Morgan says: "My four-month-old son is getting through the night without a bottle, but he wakes up two to four times a night for his dummy. What can I do?"
BabyCentre parents share their tips:
"I started putting my baby down during his daytime naps without a dummy. It only took a couple of days to get him used to it. Then I started to put him down at night without one. I replaced it with reading some books and doing a simple bedtime routine. It distracts him from wanting the dummy. Again it only took a couple of nights."
"If you let your baby cry it out and get a toy that can be left in bed with him, he will probably forget about his dummy within a week. My daughter cried for a few days but was easily distracted by a cuddly toy."
"My mum suggested leaving her to cry for a minute or 90 seconds, rather than jumping up straight away and popping her dummy back in. This has worked really well for me. Having only done this twice, my baby now seems to go off to sleep quicker and rarely cries for her dummy."
"I'd recommend getting a dummy clip and attaching it to his pyjamas. I did this with my daughter and she was able to get her dummy herself at night."
"I took the dummy away at the first nap of the day and just rubbed my baby's back for a couple of minutes. It took 10 minutes of crying and she went to sleep. With the second nap of the day she went straight down and that night slept through.
"Try giving a comforter such as a muslin or soft toy instead. My daughter loves hers and uses it as a sleep aid. She only has it in bed. Remove all dummies so you're not tempted to give in."
"We had the same problem at around six months. We went cold turkey and took the dummy away from our son. We had one bad night and have never looked back! He doesn't wake at all now. Don't be afraid, just take the plunge!"
"My nephew kept crying for his dummy. My sister said that what worked for her was to take away the dummy, and use teething toys instead. This way, he still had something to suck on, but the dummy was out of the picture."
"We've taught our baby to go to sleep on his own. When he does wake in the middle of the night he knows how to put himself back to sleep without the dummy. We started taking the dummy out just before he fell asleep. If he woke up and cried we gave it back to him for a couple minutes and repeated the process. It wasn't long before he didn't need it to fall asleep."

My 4 month old has been sleeping through the night since he was about 3 weeks old, apart from the odd night (we are very lucky I know) all of a sudden he is waking up 2/3 times in the night, usually very upset and a bottle is the only thing that soothes him! I am finding this harder then the newborn days and am worrying about how were going to get him back to sleeping through again! I know he is still very young but he clearly does love his sleep! Not sure if this has anything to do with it but he is teething, very early, he has his 2 bottom teeth already!! Because of the teething we started giving him a dummy and now relies on this also and often wakes up because it's fallen out, I don't want to take it away if it is soothing pain but at the same time it keeps waking him up when it falls out! Any advice or tips would be hugely appreciated!!

Phoenix Coyotes' shutout win over Calgary Flames: By the numbers
It was Phoenix's first shutout of the season, so by extension it was the first shutout posted this year by either Mike Smith or Thomas Greiss. The latter goaltender got the nod in this game and stopped all 27 shots that came his way.
Three players recorded two assists Tuesday: Radim Vrbata, Lauri Korpikoski and Mike Ribeiro. Korpikowski was the only one to get a goal with his two assists. Four additional Coyotes recorded two points in the contest.
The Coyotes' six goals tied their season high, which they've done three other times -- all wins.
Phoenix got all three of its goals in the second period on just 14 attempts at the net.
Rob Klinkhammer's rebound goal on a power play in the near the end of the contest snapped a streak of 15 straight times the Coyotes were unable to score with a man advantage.
Mikkel Boedker scored on a wrist shot past Reto Berra for his 29th point of the season, a new career high for the sixth-year wing.
The Coyotes now have 51 points in the standings, and are gaining ground in the Pacific Division on Vancouver, which has 55 but is on a five-game losing streak. Minnesota also has 51 points and is knocking on the door in the Wild Card hunt.

Yes, that Augustus, the one called Octavius until he maneuvered himself into becoming Caesar. He was intelligent and very politically savvy. Why he married Livia is a mystery, but according to ancient historians, she married him because she wanted her son to become Caesar. (Had women been allowed to rule, she would have wanted to do so in her own right.) And what's the best, quickest way for him to become Caesar? Eliminate all of Augustus's presumptive heirs, have Tiberius adopted by Augustus, and then have Augustus meet a premature end. At some point, Augustus, astute politico that he was, figured out what was up. He also knew Livia's weapon of choice was poison. Rather than alert her to his suspicions by having someone taste his food for him, Augustus opted to eat only figs that he personally picked off his trees.
Now, while Augustus was smart, Livia was smarter. She came up with a very clever solution. She coated each of the fruits on the trees with poison. Her plan succeeded, Augustus dropped dead, and Tiberius became Caesar.

2 Breakout Biotechs to Watch 0 comments
Two small-cap biotechs have just confirmed bottom formations, setting up good buying opportunities on any pullbacks to the breakout level where risk can be better managed.
Stocks have been acting strong this week, though in early-Wednesday trading, the stock index futures are slightly lower. Since the November 25 close, the Spyder Trust (SPY) is up 8.5%, the SPDR Diamonds Trust (DIA), which tracks the Dow Industrials, is up 7.8%, and the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) is up 12.2%.
Though the intermediate-term technical picture for the stock market is positive, the short-term analysis suggests the rally may be running out of steam. World markets now seem to be convinced that this week's European summit will result in a viable solution to the Eurozone debt crisis. If this is the case, some profit taking would not be surprising.
There are quite a few attractive opportunities right now, and two biotech stocks in particular broke through major resistance on Tuesday, confirming their bottom formations. Both could be good buys on a pullback to the breakout level, but in general, do not be an aggressive buyer at current levels. Now is also a good time to take some profits in a recent ETF recommendation.
Chart Analysis: The SPDR Diamonds Trust (DIA) is holding just above the short-term downtrend, line a. On Monday, the daily Starc+ band was tested, and it is now at $123.84.
- The October 27 highs are at $122.58 with the July highs at $127.30
- Initial support stands at $120 with the rising 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $118.19
- Major support, line b, is in the $115.50-$116 area
- The Dow Industrials' Advance/Decline (A/D) line acted stronger than prices on the Thanksgiving-week correction, holding well above the early-November lows
- The A/D line has not yet exceeded the October highs and has first good support at line c
The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) has traded in a narrow range this week with key resistance still in the $77 area, line e. This is also the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement resistance.
- There is initial support now at $73 with stronger support at the gap in the $70.18-$72.56 area
- Key support stands at $66.52, which was the November 25 low
- The Russell 2000 A/D line was weaker than prices on the last decline, as it got closer to the October lows. This is a sign of weakness
- The A/D numbers on the rally have also been disappointing, as the A/D line has fallen short of the early-November lows and the downtrend, line f
Cerus Corporation (CERS) is a $151 million biotechnology company whose primary product acts to inactivate harmful substances in blood transfusions. On Tuesday, seven-month resistance, line a, at $3.11 was overcome.
- Next upside targets are in the $3.80-$4.00 area
- The relative performance, or RS analysis, completed its bottom formation in the middle of November when it moved through the resistance at line b. The breakout level was retested last week
- On-balance volume (OBV) moved through resistance (line c) two weeks before the RS line and is acting very strong
- Volume on Tuesday was ten times the daily average and confirmed the breakout
- Initial support now stands in the $3.04-$2.98 area with stronger support at $2.76
Oncothyreon Inc. (ONTY) is a $348 million clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company whose products focus on cancer treatment. The resistance at $7.70, line d, was decisively overcome on Tuesday.
- The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from the July high at $10.61 is at $9.32. ONTY traded as high as $21.78 in 2004
- The price action has been confirmed by the RS analysis, as it has also surpassed important resistance at line e
- Volume was four times greater than the three-month average on Tuesday and the daily OBV is above its weighted moving average (WMA). Weekly OBV (not shown) is clearly positive
- There is initial support at $7.75-$7.80 with further support in the $7.40-$7.50 area
What It Means: The powerful nature of the rally from the Black Friday lows seems to be losing upside momentum. A 2%-3% pullback could make the market stronger. Many stocks and ETFs are well above first good support, so the risk is high on new long positions.
The two biotech stocks should be bought on any pullback to support where risk can be well controlled. Both are small caps, and I still expect the "January Effect" to make a major impact by the end of this month.
How to Profit: For Cerus Corporation (CERS), go 50% long at $3.04 and 50% long at $2.96 with a stop at $2.72 (risk of approx. 9.3%).
For Oncothyreon Inc. (ONTY), go 50% long at $7.74 and 50% long at $7.46 with a stop at $6.84 (risk of approx. 10%).
Portfolio Update
As per the November 25 Week Ahead column:
- Buyers should be 50% long the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) at $68.72 and 50% long at $66.88. Sell half that position now and use a stop at $68.82 on the remaining position
- Buyers should be 50% long the iShares S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index Fund (IJT) at $68.64, but the second buying level at $66.62 was not hit. Use a stop at $69.74 on the open position
- Buyers should be 50% long the Royce Value Trust (RVT) at $11.62. Use a stop at $11.62
- Buyers should be 50% long Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (VLTR) at $21.64. Use a stop at $22.12 on that position

The American Heart Association's Ventura County Heart Walk is moving to a waterfront location this year. The annual event takes place for the first time at San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura on May 4, 2013 from 8-11 a.m.
The community is invited to form a team with family, friends or coworkers and enjoy a 5K walk along the beach, educational booths, health expo and more. There is no fee to participate. Walkers who raise $100 or more are eligible to receive a souvenir Heart Walk t-shirt.
The Ventura County Heart Walk aims to build awareness of heart disease and stroke, the nation's No. 1 and No. 4 killers, and raise $90,000 for the American Heart Association's heart and stroke research efforts, community education programs and health care quality improvement initiatives.
Adam Weisner, manager of Union Bank's Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley Town Center branch offices, serves as the chair of the event for the second year in a row.
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are the leading killers in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 831,000 men, women and children every year. The Heart Walk is an annual tradition that brings the community together to raise awareness and critical funds to fight these diseases. The American Heart Association is devoted to saving lives from heart disease and stroke by funding innovative research, fighting for stronger public health policies, and providing lifesaving tools and information to prevent and treat the leading causes of death in the U.S.
Individuals, groups and companies interested in forming a team for the Heart Walk may visit www.VenturaHeartWalk.org or call 213-291-7073.
The Ventura County Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway and Jenny Craig and locally by Union Bank. YHC Magazine is the media sponsor.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
WinZip 9.0, from the market leader among file-compression utilities, has entered public beta with scheduled release later this year, bringing with it a new .zip format - which means some of its functions will not be compatible with earlier versions or other programs.
If you use the forthcoming WinZip 9.0's latest encryption and compression options, or create larger archives than were previously possible, your .zip files won't be universally readable.
The final version will cost $29, and will be available as a free upgrade for all registered users. Other new features include HTML help and improved dialog boxes.
Almost every PC user can open a .zip file. Dedicated compression programs such as file managers, file viewers, and even Windows XP can handle these compressed archives. When a format is this ubiquitous, changing it, even to make major improvements, is risky for all concerned.
Still, the update provides a few handy new functions.
No change to the .zip format is likely to be as welcome as improved encryption. Using the old standard, a password-protected .zip file was safe from the prying eyes of an average person, but not those of an average hacker.
So WinZip 9.0 supports 128- and 256-bit key AES encryption, that is unlikely to be cracked by anyone. The old password protection is available, as well.
The new beta can also make your archives smaller with the optional "enhanced deflate" compression method. But don't expect miracles. Casual testing shows significant improvements only with files that compressed a great deal to begin with, such as .bmp files. The current WinZip 8.1 can read, but not write, "enhanced deflate" .zip files.
The new version's 64-bit extensions mean you can create archives holding more than 65,535 files and larger than 4GB - assuming you have the hardware resources and desire. Of the three format changes, this one is least likely to cause compatibility problems; few people share 5GB files over the Internet.
WinZip isn't the first company to monkey with the .zip format recently; but its market share makes it significant. PKWare, the corporate heir to the late Phil Katz, inventor of the .zip format, has introduced incompatible options over the years, as well.
In fact, WinZip's enhanced deflate method and 64-bit extensions are based on, and compatible with, recent PKZip upgrades. PKZip added AES encryption earlier this year, but the two implementations are not compatible.
WinZip has posted the encryption spec on its Web site. Unlike PKWare, WinZip will not offer a free vie_pconnect("user=cking the appropriate application.
Will other developers of compression utilities adopt the changes? Representatives of PentaWare, maker of PentaZip and Aladdin Systems, which markets Stuff-It, confirmed that they were working to make their products compatible with WinZip 9.0. PKWare has not yet decided whether it will support WinZip's encryption.
And what about Microsoft? Windows XP handles .zip files transparently, and less knowledgeable Windows XP users sometimes unzip without even realising they're opening compressed files.
These people may not know why a "compressed folder" refuses to open, if Microsoft does not support WinZip's new format.
Microsoft will only say that it "has nothing to announce at this point."
Whatever happens, it's inevitable that some users will find themselves looking at a .zip file that they can't open.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

There are plenty of carriers out there that come close, but few reach the heights of comfort, function, and style that set the Hotslings Adjustable Pouch apart. So easy, stretchy, and comfy, this intuitive sling gives you multiple ways to carry your babe and find the perfect fit for both of you. Adjustable sizing ensures comfort through postpartum changes, and allows other users like family, sitters, or nannies to comfortably carry your babe. Not just ready to give you and your baby hours of support, the Hotslings Adjustable Pouch also comes in fashionable prints that modern moms love.
Adjusting the Buckles
- Adjust your pouch before putting baby in. Out of the package, the Hotslings AP fits the largest in the caregiver size range. To make the pouch smaller, pull the straps through the buckles.
- While holding the buckle, pull each strap equally to tighten the pouch to desired tightness. Without baby in sling, check for correct fit by placing the pouch on your shoulder (red arrow against your body, pointing toward your neck). The "hs" tag should be at the top of your hip bone or approximately 3 inches below your belly button.
- Place baby carefully in pouch according to the directions below.
- If pouch feels comfortable at this size, you are ready to go. If pouch is too loose or too tight, take baby out of pouch and adjust slightly by pulling the straps through the buckles until you have a good fit.
- Baby should be high and tight with the lowest part of the pouch near your belly button. If pouch is fully extended or fully collapsed and does not fit, please contact customer service for a solution.

Cradle Carry (8lbs - 4 months)
- Put pouch on shoulder. Line up "hs" tag under the breast opposite the wearing shoulder. Hold baby in the arm of the "wearing shoulder" and cross baby's feet.
- Open the outer edge of the pouch so it clears the baby's bottom. Line up the seam with the baby's bottom.
- Lower him/her bottom first, sliding their back down your front. Baby's feet will be crossed and on top of his/her body.
- Use arm to support baby's head as you slide baby down into the pouch. Baby should be between the two layers of fabric.
- Do not put baby's head in until baby's bottom is all the way at the bottom of the sling. Now cradle his/her head with the side of the sling.
- Baby should sit semi-reclined. Baby's chin should not be pressed against his/her chest. Regularly monitor your baby's breathing while in this position.
Front Carry (2-8 months)
- Put pouch on desired shoulder. Line up "hs" tag under the breast opposite the "wearing shoulder." This position is for babies with full head and neck control.
- Hold baby high up on your chest, his/her back to your front, slightly facing sideways (away from "wearing shoulder").
- Find the pouch opening. Cross baby's legs and put them on top of baby's body. Grab "padding."
- Lower baby's bottom into the pouch. Baby should be between the two layers of fabric. The seam should be in front of baby.
- Baby's weight should be tipped toward you and resting back against your body. Baby may be facing forward or sideways.
- Check to make sure baby's bottom and legs are between fabric layers. Baby's arms can be in or out. Head support should not be necessary at this stage.
Hip Carry (6-8+ months)
- Put pouch on desired shoulder. Line up "hs" tag under your breast opposite the "wearing shoulder."
- Hold baby with his tummy on your shoulder opposite "wearing shoulder."
- Put baby's feet all the way through. Make sure the "seam" is in line with baby's spine.
- Open folds of pouch to make a seat. Drop baby into seat by lowering baby's bottom between layers of fabric.
- Bottom "padding" should be under baby's bent knees and can be pulled up over baby's back.
- Baby's bent legs should straddle your waist and his bottom should be below his knees. Periodically bend baby's knees to keep baby's legs comfortable.

Yeah right
Police were called to a hit and run. One car had rear-ended another and driven off.
Police were able to catch up with the suspect who was clearly trying to make attempts to outrun police by not stopping and making sudden turns.
Police ran the license plate on the car and found the owner. Police knew her from previous encounters.
She told police she left her car at a friend of a friend's house that morning so he could fix her brakes.
She said the man had her car for a week and when she went to pick it up, the brakes were not fix properly. She paid him some money and agreed to give him the balance when the car was fixed properly.
Knowing the man had a suspended license, she told police she brought him the car to his house to work on it.
She said she had not given him permission to drive her car and had no idea why he would run from police other than because of a suspended license.
She was told to call police if she heard from the man.
She told them she felt bad for the man because he is unemployed and has no money. She refused to press charges.

They look glum because the movie is way underperforming at the box office.
Maybe if the producers had shaved up Johnny & made him look a little better instead of a plump bearded schmuck more women would be interested.

Found May 04, 2012 on
Midwest Sports Fans:
Buffalo Bills
YouTube sensation Alex Tanney has accepted an invitation to attend a 3-day rookie minicamp for the Buffalo Bills set for May 11.
Tanny, known by most for his "Trick Shot Quarterback" videos on You-Tube, actually had an impressive college career.
While playing at the Division III level for Monmouth College (where?), Tanney compiled the following staggering statistics:
1,205 for 1,756 or 68.6 percent
14,249 yards (Division III record)
157 touchdowns (NCAA record)
30 interceptions
threw for over 300 yards 32 times
Tanney's high school consisted of only 170 students. That's probably one reason he ended up playing for Monmouth College, which is in Illinois by the way.
His videos are quite impressive, and so is his size: 6-4, 220 lbs. That is prototypical NFL QB if you ask me.
Was it his YouTubing efforts that led to this invite to Bills camp? Maybe, Maybe not.
It did get him an interview on ESPN and nationwide exposure though.
The advantages of social media just keep paying off, and...

Read the report of the capsize, rescue, and boat recovery (.pdf)
The CWF Africa to the Americas Expedition left Dakar, Senegal on January 23rd 2013 to row unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean on a daring 3,569 nautical mile journey to Miami, USA. Using human power to propel the boat, and solar and wind power to charge its instruments, the crew conducted research on the ocean and themselves, sharing it in real-time to viewers world wide.
The crew of four men rowed the open ocean self-supported, 24 hours per day in 1-, 2- and 4-hour shifts.
On the morning of April 6, 2013, the rowboat was hit by two irregular box-shaped waves traveling out of the usual swell pattern. While the crew was in shift change, exchanging rowers between the cabin and on-deck, water inundated the open hatch and capsized the boat, its self-righting capabilities compromised by the rapidly filling main cabin. Read the report of the capsize, rescue, and boat recovery (.pdf).
The crew of the ocean rowboat James Robert Hanssen:
- Jordan Hanssen - Capt. and Guinness World Record holder
- Adam Kreek - 2008 Beijing Olympic rowing gold medalist
- Markus Pukonen - Adventure filmmaker and wilderness firefighter
- Patrick Fleming - Wilderness EMT and whitewater raft guide
- Shore-based expedition coordinator and ocean rowing veteran Greg Spooner
Explore the 73-day route on our live interactive map
This nearly 3659 nm Atlantic-crossing and Guinness Record attempt (first to row from mainland Africa to mainland USA) left no room for mistakes, and much less for sleeping quarters on their 29-foot rowboat.
This ocean-crossing demanded that the rowing team demonstrate expertise in meteorology, navigation, nutrition, oceanography, technology, shipboard and oceanic emergencies, expedition planning, sports medicine, interpersonal communication, leadership and, of course, perseverance.

text: NPR has a story today on Morning Edition about the increasing intrerest in the Do Not Track option that online services are supposed to be offering to their customers. I didn't hear all of it, but I heard enough to draw the conclusion that the usual Washington tug of war is in full swing as threatened interest groups try to de-fang a proposal that might benefit the ordinary Joe or Jane and cost the Interests some money in so doing. OK, there it is: a Bolshie statement about the need for government control of predatory capitalist actions. At issue seems to be the concept of "privacy". Well, what do you mean by that anyway? Blah,blah. Yak, yak. Lobby, lobby, Sell-out, sell-out. What I mean, Congress persons and regulators, is this: when I click the Do Not Track button I expect the online site, to, well, let's see, how can I put this: I expect it, indeed I urgently require it, not to track. Anything. At all. Anytime. Ever. I accept the possibility that I might miss out on Great buys in power tools this month, or newly released jazz albums I might like. But, I prefer, like Scrooge, to be left alone. DO NOT TRACK. I hope this contribution to the discussion helps a little bit. Thank you and good day.

AP News in Brief at 7:58 p.m. EST
Digging in for confirmation fight, Obama nominates Hagel to head Pentagon, Brennan for the CIA
WASHINGTON (AP) — Digging in for a fight, President Barack Obama riled Senate Republicans and some Democrats, too, on Monday by nominating former senator and combat veteran Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon and anti-terrorism chief John Brennan as the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Hagel and Brennan, in separate Senate confirmation hearings, will face sharp questions on a range of contentious issues, including U.S. policy about Israel and Iran, targeted drone attacks and harsh interrogation tactics. Of the two men, Hagel is expected to face a tougher path, though both are likely to be confirmed.
Hagel would be the first enlisted soldier and first Vietnam veteran to head the Pentagon.
"These two leaders have dedicated their lives to protecting our country," Obama said, standing alongside them and the men they would succeed during a ceremony in the White House East Room. "I urge the Senate to confirm them as soon as possible so we can keep our nation secure and the American people safe."
For Obama, a pair of combative confirmation hearings could turn into a distraction as he opens his second term. But the president signaled he was ready to take that risk.
Obama's choice of Chuck Hagel for new US secretary of defense causes jitters in Israel
JERUSALEM (AP) — President Barack Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel as the next U.S. secretary of defense is causing jitters in Israel, where some circles view the former Nebraska senator as unsympathetic or even hostile.
Hagel's positions on Israel's two most pressing foreign policy issues — Iran's nuclear program and relations with the Palestinians — appear to be at odds with the Israeli government, and critics here fear the appointment could increase pressure on the Jewish state to make unwanted concessions. The appointment could also signal further strains in what is already a cool relationship between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to win re-election later this month.
"Because of his statements in the past, and his stance toward Israel, we are worried," Reuven Rivlin, the speaker of the Israeli parliament and a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party, told The Associated Press. But, he added, the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Israel is strong and "one person doesn't determine policy."
Netanyahu's office refused to comment on the appointment, as did officials in the Israeli foreign and defense ministries. But Rivlin's comments reflected what has been a common sentiment among analysts and commentators here in recent days. In their evening news broadcasts, Israel's three main TV stations on Monday all portrayed Hagel as cool toward Israel.
Known as a maverick in the Senate, Hagel has raised eyebrows in Israel with a series of comments and actions over the years that some here have deemed insufficiently supportive of the Jewish state.
Despite name change decreed by Abbas, 'State of Palestine' remains largely on paper
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — With U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state in his pocket, President Mahmoud Abbas wants official documents to carry a new emblem: "State of Palestine."
But scrapping the old "Palestinian Authority" logo is as far as Abbas is willing to go in provoking Israel. He is not rushing to change passports and ID cards Palestinians need to pass through Israeli crossings.
The very modesty of Abbas' move to change official stationery underscores his limited options so long as Israel remains in charge of territories the world says should one day make up that state.
"At the end of the day, the Palestinian Authority won't cause trouble for its people," Nour Odeh, a spokeswoman for Abbas' self-rule government, said of the need for caution.
Abbas won overwhelming U.N. General Assembly recognition for a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in late November, a rare diplomatic victory over a sidelined Israel. The U.N. nod was important to the Palestinians because it affirmed the borders of their future state in lands Israel captured in 1967.
US banks try to clean up mortgage mess left over from financial crisis, agree to pay $8.5B
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. banks have taken another step to clear away the wreckage of the 2008 financial crisis by agreeing to pay $8.5 billion to settle charges that they wrongfully foreclosed on millions of homeowners.
The deal announced Monday could compensate hundreds of thousands of Americans whose homes were seized because of abuses such as "robo-signing," when banks automatically signed off on foreclosures without properly reviewing documents. The agreement will also help eliminate huge potential liabilities for the banks.
But consumer advocates complained that regulators settled for too low a price by letting banks avoid full responsibility for foreclosures that victimized families and fueled an exodus from neighborhoods across the country.
The settlement ends an independent review of loan files required under a 2011 action by regulators. Bruce Marks, CEO of the advocacy group Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America, noted that ending the review will cut short investigations into the banks' practices.
"The question of who's to blame — the homeowners or the lenders — if you stop this investigation now, that will always be an open-ended question," Marks said.
Report finds US death rates from cancer still inching down but some tumors defying the trend
WASHINGTON (AP) — Death rates from cancer are continuing to inch down, researchers reported Monday.
Now the question is how to hold onto those gains, and do even better, even as the population gets older and fatter, both risks for developing cancer.
"There has been clear progress," said Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society, which compiled the annual cancer report with government and cancer advocacy groups.
But bad diets, lack of physical activity and obesity together wield "incredible forces against this decline in mortality," Brawley said. He warned that over the next decade, that trio could surpass tobacco as the leading cause of cancer in the U.S.
Overall, deaths from cancer began slowly dropping in the 1990s, and Monday's report shows the trend holding. Among men, cancer death rates dropped by 1.8 percent a year between 2000 and 2009, and by 1.4 percent a year among women. The drops are thanks mostly to gains against some of the leading types — lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers — because of treatment advances and better screening.
Fighting in Syria as world slams Assad speech; Netherlands ships Patriots to Turkey
BEIRUT (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday expressed disappointment with Syrian President Bashar Assad for rejecting the most important elements of an international roadmap to end the country's civil war — a political handover and establishment of a transitional governing body.
Assad in a rare speech Sunday outlined his own vision for ending the country's conflict with a plan that would keep him in power. He also dismissed any chance of dialogue with the armed opposition and called on Syrians to fight what he called "murderous criminals."
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday the secretary-general is disappointed that Assad's speech "does not contribute to a solution that could end the terrible suffering of the Syrian people." Nesirky said Ban and U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi will continue to work for a political transition that leads to U.N.-organized elections.
The West, including the U.S. and Britain, denounced Assad's speech, which came amid stepped-up international efforts for a peaceful settlement to the Syrian conflict.
On Monday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also criticized the Syrian leader's initiative. He accused Assad of "state terrorism" and called on him to relinquish power.
Shell oil-drilling vessel refloated, towed to Kodiak Island bay; rig ran aground in storm
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A large floating drill rig that ran aground a week ago on a remote Alaska island arrived as planned Monday in the shelter of a Kodiak Island bay after being towed about 45 miles through swells as high as 15 feet, officials said.
The Royal Dutch Shell PLC vessel was lifted off rocks late Sunday and towed away from the southeast side of Sitkalidak Island, where it sat exposed to the full-on fury of Gulf of Alaska winter storms since grounding near the beach there on New Year's Eve.
The Kulluk — a circular barge with a diameter as long as nearly three basketball courts — was towed for about 12 hours to the protected waters in Kiliuda Bay, where it will undergo further inspection, including an underwater look at its hull.
"We could not be more impressed with the caliber of the response and recovery crews who were safe and meticulous in their effort to move the Kulluk offshore," Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith said by email.
The vessel will remain in the bay 43 miles southwest of the city of Kodiak until inspectors review its condition and the Coast Guard clears it to travel. Shell incident commander Sean Crutchfield said there's no timetable for departure.
Sleepless in space: Trouble getting a good night's rest bedevils astronauts, future Mars trip
WASHINGTON (AP) — Astronauts have a down-to-Earth problem that could be even worse on a long trip to Mars: They can't get enough sleep. And over time, the lack of slumber can turn intrepid space travelers into drowsy couch potatoes, a new study shows.
In a novel experiment, six volunteers were confined in a cramped mock spaceship in Moscow to simulate a 17-month voyage. It made most of the would-be spacemen lethargic, much like birds and bears heading into winter, gearing up for hibernation.
The men went into a prolonged funk. Four had considerable trouble sleeping, with one having minor problems and the sixth mostly unaffected. Some had depression issues. Sometimes, a few of the men squirreled themselves away into the most private nooks they could find. They didn't move much. They avoided crucial exercise.
"This looks like something you see in birds in the winter," said lead author David Dinges, a sleep expert at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
The experiment was run and funded by Russian and European space agencies. A report on the simulation's effect on the men was published online Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
FBI unveils excavation plan that may lead to possible victims of 'Speed Freak Killers'
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The FBI on Monday began the excavation of an abandoned well in Central California in a renewed search for possible victims of two men known as the "Speed Freak Killers."
A team of the agency's forensic experts will be joined by local authorities, California State University, Chico anthropologists and other investigators for the next few weeks to painstakingly dig up the San Joaquin County site mostly by hand, said Herbert Brown, the agent in charge of the FBI's Sacramento office.
The FBI is leading the new excavation effort after assisting the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department with a previous dig.
The sheriff's department was criticized for its handling of that excavation of an abandoned well that yielded the remains of three bodies and a fetus that authorities suspected were victims of Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog.
Two other bodies were found buried elsewhere around the same time. Four of the bodies have been identified as long-missing women suspected of being killed by Shermantine and Herzog. The fifth remains unidentified.
'Ultrahigh definition' comes into sharper focus as makers unveil big, not giant, TVs
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The race to make TVs larger and larger has created a colossal problem for manufacturers: As screens grow, picture quality worsens — unless the viewer moves farther away from the screen.
The issue is playing out in cozy dens and family rooms around the world. To get the full benefit of a large high-definition screen, viewers must move back from their sets. Because the ideal viewing distance is no closer than three times the height of your screen, or about one and a half times the diagonal length, big TVs have literally forced many families' backs against the wall.
This year, TV makers are doing their best to give huge-screen fanatics more breathing room. New "ultrahigh-definition" sets were shown off Monday by companies such as LG Electronics Inc., Sharp Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas.
Consumers tend to buy a new set every seven years or so, and television manufacturers are hoping the technology will give consumers a reason to upgrade.
TV makers are also making their sets smarter. New TVs from Samsung, for instance, will recognize an expanded range of gestures so people can swipe through on-screen menus in a way that revolutionizes the old remote control.

Notes from Tammy
Bonus Recipes from Marie Cole
I am an avid freezer cook! I first learned about freezer cooking almost three years ago. I had one of those just really awful days, when everything when wrong. I had a five-year-old daughter and an eighteen-month old baby girl, and I was really overwhelmed and tired. Nevertheless, I decided I was going to get it together and that my home was going to sparkle and my kids were going to be perfect!
On the day I decided that all of this was going to happen, my mother-in-law dropped by unannounced while I was in the middle of laundry (picture mountains of laundry all over the living room floor) and my daughter had just shattered a bowl of cereal all over the floor. After my mother-in-law left, my daughter decided to write her name on the carpet with pink calamine lotion, and my other daughter decided to see what artistic creations she could design with the contents of her diaper, not to mention the burned- to- the- size- of- a- hockey- puck pot roast I was making for dinner. Yikes! I certainly didn't get it together that day, but rather lost it by the end of the day! On that day, I prayed for help, and about three weeks later, I found out about freezer cooking. So, for me, freezer cooking has been an answer to a heart-felt, earnest prayer for help!
Since that time, I have calculated that every time I freezer cook, I save myself about forty hours of time. I have used that time to start two small businesses (Freezer Pleasers and Grace Notes Piano Studio), play the piano for our church, homeschool my two daughters, co-direct a large homeschool co-op, teach Sunday School, conduct women's retreats, teach freezer cooking classes at our local university, and I even wrote a cookbook for freezer cooks! It's available on my website, at www.freezerpleasers.com.
I love to give freezer cooking classes because I feel that out of all of the answers to that prayer I prayed three years ago, freezer cooking has made the most impact on our family. It has saved us money, helped us to reduce those high-fat runs to the fast food restaurant, and gathered my family around the heart of my home, the kitchen table. I also love the freedom I have to help other people.
I used to want to offer to bring someone a meal, but was having trouble getting dinner on my own table, much less someone else's! Now, I only have to grab an entrée or two from the freezer and drop it off. In this way I have been able to help people ranging from a retired missionary family whose wife had very complicated back surgery to the mother of three boys whose husband was murdered, to cancer victims, and the list goes on. It is something simple I can do to make a difference in our community!
At Freezer Pleasers, we feature the 30 Day Gourmet cookbook, because I feel it is the best one on the market! The recipes are all wonderful, and the helpful planning sheets and equivalency tables make planning a cooking day easy! We teach people how to cook the 30 Day Gourmet way!

Enjoy the bonus recipes!
Spaghetti Pie
On our Assembly Days, my friend Kim and I always make "Cheese-Filled Shells" from the "Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet." That recipe is delicious, but we always have filling left over. The filling is delicious used in this recipe in place of the ricotta cheese. We usually have enough filling left to make at least 2 pies a piece.
You can make this dish lower in fat by using part-skim ricotta. I usually serve this dish with fresh zucchini and yellow squash sautéed in a little butter and garlic, and Italian bread. My husband considers this dish the best one I make!

This recipe is one my grandmother used to serve her nine kids. They were on a strict budget, so this dish was great for stretching the meat. I like to serve it at Thanksgiving and on special occasions. The flavor is delicious, and it can stand alone as a meal as long as you add a simple vegetable or fruit.
Pink Lemonade Pie
This recipe is from my mother-in-law. She is a fantastic cook, and often relies on simple recipes like this that yield great results.
I will never forget the first time I tasted this recipe. I had never had anything quite like it! It is so refreshing and cool on a hot day, especially the summer that the temperature reached 110 and the asphalt pavement began to melt. It is always a hit here in Texas!
Updates from Nanci
On the Home Front I can't believe it but my firstborn is graduating from high school in a few weeks. Talk about a trip down memory lane! She's a great kid and we are so proud of her! Of course, her impending Open House has given me a reason to draw up a new "to do" list for Bob. He would be about halfway through it if I wouldn't keep adding things! Summer Cookin'I don't know about you but I plan to schedule a cooking day soon - before it gets HOT and before the cicadas start driving us nuts here in Indiana:) Why don't you join me? Click here to check out my recipe list. Since I'm hoping this will hold me for most of the summer, I'm breaking the "rules" and using 14 recipes. The trick to that, though, is to make at least half of them "super easy" recipes.

(To be a member, you must own a copy of the Freezer Cooking Manual and/or the Advantage Cooking Software for 30 Day Gourmet. The member access info is given to you upon purchase.) Yahoo Group InfoAgain, our apologies for the bogus message that you got. I like Oprah and Dr. Phil just fine but we would never send you an e-mail with a solicitation for a book about them. Especially a book that is ranked #650,000 on Amazon. What happened is called "spoofing". People (who need to get a REAL job) surf yahoo groups and choose some targets. Then they work their evil magic and pretend to be us and send a message. There are entire websites out there devoted to learning how to do this. They hit another cooking list the same day. We are hot on their trail and hope to send them to cyberjail soon. So the common internet rules of thumb are: #1 If it looks weird, it probably is. Just delete it. #2 Run anti-virus software all the time. This one didn't have a virus. They just hoped you would link to Amazon, buy something and earn them a commission. #3 Don't unsubscribe because of this. Get used to being a smart consumer on the internet too. Make the "delete" button your friend. Product Updates:Carol's Healthy Freezer Cooking eBook is selling really well! Better get yourself a copy. Lots of great info and wonderful recipes. When I read it, the word that came to my mind was "sensible". If we would all just eat sensibly, we'd be just fine. I heard yesterday that they are making low-carb Pepsi (not Diet, but low-carb) and low-carb Krispy Kreme donuts. Oh my. I'm afraid that the low-carb diet is headed the way of the low-fat diet. Once everything single food item has a "low carb" version we will think that we can eat as much of it as we want and then wonder why we are still overweight. I'm talkin' to myself here! My skinny husband asked a good question "just what will a low-carb Krispy Kreme donut be made out of anyway. Whole wheat flour and Splenda?"
Co-op Cuisine eBook Coming! Next month we will release a new eBook. This is a fun one! Co-op Cuisine was written by Jan Limiero, a veteran 30 Day Gourmet who has perfected the whole "cook with a group of friends" idea. She has this thing down to a science and the ebook is all you will need to make it work for you. The basic idea is that you get a group of 10, meet to hand out recipes, take 3 weeks to each make 1 recipe (2 when you are experienced) x 10 (1 for each person), and then meet again to swap out the food and settle up on the bills. Sounds easy, huh? Well, it's not. Jan has learned by trial and error how to do this with the least amount of "pain". I've already got my list of 9 friends. You'd better get started on one too.
Did you order the new ebook yet? You can download a free sampler and try out 3 of the recipes. Carol has some great tips and info about freezing healthy meals. No excuses now! Download versions are $6.95. CD versions are $8.95 (+ shipping)

Recipe of the Month Contest Winner
Recipe of the Month Taco Seasoning Mix
Congratulations go to Angel Sweezea of MI for her winning recipe, Taco Seasoning Mix. I've been looking for this type of recipe, and have tried a few. I really like Angel's recipe for the combination of spices and taste, and the quantity it makes.
My family loves Mexican food, and would eat it 3 or 4 times a week if I'd let them. I figured if I made my own seasoning mix, I'd get better taste, it would be more economical, and it would probably be healthier too. And I was right! The flavor is wonderful! I'm a real wimp for spicy foods and this recipe wasn't too spicy for me. You could easily make it spicier by adding more chili powder and crushed red peppers.
I was unable to reach Angel by email, so we'll have to meet her next month. Angel, when you read this, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to claim your prize.

You too can get in on the winning! Just post your favorite freeze-able recipe on the message boards. Congratulations, Angel!
Freezer Cook of the Month Contest Winner
Congratulations to Carmen Beverly of Alabama for being such a great friend, and winning our Freezer Cook of the Month contest in May.
You know how mammograms are not even recommended annually until you are 40? Well one of my best friends, Esther, insisted that she get one, even when told her insurance company might not pay because she was so young. Well they did pay and thank goodness because that was one of the few good things that have happened with Esther's health since. She had breast cancer and now 5 years later I guess I'll just say everything happens to Esther. She went from being the best cook, Mom, housekeeper, and friend to doing all those things now without the use of her left arm. To help out, I cook dinner for Esther and her family every Monday and with such help as Parsley Parmesan Chicken and Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes I can cook for both of our families. I was always the worst cook or at least the "weird food" cook but with the help of your website and recipes and techniques I am reformed. It is not a hardship for me. I don't find myself making a "Taco Run" at 5:00 and the last Monday her 9 year old son hugged me and told me I made the best food! I made beans last night and will use your "Freezer Techniques" to store them. This Monday, I will just pop them out of the freezer and I might even get another hug!

Gourmet Q&A from Tammy
Cookin' at the Keyboard with Shelley
The Advantage Cooking software is such a great tool! When it comes to planning a cooking day, I hardly have to think anymore. It takes only minutes to create a new "Cooking Day" and select the recipes I want to prepare. With one click of the mouse, the Grocery Report is printed and I'm on my way to the store. Before grabbing my keys, there are three things that I always remember to do:
1) Print a Container Report. The Grocery Report is a list of the food items needed to cook; the Container Report is a list of the storage items needed to freeze. Containers can be a variety of things, e.g. freezer bags, rigid containers, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, cupcake liners. If I come home without enough of these important items, I either have to improvise, or make another trip to the store (both of which can be frustrating and time consuming!).
2) Detour through the kitchen. I'm always anxious to get in the car, but a few minutes spent here saves me money at the checkout. I do a quick inventory of the cupboards and pantry, eliminating the items on the Grocery Report (and Container Report) that are already in the kitchen. No need to come home with double and have to store it until next time.
3) Consider the staples. I can't count the number of times I've finished a cooking session, only to discover that we're out of butter, or milk, or flour, or something! I was just at the store and I'm not in the mood to go back. I've tried two different methods to avoid this event, and they both work equally well. First, manually write in the staples your family can't live without. Secondly, create a recipe called "Household Staples" and add it to the Cooking Day. My recipe contains things like butter, milk, flour, bread, lunch meat, peanut butter, lettuce, bananas, and apples.
By using the software, I find myself conquering the aisles at the grocery store before it's necessary to look at the recipes I'm cooking. Adding a few practical steps, in the right order, gives me an even greater "Advantage!"
