Infant Deaths Prompt CPSC Warning About Sling Carriers for Babies

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is advising parents and caregivers to be cautious when using infant slings for babies younger than four months of age.

The sling?s fabric can press against an infant?s nose and mouth, blocking the baby?s breathing and rapidly suffocating a baby within a minute or two.

Leaving your job? Don't forget your 401(k)

Question: I'm in my 30's and have a 401(k) from a previous job, 75% of which is invested in a variety of stock portfolios. Although my stock holdings have recovered a bit recently, I'm still down about ,000 from my peak balance.
