AP Infant flat skulls can be avoided Chicago: Pediatricians told parents Monday to shift in- fants’ heads each night to avoid flattened skulls when they sleep on their back, the recom- mended position to avoid crib death. The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement saying there had been an in- crease of reports of children with flattened heads, probably due to advice pediatricians have been giving for several years to put children to sleep on their back. The head condition is basically preventable and treatable, the group said, and can be addressed by plac- ing infants on their stomach while they are awake or by shifting their head nightly to the right or left side when they are put to sleep on their back. The group also recommend- ed changing the baby’s orienta- tion in the crib, and turning the crib itself, so that the baby’s attention is not always focused in the same direction. The doctors also said infants should spend only minimal time in car seats since that position places the head the same way that sleeping on the back does. Reuters

Ferrari has to get act together, warns Schumi Magny-Cours (France): Michael Schumacher has warned that Ferrari will face one of their tough- est ever bat- tles if they are to hang onto their world championship crown. After Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya secured a second successive one-two to win the French GP on Sunday, the five-time champion said that the set- back here, and last week’s Williams’ win at the Nurbur- gring, had shown that Ferrari now face genuine chal- lengers. “We need to be concerned about Williams,” said Schu- macher who finished 19.5secs behind his brother while teammate Rubens Barrichel- lo was back in seventh spot after a spin on the first lap had plunged him into last place. “We know what they do and we must get our act to- gether,” said Schumacher. “Looking at the weekend here, what we achieved was as well as we could have done. “But we have to improve the situation and we have a big test coming up. We will all have to try very hard.”AFP Williams are in front, says Todd Magny-Cours (France): Ferrari boss Jean Todt ad- mitted on Monday that rivals Williams have gained the up- per hand in the chase for the world championship. After watching Ralf Schu- macher and Juan Pablo Mon- toya run away with the French Grand Prix here on Sunday for a second succes- sive one-two finish this sea- son, the sporting director of the Italian giants said his drivers and engineers will now endure a whole week of testing at three different sites as they seek to regain the ad- vantage. “Undoubtedly, the balance of power in the last four races between ourselves and the BMW,Williams, Michelin package has shifted in their favour,” said Todt.
