...never saved coupons before. I'm a total neophyte at this. But, the recession is here. How do I start? I would recommend this no-clip coupon system: saving the entire circular from the Sunday paper, writing Sunday's date on it, and saving them in a box. [Before I go shopping] I sit down with my stack, and in 10 minutes I can cut out just the ones I need for that shopping trip. Even a neophyte could do that reasonably.

To jump-start talks, Obama demanded that Israel halt all settlement construction on territory conquered in 1967 and pressed Arab states for more gestures toward normalizing ties with Israel.
