Prague has always boasted fairy-tale castles, ornate palaces and historic museums, but it has also developed a sharp and happening arts and culture scene. Harriet Cooper uncovers the Czech capital's bohemian sights and hangouts.
The contemporary gallery
The DOX Centre of Contemporary Art in arty Holešovice transformed a factory into a venue for visual arts, literature and performance. Its thought-provoking mission statement declares, 'Today, when more and more people tend to think dangerously alike, art's capacity to suspend, even for a moment, our habitual ways of seeing may be its greatest value.'

The architectural icon
Striking a pose on the Rašínovo embankment, overlooking the Vltava river, is the Nationale-Nederlanden building. It was designed by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic, the former of whom nicknamed it 'Fred and Ginger'.
The go-to design store
Potten & Pannen is the go-to place for the coolest of kitchenware. It began in 1992 when Pavel Stanek noticed a dearth in quality kitchen goods after the revolution. He duly opened a flagship store in the centre of Prague, where his curated collection of utensils became an instant hit.
The alternative sculptures
Vratislav Novák designed the huge red Metronome on the Letná Hill as a memorial to the Czech struggles under communism. The works of David Cerný – the Prague-born enfant terrible of the art world – are also dotted around the capital. Check out his three giant bronze babies beside the modern art gallery Museum Kampa.
The cool studio space
Cerný also opened the MeetFactory in 2001. In a former disused factory in the gritty Smichov district, the nonprofit centre for contemporary art buzzes with screenings, exhibitions and concerts.
The film festival
The Prague International Film Festival has grown from an amateur concern to an international contender. Now in its 24th year, it is a melting pot of both up-and-coming and established Czech talent.
The urban street art
The repressive Communist regime made Prague a hotbed of artistic rebellion. Its concrete structures provided a perfect canvas for street art, of which the most iconic is the John Lennon Wall in the Malá Strana district.
Did you know...?
Prague's famous astronomical clock is pretty old (over 600 years in fact), meaning it was in existence over a century before Shakespeare was even born.Book flights and hotels
The newly opened Hotel Cosmopolitan Prague is the perfect base, located in the modern Nove Mesto neighbourhood.
Run by Oldrich Sahajdák – a prestigious figure in Czech culinary circles – the Michelin-starred La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise offers six- and eleven-course menus, many of which tap into traditional ingredients.

We are scheduling more and more events daily on the SQL Lunch. Just as a reminder here are a few of the upcoming events that will be broadcasted soon on the SQL Lunch.
Date and Time: 6/04/2010 11:30 AM CST
Event URL: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/usergroups/join?id=GR2N9J&role=attend
Presenter: Thomas LeBlanc
Topic: Adding Columns to a Large Table with Transactional Replication and Database Mirroring
Description: SQL Server 2005 updated replication with the ability to have schema changes replicated to subscriptions. This seemed to be a great solution to custom software releases. You could ALTER a table and the changes would magically appear on the subscriber. Life was great. Also in 2005, database mirroring came along to help with High Availability to a Disaster Recovery site. Life got even better. The problem is with large tables and Tlog heavy changes. This is a step by step process we use to release software to these large tables.
Date and Time: 7/12/2010 11:30 AM CST

Turning onto this highway is likely the most dangerous thing you'll do today. For some, it becomes fatal.
Anyone who drives regularly in Volusia or Flagler counties knows that feeling.
You approach a state or U.S. highway from a residential area. The traffic along this highway is fast. Many drivers can be unforgiving of slow pokes. They even drive fast along this road on Sunday afternoon or late at night.
And their speed and hurry are not entirely discouraged by authorities. The speed limit near your intersection with the highway is perhaps 55 mph, or maybe as high as 65 mph. Even if it's a slower top limit, some drivers can still race and tailgate, as too many do along U.S. 1 in Holly Hill and Daytona Beach.
Turning onto this highway is likely the most dangerous thing you'll do today. For some, it becomes fatal.
That's why the Florida Department of Transportation decided to install a traffic signal along U.S. 1 in Flagler County in front of the Plantation Bay residential area. The decision is wise and overdue, and the project could be done by midyear.
The Plantation Bay Community Association had long lobbied for a traffic signal at the U.S. 1 entrance to the home area. They asked in 2009 and 2011.
The turn for many was a problem. The drivers along U.S. 1 have right-of-way, but if you're trying to turn south onto U.S. 1 from Plantation Bay, you can't always see northbound drivers.
A fatal crash last year convinced FDOT that the association was right about adding a traffic light along U.S. 1. A May 3 accident killed Harriet C. Look, 76, and Diane M. Teske, 68, both of Plantation Bay.
Look was leaving Plantation Bay in her car, with Teske as passenger. Look tried to turn south on U.S. 1 from Plantation Bay. A northbound truck crashed into Look's car in a "T-bone" manner and killed both women.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the truck driver, who escaped with his life, was not at fault. This was a sad accident — and such sad, fatal accidents tend to happen more often where speed and a lack of needed traffic calming is involved.
The department has lowered the speed limit to 60 mph, down from 65 mph, on both sides of Plantation Bay. But they haven't changed the 65 mph limit in front of Eagle Rock, which lies north of Plantation Bay along U.S. 1. Officials at FDOT should reconsider that decision, and they should consider slowing traffic further in the vicinity of both residential areas. Speed kills.
According to FDOT's Office of Policy Planning, fatal incidents on Florida's public roads are down considerably from a 2005 peak of 3,533. In 2011, that number dropped to 2,400, although some counties saw a spike in traffic fatalities in 2012.
To continue a downward trend, FDOT needs to listen closely to the concerns of associations such as that of Plantation Bay. It needs to lower the speed limit on state roads near residential developments. And it needs to add signage to warn drivers along such highways to slow down and watch for residential traffic.
Of course, drivers need to help too. Florida drivers should slow down, put down the cellphone and use two hands on the steering wheels. Most important, drivers should apply more defensive strategies, and show more awareness of other drivers who need to turn onto roads safely.
If FDOT, neighborhoods and Florida drivers work together, T-bone crashes and their like will diminish, and lives will be saved.

COLUMBUS – The Portland Timbers' club-record 15-match undefeated streak was snapped on Sunday afternoon as the Columbus Crew took advantage of an early goal and red card to hand the Timbers their first road loss of 2013 with a 1-0 win at Crew Stadium.
Bernardo Anor's 5th-minute goal, his second in as many games, stood as the game-winner to end a three-match losing streak for the Crew.
Sunday's loss spoiled the Buckeye state return of former University of Akron coach Caleb Porter, who was making his first visit as Portland's coach. The Timbers (7-2-9, 30 points) were 7-0-8 since losing to Montreal back on March 9 and they were also undefeated on the road (2-0-7).
The Crew used a familiar combination to take the lead in the fifth minute as Federico Higuain found Anor on a header off a restart, the same way Anor scored Thursday against Los Angeles. This time, Higuain's left corner kick went to the 6-yard box where Anor powered his attempt inside the near post.
A bad start was made worse for Portland when Pa-Modou Kah earned a red card and conceded a penalty for committing a foul on Crew forward Aaron Schoenfeld in the box. Kah lost inside position to Schoenfeld and attempted to stop the forward, but stuck his right foot into Schoenfeld's forehead.
Luckily for the Timbers, Higuain missed the 12th-minute penalty kick. The Argentine failed to convert for the second time in six tries this season from the spot when his shot skimmed outside the left post and the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts.
With Portland down a man and on the scoreboard, Porter was forced to go the bench in the 14th minute and brought in substitute defender Futty Danso for winger Kalif Alhassan.
Despite the Timbers being reduced to 10 men, they didn't deviate from their possession game and opened the second half in control. Their pressure almost resulted in the equalizer in the 55th minute when defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste headed Valeri's corner kick off the right post.
Higuain then tried to make up for his PK misfire by freeing Dominic Oduro on an early entry pass in the 65th minute, but the speedy Ghanaian booted his shot harmlessly across the goalmouth.
Ricketts kept his team in the match with a timely save in the 75th minute when Higuain's lofted ball found Crew sub Ethan Finlay, whose diving header was swatted over the crossbar by Ricketts.
That save reenergized Portland but Timbers playmaker Diego Valeri missed on a wide open look from 13 yards, sending his strike over the goal in the 77th minute.
The Timbers had one more golden opportunity denied in the 87th minute when Crew goalkeeper Matt Lampson, playing the first time this season for the injured Andy Gruenebaum (shoulder), made a save on a blistering strike by Darlington Nagbe that was ticketed for the upper right corner.
Each team made wholesale changes to their respective lineups with three of Portland's four necessitated by CONCACAF Gold Cup call-ups to Will Johnson (Canada), Rodney Wallace (Costa Rica), and Frédéric Piquione (Martinique). The trio had combined for 10 goals and 12 assists this season.
Crew manager Robert Warzycha opted to give Wil Trapp his MLS debut after his recent participation in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
Trapp was one of five players in the Crew's starting lineup (Chad Barson, Konrad Warzycha, Danny O'Rourke and Lampson) from central Ohio high schools.
Portland next plays at home Saturday against Los Angeles. The Crew are idle in MLS play until July 20 when they host New England, but they welcome FA Cup champion Wigan Athletic to Crew Stadium on Saturday for an international friendly.

If Americans stick to their eating and exercise habits, future historians will look back on the early 21st century as a golden age of svelte.
The latest in a long string of reports on the obesity epidemic in the United States presents the usual glum picture of the present, when 35.7 percent of adults and 16.9 percent of children age 2 to 19 are obese, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported earlier this year.
But for the first time, the report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - the ninth that the groups have issued - also applies a time machine to those data. Using a model of population and other trends, the report "F as in Fat" projects that, by 2030, unless Americans change their ways, half of U.S. adults will be obese.
Building on the state-by-state obesity data CDC released in August, "F as in Fat" projects obesity rates of at least 44 percent in every state and over 60 percent in 13.
Since obesity raises the risk of numerous diseases, from type 2 diabetes to endometrial cancer, that will mean more sick people and higher medical costs, notes the report, released Tuesday.
In particular, it projects as many as 7.9 million new cases of diabetes per year, compared to 1.9 million new cases in recent years. There could also be 6.8 million new cases of chronic heart disease and stroke every year, compared with 1.3 million new cases per year now.
The increasing burden of illness will go right to the bottom line, it says: $66 billion more in annual obesity-related medical costs over and above today's $147 billion to $210 billion (out of total healthcare spending of $2.7 trillion).
That projection supports a study published earlier this year in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that found that by 2030, 42 percent of U.S. adults could be obese, adding $550 billion to healthcare costs over that period.
As with all projections, from climate models to Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," human actions can prevent the worst of the scenarios.
"This is a tale of two futures," said Jeffrey Levi of George Washington University and the executive director of Trust for America's Health. "We're at a turning point where if we don't do something now to mitigate these trends, the cost in human health and healthcare spending will be enormous."
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 30. Overweight means a BMI of 25 to 29.9. BMI is calculated by taking weight in pounds and dividing it by the square of height in inches, and multiplying the result by 703. For instance, someone who is 5 feet, 5 inches (1.6 meters) tall and weighs 185 pounds (84 kg) has a BMI of 30.8.
The projections emerge from the increase in obesity rates among U.S. adults, which have more than doubled from the 15 percent of 1980, and children, which have more than tripled since 1980.
Although the percentage of obese children and adults was essentially unchanged between 2008 and 2010, CDC found, the "F as in Fat" model takes a longer view, explained mathematician Martin Brown of Britain's National Heart Forum, a nonprofit group, who led development of the model.
"You have to take trends over a number of years," he said. "In the age groups that matter, there just isn't much evidence of a leveling off in obesity rates."
As a result, many states projected to have the most obesity in 2030 do now, too. In 2011, 12 states had an adult-obesity rate above 30 percent, with Mississippi the highest at 34.9 percent. Colorado was the lowest at 20.7 percent.
The report projects that in 2030 in Mississippi, 66.7 percent of adults will be obese, as will 44.8 percent in Colorado, which will still be the thinnest state.
More surprising are projections for states such as Delaware, now the 19th-most obese state with a rate of 28.8 percent. The model uses 1999 as a baseline, explained Brown. "So if a state had a low rate of obesity in 1999 and is fairly high now, that indicates a steep rate of increase, which we believe will not go away." Result: an obesity rate of 64.7 percent in Delaware in 2030, making it the third-most obese state.
States facing the greatest percentage increase in obesity-related medical costs are now in the middle of the pack.
New Jersey faces the largest increase in costs, 34.5 percent, as its obesity rate is projected to climb from 23.7 percent today to 48.6 percent in 2030. Eight other states could see increases of 20 percent and 30 percent, including New Hampshire, Colorado and Alaska.
All is not lost, said Levi. "We have learned that with a concerted effort you can change the culture of a community, including its level of physical activity, eating habits, what foods are offered in schools, and whether families eat together," he said.
In New York City, for instance, obesity in grades K-8 dropped 5.5 percent from the 2006-07 school year to 2010-11, thanks mostly to healthier school lunches, public health experts said.
If BMI were reduced by 5 percent - for an adult of average weight, that means losing 11 pounds (5 kg) - in 2030 the obesity rate would not exceed 60 percent in any state, in contrast to the 13 states in the business-as-usual projection.

I've had a very pleasant experience with Ashely from Janda Exotics. She is kind and knowledgeable. I informed her of my previous terrible experience with a different breeder and she was very helpful with giving me all the information I needed. She ships them in a small plastic bin, within an actual pet carrier. She includes an informational care guide, formula mix, a small bag of food to get you started, and a 1cc syringe. I just got my 6.5 week old flyer boy Chewy from her on Sunday. So far I'm having a great experience. He was checked by a vet and is healthy. He is the cutest little thing ever. Although she answers all my questions, it does take her a bit to get back to you. But all in all, a positive experience and I recommend her.
He's a sleepy little boy.

BioWare adopted a (sadly) very special and very principled stance in designing one of their recent games, Dragon Age 2. Their stance was simple: relationships are for everybody, whether gay, straight, or anything else in between. You can also have have more than one romance at a time with the game's characters. In this game, everybody is equal. Too equal, it seems, for one particular straight male gamer who was upset to be on the receiving end of a little flirting from another male character in the game. The reaction of this Straight Male Gamer? – To post a new thread on Bioware's forums to complain…
To quote the complainant;
To summarize, in the case of Dragon Age 2, BioWare neglected their main demographic: The Straight Male Gamer.
I don't think many would argue with the fact that the overwhelming majority of RPG gamers are indeed straight and male. Sure, there are a substantial amount of women who play video games, but they're usually gamers who play games like The Sims, rather than games like Dragon Age. That's not to say there isn't a significant number of women who play Dragon Age and that BioWare should forgo the option of playing as a women altogether, but there should have been much more focus in on making sure us male gamers were happy.
Now immediately I'm sure that some male gamers are going to be like "YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME! I LOVE DRAGON AGE 2!", but you have to understand, the Straight Male Gamer, cannot be just lumped into a single category.
Its ridiculous that I even have to use a term like Straight Male Gamer, when in the past I would only have to say fans, …"
The irony of the complaint is clearly astounding. For those that do not play Dragon Age 2, there is yet a further irony in that the Straight Male Gamer clearly has a huge problem with LGBT people being catered to as well rather than a focus based entirely in Straight Male Gamers (and a little on women too, of course, just as an afterthought). but clearly has no problem with the game allowing inter-species romances between the human player controlled character and an Elf! You couldn't make it up!
The response from BioWare's David Gaider was exactly fit for purpose. In fact, BioWare delivered a sharp lesson to this gamer on the subject of Straight Male privilege! Kudos to BioWare for that! In fact, BioWare's response is quoted here precisely because of how word perfect it truly is! Elements have been emboldened for emphasis.
The romances in the game are not for "the straight male gamer". They're for everyone. We have a lot of fans, many of whom are neither straight nor male, and they deserve no less attention. We have good numbers, after all, on the number of people who actually used similar sorts of content in DAO and thus don't need to resort to anecdotal evidence to support our idea that their numbers are not insignificant… and that's ignoring the idea that they don't have just as much right to play the kind of game they wish as anyone else. The "rights" of anyone with regards to a game are murky at best, but anyone who takes that stance must apply it equally to both the minority as well as the majority. The majority has no inherent "right" to get more options than anyone else.
More than that, I would question anyone deciding they speak for "the straight male gamer" just as much as someone claiming they speak for "all RPG fans", "all female fans" or even "all gay fans". You don't. If you wish to express your personal desires, then do so. I have no doubt that any opinion expressed on these forums is shared by many others, but since none of them have elected a spokesperson you're better off not trying to be one. If your attempt is to convince BioWare developers, I can tell you that you do in fact make your opinion less convincing by doing so.
And if there is any doubt why such an opinion might be met with hostility, it has to do with privilege. You can write it off as "political correctness" if you wish, but the truth is that privilege always lies with the majority. They're so used to being catered to that they see the lack of catering as an imbalance. They don't see anything wrong with having things set up to suit them, what's everyone's fuss all about? That's the way it should be, any everyone else should be used to not getting what they want.
The truth is that making a romance available for both genders is far less costly than creating an entirely new one. Does it create some issues of implementation? Sure– but anything you try on this front is going to have its issues, and inevitably you'll always leave someone out in the cold. In this case, are all straight males left out in the cold? Not at all. There are romances available for them just the same as anyone else. Not all straight males require that their content be exclusive, after all, and you can see that even on this thread.
Would I do it again? I don't know. I doubt I would have Anders make the first move again– at the time, I thought that requiring all romances to have Hawke initiate everything was the unrealistic part. Even if someone decides that this makes everyone "unrealistically" bisexual, however, or they can't handle the idea that the character might be bisexual if they were another PC… I don't see that as a big concern, to be honest. Romances are never one-size-fits-all, and even for those who don't mind the sexuality issue there's no guarantee they'll find a character they even want to romance. That's why romances are optional content. It's such a personal issue that we'll never be able to please everyone. The very best we can do is give everyone a little bit of choice, and that's what we tried here.
And the person who says that the only way to please them is to restrict options for others is, if you ask me, the one who deserves it least. And that's my opinion, expressed as politely as possible.
BioWare, David Gaider,… That, was AWESOME.
It is true that the gaming world is sadly dominated by Straight Male Gamers. Why? Well, perhaps it's precisely because the industry has failed to cater to the rest of society so often. So many of us are geeks, and so many of us are gamers, including women and/or LGBT people… and there is absolutely no reason to exclude them. BioWare, it seems, has realised this, and the least the LGBTQIA community can do in return is to acknowledge this fact – and preferably in a way that makes BioWare aware of how welcome and refreshing this attitude is, and how likely it is to pay dividends for them – literally and metaphorically. With that done, hopefully the other big games developers will do likewise.
Thank you, BioWare, for not giving in to the majority. Thank you for letting us in and recognising our equal 'right' to play games that we can engage and relate with too!
Do you agree? I hope you do… and if you do, please consider sharing this article to spread the word and give BioWare their reward in reputation and kudos for this, frankly, astoundingly awesome move on their part.
(Update: This story has since been updated here.)
(Follow-up: We were fortunate enough to land an interview with Ernest Adams, who talked to us about equality in gaming.)

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Senior Day was an artistic success for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's tennis team in their non-conference match against visiting Worcester State at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Wednesday.
Seniors Becky Bullock (Wrentham, MA/King Phillip Regional HS) and Allison DeAngelis (Milford, MA/Milford HS) combined for a win at number one doubles to lead the Corsairs to a 9-0 victory over the Lancers.
Bullock and DeAngelis defeated Britney Cullen and Albena Xhemollari, 8-4, in a match that saw nine different Corsairs see action.
"Senior Day went well," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Ralph Perry. "Both of them wanted to play first doubles together, and they won, and everyone did a fine job."
UMass Dartmouth improved to 13-1 with the victory, while WSC dropped to 3-6 with the defeat. The Corsairs will host Western Connecticut State in a Little East Conference semi-final match Saturday afternoon. The Lancers will visit Clark next Tuesday.

Welcome back to the big chair Cr Melina Sehr. Fourth time's a charm. No reports on whether ex-Mayor Cr Stubbs cried when handing over the tiara.
It all started in early 2010...
The Orrong Group represents the 99% majority of local residents fighting the towers: 2 x 16 storey, 2 x 15 storey, 2 x 13 storey, 1 x 11 storey, 2 x 9 storey and 2 x 7 storey 1 X 5 storey plus shops townhouses and maintenance buildings.
This development means traffic gridlock, overflowing train stations and tram stops, no more on-street car parking, a blighted skyline and less privacy for current residents. It will also impinge on adjoining public land. It defies the lowrise local residential style.
This development will set a precedent for further development.
This is a rare opportunity for Stonnington to increase open space, develop a school or a stellar medium density residential development. We do not need another Docklands.
Already we know that Toorak Station is within developers' sites. How long before Hawksburn and Armadale are redeveloped?
Stonnington Council - after much campaigning - refused the permit but developer Lend Lease successfully overturned this decision at VCAT. This VCAT decision is in turn being appealed in the Supreme Court in April 2013.
Our opponent is smart, moneyed, experienced and well connected. We won't win this without your help.
Lend Lease has 'consulted' but never compromised. They entirely underestimated our ability to fight their plan.
Reading this is just the beginning - we need you to work with us to fight the towers.

The following post is in partnership with Mirum Agency. Life as a new mother is exciting, but let's be honest, it's also scary, stressful and intimidating. Here we are caring for an itty bitty person we love more than ourselves, and we don't know what to do, it's frightening! But, being a new mom doesn't…
Baby Sleep Safety
Since babies sleep unsupervised, it is vital that their safety be thoroughly considered when putting them to bed. When ensuring your baby's sleep safety, it's important to consider the space she is sleeping in, the environment she is sleeping in and what she is sleeping in. It's also important to be knowledgeable of the precautions you can take to prevent injury or death while your baby is in his sleep area.
10 Things to Know Before Bringing Home a New Baby
I remember those last few weeks of first-time pregnancy like yesterday -- mostly, I was just freaked out. What the heck am I going to DO with a new baby?! I was the first of my friends to start a family and the internet hadn't quite yet exploded with never-ending pregnancy and parenting insight and…
Hair Care for Infants
Even if your baby has little more than peach fuzz covering his head, his hair requires a bit of personal care. Treat your little prince's or little diva's hair to the attention it requires. This will keep your infant looking her cutest, feeling her best and ready for all those close-up pictures that will be taken.
Baby Colic Treatment
A colicky baby can strain even the healthiest relationship. Though it's normal for infants to cry at least part of the day, a baby with colic will cry inconsolably for hours. The reasons for colic are largely unknown, but there are several potential treatments for colic. Experiment with colic treatments until you find the right one for your baby.
Toddler Hair Growth
Some babies are born with luscious locks, while others are born without much hair, if any. Many mothers of bald babies long for the day when they can pick up a brush rather than plunk a hat on their baby's head. They may have to wait quite a while — some babies remain relatively thin on top until well into their toddler months.
When Should You Give a Pacifier to a Baby?
Giving your baby a pacifier is a personal decision. Most experts agree that pacifiers can be helpful during the first six months of life as it satisfies your baby's natural instinct to suck. However, there are no definite guidelines about when to give a pacifier or take one away. Sometimes, it is best to just use your mothering instinct to decide if a pacifier is right for your baby, regardless of his age.
How Many Ounces of Formula Should Infants Drink?
There are so many things to be concerned with when you bring your baby home from the hospital. One of a parent's biggest worries tends to be wondering how much baby needs to eat. Understanding what to expect and how a baby's needs change can help moms and dads to enjoy feeding time, rather than fear it.
Breast Pain After Weaning
If you have been breastfeeding your baby, you are probably in a routine, but you have to stop eventually. If your child is showing signs and you know you are ready to stop breastfeeding, you might find yourself in the same pain you had at the beginning of breastfeeding. Eliminate some of the pain to make this weaning process as easy on you as possible.
Signs of Allergies to Infant Formula
If you introduce infant formula to your baby, you'll probably want to be on the alert for signs of an allergy, especially if allergies run in your–or the baby's father's–family. Most infant formula includes cow's milk or soy products in the ingredients. In cases of infant formula allergies, cow's milk protein is the most common allergen. Still, allergies to formula are not all that common; according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than 3% of babies in the United States have an allergy to milk protein. Since half of the babies who are sensitive to cow's milk protein also turn out to react badly to soy, soy-based formula is not necessarily the solution if your baby does turn out to have a dairy allergy. Check with your baby's physician before switching to a hypoallegenic formula. It may reassure you to know that there's good chance your baby will outgrow an allergy to infant formula within a few years.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Stronger-than-expected industrial output reinforced other signs that China's economy was stabilizing after slowing for more than two years, just as major emerging markets brace for potential fallout from an expected trimming of U.S. stimulus.
Factory output growth hit a 17-month high and retail sales grew at their fastest pace this year in August, increasing confidence that after contracting in nine of the past 10 quarters, the world's second-largest economy may be regaining some momentum.
But any recovery is set to be bumpy. China's leaders have made it clear they can accept slower growth as they try to wean the economy off a dependence on investment and exports in favor of domestic consumption.
And investors are worried about how emerging economies will fare when the U.S. Federal Reserve tapers its monetary stimulus, possibly as soon as next week, although analysts say China is better positioned than others to cope with capital outflows.
"The better-than-expected figures showed the recovering momentum of China's economy is stronger than market expectations," Li Huiyong, an economist at Shenyin & Wanguo Securities in Shanghai.
The government has set a growth target for 2013 of 7.5 percent, which would be the weakest in more than two decades.
As recently as a month ago, investors worried China could miss even that target, after domestic money markets were hit by an unprecedented cash crunch and annual growth slowed to 7.5 percent in the June quarter.
Since mid-year, a series of targeted steps by authorities, including quickening railway investment and public housing construction and introducing policies to help smaller companies, have built confidence, and data signals have been more positive.
Figures out earlier this month have shown robust exports and benign inflation in August, as well as signs of recovery in the manufacturing sector.
Shenyin & Wanguo's Li expects growth to pick up to 7.6 percent in the third quarter, and analysts at ANZ forecast full-year growth of 7.6 percent, just ahead of the government target.
Tuesday's data underpinned market optimism, with the CSI300 Index .CSI300 of top Shanghai and Shenzhen listings extending gains to 1.4 percent from 0.4 percent before the data's release, to post its highest close in three months.
Factory output jumped 10.4 percent in August from a year earlier, accelerating from 9.7 percent in July, to post its biggest increase since March 2012, the National Bureau of Statistics said.
And retail sales rose an annual 13.4 percent in August, their fastest growth this year, while the annual pace of fixed asset investment picked up slightly to 20.3 percent in the first eight months of 2013.
Central bank figures showed new bank loans of 711.3 billion yuan ($116.2 billion) in August, higher than a forecast of 700 billion yuan in a Reuters poll and a further sign of confidence.
The central bank also said total social financing aggregate, a broad measure of liquidity, nearly doubled to 1.57 trillion yuan in August from 808.8 billion yuan the month before.
"The money and credit figures pointed to positive signs emerging in the economy and partially helped explain the strong recovery in economic activity," said Jiang Chao, analyst at Haitong Securities in Shanghai.
"It seems companies are rushing to get new financing, regardless of still-high money market rates right now, which indicates that sentiment over the economy is improving."
But growth in property investment slowed to 19.3 percent in the first eight months from a 20.5 percent pace in January-July, and the rise in revenues from property sales eased to 34.4 percent from 37.8 percent.
Analysts caution about expecting a sharp turnaround in the economy, given the risks from the Fed's tapering and China's efforts to press ahead with structural changes.
Authorities want to deal with widespread factory overcapacity, a decline of productivity as well as environmental and resource constraints. And they have refrained from broad stimulus measures, fearing that could push up local government debt and create housing market bubbles.
"Overall, the development in the Chinese economy is, just as we expected, moving towards a cyclical and temporary recovery. We are likely to see growth stabilizing in the remaining two quarters and overall growth at 7.5 percent," said Amy Zhuang, senior analyst with Nordea Markets in Copenhagen.
"After that growth may gradually decline as Beijing is actively pursuing a lower growth in order to push through structural reforms."

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said last week that there were going to be changes to the team this offseason and reports indicate that the first one has been made.
Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that running backs coach Skip Peete has been relieved of his duties. Peete had been with the Cowboys since 2007 and, per Hill, was surprised by the move.
The reason for his surprise is that starting running back DeMarco Murray missed a big chunk of the season with a foot injury, the second straight year that Murray was sidelined by injury, and that the offensive line performed poorly all season. That contributed to a team record for the fewest rushing yards in a 16-game season and an observation from Garrett during his postmortem on the season that the team needed to be more effective running the ball.
Jones promised to make things "uncomfortable" around the organization. Peete's departure might be making other assistants a little tenser, but the changes will have to keep coming for the Cowboys to show serious improvement come next season.

NEW YORK - Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan will be CNN's anchor team for a new morning show that will begin later this spring.
Cuomo joined CNN from ABC earlier this year specifically to do the morning show. Bolduan has covered Congress for CNN and been co-host with Wolf Blitzer of "The Situation Room" in the late afternoon.
Michaela Pereira will be the show's news anchor, joining CNN from a local television station in Los Angeles.
The morning show has an experienced executive team behind it.
CNN's new boss, Jeff Zucker, made his name as executive producer of NBC's "Today" show in the 1990s. The senior producer behind CNN's new unnamed show is Jim Murphy, who was executive producer of ABC's "Good Morning America" from 2006 to 2011.
