From the moment parents greet their newborn, they watch the baby's progress eagerly, anticipating every inch of growth and each new developmental milestone along the way. But how can they tell if their child is growing properly?
Physical growth refers to the increases in height and weight and other body changes that occur as a child matures. Hair grows; teeth come in, come out, and come in again; and eventually puberty hits. It's all part of the growth process.
The first year of life is a time of astonishing change during which babies, on average, grow 10 inches (25 centimeters) in length and triple their birth weights.
Given all the growth that occurs then, new parents might be surprised when their child doesn't continue to grow through the roof after the first year. But no child continues the rate of growth experienced during infancy. After age 1, a baby's growth in length slows considerably, and by 2 years, growth in height usually continues at a fairly steady rate of approximately 21/2 inches (6 centimeters) per year until adolescence.
No child grows at a perfectly steady rate throughout this period of childhood, however. Weeks or months of slightly slower growth alternate with mini "growth spurts" in most children. Kids actually tend to grow a bit faster in the spring than during other times of the year!
A major growth spurt occurs at the time of puberty, usually between age 8 to 13 years in girls and 10 to 15 years in boys. Puberty lasts about 2 to 5 years. This growth spurt is associated with sexual development, which includes the appearance of pubic and underarm hair, the growth and development of sex organs, and in girls, the onset of menstruation.
By the time girls reach age 15 and boys reach age 16 or 17, the growth associated with puberty will have ended for most and they will have reached physical maturity.
Beginning in infancy, kids will visit a doctor for regular checkups, during which the doctor will record height and weight as they compare with that of other kids the same age on a growth chart. This valuable tool can help the doctor determine whether a child is growing at an appropriate rate or whether there might be problems.
You can do a few things to help ensure that your child grows and develops normally. Critical to kids' overall health and wellness are:
Kids differ in growth and development during childhood — just like adults, some kids are taller or shorter. Generally, girls hit puberty earlier than boys, although some girls might lag behind their peers in breast development and the onset of menstruation. All of this is usually completely normal.
Try to avoid comparing growth among siblings or other children. Drawing attention to height, for example, will only make kids feel self-conscious about their size. Encourage your kids to accept their own growth and development. Explain that some kids grow and develop at different rates — and late bloomers usually catch up eventually.
Kids have many questions about growth, from why their teeth fall out to difficult or potentially embarrassing topics like breast development or perspiration. Answer questions honestly and even initiate conversations about growth to help kids understand the many changes they're facing. This will help them accept the changes positively.
If you're uncomfortable discussing these topics, your kids may interpret that to mean there's something shameful about the changes they go through and they may be less likely to bring their concerns to you.
Kids who are short often face teasing by peers and may need help coping. You can help by supporting your child's self-esteem. For example, although it might be difficult for a small boy to make the football team, emphasizing alternatives, such as soccer or tennis, may make him feel better about himself and what he can do. A small teen might have concerns about dating, driving, and participating in sports. It's important to try to understand your child's feelings and to keep the lines of communication open.
Another way to boost your child's mood is to encourage activities that don't focus on height or weight. Emphasize special talents or individual qualities, such as musical aptitude or a love of literature.
Some parents worry about their child's growth and development, but it can be reassuring to know that most kids who are short or delayed in development are healthy and normal. For example, shorter parents tend to have shorter children and not all kids develop at the same rate.
If you have concerns, the first step is to consult your doctor, who can thoroughly evaluate your child and your family history and, if necessary, order tests to see if there's a medical condition affecting growth. The doctor may choose to monitor your child's growth more frequently on a growth chart or refer your child to a pediatric endocrinologist (a doctor specializing in growth disorders) for further evaluation.

That said – my entire blog here is under a Creative Commons Attribute/Share Alike license – so know that I both want and encourage everyone to download, share, modify, and have fun with my work!
I also want to reiterate what I've stated in the past since I can't make it an exception within the license: I do not want my name (given or business) on my minimalist art. It sort of ruins the clean lines and elegance. Just don't tell people that you're the creator – I'm fine with you crediting it to "an awesome Punk Rock Book Jockey blogger" if you can't recall either of my names. Or write by Hafuboti on the back in pencil if you're worried about it. Seriously. Have fun.

Yesterday it was announced that Lockheed Martin would be responsible for building the vehicle that will be pivotal in once again landing Americans back on the moon. The Orion CEV contract is worth an estimated $4 billion USD. The Orion CEV will not only be responsible for transporting astronauts to the moon, but in earlier missions it will serve as a Space Shuttle successor transporting up to six crew members to and from the International Space Station. Only a crew of four is possible for lunar missions. "We are humbled and excited as we continue our legacy of five decades of partnership with NASA in every aspect of human and robotic space exploration. Work already is underway and we are fully focused on the vital tasks that lie ahead to meet NASA's requirements for the program. We have a world-class team of highly dedicated, highly experienced women and men who are passionate about the success of NASA's missions," Joanne Maguire, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. The Orion CEV is designed to be not only much safer than previous manned space vehicles, but it will also be more efficient, more reliable and more affordable as well. NASA hopes to have the new crew vehicle operational by 2014 with manned missions to the moon taking place before 2020. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quickies: KDE e.V. Presidential Address, KHTML and WebKit, Qt4 Book, KDE4 on Mac Visuals
A number of KDE related news stories are floating about the interweb today, so here's a quick round-up. Aaron Seigo writes his KDE e.V. Presidential Address on his blog in an effort to force the e.V. to be more transparent about their activities. Over at Ars Technica, I have an article talking about the future of KHTML and WebKit: you'll be happy to know that this seems to no longer be a real problem. Daniel Molkentin has published a new book on coding for Qt 4.x which is now available for ordering at qt4-book.com. Lastly, I've stumbled across a short visual tutorial for those Mac OS X users among us that are looking to help test the KDE/Mac snapshots. Of course you can always go over to TechBase for the build instructions if you have some CPU cycles to spare.
KHTML and Webkit
Call me stupid, but I didn't really get the news about KHTML and Webkit.
Sooo...have they merged or what? When will KHTML get abandoned? If it won't, why not? Where do the SVN commits go to? You guys have your own Webkit tree?
Questions over questions...
By fish at Mon, 2007/07/23 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
Not a KHTML/webkit dev, but afaik several of the dev's are working with apple in the Webkit tree. Some things from KHTML are being ported over to Webkit. Most developers will abandon KHTML and work on Webkit, but it's a KDE 4.x thing I think. Of course, if Webkit becomes part of Qt 4.4, they can use that I guess.
I said Most dev's will abandon KHTML, as last time I checked not all supported the move. This might have changed now.
By jospoortvliet-f... at Mon, 2007/07/23 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
"Sooo...have they merged or what?"
Many parts have merged. Some things (like the article mentioned) have yet to merge and may not merge.
"When will KHTML get abandoned?"
Might be obvious, but when the last developer interested in it stops committing I guess.
"Where do the SVN commits go to?"
New commits go here: http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html
"You guys have your own Webkit tree?"
Trolltech and KDE developers have our own platform target for WebKit. That platform target lives in WebKit SVN just like Apple's platform target and Nokia's platform target. They are all actively developed in WebKit's svn.
What has happened is that many KDE developers and Trolltech developers have decided to start working on WebKit proper. Qt will be including WebKit in an upcoming release and there will be a KDE KPart which will allow Konqueror to use the very same WebKit rendering engine that the Safari browser uses.

Re: KHTML and Webkit
Did any of these people contribute anything to KHTML in the last 3 years or so? No (well, Rob and Niko did KSVG2 stuff, and George did stuff relevant to... merging with Apple). So how would they count? And even more so, one has to consider that a lot of them are done as subject to commercial contracts, and, as such, should IMHO not even be done with @kde.org addresses.

My point is that there are 2 things that have actually happened:
1. Some corporations and contractors somewhat involved in KDE, such as
2. Some of those people got together with some of the KHTML contributors

Re: KHTML and Webkit

By manyoso at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
Developers join the KDE project and leave it again all the time. Only ones that that count are those currently willing to invest some of their time. Not much room for nostalgia here.
I won't even mention has-KDE4-compiled-and-running as a criteria as that would rule out far too many ;)
By Harri at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
i think it's disingenuous to rule someone out because they start contributing again but to a related project that is still qt/kde related. in my books, working on a qt port and a kde kpart for webkit is worthy of not being dismissed.
i also think it's pretty unfair to those who are certainly active kde developers working on this stuff to ignore them in these dismissals. finally, to paint those have managed to find a way to support themselves working on things close to their interests as somehow innately untrustworthy because of it is pretty lame.
i'd also suggest that khtml and qtwebkit are in need of soft skills that many of the developers involved lack. chasing away those who can bring those to the table, particularly after they were invited in the first place, is not what i'd call big picture thinking. =)
i think that pretty much sums up what i think of the dismissive and generally negative attitudes some cast upon the idea of qtwebkit.
By Aaron Seigo at Wed, 2007/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
Maybe the negatives come from remembering how much fun it was to work on khtml before Apple did what they did.
I actually wrote a blog titled "How to Destroy a Free Software Project" based on the khtml saga. I deleted it to not hurt the people involved. I really don't want to discourage anyone. This is a mess, years have been lost, and the choices are between bad and worse. I guess the most difficult is coming to grips with the idea that a fundamental building block of the KDE desktop is now under someone else' control, someone who's interests are that KDE not exist.
I feel strongly that KDE has left itself wide open to irrelevance by thinking in this instance product not process. KDE wouldn't exist but for the process. I acknowledge my own contribution when I excitedly highlighted the patches coming from the safari codebase. It became clear that I was misled when the khtml developers either quit or only stayed on due to massive intestinal fortitude.
Didn't Webkit as a process arise from Nokia and others wanting to work with Apple? (Gee, that made the IPhone browser alot easier didn't it) I suspect that they insisted on an appropriate process before getting involved. Somehow we (KDE) just went along. I think we got suckered. Back 3,4 years ago it should have been recognized for what it was, a hostile fork.
By D Kite at Sat, 2007/07/28 - 5:00am
Re: KHTML and Webkit
You know, all (trademarked term) what happened, was that fame was being taken away from individual developers for their code. Like when they passed ACID test already, and KHTML didn't yet, and everybody said "why don't you just take it from Apple".
I can imagine this has hurt those developers and deprived them of their motivation to work on that specific project. But I am at the same time very glad, that the influx of manpower into the rendering engine has happened and the potential has not been waisted.
If you or anybody envy Apple or Nokia or whoever for earning money from the LGPL code, I am afraid, you didn't understand why the LGPL type of license is chosen by KDE in the first place.
And now it's happy end. A consortium of companies will in cooperation maintain the web rendering engine and make it the best suited one. They have different toolkits for which they implement backends (QT -> KDE from Trolltech, GTK from Nokia, Cocoa(?) from Apple) and that will push the quality of the abstraction to a new level.
And KDE simply can stop working on it itself, for all boring stuff, and concentrate on e.g. Plasma. And how is that not a great thing please? You can't even start to imagine how much more me Konqueror-Browser user loves to see Epiphany use Webkit (well possible now), instead of Konqueror-Browser using Gecko (still near impossible to be done right).

Re: KHTML and Webkit
This is open source; focused development is rare :) There are people putting effort in the better fork and there are people still afraid of change that are working on KHTML original.
Its only fair to point this out, and its not hard to see that the most compliant and most developed-in tree will naturally be picked up by distros and end users.
That's the situation (as the article already said). You make your own conclusions :-)

WYSIWYG Editing is one of those things that is really missing in KDE.
By Emil Sedgh at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: WYSIWYG
it's in webkit, though QtWebKit doesn't implement the widgets for it yet so you still can't see them in QtWebKit. the underlying bits are there, however. so this would be one of the advantages that would come with a completed QtWebKit.
By Aaron Seigo at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: WYSIWYG
Will QT be able to base its old HTML implementation on QtWebKit, BTW?
And if QT 4.4 contains QtWebKit, probably KDE 4.0.0 should require it, so this sort of cleanup can happen as soon as possible?

Not sure if my question is relevant to this topic. I am a daily user of quanta plus.

The only better solution I think available to Linux user is quanta plus. I would like to know the status of this cool software. Thanks

In fact, after a quick build of kdevplatform and kwebdev, I can tell you that Quanta... exists. And runs. But doesn't produce much in the way of a useful interface when it does run.
But, like I said, I believe the intention is to release it with 4.1.

By Andras Mantia at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: Any news about kdewebdev?
There have been a number of issues with kdewebdev. For one, using a common framework with KDevelop has meant we need that in place, and we've had to wait for KDE libraries to stabilize... Then there are the obvious questions about whether we will have an adequate framework for visual development in place, which has long been a question of what is happening with Webkit. In addition to this I have been buried in taking my business from seasonal swings to a dynamic expansion so I can allocate effort without jumping up to put out fires.
While we do have some volunteer development most of our development is sponsored. Currently we have no developer working on VPL (a DTD accurate WYSIWYG alternative) and have totally burned out two volunteer developers due to the sheer difficulty of the task. The irony is that we have a huge user base and maybe two dozen sponsors. 50-100 sponsors at "lunch money" level contributions would empower us to have several developers full time on this. The efficiency is orders of magnitude higher when a developer works without interruption. I encourage our supporters to go to http://kdewebdev.org/donate.php.

Qt 4 Book
Congratulations to Daniel for another Qt 4 book, this time in English.
Unfortunately I will have to wait for a year before these books will be available locally, which is how long it took for two other Qt 4 books (C++ GUI programming and Introduction to Design Patterns) to be available. Hopefully I'll get my copy next month. Yay!

Re: no need to agree
The GPL it's a license like any other one, and like any other one you can disagree with it and refuse it (I'm just saying you can, not that you should do that ;) ). And like any other license you have to be aware of it, so yes, the installer question about the license is needed.
By Pino Toscano at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
No it's not, and refusing the GPL means you are not allowed to distribute the application. It has no effect on using it.
By Allan Sandfeld at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
I'm not a lawyer but I suspect that almost every EULA out there is about distributing (well, about NOT distributing ;) the software you're installing.
By Vide at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
No, that's not the case. EULAs typically also contain language on how you are allowed to use the software. E.g. the BitKeeper license contains a clause saying that you may not reverse engineer the code. There are also frequently clauses saying that you are not even allowed to modify the program files on your own computer. The GPL has none of these restrictions; there are no limitations at all on how you may _use_ the software.
By Jos at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
There are some details you are mixing up;
The part I guess you are confusing it with is changes you make to it have to be made public, but only if you actually distribute your version. But this distribution thing has nothing to do with usage and acceptance of the license.

That's not true, in fact it explicitly says the opposite!

Version 3 makes this even more clear:

Re: no need to agree
> according to the GPL text; as soon as you use the software you are bound by the license
As Kevin already pointed out, this is the exact opposite of the truth.
> if you don't accept it you can't use it
In the USA, even if a license explicitly forbade you from using it in any circumstances at all, you would still have the right to use it, because copyright does not give somebody the right to stop you. Copying software to your hard drive during installation and copying software into memory in order to execute it are not covered by copyright.

Re: no need to agree
Not sure I got your explanation, but your statement is true.
By blacksheep at Wed, 2007/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
At least you must agree to the "NO WARRANTY" section (11. and 12. of GPL V2).
In case I'm a private person offering something on the Internet, everyone should be clear right from the beginning that I'm not giving any WARRANTY.
But in case companies like Apple offer something on the Internet, I at least can have the impression that it doesn't ruin my computer, deletes file, burn the neighbours dog or start another worldwar.
Such warranty is not given here and I understand that Apple or any other company needs to have this signed.
By Philipp at Wed, 2007/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
Where's the legal backing for what you are saying?
If you do want to state that, just state it. Say "KDE libraries will be installed. Bla, bla, bla. This software comes with no warranty. [Next]" That is not a condition to use the software, so it's stupid to force the user to accept it.
Anyway, this thread is about having the GPL to be accepted as an EULA contract.
By fast penguin at Wed, 2007/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: no need to agree
From the GPL FAQ at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ClickThrough
"Q: Can software installers ask people to click to agree to the GPL? If I get some software under the GPL, do I have to agree to anything?
"A: Some software packaging systems have a place which requires you to click through or otherwise indicate assent to the terms of the GPL. This is neither required nor forbidden. With or without a click through, the GPL's rules remain the same.

KHTML is in Windows
KHTML / Konqueror rules. It feels so much better already on Linux than Firefox. Maybe Webkit will give Linux the speed of KHTML, with the reliability of Firefox.
I just got KHTML running on Windows:

Whats the big difference between Webkit and KHTML?
I know that Webkit is still similar to khtml, but I don't know whats happened besides Apple taking qt rendering out of it. I am excited to see four large groups (Trolltech, Apple, Nokia, and KDE) working on a single layout engine. While I don't think its really fair that Apple secretly forked the components that make up Webkit (khtml, kjs, ksvg I think). It would be a good thing for KDE to jump in the boat with everybody else. Such an amount of collaboration could really help create an excellent engine for unix-like desktops. If I'm not on Linux I use Firefox, but Konqueror will always be my favorite browser.
By Eric at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
It might just be me, but I think the "We are going to WebKit" news deserves it's own story, not a minor mention in a quickies summary.
By Tim at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: Quickie?
As I said before, it deserves neither, as it's woefully inaccurate.

Re: Quickie?
I couldn't agree more and I had the very same feeling when I read that article (therefore my question at the very beginning) - this news is no news at all and should never have been made public. I will only result in ever more rumours about KHTML and Webkit...sigh.
By fish at Tue, 2007/07/24 - 5:00am
Re: Quickie?
you saying its inaccurate doesn't magically make it inaccurate. you may not agree with it, you may not like it ... but it's a whole lot more accurate than you seem to be willing to accept. perhaps that's something to think about.

By SadEagle at Wed, 2007/07/25 - 5:00am
Re: Quickie?
> You keep making all those
here's what i know:
- people (some with and some without a profit motive, but all with a pro-kde viewpoint in life) are working on qtwebkit and a kpart for it
the above is precisely what i've been saying. when someone asks me "has a decision been made?" or "is webkit replacing khtml?" i tell them honestly: it's not been decided yet and there's much to happen before that can happen. you can look over irc logs from yesterday in #kde-devel if you want to confirm that.
now i'm not sure which part over the points aboveyou feel are inaccurate, but to me it seems fairly obvious that if qtwebkit is successful, it will be a good thing (you seem to agree on that) and our users will pick qtwebkit over khtml if they are even remotely comparable. there is serious commitment to making that happen and huge strides forward. the most serious threat to success is stop energy from within.
so ... why am i involved in this at all given that i am not a major contributor to khtml and that it allows me to deal with wonderfully negative retorts? because i was asked to by people who are involved with khtml and webkit. i accepted because this promises to have a huge impact on kde as a whole, something i happen to have a personal interest in. it's not lost on me that the campaign for silence on these matters is a great way to undermine those efforts. you can accuse me of whatever you wish, but i know where i stand, what is actually gong on and i will be sticking to that.
if there are people wish work on khtml as a separate code base from here to eternity, that's obviously perfectly fine; it also doesn't change what happens with webkit. but denying the existence and implications of qtwebkit and the people who are putting their time and effort into it (which happens to include people who did small things like, you know, start the khtml project in the first place) is not what i'd describe as charitable.

ROCKFORD — As usual, the Rockford IceHogs fell behind at home.
And, once again, they came back.
Only this time, after erasing a three-goal deficit, they couldn't match the Charlotte Checkers' next goal Halloween Night. Thus, the 'Hogs lost for the first time at BMO Harris Bank Center this season in four tries, 5-3 before a turnout of 5,936.
Down 3-0, 'Hogs head coach Ted Dent's mindset was "not happy, but there's still lots of game left."
"Yeah, the guys fought back, which is great. But we have to learn sometimes you're not going to be able to fight back all the way every game."
So, with so much practice at coming back, Dent knows what he'd like to see going forward.
"You're going to have to play the way we play when we're down," he said. "We're going to have to play like that in the first period when it's a tie score. We have to play with that urgency and desperation."
Hopes of another late rush to victory began creeping in when Garret Ross got Rockford on the board at 14:22 of the second period. That cut the deficit to 3-1.
Then, Mark McNeill popped in his team-leading sixth goal at 4:00 of the third. Jimmy Hayes tied it 3-3 at 5:28 and the comeback was on.
"We've been down a lot this year, so I knew we were not out of this game," Hayes said. "It was good to tie it, but we've got to get a lead."
Rockford (7-3-1-0) was even for only 2 minutes, 12 seconds. That's when Charlotte's Aaron Palushaj sailed the puck over Antti Raanta's left shoulder on a tough angle shot from the left side at 7:40.
Rockford's efforts later were hampered by a five-minute interference major on Brad Winchester with only 4:36 left. Nicolas Blanchard found an empty net at 19:58 as the 'Hogs were trying to tie it with Raanta pulled for the final 1:39.
The 'Hogs were on a 5-0-1-0 roll, including three straight wins, and were trying to extend their AHL best-ever start of 7-2-1-0. Charlotte improved to 5-3-0-1.
"We played a pretty good first 10 minutes," Dent said. "We got some good zone time. But then we got frustrated a little bit and took some undisciplined penalties. Then they got a couple shots, some tips, with their guys going to the net. So give them credit for that."

Branding is the most essential factor for me as I observed that the companies I was working with invested more time in other things than the most important factor of branding. I was facing many problems in deciding the right business name for the services I wanted to offer to my client. One day I was surfing the Internet and found Brandnic.com, as they offered multiple name options for my business name. The support team is fantastic and helped me in finalizing my domain name and the logo. Overall, I had a good experience with the Brandnic people to get the best domain name for my business
Timothy J.
I was looking for the online domain name for the first time. It was a great experience with Brandnic, as I got the super business name for my company. It made the whole process simple and efficient. I got the domain, the business name and the logo in the first time. It took me around 15 minutes to get the name of my dream. The support was very helpful in this regard. I recommend this service to all the business owners who are looking for their domain name. Thank you so much.
Joshua T.
I was referred by my office colleague who planned to start his own business as we both work in a IT company and we was thinking to start a company but not get a chance to think of a perfect name... Later we found Brandnic and we both searched and found the name of our choices, we ordered and Brandnic staff helped us to get the whole transfer process done and we got the possession of a domain name in our control, they also sent us the Adobe source file for the logo which we loved and now we refer these people to our other colleagues too.
I wish they have a system where we can make money on the referral as we know many people who wanted to start or wanted to change the current business name and choose a nice one for their existence business.
Suleiman M.
I found this website thru google and at first I was unsure what to do as I loved many names and wanted to re-brand my Solar panel business in Chicago so I found few names and asked my wife to help me and we found a perfect name and ordered from Brandnic, they helped us to transfer the name to us and we got immediately the logo for the business, I must say that these people there are awesome!! Perfecto!!!
Anthony C.
We decided to rebrand our services and for this we changed our value preposition as well as the services. Therefore we also wanted to change our domain name. After working with the experienced personals, we worked on the values, the theme and the vibe wanted for our company, but the work on the domain name is still pending. We consulted with the support of Brandnic with the clear vision, mission and the offering. After that, they supported us in finding the best domain name for the company as well as the Logo. Thank you so much Brandnic.
Sarah C.
I was confuse which name to choose which is easy to be conveyed over the phone and over the counter and I found Brandnic and it became very easy for me .. in fact got many choices and I asked my husband the name and we both finalized the name together on Brandnic.com

Mike Lupica, NYDN:
They booed Alex Rodriguez Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium on what was supposed to be the first big night of the rest of the season, booed him as loudly as they have lately, booed him maybe as loudly as they ever have. ... they booed him as if he were Jonathan Papelbon or Kevin Youkilis or even Manny Ramirez, in absentia. They booed A-Rod Tuesday night like he was Boston. ...Tyler Kepner, Times:
He carried the Yankees for one first-round series in 2004 against the Twins and has never done it again when the games matter the most.
Now he has numbers with runners in scoring position that are as pleasant to read as a ransom note. the Yankees have not had a worse loss this season.
It is late August, the Boston Red Sox are in town, and a poor showing by the gurgling Yankees could sink their playoff hopes. This may be the closest the Yankees get to the postseason, and Alex Rodriguez is in October form.Kat O'Brien, Newsday:
Rodriguez went 0 for 5 with two double plays, two strikeouts and a throwing error ... The Yankees are 11-12 in August, and Rodriguez has grounded into nine double plays in the month while hitting .238.
The Yankees talked big about the importance of these games against the Red Sox to their playoff aspirations. But they whiffed on the field in a 7-3 loss to the Red Sox last night. ... The Yankees choked on most of their numerous opportunities and fell six games behind the Red Sox in the wild- card chase.Ken Davidoff, Newsday:
We often talk about the game finding a particular player. But last night, it felt like this whole 2008 Yankees season hoisted itself from its hammock and staggered around, tossing aside empty whiskey bottles and half-eaten bags of Cheetos, until it tracked down Alex Rodriguez. ...Joel Sherman, Post:
A-Rod doesn't deserve the most blame for this playoff-free Yankees season, not with the overall numbers he has tallied. But last night, in the season's most important game, the $275-million man earned the scorn of Yankee Stadium like he rarely has before. ... And at this moment of the season, with perhaps their last real chance down the toilet, it feels justified.
We will remember Rodriguez dallied with Boston, didn't go there, came to the Yankees instead in 2004, and in his time here the nature of the Red Sox-Yankee rivalry has reversed to Red Sox champs, Yankees chumps. Rodriguez is the face of that historic flip-flop. He has bought into that role twice now, first when he forced his trade here, then last offseason when he accepted the largest financial package ever to return through the backdoor. ...George A. King III, Post:
He produced seven outs in five at-bats, stranded seven runners and made an error in the field. He played his worst in the Yanks' biggest game. ... The Yankee season is going extinct. Rodriguez is the face of the failure.
"We are digging ourselves a big trench to climb out of," Damon said.
That's not a trench already dug. It's a grave. Shortly, the coffins will be shut and the room-temperature bodies will be lowered into the ground.
Kevin Kernan, Post:
In a way, it's better for the Yankees that it ends this way. There is no more false hope, and the road to the future is clearly marked. ...John Harper, NYDN:
Big Game Andy is no more. Big Game Yankees are history, too. ... Watching the Red Sox you get the feeling that their players will do anything to win. ...[T]his Yankees team is not a warrior team.
[L]et's be honest, Pettitte is starting to look like just another Yankee who is a little too old, a little too past his prime to recapture the glory days. ...
[T]hey're now counting on Sidney Ponson to save their season tonight ...

With little fanfare, Oracle released Java EE 7 last week. This is the most recent release of the enterprise bundle of services you might recall as J2EE. It has come a long way from its early days as an oversized, tangled hairball. Today, it is a slimmed-down, redesigned, responsive, and more usable product than it's ever been. The question, though, is whether anyone cares.

You might recall that enterprise-scale, server-side Java was a technology designed in anticipation of need, rather than in response to it. It was a committee's solution for the expected demand for executing business logic on a server that was both serving Web pages and pushing completed transactions to a relational database. The design was a considerably over-architected solution that bundled every kind of possibly needed service down to e-mail in one massive package. At the center was the container, a sort of execution playground in which enterprise Java beans (EJBs) components unrelated to their namesake Java beans would execute business logic. In addition to being difficult critters to program, the beans were designed more for remote invocation than direct calls. Both aspects led to considerable dissatisfaction with server-side Java, although there was an emerging agreement that the technology did scale well enough to handle huge workloads.
On the strength of scalability and acceptable performance, Java became the default enterprise server a less-expensive alternative to mainframes and superior to the still-evolving .NET ecosystem. But it was tied to the proposition that its programming was complex, difficult to get right, and generally unpleasant. This situation invited alternatives. I recall many conversations during that time wondering why a given site could not simply use a lightweight server such as Tomcat and use JDBC for persistence on the back end? For many sites, that would have been good enough and quite a bit easier to program. A mid-range alternative appeared in the Spring framework, which has slowly become the de facto way to write server apps in Java particularly for projects below enterprise scale.
In perhaps one of the finest examples of open-source alternatives influencing a (then) closed-source predecessor, Spring's approach, which consisted of plain Java objects wired together by dependency injection, became a model for simplifying EJBs. The imprint of these ideas was first evident in EJB 3.0, released in 2006.
The Hollywood ending at this point would be that Spring then went on to triumphantly take over the entire Java enterprise space. But, in fact, it didn't. It simply coexisted, in part because Sun, then Oracle, began revving the technology regularly. In 2009, a lighter version of the container was released and more-nimble EJBs EJB 3.1 Lite debuted. That same year, Spring Source, the company behind Spring, was acquired by VMware an unlikely owner. Spring Source has been an odd fit with VMware, which has never articulated its rationale for the purchase or how it aligns with the company's overarching goals. It was no surprise to see Spring spun off earlier this year with several other developer properties and database products into Pivotal. It would be fair to say that VMware did not put a lot of muscle behind Spring's development during the past four years. This gave the entrenched Java EE players Oracle, IBM, and Red Hat the time to continue tending to the product and refining it. Java EE 7 is the latest effort. It is, for most intents, an incremental upgrade. Perhaps the most notable change is a whole new API for the Java Message Service (JMS), which sorely needed a less-complicated programming model. It seemed clear at the announcement that the important release will be Java EE 8, which will provide new APIs to support cloud infrastructure and further tidy up the existing APIs and services.
If Java EE continues to add new features and simplify existing ones, it will surely remain comfortably ensconced in its present sites. And it could well shed the image of excessive heaviness. It's still hard to tell, but the vectors are pointing in the right direction.

Our bodies get the energy they need from food through metabolism, the chemical reactions in the body's cells that convert the fuel from food into the energy needed to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time — all regulated by the body — to keep our cells healthy and working.
Metabolism (meh-TAB-uh-liz-um) is a constant process that begins when we're conceived and ends when we die. It is a vital process for all life forms — not just humans. If metabolism stops, a living thing dies.
Here's an example of how the process of metabolism works in humans — and it begins with plants. First, a green plant takes in energy from sunlight. The plant uses this energy and the molecule chlorophyll (which gives plants their green color) to build sugars from water and carbon dioxide in a process known as photosynthesis.
When people and animals eat the plants (or, if they're carnivores, when they eat animals that have eaten the plants), they take in this energy (in the form of sugar), along with other vital cell-building chemicals.
The body's next step is to break the sugar down so that the energy released can be distributed to, and used as fuel by, the body's cells.
After food is eaten, molecules in the digestive system called enzymes break proteins down into amino acids, fats into fatty acids, and carbohydrates into simple sugars (for example, glucose). In addition to sugar, both amino acids and fatty acids can be used as energy sources by the body when needed. These compounds are absorbed into the blood, which transports them to the cells.
After they enter the cells, other enzymes act to speed up or regulate the chemical reactions involved with "metabolizing" these compounds. During these processes, the energy from these compounds can be released for use by the body or stored in body tissues, especially the liver, muscles, and body fat.
In this way, the process of metabolism is really a balancing act involving two kinds of activities that go on at the same time — the building up of body tissues and energy stores and the breaking down of body tissues and energy stores to generate more fuel for body functions:
Several of the hormones of the endocrine system are involved in controlling the rate and direction of metabolism. Thyroxine, a hormone produced and released by the thyroid gland, plays a key role in determining how fast or slow the chemical reactions of metabolism proceed in a person's body.
Another gland, the pancreas secretes hormones that help determine whether the body's main metabolic activity at a particular time will be anabolic or catabolic. For example, after eating a meal, usually more anabolic activity happens because eating increases the level of glucose — the body's most important fuel — in the blood. The pancreas senses this increased level of glucose and releases the hormone insulin, which signals cells to increase their anabolic activities.
Metabolism is a complicated chemical process, so it's not surprising that many people think of it in its simplest sense: as something that influences how easily our bodies gain or lose weight. That's where calories come in. A calorie is a unit that measures how much energy a particular food provides to the body. A chocolate bar has more calories than an apple, so it provides the body with more energy — and sometimes that can be too much of a good thing. Just as a car stores gas in the gas tank until it is needed to fuel the engine, the body stores calories — primarily as fat. If you overfill a car's gas tank, it spills over onto the pavement. Likewise, if a person eats too many calories, they "spill over" in the form of excess body fat.
The number of calories someone burns in a day is affected by how much that person exercises, the amount of fat and muscle in his or her body, and the person's basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is a measure of the rate at which a person's body "burns" energy, in the form of calories, while at rest.
The BMR can play a role in a person's tendency to gain weight. For example, someone with a low BMR (who therefore burns fewer calories while at rest or sleeping) will tend to gain more pounds of body fat over time than a similar-sized person with an average BMR who eats the same amount of food and gets the same amount of exercise.
To a certain extent, BMR is inherited. Sometimes health problems can affect BMR, but people can change their BMR in certain ways. For example, exercising more not only will cause someone to burn more calories directly from the extra activity itself, but becoming more physically fit will increase BMR as well.
BMR is also influenced by body composition — people with more muscle and less fat generally have higher BMRs.
In a broad sense, a metabolic disorder is any disease that is caused by an abnormal chemical reaction in the body's cells. Most disorders involve either abnormal levels of enzymes or hormones, or problems with how those enzymes or hormones work.
When the metabolism of body chemicals is blocked or defective, it can cause a buildup of toxic substances in the body or a lack of substances needed for normal body function, either of which can lead to serious symptoms.
Some metabolic diseases are inherited. These are called inborn errors of metabolism. When babies are born, they're tested for many of these in a newborn screening test. Many inborn errors of metabolism can lead to serious complications or even death if they're not controlled with diet or medicine from an early age.
G6PD deficiency: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is just one of the many enzymes that play a role in cell metabolism. G6PD is produced by red blood cells (RBCs) and helps the body metabolize carbohydrates. Without enough normal G6PD to help RBCs handle certain harmful substances, the cells can be damaged or destroyed, leading to hemolytic anemia. In a process called hemolysis, RBCs are destroyed prematurely, and the bone marrow (the soft, spongy part of the bone that produces new blood cells) may not be able to produce enough new red blood cells.
Kids with G6PD deficiency may be pale and tired and have a rapid heartbeat and breathing. They may also have an enlarged spleen or jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). G6PD deficiency is usually treated by stopping medicines or treating the illness or infection causing the stress on the RBCs.
Galactosemia: Babies born with this inborn error of metabolism lack the enzyme that converts galactose (one of two sugars found in lactose) into glucose, a sugar the body is able to use. As a result, milk (including breast milk) and other dairy products must be eliminated from the diet. Otherwise, galactose can build up in the system and damage the body's cells and organs, leading to blindness, severe intellectual disability, growth deficiency, and even death.
Hyperthyroidism: This is when an overactive thyroid gland releases too much of the hormone thyroxine, which increases BMR. It causes symptoms such as weight loss, increased heart rate and blood pressure, protruding eyes, and a swelling in the neck from an enlarged thyroid (goiter). The disease may be controlled with medicines or through surgery or radiation treatments.
Hypothyroidism: This is when an absent or underactive thyroid (due to a developmental problem or thyroid disease) causes the release of too little of the hormone thyroxine, which lowers BMR.
If not treated, this condition can result in stunted growth and intellectual disability in infants and young children. Hypothyroidism slows body processes and causes fatigue (tiredness), slow heart rate, excessive weight gain, and constipation. Kids and teens with this condition can be treated with oral thyroid hormone.
Phenylketonuria: Also known as PKU, this is caused by a defect in the enzyme that breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine. This amino acid is necessary for normal growth in infants and children and for normal protein production. However, if too much of it builds up in the body, brain tissue is affected and intellectual disability happens.
Early diagnosis and dietary restriction of the amino acid can prevent or lessen the severity of these complications.
Type 1 diabetes: This is when the pancreas doesn't produce and secrete enough insulin. Symptoms of this disease include excessive thirst and urination, hunger, and weight loss. Over the long term, it can cause kidney problems, pain due to nerve damage, blindness, and heart and blood vessel disease. Kids and teens with type 1 diabetes need to get regular insulin injections and to control their blood sugar levels to reduce the risk of developing complications.
Type 2 diabetes: This is when the body can't respond normally to insulin. Symptoms are similar to those of type 1 diabetes. Many kids who develop type 2 diabetes are overweight, which is thought to play a role in their decreased responsiveness to insulin. Some can be treated successfully with dietary changes, exercise, and oral medicine, but insulin injections are necessary in other cases. Controlling blood sugar levels reduces the risk of developing the same kinds of long-term health problems that happen with type 1 diabetes.

Here is a picture made by someone who understands the particular secrets of what makes a cartoon have cartoon appeal.
I think I'll start a series of posts to see how many people think there is a distinct difference between what is a cartoon drawing and what is pretend.
The line between cartoons and lies is really obvious to me and has been since I was a small tot with a big head and eyes myself.
I'll start it off with some of my picks.
All these artists are cartoonists. They understand that their pictures are supposed to be fun to look at and instantly appealing. Cartoonists like you.
All these artists are cartoonists. They understand that their pictures are supposed to be fun to look at and instantly appealing. Cartoonists like you.
Now here's...
Warning: don't steal Vicki's one of a kind design. It's copyrighted!
Little tiny snake eyes on fat mammals are so cute!
If it says "'TOON" in front of it, it's a guarantee it's not a cartoon.
It's amazing that Bugs Bunny survived this line-up! Although cut to shreds...
The worst was when it became vogue to make pretend "classic-style" cartoons and they got the same old Saturday Morning cartoon writers who wrote Scooby Doo and Superfriends to watch a couple of old Bugs Bunnies and then try to write like that in script form. The writers didn't understand cartoon jokes, so they would copy the old ones and then explain them to the audience. And the actual cartoonists on the shows that really did love the old cartoons had no say in the making of them.
