Virtualization Takes Off
Is virtualization the answer to everything? It certainly seems that way. Cost-reduction -- check. Growth -- check. Business flexibility -- check. Following a bit of VDI- and cloud-induced distraction in 2010, we see tremendous activity levels for the more mature virtualization types in 2011.
All Covered, a Redwood City, Calif.-based regulation, compliance, business continuity and strategic planning services company, has deployed enterprise virtualization to both cut costs and increase flexibility.
"We've been fortunate that our business has been expanding," says CIO Tim Crawford, who is also a past president of the Society for Information Management's San Francisco Bay Area chapter. "However, there may be times where some services contract. Given that, the virtual model can save between 25 and 75 percent on operating costs, depending on how efficiently the servers are used today."
It's clear that server and storage virtualization are only now hitting their stride, as most organizations have at least one production environment and are beginning to move aggressively to expand. Application virtualization may also be taking advantage, though that's unclear from our study, which didn't separate it out from the other two. Network virtualization, however, was looked at separately and still seems to be several years away from meaningful deployment levels.

It's still taking me loads more time than should be possible to write, mildly playtest and then format these combat styles I'm doing for Spirits of Eden. To sate your insatiable appetite for content, I'm posting two more of the ones I have done. Both of these styles are particularly egregious in being abstract in every way that 4e turns people off, and I love it for that.
The first one is a distillation of the Warlord's schtick into a both more convenient and less convenient package. I wanted it to be possible for a Warlord to have his at-wills ALL be "I command you to do my work for me!" but I didn't want it to be the same as Commander's Strike. But then I got my idea for combat styles, so I decided to make the Prodigal Strategist style that anyone could buy into (including "that other leader", the Cleric) and the rest is history. Warlords can take this to be supreme masters of never doing anything themselves, and other classes can take it to play at being Mini-Warlords for a while.
A design note – if I feel a style is cribbing too much into a particular class' style, or if the style's attacks are really "4e" (by which I mean abstract and awesome as hell), I give it a Daily instead of an Encounter as its second power. To make myself feel better.
The second one is just that I thought we needed some way to get everyone with the Diplomacy skill to be able to screw with people's minds. Even if only for a little bit. Actually, I just really, really wanted a deadly diplomat, but Deadly Diplomat seemed like a really stupid name that I just couldn't take seriously. So I made them into "mind control maids" instead.
There's your deep look into my design process.
Prodigal Strategist (Martial or Divine or Arcane, Leader)
Those who read the history of Adel will overwhelmingly see violence and war. This aspect of Adel's history was the most emphasized and romanticized apart from dealings with Spirits. The exploits of glorious commanders and their loyal soldiers against enemy armies are highly studied by many in Adel, some of whom seek to imitate the conduct and glory of these almost mythical characters.
Prodigal Strategists might be "hobbyist tacticians" with a good eye, scholars with a wide knowledge of battle, or downright professional militiamen. They tend to have the discipline and chivalry exhibited by the heroes of the military romances.
Prodigal Strategist [Style]
Prerequisites: Int 15 or Wis 15, trained in Diplomacy
Benefit: You possess the Prodigal Strategist combat style. Once per encounter when an ally spends an action point, that ally can shift 2 squares before taking the extra action from that action point and gains a +1 bonus to its attack roll and damage roll.
Strategic Observation Prodigal Strategist Attack 1
You spot an opportunity or weakness in the progressing battle.
At Will @ Style
Standard Action Close Burst 5
Target: One creature in burst you can see that you have combat advantage against
Attack: Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma + 2 Vs Reflex
Increase to +4 at 11th level and +6 at 21st level.
Hit: An ally in the burst can make a basic attack against the target. Before the attack, choose one of the following benefits to give to the chosen ally.
•The ally can shift 1 square before and after the attack.
•The ally gains combat advantage against the target for the attack.
•The ally's attack deals 1d6 + your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier damage on a Miss. This improves to 2d6 + Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier damage at 21st level.
Tactical Movement Prodigal Strategist Utility 2
Positions on the battlefield are fluid as the course of the battle.
Encounter @ Style
Minor Action Close Burst 5
Target: You or one ally in burst you can see
Effect: The target can shift 2 squares. If it ends its movement adjacent to an ally, it can switch places with that ally.
The True Strike Prodigal Strategist Attack 5
A timely observation allows an ally to forge ahead.
Daily @ Style
Minor Action Close Burst 5
Target: One ally in burst you can see.
Effect: You slide the target 2 squares and it takes a standard action to make an At-Will attack. It can roll twice for this attack and use the highest result.
Level 15: It takes a standard action to make an At-Will or Encounter attack.
Miss: If the attack misses, it deals 3d6 damage.
Level 25: If the attack misses, it deals 5d6 damage.
Adept Courtier (Martial or Arcane or Divine, Controller/Leader)
The power of speech is not to be underestimated. To become a good speaker is to become a good manipulator in all respects. To understand communication, Adept Courtiers study the natures of creatures both intelligent and not so, they study humors and demeanor, emotions and desires. These skills are typically taught, but may also arise naturally from dealing with the streets, or by a gift of magic.
Base natures can be manipulated in a variety of ways, and the puppeteering courtiers, as they call themselves, a good few of them being actual servants, are the often ill-meaning masters of such nature and its manipulation.
They are respected and feared across those in Adel who know of their ways, and it is said they began as an order of Assassins, though their style is now scattered to the winds across all nations. They are sought after to hide amongst rosters of maids or guards in the service of important personages, either to guard them or to betray them.
Adept Courtier [Style]
Prerequisite(s): Int 15 or Wis 15 or Cha 15, trained in Diplomacy or Bluff
Benefit: You possess the Adept Courtier combat style. You can use your Diplomacy or Intimidate skill to feint in combat, and whenever you feint successfully you can slide the target of the feint 1 square. Once per encounter, you can give an ally who can hear you a +1 bonus to its next attack roll made before the end of your next turn as a minor action.
Disarming Voice Adept Courtier Attack 1
You turn your opponent's emotions or instincts against it in the heat of battle or use them to manipulate it out of combat.
At-Will @ Style, Psychic
Standard Action Ranged 5
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma + 2 vs Will
Increase to +4 at 11th level and +6 at 21st level.
Hit: 1d8 + Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier psychic damage and the target takes a -3 penalty damage rolls until the end of your next turn.
Level 11: -4 penalty to damage rolls.
Level 21: 2d8 + Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier psychic damage and a -5 penalty to damage rolls.
Special: This power can be used as an Encounter ability during a Skill Challenge or outside combat. If so, it deals no damage, but you have a +3 bonus to your next Charisma or Wisdom-based skill check or ability check against the target.
Uplifting Oration Adept Courtier Utility 2
A certain character of power spreads through your voice and helps others to find strength.
Daily @ Style, Healing
Minor Action Close Burst 5
Target: One ally in burst who can hear you
Effect: The target can spend a healing surge and regains extra hit points equal to your intelligence, wisdom or charisma modifier. The target has a +2 bonus to attack rolls and defenses until the end of your next turn.
Beguiling Word Adept Courtier Attack 5
You taunt and trick an enemy into doing your dirty work.
Encounter @ Style, Charm
Standard Action Close Burst 5
Target: One creature in burst you can see
Attack: Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma + 2 vs Will
Increase to +4 at 11th level and +6 at 21st level.
Hit: The target is dominated (save ends).
Miss: The target makes a basic attack against a creature of your choice.

Lucas Energy, Hercules Offshore: Small-Cap Winners
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Small-cap oil companies were rallying Wednesday, with a renewed surge in crude oil prices driving buying interest.
Lucas Energy (LEI) was gaining on unusually high volumes Wednesday, rising 26% to $2.63. The independent oil and gas company announced the completion of the Hilcorp Energy-operated Eagle Ford horizontal well. The well is expected to be put on production in a few weeks and Lucas expects it to meet or exceed expectations of 500 barrels of oil per day. That will increase its net production, cash flow and net produced reserves significantly, the company said.
Royale Energy (ROYL) climbed 11% to $7.41 after it announced that it had closed a sale of assets located in Kern County, California, but did not disclose details about the acreage position or the value of the assets. Royale said it has retained an overriding royalty on the acreage, which is prospective for the Monterey Shale.
Hercules Offshore (HERO) saw its stock jump 7.7% to $5.41. Shares of the offshore driller have climbed 18% in the week running up to Tuesday, after the regulators granted the first permit for offshore drilling activities in the Gulf of Mexico since the Macondo oil spill last April.Samson Oil & Gas (SSN) was another prominent gainer, rising 3.2% to $3.89. MELA Sciences (MELA) saw its shares rise 16% to $2.99 after it said it filed an amendment to the premarket approval application of MelaFind, its skin-cancer detecting device, with U.S. regulators. The amendment clarifies the intended use of MelaFind to dermatologists as a response to public statements made by several dermatologists sitting on the MelaFind FDA Advisory Panel. MelaFind received positive FDA Advisory Panel recommendations in November 2010 and is currently under review at the FDA. Shares of mortgage insurance companies were rising on reports that newly proposed mortgage lending regulations might not hit mortgage insurers as adversely as previously thought. Shares of Radian (RDN) were gaining 4.6% to $7.01. MGIC Investment (MTG) also saw its stock gain 2% to $8.38. --Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York

Dave Stoessel
Greetings fellow Birds Fans! I am the owner/editor/writer for EaglesAddict.com.
I'm a long-time die-hard Eagles fan who tries to express my thoughts in a logical and level-headed way. I like to maintain an objective viewpoint on the team and both praise and criticize as I see fit.
I do not view the world through "green goggles" nor am I the type to constantly complain about the team.
I've been addicted to Eagles football since the days of Dick Vermeil. My favorite time period was the Buddy Ryan era…I was a huge fan of Buddy Ball, even if they never won a playoff game (really, is was all about the Gang Green defense!).
Besides Eagles Addict, I'm also part of Fox Sports' partner Yardbarker Network, where my articles are also published, and contribute to the web site Independent Sports News. In the past, I've been a Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report as well as contributed to GCobb.com and various other sports sites.
I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology so yes, I be a college graduate! I'm also a family man and have a full time job…unfortunately this awesome blog doesn't pay the bills….yet!
I will strive to keep you up to date on the current happenings with all things Eagles-related and provide my highly subjective…but always objective…opinions and analysis.
Thanks for visiting!
6 Responses to About
Good luck on your launch, Dave! The site looks great… and I'm all for hearing and reading what the "Average Joe" Eagles fan has to say…and often, that's way above average! Keep up the good work…we'll definitely support you over at Eagles Eye…
Hey Dave- your webpage looks awesome! Very nice job. You've got our support! I've passed your link to a few people I know here at work.
See you Sunday! Lisa
Just found your blog today. Originally from Philly, but now in Tennessee after retiring from U S Army. Always looking for news and views of my favorite team Go Eagles!
I look forward to reading more in the future.

This online course provides an in-depth overview of an integrative approach for crystallization development – using models to analyze the SLE behavior of the system, validating the model using relevant experimental data, and systematically synthesizing a crystallization process based on the SLE behavior. Starting with fundamental issues such as solubility and physical properties, we will discuss the relevant theories, methods, experimental techniques, and design methods that have been used in many industrial applications for developing an optimum crystallization process. Various examples will be provided to throughout the course. The course is divided into eight lectures:
- Introduction to Crystallization Process Development
- Basics of Solid Liquid Equilibrium (SLE) and Phase Diagrams
- Thermodynamics-based Conceptual Design of Crystallization Processes
- Synthesis of Crystallization-based Separation and Purification Processes
- Crystallization Processes Involving More Complex SLE Behaviors
- Chiral Resolution and Polymorphic Crystallization Process
- Modeling, Experiments, and Analysis of Experimental Data
- Design and Scale-up Issues: An Overview

Crude oil futures prices rose on the New York market on Dec. 19 before the Federal Reserve announced that it plans next month to begin tapering its economic stimulus program, which analysts took as a sign of greater confidence that the US economy and also energy demand will grow during 2014.
Outgoing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told reporters that he could foresee the bond-purchase program ending by late 2014. During January, the Fed plans to reduce its purchases to $75 billion/month from $85 billion/month.
"We are hopeful the economy will continue to show progress," and return to more normal growth patterns, Bernanke said. In addition, the Fed announced it is in no hurry to increase short-term interest rates.
Separately, the US Energy Information Administration estimated working gas in underground storage as of Dec. 13 at 3.248 tcf, a net decline of 285 bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 488 bcf less than last year at this time and below the 5-year average of 3.5 tcf, said the weekly EIA gas storage report.
Meanwhile on world oil markets, Brent crude futures prices ended up by more than $1/bbl on the London market Dec. 18 after having fluctuated throughout the trading session over uncertainty regarding when Libyan oil exports might resume from some of its eastern ports.
Energy prices
The New York Mercantile Exchange January crude contract climbed 58¢ to close at $97.80/bbl on Dec. 18. The February contract rose 59¢ to settle at $98.06/bbl.
Heating oil for January delivery jumped up 4.72¢, settling at a rounded $3.01/gal. Reformulated gasoline stock for oxygenate blending for January delivery escalated 5¢ to a rounded $2.70/gal.
The January natural gas contract on NYMEX rose declined 3.6¢ to settle at a rounded $4.25/MMbtu. On the US spot market, the gas price at Henry Hub, La., increased 4.4¢ to a rounded $4.26/MMbtu.
In London, the February ICE contract for Brent crude oil climbed $1.19, closing at $109.63/bbl. The ICE gas oil contract for January was up $9.50 to settle at $929/tonne.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 benchmark crudes closed at $106.74/bbl on Dec. 18, up 17¢.

Sunny27- that is really inspiring. It is people like your mother that really demonstrate what a desire and strong work ethic can do for you.
I agree that no one should give up on an education, but I do think that you need to look at what the education costs as opposed to the job you will obtain.
For example, going to an expensive private college and obtaining $100,000 in debt does not make much sense if you are going to be a teacher. A public university for such a career choice seems like a better investment.

SoLost: Pickin' in Mountain View
In its premiere episode, SoLost delves into the unique vibe of Mountain View, Arkansas, a place that dubs itself as the folk music capital of the world. Besides being home to a legendary yearly music festival that celebrates folk, bluegrass, country and mountain music, what truly distinguishes Mountain View is the fact that people literally break into song on any street corner, home or porch at any time on any day of the year. And they'll come long distances out of the Ozark hills or even across state borders to do it. Professionals, amateurs, seniors, and teenagers alike all converge on the town square every night of the week to sit in musical circles and play standards and originals from every genre. SoLost went to check it out.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Heavy Rain have been revealed as the top contenders for the 2010 British Academy Video Game Awards (BAFTA). They join a list of 44 gaming nominees that will duke it out in 16 award categories during the live event in London on March 16th.
According to today's announcement, Ubisoft's open-world assassin adventure leads the BAFTA pack with seven nominations in categories like Best Action, Best Game, Best Gameplay and Best Multiplayer, while Call of Duty: Black Ops and Heavy Rain follow closely behind with six BAFTA nods each. But lest we fuel a fanboy war, it's important to note that both Call of Duty and Heavy Rain also won a spot in the publicly-voted GAME Award of 2010 list; a category in which Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is not recognized.
Other notable nominees include the indie darling Limbo for Best Artistic Direction, Best Game and Gameplay; Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Best Gameplay, Original Music and Technical Innovation, Alan Wake for Best Story, Use of Audio and Original Music, and Bejeweled Blitz for BAFTA's new category, Best Social Network Game. High profile titles such as Mass Effect 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Gran Turismo 5 and God of War 3 are also in the running.
A complete list can be found at BAFTA's website.
Videogame award events are best taken with a healthy serving of objectivity and a pinch of cynicism; especially now when it seems that everyone with industry contacts and an online voting application is clamoring to become the industry's one, true judge. Granted, the folks at BAFTA have a bit more credibility than most, but at the end of a day they're just another group of quasi-experts attempting to rank a highly subjective industry. That disclaimer out of the way, I fully believe Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood can totally kick Call of Duty's ass any day of week. Discuss!

This Bud's For You (If You're Sick) – Medical Marijuana in the ChurchFriday, December 18th, 2009
I'll call him Pastor X for reasons that will soon be apparent. A member of his congregation, an Elder who has served the congregation faithfully for many years, has been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. The doctors recommend an equally aggressive campaign of chemotherapy. He is in his late seventies or early eighties and his prognosis is grim. Nausea induced from his chemo prevents him from eating anything. He is wasting away and is in incredible pain.
Pastor X approaches another member of his congregation, a man with a terminal illness that is less aggressive but just as deadly as cancer. This man has a California Medical Marijuana card and legally purchases marijuana to help him cope with the effects of his disease and his medication. Pastor X says "Elder ______ has cancer and is dying. It's going to be ugly." The man quickly produces half a dozen cigarettes of medical strength marijuana and gives them to his Pastor. When the Pastor next visits the Elder, he gives him the marijuana.
The preceding story is true, and I suspect happens more often than we might think in California and other parts of the country where medical marijuana is legal.
Another man, a personal friend of mine, has a constellation of illnesses that can leave him bedridden. He is a devout and confessional Lutheran. He has a great job, a lovely wife and two great kids. He is involved in his congregation on several levels. His physician had for years prescribed Marinol, a synthetic form of the active ingredient in marijuana, to help treat his illnesses. Once California legalized medical marijuana, his doctor gave him a recommendation for a medical marijuana card, and he now buys marijuana from a legal dispensary. It's much cheaper than the Marinol and far more effective in treating his condition.
As more and more states legalize various forms of pot use, the church is going to increasingly face situations like I have just described. California appears to be well on the way to full blown legalization. One of the state assembly bills working its way through our state legislature is entitled AB420. With a title like that, you can see how this is going to go. (420 is street slang for marijuana.) Our state is broke, and our elected officials won't be able to resist the avalanche of tax revenue and jobs legalization will bring.
What is, or what should be the church's stance on these issues? I have heard no public discussion in the blogosphere or anywhere else on how the church should deal with the subject. Granted, it is a complicated and nuanced issue. Medical use and recreational use would seem to be two entirely different subjects. Once the legal hurdle is done away with, will the church (at least some parts of the church) look at casual use the same way they look at the use of alcohol or tobacco? Is there merit in medicinal use in the eyes of the church?
It is my hope that our best theologians and thinkers will try to get out ahead of the curve and engage the subject in a wise and rigorously biblical way, or at least try to shape the conversation in a constructive way. This issue is running up on us quickly. Some denominations will automatically be against any use at all. Others will be in favor of any and all use, just because. I'd like to see the Lutherans engaging the issue. Pastors and theologians hammering out a biblical position, or maybe the CTCR doing a study and issuing a paper, even if it is only a preliminary study.
What do our readers think? Here are a few questions to get the discussion started.
Do you think the use of marijuana for medical reasons has merit?
Is legalization helpful or harmful to our society as a whole?
If it is legal, is it right for Christians to work in a dispensary or otherwise be involved in the Medical Marijuana industry as a legitimate vocation?
Is Marijuana use sinful in a state that has legalized it?
What are some of the Scriptural passages that would be helpful in shaping our attitudes towards the whole issue?
You may be asking yourself what I personally think about the issue. I have tried to be non-committal on the whole deal, but I do have several opinions on the subject.
About Pastor X; while he technically broke the law by appropriating marijuana legally obtained by one patient for use by another who was not permitted by law to receive it, I am not going to second guess a Pastor who is trying to help his friend and church member on his deathbed. Here I would err on the side of mercy.
Likewise, I am not a doctor and would not insinuate my judgment into my friend's health care decisions arrived at with the help of his doctor. If the law of the land states that a medication is legal and his doctor prescribes it for him, in my book he is not guilty of sin in the matter.
I do have opinions on the subject of legalization, but they are an outgrowth of my political views, and both Ted and I make a conscious effort to keep our politics off this site in the interest of not placing stumbling blocks in front of the Gospel. One of the main reasons for this post is to stir up theological discussion so that better minds than mine can shed some Biblical light on the subject and help me and others to have a more fully formed Christian view of the subject.
And no, I do not use marijuana, medical or otherwise, just in case you were wondering.
So, what do you think?By Pat K

AAPL, AMZN, NFLX: Does Common Sense Ever Prevail on the Stock Market?
Brick and mortar ain't catching up, primarily because it should not try to play catch-up. Innovate, don't imitate.
(Enter writer's transitional crutch here) But, I digress ... I have to give more credit to that Morgan upgrade. They get Amazon. Outside of international (also from Gara's story) the house sees ...
a slow ramp up of other Jeff Bezos growth projects as a catalyst to near-term earnings. Notably ... strong Apple iPad and iPhone sales could benefit Amazon.
While investors oftentimes lament Amazon's spending plans,
Morgan Stanleysees international e-commerce efforts as paying off over the long term, as consumer retail markets open up on the Web.
Spot on. And spot on.
Amazon and Apple are partners, not competitors. And Amazon's spending drives performance, in China, elsewhere internationally and at home.As of this writing, AMZN is up to around $266. New highs. On Dec. 18 I said it's headed to $300. Don't look now, but it's well on its way. With solid earnings later this month, it's in the bag. Even if Amazon missed, the stock, like it always does, will rebound. People, like TheStreet's Jim Cramer, love Jeff Bezos. As they should. Sometimes, sanity -- even at astronomical P/E ratios (!) -- does prevail. Follow @rocco_thestreet --Written by Rocco Pendola in Santa Monica, Calif.

QUESTION: I recently got an email that contained a picture of a whitetail fawn hiding amongst fallen flower petals on the steps of a home. It got me wondering if all fawn coats are pretty much the same, or do the spot patterns vary? -- Nancy Cole / Flint, Mich.
ANSWER: As the picture you describe demonstrates, the spots on whitetail fawns are designed for camouflage and to help break up the outline of the animal's body. Just like other animals with outline-distorting patterns — zebras, leopards and tigers, for example — the patterns on whitetail fawns look similar but differ from animal to animal. For whitetail fawns, that difference occurs in the exact number of spots, size and how those spots are dispersed.
While there is no exact pattern just about all whitetail fawns have two rows of spots located on each side of the backbone, extending from the base of the tail to the ears. Spots then occur randomly over the sides and flanks.
I recently read about some researchers who took the time to count the spots on three fawns. The totals ranged from 272 to 342, and the size of the spots varied from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
While patterns on animals like zebras and leopards remain for life, whitetails lose their spots just a few months after birth. Fawns aren't very mobile, so the mother doe hides the fawn when she has to go feed. The small animal's only defense is its camouflage, and it will remain perfectly still, even if predators approach.
As the fawn grows and begins to walk around with its mother, the spots would actually draw predator eyes. That's when nature kicks in, allowing the young deer to grow new hair, devoid of spots.

Infant formulas are a nutritional source for infants less than one year of age. A variety of formulas are available for infants younger than 12 months. These formulas vary in caloric density, nutrient composition and ingredients, digestibility, taste, and cost.
Guidelines for infant formulas and standards for normal infant feeding based on human breast milk have been provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Specific types of formulas include:
The standard milk-based formulas contain heat-treated cow's milk protein (at reduced concentrations), lactose and minerals from cow's milk, vegetable oils, minerals and vitamins. The amount of each nutrient is set to standards based on levels in breast milk.
The AAP recommends iron-fortified formulas for all infants. Standard formulas contain 20 Kcal/ounce and .45 grams of protein/ounce. Additional vitamin supplements are not usually recommended.
Consuming more than the daily requirement of vitamins is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Depending on the water supply, pediatricians may prescribe a fluoride supplement to help the infant develop strong teeth and bones.
Management of infants with metabolic problems should be discussed with an experienced dietitian and physician. Formula choices may be affected by the condition of the infants' gastrointestinal tract and metabolism.
Improper mixing of infant formulas can result in abdominal pain, improper caloric intake, or other problems. Never water down the formula, as that can alter your baby's salt balance, which can cause seizures. Using the wrong type of formula for infants with special needs can cause the baby's condition to become worse. Formula-fed babies are also at increased risk of a variety of health problems, compared with babies who are breastfed.
The AAP recommends that infants be fed breast milk or formula for a minimum of 12 months.
Regular cow's milk is not appropriate for infants because the baby's kidneys may not work as efficiently as an adult's. Cow's milk also has too much protein (and in particular, too much casein, a type of protein). The minerals are not easily absorbed, and there is an increased risk for sensitization to milk proteins. Low-fat and skim milk are also inappropriate for use in the first year of life. They do not provide enough calories for growth or enough of some nutrients needed for normal development.
Formulas based on cow's milk are appropriate for full-term and pre-term infants who have no special nutritional requirements and do not have access to breast milk.
Special formulas should be used under a physician's supervision.
Improper mixing of formula is common and may harm the infant. Follow the instructions on the formula container carefully.
