The signs of
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) vary
depending on whether one or both hips are affected.
Having DDH
does not cause pain. A newborn or infant with DDH may have:
In rare cases, DDH develops in the first few weeks or
months after birth and signs may not be seen until your child starts to walk.
Then your child may:
Children with untreated DDH may develop lasting
deformities in their hips. Untreated DDH can also lead to hip joint
degeneration, which is a sort of early "wearing out" of the socket. When the
degeneration occurs in the
cartilage that protects and cushions joints, it is
known as
osteoarthritis. Eventually the bones, which had been
separated by the cartilage, rub against each other. This rubbing damages tissue
and bone, and it causes pain.

Pilgrim Audiophile Edition Coming Soon
Specialist label Audio Fidelity will issue an audiophile edition of Eric Clapton's album, Pilgrim, on Hybrid SACD. First released in 1998, it was the guitarist's first disc of original material since 1989's Journeyman. With 12 self-penned tracks, Clapton experimented heavily with drum machines, electronica, R&B and even utilized the string section of the London Session Orchestra. Tying it together is Clapton's trademark guitar work of great hooks and emotional melodies. In addition to the title track, the disc features the hit single "My Father's Eyes" and two songs that would go on to become live concert favorites: "River of Tears" and "She's Gone".

Fighting for Hearts, Minds & Wallets: Utilities Face Challenges in Customer Relationships, Business ModelFor decades, traditional vertically-integrated utilities have dominated the U.S. energy landscape without fear of competition. Until recently, competition in both the wholesale and retail energy markets has been relatively curtailed, with limited options for consumers and regulated prices.
As field-based work becomes increasingly complex and time-sensitive, more and more businesses are focusing on mobile solutions integrated with back-end field service solutions to help manage field operations and provide the mobile workforce with the real-time knowledge to make better, more intelligent decisions in the field.
As the United States and countries across Europe cope with mothballed coal and gas-fired power plants, nuclear phase-out, and the integration of renewables into the energy mix, the problem of decreased available peak generation capacity will continue to escalate.
"Saving" is a popular marketing pitch that emerged with rising consumption: "save 50% when you buy 3", "save time when you buy our gadget", "save energy with our efficient furnace", etc. These promises are made to motivate consumers to buy products.
Energy conservation is something that you can easily do with the help of your electricity bill. It is an invaluable tool that precisely tells you whether you are using your energy dollars appropriately or not. However, electricity bills are often quite complex and difficult to read or understand.
Utilities have taken various initiatives with regards to achieving smart grid and deployed millions of smart meters for its residential customers & businesses. These smart devices are capable of recording, storing and pushing back the interval consumption data along with other metering variants.
The core service of a utility focuses primarily on delivering reliable and cost effective power, exceeding the expectations of customers, and external and internal stakeholders.
The grid. It might not sound that exciting, but look beneath the surface and you'll find a dynamic system that is essential to our everyday lives and constantly developing and adapting to meet new needs.
With so many advanced tools now available to fine-tune operations, utility organizations with a field service workforce have reached an unprecedented transformative stage. By leveraging technology trends such as the Internet of Things, advanced analytics and smartphone and tablet integration, these organizations are reinventing themselves as predictive, rather than reactive, operations.
With all the talk of educational reform these days, not too much is certain in a K-12 science classroom anymore. One thing that is certain: teachers are finding less and less time for what are now "extras," like guest speakers. This can present a problem for you, the energy guru, who wants a chance to engage young scientific minds on energy topics. So how can you get into a science classroom where you will be accepted and given time to share your message?

"The worst customer service I have ever had.
Sent me the incorrect print and when I asked about it they told me they were sorry about the confusion and to have a nice day.
Asked about return information or a refund and was denied any information.
Extremely disappointed."
"I was very impressed with the variety on DecalGirl. Skins for products are very reasonably priced, very diverse designs and for every product. I was very excited to get my "Library" design for the outside upper lid of my 2013 15" Macbook Pro. The skin arrived faster than the anticipated delivery date which was an excellent surprise however after putting the skin onto my laptop I was very disappointed. The skin itself is about a 1/4 inch too small all the way around the outside upper lid area and the apple cutout about 1/8th too big. I was under the assumption upon purchasing this product that the skin would cover the entire surface area of the upper lid right to the corners and the apple cutout would be exactly the size of the one on my macbook not leaving a silver boarder in between the skin and the logo. In fact, the product description stated that I may even need to trim the excess skin off.
The design is amazing however the product itself is definitely a let down. "
"Excellent customer service and excellent product. Our family has ordered quite a few over the last several years, and they've always been great - forgiving installation and great fit, huge selection, but options to customize as well. Questions are answered very thoroughly and courteously. HIGHLY recommended."
This company refuse to reply on complaints.
I ordered two skins for my Iphone and my Ipad. It was impossible to get the wallpapers to match the pattern of the skins. After my complaint, they sent a reply with advice which didnt help at all.
Since then, I have sent them several mails without getting ant reply.
So if they cant solve the problem - they just refuse to reply.
I have already thrown the skins. Avoid DecalGirl!"
"I've ordered various decals from DecalGirl over the years, most recently for my 3DS, but I've also purchased them for tablets, phones, etc. As other reviewers have mentioned, their stickers don't really provide protection, but they do look good. Fortunately, I've never needed to interact with their customer service; orders have always been accurately and promptly shipped. I will say that one good thing about their decals is that they are forgiving on installation."
"My order was shipped promptly and I received it within the estimated shipping time.
The decal was great quality and better than I'd hoped, packaged in a firm cardboard sleeve with a do not bend sticker. I noticed a minor fabrication error on the decal that I brought up to the company.
They responded within the hour and promised to ship me a new one, completely free of charge.
I have just received my replacement decal and it is beautiful.
I don't normally post reviews but I was pleased with the customer service from this company."
"Note: DecalGirl is the same as istyles.com. As for istyles.com great product, order one large laptop skin and skin multiple items. I skinned my ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700, my HTC EVO 4G phone, my wife's cell phone, my son's Nintendo 3DS XL and my daughter's Zune, with some left over. If you can measure, cut, and trim since kindergarten, you can do this with ease. "
"BEWARE of returns. As their name suggests, they sell decals, not SKINS as they advertise. I ordered 2 skins for my wife, package arrived and they were decals, you had to carefully stick them to the phone, then squeegy out the bubbles. Nonetheless, the decal provides no shock protection, it is basically cosmetic. They charge $10 for shipping (item is $10 each), and you have to pay your own shipping back, which has to be with a signature. Translation, I paid $22.00 in shipping fees for two decals that I did not want. "
"Since I already had the skin for my wii console. I looked around on the web to see what was new. I landed on decalgirl.com and found out that there were skins for the wii controllers/nunchucks and the classic controllers. So I looked if they had the one I put on my console and I found it. I placed my order on 12/18/08 and received it on 12/26/08. I was surprise how fast I got it. I'm really happy for the quality of the material and the service that decalgirl.com gave me. I order my wii skin on another website and it took 2 months to get to my house. I would recommend decalgirl.com anytime, and would purchase more stuff from them."
"Good, quick delivery. I ordered a decal for my iPod, and although the quality of the decal wasn't what I had expected, it was still good enough. If I needed more decals, I would consider buying from them being that they have such a vast selection to choose from. "
"Decalgirl is a GREAT service. They charge the lowest I've seen from anybody for an iPhone skin. For less than 10 dollars shipped, I got my skin in under a weeks time. This was my second time doing business with them, the first time I made an error in my info when I placed the order, I dropped them an email and they resolved the problem right away and dropped me a friendly email right back.
Also their selection is the largest I've seen yet."
"I'm surprised the score for this site is lower than 8. I am from Canada and they are from the US. I expected to wait at least 2 weeks since I ordered it with the cheapest shipping. It actually came 4 days later, well packaged and all. I am so satisfied with this seller I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a faceplate."
"Decalgirl, slow to action
I have to first admit that the product came quickly in the mail. However, upon LOOKING at it,I found that the faceplate looked nothing like the website had presented. I though I was going to receive a white Mirror chrome faceplate, and found out it looked like aluminum ontop of plastic. Also, half the buttons were not fully operational; i.e. it took massive mashing to get the slightest response. I contacted the reps for Decalgirl first by phone, on which they suggested that I sand the edges to see if they fit better. Didn't work. So I contacted them again, but was only able through email. Then they told me, since I sanded it, I cannot receive the full money back. Thank God, I recorded the conversation, just incase of that. After a couple of long weeks of taking pictures of my psp faceplate to show the defect BEFORE i sanded it, they finally agreed for a full refund. It shouldn't have taken that long. VERY DISSATISFIED!"
"I'm totally satisfied with DG so far. The item came within a few days after ordering it and it actually shipped to me in great condition and very fast. USPS sucks with tracking but that's ok. The decals are beautiful and it comes with the instructions too. The little thingies that is used to protect the screens on the DS Lite sucks though. I wouldnt recommend buying them. Because dust can still get inside them even if you tried applying it. And it still difficult to see in the light when you play it.
Overall, I'm happy with Decal Girl. I'll definitely will be buying them again once they make some Wii skins. I can't wait!"
"My second purchase with DecalGirl, which was also good. My order shipped three days after placing it (I placed my order on a Saturday), and it arrived in great condition. I'll purchase from them again."

Weekend notes: Still reeling from Freekbass
May 1, 2010, 11:13 AM EDT
I took yesterday off from the blog, because I was so befuddled by the new "We Are ND" video that I couldn't form words. Just when you think you're out of the woods from that ridiculous video of dancing Irish tailgaters, Notre Dame has to deal with the self-inflicted gun shot wound that is Freekbass…
Elite left tackle Hegarty commits to Irish
Apr 29, 2010, 10:31 AM EDT
Brian Kelly is on an absolute roll right now, and his latest recruiting conquest is uber blue-chipper Matthew Hegarty out of New Mexico, widely considered one of the best true left tackles in the country. "I think when you take it all in, the overall opportunity there, taking it to the next level and the…
Spring Solutions: Running Backs
Apr 28, 2010, 2:02 PM EDT
(The first in a series of updates on the positional battles that took place during spring practice.) It doesn't seem like too long ago that rumors were swirling about a possible position switch for Cierre Wood. With Wood buried on the depth chart behind Armando Allen, Robert Hughes, Jonas Gray, and Theo Riddick, there were…
Top TE prospect Koyack chooses Notre Dame
Apr 27, 2010, 1:53 PM EDT
As the days pass, it's becoming more and more evident that the worries Irish fans had about Brian Kelly being able to recruit blue-chip prospects is obsolete. National recruit Ben Koyack, out of Oil City, Pennsylvania, has given his verbal commitment to the Fighting Irish, just three days after visiting campus for the Blue-Gold Game.…
Weekend leftovers: Blue-Gold, Draft, Recruiting, etc.
Apr 26, 2010, 3:14 PM EDT
If you're looking for a good place to catch some extended video from the Blue-Gold Game, head over to UND.com where there's plenty of good stuff. But, if you're looking for say… five minutes and 36 seconds of highlights, well — you've come to the right place. After watching this, you've got to feel good…
Hanratty, Springmann, and Grace join recruiting class
Apr 25, 2010, 4:13 PM EDT
Lost amidst the news of the Blue-Gold game, head coach Brian Kelly received the pledge of three more recruits yesterday: Conor Hanratty, Tony Springmann, and Jarrett Grace. Hanratty, an offensive lineman from Connecticut, is the son of former Irish quarterback Terry Hanratty. He had offers from Boston College, Iowa, Maryland, and Wisconsin, but the draw…

Toshiba Notebooks with OpenSolaris
Hardware manufacturer Toshiba has released a series of notebooks with pre-installed OpenSolaris 2008.11.
Toshiba announced two new notebooks with the Sun OpenSolaris platform pre-installed, the 12" Portégé R600 and the 14" Tecra M10. The models are the result of a strategic partnership between Toshiba and Sun Microsystems that began in December 2008. Next to OpenSolaris 2008.11, applications on the notebooks include Sun's own VirtualBox, OpenOffice 3.0, a web stack including MySQL and the Apache Web Server, and Adobe Flash Player. Sun's developer tools are also included: Glassfish V2, Java SE Development Kit, NetBeans and Studio Express. Both notebooks come with Intel Core2 Duo processors, with speeds ranging from 1.4 to 2.53 Gigahertz. The "ultraportable" Portégé R600 has a 160-GByte hard drive, while the Tecra M10 can be configured with up to 320 GBytes.
The notebooks are currently available in the U.S. at the OpenSolaris website. Prices for the 14" model begin at $1,099. The site also includes an installation and pre-installed recovery guide. The price includes one full year of support from Sun and a three-year warranty. May should bring availability in Britain and other countries should follow. The current ToshibaDirect price listings are for Windows, although the OpenSolaris version prices should be identical.
It's amazing !!It's works like charm. Familar GNOME with compiz effects works wow. Automatic snapshots for backup is icing on cake. Plus it have all the bells & whistles of Ubuntu like package manager which is easier than ubuntu.
I want to try it !!Although I'm pushing a lot for Linux, I'm also open to OpenSolaris. Add OpenOddice and VirtualBox, chances are that they will work well together. Then, and only then, I would run Windows as a VM.
Hope they work better than mine with UbuntuI really hope they work better than my wal-mart cheapie Toshiba laptop does with Ubuntu 8.10. It takes 3 times longer to wake up from suspend than it does to boot and the WiFi Never does come back online. My Acer laptop, purchased at a LOWER price point, has none of these issues with Ubuntu. Also, Thanks Linux Mag for a Turring test that I can actually read. Some others are getting harder and harder to read.

A North Charleston man awaiting a court appearance on charges of distributing crack near a school was charged Saturday with unlawful carrying of a pistol.
According to the incident report, a North Charleston police officer spotted Andrew John Davis, 35, of Lowell Drive in North Charleston about 11 a.m. Saturday at Meeting and Dorchester roads hiding an object under his waist band with his left hand. The officer stopped his patrol car and turned on his blue lights, and Davis took off running with his left hand at his waist band.
Davis eventually quit running, his hand no longer at his waist band.
Officers found a black .40 caliber Smith & Wesson on the other side of a chain-link fence around Palmetto Masonry on Meeting Street Road. They also noted a depression in the dirt that showed the pistol had been thrown from the other side of the fence, according to the report.
Davis eventually admitted the pistol was his, according to the report. The gun was loaded with 13 bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber.
Davis was also charged with resisting arrest. He was also charged with trespass after notice, because he ran through the property of Home Quick Bail Bonds, which was posted with no-trespassing notices, according to the report.
He remains in custody at the Charleston County jail on $20,600 bail.

Eye wear at the best price and selection available.
KEN in CA
Have you ever been at the lake and watched your $100+ pair of Oakleys fall off your face and sink to the bottom? These are a great alternative either boating, at the lake, or any other opportunity where the loss of expensive sunglasses presents itself.Read All Reviews
Samuel in KS
Sunglasses worked well and blocked airflow as needed for highway riding. Only complaint is they seamed to scratch a bit too easily! Only got 3-4 months of use before I couldn't see through lenses any longer, were great for the money while they lasted!Read All Reviews
Andy in WI
Great sunglasses for a great price!Read All Reviews
RICK in UT
Great product for the price. Foam around the glasses could be thicker.Read All Reviews
MATT in UT
I bought a pair of these last week and must say I am happy with them. I really like the full frame. The nose piece was a bit out of whack, but was able to adjust them to fit my face well. I really like the Orange Lenses! I bought them with the hopes that I would be able to use them for trail riding and being in the mountains. I have been nothing but happy with them and wear them everyday as regular sunglasses. Worth the Money!Read All Reviews
ROBERT in TX
The looks and fit are great, plus they keep the wind out of your eyes perfectly. The only problem is that they are supposed to be transitional.......they don't transition AT ALL. I even tried the "freezer" method, didn't work.Read All Reviews
