A movie costume designer’s heel dream Continued from page 1B fantasy life she wants to lead. She’s successful and can affoid a closet full of the most stylish stilettos. Unfortunately she has nowhere to wear them. Her flaky irresponsible and beautiful sister Maggie, played by Cameron Diaz, has lots of places to parade aroimd in her sister’s shoes But you can be sure she has none of her own, except a beat-up pair of canvas sneak ers. Knowing that Rose was the character buying all the shoes gave de Rakoff, whose other credits include ‘Legally Blonde” and “Just Like Heaven,” the opportunity to recruit a Dream Tfeam roster Jimmy C^oo, Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Deknan, among others, “It was important to pick well-established, weU-recog- nized brands. They’re the shoes that when you’re walk ing around the department store you say 'I wish I had $600 to buy those shoes.’” Unfortunately de Rakoff says, the budget didn’t allow for the $250,000 she would’ve liked to spend on shoes. That resulted in a mix of product placements, rented shoes fium costume shops and even shoes fium her own collection. “I have very small feet. Somehow Cameron managed to jam her feet in there, though. Tm a 7 and she has these long skinny feet. I was impressed,” de Rakoff says with a lau^.

How would modern day quarantine look Continued from page 1B infectious diseases from enteiing the country and stopping interstate spread. Elxpanding that authoiity to encompass a military role might entail legislation, something lawmakers’ staffs have begim mulling as public health experts downplay the need. With SARS, CDC used its existing authority to stop that virus fiom spreading here like it did in Asia: Over three months, CDC workers delayed 12,000 airplanes car rying 3 million passengers arriving fiom SARS-affected coimtries. Anyone with SARS symptoms was isolated. Anyone possibly exposed was told what symptoms to watch for in the next 10 days and how to seek help without exposing entire emergency rooms if symptoms arose. SARS showed that tracking down patients and people they may have exposed - allowing individuals, not large areas, to be contained - can work, Cetron said. At the same time, a super flu would demand more intense measures because it would spread more easily {perhaps even before symp toms appeared. Drafts of the pandemic plan make clear that affected communities would probably close schools, shut down large gatherings and restrict travel. Ramping up gradually is crucial to minimize social and economic fallout, Schafl&ier cautioned. He offered his home city of Nashville as an example: Authorities first might urge people to watch the Titans play football on TV instead of at the stadium, and to avoid shopping malls. Then schools might close for a while. Then people might be told to post pone holidays or business trips to Nashville to stem transmission. XX r. General Dentistry 2 Convenient Locations to Serve You!

ASSOCIATFI) FHESS CONCORD, New Hampshire- Ditch the rice cereal and mashed peas, and make way for enchiladas, curry and even-gasp!—hot peppers. It’s time to discard every thing you think you know about feeding babies. It tmns out most advice parents get about weaning infants onto solid foods — even fiom pedi atricians — is more myth than science That’s ri^t, rice cereal may not be the best first food. Peanut butter doesn’t have to wait until after the first birth day Offering friiits before vegetables won’t breed a sweet tooth. And strong spices? Bring ‘em on. “Tliere’s a bunch of mythol- out there about this,” says Dr. David Bergman, a Stanford University pedi atrics professor. “There’s not much evidence to support any particular way of doing things ” Word of that has been slow to reach parents and the stacks of baby books they rely on to navigate this often intimidating period of their children’s lives But that may be changing. As research increasingly suggests a child’s first experi ences with food shape later eating habits, doctors say bat tling obesity and improving the American diet may mean debunking the myths and broadening babies' palates. It’s easier—and harder— than it sounds. Easier because experts say 6-month- olds can eat many of the same things their parents do. Harder because it’s tou^ to find detailed guidance for nervous parents. "Parents have lost touch with the notion that these charts are guides, not rules,” says Rachel Brandeis, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "Babies start with a very clean palate and it’s your job to mold it.” It’s easy to mistake that for a regimented process. Most parents are told to start rice cereal at 6 months, then slow ly progress to simple vegeta bles. mild fiAiits and finally pasta and meat. Ethiuc foods and spices are mostly ignored by the guide lines—cinnamon and avoca dos are about as exotic as it gets—and parents are warned off potential aller gens such as nuts and seafood for at least a year. Yet experts say children over 6 months can handle most anything, with a few caveats: Be cautious if you have a family history of aller gies; introduce one food at a time and watch for any prob lems; and make sure the food isn’t a dioking hazard. Parents elsewhere in the worid certainly take a more fieewheeling approach, often starting babies on heartier, more flavorful fare—fix>m meats in African countries to fish and radishes in Japan and artichokes and tomatoes in France. The difference is cultural, not scientific, says Dr. Jatinder Bhatia, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ nutrition commit tee who says the American approach suffers fix)m a Western bias that fails to lefiect the United States’ eth nic diversity Bhatia says he hopes his group soon will address not only that, but also ways to bet ter educate parents about which rules must be followed and which ones are only sug gestions. Rayya Azarbeygui, a 35- year-old Lebanese immigrant living in New York, isn’t wait ing. After her son was bom last year, she decided he should eat the same foods she does—heavily seasoned Middle Eastern dishes like hummus and baba ghanoush "My pediatrician thinks Pm completely crazy,” says Azarbeygui, whose son is now 13 months old. "But you know, he sees my child thriv ing and so says, You know what, children in India eat like that. Why not yours?“ How to introduce healthy children to solid food has rarely been studied Even the U.S. government has given it little attention; dietary guide lines apply only to children 2 and older. In a review of the research, Nancy Butte, a pediatrics pro fessor at Ba>dor College of Medicine, found that many strongly held assiunptions— such as the need to offer foods in a particular order or to delay allergenic foods — have little scientific basis. Take rice cereal, for exam ple. Under conventional American wisdom, it’s the best first food. But Butte says iron-rich meat — often one of the last foods American par ents introduce — would be a better choice. Dr. David Ludwig of Children’s Hospital Boston, a specialist in pediatric nutri tion, says some studies sug- , gest rice and other highly processed grain cereals actu ally could be among the worst foods for infants. "These foods arein ac^ain sense no different fiom adding sugar to formula. They digest very rapidly in the body into sugar, raising blood sugar and insulin levels” and could con tribute to later health prob lems, including obesity, he says. The lack of variety in the American approach also could be a problem.

It updates a 2000 policy. • Infants should sleep their backs; side- sleeping is too unstable and should be avoided. The previous policy said side-sleeping was less pref^'able but if used should include propter arm placement to avoid rolling onto the stcau- ach. • Pacifiers should be used at nap time and bedtime during the first year but not during the first month for breast-fed babies. They should not be forced on babies who protest. The pa^vious jx)licy didn’t address pacifier use. • Babies' cribs should be placed in parents’ bedrooms, which can facilitate nighttime ta^ast-feeding, but infants should not sleep in adults' beds and babies brou^t into bed to nurse should be returned to their cribs after ward. The' previous px)licy said bed-sharing may be hazardous under certain conditions.
