This year, in addition to the usual request for judges and participants, I've finally realized I need to pick your collective brains... Where-and when-ever your persona/specialty/cookbook collection is from, what would you give out for the ten items provided in a siege cooking ingredient bag? (The contestants provide salt and herbs/spices.) I've always included a protein, a fat, a starch, a sweet, a sour, a vegetable and a fruit. The rest can get pretty whimsical. Another version: the available foods would be quite different for a battlefield meal, since the scouts can buy (or steal) fresh items. What would you include in that bag? ------------------------------ For the battlefield meal... A rabbit (or two), a large bunch of mixed fresh herbs, some fruit (apples, blackberries or if you're really feeling cruel, crabapples), mushrooms, honey, eggs as things they might be able to find wild. Bacon, onions, bread, oil, wine or ale, as provisions they would likely be carrying - and extra points to those who realise breadcrumbs can be used as a substitute for flour. Angharad

To others- It think it is very hurtful to categorize poly relationships as crap. There are many couple who live this lifestyle who in no sense of the word tolerate this type of betrayal. There are bad people in every lifestyle and generalizing like this can really hurt people who may be reading.
I appreciate the sentiment.
That being said, AP and her husband were by all accounts major players in my (large) city's polyamory/BSDM/kink scene, and likely serve as a model couple for others who are thinking about the lifestyle. So in a very real sense, they do in fact "represent" polyamoury, at least where we live. Sad, but true. For what it's worth, I am sorry when innocent people are expected to answer for the bad behavior of people they happen to share a social identity with.
And THAT being said, I would really appreciate not having to discuss the "good parts of polyamoury" right now, just to make sure "some people" aren't offended that members of their group used polyamoury as an excuse to behave like terrible people. There is an entire internet out there full of people who would love to discuss how great, fair, enlightened, honest, fabulous, and so forth their own poly marriage is, but I am not one of them right now, and this is not one of those forum threads.
Perhaps someday I will be able to be more open-minded and generous about the whole thing, but today is not that day. This month is not that month. Right now I am pretty angry about polyamoury and how it has played a role in screwing up my marriage, and I feel that I have a right to that anger.
Good luck!
Sure the seductive lure of playing musical beds can put the "fun" in dysfunctional. Your "friends" adult choices by their nature are attention seeking. And if they are "major players" in the scene I'm sure they have no shortage of partners. I was under the impression the "Sexually Enlightened" have rules about not doing exactly what they did?
Treachery is in Dante's 9th circle because it is the worst of all sins.

So I understand completely how you feel. You WERE betrayed by your WS and your friends. Your head is spinning, you are wondering who you can trust anywhere around you. And sadly what messes with a BS the most is not trusting themselves. What they thought they totally knew 100% is now crumbled.
The friends? Label them any way you want but at the end of the day they cheated and stole and lied....thats what infidelity is, we focus on your WS because that is the part you yourself can have some kind of control with....the friends however chose to lie and cheat behind your back. You have a rite to be angry.
I really do hope you suck it up, even thru this horrible betrayal and only work on you. Control what you can control and that is your own life and your own career. Take your power back, don't let others take it from you.
Dip into that well of anger (the one you have every right to feel) and use it to get laser focused on finishing your PHD. Your anger could generate energy you need to cross finish line!
Be pissed as hell.
Those enlightened friends used your good nature against you. As for the sabotaging AP who finished her own studies with your loving support, she needs a lesson on character. I say, enlighten her on the virtues of your strength and character by pushing forward and pushing through. Do not waiver. Show those egotistical vampires how it's done.
I am rooting for you to finish your PHD, so you can move on with your academic/life plans, and heal from the wounds of their deception.
When you finish, give yourself permission to fall apart or take a rest. Whatever you need. Healing from this kind of betrayal is a long, tiring journey (with or without R on the table) and I think you would be wise to strike while the iron is still hot.
I love your name by the way.
I am so sorry that you are facing this horrible betrayal. It was bad enough that your WH did this, but also 2 friends is beyond cruel and painful. You would think that out of 3 grown adults, one of them would have said, we need to think about TheGarden and how she will view this. Sadly that did not happen.
As everyone else has said they were not really your friends and hopefully by you telling others what they did, they will be unable to prey on another couple as easily as they preyed on your WH. I am not in the least bit letting him off the hook for his involvement and you don't need to either. I have yet to see an open relationship work out for any couple, but if he had any desire to experiment that way he should have told you. He didn't because he knew you did not operate that way. He now needs to figure out why he would do something like that knowing it could destroy your marriage and career.
My XWH#1 was involved in those types of sexual escapades. Unfortunately I was unaware of it until during the D I found a membership card to a swinger's club under the drawer in his night stand. I also found swinger newspapers hidden in his closet. It made my decision to D him that much easier.
He kept demanding the hard drive for my computer during the D. I couldn't figure out why until after I found the card. When investigating the computer he had used my log in to set up accounts on sex sites to have sex with other couples. It was discusting and I destroyed the hard drive and bought a new computer. He was going to use what HE DID against me in court. He was that sick that he would try and distroy me, his wife for 20+ yrs and the mother of his two kids because I had the guts to D him over an EA with an 18yr old girl. Imagine that.
Also the fact that he physically assaulted you after the fact is of worse concern to me. I have worked with domestic violence patients before and those that phsically abuse someone needs serious help. Just because he said call the police after the fact is no indication that it won't happen again. They are often remorseful for it after it happens, but he needs to dig deeply within himself to get to the reason he did it after all these years. I am not a big believer in the "fog" excuse. He has some serious problems that he needs to address and sweeping it under the rug is a bad idea.
Although moving is probably a good thing, just make sure that it isn't to run from the problems he has created. I know after my XWH#1's 1st A less than a year after we married, we moved. It solved nothing other than getting us out of the town with OW#1. It did not solve our problems. I look back now all these years later and wonder, what if I had made him seek IC would it have made a difference. Who knows???
The one thing I can tell you is to get your PhD. Never depend on someone else to heal you. That you have to do for yourself. The one thing I did do in my first marriage was put myself through college. It took awhile, but I was able to break away finally from a toxic relationship with XWH#1.
Luckily, by the grace of God, he never gave me an STD. Hopefully you have already been tested, if not please do it. Yes, its embarrassing for a BS to have to do that, but your health is #1.
One last thing and I will shut up. WS's lie. When you think you have gotten the whole story, there is often more to it than what they admit to. They will often only admit to what you know and may give you a little more for show, but most of the time it's really only the tip of the iceberg. The fact that your WH did come home and admit some of it right away at least shows he had some guilt over what he did. Just know that what you know may not be the complete truth.
You will get through this!!! You are a strong person with good morals and have a brain to go with it. Do not sell yourself short and demand that he now stand up and face his brokeness like a man. (((HUGS)))
Hold on to your hat and just repeat in your head as you read this, "Focus on the target. Do not focus on what is NOT the target."
The ex is a former Navy SEAL. Part of the training they go through is that when they're diving, the instructors chum the waters above where the recruits are diving. Why, you ask? Because the SEAL trainees have to learn to ignore EVERYTHING other than what their intended mission is. And I do mean everything. At some point they have to swim back up through the chummed waters. Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Bloody, chum saturated, and shark-infested water and they have to swim right through it to get up to the boat. The boat is their new target. They focus on the boat and not on the chum OR the sharks.
All of the other bullshit going on is just chum, honey. Your target is that PhD. Do it. You can swim through the chum and the sharks. Do it.Focus on the target. Do not focus on what is NOT the target.

what these people did was not polyamory. They are liars and betrayers
However, that being said, for all the posters making generalizations about the polyamorous lifestyle, it is just that. A generalization. As we wouldn't like a generalization made about the monogamous lifestyle, we need to respect those that chose differently.
(((TheGarden))) I am so sorry that you needed to find us, but glad that you did. You have gotten wonderful advice here. Please keep posting (when you aren't working on your dissertation ) we will be here to support you in anyway we can.
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
The Garden, I'm so sorry if my comments hurt you. I would never intentionally hurt another, especially not a BS who has been through what you have been through. I wish you nothing but the brightest blessings.
And, I hope any polyamorous folks on SI who have been betrayed are taking a closer look at this lifestyle choice. i think it is often chosen as a supposed antidote to betrayal, and as we have seen from other polyamorous folks on SI, it is not free from the scourge of cheating.
I edit, therefore I am.
Two other things:
1) Just wanted to say that I am trying to take the "ignore the chummed waters" (and similar) advice to heart and have written myself a detailed plan for finishing the Ph.D., which I will be implementing tomorrow.
2) Regarding polyamoury - as I said before, I am in no emotional condition to have a comprehensive discussion about the pros and cons of polyamoury, and in any case am extremely negatively biased towards it because of my own issues so I couldn't even give the question a just treatment.
But I will say this about my own situation: yes, monogamous people cheat too. Polyamoury is no defense against betrayal of trust, and obviously neither is monogamy (my own self-professed monogamous husband, who wrote our very mono wedding vows all on his own, is the prime example). HOWEVER...the difference between the mono and poly people in my own personal situation right now is that my mono husband knew that what he had done was wrong and has been 100% remorseful since he stepped out of the affair fog. The poly people, on the other hand, used the poly norms they believe in to not only justify their own shitty behavior but deliberately and with malice to wound me more deeply by telling me I had psychological problems because the behavior I expected from my husband was not in line with their own personal beliefs about relationships. They are not only not remorseful, but firmly believe that I am the villain of the piece for being angry with them and my husband, and for enforcing marital and friendship boundaries consistent with monogamy. I realize that there are many single OWs and OM who feel no remorse either, and who attack and blame the BS in various ways, but in this case the primary (possibly even only) reason for that behavior is my OW's and OWH's subscription to polyamoury and their attachment to poly-related social norms.
This dynamic is especially painful for me as I thought I was being a good friend to them by being supportive of their lifestyle. In general I am pretty liberal and open-minded sexually, am supportive of other people's sexual choices in life, etc., and was totally ok with how they wanted to live their life. I sincerely believed that they were also supportive of our monogamous lifestyle and our marriage, but the email correspondence between OW and my husband, as well as OWH's behavior towards me in the aftermath of the affair makes it painfully clear that they were in fact secretly contemptous about our monogamy and the OW at least made a sincere effort to "convert" my husband during a time period she knew would be particularly vulnerable for us and when I would be distracted (not excusing his behavior in any way, he owns his own penis and could have said NO at any time, just saying she had her own agenda that was partially motivated and/or justified by her subscription to polyamoury).
My reading about polyamoury and poly beliefs subsequent to the affair has also convinced me that there are quite a few other poly people out there in the world who hold monogamy and monogamous relationships in secret or open contempt. I'm not saying that every poly person is like that (and I did read things suggesting that there are many poly people who would find what OW and OWH did utterly reprehensible). But there are enough of the secretly contemptous kind, and this experience has been so painful, that one of my deal-breaker conditions for reconciliation is "no more poly friends, period". It will be one of the primary conversations we have early on in relationships with other people from here on out. And like the poster above, I expect that some people will accuse me/us of being "closed-minded" or offensive or whatever, but like that poster also said, Meh. I would rather live with being closed-minded than expose my marriage to people who may be lying about respecting monogamy or actively trying to undermine other people's monogamous relationships behind the scenes. It's only 'friends of the marriage' from here on out, and I no longer consider people who live a poly lifestyle to be friends of the marriage, just by virtue of their beliefs about the value or importance of monogamy in general. I am sorry if this hurts feelings or offends, but it is now a necessary condition of my life.

While it's not the same as finishing a PhD, I had to "hold it together" for my kids after D-Day. It's hard, painful, and completely unfair. Really wish we could give you more than just words of encouragement.
Two steps forward and one step backwards, is still progress.
It has been kind of fun to play a closed-minded person on this thread, because there is no one in real life that would remotely view me that way. But, we do live and learn, and in my case I learned that there is not really much "fun" in dysfunctional.
After that, it's time to rid the waters of the chum or find another place to swim.

I'm losing my mind in a bedroom with a ghost
and I'm losing my mind in a bottle while I choke
I stayed years with you, no one knows (but I want them to).
Thought Industry
There are plenty of people who aren't uncomfortable with the boundaries in poly relationships. I am sure there maybe some "groups" of people you might not be comfortable around. Fundamentalist Christians, for instance.
Did I say I would ostracize, be mean, be cruel? No, if you were my neighbour I would be neighbourly, if I worked with you I would treat you as any other co-worker. If you posted on an infidelity board I would treat you as any other member posting on an infidelity board. I just don't see me and my FWH hanging out and doing stuff with poly couples. Doesn't mean I don't respect you and your choices. Doesn't mean I think polyamory should be outlawed and the people who live it are somehow evil or depraved.
I am truly sorry I hurt your feelings, Decade. I have read your posts. I even posted this:
A hug to the little boy that was abused and abandoned and to the wonderful man he grew up to be. ((((Decade))))

The pancreas is an oblong flat gland, about 6 inches long, located below the liver, deep in the abdomen, between the stomach and the spine. It is about as long as your hand in an irregular tube shape. The pancreas has 2 types of cells:
Endocrine. The endocrine cells make hormones like insulin and glucagon, along with other hormones that the pancreas makes. These 2 hormones work together to regulate the level of sugar in the blood.
Exocrine. The exocrine cells produce and secrete enzymes into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, where they break down protein, carbohydrates, and fat into simpler components that can be easily absorbed. There are 3 major classes of enzymes. The enzyme trypsin breaks proteins down into peptides and amino acids. Lipase breaks fats down into short-chain fatty acids that can be easily absorbed. Amylase breaks starches (complex carbohydrates) down into simple sugars.
In 1922, scientists discovered that a shortage of the hormone insulin is responsible for the disease called juvenile diabetes (now called type 1 diabetes). The source of insulin is none other than your pancreas.
Most of the time, the pancreas goes about its work quietly from its strategic location behind the stomach. But a relatively small number of people develop type 1 diabetes. The beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed in people with type 1 diabetes and the pancreas can't produce insulin. This condition usually occurs when the patient is a child or young adult — thus the earlier name, juvenile diabetes. Another form of diabetes, type 2, tends to occur in older people. It stems mainly from the body's inability to use insulin effectively. Early in the disease, the body may respond by producing excessively high levels of insulin, but eventually the beta islet cells of the pancreas tire out and fail to produce enough insulin.
Cystic fibrosis. In cystic fibrosis, an inherited genetic disorder, mucous plugs can block pancreatic enzymes from reaching the intestines. This leads to digestive problems, delayed growth, and fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies.
Pancreatitis. Another disease of the pancreas is pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas that can be painful. It can be acute (sudden) or chronic. The most common causes of acute pancreatitis are blockage of the pancreatic duct by a gallstone and excessive alcohol use. The most common cause of chronic pancreatitis in the United States is alcoholism.
Pancreatic cancer. Cancer of the pancreas is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Risks for pancreatic cancer include smoking, age, being male, having chronic pancreatitis, and exposure to some industrial chemicals. Most pancreatic cancers develop in the exocrine tissues of the pancreas. It is a very difficult cancer to detect in the early stages.
Pancreatic insufficiency. Pancreatic insufficiency is the inability of the pancreas to produce and/or secrete enough digestive enzymes to break down food in the small intestine. It typically occurs as a result of chronic pancreatic damage caused by cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis.

Gore Design targets both narrow and widebodies
Gore Design Completions (Booth No. 261) is riding the crest of demand for narrow- and widebody interior completion and refurbishment with deliveries of four aircraft in 2008, even as the doors open to take in new projects.
Since January, the San Antonio, Texas-based independent completion and refurbishment center has delivered two green Boeing Business Jets. The first delivery was also Gore's first BBJ and went to a U.S. customer.
It was quickly followed by delivery of a second green BBJ to an Asian customer and included an entertainment package with a 46-inch, high-definition monitor in all seats and Blu-ray DVD technology, as well as audio and video databases for each individual monitor. To enhance the cabin environment, LED wash lighting allows control of colors and light intensity.
An approved Airbus interiors shop for less than a year, Gore also delivered its first green Airbus A320 Prestige for a central Asian customer in early 2008. The delivery is the lead Airbus aircraft for two A340s expected to arrive this summer.
The A320 and the BBJ were two of three airplanes delivered to Asian customers. The third was a Boeing 767-300ER for a central Asian head of state.
Amid the delivery activities, Gore is also making room for additional projects, the first of which is a BBJ being completed for a Middle East customer and scheduled for delivery in mid-2009. It is the sixth green BBJ contract signed by Gore since 2006.
One of the most recently signed contracts is for major interior modification of a BBJ for a central Asian head of state. The airplane is due to arrive in July 2008. The reconfiguration will include a VIP stateroom and VIP lounge and conference area. Also part of the project is the addition of a standard economy passenger seating area.
Already in the 120,000-square-foot Gore hangar is a project for the redesign and partial refurbishment of an executive/VIP Airbus A340 for a Middle East head of state.
"We're pleased to add this project to the growing number of Airbus contracts we have been awarded in the past year," said Gore founder and CEO Jerry Gore.

This collection
(my favorite one this season) revisits the collective memory of Haute Couture ensemble and re-ensemble through periods, places and people. Such as recomposed relics and fabrics that have been transformed into a collection that blends the idea of love and memories worn proudly and passed to others that will later add another element from themselves.
Interesting the idea proposed for this season by the Maison Martin Margiela haute couture atelier to re-interpret old garments and transforming them from sample embroideries and ordinary items into new gorgeous pieces.
Maison Martin Margiela f/w 1991
The rhythm of fashion is historically fueled by the era we live in. No designer, critic or client can speed up, slow or change fashion's rhythm. Occasionally there is the rare designer whose antennae are higher than any other's, who is the first to receive the signals, and through fashion design actually anticipate world events, such as the political collapse of Eastern Europe and the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union.
A Belgian designer, Martin Margiela, working in Paris, showed such exceptional intuition with his early collections founded on the decontructivist movement. This season, he amputated many designs into separated pieces, such as a sweater castrated of its sleeves, and the upper torso severed from the ribcage, paralleling the amputation of the Baltic states from the Soviet Union.
-Bill Cunningham

Nadurra Scotch Whisky
Nadurra, Gaelic for natural, is the perfect way to describe The Glenlivet's Nadurra Scotch Whisky. Bottled at the strength, it leaves the cask after 16 long years of maturation in first ex-bourbon casks. Due to this method and being non-chill filtered a richer and full bodied taste is accomplished. While ordinary Scotch is sold at 40% ABV (80% Proof) and is cut down to this strength by the addition of water, Nadurra omits modern chill filtration to uniquely capture the original character of George Smith's Distillery: The pure expression of a great tradition. Nadurra is an exciting new addition to The Glenlivet range that is firmly rooted into the distillery's tradition and the craft of whisky making.

After more than 20,000 fans from 40 countries gathered together in Essen, Germany, for Star Wars Celebration Europe this weekend, one question remained on everyone's minds until the closing ceremonies this afternoon: When can we do this again?
Lucasfilm has confirmed that the next US-hosted official Star Wars Celebration, the 7th since 1999, would take place April 16-19, 2015, in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim Convention Center.
After Celebrations 5 and 6 took place in Orlando, Florida, in 2010 and 2012, it was time for a change of venue, as it was always meant to move around the country to different locales every few years. Previous Celebrations have taken place in Denver (1999), Indianapolis (2002 and 2005), and Los Angeles (2007). With the promise of new Star Wars films after the Disney acquisition late last year, this purposely-timed Star Wars Celebration will arrive a little more than a month before the expected premiere date of Star Wars Episode VII: Name Yet To Be Announced. It's location should not be a surprise either, as it will take place literally across the street from the Disneyland Resort.
For Star Wars fans across the globe, expect this event to be its biggest ever, chock-full of advanced footage of the new JJ Abrams directed film along with probably the most extensive gathering of cast and crew members from the films ever assembled in one place. Also expect exclusive toys, special panels with the casts, past and present, and probably a special event in Disneyland itself at some point during the weekend.
Tickets go on sale almost 2 years in advance of the event on AUGUST 7th, 2013!

About MeI've been writing about TV/media/radio for more than 20 years. I consider it the best beat in town, even better than covering the Reds. I grew up in Middletown, where I watched Cincinnati and Dayton TV. I don't have a formal education in broadcasting, like most TV viewers. After earning a journalism degree from Ohio University in 1975, I started at the Cincinnati Enquirer as a summer intern. I covered county government and the suburbs (including the arrival of cable TV), and later was the suburban editor and features section editor. In 1985, I returned to writing as TV critic. For many years, I attended TV press tours in Los Angeles to preview new fall shows and to visit TV studios. Some of my favorite stories are from going to the sets of "Seinfeld" "Raymond," "The West Wing," "Cheers," and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and interviewing George Clooney, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

This Japanese horror film is based on a traditional Japanese story, "Bokkee Kyotee", by Shimako Iwai. Supposedly this horror film has been banned from Japan by the mainstream media due to its gruesome scenes. Some say it's a traditional scary story, and some say its graphic depictions are impossible to forget. This was also a show on television, but Showtime thought the series was too disturbing to air. It also became the only tv series to remain un-aired in the United States, and is only available to watch online.
Currently waiting for the download to be completed… Woop woop, can't wait to watch this film and throw up watching the extremely unpleasant torture scenes.
El oh el.
imagine trying to take a shit while in the arena
like with cameras everywhere and the constant fear of being killed
and like what would happen if someone popped up and killed you mid poop
and you became known as the person who died mid poop during the hunger games

A baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy is considered premature. Slightly fewer than 12 percent of all babies are premature. Overall, the rate of premature births is rising, mainly due to the large numbers of multiple births in recent years. Twins and other multiples are about six times more likely to be premature than single birth babies. The rate of premature single births is slightly increasing each year. Other terms often used for prematurity are preterm and "preemie." Preterm generally refers to the pregnancy (as in preterm labor), while premature is more often used to describe your baby. Many premature babies also weigh less than 2,500 grams (5 .5 pounds) and may be referred to as low birthweight (LBW).
How Children's approaches prematurity
Children's is at the forefront of major research conducted on premature newborns. Children's was one of the first hospitals to use gene-chip analyses to study diseases in premature newborns. Additionally, our specialized Growth and Nutrition Program at Boston Children's Hospital is specifically designed to help children with poor growth and feeding difficulties. And our NICU is routinely ranked as one of the best in the country.
What causes prematurity?
There are many factors that come into play when a baby is born prematurely. Some directly cause early labor and birth, while others can make the mother or baby sick and require early delivery. The following factors may contribute to a premature birth:
Maternal factors:
Factors involving the pregnancy:
Factors involving the fetus:
Why is prematurity a concern?
Premature babies are born before their bodies and organ systems have completely matured. These babies are often small, with low birthweight (less than 5 pounds), and they may need help breathing, eating, fighting infection and staying warm. Very premature babies who are born before 28 weeks, are especially vulnerable. Many of their organs may not be ready for life outside the mother's uterus and may be too immature to function well.
Some of the problems premature babies may experience include:
How can I prevent prematurity?
Because of the tremendous advances in the care of sick and premature babies, more and more babies are surviving despite being born early and being very small. But prevention of early birth is the best way of promoting good health for babies.
Prenatal care is a key factor in preventing preterm births and low birthweight babies. At prenatal visits, the health of both mother and fetus can be checked. Because maternal nutrition and weight gain are linked with fetal weight gain and birthweight, eating a healthy diet and gaining weight in pregnancy are essential. Prenatal care is also important in identifying problems and lifestyles that can increase the risks for preterm labor and birth. Some ways to help prevent prematurity and to provide the best care for premature babies may include the following:
What are the characteristics of a premature baby?
These are the most common characteristics of a premature baby. However, your baby may show different characteristics of the condition. Characteristics may include:
Intensive care
Premature babies usually need care in a special nursery called the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Children's NICU combines advanced technology and specially trained doctors and nurses to care for the tiniest patients. Our NICU team is led by a neonatologist, who is a pediatrician with additional training in the care of sick and premature babies.
Corticosteroid medication
One of the most important parts of care for premature babies is a medication called a corticosteroid. Research has found that giving the mother a steroid medication at least 48 hours prior to delivery greatly reduces the incidence and severity of respiratory disease in your baby.
Another major benefit of steroid treatment is lessening of intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in your baby's brain). Although studies are not clear, prenatal steroids may also help reduce the incidence of NEC and PDA. Mothers may be given steroids when preterm birth is likely between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Before that time, or after, the medication usually isn't effective.
Care of premature babies may also include:
When can a premature baby go home from the hospital?
Your baby will likely need time to "catch up" in her development and growth. In the hospital, this catch-up time may involve learning to eat and sleep, as well as steadily gaining weight. Depending on her condition, your baby may need to stay in the hospital until they she reaches the mother's due date.
General goals for discharge may include:
Before you leave the hospital, your baby will need an eye examination and hearing test to check for problems related to prematurity.
Even though they are otherwise ready for discharge, some babies continue to have special needs, such as extra oxygen or tube feedings. With instruction and the right equipment, these babies are often able to be cared for at home by parents. Our social workers can help coordinate discharge plans when special care is needed.
Ask your physician about a "trial run" overnight stay in a parenting room at the hospital before your baby is discharged. This can help you adjust to caring for your baby while doctors and nurses are nearby for help and reassurance. You may also feel more confident taking their baby home when they have been given instructions in infant CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and infant safety.
Premature infants and ventilators
Premature babies often need to be placed on ventilators, but these life-saving machines can sometimes damage their delicate lungs. In recent experiments in mice, stem cells taken from bone marrow and injected into the blood provided partial protection: the lungs' blood vessels were better maintained and inflammation was reduced.
Even when fluid in which the cells (known as bone marrow stromal cells) were grown was able to protect the lungs - in fact, better than the stem cells themselves. Stella Kourembanas, MD, chief of Children's Division of Newborn Medicine, believe this fluid, or certain proteins her lab has isolated within it, could become a future treatment to prevent preemies from developing chronic lung disease. She would also like to conduct follow-up experiments using stem cells taken from the umbilical cord, which can be obtained from infants in a less invasive manner than bone marrow cells.
Muhammad Aslam, MD, and Rajiv Baveja, MD, also of Newborn Medicine, were first authors on the study, published in the December 1 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Other members of the research team include Olin Liang, PhD, Angeles Fernandez-Gonzalez, PhD, Changjin Lee, PhD, and Alex Mitsialis, PhD.
Memantine and infant brains
Up to 35 percent of babies who survive prematurity are left with brain damage leading to cerebral palsy and cognitive/behavioral deficits. Now, neuroscientist Frances Jensen, MD, with Simon Manning, MD and Delia Talos, MD in the Department of Neurology and the Neurobiology Program, reports that memantine (Namenda), a drug originally developed for Alzheimer's disease, may reduce the damage.
For more than a decade, Jensen and others at Children's have shown that premature newborns rapidly developing brains have unique characteristics that not only heighten their vulnerability to hypoxia-ischemia (a common complication of prematurity that compromises the brains blood and oxygen supply), but also prevent these infants from responding to existing neurologic drugs. But Jensen has been finding new targets unique to the newborn brain—as well as drugs that can hit them, some of them already FDA-approved.
Now, in the June 25 Journal of Neuroscience, Jensen's team shows that preterm infants oligodendrocytes, the cells that form the brains white matter, are especially rich in NMDA receptors, a type of glutamate receptor. After a hypoxic-ischemic insult, glutamate builds up and can over-activate NMDA receptors, producing a pattern of white-matter injury known as periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), the most common cause of cerebral palsy.
However, working with a rat model of PVL, Jensen and colleagues found that giving memantine—which acts by blocking the NMDA receptor—significantly reduced white-matter injury after a hypoxic-ischemic insult. Back in the 1990s, Children's participated in memantines development as a treatment for Alzheimers disease. Now, if Jensen can establish the drugs safety in premature newborns, she wants to test it as a protective therapy.
Prematurity and autism
Extremely premature infants are known to have a high prevalence of learning disabilities, attention and behavioral problems. Premature infants born at less than 3.3 pounds have an increased risk for showing early signs of autistic characteristics, according to a Boston Children's Hospital study. "Early screening for autistic features might be warranted in this population," says researcher Catherine Limperopoulos, PhD, who cautions against drawing conclusions. "By no means are we suggesting all premature babies are at risk for autism.

What have we learned here today? If you let your child play Grand Theft Auto, he or she will either crash a car, get tasered(in the butt hole), or get kidnapped by unsuspected women kidnappers.
Also, YES, we all know Grand Theft Auto is NOT an RPG. And you all should not let me get away with representing a non-RPG with multiple outcomes again. But if you did like these endings, Masao helped come up with them. He's brilliant.

Telangana, Tamil fishermens' plight in Sri Lanka force Lok Sabha to adjourn for the day, Rajya Sabha till 2 p.m.
The issue of Telangana statehood continued to mar proceedings in Parliament for the second consecutive day on Thursday, forcing the Lok Sabha to adjourn for the day, while the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 p.m.
Earlier, both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned till noon, following an uproar over several issues, including Telangana and the plight of Tamil fishermen.
As soon as the Lok Sabha met for the day, several anti-Telangana members trooped into the Well of the House holding placards and shouting slogans like 'Save Andhra'.
They were joined by members of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), who demanded justice for Tamil fishermen languishing in Sri Lankan jails.
Speaker Meira Kumar repeatedly appealed to the members to maintain calm to allow for the smooth conduct of the House. As her pleas went unheeded, she had to adjourn proceedings till Friday.
Similar scenes were witnessed in Rajya Sabha.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealed to all sections in Parliament to cooperate with the government in passing important legislations.
"This is probably the last session of the parliament, and, this my sincere appeal to all sections of the House to contribute to creating the feeling and atmosphere thereby this session will go down in history as an historic session," Dr. Singh told media here.
"We have important pieces of legislation ready for approval by parliament and I sincerely hope that parliament will create an environment with all sections of the House can work together to pass these bills," he said.
"Well, I think, these are hiccups (Telangana), I hope all sections of the house will have wisdom to set aside prejudices and create an atmosphere conducive to the harmonious working of House," he added.
As many as 39 bills, including the Telangana bill and six anti-corruption legislations, will be taken up during the session.
The session, convened mainly for the passage of the Vote-on-Account and interim Railway Budget, will have 12 sittings between the 5th and the 21st of this month.
Crucial legislations like Communal Violence Bill, Disability Bill, Women's Reservation Bill and other bills passed by one of the two Houses are also listed for passage during the session.

But all those good feelings and holiday cheer evaporated in the Los Angeles area over the weekend. The Cougars (0-2,8-7) fell hard to a pair of supposed lower-tier West Coast Conference teams, Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine.
What has happened to coach Dave Rose's team?
"That's something we would like to know," said reserve forward Josh Sharp.
The Cougars didn't just lose to the Lions (2-0, 10-4) and Waves (2-0,9-5), they lost badly — save a late comeback against Pepperdine that showed the team still has some fight in it, but can't make the free throws and clutch plays down the stretch when it really needs to have them.
These weren't fluky, last-second losses. The Cougars had the lead for only 52 seconds in Saturday's 87-76 loss at LMU and for just 43 seconds in Monday's 80-74 loss at Pepperdine.
That's it. They trailed LMU by as many as 21 points and Pepperdine by as many as 13.
"Right now, their confidence is obviously down," said Rose.
That's the easy explanation, but even Rose acknowledges there is a lot more to it than that.
"We have got a lot of issues," he said after the LMU loss.
Team chemistry is one of those things that is difficult to quantify, but the Cougars seem to suddenly lack it, after talking in October about their heightened sense of togetherness with no seniors on the roster.
They had just 28 assists on 55 field goals on the road trip.
Forced into halfcourt games — which is not their strength — by conference foes who obviously had them well-scouted, the Cougars have been relying too much on individual play and not enough on teamwork. Rose preaches giving up a good shot for a better one, but the Cougars rushed too much over the weekend.
Shot selection was suspect, but Rose said Monday night he wasn't displeased with any of the 11 3-pointers the Cougars attempted against Pepperdine. They made one, by Anson Winder with 23 seconds remaining, to extend their streak of having made at least one 3-pointer in a game to 561 games.
That's another issue. The Cougars were outscored 63-12 from the 3-point line and attempted 21 treys in the two games, while their opponents took 41.
In 15 games, BYU has attempted 216 3-pointers and watched foes throw up 381.
"We need more consistent good play from more players," Rose said. "We keep getting our big guys in foul trouble, so we're juggling those things back and forth. Those are all issues we need to get home and practice [for] and get some confidence."
The Cougars' next three games are at the Marriott Center, beginning Saturday (7 p.m., BYUtv) against San Diego. The Toreros, BYU's travel partner, also lost to Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount on Saturday and Monday.

Your puppy has an ancestor in deadly wolf!
The pretty dog at your home was domesticated among wolf-like ancestors - and not early farmers - between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago, a new research has found.
"Dog domestication is more complex than we originally thought," said Adam Freedman, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the lead author of the study.
The team generated the highest-quality genome sequences to date from three gray wolves - one each from China, Croatia and Israel - representing three regions where dogs are believed to have originated.
They also produced genomes for two dog breeds - basenji, a hunting breed originated in central Africa, and dingo from Australia - both areas that have been historically isolated from modern wolf populations.
The analysis showed that dogs seem to have descended from an older, wolf-like ancestor - common to both species.
The study debunks the popular story that early farmers adopted a few docile, friendly wolves that later became our beloved, modern-day companions.
"Instead, the earliest dogs may have first lived among hunter-gatherer societies and adapted to agricultural life later," said John Novembre, associate professor at University of Chicago and a senior author on the study.
But regardless of geographic origin, dogs are more closely related to one another than wolves, said the study published in the journal PLoS Genetics.
According to the research, domestication resulted in significant reduction in historical population sizes of both early dogs and wolves.
"Now we have a much more detailed picture than existed before, and it's a somewhat surprising picture," said Novembre.

Sockeye Bag Limit Returns to Three
On Monday, the bag limit for Russian River sockeye will return to three as the Early Run transitions into Late Run management.
As of July 9, 34,091 reds had escaped, falling neatly within the escapement goal of 22,000-42,000 Early Run Sockeye Salmon. At the same time last year, only 23,542 fish had gone through.
On June 21 this year, Department biologists were concerned that the 25,803 fish already up the river would overwhelm the system. To give some context, only 6,068 had been through as of the same date in 2012.
To curb the influx, the Department doubled the bag limit to 6. Since the Early Run finishes as of July 14, ADF&G biologists said they're now moving back to normal restrictions.

MUMBAI: Unlike the Punjabi music industry that has gone all out to promote their music, the regional music space is waiting to be exploited. The concluding panel discussion on day one of Nokia Music Connects 5 (NMC) was 'The Regional Music Story' moderated by the founder Radioandmusic.com and CEO of Indiantelevision.com Anil Wanvari and panelists for the same were Meshi Creations Pvt Ltd CEO Dewal Prashar and Sony music Punjab head Pawanesh Pajnu.
Pajnu said, "We are very careful when it comes to picking up the content. The content that is international are penned in a way that suits the tastes of the rural based consumers of music."
Pajnu presented the unexpected side of the industry. He said, "Many lyricists in the Punjabi music industry are producers. Most of the lyricists know the market and have an idea of what kind of content works. He specified that non-film music is driven by these lyricists who are also producers.
Pajnu and Prashar both agreed to the fact that there is a need to create that cater to urban and rural Punjabi speaking population. "We want to make music for everyone."
Punjabi music industry is not limited to India but is spread across the US, UK and Australia. The discussion also touched the Punjabi film industry. In 2013, the film industry made 436 crore business.
They are even optimistic that Punjabi artistes might someday become face of Indian music industry. Artistes like Diljit Dosanjh and Gippy Grewal have become well-known actors in the Punjabi music industry.

The magic seed. Like popular superfruits, chia seeds are considered a "super" food because they pack maximum nutrients with minimal calories. A single 1 tablespoon serving has just 60 calories. Chia seeds are loaded with fiber, omega fatty acids, calcium, antioxidants and protein, making them a perfect addition to any healthy diet.

"/would definitely go back to Casa Camper!"
Outstanding service! Perfect room (3 rooms in 1) Staff made everything easy, from booking tickets to showing the best way to get from place to place. Lovely breakfast included. Perfectly located just off Ramblis & convenirnt to most places of interest. Would definitely stay here if I return to Barcelona. Nice, homey atmosphere created by warm,friendly […] staff.

"Unbelievable hotel in great location"
Casa Camper was truly amazing. Definitely worth the stay. Staff is also awesome and very attentive and response to customers as needed. The hotel setup is pretty cool too with a separate room & lounge area (with a hammock to boot). Great way to chill if room is either getting cleaned or someone wants to sleep and another watch TV. 24hr snack area is […] also a great plus with fresh food all day being replenished.

"a fabulous hotel experience"
My wife, I and our young son recently stayed at Casa Camper in Barcelona. We had a wonderful time. The location is fantastic -- in the El Raval area right beside La Rambla. The hotel is planned in detail, we found our suite to be thoughtfully designed and equipped. The hammock was a great touch! The lounge area downstairs is always stocked with snacks […] and water and is very helpful. The kitchen staff were tremendous - cooking up pancakes and sausages for our son even though the kitchen had closed after breakfast and we were late. The best part of our stay was the ever-smiling and efficient hospitality of the staff -- Fernanda, Leo, Wim and so many others. We intend to go back and stay here again.

"Casa Camper Barcelona- heart of Las Ramblas"
Excellent hotel near busy Las Ramblas. Great hotel with excellent staff to assist in all ways. Would stay again. Walking distance to many attractionsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Unique and convenient, but not cheap"
I recently stayed at the Casa Camper Hotel Barcelona on my honeymoon. First of all, there are some unique qualities to this hotel. While it is not a budget hotel, your first impression is that it looks a little bit like a high end hostel. This is because the cafeteria space and kitchen is essentially the lobby of the hotel. But once you are informed […] that all food and drinks taken from this cafeteria are included in the price of the hotel, everything looks a lot better. And surprisingly, the food options they offer are of fairly high quality. I stayed in the suite on the 5th floor, so my experience is of a slightly larger room than what is normal. In the suite there was a TV/living room where there was a significant collection of foreign television stations, MTV, and pay movie channels. Oddly, local Spanish TV was not really part of the mix in this hotels TV options. Next to the living room was a bedroom with a full size or queen size bed (I cannot recall exactly) and next to that is a large bathroom with a traditional tub/shower set up not unlikely one you'd find in the US (which was a bit of a surprise for Europe). The location of the hotel was great. It was about a 5 minute walk from Las Ramblas, which makes it close enough to the main drag, but far enough so that you don't have tons of people walking by ALL the time. The staff was very helpful and there is free internet access. They also have a nice counter where you can buy some alcohol items, but it cannot be described as a bar. There is also bike rental, which we did not take advantage of. There is also a rooftop lounge with a decent view from above. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
WONDERFUL HOTEL TO STAY. STAFF EXCELLENT SO HELPFULL WHEN AGAIN IN BARCELONA WOULD'NT STAY ANYWHERE ELSE.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Superb !!"
Probably the best city centre hotel we have stayed at in Europe. Wonderful location, close to the main city centre but an oasis of calm. Tremendous staff, so friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Loved the 24/7 snacks and a great breakfast to start each day. Beautifully equiped room, although we never used the sitting area, which was superfluous […] to our needs. Our only tiny niggle was that we found the room a little dark. Highly recommended Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Super Hotel mit speziellem Charakter"
Wir können dieses Hotel nur wärmstens empfehlen, da es in jeder Hinsicht speziell, d.h. anders ist als die üblichen Touristenhotels in der Lage. Im übrigen gibt es einen sehr persönlichen Service, der zum rundum Wohlfühlen einlädt. Die Zimmer bestehen aus zwei getrennten Teilen, sehr originell und überraschend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
