Evening ReadingI received word today that the publisher of a fairly high profile video game due out shortly plans to handle pre-release reviews with an event. These "review events" give me great cause for concern, but not for the reason you might immediately think. Anyone at the level in the business to make the invite list for one of these things is well above the threshold of remotely being able to be bought off.
No, ironically, the real loser out of these deals is the game. On a AAA game--particularly of the sort prone to get the review event treatment--hundreds of people have worked months and months, often stretching into years, to create the game. In fact, on many of these games the last few months all those people will have been playing the game over and over, tweaking this and adjusting that to carefully craft the final experience.
And then it gets handed to a reviewer and the clock started on the brief few hours they are afforded at the event to play the game. Who does this sound like a good idea to? Wouldn't you want the person critiquing the game to have ample time to enjoy that content at their pace? On top of that, I can't count how many times I've gone back to a game while working on a review to replay a section or try something different or just double-check my impression from the first time through. And don't invoke the piracy defense because any outlet for which that would be a concern opens a much bigger issue to be addressed.
Tl;dr -- game review events are bad for all involved.
Now here are the top stories from today's video game news on the Shack:
- Double Fine's Next Game Takes You to Sesame Street
- Felicia Day Writing, Starring in Dragon Age Web Series
- Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Coming to PC in March
- Duke Nukem Forever Uses Steamworks on PC
- Crysis 2 Trailer Tells a Story

Portal 2 Packs PC-PS3 Cross-platform Play & ChatAfter announcing in June 2010 that the PlayStation 3 edition of Portal 2 would support Steamworks, developer Valve today revealed exactly what that will entail--it's jolly nice.
Portal 2 on PS3 will support cross-platform multiplayer and chat with the PC and Mac releases, plus cloud-based saved game storage. As if that weren't exciting enough, you'll also get a free SteamPlay version of the game for PC and Mac.
"We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 would be the best console version of the product," said Valve co-founder Gabe Newell. "Working together with Sony we have identified a set of features we believe are very compelling to gamers. We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases."
"We designed the Portal 2 PS3 experience to be very straightforward for gamers," Portal 2 project lead Josh Weier explained. "PS3 gamers will be able to simply drop the Blu-Ray disc in the PS3, link to their Steam account from inside the game, and all their Steam friends (on PC and Mac) will be visible and accessible for chat and game invites."
Portal 2 is slated to launch for PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 20, having been delayed a wee bit. It'll be distributed at retail by EA Partners. And, yes, there will be another Jonathan Coulton song for you to grind into dust with constant repetition.

"The Daily Show" host creates LetsBuyCNN.com, a mock Kickstarter site that seeks to buy one of Time Warner's jewels.
A user posts a fake news piece to CNN's iReport news hub. It stays live for 22 hours before someone realizes it must surely not be true.

Love this dress! I wore this dress for my friend's wedding, I was a bridesmaid. This was the 2nd dress we tried on, and everyone loved it! It's really comfortable yet looks pretty at the same time. My friend got married on the beach, and we got the dresses in the color guava. Everyone looked so nice and we all got compliments on the dresses and color! It's a really great dress and not too fancy so I could actually wear it again to another event. I would definitely recommend this! August 13, 2013
I wore this as a MOH dress for my best friends wedding and then again for a company event, each time I've had countless compliments. It's durable, comfortable and it's deep, rich plum color is beautiful. The pockets are genius and so convenient. Over all the quality of the dress is absolutely worth it.

Cute! I bought this for my friend and bridesmaid, but she is a size 0 and the smallest is a 2. It was perfect other than it had to be altered a bunch to fit her. It looked lovely! I told my bridesmaids to each pick a dress any style they felt comfortable in--we made sure they were all the same color. I love the mix and match way they looked. I got so many compliments on how lovely the Sangria color looked. Each person was able to go to David's Bridal in their hometown and get a dress. At the last minute, a bridesmaid became ill, I was able to get a dress for a replacement bridesmaid in the right color. David's Bridal was able to find a dress the night before and have it altered hours before the wedding began. May 13, 2013

Localized Prostate Cancer Deaths Remain Low After
20 Years
The death rate in patients with localized prostate cancer remained stable and low after more than 20 years of follow-up, a large retrospective study reported in the May 3 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The study is based on a risk analysis of 767 men in the Connecticut Tumor Registry (CTR) diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1971 and 1984 and treated by either observation or delayed androgen withdrawal. "Men with low-grade prostate cancers have a minimal risk of dying from prostate cancer during 20 years of follow-up," note the researchers, who were led by Dr. Peter C. Albertsen of the University of Connecticut Health Center.The study updates and confirms the authors' initial report published in 1998 on the same patient cohort. "Because these men have been followed continuously by the CTR, we had an opportunity to extend our follow-up to 20 years to determine whether prostate cancer mortality rates declined, remained constant, or increased after 15 years," the researchers explain.

Cancer Centers: Providing Leadership and New Opportunities
Yesterday marked the second annual retreat of National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center directors. The retreat provides a forum for NCI leaders to brief the directors on important NCI initiatives, and for an open and honest dialogue on the national cancer program.
Just like the inaugural retreat last spring, this year's retreat was gratifying and educational. It allowed NCI leaders to better understand the complexity of the challenges facing Cancer Centers, as well as the breadth of the opportunities before us.
As the recent special issue of the Cancer Bulletin described, NCI-designated Cancer Centers have evolved into the core of the national cancer program. The majority of individual R01 and P01 awards, for example, go to researchers at NCI-designated Cancer Centers, as do the majority of funds for training grants and Specialized Programs of Research Excellence.

Localized Prostate Cancer Deaths Remain Low After 20 Years
The death rate in patients with localized prostate cancer remained stable and low after more than 20 years of follow-up, a large retrospective study reported in the May 3 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The study is based on a risk analysis of 767 men in the Connecticut Tumor Registry (CTR) diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1971 and 1984 and treated by either observation or delayed androgen withdrawal. "Men with low-grade prostate cancers have a minimal risk of dying from prostate cancer during 20 years of follow-up," note the researchers, who were led by Dr. Peter C. Albertsen of the University of Connecticut Health Center.
The study updates and confirms the authors' initial report published in 1998 on the same patient cohort. "Because these men have been followed continuously by the CTR, we had an opportunity to extend our follow-up to 20 years to determine whether prostate cancer mortality rates declined, remained constant, or increased after 15 years," the researchers explain.
The prostate cancer death rate among the patient cohort was 33 per 1,000 person-years during the first 15 years and 18 per 1,000 person-years after 15 years of follow-up. These rates were not statistically different after adjusting for the more favorable histology profiles among men who survived more than 15 years from diagnosis. "The annual mortality rate from prostate cancer appears to remain stable after 15 years from diagnosis, which does not support aggressive treatment for localized, low-grade prostate cancer," the researchers conclude.
The authors contrasted their findings with a similar, Swedish long-term follow-up study published in JAMA on June 9, 2004. That study of 223 men with localized prostate cancer diagnosed between 1977 and 1984 found an unexpected and substantial three-fold increase in mortality rates from prostate cancer among men who were alive 15 years after diagnosis.
One factor that may contribute to this difference, the researchers suggest, is that the Swedish study classified prostate tumors using the World Health Organization grading system. Patients in the Connecticut study were classified using Gleason scores. The two grading systems "are based on fundamentally different criteria and may result in different classifications, especially among men with moderately differentiated disease," say the researchers.
Among the Connecticut patients with low Gleason scores (2-4), there were 6 deaths per 1,000 person-years, after a median observation period of 24 years. In contrast, those with high Gleason scores (8-10) had a "high probability of dying from prostate cancer within 10 years of diagnosis," - 121 deaths per 1,000 person years, the researchers report.
Dr. Howard L. Parnes, chief of NCI's Prostate and Urologic Cancer Research Group, concurred with Dr. Gann that the patient cohort in the Connecticut study is very different from many patients seen today after the advent of widespread prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the 1990s. Most of the Connecticut patients were found to have prostate cancer based upon transurethral resection of the prostate, Dr. Parnes noted. "On the other hand," he said, "in the PSA era, high-grade disease is likely to have a better prognosis than previously, because we are now more likely to find high-grade disease when it is smaller volume and confined to the prostate than we did in the pre-PSA era."

Cancer Centers: Providing Leadership and New Opportunities
Yesterday marked the second annual retreat of National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center directors. The retreat provides a forum for NCI leaders to brief the directors on important NCI initiatives, and for an open and honest dialogue on the national cancer program.
Just like the inaugural retreat last spring, this year's retreat was gratifying and educational. It allowed NCI leaders to better understand the complexity of the challenges facing Cancer Centers, as well as the breadth of the opportunities before us.
As the recent special issue of the Cancer Bulletin described, NCI-designated Cancer Centers have evolved into the core of the national cancer program. The majority of individual R01 and P01 awards, for example, go to researchers at NCI-designated Cancer Centers, as do the majority of funds for training grants and Specialized Programs of Research Excellence.
Given their many strengths, I believe it's vitally important to expand Cancer Centers' sphere of influence. To achieve that end, we are following a two-pronged strategy: continuing to provide opportunities for Cancer Centers to excel as individual institutions serving large, diverse communities, while also working to integrate the work of these state-of-the-art institutions so that the whole of the Cancer Centers Program is greater than the sum of its parts.
Evidence of the latter can be seen in the technology initiatives such as the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, molecular imaging, and nanotechnology, all of which take advantage of Cancer Centers' acumen in research and forming partnerships and, consequently, are enhancing the capacity of technologies to speed us toward the molecular oncology era.
Our goal is to integrate Cancer Centers into all of NCI's strategic initiatives. Cancer Centers provide remarkable infrastructures and are often centers of technological and scientific excellence. As a result, they offer, for example, ideal backdrops for the initiatives between the Food and Drug Administration and NCI aimed at improving the development process for new cancer drugs and diagnostics.
As we anticipate the official release in June of recommendations from the Clinical Trials Working Group - a group that included a number of Cancer Center representatives - center directors voiced optimism about the role their institutions will play in reshaping the clinical trials process to accelerate progress in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
An area in which I believe Cancer Centers can have a dramatic impact involves disparities in cancer care and outcomes. As many center directors stressed during the retreat, addressing these disparities is absolutely critical if we are to achieve the 2015 goal, and many Cancer Centers have the expertise and established community networks needed for this line of research.
Cancer Centers' involvement is not relegated to domestic initiatives. They are providing important training to international researchers and clinicians, often through programs run by the NCI Office of International Affairs. In many instances, this involves hospital-based training on the latest cancer treatment techniques, allowing oncologists from around the world to improve cancer care in their countries.
Cancer Centers are leaders in the effort to eliminate the suffering and death due to cancer. They have the power to influence and transform cancer research and care at every level. In fact, I see the Cancer Centers Program as a model for creating change across the health care system - a model that NCI can nurture and guide, not via a cancer-centric approach, but rather a cancer-led approach that delivers on the promise of the cancer community's expertise, strength, and commitment to life and good health.

Cancer Epigenetics: Beyond Genetic Mutations
Genetic mutations often get much of the credit for causing cancer, but another important factor is genes that turn on or off at the wrong times, despite being free of mutations. This abnormal gene activity often involves "epigenetic" changes to DNA and in some cases may be reversible.
Epigenetic changes alter gene activity without modifying the genetic code, and are essential to normal development. But the changes can cause problems if they occur when they shouldn't or disable genes that suppress tumors and control growth.
Studies have suggested that epigenetic changes may be as common in some tumor cells as genetic mutations, and many researchers now say that epigenetic changes are critical to understanding, detecting, and treating cancer.
"If you focus only on genetic mutations and ignore epigenetic changes in tumor cells, you may be missing half of the information you need to understand the disease," says Dr. Stephen Baylin of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
A recent study led by Dr. Andrew Feinberg, also of Johns Hopkins, suggests that epigenetic changes in normal tissue can create the perfect environment for cancer to develop if genetic mutations arise later.
Dr. Feinberg's team studied mice with an epigenetic defect found in 30 percent of colon cancer patients and 10 percent of the general population. In people and in mice, the defect causes elevated levels of a cancer-related protein: insulin-like growth factor 2.
According to findings published in the March 25 Science, the flaw did not cause colon cancer in the mice, but it significantly increased the risk among mice that also carried a genetic mutation associated with the disease.
"The idea is that epigenetic and genetic factors may cooperate in causing tumors," says Dr. Feinberg. "We may therefore want to think about what sorts of epigenetic changes might occur in normal tissue that set the stage for mutations that come along later."
To identify epigenetic changes that confer cancer risk, researchers first need to know which changes are normal. This presents a challenge because unlike genetic code, epigenetic changes are dynamic and vary by cell type, age, and sex, among other factors.
The most commonly observed epigenetic change is DNA methylation, in which chemicals called methyl groups attach to DNA, often silencing a nearby gene. DNA methylation can be detected in body fluids such as blood and urine, and new technologies can rapidly scan genomes for epigenetic changes.
Perhaps the most exciting prospect for the field is the potential for detecting epigenetic changes linked to cancer and then doing something about them.
"We cannot reverse genetic mutations, but there is the hope and the potential for reversing epigenetic changes," says Dr. Mukesh Verma of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. "That's why interest in epigenetics is so high right now."
At least a dozen drugs that target epigenetic changes such as methylation are in clinical trials and more are in development. Last May, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a methylation inhibitor to treat the rare bone marrow disorder myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which can lead to leukemia.
The drug, azacitidine (Vidaza), had nearly been abandoned two decades ago but found new life as researchers showed that it helps MDS patients when given at low doses.
Diet and certain nutrients such as folic acid may also have an effect on epigenetic changes. An NCI-sponsored clinical trial is evaluating folic acid as a tool for preventing colon cancer, and the researchers will be documenting certain epigenetic changes in participants.
"Our diets may alter epigenetic information over the course of many years, but right now we know very little about the effects of diet on epigenetic changes in the long term," comments Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Similarly, Dr. Issa adds, the links between aging and epigenetic changes are important but poorly understood: "We need to develop a better understanding of the epigenome and its interactions with environmental exposures if we hope to understand age-related diseases."
Two collaborative pilot projects on epigenetics are underway in Europe, and there have been discussions about a U.S.-led effort analogous to the Human Genome Project. A meeting on the subject, sponsored by the American Association for Cancer Research, will take place near Washington, D.C., in June.

Why Is This Trial Important?
In this phase I trial, researchers are testing a new drug called CC8490 in patients with progressive or recurrent malignant gliomas. In preclinical studies, CC8490 inhibited the growth of glioma cells and induced glioma cell death. This trial will determine the maximum dose of CC8490 that can be given to patients and will assess the safety and tolerability of this drug. Additionally, researchers hope to determine the mechanism by which CC8490 affects glioma cells.
"Years ago, doctors observed that the antiestrogen drug tamoxifen occasionally causes regression of glioma tumors, even though those tumors do not possess estrogen receptors," said Dr. Fine. "Consequently, NCI screened many compounds called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) that had tamoxifen-like activity. CC8490 is one SERM that showed very strong antiglioma activity.
"With this trial, we are trying to determine the highest dose we can give to patients so that we can maximize the antitumor effect of the treatment," Dr. Fine said. "So far, we have initiated five dose escalations and the drug appears to be very well tolerated.
"We think CC8490 may represent a potentially promising new approach to treatment of recurrent malignant glioma."

Science Writers' Seminar Focuses on Childhood Cancers
Dr. Alan Wayne, clinical director of NCI's Pediatric Oncology Branch, reported on genetic techniques that allow doctors to predict which children are at risk for relapse and might benefit from aggressive treatments. Dr. Wayne also eulogized Killian Owen, who several years ago was the first child to take the targeted drug BL22 for acute lymphocytic leukemia. Although Killian died in August 2003 at age 9, researchers are using medical information from his case in their studies of BL22 and newer versions of that drug. "Killian was an inspiration to know, and he lives on through the studies now underway," Dr. Wayne said.

Patient Navigator Program Guides Underserved Cancer Patients
Much of the research about the causes of cancer health disparities identifies lack of access as a primary factor. People from difficult socioeconomic circumstances often do not know where to go or who to turn to - and in many cases, do not have the resources - to respond appropriately when they receive a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, people live in isolated communities 100 miles or more from the nearest clinic or hospital. One approach to closing this access gap is NCI's Patient Navigator Research Program, which relies on personal guides to shepherd disadvantaged cancer patients into standard care.
The Patient Navigator Program assigns guides to help cancer patients and their families navigate the treatment process, steering them around obstacles that may limit their access to quality care. They help the patient choose a doctor, arrange transportation, assess treatment options, and see that the patient follows the prescribed care regimen.
Patient navigators can be social workers, nurses, or volunteers who are familiar with the health care system and the cancer care process. Their goal is to ensure that cancer patients from disadvantaged backgrounds get high-quality treatment; patient navigators can make the difference between these patients becoming cancer survivors or dying from the disease.
The Patient Navigator Program is part of a group of initiatives that NCI developed to address cancer health disparities. Variations on the program are in place in several communities, and NCI is expanding the program through a new series of grants. About $24 million in grants will be awarded over the next 5 years as part of the program.
NCI supports a number of Patient Navigator Program pilot projects in minority communities: two in Native American communities at Indian Health Service sites in the Portland, Ore., area and one each in Rapid City, S.D., and Laredo, Tex., the latter of which serves 50 "colonias," communities that are home to an extremely poor segment of the Hispanic population, as well as sites in Mississippi, North Carolina, California, and Pennsylvania.
Recently, NCI held a workshop designed to enhance navigators' knowledge about clinical trials. In the 3-day workshop on April 10-13 in Bethesda, Md., patient navigators from NCI-funded projects across the country participated in sessions dealing with the clinical trials process and how to assess trials for their respective communities.
The patient navigator concept was developed by Dr. Harold Freeman, director of NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. Dr. Freeman developed the concept when he served as director of surgery at Harlem Hospital in New York City. Dr. Freeman found that the program was successful in saving lives and educating the larger population about cancer prevention and treatment.
"Receiving a cancer diagnosis is traumatic, even though there is more hope today for cancer patients than at any other time," says Dr. Freeman. "But to be faced with that news and to also lack the resources, knowledge, and confidence to follow through appropriately to get quality care is a tragedy. For these patients, patient navigators are a true lifeline."

Bussey Lake, or Bussey Brake as it's locally known, is a 2200 acre body of water sitting in a cotton field in Morehouse Parish. Until recently, the lake was owned by International Paper Company which needed lake water for the paper manufacturing process.
The mill was shut down a few years ago and the water was no longer needed. In a benevolent gesture, the company donated the lake to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to be utilized by the public. The only problem is the lake is a "gar hole" literally.

"I really liked how sturdy the card is on its own. Although on my computer screen the colors are distinctively light blue, when I received this item I felt that the shade was closer to an aquamarine green. No biggie, I liked them just the same. I do wish I could have changed the "thanks" for "thank you," as I think it's slightly more formal. Having the option to change the top and bottom wording was really nice. I can honestly say I recommend this product."
"Given the colors of the text, I chose to use a black and white photo of my son, and the finished product looks great. The design came out just as I hoped it would. The note card is sturdy - I'm sure it will hold up well in the mail. As someone who likes to display the cards she gets, I know a card like this would hold up well on a refrigerator, cork board, etc."
"I think this card fit exactly what I wanted. Nothing to flashy, but perfect to express our thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us. Love the idea of it!"
"Overall I am happy with this card. I was happy to be able to customize it- I wanted to make more generalized cards that I could send out- not just thank you cards so I asked the designer in the live chat. I was able to change the wording on the card as well as the colors. The design turned out perfect. I wish the print quality of my picture was better- it doesn't list anywhere that the picture needed to be a certain resolution size or pixel."
"This card was more beautiful in person. The colors are bright and cheery. I'm using them as thank you cards for presents for our new baby and have received many compliments."

Tips & Tricks. Ideas & Inspiration. Resources for Scrapbookers.
Journaling: Continuing along scenic route 169, here is what you can expect to see. There are classic New England countryside vistas in store as you travel through Pomfret. You will pass by the beautiful campus of Pomfret School along the way. The photos at left were taken in the summer, in the fall, the campus is awash with vibrant color as seen in in the photo above.
Tip: To help the text stand out, I created a "vellum" rectangle behind it. I made a selection, right-clicked and chose "layer via copy". Then, in the layers palette, I chose "select pixels" on that new later, created an empty layer below the new one and filled it with white. Finally, I lowered the opacity of the top layer until I was happy with the "vellum".

TEDS in the Context of DASIS
National-level data collection on admissions to substance abuse treatment was first mandated in 1972 under the Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act, P.L. 92-255. This act initiated Federal funding for drug treatment and rehabilitation, and required reporting on clients entering drug (but not alcohol) abuse treatment. The Client Oriented Data Acquisition Process (CODAP) was developed to collect admission and discharge data directly from Federally-funded drug treatment programs. (Programs for treatment of alcohol abuse were not included.) Reporting was mandatory for all such programs, and data were collected using a standard form. CODAP included all clients in Federally funded programs regardless of individual funding source. Reports were issued from 1973 to 1981 based on data from 1,800 to 2,000 programs, including some 200,000 annual admissions.
In 1981, collection of national-level data on admissions to substance abuse treatment was discontinued because of the introduction of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Services (ADMS) Block Grant. The Block Grant transferred Federal funding from individual programs to the States for distribution, and included no data reporting requirement. Participation in CODAP became voluntary; although several States submitted data through 1984, the data were in no way nationally representative.
In 1988, the Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Amendments (P.L. 100-690) established a revised Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant and mandated Federal data collection on clients receiving treatment for either alcohol or drug abuse. The Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) data collection effort represents the Federal response to this mandate. TEDS began in 1989 with the issue of 3-year development grants to States.
TEDS in the Context of DASIS
TEDS is one of the three components of SAMHSA's Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS). DASIS is the primary source of national data on substance abuse treatment.
The core component of DASIS is the Inventory of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (I‑SATS), a continuously-updated comprehensive listing of all known public and private substance abuse treatment facilities.
TEDS includes facilities that are licensed or certified by the State substance abuse agency to provide substance abuse treatment (or are administratively tracked for other reasons), and that are required by the States to provide TEDS client-level data.
The third component of DASIS is the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N‑SSATS), an annual survey of the location, characteristics, services offered, and utilization of alcohol and drug abuse treatment facilities in I‑SATS.

In addition to the requirements for admission into the Master of Science in Computer Science program, admission into the Doctor of Philosophy degree program requires a Master's degree in Computer Science. If the student does not already have an MS in CS, they may be admitted into the MS/Ph.D. program; in this program, students must complete the required coursework for the MS in CS as well as degree requirements for the Ph.D. in CS.
Despite acceptance into the program, in order to be admitted to candidacy, student must:
6 courses (18 credits) from the Masters course group list (pdf), with at most 4 courses from a single Masters course group (pdf). No course applied towards an MS degree can be used to satisfy course distribution requirements for the Doctoral degree.

Major Area
6 credits (course pairs list)
Minor Area I

The major and minor area course requirements for the Ph.D. degree are above and beyond the corresponding requirements for the MS degree, but may continue and deepen specializations begun at that level. The primary purpose of the major and minor courses is to provide breadth of knowledge. Therefore, students are encouraged to select courses from a variety of areas. Among all course pairs for the MS and Ph.D. combined, at most one pair may contain a course "piggybacked" onto a core course.
Students are required to report completion of each of these milestones according to the Procedures for Student Progress Through the Ph.D. Program.

Odd because, I don't think I've read any of these questions in the many PT threads that I've read.
I'm not actively pushing potty training for my guys- but if they ask to pee or poop on the potty, I let them. Recently, we've had more poop activity and the toilet paper that usually seems ok does not seem conducive at all to cleaning them up. I have run and gotten wipes but I'm certain they are not supposed to go in our toilet so that's out. Also, if they aren't laying down how to you know everything is clean? I'm not sure what other people do. To complicate things, as soon as one DS goes, the other one wants to try too so I can't really move to the usual changing area to finish as there's another DS trying to climb onto the toilet.

I take it for degenerative disc disease in my neck and back (I am 72), and "severe" (per MD) arthritis in my knee. With this med, I have NO pain and feel wonderful. I have been given vicodin for severe pain, but don't like the foggy feeling I get. I take the prescribed dose (800mg) of IBUB 2 times daily, but sometimes,I have to have a third, if I am overdoing it.

Hey! My name is Theresa, I'm 20 years old, and my little boy is two weeks old, and was born 7 weeks early due to the sudden onset of preeclampsia. Luckily he will be heading home soon from the NICU so that's very exciting =]
My pregnancy was pretty much uneventful until I was around 29-30 weeks when my blood pressure started going up and up, but because it would go back down, I wasn't prescribed any medication for it, I was just monitored every week. Then on June 19th, I had gone into a CVS to get a prescription filled, and while I was waiting I went ahead and checked my blood pressure there. It was 165/100. I thought it was inaccurate but decided to call my doctor anyway. They told me to come on in just to make sure it's not anything serious.
When I get to the hospital, they check my blood pressure and it's still 165/100. About 10 minutes later it gets higher. They put me on an IV and give me meds to attempt to make it go down, but it doesn't help. At this point, I'm not panicking yet -- I was pretty much just chilling out, hoping to be able to go home soon, so I wasn't contributing to it going up. They watch me for an hour, and my nurse ends up not telling me my blood pressure and turns the machine away. Everytime I ask what it is, she says "It's alright, honey", trying not to worry me. About an hour and a half into being there, there are more nurses in my room and they all leave. Five minutes later, my main nurse comes in and tells me the situation and that we're going to have to get my son out as soon as possible. I didn't know it then, but I later found out that my blood pressure was 214/100, and I almost had a stroke.
About an hour after they tell me that, my son is born by emergency c-section at 7:45pm. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything after having an oxygen mask on my face because I had to be completely knocked out because the anestesiologist couldn't get the spinal in after trying three times (ow =[). Luckily he was a healthy 5lbs 2oz, 18in. long, and had a good scream, so I heard =]
He was in the special care nursery at my hospital until he was transferred to the NICU on the 24th where we're at now because of a distended abdomen and not being able to digest anything. They thought they'd have to have surgery on my little guy, but it turned out to just be a mucous plug caught in his bowels, so after it was out, they just monitored him. He did have trouble breathing after he was born, and would breathe really heavy. But luckily now his breathing is normal and he's eating and growing like a weed =]
Although he wasn't itty bitty, it still killed me seeing my first child in an incubator with wires all over his body and a tube in his mouth, which would later be in his nose. That's not how you expect to experience your first child...
But now he's out of the incubator and in a rolling crib, and just started bottle and breastfeeding. I'm so excited to bring my little one home soon =D
I'm glad I found this group...I don't know many preemie parents, and I don't know anyone who had preeclampsia except for my mother who I don't talk to often. So I hope to get know all of you very soon =]
God bless all of you and your little ones!!!
