Unpublished Opinion-State of South Carolina discourages intergenerational contact-This goes against Grandparents
The court of appeal in South Carolina has recently issued an unpublished opinion that it is against the public interest in South Carolina for parents and grandparents to enter into an agreement whereby the parents would allow, not mandate but simply allow, the grandparents to have contact with their grandchildren. A motion for rehearing has been filed and if not granted the matter will undoubtedly be filed wiih the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Because the opinion was unpublished, the public does not know about it. Parents and grandparents alike would be outraged if they knew this state not only discourages intergenerational contact, it holds agreements for such contact to be void, i.e. nonexistent in the eyes of the state. Have you any suggestions for making this outrageous opinion public? I am attaching a copy of the decision and the motion to rehear.

Doctors are trying to reduce the number of preterm births
For Doctor's to reduce the number of pre-term birth's, all OBGYN's treating pregnant mother's need to make the mother is aware of the complication's she suffer's in her pregnancy and treat these complication's accordingly. There is more chance for a mother to deliver a pre-term baby when complications are left untreated. Anemia, hyper or hypothyroidism, hyperemesis-graviderum, diabetes and when a fetus is placenta-previa, left untreated, can all cause a baby to be born early, not to mention cause death in both mother and child.

Doctors are trying to reduce the number of preterm births
MORE INFORMATION
For more information on preterm delivery from the March of Dimes, visit www.marchofdimes.com/pnhec/188_1080.asp.
Although the relative numbers of babies born early in the United States is down slightly for the first time in decades, more than half a million infants are still born before 37 weeks of gestation.
Preterm birth is a leading cause of infant death, and babies who survive an early birth often face a lifetime of health problems, including breathing problems, cerebral palsy, blindness, and learning and developmental disabilities.
Preterm births are estimated to cost the nation’s health care system as much as $26 billion a year.
Yet, there’s poor understanding about the causes of preterm birth – labeled “complex” by a committee set up by the Institute of Medicine to examine causes and possible prevention routes.
One frequent suspect, although not definitively linked in research, is the tendency for obstetrician-gynecologists to induce labor or perform cesarean sections at around 34-36 weeks’ gestation, according to a 2009 report by the National Center for Vital Statistics.
The 4 percent decline in preterm birth rates from 2006-08 – to 12.3 percent of all live births, regardless of delivery method – suggests to some researchers that doctors are doing a somewhat better job of estimating gestational age before an intervention.
But there are a host of other possible contributors to early births, from neighborhood and environmental exposures to infertility treatment and genetics.
A recent survey of nearly 800 women done by the March of Dimes and BabyCenter.com, a pregnancy and parenting website, found that only one in four new or expectant mothers had discussed preterm birth with their doctor before their second trimester.
And even though having delivered early before is one of the top risk factors for another preterm birth, 40 percent of women who reported a prior early delivery said they weren’t aware of their heightened risk.
The study also interviewed 225 ob-gyns. Their majority view – 83 percent – was there are few steps that have been shown to prevent preterm labor – avoiding tobacco and drug use, managing high blood pressure or diabetes and getting regular prenatal care – and that since all these are part of good regular pregnancy care anyway, there’s little point in raising the subject.
More than half said they felt such a discussion would raise undue fear or worry for an expectant mom.
But there is growing evidence that points to specific problems with infection, inflammation and hormonal imbalances tied to the immune system in triggering early labor.
A number of dental researchers have found that periodontal (gum) disease can increase by as much as seven times the risk of preterm or low birth weight delivery for women.
Scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have found that as many as one in three preterm babies are born to moms who have an infection in their amniotic fluid that is silent – that is, it doesn’t cause any outward sign or symptom.
Last winter, Dr. Roberto Romero and his team at the NICHD’s perinatology research branch reported they had found DNA variants in mothers and fetuses that appear to raise the odds of preterm labor and delivery. Romero speculates that the DNA variants regulate the intensity of immune response in both mother and baby, normally set to a standoff that allows pregnancy to continue.
But those same hormones also play a role in inducing labor, and the researchers think the genetic quirks they’ve seen may ramp up this process and result in premature labor in response to a level of infection that other mothers and infants without the variant are able to ignore and progress to full term.

Kids removed after dog bites 4-year-old boy

Kids removed after dog bites 4-year-old boy
By ALBERT McKEON
Staff Writer
NASHUA – A 4-year-old boy suffered a serious lip injury after a family pit bull bit him, police said.
While responding to the dog bite Friday morning, police and city officials discovered unsanitary living conditions at the 102 Ledge St. residence, police Lt. Jeffrey Bukunt said.
As a result, the boy and his two young siblings were removed from the home and placed in the care of relatives, Bukunt said.
A city code enforcement official ordered the house vacated because of the unsanitary conditions, Bukunt said.
The boy suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries when an adult pit bull, one of two dogs the family has owned for only about a week, bit him, Bukunt said.
The injury appeared to be isolated to the boy’s upper lip, but is extensive, Bukunt said. He was initially treated at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, then transferred to Children’s Hospital Boston.
The bite was reported to police at around 9:45 a.m. The mother and her other two children were home, but the children’s father was not, Bukunt said.
The family has two pit bulls, the adult and a puppy, he said. The dogs are now in the custody of the Humane Society for Greater Nashua.
The human society is conducting tests for rabies. Once the tests are complete, and if the dogs are deemed healthy, a Nashua Police animal control officer will determine whether the dogs should be returned to the owners, Bukunt said.
Bukunt declined to specify the conditions that prompted a city Health Department officer to deem the home unsanitary.
The unsanitary nature of the home was an issue separate from the Code Enforcement officer discovering that a basement apartment was being built at the 102 Ledge St. home without a permit, Bukunt said.
The boy and his family lived in the main section of the home while construction was underway downstairs, he said.
It’s unclear who owns the residence, Bukunt said. He wasn’t sure whether the parents are owners or tenants.
City assessment records list David and Veronica Clark, of Nashua, as the owners of the residence.
No criminal charges will be filed, but the owner and the occupants could be cited for code violations, Bukunt said.
The state Division for Children, Youth & Families handled the transfer of custody of the three children from the parents to relatives, Bukunt said.
This is at least the second discovery this month of an illegal basement apartment in a home after a police response. The city learned of an illegal apartment in the basement of 2 Morningside Drive after a long police standoff involving a home invasion.

Child-porn probe nets 20 Pentagon workers
Child-porn probe nets 20 Pentagon workers

WASHINGTON - Federal investigators have identified about 20 Pentagon employees and contractors who allegedly bought and downloaded child pornography; some even viewed the illegal material on their government-issued computers.
Yesterday, the Defense Department's inspector general's office released a 94-page report that says some of those involved had top-secret security clearances and worked for divisions such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Security Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office. Those agencies deal with some of the government's most sensitive intelligence and defense work.
Government auditors released the report, with certain names and information redacted, after The Boston Globe reported the pornography investigation.
The number of Pentagon employees investigated was not disclosed in the report, but a Pentagon spokeswoman said the probe involved about 20 people who had an "affiliation with the Defense Department" as full-time employees, former military members or contractors.
Some have been prosecuted, but some of those cases were dropped for lack of evidence. Others remain open.
The cases are part of a wider probe, Operation Flicker, which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement began four years ago. It has identified more than 5,000 subscribers to child-pornography websites.

Video: Amber White Removed From Home
We have an update on the case of Amber White, 12. Her father says the state removed her and her little sister from the home. Lee White says for the second time in less than a week, his family has been ripped apart.
Amber White was found Wednesday after disappearing from her neighborhood in west Shreveport last Sunday. She vanished while walking to a nearby swimming pool. Her father says the Department of Children and Family Services told him the reason they removed his daughters was lack of supervision. White says they told him it was because they let her walk to the pool without a parent.
Henry Lee, the 25-year-old man linked to white's disappearance, went before a judge yesterday morning. He's charged with aggravated rape.
According to court documents, Lee told police that white was a runaway and he was keeping her at his house. He then handed the girl off to his cousin, but doesn't know what happened to her after that.
Police reports also indicate there are witness reports that white was forced into a car.
