Supporters: 2012
The media marketplace can perhaps be described as "dizzying" these days. Almost every week brings news of changing content distribution technologies, business mergers and reinventions and shifts between "new" and "old" news media.
Yet as WHYY continues to find the best balance between the high standards that generate so much pride in our productions while striking out in new directions to ensure we reach new audiences, I'm comforted to see that support continues to grow in absolute dollar size and numbers of contributed gifts.
WHYY achieved a gross contributed income of $13.4 million in the 2012 fiscal year, exceeding projections by almost $1 million. In fact, the 2012 fiscal year represents the third consecutive year and seventh of the past eight years that WHYY has achieved growth in gross contributed income. This growth is the result of year-over-year growth in WHYY's membership, which has increased 4 percent in the past five years, from 92,000 in 2007 to 96,000 in 2012. This increase compares quite favorably with our peer group, which has lost members in the same time period. And at the same time, we've seen comparable year-over-year increases in support from major donors and corporate sponsors.
Although not the perfect metric, growth in contributed income is a very good indicator that WHYY is still reaching all of our constituents with experiences you value and trust. Once more, growth in your support enables WHYY to optimize and grow its program services for you, your family and your community. We truly appreciate your support and this affirmation.
Thank you.
William J. Marrazzo

Topic: gallbladder cancer
Hi, my husband was recently diagnosed with gallbladder cancer and they removed it around 3 weeks ago.. It has spread to liver and bile ducts.. They have done a procedure to prepare him for his sugery to remove liver and bile ducts. They threaded some beads (glue) to his bad part of the liver which will hopefully stop it from getting any bigger or at least what they are trying to acomplish is to have the good part of the liver get larger and grow Then they can take the mass out and hopefully have enough of the liver left and it can replenish itself But while we are waiting, it has grown from a recent mri.that he just had. I guess I dont understand since the mass has grown , can not that be bad for him. They do not seem to think that it is and call it a stable mass.
Like everyone else that I read about here, no symptoms hardly and then alot of abdominal pain and then the diagnosis.
Has anyone here heard of this procedure, I think its called chemo portal or something like that.
Hope to hear back soon.

The Art of Midwifery
DOULA Tip of the Week: When baby's head is malpositioned in the pelvis, try this trick: Put a length of gripper-like shelf liner under mom's belly like a hammock. Dad holds one end of the gripper stuff and I hold the other; we pull up. We hoist the baby slightly up out of the pelvis and hold for about two minutes or so. When we let go the baby tends to settle into a new position.

News Flashes
Several features on ultrasound scans that doctors thought were warning signs of Down syndrome are almost always harmless, leading many women with normal fetuses to undergo unnecessary amniocentesis, researchers say. The analysis of 56 previous studies casts doubt on the reliability of ultrasound in detecting Down syndrome in the womb. Researchers looked at seven markers sometimes spotted on ultrasound scans that are thought to increase the risk of Down. Only one of those markers--a shaded area suggesting a thickening at the back of the neck--was found to be a reliable indicator. The six other markers were certain brain cysts, shortened thigh and upper-arm bones, bright spots on the bowel or heart, and high fluid levels in the kidneys. About 10 percent to 14 percent of pregnant women have one of these markers, but fewer than 1 percent have Down babies. Ultrasounds that show an obvious structural abnormality, such as heart defects that are common in Down syndrome, should not be discounted.

Natural Remedies
STORYTELLING: We are the torchbearers of truth, the tellers of tales of beautiful birth, the weavers of courageous empowering visions to set before the women and families we serve. Our stories must be told often, until they become more compelling and convincing than the horrible "you are weak and effective, prone to failure, need our technology, and might as well give up and give in now" myths people hear all around them.... Share something marvelous at each visit.... Arrange public education sessions. Invite your ladies' relatives and friends to preparatory meetings. Facilitate support groups of women who choose to believe in their power.
- Judy Edmunds, Midwifery Today Issue 52
LISTENING: Good casetaking is more than asking the right questions. It also involves listening and observing skills. A woman who tells you "I can't sleep" in an angry tone while entering the room is different from the one who bursts into tears midway through the prenatal exam sobbing "I can't sleep," which is different from one who shrugs "I can't sleep" in a tiny voice when asked why she is always tired. There is also the subtle art of deciphering the trivial from the meaty in casetaking.... Leave time for the story, the personal, or what may seem a bit of rambling...."Great truths are often said on the doorstep."
WATERBIRTH: Summary of physiological benefits: Increases relaxation, decreases pain, decreases pressure on abdominal muscles and vena cava, increases pelvic diameters, increases buoyancy and mobility, provides a gravity-free environment, increases contractions, increases endorphin and oxytocin production, increases oxygen and blood supply, increases peripheral/muscle and skin temperature, increases velocity of nerve conduction, increases tissue metabolism, relaxes perineal tissue, reduces blood pressure.
- Dianne Garland, "Waterbirth: An Attitude to Care," Books for Midwives Press, 1996
MASSAGE: During the labors I attend I use a lot of touch and massage. As with pregnancy massage, I find that my clients benefit from touch and massage in different ways. One client told me, "Massage eased labor pain in the back immensely. I would have had an epidural without the massage during labor. Massage also gave me something to focus on other than the pain of labor." Another said, "Massage definitely reduced stress and anxiety by helping me focus on each stage and get over it."
- Keri Redding, LMT in Midwifery Today Issue No. 52
CHIROPRACTIC CARE: If the pelvic bones are misaligned, it may cause altered pressure into the uterus and the baby has a more difficult time being head-down. The Webster Breech Technique has been demonstrated to be highly effective. Some studies show it to be more effective than an external version where the baby is forced into a head-down position.
- Dr. C. Karl Krantz, Midwifery Today Issue 52
AROMATHERAPY: The use of essential oils as massage agents, additives to baths, or a few drops on a tissue used as an inhalant can be effective for relaxation and stress reduction, decreasing pain and discomfort in labor, augmenting labor contractions and facilitating healing and reduction of perineal discomfort during postpartum. A six-month pilot study in English maternity wards showed lavender, clary sage, peppermint and eucalyptus to be among some of the most helpful essential oils studied.
- Mary Bove, ND, LM "Herbs for use in Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum," The Birthkit newsletter Issue 20, a Midwifery Today publication
HOMEBIRTH: In a hospital environment, women often produce the hormone adrenaline in response to subconscious or conscious fear. This inhibits the release of the hormone oxytocin, and labour may well slow down. Although this slowing of labour is a natural safety mechanism designed to let the woman know she needs to find another environment, it is interpreted by many medical professionals as "failure (of the body) to progress." Rather than suggest that the woman talk about her fears or find a different environment, they will turn instead to drugs to "speed up" the labour. This drug (usually Pitocin or Syntocinon) can cause distress in the baby, among other effects, and often itself leads to a "cascade of intervention" which may result in an instrumental delivery or a cesarean.

HypnoBirthing Certification
Add a new dimension to your practice. Learn to teach hypnotic fear release and profound relaxation methods to eliminate the "fear-tension-pain syndrome" and create calm, comfortable birthings.
UVA URSI: When edema is coupled with elevated blood pressure, I thoroughly inform a woman about the course of preeclampsia. I then suggest deep relaxation, mild exercise, increasing protein to 125 grams per day, calcium to 2000 grams per day, and water to three quarts. I then suggest one cup of uva ursi tea per day. Method: Place one handful of uva ursi leaves in a jar, add 2 cups of boiling water, cover and steep for eight hours. Have her drink one cup per day. In severe cases, she should drink one cup every 12 hours. Recheck blood pressure and edema in three days. Refer to an allopath/homeopath if the condition is not responding to treatment.

ANTI-HEMORRHOID SALVE: 2 cups dried plantain leaves, 2 cups coconut oil, 1/2 cup dried yarrow flowers and leaves. Mix and put into a nonmetal, covered container. Put in oven at 120 degrees for six hours. You may need to leave the oven door open a bit. Strain while warm through cheese cloth. Put in a clean wide-mouth jar and store in a cool place. Use this salve whenever hemorrhoids are irritating.

Midwifery Today's Online Forum
During the 15 years I have been practicing as a midwife, I have always done vaginal exams (VE) on labouring women to assess progress, as I was taught to do and as is the protocol with the health authorities I have worked for. However, I have recently cared for women and have found myself questioning the value of VEs, and look at them more of an invasion of privacy and unnecessary. If I am confident that the vertex is presenting and I can feel descent on abdominal palpation, I have not done a VE at all. Is there anyone who knows of any research which suggests that VEs are unnecessary?

Question of the Week Responses
Q: Considering that a primigravida usually has a longer labour than a multip, the reason often being that the muscles are tighter and stronger, does anyone think primips should be encouraged to stop their pubo-coxygeal, pelvic floor exercises [kegels] at about week 34?
- Anon.
A: Kegels should continue for the entire length of pregnancy. The pressure a lot of mothers feel toward the last few weeks creates a sort of stagnation in the pelvic sling. In the yogic tradition kegels are called root lock (mula bandha). The purpose of this exercise is to allow fresh blood flow and life force (prana) to flood the area, bringing in oxygen and nutrients which will be helpful to heal possible stitches and/or hemorrhoids after birth. The benefits go beyond the physical to the energetic connection a mother possessed with her "root." The root chakra deals with basic survival, an instinct mothers need to access during birth. Moreover, some mothers aren't acquainted with their yonis in a healthy way and the kegel/mula bandha brings awareness to that region of the body so that the perineum and baby's head can be felt during labor, drawing an energetic bond from mom to babe.
- Nicole Gauthier-Schatz, yoga teacher, birth doula
A: I seem to recall that longer labours of primigravidas is more attributable to denser collagen in the cervix and the slower response time for that to soften, than the musculature of the vaginal wall and perineal floor that the tightening exercises addresses. I understood that the most variable portion of labour is the time for cervix to soften, stretch and dilate? The exercises would help create better blood flow and more conscious control of muscles.

Fenugreek and comfrey are two herbs that have long been thought to benefit nursing mothers. However, these herbal remedies pose health risks to the breastfed infant and should not be used.
Dr. Ruth A. Lawrence of the University of Rochester, New York, reviewed the use of herbs by nursing mothers in a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics. According to Dr. Lawrence, nursing mothers will take fenugreek believing that the herb helps increase milk supply. It is important for nursing mothers to know that this benefit has not been documented. Furthermore, there is data confirming that fenugreek poses certain health risks. Fenugreek is known to cause hypoglycemia and high blood pressure in the mother. It is also is associated with increased colic and diarrhea in the nursing infant.
Comfrey is another herb that should be avoided. This herb is rubbed on the nipples of nursing women to prevent cracking and dryness. According to Dr. Lawrence, it does pass to the nursing child and is associated with hepatic veno-occlusive disease in infants.
A nursing mother who is encountering postpartum depression may reach for St. John's Wort as a way to feel better. Though studies have shown some success in treating depression with St. John's Wort, the studies were done in men, not in women. St. John's Wort contains a seratonin reuptake inhibitor and there is no way to tell how much is being passed to the infant through breastmilk.
Since the FDA does not regulate herbs, Dr. Lawrence advises staying away from most herbs while nursing. She concluded her remarks by listing some herbal teas the nursing mother can enjoy. She recommends chicory, peppermint, red bush and rosehip teas.

Re. the red raspberry question: Indeed, my herbal books all indicate the ideaus form of red raspberry for pregnancy. I use this form with my women and can tell a great difference in shortened, more straightforward labors. Many of my moms who have had long labors before have cut their labors in half by drinking a quart a day beginning at five months. I also have less hemorrhage and postpartum bleeding in these same moms. An Amish midwife from this state who has delivered a few thousand babies taught me this about eight years ago, in answer to my quest for help with my grand multips who were having trouble with dysfunctional labors. It has brought a marvelous difference to my practice.
In E-News Issues 3:1 and 3:2 the remedy of cabbage applied to engorged breasts was offered and then later disputed. I have been a labour support and postpartum doula for over three years with the majority of my clients breastfeeding (at least 90%). In my experience, cabbage applied to engorged and tender breasts at intervals greatly relieves the discomfort with no evidence of reduced milk production. I always inform my clients that it CAN reduce and ultimately dry up milk supply if used on a continual basis for over 24 hrs, in addition to no feeding.
When breasts are red and hard, cabbage offers immediate relief. When nipples are sore and even cracked I recommend warm salt water soaks (shot glasses work best) three times a day for about five minutes, in conjunction with applied colostrum and later, breastmilk. Colostrum/breastmilk is another miracle worker (in addition to making sure baby has proper latch, tongue forward and no lips over gum and all, if not almost all, of the areola in the mouth}.
Should pain persist, it's time to see if thrush is the culprit and consult a lactation consultant to assess if there are other undetected conditions. Many women who I see have a) hospital births and receive mixed messages from hospital staff, and b) see breasts as objects of aesthetics not necessarily bounty of life. It takes a moment for them to transition, but when they do the discomfort seems to decrease rapidly.

My stretch marks are horrendous! Angry purple marks on thighs, hips, belly, sides, and breasts have appeared in spite of being treated with pure vitamin E oil twice daily since the third month. And I'm not overweight!
Now the good news:

I am 16 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. I have always had horrible all-day morning sickness for 60-70 days beginning at 6 weeks. I feel the all-day nausea has passed, but every time I eat I get sick to my stomach and feel like I have a small lead weight sitting there. I eat six small meals instead of three. I try to keep food and drink separate. If I throw up my food, (I've only thrown up five times because I don't feel better after and I'd rather fight it than violently throw up for 10 minutes), it looks barely digested after even four hours.
Only a family practice doctor is available to me. There are no midwives in my area. I feel anemic (but haven't been tested; my next appointment is in two weeks) and am taking a prenatal vitamin, yellow dock, nettle and raspberry tea. I notice no difference whether I take them or not. I haven't told my doctor I'm taking these. I am desperate for some help.

I need information about what a pregnant woman can do to reduce swelling during pregnancy? Herbal remedies or otherwise?
- Anon.
Re. The question about using nettles to prevent postpartum hemorrhage [Issue 3:12]: Nettle infusion teas are a good source of vitamin K, a natural aid for blood clotting. However, the frequency and the potency of the tea is another matter. A good herbalist should be well versed enough to give advice on the subject. Other sources of vitamin K include cayenne pepper and alfalfa. Always seek sound advice before taking any herbal remedy for ailments as many are contraindicated in pregnancy.
- Mel Radford, student midwife
I have attended two births that involved short cords. One was with a primip with some subtle decels at 3-4 cm. We transported to the hospital. She continued to labor in knee-chest position until full dilation. Then she turned over and pushed her baby out as quickly as she could with the help of fundal pressure. The cord was just shy of 12 inches. All was perfect with the baby.
The other was a case of a multip whose water broke at 2-3 cm, followed by a premature urge to push. We worked with every contraction to minimize any pushing. The contractions were very frequent. We had some interesting FHT variables, and some very light bleeding (are you getting worried yet?). This was a mom who didn't want to go to the hospital unless she or the baby was about to die. At one point we had a bit more bleeding, and it did have the smell of blood that comes with the placenta. The bleeding decreased to just less than a tablespoon when she could not keep from pushing. As she was not progressing very quickly, I had to advise transporting. The doctor who took over her care insisted on a cesarean. The baby had an 8 in. cord that was wrapped around her neck and arm. She was just fine.
So, a few inches and entanglement can make a big difference in outcome. I would not advise any new or unseasoned midwives to stay at home with a client with a situation such as the second case. I have been a midwife for a very long time.
I recently began work with a young woman who conceived her child when she was taking Ritalin; she used the drug for the entire first trimester. Where do I go for information about the effects of the drug on mother, embryo, fetus and baby? What direct experience do midwives have with this? What does she need to know or be prepared to think about?

I was reminded today that worldwide, one million women die during pregnancy or in labour due to pregnancy-associated causes. I think this would be a good topic for discussion, especially among the privileged "first world" readership.

More on breech:
I was curious that your section on breech didn't mention the recent international Term Breech Trial. Any reflections from participants would be welcome(the outcome was quite the opposite to Henci Goers').

How was breech birth handled 100 years ago? Any ideas where to find such information?

I'll be 27 weeks pregnant in two days and my midwife just measured my uterus at 31 cm. At my last visit two weeks ago, I was almost 25 weeks and measured 28 cm. I'm scheduled for a sonogram for fetal growth tomorrow morning--the prescription says "size>date". Of course I'm concerned about the effects of ultrasound (my only other one was at 21 weeks and things were fine then) but I realize that this is not a routine sonogram; it's for a medical purpose.
I just had the gestational diabetes screen today, and last night dreamed I

Local officials stepping up enforcement of new Internet harassment law targeting those who harass, impersonate others online
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer
Dallas police and the Dallas County District Attorney's office have begin stepping up enforcement of a 2009 Internet harassment law that makes it a felony to impersonate, imitate or otherwise harass others in e-mails, instant messaging programs and commercial social networking sites.
And some gay men who use online dating and social media sites are getting caught in the crosshairs.
"Word is getting out about the law," Dallas LGBT police liaison Laura Martin said, adding that she's spoken to a number of people who have been harassed with phone calls, Internet posts and fake Facebook pages.
"It usually happens when a relationship ends," Martin said, "[when] someone is seeking revenge."
She said that usually the person filing the complaint just wants the harassment to stop. And when she's made calls to the person, Martin said, it usually does stop.
But with the new Texas Penal Code 33.07, those using such sites to harass someone could be charged with a felony.
Since the beginning of July, criminal defense attorney Chad West said he has signed four new clients charged under the law. Three of them are gay.
The cases are varied. One involves harassment through a Facebook page; another is a "text message situation," West said.
West said one of his clients had been dating a closeted man for years. When the closeted man broke off the relationship, the two remained in touch for awhile, but then the closeted man wanted to cut off all communication.
West said his client told him his feelings had been hurt by his ex's actions and then "one night he did something stupid."
On Craigslist, the client posted his ex's first name, last initial and cell phone number with a picture of someone else. Within minutes the ex began receiving calls.
After talking to one of the callers, the victim found the page on Craigslist, printed it off and filed a complaint with the police who tracked the IP address.
West's client, with nothing prior on his record other than speeding tickets, was arrested and charged with a third degree felony. If convicted, he faces two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
In another case, one man was impersonating his boyfriend online. Using the victim's passwords, he signed onto dating sites such as Manhunt to find out if the victim was cheating on him.
Cheating is not a crime. Impersonating someone else online in Texas is. And that man has now been charged with a felony.
Manhunt does what it can to prevent that sort of situation, Manhunt CEO Adam Segel said. A button on profiles allows a member to report fake or malicious profiles.
"Whenever Manhunt receives reports of harassment between users, we investigate to the best of our ability and take whatever steps are necessary to rectify the situation," Segel said.
"This may include suspension or deletion of the offending user's account," he explained.
Segel said that Manhunt always cooperates with the police once officers have obtained a subpoena, but those instances are rare. "Fortunately this isn't something we hear about very often," he said.
West has spoken to the victims in all of the cases he represents. He said that all of them just want this to go away and that none seem interested in appearing in court to testify about intimate details of their lives.
And that's the best hope West's clients have.
Defending the charge is difficult when police have hard computer evidence of where the harassment originated and when a victim is willing to testify, West said.
The Craigslist case is furthest along and may be reduced to a Class A misdemeanor, but that still carries the possibility of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Probation or deferred adjudication are possibilities as well. Even if dismissed, the legal fees can mount quickly.
West said one of the victims he spoke to isn't interested in putting his ex in jail but wants him to get counseling. A judge could set that as a condition of the probation or deferred adjudication.
Katherine Robinson is an assistant Dallas district attorney who prosecutes Internet crimes. She said that her office looks at cases like these very carefully, but because the law is still new, she hasn't seen any cases come to trial.
Robinson said the Texas law was prompted by a 2006 cyber-bullying case in Missouri.
Megan Meier, 13, took her own life after being told online that the world would be better off without her by "Josh," a boy who friended her on MySpace.
"Josh" turned out to be Lori Drew, an adult woman. Megan was one of her daughter's classmates.
However, Drew had not violated any criminal law at the time. She was charged and acquitted of violating the terms and conditions of MySpace under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Robinson said that after that case, legislatures started enacting stricter Internet harassment laws.
"That case hit home how devastating it can be," Robinson said.
Assistant District Attorney Rick Watson has handled two cases under the Internet harassment law.
"I talk to the victim, balance what they want and make sure the public is safe," he said.
In one case, a high school student created a Facebook page with another student's information and made threatening remarks.
The student received four years probation but only after a psych evaluation to make sure he was not a danger.
Watson said the student thought he was pulling a prank, and had no idea he would be charged with a felony.
Watson said that although charges may be reduced, they're not likely to be dismissed.
West warned that although these cases may eventually be pled to misdemeanors, the arrest and associated costs can be enormous. He said that the potential is a felony conviction and with all the attention placed on bullying last fall, Internet harassment is being taken seriously by law enforcement in Dallas.
And Dallas County is not the only place police are pursuing these cases. Of West's four clients, only two are in Dallas. One is in Denton and another is in Collin County.
Sec. 33.07. ONLINE HARASSMENT.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person uses the name or persona of another person to create a web page on or to post one or more messages on a commercial social networking site:

I'm leaning towards the Banger GT or Challenger right now it seems (edit: forgot about the magnet if they make the non soft ones stiff enough). I think every Pro-D plastic disc that I've picked up that wasn't labeled "soft" has had the kind of stiffness I haven't found elsewhere.. I've had maybe 5 Pro-D Banger GTs and only 1 of them wasn't quite as stiff as I wanted. I've just wound up giving them all away at different times. The most recent in a trade because I'd found some Black Classic Aviars that I thought were going to do the trick but they just still aren't quite stiff enough...

But you don't need to restrict yourself to just one universal putter. Having specialty or situational putters is useful. You use different drivers for different lines or conditions, why not different putters too?

I got mine to 300' flat land no wind in both states but the percentage was higher with a new one because i need to hit it at 100 % power to get distance. While not exactly glidey it does not drop terribly fast when given 300' of power. The break in was too fast and too far for a driving putter with the d Ringer.
So far medium Wizards have been consistently hard and i have not really fondled the other molds in medium plastic much at all. I picked up a Warlock once and it felt as slick and hard as medium Wizards so it could be useful for you. I'd try at least one Gateway putter mold with the medium plastic to make sure that it either is sufficient or not for you material and feel wise.
