TODAY is the Adver's 160th birthday. It was on Monday, February 6, 1854, that William Morris produced the first edition of what was called The Swindon Advertiser and Monthly Record.
The 28-year-old was the newspaper's owner, editor, printer and journalist. He even delivered each newspaper himself.
Swindon was in a state of flux. At the top of a hill was the small market town whose first inhabitants had lived more than a thousand years earlier.
At the bottom of the hill were the Railway Works and the burgeoning New Town it had spawned. It would be nearly half a century before the old and new were united as a single borough.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who had chosen Swindon as the location for the Works, was still at the height of his powers.
Oscar Wilde was born that year, and so was French poet Arthur Rimbaud.
Victoria was Queen and Prince Albert her consort – it would be more then seven years before his early death plunged the monarch into near-permanent mourning and seclusion.
The Prime Minister was George Hamilton-Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen, and the White House was occupied by Franklin Pierce, an obscure president said by historians to be one of America's worst.
1854 saw Charles Dickens publish Hard Times, highlighting many of the social injustices which vexed Adver founder Morris.
Major national events that year included the introduction of gas street lighting on certain cities' main roads and a cholera epidemic that killed 10,000 Londoners.
The Swindon Advertiser has chronicled the life of the Swindon area ever since, covering both major national events and the day-to-day local ones that are a vital part of the fabric of every community.
We have never missed a scheduled issue, even if it meant hastily running off improvised copies on single sheets of paper, as happened during the Nazi bombing campaign of World War Two and the often bitter industrial strife of the 1970s.
Today we mark our special occasion with a supplement. It's a tribute not to ourselves but to you, the readers, without whom none of our work would be possible.
- Don't miss our special souvenir celebrating 160 years of the Swindon Advertiser, FREE inside the newspaper today
Still the town's community champion
THE TOWN'S great and good have joined together to wish the Adver a happy 160th birthday.
Festival of Literature organiser Matt Holland said it was still his first port-of-call for local news.
He said: "I always read the Adver with my toast and boiled eggs every morning. For all its faults, and I'm not saying it is faultless, I think it is an absolutely key instrument of local news and a means of getting everything from sport to disaster to culture."
Robert Buckland, MP for South Swindon, said: "In the year that the great William Morris founded the Adver, the Crimean War had started and Charles Dickens' serialised books were increasing newspaper and periodical readership in a population whose interest in news was growing. In an ever-changing world I hope that the Adver will be with us for the next 160 years."
Swindon Council leader David Renard added: "The Swindon Advertiser clearly has a long and distinguished history and has played a very important part of Swindon life for many years. At 160 it is even older than local government, with the first council forming in 1894 and there has been a long relationship between both which I hope will continue."
And Justin Tomlinson, MP for North Swindon, said: "Forthright, challenging and entertaining, the Adver is 160 years young, modernising, adapting and still Swindon's community champion. Happy birthday."

ID theft risks on the rise
If your credit card account is part of a data breach, there's an increased chance you'll be a victim of ID theft.
The warning comes as investigators track the hackers who just stole information from 1.5 million debit and credit card accounts. Electronic payment processor Global Payments says it's making progress responding to the large-scale hacking incident it revealed on April 1st. But new research shows data breaches are increasing, and your ID theft risk is steadily going up.
A new Javelin Strategy survey of more than 5,000 credit and debit card users shows that after a 28 percent plunge in ID theft cases in 2010, when more than 8 million consumers got hit. There was a 13 percent increase in I-D theft in 2011. More than 11.5 million adults became fraud victims. Experts tracking identity theft say you can thank the explosion of banking, shopping and other transactions you can execute on smart phones and tablets, along with carefree -- even careless -- information sharing on social networks. If your credit or debit card account is part of a data breach, security experts say you should worry.
"You are 10 times more likely to be a victim of fraud," said Javelin Strategy & Research President Jim VanDyke.
Javelin analyzes fraud and I-D theft trends for financial institutions.
"Two things are very clear. One, if you're a person who's notified of a data breach, meaning you were in a significant data breach, you are more likely to be a fraud victim. And two, that likelihood has been skyrocketing every year for the past 4 years," he said.
In 2008, VanDyke says a data breach notification made you three times more likely to be a fraud victim. In 2009, you were four times more likely to get hit. You were six times more likely to be a fraud victim in 2010. And, as of last year, according to Javelin's latest survey, being part of a data breach makes you 10 times more likely to have a fraudulent transaction carried out in your name.
Experts say while financial institutions are improving their security measures, most consumers are not changing bad habits that put their personal and financial information at risk. At the same time, criminals are more determined that ever to take advantage of the way you use technology.
If you get a data breach notification, experts say you should change your passwords immediately and make sure your passwords contain a combination of symbols, upper and lower case letters, and numbers. Make sure your smart phones, tablets and other devices are locked and password protected when not in use. And make sure you can remotely wipe your devices of all personal information if they become lost or stolen.
You should monitor all your accounts daily online. Security experts say we should also be checking our credit reports regularly. The Federal Trade Commission reminds consumers that the only official website for a truly free credit report is through annualcreditreport.com.
If you're on a social network, stop sharing personal information. ID thieves scour social network sites for any information they can use to pretend to be you, your friends or your family members. Protecting your social security number and credit card information is not enough. It's also crucial to avoid sharing the names of your children, parents and grandparents, where you live, and especially your year of birth, the name of your pet, and any other information you'd have to provide a bank, credit card company or other business to prove who you are.

Quick response:
Paul George actually blew two lay-ups (four points)
The refing at the end was awful. Miller got two fouls, one for tripping over his feet, one for diving with Lance guarding him. Also, Lance got thrown to the ground on a rebound. If lance get's those calls his game looks much better.
Is it to early to mention cutting DJ, not just benching him? The only thing I've ever seen worse than him running the offense is his D.
The second unit can't play all at the same time. It doesn't work.
Hibbert, hit a freakin' shot.

CHINO HILLS – Significant congestion, drilling, extensive road closures and disruption of traffic are all a possibility if the state Public Utility Commission approves constructing high-voltage power lines below streets and hills of this city.
That's the opinion of Southern California Edison – which would have to undertake that massive construction project – in a 43-page document submitted this week to the PUC.
The information was provided after the PUC ordered Edison to assess the cost and difficulty of undergrounding its power lines through Chino Hills instead of using above-ground power poles as planned.
Edison has previously gotten PUC approval to install expanded power poles through the city and has completed about one-third of the work. Objections by residents, the city and area legislators caused the project to be halted and further studies ordered.
The above-ground 500-kilovolt project is estimated to cost $166 million.
A proposal supported by opponents to run the power lines around the city and through the state park would cost from $424 million to $589 million.
In the most recent report, Edison estimates a cost of $300 million to $473 million to run a single line underground through the city and a double-circuit line from $703 million to more than $1 billion.
The below-ground option would require digging a 3.5-mile-long, 6-foot-wide trench across the city including across numerous city streets, according to the report.
That option would "involve some pretty extensive road closures and construction for putting that infrastructure under the street," said Charles Adamson, Edison's manager of major transmission projects.
Edison also said undergrounding a project with such voltage has never been undertaken in the United States. Undergrounding power lines up to 345 kilovolts is fairly common practice, and 500-kilovolt power lines on above-ground towers have been installed in Corona, Ontario and Fontana, Adamson said.
Earlier last month, Edison had turned over a 96-page document to the commission that detailed "feasibility, cost and timing" on 16 possible options for building the high-voltage Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project through Chino Hills.
That report produced possible options through the state park, undergrounding the power lines, a different route through the city and/or state park, using the existing right-of-way but with shorter, more closely spaced towers, and ways to reduce the impact of larger towers.
This week's released report was ordered by the PUC after Chino Hills city officials told the agency Edison's report was incomplete as it did not include a single-circuit underground option.
The $2.1 billion power line project was approved in 2009 to carry 500-kilovolt wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles Basin.
Chino Hills officials have spent more than $2 million battling Edison in a lawsuit for two years insisting its right-of-way through the city is too narrow for the proposed 198-foot power towers.
City officials and the grassroots group Hope for the Hills have advocated building the project underground or through the neighboring Chino Hills State Park.
City officials and residents have also argued the presence of the transmission poles have reduced their home property value and pose a health and safety issue. They fear the larger 198-feet towers would fall onto their homes during an earthquake.
Edison officials said if there were a shift in the earth across where that infrastructure is, it could certainly create damage below ground.
Adamson said structures built above ground are very resilient to earthquakes, as well as wind, because of the way they are designed.
In this week's Edison report, it points out some impracticalities of undergrounded large power lines when repair is required. "The time of repair could range between five days and several months," the report said.
The undergrounding option also requires the construction of overground transition stations, used to cool the underground cable system, would have to be built along the route.
Chino Hills City Council member Ed Graham said Friday he understands the ramifications of the undergrounding option.
"If Edison moves as quickly to install the undergrounding option as they did to install the 200- foot towers throughout the city then we should be OK," he said. "After all, their transmission people do this for a living."
Graham said city officials and Edison are scheduled to have a mediation meeting the week of Feb. 13.
"The goal of the mediation is to see if we can come to an agreement on a route that is possible," he said.
"At any time during mediation, we could walk away or SCE could walk away, and if that happened then we would go into a full hearing with the CPUC again."

Well it's that time of year where Americans pig out and say thanks for all they have. I do have a lot to be thankful for. A good job, friends, family and health. So thanks for that and I mean it. More importantly thanks for inspiration. I'm making a lot of music and somehow I'm not repeating myself. Since this is an American holiday I posted two videos above that show some of America in action. Sure I could post our troops at war or something like that but honestly most of us are just working and playing.

ONE of the nation's best-loved artists will soon come to Romsey for an exhibition of children's illustrators.
New drawings by Quentin Blake for the hit West End production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be shown for the first time, alongside work by other leading contemporary artists.
Blake has been drawing all his life, with his first publication at 16 years old. Since then he has become internationally famous, known for both his books and collaborations with authors, most famously Roald Dahl.
He taught illustration for more than 20 years at the Royal College of Art, and more recently has curated exhibitions in major museums, including making large-scale works for hospitals.
Quentin Blake and Friends opens at Mottisfont on Saturday, July 19, and will run until September 14.
Louise Govier, visitor experience manager and curator, said: "We are so excited to be showing Quentin's work this summer. So many of us have wonderful memories of discovering his books and of course of how he brought Roald Dahl's stories to life.
"His new work is just as fresh and funny – his drawings of people lusting for chocolate are hilarious. He pokes fun at all sorts of things in modern life, but we find ourselves smiling even as we sometimes recognise ourselves."
The original drawings and watercolours have all been lent by the Chris Beetles Gallery in London, with all for sale.
The exhibition also includes works by Michael Foreman, Emma Chichester Clark, John Burningham, Helen Oxenbury, Rebecca Cobb and Oliver Jeffers.
The stories illustrated range from classics such as Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland and classic fairy tales, to works by Terry Jones and Michael Morpurgo.
"This show covers a really broad range of styles, from the rich detail and deep colours of Michael Foreman to the simple figures captured in a few deft lines that characterise Oliver Jeffers' work," Louise added.
"I'm also really excited to see the new work by John Burningham and Helen Oxenbury – anyone who's read We're Going on a Bear Hunt with their kids will recognise Helen's style immediately. These really are some of the best illustrators working today, and it's fascinating to contrast how differently they all use pictures to tell stories."
There will be a story trail around the house and grounds where families can create their own illustrated books, and in August there will be activities making nature themed books, enjoying storytelling, or watching performances, with the possibility of meeting the authors (August 2, 3, 16, 17).
On August 30-31 storytellers from the Roald Dahl Museum will be attending.
The exhibition runs daily from 10am until 5pm.

French Open champion Maria Sharapova is looking to make up for lost time by securing a quarter-final place at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
Sharapova, whose lone Wimbledon triumph came a decade ago, was unable to tackle Angelique Kerber on Monday evening after rain delays caused fresh havoc with the schedule.
Tournament officials decided shortly before 8pm there was a strong chance of their match, the third to be played on Court One, not finishing before nightfall.
Centre Court will therefore stage the delayed contest, with the target for the winner a showdown with dangerous Canadian Eugenie Bouchard in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. The winner of that would then have a semi-final on Thursday, before taking a welcome day off prior to Saturday's final.
Sharapova has been playing it cool in London, even if the prospect of a second Wimbledon title is hard to ignore.
"I don't like to categorise each tournament. I like to go about my business as it's any other day," said the 27-year-old Russian.
"Just because I'm in London or Paris, playing the French or Wimbledon, I like to keep those routines the same. I think that helps you mentally because it doesn't matter if you're playing a smaller tournament or a grand slam, you know what works for you and you try to carry that through."
Sharapova and Kerber are far from alone in facing a backlog. On the traditional women's quarter-final day, two more fourth-round matches were on the programme, with Romanian third seed Simona Halep tackling Kazakhstan's Zarina Diyas on Court Two and German Sabine Lisicki facing another Kazakh, Yaroslava Shvedova, on Court Three.
WTA Tour break-out star Bouchard secured a place in the quarter-finals by beating Alize Cornet under the roof on Centre Court as rain thundered down outside.
The 20-year-old from Montreal, who was named after Princess Eugenie, has reached semi-finals at the Australian and French Opens already this year and is targeting her first grand slam title.
"The main thing is the confidence I have added since the beginning of the year. I believe in myself. Every match I play, I believe I can win," said the 2012 Wimbledon junior champion.
The semi-final line-up in the bottom half of the draw should be known by nightfall, with the 2011 champion Petra Kvitova taking on fellow Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova on Centre Court, and their countrywoman Lucie Safarova facing Russian Ekaterina Makarova on Court One.
Zahlavova Strycova followed up her surprise win against second seed Li Na by reaching her maiden grand slam quarter-final with a 6-2 7-5 victory over Caroline Wozniacki.
Kvitova, the 2011 champion, defeated China's Shuai Peng 6-3 6-2, while Safarova won out 6-0 6-2 against another Czech, qualifier Tereza Smitkova. Makarova claimed perhaps the most eye-catching win on Monday, bustling to a 6-3 6-0 victory over Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
Lisicki fended off Ana Ivanovic in a three-set test to earn her shot at Shvedova, who was afforded the day off when third-round opponent Madison Keys abandoned their match due to injury. It had been finely poised at 7-6 6-6 in the Czech's favour when darkness fell on Saturday night, and American teenager Keys could not run off a thigh problem.

The Redwood HIGH boys golf team may be the two-time defending MCAL champions, but talk to any of the league coaches and similar themes pop up.
The league will be balanced and competitive throughout. The issue of parity should create intriguing questions to be answered as the season unfolds.
Can Redwood again finish strong to capture another league title?
Will Branson, Marin Catholic or Justin-Siena regain its status as the league's best?
Or can up-and-coming teams such as Tam, San Marin and Novato surprise and make a late-season run?
"This league is starting to balance out a little bit," Tam coach Mark Campagna said. "It's going to start to be a tougher league top to bottom. There's no mediocrity within the league. These teams are getting better."
Marin Academy looks to recapture the Bay Counties League West title after winning it in 2010 and 2011.
Coach: Al Endriss (11th season)
Last year: 16-2, regular-season champs
Outlook: Despite possessing the league's best record and seeing player of the year Carl Sennett fire off a league-record 64 at MCALs, the Bulls still failed to come away with their first league title since 2006. Sennett is gone due to graduation, and Branson looks to a new core led by All-MCAL first-team selection Miguel Delgado. Jack Atwater, Jack Travers and Adam Libresco should be consistent contributors for a young Branson squad. A group of sophomores expect to battle for time in the varsity lineup.
Last word: "It may be a rough going for us, but as the season goes along, we'll get better," Endriss said. "After seeing them and talking with them and seeing their enthusiasm, I hope they become better players. We won't see results until midway through the season."
Coach: Sherman Leland (second season)
Last year: 2-16, ninth place
Outlook: The Pirates graduated zero seniors from a year ago and are poised to improve on their two-win mark last spring. Leland credited his team's unity in seeing scores continually drop as the season progressed. Juniors JP Zamanillo, Dwight Scales and Dante Melane lead Drake, and seniors Lilo Petroccitto and Casey Huang expect to round out the lineup.
Last word: "They know what to expect," Leland said. "They'll have a little more experience under competition and understanding the game, and will play faster and smarter."
Coach: Ray Graziani (fifth season)
Record: 13-5, fourth
Outlook: The Braves were simply unlucky last spring, losing four matches by a total of 13 shots. They will be led by All-MCAL first-team selection Wyatt Amaral and honorable mention Max Wilkinson. Brian Haugen and Adam Koehler will provide depth to the lineup.
Last word: "We're going to compete at the top of the MCAL," Graziani said. "We're going to go out and try to win MCAL as usual and see where it takes us. The top five (teams) are always fighting for the top and it'll remain that way this year."
Coach: Mike Miller (third season)
Record: 15-3, tied for second
Outlook: The Wildcats are traditionally in the mix to compete for the league title, and that should not change. Despite losing four players to graduation, Marin Catholic will again be strong, led by All-league second-team selection Peter Noerr. The Wildcats had their streak of seven consecutive regular-season titles snapped by Branson and are looking for their first league championship since 2009. Brian Naro, David Bisotti and Antoine Peltreau-Villenueve will be solid contributors.
Last word: "I look for a winning record again this year and expect to be in the mix for winning the MCAL at the end of the season," Miller said. "As always, the most important aspect of competing in a team sport like golf is that it builds character and teaches values like respect."
Coach: Mike Chole (third season)
Record: 6-12, seventh
Outlook: When league coaches speak of up-and-coming teams, Novato is at the top of that list. With five returning players, including all-league selections Matt Briggs (first team), Andy Fronczak (second team) and Max Holloway (honorable mention), the Hornets are aiming to improve on their six-win campaign last spring. Alex Dunnaway and Garrett Heath provide depth at the end of the lineup.
Last word: "It's a nice mix of returning players and some new guys, which is always good," Chole said. "We got some potential to be a pretty good team. Our goal is to make MCAL playoffs. I think we'll be competitive."
Coach: Ben Kline (second season)
Record: 15-3, MCAL champions
Outlook: The Giants enter as the favorites after winning the last two MCAL titles. With arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league behind Jon Shaw, Chris Laub and Alex Gotz, Redwood is poised for a run at three straight championships. With no JV competition in the league, Redwood kept a developmental program and will look for players to step up into a varsity role.
Last word: "I'm confident my top three guys will be pretty consistent," Kline said. "But depth is what makes a real difference in this league and it's going to be who steps up behind Chris and Jon and Alex."
Coach: Ron Everette (first season)
Record: 4-14, eighth
Outlook: Everette takes over the Bulldogs after serving as an assistant last spring. San Rafael returns five players, including honorable mention Mora Ouneklap. Cameron Pierre will be the team's lone senior, and will be joined by underclassmen Danny Waite, Ryan Muirhead and John Brown.
Last word: "We have some really good players who've made great progress from last year," Everette said. "I feel like with a little more endurance and understanding what it is to play the game, we should have a pretty good season."
Coach: Bob Lacy (10th season)
Record: 9-9, sixth
Outlook: Lacy is extremely optimistic, citing his team's depth as its biggest strength. The Mustangs are led by returning all-MCAL honorable mention Taylor Myers in a junior-heavy group with Robbie Hogan, Chris Schaub and Christian Seyler. Brad Walchli is the team's senior captain, and sophomore Jackson Crowe will round out the lineup. San Marin is another sleeper team to watch that could cause havoc at the top of the standings.
Last word: "It's as deep as it's been in the 10 years I've been coaching here," Lacy said. "Every member of our team is capable of shooting par or better. They are highly motivated and dedicated to the game, carrying themselves with a conservative swagger that is fun to watch."
Coach: Mark Campagna (sixth season)
Last year: 10-8, fifth
Outlook: The Red-tailed Hawks have built a consistently competitive program under Campagna and should again find themselves in the playoffs at the end. Returning All-MCAL honorable mention Sean Lee leads Tam. The returning core includes Chris Byrne, Ted Feeney, Tiberio Visona and Riley Kuffener. Last year's second-team selection Tucker Nichols is expected to rejoin the team in late March as he is involved in school activities.
Last word: "We should make MCAL playoffs, and we have an influx of sophomores and juniors this year, which is usually not the case," Campagna said. "We're really excited with the newcomers out this year and we're looking forward to what they can contribute."
Coach: Steve Troya (second season)
Last year: 0-18, 10th
Outlook: It's been a rough stretch for the Trojans over the past four seasons, going a combined 1-71 since 2009. However, there is a sense of optimism with a returning core that shaved off 100 strokes from the season opener (386) to the finale (286) last spring. Returning honorable mention Nile Motha-Dorsey leads the group, along with Austin Koblick, Andy Watson, Niko Shihadah and Mike Castro.
Last word: "The winning will come with playing better," Troya said. "It would mean the world to me (to get a win). I'd love to get a few wins. I don't know if it's doable at this time, but right now for me, the improvement is seeing these guys' scores down a little bit."
Outside the MCAL
Coach: Jim Reed (sixth season)
Last year: 10-1, 8-1 Bay Counties League West, second place
Outlook: Despite losing three of its top six players to graduation, Marin Academy should again contend in the BCL West. The Wildcats are the defending NCS Division II champions and are led by returners Matt Cutcliffe and Joe LaHorgue. Freshmen Will Bednarz and Seiichiro Nakai bring junior golf experience to the team.
Last word: "I'd like for us to win the league," Reed said. "My players have to keep focused on their games and focus on playing the best they can every match and every time out. If we do that, then they'll do well."

The art of fine art management
Have you ever watched Antiques Roadshow‡? This popular public television show shares interesting stories of people happily discovering their personal treasures are actually quite valuable (or sometimes not!). Imagine learning that a famous designer of the late 1800's made your great-grandmother's favorite lamp or a rare piece of pottery you purchased on vacation is actually a sought-after piece. Fortunately, you don't have to appear on Antiques Roadshow to learn the value of your own pieces or how to protect and possibly increase their value. There are other ways that are more easily accessible.
"The Red Couch"

Many people spend their lives collecting items that not only bring them personal enjoyment, but may significantly increase in value over time. Whether it's fine artwork, collectibles (baseball cards), memorabilia (original Beatles or Elvis merchandise) or rare objects (antiques), you should consider these items important personal assets‡. Much like stocks and bonds, they are an important part of a full estate plan. But people don't always think of them in this way.
By working with trusted professionals, you can ensure that your valuable items will get the attention they need during your lifetime and beyond.
So, what steps should you take to preserve and protect your fine art or collectibles?
Identify and protect
Find a fine art management expert who can help you identify items that should receive additional attention to help preserve, and in some cases, maximize their worth. This person can also provide counsel on valuation (or appraisal), insurance, storage and other very specialized services that may be important in maintaining the object's value.
Organize and document
Proper documentation and cataloguing is critical. An experienced professional can help record the history and provide a comprehensive inventory of all pieces, an important aspect in maintaining their value. In the same way a museum inventories their collection, an expert can provide the same level of service and system support for your fine objects. Your record can then be updated as pieces are added or removed so the inventory is always complete. A detailed account of each item, including where and how each piece was acquired, can make a significant difference in value, plus, it's a fun history lesson for you and your heirs.
Plan for the unexpected
It's important that your estate plans include details of how you want these assets distributed. Will they be gifted to a museum, a family member or a non-profit? Will these objects be liquidated‡ so the funds can be passed on to relatives, loved ones or charitable organizations? Who will you trust to handle the actual distribution? These processes can be complicated and confusing. Your fine art management expert can help address and carry out these plans.
It's never too early to get started on protecting your valued unique assets. Owners have much to gain by educating themselves about the care and protection of their personal treasures. Establishing a thoughtful, well-planned legacy ensures beloved items will be expertly managed both now and in the future.

A die (singular for dice) is placed in the square hole in the wallet. Of course, it can't go anywhere- it is blocked by the mirror. But then, bit by bit, it very slowly sinks until it completely passes right through the mirror and drops through to the table! And YOU CAN DO this trick immediately!
And that's all you need!

The Art of Midwifery
A chiropractor in Eugene, Oregon, recommends the following technique for relaxation and ease of back labor. With the woman positioned on hands and knees, or in any forward-leaning position she finds comfortable, the midwife stands next to her at the waist, cephlad to pelvis (facing away from the woman's head). She puts pressure with the heel of her hand on the posterior aspect of (behind) the sacrum and applies downward pressure to the sacrum in a caudad direction (away from the woman's head). He states that from a chiropractic and neurologic view, this technique is more beneficial than applying pressure to the sacrum in an upward or directly inward direction while positioned behind the woman.

Research to Remember
An unknown American Medical Association (AMA) study showed that pregnant women under chiropractic care have an easier pregnancy and delivery. The study, by Irvin Hendryson, MD, revealed that pregnant women who received chiropractic adjustments in their third trimester were able to carry to term more frequently and deliver children with more comfort. This information was never revealed to the public and the AMA continued to attack chiropractic as "useless and dangerous."

Midwifery and Chiropractic
Midwives and chiropractors offer care that is personal to each individual and specific to every case. Midwives and chiropractors share the unique ability to assess a patient's status with their own hands, and both professions are blessed with the privilege of touching others to bring about a greater quality of life.
These common bonds establish life-long supportive relationships between our two professions. However, there is another cause for alliance and reciprocity between us. It is a specific chiropractic adjustment called the Webster Technique. Developed by Dr. Larry Webster and formerly called the Webster Breech Turning Technique, this particular chiropractic adjustment was previously used during the seventh through ninth months of pregnancy. It was primarily focused on women whose babies were presenting breech or transverse.
Since discovery of the Webster Technique, its protocol has been revised to include women of all stages of pregnancy. Doctors of chiropractic reported a greater than 85% success rate in the technique's ability to balance pelvic structures and remove constraint to the woman's uterus, thereby allowing the baby to turn into the vertex position. The Webster technique is therefore becoming an important part of prenatal care for all women looking to optimize their potential for more natural deliveries.
Midwives around the country are hearing about the technique and seeking chiropractors trained in its use. The two groups are forming alliances in communities, sparing mothers and babies the irreparable damage caused by the growing number of cesarean sections. Midwives are referring patients to chiropractors even before malpresentations are evident; and their practices are reaping the benefits of easier, safer deliveries for both mother and baby.
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) responded to the growing demand for this skill and began a marathon of classes to train chiropractors in the correct application and use of this adjustment. Today, the association maintains the only database available of chiropractors who have been tested and are proficient in the Webster Technique.
ICPA-trained doctors of chiropractic have learned how to apply this specific adjustment, along with other chiropractic techniques, to benefit the mother and baby throughout pregnancy. The need for "crisis care" in the last months of pregnancy is eliminated as more and more midwives refer their women to trained doctors of chiropractic.
As a doctor of chiropractic, I know that one of our greatest objectives is to eliminate as many variables that lead to traumatic birth and potential injury to the newborn's spine, cranium and nervous system as possible. To achieve this goal, we need the help of midwives! We need your valuable services and care for the women in our communities. Our growing support of midwifery will fulfill both groups' mission for natural birthing.
Specific chiropractic care helps to provide an environment for safer, easier, faster deliveries. Midwifery care is known to do so as well. Thus, ICPA encourages all chiropractors to make the effort to meet with and educate the midwives in their areas about their valuable services and show support and enthusiasm for midwives' important care of women and babies. Together we will restore the sanctity and right of natural childbirth.

Question of the Week
Q: I've been researching natural care practices for c-section recovery, but have come up short in both Midwifery Today and Mothering magazines.
Thus, I have both a comment and a question. First, I am an advocate for homebirths. I planned one for myself with a midwife and a doula, but I ended up having a c-section—my son was 2-1/2 weeks late, my cervix was very firm and did not respond to the castor oil or even Cervitol, and my placenta was calcifying. I am sure that my scenario could have played out differently, but it didn't and I am saddened that all I ever read are negative things about c-sections as if we all elect to have them for vain or fear-driven reasons. It would be great to also find articles that inform women on how to care for themselves after undergoing such a surgical experience. So on that note, do you have articles, suggestions for key word searches or Web information that provide information for women who want natural remedies (herbal, food, homeopathic, aromatherapy) for caring for their bodies/mind/spirit after a c-section? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: In a recent episode of "Baby Story," a mom in labor was offered Ambien, a hypnotic, so she could sleep until she went into hard labor. Does anyone have experience with this or other drugs in its class being used during labor? Does it pass into the baby? Isn't this just going back to the era of twilight sleep (scopolamine—a hypnotic—and morphine)?
— Anonymous
A: Ambien is a mild sleeping pill with a short half-life. It is considered Pregnancy Category C, which means that we really do not have adequate studies to evaluate whether it is safe or unsafe. Some providers will prescribe it for a short time at the end of pregnancy to enable the mother to get some rest. It is not considered appropriate for use during labor. I can assure you that it is not strong enough to cause the loss of conscious awareness that was associated with "twilight sleep" during labor that was induced by using scopolamine in the past. However it has been associated with some bizarre side-effects including "sleep driving" and binge eating while sleeping. I would recommend natural approaches to relaxation first (warm milk or "Sleepy Time" Tea, warm bath, back rub, soothing music, listening to relaxation tapes), with prescription drugs as a last resort. If a mother chooses to take Ambien, she should take it very carefully and for as short a period of time as possible.
— Anita Jaynes, CNM
A: I have had two doula clients who used Ambien.
The first was because she had the flu for three weeks and the fundal height for her twins had not changed in two weeks despite being 37 weeks pregnant. She had lost weight, and hadn't gone a day without vomiting or gotten a good night's sleep in all that time. She was also mildly dehydrated. She was offered Ambien to help her rest overnight while doing a gel induction to be followed by Pitocin induction in the morning. This mother had major hallucinations for over 12 hours in response to the medication and did not have any memories of the births of her babies despite being technically conscious.
The second was offered it because she had been in "prodromal hell" for four days and was still closed tightly without any effacement. She took the Ambien, got four hours of sleep and went into full blown labor. While she had memory of the birth, she was very groggy and "out of sorts" for the whole labor and birth.

Think about It
Debbie Miller, CNM, passed away on February 9, 2008, after a car accident. She worked at Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn in the 1980s, where she assisted in births of women of many nationalities. Her next position was as a midwife at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital from 1985–1994, while she finished her MPH at Columbia University. From there she moved to work in a birthing center and ended her career in her home state, Vermont, in the midwifery service at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Deb possessed a global vision for maternity and women's health. You can help to honor her passion for the people of Africa and for the cause of providing quality health services to those in need by donating in her name to the LWALA Community Alliance. Their current project is the creation of a maternity clinic and health service in Lwala, Kenya, to be commemorated in her name. [LCA, P.O. Box 722, Hanover NH 03755 (firstname.lastname@example.com).]
Exciting news! On May 16, "20/20," the acclaimed ABC-TV news show is dedicating its show to Orgasmic Birth as part of its Mother's Day program. Debra Pascali-Bonaro, producer/director of the new film Orgasmic Birth, will be interviewed, as will women's health advocate Christiane Northrup, MD, (Mother-Daughter Wisdom and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), and Amber Hartnell, whose orgasmic birth is featured on Birth As We Know It and Orgasmic Birth.

I just read the article by Cheryl Smith in E-News 10:8 about malaria in pregnancy. I am not a midwife but I am a Chinese Herbalist and have practiced this for 25 years. I lived and studied in China with a teacher who was both a gynecologist and an obstetrician. She used both western and Chinese herbs in her 50 year practice with an emphasis on traditional medicine. Because of the labor-inducing effect of quinine type drugs and the prevalence of malaria in her practice, she was skilled at the use of herbs to treat this. She has case studies and writings on this very topic. There are very effective ways to treat this but these methods are virtually unknown in the west. I have translated some of this material myself. Any suggestions on how to offer up this precious knowledge?
— Sharon Weizenbaum
A couple of important notes from my experience with malaria. Bear in mind that this experience is in West Africa, where we've had no way to do lab work, no oxygen, no advanced support or even basic support in some areas.
First, malaria is caused by parasites that inhabit the red blood cells. After the initial episode, they often "hide" in the liver (for obvious reasons), and when the person is sick, stressed or pregnant, the parasites become active. In pregnant women, they congregate in the placenta. Understanding that it is a parasite, rather than a bacterium or virus, helps you understand its behavior. Also, there are four major types of malaria, which vary in symptoms and severity of the attacks.
Second, as women are susceptible to first attacks and relapses during pregnancy, the babies are affected by the high fevers as well as lack of red blood cells. The babies are often anemic and very slow to breathe. If we can get them breathing, we still lose a number of them in the first 12 hours or so.

X-rays negative, Phillips in lineup vs. Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- X-rays taken Thursday on the sore right index finger of second baseman Brandon Phillips were negative. Diagnosed with a contusion, and having been examined by the team's medical staff before and after batting practice, Phillips was in the lineup, batting fourth, on Friday vs. the Brewers.
In the sixth inning of Thursday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers, Phillips fielded a Yasiel Puig grounder for a potential double play.
The ball caught Phillips' finger, he bounced the flip to shortstop Zack Cozart and the Reds settled for one out. In the eighth inning, Phillips was lifted for pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick.
"He had a lot of swelling in that at-bat he had after he injured his finger," manager Bryan Price said. "It was very painful. He could have stayed in that game to play defense. Because we got to his spot in the order, I decided to make that change and hit there."

PHOENIX (AP) Ichiro Suzuki wasted little time reaching another milestone after a rare day off.
Suzuki led off the game with his 2,500th career hit and finished 4 for 5 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored and the Seattle Mariners outlasted the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-9 in 10 innings on Tuesday night.
''If you look at me know and if you look at me when I first got here in 2001, if I said my first day that my goal is to hit 2,500, on that day people would say that I was crazy,'' Suzuki said through an interpreter. ''Now looking at, things do come true.''
Between his nine seasons in the Japanese Pacific League and his 12-plus seasons in Seattle, Ichiro has 3,781 hits, the third most among professional players in either country, trailing only Pete Rose and Ty Cobb.
The milestone came the night after Seattle manager Eric Wedge had given Suzuki his second day off of the season.
''Yesterday was tough for me,'' Ichiro said. ''It was very regrettable because you want to go out there and perform but I understand the skipper's situation. It depends from here on how I will be given the day off.''
Wedge had no doubts spending a night in the dugout helped his right fielder.
''You saw the way he swung the bat today,'' Wedge said. ''From his first swing in his first at-bat when he fouled that pitch back, that got my attention right away. Then he dropped a couple in there and hit a couple hard.
''It is something that he has to understand that it's not a bad thing if you get a day off now and then. I know what he is conditioned for and that he wants to play every day but what we are looking for is getting the most out of everybody over 162 games.''
Suzuki capped the Mariners' three-run 10th inning when he used his classic inside-out swing to slice a double just inside the left-field line a few feet past the third-base bag, easily scoring Casper Wells to put Seattle in front 12-9.
Wells had hit a pinch-hit, two-run single off sidewinding right-hander Brad Ziegler to give the Mariners an 11-9 lead.
J.J. Putz (1-4) walked Justin Smoak leading off the 10th, Dustin Ackley looped a single to center, moving pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki to second and Brendan Ryan advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt before Wells came to the plate.
''I was kind of picking up where he released from, which basically was the dirt,'' Wells said. ''I was looking for a pitch that I could handle and hit it hard. You have to have your focus.''
Smoak, Ryan and Kyle Seager homered for the Mariners, who have won three of their past four.
Aaron Hill, Gerardo Parra and Paul Goldschmidt homered for the Diamondbacks, who saw their six-game home winning streak snapped.
Charlie Furbish (3-1) struck out four over two scoreless innings and Tom Wilhelmsen struck out the side in the ninth for his fifth save.
Putz pitched one inning plus the two batters, giving up two earned runs on a hit and a walk with one strikeout.
''Asking J.J. to go out there for the 10th, I knew it was going to be a tough task,'' said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson. ''He hasn't pitched in eight days then we ask him to go out for a second inning. It's a situation where you're just trying to get as much out of your pitchers as you can.''
Miguel Montero had given the Diamondbacks a 9-8 lead in sixth with an RBI single off Lucas Luetge, the first earned run the rookie had allowed in 26 appearances. Suzuki drove in Ryan with a sacrifice fly to right against David Hernandez in the eighth to tie the game 9-9.
Arizona rallied from an earlier 2-0 deficit three runs in the third, the last two coming on a double to left by Goldschmidt, and made it 5-2 in the fourth on the solo home runs by Parra and Hill.
Seager and Ryan each hit three-run homers to power a six-run fifth inning that gave the Mariners an 8-5 lead.
Goldschmidt homered in the bottom of the inning to start a three-run rally that tied the game at 8-8.
Arizona starter Daniel Hudson allowing seven runs in four-plus innings on 10 hits with two walks. He struck out six. It was the second time in three starts the right-hander has failed to make it through five full innings.
''I don't know what's going on right now,'' Hudson said. ''I've just got to figure it out. It's just a stretch where when I make a good pitch it finds a hole and I can't make a pitch to get out of an inning.''
Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez also pitched four innings, giving up five runs - four earned - on seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts.
''When you're in a National League game and your starter gives you four innings and your long guy gives you two outs, you're really up against it,'' Wedge said.
NOTES: Wells is 9 for 17 with a homer and four RBIs since he was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on June 13. . Mariners relievers had allowed only one run in their past 19 innings before giving up four runs in their first two innings Tuesday. ... Hill doubled in the first for his fifth consecutive hit before hitting a sacrifice fly to shallow center in the third to end his streak. ... RHP Trevor Cahill takes the mound for Arizona against LHP Jason Vargas in an afternoon getaway day game on Wednesday. Vargas is 2-0 in his career against the Diamondbacks but hasn't started against Arizona since June 20, 2009. Cahill is 3-0 with a 0.77 ERA in his last three starts.

Bruce Michael Hall (Joey, OLTL; ex Reese, PAS) and Seth Hall (Reese, PAS) at Saddle Ranch
Hot new country band ROWDY, whose members include identical twin brothers, Bruce Michael Hall (Joey, OLTL; ex Reese, PAS) and Seth Hall (Reese, PAS) will play at Saddle Ranch / Universal City Walk on Saturday, August 30 from 8:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.
The Hall Twins will also sign autographs and meet with their fans prior to the show from 7:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
ROWDY is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Seth Hall (current Reese on
Passions) and Hall's identical twin brother, Bruce Michael Hall (former Reese on Passions and starring as Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live). The country band mixes and matches styles from Elvis to Hank Williams, Jr.
Raised on a farm in St. Joseph, Missouri, Seth and Bruce have played the club circuit across the country from Kansas City to Los Angeles since 1990 and headlined in Nashville at Soap Fan Fare. As lead vocalist, Seth derived his inspiration from such famed front men as David Allan Coe, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings all of whose on-stage personalities and musical contributions remain apocryphal. When not co-writing lyrics with Seth, Bruce, who also plays traditional stand-up bass, joins in on the harmonies.
The Rowdy CD is soon to be released.

LAFCO meeting on UCSC water canceled
The Local Agency Formation Commission of Santa Cruz County has canceled its meeting scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to hear applications related to extending water service to the North Campus of UC Santa Cruz.
As part of a 2008 settlement with the university over campus growth plans, the city of Santa Cruz applied to expand its sphere of influence and the university filed a related application for the new water service. The commission canceled the hearing after a state appellate court ruled an environmental analysis underpinning the applications was inadequate.
LAFCO will meet at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 9 in Room 525 of the County Governmental Center, 701 Ocean St., to determine the next steps. The Santa Cruz City Council will discuss the case in a closed session beginning at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.
City Council to weigh housing addition
The Santa Cruz City Council will meet in a special session at 7 p.m. Tuesday to consider a 13-home project on nearly 1.8 acres at 272 DeLaveaga Park Road. The meeting will be in the City Council chamber, 809 Center St.
The infill project calls for variations in lot and site standards, as well as relocating 13 palm trees and removing 12 eucalyptus trees, all of which are heritage trees. The plans also call for sidewalk improvements, nearly 17,000 square feet of open space and a riparian restoration program to remove non-native species.
The Planning Commission voted Nov. 15 to recommend approval of the plans with some conditions. Neighbors have expressed concern about an 18-foot proposed water easement, which the commission said should be designed to preserve their privacy.
PVUSD to acknowledge board members
The Pajaro Valley Unified School District will recognize former Trustee Sandra Nichols for her nearly 12 years of service at its meeting Wednesday.
Nichols resigned from her seat in August to launch a successful run for the Santa Cruz County Board of Education. She'll be sworn in to her new position Dec. 20.
The Pajaro Valley board also will swear in new Trustees Maria Orozco and Lupe Rivas and returning Trustee Karen Osmundson, who will start a third term. The board will meet at 7 p.m. at 294 Green Valley Road.
Holiday fair benefits Second Harvest Food Bank
A portion of the proceeds from a holiday fair Saturday on the Westside of Santa Cruz will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County. The event will be from 3-8 p.m. at New Leaf Community Market, 1101 Fair Ave.
A dozen artists and crafters will sell handmade gifts, and there will also be tastings offered by local wine- and beer-makers. Other activities will include pictures with Santa Claus, a Christmas tree sale, live music and a raffle.
A number of food trucks will sell items, and KPIG will broadcast live from 3-5 p.m. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will have adoptable pets to meet. Attendees who bring nonperishable food donations will receive a free raffle ticket.
Caroling in the village slated for Friday
The Soquel High Jazz Singers will lead holiday caroling in Capitola Village on Friday night.
Those who wish to participate should meet at 6 p.m. Friday at the Christmas tree at Capitola and Stockton avenues, in front of Quality Market.
The Jazz Singers will perform before strolling around the village. Warm coats and a flashlight are advised; songbooks will be provided along with refreshments from Shadowbrook Restaurant. Caroling is sponsored by Capitola Village and the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce.
