D.C. on Sunday, April 25 demanding justice, privacy, and human rights

Labor
Intensive — The Evolution of Childbearing
Childbirth management has been disputed turf since the invention
of forceps by the barber-surgeons of the Middle Ages. Modern-day
childbirth practices are governed by organizations that have long
been run mostly by men — the American Board of Obstetrics
and Gynecology (ABOG), founded in 1930, and the American College
of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG), founded in 1950. These organizations
control who practices hospital obstetrics, and how they do it. ACOG
and ABOG also influence laws governing childbirth outside the hospital

matter, so that, even now, it is illegal to choose a home birth
with a midwife in many U.S. states, including New York.

Summertime
in Vermont and the Learnin’ is Easy
Summer is a hot time for continuing education courses in Vermont.
Whether it’s the green lawns and beckoning beaches, just ripe
for studying, or the long summer days that urge us to renew, stretch,
and broaden ourselves a bit, Vermont’s colleges, university,
campus centers, and communities are gearing up for a season of enrichment.

can delve into, we decided to hit the topic from three completely
different vantage points — adult learner, parent and child,
and artisanal. With a full listing of Web sites and course offerings,
there’s sure to be something to tempt the lifelong learners
among us.
