I just had my mind expanded this morning by Laureen Hudson's hour long online session on how to use the internet to get a message out. Laureen's session “Creating an Online Presence," gave me a wealth of information in a short time and impressed me with how many people are out there who completely rely on the internet for their information. I needed that, and maybe you do, too. - Ina May Gaskin I just hung up the phone from doing the hour long session with
Laureen Hudson on “Creating an Online Presence”. Laureen’s know-how
and expertise were enough to wake up even the birth oldtimers like me and
Ina May to the many unused opportunities of the internet. Laureen’s
engaging and easygoing teaching style made even those scary (to me) terms
like “hypertext, streaming, wordpress, technorati, feedreader and trackback”
start to make sense. Her passion is to reach the generation of young
women who have not yet given birth BEFORE they fall into the black hole
of aggressive obstetrics. I came away from the class today with lots
of ways to improve my website and make it more modern, usable and interesting
for readers. This class will run again this coming Friday (August
22) and I heartily recommend it.
Cost: $35 per session Each session will be 60 minutes in length Creating An Online Presence

From: C-upi@clari.net (UPI) Subject: Drive-through delivery bill passes Organization: Copyright 1997 by United Press International Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 16:40:41 PDTSACRAMENTO, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A bill passed by the state Senate would conform California to the federal requirement that a mother and newborn get hospital care for at least 48 hours after delivery.
But the bill would take effect immediately once the governor signs it, rather than next Jan. 1, as the federal law does.
The bill by Assemblywoman Liz Figueroa, D-Fremont, also conforms to the federal requirement for a 96-hour hospital say following a Caesarean section.
Unlike the federal law, it would allow the mother to be released before the 48- and 96-hour limits if she and a physician decide that she is ready to go home.
In such cases, she must have a followup visit by a qualified physician or nurse professional.
The protections address so-called drive-through deliveries where managed care providers release mothers soon after delivery to cut hospital costs.
The Senate returned the measure to the Assembly today for concurrence
in Senate amendments. The unamended version passed the Assembly earlier.
