Memphis, Elvis, And Graceland
Roads Traveled with Linda L. Osmundson
My high school years were filled with Elvis Presley; his music and movies. I loved the candid pictures of his naturally radiant smile rather than the sexy serious looks of promotional shots.

Once his Las Vegas days and concerts in later years included news of substance abuse, women, and more explicit gyrations, some fans dropped away, including me. Still, I grieved upon hearing of his early death. So the only place I

Safety in Homebirth
By Janelle Boyington, RM, CPM
Although the prevalent belief in much of our United States culture is that the hospital is the safest place for giving birth, statistics demonstrate that homebirth is at least as safe, if not safer. A landmark study, the CPM 2000 Statistics Project, was published in the British Medical Journal (June 18, 2005). Through this prospective study of 5,500 homebirths, we
