More passings
It is not an unusual sight for me to look up and see my daughter Alexis with her face in a book. So when I interrupted her, as she navigated the ottomans and coffee tables with ease, never coming close to a bump on her shin or a stubbed toe, it was only to remark at her choice of bound paragraphs.

What the law has made …
In 1975, during a study break before my first set of law school exams, I wrote a song.
Even now my classmates remember and remind me of that song.

Therapy dogs provide a special kind of healing, connection to patients
It takes a special dog to be a therapy dog, says Lisa Morgan, the coordinator of the department of recreational therapy at Siskin Rehabilitation hospital and the head of the pet therapy program at Siskin and T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital.
The work of therapy dogs produces profound results as these animals come into the hospitals and walk from patient to patient, offering up all their services. This leads patients to respond to the animals by incorporating the animal in their therapy and healing process, enjoying their non-judgmental and peaceful presence and remembering their own beloved pets through these visitors.

Being on top in tough times takes professionalism, dedication
It’s no secret that the past few years have been a difficult trek for real estate agents across the nation. Watching the size of a closing contract grow in page count, seeing the restrictions on loans tighten, watching the foreclosure listing numbers rise and seeing price cuts on perfectly decent homes run rampant because of the overstock has not been unusual for agents nationwide.

"The Black Swan"
In “Black Swan,” the artistic director of a New York City ballet company chooses “Swan Lake” as the opening production for the company’s new season. “It’s been done to death,” he says to his dancers. “But we’re going to do it differently.”
