The plethora of female teachers charged with sexual misconduct with their male students is now such a common news headline that playwright Linda Felton Steinbaum was compelled to write her new play, Mustang Sally, which addresses the intriguing similarities of the families of the perpetrators. "To say these families are dysfunctional is an understatement," says Linda. "And so many of them! It's shocking how young the majority of the victims are. Most assume that if a female teacher finds herself in an inappropriate relationship with an underage boy, he must be very mature and manly. Not so. Almost fifty percent of these boys are 13 or younger." Listed here are just a few of the cases that have...

At one point in time, even if it were being avoided, parties in business relationships would tend to sour. This is often the reason for business disputes to turn up. Even if all the parties involved have the best intentions, each side would always view their particular position as the reasonable one and that the business practices they would like to implement as ethical. It is a widely known concept that the law is cognizant of the fact that reasonable minds could differ. When each view and positions become rooted, there will be a tendency of refusing to bend and compromise. This is when a business dispute may arise. Business people involved in a dispute usually consider filing a corporate lawsuit...

When designing the perfect meditation room for your own personal use, one must keep in mind that the overall theme will be that of peace and serenity. These two words, though they have the same literal definition, have a decidedly different meaning for everyone. The perfect meditation room for one individual will likely seem slightly flawed to another. To be more precise, one person's idea of serenity may not be another's. One person may connect serenity and peace to sitting on a deserted beach, while another would consider it to be at the heart of a forest at sunset with the sound of hundreds of Crickets chirping. In reference to the perfect peaceful setting, no two individuals are alike. The first...

"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle."-Abraham Lincoln Eek. The dreadful Jury Duty Summons arrives in the mail again. I'm all for the jury system, mind you, but those of us who aren't on corporate payrolls don't get a paycheck during the time we serve. Oh, well, "one day or one trial" isn't so bad. I am ready to do my civic duty. I believe in our government and the trial-by-jury-of-our-peers system. If a case of mine were being tried, wouldn't I want me to be on the jury? My mood improved, I call in on the appointed day and receive instructions to show up Monday. I mentioned this to my family the day before at our family gathering for Mother's Day...

The dramatic life of the Murphy case came to a quiet end when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case which signaled the taxation of personal injury damages.

The lack of diversity is problematic in the employment arena...

The Need to Abolish Mandatory Schooling By Punkerslut Some people are under the impression that brilliant minds will always supercede the potential of their institutionalized learning environments, causing them serious conflicts. Few will doubt that brilliant minds find intellectual constriction in all universities and mandatory schooling. A genius cannot bear the pain of others fumbling with a simple subject.

Those who survived schooling and continued to think were only the strongest of the will and the greatest of heart. All children at their start are tumultuous...

You need never step foot into a courtroom as all discussions are held in the...
