INDIANAPOLIS... "Auto racing, bull-fighting and mountain- climbing are the only real sports," Ernest Hemingway once wrote. "All the others are games. It had been more than a decade since my last trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but it took only one look at a hot lap in qualifying to remember Hemingway's quote and my first impression of the place: Why in the world do these men (and women) do this?
The Velvet Underground's first album only sold 10,000 copies," Brian Eno's famous quote posits, "but everyone who bought it formed a band. The Beach Boys were never remotely in the same universe of rock hipsterdom that the Velvets have long occupied, but they may top Lou Reed and company in terms of a nexus for far-reaching musical impact: The Southern California group's endlessly mythologized "Smile" album was never commercially released until now, yet it created an indelible impression on successive generations of musicians in its wake.
I often quote a former practice advisor for the Law Society of Alberta, Paul McLaughlin, who suggests that all receptionists should be viewed as "Managers of First and Last Impression." I could not agree more, as our receptionists are the first to greet visitors in person and by phone. Their marketing "hats" are huge when you think of the positive or negative impact they can make on behalf of the office. And yet receptionists are generally the least paid and most poorly trained, and too often are not given the same respect from their co-workers that other "higher" firm positions receive. In keeping with the crusade to re-title receptionists, I propose we change the title of supervisor or boss to "Coach." In my experience, attorneys and support staff are in dire need of many things gre...

My first thoughts were she doesn't understand the situation in its entirety: she believes she is helping "Thomas." I'm sure she doesn't know the "Thomas" who taught me how to "trock up" cocaine. Nor the "Thomas" who told me -to go out and earn a drag dealers allowance so as to provide for myself and free him from the responsibility of parenthood. The quote painted upon my office wall seemed a little bigger. "FEAR NOT JUDEMENT OR LIFE, WORK OUT, READ AND WRITE". I lifted my chin and asked 'Thomas" what his idea of a "Father Son" relationship entailed? His reply was, "Well, there is not much I can do for you now, you're a grown man". I told him that I could not trust him in my home and that my contact information remains die same and he has always been able to call me. I got the impressio...

[Wali Jamal Abdullah] has come closer to this ideal with the opening of his first play, "The Legend of The Black Mariner: The Life and Times of Robert Smalls" Feb. 9. "Legend of the Black Mariner" is the first of several historical adaptations Jamal-Abdullah plans to bring to the stage. He said he chose to tell the story of Smalls, a slave who stole a confederate ship to secure his freedom, first because the story was one that made a lasting impression on him. It's my opinion that if the historians put Robert Smalls in the history books, that it would inspire young Black people," said Jamal-Abdullah. "They're like 'Whoa, we don't want a whole country full of Robert Smalls.' They would say something stupid like 'They're going to be stealing all of our ships' when it wasn't about that--h...
