We have previously written about how difficult it can be to put an aging relative in a nursing home. There are feelings of guilt, of course, but there is also worry. Will my loved one receive good care and attention? Will they enjoy living here or hate it? Are there any alternative options? Unfortunately, nursing […]
Michigan residents who choose to ride motorcycles often put themselves at great risk. Motorcyclists are highly vulnerable to injuries.

Earlier this week, we began a discussion about the movie “Spotlight,” which has earned numerous accolades and is nominated for several Oscars. It tells the story of a small group of reporters from the Boston Globe who publicly exposed one of the Catholic Church’s biggest and darkest secrets.

There is a term that is sometimes used in connection with allegations of child sex abuse. That term is “passing the trash.” When a teacher (or other school employee) is accused of abusing children, they should be turned over to police and publicly fired.

In what seems like a second, a two-car collision can evolve into a many-vehicle affair. If the collision occurs on a busy highway, it is possible for dozens of vehicles to get pulled into the wreck.
