...belly-dancing and get a drink at Dhakota's, the company bar. "It's like a big playground," says Steve Lawrence, one of Cathay's training and development managers. The rooftop patio hosts just about every hokey team-building exercise ever invented. Trainees regularly participate in 100-person lap sits, in which each person sits on the next one's knees, forming a circle while trying mightily to stay balanced. There are blindfolded "trust walks" and, until recently, group-dancing first thing in the morning. Sadly, Morning Boogie was phased out after the speaker system got blown away...
...ASPCA culture instead of a cramped metal cage at Mutts R Us. And I'm a genuine dog lover: I cried at the end of Old Yeller just like everyone else. Our dog is one of Miami's most coddled canines. (He's on my lap right now as I write this because a loud thunderstorm is spooking him.)

She smiled, charmed, even casually addressed a few of those reporters by their first name. She showed no signs that her steroid denials, which we now know were flat-out lies, were causing any stress. She reminded us that she never failed a drug test. "The athletes who have...
...February 2006 photo of Britney Spears steering her SUV out of a Starbucks parking lot in Malibu, Calif., with her infant son, Sean Preston, slumped on her lap was the first sign for many of us that the young mom might not be ready for parenthood. By the time a Los Angeles judge temporarily stripped the pop singer of custody of Sean, now 2, and Jayden James, 1, on Monday, Spears had provided dozens more images that suggest she is unable to care for two young children. From her impromptu head-shaving to her trips to rehab to her recent...
