I have to say that it's awfully strange to get Parents magazine in the mail along with AARP magazine, but it has really been an amazing thing. I never thought I was going to have children.

They found that the initial flight ban and general decline in air travel in the weeks after delayed the onset of the flu season but did little to reduce the overall number of infections and deaths that year...
...teaches in the University of Michigan's Film and Video Studies Program. He grew tired of watching his students decamp for New York City and Los Angeles on graduation. The Michigan Film Commission, of which Burnstein is a member, had been "looking into how to attract Hollywood," he says. "But this wasn't just about bringing money into the state. It was a matter of the taxpayers we were already losing." Tena Constas is one of those prodigal Michiganders, a location scout for Betty Anne Waters who recently moved back after five years in Chicago. One of the draws? "Everything...
