Professional Development: Why an Online “To-Do” List and Notes Are So Important
If you want to significantly improve your productivity, you need to carefully select and adopt an efficient process, especially how you organize your “to-do” list and take notes. Numerous professionals still write out their daily to-do list on a piece of paper or even on individual sticky notes.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
