A Cook County judge will decide next month whether prosecutors can bolster their felony sex case against an Oak Lawn doctor by introducing a pending misdemeanor battery charge.
An Oak Lawn doctor charged with groping a woman in his car will find out next month if the time he allegedly molested a semi-conscious patient can be used against him in court.

Moms Council members share ideas for managing a budding coffee habit.
First bra, first kiss, first car. They're rites of passage as kids rush through adolescence, anxious to punch the ticket to adulthood. And as they consider the next big thing that will bring them ever-closer to the goal, coffee enters the picture. As coffee chains appeal more and more to the sugary palate of a vast majority of their patrons, coffee really isn't coffee any longer. It's a delicious confection of fats and sugars that make it not only appealing to the younger crowd, but a fashion statement that whispers "I am of age."
