Professional Services are infrequent, technical, or unique functions performed by independent contractors or consultant whose occupation is the rendering of such services. While not limited to licentiates (individuals holding professional licences), the services are considered "professional" and the contract may run to partnerships, firms, or corporations as well as to individuals. Examples of professional services contracts include: accountants, appraisers, archaeologists, attorneys, business consultants, architects, engineers, law firms, physicians, performing artists, researchers, and real estate brokers. The selection of an independent contractor or consultant providing professional services is usually based on skill, knowledge, reputation, and creativity. Price may be a secondary factor in the selection.

'The Fly' Stirs New Buzz — On The Operatic Stage Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:36:00 -0400 Science fiction isn't typical source material for opera. Which is why Placido Domingo was a little surprised when The Fly landed on his desk. But David Cronenberg and Howard Shore's opera opens Sept. 7 in Los Angeles.
Joan Acocella: A festival for everyone. Joan Acocella Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 For anyone who doesn’t know about it by now, the Fall for Dance Festival is a two-week series that takes place every September, at City Center, and has a notable entry fee: ten dollars a seat, every seat.

Review: 'Ping Pong Playa' Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:00:00 -0500 Comedy about a basketball star who gets roped into the family table tennis business is fitfully amusing.
