A Closer Look  VA finally approves iBOT for Tracy Franklin; he provides tips on how you can get one.

Living Well  Second Look program provides down-the-road "tune-up" service for people with spinal-cord injury.

Veteran Advisor  Various vision problems are discussed; it's important to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist.

Sports and Recreation  Coverage of the PVA/ABWA Tournament Series opening event in Las Vegas. Also: Sailing.
