During the cold weather`s day,diving into a weightier tome you have not had time to tackle.In the summer you are at the beach,and you are interrupted and distracted.In the winter,you can hunker down for some thing truely literary that is longer than you`d read in the summer.

What book will make the perfect movie.When I was a little girl,I liked Walt Disney`s cartoon deeply.Any Disney offshoot,I`ll be all over.If they make another children`s fair story movie,I will go to see it in a short time.In my opinion,we can see children`s fair story movie in the cold weather,even if we`re growing up now.

Mayoral race grows

Chicago Tribune
Two prominent African-American elected officials launched their candidacies for Chicago mayor wthin hours of each other Sunday despite weeks of behind-the-scenes wrangling by some black leaders to unite behind a single candidate. Veteran West Side U.S. Rep. Danny Davis and state Sen. James Meeks, who is pastor of a massive South Side church, each declared at rallies they would represent all areas of the city if elected. Some black aldermen, ministers ans businessmen had sought to select a "consensus" candidate in an attempt to unify African-Americans behind a single candidate. Davis was chosen over Meeks and former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun,who also is planning to run. Former Chicago Board of Education President Gery Chico and City Clerk Miguel del Valle also are prepping mayoral bids.
In my opinion, Davis has more experience and would be better for Chicago. Meeks might be good but he doesn’t have government experience. If we have five candidates, each one might get twenty percent of votes. This would be a bad situation because no one would win the election. The candidates has the largest percent would run in another election.

Not so friendly with Facebook

Jimmy Kimmel the last-night talk show host has officially declared Wednesday National Unfriend Day, when the Facebook users should eliminate the friend fat and say goodbye to the people your barely know who keep asking. This is no the first time a movement to unfriend on Facebook has come up. You will participate if you have thousands of friends and have no idea who half of them are or the other half are old high school enemies. Don't participate if: You are just triying to organize and you love knowing every time someone.


In my opinion, i love Facebook, and i don't like the idea. I don't use too much Facebook but, when i want to know somenthing i only looked at Facebook.

Desperate For Diversity

The author of this article is not watching the TV show Desperate Housewives anymore because the show does not make black men to be positive characters. She is saying that every black male character that has come to the show is a criminal or a murderer and the writers must create new ways for black men to be normal.

I used to watch Desperate Housewives everyday and I remember the evil black characters that killed people. I thought that they were only racist for writing the show with only white people as the good characters, but it is complicated. I also hope that the show creates better black men for the show, maybe even interracial.

Final argument/ Gov.Candidates clash Over ethics in closing debate

The candidates also clashed on social is sues, which have become a hot - button topic in the past week following remarks by sate Sen. Rickey Hendon that Sen. Brady was "racist, sexist {and} homophobic." Asked by moderator Carol Marin if his stance against civil union for same - sex couples promotes a hostile environment for gays and lesbians, Brady said "not at all." " The law of Illinois is that marriage would be a protected institution between man and woman, and I support that law,"Brady Said.

I would like to say when some people become a candidate they doesn`t have to look only their own needs because different people has different idea and interest just like them. When I see some of the candidates the just want to do only their need and want to follow their direction not people`s interests and needs.

U.S SPY SPENDING ON THE RISE

The head of the Senate Intelligence committee said it is time to pare own non - military intelligence spending, which has doubled sine the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The Senator indicated there is waste and duplication within the budget and added, "It`s is clear that the over all spending on intelligence has blossomed to an unacceptable level in the past Decade."

In My opinion U.S had spy a lot of money around the world to stop terrorism. I think U.S needs plan and budget in order to have own military and/ or non - military spying. Because it is good having plan and budget before spying and spending money.

From news services nation/world

A Navy aircraft carrier was diverted from a training mission in the Pacific on Tuesday to deliver supplies to an American luxury liner left stranded off the Mexico coast by an engine room fire. The nuclear-powered USS Ronald Reagan anchored at sea near the disabled Carnival Splendor ship about 50 miles west of Punta San Jacinto, Mexico, and 150 miles south of San Diego, as helicopters from the carrier began ferrying food, water and other provision to the marooned vessel, the Navy said. A 952-foot luxury liner with nearly 3,300 passengers and a crew of almost 1,200 aboard was left dead in the water by a fire that erupted in its engine room Monday. No injuries were reported. The blaze, which took about three hours to put out, crippled the Carnival Splendor’s propulsion system and force Carnival to cancel the rest of the voyage. Tug boats were dispatched from Ensenada, Mexico, to tow the crippled vessel back to shore, Hicks said.

In my opinion, that’s their fault. They didn’t check the engine and equipment. They have to tack care of the passengers and the problem. They are doing good because their apologizing and fixing the problem.

Power Play

Chinese President Hu jintao has topped the list of Forbers magazine's list of the world's powerful people, besting President Obama, who slipped to the second spot.
The magazine said it used four criteria to define power-whether the person has influence over a lot of people; whether he or she is powerful in more than one sphere and whether he or she actively wields power.
Julian Assange, the editor of Wikileaks, makes the list (No. 68) as does Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (No. 40) Several accused criminals do too, including al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden (No. 57).


In my opinion, I agree with the magazine about Obama, facebook founder and Osama because this 3 persons are so famous around the world. The last 2 have accused criminals but the people don't care and still

Michelle Obama spent Sunday morning at a local school, where students were celebrating Diwali. Young kids performed dances in colorful saris to mark the festival of lights. The president bobbed his head to the music as well. Young girls danced with baskets on their heads. The young girls pulled Michelle on stage and started dancing.

In my opinion I think it was good for Michelle Obama to interact with the children from India and have fun dancing with them.

Esperanza Medina bowed her head and wept in court Monday morning as a Cook Country judge sentenced a Cicero woman to 44 year in prison for organizing an acid attack against here her in 2008. The assault with sulfuric acid burned a quarter of Medina’s body and left the 50-year-old former social worker with red and white scare covering her face, neck, chest and arms. "This crime was something that was cold and calculated," Judge Nicholas Ford said before handing down the sentence. "What {Garcia} did is terrible and deserves to be punished severely." "I never thought my life would change so much in just second," wrote Medina, who had to move back into her 75-year-old mother’s house following the attack. "I had so many dreams still to achieve, but they were broken down."

In my opinion, the judge was fair. He gave her 44 years in jail. This is right because Garcia threw acid at Esperanza Medina. This action was similar to an assault what Garcia did was similar to murder.

"'For Colored Girls' Already Causing A Stir"

Tyler Perry has directed a famous play by Ntozake Shange which many artists feel is a very important African-American play. Critics are being divided on the new film, even before they have seen it. Some say that the writing of the play will make the film worth watching, but some believe that Tyler Perry's past films are so bad that he will ruin the play. One of the actresses in the film defends Perry and says that he did a very good job.

I have not seen a film by Tyler Perry, but I have heard both good and bad things about him. I believe that anyone has the right to create his own version of another art, and people have the right to see it or not to see it.

For Colored Girls Interview: Thandie Newton in the Kyles Files

Newton plays sexaholic bartender Tangie in the film, which opens Friday and is Perry's re-imagination of what many consider an American treasure, Ntozake Shange's play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf."
Perry already has taken heat for adapting "Colored"--a choreopoem that speaks to different facets of the black female experience. But Newton says she and her co-stars, including Loretta Devine, Kerry Washington, Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad and Whoopi Goldberg, guided Perry along the way--at his insistence.
"He was warm and he was clear [that] he needed us ladies to teach him what was what. He was open to us being the commanders of the drama," she said, adding that they have created a vision of which Shange can be proud.
RedEye chatted with Newton about working with Perry, her knowledge of the play and cussing out America's favorite mom.  But it's better to hear from Newton directly, care of a Q&A I conducted while she was in Chicago promoting the film.  I gave you a little taste of Thandie's remarks in today's paper, but there's more in store after the jump...
In my opinion, I think the people should are created equal! Because even if the skin is different but have the same personality!   So no matter what the skin of people should respect each other.

Ensuring Safe Eating

Page: 3

Date: August 28-2010

Author's name: Reuters

In U.S regulators are investigating salmonella in more than a half billion eggs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it still had not determined the cause of the outbreak but had found no evidence of a problem in two large Iowa egg producers. Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms recalled 550 million eggs last week after they were linked to illnesses across the country. The FDA rule took effect requiriring large-scale producers to practice better safety and to test in the poultry house for salmonella bacteria.Over the last several years we have seen illnesses and deaths from eating cooking dough, peanut butter and spinach. The FDA in the business of preventing outbreaks, rather than trying to deal with them after people get sick.
My opinion is that in this decade nothing is safe to eat because in many food they found salmonella so, I think that we need to have more hygiene in everything and be careful in everything we eat.

Californians will decide Nov. 2 wether legalize recreational use of the drug. Proposition 19 would allow those 21 or older to possess as much as an ounce of marijuana and to grow it in spaces of 25 square feet or less. Although marijuana has been in use for years, voters will head to the polls with only a hazy understanding of its health effects.
In my opinion, marijuana should remain being illegal. Even though some say it's has many benefits I disagree. Marijuana is bas because it's addictive. If you use it once you will have to use it for the second and third time and so on, maybe even for the rest of your life.

President Obama made a surprise stop sunday about 10 a.m at the Valois cafeteria.
The president who was joined by gov. Quinn and democratic senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias shook hands and ordered pancakes, eggs and turkey sausage. Giannoulis ordered French toast and Quinn asked for some scrambled eggs and sausage, all to go. When the president Obama ordered he tried to paid with a $20 bill. when he left the restaurant about 22 min later the president called out "Everybody, remember to vote"

In my opinion is good the president Obama visited people in a cafeterias, but in this time he visited just because he want the vote for his candidates.

Stewart and Colbert clearly have tapped into a frustration that is pretty much the antithesis of the Tea Party rally that everyone assumes is this event's inspiration. As Comedy Central promoters phrase it so eloquently on the event's Facebook page, this is a gathering for those "who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler."

Everybody knows that in the gym can be germs-fest. It's full of people some cleaner than others swearing all over thing,
touching their hands to their faces, wiping their foreheads, showering and walking around in various states of undress.
In fact, the National Athletic Trainers Association released a report last month detailing the dangers that gym setting pose to
athletes, particularly from skin infections. The same report noted that studies have shown the percentage of healthy adults who
are carriers for nasty bacterium called MRSA shot up to 0.8 percent in 2001 to 7.3 percent in 2004.
Illinois Department of Public Health statistics show that about 30 percent of Chicago's residents report exercising at least three
times a week. Gym germ hot spot include machine handles,swimming pools, showers, saunas and anything wet or moist and locker rooms.
I think that it's true that theirs a lot of germs that's why a lot of people got sick in the sauna or hot spot etc and sometimes it's more danger because some people had been died. We need more hygiene in all the gyms and clean better too to disinfect all the areas.

WILMINGTON, Del. BP said Monday it was committed to waiving the legal cap on its liability from the Gulf oil spill, which could have limited the cost to the oil giant to $75 million, plus cleanup costs. Under pressure from the Obama administration, the company also has established a $20 billion compensation fund, but a slew of lawsuits also have been brought against the company and its business partners. BP also said it reserved the right to seek reimbursement from the other defendants and denied engaging in grossly negligent conduct, which would open the door to potentially huge punitive damages.
In my opinion, the BP has to take responsibility for its action. To clean up sea is very difficult. It takes a lot of time and it costs a lot of money. This big company has to financially support the families of all those fishermen affected by the sea pollution.

Marijuana had too many bad health effects one is in 2008 federal survey found that 15.2 million people had used marijuana and the same year California hospitals had 181 admisions in which marijuana abuse or dependence was listed as the primary cause.

" Our response system worked, but obviously this is a very worrying development, " she said.
Meanwhile, officials are stepping up sanitation efforts and setting up quarantine areas bracing themselves for a possible larger outbreak nationwide.
"I think the only responsible thing we can do at the moment is prepare and plan for the worst case scenario," Wall said.

1 Word for Facebook: Overrated

Facebook was once a smaller website where only students could join and meet each other. Now everyone is expected to have a Facebook account, and even companies and products have accounts. The article is saying that Facebook is not cool anymore because it is trying to sell things to people. The author says, "Now it's another job-hunting/networking tool that one must maintain like an e-mail account." He also shows that Facebook uses the things we say we like to sell products to us.

Facebook has been very useful to me. I have used it to find so many friends that I thought were lost forever, in Senegal and all over the world. For someone like me who uses Facebook in this way, I think there is no problem. I do not even look to the advertisements on the website because I do not care. Maybe Facebook was always going to become more commercial, but that does not mean that it is not a good thing.

Why Chicagoans Go Out Of Their Way To Play The Waiting Game

People in Chicago wait in many lines for many reasons. They wait for food, alcohol, and new electronics. The article quotes some professors who have some ideas about why we wait. We are likely to wait for new products if we don't know about their quality, but not for food in restaurants that we know well.

I think that some things are worth waiting in lines for, but not for new expensive products that we do not know. The iPhone is a good example. Many thousands of people waited very long for the first products, even though there were too many problems with them. I would rather wait in line to buy tickets for a good show.

That's where you go in to see every single product Apple sells. The south entrance is the Clybourn entrance, and it's there you go to learn via One To One or a workshop. And then there's the center entrance facing the CTA station and new public space which features a courtyard with tables, benches, a fountain and Wi-Fi.

In my opinion, I think that place is very old, especially the old color that area! you know? The Apple store to give people the feeling is very modern! So, I think  Steve Jobs have to change everything here!

Wait for it, Chicago(Reading blog the 8th )

Title: Wait for it, Chicago
By Tracy Swartz on 10.22.10
I read an artical which is talking about waiting in Chicago.At the beginning,the author give us a question " Is the City that Works also the City that Waits? ".The beer lines at fests or the brunch lines on Sundays give us the answer.

A lot of people consider that certain goodies are worth the wait. Some of them said that they didn't mind waiting about 10 minutes with friends for lunch.But any longer would have tested their patience.Also,some people like to go somewhere quick and straightforward when their children are hungry.

I think that people don't like lines but they will stand in them if they're curious about a new product or service and they don't know about the product's quality.However,people hate to wait in line for groceries and gasoline, because they know what they're getting, but they'll stand to wait for something they're interested in.

In my opinion,restaurants shouldn't let their lines get too long.Although the lines may attract tourists unfamiliar with the food, a long wait may frustrate longtime customers. If the weather is not good,they will feel even bad.

Usher don`t deny that last year`s messy divorce from Tameka Foster helped raise his profile. "people love a train wreck," he told play boy in the November issue. And the R&B has no plans to tie the knot again soon. Instead, he has another idea:" may be I can find a couple of women who are open-minded, "Usher said. " Look at how Hugh Hefner does it, with a harem of women." I would like to say there is no love between two famous people because as Usher said he may find a couple of open mind women it`s show to me he still want more than one open mind women for love. I don`t think he will be faithful even if he find one open mind woman and who care about him.

Michelle Obama says her grandfather loved jazz so much, he had speakers installed in every room of his house. even the bathroom. She said, " We accessed culture in Chicago, which is one of the premier cities in the country for the art." I would like to say Michelle Obama is a strong woman because she is in the white house and doing what she want in her life and for her family. I think she is so excited to listening jazz song because she loves her father and likes his interest. She said after listening the jazz song " I am done, I can go home now." It`s show to me how she was happy listening jazz song that her father like.

CTA investigating cause of bus crash

MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010
Chicago Tribune

CTA official said sunday they were continuing to investigate a bus crash Saturday evening that sent 37 people to area hospitals. The accident happened about 6 p.m. when the bus ran off Lake Shore Drive just south of Interstate 55 and struck a tree, official said. The CTA has placed fourth, fifth or sixth in federal collision-rate rankings since 2002 compared with other large bus transit agencies. Last year, there were 271 "reportable collision" involving CTA buses, according to records. But those are only the accidents resulting in $25,000 or more in property damage or at least on individual taken to a hospital, which is the criteria set by the Federal Transit Administration.
In my opinion, the bus driver has to be careful when she/he is driving. He/She is responsible for the passengers' lives. Since I can't trust bus drivers I prefer to ride a train.

Cohabitation With out Marriage

Cohabitation With out Marriage

The estimated number of unmarried couples living together jumped 12 percent from 2009 to 2010, according to the population survey. Demographers belive the increase is couples delaying marriage because of the cost, avoiding marriage altogether or moving in without a long-terme plan because of short-terme financial pressures.

I believe beyond economics, a major reason for more cohabitation is couples who have children but don't get married for others, moving in is a natural extension of dating.

Landlord Parents

Getting a degree used to be a stepping stone to limitless career opportunities. Now it's more of a hiatus from living under your parents' roof. Stubbornly high unemployment-nearly 15 percent for those ages 20-24-has made finding a job nearly impossible. And whithouta job, there's nowhere for 20-somethings to go but back to their old bedrooms. It's the boomerang effect on steroids.

Even though living whit parents comes with rules and restrictions, it's a small price to pay for the comfort and covenience of home.

You're probably paying too much
    In Illinois, mobile phone users are paying hundreds of extra dollars every year for unused minutes and unnecessary services. The CUB studied 4,400 cell bills entered into its online Cellphone Saver between AUgust 2009 and july 2010 and determined that those consumers are overpaying. In last year, the CUB conducted analyzing 6,985 bills. The lost savings added up to an average of $331 a year.Those probelm is paying for extra services that may not be a good value, such as insurance, directory assistance and roadside assistance. The CUB said consumers unwittingly opt into programs that tack monthly recurring charges onto their bills, often for downloads such as ringtones and wallpapers.

   In my opinion, having a cell phones is not a bad idea but every month pays too much because sent over limits texting downloading ringtones etc. Each year, every member family have to pay more than they thought.
  

Newsroom hot topic: New Starbucks rules and longer lines

Title:New Starbucks rules and longer lines.
OCT 13,2010.
BY Scott Kleinberg.


Here's the gist: The Journal reports that customers have complained that Starbucks has turned into more of an assembly line than a coffeehouse and therefore baristas are being told to focus on no more than two drinks at a time.

So in the story, baristas are worried about longer lines because of the change. And apparently rightfully so, since tests have been confirmed the increased wait time. That's in Minnesota.

Back here in Chicago, in our newsroom, some of us point out that we're fine with spending less time being oooohed and ahhhhed while the drink is being made if we're in and out quickly with a delicious experience.
 
 
 
In my opinion : I like Starbucks coffee, but If I wait a long time to got this cuo of coffee, I feel very bad!you know, I would spent money and more times to enjoy this coffe, that's very worthwhile!

Title: Confessions of a Facebook hater

This week I read an article which is talking about Facebook. Facebook is to use broadly today, a portion of Facebook users thought that they were grew weary of their family "spying" on them through their profile, and the Facebook's intrusive advertising was caused complications. And they thought that Facebook leaked their information.

I do not have Facebook up now, but I have a Chinese blog which named Renren just like Facebook in US. A lot of Chinese have Renren, and they like to share some interests here. Sometimes, a portion of Renren users have the same situations like the Facebook users`.

I my opinion, using Facebook is an interest thing. Although it has some bad influences, it makes our lives colorful too.

Capsule travels at about 3 feet per second, or a casual walking pace, and can speed to 10 feet per second if the miner being carried gets into trouble.The miners were being given dark glasses to avoid damaging their eyesight after spending so long in lit tunnel. They will be under observation at the hospital for two days. Everybody celebrates the rescued of the miners.

CTA investigating cause of bus crash

CTA officials said Sunday they were continuing to investigate a bus crash Saturday evening that sent 37 people to area hospitals. Officials were in the process of investigating the cause of the accident, CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said Sunday. More than 20 ambulances were sent to the scene of the accident. The No. 6 Jackson Park Express articulated bus was described as being full at the time of the crash. The CTA has placed fourth, fifth or sixth in federal collision-rate rankings since 2002 compared with other large bus transit agencies.

In my opinion maybe the accident happened because the driver runs faster.

That was more than most of her colleagues and far more that Thomas. Kagan didn't crack any jokes Monday, she sounded relaxed and threw out a combination of hypothetical questions and fact-based queries. Kagan hasn't yet written any opinions, though she has annouced that she will recuse herself from a number of cases beacause of her prior work as the Obama administration's solocitor general.

European Terror Plot Disrupted

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
Reuters
BERLIN/LONDAN Security sources said Wednesday, a militant polt to stage coordinated attacks in Europe has been disrupted in its early stages by drone strikes in Pakistan, but it is not clear if the threat has been completely eliminated. It knew of information attacks pointing to possible al-Qaida in Europe and the U.S.A., and intelligence sources said security agencies had disrupted plans by Pakistan-based militants for simultaneous strikes in London, as well as in major cities in France and Germany, German said. The sources said, the conspiracy involving al-Qaida and allied militants was in the early stages and would have involved groups of assailants taking and killing hostage, possibly along the lines of the 2008 raid in Mumbai in which 166 people died. Word of the plot had probably originated from the interrogation of a German-Afhgan terror suspect in afghanistan, Ahmed Sidiqi, is a German of afghan descent, one security official in German said.
In my opinion, Ahmed Sidiqi was born in Pakistan he is most likely a German citizen. He is a member of al-Qaida group.

Extreme indoors--tackling Chicago's winter sports (The 6th Reading Blog)

Title: Extreme indoors--tackling Chicago's winter sportsBy Geoff George on 10.08.10

I read this article today. The Chicago Marathon is today, and it's the last large-scale outdoor event before most people retreat inside for another bitter winter.

For those who can't dribble a basketball to save their lives, local indoor athletics offers sports for all skill levels, from soccer to Frisbee. Indoor sports often can be a lot safer for beginners. At Chicago Indoor Sports, there's a strict rule against slide tackling during soccer games.

In my mind, Winter sports are very important for us. If the weather is not fit us for doing physical training outside. Indoor sports will do good to our health.Just like Indoor soccer, Tennis, Rock climbing, Ultimate Frisbee, Volleyball, and Pingpong. If you wants more, there are so many new games and coming-soon indoor sports for your choice.

By Alysse Dalessandro
Media attention recently has been focused on the matter of LGBT suicide following the high-profile death of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, one of at least five deaths related to anti-gay bulling in a three week span. "Bullying is a real program in our school, and it starts early as kids go to school," she said, nothing reports of children using slurs against gays as early as kindergarten. Last month sex columnist Dan Savage, who is gay, started the "It Gets better" YouTube campaign (youtube.com/user/itgetsbetter project) in which celebrities and others record videos to send a massage to LGBT youths that life will improve.
In my opinion, it is the way that feel and as human begin all of us have right to choose our partner. I truly respect the way gay people love each other and want to be together. However, personally I don't like to be a gay.

You didn't have any idea until you saw the script?
Well yeah, I was actually contacted by the producers and they were very good about letting me know. We had a nice talk and they wanted to make sure that I wasn't taking it personally or anything like that. I think there is a tendency sometimes with some actors to feel like they did something wrong or they pissed somebody off or something like that and so that's why they're dying, but I assured them that all of their reassurances were unnecessary. I understand how it works. It basically comes down to story and drama.


In my opinion: Great interview! It was so sad o see him go, I don't think anyone who watch the show didn't like Riley. When he saw saw the script, I think his very sad ! Because he stay in this movie have a long time !

Rigth Degree, Wrong Job


Whitehead is just one of the number of Chicagoans who believe college degrees have been rendered almost useless in the current economy. Several locals said they have completely changed, or at least significanlty altered, their career directions due to the grim realities of the tight job market. Chicagoans in their early t mid-20s expressed even less optimism about the return-on-investment rate of their degrees. Job statistics seem to support that readjustment in expectations. Approximately 50 percent of college educated workers 25 and younger who began working this year took jobs that didn't require a bachelor's degree, including waiting tables and selling retail, according to the director of the Center or Labor Market Studies at Northwestern University in Boston, the L.A. Times reported.

In my opinion, college education is not a waiste even if you don't get a job in your field of studies.

Before he walks out of his South Shore home, John Whitehead said he often glances at his framed bachelor's degree setting on the mantle. "It was a big thing in my family to graduate from college," Whitehouse, 34, said of the speech and communications degree he earned from Chicago State nine years ago." It gives me a lift every time I look at it."
His goal was to become a journalist. He then turned his search to customer service-related positions and most recently, worked as a dispatcher for Niles-based company.But Whitehead was laid off in December.He was replaced by computers.There are people with grad degrees working at McDonald's.


In my opinion before going to take a degree. We need explore others fields and get some information how is the job.

Emanuel is expected to leave the White Houseb immediately and open his campaign to succeed Mayor Daley's six terms. Robert Gibbs would not comment on whether Emanuel is leaving, but the president would make personnel announcements. Gibbs added that Obama's relationship with Rouse is one of "complete loyalty and trust". Emanuel long had voiced interest in the mayor's job, but vowed that he wouldn't challenge Daley. When Daley announced that he would not run for re-election, speculation swirled that Emanuel would leave the White House, where he plays a large role in domestic policy, politics, war strategy and communications.

For instance, it once was hipster cool and blisteringly ironic to wear trucker hats. Now, not so much. And someone who has hipster music tastes and loves LCD Soundsystem could dress like a total square. Or maybe hipster music isn't actually even cool, depending on whom you ask.

Ken Bob Saxton started the running barefoot in 1997. People might think that they are crazy, but barefoot runners
even those who pursue punishing marathons sans shoes, say that freeing your feet from the confines of sneaker is
just as God and natural intended. Elizabeth McCullough of Lexington who started running barefoot earlier this year,
Went to Saxton's website for direction and soon embraced the idea. Just running up the street without any shoes on felt
wrong and exciting, McCullough said that. Barefoot running has been around a long time. An Olympic marathoner,
Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia, won the gold without shoes in 1960. Barefoot South Africa runner Zola Budd famously knocked
American Mary Decker out of medal contention in 1984.Dr. W Ben Kibler, said that less material you put between the sole of the ground, the more rapid the activation of the muscles. For many reasons, barefoot running is a pretty good idea because
a lot of people won. Saxton said that people have been lulled into thinking that their feet won't work correctly. Most people
have feet that don't work,and 90 percent of people need some sort of correction in the foot, where it is probably the opposite of that.

The failure to pass a drug test for one of the mandatory requisites for lindsay lohan probation period brought her back to jail for thirty days. Lindsay Lohan admitted to have done cocaine during her probation and violating rules of her ¨freedom.¨ Her scheduled date to be out of jail is on october, 22, 2010.

In my opinion i believe that her actions of taking in drugs during her probation was a ridiculos idea. Knowing the kind of situation she was in she should have thought twice before drugging herself. I agree for her to go to jail in order for her to pay for the consequences of her actions.

Red Line stretch, Residents still hopeful CTA will extend service to far South Side


Even in time of belt-tightening and dreams deferred, a long-sought CTA project is in the works, offering the promise of improved transportation and economic rebirth for poorly served Chicago communities. In the late 1960s, when the Red Line was extended south along the middle of the Dan Ryan Express way to 95th Street, the plan never was to stop there. Just as the north branch of the Red Line touches Evanston at Howard Street, the goal was to build out the CTA's longest route to Chicago's southern border. But for more than four decades, 95th Street has been as far as this train goes, leaving the Far South Side with no rail connections to the rest of the city and adding to the hardships of already disadvantaged neighbourhoods. It has been a constant frustration for South Seders, especially irritating when talk bubbles up at City Hall, as it did again recently, about introducing premium express-train service to O'Hare, which already is served by the Blue Line. "Transit has always been denied to our community." said John Paul Jones of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago ."But a new process is beginning that will make it much easier and safer for people to get to work, school and hospitals, and for businesspeople to develop commercial plans for housing and retail around new stations on the Red Line extension."Under the CTA's plans, four new stations would be built-at 103rd,111th,116th and 130th streets-mostly along the Union Pacific Rail-road right of way. Two options are under review for the location of the 130th Street terminus. Using federal seed money, the transit agency is starting work on a draft environmental impact study, which the Federal Transit Administration requires as part of the CTA ultimately receiving a federal full- funding grant agreement. If the project is fast-tracked, as supporters hope, construction on the estimated $1.4 billion extension could begin within the next several years and be completed as quickly as 2016, depending on the availability of money, CTA officials said. The projected cost, in inflation-adjusted dollars, includes relocating the existing CTA rail yard that is beyond 95th Street to vacant land in the area of 120th Street and Cottage Grove.


In my opinion that project is very good for many people who take the train.







American hiker calls for friends' release

nation/world from news services

NEW YORK The American hiker Sarah Shourd release from an Iranian prison, told reporters Sunday that doctor in Oman have assured her that she is "physically well." Reading from a prepared statement Shourd expressed thanks to Iranian government and religious leaders, including Ayatollah Ali khamenei and President Mahmuod Ahmadinejad, for release after 410 days. "It is my deepest hope that the world will not let this humanitarian gesture go unrecognized," Sarah said. "I believe this decision is a step in the right direction for all of us." However, she and the mothers of the other two detained Americans, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, called for their release. The two men remain in Tehran's Evin Prison. The three Americans were arrested in 2009 after they allegedly strayed across an unmarked border into Iran while hiking in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
The government said they broke the law but they were only hiking. I hope the Iranian's government release them from jail as soon as possible.

The Axe effect

pg9
Sept-24-10
by:tribune file
Summary of the article:
 David Axelrod, will leave the White House next year and return to Chicago to work on the president's re-election campaign. He is a top adviser to the President Obama and the main architect of his election vitory in 2008. He is one of  President's trusted aides. A longtime campaign strategist, he is aware of his limitation when it comes to comples policy matters.
 In my opinion, David Axelrod leaves the White House for a reason not just because he wants to work on the president's re-election campaign maybe he wants to learn more about the election campaign. Later on the future maybe he does not have the opportunity to do this.

Pippen: Keep Noah


Newly minted Hall of farmer Scottie Pippen says the Bulls would be taking a huge gamble if they traded joaking Noah for Denver's Carmelo Anthony, as they reportedly are considering, and he doesn't think the Bulls general manager would approve the deal. Multiple reports say anthony is determined to leave Denver as a free agent after next season rather than sign an extension and would like to be traded , preferably to the Bulls or N.Y. Knicks . However, the Bulls are said to be unwilling to trade Noah, and the New Jersey Nets have emerged as the front-runner to land Anthony in a trade.

I think you have to say that Joaking Noah is one of the two top players in the Bulls teams that have great values and they bring a lot to the table.

Dieting? Try 3 square meals/Abinet

It`s already been established, Leidy said, that high-protein diets are better for appetite control. The diet men followed in her study "is not Atkins by any means," she added. " you`re still getting an adequate amount of fiber and fruits and vegetables with these diets". I think this is true because high-protein diets are open people appetites and make them eat to much. When you eat to much protein you should know u get a lot of weight. If people eat always some protein, fruit and vegetables good because they can control their weight and they can be healthy. I Don`t think this research concerning only men because women`s are in this situation.

Pops for champagne uncorks a cocktail lounge worth trying

Red eye

Page: 21

By: Lisa Arnett



Basement cocktail lounges have been catching everybody attention this year. Pops for Champagne recently
followed suit by changing downstairs jazz lounge into a" drinking parlor" named for the Great Lakes Watershed
and dedicated to drinks from region. Sometimes they go in groups stopping for after-work drinks, the people can watch
the cocktail-shaking action or retreat to one of three High-backed wooden booths in the corner. A carved wooden display
of the Great Lakes region that's lit up behind glass looks straight out of a museum,and bistro chairs feel un-parlor-like
Compared with the tufted leather benches and stately chairs lining the tables-height bar. The people who like serious places
and incredible drinks this is the place they can go.

Katy Perry's recent musical number on Sesame Street was pulled after parents complained they could see a bit too much of the singer.

In my opinion: I think this a very interesting report!   We can see Katy Perry talk with Elmo( a cartoon character ) . Katy Perry could have worn anything, but she have worn sexy cloth(I don't know how to describe it). She just wanted the attention of young boys. Well, attention she has certainly gotten from this little ordeal.

Title: At Home in Two Worlds(The 4th Reading Blog)

Title: At Home in Two Worlds
By Dirk Johnson and Adam Piore

This week I read an article name is At Home in Two Worlds. It was talking about children live with their gay or lesbian parents, mostly.

One of the character`s name is Kyle Michaels. She is 14 year old beautiful girl who live with her lesbian parents. At the beginning, when the other kids talked about their families, Kyle used to keep quiet because children talk about that they hang out with their Moms at the mall, or their fathers buy any presents for them. But, Kyle's family is different. Now, Kyle doesn't hide anything because she finds a lot of children just like her. According to the article," Same-sex marriage and gay parents` topics once verboten in mainstream America."

To conclusion, their parents love each other and love their children most. Their families just look like every other family, and they do the same thing. People agree the number of kids raised by same-sex parents will continue to climb. Also, these children aren't wish for sit quietly. Actually, they need more care and understand from the other family and society.

Wheel O Fortune: After 25 years, Oprah's still got game

By Scott Kleinberg on 09.14.10

This week I read an article from REDEYE called Wheel O Fortune: After 25 years, Oprah's still got game.It is talking about for 25years "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is popular all the time. Oprah Winfrey the Chicago media queen dazzled the audience with an all-expenses-paid, eight-day trip to Australia.

As of Jan. 1, she will move on to her new own net work. So this year will be about creating moments for her. Her loyal audience has a lot of choice including Oprah, as she will be on cable. Oprah stations will be challenged to try and hold those audiences, and competitors will see it as an opportunity to grow audience share.

In concluding, Oprah is famous all over the world for a long time .Most people like her style no matter different country or different culture. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will do everything bigger and better and even more delightfully.
