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.

Title: Haig Sutherland and the life of Riley
By Curt Wagner



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 !

Chicago Tribune, page 7

Following a national trend, Africa American in Chicago are affected in greater numbers that other racial groups by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, according to represent the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. I believe there is a lot of different races has HIV/AIDS but according to the AIDS Foundation report just African American has greater numbers in Chicago. It is so sad to me because we know how we can get AIDS easily and how we can protect are self from this kind of disease but It is hard to find people who protect them selves from AIDS because when I see people in Chicago just like how she looks or he looks not is he/she is HIV negative or positive.

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.

Right Degree, Wrong Job


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.

Title of the Article : Woman who shot boy receives praise

A thin woman name is Margaret Matthews, 68 year old. She got open fire with a gun face of the target was 2 boy. A bullet hit into 12-year-old boy's shoulder, he has treated at a hopsital and good condition. The 2 boy had beed bother her more than 1 year. The worse thing to get a fire is use a brick and bump her chest. Man ! Finally, Matthews wasn't a murder and not guilty during that action. In my opinion, you breed a baby without watching and educating after school, it will be just like a wild animal that do something bad to hurt people.

  Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is resigning to run for mayor of Chicago. 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.
