College Debt 101
Students have borrowed more money for loans in 2008 then 1996. 2008 bachelor’s degree receiver took an average of $23,000, comparing with $17,000 in 1996. Associates degrees receiver took an amount of $12,600 comparing with $7,600. 2008 study shows that 54% bachelor degree graduates who are in debt more then $30,000 attend private, for profit schools. In which 25% attend non-profit schools.
In my opinion it is excellent decision they have better knowledge, skills, and they have a Title to look for a good position with high salary.

- On last Thursday, authorities found twice homemade explosives in
Jakubec's house. Authorities described his house as a bomb-making
factory. He was on probation for 2009 robbery and arrested last
week. Jakubec paid 5 million dollars for bail now. - It's disquieting to hear this news. We don't know how many dangerous
persons in around us just like Jakubec. I hope the police take all
the dangerous person into jail as soon as possible.

This coyote was the second seen this year on the same area, but this one wasn't captured.

A recent study says CTA train riders are very satisfied, because they can talk on cell phones, tap out e-mails or listen to music while they are using the service.
Many of CTA train riders said they enjoy their trip as well as driving their own personal vehicles. For many reasons people like to get to their destination as quickly as possible. Using communication and information technology makes the travel very comfortable.
Actually, people prefer to use electronic devices while ride, and less people read books or newspaper. I think spend time reading a book o newspaper is a good way to learn English for me. I read daily and pick up new vocabulary while I am riding.

Daley takes former aide Chico to task
The article said that on Thursday Daley took a shot about Gery Chico. Under Daley, Chico served as a president of board of Education, an observation was made while uncovering his education policies, Tuesday. As Chico aid the hired government officials at the Chicago public schools had been bloated under his successors, and promised cuts to save money. Chico never expressed opinions while serving Daley in two high profile education posts.
In my opinion it is difficult to give my opinion because I don’t know how they do their agenda and take their decisions on education.

"Sears Tower Was A Target," Bush Says
Former President George W.Bush, was in town to promote his memoir, said he worries that the 9/11 attacks will become a "distant memory". The New York Times reported in 2003 that a senior leader of al-Qaida told U.S. interrogators the Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, was on at least one list of possible targets for the 9/11 hijackers. Chicago Police at the time downplayed the report.
I am glad that the terrorist did not pick the Sears Tower as one of their targets, I believe that the Chicago Police should have taken the threat move seriously. I believe that the Willis Tower will remain to be on their list. We should take all the necessary steps to keep the city and the United States safe from terrorist.

Britain's Prince William will marry his long-term girlfriend, Kate Middleton. William proposed to Middleton with the large blue oval sapphire and diamond engagement ring his mother once wore as a 19-year-old fiancee of a future king. They will take place in the spring or summer of 2011, 39 years after Charles' spectacular but ultimately ill-fated wedding to Diana.
That's a exciting news, William will be the future of Britain. I wish he will have happiness on his marriage, not like his parents!

Pay to stay?
The article say that they need to pay to stay also it say that the Cubs owner is seeking for state aid to keep historic Wrigley Field running. The Wrigley Field needs more than $200 million in renovation to ensure the team stays for the next 35 years. Last year the team was bought by the Ricketts family. The family paid for the team $845 million. The Cubs paid $16.1 million in amusement taxes and 12% levy of each ticket. The Illinois General Assembly needs to approval the financing plan. In the other hand on Thursday Gov. Quinn said that he didn’t know about this plan but he doesn’t want to say anything about that. He said, I want to know what they talking about. He said, we like the Cubs, we like the Sox and other sports but I needs more details. In the end of the article Tom Ricketts said “The plan is fair, simple and solve the problem”.
In mi opinion there is a controversy. A team is a team but the city has to approval the financing plan. The city has the majority of benefits from the teams of the Wrigley Field.

Cabbies Push For Fare Hike
Chicago cabdrivers again pitched to aldermen the need for a 22 percent fare hike to offset rising costs and city fees. They say are squeeezing them to the point of destition.The last fare increase for Chicago cabs was in 2005. That would increase the cost to start a ride from $2.25 to $2.75.
Norma Reyes, Commissioner of the city Dept. of Business Afffairs and Consumer Protection opposes any rate increase. The city enacted a taxi fuel surcharge of up to $1.00 in 2008, tied to the cost of gas.
Reyes said her department would work with cab companies to introduce more fuel efficent vehicles rather than passing more costs on to consumers.
Most cab drivers don't deserve a fare hike. There are drivers that will take out of your way, so that they can make more money on the fare box. For the average consumer, that can be an extra $3 to $5 dollars. Most drivers speed, don't use turn signals, make illegal turns and don't obey the traffic lights. They are terrible drivers, maybe if they would drive better and a safer manner, they may get better tips. Then there be no need for a fare hike.

DANGER DRINKS?
Chicago has entered a fray because caffeinated and alcoholic drinks were debate. Four Loko is a 23.5 ounce beverage in a can that contains the equal amount of four or more beers. Alderman has made a proposal to ban the caffeinated alcoholic drinks. The beverages are dangerous for young adults. The drink would be banned everywhere in the city. Colleges and Universities across the nation report health problems caused by the drink. Four Loko made by phusion projects a company in Chicago that started five years ago. Ohio State University graduates got the idea from watching people at bars mixing liquor with energy drinks.
In my opinion about Four Loko should be removed from the liquor store and other stores. Four Loko was dangerous for young people. It is also toxic for anybody. However, caffeine and alcohol don’t mix together.

Nifty: Kennedy turns 50
The Northwest Expressway was by William Stratton, Major Richard J Daley, and country Board President Dan Ryan. Three years later the expressway was renamed under President Kennedy’s name, a week after he was killed in November 22, 1963. He took $232.3 million to construct the Kennedy express. Daley transformed a small suburban orchard field to one of the bus lest airports O’Hare. Joseph Schieterman added two reversible lanes to Kennedy express.
In my opinion this is the best construction that Daley made years ago. Kennedy express was made 50 years ago. The Kennedy express was building and opened in Nov 5, 1960. The 50th anniversary was celebrated this Friday, November 7, 2010

Halloween Tragedy
Megan Duskey was a Chicago school teacher, and a group of girlfriends had scored tickets to a sold-out Haunted Hotel Ball at the Palmer House Hilton. Duskey,23,and her friends were there half an hour when she playfully attempted to slide down a banister rail and fell four stories to her death. Duskey and her group, which included a cousin, a college roommate and other close friends. Duskey taught special education classes at Bright Elementary School, 10740 S. Calhoun Ave.
I think people can't always control, some ones actions. I don't know if alcohol had anything to do with it or she was just playing when she fell. the hotel should have a safe guard like a safety net for the stairs, so that people won't try to slide down the handrails.

Danger Drinks ?
Page:6
From news services
The article writes about caffeinated alcoholic drink Four Loco. Loco is made by Phusion Projects, a Chicago company. Founders got the idea from watching people mix liquor with energy drinks at bars.The beverage contains equivalent of four or more beers and a strong cup of coffee for $3. It can be dangerous for young adults who might not realize how drunk they have become when they drink them. Four loko is popular and everyone buys it; middle class , high class, low class.
The beverage sounds like cheap and heavy alcohol. It can be dangerous first try but people will learn how heavy it is. I dont think when it has more or less alcohol it will change result for yaung people who wants to be drunk. If someone wants to be drunk or someone who doesnt know his/her limit it will be same result. Drinking alcohol is might be dengerous for yaung adults. I dont belive alcoholic beverage brend will make it more dengerous. In my opinion alchohol is fun if you know where to stop, it is dengerous if you dont know where to stop. It is not just for yaung adults for everyage like that.

Vincent a Lakeview Bistro, located at the 1475 w. Balmoral Ave. is a Dutch inspired restaurant. It's like a little restaurant you could walk into in Amsterdam. In the kitchen chef Joncarl Lachman is always cooking dishes from his Dutch heritage. Servers there would suggest to try the Ultsmijter-egg topped brioche and bacon and the matzo brei eggs scrambled with matzo cracker and salmon for just $12.00 or a traditional Dutch dish is a delicious melt mess of brioches slices topped with melted gouda brown sugar -cured bacon and a sunny side up egg. The chief has chosen to cook buttermilk pancakes with brown sugar syrup rather than the Netherlands super thin pancakes. For lunch time they suggest the lone sandwich is a fontina -topped lamb burger $12.00 with fries. Their famous drink is called the Vincent's Bloody Ear-garnished with a fried pigs ear. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family.

Brooks pleaded guilty today before Lake County,Ind, Judge Clarence Murray, authorities said.
I think their parents weren't strict enought on them , they should respect the older. They didn't need to kill anyone, they took what they wanted already, I think they did that should be given the death penalty.

Hey cold, this cough’s for you
A sarcastically man, and his cold. All the symptoms are on point, morning sore throat, and right along with the runny nose. When you start to get it, you have to reschedule your week’s plans. Then when you show up at work, it gets even better your co-workers keep their distance. When you have four or more type of germs you should awful. Being ill is the legitimate reason to stay at home from going to work. Co-workers seem to have fun with the fact that you are sick.
In my opinion when your sick with the cold just drink a lot of medicine, get lots of rest. Make sure to stay warm, you don’t want to make the cold worst. When you’re at work tend to have a box of tissue, and wash your hands often.

Prime-Time Unemployed
Young workers between the ages of 20-24 are struggling to keep a permanent job. It’s hard for them to live independently with this economy going low. Young Americans that start moving out and starting a life, end up moving back in with their parents. Census Bureau figures that coupes are postponing marriage and becoming parents. Young families fall into poverty. With unemployed or underemployed Americans have little hope for paying their mortgages, or buying a house. Most workers see the incomes increase slowly.
In my opinion it’s great to know that young Americans are trying to live independently. But they need a plan first; these young Americans need to learn how to save their money. They need to stop spending money on unnecessary things. When they decide to move out their house, they should consider having a large amount of money in their bank account. That way they wouldn’t worry about not paying so many bills.

Montreal nouveau cirque toupe 7 Fingers started performance at Brodway Play house. Borcherts interviewed with members of 7 Finger about circus life. They described the show pretty action packed. In this show, the seven artists are on stage the entire time and they have to be good at all the disciplines. It makes the show unique. They have life music onstage and they also have cool way of playing with basketball and skateboards.
When i read this article I realized I have never seen any circus. When I was kid i guess my family didnt have time and when i became adult i never think about it. I started to be curious about it. When i read article it looks like fun. When i have time, I hope they will have still show. I' planing to go and see the show. If i miss them I will try to find another circus.
