Is housing affordable in Chicago? UN representative to find out
2009-10-27 15:00:00 We all know it isn't easy to find an affordable place to live in Chicago. The Chicago Rehab Network says that to afford a modest one-bedroom apartment at $711 a month, a person would either have to earn at least $13.67 an hour or work 106 hours a week at the minimum wage. But is housing so unaffordable that it violates human rights? The United Nations is here in Chicago to find out. For the first time ever, the UN Special Rapporteur on housing will visit the United States with six stops in major cities, including Chicago. Raquel Rolnik will start her visit by meeting with regular Chicago citizens at a town hall meeting at Fernwood United Methodist Church at...
Toolbars Help You Find the Best Price, and Buying Green Doesn't Always
2009-10-26 05:22:00 Gregory Karp's column about browser add-ons that will help you find the lowest price online for any given item. "Will buying green put you in the red?" questions whether certain environmentally friendly investments will really pay for themselves. A good read if you are considering buying new windows or a hybrid car for purely financial reasons. Best tidbit: Turning off the lights when you leave a room really does save money -- but ONLY if you're still using incandescents. For CFLs (compact flourescent lights), the cheapest thing to do is leave it on if you'll be gone for 15 minutes or less. That's turning the bulbs on and off detracts from their lifespan.
Does 30 rock? I'm about to find out
2009-10-07 05:59:00 I've never been one to care much about my birthday. But here I am, about to turn 30, in the grips of a minor panic.Every Facebook status update alerting me to a high school classmate getting engaged/married/pregnant--and what a big year it's been for all that!--makes me a bit queasy. When someone asks me about my "next step" in life, I mumble vague notions about travel before grabbing a paper bag in which to hyperventilate....
The Frugal Landlord - 3 Ways to find tenants cheaply.
2009-10-06 07:33:00 I went to my local book exchange library today. After living in Japan for 10 years I've pretty much read all the English books at all three of my city's libraries.The book exchange often has some reading gold that you can borrow and keep for free. I've gotten tons of business books, travel books, biographies and novels there.Today I was pleased to find The Frugal Gourmet cook book. When I was a kid I remember watching the show and him always taking a sip of wine and well that's about all I remember. I guess it didn't make THAT much of an impression on me but I thought the book might help me overcome my sometimes unambitious cooking.Then I got to thinking about land-lording and how you could use the Frugal Gourmet premise when finding tenants. So here it is 3 ways to get champagne tenants on beer advertising budget.1. Place your ads wisely - Newspaper and online advertising have become cheaper over the past few years but how about spending no money at all? It's old school bu...

Find Out What are the Natural Cures for Acne
2009-09-20 05:52:00 For years I was suffering from acne and was feeling bad about myself. I wanted to get rid completely of my acne problems. I have tried X, Y, Z products and finally decided to use natural remedies which I was myself very surprised with the rapid amelioration it has brought to my skin condition. There is nothing more immoral than some people believe a person with acne is somehow dirty! Or others assume that just because someone has acne means he do not take care of his skin. This will make the affected person feel lower self esteem and should not be treated this way. In fact dirty skin is the biggest acne myth ever. A person can wash his skin twenty times a day, and you know what it’s going to do? It’s going to make their acne worse! Acne is not a hygienic issue let me explain. Acne is a condition that starts within our bodies, not from the outside. Clogged pores can cause blemishes which are the perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria, resulted to red swelling pimples. Th...

2009-09-17 20:09:00 If you’re anything like me, Internet — and we both know you aren’t, but hope someday you will be and to be honest with you, I don’t think you’re smart enough to come anywhere close — you’re probably wondering how long it’s going to take before that dead Patrick Swayze starts bugging poor Whoopi while she’s trying to host that show with all the old women and that one cute chick that all the hippies hate because she’s a Conservative and bathes regularly or whatever. Because you just know he’s going to do it at some point. So the funniest thing happened to me yesterday. I had stopped by the Circle K — you know, the one on the corner of Airline and Goodwood — on my way to work to pick up some Pop Rocks and Snapple for breakfast, and when I saw the cashier was of Middle Eastern descent, I did my civic duty as a tax-paying American citizen who loves his country and apple pie (but can’t seem to g...

Wisconsin Badgers Fight The Flu and Pull Together To Find Their Team
2009-09-14 05:57:00 MADISON, Wis. -- Last week in Madison, the Wisconsin football team made the most of a sick situation. As many as 40 players were sick forcing coach Bret Bielema and his staff to make significant changes to their practice schedule. "You know we don't usually practice on Fridays and I told the guys Thursday night because of the work we didn't get Tuesday we need to go out and practice and they didn't bat an eye," Bielema said Saturday. The Badgers didn't complain, but instead went to work, the best they could, under less than ideal conditions. "There were a few times you'd walk into the locker room and you'd hear some guy chucking into one of the garbage cans,"...

But what really astonished us was the condition - so fresh, so clean."Only about 200 copies of the original Declaration were printed on...

Gomers and rednecks find employment and humor in Cash for Clunkers
2009-08-15 01:17:00 This is the umpteenth video showing a pair of hicks at a dealer charged with killing a cash for clunkers trade in. These two - if they vote at all - owe a vote of thanks to Obama and Nancy Pelosi for not only getting them gainful (if minimum wage) employment but also for providing a humorous element to their day. Only socialized medicine could make their lives perfect after this! Yes, another clunker bites the dust. How a Corvette ended up like this is anybody's guess. I'll probably have a nightmare tonight of myself waking up at a rest home in 40 years, with a pair of gomer/redneck male nurses pulling the plug on me. What a terrible way to go.

Helping students find purpose.
2009-08-13 14:49:00 In his article, “The Moral North Star,” William Damon urges educators to help students connect what they do in school to their lives. All of us in education like to believe that we can help students find out what they are great at! It’s a phrase I’ve used at various Freshman Orientations and other occasions a number of times to encourage students to get involved, try everything, and explore all of their potential talents.In order for students to connect with school, with classes, with a team, or with something larger then themselves, they must become aware that they make a difference. “My actions matter” must be a thought that is real to students according to Damon. That means that educators have to help students discover a way to “contribute something of value through an engaging activity” that draws on academic, athletic, or artistic skills. In this time of accountability through standardized testing, Damon warns us not to forget that our purpose is to get “stude...
China's Labor Laws. Find Me That Company.
2009-08-13 12:12:00 Spoke with a reporter last week regarding China's labor laws. The conversation went sorta like this: Reporter: I want your views on how enforcement of China's labor laws is holding up despite the economic downturn. I am also wondering how representative are the stories we've all heard of one bad-egg employee winning a huge lawsuit against a foreign company that is basically in full compliance with the labor laws, with every other employee running to join in. My Response: All I can tell you is what we are seeing as one small law firm that represents exclusively foreign companies doing business in China. 1. I am definitely "feeling" a loosening of labor law enforcement by Chinese government officials and even employees. This starting happening when the economy turned and it really has not changed much despite press reports of China's economy holding up well. Having a job seems to be taking greater precedence and, with that, comes a concomitant decre...

Find A Way
2009-08-12 20:39:00 Kind of hard to believe the Cubs could give up a measly 3 hits in 12 innings last night and come up short, but that's the way it's gone lately. I thought Rich Harden was as good as he's been all year until giving up the game-tying 2-run HR to Jimmy Rollins in the 6th (the Phillies' first hit of the night). We can lament Carlos Marmol's control problems and Kevin Gregg's unfortunate penchant for giving up HRs, but it would have been nice to see the Cubs get more than 2 runs in the 3rd when they had the bases loaded with no outs. They have had lots of opportunities to step on some teams' throats lately and...
Psychopaths have faulty brain connections, scientists find
2009-08-11 16:33:00 Psychopaths who kill and rape have faulty connections between the part of the brain dealing with emotions and that which handles impulses and decision-making, scientists have found. In a study of psychopaths who had committed murder, manslaughter, multiple rape, strangulation and false imprisonment, the British scientists found that ?roads? linking the two crucial brain areas had ?potholes,? while those of non-psychopaths were in good shape. The study opens up the possibility of developing treatments for dangerous psychopaths in the future, said Dr Michael Craig of the Institute of Psychiatry at King?s College London, and may have profound implications for doctors, researchers and the criminal justice system.

What kind of GPS devices can you find on the market?
2009-08-03 10:43:00 Do you want to know what kind of device you have to use in order to connect to the global localization satellites? I’ve made a detailed presentation about all types of GPS devices you can find on the market. Dedicated GPS devices When someone refers to the general term GPS (ex: I bought a GPS), he/she refers to a dedicated device to this function, which must have a receptor capable to communicate with the GPS satellites, through a built-in receptor. These are usually bigger equipments, that can be put rather in your car, on the windscreen or on board. Most of them have a car charger, and some of them even have a special antenna that can be fixed on the exterior, for a better reception of the satellites. A conclusive example for this group is Garmin nuvi 1360 or Mio C720b, both of them with a 4,3 inch screen. It seems pretty difficult to carry it in your pocket, doesn’t it? These equipments have been especially created for the terrestrial geographical location, and the big and ...
