The 2011 Chicago Mayoral Election is the first time in 60 years that a sitting Chicago Mayor is not on the ballot. And the first time in 22 years that Daley is not on the ballot. This election is supposed to have a voter turnout of just over 50%. When Daley ran in 1989, there was a 60%voter turnout. Candidate Rahm Emanuel was the former Chief of Staff at the White House.

Having a basketball game after school, being assigned a huge project due next week, and then finding out that you have two tests the next day is a great way to enjoy your day. Yeah right! These news could overwhelm anyone about their lack of time in the evening. What everyone needs to know is how to manage their precious minutes so that they can accomplish everything that they need to do.

You are walking down the hallway to gym class. So far your day has gone awesomely. You got a 93 percent on your difficult math test, your friend told you a funny joke, and now you get to go to gym to play your favorite sport. That's when you see that today is the day of all days: the day to run the mile! "NOOOOO!!!" I'll bet that almost everyone you ask is thinking that they don't want to run the weekly mile.
Dear Zback,
If you don't like your girlfriend, why are you dating her? Just tell her it's absolutely nothing against her, but that you don't think the relationship is right!
Don't ever break-up with a current girlfriend for another girl, it's not right to do that. People would not like that.
But don't worry about dating at this time of your life. Keep focused to school and activities! Dating not important, it can just cause issues and gets in the way of enjoying your single-time before you're taken over with dating (when your older)!
Praises...Just for YOU
GIRL WHO IS HAPPY

You're a teenage right? So why not embrace it?
You are BEAUTIFUL; for every person who has called you ugly (how could they?), there is someone who loves you. You are beautiful, but only if you choose to show it.
You are POWERFUL; you can make changes. You might not know but your powers are unlimited.
You are COLORFUL; you are made up of the wackiest and weirdest shades. But that's what makes you you.
