I'm toooooo Frustrated at the Moment
So I been filling out applications everywhere because I'm looking for a summer job. I was in Macy's the other day after I got out of class and I had seen this shoe by Jessica Simpson that I just have to have. I decided that I would wait and come back and get it til I saved up enough money.The shoes were on sale and everything.
Two or Three days go by......
I go back in Macy's looking for the shoe. I know the Macy's downtown like the back of my hand because I'm down there enough anyway, I get on the escalators to the women's shoe floor and I get to where I saw the shoe at and to my dismay they were gone!!! I was to mad!!! That's when I came to the conclusion that I need a job. No more saving up and missing out on a shoe. So this past weekend I applied to Old Navy and the Gap downtown and the ones in Chicago Ridge.
I got a call on the house phone from Old Navy. My sister answered the phone and hey asked for me so she told then to hold on, so when she gave me the phone and I said hello, no one answered. I was on the phone for a good 3 minutes waiting for someone to say something and no answer!!! I am tooooooo mad!!!!! I called the number back and it rang once and went to the dial tone. My mom told me to call the Old Navy tomorrow and ask for personnel and tell them he situation and leave them my number.
I will be on it 2mrw after my 6 hour Reporting and Writing class :-(

President Obama Overturns Bush's Policy on Stem Cell Research
Today, President Barack Obama overturned Bush's policy on stem cell research. When I was driving my little sister to school this morning, I heard on the radio how President Obama was going to change this law that was made by Bush and I didn't even know what stem cell research was until today.
In my Biology of Human Reproduction class today, we talked about birth and the different stages an embryo goes through to get to the actual fetus stage. For those of you who have no idea what stem cell research is about or what it is for like I didn't know at first, I will give you a little background on this topic from what I learned today in class.
So, during reproduction and once the egg and sperm connect and the sperm attaches to the nucleus of the egg, cells are beginning to be made and to make a long story short there are 46 chromosomes after all the conjoining of the genetic cells from the sperm and the egg. All while this is happening, this ball of cells are moving through the fallopian tubes of the woman and will eventually make it to the uterus where it will attach and the development of the fetus occurs for 9 months.
Well during that process, this "ball" turns into an embryo before it turns into a fetus. The cells from the embryo is what scientists used for stem cell research before Bush stopped funding it. People thought that since this embryo has the potential of becoming a human that this certain research is killing life because once you take the embryo out of the woman's body, the embryo will die. So Bush stopped funding stem cell research.
Cells from embryos could turn into any kind of cells that was needed. For example, during stem cell research, before it was stopped, scientist found out that an embryo cell from a mouse could turn into a cell that can produce insulin. So this could cure people with type 1 diabetes who don't have the cells that produce insulin if scientists were able to research with human embryos.
Overall, stem cell research is very important and since President Obama has lifted that restriction, we may be hearing about advances in stem cell research in the near future.
GOTTA LOVE OUR PRESIDENT!
Did Anyone Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians Last Night????
I absolutely love this show and I am kinda jealous of Kim Kardashian because she has Reggie Bush(But I have my own Reggie Bush ♥R.E.M ♥ ) The first episode was about Khloe Kardashian and her whole DUI ordeal and going to jail. If you didn't see it, you should definitely watch it. You can also catch up on the show and watch season 1. You can catch the show on E! network...channel 71 at least for Comcast it's channel 71 and I think for regular cable also. I don't know what channel it would be for Direct TV or anything else but it's on E! network. It comes on at 9p.m. eastern on Sundays and you can catch the reruns during the week.

Chicago City Council Urges FDA to Ban BPA
By Samantha Battle
Columbia College Student
Chicago City Council passed a resolution on Wednesday urging the Food and Drug Administration to ban Bisphenol A, a potentially toxic chemical that is found in some plastic. If action has not taken place, the city council will have to take matters into their own hands by April 30th.
Alderman Manuel Flores and Edward M. Burke presented to the city council with a summary of possible effects of Bisphenol A, also called BPA, which is generally used in making baby bottles and other baby products, water bottles and plastic containers.
BPA has been linked to serious health problems including prostate and breast cancer and neurological disorders in laboratory tests. The risk of these diseases and other chronic illnesses from the exposure are higher for children, Flores said.
"Expert witnesses testified in support of the ordinance, Flores wrote on his Facebook page.
"Professor Gail Prins from UIC has studied the chemical extensively and greatly encouraged passage of the ordinance in order to protect the children of Chicago."
This issue has brought up many concerns with Chicago citizens. Mothers in particular are taking notice in this issue because their young children at risk.
"I am terrified by this because my son is 2 years old and occasionally still drinks from a bottle and let alone his training plastic cup also, and to think that he is exposed to this chemical is terrifying," said Marri Hart, a mother and customer service representative at AT&T.
This issue is personal for Flores also because he has a 2-year-old son.
"I have a 2-year-old son that may be exposed to this," he said. "What type of price tag are we putting on people’s lives."
A FDA statement released on Feb. 9 on the FDA Website states that "Health Canada’s Health Products and Food Branch has concluded that current dietary exposure to BPA through food packaging uses is not expected to pose a health risk to the general population, including newborns and infants. However, using a precautionary approach, the Government of Canada has taken steps to reduce exposure to BPA for infants and young children."
Flores would like Chicago to pursue Canada’s lead in becoming the first city to ban BPA in children’s products.
"I hope that other cities will follow Chicago’s lead," Flores said.
The American Plastic Council is aware of this resolution set by the Chicago City Council, but won’t change their practices until the federal guidelines change, said Abigail Towne, the AP Executive Director of the American Plastic Council.
"We believe there is no danger posed by the use of BPA in plastics used by people of any age," Towne said. "Every plastics manufacturer that is part of our organization follows federal guidelines when producing all its products. The FDA has not taken action against BPA, and therefore plastic manufacturers are breaking no laws by using it in their products as they chose."
