For one mostagic moment Tuesday , it was as if all those suburban leaf-burning bans had been overturned and the air carried a familiar autumn haze. In this case, though, the fires were raoting in a forest more than 500 miles away in the pristine reaches of Minnesota, the smoke carried here by the whims of fall winds.
The miasma crept steadily over the area throughout the afternoon, prompting a wave of curious consequences. Health officials issued advisories. Schools canceled sporting events. And residents slammed shut their windows on an otherwise lovely September afternoon. The smoke is from a wildfire burning in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Fall Lake.Smoke was heavy enough in some parts of Chicago to cause eye irritation and affect breathing , said Roderick Drew, a spokesman for the city Office of Emergency Management and communication.

Red eye article
Schoolyard standoff - on page 7,author's name is Nancy Stone/Tribune / 09/07/2011
Mayor Emanuel and schools CEO Jeanclaude Brizard raised the stakes Tuesday in their effort to add 90 minutes to Chicago's school day by offering financial incentives to elementary schools that adopt the plan even as negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union have stalled. Union members argue the waiver process was unfair, and that teachers should should have been given 48 hours' notice before the vote rather than voting on the same day issue was raised. There is pressure being put on teachers.
In my opinion it is advantage for the kids, because each day of school will be longer about 90 minutes, and there will be possible to see progress after couple months, and years .. It will be just easier to take some kind of test or as I was at high school teachers put pressure to be prepare for ACT test. Another think which is unfair is that in my opinion teachers should have been informed earlier-at least month before .
