Who that rising star?
The article of who's that rising star is about a single artist name is Romeo Santos. Romeo was then the led single of the internationally band know as aventura. Romeo was invited to sing a song with Dancing with the stars but due to conflict of schedule he couldn't make it. Romeo debuted number 9 a on the Billboard on Tuesday.Romeo stated he loves bachata so much that instead of doing what other artist do when they invite other artist for duet which change their genre to him. He decide to ask Usher to sing a song with him but in his genre which will always be bachata.
Overall the article titled who's the rising star is about how Romeo Santos became famous for his well recognized music in the Latino world. I think Romeo Santos is a great artist that has so much to give to his fans and is going to go a long way and rise like the star he is.

Summary: The friday after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday", because It's the shopping day that moved the retailer's ledgers out of the red and into the black. On that day, alomost every store have its big sale on midnight 4 or 5am.A lot stores as Bestbuy people start line up on the night until next day early morning to get big sale ticket.

Occupy protests take it to the streets
Sehoon Cheon
New York police prevented protesters from shutting down Wall Street on Thursday,
arresting at least 177 people in repeated clashes with an Occupy Wall Street rally that grew
to several thousand strong. Protesters took to the street s in rainy New York and elsewhere in the U.S for a day of action seen as a test of the two-month-old Occupy Wall Street movement against economic inequality. In the biggest New York protest since a police raid broke up the protesters' encampment in a park near Wall Street on Tuesday, organiczers and city officials had expected tensof thousands to turn out.
I think that the Wall Street Occupation is changing form old paradigm.
First, The United States since the Global financial crisis that is rapidly descending.
Second, the capitalist system can disappear through revolution one day.
A view of Occupy wall street that shook the U.S and the capitalist system.

4. Title of the article:ONE FINE DAY
This article is talking about the City Council is set to vote on Mayor Emanuel's budget, which includes a variety of fine increases. Chicagoans who abide by city rules face higher fees for water, vehicle stickers and garage parking under Mayor Emanuel's budget that comes up for a vote Wednesday.
In my opinion,the new major is counting on such bad behavior to balance his first spending plan, which anticipates racking up at least $26 million from increased fines.And i don't like it, but it's not expected to derail Emanuel's carefully crafted $6.3 billion budget from passing the City Council by a wide margin Wednesday.

Summary:
Chicagoans are the people who abide by city rules face higher fees for water, vehicle stickers and garage parking under Mayor Emanuel’s budget that comes up for a vote Wednesday. Some are below.
Offense old fine new fine
Tampering with city water meter shut off $500-$700
No vehicle sticker (large truck) $120 $500
Late fee for vehicle sticker $40 $60
Vehicle impound fee for arrests $1000 $2000
Failure to cut weeds, grass $500-$1000 $600-$1200
Illegal garbage dumping $250-$500 $300-$600
Parking in residential zone without permit $60 $75
Opinion:
Increasing the fee of vehicular staff will also increase people’s financial burden undoubtedly. As the financial storm happened, the government and relative organizations keep curtailing welfare and increasing fines from the people who didn’t do anything in the financial storm. In my opinion, the government should undertake the responsibility of fragile economy, which could be broken such easily. The government should also figure out more useful and workable policies but seizing from populace to stimulate the slack economy.

4. Speed Camera Angles
5. Mayor Emmanuel has framed his plan of eligibility for speed drivers at Chicago that could be fined as $100 tickets. Pitching is a way to leverage technology to better protect children near schools and parks. House Speaker Michael Madigan agreed at a committee hearing to match his proposal with allowing speed cameras in "safety zones". With a one-eight mile of the property line of a school, college or park district facility in the State. In addition to it, inserting a ban on speed cameras for the expressways and Lake Shore Drive.
6. This topic is essential to know for everyone who is driving on the road. New laws come out often and they are very important to remember and they should be shared between family and friends. In other way it will give responsible driving and less accidents in the city.
