I am a recent graduate from the University of Northern Iowa, where I received a B.A. in Music (emphasizing composition).
I discovered Ron Paul during the 2008 presidential debates -- I was hooked when he schooled Guiliani. In the Spring of 2010, I helped establish a Y4L chapter at UNI.
I've lived in Iowa for twenty years and Cedar Falls, IA for almost four. This Sunday, my boyfriend and I will be moving to Chicago, IL (OMG)!!! He received a job promotion and I need a better job that doesn't involve making burritos for drunk, belligerent people.
I hope to meet some of you Chicago C4Lers soon!!!
We just got back from looking at apartments this past Saturday so we're just waiting to hear from our potential landlords.
If you know of anything going on, please let me know! I've already joined the Cook County C4L Facebook page and updated my information here.

Please comment and rate. Revolution was my primary composition project in the Fall of 2008/Spring of 2009. I am an undergraduate at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA where I hope (crosses fingers) to graduate this May with a B.A. in Music, primary emphasis composition.
Guess it pays to be Government Motors. Full article here.
When General Motors Co. emerged from bankruptcy, it was freed of obligations for polluted properties at discarded plant sites that will require millions of dollars to clean up.GM’s unusual, government-engineered bankruptcy allowed the Detroit automaker to emerge as a new company — and to shed billions in liabilities, including claims that governments had against GM for polluting.
Environmental liabilities estimated at $530 million were left with the old GM, which has only $1.2 billion to wind down.
Administrative fees and other claims will soak up that money, and state and local officials told the Free Press they fear the cleanups will be shortchanged.
In Flint, uncertainty over cleaning up Buick City threatens a three-year redevelopment effort. “We can’t lose this opportunity to create more jobs,” said Tim Herman, chief executive officer of the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The State of New York is concerned about 12 GM sites, including a 270-acre site along the St. Lawrence River that possesses a “significant threat to human health.” Sites in Ohio, Delaware, Indiana and Colorado also have raised concerns.
GM said the issue rested with Motors Liquidation Co. — what’s left of the old GM — which declined to comment.
Companies have gone bankrupt before, leaving behind expensive messes, but the size of the environmental liabilities shed by GM is extraordinary, said John Pottow, an expert in bankruptcy law at the University of Michigan.
Who will pay for cleanups?
MASSENA, N.Y. -- The estimated cost of cleaning up years of General Motors' dumping of toxic sludge along the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York goes as high as $225 million -- perhaps the largest environmental liability among the 100 or so factory sites GM jettisoned in its bankruptcy reorganization.
Closer to home, in Flint and surrounding Genesee County, leaders say environmental liabilities the new GM was allowed to shed are threatening their efforts to redevelop Buick City, the site of a large assembly facility that closed in the late 1990s. [cont'd]
This is very encouraging! Even the liberal infested, News for Nerds, slashdot.org community is thinking correctly on this subject. But hey! It is all just "common sense".
