d AIDS were diagnosed for relatively few women and female adolescents (although we know now that many women were infected with HIV through injection drug use but that their infections were not diagnosed). Today, women account for more than one quarter of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. What meaning do those words hold, when spoken in a bar between a man and a woman? Does the meaning change when the setting changes? What if instead the situation involved a woman talking to another woman in school? It may not be enough to generically compute the combined definitions of the words... Located on the corner of Peoria and Jackson in the middle of Greektown is the new Tailor Lofts apartment complex. It is currently undergoing a top to bottom makeover that will retain some of the building's original architectural features. The 126 CTA line has a stop in front of the building which... To the Editor: It is about time that the Flame expressed no confidence in UIC student government ("featured opinion," March 1, 2010). ?Your extensive coverage of their petty antics might have led your readers to assume that you think USG somehow matters. Few things have galvanized students on campus quite like the $68,000 toilet in University Hall. Within hours of the story's publication, a Facebook group called "The $68,000 toilet at UIC" sprung up. It is nearing 1,000 members. Within days, a poster was posted all over the university arguing ... Administrators couch the university's budget crisis in terms of money. It's important to think about in terms of people. Students. Opportunities gained and lost. To that end, we have invited several members of our community to talk about the crisis in frank and personal terms. The unofficial election results are in: Junior Roshina Khan won the race for Student Member of the Board of Trustees; Saad Jamil won the race for President of USG; and Raza Jafri, running unopposed, won the race for Vice President of USG. In the race for UIC Senate, Sean Williams eeked out sligh... The infamous Westboro Baptist Church is set to picket the Levine Hillel Center here at UIC on Monday, March 8th. Located on the intersection of Morgan and Taylor, Hillel is a Jewish organization for students. Westboro Baptist Church is a group founded and led by a man named Fred Phelps. The UIC Men's Basketball season ended on a disappointing note last Tuesday with a 73-67 loss against Milwaukee. UIC drew The Panthers for the first round of the Horizon League Championships, but unfortunately for the Flames, the first stop was also the end of the line. UIC Men and Women's Track and Field teams both participated in the Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championships last week.? At the conclusion of the two-day extravaganza, hosted by the University of Detroit, both teams found themselves in sixth place. Dr. George Q. How does Chimerism work? A. Just imagine how it would upset TV crime shows and soap operas if DNA evidence for crimes and paternity suits no longer had validity. For decades we've had it drummed into us that our DNA is our "unique fingerprint". Interim University of Illinois President Stanley Ikenberry told a southern Illinois newspaper last Monday that tuition might have to be raised for incoming students by as much as 20 percent. Some members of the U of I community are worried that with proposed tuition hikes and already-enacted ho... On March 10th, 2010, UIC will be hosting its very own Safer Sex Fest in honor of National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day. It's common knowledge that college is a time for discovering who you are, choosing a career, meeting people with different perspectives, making lifelong friendships, and (m... UIC faculty and students will gather together in big numbers on Monday, March 8th, in what will certainly mark a significant moment in the unfolding of the university budget crisis. Over three hundred faculty members will take a common furlough day on Monday to voice their collective dissatisfact... This edition of the Traveler represents the ending of an era. Newspaper printers are cooling off for good. Thousands have lost their jobs. Most of all, the Internet is once again flaunting its magnificent power to shape industry. Journalism is dashing through an age of metamorphosis. Another year gone, another nearly 100 issues of the Traveler read. As readers might have already heard, big adjustments are in store for the 103-year-old student newspaper, and these changes are positive ones - the Traveler is poised to offer more campus and local coverage, as well as new, exciti... It is hard to believe that this year is coming to a close. It's that time of the year to wrap things up and pass the reigns over to the new Associated Student Government executives. I want to take a few moments to thank some important people and to share with you some of our successes in the ASG ... Summer is here! That means new activities are about to begin in the beautiful weather. The more popular summer activities are centered on lake sports, hiking and climbing. Hiking local trails is popular because working out in nature often provides a calming experience. If you decide to spend some time on Dickson Street, you might expect to find shopping, restaurants and bars, but what you might not expect is Bugsy, the top dog of Dickson Street. Bugsy spends most of his time guarding Flying Possum Leather, a store specializing in handcrafted acoustic and leat... It's that time of year. Finals again. The library is so full its like hunting season in the jungle trying to get a computer. I was actually attacked by a woman the other day. Everyone is so stressed you can almost see cartoon bubbles over their heads with exclamation and question marks. Some of the greatest things about Fayetteville are the local stores that can be found on every corner, each offering their own unique flair and one-of-a-kind treasures. Riffraff, a newly opened home décor boutique, made its home here this past February, thriving with exclusive treasures that rad... The Arkansas softball team's trip to Gainesville, Fla., to take on the top-ranked Gators last weekend was a bittersweet one. The Razorbacks (35-24, 10-14 Southeastern Conference) clinched a berth in the SEC tournament but did so by default, as they were swept by a combined score of 27-0. It wasn't an easy senior season for Jonathan Luigs under center at Arkansas. After becoming the first Razorback to win the Rimington Trophy, Luigs came back for his last year as a Razorback to learn the new schemes and techniques under Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino in his pass-heavy offense. "Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend." What a journey it has been. For the last four years, I've devoted more time to The Arkansas Traveler than just about everything. Study abroad experience makes a student stand out among other candidates on a resume and in a job interview. Study abroad programs attract students for not only gaining academic outcomes but also improving their personal skills such as broad global awareness, independency, self-reliance and div... Responding to job postings provides employers with large applicant pools. Chances are slim for those that don't know job hunters' secrets to tracking down "hidden jobs". The hidden job market is made up of all the jobs filled before they are posted, as well as all jobs received by people who d... One of the most important things to take to a career fair is what the UA Career Development Center calls a "30-second commercial." "A 30-second commercial [or a personal branding statement] is a very brief explanation of who you are and what you want to do and where you want to go," according to... There is no silver lining to the current economic crisis, but there are still several opportunities for jobs, two U of A economics professors, said during a session for graduate students. "If you can continue school, it may be the best option," said Javier Reyes, associate economics professor. This recession is far more complicated and widespread than previous ones, a UA economics professor said, and it all began with deregulating the banking system. This recession has spread the pain more evenly than ever before. Job losses have hit both coasts, with Florida and California being amon... Graduates next month will face a depleted workforce that many Arkansans have not seen in a long time. There just are not as many jobs as there were last year, but compared to the nation Arkansas is not doing quite so bad. In March the Arkansas unemployment rate rose to 6. Despite layoffs, some technology companies are continuing to hire new employees and the field might be worth looking into for those who are struggling to find a job. Job fields that are still growing include the medical, government, education and technology fields, said Becky Vianden, associate ... The job market for graduating college students still looks bleak, and frustrating experiences with career fairs don't help. Some students have been able to get internships, though jobs are hard to find. Justin Bules, a junior finance management major, went to several career fairs during his fres... While helping students get on the right career path, the UA Career Development Center is staying hip with the times by creating their own rap production. The "UA Career Development Center Rap" surfaced earlier this year when the U.S. economy and job outlook were at their worst. Job openings for college graduates are in short supply. Many companies that employ thousands of Arkansas workers around the state are cutting jobs to save money. The UA, one of the top five employers in Northwest Arkansas, however, will not cut jobs. In fact, the UA is still hiring, employment ... Career fairs, like the Walton Business Career Fair, encourage students to work on networking skills and search for employment opportunities, but some students leave feeling more frustrated than motivated. "About 90 percent of all the companies I've talked to have just given me a bunch of stateme... Twenty-first century office employees can work from almost anywhere, from home or a houseboat - dressed in housecoat and slippers, casual to business suit or for best comfort. These rewards come with telecommuting as a virtual employee. For more than two years, Lynn Howard, of Gravette, Ark. It wasn't so long ago that many felt secure in their financial situations - and it showed. Khakis and a button down, sans tie, became the uniform of the confident professional. But moods have changed and, although business casual is still the trend for many, standing out requires one's appearanc... U.S. News and World Report has ranked the UA School of Law 94th in its 2010 "America's Best Graduate Schools" edition, putting the school in the top tier of law schools in the country. "We are thrilled to be included among the top-tier law schools," said Cynthia Nance, dean of the UA School of Law. They were former UA faculty members and shared their first home on California Drive, a street directly off of the UA campus.

While learning in the middle of a construction zone might sound like a challenge, most members of the school board, the design team and parent and teache... Students who graduate next month will enter a job market fully feeling the effects of the recession, and experts say the end is not near. If the financial system does not recover soon, the recession might last beyond the end of the year, a UA economics professor said. UA students probably are accustomed to seeing dogs being walked on campus, playing Frisbee or jogging alongside their owners. But according to university policy, dogs are not allowed on the UA campus - and for student Whitney Jones, it would have been helpful if that policy had been enforced last... When students enter Brough Dining Hall this week, they won't see the usual dessert bar, friendly faces and cereal line. Instead, they now are greeted by wooden beams, black tarps and a sign that reads "Brough - an exciting new look is coming … please pardon the disruption. Students are unaware of all the free opportunities the Career Development Center provides. From Mar. 1, to Mar. 10, 56 jobs and internships were posted on eRecruiting. Students applied for only 11 of those jobs, said Barbara Batson, director of the UA Career Development Center. For some ambitious seniors who want to run their own business, the future is filled with bright colors and artistic style despite the slumping job market and bleak financial future. Kristen Blowers, a senior interior design student owns Riffraff, Fayetteville's newest eclectic store. Finding the most reasonably priced textbooks can be difficult, but for UA students, the best option is to shop around before making a final sale. Many bookstores offer similar buyback pricing - typically 50 percent of the book's original value - if the book will continue to be used on campus.
