Chicago 'L' Brown Line: Clark/Lake to Chicago/Franklin

www.actsofminortreason.com Video of a Brown Line train, taken on October 1, 2009, departing Clark/Lake station in the Loop and passing through Merchandise Mart station. Maybe the CTA will update the Chicago/Franklin station signage soon to reflect the name the announcements give it. While they're at it, maybe they can introduce a little more distinction between the four Kedzies and the five Westerns. This is a Brown Line train to Kimball.

Ok here is some info for all yall who askin about this video.... The original song was called "Im wit whatever" by lil wayne juelz santana and jim jones and it was off the "Biggy duets" album. You TUBE deleted on copyright. The footage is from a DVD called "The Forgotton City" shout out to that but i think these are the best parts. The main spread is NOT done by a disgruntled CTA worker. It is done by ETHER by far the best tag in the video. The spread that is done inside of the train around the middle of the video is done by AFRO42 and he passed away. So RIP The song now is "Claim to Fame" by Max B

Willie Fritz on CTA Suit

Carol Walter, Clinton, CT Selectman, challenges First Selectman Willie Fritz regarding the CTA suit brought on July 10. Willie and his partisan Selectmen hang together to violate the Town Charter and to deny Clinton taxpayers their right to petition. Walter points out that she had to see this on the New Haven Register website to learn about it. Fritz claims Stan Fisher called him about it and that Fisher learned about it from the CTA press release. In fact Fisher called Pam Fritz, the CTA president BEFORE the release was distributed to the press and asked why we were suing if our Town Charter was identical to the Windham charter. The following is her reply, which Mr. Fisher failed to report as he is completely compromised by the First Selectman: From: Pamela B Fritz To: Stan Fisher Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 4:36 PM Subject: CTA Lawsuit Hi Stan Our law suit is about the violation by our Board of Selectmen of our Town Charter. Regarding the town of Windham and their case, our attorney had already reviewed this case prior to filing our petition. 1. Windham has a Town Counsel form of government which functions as their legislative body. Clinton has a Town Meeting form of government that functions as our legislative body. 2. The Supreme court found that the citizens of Windham did have the right to petition. What they found was that the content of the petition was improper as it asked for a reduction of the expenditure to "0". Our 2nd petition was approved by town counsel ...

You don't see THIS everyday! 2 NYC MTA buses on the Kennedy (I-90) in CHICAGO! WTF?!

On my way home from my job at O'Hare yesterday (1/24/2012), I saw an extremely rare sight. While stopped at the Cumberalnd station, I noticed a rare bus driving by, then another just like it that read "MTA" and "New York City Bus." I then pulled out my camera and started rolling and got the first half of the video as my train departed Cumberland, then waited for the buses to pass me at the Jefferson Park station. Both of the these stations are on the CTA's Blue Line, on the O'Hare branch. HOW is it that TWO New York City MTA buses were in Chicago driving casually through the city? This was hands-down, one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, besides ghosts, haha. Given my research, these look like New Flyer C40LF buses, which were built in Winnipeg, Manitoba or Crookston and St. Cloud, MN by New Flyer Industries, which explains them traveling east on I-90 towards NYC. Enjoy the video!

Fazemos por amor, zelamos pela segurança em primeiro lugar e quanto a isso o "Governo" já vem mostrando (agora mais que nunca) que não se importa, tentando atribuir aos outros a responsabilidade pela incompetente gestão do país.

HUD-1 As A Marketing Tool - For Realtors

chicago transit authority


How Can HUD-1 Help You Generate Business?

-----------------------------------------

HUD-1 is a standard form you use very often. The form serves not just as a settlement closing statement, but also as a proof of payment of different tax deductions. Understanding the form and the tax deductible items and communicating them to your clients will help your clients to minimize their taxes and help you to build trust and get more business exposure.

What is the HUD-1

-----------------

HUD-1 is a form used by the settlement agent (closing agent) to itemize all incoming funds and all charges paid and accrued by a borrower and seller for a real estate transaction.
When is the HUD-1 Issued?

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) requires that the form be issued in all real estate transactions in the United States which involve federally related mortgage loans. RESPA states you should be given a copy of the HUD-1 at least one day prior to settlement.

When Do Clients Need HUD-1 For Taxes?

-------------------------------------

Clients use the information included in the form when they file their annual taxes. The filing deadline is normally April 15 of every year for the proceeding year. To allow the client enough time to file taxes using the HUD-1 information, it is recommended that a copy of the HUD-1 will be sent to the client in January.

Because the real estate transaction takes place during the year, usually long before filing the tax return, the HUD-1 given to the client at closing time could be lost or misplace. Sending the client a copy of the HUD-1 with a cover letter will be very helpful and time savings to the client.

HUD-1 Client Sample Letter

--------------------------

The following is a sample letter you can use to send your clients:

[Date]

TAX TIME IS COMING

Dear [Client's Name]:

Tax time indeed is just around the corner, and the first thing you will need is a copy of the Closing Statement on your property. Moving can be a very busy time, and you may have misplaced this very important document.

I would like to be sure you avail yourself of all the tax advantages possible from our transaction. If your accountant has any questions, please have him or her call me (if you need a referral to an accounting you can trust, I'd be happy to provide you with one).

I look forward to continuing as your realtor and providing you the highest level of service possible.

Yours sincerely,

[your name]

Oh, by the way... If any of your friends or relatives are thinking about buying or selling a home, I'd love to be of service to them. So, when you think of these people, just give me a call with their name and number. I'll be happy to follow up and tend to their Real Estate needs.

Which HUD-1 Information Is Important For Your Client's Taxes?

The information reported in the HUD-1 relates to the following tax statements and schedules:

Tax form HUD-1 line

Schedule A (itemized deductions), Line 10 - Annual mortgage interest deduction Line 901

Schedule A (itemized deductions), Line 10 - Points deduction Line 802

Schedule A (itemized deductions), Line 6 - Real estate taxes deduction Line 1003, 1004

Schedule E (rental income), Line 20 - Depreciation (cost of property is required) Line 101, 102

Schedule E (rental income), Line 12a - Mortgage Interest Deduction Line 901, 802

Schedule E (rental income), Line 9 - Insurance 903, 1001, 1002

Schedule E (rental income), Line 16a - Real state taxes 1003, 1004

Schedule E (rental income), Line 18 - Other deductions 703, 801-811, 1005, 1101-1110, 1201-3, 1301-1302

Schedule D (capital gain) Part I, II, Column d - Sales Price 401, 402

Schedule D (capital gain) - Part I, II, Column e - Cost or other basis 101, 102

Form 6252 (installment sale), Line 8 - Selling price 401, 402

Form 6252 (installment sale), Line 8 - Cost or other basis 101, 102

Form 4797 (sale of business property), Part I, Column d - Cost or other basis 401, 402

Form 4797 (sale of business property), Part I, Column f - 101, 102

HUD-1's two sections

--------------------

Section J, Summary of Borrower's Transaction

This section contains 6 sections, and basically summarizes the entries made to the section L (Settlement charges, see below).

o Section 100, Gross Amount Due from Borrower

o Section 200, Amounts Paid By or In Behalf of Borrower

o Section 300, Cash at Settlement From/To Borrower

o Section 400, Gross Amount Due to Seller

o Section 500, Reductions in Amount Due to Seller

o Section 600, Cash at Settlement To/From Seller

Section L, Settlement Charges

That's where many entries are tabulated before being brought forward to page 1. Columns contain charges that are paid from either the borrower's or the seller's funds. Your closing statement probably won't have entries in all lines.

o Section 700, Agency Commissions

o Section 800, Items Payable in Connection with Loan

o Section 900, Items Required by Lender to be Paid in Advance

Chicago - I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love(Subt.).avi

Chicago es, junto con Blood, Sweat & Tears (BS&T), la banda más representativa de lo que se dio en llamar Jazz Rock. Se fundó en la ciudad de su mismo nombre, en 1967, aunque inicialmente se denominó "Chicago Transit Authority", nombre que debieron recortar por problemas jurídicos con el ayuntamiento de la ciudad. El grupo aún permanece en activo en 2010. La banda estuvo integrada, inicialmente, por Lee Loughnane (trompeta), James Pankow (trombón), Walter Parazaider (saxos, flauta), Robert Lamm (voz, piano, órgano), Terry Kath (guitarra, voz), Peter Cetera (bajo, voz) y Danny Seraphine (batería, percusión). Al contrario que BS&T, Chicago mantuvo esta formación bastante estable, a lo largo de su historia. El grupo se formó en el invierno de 1967, a partir del núcleo de la banda de Kath, Parazaider y Seraphine, que se llamaba The Missing Links, durante una jam session en la Universidad DePaul, cuando se les unieron en el escenario Pankow y Loughnane. El nuevo grupo se llamó The Big Thing, y se completó poco después con Cetera y Lam. Fue éste quien embarcó a la banda en una gira a Los Ángeles, donde, ya bajo el nombre de Chicago Transit Authority, cosecharon un inesperado éxito. Ese mismo año, el productor James William Guercio, decidió tutelarlos y, por ello, renunció a producir el primer disco de BS&T, tal como le había pedido Al Kooper. Sí produjo, sin embargo, el segundo, aunque sólo después de que CBS le hubiese dado luz verde a la grabación del primer álbum de "sus ...

Redevelopment Of Co-Operative Housing Societies

chicago transit authority


With the real estate prices touching a new high, residents in old buildings are now discovering that they have an opportunity to unlock immense value from their property by offering it to a builder/developer for redevelopment. Developers, on their part, are also on the lookout for properties with unused development rights where they can build a new structure of a few storeys higher and sell those additional flats for a tidy profit for them. While it may sound like a typical 'win-win' situation, the process of redevelopment isn't as easy as it sounds. It comes with a set of rules, procedures and implications which you need to understand.

It is needless to mention here that the Redevelopment of housing societies is usually burdened with bitterness and complaints of high-handedness and corruption against the Managing Committee. Hence, with a view to ensure transparency in societies seeking to undertake redevelopment projects, the State Co-Operative Department has, for the first time, issued guidelines for societies to follow under section 79 (A) of the Maharashtra Co-operatives act, 1960.
The recent guidelines are issued by a committee comprising the co-operatives commissioner and CIDCO chairman pursuant to a deep study of complaints by members of Housing Societies undertaking the redevelopment of their property. According to an important feature in the guidelines, a redevelopment scheme has to be approved by the general body only if three-fourths of the society members are present at the meeting.

The subject of redevelopment has assumed great significance because in Mumbai, majority of the buildings owned by the Co-Operative Housing Societies are quite old and in a dilapidated state. In case of redevelopment of old buildings which have completed 30 years or are beyond repairs as certified by the Govt. approved architect on the basis of his "Structural Audit".

The first and the foremost step before going in for redevelopment would be a structural audit of the building. The structural audit report will determine whether the building should go in for redevelopment or for major repairs. In the absence of the technical report it would not be legally permissible to pass a resolution in the general body meeting. However, it is a fact that many co-operative societies suddenly call for General Body meeting and decide to go in for redevelopment in the absence of a structural audit report.

There are two important things in a Resident/Developer arrangement. One is from the commercial angle and another is from the technical angle. A Developer usually assures a certain amount of cash by way of corpus, an additional area or a mix of both. He may give an alternative accommodation for your temporary stay, foot your rentals or give you a monthly compensation within which you have to find your temporary accommodation.

Before you negotiate with a Developer, you need to establish the market value of the property you will receive on completion of redevelopment. This is a better approach than quoting a random figure to the builder that would make them feel short-changed or the high amount would make the builder shy on the new project.

The technical angle refers to the finished good. Does it match the quality and terms and conditions assured by the builder? In fact, at the agreement stage itself, the society residents should appoint a lawyer to draft and finalize the agreement. It usually takes a year for a builder to convince the society members and take an in-principle approval. The society members should ensure the timely completion of the project which is the most important detail to be mentioned in the agreement.

The main parties involved in the any redevelopment project are Society and Developer. Committee Members dealing on behalf of cooperative housing society are mostly non-technical and are laymen.

Therefore it is very important that the drafting of the Tender / agreement is done meticulously so that there is no chance of dispute and/or difference between both the parties. Excellent skills and vast Legal & Technical knowledge is required to draft such an important document. It is very important to avail the services of a professional, who is legally as well as technically qualified and a person who has the vision to anticipate future problems and requirements.
In any scheme of redevelopment, the primary objective is to ensure guarantee of performance. Performance is principally in the area of timely construction, quality control and adherence to rules, and regulations.

The best way to select the builder is to invite sealed tenders through a public notice and such tenders should have the basic eligibility criteria mentioned. This will bring in more transparency in selecting the developer. Brief details and advantages of the tendering process are given below.

BRIEF DETAIL OF TENDERING
- Preparation of Tender Document including Technical, Commercial and Legal conditions, detailed Specifications and offer etc
- Advertisement in 3 local News paper
- Selling Tender documents
- Identification of Developer and evaluation of offers and Recommendation
- Guidance in Negotiation
- Formation of suitable agreement

ADVANTAGES OF TENDERING

- As advertisement is given in 3 prominent newspapers society will get good offers from reputed developers.
- As offers are invited in a sealed tender form, there is a severe competition among the bidders.
- As all the specifications and terms and conditions are same for all the bidders, it becomes easy for comparison and evaluation.
- Earnest Money Deposit in the form of PAY ORDER payable to the society is taken from each and every bidder so that unwanted or non interested parties do not bid for the work
- Mode of measurement of carpet area and person who will certify the same is clearly defined.
- Entire redevelopment proposal to be done in society's name making it safer for society in case of any problems faced by developer.
- Right to change and or remove developer stays with the society.
- As all the details pertaining to commercial terms such as Bank Guarantee, temporary accommodation, cost of additional area etc is clearly defined the chances of ambiguity and disputes are virtually non-existent.
- Detailed technical methodology of work is laid out in the tender document under the head of technical specification.
- Basic rates are mentioned in the tender document enabling members to change any specification for their individual uses.
- Right to check amendments of plans during the progress of work is kept with the society.
- Material to be used is spelt out with brand names to avoid any confusion.
- As all the items are defined clearly the chances of getting realistic offer are excellent.
- Consequences of delay are defined in tender document.
- Tender is a legally binding document.
- Bye Law No 158 recommends need of tender document for construction of building.

After a proper feasibility report is submitted, the next step in the process of Redevelopment of any society is the most important one, viz: Selection of the PERFECT DEVELOPER, who will meet all the needs of the society, and at the same time be financially stable, and having a lot of experience of Redevelopment because unrealistic offers can often lead to redevelopment projects being stalled and leave residents in a fix.

This is achieved by the process of tendering, wherein the PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT will float a tender document containing all the Legal, Technical, and Commercial & Other important Terms & Conditions, whereby maximum safety of the society members is ensured, as they are parting with their life's most valuable possession.... their house, in the hands of a perfect stranger.

Before we agree to re-development plan, please read carefully, the procedural aspects are strictly followed as per the Govt. guidelines at the Meetings of the Society.

The Government of Maharashtra has issued a Circular bearing No. CHS 2007/CR554/14-C, Co-operation, Marketing and Textiles Department Date: 3rd January 2009 which contains a Directive under Section 79(A) of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960 for all the Co-operative Housing Societies in the State of Maharashtra regarding the Redevelopment of Buildings of Co-operative Housing Societies that wherever, the buildings of Co-operative Housing Societies in the State of Maharashtra are being redeveloped on a large scale, a number of complaints were received from members against managements of Co-operative Societies in which redevelopment is taking place. In respect of most of the Co-operative Housing societies, nature of complaints relating to redevelopment is as under:-

1. Not taking the members in confidence in the process of redevelopment.

2. There is no transparency in tender process.

3. Appointing contractors arbitrarily.

4. To work by violating provisions of Co-operative Act, Rules and Bye-Laws.

5. No orderliness in the work of Architect and Project Consultant.

6. Not planning Redevelopment Project Report.

7. Not adopting proper procedure in finalizing tenders.

Whereas there is no concrete policy in respect of all above points of complaint and therefore Co-operation Commissioner and Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune had appointed a Study Group under the Chairmanship of Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies (CIDCO) to study the complaints received at various levels and for consultations with all constituents working in the relevant fields. The said Study Group has expressed the opinion that it is essential to frame regulations for redevelopment of buildings of Co-operative Housing Societies after consultation with all the constituents in the field of Co-operative Housing.

Ref.: Z:\000 - 500\2 GOVERNMENT CIRCULARS & COURT JUDGEMENTS 2008\2 GOVT CIRCULARS 2007\142 Directive for Redevelopment of Building of Co-operative Housing Society [English] 03-01-2009.

A well drafted consent of at least 70% the Society members must be obtained in writing during the Society meetings when the subject of redevelopment is discussed. However, the minority members of co-operative housing society cannot obstruct a redevelopment project. On Jun 28, 2010, the Bombay high court has once again ruled that members of a co-operative housing society who are in minority cannot obstruct a redevelopment project and must abide by the majority decision of the society, unless they show that here is some prejudice caused to them or a fraud has been committed.

In a recent ruling, the Bombay High Court has stated that the issue of minority of tenants cannot be an obstacle for redeveloping a property if minimum 70% of the tenants are ready for the same.

The judgment came against a matter of a redevelopment in Dadar where 17 members were opposing the redevelopment of an old Parsi chawl. Based on the writ petition filed by the group of dissenting members, Justice D.B.Bhosale granted the permission to BMC to forcibly evict the families with the police help in case of any opposition from the others against the redevelopment.

It is important to note that as per the section 103B of Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976, with the guidelines for redevelopment of old Municipal Properties by the Municipal Tenants Co-Operative Housing Societies on the land owned by the Corporation under regulation 33(7) of the Development Central Regulations for Greater Bombay, 1991, it is necessary that more than 70% of the eligible existing Municipal tenants should give written consent to redevelop the property under the scheme with a formation of a co- operative society / association and an initiative proposal for the redevelopment.

The court has held that once 70% or more occupants /tenants give their consent for redevelopment by forming a co-operative body and if the scheme is approved by the corporation, it is binding to all other occupants. As per the guidelines, the tenants / occupants with separate stand, have no choice but to follow the norms. Being in minority (about 30% or less than that) the only choice for them remains is, to give up their tenancy rights and quit from the scheme.

The special general body has to approve the bid of the successful bidder in a meeting attended by the registrar. The entire proceedings have to be video-recorded. Once the agreement is accepted in terms of area and corpus fund, it cannot be revised. The successful bidder has to give a bank guarantee equivalent to 20% of the total project cost to show his financial strength, and proof that he will not throw away the project midway.

The Developer values the kind of Societies that either have some open plot of land or are willing to demolish the old structures to reconstruct new buildings. Where such redevelopment is possible, Developer normally agree to pay some consideration by way of Corpus Fund including more area in their existing flats to the members and seek permission to construct a building on the open plot of land or to construct a new, bigger building using the Transferable Development Right (TDR), Floor space index (FSI) after demolishing the existing structure.

Depending upon the offer from the Developer and subsequent negotiations him, he either provides alternate residential flats to the members of the Society or pay rent in advance by way of post dated cheques, one month rent as brokerage and transportation charge etc. to secure an alternate accommodation till the new building is constructed and the members are rehabilitated in their new flats. All the demands and negotiations have to be carefully recorded in the 'Development Agreement' for successful execution of redevelopment in a housing society and the office bearers and the managing committee members have a strong role to play.

In any process of redevelopment, one must be aware of various documentations that are required and also one must understand the tax implications on redevelopment of immovable property. The principal documents are 'Development Agreement' and 'Power of Attorney' which are to be registered by paying appropriate stamp duty.

By executing the Development Agreement' with the Society, the Developer gets the required permission to develop the land and submits the papers to concerned civic authorities. Upon various sanctions available to him, the Developer constructs the buildings at his cost, retains some flats for him to be sold in the open market and earn profit.

It is important for a Society to have a valid conveyance of land and building in its favor for it to be redeveloped at a later date and that includes acquiring marketable title, permission for reconstruction and construction of additional floors by use of TDR and FSI, or else, Society may not get any approval of plan from Municipal Corporation. But due to our ignorance, majority of Builders fail to convey the title to a Co-Operative Society after the flats initially constructed on a plot of land.

In fact, the greater majority of the Co-Operative Housing Societies, formed in Mumbai in the last twenty years, do not have the land conveyed in their favor which results in the Developer or the earlier owner continues to remain the owner of the property. This results in a situation where these Societies have only possessor rights and not the ownership rights over the land, depriving them of the additional TDR FSI that is the main driving force for entering into such redevelopment agreements when required at a later date.

The task of satisfactory completion of redevelopment of any Housing Society and to get back their members in their dream houses is not difficult provided the Office Bearers and the Committee Members are honest and justify their respective posts in the welfare and well being of the members of the Society.

How to Import Green Coffee From Origin Countries

chicago transit authority


Importing starts with green coffee that is completely processed and ready for export from the origin country. Typically, shipped in 20 foot containers of 275 to 320 bags (70kb or 60kg) or less. It could also be loaded bulk, therefore enabling more beans to be shipped, lowering the shipping costs on a per pound/kilo basis.

From the USA, specialty coffees are most often purchased by importers or individual roasters via an FOB Contract. FOB (Free On Board) means that the price paid by the buyer includes all of the costs in the exporting country, including processing, inland transport, warehousing, dock fees, export fees and loading the container onto the ship. Ownership passes from the seller to the buyer once the container passes over the rail of the ship. The ships captain prepares the Bill of Lading that you will present to your bank to prove the coffee is now on the ship.

The exporter will need a bank that can handle international interbank transactions. Preferably one that is experienced in export document requirements. If not well established at this type of transaction, the exporter will not want to extend credit to any buyer, but will require payment terms: CAD (Cash Against Documents).

A CAD transaction enables the exporter to have payment deposited into his bank account after presenting to the bank the required documents proving that the coffee purchased by the importer (buyer) meets the specifications in the coffee purchase contract/agreement. The exporter's bank will determine exactly what documents are required.

These documents may include:

- Ocean Bill of Lading (from the freight liner after the coffee is loaded on the ship)
- Weight Notes to identify the exact content and weight of that content
- Certificate of Origin (issued by the government Customs authority in India)
- Certificate of Fumigation (if required by importing country)
- ICO Certificate of Origin (Approved by the ICO: International Coffee Organization)
- Invoice sent to buyer identify the details of the purchase and $Value.
- Packing List from seller as evidence of the product shipped.
- Other agricultural certificates as dictated in your country

Typically, the exporter will use an Export Broker in the origin country who is expert in these matters and can arrange all of the issues involved in preparing the coffee and the documents for export. If a broker is the seller/exporter, then he will handle all of the required export documentation. The buyer/importer arranges for payment, ocean freight and transport insurance. It's also the importer's responsibility for acquiring all import documentation and arrangement in his country.

Of course, finding buyers is the key when importing for resell. For information to identify coffee importers, office coffee service providers and specialty gourmet coffee roasters in the United States, you can purchase a membership list from the Specialty Coffee Association of America or from InfoUSA.com. You can use networking sites like, TradeKey as well.

Note: there are always risks associated with importing. Although the importer may have received samples representing the coffee purchased, in most cases the actual coffee received will match the quality grade, type and source, every coffee lot is different, even from the same region and farm.

There are a few ways to lower this risk. One is to be sure you have a "green coffee contract" modeled after the Green Coffee Association Contract Terms & Conditions. Second, be sure to get an export sample taken directly from the contain prior to its being loaded onto the ship, since once the container is on the ship ownership transfers to the importer (FOB contract terms). Finally, when you purchase is large enough, personally knowing who your buying from and even visiting the country to physically select and monitor the export process is an option.
