| Chicago-Based Treatment Center Participates In National Eating ...
In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with anorexia or bulimia and another 25 million with binge eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). As these numbers have continued to rise, so does the need to raise awareness. National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW), Feb. 24 to March 1, is held annually to turn the nation's attention to these life-threatening diseases.
Working with NEDA and fellow official coordinators nationwide, Chicago-based Timberline Knolls, a leading residential treatment center, will encourage throwing out skinny jeans in favor of comfortable ones. For the "Embrace Your Genes" drive, Timberline Knolls will collect jeans at the admissions desk in the main building, located at 40 Timberline Drive in Lemont through Feb.
Wilco pulls out all the stops in five-night residency
How special was Wilco's show Friday night at the Riviera Theatre? Special enough to bring back the banjo. The Chicago band's longtime listeners will recall a time when front man Jeff Tweedy wanted so badly to break with his roots-rock beginnings that he told fans to stash the twangy instrument in a rather uncomfortable part of their collective anatomy. .
Real truths at heart of the Creation stories
Merely reading the "first day" through the "seventh day" has little meaning, and has been called "a constructed creation myth". However, in the Gospels, the Lord Jesus reveals the chronological order of the days of Moses, to where their true meaning is uncovered. Consider the following: A. The Fourth Day of Moses, from Creation Week 1. Covers the period 4.6 Billion BC to 245 Million BC a) Depicts the creation of the (other) celestial bodies B. The fifth day of Moses, from Restoration Week 1 1. Covers the period 245 Million BC to 65 Million BC a) Depicts the creation of "sea monsters" and birds b) Discovered life forms i. ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, pliosaurs, plesiosaurs, and archaeopteryx C. The sixth day of Moses, from Restoration Week 2 1. Covers the period 65 Million BC to 42 Million BC a) Depicts the creation of herbivores, large animals, and the "remaking" of mankind into God's image b) Discovered life forms i.
Kleiza, Najera remain Nuggets
At the Pepsi Center on Thursday, the Nuggets' diamond-encrusted watches simultaneously ticked 1 p.m., and there stood Linas Kleiza on the practice court, his gym bag packed for tonight's Nuggets game at Chicago. "I'm still here, baby," Kleiza said, as the NBA trade deadline passed. The Nuggets decided not to trade the 23-year-old for Sacramento's Ron Artest, opting instead to make one minor trade, shipping seldom-used guard Von Wafer to Portland for seldom-used guard Taurean Green. Multiple sources close to the situation said the Kings would not trade Artest unless they received Kleiza. The decision not to acquire Artest, much debated by Nuggets fans, came with multiple explanations from the team. For one, Denver would have .
Cavaliers take a risk with 11-player trade
Cleveland dealt away half its active roster in an 11-player trade deal that the Cavaliers hope will help its star, LeBron James, lead the team to the NBA title. With one minute to spare before the trading deadline expired, Cleveland dismantled its team in a move that management acknowledges is risky, with fewer than 30 games remaining in the regular season. In a complex deal involving Cleveland, Chicago and Seattle, Ferry dealt half his active roster to acquire center Ben Wallace and forward Joe Smith from the Bulls, and forward Wally Szczerbiak and guard Delonte West from the SuperSonics. James wants to win a championship, and after seeing several other teams land big-name players via trades in recent weeks, he made it clear to Cavaliers management that he needed help.
Illinois gunman's deadly rampage baffles many who knew him; police had ...
If there is such a thing as a profile of a mass murderer, Steven Kazmierczak didn't fit it: outstanding student, engaging, polite and industrious, with what looked like a bright future in the criminal justice field. And yet on Thursday, the 27-year-old Kazmierczak, who had ties to Florida, armed himself with three handguns and a brand-new pump-action shotgun he had carried onto campus in a guitar case. He stepped from behind a screen on the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University and opened fire on a geology class, killing five students before committing suicide. University Police Chief Donald Grady said, without giving details, that Kazmierczak had become erratic in the past two weeks after he had stopped taking his medication. But that seemed to come as news to many of those who knew him, and the attack itself was positively baffling.
