Get to know North Park! Transition is tough, but our campus community is glad to welcome you. Take advantage of community-focused events throughout the week where you'll meet our faculty, staff, and students who are looking forward to helping you find your place here.
Events and times subject to change. Download a campus map.
We love to eat together at North Park, and this will be a great chance for you to keep getting to know your CREW Groups, who you'll be spending a lot of time with throughout the week. (And, if our hunch is right, you'll be spending a lot of time with them for the next four years.)
Check in to get your schedule for the week and other important information that will help with your transition. Stop by the Welcome Tent as soon as you get to campus — resident students must stop here before checking in at their assigned campus housing.
Get your student ID, check-in with student accounts, ask questions and get answers!
You should head to the Student Administrative Services Check-In as soon as you are done at the Welcome Tent. Resident students must stop here before heading to your residence hall in order to get their student ID, which serves as a key to your residence hall and other buildings on campus.
We do our best to make the move-in as painless as possible! You'll be greeted at your residence hall by CREW leaders, Threshold staff, and maybe even our University president, Dr. David Parkyn, to help carry your loads. We've got this down to a science so you can enjoy your whole day.
✔ Please note: You must check in at your building during the times listed above, but you will be able to continue moving in your things throughout the day. Your student ID card is your key to the residence hall and other campus buildings; you must check in at the Welcome Tent and Student Administrative Services Check-In before you head to your assigned campus housing.
Will my son or daughter really be OK when I leave? How will North Park become my student's new community? Following the North Park Welcome, parents and families are invited to stay in the gymnasium to hear from staff and faculty who can answer your questions and ease your fears. North Park is excited to join you for the next steps of your student's life!
The last stop of the day for parents and families, Welcome Day activities conclude with this meaningful service. Led by Campus Pastor Judy Peterson, please join us to surround our new students, their families, and the North Park community in prayer as we kick off a new school year.
Students: Head over to Wilson Hall to make new friends as you meet the rest of your CREW Group and leaders. Hang out under the tents and watch the stage for instructions from CREW Group leaders.
Just because you're out of your family home doesn't mean you're living on your own. Gather with groups from your residence hall to get the ins and outs of living communally. These folks will be your neighbors, friends, and classmates for a long time — get off to a good start together.
Have questions about your student loans? Our financial aid experts are here to help!
If you have been given work study as part of your financial aid package, attend this session to get all the paperwork taken care of.
In this instructive and inspiring approach to understanding the core values of diversity, students will gain knowledge that dispels the myth that nurturing diversity is only relevant to underrepresented groups; increase their awareness and appreciation for difference; and identify the benefits associated with fostering a culture of inclusion.
Marvin Worthy, President and CEO, Worthy Consulting and Training Group
Get the scoop on the departments, offices, and people that are here to help you, as well as take care of some serious business like the student handbook and community conduct standards and policies. These two sessions are important, but we'll energize you with some free ice cream in between! And there will be prizes!
Between choosing your own adventure and the CLASS movie night, take advantage of being in downtown Chicago and explore classic eateries, grab a real Chicago hotdog or deep dish pizza, or even discover a new hidden gem of a restaurant. Bring at least $10.
North Park's commitment to being a Christian University is evident by the number of students who get up every Sunday morning and head to one of Chicago's multitude of churches. On Sunday morning, the University Ministries team will help point you in the right direction toward some great local options on your first Sunday at North Park.
Not just another service, Collegelife is a communal worship experience designed to help all of us learn and live out what it means to follow Jesus. Through the arts, practical teachings, and the opportunity to respond, our desire is to bring a Christian perspective to the real-life issues students face today. University Ministries invites you to the first service of the semester — a great chance to kick off the year with community prayer and worship.

LONDON — The hostage crisis in Algeria has upended the Obama administration's strategy for coordinating an international military campaign against al-Qaeda fighters in North Africa, leaving U.S., European and African leaders even more at odds over how to tackle the problem.
For months, U.S. officials have intensively lobbied Algeria — whose military is by far the strongest in North Africa — to help intervene in next-door Mali, where jihadists and other rebels have established a well-defended base of operations. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other high-ranking U.S. officials made repeated visits to Algiers in the fall in a bid to persuade the oil-rich country to contribute troops to a U.N.-backed military force in Mali.

Reno used a barrage of offense to overwhelm the visitors, scoring four quick runs throughout the first three innings. While the initial onslaught definitely helped matters, it was another four runs that seized the win for the Aces.
Holding on to a slight 4-3 lead, the first-place Aces got things going again after its offense went dry following the opening three innings. Reno jumpstarted its bats once more in the bottom of the seventh to put the game away for good. The Aces put a four-spot on the scoreboard in the seventh frame, taking advantage of timely hits and a Rainiers' error.
A single and a walk put Jake Elmore and Ryan Wheeler on second and first, respectively. An intentional walk to Gillespie loaded the sacs for the Aces, setting up Jacobs for a two-run single. Gillespie rounded the bases for a run on a wild pitch before Harbin dropped a single into right field to score Jacobs and capped the inning with Reno holding the eventual final advantage of 8-3.
In his second start since being optioned to Reno from the Diamondbacks, Aces starter Patrick Corbin earned the win, pitching six innings while allowing three runs for his first victory with Reno.
Corbin got early help from his teammates as the Aces quickly went to work from the batter's box.
Three doubles flew off the bat of Aces batters in the bottom of the first as Reno pushed two runs across the plate. Adam Eaton led the inning off by turning on the first pitch for a double. After a groundout and strikeout, Randy Ruiz doubled home Eaton. Cole Gillespie then trade places with Ruiz for a 2-0 Aces edge.
The Rainiers threatened in the top of the second, but to no avail. After the first two batters were retired, a single by Carlos Triunfel and a pair of walks to Mike Wilson and Guillermo Quiroz loaded the bases for Tacoma. Fortunately for the home team, Corbin induced an inning-ending groundout.
Reno struck from the batter's box again in both the bottom of the second and third frames. Taylor Harbin kept the doubles going for the Aces, sending a shot to the left-center field gap. Harbin touched home on a fielder's choice from Konrad Schmidt. In the third, Reno scored with two down. Gillespie took a free pass to first and reached third on a single by Jacobs. A passed ball then scored Gillespie for a 4-0 Aces lead.
Tacoma began to claw its way back into the game in the top of the fourth when Vinnie Catricala launched a solo shot deep over the 410-foot marker of the outfield wall to bring the deficit to 4-1. A pair of key double plays helped the Rainiers escape potential danger in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings, allowing Tacoma to close the gap even more with two runs in the top of the sixth.
The short rally started with a walk to Casper Wells and a single from Carlos Peguero. Catricala notched his second RBI of the night with a single to left field for a score of 4-2. Wilson then sent a bloop single to right that allowed Peguero to cross home, bringing the score to 4-3.
Neither squad managed much offense over the course of the next two half frames of work as both went 3-up and 3-down to keep the game a one-run affair before the Aces posted four runs in the bottom of the seventh to seal the victory.
Reno (30-25) out-hit Tacoma (23-31) 11-8 on the game. The Aces will look to complete the four-game series sweep of the Rainiers today with Game 4 set to start at 7:05 p.m.

Ged Foley and Sandy Jones to Perform at the Clark February 5 Williamstown, MA
For Immediate Release
January 13, 2000
Guitarist Ged Foley and fiddler Sandy Jones will perform in the second "Celtic Music for the Millennium" concert at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, February 5, at 8:00 p.m. The duo, both members of the acclaimed Irish group The House Band, will share a double bill with fiddler player Kevin Burke. Tickets are $15 ($10 for members, $8 for children) and are available at the Clark Museum Shop, Cold Spring Coffee Roasters in Williamstown, Wood Brothers Music in Pittsfield, and Papyri Books in North Adams.
To order tickets by phone, call the events office at 413-458-2303, extension 324. Foley and Jones teamed up in 1999 and perform a variety of music drawn from the north east England, Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. Foley is known for his guitar playing and has also been praised as a "strong unaffected singer" (The Washington Post). He co-founded The House Band and has been a member of the Irish "supergroup" Patrick Street since 1994. Jones, a native of South Carolina, toured with The House Band in 1994 and became a full-fledged member of the group in 1998.
Fellow fiddler Kevin Burke has said of Jones, "it's a pleasure to hear such a thoughtful approach to music." Burke hailed as "probably the greatest Irish fiddler living" (The Village Voice) will also appear on February 5. The concert is the second in the Celtic Music series which began in January with critically acclaimed, standing-room-only performance by Lunasa. The remaining concerts will be Anam, "one of the world's most accomplished and fastest-rising acts in the Celtic genre," on March 11, and Kila, called "the future of Irish music" by Hot Press, on March 25.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

A public memorial service for Albert Chretien will be held Saturday in his hometown of Penticton, British Columbia, just north of the Washington border.
Rita Chretien, 56, was found weak but alive on May 6 of last year in the rugged mountains of northeastern Nevada near the Idaho line. She stayed in the van for seven weeks, surviving on trail mix, candy and water from a stream.
But there has been no sign of her 59-year-old husband since he set out on foot in search of help on March 22, 2011, three days after the couple's van got stuck on a muddy road.
Intensive searches turned up no sign of Albert Chretien, and Elko County sheriff's investigators have said they believe he is dead.
"Rita and family have carried on with life and are not relying on finding remains of Albert," said family spokesman Hannah Hyland. "We think that more than ordinary efforts were made to find Albert."
The memorial service was scheduled after family and friends "very reluctantly accepted" several months ago that Albert Chretien could not have survived, added Hyland, a neighbor and close friend of Rita Chretien.
"The service represents closure," she said. "In her heart, Rita realized early on that Albert likely succumbed because of the weather. She has made peace with this."
The Chretiens owned a commercial excavating business and were headed to Las Vegas for a trade show. They left a highway after using their new GPS unit to find the shortest route, and ended up on a remote forest road miles from the nearest town.
Repeated requests to interview Rita Chretien were denied.
While she has been described as a private person who shuns attention, she has accepted invitations to give future motivational talks at a mayoral prayer breakfast in British Columbia and at a large church in Calgary.
Her life revolves around her three sons, five grandchildren, friends and church, Hyland said.
"Rita is peaceful, and thinks, dwells on, focuses on happy things. She remains strong in her faith in the Lord," Hyland said. "She wanted to stay alive for her grandchildren, and whatever purpose God had for her in this life."
The Chretiens had been "sweethearts" since age 15 when they attended the same high school, Hyland said, and she has drawn strength for dealing with her husband's absence from her faith.
"She knows she'll see him again, and survives on hope and the wonderful memories of the life they had together," Hyland said. "Early on she knew he was in God's hands no matter the outcome."
Sheriff's officials remain hopeful a hunter or hiker will stumble on evidence of Albert Chretien. He set out with a cellphone and GPS for Mountain City, a couple of day's journey from the van.
The memorial service begins at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Bethel Church in Penticton.

CH2M Hill, a $6.3 billion consulting, engineering, and construction company, is much better known than its unassuming name would suggest. With nine business groups in 80 countries and counting, the Colorado-based firm is the force behind some of the world's best-known public-works projects. Right now, for example, it is overseeing the construction of London's 2012 Olympic venues, the expansion of the Panama Canal, and several of the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund cleanup sites. CH (as it is often called) is also looking at hundreds of potential projects around the globe, from nuclear remediation work in Japan to new oil-field developments in Iraq.
"I view our company as almost a mutual fund," says CFO Michael Lucki, who joined the company from Ernst & Young last November. "Each business group focuses on a different end-market, with different economic cycles, creating a balanced portfolio." Lucki's E&Y experience has proven helpful, he says, because "at E&Y I had 8 to 12 clients at any given time, and here I have 8 to 12 projects at the same time. But at CH they're all the same fact pattern, so it seems easier."
Which of your business groups are hot right now, and which are lagging?
Our microelectronics and manufacturing businesses that deal with semiconductors and anything to do with photovoltaic flat screens are hot. [CH2M Hill designs and builds manufacturing facilities.] Demand for those have gone through the roof over the last six months. Power [including designing and building power-generation plants] has also taken off dramatically this year. Whereas if you look at the U.S. transportation market [which includes highway, bridge, rail, and airport projects], with the federal deficits and state deficits, and funding and appropriations [still in flux], that business has been very slow the last year.
What are your priorities as a relatively new CFO?
I was brought in to focus on four areas. One is capital structure and obtaining financing as we look at acquisitions. We have a $700 million credit facility with seven banks that we just renewed for five years, and we're also looking at term loans. Clearly, the cost of debt right now is very high; it seems like the banks have forgotten everything they went through three years ago. So we're evaluating all those as to the most effective type of debt we would like to take on if the need arises.
My second focus is acquisitions. Right now, CH is number one in about eight markets, including water, energy, and pipelines. Having a number-one ranking is very important to us, and as other companies consolidate, we could possibly lose some opportunities, so we have a couple of acquisitions in progress and others we're considering. Then, internally, we're continuing a cost-reduction program that we've had under way for a number of years. I'm also trying to split up federal and nonfederal projects for accounting purposes, rather than have a one-size-fits-all model.

Catherine Giudici or Lindsay Yenter: Who Should Win The Bachelor?by Free Britney at .
With The Bachelor season finale set for Monday, March 11 (the Women Tell All special is next week), it all comes down to Catherine Giudici and Lindsay Yenter.
Who will take home Sean Lowe's final rose? The Bachelor spoilers shed some light on that if you want to know. If you don't, well, it's still anyone's guess.
Those two beautiful young women are the last two standing after AshLee Frazier was sent home Monday in perhaps the most shocking elimination yet.
The Women Tell All show basically exists to rehash OMG moments like that, and for insane contestants like Tierra LiCausi to sit in the hot seat.
But really, what we all want to know is who will win, Lindsay or Catherine. Based on Sean's connection with both - and fan reactions - it's very hard to say.
Will Yenter, a 24-year-old substitute teacher and Army brat, re-use her wedding dress from night one? After the past two weeks, she clearly has a shot.
Or will Giudici, a 26-year-old Amazon graphic designer, win out on chemistry and receive Sean's proposal after forging such a bond with him all year?
From what we hear, both Lindsay Yenter and Catherine Giudici attend the final rose ceremony. One is proposed to, one is dumped. Standard Bachelor.
But what is up with the letter Sean gets in the finale promo? Is it from one of the girls? Or AshLee? Sean's mom? We welcome your theories on that.
Most importantly, though, who do you think should receive his final rose? Share your comments below and vote in THG's Bachelor finale poll:

I shared the same ethnicity with Catherine. Also, she shared the same nickname with my daughter. Sean exudes qualities similar to my Caucasian hubby. Interracial marriage can work as it does ours for 30 something years. It's just like eating soup with a fork,
we can't get enough from each other. If he chooses Catherine, best wishes to both of them. They're welcome to check with us for few tips..
Catherine is a college graduate with a Bachelor of Science major in Advertising from University of Washington and works for Amazon. She is smart and not immature. She joined this reality show fto enjoy what it can bring and without expectations. She did not expect Sean to love her, if chosen? She is just an honest, loving and down to earth young woman. No matter who Sean chooses it is really nobody's business. Who are we to judge any of them? They are human beings just like us.The bottom line is who makes Sean happy. It takes hard work, trust, respect and TOTAL COMMITMENT for a loving relationship to work. So whoever he chooses let us just wish them both happiness. Let them live their lives to the fullest.
you guys are serious! losers...LIKE IF YOU DONT WANT ANY OR THEM TO WIN THAN TAKE UR JELOUS ASS AND X OUT OF THIS PAGE AND DONT COMMENT! ok both gurls are ok but i personally luv catherine specically for her personaility, ok u cnt find a gurl who is out going and not so insecure and jus lives life psh!
Catherine for the win. She's a happy spirit, loving & lovable, passionate, intelligent w/ a great sense of humor, driven & family oriented.Her journey w/ Sean is realistic, spontaneous & unrehearsed. What you see is what you get , that"s her, no false pretenses whatsoever..And she is damned smart!
.........EVERY GIRL THAT GOT SENT HOME EARLY! PMMFG! If this guy was such a great catch then why is he having to go on national television to find a mate? Wasn't the internet chatroom and dating tacky enough? Oh yea...I forgot. You don't get paid tens of thousands of dollars to find internet love. There's also no prewritten script that lets gim know who is the winners all along. Reality TV is anything but real.

Slow-cooked onions add moisture and flavor to these lean beef burgers. A quick blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and vinegar makes a perfect tangy, sweet and creamy "special sauce" for this burger. We love the dill relish here, but use sweet relish if you prefer it. Serve with sweet potato fries.

Help was lined up and ready to go before the storm and because of government beauracracy, they were turned away or told to wait until FEMA could prioritize. WHY is that the federal government's job? The local governments and churches know where help is needed! People are starving. Let those who are ready to help, help!November 02 2012 at 5:29 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
OH for God's sake. No one is starving! Everyone was told to have 5 days of food and water for every person in the family. In 1992 Andrew came through and blew Homestead where we live ..apart. Five weeks for electricity Three months for our phone lines and cell towers to be working again. The WORST was the first 5 days. Not having any way to secure your property, no way to cook, no ice to keep all that food refrigerated, quickly NO water. Thank god I did not have the worry of diapers and formula, though we did have animals from dogs cats horses rabbits sand chickens to worry about! FINALLY someone tapped Poppy Bush on the shoulder and told him there was a Cat 5 hurricane that just blew through Homestead, FL. THEN we had national guard soldiers..blocking all our streets, prosecuting the curfews! Helicopters, Humvees, Jeeps, front end loaders, FPL trucks, dump trucks.. It took a year for life to even begin to pretend to be back to normal! Patience.. Hard I know.. but very very necessary or the victims will lose their minds. A hot shower it weight in gold; an hour of generator powered TV to see what the hell was going on in the world; a hot meal that was NOT a MRE (and actually recognizable as 'food') ... several bags of ice to get through until tomorrow; any one of these things become the highlight of days spent in backbreaking labor and the depressing job of scooping your possessions up in shovel loads and placing in trash bags. It takes even longer to not have the panic well up every time the wind blows in a thunder storm, when the palm fronds start swaying, when the rain comes down in sheets... THAT I found takes a lot lot longer. My heart goes out to those who have seen their lives trashed and blown away overnight. I know exactly what they are going through and until it happened to us in Miami.. I had no idea, not really. But for those already criticizing everyone and everything? Shut the **** UP and do something to help!November 02 2012 at 6:21 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
I lost everything I own in Hurricane Marilyn in 1995. But, here in the Virgin Islands most people are insured. Also, there are not nearly so many people. So, aid comes much faster. Also, it is warm, so it seems much worse up there in Staten Island, particularly. I am so sad for the mother who lost her
two children. But, again, down here, we have a curfew when a storm is coming, and no one is allowed out on the streets. I don't know how it works up there, but I am sad that it does not seem as organized as it is here in the Caribbean where we are used to these storms. Here we are stoppped by the police and arrested if we go out after a curfew when a storm is coming. I feel so sick after seeing all the destruction and people suffering in Staten Island, where I visit every summer.
Donna, be more patient. My brother in Boca Raton, Florida was without power for eight days after Hurricane Wilma, along with a damaged roof. And he lives in a suburban neighborhood like you. Hurricane Sandy caused more devastation than Wilma because it hit a more heavily populated area that was less prepared for hurricanes than Florida. I'm sure the power workers are working hard to get power restored, but some areas have greater priority than others, such as hospitals, and, due to a dense population, it may be over two weeks before everyone has their power back, which was the case in Florida after Hurricane Wilma.November 02 2012 at 2:29 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

The 2008 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction goes to the occupant of UCLA's 1939 Club Chair in Holocaust Studies, for the second volume of his seminal history.
Published: Monday, April 07, 2008
UCLA professor of history Saul Friedlander, whose parents died in the Nazi Holocaust, today won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction for the second volume of his seminal work "The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939–1945."
Friedlander, who holds UCLA's 1939 Club Chair in Holocaust Studies, is considered one of the world's premier historians in the field and his book the definitive work on Jews during the rise of the Third Reich.
Last year, he received the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, the Frankfurt Book Fair's top award.
Friedlander grew up in a French monastery in the 1940s, not knowing that his Jewish parents had perished in the Holocaust. When he was 13, a Jesuit priest told him what had happened to the Jews of Europe.
"That changed my whole life," Friedlander said in a 2001 interview. "In a way, my Jewish identity was restored."
See additional coverage in UCLA Magazine Online.

2000 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910436.148359 -115.154404
Neighborhoods: Las Vegas
Good to do once – Going to the observation deck on the top of the Stratosphere is good to do just once to say that you did it. After you see the view of Clark County and the surroundings, it's pretty much a quick dash to your car in the parking lot to go do some cooler stuff in Vegas.
Behemoth Las Vegas landmark offers the highest views of the city and two adrenaline-rush rides. – In Short
The 1,149-foot-tall tower, which houses the tallest free-standing observation deck in the country, rises higher than any other structure in the valley, making it the compass-needle pivot point for the city. Visitors enjoy multiple vantage points: the enclosed observation deck for the faint of heart, the windy outdoor deck-one level for vertigo-inducing views, and the Top of the World Restaurant and lounge for romance.
Weeeee! – The one that shoots you up and the one that takes you out over the side of the tower and spins you around were very fun, exciting, extremely thrilling! I'm like not even impressed by most coasters anymore cuz I'm like immune to extreme thrills. But these two were awesome. I did NOT like the one that was like a coaster it just goes almost vertical and then lets you drop like you are going to slide right off the track and down the side of the building. It was not fun just nerve racking, cheap thrills.
SKIP IT -- HORRIBLE!!! – My wife & I wanted to see "the view" at the Stratosphere during our stay. What a D-U-M-P! We thought we'd get mugged walking through the casino. The place was dirty, the people sketchy, and we literally feared for our lives making our way through the loooooooooooong mall area to go up to the tower. To go up it's $8 a pop. You then walk through a METAL DETECTOR and get frisked by "officers" before you go up. Then the view is ... ho-hum. SKIP THIS ONE, and opt for Paris LV's Eiffel Tower View -- 1000X better!
Don't go during the day... – First of all they charge just to go to the lookout deck but they do give you a coupon for a free drink, there is no proper bar it's just a little snack stand with pre-made daquiries and beer. If you go during the day you'll see Vegas as it really is stark, flat and lots of large, cold buildings that stand out like sore thumbs in the landscape. The best part is the 360 degree view of the mountains. At least at night you get the lights. Unlike other towers and panarama views I've been to there are no museum or touristy type things inside to explain anything or give more bang to your buck just some badly drawn maps on the walls. The rides were closed for winter, and they make you take one of those pictures they try to sell to you afterward.
Hee Haw! We're in Vegas! – This is must miss! Go only if you're in the mood for a taste of the truly "local" Las Vegas experience, i.e. trailer trash! They make you wander through a ghost-town of a mall of refrigerator magnet stores staffed by toothless, mutant locals to get to the elevators, then nobody has the intelligence or courtesy to tell you where to go to get to the top. Waitress couldn't be bothered to tell me what type of red wine they have ("That's not my job!" was her response.) We ordered right from the bartender; no tip for her. Go to the Eiffel tower or Rio if you want a view. Leave this attraction to Homer Simpson.
Big Shot high roller...!!!!! – Didn't get to ride the roller coaster (high roller) but the big shot was AWESOME. Not really scary unless you really don't like heights. But it does give a great view of Vegas up there. It is just attitude at altitude.
The Air up there!! – I can't begin to explain the rush that over comes you when you get to the top. The view is undescrible. Everytime we come to vegas we have to take the tip to the end of the strip to go over the strip. You can see everything West of the Mississippi! Okay maybe I'm over doing it. But the view is WONDERFULL. The rides are great. The BIG shot is definatley worth it. The roller coster I would leave for the kids
Cool View – Okay, although the line and elevator ride up to the top of the Stratosphere was horrific......the elevator and entranceway smelled like cheese and urine....it was worth it at the top...beautiful view of the city and all the lights in Las Vegas...can get very windy though....
Great Bargain – I had been shopping around for a nice room for a little romantic getaway for me and my husband. After finding the kind of room I wanted for no less than $350 a night at every other hotel, a friend recommended that I call the Stratosphere. I got a Jacuzzi suite for the weekend at $150 a night. Yes, it's all the way at the end of the Strip, but who cares? Many of the hotel rooms have just been updated and redecorated so none of the garish purple and golds are there anymore. The staff was courteous and prompt and our room was wonderful.

Heidi Klum, I love you. I really do. "Project Runway" has been a stylish, dependable friend these past few years. But ever since I heard about the premise of "Fashion Star," I've been anxiously awaiting this feat of instant gratification. In each episode, buyers from Saks, Macy's, and H&M bid on contestants' designs, which will then be available in stores THE NEXT DAY. The designers are challenged with making wearable clothes (blazers, jeans, cocktail dresses), not art pieces. And while there will surely be flame-throwing personalities on display (this is reality TV, after all), the purpose is also a peak inside the real business of fashion. We stopped by the premiere party at Macy's to talk to the buyers and designers, as well as host and executive producer Elle Macpherson and mentors Nicole Richie and John Varvatos (Jessica Simpson was too pregnant to make the East coast fete.) See what they think makes "Fashion Star" shine and let us know if you agree.

Best of Toronto
The Best Juice Bars in Toronto
The best juice bars in Toronto offer the respite your stomach (and nerves) need from that four-espresso-a-day habit. Or is that just me? In any case, you can always tell a great juice bar by the abundance of ingredients on its counters, with bright yellow bananas and carrots galore inviting you to put down that Americano and try something a little more colourful. Fresh fruits and veggies are key, and these Toronto juice bars would press nothing less.
Here is the list of the best juice bars in Toronto.
Juice Box
Proof that looks aren't everything, especially when it comes to juice bars. Fast-walkers are likely to miss this Church and Wellesley stronghold, though it presses out some of the finest juices this side of, uh, Church. You won't find too many fancy options here, just a solid roster of fruit and vegetables juices, along with consistently delicious smoothies and protein shakes. More »
Fresh Restaurant
All of the Fresh restaurants around Toronto offer an impressive list of juices and smoothies, each one paired with an apt and creative name (someone was obviously on wheatgrass when they wrote this drink menu.) In any case, I don't think it's the nostalgia that keeps the "Yellow Brick Road" smoothie on people's lips. Fresh's juices are always fresh (fancy that!), unique, and well-balanced. More »
Sunshine Wholesome Market
Good for a plain ol' glass of sunshine, or something a little more dynamic such as an "Eye Opener," and mix of ginger, orange, carrot, apple, and ginseng. Sunshine Wholesome Market is notable for its exclusive use of certified organic ingredients, along with the fact that it just so happens to be attached to a grocery store. This juice bar offers a good mix of pre-determined concoctions, as well as an easy create-your-own option. More »
Juicy Hut
If you can handle the mayhem that is the Downsview Park Merchant's Market, Juicy Hut offers rewards in the forms of fresh cane juice and low prices. A labour of love for juice bar owner John Huynh, who regularly mans his Juicy Hut stand slinging out fresh cups of soursop and pineapple. Lots of refreshing fruit, vegetable, and smoothie options. More »
Romeo's Juice Bar
Brings new meaning to the word "local." This juice bar doubles as a fruit and vegetable wholesaler, meaning you can buy your fresh kale, bananas, and strawberries here, and drink them here too. You certainly can taste the difference of direct-from-the-terminal, with superb juice blend options such as the ever-popular basil pear, and the nutrient-packed "Romeo's Wake-Up" juice. More »
Ghazi Juice
Another spot that doesn't exactly win in terms of aesthetics, but Ghazi Juice knows have to make greens disappear in a healthy blend. The juices here are pretty well-priced (look out for student specials) and serve as an easy call for after a show at the Bloor. When in doubt, can't go wrong with Ghazi's $2.99 freshly squeezed orange juice. More »
Cruda Cafe
With its own juice cleanse program and everything, this juice bar and raw café can be found on the lower level of the St. Lawrence market, where ginger, lemon, and plenty of fruits and fresh greens are blended in abundance to create Cruda's signature smoothies and juices. And if you happen to catch owner Claudia Gaviria, do ask for her recommendation. More »
Sadie's Juice Bar
Vegan ice cream and carrot apple juice; Sadie's serves up the best of guilt-free indulgence. As the first juice bar (at least by name) to arrive on the Kensington Market scene, Sadie's is still reaping the recall benefits, albeit, with good reason. Super smoothies, great juices, and plenty of snacks to pair alongside. More »
The Big Carrot Organic Juice Bar
Juice and organic produce shopping; the best way to never shop hungry (thirsty?) again. True to its name, The Big Carrot Organic Juice Bar sticks to organic ingredients, tossing in protein boosts, superfoods, and other add-ins at customers' requests. Don't forget about those delicious vegan milkshakes. More »
Its most popular juice is also its namesake, with the kale, apple, lemon combo leading the pack at this organic juice bar. You won't find too many outrageous ingredient options here, but rather a standard set of fresh fruits and veggies that can be mixed and matched to create your own drink. Add matcha powder and protein for smoothies for a little extra punch. More »
Circus Coffee House
Nevermind the name. Circus Coffee House makes some seriously delicious juices and smoothies. Prices are quite good compared to some of Toronto's other juice bars, with nothing lost in terms of the quality, freshness, or taste of these fine juices. Not every juicer offers garlic among his ingredients, but Circus owner Ron Duff knows its power. More »

Romeo's is awesome. Had one of these a month or so ago, and then went down to Fresh for one of theirs, and yeah, Romeo's was definitely the winner!
Crazy busy there sometimes , though.

Mercedes-Benz C230 Problems and Repairs
jamiem4 Posts: 23
We recently purchased a basic C-230 (not Kompressor). After approximately 5,000 miles we noticed blue smoke from the exhaust upon ignition. We also realized from then on our car runs similarly to a diesel truck, a freight train (including all the vibrations), or dirtbike. We only use the most premium Shell or Amaco gasoline, and even purchase the highest grade fuel from varying gas stations to make sure an additive, etc isn't contributing to the rumbling and smoke. The Leith Raleigh service department told us a variety of excuses for the problem ranging from the 'head gaskets' aren't sealed the first 10k miles to the blue smoke is really 'steam' coming out of the exhaust after the car sits all night. They also warned us against using Shell gasoline (which we don't anyway). We are just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what the possible REAL causes might be. Please help!!! Thanks!!!!
muttbenz Posts: 2My 06 c230 sport has intermittent clacking noises accelerating in 2nd and 3rd gears. The Leith Raleigh mechanic wrote that I should buy better gas. Since I only use premium I asked exactly what better gas he recommends. They followed that up with a suggestion that I use a gas additive for three tanks. That did not help. Leith did a repair that fixed an a/c problem, which in turn seemed to solve the engine clatter. Now five months later the engine is clattering again and I'm on my third bottle of gas additive before giving it back to Leith again. Maybe the smaller six cylinder is inferior?
ray_h1 Posts: 1,134There's nothing at all "inferior" about Mercedes 2.5L all-aluminum V6 engines. The same can't be said about some dealership service departments, though. If the "clacking" sounds similar to what you'd imagine hearing when shaking a can containing several ball bearings, that's what's commonly referred to as "pinging" (technically, "pre-detonation") - VERY unusual for a Mercedes operating on 91 pump octane premium unleaded gasoline. Do you primarily purchase your gas from the same station? If so, you might try a different brand on the off chance your usual station is contracting with an independent wildcat tanker driver for fuel delivery - in some cases all the way from Mexico. If that admittedly unlikely scenario isn't the cause, I'd be looking to take the car to a different dealership. There could definitely be several mechanical possibilities for the pinging (which, by the way can do damage over the long term - best to have this problem attended to properly). If your current dealer isn't taking your car's problem seriously, keep in mind that you're not co-joined at the hip to that dealership's service department - nor are all dealerships created equal, either. A good sales department will close a car sale. A good service department keeps owners satisfied and coming back indefinitely.
rdf63 Posts: 4I am having problems removing the two front tires from a 2000 C230. After visiting a tire store, they stated that the Lug nuts are too rusted to remove. Does anybody have any suggestions to solving this problem and/or have you had a similar problem with the rusted Lug nuts.
stocks3019 Posts: 2The driver power seat (which enables the seat cushion to go up and down and driver's chair forward and back) is not working. The passenger's power seat works just fine. My 2004 C240 4Matic has 66,700 miles and just went in for service 3 days ago to change the voltage regulator and battery. However, the driver's power seat worked just fine when I got it back.
Does anyone think it might be the fuse (which is located in a compartment on the left side of the dashboard)? Should I first try changing the fuse, and then the motor?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
cherden Posts: 1Have a new c230 sport, 1600 miles, and it left me sitting. Turn the key all the lights come on, but will not start. Also started and the tranny locked out. Couldn't move. Started doing this 3 weeks ago. Has been at the dealer for 4 days, they have no idea, think it is a command error. Going to try the esp module, well see.
trina7612 Posts: 1had anyone else had issues with your sound system? its been driving me nuts...after the first week my 6 disc wouldn't open then my reception was terrible on my FM radio..then my left speaker sounded busted...then my system would play and i could navigate through the system but no audio would come out....its about ym 8th week with the 2007 c230 and maybe been drivin it for about 3 weeks total becuase its been in service so much! they finally replaced my head unit and some speakers...it sounds a better...i guess.. im just tired of dealing with it.... HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ISSUES WITH THIER SOUND SYSTEM?
It would sound like your engine chatter was directly related to you a/c problem. The only moving a/c part would have to be your compressor / clutch assembly. It is quite possible that your a/c clutch is defective. You may want to consult another dealer with a specific direction of repair in mind.
Try spraying them a couple times a day with a rust removing product, (ie. WD40) for several days or longer. Then you can try removing them once again. If you have aluminum rims, they will react with the metal bolts. You may want to coat the bolts with a grease before re-installing them.
mrum Posts: 7I got my 2007 C230 in November. My ABS light came on and I took it to the dealer to be fixed. I ended up taking it in 5 different times for the same problem in less than a month. I kept complaining to the dealer, but what I had to do was call Mercedes corporate. They were great and I am in the process of having them buy back my car. Just wanted to let you know that if you have a lot of problems, call Mercedes Corporate to see what they can do for you.
donb13 Posts: 4The fuel gage on my 1998 C230 is stuck on full. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on fixing this? It started after I filled up with gas. At first it register on empthy and the light came on that I was running on reserve. I shut off the engine then loosened the fuel cap. It went up to full and it has stayed there.
merthedesbenz Posts: 4Mercedes Benz C230: On the driver side front corner has been hit and pushed in breaking the headlight damaging the bumper guard pushing the front quarter panel off and bending down the hood unnoticable to the human eye unless you tried to fit a new headlight assembly in there. The damage is extensive enough to be quoted at $4000. I have looked at family and friends in helping out but only so much can be done and parts are not cheap. This is the problem, if I am to fix the accident, the value to fix is about the value of the car. In stating that I am burning $4000 on a car that essentially could last me another two years or take that and put a lump sum down on another car. How am I to gain the most value out of this vehicle without extensively putting alot into it?

16th Judicial Circuit elects first female chief judge
By Matt Hanley firstname.lastname@example.com November 2, 2012 9:20AM
16th Circuit Chief Judge Judith Brawka
Updated: December 5, 2012 6:27AM
Judith Brawka has been elected the new chief judge in the 16th Judicial Circuit — the first woman to ever hold the position.
Brawka, 57, of Aurora Township, begins her term on Monday and will serve the remainder of the two-year term of Robert Spence, who has been named to the Appellate Court. Brawka was elected to the position by other judges in the 16th Judicial Circuit.
The chief judge makes judicial assignments, helps write circuit rules and is the voice of the judiciary to the county board, among other duties.
"Being chief judge in any circuit is an honor because it demonstrates you have the confidence of your fellow judges to take on the administrative tasks that the job involves," Brawka said Friday.
Right now, Kane, Kendall and DeKalb counties are in the 16th Circuit. Gov. Pat Quinn approved splitting Kane County off into its own circuit and putting Kendall and DeKalb into the new 23rd Circuit, starting in December.
Brawka was born in Oak Park and grew up in Bloomingdale. She graduated from DePaul University in 1975 and Northwestern Law School in 1978. She started with the Kane County Public Defender's Office in 1978 and was Kane County's public defender from 1986 until she became a judge.
Brawka was appointed as an associate judge in 1991, then elected as a circuit judge in 2002. She has worked in all divisions of the civil and criminal courts, including the juvenile division. (Associate judges are appointed to four-year terms and, unlike circuit judges, do not participate in voting on issues in the circuit, including electing a chief judge, local criminal code rules and civil court procedures.) Brawka has been the presiding judge in the civil division since 2009.
When she was public defender, Brawka enjoyed administrative parts of the job and is looking forward to that work as chief judge.
"I really liked that process," she said. "I enjoyed working the budget. I enjoyed working with the county board."
Brawka said one of her first goals will be to help set up a foreclosure mediation program, which is awaiting approval from the Illinois Supreme Court. The program will give homeowners more of a voice in the foreclosure process and keep the process on track for lenders.
Brawka said she was honored to be the first female chief judge because it marks a distinct change from when she started practicing law.
"You were always pointed out because there was so few women," she said. "It has changed so tremendously."
When Brawka was appointed as judge, she was only the second female in the circuit.
"It's exciting because we have many more women on the bench right now," she said. "It's exciting to be able to be a part of that, not because I'm a woman, and not despite being a woman, but I hope because my fellow judges made the decision on merit."
Brawka's election is one of several significant changes in the 16th Circuit. Longtime Judges Allen Anderson, Robert Janes and Tim Sheldon all recently announced their retirement. For several years, Anderson and Sheldon have taken on some of the county's most complex and high-profile felony cases. Janes has presided over many different courtrooms and currently serves in the family court.
On Friday, Aurora attorney Rene Cruz and former Kane County Assistant State's Attorney Christine Downs were named as finalists to fill Janes' open seat. The circuit judges elect associate judges. A selection is expected soon, according to a press release from the 16th Circuit.

Call to fight 140 homes being built in Menston
8:00am Thursday 26th December 2013 in Local news By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
An action group fighting large-scale housing developments in Menston has begun a fresh battle against plans for more than 140 new homes.
Menston Action Group (MAG) is calling on its supporters to "act now" against two planning applications to build a total of 146 houses on land off Bingley Road.
Developer Taylor Wimpey already has outline planning permission to build up to 135 new houses on Bingley Road, but has now submitted a detailed planning application for 134 homes.
And another developer, Chartford Homes, has submitted a planning application to Bradford Council for 12 houses on a field to the north east of the Bingley Road site.
MAG, which also opposed now-approved plans for 173 houses on Derry Hill, is contesting assessments of flooding risk and drainage in the two planning applications.
The group said: "Two new planning applications have recently been made for the Bingley Road fields, which we must act on now to protect our village roads from further congestion, our local secondary schools from overcrowding, and our sewers from overflowing and flooding."
MAG claims the developments on Bingley Road and Derry Hill would destroy the character of the village, lead to more flooding and increased sewerage flowing down the street, according to expert evidence it has sought. It is urging residents to visit Bradford Council's planning website and make their comments, or write to the council's planning department.
In its latest newsletter, MAG says MP Philip Davies has asked for an adjournment debate in the House of Commons over Bradford Council's handling of the planning process with the previous applications.
The group is continuing to keep an eye on the development of the Bradford Districts Local Plan. The most recent housing target for the village has dropped from 900 to 400 homes.
This was set out in the draft Core Strategy, the central part of the proposed Local Plan, which is due to go out to public consultation in the coming weeks.
