“Richard Irvin is the best person to lead our state in this election cycle,” Griffin said. “This is not just about beating J.B. This is about having a person in office who is going to put the people of our state first, who is going to be willing to make the tough calls that need to be made to end the senseless violence that’s been gripping our state, that we put our state on a path of fiscal sustainability, and that we make Illinois a place that firms like Citadel can proudly recruit talent to and build businesses within.”
Adrian presided over a three-day bench trial in which Clinton was accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a graduation party in Quincy in May. After originally finding Clinton guilty on one count of criminal sexual assault in October, Adrian threw out the conviction last month when Clinton appeared for sentencing, saying there had been “plenty of punishment” and that he wouldn’t impose the mandatory minimum sentence of four years in prison.
About 40 minutes before kickoff, the Rams and Bengals lined the end zones and looked up at the big screen while outside, next to SoFi Stadium’s lake, gospel duo Mary Mary and the LA Phil’s Youth Orchestra Los Angeles performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a song that’s known as the unofficial Black national anthem.
That’s a great question. The group of wide receivers coming out of contract isn’t super deep. Davante Adams is the best by far, but the Green Bay Packers can secure him with the franchise tag. After that you’re looking at Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin (who suffered a torn ACL and MCL in December), Mike Williams, Will Fuller, Jamison Crowder, JuJu Smith-Schuster, T.Y. Hilton and Christian Kirk. Williams is interesting to me. He has good size at 6-foot-4, 218 pounds and is coming off a season in which he caught 76 passes for 1,146 yards with nine touchdowns. He figures to be one of the hottest targets in free agency and has indicated he’d like to stay with the Los Angeles Chargers.

On Monday, more than 22 years later, another active member of the City Council, 11th Ward Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson, will be in a similar position as Giles, with the fate of his political career — and perhaps his freedom — in the hands of a federal jury.
Miss: Matthew McConaughey in “The New Frontier,” Salesforce. “It’s not time to escape. It’s time to engage,” McConaughey tells us, floating high above mere mortals in a magical hot air balloon symbolizing the software org focused on customer relationship management that will somehow focus our attention on what the planet needs, and maximize our awareness of the environment. I had to look up what Salesforce was, because I am dumb, and I am not Salesforce’s sales target. Still, I wonder if analytics nerds got much out of the spot, either.
Dr. Patrick McCarthy, executive director of the Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, chats with patient Scott Krukoff, 59, of Naperville, three days after Krukoff’s open heart surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s Galter Pavilion in Chicago on Feb. 11, 2022. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is opening a new heart hospital within its walls, with $45 million donated by casino magnate Neil Bluhm and his family’s charitable foundation. The money will allow Northwestern to increase its number of beds for cardiovascular patients in need of overnight care from about 85 to 140. (Jose M. Osorio / Chicago Tribune)
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled after a hastily arranged hearing that lasted into early Monday morning that the 15-year-old Valieva, the favorite for the women’s individual gold, does not need to be provisionally suspended ahead of a full investigation.
I do her shopping, medications, appointments, finances, and home repairs. They help out some, but I’ve joked that should I drop dead, they’d all be in trouble. They make no effort to learn how to do these tasks. Why should they? They have me to do them.
