ALTON - If there’s anything Marquette Catholic running back Alex McCloud could do differently about his game in the season opener against Civic Memorial, it’s play more. McCloud, a junior running back for Eric Dickerson’s Explorer ball club, made his presence felt offensively when he was on the field. But as was apparent at high school games all across the region, the unforgiving heat led to cramping for McCloud, who had to sit out some game time. “Big time,” Alex McCloud said, when asked if the heat played a factor in Friday’s game. “It was annoying when I was cramping,” said McCloud after the game, a 42-16 loss for his Explorers. “When I was cramping I couldn’t be in the game, but when I was in the game I had a blast.” While not an ideal result for Marquette, Alex McCloud scored a late rushing touchdown to bring the score a bit closer. A 16-yard rush where McCloud broke tackles and made CM defenders miss on his
CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced the resolution of a multistate federal lawsuit resulting from the final adoption of a robust Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule to protect worker safety. The new rule, which strengthens public reporting of workplace health and safety information, will go into effect in January 2024. As a result, Raoul and the states have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to dismiss the case. “Having sound data on workplace injuries allows employers to improve safety, which benefits everyone,” Raoul said. “Employees deserve safe working environments. Having better information about potential hazards could also reduce employers’ costs in defending against workers’ compensation claims and potentially prevent costs from being passed on to consumers.” On-the-job injuries and illnesses remain unacceptably high, with American workers experiencing more than 3 million serious
EDWARDSVILLE - Celebrate the Grand Finale: Edwardsville Municipal Band Concludes Summer Season with "Encore" Concert on Thursday night. The Edwardsville Municipal Band is set to dazzle audiences with their final Thursday evening performance at the Cleaon Etzkorn bandstand in City Park on Thursday, August 31 at 8 p.m. (rescheduled due to excessive heat last week). Under the baton of co-conductor, Dr. Rubén Darío Gómez, the Edwardsville Municipal Band will present its theme, fittingly entitled "Encore." Programming concerts is one of the most challenging tasks for conductors and usually, in groups like the EMB and other symphonic ensembles, it is almost exclusively the conductor's job. However, for this program, the players of the EMB were asked to suggest pieces they would like to perform. The band will play favorites such as “Bugler’s Holiday,” “Shenandoah,” “The Wizard of Oz,” and the always popular “Stars and Stripe
The litigation that broke out over allegations of cheating at St. Louis' Sinquefield Cup has been resolved โ and with the settlement, accused cheater Hans Niemann has been reinstated at Chess.com.

CHICAGO – U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and U.S. Representative Eric Sorensen (D-IL-17) today released the following statement regarding the decision by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to permanently convert United States Penitentiary (USP) Thomson into a low-security prison while ensuring that all current Thomson employees will be retained: “We welcome today’s announcement by BOP Director Peters that USP Thomson will be permanently converted to a low-security facility. This change is a decisive effort to address the many challenges the institution has faced in recent years, while relieving some of the overpopulation pressures BOP is experiencing in low-security facilities nationwide. “While we’re disappointed that this conversion will lead to a reduction in the number of full-time staff positions, we’re relieved that the facility will retain all o

For decades, union members have paraded through St. Louis on Labor Day. This year, for the first time, they celebrated the weekend prior with a festival in Florissant.
DOW - This weekend, the Tri-County Antique Club’s 32nd annual “Olden Days” festival celebrated local agriculture with tractor pulls, a car show and more. The festival was set for Aug. 26 and 27, but was canceled on Saturday due to inclement weather. Sunday, Aug. 27 went on as planned with vendors, fair food and music by Jim On The Keyboard. Antique cars were lined up alongside antique tractors. The festival was an homage to the club’s mission statement, including their goal “to promote the appreciation of agricultural history, through the restoration and preservation of antique, vintage and classic automobiles, gasoline and oil engines, gas and steam tractors, farm machinery and other equipment of historical value.” To that end, they encouraged people to sign up for the car show or to display their vintage tractors. One man brought out his 1955 Ford 860 tractor, and he noted that it runs as well as ever with a rebuilt carburetor and looks eve

For years, the UK government has sought to expand its surveillance powers. And, for years, it has rarely been prevented from doing so. Sure, there’s been a bunch of bureaucratic inactivity and unforced errors (like Brexit) that make it a bit more difficult to push legislation through, but the UK government’s thirst for more power […]
Some of you have noticed that 40 South is back, and it’s changed. It went away in the first place because it’s based on a WordPress theme, and apparently these themes have a lifespan. 40 South’s was going on 10 years, which is pretty old in WordPress years, I’ve learned. The good news is that […]
