Even if you've never heard of The Smile, you're probably familiar with another band two of its members founded: Radiohead. Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood formed The Smile with jazz drummer Tom Skinner during the COVID-19 lockdowns and then debuted at a surprise live-streamed show in 2021. The Smile sounds like a stripped-down version of Radiohead, for sure, but its songs have a lot of layers for a three piece comprised of drums, bass and guitar.

ALTON - At just five-foot-four-inches, many coaches told Marquette Catholic senior Haley Rodgers that she wasn't going to make it out on the basketball court. She wanted to prove them all wrong and that's exactly what she did. After being in talks with a college coach for about a year she made the decision to continue her basketball career at Greenville University. She signed her letter of intent Wednesday afternoon fulfilling a dream that she's had for many years now. "I went to a college game with my dad, it was actually a Lewis and Clark game, and it's just been my dream ever since to play in college," Rodgers said. She certainly wasn't going to let her size get in her way. "I started basketball in sixth grade, I've always been small," Rodgers said. "I've had a few coaches tell me that I can't do it because of my height and size but I'm happy to say I've made my dream come true." For overcoming the odds, Haley Rodgers is a Tucker's Automotive Repair & Tire Female Athlete

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is currently accepting applications for the 2023 DCFS Scholarship Program. Through the program, a minimum of 53 academic scholarships will be awarded to current and former youth in care for the upcoming school year, with four awards reserved for the children of veterans. Scholarship recipients receive up to five consecutive years of tuition and academic fee waivers to be used at participating Illinois state community colleges and public universities, a monthly grant of $1,506 to offset other expenses and a medical card. On average, the department receives 200 application packets each year, and has awarded over 1,500 scholarships since the program began in 1971. “Students who have been involved in the foster care system face a unique set of challenges from a young age that often set them at a disadvantage when it comes to funding their education,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “The DCFS Scholarship

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today introduced the Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act to strengthen elementary and secondary school procedures for preventing, identifying, and treating student-athletes who sustain concussions. While athletics are important to helping students learn team-building skills and connect with their peers, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, participating in school sports is not without risk. The National Federation of State High School Associations estimates that about 140,000 students playing high school sports suffer concussions every year, though many go unreported. Despite potential long-term impacts, concussions are not always easily diagnosed, and symptoms do not always manifest themselves immediately. Durbin’s bill requires states to adopt a “when in doubt, sit it out” policy, which prevents student athletes suspected of having sustained a concussion from returning to play
