Bill for parking charges at Starved Rock, useless within the water: By

The invoice for parking charges at Starved Rock State Park died within the Illinois Senate Thursday, by one vote. SB1310, sponsored by Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris), would have allowed the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to have parking charges at Starved Rock SP, essentially the most visited park in Illinois. Part of the explanation for it dying–the exclussion of LaSalle County residents from paying–is legit. But I feel we have to have a broader-based dialogue on park charges and hammer it out as a state-wide difficulty, not only for Starved Rock SP.

Yard Goats Batter Goes Down ‘Swinging’ On Worst Strikeout You’ll Ever See

Figuring a timeout was called and the play was dead, Fuentes offered a similarly half-hearted swing as a joke. Alas, timeout was not called. The umpire never blew the play dead, meaning that Fuentes had swung at strike three — a pitch that hit the grass about 50 feet away. The catcher

Snap shot: Turkey come back from the dead

Write off Turkey at your peril became a mantra at UEFA EURO 2008. Time and again Fatih Terim's team were left for dead, only to emerge alive and kicking. They came from behind to beat Switzerland in the last minute, then recovered from 2-0 down in the last quarter of an hour to stun the Czech Republic in their third match (anything less and they were out).Incredibly, their quarter-final against Croatia eclipsed all that had come before. With one minute of extra time left Ivan Klasnić finally broke the deadlock and that looked to be it. Not at all. Semih Şentürk drove in a 122nd-minute equaliser and in the shoot-out 35-year-old goalkeeper Rüştü Reçber clinched it. Turkey had ...
