In rural southern Illinois, a cattle farmer fights back against an emerging threat from above

In daylight they move in low, slow circles above the country roads and the cattle farms in rural southern Illinois, outsiders in a continuous migration. They do not fly as much as they glide, at least not while they prey, and when they circle they are searching. Roadkill makes for an easy meal. So do newborn cows, much to the anguish of farmers. For a long time black vultures never settled so far north.

| Belleville News-Democrat Verified
One of the enduring quirks, among many, about U-46 girls lacrosse is that it's a team with no name. Its players are from all over Illinois' second-largest school district, spread throughout Chicago's northwest suburbs, and as a co-op team it is without a mascot. They are not the Eagles or Wildcats, or any other animal or army (Knights! Warriors!) ubiquitous in high school athletics. And so when the girls of U-46 break a huddle, forgive the limitation of their rallying cry.

INDIANAPOLIS - The last time Illinois reached the Final Four, in 2005, the Illini's best-known fan showed up to the national semifinals looking dapper. Bill Murray, an ardent Chicago and Illinois sports enthusiast, longtime bon vivant, a man of many talents and many roles, had that going for him. Which was nice. He donned a rumpled but refined plaid sport coat over a pale orange vest and a brighter orange - Illinois orange - tie, replete with an orange Champaign Country Club hat.
