GOP congressional candidate Arthur Jones, 71, once again collected enough signatures from Cook County and southwest Chicago suburbs to appear on the ballot for next year’s election.

Jones pulled in 20,681 votes in order to grab the Republican primary nomination in 2018 and he went on to receive 57,885 votes in the Illinois House general election against Democrat Daniel Lipinski....

Why dispose of everything you own? I see it as an examination of consumerism. What prompted you to do it? The collapse of communism. Capitalism and communism were foes, but they balanced each other, whereas now it just seems to be unbridled consumption. My project is about exposing that and about exposing me. What has been the hardest thing to get rid of? My dad’s sheepskin coat. [But] the most disturbing things are the photographs–they’re memories and suddenly you see them in a tray and they’ve been torn up....

On Wednesday night, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Ime Udoka was facing a “significant suspension” after he violated organizational guidelines.

Here is everything we currently know about Udoka’s situation, including how the Celtics and Udoka have addressed the suspension. What did Ime Udoka do? The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported early Thursday that Udoka had an “improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff....

According to a Pew report released on Wednesday, more than 23 million U.S. immigrants will be eligible to vote in November, comprising roughly 10 percent of the nation’s total electorate. The number, which was estimated based on Census Bureau data, marks a record high, representing a steady increase over the past 20 years, with numbers up 93 percent since 2000. According to Pew, the U.S.-born eligible voter population has grown much more slowly in comparison since 2000, with those numbers growing by just 23 percent over the same time frame from 181 million eligible voters in 2000 to 238 million in 2020....

In case you didn’t know… Matt Sydal spent the early years of his career in the independent circuit before signing with WWE in 2008. He joined the ECW brand under the name Evan Bourne and then the Raw roster where he had a pretty good run until 2014. He returned to Impact Wrestling last April and defeated Trevor Lee. The heart of the matter According to the fans who were present at the Impact Wrestling Tapings, Matt Sydal defeated Taiji Ishimori in a spectacular bout that will air on Pop TV in the upcoming weeks....

Atlanta: Adreian Payne. On a team filled with versatile big men, Payne is sure to fit right in. Similar to Pero Antic and Paul Millsap, he can stretch the floor with shooting or attack from the post. Boston: Marcus Smart. The Celtics are stacked with defensive-minded guards, and Smart fits the mold. Smart needs to improve as an outside shooter, but he will make an immediate impact on Boston’s defense....

Ending a two-month layoff, Tomic won just 13 points and lost to Jarkko Nieminen 6-0, 6-1. It was the quickest match since the ATP started keeping such records in 1991. Nieminen lost only three points in seven service games. The first set took just 13 minutes; the second was only slightly more competitive. "I felt like I did the best as I could, and I'm happy that I'm coming back," Tomic said....

Football is a low-scoring game, which more than triples the euphoria when the famous round object hits the target and the net bulges. It is the cherry on the icing of skill, technique, high-level show booting, heroic defending, dark arts, meticulous planning and tactical genius. Yet, it is the scarcity, abundance and ability to create goals with staggering consistency, that often characterizes the reputation of a 21st-century centre-forward. As such, it is no coincidence that the mention of Cristiano Ronaldo conjures but one image - goals...

The five days came in early July 2013, with Exum playing for the Australian U-19 national team. He was already considered a prospect of some promise, but in a stretch of four games, he ascended to the elite of the NBA Draft class. First, it was 20 points to beat Russia. Then, it was 33 points with four assists to get past Spain. Another 21 points in a tight loss to Serbia, and 28 points with five assists in an overtime loss in the bronze medal game against Lithuania....

While Batman has bat in his name, he’s human and not an actual bat, which excludes him from this list. That’s also why Dracula from the Castlevania franchise makes no appearance. However, tons of bats can be found in the video game world, some cute and others monstrous. 5 Minecraft The bats from Minecraft are a flying passive mob and one of the few bats in gaming that aren’t enemies that attack players....

Before the 1974 FIFA World Cup, one name resonated all over the football universe- Pele. His immaculate footwork and trademark Brazilian celebrations left the fans dazzled. However, since his retirement in 1971, they were indeed ready to be dazzled once again. Their prayers were answered. Thus, the 1974 FIFA World Cup was responsible for introducing the world to Johan Cruyff. The Dutch were given a chance at glory in the 1974 World Cup final and a chance at redemption in the 1978 World Cup final....

Just as Horne did, way back when, Thomas pulled a phone out from the padding of the goal post after scoring a TD, this one an outcome-sealing 72-yarder that made Los Angeles cornerback Marcus Peters look pretty bad in the fourth quarter of the Saints’ rollicking 45-35 victory over the previously unbeaten Rams. “Giving people a show,” Thomas said. He was referring to his tribute to Horne, but he could have been talking about his entire performance Sunday — 12 catches for a franchise-record and NFL-season-high 211 yards — or the game as a whole....

The National Weather Service office in New York declared its first-ever set of flash flood emergencies in the region Wednesday night, an alert reserved for “exceedingly rare situations when a severe threat to human life and catastrophic damage from a flash flood is happening or will happen soon.” There are several casualties reported as rescue and recovery operations continue in flooded towns throughout the Northeast. The death toll expected to increase throughout Thursday and into the weekend as the scale of the destruction becomes clear....

Little was third GOP governor to ban the so-called passports at the state level. Last Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis became the first to block the passports, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordering a ban on Monday. President Joe Biden has made it clear that the federal government has no plans to issue or endorse vaccine passports, although some states and private industries have moved towards adopting them. “Idahoans should be given the choice to receive the vaccine,” Little said in a statement....

The school announced that the NCAA has lifted its APR ban on Tuesday. The penalty was issued due to below-NCAA mandated scores from 2010-2012. It also included a four-hour reduction of practice time for the team last year. The team will likely benefit from the hours of practice, as it finished 1-10 in 2014. Since 2010, Idaho is 11-49.
