Mark Kirk endorses no one in the GOP governor’s race and says the Republican Party needs more moderate candidates. The Tribune Company cuts 240 jobs. And in sports -- new injuries for both Jay Cutler and Derrick Rose. And Northern Illinois University remains undefeated, strengthening its case for a major bowl bid.
