A grey and white dog had been hit by a car when it was found on the side of Interstate 95 at Exit 10 in Miami-Dade County. By its side was a brown dog, using its body to protect its injured brother. Road rangers could barely even get to him. “Whoever hit him did not stop, and then Grover, the brown one, just stayed by his side,” said Leslie Fernandez, with Interstate Partners for Animal Welfare. Miami-Dade Animal Services arrived to pick up the hurt dog, named Zorro. “The picture of them together on I-95 — the fact that one…
As the World Economic Forum’s annual gabfest got into full swing Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump gave everybody something to talk about with his actions on his first day back in office. Energy industry executives could consider Trump’s vow to “drill, baby, drill.” Foreign leaders deciphered what he meant by his wish to expand U.S. territory. Trade advocates digested the unveiling of his “External Revenue Service” to collect tariffs and duties — a concern for many business leaders at the elite gathering. From the earliest speeches, panel discussions and back-channel meetings in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos, Trump’s executive…
U.S. President Donald Trump used one of the flurry of executive actions that he issued on his first day back in the White House to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization for the second time in less than five years — a move many scientists fear could roll back decadeslong gains made in fighting diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Experts have also cautioned that withdrawing from the organization could weaken the world’s defenses against new outbreaks capable of triggering pandemics. Here’s a look at what Trump’s decision means: What happened? During the first…
Minyoli was imagined as a traditional Taiwanese noodle shop in Chicago, but has become a creative cultural exploration, where popcorn fried chicken meets street food waffles. Chef and owner Rich Wang opened his debut restaurant in Andersonville last May. Born in Taipei and raised in a juancun, or military dependents’ village, Wang immigrated to Chicago at age 16 with his family in 2000. He became an attorney, but resigned at age 29 to change his life’s work. Wang attended culinary school at Kendall College, and trained in Lanzhou, the city in China famous for its hand-pulled noodle schools. He worked…
Despite a ban from Park District work after he was asked to resign from a top post there for his involvement in the agency’s sexual abuse lifeguard scandal, a longtime government employee has again found a job with a Chicago alderman. A November 2021 investigation cited Alonzo Williams, then the Park District’s chief programs officer, and other district executives for mishandling allegations of abuse and sexual harassment in the lifeguard program. Williams resigned when the report came out and was designated “do not rehire” by the agency. But Williams quickly found contracting work in the City Council. And now, despite…
It comes to me like a disturbing nightmare, images of a man admitting that he was married to a Shetland pony, which is sitting next to him. But after shaking off sleep and becoming fully awake, I realize that it was no dream but rather a memory, of a bygone TV show that was among the most outrageous and dangerously influential TV shows in history, hosted by a relatively affable man named Jerry Springer. Remember what TV Guide once called “the worst show in the history of television”? Can you hear that “Jer-rey! Jer-rey! Jer-rey!” that the audience enthusiastically shouted,…
Fans of the Broadway musical “Beauty and the Beast,” adapted from the Disney movie in the ’90s, might find themselves humming the tune to “Human Again” after seeing City Lit Theater’s production of “Glassheart.” In this song, originally cut from the film but reinserted into the musical, the staff members of the Beast’s enchanted castle daydream about what they will do when the curse is broken and they transform from household objects back into people. This longing to be human is central to “Glassheart,” a modern retelling of “Beauty and the Beast” by Chicago-based playwright Reina Hardy, now in its…
The Field Museum’s lakefront building isn’t original to the “White City” constructed for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, but its collection began as a permanent home for many of the items exhibited at that famous fair. One of these 19th century specimens, a taxidermy tiger, is now prominently displayed in an array of all 45 known species of living felines in a new exhibit, “Cats: Predators to Pets.” Created by the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, the exhibit opened at the Field in November with some customization for local audiences. The current version highlights the Field’s conservation efforts and…
TOKYO — Ichiro Suzuki is all about baseball, but he’s much more than that in Japan. Back home, he’s a wellspring of national pride, much like Shohei Ohtani now. His triumphs across the Pacific buoyed the nation as Japan’s economy sputtered through the so-called lost decades of the 1990s and into the 2000s. “He healed the wounds in Japan’s national psyche,” Kiyoteru Tsutsui, professor of sociology at Stanford University, told The Associated Press. On Tuesday, he’s expected to be the first Japanese player elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and possibly only the second player chosen unanimously after New…
The Chicago Sky are moving on from Chennedy Carter after electing not to extend a qualifying offer to the dynamic guard. Carter is now an unrestricted free agent and can begin negotiations with other teams. After initially joining the Sky on a training camp contract, Carter fought her way into the starting lineup last season. The fourth-year guard often served as the sole source of offense for the Sky, especially after the departure of Marina Mabrey in a July trade. Carter averaged 17.5 points per game and single-handedly accounted for a quarter of the Sky’s scoring after the All-Star break.…

Steph Curry said the Warriors’ upcoming stretch of games can “make our break our season.” Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry (30) takes a shot against the Boston Celtics in the first quarter at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group) SAN FRANCISCO — But everyone knows the standings. Everyone knows the situation, the date of the trade deadline.
