Key dates on the 2023-24 Chicago Bulls schedule, including Victor Wembanyama’s United Center debut and a tough final stretch

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:05:39 GMT

The Chicago Bulls kick off the 2023-24 season with a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 25, then host the Toronto Raptors two days later before embarking on their first trip of the year.Last season’s opener took a left turn for the Bulls when Zach LaVine was named a late scratch due to load management — which LaVine and coach Billy Donovan insisted was planned in the preseason — as he eased back from a left knee injury. LaVine went on to record one of the strongest seasons of his career, and he’ll need to improve upon that performance after the Bulls retained the majority of their roster to focus on their maximum-contract star.The focus of the home opener likely will land on who nabbed the starting point guard job — perhaps new signing Jevon Carter, who joined the Bulls from the Milwaukee Bucks. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu also will be vying for the position.Here are some key dates for the season.Nov. 3: First game of the In-Season Tourn...

ATLANTA (AP) — Workers have begun loading radioactive fuel into a second new nuclear reactor in Georgia, utilities said Thursday, putting the reactor on a path to begin generating electricity in the coming months.Georgia Power Co. says workers will transfer 157 fuel assemblies into the reactor core at Plant Vogtle, southeast of Augusta, in the next few days. There are already three reactors operating at the plant. Two reactors have been operating for decades, while the third reactor entered commercial operation on July 31, becoming the first new nuclear unit built from scratch in the United States in decades.It’s a key step toward completing the two-reactor project, which is seven years late and $17 billion over budget.Once fuel is loaded, operators will conduct tests and begin splitting atoms, which creates the high temperatures that boil steam that drives turbines, which generates electricity. The company says unit 4 is supposed to reach commercial operation by March 2024.Th...

Georgia school board fires teacher for reading a book to students about gender identity

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia school board voted along party lines Thursday to fire a teacher after officials said she improperly read a book on gender fluidity to her fifth grade class.The Cobb County School Board in suburban Atlanta voted 4-3 to fire Katie Rinderle, overriding the recommendation of a panel of three retired educators.

She had been a teacher for 10 years when she got into trouble in March for reading the picture book “My Shadow Is Purple” by Scott Stuart at Due West Elementary School, after which some parents complained.The case has drawn wide attention as a test of what public school teachers can teach in class, how much a school system can control teachers and whether parents can veto instruction they dislike. It comes amid a nationwide conservative backlash to books and teaching about LGBTQ+ subjects in school.Rinderle declined comment after the vote...

‘The buck stops with me’: Can the Ford government survive the Greenbelt scandal?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:05:39 GMT

Can Doug Ford survive the Greenbelt scandal? Will the controversy get worse? Insiders from across the political spectrum have been pondering what’s next for the Ford government a week after the bombshell Greenbelt report rocked Queen’s Park. Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk’s scathing report found the decision to open protected Greenbelt lands up to housing development favoured developers with ties to the housing minister’s chief of staff and that the selection of those lands was “biased,” “seriously flawed,” and was “dismissive of effective land-use planning.”“There are people who have clearly given money to his political party who are netting a massive, massive gain. When that all happens it’s hard to say you’re different than everybody else when you’re involved in those sort of activities, so I think to a certain extent he’s taken a hit,” said Bob Richardson, a former Liberal chief of staff and now senior counsel at National Public Rela...
