Column: It’s a new year. Is this a new future for the Chicago Bulls?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:48:57 GMT

The passage of a year always shifts perspective. That couldn’t be more true for the Chicago Bulls as they enter 2024.The Bulls exited 2023 in nearly identical form to the way they entered it. On Jan. 1, 2023, the Bulls were 16-20. Today, they enter the new year with a 15-19 record. On paper, this status feels the same — sitting four games under .500, clinging to the 10th spot in the East to remain in play-in contention. Yet the energy around the team could not be more different a full year later.Last season, the Bulls teetered around the .500 mark until Nov. 9, after which point they tumbled as low as 12th in the East before stumbling into 2023. It wasn’t dramatic, just the humdrum drone of an underperforming roster.This year took a different tone. The lows came first — a players-only meeting fueled by an opening night blowout, a five-game losing streak on the road, and a 5-14 start to the season, the worst since 2018. But that only made the highs more redemp...

Zapatistas mark 30 years since their armed uprising in southern Mexico

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:48:57 GMT

OCOSINGO, Mexico (AP) — Members and supporters of the Zapatista indigenous rebel movement celebrated the 30th anniversary of their brief armed uprising in southern Mexico on Monday even as their social base erodes and violence spurred by drug cartels encroaches on their territory.Hundreds gathered in the remote community of Dolores Hidalgo in the preceding days to mark the occasion. Some 1,500 young Zapatistas donning uniforms — black balaclavas, green caps and red kerchiefs — stood in formation listening to speeches early Monday.Subcommander Moises — his nom de guerre — called for the Zapatistas to continue organizing themselves to fight to maintain their autonomy, freedom and democracy.“We’re alone, like 30 years ago, because alone we have found the new path that we are going to follow,” Moises said. He noted the continuing need to defend their communities from violence. “We don’t need to kill soldiers and bad governments, but if they come we’re going to defend ourselves.”In Novem...

Migrant crossings of English Channel declined by more than a third in 2023, UK government says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:48:57 GMT

LONDON (AP) — The number of migrants crossing the English Channel in 2023 fell by more than a third from the previous year, marking the first decline since current record-keeping began, the British government said. The 30,000 crossings recorded in preliminary figures made up 36% fewer than the more than 45,000 in 2022. But the number was the second-highest since 2018 — about 1,000 above the total in 2021.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made “stop the boats” one of his top priorities as his conservative government has pushed strict immigration laws to curb the flow of migrants who take perilous journeys from French to England, often in unseaworthy boats. Most of those who arrived on English soil by boat applied for asylum. The government has a large backlog in reviewing those applications.A union representative for border officers said the drop in recorded crossings was likely to be a “glitch” due to weather and other factors, and that larger numbers were expected this year.“We have h...

DALLAS (AP) — Mason Marchment had three goals and an assist as the Dallas Stars routed the Chicago Blackhawks, 8-1, on Sunday night to complete a two-game set at American Airlines Arena and extend the Blackhawks' road losing streak to 11 games.Chicago, 0-10-1 on the road during that stretch, have the second-fewest points in the NHL with just 24.“My only hope from a game like (Sunday) is we just finally hammer it through our thick heads of how we’re going to need to play,” said Nick Foligno, a veteran on a young Chicago roster. “And that is not it. It’s just not who we are. That’s not a winning team. That’s just a team hoping.”Philipp Kurashev scored the lone goal for the Blackhawks.
