12+ min ago (600+ words) The flaws are many for the Bulls these days, but it starts with making life tougher for opposing guards to attack in space with little resistance. It's not a concern that is keeping Billy Donovan up at night. No, that would infer that it is somehow looming. Make no mistake about it, it's here for the Bulls and their coach, and it has been for weeks. An in-the-face realization that the league has the blueprint on how to exploit this flawed roster, and it won't stop until players start digging their toes into the mud and insisting, "Enough is enough!" Who knows which opposing team gets the credit. Maybe it was the fourth quarter in Portland when the Trail Blazers used their size and physicality to erase a 21-point deficit, outrebounded the Bulls 18-6 in that final stanza, and forced the…...

2+ hour, 1+ min ago (693+ words) David Awschalom is a professor of molecular engineering and physics at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, a massive effort involving dozens of universities, corporations and labs around the world to use advanced physics in designing smaller, faster, more secure technologies. Seeing that Chicago is the epicenter of a major effort in the future of technology, at the very moment our government is waging a glittery-eyed war on science, I checked in with the man coordinating it all. "This could really be new way for universities, national laboratories and companies to all work together at the birth of a new technology to move discoveries rapidly into society," he said. One way to conceive of what this is about is to consider the first sustained nuclear reaction " Dec. 2, 1942, also at the University of Chicago. If that…...

4+ hour, 34+ min ago (188+ words) If that snowstorm felt unusual for this time of the year, it was. Saturday was the snowiest November day ever recorded in Chicago, according to the National Weather Service. The storm dumped over 8 inches of snow on parts of the city. O'Hare International Airport got 8.4 inches as of Sunday morning, and Midway had 6 inches, forecasters said. But the storm isn't over yet. The area's winter weather advisory was extended from 6 a.m. to noon Sunday. "A band of snowfall is moving across Chicago, bringing a quick coating of snow again," Weather Service meteorologist Zachary Yak said. "We will be done with this storm system around noon." Saturday was the snowiest November day since Nov. 6, 1951, which saw 8 inches, Yak said. The 8.4-inch count also broke the daily snowfall record for Nov. 29. The previous record was set in 1942 with 3 inches of snow. Over 1,300 flights…...

When the Blackhawks flew from Calgary to Detroit to reach the final stop of their grueling six-city road trip earlier in November, U.S. customs officials identified something suspicious within the team's luggage. It was Spencer Knight's red-light therapy mat. Knight tried to explain that the sleeping bag-like item with thousands of tiny infrared bulbs is designed to repair tissue and support whole-body health, but the bewildered official never quite figured it out. Connor Bedard still laughs about the scene weeks later. "Stuff like that is funny, but it's awesome to see [his routine]," Bedard said. "When guys are playing so well, you appreciate that. But when you see, behind the scenes, why they're playing so well " their approach every day " it just makes you have so much respect." In less than a…...
