There were 37 flight delays at O’Hare between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, while Midway Airport had 10 delays and three cancellations, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, which is grappling with active thunderstorms, topped the so-called MiseryMap with 63 delays and 12 cancellations Monday afternoon.

American and other airlines have had trouble matching their desire to offer flights with their ability to assemble crews, although it expects to complete training for furloughed pilots by the end of June. The airline said it dropped flights in markets that have other options for passengers and is working to make schedule changes in advance of travelers’ departure dates.

Then, after more than a year of dialing in, the physical office, in all its fluorescence, began to beckon. After a heat wave in the Northeast and triple-digit temperatures in the West, some employees started to wonder if the grass might be greener — or, at least, the cubicle cooler — on the other side.

“Racial justice is a term that’s thrown around these days’ there’s an understanding that it needs to be said, but there’s a lack of an understanding of how it is done,” Power said. “What I’m so proud of is operationalizing that work, pushing the boundaries of philanthropy to fund individuals, and for profit media organizations, creating so many partnerships with the MacArthur Foundation, with the Democracy Fund, and the Chicago Community Trust. “Beyond funding partnerships, I see myself as a notorious collaborator. In many ways, I feel that, while Field Foundation has been extremely important, the walls fell away from Field, and I feel like I worked as an ensemble member with people across the city on these issues that are so important. That’s really what I carry with me. Legacy is such a heavy word, who knows what that will be but what I carry with me are those pieces.”

Experts recommend going to a shelter’s lowest floor, like a basement, a bathroom, a closet or center hallway.

Outside, avoid bridges or highway overpasses.

The announcement, shared by email Monday, comes after large private colleges in Chicago and the suburbs already moved to mandate the shots. Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Loyola University, DePaul University and others have already shared those intentions with students.

Also unknown was whether Vrdolyak, who did not participate in Monday’s hearing, has been vaccinated against COVID-19. His attorney, Catharine O’Daniel, told the judge his doctors had recommended he not get a vaccine due to his compromised immune system. She also said he’d suffered from yet another fall at home last week and chipped bones in his hip.

The NCAA had argued that a ruling for the athletes could lead to a blurring of the line between college and professional sports, with colleges trying to lure talented athletes by offering over-the-top education benefits worth thousands of dollars. Even without the court’s ruling, however, changes seem on the way for how college athletes are compensated. The NCAA is trying to amend its rules to allow athletes to profit from their names, images and likenesses. That would allow athletes to earn money for things like sponsorship deals, online endorsement and personal appearances. For some athletes, those amounts could dwarf any education-related benefits.

There will also be six newcomers to the Olympic stage led by reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson. The Las Vegas Aces star helped the U.S. win the World Championship in 2018 in Spain. Others making their Olympic debuts are Skylar Diggins-Smith, Chelsea Gray, Ariel Atkins, Jewell Loyd and Napheesa Collier.
