Three other teenagers also were seriously wounded in the shooting. A 17-year-old was taken to the University of Chicago in serious condition with a gunshot wound to his neck. A 19-year-old man was shot multiple times in the back, and he was in critical condition at the University of Chicago. Another boy, 17, was shot in his left shoulder and he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where he had been listed in serious condition, police said.

The deal, which is subject to customary approvals, will make Amazon, already one of the most powerful and valuable companies in the world, even bigger. Regulators around the world are scrutinizing Amazon’s business practices, specifically the way it looks at information from businesses that sell goods on its site and uses it to create its own Amazon-branded products.

Organizers and the IOC, often citing the authority of the World Health Organization, say the games can be held safely with 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes entering Japan, joined by tens of thousands of judges, officials, sponsors, broadcasters and media.

But Cutler, who made 102 starts over eight seasons with the Bears from 2009-2016, also sees little harm in the team’s current plan to keep rookie Justin Fields behind Andy Dalton until the rookie is better equipped to play, has a firmer grasp of the offense, greater command in the huddle and increased comfort out on the field.

Yasell, who ran for mayor of Niles in 2017 against incumbent Andrew Przybylo, maintains a Facebook page called Steven Yasell for Mayor of Niles. In an April 1 post he wrote, “I would like to give my full endorsement to the Niles-Maine District Library Trustee Candidates Joe Makula, Olivia Hanusiak, Steve Folga and Sue Schoenfeldt. These 4 NEW candidates, and only these 4.”

But so, apparently, are tourists. Despite a national average that tops $3 per gallon for the first time since 2014, AAA estimates that 34 million people will travel by car this Memorial Day weekend, down about 8% from the 37 million who took to the road in 2019, but up by more than half from the number packing the hatchback during the deadly early throes of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.

Markkanen, who turned 24 this month, put up career highs in shooting — 48% from the field, 40.2% from 3-point range — while posting career-low averages with 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds. His shooting accuracy did not outweigh the other limitations in his game, and his playing time dwindled to a career-low 25.8 minutes per game.

There were several issues. The area code selection was inconsistent, including several notable omissions — the Tampa Bay Rays’ hat didn’t include St. Petersburg, where the team’s stadium is located, for example; the Pittsburgh Pirates’ version had no area codes at all.

The team that makes the most sense for Foles is the New York Jets. They’re going to start No. 2 pick Zach Wilson from Day 1 unless training camp and preseason are complete disasters for him. The only other quarterbacks on the roster are James Morgan, a fourth-round pick a year ago, and Mike White, who entered the league in 2019 as an undrafted free agent. The Jets could use a veteran with experience to show Wilson the ropes, help teach him how to study film and be a mentor of sorts. Foles seems like an ideal candidate to be that guy, and having him and Andy Dalton on the Bears roster with Justin Fields is redundant. The Bears would create a salary-cap savings if they can trade Foles after June 1. Maybe the Jets will slow-play things and see if the Bears release Foles, which seems unlikely because even after June 1, that would cost more against their cap than keeping him. The Bears wouldn’t get much for Foles. They acquired him from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fourth-round pick, and he struggled when he played last season. But a late-round pick would really be a bonus on top of the cap savings they would create. We’ll have to see if something shakes out. I don’t think many (any?) other teams would be in the market for Foles.

“Maybe in previous years I’d kind of look into it and maybe get caught up into it, be thinking about all that outside noise leading up to it,” Giolito said. “For this one, it was great. We took pictures and stuff, Ethan and Jack (Monday). I feel like now I’m able to enjoy these kinds of moments and these kinds of experiences rather than stressing about them.
