1934: William “Billy Goat” Sianis bought the Lincoln Tavern, 1855 W. Madison St., across from the old Chicago Stadium (which was replaced in 1995 by the United Center).
According to a Tribune story from 1938, Sianis renamed the bar the Billy Goat Tavern within a year of opening after a goat fell off a truck and wandered into the bar. When Sianis and his goat, Murphy, tried to enter a World Series game at Wrigley Field on Oct. 6, 1945, they were turned away. Thus began the curse of the billy goat.

“Billy — that’s the goat — brought good luck to Mr. Sianis because business improved at his restaurant when the goat was put on the floor show,” the Tribune reported. “Mr. Sianis grew a set of whiskers just like Billy’s so Billy would feel at home.”
One thing was missing — cheeseburgers (or cheezborgers, according to a John Belushi “Saturday Night Live” skit from 1978). The location didn’t have a grill. It was only after moving to the Apollo Savings and Loan building on Lower Michigan Avenue in 1964 that the Billy Goat started serving food.

1964: Farm-in-the-Zoo opened at Lincoln Park Zoo. It was designed to show “city folks where most of their food comes from,” as suggested three years prior by the Lincoln Park Zoological Society.
“We had in mind that segment of the population which in its visits to the zoo becomes acquainted with animals from Africa and other faraway places, but has little knowledge of the animals in rural areas,” said Frederick M. Gillies, society president.
It was the first major zoo project made possible by the society, featuring two red barns on Chicago Park District land just south of the zoo entrance.
While digging the foundation for a barn, workers found a fully intact coffin. The site was formerly part of Chicago City Cemetery. Many of the 35,000 bodies buried there were relocated to other cemeteries by the 1880s.
The main barn featured an Angus steer, a ewe and her lamb, a sow with 12 piglets, and an incubator. The dairy barn included a herd of six Holstein cows, a heifer, a bull and two newborn calves. The attraction became so popular that horse and beef cattle barns were added in 1965.

1968: A new $500,000 McDonald’s Hamburger University opened at 2010 E. Higgins Road in Elk Grove Village and included closed-circuit television to demonstrate techniques used in the company’s restaurants. Cutaway models of kitchen equipment and even classes on how to serve dine-in guests — which McDonald’s didn’t accommodate until 1969 — gave students hands-on experience.

1986: Gambler, pool hall owner and rumored drug dealer Willie “Flukey” Stokes and his chauffeur were shot to death inside a limousine outside his girlfriend’s apartment on South Ellis Avenue.
Stokes’ former bodyguard Earl Wilson was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1988 after a prosecutor argued that he ”directed the hands of the gunmen” who shot down Stokes and his driver.
1996: Fourteen people were killed when United Express Flight 5925 from Chicago collided on the runway with a private plane at Baldwin Municipal Airport outside Quincy, Illinois.

Also in 1996: An Illinois appellate court reversed the conviction of Juan Rivera, who was found guilty in 1993 for the Aug. 17, 1992, rape and murder of 11-year-old Holly Staker of Waukegan.

Rivera was convicted in three separate trials, despite evidence that continually unraveled over the years, including a false confession extracted from a then 19-year-old Rivera that came at the end of a grueling three-day police interrogation.
No physical evidence linked Rivera to the crime, and DNA evidence later excluded Rivera as Staker’s killer. An appeals court vacated his conviction in early 2012, and Lake County later paid Rivera a $20 million lawsuit settlement.

Like “Helping An Alcoholic By Sending Another Crate Of Vodka”: Orbán Blasts Brussels Over EU Funding Ukraine
Like “Helping An Alcoholic By Sending Another Crate Of Vodka”: Orbán Blasts Brussels Over EU Funding Ukraine
Ukraine will need over $150 billion from its Western backers in 2026 and 2027. The President of the European Commission admitted there were no easy options.
In a letter to the leaders of the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen argued it was essential for the bloc to plug Ukraine’s $157 billion budget gap over the next two years. “It will now be key to rapidly reach a clear commitment on how to ensure that the necessary funding for Ukraine will be agreed at the next European Council meeting in December,” she wrote.
EU bureaucrats on Kyiv’s behalf: send more money fast.
“Clearly, there are no easy options.” Von der Leyen continued, “Europe cannot afford paralysis, either by hesitation or by the search for perfect or simple solutions which do not exist.”
The letter, sent by von der Leyen to 27 European leaders on Monday, was first reported by EuroNews on Tuesday.
Von der Leyen’s proposal to fill the budget gap calls for EU states to enter into bilateral agreements with Kiev to provide over $100 billion to Ukraine over the next two years. Additionally, she wants the bloc to take on debt to finance Kiev and to use seized Russian assets held in member states.
Most of the frozen Russian funds are held in Belgium. Brussels has resisted using the assets, believing Moscow will sue to recover the funds.
Hungarian President Viktor Orban rejected von der Leyen’s call for sending more support to Ukraine:
“I received a letter today from President von der Leyen. She writes that Ukraine’s financing gap is significant and asks member states to send more money,” he wrote on X. “It’s astonishing.”
“At a time when it has become clear that a war mafia is siphoning off European taxpayers’ money, instead of demanding real oversight or suspending payments, the Commission President suggests we send even more.”

Polonia cierra el último consulado de Rusia en el país tras sabotaje ferroviario
Associated Press
VARSOVIA, Polonia (AP) — El ministro de Exteriores de Polonia anunció el miércoles el cierre del último consulado de Rusia que aún opera en el país después de que las autoridades dijeran que dos ciudadanos ucranianos que trabajan para Moscú son sospechosos de haber volado una línea ferroviaria en suelo polaco.
Radek Sikorski manifestó que había advertido repetidamente al Kremlin que su presencia diplomática y consular se reduciría aún más si no cesaba las acciones hostiles contra Polonia, reportó la agencia de noticiosa polaca PAP.
“En relación con esto, aunque no será nuestra respuesta completa, he decidido retirar el consentimiento para el funcionamiento del último consulado ruso en Gdansk”, manifestó agregando que Rusia será notificada formalmente en las próximas horas.
El cierre dejará a Rusia solo con su embajada en Varsovia.

FlyDubai encarga 75 Boeing 737 MAX en un acuerdo valorado en 13.000 millones de dólares
Por JON GAMBRELL
DUBÁI, Emiratos Árabes Unidos (AP) — FlyDubai, la aerolínea de bajo costo de Emirates, anunció el miércoles que encargó 75 aviones Boeing 737 MAX adicionales en un acuerdo valorado en 13.000 millones de dólares.
El anuncio se produce un día después de que la compañía realizó, también en el Dubai Air Show, una importante compra de 150 Airbus A321neo por 24.000 millones de dólares. Desde que comenzó a operar en 2009, FlyDubai solo había volado con Boeing 737, por lo que el acuerdo de venta del martes supuso un gran triunfo para el consorcio europeo en el salón aeronáutico bienal.
“Mirando hacia el futuro, la planificación proactiva de la flota es esencial para asegurarnos de que estamos bien posicionados para satisfacer la creciente demanda de viajes, una demanda que estamos seguros continuará creciendo”, afirmó el jeque Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, presidente tanto de FlyDubai como de Emirates.
“Anticipar las necesidades futuras es un factor determinante en el éxito de cualquier aerolínea y el anuncio de hoy refleja nuestro compromiso con ese principio”, añadió.
FlyDubai hizo el anuncio en un comunicado, sin una conferencia de prensa. Boeing no hizo declaraciones.
La aerolínea añadió que, como parte del acuerdo, tenía opciones de compra para otros 75 Boeing.
Antes el miércoles, el Aeropuerto Internacional de Dubái, el más concurrido del mundo para viajes internacionales, anunció que alcanzó los 70,1 millones de pasajeros este año y va camino de volver a romper sus propios récords.

Ministro de Exteriores de Polonia anuncia cierre del consulado de Rusia en Gdansk tras sabotaje ferroviario

¿Qué significa para Bangladesh la sentencia de muerte de la exlíder Sheikh Hasina?
Por JULHAS ALAM
DACA, Bangladesh (AP) — La sentencia de muerte dictada esta semana contra la ex primera ministra de Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina por crímenes contra la humanidad, es vista por sus opositores como una oportunidad para avanzar en una nación traumatizada por la magnitud del levantamiento violento que la llevó del poder al exilio.
Hasina está en India desde el 5 de agosto del año pasado, cuando su mandato de 15 años terminó durante unos disturbios que causaron cientos de muertos y miles de heridos. Rechazó el veredicto del lunes, que calificó de “parcial y con motivaciones políticas”.
Los retos son enormes para el gobierno interino liderado por Muhammad Yunus, laureado con el Nobel de la Paz, bajo presión para celebrar unas elecciones creíbles en febrero, después de décadas de gobierno de Hasina o de su rival de larga data.
A continuación, lo que debe saber sobre la situación:
Se avecinan elecciones tensas
El nuevo liderazgo de Bangladesh está decidido a devolver la democracia a la nación del sur de Asia mediante los próximos comicios, en los que se han asegurado de que no participen Hasina ni su partido, la Liga Awami. Pero la situación sigue siendo tensa.
“El gobierno interino ha suprimido por completo a la Liga Awami (…) así que el nivel de polarización está en un punto álgido”, dijo el analista Michael Kugelman, investigador principal de la Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
La mayor preocupación es la violencia relacionada con las elecciones, apuntó.
“Los saboteadores de la Liga Awami pueden intentar perturbar las elecciones con disturbios. Y con la fuerza policial de Bangladesh enfrentando serios problemas morales, habría preocupaciones sobre la capacidad del Estado para gestionar la violencia”, agregó el analista.
La policía estuvo en la primera línea de la letal represión en 2024 y algunos de sus efectivos fueron asesinados después de que los manifestantes atacaran las comisarías.
El hijo de Hasina advirtió que el partido podría intentar bloquear los comicios si no se levanta el veto a su actividad política y añadió que solo unas elecciones inclusivas estabilizarán el país.
Un “juego a largo plazo” para Hasina
Es bastante improbable que India extradite a Hasina, a pesar del renovado pedido de Bangladesh luego del veredicto del lunes.
“Es probable que Hasina espere su momento, continúe gestionando los asuntos de su partido desde India y juegue a largo plazo con la esperanza de regresar a la política si las circunstancias cambian en los próximos años”, dijo Kugelman. “En la región, los líderes dinásticos y sus partidos pueden recibir reveses, pero nunca desaparecen”.
Según Sabir Mustafa, analista y exjefe del Servicio Bengalí de la BBC británica, la Liga Awami podría estar seriamente desmoralizada sin el liderazgo de Hasina, pero necesita reformarse si quiere avanzar.
“Por lo tanto, Hasina debe comenzar las reformas del partido ella misma”, apuntó, indicando que tiene que mirar al futuro si quiere regresar a la política algún día.
Mustafa señaló que el juicio fue “seriamente defectuoso” y que la pena de muerte era injusta para un caso procesado en ausencia. A pesar de eso, será complicado que sus seguidores y otros salgan a las calles a protestar en el corto plazo, añadió.
Para Mustafa, sin reformas en la formación ni un nuevo liderazgo bajo la guía de Hasina, el regreso de la Liga Awami será complicado.
Nuevo líder, bajo presión
Grupos de defensa de los derechos humanos y el Alto Comisionado de Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos ofrecieron reacciones encontradas a la condena y al proceso judicial.
Human Rights Watch y Amnistía Internacional plantearon dudas sobre la imparcialidad del proceso judicial, mientras que el organismo de derechos de la ONU apuntó que el veredicto era “un momento importante” para las víctimas de la represión del año pasado que mató a cientos, aunque sigue en contra de la pena de muerte en todos los casos.
Teniendo esto en cuenta, el gobierno de Yunus tendrá que convencer a la comunidad internacional de la credibilidad del proceso judicial.
Para Kugelman, la principal prioridad de Yunus —y su mayor reto— es garantizar un entorno seguro y pacífico para las elecciones.
Son unos comicios con mucho en juego: son los primeros en casi 20 años en los que hay grandes expectativas de que el voto sea libre y justo. Las elecciones de enero de 2024, que revalidaron el poder de Hasina para un cuarto mandato consecutivo, fueron boicoteadas por los partidos de la oposición y estuvieron marcadas por las protestas violentas y el escrutinio internacional.
De acuerdo con Mustafa, Yunus ya ha traicionado su legado como Nobel de la Paz al presidir varias violaciones, incluyendo una justicia popular flagrante, muertes bajo custodia, arrestos indiscriminados y encarcelamientos, a veces sin cargos concretos y creíbles, especialmente de seguidores de Hasina.
Pero cree que la comunidad internacional continuará apoyando al líder interino.
“El desafío que tiene por delante entre ahora y febrero es asegurar que las cosas funcionen sin problemas y que las elecciones se lleven a cabo en febrero de manera pacífica y creíble”, dijo Mustafa.
Ante el veto electoral a la Liga Awami, Yunus debería garantizar que los comicios no sean manipuladas por el Partido Nacionalista de Bangladesh, liderado por la exprimera ministra Khaleda Zia, o por el partido islamista más grande del país, Jamaat-e-Islami.
“Así puede revivir su legado como Nobel de la Paz”, manifestó.

EU Launches Cloud Antitrust Probes Into Amazon, Microsoft
EU Launches Cloud Antitrust Probes Into Amazon, Microsoft
What would Europe be without a mountain of regulations aimed at curbing free speech and privacy?
The European Commission (EC) on Monday launched three separate investigations into Amazon and Microsoft to determine whether their cloud computing businesses should be subject to stricter regulation under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Two of the probes will examine whether Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure should be designated as gatekeepers under DMA – even though the companies do not currently meet the law’s quantitative thresholds for size, user numbers, or market dominance.
To meet that bar under DMA, companies providing a core platform service must have over 45 million monthly active users and a market cap of more than 75 billion euros (US$87.87 billion). Compaines which breach the rules may face fines of up to 10% of global revenue.
And of course, in Europe – even if a company doesn’t meet the threshold to be classified as a gatekeeper – EU regulators can just say you are.
While the DMA is not nakedly about regulating free speech, critics argue that several of its structural mandates could indirectly chill expression online. Requirements for interoperability, alternative ranking systems, and tighter control over “gatekeeper” platforms may unintentionally pressure large services to adopt more uniform, risk-averse moderation policies to avoid regulatory conflict – especially when combined with the EU’s broader Digital Services Act framework.
By forcing platforms to open their systems to third-party services and to redesign core ranking or recommendation functions, the DMA could incentivize over-enforcement, reduced visibility for controversial viewpoints, or a homogenized approach to content governance. In this view, the DMA expands regulatory leverage in ways that, while not explicitly targeting speech, could reshape the online information environment in ways that subtly disfavor dissenting or politically sensitive expression.
Meanwhile, a third probe will look into whether DMA’s existing framework is sufficient to address what the European Commission described as anticompetitive practices in Europe’s cloud sector.
As the Epoch Times notes further, the legislation has come under fire from the Trump administration, which said in February that the DMA unfairly targeted U.S. tech companies.
In announcing the probes, the EC said cloud computing “must be provided in a fair, open and competitive environment” to ensure innovation and Europe’s “strategic autonomy.”
EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera said the investigations will examine “whether the DMA’s existing rules need to be updated so Europe can keep pace with fast-evolving practices in the cloud sector.”
She added that cloud computing is critical to AI development and digital competitiveness in Europe.
Monitoring the Gatekeepers
AWS stated that it believed the EC would ultimately conclude that stricter rules were unnecessary.
“We’re confident that when the European Commission considers the facts, it will recognise what we all see—the cloud computing sector is extremely dynamic, with companies enjoying lots of choice, unprecedented innovation opportunity, and low costs, and that designating cloud providers as gatekeepers isn’t worth the risks of stifling invention or raising costs for European companies,” an AWS spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.
A Microsoft spokesperson, responding to the announcement, said the company was “ready to contribute to the enquiry.”
If the EC ultimately finds that AWS and Azure constitute an “important gateway” between businesses and customers, the services could be added to the list of core platform services for which both companies are already designated as gatekeepers.
Other services by Microsoft and Amazon already on the gatekeepers’ list are LinkedIn, Windows PC OS, Amazon Marketplace, and Amazon Advertising. The Microsoft Azure and AWS designations would trigger new duties, including interoperability requirements and limits on favoring their own products.
The EC said it aims to conclude its investigations within 12 months. If Amazon or Microsoft is designated as a gatekeeper for cloud computing, it will have six months to comply with DMA rules.
The third and broader investigation into whether the DMA adequately governs the cloud market is expected to conclude within 18 months and may result in formal updates to the law.
