Derrick Rose was a regular at the NBA All-Star game from 2010-2012, but the Bulls guard has had to make alternate plans the past four seasons.

Instead of watching teammates Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol in Toronto, Rose is taking in a college basketball game.

The No. 17 Wildcats have a double-digit lead over the No. 23 Trojans midway through the second half.

The Bulls are in the midst of a four-game losing streak following Jimmy Butler’s knee injury. They’ll face Cleveland Thursday in their first game following the All-Star break.

Illinois wetlands deserve protection. Lawmakers should make that happen, while there is still time.

State lawmakers can pass legislation that would restore the safeguards the U.S. Supreme Court removed last year on wetlands, which play a key role in helping to mitigate the impact of climate change and are critical habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians.

Watch and learn: Chicago Palestine Film Festival aims to entertain, educate

Not all filmmakers participating in the 15-day event are of Palestinian descent, but their art reclaims and champions narratives that have been defiled by those who have a Pavlovian tendency to think terrorists — not innocent civilians — when they visualize Palestinian men, women and children.
