Defense attorneys for the four former Commonwealth Edison executives and lobbyists convicted of bribing one of the state's most powerful politicians have asked a judge to drop the case. The four defendants, who have not be sentenced, want Judge Manish Shah to dismiss the indictment against them and issue an acquittal after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the federal bribery statute. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of a federal bribery statute that makes it a crime for state and local officials to accept gifts valued at over $5,000 from a donor who had previously been awarded contracts or other government benefits thanks to the official's efforts. The 6-3 decision could affect how prosecutors across the country pursue public corruption cases.

As AI data centers multiply electricity needs and grid transmission challenges linger, how will the United States produce enough affordable, reliable, and clean power? Can we continue to grow the economy without forsaking critical climate objectives? In this episode, Barbara spotlights a key solution: the opportunity to innovate at the "grid edge," where technologies can be applied to rapidly scale renewables. Barbara not only makes the case for how to transform the power grid; she presents an example in Chicago's South Side neighborhood Bronzeville, which recently switched on a powerful grid edge project in the form of America's first neighborhood-scale microgrid. Get ready to hear expert commentary on how microgrids supercharge utility services.

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 112-91 loss to the Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Friday night. After hopes were raised with their dominant win over the Hawks, the Bulls proved once again just how consistently inconsistent they are. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the pathetic offensive output by the Bulls, who couldn't knock down shots to overcome the Heat's zone defense and double-teams of DeMar DeRozan. Plus, the guys have a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the franchise entering this offseason. Is Billy Donovan the problem? Is Arturas Karnisovas on a cold seat that should be hot? And will anything ever change as long as the Reinsdorfs own this team and take advantage of this loyal fanbase while embracing mediocrity?

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament with a playoff birth on the line! Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for Miami with a sprained MCL, while Alex Caruso's availability (sprained ankle) is still undecided. What, if anything, can we learn from the teams' regular season series? The Bulls and Heat split 2-2 this season, but all four games were played from November to December when both teams looked a lot different than they do now. Matt, Big Dave and Will analyze the Heat's strengths and weaknesses, and discuss the keys for a Bulls victory.

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 131-116 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday night. Coby White had the game of his career, pouring in 42 points on an insanely impressive package of drives and finishes. Ayo Dosunmu and Andre Drummond both played through their respective injuries, and provided strong games. Matt and Big Dave discuss what a game like this from Coby - especially on this stage - means for him and the Bulls moving forward. Will joins the guys from the United Center to offer his thoughts on the game and insights from the postgame locker room. Big Dave awards the Empire Today Goon of the Night.

The CHGO Bulls crew dive deep into the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks for the win-or-go-home Play-In Tournament game on Wednesday night! The Bulls took 2 of 3 games in their season series vs Atlanta, with DeMar DeRozan leading the way. Trae Young is back in action for the Hawks, but both teams are still missing several of their key players. The availability of Ayo Dosunmu and Andre Drummond is still undetermined. Their presence, or lack thereof, will play a huge role in determining which team has the upper hand. Dosunmu has played well against the Hawks, and Drummond can dominate their now smaller lineup with his offensive rebounding. Matt, Big Dave and Will break down all the angles of what should be a tightly contested game. Plus, could a big game from Nikola Vucevic be the Bulls' best shot at victory? The guys also preview the other Play-In Tournament games in the East and West.

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 120-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday. In a game that had zero stakes for the Bulls, Billy Donovan played all his starters between 38 and 44 minutes. Matt and Big Dave try to make sense of that decision, considering the heavy burden of minutes and injury issues the team is already facing. Plus, the guys discuss the playoff picture taking shape in both the East and West, and which teams and series they're excited to watch. Will joins the guys live from Madison Square Garden to offer his thoughts on the game and insights from the postgame locker room.

  -       ¿Hoy hablamos de imperios no? -       Creo que de amperios… o de perros… ¡Ay! No sé. Mejor escuchemos el episodio…   ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Espero que tu día sea fantástico, y… con este episodio, pueda contribuir a que sea a aún un poco mejor. Puedes acceder al texto en: https://unlimitedspanish.com/360-el-imperativo-en-espanol/    Hoy voy a hablar del imperativo. Pero antes de continuar, te voy a preguntar qué es esto del imperativo. Te daré cuatro posibles respuestas. A ver si lo sabes. El imperativo es: 1.    La creación de imperios. Por ejemplo, la creación del imperio romano. 2.    La gestión de los amperios de la electricidad. 3.    La necesidad de tener un perro en casa, pero la palabra tendría dos r: Es imperrativo tener un perro. 4.    Indicar a alguien que tiene que hacer algo. ¿Qué piensas? Creo que ya lo sabes. Es la cuarta opción. Efectivamente, la forma imperativa es para indicar a alguien que tiene que hacer algo. Así que hoy vamos a ver cómo se puede usar esta forma en diferentes situaciones. ¿De acuerdo? Venga, la primera:   Dar órdenes o instrucciones: Este es el uso más directo y conocido del imperativo. Por ejemplo: -       ¡Estudia español! -       ¡Cierra la puerta! -       Dame un vaso de agua. Dar consejos o recomendaciones: Se puede usar esta forma para dar consejos o recomendar hacer algo. Por ejemplo: -       Come más frutas y verduras. -       Visita ese museo, ¡te va a encantar! Como ves, no se trata exactamente dar una orden, sino de sugerir algo. Hacer invitaciones: Es una forma amigable de invitar a alguien a hacer algo. Por ejemplo: -       ¡Ven a mi fiesta el sábado! -       ¡Prueba este pastel! Dar indicaciones o direcciones: Es muy común en contextos donde alguien pide direcciones o indicaciones. Ejemplo: -       ¡Gira a la derecha en la próxima calle! -       ¡Sube las escaleras y encontrarás la oficina! Expresar deseos hacia alguien: Se usa para desear algo a alguien, a menudo en expresiones corteses. Ejemplo: -       ¡Que tengas un buen día! -       ¡Disfruta de tus vacaciones! Prohibir o advertir: Aunque suele tener un tono autoritario, es una forma de prevenir o advertir a alguien sobre algo. Ejemplo: -       ¡No toques eso! -       ¡Ten cuidado con el perro! Expresiones fijas: Hay algunas expresiones idiomáticas o fórmulas fijas en español que emplean el imperativo. Ejemplo: -       ¡Salud! (cuando alguien estornuda) -       ¡Ojo! (como advertencia) -       ¡Vamos! (para animar a moverse o continuar)   Curiosamente, no puedo darme órdenes a mí mismo. Por ejemplo, si dijo: -       Yo estudio español O sin el “yo”: -       Estudio español No me estoy dando a mí mismo una orden o instrucción, aunque grite: -       ¡Estudio español! Simplemente estoy afirmando algo. Pero, si quisiera darme una orden, podría decir: -       Óscar, estudia español. Al final, estoy hablando conmigo mismo, pero refiriéndome a mí como una persona que está escuchando. Así que, para las ordenes, instrucciones o sugerencias, siempre las damos a los demás. Es decir, con el “tú”. Tampoco podemos darlas en tercera persona, ¡porque no nos oyen! Ah, y por supuesto, podemos usar el imperativo en singular y plural. Por ejemplo, si para una persona es: -       Juan, estudia español. Para más de una persona, en plural es: -       Juan y María, estudiad español. Vamos a ver algunos ejemplos más en plural: -       Caminad más rápido, que es tarde. -       Comed todo lo que está en el plato. -       Escuchad a vuestro padre. -       Hablad más bajo, que es tarde.  Puedes acceder al texto en: https://unlimitedspanish.com/360-el-imperativo-en-espanol/
