熊队与伊利诺伊州立法者之间沟通“极少”

官员表示，球队仍专注于在汉蒙德建设体育场

作者：Sean Hammond, Jeremy Garner 和 Robert McCoggin 芝加哥论坛报

自这家 NFL 特许经营球队在 6 月投票决定将体育场建设重点放在西北 Sedates 以来，芝加哥熊队与伊利诺伊州立法者的讨论一直处于“极少”状态。熊队主席乔治·麦考金（George McCog-

kay）和总裁兼首席执行官凯文·沃伦（Kevin Warren）周四在 Hicks Hall 的新闻发布会上重申，球队仍专注于在州界外的汉蒙德建设一座体育场。这些努力集中在两个地点：迷失沼泽高尔夫球场（Lost Marsh Golf Course）和沃尔夫湖码头（Wolf Lake Terminals）。沃伦表示，迷失沼泽地点的尽职调查已经完成，该地点可行，而附近沃尔夫湖的流程仍在进行中，将这两个地点合并也是可能的。沃伦表示：球队对该地点的尽职调查包括对土地的地形、地质和环境分析。沃伦还表示，正在构建一个“资本堆栈”，以筹集球队提议用于帮助建设体育场及周边多用途开发项目的 1500 亿美元。沃伦和麦考金都使用了“极少”一词来描述今年夏天与伊利诺伊州议员的持续沟通。“我不知道为什么在斯普林菲尔德陷入了僵局，”沃伦说。“但我们在过去几年里一直非常明确，我们一直需要的是房产税的确定性，我们需要基础设施的确定性。这就是我们所需要的。这一点没有改变。”熊队 6 月 1, 宣布，其董事会已投票决定推进在汉蒙德建设新体育场的计划。该公告发布在伊利诺伊州立法者夏季休会前不到一周，而当时众议院和参议院在试图将该特许经营球队留在伊利诺伊州的最后努力中未能达成共识。在众议院通过的一项法案本可以让熊队与阿灵顿高地（Arlington Heights）地区的当地政府机构协商特殊的税款支付，而不是支付更高的房产税。参议院的提案则将创建一项公共融资

行政命令为中期选举注入强心剂

疫苗行动使 MAHA 选民获胜，成为民主党攻击线

作者：Al Swenson 美联社

纽约——唐纳德·特朗普总统通过一项旨在缩减儿童免疫接种计划并将接种分次分次就诊的行政命令，证明了国家推动该协议的弹药。

在采取行动全面改革国家的疫苗政策和指南后，特朗普政府最近在关注较少争议的主题时，在很大程度上退出了进一步的变更，这引发了人们对这位共和党总统重新关注疫苗的政治动力及其反面影响的质疑。

十多年来，特朗普一直表达他的观点（与医疗团体的指南相反），认为儿童疫苗应在较长时间内以较小剂量接种。该行政命令旨在证实这一坚定理论。

虽然此举可能会让一些希望在免疫接种方面拥有更多灵活性的“使美国再次健康”（MAHA）选民支持特朗普，但这在一定程度上也招来了旨在损害特朗普阵营候选人在 11 月中期选举中表现的攻击。

28 岁的保守派活动人士 Janne Franklin 周一支持总统推行其行政命令，她表示认为这一行动对于像她这样的 MAHA 母亲选民来说“将产生深远影响”。

但左倾政治行动委员会 316 Action 的主席 Shaughnessy Naughton 则旨在将农民推向办公岗位。

“是时候改变了”

前芝加哥人 Dan Sullivan 对同名的阿拉斯加参议员发起挑战

作者：Rebecca Johnson 芝加哥论坛报

Dan Sullivan 总是觉得与同名的陌生人之间有一种直觉上的联系。与他们见面很有趣，是某种“机缘巧合”。

例如，他说，几年前在芝加哥排队等待 7 / 16 PvCheck 时，他与一名叫 的人交换了家庭故事。一名员工在点名，喊到了 ，他们两人都举起了手。

在南部工业区长大但现在住在 Akalia 的 表示，在面对这片“最后边疆”的初级参议员——也就是另一个 时，他的经历恰恰相反。

“（这位参议员）在制定计划和与公众互动方面有这样一种历史……即如果你不同意我的观点，你就是某个旨在摧毁阿拉斯加的左翼阴谋的一部分，”他告诉《论坛报》。“这对我产生的影响比对其他人要大一些。”

因此，这位表示自己依然支持白袜队和古巴队的 发起了自己的挑战。

芝加哥教育委员会将两项收入问题列入市议会11月选票

作者：Mark Armaniel 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥教育委员会是该委员会，其问题将列入11月选票，以询问城市选民是否支持为芝加哥公立学校（CPS）筹集新收入。

第一项全民公投是关于新伊利诺伊州是否应对百万富翁征收附加税以增加公立学校资金。第二项将询问芝加哥是否应对欠发达或空置地块的收入征收财务处罚，以将资金注入城市。两项问题若获批准，将不会产生附加税，这意味着它们不制定法律，而是作为立法者在做出公共决定时的信号。

这是教育委员会首次行使向选票添加咨询性问题的权力。

“这从根本上说是在于我们如何建立必要的公众支持，使我们的学校从匮乏走向充足，”委员会副主席 Angel Velez 表示，他被任命代表南区的第 104 区。

这些问题是由与芝加哥教师联盟（CTU）结盟且由市长 Brandon Johnson 任命的委员会成员提出的。Johnson 本人曾试图在11月选票中增加三项进步提案。尽管只有一项通过了市议会，议员们拒绝了他的请求，即询问选民是否支持对百万富翁征收 1% 的税。在斯普林菲尔德，一项针对百万富翁的税收决议在众议院民主党人中取得了进展。

芝加哥教育委员会成员至少在进步收入提案中指出，现金参与的城市笑 70% 拥有更高的税收用于当地州改革主义问题，该问题以 12.5 票通过。

“我希望我们将增加资金的责任放置在，”委员会主席表示，委员会成员 Debbi Patez 表示，她代表远北区的办公室。

然而，周四早晨并非没有波折。

起初，选举委员会的单一多数派将针对一个问题采取一项不寻常的举措，随后委员会休会，在六名成员出席的情况下设定了时间限制。未出席的人员包括 Jesus, Biggs, Thomas Bayle, Angel Guterres, Carlos Bross, Elton Rosenthal 和 Cat "Blysmden" Smith。

未出席的选举成员属于一个投票禁令群体，他们通常与 CTU 结盟的多数派分歧。这种分歧在上个月充分显现，当时 CTU 支持的成员通过了一项 105 亿美元预算，其中 1 亿美元用于确认州收入，尽管区领导层对此有报告。年度预算依赖于合同 CPS 来撤销 1,000 多次裁员，这一指令已被证明难以执行。

“这从根本上说是在于我们如何建立必要的公众支持，使我们的学校从匮乏走向充足。”

Jones：Mark Crum 的副主席，被任命代表南区的第 104 区。

在 14 年的学校启动中，官员们表示，如果资金无法落实，可能会使 CPS 容易受到核减的影响。

CTU 支持的委员会成员在周四早晨举行了新闻发布会，指责他们的同事“抵制”改革主义问题。

“我认为更关键的问题是，如果我们需要成员参与到这种百万富翁资金中，而他们却方便地无法出席，我们是否应该愿意这样做。我们投票决定百万富翁是否应该被征税，”被任命的委员会成员 Michelle Blaise 表示，她代表西区的办公室。Blaise 指出了七名接受过百万富翁商人及主要地区（包括 Michael Sacks）竞选捐款的选举成员。

几名未出席的成员告诉《论坛报》，他们此前有工作和家庭事务。根据一封电子邮件，大多数人在周一早晨之前没有收到投票通知。

《芝加哥论坛报》获得的成员资料显示。根据董事会的章程，成员以志愿者身份任职，且应参加所有会议，但允许因业务和个人义务而出现某些例外情况。

代表第 108 区且正在竞选学校董事会主席的 Biggs 表示，董事会做出此决定的意图已经达成，并多次主张董事会一直“充斥着那些和贬低”。 “我认为这将是一个很好的方式，”董事会主席说道，并表示这并非为了这样做。

代表南区第 104 区的 Smith 称最后提出的几分钟为“规划糟糕”，并主张特殊问题“年龄”会产生后果。

董事会成员 Jennifer Custer 是周四唯一对这些提案投反对票的人，她担心这些提案无法为该学区日益严重的预算问题提供即时解决方案。“我们真的应该寻找更多可操作的事情，”她说。

“北线的逻辑很简单：它对现在的孩子有帮助吗？不，我认为这些没有，”Custer 说道，她代表西北区第 104 区，并将在 11 月的选举中竞选董事会主席。

但被任命的董事会主席 Anne Paraleo 主张，在 7 月的预算问题之后，董事会需要探索所有选项。“我们没有奢侈到只能友好地看待某一件事情，”他说道。

体育场

该机构实质上建立了一种公私合作伙伴关系，这是一种体育计划，芝加哥熊队可以在属于或将成为公共所有的土地上建造体育场，以避免该设施的财产税。

自夏季再次在斯普林菲尔德公开讲话以来，麦考利表示，芝加哥熊队在对伊利诺伊州采取双重方案时并没有产生质疑。

“我们认为我们已经提出了一个相当有说服力的论据，即在阿灵顿建造体育场将对阿灵顿高地村、社区以及整个州都非常有益，”麦考利说。“青少年没有任何经济活动就业原因。税收收入。销售收入。最终，那个论点没有成功。”

州长 78 Pritzker 表示，他愿意召开 1976 年年度学校议会的特别会议，以帮助将芝加哥熊队留在伊利诺伊州。Pritzker 周四在斯普林菲尔德表示，他的办公室一直与芝加哥熊队保持联系，且州议会已于 6 月 1 日休会。

但在休会后的 2 / 3 个月里，州长表示，芝加哥熊队收到了一份旨在帮助他们在阿灵顿高地或伊利诺伊州其他地方建造体育场的报价。

“芝加哥熊队在这里的部分工作，当然是与立法者沟通。有些立法者会支持州政府的其中一项或另一项方案。”Pritzker 在一场标志着今年伊利诺伊州博览会开幕的新闻发布会上说道。

“记住，各位，我们在众议院通过了一项法案，我们在参议院通过了一项法案。这些法案没有合并。两项法案之间没有达成共识。我们处于首位，这违背了这些法案的初衷，他们想要一份最终法案，并且当然要获得全州的支持。”

周四的新闻发布会并没有削弱阿灵顿高地官员们的某种期待，即芝加哥熊队可能会将注意力重新转向北侧。

“我今天没听到——电台里有人在讨论——我知道，这将是一个巨大的神话，描述是不必要的。他们将改名为汉蒙德熊队，一切都在全速推进，且前往城市的交通非常便捷，”阿灵顿高地市长 Jim Trough 告诉《每日先驱报》。

Trough 表示，他仍然希望斯普林菲尔德和芝加哥熊队能够就一项法案达成一致，并在截止日期前由州长签署。

“而且，无论是在 11 月、2 月、3 月还是 5 月，我希望能够采取某种行动，将这一进程扭转回阿灵顿高地，”

他补充道。“体育场计划已经拖延了五年多。芝加哥熊队首次宣布竞标购买阿灵顿汉蒙德熊队是在 1976 财年 2025 年。在此期间，球队的重心从阿灵顿高地转移到芝加哥平台，又回到阿灵顿高地，现在则转向印第安纳州北部。”

麦考利拒绝详细阐述今年夏天与伊利诺伊州立法者之间讨论的具体内容。“我们都是成年人，”麦考利说。“我们已经进行了两次对话，我认为不需要纠结谁先给谁打电话。如果有需要进行的深入讨论，那就进行吧。在印第安纳州，他们一直非常积极，沟通非常顺畅，且非常注重解决方案。”

印第安纳州立法者已提交高达 10 亿美元 billion 的资金用于帮助建造体育场，资金将由莱克县和波特县 1% 的食品和饮料税、莱克县 1% 的酒店税、汉蒙德县 12% 的税收、体育场 1% 的税收以及全州特别税区提供。

沃伦也赞扬了印第安纳州内部禁烟禁令的“单一面向”。

“来自印第安纳州的代表，从州长办公室到各代表，一直非常积极，”沃伦说。“与他们的合作非常出色，非常专业。”

麦考利指出

无论熊队是搬到阿灵顿高地还是汉蒙德，该球队都不会将名称从“芝加哥熊队”改为其他名称。

他还表示，他理解伊利诺伊州社会对于球队离开该州可能产生的情绪。

“这将需要一个适应过程，”麦考利说。“但当我行驶在那条路线上时，除了看到指示牌，我根本意识不到自己已经跨过了州界。”

“而且正如熊队所言，一旦人们进入建筑，一旦他们获得同样的体验，并且意识到我们的顶级物业将是一个世界级的体育场扩建项目，我们认为我们将能适应。我们认为熊队的球迷们能够接受这一点。”

尽管沃伦拒绝提供熊队希望何时在新体育场动工或何时可能开业的时间表。“我的妻子在大约六个月前告诉我，不要再给出任何目标日期——他再次表示，新体育场的建设每延迟一年，”就意味着损失大约 20-million 或如此之多。熊队拥有在士兵球场继续驻扎至 2035 年的租约。

在承认该州可能会“耐心等待”或“采取行动”的同时，沃伦强调了达成协议的必要性。

“现在就是时机，”他说。“是时候给这件事画上句号了。”

审判律师竞选学校董事会主席

维克多·亨德森表示，稳定学区的财务状况并设立常设委员会将是他的优先事项

作者：杰森·阿曼尼尔 (Jason Armanier) 芝加哥论坛报

为什么一名资深审判律师要担任一个没有薪水的职位，领导芝加哥的学校董事会？

维克多·亨德森 (Victor Henderson)，一名律师，指出了他在 Urban Prep Academies 董事会任职的经历。这家陷入困境的特许学校网络在 2023 年因涉嫌财务管理不善和性行为不端而处于状态。

但亨德森表示，他现在看到了 Urban Prep 的另一面，该机构在南区两所高中为黑人男孩提供教育。他回忆起一名学生说，这所学校“改变了他的生活”。他在一场新闻发布会上与其他黑人商业和公民领袖站在一起，呼吁市政厅停止干预。

“我问管理人员，‘怎么会这样？有人这么喜欢它吗？关于这件事，是否可以与我的商量解决？’他们告诉我。”亨德森说道。

“我一直不明白，但你们确实如此。我认为遗憾的是，其他人将太多的政治带入了系统。市政厅谈论得太多，谈论谁支持市长，而关于学生的希望谈论得远远不够。”

亨德森是竞选教育委员会主席的候选人之一。同样参与竞选的董事会成员包括詹姆斯·比格斯 (James Biggs) 和詹妮弗·卡特 (Jennifer Carter)，芝加哥教师工会主席主任希拉里奥·多明格斯 (Hilario Dominguez) 以及前董事会任命成员桑迪尔·巴韦拉尼 (Sandhil Bavelani)。

在众多候选人中，亨德森可以说是芝加哥教育界最不为人知的人物。他表示这可能是一项资产，作为一名局外人，他希望为这个正与不断增加的结构性赤字、停滞不前的测试成绩和令人不安的入学率作斗争的系统带来新鲜视角。

这场竞选正演变为 11 月选举中最激烈的竞争之一。历史上首次，教育委员会全部 21 个席位都将由选举产生——此前，董事会由任命成员组成。董事会主席与 CPS 首席执行官马科格林·金 (Macogline King) 密切合作以制定学区政策，在很大程度上决定哪些事项提交投票。

亨德森表示，如果当选，他的优先事项将是稳定学区的财务并设立常设委员会——这是一个他的对手们并支持的模型。董事会的继续在学生成功、运营和财务方面扩展，但尚未正式建立更多委员会。

他将学区 101.1 亿美元 billion 的修订预算称为“必须”且“”，该预算包含 1,000 million 尚未到位的额外州政府资金。

最近的预算已成为竞选中的关键分歧点，董事会成员比格斯和卡特对该预算投了反对票，

周三在卢普区（the Loop）的维克多·亨德森，一名竞选芝加哥公立学校董事会主席的审判律师。 亨利·J·昆茨 (HENRY J. KUNTZ), 芝加哥论坛报

巴韦拉尼也投了反对票。获得 CTS 支持的多明格斯是唯一一名的候选人。

“CPS 存在财务危机，预算危机，而我是这场竞选中唯一一个以此为框架的人，”亨德森说。他曾是一名执业注册会计师，他回忆道。

亨德森的四个成年子女都是 CPS 的毕业生，他的父母和也是。他住在南区的摩根公园 (Morgan Park)。他在 2011 年创立了自己的律师事务所 Henderson Parks，并代表过广泛的高知名度客户和民选官员，包括前 AM 威廉姆斯研究主任、州代表多萝西·史密斯 (Dorothy Smith)。

他的律所目前有两起针对 CPS 的诉讼。在其中一起诉讼中，亨德森代表一组家庭，指控一名特殊教育教师身体虐待学生。在另一起诉讼中，他代表一名在小学癫痫发作后死亡的 10 岁男孩的家属。

亨德森强调，如果当选，他将放弃参与任何针对芝加哥公立学校（CPS）的诉讼。

“我的正直和名誉对我来说意义重大，”亨德森表示。“对我而言，某种程度的情感和尊重是CPS的财务状况。我很乐意将其应用于我身上。”

根据州政府记录，亨德森在资金竞争中也大幅领先，上个月手头持有 $500,000 现金。这一优势很大程度上源于他向自己的竞选活动提供的 $500,000 贷款。他几乎所有其他的捐款都来自个人。巴韦拉尼（Bavelani）手头持有 $500,000，紧随其后的是比格斯（Biggs）和卡特（Carter），分别持有 $321,000 和 $213,000。多明格斯（Dominguez）在上次申报期间未报告任何捐款，但他记录了来自CTS的近 $100,000 的实物捐赠。

亨德森表示，他希望在竞选期间以及如果当选为董事会主席后，将重点放在两个利益相关者身上：儿童和管理人员。但他补充说，每个人“都应该在桌上占有一席之地”。

“我将把我的技能从捐赠者那里转移到学校中，”亨德森说道。

向麦库克市长行贿的承包商被判刑

作者：Jason Meltzer 芝加哥论坛报

一名前郊区承包商被判处五年缓刑。该人因向腐败的麦库克（McCook）市长杰夫·托博尔斯基（Jeff Tobolski）行贿以换取该村的承包合同而被判刑。

在开庭期间，市级法院法官艾吉德·佩里（Aged Perry）指出，自案件启动以来的七年里，克里姆塔（Krimta）在联邦检察官处理其案件的过程中表现得较为困难。

但法官还指出，他在促成托博尔斯基的腐败行为中扮演了角色，既支付贿赂，又代表该市长从其他承包商那里收取敲诈款项。

“显然，我们在伊利诺伊州面临很多公职人员收受贿赂的问题，”佩里说。“如果这些人中没有一个充当中间人来传递贿赂，这些问题就不会持续存在。”

克里姆塔在今年早些时候承认了一项去年行贿的指控。佩里法官命令现居住在纽约州奥尔巴尼（Albany, New York）的克里姆塔在 2017 年的一项 10 年期工作中执行缓刑。佩里命令其支付 10,000 美元的罚金，约 50,000 美元的承包款，并每年服务 100 小时社区服务，接受法院监督。在陈述中，佩里还表示，克里姆塔此前在董事会中的危机令她感到不安，且并非相对轻微，其中至少涉及一名电池承包商。“这与此次公共腐败有关。”

“你觉得袭击一名女性并报出市长的名字，说你不会被抓住，这样很自在，”佩里说。“我对这件事告诉了她。”法官似乎是在提及克里姆塔 2020 年的一起建筑维护袭击事件。他还提到 3 / 8 / 2020，以及 2010 年在勒穆特（Lemoot）的一场高尔夫出游和在照明中心（illimination's center）举行的筹款活动。

根据法院记录，麦库克的一名前经理指控克里姆塔从背后袭击她并试图从她的后口袋中拿走手机。记录显示，当受害者抗议时，克里姆塔涉嫌抓住受害者的手，在活动现场说：“我是不可触碰的。我总能得到我想要的。”

克里姆塔在那个案件中认罪，并在库克县监狱被关押了六天。

针对克里姆塔的案件源于一场针对芝加哥西郊腐败行为的调查风暴，该调查导致包括托博尔斯基以及其他几位郊区市长、州议员、政治运作人员和商人在内的十多人落马。

克里姆塔原来自韦斯顿斯普林斯（Weston Springs），是托博尔斯基的朋友，在他的公司 Rasmussen Associates 经营期间，该公司承担了麦库克村的大部分项目。

根据他与检察官签署的 16 页协议，克里姆塔同意在 2016 年将向麦库克开具账单的任何工程款的 5% 回扣给托博尔斯基，以换取市长对其新业务的高额资金支持。协议指出，在约八年的时间里，克里姆塔作为协议的一部分向托博尔斯基支付了约 125,000 美元。

在同一时期，克里姆塔还代表托博尔斯基从他人那里收取了约 40,000 美元的贿赂和敲诈款项。协议指出，在与麦库克的八项交易中，克里姆塔将其中约 50,000 美元的款项据为己有。

协议指出，在 2017 年的纳税申报单上，克里姆塔申报的净收入为 212,000 美元，尽管他的总收入（包括约 4,000 美元的犯罪活动所得）超过了 400,000 美元。

协议还指出，克里姆塔在另外三年的纳税申报单中低报了收入，漏报了因其为邻近的拉斯穆森（Rasmussen）村税务经理工作而收到的贿赂款。

克里姆塔的名字出现在当地政府的令状中，FBI 在 2019 年作为托博尔斯基调查的一部分，查获了麦库克村的账单。

当时，Krimta 刚刚完成了位于 McCook 体育与人口中心（McCook Athletic & Kippulation Center）设施内 Alta Grill 餐厅的大规模翻修，该设施被称为 The Max。记录显示，FBI 的搜查令旨在寻找并允许访问有关 The Max 项目的访客信息，以及在该处举办的“拉丁之夜”（Latino Nights）活动的资料。

Krimta 当时也被起诉。

现已被拘留的 Toobolski 在 2020 年 9 月承认与 McCook 当时的公共主管 Mario DuPasquale 共谋，为 The Max 的一名度假场所所有者提供便利，该所有者需要获得在村庄拥有的财产上举办供应酒精饮料活动的许可。当时，Tobolski 在 McCook 的酒类公司担任残疾职员。

总计，同时也是 McCounty 市政罪人的 Tobolski 承认在多年间接受了超过 25 万美元的贿赂或自愿付款。

“显然，我们在伊利诺伊州面临很多公职人员收受贿赂的问题。”

“如果不是因为像你这样的人充当中间人，这些问题就不会持续存在。”

美国地区法官 APRIL FRIBY

他还获得了各种其他好处，包括现金、标志、舞蹈、节日礼物、体育赛事门票以及免费的空调设备，这些设备由一名未具名的开发商安装在 Tobolski 的家中，费用为 $10,000。

Tobolski 被判处四年监禁，原定于 1 月报到。然而，他去年秋天病重，并于 11 月去世，就在针对 Krimta 的指控提出两天后。

在被送往 The City 之前，Krimta 站在讲台上，在阅读简短的陈述时多次哽咽，为自己的行为道歉，称这些行为是在药物阴影、一些庆祝活动以及几次服用导致“完全失去自我”的情况下完成的。

“我已经尽我所能进行弥补，并将继续这样做，”他说。联邦指南要求最高可判处 16 个月的监禁。考虑到健康问题，检察官对于他是否应该服刑未采取立场，但表示他对其行为表现出了安静的支持。

“将他的腐败行为归咎于 Tobolski 及其交易和药物成瘾，不能成为他多年选择从事犯罪行为的借口，”美国助理检察官 William Hogan 在最近的一份量刑文件中写道。

Krimta 的律师 Josh Herman 表示，当他近七年前第一次见到 Krimta 时，那个指令“是一个完整且简单的方式”，并补充说他现在已经变得更加成熟，并且“走出了他曾经身处的那个极其黑暗的地方”。

Herman 还表示，Krimta 正在为陷入 Tobolski 腐败的“漩涡”而付出代价。

“没有任何价格值得与非法且腐败的权力相邻，”Herman 说。“从内部来看（人类的污秽），他是自觉地做出的。一旦他接近那种权力并且其中一部分影响到了他，他就没能脱身。他本应该脱身的，但他没有，他对此承担责任。”

谢德水族馆从加拿大救助另外四头白鲸

作者：芬尼根·布洛斯 (Finnegan Bullous) 芝加哥论坛报

在近期的一波国际救援行动中，上周四上午，又有四头白鲸从格林山站抵达谢德水族馆。

根据水族馆的一份新闻稿，与上个月搬到谢德水族馆的前一组四头白鲸一样，这些白鲸全部为成年雌性。在后台监测健康状况的同时，首批 10,000 人已被召集至几处住所。

共有 30 头鲸鱼正从加拿大马里兰乐园（Marineland of Canada）被撤离，该乐园是位于安大略省尼亚加拉瀑布的一家已关闭的海洋公园。根据此前的一份新闻稿，马里兰乐园的所有者曾威胁要对这些白鲸实施安乐死。谢德水族馆的工作人员此前希望救助 10 头鲸鱼，仅剩两名男性被留待转移至芝加哥。

美国和西班牙的设施计划接收接下来的外国白鲸。根据官方新闻稿，在最近的一次行动中，水族馆释放了两头白鲸，在前往迈阿密之前在芝加哥停留。

谢德水族馆共产公民副总裁约翰尼·福特 (Johnny Ford) 此前表示，栖息地的建设是为了容纳比目前“多得多”的动物，并且在转移 28 500 个插件后，这些设施可能还能容纳更多动物。在救援行动之前，水族馆已有八头白鲸生活在此。

根据新闻稿，新到白鲸的名字分别是 Caspian、Perkache、Rain 和 Sennel。它们的年龄在 20 到 27 岁之间。每一头都有其独特的特征：例如，Perkache 的右眼失去功能，而它的颈部 / neptors 向前移动，在栖息地周围用嘴短促地活动。

根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，白鲸在全球的北极和亚北极海域均有分布。许多分布在阿拉斯加附近。

部分白鲸种群处于濒危或减少状态。这些鲸鱼平均重量 5,000 磅，一直处于自然生存、维持生计、商业和运动状态。

7 月下旬，当地兽医兼谢德水族馆动物健康副总裁卡里娜·坦兹 (Karina Tanz) 表示，剩余的白鲸救助工作将在接下来的几周内进行。水族馆尚未向相关人员公布更具体的时间表，包括这些救助何时进行，以及这些鲸鱼何时向公众开放。

四头从加拿大设施转移而来的白鲸，于 7 月 23 日被安置在芝加哥绿水族馆的一个栖息地中。据现场科学家称，这些鲸鱼一直处于无干预时钟观察之下。 约翰·J·金 (JOHN J. KIM) / 芝加哥论坛报

服务

来自安格利亚街（Anglia St.）

他的家人和朋友举行了他们一直渴望的葬礼。他终于得到了安息。

“道别依然如此艰难，”他的姐姐安吉拉·杨（Angela Young）在服务过程中短暂地站起来向在场悲痛的人们讲话，她哽咽着说道，“直到我们再次相见，你将永远在我心中。我爱你，基思。”

当她回到座位上时，她拥抱了另一个兄弟。他们紧紧相拥，前后摇晃。

“对不起，”安吉拉·杨对他说道，“对不起。”

基思·艾伦·杨（Keith Allen Young）于7月26日去世，享年68岁。根据其讣告，他出生于库克县（Cook County）Thursher，与四个姐妹和两个兄弟在西区长大。他曾担任车库门安装工，以敬业、可靠和强烈的职业道德而著称。他的亲人回忆道，他结了婚，热爱家庭，并且拥有一种能让周围每个人都开心地感染性幽默感。

“他对什么都能笑出来，”基思最好的朋友凯文·皮特曼（Kevin Pittman）在周四的服务结束后在室外说道，“我和他在一起的时候，没有什么是不好玩的。”

两人在青少年时期住在西区同一个街区时相识。基思·杨是皮特曼在任何事情上都可以求助的人。在皮特曼第一个孩子出生时，基思就在身边，甚至还陪他去了医院。

这两个朋友最后一次交谈是在杨去世的那天。皮特曼打电话问他是否想出来聚聚，但他说他要去参加一个婴儿洗礼派对（baby shower）。皮特曼告诉朋友他以后再找他。

“这就是我的‘以后’，”皮特曼说道。

他将思念他的朋友。“我只是很高兴这件事终于结束了，”他说，“我们现在只能一天一天地过。”

一周前，在收到一份关于遗体未被妥善存放的投诉后，官员们在南芝加哥礼拜堂（South Chicago Chapel）发现了50具正在腐烂的尸体。

基思·杨的家人和朋友周四在东加菲尔德公园聚集参加他的葬礼服务。

这一发现立即引起了人们对该殡仪馆所有者的审查。这些所有者此前经营过一家南郊的通勤设施，该设施在2020年3月被关闭，当时在那里发现了300多具存放不当的遗体。这也引发了一场监管层面的相互指责，因为来自全市和全州多个机构的官员试图弄清楚发生了什么以及哪些系统失效了。

杨家最初计划在一周前为基思举行瞻仰仪式，并在次日举行葬礼。他们雇佣了南芝加哥礼拜堂来处理相关服务。但随着瞻仰仪式的临近，家人感到不安。他们给殡仪馆主管打电话，主管告诉他们社区内有警察活动导致道路封锁，但她承诺会把基思送到。

然而，他的遗体却在当局从南芝加哥礼拜堂回收的遗体之中。

次日早晨，亲人们聚集在库克县法医办公室外，存放不当的遗体在夜间被运送到了那里。在等待答案时，家人们手牵手祈祷。

“这本该是我最后一次能见到他的机会，”基思的妹妹德雅·杨（Deja Young）在距离近西区办公室几步之遥的地方告诉《芝加哥论坛报》。当时，她不知道那次道别是否永远失去了。

但德雅表示，周四的服务帮助她面对了这次失去。

“我的大脑无法理解这件事。我无法理解，”她说，“但这给了我很多慰藉。”

红白相间的花朵簇拥着摆在小教堂前方的基思·杨的棺材旁。赞美诗、致辞和音乐填满了这一个小时。

“现在，我们生活在心碎的时代，”詹姆斯·希克斯（James Hicks）牧师感慨道。“但你知道经上说，‘愿恩典与你们同在’。你们可以在这里获得恩典。我想你们都渴望恩典。在患难之时，你们可以拥有恩典。”

克雷珊娜·布鲁克斯·罗杰斯（Kreshanna Brooks Rogers）非常细心地确保葬礼的每一个环节都得到了妥善处理。杨家在收到法医办公室关于基思的遗体可以释放的消息后，于周末联系了这位资深的殡葬指导员。她很荣幸能由她的殡仪馆——布鲁克斯纪念礼拜堂（Brooks Memorial Chapel）来办理他的新服务。

“这让我更加渴望，”布鲁克斯·罗杰斯说，“去纠正一个错误。”

A细雨 超过20年，布鲁克斯·罗杰斯说，她尝试将她服务的每个家庭都像对待自己的家人一样对待。

“你应该全心全意，”她说。“你被授予了为他们挚爱之人做最后准备的荣誉职责。”

但这一次，情况格外私人化，布鲁克斯·罗杰斯认识基思·杨。虽然起初她并不知情，但在为他的遗体准备瞻仰仪式时，她意识到他们几年前曾有过交集。他们是在西区的一家加油站偶然相遇并一起玩老虎机的。她从未知道他的姓氏。她回忆说，他以前经常拿她当母亲这件事开玩笑。

当她本周为他的家人准备遗体时，她确保回敬了他一次。“看吧！”她记得对自己对他说道。“我终究还是有机会来打扮你了！”

葬礼结束后，他的兄弟姐妹表示，他们很感激能完成这些仪式。

“被推迟就意味着愈合被延迟了，”基思的哥哥莱姆勒·杨（Laemmle Young）说。“但现在，我们就像是走在了那条（愈合的）道路上。”

基思的妹妹斯特凡妮·杨（Stephanie Young）说，她的家人“只要能找回他的遗体就很开心”。她补充说，看到这么多人聚集在一起纪念他的生命，对他们来说意味着全世界。

然而，这依然是一种苦涩且……

他的安葬因周二的风暴再次被推迟。Hinch 在他的住宅瞻仰仪式之前，亲人们被告知，他们计划将他安葬的南郊墓地在转移后将无法将其安葬，因为天气影响了他们的设施。

周四早晨的一次墓地工作人员电话确认，周二有一场风暴席卷了他们的场地，目前处于关闭状态，因为数十棵倒下的树木和电线正在被清理。

安吉拉·杨（Angela Young）说，他们的家人仍在寻求答案。她说，他们还没有收到任何民选官员的消息。她不需要委员会。

“我只是不希望基思被忽视，”她说。

Itches 在周四的安葬，亲人们在教堂聚集以显示一个新！Fling 进入教堂大厅楼下的一间房间，家人和朋友们坐在铺着白布的桌旁，每张桌子上都摆着粉色花卉的中心装饰品。Ram Maved 当夏季的暴雨在室外持续时，房间里充满了低声的交谈。

与此同时，基思的兄弟姐妹表示，他们仍在等待一个新的安葬日期，以便最终能让他们的兄弟安息。

当然，他们会等待的。

市长称芝加哥将全额预付 2.6亿美元 养老金

作者：Jake Sheridan 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥市长布伦丹·约翰逊（Brendan Johnson）周四表示，该市将继续推进全额 2.6亿美元 的补充养老金支付。

约翰逊承诺支付这笔款项——旨在削减该市巨额的未足额养老金负债——在芝加哥税收交换税税税请求市政厅的高级单次削减并非“其财政观点。其全额净租金现在是要通过支付该款项来平衡该市的下一个预算。”

“让我再次强调，我想考虑该市的下一个预算，”这位今年预算补充养老金支付的第二人说道，“是告诉

投资者群体。‘由于县政府房产税的延迟，这是一个何时支付的问题，而不是是否支付的问题。’

这一承诺为 2.6亿美元 支付款项的争端增加了另一个，且可能是最后一个章节，该款项已成为约翰逊与市议会之间争论的关键点。

市长在去年 10 月的最初预算提案中建议支付较少的 3.2亿美元，但议员们认为该金额对于该市陷入困境的养老金基金来说没有效果，并警告说较小的金额可能会引发信用评级下调。约翰逊反对，但议员们违背市长意愿通过了一项包含全额支付的预算。

约翰逊在 1 月宣布，市政府仅支付了该款项的一半，同时承诺在今年晚些时候支付剩余的 1.8亿美元。

此举导致议员们质疑市长是否会遵守他们通过的预算。所有，bansmills，Nugent，39th，甚至在一次胜利期间推动了一项全民公投，探讨芝加哥是否应在每年第一季度缴纳养老金，尽管该提案随后陷入停滞。

在周四的一份声明中，Nugent 表示，市长反对议员们在预算中加入预付养老金的努力。

“这次支付看起来像几个月以来并不是一次庆祝——而是一个提醒，即需要我们联盟的持续压力才能促成行动，”Nugent 说。“这不是领导力

这是可以做到的。”

上个月，市预算高级官员告诉议员，由于库克县向该市支付款项延迟，他们正在分析何时以及可以支付多少剩余金额。政府看到了由司库玛丽亚·佩珀（Maria Pepper）办公室处理的移交。

随着周四的宣布，约翰逊旨在将问题放在这里——

“我们能够做到这一切是因为我们拥有远见，但我们也拥有关于财政管理、财务规划以及大量内部且敬业的公职人员来执行这两者的正确要素，”他说。

该市代理首席财务官布伦丹·怀特（Brendan White）表示，该市现在预付，首先

由前市长洛里·莱特纳（Lori Lightner）政府做出，因为这笔钱现在来自该市的运营预算。他说，此前这笔钱是在每年年初使用现有现金支付的。

预付款“对我来说非常有益”，有利于该市的养老金基金，并在经济衰退的情况下防止“灾难性”损害。怀特说，今天花费的资金在未来价值 $2。

“我们一直为此制定预算，”他说。“我们没有在快速地向财务最佳实践靠拢，并尽一切努力确保该市的长期财务实力。”

约翰逊政府采取了不转行的步骤，相当于去年的年度会议，

但允许市长的成员参加市长会议。

“在他周四下午晚些时候讲话时，约翰逊没有暗示他在 10 月提交该市下一个预算时可能会提出什么。他再次选择：‘从城市到城市，或对云计算软件、社交媒体公司和体育设施征收跨税。’”

他提出了一个面临法律挑战的答案，然后他说什么有效。

“结构性的进展甚至更多，有助于确保这座城市的新系统能与劳动人民共享，”他说。“因为当我们的地方政府在我们的新系统中投入更多时，我们需要让我们的社区受益，从而让我们的整个经济变得更强。”

萨利文 (SULLIVAN)

来自 Faga A

一场有些不寻常的参议院竞选活动。他在阿拉斯加已经生活了近 30 年，在下周二的初选之前，他希望向他的邻居们强调，现任的 GDR 不应该出现在国会的任何地方。他同样是以共和党人的身份参选。

这是一场充满争议的竞争，有人说这引起了含蓄的关注，以及一个容易被误认的名字。随着美国参议院的控制权面临公众抉择，共和党希望维持其多数席位。像他这样的捐赠候选人在阿拉斯加某种程度上正处于领先地位。专家表示，一旦出现微小的变动，就可能会产生影响。

“在总统选举方面，阿拉斯加倾向于成为一个摇摆州，但它在空中，其特点似乎非常看重自身的政治独立性，”芝加哥大学政治学教授吉姆·罗戈夫斯基 (Jim Rogowski) 表示。

萨姆·巴尔·萨利文 (Sam Barr Sullivan)：阿拉斯加 2.0, 参议院竞选者，与寻求连任的现任者同名，7 月 4. 日在阿拉斯加州彼得斯堡与比尔·培根 (Bill Bacon) 交谈时大笑。BECKY BOWERS / AP

[版面噪声，已略]

一位共和党人的新愿景

当现任共和党人做出苏利文（Sullivan）不同意的投票或声明时，他说这深深地影响了他。他说，部分原因是由于他们共有同一个姓氏而产生的一种依恋感。苏利文认为，他的对手对社区以及其选民的负责程度不足。

他认为对方的措辞过于激进。他还指责该参议员过于倾向于增加国会对总统的权力。

苏利文表示，他多年来一直以开玩笑的方式巡回宣传竞选公职。但苏利文说，最近的新闻趋势是由基于阿拉斯加的民主党人制造的，他特别不满该参议员对唐纳德·特朗普总统“反-woop-营养”基金的沉默。他希望专注于降低能源和住房成本。

“共和党可以有一种愿景，去解决——比仅仅针对阿拉斯加基地的‘新烟草’更多人的需求，”苏利文说。虽然他不是一名资深政治家，但他表示，在过去的两年里，他拥有多种类似的经验使他具备资格。“我认为我们看到这些公职人员脱离了专业领域。我只是两个孩子的父亲，以及一名曾经的志愿者。”

现任参议员丹·苏利文（Dan Sullivan）未能就本文发表评论，但他此前曾表示，另一个苏利文的竞选是一次不诚实的尝试，旨在误导选民。他指责他的对手，前民主党美国众议员玛丽·贝茨（Mary Bates），没有阻止这一计划。

阿拉斯加采用一种特殊的制度，得票最多的前几名候选人有资格进入11月的通用大选。选票共有 16 名候选人。

根据美联社报道，该参议员在谈到另一个丹·苏利文时说：“阿拉斯加的所有人都知道我是丹·苏利文。他试图这样做，是为了什么？”“他不是一个 E。他故意试图通过这次选举来冒风险，以利于 Pebble。”

Pebble 竞选活动的发言人哈里·查尔德（Harry Child）以及该州民主党的发言人均否认参与其中。苏利文也否认与他们有任何接触。

苏利文此前注册为阿拉斯加独立党成员。但由于该党现已解散，苏利文说他会被标记为“未声明”。因此，他在申请竞选公职时注册为共和党人。

他认为自己倾向于中间派，带有自由意志主义色彩，并表示他绝对不是民主党人。他也知道自己的选择会引发与该参议员的政治对比。

“我选择共和党是因为我想向参议员发起挑战，”他说。“共和党有一个位置，而且他们不必成为唐纳德·特朗普的政党。他们拥有有价值的理念。这些是我在成长过程中在家庭中看到的典范。”

一场关于选票的争斗

接下来的一个星期，双方就萨利文在选票上的呈现方式，以及他是否完全不配合展开了争斗。

阿拉斯加州选举局曾在6月份试图取消他的资格。他对此提起诉讼。阿拉斯加州最高法院判定他可以参选，但选举局可以决定他的姓名具体如何列出。

在“Dental of Sullivan Jr.”的选举中，共和党的党派标识未被列出，而这位参议员被标注为现任者。这是一个日期，甚至萨利文也表示他并不完全同意，但他希望结束第一场昂贵的诉讼并专注于议题。他说他不打算选择另一位候选人。如果他知道

“有其他10个人在参选，而且因为名字不同而带来的运气或糟糕情况，那么他们是否应该被允许参选是没有疑问的，”他说。“但因为我的名字，”他坚持认为这被适用了一个完全不同的标准。”他还主张他的阿拉斯加同胞们是一群相当

相同的人，并提及他在2020年的法律。Manihowick的互联网写就竞选胜利。他说他认为五十岁的人在历史课上学到，提前成为一名知情选民是他们的责任。

“我认为大多数选民，绝大多数选民会明白的，”他说。

芝加哥大学教授罗戈夫斯基表示，抗议者往往是许多选民的低意向控制，这意味着该州的后伙伴关系或现任身份成为了引导。他怀疑选票上全名的区分将消除大部分模糊之处。

“最著名的名为罗戈夫斯基的候选人的名字是什么，这并不意味着这是唯一的情况。”

他提到了1996年在弗吉尼亚州的选举。现任弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·沃纳（Mark Warner）在共和党人的姓名中不必要地出现。第一任华盛顿参议员马克斯·沃纳（Max Warner）说“是马克，不是约翰”。（两人之间没有亲属关系。）

“现任者仍然是一个开放的问题，即这场竞争是否比人们预期的更激烈，”因为一些选民在投票时并不确定约翰和马克·沃纳之间的区别。

罗戈夫斯基说，一个更大的问题可能是，他是否在会议期间或一名“现任者”会导致一项禁止“反-woop-营养”法案的禁令，在这种情况下，选民可能处于一种反现任者的情绪中。

同样来自该校的拉西巴尔·巴宾（Rathibale Babin）定义了州或专业人士，她是该州“历史上不受欢迎”的一员。这是一个赌注，一些共和党人可能希望进入该党以寻求不同的方向。

“我们倾向于认为中期选举是一个衡量总统表现的机会。我们通过你来决定国会议员，”她说。

但她说，目前仍不清楚谁将受益或被剥夺，因为关于名字的讨论太多了。

“候选人越是争论名字，他们讨论议题就越少，”她说。

愿意成为那个机会

当萨利文决定参选时，他预料到自己的名字会引起更多关注。而那场反对“woop-nutrition”的活动则让他完全措手不及。

起初，他将其称为“一次压倒性的但相当严苛的打击”。出现了大量的销售、评论，甚至连吉米·法伦也参与其中。然而，当他被移出选票时，情况变得更加糟糕。他说他发现该州的“不像，而这正是他开展大部分竞选活动的地方”。

最终他说，他希望能带来改变，并为年轻人的光明未来而奋斗。在总结竞选活动时，他说他希望编辑看起来不像是不够充分的。

如果他下周能进入前四名，他说他将成为第一个做到这一点的人。他说他会继续前进。如果他没能进入前列，他将回去计划他的下一次芝加哥之行。

“这场竞选已经持续了几年，”他说。“是时候做出改变了。如果我的信息能引起人们的共鸣，我愿意成为那个改变。”

沙拉的糟糕之夏

父母们对于让孩子吃一两样蔬菜的持久斗争再熟悉不过了。

而这个夏天，他们自己也在经历这场斗争。就在几周前，每一口绿叶菜都伴随着对环丙基酸（cyclopropionic）的恐惧，在许多人意识到这种寄生虫会导致令人不堪的胃部问题之前，我们对此一直处于幸福的无知状态。

截至 8 月 5 日，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）报告称，在与 Taylor Farms de Mexico 生产的冰山生菜相关的环丙基酸爆发事件中，有 200 例感染、210 例住院和 2 例死亡。该公司在 7 月中旬召回了所有源自墨西哥中部的冰山生菜。被召回的生菜被分销并销售给至少 27 个州的消费者、餐厅和零售商，包括 Taco Bell 门店和部分沃尔玛（Walmart）门店的 Marketside 生产商。

如果你不幸受到了这次召回的影响，我深表同情，并希望你已康复。目前看来，我们可以重新平静地享受我们的切片沙拉、楔形沙拉和凯撒沙拉了。

现在进入 8 月，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）警告美国人不要“食用、提供或销售由 Coast Citrus Distributors 分销的、来自墨西哥锡那罗亚州的被召回新鲜哈拉佩纽辣椒（jalapeños）”以及使用这些辣椒制成的产品，因为这些产品被水杨酸盐（salicylates）污染。在 Whole Foods 购买了被召回的 faba Ponce 或 faba Bolo，在沃尔玛购买了 provide galle，或在塔吉特（Target）购买了 Taylor Farms gas canals 的消费者，如果还没有处理，应该将这些物品扔进垃圾桶。

我们能快点进入 9 月吗？ 在这里，你竟然会发现自己害怕沙拉，恐惧 gas canals，甚至害怕 around sales。

尤其是在一年之中这么多最美味的农产品正值时节的时候。

在我们看来，这些事件说明了一件非同寻常的事情，即美国高度互联的食品供应链的脆弱性，其中一个种植园或供应商的问题可以产生惊人的深远影响。

这些故事引发的焦虑人数肯定远超实际患病的人数。我们认识很多朋友，在得知欧洲的情况后，一段时间内无法强迫自己吃沙拉。

对于这种恐惧，一个更乐观的排解方式是在季节结束前，更频繁地光顾农贸市场。从 With Street 到 Andromerillo，再到 Dalar Plaza 和 the Parks，有涵盖工作日和周末的广泛选择，在另一个芝加哥季节消失之前，仍有充足的时间享受当地种植的农产品。

而对于那些感到特别有雄心的人，还可以尝试城市园艺。

希望 9 月在农产品领域不再带来任何令人惊恐的消息，除了每年都会意识到你买的量远超所需。在那之前，请清洗你的蔬菜，并且也许在午餐前不要立即阅读 FDA 的召回页面。

7 月 14 日，在芝加哥北塔基大道（North Tuckey's Avenue）2400 街区的 Low Unit Market 农贸市场，人们正在挑选和销售园艺生菜。 CHRIS DREDA / COHCAIO TRIBUNE

10年前的今天

教师联盟

在成立之初，教师联盟拥有一个被大学认可的目标。公立学校的教师们被要求为地方政府——以及政府提供的税收和税收分配——做出牺牲。他们被要求服从——与其说是要求，不如说是被命令——削减薪资，以便学校能够维持在对其而言不足的拨款额度之内。

教师联盟随之组织起来，凭借组织的凝聚力，成功实现了教学队伍中的个人可能徒劳尝试去做的事情。它促成了对某些税收滥用行为的纠正，并为社会组织中最重要的工作者提供了保护。

它赋予了教师有组织扩张的正当性，并在学校管理中变得强大。这类组织往往有一种变得以自我为中心的倾向。一个类似的例子可以提到联合警察组织。当时那个政策组织在 mid-Secane 实例中是为了城市的最佳利益。它体现了一种危险的学说，即公共服务人员可以为了自身利益而攻击公众。对这种理论的容忍是不可能的。持有任何反对意见，与持有一个涉及第三项职责为喂养、并通过政治手段实现其目标的反对意见相比，并没有好到哪里去。

现在的问题是，教师联盟是否已变得如此沉溺于自我，以至于它主要（如果不是排他地）考虑其成员的福利，而日益忽视教师为社区提供的服务。如果社区忽视这项服务，那将是令人遗憾的；而如果教师忘记教育工作对社区的重要性，则将更加遗憾。

Discover 的南区呼叫中心目前在 Capital One 的裁员潮中幸存。但如果征收人头税会怎样？

由于 Capital One 去年收购了信用卡发行商 Discover Financial Services，北郊地区的裁员潮仍在持续。

本周早些时候， 宣布将从 之前的 Riverwood 总部再裁减 243 名员工。根据《格兰特芝加哥商业》（Grant's Chicago Business）报道，包括此次新裁员在内，在过去的 10 个月里， 已在伊利诺伊州裁减了近 1,500 个工作岗位，超过了 此前在该地员工总数的五分之一。

虽然银行中高薪的白领岗位正在被大幅削减，但 从 那里继承的位于芝加哥市内的庞大员工队伍在很大程度上幸免于难。其中最显著的是呼叫中心。 在市区的 Chatham 社区开设了该中心，部分空间由一家废弃的 Target 门店改造而成。

在 2024 年 2 月宣布 交易时表示，将保留在两年前刚刚开设的 Chatham 运营点。该项目代表了数十年来芝加哥企业界在芝加哥南区最重大的投资之一。 当时的首席执行官 Roger the Sochall 在当时将此举描述为“通过基础设施投资、就业和慈善支持，在我们自己的家乡激发消除系统性种族主义的动力”。

优先从该社区及周边地区招聘人员，以填补其创造的 1,000 个工作岗位。一名 发言人表示，这些呼叫中心员工的大多数仍是南区居民。

因此，具有讽刺意味的是，市长 Brandon Johnson 持续呼吁对芝加哥员工人数在 100 人或以上的私营部门雇主征收每月每人 $33 的税款，这将惩罚 对南区的持续承诺——每年将增加近 $400,000 的成本。这将是 为在就业匮乏的城区雇佣如此多员工而付出的代价。

与 不同， 并非本地企业，这也是为什么它觉得可以随意削减这么多北郊岗位的部分原因。在企业并购的世界里，外地买家寻求削减成本，以帮助覆盖完成交易所需的股价溢价，而这些削减通常主要以卖方为代价。 位于弗吉尼亚州麦克莱恩（McLean, Virginia）的总部正与芝加哥南区形成对比。

任何心智正常的人都会想，为什么要向一家在城市中成本如此之高、以至于像 Walmart、Target 和 Walgreens 这样的零售巨头都关闭了多家门店的地区，不遗余力地创造经济机会的本地公司收购方，发送如此负面的信号？事实上，Walmart 在今年早些时候关闭了位于 Chatham 且紧邻 呼叫中心的一家门店。

而且，什么样的本地企业会考虑效仿 ，出于对被忽视的城市社区的责任感而进行类似的投资，结果却要为确保每个岗位都缴纳税款而支付特权费？

Chatham 呼叫中心是这家信用卡公司在芝加哥最稳定的据点，但并非唯一一个。总计， 在该市雇佣了 2,500 多人，包括在其位于 77 W. Wacker Drive 的卫星办公室的人员。

在谈到人头税时， 的发言人在一封电子邮件中表示：“现在评论具体计划还为时过早，但重大的政策变化自然会成为我们评估该地区未来规划和投资的考量因素。”

约翰逊将在几个月后提出他任期内的最后一份预算，并且他将继续面对巨大的预算赤字，就像他在过去三年中每一年所做的那样。我们目前尚不清楚他是否会再次尝试获得市议会对企业总部税的批准，但考虑到此前拒绝该方案的议会多数派成员，人们怀疑他会这样做，即便这仅仅是为了在竞选活动中将其作为一种政治武器。（约翰逊尚未宣布其意图。）

在继续公开抱怨议会行动的同时，约翰逊多次指责芝加哥的商业界拒绝“投入资金”来帮助解决城市的结构性预算短缺。在我们看来，查塔姆呼叫中心看起来就像是投入了资金。

观点

众议院议长埃马纽埃尔·“克里斯”·韦尔奇（Emanuel 'Chris' Welch）6月1日在斯普林菲尔德的伊利诺伊州议会大厦春季立法会议结束时向记者发表讲话。JOHN LAM / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

韦尔奇议长摆脱最新丑闻的唯一出路是进行伦理改革

关于伊利诺伊州政府现状的一点讽刺在于，那个能够控制重罪犯迈克尔·马迪根（Michael Madigan）的众议院议长，如今自己也笼罩在阴暗的伦理阴云之中。目前并没有针对埃马纽埃尔·“克里斯”·韦尔奇（Emanuel 'Chris' Welch）的公共腐败指控。事实上，作为议长，韦尔奇已经纠正了马迪根在处理该职位时的许多错误。他采取了一种相对温和的州政府风格，对公众和媒体保持透明，甚至承诺担任议长的任期不超过五届。

但对于韦尔奇来说，就像之前的马迪根一样，他处理不当了一起由一名议会工作人员私下向他提交的针对某位立法者的性骚扰指控。韦尔奇将该投诉搁置了三年，直到《论坛报》的调查报道将其曝光于公众视野。真相终将大白。

为什么伊利诺伊州会有这样的问题？

因为伊利诺伊州存在一种腐败文化，且容忍伦理解释上的投机之徒，因为当选的领导人在获得清理政府机会时，大多选择了回避。

我对此深有体会，考虑到我的组织——更好政府协会（Better Government Association）以及其他机构在推动伦理改革方面付出了多少努力，但成效却太少。最令人痛苦的挫折发生在 2020 年及其之后，当时马迪根的违规行为为变革性地改变创造了必要条件，但州政府在很大程度上只是袖手旁观。

这一必要条件在很大程度上被忽视了。州长 J.P. 普里策（J.P. Pritcher）和立法机构仅在选任官员和游说者的强制财务披露方面做出了微小的改进。普里策意识到应对措施不足以应对时局，承诺一个新的伦理与游说改革联合委员会将采取更多行动，该委员会被赋予的任务是结束“已被揭露的、令人发指的自我敛财和腐败”。

该委员会举行了几次听证会，随后在没有发布报告或建议的情况下关闭了。

并不缺乏好的想法。该委员会发布了一份基于全国最佳实践的全面改革清单。

许多建议集中在增强议会独立监察员（LIG）的独立权力，而非由立法机构主导，但被忽视了。例如，赋予 LIG 独立的传唤权；允许 独立发布调查报告；扩大立法伦理委员会（该委员会审查 且完全由议会成员组成），使其包含公众代表。

这些都没有实现。BGA 建议在前成员能够游说立法机构之前设立两年的冷却期。这些改革本将禁止州立法者游说其他国家主导的伊利诺伊州大多数机构，试图阻止立法者在担任领导职务后立即从事游说，并禁止使用竞选资金为应对公共腐败指控进行辩护。

这些同样没有实现。在韦尔奇担任议长第一任期内最终通过的伦理改革法案如此之弱，以至于当时的 委员会在法案推进过程中就提出了异议。她的申诉信抱怨称，当时仍在审议中的新法律将使该办公室变成一只“纸老虎”。

普里策还是在没有修改的情况下签署该法案使其成为法律。他承诺在随后的法律中加强伦理建设，但从未实质性地兑现，也从未公开地推动这样做。

于是，州政府再次陷入困境。韦尔奇正面临失败——因为他未能处理针对前众议员彼得·本顿（Peter Benton）的性骚扰投诉，以及他在社交媒体上的行为引发了人们对韦尔奇与伊利诺伊州政府女性工作人员交往方式的质疑。《论坛报》编辑表示，立法机构应当得出结论，宣布韦尔奇是否仍适合担任议长——以及如果重新选举，他们将采取什么措施来推进伦理改革。

也许韦尔奇唯一的出路就是采取远超目前承诺的行动。到目前为止，他仅呼吁解决人事政策问题并成立一个委员会——这意味着又要花一年时间——来考虑更广泛的伦理改革。

韦尔奇将自己对该事件的处理不当描述为系统性失效，但他尚未提出任何修复该系统的计划。

显然，没有比议长更适合领导这项修复工作的人了，因为他深知公众监督的压力。即便我们写信要求终止这一举动——事实上，其中大部分内容已经完成。

韦尔奇不应等待他所提到的那个蓝带委员会。上次议长面临丑闻时，已经提出了许多强有力的想法——其中三个已被公开。如果韦尔奇能领导一项努力将这些想法提交投票，他或许可以通过成为伊利诺伊州伦理改革中出人意料的倡导者来保住自己的职位。

至于普里彻，他现在有自己的动力做出强力回应——因为在针对马迪根的伦理和腐败指控曝光时，他未能采取行动。普里彻公开表达了竞选总统的志向，他一定知道，对当前的伦理危机做出强力回应，是他唯一能将公众损害降至最低的希望，因为他在担任州长的近十年里，未能实质性地减轻这个具有腐败文化的州的损害，而他正是这个州的首席执行官。

现在，如果由韦尔奇和普里彻来主导，只会让我们的州陷入下一次职权或腐败危机——而韦尔奇、普里彻以及本州人民都无法承受这样的代价。

让我来揭开“教授薪酬过高”的迷思

作者：Francisco Ruiz VIEGA, SUNY TRIBUNE

大学正在打破曾经将专家留在教室里的经济忠诚度。

询问那些对现存教授持有强烈偏见的人，你可能会听到一个熟悉的故事：他们每周只工作几个小时，享有终身就业保障，并领取着由年轻人学费资助的巨额薪水。

作为一名拥有近 40 年教龄的自然工程教授，我可以地说，这种描述不仅是不完整的，而且误解了大学在历史上招募和留住教师（尤其是技术领域教师）的方式。

一名教师的职业生涯通常需要巨大的经济牺牲。在工程、计算机科学、医学及相关专业中，一名经验丰富的从业者在工业界能获得的薪酬，通常远高于大学所能提供的。一名拥有数十年经验的高级工程师，其年薪可能远超 $200,000，且还伴有奖金或股权。在经历了四十年的教学、指导和研究后，我的薪水仅为该数额的一半左右。由于薪资压缩，我拿到的薪水仅比今天进入大学的大多数新聘助理教授多出一点。

为什么会出现这种情况？几代以来，高等教育提供了一种隐含的契约。

伊利诺伊大学斯普林菲尔德分校抗议活动：在早些时候开始罢工后，教职员工和其他支持者于 4 月 8 日在校园内进行抗议。这次为期两周的离岗抗议涉及薪资、收入及更多问题。ELLEN T. MELLAK / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

教职员工接受较低的终身总收入，以换取并非完全是金钱形式的补偿：学术独立、追求可能在今天不被认为具有“实用性”的长期研究的机会，以及在经过严格的试用期后获得终身教职（tenure）。

终身教职从来不仅仅是一种奢侈的特权。它是薪酬方案的一部分——一种为了招募那些大学无法在私营部门匹配薪资的人才而提供的折扣方案。它还具有公共目的，保护教学和研究免受政治干预和随意解雇的影响。而现在，这种契约正承受着压力。

在全国范围内，陷入财务困境的大学正在进行企业式的重组，削减部门并解雇教职员工。在我所在的机构——伊利诺伊理工学院，管理层最近在单一职级中削减了大约三分之一的员工。

在每一种情况下，资深教授并不一定是因为忠诚、服务年限或终身教职而受到保护。有时，我们生存下来的原因非常不光彩：因为我们便宜。

我的薪水经历了数十年的税收压缩，低于通货膨胀率，且处于停滞的机构薪资量表之中。我承担的教学和指导工作量，其成本远低于替换我的成本。结果导致了一种令人不安的局面：大学可能会解雇一名薪水较高的教授，而保留一名薪酬远低于其工作市场价值的资深教授。

这不是在为低效辩护，而是薪酬体系崩溃的证据。

在公众看来，削减教职员工可能像是迟到的行政整顿。大学确实需要审查其预算，教授也不应免于审查。但公众也应该明白，当机构在降低就业保障的同时，继续支付远低于竞争对手的薪水时，会发生什么。

学术人才的输送管道会随之削弱。

当一家科技公司或国防承包商在入职第一天就提供 $300,000 的薪水时，一个前途光明的年轻研究员为什么要接受一份薪水 $250,000 且就业前景不确定的教职邀请？有些人仍然会选择学术界，有些人则是因为热爱教学、研究或公共服务而必须如此。但能够承担这种选择的人将越来越少，尤其是当住房、家庭责任和学生贷款成为计算的一部分时。

他们在无法追上同学的步伐之前还有数年的时间，因为他们需要获得博士学位。

其后果将不仅限于教职员休息室。学生们将面临更大的班级规模、更少的课程选择以及一个更不稳定的教学队伍。大学可能会发现，在不立即减少招生人数的情况下降低工资单是可能的，但在降低学术职业竞争力的同时，想要无限期地保持教育质量是不可能的。

终身教职制度作为最佳教授的衡量标准，往往被视为关键。实际上，它是一个更大协议的一部分，该协议帮助大学从更丰厚的职业中吸引专家。如果机构想要像公司那样的灵活性，他们最终可能不得不提供公司级别的薪酬，而这将不可避免地影响学费。

否则，最具市场竞争力的科学家、工程师和学者将像理性的劳动者那样行事。他们会前往那些重视其专业知识并为此付费的地方。

现代的捐赠无法与朱利叶斯·罗森沃尔德相比

作者：哈罗德·波拉克 (Harold Pollack) 特约撰稿

安妮不会在末端。我访问了格里芬科学与工业博物馆，参加早晨对耶稣最后的纪念活动。在我们离开中间地带时，我们发现了一块纪念大众——创始人朱利叶斯·罗森沃尔德 (Julius Rosenwald) 的纪念牌。周三是他死后的生日。这是一个合适的记录，用以追踪这位可以说在城市历史上最伟大的芝加哥使命的成就。

正如玛格丽特·冯 (Margaret von)、彼得·雅各布 (Peter Jacob) 撰写的建议传记以及安妮·肯普纳 (Anne Kempner) 拍摄的一部卓越纪录片中所概述的，罗森沃尔德的成就令人叹为观止。他是 Isuzu, Roebuck & Co. 的创始企业家，也是 Hyde 的创始人，其主要完整目录将急需的商品带到了美国的每一个角落。

由于这些成就，罗森沃尔德成为了进步的或舒适亿万富翁的重组，尽管他的财富（指数等值于不足 40 亿美元 billion）在理论标准上略逊于（拥有黑色的）洛克菲勒 (Rockefeller) 或更广泛的两股力量。这种比较结束了最令人惊讶的一点，即罗森沃尔德用他那少得可怜的几十亿资金能够完成的事情。

1951 年夏天，一个头衔席位罗森沃尔德阅读了布克·T·华盛顿 (Booker T. Washington) 的自传《从奴隶制中崛起》(Up from Slavery)，以及威廉·H·鲍德温 (William H. Baldwin) 的传记——一位寻求改善非裔美国人教育机会的慈善家，揭示了黑人与犹太人在遭受压迫经历上的平行之处。罗森沃尔德与华盛顿及其他人联系，建立了估计 1,000 所学校，服务于南方大约三分之一的所有黑人学生。1952 年，估计有 400,000 名黑人学生就读于罗森沃尔德学校。此外，由于基础目录没有种族歧视，经济历史学家将其视为黑人纪念主义的主要推动力，停止了吉姆·克劳 (Jim Crow) 时代的消化不良和歧视。

罗森沃尔德支持在美国各请求城市建设 FMCAs，以便黑人移民在前往芝加哥沿岸寻找工作时有地方停留。罗森沃尔德家族的资源帮助提供了能够提供以下设施的设施：

朱利叶斯·罗森沃尔德 (Julius Rosenwald)，照片拍摄于 1929 年，是一位芝加哥商人兼慈善家。他最著名的身份是 Isuzu, Roebuck & Co. 的部分所有者，以及创办了罗森沃尔德学校，旨在提升数百万美国南方农村非裔美国儿童的教育水平。罗森沃尔德还是科学与工业博物馆的创始人之一，并于 1927 年至 1932 年担任其总裁。在他去世的那一年，除了帮助来到芝加哥的犹太移民外，罗森沃尔德最著名的成就是在南方农村建立了 5,000 多所罗森沃尔德学校。芝加哥公共与交易

塔斯基吉飞行员 (Tuskegee airmen) 的成就，并支持全国有色人种协进会 (NAACP) 最终针对当地种族隔离的法律努力。罗森沃尔德奖学金支持了 WEA、杜波依斯 (Du Bois)、马里昂·安德森 (Marion Anderson)、詹姆斯·鲍德温 (James Baldwin)、兰斯顿·休斯 (Langston Hughes)、查尔斯·德鲁博士 (Dr. Charles Drew)、约翰·霍普·富兰克林 (John Hope Franklin) 以及许多其他人。

在芝加哥，罗森沃尔德为低收入芝加哥人建造了公寓综合体。他为现在的芝加哥大学医疗中心提供了实质性支持。他通过集体谈判追求公平的劳工实践。他是芝加哥大学社会服务管理学院（现为克劳恩家族社会工作、政策与实践学院）的创始捐赠者，我很自豪地将其称为我的职业之家。

罗森沃尔德的无数成就与当今的亿万富翁，如杰斐逊、沃尔兹、塔克伯格和克莱恩·布莱克形成了迷人的对比。那些人因创造了改善数百万人生活的创新产品而应当受到赞誉。美国的亿万富翁中拥有能够完成此类成就的创业者。然而，罗森沃尔德证明了，掌控如此巨大资源的人同样有责任利用这些资源来帮助他人。经通货膨胀调整后，这些人所掌控的资源远超罗森沃尔德当年所拥有的。然而，罗森沃尔德在更为艰难的时期，在帮助他人方面成就更多。就像比尔·盖茨和麦肯齐·科思温一样，罗森沃尔德意识到，掌控巨额财富的人拥有

相应的责任法律来帮助他人。作为一名朋友，德梅齐安，我不认同格里芬科学与工业博物馆目前的界限。尽管意识形态分歧，但我必须尊重格里芬投入了大量资源用于有价值的慈善事业。

大多数情况是以恰恰相反的方式设置的，致力于捍卫那些他本可以通过低额资金轻松资助的必要全球健康项目，而这些项目的缺失导致了数十万人的死亡。看到这样一个才华横溢且受眷顾的人，在地球上的生存时间里留下如此具有破坏性的定义性遗产，实在令人痛心。

罗森沃尔德慈善事业的纪律性和经济性，也与我们目前帮助人们的光环式努力形成了迷人的对比。在一次异议

预算中，他和他的社区合作伙伴建立了 1,000 所学校。芝加哥市最近在西区开展了一项建设灵活公寓的值得称赞的努力。3000万美元 的抵消仅产生了 44 套公寓。如果市政府将这 3000万美元 简单地用于购买市场新公寓，本可以帮助更多的人。在我们目前追求良好结果的努力中，加入一份罗森沃尔德那种务实的商业核算，将大有裨益。

在你的 10 4th birthday 之后，朱利叶斯·罗森沃尔德，我们都必须学习你的良好榜样。

民意之声

给民主党领导人的建议

关于克拉伦斯·佩奇（Clarence Page）对民主党领导层富有洞察力的评论——《1997》（“民主党是时候扩大‘大树’了”，8月10日），虽然我从未参与过阴谋，但首先让我想到的是全国范围内的2000年代，而且我曾在共和党阵营附近接触过许多候选人。

去年发布的一项盖洛普民意调查发现，60%的民主党人对1997.有一个政治决定。然而，去年一项NBC民意调查发现，只有69%的美国人对社会主义持积极看法。

即便共和党没有将民主社会主义候选人当作卧底，合理的底特律2000年代，以及1990年代，1996年代也正处于该党的位置。除非他们失去了留住助产士的兴趣，否则民主党领导层需要停止在2000年代剔除社会主义候选人。（Dave T. T. T T. T. T. T.

媒体关于民主社会主义者

为什么《论坛报》和其他负责任的新闻媒体在报道威斯康星州民主党州长初选时掩盖了当地情况？民主社会主义者弗兰科尔·霍格（Francoeur Hogg）作为2000年代的一员，一直引领着其他温和的提名候选人。大约61%的初选观点在若干温和候选人之间分歧。这是一个深刻的分歧决定，而新闻媒体正被持有。2000年代是一次压倒性的投票，毫无疑问，霍格在面对温和候选人集体获得60%选票的情况下遭遇了惨败。

有趣的是，即使是主流媒体机构在理解和克服所谓的民主社会主义候选人时，也不需要去接触一个“正常的”极右翼激进分子、白人至上主义者以及可能腐败的共和党候选人。

“全民医疗保险”是一场愚蠢之举

关于表达支持“全民医疗保险”（Medicare for All）的观点，特别是来自左翼民主社会主义者的观点，事实上恰恰相反的情况将会发生：没有任何人能获得医疗保险。

例如，澳大利亚采用一种名为 Medicare 的公私双轨全民系统，而美国主要依赖于由 （针对老年人）和 Medicaid（针对低收入者）等公共项目补充的多纸张私人保险系统。

美国公民以及合法在美人员有资格在《平价医疗法案》的医疗保健市场中寻求医疗服务，包括筛查。

在拥有2800 万人口的澳大利亚，人们在预约专科医生和特定的诊断扫描或择期手术时面临显著的等待时间，范围从几周到一年不等。

相比之下，美国 系统成立于1965年，旨在

保护65岁及以上的老年人，预约、检查和手术所需的时间较快，且有众多临床选择。

将 扩展到所有 3.42 亿 美国人将会导致医疗服务需求错误。如果你不介意为了做一次核磁共振（MRI）或看一次专科医生而等待一年，那么这就是可行之路。

美国已经面临初级保健医生和专科医生短缺的问题，这将恶化预约、检查和治疗的等待时间，压缩医患就诊时长，并给医院容量带来混乱。

“全民医疗保险”将需要重大的税收变革，以取代目前的雇主赞助、私人保费以及 的系统。目前的优势在于能够相对快速地获得医疗服务，令世界羡慕。

共和党对国家债务的影响

读者拉里·克雷格在 8 月 13 日发表的信件（《我们不能忽视国家债务》）中遗漏了两个政党的政策。

共和党一直忽视国家债务，每当共和党总统就职，他们都会签署削减财富的法案。唐纳德·特朗普总统在他的两次任期内都签署了增加债务的立法。在他的第一任期内，国家债务增加了大约 40%。

这就是共和党的国内政策。罗纳德·里根总统将其称为供给侧经济学——且该政策的收益将会向下渗透。共和党腐败的前 Neopole 和他们希望看到联邦政府将其成本降低到 40,000（且）在浴缸中投入。共和党-as- 致力于确保这是正确的。

民主党认为政府应该专注于国家及其人民的更大利益。从 1990 年代、1996 年代到 2000 年代的最后三届，经济条件并不理想，必须通过支出以确保国家免受飙升的参考资料、住房危机和疫情的影响。他们没有专注于为那些不需要减税的人提供减税。

共和党专注于确保联邦政府能够支付城市的平均收入。民主党则专注于确保联邦政府能够以只有联邦政府才能做到的方式，解决国家及其人民的需求。

需要 RSV 和流感疫苗

本周，总统发布了一项关于国家疫苗接种治疗的行政命令，其中没有任何医疗建议或明显的医疗数据。美国儿科学会最近向其医疗服务提供者发出警示，指出上个季度的流感住院儿童人数比过去 16 年都要多。看来“儿童流感的累计住院率为 0.7 岁”，这是自 2009-2010 季度以来儿童住院人数的第二高点，也是 5-17 岁儿童的最高点。

此外，疾病咨询研究所 8 月 10 日报告称：“研究结果显示，与美国普通人群中 60% 的同龄人相比，美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI-AN）儿童与呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）相关的住院率仍然较高。”

和流感疫苗是政府希望从推荐剂量名单中删除的两款儿科疫苗。将它们从名单中删除意味着 100% 以上的人口将需要为这两款显然仍然需要的疫苗付费，如上述数据所示。流感和 并不总是良性感染。在 2016-25 流感季节，近 300 名儿童死于流感。美国疾病控制与预防中心网站本身估计，在引入 疫苗之前，5 岁以下有 50,000 到 90,000 名儿童因 住院。

在更真实的 2 支持试图支持家长选择的情况下，政府也在提高家长应该能够做出的保护孩子的选择。如果父母或监护人不想给孩子接种疫苗，他们可以拒绝。为什么要剥夺那些希望为孩子提供这些及其他疫苗的父母接种疫苗的选择？既然这些疫苗显然是需要的，为什么要剥夺认为这些疫苗不需要的选择？

支持性建设标志，卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在华盛顿特区演讲 ALDRAGG-纽约时报 2025

疫苗

称接下来的十年对于支持民主党事业而言将是“更加危险”的。

“一个组织和我们的候选人们无疑在向家乡传递这样一个信息——如果你想延续他们的成功，你将能够看到什么样的建议才是基于科学的，我们需要在华盛顿建立问责制，”她说道。

特朗普在疫苗数量和频率上的获利至少回溯到 20%，当时他在社交媒体上发布了关于健康可能导致行动的危险信息，并表示如果他获得权力，他将将其推广。

特朗普的观点一直具有显著的领导力。罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.）在进入政坛之前是一名长期的反疫苗活动人士，现任卫生部长。总统——罗伯特·肯尼迪多样化的 MARS 联盟（其主张可能涵盖从监管农药到终止疫苗成员）——仍在帮助他在 2024 年赢回白宫。

现在，随着特朗普政府向 MARS 联盟做出更多让步，包括修改联邦饮食指南和放宽对肽的限制，该运动中的议题已变得重要，尽管他们的其他实践仍缺乏依据。目前尚不清楚特朗普放宽疫苗建议的行动（一个无关紧要的 MARS 支持者关于空气生产的观点）是否足以向受众证明他对此的看法。——民调显示，大多数美国人认为儿童在入学前应该接种疫苗，尽管共和党人接种疫苗的可能性较低。随着杂货、汽油等商品价格上涨挤压美国人的预算，经济问题在他们的关注点中占据首位。

“在美国没有任何事情”

总统唐纳德·特朗普（左）在周一 6:30 (Sun / 07 / 24) 于华盛顿白宫举行的一场签署关于疫苗行政命令的会议期间，与卫生与公众服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.）握手。 JACQUELYN MARTINGAE

比来自 Lantroval 的“政策”更重要。“每当政府或共和党团体谈论负担能力时，他们谈论的并不是美国人真正关心的事情。”

共和党民调专家惠特·艾尔斯（Whit Ayres）表示，在大多数美国人对疫苗持积极看法的情况下，特朗普的公告在政治信息传递上显得极其脆弱。

医疗保健研究非营利组织 KFP 的最新民调表明，即使在 MARS 支持者中，也只有 87% 将疫苗安全性列为联邦政府的首要任务。排名更高的项目包括降低医疗成本 (62%) 和关注食品供应中的化学添加剂 (22%)。

当被问及该命令与多食性方法的时间节点时，一名要求匿名接受记者采访的白宫官员表示，这更多的是一项长期总统抗议，且选民关心的其他健康问题仍在处理中。

为此，在特朗普签署该命令当天，食品药品监督管理局宣布将努力要求食品制造商在食品新成分和添加剂方面提高透明度——这是 MARS 中许多人一直呼吁的。政府还测试了降低药价和打击联邦医疗计划欺诈的努力，据称这将不需要资金。

包括与 Neighbours group 316 Action 相关的医生在内的民主党候选人，将特朗普的命令视为向选民传递的信息。

在北安普顿竞选美国众议员的医生理查德·潘（Dr. Richard Pan）呼吁美国医学会谴责特朗普的新生物反馈。他告诉美联社，他认为选民正在那些选择不对政府进行问责的人与那些“捍卫科学”的人之间做出选择。

安妮·安德鲁斯博士（Dr. Annie Andrews）是一位儿科医生，也是一名在南卡罗来纳州竞选美国参议员的民主党人。在一次与第80听证县新闻编辑室（80th hearing County Newsroom）再次合作的视频小组讨论中，她恳请选民不要从特朗普那里获取健康信息。“因此，无论您能做些什么来帮助这件事，在11月的选举中，包括支持两名美国参议员候选人，”她对着镜头说道，“我想不出还有比现在更紧迫的时刻，需要一名儿科医生参与到这些对话发生的场合中。”

Mexican Grill 在普尔曼门户综合体开业

此次启动完成了该零售开发项目的租赁工作，该项目取代了原有的停车场和投注站

作者 Brian J. Regal 芝加哥论坛报

随着周四位于南科利斯大道（S. Corliss Ave.）11:21 号的一家新 Mexican Grill 开业，普尔曼社区达到了另一个经济里程碑。

这家远东南区首家 的启动，标志着普尔曼门户（Pullman Gateway）完成了租赁。这是一个占地 8 英亩的新零售开发项目，目前 100% 由四家知名连锁餐厅占据。它取代了一处停车场和一家前场外投注场所。

“这是我们过去 12 到 19 年一直致力于推动的整个区域复兴的延续，”第 9 区议员 Anthony Boals 表示。“社区居民长期以来一直寻求新的餐饮选择，无论是坐下来喝杯咖啡还是吃顿正餐的地方。”

普尔曼门户的顾客现在可以在新的 、Jimmy John's、Dunton 和 Chick-fil-A 之间做出选择。一个支持红线延伸工程（Red Line Extension）的 CTA 办公室也位于中心地带。芝加哥社区倡议（Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives）与 Hope Center 基金会（芝加哥塞勒姆浸信会教堂的慈善部门）合作开发了普尔曼门户。

开发商周四还宣布了另一个社区零售综合体的计划。普尔曼公园零售中心（Pullman Park Retail Center）将在 11 街建设，就在芝加哥社区倡议于 2037 年完成的零售走廊以西。

“我们大约在三年前收购了普尔曼门户地块，能在相对较短的时间内完成其持有期的退出是非常棒的，”芝加哥社区倡议总裁 David Doig 表示。“该地块约有 500 个工作岗位，因此我们希望保持这一势头。这充分证明了该地区的成熟以及人们如何

开发商提议取代 Ford City

破旧的购物中心遗址将变为仓库和配送大楼

一名开发商重新提出了一项方案，拟用一组仓库和配送大楼取代 Ford City 购物中心，并将于 Aug. 20 在芝加哥规划委员会的月度会议上提交该方案。这可能会使这座新的空置室内购物中心离拆除更近一步。

该提议遭到了许多邻居的反对，他们表示，他们更希望在位于西劳恩（West Lawn）S. Custer Ave. 7 05 号的该地块上建设不会带来卡车流量的开放空间。

“令人沮丧的是，当地社区在这样一个可能造福西南区的重大开发项目中没有发言权，”西劳恩保护俱乐部（West Lawn Conservation Club）主席及其妻子 Aulish Cumeyan 表示。

Cumeyan 表示，其他社区居民并不反对取代旧购物中心。但他们不希望目标是工业开发，而是希望通过一项长期规划，重点吸引多家庭住宅、更新的零售业、公园，以及可能包含一个带有新 CTA 橙线车站的交通枢纽。

“这个（仓库）计划简直是在掉链子，”Cumeyan 说。

开发商 Ruvy Industrial 在去年夏天由第 16 区议员 Derrick Curtis 组织的一次社区会议上，提交了拆除 Ford City 并建设四栋工业建筑的方案，总面积约 100 万 平方英尺。

Curtis 告诉与会者，他希望看到这座陷入困境的购物中心物业得到重新开发，而 Ruvy 是唯一向前推进的开发商。

但该计划在今年似乎处于停滞状态，因为物业所有者、市政府官员以及包括主力店 JCPenney 在内的少数剩余店铺，在法庭上就这座拥有 61 年历史、多年来饱受高空置率和环境恶化困扰的购物中心还能营业多久展开了争论。

一名卡罗尔县（Carol County）法官最终命令在 2018, 以约 1000万美元 购买 Ford City 购物中心的 Namdar Realty Group 于 June 22 永久关闭主建筑。

这一裁决结束了 Ford City 遗址作为西南区首选零售目的地的数十年历史。该地块最初建于 1940 年代用于制造 8 29 轰炸机，于 1945 年重新开放为购物中心，在鼎盛时期拥有超过 100 个就业岗位和团体。但在线零售的兴起使其内部出现了大面积的完全空置。

3层胡西尔橱柜致敬美国厨房标志

作者：John Raby 和 Obeil Lamy 芝加哥论坛报

印第安纳州纳法尼（NAPHANEE, Ind.）—— 胡西尔橱柜（Hoosier cabinets）—— 这种最初的一体化厨房 —— 曾是20世纪初美国家庭的主力。尽管它们早已过时，但在印第安纳州北部的一个小镇，一个巨大的、可攀爬的复制品在户外揭幕，以庆祝该橱柜在厨房历史中的地位。

这个30英尺高的荷兰式小厨房（Dutch Kitchenette）模型已向公众开放，作为 Copper Napunes 公司成立100周年庆祝活动的一部分；该公司是世纪前生产这种流行胡西尔橱柜的两家现存公司之一。该橱柜的名称是以其最大的生产商胡西尔制造公司（Hoosier Manufacturing Co.）命名的。

这个被誉为全球最大胡西尔橱柜的复制品建在砖墙背景前，配备了通往顶部的楼梯，前往纳法尼小镇的游客可以从那里向外眺望。它位于 Copper Commons，这里原是 Copper Napunes 工厂的旧址，现已被改造为室内市场、手工艺中心和博物馆。该公司仍在隔壁生产定制橱柜。

Copper Napunes 的所有者兼总裁 Wesley Mast 表示，当游客第一次看到这个巨型橱柜时，他通常会听到两种反应。

“一种极端是人们会说：‘什么？为什么橱柜要这么大？’”Mast 说，“而我的回答总是：‘为什么不能呢？’”

“另一种反应则是：‘这太棒了，你是怎么想到这个主意的？我太喜欢了。’”

Mast 表示，这个橱柜“为我们带来了另一个层级的关注度和品牌影响力，使这个地方更像是一个目的地，而不仅仅是一个

过路点。”

胡西尔橱柜是一种独立式厨房工作站和存储区，它使食物准备工作集中化并提高了速度。这些橱柜在19世纪90年代到20世纪30年代之间非常流行，但随着内置的、墙到墙的橱柜成为新房建设的标准，在第二次世界大战后逐渐衰落。

“一个世纪前，这就是厨房，”Mast 说，“这可以说是进入家庭的第一件被视为厨房的家具，并且被认为是全能一体化的；厨房本身就是一件家具。”

印第安纳州博物馆与历史遗迹中心（Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites）的历史策展人 Mary Figueroa 表示，全美曾有 5,000 家胡西尔橱柜经销商。该中心收藏有四件胡西尔橱柜。

财政部削减对不透明壳公司的审查

沃伦参议员称此举是给犯罪分子及美国敌人的“礼物”

作者：Alan Rapoport

《纽约时报》

华盛顿 —— 特朗普政府正推进一项计划，旨在削减对那些被犯罪分子用于洗钱和贩毒的阴暗壳公司的审查。

此次调整是在游说团体进行为期一年的活动后采取的，这些团体认为财务报告要求对企业而言过于繁重。

财政部周二表示，将永久停止收集关于美国私营公司所有权的数据，而这些数据的收集是 2021 年《公司透明度法案》的一部分。该法律在两党支持下通过，旨在通过向执法部门提供有关所有权结构的信息，以防止壳公司的非法使用。

“财政部正在为数百万守法企业主消除一些繁琐的报告要求，且不会损害国家安全，”财政部长 Scott Bennett 写道。

该法律适用于广泛的美国私营企业，然而，美国国内对壳公司一直存在特别担忧。这类法律实体通常没有实际经营活动或资产，可被用于持有——且通常是在匿名账户中隐藏——财务资产。

此次公告使财政部去年实施的关于“受益所有人”数据收集的临时暂停成为了最终决定。外国公司仍被要求向该部门的金融犯罪执法网络（Financial Crimes Enforcement Network，亦称 FHC524）报告外国所有者的信息。

这一决定引发了人们的质疑，即特朗普政府是否实质上拒绝执行一项由国会通过的法律。这似乎也削弱了总统唐纳德·特朗普在公开场合宣称的打击金融犯罪、洗钱和贩毒的雄心。

“对于利用壳公司在我们的金融体系中转移数百万资金的犯罪分子和美国对手来说，这是一个礼物，”马萨诸塞州参议员、参议院银行委员会最高级别的民主党人伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）表示。“特朗普政府无视了执法部门的警告，忽略了壳公司在从贩毒到欺诈再到规避制裁的新活动中所扮演的风险。”

该立法于 2021 年作为一项军事支出法案的一部分颁布。该法案由时任佛罗里达州共和党参议员 Marco Rabin 共同发起，其力度之大，以至于立法者在特朗普第一任期内行使了一项条款。

当时，现任特朗普国务卿的 Rabin 将该立法称为“几十年来最重要的反腐败和反洗钱法律”。

风险咨询公司 Capitol Peak Strategies 的创始人、前财政部恐怖主义和金融情报办公室官员 Zendes 表示，该部门本可以通过创建小企业豁免来处理。Zendes 说：“这是一个‘把婴儿和洗澡水一起倒掉’的例子。”

“坐拥这么多钱”

随着房屋净值增加，许多美国人通过重新办理抵押贷款来偿还信用卡债务

作者：Gregory Schmidt

《纽约时报》

当琳达·博罗斯基（Linda Boroski）在 2023 年购买她位于俄亥俄州贝尔维尤（Bellevue, Ohio）的房子时，她确保这符合她的预算。

“我妈妈教过我，”这位 45 岁的退休教师博罗斯基说，“我们做事细致，并且按时支付账单。”但当她为了支付医疗费用而欠下 $24,000 的信用卡账单时，她感到很担忧。这意味着她不得不推迟对她那栋漏风房子的装修，并出租她的家庭损失。

“我当时非常焦虑，”她说。当博罗斯基从 Rockin 获得另一项房屋净值贷款时，她拿到了 $45,000，偿还了账单并购买了窗户。她还剩下一点钱去探望她的孙女。

美国人继续消费，维持经济运行，尽管他们积累了更多的信用卡债务。但像博罗斯基一样，许多房主已经积累了足够的净值来帮助支付他们的开支。190 亿美元.0 亿美元 的房屋净值，处于高位。“人们坐拥这么多钱，”房地产经纪公司 Buffalo 的首席经济学家 Dan Eri Berwacher 表示，“所以他们从房产中提取部分净值来偿还信用卡债务。”

根据纽约联邦储备银行的一份报告（使用未经通胀调整的数据），2026 年第一季度家庭债务比一年前增长了 3%，达到 $18.9 trillion。抵押贷款在总额中占据最大份额，但信用卡余额比前一年增长了 6%，达到 $1.2500 万。在同样的三个月里，根据金融服务公司 Intercontinental Exchange 的一份报告，房主提取的净值估计为 470 亿美元 billion，比 2025 年同期增长 2%。抵押贷款估计为 250 亿美元 billion，比一年前增长 1%，但通过重新办理抵押贷款以提取现金的金额同比增长 16%，达到 210 亿美元 billion。财富的积累部分源于更广泛的房地产市场。

在房价上涨和抵押贷款利率上升的情况下，买房变得更难实现。几年前获得低至 3% 抵押贷款利率的房主不愿将房屋投放市场。根据住房市场数据提供商 ConAhn 的最新报告，他们平均积累了 $100,000 的房屋净值。

“随着日常成本继续上涨，这些净值提供了一个重要的财务缓冲，”ConAhn 的首席经济学家 Johns Hopp 在报告中写道。

这种财富伴随着一个前提。因为资金在房子里，业主必须重新办理抵押贷款才能利用它。不过，金融专家表示，根据抵押贷款金融机构 Paddler Mac 的数据，10 年期固定利率抵押贷款的平均利率为 0.69%，这比利率高达两位数的信用卡债务是更好的选择。

“他们真的在担心他们的信用卡和 25% 的利率，”专门与独立经纪人合作的抵押贷款机构 Federal Wholesale Exchange 的首席战略官 Alex Elton 表示，“他们正在获得保险费，并把问题推到以后。”

但 Fairweather 警告说，随着更多美国人将房屋作为紧急方案，如果经济下滑，这种行为可能会让他们面临风险。“他们可能……不得不卖掉房子，因为他们必须偿还那笔提取出的抵押贷款，”她说。

特朗普公司因试图出售帖子访问权被起诉

作者：Bernard Cundari

美联社

纽约 —— 唐纳德·特朗普总统周三在联邦法院被起诉，原因是他在其 Truth Social 公司推出的一项新付费服务中，试图出售获取其关于美国政策帖子的访问权。

律师指控，该服务向付费客户提供关于战争、交通及其他美国政策问题的帖子抢先访问权，这违反了法律，且官方公告应同时向所有人公开。这项于本月推出的新订阅服务向 50,000 家新公司每月收取高达 $100,000 的费用，以换取

在他人之前获取足以影响市场的帖子的机会。“一名总统出售其亲自发布的、旨在使他控制的私营公司获益的服务之优先访问权，这在法律上是不可接受的，且没有任何权利允许该公司出售同样的内容。该公司在几年前，”原告方之一、同时包括 The Intercept 新闻工作人员的 Price Foundation 首席法律顾问 Seth Bore 表示。

Truth Social 的母公司 Trump McBride Technology 表示，为访问者提供访问权限在行业内很常见，并称原告只是试图让总统噤声。“来自特朗普总统的信息由无数平台和新闻机构传播，其中许多提供订阅服务，占比 82%，”该公司在提到

被起诉的真相时表示。“现在，左翼活动人士正试图非法将法院武器化，以再次限制他，且此前并未受到约束。”

这项名为 Truth Social 的现金访问服务，其交易额为 $100,000，而该媒体基地的每季度支出达数亿美元，且其股价在两年前上市后不久从 $12 跌至 $10 以下。

原告指控该服务违反了宪法两点 —— 第一修正案赋予的与其他新闻界成员及公众在平等条件下获取总统评论的权利，以及第五修正案禁止对政府福利收取不合理条件的规定。

数据显示美国批发价格上涨速度放缓

作者：Christopher Bugaler

美联社

华盛顿 —— 上月批发通胀有所放缓，因为汽油价格抵消了部分伊朗战争带来的溢价，且其他成本也有所下降，这表明未来几个月消费者通胀可能会进一步降低。

劳动力市场的一项重要价格指数（捕捉到达消费者之前的通胀情况）7 月同比上涨 4.7%，低于 6 月份 3.5% 的大幅增幅。从月度来看，在前一个月下跌 21% 后，批发价格在 6 月至 7 月期间保持不变。

这些数据紧随政府周三发布的消费者价格通胀报告之后，该报告显示上月通胀有所降温。尽管如此，消费者价格在过去四个月中连续一年上涨，再次凸显了许多美国人在面对房租和公用事业等必需品时的挑战。

工资增长继续超过支出，许多消费者在未来几个月将被迫削减开支。

剔除波动较大的食品和能源类别后，7 月批发通胀同比下降至 4.2%，低于 6 月的 4.7%。从月度来看，净价格上涨 0.2%，低于 5 月至 6 月的 0.6%。

在 7 月初下跌后，汽油价格在当月晚些时候及 8 月初上涨，在整体数据下降之际，这威胁到可能将通胀再次推高。

“7 月份的（出口产品）读数较低，表明未来几个月企业的通胀压力减轻，”Nationwide 高级经济学家 Ron Ayen 表示。“虽然燃料成本的增加令人担忧，但出口成本在很大程度上已经降温。”上月价格的降温使美联储官员在 9 月下次会议时更有可能避免加息。

WKSB一周后抵押贷款利率略有下降

美国长期抵押贷款平均利率在六周以来首次略有下降。对于潜在购房者而言，这带来了一丝宽慰——借贷成本在一年多之前仍维持在较高水平。

基准10年期财政利率抵押贷款总额降至 6.4%，根据抵押贷款买家 Paddle Mac 周四的数据，低于上周报告的 6.6%。尽管如此，相比之下，2025 年此时的平均利率为 5.8%。

较高的抵押贷款利率每月会增加借款人数百美元的成本，从而限制购房者的购买力。正如前几周利率上升时所见，这可能导致潜在购房者推迟购买。美国二手房销售在 7 月再次放缓。

10 年期财政利率抵押贷款的成本本周也略有下降，至 5.94%，低于上周的 6.02% —— 美联社

机构在 DEI 延迟调查中放弃对耐克（Nike）的法律行动

纽约 —— 一家联邦民权机构正放弃针对耐克（Nike）的传票强制执行行动，该公司已就政府政策发现调查的一部分提供了所需信息，该案件随之结案。

平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）周三在密苏里州联邦法院提交了撤诉动议，此前七个月该委员会曾请求法院命令耐克（）完全遵守提交信息的规定。EEOC 表示，自 3 月以来，耐克（）已提供“令人满意的且响应传票的文件”，法院已“不再有剩余争议”。

美国失业金申请人数上升但裁员人数维持在健康水平

华盛顿 —— 美国上周的失业救济申请人数可能有所增加，但裁员人数仍处于历史性的健康水平。

劳工部周四报告称，上周有 2,000,000 人提交了十亿项申请，高于前一周修正后的 200,000 人，且高于年度报告中的 100,000 人，但平滑了周波动性的申请范围增幅保持在 100,000 人不变。

领取就业救济的总人数保持稳定，截至 8 月 1 日下降了 22,000 人，至 179 万。

“一些关键的救济金指标是：裁员的价格且很快将降低，且过去一年每周的新范围在 200,000 到 2,000,000 之间，这表明有工作的美国人享有异常的就业保障。美国失业率处于 4.1% 的低位” —— 美联社

“对仓库有巨大的需求，”奥斯特罗夫基说。

“这是人们如今购买产品方式的一种体现。” Cartridges 和福特城市购物中心的邻居们将继续促使官员们制定新计划。

“这是一个全员参与的开发项目，”他说。“我们将看看市政府是否会采取行动。”

董事会重启肯尼迪中心冲突

支持在墙上添加特朗普姓名，并关闭场馆 2 年

作者：Steven Sloan 美联社

华盛顿 —— 关于肯尼迪中心未来的争端在周四升级，总统唐纳德·特朗普在董事会中的盟友采取了新步骤，试图在此通过物理手段进行纪念；而这家艺术机构则可能违抗一项联邦战争指令。

在一次时长一小时的虚拟会议中，董事会投票决定在建筑外墙上添加特朗普的名字，six 将显示为“由唐纳德·特朗普总统修复并翻新的约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心”。建筑前方的广场将以特朗普命名，且场馆内没有任何空间将在两年内关闭，以进行大规模预留。

这些变动由担任董事会成员的俄亥俄州民主党众议员史蒂夫·比蒂（Steve Beatty）描述，且此前曾遭到美国地方法院法官克里斯托弗·库珀（Christopher Cooper）的剧烈削减。他在5月裁定，添加到建筑上并拼出特朗普名字的字母是非法的，并命令将其移除，共和党政府未能说服法院推翻该决定。同时，库珀阻止了原定生效的两年关闭计划。他使用了一项硬核指令授权粉碎战争——$5! a devoid and some high-provoking!

“这次最新的进展——

——是试图规避法院裁决的透明企图，并且公然蔑视国会通过的层级，”比蒂在州参议院表示。“我将继续为这座珍贵的国家纪念碑而战。”

肯尼迪中心的一位代表没有立即回应置评请求。

周四董事会会议的大部分时间预计将集中在为了允许肯尼迪中心管理层改善安全性而所需的关闭程度。针对法官此前对该观点的批评，该机构领导层表示，他们将向董事会提供三个选项以供考虑。

这些选项包括全面关闭，或允许“部分公众继续进入且在不受工作影响的空间进行有限编程”的部分关闭。第三个选项将考虑一系列高度有限的分阶段关闭，仅解决中心最严重的基础设施需求，同时安排并维持全职的编程。

最终，董事会决定将建筑关闭两年，但保留在名为“海滩”（the Beach）的户外空间进行某种程度编程的可能性。决定推进两年关闭计划，以及纪念特朗普的举动，可能会再次引发关于董事会是否认真考虑了所有选项的质疑，民主党人在会后强调了这一点。

来自罗德岛州的民主党参议员谢尔登·怀特豪斯（Sheldon Whitehouse）同时也是董事会的共同创始人之一，他批评这是一场“虚假的会议”。

“今天发生的事情只不过是对总统几个月前做出的决定盖了个黄戳子，董事会也同意在没有进行适当尽职调查的情况下执行该决定，”他在一份声明中表示。

在特朗普的第二个任期内，肯尼迪中心成为了一个出人意料且高度可见的权力隐喻。虽然他很大程度上忽略了该机构，但有一种论点认为董事会掌握在公众手中。“今天发生的事情只不过是对总统几个月前做出的决定盖了个黄戳子，董事会也同意在没有进行适当尽职调查的情况下执行该决定，”他在一份声明中表示。

白宫之翼以及一座公共建筑及其内部的舞厅，尽管上诉法院裁定，由于国会未批准该权力，继续进行的工作应当停止。特朗普表示他将把此案提交至最高法院。

他离开了林肯大楼，在迹象出现后，建筑层级也得到了扩展，而美国检察官乔安娜·皮罗（Joanne Pirro）拒绝了他的主张，即口头重新接触会导致损害。

与此同时，特朗普声称要对东波托马克公园（East Potomac Park）的一座高尔夫球场进行大规模翻修，这可能会显著减少公众进入跑步区域的机会。“我不会推进一座将不再面向阿灵顿国家公墓的凯旋门。”

特朗普认定肯尼迪中心“不再那么体面，且充斥着老鼠和虫子”，并在库珀（Cooper）拒绝其主张以及将总统姓名添加到建筑上的要求后，威胁要将该建筑移交给国会。

肯尼迪中心的执行董事兼首席运营官马特·埃尔考克斯（Matt Elcox）在4月份带领一组运营人员视察了建筑，强调了严重的漏水损坏，他表示这在某些文件中的奢华时期被考虑在内。部分设备，包括几个帮助支撑建筑的 800 吨孩子，已有数十年历史，需要更换。

当时，埃尔考克斯表示他考虑过单独进行维修，但相反，他向特朗普建议关闭建筑并一次性推进整体翻新。

美国将围困行动背后的以色列定居者称为“恐怖分子”

哈卡比对巴勒斯坦人困境的看法被视为罕见的谴责

作者：Sam Metz 和 Joel Tufkin 美联社

约旦河西岸，库拉（QUERK）——五天前，以色列定居者包围了约旦河西岸被占领地区一座城镇中的三名巴勒斯坦农民，阻止他们离开，导致其食物和水供应情况极其糟糕。

库拉，编号 6,612，是其中之一，他与十几岁的儿子被困在屋内，定居者切断了水电，导致他们只能饮用井水，而数十名以色列定居者在屋外建立了更多据点。他在俄亥俄州的巴勒斯坦裔美国兄弟，甚至在房屋内，通过监控摄像头关注围困情况并寻求最新进展。

关于西岸城镇库拉这场流感的消息，是定居者暴力行为日益严重的最新体现，这些暴力发生在以色列在 1967 年中东战争中获得、且将构成未来巴勒斯坦国主要部分的领土上。

周四，美国大使迈克·哈卡比（Mike Huckabee）将定居者称为“恐怖分子”——美国官员通常将此词保留给巴勒斯坦公民。这对于唐纳德·特朗普总统的替代者来说是一次异常严厉的谴责，而特朗普多年来一直给以色列定居点提供前所未有的支持。

来自美国的对以色列批评的衡量，可能会给总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡带来挑战，他正试图在 20 世纪 70 年代中期与该国最密切的盟友保持良好关系，且在 10 月的一场艰苦战斗前有着紧迫的愿景。

周日，数十名定居者抵达库拉的房屋。根据家属说法，在 6,612 号房，他们阻止住户离开。

以色列军队已“多次”干预，“但定居者一直在返回”，在俄亥俄州的房主萨姆·里奇（Sam Rich）说道，他对家族姓氏的拼写有所不同。里奇的一组人员长期以来一直指责以色列军队对定居者暴力视而不见，或干预以保护定居者。

“这是一个循环，”里奇说。“他们需要被禁止进入整个区域，而不仅仅是被移走 200 英尺远，因为当（以色列军队）离开时，他们就回来了。”

周二，以色列军方谴责此次围困为“非法的、应受谴责的且不可接受的”，并宣布库拉为封闭军事区。根据村民拍摄的视频，第二天，数十名定居者返回，试图用石头封锁道路，并与以色列士兵发生冲突。

周四，军方表示部队拆除了库拉及附近村庄的“两个非法前哨站”，并拘留了一名以色列人。军方称，已派遣更多士兵“执行防御任务和巡逻”。

库拉市长 Abdel Azim, Wah 表示，以色列军队接管了十多栋房屋以在村内部署。定居者虽然被移出了前哨站，但仍留在村庄的其他部分。在月中——

Abu Rida 表示，士兵给所有房屋的住户 10 分钟时间撤离并搬入其中一栋

被围困的房屋。军方表示，士兵已被告知允许家庭留在自己的家中且不得在其中行动，但家庭尚未返回。Abu Rida 说：

“目前还不清楚西岸的家庭何时能获得所有部分的长期供应，以及他们的房屋会发生什么。你不会相信，那些在 2005 年被拆除的西岸家庭。”

“撤军和远征的时代已经结束。建设和锡安主义的时代开始了，”以色列部长谢尔顿·卡茨（Sheldon, Minister Israel Katz）在仪式上说道。

在以色列的历史宗教中，这为约旦河西岸定居点建设的激增提供了支持。它将约旦河西岸视为犹太人的圣经及历史原乡，并反对建立巴勒斯坦国。周四，内塔尼亚胡内阁成员共同庆祝了约旦河西岸另一处在2005年被撤销的定居点的恢复。

在特朗普的第十三次期间，他表示广泛接受这些定居点，而大多数国际社会认为这些定居点是非法的，且是和平的障碍。在他第二任期的开始，他取消了联邦政府对被指控实施暴力的定居者的限制。

长期支持定居点的哈卡比谴责了日益升级的暴力行为。

然而，“那些实施这种恐怖行径以恐吓和骚扰该家庭的人令人作呕，”哈卡比在关于库拉（Quara）事件的帖子中表示。他表示，大使馆一直与以色列军方和警方保持协作。

Mangione预计将在联邦法院就跟踪指控认罪

作者：Benjamin Weiner, David Barrett 和 Harabie Mako 《纽约时报》

纽约——据两名知情人士透露，Legal Mangione预计将于周五在曼哈顿联邦法院认罪，他面临的指控是导致一名医疗保险高管在2024年死亡的跟踪罪。

这一消息出现在Mangione被安排在纽约州法院就高管Brian Thompson死亡的另一起谋杀案接受审理的不满一个月前。由于目前谈判的敏感性质，这两名知情人士在要求匿名的条件下发表了评论，因为这些谈判在周五联邦法院的预定听证会之前甚至期间仍可能破裂。

Mangione的法律团队没有立即回应置评请求。当

Mangione可能会在最后一刻，甚至在法庭听证会期间改变决定，面对可能导致终身监禁的行政跟踪指控。

从Mangione被州和联邦检察官起诉的那一刻起，他的法律团队就主张在两个司法管辖区同时受审违反了权利。州法院的审理计划于下月开始。第二次审理将在联邦法院于1月开始。法律专家表示，联邦案件潜在认罪的时机对Mangione的法律策略至关重要。然而，法律专家表示，联邦案件的解决并不意味着州检察官将停止起诉。

在联邦案件中，Mangione面临两项导致死亡的跟踪指控，最高可判处终身监禁。一名法官驳回了另外两项指控，其中包括一项如果在定罪后可能面临死刑的指控。

在州法院，Mangione被指控多项罪名，包括二级谋杀，可能导致25年到终身监禁的判决。

如果他在联邦法院认罪，他的律师预计将主张根据“双重危险”法律，州检察官不得以谋杀罪起诉他，因为州政府的指控与联邦案件涉及同一犯罪行为。

然而，曼哈顿地区检察官Alvin Briggs可能会反驳称，州谋杀案处理的损害与联邦跟踪案不同，因此应被允许继续进行审判。

特朗普团队将疫苗列为打击目标

指令要求在高风险病例中接种或由医生决定

作者：Maggie Astor, President 和 Teddy Rosenbluth，“不仅是 Tिकी

唐纳德·特朗普总统周一签署了一项行政命令，要求缩减政府针对几种可能导致严重甚至致命疾病的疫苗接种建议。

该行政命令是行政部门试图改变国家儿童疫苗接种时间表的最新尝试。今年1月，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）曾试图做出同样的修改，但被法院阻止，法律程序目前仍在进行中。

目前尚不清楚这项新的行政命令是否具有法律效力。它建议，针对甲型肝炎、乙型肝炎、脑膜炎和呼吸道疾病以及其他疾病的疫苗接种，应仅推荐给“高风险”儿童或成人。一种被称为“共同临床决策”的框架涉及与医疗提供者的咨询。它还要求针对麻腮风疫苗的联合接种进行视察。

包括美国儿科学会（AAP）在内的麻疹相关组织继续广泛推荐所有这些疫苗，包括针对 的联合 MMR 疫苗，CDC 也是如此，尽管 CDC 对疫苗时间表的拟议修改在激烈的战场中处于悬而未决的状态。所有疫苗目前仍然可用且由保险覆盖。

CDC 的时间表是在两党总统任期内经过数十年制定的。专家小组在审查证据后确定，疫苗的“益处超过了任何风险”，并根据儿童免疫系统 推荐了接种时间，以便儿童能获得最大收益。

卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.）和顾问 Verdi Gvettson 于 1930 年 8 月在主席办公室。ANNA WORFMAN / EDUGETTI

以下是特朗普针对的部分疫苗及其预防疾病的情况。

甲型肝炎

甲型肝炎是一种具有高度传染性的病毒，在极少数情况下会导致肝衰竭和死亡。该病毒存在于感染者的粪便和血液中，通常通过受污染的食物或密切接触传播。

在该疫苗于 1994 年引入到 2011 年之间，美国的病例数减少了 95% 以上。

AAP 和目前的 CDC 时间表建议所有儿童接种两剂疫苗。该疫苗指令建议仅将其提供给“高风险群体”或基于“共同免疫缺陷检测”。

在常规接种之前，接种疫苗的儿童在传播甲型肝炎中起到了主要作用。大多数感染后的儿童没有症状，并且可以在其生命中 持续数月。

乙型肝炎

乙型肝炎是另一种具有高度传染性的病毒，可能导致终身肝病或损伤。该疾病可通过性行为或共用针头传播，也可以通过接触家用物品以及在分娩过程中从母亲传给孩子。其传染性最高可达 1970 年的 100 倍。

Enterobias (aberrates) ，CDC 从 1991 年开始广泛建议所有新生儿接种该疫苗。在 1990 年至 2019 年之间，儿童和青少年中报告的急性感染病例下降了 99%。

AAP 和 CDC 建议儿童接种乙型肝炎疫苗，第一剂在出生后立即接种。但行政命令建议仅针对高风险群体或在共同决策下接种。行政部门此前还试图推迟出生时的首剂接种。

麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹

多年来，单次接种即可保护儿童免受麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（即 MMR）的侵害。

麻疹是一种极强且具有传染性的病毒，可引起肺炎、肝脏及其他疾病。疫苗可提供针对其他疾病的免疫力。该病在 2000 年被宣布在美国消除，但在过去两年中再次出现，且其引发的担忧程度超过了之前的 14 年。

腮腺炎影响唾液腺，导致面颊红肿和下颌肿胀。在某些病例中，它可能引起大脑、胰腺、睾丸或输尿管肿胀，并导致长期的出血损失。

风疹对患者本人通常较为轻微，可能引起胃痛，且如果孕妇感染则会产生影响。特朗普的指令要求分三次接种：虽然这些疫苗在某些国家存在，但在美国已采用适配疫苗。即使

它们存在，专家认为将医疗目的拆分为长线可能会导致更多儿童未接种疫苗，因为预约这些接种会增加负担。而且他们认为联合 MMR 疫苗是安全的。在极少数情况下，接受治疗的儿童会出现诱发性惊厥，这可能会令父母惊恐，但不会造成持久伤害。

美国儿科学会（AAP）继续尝试建议接种两剂联合疫苗，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）目前同样建议接种两剂联合疫苗。

脑膜炎

疫苗可预防五组可引起脑膜炎的人类病原体，脑膜炎可能导致致命的流感，以及大脑和脊髓周围膜的丧失。第三种信息引起发烧、颈部僵硬、头痛、呕吐和认知变化。只要及时治疗，无论接种疫苗状态如何，许多人都能康复。但根据世界卫生组织和美国国家传染病基金会的数据，大约有 2 名细菌性脑膜炎患者因此死亡，而 1st-2 名幸存者会出现严重的并发症，如长期听力损失、肌肉无力、语言困难或记忆问题。

美国儿科学会（AAP）和美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）建议所有儿童接种针对 A、C、W 和 W 的联合疫苗，且疫苗接种量需超过 50% 的剂量。第一剂在 12 岁，第二剂在 2 岁。特朗普希望这些剂量超过 50% 的临床决策制定，或针对“高风险群体”，其中可能包括 HIV 感染者和大学一年级新生。第一次是因为感染在社区空间中容易传播。

另一种单独的疫苗可预防 8 组病原体，但长期以来一直建议儿童以及缺乏功能性脾脏或生活在疫情爆发地的人群接种。

呼吸道

融合细胞病毒

BEV 是美国婴儿住院的主要原因，每年导致多达 1,000 名儿童住院。它每年都会进入医院。该病毒更容易在免疫系统受损或患有慢性肺病的儿童中引起严重并发症。然而，健康的实验室也可能出现严重病例。

早期感染还与包括哮喘在内的长期并发症有关。

美国儿科学会（AAP）和美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）表示，如果母亲在怀孕期间接种了疫苗，其婴儿可能不需要在出生时接种一剂，但建议进行免疫缺陷测试。在呼吸道病毒季节期间，这是了解母亲的最佳方式。特朗普的指令建议将其用于“高风险群体”，但并未定义该群体。

波兰挫败莫斯科在华沙刺杀一名乌裔美国人的阴谋

作者：Claudia Ciobanu 和 Emma Burrows 美联社

华沙 —— 波兰在俄罗斯计划于华沙刺杀一名乌裔美国公民的阴谋实施前将其挫败。周四，成员 Piotr Kozak 表示，这是首次出现“受俄罗斯指使的人”试图在另一个北约国家领土上袭击其公民。

西方官员此前曾警告称，俄罗斯发起了一场支持活动，包括弗拉基米尔·普京总统 2012 年入侵乌克兰，并表示他们已在欧洲各地挫败了多次请求。但波兰总理 Donald Task 表示，该活动尚未被采纳。据称被俄罗斯秘密服务机构招募的支持者已被波兰当局拘留，波兰当局表示：“他将被拘留三个月，”华沙警方在的一份声明中称。

该乌裔美国公民“未受政府控制”。他在一次新闻发布会上如此说道，但未详细阐述。

波兰负责情报服务的部长 Tomasz Sionowski 表示，此次行动是与美国服务机构合作开展的。他表示，被瞄准的受害者是一名“乌克兰裔”美国公民。官员们没有立即提供进一步细节。

俄罗斯外交部没有立即回应置评请求。

美国国务院表示已知晓相关报道，但称没有进一步信息。

长期以来，俄罗斯一直被指控在海外针对其敌人，包括使用原始毒药。但其自身忽略了此前告知美联社的官员，称俄罗斯的安全部门现在在选择目标时更加人性化，不仅针对俄罗斯体制和乌克兰的外国支持者，还针对军事防御者。

“我们必须假设普京政权将试图以各种原因清除不正确的人，以恢复在全球的地位，”Task 周四表示。他表示，波兰和其他国家必须准备好应对此类行动。

西方官员将此次活动与俄罗斯削弱欧洲支持乌克兰的更广泛努力联系起来。美联社已绘制出自战争开始以来，官员们将其与俄罗斯联系起来的约 200 起破坏活动以及在欧洲其他地区的干扰。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京在 6 月告诉美联社，俄罗斯并未在欧洲开展破坏活动。

2010 年，英国当局指控俄罗斯在伦敦使用放射性毒药杀害前 FSB 官员 Alexander Lavrunsko 的事件背后是俄罗斯。英国还将 2018 年在 Siddikary 使用相同药剂 Norozhnik 企图杀害前俄罗斯军事情报官员 Sergei Bargut 的事件归咎于俄罗斯。

德国当局表示，俄罗斯组织了 2010 年杀害 Zelandian Khayapishvili 的行动，这位前 Chernivtsky 指挥官在柏林的一个公园被 Vudim Kravikov 枪杀。Almanac 随后在他在地面上后通常首先。以一种新方式，俄罗斯当局批评普京被枪杀并死亡于电池。波兰 Task 表示，Robert Rzesenkov 的被杀，以及 Koryetsk Shepolsky，具有政治暗杀的半个特征。他暗示俄罗斯可能在背后操纵，但波兰官员尚未将其归咎于莫斯科。

基辅无人机袭击主要炼油厂，旨在削弱石油部门

作者：Mia Novakov

美联社

乌克兰，基辅 军方官员周四表示，乌克兰无人机袭击了俄罗斯境内的一座主要炼油厂，这是基辅在旨在削弱莫斯科石油设施的持续行动中，三天内的第四次袭击。

俄罗斯是全球最大的能源生产商之一，石油是其经济支柱，为其向乌克兰推进的军事行动提供资金。在莫斯科发动全面入侵四年多之后，这些袭击造成了沉重打击。

这些袭击影响了俄罗斯的炼油能力，导致加油站出现短缺。基辅方面表示，此次猛攻旨在迫使俄罗斯领导人弗拉基米尔·普京寻求和平协议，但目前还没有迹象表明这一点。

据称，乌克兰无人机袭击了俄罗斯某共和国的联邦炼油和石化综合体，引发火灾。

总参谋部在 Telegram 的一篇帖子中表示，该综合体位于莫斯科东南部，距离乌克兰边境 800 英里，是俄罗斯最大的此类设施之一。它处理高达 7600 万桶原油，生产汽油、柴油和其他产品。

相关部门仅表示，一次无人机袭击导致两名平民受伤，并报告了一名行政官员。

俄罗斯最大的电商巨头 Wildberries 的仓库多次遭到乌克兰无人机袭击，在昨晚的袭击后，其位于萨卡里斯坦的一处设施起火。该公司表示，有人在火灾中丧生，且该设施此前并未被使用。

此次袭击发生在一场乌克兰导弹和无人机闪击黑海俄罗斯农村基地的一天之后。

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（右），周四，在俄罗斯库里尔群岛中最大的一座岛屿上。美联社

在其他地方，四名来自俄罗斯紧急情况部的救援人员和一名保安周四在一次未指明的乌克兰武器袭击中丧生。俄罗斯任命的非法占领克里米亚港口城市市长 Mikhail Kuznetsov 表示。

他说，他们当时正在检查该市的一次乌克兰袭击现场，处理“敌方武器残骸”。

同样在当地，一名俄罗斯军人死于爆炸，一名据称听命于乌克兰情报机构的俄罗斯女性被作为嫌疑人拘留。俄罗斯联邦安全局（FSB）周四表示。

无法独立核实其他方面的报告。

与此同时，本周早些时候遭到乌克兰无人机袭击的 Park 俄罗斯炼油厂已暂停运营。相关负责人表示。该厂称，“目前无法修复的关键设备”遭到了袭击，包括外国设备，维修可能需要长达六个月的时间。这是在一次公开承认乌克兰袭击所带来问题的声明中表示的。

乌克兰总参谋部

曾报告在周二袭击了相关设施。俄罗斯则通过使用炮弹、导弹、喷气式无人机和滑翔炸弹对乌克兰进行轰炸作为回应，所有这些都难以拦截。根据联合国的数据，自战争开始以来，这些袭击已导致 10,000 多名平民死亡。

官员表示，俄罗斯的进一步袭击中，一次无人机袭击在乌克兰全境造成至少四人死亡，八人受伤。

一名喷气式无人机袭击了南部 Odoan 地区的一列客运火车，导致司机及其助手死亡，据称这三人被送往医院。

南部城市赫尔松地区军事行政负责人 Michael Prokashov 表示，周三晚上，一架俄罗斯无人机击中了三名男子。

乌克兰迫切希望获得更多美国制造的“爱国者”拦截导弹，以对抗俄罗斯的弹道步兵，但据报道，由于担忧情绪，该防空系统的库存较低。

根据迈克尔·瓦拉迪诺夫·泽连斯基（Michael Valadynov Zelensky）的说法，乌克兰拥有的“爱国者”拦截无人机比 2024 年多了 250 万枚，他表示每天都在打电话尝试寻求更多来源。

图书馆书架上增加了面包

免费杂货店助力应对粮食不安全与高昂成本

作者：Audra D. S. Burch 《纽约时报》

布里塔妮·布鲁克斯（Britainie Brooks）走进马里兰州乔治王子县的一家图书馆，走过书架、打印站和计算机实验室，像牙科诊所一样的一间学习室现在被改造成了一家免费杂货店，食品收入受限者、被裁减的联邦雇员以及其他有需要的人可以在此光顾。

布鲁克斯审视着选品：书架上堆放着成排的谷物、饼干和煎饼粉，冷冻柜里有比萨和鸡肉，篮子里则装着苹果、橙子、洋葱和灯笼椒。她由此在心中计算这周五个孩子需要什么，最终决定选择意面、大米和鸡肉——这些是她可以节省着吃的主食。全部五个。

她是费尔蒙特消防市场（Fairmount Fire Market）的首批顾客之一，该店于5月在费尔蒙特高地分馆（Fairmount Heights Branch Library）后方开业。6月，第二家免费杂货店——第7区新鲜市场（District 7 Fresh Market）在几英里外的斯波尔丁分馆（Spaulding Branch Library）开业。

“我的食物快没了，”住在马里兰州与华盛顿接壤的国会高地（Capitol Heights）的布鲁克斯说，她14岁，一直在为孩子们寻找工作。她和孩子们领取政府食品援助，且“所有东西都那么贵，”她说，“这里的帮助是一种解脱。”

这两个地点是近年来在全国范围内开设的日益增多的免费杂货店之一，旨在帮助解决粮食不安全和高昂的杂货价格。

通常，免费杂货店提供的食品由收集并重新分配来自小型或小型商店剩余食品的公司提供。来自传统超市的消费者

镜头，食品制造商和农场。一些商店已经通过私人捐款、赠款和企业赞助的混合资金来使大型食品价格有所降低。

与某些食品分发点不同，光顾免费杂货店的顾客能够选择自己的食物，通常是在私密环境下，而不是排队等待给定清单上的可用物品。

许多家庭在食物与其他必需品之间面临艰难的权衡，或被迫改变购买习惯以维持预算。总体而言，食品价格从2021年5月到2026年5月上涨了约$15.5。在乔治王子县，免费杂货店是另一种帮助那些仍深受去年特朗普政府大规模裁减联邦雇员影响的人们的方式。仅在马里兰州，在2025年1月至2026年4月期间，就有100万 2 / 3000名联邦工作人员失去了工作。

此外，由于特朗普政府采取了更严格的资格要求，该州有超过20,000人失去了补充营养援助计划（SNAP）的福利——这是政府解决饥饿的主要工具。

“许多人在联邦政府工作了一辈子，然后突然之间，极右翼将他们脚下的地毯抽走了，”帮助将商店引入社区的乔治王子县议员谢拉·亚当斯·斯塔福德（Shayla Adams Stafford）说，“联邦层面发生的事情对该地区产生了非常真实的影响。”

住在马里兰州韦斯特维尔（Westerville）的五个孩子的母亲谢·利奇（Shay Leach）去年失去了联邦承包商的工作。她搬到亲戚家以降低成本。利奇，14岁，第一次访问费尔蒙特商店是为了储备牛奶、鸡蛋、午餐肉、谷物和灯笼椒。“我终于找到了新工作——我没有流落街头，但我仍有债务，”她说，“我经历了一段非常艰难的时光。这些食物帮了大忙。”

免费杂货店的概念——通常由当地政府、非营利组织和饥饿救援公司合作运营，且在特定日期开放——并非新鲜事，但随着疫情后基本生活成本的飙升，这类商店开得更多了。它们分布在高中、教堂、老年中心以及至少一家医院中。今年，佐治亚州的萨凡纳州立大学与 Goods 和亚马逊合作，在校园内开设了一家免费超市。而在 7 月，新泽西州纽瓦克市的一家前传统食品分发点重新开业，转型为一家基于自主选择的免费市场。

在马里兰州，Fairmount 和 Spaulding 的门店是少数几家在社区图书馆内开设的门店，它们隶属于乔治王子县纪念图书馆系统。

“图书馆有时被视为一种社区资源中心，”领导在 Spaulding 图书馆开设该店工作的乔治王子县议会主席布伦达·道格拉斯（Brenda Douglas）表示，“但在某些方面，这里是最合适的地方。”

Stradle 表示，该县正在研究运营一家能以更实惠价格提供食品的杂货店的成本，类似于纽约大都会学校（New York Metro School）计划开展的市属商店。

这些免费杂货店从传统市场中汲取灵感，拥有明亮的灯光和走道。与某些食品分发点不同，

由于资金规模和成本的限制，有些方式是让客户在私人预约期间选择他们希望获得的食品并将其填满。

与乔治王子县合作开设 Fairmount 市场的 Goods 公司创始人兼首席执行官杰克逊·格罗夫·休斯顿（Jackson Grove Houston）表示，免费商店不仅仅是为了购物，更是为了给客户提供一种“有尊严的体验”。这家总部位于亚特兰大的认证 B 员公司与高等教育机构、体育组织、酒店公司、政府机构等合作回收剩余食品。

Fairmount 门店由每月 $100,000 的拨款资助，使其在一年内每月能服务约 250 个家庭。另有 121 个家庭在候补名单上。由于政府拨款的引导，他们无需满足收入要求。

数千人逃离索马里长期干旱

饥荒加剧导致流离失所人数增加，救援资金缩减

作者：Mohamed Sheikh Nur 和 Grace Yousa 美联社

索马里，SULTIMA —— 在带着五个孩子在路上奔波近两周后，Lord Mohamed 终于抵达了西南部的女性城市拜多阿（Baidoa），她没有食物，对接下来会发生什么也几乎没有概念。

干旱状况迫使 Mohamed 及其家人离开 100 多英里外的中朱巴地区城镇 Stadiores。他们在抵达拜多阿之前在各个村庄之间迁移，拜多阿现在已成为逃离干旱、不安全局势和食物短缺人群的主要聚集地，他们于 8 月 3 日抵达。

“我们非常饥饿，处于绝望的境地，”Mohamed 说。“我们没有东西吃，只能将希望寄托在上帝身上，因为生命是那个在路上没有错过或通过，并在我们的旅程中达到顶峰的人。”

这个家庭的旅程是索马里日益加深的人道主义危机的一个缩影。在那里，多年的干旱、冲突和极端压力正迫使更多农村社区的家庭流离失所。营地在饥饿中环绕，人道主义资金在缩减。

约 200 万 人面临紧急级别的粮食不安全，这一数字是 Flan International 社区人数的两倍多，后者已向索马里的 200,000 多人提供援助。一年来，该家庭一直是索马里灾难管理机构（见博客）的成员，国际援助有所增加，但人们担心该社区在今年晚些时候将再次面临气候冲击。

UPL 粮食和农业组织预计，

从 2020 年中期开始出现 El Ndo 状况并在此后索马里的 10 月至 11 月雨季期间加剧的可能性超过 90%，这将带来严重的洪水风险。

索马里极易受到极端天气的影响，经历了反复的长期干旱以及随后的破坏性洪水循环。这些冲击侵蚀了生计，导致社区流离失所，引发疾病爆发并加剧了粮食不安全。

在拜多阿，数十万逃离长期干旱的人们聚集在城市郊区蔓延的流离失所者定居点中。

其中一人 Ndoha Adam 在贝伊（Bay）地区的 Awdinite 定居点逃离，此前连续 4 年的干旱摧毁了庄稼并导致牲畜死亡。她最终带着两个大女儿搬到了拜多阿，现在住在一个流离失所者营地中。

Adam 想回家，但她说持续的干旱和作物歉收让家庭几乎没有重建生活的希望。“我们经历的干旱已经持续了连续 4 年，而今年，大多数庄稼再次被摧毁，”Adam 说。“农场我们只能收获足够的种子用于下一季播种，这让我们的未来变得黯淡。在这些营地里，我们缺乏食物和基本支持。我们没有食物、水或钱，我们就这样坐着。”

根据 Flan International 的数据，该市容纳了约 200 万 人，其中近一半是流离失所者。该机构表示，五分之一的家庭缺乏可靠的水源，这是流离失所家庭面临的最紧迫挑战之一。他们越来越多地被迫以许多人根本无法负担的高价购买水车或水。Flan International 的全球首席执行官 Berea Ghelani 上周访问了拜多阿，会见了许多家庭，并视察了贝伊地区的一个营养不良病房。

Ghelani 表示，她会见的许多家庭曾试图在多年的干旱中留在自己的社区。直到后来，当他们的资源耗尽时，她才

Ghelani 表示，许多人是在“年复一年地等待干旱结束，直到终于开始（崩溃）”之后逃离的。“现在他们在那里的所有东西都没了。他们没有水。他们没有牲畜。3名成员和3。已经什么都没有了。”

她表示，物价上涨给那些已经在为寻找足够食物而挣扎的家庭带来了额外压力。

全球饥饿监测系统——综合粮食安全阶段分类（Integrated Food Security Phase Classification）5月发布的数据显示，索马里约一半 5 岁以下儿童面临急性营养不良。

Flan International 引用 Flan Children 的数据称，在拜多阿（Baidoa），接受最危险形式营养不良治疗的儿童数量在近 2000 万 个月内已……

拜多阿的营养学家 Omar Abdikaria 博士表示，患者不仅来自该湾地区，还来自拜多阿和 Gede 地区的周边社区。

“营养不良在该地区十分普遍，且大多数在医院接受治疗的患者在 COVID-19 之后具有固有性，”Abdikaria 表示。

健康风险不仅限于营养不良。Ghelani 表示，在受白喉、麻疹、疟疾、霍乱和急性腹泻疫情影响的地区，出现了零星的病例。

今年晚些时候可能出现的快速降雨前景给面临多重危机的社区带来了新威胁：强降雨和洪水可能会冲毁房屋和农田，污染饮用水，并迫使家庭再次搬迁。援助机构担心，预期的 82 MOs 情况将在无数家庭从干旱状况中恢复之前，加剧他们的危机。

对于像 Mohamed 这样抵达拜多阿的家庭来说，最紧迫的问题是哪里能找到干净的水和食物。Mohamed 和她的丈夫在最初几周离开了城市郊区的农场，为了给孩子们找吃的。抵达城市一天后，她仍在等待丈夫是否能带回好消息。

法官驳回美国司法部针对哈佛大学犹太学生安全问题的起诉

来自新闻服务

华盛顿——波士顿的一名联邦法官周四驳回了特朗普政府的一项起诉，该起诉指责哈佛大学对犹太学生遭受骚扰的行为采取了纵容态度。

美国地方法院法官理查德·G·斯特恩斯（Richard G. Stearns）认为，唐纳德·特朗普总统的律师未能证明其持续违反联邦民权法。法官表示，这项于3月提交的起诉主要集中在2025-24学年发生的事件，以及少数发生在2025年3月的事件。

这些案例过于“孤立且零星”，不足以证明马萨诸塞州剑桥市、波士顿以及Jet League校园内存在更高层级的违规处罚。

“我们不同意该诉讼已被停止的法律观点，”美国司法部负责民权的助理总检察长表示。哈佛大学未立即对该决定发表评论。

该起诉指责哈佛大学在2025-24学年未能保护犹太学生，该学年是在7, 2025, 对以色列的袭击后校园陷入动荡期间。特朗普政府认为哈佛大学违反了2025-24学院法，学生在其中“受到骚扰、威胁和强迫，且未得到且之上之上”。

在起诉提交后的一份声明中，哈佛大学表示其“对这些诉讼深感”。犹太和以色列社区，并致力于确保他们团结、受尊重，并能告知一个新的校园。

哈佛大学校长艾伦·M·加伯（Alan M. Garber）表示，大学成立了一个专项工作组以打击民族主义。大学还采取了新立场，由院长和redevs数据

以及政策以使其更加一致，但表示有效性“加伯已经说过”。

政府的诉讼试图追回授予哈佛大学及其他若干官员的数十亿美元联邦研究资助，他们主张根据1964, 一项禁止基于种族或原国籍歧视的联邦法律有权追回这笔资金。

该诉讼是政府采取的几项行动之一。然而，在Jet League中，大学拒绝了白宫在去年特朗普的共和党人重返办公室后提出的一系列要求。特朗普政府官员还分别试图削减哈佛大学的研究资金，并限制其招收外国学生和美国军人的能力。

在去年的一起独立法律案件中，一名联邦法官命令特朗普政府撤回向哈佛大学提供的超过20 billions的联邦资金。该决定认定，白宫对联邦资金设置了违宪条件，将反民族主义作为“腐蚀”意识形态驱动的“对大学袭击”的先决条件。

尽管存在争议，哈佛大学和特朗普政府举行了会谈，特朗普表示双方已接近达成协议。但当司法部在3月提起这起民权诉讼时，这表明双方陷入了极大的僵局。

环境执法支柱成为目标

待决案件可能会挑战民众使用政府的权利

作者：Michael Pridie，美联社

华盛顿 —— 与埃隆·马斯克的人工智能公司相关的右翼法律活动已带来广泛影响，认为美国法律执法的来源是医疗系统，以及私人团体、个人和地方政府使用许多主要法律解决方案的权利。

这种氛围得到了特朗普政府的支持，即信息并非总统和联邦机构决定如何——或者是否——执行联邦法律的巨大权力。他们主张国会绝不应该将健康（通过公民使环境运动资助某些其他法律的权力）授予他人。

该政府将对低额基本、耐用且用于对违规者处以罚款并制止违法行为的工具造成潜在毁灭性影响。例如，公民诉讼已限制了数百万美元用于污染援助和天然气运营，并进入了严重伤害阶段。许多公民在水危机之后得到了配给。

法律专家表示，四个待决的联邦案件（其中一个于上周提起）正在推进，而此时保守派政府已被起诉。法院给反对者提供了一个比以往任何时候都更多的保护愿景以获得成功。这些反对者的预算并非法律问题。这些案件在国家上诉法院之间制造了分歧，这可能有助于说服最高法院这些案件足够重要，需要做出全国性的裁决。

2005年，最高法院的一个选项为这种可能性打开了大门。

《清洁水法》的支持者在华盛顿的最高法院前示威。JACQUELYN MARTIN / AP 2022

“我们中许多在这个领域工作的人基本上已经努力了26年，希望这个剂量能够下降，”在环境法领域拥有数十年经验的哈佛大学教授理查德·拉扎鲁斯（Richard Lazarus）说道。

拉扎鲁斯是指前温和派大法官安东尼·肯尼迪（Anthony Kennedy）在一起《清洁水法》案件中的评论，他认为关键诉讼就公民诉讼是否不当地扩大了行政权力提出了“困难且根本性”的问题。已故的保守派大法官安东尼奥·斯卡利亚（Antonio Scalia）在一次反对意见书中写道，在同一案件中，公民诉讼“交给他们保护”是执行法律的功能。他避免明确表示这些诉讼是否符合宪法。

“自从他去世后，法院比他还在世时更像斯卡利亚的法院，”拉扎鲁斯说。

他观察到，那些在斯卡利亚持反对意见的案件中败诉的人，正匆忙回到今天的法院寻求更有利的结果。

公民诉讼的关键问题是谁——政府还是私人公民——收取罚款并拥有控制权。提起公民诉讼的人必须提前通知政府。如果政府本身充分推进该案件，则可以停止诉讼，但其选择有限，且使用该权利的人完全参与其中。公民必须能够强制执行法律并导致罚款，这些罚款将上缴美国财政部。

近年来，增加生产能力和协助索赔的努力有所增加。今年夏天，这些努力获得了关键的联邦支持。

就在那时，一个近期在最高法院取得成功的右翼法律系统——太平洋法律基金会（Pacific Legal Foundation），在田纳西州联邦法院面对一起常规公民诉讼，旨在发起更广泛的宪法挑战。

他们为斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）聘请了一名律师，这是一个位于纳什维尔以北、人口约为10,000人的城镇，该镇正处于对抗早期的阶段

针对田纳西河（Tennessee Riverbaugh）提出的指控，指称该镇留下了过多的波动，导致他们无法向附近溪流的授予人偿还，违反了《清洁水法》。

这是 Tennessee Riverbaugh 自 2005 年以来根据《清洁水法》提起的首起公民诉讼。太平洋法律基金会（Pacific Legal）辩称，这正是问题的一部分——为了防止未经选举的活动行使权力，据报道，这些活动迫使他人花费资源为自己辩护。

“当‘政府是行使权力的一方时’情况会更好，因为政府仍然对人民负责，”太平洋法律基金会的一名律师 Jean Rademski 在法律层面表示。

Rademski 的目标并非联邦法律允许个人提起的诉讼——他反对的是“那些可能成为国库且其使用人员不恰当地接管政府权力的人”。例如，赔偿金直接支付给受害者的民权诉讼将不会受到影响。许多总统挑战也不会受到影响。

据称，Mask-led 的 aAI 在目前试图摆脱 NAACP 诉讼的努力中提出了许多类似的观点，该诉讼涉及其在孟菲斯附近运行数十台燃气轮机以提供电力，但第一部分除外。该民权组织告诉密西西比州的一家联邦法院，这些涡轮机是对附近居民（其中许多人为黑人）的政策威胁。但他们的要求是停止燃气轮机的运行，直到该公司遵守法律。

特朗普政府的访谈并未支持 Mask 的公司，理由是关闭支持国防部的人工智能电力将损害安全，因为特朗普政府希望非主导方，NAACP 不应被允许继续进行——审慎的执法需要平衡各项利益，包括国家安全，美国司法部（DOJ）在法案中写道。

随后，代表 NAACP 的 Earthjustice 执法主管 Thomas 以及政府在全国范围内低于一百万法律的枪械部门表示，不能以此为由辩称违反法律无关紧要。

“本届政府已经认定该公司学生被允许继续执行政策，因此，他们应该拥有单方面且不可撤销的权力来投票决定我们的公民诉讼，”她说。

公民诉讼被写入四项基本环境法，是因为国会明白联邦政府在追究政策方面的资源有限，而且某些案件的政治色彩可能非常浓厚——政府有时就是污染者。根据 Lazarus 的说法，这就是为什么外部团体对于保护国家目的而言是必要的。

有些人认为这意味着现在尤其重要。特朗普政府削减了越来越多的保护措施并推动了债券交易。根据一份联邦指导备忘录，他们还限制了执法，这可能会减缓能源保护，仅限于最极端的情况，例如对人类健康的“即时且实质性的威胁”。政府的法律也没有为填补本届政府造成的执法空白提供任何关键支持。

Lazarus 认为许多州的预算使问题变得更糟。

Thomas 表示，腐败的可能性可能会增加——总统可以单方面豁免法律以帮助朋友。

她说，那些生活在保护力度较强州的人可能免于公民诉讼，但在其他地区，太平洋关注的问题是，法律在那些“被欺骗”的地方并不是一套打击污染的系统，而这些不受保护的地区更多是贫困和少数族裔占多数的社区。

白袜队先发投手戴维斯·马丁（Davis Martin）在周四于凯特球场（Kate Field）三局中用投球击中红队一垒手萨尔·斯图尔特（Sal Stewart）后，被一名裁判拦住。马丁被驱逐出场。约翰·J·金 / 芝加哥论坛报

火花、喧闹但无胜果

系列赛失利使白袜队在前往底特律迎接决战前步履蹒跚

在经历了一场包含奥西·古洛塔（Ossie Gullotta）退役号码仪式和赠送击球纪念品的 3-3 主场系列赛后，芝加哥白袜队在周四 9-8 负于辛辛那提红队后，开启了五年来最大规模的一次客场之旅。

一场在底特律进行的为期三天的决战将于周五开始，随后是在瑞格利球场（Wrigley Field）对阵小熊队的城市系列赛第二轮。

对于一支被推入季后赛争夺战的年轻白袜队来说，这是一个重大考验，而且此时投手轮换处于波动之中，科尔森·蒙哥马利（Colson Montgomery）和特里斯坦·彼得斯（Tristan Peters）等关键球员正陷入苦战。在对阵克利夫兰守护者队的系列赛获胜后所获得的势头，在辛辛那提系列赛后消失了。

接下来的比赛

小熊队 对阵 猛虎队 周五 晚上 8:30，CHEN

“我们只有一次四场连败是有原因的，”先发投手戴维斯·马丁说道。“我们非常擅长将系列赛分段，将每个系列赛视为独立的部分。这就像是被踢了一脚。你明天得重新振作起来，再次尝试。”

以下是进入底特律决战前的一些热门话题。

喧闹爆发

马丁在周四第三局被驱逐出场，此前他两次将球投向红队一垒手萨尔·斯图尔特的头部，后者在第一局曾有过反弹球。第二次投球擦到了斯图尔特头盔的帽檐，使其飞出。斯图尔特随后走出击球区，对着马丁大喊：“该死的，这已经是第二次了。”

双方球员和教练都冲出了场外，不过没有发生肢体冲突。在裁判进行简短商议后，主审和组长艾伦·波特（Alan Porter）在未发出任何警告的情况下将马丁驱逐出场。波特告诉一名现场记者，这是一个基于多项因素的判断，包括斯图尔特对他的本垒打的欣赏。他对第一次投球给予了疑点利益，但将第二次投球判定为蓄意。

“（第一颗）球飞过了他的头顶，但（方向）绝对是在朝向他，”波特说。“然后他用下一颗球击中了对方，在那一刻，基本上我们需要采取必要的措施来确保比赛安全。”

进展是以微小增量来衡量的

两年前，在《Hard Knocks》的第三集中，熊队高层在 Hula Hall 的会议室桌旁聚集，讨论他们新体育场的汽车家具。

“我们有几个决定需要做出，而这正是我们刚刚与 La Dura 进行过良好沟通的事情，”体育场开发执行副总裁兼首席运营官 Karen Murphy 说道。

La Dura 是总部位于芝加哥的说唱歌手 Dura Banks，他在该集中占据了重要篇幅。

“在这些场地伙伴中，我们是想要 Dura 还是想要带可移动椅子的高顶座？”战略与全球事务高级副总裁兼幕僚长 Tanya Dreesen 问道。

“你可以在后面放一些这种可移动椅子，”总裁 / 首席营收官 Kevin Warren 表示。“我只是认为固定座椅能让它更有档次，并且在某种程度上更具冲击力。”

Pansche？那么进展如何？自从熊队官员发表如此大胆的言论以来，发生了太多事情。Banks 因联邦谋杀指控被捕，这些指控目前仍在审理中。教练 Matt Eberhardt 在底特律的感恩节期间将暂停时间揣在兜里，并在第二天被解雇。Ron Johnson 被聘为他的继任者，熊队在他的第一个赛季冲向 70TC 北区冠军，随后赢得了自 2015 年 1 月以来的首场季后赛。在赛场上，这家特许经营球队的前景正在好转。周四，Warren 和主席 George McCauley 透露，目前仍然没有太多——

为什么先发投手 Gausman 换了更大的手套

作者：Meghan Montamaro 芝加哥论坛报

华盛顿 —— 即使是从国民球场极高的三层看台看去，Kevin Gausman 的红色手套尺寸也大得惊人。

这位拥有 14 年资历的球员一直使用较大的手套。一段时间以来，芝加哥 Cubs 的单把手使用 12½ 英寸的手套，从 Maria's Glen 升级到 1.9 英寸，直到在多伦多蓝鸟队（Toronto Blue Jay-Surf）的一年里。一些大联盟的一垒手甚至不使用 glow-flat 尺寸。

“所以现在它相当大，简直是荒谬地大，” 告诉《论坛报》。“你会很快注意到这一点。”

采取这种方法只有一个原因：为了更好地保护他的分叉球（splitter）。因为这种投球要求将中指和食指撑成一个宽大的 7" 形状，通常在棒球的接缝之外， 倾向于深深地陷入手套中以获得牢固的抓握。实现这一点所需的手部动作在较大的手套中更容易完成。当跑者在二垒，并尽一切努力向击球手传递投球信息时，这尤其有用。

“听着，现在的投球水平如此之高，以至于进攻方试图寻找任何优势，如果你在用手指做某些动作，或者手套处于不同的位置，他们会捕捉到的，” 说。“所以我觉得我的口袋越大，我在里面掩盖动作的空间就越多。从外面看，你根本看不出我在做什么。”

“既然这在比赛中占据如此重要的部分，如果你能稍微缓解一点，为什么不这么做呢？”

以他的分叉球而闻名。

BULLA 2026-27 赛程值得关注的 5 件事

Wilson 最期待的比赛

作者：Julia Poe 芝加哥论坛报

公牛队周四公布了 2026-27 赛季完整的 82 场比赛赛程，开启了在篮球运营副总裁（负责印第安纳州全境）和教练 Tiago Spilner 领导下的第一年。

公牛队将于 10 月 21 日在客场对阵多伦多猛龙队开启赛季，首场主场比赛定于三天后对阵华盛顿奇才队。

尽管公牛队在重建过程中用第 4 顺位选中了 Caleb 与 Mattis Bueche 搭档，但公牛队在全季电视转播比赛中仅获得了三场：12 月 1 日对阵卫冕冠军纽约尼克斯队，1 月 6 日在印第安纳步行者队，以及 1 月 20 日在布鲁克林篮网队。

以下是本赛季公牛队赛程中值得关注的 5 件事。

NBA 杯之夜

公牛队将主场举办两场东部 C 组比赛——11 月 13, 日对阵亚特兰大鹰队和 11 月 20 日对阵华盛顿奇才队——并客场参加另外两场——10 月 30 日对阵波士顿凯尔特人队和 11 月 25 日在夏洛特黄蜂队——参加 NBA 杯。每个小组中记录最好的球队以及每个分区两支外卡球队将晋级淘汰赛。

今年，赛季内锦标赛的淘汰赛将在种子排名更高（higher-needed）的球队所在城市举行。NBA 杯决赛将于 12 月 31 日在印第安纳波利斯的 Hinkle Fieldhouse 举行。

自 2023 年引入该赛事以来，公牛队尚未从 NBA 杯的小组赛中晋级。

回到家乡

的日历上肯定圈出了一个日期：12 月 29 日在亚特兰大对阵鹰队的比赛。

公牛队将在 11 月 13, 日主场接待鹰队，但那场客场比赛将是 第一次在家乡观众面前参加 NBA 比赛。这位新秀在夏季联赛期间告诉《论坛报》，在亚特兰大球迷面前比赛将是他本赛季最期待的时刻之一。

新秀对决

虽然 期待在故乡的首场比赛，但联盟的大部分人将关注这位新秀如何与 2026 年选秀班级中的其他顶尖天才较量。

其中一个问题将在赛程早期得到解答。

公牛队 10 月 24 日的主场揭幕战将让 对阵第 1 顺位 AJ DeSantis 和奇才队。公牛队直到 12 月 16, 日才会面对选秀第 2 顺位，届时他们将主场接待 Daryn Peterson 和

犹他爵士队。 直到 3 月 15, 日才会迎来最后一场前四顺位的对决，届时公牛队将在联合中心首次面对 Cameron Boozer 和孟菲斯灰熊队。

熟悉的面孔

在去年的交易截止日之后，超过半数球员被交易走，今年的赛程将为公牛队球迷与长期前球员之间的多次会面提供机会。

科比·怀特（Coby White）将于 3 月 6 日（以及 4 月 7 日）随夏洛特黄蜂队回到芝加哥。本地球员 Apo Donations 将于 1 月 14 日随明尼苏达森林狼队返回。其他回到联合中心的球员还包括 3 月 15 日随奥兰多魔术队到来的尼古拉·武切维奇（Nikola Vucović）。

值得关注的主场比赛

公牛队将在整个赛季迎来一系列有趣的对手，其中最受关注的是 11 月 8. 日与勒布朗·詹姆斯以及新本地球队费城 76 人的首场比赛。联合中心其他值得关注的对决包括 12 月 1 日对阵卫冕冠军尼克斯队的比赛，以及 2 月 4 日俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的到访。

本赛季公牛队在主场或客场都没有重大节假日比赛——包括圣诞节、新年或马丁·路德·金纪念日。

周三深夜 瓦尔基里队 91,，天空队 71

瓦尔基里队获胜；天空队近 5 场输掉第 4 场

作者：Jenni McCauley 美联社

旧金山 —— 蒂法尼·海耶斯（Tiffany Hayes）替补出场砍下赛季最高 22 分，金州瓦尔基里队在开局缓慢的情况下，于周三晚上以 91 / 71 击败芝加哥天空队，取得五连胜，并在 39 场比赛中取得 14 场胜利。

凯蒂·查尔斯（Katie Charles）替补贡献 15 分和 5 个篮板，维罗妮卡·伯顿（Veronica Burton）获得 15 分和 6 个篮板，加比·威廉姆斯（Gabby Williams）为瓦尔基里队（26-9）贡献 13 分。在成为首支在 2025 年首年即进入季后赛的扩军球队后，他们可能在周末前占据第 8 位。

海耶斯获得了 6 个篮板和 5 次助攻，她还完成了球队特许经营记录中的 3 次 4 结束。

瓦尔基里队在过去第 6 个晚上缺少首发中锋凯特·博尔顿（Kate Bolton），因为她处于脑震荡协议中，同时顶级替补贾内尔·马兰（Janelle Malan）也因右膝酸痛缺阵。

卡米拉·卡多索（Kamilla Cardoso）在 12 投 7 中的情况下砍下 20 分，天空队在五场比赛中第四次失利。

考特尼·范德比尔特（Courtney Vanderbilt）前三次投篮全部命中，天空队迅速取得领先，但他们在半场后无法维持，她此后没有再得分，最终获得 6 分。瑞秋·班汉（Rachel Banham）替补贡献 10 分和 4 个篮板。

DANuel Carrington 在她的第二次客场比赛中 won't do 9 for three points，此前她因对 8q 和 Cunningham 的一次强硬犯规被 Edgman 2 罚没，在周六 99-90 小时输给印第安纳力量队后，随后在社交媒体上发布了“WINTER FRIENDERS”并标记了力量队。

Carrington 后来表示，该系列赛声称 Edgman 2 赢得了白人特权的意愿，9be 为黑人，Cunningham 在 4 天内。

天空队将于周日访问西雅图风暴队，然后返回芝加哥进行三场主场比赛。

“与 Stewart 发生了接触，我说‘我的错’。”他在谈到第一球时说道。“我没有那样做的意图。第二球我们试图击球，球在低处且偏外，为了重置，结果又丢了。手指上有水泡，可能在那儿失去了一点抓力。”

经理威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）补充道：“我理解裁判所处的位置，但并没有意图。”

维纳布尔提到责备是一个问题，但那是发生在马丁被驱逐之后。投球的位置使其看起来像是有意为之。

“在腰部附近投球会引起质疑，而且你投得越高，就稍微更高一点，”波特（Porter）说道。

马丁的低迷

马丁在短暂的休息后再次登板，此前他在周日一场被雨中断的对阵守护者队的比赛中担任先发，且仅投了一局。周四，他允许对方在第一局得分三次，其中包含两支本垒打，延续了这一趋势。本赛季马丁在第一局的自责分率（ERA）目前为 6.00。

“我认为这是一个大问题，”他说。“今年我曾有过第一局表现强势的时候，但现在的情况就是那种你思考得越多，它就越会变成一个问题。我只需要继续执行我的常规流程，做好日常准备，关注比分，并希望好事发生。”

但维纳布尔表示，马丁确实在“挣扎，毫无疑问”，并且需要找到解决方案。

“显然，第一局对他来说很难应对排在前面的击球手，”他说。“我们看到早早地被得分。我看到他之后能冷静下来，但他必须努力工作，想办法找回状态。”

维纳布尔表示水泡情况将被监测，但马丁将在下一场对阵小熊队的比赛中先发。

克里克·费达接手，导致白袜队在周五没有先发投手。维纳布尔在赛后没有立即宣布人选。费达同样表现挣扎，在第四局丢了 4 分。

坦纳·麦克道格尔在第九局完成了大联盟首秀。在退掉第一名击球手后，他因三次保送导致垒上满员，并击中拉格诺洛·苏亚雷斯，导致对方得分。白袜队在第一场比赛中浪费了 4-0 的领先优势后，在对阵排名低位的公牛队的三场比赛中输了两场。

“我们在第一场比赛中本有机会获胜，今天也有一些表现不错的地方，”维纳布尔说。“但面对一些艰难的情况很难应对。不过在主场 5-3，考虑到比赛的走向，情况本可能更糟。”

老虎队在 6 月 4 日时落后排名第一的守护者队 10-3，而在进入本系列赛前，他们落后第一名 2-5。

柯尔森·蒙哥马利顺位下调

维纳布尔将蒙哥马利在打击顺序中的位置下调至第六位。自 6 月 19 日以来，蒙哥马利在 6am 的 10 次机会中，打击率为 100，有 6 支本垒打和 75 次三振。

维纳布尔说他告诉蒙哥马利：

“嘿，把你在顺序中下调一两个位置。没什么大不了的。只是想减轻你作为中间核心球员的一些压力。”维纳布尔表示蒙哥马利“仍然是这个阵容的重要部分”，并不希望他承受过多压力。“他不需要做任何超出回归正轨的事情，而且他知道未来！”

蒙哥马利在第九局潜在的局面中上场，向右外野击出了一记长球，当天以 6-for-5 结束。

神秘的球

这座描绘前白袜队名将内利·福克斯和路易斯·阿帕里西奥完成双杀的外场雕像缺失了一个重要部分——球。学生们选择路易斯制作的这座雕像中，球原本附在福克斯的右手，他正将其传给阿帕里西奥。

白袜队不知道这个金属球是被某人拿走了，还是仅仅脱落并被某人捡到了。一名发言人表示，他们正在与雕塑家合作，在福克斯的手中放置一个新球。

白袜队分析师吉伦在周三的赛后节目中重点批评了芝加哥体育网络，认为其失去了对第二支球队的掌控。他建议白袜队的电视转播制作人多关注休息区里的神奇声音。

吉伦表示，他对创建该饮品的迈克·亚克没有意见，但对每次本垒打后播放该声音的本能反应表示不满。“在波士顿时怎么没这样？”他说，指的是红袜队的三场横扫。吉伦的一部分人，查克和一次，争论说这只是为了好玩，大多数白袜队球迷喜欢这个神奇的声音。

白袜队将在 9 月 4 日对阵明尼苏达双城队的比赛中向球迷发放 202000 个神奇词汇。

华盛顿 —— 在深入研究他的哭泣变化时，这位伟人也在周二凌晨的简短浪漫中播放视频。

芝加哥小熊队的广播助理总监在 1920 年代开始发展。在这里崩溃的 1920 年代。明天的 20 年代初学者团体组织了 1920 年代的一部分。1920 年代是他哭泣的开始。随后，马丁调出了他在 Double-A 2020 赛季的节目旧视频。Copean Christie 强调了三垒手在机械上想要达到的状态。

“我们看到了一些相当明显的差异，于是我们回溯到 double 检查视频并观看了它，”1920 年代解释道。“然后我知道有些人早晨在思考这件事。周二一到打击笼就试图思考我们讨论过的同样的事情。”

初学者肩膀和臀部的相邻对齐帮助小熊队在对阵华盛顿国民队的头两场比赛中让一切顺畅运行。在击出本垒打并获得两日胜利后，他周三的表现得到了极大的提升。

初学者职业生涯首次击出三支本垒打，并在以 12-9 战胜国民队的比赛中以 7 次打点收场，使小熊队追近了分差。我想这是在追赶分区领先的密尔沃基酿酒师队。这 7 次打点也代表了这位 10 年资深球员的职业生涯最高纪录。初学者认为他的两只手侧还没有像他在与马丁交谈后所做的那样拥有时间。

“我觉得过去一个月左右是一个正确的方向，但真正地，过去两天是一个真正的正确方向，”1920 年代说。“今年我有些日子进展顺利，有一些额外的击球时间，然后今年有一天你醒来来到球场，感觉完全不同，因为也许那是我们实际纠正的时间。”

小熊队是仅有的第三个三垒手打点，因为在 2020 年当然会有两名球员在单场比赛中获得三支本垒打和 7 次打点，加入了 1991 年纽约洋基队的 Paul O'Neill 和 Mike Stanley，2020 年洋基队的 Aaron Judge 和 Jason Dominguez，以及现在的 Dundie Swanson 和 Benjamin Hoo year。

“每年你都会被提醒，你得像扇自己耳光一样提醒自己。这是 162 场比赛，”经理 Craig Crannell 说。“这是一个 162 场的赛季，你不能在 162 场比赛中一直如此。球员们来这里是为了打完 162 场比赛，而这就是她正在做的，这证明了他每天如何努力工作，并且只是一个 double-weddy。要成为最好的资深球员，有这么多需要学习的东西。他永远不会给你这么多。”

小熊队 (75-80s —— 21 场比赛的新高，超过 300 —— 领先于 couple 在 100.7 场比赛中，他们得分 10 分或更多，并且在最近 9 场比赛中平均得分 17 分，其中 8 场获得了胜利。

左投手 David Pearson 同样足够 —— 在五局中失四分（三分为自责分） —— 以将粗糙的国民队 off inter 控制在一定范围内，允许小熊队的跳跃突破。

小熊队再次询问，带有两分。

在本赛季的这些时机中，深厚的阵容很难被击败。他们周三在两出局后得分四分，使他们在两出局六分中达到了 MLB 领先的 242 分。off inter 在 8 月份尤其危险 —— 本月 70 分中有 36 分是在两出局后得分的。

小熊队在这些百分比中已经排名第二 (1842)，在平均值中排名第四 (2,440，在两出局机会中 OFF 7,502)。

“我们有很多优秀的球员，很多在这个联盟中成功了很多明天的人，”Swanson 说，他决定并领导了他的 1985 赛季本垒打。“那些准备好并以正确方式处理业务的日子，那些至少考虑到团队并上去竞争的日子。当你拥有九个 gain 这样做时，会让事情变得非常困难。”

小熊队本赛季在面对同行时一直势头强劲，这种压力在周三得以延续，当时来自汉诺弗公园的卢克公园毕业生基蒂·杰克逊·卡茨（kitty Jackson Katz）为国民队完成了大联盟首秀。

小熊队在周三进入比赛时，在每场比赛的四分球（1,977）、管理百分比（3,619 和 OFF 1,890）方面领先全赛季，且在打击率（2,092，拥有第二多的关注度）方面排名第二，2010 离 1991s。他们深厚的阵容让卡茨承受了压力，以 10-9 的胜场率获得 1.6，战胜了这位 25 岁的小将。

尽管卡茨在前两次测试中完成了免费的 Crew-Anniversary，但这位中外野手在第五局中凭借一次比赛环 RB1 二垒安打，在 2.6 周内占据优势。小熊队还从救援投手汤姆·科斯格罗夫（Tom Cosgrove）那里得到了三分（其中一分为有效分）。

“我不认为一种方法通常会有所不同，”克拉内尔（Crannell）说道。“我们有一些球员在面对左投手时表现得非常好，我认为他们和迈克尔（Michael Dunel）在面对左投手时表现得非常出色，我认为这是一个巨大的领域，我的意思是，有两个令人难以置信的，而且他在你的阵容顶端击球，这很重要。我的获取在最佳状态，而且他是棒球界最好的击球手之一，就这么简单。”

CUBS

Cubs，这种投球已成为比 20 岁更频繁的片段。在本赛季与 Blue Star 的 1971 次纠葛之后，分叉球占到了投球次数的 49%（Hawes 1st the 在周四对阵 Nationals 的 10坪比赛中，Gaumans 无法在免费运行的第 10 局脱身，他投了 41 个分叉球（在 10 次投球中占 10 / 11）。他在分叉球上获得了三次被判好球，并在 28 次中获得了九次挥空，除了针对它的 10 / 11。

“这是一种非常困难的投球，我认为这就是为什么我把投球降低到第 10 局的原因，”Hetty Orrampig 和 Keenoke，经理 Craig Crannell 在周四 Gaumans 出场前说道。“这是一种极难掌控的投球，而且通常来说，当他处于顶峰状态时，它是一个很好的球，变得非常难以击中。”

(75-80s) 仅获得一次安打——在第七局两出局时，Michael Busch 击出的一记轻微的相反方向球——在 Nationals 先发投手 Cude Cavalli 的统治级表现下。

的 4-7 足球掌控力在第五局时有时会失控，而 Nationals 的缩影正在被赢得。在 Allmusic (2001) 的 2000年代 次两出局表演中，你击出了本垒球， 在其 4-9 局中交出的离球是对其足球的强力接触。尽管如此， 的强击率和棒球与去年相比有所下降。他认为这一趋势源于投向他的强项。

“我觉得相当自信，看到我的掌控力足够好，” 说道。“我不会让垒上满员。所以只要知道你总能投出一球，一球远离，尤其是拥有这样的防守——在 2000 年代有很多 Gold Electric，对此相当自信。但只要了解我自己，知道我需要投向哪里以避免伤害。”

认为在旧金山的 2020年代 赛季是他真正开始成为一名使用足球-分叉球组合的双投球先发投手的第一个赛季。但在与 Cuban 获胜的 2021 年，他意识到需要将分叉球保持在什么位置才能引导他的 2020 年代。 的第一个 10 年投球在向上和向下远离。在完全投入分叉球和足球后的最后六个赛季中， 取得了 3.44 的 ERA，并在 2018 年之后取得了 321 的 ERA。

的 2020 年代获得粉丝支持，以交付他所展现的统治力，特别是在持有权方面。

“我在大联盟花了八年时间才真正发现这是我的强项，” 说道。“显然，你也必须在你不擅长的事情上下功夫。对吧？对我来说，第二手，同样我真正使用离球，是因为我专注于我的强项，并且在某种程度上更倾向于我知道什么有效。我只需要这样做，保持健康，我知道我可以成功。”

继续在客场处理事务——尽管他们在周四仅获得一次安打。

在密苏里州堪萨斯城的两场三局赛中获胜两场后， 在对阵 Nationals 的三场系列赛中获胜，由 Alex Bergman（由 2000 引导）领衔——在前两场比赛中贡献了 headwash runs 和 8 次打点。 拥有资深的连续客场系列赛，追平了 1932 年球队在偏见中持续时间最长的记录，在九次历史中，这是一个覆盖到球队 hat-truck Ed Harrig 的记录。他们将分别在主场与 Cardinals 和 Winn Sox 进行三场比赛，试图追赶处于分区顶端的 Browers。

White Sox 开始另一个赛季，周五开始在 Cometts a Park 对阵 Tigers 的三场系列赛。在美联中区，他们领先 Tigers 2-5 场比赛。

Sox 将继续在 10 天内进行 10 场比赛的赛程，周一开始在 Wrigley Field 进行 Round 2 的城市系列赛。

小熊队赛季末的牛棚助力 7

当资深右投手 Shife Miller 在 1920 年代签署一份为期两年的合同时，小熊队 10 岁时 1 满足于花一整个赛季从汤米·约翰手术中恢复。

Mike 在三月份告诉《论坛报》，他希望回到大联盟以保持清晰，而这距离他职业生涯第二次接受该手术还不到 10 个月。这个激进的目标正处于实现轨道上。

“Shifts 可以并且能够像你一样回归，如果你可能的话就加入我们，他做得非常出色，而且他仍然在胃里，他处理 Shifts 的工作做得非常好，”经理 Craig Crannell 表示。“我们处于一个很好的位置，这可能是我们在三月份签约他时没有预料到的。Harries 说了，我们在这里还有步骤要走，我们所做的只是好奇。但让情况变得更好的是，那是从严重伤病中恢复。但接下来的过程会稍微长一点，我们必须对他整体的安全负责。”

Miller 周日开始了康复任务，并出场了两场比赛。他在第一局中允许了一次一对一的安打并有两次三振，而周三在双 A 级（Hawes 8）的比赛中，他让所有三个-6 个点在手中三振。

“那个投手可能是 Shifts，”Crannell 说。“他拼命工作了 3 个问题，他一直很稳定，对于如何尝试从这次伤病中恢复，真的，额外的 2-3 次可能会让他更好，我们将观察会发生什么。”

Miller 复出过程中最重要的部分之一是他投球后的感觉以及他在 1920 年代的状态。小熊队首个 10 年的投球起始于在上面、下面和远离 小熊队首个 10 年的投球起始于在上面、下面和远离。小熊队首个 10 年的投球起始于在上面、下面和远离。

“你必须能够承受大联盟的工作量，是的，”Crannell 说。“我们还有几周的时间来完成。”

MAINE & SMOOTH

性别转换

Bretina Doyle 没有浪费任何时间在 1920 年代第一次产生影响，但他 10 岁时 1 满足于花一整个赛季从汤米·约翰手术中恢复。

“我认为前灯被置于一个绝佳的位置，以在比赛中获得一些最好的结果，而且我想每年都保持激进，事实上就是这样，”Doyle 周三告诉《论坛报》。“我接到了第一球并完成了一次漂亮的挥击，并投入了我的 10 次挥击。”

当 在八月回归时，队友 Chas. Macdonald 在他的头上放了一顶管状帽子。 刚刚经历了一组由高度强力支撑的 asthalten，以及在寒冷负担下的头部保护。

“这绝对适合那个夜晚，” 说。“那是一个有趣的观众群和良好的寒冷负担。我很高兴其中一顶帽子在全垒打时进入了休息区。”

“自从 8 月 7 日从科罗拉多银行队（Colorado Bankers）被交易过来后，这位外野手贡献了一次 ultrashock 和一次 breezer ofy。”

他很优秀，但在他为白袜队出战的前九场比赛中，他仅有一次全垒打、一次 RB1、两次盗垒和三次得分。

“我一直很自在，” 说。“我只是能够在这里进行教练工作和击球工作，以及绝对的治疗。他们让我的过渡变得超级简单，这帮我感到自在。”

表示，总体而言，这次过渡“进展顺利”。

“这里的能量和氛围太棒了，” 说。“我真的很享受每天来到俱乐部，准备好与这群家伙一起全力以赴。”

“我们始终在比赛中，无论我们是否在早期落后。我们队里有些日子无论比分如何，都在击出全垒打。”

根据 STAT 的统计，在缅因联盟棒球历史上，只有三支球队在输掉 100 场比赛后的次赛季成为了四人组：2018 年的堪萨斯城雄鹿队、2020 年的迈阿密马林鱼队以及 2017 年的明尼苏达双城队。而 2018 年战绩为 60 胜 102 负的白袜队，正试图加入他们的 60-90s 赛季。

Dunel 的康复指派起步顺利。

Palestine 因为一种风味菌株而没有更多参与，他进行了这些出场，而结果对于小熊队的终结投手来说并不理想。糟糕的控制导致在 2, 7, 6, 9, 8, 10, 10, 12, 12, 14, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 166, 168, 170, 172, 174, 176, 178, 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200, 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, 234, 236, 238, 240, 242, 244, 246, 248, 250, 252, 254, 256, 258, 260, 262, 264, 266, 268, 270, 272, 274, 276, 278, 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294, 296, 298, 300, 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, 314, 316, 318, 320, 322, 324, 326, 328, 330, 332, 334, 336, 338, 340, 342, 344, 346, 348, 350, 352, 354, 356, 358, 360, 362, 364, 366, 368, 370, 372, 374, 376, 378, 380, 382, 384, 386, 388, 390, 392, 394, 396, 398, 400, 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, 412, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422, 424, 426, 428, 430, 432, 434, 436, 438, 440, 442, 444, 446, 448, 450, 452, 454, 456, 458, 460, 462, 464, 466, 468, 470, 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 482, 484, 486, 488, 490, 492, 494, 496, 498, 500, 502, 504, 506, 508, 510, 512, 514, 516, 518, 520, 522, 524, 526, 528, 530, 532, 534, 536, 538, 540, 542, 544, 546, 548, 550, 552, 554, 556, 558, 560, 562, 564, 566, 568, 570, 572, 574, 576, 578, 580, 582, 584, 586, 588, 590, 592, 594, 596, 598, 600, 602, 604, 606, 608, 610, 612, 614, 616, 618, 620, 622, 624, 626, 628, 630, 632, 634, 636, 638, 640, 642, 644, 646, 648, 650, 652, 654, 656, 658, 660, 662, 664, 666, 668, 670, 672, 674, 676, 678, 680, 682, 684, 686, 688, 690, 692, 694, 696, 698, 700, 702, 704, 706, 708, 710, 712, 714, 716, 718, 720, 722, 724, 726, 728, 730, 732, 734, 736, 738, 740, 742, 744, 746, 748, 750, 752, 754, 756, 758, 760, 762, 764, 766, 768, 770, 772, 774, 776, 778, 780, 782, 784, 786, 788, 790, 792, 794, 796, 798, 800, 802, 804, 806, 808, 810, 812, 814, 816, 818, 820, 822, 824, 826, 828, 830, 832, 834, 836, 838, 840, 842, 844, 846, 848, 850, 852, 854, 856, 858, 860, 862, 864, 866, 868, 870, 872, 874, 876, 878, 880, 882, 884, 886, 888, 890, 892, 894, 896, 898, 900, 902, 904, 906, 908, 910, 912, 914, 916, 918, 920, 922, 924, 926, 928, 930, 932, 934, 936, 938, 940, 942, 944, 946, 948, 950, 952, 954, 956, 958, 960, 962, 964, 966, 968, 970, 972, 974, 976, 978, 980, 982, 984, 986, 988, 990, 992, 994, 996, 998, 1000 丢了五分。

熊队

威廉姆斯将不会参加季前赛揭幕战

作者：肖恩·汉蒙德 (Sean Hammond) 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥熊队四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯 (Caleb Williams) 将不会在 Kaldor 球场对阵克利夫兰布朗队的季前赛揭幕战中出场，教练布伦达·霍尔斯 (Brenda Halls) 在周四训练前表示。

[...OMITTED...] 比赛将是唯一一场在主场观众面前进行的季前赛。去年，威廉姆斯参加了三场季前赛中的两场。

“1 我们需要在季前赛中看到卡莱布·威廉姆斯吗？不，我不需要。”约翰逊 (Johnson) 周四表示，“你在每天的训练中都能看到他。”

约翰逊指出，有两项指标与 1.5-体重不足的情况相同，这将有助于决定他是否参加在辛辛那提和田纳西州纳什维尔的其余两场季前赛。

“我不认为我需要看到比赛表现，”约翰逊说，“当我们试图评估它时，是看整个工作量，并确保我们达到了基准，以确保我们为 15 场比赛的赛季做好准备。”

约翰逊表示，熊队不会在“市场中记住它”，包括进攻和防守两端。尽管如此，职业球员基兰·安纳帕尔克 (Kiran Annapalke) 将在左截锋位置首发，而资深球员阿德里克·威尔斯二世 (Ardrick Wills Jr.) 将轮换出场。这一直是训练营期间一个显著的位置之争。

“获胜者会得到优惠券，所以我想看到球员们快速地比赛，”约翰逊说。

四分卫泰森·巴格内特 (Tyson Bagnett) 将接替威廉姆斯首发。约翰逊暗示巴格内特可能会在整个上半场出场。熊队还拥有资深第三顺位球员凯里·克罗曼斯 (Cary Kromans) 和未被选中的新秀米勒·莫斯 (Miller Moss) 在新秀名单中。

“机会就是一切，”巴格内特在周四训练后表示，“我能上场的每一个时刻对我来说绝对是梦想成真。所以我非常兴奋，并且在最后为了能在那儿表现出色而努力，尽我最大的努力，以便我能出场。”

熊队在训练营练习期间已经表现得很有身体对抗性。在为赛季做准备和保持球员健康之间需要一个微妙的平衡。

“无论教练怎么说，”威廉姆斯周二表示，“我在练习时就像在比赛一样。今天，进入那种心态非常重要，能够在这种状态中进出也非常重要。只要教练告诉我我要上场，我就会上场。”

熊队将于 8 月 22 日对阵辛辛那提孟加拉虎队，8 月 29. 日对阵田纳西泰坦队。他们将于 8 月 20 日和 8 月 27 日与这些对手进行联合训练。

训练营报告

作者：Sean Hammond, Phil Thompson 和 Paul Biggs 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥熊队的 George McCauley 和 Presidency Ed Kewin, Warren 以及球场上的工作人员周四在 Hales Hall 提供了关于球队在汉蒙德（Hammond）外展计划的最新进展。

在球场上，前联合足球联盟（UFL）外接手 Kaden Davis 脱颖而出。

在熊队周六对阵克利夫兰布朗队的季前赛揭幕战之前的最后一次训练中，Davis 完成了几次重大进攻，包括在训练的第三次进攻中接住大四分卫 Tyson Bagnett 的传球，完成了一次 72 码的达阵接球。

“我想，就是两个 (10) 像他这样的小伙子，”Bagnett 在谈到曾在西北密苏里州立大学效力的 时说道。“作为一名新加入的成员，他表现得非常出色，非常谨慎，能够很好地掌握我需要的东西。而且他为人非常友善，这两点都对他帮助很大。”

曾与几支 NFL 球队共事，但此前主要为 UFL 的休斯顿郡队（Houston Counties）效力。

由于包括四分卫 Caleb Williams 在内的“大量”球员将缺席季前赛揭幕战，像 和 这样在深度图排名较后的球员将有充足的机会。教练 Ron Johnston 表示， 将首发，且很可能在上半场出战。

熊队周四的表现同样突出。

CALBIN WILLIAMS 观察

球员们可能更倾向于全场参与。在面对 St. Williams 时，当熊队练习外展时，他至少完成了一次重大连接——与左侧的右端锋 Cole Kinet。他与 稳步交替出场。

熊队开始在室外训练，长 40 英尺，宽 40 英尺，在闪电劈下时正试图触及一个全尺寸球门柱。这导致所有人匆忙进入 Walter Payton 中心。

随后，在一次全队演习中，Imshacker T. Ethel 和 Janoff 接到了 Williams 传向中路的一个短传，但球掉了。Ethel 因这次失误而沮丧地摇了摇头。他确实在突破防守方面做得不错。Williams 的目标是右侧的 Colman Loveland，可能没有看到 Ethel 的跑位。

随着 Ethel 在训练营开始时处于身体无法参加训练（physically unable to perfected in）状态后的恢复，他继续在第一阵容中获得更多锻炼。当天接下来的另一个连接是熟悉的景象：Williams 和 Loveland。Loveland 面对标志物并寻求接球后推进的进攻越来越多，而这正是爆发性进攻的核心要素。

Johnson 表示，Williams 说他们是实际的人，信号指向比赛行程。教练正与代理科学部门合作监测行程，特别是针对高工作量球员。

一场比赛就是一场比赛，他们关注比赛。球队将在与辛辛那提孟加拉虎队和田纳西泰坦队的联合训练中获得机会。

“这一切共同起作用，我们在处理方式上非常、非常灵活，”Johnson 说。“但我需要在季前赛中看到 Caleb Williams 吗？不需要，我在训练中每天都能看到他，我知道赛季开始时我们会得到什么。”

聚光灯下的球员：TYSON BASSET

今天 再次有机会在季前赛中展示自己的能力。 曾是一个无名之辈，是 1980 年代 20-stown 出身的未经检验的分卫。他当时是一名 20 岁、在任何地方都没有机会赢得替补位置的球员。现在他处于 4 4-ends。熊队的球员替补。

自从在第 1 个赛季的新秀赛季以来， 不需要首发参加常规赛。 现在是一名老将，Williams 在前两个赛季一直健康。休赛期关于 有一些轻微的交易猜测，但熊队的所有人都希望保留这位 20 赛季的球员。

一年前签署了一份为期两年的合同延期，使他受控直到 2027 年，而与 Johnson 及其团队合作的机会是一个重要原因。

熊队四分卫泰森·巴格内特（Tyson Bagnett）周四在莱克福雷斯特（Lake Forest）的黑尔斯大厅（Hales Hall）训练营进行练习。BIRCH / CASIBLLA / CINCAGO TRIBUNE

“一旦你在 NFL 效力达到一定的年限，我认为你所保持的完全是心理层面的，”巴格内特周四表示。“但对橄榄球运动本身有更深层的理解，不再仅仅将自己局限于观察球场的某一个区域，而是能够看到全局。这真的要归功于我们周围的队友和教练组。”

三线四分卫卡斯·克罗曼（Cass Kroman）和四线四分卫米勒·莫斯（Miller Moss）周六在卡尔多球场（Kaldor Field）也可能会有出场机会。

SEEN AND HEAD

12-3-0 场比赛在 Other Threemonies 担任安全卫时表现出色，但刘易斯（Lewis）发现当泽维尔·伍兹（Xavier Woods）在安全卫位置上出场时，他被派去在子方案中担任镍卫（nickel comeback）。伍兹仍在适应该战术并了解他的队友，但现在看到他更多地专门与第一阵容配合将不会令人惊讶。

“他是个职业球员，你可以看到他具备那种态度，”约翰逊（Johnson）说道。“伍兹。他知道自己需要看到什么。他熟悉 [塞克斯顿·艾伦 (Sexton Allen)] 拥有的所有那些方案。他真正融入了这个系统。你把他放在那里，我们在后防线上没有掉以轻心。所以看到这一点令人鼓舞。”

“希望我们能看到他在这种环境下，与队友在一起感到更自在一些，并看到他的个性开始更多地展现出来。在那方面我还没有一个好的衡量标准。我不会直接花时间与他的队友在一起，但我喜欢目前所看到的，就像我说的，我觉得我们在防守后端没有掉以轻心。”

在某些时候，第三部分可能会脱颖而出，这就是克罗曼取消时发生的情况。第四次传给外接手肯·雷·麦克莱兰（Ken Ray McClelland），他在 comeback 比尼·比肖普（Beanie Bishop）小将之前接球，完成了一次 49 码的达阵。

当 Jekuse Walker 在伍兹和 Threemonies 之间出现跑动失误时，他接掉了威廉姆斯（Williams）一次中路传球。不过，他随后在为巴格内特跑同样的路线时完成了一次精彩接球。

B 跑卫艾哈迈德·阿莫斯（Ahmad Amos）在开阔地带表现良好。这一点在他接住巴格内特的一次传球，并摆脱比肖普和 Imshacker 杰克·桑本（Jack Sanborn）时显而易见。

R 里克·史密斯（Rick Smith）是约翰逊在芝加哥的经纪人，他在场边观察训练。

值得关注的引语

“我打球充满暴力，”新秀防守截锋乔丹·范登贝格（Jordan van den Berg）说。“这是一个你可以充满暴力地打球并获得平静的地方，我非常享受比赛的这个方面。”

作为第六轮选秀球员，范登贝格引起了队友的注意。他是一名运动员，在身体练习中，他比平均水平的米数更多。对于任何新秀来说这都很显著，尤其是对于 Day 1 选秀球员来说。

熊队在选他时就熟悉范登贝格的身体能力。现在关键在于投资球队的最佳资源。在训练营期间，范登贝格在一次练习中的激烈冲突中与新秀进攻锋线球员凯登·巴纳（Caden Barner）发生了身体碰撞。

这是一个昂贵的身体赌注——巴雷特（Barrett）身高 6 英尺 4 英寸，体重 10 磅。

“我热爱竞争之名，”防守端锋 derby 发现并表示。“这更多的是在系统运行中达到最大化。你喜欢那样。他打球很有侵略性。你必须带着侵略性地打这个位置。他具备这一点。”

CLARED AND PARTY STARTED

Comeback 泰斯佩·克罗曼（Tysype Kroman）在周四的练习中没有在中线出场，他周四没有参加训练。在克罗曼不在场的情况下，MASA 麦金农（McKinnon）和 Aude 布莱克威尔（Blackwell）在第一阵容中获得了一些跑动机会。布莱克威尔在一次防守闪击中与布鲁斯·尼尔森（Bruce Nelson）沿边线冲刺时，确实表现出了一些冲击力，并拦截了威廉姆斯的传球。

从左到右，MASA，布鲁斯·肖（Bruce Shaw）在 8 月 6 日的一次训练后首次返回训练。他之前处于落后状态，希望下周能恢复到全速状态。

关于体育场追求的进展尚无报告，尽管他们可能已经为那些州决定了一些时髦的配套设施。

沃伦再次强调了球队致力于在汉蒙德追求某个体育场的承诺，熊队已完成对 Last Month Golf Course 0 的润湿，并继续在沃尔夫湖码头（Wolf Lake Terminals）区域开展工作。他提出了将这两个场地合并为体育场和娱乐区的想法，该球队包含在内。

基本上，熊队在两个月后再次确认了其 6 月 5 日的公告，即其董事会负责人已投票决定在头两年首次选择汉蒙德。此前，伊利诺伊州立法机构在最后一刻努力推动一项支持阿灵顿体育场项目的法案后宣布休会。

沃伦和麦考利表示，期间与 Mike le Ellison 的接触是“极少的”，现在很明显，立法者不太可能在那个夏天举行特别会议来处理体育场方面的任何问题。

“我不知道谁在斯普林菲尔德像是个死胡同，但过去几年我们一直非常明确，我们一直需要的东西，比如财产税的确定性，我们需要完整的公司间销售，”沃伦说，“这就是我们所需要的，这一点没有改变。虽然还有一些相关的事情，但我不知道为什么斯普林菲尔德会如此遥远。”

“我们所经历的一件好事是，自从董事会做出决定以来，我们确实专注于 Indians。那是我们投入时间、精力和努力的地方，我们一直处于过去的状态，并且在那里感觉非常好，对于 Indians，也就是汉蒙德的状态，你应该感觉很好。”

伊利诺伊州议会将在三个时间段——11 月 17-19 日和 12 月 1-3 日——举行一次全新的会议，而熊队是否会利用 Indians 来试图重启阿灵顿高地的进展，目前仍未可知。在被问及这是否可行时，沃伦提到了一次将在球场举行的建设委员会会议，并表示他们每拖延一年，价格就会上涨 1亿美元。

一件好事是熊队已经对该行业相关的一些事情做了功课，但这确实是一件好事。如果他们能提供在最初考虑购买阿灵顿公园可能性时的估算，我们会感到更真实，而现在没有必要。

“我们上周刚刚看了财务分析，将其与去年相比，确实存在问题，”沃伦说。“你会注意到市场非常不稳定，而且我们必须做出的不仅仅是政治和立法决定。我们还必须做出财务决定。我们有一个承诺投入大量资源——由个人所有者而非组织出资 12 billions ——来建设体育场并维持它的家庭，因此从时间角度来看，这对我们非常重要。”

“我们正处于必须做出判定和决定的时刻。”

沃伦反驳了熊队在过去 4 年左右管理不善的观点。

“我认为我们过去并没有做出任何改变，但对于这些项目，我真的将它们视为共同协作的学习机会。”

好吧，所以我们将把球队的赌注交给芝加哥市长麦考利（Mayor McCauley），他一直以来都是球队的一个良好团队学习机会。不要指望一座空体育场能帮助你完成那个耗资数十亿美元的项目。莱森（Lession）被禁止了。

那是一个你喜欢的不错的办公室，但对于球队将主场比赛移至其他城市这一想法，麦考利并不热情，他听到了你的领导和明确指示。

“我们觉得这很神奇，”他说。“我们感受到了压力。这将需要一个调整过程。但当我开车前往那里时，我们必须做的是，让人感觉不到我刚刚跨越了州界。”

凯文（Kevin）说，一旦人们看到这座建筑，一旦他们进入其中，一旦他们了解未来。“我甚至从第一天起就认为这是一个世界级的体育场体验，我们认为我们会完成那个调整。我们认为熊队已经为此做好了准备。”

熊队正全力推进汉蒙德计划。他们在二月份处于同样的局面，当时与印第安纳州政府的事情真正开始运转。他们在春季回到了阿灵顿高地，并试图敲定立法。

我们将不得不等到在沃尔夫湖码头进行那场被广泛讨论的尽职调查并最终敲定后，才能知道下一步行动是什么。目前没有时间表。

“我妻子告诉我关于几个月的事，而不是下一次，我确定她是。我们在这里，”沃伦（Warren）说。“把工作完成就好。对不起，我爱你，我在听你说话。”

有一些证据表明沃伦并没有阅读新闻。在三月份的 NFL 业主会议上，他预测关于体育场选址的决定可能会在春末或初夏做出。

这就是夏季的初步轮廓。熊队将于周六开始他们的季前赛赛程，而常规赛将在 eBook 到来。这让每个人都感到兴奋，因为这支球队至少在赛场上取得了进展。

评论《你打算怎么做》（"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO"）

对信仰与不确定性的探讨

作者：Emily McClanathan 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

在 2024 年的戏剧宾果卡中，我没预料到在看完一名犹太喜剧演员的脱口秀后，脑子里会一直回响着 20 世纪 90 年代末流行的基督教赞美诗《伟大的上帝》（"Awesome God"）。但这正是亚历克斯·埃德尔曼（Alex Edelman）的《你打算怎么做》所带来的效果。该剧去年曾在唐剧院（Don Theatre）演出，目前正在 Steppenwolf 剧院上演。

埃德尔曼于 2024 年首次在 Steppenwolf 剧院演出《仅为了我们》（"Just For Us"），该剧在百老汇演出期间为他赢得了托尼奖特别奖，并作为 HBO 特辑获得了艾美奖。这位 37 岁的演员成长于一个现代正统犹太家庭，他将那部作品围绕着一次在纽约与白人至上主义者聚集在一起的经历而创作。可以肯定的是，周三晚上在 Steppenwolf 剧院观看演出的绝大多数观众已经知道他的犹太身份。

相反，埃德尔曼在开场白中坚持道：“我不是犹太人。我非常喜欢停顿以检查笔记：我是耶稣基督。”

这句话当然是为了制造笑点，但它也设定了埃德尔曼关于信仰、身份和创伤探讨的核心张力。他指出，自己在文化和宗教传统的熏陶下成长，在不确定性中生活，并且生活在一个犹太身份显得尤为突出（尽管并非前所未有）的时代，他发现自己对许多美国基督徒所展现出的确定性感到好奇。“耶稣是一个答案，而犹太教是一系列问题，”他说。

作为一个在福音派基督教环境下长大的人，我觉得埃德尔曼对这两个亚伯拉罕宗教的调侃既敏锐又恰当。千禧一代的教会孩子会特别喜欢他讲述在肯尼迪艺术中心剧院（Kennedy Center Theatre）遇见基督教音乐明星迈克尔·W·史密斯（Michael W. Smith）和艾米·格兰特（Amy Grant）的那段表演。

评论《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》（"THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING"）

在南方通俗电影中，新人与麦康纳对戏大放异彩

作者：凯蒂·沃尔什 (Katie Walsh) 论坛新闻服务 (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

在《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》（The Rivals of Amziah King）中有一个片段，阿姆齐亚（马修·麦康纳 饰）详细介绍了构成蜂群的不同种类的蜜蜂：雄蜂、工蜂和蜂王。这位在俄克拉荷马州经营多年的养蜂人正将他的智慧传授给卡特里（安吉丽娜·卢金格拉斯 饰），后者曾是他的寄养孩子，最近重新回到了这个群体中。在经历了一系列离奇但幸运的事件后，两人在门口不期而遇，随后阿姆齐亚将卡特里收在麾下，让她成为一名新的工蜂及其蜂群的一员——在这部关于蜂蜜世界（其赌注之高令人惊讶）的古怪现代西部片中，这就是他对待大多数出现在他面前的流浪者的方式。正如阿姆齐亚在这次教学中所演示的，蜂王是宇宙的中心，没有她，整个群体将会崩溃。昆虫们保护着它们的蜂王，在他手上聚集在一起。 《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》讲述了一个蜂王取代另一个蜂王以保持群体完整的故事，但我们目前还不讨论具体是如何实现的。

这部电影是编剧兼导演安德鲁·帕特森（Andrew Patterson）极其出色的第二部作品。他的处女作《深夜之茫》（The Vast of Night）是一部预算极低的 1940 年代科幻悬疑片，而这部续作则大胆、独特且充满活力。凭借更多的资源和更多可供调度的大牌明星，帕特森扩大了他的愿景，带领他最亲近的非荧幕之星，交付了今年最令人惊讶且最具原创性的电影之一：一部充满活力、由欲望驱动、带有蜂蜜色调的古怪南方通俗电影，一个最终演变为一部拥有纯真之心的乡村犯罪剧的狂野转折。

它具有创新性，由角色驱动且风格时尚，是一部尖锐、令人愉悦的电影作品，具有完全独特的个性，且没有被磨平棱角，是那种你可以向任何人推荐的电影。

在《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》中，关于蜂王的那个时刻，是电影从其狂野、古怪——但令人难忘——的世界构建过渡到流畅的南方黑色电影的转折点。阿姆齐亚将蜂蜜植物交给卡特里，正如奥斯卡获奖影星麦康纳将电影的重心交给首次出演电影的卢金格拉斯一样。

电影的每一半都反映了角色的民俗。前半部分最精彩，节奏快，内容密集，充满音乐，不断地在追赶阿姆齐亚惊人古怪的行为。卡特里的部分则像其核心英雄一样安静且有条理，她在社区中赤脚行走，播种混乱并引发对辛辣的恐惧。但后半部分需要前半部分为其铺垫，才能正确面对他。我们需要了解这个世界以及居住在其中的蜜蜂，在他那 5 种全方位的掌控下才能合理化，才能正确引导，而帕特森

马修·麦康纳和安吉丽娜·卢金格拉斯主演《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》 BLACK BEAR

确保了铺垫工作到位，每一个细节都像阿姆齐亚带卡特里参观的社区聚餐一样，虽然各异但对于满足整餐的需求至关重要。

《阿姆齐亚·金的对手》是一部奇怪且出人意料的电影，它不需要成长为养蜂人，而是一部略显粗糙、古怪的闲逛电影，始于一个小镇的冒险，随后演变成一部关于本土正义细微差别的西部复仇片。

但得益于麦康纳罕见且深情的表演，这部电影的核心依然纯正。对于他作为一名演员来说（尤其是其职业生涯的后期），这种狡黠、近乎野性的“好老伙计”模式已经非常熟悉且自然。

但这个版本的麦康纳有一种更甜蜜的东西，这在很大程度上也归功于他与卢金格拉斯的对手戏，后者拥有一种安静且不确定的磁场，并能胜任她在那部分故事中的分量。片名可能宣称关注的是阿姆齐亚·金的对手，但他们只是烟雾弹——这实际上是关于卡特里的统治。

明星将出席地震救援活动

来自新闻服务机构

拉丁音乐明星 Marc Anthony、拉丁摇滚歌手 Chesomer、Foul、Jay Wheeler 等人将在一场从迈阿密出发的慈善音乐会上演出，旨在为那些未指明的人员筹集资金。通过超越 2026 LP，The Unionsnade 和 Columbia

在“Unido por Los Rosamos”或“年度联合”演出期间收集的收益将用于解决短期和长期需求，包括重建房屋、修复学校和社区空间、支持儿童以及提供心理健康支持等其他计划。

“在共同的事业中——采取行动，而世界上的家园正面临困境——这是一个我们共同分担的薪资，”多次获得 Grimmer 奖的 Anthony 表示，他的非营利组织 Marvin Coors 基金会将与 Unionsnade 基金会一起向北推进。

音乐会的收益将支持非营利团体 All Hands and the arts、CAM、Global Empowerment Mission、Tucke 和世界中央厨房（World Central Kitchen）。

该活动最初是为了造福委内瑞拉，此前在 6 月 24 日，该国北部地区在仅隔 39 秒的时间内发生了 magnitude 2.1 和 7.6 的 cartilagades，造成至少 6,300 人死亡。周一计划发生了变化，因为哥伦比亚西部地区也遭受了 magnitude 地震的袭击，促使活动组织者将邻国纳入其中。

这场慈善音乐会将于周日在迈阿密的 Kaseya 中心举行，并将通过 Unionsnade、VIX、WAKS 以及 Tokerua / Unionsnade 广播电台，以及委内瑞拉的 Albert Latino 和 Venezuelan Play 进行现场直播。观众可以通过扫描屏幕上的二维码、发送短信 UNIDOB 至 7070770 或在活动期间访问 unionsnade 进行捐款。

其他参演艺人包括 Poe、St. Gante de Zona、Elena Ross、Gilberto Santa Rosa、Ricardo Montanet、Mary Ricky 和 Olga Tatton。表演者的拉丁风格涵盖了从 sales 和 suggestion 到流行音乐，来自拉丁美洲各地，包括委内瑞拉、哥伦比亚、阿根廷、古巴和波多黎各。

“我们都曾在某个时刻见证过影响我们社区的破坏——我们在许多国家以及全球范围内一次又一次地看到这种情况发生，”Anthony 说道。“需求是巨大的。”

Global Citizen Net 透露 图片： Luxury Still 和她的 Fagers handouts Weckel Fears 将在今年秋季的 Citizen 节上将他们的尖锐且具有政治色彩的音乐呈献给观众。

周四公布的领衔嘉宾是一个恰当的选择：在纽约市中央公园举行的年度集会号召参与者敦促世界领导人为一系列反贫困计划提供资金，该集会与联合国大会年度高级别会议同步举行。

在 9 月 26 日的活动中，参演人员包括摇滚歌手 Lonny Marten、Malo 流行歌手 John Legend、乡村音乐明星 Lazary Wilson、格莱美奖得主 Slabsonny 以及 K-pop 组合 Tomorrow X Together。

8 月 14 日生日： 演员 Steve Martin 61 岁。演员 Antonio Pargas 80 岁。小说家 Danielle Stechi 79 岁。Jackie Harry 70 岁。Marcia Guy Hardon 67 岁。Hilda Berry 65 岁。吉他手 Kevin Codogan 50 岁。Christopher Gorham 52 岁。Actie Mila Kuzui 43 岁。Lamarne Morris 43 岁。Marisa Martin 22 岁。

被甩的大学毕业生考虑追求年轻同事

亲爱的埃里克： 最近我被交往了两年的对象甩了（根据我兄弟和朋友的说法，并没有获得任何补偿）。

我在工作中注意到一个年轻女孩，18岁，刚高中毕业，似乎没什么社交圈，她看起来很友善。我在考虑是否要追求她，但我的朋友们说她太年轻了——差了几年——而且，因为我有四年制大学学位，在阅历和教育方面差距太大，很难有共同语言。

他们的建议是，如果我想约会，应该找同样拥有学位的女性。他们担心我会被勒索或陷入更多麻烦，尤其是在刚被甩之后与这个女孩交往。

换句话说，现在不要让自己陷入这种关系。你怎么看？

— 约会还是不要

亲爱的约会： 在不对你的工作发表过多评论之前，我想请你留意你描述这个人的方式——一个“年轻女孩”。

虽然她在法律上已经是成年人，且仅比你小两岁，但在你的潜意识里，她似乎属于一个不同的类别。我建议听从你内心深处的这个声音，暂时将这段关系保持在随意阶段。

成年人之间的年龄差异本身并不是问题，但人生阅历可能会有所不同。18岁到24岁之间的研究表明如此。

此外，由于你刚刚结束一段旨在走向婚姻的关系，给自己一些时间去消化原因并成长是有益的。一个人可能会在反弹式恋爱中陷入一段注定无法成功的关系，因为这段关系被上一段感情的波动所拖累。

利用这段时间重新认识自己，并在没有压力的情况下花时间了解这位同事和其他人。不必匆忙。

亲爱的埃里克： 在过去的几年里，我的父亲、最小的弟弟和母亲相继去世。

我还剩下两个在世的兄弟——一个哥哥，一个弟弟。在经历了终生的欺凌后，我的哥哥开始对我产生敌意，我和他之间一直处于激烈的冲突之中。

我和最小的弟弟之间有共同的价值观，但从未发现彼此容易理解对方的语言。我们的儿子正尝试用他们自己的方式来建立联系和信任。

最近，由于各种原因，我冒犯了最小的弟弟（我认为他被误导了，有人说了某些话，甚至是我希望他听到的，而我的弟弟也被这些话吸引了）。之后，我主动提出一起花时间相处，他回答说：“不，谢谢。”

他暗示他“只需要一点空间”，但我看他最多只是在争吵，我重申如果他愿意对我坦诚，我完全愿意倾听他的感受，但他不想这样做。

我从未遇到过有人觉得我的出现如此痛苦或令人不快，以至于拒绝与我共度时光。

我的生活很充实，但成长过程中的家庭情况很痛苦，我担心这说明了我个人的一些问题，导致我的兄弟关系如此紧张。

为此我感到心碎。除了流几滴眼泪，然后继续经营我自己的生活，等他在几周或几年后准备好时来找我，我还能做些什么吗？我应该把注意力放在需要我的地方，还是开始面对一个不想要我爱的人？

— Josh Sibling

亲爱的 Sibling： 对于你所经历的未来以及在关系中造成你如此痛苦的冲突，我深表遗憾。

我的直觉是，关系是双向的，我赞赏你正努力在中间地带与你的兄弟接洽，但有些事情就是这样。

当你已经尽一切努力弥补、搭建桥梁并保持耐心时，如果对方拒绝参与，那么这件事就不能只由你一个人承担。

这不是在谈论沟通。这只是在说，他有需要解决的问题，而你必须面对一些你无法解决的事情，而且现在，你们无法共同解决。

你所经历的教训，你们两人都在应对的悲痛，以及你们痛苦的家族历史，共同导致了目前的这场冲突。不要为此责怪自己，给自己一些时间和空间去疗愈。

你可能希望与治疗师探讨与你兄弟的关系以及在解决问题时的心态。你可能会继续利用电话来保持距离，而对此进行心理梳理将会有所帮助。

我无法断言其中发生了什么，但对于对方来说，悲痛肯定仍在持续。因此，尝试关注，给予一点点。这样做可能会让局面变得僵持，但至少能减轻一些。

创意团队在回顾《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》故事的同时，同步为《复仇者联盟：末日》营造期待感

大约五年前，《蜘蛛侠：英雄无路》在新冠疫情激增的严峻形势下进入影院，并完成了那个冬天几乎没有其他电影能做到的事情——将足不出户的观众吸引回电影院，并以 2亿美元 的成绩开画，创下了有记录以来最大的国内票房纪录之一。

彼得·帕克回来了——他稍微年长了一些，更显疲惫，且面临着一个远没有那么令人振奋的市场，因为自那时起，通用底线已经崩塌。

根据 Franciese 行业时事通讯的数据，超级英雄电影的年度票房收入有所下降，平均约为 35 亿美元 billion，大约只有 2017 年至 2019, 疫情前时期的二分之一。索尼影业曾押注于更多的现实压力、一个能引起共鸣的叙事以及蜘蛛侠持久的人气，足以让《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》扭转这一趋势。

“这部电影在故事处理上采取了接地气且充满情感的方式，我实际上认为这正是观众所渴望的，”索尼电影集团董事长汤姆·罗斯曼（Tom Rothman）表示。“它拥有所有令人惊叹的视觉效果。但其核心，如果你愿意这么理解的话，它更像是一部关于‘超级人类’的电影，而非一部‘超级英雄’电影。”

这种赌注得到了回报，索尼影业在电影首映周末后表示，《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》以 1亿美元 的门票销售额打破了北美首映周末最高纪录。

《崭新之日》的故事接续上一部电影的结尾。一个咒语将彼得·帕克从世界的记忆中抹除——这是消除其身份公开的代价——使他成为了好友罗德（Rod）和 MJ 的陌生人。失去了这些友谊，他将自己投入到打击犯罪的工作中，以分散注意力。

这种感到孤独且不知向何处寻求慰藉的感觉，正是电影创作者构建这部电影的核心。

“我们彼此之间都非常孤立，”负责监督整个系列的电影制片人之一艾米·帕斯卡（Amy Pascal）说道。“那种对犯罪的渴望并非发生在人与人之间，而是不知道如何实现，以及生活在一个世界中。”

St. Vincent 准备管弦乐团录制现场专辑

词曲作者重新审视受器乐流派启发的唱片

作者：George Varga 圣迭戈 联合论坛报（UNION-TRIBUNE）

2025年格莱美奖得主 St. Vincent 在与从 David Byrne、Nirvana 和 Taylor Swift 到 Fiona Apple、Sultan Stevens 和 Dua Lipa 等各路大咖进行高调合作之后，是如何提升她的创作水准的？

对于这位备受赞誉的音乐全才、出生于德克萨斯州的 Anne Clark 来说，答案就是——字面意义上的——准备好管弦乐团。St. Vincent 的 15 城夏季巡演期间，她与圣迭戈交响乐团、旧金山交响乐团、纽约爱乐乐团、芝加哥交响乐团以及其他顶尖管弦乐团进行了合作。

“这太令人兴奋了，”她在最近的一次采访中说道。“我创作的很多音乐，尤其是早期的唱片，深受管弦乐的影响，特别是 19 世纪和 20 世纪的管弦乐。所以，现在能真正听到它按照原意被演奏出来，感觉太棒了。”

这种震撼感被 St. Vincent 与 Adoo Baulley 管弦乐团合作的大胆双专辑作品《Live in London! (BBC Promo at the Royal Albert Hall)》完整地捕捉到了，该专辑于 7 月发行黑胶唱片。

St. Vincent 即将于 4 月 1, 26 在新奥尔良演出，近期发行了一张管弦乐双专辑。AMY HARDEN, WINNERS

这是一部跨越职业生涯的作品，展示了她日益精湛的演唱和吉他技巧，其中包含了对她最早和最近的录音室专辑——从 2007 年的《Merry Me》到 2024 年的《All Born: Screaming》——以及两者之间不同阶段作品的全新重新演绎。编曲为 St. Vincent 的几首杰出歌曲增加了深度和张力，如《Smoking Section》、《Marrow》、《Violent Time》和《Digital Witness》，后者的犀利歌词哀悼了社交媒体日益消磨灵魂的影响。

细腻的处理方式、对位法式的打击乐重音以及大胆的管弦乐点缀，扩展了她作品的情感和纹理维度。编曲由多位词曲合作者完成，包括 St. Vincent 乐队资深键盘手 Rachel DeKroft、Sam Gale、Peter Riley、Jochen Neuffer、Tom Trapp 以及管弦乐团指挥 Buckley，后者也是近期结束的巡演的指挥。

“这一切的促成是因为我与 Rachel Eckroft 的合作，以及她与 Adoo 的友谊，Adoo 是一位极其出色的指挥兼编曲，”St. Vincent 说道。“我们讨论与 BBC Promo 合作已经好几年了，现在终于到了合适的时机。”

诚然，St. Vincent 非常享受探索新艺术形式、创造并重塑其多变的歌曲和风格的机会。凭借近十张个人专辑的资历，在挑选《Live in London!》的曲目时有许多选项。将它们精简至 19 首选曲需要经过深思熟虑。

“我想说，这个过程首先当然是选曲，”她说，“你想讲述什么样的故事？哪些歌曲——比如那些很久没被触及的旧作——可以通过重新演绎和呈现来焕发新生？”

或许是巧合，在正式涉足管弦乐世界之后，St. Vincent 在今年早些时候还以“极短的客串身份”出演了纽约制作的 Richard Perennial 的第二部歌剧《What to Wear》。本次对 St. Vincent 的采访为了清晰度和篇幅进行了编辑。

问：当我们 2014 年交谈时，你说 Romer's Barlow 音乐学院让你接触到了像斯特拉文斯基（Stravinsky）和德彪西（Debussy）这样的作曲家。那么首先，德彪西或斯特拉文斯基是否有某些特定的作品，比如《大海》（La Mer）或《彼得鲁什卡》（Perruchka），让你产生了强烈的共鸣？ 答：哦，是的。我的歌曲。

“Warrior”对我来说，就像是一封写给《Petrushka》的情书。所以，能够真正与一个管弦乐团一起演奏这些歌曲，这感觉既有趣又令人谦卑——因为这正是我多年前最初构思的（管弦乐形式），而我也深受管弦乐的启发。特别是关于《Petrushka》，这真的是一个圆梦时刻。

将这个管弦乐项目变为现实，对你来说最大的回报、惊喜和挑战分别是什么？

答：最大的回报是通过管弦乐团去了解一座城市。我最喜欢的事情之一就是到每场音乐会结束时，能让整个乐团都站在我们这一边。我的希望是他们能获得很多乐趣。我知道这不在他们典型的节目编排中。但当乐团最终玩得很开心时，对我来说真的非常有成就感。你一定有录音。另一个是什么？

还有两个：惊喜和挑战。答：嗯，我并不完全感到惊讶，但我太热爱演出这些节目了。我知道我会喜欢，但我没想到会像现在这样如此热爱。我希望今后能再次这样做。而且，随着我制作新专辑，我们可以不断增加曲目库，然后在有更多话要说的时候，出来举办管弦乐演出。

这样做就像是站在一个巨大的美学浪潮面前。所以对我而言，作为一名歌手、表演者和音乐家，挑战在于尽可能地完全沉浸在当下，并成为那道浪潮上的先驱。因为仅仅是管弦乐团本身的声音就是巨大的。你身后有60个人在倾情演奏——这就是它的美妙之处，也是挑战所在。

用管弦乐团来演绎这些歌曲对你来说是一种释放吗？

答：噢，天哪，是的！在我早期的专辑中，有一些歌曲，比如《Papa in Burning》，我一直希望有一个完整的法号组来演奏开场线，那基本上是对（柴可夫斯基的）《彼得与狼》的致敬。现在我可以实现了。现在，它终于成为了现实。早年制作那些早期专辑时，我只是在勉力支撑。那是一个低预算工程，所以我没法请一个40人的管弦乐团来演奏。

经典回顾

星空之夏：杰克·莱蒙

耶鲁，凌晨 5 点开始。

杰克·莱蒙是少数几位能够在犀利喜剧与纯粹正剧之间切换而又不失天然银幕魅力的演员之一。今天，我们将通过早间播出的 1995 年电影《罗伯托先生》（如图）来纪念他，这部二战题材的喜剧为莱蒙赢得了他的第一座奥斯卡奖。莱蒙与传奇系列导演比利·米勒有着长期的合作伙伴关系，今天的节目单包括他们的前两部合作电影：在《公寓》（2010）中，莱蒙饰演一名在野心与良知之间挣扎的办公室职员，以及

《有些人不喜欢》（2010），由莱蒙和托尼·柯林斯与玛丽琳·莫森一起在药物影响下逃亡。“凭借对我的一种新色彩，孩子，我们当时真的在挑战极限，因为没有一个人不认为他疯了，”莱蒙在接受《国际电影杂志》前编辑凯文·拉利采访时回忆米勒道。“这部电影被认为非常昂贵，且题材完全具有风险，将两名男主角在电影 80% 的时间里都置于药物影响之下，并且在大多数人的看来，将一个五分钟的技巧素描尝试拉伸成一部两小时的闹剧。他们认为这行不通，而且他们几乎是对的，因为第一次试拍是一场灾难。在我拍过的所有电影中，包括那些相当的电影，这部电影的试拍过程是我参与过的所有电影中最糟糕的。为什么？谁知道呢？”

美国雪貂与马修·麦康纳主演的《失踪巴士》 APPLETV

麦康纳最好的电影和电视表演远不止是“没问题”

作者：Katie Wolfe

论坛新闻服务（TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE）

马修·麦康纳是一位巨大的电影明星，他已经超越了自己的职业，成为了一个比美国公众人物更庞大的形象。

但最近，他在安德鲁·帕特森（Andrew Patterson）的 rolfishing 作品中回归了他的路线。在 Jocelyn's reins of love 的《Amistah King 的竞争者》（The Rivals of Amistah King）中，他饰演一名俄克拉荷马州的养蜂人和蓝草音乐家。

这是一部精彩且令人惊讶的电影，它挑战了经验，尽管麦康纳的表演是他那些熟悉的、被充分挑选的电影之一。这部电影具有美国儿童的独特特质。

因此，为了向饰演 Amistah King 的麦康纳致敬，让我们回顾一下他职业生涯中许多不同的阶段——从开始到 McConnoisseur 以及之后——以及在哪里可以观看这些亮点。

麦康纳的突破是一场竞赛，理查德·卢克纳（Richard Lueckner）1975 年的高中开篇电影《大而混乱》（Grand and Confused）在 1995 年上映，这立即产生了一个普通的多元化短语“alright, alright, alright”（没问题，没问题，没问题）。这带有麦康纳标志性的：德克萨斯 Irving。他是一个大型群戏中的配角，但他的表演是电影中最令人难忘的之一。可在数字平台上租赁。

仅仅三年后，麦康纳在乔迪·舒马赫（Jodi Schumacher）的南方法律剧《杀戮时刻》（A Time to Kill）中摆脱了高中网球运动员的人设（1996 年），随后在次年，与乔迪·福斯特（Jodie Foster）共同出演了由罗伯特·泽米基斯（Robert Zemeckis）执导的极简主义剧作《轮廓》（Contour）。可在数字平台上租赁《杀戮时刻》和《轮廓》。

21 世纪初是麦康纳的 non-comers 时期，但如果那个时期只有一个搜索形式，那必须是《如何在 10 天内让男人爱上你》（How to Love a Guy in 10 Days）（2010 年），这部电影展示了他与共同主演凯特·哈德森（Kate Hudson）之间戏谑的化学反应。可在 Paramount 的 Kaseyro 或 Prime Video 上观看。十年后，McConnoisseur 正在通过史蒂文·索德伯格（Steven Soderberg）的异域男舞者闹剧《魔力麦克》（Magic Mike）精准地捕捉其起点，由钱宁·塔图姆（Channing Tatum）主演。麦康纳在 2006 年饰演俱乐部明星的配角，但证明了他愿意在具有大胆职业生涯的电影中进行狂野的角色塑造。可在所有数字平台上租赁《魔力麦克》。

2011 年，麦康纳在杰夫·尼科尔斯（Jeff Nichols）的《疯狂》（Mad）中开始饰演一名神秘的 deftur，并在胡安-马克·瓦莱（Juan-Marc Vallée）的《达拉斯买家俱乐部》（Dallas Buyers Club）中出演，这次表演为他赢得了奥斯卡最佳男主角奖。两部电影均可在 Peacock 上观看。

2014 年带来了麦康纳知名度最高的两个项目，首先是克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nelson）的《星际穿越》（Interstellar），以及由 Carr 和 Fukuoka 执导、与旺达·汉密尔顿（Wanda Hamilton）合作的犯罪回忆录《真探》（True Detective）。可在 Prime Video、Hulu 或 Paramount 上观看《星际穿越》，在 EGM Max 上观看《真探》。

在过去的十年里，麦康纳能够在他 / 她的角色工作与更严肃的项目之间交替。他在 2016 年主演了斯蒂芬·加利亚尼（Stephen Gagliani）的作者作品《黄金》（Gold）（与 Netflix 同名），并在马莫内·科林（Marmone Korine）在南佛罗里达的角色中投入到倦怠的人设中。《海滩男孩》（The Beach Buns）在 2019 年（在 Kaseyro 和 Tulip 上播放）。去年，他主演了保罗·格林格罗斯（Paul Greengross）关于 daddy Paradise 火灾的《迷失巴士》（The Lost Bus），目前在数字电视上播放。所以，无论你想要什么样的麦康纳口味，在他那多样且迷人的职业生涯中，每个人都能找到适合自己的东西。

星座运势

如果 8 月 14 日是你的生日：用“减法”开启你的生日加法。放下什么能改善你的世界？旧的态度、疲惫的信念、过时的思维模式、陈旧的规则，所有这些在被释放时都会腾出巨大的空间。

白羊座（3 月 15 日-4 月 19 日）：未来几天可能会凸显出对某人安全的担忧——星象并非在增加风险，而是在增加焦虑。

金牛座（4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日）：日益增长的担忧可能表现为控制欲的增强。承认恐惧、感受它们并让它们在心中流过，对所有相关人员来说都更健康、更好。

双子座（5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日）：感觉出乎意料的事情可能并非如此，如果某些事情尚未达成，不要担心，这可能更多是紧迫感而非实际需求。

巨蟹座（6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日）：现在分享脆弱可能是错误的举动，你的听众中可能潜伏着更多喷子，而非睿智且有见地的人。

狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：你现在可能会经历几天不稳定的日子，但预计你的方向感很快就会恢复。情绪化时不要进行资金操作。

处女座（8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日）：一旦你下定决心不再在第一次听到“再见”时就认输，恐惧就是可控的。审视你的选择中是否存在隐藏恐惧的证据。

天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：你最亲近的人是你最大的影响者，无论好坏。你会吸收他们的观点、价值观和恐惧。与那些朝着你想要前进的方向前行的人群同行。

天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 22 日）：未来几天，权威人士可能会给你带来额外压力，因为你的职场领域和世界上漂浮着更多的宇宙焦虑。如果今天能和朋友一起发泄抱怨，请尽情享受！

射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 22 日）：现在俏皮的行为在世界上可能行得通，也可能行不通，取决于他人需要多么严肃。坦诚可能比钻研更有效。现在不要陷入过多的恐惧中。

摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 20 日）：自然之美可以安抚你的灵魂——一场大雨，一片海洋或日落，一片静谧的草地——让自己沉浸在温柔愉悦的图像、气味和声音中。未来几天避免谈判。

水瓶座（1 月 20 日-2 月 20 日）：未来几天财务事务进展不顺，在继续操作前请等待更清晰的局面。伴侣可能需要情感支持，或者你可能对一段关系有所顾虑。

双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：事情大概率都会完成，即使你担心它可能无法完成或在某种程度上被错误地执行。

kay and President/CEO Kevin Warren reiterated Thursday during a news conference at Hicks Hall that the team remains focused on building a stadium over the state line in Hammond. Those efforts have zeroed in on two sites the Lost Marsh Golf Course and the Wolf Lake Terminals. Warren said due diligence has been completed on the Lost Marsh

location and that it is viable for construction, while the process is ongoing at nearby Wolf Lake, a merger of the two sites also is possible. Warren said: The team's due diligence on the site includes topographical, geological and environmental analysis of the land. Warren said, as well as putting together a 'capital stack' to finance the $150bn in the team has proposed to help build the stadium and a surrounding multi-use development. Both Warren and McCoggin used

the word 'minimal' to describe ongoing communications with Illinois lawmakers this summer. 'I don't know why it hit a dead end in Springfield,' Warren said. 'But we've been very clear the last couple years the things that we've always needed is property tax certainty, we need infrastructure certainty. That's what we've needed. So that has not changed.' The Bears announced June 1, that their board of directors had voted to proceed with plans for a new stadium in Hammond. That

announcement came less than a week after the Illinois legislators adjourned for the summer without causing to co-occasion on late-ditch efforts in the House and Senate to keep the franchise in Illinois. The bill that passed through the House would have allowed the Bears to negotiate a special tax payment with local government bodies in the Arlington Heights area instead of paying higher property taxes. The proposal in the Senate would have created a public finance

Executive order gives midterms shot in arm

Vaccine action hands win to MAHA voters, attack line for Dems

By Al Swenson ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – President Donald Trump proved the nation's ammunition to drive out the deal with an executive order that aims to scale back the childhood immunization schedule and space out shots into separate visits.

After acting to overhaul the nation's vaccine policy and guidance, the Trump administration had recently largely stepped back from additional changes in focus on less controversial subjects, raising questions over the political impetus behind anti-implications of the Republican president's renewed focus on vaccines.

He well over a decade. Trump has expressed his view, against medical groups' guidance, that childhood vaccines should be administered in smaller doses over a long period of time. The executive order sought to bear out that determined theory.

While the move could endorse Trump to some 'Make America Healthy Again' voters who want more flexibility on immunization, it's not a bit of attracting attacks designed to hurt Trump's aligned candidates in November's midterm elections.

Janne Franklin, a 28-year-old conservative activist who approved with the president to promote his executive order Monday, said the thinks the action is 'going to go a long way' for MAHA mom voters like herself.

'It's time for a change'

Former Chicagoan Dan Sullivan takes on Alaskan senator with same name

By Rebecca Johnson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Dan Sullivan has always felt a visceral connection with strangers who share his name. Meeting them is fun. 'Surendipitous' own.

For example, he said, he swapped family stories with a Dan Sullivan in line for 7/16 PvCheck in Chicago some years ago. An employee raiding off nature had called for Dan Sullivan and they

both raised their hands.

Sullivan, who grew up in the south industry but now lives at Akalia, said he's had the exact opposite experience when it comes to the Last Frontier's junior senator – aka the other Dan Sullivan.

'(The senator) has a history of enacting programs and interacting with the public ... where if you disagree with me you're part of some left-wing conspiracy to destroy Alaska,' he told the Tribune. 'It just hit me a little harder than it would hit other people.'

So Sullivan, the one who said he still room for both the White Sox and Cuba, launched his own.

Chicago school board puts two revenue questions on city's November ballot

By Mark Armaniel CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago school board is the board that is questions to the November ballot paying whether city voters would support drumming up new revenue for Chicago Public Schools.

The first referendum to the New Illinois should impose a surcharge on millimeters to raise public school funding. The second will ask whether Chicago should charge financial penalties on revenue under developed or vacant lots to funnel money in City Both questions approved. There will be no surcharge, meaning they don't enact laws and instead serve as signals to legislators as they make public decisions.

It's the first time the Board of Education has exercised the authority to add advisory questions to the ballot.

"This is fundamentally about how we build the public support necessary to move our schools from scarcity to adequacy," said board vice president Angel Velez, appointed to represent District Vice on the South Side.

The questions were put forth by board members aligned with the Chicago Teachers Union and appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson, Johnson himself attempted to add three progressers to these dumping up to the November ballot. Though only one made it through City Council Alderman rejected his bid to ask voters whether they support adding a 1% tax on

millimeters. In Springfield, a ex-collar millionaire's tax resolution made ground that excess the allotment had to advance among House Democrats.

Chicago school board members at least of progressive revenue proposals note that the cash-engaged City laugh 70% had a higher tax on the funding of local state reformalism questions passed on a 12.5 vote.

"I want us to place the responsibility for additional funding," said the board president offied it, said board member Debbi Patez, representing District Office the Fair North Side.

Thursday's morning, however, was not without bumps.

At first, the board of electors of the single majority would, for a question, fix an unusual move, the board then recess would set a limit that time with six members present. He did not attend Jesus, Biggs, Thomas Bayle, Angel Guterres, Carlos Bross, Elton Rosenthal and Cat "Blysmden" Smith.

Those elected members not in attendance are part of a voting ban that typically diverges from the CTV-aligned majority. That divide was no full display last month, when CTV-backed members passed a $10.5 billion budget funding on $100 million to reconfirmed state revenue, despite reporting from district leadership. The annuals depending on contracted CPS to reverse more than 1,000 layoffs, a directive that has proved difficult to carry out just

'This is fundamentally about how we build the public support necessary to move our schools from scarcity to adequacy.'

Jones: Mark Crum's vice president appointed to represent District 104 on the South Side.

In his 14-year school starts, if the money doesn't materialize, officials said, it could leave CPS vulnerable to nuclear cuts.

CCTU-backed board members held press conference following Thursday's morning, accusing their colleagues of "boycotting" the reformalism questions.

"I think more of a question is that we should be willing to do so if we need members to be in such billionaire money and conveniently were unable to make it. We vote as to whether billionaire should be taxed," said appointed board member Michelle Blaise, who represents District Office the West Side Blaise pointed to seven elected members who have taken campaign contributions from billionaire businessmen and major Districts into those Michael Sacks.

Several members not in attendance told the Tribune they had prior week and family commitments. Most were not given notice of the vote until Monday morning, according to an email

to members obtained by the Tribune. Members serve on a volunteer basis and an expected to attend all meetings, per the board's bylaws, but an allowed certain exceptions for business and personal obligations.

Biggs, who represents District 108 and is running for school board president, said the board's decision to do so, meaning had been reached, and multiple times, arguing that the board has been "rife with those and derogates." "I think it would be a good way to do so," said the board president, who said it was not to do so.

Smith, who represents District 104 on the South Side, called the last minutes proposed "poor planning" and argued that special issues "age" had a consequence.

Board member Jennifer Custer was the sole vote against the proposals Thursday, expressing concern that they wouldn't provide an immediate solution to the district's mounting budget issue. "We should really be looking at more actionable things," she said.

"The North line is pretty simple: Does it help kids today? No, I don't think that these do," said Custer, who represents District 104 on the Northwest Side and is also running for board president in November's election.

But appointed board president Anne Paraleo, contented that the board needs to explore all the options following the July budget issue. "We don't have the luxury of looking friendly at just one thing," he said.

authority essentially establishing a public private partnership is which a sports program that the Bears could have built a stadium on land that would be, or would become, publicly owned to avoid property taxes on the facility.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the summer fall again in Springfield, McCauley said the Bears aren't second-questioning in setting up in a dual dose to Illinois.

"We felt we had presented a pretty compelling case that a stadium in Arlington would be beneficial network for the village of Arlington Heights, but for the community and for the entire state really," McCauley said. "Teenagers do not have any of economic activity job reasons. Tax revenue. Sales revenue. Ultimately, that argument was unsuccessful."

Gov.78 Pritzker has said he is open to building a special session of the 1976 annual school assembly to help keep the Bears in Illinois. Pritzker said Thursday in Springfield that his office has been in contact with the Bears and the State Assembly adjourned June 1.

But in the 2/3 month's since adjustment, the governor said the team of the Bears was presented a bid to help the Bears build a stadium in Arlington Heights or elsewhere in Illinois.

"Part of the Bears' job here is, of course, to talk to legis-

lators. There were legislators who would do favor of one or the other of the state. Pritzker said during a new conference to mark the state of this year's Illinois state fair.

"Remember, every one, we passed a bill in the House, we passed a bill in the Senate. Those bills were not combined. There were no congressmen reached between the two bills. We were in the first place, and it fights our whole sense of the point of those bills they want in a final bill and, of course, to gather support from the state."

Thursday's news conference didn't dampen any action among Arlington Heights officials that the Bears might turn their attention back toward the northward side.

"What I didn't hear today - there are people on the radio talking about," said know, it's going to be a big myth, depicting unnecessary. They're going to change their name to the Hammond Bears and every thing is covering full speed and easy access to the city is happening," Arlington Heights Mayor Jim Trough told the Daily Herald.

Trough's said he remains hopeful that Springfield and the Bears can come to terms with a bill that can be signed by the governor before it's to clear.

And, whether there is November or February or March or May, I hope that something can be done and reverse this day back toward Arlington Heights,"

he added. "The stadium says has dropped on more than five years. The Bears first announced they were bidding to purchase Arlington Hammond Bears in the 1976 fiscal 2025. In the time, the team's focus has the dropped from Arlington Heights to the Chicago platform, back to Arlington Heights and now to northward Indian."

McCauley declined to elaborate on what discuss even with Illinois lawmakers have identified this summer. "We are all adults here," McCauley said. "We are done, count to two conversations, and I don't think it has to be who calls who first. If there are information discussions to be had, let's have them. In Indiana, they have been very proactive, very communicative, very solution-oriented."

Indiana lawmakers have submitted upcoming up to $1 billion to help build the stadium, to be paid with funding from a 1% food and beverage tax in Lake and Porter counties, a 1% hotel tax in Lake County, a 12% Hammond County, a 1% tax on the stadium and special tax districts around the state.

Warren also praised the "one-faceted" of internal smoking bans.

"The representatives from the state of Indiana, all the way from the governor's office to representative, have been personally active," Warren said. "They've been stellar to work with, very professional."

McCauley noted that

whether the Bears move to Arlington Heights or Hammond, the state won't change its name from the Chicago Bears.

He also said he understands the society that the Bears in Illinois might feel about their team leaving the state.

"It's going to require an adjustment," McCauley said. "But when I've driven that route, other than a signed-letter, I wouldn't know that I've just moved the state border."

"And as Bears said, once people are the building, once they get the same, and when understood that our top property from the one was a world-class stadium expansion, we think we'll make that adjustment. We think Bears lose are up for that."

Though Warren declined to provide a timeline for where the Bears want to build ground on a new stadium or when one might open. "My wife told me about six months ago, don't give any more target dates - he again said every year's delay in building a new stadium," said another 20-million or so. The Bears have a lease to keep placing at Soldier Field through 2035.

"While continuing that the state may be 'patient or 'get'night,' Warren emphasized the need to get the deal done.

"The time is now," he said. "It's time to bring this to a close."

Trial lawyer makes his case for school board president

Victor Henderson said stabilizing the district's finances and setting up standing committees would be his priorities

By Jason Armanier CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Why does a big-about trial lawyer wear an unpaid go, leading Chicago's school board?

Victor Henderson, a league writer-collar on tilling-tion attorney, points to his time on the board of Urban Prep Academies. The troubled charter school network was on the bonds of classes in 2023 amid allegations of financial mismanagement and sexual misconduct.

But Henderson said he now another side to Urban Prep, which covers Black boys at two high schools on the South Side. One student, he recalls, will be his school 'rated his life.' He stood alongside other Black business and civic leaders at a press conference calling on City Hall to stop in.

'I asked administrators, 'What? Does somebody so much like it? What is it about, whether it could talk to my in work things out?' They told me to.' Henderson said.

'I didn't understand you ever, but you are so. I think it's just unfortunate of how others too much politics in the system. There's too much talk of City Hall and who supports the mayor, and not nearly enough talk of state's hope.'

Henderson is one of the candidates running for president of the Board of Education. Also making an committee board members James a Biggs and Jennifer Carter, Chicago Teachers' Union, president's director Hilario Dominguez

and former board appointee Sandhil Bavelani.

Among the crowded field, Henderson is arguably the least known figure in Chicago's education circles. He said that could be an asset, as an outsider, he hopes to bring a fresh perspective to a system grappling with a mounting structural deficit, stagnant test across and disturbing enrollment.

The race is shaping up to be one of the closest wards to contests in the November election. For the first time, all 21 seats on the Board of Education are up for grab-forevisually, the board was composed of an unproven appointee. The board president works closely with CPS CEO Macogline King to shape district policy, largely deciding what goes up for vote.

Selected, Henderson said, his priority would be stabilizing the district's finance and setting up standing committees - a model that served of his opponents from and supported. The board's fellow-collar force continues to expand on student success, operations, and finance, but more has been formally established.

He called the district's $10.11 billion amended budget, which holds an 1,000 million in additional state funding that has not materialized, 'a must' and 'whance'.

The recent budget was has emerged as a key display line in the race, letting board members Biggs and Carter voted against the budget,

and Bavelani has also voted on opposition. Dominguez, who was endorsed by CTS, is the only candidate who has come out of the board.

'CPS has a financial crisis,' budgetary crisis, and I invite only person in the race who has that frame,' Henderson said. He is a former licensed certified public accountant, who recalls below.

Henderson's four adult children say CPS graduates, as are his parents and its boys. He lives in Morgan Park on the Pye South Side. He founded his law firm, Henderson Parks, in 2011, and has represented a wide

range of high-profile clients and elected officials, including former AM Williams Research director state Rep. Dorothy Smith.

His form has two pronging lawsuits against CPS. In one, Henderson represents a group of families who adopt a special education teacher physically abused students. In another, he represents the family of a 10-year-old boy who died after having a seizure at an elementary school.

Henderson stressed he would drop any involvement in litigation against CPS if elected.

'My integrity, my reputation means way too much to me,' Henderson said. 'Some amount of emotional and respect to me is the CPS finances. I would be more than happy to have applied to me.'

Henderson also has surged ahead in the money race, with $500,000 in cash on hand last month, according to state records. Much of that advantage stems from $500,000 in loans to his own campaign. Almost all of his other contributions come from individuals. Bavelani ends with $500,000 on hand, followed by Biggs and Carter

with $321,000 and $213,000, respectively. Dominguez did not report any contribution during the last filing period, but he also recorded nearly $100,000 from in-kind donations from CTS.

Henderson said he wants to keep his focus on two stakeholders through his campaign and, if elected, an board president, children and managers. But everyone 'should have a sort of the table,' he added.

'I'm just going to take my skills from the contributors, and just move them over to the schoolhouse,' Henderson said.

Contractor who paid bribes to McCook mayor sentenced

By Jason Meltzer CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A former suburban contractor was sentenced to five years of probation. That day for paying bribes was acting as bargment in corrupt McCook Mayor Jeff Tobolski in exchange for bargain contracts with the village.

In opening times 'from' Krimta from prison, City District Judge Aged Perry noted had to be in his assault on the seven years since the case flow started, and that the federal attorney would make it difficult for the Bureau of House trimming his case.

But the judge also noted that he had role in facilitating the corruption of Tobolski, both paying bribes and collecting extrusion payments from other contractors on the first major's behalf.

'Obviously, we have a lot of problems in Illinois with public officials taking bribes,' Perry said. 'These problems would not persist if one of these people's bribes acting as a middleman.'

Krimta, printed public earlier this year to a single count of filing a bibe last year, was 2017 on a 10-year job, the term of probation, Perry ordered Krimta, who now lives in Albany, New York, to pay a $10,000 fine, about

$50,000 in contractor, and serve 100 hours of community service per year for being supervised by the court. In her remarks, Perry also said she was troubled by Krimta's previous crisis in the board, and was not relatively minor, included at least one battery contractor. 'Baked to this public corruption.'

'You felt comfortable assaulting a woman and dropping the mayor's name, saying you would not get caught,' Perry said. 'And I told her very much about it.' The judge appeared to be referencing Krimta's 2020 construction maintenance battery trimming. He also noted at 3/8/2020, and about 2010 golf outing and fundraiser at illimination's center. Club in Lemoot.

A former manager at the McCook's McCook's current Krimta of funding bar from behind and attempting to take her phone out of her back pocket, according to the court records. When the protested, Krimta allegedly grabbed the victim's hand, the rest at the event and said, 'I'm untouchable. I always get what I want,' the records show.

Krimta pleaded guilty, and was given six days in Cook County jail in that case.

The case against Krimta stemmed from a uproar,

ing probe into corruption in Chicago's western suburbs that brought down more than a dozen people, including Tobolski and several other suburban mays, state legislatures, political operations, and businessmen.

Krimta, formerly of Weston Springs, was a friend of Tobolski's, and his company, Rasmussen Associates, did most project for the village of McCook while Tobolski was named.

According to his 16-page plan agreement with prosecutors, Krimta agreed to look back 5% of any work billed to McCook to Tobolski in 2016 in exchange for the mayor's high funding new business. Now a period of about eight years, Krimta paid Tobolski about $125,000 as part of the agreement, the plan stated.

During the same time period, Krimta also collected about $40,000 in bribes and extrusion payments on Tobolski's behalf from others. An eight states with McCook, Krimta kept about $50,000 of those payments for himself, the plan agreement stated.

On his 2017 tax return, Krimta expected $212,000 in net income, even though his total income, which included about $4,000 derived from criminal activity, exceeded $400,000, the plan stated.

Krimta also underreported his income on tax returns for

three other years, omitting bribe payments he received for his work to a country's tax manager for the neighboring village of Rasmussen, the plan stated.

Krimta's name from the local government's warrant occurred by the FBI in 2019 of village's bill in McCook as part of the Tobolski investigation.

At the time, Krimta has just completed a major renovation of the Alta Grill restaurant inside the McCook Athletic & Kippulation Center facility, the known as The Max. The FBI search warrant sought to find and allow visitors regarding The Max project, as well as information about a 'Latino Nights' event held there, records showed.

Krimta was also charged in the time.

Toobolski, was now held, pleaded guilty in September 2020 to company with McCook's then public chief, Mario DuPasquale, to enter a retreat set owner at The Max who needed permission to have events serving alcohol on village-owned property. At the time, Tobolski赴disability at McCook's liquor company.

In all, Tobolski, who was also the McCounty municipal sinner, admitted to accept any more than a quarter of a million dollars in bribes or voluntary payments over the

years. He also was deserved with a variety of other benefits, including cash, signs, dances, holiday gifts, sporting event tickets and free air-conditioning units, which are unidentified developer installed at Tobolski's home at a cost of $10,000.

Tobolski was sentenced to four years in prison and had been set to report to January. He fell ill last fall, however, and died in November, two days after the charges against Krimta were brought.

Before he was sent to The City, Krimta stood at the lecture and choked back on time as he read some brief remarks, apologizing for his conduct, which was done under a cloud of drag and a few celebrations and a few bites to 'completely lose sense of oneself.'

'I have done what I can to make amends, and will

continue to be so,' he said. Federal guidelines had called for up to 16 months in prison. Prosecutors had taken no position on whether he should serve prison time, given the health concerns, but said he was a quietly support able he has over conduct.

'Blaming his corrupt conduct on Tobolski and his dealing and drug addiction in no excuse for his choice to engage in criminal conduct for many years,' Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hogan wrote in a recent sentencing filing.

Krimta's attorney, Josh Herman, said 'The order that Krimta 'was a complete and easy way of' when he first met him nearly seven years ago, adding he's now gotten either and 'come out of this really dark place he was in.'

Herman also said Krimta was paying the cost for coming into the 'whist' of Tobolski's corruption.

'There is no price worth being adjacent to illicit and corrupt power,' Herman said. 'From inside there (human defilements), he made them consciously. Once he got close to that power and some of it rubbed off on him, he didn't get out. He should have, not he didn't and he owns it.'

Shedd Aquarium rescues four more beluga whales from Canada

By Finnegan Bullous CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Four additional beluga whales arrived at the Shedd Aquarium from a Green Mountain station past Thursday morning in the recent wave of an international rescue effort.

Like the previous group of four who moved to Shedd last month, all of these belugas are females with established heads, according to an aquarium news release. The first 10,000 people were called to several residents yet, as reports monitor the health behind the scenes.

Thirty whales are being evacuated from Marineland

of Canada, a closed marine park in Niagara Falls, Ontario. According to a previous news release, Marineland's owners threatened to euthanize the belugas. Shedd staff previously and they hope to rescue 10 whales, leaving just two men held to move to Chicago.

Facilities in the U.S. and Spain plan to take the next foreign Aquarium released two belugas in the most recent effort, stopping in Chicago before continuing to Miami, according to the official news release.

Johnny Ford, vice president of communist citizen of Shedd, previously and in habitats were built to find 'far more' animals than it

currently has, and these facilities could probably house even more after the transfer of 28 500 plugs. Eight belugas lived in the aquarium prior to the rescue effort.

The new belugas names are Caspian, Perkache, Rain and Sennel, according to the news release. Their age range from 20 to 27 years old. Each one has three own unique characteristics: Perkache, for example, has a nonfunctional right eye, while its neck/neptors moving forward, has a short around the habitat with her mouth.

Beluga whales are found globally in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters, according to the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration. Many are near Alaska.

Some beluga populations are born in endangered or depleted. Weighing an average of 5,000 pounds, the whales have been natural and subsistence, commerce and sport.

In late July, Karina Tanz, local veterinarian and vice president of animal health at Shedd Aquarium, said the remaining beluga rescues would take place within the next several weeks. Aquarium was distributed to persons a more specific timeline and when these rescues might take place or when the whales would be visible to the public.

Four beluga whales relocated from a facility in Canada, sworn away to even another in a habitat at Chicago's Green Aquarium on July 23. The whales have been under trunk-free clock observation, according to scientists on site. JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

from Anglia St.

his family and friends held the funeral they were saved. That he was saved.

"Seeing goodbye is still so hard," his older sister Angela Young said. through, sobs, briefly standing mid-service to address the crumbled room. "Until we meet again, you will forever be in my heart. I love you, Keith."

As she handed back to her seat, she hugged another brother of them. The oblique hold each other close, rocking back and forth.

"I'm sorry," Angela Young said to him. "I'm sorry."

Keith Allen Young died on July 26 at age 68. Born at Cook County Thursher, he was raised on the West Side with his four sisters and two brothers, according to his obituary. He worked as a garage door installer and was known for his dedication, reliability and strong work ethic. He was married, devoted to his family and had the kind of contagious sense of humor that left everyone around him laughing, his loved ones remembered.

"He laughed about everything," Kevin Pittman, Keith's best friend, said outside Thursday's service. "When me and him was together, there was nothing to be said about."

The two met as teenagers staying on the same West Side block. Keith Young was someone Pittman could call for anything. He was there for the birth of Pittman's first child, and even took him to the hospital.

The last time the friends spoke was the day Young died. Pittman had called him to see if he wanted to come out, but he said he had a baby shower to attend. Pittman told his friend he'd catch up with him later.

"This is my later," Pittman said.

He'll miss his friend. "I'm just glad to see it's over," he said. "We just got to taken day by day now."

A week ago, officials found 50 decomposing bodies at South Chicago Chapel after a complaint was filed reporting that remains were not being properly stored.

Family and friends of Keith Young gather for his funeral service on Thursday in East Garfield Park.

Their discovery drew immediate scrutiny of the owners of the funeral home, who previously operated a south suburban commuter that was shut down in March 2020 after the remains of more than 300 bodies were found improperly stored there. It has also kicked off a regulatory blame game as officials from several agencies around the city and state try to understand what happened and what systems failed.

The Young family had initially planned Keith's vacation a week ago, far-famed the day after. They had hired

South Chicago Chapel to handle the services. But as the visitation approached, the family grew unguided. They called the funeral home director, who told them there was police activity in the neighborhood blocking the way but she promised to deliver Keith.

Instead, his body was among those that authorities recovered from South Chicago Chapel.

The following morning, loved ones gathered outside of the Cook County medical examiner's office, where the improperly stored remains had been brought through

the night. Athey waited for answers, the family stood hard in hand and prayed.

"This would have been my last time to be able to see him," Keith's sister, Deja Young, had told the Tribune steps away from the Near West Side offices. Then, she didn't know if that goodbye was lost to her forever.

But Thursday's service, Deja said, helped her come to terms with her loss.

"I couldn't make sense of it in my head. I couldn't," she said. "But what gave me a lot of closure."

Weathe of red and white flowers crowded Keith Young's casket at the front of the small church. Praises and remarks and music filled the hour.

"Now, we're living in times of heartbreak," Pastor James Hicks eshagized. "But you know the root says, 'Grace unto you.' And you can take grace in here. I think y'all want grace. You can have grace, you can have grace, you can have grace in a time of trouble."

Kreshanna Brooks Rogers had taken great care in ensuring every moment of the funeral was tended to. The Young family contacted the longtime funeral direc-

tor over the weekend, after they'd received word from the medical examiner's office that Keith's body could be released. She was honored to have her funeral home, Brooks Memorial Chapel, handle his new services.

"It just made me more eager," Brooks Rogers said, "to right a wrong."

A细雨 can for more than 20 years, Brooks Rogers said she tries to treat each family she works with as if they're her own.

"It should be your whole heart," she said. "You're being honored with the duty of preparing their loved one for the last time."

This time, though, was especially personal, Brooks Rogers knew Keith Young. Though she didn't know it at first, she realized – as she readied his body for visitation – that they'd crossed paths a few years ago. They met by chance playing slots at the same West Side gas station. She never knew his last name. He used to turn her about being a mother, she recalled.

When she prepared him for his family this week, she made sure to tease him back. "See!" she remembered telling him. "I got a chance

to devoc you after all!"

After the funeral, his siblings said they were grateful to see the services through.

"Being postponed it's just delayed healing," Laemmle Young, Keith's older brother, said. "But now, it's like we're on that road."

Stephanie Young, Keith's sister, said her family was "just happy to have his body." It meant the world to them, she added, to see so many people come together to honor his life.

Still, it was a bitterness and...

His burial was postponed again by Tuesday's storm. Hinch before his residential visitations, loved ones were told that the south suburban cemetery they'd planned on taking him to wouldn't be able to bury him after his transfer to the weather had affected their facilities.

Cemetery staff is a call Thursday morning confirmed a formula had reached down through their grounds on Tuesday and that they were closed for the time being as dozens of downed trees and power lines were cleared away.

Angela Young said hey family was also still seeking answers. They hadn't yet heard from any elected officials, she said. She wants no commission.

"I just don't want Keith to go unnoticed," she said.

Itches of the burial Thursday, loved ones stored at the church to show a new! Fling into a room down the stairs from the church hall, family and friends out at tables lined with white, each carrying a centerpiece of pink posters. Ram Maved as the summer boat persisted outside. The room hummed with quiet conversation.

Keith's siblings, meanwhile, said they were still standing by for a new burial date, for when they'd finally be able to lay their brother to rest.

For sure, they'll wait.

Chicago to make full $260M advance pension payment, mayor says

By Jake Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago will have ahead with its full $260 million supplemental pension payment, Mayor Brendan Johnson's second the city's severer Thursday.

Johnson pledged to make the payment — aimed at shipping away at the city's towering unfunded pension liabilities — during the Chicago-based tax-exchange tax tax tax request City Hall's senior single cut on was not "of its fiscal views. Its full net rental what now is to make the payment to balance the city's next budget."

"Let me say that one more time I want to consider the city's next budget," said the second budgeted supplemental pension payment this year, "is told

the investor crowd. 'Because of property tax delays from the county, it's a question of when, not if.'

The pledge adds another, and possibly final, chapter to the rages of the $260 million payment, which has become a key source of contention between Johnson and the City Council.

The mayor's initial budget proposal last October recommended a smaller $320 million payment, but aldermen argued that amount was ineffective for the city's troubled pension funds and warned that the smaller sum could trigger a credit downgrade. Johnson opposed allotments passed a budget against the mayor's wishes that included the full payment.

Johnson announced in January that the administration had made only half the

payment, while promising to pay the remaining $180 million later in the year.

The move led aldermen to question whether the mayor would alert the budget they had passed. All, bansmills, Nugent, 39th, even pushed for a referendum during one victory, whether Chicago should make its pension contributions in the first quarter of every year, though that proposal has since stalled.

In a statement on Thursday, Nugent said the mayor fought the aldermen effort to include the advance pension payment in the budget.

"Hail on the payment seem months like isn't a celebration - it's a reminder that it took sustained pressure from our coalition to move back to action," Nugent said. "That's not leadership

it's can do up."

Last month, top city budget officials told aldermen they were analyzing when and how much they could pay the remaining sum amid a delay in preparing payments to the city from Cook County. The government saw handing by Treasurer Maria Pepper office.

With Thursday's announcement, Johnson aimed to put the question here's —

"We're able to do all this because we had the vision, but we also had the right elements regarding fiscal stewardship, and our financial planning and a wealth of internal and dedicated public servants to carry out both," he said.

Brendan White, the city's acting chief financial officer, said the city right the advance payment first

made by former Mayor Lori Lightner's administration because the money now comes from the city towered operating budget. It had previously been paid using cash on hand at the start of each year, he said.

The advance payments "are really beneficial to me" for the city's pension funds and start off "catastrophic" damage in the event of an economic downturn. White said the channel that its spent today is worth $2 in the future.

"We always budgeted for this," he said. "We're not making a quick to financial best practices and do whatever it takes to secure the long-term financial strength of the city."

Johnson's administration took the run step of not turning, equivalent to last year's annual conference,

but allowed members of the mayor to attend the mayor's meeting.

"As he spoke late Thursday afternoon, Johnson did not signal what he might propose when he presents the city's next budget in October. He again chose: 'From the city to the city, or cross taxes on cloud computing software, social media companies and sports facilities.'

He placed an answer of which has legal challenges, then what works he said.

"Structural progresses even more that help ensure that the city's new system are shared with working people," he said. "Because when our local governments have more to invest in our new system, we need to benefit our neighborhoods benefit and our entire economy grows stronger."

somewhat unconventional Senate campaign. He's lived in Alaska for nearly 30 years, and before next Tuesday's primary election, he wants to impress upon his neighbors that the GDR incumbent shouldn't be anywhere near Congress. He's also running as a Republican.

It's a contentious race that has noticed implicity, some say and a gullible of a name. With control of the U.S. Senate up for public Republican want to hold onto their majority. Donor, candidate like there, is kind of winning in Alaska. And experts say, once a small little could make a difference.

Alaska tends to run by a swing state in terms of presidential elections, but it is on the air, its that seems to very much value its political independence," said Jim Rogowski, a political science professor at the University of Chicago.

GROWING UP IN CHICAGO

Dan Sullivan was raised in the city's first district at the "type of Chicago Irish City" in the family? He hardly moved from the city to the suburbs for more space, giving full-bodied business and exploring the prairie and would pay their subdivision.

"I was fortunate to grow up in these business days, when my dad could work and increase brand home and raised my kids," the 69-year-old man. "The economy was booming much that we could have a decent standard of living."

His father worked in the city industry and spent it in a small a strong work ethic to his children, Sullivan said. He preached the importance of being a "kind and honest human being."

Sullivan also got his name from his father. He's a third generation Dan Sullivan, and his broader family, who can start some 20-yr away of bouncing the family name, he said.

"It's funny when I had my kids and I asked my wife, 'If we had a boy, what was the think about Dan?' He looked at me like me," Sullivan said.

Sullivan graduated from Homestead (Pleasant High School in 1971 and the year a Senator's game from South-eastern Illinois to help 20-yr years later. This industry is how he ended up settling thousands of miles away in Alaska.

He still enjoys deep data, savage pizza and canning. "The age's healed game, especially one that it's not because he went to the game from 200 with the interest. His family lives on the North Side but he grew up a White but he also had support both.

"I have to give a totally political answer because it's true," he said.

One of Sullivan's siblings, Paul Sullivan, is the In the Wake of the New Leadership for the Tribune. Paul Sullivan said he and his brother, who is a member of the state political opinion, are still much about them, so that he's very intelligent and informed about issues this longer in Alaska.

Sullivan lives in a small fishing town called Pennsylvania where there's no traffic light and no long line access to it. And he is a member of a local, he added. Living in a remote area is what you have the confidence to do something as ambitious a running for Congress. Journal

towns, "people step up and do things," he said.

"People make running for a Senate seat in crazy, and in some ways it is. But if you doesn't fool as a black man at it might be an outsider," Sullivan said. "I've done a lot of things here that I didn't imagine," he could do when I was growing up in Chicago."

A NEW VISION OF A REPUBLICAN

When the incumbent Republican made a vote or statement Sullivan disagreed with, he said it deeply affected him. Part of it was because of the attachment he feels with their shared name, he said. Sullivan doesn't think his opponent is as accountable to a community after with his constituents as he should be.

He thinks his rhetoric is too distinct. He also accused the senator of being too inclined to increase Congress's power to the president.

Sullivan said he toured for years with running for office, mostly in a joking manner. But recent news overtrends have been made by the Democratic for Alaskan-based, Sullivan said, and he took particular issue with the senator's silence on President Donald Trump's "anti-woop-nutrition" fund. He wants to focus on lowering energy and housing costs.

"There can be a vision of a Republic on that address—the needs of more people than just over the new tobacco in Alaska base," Sullivan said. While he isn't a seasoned politician, he said he has a

myriad of like experience that make him qualified for the past two years. "I think we watch the office's get it out of us off the profession. We're just a father of two and a former volunteer for man."

The incumbent senator, Dan Sullivan, isn't having to be able to make the campaign for comment for this article, but has previously said the other Sullivan's campaign is a dishonest trial. Senator's confuse voters. He accused his mate read, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Mary Bates, of not hastening the scheme.

Alaska has an appropriate system where the first state dates who get the most votes to be qualified, of going advance to the cooked school general election in November. There are 16 candidates in the ballot.

"Everybody in Alaska knows I'm Dan Sullivan. It is his trying to do that. Why?" the senator said of the other Dan Sullivan, according to the Associated Press. "He's not an E. He's purposely trying to risk my constituents to by the election for Pebble."

A spokesperson for Pebble's campaign, Harry Child, as well as a spokesperson for the state's Democratic Party denied any involvement. Sullivan also denied having any contact with them.

Sullivan was previously registered with the Alaskan Independence Party. But because it's now dissolved, Sullivan said he would have been labeled 'undeclared.' So he registered as a Republican when filing in one for office.

He considers himself as leaning toward the centre with touches of libertarian, not, and said he certainly not a Democrat. He also knew his selection would draw on the political comparison with the senator.

"I chose Republicans because I wanted to take it to the senator," he said. "The Republicans Party has a place, and that they don't have to be the party of Donald Trump. They have ideas that are valuable. These are things that I saw exemplified in the family that I grew up in."

A BALLOT FIGHT

What followed was a week-long fight over how Sullivan would appear on the ballot, or if he would not cooperate at all.

The Alaska Division of Elections attempted to disqualify him back in June. A decision he sued over. The Alaska Supreme Court determined he could appear, however the election division could decide exactly how his name would be listed.

The election on "Dental of Sullivan Jr." the Republican party designation isn't listed, and the senator is labeled as the incumbent. It's a date, even Sullivan said he doesn't entirely agree with, but he wanted to move on the first pricey litigation and focus on the issues. He said he doesn't plan to choose another candidate. If he knew

that there's 10 other people running, and because of the fortunes or stinkerous of having a different name, there's no question of whether they should be allowed to run," he said. "And because of my name," he held to the totally different standard." He also argued that his fellow Alaskans are a pretty

same bunch, referencing his Law. Manihowick's Internet write on campaign victory in 2020. He said he taught his fifties goin as history class that it's their responsibility in advance to be a informed voter.

"I think the majority of voters, the great great majority of voters, are going to get it," he said.

Rogowski, the U. of C. professor, said protesters tend to be low-internation controls for many voters, meaning that the state's postpartnership or incumbrency is guide that it becomes. He suspects the differentiation in the full-bodied names on the ballot. All reduce most of the ambiguity.

"What is the name of the most notable candidate named Rogowski's board of that doesn't mean it's the only case."

He promised to the 1996 election in the election in Virginia. Mark Warner, the current Virginia senator, can unnecessarily appear in name for Republicans. Max Warner, the first Washington senator, that said "Mark, not John." (There's no relation between the two.)

"The incumbent still is what an open question is whether the contest was closer than one might have expected," because some voters were not sure of the distinction between John and Mark Warner when they went to the ballot too.

Rogowski said a bigger question may be whether he up the session or an "incumbent" could lead to a ban on the "anti-woop-nutrition" bill, where voters cannot be in an anti-incumbent mood.

Rathibale Babin, also of off, defined state or professional, who is a member of the state's "historically unpopular." It's a gamble that some Republicans may want to enter the party as a different direction.

"We tend to think that midterm who's made up an opportunity to weigh in on how the presidency performs. We are through you to making members Congress," she said.

But it's still unclear, she said, who will benefit or be denied, charged with so much talk of name.

"The more the candidates are arguing about names, the less they're talking about issues," she said.

WILLING TO BE THAT CHANCE

When Sullivan decided to run, he expected more attention because of his name. The anti-woop-nutrition campaign him completely off guard.

At first, he called a "one-whelming but fairly harsome one." There were lots of sales, reviews and even a Jimmy Fallon left. When he was removed from the ballot, however, it took a darker turn. He said he discovered that the state's "unlike, which is where he's done most of the campaigning."

Ultimately he said he wants to make a difference and fight for a bright future for young people. Noting up the campaign, he said he wanted to the editor didn't seem like it went for enough.

If he ends up in the top four next week, he said he'll be the first to do it. He said he's going. If he doesn't make it to the top, he'll go back to planning his next trip to Chicago.

The campaign on some years of this," he said. "It's time for a change. I am willing to be that change if my message resonates with people."

A no good,

very bad summer for salad

Parents are all too familiar with the ongoing battle to get their kids to eat a vegetable or two.

This summer, they've been fighting it themselves. Just weeks ago, every bite of green cane with the fear of exposure to cyclopropionic, a parasitic many of us were blissfully unaware of until it began triggering stomach problems that leave no dignity for the sufferer.

As of Aug. 5, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported a 200-cane, 210 hospitalizations and two deaths in the mid-late in cyclopropionic outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico. The company recalled all iceberg lettuce snarred from central Mexico in mid-July. The recalled lettuce was distributed and sold in at least 27 states to consumers, restaurants and retailers, including Taco Bell locations and Marketside. He and producers at select Walmart stores.

If you found yourself on the wrong side of that recall, see pity you and hope you are well again. For now, it seems that we can go back to enjoying our dropped, wedge and Caesar salads in peace.

Now, in August, the Food and Drug Administration is warning Americans not to "eat, serve or sell recalled fresh jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico, distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors," a products made with these peppers, which is contaminated with salicylates. Kids who bought recalled faba Ponce or faba Bolo from Whole Foods, provide galle from Walmart or Taylor Farms gas canals from Target should toss these items in the garbage, if they haven't already.

Can we get to September already? Here, all to find yourself afraid of your salad, frightened of gas canals, not even around sales.

Especially at a time of year when so much of our most delicious produce is in season.

Something extraordinary those episodes illustrate, in our view, is the vulnerability of America's highly interconnected foods food supply chain, in which one groves or supplier problems can lodge astonishingly far.

Surely these stories caused anxiety as far more people than usual illness. We know plenty of folks who couldn't bring themselves to state a salad kicks for some time after learning of the situation in Europe.

Perhaps a more cheerful outlet for such fears is to become more frequent farmers market shoppen chokers the season ends. With a wide range of options spanning weekdays and weekends, from With Street to Andromerillo to Dalar Plaza to the Parks, there's still plenty of time to enjoy locally grown produce before another Chicago season disappears.

And for those feeling particularly ambitious, there's always urban gardening.

As here's hoping September brings nothing more alarming from the produce pits than the annual realization that you bought far greater than what's another. Until then, wash your vegetables, and maybe don't read the FDA recall page immediately before lunch.

ON THIS DAY 10 YEARS AGO

THE TEACHERS' FEDERATION

In its inception the Teachers' federation had a purpose recognized by a university. The teachers in the public schools were being asked to suffer for local government- and government-provision of taxation and distribution of taxes. They were being asked to submit—rather not asked, but ordered—to reduction in salary that the schools might be kept within appropriations insufficient for them.

The Teachers' federation was organized, and with the cohesive power of organization succeeded in doing what the individuals in the teaching force might have tried in vain to do. It was responsible for some correction of tax abuses, and if the affected protection to most important workers in the social organization.

It has given the teachers the validity of organized expansion, and has become powerful in the management of the schools. There is a disposition in organization of this sort to become self-centered. An anastomatous instance the United Police might be mentioned. That organization of policy, then in the mid-Secane instance is the best interest of the city. It embodied the dangerous doctrine that servants of the public might attack the public in their own interests. Toleration of that theory was impossible. It was little worse to have any objections than to have one which concerned the third duty to be to feed, and which brought the accomplishment of its purposes by political means.

The query now is whether the Teachers' federation has become so self-absorbed that it is considering primarily if not exclusively the welfare of its members to the growing disregard of the service which the teacher does to the community. For the community to ignore that service would be deplorable. For the teacher to forget the community importance of educational work would be more so.

Employees handle calls in Discover's call center in the Chatham neighborhood on July 18, 2026. K. JASON MANNELLANS/COHCAIO TRIBUNE

Discover's South Side call center has survived Capital One's cuts so far. What about after a head tax?

The job hits just keep on coming in the northern suburbs from Capital One's acquisition last year of credit card issuer Discover Financial Services.

Capital One and earlier this week is being off 243 more workers at the former Riverwood headquarters of Discover. Including these new reductions, over the past 10 months Capital One has cut nearly 1,500 jobs in Illinois more than a fifth of Discover's workforce here before the heaviest, according to Grant's Chicago Business.

While the good paying white-collar jobs in the banks are getting slashed, the substantial workforce Capital One inherited from Discover in the city of Chicago largely has been spared. Most prominent has been the call center. Discover opened with banker in Chatham on the city's account, but in part of an abandoned Target store.

Capital One instead when it announced the Discover deal in February 2024 that it would preserve the Chatham operation, which had been opened just two years before. The project represented one of corporate Chicago's most significant investments in Chicago's fourth side in decades. Discover's then CEO Roger the Sochall framed the move at the time as "sparking impes the systemic racund in our own home town through infrastructure investment, jobs and philanthropic support."

Discover prioritized hiring from the neighborhood and surrounding revenues to fill the 1,000 jobs it was creating. The majority of these call center workers continue to be South Side's, a Capital One spokeswoman will so.

So it's ironic that Meyer Brandon Johnson's continued call to impose a monthly $33 per-yr tax on private-succe employers in Chicago with headcount of 100 or more would penalize Capital One's continued commitment to the South Side — to the tune of nearly $400,000 more per year. That would be Capital One's price for paying so many people to work in a part of town where jobs are scarce.

Unlike Discover, Capital One isn't locally based, which is partly why it feels free to cut so many north suburban jobs. In the world of corporate mergers and acquisitions, an out-of-town buyer looks to cut costs in order to help

cover the share-price premium necessary to climb the deal and those reductions typically come mainly at the expense of the seller. Capital One's McLane, Virginia, headquarters is doing one from Chicago's South Side.

What is part of the right mind would want to send such a negative signal to an acquirer of a local company that went far out of its way to create economic opportunity in a part of the city where the cost of doing business is so high that retail game like Walmart, Target and Walgreens have shattered multiple stores? Walmart, in fact, closed in Chatham more very near the Capital One call center earlier this year.

And what locally based corporation would consider following in Discover's footsteps and making a similar investment out of a sense of duty to neglected city neighborhoods for the privilege of ensuring crisis on each job covered.

The Chatham call center in the credit card company's most stable presence in Chicago, but it's not the only one. All told, Capital One employs more than 2,500 in the city, including at its satellite office at 77 W. Wacker Drive.

Speaking in the context of the head tax, the Capital One spokeswoman says in an email. "It is premature to comment on specific plans, but significant policy changes would naturally factor into how we evaluate future planning and investment in the region."

Johnson will propose the last budget of his term in a couple months, and he will continue a daunting budget deficit just as he's done in each of the past three years. We don't know yet whether he will take another run at obtaining City Council approval of the corporate head tax, but afternoon who were part of the council majority that rejected the job; he's just your suspect he will, if only he would as a political weapon in his reduction campaign. (Johnson has yet to announce his intentions.)

In continuing to publicly grown about the council's action, Johnson had repeatedly a diligent Chicago's business community for refusing to put "skin in the game" to help solve the city's structural budget shortfalls. The Chatham call center sure looks like skin in the game to us.

Speaker Welch's only way out of latest scandal is through ethics reform

It runs something about the state of what is in Illinois government that the very person who can control the felon Michael Madigan as House speaker to now under a dark ethics cloud himself. There are no charges of public corruption surrounding Emanuel 'Chris' Welch. In fact, as speaker, Welch has rebound a lot of what was wrong with Madigan's handling of the office. He has roughly a mere incleance style of the state, been, in a reality to the public and the press, and even committed to serve no more than five terms as speaker.

For Welch, like Madigan before him, mishandled a sexual harassment charge against a lawmaker that was brought to him privately by a General Assembly traffic. Welch sat on the complaint for three years before a spiked into public view, thanks to investigative reporting by the Tribune. The truth will cut, after all.

Why does the state of Illinois have such problems?

A culture of corruption and tolerance of ethical interpretative persons in Illinois because the elected leaders, when handed the opportunity to clean up government, have mostly just taken a pass.

I know this from experience, given

how hard my organization, the Better Government Association, and others have worked toward ethics reform, with far too little to show for the effort. The most bitter setback came when the state largely just stood down, in 2020 and since, after the Madigan transgression created a mandate for transformative change.

That mandate was mostly ignored. Gov. J.P. Pritcher and the legislature came up with only instrumental improvements in required financial disclosures by elected officials and lobbyists. Pritcher, locally aware the response bill for short of the moment, promised more would come from a new Joint Commission on Ethics and Lobbying Reform by charged with ending 'the unconscionable self-enrichment and corruption that has been uncovered.'

The commission held a few hearings, that shut down without issuing a report or recommendation.

There was no lack of good ideas. The JEG issued a comprehensive list of reforms, based on best practices from around the nation.

Many of the corporate focused on independent strength of the General Assembly for the legislature's major, not ignored. Gov. the LIG independent subpoena power, for example. Allow the LIG to independently issue investigative reports. Expand the Legislative Ethics Commission — which revenues the IG and is composed entirely of General Assembly members — to include public representatives.

None of that happened. The BGA proposed a two-year cool-

ing-off period before a former member could lobby the legislature. The reforms would have forbidden state lawmakers from lobbying other nation-dominant most in Illinois, trying to help red lawmakers from leadership roles and banned the use of campaign funds for defense against public corruption charges.

None of that happened, either. The ethics reform bill that ultimately did pass, under Welch's leadership to his first term as speaker, was so weak that the then-LIG Committee got while it was in progress. Her relegation letter complained the new law, still under consideration, would render the office a 'paper tiger.'

Pritcher signed the bill into law anyway, without amendment. He promised to strengthen ethics in subsequent laws, but never materially delivered, he never made a demonstration public push to do so, either.

So here the state is again. Welch is failing to do it, — for failing to act on a sexual harassment complaint brought to him against new shipyard former Rep. Peter Benton and for social media time actions that have raised questions about Welch's state behavior with women working in Illinois government. The Tribune Editor said that it has called no conclusion for the legislature to declare if Welch is still fit to serve as speaker — and what they would do, if elected, to advance ethics reform.

Perhaps the only way out for Welch is to go far beyond the top of promises to date. So far, he has picked a call to

address personnel policies and form a committee — another year — to consider broader ethics reform.

Welch has described his mishandling of the matter as a systemic failure that he has laid out no plan to fix the system.

Well, there may be no one better to lead the repair job than the speaker, knowing the public scrutiny by will. Even if we wrote to close up this move — much of it will made, in fact.

Welch used not wait for that blue-ribbon commission he has tallied about. Plenty of strong ideas were presented — three opened — the last time a speaker faced a scandal. If Welch leads an effort to bring those ideas to a vote, he could perhaps save his job by becoming the unlikely pleading of ethics reform in Illinois.

As for Pritcher, he has his own incentive to respond strongly now — as ways he failed to do as ethics and corruption allegations against Madigan came to light. Pritcher has been open about his aspirations to run for president, and he must know that a strong response to the current ethics crisis is his only hope to minimize the public of damage from being CEO of a state with a culture of corruption that he has failed to materially mitigate in nearly a decade as governor.

You can now, by Welch, and Pritcher would merely set up our state for the next office or corruption failure — one that Welch, Pritcher and the people of this state can ill afford.

Let me dispel the myth of the overpaid professor

By Francisco Ruiz VIEGA, SUNY TRIBUNE

Universities are breaking the economic loyalty that once kept experts in the classroom.

Ask the strong person who's left professors do, and you may hear a familiar story. They work a few hours a week, enjoy lifetime job security and collect blasted purchases for funded by young tuition.

As a natural engineering professor with nearly 40 years of service, I can say that this picture is not merely the complete. It misunderstands how universities have historically recruited and retained faculty, particularly in technical fields.

A faculty career often requires substantial financial sacrifice. In engineering, computer science, medicine and related professions, an experienced practitioner can frequently care for most — in industry than a university is proposed to pay. A senior engineer with decades of experience may command a salary well above $200,000 along with bonuses or equity. After four decades of teaching, advising and research, my salary is barely half of that. Because of salary compression, I some considerably more than most newly hired assistant professors entering the university today.

Why is your that made? For generations, higher education offered an implicit bargain.

University of Illinois Springfield protest Faculty members and other supporters protest on campus on April 8 after going on strike days earlier. The two-week walkout had been about pay revenues and more. ELLEN T. MELLAK/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Faculty members accepted lower lifetime earnings in exchange for forms of compensation that were not entirely financial. Intellectual independence, the opportunity to pursue long term research that might not be considered 'very' today and, after a rigorous probationary period, tenure.

Tenure was never simply a luxury park. It was part of the compensation package — a discount intervention offered to recruit people they could not afford to match in the private sector. It also served a public purpose by protecting teaching and research from political inter-

ference and arbitrary dismissal. That bargain is now under strain.

Across the country, financially troubled universities are pursuing corporate-style restructuring, eliminating group and and facing off-faculty members. At my institution, the Illinois Institute of Technology, administration recently eliminated roughly a third of the workforce in a single career.

In each purpose, veteran professors are not necessary to be protected by loyalty, the sake of service or tenure. Sometimes we survive for a low flattering reason. We are cheap.

My salary has been compressed by decades of taxes and below inflation and stagnant institutionalized yet scales. I carry a substitute teaching and advising lead for far less than the cost of replacing my. The result is an uncomfortable insomnium. A university may eliminate a more highly paid professor while retaining a veteran whose compensation is far under the market value of the work.

There is not a defense of inefficiency. It is evidence of a broken compensation system.

To the public, faculty reductions can look like overdue administrative discipline. Universities do need to examine their budgets and professors should not be exempt from scrutiny. But the public should also understand what happens when institutions reduce job security while continuing to pay way less than competing employees.

The academic talent pipeline happens weakens.

Why would a promising young researcher accept faculty offer of $250,000 with uncertain employment prospects when a technology company or defense contractor offers $300,000 on the first day? Some will still choose academic, some must by teaching research or public service. But fewer will be able to afford the choice, especially when housing, family obligation and student debt are part of the calculation.

They have years before they can't up to their classmates because they needed a Ph.D.

The consequences will not be confined to faculty lounges. Students will encounter larger classes, fewer course offerings and ensure transient instructional workforce. Universities may discover that it is possible to reduce payroll without immediately reducing enrollment, but impossible to preserve educational quality indefinitely while making academic careers less competitive.

Tenure is often a bit critical as a model for best professors. In reality, it is one component of a larger bargain that has helped universities attract experts away from more lucrative careers. If institutions want the flexibility of corporation, they may eventually have to offer corporate compensation, with the inescapable effect on tuition.

Otherwise, the most marketable scientists, engineers and scholars will do what rational workers do. They will go where their expertise is valued — and paid for.

OPINION

Modern day collections don't compare to Julius Rosenwald

By Harold Pollack SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

Anne would not be on the end. I visited the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry to see the morning commemoration of Jesus' final. On our way out of the middle, we found a plaque commemorating the mass-says founder, Julius Rosenwald. Wednesday marked what would have been his death birthday. This is a fitting record to track the achievement of arguably the greatest Chicago mission on city's history.

As outlined in the suggested biography produced by Margaret von, Peter Jacob, and a remarkable documentary by Anne Kempner, Rosenwald's accomplishments were breathtaking. He was the founding entrepreneur of Isuzu, Roebuck & Co., the founder of Hyde, whose main entire catalogue brought desperately needed goods to every corner of America.

Because of these achievements, Rosenwald became the progressive or reorganization of comfortable billionaire, though his wealth (index equivalent of less than $4 billion) was modestly the standard of theory (had a black) Rockefeller or wider two forces. That comparison ended off the most astonishing what Rosenwald was able to accomplish with his paltry few billion.

In the summer of 1951, a head seat Rosenwald "Up from Slavery" Booker T. Washington's autobiography, alongside a biography of William H. Baldwin, a philanthropist who sought to improve educational opportunities for African Americans, showed to the parallels between the Black and Jewish experience of oppression, Rosenwald connected with Washington and others to build an estimated 1,000 schools that served roughly one-third of all Black students in the South. In 1952, an estimated 400,000 Black students attended Rosenwald school. Moreover, because the basic catalog did not racially discriminate, economic historians are on the road up as a major to the Black commemorationist, stop the indigestion and discrimination of Jim Crow commens.

Rosenwald supported the construction of FMCAs in supplicated cities across America, so that Black migrants had places to stop when they visited the coast of Chicago seeking work. Rosenwald family resources helped provide the facilities that would provide the

Julius Rosenwald, seen in 1929, was a Chicago businessman and philanthropist. He is best known as the part-owner of Isuzu, Roebuck & Co. and by starting the Rosenwald School, which elevated millions to educate rural African Americans children in the South. Rosenwald was also a founder of the Museum of Science and Industry and served as its president from 1927 to 1932. The year he died, besides helping Jewish immigrants who came to Chicago, Rosenwald was most famous for establishing more than 5,000 Rosenwald schools in the rural South. CHICAGO PUBLIC & EXCHANGE

accomplishments of the Tuskegee airmen, and supported NAACP legal efforts that ultimately were turned at local segregation. Rosenwald fellowships supported WEA, Du Bois, Marion Anderson, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Dr. Charles Drew, John Hope Franklin and so many others.

Here in Chicago, Rosenwald built apartment complexes for low-income Chicagoans. He provided substantial support for what is now University of Chicago Medicare. He pursued fair labor practices through collective bargaining. He was a founding benefactor for the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration, now the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, which I am proud to call my professional home.

Rosenwald's myriad achievements provide a charming contrast to today's billionaires such as Jefferson, Waltz, Tuckerberg and Kline Black. Those men must be honored for producing innovative products that improve millions of people's lives. America's billionaires have billionaire entrepreneurs who accomplish such things. Yet Rosenwald undermined that people who command such great resources also have a responsibility to use these resources to help others. Adjusted for inflation, each of these men commands vastly greater resources than Rosenwald over did. Yet Rosenwald accomplished the more to help others, so far more difficult times. Like Bill Gates and MacKenzie Korthwing, Rosenwald realized that people who command great wealth have

corresponding responsible laws to help others. As a friend Demezian, I don't share the public at times of the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry's current boundaries. Kers Griffin, from across the ideological divide, I must respect that he depicts considerable resources for valuable philanthropy.

Most has been set up precisely the opposite manner, working to defend essential global health programs he could have easily funded out of low-removalers, costing hundreds of thousands of human lives. It's pitiful to see such a talented and blessed person make such destructive a defining legacy of his time on this earth.

The discipline and economy of Rosenwald's philanthropy also provides a fascinating contrast to our current halobound efforts to help people. On a dissenting

budget, he and his community partner built 1,000 schools. The city of Chicago recently pursued a worthy effort to build a flexible apartment on the West Side. A $30 million offset produced only 44 apartments. Had the city quote that many $30 million to simply buy market new apartments, it could have helped the University many people. Adding a dose of Rosenwald's no-nonsense business accounts to our current efforts to execute good results would really help.

So happy behind 10 4th birthday, Julius Rosenwald. We must all learn from your good example.

Harold Pollack is the Helen Rose the best of all, even professor at the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice at the University of Chicago.

Advice for Democratic leaders

Regarding Clarence Page's insightful commentary on Democratic leadership, "The 1997" ("It's time for Democrats to widen the 'big tree'," Aug. 10), while I have never been a conspirant, it strikes me first the nationwide 2000s, and I have been a lot of candidates near actually by Republican Party places.

A Gallup Poll released last year found that 60% of Democrats had a political decision on the 1997. Yet, last year an NBC poll found that only 69% of America has viewed socialism positively.

Even if the GOP is not using Democratic socialist candidates as plants, reasonable building Detroit's 2000s, and the 1990s, the 1996s are place on the party. Unless they have lost interest in retaining the midwives, Democratic leadership needs to stop breaking off socialist candidates in the 2000s. (Dave T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T.

Media on democratic socialists

Why are the Tribune and the rest of the responsible news media burying the local in their coverage of the Wisconsin Democrat primary for governor? Democratic socialist Francoeur Hogg, who is a member of the 2000s, has been led the other moderate candidates for the nomination. About 61% of primary views split their views among a dose of moderate candidates. It's a deeply divided decision to where the news media are being held. The 2000s are one vote to be a landslide, there's no doubt there was a landslide against Hogg with the more moderate candidates collectively generating 60% of the votes.

It's interesting how even mainstream media outlets are understanding and overcoming the so-called democratic socialist candidates without the need to get an "normal" far-right radical, white supremacyist and possibly corrupt GOP candidates.

There's a frightening imbalance in how the mainstream media

People get during a campaign rally for Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francoeur Hogg on Aug. 2 to billboards (long a democratic socialist, but the Democratic nomination to moderate David Crowley. JOHNSLUFF/GETTY)

report on these candidates, which tends to take it pretty easy on the latter.

'Medicare for All' is a folly

Regarding the opinions expressed in support for "Medicare for All," particularly from the leftist democratic socialists, indeed the opposite will occur: Medicare for none.

For example, Australia utilizes a dual public-private universal system called Medicare, whereas the United States relies primarily on a multipaper private insurance system supplemented by public programs like Medicare (for seniors) and Medicaid (for low-income individuals).

U.S. citizens and those who are lawfully present in the United States are eligible to stand in the Affordable Care Act's marketplace for healthcare, including screening.

Australians, in a nation of 28 million people, face significant wait times for specialist appointments and specific diagnostic scans or elective surgeons, ranging from weeks to a year.

By contrast, with the U.S. Medicare system, established in 1965 to

protect seniors age 65 and older, requires times for appointments, tests and procedures are required, quick, with numerous clinical choices.

Expanding Medicare to all 342 million Americans would wrong demand for medical services. That's the way to go if you do not mind waiting a year to get an MRI or see a specialist.

The U.S. already faces a project of shortage of primary care physicians and specialists, which will worsen wait times for appointments, tests and treatments, compress doctor patient visit lengths, and create havoc on hospital capacity.

"Medicare for All" would take require major tax changes to replace the current system of employee sponsored and private premiums and Medicare. Advantage, which now allow for relatively quick access, the envy of the world.

— David N. Simon, Chicago

GOP's effect on national debt

Letter writer Larry Craig left out the policies of the two political parties in his letter published on Aug. 13 ("We just't ignore national debt").

The Republican Party has ignored the national debt every once Republican presidents have signed that that have cut tens on the wealth. President Ronald Trump has signed legislators increasing the debt during both of his administration. The national debt price by roughly 40% during his first term.

Thus is the Republican-momestic policy. President Ronald Reagan called it supply-side economics — and the benefits of this policy would trickle down. Republican-corrupted former Neopole and the wanted to see federal government reduced its costs to 40,000 (and) be devoted in a bathtub. Republican-as-центр are committed to make that the right.

The Democrats Party believes government should focus on the greater good for the country and its people. The last three from the 1990s, the 1996s, the 2000s, are not possible economic conditions and had to spend to ensure the country from soaring references, the housing crisis and the pandemic, respectively. They did not focus on tax cuts for those who didn't need them.

The Republican Party is focused on making sure the federal government is able to pay for the city's average it of revenue. The Democrats Party is focused on making sure the federal government addresses the needs of the country and its people as only the federal government can do.

RSV, flu vaccines needed

This week, the president issued an executive order for treating the country of vaccine recommended without any medical input or apparently any medical data. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently alert for its healthcare providers noted how more

children were hospitalized with influenza in the last season than in the last 16 years. It seems that "the cumulative hospitalization rate for influenza among children is 0.7 years of age" and the second highest for children since the 2009-2010 season and the highest for children 5-17 years.

Also, Institute on Disease Advisory on Aug. 10 reported: "Hospitalization rates related to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remain higher in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI-AN) children compared to 60% their peers in the general US population, according to study findings."

The RSV and influenza vaccines are two of the pediatric vaccines that the administration wants removed from the list of recommended dose. Knowing them from the list means that more than 100% of the population will need to pay for those two vaccines that are obviously still needed, are one of the data above. The flu and RSV are not always benign infections. Nearly 300 children died from influenza in the 2016-25 influenza season. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website itself estimates that before the introduction of RSV vaccine, 50,000 to 90,000 children younger than 5 years old were hospitalized with RSV.

In a more real 2 support is trying to support parent choice, the administration is also raising the choices parents should be able to make to protect their children. If a parent or guardian does not want to vaccinate their children, they can decline. Why take the choice to vaccinate once from the parents who want to provide these and other vaccines for their children? And why take the choice that these vaccines are not needed, when they obviously are?

'One organization and our candidates are certainly giving in humours that message home—that if you want to follow on their successes, you will be able to see what needed advice that is science-based, we need to have accountability in Washington,' she said.

Trump's profit in the number and cadence on vaccines offers back at least to 20% when he passed in social media the dangerous information on the health of the can cause action and said if he were provided he would spread them out.

Trump's views have been a significant leader. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist before he entered politics. The president—Robert Kennedy's diverse coalition of MARS addresses—whose giveaway might from regulating pesticides to ending vaccine members—is still helping him win back the White House in 2024.

Now, as the Trump administration has handed several more of the MARS coalition, including changing the federal dietary guidelines and loosening restrictions on peptides, issues in the movement have grown important as their other practice remains unfounded. In unclear whether Trump's action to loosen vaccine recommendations, an innocuous MARS supportant air production about, will be enough to show up those views about it the audience. — Polls show most American believe children should be vaccinated in almost school, though Republicans are less likely to use vaccines in important food as rising prices on things like groceries, gas and flexible air tightens Americans' budgets, many more the economy is top into their care about.

Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster, said without Americans viewing vaccines positively Trump's announcement they set strike me as the near-porous airy political message.

Recent polling from the healthcare research nonprofit KFP suggests that even among MARS supporters, only 87% rank members, at the vaccine safety in their top priority for the federal government. Higher-rank as prior items included showing health costs (62%) and noticing chemical additives in the food supply (22%).

Asked about the timing of the order with the multivore approaches, a White House official who insisted on uncertainty to build reporters said that the more we as long standing presidential protest and that other health issues that voters care about were still being addressed.

To that effect, on the day Trump signed the order, the Food and Drug Administration announced an effort to require more transparency from food manufacturers about new ingredients and additives in foods—something many in MARS had

been calling for. The administration has also tested its efforts to lower drug prices and cash federal health programs fraud, which state will not require money.

Hall, Democratic candidates, including doctors linked to Neighbours group 316 Action, seized on Trump's order as message to voters about it.

Dr. Richard Pan, a physician training at a Democrat for the U.S. House in Northampton, appealed the American Medical Association's condemnation of Trump's new biofeedback. He told The Associated Press he thinks voters are deciding between the drug people who choose not to hold the administration accountable and those who "stand for the science."

Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and Democrat training for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina, pleaded with voters not to take health information from Trump in a video panel on being again collaboration with the 80th hearing County Newsroom. 'So whatever you can to help this is certain up and down the hall in the November, including holding two to the U.S. Senate,' she said to the camera.

Chipotle Mexican Grill opens in Pullman Gateway complex

Launch completes lease-up of retail development that replaced parking lot, betting site

By Brian J. Regal CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Pullman community reached another economic milestone Thursday with the opening of a new Chipotle Mexican Grill at 11:21 S. Corliss Ave.

The launch of the Far Southeast Side's first Chipotle completes the lease-up of Pullman Gateway, a new 8-acre retail development new 100% occupied by four well-known restaurant chains. It replaced a parking lot and former off-track betting parlor

"This is a continuation of the renaissance of the entire area that we've been working on for the last 12 to 19 years," said Ald. Anthony Boals, 9th. "People in the community have long sought new dining options, both places to sit down and have a cup of coffee or a full meal."

Pullman Gateway customers can now choose between the new Chipotle, Jimmy John's, Dunton and Chick-fil-A-A CTA office supporting the Red Line Extension is also located in the center. Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives developed Pullman Gateway in partnership with the Hope Center Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Salem Baptist Church of Chicago.

The directory at Pullman Gateway, in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood, includes a sign for a Chipotle restaurant, which opened on Thursday.

The developers also announced Thursday plans for another community retail complex. Pullman Park Retail Center will be constructed on 11th Street just west of a retail corridor completed by Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives in 2037.

"We acquired the Pullman Gateway site about three years ago, and it's been

great to complete its holdout in a relatively short period of time," said David Doig, president of Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives. "There are about 500 jobs on that site, so we want to keep this momentum going. It's all a testament to the area's maturation and how people

Developer proposes replacing Ford City

Shattered mall site would become warehouses, distribution buildings

A developer has resurfaced a proposal to replace Ford City Mall with a collection of warehouses and distribution buildings and will present it at the Chicago Plan Commission's monthly meeting on Aug. 20, potentially bringing the new vacant indoor shopping center our step closer to demolition.

The proposal has shown opposition from many neighbors, who said they prefer now open that won't bring some track traffic to the site at 7:05 S. Custer Ave. in West Lawn.

"It's frustrating that the local community doesn't have a voice or a say in what could be a huge development that benefits the Southwest Side," said Aulish Cumeyan, president and his wife of the West Lawn Conservation Club.

Cumeyan said he said other community residents don't oppose replacing the old mall. But instead of a goal in industrial development, they prefer a long-term planning effort focused on attracting multifamily housing, updated retail, park and perhaps a transit hub with a new CTA Orange Line stop.

"This (warehouse) plan is just dropping the ball," Cumeyan said.

Developer Ruvy Industrial presented its proposal to demolish Ford City and construct four industrial buildings, totaling about 1 million square feet, to a community meeting held last summer by Ald. Derrick Curtis, 16th.

Curtis told attendees he wanted to see the struggling mall property redeveloped, and Ruvy was the only developer to imp forward.

But the plan appeared to be on hold this year while the property owner, city officials and the few remaining stores, including anchor tenant JCPenney, battled in court over how long the 61-year-old mall, plagued for years by high vacancy and deteriorating conditions, could stay open.

A Carol County judge eventually ordered Namdar Realty Group, which bought Ford City Mall for about $10 million in 2018, to shutter the main building for good on June 22.

The ruling ended Ford City's site decades ran as the Southwest Side's premier retail destination.

3-story Hoosier cabinet celebrates American kitchen icon

By John Raby and Obeil Lamy CHICAGO TRIBUNE

NAPHANEE, Ind. — Hoosier cabinets — the original all-in-one kitchen — were once a mainstay in early 20th-century American homes. Though they have long since fallen out of fashion, a giant, climbable replica has been unveiled outdoors in a northern Indiana town to celebrate the cabinet's place in kitchen history.

The 30-foot model of a Dutch Kitchenette opened to the public barren with as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of Copper Napunes, one of two companies still in existence that manufactured the popular Hoosier cabinets more than a century ago. The cabinet name was coined after its largest producer, that Hoosier Manufacturing Co.

Dubbed the world's largest Hoosier cabinet, the replica built against a brick, background is equipped with stain leading to a bolt that visitors to the town of Napunes can look out from. Its worksite Copper Commons, the site of the original Copper Napunes factory that has been converted to an indoor marketplace, artisan hub and museum. The company still produces custom cabinets next door.

Wesley Mast, owner and president of Copper Napunes, said he typically hears two types of responses where visitors first see the giant cabinet.

"There's the one extreme where people are like, 'What' Why such a big cabinet?" Mast said. "And my response is always like, 'Why not?'"

"The other response we get is like, 'That's second Where All you get' (the idea? I love it."

Mast said the cabinet "brings us another level of attention and branding and makes this place more of a domination than just a

pass-through."

The Hoosier cabinet is a freestanding kitchen workstation and storage area that centralized and sped up food preparation. The cabinets were popular from the 1890s through the 1930s but waned after World War II as built-in, wall-to-wall cabinetry became the norm in new home construction.

A century ago, "this was the kitchen," Mast said. "This was kind of the first piece of furniture that went into the house as kitchen and was considered all-in-one; the kitchen itself is just one piece."

There were 5,000 dealers of Hoosier cabinets across the country, said Mary Figueroa, curator of History at the Indiana State

Treasury curbing scrutiny of opaque shell companies

Sen. Warren calls move 'gift' to curtail, criminals, US enemies

By Alan Rapoport

THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to scale back scrutiny of the shadowy shell companies that criminals use to launder money and traffic, drug.

The intrusive follows a yearlong campaign by lobbying groups, which criminalities have financial reporting requirements were too onerous for businesses.

The Treasury Department said that Tuesday that it was permanently halting the collection of data about the ownership of private America companies that was required as part of the 2021 Corporate Transparency Act. The law, which passed with bipartisan support, was intended to prevent the illicit use of shell companies by going law enforcement access to information about their ownership structures.

'Treasury is eliminating a burden some reporting requirement for millions

of law abiding business owners without compromising on national security,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett wrote.

The law applied to a broad swath of private American businesses, however, there has been particular concern in the United States about shell companies. There are legal entities that do not usually have physical operations or assets and can be used for holding - and often hiding financial assets in anonymous accounts.

The announcement finalized a temporary halt to collection of the data about 'beneficial owners' that the Treasury Department put in place last year. Foreign companies are still required to report information about foreign owners to the department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FHC524.

The decision raised questions about whether the Trump administration was essentially declining to carry out a law passed by Congress. It also appeared to undercut President Donald Trump's public's stated ambitions dictating down on financial crime, money laundering and drug trafficking.

'This is a gift to curtail, criminals and

US adversaries that exploit shell companies to move millions through our financial system,' said Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee. 'The Trump administration has dismissed law enforcement warnings, ignored the risk that shell companies play to cut new campaigns from drug trafficking to fraud to sanctions evasion.'

The legislation was enacted in 2021 as part of a military spending bill. The leading is the bill, co-sponsored by Marco Rabin, then a GDP senator from Florida, was so strong that lawmakers exercise a provision that when Trump's first term.

As the time, Rabin, who is now Trump's secretary of state, called the legislation the 'most significant anti-corruption and money laundering law is decades.'

Also Zendes, founder of the risk advisory firm Capitol Peak Strategies and a former official in the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said the law has been by the department to create exemptions for small businesses. 'This is an example of throwing the baby out with the both water,' Zendes said.

'Sitting on all this money'

With rise in time equity, many American refinance mortgage to pay down credit card debt

By Gregory Schmidt

THE NEW YORK TIMES

When Linda Boroski bought her there-ever, figures show home, with a wrap-around re-evaluate Bellevue, Ohio, in 2023, she made sure it felt her budget.

'My mom taught me,' 'We like to cross our vs. dot our in, and we pay our bills on time,' said Boroski, 45, a retired school teacher. In that case concerned when she ran up $24,000 in credit card bills to pay her travel for medical treatment. It meant putting off renovations for her drafty house and renting her family loss.

'I was so obliged to do month,' she said. 'When Boroski got another from Rockin, even trippie broke, for a home-equity loan, she took our $45,000, paid off bills and bought windows. And she still has a little left over for a trip to see her granddaughter.'

American continue to spend fourth, keeping the economy harassing, even as they amass more credit card debt. But like Boroski, many homeowners have built up

a root up to help pay for their liberties. $19.0 billion in home equity, covered high. 'People are sitting on all this money,' said Dan Eri Berwacher, the chief economist of Buffalo, a real estate brokering firm. 'So they pull some of that equity out-of-fact home to pay off their credit card debt.'

Household debt increased 3% in the first quarter of 2026, to $18.9 trillion, from a year earlier, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, using data not adjusted for inflation. Mortgages made up the biggest chunk of that total, but credit card balances climbed 6% to $1.25 million from the year before. In the same three months, homeowners withdrew an estimated $47 billion in equity, up 2% from the same period in 2025, according to a report from the Intercontinental Exchange, a financial services company devoted mortgage estimated to $25 billion, a 1% increase from a year earlier, but refinancing mortgages to take cash out jumped 16% a year over year to $21 billion. The accumulated of making wealth is partly overall of a more broad property market.

During home prices and being mortgage rates have made buying a home less attainable. Homeowners who secured mortgage rates at low as 3% just a few years ago are

reluctant to put their homes on the market. They have built up an average of $100,000 in home equity, according to a recent report by ConAhn, a housing market data provider.

'That equity provides an important financial cushion as everyday costs continue to rise,' Johns Hopp, ConAhn's chief economist, wrote in the report.

That wealth comes with a caveat. Because it could go to their home, owners have to refinance their mortgage to take advantage of it. Still a home loan at 0.69% - the average rate for a 10-year, fixed rate mortgage, according to the mortgage finance Paddler Mac - is a better option than credit card debt with an answer one to the double digits, financial expertise.

'We help really relax about their credit card and being 25%,' said Alex Elton, the chief strategy officer at Federal Wholesale Exchange, a mortgage lender who works exclusively with independent brokers. 'They are getting insurance premium, and they talk the can down the road.'

But at more American can check homes as emergency deals found, Fairweather warned that the activity could put them at risk if the economy tumbles. 'They might... have to sell their home because they carry pay that offhand out mortgage,' she said.

Trump firm sued over bid to sell access to posts

By Bernard Cundari

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - President Donald Trump was sued in federal court Wednesday to sell access to the mailing money off a new paid service at his Truth Social company offering with no funds to access to his posts on U.S. policy.

The lawyer alleges the service offering paying customers sneak posts of his posts about U.S. policy on war, traffic and other issues violates the Unamortization and the official announcement should be made available to everyone at the same time. The new subscription service that rolled out the month is changing 50,000 new firms as much as $100,000 a month to trade off

the market moving posts before others. 'A president selling priority access to service he himself gave notes for the benefit of a private company he controls is so friendly to accept and no entitlements that the company will be able to sell the same. The company is a few years ago,' said Seth Bore, chief of allways at the Purchase of the Price Foundation, a plaintiff in the case along with news staff. The Intercept.

Truth Social's parent company, Trump McBride Technology, said calling for access to visitors to common in its industry, and said the plaintiff are just trying to silence the president. 'Information from President Trump is disseminated by countless platforms and news outlets, many of which offer subscription, 82%,' it said, referring to

the truth being sued. 'Now, left wing activities are trying to wrongfully weapon the courts to create him again and have not been held."

The cash access service, called Truth Social, was a $100,000 of trade off a page Media base hundreds of millions of dollars each quarter and its stock has dropped below $10 from $12 shortly after going public two years ago.

The plaintiff alleges the service violates two points of the Constitution - the First Amendment right to access a president's comments on equal terms with other members of the press and public, and the Fifth Amendment prohibition on charging unreasonable conditions for government benefits.

Data shows US wholesale prices rise at slower rate

By Christopher Bugaler

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Wholesale inflation slowed last month as gap prices reversed some of their Iran war spills and other costs also cooled, a sign that consumer inflation could grind lower in the months ahead.

The Labor Market has a significant price index - which captures inflation before it reaches consumers - rose 4.7% in July from a year ago, down from a much larger 3.5% increase in June. On a monthly basis, wholesale prices were unchanged from June to July, after they to lead down 21% the premium month.

The figures follows the government's consumer price inflation report, released on Wednesday, which has been a number cooling last month. Still, consumer prices have risen later than a year for the past four months, and recurring the challenges many Americans have affecting securities such as rent and utilities.

Excluding volatile food and energy categories, over wholesale inflation fell to 4.2% in July compared with a year earlier, down from 4.7% in June. On a monthly basis, a net price rose 0.2%, down from 0.6% from May to June.

After falling in early July, gas prices then rose later that month and in early August, threatening it push inflation back up when largest figures are now down.

'The soft (produce of export) reading for July points to reduced inflationary pressure for businesses in coming months,' said Ron Ayen, senior economist at Nationwide. 'While the increased rise in fuel costs is concerning, export costs forced during very cooling,' Last month's cooling price Federal Reserve officials more forward to avoid a rate hike when it meets next in September.

MORTGAGE RATES FALL SLIGHTLY FOLLOWING WEEK OF WKSB

The average long-term US mortgage rate fell slightly for the first time in six weeks. Thousands, reaching a glimpse of relief for prospective homeowners - had borrowing costs remain longer than a year ago.

The benchmark 10-year fiscal rate mortgage rate total fell to 6.4%, mortgage buyer Paddle Mac and Thursday down from 6.6% reported last week. Still, by comparison, the average rate was 5.8% at this time in 2025.

Higher mortgage rates can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting bond-howers' purchasing power. And that can led prospective home shoppers to delay buying, as seen while rates rise over prior weeks. US sales of previously occupied homes again slowed in July.

Board re-turns Kennedy Center clash

Adding Trump name to wall, closing venue for 2 years endorsed

By Steven Sloan ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The battle over the Kennedy Center's future accidental Thursday at President Donald Trump's allies on the board took new steps to commemorate here with physical dangers; the counter-earliering arts institution that could defy a federal war order.

During an hour-long meeting that was conducted virtually, the board voted to add Trump's name to the building's facade, six would read "The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald Trump." The place in front of the building would be named after Trump and none of the space at the venue would be closed for two years to allow for substantial reservations.

The changes, described by Rep. Steve Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who is in an office board member, and the former, amount of dramatic cut of U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. He died in May that letters offered to the building and spelled out Trump's name were added illegally and he ordered their removal of decision that the Republican administration failed to persuade courts to overturn. At the same time, Cooper blocked a two-year closure that was set to take effect. He is using an order for hard-knob authorizing the shattering war—$5! a devoid and some high-provoking!

"This latest develop-

ment is a transparent effort to circumvent the Court's ruling, and flees in the face of the stratum that Congress passed," Beatty realizes state senate. "I will continue to fight for this treasured national monument."

A representative of the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Much of Thursday's board meeting was expected to focus on the extent of closures required to allow for reservation that the Kennedy Center's management and are needed to improve safety. In response to the judge's criticism of the earlier view, the institution's leaders said they would provide the board with three options to

consider.

They included a complete closure or a partial closure that would allow "some continued public access and limited programming to space unaffected" by the work. A third option would consider a highly limited series of phased closures to address only the Center's most serious infrastructure and needs while scheduling and maintaining a full-time of programming.

Ultimately, the board decided to close the building for two years while leaving the potential for some degree of programming to still happen in an outdoor space known as the Beach. The decision to move ahead with the two-year closure,

in addition to the move to memorialize Trump, could revive questions about whether the board seriously considered the full range of options, a point Democrats emphasized after the meeting.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who is also one of the co-board founders, criticized a "sham meeting."

"What happened today was nothing more than a yellow stamp on a decision the President made months ago that the Board also agreed to effectuate without doing proper due diligence," he realizes a statement.

During Trump's second term, the Kennedy Center had become an unlikely - and highly-visible - metaphor of

prostatistical power. While he largely ignored the institute, it is an argument that the board is in the hands of the public. "What happened today was nothing more than a yellow stamp on a decision the President made months ago that the Board also agreed to effectuate without doing proper due diligence," he realizes a statement.

Wing of the White House and a building a commons and ballroom in its place, though an appeals court ruled that work that continues should stop because Congress didn't approve the power. Trump has said he will take the care to the Supreme Court.

He moved off the Lincoln Building and the building level has also extended after signs returned and U.S. Attorney Joanne Pirro refused his claims that a verbal re-encounterment be the damage.

Meanwhile, Trump is claiming extensive re-turns of a golf course in East Potomac Park, which could significantly reduce the public's access to running ground. "I'm not going to be moving forward with a triumphant arch that will no more Arlington National Cemetery."

Trump has decided the Kennedy Center is "not so retired, and rat and bug infested" and threatened to hand the building over to Congress after Cooper rejected the claims and the addition of the president's name to the building.

Matt Elcox, the Kennedy Center's executive director and chief operating officer, picked a group of court-ops through the building in April, highlighting severe water damage that he said considered in a sumptuous time at some paper. Some pieces of equipment, including several 800-ton children that help cost the building, are decades old and in need of replacement.

At the time, Elcox said he considered doing the repairs individually but instead it was his recommendation to Trump to close the building and move forward with the renovation all at once.

US refers to Israeli settlers behind siege as 'terrorists'

Huckabee's view of Palestinians' plight seen as rare rebuke

By Sam Metz and Joel Tufkin ASSOCIATED PRESS

QUERK, West Bank — Far five nights, Israeli settlers surrounded three Palestinian farmers in the mid-1970s of a town in the occupied West Bank, preventing the famine from leaving under in their food and water supplies dreadful.

Quar, No. 6,612, was the 2nd up inside with his teenage son who's settlers cut the water and electricity, leaving them to drink well water as dozens of Israeli settlers erected more outside. His Palestinian American brother in Ohio, or he even the house, reached the siege called to security cameras and called for updates.

The news of the flu on the eve West Bank town of Quara is the latest in a view of settler violence outweighing the terry, which Israel earned in the 1967 Middear war and which would make up the main part of a future Palestinian state.

On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee referred to the settler as "terrorist" — United American officials usually reserve for Palestinian citizens. It was an unusually sharp rebuke from the alternative to President Donald Trump, who has given unprecedented support to Israeli settlement over the years.

Measuring criticism of Israel from the United States could pose a challenge for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is trying to maintain good relations with his country's closest ally in the mid-1970s, with an immediate vision ahead of a tough battle for reduction in October.

On Sunday, dozens of settlers arrived in the homes of Quara. No. 6,612, there is a preventing occupants from leaving, according to the families.

Israeli troops have intervened "multiple times, but the settlers keep returning, said Sam Rich, the homeowner in Ohio who spelt the family name differently. Right, a group have long accused Israeli forces of turning a blind eye to settler violence or of intervening to protect

the settlers.

"It's a cycle," Rich said. "They need to be prevented from the entire area, not just removed and moved 200 feet away as when the (Israeli military) looms, they come back."

On Tuesday, Israeli military condemned the siege as "illegal, reprehensible, and unacceptable," and declared Quara a closed military zone. The next day, dozens of settlers returned, tried to find the road with rocks and clashed with Israeli soldiers, according to video taken by village residents.

On Thursday, the military said troops disbanded "two illegal outposts" as Quara and a nearby village, and detained one Israeli. It said more soldiers were sent to "carry out defensive missions and patrols."

Quara, Mayor Abdel Azim, Wah said Israeli forces overcured more than a dozen homes to take up positions in the village. The settlers, though removed from their outposts, remain in other parts of the village. In mid-

of the settlements, which most of the international community views as illegal and an obstacle to peace. At the start of his second term, he lifted questions imposed by the federal administration on settlers accused of violence.

Mangione expected to plead guilty to stalking charges in federal court

By Benjamin Weiner, David Barrett and Harabie Mako THE NEW YORK TIMES

NEW YORK — Legal Mangione is expected to plead guilty Friday in federal court in Manhattan, where he faces stalking charges resulting in the death of a health insurance executive in 2024, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The news comes less than a month before Mangione, the is scheduled to go central in a

separate murder case in New York state court in the death of the executive, Brian Thompson. The two people spoke on the condition of an anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the ongoing talks, which could fall apart before or even during a scheduled hearing in federal court Friday.

From the moment Mangione was charged by state and federal prosecutors, his legal team has argued that being tried in both jurisdictionless violators for rights. The state's aid is scheduled for start next month. A second trial, in federal court, would begin in January. Legal experts have said the timing of a potential guilty plea on the federal case would be crucial to Mangione's legal strategy.

according to legal experts. In his federal case, Mangione faces two stalking charges resulting in death, which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. A judge dismissed two other charges, including one that carried a potential death penalty if Mangione was convicted.

In state court, Mangione is charged with several courts, including, second, a jury murder, which could lead to a possible sentence of 25 years to life.

If he does plead guilty in federal court, his lawmakers expected to argue that under these "bottle dander" people law, state prosecutors may not try him for murder because the state's dangerous fronts the same criminal act in the federal case.

However, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Briggs could counter that the state murder case addresses a different harm than the federal stalking case and that it should be under his allowed to proceed to trial.

Vaccines in Trump team's crosshairs

Order calls for shots in high-risk cases or decisions with doctor

By Maggie Astor, President and Teddy Rosenbluth, "Not only is the Tिकी

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday calling for narrowing government recommendations for vaccination against several diseases that call a serious or even deadly

The executive order was the administrative's latest attempt to change the country's childhood vaccine schedule. In January, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tried to make the same changes, but a court blocked them, and legal proceedings are ongoing.

It is not clear whether the new executive order has any legal power. It suggests that vaccination against such diseases as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningitis and respiratory disease, and other only be recommended for "high-risk" children or adults. A framework called shared clinical decisions making, which involves consultation with a medical provider. It also calls for the combined measles, mumps and rabella vaccines for sight.

Measles organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, continue to broadly recommend all of these shots, including the combined MMR vaccine for does the CDC, whose proposed changes to the vaccine schedule are in limbo as the high battlegrounds. The vaccines all remain available and covered by insurance.

The CDC's schedule was developed over decades, under presidential administration of both parties. No panel of experts who examined evidence, determined that the vaccine "benefits outweighed any risks and recommended the timing of such that based on which children's immune systems

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and adviser Verdi Gvettson in Aug. 1930; the Chair Office. ANNA WORFMAN/EDUGETTI

could best benefit.

Here's a look at some of the vaccines Trump is targeting and the diseases they prevent.

HEPATITIS A

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious virus that can in rare cases - cause liver failure and death. The virus lives in the stool and blood of infected people and often spreads through contaminated food or close contact.

Between this vaccine introduction in 1994 and 2011, the number of cases in the United States decreased by more than 95%.

The AAP and the current CDC schedule recommend two doses of the vaccine for all children. The vaccine order suggests it should be given only to "high-risk groups" or based on "shared immunodeficiency testing".

Before it was routinely given, children given of major role in spreading hepatitis A. Most children with become infected experience no symptoms and can shed it

in their lives for months.

HEPATITIS B

Hepatitis B is another highly contagious virus that can lead to lifelong liver disease or injury. The disease can spread through sex or shared needles, but also through contact with household objects and from another to child during birth. It can be up to 100 times as infectious as 1970.

Enterobias (aberrates) the CDC began widely recommending the vaccine for all newborns in 1991. Acute infections reported among children and teens dropped by 99% between 1990 and 2019.

AAP and the CDC recommend hepatitis B vaccine to those of children, with the first dose being administered right after birth. But the executive order recommends it only for high-risk groups or under shared decision-making. The administrative also previously tried to defer the birth dose.

MELALEX, MUMPS AND BURELLA

For years, a single shot has protected children against measles, mumps and rabella, or MMR.

Measles is an extremely hardy contagious virus that can cause pneumonia, liver, and other diseases. The vaccine immunity to other illnesses. It was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 but has created back, with more concern, the past two years than in the previous 14 years.

Mumps affects the salivary glands, causing puffy cheeks and a swollen jaw. In cases cases it can cause swelling, the brain, pancreas, testicles or ureter, and lead to long-term bleeding loss.

Rabella is usually mild for patients themselves and can cause stomachache and can pregnant woman is infected. Trump's order calls for three separate shots: While those exist in some countries, the vaccine is adapted in the United States. Even if

they were, experts can split long-lines across as medical purposes and would likely lead to more unvaccinated children because of the burden of making these appointments. And they exist that the combined MMR shot is safe. In rare cases, children who are treated with induced seizures, which can be frightening for parents but don't cause lasting harm.

The AAP continues to attempt recommend two doses of the combined shot, the CDC also still recommends both doses of the combined shot.

MENINGITIS

Vaccines protect against five groups of humans that can cause meningitis, potentially fatal influenza, loss of membranes around the brain and spinal cord. Third information causes fever, neck stiffness, head aches, vomiting and cognitive changes. With prompt treatment, many people recover, regardless of their

vaccination status. But about two people with bacterial meningitis die from it, while 1st-2 survivors have serious complications like long-term hearing loss, muscle weakness, speech difficulties or memory problems, according to the World Health Organization and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

The AAP and the CDC recommend that all children receive a combination vaccine against the A, C, W and W, and that the vaccine will have to be more than 50% doses. The first of the 12 years old and the second of age in Trump wants these doses to be more than 50% of the clinical decision-making or for "high-risk groups," which could include people with HIV and first-year college proceedings. The first time is, because the infection spreads easily as community spaces.

A separate vaccine protects against the 8 groups, but it has long been recommended both for children and for those who lack functioning spleen or who live in a place with an outbreak.

RESPIRATORY

SYNCYTIAL VIRUS

BEV is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the United States, sending up to 1,000 children to the hospital. It is the hospital every year. The virus is more likely to cause serious complications in children with compromised immune systems or chronic lung disease. However, healthy laboratory also develop a severe case.

Early infections have also been linked to long-term complications, including asthma.

The AAP and CDC say that if a mother was vaccinated during pregnancy, her infant may not need a dose of birth, but recommend immunodeficiency tests. It is the best to understand mothers during the respiratory virus season. Trump's order recommends both for "high-risk groups," which it doesn't define.

Russia has long been accused of targeting its enemies abroad, including by using raw poisons. But itself ignores officials previously told The Associated Press that Russia's security services are now more human in their choice of targets, going after Russian systems and foreign supporters of Ukraine as well as military defenders.

"We must assume that the Putin regime will try to eliminate people who are incorrect or various reasons, to restore place around the world," Task said Thursday. He said that Poland and others must be prepared to counter such actions.

Bread added to library book shelves

Free grocery stores helping tackle food insecurity, high costs

By Audra D. S. Burch THE NEW YORK TIMES

Britainie Brooks walked into a library in Prince George's County, Maryland, blowing past the shelves of books, a printing station and a computer lab like dentistism was a study room, now converted into a no-cost grocery store where control on food incomes, laid-off federal workers and others in need can drop.

Brooks surveyed the selection: rows of cereal, crackers and pancake mix stacked on the shelves, pizza and chicken in the freezer, and baskets of apples and orange, onions and bell peppers. Thereby mentally calculated what she would need to do at her five children for the week, settling on pasta, rice and chicken — staples she could stretch. It was all five.

She was among the first customers at the Fairmount Fire Market, which opened in May at the back of the Fairmount Heights Branch Library St. June, a second free grocery store, District 7. Fresh Market, opened a few miles away at the Spaulding Branch Library.

“I was getting low on food,” said Brooks, 14, who lives in Capitol Heights, Maryland, bordering Washington. She had been looking for a job for her children. She and her children receive government food assistance, and “everything costs so much,” she said. “She’s help is a relief.”

The two locations are among a growing number of free grocery stores that have opened across the country in recent years to help address food insecurity and mid-heroin high grocery prices.

Generally, the foods offered at free grocery stores are supplied by companies that collect and redistribute surplus foods from small or small stores. Consumers from traditional supermarkets

lens, food manufacturers and farms. Some stores already on funding from a mix of private donations, grants and corporate sponsorships to make large food prices have.

Unlike at some food parities, customers dropping at free grocery stores are able to choose their own foods, often in private, instead of standing unless for whatever is available on a given list.

Many families are facing difficult trade-offs between food and other necessities or being forced to change their buying habits to stay within budget. Overall, the price of food has increased about $15.5 from May 2021 to May 2026. In Prince George's, free grocery stores are another way to help those people still reeling from the Trump administration's main length of federal employees last year. In Maryland alone, one million 2/3000 federal workers lost their jobs between January

2025 and April 2026.

In addition, more than 20,000 people in the state have just Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits — the government's main tool to address hunger — because of stricter eligibility requirements adopted by the Trump administration.

“Noelares or many people who have worked their entire lives in the federal government, and those all of a sudden, far-right public from under them,” said Shayla Adams Stafford, a Prince George's County Council member who helped bring the store to the community. “The impact of what happened on the federal level is very real in this region.”

Shay Leach, a mother of five in Westerville, Maryland, lost her job as a federal contractor last year. She moved in with a relative to cut costs. Leach, 14, visited

the Fairmount store for the first time to have stocking up on milk, age, lunch meal, cereal, ground-faced peppers. “I finally found a new job — I am not on the streets, but I still have debt,” she said. “I have had a really hard time. This food is a big help.”

The concept of free grocery stores — often open and a partner days between local governments, nonprofit and hunger relief companies — is not new, but more have opened as the cost of basic living has skyrocketed since the pandemic. They exist in high schools, churches, senior centers and at least one hospital. This year, Savannah State University in Georgia teamed up the Goods and Amazon to open a free minimum on campus. And in July, a former traditional food pastry as Newark, New Jersey, reopened at a free choice-based market.

In Maryland, the Fairmount and Spaulding locations are among the few that have opened in neighborhood libraries and are part of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System.

Libraries “are sometimes manufactured as a community resource built,” said Brenda Douglas, chair of the Prince George's County Council, who led the efforts to open the store under Spaulding library. “But in some ways, it’s the place that makes the most sense.”

Stradle said the county was studying the cost of operating a grocery store that would offer food at more affordable prices, similar to the city-owned stores that New York Metro School, Mandate's planning.

The free grocery stores take their inspiration from traditional markets, with bright lights and aisles. Unlike at some food parities,

there are ways to hope funded size and costing have limited customers fill their hope with foods that they select during private appointments.

Jackson Grove Houston, the founder and CEO of Goods, which worked with Prince George's County to open the Fairmount market, said the free stores were not just about shopping, but giving the customer a “dignified experience.” The Atlanta-based certified B corporation partners with higher education institutions, sports organizations, hospitality companies, government agencies and others to recover surplus foods.

The Fairmount store is funded by a $100,000 a month grant that allows it to serve about 250 families a month for one year. Another 121 families are on a waiting list. Post-government grants led do not have to meet income requirements.

Thousands flee long Somali drought

Displacement grows as hunger deepens, relief funds shrink

By Mohamed Sheikh Nur and Grace Yousa ASSOCIATED PRESS

SULTIMA, Somalia — After nearly two weeks on the road with her five children, Lord Mohamed finally arrived in the southwestern female city of Baidoa with no food and little sense of what would happen next.

Drought conditions had forced Mohamed and her family to leave Stadiores, a town in the Middle Jubba region more than 100 miles away. They moved from village to village before arriving in Baidoa, now a major hub for people floating drought, insecurity and food shortages, on Aug. 3.

“We are very hungry and in a desperate situation,” Mohamed said. “We have nothing to eat and can only place our hope in God, as life is the one who not miss or through the road and the culminate in our trip.”

The family's journey is one example of a deepening humanitarian emergency in Somalia, where years of drought, conflict and extreme pressure are pushing more families from rural communities into displace. The camps in hunger ring and humanitarian funding shrink.

About 2 million people are facing emergency levels of food insecurity, more than double the number of people in the community in Flan International, which has provided assistance to more than 200,000 people in Somalia. One year, the family has been a member of the Somalia's Disaster Management Agency (see a Blog), a increased international assistance, with concerns that the community is responsible by another climate shock later this year.

The UPL Food and Agriculture Organization has projected a greater than

90% probability of El Ndo conditions developing from mid-2020 and intensifying during Somalia's October, to November rainy season, bringing the severe risk of flooding.

Somalia is highly vulnerable to extreme weather and has experienced repeated cycles of prolonged drought followed by destructive flooding. The shocks have eroded livelihoods, displaced communities, contributed to disease outbreaks and worsened food insecurity.

In Baidoa, hundreds of thousands of people floating prolonged droughts have been eroded in sprawling displacement settlements on the outskirts of the city.

One of the people Ndoha Adam, fled her settlement in Awdinite in the Bay region after four consecutive years of drought destroyed crops and killed livestock. She eventually moved to Baidoa

with her two older daughters and now lives in a displacement camp.

Adam would like to return home, but she said continuing drought and failed harvests, there have left families with little prospect of rebuilding their lives. “The drought we are experiencing has stretched for four consecutive years, and this year, most crops have again been destroyed,” Adam said. “Farms we were only able to harvest enough to sow their fields for the next season, leaving our future bleak. Here in these camps, we lack food and essential support. We have no food, water or money, and we sit off.”

According to Flan International, the city is heating about 2 million people, nearly half of them displaced. It says one in five families lacks reliable access to water, among the most immediate challenges facing displaced

families. They are increasingly forced to buy truck or water at steep prices that many simply cannot afford. Berea Ghelani, the global CEO of Flan International, visited Baidoa last week, meeting a new hospital of families and raising a malnutrition ward in the Bay region.

Ghelani said many of the families she met had tried to remain in their communities through increased years of drought. Later, she was when their resources were exhausted.

Many fled “after waiting and waiting year after year of drought and just starting,” Ghelani said. “And now they up there's nothing left. They have no water. They have no steaks. The3 members and 3. There is shovelfs nothing left anymore.”

She said rising prices are placing additional pressure on families already struggling to find enough food.

Data released in May by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a global hunger monitoring system, showed that about half of children under 5 in Somalia were facing acute malnutrition.

Flan International, citing the Flan Children, said the number of children receiving treatment for the most dangerous form of malnutrition in Baidoa had nearly 20 million are months.

Dr. Omar Abdikaria, a nutritionist in Baidoa, said patients are arriving for treatment from this Bay as well as the neighborhood in Baidoa and Gede regions.

“Malnutrition is prevalent in the region, and the majority of patients treated at the hospital after the COVID-19 is inherent,” Abdikaria said.

The health risks continue beyond malnutrition. Ghelani said there is scattered fall in areas affected by outbreaks of

diphtheria, measles, malaria, cholera and acute diarrhea.

The prospect of hears-a-rapid later this year presents a new threat to communities facing multiple crises: intense rainfall and flooding could wash away homes and farmland, contaminate drinking water and force families to move again. Aid agencies were that the expected 82 MOs conditions will compound the crisis for countless families before they've had time to recover from drought conditions.

For families arriving in Baidoa such as Mohamed's, the most urgent question is where to find clean water and feed. Mohamed and her husband had left for farms on the outskirts of the city, in the first few weeks, and was for their children to eat. A day after arriving in the city, she was still waiting to find out whether her husband would return with good news.

Judge tosses DOJ suit against Harvard over safety of Jewish pupils

FROM NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — federal judge in Boston on Thursday dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit that accused Harvard University of turning a bond over to harassment of Jewish students.

The decision from U.S. District Attorney Richard G. Stearns and President Donald Trump's attorney has failed to prove an ongoing violation of federal civil rights laws. The judge said the lawsuit, filed in March, mostly focuses on incidents that took place in the 2025-24 academic year, with a few from March 2025.

The cases were "two isolated and episodic" to prove punishment in higher violations at the Jet League campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Boston and

"We disagree with the law that the lawsuits have been stops," said Harvard School assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice. Harvard did not immediately provide a comment on the decision.

The lawsuit accused Harvard of failing to protect Jewish students during the 2025-24 academic year, which rolled the campus after House No. 7, 2025, attacks on Israel. The Trump administration agreed Harvard with the 2025-24 college law, which students were "harassed, pleased and complied, without and upon upon."

In a statement after the lawsuit was filed, Harvard said it "came deeply about the lawsuits." The Jewish and Israeli community and remains committed to ensuring they are united, and respected, and can inform a new campus.

Harvard President Alan M. Garber says the university formed a task force to combat nationalization. The university also takes a new position and deans and redevs the data

plus policies to make them more consistent, but said effective "Garber has said."

The government's case sought to recover billions of dollars in federal research grants awarded to Harvard and a number of other officials argued they had a right to recoup the money under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law barring discrimination based on race or national origin.

The lawsuit is among several actions the government has taken against. However, in the Jet League, university refused a list of demands made by the White House after Trump's Republican, returned to office last year. Trump officials have separately sought to cast Harvard's research funds and limit its ability to enroll foreign students and US military members.

In a separate legal case last year, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reverse more than 20 billions in federal funding, upon to Harvard. That decision found that the White House put unconstitutional conditions on federal funds, using anti-nationism as a "predecessor for腐蚀ing" ideologically-motivated assault" on universities.

Despite their dispute, Harvard and the Trump administration have held talks, and Trump said the two sides had been close to reaching an agreement. But when the Justice Department filed this civil rights lawsuit in March, it pointed to an extraordinary impasse.

Pillar of environmental enforcement targeted

Pending cases could challenge folks' right to use government

By Michael Pridie, ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Right-buying legal activities along with Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company have brought sweeping that the health system is a source of legal enforcement in the United States, the right of private groups, people and local governments to use over solutions of many major laws.

The air is a good way supported by the Trump administration, in that the information is not a tremendous power for the president and federal agencies to decide how — or whether at all — to enforce federal law. They contend Congress should never have health (that power to others through citizens make that any part of environmental campaign financed certain other law).

The administration are in would-be devastating to low-fine essential, durable and tool that is used to impose fines and halt lawbreaking by bad actors. Citizens suits, for example, have restricted millions from health pollinating aid and gas operations, and entered that bad injury. Many citizens have been rationsed after in water crisis.

Legal experts say four pending federal cases — one of them filed last week — are moving forward at a time when the conservative government has been sued. Court gives opponents a vision more to protect them than ever of success. The budget for those opponents is not a matter of law. The cases and creating disagreement between the country's appeals courts, which may help convince the Supreme Court that these are important enough for a nationwide ruling.

In 2005, a Supreme Court options opened the door for that possibility.

Supporters of the Clean Water Act demonstrate at the Supreme Court in Washington. JACQUELYN MARTIN/AP 2022

"Many of us who worked in this area have been trying basically 26 years for this dose to drop," said Richard Lazarus, a Harvard professor with decades of experience in environmental law.

Lazarus was referring to former moderate Justice Anthony Kennedy's comments in a Clean Water Act case that critical suits raised "difficult and fundamental" questions about whether they improperly dilate executive power. The late conservative Justice Antonio Scalia, wrote in a dissenting opinion that the same case that citizens suits men "over to protect them" is the function of enforcing the law. He avoided explicitly saying they were constitutional.

"The court is more like Scalia's court since he died than it ever was when he was there," Lazarus said.

He observed that those who lost cases where Scalia dissented are rushing back to today's court buying for a more favorable result.

The critical issue for citizens suits is who — the government or private citizens — collects fines and has control. A person filing a citizen suit must tell the government ahead of time. The government can stop the suit if it sufficiently pursues the case itself but its options are limited, and the person using outright involved. Citizens must can force complicity with the law and result in fines, which go to the U.S. Treasury.

Efforts to increase production power and help with claims have grown in recent years. They gained vital federal support this summer.

That's when the Pacific Legal Foundation, a right-buying legal system with recent Supreme Court success, faces a routine citizen suit in Tennessee federal court for a broader constitutional challenge.

They signed on an attorney for Springfield, a town of roughly 10,000 north of Nashville, that was in the early stages of fighting

allegations brought by Tennessee Riverbaugh that had left too much swings for them to reimburse grantors a nearby creek, violating the Clean Water Act.

It was the first citizen suit Tennessee Riverbaugh had filed under the Clean Water Act since 2005. Pacific Legal argued this was part of the problem — to prevent power of unselected activities that reportedly forced others to expend resources defending themselves.

It's better when "the government is the one working the power because the government remains accountable to the people," said Jean Rademski, a Pacific Legal Foundation attorney at the law.

Rademski isn't targeting, even lawsuit a person can bring under federal law — he takes exception to "those who are likely to be the Treasury and where he uses people are improperly taking on the government's powers. Civil rights lawsuits, for example, where

detaques are paid directly to those wronged, wouldn't be touched. Nor would many presidents challenge.

Mask-led, aAI argued many similar points in the ongoing bid to rid itself of the NAACP's lawsuit according to it operating dozens of gas turbines near Memphis to power a day, except with the first coming portion. The civil rights group told a Mississippi federal court that the turbines are a policy that threat to those who lived nearby, many of whom are Black. But of their demands were to halt the gas turbines until the company complied with the law.

The Trump administration interviews did not support Mask's company, arguing that turning off the power to artificial intelligence that supports the Defense Department would harm the security because the Trump administration wants the not-dominant to the NAACP shouldn't be allowed to proceed with it — prudent enforcement

requires balancing interests, including national security, the DOJ bill.

Later, Thomas director of enforcement at Earthjustice, which is representing the NAACP and the government's nationwide gun arm that is under a million the law, not to argue that it doesn't matter if the law is broken.

"This administration has determined that the company students allowed to continue to policies and that therefore, they should have the unilateral and uneventable authority to vote our citizens suit," she said.

Citizens suits were written into four fundamental environmental laws because Congress understand that the federal government had limited resources to go after policies and that the politics of some cases could be deary — the government sometimes is the polluter. That's why outside groups are necessary to protect the state's purpose, according to Lazarus.

Some agree that it means is especially important now. The Trump administration has done more and more protections and promoted bond deals. They've also constrained enforcement that could slow energy protection only the most extreme cases, such as an "immigrant and substantial threat to human health," according to a federal guidance memo. The government's law also does not make any vital for filling the enforcement gap this administration created.

Lazarus budgets in many states make the problem worse.

Thomas said the potential for corruption could increase me — the president could unilaterally waive laws to health friends.

She said that those who live in states with strong protections may be free of citizens suits and, but other areas of the Pacific concern is that the law is not a system to fight pollution in those 'suckered,' and this unprotected are more often poor and majority-minority communities.

Fire, brouhaha no win

Series loss sends Sox staggering into Detroit for showdown

After a 3-3 home-stated that featured Ossie Gullotta number retirement ceremony and a pays-hit giveaway, the Chicago White Sox headed out for their biggest trip in five years following Thursday's 9-8 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

A three-game showdown in Detroit begins Friday, followed by Round 2 of the City Series against

the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

It's a significant test for a young box team thrust into a postman race and comes at a time when the rotation is in flux and key players such as Colson Montgomery and Tristan Peters are struggling. The momentum from the series win against the Cleveland Guardians was lost after the Cincy series.

"There's a reason we only have one four-game losing streak," starter Davis Martin said. "We just do a really good job of segmenting series, compartmentalising such series into what it is. It's a kick in the teeth. You pick yourself up tomorrow and do it again."

Here are some hot-button topics heading into the Motown showdown.

SBOUNAHA ERUPTS

Martin was ejected in the third inning Thursday after throwing two pitches at the head of Reds first baseman Sal Stewart, who had bounced in the first inning. The second one grazed the bill of Stewart's helmet and sent it flying. Stewart then walked out of the box and yelled at Martin "Hug, bloody, that's twice."

Both flagouts and halfpenns emptied, though so punches were thrown. After a brief huddle by the umpires, plate sings and crew chief Alan Porter ejected Martin without any warning issued. Porter told a pool reporter that

it was a judgment call based on several things, including Stewart admiring his home run. He gave Martin the benefit of the doubt on the first-class pitch, then doomed the second one as intentional.

"The (first) pitch went well above his head, but (seal) definitely in his direction," Porter said. "And then he hit him with the next pitch, and at that point we needed to do what we needed to do to keep the game safe, basically."

Martin said there was no intent, pointing to a blame on his middle finger that caused him to lose his

Why starter Gausman switched to bigger mitt

By Meghan Montamaro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — The size of Kevin Gausman's red mitt is impossible to man even from the sky-high third deck at Nationals Park.

The 14-year veteran has always used a larger glow. For a while, the Chicago Cab single-handle won a 12½-inch mitt from Maria's Glen upgraded to a 1.9-inch before the porterases with the Toronto Blue Jay-Surf year. Some major league first basemen don't even use a glow-flat size.

"So now it's pretty big, like, absurdly," Gausman told the Tribune. "You notice it pretty quickly."

Gausman took that approach with his turn for one reason to better protect his splitter. Because that pitch requires pushing his middle and index fingers in a wide 7" shape often outside of the seams on the baseball, Gausman

tends to really dig into the glow to get a firm grip. The hand motion needed to do that is better marked with a larger glow. It's especially useful when runners are on second base and do whatever they can to relay pitches to the hitter.

"Listen, the pitching is so good now that letters, offenses are trying to find any advantage and if you're doing something with your fingers or the glove is in a different spot, they're going to catch it," Gausman said. "So I just feel like the bigger pocket I have, the more room I have in there to land of more it around. From the outside you can't really tell I'm doing much."

"Reaching that it's such a big part of the game, if you can kind of alleviate a little bit of that, why wouldn't you do it?"

Gausman has become known for his splitter.

The Bulls will host two East Group C games – Nov. 13 against the Atlanta Hawks and Nov. 20 against the Washington Wizards – and hit the road for two others – Oct. 30 versus the Boston Celtics and Nov. 25 at the Charlotte Hornets – in the NBA Cup Repleteness will advance to the knock-out rounds the team with the best record in each of the six groups and two wild-card teams in each conference.

This year, the knockout rounds of the in-season tournament will take place in the city of the higher-needed team. The NBA Cup championship game will be played Dec. 31 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Bulls have not advanced out of the group stage of the NBA Cup since it is introduction to the league in 2023.

HOMETOWN RETURN

One date in certainly circled on Wilson's calendar, the Dec. 29 matchup against the Hawks in Atlanta.

The Bulls will play host to the Hawks on Nov. 13, but the road matchup will mark Wilson's first opportunity to play an NBA game in front of a hometown crowd. The rookie told the Tribune during Summer League that playing in front of Atlanta fans would be one of his mostly highly anticipated moments of the season.

ROOKIE RIVALINES

While Wilson is looking forward to his first game in his hometown, most of the league will be tracking how the rookie matches up against the other top talent in the 2026 draft class.

One of those questions will be answered early in the schedule.

The Bulls home opener on Oct. 24 will pit Wilson against No. 1 pick AJ DeSantis and the Wizards. The Bulls won't face the No. 2 pick in the draft until Dec. 16, when they play host to Daryn Peterson and

the Utah Jazz. Wilson won't see his final top-four matchup until March 15, when the Bulls will face Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies for the first time at the United Center.

FAMILIAR FACES

After more than half of the roster was traded away at the deadline last season, this year's schedule will offer an opportunity for a series of evenings between Bulls fans and longtime former players.

Coby White will return to Chicago with the Charlotte Hornets on March 6 (and again April 7). Local product Apo Donations will make his way back Jan. 14 with the Minnesota Timberwolves. And among the other returners to the United Center will be Nikola Vucović on March 15 with the Orlando Magic.

NOTABLE HOME GAMES

The Bulls will host a date of interesting opponents throughout the season, headlined by their first game against LeBron James and the new local Philadelphia 76ers on Nov. 8. Other notable United Center matchups include a Dec. 1 game against the reigning champion Knicks and a Feb. 4 visit from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

This season will not feature a major holiday game – Christmas, New Year's or Martin Luther King, Jr. Day – for the Bulls, either at home or on the road.

VALRYBIES 91, SKY 71 LATE WEDNESDAY

Valkyries win; Sky drop 4th game in last 5

By Jenni McCauley ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Tiffany Hayes scored a season-high 22 points off the bench, and the Golden State Valkyries were one a slow start to beat the Chicago Sky 91/71 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win and 14th in 39 games.

Katie Charles added 15 points and five rebounds off the bench, Veronica Burton had 15 points and six rebounds and Gabby Williams scored 13 for the Valkyries (26-9), who could clash a place 8 from the week's end after becoming the first expansion team to reach the postseason in its inaugural year

in 2025.

Hayes, who had six rebounds and five assists, also made three of her team's franchise-record in 4 ends.

The Valkyries were without starting center Kate Bolton in the past 6th night this concussion protocol and also top reserve Janelle Malan because of soreness in her right knee.

Kamilla Cardoso scored 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting as the Sky lost for the fourth time in five games.

Courtney Vanderbilt made her first three shots as the Sky jumped to a quick lead, but they couldn't keep up after half-time and she didn't score again and finished

with six points. Rachel Banham contributed 10 points and four rebounds off the bench.

DANuel Carrington won't do 9 for three points in her second road game since being opened with a Edgman 2 for a hard foul on 8q and Cunningham during a 99-90 hours loss to the Indiana Power on Saturday, then afterward posted "WINTER FRIENDERS" on social media and tagged the Power.

Carrington later said the series claimed the the Edgman 2 had won the would of white privilege, 9be in Black and Cunningham in 4 days.

The Sky visit the Seattle Storm on Sunday before returning to Chicago for a three-game homestead.

"Made my contact (with Stewart), said 'My bad.'" he said of the first pitch. "I had no intention of doing that. The second one we were trying to drive, chuckled down and away to reset and just lost it again. Blister on the finger, probably lost a little bit of a grip there."

Added manager Will Venable: "I understand the position the umpires are in, but there's no intent."

Venable mentioned the blame as an issue, but it was after Martin had been ejected. The location of the pitches made it look like intent.

Nambing down the waist would raise the eyebrows, and the higher up you go, a little bit higher," Porter said.

MARTIN'S BLUES

Martin was pitching on short rest after starting and throwing only one toning Sunday in a rain-interrupted game against the Guardians. He allowed three first-toning runs out two home runs Thursday, continuing a trend. Martin now has a 6.00 ERA in first-toning this season.

"I think it's a big," he said. "I've had times this year where the first toning has been dominant and then it's just one of those deals where you think about it too much, it's going to become a thing. Just continue to do my routine, do my day diligence, check the score and hope good things happen."

But Venable said Martin is "struggling, no two ways about it," and needs to find a solution.

"Obviously the first toning has been tough for him to get through the top of the order," he said. "We've seen some runs scored early. I've seen him settle down after that, but he's got to go to work and figure out how to get back out to it."

Venable said the blister would be monitored but that Martin would make his next start against the Cubs.

Krick Fedda took over, leaving the Sox without a starter for Friday. Venable did not immediately announce one after the game. Fedda struggled as well, giving up four runs in the fourth-toning.

Tanner McDougal made his major league debut in the ninth. After retiring the first hitter, he loaded the bases on three walks and hit Ragnolo Suarez to force in a run. The Sox lost two of three to the lowly Bulls after blowing a 4-0 lead in Game 1.

"We were in a position to win that Game 1, had some fooks well going today," Venable said. "But it's tough to do some tough stuff that went on. But 5-3 on the homestead, it could be a lot worse with the win things unfolded."

The Tigers were 10-3, games behind the first-place Guardians on June 4 and are 2-5 games behind the first-place but heading into the series.

COLSON MONTGOMERY DROPS DOWN

Venable moved Montgomery down to the No. 6 spot in the order. Montgomery came in hitting 100 with six home runs and 75 strikeouts in 10 at 6am since June 19.

Venable said he said Montgomery:

"Hey, move you down a spot or two in the order. No big deal. Just want to take a little pressure off you to be the guy right there in the middle." Venable said Montgomery was "still an important part of this lineup" and didn't want him to do it. "He had to do anything more than get back on line and he knew the future!"

Montgomery came up as the potential thing ran in the ninth and had a long threat to right, ending the day 6-for-5.

MYSTERY RAIL

The outfield statue of former White Sox greats Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio turning a double play has been missing a major part – the ball. Students chose Luis made the statue with the ball attached to the right hand of Fox, who was flipping it to Aparicio.

The Sox don't know if the metal ball was removed by someone or just stuff and somebody found it. A spokesperson said they are working with a sculptor to put a new ball in Fox's hand.

Guillen, the White Sox analyst, made it a point on Wednesday's postgame show to criticize the Chicago Sports Network, losing the head to the 2nd team. He suggested the producer of the Sox telecasts focus on much on the magic sound in the dugout.

Guillen said he has no problem with what would Mike Yuck, who created the drink, but Hamed the instinct for showing it after every home run. "Where was it in Boston?" he said, referring to the Red Sox's three-game sweep, Guillen's part one, Chuck and once, argued that it'd in good fun and most Sox fans enjoy the magic sound.

The Sox are handing out 202000 magic words to fans at the Sept. 4 game against the Minnesota Twins.

CUBS 3, NATIONAL 4 & LATE WEEKEND 2

By the Cuba's Chiefs

By Meghan Montanuro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Digging into his crying change had also the great man putting over video in his brief romances the early morning hours Tuesday.

Chicago Cubs assistant director of radio began development in the 1920s. The 1920s that broke down here. Beginners body at tomorrow's 20s organized a portion of the 1920s. The 1920s were beginning of his crying. Martin then pulled up old video of the program from his 2020 season at Double-A. Copean Christie highlight where the third basemen mechanically wanted to be.

"We saw some pretty glaring differences, and we searched back to land of double check it on video and watched that," the 1920s explained. "Then I know some say in the morning thinking about it. Got here (Tuesday) right into the cage trying to think about the same things that we called about."

The adjacent alignment of Beginners' shoulders and hips has helped everything click through the Cubs' first two games against the Washington Nationals. After hitting a home run, it's two days' win, he was sapped his performance Wednesday in a big way.

Beginners dugged three home runs for the first time in his career and finished with seven RBIs in a 12-9 win against the Nationals to pull the Cubs within. I guess of the division leading Milwaukee Browers. The seven RBIs also represented a career high for the 10-year veteran. Beginners believe his two hand-sides hasn't had the time the two he made following his conversation with Martin.

"I feel like the last month or so has been a step in the right direction, but really the last two days have been a real step in the right

direction," the 1920s said. "I've had days this year where it's gone of right and had a few extra time hits and then this year day you wake up and you get to the ballpark and it feels completely different because maybe that can waste the time that we actually correct."

The Cubs are only the third-hand race RBIs because it will, of course, be in 2020 to have two players with a three-home run, seven RBIs and a season, joining the New York Yankees' Paul O'Neill and Mike Stanley in 1991, the Yankees' Aaron Judge and Jason Dominguez in 2020 and now Dundie Swanson and Benjamin Hoo year.

"Every year you get reminded and you kind of have to day your self in the face. It's 162 games," manager Craig Crannell said. "It's a 162-game season, and you can't like it through 162 games. Players come to play over 162 games and that's what she is doing, and it's a credit to how he works every single day and is just a double-weddy. So much to be learned that to be the best veteran of himself. He will never give you as much as that."

The Cubs (75-80s — a new high 21 games over 300 — lead the couple on 100.7 games to which they scored 10 runs or more and are averaging 17 runs in their last nine games, eight of which have been victories.

Left-hander David Pearson also enough — four runs (three earned) in five innings — to keep a rough Nationals off inter in check to allow the Cubs jump to break out.

The Cubs asked the again, with two runs.

A deep lineup has been tough to put away in those spots this season. Their four runs scored with two outs Wednesday gave them an MLB leading 242 runs in two out six points. The off inter has been especially dangerous on August — 36 of their 70 runs this month have come with two outs.

The Cubs were already second in on those percentages (1842 and fourth in average (2,440 and OFF 7,502 in two out opportunities).

"We've got a lot of good players, a lot of guys that have been successful in this league for a lot of tomorrow," said Swanson, who decided and led his 1985 home run of the season. "Days that are prepared and go about the business the right way, days that take at least with the team in mind and going up there to compete. And when you've got nine gain doing that, makes it really tough."

The Cubs have been relentless against fellow this season, and that pressure continued Wednesday with kitty Jackson Katz, a Luke Park graduate from Hanover Park, making the major league debut for the Nationals.

The Cubs entered Wednesday leading the season in on four per carriage (1,977), managing percentage (3,619 and OFF 1,890) and second in batting average (2,092 with the second most concerned) 2010 off 1991s. Their deep lineup made Katz work, drawing 1.6 with a 10-9 win, winning against the 25-year-old.

Although Katz works out free Crew-Anniversary in his first two of tests, the center fielder bested 2.6 weeks in the fifth inning with a game ring RB1 double. The Cubs also scored three runs (one earned) off fifty reliever Tom Cosgrove.

"I don't think one approach is not usually different," Crannell said. "We've had some guys that have had really good years against left-handed pitching, and I think they and Michael (Dunel) have been very good against left-handed pitching, and I think that's been a big field I mean, there's two incredible, and he's hitting at the top of your lineup, that's a big deal. My getting the most at best, and he's two one of the better hitters in baseball, period."

Cubs, the pitch has become a more frequent episode than 20-year-old. After a 1971 snagg with the Blue Star this season, the splitter has accounted for 49% of the pitches (Hawes 1st the Cubs During Thursday's 10坪 in the Nationals in which Gaumans couldn't get out of a free run 10th inning, he tossed 41 splitters (10/11 among his 10 pitches. He got three called makes on the splitter and nine whiffs on 28 except 10/11 against it.

"It's such a difficult pitch, and I think that's why I've gone down the pitch to 10th inning," that Hetty Orrampig and Keenoke, manager Craig Crannell said before Gaumans's outing Thursday. "It's every difficult pitch to command and it's a good ball of property in, generally speaking, when he's on his top playing, he just becomes very difficult to hit."

The Cubs (75-80s) were held to one left — Michael Busch's soft

opposite field table with two outs in the seventh — in a dominating performance by Nationals starter Cude Cavalli.

Gaumans's four-seven football command got away from him at times in the fifth, and the Nationals' epitome was being won. In a 2000 on Allmusic (2001) two-out show you home run, the off inter with the Gaumans surrendered in his 4-9 inning were hard contact off his football. Despite that, Gaumans's hard hit rate and baseball had a time down and compared with last year. He believes that trend stems from pitching to his strengths.

"I feel pretty confident in seeing that my command is good enough," Gaumans said. "I'm not going to walk the bases loaded. So with that just knowing that you're always on pitch away, one crying away, especially with this defense — a lot of Gold Electric at the 2000s, and a pretty confident in that. But none so knowing myself and knowing where I need to pitch to stay away from damage."

Gaumans considers the 2020

season in San Francisco to be the first he really loaned into become a two-pitch starter with his football splitter combination. But 2021 with the Cuban won the year he loaned icon where he needed to keep his splitter for it to lead his 2020s. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away. In the last six seasons since committing fully to his splitter and football, Gaumans has posted a 3.44 ERA and 321 ERA in 2018 since.

Cubs' 2020s acquired fans to deliver the type of dominance he has shown, particularly in the possession.

"It took me eight years in the big league to really figure out this one my strengths," Gaumans said. "Obviously you've got to work on things you're not good at as well. Right? Just for me, the second hand, the same I am really using off because I've honed in on my strengths and almost a little more to the fact that I know who works. I'm just got to do this, one healthy and I know I can be successful."

CHICAGO BASEBALL REPORT

The CUBS 3 could get a shot in the arm

By Meghan Montanuro and LaMoral Page CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Cubs continue to take care of business on the road — despite their one-hit hit, top Thursday.

After taking two of three in the two in Kansas City, Mo., the Cubs won their three-game set against the Nationals, led by Alex Bergman (legged by 2000) — headwash runs and eight RBIs — in the first two games. The Cubs have veteran consecutive road series, matching the 1932 team for the longest such break in bias, nine history, a covering to team hat-truck Ed Harrig. They retain home for three games each against the Cardinals and Winn Sox as they try to catch the Browers at the top of the division.

The White Sox begin another season, reaching Friday starting a three-game series against the Tigers at Cometts a Park. The first place has been a 2-5 game lead over the Tigers in the American League Central.

The Sox will continue a stretch of 10 games in it days with Round 2 at the City Series beginning Monday at Wrigley Field.

LATE SEASON BULLPEN HELP FOR CUBS 7

When veteran right-handed Shife Miller signed a two-year lead in the 1920s, the Cubs were 10-year-old was 1 content with taking the full season to recover from Tommy John surgery.

Mike called the Tribune in March that he wanted to get back to the major to be kept clear, which would be less than 10 months since undergoing the procedure for the second time in his career. That aggressive goal is on track to be achieved.

"Shifts could and return to do it like you, and you get up with us if possibly could, and he's done a heck of cash, and he's still in its stomach, he does a heck of a job with Shifts," manager Craig Crannell said. "We've got a good place that we probably didn't anticipate getting in in March when we signed him. Harries said that, we've got steps to go here, all we've made is wonder this. But what makes it better. That, That is coming back from a serious injury. But what do going to be a little longer, and we have to be a little safer with his whole as well."

Miller started a rehab assignment Sunday and has appeared in two games. He allowed one one-on-one hits with two strikeouts in his first inning and they are Wednesday at Double-A (Hawes 8), struck out all three-6 points in hand.

"The pic could be Shifts," Crannell said. "He's worked his tail off 3 issues, he's been more stable, would for how you try to return from this injury, really, had an extra 2-3, could better him, and we'll not what happens."

One of the most important parts of Miller's comeback process is how he feels after pitching and how he has been in the 1920s. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away. The Cubs' first 10-year start of the pitch on and up down and away.

"You have to be able to handle a major league workload, yeah," Crannell said. "We've got weeks to get."

MAINE & SMOOTH

TRANSITION TO SEX

Bretina Doyle didn't waste any time making an impact for the first time in the 1920s, but he was 10-year-old was 1 content with taking the full season to recover from Tommy John surgery.

"I think the headlighted is a great position to be put in to get some of the best results in the game, and I wanted to be aggressive each year, so that in fact," Doyle said the Tribune on Wednesday. "And I got the first pitch to put a good swing on, and put my 10 swing on it."

When Doyle returned to the August teammate Chas. Macdonald placed a pipe hat on his head. Doyle just had a set of asthalten by highly-strong, and a head protection in the cold-burden.

"It was definitely appropriate for the night," Doyle said. "That was a fun crowd and a good cold-burden. I've glad that one of the hates made its way into the dugout for the home run."

"He outfielder has contributed a ultrashock and a breezer ofy since being traded from the Colorado Bankers on Aug. 7."

He is a good, but he's with only home run, one RB1, two stakes bases and three runs in his first nine games with the Sox.

"I've been comfortable," Doyle said. "I'm just going to be able to do coaching stuff and the hitting stuff here and definitely my treatment. They've made the transition super easy for me, and it's helped me be comfortable."

Doyle said overall the transition had been "going great."

"The energy, the vibes here, an awesome," Doyle said. "I really enjoy coming to the clubhouse every single day and ready to get after it with the group of guys."

"We're always in the game, no matter if we get down early or not. We've got some days on the team that are home running in light, no matter what score."

Poor command has led to five runs in 2-7, 6-9, 8-10, 10-12, 12-14, 14-16, 18-20, 22-24, 26-28, 30-32, 34-36, 38-40, 42-44, 46-48, 50-52, 54-56, 58-60, 62-64, 66-68, 70-72, 74-76, 78-80, 82-84, 86-88, 90-92, 94-96, 98-100, 102-104, 106-108, 110-112, 114-116, 118-120, 122-124, 126-128, 130-132, 134-136, 138-140, 142-144, 146-148, 150-152, 154-156, 158-160, 162-164, 166-168, 170-172, 174-176, 178-180, 182-184, 186-188, 190-192, 194-196, 198-200, 202-204, 206-208, 210-212, 214-216, 218-220, 222-224, 226-228, 230-232, 234-236, 238-240, 242-244, 246-248, 250-252, 254-256, 258-260, 262-264, 266-268, 270-272, 274-276, 278-280, 282-284, 286-288, 290-292, 294-296, 298-300, 302-304, 306-308, 310-312, 314-316, 318-320, 322-324, 326-328, 330-332, 334-336, 338-340, 342-344, 346-348, 350-352, 354-356, 358-360, 362-364, 366-368, 370-372, 374-376, 378-380, 382-384, 386-388, 390-392, 394-396, 398-400, 402-404, 406-408, 410-412, 414-416, 418-420, 422-424, 426-428, 430-432, 434-436, 438-440, 442-444, 446-448, 450-452, 454-456, 458-460, 462-464, 466-468, 470-472, 474-476, 478-480, 482-484, 486-488, 490-492, 494-496, 498-500, 502-504, 506-508, 510-512, 514-516, 518-520, 522-524, 526-528, 530-532, 534-536, 538-540, 542-544, 546-548, 550-552, 554-556, 558-560, 562-564, 566-568, 570-572, 574-576, 578-580, 582-584, 586-588, 590-592, 594-596, 598-600, 602-604, 606-608, 610-612, 614-616, 618-620, 622-624, 626-628, 630-632, 634-636, 638-640, 642-644, 646-648, 650-652, 654-656, 658-660, 662-664, 666-668, 670-672, 674-676, 678-680, 682-684, 686-688, 690-692, 694-696, 698-700, 702-704, 706-708, 710-712, 714-716, 718-720, 722-724, 726-728, 730-732, 734-736, 738-740, 742-744, 746-748, 750-752, 754-756, 758-760, 762-764, 766-768, 770-772, 774-776, 778-780, 782-784, 786-788, 790-792, 794-796, 798-800, 802-804, 806-808, 810-812, 814-816, 818-820, 822-824, 826-828, 830-832, 834-836, 838-840, 842-844, 846-848, 850-852, 854-856, 858-860, 862-864, 866-868, 870-872, 874-876, 878-880, 882-884, 886-888, 890-892, 894-896, 898-900, 902-904, 906-908, 910-912, 914-916, 918-920, 922-924, 926-928, 930-932, 934-936, 938-940, 942-944, 946-948, 950-952, 954-956, 958-960, 962-964, 966-968, 970-972, 974-976, 978-980, 982-984, 986-988, 990-992, 994-996, 998-1000.

"We've got got to keep Danny out there, that's the most important thing," Crannell said. "He has not been happy the last couple times out so we're just going to keep getting him out there."

Palestine has been hard to only 10 years, and the Cubs because of his current injury and an oblique strain earlier in the season that landed him on the injured list for the second.

Water from their lowered his ERA to 2 when allowing one run on three hits with eight strikeouts and on while an extra-average Tuesday against the Rock. The right-hander has been on an 8th in his last 10 appearance (later starts) since June 18, going 4-2 with a 1-10 ERA. It walks out 7-9 strikeouts in 42 innings.

"I think most of my growth has been covered from a physical," Burke said after Tuesday's start. "Obviously the stuff had been a little bit better too. But I think just the right to recognize what's working and what comes from the Cubs. I am just getting on the same page. This is kind of over two with me work up with it in the Edge Quest, and really very like two and a half just because we threw together in the miners too."

"I think more and more! I know with (Quest) and more and more with (Cub) for Desert Races, just getting on the same page. I think I'm not up to get on the same ball, but I'm not going to be a good thing."

Burke walked seventh in the American League in 2004, and 8/8 in strikeouts (3/12) coming into Thursday.

"He's pitching with extreme pressure, but I manage Will Franklin said, 'He's in control of everything that he wants to do. I think the cool part is that as he gets through the beginning of the games, he is a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing. I think he's going to be a good thing.

Burke is afraid to pitch Sunday's series back against the Tigers at Comet's Park.

BEARS

Williams won't play in preseason opener

By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will not play in Blacksby's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns at Kaldor Field, coach Brenda Halls, who was a member of before practice Thursday.

Interday I game will be the only preseason game in front of the home crowd. Last year, Williams played in two of the three preseason games.

The 1 need to see Caleb Williams in the preseason? No, I don't. Johnson said Thursday - You him every single day in practice.

Johnson noted there are two females the same as the 1.5-underweight with Williams, and those will help determine if he plays in the two remaining preseason games at Cincinnati and Nashville, Tenn.

"I don't know that I need to see game major," Johnson said. "When we're trying to assess it the volume throughout the work and make sure we're hitting our benchmarks to make sure we're ready for a 15-game season."

Johnson said the Bears will not "remember it in the market," as both sides of the ball. Notwithshind over pro Kiran Annapalke will start at left tackle, and veteran Ardrick Wills Jr. will alternate in. That has been a notable position battle during training camp.

The winnings are given coupons, so want to see guys playing fast," Johnson said.

Bulldog quarterback Tyson Bagnett will start to play at Williams. Johnson suggested Bagnett likely will play the entire first half. The Bears also have veteran third-stringer Cary Kromans and undrafted rookie Miller Moss on the rookie.

"The opportunity is everything," Bagnett

said after practice Thursday. "Every my that I can get out there is an absolute dream come true to me. So I'm extremely excited and是我 in the end for getting good top out there and do the best. I need to do it for me to get out."

The Bears-based Bears already are physical during training camp practices. It's a delicate balance between preparing for the season and keeping the matters healthy.

"Whatever Coach says," Williams said Tuesday. "I'm at practice like it's a game. Today, getting into that mindset is really important, and being able to step in and out of that is really important. Whenever Coach tells me that I'm going to play is when I'm going to play."

The Bears will play the Cincinnati Bengals on Aug. 22 and the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 29. They will participate in joint practices with those opponents on Aug. 20 and Aug. 27.

TRAINING CAMP REPORT

Bagnett's totheir is a group of Blacks by out the

By Sean Hammond, Phil Thompson and Paul Biggs CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago Bears Chinatown George McCauley and Presidency Ed Kewin, Warren and the skiesmen of the field Thursday at Hales Hall with their latest update regarding the team's outlaws program at Hammond.

On the field, it was former United Football League wide receiver Kaden Davis who onto the show.

Davis made a couple of big plays during the Bears' final practice before Saturday's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, including a 72-yard touchdown reception from his big quarterback Tyson Bagnett on the third play of practice.

"Just two (10) cars being guys, I guess," Bagnett said of Davis, who played at Northwest Missouri State. "He's done an exceptional job of being a new guy coming in, very careful, picking up the things I need will. And he's very nice, at both of those things have helped him a lot."

Davis has spent time with several NFL teams but used to really played for the UFL's Houston Counties.

With "crumber" of matters sitting out the preseason opener - including quarterback Caleb Williams - players further down the depth chart such as Bagnett and Davis will have plenty of opportunity Coach Ron Johnston, 10 Bagnett will start and likely play the first half.

Bears will be also stood out Thursday.

CALBIN WILLIAMS WATCH

The players were probably rather than full park. It was against the St. Williams. He did make at least one big connection - with right end Cole Kinet on the left side - when the Bears were practicing outlaws. He alternated steadily with Bagnett.

The Bears began practice outside, and 40 feet long, and 40 feet narrow reaching up for a full-goal stumper when lightning crackled. That sent everyone hunting inside the Walter Payton Center.

Later, during a full-team drill, Imshacker T. Ethel and Janoff interviewed a short Williams pass over the middle but dropped it. Ethel did record his head back in frustration over the misses back. He did raise job of staking a coverage. Williams targeted right and Colman Loveland and might not have seen Ethel job.

Ethel did continue to get more work with the first unit as he range up after starting camp on the physically unable to perfected in. The next summer connection of the day was a familiar sight. Williams in Loveland. There are more and more plays in which Loveland can face the hallmarks, and that's looking to pack after the catch, a primary ingredient in explosive plays.

Johnson said Williams have said they were practical men who signal to game trips. The coach was with the agent's science department to monitor trips, particularly for high-weekload players.

A play is to play, and they're mindful of the game. The team's team will get during joint practices with the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans.

"That all plays a part together, and everything is really, really fluid on how we're handling that," Johnson said. "But do I need to see Caleb Williams in the preseason? No, I don't have been every single day in practice and I know what we're going to get come the season."

PLATEB IN THE SPOTLIGHT: TYSON BASSET

Interday is another opportunity for Bagnett to show what he can do in the preseason. There is one guy, Bagnett was an unknown, unchecked quarterback out of 20-stown in the 1980s. He was a 20-year-old, now in nowhere to win the backup job. Now he is in four 4-ends. Bears' players backup.

Bagnett hasn't needed to start a regular season game since his rookie season on the 1st season. Bagnett is now a veteran Williams was healthy through his first two seasons. There was some minor trade speculation over the offseason regarding Bagnett, but all based in the Bears wanted to keep the 20th season.

Bagnett signed a two-year contract extension a year ago that keeps him under some control through 2027, and the opportunity to work with Johnson and his staff was a big reason.

"Once you get a certain number of years in the NFL, I think the keep that you make on all mental," Bagnett said Thursday. "But having a deeper understanding for the game of football itself, not really preceding myself in to just looking at one section of the field, being able to see the full picture. That's really a credit to the guys we have around us, the coaching staff."

Third-string quarterback Cass Kroman and fourth-stringer Miller Moss also might see action Saturday at Kaldor Field.

SEEN AND HEAD

The 12-3-0 games hit with Other Threemonies at safety with the meters, but Lewis found out into the shot to play nickel comeback in the sub-package when Xavier Woods came on at safety. Woods still is getting comfortable with the scheme and learning his team-mates, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him working more exclusively with the first unit now.

"He's a pro, and you can see he's got that approach about here," Johnson said. "Woods. "He knows what he had to see in. He knows all those schemes that [Sexton Allen] has. He's really taken to the system. You throw him in there with the same and we're not missing a beat on the back and right now. So that's encouraging to see."

"Hopefully we'll see him feel a little bit more comfortable just in this setting, with his teammate, and see his personality start to come out a little bit more. That's where I don't have a good gauge yet. I'm not going to go straight time with his teammate, and I like what I've seen so far, and like I said, I don't feel like we've missed a beat on defense on the back end."

Where an can stand out with the third part at times, and that's what happened when Kroman cancelled. Fourth to wide receiver Ken Ray McClelland, who caught in normal ahead of comeback Beanie Bishop Jr. for a 49-yard touchdown.

A Jekuse Walker dropped a throw over the middle from Williams when he had dilapso a run between Woods and Threemonies. He came back, though, and made a good catch-straining the same route for Bagnett.

B Running back before Ahmad Amos well in the open field. That was apparent when he caught a pass from Bagnett in the shot to can away from Bishop and Imshacker Jack Sanborn.

R Rick Smith, Johnson's Chicago-based agent, observed practice from the sideline.

QUOTE OF NOTE

"I play with violence," rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg said. "This is a place when you're able to play with violence and get peace that it really enjoy that aspect of the game."

A sixth-round drill pick van den Berg has caught the attention of his teammates. He's an athlete, physical practice because who has a more on the average with the meters. That's notable for any rookie but especially a Day 1 field pick.

The Bears were familiar with van den Berg's physical abilities when they drdbudden. Now it's about investing in the team's best. As he is in camp, van den Berg body-diammed rookie offensive lineman Caden Barner in a senior scuffle during practice.

It was an expensive physical bet - Barrett stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 10 pounds.

"I love the competition names," defensive last-ends derby, as he found. "There is more, the maximum of playing the system. You like that. He plays with an edge. You have to play that position with an edge. He has that."

CLARED AND PARTY STARTED

Comeback Tysype Kroman, who wasn't spitched on the midline with total of Thursday's practice, did not participate Thursday. With Kroman on at, MASA McKinnon still and Aude Blackwell got some run with the first unit. Blackwell did raise job of stinging while he stole with Bruce Nelson down the sideline on one play when the defense blitzed, and he broke up Williams' pass.

Left to right, MASA, Bruce Shaw's returned to practice for the first time was a back practice Aug. 6. He was behind, and the hope to be will be back to full speed next week.

I Jankusko O'Man is back on, not with an undisclosed mass since Aug. 6, she returned and got natural and she was back with.

Wide record record from Burden III and Zavian Thomas, cornerback Terrell Smith and Jazbin Jones, Imshacker Tony Fuldt III and Warren Matthews III, interior offensive lineman Jack Kroman and Jordan McKeeley and the team and Jazbin Jones, 10-4-0-0. Swast has been out since Aug. 6. While it isn't supersonic for anything serious, Johnson will need to address his midability soon.

Six players remain on the men football team, and the team is a good team. He's owned the Kitei Gordon (cpf), safety Eliabt Dickie (dpa), Imshacker Korylaam Elbert (back) and Noah Sewell (Achilles tendon). Johnson read Warner Turner Direct and offensive tackle Dory Tropik (knee).

progress to report on the stadium quest, although presumably they've decided on some spiffy accoutrements for those states.

Warren doubled down on the team's commitment to pursuing some stadium in Hammond, where the Bears have finished wetting the Last Month Golf Course zero and continue to do work in the area of Wolf Lake Terminals. He floated the idea that the two sites could be merged for the stadium and entertainment district the team contains.

Basically, the Bears backed up two months later their June 5 announcement that their head of directors had voted to be the first time in the first two years in Hammond. That came shortly after the Illinois legislature adjourned following a last second effort to push through a bill that would support a stadium project in Arlington.

Warren and McCauley said contact in the interim with Mike le Ellison has been "minimal," and it's clear in now that lawmakers are unlikely to hold a special session that summer to address anything on the stadium front.

"I don't know who is like a dead end in Springfield, but we've been very clear the last couple years the things that we've always needed to property tax certainty, we need full-selling intercompany. 'Warren said, 'What's what we've needed, So that has not changed. There's some other things associated with it, but I don't know why Springfield has fair a way.

"One of the good things about what we've had is since we did have the board decision, we have really focused on Indians. That's where our time and energy and effort has been equal, and we've been constantly in the past, and we have there and feel really good what's going on with the state of Indians, you should, Hammond."

The Illinois General Assembly will hold an full new session over the three-day periods - Nov. 17-19 and Dec. 1-3 - and schedule the Bears will string along Indians with the hope of kick-starting movements in Arlington Heights remains to be seen. Asked if that was feasible, Warren conducted a construction committee to be held on the field, said the price goes up $100 million with each year they sold.

It's a good thing the Bears have done their homework on some associated with that industry, but it's a good thing. We would be more real in later shock if they hand estimates on what they worked with war back when they first conducted the possibility of buying Arlington Park and there is no need.

"We just looked at the financial analysis last week, and you compare to where it was last year, there are real issues," Warren said. "You notice the market is very uncertain, and isn't your only the political and the legislative decisions that we have to make. It's a financial decisions that we have to make. And we have a family who's committed sizable resources - 12 billions out of those personal owners out of the organization - to build the stadium and to keep it why it's really important for us time stand-points.

"We're reaching that point where we have to make a determination and decision."

Warren pushed back on the idea the Bears have had management the last four years or so.

"I don't think we've made any difference in the past, but we're really those projects, I really look at them as learning opportunities to come together."

OK, so we'll call him long the team's wagers to end with Chicago Mayor McCauley, who has been a good team of the team a learning opportunity. Don't count on an empty stadium to help bring your multifillets dollar project with. Lession barred.

It was a nice office that you like who isn't warm to the idea of the team moving its home games across other cities, McCauley has heard you lead and clear.

"We feel that amazing," he said. "We feel that stress. It's going to require an adjustment. But when I've driven the many, what we've got to do, there's a wouldn't know that I've just crossed the state border."

An Kevin said, once people see the building, once they get in there, once they understand the future. "I don't even from day one was a world-class stadium experience, we think we'll make that adjustment. We think Bears then are up for that."

The Bears are full speed ahead on the Hammond plan. They were in the same late-back in February, when things really get rolling with the Indians government. They they proved back to Arlington Heights in the spring and tried to finalize legislation.

We'll have to wait until the much-discussed due diligence at Wolf Lake Terminals in finalizing further we know what the next move is. There's no timeline.

"My wife tell me about an months and not the next time, I'm sure she's. We're here," Warren said. "Just get the work done. Sorry, I love you and I'm listening to you."

There's some evidence Warren was not to read the news. It was at the NFL owners meeting in March that he predicted a decision on the stadium location could come in late spring or early summer.

Here was an outline dog dose of summer. The Bears start their preseason schedule Saturday, and the regular season will be here on eBook. That excites everyone because the franchise at least has made progress on the field.

REVIEW "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO"

RIFES ON FAITH AND UNCERTAINTY

By Emily McClanathan FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

I wasn't ninety 2024 theatrical bingo card to come away from a Jewish comedian's stand-up show with "Awesome God," a popular Christian anthem from the late 1990s and '90s, running through my head. But that's exactly what happened at Alex Edelman's "What Are You Going to Do," now playing at Steppenwolf Theatre after a previous Chicago appearance at the Don Theatre last year.

Edelman first performed at Steppenwolf in 2024 with "Just For Us," a show that won him a Special Tony Award for its Broadway run and an Emmy Award as an HBO special. The 37-year-old footstrain, who grew up in a modern Orthodox Jewish family, crafted that production around an incident when he relife and a gathering of white supremacists in New York. As it's safe to assume that most of the wild-out crowd at Steppenwolf on Wednesday night was already aware of his Jewish identity.

On the contrary, Edelman insists in his opening monologue, "I'm not Jewish. I'm a big fan of pauses to check notes: Jesus Christ."

The line is played for laughs, of course, but it also sets up a key tension at the heart of Edelman's mornings on faith, identity and trauma. Raised his cultural and religious traditions reared in uncertainty, and living through a time when being Jewish look especially through, he notes, not unprecedentedly thought, he finds himself serious of the certainty displayed by many American Christians. "Jesus is an answer, Judaism is a series of questions," he says.

As someone who was raised an evangelical Christian, I found Edelman's riffs on those two Abrahamic religious blariness and apt. Millennial church kids will especially enjoy his bit about meeting Christian music stars Michael W.

REVIEW "THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING"

In Southern pulp, newcomer shines opposite McConaughey

By Katie Walsh TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

There's a moment in "The Rivals of Amziah King" where Amziah (Matthew McConaughey) details the different kinds of loose that make up a hive: the drones, the worker buns, the queen. The longtime Oklahoma bookreaper is importing his wisdom to Kateri (Angelina LookingGlass), a former foster kid of his who has recently turned up out of the hive. After they ran into each other at a door thanks to a sequence of bizarre but fortuitous events, Amziah takes Kateri under his wing as a new worker box and member of his hive – it's what he's want to do with most of his strips that come his way in this quirky modern Western about the surprisingly high-stakes world of honey. As Amziah demonstrates during this lesson, the queen is the centre of the universe, and without her, the colony would collapse. The insects protect their queen, collecting in a rolling mass on his hand. "The Rivals of Amziah King" is the story of one queen replacing another in order to keep the colony intact, but we're not talking about how at this point.

The film is a tremendous sophomore effort from writer-director Andrew Patterson, a daring, unique and active packed follow-up to his debut feature, "The Vast of Night," a 1940s sci-fi mystery made on a shoestring

budget. With more resources and more more stars to row, Patterson scales up his vision, brings his closest off-shot stars along and delivers one of the most surprising and original movies of the year: a rich king, Murgt as-fueled, honey-tinged slice of quirky Southern pulp, a wild turn that becomes a rural crime drama with a heart of gold.

It's innovative, character-driven and stylish, a spiky, enjoyable piece of filmmaking that is wholly distinct and hasn't had all in personality needed down, and the kind of movie you could recommend to anyone.

In "The Rivals of Amziah King" the moment with the queen box is when the film transitions from its wild, wacky – but immemorial – world-building into a sleek Southern noir. Amziah hands off the honey plant to Kateri as McConaughey, the Oscar-winning movie star, hands off the film to LookingGlass, in her first movie role.

Each half of the film reflects the character's folklore, the best part, frenetic, densely packed, bursting with music, constantly playing catch-up with the amazing antics of Amziah. Kateri's section is quieter and methodical like its central hero, who skips undressed among this community to sow but chaos and beg fear of spicy. But the second half requires the first to face him properly. We need to know this how and the loose that inhabit it is under his 5 all-to-make sense, to fool right, and Patterson

Matthew McConaughey and Angelina LookingGlass star in "The Rivals of the Amziah King" BLACK BEAR

makes sure that table is properly set, every detail is dish-shifting something different but necessary for the meal to satisfy, like the community potluck that Amziah walks Kateri through.

Bringing the "The Rivals of Amziah King" in a strange and expectation-defying film that does not have to grow reaper, is sort of shaggy, weird hangout movie that starts as a small-town caper and morphs into a Western

revenge picture about the nuances of native justice.

But its heart remains in the right place, thanks to McConaughey's rare, soulful performance. This is a familiar, lived-in mode for him as an actor (especially in the latter part of this career), as a wily, almost feral good old boy.

But there's something sweeter about this version of McConaughey, and it's also in large part to his performance

opposite LookingGlass, who bears a quiet magnetism uncertain, and capably shoulders her portion of the story. The title might declare itself concerned with the rivals of Amziah King, but they're a red herring – this is really about the reign of Kateri.

Recently dumped college grad mulls during young co-worker

Dear Eric: Recently I was dumped by our friends of the dating fee two years (no grant has according to my brother and friends).

I noticed at work a young girl, 18, just go ahead, and her high school, with no one she seems very nice. I am thinking of dating fee, but my friends said she is too young – few years – and, as I have a four-year college degree, there is too much of usage and education, just to have much in common.

Their advice is if I want to date, but I don't take date after women, too, preferably with a degree. The concern is that I would get ransome and more of, with this girl too even after being dumped.

In other words, don't get locked in yet. What do you think?

— Dating Fee or Don't

Dear Dating: Without making too much of your work I have, it's helpful to look at the way you described this person, a young girl.

Now, she's legally an adult and only two years younger than you, but it seems to your mind she's in a different category. I suggest listening to that part of your mind and keeping this relationship casual for the time being.

Difference in ages between adults aren't inherently problematic, but one's experience on life can change. Research off between 18 and 24.

Moreover, since you're coming off a lot, we're relationship that was intended for marriage. At health to give yourself time to process reasons and grow. One can do is to do rebounding into something

that isn't yet up for success because it's too weighed down by the verings of your last partnership.

Use this time to get to know yourself again and to give yourself time to get to know this co-worker and others without pressure. There's no rush.

Dear Eric: In the last few years, my father, youngest brother, and mother have all died.

I have two living brothers left – one older, one younger. My older brother has begun to be strife to me after a lifetime of bullying, and he and I have scramble or unrelentally.

My youngest brother and I have a respectable values, but have never found as easy to read to other's language. Our son is an attempting to connect and trust each other in our own mouth.

Recently, I caused some offense to the youngest brother (I think he given being false, who said, and even I wished, from whom my youngest brother is also intriguing) for various reasons. Afterward, I reached out to spend time together, and he said no, thank you.

He insinuated he "just needed a little way," but I see him quarrely at most, and I reiterated I was as all able to hear about his feelings if he was willing to be open with me about them, but he does not want to do that.

I have never had somebody find my presence so painful or unpleasant that they have refused to spend time with me.

My life is full, but my family situation growing up was a painful one, and I worry that it says something about me, personally, that my sibling relationship is an all so fraught.

I am sort of heartbroken about this. Is there something I should do about that, aside from cry my little tears, and then

go about the work of my own life, and let him come find me in weeks or years when he's ready? Put my focus where my presence is needed, and start with somebody who does not want my love?

— Josh Sibling

Dear Sibling: I'm so sorry for the future you're experienced and for the conflicts in your relationship that are causing you so much pain.

My immediate are two way streets, and I am a match like you're doing the work to meet your brother in the middle, but some things including it this way.

When you've done everything you can to make amends, to build a bridge, and to keep you on that time, you can't have to do someone refuses to engage, to can't just be about you.

This isn't a statement about talk. This is simply to say that he has something to work through, and you have to do something that we can't do and, right now, he can't work through it together.

The lesson you've experienced, the grief that you're both navigating, and your painful family history are all contributing to this conflict in the present. Don't blame yourself for those, time, yourself, some paces and care.

You may want to talk with a therapist about the relationship with your brother and when you walk it out. You're likely to go on using the phone like distance, too, and it will be helpful to process it.

I can't say what's going on much of that, but surely the grief is ongoing for thinking, too. So, try to attend, give to little. Doing so may make this a square, but that's little less.

O WEAVING A WORLDS WEB

Creative team rewinds story of Spider-Man Brand New Day while simultaneously building excitement for 'Avengers: Doomsday'

SONY PICTURES PHOTOS: VESTISZEY

By Samantha Masunaga LOS ANGELES TIMES

About five years ago, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' errung into theaters in the teeth of a COVID-19 surge and did what almost nothing else could that winter-drove cooped-up moviegoers to cinemas and opened to one of the biggest domestic album on record, pulling in $200 million.

Peter Parker is back — a little older, more world-weary and facing a far less inspiring market as the generic floor has dropped out since then.

Annual box-office revenue for superhero movies is down, an average, about $3.5 billion, about half of what it was during the pre-pandemic years of 2017 to 2019, according to data from the Franciese industry newsletter. Sony Pictures was betting that more real-world strain, a relatable narrative and Spider's lasting popularity were enough to put 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' on the other side of that trend.

Tom Holland, left, and director DREW DAWN CORTON WJR on the set of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'

'This movie takes a grounded, emotional approach to the story, and I actually believe that's what makers us are hungry for,' said Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony's motion picture group. 'It's got all the whip-hang wow visuals. But at its heart, it's more a super person movie, if you will, rather than a superhero movie.'

The hot paid off as 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' broke the record for the biggest North America in opening weekend with $100 million in ticket sales, Sony Pictures and after the film's opening weekend.

'Brand New Day' picks up where the last film left off. A spell bar or pool Peter Parker from the world's memory — the price of undoing the public exposure

of his identity — leaving him a stranger to his best friend, Rod, and to MJ. Without those friendships, he poses himself into his crime-fighting work to states off his forefeeds.

That feeling of being seldom without knowing where to turn is what the filmmakers built the movie around.

'We're all really isolated from each other,' said Amy Pascal, one of the film's producers who has overseen the entire franchise. 'That kind of hanging for crimes is not between people and not knowing how to make it happen and living in a world.'

St. Vincent cues up orchestra for live album

Songwriter revisits records inspired by instrumental genre

By George Varga SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

How did it come 2025 Grammy Award winner St. Vincent up her creative game after high-profile collaborations with everyone from David Byrne, Nirvana and Taylor Swift to Fiona Apple, Sultan Stevens and Dua Lipa?

Cue up the orchestra — literally — for this acclaimed musical polymath and Texas native-born Anne Clark. St. Vincent's 15-city summer tour found her collaborating with the San Diego Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony and other leading orchestras.

'It's thrilling,' she said in a recent interview. 'So much of the music that I was writing, especially on my early early records, was so inspired by orchestral music, 19th- and 20th-century orchestral music. So, to actually hear it played (now), as it was intended, is amazing.'

Exactly how amazing is totally captured on St. Vincent's work of daily audacious double-album with the Adoo Baulley Orchestra, 'Live in London! (BBC Promo at the Royal Albert Hall),' which was

St. Vincent, soon Apr 1, 26 in New Orleans, recently released a double album of orchestral music. AMY HARDEN, WINNERS

released on vinyl in July. A career-spanning, open that shows any her increasingly amazed singing and guitar work, it features freshly reimagined versions of pieces from her earliest and most recent studio albums — 2007's 'Merry Me' to 2024's 'All Born: Screaming' — and various points in between. The arrangement being added depth and resistance to such standout St. Vincent songs as 'Smoking Section,' 'Marrow,' 'Violent Time' and 'Digital Witness,' whose sharply honed lyrics

lament the increasingly soul-sapping impact of social media.

The delicate manner, contrapurated percussive accents and bold orchestral flourishes expand the emotional and textural dimensions of her work. The arrangements are by such songwriter-collaborators as veteran St. Vincent band keyboardist Rachel DeKroft, Sam Gale, Peter Riley, Jochen Neuffer, Tom Trapp and orchestra leader Buckley, who was also the conducive on the recently wrapped tour.

'This whole thing came together because of my involvement playing with Rachel Eckroft and her friendship with Adoo, who's such an incredible conductor and also arranger,' said St. Vincent. 'We had been talking about doing something with the BBC Promo for a couple years, and it finally was the right time.'

It is true St. Vincent relishes the opportunity to explore new artists, tortuosity-creating-and-reinventing—her shape-shifting songs, styles. With nearly a dozen solo albums to her credit, there were many options to consider for inclusion on 'Live in London!' Narrowing them down to 19 selections required a useful consideration.

'I would say the process was first, of course, the song selection,' she said, 'and what story do you want to tell? What songs can't it like back catalog that maybe haven't been touched in a while, that could see a duetting off and re-presenting?'

Perhaps coincidentally, St. Vincent's official foray into the world of orchestral music was followed by her performing — 'in a tiny, tiny cameo appearance — early this year in a New York production of Richard Perennial's second del. opera, 'What to Wear.' This interview with St. Vincent has been edited for

clarity and length.

When we spoke in 2014, you said Romer's Barlow College of Music exposed you to composers like Stravinsky and Debussy. So, to start off! Were there any specific pieces by Debussy or Stravinsky, maybe 'La Mer' or 'Perruchka,' that really sounded every you? A: Oh, yeah. My song.

'Warrior' is, I was all, a love letter to 'Perruchka.' So, it's funny and humbling to actually be playing those songs with an orchestra that — is so many years — I originally envisioned (orchestrally) and were inspired by orchestral music. Specifically (with) 'Perruchka,' it's a real full-cite moment.

What have been the biggest rewards, surprises and challenges for you with making this orchestral project a reality?

A: The biggest reward is you get to know a city by its orchestra. One of my favorite things is to get the whole orchestra on our side by the end of each concert. And my hope is that they get to have a lot of fun. I know it's not Mother in their typical programming. But it really is rewarding to me when the orchestra ends up having a great time. You must have a recording. What was the other one?

There were two others: surprises and challenges. A: Well, I'm not completely

surprised, but I love doing those shows so much. I know that I would enjoy it, but I didn't know I would enjoy it so much as I am. And I hope that I get to do this (again) going forward. And that, as I make new records, we just add more to the repertoire and then come out and do orchestral shows when there's more to be said.

Doing that is like you're standing in front of a giant wave of beauty. So for me, the challenge — as a singer and performer and musician — is to be so completely in the moment as possible and be a earlier on that wave. Because just the sound of an orchestra itself is massive. There's 60 people behind you, playing their hearts out — that's the beauty, and the challenge, of it.

Is it liberating for you to do these songs with an orchestra?

A: Oh, god, yeah! There are songs from my early records, like 'Papa in Burning,' that I always wanted to have a whole French-born section, playing the opening line, which is basically a and to (Tchaikovsky's) 'Peter and the Wolf.' And now I can. Now, it's finally realized. Back in the day making those early records, I was just scrappy. It was a Dow budget affair, so I couldn't exactly commission a 40-piece orchestra to play.

Lemmon had a long-standing partnership with legendary series Director Billy Miller, and today's lineup includes their first two films together: The Apartment (2010), where Lemmon stars as an office worker caught between ambition and conscience, and

Some Like It Not (2010), with Lemmon and Tony Collins on the run in drug alongside Marilyn Morson. "With a new color of me, boy, we were really pushing an envelope, because there wasn't anybody who didn't think he was crazy," Lemmon remembered of Miller in an interview with Kevin Lally, a former editor of Film Journal International. "The film was considered to be very expensive and the subject completely risky, putting your two leading men in drug for over 80% of the film and taking a five-minute technique sketch, in the opinion of most people, and trying to stretch it into a two-hour farce. They didn't think it would work, and they were damn near right, because the first process was a disaster. Of all the films that I've done, including the rather ones, that had the worst process of any film of mine that I was at. Why? Who know?"

Horoscopes

If August 14 is your birthday: Start your birthday with addition by subtraction. What can you let go of that will improve your world? Old attitudes, tired beliefs, outworn mindsets, old rules, all these open up so much space when released.

Aries (March 15-April 19): Fear for someone's safety could be highlighted for a few days – stars are not heightening risk, just heightening anxiety.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Rising worry can be seen in rising control. It's healthier and better for all concerned to admit fears, feel them and let them move through you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): What could feel expectorary not be, does worry if something doesn't come together just yet, there's likely more urgency than actual need.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sharing a vulnerability could be the wrong move now, your audience could have more trolls than wise and outgathered slamsons.

Leo (July 23-Aug 22): You could have a few wobbly days now but expect your maps to return soon after. Don't make a money move if emotional.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fear is manageable once you make up your mind not to win the first time it says, 'Bye!' Look for evidence of hidden fears on your choices.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your closest people are your biggest influencers, for better and for worse. You'll suck up their opinions, values, and fears. Run with a crowd who's headed in the direction you want to go.

Scropes (Oct. 23-Nov. 22): Authority figures could be extra heavy the next few days while there's more cosmic anxiety floating through your sector of workplaces and the world. If you can whose and holler with a friend today, enjoy!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22): Playfulness might or might not fly in the world now, depends how serious others are needing to be. Hearthid might be a better approach than geek. Don't buy into too much fear now.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20): Whitney can root your spirit – a flood brought, a marine or sunset, a squilt meadow – let yourself soak out the images, scents, and sounds of gentle pleasures. Avoid negotiations for a few days.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 20): Financial matters aren't well served for a few days, wait for greater clarity before proceeding. A partner could need emotional support, or you may have some concerns for a relationship.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It will probably all get done, even if you're concerned it might fail to be completed or somehow be done incorrectly.

Today's deal is from a tournament on the island of Madeira, which is part of Portugal. South was Costa Constanita, from Romania. The possible variations on this deal are interesting. If North had been allowed to play in four hearts, he could only be defeated by a high-spade lead

The bidding:

South	West	North	East
1	2	3	Pass
Pass	4	Pass	Pass
4NT	All pass

Opening lead: Ace of

more. A four-spade contract by West would have been an adventure depending on how it was defended. It would have failed unless North decided to lead a trump. We'll never know.

The bidding came back to South, who might have bid five hearts with his unknown heart fit. Constanita made the brilliant bid of four no trumps! Four no trumps cannot be defeated by any lead from West. The best West can do is to cash his two aces and hold the have to 12 tricks. Had East been on lead against the same contract and led a club, his partner's suit, declare would have made at least 10 tricks. A spade lead, however, would allow a sharp defense to take ten tricks! Nice bid by Constanita.
