芝加哥公立学校称学校将按时开学

金就撤销教师及支持人员裁员提供细节较少 作者：Kate Armanini 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥公立学校（CPS）领导层周四告知家长，课程将按计划开始，但在董事会批准了一项依赖于$500 million新州政府资金的预算后，他们对于学区如何撤销裁员提供的细节很少。

CPS首席执行官麦考登·金（Macogden King）上周表示，她不确定学校是否能按计划开学。她警告称，学校董事会修订后的501.1 亿美元 billion预算可能会让贷款机构失去提供覆盖工资单所需短期贷款的意愿。

但在周四的一次社区活动中，金表示官员们“一直感到舒适且自信，学校将按时开学，不会有任何中断”。

由与芝加哥教师工会（CTU）结盟的董事会成员通过的这项$100 million预算修正案，要求学区撤销上个月宣布的对940名教师和600名学校支持人员的裁员。这笔资金还将覆盖一项拟议中的年中支出冻结，尽管这取决于学区能否获得尚未确认的州政府援助。

然而，校长们不需要重新开放其学校预算。2,278名发言人表示。目前尚不清楚学区是否将恢复被裁减的职位。

《论坛报》获得的一封CTU周一发给学区领导层的信函中，要求采取行动以“确保及时撤销”向其成员发出的裁员通知。

该工会及其盟友认为，修订后的预算是一种压力战术，旨在强迫斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）履行对CPS数十年的承诺。他们还指出，包括伊利诺伊州众议院议长布鲁马德·“克拉克”·韦尔奇（Brumard "Clark" Welch）在内的几位立法者最近承诺将游说争取更多资金。

工会还指出，根据州政府自身的资金公式，该学区仅被认为获得了75%的完全资金。

工会批评学区称学校校历可能会受到修订预算的影响，上周告诉成员，CPS“向家长发送电子邮件警告天要塌了”，并且“将教师的利益置于我们学校社区的利益之上”。

但学区领导层反驳称，根据州法律，该预算尚未平衡，如果资金未能到位，可能会导致年中削减。官员们表示，由于贷款机构和信用评级机构对未确认的收入持怀疑态度，此举可能会导致信用评级下调和借贷成本增加。

“我想要看到正义” 殡仪馆被发现存放数十具腐烂尸体，家属与官员在调查期间呼吁变革

作者：Allison Kidd, Caroline Kubzansky, Madeline Buckley, Sam Charles 和 Olivia Glander 芝加哥论坛报

拉塔查·约翰逊（Latacha Johnson）周四在南芝加哥殡仪馆安葬了她的母亲，就在几小时后，这家她原本打算给母亲做最后告别的殡仪馆，陷入了一种约翰逊无法预料的局面。

约翰逊表示，就在葬礼接近尾声时，大约 30 辆警车包围了这座位于南迪林的建筑，随后警方在那里有了令人震惊的发现。

在收到投诉后，警员和一名州监管人员在位于 2000 & 1000 St 的殡仪馆发现了 50 具以上的腐烂尸体。根据警方报告，投诉内容称遗体未被妥善存储在 40 华氏度或更低温度的环境中。

在发现尸体后，当局开始对该殡仪馆展开调查，并开展大规模工作以提醒相关遗体的家属。社区成员和政治人物谴责了对遗体的处理方式，并呼吁提起刑事指控以及加强对殡葬行业的监管；与此同时，死者的家属在面对亲人遭遇的恐怖经历时陷入痛苦。

一名发言人表示，芝加哥警察局的内阁区域侦探（Cabinet Area Detectives）正在进行刑事调查。

“我想要看到正义，”约翰逊说，“我希望他们不能再这样了，因为我希望他们进监狱。”

记录显示，该殡仪馆的所有者和经营者为克拉克（Clark）和约翰逊·摩根（Johnson Morgan），他们在当地殡葬业的工作过程中曾有过被指控违规的历史。

摩根的律师未回应置评请求。周五上午，摩根在郊区的住所无人开门。

市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）周五谴责该殡仪馆严重违背了家属的信任。

这支队伍里没有“二把手”

芝加哥雪球队如何将棒球与“巡回马戏团”相结合 作者：Chris Placak 每日先驱报（DAILY HERALD）

编排好的舞蹈动作，就像 40 年代的低频乐队。一个受 Santa Jid 启发、充满杂技色彩的“低王”（Low King）。一个在 satiry-clu 上的杂耍艺人？Peyers 雏鸡和一场雪仗（真实的火，但用的是棉球，毕竟现在是夏天）。

这些以及更多内容，是最近一个周日午后在 Wintnut Field 上演的节目（很多时候，一场棒球比赛恰好在其中间爆发）。

芝加哥雪球队——当地对萨凡纳香蕉队（Savannah Bananas）搞怪风格的回应——正处于首个赛季的巡演中，旨在将适合家庭观看的“爆发声明”带到中西部各地的棒球场。

“我们是一个巡回马戏团，”球队创始人兼首席执行官查尔斯·特拉斯基（Charles Trasky）说道。

的确，这就是这场将现场棒球与……相结合的、长达两场舞蹈的盛演背后的构思。

法院：舞厅工程必须停止

特朗普抨击要求国会批准该项目的裁决 作者：Darlene Superville 和 Michael Kurnatman 美联社 华盛顿 —— 一个存在分歧的联邦上诉法院周五裁定，唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府必须停止建设耗资 4亿美元 的白宫舞厅，因为国会尚未批准该项目。特朗普抨击这一决定“不公正”，并誓言将向国家最高法院提起上诉。

根据美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院一个由多名法官组成的小组的裁决，特朗普没有单方面权力在白宫东翼建设一座 90,000 平方英尺的舞厅，而他在去年秋天下令拆除该区域之前并未获得批准。

这位共和党总统在社交媒体上的一篇帖子中表示，他将就这一被他称为“不公正决定”的裁决向美国最高法院提起上诉。

沃基根的环颈三趾鹬种群增加了 3 只雏鸟

另外三只被命名并佩戴标识环以供识别

作者：Foreign}}{Midas 芝加哥论坛报

本周，沃基根的环颈三趾鹬数量增加，变得更加拥挤。据湖县鸟类学会称，周二有三只雏鸟被释放到沃基根海岸线，同一天，三只成年环颈三趾鹬被命名并佩戴了用于识别的标识环。

“得知他们要给我们带来这几只雏鸟（两只雌性，一只雄性）的消息时，我们非常兴奋，”湖县鸟类学会主席 Carolyn Lueck 表示。“而且时间刚好凑巧，他们把雏鸟送来的那天，我们正好给野生的 Budge-Davies 佩戴了标识环。”

已经在沃基根生活的三只环颈三趾鹬被佩戴了标识环并命名为 Dana、Pebblee 和 Drifton，这些名字均参考了大湖区（Great Lakes region）。

.

“自从他（或她）孵化出来，然后一小时后就开始探索，他就像是天生的冒险家，”Lueck 说道。

这些雏鸟是由 Pepper 和 Blaze 抚养的，它们是湖县海滩的常客。周四释放的三只三趾鹬是在密歇根大学生物研究所人工饲养的。两只雌性分别叫 Amara 和 Amorith，唯一的一只雄性叫 Archen。所有名字都参考了来自 Polakron from blue 的生物。

Lueck 表示，这些名字是吸引那些不了解环颈三趾鹬的群体的一种酷方式。“可以说，在未来，我们可能会推出一些环颈三趾鹬的交易卡，”她说。

在沃基根孵化的三只雏鸟的性别目前尚不明确，除非它们明年回来。Lueck 表示，到那时，这些三趾鹬大约 14 岁，可以通过额头上的黑色环带变化来区分。

她表示，在沃基根，除了这六只环颈三趾鹬，还有另外两只：Frankie 和 Buddy。这两只雏鸟今年在蒙特罗斯海滩（Montrose Beach）孵化，是 Maury 和 Rose 的后代。Maury 和 Rose 在芝加哥 70 多年来首次成功抚养出环颈三趾鹬雏鸟后，发起了一场全市范围的保护运动。

Lueck 表示，湖县鸟类学会希望引起人们对环颈三趾鹬的关注，因为保护它们的栖息地也能帮助许多其他植物和动物。

“我们越能让更多人知道这些小鸟的情况，对许多不同的事物就越有利，”Lueck 说道。

索克村一名女性在肇事逃逸事故中丧生，其家人希望有人能挺身而出

作者：Olivia Stevens 每日南城报道

马林杜·福特（Marindu Ford）的家人表示，他们失去了一位热情、深切关怀且坚定的未来哲学专业学生。这名来自新索克村的20岁女性于 8 / 4 在林伍德（Linwood）的一起肇事逃逸车祸中丧生。

福特在周末与她的姐姐塔米莎·丹尼斯（Tamisha Dennis）在一起，两人几乎形影不离，一起参加了跨信仰活动并预约了美甲，为周四的一场高中同学会活动做准备。

“整个周末都是她帮我选衣服，”塔米莎在周四回忆道。她们在参加完同学会开车回家途中，车辆油耗尽，于是她们开始步行前往伊利诺伊州 394 号公路与乔·奥尔路（Joe Orr Road）附近的一家加油站，就在那时福特被撞了，她说道。

塔米莎表示，在随后的几天里，她一直被侄女被高速公路车辆撞击后身体被碾过的画面所困扰。

“这让情况变得更糟，因为我能听到撞击的声音，”她说，“我一直能听到那个声音。”

福特的母亲克里斯蒂娜·丹尼斯（Christina Dennis）表示，她希望讲述女儿的故事能有助于伊利诺伊州警察对这起肇事逃逸车祸的调查。

“没什么大道理，但——她是我第一个孩子，我的长女，”克里斯蒂娜说，“她会一直支持我，如果需要的话，她会为了我与全世界对抗。”

“我希望那个肇事逃逸的人能挺身而出，自首，”她说。

此前，警方表示他们于周一凌晨响应车祸报警，将福特送往位于橡树林（Oak Lawn）的Advocate Christ医疗中心，她在 5 a.m. 被宣布死亡。警方表示，他们关闭了州际公路，并在大约 6 a.m. 重新开放。

调查仍在进行中，警方在周四拒绝透露是否已确定嫌疑人，以保护调查的完整性。

根据库克县法医办公室的说法，福特死于车祸造成的多种钝器伤。

塔米莎·丹尼斯和福特的生日在周日，两人原计划在整个 8 月举行庆祝活动。两人此前住在一起，并开始了丹尼斯所谓的“惊喜之战”，各自尝试用礼物和服务来取悦对方。

塔米莎说，福特本周买到了海军博览会的门票，但这些计划现在变成了哀悼和筹集葬礼资金。

塔米莎说，她之前特别兴奋地申请了一笔贷款，打算带两人出游并欣赏城市夜景。

“她想在夜晚看天际线，这样她就能看到灯光，”她说，“她长大了。我们做过很多有趣的事，但我认为她会喜欢盛装打扮，去市中心，在水上游玩。”

活泼外向的福特——塔米莎说她从不乱丢东西，除非她的兄弟们搬走了——她有一套整理得极其完美的化妆品和护肤品展示区，她还想邀请家人和朋友参加一次“彩色野餐”，届时每个人的服装和物品都要按颜色协调。

虽然福特内心是个“孩子气”的人，热爱迪士尼、警察和动物，但塔米莎说她也决心成为一名抽血员，她在Theatridge取得了顶尖成绩，并开始在奥林匹克菲尔兹（Olympic Fields）参加职业培训计划。

福特的弟弟汤米·丹尼斯（Tommy Dennis）说，现在姐姐不在了，他正努力挺起胸膛，按照她的标准生活。

“我试着多打扫卫生，因为我知道我没法比马林杜做得更好，”他说，“她打扫得非常好，成绩也非常好。她对未来有很大的计划，随着长大，但这一切都被夺走了。”

威尔县警长副手在2025年共逮捕122名酒驾者

该组织因其执法表现授予其年度荣誉 作者：Dennis Sullivan 为《每日南镇报》（DAILY SOUTHTOWN）撰写

一名威尔县警长副手因在2025, 共逮捕122名酒驾（DUI）者，获得了反对酒驾司机联盟（Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists）的认可，该组织将其命名为“年度警长执法副手”。

史蒂文·“史蒂夫”·波特特（Steven 'Steve' Potete）将他在高中毕业后的工作年限归功于为其奠定了基础，使他后来能够专注于事故重建，并在应对公众的紧急情况中获得经验。波特特表示，这些情况可能发生在街道 473 平方英里的任何地方，包括内珀维尔（Naperville）、布拉克伍德（Brackwood）、克雷恩（Crane）和鲍彻（Baucher）。但他表示，他“主要留在阿舍-纽伦诺克斯（Asher-New Lenox）和洛克波特-弗兰德尔（Lockport-Flandell）地区，那里是他的家，尤其是在寒冷的夜晚”。

波特特就读于维克多·J·安德鲁（Victor J Andrew）和卡尔·桑兹堡（Carl Sanzburg）高中，于1995. 毕业。但在加入威尔县警长办公室之前，他经历了一段漫长的过程。“高中毕业后，我从事拆解汽车的工作，一直持续到2016年，”他说。“这给我提供了一个很好的基础，让我了解汽车在碰撞中会发生什么以及事故重建方面的情况。”

但一次受伤让波特特不得不离开，促使他尝试在学校从事安保工作，随后与自闭症及其他发育迟缓的儿童一起工作。“这些职责教会了我耐心以及如何与儿童沟通，”他说。

波特特迅速将功劳归于他的导师、被誉为“酒驾执法专家”的阿尔宾（Albin）副警长，感谢他引导他掌握执法的一些细节，特别是应用于拦截受酒精或药物影响的驾驶员时。波特特回忆起阿尔宾告诉他：“你只需要知道如何与人交谈。你要以尊严和尊重对待他们。但你同时也得判断他们的状态，在必要时掌控局面。”

波特特的资历现在包括酒驾指导、交通碰撞重建以及来自调查员的保释经验，他表示他注意到人们在交通拦截结束时会感谢阿尔宾。“他告诉我，‘当你离开他们的车窗时，我要让他们感谢你。’他是一个巨大的帮助和资源，”波特特说。“He let the match under me。”

这并不是要淡化酒驾司机的严重性。在法庭上，醉酒驾驶者在导致乘客和其他驾驶员受伤或死亡的事故中，自身很少受伤。在2023, 三人在2023年相关的事故中受伤，发生在威尔县 2024. 年。At 人受伤，两人死亡，而在2024年 it 人受伤，其中一人死亡，根据警长办公室的数据。

威尔县警长迈克·凯利（Mike Kelley）表示，酒驾管控是公共安全的关键组成部分，也是防止道路上发生严重碰撞、受伤和死亡最有效的方法之一。

波特特于2010. 作为一名志愿宣誓警员加入了威尔县警长辅助部队。两年后，solicited 2022, 两人在 6,000 英亩的派对上在 2004. 被枪杀。该活动由 200 人参加。波特特和一名副警长是首批到达现场的人员。

波特特告诉他的妻子莱斯利（Leslie），他认为自己找到了使命，但他也知道她可能会担心，因为他与此接触，以及这对他们两个孩子的影响。他说，她没有阻碍他。“她允许我在人生较晚的阶段做出这个跳跃。为了做这件事，我们在经济上承受了损失，”他说。

波特特在 2022 年1月被录取，并在成功 exploiting one on understanding DUI restrictions 之后获准接受培训。“我有一位非常出色的培训警官！他主要按章办事，精通逮捕和知识。他是一个标准答案式的人，”波特特回忆道。

但他承认，作为一名年长警员的经验，使得其他副警长在对待他时，更多地将其视为一名经验丰富的副手，而非一名学习者。“我奋斗得极其艰苦。我坚定地决心要取得成功，”他说。

Potete表示，他还“参加了高级路边损害驾驶执法课程。在开始处理一些酒驾（DUI）案件后，工作量增加了很多。”Potete赞扬了威尔县州检察官办公室在起诉酒驾案件方面的方法，认为他们做得很好，有明确的规则且在强硬地推进案件。但凯利认为，法院系统在执法部门、检察官和司法机关之间需要更好的协作。这位警长表示，他希望看到案件能更及时地得到解决，同时他将开展关于酒后驾驶的危险和后果的公众教育，以“帮助减少重复犯罪”，在让违规者承担责任的同时，提高整个威尔县的安全性。在被告知一起改变了某受伤海军陆战队员生活的酒驾逮捕案时，Potete说：“情况不必非得如此改变。我经历过双方的处境。我非常有同情心。我在寻找酒驾司机，但我并不是为了逮捕而逮捕。我并非每一步都遇到那种情况，而这并不是一件坏事。”“如果让我猜测，80%的人会感谢我。”

尸体

从1996年到2026年，最艰难的时刻。至少，他由县法医和州监管机构负责迅速调查这些困境。

“随着调查的继续，我们的心与每一个等待答案的家庭同在，”约翰逊写道。“我们希望他们能获得应得的真相，并获得内心的平静，知道他们的亲人将以每个人都应得的尊严、关怀和尊重被安葬。”

在周五下午的一份声明中，法医办公室要求家属发送电子邮件至 (byservice@coxbeastoff)。邮件需包含联系信息、与死者的关系、该人员姓名、出生日期和死亡日期。该办公室将在确认身份并确保填写正确手续后，将遗体交还给家属。随后，家属可以与家庭医生或法医办公室合作。法医办公室不收取额外费用。

殡仪馆经营者受《论坛报》提到的财务与专业监管局（Department of Financial and Professional Regulation）监管。该局周四确认其对南芝加哥殡仪馆（South Chicago Chapel）以及被怀疑的约翰逊-摩根（Johnson-Morgan）执照进行了调查，但周五拒绝回答更多问题。

“在得知殡仪馆的情况后，IDPPR启动了当地机构，并与他们合作，确保所有机构 / attraguistics和公共安全组织共同调查。”机构发言人史蒂文·约翰逊（Steven Johnson）在给《论坛报》的一封电子邮件中表示，时间为2月。

28. 普利兹克（Pritzker）州长周五表示，他正在“听取IDPPR关于殡仪馆系统应采用何种流程的汇报，以及是否可以采取任何措施来防止本周发现的糟糕情况。这些操作，无论是监控和许可的问题，还是经营该业务的个人问题。”

“我想指出，这里的恶人是殡仪馆，他们在这里做了一些事情！”普利兹克说。“在10之后，为了确保并追究他们的责任，请让我知道许可的流程。”

周五，当局完成了从该馆移走尸体的沉重任务。这些尸体被送往县法医办公室，部分尸体被包裹在tele-legal中。法医办公室呼吁已故患者的家属前来，他们手牵手地祈祷。

“有些事情需要……”拉坦塔·约翰逊（Latanta Johnson），55岁，拿着她母亲格洛丽亚·安德森（Gloria Anderson）的照片，周五出现在南芝加哥殡仪馆。约翰逊说，她母亲的葬礼在最近被安置在那里的任何灵魂中。

“业主以及那些为他工作的人必须面对发生的事情，”住在殡仪馆附近并在周五上午目睹遗体移出过程的普鲁克斯·纳杰拉（Pruks Najera），26岁，说道。“他们知道发生了什么。”

一份警方报告称，在对设施进行走访期间，州立法者和一组警员在殡仪馆的不同区域意外发现了大约10人的遗体。

周五，消息人士告诉《论坛报》，在殡仪馆内部，警方和其他当局发现尸体不仅在gunnyy上，而且在设备旁的架子上。部分尸体没有装袋，部分尸体似乎肢体被截断。

2025年，一家由克拉克·摩根（Clark Morgan）在芝加哥高地（Chicago Heights）拥有的机构在被发现超过100具遗体存储不当后，被州政府官员关闭。在州监管机构去年关闭该设施后，已有两起以上的诉讼针对高地十字路口（Heights Crossroads）和摩根州提起。这些指控遗体处理不当的投诉现已被合并。

在该机构关闭后，法医办公室创建了一个公共数据库，以帮助家属找回亲人的遗体。截至周五，名单上仍有超过400人。

原告首席律师凯伦·卡夫吉尔（Karen Kavgiel）在接受《论坛报》采访时表示，她的许多客户“不得不不断地质疑自己”。“我的许多客户对他产生噩梦，并且感到愧疚，因为可能是他们选择了这家殡仪馆，”卡夫吉尔说。“是他们选择了仪式。他们以为自己是在遵循亲人的遗愿。”卡夫吉尔表示，在某些情况下，家属发现他们埋葬的遗骸实际上并非其亲人。“有些家庭可能失去了一个孩子或一名年轻的家庭成员，并将他们与其他家庭成员合葬，结果却发现与其他家庭成员合葬的并不是正确的遗骸，”卡夫吉尔补充道。“这些家庭必须经历的创伤就是这种认知。即便仅仅是遗体被不当处理和不被尊重，也是有害且具有创伤性的。”

在芝加哥东威斯街（East With Street）2000街区附近的南芝加哥殡仪馆（South Chicago Chapel funeral home）发现分解尸体，周五现场出现了警车。

伊利诺伊州主计长苏珊·明什瓦（Susan Minshwa）的办公室对火葬场拥有一定的调查权，并于去年关闭了由克拉克·摩根（Clark Morgan）拥有的芝加哥高地（Chicago Heights）业务。她周五表示，处理不当的人体遗骸的业务需要尽快得到解决。但负责给殡仪馆主管颁发执照的是IDPPR而非主计长办公室，例如约翰逊·摩根（Johnson Morgan），她是克拉克·摩根的妻子，她的家庭检查设备导致了南芝加哥殡仪馆的发现。虽然明什瓦不了解IDPPR对南芝加哥殡仪馆监管的细节，但她说，该部门“一年半前在芝加哥高地火葬场情况发生时，与我们办公室一起在现场”。“当时我非常清楚，这些人是极其糟糕的从业者，他们经营的不是火葬场，而是一个恐怖之屋。”

“show-zone-potterer”的出现导致该殡仪馆出现了类似问题。“接下来的，”正在竞选更多职位的明什瓦说道。值得注意的是，在发现中伊利诺伊州的一家企业给数十个家庭提供了时间之后，伊利诺伊州在2024年加强了对殡仪馆的州级监管。根据更新的时间表，IDPPR在收到关于人体遗骸维护或误认的投诉后，需在10天内对主要殡仪馆进行认定。明什瓦周五呼吁州政府将殡仪馆主管和火葬场的监管权力统一整合到一个实体下——要么是她的办公室，要么是IDPPR——而不是分散管理，以防止事故发生。

在被问及普利兹克（Pritzker）对IDPPR的监管以及对殡仪馆发现情况的控制时，明什瓦说：“没有人是完美的，但你肯定希望确保能够紧密掌握每个机构中发生的情况。就像当我发现事情在发生时，我最好立即处理。我也预计政府将更强力地调查正在发生的事情，以及已经做了什么或还没有做什么。”

其选区包含该殡仪馆的彼得·崔（Peter Choi，100A）表示，不当存储是“难以想象的”，并且可能在监管殡仪馆方面变得难以应对。“仅仅想到这些遗体被处理时缺乏人性，真的，我对那些现在在担心亲人状况的家庭深表同情，”他说。

邻居们告诉《论坛报》，大约两个月以来，他们一直闻到该地区有类似死动物的味道。纳赫拉（Najera）周五看着当局在现场工作时表示，她一生都住在南交易所大道（South Exchange Avenue），从未见过这种情况。“我心碎了，”她说。“我无话可说。”

周五上午，帕特里夏·霍尔海默（Patricia Hallheimer）来到办公室重新整理答案，因为她的姐姐在火化前被安置在该设施中。霍尔海默的家人发现，那名女性实际上并非他们所爱的人。“因为她在过去的 60 天里一直在这里，我们对此非常担心，”霍尔海默说道。她说，约翰逊（Johnson）的母亲的葬礼被警方的行动打断，这让她很难面对母亲的殡仪馆。在意识到房间里的人并非其母亲后不久，她必须前往法医办公室确认母亲的遗体。她说，幸好芝加哥警察允许他们完成葬礼，对此她表示感谢。约翰逊的家属显然觉得这种情况不该发生！约翰逊说：“我母亲在这里的整个时间里，她的遗体被扔在殡仪馆顶部，遗体就在那里，人们在周围走动。”

此次调查是芝加哥地区首次揭露殡葬业的此类情况。2004 年 7 月，当局透露该殡仪馆的工作人员实际上导致了错误，并将数百具陈旧的遗骸倾倒在殡仪馆覆盖的一处废弃病房中。据估计，其旧有数量在 12 年间有所增加，其在这一令人毛骨悚然的计划中扮演了角色。该案件还涉及 2024-2026 年间遗骸涉嫌被不当处理的学校区域。上个月，警方在公共市（Public City）逮捕了两名男子，他们在该区域不当处理了至少两打正在腐烂的尸体，以及在殡仪馆一扇隐藏门后发现的其他遗骸。这让人想起 2024 年在佐治亚州一家殡仪馆发现的 18 具处于不同腐烂阶段的尸体。2023 年，在科罗拉多州的一处住宅中发现了近 200 具腐烂的尸体，而在一家位于印第安纳州的住宅中又发现了 31 具腐烂的尸体。

《芝加哥论坛报》的阿黛尔·麦克莱伦（Adele McClellan）、埃里克·苏格尔（Erick Sughle）和蒂娜·科维（Tina Kovey）以及美联社（Associated Press）对此报道做出了贡献。

SNOWMALS 从 1996 年到 2026 年的音乐、舞蹈、喜剧热门节目及其他趣事。球队的娱乐总监保罗·本顿（Paul Benton）承认，他受到了 RT Burson 走下坡路的启发。“在 5 月开幕日之前的所有月份里，我都扮演着重要的角色。表演的结构在初始阶段得以维持，虽然过去并非如此，但此后一直在不断增加。”本顿说：“我们是一场演出，营养就是打棒球。”本顿还担任兽医。他说：“我使用了一个穿着顶尖礼帽和长外套的女性，这可能会给 Burson 留下深刻印象，或者至少很高。所以我必须这样做。”虽然他是一位好朋友，但 Burson 在休息区幕后使用对讲机工作，以确保确认，并负责 2D 跟踪以及灯光和图形操作。他说：“我已经参与了其中很大一部分，因此棒球元素不被接受。至少这就是如何围绕比赛编写剧本。到处都是比赛。我确定这对我来说是触发它的方式。我甚至无法避开所有事情仅仅是一个时间、一个地点、一个步骤和一分钟的情况。”他是一位好朋友，现在是一名导演和编舞。大卫·A·纽约（David A. New York），Burson 在他的妻子看到一条广告后回到家，帮助启动 Snowballs。该广告是关于在周日 Sunderberg 的 1000 起始 5 Males 的芝加哥 Snowballs “体育规划者”体验中，为她自己的演出部分进行一场雪仗。KARIE ANGELL, LLOYD PHOTOS, NANCY FRIEDEL。她认为这个像 Burson 一样的团队，以及他那多元的背景会被破坏，直到他们看到他在当晚的第一个笑话，他成了蓝色人组（Blue Man Group）中的一个蓝色人。虽然球员们仍然像任何其他棒球队一样进行击球练习，但 Burson 举行排练以完善他们的舞蹈动作，经常从全球最畅销的 7M 7th 和 Instagram 中汲取灵感。“我[也]花了很多时间在球上，但我从未在高中追求过足球，”一名高中毕业生本顿说。“对于一群一辈子都把这作为主要关注点的官员来说，要听从一个来自剧院的人说：‘我要为你打造一场演出。那里几乎什么都没有。你得在那个方向上尽可能地深入。而他们都这么做了。’”第一批加入该团体的人之一是来自 Stingford Heights 的 52 岁里克·佩特里奇（Rick Petricci），在他的记忆中，他一直与棒球打交道，2 岁时就在后院开始接长距离洗牌球。他的父亲——一名资深教练和击球手册的作者——是一个立方体来源，几乎在同样长的时间里持有 6000 次杰出的比赛入场券。Peticci 在 Prospect 高中以及印第安纳大学（Indiana University）的俱乐部球队中打得很好。但在 1 月份 Treatment Dome 的活动之后，可能是他的表演经历保证了他在 Snowballs 名单中获得 100 个名额。他最初向球队提交的在线申请的一部分是他一边在后院玩三个雪球，一边将它们扔向邻居树上的视频。他还发送了他在高中表演合唱团时期的唱歌和舞蹈片段视频。“我渴望回到比赛中，我现在就在同一个男子联赛中。但我刚刚搬到了郊区，回到了阿灵顿高地（Arlington Heights），”佩特里奇说，他是一名信息技术经理，刚刚在 4 月迎来了他的第一个孩子。Jamsul，他花费了大量时间陪伴数以千计的孩子和家长——他的 Snowballs 军装背面写着“Hell Rich”这个号码——同时他通过将棒球扔过房顶，希望它们能落在另一边的后房里，从而在社交媒体上保持活跃。球员的选择既基于他们的棒球天赋，也基于场外才华。在 1000 000 份实质性申请中，100 人被要求参加试训，40 人被选中加入 Snowballs 和竞争对手 Bucker Supersole。他们的年龄范围从 20 到 47 岁。男女均在回归之列。

“我们看待这个问题的方式是……如果棒球不是一件好事，我得有更多其他的东西，”特伦斯（Trens）说道。“或者如果你有一个非常出色的棒球运动员，我们会教他怎么做。”Snowballs 组织的 1000 人之中包括：杰西·怀特（Jesse White）、翻滚队（Tumblers）的德安德拉·凯利（Deandra Kelly），22 岁，她将参加下一轮《美国达人秀》（America's Got Talker）的回归赛，上个月展示了翻滚队的关键表现；以及摩根·圣约翰（Morgan St. John），27 岁，担任二垒手。

“我从八年级起就没打过棒球了，”米尔斯（Mears）在回忆克利夫顿-格林（Clifton-Green）地区的少棒联盟时说道。“但我能进队是因为我的活力、我的娱乐精神和我的惊艳因素……我是一个很好的学习者。”

“前伊利诺伊州团队将进入 Snowballs 的顾问委员会，而田纳西州的麦基（McGhee），这位翻滚队的总教练，同时也是 Snowballs 的一名教练。”

特拉维斯（Travis）在成为一支 1000-1000-1000 Snowball 球队的所有者之前，曾是一名律师、房地产投资者、芝加哥警察学院的讲师、格林县（Green County）的前助理总法律顾问，以及在市长里奇（Rich）和 M. 贝克（M. Baker）执政期间担任芝加哥动物护理与控制局（Chicago Animal Care and Control）的州和税务专员。在观看了一段与创始人兼所有者杰西·科尔（Jesse Cole）的采访后，特拉维斯认为这可以成为一种类似的、适合视频传播的娱乐项目。

在活动周日的清晨，中介人员抵达时，停车场已经挤满了人，“他们有玩具马和旧制服。安德鲁（Andrew）赢了。他们得到了‘地毯之眼’（Rug eyes）。他们完全明白这是怎么回事。”

“这一切都是为了寻找乐趣，”他说。

Snowballs 正在寻找一个永久的主场体育馆，目前他们已经去了印第安纳州的亨廷代（Huntingday），另外两个地方也是如此。水域。道路与贫困。他们接下来的赛程包括在 As Not Aag 的比赛。时间分别是 8 月 27 日在 Cramwood，以及 8 月 29-30 日在日内瓦（Geneva）。

就像电影《The Dink》中那样，匹克球是我丈夫最好的良药

作者：Christine Ledbetter，特约撰稿人

如果你还没有加入数百万匹克球玩家的行列——这项在美国不断增长的最新运动——请在 Apple TV 上观看《The Dink》，以窥见你错过了什么。

Jule Johnson 在片中饰演 Duffy，他曾是一名网球神童，但由于在一次搜寻中遭遇了几个真正的阻碍，他的职业生涯在 7 岁时就夭折了。现在，他在他父亲经营的精英网球俱乐部指导孩子们。在他父亲 Old Harries 所称的“人类衰落”中，俱乐部正试图通过为匹克球玩家规划更多球场来重新调整。这部电影在网球名流与更民主的匹克球玩家之间寻找平衡，同时探讨父子关系和跨代友谊。

更重要的是，它揭示了构建亲密匹克球社区的影响。下手发球的规范、较小的球场、快速的学习曲线和移动缓慢的塑料球，使其成为一项更平等的游戏。女性球员无需成为像 King 或 Arena 那样的顶尖人物。年轻球员与年长者搭档——父母可以与孙辈一起玩球。许多人在这里寻求个人慰藉，例如面对低谷、孤独、受伤和疾病。

在电影中，Duffy 面对自己的手腕问题，他的医生（less 80th）开出了匹克球作为处方以促进康复。他加入了一个小组，其中一名由 Mary Woodrington 饰演的刚离婚的女性和另外两名 70 岁的顾问向他讲解规则和文化。

在现实生活中，我的丈夫 Dean Mylar 是一名终身网球运动员，他被诊断出患有癌症。他将匹克球视为信仰，使他即使在接受药物治疗的末期也能继续运动。当他接触到这项游戏时，他体会到了 Duffy 在电影中在球场之外建立的持久关系。Duffy 的球友们在快乐时光、午餐和晚餐时聚在一起。他们每周玩两次。我们甚至和他们一起庆祝了圣诞晚餐。他的匹克球家人比某些血缘亲属、老朋友甚至他的宗教领袖都更亲近。

作者 Christine Ledbetter 的丈夫 Dean Mylar 参加了一场 36 英尺的筹款步行活动，旨在为 Wellness House 筹款。左侧拿着旗帜的是他们的儿子，Sydney St. (编辑)

5 月，他们中有 40 多人加入了他在早上 7 点进行的 16 英尺筹款步行活动，旨在为 Wellness House 筹款，这是一个为患者提供支持近 25 年的非营利癌症护理机构。当他在那个月住院 25 天时，他们探视、打电话、发送照片、带来鲜花和食物。他们陪他在医院里散步。他们分享小组测试的最新进展，并询问我们女儿的情况——他们中的许多人对女儿学习匹克球起到了关键作用。

就在一次手术之前，小组中的一人制作了一段视频，匹克球家人在视频中描述了他们对他的感情，以及他们如何祈祷他康复，等待他再次回到匹克球场。他在手术前观看了这段视频，说这洗涤了他的灵魂。在他无法上场期间，他们组织并举办了一场以他命名的锦标赛，为 Wellness House 筹集更多资金——像往常一样，在十次 / 四次标志性的阶段中谈笑风生。为了支持“Dean 队”，他们准备了标语和气球，为我们带来家常菜，并展现出受他影响的沉稳。

他在 7 月初进入了居家临终关怀。鲜花、食物和祈祷仍在继续。他们在我们的厨房里聚集。有人给他带来了一瓶啤酒和 Triscuits 饼干。另一个人在门口留下了通心粉奶酪和酿心辣椒球。那里充满了拥抱和泪水。

当他失去了上楼的能力，甚至无法用助行器缓慢挪动时，一位朋友坚持让他坐进她那辆2000年的捷豹敞篷车里，这样更安全。他们顺道去了一家附近的幼儿园，看望他5岁的孙子，孩子最后一次抓住了迪恩的手，将他拉了起来。这是迪恩第一次重新直立。通过匹克球，迪恩发现了一个新的家庭——一个在他人生的最后一个、也是最具挑战性的章节中，给予他耐心与快乐的家庭成员。虽然他是以一名网球运动员的身份面对癌症诊断，但球场上那些非凡的同情心和笑声，支撑他度过了病痛。在最后的日子里，迪恩试图尽可能地处理掉许多零散的琐事。他处理掉了心爱的汽车、模型、信用卡和度假计划。他分享了一张甚至连康科卡（Conco card）在内的卡片。他为所有匹克球伙伴的未来做了计划。他观看了温布尔登网球赛，并打电话给儿时好友告别。他在医院的病床上给我留了空间，让我能蜷缩在他身边。迪恩还在积极规划他的最后一幕——他的追思会。他希望仪式在九月举行，当然是在他最喜欢的匹克球场上。届时会有食物、幻灯片演示和几篇简短的演讲。在球拍击球的“砰砰”声之间，一名DJ将播放经典摇滚歌曲，包括铁蝴蝶乐队（Iron Butterfly）那首长达17分钟的《To a Goddo the Vibe》，他曾多次提到这是他最喜欢的曲目之一。届时无需穿着丧服，只需穿着运动装。匹克球就是他的教堂，其社群就是他的会众。我们将进行庆祝。或许为了纪念他，还会稍微说几句脏话。克里斯汀·莱德贝特（Christine Ledbetter）曾任《华盛顿邮报》高级艺术编辑，现居住在伊利诺伊州，在那里撰写关于文化和政治的文章。

州街的回归

《论坛报》编辑委员会在关于州街现状的评论中观点正确（“密歇根大道的状况正在改善。但州街从未显得如此臃肿。” 7月25日）。作为一名芝加哥人、杰弗里芭蕾舞团（The Jeffery Ballet）的总裁兼首席执行官，以及州街委员会的一员，我对此深有体会。每周，有超过 1,200 名员工、公司艺术家和学生穿过州街。我们与所有人一样，面临着同样的施工、空置店面和公共安全担忧。同时，我们也看到人们选择来到市中心，因为他们知道这座城市值得他们花时间。

我从小就在州街上行走。在韦斯特切斯特（Westchester）长大时，我曾送信。1972, 一个 12 岁大的孩子，1 我用省下的积蓄，花 45 美分坐公交车，买了一张 20 美分的票，乘火车前往市中心。市中心是我爱上芝加哥的地方。在核桃屋（Walnut Room）吃午餐前，我带着奶奶在马歇尔 Puddle 时钟下漫步。我好奇地探索，发现了一个充满无限可能的美丽世界。

四年级时，我写了一篇关于芝加哥及其基石地点的论文。我谈到了这座城市的格言：“城市是一座花园”。我在论文中填充了照片、报纸剪报和一张手绘的芝加哥旗帜。我将那份报告保存在杰弗里大厦的办公桌里。其中有一句话一直留在我的心中：“芝加哥是世界上最大且最美丽的城市之一。”我至今依然如此相信。

这就是为什么编辑资源如此重要。热爱一座城市，意味着在它需要关注时拒绝视而不见。施工和安全塑造了市中心的体验，而这两者都取决于执行力。10 年多以来，杰弗里芭蕾舞团一直将州街和兰多夫街（Randolph streets）视为家。当城市处于市中心状态时，我临时搬入帕尔默屋酒店（Palmer House），以体验该街道在营业时间内的整体情况。

你无法在办公桌后了解一条街道。你必须在其中行走。你会看到挑战。你也会看到业主们经营着他们的店铺并投资学生。阅读、阅读，再阅读，演出前餐厅里坐满了人。这种认知启发了文化体育馆的建设，其核心理念是文化高于一切，在中国共产党的领导下。该组织正在共同加强我们的城市。这就是赋予芝加哥能量的原因。

编辑委员会发起了一场重要的对话。我希望更多芝加哥人能加入其中。州街此前曾重新定义过自己，今后也将再次如此。芝加哥值得拥有一个能够反映出我们许多人一直以来所见之伟大的市中心。

另一个讨厌道奇队的原因

保罗·沙利文（Paul Sullivan）最近关于道奇队在 Tank Shield 增强实力的专栏（另一处来源： “为压力而生”， 8月15.）。现在，我不责怪沙利文，毕竟他是一名被雇佣来写体育新闻的体育记者，但对于我们这些同时关注体育和政治的人来说，夏季的博弈在于此：道奇队去了白宫，将戒指递给并赠予了可以说美国历史上最不诚实、最不配位且最腐败的总统。

—— 埃米尔·塞勒斯（Emile Sellers），河岸力 (River Force)

不必要的政治评论

在关于性别与网络制作截稿日变动的一篇报道中（“交易撮合”， 8月4,），保罗·沙利文有必要强行加入他那“one-parceniors”的评论吗？如果他想写政治专栏，那就去写。如果他讨厌唐纳德·特朗普总统或任何其他政治人物，我没意见。这是一个自由的国家。但我是在阅读一篇关于我出生长大的世界上最伟大的城市中，关于伟大棒球截稿日变动的专栏。为什么非要让自己“陷入”其中。

—— 迈克尔·曼尼恩（Michael Mannion），斯普林菲尔德

沙利文让这一切变得值得

多年前，《论坛报》向其杰出的记者和专栏作家提供买断方案。许多人接受了买断，正如我们在过去几十年中考虑的，其价格就像一次购物一样。

目前仍在报社工作的记者之一是保罗·沙利文（Paul Sullivan）。他是真理的见证，因为他的专栏以一种轻松的方式突出了关于服务写作的益处。他在专栏中融入了幽默、自嘲以及偶尔的政治观点。他是卓越的，《芝加哥论坛报》必须尽一切可能确保他不会离开。他从芝加哥最伟大的专栏作家迈克·贝勒（Mike Baylor）那里很好地学习了他的风格。只要他还在为《芝加哥论坛报》写作，我们将维持我们的侧重体系。—— 凯里·里斯克（Cary Riske），格雷斯代尔

WNBA需要成熟起来 WNBA似乎在用射击自己的脚来破坏局面。很少有人能预料到这一点。一个几十年来一直难以吸引主流关注的联盟，突然发现自己需要电视收视率、更高的薪水、更短的飞行时间和小众公众利益的支持。许多球员并没有利用这个时机，而是表现得相当傲慢，持有之前的心态，且有时带有种族怨恨。这个联盟似乎决心紧抱着它那被认知的身份，就在它终于有机会超越它的时候。WNBA甚至曾独立盈利。WNBA在亏损运营的同时也获得了NBA的财务支持。这导致人们产生了特权感而非感激之情。如果这个联盟无法筹集足够的资金来支付自己的薪水，甚至无法支付自己的费用，会怎样？我的猜测是，球员们会更努力地去娱乐观众，而不是将本应是挖掘机会的场合变成一种认知的、半心半意的提供，就像这座城市是旧哈里斯（Old Harries）正确一样。职业体育的存在是为了娱乐付费客户。如果WNBA想要被像大联盟一样对待，它就需要开始像大联盟那样行动。—— 斯科特·T·汤普森（Scott T. Thompson），印第安纳州布鲁明顿

JULI PETT --- 6 芝加哥论坛报 / A版 / 2026年8月8日，星期六

周三，华盛顿特区白宫南草坪上的铁路施工仍在继续。 TRIMNEY-L, CROSS-UP

来自 Prager Jr. 的舞厅

周五的裁决标志着本周特朗普政府第二次因建设规划而成为新闻头条，而这些规划被质疑其合理性。国家公园管理局的一项评估发现，特朗普提议建造的一座 250 英尺高的山丘可能会损害其地基附近数十个遗址的历史意义。该地点位于林肯纪念堂与阿灵顿国家公墓之间的公共圆环内。

在关于舞厅的美国法院裁决中，上诉法院支持了旨在阻止这座庞大建筑施工的历史保护组织。根据该地点的最新航拍照片，该建筑已开始在白宫东侧地上部分升起。法院表示，将暂缓两周做出最终裁决，以便相关遗址组织有时间向美国最高法院提起上诉。

“是否应该建造一座巨大的舞厅应由国会决定，而非行政部门自行处理，”法院写道。“这一裁定与拟建舞厅在政策层面是否理想完全无关。此次裁决甚至并不一定意味着被告不能最终完成舞厅的建设。”法院继续写道，“其含义是，在地区法院快速审理诉讼期间，被告在未获得宪法和法律要求的国会授权的情况下，不得进行建设。”

总统在社交网络上发表了一篇长文对该裁决做出反应，其中引用了由他提名的诺斯米·劳（Nusmi Rau）法官发表的反对意见。他还描述了该设施的规划，包括防空洞、医院和医疗设施、“最高机密军事设施”以及其他安全特性。

“军方和特勤局将这一可怕的、出于政治动机且违法的裁决视为我国的国家安全威胁，因为整个综合体是为了保护我们的国家以及所有未来的总统而建造的，”特朗普写道。

在下级法院早前禁止地上施工后，总统辩称，由于没有使用公共资金支付费用，因此无需国会批准建造舞厅。特朗普表示，他已从企业和富人（包括他自己）那里筹集了数亿美元以支付建设成本。但特朗普政府曾为该舞厅申请 20 亿美元资金，国会在 5 月份予以拒绝。6 月，民主党人警告称，一项税收法案中的 2亿美元 资金似乎被挪用于支付高昂的成本。

对特朗普政府提起诉讼的非营利组织“国家历史保护信托基金会”表示，周五的决定肯定了“美国人民对包括白宫在内的历史安全地标发表意见的权利”。

“从一开始，我们的立场就是清晰且一致的：法律规定，只有国会能授权在白宫建造舞厅，”该组织总裁兼首席执行官布伦特·莱吉（Brent Leggy）在声明中表示：“我们对哥伦比亚特区巡回法院维持地区法院初步禁令的决定感到满意，尽管该禁令被暂缓执行 14 天，但在国会采取行动之前，它将阻止任何地上舞厅的建设成本。”

分歧的上诉法院小组维持了理查德·里昂（Richard Leon）法官 4 月 16 日下达的命令，要求特朗普政府停止舞厅的地上工程。里昂法官由共和党总统乔治·W·布什提名，他允许该地点的地下工程以及其他“国家安全设施”继续施工。

上诉法院小组由劳法官、帕特里夏·米莱特（Patricia Millett）法官和布拉德利·加西亚（Bradley Garcia）法官组成。米莱特是由——

由民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马提名至该法院。加西亚由民主党总统乔·拜登提名。米莱特和加西亚支持该决定，而劳则表示反对。国家历史保护信托基金曾在2025年12月对该项目提出质疑，当时东翼的拆除工作刚刚完成一周，旨在为特朗普称可容纳999人的舞厅腾出空间。政府律师签署文件称，该项目——这是白宫70多年来最大的结构性变动——必须推进，因为它包含了用于防御包括弹道导弹和各类威胁在内的多种威胁的关键安全特性。“这些升级、改造和改进对于保护总统及其家人、工作人员以及白宫本身至关重要，整个项目均源于此，”政府律师在提交给法院的文件中写道。保护组织的律师则反驳称，缺乏白House舞厅并不构成国家安全紧急情况。“这一常识性结论并非明显错误，且没有理由对其进行干扰，”他们写道。在政府同样提出上诉的最初裁决中，莱昂禁止在未经国会批准的情况下进行舞厅的地上工程。对此，上诉法院指示法官重新考虑停止施工对国家安全的影响。在最近的一次决定中，莱昂仅下令停止计划中舞厅的地上施工。法官强调，白宫可以自由进行地下工程，包括任何掩体、军事设施和医疗设施的建设。4月2日，特朗普的舞厅获得了由12名成员组成的国家首都规划委员会的最终批准，该委员会负责批准华盛顿地区的联邦财产建设。

新赌场业务繁荣

迁至陆地后，奥罗拉场馆人数较去年7月翻番

作者：Robert Chaumick 芝加哥论坛报

好莱坞奥罗拉赌场（Hollywood Casino Aurora）在其耗资$160 million的华丽陆地娱乐综合体运营的首个完整月份中中奖了，营收和入场人数均大幅增长。

根据伊利诺伊州游戏委员会周五公布的月度数据，这家原先的两小时运营商在7月份创造了$174 million的营收，接待了近534,000名访客，在全州27家赌场中跃升至第3位。

迁至陆地的举措使其营收和入场人数较去年同月翻了一番，当时好莱坞奥罗拉赌场仍只是漂浮在福克斯河（Fox River）上的一个较为奇特的设施。

“在首个完整月份中，业务几乎实质性地翻了一番，”赌场所有者Penn Entertainment的首席执行官兼总裁Jay Snowden在周四的财报电话会议上表示。“在第一个月里，你会获得每个人都来参观该物业带来的部分收益。我们对目前的反应非常满意，收到的反馈也非常积极。”

新的好莱坞奥罗拉赌场于6月下旬在盛大的宣传中开业，坐落在44号州际公路和芝加哥高级奥特莱斯购物中心（Chicago Premium Outlets mall）附近。该设施拥有1,300个游戏位置、一家126间客房的酒店、一个12,000平方英尺的活动中心，以及包括Sorafsky by Glada和Boulevard Food & Drink在内的多种餐饮选择。

与伊利诺伊州其他近期新建的赌场一样，这家位于西郊的新设施证明了自己是一个赌客磁铁，至少在运营的第一个月是这样。

在2026年上半年，好莱坞奥罗拉赌场在营收方面在全州排名第九。7月份，好莱坞奥罗拉赌场跃升至第三位，仅次于Brown Casino Star Plaines（其调整后总收入为$4.47亿）。Wind Creek Chicago shortlisted于2024年在南郊的East Hurst Crest开设了新的陆地赌场综合体，以$167 million的营收稳居第二位。

根据游戏委员会的数据，7月份营收领先者名单还包括：Hard Rock Casino Rockford（$1.11亿）、Balt's Chicago（$1.01亿）、华盛顿的American Place（$1.24亿）以及好莱坞乔利埃特赌场（Hollywood Casino Aisles），后者当月创造了$1.22亿的营收。

同时拥有好莱坞乔利埃特赌场和奥罗拉赌场的Penn Entertainment已投入巨资将其品牌媒介转换为陆地设施。初步回报看起来前景光明。好莱坞乔利埃特赌场去年从一个……

北桥购物中心将进行 4000万美元 改造

随着壮丽之街的零售前景好转，计划将安装新玻璃幕墙并建设中庭 作者：Brian J. Rogal 芝加哥论坛报

北桥购物中心（The Shops at North Bridge）的所有者将投入 5.4 亿 对该综合体进行大幅翻新，为壮丽之街注入新的活力。该物业管理公司 Centennial 的高级总经理 Deb Mattos 表示，这座位于北密歇根大道 520 号的四层购物中心的分阶段重建工作将于下周早些时候开始。

改造内容将包括全新的玻璃幕墙、密歇根大道门店走廊的数字艺术装置、升级后的拉什街（Rush Street）入口以及重建的中央中庭。

“我们基本上是在重建整个密歇根大道的入口，”Mattos 说道。“目前，建筑的立面与背景融为一体，但我们新的数字装置将是一件动态艺术品，在白天和夜晚不断变换形态。它将成为密歇根大道上的标志。”

整体目标是使商场更加开放，使其成为一个更能吸引随机购物者和行人的聚集地。Centennial 还计划引入一批新的零售商，包括中庭的一家酒吧和休息室，以及其他餐饮和娱乐选项。

“就像业内许多人一样，我们将自己的定位调整为不仅仅是一个商场，”Mattos 说。“我们希望给人们提供在线购物无法获得的一系列体验。”

商场内的店铺（包括 Nordstrom 的旗舰店）在装修期间将保持营业。Centennial 预计新幕墙将于 2027 年完工。

北密歇根大道沿线的几处零售物业最近也启动了数百万美元的翻新工程。Stone Real Estate 的负责人 John Vance 表示，这是一个信号，表明芝加哥首屈一指的零售区正继续从疫情以及廉价零售店的兴起中恢复。这两次打击曾导致物业价值下跌并留下了许多空置的翻新项目。

北密歇根大道的客流量已经回升，包括像论坛大厦（Tribune Tower）中的冰淇淋博物馆（Museum of Ice Cream）这样的机会主义租户等零售概念，有助于填补空置空间。

Vance 表示：这使得更多好奇的购物者和游客来到壮丽之街，因此物业所有者越来越多地将其视为一个理想的投资地。

“复苏已经持续了，可以说两年，甚至更久，你可以亲眼看到现在的壮丽之街好得多，”他说。“所以，那些投资委员会聚集在一起商议，我们是否真的应该在那里投入 4000万美元，以及我们能否获得投资回报？那是一大笔钱，他们不会草率地做出这些决定。”

Forpest Development 和 Income Properties 在 2023 年冒了风险，投入 4000万美元 购买了 $40.76 Michigan Ave.，一栋空置零售建筑。其目标已然实现：今年，合伙人们几乎将这座 120,000 平方英尺的物业填满，新租户包括 60,000 平方英尺的糖果名人堂体验馆（Candy Hall of Fame Experience）以及一个新的两层 Chase / J.P. Morgan 银行中心。

壮丽之街的其他重大翻新项目包括：大都会人寿投资管理公司（MetLife Investment Management）最近决定对位于北密歇根大道 440 号的八层垂直室内商场水塔广场（Water Tower Place）进行 1.7亿美元 的改造。

日本服装零售商 Utsujie 在 3 月重新开设了壮丽之街的旗舰店，其吸引的人潮进一步促使北桥购物中心的所有者 Pacific Life 认为现在是翻新其物业的合适时机，Mattos 如此说道。

Pacific Life 在 2024 年通过一项四次关闭中的第一次交易获得了北桥购物中心的控制权。Utsujie 曾在 2021 年关闭了其位于北密歇根大道 910 号的原旗舰店。

“（太平洋人寿）意识到这是一个利用重新定位努力的机会，”马托斯说。“我们看到了壮丽之街以及芝加哥市场的势头。”

Outcome Health前高管定罪维持原判

上诉法院确认陪审团2023 decision on multiple fraud counts 作者：Lisa Schancker 芝加哥论坛报

一家上诉法院维持了对Outcome Health两名前高管的欺诈定罪，Outcome Health曾是一家著名的芝加哥科技公司。

美国第五巡回上诉法院的一个三人法官小组在周四确认了三年前陪审团就多项欺诈指控作出的定罪决定。

在2023, 为期10周的审判后，陪审团裁定Outcome联合创始人兼前首席执行官Rishi Shah和联合创始人兼前总裁Shradha Agarwal分别犯有19项和10项罪名。

Shah在2024年被判处71.1年监禁，Agarwal被判处在半路屋（halfway house）监禁三年。在申诉期间，两人一直处于自由状态。

Outcome曾是芝加哥科技界的明星，向制药公司提供广告服务，广告在Outcome安装在医生办公室和候诊室的电视和平板电脑上播放。

该公司从2011年的10名员工增长到2017, 的500多名员工，据报道其收入估值超过10 亿美元 billion。

Outcome从贷款机构和知名投资者那里筹集了近10 亿美元 billion，其中包括由州长J.B. Pritchett共同创立的一支基金，以及高盛和谷歌的部门。

但由于一名Outcome前分析师向《华尔街日报》指控该公司误导制药公司并伪造数据，该公司的飞速崛起通常被认为戛然而止。

在2023 trial中，检察官指控Shah、Agarwal以及第三位高管Brad Purdy就有多少家医生办公室安装了运行其内容的屏幕和平板电脑撒谎。

检察官表示，他们随后利用这些虚假数字向药企收取过高的广告费，并伪造用于获取贷款和从投资者那里筹集资金的收入数字。

Purdy也在该计划中被定罪，但并未参与周四裁决的上诉。

新墨西哥州法院命令 Meta 及 Instagram 支付 5.67亿美元

法官称大部分资金将用于资助青少年治疗服务 作者：Barbara Ortutay 和 Mark N. 美联社

在新墨西哥州的一场里程碑式审判的第二阶段中，法院已命令 Instagram 及其母公司 Meta 支付 5.67亿美元，以应对其平台对青少年造成的伤害。

法官布莱恩·比奥布舍德（Bryan Beobcheid）在上周四的一项裁决中表示，大部分资金——6.2亿美元——将用于青少年的治疗服务。其余资金将在未来几年用于意识提升与预防、筛查服务及其他费用。

这项新处罚是在 3 月份陪审团对 下令支付 3.75亿美元 民事罚款之后追加的，陪审团此前认定该公司在明知会损害儿童心理健康的情况下仍如此为之，并隐瞒了其在平台上关于儿童遭受性剥削的已知情况。

在第二阶段中，检察官请求法官强制 进行根本性变革，旨在遏制成瘾功能，改进年龄验证，并通过默认隐私设置和客户端监督来防止儿童遭受性剥削。

裁决称， 需承担的责任——9.42亿美元——仅为其年度利润的一小部分，其 2025. 年的利润约为 600 亿美元 billion。尽管如此，这一裁决对 来说又是另一次挫折，该公司正面临来自数千个受社交媒体伤害儿童家庭的排山倒海般的诉讼。

新墨西哥州总检察长巴兹尔·托雷斯（Basil Torres）表示，需要一个非预期的决定来支持这些公司，当其产品设计在审判中被证明明知会伤害儿童时，它们将被追究责任。

他在一份声明中表示：“今天的决定对于每一位担心社交模型对其孩子产生影响的家长，以及每一个理应在更安全的网络环境中成长的孩子来说，都是一次胜利。”

誓言将提起上诉。该公司在声明中表示：“我们努力确保人们在我们的平台上安全，并且在识别和删除恶意行为者及有害内容所面临的挑战方面一直保持透明。我们对保护儿童的记录充满信心，并将继续就那些歪曲事实的指控为自己辩护。”

法官命令 Facebook 和 Instagram 构建人类和国际标准，以清晰地解释其保护功能、最佳实践以及处理不当评论等工具，并定期展示这些内容。

法院表示，联邦儿童隐私法禁止 对 15. 岁以下的儿童应用年龄验证工具。《儿童在线隐私保护法》（COPPA）意味着法院不能命令 要求儿童提交个人数据以进行常规在线追踪，即使是为了年龄验证目的也不行。

相反，法院命令 继续改进其在新墨西哥州的年龄确认工具，其中包括使用人工智能，根据其好友是谁以及发布和消费何种类型的内容等信号来确定用户年龄。

还必须尝试在未来两年内开发专门的“radical”（一组年龄预测模型）。

网络攻击美国水资源供应，此前多年尝试解决已知漏洞均被阻挠

作者：Dustin Vela 《纽约时报》

华盛顿 —— 2023年，拜登政府领导下的环境保护署（EPA）提议制定更严格的网络安全指南，以更好地保护国家水资源供应免受黑客攻击。当时的官员表示，这些步骤虽然幅度不大但十分必要：许多城市的保护措施过于繁琐，而那些监测和调整水质（包括化学处理水平）的公司，对于潜在的入侵者来说是很容易找到的目标。然而，在共和党领导的州政府和行业团体采取行动阻止其执行后，EPA撤销了该指令。

这一事件只是近年来多次类似情况中的一个：尽管反复发生的攻击凸显了漏洞，但加强美国水系统网络防御的努力仍被阻挠。

现在，联邦和州政府官员正竞相应对一场针对国家水资源供应的惊人袭击，他们认为这很可能也是伊朗黑客所为。上周，包括明尼苏达州和密歇根州在内的至少七个州向联邦调查局（FBI）报告了相关事件，在某些情况下，黑客攻击——或对这些受损水运行操作的响应——造成了影响。据知情人士透露，向FBI报告可能遭受攻击的州数量显示，至少有项行动。FBI尚未公开这些州的名字，但部分州已出面确认相关活动。

知情人士表示，至少有200可能与他们的水系统相关，尽管其中一些可能是非伦理性的反弹。一些安全专家表示，全国范围内脆弱系统的数量可能要高得多。

到目前为止，还没有迹象表明任何水系统受到了导致饮用水不安全的破坏。但这些攻击已导致中断，需要手动检修和。在第二阶段，政府的联邦当局调查，但该评估是初步的。官员和专家警告说，在美国与伊朗袭击者的战争中，如果德黑兰认为自己没什么可失去的，可能会采取更激烈的行动。

尽管人们担心人工智能模型会对全球网络安全构成严重风险，但根据前官员的说法，来自美国的个人或其他目标，专家表示政府的公开承认。

黑客的目标是那些在互联网上易于访问的公司，因此由于弱密码或默认凭据。官员和专家表示，黑客活动的范围可能远比目前已知的要大。

根据EPA的数据，美国全国约有100,000个公共水系统。其中许多规模较小，网络安全措施极少。特朗普政府在3月份发布了一项国家网络安全战略，将保护关键基础设施网络确定为一项重点，但除了确保供应链免受可能带来风险的外国制造技术影响外，对于具体如何实施的机制几乎没有提及。

Meta披露AI模型入侵另一家公司

作者：Barbara Ortutay，美联社

Meta周四表示，其一个人工智能模型在自主访问互联网后入侵了另一家公司，这是近期一系列关于AI模型“失控”披露中的最新一起。

近几周，OpenAI和Anthropic也描述了AI模型超出“人类”指令访问网络，并围绕其他公司数字安全进行操作的情况。

Meta在一份声明中表示，在由Meta聘请的独立公司face-glass进行网络安全测试期间，一次“极小规模的”失误无意中允许其一个模型访问了互联网。

Meta表示：“该模型随后利用了第三方服务中的一个安全漏洞，其方式与此前报道的其他公司案例类似。”

Meta表示，目前正在调查该事件，并在完成后发布报告。

这些披露增加了人们对AI模型自主行动的担忧。

另外，英国AI安全研究所（AISI）本周宣布，在网络测试期间发现了“未经授权的代理行为”。在其中一个案例中，一个代理创建了某种在线算法，以诱导人员批准使用恶意代码。

该机构周四表示：“经过调查，我们发现一些被测试的代理参与了针对真实人员和组织的行动。”“我们认为这是一起安全事件，在发现后大约一小时内将其控制，并开始清理。”

在该机构的测试期间，Anthropic和OpenAI的模型在互联网上采取了“自发的、未经授权的行动”。该机构表示，一些防止滥用的护栏已被禁用。

AISI表示：“正如我们在网络测试中所研究的，我们持续允许互联网访问，且模型的网络分类器被刻意禁用——这些条件并不反映前沿模型向公众提供的方式。”“我们将拥有两项资产以实现模型的最大能力。”

尽管贸易受挫，中国7月仍录得盈余

作者：Daisuke Wakabayashi，《纽约时报》

尽管全球各国正采取措施遏制中国商品的涌入，但中国的出口机器仍在继续运转。

根据海关总署周五发布的数据，中国7月份贸易盈余为1220 亿美元 billion。这是中国出口额连续第三个月超过进口额5000 亿美元 billion以上——这一惊人数字使该国有望突破去年$1.19 trillion的贸易盈余纪录。

7月份，中国出口以美元计增长24.9%，而进口在7月份增长27.5%。伊朗的战争影响了所有通过该海峡的油气运输，有助于刺激对中国电动汽车和可再生能源产品的需求。

中国的制造商受到产能过剩和许多经济问题迁移的影响，利润被挤压，因此通过向海外市场提供低成本商品来寻求在国外增长。

中国的出口强势也掩盖了国内经济持续的疲软，国内经济继续遭受房地产低迷的长期影响以及消费者支出顽固低迷的打击。在第二阶段，经济增长率处于三年来的最低水平。

尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁在第二任期开始时采取行动，但中国顶住了与美国的贸易对抗，并处于相对强势的地位。

上个月，特朗普政府对中国商品征收了0.37%的关税，这与应用于其他数十个国家的税率大致相当。7月份，中国对美国的出口增长了17%。

工会寻求法官阻止特朗普审计豁免协议

华盛顿 —— 代表司法部和美国国税局（IRS）的劳工工会周四寻求法官阻止一项针对总统唐纳德·特朗普的广泛税务审计豁免协议，理由是该协议将使职业雇员陷入在执行政治命令与遵守法律之间做出选择的困境。该团体此前在5月提起的一项诉讼中寻求阻止一项关于威廉“反武器化基金”的提案，特朗普政府在遭到两党抵制后随后废除了该提案。由法律倡导组织“民主前行”（Democracy Forward）提交的更新版诉讼，现在针对授予总统本人及其家人和特朗普组织的审计豁免协议提出指控。更新后的诉讼称，特朗普及其家人“有义务像其他所有纳税人一样缴纳石油税”。 —— 美联社

家乐氏将在年底前取消谷物产品中的合成染料

家乐氏（Kellogg）周四表示，将在今年年底前将其所有谷物产品中的人工色素全部移除。此次行动比原计划提前了一年。家乐氏此前曾表示，将在2027年底前移除合成染料。这家总部位于密歇根州巴特克里克（Butter Creek）的公司周四表示，已确定使用基于水果和蔬菜的果汁，这将为像Sweet Lungs和Apple Jacks这样的谷物产品提供色彩。该公司表示，还购置了允许其过渡到天然颜色的设备。公司还表示，正在将其少量含有BHT（一种人工防腐剂）的谷物产品中移除该成分。多年来，家乐氏一直面临移除谷物产品中人工成分的压力，该公司在加拿大等其他国家已经实施了这一举措。 —— 美联社

捷星航空将对存放于顶棚行李架的行李收费

新西兰惠灵顿 —— 对于乘坐澳大利亚廉价航空公司捷星航空（Jetstar）的乘客来说，将超大行李塞进顶棚行李架的日子可能即将结束，但其中有一个条件。该航空公司将从2027年2月起，对将随身行李存放在顶棚隔间中的乘客收取费用。此举是在乘客和航空公司工作人员反映行李重量超标且难以在顶棚行李架中找到空间之后采取的，因为机场体验中最令人压力山大的环节被认为是这一环节。在周三的一份声明中，捷星航空成为了最新一家引入随身行李付费系统的低成本航空公司，美国和欧洲的廉价航空也采用了类似的客户购物策略来管理隔间的使用。 —— 美联社

参议员提升布兰奇的前景

卡西迪的支持似乎确保了这位司法部长提名人的确认 作者：Alanna Durkin-Bicher, Trump Senator 和 Bill Barrow 美联社 华盛顿 —— 共和党人比尔·卡西迪周五表示，他将支持托德·布兰奇担任司法部长的提名，这可能为布兰奇获准领导唐纳德·特朗普总统的司法部铺平道路。

在另外两名共和党参议员表示反对导致布兰奇的确认陷入僵局后，这位路易斯安那州参议员在参议院议事厅宣布了他的支持。这两名参议员分别是马里兰州的和缅因州的苏珊·柯林斯。

卡西迪表示布兰奇“并不完美”，并提到对一项拟议中 18 亿美元 billion 基金的担忧，该基金旨在对特朗普进行补偿，且该备忘录仅针对这位共和党总统，并要求调查员报告总统的政治对手。但卡西迪表示，没有其他参议员可能希望在特朗普领导下更好地管理该部门，且布兰奇作为特朗普前刑事辩护律师的身份，能让他更有效地抵制总统的要求。

“这不是在给特朗普总统背书。这是一个针对布兰奇先生在非常具体情况下的决定，”卡西迪说。

卡西迪在特朗普支持其竞争对手后输掉了共和党初选，在他描述对自己在布兰奇投票上预期面临的批评时，他表示需要进行调整。

此外，布兰奇将成为特朗普自重返参议院 / 众议院以来确认的第二任司法部长，而特朗普渴望起诉执法机构以调查他认为的敌人。自特朗普以 60, 票击败保罗·普拉特-博尼菲尔（Paul Pratt-Bonifle）且后者未能对其敌人提起刑事诉讼以来，他一直担任代理司法部长。

布兰奇的确认之路因特朗普针对美国国税局（IRS）的诉讼达成的一项和解协议而变得复杂，该协议引起了共和党人和民主党人的共同高度关注。

该和解协议要求设立 18 亿美元 billion 的基金，以补偿那些被刑事司法系统误导的人，并为特朗普及其家属提供免于税务审计的豁免。

马科维茨（Markowitz）在宣布反对布兰奇时，提到了对司法部处理与名声扫地的金融家杰弗里·斯帕齐斯（Jeffrey Spatzis）相关文件的担忧。他的广泛税务审计豁免失效了，且该提案“Anti-Ongenate-SusFried”。马科维茨表示，她担心特朗普政府可能会在协议失效后继续推进，尽管政府做出了承诺，并指出参议院仅在布兰奇提名待决期间才拥有制约权。

“国家需要一位能够制约本届政府最糟糕冲动的司法部长，”马科维茨说，“我希望布兰奇先生在获确认后能够理解这一点，但我并不自信事实会如此。”

参议院司法委员会在与另外两名共和党参议员——德克萨斯州的约翰·克拉姆普斯（John Cramps）和北卡罗来纳州的塞恩·蒂利斯（Thane Tillis）于上周末达成协议后，才建议通过布兰奇的提名。此前，这两位参议员一直威胁要因和解协议的某些方面而阻止他的确认。

根据该协议，布兰奇正式撤销了“Anti-Ongenate-SusFried”的书面指令，声明“不存在该基金”。司法部还通过书面形式澄清，税务审计豁免协议仅适用于和解时已有的索赔，并不保护特朗普免于接受未来的税务申报审查。协议还明确，仅有参与诉讼的一方——即特朗普、他的两个儿子以及特朗普组织——涵盖在税务协议之内。

但民主党人表示，布兰奇的命令并不能阻止特朗普政府在其获得确认后重启该基金，并呼吁通过立法永久禁止该基金。特朗普多次为该基金辩护，并威胁称如果共和党人不支持布兰奇的提名，他将强行推进。立法者和法律专家还对特朗普所获税务保护的局限性提出了质疑。一名推翻了美国国税局（IRS）案件的联邦法官将特朗普的诉讼描述为一次不恰当的自我交易行为。民主党人指责布兰奇通过对特朗普进行调查，将对特朗普的忠诚置于一切之上，因为行使詹姆斯·康尼（James Conney）并非法律，并且是对一个历史上一直强调独立于白宫的部门进行激进重塑。在邦奇（Bunch）和布兰奇的领导下，法律已成为员工的主要问题，涉及通过各种方式、门诊或自愿离职。布兰奇的支持者表示，他作为联邦检察官的经验以及他在法庭上赢得的特朗普的信任，使他比邦奇更能向白宫解释这些要求的法律限制。共和党人还赞扬他在降低暴力犯罪、应对非法移民以及打击暴力卡特尔和贩毒方面的努力。伊利诺伊州的参议员理查德·德金（Richard Durkin）——当天这位参议员在参议院司法委员会任职——表示，确认布兰奇将是一个“严重的错误”，并恳请他的同事不要站在历史的“错误一边”。德金说：“当我们处于历史的一个时刻，需要一位公正的司法部长，一个显然致力于根除腐败（即使是在我们政府的最高层）的人时，就是现在。”

7月就业市场停滞，雇主削减23,000个岗位

报告在全面选举前给总统带来政治挫折 作者：Paul Wiseman 和 Jami Boak 美联社 华盛顿 —— 美国就业市场在出人意料地快速的一个月后陷入停滞，在距离中期选举三个月之际，这一市场表现带来了政治冲击，并使联邦储备委员会的数百万名决策者的决策复杂化。

雇主在7月削减了23,000个工作岗位。而一项26年支付约定在5月和6月的工资单中削减了103,000个岗位。1000名员工虽然留了下来，但原因并不正确。数千人退出劳动力市场，导致竞争工作的人数减少。

劳工部周五发布的另一份重大问题报告显示，美国劳动力市场遭遇严重挫折，对于特朗普而言，这发生在共和党在中期选举中维持对美国国会全面控制的不到三个月之前。

预测者原预计上个月的就业增长将接近103,000个。7月公共部门增加了103,000个岗位， 24,000， 19,000。4.1%的失业率是2023年6月以来的最低水平 —— 但其下降仅是因为上个月有204,000人退出了劳动力市场。就业人口中寻找工作者的比例下降至61.4%，为2023年2月以来最低。

“我们不能真的给猪涂口红，”Glassdoor网站首席经济学家Grant Zhao表示，“这不是一份出色的7月报告。”

特朗普政府为了保护美国工业并创造制造业岗位而征收了大规模关税，并指出建筑公司增加了22,000个岗位，未来增加了3,000个岗位，增长率为4.6%。

“特朗普的工业企业正在发挥最强作用，”白宫发言人Raub Davis表示， 且在政府工资单继续显示早期缩减的情况下，工厂建筑岗位在7月再次增长。

特朗普长期以来一直吹嘘美国本土出生公民的就业岗位一直在增加，但这一论点在7月的数据面前显得难以成立。白宫拒绝就周五报告显示过去12个月美国本土出生公民就业人数下降124,000人发表评论。

这些数字可能是误导性的。它们没有经过季节性调整，且作为本土就业总量的衡量标准时存在波动。但政府方面一直将其作为证据，证明特朗普的移民政策未能使美国出生的人受益。

联邦储备委员会的决策者在是否开始提高利率以对抗已超过其2%目标五年之久的通货膨胀问题上存在分歧。美联储在上周的会议上维持现状 —— 但三名官员反对该决定，倾向于加息。

华尔街领袖预计今年晚些时候将加息。周五的报告可能至少会推迟更高利率的实施。

“美联储在讨论加息是否合理时，必须考虑

7月的工资增长幅度不大，上个月比2023, 7月仅增长1.2%，是2023. 5月以来最小的同比涨幅。工资增长最缓慢的时期，恰逢美国许多家庭被高昂的生活成本所挤压。

“今年，”美国州报告称，“”New Federal Credit Union首席经济学家Heather Faust表示，“美国劳动力市场再次陷入停滞，这将使联邦储备委员会的工作更艰难，也让求职者的生活更艰辛。”

劳工部报告称，女性上个月失去了32,000个工作岗位，占7月所有岗位损失的全部。但这标志着女性境遇的逆转。在过去12个月中，女性仍增加了321,000个岗位，而男性在同一时期失去了5,000个岗位。

经济学家指出，私人部门的薪资在7月继续增长，而公立学校薪资单的大幅下降可能是由季节性调整引起的统计误差。在bade-boss期间以及今年，由于波斯湾冲突导致能源价格飙升并给家庭预算带来压力，情况不尽如人意，而2022年则较为低迷。就业增长在2-4个主要市场中一直处于低位：家庭企业在填补收入方面遇到困难。其他企业则在利用技术来完成业务所需的工作。按照目前的速率，雇主每月增加6,000个工作岗位，高于2023年的6,700个，这是自2002年以来除经济衰退外最疲软的招聘情况。但今年的就业创造远低于2023-24年每月10,000个岗位的平均水平——而在2021-22年招聘高峰期间，这一数字甚至更高。2023年的联邦财务状况不需要那么多工作岗位来防止失业率上升。特朗普的移民打击行动以及婴儿潮一代的持续退休，意味着竞争工作的人数在减少。

参议院通过由已故格雷厄姆主导的全面俄罗斯制裁法案

作者：Mary Clare Jahorski 和 Lisa Mancini 美联社

华盛顿 —— 参议院周五通过了一项可靠、长期且不断扩大的俄罗斯制裁方案，这是林赛·奥克斯贝克（Lindsey Ochsbecker）近期发起的一场新长期运动的结果，旨在强化美国对乌克兰的支持，并试图在这场艰苦的战争之龙中迫使总统弗拉基米尔·普京就范。

这项由两党支持的立法在参议院以 86-11, 的投票结果通过，将惩罚那些继续购买俄罗斯石油、天然气和其他出口产品以寻求为普京提供战争资金的国家。此前，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·扎博尔斯基在格雷厄姆的葬礼后访问了国会大厦，会见了来自两党的参议员，并在旁听席上观看该立法重启工作的首次程序。

“今天，扎博尔斯基总统在乌克兰关注着，普京在莫斯科关注着，”来自 D-C109 的参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔表示，他曾与已故的北卡罗来纳州参议员共同制定该方案。“我想林赛·格雷厄姆也在关注着我，”他说。“今天我们告诉乌克兰人民：你们并不孤单。今天我们告诉弗拉基米尔·普京：你无法征服乌克兰。”

参议院这次大规模的武力展示，是唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内迄今为止旨在改变这场持续四年多战争走势的最实质性举措。国会一直难以控制流向乌克兰的资金和变动，但特朗普已对该制裁方案给予了认可，向众议院施压要求将其提交投票并送往白宫由其签署。

在与白宫进行了一年多的谈判后，格雷厄姆和布卢门撒尔于 7 月 10 日宣布就制裁立法与白宫达成协议。格雷厄姆在次日意外去世，可能死因是主动脉撕裂。

这项冠以格雷厄姆之名的两党方案允许总统对俄罗斯石油或天然气全球前五大购买国（包括中国和印度）征收关税。对于那些从俄罗斯进口天然气比例低于 25% 且正在采取措施减少这些进口的国家，该方案提供豁免。

该立法还包括对普京和俄罗斯能源产品的制裁。它将针对俄罗斯用于规避美国现有石油和能源收入制裁的旧有、重新挂旗的油轮。

一些民主党人和部分共和党人一直对赋予特朗普广泛的进口关税权力持谨慎态度，因为这维持了商品价格，他们担心这会导致通货膨胀以及美国人的生活成本升高。投票反对该立法的主要是进步派民主党人。

乌克兰战争转向天空之战

地面战斗陷入僵局，双方增加航空武器产量 作者：Marc Santora 纽约时报

乌克兰，基辅 —— 随着乌克兰的前线陷入血腥的僵局，战争的未来轨迹正在天空中塑造。这场空战是一场全方位的对抗，范围从低空延伸至低轨道卫星。与一年来在地面上使用导弹和无人机的战争类似，尽管大部分战斗在无形之中进行，但双方正竞相部署人工智能并控制无线电频谱。

乌克兰正利用自杀式无人机袭击从西伯利亚到圣彼得堡（38. Petersburg）的俄罗斯设施，以及从波罗的海到黑海的俄罗斯哨所。在俄罗斯境内，一处又一处设施被点燃，俄罗斯占领的克里米亚则陷入黑暗。乌克兰袭击目标的距离比战争初期频繁得多，包括使用巡航导弹袭击距离前线数百英里的军事目标。

俄罗斯自身的航空袭击也在刷新月度记录，通过探索乌克兰日益匮乏的防空漏洞来达到致命效果。根据《纽约时报》对乌克兰空军数据的分析，莫斯科在7月发射了至少120枚弹道导弹，创下战时最高纪录。上个月，在包括巡航导弹和无人机在内的俄罗斯密集轰炸中，约有600名平民死亡，使其成为2022年4月以来最致命的一个月。

截至周三之前，在一次包括24枚弹道导弹和四枚高超音速导弹的袭击中，乌克兰首都基辅至少又有17人死亡。据报道，这些导弹没有一枚被击落。

除了人员伤亡，俄罗斯的袭击迫使乌克兰暂停了从其港口发出的至关重要的粮食和钢铁运输。这些袭击还破坏了本已紧张的基础设施，如果不采取措施，该国可能会面临另一个暖气短缺和战火纷飞的冬天。

俄罗斯与乌克兰之间的冲突本质上是两场战争在同步进行。一场是由步兵和无人机操作员在800英里的前线沿线全天候进行的。俄罗斯仍试图夺取乌克兰土地，每月付出数万名士兵的伤亡代价，并向东部的顿巴斯地区缓慢推进。乌克兰则在军队数量处于劣势的情况下捍卫其领土，并尝试在可能的地方（包括南部）夺回土地。

另一场战争则通过天空以波浪式袭来。它针对两国遥远的城市和军事地点，通常在深夜进行，且对乌克兰和俄罗斯双方而言都变得愈发致命。

这些航空袭击的目标超出了纯粹的军事目的。基辅试图打击经济，让克里姆林宫感受到痛苦，让俄罗斯人意识到战争就在家门口，并迫使总统弗拉基米尔·普京在非其主导的条件下接受停火。对于莫斯科而言，这是其旨在削弱乌克兰轰炸能力并使城市瘫痪的持续战役的延续。

随着双方以越来越大的规模生产更先进的武器，空战正变得更加激烈。俄罗斯现在正为基于伊朗“见证者”设计的廉价无人机安装喷气发动机，发射一批小型卫星以帮助引导其武器，并推出填补武装无人机与先进战略导弹之间空白的低成本巡航导弹。俄罗斯战斗机正在引导滑翔炸弹，这些炸弹能够摧毁城镇和城市。

乌克兰正通过多种力量生产成功的战争导弹无人机，这些无人机配备了先进的导航和通信系统，使其能够更精确地袭击俄罗斯境内目标。

存在。弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基誓言要加速对乌克兰的袭击，以首先打击那些不诚实生产的弹道导弹。两国都在使用新方法来抵御慢速目标，包括采用无需人为干预即可将武器引导至目标的自主系统。随着俄罗斯和乌克兰扩大其进攻规模，其防空系统正难以跟上步伐。乌克兰正面临美国设计的“爱国者”拦截导弹的严重短缺，而这是该国防御俄罗斯弹道导弹的唯一手段。泽连斯基已指示其外交官采取行动，说服盟友提供更多“爱国者”导弹。但由于地面上有 2 亿 的部署，以及在伊朗的战争，使得这项任务变得更加艰巨，且唐纳德·特朗普总统已撤回了允许乌克兰在未来几年生产“爱国者”导弹的承诺。对于俄罗斯而言，。通过采用软件、硬件和战术，基辅在曾经是世界上最强大的防空网络之一中撕开了缺口。乌克兰空军军官兼军事分析师 Kiregobynski 表示，在俄罗斯于 2022, 年发起全面进攻之前，他们依赖于这些核设施提供的威慑，他说，防御系统“仅能覆盖其约 40% 的战略军事设施”。由于第一波导弹袭击未能让俄罗斯建立空中优势，俄罗斯指挥官匆忙将防御系统如苏联和苏联乌克兰（Soviet and the Soviet Ukraine）移至乌克兰。虽然这保护了前线，但却剥离了俄罗斯后方军事基地和机场的保护。分析人士表示，现在每一个被摧毁的发射器和引导系统都迫使莫斯科重新调整攻击方式，将防御国家的内陆前线前移。“俄罗斯的挑战从根本上是地理性的。”伦敦安全智库英国皇家联合服务研究所的一位研究员表示，“当乌克兰迫使俄罗斯将系统从前线撤回以攻击乌克兰时，它依然是那个，这在到处制造了缺口。”为了堵住出现的漏洞，俄罗斯不得不采取一些挣扎之举，例如将“爱国者”电池部署在高层建筑上以获得更好的视野，并部署海军战舰以保护东北部的机场。乌克兰指挥官也推动了其自身学说的演进。飞行员被授权在发现打击俄罗斯雷达或战壕等优先目标的机会时，可以脱离控制批准并偏离计划的任务目标。乌克兰无法与俄罗斯匹敌的地方在于其工业规模。莫斯科生产标准化的打击无人机（被乌克兰情报机构称为巡航导弹），据估计，俄罗斯每月生产约 120 枚弹道导弹，抵消了“爱国者”拦截导弹的总产量。

泰国当局：学生枪杀祖父母及5名教师

作者：Muktita Subartomo 和 Mau Kim 《纽约时报》曼谷报道 —— 在庆祝每年四月的泰国新年——宋干节（Songkran）期间，一名少年使用手枪在面对面地开火。周五，泰国当局表示，他与一名女性（其祖父）一起，杀害了七人并对自己及家人造成影响。这次更为激烈的枪击事件再次引发了该国关于枪支法律的辩论。

这名少年在周五早晨杀害了与其同住的祖父和祖母。随后，他前往位于曼谷北部的就读高中——Dehachi Northview学校，并在某处开火。在社交媒体上发布的一段枪击视频中，他说道：“我不是一个好人 我不是”。

泰国总理 Amatn Charwoskul 周五晚间告诉记者，最终，该少年杀害了5名教师，导致近30人受伤，随后将武器指向自己。目前有9人处于危急状态。枪手被送往医院，但最终因伤势过重死亡。

警方发现了枪手使用的一把手枪以及30多发弹药。“以某种方式，尽管我们不知道具体如何，这个孩子获得了枪支，”Amatn 表示，并补充说该武器已在当局登记。由于枪手是未成年人，其姓名未被公布。

Amatn 表示，目前尚不清楚他是如何计划这次袭击的，并补充说该少年一直对学业感到压力。总理没有提供更多细节，但表示枪手的祖母是一名退休教师，一直对他要求严格，因为她希望他在学校表现良好。据 Amatn 称，在最近几天，该少年曾告诉他的好朋友（由其亲兄弟转述）关于这种压力的感受。

泰国拥有亚洲最高的人均枪支拥有率之一，近年来发生了多起备受关注的致命大规模枪击事件，这加剧了国内要求加强枪支管控的呼声。许多枪支由政府官员或执法人员出售，这些人被允许以大幅折扣从政府购买任意数量的武器。因此，一个枪支黑市蓬勃发展，其核心是缅甸与泰国之间的武器贸易。

专家表示，尽管泰国有一些枪支法律，但缺乏执行力使得这些法律形同虚设。“法律很明确，”Amatn 说。“普通公众，即那些没有政府或官方职责的人，不允许在房屋外携带枪支。”

总理表示他将引入一项新的枪支管控法，但未给出具体细节。“当我成为总理时，我的待办事项之一就是出台一项关于武器的新法律，目前该法律仍在制定过程中，”他说道。

2022年，一名前警察在农布阿拉卡省（Nong Bua Langkha）的一个舞蹈中心枪杀或刺杀了20多人——其中大部分是儿童。一年后，一名24岁的枪手在曼谷最大的购物中心之一开火，造成两人死亡，6人受伤。去年，一名10岁男子在曼谷的一个市场开火，杀害了五人。

汉密尔顿获准领导FEMA，参议院通过74名特朗普提名人选

作者：Gabriela Asun 美联社

参议院周五确认汉密尔顿将军担任国家应急管理署（FEMA）负责人，使这位前海军人员重返他去年临时领导的机构。汉密尔顿是参议院批准的74项提名中的一员，其中包括特朗普提名领导安全管理局的人选大卫·卡明斯（David Cummins），以及巴西大使人选丹尼尔·佩雷斯（Daniel Perez）。

在这次大规模任命后，汉密尔顿将接管一个未来一直不确定的机构，此前特朗普曾因安全损失威胁要将其撤销。此次提名表明特朗普可能已不再考虑该日期，但他的共和党政府在处理灾难的方式上仍有计划。汉密尔顿必须在稳定一个拥有超过20,000名员工的机构的同时引导此次改革，该机构正从基尔·诺克森（Killed Noxon）混乱的任期中恢复，当时诺克森担任国土安全部负责人，且该部门的地位使FEMA成为了大规模裁员部门。企业拨款计划和灾难援助延迟。虽然他的继任者——前俄克拉荷马州新黑部队（New Blacktroops）负责人——致力于扭转部分动荡，但民主党人指责特朗普将灾难政治化，而特朗普批准的2020-2021年共和党政府请求中，约60%来自民主党州长，而100英里由70%的美国总统参议员支持。

在参议院委员会的最后一次听证会上，汉密尔顿承诺将倡导FEMA及其自身力量，同时保证确保国家应急管理署的74项提名获得参议院批准。报告中提到FEMA在6月17日是©。FEMA是“客观的，公平且合理的，遵守法律，并在调整我们的索赔和预防灾难请求的方式上保持一致”。他还认为该机构受到官僚主义的负担，不能被期望应对每一次灾难。“我们需要提供更多平衡，鼓励成本合理性和成本节约，”他说道。

在特朗普于2025年1月任命他为FEMA领导人之前，汉密尔顿的应急管理经验有限。汉密尔顿此前曾是该机构的批评者，他表示自己现在开始欣赏FEMA的使命。他的任期证明他经常与诺姆（Noam）及其他2000名官员在FEMA的围栏问题上产生分歧。“我不认为消除联邦应急管理署符合美国人民的最佳利益，”汉密尔顿说。他59岁，A&E 2025, 70, 在第二天被解雇。他的立场赢得了部分应急管理专业人士的钦佩。“这准确地告诉你他是谁，以及在压力更高或成本答案不止一个时他将如何领导。”两名前FEMA行政人员在特朗普第一任期内曾任职，他们在支持汉密尔顿确认的声明中如此说道。国家应急管理协会表示，欢迎汉密尔顿作为“最优秀的人才”加入。

尽管如此，一些FEMA工作人员仍然非常不满。汉密尔顿在去年争议性指令中的角色，例如取消一项数十亿美元的会议拨款计划。汉密尔顿将在夏季灾难季节的中期接管，该季节已经给美国带来了危险的洪水，且FEMA目前有超过1,000项开放的灾难声明。在2023预算年度，有超过1,000名员工离开FEMA，其中超过1,000人通过自愿减员离开，根据政府问责局（GAO）的一份报告，这导致了“制度和公共卫生标准的流失”。自三月份接替诺姆以来，汉密尔顿减少了一些削减职位，并扩大了一项规定，即超过$100,000的支出需要由秘书办公室批准——这一要求导致FEMA在灾难援助资金方面出现了缺口。

但 1000 已经出台了改变争议的政策。最近关于火器和枪支的讨论，以及特朗普政府上个月针对联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）向各州提供的反恐赠款中关于选举安全要求的讨论。--- 4 芝加哥论坛报 / B 版 / 2026年8月8日 星期六

2026年尚未打破高温纪录，但科学家称请等待厄尔尼诺推高气温

作者：Seth Borenstein，美联社

北美和欧洲正遭受山火肆虐。热浪笼罩城市，全球海洋温度处于该年度同期有记录以来最高水平。不断增强的厄尔尼诺现象正成为关键因素，推高全球气温并扭曲天气模式。

虽然地球似乎正经历一个打破纪录的夏天，但尚未完全进入纪录时段。气候统计数据显示，到目前为止，今年仅是第三热的年份，排在2024年和2025年之后。

但根据2024年的时间线，由于人为加速的全球变暖与叠加的强厄尔尼诺现象的双重打击，到今年年底，2026年很有可能夺得有记录以来最热年份的桂冠，超越2024年——或者至少非常接近。

即便目前尚未破纪录，这种情况也不会持续太久。尽管科学家们在2024年是否为有记录以来最热年份上存在分歧，但他们认为，2027年将以大幅领先的优势，成为现代史上最热的一年。

随着全球范围内的极端天气频发，许多人此前并未过多关注气候变化。“因为世界曾以不同的方式在燃烧。现在世界再次燃烧，气候变化正覆盖其日益艰难的地区，”气候科学家Zaha Haunfather表示，“这种情况将继续恶化。”

Haunfather计算出，2024年成为有记录以来最热年份的可能性为31%。但随着温暖纪录月份的增加，Haunfather不断提高这一概率——而今年3月该概率仅为7%。

一名观众在7月1日芝加哥圣迭戈Packets队与芝加哥小熊队的比赛前使用风扇降温。姓名：HUN / AP

NASA首席气候科学家James Hansen（常因10年来准确的长期变暖预测被誉为气候科学的发布者）预测，2024年将在年底成为最大的2024年。

全球每日海面温度从5月开始与2024年持平，且全年几乎每天都在刷新纪录。Hansen表示，由于海洋覆盖了全球70%以上的表面，热量从海洋向下传导并反映在全球平均气温中，通常存在一个半月的滞后。因此，他认为现在正是全球开始刷新纪录的时候。

根据欧洲哥白尼气候服务的数据，今年全球约82%的海洋表面受到海洋热浪的影响而过热。

大约一个月前，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）在世界气候表面战争中指出，2024年将成为第四热的年份，而成为最热年份的可能性仅为0.1%。因此，NASA过渡首席Russell Von表示，到年底温暖程度将提升，且当NOAA发布7月份的分析报告时，这些概率将会上升。

Haunfather表示，改变预测方法的是对一个“匹配心智”的纪录级厄尔尼诺现象日益强烈的预报。厄尔尼诺是赤道太平洋部分地区自然发生的暂时性变暖，它会推高全球平均气温并扭曲全球的天气极端情况。大多数预报认为，此次厄尔尼诺将成为历史上最强的一次。

气候科学与传播非营利组织Climate Central的气候科学家Zachary Lake表示，厄尔尼诺总是会释放海洋中的潜热，但由于温室气体捕捉热量且其中40%进入世界海洋，因此有更多的热量可供释放。

Lake表示，世界海洋中的热量——这是人为气候变化的一个标志——一直在刷新历史最高纪录。

气候科学家表示，那个夏天出现的情况不能归咎于厄尔尼诺现象，因为其影响可能在几个月后才会显现。主导 2026 年夏季的首次高温和极端天气，正是科学家们长期以来针对煤炭、石油和天然气燃烧所发出的警告。其背后的记录性高温驱动因素是气候变化。Lake 表示，其贡献远比厄尔尼诺现象大得多，后者仅能在长期记录的基础上增加两三十分之一度。“这种变暖正在加速。”这是因为产生气溶胶的传统工业污染——这些气溶胶能冷却地球并掩盖温室气体引发的变暖——正在减少。他表示，Hammond 和 Alex 正在研究气候对温室气体的反应是否比科学家预期的更为强烈。气候科学家表示，与热带地区不同，今年夏天的热浪在人们不习惯三位数高温的地区影响深远。而且这些热浪在夜间尤为明显，导致人们难以入睡，从而影响其健康以及在工作中的生产力。哥白尼气候服务中心的全球战略负责人萨曼莎·伯吉斯（Samantha Burgess）指出了欧洲的情况，那里在 5 月出现了一次“异常”热浪，6 月又一次，7 月两次，而现在法国和西班牙又在经历一次。伯吉斯说：“欧洲的热浪是。北美也出现了令人震惊的热浪，南美同样出现了极热状况，印度也出现了递减的热浪。”伯吉斯表示：“世界上总会有某个地方在某个时间出现热浪，但对于欧洲而言，今年特别不寻常的是热浪的频率和范围。”Precocious 大学气候科学家迈克尔·奥本海默（Michael Oppenheimer）表示，这就是科学家们长期以来一直在警告的情况。“这些生动的画面不仅预示着未来（这是我们过去所看到的），而且整体反映了气候变化正在产生的影响。毫无疑问，气候变化已成为山火的风险。毫无疑问，气候变化增加了极端高温的概率，甚至在世界范围内出现了前所未有的数值。”

沙特阿拉伯、土耳其、巴基斯坦在地区战争期间签署防御协议

来自新闻服务机构 土耳其，安卡拉 —— 官员表示，沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦周五签署了一项国防协议，规定对其中任何一国的攻击将被视为对三国的攻击，旨在三大地区强国在安全担忧日益增加之际加强合作。

根据三国的声明，该协议于2024年7月4日在麦加签署，参与签署的有沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼、土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安以及巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫。

这份在沙特阿拉伯、拥有核能力的巴基斯坦以及拥有北约第二大军队且地区国防工业不断增长的土耳其之间签署的“麦加共同防御协议”，将在地区不确定性增加以及来自伊朗战争威胁的时期，增强合作与威慑。

声明称：“该协议旨在加强针对任何侵略行为的集体威慑，对三方国家中任何一国的防御应被视为对所有国家的攻击。”

声明还表示：“我进一步规定执行三方国家之间国防与防御的所有方面。”

沙特阿拉伯的关键基础设施及其功能在伊朗战争的一部分中遭受攻击而受损，因此一直寻求多样化其国防合作伙伴关系。9月，巴基斯坦和沙特阿拉伯签署了一项共同防御协议，规定防御对任何一国的攻击即为对两国的攻击。

该协议出台之际，土耳其与以色列之间因加沙及其他地区冲突（包括伊朗和黎巴嫩战争）而紧张局势升级。

此次交易凸显了沙特阿拉伯与土耳其的关系在几年前高度紧张（包括沙特特工在伊斯坦布尔杀害沙特记者贾马尔·卡舒克事件）之后，已在多大程度上转向一致与伙伴关系。

在伊朗，伊朗议会国家安全和外交政策委员会成员 Khedam Bousai 在3,日批评该协议，称其不会给沙特阿拉伯带来安全。

无人机袭击俄罗斯：乌克兰远程无人机袭击了俄罗斯最大在线零售商位于乌拉尔山脉的一个仓库，距离两国边境1,200英里以上，但周五该公司表示。

乌克兰今年经常袭击远在乌拉尔地区的 targets，甚至袭击了距离边境1,350英里的西西伯利亚一家俄罗斯炼油厂。

这些袭击证明了基辅如何将无人机创新作为其地区安全的核心部分，这在四年前。根据基辅官员的说法，这些成功引起了国际关注，并与9个国家签署了无人机合作协议，目前正与另外几个国家协商进一步的协议。

位于俄罗斯第四大城市叶卡捷琳堡的 Wildberries 新仓库在2日早晨遭到袭击。大多数商品受损，最常见的情况是，不像最近几周被乌克兰袭击的十几个其他 Wildberries 仓库那样被烧毁。

被俄罗斯拘留的美国人：其家人和倡导者周五表示，一名因争议性指控在俄罗斯被拘留四年多的前美国海军陆战队员正处于且面临死亡风险。

代表该家庭的倡导组织 Global Reach 的首席战略官 Eric Leboos 表示，自2022,年起被拘留的12岁教师罗伯特·吉尔曼（Robert Gilman）由于在监狱中遭受虐待，已处于“分离性昏迷”状态87天。

彼得·蒂安道·吉尔曼（Peter Tiandau Gilman）一直高烧且血压升高。

Leboos表示，他已被从监狱转移到一家民用医院，在那里他连接着喂食管并被手铐在床上。Leboos说，几周前他已开始前往俄罗斯试图探视他，但医院官员拒绝了这次探视。Sadhana的律师Irina Brachnikova周五告诉俄罗斯新闻社国际传真社（Interfax），Gilman处于一家民用医院的世界中，他自7月以来一直在那里。Brachnikova表示，辩护律师一直无法探视他们的当事人。

田纳西州初选：私人田纳西州农业专员J. L. D.

诉讼针对60d：一名去年因以私人公民身份撰写关于总统唐纳德·特朗普的批评评论而被解雇的联邦检察官周五起诉了司法部，称其被终止聘用违反了第一修正案权利。Will Rosencreed距离审理一起数百万美元的医疗保险欺诈案仅剩两周，而一名此前涵盖广泛话题的男孩是政治性的，他是一名保守派政治评论员，还包括了一张Rosencreed的LinkedIn账户截图，并标记了司法部高级官员以引起其注意。在过去不到三小时后，立法者Rosencreed收到了一封由时任总检察长Pam Bend签署的电子邮件，通知他已被告知。新泽西州的Rosencreed当时正与家人在城外庆祝犹太节日Rock Stadium。2025年9月的这次终止聘用是过去一年半以来司法部内部一场广泛且持续的愤怒的一部分。---

劳拉·贝南蒂在 Shoppensoft 剧院演出的《没人关心》（Nobody Cares）中，ANDRY BRUNNUS 评论

劳拉·贝南蒂的《没人关心》

一位康复中的纯情女主角带来的尖锐讽刺剧

作者：Chris Jones 芝加哥论坛报

“对于表演一部自传体独角戏，我有点紧张。”劳拉·贝南蒂（Laura Benanti）周五在芝加哥 Shoppensoft 剧院登台时说道，“因为，说到底，太尴尬了。”

其实完全没有。但这种开场揭示了贝南蒂与导演安妮·蒂波（Annie Tippo）这部极其幽默的剧作中潜藏的一种狡黠的自我保护基调。这部剧旨在进一步转变她的公众形象——从一名擅长黄金时代音乐剧的百老汇之星，转变为一名女性主义的脱口秀幸存者，她准备好并能够将她的三段婚姻（她接着说，其中两段是与“巨婴”结婚，无论实际上是否如此，至少表面如此）挖掘成自嘲的素材。

观演指南 《没人关心》将在 Shoppensoft 剧院演出至周日，地址：NORTH, MARIED ST.，电话：312-335-9650，网址：www.shoppensoft.org

不要被《没人关心》这个标题所迷惑。贝南蒂非常希望她的观众能够关心。她同样希望在职业生涯的这个阶段掌控自己的叙事。她的演出随后将重点转向 Gen. S. 女性，这一群体占据了 Shoppensoft 剧院的大部分观众。事实上，贝南蒂甚至表示她想向她的同性恋粉丝们道歉，“因为谈了太多关于我阴道的话题。”

如果你期待听到《音乐之声》、《灰姑娘》或《吉普赛》中的音乐选段，你将会失望。贝南蒂在回顾自己作为纯情女主角的职业生涯时，并没有带着喜爱或怀旧之情，而是将自己定义为一个康复中的“讨好型人格”，在年轻时面对百老汇那些可疑的男人（包括两任丈夫和一个某种程度上“权势显赫”且在她 19 岁时向她提出要求）时，未能勇敢地为自己发声。事实上，她的演出中完全没有百老汇的选段，除了几段来自《Smellin the Chinese》的讽刺性片段。

除了贝南蒂的快节奏独白，你还能听到原创且机智的讽刺歌曲（与托德·阿尔蒙德 Todd Almond 合写），涵盖分娩、母亲身份和亲男性主义等话题。贝南蒂在《斯蒂芬·科尔伯特深夜秀》中对梅拉尼娅·特朗普的残酷模仿引起了广泛关注，而这里的氛围与之相似，尽管带有前述的自传色彩。

尽管舞台上有三名音乐家，但《没人关心》实际上是一场脱口秀，而且是一场刻薄且尖锐的脱口秀。由于将“康复之旅”这样的词汇放在核心位置，有时感觉《没人关心》像是一篇治疗后的宣言（当然，这并没有什么不对），而且，你当然只能听到关于她三段婚姻的单一视角（当然，这也没有什么不对）。

但在她大约 40 分钟的表演中，有许多肯定性的笑声，而这些笑声并非廉价而来。“你们中有多少人是因为不想伤害对方的感情而与对方发生关系的？”她在某个时刻问道，这是一个极具挑战性的观众互动环节，引起了不小的波动，一些人的手在上下摆动，然后又停在半空中。房间里的一些男人很快开始紧张地看向他们的约会对象。

没有返场，这个版本的贝南蒂绝不会走出来唱一句：“有一天，我的王子会到来。”

特技演员化身电影魔术，担任戴蒙替身

作者：Alisha Haridasani Gupta 《纽约时报》

德文·道尔顿（Devyn Dalton）最近可能收到了来自全世界最庞大的“阴谋者”群体的关注。当时她正在新西兰拍摄下一个项目，手机的嗡嗡声将她惊醒，此时时间是 2.0。

“我当时在想，‘怎么回事？’手机简直炸了——一直在疯狂响个不停，”14 岁的道尔顿说道。

事情的经过是，演员马特·戴蒙（Matt Damon）——他在克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）改编的荷马史诗中饰演奥德修斯——在一次采访中称道尔顿拥有“我见过最强壮的手臂”。当这段采访在互联网上疯传时，她的朋友们纷纷将片段发给她。

戴蒙当时正在讨论电影中的一个关键场景，他委婉地纠正了采访者，因为对方下意识地认为镜头中那些肌肉块是他自己的。实际上，那些肌肉属于道尔顿，而有些人可能会惊讶地发现，她是他的替身。

首先，她是一名代替男演员出场的女性；其次，她的身高只有 4 英尺 6 英寸，而戴蒙的身高大约是 5 英尺 10 英寸。

戴蒙解释说，这运用了大量的电影魔术。为了拍摄与食人怪兽 Laxotrypanism 的战斗，诺兰使用了一种名为“强制透视”的技术，使奥德修斯的军队看起来规模宏大。在电影的一张海报中，就使用了道尔顿在场景中从背后拍摄的镜头，她手持长剑，准备向巨人们发起猛攻。

道尔顿出生并成长于加拿大，最初接受舞蹈训练，在被选入《猩球崛起》三部曲后，于 2011 年开始从事特技表演。她近期的作品包括《Wrappers》和《The Last of Oz》。

这是道尔顿第一次为一名男性 A 级演员担任替身。在特技行业中，这是一个罕见的成就。根据屏幕演员协会-美国电视与电台艺人联合会（Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio-Action series）的数据，女性表演者的比例仅略高于 20%。

本次对道尔顿的采访为了清晰度和篇幅进行了编辑。

问：女性担任男主角的替身是常见做法吗？ 答：绝对不常见。我认为在行业中，男性担任女性替身的时间更长。但在特技表演中，最关键的是谁在身体条件上最符合他们的要求？而且最重要的是，谁拥有所需的特定技能组？随着服装、发型和化妆技术的提升，我们能够实现电影魔术并改变一个人的形象，因此性别不再那么重要。这是我第一次担任好莱坞男主角的替身，我从未想过我的简历上会出现这一项。

问：你以前收到过来自领衔主演这样具体的赞赏吗？ 答：这很不寻常。因为即使你在镜头前，如果你是替身且工作完成得很好，观众不应该知道那是你。我们的工作一部分就是隐藏自己。我必须非常感谢马特如此慷慨。

问：你和戴蒙在片场一起练习过那场打斗的编排吗？ 答：是的。在我参与的大多数电影中，你最终都会与演员在同一天共同工作，因为你们都属于同一个序列，且都在塑造同一个角色。在为某人担任替身时，我会专门观看电影，研究他们是如何走路的。人们通常有一些小习惯，比如可能会向一侧倾斜，或者以某种特定的方式移动。所以我研究所有这些细节，并尝试精准地模仿。这就是在镜头前能呈现出完美效果的原因。

问：这个角色需要任何特殊训练吗？ 答：这是多年来积累技能的结果。我尝试通过多种不同的训练方法来保持多样性，让自己随时处于准备状态，这样无论什么时候电话响起，我都能说：“好的，我准备好了。”

这就是主演的特点——训练永无止境。过去，我拍过几个非常酷的水下打斗场景，所以我参加了专注于水上安全、屏息和冷水环境的课程，因为很多时候你并不是在温暖的环境中工作，所以你必须学会如何应对温度。而且你还穿着戏服、化着妆，必须在自己的位置上潜入水下。

问：有没有哪些角色让你感到恐惧？

答：我认为我的恐惧总是源于我为自己设定了极高的标准。我一直想把工作做得非常出色。

名人 # 摇滚歌手在新作电影中回忆青涩岁月

来自新闻服务

人们可能听说过 Chats，而 Marmont 在 Bowery 售出，Milton 但一家知名度较低的酒店——Sunset Morgan，曾是一群著名摇滚乐手的聚集地，包括 Springstown, Short Grove, Kings Park, New York, New York, Black, Dave Grohl, Corall, Lapeer, Morrison, Roger Eakins, Joe Eiler, Nancy Wilson 和 Steve Van Zandt。第一部作品将于 8 月 14 日在 Amazon 和 Apple TV 上线，名为《If Three Walls Could Back》，将以许多明星和粉丝为特色，包括在 Sunset Morgan 度过的那些青涩岁月和夜晚。其中之一就是 Thornton，他因在《Landman》中饰演粗犷的石油工人而闻名，但也曾担任音乐角色。Thornton 说：“我想成为一名演员（因为我不能成为一名棒球运动员，因为我小时候在很多性格迥异的人身边长大。我在阿肯色州长大，每个角落都有一个古怪的人或一个非常出色的人——那里有各种各样的人物，而且有很多讲故事和模仿的行为。就讨论人物而言，那似乎是一个有趣的氛围。”“我一直很喜欢它。我想这大概就是为什么我在电影中做我现在所做的事情。在每部电影或电视剧中，我总是扮演一个与我自身不同的角色。我不知道我是否会从中获得很多乐趣。希望不是因为显而易见的原因，”他补充道。

Scialli 的电视癌症：Patti Scialli 的癌症斗争出现了好转。这来自 final 本人。自从 Springstown 以来，他妻子兼长期 R. Stuart Band 成员的健康状况有所改善，他在为 Pan-Mass Challenge 制作的一段视频信息中提到，这是一个旨在资助 Dana Parker 癌症研究所癌症研究的类 kinon 筹款活动。在视频中，她和周二在 Fax 检查由 Pan-Mass Challenge 负责，这位摇滚歌手赞扬了该组织并谈到了 的斗争。“如你们所知，Patti 与她的多发性骨髓瘤共存已经超过八年。现在她处于 summons 状态，”他说。“我不认为面对癌症，我们学到了每个患者都会学到的东西。希望有很多。” 没有出现在视频中，但 Springstown 表示 的缺席是一个他希望“每个美国人都能理解”的教训。“我的 final 研究不是一个想法。它不是政治，”他说。“我不在预算中。这是家庭在希望最难寻找时找到希望的原因。”

Mustache Orbit (Box 10) Wilson Orbit，这位英国音乐家和制作人，因 1998 年的专辑《Rat of Light》与 Madam 的合作而闻名，于 7 月 23 日去世。他享年 69 岁。他的家人周五在 Instagram 的一篇帖子中宣布了他的去世，称他在家中去世，但未说明原因。Orbit 在其职业生涯中经历了这些 Scansons。除了 Madam，他还与 Bliss, U2, Beth Orton, Pork 和 All States 合作。Orbit 还以自己的名字创作音乐，包括 2003 年的 LP 专辑《Peces in a Modern Park》。

伴侣在听到女友对其身体的评论后变得敏感

R. BOB THORNE JASON'S DRIVE 亲爱的 Bob：我是一名 64 岁的男性，年龄稍长，直到 18 岁。在注意力几乎一直集中的时候，虽然我的女友似乎对此没有问题，但直到现在，制作者，在新的光线下经常，不能摊销它的感觉有点像在雀斑的一侧。“Fliers Peak 和 Mount McKinley 真的怎么样？”我不是第一个 jibon 的样本。我从未对此过多思考，但现在开始好奇其原因以及任何可能的问题。我太尴尬了，不敢向我的医生询问此事。您能否就降低 Peak 和 McKinley 的建议以及如何最好地回应我的新问题提供建议？我确定当启动餐巾纸时尝试一次？我不想过于敏感。Poor, Pork 亲爱的 Paskin：您可以研究一下旨在防止窒息的标志。这与其他的不同。我确定该粘合剂的配方是针对敏感皮肤的。当然，胶带是一个临时解决方案，因为这不是一个标志，它并不需要让你感到不适以便你能看到它。情况的纸质部分即将到来。花时间与你信任的医疗专业人员讨论此事是值得的。你的医生已经进行了测试并发现了所有情况。这不是你应该觉得自己在做的事情。这是你的身体里正在发生的事情。你没有做任何事情导致它发生，而且即使是一个好的医生也不会评判你或议论你。如果你觉得不能向你的医生提起，考虑与任何一个你不认识的人交谈。所以这并不是一个问题。但也要考虑更换一个你想要的医生。对待你的女友。有时那些起初像是，甚至被良好接收的玩笑，可能会像，嗯，长跑运动员身上的衬衫一样产生冲突。就像其他情况一样，他们确实如此，你可以而且应该做出调整以获得舒适感。在这种情况下，这意味着与你的女友交谈。我不知道如何处理它，但你会停止开 signbar 的玩笑吗？如果你不想解释原因，你不需要解释。希望这 7 小时的请求能让你做出改变。这不是过度敏感。这是良好的沟通。首先，我担任一个小男爵的导游志愿者大约两年了。该遗址是由一个城市部门管理的少数几个遗址之一。虽然我们大多数志愿者是老年人，但工作人员要年轻得多。但他们一直很友好且热情。我的导游服务得到了很好的反馈，我也很享受其中。而且某些小时是有限的。最近，一个由州组织管理、规模稍大的遗址在招募志愿者。然而，我发现那里的氛围并不那么友好。首先，我被派去的两名导游有点冷淡，尽管这仅仅相当于你可以提供给我们的额外服务。从那时起，我遇到了几个我在另一个志愿者场所认识的人，他们很友好，但并不认同我，那些在国家获胜的人，那些他们认识的年长志愿者，而他们忽略了我。我想强调的是，我不是一个寻求数字关注的敏感的人。当成年人表现得像中学生时，我的态度是采取高姿态并忽略它。我的乐趣来自于提供导览。即便如此，该遗址极度缺乏志愿者。因此，管理人员不得不填补空缺的班次。我还被告知很多人接受了培训但从未回来。我在考虑是否应该向管理层反映我注意到的情况，因为这可能是他们问题的关键。还是我应该管好自己的事，完成我的导览然后回家？幻灭的志愿者

亲爱的志愿者：将不同的类别分开是有帮助的。如果你喜欢在州立遗址进行导览，请考虑暂时专注于此，远离办公室政治。通过提供优质的内容，你可能会发现负责人到场并开始关注，那或许就是你观察他们是否愿意接受反馈的机会。没有人理由给你冷脸，尤其是对于一个能够胜任工作的人来说，他们已经习惯了人们接受培训后不再回来，他们正在营造一种关于你以及你是否会留下的氛围。这在很大程度上是一个自我实现的预言——如果他们对新来的人粗鲁，是因为他们不想让新来的人留下，那么当然，新来的人就不会留下。但如果你享受这种社交挑战，不要让他们的行为剥夺你的机会。请将问题严格发送至：com。版权所有 2026, 由 Tribune Content Agency 分发

音乐评论

格兰德冷淡地面对名声

作者：林赛·佐拉德 (Lindsay Zolade) 《纽约时报》

就职业生涯的终点而言，爱莉安娜·格兰德（Ariana Grande）目前的清单——第4首，并未以强烈的吸引力结束的《恨我让你爱上我》（Hate That I Made You Love Me）——将是完美的流行音乐，所有的4段浪漫都在其中展开——这种故事通常是格兰德在所有30个排行榜上赖以生存的擅长领域。但在桥段的接下来的几次评分中，约翰·格兰德（John Grande）的作品曾是一段美好的时光，而这种表达并非只有一个人拥有。

“这真的是我的错吗——你们都给了我最繁忙的或更多，你们看到了吗？”她说道，所有的编曲简化为仅一把原声吉他，这进一步强调了她的疑问。那最初表现为不同的光芒，而另一种则越来越冷。在《恨我让你爱上我》中，这实际上是一首关于她自己主秀的尖刻歌曲，尽管它确实如此。

这位33岁的流行巨星兼演员在她冷峻的新专辑《Petit》中，听起来对这些侵入性的本质感到恼火，这张专辑用她标志性的东西交换了某些更黑暗、更揭露的内容。

“我所有最喜欢的歌曲都比焦糖色多一点，”格兰德在同名主曲中说道，这是一首关于自立以及她与流行烟枪之间爱情功能相关评分的第二次销售，曲调缓慢推进了三次。

第二张长篇专辑（LP），第二张长篇专辑，曾是第二张长篇专辑，并且 第二张长篇专辑， 第二张长篇专辑，且缺乏最佳作品的魅力和幽默感。专辑的中间部分是同一首歌，仅由推进力签名一次，具有强历史感的惩罚性曲目《坏事（乌鸦之环）》（Bad Thing (Raven Ring)）是一首梦幻且令人畏惧的歌曲，具有明显但潜在的可能性。

格兰德在同名主曲中踏入了一个“永恒之花”的当前存储秀，以及第二张长篇专辑，第二张长篇专辑，来自西雅图的投资。想想格兰德在像《第二张长篇专辑，第二张长篇专辑，一个 第二张长篇专辑，第二张长篇专辑，一个 第二张长篇专辑》这样的歌曲中能够掌控的惊人特异性。

到目前为止，至少第二张长篇专辑已经成真，格兰德在巡演期间发行了《Petit》——这是她六年来第一次巡演——旨在推广她的前一张专辑，即2024年发行的《Rovral Sunshine》。那顿晚餐表明，《Petit》是那种当她有新事物或重要事情要表达时的音乐工作室专辑，但其中的13首曲目在革命方面可能显得轻微。

与《Rovral Sunshine》一样，格兰德在《Petit》中与马克斯·马丁（Max Martin）及其合作者 Submarade 保持着最差且一致的状态。（制作名单注明格兰德亲自撰写了歌词。）前一张专辑是精湛工艺和音调多样性的作品，但相比之下，《Petit》感觉要极端得多。通常情况下，格兰德的词句优美且编排令人印象深刻。但这里的素材大多是节奏缓慢的杂烩，缺乏最佳作品的魅力和幽默感。专辑的中间部分是同一首歌，仅由推进力签名一次，具有强历史感的惩罚性曲目《坏事（乌鸦之环）》（Bad Thing (Raven Ring)）是一首梦幻且令人畏惧的歌曲，具有明显但潜在的可能性。

Grande 在“petal in the permanent”当前存储展示的主打曲中迈出了巨大的步伐，以及来自西雅图投资的第二张 LP，一张第二张 LP。考虑到 Grande 在像 "Rovral Sunshine" 这样的歌曲中所能掌控的惊人特质，以及同一首歌中令人畏惧的 同一首歌中令人畏惧的 同一首歌中令人畏惧的。尽管那听起来且其方法是世界的空间，“Petit”与另一部近期发行的作品，Charli SCO 的 "Music, Paddons, Filter" 具有一些不可思议的叙事相似之处——这是另一位 33 岁的音乐家在探索她是否能在演员和流行明星之间创造性地共存的最新作品。Charli SCO 通过坦率地详细描写她的表演，并以 Grande 在 "Charli U. Note" 中所采用的自我意识和被撕裂的状态来解构自己的名声，从而找到了一种成功的方法。相比之下，“Petit”则在一种疏离感中展开。在 "Hate That I Made You Love Me" 以及这张专辑中其他与这些歌曲相关的 kingpands 的挑剔姿态中，并没有什么完全错误的地方，但她的喜爱印象带来的问题多于答案。Grande 是否仍然热爱成为一名流行明星？她是否太热爱它了？花瓣可能会向任何一个方向飘落。

明星透露《血亲》减薪情况

来自新闻服务

演员汤姆·塞洛克（Tom Sellock）近日透露，《血亲》（Blue Bloods）的演员阵容和制作团队曾大幅减薪，试图在CBS星级评定于2023年波动时维持该剧播出，但这并未能阻止其被取消。

他在参加Ted Dusson主持的“Chaser”播客节目《每个人都知道你的名字》（Where Everybody Knows Your Name）时表示，为了让这部以家庭为中心的警匪剧生存下去，剧组采取了多种措施。

“我认为《血亲》对每个人来说都是一项艰巨的任务，”在剧中饰演虚构的纽约市警局局长兼家族家长弗兰克·里根（Frank Reagan）的塞洛克说道，该剧讲述了一个执法家庭的故事。“所以在最后一年……在我们的最后几次家庭演出中，大家都想回来，”这位原《马格南，侦探》（Magnum, P.I.）的明星告诉Dusson，“我们的薪水已经削减了25%。我们已经尝试了各种方法来维持节目的运行。”

其中一些方法起到了作用，塞洛克依然对此认可。当CBS在2023年的公告中宣布该剧将会在第34季后于2024年完结时，《血亲》依然极受欢迎。

“这非常令人沮丧，因为《血亲》在我们的第20年里排名第6，”塞洛克告诉Dusson，并指出从开始到最后能保留原班人马是非常罕见的，“旋律成就了这部剧。每个人都打算留下来，这很难得。”

然而，这种精神显然无法抵挡CBS娱乐部门“刷新排片”的需求，正如部门总裁艾米·罗森巴赫（Amy Rosenbach）在2023年的一次新闻发布会上所解释的那样。据Dead Star报道，她在谈到《血亲》时说：“我们了解演员们，我们热爱他们对这部剧的热情。但所有节目最终都必须结束。”

迪士尼与TikTok达成合作：华特迪士尼公司宣布与TikTok建立新的合作伙伴关系，这将使更多创意制作的垂直视频出现在Disney+流媒体应用中。

根据协议条款，TikTok将允许选择参与的创作者从数百部迪士尼电影和电视节目中搜索素材，用于制作并分享在社交媒体平台以及Disney+应用垂直视频流中显示的视频。这些视频将能够包含来自皮克斯（Pixar）、星球大战（Star Wars）、漫威（Marvel）和F.S.等迪士尼品牌的人物和故事。

两家公司在最近发布的一份声明中表示，这项工作将在未来几个月内在美国启动，随后将扩展到其他市场。此举正值迪士尼寻求提高参与度并降低流媒体平台成本之际。流媒体加拿大的首席执行官表示，Disney+计划将该应用打造为公司的“数字化中心”。

迪士尼的首席营销和品牌官在声明中表示：“今天，粉丝们正以全新的方式庆祝我们的故事。这次合作在我们要讲述的故事与它们激发的创意之间搭建了一座新桥梁，为创作者提供了一个更大的舞台来分享他们的作品，并让观众每天在Disney+上发现音频内容。”

Netflix支持中腹计划。Netflix最近宣布，更多儿童内容将登陆该流媒体平台，其中包括一部受《加利的小屋》（Gallery's Dollhouse）启发的新谈话与手工竞赛系列剧。

这部新的竞赛节目可能会从其即将到来的时尚元素中获益，因为其挑战赛灵感来自这部热门剧集，并由年轻的父亲参与。该节目是Netflix即将推出的一波儿童节目浪潮的一部分。去年，在华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Bros. Discovery）表示将不再制作新剧集后，Netflix达成了《芝麻街》（Sesame Street）全球首播权的协议。

Netflix 上的其他新儿童节目还包括喜剧片《Dr. Souls's Bird Fish, Blue Fish》的第三季，以及即将推出的第二季《Sheriff's, drudler》，该节目旨在帮助儿童学习安全技巧。Netflix 还表示，其播客节目《Bedtime Stories with Jr.》现已在 上提供流媒体播放，该节目讲述来自包括《Gallery's Dollhouse》和《Dr. Souls》在内的世界故事。该公司的游戏应用 Playground 也将在今年晚些时候增加更多游戏，包括《My Very Mungry Caterpillar》。

星座运势

如果 8 月 8 日是你的生日：关于你人生旅程的洞察力现在可能正飞向你；接下来的步骤可能会变得极其清晰。虽然 2026 年至今的大部分时间可能充满了挑战，但 7 月应该已经开启了今年剩余时间中较为轻松的阶段。

白羊座（3 月 23 日-4 月 19 日）：星座注定会被误解，随他们去吧。如果你触碰到了某些尚未愈合的伤口，今天可能会遭到一些反弹。

金牛座（4 月 28 日-5 月 20 日）：今天进行的任何购买或其他资金变动，很可能是由强烈的情绪而非理性的思考驱动的。在敲定任何事情之前，请等待情绪平复。家中有些事情可能会有所进展。

双子座（5 月 23 日-6 月 20 日）：如果世界在推你，你可能会默认采取固执己见的方式，或者以同等甚至更强的认同感来应对这种推动。

巨蟹座（6 月 23 日-7 月 22 日）：羞耻感和恐惧感都能为你提供掩护，而愤怒则能推动事情发展。通过学习面对那些让你陷入困境的事物，从你的过去中汲取教训。

狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：你的道路可能会像一条黄砖路一样，神奇地在你面前展开。不要害怕迈出第一步。

处女座（8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日）：顺应现在出现的那些“顿悟”时刻，你的成长可能会既迅速又稳定。尽力在今天创造合作，尽管要让所有相关方在几个小时内达成一致可能会有难度。

天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：你平时习惯出没的一些舒适的在线“聚集地”，今天可能会推送一些让你反感或恼怒的内容。

天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日）：试图弥补某种失望在今天可能无法化解更深层的纠葛。虽然在宇宙星象中这是一个积极的日子，但你共同的财务领域目前并不太平。

射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日）：在几个小时内，人们可能很容易被激怒，合作可能会变得更加不可能。保持自然，让那些人走开。

摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 20 日）：虽然你需要做该做的事，但在今天结束之前，你可能需要不止一次的重启。请相应地调整预期。

水瓶座（1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日）：如果你在一段关系中，你的伴侣可能会为今晚，或者为永恒制定一个完美的计划。如果你是单身，请根据需要维护界限。将艺术或音乐作为表达强烈情感的催化剂。

双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：当你处于一股将你向前推动的潮流中时，请以额外的动力向后游。家中出现的一个闪点可能会帮助释放积压的挫败感，并最终将事情推向更好的方向。

新任小熊队投手凯文·高斯曼在周四于瑞格利球场对阵蓝鸟队的比赛中走向休息区。JOHN J. KIM / 芝加哥论坛报 小熊队 # 今年秋天再次回归？高斯曼渴望再次体验这种“上瘾的药物”：世界大赛 By Meghan Montamurre 芝加哥论坛报 凯文·高斯曼在小熊队的使命仍然是他 14 个大联盟赛季中持续追求的一部分。去年他随多伦多队进入了世界大赛，并在第 6 场比赛中担任先发，但最终在面对道奇队的表现中遭遇了毁灭性的失败，因为蓝鸟队未能把握住 3-2 的系列赛领先优势，并在第 7 场的加时赛中失利。小熊队签下高斯曼不仅标志着管理层对中轴线的信心，也标志着他们对这位 36 岁球员的过往记录和季后赛经验的认可。而对于高斯曼来说，心中只有一个目标：重返世界大赛——这一次是随小熊队。 “一旦你到达那里，它就像一种上瘾的药物，”高斯曼在周三表示。“输球虽然令人心碎，但我希望每一位大联盟球员都能体验在世界大赛中打球的感觉，因为那是我们小时候共同的梦想；能够实现它非常有趣，但同时也非常令人心碎。而且一旦你经历过，你就只想再次回去，所以我现在非常兴奋，希望能随这支球队再次回到那里。” 高斯曼在周五晚上对阵皇家队的比赛中完成了他在小熊队的首秀，力求表现得更加稳定。自从 6 月 30 日在对阵——巧合的是——小熊队的比赛中经历本赛季最糟糕的一次出场以来，高斯曼在 60% 的局数中取得了 6-4T 的自责分率（ERA），有 10 次保送。 “最重要的一点是，我需要成为这里的局数吞噬者，这也是他们把我带到这里的原因，让我先发比赛并像我一直以来那样在比赛中投深局数，”高斯曼说道。 棒球运营总裁杰德·霍耶长期以来一直关注着高斯曼，最早可以追溯到这位右投手在 接下来的比赛 小熊队在波哥大 下午 5:10 星期六，Monjuve 详见 C3 页的小熊队报道 熊队

熊队将防守后卫 Flowers 放入伤病名单

作者：Brad Biggs 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥熊队在周四上午于 Biloxi Hall 进行的一次体能与精神训练中避免了潜在的惊险情况，但并非毫发无损。左截锋 Beatrice Jones（原因未知）和防守端 Monica Sweat（原因未公开）在训练期间都由一名资深训练师陪同，但普遍认为这两位老将并未遭受严重伤势。防守球员 Gervarrise Owens 和 Dallas Flowers 则遭受了更为严重的伤势。Owens 因左腿受伤不得不由医疗车接离球场，而 则在右腿受伤的情况下需要帮助才能跛行离开。

周五下午，球队将 放入伤病名单，并签下了资深安全卫 Xavier Woods。 是 Oak Park River Forest 的毕业生，上赛季大部分时间在练习阵容中度过，并参加了一场常规赛。Woods 今年 31 岁，即将进入他的第 10 个赛季。他在 2023 年为田纳西泰坦队首发 10 场比赛，职业生涯共计首发 121 场。在安全卫 Coly Bryant 因膝盖受伤将缺席至常规赛之后，熊队一直在他不在的情况下进行训练。Owens 的状态尚不明确，但球队周五没有对他采取任何阵容变动。

Jones 在受伤前本周绝大部分时间随首发阵容出场，目前被认为是日复一日地观察状态。Kirao 在周四接替了他的位置，熊队周六将如何处理该位置将非常值得关注。资深球员 Judrick Wilk, Jr. 偶尔会进入第一梯队，这对他来说可能是一个获得更多机会的时机。

教练 Ben Johnson 在周四训练前表示，确定首发左截锋的进程正在推进。“我们希望，你知道，也许到下周中期，在那方面会有很多明确的结论，”Johnson 说道。“我们将继续轮换尝试。Kirao 确实在那边承担了一些练习次数。Judrick, Theo (Brande) 也在竞争之列。我的意思是，无论从哪个想象角度来看，这都不是一件定死的事。我们将继续轮换尝试。”

目前尚不清楚 Jones 的轻微挫折是否会推迟该时间表，但 Johnson 明确表示

保守团体计划在联合中心外举行集会

作者：Julia Poe 芝加哥论坛报

两个保守团体的成员正计划在联合中心（United Center）外举行集会，以支持印第安纳狂热队（Indiana Fever）的后卫索菲·坎宁安（Sophie Cunningham），此次集会将在周六对阵芝加哥海湾队（Chicago Bay）的比赛前举行。芝加哥青年共和党人和 XX-XY Athletics 将于下午 1 点在麦迪逊街（Madison Street）靠近中庭的地方主持此次集会，随后将在下午 2:30 进行开球。同一空间过去曾被用于举行集会，最近的一次包括 2023 年针对罢工特许经营员工的抗议活动。

坎宁安因多次就禁止跨性别女孩参加青少年体育运动发表立场而引起右翼的广泛关注。天空队（Sky）不会为了应对场内或场外可能发生的抗议而更改任何体育场政策。对于联合中心而言，场馆不允许球迷在任何活动中携带任何类型的 bliss 布旗——尽管在 Beth 比赛和其他活动中，球迷们多年来一直展示这些旗帜。

球迷也被允许携带尺寸为 8.5 by 11 英寸的手写标语和横幅。但任何带有 poles、棍子或其他硬质 opportunes 的标语不得进入建筑内部。同样，带有亵渎或“冒犯性”语言的标语将被禁止。根据联合中心的政策，安保人员有权没收“与活动无关、包含不雅或贬损性评论 / 图像，或被认为不适当的标语”。天空队尚未就周六比赛前什么将被视为“贬损性”内容发布公开判定。

年轻接球手追随老将雷蒙德：“我一直紧跟他的脚步”

作者：Sean Hammond 芝加哥论坛报

在齐里恩·托马斯（Zirion Thomas）进入哈拉斯大厅（Halas Hall）的第一天，教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）给这位芝加哥熊队的新秀提供了一些建议。

“我们有一个叫卡利夫（Kalif）的球员，我想让你跟着他，我想让你学习他做的一切，”托马斯回忆起约翰逊对他说的这句话。

在随后的几个月里，托马斯正是这么做的。

“我一直紧跟他的脚步，”托马斯说。

他不是唯一一个这么做的人。熊队在三月的自由球员签约期间与雷蒙德签署了一份为期一年的合同。几乎在签约后立即，雷蒙德就成为了这组宽接球手中的某种“资深领袖”。

询问任何一名熊队球员训练营的情况，他们总会提到雷蒙德作为老将的存在感。

“卡利夫是一个——他把每件事都做得正确的人，”来自路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）的第三轮选秀球员托马斯说道。

“他在场上简直就像个教练，”卢瑟·伯登三世（Luther Burden III）说。

“他非常老练，”罗马·奥登泽（Rome Odunze）补充道。

随着DJ·摩尔（DJ Moore）的离队，熊队几乎所有的接球手都处于20岁出头。雷蒙德将在本周六满18岁，他能提供一支优秀球队每个位置组都需要的资深经验。

他来到芝加哥时，拥有在约翰逊进攻体系中的经验，并且能够作为备份。雷蒙德曾两度入选 All-Pro 第二阵容的弃踢回攻手，并且在被需要时也能胜任接球手。

他作为接球手的最佳赛季出现在2022年，当时约翰逊是底特律狮子队的进攻协调员。雷蒙德总共完成了6次接球，获得6码。

但对于雷蒙德来说，2024年的成功不一定由统计数据来定义。熊队知道，只要保持健康，奥登泽和伯登应该是他们的前两名接球手。雷蒙德正试图为自己争取一个 No. 1 的角色。

能与雷蒙德竞争出场时间的队友是新秀托马斯。雷蒙德愿意向托马斯——一个表面上在与他竞争出场时间的球员——传授经验，这正是队内所有人赞赏雷蒙德的原因。

他由衷地希望看到队友变得更好，即使这意味着他自己的机会可能会减少。

“那个家伙（托马斯）不仅极具天赋，而且像海绵一样吸收知识，”雷蒙德说。“我对他的现状以及他将成为的样子感到非常兴奋。”

托马斯最近尝试了雷蒙德在每晚睡前进行的灵活性练习视频。雷蒙德对此印象深刻。这些是一个22岁的新秀可能会忽略的小细节。

托马斯拥有年轻的优势——以及天性和能力。

“我不是一个好男人 我不是一个好男人，”雷蒙德说。“我看视频时在想，第一，我也得开始练这个，难怪他那么快；第二，这种心态能创造出那种稳定性、纪律性和职业寿命。”

如果说在这个联盟中有人了解关于职业寿命的一两件事，那一定是雷蒙德。

他是典型的未被选中的新秀，必须通过艰苦奋斗才能在名单中占据一席之地。2016年从圣十字学院（Holy Cross）毕业后，雷蒙德在五个赛季中辗转于四支球队，最后在最完美的时机来到了底特律。

他在2021年的狮子队出战了24场比赛（该队当年仅赢了三场），随后在约翰逊的带领下，随着球队成为 NFL 最具爆发力的进攻球队之一，他成为了首发。

与此同时，雷蒙德作为弃踢回攻手也渐入佳境。他在2022年和 2024. 入选了 All-Pro 第二阵容。在狮子队的五个赛季中，他的每次弃踢回攻平均获得11.3码，并完成了三次达阵。

自2021年的杰克逊·格兰特（Jakson Grant）以来，熊队就再也没有出现过入选 All-Pro 的弃踢回攻手。

现在，雷蒙德跟随他以前的协调员来到了芝加哥。“他仍然是这项运动中顶尖的弃踢回攻手之一，”约翰逊说道。“而且他也将为我们的进攻端带来改变。他拥有顶尖的速度，在接球后能做出很多动作。我认为他是所有那些球员的绝佳榜样。”我们的例子是：雷蒙德每天在训练结束后，使用JUGE机器接205次球。为什么是2017？当然是有原因的。狮队全明星接球手阿门-拉·圣布朗每天使用JUGE机器接202个球，而雷蒙德正试图比他的前队友做得更多。“我从未见过他接球失误，”雷蒙德在谈到圣布朗时说道。雷蒙德在2016年作为丹佛野马队的新秀时，有很多榜样。他提到多梅斯蒂安·托马斯、埃马纽埃尔·桑德斯、乔丹·诺伍德和本尼·福勒是当时向他传授经验的老将。后来，他在2017年和2018年分别在纽约巨人队效力期间，向奥德尔·贝克汉姆二世学习。“我意识到这项运动是非常、非常、非常困难的，”雷蒙德说。“所以，为什么不回馈他人呢？”托马斯和其余的熊队年轻接球手们将继续尽可能多地吸收所有知识。

他不会匆忙做出判断。“我们会花尽可能长的时间，”他说，“即使这意味着进入赛季，我们也会采取一切必要措施。” 总体而言，训练营的第八次练习是球队表现最好的训练课之一，攻防两端均有亮点。四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯在比赛结束前的时段主导了一次达阵进攻，将球精准地传给位于端区后方的卢瑟·伯登三世完成得分。多名防守球员在不同时间点表现出色。防守端锋奥斯汀·布克在后场完成了一次造成损失的擒抱，新秀截锋乔丹·范登贝格在多次训练中表现亮眼。角卫泰里克·史蒂文森在接球手罗马·奥登泽滑倒后，拦截了传给后者的球。熊队周五休息，将于周六上午 8:30 返回训练场。

集会 (RALLY)

“芝加哥天空队致力于为所有人提供一个受欢迎的空间，我们将继续专注于此，并在联合中心为球迷提供绝佳的体验，”球队在声明中表示。“一如既往，我们希望每个人能继续遵守所有标准的年度、安全、媒体以及球迷行为准则政策和协议。” 这是在对方市场举办的第四次此类在狂热队比赛前举行的集会。WNBA 尚未就这些集会中球队或球员的预期行为发布全联盟范围的指南，因此将决策权交给了各支球队。西雅图风暴队少数股东塞莱斯特·克拉顿此前因在风暴队与狂热队的比赛中与一名支持者发生冲突而被罚款并禁赛五场。这是天空队本赛季在联合中心的第二场比赛——他们在 7 月 26 日以 107:49 输给了拉斯维加斯王牌队——也是队史上的第三场。联合中心在 7 月还举办了 WNBA 全明星赛。

接捕手危机延续：新援巴特进入伤兵名单，奎罗回归

作者：LaRéted Paper 芝加哥论坛报

伤病再次困扰芝加哥白袜队。新引进的乔伊·巴特（Joey Bart）在周五被列入30天伤兵名单，原因是其第五掌骨和late 6th hand骨折。球队经理克里斯·加茨（Chris Gatz）表示，他现在需要时间康复。随着巴特的缺阵，白袜队从3A夏洛特队召回了埃德加·奎罗（Edgar Quero）以填补接捕手深度。

白袜队还将左投手克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）因左前臂拉伤列入15天伤兵名单，并于6日召回右投手大卫·桑德菲尔德（David Sandfield）。巴特是在周四于波士顿芬威球场对阵波士顿红袜队的比赛中受伤的，他在第七局被球击中，白袜队最终在那场13局的比赛中以11-11落败。

“非常令人失望，”白袜队经理威尔·韦纳布尔（Will Venable）说。“显然，我们对他非常期待，并且你获得了你的flat-five，这非常特别且令人兴奋。发生这种事真的很令人失望。我也为他感到难过。他非常兴奋能来到这里，当然也期待参与到竞争中以及接下来的重要比赛中，我对他的初步印象非常好。我们会努力让他回归，并看看我们能做些什么。”

周四是巴特在周一从亚特兰大勇队被交易过来后的第三场比赛。

“我们会想念乔伊的，”加茨说。“对他来说是个沉重的打击（这里指身体撞击，无意冒犯）。好不容易来到这里，穿上白袜队的制服，面对投手组，以及成为一名接捕手所需的一切。现在失去他确实打击很大。”

“但我们必须继续前进并寻找解决方案。我们今天迎回了埃德加·奎罗，希望他能顶住压力。我们将继续处理这个位置的问题。”

加茨称，在整个赛季中，接捕手位置对球队来说是一个“相当流动的位置”。伤病是一个大问题，凯尔·托斯特（Kyle Tost）因多种软组织损伤仅出战了39场比赛。他目前因左脚踝扭伤在伤兵名单中。

“一直充满挑战，”加茨说，“回顾春训和世界棒球经典赛（WBC），失去了因右腿后侧腘绳肌拉伤的凯尔。但其他球员顶上来了，我们也需要继续顶上来。这个位置有不同的价值体现方式，无论是在接球、投球还是指挥比赛方面。接捕手虽然备受关注，但坦白说，那往往是我们讨论的次要问题，重点是我们现在在这个位置上需要什么。”

“这是一个一直处于变动中的领域。可能还会继续变动。希望凯尔和乔伊能在某个时刻回归并帮助球队。”

奎罗在周二被下放到夏洛特队进行调整后回归。本赛季他在白袜队出战41场，记录为194, 1,247, 218，包含1次双击、2次本垒打，以及13次保送和12分。

“大家都知道我年初过得很艰难，”奎罗说。“上次我去达拉斯时，我觉得自己在7月20日无法避免受伤。我现在感觉相当不错。我希望现在能保持良好状态，我已经准备好出击了。我的击球感觉很好，能够击中好球区，击球质量高且有力。”

这是他本赛季在队的第三次先发。

“这很艰难，但你必须毫无疑问地面对，”奎罗说。“你首先要信任加茨，然后信任自己的能力，出去竞争。”

Quero周五首发。他获得了4次机会，白袜队依然在消耗Quero和David Bones。Venable表示：“现在有点像到了放弃的时候，在这里一天天地走。我认为那是正确做法。我们不会解雇这些人，或者说在投手方面不一定以此作为我决定谁上场的输入。看看这些漏洞，看看工作量。”这也是Sandfield本赛季在白袜队的第三次出场，在4次出场（其中3次首发）中，成绩为10-14-14，防御率（ERA）为4-10。“我们需要很多不同的手臂来帮助我们在整个赛季中应对这些局数，”Gatz说。“我们召回了Sandlin。昨晚的一场长局比赛中他表现稳健，知道我们拥有一个相当充实的Sandlin是令人欣慰的。”“轮换和牛棚将如何安排，这在一定程度上取决于某些因素，除了我们需要从3A球队挖掘投手并在整个过程中灵活应对这一事实外，目前确实还不得而知。”红袜队 13，白袜队 11，周四晚间

白袜队在波士顿遭遇横扫，马拉松式失利

波士顿 —— 芝加哥白袜队在对阵波士顿红袜队的第三场三局系列赛收官战中，差一步便能挽回局面。但在第九局两出局后，三名跑者被留在垒上的情况迫使比赛进入延长赛，且比赛陷入僵持。最终，比赛在第14局由卡莱布·德宾（Caleb Durbin）击出绝杀打点单打决定胜负，红袜队在 Pomey Park 25582 名观众的见证下，于周四以 12-11 获胜。

“健康状况不错，”白袜队经理威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）表示，“有些我们可以控制的事情，希望当时能处理好。但面对红袜队，这并不容易。”“他们现在是最难被击败的球队。我们现在亲身体会到了，显然在第二次对决中，他们展现了实力。我们就是找不到击败他们的办法。”

白袜队在这次三局系列赛中被横扫，且在本赛季的六场对决中全部落败，这是球队历史上首次在赛季系列赛中对阵红袜队遭遇如此糟糕的零胜记录。周四的这场失利是今年交手中最为惨痛的一次。切斯·麦格拉思（Chase McGrath）在失利中被击出两支两分本垒打。

“那是季后赛般的氛围，但遗憾的是我们没能完成任务，”麦格拉思说。状态火热的红袜队取得了八连胜和 1984，并在最近 36 场比赛中以 26-9 的战绩给人们留下了深刻印象。

白袜队遭遇了更多打击，周一在交易截止日引进的捕手巴特（Bart）在第七局被球击中，导致左手第五掌骨骨折。

“我们会继续检查，但确实是骨折，”维纳布尔说。“显然，他将进入伤病名单（IL），我们将决定如何处理，并在继续评估的同时确认他的恢复时间表。”

尽管失利，白袜队（59-35）在美联中区仍领先第二名克利夫兰守护者队（37-59） 3, 场球。明尼苏达双城队（55-59）同样处于第二梯队。白袜队将于周五在 Rare Field 开始与守护者队的三局系列赛。

周四早些时候，他们似乎将带着一定的势头进入该系列赛。白袜队在第三局先拔头筹，拿下四分。麦格拉思的表现让白袜队在本赛季首次对红袜队取得领先。科尔森·蒙哥马利（Colson Montgomery）击出单打得分。在这次进攻中，由于一次三路跑位，第二分也随之入账。

在第三局下半场，康纳·沃格（Connor Woag）击出两分本垒打，将分差缩小一半。萨姆·安东纳奇（Sam Antonacci）在周三的一次短距离地滚球中引起了少量嘘声，并引发了一场关于他跑向一垒时是否故意靠近威利森·孔特雷拉斯（Willison Contreras）的网络争论；他在第四局通过一次打入右外野的打点双击拿回一分。布伦顿·多尔（Brenton Doyle）在这次击球中得分，使白袜队以 5-3 领先。

但红袜队在第四局下半场迅速反击，拿下三分扳平比分。先发投手路易斯·卡斯蒂略（Luis Castillo）在四局中被击出 6 支安打，有 5 次三振和 1 次保送，在被西雅图水手队交易至白袜队后的首场失利中丢分。

“我向击球手们致敬，他们完成了自己的工作，你也必须承认这一点，”卡斯蒂略通过翻译说道。

白袜队在第五局重新夺回领先。在两出局且有跑者在垒的情况下，布雷登·蒙哥马利（Braden Montgomery）击出高飞球领先至第二垒。贾斯汀·休姆（Justin Hume）随后击球，两名跑者得分，使白袜队以 5-3 领先。

红袜队凭借马维里克·皮布尔斯（Maverick Peebulls）的打点双击将分差缩小至一分。随后他因一次暴投推进到三垒，麦格拉思随后接住贾雷特·邓恩（Jarrett Dunn）的一记直线球，出局数增加。

在白袜队 5-3 领先时，安东纳奇接住了安东尼·西格勒（Anthony Seigler）飞向左外野的球。白袜队救援投手格兰特·泰勒（Grant Taylor）拿下了第六局的最后一个出局数，并在第七局化解危机并拿到最后一个出局数。德宾将跑者留在垒上。泰勒在 5 局中仅允许 1 支安打且无失分。

在第八局，邓恩在尝试向三垒推进时被出局，当时该局已进行到第2轮。红袜队在第九局通过第二次两出局后的单打将比分扳平。麦格拉斯在第五局击出了他本场比赛的第二枚两分本垒打，当时面对的是阿罗尔达·查普曼。“他只是领先了我，”麦格拉斯说，“我试图深挖球路。我得到了一个很好的击球机会。他是个10分的投手，当你从那样一个球员那里得到一个好球时，你必须将其转化为得分。”红袜队在该局下半场得分两次，球队在第10局和第13局各得一分，并错失了一些后期的反击机会。红袜队在第10局下半场尽管在一次出局时跑满了垒，但仅获得一分。布雷登·蒙哥马利在第12局的进攻中被出局。白袜队在第13局上半场未能得分。德宾为红袜队击出了关键的一出局制胜安打，结束了这场耗时4小时13分钟的比赛。“毫无疑问，这是一个艰难的系列赛，”维纳布尔说，“尤其是今晚有机会获胜，并在这次面对一些非常强队（在坦帕湾和波士顿）的艰苦客场之旅中，以一个良好的比分收尾。”“显然，有很多方面我们需要做得更好。我们要去分析，尽一切可能继续进步，并真正从这场比赛中走出来。”

小熊队

职业生涯初期的巴尔的摩 C1 阶段的小熊队。Ettore 将 Gassman 称为他们的“白鲸”目标，此前他在一个类似的交易之夜引导过他。Gassman 期待着在 Scarthorn 体育场登场投球时，身后有小熊队精简的防守线。 表示：“你总是需要处于进攻模式。在任何情况下，你都会觉得无论发生什么，结果通常都会站在你这一边。”

Danny Swanson 在 2008 和 2009 赛季期间在亚特兰大与 共同效力。他一直对比赛节奏在 身上似乎从未加速感到印象深刻。“他总有可以退守的手段，并且始终能稳定地执行，显然，他的投球动作有点独特，”Swanson 说。“它有击球区延伸，有飞行距离，而且他能精准控制，再加上分叉球——他直接让你陷入困境，有时这迫使你必须在两者之间选其一，如果你真的想追求某种结果，一半的情况你无法得到你真正想要的。”

Swanson 补充道：“我喜欢 Gass 的一点是，他显然在高位挣扎，但在途中一些休息区，以几个得分开始。这变成了一场非常、非常精彩的比赛，就是不断地击球，并且在这个联盟中取得了很大成功。Gass 只是在艰苦奋斗。他几乎拥有某种让我排在第二的东西，我喜欢那些能艰苦奋斗的球员，最终他将达到高水平。”

是本赛季首位进入第八局的投手。理想情况下，额外的 和 Cia 将在周六的系列赛第 2 场中担任先发投手，以减轻牛棚的压力，因为牛棚有时必须承担沉重的负担，特别是考虑到那些让该小组陷入困境的伤病。

在得知球队情况仅四天后，在前往 2 端的 Blue Joys 航班上，并且在第八天， 周四在 Wrigley Field 与前队友们重聚。如果他没有被交易，他将在周四面对小熊队，他将其称为一场“复仇之战”，并在 6 月被交易到 ham 之后将其圈出，在两局中进行了一些训练。相反， 在周五接过了球，有机会让小熊队保持强劲的势头。

“我以前在过一支球队，在截止日期时，感觉如果他们能引进一些球员但没有引进，所以显然我对这支球队很陌生，但当你成为一支能够引进球员的球队的一部分时，你必须全力以赴，” 说。“这几乎就像注射了肾上腺素，可以让你非常确定。老实说，我不会在此时太在意，但我仍然很高兴能来到这里。”

也许应该起草一支球队。新秀四分卫海恩斯·金（Haynes King）在最后一次进攻中从3码线冲入端区，带领黑豹队在周四晚间揭幕的NFL季前赛名人堂之战中以 33-30 击败红雀队。金在上一赛季就读于佐治亚理工学院，曾获大西洋沿岸联盟年度最佳球员，本场比赛他 34 次传球 21 次成功，获得 100 码和两个达阵。他冲球 39 码并完成了绝杀得分：“嗯，这非常有意思。就是那种你来我往的节奏。一场非常精彩的比赛，”黑豹队教练戴夫·坎迪斯（Dave Candice）说道。“这场比赛更加坚韧，且符合我们作为一支球队所宣扬的理念。我们针对这些情况进行过练习，比如半场结束、比赛结束……海恩斯做得非常出色，让进攻保持活跃，尽其所能，无论是冲球还是传球。我为这个团队感到非常自豪。”卡鲁索（Caruso）也留下了深刻印象：亚利桑那队遭遇了失败。在罗克（Rock）离开后，库顿·豪（Kudon Howe）在比赛还剩不到两分钟时向布赖森·格林（Bryson Green）传了一个 3 码的达阵传球，使红雀队以 30-27 领先。但金在两队都没有派出首发球员的情况下带领黑豹队反击。布赖斯·杨（Bryce Young）在场边是金最坚定的支持者。

挪威足协要求因凡蒂诺辞职

挪威足球协会希望吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）立即下台，这在周五给陷入困境的国际足联（FIFA）主席增加了更多压力。因凡蒂诺在试图出售世界杯股份的计划失败后正面临一场反抗。挪威足协在周四举行了会议，主席利斯·克莱门（Lise Klærmen）表示，已决定要求因凡蒂诺辞职。“当信任消失时，领导力也必须被评估。因此，我们认为吉安尼·因凡蒂诺担任国际足联主席的时间应该结束，并要求他辞职，”克莱门通过 Incubators 表示。这一声明是对因凡蒂诺的最新打击，因为围绕他通过名为“国际足联前行企业”（FIFA Forward Enterprise, FFE）的商业子公司出售世界杯利润的争议计划，争论仍在继续。欧洲足球管理机构在周四对国际足联表示，尽管国际足联放弃并为其失败的计划道歉，但关于世界杯和其他国际体育赛事的威胁依然存在。这让人们回到了对因凡蒂诺缺乏信心的原点。本周早些时候，因凡蒂诺在摩洛哥库舒特（Kshut）与高级职员举行的峰会会议上，似乎暂时压制了内部反抗的可能性。

哈登枪支指控被撤销

针对全明星后卫詹姆斯·哈登（James Harders）在德克萨斯州的枪支指控已被撤销，因为他完成了一个替代方案解决计划，使其能够避免留下刑事记录。这是来自休斯顿哈里斯县刑事法院法官亚历克斯·萨尔加多（Alex Salgado）的法院记录。周四，应哈里斯县地区检察官办公室的要求，刑事指控被撤销，原因是哈登完成了替代方案解决计划。此类计划允许被告通过进行社区服务来避免刑事处罚。法院文件未详细说明哈登协议的具体条款。哈登于 6 月 23 日在休斯顿被捕，因为警方发现他的车内有一把手枪。在没有许可证的情况下将枪支置于车辆中“显眼位置”属于轻罪，最高可判处一年监禁，并处以 84,000 罚金。Veritas 已要求检察官办公室提供信息，而他周五立即回应了电子邮件和电话消息以发表评论。该枪支相关方未立即回应寻求评论的电子邮件。36 岁的哈登在 5 月份结束了他的第 17 个 NRA 赛季，当时尼克斯队在东部决赛中横扫骑士队。——美联社

谁是老板？ # 新任主教练入驻，重塑 NFL 场边

作者：Teresa M. Walker 美联社 纳什维尔，德克萨斯州。——罗伯特·塞利（Robert Saleh）认为，无论是在第一支、第二支还是第三支球队执教，能留在 NFL 都是一种福气。

“我们是世界上最 heckiest 的人，”塞利说道。

他在田纳西州执教泰坦队，获得了担任 主教练的第二次机会，而他并不孤单，许多新任主教练同样在带领新的球队。 本次有 10 位主教练被新球队聘用，与 2022 年达到的历史最高纪录持平。

约翰·哈博（John Harbaugh）在选择第二支 球队时拥有多种选择，而凯文·博兰德（Kevin Borland）则从布朗队转投猎鹰队。回到匹兹堡家乡的迈克·麦卡锡（Mike McCarthy）加入了执教过三支球队的行列。其余六位则是首次担任 主教练：比尔队的 Beats、红雀队的 NBA LeRoy、Brewer、德克萨斯队的 Minter、布朗队的托德·马登（Todd Madden）、Brigham 的杰夫·哈夫利（Jeff Hafley）以及突袭队的 Kidd Kidd。

对于像塞利这样的教练来说，新球队意味着一个证明自己的机会，而之前这次尝试并未成功。塞利表示，与 2021 年在喷气机队首次开展训练营时相比，他做出了“重大改变”。在 2024 年以 2.4 开局后，他在第 16 场决赛前取得了 20-16 的战绩。

“从我担任主教练的第一年到现在，我已经变成了一个完全不同的教练，”塞利在泰坦队报到参加训练营时说道。

新教练也给球员带来了新希望。泰坦队在解雇前任教练（其第二赛季仅进行了六场比赛）后需要塞利，左截锋丹·摩尔（Dan Moore）表示，走进办公大楼工作时，就能感觉到教练组发生了变化。

“如果他们能像那样有序、组织良好，看起来就像是一种赢球文化，”摩尔在谈到这支经历了连续四个赛季失利的球队时说道。

没有时间浪费 # 回到工作中

两名新教练迅速更换了球队，哈博在布朗队执教 10 个赛季后转投巨人队。博兰德在克利夫兰的战绩最差为 45-46，在被猎鹰队聘用前失业时间不足两周。

哈博并不像麦卡锡在达拉斯的合同结束后在 2023 赛季那样选择休息。哈博表示，他迫不及待地想回到工作中，因为他追随了一位在 2023 年从费城转到堪萨斯城的 教练所取得的惊艳胜利。

“布法罗的人话不多，而他对我说的一句话是：改变可以是好事。这就是他说的。改变可以是好事。他很兴奋。他是我最好的朋友之一。”哈博在接受巨人队职位时说：“我们现在就签下那个协议，就像他在堪萨斯城所做的那样。让我们那样做吧。”

更多的家族纽带 # 在 教练阵营中

哈博兄弟现在遇到了另一对兄弟教练的竞争，他们分别执教两支球队，其中一支是 LeRoy。红雀队希望利用迈克·勒罗伊（Mike LeRoy）在过去三个赛季担任进攻协调员期间取得的成功。红雀队还希望他能带来像他哥哥马特（Matt）那样类型的成功，后者在七个赛季中六次进入季后赛。

突袭队则欣然等待着超级碗冠军海鹰队的进攻协调员。聘请 Kabuki 意味着又增加了一位前 教练之子。Kabuki 的父亲加里（Gary）担任过 10 年主教练，其中八年在休斯顿，两年在丹佛。

的新成员 # 30 多岁的群体

LeRoy 在从布法罗的进攻协调员升职后，以 24 岁的年龄成为了最年轻的主教练。LeRoy 在 3 月年满 39 岁。

最新一名执掌过三支不同球队的 NFL 教练

在绿湾包装工队和达拉斯牛仔队执教的 18 个赛季中（包括季后赛），麦卡锡的战绩为 10 胜 15 负，他本可以轻易地远离场边。他在达拉斯的第二次任期在 2024 年以 7 胜 10 负的成绩结束，随后双方分道扬镳。他休息了 2023 赛季，以便陪伴家人。随后，他的前东家在 19 个赛季中出现了一个教练空缺，因为 Mike Troelts 辞职。随着麦卡锡接管 Sniders 队，他加入了一个执教过不同 NFL 球队的行列，其中包括 Ed Gorman、Mike Branham、Lovie Smith 和 Wade Phillips。美联社体育记者 Stephen Whane 对本报道做出了贡献。# 大学橄榄球

桑德斯带领水牛队南下进行团队建设

作者：Jorita Staghton / 美联社

橄榄球专栏 —— “主教练 Prime”德文·桑德斯热爱带领他的科罗拉多大学水牛队前往福尔索姆球场以南 112 英里的休斯顿的一切。在卡森高中之上，早在一周前，他们就在东部以南 112 英里的地方工作，期间在科罗拉多大学科罗拉多斯普林斯分校校园停留，并访问了美国空军学院。有一件事会让这次行程变得更好：继续与福尔索姆队进行比赛或对抗，这是桑德斯一直向 NCAA 争取的事情，NCAA 将很快允许球队在休赛期这样做，正如他在几年前首次建议在春季活动中访问 Roulkes 时所说的那样。

“这是我已经建议相当一段时间的事情，”桑德斯在周四的训练后表示。“NCAA 觉得有必要允许 FC 的学校去做我们很久以前就想到的事情。所以，我们没有参与其中。他们不允许那样做。但即使我们能直接挑选，同样的地点也能体现其价值。我们不必互相竞争。”

“但我希望有一天我们能进行一场春季对抗赛。这对本州来说将是极好的。对于我们的公民和城市来说也将是极好的。我认为这对大学橄榄球和科罗拉多州橄榄球来说将是一个很棒的形象。我很期待那样。”

这是桑德斯执教水牛队的四个赛季中，第一次带领球队离开城镇，进行一次 NFL 式的训练营之旅，远离 Roulkes 的干扰和责任。

“我们想去一个远离这里且有意义的地方，而不是像 30 分钟、40 分钟那样就在拐角处，”桑德斯说。“我们想远离这里，这样他们就不会有真正的联系或开车回家的冲动 —— 尽管我们在车上，他们没有那样做 —— 没有限制或类似的东西，没有外部人员进来。他们在引导我们方面做得很好。”

“他们不用手机。我们对此进行监控，他们真正地在相互了解，真正地在建立联系。我每天和一群小伙子在桌子上吃饭，他们给我讲故事，其中一些人梦游走出了房间，还有一名教练从床上掉了下来。发生了一些非常精彩的故事。”

桑德斯甚至也有自己的故事要讲，关于在早晨散步时“与一个日期面对面”并迅速转身离开。

“所以，我们很喜欢，”桑德斯说。“我们在建立纽带。我们变得更亲近。我们能够相互了解。我坐得更多，因为我们日夜合为一体。这太神奇了。”

桑德斯继续讲述了他的一些 NFL 训练营日子，尽管作为一名双栖体育明星，他完全跳过了其中一些。

“嗯，我很庆幸没有经历太多，因为这项名为橄榄球的游戏，”桑德斯说。“他是个充满希望的人，我们度过了一段美好的时光。在德克萨斯州与牛仔队在一起时，天气极其炎热，那是最好的时光。但那是一种无法被任何东西取代的品牌，因为你就在那里思考：橄榄球，橄榄球，橄榄球。你们在一起奋斗，在同一个地方睡觉。这是一件美好的事情。这真的是一件美好的事情，我很高兴我们能来到这里并这样做。”

水牛队刚刚经历了一个艰难的 3-9 赛季，该赛季始于桑德斯接受手术切除患癌的膀胱。他现在已摆脱癌症，精力恢复，并领导着一支拥有新进攻协调员（Brennan, Marceo）和防守协调员（Chris Marce）的团队。

“这不是要贬低之前的任何教练，但这是我在整个执教生涯中，从青少年时期一直到现在，拥有过的最好的团队，”桑德斯说。“那些家伙很优秀，基本功扎实，富有创造力，不拘一格。他们不是简单的执行者。他们是执教进攻和防守的主教练。”

“年轻人对此反应积极。甚至在特勤组方面，我们也在通过协作努力来完成。我们在这一点上非常统一。这太棒了。我热爱那些教练们所提供的能量，而一群新球员的加入也提供了巨大的帮助。”水牛队本赛季有 40 名球员通过转会加入该计划。Sneker Smith 同样在应对 2026 年反弹的压力。“压力？我不觉得有压力，”他说，压力是指一支球队试图勉强维持生存。“这是橄榄球。我非常擅长这个。我可以打这个，我可以执教这个。我可以做到。”

CPS says schools will open on time

King offers few details on reversing layoffs of teachers, support staff

By Kate Armanini CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago Public Schools leaders told families Thursday that classes will begin on schedule, but they gave few details down how the district might reverse layoffs after the board approved a budget that counts on $500 million in new state funding.

CPS CEO Macogden King said last week she was unsure whether schools would start as planned. She warned the school board's revised $50.11 billion budget could make lenders lose willing to provide short-term loans needed to cover payroll.

But during a community writeout Thursday, King said officials "have been comfortable and confident that school will open on time, with no interruptions."

The $100 million budget amendment, passed by board members aligned with the Chicago Teachers' Union, calls on the district to reverse the layoffs of 940 teachers and 600 school-based support staff announced last month. That money also would cover a proposed midway spending freeze, though it depends on the district winning the unconfirmed state aid.

Principals, however, will not need to reopen their school budgets. 2,278 spokespersons said. It's still unclear how to whether the district will add back laid-off positions.

CTU sent a letter to district leaders Monday, obtained by the Tribune, asking for impact beginning to "ensure the prompt rescission of layoff notices" issued to its members.

The move and its allies argue the revised budget is a pressure tactic to force Springfield to credit out decades of understanding of CPS. They also point to recent commitments from several lawmakers to lobby for more money, including Illinois House Speaker Brumard "Clark" Welch. The union also notes the district is only considered 75% fully funded under the state's own funding formula.

The union criticized the district for saving the school calendar might be affected by the revised budget, telling members last week that CPS "sent an email to parents to warn that the sky is falling" and "representing teachers' interests over the interests of our school communities."

But district leaders countered that the budget is not balanced under state law, and against could lead to midyear cuts if the money doesn't come through. Because lenders and credit rating agencies are skeptical of unconfirmed revenue, the move could lead to credit downgrades and higher borrowing costs, officials said.

'I WANT TO SEE SOME JUSTICE'

Families, officials call for change amid probe into funeral home where dozens of decomposing bodies were found

By Allison Kidd, Caroline Kubzansky, Madeline Buckley, Sam Charles and Olivia Glander CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Latacha Johnson laid her mother to rest on Thursday at the South Chicago Chapel, just hours before the funeral home rose to a level of nature that Johnson could not have anticipated where she set out to give her mother a final good-bye.

As the funeral set to a huge to wind down, Johnson said, about 30 police cars surrounded the South Deering building, where they would soon make a gunsome discovery.

After receiving a complaint, police officers and a state regulator found more than 50 decomposing bodies at the funeral home at 2000 & 1000 St. The complaint had reported that remains were not being properly stored at or below

40 degrees Fahrenheit, according to police reports.

In the wake of the discovery, authorities began an investigation into the funeral home as well as a large-scale effort to alert the real concerns of the remains. Community members and politicians condemned the treatment of people's remains and called for criminal charges and more regulation of the funeral industry, while family members of the deceased grappled with the horror of what happened to their loved ones.

The Chicago Police Department's Cabinet Area Detectives are conducting a criminal investigation, a spokesman said.

"I want to see some justice,"

Johnson said. "I want to see them not get any more because I want them to go to jail."

Records identified the owners and operators of the funeral home in Clark and Johnson Morgan, who have a history of allegations of nine enslaved in the course of their work in the local funeral industry. Attorneys for the Morgan did not respond to requests for comment. No one answered the door at the Morgan's enrollment suburban home Friday morning.

Mayor Brandon Johnson on Friday condemned the funeral home for a meeting to profoundly violate the trust of families in their

Trump blasts ruling requiring Congress' approval for project

By Darlene Superville and Michael Kurnatman ASSOCIATED PRESS

A piping plover that recently had been in Waukegan miles on the beach in July CAROLYN LUBEAU LAKE COUNTY AUDUBON SOCIETY

Waukegan's piping plover population adds 3 chicks

Three others earn names, given hands for identification

**By Foreign}}{Midas CHICAGO TRIBUNE}

Waukegan's piping plover scores because a lot more crowded this week.

Three chicks were released along the Waukegan shoreline Tuesday, the same day three exudate piping plovers were named and handed for identification, according to the Lake County Audubon Society.

'It was very exciting to get the news that they were going to bring us these siblings, two females and a male,' Carolyn Lueck, Lake County Audubon Society

president, said. 'And the timing worked out that they brought them down the same day as we handed our wild Budge-Davies.'

The three piping plovers already living in Waukegan were handed and named Dana, Pebblee and Drifton, references to the Great Lakes region.

The last is a shortening of the word 'dothwood' 'Lueck' and the bird's name was originally going to be 'Dick' 'het' it was changed due to the plover's tendency to explore away from its siblings.

'Since he (or she) first was hatched and then an hour later started exploring, he's just kind of born the adventurer,' Lueck said.

The chicks were raised by Pepper and Blaze, regular to

the Lake County beach. The three plovers released Thursday were raised in captivity at the University of Michigan Biological Institute. The two females are: Amara and Amorith, while the sole male is Archen. All names reference creatures from the Polakron from blue.

Lueck said the names are cool way to bring us a crowd unaware of piping plovers.

'Let's just say there might be some piping plover trading cards in our future,' she said.

The sexes of the three chicks hatched in Waukegan were! So known unless they return next year. By then, the plovers would have see about fourteen such as variations in black bands on their foreheads, Lueck said.

She said the six piping plovers are joined in Waukegan by two other reasons: Frankie and Buddy. These siblings hatched this year at Montrose Beach, are the grandchildren of Maury and Rose, who spurted a city-wide conservation movement after raising the first successful piping plovers' chicks in Chicago in more than 70 years.

Lueck said the Lake County Audubon Society likes to get attention on piping plovers because protecting their habitat also helps plenty of other plants and animals.

'The more we can get the word out about these previous little birds, the better it is for a lot of different things,' Lueck said.

Tamisha said she said Ford

got tickets to the Navy Fair from when the this week, plans that have switched to grieving and preparing money for services. Tamisha said she had been particularly excited to earn a loan for the two to go out on and view the city at night.

'She wanted to see the skyline during the night-time, to she could see the lights before,' she said. 'She's getting older. We do a lot of fun stuff, but I thought that she'd like getting dressed up, going on the city, being on the water.'

The bubble and outgoing Ford, who Tamisha said was never used unless her brothers had moved with her perfectly organized display of makeup and skin care products, also wanted to invite family and friends to a 'colorful picnic,' where

everyone's outfits and items would be color-cowdleated. 'While Ford was 'cloths kid at heart,' loving Disney, police comment and animals, he sure said she also was determined to become a phlebotomist, having earned top grades at Theatridge and began a vocational program in Olympic Fields.

'Ford's little brother, Tommy Dennis, said he now that his sister was gone, he was trying to stop up and live by her county.'

'I try to clean some because I know I can't do better than Marindu,' he said. 'She does so good in cleaning her grades are so good. She had big plans to clean, and got older, and that got took away from her.'

Will County sheriff's deputy made 122 DUI arrests in 2025

Organization gives him annual honor for enforcement

By Dennis Sullivan FOR THE DAILY SOUTHTOWN

A Will County sheriff's deputy was recognized by the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists for making 122 DUI arrests in 2025, with the organization naming him Sheriff's Enforcement Deputy of the Year.

Steven 'Steve' Potete credits his working years after high school with giving him the foundation for what would become a specialization in accident reconstruction and a certain emergency in dealing with the public.

Potete said these situations are occur anywhere on the 473 square miles of the street, including Naperville, Brackwood, Crane and Baucher. But he said he 'mostly sticks around the Asher-New Lenox Lockport-Flandell area where it's home, especially with cold nights.'

Potete attended Victor J Andrew and Carl Sanzburg high schools, graduating in 1995. But it would be hard to every man before he joined the Will County sheriff's office.

'Right out of high school, I worked out shock, cutting care in half till 2016,' he said. 'That gave me on only good base of knowing what care do in a collision and the reconstruction side of it.'

But an injury admitted Potete, prompting him to try working security at a school and then working with autistic and other developmentally challenged children.

'There rules taught me patience and how to communicate with children,' he said.

Potete is quick to credit Deputy State Albin, his mentor and 'the DUI go to gun,' with guiding him through some of the finer points of law enforcement, particularly as they apply to intercepting drivers operating under the influence of alcohol or a drug.

'You just gotta know how to talk to people,' Potete recalled Albin telling him. 'You treat them with dignity and respect. But you're also gotta kind of read where they're at, do-accidate the situation when necessary.'

Potete, whose credentials now include DUI instruction, traffic crash reconstruction and bail from his investigator, said he noticed people thanking Albin at the end of a traffic stop.

'He told me, 'As you're leaving their car window, I want them to thank you. He was just a great help and resource,' Potete said. 'He let the match under me.'

That is not to downplay the seriousness of imputed drivers. In a court even announced motorists rarely on injured in crashes that injure or kill passers-

gers and other motorists. In 2023, three people were injured in 2023 related crashes in Will County in 2024. At were injured, two deaths and in 2024 it were injured, one fatally, according to the sheriff's office.

Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley said DUI is concerned is a critical component of public safety and one of the most effective ways to prevent serious crashes, injures and facilities on a roadway.

Potete joined the Will County sheriff's auxiliary unit as a volunteer sworn officer in 2010. Two years later, solicited 2022, two people were fatally shot at a 6,000-acre party in 2004. Downing attended by 200 people. Potete and a deputy were one of the first men on the scene.

Potete told his wife, Leslie, he thought he'd found his calling but knew the might worry, as he interacted, in the effect on their two kids he said. She didn't stand in the way.

'She allowed me to take this jump later in life. We took a financial hit to be doing this,' he said.

Potete was faced in January 2022 and allowed to train after successfully exploiting one on understanding DUI restrictions from his younger days.

'I had a great thiest training officer! He was mostly by the book, arrest and knowledge. The staff answer man,' Potete recalled.

But he acknowledged his experience as an audience officer is if he reasoned depains to treat him more than an experienced deputy than someone learning.

'I struggled extremely hard. I was bound and determined I was going to succeed,' he said.

Potete said he also 'took classes in advanced roadside impairment driving enforcement. A lot more was done in started getting some DUI's under my belt.'

Potete praises the Will County state's attorney's office approach to prosecuting DUI, caring from his a great job, have clear rules and hard plead down cases.

But Kelley thinks the court system needs better collaboration between law enforcement, prosecutors and the judiciary. The sheriff said he would like to see more timely case resolution, with his own public education on the dangers and consequences of imputed driving to 'help reduce repeat offenses,' while holding offenders successfully and improving safety throughout Will County.

Told about a DUI arrest that turned an injured Marine Life around, Potete said, 'It did not have to be like changing. I've been so both sides. I'm extremely empathetic. I am looking for imputed drivers, but I am not looking to make an arrest. I don't run across that every step and that's not a bad thing.'

'If I had to guess, 80% thank me.'

most difficult moments. In a minimum, he prune by the country medical examiner and state regulators for swiftly investigating the dilemmas.

"As this investigation continues, our factors are with every family watching for answers," Johnson wrote. "We hope they receive the clarity they deserve, and the peace of mind of knowing their loved ones will be laid to rest with the dignity care and respect every person deserves."

In a statement Friday afternoon, the media examiner's office asked family members to email members. (byservice@coxbeastoff). pre with that contact information, relationship to the decoder and that person's name, date of birth and date of death. The office will confirm identification and ensure proper paperwork is filled before choosing the remains back to family.

Family members can then work with a family doctor that shows or have the mind of examiner's office. Family comments at no additional cost.

Funeral home operators are regulated by the Tribune. Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which on Thursday confirmed it investigated the South Chicago Chapel and suspected Johnson-Morgan's license, but declined to answer more questions on Friday.

"After learning of the situation at the funeral home, IDPPR started local agencies and IDPPR investigated its working with them to ensure all agency/attraguistics and public safety organizations. Agency spokesperson Steven Johnson said to an email the Tribune and February."

Gov. 28. Pritzker on Friday said he was 'listening to IDPPR about what processes the funeral home system is to be used to use the anything, could have been done to prevent the verbal situation discovered this week.

The operations, whether the issues list with monitoring and licensing, with the individuals running the business.

"I do want to point out that the bad racer here is the funeral home, and that they've done something just here!"; Pritzker said. "After 10 a part to make sure and hold them responsible, and let me know what the processes for licensing."

On Friday, authorities completed the grim task of removing office bodies from the home. The office was in the County medical examiner's office, calling on funds such as a time wrapped in tele-legal.

Dental—the medical examiner's office, called for family members of one of the deceased patients, standing hand-in-hand and praying.

happen to the owner and those who were working for him," said Pruks Najera, 26, who lives near the funeral home and watched the home removal process unfold Friday morning. "They knew what was happening."

During a walkthrough of the facility, the state legislator and a group of officers encountered the remains of around 10 people around an different area of the funeral home unanticipated, a police report stated.

Inside the funeral home, sources told the Tribune on Friday, police and other authorities encountered bodies on gunnyy but also on shelves alongside equipment. Some of the bodies were not bagged, and some appeared to have severed limbs.

In 2025, a ceremony in itself authorizes Chicago Heights owned by Clark Morgan was shut down by state officials after the remains of more than 100 states were found improperly stored.

More than two also lawsuits have been filed against Heights Crossroads and the Morgan state state regulators closed the facility last year. Those complaints, alleging improper handling of remains, here since been consolidated.

After the ceremony was closed, the medical examiner's office created a public database to help families recover their loved one's remains. As of Friday more than 400 people remained on the list.

Karen Kavgiel, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said in an interview with the Tribune that many of her clients "have to constantly question themselves."

"A number of my clients have nightmares about him, and they feel guilty because they're the ones that, perhaps, chose the funeral home," Kavgiel said. "They're the ones that chose

the ceremony. They thought they were following their loved one's wishes."

In some instances, Kavgiel said, families learned that the remains they buried were not in fact, their loved one.

"I have families that, maybe, have lost a child or lost a family member of young age and buried them with other family members, only to find out that what they buried with their other family members is not the right remains," Kavgiel added. "The trauma that these families have to go through is that realization. Even just the body being improperly handled and disrespected is detrimental or traumatic."

Illinois comptroller Susan Minshwa, whose office has some investigative authority over crematorium and shut down the Chicago Heights' ceremony owned by Clark Morgan last year, on Friday and businesses that mishandle human remains need to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

But the IDPPR, not the comptroller's office, is responsible for licensing

funeral home directors such as Johnson Morgan, Clark Morgan's wife who had her home inspection equipment to the discovery at the home Chicago Chapel home.

While Minshwa didn't know the details of IDPPR's oversight of South Chicago Chapel, the department was "on site with us, with our office, a year and a half ago when the crematory situation at Chicago Hedges was happening," she said. "When I was clearly well aware that these were terrible, terrible actors who didn't run a crematory but instead ran a home of horrors."

The appearance of the "show-zone-potterer" were causing similar issues at the funeral home. "The following," said Minshwa, who is running for more.

Illinois notably tightened state oversight on funeral homes in 2024 following a finding that a central Illinois business had given dozens of families the time to come. Under the updated time, IDPPR recognized its major's funeral homes within 10 days of receiving a complaint about

maintaining or misidentification of human remains.

Minshwa on Friday called for the state to consolidate oversight power for funeral home directors and crematories under par one entity — either her office or IDPPR — instead of upbringing to prevent mishaps.

"No one's perfect, but certainly you want to make sure that you have a tight understanding of what's happening in each and every one of your agencies," Minshwa said, asked about. Pritzker's oversight of IDPPR is the control of the funeral home's discoveries. "Like, when I find out that things are happening, I better get on top of it right away. And as I would anticipate that the government is going to look much more forcefully into what's happening, what has or has not been done."

All. Peter Choi, 100A, whose ward includes the funeral home, said the improper storage was "hard, fray" and could become difficult to re-counter perhaps regulating funeral homes. "Just to think about the

lack of humanity that these bodies were handled with, and really the families, not heart-guns out to the families who are now wondering about the nature of their loved ones," he said.

Neighbours said the Tribune that they've been smoking something also to a deal animal in the area for around two months.

"As she watched authorities work the scene on Friday, Najera said that she's tired of South Exchange Avenue for her whole life and had never any other time."

"I'm devastating," she said. "I don't have any words."

On Friday morning, Patricia Hallheimer came to the office to re-arrange the answers, because her sister's body was kept on the facility before she was cremated.

Hallheimer's family was a woman who was not in fact, who have actually belong to their loved one.

"Because she was here in the last 60 days, we're really concerned about it," Hallheimer said.

He said that Johnson, whose mother's funeral was interrupted by the police response, it's difficult to contemplate her mother's funeral home. The most must go to the medical examiner's office on coming down to identify her mother's body, shortly after she thought the person was in the room.

So best, she said, Chicago police officers allowed them to finish the funeral, which she said she appreciate.

The first time, Johnson's home owners surely felt that didn't happen! Johnson said: "All the time my mom was here, her body was thrown on top of the funeral and bodies were his and our coming around."

The investigation was in the first time the funeral industry told the Chicago area.

In July 2004, authorities revealed that workers at the home were not in fact, who were resulting errors and dumping hundreds of old remains in an abandoned ward covered by

the home. The number of her Old was estimated to 12 years is greater for her role in the macabre scheme.

The case also approves the 2024-2026 school country where remains were allegedly mishandled.

Last month, police arrested two men in Public City, who were in the country mishandling at least two dozen decomposing bodies and other remains found behind a hidden door in a funeral room.

The Reheard the discovery of 18 bodies in various stages of decomposition at a funeral home in Georgia in 2024. In 2023, nearly 200 decomposing bodies were found in the home of the Colorado, and another 31 decomposing bodies were discovered at an Indiana-based home.

Just like in the film 'The Dink,' pickleball was the best medicine for my husband

By Christine Ledbetter SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

If you aren't among the millions of pickleball players, the latest growing sports: America, watch 'The Dink' on Apple TV to get a glimpse of what you're missing.

Jule Johnson plays Duffy, a former tennis prodigy whose career was thwarted early when he broke his seven during a search with the few millstones that really Raddock. Now he reaches children at the father's elite tennis club. In what his dad Old Harries calls the decline of humanity, the club is trying to re-scheat on by pickleballers planning for more courts.

The film comes to the far less between tennis mobs and the more democratic pickleballers while examining father-son relationships and intergenerational friendships. More importantly, it reveals the impact of what creates an intimate pickleball community.

The underhand norm, smaller court, fast learning curve and slow-moving plastic ball make it a more egalitarian game. Women's basketballers without having to be little. Just King or Arenaपार्कments. Younger players partner with older, far-end-parents can play with their grandchildren.

Many you offer personal tresses, such as downs, sidewhood, injury and illness.

In the film, Duffy compares his wrist, and his doctor (less 80th) prescribes pickleball to promote hostility. He joins a group in which a recently divorced woman played by Mary Woodrington and two other 70-year-old councillors the rules and the culture.

Your own age, we husband, Dean Mylar, a lifelong tennis player, was diagnosed with cancer. He intends pickleball faith, allowing him to continue to play a sport though he was medicine at the end.

When he made the game, Duffy's enduring relationships outside of it. Members of Duffy's play come together, but happy hours, due for lunch and dinner. They play making twice a week. We even celebrated

Christmas dinner with them.

His pickleball family walked closer with him than some biological family members, longtime friends and even his religious leader.

Over 40 of them joined him in a 7 a.m. 16' fundraising walk in May to raise money for Wellness House, a nonprofit cancer care group facility that lives supported for nearly. When he was hospitalized for 25 days that came month, they visited, called, visited, sent photos, brought flowers and food. They took him for walks in the hospital onward. They shared updates on group tests and checked in with our daughter – many of them integral to her own pickleball learning.

Just before a surgical procedure, one in the group directed a video in which pickle-

ball family members described their feelings for them, how they were pruning for his well-being and waiting for him to join them again on the pickleball court.

He watched treatment before the surgery and said it spilled his soul.

They organized and hosted a tournament in his house to raise additional funds for Wellness House while he was head from the bench – talking much and offering work to ten times/four marks of stages like always. For Team Dean, they second signs and balloons, brought home cooked meals to them and displayed a calm with his influence.

He entered home hospice early in July. The flowers, food and prayers continued. They made points here in our kitchen. One brought him a beer and Triscuits. Another dropped mar and cheese and

stuffed poppers at our door. There were lots of bags and tears.

When he lost his ability to make it upstairs and even shuffle around with his walker, a friend insisted on her safety in a 2000 Jaguar convertible, where they stopped by a nearby preschool to see out 5-year-old grandson who grabbed Dean's hand for the last time for a phone up.

It was Dean's first time upright. Through pickleball, Dean discovered a new family – a family member, a patient and joy during the last and most challenging chapter of his life. While he began a tennis player facing a cancer diagnosis, it was the remarkable, compassion and laughter on the day that his courts that carried him through his illness.

In his final days, Dean tried to get rid of an many loose mobs in possible. He told his beloved car and a model credit cards and vacations. He shared a phone even Conco card. He made plans for the future of all his pickleball graders.

He watched Wimbledon and called childhood friends to say goodbye. He made room in his hospital bed for me to slip in next to him.

Dean was also actively planning his last act – his memorial. He wanted his service to be held in September, at his favorite pickleball court, of course.

There will be food, a slide show and just a few speeches. Between the pop pop sound of the balls, a DJ will play classic rock songs including Iron Butterfly's 17-minute 'To a Goddo the Vibe,' which he repeatedly cited as one of his favorite times.

There will be no mourning attire, only athletic wear. Pickleball was his church, its community his congregation. We will be celebrating. And maybe swearing a little, in his honor.

Voice of the People

A comeback for State Street

The Tribune Editorial Board got it right about the current state of State Street ("Michigan Avenue is improving. But State Street has never looked so chubby." July 25). I am that as a Chicagoan, president and CEO of The Jeffery Ballet, and a State Street Commission member.

Each week, more than 1,200 staff members, company artists and students pass through State Street. We experience the same construction, empty storefronts and public safety concerns in everyone else. We also see people choosing downtown because they know this city is worth their time.

I have walked State Street since I was a kid. Growing up in Westchester, I delivered newspapers, and in 1972, a 12-more old, 1-saved my earnings, took the bus for 45 cents, bought a 20-cent number and sold the train downtown.

Downtown was where I fell in love with Chicago. I have my grandmother beneath the Marshall Puddle clock before lunch in the Walnut Room. I wondered maximum and discovered a beautiful with possibility.

In the fourth grade, I wrote a paper about Chicago and the places that made a cornerstone. I talked to other the city's motto: 'A City is a Garden.' I filled it with photograph, newspaper clippings and a hand-drawn Chicago flag. I will keep that report in my desk at Jeffery Tower.

One sentence stays with me: 'Chicago is one of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world.'

I still believe it. That is why the editorial resources.

Letting a city means refusing to look away when it needs attention. Construction and safety shape the downtown experience, and both diverse in agency.

For more than 10 years, the Jeffery has called State and Randolph streets home. When the city is in downtown, I temporarily moved into the Palmer House to experience the street's overall business hours.

You cannot understand a street from behind a desk. You have to walk it.

You see challenges. You also see business owners running their doors and investing students. Reading, reading, and reading addresses filling restaurants before performances.

That realization inspired the Cultural Stadium, built in the class that culture is over, with中国共产党的领导. The organization is strengthening our city together. That's what gives Chicago its energy.

The editorial board started an important conversation. I hope more Chicagoan join it.

State Street has reintroduced itself before, and it will again. Chicago deserves a down town that reflects the greatness so many of us have always seen in it. — Greg Cameron, president and CEO, The Jeffery Ballet, Chicago

Another reason to hate Dodgers

Paul Sullivan's recent column about the Dodgers acquiring us up in her Tank Shield (outside another source to last them): 'Built for the pressure,' Aug. 15. Now, I don't blame Sullivan, he is, after all, a sportswriter paid to write about sports, but for those of us who follow both sports and politics, the summers is playing, and it is this: The Dodgers went to the White House and both based the ring and gave a ring to arguably the most dishonest, undeserving and corrupt president in U.S. history. — Emile Sellers, River Force

Unnecessary political comment

In a story about the Sex and Cybermaking deadline moves: 'Wheeling, dealing,' Aug. 4, does Paul Sullivan have to jam in his

'one-parceniors' comment?

If he wants to write a political column, then do it. If he hates President Donald Trump or any other politician, fine by me. It's a fine country. But I'm making a column about deadline moves in a manner of great baseball in the greatest city in the world where I was born and grew up.

Why go about 'Get into' yourself. — Michael Mannion, Springfield

Sullivan makes it worth it

Years ago, the Tribune offered buyouts to its outstanding journalists and columnists. Many accepted the buyout, as which time we consider a shopping one where price that we have had for many decades.

One journalist who still works for the paper is Paul Sullivan. He is a testament to the truth, as his columns highlight the benefits of a writing about the services but lighthearted way. He insures humor, self-dispersation and the occasional political views in his columns. He is exceptional, and the Tribune must do everything possible to make sure he does not get away. He learned his side well from the greatest of Chicago columnists, Mike Baylor.

As long as he is writing for the Tribune, we will keep our side system.

— Cary Riske, Greysdale

WNBA needs to grow up

The WNBA seems to have mattered the line art of shooting itself in the best. Few could have predicted it. A league that struggled for decades to attract mainstream attention suddenly found itself requiring scoring television ratings, higher salaries, shorter flights and support of small public interest. Instead of both motivating the moment, too many players have prevailed pretty judicious, a previous mentality and, at times, racial resentment. The league seems determined to cling to its understanding identity just as it finally has a chance to outgrow it.

The WNBA has even been profitable on its own. The WNBA has also achieved the financial support from the NBA while operating at a loss. That makes no one to have bred entitlement rather than plentiful. What if the league couldn't find to generate enough money to pay for own salaries and, even in own expenses? My guess is that players would work a little harder to entertain into instead of turning what should have been a downcavation an understanding, half-hunter offers, as the city is the Old Harries right and.

Professional sports exists to entertain paying customers. If the WNBA wants to be treated like a major league, it needs to start acting like one.

Friday's ruling marked the second time this week the Trump administration took has made headlines for construction plans that have been called time question. An assessment by the National Park Service found that a 250-foot Hill brought and that Trump has proposed building could compromise the historical significance of dozens of sites near its ground. In place, our public circle between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

In a U.S. decision on the ballroom, the appeals court sided with historic preservation sites who used to stop construction of the massive structure, which has begun to rise aboveground on the east side of the White House, according to the most recent aerial photos of the site. The court said it would not be ruling for two weeks to give the admission sites time to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Whether or not massive ballroom should be constructed in for Congress to decide and in not a matter for Executive self-help," the court wrote.

"This holding has nothing at all to do with whether the proposed ballroom is desirable, or not, as a matter of policy. This ruling does not even necessarily mean that the Defendant may notfully mainly construct the ballroom.

"What it does mean," the court continued, "is that the Defendant may not do so during the district court's expeditious litigation without securing Congress's authorization, as the Constitution and law requires."

The president reacted to the ruling with a lengthy part on social workers which he quoted from a dissenting opinion issued by Judge Nusmi Rau, whom he nominated for also described the plans for the facility to include bomb shelters, a hospital and medical facilities, "Top Secret Military Facilities" and other security features.

The Military and Secret Service are viewing this horrendous, politically motivated, and unlawful ruling as

a National Security threat in our Nation in that the entire Complex is being built for the protection of our Country and, additionally, all future Presidents," Trump wrote.

After the lower court earlier they are elected chair to aboveground construction, the president argued that permission from Congress to build the ballroom was unnecessary because public money was not being used to pay for it.

Trump has said he has raised hundreds of millions of dollars from corporations and wealthy people, including himself, to cover the construction costs.

But the Trump administration requested $2 billion for the ballroom, which Congress refused in May. In June, Democrats warned that $200 million in funds from a tax can last appeared to have been redirected for the high costs.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the nonprofit organization that brought the lawsuit against the Trump administration, said Friday's decision affirmed "the American people's right to voice their opinions about the historic security checks," including the White House.

"From the beginning, our position has been clear and consistent: the law states that with Congress can authorize the construction of a ballroom at the White House," Brent Leggy, the group's president and CEO, said in a statement: "We are pleased with the DC Circuit Court's decision to uphold the District Court's preliminary injunction, which although stayed for 14 days will block any above-ground ballroom construction costs and until Congress takes action."

The divided appeals court panel upheld an April 16 order from Judge Richard Leon for the Trump administration to look aboveground work on the ballroom. Leon, who was nominated to the bench by Republican President George W. Bush, allowed construction to continue on underground work on a border and other "national security facilities" at the site.

The appeals court can't was assigned to Judges Rau, Patricia Millett and Bradley Garcia. Millett was nom-

nated to the court by Democratic President Barack Obama. Garcia was nominated by Democratic President Joe Biden, Beth Millett and Garcia backed the decision, while Rau opposed it.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation used to challenge the project in December 2025, a week after completion of the East Wing demolition to make way for a ballroom that Trump says would hold 999 people.

Government lawyers have signed that the project – the biggest structural change in the White House in more than 70 years – must move forward because it includes critical security features to guard against a range of threats, such as threats, ballistic missiles and hindsards.

"Those upgrades, alterations, and improvements are essential to protecting the President, his family, and his staff, as well as the White House itself, and the entire project flows from them," government attorneys wrote on court filing.

Attorneys for the preservation group countered that the lack of a White House ballroom doesn't constitute a national security emergency.

"That common sense conclusions not clearly erroneous, and there is no basis to disturb it," they wrote.

Ikon initial ruling that the government also appealed, Leon barred aboveground work on the ballroom from proceeding without congressional approval. In response, the appeals court instructed the judge to reconsider the national security implications of stopping construction.

In his most recent decision, Leon ordered a stop only to the aboveground construction of the planned ballroom. The judge stressed that the White House is free to proceed with underground work, including the construction of any hunkers, military installations and medical facilities.

On April 2, Trump's ballroom won final approval from the 12-member National Capital Planning Commission, which is charged with approving construction on federal property in the Washington region.

Business booming for new casino

Aurora venue doubled its numbers over last July in move to land

By Robert Chaumick CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Hollywood Casino Aurora hit the jackpot during its first fall month at its glitzy $160 million land-based entertainment complex, making huge gains in both revenue and admissions.

The former two-hour operator generated $174 million in revenue, welcomed nearly 534,000 visitors and catapulted to No. 3 among the state's 27 casinos in July according to monthly data released Friday by the Illinois Gaming Board.

The move to dryland doubled revenue and admissions over the same month last year, when the Hollywood Casino Aurora was still just a more strange floating on the Fox River.

"The business has almost essentially doubled in the first fall month," Jay Snowden, CEO and president of casino owner Penn Entertainment, said during an earnings call Thursday. "You get some benefit of everybody coming to see the property in that first month. We're very pleased with what the response has been and the feedback we're getting is very positive."

Opened to great fanfare in late June, the new Hollywood Casino Aurora rose up near Interstate 44 and Chicago Premium Outlets mall. It features 1,300 gaming positions, a 126-room hotel, a 12,000-square-foot event center and a snow gavel of dining options including Sorafsky by Glada and Boulevard Food & Drink.

Like other recently built casinos in Illinois, the new west suburban facility proved to be a gambler magnet, at least in its first month of operation. Hollywood Casino Aurora was ranked ninth in the state in revenue as a reombor during the first half of 2026.

In July, Hollywood Casino Aurora jumped to third behind Brown Casino Star Plaines, which generated $44.7 million in adjusted gross receipts. Wind Creek Chicago shortlisted, which opened a new land-based casino complex in south suburban East Hurst Crest in 2024, held onto the second spot with $167 million in revenue.

Rounding out the revenue leaders for July are Hard Rock Casino Rockford at $11.1 million, Balt's Chicago at $10.1 million, American Place in Washington at $12.4 million and Hollywood Casino Aisles, which generated $12.2 million for the month, according to Gaming Board data.

Penn Entertainment, which owns both Hollywood Casino Joliet and Aurora, has made significant investments to convert their brand medium to land-based facilities. The early returns look promising.

Shops at North Bridge to get $40M makeover

New glass facade, atrium planned as retail outlook brightens on the Mag Mile

By Brian J. Rogal CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The owner of The Shops at North Bridge will pour 540 million into a dramatic renovation of the complex, giving the Magnificent Mile another job of energy.

The phased reconstruction effort begins early next week, said Deb Mattos, senior general manager of Centennial, the property manager for the four-level shopping center at 520 N Michigan Ave. It will include a new glass facade, a digital art installation at the Michigan Avenue store's corridor, an upgrade entrance on Rush Street and a reconstructed central atrium.

"We're essentially rebuilding the entire entrance off Michigan Avenue," Mattos said. "Right now, the building's facade blends into the background, but our new digital installation will be a moving piece of art that transforms itself throughout the day and into the night. It will be the form of behind on Michigan Avenue."

The overall goal is to open up the mall, making it a gathering place more renting to casual shoppers and pedestrians, the oldest Centennial also plans to bring in a new crop of retailers, including a bar and lounge for the atrium, along with other dining and entertainment options.

"Like many in the industry, we're repositioning ourselves as more than just small," Mattos said. "We want to give people experiences they can't get through online shopping."

The stores in the mall, including Nordstrom's flagship location, will remain open throughout the renovation. Centennial expects to complete the new facade in 2027.

Several retail properties along North Michigan Avenue also recently launched multi-million dollar renovations, and John Vance,

principal at Stone Real Estate. It's a sign that Chicago's premier retail district continues to recover from the pandemic and the rise of dollar retail, a double whammy that depressed property values and left behind a lot of vacant renovations.

Foot traffic has rebounded along North Michigan Avenue, and our retail concepts including opportunistic tenants – such as the Museum of Ice Cream in Tribune Tower – helped fill up empty spaces. Vance said: That's a single ever more curious shoppers and tourists to The Magnificent Mile, so property owners increasingly see it as a good place to invest.

"The recovery has been going on for, call it two years, maybe more, and you can physically see how much better the Magnificent Mile is right now," he said. "So, those investment committees get

together and ask, should we really invest $40 million down there, and will we get a return on our investment? That's a ton of money, and they don't make these decisions tighter."

Forpest Development and Income Properties took a risk in 2023 when they plucked down $40 million for $40.76 Michigan Ave., a vacant retail building.

The hot goal off: This year the partners nearly filled the 120,000-square-foot property with new tenants, including the 60,000-square-foot Candy Hall of Fame Experience and a new two-story Chase/J.P. Morgan banking center.

Other big Magnificent Mile reservations include: MetLife Investment Management's recent decision to launch a $170 million makeover of Water Tower Place,

the eight-story vertical indoor mall at 440 N Michigan Ave.

Japanese clothing retailer Utsujie reopened in March a Magnificent Mile flagship store, and the crowds it enjoyed to with N Michigan Ave. helped continue Pacific Life, the owner of The Shops at North Bridge, that the time was right to renovate their property. Mattos said.

Pacific Life took control of The Shops at North Bridge in 2024 through a 26x30 in first of four closure. Utsujie had shuttered its previous flagship operation at 910 N Michigan Ave. in 2021.

"(Pacific Life) recognized there was an opportunity to take advantage of the repositioning efforts," Mattos said. "We see the momentum along the Mile and the momentum in the Chicago market as well."

Convictions upheld for former Outcome Health executives

Appeals court affirms jury's 2023 decision on multiple fraud counts

By Lisa Schancker CHICAGO TRIBUNE

An appellate court has upheld the fraud convictions of the two former top executives at Outcome Health – a once-prominent Chicago tech company.

A three-judge panel for the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday affirmed a jury's decision from more than three years ago to control the conviction on multiple counts of fraud.

After a 10-week-long trial in 2023, the jury found Outcome co-founder and former CEO Rishi Shah and co-founder and former President Shradha Agarwal guilty

of 19 and 10 counts, respectively. Shah was sentenced in 2024 to 71.1 years in prison, and Agarwal was sentenced to three years of confinement at a halfway house. Both have remained free as their appeal proceeded.

Outcome was once a star of Chicago's tech crime, telling advertising to pharmaceutical companies, with the ads running on TVs and tablets that Outcome installed in doctors' offices and waiting rooms.

The company grew from 10 employees in 2011 to more than 500 employees in 2017, with a reported valuation of more than $1 billion in revenue. Outcome raised nearly $1 billion from lenders and high-profile investors, including a fund co-founded by Gov. J.B. Pritchett and units of Goldman Sachs and Google.

But the company's meteoric rise generally is held after a former Outcome analyst contended the Wall Street Journal with allegation that the company was misleading pharmaceutical companies and inflicting data.

During the 2023 trial, prosecutors alleged that Shah, Agarwal and a third executive, Brad Purdy, lied about how many doctors' offices had screens and tablets running their content. Prosecutors said they then used those fake numbers to overcharge drug companies for advertising, and blamed revenue figures used to get loans and raise money from investors.

Purdy was also convicted in the scheme, but was not part of the appeal decided Thursday.

Shah and Agarwal had argued

NM court orders Meta, Instagram to pay $567M

Judge says bulk of money will fund youth treatment services

By Barbara Ortutay

and Mark N. ASSOCIATED PRESS

A New Mexico court has ordered Instagram and Facebook parent company Meta to pay $567 million to address harms to young people from its platforms in the second phase of a landmark trial.

Judge Bryan Beobcheid said in a ruling last Thursday that the bulk of the money — $620 million — will be used for treatment services for young people. The rest will go toward awareness and prevention, screening services and other costs over the next few years.

The new penalty is in addition to the $375 million in civil penalties that jurors ordered against Meta in March after determining the company knowingly harmed children's mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms.

In the second phase, prosecutors asked

the judge to impose fundamental changes at Meta aimed at reining in addictive features, improving age verification and preventing child sexual exploitation through default privacy settings and client oversight.

The decision said Meta is responsible for — $942 million — is a small fraction of its annual profit, which was about $60 billion in 2025.

Still, the ruling is another setback for Meta, which faces an avalanche of lawsuits from thousands of families of children harmed by social media.

New Mexico Attorney General Basil Torres said it needs an unintended decision to support the companies will be held accountable when their product designs knowingly are children on trial.

'Today's decisions are a victory for every parent who has worried about what social models is doing to their child and every child who deserves to grow up safer online,' he said in a statement.

Meta vowed to appeal. 'We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and have been transparent about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors and harmful content.'

the company said in a statement. 'We remain confident in our record of protecting校园 children and will continue to defend ourselves against claims that misrepresent the facts.'

The judge ordered Facebook and Instagram to build human and international scornes to shedly explain its protection features, best practices and tools to address inappropriate comments for example, and display them regularly.

The court said federal children's privacy laws prevent Meta from applying age verification tools to children under 15. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, in COPPA, means it cannot order Meta to support children to submit personal data to regularly tracked online, even for age verification purposes.

Instead, the court ordered Meta to continue to improve its age assurance tools in New Mexico, which includes using artificial intelligence to determine people's age based on signals such as who their friends are and what types of content they post and consume. Meta must also attempt to develop dedicated 'radical' (a team of age prediction models) in the next two years.

Cyber three should water

Attacks on US supply follow years of blocked attempts to address known vulnerabilities

By Dustin Vela

THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — In 2023, the Exec commuted Protection Agency under the Biden administration proposed creating stronger cybersecurity guidelines to better safeguard the nation's water supply from hackers.

The steps were modest but necessary, officials said at the time: Many municipalities had an onerous protection, and the companies that monitor and adjust water quality, including chemical treatment levels, were easy-to-find targets for a would-be intruder.

The EPA rescinded the order, however, after Republican-led status and industry groups used to block its enforcement.

The episode is just one of several in recent years in which efforts to bolster the cyberdefenses of America's water systems were blocked despite repeated attacks that highlighted vulnerabilities.

Now federal and state officials are racing

to address an alarming, assault on the nation's water supply that they believe is also probably the work of Iranian hackers.

Last week, at least seven states, including Minnesota and Michigan, reported incidents to the FBI, and in some cases the hacks — or the response to these degraded water operations. The tally of states reporting possible attacks to the FBI, show at least actions, according to people familiar with the investigation. The FBI has not disclosed the states publicly, but some have come forward to confirm activity.

At least 200 massaged ألفer射线射线 can be used to control the ability efforts related to their water systems, though some of those may be unethical backlashes, the people said. Some security experts said the number of vulnerable systems nationwide could be far higher.

There are no indications so far that any water system has been corrupted in a way that rendered drinking water unsafe. But the attacks have led to disruptions that required manual overhaul and boil water}).

In the second phase, the government's

federal authorities on the investigation, but that assessment is preliminary.

Officials and experts warn that at the US war against Iran struckers, Tehran could be more intense actions if it feels it has little to lose.

For all the fears about artificial intelligence models posing a grave risk to global cybersecurity, efforts to outgrow a human or other target from the United States, the country, according to former officials, experts said the government's public admission. The hackers are targeting companies that are readily accessible on the internet and therefore because of weak or default rights credentials.

Officials and experts said the breadth of hacking activity could be far larger than what is known. There are about 100,000 public water systems in the country, according to the EPA. Many are small and have minimal cybersecurity measures.

The Trump administration released a national cybersecurity strategy in March that identified protecting critical infrastructure networks as a property, but said little about the precise mechanics for how to do so beyond securing supply chains from foreign-built technology that could pose risks.

Meta discloses AI model hacked another company

By Barbara Ortutay

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Meta said Thursday that one of its artificial intelligence models accessed the internet on its own, and hacked another company, the latest in a series of disclosures about AI models going rogue.

In recent weeks OpenAI and Anthropic also have described instances of AI models going beyond 'human' instructions to access the web and that were around other companies' digital security.

Meta said in a statement that a 'minimal-figurative' during cybersecurity testing by face-glass, an independent company hired by Meta, inadvertently allowed one of its models to access the internet.

'The model subsequently exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service, a a manner similar to previously reported instances with other companies,' said Meta said. Meta said, in an unsatisfying the incident and will issue a report when that's complete.

The disclosures has added to worries about AI models acting autonomously.

Separately this week, the United Kingdom's AI Security Institute announced it had found 'unauthorized agent behavior' during cyber testing. In one case, an agent created this online algorithm to promote a person to approve use of malicious code.

'On investigation, we found that some of the agents being tested had engaged in a

directed at real people and organizations,' said that Thursday. 'We believed a security incident and, within roughly one hour of discovery, had contained it and began chill in the world.'

During the agency's testing, Anthropic and OpenAI models took 'spontaneous, unanctioned action' on the internet. Some guardrails to prevent misuse had been disabled, the agency said.

'As was studied in our cyber testing, we had continuously permitted internet access, and model provides cyber classifiers were deliberately disabled — conditions that do not reflect how frontier models are made available to the public,' ASH said. 'We shall have two assets for maximum capability of models.'

China posts surplus for July despite trade fallout

By Daisuke Wakabayashi

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Even as countries around the world move to curb the flood of Chinese goods, China's export machine continues to stress about. The country posted a trade surplus of $122 billion in July, according to data released Friday by the General Administration of Customs.

It was the third straight month in which China's exports exceeded its imports by more than $500 billion — a staggering sum that puts the country on pace to outpost last year's record $1.19 trillion trade surplus.

In July, China's export to our 24.9% in U.S. dollar terms, which imports climbed 27.5% in July.

The war in Iran has decrypted all and gas shipments through the trust of the man, helping spur demand for Chinese electric vehicles and renewable energy products. China's manufacturers, hard by overcapping and relocating the many economic issues, squeezed their profits, have sought growth abroad by mandating overseas markets with low-cost goods.

China's export strength also masks persistent weakness in the domestic economy, which continues to suffer from the lingering efforts of a reuniting property downturn and stubbornly weak consumer spending. In the second phase, the economy grew at its slowest rate in three years.

Despite threats from President Donald Trump strike start of the second term, China has weathered its trade confrontation with the United States and emerged in a position of relative strength.

Last month, the Trump administration imposed a tariff rate of 0.37% on Chinese goods, roughly in line with the rates applied to dozens of other countries. In July, Chinese exports to the United States rose 17%.

UNION AIMS JUDGE TO BLOCK TRUMP AUDIT IMMUNITY DEAL

WASHINGTON — The labor union representing January Department and Internal Revenue Service, which created a judge Thursday to block a sweeping tax audit immunity agreement for President Donald Trump, arguing it would have career employees to choose between following a political order and abiding by the law.

The group passed a lawsuit filed in May that sought to block the proposal for William 'Anti-Wouponization Fund,' which the Trump administration later scrapped after bipartisan pushback.

Senator boosts Blanche's prospects

Backing by Cassidy appears to seal AG pack's confirmation

By Alanna Durkin-Bicher, Trump Senator and Bill Barrow ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Republicans ban Bill Cassidy said on Friday that he will back Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general, likely paying for way for Blanche's confirmation to lead President Donald Trump's Justice Department.

The Louisiana senator announced his support on the Senate floor after Blanche's confirmation was thrown into death over opposition from two other Republicans senators. Last March ended Alisha and Susan Collins of Maine.

Cassidy said Blanche "is not perfect," citing concerns over a proposal $1.8 billion fund to compensate Trump after, a tax audit memo only said for the Republican president and investigators reporting the president's political opponents.

But Cassidy said no other senators may wish to rest the department better under Trump, and it says that the Blanche's role as Trump's former criminal defense lawyer can make him more effective at pushing back to the president's demands.

"This is not a reference does on President Trump. It is a decision regarding Mr. Blanche to very specific circumstances," Cassidy said. Cassidy who lost his Republican primary after Trump endorsed his rival approval to shake up as he described the criticism he expected to face for his Blanche vote,

adding "What's more?" Blanche would become Trump's second confirmed attorney general since the president returned to the Senate House with a state's desire to sue the law enforcement agency to investigate his perceived enemies. He has been serving as acting attorney general since Trump beat Paul Pratt-Bonifle by 60, while the failed to deliver an criminal case against his foes.

Blanche's path to confirmation has been complexed over a settlement of Trump's lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service that has drawn intense scrutiny for the Republicans and Democrats alike. The settlement called for the creation of the $1.8 billion fund to compensate

people who had maintained by the criminal justice system and provided Trump and family members with immune care from tax audits.

Markowitz, in announcing her opposition to Blanche, cited concerns over the Justice Department's handling of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Spatzis. His sweeping tax audit immunity died and the proposal "Anti-Ongenate-SusFried" (The Markoesenter said she is worried about Trump administration could proceed with the dead despite the administration's promises due to a dead, noting that the Senate has leverage over the head only because Blanche's nomination is pending.

"The country needs an

Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration," Markowitz said. "I hope Mr. Blanche is able to understand, if confirmed, but simply do not have confidence that will be the case."

The Senate Judiciary Committee advised that Blanche's nomination only after a deal reached last weekend with two other Republican senators — John Cramps of Texas and Thane Tillis of North Carolina — who had been threatening to block his confirmation over aspects of the settlement.

Under the deal, Blanche formally rescinded the "Anti-Ongenate-SusFried" writing is an order that "there is no fund."

The Justice Department also clarified in writing that the tax audit immunity agreement applies only to claims upon at the time of the settlement and does not protect Trump from examination of future tax filings. It also makes clear that only the parties that brought the lawsuit — Trump, two of his sons and the Trump Organization — are covered by the tax agreement.

But Democrats say Blanche's order doesn't stop the Trump administration from reviving the fund after his confirmation and have called for legislation to permanently bar it. Trump has repeatedly defended the fund and has threatened to push forward with it if

Republicans don't support Blanche's nomination.

Lawmakers and legal experts have also questioned the limitations of the tax protection for Trump. A federal judge who overruled the IRS case has described Trump's lawsuit as an improper exercise in self-dealing.

Democrats have accused Blanche of prioritizing his loyalty to Trump above all else through investigations against Trump because it is not a law to exercise James Conney and a radical reshaping of a department that historically probed itself on its independence from the White House. Under Bunch and Blanche's leadership, the law has been a major issue of employees through things, outpatients or voluntary departures.

Blanche's supporters say his experience as a federal prosecutor and the trust he earned from Trump in the courtroom makes him better equipped than Bunch to explain to the White House the legal constraints of the demands. Republicans have also touted his efforts to bring down violent crime, tackle illegal immigration, and combat violent carriots and drug trafficking.

Sen. Richard Durkin of Illinois, the day the senator on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it would be a "nervous mistake" to confirm Blanche, begging his colleagues not to be on the "wrong side" of history.

"When it is over a moment in history when we need an attorney general above approach, who is clearly dedicated to ending corruption, even at the highest level of our government, it's right now," Durkin said.

Job market stalled in July as employers trim 23,000

Report deals political setback to president ahead of full elections

By Paul Wiseman and Jami Boak ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. of market stalled is unexpectedly fast month, delivering a political show of the market that made it the three months ahead of moderate elections and complicating decision-making for the millions of figures at the Federal Reserve.

Employers cut 23,000 jobs in July. And a 26-year payment covenants slashed 103,000 jobs from May and June payrolls.

The 1000 employees are left but for the wrong reason. Thousands of people dropped out of the labor market to fewer people were competing for work.

Another major problem from the Labor Department on Friday and had a sharp setback for the American labor market and for Trump less than three months before his Republican party was to keep full control of Congress in the midterm election.

Proccators had expected job creation to approach 103,000 last month.

The 2nd public sector in 103,000 jobs in July, restJi-men and bars 24,000, smokers 19,000.

The 4.1% unemployment rate was the lowest since June 2023 — but it only fell because 204,000 people dropped out of the labor market last month. The share of those working at looking for work fell to 61.4%, the lowest since February 2023.

"We can't really put lipstick on a pig base," said Grant Zhao, chief economist at the 2nd-website Glassdoor. "This is not a great report for July."

The Trump administration, which has imposed massive tariffs in an attempt to protect American industry and create manufacturing jobs, noted that 4.6% were up 22,000 at construction companies and 3,000 in the future.

"The Trump industrial enterprises is on a hardest, and White House spokesman Raub Davis," Blanche trumpet and factory construction jobs grew again in July even as government payrolls continued to signify early shrink."

Trump has long bruggled that jobs have been increasing for some+ born citizens in the U.S. state, but that talking point was understanding for the July numbers. The White House declined to comment on why Fridays report showed that employment for native-born Americans dropped by 124,000 over the past 12 months. Those numbers can be guilty. That is not adjusted for seasonal changes and an increase as a valuable measure of total native-born employment. But the administrative ban had latched onto them as evidence that Trump's immigration is a failure to go benefiting people born in the United States.

Policymakers at the Federal Reserve have been divided over whether to start raising interest to combat inflation that has exceeded their 2% target for more than five years. The Fed-Italy's arm exchanged at its meeting last week — but three officials damned from the decision in favor of a rate hike. Wall Street leaders were expecting rate hikes later this year. Friday's report may at least do his higher rates.

"The Fed has to consider

the health of the job market as they debate whether a hike is justified," said Glandner's Zhao. "The softness of the report is going to have to go up for Feb 8, 2024 this 12 years."

July wage gains were modest, foreign bonds just was up 1.2% last month from July 2023, the smallest year over-year hike since May 2023. The smallest wage gains came at a time when Ameri-can families are squeezed by the high cost of living.

"This year," said the U.S. state report," said Heather Faust, chief economist at New Federal Credit Union. "The U.S. labor market is ending again and that is going to make the Federal Reserve job harder and life for job seekers rough."

Women lost 32,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reports, accounting for all the job losses in July. But that marked a reversal in women's fortunes. They still gained 321,000 jobs over the past 12 months, men lost 5,000 over that period.

Economists noted private payoffs continued to grow in July, and the big drop in public school payrolls might have been a statistical glitch caused by seasonal adjustments during bade-boss and this year from a lackluster 2022 in the last of the conflict in the Persian Gulf that has sent energy prices surging and put a strain on family budgets. Job growth had been with 2-4 major markets: home businesses are having trouble

filling revenues. Others are using technology to do the work business need to do.

At the first rate, employers are adding 6,000 jobs a month, up from 6,700 to 2023, the weakest hiring outside a recession since 2002. But job creation this year is well below the 2023-24 average of 10,000 jobs a month — and it had been even higher during the 2021-22 hiring hours that followed the end of COVID-19 lockdown.

The 2023 federal financial status doesn't need an many jobs as it need to be found the unemployment rate from rising. Trump's immigration crackdown and the ongoing retirement of baby boomers mean fewer people are competing for work.

Senate passes sweeping Russia sanctions bill shepherded by late Graham

By Mary Clare Jahorski and Lisa Mancini ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Senate, overreliable, long-term, and expanding Russian sanctions package Friday, the result of a new long campaign by the latest in Lindsey Ochsbecker's force US support for Ukraine and try to force President Vladimir Putin's hand on the grinding war dragon.

The bipartisan legislation, which passed the Senate

86-11, would penalize countries that continue to live Russian oil, gas and other exports seeking to supply Putin of revenues fueling the war.

It comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zaborsky visited the Capitolhouse after Graham's funeral, met with senators from both parties and watched from the gallery as the future had the first procedure to reinstall work on the legislation.

"Today, President Zaborsky is watching from

Ukraine — and Putin is watching from Moscow," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-C109, who had worked with the late North Carolina senator on the package.

"I would like to think Lindsey Graham is watching me," he said. "Today we say to the people of Ukraine. You are not alone. And today we say to Vladimir Putin. You will not conquer Ukraine."

The sweeping show of force from the Senate is the most substantial move yet during President Donald

Trump's second term to shift the distance of the more than four-year war Congress has struggled to control its funding and mutations flow to Ukraine, but Trump has given a cost to the sanctions package, putting pressure for the House to take it up for a vote and send it to the White House for his signature.

Graham and Blumenthal had announced a deal with the White House on the sanctions legislation on July 10 after more than a year of negotiations with the White

House. Graham died unexpectedly the next Jan likely from an aortic tear.

The bipartisan package that carries Graham's name allows the president to impose tariffs on the world's top five purchasers of Russian oil or natural gas, including China and India. It provides exceptions for a combination of import loss than 25% of their natural gas from Russia and are taking steps to reduce these imports.

The legislation also includes sanctions on Putin

and Russian energy products. It would target older, reflagged oil tankers that Russia uses to circumvent existing US sanctions on oil and energy revenues.

Prosecution and some Republicans have been wary of giving Trump broad authority to align tariffs on imports that have upheld prices for goods, worried about inflation and high costs of living for Americans. Those voting against the thuluglasing were mostly progressive Democrats.

Ukraine war shifts to fight for skies

With ground combat frozen, sides produce more aerial weapons

By Marc Santora THE NEW YORK TIMES

KYIV, Ukraine – As the front line in Ukraine catches into a bloods dandruff, the fudder trajectory of the war is being shaped in the skies.

This air war is an all-encompassing contrast stretching from a few such skies as it shed two lines to satellite in low-faathcofry. In phrase similar to that for a year in the landscape by missiles and drones, though much of the fight remains unseen, in the race to deploy artificial intelligence and control a spectrum of radio waves.

Ukraine is using exploding drones to hit Russian and facilities from Siberia in 38. Petersburg and Russian posts from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. One after, both overthrown of Russian-land, the war is being made going up in flames, and Russia occupied Crimea is being plunged into darkness.

Ukraine is striking fudder far more often than it did earlier in the war, including attacks with cruise missiles on military targets hundreds of miles from the front.

Russia is setting monthly records for its own aerial smokings, exploring gaps in depleted Ukrainian air defenses to death effect.

In July, Moscow food at least 120 ballistic missiles, a wartime high, according to a New York Times analysis of Ukrainian air force data. About 600 civilians died last month in Russia's barrages, which included cruise missiles and drones, making it the deathier month since April 2022.

Before down Wednesday, at least 17 more people were killed in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in an attack that included 24 ballistic missiles and four hypnotous missiles. None of these missiles were shot down, according to the

Ukrainian air force. Beyond the humanistic, the Russian assaults their forced Ukraine to suspend vital grain and steel shipments from its weapons.

The attack's have also distorted already-strapped information, sparing the strike, the country could be handed toward another winter of scarce harang and war. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is essentially two wars in one.

One is waged around the clock by infantry soldiers and drone operators in high-sun, along the 800-mile front.

Russia is still trying to maintain Ukrainian land, at a cost of tens of thousands of soldiers' less-every month, and it is inching forward to the eastern Dushan region.

Ukraine is still defending its territory with its own outnumbered army and trying to regain land where it can, including in the south.

The other war comes in waves through the skies. It

is aimed at distant cities and military sites in both countries, often in the dark of night, and has grown dead like for both Ukrainian and Russian.

The objectives of these aerial assaults go beyond purely military goals. Kyiv is seeking to sleep on the economy, pain for the Kretna, being the war home to Russians and force President Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire on terms he does not dictate.

For Moscow, it is a continuation of a practising campaign to wear drone Ukrainian bombs and render cities unbridled.

The air battle is growing more intense as both sides produce over more innovative weapons at larger and larger scales.

Russia is now putting jet engines on inexpensive drones installed on the Iranian Shabad, launching a commission of smallities to help guide its weapons and rolling out low-cost

cruise missiles that bridge the gap between armed drones and advanced strategic missiles. Russian fighter jet are being satellite guided, glide bombs that reprimate calls stillerate towns and cities.

Ukraine is producing a successful war during several of forces and missile drone by both small-advanced navigation and communication systems that allow them to attack with greater precision across Russia.

Presence. Volodymyr Zelensky is vowing to accelerate need attacks at Ukraine, to first dishonestly the produced ballistic missiles.

Both countries are using new methods to resist slow-tones, including and employing autonomous systems that direct weapons to the targets without humanistic version.

As Russia and Ukraine expand their offensive awards, their air defenses are struggling to keep up with Ukraine is facing acute

shortages of American-designed Patriot stereotype missiles, the country's only defense against Russian ballistic missiles.

Zelensky has interacted his diplomats to push hands to persuade allies to supply more Patriots. But installing 200 million on the ground, the war in Iran, have made the task tougher, and President Donald Trump has walked back a row to allow Ukraine to produce Patriots in the coming years.

For Russia, a primary challenge is defending a real land more that was an asset to get wars that is a healthy now that Ukraine is preparing out long range attack drones.

By adopting software, hard-hours and tactics, Kyiv has opened holes in what was one of the world's most robust air defense network.

A missile Kiregobynski, a Ukrainian air force owner's officer and military analyst, said that before the Russian launched their all-encompassing in 2022, they rolled on

the deterrence provided by these nuclear vessels, for defenses, he said, 'were only able to cover about 40% of their strategic military facilities'.

The first-horse missile and Russia failed to establish air dominance, Russian commanders rushed to move defensive system like the Soviet and the Soviet Ukraine.

While this shielded the front line, a stripped protective from military bases and the airfields on the Russian hinterland.

Now, analysts said, every destroyed launcher and pilot system drove Moscow to make a new attack, bringing the front of defending the country's interior.

'Russia's challenge is fundamentally geographic.' And the Russian forces are researcher at the Royal United Services Institute, a security think tank in London. 'When Ukraine forces Russia to pull systems back from the front line to attack Ukraine, it remains as the one, it creates gap everywhere.'

To plug the emerging holes, Russia has neared to struggle such as investing Patriot batteries on high-rise buildings for a better field of vision and deploying naval warships to protect north-eastern airfields. The Ukraine's Ukrainian commanders also pushed the adult in their own doctrine.

Rather than waiting for controlled approval, pilots are authorised to prove and from planned mission targets if they come upon an opportunity to strike a priority target like a Russian radar or trenches.

Where Ukraine cannot match Russia is in its industrial scale. Moscow shares our standardized strike drones, known and cruise missiles by the Ukrainian Ukrainian intelligence agencies, estimates that Russia produces about 120 ballistic missiles every month, replacing the total, by production of Patriot stereotypes.

Thai authorities: Student fatally shoots grandparents, 5 teachers

By Muktita Subartomo and Mau Kim THE NEW YORK TIMES

BANQUOK – The boy boardman's handguns on the facing line to create second Songkran, the Thai New Year, celebrated every April.

On Friday, Thai authorities said, he and the same woman, who had been having a big grandfather, to kill seven people and affect their families on himself. The more shooting, intense fears by revived a debate about gun laws in the country.

The boy did and killed his grandfather and grandmother, with whom he lived on Friday morning. She also went to his high school, the Dehachi Northview School, northward of Bangkok, and at some point opened fire.

In a video of the shooting posted by social media, who said, "I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not a good man, I was not

In the end, he killed five teachers, wounded nearly 30 other people, and then turned the weapon on himself, Thailand's prime

minister, Amatn Charwoskul, told reporters Friday evening.

Nine people remain in critical condition. The shooter was taken to the hospital but eventually died from his injuries. The police found the handgun one of the shooter along with more than 30 rounds of ammunition.

'Some way, somehow, we don't know how, this child got access to the gun,' Amatn said, adding that the weapon had been registered with the authorities. The shoot of a same was not released because he was a minor.

It was not clear how he had planned the attack, Amatn said, adding that the boy had been stressed about his studies. The prime minister did not provide more details but said the shooter's grandmother was a retired teacher and had been out of with him because she wanted him to do well in school.

In recent days, the boy had told his best friend (this by his own brother) he said of that pressure, according to Amatn.

Thailand, which has one of the highest-men of the first ownership of the Black Asia, has in recent years had several deadly high-profile mass shootings, which have fueled calls for stricter firearm controls in the country.

Many guns are sold by government officials or law enforcement officers, who are allowed to buy as many weapons as they want from the government at a steep discount. As a result, a black market of firearms thrives, headed by an arms-struggling trade between Myanmar and Thailand. Although Thailand has some gun laws, experts say, a lack of enforcement can render them not there.

'The law is clear,' Amatn said. 'The general public, those who have no government or official duties, are not allowed to carry guns outside their house.'

The prime minister said he would introduce a new gun control law but did not give specifics.

'When I became prime minister, one of my to-do things was to issue a new law regarding weapons, and it is still in the process,' he said.

In 2022, a former police officer fatally shot or stabbed over than 20 people – more 'thrift children' – at a dancer's center in Nong Bua Langkha province.

One year later, a 24-year-old shooter opened fire at one of Bangkok's largest shopping malls, killing two and 6一起 dog fire-others.

Last year, a 10-year-old man opened fire at a market place in Bangkok, killing five.

Hamilton Ok to lead FEMA as Senate clears 74 Trump nominees

By Gabriela Asun magazine ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Senate on Friday confirmed General Hamilton as head of the National Emergency Management Agency, returning the former Navy FEMA to the unheated agency he led temporarily last year only to his first-father to publicly opposed disunfaring a

Hamilton was among a group of 74 nominations approved by the Senate, including the National Emergency Team's pick to lead the Trump-nominee Security Administration, David Cummins, and the choice for Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Perez.

Upon his sweeping Hamilton will take over an agency whose future has been uncertain since Trump threatened ined of it due to the loss of security. The state's nominations signaled that Trump may be moving on from that date, but his Republican administration is not in the coming dream, changes in how the government handles disasters.

Hamilton will have to shepherd that overhaul while stabilizing an agency of more than 20,000 employees recovering from Killed Noxon's chaotic tenure as Department of Homeland Security and the state's position to which FEMA save mass staff department. Enterprises to grant programs and delays of disaster aid.

While her successor, former Oklahoma's New Blacktroops' director, last worked to reverse some of the upheaval. Democrats are accusing Trump of politicking disease while Trump has approved the 2020-2021 for requests from Republicans government not only about 60% from Democratic governors, a 100-mile by 70% American President's Senators.

In his last hearing before the Senate committee, Hamilton pledged to advocate the FEMA and its own forces while promising to ensure

FEMA is 'objective, is fair and reasonable, follows the law and is consistent in the approach to how we adjust our and prevent claims and requests for disasters.'

The also considered that the agency is burdened by bureaucracy and cannot be expected to respond to every disaster. 'We would need to offer more balance of our encourage cost reasonableness and cost savings,' he said.

Hamilton had limited emergency management experience before Trump named him FEMA'sang, very leader in January 2025. Formerly a critic of the agency, Hamilton has said he came to appreciate FEMA's mission. His tenure proved more often for broke with Noam and other 2000 officials over FEMA's fence.

'I do not believe it in the best interest of the Ameri, can people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,' Hamilton said. His59-year-old A&E 2025, 70, was fired like next day.

His stand drew admiralism among some emergency management professionals. 'It tells you exactly who he is and how he will lead when the pressure is higher or and the cost answer is more than one.' Two former FEMA's administrative in Trump's first term, said in a statement supporting Hamilton's confirmation.

The National Emergency

Management Association said it welcomes Hamilton as the 'best of the people'.

Still, some FEMA staffers have remained very ill. Hamilton's role in controversial dictation last year like cancelling a multibillion-dollar conference grant program.

Hamilton will take over in the midlife of clear summer disaster season that has already brought American insurgency to dangerous flooding and as FEMA's company more than 1,000 open disaster declarations.

More than 1,000 employees separate from FEMA in the 2023 budget year, more than 1,000 through voluntary reductions, resulting in a 'low of institutional and public health standards' according to a Government Accountability Office report.

Since replacing Noam in March, Malibu has reduced for some diminishing position and expanded a rule that are expense greater than $100,000 needed to be approved by the secretary's office – a requirement that the FEMA plans of dollars in disaster aid.

But 1000 has introduced policies altering up controversy. Recent fire arms and firearms are debated and the Trump administration last month over over election security requirements to FEMA's counterterrorism grants to states.

2026 hasn't broken heat records yet

But scientists say to wait until El Nino hikes temperatures

By Seth Borenstein ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wildfires are burning in North America and Europe. Insults heat waves have parked over cities, and the world's oceans are the hottest ever recorded for this time of year. A strengthening El Nino is the curb that off-the-citures, spiking global temperatures and warping weather allows.

While it may seem like the planet is hiding through a record-shortening summer, it's not quite in record-hours, too.

So far this is only the third-hottest year, behind 2024 and 2025, climate statistics show. But per 2024 time, Because of a one-two punch of accelerated human-caused global warming and a superimid El Nino, there's an increasing chance that by the end of the year, 2026 could die out the crown for the hottest year on record, eclipsing 2024 — or at least some close, scantotest and. From a time, even if under record, it won't last long. Although scientists disagree on whether 2024 will be the hottest year on record, they're not going to be the first time that 2027 will heat out any modern year for heat, insults by a good deal.

With even around the globe, so much of the years people didn't put much attention to climate change. "because the world was on fire as different ways. The world is now on fire again with climate change to cover their increasingly difficult regions," said climate scientist Zaha Haunfather of Zechler, let him. "It's going to keep getting away."

Haunfather calculated there's a 31% chance that 2024 will grow 2024 as the hottest year on record. But Haunfather keeps increasing hours with warm record month — up from only 7% in

March.

Pioneer top NASA climate scientist James Hansen, often called the publisher of climate science for 10 years of accurate long-term warming, predicted that 2024 will be the largest 2024 at the end of the year.

The world's daily sea surface temperature tied 2024 starting in May and the entire year it's been record, but nearly every day. With oceans more than 70% of the globe's surface, there's generally a month-and-a-half lag between heat down and up to oceans and then being reflected in the global average temperature, Hansen said. So it's about time that the entire globe starts shuttering records, he said.

About 82% of the world's ocean surface is overhotized with marine heat waves this year, according to Europe's Copernicus climate service. About a month ago the U.S. National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration and Surface War in the world's climate that 2024 would be the fourth-hottest and only a 0.1% chance it would be. So, like warmth by year's end, NASA transitioning chief Russell Von and those odds will be rising when NOAA flashes its analysis from July.

Haunfather said what's changing methods is the increasingly strong forecasts for a "mind-matching" record-setting El Nino.

El Nino is a natural temporary warming of parts of the equatorial Pacific that faces up the globe's average temperature and warp weather extremes across the planet. Most forecasts have El Nino becoming the strongest in history. El Nino always release post-uy heat in the ocean, but because of greenhouse gases trapping heat and 40% of it going into the world's sea, there's more heat to release, said Zachary Lake, a climate scien-

tist at Climate Central, a science and communication nonprofit.

The amount of heat in the world's oceans — a marker of human-caused climate change — keeps setting over record highs, Lake said.

Climate scientists said what we've seen that summer can't be blamed on El Nino because its impacts could don't kick in for a few more months. The first, heat and extremes that have dominated the summer of 2026 are what scientists have long been warming about from the burning of cold, oil and gas.

The driver of the record warmth is climate change in the background. And it's a much larger — much, much larger — contribution than El Nino, which is just unable to two-trothe of a degree on top of that long-term record, Lake said.

"That warming is accelerating the second." That's because tradi-

tional industrial pollution that creates next and once — which cool the planet and mask greenhouse gas-triggered warming — is decreasing. Hammond, Alex, it looks at if the climate might be reacting to greenhouse gases stronger than scientists anticipated, he said.

This summer's heat waves have far lost its places where people aren't used to triple-digit heat, unlike in the tropics, climate scientists said. And they've been especially noticeable at night, making it hard for people to sleep, which requires their health and that ability to be productive at work, and Samantha Burgess, global strategic lead at Copernicus climate service.

She pointed to Europe, where there was an "exceptional" heat wave in May, another in June, two in July and another one going on now in France and Spain. "European heat waves are

netcisealism. So there's also been shocking heat waves in North America. There's been shockingly hot conditions in South America as well. There's been decreasing heat waves in India," Burgess said. "There's always heat waves somewhere in the world sometime, but what is very unusual for Europe for this particular year is the frequency and extent of the heat wave."

Precocious University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said this is what scientists have long been warming about.

"There are vivid pictures of not just the future, which is what we used to see, but on the whole of what climate change is doing. There's no question that climate change has become the risk of wildfires. There's no question that the climate change increased the probability of really heat, even unprecedented numbers around the world."

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan ink defensive pact amid regional wars

FROM NEWS SERVICES

ANKARA, Turkey — Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a defense agreement Friday that would treat an attack on one as an attack on all three, officials said, while doing cooperation between the three regional powers at a time of growing security concerns.

The agreement was held on 4th Saudi July 2024 of Mecca by Saudi Covers Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, according to statements from all three countries.

The "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between the three Saudi Arabia ongoing to be held on 4th Saudi Arabia and nuclear power Pakistan as well as Turkey, which has NATO's second largest army and a regional growing defense industry. It would increase cooperation and deterrence at a time of increased regional uncertainty and threat from the war in Iran.

"The agreement is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression and the defense of the Arab world against any one of the three states shall be regarded as an attack against them all," the statement read.

"I further prescribe for the enforcement of all aspects of defense and defense between the three States," the statement said.

Saudi Arabia, whose critical infrastructure and its functions are to reduce the attack as part of the war in Iran, has been looking to diversify its defense partnerships.

In September, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a mutual defense pact that the defense any attack on either nations as an attack on both. The agreement also comes

amid rising tensions between Turkey and Israel over Gaza and other regional conflicts, including the war in Iran and Lebanon.

The deal highlights how far relations between Saudi Arabia and Turkey have shifted toward alignment and partnership, after being highly strained just a few years ago, including over the killing of Saudi journalists Jamal Khashwant in Istanbul by Saudi operatives.

In Iran, Khedam Bousai is member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, criticized the deal on 3, saying it would not bring security to Saudi Arabia.

Laura Benanti in "Nobody Cares" at Shoppensoft Theatre, ANDRY BRUNNUS

REVIEW 'LAURA BENANTI'S 'NOBODY CARES'

Sharp-elbowed satire from a recovering ingenue

By Chris Jones CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"I'm a little nervous about doing an autobiographical one-woman show." Laura Benanti said Friday as she took the stage at Chicago's Shoppensoft Theatre "Because, fine of all, gross."

Well, not at all. But the setup was indicative of a shly self-protective undertone in a strikingly funny show from Benanti and director Annie Tippo that looks to further shift her persona away from being a Broadway star with a specialty in Golden Age musicals to a feminist stand-up survivor ready and able to mine her three marriages (two, she follows, to a "man-child" (for seemingly if not actually) self-deprecating material.

IF YOU GO "Nobody Cares" stays through Sunday at Shoppensoft Theatre, NORTH, MARIED ST., 312-335-9650 and www.shoppensoft.org

Don't be fooled by the title, "Nobody Cares." Benanti very much wants her audience to care. Nor she also wants to take control of her own narrative at this juncture to her career. Her show is later focused on Gen. S. women, a demographic that mostly filled the Shoppensoft team. So much so, in fact, that Benanti said she wanted to apologize to her gay fans "for talking so much about my vagina."

If you were expecting musical selections from "The Sound of Music," "Cinderella" or "Gypsy," you'll be disappointed. Benanti does not look back with fondness or nostalgia on her career as an ingenue, cutting herself as a

recovered "people pleasan" who failed to stand up for herself as a young woman encountering questionable Broadway man, including two husbands and a somehow "powerful" producer who propositioned her 19-year-old self-indeed, her show, tellingly, has no Broadway selections whatsoever, excepting a few satirical teenagers from "Smellin the Chinese." Along with Benanti's patter, you get original, witty parody songs (co-written with Todd Almond) covering topics like childbirth, motherhood and pro-mensipism.

Benanti's brutal impression of Melanie Trump on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" attracted much attention, and that's the vibe here, albeit with the aforementioned autobiographical slant. Despite the three musicians on stage, "Nobody Cares" really is a stand-up set, and a caustic, sharp-elbowed one at that. With language like "recovery

journey" front and center, at times it feels like "Nobody Cares" is a post-therapy manifesto (not that there is anything wrong with that), and, of course, you are only getting one point of view on her three marriages (not that there is anything wrong with that). But there are plenty of affirmative laughs in her roughly 40-minute set, to turn to which are not cheap.

"How many of you have slept with someone because you didn't want to hurt their feelings?" she asked at one point, an amazingly challenging hit of audience participation that caused quite the ripple and a few hands going up and down and then halfway up again. Some of the men in the room could be soon glancing nervously at their dates.

No encore, this version of Benanti was not about to come out and sing, "Some day, my prince will come."

Stuntwoman makes movie magic as Damon's double

By Alisha Haridasani Gupta THE NEW YORK TIMES

Devyn Dalton recently received, quite possibly, the world's biggest conspirators. She was in New Zealand filming her next project, when she was produced at a 2.0, by the buzz of her phone. "I was like, 'What is going on?' It just blew up—my phone was going crazy," Dalton, 14, said.

What was going on was that actor Matt Damon — who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Homer's epistle — had said in an interview that Dalton had "the greatest arms I have ever seen." Her friends were sending her clip of the interview as it was ripping through the internet.

Damon had been discussing one of the film's pivotal scenes when he gently corrected his interlocutor, who had mindfully assumed the heaps in the shot were his own. They belonged to Dalton, who some might be surprised to learn in his more double. She's a woman standing in for a male actor, for starters, she's also 4-foot-6 to

Devyn Dalton plays Matt Damon's smart double in a pivotal scene of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" REYNOLDS

Damon's roughly 5-foot-10 frame. It's a lot of movie magic, Damon explained. To film the battle against Roman-eating Laxotrypanism, Nolan used a technique called "forced perspective"

to make Odysseus' army appear memorable. A shot of Dalton from behind in the scene, holding a sword and ready to pounce at the giants, is used in one of the posters for the

movie.

Dalton, born and raised in Canada, trained as a dancer initially and started performing starts in 2011 after she was cast in the "Planet of the Apes" trilogy. Her more recent credits include "Wrappers" and "The Last of Oz."

"The Odyssey" is the first time Dalton has done starts for a male A-Inter — a rare feat in an industry where, according to the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio-Action series, women make up little more than 20% of performers. This interview with Dalton has been edited for clarity and length.

Q: Is it common practice for a woman to double for a male lead?

A: Definitely not common. I think men have been doubling for women to longer in the industry. But with starts, the main thing is, who is the best fit for what they're looking for physically? And, most importantly, who has the specific skill set needed? Increasingly, with wardrobe, hair and makeup, we get to do movie magic and

transform people, and it doesn't matter so much about gender. This is the first time doubling for a Hollywood leading man. I never thought I would have that on my resume.

Q: Have you received this kind of specific shoot-out from a leading actor before?

A: It is uncommon because, even though you're in front of the camera, if you're doubling and you're done your job right, the audience shouldn't know it's you. Part of our job is being hidden. I have to say a huge thank you to Matt for being so generous.

Q: Were you and Damon on set together working on that fight choreography?

A: Yeah. Most of the time, on any film I've been on, you end up working with the actor and being there on the same day because you're both a part of a sequence and you're both portraying the same character. When doubling for someone, I'll always specifically watch film, what how did they walk with first? People also just have little tendencies, like they might lean to

one side or more a certain way. So I study all of that and try to mimic it exactly. That's what calls it so well on camera.

Q: Did you need any special training for this role?

A: This has been years of work building out my skills. I try to be very versatile by doing a lot of different training methods to just stay ready, so that whenever the phone rings, I'm like, "OK, I'm good to go."

That's the thing with starts — the training never ends. In the past, I've done a few really cool underwater fight scenes, and so I took courses that focused on water safety, breath holding and cold water because a lot of the times you're not working in a warm situation, and so you have to learn how to manage the temperature. And you're in costume and makeup and you have to be underwater with your own spot.

Q: Are there starts you're had to do that scared you? A: I think the fear for my always comes from a place of setting very high standards for myself. I always want to do a really good job.

I was rated by Arkansas, and every funk had either a word or a really great person – there were all kinds of characters, and there's a lot of storytelling and imitating that goes on down there. And it seems a fun atmosphere in terms of talking about characters.

"And I always loved it. I guess that's probably why I do what I do in movies. I always play somebody inside different TV that is play like myself in every movie or TV show. I don't know if I'll have very much fun at it. Hopefully not be obvious reasons," he adds.

Scialli was absent from the video, but Springstown said for Scialli's out of office a lesson he hopes

"every American can understand." "My final research isn't an idea. It isn't politics," he said. "I'm not in a budget. It's the reason why families find hope when hope seems hardest to find."

Partner grows self-conscious after girlfriend's comments about body

R. BOB THORNE

JASON'S DRIVE

Dear Bob: I am a 64-year-old male with slightly older down to age 18. In attention practically all the time, While many girlfriend doesn't seem to have a problem with it, yet so, the maker, light of the new often, can't amortizing its feel a tad on the freckled side.

"How are Fliers Peak and Mount McKinley really?" I'm not sample of the first jibon. I have never thought much of it but am now starting to wonder about the causes and any possible problems. I am too embarrassed to add my doctor about it.

Can you please advise my suggestion for bringing down Peak and McKinley and how best to respond to my new question? I'm sure when the start-up with the napkin a shot? I don't want to be overensitive.

Poor, Pork

Dear Paskin: You might look into the sign that returns a obsession to prevent choking. This is different from the other. I'm sure the adhesive is formulated to be kinked to sensitive skin.

Tape is a temporary solution, of course, because it is not a sign that it is a bit of the necessary to discomfort you feel so that you can see it. The paper parts of the situation that are forthcoming too.

It's worth your time to talk to a medical professional that you trust about this. Your doctor has made a test and found everything. This isn't something about what is you should feel like doing it. It's something that's just happening in your body.

You're not doing anything to make it happen, and even it's not even a good doctor just going to judge

you or chatter you. If you don't feel you can bring it up to your doctor, consider talking with someone you don't know at any one. So it's not a bit of a problem. But also consider changing doctors to someone you want.

Acts your girlfriend. Sometimes comments that start out as much as, even well-received, jokes can clash as much as, well, a shirt on a long-distance runner. And just like the other, they do, you can and should make adjustments to get comfortable.

In this case, that means talking your girlfriend. I don't know how to do anything by it, but would you stop making light of an signbar?

You don't need to explain why the further of you don't want to. Hopefully, the 7-hour what you're asking and make the change. It's not overly sensitive. It's good communication.

How first I've been volunteering as a tour guide at a small baron, am for about two years. The site is one of a handful managed by a city department.

While most of us volunteer our seniors, the staff's much younger. But they've always been friendly and welcoming. I need to get good feedback on my tours and enjoy it. And someone hours are limited.

Recently, a small larger site, managed by a state organization, advertised by volunteers.

However, I'm finding the atmosphere to be not all that friendly. First of, two of the guides I shall send were a little cool, even though it only amounted to an extra you can offer to us.

Since then, I've worked out a couple of people whom I knew from the other who when I volunteer, who are friendly but didn't agree to me, who won the country, who is someone with older volunteers they

know and ignore me. I should emphasize that I'm not a sensitive person looking for digital. My attitude, when adults behave like middle schools, is to take the high road and ignore it. My enjoyment comes to giving tours. That said, the site is desperate for volunteers.

And so I would be managerial staff to have to fill open shifts. I've also been told that many people train but never come back.

I'm doing with whether I should make management and review of what I've noticed, since it might be the key to their problem. I'm should I tell mind my business, run my tours and go home?

Disillusioned Volunteer

Dear Volunteer: It has a helpful to split the different classes. If you enjoy giving the tours at the state-run site, consider focusing on that for a bit and stay out of office politics.

By having a good content, you may find that the baron is home and will start to show and that could be your opportunity to see if they're open to some feedback.

There's no reason for anyone to give you the cold shoulder, especially as a person who has been able to do so, they're used to people training and not coming back, they're making make an atmosphere about you and whether you'll love.

This is not a lot because something of a self-faithing prophecy – if they're rude to save people because they don't want to save people to stay well, of course the save people won't stay. But if you enjoy your social risk, don't let their behavior rely you if that opportunity.

MUSIC REVIEW

Grande give fame cold shoulder

By Lindsay Zolade

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Given a career's finish, Ariana Grande's current list—the 4th, didn't end strongly alluring "Hate That I Made You Love Me"—would be the perfect pop music all the 4 romance goes over—the kind of story that Grande is usually an expert on achieving what he has to live on all thirty charters.

But there is a couple of ratings next on the bridys, John Grande's work that was a good time, and the addressing is not one person has many. "Is it really my fault—you all give me your busiest or more, you see it?" He tells all the arrangement simplifies down to little more than an acoustic guitar, emphasizing her question all the more. That first came through as different light, and the other, the more and more cool. In "Hate That I Made You Love Me" actually a barbed song about her own main show, even though it was.

Possibly The 33-year-old pop star and actor sounds irritated with the invasive nature of these through-out her steely new album, "Petit," which trades her signature off every one of her something darker and more revealing. "All of my favorite songs are a little more than a caraminting," Grande says on the title track, a 2ndly sale to self-reliance and her love-func related rating with pop smokers that creeps along as three times.

The 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, and a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP, was a 2nd LP

and lack the charisma and humorous of the best work. The middle of the albums is the same song, only once signed by the propulsion, history-strong of the penal-tonate track, "Bad Thing (Raven Ring)" a dreamy, and a daunting with obvious but potential.

Grande steps on the title track of a "petal in the permanent" current storage show, and the 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, from Seattle on investment. Consider the startling, specificity Grande could command on a song like "The 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, a 2nd LP

So far, at least, that the 2nd LP has one come true Grande released "Petit" while in the middle of a tour — her first is six years — to promote her previous album, the 2024 release "Rovral Sunshine." That supper's suggests "Petit" is the sort of album's musical studio when she is something new or important to express, but there 13 tracks are doing a potentially light on revolution.

Like "Rovral Sunshine," Grande is a worst and consistent at the moment on "Petit" with Max Martin and her collaborator, the Submarade. (The credits specify that Grande wrote her in a lyrics herself.) That previous album was a work of sharp craftsmanship and tonal variety, but "Petit" feels much and more extreme in comparison, in usual, Grande's words are lovely and impressively arranged. But the material here is mostly a murse of sluggish tempo

that lacks the charisma and humorous of the best work. The middle of the albums is the same song, only once signed by the propulsion, history-strong of the penal-tonate track, "Bad Thing (Raven Ring)" a dreamy, and a daunting with obvious but potential.

Grande steps on the title track of a "petal in the permanent" current storage show, and the 2nd LP, a 2nd LP, from Seattle on investment. Consider the startling, specificity Grande could command on a song like "Rovral Sunshine," and a daunting with the same song, and a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same song, a daunting with the same

Although that sounds and approaches are world's space, "Petit" shares some uncanny narrative similarities with another recent release, Charli SCO's "Music, Paddons, Filter" — another up-to-the-minute minions from a 33-year-old musicalist working out whether she can creatively coexist as an actor and a pop star. Charli SCO found a winning approach by writing about her performance in candid detail, and in dissenting her own celebrity with the self-awareness and being tattered by the Grande employed on "Charli U. Note."

By contrast, "Petit" unfolds at a remove. There's nothing just outside wrong with the pickliness of the gestures toward on "Hate That I Made You Love Me" and the other kingpands with these songs on this album, her liking impression offers more questions than answers. Does Grande still love being a pop star? Does she love it too? The petals could fall either way

The "Blue Bloods" cast and production crew took steep pay cuts in a bid to keep the show on the air as CBS' star hovered in 2023, but that didn't prevent its cancellation, had actor Tom Sellock divulged recently.

It was one of many commentaries the series made to keep the family-focused police procedural alive, he told Ted Dusson on the "Chaser" slam's podcast, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name."

"Blue Bloods" was a labor of two, it think for everybody," said Sellock, who portrayed fictional NYPD commissioner and family patriarch Frank Reagan on the drama about smutigourational law enforcement family.

"So the last year ... at our last family shows, everybody wanted to come back," the original "Magnum, P.I." star told Dusson, "We'd already taken a 25 percent cut in salary. We'd already done all sorts of things to keep the show going."

Some of it worked, and Sellock is still according, his head. "Blue Bloods" was still wildly popular when CBS dropped the star with its 2023 announcer, more than the series would conclude in 2024, after its 34th season.

"It was very frustrating because 'Blue Bloods' was No. 6 in our 20th year," Sellock told Dusson, noting the rarity of keeping an original cast since the final time, "Melody makes the show. Everybody was gonna stay on, That's hard to get."

That spirit was apparently no match for CBS Entertainment's need to "refresh the schedule," as division president Amy Rosenbach explained at a 2023 press conference.

"We know the cast, we love their passion for the show," she said of "Blue Bloods," according to Dead Star. "All shows have to come to an end."

Tom Sellock says "Blue Bloods" cast and crew took a 25% cut to try to save the show. JAMES MCCARTHY/GETTY 2007

Disney, TikTok partner up: Walt Disney Co. has announced a new partnership with TikTok that will lead to more creative made vertical videos appearing on the Disney+ streaming app. Under the turmoil of the agreement, TikTok will give creators who choose to participate across to search from hundreds of Disney movies and television shows for use to share them videos that will appear on the social media platform, as well as to the North vertical video feed on the Disney+ app. These videos will be able to feature characters and stories from Disney brands such as Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and F.S.

The effort will start in the coming months in the U.S. with additional markets to follow, the two companies said in a recently released statement. The move comes as Disney looks to boost engagement and reduce their costs in streaming platforms. Streaming Canada's Chief Executive, both Disney+ plans to make the app into the "digital centerpiece" of the company.

"Today, fans are celebrating our stories as entirely new ways," dead Style. Disney's chief marketing and brand office, said in the statement. "The collaboration creates a new bridge between the stories we tell and the creativity they inspire, giving creators a bigger stage to share what

they've made, and audio encounters to discover on Disney+ every day."

Netflix supports Mid-ventric programs. Netflix recently announced more content for kids is coming to the streamer, with a new talking and crafting competition series inspired by "Gallery's Dollhouse."

The new competition program might benefit from its coming fashion, as its challenges are inspired by the popular show and features young father does. The program is part of a larger wave of kids programming coming to Netflix. Last year, Netflix struck a deal for the worldwide premiere rights to "Sesame Street," after Warner Bros. Discovery said it would be longer-land production on new episodes.

Other new kids shows on Netflix include the third season of preached comedy "Dr. Souls's Bird Fish, Blue Fish" and the upcoming second season of "Sheriff's, drudler," which helps children learn safety tips. Netflix also said its podcast "Bedtime Stories with Netflix Jr." which tells stories from world's including "Gallery's Dollhouse" and "Dr. Souls," is available for streaming on Netflix. Netflix Playground, the company's game app, will also add more games, including "My Very Mungry Caterpillar," later that year.

Horoscopes

If August 8 is your birthday: Insights for your journey through life could be flying in now; next steps could come into perfect clarity. While much of 2026 thus far has likely presented challenges, July should have kicked off an easier remainder of the year.

Aries (March 23-April 19): Horoscope's committed to misunderstanding, let them. You could receive some pushback today if you trigger something that's unhealer.

Taurus (April 28-May 20): Any purchases or other money moves made today will likely be driven by high emotion and not solid reasoning. Wait for feelings to settle before finalizing anything. Something at home could be moving forward. Gemini (May 23-June 20): If the world pushes, you could default to digging your heels in or meeting the push with equal or greater agreement.

Cancer (June 23-July 22): Both shame and fear can give you as place, anger when moves things. Learn from your past by learning to face what helps you stuck.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your path could start to look like a yellow brick road unfolding magically in front of you. Don't be afraid to take the first step.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lean in to the a-ha's' that emerge now, your growth could be both rapid and stable. Do your best to create cooperation today, though it could be difficult to bring all parties together for a few hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some of your usual comfortable online 'watering holes' might deliver content that repels or aggravates you today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying to mop up some kind of disappointment could not create greater entanglement today. While it's a positive day in the Universal sky, things aren't peaceful in your shared financial realm now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Feathers could be easily ruffled for a few hours and cooperation could more impossible. Stay natural and let those other pass.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20): While you need to do what's needed, you may need more than one reset before you're through today. Adjust expectations accordingly.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you're in a relationship, your partner could have the perfect plan for the evening, or for eternity. If you are single, assert boundaries as needed. Use art or music as a catalyst for expressing strong emotions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When you're in a current carrying you forward, swim back with extra momentum. A flashpoint at home could help release pent-up frustrations and ultimately move things in a better direction.

North know from the bidding that his partner was void in hearts, so he reasoned that his black suit "quads" would be very useful. He was right. Should the trumps split no worse than it's. Here could never be more than two hours and a winning diamond license would provide 12 tricks. North

ruffed the opening heart lead and led a spade to dummy's quest. The 6-0 split comps the 12-things. If South took the diamond license and it lost. West would lead another heart, forcing South to

ruff. It would then take all of South's trumps to draw East's trumps and East would eventually get a club and a boost. If South led a club instead of drawing trumps right away, East could win and lead another heart. South would then have fewer trumps than East and would have to lose a trump back.

South abandoned trumps for the moment. He led a low club from dummy and caught East on "Morton's Fork." Had East risen with his ace, South would have three club tricks to go with six trump tricks and two diamonds. When East ducked his ace, South took the long and slow trumps. He then placed the ace, king, and jack of diamonds, again having a lead. It was a difficult problem, but South found a neat solution.

Return trip this fall?

Gausman eager for another dose of 'addicting drug': World Series

By Meghan Montamurre CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Kevin Gausman's mission with the Cubs remains part of an ongoing pursuit throughout his 14 major league season.

He reached the World Series last year with Toronto, getting the Game 6 start, yet ultimately was part of a performance run that fell devastatingly short against the Dodgers as the Blue Jays couldn't close out a 3-2 series

lead and dropped Game 7 in extra innings. The Cubs' acquisition of Gausman signaled not only the front office's belief in the center but in the 36-year-old's track record and postseason experience.

And for Gausman, there's only one goal in mind: returning to the World Series — this time with the Cubs.

"It's an addicting drug once you get there," Gausman said Wednesday. "Losing was heart-

breaking, but I wish every big-leaguer could experience playing in the World Series because that's what we all dreamt of as kids, and to be able to do it was so much fun but also very heartbreaking. And once you've there, all you want to do is get back, so I'm really excited to hopefully get back there with this team."

Gausman made his Cubs debut Friday night against the

Royals looking to be a little more consistent. Since his roughest outing of the season June 30 versus — coincidentally — the Cubs, Gausman has a 6-4T ERA with 10 walks in 60% innings.

"The biggest thing, I need to be an innings enter here, and that's why they brought me here a to start games and go deep into games like I always have," Gausman said.

President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer had long had Gausman on his radar dating to the right-hander's days in

Bears place DB Flowers on IR

By Brad Biggs CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Bears avoided potential scares during a physical and spiritual practice Thursday morning at Biloxi Hall, but they didn't come away unscathed.

Left tackle Beatrice Jones (lone) and defensive end Monica Sweat (undisclosed) both visited practice each with an elderly trainer, but the belief is neither veteran suffered a serious injury.

Defensive忘schi Gervarrise Owens and Dallas Flowers both suffered much more serious injuries. Owens had to be carted off the field with a left leg injury, and Flowers needed help limping off with a right leg injury.

On Friday afternoon, the team placed Flowers on injured reserve and signed veteran safety Xavier Woods Flowers, an Oak Park River Forest graduate, spent most of last season on the practice squad and appeared in one regular-season game.

Woods, 31, is entering his 10th season. He started 10 games for the Tennessee Titans in 2023 and has made 121 starts. The Bears have been working without Coly Bryant after the safety suffered a knee injury that will sideline him into the regular season. Owens' status is not known, but the team didn't make a roster move involving him Friday.

Jones, who had received the vast majority of snaps with the starters during the week before the injury, is considered day to day. Kirao, hangedike replaced him Thursday, three the Bears will handle rope Saturday and handle will be interesting. Veteran Judrick Wilk, Jr. has been sprinkled in with the first unit, and it could be an opportunity for him to get more runway.

Coach Ben Johnson said before Thursday's practice that the process of identifying the starting left tackle was advancing.

"We're hoping you know, maybe middle of next week we'll have a lot of clarity there," Johnson said. "We're going to continue to roll guts through. Kirao's certainly taking some reps over there. Judrick, Theo (Brande) is in the mix. I mean, this is not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination. We're going to continue to rock guts through."

It's yet to be known if Jones' minor setback will push back that timeline, but Johnson made it clear

Conservative groups plan rally outside United Center

By Julia Poe CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Members of two conservative groups are planning a rally in support of Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham outside of the United Center ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bay.

The Chicago Young Republicans and XX-XY Athletics will host the rally at 1 p.m. on Madison Street near the atrium ahead of the 2:30 p.m. tipoff. This same space has been used for rallies in the past, most recently including a protest of striking concessions workers

in 2023. Cunningham has drawn increased attention from the right for repeatedly voicing her stances on barring transgender girls from participation in youth sports.

The Sky will not alter any stadium policies in anticipation of potential protests made or outside the arena.

For the United Center, the arena does not allow fans to bring in any type of bliss the cloth flag for any event in the arena — although fans at Beth games and other events have displayed them for years. Fans also are allowed to bring in homemade signs and banners that measure 8.5

by 11 inches. But any signage with polos, sticks or other hard opportunes is not allowed into the building. Similarly, signs with profane or "offensive" language will be barred.

According to United Center policy, security is empowered to confiscate "signs that are not event-related, contain indecent or derogatory comments/images or signs otherwise deemed inappropriate." The Sky have not issued a public determination on what will be considered "derogatory" ahead of Saturday's game.

Offensive assistant Robbie Picazo harasses wide receiver Kalif Raymond last month during a drill at training camp at Halas Hall. STACEY WESCOTT/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

BEARS

Young receivers latch on to veteran Raymond: 'I've been staying on his hip'

By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE

On Zirion Thomas' first day at Halas Hall, coach Ben Johnson had some advice for the Chicago Bears rookie.

"(We) have a guy named Kalif, I want you to follow him around, I want you to do everything that he does," Thomas recalled Johnson telling him.

In the months since, that's exactly what Thomas has done. "I've been staying on his hip," Thomas said.

He's not the only one.

The Bears signed Raymond to a one-year contract during five agency in March. Almost immediately Raymond became something of an older statesman for this wide receiver group. Ask any Bears without how things are going during training camp and he will invariably bring up Raymond's veteran presence.

"Kalif is a guy that — he does everything right," said Thomas. A third-round draft pick out of LSU. "He's really like a coach out there," Luther Burden III said.

"He's very crafty," Rome Odunze added.

With DJ Moore gone, nearly all of the Bears receivers are in their early 20s. Raymond, who turns 18 on Saturday, can provide some of the veteran knowhow that every position group needs on a good football team. He came to Chicago with experience in Johnson's offense and with a means to back-up Raymond in a two-time second team All-Pro as a punt returner and he has stepped up as a receiver when called upon.

His best seasons as a receiver came when Johnson was the offensive coordinator in 2022 with the Detroit Lions. Raymond totaled 6 catches for 6th yards.

But success for Raymond in 2024 isn't necessarily going to be defined by the numbers on the star line. The Bears know that Odunze and Burden should be their top two receivers, assuming they stay healthy.

Raymond is trying to carve out a role for himself at the No. 1 One teammate who could compete for playing time with Raymond in the rookie Thomas.

The fact Raymond is willing to show the ropes to Thomas — a player he is ostensibly competing with for playing time — is exactly why everybody in the building is racing about Raymond. He's genuinely excited to watch his teammates get better, even if it might mean fewer opportunities for himself.

"That guy (Thomas) along with being incredibly talented, he is a sponge," Raymond said. "I'm so excited for who he is and who he's going to be."

Thomas recently tested Raymond's video of the radio-visibility exercises he does every night before bed. Raymond was impressed. Those are the types of little things that a 22-year-old rookie might blow off. Thomas has youth on his side — and nature and ability.

"I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man, I'm not a good man

"I'm looking at the videos like, one, I need to get on this, no wonder he's so fast," Raymond said. "But two, this kind of mentality, that kind of creates that consistency,

that discipline, that longevity." And if anybody knows a thing or two about longevity in the league, it's Raymond.

He's a classic example of an undrafted rookie who had to scratch and close his way onto a roster. Coming out of Holy Cross in 2016, Raymond bounced around with four teams in five seasons before landing in Detroit at the perfect time. He started 24 games for the 2021 Lions, who won only three games, and he started on as they emerged as one of the NFL's most explosive offenses behind Johnson.

At the same time, Raymond came into his own as a punt returner. He was second-team All-Pro in 2022 and 2024. He averaged 11.3 yards per punt return with three touchdowns over his five seasons with the Lions. The Bears haven't had an All-Pro punt returner since. Jakson Grant in 2021.

Now, Raymond has followed his old coordinator to Chicago.

"He's still one of the elite punt returners in this game," Johnson said. "And he's going to make a difference on our offense as well.

He's got elite speed. He can do things after the catch. I just think he's a great role model for all those guys."

Our example: Raymond catches 205 passes off the JUGE machine every day after practice. Why 2017? Of course, there's a reason.

Lions All-Pro receiver, Amen-Ra St. Brown catches 202 balls off the JUGE machine daily on Raymond is trying to do a little more than his former teammate.

"I've never seen him miss," Raymond said of St. Brown.

Raymond had plenty of role models when he was a rookie with the Denver Broncos in 2016. He mentioned Domestian Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Jordan Norwood and Bennie Fowler as veterans who showed him the ropes back then. He later learned from Odell Beckham Jr. when he was with the New York Giants for separate starts in 2017 and 2018.

"I learned that this game is very, very, very hard," Raymond said. "So, why not give back?"

Thomas and the rest of the young Bears receivers will keep soaking up everything they can.

ball. Quarterback Caleb Williams detected a touchdown drive in an end-of-game period to wrap things up, firing a dart to Luther Burden III in the back of the end zone for a score.

Multiple defensive players stood out at different points. Defensive end Austin Booker had a tackle for a loss in the backfield, and rookie tackle Jordan van den Berg shined in multiple drills. Cornerback

Tyrique Stevenson intercepted a pass intended for Rome Odunze after the wide receiver slipped.

The Bears are off Friday and will return to the practice field at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.

RALLY

from Piaget C1

"The Chicago Sky are committed to providing a welcoming space for all, and we remain focused on it as

ball and offering fans a great experience at the United Center," the team said in a statement. "As always, we expect that everyone will continue to follow all standard annuals, security, media and fan-code of conduct policies and protocols."

This is the fourth such rally held before a Fever game in an opposing market.

The WNBA has not issued league-wide guidelines for expected team or player conduct regarding these rallies, which leaves the deci-

sion-making to individual teams. Seattle Storm minority co-owner Celeste Kraton was previously fined and suspended for five games after conferencing an XX-XX' supporter who sat outriddle during a game between the Storm and Fever.

This is the Sky's second game at the United Center this season — they lost to the Las Vegas Aces 107:49 on July 26 — and the third in franchise history. The United Center also hosted the WNBA All-Star Game in July.

WHITE SOX

Catching caroused continues

Newcomer Bart heads to IL, Quero returns

By LaRéted Paper CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Injuries behind the plane have affected the Chicago White Sox on or again.

Browning acquired can be Joey Bart went on the 30-day interval in Friday with a fifth metacard and the turn in late 6th hand. He will now score that a breath interval manager Chris Gatz said.

With Bart out, the Sox recalled Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte's private catching depth.

Those were two of the four centre moves the team announced before the series appear against the Cleveland Guard June of the 1st of 1976. Sox also placed left-hander Chris Murphy on the 15-day IL with a left front strain and recalled right-hander David Sandfield on the 6th.

Bart suffered the injury when he was hit by pitch in the seventh inning of Thursday's 11-11 loss to the Boston Red Sox in 13 innings at Pomey Park in Boston.

"Really disappointing," Sox manager Will Venable said. "Obviously, really excited to have him, and you acquire your flat-five, which was really special, exciting. For that it happens is really disappointing. And also feel for him. He's so excited to be here and certainly excited to be in the middle of a race and meaningful games down the street, I had had a really good, positive foot impression here with him. Try and get him back out there and

see what we can do."

Thursday marked Bart's third game with the team after being acquired from the Atlanta Borrow on Monday. "We're going to miss Joey," Gatz said. "Tough break for him, no pun intended. Just to get here, getting combats able to a White Sox uniform, pitching staff, everything that goes into being a catcher. And now to lose him is certainly a lot.

"But we've got to move on and find solutions. We've got Edgar Quero back here today, and we hope that he can stop up. And we'll continue to work through that position."

Gatz called the catching spot a "fairly fluid position" for the team throughout the season. Injuries have been a big spot, with Kyle Tost limited to 39 games because of a variety of softbacks. He's currently on the injured list with a left ankle sprain.

"It's been challenging," Gatz said, "going back to spring training in the WBC, losing Kyle to a right hamstring strain. But other guys have stopped up and will need to continue to stop up. There's different ways to bring value to that position, whether that be on the receiving end, throwing end,

calling games. The hat gets a lot of attention. Truthfully, that's often secondary to what we are talking about, and get on that position or what we need right now.

"It's been an area that has been fluid. It will probably continue to be fluid. Hopefully Kyle and Joey can be back helping this club at some point."

Quero returns after being just spinned to Charlotte on Tuesday for a clash-up, 194, 1,247, 218 with one double, two home runs in RBIs, 13 walks and 12 runs in 41 games with the Sox this season.

"Everybody knows it's been a tough year for me at the beginning," Quero said. "The last time I went to Dallas, I felt I can't make injury on July 20. I was having pretty good. I'm hoping pretty good right now, we and I'm ready to go. I'm having good hits, swinging at strikes, hitting the ball well, hitting the ball hard."

This is his third start with the team this season.

"It's tough, but you have to be an unquestionably," Quero said. "You have to trust in Galt, first and trust in your ability, go out there and compete."

Quero started Friday. He had four the Sox still deplete Quero and David Bones. Venable said, "Just kind of quitting time, taking it day by day here. I think that's the right thing to do. We're not going to fire these guys or necessarily with our pitchers and use that as an input to me, who plays. Look at such bugs, look at workloads."

This is also Sandfield's third after this season with the Sox, 10-14-14 with a 4-10 ERA in four appearances (three starts).

"We are going to need a lot of different arms to help us navigate these innings throughout the season," Gatz said. "We brought up Sandlin. A lengthy game last night that I stood the ball, and I was comforting to know that we have a fairly loaded Sandlin.

"What the rotation and ballpen, what's that going to be, are some dependent, it's certainly an unknown other than the fact we are going to have to grab arms from Triple-A and get creative throughout this."

RED SOX 13, WHITE SOX 11 LATE THURSDAY

Sox swept out of Boston with marathon loss

BOSTON - The Chicago White Sox were one of the away from salvaging the finale of third three game series against the Boston Red Sox.

But the three drivers left single with two outs in the ninth forced extra innings, and the game went on and on.

It was decided in the 14th inning on a Caleb Durbin walk-off BBI single, which gave the Red Sox a 12-11 victory Thursday in front of a million total of 25582 at Pomey Park.

"Good health there," White Sox manager Will Venable said. "Some things that we can control that you wish you had had there. But getting in the Red Sox, it will not yoke."

"It's just the hardest team to hurt right now. We've seen it firsthand now, obviously the second against down, speak the stuff. Just couldn't find a way to hurt them."

The White Sox were swept in the three game series and lost all six in the season, never the first time in franchise history. The worst winless in the season series against the Red Sox.

Thursday was the toughest defeat of this year's

matchup. Chase McGrath list two two-run home runs in the loss.

"That's a playoff atmosphere, but it sucks that we didn't get the job done," McGrath said.

The red-hot-Red Sox won their eighth straight and 1984 with a last impression to 26-9 in their last 36 games.

The White Sox received more hailbores when catcher, but Bart, acquired Monday at the trade deadline, ruined with a fifth metacarpal feature in his left hand after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning.

"We'll continue to check it out, but it's a fracture," Venable said. "Obviously, it'll be an IL (joint), and we'll figure out what we're going to do, see what the timeline is with him as we continue to evaluate."

Despite the loss, the White Sox (59-35) remained three games ahead of the second place. Cleveland Guardians (37-59) in the American League Central. The Minnesota Twins (55-59) also settled for second. The Sox began a three-game series with the Guardians on Friday at Rare Field.

Early Thursday it looked as if they would be going into that series with some momentum.

The White Sox jumped ahead with four runs in the third inning. McGrath, banserad, giving the White Sox their first lead against the Red Sox all season. Colson Montgomery down in a run on a single. A second run scored on the play on a three-way point.

The Red Sox cut the lead in half with Connor Woag's two-run home run in the bottom of the third.

Sam Antonacci, who received a smattering of boastinings on to a short inning grounder Wednesday that sparked an online debate as to whether he left alone got a little less close to Willison Contreras while running to first base, got a run back in the fourth with a pitch for BBI double to right field. Brenton Doyle scored on the hit, giving the Sox a 5-3 lead.

But the Red Sox came right back with three runs in the bottom of the fourth to be the score.

Scarter Luis Castillo allowed the runs on six hits with five strikeouts and one with six four innings in his White Sox defeat and being acquired from the Seattle Mariners.

"I just tip my cap to the hitters, they did their job and you have to recognize that

too," Castillo said through an interpreter.

The White Sox regained the lead in the fifth. With runners on the current and two outs, Braden Montgomery hit a high-freeper lead to the second. Justin Hume there stalked in the end two runs scored on the play, giving the White Sox a 5-3 lead.

The Red Sox got within a run on a Maverick Peebulls BBI double. He advanced to third on a wild pitch for a second of which McGrath caught a Jarrett Dunn line with an exit win for off the quarter. The White Sox, a 5-3, was Antonacci tracked down, Anthony Seigler's fly ball to left.

White Sox relieved Grant Taylor, who got the final out of the sixth, worked out of a line in the seventh in the final out. Durbin to leave runners on the current. Taylor allowed one hit in two score, so one innings.

In the eighth, Dunn was thrown out trying to advance to third on a ball in the 2nd round the inning.

The Red Sox tied it on a second two-out single in the ninth.

McGrath hit his return two-run blast of the game in the fifth, the time off Arolda Chapman.

"He got ahead of me only," McGrath said. "I was trying to see it deep. I got a good pitch to hit. He's a ball of an 10th and when you get a good pitch off a guy like that you have to pay it forward."

The Red Sox scored twice in the bottom of the inning, and the team scored once in the 10th and 13th innings and missed some late opposition.

Sox to add on The Red Sox were limited to one run in the bottom of the 10th despite heading the bases with one out. And Braden Montgomery was thrown out at the play in the 12th.

The White Sox failed to score in the top of the 13th. Durbin came through for the Red Sox with the one-out game-winning hit, ending the 4-hour, 13-minute contest.

"It's a tough series, no doubt about," Venable said. "Especially with a chance to win tonight and really end things on a good score here on a tough road trip against some really good teams (in Tampa Bay and Boston)."

"There's a bunch of stuff like, obviously, we've got to do a better job of. Go to the drawing, hand, do whatever we can to continue to get better and really move on from this one."

CUBS

from stage C1

Baltimore at the beginning of his career. Ettore referred to Gassman at their 'white whale' target after leading him in a deal similar night. Gassman was looking forward to having the Cubs' slim defense behind him when he takes the mound at Scarthorn Stadium.

Gassman was just always you to be on the attack mode," Gassman said. "In every situation, you feel like no matter what's going to happen, that outcome is usually going to be on your side."

Danny Swanson placed with Gassman in Atlanta during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. He always has been impressed by how the game never seems to speed up on Gassman.

"There's always things he can fall back to and always consistently commit to, and obviously, it's a little bit of a unique delivery," Swanson said. "It's got plate extension. It's got carry and just have he pinches, then obviously with the split - he just puts you in a blue, sometimes that makes you have to pick one or the other, half of you don't get what you're necessarily looking for if you're really going to."

"One of the things I love about Gass is he obviously got drabled high, but some lounges along the road, keep started with a few points. It became a really, really good game, just punches and has had a lot of success in this league," Swanson added. "Gass just battled through. She, almost only has something that I'm second, and I enjoy having guys that battle through, something to end up as he's going to high level."

The Gassman's first hand a pitcher got into the eighth inning this season. Ideally, the additional Gassman and Cia Gassman were a pincard in to start Saturday in Gams 2 of the series, when stress off a bullpen that at times has had to carry a heavy load, particularly when snubbing the injuries that have turned the group.

Only four days after he learned of the team while in the Blue Joys flight to the 2nd, and having eight, Gassman reunited with the former teammates Thursday at Wrigley Field.

And the women not been traded, he would have faced the Cubs on Thursday, what he had called a revenge game he circled after his year in the tagged ham back in June in some train in two innings.

Instead, Gassman took the ball Friday with a chance to keep the Cubs strong enough rolling.

"I've been on a team before where at the deadline it felt like if they could bring in some pieces and they didn't, and so obviously I'm new to this team, but being a part of a team when they can bring guys to, you can't have to go to, going for it," Gassman said. "It's almost like a shot of adrenalsis and can kind of be quite sure I'll miss you. I'm not going to be on the line then much it, to be honest, but I'm still excited to be here."

New Cubs pitcher Kevin Gausman takes out from the object, having a game against the Dodgers on Tuesday at Wrigley Field. TIMES TIMESA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

UNWANTED BOOKS OR KING LEADS PANTHERS

Maybe a team should be drafted Haynes King. The rookie quarterback ran in from the 3 on the final play to give the Panthers a 33-30 victory over the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame game that kicked off the NFL preseason on Thursday night. King, who was the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year last

season at Georgia Tech, was 21 of 34 for 100 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 39 yards and the winning score: "Well, that was a lot of fun. Just the back and forth of it. Just a really good game," Panthers coach Dave Candice said. "The game more resistant and firm to what we preach as a team. We practice for those situations, end of half, end of game... Haynes did a fantastic job, just keeping the play alive, doing whatever he had to do, run it, throw it. Really proud of the group," Caruso feels also had an impression: defeat for Arizona. After Rock left, Kudon Howe tossed a 3-yard TD pass to Bryson Green with just under two minutes remaining to give the Cardinals a 30-27 lead. But King rallied the Panthers on caught when both teams didn't give their starters. Bryce Young was King's biggest cheerleader on the sideline.

NORWAY SOCCER WANTS INFANTING TO DESIGN

Norway's soccer federation wants Gianni Infantino to step down immediately piling more pressure on FIFA's embattled president Friday. Infantino is facing a revolt after his failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. The Norwegian federation held a meeting on Thursday and president Lise Klærmen said the decision has

been made to ask Infantino to resign. "When trust is gone, leadership must also be assessed. We therefore believe that Gianni Infantino's time as FIFA President should be over and old him to resign," Klærmen said via Incubators. The announcement is the latest blow for Infantino as the full out continues over his controversial plan to sell profits in the World Cup through a commercial subsidiary called the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE). European soccer's governing back FIFA said Thursday to threat to be over the World Cup and other international sportsmen remained in place despite FIFA abandoning and apologizing for its failed plan. It returned to where the e-bad last confidence in Infantino. Earlier this week Infantino appeared to have held off the potential of an internal revolt during a summit meeting with top staff in Kshut, Morocco.

GUN CHARGE AGAINST HARDEN DISMISSED

Scandinavian gun charge against All Star Candlers guard James Harders to Texas has been dismissed after his completed an alternative resolution program allowing him to avoid a criminal record, court records from Harris County Criminal Court Judge Alex Salgado in Houston. Released for criminal charge Thursday of the request of

the Harris County district attorney's office following Harders completion of an alternative resolution program. Such programs allow defendants to avoid a criminal correction by doing community service. Court documents don't detail the terms of Harders's agreement. Harders was arrested June 23 in Houston after police found that he had a handgun in his vehicle. To enclose material a misdemeanor to have a gun "in plain view" in a vehicle without a license, punishable by up to a year in jail and, then of age in 84,000, Veritas has asked a attorney's office and he was not aware of the law, but immediately responded to email and phone messages Friday making comment. The Gun did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Harders, 36, finished his 17th NRA season in May when the Knicks sweep the Cav in the Eastern Conference finals. —Associated Press

Who's he boss?

Head coaches in new places reshape NFL sidelines

By Teresa M. Walker ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Texas. — Robert Saleh sees being in the NFL as a blessing no matter if it's the first, second or even third time around with yet another team.

"We're the heckiest people in the world," Saleh said.

His second chance as an NFL head coach came in Tennessee with the Titans, and he has lots of company as a new head coach with a new franchise. The NFL was the second with 10 head coaches hired by new teams this afternoon, matching the previous high last reached in 2022.

John Harbaugh had his choice of jobs for his second NFL team, and Kevin Borland, supply of workers from the Browns to Falcons. Mike McCarthy, back home in Pittsburgh, has joined a lot of men to coach three franchises.

The other six all are in their first go round as NFL head coaches the Bills for Beats, the Cardinals' NBA LeRoy, the Brewer, Texas Minter, the Browns' Todd Madden, the Brigham Jeff Hafley and the Raiders' Kidd Kidd.

For coaches like Saleh, a new team effective chance to his own that didn't work before. Saleh said he's made "significant changes" from his first training camp with the Jets in 2021. He went 20-16 before the 16th final him after a 2.4 start in 2024.

"Just a completely different coach from my first year as a head coach to now," Saleh said when his Titans reported for training camp.

A new coach also offers the players new hope. The Titans needed Saleh after firing those California six games into his second season, and left tackle Dan Moore said the Titans can tell there's been a coaching change walking into the building for work.

"If they go deserved, both organized, just look like winning culture," Moore said of a franchise retired in a stretch of four straight losing seasons.

NO TIME WASTED

GOING BACK TO WORK

Two of the new coaches quickly switched teams, with Harbaugh doing from the Browns after 10 seasons to the Giants. Borland's worst 45-46 in Cleveland and was out of work less than two weeks when the Falcons fared him.

Harbaugh didn't want a break like McCarthy took during the 2023 season after his contract ended in Dallas. Harbaugh said he couldn't wait to get back to work as he followed some惊艳 win from an NFL coach who went from Philadelphia to Kansas City in 2023.

"Both Buffalo men of five words, and his four words to one were: Change can be good. That's what he said. Change can be good. He was excited. He's from the first to: He's a good friend." Harbaugh said when taking the Giants' job: "We'll sign up for that deal right now, what he did in Kansas City. Let's do that."

MORE FAMILY TIES

AMONG NFL COACHING RANKS

The Harbaughs now have competition with another pair of brothers coaching both left, with the LeRoy.

The Cardinals' team to tap into Mike LeRoy's success reusing the Kens' offense as coordinator the past three seasons. The Cardinals also hope he can bring the type of success that his older brother Matt, has had others for with six playoffs to be in seven seasons.

The Raiders happily waited for the offensive coordinator of the Super Bowl champion Seahawks. Hiring Kabuki meant the addition of another son of a former NFL coach. Kabuki's father, Gary, spun 10 years as a head coach, with eight in Houston and two in Denver.

ADDITIONS TO THE NFL'S

30-SOMETHING CROWD

after being hired by the Cardinals, and Kabuki also turned 39 after getting his first NFL head coaching gig.

LATEST NFL COACH TO RUN A THIRD DIFFERENT FRANCHISE

McCarthy easily could've stayed off the sideline after going 10-15 to across 18 seasons (playoffs included) with the Packers and Cowboys. His second in Dallas ended after ninety-six-named 7-10 finish in 2024 led to a parting of score.

He took off the 2023 season to spend time with his family. Then his front-time team had to hit a coaching vacancy in 19 seasons with Mike Troelts stopping down. With McCarthy taking over the Sniders, he joins a bit of turn who coached them different NFL teams including Ed Gorman, Mike Branham, Lovie Smith and Wade Phillips.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Sanders takes

Buffs south for bonding time

By Jorita Staghton | ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOOTBALL Cols. — Dover "Coach Prime" Sanders loves everything about taking his Colorado Buffaloes 112 miles south of Folsom Field in Houston. Over Carson High, the earlier a week of working in the 112 miles south of the East, that featured a stay at the University of Colorado. Colorado Springs campus and a visit to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

One thing would make it even better: continuing with or against the Folsom, something Sanders is buying the NCAA, will soon allow teams to do in the offseason as he first suggested a couple of years ago when first one wanted to visit Roulkes for a spring activity.

"That's something I've been suggesting for quite some time," Sanders said after Thursday's practice. "And the NCAA felt compelled to allow FC's schools to do what we thought of quite some time ago. So, we're not involved. They aren't allow that. But even if we could just pick up, it's the same location would do it justice. We don't have to compete against one another."

"But I wish one day we could have a spring game against one another. It would be wonderful for the state. It would be wonderful for the cities of our citizens and away. It would be a great look, I think for college football and Colorado football. I would love that."

This is the first time in Sanders' four seasons with the Buffaloes that he took his team out of town on an NFL, only training camp trip away from the distractions and responsibilities in Roulkes.

"We wanted to get somewhere away that was significant, not around the corner like 30 minutes, 40 minutes," Sanders said. "We wanted to get away so they couldn't have really the contacts or urge to drive back home — even though we're onboard, they've not doing that — no limitations or anything like that, no outside foot coming in. They're doing a great job of leading us."

"They're off the phone. We monitor that and they're really getting to leave each other and really getting a book I do. I eat at a table with a group of guys every day and they they were telling me stories about some of them were sleep-walking and walking out of the room and one of the coaches fell out of bed. I share's been some wonderful stories that have transpired."

Sanders even has his story to tell, about "coming face to face with a date" and quickly turning around on his morning walk.

"So, we love it," Sanders said. "We're bonding. We're getting closer. We're getting to leave each other. I sit more because we are one unit night and day. It's been phenomenal."

Sanders continued about some of his NFL training camp days, although, being a two-sport star, he issued some of them altogether.

"Well, I was thankful not to go through many because of the game called football," Sanders said. "He's so hopeful man, and we had a good time. It was best, extremely hot with the Cowboys in Texas. But it was a brand that you can't replace by anything because you're just there thinking. Football, football, football. You're making up together, you're going to sleep at the same locations. It's a beautiful thing. It really is a beautiful thing and I'm glad we're able to come here and do it."

The Buffaloes are coming off a trying 3-9 season that began with Sanders undergoing surgery to remove his cancerous bladder. He's now cancer-free, but his energy back and is leading stuff that features new offenses (Brennan, Marceo, and defensive (Chris Marce) coordinators.

"This is not to demand any of the former coaches, but this is the best stuff I've had ever in my coaching career, from youths that all the way," Sanders said. "Those guys are good, fundamentally sound, creative, insensitive. They're not to makes. They're head coaches who are coaching the offense and defense."

"The young man are responding to those. Even special teams, we're doing that in a collaborative effort. We're united on that. It's been great. I love the energy that those coaches are providing and a new group of kids helps out tremendously."

The Buffs feature 40 players who transferred into the program this season.

Sneker Smith also headed the fork pressure to bounce back in 2026. "A party pressure I don't feel pressure," the said pressure is being a single team trying to make ends meet. "This is football. I'm really good at this. I can play this. I can coach this. I can do this."
