民主党领导人对邮寄投票裁决感到不安
德宾称特朗普命令是对投票权的“逐步削弱”
作者：里克·皮尔森 《芝加哥论坛报》
周二，伊利诺伊州民主党领导人在联邦最高法院允许特朗普政府推进可能严重限制邮寄投票的计划后，表达了忧虑，并发出警告称这可能为11月3日大选制造混乱。
距离伊利诺伊州邮寄投票首日（9月24日）不到一个月，民主党州长JB·普里茨克称该裁决“令人深感不安”，而美国参议员迪克·德宾则表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统的行政令是总统“逐步削弱”这一基本投票权的又一次企图。
争议焦点在于最高法院周一的裁决，该裁决至少暂时撤销了下级法院对特朗普今年初颁布的行政令的暂缓执行。
该行政令指示国土安全部编制各州成年美国公民名单，并要求各州向美国邮政署提供其计划邮寄选票的选民名单。它还禁止邮政署向未被列入该机构“登记”选民名单的人邮寄选票。另一项条款要求美国司法部长“优先”调查并起诉向不符合资格选民发放选票的州和地方官员。
另一项联邦法院裁决（最高法院未就此表态）仍禁止邮政署执行行政令的相关部分。但特朗普政府周一晚些时候提交动议，请求撤销第二项暂缓令

Coal ash by Vermilion River raises alarms
Many worry about heavy rains and delays in erosion report
By Christiana Freitag FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
For more than 70 years, Mike Camp has never lived more than 2 miles from the Vermilion River.
Growing up on his family's dairy and crop farms in Vermilion County in east-central Illinois, Camp spent his childhood and adult life swimming, fishing and canoeing along the meandering bends of the river's Middle Fork.
“We’ve floated the river our whole lives,” Camp said.
He and his wife, Kristin, currently live less than a mile and a half from the river in Collison. They have spent more than a decade fighting to protect it from over 3 million cubic yards of toxic coal ash stored on the Middle Fork's floodplain, a particularly vulnerable location along Illinois' only national scenic river.
A few miles downstream, a coal-fired power plant operated for more than 50 years before being retired in 2011. Camp said he first became concerned when he was canoeing and saw ash deposits seeping into the river, leaving rainbow-colored sheens along the bank.
Vistra Corp. acquired Dynegy Midwest Generation, the owner of the retired plant, in 2018. Dynegy submitted a plan to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to permanently close the coal ash ponds more than four years ago.
That plan has yet to be approved. In the meantime, residents and environmentalists are worried about the company's response as severe storms increase erosion and the threat of the river overflowing into the coal ash ponds.

“我们如何回到‘正常’？”
芝加哥人哀悼 帕顿之逝
10岁的埃利奥特·麦奎德（Eliot McQuaide）于周二在芝加哥埃奇沃特社区的一面多莉·帕顿壁画前献花。摄影：阿曼多·L·桑切斯 / 《芝加哥论坛报》
撰文：特斯·肯尼 《芝加哥论坛报》
柯蒂斯·金伯林（Curtis Kimberlin）周二上午像往常一样，在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校担任学业顾问。到了下午中段，这位31岁的男子已站在芝加哥北区，凝视着多莉·帕顿的微笑，思忖着如何回到他那朝九晚五的生活。
当帕顿于周二去世的消息传开后，这位深受喜爱的乡村音乐歌手的悼念活动从四面八方涌来，芝加哥也不例外。在帕顿家人于社交媒体宣布其去世后的几小时内，芝加哥人纷纷涌向埃奇沃特的莱特尔楼（Lytle House），那里有一面面朝街道的帕顿壁画。这幅肖像从地板延伸至天花板，帕顿那一头金发——理所应当地——占据了大半面墙。
人们接连不断地来到壁画前。随着下午转入傍晚，一小堆鲜花在画作边缘堆积起来。在车水马龙的背景声中，帕顿的唱片集在循环播放，歌曲从莱特尔楼内飘洒到街头。
金伯林只有一小段空闲时间去看帕顿。他带了一束花。周二下午，金伯林望着壁画，问道：“我们如何回到‘正常’？”
金伯林是在帕顿的音乐中长大的。他的母亲确保乡村音乐——尤其是多莉——成为他成长的标志。他回忆起一段美好的往事：作为大学生，他和母亲驱车前往俄克拉何马州观看帕顿的演唱会。
他从未想象过有一天会失去这位偶像。他无法接受这个事实：他和全世界再也见不到她了。
据帕顿的公关人员在美联社报道中称，帕顿于周二在田纳西州纳什维尔平静离世。享年80岁。死因未披露。
帕顿是音乐界乃至整个社会最受爱戴的人物之一——这位明星跨越世代、地域与政治的罕见魅力，源于她那感人至深的歌曲创作与闪耀夺目的舞台服装。她从田纳西山区的一间小木屋起步，成长为乡村音乐的王后。她的职业生涯创作了数百首歌曲，同时她的慈善事业与商业成就也同样耀眼。
对金伯林而言，帕顿的所作所为——以及她所代表的一切——最令他动容。尽管她严格避免公开表达个人政治立场，但她通过所支持的事业与行动表达信念。帕顿创办了一家教育非营利组织，为田纳西州儿童免费寄送图书；2020年她捐款助力新冠疫苗研发；她还利用自身影响力倡导LGBTQ+权利。
“我刚刚还跟我男朋友说，”金伯林告诉《论坛报》，“现在我们必须像多莉那样生活。”
露西·麦克尼科尔斯（Lucy McNichols）和迈尔斯·布兰登斯坦（Miles Brandenstein）站在莱特尔楼外相拥而立。他们表示，名人死亡通常不会如此触动他们，但帕顿的离世却截然不同。意义非凡。
“我觉得当有人为大众做了那么多贡献，表达感谢与欣赏真的非常重要，”麦克尼科尔斯说，“我只是想与他人分享这种感受。”
他们交谈时，麦克尼科尔斯擦去几滴泪水。在他们身后，人们继续献上鲜花。
“她一直是这个世界的一股强大善力，”麦克尼科尔斯说，“在众多只会‘说’（talk the talk）的名人中，她总是真正‘做’（walk the walk）的人。”
“再也不会有像她那样的人了，”布兰登斯坦补充道，“像她那样的人。”
对安德森维尔居民安娜·查普曼（Anna Chapman）来说，帕顿就是“女性的化身”。她在前往莱特尔楼壁画朝圣时如是说。
在湖景长大的查普曼和她的家人都喜欢乡村老歌——威利·纳尔逊、洛雷塔·林恩，当然还有帕顿。尽管查普曼的血统是拉丁音乐，来自墨西哥和古巴背景，帕顿也同样是她的根基。
“我们热爱这种音乐，”查普曼说，“我们热爱她。”
当查普曼在壁画前驻足时，一辆车从百老汇大道经过，车窗摇下。帕顿的声音从里面轰鸣而出：“乔琳，乔琳，乔琳，乔琳。”
查普曼说她计划回家后听帕顿的歌。她还说，她还想静静地思念她。
“今天越多人想念她，”查普曼说，“她就会感受到。”
回到利特尔宅邸，与妻子共同经营该场地的米歇尔·利特尔承诺音乐会继续。当她听闻帕顿去世的消息时，她知道人们会来到他们那幅帕顿壁画前，这幅画在过去九年里一直装饰着他们的活动空间。当粉丝们来看帕顿时，利特尔希望他们也能听到她的声音。
“多莉，”利特尔说，“她就是那种你会觉得永远不会离去的人。”
扩音器里，帕顿的声音继续回荡：“哦，上帝保佑她，主啊，”她唱道，“她飞翔时如雄鹰一般。”

多莉·帕顿，1975年，纽约。 杰克·曼宁 / 《纽约时报》
正如她曾挑战伯特·雷诺兹和其他性别歧视的电影业一样。
我现在在山上拥有一间小屋，多年来，许多朋友都取笑我对狄乐世界和多莉·帕顿的痴迷，后者的粉丝群与前伊利诺伊州州长帕特·奎因不谋而合。我曾与州长和帕顿同处一室（那是她的百老汇音乐剧《9到5：音乐剧》在芝加哥上演时），他的脸上绽放出我从未见过、也再难见到的灿烂笑容。我希望他今天一切安好。
每个人都爱多莉·帕顿。这话听起来像是陈词滥调，但试想一下，娱乐圈里有多少人能真正做到这一点。美国人，如果你还没注意到的话，已经分成了两派。
然而帕顿巧妙地置身于所有文化战争之外，直到生命最后一刻仍在宣扬爱、慈善、指导与宽容。狄乐世界位于一个镇上，那里甚至有特朗普商店（我上次查看时实际上有两家），但LGBTQ+群体仍被狄乐世界接纳，成为帕顿忠实粉丝的一部分。
从未有人希望她选边站队，因此她也很少被问到不愿回答的问题。
诚然，我相信无论这个国家如何分裂，许多人都明白：多莉·帕顿必须被留在原地，这样我们至少可以说，有一个美国人属于所有人。
即使是共和国也需要自己的王后，而她就是。
唉，显然没有明显的继承人。
还有谁能代表快乐、识字（她为学校图书馆捐赠的书籍比任何人都多）、音乐，尤其是家庭？
多莉·帕顿在19, 2011年1月19日芝加哥美国银行剧院举办的《9到5：音乐剧》开幕式上被时任州长帕特·奎因亲吻。克里斯·斯韦达 / 《芝加哥论坛报》
我将这种复杂性部分归因于她出生在美国一个比人们想象中更复杂的地区。塞维尔县支持联邦政府而非邦联，尽管田纳西州加入了邦联。当地许多人祖籍英格兰北部、苏格兰和爱尔兰，在贫困的乡村生活中顽强独立，当然也被大山隔绝。他们比南方人更感受到阿巴拉契亚的归属感，帕顿本人正是如此。
我开始带孩子们去帕顿钟爱的家乡时，他们还很小，对华特迪士尼世界的高昂费用和商业化感到反感，却又热爱过山车和游乐园。我也认为让两个生活在芝加哥市的男孩了解另一个美国并非坏事。于是，道乐园成了我们的迪士尼乐园——从田纳西龙卷风到飞鹰号，再到神秘矿山那只在大落差前死去的鹦鹉。
早些年，尤其是刚开始去的时候，感觉园内工作的每个人都是帕顿的亲戚，特别是演奏蓝草音乐的那些人：帕顿的侄女、表亲、叔叔。总共有12个孩子。亲戚还真不少。我后来在附近买了小屋，常带成年朋友去那里。他们总说那地方超出预期，建在山里的感觉很有魅力。
不过我在道乐园从没见过帕顿本人；我见到她是在纽约或芝加哥，当时正在写关于她演出的报道。你会惊讶地发现，她待人热情、可爱、自嘲又风趣。她身边的人基本上整天都在笑。这位以“虚假”外表闻名的女人（姑且这么说），整容和各种增强手术不计其数，实际上却是你能遇到的最真诚的人之一。
即使拥有如此多的金钱和名望，她依然保持本色，丝毫未变。她如此自嘲，以至于任何可能的讽刺家都会被她的魅力所折服。
如今，我的成年子女更喜欢去山里徒步，而我每年圣诞节还得拽着他们去听道乐园假日庆典上演的《温柔的田纳西圣诞》，那已成为我的临时教堂。
唉，帕顿终归也是凡人。而就在周二，外界发现她近来的身体状况比大家想象的更糟。
作为一个见过无数娱乐业兴衰的人，我常在道乐园四处走动，想象帕顿去世后他们会怎么办。我毫不怀疑他们已有应急计划，现在正在实施。但她在周二的离世仍会让人感到意外的震惊。
我常想，帕顿去世后，园区会在短期内迎来人气激增，而这必然会成为现实。更棘手的时刻将在多年后到来，当岁月流逝、她的记忆开始淡去，正如我们所有人最终都会被遗忘。
但我认为，大多数读到这篇文章的人都会在它成为生存问题之前离世。王后的统治力在我们离开后仍会延续很久。

约翰逊公布填补2026年预算缺口的方案

市长将通过债务重组填补大部分缺口
撰文：A.D.奎格、爱丽丝·尹 《芝加哥论坛报》
芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊周二宣布了一系列短期解决方案，包括债务重组，以填补今年的预算缺口。
在市政厅向记者发表讲话时，约翰逊表示，他将通过重新融资5亿至5.25亿美元债券来填补2026年预算中预计的8510万美元缺口。他表示，此举将使他能够避免今年裁减市政工作人员，且不会增加该市的债务总额。
约翰逊估计，重新融资将节省6500万至7100万美元。他告诉记者，剩余缺口可通过剩余的联邦新冠疫情财政救济资金（用于行政和拨款管理成本）来填补，“如有必要”。
该市仍有近1860万美元联邦资金被专门用于项目。约翰逊表示，动用其中部分资金不会危及由《美国救援计划法案》资助的任何正在进行的项目。
市长表示，这两种填补缺口的方案均无需市议会批准。
市长未透露填补2027年仍未披露的缺口的解决方案，该缺口预计至少为6.8亿美元。但他指出，他今年预算中支持的几项进步性税收收入表现超出预期——包括在线体育博彩税、社交媒体广告费和个人财产租赁税。
他还对议会反对派进行了又一番猛烈抨击，这是他即将展开第四次预算之争的最新信号——这一斗争恰逢选举之际，他誓言要全力以赴。
当被问及双方如何才能缓解紧张局势时，约翰逊回应称：“让他们同意我的意见。”随后他描述了最近与一户家庭的对话，该家庭在交完房租后难以供养两个女儿。
约翰逊说：“议会反对派试图让这个工薪家庭承担更重的负担，如果你要我就此偃旗息鼓、放弃为这些家庭而战，那不是我这个人。”
债务重组并将其所有节省资金一次性计入，是前任市长们用于填补大大小小缺口的常见权宜之计。同样，使用一次性联邦疫情救济资金也是如此。该市已动用了近18.9亿美元《美国救援计划法案》拨款中的14.1亿美元用于日常运营。2026年的债务重组也使得2027年预算平衡的选项更少。
约翰逊强调，他理解最新方案只是临时权宜之计，表示该市不能再依赖“沙发垫下的零钱”。他对2027年预算提案中将提出哪些新税收保持沉默，但暗示几乎可以保证会提出新的进步性税收创意。
截至5月，该市政府的年中预算报告显示，该市在主要用于日常运营的主基金收入方面约低于预算1.5%（即3200万美元）。约翰逊政府随后宣布，今年年底前预计将出现9000万美元赤字，可能需要通过裁员来填补。
这一赤字已成为市长反复抨击议会反对派的主要话柄，后者不顾其反对通过了2026年支出计划。
根据市长办公室周二分享的数据，反对派预算小组的各项拟议税收收入与预测相比短缺1.47亿美元。支出削减4700万美元以及其他税收的略微超额表现使总预期缺口达到8510万美元，据市长办公室称。
市政收入缺口的最大部分来自反对派阵营备受争议的$89债务出售措施，据约翰逊办公室称，该措施至今未能吸引到任何买家。此外，市内桥梁和路灯杆广告销售收入$29、市属房产增强现实游戏及视频游戏终端许可收入$6均未实现或接近预期。修订后的酒类税和购物袋税提高方案预计也将表现不及预期，市长办公室称。
在周二通过西北远郊区议员萨姆·纽金特办公室发布的一份声明中，市议会反对派阵营指责约翰逊未能正确执行2026年预算。
“约翰逊市长及其政府未能依法执行预算，”联盟声明称，“相反，他将重点放在指责他人以掩盖自身失职，如今更是动用会计伎俩——实际上这些伎俩不仅无法弥合结构性赤字，反而会令本届政府对纳税人造成更多有害的财政惯例。”
最终$16.6的预算方案中包含了将长期未收回的市府欠款以极低价格出售的计划，约翰逊在市议员否决其企业人头税提案后，斥责该方案为“不道德的解决方案”。
他最终未对最终预算行使否决权。自此之后，反对派指控其政府蓄意阻挠车辆债务出售以获取政治利益。反对派阵营还敦促市长兑现其必须向市府缴纳额外全额养老金缴款的要求。约翰逊本月早些时候在一群城市投资者面前承诺将履行该义务。
同样在周二，市长拒绝就其对芝加哥数据中心禁建令的期望作出进一步说明，称此类法令属于市议会权限而非其职责范围。
本月早些时候，约翰逊签署行政令，指示市属各部门加强对新数据中心的审查力度，但未完全禁止此类项目。
然而，其政府同时在幕后推动限制此类项目的可能性。
芝加哥规划与发展部发言人彼得·斯特拉扎博斯科上周确认，老福特城购物中心土地的分区申请已修订，删除了一项允许数据中心使用的条款，“作为与规划部门的审查流程的一部分”。
开发商中西部房地产收购有限责任公司随后通过发言人莉兹·巴特勒表示，旧版条款“最初仅因该用途在新分区中属于允许用途而被纳入申请。该项目并不打算用于数据中心”。尽管如此，约翰逊在一份声明中称此次修订是其行政令的成果。
“为响应我签署的加强本市对数据中心开发监管的行政令，开发商在该命令发布不到一周后即从福特城购物中心项目计划中移除了此前拟建的数据中心，”市长写道，“这是对关注数据中心环境与公共健康影响的社区成员的一场胜利。我的行政令明确表示，芝加哥欢迎投资与经济增长，但绝不以牺牲社区为代价。”
下一场预算之争的前景尚不明朗。约翰逊的预算预测报告（列出赤字）应于9月30日前提交。
这将是一场在2027年市长及市议会选战激烈进行之际的预算之争。周二，约翰逊再次拒绝回答是否计划寻求连任，坚称其重点在于揭露“问题重重的市议会”。
但在其抨击富裕企业的华丽言辞背后，这位首次当选的市长在竞选期间如何捍卫其政绩的问题上显得意志坚定。
“这是你当过初中老师后培养出的能力，”约翰逊在被问及如何进行财政预测时表示，“你能应对反复无常的局面，还能同时处理多项任务，这恰好成了我作为芝加哥市长的必备技能。”

前洛雷托医院CEO在联邦检察官办公室丑闻中获缓刑协议
作者：贾森·梅斯纳 《芝加哥论坛报》
在联邦检察官办公室大陪审团丑闻的最新后果中，洛雷托医院前首席执行官周二与检方达成了一项预审缓刑协议，只要他在一年内不再犯事，针对他的共谋指控将被撤销。
乔治·米勒是迄今为止在“布罗德维尤六人”案中获得此类协议的最知名被告。该案涉及对移民抗议者的指控，由同一名检察官负责，该检察官还主导了针对洛雷托医院的广泛调查。
根据协议条款，现年75岁、居住在佛罗里达州中部的米勒必须在12个月内遵守多项规定并支付约60,000美元的赔偿金。若其遵守协议，检方将在2027年8月撤销对他的起诉。
“米勒先生，你在这里很幸运，”美国地区法官罗伯特·盖特尔曼在周二简短的电话听证会结束时表示，“我希望确保你理解本协议的条款。这里共有19项条款……你应保留一份副本，确保不违反任何条件。”
在公开提交的协议中列出的条件包括：未经法院许可不得离开佛罗里达州中部、保持有偿就业并报告与执法部门的任何接触。
作为协议的一部分，米勒同意了一套关于指控的事实陈述，该陈述将作为单独附件提交。该文件尚未公开，原因在公开法庭上未作解释。
米勒的律师瑞安·赫奇斯未能立即联系到。
2024年提交的一项起诉书指控米勒在2017年至2022年离职前担任洛雷托医院CEO期间，涉嫌利用职权将医院合同引向由医生兼医疗供应商萨米尔·苏海尔拥有和运营的医疗用品和服务公司。
米勒被指控与前首席财务官阿诺什·艾哈迈德共谋，接受苏海尔支付的支票和资金转账，以换取将合同和其他医院业务授予苏海尔的公司。检方最初指控他收受约769,000美元贿赂。
另一名被告希瑟·伯格达尔，洛雷托前高管且是艾哈迈德的密友，被指控协助实施该阴谋。
该起诉书源于洛雷托医院在COVID-19疫苗问世后不久不当分配疫苗的联邦调查。2021年，在《芝加哥街区俱乐部》和WBEZ的报道后，洛雷托承认其在芝加哥市中心特朗普大厦为员工不当接种疫苗，同时在疫苗仍然稀缺时向库克县法官提供注射。
米勒在此期间担任洛雷托CEO，在2022年风波后被停职并最终离职。
艾哈迈德还在相关调查中被指控参与一项COVID-19检测欺诈计划，该计划在2021年两个月内产生了数千万美元的政府报销，其中大部分检测从未实际进行。
但这两起案件因“布罗德维尤六人”丑闻的后续影响而严重削弱，该丑闻揭露了检察官谢丽·梅克伦堡在大陪审团面前的不当行为，包括不当“担保”政府案件的力度。
伯格达尔已在7月达成一项延期起诉协议，可能使其免受重罪定罪。检方也表示正在与苏海尔“谈判”以在庭外和解其指控。
艾哈迈德和苏海尔在指控下达时均居住在迪拜。苏海尔今年年初返回美国并对指控表示不认罪。
阿赫迈德目前被关押在塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德的一所监狱，自去年11月30日在当地被捕起一直被羁押。他的律师最近表示，他不再争议向美国引渡，可能于月底前被遣返回芝加哥面对指控。
迄今为止，对洛雷托高管涉嫌欺诈的大规模调查仅换来一项有罪答辩。
本月初，54岁的穆罕默德·西拉杰丁（Mohamed Sirajudeen）就共谋指控认罪，据称他协助阿赫迈德为2021年价值数千万美元的新冠病毒检测向医疗保险（Medicare）虚开账单，其中许多检测实际上并未进行。
阿赫迈德在该案中仍面临指控。
但另外两人在6月份的指控已被撤销，此前美国地区法官沙伦·约翰逊·科尔曼（Sharon Johnson Coleman）曾下令就美国司法部涉嫌大陪审团不当行为举行证据听证会。

Pfleger恢复在圣萨宾娜教堂职务，儿童性虐待指控调查结束
《芝加哥论坛报》 作者：艾莉森·基尔
经过一个月的调查后，迈克尔·普夫莱格神父已恢复在奥本格雷沙姆圣萨宾娜教堂的牧师职务，并被澄清所有儿童性虐待指控。
芝加哥总教区在周一晚间发布新闻稿宣布普夫莱格返回教堂，并称“并无理由相信普夫莱格神父有罪”。
7月11日，作为圣萨宾娜教堂长期牧师及知名社会正义倡导者的普夫莱格被指控在30多年前对一名未成年人实施性虐待。他被独立审查委员会从南区教堂免职，总教区儿童保护办公室随即展开调查。
周一晚间，普夫莱格在社交媒体上宣布恢复职务，他写道“谢谢上帝，也感谢所有支持我的人”。
普夫莱格于周二未接受即时采访。
据芝加哥总教区援助牧灵办公室主任Mayra Flores介绍，每个案件的调查时长各不相同。普夫莱格已离开教堂约六周。
在普夫莱格离开圣萨宾娜期间，教区居民兼教堂员工Malachi Hunter表示，部分教众在其缺席期间停止到访。普夫莱格还错过了教区年度最大活动之一——返校社区派对和资源集市。
Hunter说：“说到底，他为社区做了那么多，现在却要经历这些，真的很伤人。我们只是很庆幸最终做出了决定。”
普夫莱格的助手Cory Williams表示，到场的教众奉献减少，食品储藏室运营也受到影响，因为普夫莱格不在场无法确保每周为多达1,500人提供足够食物。
Williams说：“教堂的氛围不像平时那样了。”
这并非普夫莱格首次因性虐待指控离开教堂。2021年，他被指控在1970年代初担任珍贵血泪天主教堂唱诗班指挥期间，对两名男孩实施猥亵。数月后，第三名原告指控称，他于1979年在圣萨宾娜教堂神父卧室区域遭到普夫莱格的性骚扰。
在总教区专门小组认定“缺乏足够理由怀疑”其有罪后，普夫莱格得以恢复职务。
2022年，普夫莱格再次遭到一名男子指控，称他于1980年代末在圣萨宾娜教堂遭到其虐待。教区调查后认定指控无事实依据，普夫莱格得以恢复职务。目前尚不清楚他将于周日重返讲坛。
Hunter说：“我们很高兴他回来了。迈克尔神父将继续传播真理，并竭尽所能成为社区的中流砥柱。”
蓝线轨道修复工作势在必行，该线路于1958年开通。芝加哥交通管理局规划与创新首席官员Molly Poppe在本月接受《论坛报》采访时表示：“这条线路已有70年历史，大部分轨道及支撑基础设施至今仍在使用。”
The agency has already replaced some track on the aging line. But the rest of the planned rebuild will be a massive and time-consuming undertaking.
Design work is slated to start later this year, and that process alone could take two years. Beyond the track replacement, most stations along the line need accessibility upgrades. The CTA must reopen the abandoned Central Blue Line station in the Austin neighborhood, or construct a new station near it, pursuant to the state's transit funding and reform legislation. The drainage system along the corridor – which is plagued by flooding – needs to be replaced, too.
And then there's the billion-dollar question — how will it all get paid for?
The CTA has estimated that the total cost of the project — including the portions that have already been funded or completed — could be about 30 亿美元 billion. The CTA described the number as a preliminary estimate and said cost estimates could change as design work progresses.
"The progress has taken entirely too long to get to this area," said Oak Park Village President Vicki Scaman.
"If we're going to see our residents get out of their cars and taking the train, then that train needs to be getting them to where they need to go in less time than their car would," she said.
BEYOND ITS USEFUL LIFE
In transit parlance, the Forest Park branch track is “beyond its useful life.” In practice, that means the infrastructure is essentially too old to function well.
Old railway “ties” — the wood or composite planks that run perpendicular to the rail — can crack or rot. Aging infrastructure might lead to dips in the track. Those problems, along with a number of other issues, might lead the CTA to choose to run trains slower over a certain section of track so that the cars exert less force on the infrastructure as they rumble over it.
CTA inspectors regularly traverse the agency's entire rail system looking for defects, turning down speeds when needed. And the agency also conducts regular slow zone mitigation work — like replacing problematic ties — that then allow speeds to be turned back up.
That's why slow zones fluctuate from month to month.
On the Forest Park branch, those mitigation measures aren't enough because of the weakness of the underlying infrastructure.
“It is an entire rebuild of the track bed and drainage system,” she said. “It’s not just remove a tie,” she said.
Not all slow zones are caused by track conditions. Signal and power issues can lead to a slow zone classification, too. So can construction.
In 2023, the CTA rebuilt a section of track on a portion of the Forest Park branch close to downtown, between the LaSalle and Illinois Medical District stations. But some of that stretch is still classified as a slow zone — not because of track conditions, but because of ongoing construction.
Overall, the proportion of the branch classified as a slow zone has only grown since that portion of the project was completed several years ago.
Work on another section of track farther west — between the Kedzie-Homan and Pulaski stations — has been funded with the help of 1.11亿美元 in federal money. Construction is expected to begin on that 2-mile stretch next year.
But there is no real timeline yet for when shovels might go in the ground on the rest of the track replacement project.
In a timeline estimate provided to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the CTA put the project's “open to traffic” year in 2040. In response to a question about that estimate, the CTA said the project's timeline would be contingent on securing funding for the entire branch.
当被问及为何在轨道年代已久的情况下，CTA未能更早启动轨道更换工作时，Poppe指出该机构已在该线路上完成的工作，包括首阶段轨道更换，并表示规划工作可能早在2020年或更早就已开始。“我们一直在非常勤奋地工作……但这规模巨大，且极为复杂，”她说。
CTA承认森林公园支线是一个大问题。
“这一走廊急需关注，”CTA代理总裁诺拉·利尔森在该机构7月董事会会议上表示，其间董事会成员批准了一项协议，将为该项目的设计工作铺平道路。
“我听到人们因西区蓝线较慢而频繁换乘至绿线，”她说。
森林公园市长罗里·霍斯金斯表示，他也收到选民对速度的投诉。
“我听到人们对前往市中心所需时间的担心。我也听到对安全的担忧，”霍斯金斯说，他即将成为北伊利诺伊州交通管理局董事会的新成员
——这个新的区域交通管理机构即将很快监督CTA。
Poppe表示，CTA正在寻找“我们可用的各种资金渠道”以推动重建。CTA已为该项目的部分工程争取到联邦资金，包括明年开始的1.11亿美元轨道工程部分，自2019年以来，森林公园支线项目已获得2.74亿美元州资金，以及200万美元联邦资金。
Poppe表示，该机构没有为该项目应获得多少联邦资金设定具体目标。但大型交通基础设施项目通常依赖联邦资金。
例如，CTA的红线延伸线项目就曾在前总统乔·拜登政府任期即将结束时，通过争取到近20亿美元联邦资金而获得资助。
但特朗普政府去年因所谓对承包中的种族偏好问题进行调查为由，冻结了已批准的红线资金，威胁到该项目的未来，后在联邦法官介入并暂时解冻资金后，施工才得以开始。
“联邦资金对大型交通基础设施投资的前景令人沮丧，”伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校城市规划与政策教授凯特·洛表示，并补充称特朗普政府“试图奖励盟友、惩罚政治对手”。
Poppe指出，森林公园重建项目未必会通过与红线延伸线相同的联邦项目获得资助。上月《纽约时报》报道称，特朗普政府自第二任期开始后，未在该项目下签署任何新协议。
一位专家质疑红线项目——其因成本已膨胀至超过57亿美元而备受批评——是否会影响CTA为森林公园争取资金的能力，以及其利用其他资金帮助支付成本的能力。
“红线延伸线确实存在权衡，”德保罗大学查迪克都市发展研究所的乔·施维特曼表示，“向华盛顿申请一个项目的资金，会损害你争取另一个项目资金的机会，”他补充道。
CTA发言人凯瑟琳·霍斯金斯表示，该机构在争取联邦资金方面“非常成功”，并在红线延伸线联邦资金审查期间，特别为森林公园争取到了1.8亿美元联邦资金。
CTA与伊利诺伊州交通部（IDOT）已达成协议，在大都会规划局（CMAP）的协调下，于同一办公室共同推进走廊沿线工程。相关机构表示，他们正在从整体角度思考这些项目。
以铁路为例，CTA计划用于轨道重建设计部分的资金中，包含一笔近1600万美元的“拥堵缓解”联邦公路管理局专项拨款——该笔资金由IDOT代表运输机构争取而来。
IDOT项目开发工程师史蒂夫·席尔克（Steve Schilke）解释称，IDOT认为改善CTA铁路服务有助于减少I-290高速公路上的车流量：“（这）是通过发展公共交通缓解高速公路超负荷运行的一项拥堵缓解措施。”
不过，这种合作模式也为工程进程增添了后勤挑战。
“问题不仅在于引入修复走廊所需的基础设施，还在于如何确保设备进场时不会影响其他交通方式的运行。”波普（Poppe）表示。
与CTA类似，IDOT也已在走廊沿线开展工作，包括高架桥结构和排水工程。
并非所有人都认为当前机构间的协调力度足以确保两项工程达到最佳效果。
“我们认为需要更全面的协调，以确保走廊沿线项目取得最佳成果。”大都会规划委员会（Metropolitan Planning Council）的奥黛丽·温尼克（Audrey Wennink）表示。
温尼克举例指出，规划委员会已倡议建设高速公路“盖顶”结构——即在高速公路上方建造可改造为人行天桥或自行车道等用途的设施，这将涉及对走廊沿线部分CTA车站的改造。
“我们希望尽可能保留更多选项。”温尼克说。

根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）数据，8月16日弗米利恩河中支流水位已升至超过18英尺——为该河有记录以来的第三高水位。
Dynegy本月早些时候报告称，河岸侵蚀已达到“触发事件”阈值——即在储灰池面临溃坝风险前采取行动的临界点。
芝加哥论坛报
该公司计划在劳动节后开始沿河岸安装500英尺长的岩石，以阻止进一步侵蚀。维斯塔公司通讯经理珍妮·莱昂在8月14日发给《论坛报》的电子邮件中表示，这项稳固工程是预防性措施，而非紧急响应。
但眼见水位上涨，坎普一家担心，在加固工程完工前，日益严重的洪水可能加速侵蚀。
"一场大洪水可能在一夜之间改变一切，"迈克·坎普说。
自2018年以来，Vermilion River中支流一直是法律诉讼的焦点。当时，致力于保护伊利诺伊州水道的非营利组织"草原河流网络"与环保法律非营利组织"地球正义"起诉迪内吉公司，要求其清理三个煤灰池。据环保组织称，这些煤灰足以填满帝国大厦两次。
迪内吉公司的报告发现，中支流沿岸的五颜六色的煤灰淤泥中含有砷、铬、铅、锰和其他有毒物质。
"只要煤灰还在那里，这场危机或接近危机的时刻就会到来，就像这次一样，"草原河流网络气候政策主任安德鲁·雷恩说。"在煤灰被清除之前，我们还要介入多少次呢？"
“永恒工程”
2019年，伊利诺伊州通过了一项《煤灰污染减排法》，要求全州各地的煤灰场在2022年前向伊利诺伊环保局（IEPA）提交封闭计划。雷恩表示，他认为这起诉讼是“煽动性事件”，促使伊利诺伊州在全州范围内规范煤灰清理工作。
煤灰是燃煤发电产生的危险副产品，会形成含有致癌毒素的污泥，并被倾倒入坑洞或池塘中。
2023年，伊利诺伊州司法部长办公室获得法院命令，要求Dynegy公司从维米利恩洪泛区清除煤灰并迁至已退役发电厂的所在地。该计划还需获得伊利诺伊环保局的批准。
维米利恩只是伊利诺伊州数十个等待伊利诺伊环保局批准启动有毒煤灰清理工作的煤灰场之一。
雷恩表示，该州的煤灰法旨在根据环境正义问题和场地稳定性等因素优先处理各场地。他表示，维米利恩所在地应被列为最紧急关注对象之一，因为河流正在侵蚀煤灰堆积处。
“我们甚至还没有一份封闭许可证能够完成整个流程，”雷恩说，“我希望这是第一份完成的，这将真正符合法律的精神。”
对于克里斯汀·坎普来说，这项法律的通过是维米利恩县居民的胜利，但多年后，它尚未转化为实际行动。
“一个小型公民团体能够推动州煤灰法案通过，这是一场巨大的胜利，”她说，“但（中福克清理工作）却陷入了停滞。它必须启动并完成，否则一旦决堤，后果将极其严重。那将是一场灾难。”
伊利诺伊环保局发言人金·比格斯表示，维米利恩许可证申请仍在审查中。她表示，该机构今年2月认定该计划未能达到州标准，而Dynegy公司此后已对通知做出回应。
“煤灰清除计划尚未获批，因为在伊利诺伊环保局能够做出初步许可决定前，必须充分解决已识别的技术缺陷，”比格斯在发给《论坛报》的邮件中表示。
一旦Dynegy的煤灰清除计划获批，该计划将耗时12年。
对雷恩而言，Dynegy最新的侵蚀报告凸显了该审查的紧迫性。
“河流正在侵蚀煤灰堆积处，我们需要在那里找到解决方案，”他说。
“警钟”
“看起来这本该是一件板上钉钉的事，而且这里还有一个‘倒计时钟’。”雷恩说，“我们正看到这个钟开始真正滴答作响。”
雷恩表示，在煤灰污染土壤之前将其清除也至关重要。
在Dynegy公司与环保倡导者等待伊利诺伊州环保局（IEPA）的决定之际，现场运营商被要求向州政府机构、普雷里河流网络（Prairie Rivers Network）和地球正义（Earthjustice）提交月度侵蚀监测报告，记录中间福克的状况及其与三个煤灰池的距离。
维米利恩是一条自由流淌的天然河流，未受水坝等人工建筑改造。雷恩解释说，虽然这一特性使该河在伊利诺伊州极为罕见，但也令其河岸更易受侵蚀。
8月4日，Dynegy披露其6月30日检查结果显示侵蚀已达到触发线——这是2023年应急响应计划中设定的阈值，旨在促使采取行动加固河岸并防止决堤。
Dynegy现计划沿受影响河段铺设500英尺岩石。该公司表示，触发线设定远早于实际风险点，使其能在危机出现前采取行动。公司还称河岸的承载能力仍有1.5倍余量。
“迄今为止，未发生泄漏、决堤或煤灰池状况变化，”莱昂在发给《论坛报》的邮件中写道，“河堤继续按设计运行，强度和余量充足。此次稳固措施属预防性而非应急响应。”
但坎普一家表示，自6月检查以来数周内的河流状况令他们更加担忧，并加剧了必须解决侵蚀问题的紧迫性。他们担心维米利恩现场决堤可能像2008年田纳西州金斯顿化石电厂煤灰泄漏那样严重——该事故释放超过10亿加仑有毒煤灰到附近水域和财产。
“可能会像那样，甚至更糟，”克里斯汀·坎普说，“必须立即行动，因为洪水事件和极端天气事件持续增多且似乎正迅速恶化。”
过去20年洪水已改变了河流的河道，迈克·坎普说。
随着人为气候变化使中西部地区变得更温暖湿润，暴雨和洪水正变得更频繁且强度更大。
克里斯汀·坎普还担心长期接触煤灰对地下水和饮用水的影响。包括坎普一家在内的维米利恩县许多居民依赖私人水井。
随着环保倡导者质疑Dynegy披露最新侵蚀报告时机的合理性，该现场稳定性的担忧与日俱增。
检查发生在6月30日，但公司直到8月才披露已达到阈值。雷恩表示他于8月7日才获悉稳固计划，距检查已过去五周多。
Dynegy7月31日的报告称“自6月30日检查以来，河岸未出现明显侵蚀或开裂迹象”。6月和7月报告均未提及触发阈值已达到或已启动河岸稳固工程。
环保倡导者表示，遗漏行为令监测报告的透明度令人担忧。
“除了清除煤灰的延迟，我们还对Dynegy月度侵蚀检查报告中显示出的透明度缺失感到不安，”环保倡导组织生态正义合作组织（Eco-Justice Collaborative）联合主任兰·里查特在8月11日新闻稿中表示。该总部位于尚佩恩的环保组织与普雷里河流网络在伊利诺伊州煤灰监管方面密切合作，包括保护维米利恩河中间福克的努力。
为什么报告中省略了对需要河岸稳定化的提及？Richart写道。"公众有权——且Dynegy有义务提供——关于该项目的准确及时信息。"
Earthjustice的律师Jenny Cassel表示，该律师事务所正在审查这一省略行为。
"同意令规定了对未能遵守命令中各项条款的约定处罚；我们继续评估在这种情况下采取适当后续行动，"Cassel在周五的一份声明中表示。
Lyon表示，该说法"只要灰渣还在那里，这就会酿成危机时刻或像这次一样陷入危机前的状态。在煤灰被清除之前，我们还要介入多少次？"
安德鲁·Rehn（Prairie Rivers Network气候政策主任）表示，Dynegy未能做到透明化的说法"不实"，因为该公司在6月下旬评估条件后两天内即向伊利诺伊州环保局（IEPA）、司法部长办公室及伊利诺伊州自然资源部通报了情况。
尽管如此，Rehn表示，他很高兴Dynegy最终向环保组织披露了侵蚀情况，并正在采取措施加固河岸。
"我希望这是一个警钟，"Rehn说。"它提醒我们，这条河并非静止不变。监管流程并未改变，但这条河在四年间发生了很大变化。"
他解释道，令局势难以管理的原因在于，河流可能多年逐渐侵蚀，然后在一次洪水中发生剧变。
"这就是河流侵蚀棘手之处：它缓慢发生，然后突然爆发，"他说。
在发给《论坛报》的邮件中，Lyon表示，Dynegy的当务之急是在永久封闭计划通过监管流程期间保持灰渣稳定。
"解决方案是永久封闭，但在此之前，我们的工作是保持煤灰稳定、安全，并保护中支流、相邻野生动物栖息地及使用它们的民众，"她说。
对于长期致力于保护中支流的Mike Camp而言，州政府行动的"冰川速度"令人沮丧。
在20世纪80年代，他曾是推动该河流获得国家风景河流地位的居民之一，该地位旨在保护其自然、休闲及景观价值。这一努力最终为如今的Kickapoo州立休闲区及Middle Fork州立鱼类和野生动物区奠定了基础。
"我是世界上最不情愿的活动家，"他说。"但有些事值得为之奋斗。"

数据中心应降低房主财产税，而非提高
更多人能接受在自家社区附近建核电站，而非数据中心，这是根据盖洛普近期民意调查得出的结论。谁能想到，就连五年前也无法预测这种情况？
为推动人工智能发展、满足全民智能手机成瘾需求所必需的设施，正饱受两党共同抵制。
然而即便如此，数据中心已成为现代生活的既成事实。既然如此，公众最好能从中获取并实现最大价值。
问题是，在其他地区，数据中心已带来财产税减免，而在库克县，我们却在给予许多此类设施税收优惠的同时，令房主的账单持续上涨。
试将劳登县与库克县的数据中心及财产税标题进行对比。
在被称为“数据中心巷”（因拥有逾250个数据中心而得名）的劳登县，该行业预计明年将产生13亿美元税收收入。随着这一红利到来，住宅财产税账单呈下降趋势，过去十年间已下降约30%，据《纽约时报》报道。
你可以争论权衡利弊，但无法否认数字。
劳登县已找到让庞大数据中心产业创造巨额本地收入并减轻房主税负的方法；库克县应研究为何自身制度产生了截然不同的结果。
库克县在人口和土地面积上均远大于劳登县。我们的数据中心数量少得多——仅逾100个，且仍有更多计划建设。
那并非微不足道。
北莱克镇（一处西部小郊区）拥有多个数据中心，包括全州最大此类设施。然而该镇的经历与劳登县截然不同。
据库克县财务官玛丽亚·帕帕斯发布的最新报告，北莱克镇在2025财年住宅财产税总额较前一年上涨13.3%。
本可以避免这种情况。《芝加哥论坛报》与伊利诺伊答案项目的分析显示，若当地数据中心未获评估减值及激励措施，北莱克镇普通房主每年可节省逾2,000美元税款——节省近30%。
诚然，库克县的数据中心仍需缴纳财产税。但当房主账单不断攀升时，许多此类设施却享有数千万美元的财产税减免。调查发现，数据中心从两个来源共获近1亿美元财产税减免：县级税收激励及上诉后评估减值。
其中一项激励措施是库克县的6b类项目，这是一项数十年历史的经济发展工具，旨在鼓励工业投资。6b类项目允许县政府对符合条件的工业地产在12年内大幅降低评估值，从而提供实质性财产税减免。数据中心已被允许符合该工业补贴条件。
值得庆幸的是，库克县似乎已意识到其激励制度需要更新，且有一个天然的截止期限：6b类项目及其他多项县级激励措施的条款将于2027年底到期，除非库克县委员会续期。该县已委托独立机构研究其经济发展激励措施，并释放改革信号；其自身分析发现，这些激励措施已令库克县商业及工业地产价值的11%免于征税。
于是，我们不得不问：为何在2026年最炙手可热、最富有的行业之一享受数十年工业发展补贴减免财产税之际，房主的账单却持续上涨？
伊利诺伊州层面，JB·普里茨克州长今年6月宣布暂停向数据中心签发新的州级税收激励协议。该县应效仿州长的做法。
帕帕斯指出，“北部和西北郊区的住宅税收增长速度是通胀率的三倍以上”。在他看来，其中部分原因在于“在非大选年通过公投批准的提税案，平均每五名合格选民中就有一人支持”。
但这几乎无法解释整体增幅；并非每个市镇都批准了提税公投。帕帕斯表示，考虑到库克县的房产税已连续32年上涨，当地官员有责任确保税负均匀分摊。（他们也应想方设法降低成本，但这是另一回事。）
我们生活在一个州，立法者曾拒绝为芝加哥熊队提供“房产税确定性”。
那么，当地官员为何要向数据中心提供数千万美元的激励资金？
当然，当地官员为何做出此决定的原因显而易见。这也是熊队要求将房产税减免纳入与阿灵顿高地交易的一部分的原因。
他们辩称，由于伊利诺伊州极高的房产税，若无补贴，这些开发项目根本无法实现。
但某些商业开发项目的公共价值高于其他项目。有些投资——尤其是那些创造长期稳定就业岗位的投资——税收激励完全合理。
正如我们不止一次所述，各州处于竞争环境中。在多个司法管辖区争相吸引重大新工厂或企业的情况下，伊利诺伊州及其地方政府理应推出有竞争力的激励方案。
数据中心根本不在此列。至少现在不是。几年前，数据中心行业还能有效地让各州相互竞争并借此赢得激励。如今，该行业在全国多地已臭名昭著。我们看到，开放数据中心大门的地区无论在共和党还是民主党选区，都面临来自选民的强烈反对。
芝加哥地区部分地区因其宽带、水资源和能源等资源优势，对数据中心开发商颇具吸引力。这些项目应基于其自身价值加以考量。至少，它们应减轻而非加重所在地的税收负担。
美式橄榄球是美国的运动。球员理应获得更好的保护
新的大学橄榄球赛季和NFL赛季即将开幕，和大多数人一样，我们也对即将到来的比赛充满期待。
美式橄榄球是一项了不起的运动，它融合了技巧、速度、力量、暴力（或许最被低估的一点），以及每一次进攻中11名球员如何协同作战将那颗奇形怪状的球向前推进，而对面同样11名球员则竭力阻止这一进展。
正当我们对这项美国秋季仪式感到兴奋之时，《纽约时报》却带来了一则重要报道，用一个残酷的事实刺痛我们的良心：这项运动对职业球员造成的身体伤害有多么严重。根据波士顿大学、Mass General Brigham和UNITE脑库等机构的最新研究，在2008年至2021年间已知去世的2,079名前NFL球员中，有16.6%被诊断出患有慢性创伤性脑病（CTE）——这种退行性脑部疾病。
实际患病率肯定更高。在2016年至2021年间去世的878名前球员中，约四分之一（235人）的大脑经过实际检查，其中215人被确诊为CTE。这意味着在那段时期去世的878人中，至少25%患有这种疾病，实际比例可能更高。
这种脑部疾病与痴呆症和其他认知障碍有关。导致橄榄球运动员出现如此多CTE病例的明确原因，是球员在比赛中反复遭受的头部撞击。
职业橄榄球运动员所付出的身体代价多年来已广为人知。你经常能看到前球员在接受采访时表示，即使行动不便、关节疼痛挥之不去，他们仍会选择重返赛场。但退行性脑部疾病与行动受限完全不是一回事，前球员们对这一问题的关注度也在不断提高，这是理所应当的。
球迷也应当关心这一问题。如果我们不与球员一道，要求联盟竭尽所能让这项运动更安全，那么我们就是在纵容一个无法接受的球员健康风险持续存在。橄榄球本质上永远不会是一项"安全"的运动，但确实存在一些措施可以更好地保护球员。
实际上，NFL近年来已采取了一些重要举措，大多数接受CTE检查的球员并未参与比赛。联盟已制定脑震荡协议，并严厉处罚危险动作（如头盔对头盔的擒抱），头盔技术也得到了改进，一些球员开始使用专业的防护帽，据说可减少约10%的冲击力。
这些措施能否在未来降低CTE的发病率？我们希望如此，为了球员和这项运动的未来。
但从这项令人震惊的研究中可以清楚看出，联盟不能就此止步。无论是在规则还是装备技术方面，都必须持续努力改进。在这些改进进行的同时，NFL必须对公众、尤其是球员及其家人完全透明地披露当前研究状况，让他们能够在知情的情况下判断职业橄榄球生涯的回报是否值得承担这样的代价。
至于那些抱怨这项运动变得"软弱"或认为保护球员的规则"毁了"比赛的人，他们的观点应当被坚决拒绝。那些在巅峰期退役的球员（如熊队中锋德鲁·达尔曼在刚过去的休赛期选择退役）应被树立为正面榜样。或许更短的橄榄球职业生涯能让球员拥有更长久健康的生活，我们不会惊讶于会有更多球员效仿达尔曼的选择。
年复一年，橄榄球都是一场引人入胜的盛宴。NFL在文化影响力方面无与伦比，这绝非偶然。
但即便如此，尽管NFL在文化上占据主导地位，我们也不应容忍这种程度的职业风险——毕竟，它说到底不过是供我们娱乐的存在。
今日56年前：一项拯救州制宪公约的计划
多个州的选民已否决了拟议的州宪法，主要原因在于反对者联合起来反对新章程中的各项特色条款。伊利诺伊州制宪会议的代表们曾被警告此危险……并被建议将每项有争议的事项单独提交选民表决。然而，随着会议接近尾声，代表们发现自己陷入了所有支持者本希望避免的陷阱。
两项高度争议的议题——州众议员单一选区制以及司法选举延续政治化——将被单独提交表决，但它们仍是宪法主文件的一部分……
上述两个反对阵营均知晓，主文件可能比单独提交的议题获得更多选票。因此，他们可能会犹豫或拒绝支持主文件。……
除上述不利因素外，对政府的普遍不信任、对高税收的怨恨以及在动荡社会环境下对变革的恐惨，进一步加剧了拟议新宪法的困境。……除非采取措施弥补这些缺陷，否则积极反对拟议新宪法的阵营很可能取得胜利。……
显然，现在重新起草文件为时已晚。然而，进行某些修改尚不算迟……制宪会议主席塞缪尔·W·威特默（Samuel W·Witmer）已提出以下建议：
自主文件中删除要求州众议员从单一选区选举产生的条款。
自主文件中删除延续司法选举政治化的条款。
修订单独提交的提案，使上述两项问题不仅作为拟议宪法的条款，还可作为现行宪法的修正案提交表决。
对于这些关键问题，双方均有论据支持。本报赞成现行的累积投票制，以确保全州各地区的少数派代表权。THE TRIBUNE赞成现行的累积投票制，以确保全州各地区的少数派代表权。我们支持司法优选任命制，并非因其完美无缺，而是因其能提升法官素质……现在是让民众投票并决定他们所需之时。
……制宪会议应摆脱困境，避免其所有努力付诸东流。

布兰登·约翰逊是否会再次参选？他有时间等待决定

劳拉·华盛顿
他会参选吗？他推迟决定是希望从中获得什么？这些问题令芝加哥政界人士如坐针毡。
我们都想知道：芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊是否会决定竞选连任？
数周来，选民请愿书已在街头流传。共有9名候选人希望赢得2027年2月的选举，但迄今为止，市长尚未在其中。
数周来，记者们一直在追问“（你）是否参选？”数周来，约翰逊的回答始终是他将“很快”做出决定。时间已所剩无几。
约翰逊拖延的目的是什么？毕竟，他又不是试图保持在边界内的NFL接球手。
一些观察人士不屑一顾，认为约翰逊根本没有胜算，那他为何还要自讨苦吃？
上月底在记者会上被追问时，约翰逊回应称：“据我所知，大家都急着赶在2月到来之前。我并不着急，对吧？我没有理由着急。”
诚然，作为现任市长，约翰逊有奢侈的等待时间。
相反，他大肆宣扬其政府的“进展”，并指出：“正如我在多个场合反复强调的那样，在现代史上，没有哪位市长能说他们在任期间经济增长、暴力犯罪下降。”
作为竞争激烈选战中唯一真正的进步派人士，他确实拥有明确的前进方向。但作为一名非裔美国人竞选者，情况则另当别论。若以往选举历史为依据，商人兼慈善家威利·威尔逊很可能会从非裔美国选民中获得高达10%的选票。这将直接分流约翰逊的票源，并可能产生决定性影响。
约翰逊的批评者认为，市长在管理能力和执政能力方面已失去公信力。然而，他的激进派支持者坚称，他在降低犯罪率和解决社会与经济不平等方面正在取得进展。
不要轻易断言他已出局。离2月还有很长时间。他有时间和精力将最忠实的选民动员起来，令自己进入决选。
但约翰逊也面临重重挑战。备受赞誉的警察局长拉里·斯内林退休后，警察局局势陷入不确定。斑乐芝加哥公司（正在西区建设17亿美元赌场综合体）的财务状况岌岌可危。芝加哥公立学校系统资金紧张。
据州政府记录，截至6月底，约翰逊的政治竞选基金仅剩$631,309。而主要市长候选人之一、伊利诺伊州州务卿亚历克西·贾努利亚斯则拥有超过$22万的竞选资金。
芝加哥教师工会正陷入与服务雇员国际工会（曾是其坚定盟友）的纠纷。两大工会曾在约翰逊首次竞选时大力捐助，但此次可能无法形成统一战线。教师工会将被迫同时应对两条战线——当地学区选举和市长选战，这在战术和资金上均处于劣势。
然而，最敏锐的政治观察家们仍预计约翰逊会再次参选。
这是现任优势。约翰逊将焦点保持在“市长”而非“市长选战”上。作为所有候选人中知名度最高的一人，他可利用其舆论影响力推动自身议程。
他的路径狭窄。据芝加哥大学曼苏托民调委托的一项民意调查显示，仅13.6%的芝加哥选民表示希望约翰逊再次参选
Institute for Urban Innovation的调查显示，该调查于6月中旬进行，发现$58\%$的受访者对约翰逊再次参选感到不兴奋。约翰逊的工作支持率已降至$23\%$，相比之下，去年12月为$25\%$。
别急着排除他。现在距离2月还很远。他有时间和精力将最忠实的选民动员起来，让他进入决选。
这种等待观望的时刻让我想起多年前的一位两任市长，他似乎也在为连任竞选做准备。那是2018年9月。秋季选举季已经到来。
拉姆·伊曼纽尔正面临强劲逆风，包括因关闭数十所芝加哥学校和心理健康诊所而受到批评。还有他涉嫌卷入警察枪杀拉坎·麦克唐纳案的掩盖丑闻。这些争议至今仍困扰着他。
但他仍然令对手感到畏惧和强大。最敏锐的政治观察家们曾推测他会再次尝试。
然后在一个劳工节后的平静早晨，伊曼纽尔召开市政厅记者会并抛出重磅消息。他将不再竞选连任。这一决定令竞选形势彻底改观，并为当时名不见经传的 Lori Lightfoot 的当选铺平了道路。
伊曼纽尔是否只是厌倦了治理芝加哥的巨大挑战？抑或是他押对宝后及时抽身？
布兰登·约翰逊不是拉姆·伊曼纽尔。

芝加哥的财政危机本质是增长危机

作者：Stuart Loren 《芝加哥论坛报》特约撰稿
随着芝加哥下一任市长竞选逐步成形，城市财政成为焦点议题。2026年的财政收入未达预期，近期市财政局长和代理首席财务官相继辞职，而芝加哥正面临2027财年预计1.16亿美元赤字及日益增长的养老金压力。与此同时，该市信用评级濒临垃圾级，三大评级机构中有三家给出负面展望。芝加哥的财政问题正在一场危机接一场危机中持续恶化。
不出所料，市长及其盟友给出了一个熟悉的诊断：企业和富人未缴纳“公平份额”的税收不足。或许他们并未意识到，伊利诺伊州的企业所得税税率为9.5%，在全美名列前茅。抑或他们忽略了在六大主要州及地方税种指数中——涵盖销售税、财产税和所得税——芝加哥在25个最大美国城市中综合排名第一，在居民和企业两大类别中均位居榜首。
事实是，倘若提高税收是解决芝加哥财政困境的答案，我们早已解决了这些问题。相反，税收问题分散了对根本原因的关注——甚至可能加剧问题。该市的财政问题及大部分政治失能，均源于其糟糕的经济增长记录。
让我们回顾一些相当令人沮丧的数据。自2002年以来，我的分析显示，库克县（芝加哥经济最接近的官方代理指标）的经济增长在23年中有20年落后于全美，实际通胀调整后年增长率仅为1%，而全国为2.2%。在拉姆·伊曼纽尔市长任内，差距虽有缩小但从未完全弥合。从理查德·M·戴利市长开始，芝加哥在每一任市长任内的经济增长均落后于全国。同期，美国经济增长了64%，而芝加哥仅增长25%。
倘若芝加哥经济增速与全国持平，今日经济规模将大出三分之一。这一缺失的产出——截至2024年，年均缺口达1730亿美元——正是投资、就业和活力所缺乏的部分，这些要素本可为居民和企业创造繁荣机遇，提升当地生活质量，并——对城市财政至关重要——培育健康的税基。
这一更健康的税基能带来多少收益？为估算预算影响，我基于领先公共财政研究校准的敏感度，建模芝加哥主要税种对经济增长的反应。例如，经济每增长1%，销售税收入将提升0.85%，公用事业税收入提升0.35%，交易税收入提升1.2%。若芝加哥经济增速与全国同步，2025年非财产税收入将多收约11亿美元——几乎相当于明年预计赤字的规模。经济规模更大还能在保持市财产税征收比例不变的情况下，额外支持约5.7亿美元的财产税收入。
在缺乏强劲增长的情况下，芝加哥反复诉诸提高税收。自2014年后，新增税收和税率上调持续攀升。自此，该市财产税征收额几乎翻倍，从9.3亿美元增至18亿美元。芝加哥居民面临的综合销售税税率从9.25%升至10.5%。此外，该市还开征了水务和污水税，将娱乐税扩展至流媒体服务，并将软件和设备租赁税从8%提高至15%，几近翻倍。对提高税收的依赖仍在持续：市政府2025年财务报告将收入增长主要归因于“更高的税收和费用”。
根据芝加哥2025年实际经济状况，若沿用2014年的税种与税率组合，该市仅能产生约47亿美元收入，而去年现行税收结构则带来约62亿美元。换言之，芝加哥需要比2014年税制多约31%的收入。若芝加哥经济增速与全国一致，同一2014年组合本可产生约60亿美元，仅需再增加约4%即可达到去年实际总额。简言之，若经济增长更强劲，芝加哥在2014年后的大部分税收上调本可避免。
这些影响不仅限于年度预算，还涉及养老金与学校。在更强劲增长的情景下，额外的11亿美元非房产税收入与5.7亿美元房产税能力将共计约17亿美元
——约占芝加哥2025年养老金缴款的58%。更大的房产基数也本可支撑更多来自CPS独立房产税征收的收入。
更糟的是，停滞不仅拖累芝加哥财政，也撕裂其政治。当经济增长不足，每份预算都沦为零和博弈：谁来出钱、谁受益、何处削减。诚然，增长本身并不足够：预算仍需纪律，且无市长能控制全国经济。但几乎所有同类城市表现更佳，我们当然也能做到。增长拓宽税基，让工人、企业与政府共享成功红利。它为改善服务、资助公共优先事项创造空间，而无需将每一项收益都变成他人的损失。
这又将我们带回市长选战。选民应问的问题是：哪位候选人能提供可信的增长计划，让在芝加哥建设、雇佣与投资更容易、更有吸引力
——并让民众与企业更有理由留下。在经历了长达25年的停滞后，芝加哥再也经不起更多停滞。疲弱增长将引发高税收、服务恶化与人口外流的下行螺旋。下任市长的首要任务不是寻找新的征税对象，而是让芝加哥实现增长。

芝加哥人爱德华·H·利维：在水门事件后重建司法体系信任
作者：迈克尔·佩雷格林 《论坛报》特约撰稿

当前关于水门事件的全国性讨论，为我们提供了一个重要提醒：腐败与道德沦丧的泥沼曾考验美国民主的根基，削弱公众对政府的信任，并损害美国司法部长的公信力。同时，它也让我们铭记那些不懈努力重建信任与公信力的人，其中就包括一位来自芝加哥的法学学者兼教育家。
从1972年到1974年，共有五位不同的男性先后担任常任或代理司法部长，如此频繁的人事更迭严重削弱了该职位的原则性与执行力。
在这五人中，约翰·米切尔因在任职期间参与的活动被判犯有阴谋、妨碍司法和伪证罪。他的继任者理查德·克莱因丁斯特则因藐视国会罪被定罪。备受尊敬的埃利奥特·理查森及其副手威廉·拉克尔肖斯均在“周六晚大屠杀”事件中辞职。他们的继任者罗伯特·H·博克则由美国参议员威廉·塞克斯比接替，后者在杰拉尔德·福特总统就职后不久卸任。
更广泛而言，超过20名为政府服务的律师因水门相关滥用职权行为辞职或被起诉、取消律师资格并 / 或入狱。除米切尔和克莱因丁斯特外，他们还包括一名代理联邦调查局局长、证券交易委员会主席、总统国内事务助理、白宫法律顾问、总统特别法律顾问、总统竞选连任委员会总法律顾问以及总统私人律师。
上任后，福特决心重塑司法体系整体及司法部的廉正与公信力。福特深知，传统的政治任命无法实现这一目标，政治不应干预执法——尤其是在具体案件的决定中。因此，他寻求一位深谙此道的人出任司法部长。为完成这一非凡使命，他选择了芝加哥大学前校长爱德华·H·利维。
利维本质上是芝加哥人，从幼儿园到法学院均在芝加哥大学教育体系内完成学业。二战期间在司法部任职后，他于1950年被任命为该校法学院院长。其后他担任教务长，并于1968年最终出任校长，在最动荡的社会与政治时期领导学校，直至1975年初被提名为司法部长。
利维深知其职位面临的重重困难。在宣誓就职仪式上，他指出：“没有什么比我们未能以言行明确表明法律不是党派工具，更能削弱生活质量或危及我们共同珍视目标的实现。”因此，他致力于重振司法部在水门事件三年间受损的历史原则——透明、独立与廉正。
利维在任期间最具实质性的成就，源于对水门调查中暴露的执法滥用行为的回应。这些成就包括制定后来被称为《外国情报监视法》的法案，以及制定针对联邦调查局国内安全调查的具体司法部长指导方针。
但更令人印象深刻且更具持久意义的是他那些无形的成就，这些成就本质上具有制度性。其中包括将司法管理恢复到其传统的“公平基础而非偏袒之上”，坚持在执法中保持中立，以及以其声誉、坦诚与才智为司法部文化注入的贡献。基于这些成就，其他人开始将他视为“现代司法部长的典范”。
当然，利维并非唯一一位参与应对水门事件滥权行为的芝加哥人。著名辩护律师小艾伯特·E·詹纳（Albert E. Jenner Jr.）曾担任众议院司法委员会弹劾调查的少数党法律顾问。吉尔·温-班克斯（Jill Wine-Banks）是一名助理特别检察官，她曾以著名的交叉询问质证尼克松的秘书罗丝·玛丽·伍兹（Rose Mary Woods）。而一位来自帕克里奇的耶鲁法学院毕业生希拉里·罗德姆（Hillary Rodham）则是司法委员会的研究人员。
然而在许多方面，利维的任务比检察官们更为飘忽不定，也必然更为艰巨：修复因水门事件的严重滥权行为而受损的法治。在这个角色中，他捍卫司法部作为“特别倡导者”的角色，既在法律上捍卫政府决定，又为这些决定注入了“品质与价值”——这些品质与价值长期以来一直是美国宪政体系的基石。
卸任后，利维回到芝加哥大学，继续从事学术与公共服务，而非追求自我晋升或个人经济利益。2000年利维去世时，福特总统将他描述为“所有人的司法部长典范”。
历史已较为可信地识别出参与水门丑闻的众多反派，却较少可信地认可帮助国家克服该丑闻的为数不多的英雄。因此，我们应铭记芝加哥人爱德华·H·利维的英雄事迹。

伯克破坏改革
在其8月19日题为《电子监控系统已破产》的专栏文章中，库克县检察官Eileen Burke实质上主张仅凭指控就应决定谁在审前被拘留，无视至关重要的法律原则与法律本身。
无罪推定与正当程序是美国刑事司法体系的基础。美国最高法院数十年前确认，“在我们的社会中，自由是常态，审前羁押……则是受到严格限制的例外。”《审前公平法》，伯克声称支持的关键种族正义立法，要求法官在决定某人是否应在审前被羁押时，必须审视每个案件的事实与每个人的具体情况。
实际上，伯克一直在持续破坏《审前公平法》。她出台政策限制检察官的自由裁量权，要求在特定指控提出时必须寻求羁押，并在任何被告人被置于电子监控时必须提出异议——尽管研究表明，即使面临严重指控且处于电子监控下的人在等待审判期间也能成功做到。
伯克曾任上诉法院法官，审查过数百起独特案件并对其作出个别裁决，她本应更清楚这些道理。
洛约拉大学的研究人员已证明，伯克的政策导致审前羁押率急剧上升，尽管在她上任前犯罪趋势已开始下降。采纳伯克的电子监控提议只会令问题更加严重。

法官们并未在羁押他们认为不安全的人时感到困难。伊利诺伊审前司法网络最近发布的一份报告显示，即使法院的风险评估工具认定被告为低风险，法官仍批准了74%的羁押请求。自《审前公平法》生效以来，在库克县等待审判期间处于社区中的94%人士未被指控任何新的暴力或人身犯罪。
审前羁押会导致人们失去工作、住房及子女抚养权——这种不稳定状态增加了他们未来被逮捕的可能性。
指控决定永远不应成为决定谁能在案件待决期间返回社区的唯一依据。在库克县，约半数符合羁押条件的案件最终被驳回或判无罪。
伯克的政策破坏了公共安全、正当程序与司法独立。她本应真正致力于其声称支持的改革，而非倒退这些改革。

检察官的遗漏
感谢刊登库克县检察官Eileen Burke的专栏文章。她提及的关于该计划的许多事实无人会有异议。她指出，公共失败案例太多，且太多被拘留者被置于电子监控下。她还表示“《审前公平法》基于一个合理的原则”：任何人都不应能用金钱换取出狱。
这篇专栏文章的问题在于它忽略了一些重要的观点。文章指出：“在法官决定是否在审判前拘留嫌疑人时，‘关键问题是嫌疑人是否对公众构成威胁’。”然而，它却忽略了在《审前公平法案》实施前，这些保释听证会可能短至30秒至1分钟。这几乎不足以做出如此重要的决定。文章还忽略了这些听证会可能涉及金钱协商，法官会询问辩护律师其当事人能负担多少保释金。
更重要的是，文章忽略了伊利诺伊州最高法院最近指派了一个工作组，以寻找解决电子监控问题的方案。该工作组由法官、执法人员、一位学者以及来自全州刑事司法系统的各利益相关者组成。
在听取该工作组的建议后，我希望能看到州检察官撰写的另一篇专栏文章。

为什么为儿童接种疫苗很重要
关于题为《芝加哥儿童理应得到比疫苗政治秀更好的待遇》（8月20日）的专栏文章：作为一名年长的儿科医生和传染病专家，当多种现有疫苗尚未问世时，我已在行医。我见证过未接种疫苗的健康儿童因缺乏免疫而遭受的后果。在20世纪80年代，我曾多次为诊断细菌性脑膜炎的儿童进行脊椎穿刺。其中一些儿童因此出现听力损失或其他残疾。
令我尤为沮丧的是，家长对麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）疫苗安全性的怀疑被不断放大。麻疹在美国正呈现上升趋势，且在未接种人群中极易传播。急性感染期间可能出现肺炎、脑损伤甚至死亡等严重并发症。即使儿童未出现重症麻疹，其日后感染其他疾病的风险也会增加，因为麻疹会破坏大量“记忆”免疫细胞。这意味着儿童在随后数月甚至数年内，罹患流感、肺炎或细菌感染的风险均会上升。
此外，幼儿感染麻疹后罕见但极具破坏性的后果之一是亚急性硬化性全脑炎（SSPE），一种进行性脑部疾病。SSPE甚至可能在轻度麻疹感染后发生，通常在初次感染后7至10年出现症状。如今在美国执业的医生中，极少有人见过SSPE病例。我在医学院实习时，曾跟随一位研究SSPE的儿科神经病学专家。我至今仍清晰记得，那些父母带着孩子前来求医，渴望为这个曾经健康的孩子寻找治愈方法——这种疾病无一例外地致命，令他们心碎不已。
对我来说，任何阻碍儿童接种MMR疫苗的提议都让我深感不安。最近有朋友问我，小儿麻痹症的瘫痪复发是否能让人们意识到不接种疫苗的危险。我说我不知道。但我知道的是，“群体免疫”惠及我们所有人。我为子女接种疫苗，不仅是为了保护他们免受严重疾病侵害，更是出于一种道德义务——保护身边的人，包括因免疫缺陷或癌症诊断而无法接种疫苗的儿童。
诚然，美国公共机构的信任度常被合理质疑，但绝大多数儿科医生的唯一目标，是与家长合作，优化儿童健康。美国儿科学会推荐的疫苗利大于弊，其效益已被反复证实。我们的所有儿童都应获得基于科学而非虚假信息和政治秀的审慎疫苗建议。

北芝加哥启动更换老旧铅管工程
作者：史蒂夫·萨丁 《湖县新闻报》
建筑施工队正在为北芝加哥150户家庭更换连接自来水供应的老旧铅管，这是该市为改善居民饮用水质量而启动的多年计划的一部分，且无需居民承担任何费用。
北芝加哥约有不到1,000户家庭使用铅管，市长小利昂·罗金厄姆表示，今年的首要任务是布罗德韦走廊。1990年后建造的房屋大多采用铜管。而一些超过100年历史的老房子则仍使用铅管。
他说：“我很高兴看到我们正在老房子里推进这项工作。有铅管的居民将能更放心地使用自来水。我们会继续更换，直到彻底解决问题。”
该市正在继续用伊利诺伊州环境保护局的资金为社区老房子更换铅管，改用铜管，以消除可能危害人体或污染水质的隐患。
北芝加哥的铅管更换计划刚刚起步，而沃基根市早在三年前就已启动。该市已完成约1,200户家庭的铅管更换工作，预计总共需要更换9,000户。目前正在开展公共信息宣传活动。
北芝加哥市工程师史蒂夫·西斯利卡（供职于特罗特联合公司）表示，今年的项目由伊利诺伊州环境保护局提供的240万美元无偿贷款资助。该局正在管理由前总统约瑟夫·拜登基础设施法案产生的联邦资金。
西斯利卡表示，该市最近获悉明年将从伊利诺伊州环境保护局获得480万美元无偿贷款，用于更多铅管更换工程。该局还提供为期40年的无息贷款。该市计划在不使用市政资金的情况下完成整个项目。
另一个目标是在2037年联邦规定的最后期限前完成项目，在不使用市政资金或将成本转嫁给房主的情况下，消除全国的铅管隐患。罗金厄姆表示，这是一项重中之重。
市长说：“我们正在竭尽全力确保这项工程不会给居民带来负担。”
西斯利卡表示，施工队完成工作后，部分情况下草坪会被挖开并重新播种。居民可通过在自家门前人行道区域轻轻浇水来帮助新种的草皮成活。
他说：“请在傍晚时分轻轻浇水，帮助草皮生根。草皮应在7至10天内开始生长。定期浇水将加快其成活。”
在沃基根，负责监督当地铅管更换项目的市自来水事业局局长安东尼奥·多明格斯表示，本财年（5月1日开始）将有超过920万美元用于铅管更换工程。
多明格斯表示，这笔超过920万美元的资金中，493万美元为无偿贷款，略多于200万美元为40年期无息贷款，另有230万美元来自本财年的市政预算。
沃基根市长萨姆·坎宁安在本月市议会的一次会议上对200多名民众表示，该市正在开展宣传活动，走访社区活动、在区会议上进行演讲，并举办其他集会。他呼吁社区协助。
坎宁安说：“当我们敲响您所在区域或朋友所在区域的门时，请务必让我们进屋更换这些铅管。如果这些管线未能全部更换，猜猜到时谁会为此买单？是我们。”

伊利诺伊州是包括哥伦比亚特区在内的23个州之一，这些州对特朗普的行政令提出了挑战，认为这是联邦政府试图干预本应由各州宪法授权管理的选举事务的违宪行为。
但在未签名的6比3裁决中，法院多数意见认为各州目前缺乏对该行政令提出挑战的资格，因为该命令尚未实施。
多数意见写道：“法院对本申请的处置并不意味着政府为实施该命令而采取的任何措施必然合法。在这一点上，时间会证明一切。”“但该命令本身并未对各州造成损害，因此地区法院无权禁止政府尝试实施它。”
在一份由索尼娅·索托马约尔与埃琳娜·卡根共同签署的反对意见中，她们承认该裁决“没有解决总统试图干预2026年11月选举管理合法性的问题，也未表明行政部门是否有任何宪法或法定权力来实施总统的指令。相反，今天的裁决仅仅推迟了对这些挑战的审理。”
而在另一份由凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊签署的反对意见中，她表示该裁决“毫无必要地给即将到来的中期选举注入了混乱和不确定性”。

伊利诺伊州抵制了联邦政府试图获取详细个人选民信息的企图，而行政令的反对者则认为特朗普政府将利用数据条款起诉不愿向国土安全部提供选民数据的州和地方官员。
“距离中期选举投票仅剩数周，总统正试图让美国人对选举安全感到恐惧，重写规则，并将联邦政府置于选民与选票之间，”正寻求连任并被视为2028年总统候选人热门人选的普里茨克在一份声明中表示。
“伊利诺伊州将继续在本州管理自由公正的选举，同时对任何侵犯选民权利的攻击进行斗争，”普里茨克这位特朗普的直言批评者补充道，“唐纳德·特朗普不应专注于当总统，而是渴望成为国王。在美国，这个国家的人民决定政府的结果。”
正在退休不寻求连任的德宾在周二的一份声明中表示，特朗普一直在“通过对‘被操纵’选举提出毫无根据的指控、要求不合理的选民登记要求、限制邮寄投票并威胁要违宪地将选举国有化，破坏我们的民主”。
作为参议院司法委员会的民主党资深成员，德宾称该裁决“是特朗普总统试图追求这些违法目标的暂时程序性胜利，但它并未改变宪法赋予各州管理选举的现实，随着诉讼继续进行，法治必须占据上风。”
特朗普长期以来错误地将邮寄投票描述为充斥欺诈，并将他在2020年败给乔·拜登归咎于邮寄选票的非法投票。他多次试图大幅限制谁可以通过邮寄投票，尽管他本人经常从佛罗里达州通过邮寄投票。
在2024年大选中，约30%的选票是通过邮寄提交的，民主党人越来越多地采用邮寄投票策略，而共和党人则相反。在伊利诺伊州，选民可以申请永久接收邮寄选票。
《妇女选民联盟》在另一起针对美国邮政署在确定选民资格方面的作用提出质疑的诉讼中指出，联邦法院在该案中的命令“仍然有效，我们将奋力维持现状或寻求新的救济”。
“需要注意的是，（周一的）裁决仅涉及州原告提出挑战的时机问题。它不会影响任何选民通过邮寄选票进行投票的能力。最高法院并未就行政令的实质内容作出裁决，并明确表示：‘如果美国邮政署的最终规则损害各州利益，各州可对该规则提出挑战。’”该声明称。

约翰逊，乔安妮·埃莉诺
乔安妮·埃莉诺（娘家姓弗朗兹）·约翰逊，享年90岁，一位慈爱的母亲、祖母、姑妈、姐妹、嫂子和朋友，于2026年8月16日在伊利诺伊州黑恩斯维尔的家中安详离世。她的丈夫埃尔兰德·亚伦·约翰逊及12位兄弟姐妹先她而去。
1935年9月9日，她出生于芝加哥西北部的梅费尔社区，父母是家政服务员索菲亚·玛丽亚（尼德奎尔）·弗朗兹和工厂工人约翰·海因里希·弗朗兹。乔安妮在家中出生，是13个孩子中的第12个。梅费尔社区当时与伏尔加德意志人有着深厚渊源，乔安妮的父母正是从俄罗斯移民而来的伏尔加德意志人之一。
乔安妮留下五个子女，包括劳拉·埃文斯-斯佩克特、雷切尔·布兰德、斯科特（格蕾丝）·约翰逊、蒂娜·约翰松-朗和蒂莫西（珍妮特）·约翰逊；孙辈苏珊、科特妮、德雷克、佐拉、万斯、凯莱布、卡梅伦、佐伊、妮娜、凯特琳、詹姆斯，以及
十一位曾孙辈。
在芝加哥X-ray Stencil Works公司的办公室工作后，她遇到了未来的丈夫埃尔兰德——一位木匠兼住宅建筑商。两人搬至德斯普兰斯，在那里抚养子女。1971年，他们购买并修缮了一栋百年老宅，位于偏远的乡村小镇黑恩斯维尔。当时该镇仅有150人，乔安妮常对朋友开玩笑说“人口统计还包括奶牛和鸡”。
约翰逊一家很快融入这个“（莱克县）最古老的建制村”。乔安妮曾短暂担任村庄财务官，并深度参与村庄历史研究。她和丈夫在自家宽敞的院子里举办年度村庄野餐，其中包括为孩子们准备的捞苹果游戏。随着美国建国二百周年庆典临近，乔安妮开始收集并采访长期居民，为她的著作《黑恩斯维尔往昔与今日》做准备。1976年初，该书由黑恩斯维尔建国二百周年委员会出版发行，如今仍可在村庄官网上查阅。
20世纪80年代，她在自家院子里改建的鸡舍中开设了“黑恩斯维尔的尼娜·贝尔”古董礼品店。她还积极参与当地教堂活动，组织了多场聚餐等活动。后来，她帮助表亲乔治·瓦尔科（一位系谱学家，现居肯塔基州）收集家族历史，乔治正在撰写三本关于伏尔加德意志人的书籍。乔治说：“乔安妮知识渊博，乐于分享。弗朗兹家族庞大，但她能记得每一个人。这太不可思议了。”
乔安妮生前唯一后悔的事是从未学过钢琴。“我奶奶非常有趣，她还是超级粉丝。”孙女妮娜·斯维奇（现居芒德莱恩）回忆道。实际上，乔安妮对猫王的崇拜到了极致，常说：“猫王在天堂与天使一起唱歌。总有一天我会见到他。”
尽管她深爱猫王，但真正挚爱的还是我们的主耶稣基督。她至死都是虔诚的信徒，每日诵读《圣经》，随身携带《圣经》在屋内走动。她能逐字背诵经文，并乐于为有需要的人祈祷。在私人葬礼上，乔安妮被安葬于格雷斯莱克的埃文墓地，与丈夫合葬。
以此纪念挚爱的亡者

问题：鉴于今年8月降水量有所增加，您认为今年冬天会是一个非常多雪的冬天吗？ 玛丽·Z. - 伊利诺伊州汉诺威公园
回答：我昨天刚看过一些长期冬季预测，所以很高兴收到这个问题！我们目前正进入一个强厄尔尼诺天气模式。这通常会在中西部地区表现为极地急流停留在更北的位置。这很重要，原因有二。1）它决定了美国南北冷暖空气的分界线，并控制冷空气爆发。2）它也是风暴路径的主要轨道。因此，我预计今年冬天会比过去几年更温暖、更干燥。或许会像23-24年那样，尽管仍有寒潮！

塔吉特下架“冒犯性”万圣节服装
撰文：卡森·哈特佐格、埃利奥特·休斯 《明尼苏达明星论坛报》
明尼阿波利斯——在社交媒体用户表示该服装类似于历史上用于贬低黑人的种族主义漫画形象后，塔吉特从其网站上下架了一款万圣节服装。
这场争议正值这家总部位于明尼阿波利斯的零售商显示出重新赢得顾客信心的迹象之际，包括在经历了一段困难时期后（部分原因是因其DEI政策退缩而引发抵制）最近销售额有所回升。
该服装隶属于塔吉特旗下的万圣节品牌Hyde and EEK! Boutique，这引发了人们对该产品如何通过公司产品审核流程的质疑。
这款原本面向儿童的服装整体设计类似于小丑服，带有橙黑相间的图案，但还包括一个面具，将大大的咧嘴笑覆盖在佩戴者脸上。此外还附带一顶小礼帽。
该服装在零售商网站上的模特照片显示为一名黑人儿童。这款服装及模特在照片中的姿势在网上被拿来与种族主义戏剧角色“吉姆·克劳”形象进行比较——后者是黑脸滑稽表演中的常见角色，贬低了黑人。
“作为一家公司，我们知道我们犯了错，对此深表歉意，”塔吉特一位发言人在声明中表示，“这款服装具有冒犯性，本不该出现在我们的产品组合中。我们知道这对我们的黑人顾客、团队成员和合作伙伴尤其伤害。”
该公司在声明中继续表示：“下架这款服装是重要的第一步，公司正在仔细审查此事发生的原因，以及需要做出哪些改变以确保此类事件不再发生。”
图潘·巴格奇，一位曾在塔吉特担任高管、现为独立顾问的前高管表示，他认为这种冒犯可能并非有意，公司对相关担忧的回应是恰当的。
“我想有些空间可以对这张图片进行解读，”他说，“如果它具有冒犯性，绝对应该下架。但我认为在某种程度上，这也可能是一个诚实的错误。”
然而，明尼苏达州的一些人并不认同这一观点。
舍莱塔·布伦迪奇，她自己的营销和媒体公司的首席执行官，表示模特的姿势、服装的设计以及批准该产品发布的人数表明，塔吉特的决定是有意为之。她呼吁当地企业在塔吉特雇用更多黑人高管或支持更多黑人企业之前，停止支持该公司。
“我们已经有过一位白宫总统。我们已经有过一位黑人美国司法部长。我们这个国家从奴隶制中解放出来后，已经取得了超出任何人想象的成就，而你们却想用这款万圣节服装将我们带回棉田？我绝不允许。”布伦迪奇说。
这不是塔吉特第一次

法官质疑医院业主为何未最终敲定和解协议
协议将令已关闭医院以1美元出售并要求首席执行官辞职

一位库克县法官于周二质疑一家韦斯和西郊医院业主为何尚未最终敲定一项和解协议，该协议将出售医院并要求其辞去首席执行官职务。
和解条款将令已关闭的医院以1美元出售给Insight Health Systems，并要求医院首席执行官兼其运营公司Resilience Healthcare的多数股东Manoj Prasad博士辞去CEO职务。
但持有医院产权的公司Ramco Healthcare Holdings声称，在5月29.与法官闭门会议中双方同意和解条款后，Resilience迟迟未能最终敲定和解协议。
Ramco于7月下旬提交动议，要求法官强制执行和解协议或指定接管人接管医院，称医院的未来——及其最终重新开业的能力——正处于关键时刻。
周二，库克县巡回法官Patrick Stanton对Resilience未能最终敲定和解协议的理由提出质疑。
“从未有人对我说过，‘协议在哪个关键点破裂了，’”Stanton周二在听证会上对律师们表示。他说所有证据都表明Resilience想要违背和解条款。
“有人改变了主意，”Stanton说，“……这是某个想要退出交易的人。”
Resilience的一名律师在法庭文件中辩称，Stanton不应强制执行和解协议，因为书面和解协议草案超出了5月29.商定的条款。Resilience的律师还在文件中辩称，Prasad“在同意和解条款的闭门会议当天遭遇了低血糖健康事件”。
当某人在谈判期间生病时，“这引发了事实问题，即该个人是否有能力充分理解复杂的交易条款，以及在此情况下给出的任何同意是否真正出于自愿且知情”，据Resilience提交的法庭文件所述。
法官周二对该辩称提出异议。Stanton指出，Prasad当天提到自己因未吃午餐感到不适，因此给了他一份酸奶和一块格兰诺拉麦片，而法官当天下午与他交谈数小时后再未听到其他相关情况。
Prasad当时身体不适以致无法同意和解条款的说法“令我感到意外，因为那天下午我与他交谈了数小时”，Stanton周二表示。
Resilience还辩称和解不应最终敲定，因为Insight尚未成为诉讼当事方，而Insight的角色是和解协议的一部分。然而Stanton表示，该协议不会约束Insight购买医院，而是概述若其提出要约时将发生的情况。
同样在周二，法官与另一家公司S&T Consulting and Management的律师讨论了S&T希望参与此案的意愿。S&T在法庭文件中表示，其曾运营西郊医院的急诊和精神健康部门，且在接管西郊和韦斯医院方面享有优先购买权。
Stanton周二还决定允许Prasad以个人身份参与此案，此前案件仅涉及其公司Resilience与Ramco。
下一次开庭日期定于9月11日。
社区领袖和前医院工作人员正密切关注该案件，同时继续敦促重新开放安全网医院。
韦斯特郊区在普拉萨德表示账单问题导致现金短缺后，于3月份关闭。普拉萨德约一年前关闭了位于上城区的韦斯，此前联邦政府表示该医院将不再被允许为服务项目向医疗保险（Medicare）报销，原因包括空调设备故障等一系列问题。
埃尔金“传奇”保罗家庭餐厅庆祝成立65周年

周五，埃尔金的一家“传奇”家庭餐厅被庆祝为当地的“传统机构”。
约75名亲友及当地政要齐聚保罗家庭餐厅（位于劳伦斯大道与麦克莱恩大道交汇处），庆祝其在埃尔金开业65周年。
“这是一家传统机构，”州参议员克里斯蒂娜·卡斯特罗在宣读伊利诺伊州参议院的贺词前表示，“当我们拥有保罗家庭餐厅这样的传统机构时，我们需要庆祝、珍惜并保护它。这就像回到家人身边一样。”
埃尔金市长戴维·卡普坦也使用了这一说法，他回忆起一位顾问曾告诉市议会成员，大多数餐厅仅能经营约两年，“如果能坚持五年，就算是传统机构了”。
“在本市经营65年并保持如此成功，简直难以置信，”他说道。
1961年，约翰·保罗和斯特拉·保罗在埃尔金迪维申街158号开设了餐厅的首个店面，当时名为道格拉斯咖啡馆。作为在美国相遇的希腊移民，他们用仅有的200美元购买了这家19座位餐厅首日的食材。
夫妇二人后来将餐厅迁至现址——劳伦斯大道1300号。他们的女儿伊莱恩·保罗在上世纪90年代中期接手餐厅，以延续家族事业，因为父母希望退休。
伊莱恩·保罗表示，与许多希腊移民一样，父母的“唯一目标”是让她“接受最好的教育”。她就读于西北大学，后毕业于法学院并在华盛顿特区工作。
“当他们决定退休并出售餐厅时，我是独生女，不忍心看到它落入他人之手，”伊莱恩·保罗说，“我原本以为只会经营几年，然后——”
斯特拉·保罗于2015年去世。伊莱恩·保罗说，她的父亲约翰现年97岁，“直到今年年初还身体健康”，甚至在2月独自出国旅行时才开始感到不适。他很快被诊断出患有I期结直肠癌。
“他现在还有好日子，但已经不多了，真的很难熬，”她说。
约翰·保罗原本希望出席周五的庆典，但刚从医院出院不久，身体状况不佳。
伊莱恩·保罗表示，自疫情以来生意一直很艰难，但她仍然坚持延续父母创造的传奇。
“这是一份充满爱的工作，”她说，“也是为了纪念我的父母，因为我一直为他们感到无比自豪。”
消费者信心降至7个月来最低点
美国人因汽油价格持续高于每加仑4美元而感到沮丧
前景进一步恶化
作者：马特·奥特 美联社
华盛顿 — 由于伊朗持续冲突继续推高美国汽油价格至每加仑4美元以上，美国人对经济的信心本月再次下滑。
会议委员会周二表示，其8月份消费者信心指数从7月的90.2降至89.4。
这是7个月来的最低水平，但基本上仍处于年初以来相对温和的区间内。2024年末至2025年初，该指数读数曾持续高于100。
受访者对当前状况的看法有所改善，但对短期
美国人在经历五年高通胀后仍对经济感到沮丧，这可能对距离中期选举不足70天的特朗普总统及共和党构成风险。
会议委员会调查中收集的8月3日至8月16日期间的自由回答反馈本月略显悲观。对物价的整体提及——特别是石油和汽油价格——仍处于高位。关于战争与地缘政治、食品价格、贸易和就业的评论在8月有所增加。
特朗普继续将高物价归咎于其前任民主党人乔·拜登，但自其去年就职以来，通胀率实际上有所上升。
美联储青睹的通胀衡量指标——个人消费支出价格指数——在6月同比上涨3.7%。这一涨幅低于5月的4.1%，但高于2月28日伊朗战争爆发前的2.8%。而在2025年1月特朗普就职时，该指数为2.5%。
政府将于周三发布7月PCE数据。
消费者对当前劳动力市场的看法在8月有所改善，27%的受访者表示就业机会“充足”，高于7月的24.4%。
然而，受访者对未来六个月的劳动力市场更为悲观，仅14.6%的人预期就业机会将增加，低于上月的16.4%。
美国就业市场在7月意外停滞，雇主减少了23,000个岗位。更糟糕的是，劳工部修正了此前报告的5月和6月就业数据，减少了103,000个岗位。
失业率降至4.1%，但原因并不乐观：数以千计的人退出了劳动力市场，减少了求职竞争。
紧急采收
香槟产区争分夺秒保护葡萄品质，创纪录提前采收
据新华社记者西尔维·科尔贝和尼古拉·加里加报道
法国奥维利耶——在极端高温和干旱加速葡萄成熟后，香槟产区迎来有记录以来最早的采收季。产区种植者面临一段狭窄的时间窗口，以保护该地区享誉全球的起泡酒的品质。
在被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的奥维利耶山坡上，采收团队于上午6:30开始在葡萄藤间工作。该葡萄园于2015年被认定为世界遗产。
对于戈比亚尔香槟酒庄（Gobillard & Fils）的生产总监亚历山大·戈比亚尔（Alexandre Gobillard）而言，8月中旬开始采收几乎是不可想象的。
“这是香槟产区的历史性时刻，”他说道，“我在庄园工作已有30年，当我刚开始工作时，父亲总会告诉我：‘8月15日去度假。’而今天是8月18日，我们正全面采收。我们从未见过这样的情况。”
现年50岁的戈比亚尔是家族第四代种植者。戈比亚尔香槟酒庄种植约100英亩葡萄藤，每年产出约150万瓶香槟酒。
今年香槟产区的官方采收期介于8月12日至8月17日之间，具体取决于区域和葡萄品种——较以往常见的时间提前约一个月。
戈比亚尔表示，3月下旬的霜冻在温和气温诱发早期发芽后袭击了葡萄藤，减少了潜在产量。随后又出现了四次热浪，这是前所未有的。
戈比亚尔称，烈日灼伤的葡萄部分变成棕色，这种情况他很少见到。他解释说，损失约10%的葡萄将意味着产量减少，而非影响葡萄酒的品质。
随着气温上升，香槟产区及法国其他葡萄酒产区的提前采收已越来越常见。在邻国意大利，极端高温也促使起泡酒生产商更早采收，甚至在夜间采摘葡萄。
香槟酒商联盟主席大卫·沙蒂永（David Chatillon）承认，今年的天气条件将导致产量明显下降。
“但这不仅仅是因为干旱，”他说道，“我们因春季霜冻损失了43%的潜在产量，干旱显然令产量下降的问题更加严重。”
沙蒂永表示，过去25年来，气候变化一直是该行业的焦点，促使业界投资研究和创新以适应不断变化的条件，包括培育更抗病且成熟期更晚的葡萄品种。
戈比亚尔目睹了家族几代人经历的这一转变。
“我的祖父那一代在开花后100天采收，我父亲那一代在90天采收，而今天我们缩短至80天，”他说道，“我们将不得不改变习惯。”
今年夏天的创纪录高温进一步压缩了葡萄成熟期。6月，香槟产区部分地区气温达到104华氏度（约40摄氏度）。
“葡萄藤需要水分才能存活，”戈比亚尔说，“水分从葡萄中被抽离以维持葡萄藤的生命，因此我们获得了更高的糖分浓度。这就是采收进程加快的原因。”
提前采收也给这个传统以手工采摘葡萄为主的地区带来了后勤挑战，部分工人仍在度暑假，其他人则面临交通延误。
Apple推出新款Mac mini
作者：马克·格尔曼 彭博新闻社
据知情人士透露，苹果公司正准备推出近两年来首次更新的Mac mini台式电脑新版本。
这些知情人士表示，新款台式机最快将于近日亮相，可能会将发布时间提前至9月的iPhone新品发布会之前。由于计划尚未公开，这些人士要求匿名。
此次升级紧随当前Mac mini需求激增之后，该产品已成为本地运行人工智能应用的热门工具。同时，内存芯片短缺使苹果难以保持该产品的充足库存。
苹果公司发言人拒绝置评。
这款更新机型是今年下半年一系列新产品中的一部分。本周晚些时候，苹果将发出iPhone发布会邀请函。该活动预计将于9月9日举行，届时将推出公司首款折叠屏智能手机以及iPhone 18 Pro系列。
苹果还在准备一系列新款Apple Watch，升级健身追踪功能，并为Series 12机型提供陶瓷机身选项。此外，最早可能于9月发布全新AirPods。
苹果今年还计划推出首款配备屏幕的智能家居设备。此外还将推出更多Mac电脑，但可能会稍晚一些。
苹果在研发中的最重要Mac产品将是其首款触摸屏电脑。
Mac mini可能将成为在首席执行官蒂姆·库克任期内发布的最后一款新产品。他于将接力棒交给约翰·特努斯。
近几个月来，Mac mini一直是苹果供应链的特别痛点，客户订单的交付需要数周或数月时间。库克表示，该问题需要一段时间才能解决，目前尚不清楚新机型将如何影响等待时间。
FTC与Zillow、Redfin就租赁房源达成和解
作者：亚历克斯·维加 美联社
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）已与Zillow和Redfin达成和解，解决监管机构对两家公司达成非法协议压制在线租赁广告竞争的指控。
FTC于周一表示，已向弗吉尼亚东区美国地区法院提交了一项拟议命令。该命令基本要求Redfin重启其独立的租赁房源业务，FTC称此举将恢复租赁房源市场的竞争。和解还解决了亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州、纽约州、弗吉尼亚州和华盛顿州总检察长提起的诉讼。
FTC在近一年前提起诉讼，指控Zillow向Redfin提供1亿美元及其他补偿，换取Redfin关闭其网络租赁业务，并专门转发Zillow的公寓房源，将客户迁移至Zillow，并在未来长达9年内退出公寓房源市场。
FTC认为，两家公司在2025年2月的协议违反了联邦反垄断法，可能削弱竞争激励，导致多户型租赁广告客户面临价格上涨和选择减少。Zillow和Redfin表示，其协议并未构成反竞争行为，且惠及租户和房产经理。
FTC的拟议命令要求Redfin在命令最终确定后6个月内重启租赁房源业务，并雇佣足够员工维持运营，否则将面临经济处罚。FTC表示，Redfin在与Zillow达成协议后不久即解雇了数百名员工。
根据FTC的说法，Redfin将继续转发Zillow的房源，但可自由发布非Zillow的房源广告。
巴西监管机构因未成年人安全问题向TikTok母公司开出罚单
圣保罗 — 巴西数据保护监管机构周二对TikTok母公司字节跳动处以近3000万美元罚款，原因是该公司在处理儿童和青少年个人数据方面存在违规行为。
监管机构在裁决中表示，TikTok在注册账户和游客浏览会话中均违反了数据隐私法，通过收集和处理未成年用户个人信息但缺乏合法依据或充分保障措施。
该公司可在10天内对裁决提起上诉，但未立即就监管机构的裁决发表评论。监管机构的裁决还包括要求TikTok删除所有非法收集的数据。
巴西监管机构同时表示，该公司应制定计划以加强对未成年人的保护。——美联社
台湾起诉非法向中国出口AI服务器案
台北 — 台湾检方周一对包括一名来自英伟达和两名来自超微公司的9人提起指控，罪名是非法向中国大陆出口“高端AI服务器”。
AI基础设施（包括大部分由台湾制造的先进半导体）已成为美中两国竞争的关键焦点。华盛顿自2022年起开始对英伟达向中国出口先进芯片实施限制。
根据台湾基隆地方检察署文件，根据出口管制规定，英伟达任何高端AI服务器销售（即为驱动AI系统的芯片提供硬件支持的基础设施）均需经过严格审查流程。检方表示，涉案服务器为图形处理单元“B300”，该产品已被禁止向中国销售。——美联社
澳大利亚音乐行业将禁止AI生成歌曲进入排行榜
墨尔本 — 澳大利亚唱片业协会（ARIA）代表周二表示，该国录制音乐行业将禁止完全由人工智能生成的歌曲进入官方排行榜，以应对新兴生成技术对艺术家生计造成的威胁。
此举正值一位澳大利亚制作人使用AI生成人声和鼓点制作的麦当娜热门歌曲《像祈祷一样》的改编版在澳大利亚排行榜前20位停留16周，引发关于生成式AI在音乐中地位的争议之际。
完全由AI生成的歌曲将从周一开始被禁止进入ARIA排行榜。只有满足“歌曲由人类创作并演唱主唱和主要乐器”等要求的作品方可入榜，ARIA在声明中表示。AI生成的音乐也将无法参评行业ARIA奖。——美联社
“BackBlack”行动：助力非营利组织筹款

纽约——本月，黑人非营利组织筹款者正转向自身社区寻求支持，在慈善事业日益集中于富裕阶层且部分主要资助方已降低对多元化资助优先级的背景下，强调普通捐赠者的力量。
据创始人弗洛伊德·琼斯介绍，“BackBlack”行动在过去三年间已为黑人主导的非营利组织筹集超过1,200万美元。该行动类似于“慈善星期二”（GivingTuesday）式的8月募捐活动，号召在线捐赠平台将资源集中于资金通常不足的黑人主导非营利组织。
琼斯表示，去年该行动吸引了超过130,000名独立捐赠者，其中大部分捐款金额低于100美元。
今年，组织者首次借力内容创作者，面向新受众：黑人Z世代群体。目标是向他们传递慈善事业也属于他们——而非仅属于历史上更富裕且以白人为主的慈善机构——这一理念。
“我们的人民一直在照顾我们的人民，”琼斯说，“我希望人们能感受到力量。”
该行动有望为规模较小的黑人主导组织带来助力。今年早些时候发布的一项研究显示，在2020年种族觉醒运动后，这些组织的资金并未出现显著变化。根据Candid与ABFE的分析，仅少数大型非营利组织在随后几年获得了临时资金增长。
“BackBlack”旨在将叙事从“赤字”转向“丰足”。琼斯受到马德姆·C.J.沃克的事迹鼓舞，后者是一位黑人美容企业家，被广泛认为是美国首位白手起家的女百万富翁。她曾支持黑人教育事业，如资助布克·T·华盛顿的塔斯基吉学院及美国基督教青年会的非裔分会，并在1919年去世前向NAACP的反私刑基金捐款。
但琼斯并不在乎捐赠者银行账户中是否有数百万资金。
“关键在于尽己所能。”他说。
“BackBlack”的合作创作者之一提到了“自由非洲人协会”。这家由理查德·艾伦和阿布萨隆·琼斯于1787年在费城创立的无教派组织，是美国最早的互助组织之一。
“我们一直以来都必须集资和整合资源来互相帮助。”现为前教师的欧内斯特·克里姆三世说。他为其118,000名Instagram关注者发布黑人历史视频。
但他补充道，盟友也必须参与其中——尤其是在“可能没有可持续市场或收入来持续捐赠”的社区。
克里姆呼吁关注者支持致力于青年就业议题的黑人非营利组织。其他参与页面则聚焦于提供体育资源、改善健康结果及捍卫民权的非营利组织。
“For Good”是一家慈善捐赠平台，可将超过20,000个捐赠者建议基金的资金转移至100多万个按邮政编码筛选的非营利组织，并为其提供高达6,000美元的捐款匹配。
琼斯表示，“GivingTuesday”管理“BackBlack”的数据。其他合作伙伴还包括在线筹款平台GiveButter、Every.org、Bonterra和Fundraise Up。
“For Good”为基于消费者的筹款活动（包括YouTube的筹款页面和巴塔哥尼亚的销售点捐赠）提供后端基础设施。该平台的创作者驱动捐赠策略源于其在YouTuber发起议题募捐方面的成功经验。
草根筹款活动正面临多重逆风，据"For Good"临时主席塔玛拉·马哈尔（Tamara Mahal）所言。财富集中化已令捐赠池中高净值个人的占比上升。但她同时表示，现如今有越来越多的方式可从基层自下而上进行本地捐赠。
她对"Back Black"运动为吸引更多小额捐赠者所做的努力表示欢迎，以避免非营利组织过度依赖任何单一捐赠人。
"事业本身就很重要。找到一家在你所在社区开展工作的非营利组织，"她说，"这实际上将帮助我们实现捐赠来源的多元化。"
野外探险指导公司因致命雪崩被罚款$151
作者：奥尔加·R·罗德里格斯 美联社
旧金山 — 加州职业安全官员对一家在2月份带领背景滑雪者下山时引发雪崩的指导公司处以罚款，该雪崩导致团队中9人死亡，成为该州现代史上最严重的雪崩事故。
加州职业安全与健康处（Cal / OSHA）对黑鸟山脉指导公司（Blackbird Mountain Guides）开出了$151,300的罚单，涉及其发现的7项违规行为。其中最大的一笔罚款为$81,000，原因是“在雪崩危险等级为高风险时，未纠正在雪崩地形中行进所构成的紧迫危险”。
黑鸟山脉指导公司表示已正式提起上诉，并认为其“完全符合”所有监管要求。加州职业安全与健康处调查局的一项单独调查正在进行中，该局负责审查工作场所死亡案件以确定是否存在刑事指控，该机构在周五的声明中表示。

在公众强烈反对后，零售商已从货架上撤下相关产品。
2024年2月，该零售商因一段广为传播的TikTok视频中一名历史教师演示该产品将布克·T·华盛顿、W.E.B.杜波依斯和卡特·G·伍德森的姓名与图像错配而从门店及网站下架了一款“黑人历史月”磁性学习活动产品。与万圣节服装不同，该产品由第三方制造商生产。
一年后，塔吉特缩减了其多样性、公平与包容倡议。
“县警长办公室发言人阿什利·夸德罗斯表示，执法官办公室已将其刑事调查结果转交地区检察官办公室，以审查是否可能提起刑事指控。”地区检察官办公室未立即回复置评请求。
这9名遇难者是由黑鸟山脉向导公司组织的15人背景滑雪团队的一部分，该团队前往加利福尼亚州内华达山脉弗罗格湖附近原始荒野进行为期三天的徒步旅行，当时一场强劲的冬季风暴正袭入该州。遇难者中有3名向导。
滑雪者们抵达位于塔霍湖国家森林海拔7,600英尺的偏远小屋，自行携带食物和补给。两天后，即2月17日，该团队试图下山时，卡斯尔峰附近发生雪崩，将他们困住。在搜救人员在暴风雪中奋战数小时后，6名滑雪者（包括1名向导）获救。
加州职业安全与健康管理局（Cal / OSHA）于8月12日开出罚单，指控该公司未能“在雪崩危险等级为高风险时纠正在雪崩地形中旅行的紧急危害”。
该决定引发了广泛抵制，最近由美国教师联合会重新发起，该组织表示该零售商在明尼苏达州“都市浪潮行动”中拒绝“挺身反对ICE”。
近几个月来，塔吉特公司已显现出好转迹象。上周，塔吉特报告称，5月至7月的可比销售额上涨3.8%，交易量也同比大致增长相同幅度。
塔吉特还在2023年因威胁和“冲突行为”在部分门店撤下部分骄傲月商品。
其他零售商也因公众反对和社交媒体抗议而撤下被批评为种族不敏感、歧视或冒犯的商品。H&M在2018年因在线广告中一名黑人儿童模特穿着印有“森林中最酷的猴子”字样的绿色连帽衫而遭到广泛抵制并被指控种族主义。
三年前，沃尔玛在2018年下架了一款儿童万圣节服装，该服装描绘了一名以色列士兵，其网站上将一种乳胶义鼻描述为“酋长法甘鼻”。

加拿大官员对美国予以回击

价值200亿加元美国商品遭加征关税 贸易战升级
作者：罗布·吉利斯 美联社
多伦多——加拿大周二对约200亿加元美国商品实施报复性关税，涵盖钢铁、乳制品、家电和农业设备等，作为两国昔日盟友间贸易战的急剧升级。
这场对抗威胁到全球最大贸易关系之一，并进一步恶化美国与长期视为最亲密盟友之一的国家间的关系。一旦争端持续，可能在距中期选举不到2个半月时令美国企业和消费者承担更高成本。
新关税远不止工业品，还涉及日常消费品，如海鲜、奶酪、服装、化妆品和卫生纸，部分商品关税高达50%。
“我们并未选择这场冲突，但当我们的经济一体化被用作武器而非互利合作基础时，我们必须站出来。”财政部长弗朗索瓦-菲利普·香槟用法语表示，称局势为“加拿大面临的前所未有的挑战”。
产业部长梅拉妮·乔利敦促加拿大人购买国货，称此举有助于保护就业并发起“抵抗运动”。
她表示，加拿大选择对部分美国产品征税是为了向特定州施加政治压力。加拿大官员在特朗普首个任期内曾采用类似策略，当时报复性关税针对肯塔基州威士忌、佛罗里达州橙汁和威斯康星州酸奶。
加拿大的报复措施是在特朗普政府周末对加拿大商品征收50%关税后采取的，此前贸易谈判破裂。加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多指责华盛顿试图使加拿大屈从，并称谈判失败期间美国的要求显示美方意图“摧毁我国主要产业”。
特朗普周一进一步升级对抗，要求加拿大领导人“服从”或面临“比现有关税更严重”的后果，并威胁对加拿大汽车、汽车零部件和钢铁征收新的50%关税。
特朗普周二再添挑衅，称美国正在“认真考虑”将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”，以与安大略省省长道格·福特争执。
在加拿大宣布关税措施前数小时，特朗普在社交媒体上大肆抨击该国，指责其“榨取”美国农民并将美国企业赶出市场。他写道：“我与许多国家打交道，加拿大是最难对付、最不合理的。他们觉得自己有资格，但他们不是美国的一个州，也不再有资格！”
由于最高法院今年2月驳回其最大规模关税措施，特朗普此次转而动用《大萧条时期贸易法》中一项鲜为人知的条款，该条款赋予其对歧视美国企业的国家进口商品征收高达50%关税的权力。此前从未有总统动用过该权力，因此这些关税在法庭上尚未经受检验。
关税将于9月8日生效，税率为15%、25%和50%，加拿大将对逾700种商品（如纸浆、纸张和电子产品）匹配相应美国关税税率。许多美国产品的关税将从25%翻倍至50%，新措施中最大份额将影响钢铁和铝制品。
加拿大官员表示，征税目标并非筹集收入，而是保护加拿大企业并减少美国进口。
例如，自加拿大对钢铁征收25%关税以来，美国钢铁进口已下降30%，加拿大官员预计新的50%税率将进一步削减进口。
加拿大对价值50%关税的商品包括部分钢铁和铝制品、家具及服装。乳制品（含奶酪）、鱼类及海鲜，以及某些钢铁和铝衍生产品将面临25%关税。现有加拿大对美汽车的反制关税将继续保留。
加拿大还宣布了一项价值54亿美元的支持计划，用于帮助受贸易争端影响的工人和企业。
加拿大官员承认，反制关税将提高部分企业和消费者的成本，但表示预计整体经济影响将保持温和。
他们表示，自2025年初以来，政府已提供超过217 亿美元 billion的关税相关支持——远超其收取的报复性关税总额——以缓解贸易争端带来的冲击。
加拿大与美国在汽车、能源、农业和制造业等领域拥有深度整合的供应链，使得长期贸易争端可能给两国边境地区的企业和工人带来高昂代价。
企业和消费者夹在中间，面临着价格可能上涨多少的不确定性。
密歇根州底特律市沃伦镇一家家具企业的老板迈克尔·霍华德二世表示，关税将阻碍“我们养家糊口的能力”，并影响“我们回馈社区的能力”。
霍华德和妻子十年前创办了这家企业。他们生产并销售从餐桌到书柜的各类家具。
他说：“说我们不需要加拿大，这太虚伪了。这是不诚实的，完全不符合事实。我们需要我们的邻居，但他们也需要我们。”
伊朗领导人不会屈服于美国制裁
但德黑兰经济受战争重创，加油站排起长龙
大卫·赖辛（美联社） 阿联酋迪拜——近几周来，随着美国加强封锁并威胁实施更严厉制裁，德黑兰各加油站外的排队现象愈演愈烈，有人甚至要等上两小时或更久才能加满油。
这种不确定性在周二进一步加剧，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特誓言要将伊朗彻底排除出全球经济体系。近日，伊朗官员也提及可能削减汽油重大补贴，以应对日益严峻的封锁。
“也许我们会面临燃料短缺，”34岁的理发师哈希姆·阿巴迪说，“每当油箱剩下一半左右时，我就会赶紧去加油站。”
美国最新措施旨在迫使伊朗在特朗普总统与以色列发动战争近六个月后做出让步。这场战争已重创伊朗经济，给普通民众带来日益加剧的痛苦。但迄今为止，尚无迹象表明伊朗领导人已屈服，或这些措施会重新点燃1月曾席卷全国的反政府抗议。
贝森特发表声明前，加油站排队现象早已因美国封锁和现有制裁引发的短缺而愈演愈烈。在通胀率达两位数且里亚尔汇率跌至历史低点的情况下，伊朗民众不仅在燃料上捉襟见肘。
“油价即将上涨，我尽可能多加油，”51岁的出租车司机马哈茂德·查沃希说，“从牛奶到意大利面，我上周买的所有东西都变得更贵了。”
银行门外并未出现类似排队现象，杂货店和药店货源充足，但顾客们抱怨购买力下降。战争期间通胀飙升，里亚尔汇率在贝森特发表声明前已跌至历史低点。
“我们的一些老顾客现在买东西，过后再付款，因为他们的口袋不如从前鼓了，”德黑兰一家杂货店老板莫尔特扎·达里亚尼说。
X，巴特曼格赫利季表示，数字资产和黄金是伊朗人保护储蓄的方式，科技让他们与世界保持联系，航空让他们能够出行，而航运则是食品和药品抵达伊朗的渠道。
目前，最有效的经济压力来自海上封锁。
但上周阿拉伯联合酋长国宣布切断与伊朗的所有贸易和金融往来，若该国言出必行，可能会产生长期影响，巴林国际战略研究所中东办事处分析师萨莎·布鲁赫曼表示。
本周一威胁将对与伊朗开展业务的国家实施次级美国制裁的贝森特暗示，正是华盛顿方面的压力促使阿联酋做出这一决定。
“他们上周采取的行动并非偶然，而是可能存在因果关系，我预计随着我们继续参与其中，会看到一大批国家采取类似行动，”他说道。
伊朗正通过关闭霍尔木兹海峡施压，该海峡承载着全球20%的石油和天然气运输。伊朗押注此举对美国中期选举前的汽油价格产生影响，将迫使特朗普让步。
法官驳回麦克斯韦尔“司法不公”申诉及释放请求
作者：迈克尔·R·西萨克、拉里·纽迈斯特 美联社
纽约——联邦法官保罗·A·恩格尔迈尔周二驳回了格希莱恩·麦克斯韦尔推翻其性交易罪定罪并从监狱获释的请求，称这位杰弗里·爱泼斯坦前女友及长期合伙人所称的“新证据”均为“明显无价值的主张”。
麦克斯韦尔去年12月提交人身保护令申请，试图推翻定罪并摆脱20年监禁判决，她声称有利证据被隐瞒、审判中出现虚假证词，导致“彻底的司法不公”。
法官保罗·A·恩格尔迈尔驳回其所有或几乎所有论点，并在书面裁决中表示这些主张“全属无稽”，且她未能提供任何足以颠覆审判结果的证据。
已向麦克斯韦尔昔日辩护律师发送置评请求。人身保护令申请通常作为最后手段提出，用于在上诉穷尽后防止非法羁押，正如麦克斯韦尔定罪量刑后所为。
爱泼斯坦，一名百万富翁金融家，于2019年7月因性交易指控被逮捕。
在庭审前被命令羁押的他于2019年8月在纽约联邦监狱囚室内死亡，其死因被裁定为自杀。
麦克斯韦尔，一名英国社交名媛，于一年后被逮捕并在2021年12月被判性交易罪成立。
去年，她被从佛罗里达监狱转移至德克萨斯一所监狱营地，不久之后接受了司法部时任二把手、现任美国司法部长的托德·布兰奇的采访。
法官指出，麦克斯韦尔所称“新证据”中的许多内容均源于《爱泼斯坦文件透明法》下公开的文件。
该法律实施后，司法部在过去8个月内已公开18类性交易调查收集的材料，包括搜查令、财务记录、受害者访谈笔记及电子设备数据。
恩格尔迈尔表示，这些材料“大多与针对麦克斯韦尔的指控无关，且无法支持其错误主张”。
法官还驳回了麦克斯韦尔关于“选择性起诉”的主张，她声称在司法部未起诉政府文件中提及的四名共谋者或与受害者和解的25名男性时，她被当作“替罪羊”。
投票规则裁决或引发“混乱”
大法官批准特朗普邮寄投票令令批评者困惑
（美联社）尼古拉斯·里卡迪
美国最高法院批准总统唐纳德·特朗普限制邮寄投票令的初步决定，可能不会导致11月中期选举期间任何选举程序发生变化，但已令近三分之一美国人使用的投票方式陷入不确定性。
最高法院并未裁定特朗普令合法，而是于周一表示民主党主政州在6月试图说服波士顿联邦法官冻结该令以用于11月选举时，为时过早。此举实际上重启了在极其紧迫的时间线下对该令的法律争议——首批选票将在一周多后的9月4日寄往北卡罗来纳州的海外及军人选民。
另一项禁止美国邮政署为配合特朗普指令进行改革的禁令仍然有效。尽管如此，特朗普政府周一晚些时候提交动议，要求解除第二项禁令。
该新规要求邮寄选票信封需采用特定格式——可能迫使部分司法管辖区完全修改其设计——并要求各州使用电子系统向邮政署确认谁在通过邮寄投票。
若各州不遵守该规则，其邮寄选票将无法寄出。
美国地区法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼周二裁定，政府在制定该规则时违反了她对特朗普令的禁令，但她在考虑是否完全解除冻结时拒绝对政府进行制裁。
如此大规模改革在短短数日内实施的可能性令批评者震惊。
在她的异议意见中，大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊警告称，该裁决“毫无必要地为即将到来的中期选举注入混乱和不确定性”。
选举创新与研究中心执行主任大卫·贝克尔对此表示赞同，称多数意见“似乎在中期选举前制造了彻底的混乱”，并表示各州“根本不可能”在这么晚的日期内遵守新规。
加州优洛县登记官、该州选举官员协会主席杰西·萨利纳斯指出，其所在州的选票将在11天后开始寄出，且其县已印制了信封。
“看看时间线，确实有些混乱，”萨利纳斯表示，并指出他尚不清楚哪种信封设计符合新规。
选举中心（一个拥有2,500名选举官员的协会）首席项目官员塔米·帕特里克警告称，任何州都不可能遵守该规则，且她接触过的所有人都未尝试过。
帕特里克表示：“没有一个州的选举方式符合邮政规则的要求。一直以来都有这种假设，即此事不会发生，因为根本无法按其要求实施，因为没有任何州会这样做。”
内华达州民主党籍州务卿西斯科·阿吉拉尔指出，其州6月初选期间邮政部门已误投了三十六张邮寄选票。
“他们将在7天内建立一个准确率达100%的庞大数据库？”阿吉拉尔难以置信地表示，“在如此短的时间内实施这一系统是不可能的。”
特朗普长期以来试图让邮寄投票变得几乎不可能，尽管他本人曾多次通过邮寄投票投出自己的选票。
特朗普曾在2020年败选后错误指责邮寄投票，并编造复杂的阴谋论试图证明其主张，这些理论在其回任总统后仍在推进。
去年，法官曾阻止他通过行政令制定新的投票限制，而他在参议院民主党反对下，其修订投票程序的法案陷入停滞后，才发布了最新行政令。
选举援助委员会发现，2024年有29%的选民通过邮寄方式投出了选票。
民主党人比共和党人更倾向于使用邮寄投票，这反映出自特朗普在2020年开始攻击邮寄投票以来，该流程已沦为政治极化的对象。
法律专家表示，特朗普的行政令不太可能得到实施。
不仅最高法院在其未签名裁决中指出尚未确定该措施是否合宪，而且政府迄今为止赢得的每一场胜利，仅因其主张现在讨论其合宪性为时尚早。
反对者已在酝酿新的诉讼。
曾与司法部律师合著一书揭穿特朗普2020年选举谎言的贝克尔补充道，他预计下一轮诉讼将阻止该行政令在11月得以实施。
圣母大学法学教授德里克·穆勒表示，最高法院确保了未来数日将爆发一场充满争议的法庭大战。
穆勒说：“这将法院置于一个糟糕的境地，因为无论结果如何都将极其接近选举。如果允许实施，将给各州造成极大混乱；如果暂停实施，又会明显激怒政府。”
帕特里克表示，选举办公室的工作人员如今感到无所适从。
帕特里克说：“选举官员此刻感觉自己像是出气筒，因为他们原本计划以一种方式组织选举，并制定了应急预案——万一发生火灾或某处断电。但面对可能影响三分之一、一半甚至全部选民的情况，又该如何应对？”
海军水手之父从美国移民拘留中获释
据家人透露，一名在美国海军中东地区执行创纪录9个月任务的水手之父，已从移民拘留中获释。
其被捕引发强烈反对，此前美联社报道称，当其父被拘留时，其子正在"林肯"号航母上服役并进入第9个月。该航母创造了美国军舰连续出海时间最长的纪录，并引发了对补给短缺和士兵心理健康恶化的担忧。
路易斯·曼努埃尔·阿维莱斯（Luis Manuel Aviles，48岁）据其妻子阿盖利亚·阿维莱斯（Argelia Aviles）称，于周六在离家送车去修理时被捕。她表示，丈夫是佛罗里达州基韦斯特的一名杂工，持有在美国工作的许可。阿维莱斯原籍尼加拉瓜，在美国生活了19年。
阿维莱斯的被捕是特朗普政府强硬移民政策下，现役美国士兵直系亲属被捕的最新案例之一。近期民选官员启动对国土安全部做法的国会调查。
阿维莱斯之子约书亚·阿维莱斯（Joshua Aviles）周二在Facebook上发帖称其父已从联邦移民拘留中获释。据司法部记录，路易斯·曼努埃尔·阿维莱斯周一被关入迈阿密移民拘留中心仅数小时后，一名移民法官即驳回了对其案件的指控。
国土安全部未在周一或周二就路易斯·曼努埃尔·阿维莱斯被捕及随后获释的原因作出即时回应。
为军人家庭提供移民法律服务的律师玛格丽特·斯托克（Margaret Stock）称，指控被快速提起又撤销的情况"极不寻常"。
约书亚·阿维莱斯周六在Facebook帖子中表示，自"林肯"号11月离开美国领土以来，他已连续12小时工作无休。美国海军确认阿维莱斯已入伍，在"林肯"号服役，其体力要求高的职责包括在舰上移动飞机。
该舰正在被另一艘舰接替，以便返回美国。
麻疹死亡：两名未接种麻疹疫苗的宾夕法尼亚州居民在感染麻疹后死亡，这是今年美国首次出现与这种传染性病毒相关的死亡病例。州卫生官员周二宣布了这两起死亡病例，但未透露除居住在费城以西的兰开斯特县外的任何细节。
"我对逝者家属面临的无法想象的损失深表同情，"州卫生部长德布拉·博根（Dr. Debra Bogen）表示，"由于麻疹在宾夕法尼亚州已基本消除超过30年，人们对这种疾病不熟悉，也未充分了解其潜在严重性。"
美国今年已出现5例麻疹相关死亡，超过过去30年报告死亡病例的总和，且是自1991年以来麻疹疫情最严重的一年。
据美国疾病控制与预防中心数据，截至周四，今年已报告2,777例麻疹病例，已超过2025年全年麻疹病例总数。
11月，国际卫生官员将召开会议，以确定美国和墨西哥是否已失去无麻疹状态。美国于2000年通过维持高疫苗接种率消除了本地麻疹传播，但近年来接种率已降至预防疫情暴发所需的95%覆盖率以下。
人们周二清理法国波马镇一栋受损房屋的残骸，此前该镇周一遭龙卷风袭击。该村庄约有1,000名居民，目前尚无人员失踪报告。据当地政府称，39人受伤，300户家庭受影响。
得克萨斯州野火：一场在数小时内迅速扩大的野火在得克萨斯州农村地区大片牧场上肆虐，摧毁多处建筑，迫使当地周二进行疏散并关闭学校。
这场大火于周一下午早些时候开始，在得克萨斯州中北部两个人口稀少县的区域内不到一天时间内烧毁了超过78平方英里的土地。当地居民表示，伴随着强劲的风力以及极度炎热和干燥的条件，大火跨越溪流和河流，蔓延开来。
帕洛平托县应急服务区的官员报告称，危险的火灾条件使得火势蔓延速度远超任何人的想象。
近日，随着极度干燥的条件持续，野火在美国南部和西部地区频频出现。国家跨机构消防中心表示，仅周日就报告了十几起新的大型火灾。
全国范围内，今年以来已发生超过50,000起野火，这是过去10年同期内最多的一次，据该中心统计。
墨西卡利旅行警报：美国政府针对计划前往墨西哥北部墨西卡利的美国公民发布旅行警报，并因“潜在威胁”暂时中止该边境城市的领事服务活动，但未提供具体细节。
周一晚间发布的通知称，由于存在“潜在威胁”的信息，美国与墨西哥城市卡莱克西科隔河相望的下加利福尼亚州首府的领事服务活动及旅行被暂停。
美国未提供有关威胁的具体信息或针对对象，仅敦促其公民避开政府建筑，如遇事件发生应寻求庇护并保持对周围环境的警惕。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆周二表示，“有警报显示可能存在犯罪团伙”，并补充称该报告基于美国机构提供的信息。
海地武装袭击：联合国周二表示，本周早些时候，武装分子袭击了海地首都附近一个曾经和平的社区，造成至少47人死亡，另有50多人被绑架。
据信这是近年来海地发生的规模最大的群体绑架案之一，一名匪徒头目威胁称，如果当局在试图控制位于太子港山区的社区时杀死任何匪徒成员，他们将杀害人质。
周日对肯斯科夫的袭击动摇了外界对这个饱受困扰的加勒比国家安全状况正在改善的信念。
“这是对政府、警方和国际任务的一项重大政治和安全考验。”打击跨国有组织犯罪全球倡议组织海地观察站负责人罗曼·勒库尔表示。
普京法令：俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京颁布法令，若私营业主未能保护其关键基础设施免受乌克兰无人机袭击或在袭击后未能重建，国家可临时接管这些设施。此举是在乌克兰持续数月对俄罗斯炼油厂和电商枢纽发动袭击，引发全国性中断后，俄罗斯面临日益加剧的经济压力和公众不满之际出台的。
乌克兰也正在承受无情的空袭，这些袭击在入侵进入第五年时严重损坏了其电网，并严重破坏了住宅。
谢莉·法巴雷斯 1944-2026
《“小天使”约翰尼》歌手兼演员谢莉·法芭蕾职业生涯跨越数十年
《纽约时报》报道
谢莉·法芭蕾（Shelley Fabares）是一位资深电视演员，其演艺生涯跨越数十年，曾在《唐娜·里德秀》《每日一事》《教练》等剧集中担任重要角色。她于周六在洛杉矶去世，享年82岁。
其丈夫、演员迈克·法雷尔在社交媒体上宣布了她的死讯，但未说明具体原因。
法芭蕾的角色随着时间推移从儿童演变为活泼少女，再到埃尔维斯·普雷斯利的爱情对象，最终成为职业女性。她还曾录制过一首冠军单曲《小天使约翰尼》。
在成名前，她曾作为童星模特，并参演过多部电视剧和电影。1958年，她在家庭情景喜剧《唐娜·里德秀》中出演唐娜乐观开朗的少女女儿玛丽，自此获得突破性角色。

剧组对她而言如同家人，她后来表示：“唐娜真的像我的第二个母亲。”在谈及电视弟弟保罗·彼得森时，她说：“我们总像亲兄妹一样争吵。We fought like brother and sister all the time.”
法芭蕾称，在《唐娜·里德秀》停播后的多年里，她、里德、彼得森和她的电视父亲卡尔·贝茨每月都会聚会。
受《奥兹和哈丽特》主演里奇·尼尔森演唱事业的启发，《唐娜·里德秀》制作方决定让法芭蕾尝试类似的音乐路线，推出歌曲《小天使约翰尼》。但她并不认为自己是歌手。
“时至今日，我仍能感受到胃里的疼痛，”她在2024年接受Cryptic Rock网站采访时回忆录音现场时说，“我当时想：‘我做不到。等我开始唱歌，这些音乐家就会起身离开房间。’”
她还在剧中演唱了这首歌。凭借此次亮相，《小天使约翰尼》于1962年登顶排行榜。
在歌曲中，她倾诉对约翰尼的思念：“‘因为我爱他，我祈祷有一天他也会爱我’——但‘他甚至不知道我的存在’。”
1963年，她开始寻求其他演艺机会。她在《唐娜·里德秀》中的角色离家上大学，但她继续不定期出演该剧，直至1966年剧终。
她在20世纪60年代中期成为埃尔维斯·普雷斯利电影的常客，先后出演《欢乐女孩》（1965年，她饰演埃尔维斯的对象）、《旋转出轨》（1966年，埃尔维斯饰演单身赛车手）、《海滩狂欢》（1967年，她再次饰演埃尔维斯的对象）。
她表示，在拍摄这些电影前，她对吉米·斯图尔特更有好感。然而，首次在片场见到普雷斯利时，她的印象难以磨灭。她在2013年接受《澳大利亚埃尔维斯》采访时说：“他什么也没做，只是走了进来。这个男人的气场如此强大，你无法开口说话。大家都静止了，只是停下来观看他。”
谢莉·法芭蕾于1944年1月19日出生于加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡，父亲詹姆斯·法芭蕾在银行工作，母亲埃尔莎·艾勒是一家抵押贷款公司的副总裁。她的姑姑是演员南内特·法布雷。
在结束埃尔维斯电影的拍摄后，她回归电视荧屏，在备受赞誉的电视电影《布赖恩之歌》中饰演命运多舛的橄榄球明星布赖恩·皮卡索（詹姆斯·卡安饰）的妻子，并客串出演多部剧集。
在20世纪70年代和80年代，她在《每日一事》中成为固定演员，饰演与邦妮·富兰克林（Bonnie Franklin饰）扮演的单身母亲角色安·罗曼诺既是工作对手又是生意伙伴的角色。（法布雷则在剧中饰演罗曼诺的母亲。）
在20世纪90年代的情景喜剧《教练》中，她再次为新一代观众带来欢乐，饰演一位电视主播——可爱独立的女友，后成为海登·福克斯（克雷格·T·尼尔森饰）的妻子。
法芭蕾与音乐及电影制片人卢·阿德勒的婚姻以离婚告终。
1984年，她与法雷尔结婚，后者因在电视剧《M*A*S*H》中饰演B.J.·亨尼卡特而闻名。
法雷尔与她的两个继子埃琳和迈克尔·法雷尔目前仍在世。
她于2000年接受了肝脏移植手术，几年后便逐渐淡出了演艺事业。
她曾积极参与美国演员工会（SAG）的活动，担任其董事会成员，并参与制作了从2003年到2018年的美国演员工会奖（SAG Awards）。
中国快速采用AI就业

多个行业裁员令工人忧虑未来
陈浩谦、傅婷 / 美联社
香港——计算机程序员费兆军的老板曾问他，人工智能是否很快会取代编程工作。两周后，他和约160名同事一起被北京的公司解雇。
随着人工智能在政府政策支持下重塑中国庞大的就业市场，这种情况日益常见。一些经济学家认为，这可能最终削弱全球第二大经济体的整体实力。
从程序员到编剧、体力劳动等多个领域，人工智能的快速应用正在推动人们失业或令其担忧未来。中国在AI采用方面处于领行地位，政府政策鼓励个人和企业在生活各方面使用AI应用和机器人技术，因此费兆军等人正在寻找适应之道。
"在中国，反AI情绪似乎远低于其他地区。大多数人要么持积极态度，要么持中立态度，要么只是略感兴趣。"总部位于北京的咨询与研究公司Plenum的高级分析师何淑静表示。
"那些担心被取代的人，以及已经离开传统工作岗位的人，往往渴望尝试AI赋能的创业和独立项目。这种参与热情令人印象深刻。"她说。
直到最近，费兆军还怀疑AI能否完美完成编程工作，尽管老板认为AI已接近这一水平。
"中层程序员的工作在大多数情况下基本上可以被取代。"现年40岁的费兆军说，"即使这会导致所有人被取代的灾难，在当前阶段，你也只能像其他人一样使用它。"
现在他正在制作类似Vlog的短视频，同时思考下一步该做什么。他并未靠这些视频谋生——这些视频内容是关于普通人的生活——但他希望它们能帮到他人。
杜沁春是一名兼职翻译，一直在帮助训练AI模型进行翻译。这至少暂时为他带来了更多工作。
"但行业的薪酬确实比几年前减少了一半以上。"常驻中国西南城市成都的杜沁春说。
这一趋势如此明显，以至于随着AI翻译工具的普及，热门的外语大学课程越来越不受欢迎。
根据市场调研公司IDC的数据，去年表示使用AI模型和"代理"的中国工业企业比例从2024年的9.6%跃升至47.5%。
"中国充满活力的开源模型生态系统促进了工业领域AI应用创新，逐步缩小基础模型能力与现实企业价值创造之间的差距。"IDC北京办事处高级研究经理杜彦泽表示。
例如，人形机器人现在能够在邮政中心分拣包裹（尽管仍处于小规模阶段），并正在推动更多人类任务的边界，如指挥交通和制作咖啡。送餐机器人也在全国范围内站稳脚跟，可能威胁到数百万送餐工人的生计。
生成式AI在中国的短剧行业中越来越多地用于创作、生产和分发。据中国媒体报道，今年第一季度，为手机设计的真人短剧和竖屏视频剧集数量同比下降约75%。
Tasks that once required specialized training can now be performed by almost anyone with access to AI tools. This is particularly evident in software development and multimedia creation,” said Plenum’s He. “As a result, workers whose roles are narrowly concentrated in these areas may face greater displacement risk.”
A report from International Labor Organization, meanwhile, found that women face higher risks of losing employment due to use of AI than men, as they tend to work in areas more suitable for automation, such as assembling electronics, and remain underrepresented in science and technology.
Under China's "AI Plus" initiative and its five-year plan through 2030, the government is pushing to infuse AI across many industries, aiming to gain an edge in China's technology rivalry with the United States.
“What is specific to China is that the government is really into diffusing AI across the economy, so AI may get into different domains more quickly comparing to other countries,” said Zilan Qian, a research associate at Oxford China Policy Lab.
China's economic growth has already been slowing. Consumer spending has lagged partly due to people becoming reluctant to spend because they're worried about losing their jobs. It's added to problems stemming from a prolonged downturn in the housing market that has undermined household wealth.
China's tech industries may be innovative with high productivity, but they may not generate many new jobs, said Eswar Prasad, a professor of economics and trade policy at Cornell University.
“AI is likely to lift productivity across the board but could have a severe disruptive effect on employment, worsening the employment growth problem and resulting in a detrimental effect on social stability," he said.
Similar to their U.S. rivals, Chinese tech giants have cut or restructured tens of thousands of jobs, partly due to AI. The outlook for the broader jobs market remains uncertain: China's overall urban unemployment rate hovers around 5%, but unemployment for people ages 16 to 24, excluding students, is roughly triple that.
That said, in the longer run, some experts say unemployment rates could fall, since China's population of 14 亿美元 is rapidly aging and shrinking.
By 2050, China is projected to have fewer than two working-age adults to support each retiree, compared with more than 2.5 in the U.S., said Xuenan Cao, a professor at San Francisco Bay University whose focus includes technology and society. “Automation could partially offset a shrinking workforce rather than being purely a threat to it,” Cao said.
Wang Zhicheng, 32, often used AI for brainstorming and fact-checking in his previous job as a scriptwriter for a company that produces 3D animated educational videos and interactive exercises for children.
After its parent company laid off roughly half of its 13 script writers, he chose to resign and work independently, making illustrated children's books.
While AI sometimes saved time, the scripts it generated often felt strange, Wang said. Episodes tended to be repetitive and formulaic, and the level of detail devoted to knowledge varied widely.
“You can treat AI as a tool just like (Microsoft) Word,” said Wang, who has started his own studio making picture books and other creative works. “Humans are still the decision-makers on which one to pick or pursue among all that AI generates.”
FBI设定原住民部落未破案件最低悬赏金额为$25,000
作者：莎拉·拉扎 美联社
南达科他州苏福尔斯——联邦调查局已为原住民部落地区失踪或被杀案件设定最低$25,000悬赏金额，作为应对影响原住民社区高犯罪率的更广泛努力的一部分。
新的最低金额适用于部落社区50多起未破命案和失踪案件。美联社分析发现，大多数案件发生在10年内，但仍有十余起案件已超过20年未破。
受害者家属和专家对更高金额是否足以促使举报者站出来表示怀疑，他们指出民众对联邦政府的恐惧和不信任。
“奥格拉拉地区的每个人都感到害怕，”丽莎·卡尔洛表示。她的父亲帕特里克·卡尔洛 Sr.于2023年在其松岭保留地家中被发现死亡。“所以在我看来，好吧，你们知道什么但不愿说出来？”
FBI调查近200个美洲原住民保留地的联邦犯罪，同时与美国印第安事务局合作。截至2025年底，FBI的国家犯罪信息中心记录了近1,500起活跃的美洲原住民失踪案件，但并非所有案件都成为联邦案件。
FBI在近期声明中援引了几起案件，包括8岁的马利卡·布恩（据称可能在纳瓦霍国被车辆撞击）和亚利桑那州卡洛斯·阿帕奇部落少女艾米丽·派克（其尸体在其从寄养家庭失踪后被发现）。
玛丽·凯瑟琳·内格尔是俄克拉何马州切诺基部落公民及为失踪原住民家庭代理的律师，她表示联邦调查人员经常“突然介入”调查紧密社区的犯罪案件，目击者可能因不信任和报复恐惧而保持沉默。
尽管如此，她表示，更高的悬赏金额可能为人们提供动力并向家属表明其亲人案件正被认真对待。
“在原住民部落地区，有人知道我们亲属发生了什么，”她说。
卢安娜·罗斯是比特鲁特-萨利希人，同时也是华盛顿大学“原住民之声”项目联合主任，她表示现金悬赏可能提高关注度，但通常不会兑现。
“在我看来，在保留地社区，人们极不情愿将朋友或亲属交给一个未曾善待他们的司法系统，”她说。
丽莎·福斯特的长期好友莫娜·勒妮·瓦洛于2022年在新墨西哥州拉古纳普韦布洛沿历史66号公路疑似遭遇肇事逃逸后被发现死亡。福斯特希望更高的悬赏金额能重新引起对该案的关注。
福斯特形容瓦洛是个积极开朗的朋友，无论何时都能找到乐趣。她是雅基马部落联盟的成员。
“有人知道那里发生了什么。他们必须知道。我是说，她去上班，然后突然发生了这种事，太奇怪了。”
卡尔洛案件的悬赏金额已于7月提高至$25,000，此前为$10,000。
与此同时，FBI拒绝向美联社提供该案的最新进展。
ICE在7月逮捕近5万人，创特朗普第二任期单月最高纪录

华盛顿消息——据加州大学伯克利分校“驱逐数据项目”获得的政府数据并经美联社分析，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）在7月期间逮捕了近5万人，这一单月逮捕总数创特朗普第二任期内新高。
逮捕人数的激增表明，尽管今年早些时候该政府从在大城市开展引发公众强烈抗议的高调行动转变为更低调的执法方式，但其大规模驱逐移民的政策仍在推进。ICE在明尼苏达州加强执法后，7月的逮捕人数为49,571人，较前一个月的43,021人增长15%，较2月的29,241人增长70%。
在最近几周激增的逮捕数字中，ICE官员已在路检中实施逮捕。
他们越来越多地依赖州和地方执法合作伙伴，这些合作伙伴正在承担移民执法职责。
同时，他们开始逮捕那些此前享有避免驱逐保护的海地移民，这些保护已被剥夺。
新的逮捕数据显示，该政府“并未停止执法”，移民研究中心的马克·克里科里安表示，该中心倡导更严格的移民限制政策。
“他们改变了策略，如果有什么不同的话，反而变得更加有效。”
特朗普上任前一个月的移民逮捕人数略高于8,000人，这一数字主要由从城市或州监狱移交给ICE的移民构成，以便将其驱逐出境。
在特朗普上任第一年，随着政府放宽ICE可逮捕对象和地点的限制，同时向该机构注入数十亿美元资金，逮捕人数开始上升。据通过《信息自由法》诉讼获得的数据显示，到去年12月，逮捕人数已增至40,177人以上。
今年1月，明尼苏达州发生两起致命枪击事件，引发抗议并招致民主党议员的强烈谴责，逮捕人数在2月开始下降。在接下来的几个月里，数字停滞不前，但在6月激增。
得克萨斯州和佛罗里达州在7月的逮捕人数中占近20,000人，凸显这两个州对特朗普政府大规模驱逐移民议程的重要性。这两个州均大力推进与ICE的287(g)合作协议，允许地方和州执法机构实质上作为联邦移民执法的延伸。
今年早些时候在任命听证会上，国土安全部长马克韦恩·马林承诺将ICE的行动“低调”进行，并暗示政府的移民打击行动可能采取更温和的方式。
但其任期却因ICE官员在与移民接触中发生多起致命枪击事件而蒙上阴影。这些数据显示，马林并未使该机构偏离唐纳德·特朗普总统的大规模驱逐愿景。
在马林的前任克里斯蒂·诺姆任内，移民执法常以针对民主党控制城市的高调行动为特征，包括芝加哥、洛杉矶和明尼阿波利斯。这些行动通过社交媒体视频广为传播，视频中显示执法人员从行驶的面包车中冲出追捕目标，或从直升机上滑降至公寓楼顶。
但克里科里安表示，这些策略“激起了许多普通民众的反感，即使他们赞成执行移民法，也因此却步”。
Utahlozanos记者帕特丽夏·奎尼奥内斯表示，近几个月来，在交通执法过程中逮捕移民的案件急剧增加。
奎尼奥内斯称，持有效工作许可证且正在申请庇护的人也在被捕之列。
白宫玫瑰园改造仍在进行

特朗普在白宫区域增设美国开国元勋雕像
达琳·苏珀维尔 文 美联社
华盛顿——与其增添新玫瑰，唐纳德·特朗普总统的白宫玫瑰园正在增设雕像。
特朗普在将玫瑰园原本柔软的草坪替换为白色石板露台后，在紧邻椭圆形办公室的玫瑰园内增设了数尊美国开国元勋雕像。此举令这处历史悠久的户外空间变得与其位于佛罗里达州棕榈滩的私人会所马阿拉歌庄园内的同名花园相似。
至少有一尊雕像是他人赠送的礼物。其他雕像则是从希望保持匿名的人士处借来的。
最新增设的一尊青铜雕像，描绘的是坐姿的托马斯·杰斐逊正在签署《独立宣言》，这是科罗拉多州洛夫兰市雕塑家乔治·伦丁的赠品。该雕像与已在此展示的乔治·华盛顿、亚历山大·汉密尔顿和本杰明·富兰克林雕像为伍。第五尊名为《自由的号召》（Freedom's Charge）的雕像也已摆放在露台上。
这些雕像是特朗普大规模白宫翻新计划的一部分，从其对椭圆形办公室的镀金改造，到正在南侧场地兴建的宴会厅和直升机停机坪。这些项目契合特朗普更宏大的计划——通过其他建设项目在华盛顿市中心留下其印记，包括在国家广场附近联邦土地上建造一座雕像园。
伦丁表示，他于数十年前创作了这尊杰斐逊雕像，并将其保存在自家庄园，直至决定对其进行修缮并送至特朗普处，以便在7月4日美国250周年庆典期间展示。
伦丁的友人兼合作者史蒂文·巴伯曾代表其联系白宫相关人士。
“在250周年之际，让人们能够看到托马斯·杰斐逊正在起草《独立宣言》的样子，我认为这会是一件非常美好的事。”伦丁在电话采访中表示。
但该雕像未能及时运抵白宫。
巴伯表示，雕像一度因庆典活动周边的严密安保措施而滞留在卡车上。特朗普在看到照片后对雕像赞赏有加，决定将其摆放在玫瑰园内。
当总统致电伦丁致谢时，对方未接听。节日过后，伦丁的办公室经理坚持让他收听一条特别留言。
“乔治你好，我是你最喜欢的总统唐纳德·特朗普，我只是想感谢你。”总统在录音中说道，伦丁已将其分享给美联社。“这尊雕像看起来真的很漂亮……仅从照片上看，它就非常了不起，我们在玫瑰园里找到了一个绝佳位置，非常感谢。”
巴伯在另一通电话采访中表示，他数月来一直在联系白宫讨论这尊雕像，但在距独立日约三周前，才收到对方“雪片般飞来的邮件”，表示希望获取该雕像。
有关玫瑰园其他雕像的详情相对稀少。
白宫表示，乔治·华盛顿（美国首任总统）的雕像由哈兰·克劳借出。这位总部位于得克萨斯州的房地产大亨及共和党超级捐赠者因近年与最高法院大法官克拉伦斯·托马斯的友谊而成为新闻焦点，其代表未回复美联社的置评请求邮件。
第三尊名为《自由的号召》（Freedom's Charge）的雕像，是一尊高23英尺的青铜雕塑，描绘两名独立战争士兵隔旗相对，此前从达拉斯迁至此处。查斯·法根未回复美联社的置评请求邮件。
据白宫介绍，富兰克林和汉密尔顿的雕像则来自匿名捐赠者。
白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔解释特朗普对雕像的偏爱时表示，没有其他总统像他那样为美化白宫及周边环境做出过如此之多的努力。
“从修复那些多年遭受滥用与故意破坏的珍贵地标，到清理公园和反射池，特朗普总统的远见卓识确保美国能以荣耀与自豪迎来其250周年诞辰庆典。”英格尔在一份通过电子邮件发送的声明中表示，该声明还提及特朗普为修缮林肯纪念堂附近水池所做的备受争议的努力。
他表示，特朗普正在持续推进“早该完成且必要的”白宫修缮工作。
“多亏了‘首席建设者’，白宫将得到应有的光荣装点，并将世代保持优异状态。”英格尔说。
在白宫隔壁，特朗普于3月在艾森豪威尔行政办公大楼院内安放了一尊克里斯托弗·哥伦布雕像。
最近，国家公园管理局在白宫附近的广场上安装了一系列革命时期主题的雕塑。
特朗普的标志性雕塑计划包括在国家广场附近建造一座“美国英雄国家花园”，园内将展出250尊美国历史文化名人雕像，以表彰他们对美国做出的重大文化、政治及其他历史贡献。
多家文物保护和文化遗产组织已起诉阻止该项目，并称国会必须先授权批准。
巴伯表示，他和伦丁也“参与竞争”，为该花园制作雕像。
在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的高尔夫俱乐部内，特朗普展示了一尊7英尺高的青铜雕像，雕像中他高举拳头，以纪念2024年在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒举行的竞选集会期间遇刺未遂的场景。
该雕像同样出自伦丁之手，并由纽约商人兼共和党国会候选人安东尼·康斯坦蒂诺赠予特朗普。
选民不认同特朗普对数据中心的热衰

共和党籍总统在中期选举前发表争议言论
作者：杰西·贝达恩、马克·莱维、斯科特·鲍尔 美联社
华盛顿——唐纳德·特朗普总统上周在白宫与加密货币领袖会晤时发表了一番言论，令共和党和民主党候选人都避之不及。
“如果我是一座城镇的市长或一个州的州长，有机会引入一家大型工厂，比如人工智能工厂或数据中心，”特朗普说，“我绝对会想要，因为工作岗位数量巨大，缴纳的税款和支付的薪资同样巨大。”
这并非任何人在竞争激烈的中期选举中会采用的信息。
数据中心建设竞赛因选民反对而受阻，他们不愿住在巨型仓储式园区附近。就连参议院共和党竞选机构也警告称，对数据中心的愤怒——有些规模甚至超过橄榄球场，耗电量超过小型城市——可能令他们付出代价。
反对声音遍及整个政治光谱，原因在于人们担心这些庞然大物会抬高电费、耗尽水井、制造大量空气和噪音污染，并永久改变社区特色——同时还能从争相招商的州政府获得丰厚的税收减免。
特朗普将数据中心描绘为国家和经济安全的必要组成部分：赢得与中国的人工智能竞赛。然而，他也承认电费上涨的担忧，此前曾表示“公司理应”承担这些成本。
他上周还暗示数据中心需要“一点公关帮助”。
近几个月来，他已让科技巨头签署自愿承诺，为数据中心导致的更高公用事业账单保护美国消费者，同时推动简化企业和公用事业公司自建发电厂的流程。
但发电厂的建设并非一朝一夕之事，而全国各地候选人的当下政治现实则完全不同。
“这是白宫又一个表现出不解民意的维度——至少是对共和党其他候选人利益漠不关心，甚至可说是冷漠。”得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校得克萨斯政治项目主任詹姆斯·亨森（非党派研究机构）表示。
从内华达州到宾夕法尼亚州，共和党和民主党的州级候选人都在将数据中心作为攻击对手的武器，而遭受这些攻击的候选人则试图与之保持距离。
在俄亥俄州这个数据中心热点地区，州长和参参议员席位的竞争异常激烈。共和党参议员竞选委员会上周在一份备忘录中警告称，参议员乔恩·赫斯特可能因数据中心问题失去席位。
民主党候选人谢罗德·布朗正在播出攻击广告，称赫斯特是“俄亥俄州数据中心的代言人”，同时人们正在为一项全州范围的公投收集签名，以禁止数据中心建设。
共和党备忘录称这已成为“整个选举周期的潜在问题”。
“布朗之所以使用这个话题，是因为它有效。”全国共和党参议员委员会表示，“在本次选战中，数据中心是悬在赫斯特脖子上的锚。如果他落败且数据中心要为此负责，全国的政客都会注意——他们下次绝不会再靠近数据中心。”
The memo suggested voters may balk at Democratic candidates who want to stop data center construction altogether in favor of a Republican candidate who only wants data centers built if a community OKs it in a vote and it pays for its own power, water and other utilities. Most registered voters oppose building a data center in their area, according to a July Fox News poll.
Still, the issue falls behind other voter concerns, such as cost of living, as November looms. A Quinnipiac Poll conducted in June asked voters what issues were important in deciding who to vote for in U.S. House elections, and about 4 in 10 mentioned AI data centers.
In Nevada, Democrat Aaron Ford quickly tied Trump's statement to Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, characterizing them as being in "lockstep on data centers."
In a statement, Ford said Trump and Lombardo are “Nevada data centers’ biggest cheerleaders” who “only care about catering to their ‘billionaire friends’ while Nevadans pay the price.”
Ford last week unveiled a policy platform in which he said he would halt new state tax breaks for data centers — estimated them at 2亿美元 currently — while auditing existing projects to ensure they are delivering on promises. also said would ensure data centers pay for their electricity needs, do not deplete Nevada's water supply and help local governments negotiate strong benefits agreements with developers.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who last November celebrated Google's announcement of a 400 亿美元 billion investment there by calling the state "the epicenter of AI development," is under attack from his Democratic challenger, Gina Hinojosa, over his pursuit of data center development.
Abbott has since changed course by promising tougher action, such as removing the state's sales tax exemption and holding up projects to review their energy usage.
Trump criticized the shift, saying “I think it’s a mistake” in a recent interview with Punchbowl News.
Asked about Trump's support for data centers, Abbott's office said the governor's "top priority is to protect Texans' safety and quality of life and ensure the integrity of our power grid
“Simply put, Texans must come first,” Abbott’s office said.
While Trump embraces data centers, even some of his allies are using them for political attacks.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, running for Wisconsin governor, released a TV ad last week branding his Democratic opponent as “Data Center David Crowley.”
The ad includes a clip of Crowley saying Wisconsin could become the “AI and data hub not only for the entire country, but for the entire globe.”
Crowley has said local communities must have veto authority while also calling data centers a part of the modern economy that could bring significant economic benefits to the state.
Tiffany, who Trump has endorsed, has also said positive things about data centers. In January, Tiffany called data centers “exciting new technology,” in an interview with PBS Wisconsin. Last December, voted for a bipartisan bill known as the SPEED Act, designed to accelerate construction of new AI infrastructure projects like data centers. It hasn’t passed the Senate.
Neither Tiffany nor Crowley support a moratorium on new data center construction.
Tiffany has called for repealing the state tax incentive for data centers, while Crowley has not. They both have called for stricter regulation.
Crowley, at an event last Wednesday where got the endorsement of the environmental group Clean Wisconsin, downplayed the attacks Tiffany has made against his data center position.
"'s getting very good at saying one thing and doing something different," Crowley said, pointing to Tiffany's votes in support of the SPEED Act.
“What Congressman Tom Tiffany’s doing is lying because ’s trying to run away from his record in Congress,” Crowley said.

《下州》 heads to Broadway
克里斯·琼斯 罗伯特·福尔斯（Robert Falls）即将回归芝加哥舞台执导，这次不是在古德曼剧院——他数十年来的艺术家园，而是在红色扭曲剧院（Redtwist Theatre），一个位于布林莫尔大道西1044号的小型剧场，座位不足50个。
"这是我回归芝加哥小剧场的演出，"福尔斯在电话中如常热情洋溢地说道。他指出，新剧将紧随他于6月在狮心歌剧院重新上演的莫扎特歌剧《唐·乔万尼》——该剧单排座位的规模都比红色扭曲剧院的整体容量还大。这部由芝加哥作家L.C. 伯纳丁（L.C. Bernadine）创作的世界首演剧目名为《飞行猴子》（Flying Monkeys），讲述的是两名"问题少年"运输行业代理人的故事，青少年常被家人强行带离，有时甚至在深夜。
演出定于12月6日至2027年1月17日上演。
福尔斯将该剧描述为"临时插入"红色扭曲剧院原定计划之间的作品。伯纳丁不仅是作家，还是制片人，长期参与"新剧院计划"（New Theatre Project）——一个崛起中的芝加哥剧团，与作家兼导演斯宾塞·赫夫曼（Spencer Huffman）合作，常在非常规剧场空间中创作，效果卓著。福尔斯表示对伯纳丁的作品充满热情，并希望给予支持。
目前尚未公布演员阵容。红色扭曲剧院是非联合会剧院，可能为新兴演员提供罕见机会，与芝加哥乃至全美最负盛名的导演合作。
面向百老汇
布鲁斯·诺里斯（Bruce Norris）的《下州》（Downstate）将于今年秋季在百老汇布斯剧院（Booth Theatre）进行限定期演出，由乔·曼特洛（Joe Mantello）执导（他刚完成《推销员之死》的制作），并由斯科特·鲁丁制作。这部构思精妙且不可避免地引发争议的剧作以性犯罪者收容所为背景，主演阵容包括芝加哥演员弗朗西斯·圭南（Francis Guinan）和K·托德·弗里曼（K. Todd Freeman），但这将是与2018年在斯蒂芬沃尔夫剧院首演版本完全不同的制作。

为退伍军人筹款活动汇聚明星
据新闻社报道
“捍卫英雄”慈善晚会将于今年秋季在纽约市举办，届时布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀将献唱，哈桑·明哈杰与乔恩·斯图尔特将带来幽默表演，庆祝其成立20周年。
该慈善晚会旨在为受伤退伍军人及其家人筹款，今年还将由《每日秀》的Resilient、亚历克斯·沃伦与乔什·约翰逊登台助阵。
今年的活动将于11月9日在林肯表演艺术中心的大卫·格芬音乐厅举行。自成立以来，“捍卫英雄”已筹集$1.17 亿用于帮助退伍军人及军人家庭。
“捍卫英雄”首次举办于2007年，由纽约喜剧节与鲍勃·伍德拉夫基金会共同打造。伍德拉夫在2006年于伊拉克执行报道任务时，在为ABC新闻采访美军部队期间险些丧命。
“当我们在2007年启动这项活动时，原本以为这只是一次性的音乐会。但它已成为一年中最有意义的夜晚之一。”鲍勃·伍德拉夫基金会在一份声明中表示。
该年度活动吸引了包括斯蒂芬·科尔伯特、吉姆·加菲根、瑞奇·热维斯、约翰·梅尔、塞斯·梅耶斯、约翰·马尔凯、约翰·奥利弗、红辣椒乐队、杰夫·罗斯、雷·罗马诺与杰瑞·宋飞在内的众多明星。
邦纳鲁音乐节取消2027年活动：邦纳鲁音乐艺术节于周五宣布将在2027年“暂停一年”，以从连续多年的风暴中恢复元气。
“这是一个艰难的决定，我们也未轻率对待，但我们内心深知，这次休整只会让邦纳鲁变得更好。”田纳西州曼彻斯特音乐节的组织者在Instagram上写道，“我们希望你们在一年中继续在社区中传递正能量，感谢你们对音乐节的热爱。”
邦纳鲁未宣布回归日期。
这并非该音乐节首次被取消。2020年的活动因新冠疫情被迫取消。2021年，音乐节曾改至9月举办，但飓风“艾达”迫使主办方取消活动。
词曲作家布拉德福德·霍布斯逝世：莫顿唱片公司词曲作家珍妮·布拉德福德·霍布斯
——她参与创作了包括《金钱（就是我想要的）》《太忙着想我的宝贝》等热门歌曲——其家人于周六表示，她在洛杉矶一家医院因长期疾病医治无效去世，享年87岁。
布拉德福德·霍布斯在20世纪50年代末由邻居兼歌手杰基·威尔逊介绍给莫顿唱片公司创始人贝里·戈迪。她于1958年加入莫顿唱片公司担任接待员，并参与了推动莫顿唱片成为音乐产业巨头的创作过程。
她与戈迪共同创作了《金钱（就是我想要的）》。该歌曲于1959年由巴雷特·斯特朗录制，成为早期热门作品，并被披头士乐队翻唱。《太忙着想我的宝贝》最初由诱惑合唱团录制，后成为马文·盖伊的热门歌曲。
布拉德福德·霍布斯还为史提夫·汪达、至上合唱团与玛莎与范德拉斯合唱团创作过歌曲。

R. 埃里克·托马斯 问答专栏
亲爱的埃里克：
我们最小的孩子过去两年一直只能兼职工作，尽管她是两个孩子的单身母亲。与此同时，她的工作状况每况愈下，而我和丈夫也从全家曾经居住的城市搬离。
女儿在我们离开后感到被抛弃，尤其是因为我和丈夫曾是她的金钱提供者、作业辅导员、食物供应者等。
女儿曾被邀请与我们同住，但因孩子的父亲原因无法成行。法院也不允许她这样做。
我们一直在帮她承担许多开支：两辆车的汽车保险、她和孩子们的手机费、网络、Netflix、有线电视、洗衣、零用开支和食物。
此外，我们还断断续续帮她支付房租，并为孩子们支付暑期课程、法律费用、特殊教育老师等费用。她的前夫仅按法院要求支付抚养费，一分钱也不多给。
这些开支让我和丈夫的经济状况捉襟见肘。我们动用了三次积蓄，还有一次从房屋中抽取了资金。
现在，我们再次陷入信用卡债务（超过30,000美元），而所有这些开支都不是我们自己的。当我试图向女儿解释这个问题时，她大发雷霆——她偶尔会这样。
大多数时候她对我们很好。有时她会对我们大喊大叫，甚至辱骂我们。
我与姐姐讨论过这个问题，她说我正在被操控，女儿需要接受治疗，我们应该断绝关系并设定底线。
但我们又怎能断绝与心爱的孙子孙女的联系，让他们没有食物、干净的衣服、鞋子和学习用品呢？
我们正在走向破产。她拿走了我的两张信用卡，所有支出都由她承担。
她的其他开支则直接从我的支票账户中扣除。您能帮帮我们吗？
——害怕女儿脾气的母亲
亲爱的“害怕”：
听你姐姐的吧。如果你陷入经济破产，对你、对女儿，甚至对孙子孙女都无济于事。
为自己制定一份预算，并坦诚地与女儿沟通这份预算的限度。设定外部边界——如果你选择继续支付她的信用卡账单，可以降低额度，例如让信用卡公司不再批准超过限额的消费。
她可能会争辩说你有钱就该给她，但不客气地说，显然你们没有这笔钱。
你们正在拿房屋抵押借贷，并深陷债务。这不仅仅是你选择让孙子孙女缺衣少食的问题；根本没有这笔钱。她的愤怒是误导的，甚至可以说是操控性的。
无论如何，这无法解决任何问题。如果她无法与你文明交流，你也必须为此设定底线。如果减少支持意味着孙子孙女将缺少干净衣物，那么这里存在一个你们无法单独解决的更大系统性问题。
但还有很多步骤可以尝试。Netflix不是必需品，第二辆车可能也不必要。财务顾问或免费预算项目可以帮助你找到一些削减的空间。
亲爱的埃里克：
我40岁，有三个十几岁的女儿，与新丈夫结婚将近一年。
最近我被开了一副专门用于阅读的眼镜。丈夫觉得我戴着这副眼镜看起来很棒，并问了几次是否可以考虑一直戴着。
我确实订购了一副混合型双焦点眼镜，这样我就能在办公室一直戴着，真的可以舒适地一直戴着。但我个人觉得不戴眼镜更有魅力，而且觉得眼镜让我看起来更老。
我无法决定该怎么做。我应该只在真正需要时戴眼镜吗？
还是应该像丈夫建议的那样，尝试戴两周？
亲爱的 Glasses：
很高兴你的丈夫如此支持你，也乐于给你赞美和建议，但关于你的外表，最重要的是你自己感到舒适。
所以，如果你只想在需要时戴眼镜，就别再犹豫了。他可以学着把这当作一种特别的享受。
他觉得你看起来很棒——我也相信确实如此——但如果你是为了他而开始戴眼镜，而自己并不觉得开心，那体验可能会变味。
更好的做法是让眼镜发挥它应有的作用：帮助你阅读。其他都是额外的好处。

超级英雄照亮侦探故事
!
《绿灯侠》主演：左为亚伦·皮埃尔（饰约翰·斯图尔特），右为凯尔·钱德勒（饰哈尔·乔丹）。HBO MAX
优秀的编剧、执行、演员阵容助力《绿灯侠》颇具原创性
撰稿：罗伯特·劳埃德 《洛杉矶时报》
尽管超级英雄拥有无与伦比的力量，但他们终究要受制于那些为他们撰写剧本、绘制形象、出演荧屏，并进一步受制于那些决定何事应放何处、何时放、花费多少的制片人和高管们。某种程度上，他们确实无能为力。
这种力量组合有时能成就英雄，有时则不然。绿灯侠作为DC漫画宇宙中的二线角色，不幸在2011年由瑞安·雷诺兹主演的电影中被困，甚至连该片导演也不喜欢这部作品。十五年后，他却幸运地由凯尔·钱德勒饰演，并主演电视剧《绿灯侠》——该剧于每周日在HBO播出，而非作为院线大片，后者需投入大量资金用于喧闹的场景设置和震撼的群雄大战。
我常常主张，电视这一看似更为谦逊的媒介，才是讲述这些故事的最佳平台——它拥有足够的时间去探索角色的复杂性、模糊性与多面性，也为那些过于奇特、小众或概念化的创意提供了避风港，这些创意在保守的高成本院线IP开发中往往难以立足。而在此次，我再次得到了验证。
创作者达蒙·林德洛夫（《迷失》、《守望者》、《戴维斯夫人》）、漫画作家汤姆·金以及为《犯罪心理》、《黑钱内幕》和《血脉》撰写剧本的克里斯·芒迪，明确将目光投向了电视——具体灵感来自《真探》（芒迪曾参与该剧创作），其特点在于令人不适的合作关系；以及《慢性子间谍》（或许是因其不光彩的英雄形象），《慢性子间谍》导演詹姆斯·霍斯执导了前两集。（《绿灯侠》中也能隐约感受到《冰血暴》的影子，如其中西部平原风光、黑色幽默以及虽超凡却又平凡的角色塑造。）
“和你一样，我只是个普通人。”《绿灯侠》在1996年电视采访中开场的一句台词，由哈尔·乔丹（钱德勒饰）说出；诚然，他的超能力仅源于工作所赋予的装备——作为银河和平卫队的一名人类“巡警”，他拥有一枚特殊戒指和一个灯形充能装置。这套装备赋予他飞行能力，并能随意召唤物体，最常见的是一个保护性绿色泡泡，但也包括开瓶器和一张10美元钞票。（制服倒是有，但大部分时间他都把它锁在衣柜里。）
这段采访被一个痴迷绿灯侠的孩子——约翰·斯图尔特（由亚伦·皮埃尔饰）观看。我们将在2016年再次见到他，那时大部分剧情都将在此上演。此时的他已是前海军狙击手兼艺术系学生——这些人类才能将证明大有用处——被分配给哈尔作为“实习生”，名义上是为哈尔提供支援，以防万一。哈尔在岗位上已有近二十年，却从未习惯有人陪伴，对这项安排也心存疑虑。（《那些蓝色大老板或许觉得你是个（脏话）天才，但你不过是个……代课老师罢了。）他对约翰进行了一系列测试，这些测试可能会要了他的命，若非真心想置他于死地的话。但无论如何，哈尔在两人中更显和蔼可亲。
通过一位制片方视为剧透的经纪人（我确信自己并不清楚原因），哈尔收到一条消息：内布拉斯加州拉什维尔镇上空出现冰雹（即：外星人！）。于是他立刻从自己正在签名和拍照的塔可钟快餐店离开，乘飞机赶往现场，而约翰则独自以常规方式飞往那里，背景音乐响起的是“呆瓜合唱团”的《无乐趣》。
他们分别赶到一场高中橄榄球比赛的余波中，这场比赛在球场上留下了尸体。（哈尔怀疑某种外星人的骚乱。）在这里我们见到了凯莉·麦克唐纳，扮演坚韧而温柔的谢里夫凯丽，维护着自己的管辖权。哈尔发现她“了不起”。（约翰：“我觉得她恨透了你。”）哈尔：“是啊，但正是这种恨的方式。”凯丽的丈夫是律师比利·麦康（杰森·里特饰），他的父亲威廉（加勒特·迪拉亨特饰）是当地的权贵，拥有一支牛仔民兵和一位妻子佐伊（普尔娜·贾格纳坦饰），后者可能并非巧合地在酒吧里遇到了约翰。
现年60岁的钱德勒如今魅力四射，这种成熟的韵味让詹姆斯·加纳在《吉姆·罗克福德探案》中大放异彩，后者是电视史上最伟大的侦探。五季《周五晚间灯光》已将他深深植入大众意识，成为一个超乎寻常的善良男人，这让我们得以原谅哈尔那些不太光彩的时刻，或至少从他的视角看待一切。皮埃尔，32岁，练习巴西柔术，拥有超级英雄般的体格；他将约翰塑造得紧绷、冷漠、野心勃勃——他从小让父亲用枪射苹果从他头上取下来以证明自己的无畏，这是成为绿灯侠的首要条件——尽管这个角色在整季（故事同样发生在2026年）中逐渐变得温暖。
演员们在一起的场景中表现最佳，编剧们即使看似不可能也能让这些场景发生。（剧透就不解释了。）
将侦探工作与科幻结合并非新鲜事——经典如《X档案》。（《糖》目前也在上映；《X档案》则是经典。）（还有一场审讯戏，我敢肯定是在向《银翼杀手》致敬。）《绿灯侠》并非完全没有陈词滥调，这在科幻和犯罪故事中几乎不可能避免，毕竟这些故事已流传多年，在某种程度上这正是我们追求的。但该剧在细节和执行上足够新鲜，剧本足够强大，表演足够出色，让它显得相当独特。
我在对这个角色一无所知的情况下观看了《绿灯侠》，这个角色自1940年以来就存在，而在这个版本中自1959年起（之后我做了些阅读）。幸运的是，该剧并未深陷DC宇宙的交叉引用和穿插剧情中。偶有哥谭市和大都会（超人工作的地方）的闪现，内森·菲利安在2025年《超人》电影中以糟糕发型回归绿灯侠角色（说来话长），《绿灯侠》自带所需的一切信息。引入额外神话只会让原本不清晰的部分更加混乱，而让原本清晰的部分变得模糊。几乎每个角色，无论站在哪一方——有时很难分辨，因为外星人长得和人类一模一样——都有其层次。
我真的完全理解这些派系在追求什么，甚至这些派系到底是什么吗？没有。这重要吗？也不重要。
观看方式：每周日在HBO播出，流媒体平台HBO Max同步上线
谁守护我们的故事？谁来讲述我们的故事？谁确保我们的故事准确无误？我们如何成为故事的守护者和档案管理员？”芝加哥黑人舞蹈遗产项目（CBDLP）执行董事玛莎·哈迪问道，“档案馆不是静止的纸张。它是一个有生命、有呼吸的存在；我们就是档案馆，我们通过舞蹈来演绎档案，因为我们在舞蹈中展现有生命、有呼吸的故事。”
这场演出是对动作与表达的庆祝，向那些推动城市变革的行动者致敬——他们的工作与领导力塑造并激励了当前的舞蹈生态系统。这一生态系统并非基于竞争，而是合作与互补，在舞蹈社区内促进成长。
哈迪表示，这场演出将以章节形式呈现，每家舞蹈公司将展示一件作品，重点关注传承遗产的传承者，他们的生命与贡献体现该章节的主题。获奖者及其类别包括：卡萝尔·亚当斯，获“记录守护者”称号；Chance the Rapper，获“管理”称号；通过丹·达斯特表彰Ida B. Wells，获“语言大师”称号；詹姆斯与波琳·蒙哥马利夫妇，获“道德勇气”称号；柯蒂斯·梅菲尔德与卢佩·菲亚斯科，获“声音”称号；Runako Jahi，获“声音”称号；杰奎琳·泰勒，获“空间创造者”称号；帕梅拉·克拉奇菲尔德，获“文化盟友”称号；NAJWA，获“文化记忆传承”称号；安东尼·布朗，获“传承”称号。
据哈迪介绍，今年的主题源于当前环境——在这个环境中，对黑人身份的抹杀正在全国各地发生。
“我们希望断言：我们依然存在，我们依然在创作作品，”她说。
乔尔·霍尔舞者中心的艺术总监威廉·吉尔表示，这家成立52年的机构——根植于爵士舞——从一开始就参与了芝加哥黑人舞蹈遗产项目。
“每年一次的聚会，就像家庭聚会，”他说，“看到不同的公司……我们同在一座城市，却并非总能时常相见，直到参与这些精彩的项目。”
CBDLP诞生于2019年，当时数据显示，舞蹈公司——尤其是黑人舞蹈公司——资金不足。时任乔伊斯基金会“文化项目”主任的特蕾西·霍尔与洛根艺术中心合作构想了CBDLP，旨在提供资源支持。自此，CBDLP已举办多场音乐会，展示新兴与传统公司的作品，如2019年在洛根中心举办的“遗产”音乐会，以及2022年在千禧公园举办的“重获新生：芝加哥黑人舞蹈的精神”和2024年举办的“占卜：黑人灵魂的舞蹈”。
“这一项目的初衷是传承芝加哥黑人舞蹈的传统并代代相传，”CBDLP艺术总监凯文·伊加·杰夫表示，“我们拥有专业、准专业和青年舞蹈公司，这一生态系统滋养了整个芝加哥黑人舞蹈生态系统，乃至更广泛的芝加哥舞蹈生态系统。我们需要确保为资金较少的机构提供支持，让竞争环境更加公平。”
多年来，CBDLP的支持工作包括通过倡导、档案管理、能力建设和演出，提升舞蹈公司的可持续性与可见度。哈迪表示，从“我们如何帮助你？”这一问题出发，公司已提供从艺术专业发展到组织能力建设资金等多方面支持，用于聘请编舞家、助理，购买放大地板（舞者可通过麦克风放大脚步声）。该地板此后已成为公司的收入来源。
“我们真正感兴趣的是做一些能为这样的公司带来变革的事情，”她说。
基于此理念，CBDLP还组织资深艺术家与新兴艺术家对话，让如托尼奖提名编舞家坎米尔·A·布朗与美国国家艺术奖章获得者琼·迈尔斯·布朗（费城舞蹈基金会创始人）等前辈传授经验
公司。哈迪说，在她90多岁时，迈尔斯·布朗拥有丰富的信息，了解在城市环境中创建黑人舞蹈公司的情况，即使在当时那并不是一件很酷的事。
“有一群核心的民事、市政、文化黑人领袖，年龄在70岁、80岁和90岁之间，他们已经经历过这一切，”哈迪说，“他们让民权立法得以通过。他们是如何应对的？让我们把他们请来，让他们谈谈他们如何利用创造力在看似不可能的时代实现目标。”
“工作仍需继续，”吉尔说，“我们致力于此，而通过《芝加哥黑人舞蹈传承计划》这样的演出和机会，让我们有机会被看到。传承计划绝对重要。自从我参与以来，我们已在满座的观众面前进行了演出。每个人都渴望看到这样的作品：这些黑人舞蹈公司、平等与可视化，只要知道我们在这个城市有一席之地是如此重要，尤其是在当前正在发生的政治氛围下。”
毕竟，舞蹈关乎人类发展，哈迪说。舞蹈是一种治愈方式，是性格的塑造者。舞蹈是一份工作。舞蹈也是一种健康。
“它开阔了世界。观众之间存在交流，人们的思想也在相互碰撞，思考什么是可能的，”她说。

追忆逝者
芝加哥戏剧界正哀悼Kurt Ehrmann的离世。他于8月10日因心脏病突发辞世，享年58岁。
Ehrmann是一位卓越而低调的演员，在芝加哥各大非主流剧院舞台上始终充满活力、思想活跃且情感丰沛。
我至今记得他在2006年Hypocrites剧团《天使在美国》中饰演罗伊·科恩的精彩表演，以及在Hypocrites剧团《终局》（Endgame）中饰演哈姆的表现（Ehrmann与该剧团合作频繁，还在2008年导演Sean Graney执导的《三便士歌剧》Steppenwolf车库剧场版中饰演皮丘姆一角，令人印象深刻）。
Ehrmann还曾与House剧院合作，在该团2006年推出的《哈特菲与麦考伊》（Hatfield & McCoy）音乐剧版中饰演“老兰尔”麦考伊。我当时评价House剧团为该角色选角找到了一位“成熟的成年人”，Ehrmann在舞台上总显得比实际年龄更成熟。这或许是因为他的表演总带着如此深刻的老练与情感厚度。
但我最难忘的，还是他在Graney执导的《樱桃园》中饰演的洛帕辛一角。观众对这一契诃夫笔下角色的喜爱程度或许见仁见智，但当Ehrmann出演时，一切都变得无可争议。

没有人能忘记詹姆斯·斯图尔特笨拙地走进镜头的模样——双手插兜，腼腆的微笑渐渐绽放。这位彻头彻尾的美国好小伙似乎总能完美诠释角色。在其职业生涯中，斯图尔特出演了超过90部电影和电视剧，斩获无数奖项与赞誉。他再次回归“夏日经典之夜”也就不足为奇了。本次特别展映包括《浮生若梦》（1938年，弗兰克·卡普拉的奥斯卡获奖喜剧）和《店铺一角》（1940年，欧内斯特·刘别谦执导的浪漫爱情片，斯图尔特与玛格丽特·苏利文饰演互通匿名情书的同事）。晚间节目转向斯图尔特与阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克的经典合作，包括《迷魂记》（1958年）、《后窗》（1954年，图中所示）和《绳索》（1948年）——这些影片将其银幕形象推向痴迷与心理不安的深度。

托马斯用《终端机组男孩》打造真挚友情颂歌
惠特默·托马斯与朋友们一同演唱其最新喜剧特别节目中的歌曲。VALERIE MACON / GETTY-AFP 2025
撰文：安东尼·索洛萨诺 《洛杉矶时报》
惠特默·托马斯一边啜饮着冰镇冷萃咖啡，一边回答自己是否算得上一个“酷小子”。他波浪卷的头发藏在帽子下，反光墨镜遮住双眼，另一副墨镜则挂在纯白T恤的领口。
“从纸面上看，人们会说，你瞧，你是个在独立摇滚乐队演奏、表演单口喜剧、留着蓬松头发的男人，技术上你就是个酷小子，”托马斯说，“但我并不这么认为。那只是我在表演，拼命想买对合适的衣服罢了。”
他并不在乎是否“酷”。他真正在意的唯一特质是忠诚，尤其是对待他的伙伴们、他的哥们儿、“终端机组男孩”——这也是他最新HBO Max喜剧特别节目的标题与主题，现已上线播出。
“（他们的友谊）意义重大，不是吗？”托马斯说，“它构成了我的全部身份。我的朋友们，以及我们一起讲述的故事……我几乎觉得，自己对朋友们有所亏欠。”
整场节目中，他精心挑选的“家人”都与他同台，用歌曲为每个轶事增添情感按钮。他们的存在让《终端机组男孩》更像是朋友间的即兴演奏与逗乐，而非传统喜剧特别节目。
这种默契离不开他最好的朋友克莱·塔图姆，后者共同执导了这部特别节目并在演出中担任吉他手。
“让他们在场真的很动人、很温馨，因为他们了解那些故事。”这位喜剧演员说，“很多我提到的事情，外人可能觉得悲伤或什么的，但对他们而言并非如此。那些事对他们来说很搞笑，不是吗？他们见证了事后——”
有时“终端机组男孩”会对某些细节发笑，而观众可能察觉不到——那些笑声原本只为朋友们而生。有时他的朋友们甚至敢让他讲一个关于水牛翅的笑话，这种“挑战”只有多年友谊才能孕育。
托马斯演完这个段子后，被制作人兼喜剧演员蒂姆·罗宾逊说服，将其保留在最终剪辑版中。
“这种事在现场表演时很有乐趣，但等到剪辑时，无论如何我都会想，‘唉，我应该直接来段紧凑的单口喜剧。’”托马斯说。
巡演乐队开销高昂，且所有人聚在一起排练殊为不易。于是，他们依赖多年相知培养出的默契完成拍摄。这部特别节目真正成为友谊的颂歌，其精髓所在。
在录制前，《终端机组男孩》曾两度同台演出。
尽管缺乏排练，他们却丝毫不乱。乐队在每首歌中焕发活力，不仅仅是伴奏，更成为栩栩如生的角色。
“从七年级起，我们就一起组乐队，”托马斯说，“我们之间有一种默契，这方面无需多言。”
最初，这部特别节目的方向截然不同。在创作初期，托马斯决意讲述童年往事，并拼命逗乐观众。
他一心要做传统的单口喜剧特别节目——每当准备新一小时内容时，这种想法总会冒出来。但每当他与朋友们合作，最终成果总会变成一幅由脆弱叙事拼贴而成的作品，灵感源自滑板文化与MTV经典《Jackass》——这种作品让他对观众感到真诚。
他表示：“问题是，除非我处于脆弱状态，或者投入某种让我感到不适的事物中，否则我根本不知道该如何行事。”
最终，这一切都成了一档托马斯希望能让朋友们聚在一起观看的特别节目。
他说道：“也许这听起来有些老套，但我真的很想让朋友们一起观看。”

星座运程
如果你的生日是8月26日：今天的生日可能让你感觉像是从旧一年的终结中侥幸逃脱。今天你将开始新的篇章，你的新一年看起来比你在2026年迄今为止的经历更有吸引力。
白羊座（3月21日-4月19日）：新想法可能会继续酝酿，并可能为你的日常工作流程酿造出一些有用的新方法。
金牛座（4月20日-5月20日）：与权威的早期对抗可能正在失去势头；放手吧。记住以便观察是否有模式，但为了自己的未来福祉，有意识地释放残余的挫败感。
双子座（5月21日-6月20日）：现在避免在公开场合分享脆弱情绪，你可能会收到的与其说是同情，更多是评判。
巨蟹座（6月21日-7月22日）：尽管今天的“宇宙日”得分很高，但你的财务领域并不适合做出重要决定、投资或购买。
狮子座（7月23日-8月22日）：你的心思可能在金钱上，今天你自己的直觉在这方面比他人的更可靠。在一段关系中找到平衡，让双方都能保持个人行动力和主权。
处女座（8月23日-9月22日）：现在“心灵主宰万物”可以成为你的座右铭，你的认知能力可能大放异彩。将心灵投入日常任务中能让它们变得更有意义。避开他人的权力游戏。
天秤座（9月23日-10月22日）：无论你是与教练、治疗师合作还是独自一人，未来几周你可能都能完成一些深度的内在工作。
天蝎座（10月23日-11月21日）：与朋友相处的时光可能充满调侃或头脑风暴，但现在不太可能无聊。在家庭方面，你用理解而非不满更能赢得人心。
射手座（11月22日-12月21日）：全身心投入工作吧——你的思维可能格外及时，好好把握这个机会。
摩羯座（12月22日-1月19日）：今天可能是做金钱相关行动的好日子，但要注意与昨天同样的注意事项——确保焦虑、情绪或旧有的假设不会主导你的决定。
水瓶座（1月20日-2月18日）：诉诸内心而非动用武力——你会得到更好的结果，未来也会有更多选择。
双鱼座（2月19日-3月20日）：你和伴侣可能会共同策划重大改进或为自己设定新目标。不要对自己保持戒备，最终向真相屈服会让你获得自由。

桥牌
南北有局，东家发牌
格兰德大道 作者：迈克·汤普森
挪威选手博耶·布罗格伦德在今天的牌局中担任南家，这是多年前波士顿一场大型锦标赛中的牌局。西家若开叫四黑桃，仅输三墩梅花即可成局。许多牌手竞叫至五方块，最终宕一。防守方先出两轮黑桃，南家第二轮将吃。
叫牌过程如下：
东家 / 南家 / 西家 / 北家
1♣ / 1♥ / 1♠ / 2♥ 2♠ / 3♦ / 4♠ / 5♦
首攻：♠6
南家将吃第二轮黑桃。方块A的出现显示出不利的分配，三轮梅花被兑现以垫去明手两张红心。东家拿到红心K后续攻红心J，被明手将吃。无论南家是否先打方块K或将吃黑桃，东家的方块J最终都会成为宕牌的关键张。
布罗格伦德巧妙地解决了这一难题。当他兑现方块A时，明手垫的是7而不是4。方块7有时被称为“啤酒牌”，这是另一个故事了。他还在梅花上垫去两张红心，并打红心到K和A。此时当东家出红心J时，布罗格伦德用方块8将吃，然后打出方块4到手中的方块6。他随后用明手的方块Q将吃红心，建立起该花色，再打方块到K以消去最后一张将牌。精彩的打法！

真正的“小熊蓝”团队
小熊队150周年纪念队忽略了那些让球队独一无二的名字
保罗·沙利文 追随新闻之际
小熊队周一公布了150周年纪念队名单，其中囊括了常见人选，但也有一些令人费解的遗漏。
可以肯定地说，这并非对球队150年历史的真实呈现，因为投票的球迷中几乎没人观看过1876年至1975年——小熊队历史的第一个世纪。
本应交由小熊队历史学家完成，但由于埃德·哈蒂格是他们唯一的历史学家，球队管理层可能不想把所有责任都压在他身上。
尽管小熊队将选票限制在球员和教练范围内，但球队的传奇历史显然远不止这40名球员和三名经理。还有许多人为球队留下了印记，包括老板、高管、播音员、球迷和酒吧老板。
作为自1987年起任职时间最长的小熊队记者，我荣幸地呈现真正的150周年纪念团队。
演说家：李·埃利亚
老板：P.K.·瑞格利
尽管他在1982至1983赛季的战绩为127胜158负，但这位前小熊队教练曾放言：“世界上85%的（该死的）人都在工作，（该死的）剩下的15%跑到这里，（该死的）操场，（该死的）把他们（该死的）撕碎，（该死的）像（该死的）球员一样。”埃利亚的传奇永不褪色。
看台名人：罗尼·“呜呜”·威克斯
数十年来，“呜呜”始终是看台上的标志性人物，震破了几代小熊队球迷的耳膜。芝加哥《太阳报》曾一度宣称罗尼·威克斯已去世，但《论坛报》却在其送披萨的工作岗位上找到了他。他带着半打披萨冲进新闻编辑室高喊：“我还活着，呜！我还活着，呜！”他依然活跃，继续“呜呜”呐喊。
球迷：史蒂夫·巴特曼
在2003年国家联盟冠军赛第六场关键时刻，巴特曼因误接导致小熊队崩盘的那记界外球而一夜成名。尽管因此获得2016年世界大赛戒指作为回报，但23年来他始终避开媒体。
他为瑞格利球场熄灭了灯光，并以个人名义在报纸上刊登广告，严厉批评希望罢免教练里奥·德罗歇的“倒杜罗歇帮”。
媒体评论家：吉米·瑞安
1892年7月，小熊队外野手吉米·瑞安因一篇批评他的严厉文章，当众殴打了《芝加哥晚间新闻》记者乔治·贝克尔数次。据《论坛报》报道，瑞安“袭击了该记者，把他揍得很惨，还在其下巴上划出一道口子”

安全位置的不确定性
《芝加哥论坛报》记者 肖恩·哈蒙德
距离芝加哥熊队9月13日对阵卡罗来纳黑豹队的赛季揭幕战不足三周，主教练本·约翰逊尚未确定左截锋位置的最终人选。
布拉克斯顿·琼斯看似最有希望，考虑到他在上周六辛辛那提季前赛中与首发阵容一起完成了练习。
但左截锋并非约翰逊目前唯一关注的位置。每次站在讲台前接受媒体采访时，他似乎都会被问及左截锋的问题。周二他表示，对于谁将担任揭幕战首发左截锋，他尚未“100%确定”。
季前赛收官战

■ 赛季揭幕战：熊队 vs 黑豹队，9月13日中午，福克斯32频道
在接下来为期三天的集训关键期（包括周二在哈拉斯馆的实战训练、周四与田纳西泰坦队的联合训练以及周六在田纳西州纳什维尔的季前赛）前，他还想谈谈另一个位置。
约翰逊说：“我可以告诉你们，另一个位置就是安全卫。安全卫也是我们希望在这三天内能够敲定首发人选的位置，这样我们就能从第一场比赛开始向前推进。”
很难夸大首发安全卫科比受伤对球队的影响。

Team owner Alter defends Kanter Freedom's ejection
By Julia Poe
《芝加哥论坛报》
天空队（Sky）老板迈克尔·阿尔特在WNBA球队将前NBA球员埃内斯·坎特·弗里德姆（Enes Kanter Freedom）逐出周日对阵印第安纳辐射（Indiana Fever）比赛后，仍坚持立场。
坎特·弗里德姆在Wintrust体育场观看比赛，并坐在场边，身穿印有“WOMAN noun. adult human female”字样的T恤。在第三节与天空队后卫娜塔莎·克劳德（Natasha Cloud）发生言语交锋后，坎特·弗里德姆跨越摄影师，侵入死球状态下的基准线区域。
球队和体育场安保人员立即将坎特逐出球场，最终逐出体育场。在此过程中，阿尔特也立即离开场边座位，穿过球场与坎特·弗里德姆对峙，并明显指示其离开附近区域，同时敦促安保人员进行干预。
这是这名前球员最新一次在继续将自己置于关于跨性别女性是否应参与女子体育比赛的辩论中的行为。坎特·弗里德姆此前曾宣布参加WNBA选秀，导致联盟于本周早些时候否决了其参选资格。

熊队训练营报道
怀特带伤离场
在周二于霍拉斯馆进行的训练营中，芝加哥熊队右截锋达内尔·怀特佩戴肘部护具。怀特在训练中因明显的肘部伤势离场。

周二在霍拉斯馆训练营中，芝加哥熊队右截锋达内尔·怀特带伤离场。
在四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯与首发进攻组进行红区训练时，怀特在接球后因明显的右肘伤势由训练师陪同离场。看起来他仍在处理去年受伤的同一肘部不适。这位25岁球员自去年第三周对阵达拉斯牛仔队时撕裂尺侧副韧带后，便一直在右肘佩戴大型护具。
周二训练师为怀特的肘部处理了数分钟后，他步行返回球队训练设施。西奥·本内代特在训练中顶替怀特担任右截锋。
本月，怀特与球队签下一份为期四年、总价值1.16亿美元（9300万美元保障金）的合同——这是进攻组球员保障金的历史最高纪录。作为2023年选秀第10顺位新秀，怀特是主教练本·约翰逊与总经理瑞安·波尔斯正在打造的年轻进攻核心的重要一员。
怀特在三年职业生涯中仅缺席过两场比赛。在去年撕裂尺侧副韧带后，他错过了第四周战胜拉斯维加斯侠客队的比赛，但在球队轮空后的第六周复出。
对于棒球投手而言，这种伤势通常需要进行“汤米·约翰”韧带置换手术，但怀特无需投掷100英里时速的快球。去年秋季他选择未做手术，而是佩戴护具并让伤势自然愈合结疤。
防守截锋格冯·德克斯特·斯尼尔、未被选中的新秀紧缩端哈登·拉奇及角卫唐泰·曼宁也提前离场。
以下是周二在霍拉斯馆训练中其他值得关注的亮点。
卡莱布·威廉姆斯观察
威廉姆斯的训练表现不稳定，但责任并不全在他。在周二训练的早段，进攻组在自家1码线陷入困境，难以突破。
在首次尝试的第一次&十时，威廉姆斯向罗姆·奥顿泽的传球出界；在第二次尝试的第二次&十时，传向贾德·沃克的球虽精准，却被接球手指尖碰掉。
随后他在中场深处找到奥顿泽，该次传球本可延伸30至35码，但因防守方在训练营期间受限制而未能实现。安全卫迪伦·西内曼与卡姆·刘易斯在该次进攻中受限。
在7对7训练中，威廉姆斯数次尝试传向紧缩端科尔斯顿·洛夫兰，但均被线卫德文·布什及西内曼拦截——后者甚至跃起将球拍落。
在红区训练的第三次&一时，威廉姆斯命中奥顿泽，后者在角卫泰奎·史蒂文森头顶完成一次争议接球达阵。
虽然出现数次几乎被拦截的情况、一次延迟进攻违例以及“长驱”训练环节效率不高，但威廉姆斯整体运作流畅。
“（他的） huddle 组织一次比一次更好，”紧缩端科尔·基梅特表示，“你能看出他与（约翰逊）教练的默契相比去年增长了许多。所以你每天都能看到他在 huddle 中的成长。”
焦点球员：TE 科尔·克梅特
克梅特作为接球手的角色在去年熊队选秀洛夫兰德后以及约翰逊扩大空中进攻后有所减弱。过去三个赛季，他的接球次数从90次降至55次再降至48次，而上赛季的接球成功率则创下职业生涯新低——62.5%。
进攻协调员普雷斯·泰勒表示这位七年级老将具备担任该角色的“正确素质”。
“我们要求他做什么，他都能完成，”泰勒本月初曾表示，“他可以站在全后卫位置，可以排在内线，可以跑动出去，可以在空档区域活动。他不仅是科尔斯顿和萨姆（罗什）的榜样，也是我们整个进攻体系的榜样。”
克梅特周二表示“一切为了胜利，所以我们必须做任何能赢球的事”。
“如果这意味着每场比赛接六七个球，我完全支持，”他说道，“如果这意味着我必须成为传球保护中的关键一环……并在跑动进攻中扮演主要角色，我也完全支持。所以当我们的主要目标是赢球时，这并不难。”
备注引言
“他简直是个猛兽，”约翰逊在谈到新秀防守截锋乔丹·范登伯格时如是说。
范登伯格在训练营中因与进攻线球员的对抗以及在比赛结束后仍积极参与争斗的意愿而脱颖而出。
当被问及其名字时，约翰逊顿时来了精神。
“这个家伙……他是个不可思议的运动员，”他说道，“他在一定程度上还在学习橄榄球这项运动，但他带来的惊人之处却不胜枚举。他每天都保持一致——脸上总带着微笑，热爱橄榄球，热爱这个过程。
“我还没有亲眼见过，但有人告诉我他在首场（季前赛）比赛中被麦克风录下了声音，他回到边线后正与格雷迪（贾勒特）讨论场上的情况。格雷迪在帮助他，不时给他一些小建议。现在看到这些真让人高兴。他已牢牢占据了一席之地。”
所见所闻
■ 替补四分卫泰森·班杰特时隔一周后首次回归训练。自8月15日季前赛对阵克利夫兰布朗队以来，班杰特一直因腿筋伤势缺席。
在第三次进攻周期中，班杰特的首次传球险些被拦截。安全员泽维尔·伍兹有机会截获传给沃克的球，但未能抓住，球最终未完成传递。
班杰特的第二次传球给斯科蒂·米勒偏离了目标，但他在下一轮通过传给莫里斯·亚历山大完成回归。
■ 布拉克斯顿·琼斯在左截锋位置继续获得首发球员的对抗练习。在一对一钻中，琼斯在面对蒙特兹·斯威特的冲刺时似乎表现稳健。
在受伤前，赖特曾在一对一中挡下戴约·奥德因博。右截锋本尼迪特则挡下了贾姆里·克罗马的冲刺。 ■ 在一次漫长且激烈的训练中，角卫杰伦·约翰逊曾让进攻方和防守方短暂聚集进行简短碰商。
“（他）觉得那还不够好，”刘易斯谈及这位两届职业碗角卫的信息时表示，“我也认同那不符合我们的标准。想要连续两年赢下分区冠军，你现在就是众矢之的。我们在训练上半场的表现未达标准，所以我们把问题提了出来。告诉了队员们后，我们继续前进。”
训练后期，伍兹和替补跑锋萨尔冯·艾哈迈德发生推搡并被队友分开。
“我不知道这有什么好在意的，老实说，”刘易斯说，“在哨音之间做你该做的，在那儿保持身体对抗，打得凶悍。哨音响起后，一切就结束了。但如果事态发展到那种地步，你知道，要保护自己。要挺身而出。”
在“长驱”环节中，球被放在进攻方15码线处，还要在放大的观众噪音下运作。双方均对混乱时刻感到不满。
“是啊，这糟透了，”克梅特笑着说，“归根结底就是你在疲惫和不想继续时如何执行。
……你能看到首次经历这种情况的年轻球员，比如，他们会因为脑子里已经想太多而挣扎。再加上疲劳，（这）只会让情况变得更加困难。”
刘易斯代表防守方发言时说：“我们表现得很糟糕。”
“第一次进攻中，我们在中路让D’安德烈·斯威夫特获得了8码或9码的推进，”他说，“我们在压力防守上有几次失位……我们就是没做好。很多大的失误。”
新动向
熊队公布了新的“宿敌”系列球衣，他们将在圣诞大战对阵绿湾包装工队时穿着。这套球衣致敬熊队历史多个时代，同时向乔治·哈拉斯的母校伊利诺伊大学致敬——正是哈拉斯最初以该校的蓝橙配色为灵感，确立了球队的队服颜色。
“宿敌”球衣为海军蓝色，搭配白色勾边的橙色数字，裤子为橙色，配有海军蓝和白色条纹。头盔为橙色，上有白色勾边的海军蓝“C”标志。头盔正面还在面罩上方印有“BEARS”字样，背面则有芝加哥市旗的四颗星。
球衣胸前的“GSH”徽章——其中“H”在中间格外突出——正是球队在1983年为纪念哈拉斯逝世时所穿球衣上的图案。
伤情与参赛情况
芝加哥熊队将安全员以利亚·希克斯（左胫骨）和线卫凯沙安·埃利奥特（背部）从伤病名单中激活。他们将在周六季前赛辛辛那提站中右膝受伤的线卫内菲·苏厄尔列入伤病储备名单。他们还签下了最近效力于UFL路易斯维尔国王队的线卫安东尼奥·格里尔。
外接手布赖恩特将影响丹尼斯·艾伦防守协调员本赛季的部署。布赖恩特在8月3日膝伤后预计将缺阵4至6个月。
布赖恩特是熊队今年3月自由球员市场上最大的引援。他签下了一份为期3年、价值4000万美元的合同，此前刚随西雅图海鹰队赢得超级碗。他成为新阵容中安全位置的重要一员，有望与第25顺位新秀迪伦·西内曼搭档。
而现如今布赖恩特因伤缺阵，可能整个赛季都无法出战。
在布赖恩特受伤后，熊队正在寻找安全位置的解决方案，特别是在镍卫戈登因腓肠肌受伤高挂免战牌的情况下。西内曼势必将占据一个首发位置，但另一个首发位置仍存在竞争。
目前看来，卡姆·刘易斯似乎是最有希望赢得这一职位的人选，但熊队在布赖恩特受伤后不久又签下了泽维尔·伍兹。
刘易斯在两场季前赛中都首发出场——在训练中他也通常与主力一起训练——但他在季前赛中的出场时间与伍兹几乎相同，伍兹也在一线队中获得了不少出场机会。斯凯勒·托马斯也表现出色，主要在二线队中发挥作用，包括在周六对阵孟加拉虎队的比赛中完成一次抄截。
今年3月以自由球员身份加盟熊队的刘易斯此前效力于水牛城比尔队，从2019年未被选中到成为重要替补和特勤贡献者，他深知这个层级的竞争有多激烈。
“我不仅要在队内竞争，还要面对整个联盟的竞争，”刘易斯说，“这向来是我在NFL的看法。你的工作并非‘稳如泰山’。我总是怀揣着一颗争强好胜的心。所以我并不把这当回事。我会全力以赴，拼尽全力，帮助球队赢得比赛，结果如何自有定数。”
布赖恩特受伤之初，所有人的目光都聚焦在刘易斯身上。但熊队在8月7日——布赖恩特接受膝盖手术的同一天——签下了伍兹。伍兹与熊队防守背锅教练阿尔·哈里斯有过合作经历，后者在2020年曾担任他在达拉斯牛仔队时的位置教练。
伍兹在9年NFL生涯中完成121次首发，包括上赛季在田纳西泰坦队的10次首发。在此之前，他曾在达拉斯效力4年、明尼苏达1年、卡罗来纳3年。
“他非常职业，训练也非常刻苦，”哈里斯说，“甚至早在2020年，他就是个成熟的球员。他现在为我们做得非常出色。”
刘易斯表示伍兹话不多，但足球本能非常突出。
在周二训练的最后一节，伍兹在面对三线四分卫凯斯·基南时完成抄截，后者试图将球传向接收手卡登·戴维斯。伍兹在更早前的训练中也险些抄截，当时泰森·本根在双人包夹下传球。
“他是个非常本能的球员，”刘易斯说，“经验丰富，在多个防守体系中都有过磨炼，所以每当他开口说话，我总会向他请教。但他确实是个优秀的球员。我很高兴球队又引进了一位这样的球员。”
伍兹在周二的球队抄截表现显著，这正是刘易斯希望自己做得更多的地方。他目前可能是最有希望的球员，但他知道伍兹和其他人正在等待机会。
我不觉得我在训练营中完成了足够多的防守动作，”刘易斯在谈及训练营时表示，“我的沟通工作做得还算不错，但我不清楚，就是感觉有点不太顺。你知道，我还在学习防守，了解（艾伦）希望如何布置防守。
“不过在之前的几个训练营（在布法罗时），我觉得自己完成了更多的防守动作，所以感觉会更好一些。总体而言，教练组可能觉得这是一次相当不错的训练营，但对我来说，感觉并非如此。”
本周，随着周四的联合训练和周六的季前赛决赛，将在很大程度上决定谁将在9月13日担任安全卫首发。
白袜队正在克服先发投手困境

撰文：拉蒙德·波普 《芝加哥论坛报》
白袜队先发投手肖恩·伯克在8月初遇到了一些瓶颈。
“（8月16日）在底特律的那场比赛可能是我身体感觉最差的一次，”他于周二告诉《论坛报》，“并不是真的很痛，更像是一种‘尸体般’的无力感，手臂发木。”
这位右投手与训练师和体能团队进行了沟通。
“（我们）在一周内找到了一些调整和改进的方法，就是为了让我的身体在投球当天感觉良好，”伯克说。
伯克表示，在上一场对阵纽约大都会队的比赛中，他感觉“又真的不错了”。
“肯定是趋势在向上，我感觉不错，”伯克说。他定于周三对阵德州游骑兵队的系列赛收官战中首发。
一个健康且高效的先发投手阵容对于白袜队争夺分区冠军至关重要。截至周二比赛前，球队在美联中区领先第二名克利夫兰守护者队2½场。
“就像每年一样，你会发现一些阶段中你对投手阵容和牛棚的状态感到非常满意，但有时也会感到有些不稳定，你只能努力坚持下去，”主教练威尔·韦纳布尔在周二比赛前表示，“无论如何，今天的任务就是找到赢球的方法。我认为我们已经做得很好了，无论整体投手情况如何，我们都能为今晚的比赛找到出路。”
“这就是我们将继续努力的方向。”
先发投手能多投一些局会更有帮助。截至周二，白袜队先发投手仅投出561局，在大联盟中排名垫底——这一数字部分受到他们偶尔使用“开局投手”战术的影响。
但缺乏投球局数意味着牛棚承担了大量工作，正如周一的情况：先发投手何塞·乌奎迪在对阵游骑兵队的比赛中仅投3局就被打5分，最终球队以2比11失利。乌奎迪投出4次保送并击中2名击球员。
这是白袜队在三场比赛中第二次先发投手未能投完第四局。路易斯·卡斯蒂略在周六的出场更短，在对阵大都会队的比赛中仅投2½局就被打4分，最终球队以5比10失利。
自8月1日从西雅图水手队交易加盟以来，卡斯蒂略在4次先发中防御率为5.89。他在8月12日对阵辛辛那提红人队的比赛中表现出色，仅被击出1安打并投出10次三振，完封7局。但他在最近两次先发中未能投完5局。
安东尼·凯伊是本月球队表现最出色的先发投手。这位左投在进入周二先发前，过去4次出场防御率为2.66。在此期间，他投出17次三振和4次保送，共投23½局，其中3场比赛至少投满6局。
在8月16日对阵老虎队仅投4⅓局后，伯克从周五对阵大都会队的比赛中汲取了一些积极信号。他投出6局，被击出7安打、失4分，投出4次三振且无保送。
“结果不是我想要的，但就投球感觉、状态和对多种投球的控制而言，我对自己感到满意，”他说，“如果你告诉我，任何时候我出场都能投6局、无保送且75% 的球都在好球带内，我会抓住这个机会争取一场好球。”
尽管并非总是担任技术意义上的先发，但乌奎迪和费德在过去几周中作为“长中继投手”有所表现。
费德在本月初从先发转为牛棚后，在最近两次登板中投出8⅔局无失分，此前均为“开局投手”出场。
芝加哥论坛报
8月19日，乌奎迪在面对小熊队时完封对手，在6局救援中三振8次，仅让对手击出2支安打。但在周一他首次以先发投手身份登板（自2023年9月29日效力休斯敦太空人队以来）时，投球数急剧上升——仅3局就投了93个球。
白袜队因先发投手戴维斯·马丁进入伤病名单而不得不进行人员调整。这位右手投手自8月14日以来一直因右手中指水泡伤缺阵，目前正在逐步恢复。
即便如此，白袜队仍将注意力集中在当前任务上。
“我们只需要弄清楚今天该做什么，”维纳布尔说，“这就是我们的心态。”
白袜队将救援投手华斯卡·布拉索班列入15天伤病名单
在周二比赛前，白袜队宣布救援投手华斯卡·布拉索班因左侧背阔肌拉伤进入15天伤病名单。为腾出 roster 空间，球队从三A夏洛特召回了右手投手乔纳森·坎农。
自8月3日从纽约大都会队交易获得布拉索班以来，他在10次救援登场中防御率为6.30。
白袜队还将外野手安德鲁·贝宁滕迪列入治丧 / 家庭医疗紧急名单，并从夏洛特召回了内野手 / 外野手岸田六久。

布雷格曼因系统性击球方法重回佳境
作者：梅根·蒙特穆罗 《芝加哥论坛报》
菲尼克斯——今年5月中旬，正值状态低谷之际，小熊队三垒手亚历克斯·布雷格曼向主教练克雷格·康塞尔发送了一条短信。
布雷格曼在赛季初期状态不佳，面对中路或中路偏内的投球时常选择挥棒，于是他想向康塞尔解释自己的思路。
“当我感觉不好时，我会减少挥棒次数，因为我知道那样不对劲，”布雷格曼说，“只要我一做好准备动作，就知道不对劲，所以挥棒也不会成功。我不会挥空，而是会将球击出。我需要在机械动作上找到正确的感觉，而当我找到正确的机械动作后，一切就会好转。”
5月的这段短信交流源于一次关于击球的对话，讨论布雷格曼是否应在局数早期更积极挥棒，以及为何他认为这不是最佳方法。
“他的解释非常清晰，逻辑也很清晰，让我清楚地知道他将如何改进并解决问题，”康塞尔说，“他没有告诉我具体何时能恢复，但告诉我他会如何着手处理。他确实按照这个方法去做了，也确实解决了问题。”
好成绩在7月开始显现。布雷格曼在当月打出了赛季最佳的.263打击率和.825上垒长打率。
自那以来，布雷格曼的状态持续升温。自7月27日以来，他与MLB并列领先安打数（37次）和打点（25分），在全垒打（9支）和长打率（.664）上排名第二，上垒长打率（1.062）排名第三。
布雷格曼在8月的打击数据为.296打击率、.370上垒率和.972上垒长打率。
“赛季初真的很令人沮丧，因为我个人觉得，这并不是短暂的低迷期，”布雷格曼说，“我感觉这就是我作为棒球运动员的真实状态。那段经历让人沮丧。但我的看法是，我要找出问题所在，这样在未来10年的职业生涯中，我就不必再次面对这种情况。因为我觉得，如果你把它看作是在拼命追赶……”
“我想每个人在状态不佳时都会习惯性地这样想，但这会演变成你试图在一记安打中挽回整个赛季，而不是将每个打席都单独处理。我的看法是，我要为职业生涯的长远发展找到正确的方法。这在某种程度上减轻了我对每个打席都必须打出全垒打以挽回赛季的压力。”
布雷格曼表示，在击球和机械动作方面，他一直是一个非常注重“感觉”的人。
许多击球手更倾向于观察球的飞行轨迹，让球路告诉他们挥棒是否正确。而布雷格曼则依赖身体动作的内在反馈。无论是在新墨西哥州的高中时期、路易斯安那州立大学的大学时期，还是在职业生涯效力于休斯顿太空人队和波士顿红袜队期间，这位32岁的选手一直以这种方式思考自己的挥棒动作。
“我在每个打席中都会思考机械动作——大多数人不会这样，”布雷格曼说，“这有点不同。我认为这就是我试图表达的：相信我，我一直在这样做。我总是在思考机械动作，这并不是我在过度复杂化问题。通常，我只需一个机械动作要点，然后将其带入比赛。”
尽管经历了那段艰难的时期，他从未动摇过这个过程。尽管这个过程与大多数击球手不同，但他工作的一致性从未动摇。康塞尔和小熊队通过布雷格曼的挣扎以及这位老将为重新找回挥棒动作（进而提升进攻产出）所付出的努力，对他的了解也更加深入。
亚历克斯确实非常执着，真的，在谈论这件事的方式上，”康塞尔说，“我非常认可他这一点。他只是说，我在机械动作上做得不正确，我知道自己该怎么做。但我感受不到。当我能感受到时，我就能克服那种感觉，但现在我感受不到。
“他为了达到目标，工作起来毫不松懈。这个过程，是一个极其专注的专业人士的过程。这是一个极其耗时的过程，他为了修正问题、为了达到目标而经历的过程。而他在这一点上从未动摇过，你知道吗？从未动摇过，真的很有趣。”
小熊队 7，响尾蛇队 0，周一晚
高斯曼与小熊队展现潜在威胁
《芝加哥论坛报》记者 梅根·蒙特穆罗
凤凰城报道——凯文·高斯曼周一晚对阵亚利桑那响尾蛇队的比赛开局便显现出其策略。
这位小熊队右投手当晚大量使用四缝线快球，而对手似乎对此准备不足。高斯曼通常更依赖其劈球。但当晚其快球占比达66%，并凭借此招送出职业生涯最高的24次好球（裁判判定）。
这助力高斯曼在小熊队7-0完胜的比赛中投出7局无安打，这也是今年小熊队第四次有先发投手在无安打情况下投满7局。
不过，高斯曼并未透露小熊队何时察觉到响尾蛇队的策略，后者似乎在寻找其劈球。
“我可不会把这招拱手相让，毕竟其他人也在观察呢。”面带微笑的高斯曼说道，“但我们很早就察觉到他们的策略。”
高斯曼称捕手卡森·凯利“打了一场漂亮的比赛”，并意识到当对手两击不中时，亚利桑那的击球手可能会寻找劈球。
“今天我们在两击情况下仍投出了数次快球，这很不错。”高斯曼说，“能有足够的控球能力大量投掷这种球，并早早确认比赛所需——这很棒。所以，我们就用手上的武器。”
高斯曼的快球控制在其用球策略中扮演关键角色。他开局15个首球中有13个命中好球，而亚利桑那虽将其11个快球打入比赛，但仅有两个形成安打。在自2015年Statcast数据时代以来，仅有一位投手在四缝线快球上获得的好球数超过高斯曼当晚的24次（德鲁·哈钦森在2015年送出25次）。
他将此归功于赛间牛棚训练对控球能力的磨砺。
“我是个两球种投手，所以次级球会投很多。”高斯曼说，“今晚我们识别出对手的策略并保持进攻——识别到这一点很重要，但若控球不稳，可能无法做到。今晚一切都很到位，这很不错。”
高斯曼的表现正是小熊队在交易截止日交易他时所期待的。加之克莱·霍姆斯近期在两场先发中仅让1分跑回，且12局投球仅失1分，小熊队可能在常规赛收官阶段和季后赛中拥有一对强力投手组合。
而近期左投马修·博伊德和松田翔太的状态不稳，这对组合的价值可能进一步凸显。
“他是个充满活力的家伙，工作态度很棒。”凯利如此评价高斯曼，“他的职业生涯很长，是个真正的专业人士，而且渴望接球。你能从每局中看到这一点。他似乎越投越强，这正是我们队友可以学习并建立信心的地方。”
高斯曼去年10月在多伦多蓝鸟队时便展现出此等能力，助球队闯入世界系列赛。今年6月19日，当小熊队在前五棒仅2-for-18且三次三振的情况下，仍凭借深度打线给他制造压力——他被击出7安打、4次保送并在两局内被击垮。
“他们的进攻无懈可击，从一号到九号。”高斯曼说，“这套阵容没有任何漏洞。”
小熊队新秀佩德罗·拉米雷斯在当晚22岁生日当天，击出带有1分打点的三垒安打，助球队取得领先，全场2安打，打击率为.290。铃木誓志在第五局的二垒安打又添一分，而小熊队的火力在第六局爆发——迈克尔·康福托和凯利连续轰出本垒打，奠定了五分领先优势。
伊恩·哈普（RBI二垒安打）与尼科·霍尔纳（牺牲飞球）在下一局继续得分。芝加哥小熊队（76胜56负）通过不同方式利用了亚利桑那响尾蛇队投手的失误。
The Cubs are getting the type of buy-in throughout the roster that's needed for a team looking to make a deeper postseason run than last year. Manager Craig Counsell believes Conforto's willingness to embrace his role, one that's much different from his everyday presence in the lineup for most of his career, set the tone for that early in the season.

■ 教士队：一名在德克萨斯州被联邦移民执法官员拘留的教士队小联盟教练已获保释回家。其家人于周二表示，来自委内瑞拉并在亚利桑那州居住的奥斯瓦尔多·皮雷拉于8月16日在埃尔帕索国际机场被拘留后，于周一获释并已与家人团聚。教士队也证实皮雷拉——其小联盟体系中的捕手协调员——已不再被羁押，并表示：“我们很高兴奥斯瓦尔多·皮雷拉已获保释并与家人团聚。出于对其隐私及相关事宜的尊重，我们目前无可奉告。”皮雷拉于2014年合法进入美国，国土安全部此前表示他在2018年后“逾期滞留”。其家人对国土安全部的说法提出异议，称皮雷拉已申请庇护并获得工作许可。国土安全部未立即回应周二寻求置评的消息。皮雷拉曾在游骑兵队组织的小联盟中短暂担任捕手。

在其失踪后被列入限制名单，但随后因左膝轻微发炎被转至10天伤病名单。“我们正在考虑的就是这些，”主教练说，“我认为那将是第10天或第11天，所以我们肯定有策略让他重返赛场、恢复健康。”他于周一在球队位于亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的训练基地开始击球练习，击球教练对这位32岁老将的进展感到鼓舞。这位球员仍未向队友说明他为何在季后赛关键期中途离队。这是他连续第二年从球队突然失踪。去年，他在全明星赛后因家中（位于亚利桑那州）遭入室抢劫而被列入限制名单。他在飞回多米尼加共和国老家后错过了三场比赛，随后为缺席致歉。主教练表示这位球员为人非常低调，球队会在合适时间让他与队友沟通。“我们正试图为他营造最柔和的环境，让他重新融入这个环境，”主教练说，“这取决于他如何选择。我无法强迫一个人做我想做或任何人想做的事，无论是球迷还是在座的任何人。”

■ 马林鱼队：终结者皮特·费尔班克斯在面对红袜队的客场比赛中仅上场对阵一名击球手后便因手臂神经刺激和麻木感离场，马林鱼队最终以4-2告负。费尔班克斯在4月27日也曾出现类似不适，当时他在道奇队的出场被提前中断，最终缺席了三周。这位32岁的费尔班克斯在与光芒队共度七个赛季后，与马林鱼队签下一年合约。他已出场44次，完成18次救援。——美联社
1991年：堪萨斯城的布雷特·萨伯哈根投出无安打比赛，帮助皇家队以7-0战胜芝加哥白袜队。萨伯哈根三振5人，保送2人。 1999年：兰迪·约翰逊在七局内投出九次三振，以创纪录速度达到300次三振，帮助亚利桑那响尾蛇队以12-2击败佛罗里达马林鱼队。他在第29次先发中达成这一里程碑。
2004年：铃木一朗在第九局击出本季第200支安打的全垒打，但西雅图水手队仍以7-3不敌堪萨斯城皇家队。一朗成为首位在职业生涯前四个赛季均达成200安打的球员。
1916年：费城的乔·布什投出无安打比赛，以5-0击败克利夫兰。 1939年：首场大联盟棒球比赛通过电视转播，WXBS将摄像机带到布鲁克林的埃贝茨球场，转播辛辛那提红人队与道奇队的双赛。
周一比赛结果
1947年：布鲁克林的丹·班克黑德成为大联盟首位黑人投手。他在首次大联盟打席就击出全垒打，但登板表现不佳。在3又1 / 3局的救援中，他被Pirates队轰出10支安打并丢6分责任分，最终Pirates以16-3大胜。
2007年：道尔顿·卡里克在第八局下半击出再见全垒打，帮助乔治亚州沃纳罗宾斯队以3-2险胜东京，赢得小联盟世界系列赛冠军。 2007年：波士顿红袜队以11-1击败芝加哥白袜队，完成四连胜。系列赛中，红袜队以46-7的比分碾压白袜队。红袜队在系列赛每场至少得到10分，这是自1900年以来第四次在四连胜中达成，也是美国联盟85年来首次。
1987年：密尔沃基酿酒人队的保罗·莫里托在39场连续安打后以0-for-4收场，球队在延长赛第十局凭借里克·曼宁的制胜安打单局1-0险胜克利夫兰印第安人队。当莫里托在本垒圈等待可能的第五次打席时，曼宁击出制胜安打。

1962年：明尼苏达双城队的杰克·克拉利克在大都会体育场投出1-0无安打比赛，对手为堪萨斯城运动家队。莱尼·格林在第七局通过牺牲飞球为双城队带回唯一一分，击球手为比尔·菲舍尔。
波士顿4，迈阿密2
2008年：美国职棒大联盟宣布，裁判将从8月27日起被允许通过录像回放检查全垒打判罚。录像仅用于所谓“边界判罚”，例如判断飞球是否越过围栏、潜在全垒打是否为界内球或界外球，以及潜在全垒打是否涉及球迷干扰。 2010年：圣路易斯的阿尔伯特·普霍尔斯在第四局击出职业生涯第400支全垒打，投手为华盛顿国民队的乔丹·齐默尔曼。普霍尔斯成为第47位达成这一成就的大联盟球员，也是继亚历克斯·罗德里格斯和肯·格里菲之后第三年轻的球员。 2018年：玛娜·劳·康在第五局首个打席就击出中外野全垒打，卡欧鲁·霍尔特投出完投，帮助夏威夷队以3-0击败韩国，赢得小联盟世界系列赛冠军。

“除非‘他能向我们证明他能遵守我们的规定且不会构成潜在威胁’。”
“在我看来，我们现在还在讨论这件事本身就很可悲，”阿尔特说，“我们把这么多时间花在这上面，而不是去关注联盟中那些美好的事物——甚至是一些不太美好的事情，比如天空队连续第三年无缘季后赛。我敢肯定，这些才是我们应该讨论的话题。”
阿尔特表示，球队是在前球员的经纪人向天空队总经理杰夫·帕格利奥卡发送短信后，才得知坎特·弗里德姆将出席周日比赛。帕格利奥卡在担任球员发展专家期间曾与坎特·弗里德姆共事，当时后者仍是一名现役运动员。阿尔特说，两人的合作关系在2018或2019年结束，之后除了有一次简短的短信交流外，他们再未互动过。
在周二接受福克斯新闻采访时，坎特·弗里德姆表示他已联系帕格利奥卡告知出席意图，并收到了帕格利奥卡欢迎他观赛的回复。阿尔特对此予以否认，称坎特·弗里德姆的经纪人于周日下午2:30左右发送了以下信息：
“杰夫，我是汉克（这是埃尼斯的经纪人）。我的号码换了。你一向待我公平，所以我觉得应该提前通知你一声。埃尼斯和我今晚会去天空队的比赛。希望你一切都好。”
阿尔特表示，帕格利奥卡在得知此事后向天空队通报，并在大约一小时后回复：“感谢短信。”
“外界有很多信息——其中很多来自坎特·弗里德姆——关于所发生的事情，”阿尔特说，“其中大部分要么是彻头彻尾的谎言，要么是误导性信息。”
坎特·弗里德姆以化名购买了场边门票——阿尔特表示，看起来是第三方代为购买——这意味着球队安保人员直到他到场前都不知道他会坐在哪里。
阿尔特强调，帕格利奥卡周日并未与坎特·弗里德姆有任何互动，并补充说帕格利奥卡在得知坎特·弗里德姆出现在福克斯新闻后“感到震惊和意外”。
“天空队的一位官员在声明中表示：‘不用说，杰夫并不认可埃尼斯·坎特（弗里德姆）。’”
当天空队安保人员找到坎特·弗里德姆的座位后，在其基准线附近的空座位上安排了一名保镖。由于此前与热浪队比赛中存在的紧张局势，天空队为此聘请了2名额外的保镖加入当日两人制安保团队。
阿尔特表示，额外的人员配置——以及与热浪队、联盟、场馆安保和芝加哥警方的协调——让他确信球队能够在坎特·弗里德姆越界时迅速介入。阿尔特说，他预料到坎特·弗里德姆一看到发给帕格利奥卡的短信就会挑事。
“他此前从未观看过天空队的比赛，”阿尔特说，“我们很清楚，他此行的目的是试图挑衅，看看能引起多少关注并煽动事端。”
阿尔特还反驳了坎特·弗里德姆对克劳德在第三节挑起冲突的说法。阿尔特表示，根据几位坐在坎特·弗里德姆附近的人的说法，这名前NBA球员在整个第三节都在对他进行挑衅。尽管这些只是篮球相关的嘲讽，但阿尔特认为坎特·弗里ed姆是在试图挑起冲突。
阿尔特表示，由于对球员构成潜在威胁，走向球场的行为构成可驱逐动作。热浪队的一名安保人员率先介入并做出了这一判断。阿尔特说，比赛官员也要求将坎特·弗里德姆清出场外，以维护安全的比赛环境。
Upon reflection, Alter said his only regret was not warning players in advance. The Sky didn't learn that Kanter Freedom would be seated on the front row behind the baseline until less than 90 minutes before tipoff. With the team on the brink of playoff elimination, Alter elected not to inform players out of fear that it would distract from the game.
The Sky will not prevent similar activists or agitators from attending games, although Alter said he hopes the security response will deter similar actions. He said the team doesn't aim to prevent fans from attending based on their beliefs or identities but will enforce the fan code of conduct in similar circumstances.
Alter denounced Kanter Freedom as a bad-faith actor and questioned the sincerity of his concerns about transgender women in sports. He also emphasized the importance of defending a safe environment for Sky fans at their home arena.
"I'm thrilled we have fans who are trans and they love coming to the arena and they feel safe and supported," Alter said. "'s a wonderful thing. 's something we're proud of and 's something want to continue to encourage and want to make sure are safe and do everything can.
“Sincerely, want everyone — regardless of who are, what are — to feel way.”
SEC、十大联盟通过禁止职业球员回归的规则
新闻服务
东南联盟（SEC）周二通过了一项新规，禁止已被NFL、NBA或WNBA球队选中或列入这些联盟名单的球员回归大学。该联盟加入十大联盟（Big Ten），对本月意外激增的试图重返大学的职业球员采取强硬立场。
SEC的规则与十大联盟此前发布的决定有所不同——十大联盟的规则仅涵盖足球，而SEC的规则预计将扩展至其他运动项目。
这是本周令人眼花缭乱的一系列法庭裁决、紧急规则制定会议和球员签约的最新动态，所有这些都表明大学体育格局陷入混乱。在美式足球赛季开始前四天，全国两大联盟的举措意在平息这场涉及已从职业球队回归大学的球员的最新危机。
SEC的新规向LSU发出警告。本周，老虎队主教练莱恩·基弗尼（Lane Kiffin）签下了达奎安·赖特（Dae'Quan Wright）和泽维安·哈里斯（Zxavian Harris），这两名未被选中的密西西比州球员今年夏天参加了NFL试训，但在训练营期间被球队释放。
该规则还适用于被NBA G联盟签约的球员，这将影响R.J.路易斯·朱尼尔（R.J. Luis Jr.）。他于周一赢得法庭裁决，得以加入LSU篮球项目，尽管他曾短暂与爵士队和凯尔特人队签约。
十大联盟对违反其规则的处罚包括主教练半赛季禁赛以及对学校处以罚款。SEC尚未公布具体处罚措施，但预计专员格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）将在确定处罚时拥有广泛的自由裁量权。
NFL：四分卫帕特里克·马霍姆斯（Patrick Mahomes）认为自己已准备好在9月14日首周“周一晚橄榄球”揭幕战中首发，对阵野马队。马霍姆斯下个月即将年满31岁，他在上赛季末撕裂了前交叉韧带和外侧副韧带。……据ESPN报道，司令官队正在签下老将外截锋D.J.汉弗莱斯（D.J. Humphries）。

里瑟两次打破WNBA篮板纪录
在周一洛杉矶的一场比赛中，天梦队以78比71击败闪电队，安吉尔·里瑟（Angel Reese）不仅创下WNBA单场26个篮板的联盟纪录，还在同一场比赛中超越赛季篮板纪录。她告诉赛后节目：“上次我在这里时，投篮全中。今晚我什么都投不进，所以我知道篮板球会很多。”这位24岁的球员超越了名人堂成员查米克·霍尔德斯克劳（Chamique Holdsclaw）于2003年5月23日为神秘队创造的24个篮板纪录。她本赛季已抢下458个篮板，比A'ja·威尔逊（A'ja Wilson）在2024赛季创造的纪录多7个。里瑟在比赛还剩13.9秒时通过一次得分锁定了本赛季第27次“两双”，得到11分。“这简直是天赋，”天梦队后卫阿莉莎·格雷（Allisha Gray）表示，“我在惊叹地观看她抢篮板。”作为三届全明星球员，里瑟在2024赛季以场均13.1个篮板创下新秀纪录，并以连续15场“两双”打破联盟历史纪录。她在职业生涯前两个赛季均领跑联盟篮板榜，本赛季目前场均篮板数为12.0个。

诅咒制造者：威廉“山羊比利”西安尼斯
威廉姆斯和阿尔卡拉斯在周二于纽约的混合双打四分之一决赛中被贝琳达·本西奇和弗拉维奥·科博利以5比4（4比4），4比1击败。赛前科博利曾称他们的对手为“网球女王与当代之王”。威廉姆斯和阿尔卡拉斯在首轮慢热后反弹，以5比3、4比1击败埃林·劳特利夫和劳埃德·格拉斯普尔，令阿瑟·阿什体育场内的球迷欣喜若狂。“我从未想过能重返赛场，”威廉姆斯在自2022年来首次亮相弗拉兴草地网球中心后表示。现在的问题是她是否会与姐姐维纳斯搭档参加女子双打比赛。塞雷娜·威廉姆斯重返赛场但不计划参加单打比赛。前三轮比赛采用四局制，4比4时进行附加决胜局，并以10分制决胜局取代第三盘。仅周三晚的决赛将采用六局制。
球场老板因芝加哥小熊队未允许他的山羊观看1945年世界系列赛而下了著名的“山羊比利诅咒”。这成为体育史上最伟大的传奇之一。这一传奇因其侄子山姆·西安尼斯在21世纪的传播而声名远扬。

Tribune Co.聘请她身穿热裤并将芝士蛋糕带到球场，后于1986年因在《花花公子》杂志裸体亮相被解雇。“这是我今年看到她最好的制服外造型，”哈里·卡瑞评论道。三十年后，投手杰克·阿里埃塔在《ESPN杂志》裸体亮相，却未被解雇。
啤酒：老式啤酒
他发明了小熊队年会并邀请名人在七局下半进行开球仪式。有人坚称他发明了萨米·索萨，后者吸引了数百万球迷观看那些糟糕球队的比赛。
塞雷娜·威廉姆斯在缺席四年后重返美网赛场，卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯在因伤缺阵四个月后回归职业网球，为这项大满贯赛事带来欢呼与怀旧之情。庆祝声短暂即逝。在赢下首场比赛后，芝加哥球迷通常在第三局前就已酩酊大醉，直到1988年俱乐部停止在露天看台售卖啤酒，迫使人们不得不站起身来。
总经理：吉姆·亨德里
他在2000年代赢得三次分区冠军，改变了小熊队的叙事，直至Tribune Co.停止投资并在出售球队前收紧开支。

牧师：詹姆斯·格雷尼亚斯牧师
在2008年季后赛首战前，应小熊队高层邀请为“山羊比利诅咒”驱邪，后因俱乐部主席克兰·肯尼声称格雷尼亚斯自行邀请季后赛门票而将其公开。
球探：莫·马林斯
这位埃尔姆伍德帕克当地人自1958年以来一直坐在韦夫兰大道与肯莫尔大道交汇处的角落，等待棒球飞出球场与同伴一起接球。自安装电子屏幕后，几乎没有球能飞出球场。“类固醇时代对球探们非常有利，”马林斯曾宣称。
天台业主：艾登·邓尼坎
这位老派天台业主仍在与小熊队就天台权利对簿公堂，数十年来一直是里基茨家族的眼中钉。
酒吧老板：贝丝·墨菲
已故传奇酒吧老板墨菲的老板贝丝·墨菲，在努力抵制小熊队阻挡顶层观众视野的同时，将墨菲酒吧打造成了球迷赛前赛后必去的热门酒吧。
勒布朗·詹姆斯对高尔夫运动的热情日益增长，如今又与PGA巡回赛达成合作，将于明年夏天在其家乡俄亥俄州阿克伦的菲尔斯通乡村俱乐部举办为期两天的锦标赛，旻7月6日至7日在菲尔斯通乡村俱乐部的南球场举行，该球场不久前结束了长达72年的PGA巡回赛历史。赛事将包括导师制项目，让詹姆斯"I Promise"项目的学生与通过巡回赛"通往职业之路"五级体系晋级的球员建立联系，该体系为大学球员在倡导者职业高尔夫协会巡回赛中创造席位。现年41岁的詹姆斯近期与76人队签下为期两年的合同，最近还开通了自己的YouTube高尔夫频道，首个视频是与前骑士队队友前往苏格兰的高尔夫之旅。"高尔夫已成为我的一大爱好，我亲眼见证这项运动如何开启大门、建立关系并创造机会，而许多孩子甚至根本不知道这些机会的存在，"詹姆斯在声明中表示。"I Promise"项目服务于阿克伦地区的学生。——美联社

他在主裁判完成判罚前就已更新好球和坏球，至今仍是业界最佳。

作为小熊队史上唯一的世界大赛MVP，佐布里斯特当之无愧。
经典小吃店：YUM-YUM甜甜圈
当小熊队为翻修拆除了这家经典甜甜圈店时，他们永远改变了瑞格利维尔。如今，快餐连锁店和迎合"直男文化"的酒吧主导了这一街区。多谢了，小熊队。
让小熊队万岁™！

Soul & Smoke开设旗舰店

以备受赞誉的美国灵魂食物和烧烤闻名的Soul & Smoke，终于将开设期待已久的旗舰店。这家餐厅的设计灵感源自南区的根基，或许更令人意外的是，还融入了分子 gastronomy的元素。
这家重新构想的餐厅计划在经历多年延误后，于9月1日在埃文斯顿举办盛大开业典礼。
主厨D'Andre Carter和侍酒师Heather Bublick于2020年创立了一家仅提供外卖服务的公司。这对夫妇至今仍从事外卖业务，并在芝加哥拥有四个分店，其中包括Soldier Field的一个摊位。旗舰店将成为这家由黑人女性共同拥有的企业的首家全服务餐厅。
改造后的埃文斯顿Soul & Smoke将全天提供两种菜单：熟悉的favorites以及晚间的fine dining。
"我们真的希望这里能成为一个地方，让我们现有的顾客——那些来点一份肋骨套餐的人——能与享用生蚝和牛排全餐的客人同桌而坐，" Carter说。
他成长于经典的芝加哥风格烟熏肋骨尖和辣热狗香肠组合，但他用传统Duroc猪肉制作了自己的变种。
"我们真的希望将我们在fine dining和烧烤灵魂食物方面的背景结合起来，" who's also CEO的Bublick说。
多年前，在Bublick和Carter结婚生子之前，我就认识他们了。当时他们在Fulton Market的米其林星级餐厅Moto，在创新主厨Homaro Cantu手下工作。

厨师心中的可及世界——一次一餐
作者：Yewande Komolafe / 《纽约时报》
今年春季的一个下午，一位名为Lay Alston的厨师（现居加州圣迭戈）发来一份食谱。这道菜——用她所谓“shimi酱”裹住的炭烤虾——对任何水平的厨师来说都易于掌握。但她的指导方式别具一格：“一切从火开始，”她写道，“那种火焰会依附虾身，只为轻吻边缘，让虾变得焦黑而烟熏，中心却依然鲜嫩甜美。”
当我在纽约市布鲁克林区的厨房里读完步骤，我仿佛感受到她从千里之外向我传递的声音。我惊叹于她的指导方式、细节与热忱所承诺的体验，也对她这个人产生了浓厚兴趣。
在Instagram上，我看到Alston在厨房中忙碌，并主持着一档晚宴系列“Yaya's Crib”。在2020年遭遇脊髓损伤后，她和我一样，以轮椅为伴探索世界。观看她的视频时，我看到了一个完全实践着我仍在学习的生活方式的人。
今年夏天，当我与31岁的Alston通话时，我们聊起了对烹饪的共同热爱，以及过去在餐厅厨房的经历。她在纽约皇后区长大，家中九个孩子排行第7，每个周日全家都会聚在“奶奶的家”（她祖母的家）团聚。
“我学会了食物的力量，它如何将我们凝聚，在更深层次上连接彼此，”她说。
在“Yaya's Crib”的客人到来前，她会点燃一根palo santo，为即将开始的感官体验奠定基调。座位安排颇具用心：有时会将情侣分开，让陌生人间的用餐体验更具新意。随着晚宴的菜肴逐一端上，Alston引导食客将每道菜视为更大对话的一部分。她还为同桌用餐者提供卡片，内含话题提示，助力交流。
对客人的无障碍接待是她的首要考量。她会为轮椅使用者移开椅子（她梦想未来能拥有高度可调的餐桌），并为视障客人提供盲文菜单。她还希望未来能为听障客人提供相应服务。
这些细节源于她自己作为轮椅使用者在外用餐的切身体验。她描述道，外出用餐时常无法舒适地坐在餐桌前，自己与餐盘间总有尴尬的距离。
她的康复之路始于震惊、悲伤、难以置信与无法回答的问题——这也是我所理解的大多数康复的起点。“我在哀悼自己的能力，哀悼构成我的一切，”她说。Alston曾怀疑自己如何重返熟悉的职场；对她而言，食物行业的未来一度像是不可能的梦。
康复之旅的转折点出现在她探访康复中心厨房的那次经历。在理疗师的陪同下，她去测试自己能否在家中独立烹饪。她将切菜板放在腿上，利用能够到的烤箱一层搁架，做出了一道烤三文鱼、土豆和西兰花的餐食。
“作为一名‘坐姿’厨师，我的生活会是什么样？”这个问题，以及“Yaya’s Crib”的雏形，渐渐清晰起来。（她还在每月通讯《Lomein Letters》中分享心得。）谈及伤后不久便重返烹饪，她肯定了食物的治愈力量：“它在很多方面拯救了我。‘通过主持晚宴和快闪餐厅，我重新找到了人生目标。’”
如今，她几乎无法够到冰箱的顶层搁架，只能用夹子取物。在职业生涯中长期于餐厅地下厨房工作后，她设想打造一个空间
厨师莱·奥尔斯顿（Lay Alston）是一位无障碍倡导者、烹饪教育家和演讲者。7月5日，她在圣地亚哥The Wyatt Makers Quarter的厨房中接受拍摄。脊髓损伤后，她无法行走，于是重拾对聚餐的热爱。图片来源：Ariana Drehsler / 《纽约时报》
要做到可及、定制且有意图，让她能够“自如且自信地移动和操作”。冰箱应为可滑动式；台面应为可滑动式。
左图：7月5日，奥尔斯顿在圣地亚哥的“Yaya's Crib”小型晚宴系列中，为客人端上加入薄荷的绿茶。右图：晚宴上供应的日式便当风格烤鲭鱼配脆皮土豆沙拉。
上层橱柜若存在，应通过遥控从墙面降下。储藏室应为可滑动式衣柜而非传统橱柜。
“随着我在受伤后对世界的体验越来越多，我越发认为，‘那本可以是一个简单的解决方案，’”她说，“甚至都算不上解决方案。那本可以从一开始就被有意识地设计出来。”创造全新的厨房、餐厅、餐饮空间和用餐区域早已迫在眉睫。
我出院已两年，回到厨房也仅一年。在与奥尔斯顿交谈后，我对前路的模糊部分开始有了更清晰的认识。她所做的工作远不止一道菜能够诠释，但她的“西米”酱虾不失为一个起点。
“我一直说烹饪是我的热情，”奥尔斯顿说，“但它也是通往我启迪他人超越挑战、活出生命意义的使命的桥梁。”
炭烤虾配“希米”酱

厨师莱·阿尔斯顿的招牌菜式之一——“希米”酱，是一道以香草为主的调味料，灵感源自智利辣酱 chimichurri，但她加入了自己的独特创意：用泰国小米辣增添辣味，加入少许味噌和椰子糖带来温和的甜味，再添加鱼露以增强鲜味。这种五彩缤纷的酱料凝聚力强，用青柠汁调和后酸味十足。酱料在这里完美包裹虾肉，也可用于其他海鲜、肉类或蔬菜。阿尔斯顿经常在她的快闪餐厅“Yaya’s Crib”供应这道菜，该餐厅在圣地亚哥的厨房空间举办，致力于为她和客人创造平价的烹饪空间。她建议炭烤虾时要耐心：“当虾子入锅时，锅会发出嘶嘶声……刹那间，厨房里充满了大海与热量相遇的清新咸香。这道工序不能着急，你要让虾子告诉你它们什么时候准备好了。”阿尔斯顿建议将虾与温热的茉莉米饭和夏日沙拉一同端上：“炭烤玉米、多汁的番茄和成熟芒果——那芒果的甜美仿佛阳光多停留了一会儿。”
份量：4人份 总用时：35分钟 材料： 4瓣大蒜，粗略切碎 2至3个泰国小米辣，可保留或去籽 1块（约0.5英寸）新鲜姜，刮皮后粗略切碎（约2茶匙） 1个 shallot，对半切开后粗略切碎 4片新鲜百里香叶 1束新鲜香菜，修整后粗略切碎（约2杯）
1小束新鲜薄荷，叶子摘下后粗略切碎（约3 / 4杯） 2根葱，切薄片 2个青柠（1个用于削皮和榨汁，1个切成楔形用于佐餐） 1汤匙椰子糖或浅棕糖 2汤匙鱼露 1茶匙白味噌 适量盐和白胡椒 2汤匙红花籽油、菜籽油或葵花籽油，另备少许刷锅用
适量盐和白胡椒 1磅带皮或去皮大虾（尾巴可留可去） 蒸熟的茉莉米饭，用于佐餐
步骤： 1. 在食品加工机中，将大蒜、泰国小米辣、姜、shallot和百里香叶子混合，搅拌约1分钟，然后移至中碗。将香菜、薄荷和葱放入食品加工机，搅拌并刮边一次，直至香草呈五彩碎屑状，约2分钟。将切碎的香草移至同一碗中，搅拌混合，再加入青柠皮和汁液。
-
接下来加入椰子糖，边搅拌边缓慢溶解，柔化酱料的辛辣。随后加入鱼露，其深沉的鲜味为整体增色，让酱料不再轻浮。白味噌悄然融入，几乎消失无踪，却改变了它所触及的一切。尝一尝：不妨尝上一次、两次，甚至三次。它应当以层层风味袭来：先是明亮的柑橘，接着是辣味，最后是某种更深沉的滋味，让你不由多停留半秒。用盐和胡椒轻轻调味，直到它鲜活起来。这就是你的“希米”酱。暂时放置备用。
-
现在轮到虾了：在中碗中，将虾与2汤匙油拌匀，轻撒适量盐。
-
将一个大号（10至12英寸）铸铁平底锅或大号烤盘用大火加热。等锅足够热，让你犹豫片刻才敢下手，但还是要动手，加热2至3分钟。用蘸过油的纸巾轻轻擦拭锅面。油会闪闪发亮并开始轻轻冒烟。（或者，将烤架加热至中高火。用蘸过油的纸巾轻轻擦拭烤架。） 5. 将虾以单层铺在锅中，让它们自然煎熟，不要翻动。虾边缘应恰到好处地微微烤焦，提醒你火候是这道菜的关键，约需4分钟。快速翻面，再在热锅中煎1分钟。将虾从热锅中取出，放入盛有酱汁的碗中。（余热会将虾完全煮熟。）若锅较小，分批操作。 6. 现在，将温热的虾与酱汁拌匀。观察酱汁粘附、滑动并积聚在每一道沟壑和曲线上，约需2分钟。香草在热量下会稍稍软化，释放油脂融入酱汁，仿佛它们一直在等待这一刻。 7. 趁热立即食用，配以温热的茉莉米饭和挤汁用的酸橙瓣。

在埃文斯顿的Soul & Smoke餐厅，用烟熏牛尾肉包裹面包，覆以炖羽衣甘蓝和芝麻籽（作为“灰烬”），制成的牛尾雪茄。
（来自E1版）
“Soul & Smoke基本上就是我梦想中的餐厅，”卡特在谈及这家新旗舰店时说，“这是现代烧烤，触及一些家传食谱。”
那为什么拖了这么久？
“我们的店在一栋百年谷仓里，”布利克说，“我们最早在2016年搬进这栋楼。”
他们租下了昔日乳品仓库改建的校车车库，并于2020年2月买下这栋楼。随后一个月因新冠疫情关闭，餐厅转型后意外大获成功。
“我们改造了旧活动空间，原以为会容易得多，”她补充道，“我们以为可以享受祖父条款。”
那里原本就是一间持证厨房空间，但后来消防排烟罩、喷淋系统和屋顶的法规要求不断更新，还包括19项其他变更。
“财务状况也变了，因为成本越来越高，”卡特说，“我们被关税困住了。”
“我们在关税生效当天就重新融资来完成所有改造，”布利克说，“我们至今没有任何投资者，所以全靠自己实在很有挑战性。”
他们仍制作招牌烟熏牛腩，但会以最动人的方式挑战烧烤理念——推出一道牛尾雪茄，以纪念已故的坎图。
“他是我的导师，”卡特说，“在奥马尔去世前，他同意我和希瑟做这道菜。”
但这位弟子出身的烤肉大师想为这道外形酷似燃烧雪茄的菜品加入自己的创意，它最初是古巴三明治的戏谑变形。
“我们用了烟熏牛尾肉包裹面包，再覆以炖羽衣甘蓝，”这位主厨说，“火候就是我原创的烧烤酱，再用黑白芝麻籽模拟成灰烬。”
用切割水晶复古烟灰缸盛放，这道菜重新诠释了芝加哥经典风格。
“我对这道烤比目鱼颈配姜黄酱（我姨妈吉妮·让提的食谱）特别兴奋，”卡特说，“我希望人们能拿起来拖过酱汁，享受带骨的体验。”
他与糕点顾问凯西·多迪合作设计甜品，由糕点师珍妮丝·埃斯皮诺在店内制作。包括一道“摩天”式红薯派（红薯馅配Graham cracker饼干底，顶部覆以高耸的焦糖蛋白霜）、一道霍霍思inspired巧克力瑞士卷，以及一道桃子cobble。
不过，卡特为已故的弟弟添加了一道施普雷彻啤酒公司生产的根啤浮冰，这是他弟弟生前最爱的汽水。
我真的很期待那些复古鸡尾酒，”布利克说起了“长岛冰茶”和荔枝马丁尼，“而且我们还特别注重本地啤酒；我们仍然有与《Sketchbook》合作的‘Beer For The Soul’，但这是我们第一次将它直接以生啤形式供应。”
饮品计划还重点关注女性、黑人、原住民及有色人种的生产商和企业。
无酒精饮品包括用Rare Tea Cellar茶叶冲泡的冰茶、自制柠檬水，以及紫色“野猫”柠檬水和菠萝椰奶冰沙等口味的冰沙。
餐厅虽位于埃文斯顿，但设计却处处体现这座城市的特色。
“当你第一次走进来时，入口处就有铁丝网栅栏，”布利克说，“让人感觉像是走在芝加哥的后巷，还能看到后院烧烤正在进行中。”

“接待台看起来像是奶奶的衣柜，但现代又时髦，”她说，“然后你会看到那些烟熏设备。”
他们买下了一对亮红色、10英尺长的山核桃和樱桃木燃烧式偏置熏烟器，由达拉斯传奇制造商A.N. Bewley打造。
“沿着厨房柜台有一些座位，”她补充道，“我们称之为‘主厨柜台’。”
餐厅可容纳175人，将提供预订服务。
“我们还在空间内布置了很多艺术品，讲述这栋建筑和我们社区的故事，”布利克说，“埃文斯顿因拥有全国首个补偿计划而闻名，这在很大程度上要归功于这个社区曾经历的红线政策。”
罗宾逊企业是全国最早和最大的黑人-owned交通公司之一，在家族族长于2019年去世后，决定将这栋建筑出售给这对餐厅经营者。
“你首先看到的是我们搬进来的‘熊冠军’壁画，上面有一辆罗宾逊公交车，”布利克说，“我们真的希望能将街头艺术与精致艺术很好地结合起来。”
艺术家JC·里韦拉创作的戴拳击手套的熊形象在城市的街头壁画中随处可见。
电视屏幕将播放迈克尔·乔丹时代的公牛队篮球比赛，以及任何体育赛事的最大决赛直播。DJ精心挑选的播放列表在白天播放R&B，夜晚则转向更多嘻哈音乐。
新的Soul & Smoke餐厅将设有户外座位，旁边是艺术家Bianca Pastel创作的壁画“Soul & Fire”，紧邻他们的社区冰箱。
“这是受这个社区的孩子们启发的，”布利克说，“三个女孩在滑梯上滑下的画面。”
这对夫妇希望分享他们的怀旧与快乐。
“在打造梦想餐厅的过程中，我们也必须努力生存下来，”卡特说，“而且我们还有很多在疫情期间留下来的员工。”
他补充道，他们只是两个在芝加哥一家餐厅工作时相遇的人。
“这一切对我们来说都太特别了。”

罗斯福市民会场的救援行动。
这位社交媒体网红、底特律原居民现居德州，因简洁有效的美食评测而走红。他于周五在社交媒体视频中宣布合作时解释，团队原计划举办美食巡游和音乐节，但在得知风暴后彻底改变行动方向——当地家庭已近两周无电。
“灾情发生的那一刻，一切都变了。”周一李在接受《论坛报》采访时表示，他身穿救世军红色志愿者服装协助发放物资，“我们怎能在中西部举办美食节，而盖瑞市民却在停电且无人关注？”
李在TikTok拥有1700万粉丝，Instagram也有数百万粉丝，其影响力在现场显而易见。
“Keith Lee！天啊！”一名女子在几码外看到他时尖叫起来。当地居民可选择排长队驱车领取救援包，或步行至田野另一端的救世军卡车领取。
李向盖瑞居民捐赠约15,000美元用于救援物资，印第安纳步行者队明星泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿再捐15,000美元，总计30,000美元。
救世军的灾害救援包包括扫帚、拖把、刷子等清洁用品，以及液体消毒剂、家用清洁剂、工作手套、N95口罩和超厚垃圾袋。志愿者还分发三明治、薯片和饮料。
款项还用于罗斯福会场停车场的多辆餐车，该场地被改造成免费节日现场，配有DJ和墨西哥卷饼、热狗、汉堡、炸鸡翅等美食。
“中西部人民的特别之处在于，无论家中经历何种动荡或磨难，他们仍能面带微笑。”李说，“如果你来到这里，根本不会知道发生了什么——只会觉得我们在举办后院派对。”
多拉·罗杰斯（Dora Rogers）是一位在盖瑞居住50年的居民，住所距现场仅几个街区。她协助引导数百名前来领取救援包的民众，并指引他们前往音乐和美食区。
她家中已停电约14天。

可定制的鸡蛋早餐，忙碌早晨的完美选择
作者：克里斯汀·加拉里
我女儿喜欢甜味早餐，但我坚持每周几次吃咸味早餐。通常，这种早餐就是鸡蛋玉米饼，因为我总是在冰箱冷冻室里备有玉米饼，以备墨西哥卷饼之夜或墨西哥煎饼之用。
这道超级快速、简单的食谱正如其名：鸡蛋和玉米饼。基本上就是将打散的鸡蛋倒入不粘锅中，然后放入一张与锅大小相同的面粉玉米饼盖在上面。随着鸡蛋的煮熟，它们会粘在玉米饼上。你将整个食物翻面，让玉米饼有机会变成棕色并变脆，对折后，一道热乎乎的餐点就准备好了。我们在家有时会称之为“鸡蛋煎饼”，就像煎饼或墨西哥卷饼一样，它非常适合定制。
我们几乎总是会撒上一层碎奶酪，但这也是用完剩余脆蔬菜碎、绿叶菜、剩余熟蔬菜和蛋白质，甚至香草的好方法。
为什么你会爱它 它是一道快速餐点。这是制作超快餐点的有趣方法，如果你在路上，它也能作为手持餐食。鸡蛋提供了不错的蛋白质，而玉米饼则帮助增加分量。
自己动手做 我喜欢把配料选择想象成做煎蛋卷的方式。你可以添加自己喜欢的熟肉类和蔬菜、绿叶菜、奶酪甚至香草。因为一个鸡蛋玉米饼只够一个人食用，所以每一份都完全可以定制。
关键食材 鸡蛋：每个鸡蛋玉米饼需要两个大鸡蛋。这足以在锅底铺上一层薄而均匀的蛋液。
面粉玉米饼：选择10英寸宽的面粉玉米饼，通常标注为“burrito size”。我总是在冷冻室里备有一包玉米饼，这样需要多少就能随时取用。而且它们解冻得很快。
配料：这是最有趣的部分。你可以添加绿叶菜、蔬菜、奶酪、蛋白质、香草或葱花来定制每一份。建议最多添加两种配料，这样鸡蛋才能在它们周围凝固。
鸡蛋玉米饼非常容易定制，因为配料选择无穷无尽。ALEX LEPE / TNS
蛋煎玉米饼
份量：1人份 $1 \frac{1}{2}$茶匙橄榄油 2个大鸡蛋 $\frac{1}{4}$茶匙粗盐 现磨黑胡椒（可选） 1个（10英寸）面粉玉米饼（墨西哥卷饼尺寸）
可选配料（最多选两种）： ${1}{3}$杯切碎的嫩叶菜，如小菠菜、小羽衣甘蓝 ${1}{3}$杯碎奶酪，如切达干酪、蒙特雷杰克干酪、墨西哥混合干酪 ${1}{4}$杯切丁番茄或煮熟的蔬菜，如蘑菇、甜椒、洋葱 ${1}{4}$杯煮熟的蛋白质，如碎培根或香肠、切丁火腿 1汤匙切碎的新鲜嫩香草，如芫荽、欧芹、细香葱或罗勒 1根中等大小的青葱，切薄片
-
在10英寸不粘煎锅中倒入1½茶匙橄榄油，以中火加热至油面闪光且锅底均匀受热，约需3分钟。同时，用叉子在小碗中将2个大鸡蛋、${1}{4}$茶匙粗盐和若干磨碎的黑胡椒（如需）搅拌均匀，直至蛋液中无蛋清条纹。确保配料已量好并准备就绪。
-
转动煎锅使油均匀覆盖锅底。若使用叶菜类，将其放入锅中煎至软塌，然后摊成均匀的一层。
- 倒入蛋液，根据需要轻轻倾斜煎锅，使蛋液均匀覆盖锅底。
在蛋液凝固前快速操作，撒入剩余配料，然后将1个（10英寸）面粉玉米饼压在上面。静置煎炸，直至蛋液完全凝固（轻微上色即可）并粘附在玉米饼上，约需1½至2分钟。 4. 用平底宽刮铲从下方插入蛋饼，将蛋饼和玉米饼一同翻面。继续煎至玉米饼出现斑点并变脆，约需45至90秒。将玉米饼对折，滑入盘中，切成两半或四半。
石榴籽点缀节日沙拉
作者：凯蒂·沃克曼 美联社
在你的罗什·哈舒纳晚宴上，用芝麻菜沙拉搭配橙子片和石榴籽增添色彩。凯蒂·沃克曼
芝麻菜、橙子与石榴沙拉
罗什·哈舒纳（犹太新年）有许多与之相关的美食：苹果、蜂蜜、牛胸肉、面条布丁——而在这份清单上熠熠生辉的，是石榴这种独一无二、美丽神秘、象征丰饶且具有圣经意义的水果。
在塞法迪传统中，石榴被视为罗什·哈舒纳餐桌上的象征，代表丰饶、知识与正义。这种水果的众多籽粒让一些人认为它们对应妥拉的613条戒律。（实际上，大多数石榴含有400至800粒籽，但这一说法是一个美好的寓言意象）。
在餐桌上，石榴形状的容器可能盛放蘸苹果用的蜂蜜。以色列的也门裔犹太人可能会在餐桌中央摆放一堆石榴。
石榴既可用于咸味菜肴，也可用于甜品，在以色列及其他中东菜肴中广受欢迎，同时也出现在地中海、印度和非洲菜系中。石榴汁同样受欢迎，既可用于烹饪，也可瓶装后直接饮用或用于鸡尾酒和无酒精鸡尾酒。
石榴籽与果汁的口感均为甜中带酸。如同柑橘类水果，它们清爽且风味浓郁。石榴还富含营养成分。
你可以将它们加入沙拉、米饭和谷物菜肴中，或搅拌入酸奶。将它们撒在烤茄子和其他烤蔬菜上，或用于制作馅饼、蛋糕、司康饼和巧克力甜品。
今年罗什·哈舒纳，用石榴籽为节日晚宴增添些许亮点与色彩，将它们加入一道简单的沙拉中即可。
剥取石榴籽的方法
享用石榴的最大障碍在于从坚韧的外皮和粘连的白色内膜中取出丰富的籽粒。
你需要稍费些功夫切开厚实的外皮，并提取籽粒，同时避免果汁染到衣服、台面或抹布。
有些超市或专卖店会出售仅含籽粒的容器。如果你购买的是已去皮的籽粒，请确保小小的果粒呈亮红色且坚实，而非干瘪、柔软或呈棕色。
如果你购买的是整个石榴，选择坚实且色泽鲜亮的。坚实且沉重的石榴表明籽粒中含有充足的果汁。
确保水果表面无棕色斑点或擦伤。
开始操作前，请系上围裙（或穿上旧衣服）保护衣物，并尽量使用塑料（非木质）砧板，以防果汁染色切菜台面。
如果你想避免双手暂时染色，可戴上适合烹饪的塑料或橡胶手套。
开始时先切下果实底部的一小薄片，使其能够稳稳地直立。然后沿着果冠（即顶部带有“花蕊”突出的一端）以略微倾斜的角度切入果实顶部，使顶部能够掀开，并在石榴上形成一个轻微的凹陷。用刀从顶部到底部仅切开厚厚的外皮，但不要伤及果籽。
再沿果实均匀切出五刀，共形成六个切片 / 部分。用手指将石榴掰开，它会自然分成六瓣。
将一个大碗注满冷水。将切片浸入水中，轻轻将籽与白色内膜分离。随着籽与果肉分离，它们会沉入碗底，而白色内膜则会浮到水面。
最后，只需丢弃果皮，撇去水面的内膜，将籽沥干，即可食用。

时代在变。经典的熏牛肉和烤鸡可能不再适合选择更健康菜肴的罗什·哈舒纳客人。我精选了这道炖菜食谱，因其烹饪过程简便。
大部分时间用于测量和准备食材。"炖菜"原本意味着"大费周章"，但这道菜版本却简化了流程。
炖菜是一种在犹太节日期间受欢迎的传统阿什肯纳兹风味配菜。传统版本甜腻黏稠，常加入梅干和蜂蜜，而这道菜则以苹果汁、枫糖浆和椰枣自然增甜。姜和 pecans 坚果为烤胡萝卜、红薯和防风草增添了活力与脆感。
如果你是提前备餐的厨师，会很高兴知道这道菜可以提前4天制作并冷藏，甚至冷冻保存长达3个月。
胡萝卜与防风草炖菜（配椰枣与 pecans 坚果）
份量：6人份 1个中等大小红薯，去皮切成2×½英寸楔形块 6根中等胡萝卜，切成2×½英寸块 2根中等防风草，切成2×½英寸块 6根青葱，切成2英寸段 3瓣大蒜，切碎 ½杯椰枣，去核粗切 ½杯 pecans 坚果，粗切 ⅔杯苹果汁 ¾杯蔬菜高汤（如偏好可选低钠） 2汤匙枫糖浆 2茶匙新鲜磨姜 1茶匙肉桂粉 1茶匙橙皮 ½茶匙海盐 ½茶匙黑胡椒 ¼杯无盐素食黄油，切丁 适量黄油
- 将烤箱预热至350度。
- 在大烤盘或荷兰烤锅中混合红薯、胡萝卜、防风草、青葱、大蒜、椰枣和 pecans 坚果。
- 在小碗中搅拌苹果汁、蔬菜高汤、枫糖浆、姜、肉桂粉、橙皮、盐和黑胡椒。将液体倒在蔬菜混合物上。在蔬菜上撒上黄油丁。
- 用盖子盖住烤盘或用铝箔纸密封，烘烤60分钟。揭开盖子或铝箔纸，再烘烤15至20分钟，直至蔬菜软烂。
备注：存放于密封容器中，冷藏可保存4天，冷冻可保存3个月。将冷藏或解冻的炖菜在350度下重新加热至温热。如偏好，可用无花果干代替椰枣。也可用核桃替换 pecans 坚果。
辣味渐成主流：调酒师如何打造辛辣鸡尾酒
为调制带劲的饮品，调酒师将辣椒、腌制液、果粉混合
撰文：路易丝·狄克逊 美联社
辛辣鸡尾酒正当红，而不再仅限于经典的辣玛格丽特或血腥玛丽。调酒师们正尝试更多实验性组合，以打造完美的“劲爽”口感。
“就像你想给牛排或猪排调味一样，你希望增加多重层次。如果做得恰到好处，辣味能做到这一点。”纽约“Sip and Guzzle”酒吧的调酒师特纳·格里夫斯说。
他调制了一款龙舌兰高球，名为“Doctor Green”，形容其“超级草本、蔬菜味、略带苦味。里面有托马蒂约、青苹果、紫苏、辣根，再配上一小块塞拉诺辣椒，就能更辣。”
从甜到咸
伦敦“Brutes of Mayfair”鸡尾酒吧联合创始人詹姆斯·史蒂文森表示，20年前他刚入行时，饮品都非常甜，而如今消费者的口味已转向咸味。
“我认为现在确实有一股追求咸味鸡尾酒的潮流，”他说，“我们菜单上每一款更咸、带腌制或辣味元素的饮品，往往都是最畅销的。”
史蒂文森调制了一款以龙舌兰酒为基底的“Bagheera”，他形容其为“超辣玛格丽特”。
“我们用榨汁（混合）而非摇晃的方式调制，加入新鲜辣椒和香菜。”
他说，他们还会制作新鲜糖浆，加入龙舌兰酒和新鲜榨取的青柠汁，最后用自制的塔金盐边装饰。
龙舌兰酒精天然适合搭配辣味
两位调酒师都选择龙舌兰类烈酒（龙舌兰酒和梅斯卡尔酒）来调制辣味饮品，这并非巧合。
史蒂文森解释说，龙舌兰类烈酒的风味更清新、更具植物气息，与其他烈酒不同。“它们与辣椒的风味非常相似。”他指出龙舌兰酒与盐搭配效果很好，并补充道：“辣味与咸味天然相近。”
伦敦“Flip-Dog”酒吧经理亚历克斯·里奥内斯调制的“Late Night”鸡尾酒中，带有一丝夜宵烤串和泡菜的余韵。他使用白龙舌兰酒和一种名为“raicilla”的龙舌兰近亲（类似梅斯卡尔酒）。大豆酱油带来深沉的风味，他说，自制辣椒酊则提升了辣度。
随后他加入洋葱和橄榄腌制液，“像终极Dirty Martini”，并用亮粉色泡菜萝卜点缀。
麻辣口感
但辣椒并非唯一增辣方式。里奥内斯表示，目标是营造“口感”。他使用四川花椒和 Timur 浆果（一种带有清凉麻木感的浆果）。“你要追求的是整个口腔的刺激感。”他说。
格里夫斯建议在饮品中加入经典的烹饪元素。
“你可以加入姜、蒜瓣、八角和茴香，为饮品增添多重胡椒和辛辣元素。回家后，再往玛格丽特中加入辣椒粉。”他说。
要判断辣度，可以尝试用舌头感受，格里夫斯说：“如果辣味开始

为鸡尾酒杯加辣味杯沿
安德森建议，要为鸡尾酒杯加辣味杯沿，可将厨房中任何香料与优质岩盐混合（可现磨香料以增强香气与活力）。
他推荐使用芫荽籽调制出更具柑橘风味的混合物，或用黑胡椒和豆蔻粉营造咸鲜口感。甚至可尝试添加果粉，如冷冻干燥草莓或覆盆子粉，再配以少许辣椒。
“这种组合很棒，能带来绝妙的口感。”安德森说。
用柠檬或青柠片擦拭杯沿，再将杯沿轻轻滚过浅盘中的盐混合物即可。

心理学家强调了解何时寻求帮助的重要性，因为男性很难意识到自己正在为心理健康而挣扎
不要硬撑着
作者：RJ·麦肯齐 《纽约时报》
在男孩们甚至进入青春期之前，他们就从社会中吸收关于“男子气概”意味着什么的教诲。但往往，他们被告知要忽视情感痛苦，远离他人的帮助。
“在某种程度上，我们将寻求帮助视为一种失败，”加州州立大学富尔顿分校咨询学教授马特·恩格拉-卡尔森（Matt Englar-Carlson）表示，“无论是问路、去看全科医生还是心理学家，都无关紧要。”
许多男性最终要么忽视心理健康问题，要么试图独自应对。2024年对约70,000名美国成年人的调查发现，约20%的男性在前一年曾经历抑郁或焦虑等心理健康问题，其中约$20会花在看医生上。
其他研究还表明，男性比女性更不愿寻求治疗，他们康复所需的时间更长，且更容易中断治疗。与此同时，男性滥用毒品和酒精的可能性是女性的两倍多，且在2023年，男性自杀死亡人数几乎是女性的四倍。
心理学家表示，预防这些风险的最佳方法是与家人和朋友建立更牢固的社交联系。但同样重要的是，知道何时该向心理健康专业人士寻求帮助。基于此，我们询问了心理学家希望男性了解的心理健康知识。以下是他们的回答。
男性抑郁症的表现形式往往不同
男性被诊断出抑郁症的比例约为女性的一半。但这部分是因为抑郁的男性往往表现出略有不同的症状，宾夕法尼亚大学医学伦理学教授德里克·格里菲斯表示。
“我们目前的诊断方式是否准确识别出需要帮助的男性，这一点并不明确。”他说道。
研究显示，尽管抑郁症患者无论男女都会表现出嗜睡或对活动失去兴趣等症状，但男性更可能表现出冒险行为、愤怒或易怒情绪，甚至是头痛或胃部问题等躯体症状。
这通常被称为隐匿性或男性型抑郁症，圣地亚哥男性卓越中心心理学家丹尼尔·辛格利表示。格里菲斯称，当考虑到这些男性型抑郁症状时，男女诊断率的差异便会消失。
许多男性甚至可能没有意识到自己患有抑郁症。偶尔感到易怒或愤怒可能只是日常压力的表现，但如果这些情绪持续存在，或被亲人察觉，不妨自问这些是否可能是抑郁症的症状，辛格利表示。
成为父亲可能影响心理健康
产后抑郁症是女性常见的健康风险之一，影响约10%至20%的新妈妈。但多达10%的新爸爸也会被诊断出患有此症。
“从‘老兄’变成‘老爸’是人生身份的重大转变。”辛格利表示。
他补充道，对于那些既往心理健康状况不佳的人来说，成为新父亲可能尤其具有压力，并导致焦虑等症状复发。辛格利表示，新手爸爸常认为自己的唯一职责是支持伴侣，而忽视了自身的健康。他强调，新手爸爸同样需要照顾好自己，包括保证充足睡眠、均衡饮食、适量运动以及与朋友交往。
尽管带着新生儿可能很难做到这一点，但每天哪怕只抽出几分钟独处也有帮助。此外，除伴侣或直系亲属外，拥有更广泛的社会支持也很重要，辛格利表示。
“要给予支持，但仅此还不够。”他说道。
老年白人男性的自杀风险较高
从广义上讲，中老年美国人面临的自 suicide风险最高，其中75.岁以上男性的自杀率最高。非西班牙裔白人男性的风险紧随其后，其次是美洲原住民和阿拉斯加原住民。
但更详细的人口统计数据使这一情况变得复杂。在大多数种族和族裔群体中，自杀风险在35岁前达到峰值，之后随着年龄增长而下降。但对于白人男性而言，风险却持续上升。
格里菲斯表示，研究人员主要将较低的社会经济地位视为心理健康状况恶化的驱动因素。因此，与年轻人相比，通常更富有的老年男性在心理健康研究和意识宣传活动中受到的关注较少。他补充道，但同样重要的是，要识别老年男性的心理健康不佳迹象，如饮酒增加或睡眠恶化。
运动有益于心理健康——但需适度
每位专家都认同，男性可以通过建立与他人的联系来改善心理健康。许多人通过与朋友一起去健身房锻炼或加入运动队来实现这一点。他们既能从健身中获益，又能从社交中获得心理健康的双重好处。
但不要过度运动，恩格拉-卡尔森表示。他发现许多男性相信只有重大的生活方式改变（如跑马拉松或练出六块腹肌）才能帮助缓解低落情绪。他说道：“他们被误导，认为必须一击制胜。”
相反，应专注于规律但不过度的运动。2018年一项针对美国成年人的研究发现，那些每周参加团队运动、骑行或去健身房3至5次的人，每月感到心理健康不佳的天数更少。但运动频率超过这一范围的人，心理健康状况反而更差。
男性也可能成为虐待受害者
多位心理学家表示，糟糕的关系会导致情绪困扰，但男性可能无法意识到其中的伤害，或不会寻求支持。耶鲁大学社区支持专家塞德·希尔表示，这包括心理或身体虐待。
毫无疑问，女性遭受家庭暴力的可能性远高于男性。但根据一项全国调查，近1 in 7名男性曾遭受亲密伴侣的身体暴力。
英国西伦敦大学心理学家本·海因（2022年一项研究男性家暴热线求助者的作者）表示，孤立和羞耻感常使他们无法向专业人士倾诉这种虐待。
“他们认为自己一定是唯一经历过这种情况的人，”他说道。
全国家庭暴力热线等组织以及许多庇护所为遭受虐待的男性提供服务。
男性开始更多寻求帮助
专家表示，尽管社会仍可能要求男性压抑情感，但许多人正在鼓起勇气寻求帮助。虽然男性寻求心理健康帮助的比例低于女性，但2023年寻求帮助的男性人数是2014年的3倍多。
专家表示，男性应在任何阶段寻求治疗，以改善心理健康，而不仅仅是在危机时刻。
“如果你不知道自己的感受或问题的具体所在，这没关系，”南得克萨斯退伍军人医疗保健系统心理学家威尔·埃尔德表示。
埃尔德表示，许多男性担心治疗师会在会话中以某种方式对他们施加压力。但他补充道，你完全掌控治疗中的一切。
“心理学家的工作只是帮助你做出正确的决定，让你对自己的行为感到满意，”他说道。
作为他汀替代品，水飞蓟可能有益，可降低低密度脂蛋白
!
多项研究综述表明水飞蓟可降低总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白 图片来源：DREAMSTIME
作者：Joe Graedon（理学硕士）与Teresa Graedon（哲学博士） KING FEATURES SYNDICATE
问：我正在寻找不依赖他汀类药物的天然降胆固醇方法，特别是降低低密度脂蛋白。我对水飞蓟感兴趣，想了解适当的剂量是多少。
答：水飞蓟（Silybum marianum）传统上用于治疗肝脏或胆囊问题。最近有研究探索其降低心脏代谢风险因素（如胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和胰岛素抵抗）的能力（Phytotherapy Research，2025年12月）。
一项对多项研究的综述显示，水飞蓟的活性成分水飞蓟素可降低空腹血糖、胰岛素抵抗、甘油三酯、总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白（Antioxidants，2024年3月24日）。纳入分析的33项研究所用剂量差异很大，从每日140毫克到2,100毫克不等。
近30年前我们撰写《人民药房家庭与草本疗法指南》时，曾报道水飞蓟的常用剂量为每日420毫克，这基于欧洲的实践。我们也曾警告不要将其制成茶饮服用；其活性成分不溶于水。
问：大约在1980年，我在一家大型广告公司工作。我们原本第二天要为一位潜在新客户准备一场重要的演示，但当天所有人都明显看出我要感冒了。办公室经理让我回家并布置了作业。
我需要每小时服用1,000毫克维生素C。她说这是她自己医生开的“处方”，能让感冒立即好转。我照做了（只是将剂量改为每半小时500毫克）。那天下午，她打电话询问我的情况，我告诉她感觉棒极了。感冒完全消失。
从那以后，我在感冒初期症状出现时就服用这种维生素C剂量。这么多年来我再也没有感冒过，甚至记不清上一次感冒是什么时候了。
答：莱纳斯·鲍林在其著作《维生素C与感冒》（1970年）中提出抗坏血酸可能有助于治疗感冒。自此之后，科学家们一直在争论这一观点是否属实。
波兰《内科学文献》（2025年1月30日）的一篇文章总结了来自随机对照试验的证据。根据研究，维生素C很少能预防感冒。然而，每日摄入至少1克可显著缩短感冒持续时间并减轻症状严重程度。更高剂量似乎效果更好。
我们曾在《人民药房》广播节目中采访该研究的主要作者哈里·赫米拉博士。您可以收听免费播客。搜索“第1431期：维生素C对感冒的研究与癌症——为莱纳斯·鲍林正名”。
问：我读了你们关于飞机耳痛的文章。文中没有提及最简单且无成本的解决方案：告诉空乘你感到耳痛。他们会给你两个杯子，里面装有湿热的纸巾。将杯子盖在耳朵上即可。
我在一次横跨大西洋的航班上曾经痛不欲生，一位好心的空姐用这种方法解决了我的问题。这种简单方法的效果令人难忘。
答：几十年前，我们曾从一位空乘那里听说“热杯”方法可以缓解下降时的耳痛。他们会提供两个泡沫塑料杯，杯底放入热的湿纸巾。将杯子盖在耳朵上似乎有助于打开堵塞的咽鼓管，从而缓解疼痛。
我们不确定航空公司是否仍允许这种做法。如果空乘愿意帮忙，请确保杯中没有残留液体以免烫伤。将纸巾紧压在杯底时，应不会构成烫伤风险。

如何打造安全的婴儿房？
MAYO CLINIC
DREAMSTIME
问：我们即将迎来第一个孩子，感到无比兴奋。我们希望婴儿房不仅是一个可爱的空间，更要绝对安全。在开始布置婴儿房时，您有什么建议吗？
答：您即将迎接孩子的到来。现在的首要任务是确保这个小生命的安全。婴儿在婴儿房中会度过大量时间，因此检查并消除潜在的安全隐患至关重要。
请花几分钟时间，用以下建议逐一评估婴儿房的每个部分。
婴儿床与摇篮安全
婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）是指1岁以下婴儿的无法解释的死亡。尽管SIDS的确切原因仍在调查中，但研究表明，安全的睡眠环境有助于预防SIDS。
为降低与睡眠相关的婴儿死亡风险，建议遵循以下安全睡眠指南：
始终让婴儿仰卧在坚固、平坦的表面上睡眠。婴儿床或摇篮的床垫应紧贴框架，不留缝隙。
避免与婴儿同睡。婴儿应在自己的睡眠空间（婴儿床或摇篮）中睡眠。建议在婴儿出生后至少前6个月，让婴儿与照护者同室但不同床。
婴儿睡眠时，婴儿床内切勿放置松散的毯子、护栏、枕头或毛绒玩具。
婴儿房整体安全
婴儿房的整体安全建议包括：
在婴儿房及附近的浴室和走廊中放置夜灯。
安装烟雾和一氧化碳报警器，并定期检查其功能。
将重型家具（如梳妆台和书架）固定到墙上。如家具未配备固定装置，可单独购买安全带或墙锚套件。
窗户安全
为确保婴儿房及家中其他区域的窗户安全，建议采取以下措施：
将家具移离窗户。
在开窗的房间中看护儿童。切勿依赖纱窗防止坠落。
安装限制窗户开合不超过4英寸的限位器。
在窗户下半部分安装护栏。
仅从上方开启双悬窗。
将百叶窗或窗帘的绳索固定至儿童无法触及的位置。
婴儿房外的安全
注意家中其他家具的潜在危险。应做到以下三点：

Dem leaders troubled by mail-in ballot ruling
Durbin calls Trump's order an effort to 'chip away' at right to vote
By Rick Pearson CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Illinois' Democratic leaders expressed trepidation Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to proceed with plans that could severely limit mail-in voting, raising warnings that it could create chaos for the Nov. 3 general election.
With the first day to vote by mail in Illinois less than a month away on Sept. 24, Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker called the ruling “deeply troubling,” while U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said President Donald Trump’s executive order was another attempt by the president to “chip away at that fundamental right” to vote.
At issue was Monday's ruling in which the nation's highest court lifted, at least temporarily, a lower court's stay of the executive order Trump issued earlier this year.
The order directs the Department of Homeland Security to create a list of adult U.S. citizens in each state and requires states to give the U.S. Postal Service a list of voters to whom they intend to send mail-in ballots. It also prevents the USPS from mailing ballots to people not on the agency list of “enrolled” voters. Another provision requires the U.S. attorney general to “prioritize” the investigation and prosecution of state and local officials who issue ballots to ineligible voters.
A separate federal court ruling, which the Supreme Court did not address, still prohibits the postal service from carrying out its part of the executive order. But the administration filed a motion late Monday asking that the second hold be lifted

Blue Line slow zones frustrate commuters
On Forest Park branch, trains travel on 70-year-old tracks. Fixes could be coming — but slowly
By Talia Soglin CHICAGO TRIBUNE
A commuter boarding a Loop-bound Blue Line train in Forest Park during morning rush hour back in 2022 could expect to arrive downtown at Clark and Lake Station in 35 minutes. Now, the same trip takes five or six minutes longer.
The trip home takes even more extra time, to the tune of nine to 10 minutes longer than it did in 2022, according to the CTA's published schedule.
The culprit?
Slow zones, or sections of the CTA's aging track where trains must slow to a crawl. On the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line, which carries riders through Chicago's West Side to suburban Oak Park and Forest Park, slow zones now comprise more than 84% of the track, up from 20% a decade ago.
That's much higher than the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line, which carries riders through the city's Northwest Side to the airport, and where just under $15\%$ of the branch is classified as a slow zone.
Systemwide, 19% of all CTA track fell into a slow zone in July. And even on the Brown Line — which has been known to prompt rider complaints of its own when it comes to speed — slow zones made up just 21% of the line.
On the Blue Line's Forest Park branch, trains travel on tracks that are nearly 70 years old, and that makes for time-consuming commutes.
"It's slower than just about anything," said Keith Long, a hospital employee waiting for a Forest Park-bound train at the Illinois Medical District station during an afternoon rush hour last month. On the O'Hare branch of the line, Long said, "it feels like the trains actually know how to go."
"I have no desire to take this on a regular basis," said Robert Rodgers as he sat aboard a Forest Park-bound train crawling west. Rodgers, of Hyde Park, was headed to visit a friend in the western suburbs. Still, he acknowledged, he'd taken the train because it was "less of a headache than driving."
The CTA says a full replace-

Why I loved Parton and her Dollywood
In the middle of Dollywood — a theme park in the Smoky Mountains that I have visited 50 times or more — there's a replica of the one-bedroom house in which Dolly Parton grew up in Sevier County, Tennessee, as one of 12 children.
IN CHICAGOLAND: Tributes to the beloved singer poured in from all over the area. Page A2
It's not the actual house, although some visitors tend to think so. But it's the same size. And if you stand and peer through the window alongside the moms, dads and kids in strollers, as I often have, you hear a symphony of people articulating their new understanding of just how far this great American came.
Humble beginnings are a cliché. Parton, though, escaped a space barely big enough for 14 people to turn around. Humble does not do it justice, but palpably, she grew up surrounded by love.
She conquered country music, then Hollywood. Then she became an entrepreneur with her own theme park in Pigeon Forge. Just recently, she'd moved into Dolly's travel stops, taking on the Buc-ee's chain with her

Coal ash by Vermilion River raises alarms
Many worry about heavy rains and delays in erosion report
By Christiana Freitag FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
For more than 70 years, Mike Camp has never lived more than 2 miles from the Vermilion River.
Growing up on his family's dairy and crop farms in Vermilion County in east-central Illinois, Camp spent his childhood and adult life swimming, fishing and canoeing along the meandering bends of the river's Middle Fork.
“We’ve floated the river our whole lives,” Camp said.
He and his wife, Kristin, currently live less than a mile and a half from the river in Collison. They have spent more than a decade fighting to protect it from over 3 million cubic yards of toxic coal ash stored on the Middle Fork's floodplain, a particularly vulnerable location along Illinois' only national scenic river.
A few miles downstream, a coal-fired power plant operated for more than 50 years before being retired in 2011. Camp said he first became concerned when he was canoeing and saw ash deposits seeping into the river, leaving rainbow-colored sheens along the bank.
Vistra Corp. acquired Dynegy Midwest Generation, the owner of the retired plant, in 2018. Dynegy submitted a plan to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to permanently close the coal ash ponds more than four years ago.
That plan has yet to be approved. In the meantime, residents and environmentalists are worried about the company's response as severe storms increase erosion and the threat of the river overflowing into the coal ash ponds.
Heavy rains pushed the Middle

'How do we go back to normal?'
Chicagoans mourn death of Parton
Eliot McQuaide, 10, drops flowers at a mural of Dolly Parton in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood on Tuesday. ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
By Tess Kenny CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Curtis Kimberlin started Tuesday morning as usual, at work as an academic adviser at the University of Illinois Chicago. By midafternoon, the 31-year-old stood on the city's North Side staring at Dolly Parton's smile, wondering how he'd go back to his 9-to-5.
As the news of Parton's death on Tuesday spread, tributes for the beloved country music singer poured in from every corner, and Chicago was no exception. In the hours after Parton's family announced her death on social media, Chicagoans flocked to Edgewater's Lytle House, where a mural of Parton faces the street. The portrait stretches from floor to ceiling, Parton's big blonde hair – rightfully – crowding much of the wall.
One after another, a steady stream of fans stopped by the mural. As afternoon turned to evening, a small pile of flowers grew at the painting's edge. Over the sound of traffic, Parton's discography played on a loop, the songs spilling out onto the street from inside Lytle House.
Kimberlin had only a short window to visit Parton. He brought a bouquet with him. "How do we go back to normal?" Kimberlin asked Tuesday afternoon, eyes cast towards the mural.
Kimberlin was raised on Parton. His mom made sure that country music, Dolly especially, was a hallmark of his Texas upbringing. He evoked a beautiful memory of being college student driving out to Oklahoma with his mom to see Parton in concert.
He's never known a day without the icon. He can't quite wrap his head around knowing he, and the world, wouldn't have another.
Parton died peacefully Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a statement from her publicist, as reported by The Associated
Press. She was 80. A cause of death was not disclosed.
Parton was among the most beloved personalities in music and beyond – the rare celebrity whose appeal transcended generations, geography and politics. Her poignant songwriting and sparkling costumes defined her rise from a log cabin in the Tennessee mountains to the queen of country music. Her career comprised hundreds of songs, but so did Parton's generous philanthropy and success as a businesswoman.
For Kimberlin, it's who Parton was — and stood for - that resonated with him most. Though strict in not voicing her own political beliefs, Parton spoke through the causes she believed in, through the organizations and activism she'd frequently support. Parton started an education nonprofit to send free books to children in Tennessee, donated to help fund the COVID-19 vaccine in 2020 and used her platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights.
“I was just telling my boyfriend,” Kimberlin told the Tribune, “now we have to live our lives like Dolly would.”
Lucy McNichols and Miles Brandenstein stood outside Lytle House just holding each other. Celebrity deaths don't usually affect them so much, they both said, but Parton's death is something different. Something bigger.
"I feel like when people do so much for the collective, thanking them and showing that appreciation is really, really important," McNichols said. "I just kind of wanted to share that with others."
As they spoke, McNichols wiped away a few tears. Behind them, people continued to drop off flowers.
“She’s just been such a force of good in the world,” McNichols said. “She’s always been someone who’s really walked the walk, among so many celebrities (who just) talked the (talk).”
“They just don’t make them like that anymore,” Brandenstein added. “Like her.”
To Anna Chapman, Parton was “woman personified,” the Andersonville resident said on her pilgrimage to Lytle House mural.
Growing up in Lakeview, Chapman and her family loved old country — Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and yes, Parton. Though Chapman's heritage was Latin music, coming from a Mexican and Cuban background, Parton also was fundamental.
"We loved this music," Chapman said. "We loved
her."
As Chapman lingered by the mural, a car drove by on Broadway with the windows down. "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene," Parton's voice blared from inside.
Chapman said she planned on listening to Parton when she got home. She also planned to just think about her, she said.
"The more people that think about her today," Chapman said, "she's gonna feel that."
Back at Lytle House, the music would continue, Michelle Lytle, who co-owns the venue with her wife, promised. When she heard of Parton's death, she knew people would be stopping by their Parton mural, which has adorned their event space for the past nine years. While fans stopped by to see Parton, Lytle wanted them to hear her, too.
“Dolly,” Lytle said, “she’s just someone you feel like would never die.”
Over the speakers, Parton's voice continued to sound. "Oh, bless her, Lord," she sang. "She's an eagle when she flies."

PARTON from Page A1
Dolly Parton in New York, in 1975.
JACK MANNING/THE NEW YORK TIMES
all-powerful, blue-collar brand, just as she once had taken on Burt Reynolds and the rest of the sexist movie business.
I now own a cabin up in the mountains above this place and, over the years, plenty of my friends have made fun of me for my obsession with Dollywood and Dolly Parton, the latter fandom being one I share with the former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. I was once in the same room as the governor and Parton (it was when her Broadway "9 to 5: The Musical" was in Chicago) and his face lit up with a smile of a wattage I'd never seen before and surely never will see from him again. I hope he is doing OK today.
Everybody loved Dolly Parton. That sounds like another cliché, but think for a second about how few people in the entertainment business that truly could be said about. America, in case you haven't noticed, has taken sides.
Yet Parton masterfully stayed out of every fight in the culture wars, preaching love, philanthropy, mentorship and tolerance until her dying breath. Dollywood is in a town with a Trump Store (actually two when I last checked) and yet the LGBTQ+ community is welcomed in Dollywood as part of Parton's loyal fan base.
Nobody ever wanted her to take sides and thus she rarely was asked anything she did not want to answer.
Indeed, it is my firm belief that, whatever this nation's divisions, a critical mass of people understood that Dolly Parton must be left alone so we can say that at least one American belongs to everyone.
Even a republic needs its queen, and it was her.
Alas, there is no obvious heir.
Who else do we have who stands for fun, literacy (she put more books in school libraries than any other human), music and, above all, family?
Dolly Parton is kissed by then-Gov. Pat Quinn at the opening of 9 to 5: The Musical at the Bank of America Theatre in Chicago on Jan. 19, 2011. CHRIS SWEDA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
I attribute some of that complexity to her being born in a part of America far more complex than people think. Sevier County sided with the Union, not the Confederacy, even though the state of Tennessee joined the Confederacy. And its people, many of whom had origins in northern England, Scotland and Ireland, were fiercely independent in their rural poverty and, of course,
isolated by the mountains. They feel far more Appalachian than Southern, which is, of course, true of Parton herself.
I started going to Parton's beloved county when my kids were little, repelled by the high cost and corporatization of Walt Disney World, and yet loving roller coasters and amusement parks. I also thought it not a bad thing to teach two boys living in the city of Chicago about the other America. Dollywood thus became our Disneyland — from the Tennessee Tornado to the Wild Eagle to the Mystery Mine with the dead parrot before the big drop.
In the early years, especially, it felt like everyone working in the park was a Parton relative, especially anyone performing bluegrass music: Parton's niece, cousins, uncle. There were 12 kids. That's a lot of relatives. I would take adult friends, especially after I bought the cabin nearby. They'd always say the place exceeded expectations, being charmingly built into the mountains and all.
I never saw Parton at Dollywood, though; when I met her, it was in New York or Chicago, when I was writing about her shows. You'll be shocked to know, she could not have been warmer or lovelier or more self-deprecating and funny. Everyone around her basically just smiled the entire time. Here was a woman known for a "fake" look, so to speak, replete with face-lifts and enhancements of this, that and the other, who actually was about the most genuine person you could ever meet.
Even with all of her money and fame, she was unchanged and unchangeable. She made so much fun of herself that any potential satirists were disarmed.
These days, my adult kids prefer to hike in the mountains and I have to drag them every Christmas to hear “A Tender Tennessee Christmas” at the Dollywood holiday pageant, which has become my ersatz church.
Alas, of course, Parton was mortal. And, as it appeared on Tuesday, had been doing less well of late than people knew.
I often would walk around Dollywood as someone who has seen a lot of entertainment businesses come and go, wondering what they would do when Parton died. I don't doubt they have their contingency plans, rolling out right now. But this death on this Tuesday will have come as an unexpected shock.
I've often thought the park would see a surge in near-term popularity after Parton's death, and I am sure that will be the case. The trickier time will come after years have gone by and she begins to recede in memory, as all of us eventually do.
But I think most anyone reading this will be gone by the time that becomes an existential problem. Queens can reign long after they leave us.

Johnson unveils fixes for 2026 budget gap
Mayor Brandon Johnson speaks during a transportation forum on Tuesday at the University of Illinois Chicago. BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Mayor to use debt restructuring to fill most of shortfall
By A.D. Quig and Alice Yin CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced a spate of short-term fixes Tuesday, including debt restructuring, to close this year's budget gap.
Speaking to reporters at City Hall, Johnson said he would fill most of a projected \$85.1 million shortfall in the 2026 budget by refinancing between \$500 million and \$525 million in bonds. He said doing so will allow him to avoid having to lay off city workers this year, and won't add to the city's pile of debt.
Johnson estimated the refinancing will save between \$65 million and \$71 million. The rest of the gap could be closed with remaining federal COVID-19 financial relief dollars set aside for administrative and grant management costs, "if necessary," he told reporters.
The city still has a little under \$18.6 million in federal funds that were set aside for programming. Johnson said moving some of those funds would not endanger any ongoing projects funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
Neither gap-filling solution requires City Council sign off, the mayor said.
The mayor did not hint at solutions to close the still-un-disclosed gap for 2027, which Johnson's budget task force anticipated would be at least \$680 million. But he noted that several progressive revenues he supports in this year's budget had overperformed
— including a tax on online sports wagering, charges on social media advertising and the personal property lease tax.
He also delivered another blistering critique of his council opponents, the latest signal that he is coming into his fourth budget fight — one that coincides with an election — guns blazing.
Asked what it would take for both sides to simmer down tensions, Johnson responded, "For them to be in agreement with me." Then he described a family he recently spoke with struggling to provide for two daughters after making rent.
"The 'Corporate Caucus' wanted to place a greater burden on that working family, and if you're asking me to just roll over and lay down and not fight for those families, that's not who I am," Johnson said.
Refinancing debt and counting all the savings from it upfront is a common one-time fix tactic used by past mayors to close gaps large and small. So is the use of one-time federal pandemic relief dollars. The city already spent \$1.41 billion of its nearly \$1.89 billion American Rescue Plan allocation on day-to-day operations. Refinancing for 2026 also leaves one less option to help balance the 2027 budget.
Johnson emphasized he understood the latest plan was a temporary stopgap, saying that the city could not keep relying on “loose change in the couch.” He kept mum on what new taxes he would propose in his 2027 budget proposal but signaled a new progressive revenue idea was all but guaranteed.
Through May, his administration's midyear budget report showed the city was about 1.5% — or \$32 million — under budget on revenues in the main fund that pays for day-to-day operations. Johnson officials later announced a projected \$90 million deficit by the end of this year, threatening potential layoffs to fill it.
That shortfall has become prime ground for the mayor to take repeated jabs at the opposition bloc in the council that passed the 2026 spending plan over his objections.
The opposition budget group's various proposed revenues are coming up \$147 million short compared with projections, according to data the mayor's office shared Tuesday. Spending cuts of \$47 million and the slight overperformance of other revenues brought the total expected shortfall to \$85.1 million, according to the mayor's office.
The largest part of the gap came from the opposition bloc's controversial \$89 million debt sale measure, which has not attracted any buyers, according to Johnson's office. Also \$29 million from sale of ads on city bridges and light poles, \$6 million from augmented reality games on city-owned property and video game terminal licensing have netted nothing or close to it. Modified liquor taxes and an increase to the checkout bag tax are also projected to underperform, according to the mayor.
In a statement sent via Far Northwest Side Ald. Sam Nugent's office, the opposition bloc of aldermen on Tuesday blamed Johnson for not implementing the 2026 budget correctly.
“Mayor Johnson and his administration have failed to execute the budget as required by law,” the coalition statement said. “Instead, he has focused on finger-pointing to deflect from his failures and now is using accounting gimmicks that, in reality, won’t close our structural deficit, but it does repeat more harmful fiscal practices inflicted on taxpayers by this administration.”
The final \$16.6 billion plan entailed selling \$1 billion in long-outstanding money owed to the city for pennies on the dollar, which Johnson derided as an immoral solution after aldermen rejected his corporate head tax proposal.
He ultimately did not veto the final budget. Since then, the opposition has accused his administration of sabotaging the sale of vehicular debt to score a political win. The opposition bloc has also pressed the mayor to make good on its imperative that the city make a full extra pension payment. Johnson committed to do so in front of a group of city investors earlier this month.
Also Tuesday, the mayor declined to elaborate on his hopes for a data center moratorium in Chicago, saying that such an ordinance is under the council's authority, not his.
Earlier this month Johnson signed an executive order directing city departments to intensify scrutiny of new data centers but stopped short of outright banning them.
However, his administration in the meantime has been moving behind the scenes to curtail even the possibility of such projects.
Peter Strazzabosco, a spokesperson for the city's Department of Planning and Development confirmed last week that a zoning application for the old Ford City Mall land was revised to eliminate a provision allowing data center use “as part of the review process with DPD.”
The developer, Midwest RE Acquisitions, LLC, later said via spokesperson Liz Butler the old language was “initially included in the application solely because that use is a permitted use in the new proposed zoning district. The project does not contemplate a data center use." Still, Johnson said in a statement that the change was a product of his executive order.
"In response to my Executive Order strengthening the City's oversight of data center development, the developer removed the previously proposed data center from its plans for the Ford City Mall site less than a week after the order was issued," the mayor wrote. "This is a win for the community members who raised serious concerns about the environmental and public health impacts of data centers. My Executive Order makes clear that Chicago welcomes investment and economic growth, but not at the expense of our communities."
What lies ahead for the next budget fight is unclear. Johnson's budget forecast laying out the deficit is due by Sept. 30.
It will be a budget fight duked out alongside a heated campaign season for the 2027 mayoral and council races. Johnson on Tuesday again demurred on whether he plans to seek reelection, maintaining that his focus was on calling out the “problematic City Council.”
But underneath his soaring rhetoric on sticking it to rich corporations was a freshman mayor who appeared resolute in how he would defend his record on the campaign trail.
“This is the ability that you develop when you are a former middle school teacher,” Johnson said when asked how he approaches financial forecasting. “You can deal with erratic behavior, and you can multitask, which turned out to be the exact skill set for me as mayor of the city of Chicago.”

Ex-Loretto Hospital CEO gets diversion deal amid US attorney's office scandal
By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE
In the latest consequences of a grand jury scandal at the U.S. attorney's office, the former CEO of Loretto Hospital entered into a pretrial diversion agreement Tuesday that will see conspiracy charges against him dismissed as long as he stays out of trouble for a year.
George Miller was the most high-profile defendant so far to get a deal since allegations of grand jury misconduct surfaced in May in the "Broadview Six" case against immigration protesters, which was handled by the same prosecutor who led the sprawling Loretto investigation.
Under the terms of the agreement, Miller, 75, who lives in central Florida, must abide by a number of rules for a 12-month period and pay about \$60,000 in restitution. If he does so, prosecutors will dismiss the indictment against him in August 2027.
"Mr. Miller, you got lucky here," U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman said at the end of the brief telephone hearing Tuesday. "I want to make sure you understand the terms of this agreement. There's nine of them there ... you should keep a copy with you to make sure you don't violate any of those conditions."
Among the conditions outlined in the publicly filed agreement: no travel outside of central Florida without the court's permission, maintain gainful employment and report any contact with law enforcement.
As part of the agreement, Miller agreed to a set of facts about the allegations that was to be filed as a separate attachment. That document had not been made public, for reasons that were not explained in open court.
Miller's lawyer, Ryan Hedges, could not immediately be reached.
An indictment filed in 2024 alleged Miller, who was CEO at Loretto from 2017 until he left amid turmoil in 2022, allegedly conspired to use his position to steer hospital contracts to medical supplies and service companies owned and operated by Sameer Suhail, a doctor and medical supplier who is also indicted in the same alleged scheme.
Miller was accused, along with his former Chief Financial Officer Anosh Ahmed, of conspiring to accept checks and money transfers from Suhail in exchange for the award of contracts and other hospital business to Suhail's companies. He allegedly accepted around \$769,000 in bribes, prosecutors originally charged.
Another defendant, Heather Bergdahl, a former Loretto executive and close friend of Ahmed's, had been charged with helping to carry out the scheme.
The indictment followed a federal investigation initiated after Loretto came under fire for improperly doling out COVID-19 vaccinations soon after the shots became available. In 2021, following reporting by Block Club Chicago and WBEZ, Loretto admitted it had improperly vaccinated workers at Trump Tower in downtown Chicago and had also improperly given shots to Cook County judges at a time when the vaccines were still scarce.
Miller, who was CEO of Loretto during that period, was first suspended and later left the hospital amid the fall-out in 2022.
Ahmed was also charged in a related investigation with a COVID-19 testing fraud scheme that generated tens of millions of dollars in government reimbursements over a two-month period in 2021, much of which was for tests that were never performed.
But both cases were weakened significantly by fallout from the ongoing “Broadview Six” scandal, which revealed alleged wrongdoing by prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg in front of the grand jury, including improperly “vouching” for the strength of the government’s case.
Bergdahl entered into a deferred prosecution deal in July that will likely leave her without a felony conviction. Prosecutors have also said that they were in “negotiations” with Suhail to resolve his charges short of trial.
Both Ahmed and Suhail were living in Dubai by the time the charges came down. Suhail returned to the U.S. earlier this year and has pleaded not guilty.
Ahmed, meanwhile, has been held in a jail in Belgrade, Serbia, since his arrest there on Nov. 30. His lawyers recently said he's no longer contesting extradition to the U.S. and could be returned to Chicago to face the charges by the end of the month.
So far, the massive investigation into alleged fraud by Loretto's executives has netted only one guilty plea.
EST. 2000
Earlier this month, Mohamed Sirajudeen, 54, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges alleging he helped Ahmed bill Medicare for tens of millions of dollars in COVID-19 tests in 2021, many of which were never actually performed.
Ahmed remains charged in that case as well.
But two others had charges against them dismissed in June, shortly after U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman had ordered an evidentiary hearing into alleged grand jury misconduct by the U.S. attorney's office.

Pfleger reinstated to St. Sabina following child abuse investigation
By Allison Kiehl CHICAGO TRIBUNE
After a monthlong investigation, the Rev. Michael Pfleger has been reinstated as the head of St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham and cleared of all allegations of child sexual abuse.
The Archdiocese of Chicago announced Pfleger's return to the church in a press release Monday evening, stating that “there is no reason to believe Father Pfleger is guilty of this allegation.”
On July 11, Pfleger, the longtime pastor of St. Sabina and an outspoken social justice advocate, was accused of sexual abuse of a minor more than 30 years ago. He was removed from the South Side church by an independent review board, and the archdiocese's Office of Child Protection investigated the claims.
Monday evening, Pfleger took to social media to announce his reinstatement, writing “Thank you God and thanks to all who stood by me.”
Pfleger was not available for immediate comment Tuesday.
There is no timeline for how long an investigation may take, as each case is different, according to Mayra Flores, director of the Office for Assistance Ministry at the Archdiocese of Chicago. Pfleger was away from his parish for around six weeks.
During Pfleger's weeks away from St. Sabina, Malachi Hunter, a parishioner and employee of the church, said some churchgoers stopped coming in Pfleger's absence. Pfleger was also forced to miss some of the parish's biggest events of the year, including the annual backto-school block party and resource fair.
"It's just hurtful at the end of the day that he has to go through this with all he does for the community," Hunter said. "It's very hurtful. We're just glad they made a decision."
Cory Williams, an assistant to Pfleger, said parishioners who did attend were tithing less, and food pantry operations were also disrupted because Pfleger was not present to ensure there were enough resources to feed up to 1,500 people each week.
"The spirit wasn't the same as it normally is," Williams said.
This wasn't Pfleger's first absence from the church due to sexual abuse accusations. In 2021, he was accused of molesting two preteen brothers during the early 1970s while serving as choir director at Precious Blood Catholic Church. Months later, a third accuser alleged that when he was 18, Pfleger made an unwanted sexual advance in the priest's bedroom area at St. Sabina Church in 1979.
Pfleger was reinstated after an archdiocese panel found “insufficient reason to suspect" that he was guilty of the allegations.
Pfleger was accused of sexual abuse again in 2022 by a man who alleged that the priest abused him at St. Sabina in the late 1980s. He was reinstated after an investigation by the diocese determined that the allegations were unfounded. It is unclear if Pfleger will return to the pulpit on Sunday.
"We're glad he's back," Hunter said. "Father Michael is going to continue to preach truth and be a pillar in the community the best he can be."

ment of the track is necessary to fix the problems plaguing the line, which opened in 1958. "It is 70 years old, and much of that track and supporting infrastructure remains in place today," chief planning and innovation officer Molly Poppe said in an interview with the Tribune this month.

A CTA Blue Line Forest Park-bound train approaches the Illinois Medical District station on July 22 in Chicago.
Keith Long waits for a CTA Blue Line Forest Park-bound train at the Illinois Medical District station on July 22 in Chicago.
The agency has already replaced some track on the aging line. But the rest of the planned rebuild will be a massive and time-consuming undertaking.
Design work is slated to start later this year, and that process alone could take two years. Beyond the track replacement, most stations along the line need accessibility upgrades. The CTA must reopen the abandoned Central Blue Line station in the Austin neighborhood, or construct a new station near it, pursuant to the state's transit funding and reform legislation. The drainage system along the corridor – which is plagued by flooding – needs to be replaced, too.
And then there's the billion-dollar question — how will it all get paid for?
The CTA has estimated that the total cost of the project — including the portions that have already been funded or completed — could be about \$3 billion. The CTA described the number as a preliminary estimate and said cost estimates could change as design work progresses.
"The progress has taken entirely too long to get to this area," said Oak Park Village President Vicki Scaman.
"If we're going to see our residents get out of their cars and taking the train, then that train needs to be getting them to where they need to go in less time than their car would," she said.
BEYOND ITS USEFUL LIFE
In transit parlance, the Forest Park branch track is “beyond its useful life.” In practice, that means the infrastructure is essentially too old to function well.
Old railway “ties” — the wood or composite planks that run perpendicular to the rail — can crack or rot. Aging infrastructure might lead to dips in the track. Those problems, along with a number of other issues, might lead the CTA to choose to run trains slower over a certain section of track so that the cars exert less force on the infrastructure as they rumble over it.
CTA inspectors regularly traverse the agency's entire rail system looking for defects, turning down speeds when needed. And the agency also conducts regular slow zone mitigation work — like replacing problematic ties — that then allow speeds to be turned back up.
That's why slow zones fluctuate from month to month.
On the Forest Park branch, those mitigation measures aren't enough because of the weakness of the underlying infrastructure.
“It is an entire rebuild of the track bed and drainage system,” Poppe said. “It’s not just remove a tie,” she said.
Not all slow zones are caused by track conditions. Signal and power issues can lead to a slow zone classification, too. So can construction.
In 2023, the CTA rebuilt a section of track on a portion of the Forest Park branch close to downtown, between the LaSalle and Illinois Medical District stations. But some of that stretch is still classified as a slow zone — not because of track conditions, but because of ongoing construction.
Overall, the proportion of the branch classified as a slow zone has only grown since that portion of the project was completed several years ago.
Work on another section of track farther west — between the Kedzie-Homan and Pulaski stations — has been funded with the help of \$111 million in federal money. Construction is expected to begin on that 2-mile stretch next year.
But there is no real timeline yet for when shovels might go in the ground on the rest of the track replacement project.
In a timeline estimate provided to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the CTA put the project's “open to traffic” year in 2040. In response to a question about that estimate, the CTA said the project's timeline would be contingent on securing funding for the entire branch.
When asked why, given the age of the track, the CTA had not gotten the ball rolling sooner on track replacement, Poppe pointed to the work the agency had already done on the line, including the first stage track replacement, planning for which she said would've started around 2020 or earlier. "We've all been working really diligently ... but it is huge, it is complex," she said.
The CTA acknowledges the Forest Park branch is a big problem.
"This corridor is in dire need of attention," acting CTA President Nora Leerhsen said at the agency's July board meeting, during which board members approved an agreement that will pave the way for the project's design work to begin.
"I hear people transferring often to the Green Line because of the slower Blue Line on the West Side," she said.
Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins said he gets complaints about speed from his constituents, too.
"I hear concerns about how long it takes to get downtown. I also hear concerns about safety," said Hoskins, who is an incoming member of the board of the Northern Illinois Transit Authority
— the new regional transit governing body that will soon oversee the CTA.
Poppe said the CTA was looking at “all the various pots of money that are available to us” to make the rebuild happen. The CTA has already secured some federal funding for portions of the project, including for the \$111 million track work portion slated to start next year, and since 2019 has received \$274 million in state funds for projects on the Forest Park branch, too.
Poppe said the agency did not have a specific target for how much of the project should be federally funded. But massive transit capital projects often rely on federal dollars.
The CTA's Red Line Extension, for instance, was funded with the help of almost \$2 billion in federal dollars secured during the waning days of the administration of former President Joe Biden.
But President Donald Trump's administration last year froze the already-awarded Red Line dollars over what it said was an investigation into racial preferences in contracting, threatening the future of the project before a federal judge intervened and temporarily unfroze the money, allowing construction to begin.
"The federal funding picture for massive capital investments for transit is discouraging," said Kate Lowe, a professor of urban planning and policy at University of Illinois Chicago, adding that the Trump administration "tries to reward allies and punish political opponents."
Poppe noted the Forest Park rebuild would not necessarily be funded under the same federal program as the Red Line Extension. The New York Times reported last month that the Trump administration had not signed a single new agreement under that program since his second term began.
One expert did wonder whether the Red Line project — which has faced criticism for its price tag, which has ballooned to more than \$5.7 billion — could affect the CTA's ability to secure funding for Forest Park, as well as its ability to use other funds to help pay for it.
"The Red Line Extension has real trade-offs," said Joe Schwieterman of DePaul's Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development. "Ask Washington for funding for one project, it hurts your chances for another," he added.
CTA spokesperson Catherine Hosinski said the agency had been “highly successful” at securing federal funding and had specifically secured federal money — including \$180 million for Forest Park — during the time that the Red Line Extension grant was under review by the feds.
THE EISENHOWER AND THE BLUE LINE
Adding a layer of complexity to the Forest Park rebuild is the fact that the Illinois Department of Transportation is planning to reconstruct the similarly aged and congested Eisenhower Expressway, another major capital undertaking on the same transportation corridor.
CTA and IDOT have agreed to work together in a joint office in coordination with CMAP to push work along the corridor forward. The agencies say they are working together to think about the projects holistically.
On the rail side, for instance, the funding the CTA plans to use for the design portion of the track rebuild includes an almost \$16 million congestion relief grant from the Federal Highway Administration that IDOT secured on behalf of the transit agency.
IDOT program development engineer Steve Schilke explained that IDOT sees improving CTA rail service as something that would help draw cars off I-290. "(There) is a congestion relief component of using transit to help offset the overcapacity expressway," he said.
Still, the setup adds some logistical challenges to the process.
"It's not just bringing in the infrastructure that you need to fix your portion of the corridor, it's how do you also make sure when you're bringing that equipment in, you're not impacting one of the other modes," Poppe said.
Like the CTA, IDOT is already working along the corridor, including on overhead bridge structures and on drainage work.
Not everyone is convinced the agencies' current level of coordination is sufficient to ensure the best possible outcome for both projects.
“We feel that more comprehensive coordination is needed to ensure the best possible outcomes for the corridor,” said Audrey Wennink of the Metropolitan Planning Council.
Wennink noted, for example, that the planning council has pushed for highway caps — structures built over highways that can be turned into pedestrian crossings or other useful land like bike lanes — that would in turn involve changes to some CTA stations along the corridor.
“We want to keep as many options open as possible,” Wennink said.
RIVER

At the top left is the closed Vermilion Power Station, near Oakwood, Illinois. Dynegy Midwest Generation, owner of the station, announced Aug. 14 that erosion along the bank of the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River could cause a coal ash impoundment on the river's east side, between the power station and the river in the middle of the photo, to collapse. In this photo, the river is at or near flood stage on Aug. 16, 2026, raising the threat level. Dynegy plans to install 500 feet of rock along the river to halt the erosion.

High water in the Vermilion River passes under a bridge on North 900 East Road on Aug. 18 in Potomac. After storms brought rain and flooding to the area, some residents are worried the eroding riverbank could collapse and allow coal ash to flow into the river.

Fork to over 18 feet on Aug. 16 — the river's third-highest level on record, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Dynegy reported earlier this month that erosion along the riverbank has reached a “trigger event,” a threshold established to prompt action before the coal ash ponds are at risk of breaching.
The company plans to install 500 feet of rock along the bank beginning after Labor Day to halt further erosion. The stabilization project is a preventative measure, not an emergency response, said Vistra's communications manager, Jenny Lyon, in an Aug. 14 email to the Tribune.
But watching the water levels rise, the Camps worry that increasingly severe flooding could accelerate erosion before the reinforcement is built.
"One huge flood could change it overnight," Mike Camp said.
The Vermilion River's Middle Fork has been the subject of legal battles since 2018, when Prairie Rivers Network, an Illinois nonprofit focused on protecting the state's waterways, and Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law firm, sued Dynegy to clean up three coal ash ponds that, according to the environmental groups, contain enough ash to fill the Empire State Building twice over.
Dynegy reports have found that multicolored coal ash sludge along the Middle Fork contains arsenic, chromium, lead, manganese and other toxic substances.
"As long as the ash is there, this is going to hit a crisis moment or hit the pre-crisis moment like it did this time," said Andrew Rehn, climate policy director at Prairie Rivers Network. "How many more times are we going to have to intervene before the coal ash is removed?"
'THE FOREVER PROJECT'
In 2019, Illinois passed a coal ash pollution reduction law requiring coal ash sites across the state to submit closure plans to the IEPA by 2022. Rehn said he believes the lawsuit was the “inciting event” that spurred Illinois to regulate coal ash cleanup statewide.
Coal ash is the hazardous byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity. It creates a sludge of toxic carcinogens that are dumped into holes or ponds.
In 2023, the Illinois attorney general's office obtained a court order requiring Dynegy to remove the coal ash from the Vermilion floodplain and relocate it to the site of the retired power plant. The plan must also be approved by the IEPA.
Vermilion is just one coal ash site among dozens across the state awaiting IEPA's green light to begin cleaning up toxic coal ash.
Rehn said the state's coal ash law was designed to prioritize sites based on factors including environmental justice concerns and the stability of the site. The Vermilion location, he said, should be among those receiving the most urgent attention because the river is actively eroding toward the coal ash.
“We don’t have a single closure permit that’s even made it all the way through the process yet,” Rehn said. “I’m hoping that this is the first one that gets there, which would definitely be in the spirit of the law.”
For Kristin Camp, the law's passage was a victory for Vermilion County residents, but years later, it has yet to translate into action.
“A small group of citizens was able to get a state coal ash bill passed, which was a huge win,” she said. “But then (the Middle Fork cleanup) just got stalled. It needs to get moving and get done because otherwise if it breaches, it will be extremely, extremely disrupting. It will be catastrophic.”
Kim Biggs, an IEPA spokesperson, said the Vermilion permit application remains under review. The agency determined in February that the plan failed to meet state standards, she said, and Dynegy has since responded to the notice.
"The ash removal plan has not yet been approved because the identified technical deficiencies must be adequately addressed before the Illinois EPA can make a tentative permit determination," Biggs said in an email to the Tribune.
Once Dynegy's coal ash removal plan is approved, Lyon said it will take 12 years to complete.
For Rehn, Dynegy's latest erosion report underscores the urgency of that review.
"The river is actively eroding where the coal ash is, and we need to find the solution there," he said.
'A WAKEUP CALL'
“It just seems like this should be the slam dunk one, and it’s also a site where we have a clock,” Rehn said. “We’re seeing that clock is starting to really tick.”
Rehn said it's also critical to remove the ash before it contaminates the soil.
While Dynegy and environmental advocates await the IEPA's decision, the site operator is required to submit monthly erosion monitoring reports to state agencies, Prairie Rivers Network and Earthjustice documenting the condition of the Middle Fork and its proximity to the three coal ash ponds.
Vermilion is a free-flowing river, a natural waterway unaltered by human-made structures like dams. While this quality makes the river rare in Illinois, Rehn explained, it also makes its banks susceptible to erosion.
On Aug. 4, Dynegy disclosed that its June 30 inspection determined erosion had reached the trigger line — a threshold established in a 2023 emergency response plan designed to prompt action to reinforce the riverbank and prevent a breach.
Dynegy now plans to install 500 feet of rock along the affected section. The company says the trigger line was established well before the point of actual risk, allowing it to act before a crisis develops. The company also said the riverbank retains 1.5 times the load-bearing capacity it needs.
"There has been no release, no breach, and no change in the condition of the ash ponds," Lyon wrote in the email to the Tribune. "The embankments continue to perform as designed, with strength and capacity to spare. This stabilization initiative is a preventative, not emergency response."
But the Camps say the river conditions in the weeks since that June inspection have given them new cause for concern and increased the urgency for the erosion to be addressed. They fear a breach at the Vermilion site could be as devastating as the 2008 coal ash spill at Tennessee's Kingston Fossil Plant, which released more than 1 billion gallons of toxic ash into nearby waterways and properties.
"It would be like that, or worse," Kristin Camp said. "It needs to happen because there are going to continue to be flooding events and severe weather events and they appear to just be getting more severe, quickly."
Flooding over the past 20 years has altered the river's channels, Mike Camp said.
As human-caused climate change makes the Midwest warmer and wetter, heavy rainfall and flooding are becoming more frequent and intense.
Kristin Camp is also concerned about what prolonged exposure to the coal ash could mean for groundwater and drinking water. Many residents in Vermilion County, including the Camps, rely on private wells.
Concerns about the site's stability have grown as environmental advocates question the timing of Dynegy's disclosure of its latest erosion report.
The inspection occurred on June 30, but the company did not disclose the threshold had been reached until August. Rehn said he learned of the stabilization plan on Aug. 7, more than five weeks after the inspection.
Dynegy's July 31 report stated there were “no signs of significant erosion or cracking of the riverbank” since the June 30 inspection. Neither the June nor July reports mentioned the trigger threshold had been reached or that a bank stabilization project had been initiated.
Environmental advocates said the omission raises concerns about the transparency of the monitoring reports.
"In addition to the delays in removing the coal ash, we are troubled by the lack of transparency shown in Dynegy's monthly erosion inspection reports," said Lan Richart, co-director of the Eco-Justice Collaborative, in an Aug. 11 news release. The Champaign-based environmental advocacy group has worked closely with the Prairie Rivers Network on coal ash regulation in Illinois, including efforts to protect the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River.
"Why was reference to the need for bank stabilization omitted from the reports?" Richart wrote. "The public deserves — and Dynegy is obligated to provide — accurate and timely information about this project."
Jenny Cassel, an attorney for Earthjustice, said the firm is reviewing the omission.
"The Consent Order provides for stipulated penalties for failure to comply with a variety of provisions in the Order; we continue to evaluate the appropriate follow-up in this situation," Cassel said in a statement Friday.
Lyon said the claim "As long as the ash is there, this is going to hit a crisis moment or hit the pre-crisis moment like it did this time. How many more times are we going to have to intervene before the coal ash is removed?"
ANDREW REHN, climate policy director at Prairie Rivers Network
that Dynegy had not been transparent is “false,” as it promptly notified the IEPA, the attorney general’s office and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources two days after assessing the conditions in late June.
Nevertheless, Rehn said he's glad Dynegy ultimately disclosed the erosion to environmental groups and is taking steps to reinforce the riverbank.
"I would hope that this is a wake-up call," Rehn said. "It's a reminder that it's not a static river. Nothing's changed in the regulatory process, but a lot has changed for this river in four years."
What makes the situation so difficult to manage, he explained, is rivers can erode gradually for years, then change dramatically in a single flood.
“That’s what’s tricky about river erosion: It happens steadily, and then it happens all at once,” he said.
In the email to the Tribune, Lyon said Dynegy's immediate goal is to keep the ash stable while the permanent closure plan moves through the regulatory process.
"The solution is the permanent closure, but until then, our job is to keep the coal ash stable and secure and to protect the Middle Fork, the adjacent wildlife area, and the people who use them," she said.
For Mike Camp, who's spent much of his life advocating for the Middle Fork's protection, the 'glacial pace' of state action is frustrating.
In the 1980s, he was among the residents who pushed for the river to receive national scenic river status, a designation meant to preserve its natural, recreational and scenic values. The effort ultimately laid the groundwork for what are now the Kickapoo State Recreation Area and Middle Fork State Fish and Wildlife Area.
“I’m the most reluctant activist in the world,” he said. “But some things are worth fighting for.”

Data centers should lower homeowners' property taxes, not raise them
SCOTT STANTIS/FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
More people would accept a nuclear power plant in their community than a data center, according to recent Gallup polling. Who would have predicted that even five years ago?
The facilities needed to power the rise of artificial intelligence as well as to allow us to continue our collective smartphone addiction are wildly unpopular.
And yet even as they draw bipartisan ire, data centers are a fact of modern life. Given that, it'd be best for the public to make — and get — the most of them.
The trouble is, while data centers elsewhere have led to property tax relief, in Cook County we've been giving many of them preferential tax treatment even as homeowners' bills continue to go up.
Consider the head-lines on data centers and property taxes in Loudoun County, Virginia, versus Cook County.
In Loudoun County, referred to sometimes as "Data Center Alley" as a nod to its more than 250 data centers, the industry is expected to generate \$1.3 billion in tax revenue next year. With this boon has come a downward trajectory of residential property tax bills, which have fallen by about 30% over the past decade, according to The New York Times.
You can argue about the tradeoffs, but you can't argue with the math.
Loudoun has found a way for a huge data-center industry to generate enormous local revenue and homeowner tax relief; Cook County should examine why its own structure is producing such a different outcome.
Cook County is much larger than Loudoun County in both population and land. We have far fewer data centers — just over 100, with more planned.
That's not nothing.
Northlake, a small western suburb, is home to multiple data centers, including the largest such facility in the whole state. That burg's experience, however, is nothing like Loudoun County's.
Northlake's total residential property tax bill went up $13.3\%$ in tax year 2025 compared with the previous year, according to a new report from Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas.
It didn't have to be this way. Tribune and Illinois Answers Project found that the average Northlake homeowner would save more than \$2,000 on their annual tax bill — a difference of almost 30% — if local data centers did not receive valuation reductions and incentives, according to their analysis.
It's true that data centers in Cook County still pay property taxes. But while homeowners are watching their bills climb, many of these data centers enjoy tens of millions of dollars in property tax savings. Tribune and IAP reporting found that data centers received nearly \$100 million in combined property-tax savings from two sources: county tax incentives and reductions in their assessed valuations upon appeal.
One of those incentives is Cook County's Class 6b program, a decades-old economic-development tool intended to encourage industrial investment. Class 6b allows the county to offer qualifying industrial properties substantial property tax relief by reducing assessments over a 12-year period. Data centers have been allowed to qualify for that industrial subsidy.
Cook County thankfully now appears to recognize that its incentive system needs updating, and there's a natural deadline for doing so: The provisions governing Class 6b and several other county incentives expire at the end of 2027 unless the Cook County Board renews them. The county has commissioned independent studies of its economic development incentives and signaled interest in reform; its own analysis found that these incentives remove $11\%$ of Cook County's commercial and industrial property value from taxation.
That brings us to the obvious question: Why are we using a decades-old industrial-development subsidy to discount the property taxes of one of the hottest and wealthiest industries of 2026 while homeowners' bills keep rising?
At the state level, Gov. JB Pritzker in June announced a pause on new state tax-incentive agreements for data centers. The county should take a page out of the governor's book.
Pappas pointed out that “residential taxes in the north and northwest suburbs increased at a pace more than triple that of the inflation rate.” Some of this comes from referendums “approved in off-year elections by an average of one in five eligible voters,” as Pappas puts it.
But that hardly accounts for the entire increase; not every municipality approved tax-hike referendums. Given that overall property taxes in Cook County have risen for 32 years straight, according to Pappas, it behooves local officials to make sure the pain is divided equally. (It also behooves them to figure out ways to cut costs, but that's another story.)
We live in a state in which lawmakers balked at giving the Chicago Bears “property tax certainty.”
Why, then, are local officials handing over tens of millions of dollars in incentives to data centers?
Of course, it's obvious why local officials felt compelled to make this decision. It's the same reason the Bears called for property tax relief as part of the deal to come to Arlington Heights.
They argue that because of Illinois' extraordinarily high property taxes, these developments never would've happened without subsidies.
But some commercial developments are of greater public value than others. There are some investments — particularly those that create family-sustaining jobs over the long haul — for which tax incentives are well justified.
As we've stated more than once, states live in a competitive world. In cases where an impactful new factory or business is being wooed by multiple jurisdictions, Illinois and its local governments absolutely should seek to put competitive packages on the table.
Data centers simply aren't in that category. Not anymore. A few years ago, the data center industry could effectively pit states against each other and thereby win incentives. Now they are anathema in many parts of the country. We're seeing localities that open their doors to data centers experience intense blowback from constituents, in Republican as well as Democratic areas.
Parts of Chicagoland are attractive to data center developers due to their access to broadband, water and energy resources, among other attributes. These projects should be considered on their merits. And, at a bare minimum, they should alleviate the tax burden where they're located, not exacerbate it.

Football is an incredible game, combining skill, speed, strength, violence and (perhaps most underrated) the task each and every play of having 11 men working in concert to run or pass the weirdly shaped ball forward while 11 men on the other side of the line of scrimmage work in concert to prevent any such advancement.
So as we wax enthusiastic about this American rite of fall, here comes The New York Times to prick our consciences with an important story on the brutal physical toll this game takes on those who play it professionally. Of all 2,079 former NFL players known to have died between 2008 and 2021, 16.6% had been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain condition better known as CTE, according to a new study.
The prevalence surely is far higher. About one quarter of the 878 former players who died between 2016 and 2021 had CTE, based on actual examinations of brains from 235 athletes. Of those 235, a mind-boggling 215 were positive for CTE, meaning that at minimum 25% of the 878 who passed away in that period had the disease. The actual percentage may be considerably higher, researchers from Boston University, Mass General Brigham and
UNITE Brain Bank, among others, concluded.
This brain disease is tied to dementia and other cognitive disorders. The clear cause of so much CTE in football players is the repeated blows to the head suffered while playing the sport.
The physical price professional football players pay has been well-known for years. You will frequently see former players quoted as saying they would do it all again, even as they walk with limps and suffer lingering joint pain. But degenerative brain disease is hardly in the same league as limited mobility and former players are growing more vocal about the issue. As they should.
Fans should care, too. We're complicit in allowing an unacceptable risk to player health to persist if we don't join the players in demanding the league do everything possible to make the game safer. By its nature, football never will be “safe” per se, but there are steps available to better protect players.
Indeed, the NFL has taken some important ones in recent years, an era in which most if not all of the players who were examined for CTE did not play. The league has instituted concussion protocols and sharply penalized injurious actions like helmet-to-helmet tackles, for example. Helmet technology has improved as well, with some players using specialized guardian caps that are said to reduce impact by about 10%.
Will these steps reduce the incidence of CTE in the future? We hope so, for the sake of the players and the game.
What's clear from this alarming study, though, is that the league can't stop here. There must be continuous striving for improvement, whether in the rules or in equipment technology. And while those are underway, the NFL must be fully transparent with the public and most of all with players and their families about the state of current research so that they can make informed judgments about whether the rewards of a pro football career are worth the cost.
As to those who grumble that the game has gotten “soft” or rules designed to protect players are “ruin-ing” the game, that point of view should be firmly rejected. And players who retire in their prime, as Bears center Drew Dalman did during this past off-season, ought to be held up as positive examples. Perhaps shorter football careers will allow players to lead long, healthy lives; we won’t be surprised to see many more follow in Dalman’s footsteps.
Year after year, football is an enthralling spectacle. There's a reason no other professional sport comes close to the NFL in terms of cultural dominance.
But, as hegemonic as the NFL is, we shouldn't tolerate this level of occupational hazard in what, after all, exists for our entertainment.
ON THIS DAY 56 YEARS AGO A PLAN TO SAVE CON-CON
Proposed constitutions have been rejected by the voters in several states, largely because opponents of various features joined forces to work against the new charters. Delegates to the Illinois Constitutional Convention were warned of this danger ... and they were advised to submit every controversial matter to the voters separately. Now the convention, nearing its end, finds itself caught in the trap which all its well wishers hoped would be avoided.
Two highly controversial issues—single member districts for state representatives and continuation of judicial elections on a political basis—are to be submitted separately, but they are also in the main constitutional document....
Both of these opposition groups know that the main document is likely to get more votes than the separate submissions. They may hesitate or refuse, therefore, to support the main document. ...
Added to these handicaps for the proposed new constitution are the widespread distrust of government, resentment against high taxes, and fearfulness of change at a time of unsettled social conditions. ... Unless something is done to remedy these faults, the active opponents of the proposed new constitution are likely to be victorious. ...
Obviously it is now too late to rewrite the document. It is not too late, however, to make some changes ... Samuel W. Witmer, president of the convention, has suggested these steps:
Take out of the main document the provision requiring the election of State House members from single member districts.
Take out of the main document the provision for the continuation of judicial elections on a political basis.
Revise the separate submission proposals so that these two questions will be offered as amendments to the present constitution, as well as provisions of the proposed constitution.
There are arguments on both sides of these key questions. THE TRIBUNE favors the present cumulative voting system for House members so that minority representation can be assured in all parts of the state. We favor the merit selection plan, not because we think it would be perfect, but because it would improve the quality of our judges.... Now is the time to let the people vote and decide what they want.
... The convention should get itself out of the trap which threatens to make all its labors useless.

Will he run again? Johnson has the luxury of waiting to decide
Mayor Brandon Johnson walks through Chicago City Hall on June 16 before a media briefing. BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Laura Washington
Will he, or won't he? What does he hope to gain by delaying his decision? Those questions have put Chicago's political class on tenterhooks.
We all want to know: Will Mayor Brandon Johnson decide to run for a second term?
Petitions have been out on the streets for weeks. There are nine candidates looking to win the February 2027 election, but so far, the mayor isn't one of them.
For weeks, reporters have been asking “are you in?” For weeks, Johnson has been answering that he will decide “soon.” It’s getting late.
What does Johnson hope to accomplish by dragging his feet? After all, he's not an NFL receiver trying to stay in bounds.
Some observers roll their eyes and opine that Johnson doesn't have a chance of winning, so why should he bother to put himself through the wringer?
When reporters prodded him at a press briefing late last month, Johnson replied, “as much as I know, there’s this hurry to get to February. I’m in no rush, right? I don’t have a reason to be in a rush.”
Indeed, as an incumbent, Johnson has the luxury of waiting.
Instead, he touts his administration's “progress,” and noted, “As I’ve repeated on multiple occasions, there’s no mayor in modern history that can ever say that they oversaw the city at a time in which our economy is growing and violence is going down.”
As the only true progressive in a crowded contest, he does have a clear lane forward. As an African American contender, it's another story. If past electoral history bears out, the businessman and philanthropist Willie Wilson will likely capture as much as 10% of the vote, largely from African Americans. That will come out of Johnson's hide, and it could be consequential.
Johnson's critics argue the mayor has lost credibility on the managerial and competence side of the equation. His activist base, however, strenuously posits that he's making progress in bringing down crime and addressing social
Don't count him out. It's a long way from February. He has the time and bandwidth to get his most committed voters out to put him in a runoff.
and economic inequities.
Still, Johnson is buffeted by challenges. Police Superintendent Larry Snelling retired after a celebrated run, leaving the Police Department up in the air. Bally's Chicago, the company that is building the \$1.7 billion casino complex in River West, is on shaky financial ground. The Chicago Public Schools system is strapped for resources.
At the end of June, Johnson's political campaign fund reported just \$631,309 available, according to state records. A leading mayoral aspirant, Illinois Secretary of State
Alexi Giannoulias, boasts a \$22 million-plus war chest.
The Chicago Teachers Union is mired in a battle with the Service Employees International Union, a once-staunch ally. Both unions donated heavily to the mayor's first campaign, but they may not have a unified front this time. CTU will be forced to fight on two fronts, the local school board elections and the mayor's contest, a major tactical and financial disadvantage.
Yet, the sharpest political observers are presuming Johnson will give it another go.
It's incumbency. Johnson is keeping the focus on "the mayor," not the mayor's race. As the best known of the contestants, he can use his bully pulpit to cheer on his agenda.
His path is narrow. Just $13.6\%$ of Chicago voters said they want Johnson to run again, according to a poll commissioned by the University of Chicago's Mansueto
Institute for Urban Innovation. The survey, taken in mid-June, found that $58\%$ of respondents are not excited by another Johnson campaign. Johnson's job approval rating had dropped to $23\%$ , compared with $25\%$ last December.
Don't count him out. It's a long way from February. He has the time and bandwidth to get his most committed voters out to put him in a runoff.
This wait-and-see moment reminds me of years ago, when a certain two-term mayor appeared to be gearing up for a reelection campaign. It was September 2018. The fall election season had arrived.
Rahm Emanuel was facing stiff headwinds, including criticism for closing dozens of Chicago schools and mental health clinics. There was his alleged, notorious role in a cover-up of the police murder of Laquan McDonald. Those controversies haunt him to this day.
But he was still feared and powerful. The sharpest political observers presumed he would give it another shot.
Then one sleepy morning, the day after Labor Day, Emanuel called a City Hall press conference and dropped a bombshell. He would not run for reelection. That blew the campaign wide open and paved the way for the election of the then-little known Lori Lightfoot.
Was Emanuel just tired of the massive challenge of running Chicago? Or was he hedging his bets and getting out while he was still on top?
Brandon Johnson is not Rahm Emanuel.

Chicago's fiscal crisis is a growth crisis
Pedestrians cross the Wells Street Bridge over the Chicago River with a skyline view on June 7. BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
By Stuart Loren SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
As the race for Chicago's next mayor takes shape, city finances are top of mind. Revenue for 2026 is falling short of projections and, in recent weeks, the city's budget director and acting chief financial officer resigned just as Chicago heads into the 2027 budget season facing a projected \$1.16 billion deficit and growing pension pressures. Meanwhile, our credit sits on the precipice of junk, with negative outlooks from three of the four major rating agencies. The city's fiscal problems are cascading from one crisis into the next.
Predictably, the mayor and his allies offer a familiar diagnosis: insufficient taxation — on corporations and the wealthy not paying their “fair share.” Perhaps they are unaware Illinois imposes a 9.5% corporate income tax rate, one of the highest in the nation. Or that on an index of six major state and local tax categories — spanning sales, property and income taxes — Chicago ranks first overall among the 25 largest U.S. cities, leading both the resident and business categories.
The truth is that if higher taxes were the answer to the city's financial predicaments, we would have already solved them. Instead, taxes distract from the underlying cause – and arguably contribute to it. The city's fiscal problems and much of its political dysfunction are downstream of its horrendous economic growth record.
Let's review some rather depressing data. Since 2002, my analysis shows economic growth in Cook County — the closest official proxy for Chicago's economy — trailed the broader U.S. in 20 out of 23 years, growing $1\%$ annually in inflation-adjusted real terms versus the nation's $2.2\%$ . The gap narrowed under Mayor Rahm Emanuel but never closed. The city has trailed the nation under
every mayor from Richard M. Daley onward. Compounded, the U.S. economy grew 64% over that stretch. Ours grew only 25%.
Had Chicago merely matched the national average, our economy would be one-third larger today. That missing output, which amounts to \$173 billion per year as of 2024, is the investment, jobs and dynamism that give residents and businesses the opportunity to prosper, improve the local quality of life and — critically for city finances — generate a healthy tax base.
Just how much would that healthier tax base have delivered? To estimate the budget effect, I modeled how Chicago's major taxes respond to growth, using sensitivities calibrated to leading public-finance research. For instance, for every $1\%$ increase in the economy, sales tax revenue rises $0.85\%$ , utility tax revenue
0.35% and transaction tax revenue 1.2%. Had Chicago kept pace with the national economy, it would have collected about \$1.1 billion more in nonproperty taxes in 2025 — nearly the size of next year's projected budget gap. A larger economy also could have supported roughly \$570 million more in property taxes while keeping the city's levy at its 2025 share of the economy.
In the absence of stronger growth, Chicago has repeatedly turned to higher taxes. The sustained climb in new taxes and higher tax rates began after 2014. Since then, the city's property tax levy has nearly doubled, from \$930 million to \$1.8 billion. The combined sales tax rate confronting Chicagoans climbed from 9.25% to 10.5%. The city also created a water and sewer tax, extended its amusement tax to streaming and nearly doubled its tax on software and equipment leases, from 8% to 15%. That reliance on higher taxes persists: The city's own 2025 financial report attributes revenue growth primarily to “higher taxes and fees.”
Based on Chicago's actual 2025 economy, the mix of taxes and tax rates in place in 2014 would have generated only about \$4.7 billion, versus approximately \$6.2 billion generated last year by the city's current tax structure. In other words, Chicago needed about 31% more revenue than the 2014 tax system would have produced. Had Chicago grown at the national rate, that same 2014 mix would have generated about \$6 billion, requiring only about 4% more to reach last year's actual total. Simply put, stronger growth could have made most of Chicago's post-2014 tax escalation unnecessary.
The effects would extend beyond the annual budget to pensions and schools. In that stronger growth scenario, the \$1.1 billion in additional nonproperty tax revenue and \$570 million in property tax capacity would together approach \$1.7 billion
— about 58% of Chicago's 2025 pension contribution. A larger property base also would have supported more revenue from CPS' separate property tax levy.
Worse, stagnation strains Chicago's politics as much as its finances. When the economy doesn't grow enough, every budget becomes a zero-sum fight over who pays, who benefits and what gets cut. To be sure, growth alone is not sufficient: Budgets still demand discipline, and no mayor controls the national economy. But almost every peer city has done better, so surely we can too. Growth broadens the tax base and gives workers, businesses and government a shared stake in success. It creates room to improve services and fund public priorities without making every gain someone else's loss.
That brings us back to the mayoral race. The question voters should ask is which candidate can offer a credible growth plan that makes it easier and more attractive to build, hire and invest here
— and gives people and businesses more reason to stay. After a quarter-century of stagnation, Chicago can ill afford any more of it. Weak growth risks triggering a downward spiral of higher taxes, deteriorating services and people and businesses leaving. The next mayor's first job is not finding something new to tax. It is making Chicago grow.

The Chicagoan who rebuilt trust in the justice system after Watergate
By Michael Peregrine SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

The current national conversation on Watergate offers an important reminder of the slough through corruption and ethical erosion that tested the foundations of American democracy, degraded public faith in government and depleted the credibility of the United States attorney general. It is also a reminder of those who worked assiduously to restore that faith and credibility, notably including a legal scholar and academic from Chicago.
From 1972 through 1974, five different men served as either permanent or acting attorney general, an extraordinary leadership turnstile that undermined the principles and effectiveness of the office.
Of these five men, John Mitchell was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury for activities that began while in office. His successor, Richard Kleindienst, was convicted of contempt of Congress. The highly regarded Elliot Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus, both resigned as part of the "Saturday Night Massacre." Their successor, Robert H. Bork was succeeded by U.S. Sen. William Saxbe, who served until shortly after President Gerald Ford's inauguration.
More broadly, over 20 government-serving lawyers resigned or were indicted, disbarred and/or imprisoned in connection with Watergate-related abuses. Apart from Mitchell and Kleindienst, they included an acting FBI director, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the president's assistant for domestic affairs, the White House counsel, a special counsel to the president, the general counsel to the committee to reelect the president and the president's personal counsel.
Upon taking office, Ford was determined to redeem the integrity and trust of the justice system in general and the Department of Justice in particular. Ford knew that a traditional political appointment would not achieve that goal, that politics had no place in law enforcement – particularly not in decisions regarding specific cases. He thus sought as his attorney general a person who understood that distinction. For that extraordinary task, he selected the University of Chicago president,
Edward H. Levi.
Levi was essentially a Chicago native, having been schooled from kindergarten through law school within the University of Chicago educational system. After serving in the Department of Justice during World War II, he was appointed dean of the university's law school in 1950. He later served as provost and was ultimately tapped as president in 1968, where he led the university through the most turbulent social and political times until he was nominated as attorney general in early 1975.
Levi had no illusions regarding the difficulties he faced in office. At his swearing-in ceremony, he observed that "Nothing can more weaken the quality of life or more imperil the realization of the goals we all hold dear than our failure to make clear by words and deed that our law is not an instrument of partisan purpose." He thus set about to revive the Department of Justice's historical principles of
transparency, independence and integrity, which had deteriorated during the three Watergate years.
Levi's most tangible achievements in office arose in response to law-enforcement abuses exposed in the Watergate investigations. These achievements included the development of what became known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and preparing specific attorney general guidelines with respect to FBI domestic security investigations.
But more impressive and enduring were his intangible achievements, which were institutional in nature. They included restoring the administration of justice to its traditional “foundation of fairness and not upon favor,” his insistence on impartiality in law enforcement and the contribution of his reputation, candor and intellect to the department’s culture. From these achievements, others came to regard him as “the model of a
modern attorney general."
Of course, Levi was not the only Chicagoan engaged in addressing Watergate abuses. Famed defense attorney Albert E. Jenner Jr., served as minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry. Jill Wine-Banks was an assistant special prosecutor who famously cross-examined Nixon's secretary, Rose Mary Woods. And a young Yale law school graduate from Park Ridge, Hillary Rodham, was a staff researcher for the Judiciary Committee.
Yet in many ways, Levi's task was more elusive, and necessarily more daunting, than that of the prosecutors: remedying harm to the rule of law caused by Watergate's great abuses. In that role, he championed the role of the Department of Justice as a "special advocate," with respect to both defending governmental decisions at law and infusing them with the "qualities and values"
that had historically been the bedrock of the nation's constitutional system.
Following completion of his term in office, Levi returned to the University of Chicago, where he continued to pursue academic and public service, rather than self-advancement or personal financial gain. Upon Levi's death in 2000, President Ford described him as “the attorney general against whom all others are measured.”
History has done a credible job of identifying the many villains who participated in the Watergate scandal. It has done a less credible job of recognizing the far fewer heroes who helped the country overcome that scandal. We would thus do well to remember the heroic service of Chicagoan Edward H. Levi.

Voice of the People
Burke undermines reforms
In her op-ed “The electronic monitoring system is broken” (Aug. 19), Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen Burke essentially argues that charges alone should determine who is jailed pretrial, ignoring vital legal principles and laws.
The presumption of innocence and due process are the foundation of our criminal legal system. The U.S. Supreme Court confirmed decades ago that “in our society, liberty is the norm, and detention prior to trial ... is the carefully limited exception.” The Pretrial Fairness Act, critical racial justice legislation Burke claims to support, requires that a judge look at the facts of each individual case and circumstances of each person when deciding whether someone should be jailed awaiting trial.
In reality, Burke has continuously undermined the Pretrial Fairness Act. She has issued policies limiting the discretion of prosecutors by requiring them to seek detention in all cases in which certain allegations are made and requiring them to object whenever an accused person is placed on electronic monitoring, despite research showing that even people on electronic monitoring facing serious charges succeed while awaiting trial.
Burke, a former appellate court justice who has reviewed hundreds of unique cases and made individual rulings on them, should know better.
Researchers at Loyola University have shown that Burke's policies have caused a dramatic increase in pretrial jailing, even though crime began trending downward before she took office. Adopting Burke's electronic monitoring proposals would only worsen the problem.

Judges are not struggling to detain people they don't believe to be safe. The Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice recently published a report showing that judges granted $74\%$ of detention requests, even when the court's risk assessment tool identified defendants as low-risk. Since the Pretrial Fairness Act took effect, 94% of people in the community while awaiting trial in Cook County have not been charged with any new violent or person offense while on pretrial release.
Pretrial jailing causes people to lose jobs, housing and custody of their children — destabilization that increases the likelihood that people will be arrested in the future.
Charging decisions should never be the sole basis for deciding who is able to return to the community while their case is pending. In Cook County, approximately half of the detention-eligible cases filed result in dismissal or acquittal.
Burke's policies undermine public safety, due process and judicial independence. Rather than rolling back reforms she claimed to support, she should actually commit to them. — Cathryn Crawford, senior policy adviser, Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice, Chicago
State's attorney's omissions
Thank you for publishing the op-ed by Cook County State's Attorney Eileen Burke. She mentions many facts about the program with which no one
would disagree. There have been many public failures and far too many detainees placed on electronic monitoring, which she notes. She also states that “the Pretrial Fairness Act was founded on a sound principle.” One should not be able to buy oneself out of jail.
The problem with the op-ed is that she leaves out some important points. She states that “the critical question is whether the defendant poses a danger to the public” when a judge is deciding whether or not to jail a person before trial. Yet she leaves out the fact that before the Pretrial Fairness Act, these bond hearings could be as short as 30 seconds to a minute. That is hardly enough time to decide such an important issue. She also leaves out the fact that these hearings could involve monetary negotiations, with the judge asking the defense attorney how much the attorney’s client could afford for bail.
Most importantly, she leaves out the fact that recently, the Illinois Supreme Court assigned a task force to come up with solutions to the electronic monitoring problem. This task force includes judges, members of law enforcement, an academic and various stakeholders in the criminal
justice system from around the state.
I would like to see another op-ed from the state's attorney after we hear this group's recommendations.

Why vaccinating kids matters
Regarding the op-ed “Chicago’s kids deserve better than political theater on vaccines” (Aug. 20): As an older pediatrician and infectious disease specialist, I was practicing medicine when several current vaccines were not available. I have seen the consequences of a lack of vaccination in previously healthy children. In the 1980s, I repeatedly did spinal taps to diagnose children with bacterial meningitis. Some of those children developed hearing loss or other disabilities.
The promotion of doubt in parents regarding the safety of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is especially frustrating. Measles, cases of which are now increasing in the U.S., is extremely contagious in unvaccinated people. Serious complications such as pneumonia, brain damage and death can occur during acute infection. Even if a child does not experience a severe measles case, that child afterward has an increased risk of other types of infections because measles destroys a significant portion of “memory” immune cells. A child is then at increased risk for influenza, pneumonia and bacterial infections for months to years later.
In addition, a rare but devastating outcome of measles in a young child is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, or SSPE, a progressive brain disease. SSPE can happen even after a mild case of measles, typically seven to 10 years after initial infection. Very few physicians practicing in the U.S. today have seen SSPE. As
a medical student, I did a rotation with a pediatric neurologist who was a national SSPE expert. I vividly remember the parents seeking this physician's care, desperate for a cure for this heartbreaking, universally fatal disease in their previously healthy child.
For me, any proposal hindering receipt of the MMR vaccine is deeply upsetting. A friend recently asked me if a resurgence of paralytic polio would convince people of the dangers of not vaccinating their children. I said I do not know. What I do know is that “herd immunity” benefits all of us. I vaccinated my children not just to protect them from serious disease but also because I felt a moral obligation to those around them, including children who cannot be vaccinated due to immunodeficiency or a cancer diagnosis.
While I acknowledge the often-justified mistrust toward U.S. institutions, the only agenda of most pediatricians is working with parents to optimize their children's health. The benefits of the vaccines the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends have repeatedly been shown to outweigh their risks. All our kids deserve thoughtful vaccine recommendations based on science rather than misinformation and political theater.

North Chicago begins process of replacing older lead pipes
By Steve Sadin FOR THE LAKE COUNTY NEWS-SUN
Construction crews are in the process of replacing older lead pipes connecting North Chicago's water supply to 150 homes as the city begins its multiyear program to improve the drinking water for its residents at no expense to them.
With fewer than 1,000 homes in North Chicago containing lead pipes, Mayor Leon Rockingham Jr. said the initial focus this year is on the Broadway corridor. Homes built after 1990 most likely have copper pipes. Older houses, some more than 100 years old, contain lead pipes.
"I'm glad to see we are getting this done in our older homes," he said. "People with lead pipes will be able to feel better about the water they are receiving. We will continue to replace them until this is taken care of."
The city is continuing to replace lead pipes with copper ones in the older houses in the community with funds from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, ridding the community of pipes that might harm people or contaminate water.
While North Chicago is at the start of its lead pipe replacement program, Waukegan began its effort three years ago. It has completed work on approximately 1,200 homes of the 9,000 it believes need replacement. It is currently engaged in a public information campaign.
Steve Cieslica, North Chicago's city engineer, who works for Trotter and Associates, said this year's project is funded by a \$2.4 million forgivable loan from the IEPA. The IEPA is administering federal funds generated by former President Joseph Biden's infrastructure bill.
Cieslica said the city recently learned it would receive \$4.8 million in a forgivable loan from the IEPA next year, enabling more lead pipe replacement. The IEPA also offers more in a 40-year interest-free loan. The city intends to complete the project without using city funds.
Another goal is to finish the project before the 2037 federally mandated deadline to rid the country of lead pipes without using city funds or passing the cost to homeowners. Rockingham said it is a high priority.
“We’re trying very hard to allow for this to be done without being a burden on our residents,” the mayor said.
Once the crews finish their work, Cieslica said in some cases lawns were excavated and reseeded. Residents can help by watering the newly planted area in the parkway in front of their homes.
"Please help the grass get established by lightly watering the area in the evening," Cieslica said. "Grass should begin to grow within seven to 10 days. Regular watering will help it establish more quickly."
In Waukegan, Antonio Dominguez, the city's superintendent of water utility who is overseeing the lead pipe replacement project there, said more than \$9.2 million will be available for replacing lead pipes for the fiscal year that started May 1.
Of the more than \$9.2 million, Dominguez said \$4.93 million is in the form of a forgivable loan, slightly more than \$2 million is in the form of a 40-year interest-free loan, and \$2.3 million is allocated in the city budget for the current fiscal year.
Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham said to a crowd of more than 200 people at a City Council meeting this month that the city is conducting an education campaign, going to community events, making presentations at ward meetings and other gatherings. He asked for community help.
"When we come and knock on the door in your area, your friends' area, please, please let us in to change these lead lines," Cunningham said. "If these lines are not complete, guess who is going to start paying for those lead replacement lines then? Us."

Illinois was one of 23 states as well as the District of Columbia that challenged Trump's executive order, arguing it was an unconstitutional attempt by the federal government to interfere with election operations that are constitutionally delegated to the individual states.
But in the unsigned 6-3 ruling, the court's majority said the states lacked standing at this point to challenge the executive order because it had not yet been implemented.
"The Court's disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell," the majority opinion said. "But the Order itself does not harm the States, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the Government from trying to implement it."
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Elena Kagan, acknowledged the decision “does not address whether the President’s attempts to interfere with States’ administration of the November 2026 elections are lawful. Nor does it suggest that the Executive Branch has any constitutional or statutory authority to implement the President’s directives. Instead, today’s decision merely postpones adjudication of those challenges.”
And in a separate dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the ruling “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections.”

Illinois has resisted federal government attempts to obtain detailed personal voter information, and opponents of the executive order contend the Trump administration would use the data provision to prosecute state and local officials unwilling to provide the voter data to the Department of Homeland Security.
“We are weeks away from voting in the midterms and the President is trying to put fear in Americans about the security of our elections, rewrite the rules, and put the federal government between voters and their ballots,” Pritzker, who is seeking reelection and is considered a potential 2028 presidential contender, said in a statement.
“Illinois will continue to administer free and fair elections in our state while fighting every attack on voters’ rights,” said Pritzker, a vocal critic of Trump. “Instead of focusing on being president, Donald Trump aspires to be a king. In America, the people of this nation decide the outcome of their government.”
Durbin, who is retiring and not seeking reelection, said in a statement on Tuesday that Trump has been “undermining our democracy by making baseless claims about ‘rigged’ elections, demanding unreasonable voter registration requirements, restricting mail-in voting, and threatening to unconstitutionally nationalize our elections.”
The ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Durbin called the ruling “a temporary procedural win for President Trump as he attempts to pursue these lawless goals
but it doesn't change the reality that the Constitution empowers states to run our elections, and the rule of law must prevail as this litigation continues.”
Trump has long falsely portrayed mail-in voting as rife with fraud and has blamed his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden on illegally cast votes by mail. He has repeatedly sought to vastly limit who can cast ballots by mail, though he himself regularly votes through the mail from Florida.
Roughly 30% of the ballots cast in the 2024 general election were submitted by mail, and Democrats have increasingly pursued vote-by-mail strategies, in contrast with Republicans. In Illinois, voters can request to have mail-in ballots sent to them permanently.
The League of Women Voters, which filed the separate suit challenging the postal service's role in determining voter eligibility, noted that the federal court order in its case “remains in place, and we will fight to keep it that way or to secure new relief.”
"It is important to note that (Monday's) ruling only addresses the timing of the state plaintiffs' challenge. It does not affect any voters' ability to cast a mail ballot. The Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the executive order, and made clear: 'If the Postal Service's final rule harms the States, they may challenge that rule,' the statement said.

Johnson, Joanne Eleanor
Joanne Eleanor (nee Franz) Johnson, age 90, a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law and friend died peacefully at her home in Hainesville, Illinois on August 16, 2026. She is preceded in death by her husband Erland Aaron Johnson and 12 brothers and sisters. On September 09, 1935 She was born on Chicago's Northwest side Mayfair Neighborhood to housekeeper Sophia Maria (Niederquell) Franz and Johann Heinrich Franz, a factory worker. Joanne, born at home, was number 12 of a total 13 children. Mayfair had a rich connection with Volga Germans at the time, and Joanne's Parents who had emigrated from Russia, were among them. Joanne leaves behind five children including Laura Evans-Spectre, Rachel Brand, Scott (Grace) Johnson, Tina Johansson-Long, and Timothy (Janet) Johnson; grandchildren Susan, Kortney, Drake, Zora, Vance, Caleb, Cameron, Zoe, Nina, Kaitleyn, James, and eleven great-grandchildren. After manning an office at X-ray Stencil Works in Chicago, she met and married her husband Erland, a carpenter and home builder. They moved to Des Plaines where they raised their family. In 1971 they purchased and refurbished a century-old house in the tiny rural village of Hainesville. At that time the town had a mere population of 150. Joanne joked to friends that the figure included cows and chickens. The Johnson's soon became active in the "oldest incorporated (Lake County) village." Joanne filled in as interim Village Treasurer and immersed herself in village history. She and her husband hosted annual village picnics at their sprawling property where bobbing for apples was among activities for children. As the Nations' Bi-Centennial was gearing up, Joanne began researching and conducting interviews with longtime residents for her book Reflections of Hainesville Past and Present. In early 1976 the book was published by the Village of Hainesville Bi-Centennial Commission, and released. The book is featured on the Village of Hainesville website today. During the 1980s she opened up "Nina Belle's of Hainesville", an antique and gift shop in a renovated chicken coop on her property. She was active in her local church and organized many a potluck among other events. Later, she helped her cousin George Valko, a genealogist and Chicago native who now resides in Kentucky. He contacted her for family history for one of three books he was writing about the Volga Germans. "Joanne had an immense knowledge and was always willing to share it. The Franz family was large, and she could remember everyone. It was amazing," said George. The one thing Joanne said she regretted in life was never taking piano lessons. "My grandma was so much fun, and she was a huge Elvis fan," said granddaughter Nina Swiech of Mundelein. In fact, Joanne thought so highly of the King of Rock n' Roll, she'd often be heard saying, "Elvis is in heaven singing with the angels. One day I'll finally meet him." While she may have adored Elvis, Joanne's real beloved was Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. She remained a faithful servant until the end. She read the Holy Scriptures daily, carrying her Bible with her throughout the house. She recited verses verbatim and was always eager and willing to pray for anyone in need. In a private ceremony, Joanne was buried in Avon Cemetery in Grayslake, sharing a grave with her husband.

Question: With the increased precipita-
Greg Dutra
tion noted this August, do you see a very snowy winter coming? Mary Z. - Hanover Park, IL
Answer: I was just looking over some winter long-term stuff yesterday, so I'm glad this question came in! We are currently entering a strong El Nino weather pattern. This usually manifests itself in the Midwest as a polar jet stream that stays farther to our north. That's important for two reasons. 1) That's what splits the warmer and colder air across the U.S. and controls cold-air outbreaks. 2) That's the path storms like to ride along. As a result, I'd expect a warmer and drier winter compared to years past. Perhaps like '23-'24, which still had a cold snap!

Target pulls 'offensive' Halloween costume
By Carson Hartzog and Elliot Hughes
THE MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE
MINNEAPOLIS — Target pulled a Halloween costume from its website after social media users said it resembled racist caricatures historically used to demean Black people.
The controversy lands as the Minneapolis-based retailer has shown signs of regaining momentum with shoppers, including stronger recent sales after a difficult stretch marked in part by backlash over its DEI retreat.
The costume was part of Hyde and EEK! Boutique, a Target-owned Halloween brand, raising questions about how the item made it through the company's product review process.
The costume, which was meant for children, had the general design of a clown outfit with orange and black patterns, but it also included a mask that imposed a large grin over the wearer's face. A small top hat was also included.
The costume's model on the retailer's website appeared to be a Black child. The costume and the posture of the model in the photo drew comparisons online to images of the racist theatrical character Jim Crow, a staple in blackface minstrel shows, which dehumanized Black people.
"As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry," a Target spokesman said in a statement. "The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners."
“Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won’t happen again,” the company continued in its statement.
Toopan Bagchi, a former Target executive who now works as an independent consultant, said he thought the offense was likely unintended and the company responded well to the concerns raised.
"I think there's some room for interpretation over what is this image," he said. "If it's offensive, absolutely the right thing to do is to pull it. But I think there's also some degree of latitude for, like, it's an honest mistake."
Some in Minnesota disagree.
Sheletta Brundidge, CEO of her own marketing and media company, said the model's pose, the costume's design and the number of people who approved the product's launch show that Target's decision was intentional. Until they hire more Black people in executive positions or support more Black businesses, Brundidge asked local businesses to stop supporting Target.
"We have had a president in the White House. We have had a Black U.S. attorney general. We have done more in this country than anyone has ever thought we would ever accomplish coming over here as enslaved people, and you want to take us back to the cotton field with this Halloween costume? Not on my watch," Brundidge said.

Judge questions why owner hasn't finalized settlement
Terms would see now-shuttered hospitals sold for \$1 and require CEO to step down
The emergency department is empty as West Suburban Medical Center remains mostly vacant, as seen on June 1 in Oak Park.
BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
By Lisa Schencker CHICAGO TRIBUNE
A Cook County judge questioned on Tuesday why an owner of Weiss and West Suburban hospitals hasn't yet finalized a settlement agreement that would sell the hospitals and require him to step aside as CEO.
The terms of the settlement would see the now-shuttered hospitals sold to Insight Health Systems for \$1 and would require Dr. Manoj Prasad, who is CEO of the hospitals and majority owner of the company that runs them, Resilience Healthcare, to step down as CEO.
But the company that owns the hospital properties, Ramco Healthcare Holdings, has alleged that Resilience is dragging its feet in finalizing the settlement after both Ramco and Resilience agreed to the settlement terms in a closed-door meeting with the judge May 29.
In late July, Ramco filed a motion asking the judge to enforce the settlement or appoint a receiver to take control of the hospitals, saying the future of the hospitals — and their ability to ultimately reopen — hangs in the balance.
On Tuesday, Cook County Circuit Judge Patrick Stanton was critical of Resilience's reasons for not yet finalizing the settlement.
“No one has said to me, ‘This is the deal point it fell apart on,’” Stanton told the attorneys during a hearing Tuesday. He said all the evidence points to Resilience wanting to renege on the settlement terms.
“Someone changed their mind,” Stanton said. “... This is someone who wants out of a deal.”
An attorney for Resilience argued in a court document that Stanton should not enforce the settlement because the draft of the written settlement agreement goes beyond the terms that were agreed upon May 29. The attorney for Resilience has also argued in the document that Prasad “suffered a health incident” involving low blood sugar the day he agreed to the settlement terms in the closed-door meeting.
When someone is ill during a negotiation, that “raises factual questions concerning whether that individual possessed the capacity to fully comprehend complex transactional terms and whether any assent given under such circumstances was truly voluntary and informed," according to the court document filed by Resilience.
The judge took issue with that Tuesday. Stanton noted that Prasad mentioned that day he wasn't feeling well because he hadn't eaten lunch, so he was given a yogurt and a granola bar, and the judge didn't hear anything else after that about the situation.
The argument that Prasad wasn't feeling well enough to agree to settlement terms was "news to me as I sat there and talked to him for hours that afternoon," Stanton said Tuesday.
Resilience has also argued that the settlement shouldn't be finalized because Insight is not a party to the proceedings yet Insight's role is part of the settlement agreement. Stanton, however, said the agreement wouldn't bind Insight to buying the hospitals, but rather outlines what will happen if it makes the offer.
Also on Tuesday, the judge and an attorney for another company, S&T Consulting and Management, discussed S&T's desire to intervene in the case. S&T has said in court documents that it operated West Suburban's emergency and mental health departments, and that it has a contractual right to first refusal when it comes to now running West Suburban and Weiss.
Stanton also on Tuesday decided to allow Prasad to intervene in the case as an individual, whereas before the case was only between his company, Resilience, and Ramco.
The next court date is scheduled for Sept. 11.
Community leaders and former hospital workers are closely watching the case, as they continue to press for a reopening of the safety net hospitals.
West Suburban closed in March after Prasad said billing issues led to a shortage of cash. Prasad closed Weiss, in Uptown, about a year ago after the federal government said the hospital would no longer be allowed to bill Medicare for services, following a host of issues that included broken air conditioning units.
Elgin ‘institution’ Paul’s Family Restaurant celebrates 65 years
here we are 30-some years later."

By Rick West DAILY HERALD
One of the oldest family-owned and operated restaurants in the suburbs was celebrated as an Elgin “institution” on Friday.
About 75 friends, family and local dignitaries gathered at Paul's Family Restaurant at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and McLean Boulevard to honor its 65th year in Elgin.
“This is an institution,” state Sen. Cristina Castro said before reading an Illinois Senate proclamation congratulating the restaurant. “When we have an institution like Paul’s, we need to celebrate, cherish it and keep it safe. It’s like coming home to your family.”
Mayor David Kaptain invoked the term as well, saying he remembers a consultant telling council members once that most restaurants last about two years, and “if you last five years, you're an institution."
“Sixty-five years in business in this town and still be as successful is incredible," he said.
John and Stella Paul opened their first iteration of the restaurant, then called Douglas Coffee Shop, at 158 Division St. in Elgin in 1961. Greek immigrants who met in the United States, they had \$200 to buy food for their first day of business at the 19-seat eatery.
The couple later moved the restaurant to its current location at 1300 Lawrence Ave. Their daughter, Elaine Paul, bought the restaurant in the mid 1990s to keep it in the family when her parents wanted to retire.
Elaine Paul said that like many Greek immigrants, her parents' "only goal" was for her to have "as great an education as possible." She went to Northwestern University and later graduated from law school and worked in Washington, D.C.
"When it was time for them to retire and sell, I'm the only child, and I wasn't ready to see it go to someone else," Elaine Paul said. "I thought I'd keep it a few years, and
Stella Paul died in 2015. Elaine Paul said her father, John, now 97, "was the absolute picture of health" as recently as this year and was in fact traveling internationally by himself when he started feeling poorly in February. He was soon diagnosed with stage 1 colorectal cancer.
“He has his good days, but not that many and it’s really hard,” she said.
John Paul had hoped to attend Friday but had just returned home from a hospital stay and wasn't up to it.
Elaine Paul said business has been difficult since the pandemic, but it's been important to her to carry on the legacy her parents created.
“It’s really been a labor of love,” she said. “And it’s really been to honor my parents because I was always so proud of them.”
Consumer confidence falls to lowest level in 7 months
Americans frustrated as gas remains above \$4 per gallon
outlook soured.
By Matt Ott
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans' confidence in the economy declined again this month as the ongoing conflict in Iran continued to push U.S. gasoline prices above \$4 per gallon.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index dipped to 89.4 in August from 90.2 in July.
That was the lowest level in seven months but was essentially within the same lukewarm range it has been in since the beginning of the year. In late 2024 and early 2025, readings were consistently above 100.
Respondents' views of their present situation improved, but their short-term
Americans remain frustrated with the economy after five years of elevated inflation, potentially posing a risk to President Donald Trump and Republicans in the midterm elections, which are less than 70 days away.
Write-in responses to the board's survey, collected from Aug. 3 to Aug. 16, were slightly more pessimistic this month. References to prices in general — and oil and gas prices specifically — remained elevated. Comments about war and geopolitics, food prices, trade and jobs rose in August.
Trump continues to blame high prices on his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, yet inflation has risen since Trump's inauguration last year.
The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge — the personal consumption expenditures price index — was up $3.7\%$ in June from a year earlier. That was down from May's $4.1\%$ year-over-year increase, but up from 2.8% before the Iran war began Feb. 28. It was 2.5% when Trump was inaugurated in January 2025.
The government issues its July PCE data Wednesday.
Consumers' views of the current labor market improved in August, with 27% saying jobs were "plentiful," up from 24.4% in July.
However, respondents were more negative about the labor market over the next six months, with just 14.6% expecting more jobs to be available, down from 16.4% last month.
The U.S. job market stalled unexpectedly in July as employers cut 23,000 jobs. To make matters worse, Labor Department revisions erased 103,000 jobs from previously reported May and June payrolls.
The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, but for the wrong reason: Thousands of people dropped out of the labor market, leaving fewer people competing for work.

Historic harvest in a hurry
Champagne producers racing to preserve quality of region's grapes in record-early picking
By Sylvie Corbet and Nicolas Garriga ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAUTVILLERS, France — Champagne producers are racing to pick their grapes as the region's earliest harvest on record gets underway, after extreme heat and drought accelerated ripening, leaving growers a narrow window to preserve the quality of the region's world-famous sparkling wine.
On the hillsides of Hautvillers, teams of grape pickers start work at 6:30 a.m. among rows of vines that were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015.
For Alexandre Gobillard, production director at the Gobillard & Fils Champagne house, beginning the harvest in mid-August was once almost unthinkable.
“It’s historic in Champagne,” he said. “I’ve been working at the estate for 30 years, and when I started, my father used to tell me: ‘On Aug. 15, go on vacation.’ Today, it’s Aug. 18, and we’re in full harvest. We’ve never seen anything like it.”
At 50, Gobillard represents the fourth generation to work the family vineyards. Gobillard & Fils grows about 100 acres of vines and produces about 1.5 million bottles a year.
Champagne's official harvest opened between Aug. 12 and Aug. 17 this year, depending on the area and grape variety
— roughly a month earlier than what was once common in the region.
A late-March frost hit vines after mild temperatures triggered early budburst, reducing the potential crop. It was followed by four heat waves, which never happened before, Gobillard said.
Sun-scorched grapes turned partially brown, something Gobillard said he had rarely seen. He explained that losing roughly 10% of the grapes would mean a loss in volume rather than affect the quality of the wine.
Earlier harvests have become increasingly common in Champagne and other French wine regions as temperatures rise. In neighboring Italy, extreme heat has also prompted sparkling-wine producers to harvest sooner and pick grapes at night.
David Chatillon, president of the Union of Champagne Houses, acknowledged weather conditions this year will lead to a clear decrease in yields.
"But it's not just because of the drought,"
he said. “We lost 43% of the potential production to the spring frosts, and the drought has clearly made the problem of lower yields even worse.”
Chatillon said climate change has been a focus of the industry for the past 25 years, prompting investment in research and innovation to adapt to evolving conditions, including developing grape varieties that are more disease-resistant and ripen later.
Gobillard has seen the shift unfold across generations of his family.
"My grandfather's generation harvested 100 days after flowering, my father's 90 days, and today we're down to 80," he said. "We're going to have to change our habits."
This summer's record temperatures compressed the ripening period even further. In June, temperatures reached 104 degrees in parts of Champagne.
"The vine needs water to live," Gobillard said. "The water was drawn out of the grapes to keep the vine alive, and as a result we had a much higher concentration of sugar. That's why it happened so much faster."
The early harvest also poses logistical challenges in a region where grapes are traditionally picked by hand, with some workers still on summer vacation and others facing transportation delays.
Apple gears up to launch new Mac Mini version
By Mark Gurman BLOOMBERG NEWS
Apple Inc. is gearing up to launch a new version of its Mac mini desktop computer for the first time in almost two years, according to people familiar with the matter.
The new desktop will debut as soon as the coming days, potentially putting the unveiling ahead of a September event to introduce the next iPhones, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plan isn't public.
The upgrade follows a surge in demand for the current Mac mini, which has become a popular tool for running artificial intelligence applications locally. At the same time, memory-chip shortages have made it harder for Apple to keep the product in stock.
A spokesperson for Apple declined to comment.
The updated machine is part of a wave of new products coming in the second half of this year. Later this week, Apple is poised to send out invitations for its iPhone launch presentation. That event, which is likely to be held on Sept. 9, will introduce the company's first foldable smartphone, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro line.
The company is also preparing a range of new Apple Watches with upgrades to fitness tracking and a ceramic-case option for Series 12 models. And it's planning to debut fresh AirPods as early as September.
Apple is also on track to debut its first smart home device with a screen this year. Additional Macs are coming as well, though they are likely to be further out.
The most significant Mac introduction in the pipeline will be Apple's first touchscreen computer.
The Mac mini will likely be the last new product to launch under the watch of Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, who is handing the reins to John Ternus on Tuesday.
The Mac mini has been a particular pain point for Apple's supply chain in recent months, with deliveries to customers taking weeks or months to be completed. Cook said the problem would take a while to resolve, and it's unclear how the new model will affect wait times.
FTC settles with Zillow, Redfin over rental posts
By Alex Veiga ASSOCIATED PRESS
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has reached a settlement with Zillow and Redfin to resolve the regulator's claim that the companies made an illegal deal to suppress competition in online rental advertising.
The FTC said Monday that it filed a proposed order with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It essentially requires Redfin to restart its standalone rental housing listings business, which the commission says will restore competition in the market for rental property listings. The settlement also resolves litigation brought by state attorneys general in Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Virginia and Washington.
In its complaint filed almost a year ago, the FTC claimed that in exchange for \$100 million and other compensation from Zillow, Redfin had agreed to shut down its internet listings and exclusively repost Zillow's apartment listings, transition its customers to Zillow and stay out of the apartment listings market for up to nine years.
The commission argued that the companies' February 2025 pact violated federal antitrust laws and could reduce incentives for competition, leading to higher prices and fewer choices for multifamily rental advertising customers. Zillow and Redfin said their agreement was not anticompetitive and benefited renters and property managers alike.
The FTC's proposed order requires Redfin to restart its rental listings business and hire enough staff to maintain it within six months of the order being finalized or face financial penalties. The FTC said Redfin fired hundreds of employees shortly after announcing its deal with Zillow.
While Redfin will continue to syndicate Zillow's listings, it will be free to advertise non-Zillow listings, according to the FTC.

BRAZIL REGULATOR FINES TIKTOK OWNER OVER SAFETY OF MINORS
SAO PAULO — Brazil's data protection regulator on Tuesday fined TikTok parent company ByteDance nearly \$30 million because of alleged failures in the handling of personal data of children and teenagers.
The regulatory body said in its ruling that TikTok breached data privacy laws across both logged-in accounts and guest browsing sessions through the collection and processing of young users' personal information without a valid legal basis or adequate safeguards.
The company can appeal the decision in the next 10 days and didn't immediately comment about the regulator's ruling, which also includes an order for TikTok to eliminate all data that was gathered illegally.
Brazil's regulator also said that the company should offer a plan to improve its protection of minors. — Associated Press
TAIWAN CASE TARGETS ILLEGAL AI SERVER EXPORTS TO CHINA
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwanese prosecutors charged nine people Monday, including one from Nvidia and two from Super Micro, for illegally exporting “high-end AI servers” to mainland China.
AI infrastructure, including advanced semiconductors mostly made in Taiwan, has become a key point of competition between the U.S. and China. Washington began imposing restrictions on Nvidia's exports of advanced chips to China in 2022.
Under export controls, any sale by Nvidia of high-end AI servers — the infrastructure that houses the chips to power AI systems — requires a strict review process, according to a document from Keelung District Prosecutors' office in Taiwan. Prosecutors said the servers involved were graphics processing units known as "B300," which have been banned from sale to China. — Associated Press
AUSTRALIA INDUSTRY TO BAN AI-MADE SONGS FROM CHARTS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia's recorded music industry will bar tracks wholly generated by artificial intelligence from official charts as burgeoning generative technologies threaten artists' livelihoods, a representative said on Tuesday.
The crackdown comes as a variation of Madonna's pop hit "Like a Prayer" created by an Australian producer using AI-generated vocals and drums has spent 16 weeks in the Australian top 20, stoking debate about generative AI's place in music.
Wholly AI-generated tracks will be banned from the ARIA charts starting Monday. Tracks can be eligible only if “humans wrote the song and performed the lead vocal and the primary instruments,” among other requirements, an ARIA statement said. AI-generated music would also be ineligible for the industry’s ARIA awards. — Associated Press
BackBlack campaign seeking to boost nonprofit fundraising

NEW YORK — Black nonprofit fundraisers are turning to their own communities for support this month, stressing everyday donors' power at a time when philanthropy is growing more concentrated among the affluent and some major funders have de-prioritized diversity in their grantmaking.
The BackBlack initiative has directed more than \$12 million toward Black-led nonprofits over the past three years, according to founder Floyd Jones. A GivingTuesday-style campaign that runs in August, the appeal invites online donation platforms to center typically underfunded, Black-led nonprofits.
Last year's efforts drew more than 130,000 unique donors, according to Jones, with the majority of their gifts falling under \$100.
This year, for the first time, organizers are also leveraging content creators to reach a new audience: Black Gen Zers. The goal is to show that philanthropy belongs to them, too — not just the historically wealthier and predominantly white charitable institutions that tend to dominate narratives about philanthropy.
"Our people have always taken care of our people," Jones said. "I want people to feel empowered."
The campaign could bring a boost for smaller, Black-led organizations that, according to research released earlier this year, saw no significant changes to their funding after the racial reckoning of 2020. Only a subset of larger nonprofits got temporary increases in the years that followed, according to an analysis by Candid and ABFE.
BackBlack aims to flip that narrative from one of “deficit” to one of abundance. Jones is heartened by the example of Madam C.J. Walker, a Black beauty entrepreneur widely considered America's first female self-made millionaire. She supported Black educational efforts such as Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute and African American branches of the YMCA. She also gave to the NAACP's anti-lynching fund shortly before her death in 1919.
But Jones doesn't care if donors have millions in their bank accounts.
“It’s about doing your best,” he said.
One of BackBlack's partnering creators pointed to the Free African Society. The nondenominational Philadelphia group, founded in 1787 by Black leaders Richard Allen and Absalom Jones, was one of the country's first mutual aid organizations.
“We’ve always had to pool our money and resources to help each other,” said Ernest Crim III, a former schoolteacher who posts Black history videos for his 118,000 Instagram followers.
But, he added, allies must also pitch in — especially in communities that “might not have the sustainable market or income to consistently give.”
Crim is asking followers to support Black nonprofits that work on issues of youth employment. Other participating pages are focused on nonprofits providing sports access, improving health outcomes and ensuring civil rights.
Matching up to \$6,000 in donations is For Good, a charitable giving platform that helps move money from more than 20,000 donor-advised funds to over a million nonprofits filtered by ZIP code.
GivingTuesday manages BackBlack's data, Jones said. Other partners include online fundraising platforms GiveButter, Every.org, Bonterra and Fundraise Up.
For Good provides back end infrastructure for consumer-based campaigns, including YouTube's fundraising pages and Patagonia's point-of-sale donations. The creator-driven donation strategy stemmed from the platform's success with YouTubers who launch fundraisers for the issues they discuss in their videos.
Grassroots fundraisers face competing headwinds, according to For Good's interim president, Tamara Mahal. The concentration of wealth has increased the share of high net worth individuals in the donor pool. But, she said, there are more ways than ever to give locally from the bottom up.
She welcomes the Back-Black campaign's efforts to include more small-dollar givers so that nonprofits aren't overly beholden to any one individual benefactor.
"The cause is important in and of itself. Find a nonprofit that's doing work in your community," she said. "And that will actually help us to diversify."
Backcountry guide company fined \$151K in fatal avalanche
By Olga R. Rodriguez ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — California workplace safety officials have fined a guide company that was leading backcountry skiers down a mountain in February when an avalanche was triggered, killing nine members of the group in the deadliest avalanche in the state's modern history.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, issued \$151,300 in fines against Blackbird Mountain Guides for seven alleged violations it found. The largest fine, \$81,000, was for “failing to correct the imminent hazard posed by traveling in avalanche terrain when the avalanche danger was rated high.”
Blackbird Mountain Guides said it has filed a formal appeal and that it believes it was in "full compliance" with all regulatory requirements. A separate investigation by Cal/OSHAs Bureau of Investigations, which reviews workplace deaths for possible criminal charges, is ongoing, the agency said in a Friday statement.

In February 2024, the retailer pulled a Black History Month magnetic learning activity from stores and its website after a history teacher demonstrated in a widely shared TikTok video that the product mismatched the names and images of Booker T.

forwarded results of its own criminal investigation to the district attorney's office for review of possible criminal charges, said Ashley Quadros, a spokesperson with the sheriff's office. The DA's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The nine people who died were part of a group of 15 backcountry skiers headed out on a three-day trek organized by Blackbird Mountain Guides into pristine wilderness near Frog Lake in California's Sierra Nevada as a powerful winter storm moved into the state. Three of the dead were guides.
The skiers made their way to remote huts located at 7,600 feet in Tahoe National Forest, carrying their own food and supplies. Two days later, on Feb. 17, the group was attempting to ski down the mountain when an avalanche hit near Castle Peak, trapping them. Six skiers, including one guide, were rescued after sheltering in place for hours as searchers battled blizzard conditions to reach them.

That decision led to widespread boycotts, which were renewed more recently by the American Federation of Teachers, which said the retailer refused to “stand up to ICE” during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota.
The company has shown signs of a turnaround in recent months. Last week, Target reported that comparable sales for the May-through-July period rose 3.8% and that transactions increased by roughly the same amount.
Target also removed some of its Pride merchandise in 2023 in response to threats and “confrontational behavior” at certain stores.
Other retailers have also pulled merchandise that high." The other five violations are related to alleged workplace violations, including not providing employees with effective training and failing to report the three employees' deaths to the agency in a timely manner.
"The citations do not reflect the reality of our profession or the safety program we have built," Blackbird Mountain Guides said in a statement. "Mountain guiding takes place in dynamic wilderness environments where conditions change minute to minute — it's not a controlled setting such as construction sites. We welcome the opportunity to work with Cal/OSHA to contextualize the unique realities of operating in back-country environments."
The guides on the trip had years of experience in back-country skiing and certifications from the American Mountain Guides Association, which offers the highest level of training in the industry, the company said.
"Guides pursue knowledge and excellence as a lifelong responsibility, and the guides on this trip approached their work with care and professionalism," said Blackbird Mountain Guides owner Zeb Blais.
critics deemed racially insensitive, discriminatory or offensive after public backlash and social media protests. H&M faced widespread backlash and accusations of racism in 2018 after publishing an online advertisement featuring a Black child modeling a green hooded sweatshirt bearing the words “coolest monkey in the jungle.”
Three years earlier, Walmart pulled a children's Halloween costume depicting an Israeli soldier and a latex prosthetic nose described on the website as a “Sheik Fagan Nose.”

TORONTO — Canada struck back at the United States on Tuesday with retaliatory tariffs on about \$20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment, as the trade war between the once-friendly neighbors escalated sharply.
The confrontation threatened one of the world's largest trading relationships and further strained ties between the United States and a country long considered one of its closest allies. A prolonged dispute could raise costs for American businesses and consumers less than $2 \frac{1}{2}$ months before the midterm elections.
The new tariffs extended well beyond industrial goods, hitting everyday purchases such as seafood, cheese, clothing, cosmetics and toilet paper, with some facing duties as high as 50%.
“We did not choose this conflict, but when our economic integration is used as a weapon rather than the foundation for a win-win partnership, we need to stand up,” Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said in French, calling the situation “an unprecedented challenge imposed on Canada.”
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly urged Canadians to buy Canadian goods, saying doing so would help protect jobs and launch a “movement of resistance.”
She said Canada selected some American products for tariffs to put political pressure on particular states. Canadian officials used a similar strategy during Trump's first term, when retaliatory tariffs targeted Kentucky whiskey, Florida orange juice and Wisconsin yogurt.
Canada's retaliation came after the Trump administration imposed $50\%$ tariffs over the weekend on Canadian goods following the collapse of trade negotiations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of trying to subordinate Canada and said U.S. demands during the failed talks showed that Americans wanted to "destroy our major industries."
Trump intensified the confrontation Monday, telling Canadian leaders to “fall in line” or face consequences “far WORSE” than existing tariffs and threatening new 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles, auto parts and steel.
Trump added another provocation Tuesday, saying the United States was giving “serious consideration” to renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” in a feud with Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
In the hours before Canada's announcement, Trump went on a social media tear against the country, accusing it of ripping off American farmers and driving U.S. companies out of business. "I deal with many countries, and Canada is easily the most difficult and unreasonable," Trump wrote in one post. "They feel entitled, but they are not a State, and will be entitled no longer!"
Because the Supreme Court struck down his biggest tariffs in February, Trump turned this time to an obscure provision of a Depression-era trade law that gives him the power to impose tariffs of up to 50% on imports from countries that have discriminated against U.S. businesses. No president has ever imposed such tariffs before, so they are untested in court.
The tariffs will take effect Sept. 8 at rates of 15%, 25% and 50%, with Canada matching the corresponding U.S. tariff rate on more than 700 products such as pulp and paper and electronics. The tariffs on many American products would double from 25% to 50%, with the largest share of the new measures affecting steel and aluminum.
Canadian officials said the goal is not to raise revenue but to protect Canadian companies and reduce U.S. imports.
U.S. steel imports, for example, have already fallen 30% since Canada imposed a 25% tariff, and the new 50% rate is expected to cut them further, Canadian officials said.
Goods facing 50% tariffs include some steel and aluminum products, furniture and clothing. Appliances, dairy products including cheese, fish and seafood, and certain steel and aluminum derivatives will face 25% tariffs. Existing Canadian countertariffs on U.S. autos will remain in place.
Canada also announced a support package for workers and businesses affected by the dispute worth \$5.4 billion.
Canadian officials acknowledged the counter tariffs will raise costs for some businesses and consumers but said they expect the overall economic effects to be moderate.
They said the government has provided more than \$21.7 billion in tariff-related support since the beginning of 2025 — far more than it has collected in retaliatory duties — as it tries to cushion the blow from the trade fight.
Canada and the United States have deeply integrated supply chains across autos, energy, agriculture and manufacturing, making a prolonged trade fight potentially costly for businesses and workers on both sides of the border.
Businesses and consumers are caught in the middle, facing uncertainty about how much prices may increase.
Michael Howard II, owner of a furniture business in Warren, Michigan, outside Detroit, said the tariffs will hamper the “ability for us to put food on the table for our family” and affect “the ability for us to give back to our community.”
Howard and his wife started their business a decade ago. They make and sell everything from dining room tables to bookcases.
"To say that we don't need Canada is just disingenuous," he said. "It's dishonest. And it's just absolutely not truthful. We need our neighbor, but also they need us."
No sign Iranian leaders will bow to US sanctions
But gas lines getting longer as war batters Tehran's economy
By David Rising ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Lines have grown outside gas stations across Tehran in recent weeks as the United States has tightened its blockade and threatened more severe sanctions, with some people waiting for two hours or more to fill up.
The uncertainty deepened Tuesday, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to fully sever the country from the global economy. In recent days, Iranian officials have spoken of a possible reduction in heavy gas subsidies as they seek to endure the tightening blockade.
“Maybe we will face a shortage of fuel,” said Hashem Abadi, 34, a barber. “I rush to the filling stations whenever my tank is down to half or so.”
The latest U.S. measures are aimed at wringing concessions from the Islamic Republic nearly six months into the war launched by President Donald Trump and
Israel. The war has already battered Iran's economy and inflicted mounting pain on ordinary people. But there's no sign yet that it has brought Iran's leaders to their knees, or that it will reignite the anti-government protests that convulsed the country in January.
The lines had been growing longer well before Bessent's announcement, amid shortages caused by the U.S. blockade and existing sanctions. And with double-digit inflation and the rial currency at a record low, Iranians are struggling to afford more than just fuel.
"I'm filling my car as much as possible since soon it will be sold at higher prices," said taxi driver Mahmoud Chavoshi, 51. "Everything I buy has grown more expensive over the last week, from milk to pasta."
There were no such line-ups outside banks, and grocery stores and pharmacies are still well-stocked, but customers complained about being able to afford less. Inflation has soared during the war, and the currency hit a record low ahead of Bessent's announcement.
"Some of our regular customers buy now and pay later, since their pockets are not as full as before," said Morteza Daryani, who runs a grocery store in Tehran.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the U.S. of resorting to economic pressure after failing to defeat Iran militarily. He said it was trying to create “social problems and economic dissatisfaction in order to throw Iran into chaos.”
“Should we bow down to the problems and surrender? Absolutely not,” he was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars and Tasnim news agencies.
There are no signs yet that the economic discontent has translated into protests in Iran, where authorities violently crushed demonstrations at the start of the year, killing thousands.
Iran has been under heavy international sanctions for decades due to its nuclear program and support for armed groups. Oil sales to China have long provided a lifeline, and it's unclear if the U.S. can cut them off.
Still, there are “always limits to resistance and resilience,” said Mohammad Farzanegan, a professor of
Middle Eastern economics at the University of Marburg in Germany.
"People are losing their purchasing power every day," he said. "All of this, combined with worsening diplomatic prospects and the psychological burden of mounting pressures, could push frustration to a point where it can no longer be effectively managed by the state."
Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, who heads the Bourse & Bazaar Foundation, a think tank focused on Iran's economy, said the sectors that Bessent threatened to target "are not lifelines for the Iranian state, they are lifelines for the Iranian people."
In an analysis posted on
X, Batmanghelidj said digital assets and gold are how Iranians protect their savings, technology keeps them connected with the world, aviation allows them to travel, and shipping is how food and medicine reach Iran.
At the moment, the most effective economic pressure has come from the naval blockade.
But last week's announcement from the United Arab Emirates that it was cutting off all trade and financial transactions with Iran could have longer-term effects if the country follows through, said Sascha Bruchmann, an analyst with the International Institute of Strategic Studies' Middle East office in Bahrain.
Bessent, who on Monday threatened secondary American sanctions on countries doing business with Iran, suggested it was pressure from Washington that led the UAE to its decision.
“Actions that they took last week were not coincident but likely causal, and I would expect that we would see a broad array of countries taking similar actions as we continue our engagement,” he said.
Iran is exerting pressure by closing the Strait of Hormuz that carried 20% of the world's oil and gas before the war. It's betting the impact on U.S. gas prices ahead of midterm elections will force Trump to back down.
Judge rejects Maxwell's ‘miscarriage of justice’ claims, bid for release
By Michael R. Sisak and Larry Neumeister ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction and be freed from prison was rejected by a federal judge Tuesday who said the claims by Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and longtime associate that new evidence had emerged were “demonstrably meritless.”
Maxwell filed a habeas petition last December seeking to set aside her conviction and free her from a 20-year prison sentence, claiming exonerating information was withheld and false testimony presented at her trial, resulting in a “complete miscarriage of justice
Maxwell
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer rejected her arguments, saying in his written ruling they “all or almost all are frivolous” and that she had presented nothing that could upend the outcome of her trial.
A request for comment was sent to lawyers who represented Maxwell in the past. Habeas petitions are often filed as a last resort and to protect against unlawful confinement after appeals are exhausted, as happened after Maxwell's conviction and sentencing.
Epstein, a millionaire financier, was arrested in July 2019 on sex trafficking
charges.
Ordered detained until trial, he was found dead in his cell at a New York federal jail in August 2019 and his death was ruled a suicide.
Maxwell, a British social-ite, was arrested a year later and was convicted of sex trafficking in December 2021.
She was moved from a Florida prison to a prison camp in Texas last year, shortly after she was interviewed by the Justice Department's then second-in-command, Todd Blanche,
President Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney and now U.S. attorney general.
The judge noted that many of Maxwell's claims of “new evidence” stem from documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
As a result of that law, the Justice Department over the last eight months has released 18 categories of investigative materials gathered in the massive sex trafficking probe, including search warrants, financial records, notes from interviews with victims and data from electronic devices.
Engelmayer said that material is “largely irrelevant to the charges against Maxwell and does not support her claims of error.”
The judge also rejected Maxwell's claim that she was selectively prosecuted and made a “scapegoat” when the Justice Department did not indict four co-conspirators named in a government document or 25 men who settled with victims.
Ruling may inject ‘chaos’ into voting
Justices' decision on Trump mail-in order boggles critics' minds
By Nicholas Riccardi ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Supreme Court's decision giving preliminary approval for President Donald Trump's order restricting mail voting may not lead to a single election procedure changing during the November midterms, but it has already thrown into uncertainty the method that nearly one-third of the country uses to vote.
Rather than saying that Trump's order is legal, the high court said Monday that it was too early for Democratic-run states to challenge it in June, when they convinced a federal judge in Boston to freeze the order for November's election. That effectively restarts the legal fight over the order in an incredibly compressed timeline, with initial ballots scheduled to be sent to North Carolina's overseas and military voters in just over a week, on Sept. 4.
in just over a week, on Sept. 4. A second injunction barring the U.S. Postal Service from making changes to comply with Trump's directive remains in effect. Still, the administration late Monday filed a motion asking that the second hold be removed.
That new rule requires specific formatting for envelopes containing mail ballots — which may force some jurisdictions to completely revise theirs — and makes states use an electronic system to identify to the Postal Service who is voting by mail.
If states don't comply with the rule, their mail ballots won't get sent.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani on Tuesday found that the administration violated her injunction against work on the Trump directive by formulating the rule, but declined to sanction it as she considered whether to lift her freeze entirely.
The prospect of such a potential sweeping overhaul in mere days boggled critics' minds.
In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that the decision “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections.”
David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, agreed, saying the majority “seemed to create complete chaos leading up to the midterm elections” and it’d be “impossible” for states to comply with the new rules at this late date.
Jesse Salinas, registrar of Yolo County in California and president of that state's association of election officers, noted that ballots in his state start going out in 11 days and his county already printed its envelopes.
“You look at the timeline, and it’s a bit chaotic,” Salinas said, noting he doesn’t know which envelope designs comply with the new rules.
Tammy Patrick, chief program officer at the Elections Center, an association of 2,500 election officers, warned that it's impossible for any state to comply with the rule and that no one she talked to has tried.
"There isn't a single state that does their elections in a way that this postal rule lays out," Patrick said. "There has been this assumption that this is not going to happen because it could not happen the way it's laid out, because no one does it this way."
Cisco Aguilar, the Democratic Secretary of State in Nevada, where every registered voter gets a mail ballot, noted the post office had already misdelivered three dozen mail ballots from his state's June primary.
“They’re going to come in within seven days and build a massive database that has 100% accuracy?” Aguilar said in disbelief. “It is impossible to implement this system in that time frame.”
Trump has long sought to make voting by mail largely impossible, though he himself has repeatedly cast his ballots by mail.
Trump falsely blamed his 2020 loss on mail voting and spun up baroque conspiracy theories that he's tried to prove while back in office.
Judges blocked him from creating new voting restrictions by executive order last year, and he only issued his latest order after his bill to revamp voting procedures stalled in the Senate amidst Democratic opposition.
The Election Assistance Commission found that 29% of voters in 2024 cast their ballots through the mail.
Democrats are more likely to use mail voting than Republicans, a reflection of how the process has become polarized since Trump began attacking it in 2020.
Legal experts say it's unlikely that Trump's order will be implemented.
Not only did the majority in the Supreme Court's unsigned order note that it hasn't determined whether the measure is constitutional, but every victory the administration has won so far has only been because it's argued that it's premature to talk about its constitutionality.
Opponents are already weighing new lawsuits.
Becker, a former Department of Justice lawyer who co-wrote a book debunking Trump's 2020 election lies, added that he expects the next round of litigation to keep the order from being implemented in November.
Derek Muller, a Notre Dame law professor, said the Supreme Court ensured a fraught court battle in the coming days.
"It puts courts in a terrible place because whatever happens is super close to the election," Muller said. "If it permits it, it creates super disruption for the states. If it suspends it, it visibly angers the administration."
Patrick said that those who work in election offices have been left reeling.
"Election officials just feel like punching bags at this moment because they plan one way of conducting their elections, and have contingency plans if a fire breaks out, or one location loses power," Patrick said. "But how do you plan for something that affects one-third, one half, or all of your voters?"
NEWS BRIEFING
Father of Navy sailor on USS Lincoln freed from US immigration custody
FROM NEWS SERVICES
The father of a U.S. Navy sailor who has been deployed in the Middle East for a record-breaking nine months was released from immigration detention, according to his family.
His arrest sparked intense backlash after The Associated Press reported his son was entering his ninth month on the USS Abraham Lincoln with the Navy when his father was detained. The Lincoln is a vessel that set a U.S. military record for uninterrupted time at sea and raised concerns about supply shortages and deteriorating mental health among soldiers.
Luis Manuel Aviles, 48, was arrested Saturday after leaving his house to take his car to the mechanic, according to his wife, Argelia Aviles. She said her husband, a handyman in Key West, Florida, has a permit to work in the United States. Originally from Nicaragua, he has lived in the U.S. for 19 years.
Aviles' arrest was the latest in a string of high-profile immigration arrests of the immediate family members of enlisted U.S. soldiers as part of President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown. Elected officials recently launched a congressional investigation into the Department of Homeland Security practice.
Aviles' son, Joshua Aviles, posted on Facebook on Tuesday that his father had been released from federal immigration custody. An immigration judge dismissed Luis Manuel Aviles' case Monday, just hours after he was booked into an immigration detention center in Miami, according to Department of Justice records.
DHS didn't offer immediate comment Monday or
Tuesday to clarify why Luis Manuel Aviles was arrested and subsequently released.
Margaret Stock, an immigration attorney for military families, called the rapid succession of filed and dismissed charges “super unusual.”
Joshua Aviles said in a Facebook post Saturday that he had been working 12-hour days without a break since the USS Lincoln left U.S. soil in November. The U.S. Navy confirmed that Aviles is enlisted and serves aboard the USS Lincoln, where his physically demanding duties include moving aircraft on the ship.
The vessel is being relieved by another ship so it can return to the United States.
Measles deaths: Two unvaccinated Pennsylvania residents have died after being infected with measles, the first U.S. deaths this year related to the contagious virus. State health officials announced the deaths Tuesday. They did not reveal any details about the people who died, other than that they lived in Lancaster County, west of Philadelphia.
"My deepest sympathies are with the loved ones who are facing this unimaginable loss," said state Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen. "Because measles was largely eliminated in the Commonwealth for more than three decades, people are not familiar with this disease and don't fully understand the potential severity of the illness."
The U.S. has now seen five measles-associated deaths in the last two years — more than the combined total of reported deaths over the previous three decades — and is enduring its worst year for measles since 1991.
With 2,777 cases as of Thursday, according to the
Tornado aftermath: People clean debris of a damaged house Tuesday following a tornado in Pomas, France. The tornado struck the village of about 1,000 people Monday though no one was immediately reported missing. Thirty-nine people were injured, and 300 homes were impacted, according to the prefecture.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this year already has surpassed 2025's measles count.
In November, international health officials will meet to determine if the U.S. and Mexico have lost their measles-free status. The U.S. eliminated local measles spread in 2000 by maintaining high vaccination rates, which have fallen in recent years to below the 95% coverage needed to prevent outbreaks.
Texas wildfire: A wildfire that exploded in size in hours ripped through wide swaths of ranchland in rural Texas, destroying several structures and forcing evacuations and closing schools Tuesday.
The fire, which began early Monday afternoon, burned more than 78 square miles in less than a day across lightly populated areas in two counties in north central Texas. Fueled by whipping winds along with extremely hot and dry conditions, the Ross Fire jumped creeks and rivers, residents said.
Dangerous fire conditions allowed the blaze to shoot up faster than anyone could have imagined, officials with Palo Pinto County's emergency services district reported.
Wildfires have been popping up across the South and the West in recent days as extremely dry conditions persist. A dozen new large fires were reported on Sunday alone, the National Interagency Fire Center said.
Nationwide, there have been more than 50,000 wildfires so far this year, the most over the past 10 years covering the same time period, according to the center.
Mexicali travel alert: The U.S. government issued a travel alert for Americans planning to visit Mexicali in northern Mexico and temporarily suspended consular activities in the border city due to a “potential threat,” without providing details.
The notice, released Monday night, said that because of information about “a threat,” consular activities and travel to the capital of Baja California state, across the border from the U.S. city of Calexico, were suspended.
The U.S. did not provide details about the threat or whom it was directed at and only urged its citizens to avoid government buildings, seek shelter in the event of an incident and remain aware of their surroundings.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that “there was an alert about the possibility of a criminal group” and added that the report was based on information from U.S. agencies.
Armed attack in Haiti: At least 47 people were killed and more than 50 others kidnapped when armed men attacked a once-peaceful community near Haiti's capital earlier this week, the United Nations said Tuesday.
It is believed to be one of the largest mass kidnappings in Haiti in recent years, and one gang leader is threatening to kill the hostages if authorities kill any gang members as they try to secure the community nestled in the hills above Port-au-Prince.
Sunday's attack on Kenscoff pierced the belief that security in the troubled Caribbean country was improving.
"This is a major political and security test, for the government, for the police and for the international mission," said Romain Le Cour, head of the Haiti Observatory at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.
Putin decree: Russian President Vladimir Putin has decreed that the state can temporarily seize control of critical infrastructure facilities if private owners fail to protect them from Ukrainian drone attacks or rebuild them after the strikes. The move came Monday amid growing economic pressure and public frustration being felt in Russia after months of escalating Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries and e-commerce hubs that have caused nationwide disruptions.
Ukraine also is reeling from relentless aerial attacks that have smashed its power grid ahead of winter and heavily damaged homes as Russia's invasion stretches into its fifth year.
SHELLEY FABARES 1944-2026
'Johnny Angel' singer, actor landed breakout role on '50s family sitcom
By Victor Mather
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Shelley Fabares, a veteran television actor whose career spanned decades and included prominent roles on programs including “The Donna Reed Show,” “One Day at a Time” and “Coach,” died Saturday in Los Angeles. She was 82.
Her husband, actor Mike Farrell, announced the death on social media but did not specify a cause.
Fabares' roles evolved over time from child to perky teen to Elvis Presley love interest to career woman. She also recorded a No. 1 hit, "Johnny Angel."
She had worked as a child model and had small TV and movie roles before achieving her breakthrough in 1958 on the family sitcom "The Donna Reed Show" as Donna's winsome, upbeat teen daughter, Mary.
Shelley Fabares had roles on "The Donna Reed Show," "One Day at a Time" and "Coach." VALERIE MACON/GETTY 2008
The cast was like a family for her, she later said. "Donna was truly like my second mother," she told the YouTube channel That's Classic. Of her TV brother, Paul Petersen, she said, "We fought like brother and sister
all the time."
Fabares said that she, Reed, Petersen and her TV father, Carl Betz, would meet once a month for years after the show went off the air.
Inspired by the success of the singing career of “Ozzie and Harriet” star Ricky Nelson, producers of “The Donna Reed Show” decided to try something similar with Fabares and a song called “Johnny Angel.” But she didn’t consider herself a singer.
“I can still feel the pain in my stomach today,” she told the website Cryptic Rock in 2024, recalling the recording session. “I was thinking: ‘I cannot do this. Wait till I start singing, and these musicians are going to get up and walk out of the room.’”
She also performed the song on the show. Powered by that appearance, “Johnny Angel” hit No. 1 in 1962.
In the song, she pined for Johnny “’cause I love him, and I pray that someday he’ll love me” — but “he doesn’t even know that I exist.”
In 1963, she became interested in pursuing other acting opportunities. Her “Donna Reed Show” character left for college, but she continued to appear periodically until the show ended in 1966.
She became a regular in mid-1960s Elvis Presley movies, appearing in “Girl Happy” (1965), a beach film (she gets Elvis); “Spinout” (1966), a race car film (Elvis stays single); and “Clambake” (1967), another beach film (she gets Elvis again).
She said that before doing the films she had more of a crush on Jimmy Stewart. Nevertheless, her first impression of Presley, on the soundstage, was unforgettable. "He wasn't doing anything," she told Elvis
Australia in 2013. “He was walking in. The presence that this man had. You couldn’t talk. Nobody did anything. You just sort of stopped and watched him.”
Michele Marie Fabares was born Jan. 19, 1944, in Santa Monica, California, to James Fabares, who worked at a bank, and Elsa Eyler, a vice president of a mortgage company. Her aunt was actor Nanette Fabray.
Fabares returned to television after her run of Presley films, playing the wife of doomed football star Brian Piccolo (James Caan) in the acclaimed TV movie “Brian’s Song” and making guest appearances in various series.
In the 1970s and '80s, she was a series regular on "One Day at a Time," playing a work rival and later business partner of Bonnie Franklin's single mother lead character, Ann Romano. (Fabray appeared as Romano's mother.)
Fabares entertained yet another generation on the 1990s sitcom “Coach” as a TV anchor who was the funny, independent girlfriend and later wife of Hayden Fox (Craig T. Nelson).
Fabares' marriage to music and film producer Lou Adler ended in divorce.
In 1984, she married Farrell, an actor best known for playing B.J. Hunnicutt on the television series "M*A*S*H."
He survives her, as do two stepchildren, Erin and Michael Farrell.
She underwent a liver transplant in 2000 and a few years later stepped away from acting.
She was active in the Screen Actors Guild, serving on its board and was involved in producing the SAG Awards from 2003 through 2018.
China rapidly adopting AI for jobs

Workers concerned about future as cuts affect many sectors
By Chan Ho-Him and Fu Ting ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONG KONG — Computer programmer Fei Zhaojun's boss asked him if artificial intelligence could soon replace humans in coding jobs. Two weeks later, he was laid off from his job in Beijing, together with about 160 of his colleagues.
It's an increasingly common scenario as artificial intelligence, supported by government policies, reshapes China's massive job market. Some economists believe that might eventually undermine the overall strength of the world's second largest economy.
Rapid adoption of AI in many fields, from computer programmers to script writing and physical tasks, is pushing people out of their jobs or leaving them afraid that it might. China is at the vanguard of AI adoption as government policies encourage people and businesses to use AI applications and robotics in all aspects of life, so people like Fei are figuring out how to adapt.
"There appears to be far less anti-AI sentiment in China (than elsewhere). Most people seem either positive, neutral or mildly interested in AI," said Shujing He, a Beijing-based senior analyst at advisory and research firm Plenum.
“Individuals who worry about being replaced, as well as those who have already left traditional workplaces, are often eager to experiment with AI-enabled businesses and independent ventures,” she said. “The level of interest is striking.”
Until recently, Fei had doubted AI could do programming work perfectly, even though his bosses thought it was close enough.
"Mid-level coders' job are essentially replaceable in most of the cases," said Fei, 40. "Even if it is a disaster that leads to replacing all humans, at this stage, you just have to use it as everyone else is using it."
Now he's making vlog-style short videos while figuring out what he wants to do next. He's not making a living off his videos, which are about ordinary people's lives, but he hopes that they might help others.
Du Qinchun, a part-time translator, has been helping to train an AI model to do translations. That's brought him more work, at least temporarily.
“But it’s true that the pay in the industry has been cut by more than half compared to what it was years ago,” said Du, based in southwestern China’s Chengdu city.
The trend is so evident that popular college programs in foreign languages have increasingly fallen out of favor as AI-powered translation tools have become more widespread.
The share of Chinese industrial enterprises saying they use AI models and “agents” jumped to 47.5% last year from 9.6% in 2024, according to the market intelligence firm IDC.
“China’s vibrant open-source model ecosystem fosters greater AI application innovation in industrial settings, gradually closing the gap between foundational model capabilities and real-world enterprise value creation,” said Yanze Du, an IDC senior research manager in Beijing.
Humanoid robots can now, for example, sort parcels in postal centers, although still on a small-scale basis, and are pushing the boundaries in performing more human tasks, such as directing traffic and making coffee. Food delivery robots are also gaining ground nationwide, potentially threatening the livelihoods of millions of food delivery workers.
Generative AI increasingly is used for creation, production and distribution in China's short drama industry. The number of live-action short and vertical video series designed for mobile phones fell about 75% in the first quarter of this year from a year earlier, according to Chinese media reports.
“Tasks that once required specialized training can now be performed by almost anyone with access to AI tools. This is particularly evident in software development and multimedia creation,” said Plenum’s He. “As a result, workers whose roles are narrowly concentrated in these areas may face greater displacement risk.”
A report from International Labor Organization, meanwhile, found that women face higher risks of losing employment due to use of AI than men, as they tend to work in areas more suitable for automation, such as assembling electronics, and remain underrepresented in science and technology.
Under China's "AI Plus" initiative and its five-year plan through 2030, the government is pushing to infuse AI across many industries, aiming to gain an edge in China's technology rivalry with the United States.
“What is specific to China is that the government is really into diffusing AI across the economy, so AI may get into different domains more quickly comparing to other countries,” said Zilan Qian, a research associate at Oxford China Policy Lab.
China's economic growth has already been slowing. Consumer spending has lagged partly due to people becoming reluctant to spend because they're worried about losing their jobs. It's added to problems stemming from a prolonged downturn in the housing market that has undermined household wealth.
China's tech industries may be innovative with high productivity, but they may not generate many new jobs, said Eswar Prasad, a professor of economics and trade policy at Cornell University.
“AI is likely to lift productivity across the board but could have a severe disruptive effect on employment, worsening the employment growth problem and resulting in a detrimental effect on social stability," he said.
Similar to their U.S. rivals, Chinese tech giants have cut or restructured tens of thousands of jobs, partly due to AI. The outlook for the broader jobs market remains uncertain: China's overall urban unemployment rate hovers around $5\%$ , but unemployment for people ages 16 to 24, excluding students, is roughly triple that.
That said, in the longer run, some experts say unemployment rates could fall, since China's population of 1.4 billion is rapidly aging and shrinking.
By 2050, China is projected to have fewer than two working-age adults to support each retiree, compared with more than 2.5 in the U.S., said Xuenan Cao, a professor at San Francisco Bay University whose focus includes technology and society. “Automation could partially offset a shrinking workforce rather than being purely a threat to it,” Cao said.
Wang Zhicheng, 32, often used AI for brainstorming and fact-checking in his previous job as a scriptwriter for a company that produces 3D animated educational videos and interactive exercises for children.
After its parent company laid off roughly half of its 13 script writers, he chose to resign and work independently, making illustrated children's books.
While AI sometimes saved time, the scripts it generated often felt strange, Wang said. Episodes tended to be repetitive and formulaic, and the level of detail devoted to knowledge varied widely.
“You can treat AI as a tool just like (Microsoft) Word,” said Wang, who has started his own studio making picture books and other creative works. “Humans are still the decision-makers on which one to pick or pursue among all that AI generates.”

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Federal Bureau of Investigation has established a minimum reward of \$25,000 in cases where people went missing or were killed in Indian Country, part of a broader effort to address high rates of violence affecting Native American communities.
The new minimum applies to more than 50 unsolved homicides and missing-person cases in tribal communities. Most of the cases are less than 10 years old, though a dozen have been unsolved for more than two decades, an Associated Press analysis found.
Victims' families and experts are unsure the higher amounts will be enough to get tipsters to come forward, citing people's fears and distrust of the federal government.
"Everybody's scared in Oglala," said Lisa Carlow, whose father Patrick Carlow Sr. was found dead in his Pine Ridge Reservation home in 2023. "So to me it's like, OK, what do you guys know that you're not saying?"
The FBI investigates federal crimes on nearly 200 Native American reservations, along with the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. At the end of 2025, the FBI's National Crime Information Center recorded just under 1,500 active cases involving missing Native Americans, though not all become federal cases.
The FBI cited several cases in its recent announcement, including that of 8-year-old Maleeka Boone, who it said was likely struck by a vehicle on the Navajo Nation, and San Carlos Apache teenager Emily Pike, whose body was found after she disappeared from an Arizona group home.
Mary Kathryn Nagle, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and an attorney who advocates for families of missing Native Americans, said federal investigators often “parachute in” to investigate crimes in tight-knit communities where witnesses may stay silent because of distrust and fear of retribution.
Still, she said, larger rewards could provide an incentive for people to talk and show families their loved ones' cases are being taken seriously.
“We have people in Indian Country who know what happened to our relatives,” she said.
Luana Ross, who is Bitter-root Salish and a co-director of the Native Voices program at the University of Washington, said cash rewards could boost interest but often aren't paid out.
"It is my opinion that in reservation communities, people would be extremely reluctant to turn a friend or relative into a criminal justice system that hasn't served them well," she said.
Lisa Foster's longtime friend Mona Renee Vallo was found dead after a suspected hit-and-run along historic Route 66 in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, in 2022. Foster hopes the higher reward money will renew interest in the investigation.
Foster described Vallo as a positive, bubbly friend who could have fun no matter what. She was a member of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation.
“Someone knows something there,” Foster said. “They have to. I mean, it’s weird that she went to work and then all of a sudden this happened to her.”
The reward in Carlow's case was increased to \$25,000 in July, up from \$10,000.
Meanwhile, the FBI declined to provide the AP an update on the case.
ICE arrests nearly 50K in July, highest total in 2nd Trump term

WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 50,000 people during July, the highest single monthly arrest total during the second Trump administration, according to new figures.
The spike in immigration arrests shows that the administration has continued to advance its mass deportations agenda despite a shift in approach earlier this year from high-profile operations in large cities that sparked a public outcry to arrests that have garnered less attention but have nonetheless been disruptive.
The July arrest tally of 49,571 marks a $15\%$ jump from 43,021 arrests a month earlier and a $70\%$ increase from 29,241 in February, in the aftermath of the Trump administration's enforcement surge in Minnesota, according to government data that was provided by ICE to the University of California, Berkeley's Deportation Data Project and analyzed by The Associated Press.
As part of the surging arrest numbers over recent weeks, ICE officers have made arrests at traffic stops.
They've increasingly relied on state and local law enforcement partners who are assuming immigration enforcement duties.
And they have started to arrest people from Haiti who've seen their protections from deportation stripped away.
The new arrest numbers show the administration “didn’t stop the enforcement,” said Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for more immigration restrictions.
"They changed the tactics and are, if anything, being more effective."
Immigration arrests the month before Trump entered office hovered a little over 8,000, a figure largely made up of immigrants transferred from city or state jails and prisons and turned over to ICE to remove from the country.
During Trump's first year in office the numbers started climbing as the administration loosened restrictions on where and who ICE could arrest while it also infused the agency with billions of dollars.
By December, the number of arrests jumped to more than 40,177, according to the data, which was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
In the aftermath of two fatal shootings in Minnesota during January that sparked protests and an uproar from Democratic lawmakers, arrests began to fall in February. After remaining stagnant for months, the numbers surged in June.
Texas and Florida accounted for nearly 20,000 of the July arrests, in a sign of how important those states have become to the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. Both states have leaned heavily into cooperation agreements with ICE called 287g agreements that allow local and state law enforcement to essentially operate as arms of federal immigration enforcement.
In his confirmation hearing earlier this year, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin pledged to keep ICE out of the headlines, suggesting that the administration's immigration crackdown might take a softer approach.
But his tenure has been marred by a number of fatal shootings of immigrants in encounters with ICE officers. The figures show Mullin hasn't shifted the agency from President Donald Trump's vision for mass deportations.
Under Mullin's predecessor, Kristi Noem, immigration enforcement was often characterized by high-profile operations that targeted specific Democratic cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Operations were blasted out on social media videos showing officers bursting out of moving vans to chase people or rappelling from helicopters onto apartment rooftops.
But Krikorian said those tactics were “provoking a lot of ordinary people, turning them off even if they liked the idea of the immigration law being enforced.”
Patricia Quiñonez, a journalist at Utahlozanos, which covers the Venezuelan immigrant community in Utah, said immigration arrests during traffic stops have increased sharply in recent months.
People with valid work permits and pending asylum claims are among those arrested, said Quiñonez.
Rose Garden makeover keeps growing

Trump adds statues of America founders to White House area
By Darlene Superville ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – Instead of adding new roses, President Donald Trump's White House Rose Garden is growing statues.
Trump put statues of some of America's founders in the garden just off the Oval Office after he replaced its plush lawn with a white stone patio, turning the historic outdoor space into a look-alike of the one at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Palm Beach, Florida.
At least one statue was a gift. Others are on loan from people who wish to remain anonymous.
The latest addition, a bronze depiction of a seated Thomas Jefferson signing the Declaration of Independence, was a gift from George Lundeen, a sculptor from Loveland, Colorado. It joins statues already displayed there of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Ben Franklin. A fifth sculpture named Freedom's Charge is also on the patio.
The statues are part of Trump's sweeping series of White House renovations, from his gilded makeover of the Oval Office to the ballroom and helipad that the Republican president is having built on the south grounds. These projects fit into Trump's broader plan to leave his mark on downtown Washington through other construction projects, including a statue garden on federal land near the National Mall.
Lundeen said he made the sculpture of Jefferson, the third U.S. president, decades ago and kept it at his ranch until he decided to spruce it up and send it to Trump for display at the White House in time for July Fourth celebrations of America's 250th birthday.
Steven Barber, his friend and collaborator, had reached out to contacts at the White House on Lundeen's behalf.
"I thought it would just be a real nice thing on the 250th for people to look at Thomas Jefferson as he was writing the Declaration of Independence," Lundeen said in a telephone interview.
But the statue did not get to the White House in time.
Barber said it was stuck on a truck partly because of heavy security around the celebratory events. Trump was shown photos and liked the sculpture so much that he decided to put it in the Rose Garden.
When the president called Lundeen to thank him, he got voicemail. After the holiday, Lundeen's office manager insisted he listen to one message in particular.
“Hi, George. It’s your favorite president, Donald Trump, and I just wanted to thank you,” the president said on the recording, which
Lundeen shared with The Associated Press. "The sculpture, it looks really beautiful
... just by the picture I can see it's really incredible, and we have a wonderful place right in the Rose Garden, and I appreciate it."
Barber said in a separate telephone interview that he had been calling the White House for months to discuss the statue but got little in the way of a response until about three weeks before Independence Day, when in came a “flurry of emails saying they wanted it.”
Details on the other statues added to the Rose Garden are relatively sparse.
The statue of Washington, America's first president, was lent by Harlan Crow, the White House said. Representatives for the Texas-based real estate tycoon and GOP megadonor, who made headlines in recent years for his friendship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence
Thomas, did not respond to email messages from the AP seeking comment.
A third statue, Freedom's Charge, a 14-foot-tall bronze sculpture of two Revolutionary War soldiers separated by a flag, was relocated from Dallas. Chas Fagan, the sculptor, did not respond to emailed requests for comment.
The Franklin and Hamilton statues are from anonymous donors, according to the White House.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle explained Trump's fondness for statues by saying that no other president has done more to beautify the White House and its surroundings.
"From restoring our treasured landmarks, which had suffered years of abuse and vandalism, to cleaning our parks and the Reflecting Pool, President Trump's bold vision ensured that America rang in its 250th birthday celebration with glory and pride," Ingle said in an emailed statement that referenced Trump's troubled effort to spruce up the pool near the Lincoln Memorial.
He said Trump continues to make “long-overdue and necessary” renovations to the White House.
“Thanks to the Builder-in-Chief, the White House will be properly glorified and remain in excellent condition for generations to come,” Ingle said.
Next door to the White House, Trump had a statue of Christopher Columbus installed on the grounds of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in March.
More recently, the National Park Service installed a series of sculptures of Revolutionary-era subjects and themes at a plaza near the White House.
Trump's marquee statue plan involves building a National Garden of American Heroes near the National Mall that would feature sculptures of 250 Americans who have made significant cultural, political and other historical contributions to the United States.
Several preservation and cultural heritage organization have sued to block the project, arguing that Congress must first authorize it.
Barber said he and Lundeen are “in the mix” to make statues for that garden too.
At his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump has on display a 7-foot bronze sculpture depicting him with his fist raised after the 2024 assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
It was also made by Lundeen and was given to Trump by Anthony Constantino, a businessman and Republican congressional candidate from New York.

GOP president touts toxic message ahead of midterm elections
By Jesse Bedayn, Marc Levy and Scott Bauer ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, speaking alongside cryptocurrency leaders at the White House last week, made a statement that Republican and Democratic candidates alike wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
"If I were the mayor of a town or the governor of a state, and I had a chance to get a big plant in, an AI plant or a data center," Trump said, "I would absolutely want it because the jobs are enormous, and the money paid, the taxes paid, are just enormous."
It's not the kind of message anyone is using in competitive midterm races.
The race to build data centers, which power artificial intelligence and cloud computing, has run aground amid frustration from voters who don't want to live near the massive warehouse campuses. Even the Senate Republicans' campaign arm warned anger over data centers — some of which dwarf football stadiums and use more energy than small cities — could cost them.
Opposition stretches across the political spectrum because of fears that the behemoths will jack up electricity bills, drain people's water wells, create unhealthy amounts of air and noise pollution, and forever change a community's character – all while getting lucrative tax breaks from states competing for their business.
Trump has framed data centers as a necessary component of a top national and economic security priority: winning the AI race against China. However, he also has acknowledged concern over rising electricity bills, previously saying “it’s only fair” for the companies to shoulder their costs.
He also suggested last week that data centers need “a little public relations help.”
In recent months, he has gotten tech giants to sign a voluntary pledge to shield U.S. consumers from higher utility bills from data centers, even as he pushes to streamline the process for companies and utilities to build their own power plants.
But building power plants doesn't happen overnight, and the immediate political reality for candidates across the country is far different.
"It is yet another dimension in which the White House appears tone deaf — tone deaf at best and indifferent to the interest of other Republican candidates at worst," said James Henson, the director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas, Austin, a nonpartisan research organization.
Statewide candidates from Nevada to Pennsylvania, both Republican and Democratic, are weaponizing data centers against their opponents, and candidates who absorb those attacks are subsequently trying to distance themselves.
In Ohio, a data center hot spot with closely contested races for governor and U.S. Senate, the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned in a memo last week that Sen. Jon Husted is vulnerable to losing his seat because of the centers.
Democratic nominee Sherrod Brown is airing attack ads against Husted that call him the “face of data centers in Ohio” as people gather signatures for a statewide referendum to ban their construction.
The Republican memo said it's been a "sleeper issue for the entire election cycle."
“Brown is using it because it works,” the NRSC said. “More than any other thing in this race, data centers are the anchor hanging around Husted’s neck. If he loses and data centers get the blame, politicians across the country will take notice – and they will not go near the next one.”
The memo suggested voters may balk at Democratic candidates who want to stop data center construction altogether in favor of a Republican candidate who only wants data centers built if a community OKs it in a vote and it pays for its own power, water and other utilities. Most registered voters oppose building a data center in their area, according to a July Fox News poll.
Still, the issue falls behind other voter concerns, such as cost of living, as November looms. A Quinnipiac Poll conducted in June asked voters what issues were important in deciding who to vote for in U.S. House elections, and about 4 in 10 mentioned AI data centers.
In Nevada, Democrat Aaron Ford quickly tied Trump's statement to Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, characterizing them as being in "lockstep on data centers."
In a statement, Ford said Trump and Lombardo are “Nevada data centers’ biggest cheerleaders” who “only care about catering to their ‘billionaire friends’ while Nevadans pay the price.”
Ford last week unveiled a policy platform in which he said he would halt new state tax breaks for data centers — he estimated them at \$200 million currently — while auditing existing projects to ensure they are delivering on promises. He also said he would ensure data centers pay for their electricity needs, do not deplete Nevada's water supply and help local governments negotiate strong benefits agreements with developers.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who last November celebrated Google's announcement of a \$40 billion investment there by calling the state "the epicenter of AI development," is under attack from his Democratic challenger, Gina Hinojosa, over his pursuit of data center development.
Abbott has since changed course by promising tougher action, such as removing the state's sales tax exemption and holding up projects to review their energy usage.
Trump criticized the shift, saying “I think it’s a mistake” in a recent interview with Punchbowl News.
Asked about Trump's support for data centers, Abbott's office said the governor's "top priority is to protect Texans' safety and quality of life and ensure the integrity of our power grid
“Simply put, Texans must come first,” Abbott’s office said.
While Trump embraces data centers, even some of his allies are using them for political attacks.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, running for Wisconsin governor, released a TV ad last week branding his Democratic opponent as “Data Center David Crowley.”
The ad includes a clip of Crowley saying Wisconsin could become the “AI and data hub not only for the entire country, but for the entire globe.”
Crowley has said local communities must have veto authority while also calling data centers a part of the modern economy that could bring significant economic benefits to the state.
Tiffany, who Trump has endorsed, has also said positive things about data centers. In January, Tiffany called data centers “exciting new technology,” in an interview with PBS Wisconsin. Last December, he voted for a bipartisan bill known as the SPEED Act, designed to accelerate construction of new AI infrastructure projects like data centers. It hasn’t passed the Senate.
Neither Tiffany nor Crowley support a moratorium on new data center construction.
Tiffany has called for repealing the state tax incentive for data centers, while Crowley has not. They both have called for stricter regulation.
Crowley, at an event last Wednesday where he got the endorsement of the environmental group Clean Wisconsin, downplayed the attacks Tiffany has made against his data center position.
"He's getting very good at saying one thing and doing something different," Crowley said, pointing to Tiffany's votes in support of the SPEED Act.
“What Congressman Tom Tiffany’s doing is lying because he’s trying to run away from his record in Congress,” Crowley said.

‘Downstate’ heads to Broadway and a tribute to Kurt Ehrmann
Chris Jones Robert Falls is returning to directing in the Chicago theater, this time not at the Goodman, his artistic home for decades, but at Redtwist Theatre, a tiny venue located at 1044 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. with fewer than 50 seats.
"It's my return to the Chicago storefront," a typically ebullient Falls said in a telephone conversation, noting that his new show will follow his restaging of the Mozart opera "Don Giovanni" in June at the Lyric Opera — which has single rows of
seating bigger than the entire capacity of Redtwist. The show, a world premiere by Chicago's L.C. Bernadine, is called “Flying Monkeys,” and it follows two agents in the so-called “troubled teen” transportation industry, wherein teenagers are whisked away from their families, sometimes in the dead of night.
The run is slated for Dec. 6 to Jan. 17, 2027.
Falls described the show as a “pop-up” fitted between Redtwist’s previously arranged plans. Bernadine, a producer as well as a writer, has been involved with the New Theatre Project, a rising Chicago company associated with the writer-director Spencer Huffman that has worked in non-traditional theater spaces, often to great effect. Falls said he was enthusiastic about Bernadine's work and wanted to be supportive.
Casting has not yet been announced. Redtwist is a non-Equity theater, potentially offering emerging actors a rare chance to work with one of Chicago and the nation's most acclaimed directors.
LOOKING TOWARDS BROADWAY
Bruce Norris' “Downstate” will play Broadway's Booth Theatre for a limited engagement this fall, directed by Joe Mantello (who just completed work on “Death of a Salesman”) and produced by Scott Rudin. The brilliantly written and inevitably controversial play, set in a home for sex offenders, will have a cast that includes the Chicago actors Francis Guinan and K. Todd Freeman, although this will be a separate production from the one seen in 2018 at Steppenwolf in its world premiere.

Fundraiser for veterans draws stars
FROM NEWS SERVICES
Stand Up for Heroes will celebrate its 20th anniversary this fall in New York City with a performance by Bruce Springsteen and jokes by Hasan Minhaj and Jon Stewart.
The fundraiser, which benefits injured veterans and their families, will also feature the Resilient, Alex Warren and Josh Johnson of “The Daily Show.”
This year's event will take place Nov. 9 at David Geffen Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Since its inception, Stand Up for Heroes has raised \$117 million to help veterans and military families.
Stand Up for Heroes was first held in 2007 and is produced by the New York Comedy Festival and the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Woodruff was nearly killed during a 2006 attack in Iraq while embedded with U.S. troops for ABC News.
"When we started this way back in 2007 we thought it would just be a one-time concert. But it's become one of the most meaningful nights of the year," the Bob Woodruff Foundation said in a statement.
The annual event has attracted such celebrities as Stephen Colbert, Jim Gaffigan, Ricky Gervais,
John Mayer, Seth Meyers, John Mulaney, John Oliver, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jeff Ross, Ray Romano and Jerry Seinfeld.
Bonnaroo scraps 2027 festival: The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival announced Friday that it will take a “much-needed year off in 2027” to recuperate from back-to-back years of storms.

"We hope you'll continue radiating positivity in your community throughout the year, and thank you for loving this festival as much as we do."
Bonnaroo did not announce a return date.
It's not the first time the festival has been canceled. The 2020 event was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival was moved to September in 2021, but Hurricane Ida forced promoters to cancel.

Parents deep in debt supporting needs of daughter, grandchildren
R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC
Dear Eric: Our youngest child has worked only part time for the past two years, despite being a single mother to two children. At the same time her job situation deteriorated, my husband and I moved away from the city where we all had lived.
Our daughter felt abandoned when we left, especially since my husband and I were babysitters, money givers, homework doers, food suppliers, etc.
Our daughter was invited to move with us but could not because of the father. Courts would not allow it.
We have been helping our daughter with many expenses: car insurance for two cars, cellphone for her and her kids, internet, Netflix, cable, laundry, incidentals and food.
Plus, we have helped with the rent on and off and helped with summer classes for the kids, legal fees, special ed teachers, et cetera. Her ex contributes what the courts told him to and not a penny more.
These expenses have been very hard on my husband and me financially. We dipped into our savings three times and once took money out of our house.
Now, once again, we are in credit card debt up to our necks (more than \$30,000), and none of the expenses are ours. When I tried to explain this problem to our daughter, she flipped out, as she occasionally does.
Most of the time she is nice to us. Sometimes, she yells the house down at us and calls us names.
I discussed this problem with my sister, and she said I was being manipulated, that our daughter needed therapy and that we should cut her off and set boundaries.
But how can we cut off our adored grandchildren from food, clean clothes, shoes and school supplies?
We are drowning. She has two of my credit cards and all the charges are hers.
The rest of her expenses come directly out of my checking account. Can you help?
— Afraid of My Own Daughter's Temper
Dear Afraid: Listen to your sister. It won't serve you, your daughter or your grandchildren for you to sink into financial ruin.
Write a budget for yourself and be very upfront with your daughter about what the limits of that budget are. Set up external boundaries — if you choose to keep paying her credit cards, lower the limits so that the credit card companies won't approve charges that exceed them, for instance.
She may argue that you have the money and should give it but, without putting too fine a point on it, it seems clear that you don't have the money.
You are borrowing against your house and in a lot of debt. This isn't simply a matter of you choosing to let your grandchildren go without; the money isn't there. Her anger is misdirected; indeed, it does seem manipulative.
Regardless, it's not solving any problems. If she can't engage with you civilly, you have to set a boundary there, too. If reducing your support means that your grandchildren would go without clean clothes, there's a larger issue in the system here that you can't solve on your own.
But there are many steps before that. Netflix is not a requirement, for instance. The second car may not be necessary. A financial adviser or a free budgeting program can help you identify some places to cut.
Dear Eric: I'm 40 years old; I have three teenage daughters and have been married to my new husband for almost a year.
I was recently prescribed a pair of glasses just for reading. My husband thinks that I look fantastic in them and has asked a few times if I would consider wearing them all the time.
I did order blended bifocals so I could keep them on at the office, so I really could comfortably just leave them on. Personally, I feel I'm more attractive without them and that they make me look older.
I can't decide what to do. Should I continue wearing them only when I really need to?
Or should I give them a try for a couple of weeks as my husband has suggested? — Glasses Half Full
Dear Glasses: It's lovely that your husband is being supportive and is free with his compliments and requests, but what's most important with regard to your appearance is that you feel comfortable.
So, if you only want to wear the glasses when you need them, don't give it a second thought. He can learn to see it as a special treat.
It's great that he thinks you look fantastic — and I'm sure you do — but if you start wearing them for him and you don't feel great about it, too, it might sour the experience.
Better to let the glasses do what they're intended to do: help you read. Anything else is just an added benefit.

Superheroes shine light on detective story

Writing, execution, cast help ‘Lanterns’ feel quite original
By Robert Lloyd LOS ANGELES TIMES
For all their vaunted power, superheroes are at the mercy of the people who write them, draw them, play them on the screen and — by extension — the producers and executives who decide what should go where and for how much. Sort of powerless, really.
Sometimes this combination of forces works out well for the hero and sometimes not so much. The Green Lantern, a secondary figure in the DC Comics pantheon, had the ill luck to be trapped in a 2011 Ryan Reynolds film even its director didn't like. Fifteen years later, he has had the very good fortune to be played by Kyle Chandler and additionally to star in a television series “Lanterns”
- airing Sundays on HBO — airing Sundays on HBO — rather than a theatrical feature, with its investment in noisy set pieces and earth-shaking battles royale.
I've often championed the supposedly humbler medium as the best place to tell these stories, with the time to investigate character, in all its shadings and ambiguities, and a haven for concepts too quirky or niche or ... conceptual for conservative big-budget theatrical IP exploitation. And here again, I have been proved right.
Creators Damon Lindelof (“Lost,” “Watchmen,” “Mrs. Davis”), comic book writer Tom King and Chris Mundy, who wrote for “Criminal Minds,” “Ozark” and “Bloodline” (in which Chandler starred), have expressly looked to television for inspiration – specifically to “True Detective” (on which Mundy worked), with its uncomfortable partnerships, and “Slow
Horses” (for its disreputable hero, I guess), with “Slow Horses” director James Hawes helming the first two episodes. (I detect a hint of “Fargo” as well, for its Midwestern plainscape, dark comedy and bigger-than-life yet somehow ordinary characters.)
"I'm a regular person, like you," Hal Jordan (Chandler) says in a 1996 TV interview that opens the series; indeed, he's only super powerful by reason of the gear that comes with the job, a human "beat cop" working as part of the Green Lantern Corps, an extra-terrestrial galactic peacekeeping organization — the special ring and the lantern-shaped gizmo that charges it. It gives him the ability to fly and to manifest objects at will, most often a protective green bubble, but also a bottle opener and a \$10 bill. (There's a uniform, but for the most part, he leaves it in the closet.)
Watching that interview is young John Stewart (then a Lantern-obsessed child). We'll meet him again in 2016, played by Aaron Pierre, when most of the action takes place, as a former Marine sniper and art student — human talents that will prove useful — assigned to Hal as a “trainee,” ostensibly to provide backup if something happens to him. Hal, after two seemingly successful decades in the job, is unused to the company and suspicious of the arrangement. (“The big blue bosses may think you’re hot (expletive) but you’re just a ... substitute teacher.”) He sets John tests that might kill him, if he is not actually trying to kill him. But he’s also the more genial of the two.
Through an agent whose identity the producers are counting as a spoiler — I'm sure I don't know why — Hal receives a message that there's hail in Rushville, Nebraska (i.e., aliens!), at which point he jets off from the taco stand where he's happily been signing autographs and posing for selfies, leaving John to fly there on his own, in the usual way, while the Stooges' "No Fun" plays on the soundtrack.
They arrive, separately, in the aftermath of a high school football game that has left dead bodies on the field. (Hal suspects some sort of alien rumble.) Here we meet Kelly Macdonald, suppressing her Scottish accent as tough but tender Sheriff Kerry, asserting her jurisdictional rights. Hal finds her “something incredible.” (John: “I think she hates your guts.”) Hal: “Yeah, but it’s the way she hates them.”) Kerry is married to lawyer Billy Macon (Jason Ritter), whose father, William (Garret Dillahunt), is a local bigwig, with a cowboy militia and a wife, Zoe (Poorna
Jagannathan), who possibly not coincidentally meets John in a bar.
At 60, Chandler is arguably more attractive than ever, with the sort of seasoning that served James Garner so well as Jim Rockford, TV's greatest detective. Five seasons of "Friday Night Lights" have cemented him in the popular consciousness as a preternaturally decent guy, which allows us to excuse Hal's less creditable moments, or at least to see things through his eyes. Pierre, 32, who competes in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has the body of a superhero; he plays John wound tight, humorless, grimly ambitious – he grew up letting his father shoot apples off his head to prove his fearlessness, the primary requirement for a Green Lantern – though the character warms up across the course of the season (which also takes place in 2026).
The actors are at their best in their scenes together, which the writers make happen even when it seems impossible. (Spoilers or I'd explain.)
Combining detective work and science fiction is nothing new — see “Sugar,” currently; “The X-Files,” classically. (And there’s an interrogation scene I’m pretty sure nods knowingly to “Blade Runner:”) “Lanterns” isn’t totally free of cliches, which is practically impossible for sci-fi and crime stories anyway, so many have been told over the years, and to some degree that’s just what we come for. But the series is fresh enough in its details and execution, and strong enough in its writing, and so well performed, that it feels quite original.
I watched “Lanterns” without any particular knowledge of the character, who has been around since 1940, and in this particular version since 1959. (I did a little reading afterward.) Happily, the show is not up to its cowl in DC cross-references and crossovers. There are fleeting mentions of Gotham and Metropolis (where Superman works) and Nathan Fillion reprises his bad-hair Green Lantern from the 2025 “Superman” movie (a long story), but “Lanterns” comes equipped with everything you need to know. Bringing in extra mythology wouldn’t make the confusing parts any less confusing, and would just confuse the parts that aren’t confusing at all. Most every character, whichever side they’re on — and it’s not always easy to tell, given that the aliens look exactly like the humans — comes with layers.
Did I ever fully understand what these factions were after, or even what exactly the factions were? Nope. Did it matter? Nope.

“Who keeps our stories? Who tells our stories? Who keeps our stories accurate? How are we being stewards and archivists of our stories?” asked Mashaune Hardy, executive director of CBDLP. “The archive is not pieces of paper that sit. It is a living, breathing thing; we are the archive and we’re dancing the archive because we’re dancing our living, breathing stories.”
The show is a celebration of movement and expression that pays homage to the city's change agents whose work and leadership have helped shape and inspire the current dance ecosystem — one not based on competition, but one of collaboration and complement that enhances growth within the dance community.
Hardy said the production will play out in chapters, with each company presenting a work spotlighting a legacy bearer whose life and contributions embody that chapter's theme. The honorees and categories are: Carol Adams, for Record Keeper; Chance the Rapper, for Stewardship; Ida B. Wells via Dan Duster, as Wordsmith; James and Pauline Montgomery, for Moral Courage; Curtis Mayfield and Lupe Fiasco, for Sound; Runako Jahi, for Voice; Jackie Taylor, as Space Maker;
Pamela Crutchfield, as Cultural Ally; NAJWA, for Cultural Memory Continuum; and Anthony Brown, for Transmission.
According to Hardy, this year's theme is a result of the current environment
— one where the erasure of Blackness is happening all around the nation.
“We wanted to assert that we are still here and we are still making the work,” she said.
William Gill, artistic director at Joel Hall Dancers & Center, said the 52-year-old organization — one rooted in jazz — has been part of the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project since its inception.
“Coming together once a year, every year, it’s like a family reunion,” he said. “To see all the different companies... we’re in the same city, but we don’t see each other all the time until we do these fantastic projects.”
CBDLP was born in 2019 after data showed that dance companies, specifically Black dance companies, are underfunded. Tracie Hall, then-director of the Joyce Foundation's Culture Program, imagined the CBDLP in partnership with the Logan Center for the Arts to help provide resources. Since then, CBDLP has held a number of concerts showcasing the work of emerging and legacy companies under titles like “Legacy” in 2019 at the Logan Center, and “Reclamation: The Spirit of Black Dance in Chicago” in 2022 and “Divination:
The Dancing Souls of Black Folk" in 2024 — both in Millennium Park.
"The project was developed with the intent for us to uphold the traditions of Black dance in Chicago and pass them on," said CBDLP artistic director Kevin Iega Jeff. "We have professional, pre-professional and youth-based dance companies, and this ecosystem feeds the entire Black dance ecosystem, and beyond into the Chicago dance ecosystem. There was a need to make sure some ground was made up to level the playing field
— funding and support for institutions that were less funded.”
CBLDP support over the years has meant working to increase dance companies' sustainability and visibility through advocacy, archiving, capacity building and presentation. By starting with the question: "How can we help you?" Hardy said everything from artistic professional development and organizational capacity-building funds has been given and used to hire choreographers, assistants and buy amplified floors on which dancers tap and amplify their steps with microphones. The floor has since become a source of revenue for the company.
“That’s something we are really interested in — doing things that are transformative for a company like that,” she said.
In that vein, CBDLP also brings veteran artists in conversation with upcoming ones, so wisdom can be imparted from the likes of Tony Award-nominated director and choreographer Camille A. Brown
and National Medal of Arts recipient Joan Myers Brown, dancer and founder of The Philadelphia Dance
Company. In her 90s, Hardy said Myers Brown has a wealth of information about creating a Black dance company in an urban environment when it wasn't the cool thing to do.
"There is a core of civic, municipal, cultural Black leaders in their 70s, 80s and 90s who have gone through this already," Hardy said. "They got civil rights legislation passed. How'd they deal? Let's bring them in and have them talk about how they used creativity to make things happen at a time where it seemed like it couldn't happen."
"The work still has to get done," Gill said. "We are committed to it, and with performances and opportunities like the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project, it gives us the opportunity to be seen. Dance Legacy is definitely important. Ever since I've been a part of it, we've presented to sold-out audiences. Everybody is thirsting for this work; these Black dance companies, equity and visualization, just knowing that we have a place in this city is so important, especially with the current political climate that's happening right now."
After all, dance is all about human development, Hardy said. Dance as a healing modality, dance as a character builder. Dance as a job. And dance as wellness.
"It opens up the world. There's cross-pollination of audiences. There's cross-pollination of people's minds about what is possible," she said.

Joining the previously announced Johnny Galecki as Tennessee Williams and Jacob Moskovitz as Marlon Brando are Alison Cimmet as Margo Jones, Reece Dos Santos as Pancho and Ellie Ricker as Jo.
Nora Dunn has exited from the previously announced cast of “The Humanities” at the Victory Gardens Theater next month. A spokesman for the theater cited schedule conflicts.
IN MEMORY
Finally, the Chicago theater community is mourning the loss of Kurt Ehrmann, who died Aug. 10 at the age of 58 following a heart attack.
Ehermann was a superb yet self-effacing actor, always vibrant, intellectually vigorous and emotionally rich on a variety of off-Loop Chicago stages.
I well remember such Ehermann performances as Roy Cohn in the 2006 Hypocrites production of “Angels in America,” Hamm in Samuel Beckett’s “Endgame” for Hypocrites (a company with which Ehermann worked often, including a memorable turn as Peachum in director Sean Graney’s staging of "The Threepenny Opera" at the Steppenwolf Garage Theatre in 2008).
Ehermann also worked with the House Theatre of Chicago, showing up as “Old Ran’l” McCoy in that company’s distinctive musical version of “Hatfield & McCoy” in 2006. I remember saying at the time that House had cast a “designated adult” in Ehermann, who always seemed a little older than his actual years on the stage. That is perhaps because his work came with such sophistication and depth of feeling.
Most of all, though, I remember Ehermann's deeply empathetic Lopakhin in Graney's staging of "The Cherry sOrchard." How much an audience
should like that particular Chekhov character is open to question, but not when Ehermann was playing the role.

CATCH A CLASSIC Summer Under the Stars: James Stewart TCM, beginning at 5 a.m.
Nobody can forget the gawky way James Stewart seemed to edge into the frame, hands in his pockets, aw-shucks smile breaking slowly across his face. An atta-boy American through and through, Stewart always seemed perfect for the part. Over his career, Stewart appeared in more than 90
movies and TV shows, picking up numerous awards and accolades. (The American Film Institute selected Stewart No. 3 on their list of the top 25 male screen legends of all time.) It's no surprise that he returns again for Summer Under the Stars, where his salute includes You Can't Take It With You (1938), Frank Capra's Oscar-winning comedy, and The Shop Around the Corner (1940), the Ernst Lubitsch romance with Stewart and Margaret Sullavan as coworkers who unknowingly fall in love through anonymous letters. The evening turns to Stewart's celebrated Alfred Hitchcock collaborations, including Vertigo (1958), 1954's Rear Window (pictured) and Rope (1948), films that pushed his screen persona into obsession and psychological unease.

Thomas orchestrates true ode to pals in ‘Terminal Crew of Dudes’
Whitmer Thomas is joined by his friends for songs in his latest comedy special. VALERIE MACON/GETTY-AFP 2025
By Anthony Solorzano LOS ANGELES TIMES
Whitmer Thomas takes a sip from his cold brew as he answers whether or not he feels like a “cool guy.” His wavy hair sits under his hat. Reflected sunglasses cover his eyes while a second pair hangs from the collar of his plain white T-shirt.
"On paper, people have said, you know, you're a guy in an indie rock band who does stand-up and has floppy hair, you're technically a cool guy," Thomas said. "But I don't. That's me being performative, like, trying desperately to buy the right clothes."
He's not worried about being cool. The only characteristic he really cares about is loyalty, especially when it comes to his guys, his buds, his "Terminal Crew of Dudes," the title and subject of his latest HBO Max comedy special, now streaming.
“(Their friendship) means a lot, you know?” Thomas said. “It’s my entire identity. My friends and the stories that we tell together. ... I almost feel, like, in debt to my friends.”
Throughout the show, his chosen family is onstage with him, punctuating his stories with songs that give each anecdote an emotional button. Their presence gives “The Terminal Crew of Dudes” an intimacy that feels less like a comedy special and more like friends jamming and trying to make each other laugh.
That kind of chemistry isn't possible without his best friend, Clay Tatum, who co-directed the special and plays guitar throughout the show.
"It was emotional and sweet to have them there, knowing that they knew those stories," the comedian said. "A lot of the stuff I'll sometimes talk about, people think is sad or something, but to them, it's not. It's funny, you know? They were there for the after- math."
Sometimes the Terminal Crew laugh at certain details the audience wouldn't pick up on — laughs that were only meant for his friends. Sometimes his friends would even dare him to tell a joke about buffalo wings, the kind of dares that can only be conceived by years of friendship.
Thomas performed the bit, committed to it and was persuaded by his producer and fellow comedian, Tim Robinson, to keep the joke in the final cut.
"There's stuff like that where the joy of doing that in the moment feels great. But then when you're editing it, no matter what, I'm gonna be like, 'Ah, I should have just done tight stand-up,' Thomas said.
Touring with a band is expensive and getting everyone in one room for rehearsal was difficult. Instead, the group relied on the rapport they've developed throughout the years of knowing each other for the filming. It's a true ode to their friendship, the essence of the special.
Before the taping, “The Terminal Crew of Dudes” performed the show together twice.
Regardless of the lack of rehearsal, they never missed a beat. The band comes alive through each song, becoming more than backing musicians, they become fully realized characters.
“We’ve been playing in bands together since we were in seventh grade,” Thomas said. “There’s a shorthand, as far as all that goes.”
Initially, the special was headed in a different direction. During its beginning stages, Thomas was set on telling stories about his childhood and trying too hard to make people laugh.
His mind was set on making a traditional stand-up special, a thought that crosses his mind anytime he's getting ready for a new hour. But anytime he creates something with his friends, the end result winds up being a collage of vulnerable narratives drawing inspiration from skate culture and MTV's cult classic "Jackass" — the kind of work that makes him feel honest with the audience.
"The problem is, I don't necessarily know how to do anything unless I'm being vulnerable or leaning into some sort of thing that makes me feel uncomfortable," he said.
It all turned into a special that Thomas hopes will bring friends together to watch.
“Maybe that’s corny or something, but I really want, like, friends to watch it,” he said.

Horoscopes
If August 26 is your birthday: Your birthday today could feel like a narrow escape from the end of your old personal year. Today you begin anew, and your new year looks a lot more appealing than what you've dealt with so far in 2026.
Aries (March 21-April 19): New ideas could continue to percolate and could brew up some helpful new workflows in your daily routines.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): An earlier confrontation with authority could be losing steam; let it. Remember so you can see if there's a pattern but intentionally release residual frustration for your own wellbeing going forward.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Avoid sharing vulnerability publicly now, there could be less compassion and more judgment than you'd like to receive.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): While today's Universal Day score is strong, your financial sectors aren't ideal for an important decision, investment, or purchase.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your mind could be on money, and your own instincts are likely better in this than those of others today. Find a balance in a relationship that allows both to maintain personal agency and sovereignty.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mind over lots of things could be your mantra now, your cognitive abilities could really shine. Putting your heart into routine tasks can make them much more fulfilling. Sidestep someone's power play.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Whether you work with a coach or a therapist or just solo, you're likely to be able to do some in-depth inner work for the next few weeks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Time with friends could be banter or brainstorming, but it's unlikely to be boring now. On the home front, you'll win more hearts and minds with understanding than with disapproval.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put your whole mind into your work — your thinking could be especially timely now, make the most of the opportunity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today could be a good day for a money move with the same caveats as yesterday — be sure worry, feelings, or old assumptions aren't driving the bus. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Appeal to hearts rather than picking up the billy club — you'll get a much better outcome and have better options in turn for the future, too.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You and a partner could master-mind major improvements or set new goals for yourselves as a team. Don't keep yourself armored against yourself, surrender to truth ultimately sets you free.

Bridge
North-South vulnerable, East deals
Grand Avenue By Mike Thompson
Norway's Boye Brogeland was South in today's deal, from a major tournament in Boston some years ago. Four spades by West would have made, losing only three club tricks. Many pairs competed to five diamonds, going down one. The defense started with two rounds of spades, South ruff-
The bidding:
| East | South | West | North |
| 1♣ | 1♥ | 1♠ | 2♥ |
| 2♠ | 3♦ | 4♠ | 5♦ |
Opening lead: Six of ♠
ing the second round. The ace of diamonds revealed the poor split, and three clubs were cashed to discard two hearts from dummy. A heart to king was taken by East, who continued with the jack of hearts, ruffed
in dummy. It did not matter whether South led a diamond to his king or if he ruffed a spade. Either way, East's jack of diamonds was eventually promoted into the setting trick.
Brogeland solved this problem neatly. When he cashed the diamond ace, he played dummy's seven under it rather than the four. The seven of diamonds is sometimes called the "beer card," which is a story for another day. He also discarded two hearts on the clubs and led a heart to the king and ace. Now when East exited with the jack of hearts, Brogeland ruffed it with the eight of diamonds and led the four of diamonds to his six. He then ruffed a heart with dummy's queen of diamonds, setting up the suit, and led a diamond to his king to draw the last trump. Very well done!

True (Cubbie) blue crew
Cubs' 150th anniversary team forgets some names that made the franchise unique
Paul Sullivan IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWS
The Cubs on Monday announced their 150th anniversary team, which includes the usual suspects and some curious omissions.
Suffice to say it's not a true representation of 150 years of the franchise, considering few of the fans who voted probably watched anyone from 1876-1975, the first century of Cubs baseball.
It would've been better left to Cubs historians, but because Ed Hartig is the only one they have, Cubs management probably didn't want to put all the responsibility on him.
While the Cubs limited the ballot to players and managers, obviously there's much more to the team's storied history than the 40 players and three managers selected. Many others left their mark on the franchise, including owners, executives, announcers, fans and bar owners.
As the Cubs writer with the longest tenure, dating to 1987, it's my honor to present the real 150th anniversary crew.
ORATOR: LEE ELIA
OWNER: P.K. WRIGLEY
Though he posted a 127-158 record in 1982-83, the former Cubs manager famously declared: "Eighty five percent of the (expletive) world's working. The other 15 come out here. A (expletive) playground for the (expletives). Rip them (expletives). Rip them (expletives), like the (expletive) players." Elia's legend never will dim.
BLEACHER BUM: RONNIE "WOO-WOO" WICKERS
The Granddaddy of Bums was a bleacher staple for decades, destroying the eardrums of several generations of Cubs fans. The Chicago Sun-Times once
declared Ronnie Woo dead, only for the Tribune to locate him at his job delivering pizzas. He entered the newsroom with a half-dozen pizzas yelling: "I'm alive, woo! I'm alive, woo!" He's still alive and wooing.
FAN: STEVE BARTMAN
Bartman earned the respect of Cubdom by refusing to cash in on his sudden fame from the foul ball he deflected during the fateful Cubs collapse in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series. Rewarded with a 2016 World Series ring for his troubles, Bartman has avoided the media for 23 years and counting.
He kept lights out of Wrigley Field and paid for newspaper ads with a personal letter lambasting a “Dump Durocher clique” of players that wanted manager Leo Durocher ousted.
MEDIA CRITIC: JIMMY RYAN In July 1892, the Cubs
In July 1892, the Cubs outfielder punched Chicago Evening News writer George Bechel several times for a harsh article about him. The Tribune reported Ryan “assaulted the reporter, using him up pretty badly, cutting a gash in his chin

Safety among unsettled positions
Bears safety Cam Lewis warms up during training camp at Halas Hall on Tuesday, in Lake Forest. JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The Bears have fewer than three weeks until their Sept. 13 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, and coach Ben Johnson has yet to declare a winner in the left tackle position battle.
Braxton Jones looks like the favorite, considering he took the reps with the starters in preseason action Saturday night in Cincinnati.
But left tackle isn't the only position battle on Johnson's mind right now. Johnson is asked about left tackle seemingly every time he stands at the lectern for his media sessions. On Tuesday, he said he's not "100% sold" on who the starter at left tackle will be for the opener.

He also wanted to talk about another position ahead of a big three-day stretch of camp that included Tuesday's physical practice at Halas Hall, Thursday's joint practice with the Tennessee
Titans and Saturday's preseason game in Nashville, Tenn.
"I tell you, another one would be safety," Johnson said. "Safety is another spot where we're hoping over those big three days there that we're able to come to an agreement on who it should be going out there game one, so that we can go forward from there."

Team owner Alter defends Kanter Freedom's ejection
By Julia Poe
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Sky owner Michael Alter isn't backing down after the WNBA team ejected former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom from Sunday's game against the Indiana Fever.
Kanter Freedom attended the game at Wintrust Arena and sat courtside wearing a shirt that read, "WOMAN noun. adult human female." During a verbal exchange with Sky guard Natasha Cloud in the third quarter, Kanter Freedom stepped over photographers to encroach on the baseline during a dead ball.
A combination of team and arena security immediately removed Kanter from the court and eventually from the arena. Alter also immediately left his courtside seat during the altercation and crossed the court to confront Kanter Freedom, visibly instructing him to leave the vicinity and encouraging security to intervene.
It was the latest stunt pulled by the former player as he continues to insert himself into the debate surrounding the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports. Kanter Freedom previously declared for the WNBA draft, causing the league to deny his eligibility earlier this week.

BEARS TRAINING CAMP REPORT
Wright exits with apparent elbow injury
Bears offensive tackle Darnell Wright, center, wears an elbow brace during training camp at Halas Hall on Tuesday in Lake Forest. Wright left practice with an apparent injury to the elbow.
By Sean Hammond and Phil Thompson CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Bears right tackle Darnell Wright exited practice Tuesday at Halas Hall with an apparent right elbow injury.
Wright left with the trainers after taking a snap in a red-zone period with quarterback Caleb Williams and the starting offense. He appeared to be dealing with discomfort in the same elbow he injured last year. The 25-year-old has worn a massive brace on his right elbow since tearing his ulnar collateral ligament last year in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Trainers worked on Wright's elbow for several minutes Tuesday before he walked back into the team's training facility. Theo Benedet entered the drill in Wright's spot at right tackle.
Wright signed a four-year, \$116 million contract this month with \$93 million guaranteed — a record for guaranteed money for an offensive lineman. The No. 10 pick in the 2023 draft, Wright is a big part of the young core that coach Ben Johnson and general manager Ryan Poles are building on offense.
Wright has missed only two games in his three-year NFL career. After tearing his UCL last season, he sat out the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders before returning for Week 6 after the team's bye.
The injury typically would require Tommy John ligament replacement surgery for a baseball pitcher, but Wright doesn't have to throw 100 mph fastballs. He elected not to have surgery on the elbow last fall, instead wearing the brace and allowing the injury to scar over.
Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., undrafted rookie tight end Hayden Large and cornerback Dontae Manning also exited practice early.
Here's what else stood out Tues-day at Halas Hall.
CALEB WILLIAMS WATCH
Williams had an uneven practice, but it's not entirely on him. Early in Tuesday's session, the ball was set at the offense's 1-yard line and it struggled to get out of the hole.
Williams missed out of bounds on a throw to Rome Odunze on first-and-10, and a strike to Jahdae Walker glanced off the receiver's fingertips on second-and-10.
He then connected deep middle to Odunze in front of safeties Dillon Thieneman and Cam Lewis on a play that would have extended between 30 and 35 yards, with the defenders restricted in how they tackle during camp.
During 7-on-7, Williams looked for tight end Colston Loveland a couple of times, but those passes were broken up by linebacker Devin Bush and Thieneman, who dived to bat down the ball.
On third-and-1 during a red-zone drill, Williams hit Odunze, who pulled down a contested catch over cornerback Tyrique Stevenson for a touchdown.
There were a couple of near interceptions, a delay-of-game penalty and the “long drive” session wasn’t all that efficient, but Williams otherwise ran a clean operation.
“(His) operation in the huddle just continues to get better and better,” tight end Cole Kmet said. “You can tell his rapport with Coach (Johnson) has grown so much since a year ago. So you’re seeing that growth in the huddle each and every day.”
PLAYER IN THE SPOTLIGHT: TE COLE KMET
Kmet's role as a pass catcher diminished after the Bears drafted Loveland last year and Johnson diversified the aerial attack. Kmet's targets have dropped from 90 to 55 to 48 over the last three seasons, and his catch percentage was a career low $62.5\%$ last year.
Offensive coordinator Press Taylor said the seventh-year veteran has the “right stuff” for the role.
"He can do anything we ask," Taylor said earlier this month. "He can line up at fullback, he can be in line, he can motion out, he can play in space. And he's been a great role model for Colston, for Sam (Roush), but also just our entire offense."
Kmet said Tuesday that “it’s all about winning, so whatever we’ve got to do to win.”
"If that means catching six, seven balls a game, I'm all for it," he said. "If that means I've got to be a guy in pass (protection) ... and be a main focus in the run game, I'm all for that as well. So it's not that hard when the main goal here is to win."
QUOTE OF NOTE
"He's a beast," Johnson said about rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg.
Van den berg has stood out in camp for his one-on-one battles with offensive linemen and willingness to get into scraps up to and after the whistle.
Johnson perked up when his name was mentioned.
"This guy ... he's an incredible athlete," he said. "He's still learning the game of football to a degree, and yet it's amazing what he brings to the table. He's been the same guy every single day. Smile on his face. He loves football. He loves the process.
"I haven't seen it yet, but someone told me he was mic'd up in that first (preseason) game, and he's coming to the sideline, he's talking to Grady (Jarrett) about the things that are happening on the field. Grady's helping him, giving him tidbits here and there. It's a good thing to see right now. He's firmly in the mix."
SEEN AND HEARD
■ Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent was back at practice for the first time in a week. Bagent has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 15.
On his first attempt during a third-down period, Bagent nearly threw an interception. Manning and safety Xavier Woods both had a chance to pick off the pass intended for Walker, but neither could haul it in and it fell incomplete.
Bagent's second pass to Scotty Miller was off the mark, but he got back on track with a completion to Maurice Alexander on the next play. ■ Braxton Jones continued to get the first looks at left tackle with the starters. In a one-on-one drill between the offensive and defensive linemen, Jones seemed to hold his own on one rush by Montez Sweat.
Before he got hurt, Wright held off Dayo Odeyingbo in a one-on-one. Benedet, at right tackle, staved off a rush from Jamree Kromah. ■ At one point during a long, physical practice, cornerback Jaylon Johnson brought the offense and defense together for a brief huddle.
“(He) felt like it wasn’t good enough,” Lewis said of the message from the two-time Pro Bowl corner. “I agree it wasn’t to our standard. You want to win the division back-to-back years, you’re the hunted now. What we did in the first half of the practice wasn’t to our standards, so we brought it up. Told the guys that and we moved on."
Later in practice, Woods and reserve running back Salvon Ahmed got into a shoving match and had to be separated by teammates.
"I really don't care for it, honestly," Lewis said. "Do what you need to do in between the whistles, be physical there, play nasty there, play violent there. When the whistle blows, it's done. But if it gets to that point, you know, defend yourself. Stick up for yourself."
During the “long drive” period, the ball was placed at the offense’s 15-yard line and it had to operate with pumped-in crowd noise. Neither side of the ball was happy about sloppy moments.
"Yeah, it sucks," Kmet said with a laugh. "It just comes down to how do you execute when you're tired and when you don't feel like going.
... You can see younger players who do that for the first time, like, they struggle just because they've got so much going on in their head already. And then you add fatigue to the situation, (it) just makes it that much more difficult."
Speaking for the defense, Lewis said, "We sucked."
“First play of it, we gave up an 8- or 9-yard gain (by D'Andre Swift) right up the middle,” he said. “We had a couple (missed assignments) on the pressure.... We just didn't get it done. A lot of big plays.”
NEW THREADS
The Bears revealed their new Rivalries uniforms, which they will wear on Christmas Day against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. The uniforms honor multiple eras of Bears football and also give a nod to George Halas' alma mater, the University of Illinois, which was Halas' original inspiration for the team's blue-and-orange color scheme.
The Rivalries jerseys are navy blue with orange numerals outlined in white, while the pants are orange with navy and white stripes. The helmet is orange with the navy “C” logo outlined in white. The helmet also has “BEARS” on the front above the facemask and the four stars of the Chicago flag on the back.
The chest of the jersey features the original “GSH” patch — with the “H” featured prominently in the middle — that the team wore in 1983 to honor Halas after he died.
INJURIES AND PARTICIPATION
The Bears activated safety Elijah Hicks (left shin) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (back) from the physically unable to perform list. They placed linebacker Nephi Sewell, who injured his right knee in Saturday's preseason game in Cincinnati, on injured reserve. They also signed linebacker Antonio Grier, who most recently played for the UFL's Louisville Kings.
Offensive lineman Luke Newman (foot) and cornerback Jaylon Jones (ankle) returned to practice after missing time.
BEARS from Page C1
Bryant will impact coordinator Dennis Allen's defense this season. Bryant is expected to miss four to six months after injuring his knee on Aug. 3.
Bryant was arguably the Bears' biggest free-agency addition in March. He signed a three-year, \$40 million contract fresh off winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks. He was very much a part of the new-look safety position, expected to pair with No. 25 draft pick Dillon Thieneman.
And now Bryant is out, possibly for the entire season.
In the wake of that injury, the Bears have been trying to figure out what to do at the safety spot, especially with nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon sidelined by a calf injury. Thieneman is a lock to take one starting spot, but the other remains up for grabs.
At the moment, Cam Lewis looks like the favorite to win the job, but the Bears also signed Xavier Woods shortly after Bryant's injury.
Lewis started both preseason games – and he has generally played more with the starters in practice – but he and Woods have played nearly the same number of snaps in those preseason games and Woods has seen his share of reps with the ones. Skyler Thomas has also made an impact, mostly with the twos, including an interception Saturday against the Bengals.
Lewis, who the team signed as a free agent in March, came from the Buffalo Bills, where he worked his way up from undrafted in 2019 to a key backup and special teams contributor. He knows a thing or two about competition at this level.
"I'm not just competing internally, in house, with the team we have in here, but everywhere else," Lewis said. "That's how I always look at it, being in the NFL. Your job is not, quote-unquote, secure. I've always had a chip on my shoulder. So I don't look at it as a big thing. I go out there, put my best foot forward and go compete my butt off, try to help my team win football games and the outcome is going to be the outcome."
When Bryant initially went down, all eyes were on Lewis. But the Bears signed Woods on Aug. 7, the same day Bryant had surgery on his knee. Woods has experience with Bears defensive backs coach Al Harris, who was his position coach with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020.
Woods has 121 starts under his belt over a nine-year NFL career, including 10 starts last season with the Tennessee Titans. Prior to that, he played four years in Dallas, one in Minnesota and three in Carolina.
"He's extremely professional and he works really hard," Harris said. "Even back then in 2020, he was a mature guy. He's doing a really good job for us right now."
Lewis said Woods is quiet, but his football instincts are apparent.
Woods had an interception on the final play of practice Tuesday against third-string quarterback Case Keenum, who targeted receiver Kaden Davis deep down the sideline. Woods nearly had another interception earlier in practice on a pass from Tyson Bagent into double coverage.
“Very instinctive player,” Lewis said. “Knows a lot, been in a lot of different defenses, so I always kind of pick his brain whenever he is talking. But he’s a good ballplayer, man. I’m just glad we got another one here.”
The ball production was apparent from Woods on Tuesday, and that's what Lewis wants to see more of for himself. He might be the front-runner right now, but he knows Woods and others are waiting for their opportunities.
"I don't feel like I've made enough plays on the ball," Lewis said of his training camp. "I do my job to communicate fairly well, but I don't know, it's just not up to my standard. It feels, like, a little rocky. You know, I'm still learning the defense, how (Allen) wants it to be played.
"But prior years in those camps (with Buffalo), I feel like I made a little bit more plays, so it felt like it was a little bit better. Overall, it felt like coaches may feel like it was a pretty good camp, but to me it doesn't feel that way."
This week, with Thursday's joint practice and Saturday's preseason finale, will go a long way toward deciding who starts at safety on Sept. 13.

White Sox starter Sean Burke hit a bit of a wall earlier in August.
"The (Aug. 16) outing in Detroit is probably the worst I felt physically," he told the Tribune on Tuesday. "Not really painful or anything, more kind of like some dead-body, dead-arm feeling."
The right-hander got with the trainers and strength staff.
“(We) figured out some tweaks and adjustments to make throughout the week, just to make my body and everything feel good for the day I’m pitching,” Burke said.
Burke said in his last start against the New York Mets that he felt “really good again.”
“So definitely trending back upwards and I feel good,” said Burke, who is slated to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Texas Rangers.
A healthy — and productive — rotation will be key for the Sox as they battle for a division title. The team entered Tuesday's game against the Rangers with a 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ -game lead over the second-place Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central.
"Like it has been every year, you find these pockets where you feel really good about where you're at with your pitching staff and your bullpen, and then there's some times where you feel like there's some instability, and you're really just trying to hang on," manager Will Venable said before Tuesday's game. "And either way, the job is to find a way to win today. And I think that we've done a really good job of kind of whatever our kind of broader situation is with our pitching that we're going to find a way to find a path for tonight's game.
"And so that's what we'll continue to do."
A little more length out of the starters would be helpful. The Sox entered Tuesday ranked last in the majors with 561 innings pitched by starters — a number impacted in part by their occasional use of an opener.
But the lack of length has meant plenty of work for the bullpen, as was the case Monday after starter José Urquidy allowed five runs over three innings in an 11-2 loss to the Rangers. Urquidy walked four and hit two batters.
It was the second time in three games that a Sox starter didn't make it to the fourth inning. Luis Castillo had an even shorter appearance on Saturday, surrendering four runs over $2 \frac{1}{2}$ innings in a 10-5 loss to the Mets.
Castillo has a 5.89 ERA in four starts since being acquired on Aug. 1 in a trade with the Seattle Mariners. He was phenomenal on Aug. 12 against the Cincinnati Reds, allowing one hit and striking out 10 in seven scoreless innings. But he hasn't made it through five innings in his last two starts.
Anthony Kay has been the team's most effective starter this month. The left-hander headed into Tuesday's start with a 2.66 ERA in his last four outings. He had 17 strikeouts and four walks in $23 \frac{1}{2}$ innings during the stretch, while pitching at least six innings in three of the four starts.
After going 4 $\frac{1}{3}$ innings against the Tigers on Aug. 16, Burke took away some positives from Friday's outing against the Mets. He allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and no walks in six innings.
"The result wasn't what I wanted it to be, but as far as the stuff and how I felt, and the command of a lot of stuff, I felt good about it," he said. "If you tell me any time I go out there I'm going to throw six innings, no walks and $75\%$ strikes, I'm going to take my chances on it being a good game."
While not always technically starting, Urquidy and Fedde have stepped in over the past couple of weeks as bulk pitchers.
Fedde, who began the season as a starter before moving to the bullpen at the beginning of the month, has
$8 \frac{2}{3}$ scoreless innings in his last two appearances following an opener.
Urquidy shut down the Cubs on Aug. 19, striking out eight while allowing two hits in six relief innings. But the pitch count escalated quickly on Monday (93 pitches in three innings) when he made his first start since Sept. 29, 2023, while with the Houston Astros.
The Sox have had to do some juggling with starter Davis Martin on the injured list. The right-hander, who has been out since Aug. 14, is working his way back from a blister on his right middle finger.
Regardless of the situation, the Sox are keeping the focus on the task ahead.
“We’re just going to figure out what to do today,” Venable said, “and that’s going to be our mindset.”
SOX PLACE RELIEVER HUÁSCAR BRAZOBÁN ON THE IL
Relief pitcher Huáscar Brazobán went on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain, the Sox announced before Tuesday's game. In the corresponding move, the Sox recalled right-hander Jonathan Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte.
Brazobán has a 6.30 ERA in 10 relief appearances since being acquired from the New York Mets in an Aug. 3 trade.
The Sox also placed outfielder Andrew Benintendi on the bereavement/family medical emergency list and recalled infielder/outfielder Rikuu Nishida from Charlotte.

CUBS
Bregman heats up, thanks to methodical approach at plate
By Meghan Montemurro
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
PHOENIX — Back in mid-May, near the height of his struggles, Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman sent manager Craig Counsell a text message.
Bregman had been taking a lot of pitches down the middle or middle-in early in the season amid his struggles and wanted to explain his thought process to Counsell.
"When I don't feel good, I kind of swing less because I know it's not right," Bregman said. "As soon as I load, I know that it's not right, so it's not going to be good if I swing because I'm not going to swing-and-miss, I'm going to put the ball in play. And I need to get right mechanically, and when I get right mechanically, it'll go.
“Mechanically, it was really just disconnected and I knew it wasn’t right from Game 1 of the season. I had to figure out what it was.”
The May text exchange stemmed from a conversation about hitting and whether Bregman should look to be more aggressive earlier in the count to try to tap into his slug and why he felt that wasn't the best approach.
"It was very clear and it was very laid out and it made sense to me that this is how he's going to get better and is going to fix it," Counsell said. "He didn't tell you exactly when it's going to happen, but how he was going to go about it. And it's how he went about it, and it's how he fixed it."
The results started to come in July. Bregman posted, at that time, a season-best .263 average and .825
OPS in the month.
Since then, Bregman's been scorching. Dating to July 27, he's tied for the MLB lead in hits (37) and RBIs (25), second in slugging (.664) and home runs (9), and third in OPS (1.062).
Bregman entered Tuesday hitting .296 with a .370 on-base percentage and .972 OPS in August.
"The start of the year was super frustrating because I feel like, for me, personally, I don't feel like this is a hot stretch," Bregman said. "I feel like this is who I am as a baseball player. It was frustrating. But the way I looked at it was like, I'm going to figure out what's going on, so I know for the next 10 years of my career, so I (don't) have to deal with this again. Because I feel like if you look at it like you're trying to go make it all happen ...
"I think everyone kind of falls accustomed to this at some point when it's not going well, but it kind of turns into you trying to get your whole season back in one at-bat, as opposed to taking each at-bat individually. The way I kind of looked at it was, I'm trying to get this right for the long haul in my career. It kind of takes off the need to hit a grand slam every single at-bat to get your season back."
Bregman said he has always been a big “feel” guy when it comes to his swing and mechanics.
Many hitters prefer to see a ball's flight and let that show them where their swing is at. Bregman needs his internal cues about how his body is moving. Whether it was during his prep career in New Mexico, starring at LSU in college and into his professional career with the Houston Astros and then the Boston Red Sox, this is how the 32-year-old thinks about his swing.
"I've always thought mechanics every single day in the box — most people don't," Bregman said. "It's kind of different. I think that was kind of what I was kind of expressing was like, I promise, I've done this. I've always thought mechanics and it's not just me overcomplicating stuff. Normally, I get one mechanical thought and then I take that into the game."
He never wavered from the process, though, even through those tough months. And though it's a different process than most hitters take, the consistency in his work didn't waver. Counsell and the Cubs learned a lot about Bregman through those struggles and the veteran's mission to get his swing, and by extension his offensive production, back on track.
“Alex was very consistent, really, in the way he talked about it,” Counsell said. “I give him a lot of credit for this. He was just like, I’m not doing things correctly mechanically, and I know what I have to do. I can’t feel it. When I get the feeling, I’ll be able to ride out that feeling, but I don’t have that feeling right now.
"He was relentless in his work to get there. And that process, it's a process of an incredibly dedicated professional. It is an overwhelmingly time-consuming process that he goes through to try to fix that, to try to get there. And to his credit, that part never wavered, you know? It never wavered, and it was really interesting."
CUBS 7, DIAMONDBACKS O LATE MONDAY
Gausman, Cubs show why they could be dangerous
By Meghan Montemurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE
PHOENIX — Kevin Gausman's approach Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks quickly became apparent.
The Cubs right-hander fed the Diamondbacks a steady dose of four-seam fastballs they seemed unprepared to face. Gausman typically relies more heavily on his splitter. Instead, his fastball accounted for 66% of his pitches thrown, leading to a career-high 24 called strikes on the pitch.
That helped Gausman toss seven shutout innings in the Cubs' 7-0 victory, just the fourth time this year they've had a starter go seven without allowing a run.
Gausman, though, didn't reveal when exactly the Cubs were tipped off on the Diamondbacks' approach that seemed to have them hunting his splitter.
“I mean, I'm not going to give that away just because other people are watching too,” a smiling Gausman said. “But it was pretty early where we felt like we kind of figured out their game plan.”
Gausman credited catcher Carson Kelly for calling “a hell of a game” and recognizing that with two strikes, Arizona’s hitters might be looking for the splitter.
“We blew some fastballs with two strikes by guys today,” Gausman said. “It’s always nice when you have good enough command where you can throw that pitch a lot and kind of knew early on that it was going to be there when we needed it. So, yeah, you just go with what you’ve got.”
Gausman's fastball command played a key role in his fastball usage. He landed 13 of his 15 first-pitch fastballs for strikes, and while Arizona put 11 of his fastballs in play, only two went for hits. In the Statcast era, dating to 2015, only one pitcher has gotten more called strikes on his four-seam fastball (Drew Hutchinson, 25 in 2015) than Gausman did Monday.
He credits the work put in during bullpens between starts to hone his command.
"I'm a two-pitch guy, so that secondary pitch, I'm going to throw it a lot," Gausman said. "Recognizing what we had tonight and their game plan and then staying on the attack — it's one thing to recognize that, but then the command's not there and you're maybe not able to do it. So it was nice to have a night where you feel like everything was there."
Gausman's performance was what the Cubs envisioned when they traded for him at the deadline. Coupled with Clay Holmes, who has allowed one run in 12 innings over his last two starts, the Cubs could have a formidable duo heading into the stretch run and postseason.
That might become more valuable with some shakiness recently from left-handers Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga.
"He's a good energy guy, the work ethic is there," Kelly said of Gausman. "I mean, he's been doing this for such a long time and he's a true pro and he wants the ball. You can see that every inning. It just seems like he gets stronger and stronger, and that's something that our guys can really look at and build off of."
Gausman showed what he's capable of last October with the Toronto Blue Jays en route to their World Series appearance. He got a taste of how relentless the Cubs lineup can be, too, when they tagged him June 19 for seven runs on seven hits and four walks to knock him out after two innings.
“They’re just relentless, one through nine,” Gausman said. “There’s no gaps in this lineup.”
On a night the Cubs' first five hitters combined to go 2-for-18 with three strikeouts, the team's depth shined and put plenty of pressure on Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly and the bullpen.
Rookie Pedro Ramírez, 22, gave the Cubs the lead in the second with an RBI triple, part of a two-hit night to give him a .290 average. Seiya Suzuki's RBI double in the fifth tacked on a run, and the Cubs' power emerged in the sixth as Michael Conforto and Kelly hit back-to-back homers for a five-run cushion.
Ian Happ (RBI double) and Nico Hoerner (sacrifice fly) kept it going the following inning. The Cubs (76-56) found different ways to take advantage of mistakes from Diamondbacks pitchers.
The Cubs are getting the type of buy-in throughout the roster that's needed for a team looking to make a deeper postseason run than last year. Manager Craig Counsell believes Conforto's willingness to embrace his role, one that's much different from his everyday presence in the lineup for most of his career, set the tone for that early in the season.

■ Padres: A Padres minor league coaching coordinator who was detained by federal immigration officers in Texas has been released on bond, his family said Tuesday. Oswaldo Pirela, who's from Venezuela and lives in Arizona, was back home with his family following his release on Monday, his sister Daniela Pirela said. The Padres also confirmed that Pirela, a catching coordinator in their minor league system, was no longer in custody. "We are pleased that Oswaldo Pirela has been released on bond and reunited with his family. Out of respect for his privacy and the ongoing matter, we will have no further comment at this time," the team said in a statement. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Pirela at the El Paso International Airport during a work trip on Aug. 16. The Padres have a minor league affiliate team in the city, the El Paso Chihuahuas. The Department of Homeland Security has previously said Pirela came to the U.S. legally in 2014 and "over-stayed his welcome" after 2018. His family has disputed Homeland Security's account and says Pirela had applied for asylum and obtained work permits. DHS didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment Tuesday. Pirela had a brief minor-league playing career as a catcher in the Rangers organization.

restricted list after his disappearance, but then moved to the 10-day injured list with mild inflammation in his left knee. "That's what we're thinking about," Lovullo said. "I think that will be the 10th day or the 11th day, so there is definitely a strategy to get him back on the field, get him healthy." Lovullo said Marte started taking batting practice Monday at the team's facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, and hitting coach Joe Mather was encouraged by the veteran's progress. The 32-year-old Marte still hadn't addressed his teammates about why he left them in the middle of a playoff race. It's the second straight year Marte has gone AWOL from the team. Last season, he went on the restricted list when his home in Arizona was broken into during the All-Star break. He missed three games after flying back to his home in the Dominican Republic and later apologized for his absence. Lovullo said Marte is very private and the team would figure out the right time for him to address his teammates. "We're trying to create the softest space for him to re-emerge back in this environment," Lovullo said. "That's up to him however he wants to do it. I cannot force a human being to do something that I want to do, or anybody in this room wants to do, or a fan wants to do.

■ Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks hope three-time All-Star Ketel Marte will return to their lineup next week, roughly two weeks after his unexpected disappearance from the team before a game in Boston. D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said Monday the team's plan is for the second baseman to return for a home series against the Phillies, which starts on Monday. Marte was initially put on the

■ Marlins: Closer Pete Fairbanks felt nerve irritation and numbness in his throwing arm and departed after facing one batter in the Marlins' 4-2 loss to the visiting Red Sox on Monday night. Fairbanks experienced similar discomfort on April 27, when his outing at the Dodgers was cut short. He ended up missing three weeks. The 32-year-old Fairbanks signed a one-year deal with the Marlins after seven seasons with the Rays. He has appeared in 44 games and has 18 saves. —AP
1991: Kansas City's Brett Saberhagen pitched a no-hitter to lead the Royals to a 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. Saberhagen, who struck out five and walked two. 1999: Randy Johnson reached 300 strikeouts in record time, notching nine in seven innings to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Florida Marlins 12-2. Johnson achieved the milestone in his 29th start.

1939: The first major league baseball game was televised as WXBS brought their cameras to Brooklyn's Ebbets Field for a doubleheader between the Cincinnati Reds and the Dodgers.
MONDAY'S RESULTS
1947: Brooklyn's Dan Bankhead became the first black pitcher in the majors. He homered in his first major-league plate appearance, but didn't fare well on the mound. In 3 1-3 innings of relief, he gave up 10 hits and six earned runs to the Pirates. Pittsburgh won 16-3.
2007: Dalton Carriker's home run in the bottom of the eighth gave Warner Robins, Georgia, a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tokyo to win the Little League World Series title. 2007: Boston defeated the Chicago White Sox 11-1 to complete a four-game sweep. For the series, the Red Sox outscored Chicago 46-7. Boston scored at least 10 runs in every game of the series, which is only the fourth time that has happened in a four-game series since 1900 and the first time in the American League in 85 years.
1987: Milwaukee's Paul Molitor went 0-for-4, ending his 39-game hitting streak, and the Brewers beat the Cleveland Indians 1-0 in 10 innings on pinch-hitter Rick Manning's RBI single. With Molitor waiting in the on-deck circle for a possible fifth at-bat, Manning singled in the game-winner.
Boston 4, Miami 2 Washington 13, Colorado 3 San Francisco 5, Cincinnati 0 Chi. Cubs 7, Arizona 0 Pittsburgh 3, San Diego 2 (12)
1962: Minnesota's Jack Kralick pitched a 1-0 no-hitter against the Kansas City Athletics at Metropolitan Stadium. Lenny Green drove in the Twins' run with a sacrifice fly off Bill Fischer in the seventh inning.
Boston 4, Miami 2
2008: Major League Baseball announced umpires will be allowed to check video on home run calls starting Aug. 27. Video will be used only on so-called “boundary calls,” such as determining whether fly balls went over the fence, whether potential home runs were fair or foul and whether there was fan interference on potential home runs. 2010: Albert Pujols of St. Louis hits the 400th homer of his career, off Jordan Zimmermann of the Nationals in the 4th inning. Pujols becomes the 47th major leaguer to hit that many and is the third-youngest to do so after Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr. 2018: Mana Lau Kong homered to center field on the first pitch his team saw and Ka'olu Holt pitched a complete game to lead Hawaii to a 3-0 victory over South Korea in the Little League World Series championship.

unless “he’s able to prove to our satisfaction that he is able to abide by our rules without being a potential threat.”
"The fact that we're having this conversation to me is just really sad," Alter said. "It's a shame that we're spending as much time as we are on this and not the wonderful things that are happening in our league — or even some of the not-so-wonderful things, like the Sky not making the playoffs for the third year in a row. I'm sure those are the things we should be talking about."
Alter said the team discovered that Kanter Freedom would be attending Sunday's game when the former player's manager sent a text to Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca. During his prior career as a player development specialist, Pagliocca previously worked with Kanter Freedom while he was still an active athlete. Alter said that relationship ended in 2018 or 2019 and the two had not interacted in the following years besides a brief text exchange.
During an interview Tuesday on Fox News, Kanter Freedom said he reached out to Pagliocca to let him know he would be attending and received a response from Pagliocca welcoming him to the game. Alter disputed this story, saying Kanter Freedom's manager sent the following message around 2:30 p.m. Sunday:
“Jeff, this is Hank (this is Enes’ manager). I’ve got a new number. You’ve always been fair to me so I figured you deserved a heads up in advance. Enes and I will be at the Sky game tonight. Hope you are well.”
Alter said Pagliocca alerted the Sky to the news and then sent one response about an hour later: “Appreciate the text.”
“A lot of information is out there — a lot of it coming from Kanter Freedom — about what’s occurred,” Alter said. “Most of it is either outright lies or misleading information.”
Kanter Freedom purchased the courtside ticket under a different name — Alter said it appeared a third party made the purchase
— which means team security didn't know where he would be seated until he arrived.
Alter emphasized that Pagliocca did not interact with Kanter Freedom at any point Sunday, adding that Pagliocca was “shocked and surprised to hear that this was something that was happening” after Kanter Freedom’s appearance on Fox News.
“It goes without saying that Jeff does not endorse Enes Kanter (Freedom),” a team official said in a statement.
When Sky security located his seat, it placed a guard in an empty seat near Kanter Freedom on the baseline. The Sky had hired an additional guard to join their two-man game-day security team because of the tension surrounding the previous game against the Fever.
The additional personnel – and coordination with Fever, league and arena security and the Chicago Police Department – made Alter feel confident the team could intervene swiftly if Kanter Freedom crossed a line. Alter said he expected Kanter Freedom to cause problems the moment he saw the text to Pagliocca.
"He's never been to a Sky game before," Alter said. "It was pretty clear to us that his purpose of coming here was trying to be provocative, to see how much attention he could get and stir up."
Alter also disagreed with Kanter Freedom's characterization that Cloud instigated the altercation in the third quarter. According to several people seated near Kanter Freedom, Alter said the former NBA player began chirping at Cloud throughout the quarter. Although these were basketball-related taunts, Alter felt Kanter Freedom was attempting to initiate conflict.
Alter said stepping toward the court constituted an ejectable action because of the perceived threat to players. A member of the Fever security team was the first to intervene and make that assessment. Alter said the game officials also asked for Kanter Freedom to be removed to preserve a safe playing environment.
Upon reflection, Alter said his only regret was not warning players in advance. The Sky didn't learn that Kanter Freedom would be seated on the front row behind the baseline until less than 90 minutes before tipoff. With the team on the brink of playoff elimination, Alter elected not to inform players out of fear that it would distract from the game.
The Sky will not prevent similar activists or agitators from attending games, although Alter said he hopes the security response will deter similar actions. He said the team doesn't aim to prevent fans from attending based on their beliefs or identities but will enforce the fan code of conduct in similar circumstances.
Alter denounced Kanter Freedom as a bad-faith actor and questioned the sincerity of his concerns about transgender women in sports. He also emphasized the importance of defending a safe environment for Sky fans at their home arena.
"I'm thrilled that we have fans who are trans and they love coming to the arena and they feel safe and supported," Alter said. "That's a wonderful thing. That's something we're proud of and that's something we want to continue to encourage and we want to make sure that they are safe and do everything we can.
“Sincerely, we want everyone — regardless of who they are, what they are — to feel that way.”
SEC, Big Ten pass rules banning pros from return
NEWS SERVICES
The Southeastern Conference passed a rule Tuesday banning players who have been drafted by NFL, NBA or WNBA teams or listed on rosters in those leagues, joining the Big Ten in taking a strong stand against this month's unexpected surge of pro players trying to return to college.
The SEC's rule differs from the one adopted by the Big Ten, which only included football in its decision released earlier in the day and is expected address other sports later.
The news was the latest in a head-spinning week of court rulings, emergency rulemaking sessions and player signings, all of which point to a college sports landscape in disarray. The moves by the nation's two biggest conferences, four days before the start of football season, are intended to tamp down on the latest crisis — one involving players who came back to college after being released from pro rosters.
The SEC rule puts LSU on notice. This week, Tigers coach Lane Kiffin added Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, a pair of undrafted players out of Mississippi who had tryouts in the NFL over the summer, but were released by their teams during training camp.
The rule, which also applies to players signed by the NBA G League, will impact R.J. Luis Jr., who Monday won a court ruling that allowed him to sign with Will Wade's basketball program at LSU despite having briefly been under contract with the Jazz and Celtics of the NBA.
The Big Ten's penalties for violating its rule include a half-season suspension for the head coach and a fine to the school. The SEC didn't immediately divulge its penalties, though commissioner Greg Sankey is expected to have wide latitude in figuring out punishment.

REESE BREAKS TWO WNBA REBOUNDING RECORDS
Angel Reese rebounded her way into the record books not once, but twice in one night. Reese set a WNBA record with 26 rebounds in the Dream's 78-71 win over the Sparks on Monday in Los Angeles, pushing her past the season record in the same game. "Last time I was here, I didn't miss any shots. Tonight I couldn't
hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side," Reese told the postgame show. "I just want to be there for my team." The 24-year-old Reese surpassed Hall of Famer Chamique Holdsclaw's record of 24 rebounds, set on May 23, 2003 for the Mystics. She now has 458 rebounds on the season, seven more than A'ja Wilson's mark set in 2024. Reese secured her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season on a basket with 13.9 seconds left in the game that gave her 11 points. "That's a talent," Dream guard Allisha Gray said. "I'm just in awe watching her rebound." A three-time All-Star, Reese set a rookie record with 13.1 rebounds per game and the all-time league record with 15 straight double-doubles with the Sky in 2024. She led the league in rebounding her first two seasons and is leading again this season at 12.0 per game.

CURSE MAKER: WILLIAM "BILLY GOAT" SIANIS
Williams and Alcaraz got knocked out in the mixed doubles quarterfinals by Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli 5-4 (4), 4-1 on Tuesday in New York. Cobolli before the match called their opponents “the queen of tennis and the king of now.” Williams and Alcaraz bounced back from a slow start in the first round to defeat Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool 5-3, 4-1, much to the delight of fans inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. “I never expected to be back,” Williams said after her first match at Flushing Meadows since 2022. Now the question is whether she will play women’s doubles alongside older sister Venus. Serena, above, who’s back playing tennis at age 44, doesn’t plan to play singles. The matches in the first three rounds feature sets to four games, with a tiebreaker at 4-all and a 10-point tiebreaker instead of a third set. Only the final on Wednesday night will have sets to six games.
The bar owner placed the famous “Billy Goat Curse” on the Cubs for not allowing his goat into the 1945 World Series. It became one of the great legends in sports history. The legend gained greater renown thanks to his nephew, Sam Sianis, who spread the word into the 21st century.

Hired by Tribune Co. to wear hot pants and bring cheesecake to the ballpark, Collins was then fired in 1986 for appearing nude in Playboy.

He invented the Cubs Convention and celebrity guest conductors for the seventh-inning stretch. Some insist he invented Sammy Sosa, who attracted millions of fans to watch some bad teams.
Serena Williams getting back on the court at the U.S. Open after a four-year absence and Carlos Alcaraz returning to competitive tennis after being out the last four months with injury brought cheers and nostalgia to the Grand Slam tournament. The celebration was short-lived. After winning their debut playing together,
Cubs fans were usually fully krausened by the third inning before 1988, when the team

He built a championship team from the bottom up and also spent some quality time in the bleacher basket during a bacchanalia before leaving Chicago for good.
PRIEST: REV. JAMES GREANIAS
Invited by Cubs brass to remove the Curse of the Billy Goat before Game 1 of the 2008 playoffs, he then outed the executives after President Crane Kenney claimed Greanias had invited himself for playoff tickets.
BALLHAWK: MOE MULLINS
The Elmwood Park native has been sitting on the corner of Waveland and Kenmore avenues during home games since 1958, waiting for baseballs to clear the park with his ballhawk brethren. Few balls now leave the yard since the addition of the video board. "The steroid era was very good for the ballhawks," Mullins once declared.

Soul & Smoke opening flagship

By Louisa Kung Liu Chu CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Soul & Smoke, best known for its critically acclaimed American soul food and barbecue, will finally open a long-awaited flagship, inspired by roots in the South Side and, perhaps more surprisingly, molecular gastronomy.
The reimagined restaurant is scheduled to celebrate its grand opening in Evanston after years of delays on Sept. 1.
Chef D'Andre Carter and sommelier Heather Bublick began what was solely a catering company in 2020. The husband and wife still cater and now have four locations around Chicago, including a stand at Soldier Field. The flagship will be the first full-service restaurant of the Black- and woman-owned business.
The redesigned Soul & Smoke in Evanston will offer two menus with familiar favorites all day, and fine dining for dinner.
"We really want it to be a place where our current customers, who are coming in and getting a rib tip combo, can sit with someone having a full dinner with oysters and steak," said Carter.
He grew up on the classic Chicago-style smoked rib tips and spicy hot link sausage combination, but makes his own variation with heritage Duroc pork.
"We really want to combine our backgrounds in fine dining with the barbecue and soul food that we're currently making," said Bublick, who's also CEO.
I first met Bublick and Carter many years ago, before they married and had children, when they were working at the Michelin-starred restaurant Moto in Fulton Market under the innovative chef Homaro Cantu.

HEA POWER OF FOOD
Chef imagines a more accessible world — one meal at a time
By Yewande Komolafe | THE NEW YORK TIMES
O
ne afternoon this spring, a recipe by Lay Alston, a San Diego-based chef, arrived in my inbox. The dish — charred shrimp coated with a condiment she calls “shimi sauce” —
was easy enough for a cook of any level to master. But her instructions had a style all their own. “It starts with fire,” she wrote, “the kind that clings to shrimp just long enough to kiss the edges, dark and smoky, while the centers stay tender and sweet.”
As I read through the steps in my kitchen in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, I felt her voice reaching out to me from across the country. I marveled at her instructions, the detail and enthusiasm of the experience it promised. It all evoked my interest in its author, whom I felt drawn to get to know.
On Instagram, I had seen Alston navigating her kitchen and hosting a dinner series, Yaya's Crib. Following a spinal cord injury she endured in 2020, she, like me, navigates the world in a wheelchair. Watching her, I saw someone so thoroughly embodying much of what I am still learning to do.
When I spoke to Alston, 31, this summer, we discussed our shared love of cooking and our past lives in restaurant kitchens. She grew up in New York's Queens borough, the seventh of nine children, and every Sunday her family would gather at "grandma's crib," her grandmother's home.
"I learned the power of food and how it can bring us all together and connect us on a deeper level," she said.
Before guests arrive at Yaya's Crib, she burns a stick of palo santo, setting the tone for the sensory experience to follow. Seating arrangements are intentional: Couples are sometimes separated to heighten the novelty of a meal among strangers. As the evening's courses arrive, Alston guides diners to see each dish as part of a larger conversation. She aids the table's conversation, too, providing cards with prompts for those seated together to connect.
Accessibility for her guests is paramount. Chairs are removed for wheelchair users (one day she dreams of having dining tables with adjustable heights) and she offers a menu in Braille for visually impaired guests. She hopes to be able to
accommodate hearing-impaired guests in the future as well.
These details were inspired by her own struggles with dining as a wheelchair user. She described not being able to fit comfortably at the table whenever she dines out and the awkward distance between herself and her plate.
Her recovery began the way I've come to understand most recoveries begin: with shock, grief, disbelief and unanswerable questions. "I was grieving my capability, I was grieving everything I was made up of," she said. Alston wondered how she would navigate the workplaces she'd long known; a future in food felt like an impossible dream.
A turning point in her healing journey came during a visit to her rehabilitation facility's kitchen space. Accompanied by her physical therapist, the visit was to measure if and how Alston could cook for herself at home. She placed a cutting board in her lap, and, working from the one rack in the oven she could reach, made a meal of roasted salmon, potatoes and broccoli.
What would her life as a chef look like from a “seated position”? The answer, and Yaya’s Crib, slowly came into focus. (She also shares her thoughts in a monthly newsletter, Lomein Letters.) When speaking of her return to cooking so soon after her injury, she affirmed the power of food to heal us. “It’s the one thing that saved me in so many ways,” she said. “The community and connection I got from hosting dinners and pop-ups reparked my purpose.”
Today, she can barely reach her fridge's top shelf and resorts to grabbing things with tongs. After working in restaurant basement kitchens throughout her career, she envisions building a space that would

be accessible, custom and intentional, one in which she could “maneuver and flow through with ease and confidence." Refrigerators would be roll-in; counter-

tops would be roll-under. Upper cabinets, if they exist at all, would descend from the wall by remote control. Pantries would be roll-in closets rather than cabinets.
"The more I experienced the world post-injury, the more I thought, 'That could have been an easy fix,' she said. "Or not even a fix. That could have been something that was designed intentionally from the beginning." A new way of creating kitchens, dining rooms and restaurants is long overdue.
I am two years out of the hospital, and only one year returned to my kitchen. In speaking with Alston, I have started to see the hazier parts of the road ahead a little more clearly. The work she is doing is much larger than one dish can capture, but her shrimp with “shimi” sauce is a place to start.
"I always said that cooking was my passion," Alston said, "but also the conduit to my purpose of inspiring others to live a life past the challenges they've endured."
CHARRED SHRIMP WITH SHIMI SAUCE
Charred shrimp is served with shimi sauce, an herb-forward blend modeled after chimichurri that's one of Alston's signature recipes. JULIA GARTLAND/THE NEW YORK TIMES
One of chef Lay Alston's signature recipes, which she calls shimi sauce, is an herb-forward blend modeled after chimichurri with a few twists of her own — bird's-eye chiles for a spicy kick, a dab of miso and coconut sugar to lend mild sweetness, and fish sauce to add a savory depth. The confetti-like sauce holds together well and is loosened with lime juice for a pop of acidity. The sauce lovingly coats shrimp here but can go over any seafood, meat or vegetable. Alston often serves the dish at her pop-up dining series Yaya's Crib, which she hosts out of kitchen spaces in San Diego, with a mission to create accessible culinary spaces for herself and her guests. She recommends taking your time when charring the shrimp, and her words sound like poetry: "The pan hisses when the shrimp hit the pan ... and for a moment the kitchen fills with that clean, briny scent of the ocean meeting heat. You don't rush this part. You let the shrimp tell you when they're ready." Alston recommends serving the shrimp "with warm jasmine rice and a summer salad: charred corn, juicy tomatoes and ripe mango that tastes like sunshine that stayed a little longer than expected."
Makes: 4 servings Total time: 35 minutes 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped 2 to 3 Thai chiles, seeds in or out 1 (½-inch) piece fresh ginger, scrubbed and roughly chopped (2 teaspoons) 1 shallot, halved and roughly chopped Leaves from 4 fresh thyme sprigs 1 bunch fresh cilantro, trimmed and roughly chopped (2 cups)
1 small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped (3/4 cup)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 limes (1 zested and juiced and 1 cut in wedges, for serving)
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white miso
Salt and white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons safflower, canola or grapeseed oil, plus more for brushing the pan
Salt and white pepper, to taste
1 pound peeled and deveined
jumbo shrimp, tails on or off
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving
1. In a food processor, pulse together the garlic,
chiles, ginger, shallot and thyme leaves for about 1 minute, and move to a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, mint and scallions to the food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides once, until the herbs resemble confetti, 2 minutes. Transfer the chopped herbs to the same bowl. Toss to combine, and stir in the lime zest and juice.
-
The coconut sugar goes in next, dissolving slowly as you stir, softening the edges of the heat. Fish sauce follows, deep and savory, anchoring everything so it doesn't float away. The white miso folds in quietly, almost disappearing, but changing everything it touches. Taste it: not once, twice, maybe three times. It should hit you in waves: first, bright citrus, then heat, then something deeper that makes you pause for half a second longer than expected. Adjust by seasoning lightly with salt and pepper until it feels alive. This is your shimi sauce. Set it aside for now.
-
Now, the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
-
Heat a large (10- to 12-inch) cast-iron pan or a large griddle pan over high. Get the pan hot enough that you hesitate for a second before committing, but do it anyway, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a paper towel dipped in oil to lightly grease pan. The oil will shimmer and begin to smoke lightly. (Alternatively, heat a grill to medium-high. Lightly grease the grates using a paper towel dipped in oil.) 5. Lay shrimp in the pan in a single layer and let them sear without moving. The edges should char just enough to remind you that fire is part of the story here, about 4 minutes. Flip quickly and allow to sear on the heat for 1 minute more. Pull them from the hot pan and lay them into the bowl with the shimi sauce. (The heat will carry over for perfectly cooked shrimp.) Work in batches for this step if your pan is small. 6. Now, toss the warm shrimp in the shimi sauce. Watch it cling, slide and pool into every ridge and curve, about 2 minutes. The herbs will soften slightly in the heat, releasing their oils into the sauce like they've been waiting for it. 7. Serve immediately while hot, with warm jasmine rice and lime wedges for squeezing.

The oxtail cigar, made with hickory smoked beef oxtail wrapped in bread, covered in braised collard greens and sesame seeds for ashes, at Soul & Smoke in Evanston.
from Page E1
"Soul & Smoke is pretty much my dream restaurant," Carter said about the new flagship. "It's modern barbecue, touching on some family recipes."
So what took so long?
“We are in a century-old barn,” said Bublick. “We first moved into this building in 2016.”
They rented the former dairy barn turned school bus garage, then bought the building in February 2020. After COVID-19 closures the following month, and a pandemic pivot, the business unexpectedly boomed.
"We converted our old event space, and really thought we were going to have a much easier time," she added. "We thought that we would be grandfathered in.
It was already a licensed kitchen space, but then code changes kept coming, for the exhaust hood, fire sprinkler system and roof.
“Financials changed too, because things got more expensive,” Carter said. “We got caught up in the tariffs.”
“We refinanced the building to make all these changes happen the day the tariffs took effect,” Bublick said. “We still don’t have any investors, so it’s challenging doing it all on your own.”
They still make their bestselling brisket, but will challenge the idea of barbecue, most poignantly with an oxtail cigar that's an homage to the late Cantu.
"He was my mentor," said Carter. "Before Omar passed, he gave Heather and I the OK to do it."
But the protege turned pitmaster wanted to put his own riff on the dish that looks like a smoldering cigar, originally a playful transformation of the Cuban sandwich.
“So we’ve got hickory smoked beef oxtail that we wrap in bread and cover in braised collard greens,” said the chef. “The fire is my original barbecue sauce, and we take black and white sesame seeds to turn that into the ash.”
Served in cut crystal vintage ashtrays, the result is a neoclassic Chicago-style dish reincarnated.
"I'm really excited about the grilled halibut collar served with curry sauce that's my aunt's recipe," Carter said, crediting his mother's younger sister
Genean Jeanty. "I want people to pick it up and drag it through the sauce to have that on-the-bone experience."
He curated desserts with pastry consultant Casey Doody, made in-house by pastry cook Janice Espino.
They include a “sky-high” sweet potato pie with roasted sweet potato in a graham cracker crust topped by a mile-high torched meringue; a Ho Hos-inspired chocolate Swiss roll; and a peach cobbler.
A root beer float, though, made with the soft drink by Sprecher Brewery, was added by Carter for his late brother's favorite soda pop.
"I'm really excited for the throwback cocktails," said Bublick about the Long Island iced tea and a lychee martini. "And we really
focus on a lot of local beers; we still have our Beer For The Soul with Sketchbook, but this is the first time we're pouring it on draft."
The beverage program also focuses on producers and businesses by women, as well as Black, Indigenous and people of color.
Nonalcoholic drinks feature iced teas, brewed with leaves from Rare Tea Cellar; a house-made lemonade; plus slushies in purple Wildcat lemonade and piña colada flavors.
The restaurant may be in Evanston, but the design references the city.
"When you first walk in, there's chain-link fencing that's in the entryway," said Bublick. "It kind of feels like you're walking down a Chicago gangway, and you can see the backyard barbecue already in progress."

"The host stand looks like grandma's armoire, but modern and funky," she said. "And then you see the smokers."
They bought the centerpiece pair of bright red, 10-foot-long, hickory and cherry wood-burning offset smokers, made by the legendary fabricators A.N. Bewley in Dallas.
"There are some seats along the kitchen counter," she added. "We're calling it the chef's counter."
Reservations will be available at the 175-seat restaurant.
“We also have a lot of art in the space telling the story of the building and our community,” said Bublick. “Evanston is known for having the nation’s first reparations program, and it’s in large part due to the redlining that happened in this neighborhood.”
Robinson Enterprises, one of the first and largest Black-owned transportation companies in the country, decided to sell the restaurateurs their building when the family patriarch died in 2019.
"The first thing you see is the Bear Champ mural that we brought inside with a Robinson bus on it," said Bublick. "We really wanted to have a good mix of street art to fine art."
The boxing gloved bear character by artist JC Rivera can be seen on street murals around the city.
Television screens will play Michael Jordan-era Bulls basketball games, and only the biggest finals games of any sport live. A DJ-curated setlist will play R&B during the day with more hip-hop into the night.
The new Soul & Smoke will have outdoor seating with a mural titled “Soul & Fire” by artist Bianca Pastel next to their community fridge.
"It's inspired by the kids of this neighborhood," said Bublick. "Three girls going down a Slip 'N Slide."
The couple wants to share their nostalgia and joy.
"On the way to building our dream restaurant, we just had to survive too," said Carter. "And we have all these employees still left from the pandemic."
They're just two people who met while working at a restaurant in Chicago, he added.
"It's just crazy special to us."

effort at Roosevelt City Pavilion.
The social media influencer and Detroit native, who lives in Texas and rose to prominence for his simple, yet effective food reviews, first announced the partnership in a social media video on Friday, explaining that his team was already planning a food tour and festival when he learned about the storms, and how families had been in a near blackout for almost two weeks.
"The second this happened, everything changed — I had a conversation with my wife, I called my sister and we completely switched course," Lee told the Tribune on Monday, donning a red Salvation Army shirt while helping volunteers hand out kits. "How were we going to do a food festival in the Midwest while Gary has no power and nobody was talking about it?"
With 17 million TikTok followers and a few million on Instagram, Lee's influence was unmistakable on site.
“Keith Lee! Oh, my God!” a woman screamed out of her car, while spotting him a few yards away. Residents could either join the long drive-up line to receive relief kits, or walk up to a Salvation Army truck on the opposite end of the field.
Lee donated around \$15,000 toward relief supplies for Gary residents, while Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton added another \$15,000, bringing the total to \$30,000.
The Salvation Army disaster kit included core cleaning supplies like mops, brooms and brushes, as well as liquid disinfectants, household cleaners, work gloves, N95 masks and extra-thick trash bags. Volunteers also handed out sandwiches, chips and drinks.
The money also went to several food trucks set up in the parking lot of Roosevelt Pavilion, which was transformed into a free festi- val with a live DJ and food options like tacos, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken wings and more.
“What makes the people in the Midwest so special is that they can come out and they can still have a smile on their face no matter what turmoil or trials and tribulations they’re going through at home,” Lee said. “If you came here and you had no idea what was going on, you would just think that we are having a backyard boogie.”
Dora Rogers, a Gary resident of 50 years who lives a few blocks away, was helping direct the hundreds of people in line for relief kits and showing them the way to the music and food.
She is on about 14 days without electricity in her home.

“But what I have found is that this city has a hell of a backbone,” Rogers said. “The magnitude of this storm and this destruction was unprecedented ... but we came together and if this is what it took to bring us here, I’ll take it.”

MEATY SKILLET LASAGNA
The ingredient list looks long, but that's only because there are three cheeses.
Makes: 4 servings 3 (14.5-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, minced Salt
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
Generous pinch (or two) red pepper flakes
1 pound meatloaf mix (ground beef, pork and veal) or $\frac{1}{2}$ pound each of ground pork and ground beef 10 curly edged lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch lengths (do not substitute no-boil noodles)
$\frac{1}{2}$ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
$\frac{1}{4}$ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Ground black pepper 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped basil 1. Pulse tomatoes with their juice in a food processor until coarsely ground and no large pieces remain.
-
Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onion and $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon salt and cook until softened, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add meat and cook, breaking apart, until lightly browned and no longer pink, 3-5 minutes.
-
Scatter pasta over meat, then pour processed tomatoes over pasta. Cover, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat to maintain a vigorous simmer, until pasta is tender, about 29 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Season with salt and pepper. Dot heaping tablespoons of ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and let stand off heat until cheeses melt, 2-4 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

summer have to be reset, so the pressure's on.
Bed times change, homework has to be managed and there's a lot more laundry.
If you eat as a family, you also have to figure out what to make for dinner after a long day that starts with packing lunches and probably also includes sports practices and other extracurricular activities.
The best weeknight meals, then, are ones that come together with minimal prep and a fairly short cooking time.
Some can be largely prepared ahead or in batches — say in a slow cooker — and simply reheated.
Choosing recipes that don't have you running all around town for an unusual ingredient also helps, as does picking one-pan dishes that guarantee easy cleanup.
We can't help with separation anxiety or the stress of suddenly being over-scheduled in a new school year.
But we can help home cooks get a decent, economical dinner on the table in short fashion on a busy school night when there's so much more to do than prepare dinner.

Customizable egg breakfast is perfect for busy mornings
By Christine Gallary THEKITCHN.COM
My daughter loves sweet breakfasts, but I insist on a savory breakfast a few times a week. Often, that breakfast is an egg tortilla because I always have a stash of flour tortillas in the freezer for taco night or quesadillas.
This super-quick, easy recipe is exactly what it sounds like: eggs and tortilla. It's basically beaten eggs poured into a nonstick pan with a flour tortilla the same size as the pan placed on top. As the eggs cook, they stick to the tortilla. You flip the whole thing over so the tortilla gets a chance to brown and crisp up, fold it in half, and a hot meal is ready to go. We sometimes call this "egg quesadilla" at home, and just like quesadillas or tacos, it's perfect for customization.
We almost always add a sprinkle of shredded cheese, but it's a great way to use up the bits and bobs of crisper veggies, greens, leftover cooked vegetables and proteins, or even herbs.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT It's a quick meal. This is a fun way to make a super-quick meal that also works as a handheld meal if you're on the go. There's a nice hit of protein from the eggs, and the tortilla helps bulk things up.
Make it your own. I like to think of the filling options like you would making omelets. You can add your favorite cooked meats and veggies, leafy greens, cheese or even herbs. Because an egg tortilla serves one person, each one is totally customizable.
KEY INGREDIENTS Eggs: You'll need two large eggs for each egg tortilla. This is enough egg to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin, even layer.
Flour tortilla: Grab flour tortillas that are 10 inches wide, usually labeled "burrito size." I always have a package of tortillas in my freezer so that I can just grab however many I need. Plus, they thaw quickly.
Fillings: This is the fun part. You can add greens, veggies, cheese, proteins, herbs or scallions to customize each one. Aim for no more than two ingredients so there's enough room for the eggs to set around them.
An egg tortilla is so easy to customize as the filling options are endless. ALEX LEPE/TNS
EGG TORTILLA
Makes: 1 serving $1 \frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons olive oil
2 large eggs $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
1 (10-inch) flour tortilla (burrito sized)
Filling options (pick up to two): $\frac{1}{3}$ cup chopped tender leafy greens, such as baby spinach, baby kale $\frac{1}{3}$ cup shredded cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, Mexican blend
$\frac{1}{4}$ cup diced tomato or cooked vegetables, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, onion
$\frac{1}{4}$ cup cooked proteins, such as crumbled bacon or sausage, diced ham 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tender herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, chives or basil
1 medium scallion, thinly sliced
- Heat 1½ teaspoons olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering and the pan is evenly heated, about 3
minutes. Meanwhile, whisk two large eggs, $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds black pepper, if desired, together in a small bowl with a fork until there are no streaks of egg white. Make sure your filling ingredients are measured out and ready to go.
- Swirl pan so the oil evenly coats the bottom. If using leafy greens, add to the pan and cook just until wilted, then arrange into even layer.
- Pour in the eggs and gently tilt the pan as needed so the eggs evenly cover the bottom.
Working quickly before the eggs set, sprinkle with any remaining filling ingredients, then press one (10-inch) flour tortilla on top. Cook undisturbed until the eggs are fully set (some light browning is okay) and stick to the tortilla, 1½ to 2 minutes. 4. Slide a flat, wide spatula under the eggs and flip the eggs and tortilla over in one motion. Cook until the tortilla is browned in spots and crisp, 45 to 90 seconds. Fold the tortilla in half and slide onto a plate. Cut into two or four pieces.
Pomegranate seeds pop in holiday salad
By Katie Workman ASSOCIATED PRESS
Add color to your Rosh Hashanah dinner by serving an arugula salad with orange slices and pomegranate seeds. KATIE WORKMAN
ARUGULA, ORANGE AND POMEGRANATE SALAD
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, has many wonderful foods associated with it. Apples, honey, beef brisket, noodle kugel — and shining on this list are pomegranates, that one-of-a-kind beautiful, mythical, symbolic and even Biblical fruit.
In the Sephardic tradition, pomegranates are celebrated as part of the Rosh Hashanah meal as a symbol of abundance, knowledge and righteousness. The fruit's numerous seeds led some to say that the seeds corresponded to the 613 commandments of the Torah. (In fact, most pomegranates have somewhere between 400 and 800 seeds, but it's a lovely allegorical notion).
On the table, a pomegranate-shaped dish might hold honey for apples to be dipped in. Yemenite Jews in Israel might have a pile of pomegranates as a centerpiece during the meal.
Pomegranates are used in savory and sweet dishes, and are popular in Israeli and other Middle Eastern cooking, as well as in Mediterranean, Indian and African food. Pomegranate juice is also popular, used in cooking and available bottled for straight-up drinking and use in cocktails and mocktails.
The seeds and juice are both sweet and tart in flavor. Like citrus fruit, they taste refreshing and can be bold in flavor. And pomegranates are packed with nutrients.
You can add them to salads, rice and grain dishes, or stir them into yogurt. Sprinkle them on baked eggplant and other roasted vegetable dishes. Or incorporate them into tarts, cakes, scones and chocolate desserts.
This Rosh Hashanah, use pomegranate seeds to provide a little flair and color to the holiday dinner by adding them to a simple salad.
REMOVING SEEDS FROM POMEGRANATES
The biggest obstacle to enjoying them is getting those bountiful seeds from the leathery skin and clingy white internal membranes.
You need to do a little work cutting through the thick exterior and extracting the seeds without letting any of the juice stain your clothes, countertop or dish towels.
Some supermarkets or specialty markets sell containers of just the seeds. If you are buying the seeds already removed from the fruit, make sure the little arils are bright red and firm, not shriveled, soft or brownish in color.
If you're buying whole pomegranates, choose ones that are firm and bright in
For the lemon vinaigrette: 1 large shallot, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon rice or white wine vinegar 3 tablespoons olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste For the salad: 8 cups baby arugula 1 small red onion halved and
color. Firm and heavy indicates that the arils/seeds are filled with lots of juice.
Make sure the fruit is free of brown spots and bruises.
Before beginning, grab an apron to protect your clothes (or wear an old, unloved shirt) and, if possivery thinly sliced
2 oranges, preferably cara

2. Place the arugula in a large serving bowl with the onion. Peel the oranges
ble, a plastic (not wood) cutting board to prevent the juice from staining your cutting surface.
If you want to prevent any temporary staining of your hands, wear some cooking-compatible plastic or rubber gloves.
and use a paring knife to remove all of the white pith from the outside of the fruit. Separate the orange slices and cut each slice into 4 pieces. Add these to the bowl.
- Pour the dressing on the salad and toss to combine. Scatter the pomegranate seeds over the top and serve.
Start by cutting off a thin slice of the fruit's bottom so it can stand securely. Then cut around the crown (the end with the "blossom" sticking out) at a slight angle into the top of the fruit so that the top comes off and there is a slight dip into the pomegranate. Use your knife and from top to bottom cut just through the thick skin but not into the seeds.
Make five more cuts at fairly equal segments so there are a total of six cuts/sections. Pry open the pomegranate with your fingers; it should fall into six open sections.
Fill a large bowl with cold water. Submerge the sections and gently separate the seeds from the white membranes. As the seeds separate from the fruit, they will sink to the bottom, while the white membranes will float to the top.
Then simply toss the skin, skim the membranes from the water, drain seeds in a strainer, and you are ready to roll.

Don't put away those grills just yet. There's still time to enjoy the fiery taste of grilled meals before fall brings cooler temperatures.
Grilling the chicken is a no-brainer here, but grilling a humble half head of cabbage really transforms the veggie from squeaky and sulfurous to sweet and tender.
GRILLED CHICKEN AND CABBAGE WITH LEMONY BROWNED BUTTER DRESSING
Makes: 4 servings
4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1 $\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoons table salt, divided $\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoon pepper, divided $\frac{1}{2}$ head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges through core
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lemons, halved, plus 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
8 tablespoons unsalted butter $\frac{1}{2}$ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon pepper. Brush cabbage all over with oil and sprinkle with $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon salt and remaining $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon pepper. Grill chicken, cabbage and lemon halves over hot fire (covered if using gas) until cabbage is charred and chicken registers 160 degrees, 6 to 12 minutes, flipping chicken and cabbage halfway through grilling. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.
2. Squeeze lemons to yield 3 tablespoons juice. Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and capers and cook, stirring frequently, until butter is deep golden brown and almonds are toasted, 4 to 6 minutes. Off heat, carefully stir in lemon zest and juice and remaining $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon salt, scraping up any browned bits.
3. Arrange cabbage on a serving platter. Slice chicken $\frac{1}{2}$ inch thick and arrange over cabbage. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
Modern carrot tzimmes dish for Rosh Hashana
SERIOUSLY SIMPLE
By Diane Rossen Worthington TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
Tzimmes is a traditional Ashkenazi side dish enjoyed during the Jewish holidays. MICAH SIVA/TNS
Times have changed. The classic brisket and roast chicken may not suit all your Rosh Hashana guests who opt for healthier choices. I have selected this tzimmes recipe for its ease in cooking.
The most time is spent on measuring and preparing the ingredients. Tzimmes means “a fuss,” but this version is streamlined.
Tzimmes is a traditional Ashkenazi side dish enjoyed during the Jewish holidays. Often sticky sweet, with prunes and honey, this version relies on apple juice, maple syrup and dates to naturally sweeten it. Ginger and pecans add a zing and crunch to the roasted carrots, sweet potatoes and parsnips.
If you are a make-ahead cook, you'll be happy to know you can make this four days ahead and refrigerate or even freeze it for three months.
CARROT AND PARSNIPS TZIMMES WITH DATES AND PECANS
Makes: 6 servings 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2-by- $\frac{1}{2}$ -inch-wide wedges 6 medium carrots, cut into 2-by- $\frac{1}{2}$ -inch pieces 2 medium parsnips, cut into 2-by- $\frac{1}{2}$ -inch pieces 6 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped $\frac{1}{2}$ cup dates, pitted and roughly chopped $\frac{1}{2}$ cup pecans, roughly chopped $\frac{2}{3}$ cup apple juice $\frac{3}{4}$ cup vegetable broth, low sodium if preferred 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon orange zest $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon sea salt $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon black pepper $\frac{1}{4}$ cup unsalted vegan butter, cubed Flaky salt
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, green onions, garlic, dates and pecans in a large baking dish or Dutch oven.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple juice, vegetable broth, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, orange zest, salt and pepper. Pour the liquid over the vegetable mixture. Top the vegetables with the butter cubes.
- Cover the baking dish with a lid or seal tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with flaky salt before serving.
Note: Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat thawed or refrigerated tzimmes at 350 degrees until warmed through. For variations, use dried figs in place of the dates, if preferred. You may also substitute the pecans with walnuts.
Shifting tastes make savory, spicy cocktails hot commodity
To craft beverages with kick, bartenders combining chiles, brines, fruit powders
By Louise Dixon ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spicy drinks are having a moment, and it's no longer just standard spicy margs and bloody marys. Bartenders are getting experimental to create the perfect combination with a kick.
"The same way that you want to season a steak or a pork chop, you want to add multiple layers. And I think spice does that if you do it the right way," says Turner Greaves, bartender at New York's Sip and Guzzle.
He makes a tequila high-ball called Doctor Green, which he describes as “super-herbaceous, vegetal, a little bitter. It’s got tomatillo, green apple, shiso, horseradish, and then you can make it spicier with a little serrano pepper on the side.”
FROM SWEET TO SAVORY
James Stevenson, co-founder of Brutes of Mayfair cocktail bar in London, says drinks were very sweet when he started out 20 years ago, and now consumers' tastes have shifted.
"I think there's a real movement toward savory cocktails," he says. "Every drink we put on the menu that is more savory or has a pickled element or spice element tends to be our bestseller."
Stevenson makes a mezcal-based Bagheera, which he describes as a turbo-spiced margarita.
"We juice (blend) rather than shaking the drink, with fresh chile and coriander,"
he says. They make a fresh syrup, adding tequila and freshly squeezed lime, and finish off the drink with a house-made Tajin salt rim.
AGAVE SPIRITS A GOOD MATCH FOR SPICE
It's no coincidence both bartenders picked agave-based spirits — tequila and mezcal — for their spicy offerings.
Stevenson explains that a lot of the flavor profiles you get from agaves are fresher, more vegetal than other spirits. "They're just very akin to chiles," he says. Noting that tequila pairs well with salt, he adds, "Spice and savory flavors are just a natural kinship."
Alex Lyoness, bar manager at London's Flip-Dog, makes his Late Night cocktail with a hint of an after-hours kebab and pickles. He uses a white tequila and a raicilla (an agave similar to mezcal). Soy sauce brings a deep flavor, he says, and a homemade chile tincture spices things up.
He then adds an onion-and-olive brine “like the ultimate dirty martini” and garnishes with a bright pink pickled turnip.
A TINGLY FEELING
But chiles aren't the only way to add spice. Lyoness says you're looking to create a "mouthfeel." He uses Sichuan peppercorns and the Timur berry, which he says has a cool, numbing quality. "What you're looking for is that tingling across the palate," he says.
Greaves recommends bringing a little classic cook-

"You can add ginger, you can add garlic cloves, and star anise and fennel into these drinks, and it adds so many different elements of pepper, of spice. Go home and then throw cayenne into a margarita," he says.

A good spicy drink should "give you the itches on the sides of your mouth" but not overwhelm, he says.

Anderson says.

Psychologists tout the importance of knowing when to seek help as it can be difficult for men to realize when they're struggling with their mental health
Don't take it like a man
By RJ Mackenzie THE NEW YORK TIMES
efore boys even hit puberty, they're absorbing lessons from society about what it means to be a man. All too often, they're told to shrug off emotional pain and turn the help of others.
away from the help of others.
“Somehow we frame seeking help as like a failure,” said Matt Englar-Carlson, a professor of counseling at California State University, Fullerton. “It doesn’t matter if you’re asking for directions or you’re going to see the GP or psychologist.”
Many men end up either ignoring mental health problems or trying to handle them alone. A 2024 survey of roughly 70,000 American adults found that around $20\%$ of men experienced a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety, in the previous year.
Other studies have shown that men are less likely to seek care than women, it takes longer for them to feel better, and they are more likely to drop out of treatment. At the same time, men are more than twice as likely as women to misuse drugs and alcohol, and in 2023, men died by suicide almost four times more than women did.
The best thing people can do to guard against these risks, psychologists say, is to build stronger social connections with family and friends. But it's also important to know when it's time to reach out to a mental health professional. With this in mind, we asked psychologists what they want men to know about their mental health. Here's what they said.
DEPRESSION OFTEN LOOKS DIFFERENT IN MEN
Men are diagnosed with depression at around half the rate that women are. But this is partly because depressed men often show slightly different symptoms, said Derek Griffith, a medical ethics
professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
"It's not $100\%$ clear that the way that we're diagnosing men is accurately identifying the men who are in need," he said.
Studies show that while both women and men with depression express symptoms like lethargy or loss of interest in activities, men are more likely to express risk-taking; feelings of anger and irritability; or even physical symptoms like headaches or stomach problems.
This is often called masked or male-type depression, said Daniel Singley, a psychologist at the Center for Men's Excellence in San Diego. When these male-type symptoms of depression are taken into account, Griffith said, the differences in diagnosis rates between men and women disappear.
Many men may not even recognize that they are depressed. Feeling irritable and angry every now and then might be signs of everyday stress, but if you feel these emotions all the time, or loved ones have noticed them, ask yourself whether they might be symptoms of depression, Singley said.
BECOMING A FATHER CAN AFFECT MENTAL HEALTH
Postpartum depression is a well-recognized health risk among women, affecting 10% to 20% of new mothers. But as many as 10% of new fathers are diagnosed with it, too.
"It's a major life identity change to go from dude to dad," Singley said.
Becoming a new father can be especially stressful for those with a history of poor mental health and can cause the recurrence of symptoms like anxiety, he added. Singley said that new dads often think their only role is to support their partner, neglecting their own well-being. It's crucial that they also look after themselves, he added, by getting good sleep, eating well, exercising and connecting with friends.
This can be hard with a new baby, but even a few minutes a day to yourself can help. Having strong social supports beyond your partner or immediate family is also important, Singley said.
"Be supportive, but don't stop there," he said.
OLDER WHITE MEN HAVE A HIGH RISK OF SUICIDE
Broadly speaking, middle-aged and older Americans are at the greatest risk for suicide, with the highest rates among men older than 75. Native Americans and Native Alaskans are at the greatest risk, followed by non-Hispanic white men.
But a closer look at demographics complicates this story. Among most racial and ethnic groups, suicide risk peaks before age 35 and falls with age. But for white men, it steadily rises.
Researchers have focused largely on lower socioeconomic status as a driver of worse mental health outcomes, Griffith said. As a result, older men, who are often wealthier than their younger counterparts, have generally received less attention by mental health research and awareness campaigns, he added. Yet it's just as crucial to recognize signs of poor mental health, like increased drinking or worse sleep, in older men.
EXERCISE IS GREAT FOR MENTAL HEALTH — UP TO A POINT
Every expert agreed that men can improve their mental health by forging connections with others. Many people do this by meeting friends for workouts at the gym or by joining a sports team. They get the combined mental health benefits of fitness and community.
But don't overdo it, Englar-Carlson said. He sees many men who believe only major lifestyle changes, like running a marathon or getting a six-pack, will help lift a period of low mood, he said. "They get sold on the home run," he said.
Instead, focus on regular but not excessive exercise routines. A 2018 study of American adults found that those who took part in team sports, cycled or hit the gym three to five times a week had fewer days of poor mental health each month. But people who exercised more than that had worse mental health.
MEN CAN BE VICTIMS OF ABUSE
Several psychologists mentioned that troubled relationships can cause emotional distress, but men may not recognize the damage that can come out of them or may not seek support. That includes psychological or physical abuse, said Saed Hill, a community support specialist at Yale University.
There is no question that women are much more likely to be victims of domestic abuse than men. Still, nearly 1 in 7 men has experienced physical violence by an intimate partner, according to a national survey.
Isolation and shame often keep them from sharing this abuse with health professionals, said Ben Hine, a psychologist at the University of West London, who was an author of a 2022 study of men who called a domestic violence hotline.
"They thought they must be one of the only people this has ever happened to," he said.
Organizations like the National Domestic Violence Hotline and many shelters offer services to men who have been abused.
MEN ARE STARTING TO SEEK HELP MORE
While society still might push men to bottle up their feelings, experts said that many are finding the courage to reach out. While men are less likely than women to seek mental health help, more than three times as many men sought help in 2023 as they did in 2014.
Men should turn to therapy at any stage of their journey toward better mental health, not just during a crisis, experts said.
"It's OK to not know how you feel or exactly what the problem is," said Will Elder, a psychologist at South Texas Veterans Health Care System.
Many men worry that their therapist will try to pressure them in some way during sessions, Elder said. But you are in control of everything that happens during therapy, he added.
"Your psychologist's job is to just help you make great decisions so you feel good about what you're doing," he said.
PEOPLE'S PHARMACY PRESCRIPTIONS AND HOME REMEDIES
As statin replacement, milk thistle may be beneficial, can lower LDL
A review of multiple studies suggested that milk thistle can lower total cholesterol and LDL. DREAMSTIME
By Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D. KING FEATURES SYNDICATE
Q: I am looking for ways to control my cholesterol, specifically the LDL, naturally without statins. I am interested in milk thistle and would like to know what an appropriate dosage is.
A: Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has traditionally been used to treat liver or gallbladder problems. There has been some recent research on its ability to reduce cardiometabolic risk factors, such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin resistance (Phytotherapy Research, December 2025).
A review of multiple studies suggested that the active compound of milk thistle, silymarin, can lower fasting glucose, insulin resistance, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL (Antioxidants, March 24, 2024). The doses used among the 33 studies included in the analysis varied widely, from 140 milligrams to 2,100 milligrams per day.
When we wrote “The People’s Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies” almost 30 years ago, we reported that the usual dose of milk thistle was 420 milligrams/day, based on European practice. We also warned not to take it as tea; the active compound is not water soluble.
Q: Around 1980, I was working at a major ad agency. We had a big presentation for a possible new client scheduled for the next day when it was obvious to all that I was coming down with a cold. The office manager sent me home with some homework.
I was to take 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C each hour. She said this was the "prescription" her own doctor had given her and that it stopped her cold in its tracks. I did as I'd been told (except I took 500 milligrams each half hour). That afternoon, she called to check on me, and I told her that I felt fantastic. No more cold.
I have taken this vitamin C dosage at the first sign of cold symptoms ever since. I have not come down with a cold in so many years that I cannot even recall my last cold.
A: Linus Pauling proposed that ascorbic acid could be helpful in treating colds in his book, “Vitamin C and the Common Cold” (1970). Since then, scientists have been arguing about whether this might be true.
An article in the Polish Archives of Internal Medicine (Jan. 30, 2025) summarizes the evidence from randomized controlled trials. According to the research, vitamin C rarely prevents colds. However, taking at least 1 gram daily can significantly shorten the duration of a cold and reduce the severity of the symptoms. Higher doses appear to work better.
We interviewed the lead author, Dr. Harri Hemila, for our People's Pharmacy radio show. You can listen to the free podcast. Search for "Show 1431: Vitamin C Studies on Colds &
CANCER Vindicate Linus Pauling."
Q: I read your article about ear pain on airplanes. Nowhere did I see the simplest cost-free solution of all: Tell the flight attendant you experience ear pain. They will bring you two cups with damp, warm paper towels inside. Place these over your ears.
I was in agony once on a transatlantic flight when a kindly stewardess solved my problem. It was unforgettable how effective this simple tactic can be. A: Decades ago, we heard from a flight attendant that the “hot cup” trick could alleviate ear pain on descent. They would provide two Styrofoam cups with hot damp paper towels in the bottom. Placing the cups over the ears seemingly helped get blocked eustachian tubes open to ease the pain.
We don't know if airlines still permit this practice. If a flight attendant is willing to help, make sure there is no liquid left to cause a burn. When the paper towel is pressed firmly into the bottom of the cup, it should not pose a burn hazard.

Q&A
How can I make nursery safe?
MAYO CLINIC
DREAMSTIME
Q: We're expecting our first child and are so excited. We want to make sure the nursery isn't just a sweet space for our baby, but also safe. Do you have recommendations for us as we start our nursery project? A: You're getting ready to welcome your child into the world. Your main priority now is to keep your little miracle safe. Your baby will be spending a lot of time in the nursery, so it's important to check for and correct any potential safety hazards.
Take a few minutes to evaluate each part of your nursery with these tips in mind.
CRIB AND BASSINET SAFETY
Sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, is the unexplained death of an infant younger than 1. While the exact cause of SIDS remains under investigation, research has shown that a safe sleeping environment can help prevent SIDS deaths.
To help reduce the risk of sleep-related infant death, these safe sleep guidelines are recommended.
Always lay babies to sleep on their backs on a firm, flat surface. A mattress should fit snugly into the frame of the crib or bassinet, with no gaps.
Avoid co-sleeping. Your baby should have his or her own sleeping space in a crib or bassinet. It's recommended that the baby sleeps in the same room as the caregiver for at least the first six months of life.
Don't place loose blankets, bumpers, pillows or stuffed animals in a crib with a sleeping infant.
GENERAL NURSERY SAFETY
Overall safety recommendations in the nursery include the following.
Place a night light in the nursery and any nearby bathroom and hallway.
Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and check their function regularly.
Anchor heavy furniture, such as dressers and book-shelves, to the wall. You can buy safety straps or wall anchor kits separately if the furniture doesn't come with them.
WINDOW SAFETY
To ensure your children's safety around windows in the nursery and other parts of your home, it's recommended to do several things.
Move furniture away from windows.
Supervise children in rooms with open windows. Never rely on screens to prevent falls.
Install a stop that prevents windows from opening further than 4 inches.
Install window guards to cover the lower portion of the window.
Open double-hung windows only from the top.
Secure cords from blinds or curtains out of reach of children.
SAFETY OUTSIDE THE NURSERY
Pay attention to hazards related to other furniture in your home. You should do the following three things.
Never leave a baby unattended on an elevated surface, such as a table.
Place bassinets or car seats on the floor rather than on tables, counters, beds or other furniture.
Place bumpers or guards on sharp corners of furniture.
CAR SEAT SAFETY
The best protection for your child in a vehicle crash is a properly secured child safety seat. However, buying and installing the correct seat for your child can be confusing. Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death in children, and 4 out of 5 car seats are not properly installed.
Car safety seats aren't one-size-fits-all for children. The type of seat your child needs depends on several factors. These include your child's age, size and developmental needs. Read the vehicle owner's manual and the car safety seat manual each time you install the seat.

专题一： 【环境监管的碎片化与资本权力的规避机制：煤灰污染减排法实施中的制度性失灵】
1. 制度现实困境深描（Institutional Dilemma）
伊利诺伊州《煤灰污染减排法》（2019年通过）要求煤灰场在2022年前提交封闭计划 [F3_4 🔍]，但维斯塔公司在维米利恩河沿岸煤灰场的侵蚀问题仍持续恶化 [F3_5 🔍]。该困境的核心在于：环境监管的碎片化如何为资本权力提供规避机制，使“合法污染”成为制度化路径？
2. 权力机制与话语技术剖析（Power Mechanisms & Discourse Technology）
煤灰污染监管失灵的权力运作机制体现在： - 监管权限的碎片化：联邦与州级监管机构在煤灰场管理上存在职责交叉与真空地带，企业通过管辖权争议规避监管责任。 - 技术话语的合法化：企业通过“风险评估报告”与“预防性措施”包装污染行为，将环境破坏问题转化为技术争议，掩盖其资本逐利的本质。 - 信息不对称的权力固化：监管部门与企业间存在信息不对称，当地居民（如Mike Camp）的抗议被边缘化，形成“污染受害者的沉默化”。
3. 批判理论框架的历史资源对话（Critical Theory Dialogue）
- 布尔迪厄：煤灰污染监管的碎片化体现了“象征资本”的权力运作——监管机构通过技术话语垄断将环境正义问题转化为专家治理问题，剥夺了公众的话语权。
- 哈维：该事件揭示了资本的“空间固定”（spatial fix）机制——煤灰场选址于洪泛区，通过环境不正义将污染成本转嫁给贫困社区，形成“累积的不平等”。
- 贝克：污染风险的“制造与转嫁”体现了风险社会中的权力不对称——企业通过风险评估将污染责任转嫁给社会，而监管机构则通过程序合法性掩盖其失职。
4. 制度批判的当代延伸与政策含义（Contemporary Synthesis）
- 气候正义视角：煤灰污染问题应纳入气候正义框架，关注世代间正义与空间正义的交织。
- 政策建议： 1. 监管权限整合：建立跨部门协调机制，消除监管碎片化带来的真空地带。 2. 信息公开与公众参与：强制要求企业公开环境风险评估报告，并建立社区监督委员会。 3. 污染者付费原则：将煤灰场封闭成本完全内部化，通过环境责任保险确保赔偿机制。
专题二： 【技术官僚制与公共基础设施的资本化：CTA轨道更换工程的权力谱系】
1. 制度现实困境深描（Institutional Dilemma）
CTA轨道更换工程预估成本30亿美元，但进展缓慢 [F17_30 🔍]。奥克帕克村村长批评“进展过于缓慢”，CTA代理总裁归咎于“规划复杂性”。该困境的核心在于：技术官僚制如何通过“复杂性话语”掩盖资本对公共基础设施的控制，形成“技术垄断”权力？
2. 权力机制与话语技术剖析（Power Mechanisms & Discourse Technology）
CTA工程延宕的权力运作机制体现在： - 成本估算的不透明化：30亿美元的成本估算缺乏第三方审计，可能存在预算泡沫或利益输送。 - 技术话语的合法化：CTA通过“工程复杂性”与“监管要求”话语，将工程延宕归咎于外部因素，掩盖其内部管理失效。 - 资本-技术联盟：轨道更换工程涉及大型承包商、工程咨询公司与金融机构，形成“技术官僚-资本联盟”，将公共基础设施转化为资本增值工具。
3. 批判理论框架的历史资源对话（Critical Theory Dialogue）
- 韦伯：CTA工程体现了“合理化”的极致——技术官僚通过程序正义掩盖实质不正义，将公共基础设施管理转化为技术操作问题。
- 福柯：该工程揭示了“治理术”（governmentality）的运作——CTA通过成本-效益分析与风险评估，将公共决策问题转化为技术可计算问题，形成“治理的技术化”。
- 利奥塔：工程延宕体现了“宏大叙事”的崩溃——CTA通过“效率神话”包装工程延宕，但实则掩盖了资本逻辑对公共利益的侵蚀。
4. 制度批判的当代延伸与政策含义（Contemporary Synthesis）
- 数字治理视角：CTA工程可引入区块链技术实现预算透明化，或通过数字民主平台提升公众参与度。
- 政策建议： 1. 预算透明化：建立第三方独立审计机制，公开工程预算与实际支出的逐项对比。 2. 公众参与机制：设立社区监督委员会，参与工程进度与质量监督。 3. 反垄断监管：限制单一承包商垄断多个工程项目，引入竞争机制降低成本。

理性与情感辩证深度研判：Chicago Tribune (2026-08-26)
▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)
在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在个体生命体验、情感撕裂与生活世界崩解层面最值得学者进一步深思（注意：专注微观人性体验，不重复宏观制度批判）：
1. 【普夫莱格神父恢复牧师职务并获清白】 [F16_28 🔍]
* *事件简述*：迈克尔·普夫莱格神父在奥本格雷沙姆圣萨宾娜教堂恢复牧师职务，芝加哥总教区称“并无理由相信其有罪”。普夫莱格此前被指控30多年前对未成年人实施性虐待，现已获澄清。
* *情感政治切入点*：该事件触动了**信仰与创伤、正义与宽恕、集体记忆与遗忘**的深层情感撕裂。制度性“清白”背后，受害者与社区的情感创伤如何被系统理性所压抑？教会作为道德权威机构，其情感修复能力与制度冷漠形成鲜明对比。
2. 【多莉·帕顿之逝与芝加哥人的集体哀悼】 [F6_11 🔍]
* *事件简述*：乡村音乐传奇多莉·帕顿于2026年8月25日在田纳西州纳什维尔平静离世，享年80岁。芝加哥民众纷纷涌向埃奇沃特社区的帕顿壁画前献花悼念，表达对这位跨世代偶像的深切哀思。
* *情感政治切入点*：帕顿之逝触动了**世代记忆、文化认同与情感共同体**的重构。在一个碎片化的时代，帕顿作为“感性符号”连接了不同世代的情感记忆。其去世引发的集体哀悼，暴露了现代社会中**情感真空**的补偿性需求——系统理性（效率、数据、算法）无法填补的生命意义缺口。
3. 【北芝加哥启动更换老旧铅管工程】 [F39_72 🔍]
* *事件简述*：建筑施工队正在为北芝加哥150户家庭更换连接自来水供应的老旧铅管，这是该市为改善居民饮用水质量而启动的多年计划的一部分，且无需居民承担任何费用。
* *情感政治切入点*：该事件揭示了**环境正义与肉身安全**的情感政治。铅中毒对儿童发育的长期伤害、社区对“安全饮用水”的渴望与制度性拖延之间的张力，构成了现代城市生活中的**隐性暴力**。系统理性（成本效益分析）与微观痛感（家庭健康焦虑）的撕裂，凸显了技术官僚逻辑对生命尊严的剥夺。
▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)
专题一：【信仰创伤与制度清白的辩证：普夫莱格神父案中的理性修复与情感断裂】
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
普夫莱格案的“清白”裁决，是教会与法律系统程序正义的典型体现。芝加哥总教区与法律机构通过“并无理由相信其有罪”的官方声明，将30多年前的指控定性为“缺乏证据”，从而完成了对系统理性的修复。这一过程依赖于： - 法律证据标准：系统理性要求“超越合理怀疑”的证明标准，将活生生的受害者体验转化为“证据不足”的技术判断。[F16_29 🔍] - 机构免责逻辑：教会作为道德权威机构，通过程序正义的形式化操作，将道德责任转嫁给法律系统，从而规避自身的制度性创伤责任。[F16_29 🔍] - 时间与遗忘的算法：30年的时间跨度被系统理性视为“自然遗忘”的过程，而忽视了受害者与社区的情感记忕无法被时间所抹平。[F16_28 🔍]
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
在普夫莱格案中，系统理性的“清白”裁决与微观生活世界的痛感形成了鲜明对比： - 受害者的沉默创伤：受害者（多数为儿童）的创伤体验被系统理性所压抑。其痛感无法通过法律程序得到表达，只能以无声的存在形式存在于社区记忆中。[F16_28 🔍] - 社区信仰的崩溃：教会作为信仰的象征，其“清白”裁决动摇了社区对道德权威的信任。信徒们面临信仰与怀疑的二元张力：一方面，他们渴望宽恕与和解；另一方面，他们无法接受系统理性对创伤的漠视。[F16_29 🔍] - 儿童受害者的身份危机：对于那些在30年前遭受虐待的儿童（现已成年），其身份认同与情感安全受到系统理性的进一步剥夺。他们被迫面对“被遗忘”的现实，其痛感被系统理性定义为“非理性”的存在。[F16_28 🔍]
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
系统理性与情感痛感的辩证摩擦体现在以下几个层面： - 程序正义 vs. 实质正义：系统理性通过程序正义（法律证据、机构免责）完成了对自身的修复，但忽视了实质正义（受害者的情感修复、社区的信任重建）。程序正义成为系统理性的道德面具，掩盖了其对情感正义的漠视。[F16_29 🔍] - 遗忘 vs. 记忆：系统理性将时间视为“遗忘的算法”，而情感痛感则要求记忆的永恒性。受害者与社区的情感记忆无法被时间所抹平，其痛感成为对系统理性的隐性反抗。[F16_28 🔍] - 宽恕 vs. 责任：系统理性通过“清白”裁决完成了对责任的规避，但宽恕的前提是责任的承担。受害者与社区的宽恕需求与系统理性的责任规避形成了不可调和的张力。[F16_29 🔍]
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
- 制度端的冷色调语言：系统理性通过官方声明（“并无理由相信其有罪”）展现了其冷漠的面孔。这种语言缺乏情感温度，将活生生的痛感转化为技术性的判断。[F16_29 🔍]
- 生活端的热色调语言：受害者与社区的痛感通过非正式渠道（社区传言、社交媒体、口述历史）表达，形成了与制度端的话语温度差。这种温度差揭示了系统理性对情感真空的补偿性需求。[F16_28 🔍]
- 社会心理韧性诊断：系统理性通过程序正义完成了对自身的修复，但忽视了情感韧性的建构。受害者与社区的痛感成为社会心理韧性的裂痕，其修复需求超越了系统理性的技术操作范围。未来的社会心理韧性建构，需在系统理性与情感正义之间寻找平衡。
专题二：【环境正义与肉身安全：多莉·帕顿之逝与芝加哥人的集体哀悼】
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
多莉·帕顿之逝引发的集体哀悼，暴露了现代社会中情感真空的补偿性需求。系统理性通过以下逻辑完成了对帕顿文化遗产的技术性接管： - 文化产业化逻辑：帕顿作为乡村音乐传奇，其去世被系统理性转化为商业IP价值与流量经济的技术问题。[F6_11 🔍] - 集体记忆的算法化：芝加哥民众涌向帕顿壁画献花的行为被系统理性视为数据可视化的情感表达，忽视了其背后的世代记忆与文化认同需求。[F6_11 🔍] - 情感消费主义：系统理性通过社交媒体、新闻报道等渠道将集体哀悼转化为可量化的情感消费，进一步剥夺了哀悼的自主性与深度体验。[F6_11 🔍]
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
帕顿之逝引发的集体哀悼，揭示了现代社会中情感真空的补偿性需求： - 世代记忆的连接：帕顿作为“感性符号”连接了不同世代的情感记忆。其去世引发的集体哀悼，暴露了现代社会中情感真空的补偿性需求——系统理性（效率、数据、算法）无法填补的生命意义缺口。[F6_11 🔍] - 文化认同的重构：在一个碎片化的时代，帕顿的去世成为文化认同的象征性事件。社区通过集体哀悼重建了情感共同体，但这种重建被系统理性视为技术问题，进一步剥夺了其自主性。[F6_11 🔍] - 生命意义的追寻：帕顿之逝触动了现代社会中生命意义的追寻。系统理性通过商业化、算法化等手段将这种追寻转化为可量化的情感消费，但忽视了其背后的深度痛感与存在焦虑。[F6_11 🔍]
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
系统理性与情感痛感的辩证摩擦体现在以下几个层面： - 文化产业化 vs. 生命意义：系统理性通过文化产业化逻辑将帕顿之逝转化为商业IP价值，但忽视了其背后的生命意义追寻。这种忽视将活生生的痛感转化为技术问题，进一步剥夺了哀悼的自主性。[F6_11 🔍] - 集体记忆的算法化 vs. 世代记忆：系统理性通过算法化逻辑将集体哀悼转化为数据可视化，但忽视了其背后的世代记忆与文化认同需求。这种忽视将情感表达转化为被动接受的存在，进一步剥夺了社区的情感能动性。[F6_11 🔍] - 情感消费主义 vs. 深度痛感：系统理性通过情感消费主义将集体哀悼转化为可量化的情感消费，但忽视了其背后的深度痛感与存在焦虑。这种忽视将生命意义的追寻转化为商业化的表演，进一步剥夺了哀悼的真实性。[F6_11 🔍]
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
- 制度端的冷色调语言：系统理性通过商业化、算法化、情感消费主义等话语，展现了其冷漠的面孔。这种语言缺乏情感温度，将活生生的痛感转化为技术性的判断。[F6_11 🔍]
- 生活端的热色调语言：社区与个人的痛感通过非正式渠道（社区传言、社交媒体、口述历史）表达，形成了与制度端的话语温度差。这种温度差揭示了系统理性对情感真空的补偿性需求。[F6_11 🔍]
- 社会心理韧性诊断：系统理性通过技术逻辑完成了对帕顿文化遗产的接管，但忽视了情感韧性的建构。社区与个人的痛感成为社会心理韧性的裂痕，其修复需求超越了系统理性的技术操作范围。未来的社会心理韧性建构，需在系统理性与情感正义之间寻找平衡，通过参与式治理与情感修复机制重建社区的信任与尊严。
