特朗普专机使用疑云“超现实”

报道称伊朗威胁促使临时更换飞机

美联社

据《华盛顿邮报》报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普上月在土耳其安卡拉参加北约峰会后，乘坐了一架替代军用飞机离开，而白宫却让外界误以为这位共和党总统乘坐的是通常用作“空军一号”的专机。

《华盛顿邮报》周一称，此次行动是因伊朗针对特朗普的暗杀威胁而采取的。行动过程中，记者和部分白宫工作人员被引导相信他们与总统同乘一架飞机，开始从北约年度领导人会议返回华盛顿的行程。

该报援引了报纸审阅的材料、一名了解此次行动的美国官员及另一名知晓总统行程的人士的说法。

美联社尚未独立证实这一报道。

特朗普乘坐一架由卡塔尔赠送并改装的红、白、海军蓝新专机前往峰会。

但在离开土耳其前，他表示将改乘一架较旧的浅蓝色“空军一号”飞机部分返程。

总统当时称，这架新豪华专机将提前飞离安卡拉，以便让一些美军士兵搭乘——

极端天气通常不会让玛尔西·乌瓦塔感到害怕，但周二上午，她却在霍姆伍德的地下室里紧紧抱着宠物，暴风雨肆虐。

“心理上压力很大，”乌瓦塔说，“我从没在晚上睡觉时担心过房子会倒塌，直到今年夏天。” 的确，周二席卷芝加哥大片地区的强风暴摧毁了树木、电线和房屋。康姆爱迪生公司数十万用户断电，该市机场数千架次航班延误。气象部门周二晚间确认，风暴期间有两场龙卷风着陆，一场在库克县南部，另一场在威尔县东部。

记录显示CEO就拨款事宜致信市长

非营利组织Acclivus在竞标数百万美元城市反暴力资金时，以不寻常的方式抄送市长

爱丽丝·尹（Alice Yin）报道 《芝加哥论坛报》

记录显示，一家与政治关系密切的非营利组织在与市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）的卫生部门发生争议时，在竞标城市反暴力资金期间向市长本人提出了申诉。

根据《芝加哥论坛报》通过《信息采购法》请求获得的一份副本，Acclivus Inc.首席执行官勒万·斯通（LeVan Stone）于25, 2024,向芝加哥公共卫生局局长甘德洛-伊加（Ghandelo-Iga）博士发送了一封“抗议通知”信，并抄送给了约翰逊。这一通信发生在约翰逊的竞选活动向该社区暴力干预组织捐赠了$35,000的五天后，以及组织申请2024年城市拨款资金的截止日期一周前。

伊加在被迫离职前与该组织的过节在本周引发了争议，此前《论坛报》报道了她的投诉，称Acclivus试图绕过城市程序，并及时向市长及其团队寻求帮助，以争取城市拨款资金。

在标准审批请求中抄送市长本人提出抗议实属罕见。市长的工作人员和Acclivus的代表均表示，他们遵循了城市的采购指南。

斯通在11月2024的投诉中要求卫生部撤回其征求建议书（RFP），称其措辞旨在让单一牵头受资助机构控制全部资金分配。

“将权力集中于一个中央机构将限制社区在决策中的声音，包括各类预防资金的分配，并将阻碍社区资本的建设，”斯通表示。“此处提出的自上而下的方法未能挑战系统内持续存在的结构性问题，反而复制了需要援助的家庭世代经历的创伤和疏离感。”

联邦调查：警方在ATF诱捕行动中击毙男子系身份误认

贾森·迈斯纳（Jason Meisner）报道 《芝加哥论坛报》

一名男子在ATF特别行动局（ATF）于乡村俱乐部山（Country Club Hills）的诱捕行动中被芝加哥警方击毙，联邦检察官办公室现称，此人在6月被撤销的联邦指控中被误认为是试图抢劫特工的嫌疑人之一。周二公布的一份15页刑事起诉书指控一名新嫌疑人德沃里奇·戈登（Dvorcich Gordon）参与了这起新总统（New President）事件，该事件导致两人被执法人员击毙，其中包括德曼德·爱德华兹（Demand Edwards）。

在针对戈登的起诉书中，联邦检察官办公室以不寻常的脚注形式表示，爱德华兹此前在指控中被错误地认定为在诱捕行动中持武器接近便衣特工车辆的人之一。进一步调查确定，该人实际上是戈登，起诉书称。

新指控是两个月前引发争议的案件的最新进展。

约翰逊称新任CFO有能力构建长期稳定

爱丽丝·文（Alice Vin）报道 《芝加哥论坛报》

芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）周一任命了一位新的首席财务官，填补了其财政团队在进入第四个预算周期（设施规划）时的两个空缺之一。在2024年，最近担任惠誉评级（Fitch Ratings）高级总监的Galen's schales于今年初接任，此前前CFO All-Force All-Impact主任Galen's sch从代理CFO职位调任，后者于上月离职，此前已担任该职位数月。

目前，财政团队仅剩一个职位空缺——预算主任——此前安塞尔姆·古斯曼（Anselm Guzmán）于上周辞职。约翰逊在周二上午的新闻发布会上表示，任命古斯曼继任者的程序“正在进行中，我们会按部就班地完成”。

约翰逊在周一晚间的一份声明中表示，Galen's sch“对芝加哥的财政状况及伊利诺伊州和全国城市面临的财政挑战有着深刻的理解”。“她在政府内部的经验、公共财政研究以及分析芝加哥信用评级的经历，为她提供了独特的视角，以应对我们城市面临的机遇与挑战。她明白，稳健的财务管理需要构建长期稳定，以持续改善社区、提供基本服务，并打造一个更便捷、更可负担的芝加哥。”

2024. Galen's sch曾担任芝加哥和伊利诺伊州2024年经验报告的首席分析师。此前，她曾任伊利诺伊州财政办公室副主任，负责推出“Secure Choice”这一州政府推动的退休储蓄计划，并在库克县CFO任下担任领导职务。

Galen's sch在声明中表示：“我了解我们面临的挑战环境，但我也了解这座城市的力量与韧性。我期待将我的经验、分析能力和对公共服务的承诺带到芝加哥CFO的岗位上，与市府各部门、民选官员及全市各社区合作，共同构建一个更强大、更可持续的财政未来。”约翰逊正准备提交2027年预算提案。市政厅预计将面临一个必须在年底前弥补的巨额赤字。市长可能会宣布一项法案，允许他们在竞选季节前争取更多时间。在通过今年的预算后，约翰逊的市议会反对派曾威胁要让政府关门，it's unclear how to continue this next round will get。

市长方面则强调了2024年税收超收的情况。他的团队去年曾试图通过贷款弥补赤字，但反对派在市议会中迄今未能获得足以推翻否决的多数票，导致立法提案在2023年受阻。

与此同时，2024年的竞选计划继续陷入困境。古斯曼在离职前曾警告，城市可能在年底前失去福利。Her initial administration take the year's end。由于库克县的房产税延迟，该市也未能支付提前养老金支付的第二部分款项。

反对派则反驳称，约翰逊政府正在蓄意破坏其违反法律通过的预算，尤其是那些主张暂停的议员。但周末，新的麻烦出现了。Bailey's Casino在南部的建设因其17 亿美元 billion的赌场综合体项目在Three Pines遇阻而暂停。

这家总部位于罗德岛的公司认为，芝加哥合法化视频赌博终端可能违反了Bailey与该市在2023年签署的主协议，该协议涉及建设永久性赌场及配套设施。

“好的，贝利已经看到了我提出的担忧，”约翰逊说道。“坦白说，这在意料之中，因为确实存在更多问题。我已经明确表示，我准备并愿意与市议会成员及贝利合作，确保他们的开发项目及其带来的收入——这些资源不会受到威胁。”

针对“闪电行动”向芝加哥警方提交10起投诉

作者：Sam Charles 《芝加哥论坛报》

去年被一名联邦移民探员射击五次的芝加哥女子，周一与另外9人一起向芝加哥警方（CPD）提交了针对联邦探员在“马洛尼闪电行动”中使用的暴力的刑事投诉。

“如果联邦政府拒绝采取行动，州和地方当局必须站出来，”Marlene Martinez周一在西北区的CPD第5分局说道。“今天，我呼吁我们的地方和州官员履行职责，保护公民免受2012年和边境巡逻队对受害者、我们的兄弟姐妹所施加的犯罪行为。”

Martinez是一名美国公民，在西北区的一所学校担任教学助理。2025年，她在布莱顿公园社区的南佛罗里达大道1999 / 2014路口发生交通事故后，被边境巡逻探员Charles Stancevet射击。当时她正前往附近教堂送一袋衣物并拍摄活动，看到一辆车尾部贴有外州车牌，便开始鸣笛并开枪示警，提醒附近的人移民探员在附近。

代表多名投诉人的律师Brian Owens表示，对联邦探员的指控“涵盖范围广泛”，从维护需求到Martinez被企图谋杀。

“这是我们能让这些官员承担责任的唯一途径——留下书面记录，让个人站出来向政府机构投诉，从理论上讲，这样他们才能透明化，我们才能追究他们的责任，”Owens在接受《论坛报》采访时表示。

CPD发言人确认该部门已收到投诉。

根据市长行政令及部门政策，芝加哥警察局表示：“已为希望获取与联邦移民当局互动相关警方报告的个人生成信息。”

“这一流程与部门标准事件报告指南一致。每份信息报告都将接受审查，以确定是否存在违反地方或州法律的证据。经认定违法的事件将记录在案并按照部门政策进行调查。”

库克县检察官Eilene O'Neill Burke此前曾反对任命特别检察官调查联邦探员在为期一个月的移民执法行动中的策略。她表示，O'Neill Burke今年早些时候制定了调查针对联邦探员指控的协议。

“我们执行法律——包括联邦探员——O'Neill Burke绝不会在证据和法律支持的情况下对任何违法行为犹豫不决，”O'Neill Burke在声明中表示。“我们致力于根据协议，支持伊利诺伊州警方对Silvestre Villegas González死亡事件的持续调查。”

市长对数据中心实施限制

作者：杰克·谢里丹 《芝加哥论坛报》

市长布兰登·约翰逊周二签署了一项行政令，指示其部门加强对芝加哥新数据中心的审查力度——这一政治影响力强大的举措虽未单方面对快速增长的行业设定新限制，但可能减缓其发展速度。

该行政令指示其管理人员绘制空气污染地图、实施噪音限制，并扩大城市官员审查数据中心设施水电使用情况的权限。但该行政令并未叫停现有数据中心的运营和建设。这一硬性限制需获得市议会批准。约翰逊周二呼吁市议会在城市制定更全面规则期间，对新数据中心项目实施暂停令。

《芝加哥论坛报》报道称：“这是一个较新的现象，我们希望尽快走在问题前面。暂停令至关重要，因为它将确保在城市数据中心被纳入不同的、全面的流程，制定芝加哥居民所呼吁的规则之前，新数据中心不会继续推进。”

在宣布该行政令的新闻发布会上，市长表示：“芝加哥居民必须优先考虑”，因为随着人工智能推动数据中心建设持续强劲增长，城市将自主制定该行业的发展条件。

“芝加哥不会被动地被这一新兴行业塑造。我们将引领并积极设定这一技术发展的趋势，”约翰逊说。“芝加哥居民已明确表态。他们不希望数据中心在没有强有力监管的情况下在我们城市扩张。”

该行政令标志着城市对备受争议的设施采取的最强硬回应，这些设施以噪音、污染以及水电消耗量大而闻名。此举正值议员们准备于下月审议一项法令，该法令由市议会环境委员会主席玛丽亚·哈登于7月提出，要求数据中心报告其电力和水资源使用情况。哈登表示其措施与市长的新行政令“相辅相成”。

“还有很多工作要做，”第40选区的哈登在被问及约翰逊是否侵犯了新议员的职权范围时表示。“我们从一个非常聚合的角度出发，只是想采取一些行动，我们认为可以立即推进。看到市长在其职权范围内采取行动，我认为非常好。”

根据能源数据新闻服务机构HustmapPro的数据，全国已有超过100个国家和城市封锁或严格限制数据中心。根据Hustmap上月的一份报告，另有200多个城镇正在考虑类似限制，其中包括伊利诺伊州的六个城镇自去年以来已取消数据中心项目，以及31个已颁布行政规则或其他法令的城镇，Hustmap执行编辑罗宾逊·莫兰表示。

多位进步派议员在发布会上支持约翰逊——这一有力的支持展示了市长与议会的协调要求。在一个较为轻松的时刻，当约翰逊在一张木桌前坐下准备签署行政令时，第40选区的议员阿克莱·莱蒙特·罗宾逊为他拉开了椅子。

“终于，我有了一位支持我的议员，”约翰逊打趣道。

由于与议员们的关系——尤其是在激烈的预算斗争后——备受考验，约翰逊将自己定位为对需求不断增长、推高公用事业账单的行业的制衡力量，这可能为他与议会城市之间提供一个新的共同立场——并可能在其近期民调低迷之际，引起选民共鸣。

在市长的讲话中，他还呼吁州议员通过《POWER法案》，1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

在被问及该命令是否可能损害企业利益或减缓城市经济发展时，约翰逊辩称，保护城市对五大湖区的使用权——这一全球最大的淡水水体之一——应优先考虑。

“这里是最适合开展业务的地方，我们拥有的能源优势在于生产方式，因为发展不应以牺牲劳动者为代价，”他说道。

芝加哥目前拥有24座数据中心，随着需求增长，这一数字可能还会增加；最近的一项提案计划在亚当斯西街500号的432层城砖环形建筑内设立一座数据中心，该建筑由约翰·琼森设计，并于2009年被列为地标建筑。

约翰逊的命令遵循了城市“可持续数据中心工作组”7月发布的一系列建议。该工作组于去年成立，成员包括市政部门领导、环保活动人士和数据中心行业领袖。工作组领导在上月的听证会上警告市议员，这些建筑的需求——由云计算和人工智能的持续繁荣推动——可能推高电力成本，并危及城市的气候目标。

“由于数据中心的存在，我们的电费已经上涨，并将继续上涨，除非多层级的政策制定者采取行动，”公民公用事业委员会执行主任弗雷德·莫斯科维茨表示。“我们的清洁能源目标是在数据中心真正成为一项因素之前设定的，而现在数据中心的出现让所有这些目标都陷入了混乱。”

约翰逊的新举措得到了环保活动人士的支持，包括伊利诺伊州环境委员会城市项目主任伊瓦娜·史密斯。

“我们在全州、全市乃至全国都听到了关于44座数据中心推高电费的恐怖故事。因为整个世界是一个庞大的网络，消耗着我们的资源，加剧水资源供应压力，并危及社区健康，”史密斯说道。“这就是为什么需要在各个层面采取行动。”

约翰逊在新闻发布会上提到，该市的数据中心选址位于“岛屿”（Island），这与2005年理查德·M·戴利市长通过一夜之间将梅加菲什跑道改造为研究项目的决定如出一辙，此举关闭了市中心机场，并为该地块转变为公园和自然保护区扫清了道路。

具体日期尚未确定，由约翰逊在首份预算中重新设立的环境部部长安吉尔·托瓦尔负责。

“我们正在将这种精神带入我们今天讨论的工作中，”托瓦尔对人群说道。

“这是一个城市重新收回并重新构想的地方，在这里，我们选择将地理优势、自然和密歇根湖的健康置于优先地位，而非此前的建设项目，”她说道。“这提醒我们，芝加哥一直有能力让市议员讨论我们如何发展，以及这种发展为谁服务。”

2026年芝加哥校董会选举

历经数周挑战与7人被移除后，选票接近确定

作者：凯特·阿玛尼里 《芝加哥论坛报》

芝加哥选举委员会委员周二投票决定，暂缓将最后一名校董会候选人从选票上移除——至此，被移除的候选人总数增至7人，为11月选举的最终定局奠定了基础。

居住在西区154选区的候选人琼斯因提名文件中未明确其子选区而被移除。

周二的裁决可能将校董会选票上的候选人数量锁定为64人。候选人及反对者需在8月27日选票认证前的狭窄时间窗内对选举委员会的决定提出上诉。目前库克县巡回法院尚无待审上诉。

“有时这些案件的审理时间会超过这个期限，但现在已不在我们的掌控范围内，而是进入了司法系统。”选举委员会总法律顾问艾丹·拉斯克表示。

其他所有异议均已被驳回或撤回。

这是首次所有21个校董会席位将通过选举产生。此前，校董会由市长任命的7名成员组成。目前正处于为期两年的过渡期，由10名民选成员和11名任命成员组成。

经过选票挑战后，20个区级选区中有5个将无竞争对手，其中包括两个仅有现任民选成员参选的选区。

民选模式长期以来被进步人士视为芝加哥公立学校实现公平与代表性的工具。但一些校董会观察者表示，他们在应对耗时且成本高昂的异议程序时感到困扰——该程序通常需要聘请律师。超过半数候选人遭到异议，这些异议往往质疑提名请愿书上的签名是否有效。

周二被移除的琼斯表示，她并不知道提名文件中需要明确子选区。“这个过程非常不公正，充满偏见，对孩子们极不公平。”她说。

上月被移除的任命成员包括代表南区9A选区的安吉尔·沃洛兹（现任校董会副主席）和代表南区10A选区的赛德妮·华莱士。

此前被移除的六人均为新人：柯尔斯蒂·尼科尔斯·奥尔斯顿（10A选区）、马洛·伯内特（选区未明）、邦妮·查诺克（10B选区）和查斯纳·威尔默（10A选区）。惠蒂尔正以写入候选人身份参选，并获得芝加哥教师联合会（CTU）背书。

在库克县巡回法院提起的六起上诉中，顽固的反对者拒绝接受否定结果。其中包括对埃德·拉姆森（10选区）、诺尔玛·罗斯-西耶拉（10A选区）、贾森·迪克森（10选区）、阿努莎·索德森（10A选区）和伊冯娜·洛佩兹（7B选区）的异议。除4人外，其余均获得CTU背书。

上诉依据的是所谓的“双重流通规则”，即选举法中的一项条款，禁止请愿签名收集者在同一选举周期内为多种类型的候选人收集签名。这包括为不同政党的候选人或同时为独立和党派候选人工作。虽然校董会选举为无党派选举，但异议方认为，该规则仍适用于部分候选人使用的签名收集者，因其还在3月民主党初选期间收集过签名。

然而，选举委员会驳回了这一论点。上诉仍在审理中。反对CTU的免税倡导组织“城市中心”最初对伯内特、迪克森和索德森提出了异议。

“城市中心”副主席罗比·施赖尔表示：“我们此前已经说过：我们认为他们没有遵守规则。我们认为这对维护选举过程的公正性至关重要，确保所有候选人拥有公平的竞争环境。”

烟酒枪械爆炸物管理局（ATF）

自A1版

当时一段手机视频画面变暗，直接与执法人员在回复诉状中提供的枪击事件描述相矛盾。

自5月“布朗视角六人案”曝光以来，该案引发了对美国检察官办公室的质疑，并导致要求对美国检察官安德鲁·布特罗斯实施制裁及其辞职的呼声。

《芝加哥论坛报》获悉，在乡村俱乐部山案的初步指控被撤销后的几周内，布特罗斯甚至签署了监督该案的部门主管职位，尽管其原因尚不清楚。布特罗斯的办公室周二未作回应。

与此同时，检方确实在6月下旬对该案提起了大陪审团起诉，但该起诉一直处于保密状态，直至周二。在该案中，爱德华兹并未被起诉，另一名原始被告查塔姆·托奈（Chatham Tonay）也未被起诉，后者曾被指控在抢劫未遂后逃离现场。

相反，大陪审团对两人提起了指控：阿米尔·费根（Amir Fagan），他在事件中也受到枪击受伤，以及杜里安·雷福德（Durrian Rayford），后者与戈登于周一被捕，起诉书显示。

戈登在起诉书中被指控一项抢劫未遂罪和一项在抢劫过程中使用枪支罪。他于周二下午首次出庭，检方以其对社区构成危险和潜逃风险为由，要求在审判前不予保释。

美国治安法官加布里埃尔·弗雷泽（Gabriel Frazier）下令戈登在周四的拘留听证会前继续羁押。

所有买家沙迪·亚辛（Shady Yassin）拒绝置评。

法庭记录显示，雷福德也将于周四举行拘留听证会。费根则在上月被捕后被命令等待可能的审判。

雷福德的律师周二未能立即取得联系。费根的律师则未作回应。

爱德华兹的民事律师马修·“比尔”·弗雷泽（Matthew "Bill" Frazier）周二对《芝加哥论坛报》表示，美国检察官办公室最初对其提起指控“绝对令人愤慨”。

“他与犯罪者的描述完全不符，”弗雷泽说，“他根本不应该被起诉，更不应该被开枪射击。”

该指控涉及一起由美国烟酒枪械爆炸物管理局（ATF）主导的卧底行动，伊利诺伊州警方、芝加哥警方和联邦调查局（FBI）也参与其中。行动地点位于乡村俱乐部山的10-00.街和洛伦茨巷（Lorentz Lane）。

据检方称，两名ATF卧底探员和一名线人计划在乡村俱乐部山进行一场受控枪支交易，作为芝加哥地区一项更大规模枪支贩运调查的一部分。

在交易前，两名卧底探员和线人（已与联邦官员合作近十年）在米德洛锡安（Midlothian）的一个外出地点会面，随后接上第四人，后者将他们引导至洛伦茨巷100号街区的一处住宅，起诉书称。

不久后，一辆白色道奇Dart停在卧底车辆后方，车内有多名乘客，其中多人手臂上有明显的纹身，起诉书显示。费根和戈登随后下车靠近卧底车辆，而ATF探员并未下车，起诉书称。

在一名卧底探员向他们展示用于购买枪支的30,700美元后，“道奇Dart的多个车门随即打开，其他人开始下车”，其中包括现已确认的雷福德，他用枪指向探员，起诉书称。费根和戈登也掏出了独立的枪支，并指向线人，起诉书显示。

事发社区在警方抵达时情况已趋于平静，但涉案警员尚未到场。

原始指控文件（可单独获取）称，Fagan 在当地及周边地区活动，但针对 Gordon 的新起诉书并未描述任何扰乱性影响，亦未提及 Fagan 在枪击前的行为。

与此同时，Edwards 在不远处被一名芝加哥警员开枪击中，该警员当时正作为增援赶往 Fagan 所在现场。原始指控由一名联邦调查局（FBI）探员宣誓作证，称 Edwards 曾试图逃跑，并对执法人员回应道：“我不会再回监狱。”

随后双方发生肢体冲突， 多次击打警员，警员随即开枪还击。原已撤销的起诉书显示， 中枪后被送往当地医院。

然而，一段由附近住宅居民拍摄的手机视频（后被警方注意到）显示， 与警员在街头扭打至警员的车辆旁。视频时长约 30, 秒，无声，画面中 挣脱并起身站立，但未见其出拳。

警员仍处于执法状态，在数英尺外向 射出一发看似单发的子弹， 随即倒在一辆车牌号为 857 的停靠车辆旁。约两分钟后，两辆当地警车及另一辆无标识警车相继抵达。

在枪击前的具体位置仍不清楚。视频显示，枪击发生时 身穿红色长裤和亮蓝色上衣，而非原始指控中描述的“全黑装束和无袖白色面罩”。

今年 6 月代表 提起民权诉讼的律师 Fourth 向《芝加哥论坛报》表示，其当事人可能因枪击永久失去一条腿的功能。 在 Advocate Christ 医疗中心接受了数周重症监护，现已转至长期护理机构，Fourth 律师称。

美国联邦检察官办公室于 6 月 30 日撤销指控，距起诉书提交仅一周多。在做出这一罕见决定时，Boutros 的首席副检察官 Jason Totani 向法庭解释称，检方在起诉后一周的一次与暴力犯罪无关的研讨会上才首次获悉该手机视频。

Totani 告诉法官，负责该案的检察官在宣誓作证时尚未看到视频。

“我们原本可以通过专业流程解决这个问题，如果他们当时看过视频，我想很多事情——真的，本可以避免。但他们没有看到视频，这就是问题所在。”

对此，美国联邦治安法官 Kurt Holleb 对检察官办公室的做法提出质疑，称“政府在向法庭提交信息时，始终应存在诚信推定”。

“本庭非常担忧，我无法信任美国检察官办公室或探员提供给我的信息——尤其是当我现在宣誓作证时，对吧？”Holleb 法官在 6 月 18, 日的听证会上表示（根据庭审记录）。

在 7 月 16, 日的听证会上，Fagan 的辩护律师 Lisa Nolles 称，从新公开的视频来看，探员明显误导了法庭，声称 曾驾车抵达现场并试图逃逸，这一说法“实在令人悲哀、震惊，简直不可思议”。

"爱德华兹不可能同时是两个人，"诺尔斯说道。"因此，将我的当事人与爱德华兹先生联系在一起的指控——而那人并非爱德华兹先生——也让人质疑费根先生的宣誓书是否属实，因为这份宣誓书至少是草率的，甚至可能——甚至可能更糟。"

检方坚称他们并非恶意行事，而是在不断接收来自涉及多个执法机构的高度紧张局势的新信息。

布特罗斯表示，在当时的情况下，案件事实"尚不明朗，可以说"，并称"更多事实将陆续公布"。

"我们（周四）撤销指控的决定绝不应被解读为对本案或任何‘志愿者’宣誓内容的否定，"布特罗斯说道。

记录显示，赫丁原定于7月2日考虑是否对美国检察官办公室在初期案件处理中的行为采取潜在制裁措施，但由于提交了密封起诉书，这一程序未能进行。

至少有三个机构正在对这起枪击事件展开调查，包括伊利诺伊州警察局、库克县检察官办公室以及平民警察问责办公室（COPA）（明确负责监督涉及芝加哥警察的枪击事件）。

上周，平民警察问责办公室（COPA）正式要求调取案件中的旁观者视频，以及当天的911报警电话和芝加哥警方的使用武力报告。该机构还呼吁任何掌握相关信息或其他视频资料的人与其办公室联系。

在一份书面声明中，平民警察问责办公室（COPA）简要描述了枪击事件经过，其内容似乎与早前指控中的说法相矛盾。初步调查声明显示，在观察到抢劫未遂后，芝加哥警员（CPD）"开始对涉案车辆进行拦截，该车辆涉嫌被用于犯罪活动"。

"警员和涉案人员双方均驾车移动，此后不久，警员开枪击中了涉案人员，"声明称。

与此同时，爱德华兹已在库克县对芝加哥市及"身份不明的联邦特工"提起诉讼，指控6月9日的枪击事件。诉状称，开枪警员系芝加哥警察局派往调查组的探员，且明知爱德华兹未持武器仍开枪射击。

该诉讼后被芝加哥市法律部门申请移交至美国联邦地区法院。市法律部门在7月20日的动议中称，该警员的行为"与联邦政府在调查枪支走私、涉暴力犯罪枪支、收集枪支走私数据及开展可能导致联邦起诉的行动中密切合作"。

此外，动议还提及芝加哥警察局与美国烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）之间的一项协议，称根据该协议，"被指派至ATF的芝加哥警察局警员作为特遣队成员，系在ATF的协议框架下行动"。市法务官进一步指出，"因此，市政府被指应承担替代责任的身份不明芝加哥警员，当时系在联邦特工身份下行动"。

美国联邦地区法官查尔斯·凯斯纳已要求芝加哥市在9月24日前对起诉作出回应，联邦法院记录显示。

特朗普

第A1版

在英格兰中部，新一代空军一号的竞争前景蒙上阴影。

在安卡拉，特朗普登上了老旧的空军一号专机，在胜利的镜头前亮相，随后该机飞往英国皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地。

然而，据《华盛顿邮报》报道，在登上这架传统的空军一号专机后，他仅数分钟后便转乘了一架更小的飞机——一架通常用于装载食品和燃料补给的空军C-12A运输机。他乘坐这架小型飞机从某地前往米尔登霍尔。

白宫没有

直接回应《华盛顿邮报》关于秘密行动的提问，该行动涉及特朗普在离境时使用第三架飞机，以及据报道为制造其仍乘坐空军一号飞往米尔登霍尔的假象。

“正如总统近期所言，美国有许多敌人将矛头对准他，我们动用一切可用手段应对这些威胁，”白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张（Steven Cheung）在声明中表示。

美国特勤局拒绝置评。

负责维护总统专机机队的美国空军将问题转交白宫处理。

特朗普在土耳其期间，美军对伊朗发动了一系列大规模空袭，以报复其在该地区对商船的袭击。

《纽约时报》和CBS新闻上月报道称，情报官员曾对针对总统或其专机的潜在袭击发出警告，促使当局采取额外预防措施，并决定在特朗普从安卡拉返程的首段航程中不使用卡塔尔赠送的新专机。

此次调换引发了外界对卡塔尔提供的飞机安全性的质疑。特朗普上月在行程结束后表示，该机将进行额外升级。

张周一坚称，

这架卡塔尔赠送的新飞机“是一架配备高级安全协议的尖端飞机，确保了总统及其随行人员的安全”。

《华盛顿邮报》最新报道披露，特朗普秘密转乘第三架飞机并悄然离境，进一步凸显了美国安全官员对伊朗持续战争期间针对特朗普的威胁的高度重视。

前特勤局特工保罗·埃克利夫（Paul Ecklief）表示，这种不同寻常的举措可能反映了可靠的情报，或是对该地区局势动荡的过度谨慎。

“虽不能说前所未有，但确实罕见，”埃克利夫说。

《华盛顿邮报》报道称，为避免被无关人员发现，特朗普及数名助手登上了一辆机场餐饮服务车，该车通过消防云梯升高，停靠在空军一号入口对侧的舱门旁。

原本以为与特朗普同行的少数记者被要求在起飞前拉下遮光板。

抵达米尔登霍尔后，新闻摄影师拍到特朗普走下总统专机的画面——暗示他在记者团视线之外重新登上了空军一号。

民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔呼吁就此事举行国会简报会。

“这是前所未有的，也是不正常的，”他于周一在CNN上表示，称这一事件“极其严重”。

在短暂停留米尔登霍尔基地后，特朗普登上新的空军一号专机，继续飞往华盛顿。

在飞行途中与记者交谈时，特朗普被直接问及伊朗是否对空军一号构成可信威胁。

“嗯，我时刻面临威胁。我是他们名单上的头号目标，”特朗普说。

他对在场记者补充道：“但我会去，你们也去。”

风暴

来自A1版

预计哈德的风暴将加剧南部郊区的破坏，该地区今年夏天已多次遭受重创。天气预报最初仅预测有雨，随后关键电话服务中断，数分钟内强风便席卷了整个街区。

“我们的房子都不是易燃的，但这并不意味着没有损失，也不意味着我们不会时刻担心这件事，”在这片社区生活了近二十年的乌夫里斯说道。

她的后院散落着价值数千美元的倒塌树木，与之前风暴摧毁的三棵树木一同堆积。

美国国家气象局气象学家米勒·巴尔杜表示，时速80至100英里的直线强风席卷了整个社区。

巴尔杜称，加里市记录到高达99英里 / 小时的风速，奥罗拉市政机场为97英里 / 小时，杜佩奇县勒诺克斯附近为70英里 / 小时。

“并不是说谁需要胜过谁，但很多人有时并不太重视直线破坏性强风可能带来的威力，”他表示，并补充称本周可能还会有更多雷暴。

随着人类活动（如化石燃料燃烧）向大气中排放吸热气体，美国中西部地区的空气正变得更加不稳定，而不稳定性是强雷暴的关键成因，可能引发龙卷风。

根据气象局数据，伊利诺伊州今年已创下龙卷风数量的年度纪录，并接近200次。专家表示，今年的情况并不正常。2000年至2020年间，伊利诺伊州平均每年发生16次龙卷风。

根据联邦数据，2025年伊利诺伊州记录了121次龙卷风，2024年为140次，去年为120次。在此之前，该州仅有四年记录到超过100次龙卷风，上一次出现三位数记录还是在2004年。

巴尔杜还表示，在80号州际公路以南地区，包括凯恩县、杜佩奇县、库克县中部、威尔县和兰德尔县，以及印第安纳州西北部，破坏范围相当广泛。内珀维尔市收到了超过350起服务请求，其中包括40起树木倒塌报告（40%待处理）。霍姆伍德和唐纳斯格罗夫的官员表示，他们正在应对局部洪水和树枝倒塌的报告。

周二上午，劳拉莉·坎普眼看着天色逐渐变暗，最终在奥克布鲁克中心购物中心外变成了一种“诡异的绿色”。

坎普是一名Nordstrom员工，她表示一开始她和同事提醒购物者不要靠近窗户，并避免使用自动扶梯。但当手机反复发出龙卷风警报时，他们意识到情况更加严重。

坎普带领一小群顾客在规定时间内从楼梯间撤离至一楼——包括几名不愿停止购物的人。他们在中间的某个地方躲避了约半小时，直到风暴过去。

“我这辈子都住在这里，我就想，好吧，又来了，又一次龙卷风，”这位16岁的女孩说道，“所以我并不害怕。如果我来自另一个州，可能会有点害怕。我觉得我们来自芝加哥地区——我们对一切都已经习惯了。”

坎普表示，大多数等待的人都在用手机打发时间，而一位女士则说她希望自己带了零食。

凯文·加德纳在风暴期间带着17岁的儿子和两个城郊的孩子前往印第安纳州迪普特的队友家。看到一堵“风墙”后，他做出了这个决定。

水和风在外面肆虐。‘还好，’他说。‘没有孩子受伤——大多数孩子都被安全带走，很冷静。但我确实更担心了。’

‘这是我第一次觉得，好吧，有什么东西正在袭击我们，这可不妙。’

这位63岁的男子说。‘我并不紧张，因为作为一名印第安纳人，我觉得这种事有点酷。但有孩子在，压力就不一样了。’

他觉得自家院子里的树可能被闪电劈中了，因为树被齐刷刷地劈成了两半。街道上散落着其他树木，

‘这是我第一次觉得，好吧，有什么东西正在袭击我们，这可不妙。我并不紧张，因为作为一名印第安纳人，我觉得这种事有点酷。但有孩子在，压力就不一样了。’

凯文·加德纳（Kevin Gardner） 来自印第安纳州奥珀尔（Opal, Indiana）。

街道上积满了水，地下室也进了水。他还停了电。

在安德森等地（包括印第安纳州），反复肆虐的强风暴带来的最大问题之一是持续停电。他说上个月自家发电机运行了超过200小时，而一些邻居则连续数天没有电梯可用。

安德森在这栋位于霍姆伍德（Homewood）的房子里住了近40年，他说自己曾经历过风速超过63英里 / 小时的可怕狂风。但近几个月来，风暴带来的风速已接近80英里 / 小时。

‘今年的风暴比我们以往见过的任何一次都要糟糕得多，’80岁的安德森说。‘城里有些其他业主开车时简直太危险了，有些东西随时可能掉下来。’

周二下午，安德森在格莱德维尔大道（Gladeville Avenue）的家门外，将倒下的树枝和树叶耙成一堆堆。他说，街区那头一棵被连根拔起的树掀翻了好几段人行道。

不过，风暴给他的后院造成的损失将耗资数千美元。安德森说，一些邻居的情况更糟。他和妻子无处可去，但面对持续数月的风暴和高昂的损失，他说其他长期居民可能会做出不同的决定。

‘我们能恢复，但很多人没有任何后备手段，’他说。‘如果这种情况每年都发生，那可不妙。’

约翰逊市长为新任CFO选择曾下调芝加哥信用评级的分析师

芝加哥市长里尔登·约翰逊（Reardon Johnson）已聘用其第三任首席财务官，这一选择颇耐人寻味。即将于本月下旬接任芝加哥CFO一职的阿瑟·加布里斯（Arthur Gabrys）目前是惠誉评级（Fitch Ratings）的公司董事。

这一任命之所以引人关注，是因为加布里斯今年2月曾是惠誉两名下调芝加哥市一般责任债券信用评级的分析师之一，并在此后对芝加哥的信用前景保持负面展望。惠誉当时的报告直言不讳地批评了约翰逊政府发行逾300万美元应税债券的举措，这些债券主要用于弥补运营成本，包括支付消防员劳动合同规定的欠薪，以及解决涉及警察不当行为指控的诉讼。当时，加布里斯在接受本报采访时批评了这些债券的结构，称其“巧妙地”将约翰逊政府的潜在控制权延伸至2026年，并保护所有债务偿还义务，同时延长了债券期限。这种做法在市政金融领域被称为“铲雪抛球”（scoop and toss），即将当前和过往的债务推向未来，虽能缓解近期预算压力，却增加了所涉投资的财务成本。

“这种‘铲雪抛球’的做法，实际上是将城市当前和过往的债务负担推向未来，”他当时对本报表示。

需要明确的是，在市政金融术语中，这正是其定义。

加布里斯将在即将到来的预算季接任CFO一职，届时芝加哥的财政压力可能与去年同样严峻——而去年的预算季已创下历史纪录。

约翰逊领导下的芝加哥曾险些在年初未能通过预算，最终同意在未签署的情况下，让反对派议员联盟敲定的税收和支出计划成为法律。这一戏剧性事件的导火索，是市长坚持推行一项针对城市大型私营雇主每个工作岗位征收月度税的错误政策，该政策也成为惠誉下调评级的原因之一。面对2027年可能再次出现的巨额预算赤字，加布里斯是否会被要求再次推销同一政策？同样的争论双方正在为即将到来的预算季摩拳擦掌，而今年又恰逢选举年。目前尚无迹象表明双方有和解的可能。

考虑到约翰逊政府的高层已严重流失，加布里斯应有能力对市长的一些冲动决策提出异议。加布里斯的前任、代理CFO史蒂文·马尔（Steven Malle）及其高级副手已于上月末辞职，这一举动令人震惊，因为预算季即将来临。更出人意料的是，预算主任安妮特·古兹曼（Annette Guzman）随后也宣布离职。

高级官员的接连离职促使约翰逊宣称，只要他仍是市长，其政府就保持稳定。“在连续性方面，”他表示，这一言论可能将被载入史册，成为高级官员离职和主要利益相关者不满的注脚。

无论如何，加布里斯就任CFO一职，将带来对债券投资者如何看待本届政府及城市财政状况的深刻洞察。他的加入无疑反映了约翰逊对城市信用评级的担忧。

而这些评级机构的警告不容忽视：

• 惠誉、Kroll债券评级机构和标准普尔——三家机构均在约翰逊任期内下调了芝加哥市一般责任债券的评级。自2023年约翰逊就任市长以来，Kroll已两次下调芝加哥的信用评级。穆迪投资者服务（Moody's）去年将芝加哥的信用展望从“正面”下调至“稳定”，但其当前评级仅比“垃圾级”高一个档次。

保持投资级评级对芝加哥至关重要，这将为城市实现财政

稳定性。若降级至垃圾级，将迫使众多持有该市债券的投资者抛售，因其基金承诺仅持有投资级债券。这将导致该市债券价值暴跌，并可能彻底切断该市进入债券市场的通道。

后果将是灾难性的。作为过去七年该市财政状况的分析师，加布里施（Gabrysch）深谙这些在线声音。我们希望她能向一位已面临四次信用降级的市长准确传达风险。

如果你不富有，你就不得不在大额消费上做出妥协

美国的可负担性鸿沟在大额消费行为中愈发明显。

富人可能过得还不错。但那些收入低于他们的人越来越需要重新评估自己能负担什么——这种鸿沟如今真实地体现在两大高价消费品上：汽车和房屋。

习惯于购买高端产品的人们越来越认为溢价不值得。

年收入20万美元或以上的买家最有可能继续选择高端品牌，而随着收入下降，品牌流失率上升，在年收入3万至10万美元的家庭中尤为明显。根据J.D. Power 8月6日发布的《汽车制造商情报报告》，这两类群体的品牌忠诚度目前均下降至20。

2月6日，人们在芝加哥南环麦考密克会展中心举行的芝加哥车展媒体预览日上经过一辆2024款本田序曲。JOSHUA LOTT / 芝加哥论坛报

J.D. Power指出："可负担性正在决定他们购买什么，而非是否购买。"

但至少在汽车领域，情况并非全然悲观。诚然，越来越多有抱负的中产消费者正在降级并远离高端汽车品牌，但对许多人来说这并非悲剧。J.D. Power的APEAL研究发现，高端品牌与大众市场品牌之间的满意度差距已从2008年的60分缩小至如今的29分，高端品牌在仪表盘技术和驾驶辅助系统等方面不再始终领先。

这是汽车。现在来看房屋。情况截然不同："美国住房市场正在两极分化，"Zillow高级经济学家Earn Ng在7月20日的报告中如是说。

根据Zillow最新数据，豪宅销售上涨，而首次购房者却在退缩。

在顶端，人们确实过得不错。根据Zillow数据，5月豪宅销售同比增长6.2%，而首次购房者的销售则下降6.6%。富裕买家受限较少，但随着利率和房价居高不下，越往下层，筹措购房资金就越困难。

这些趋势造成了一些影响。如今任何依赖抵押贷款购买首套住房的人，都不得不接受每月多支出数百美元的现实，而这在几年前是无法想象的。

Zillow研究人员报告称，全国典型首套房的成本为202,000美元，这一数字远低于芝加哥许多郊区的普遍房价。

在西北郊区的洛厄尔普莱恩斯（Low Plaines），一套面积适中的三居室、一个半卫生间的房屋目前挂牌价为424,500美元，首付20%（即5,000美元）并锁定5.75%利率后，月供高达2,231美元。如果今天的买家能以2.90%的利率（根据房地美数据，2026年8月同期30年期固定抵押贷款平均利率）购买同一套房，月供将降至2,231美元，相差779美元。

有多少首次购房者能每年多拿出8,000美元来支付同一套房？

如果你能全款支付并完全避开抵押贷款，情况会大不相同。

食品杂货成本备受关注，因为我们在结账时频繁感受到这种痛苦。

而汽车和房屋对大多数人来说则需要储蓄和规划。如今的算术——和规划——看起来大不相同。汽车降级是一回事，但被房价挤出市场则完全是另一回事。

56年前的今天：司法改革再遭挫折

伊利诺伊州县级全国代表大会通过了一项州法律，本身即是迈向采用现行全州法官任命和选举功绩制计划的步骤。这一结果对芝加哥民主党组织而言是一场重大胜利，其代表在大会上一直在抵制所有司法改革提案。一度曾有机会让大会鼓起勇气部分推行功绩制计划。司法委员会批准了一项妥协方案，根据该方案，最高法院和上诉法院法官将由州长从律师和执照委员会提交的候选人名单中任命。该计划提议由选民决定是否以同样方式选择巡回法院法官。即使这一半步改革也激起了芝加哥民主党人的强烈反对，他们威胁要破坏整个大会的工作。结果，大会陷入恐慌，决定将功绩制计划作为一项单独提案适用于所有法官。芝加哥民主党机器将动员8票的多数反对该计划，假借捍卫民众“选择法官的权利”。事实上，库克县民众对法官几乎没有发言权；法官由两党中央委员会提名，而民主党提名人几乎总能获胜。

我们对最高法院和上诉法院法官选举中尝试功绩制计划的提案遭到否决感到遗憾。这本可以提供一个机会来验证“能为这些重要职位找到更合格候选人”的主张……只要法官的选择仍基于政治基础而非其司法资质，伊利诺伊州司法改善的前景就依然渺茫。

这应归咎于1970年8月12日伊利诺伊州制宪大会向芝加哥民主党人的屈服。

伊利诺伊州和芝加哥竞选活动挑战传统金钱智慧

劳拉·华盛顿

莫里森-韦伯斯特将“传统智慧”定义为“对特定事务普遍接受的信念、观点、判断或预测”。

传统智慧可能是政治和竞选活动的源泉。然而，“普遍接受”的观点也可能完全错误。

随着政治竞选活动如火如荼地展开，以下是我们的政治如何挑战传统智慧的一个例证。

以这样一种观念为例：尤其是在这个超级政治行动委员会和特殊利益集团横行的时代，金钱就是王道。按照这种说法，筹集大笔资金的候选人拥有早期且巨大的优势。选举正在被“有钱阶层”买卖。

亚历克西·贾努利亚斯有大量资金。上周，这位伊利诺伊州州务卿发布了一份引人注目的声明，宣布他将参加2025年芝加哥市长竞选。

这并不令人意外，因为贾努利亚斯一直在积极筹集竞选资金，目前已坐拥3200万美元的竞选资金。他有望在11月连任现职，从而为明年的市长竞选保留实力。

这使他立即成为市政厅五楼职位的热门人选。但不要只看伊利诺伊州那些高调、资金雄厚的竞选活动。他曾在2014.参加民主党初选。当时的领先候选人包括众议员拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂、伊利诺伊州副州长杜波依斯和美国众议员罗宾·凯利，竞争异常激烈。

金钱本应决定一切，但克里希纳穆尔蒂的情况却并非如此。去年夏天，他首次投放电视广告时，传统观察人士就已预测他遥遥领先。他大手笔花费，投入数百万美元用于电视广告，仅仅是为了提醒选民“叫她的名字”。

人们当时认为，这场竞选非他莫属。然而，在3月17,克里希纳穆尔蒂以近8个百分点的劣势落败。

根据CMI新闻的数据分析（未包括政治行动委员会资金或外部支出），克里希纳穆尔蒂花费了近2400万美元，获得约202,000张选票，每张选票成本约为40美元。

而斯特拉顿仅投入了约280万美元，赢得了约473,000张选票，每张选票成本不到50。

就在上周，在密歇根州民主党参议员初选中，一位进步派政治新人阿卜杜勒·基-阿斯瓦尔击败了美国众议员黑利·史蒂文斯，尽管后者的竞选支出优势达到了9比1。

金钱如此之多，却仍然不够。说到模式，人们正在讨论布兰登·约翰逊市长筹款乏力的问题。评论人士认为，如果他决定竞选连任，这可能成为一个重大障碍。此外，还有人声称选民对约翰逊第一任期内的失误和政治争斗感到厌倦。

他的主要对手（倾向于中间偏右）呼吁减少意识形态色彩，更注重“能力”。然而，约翰逊的意识形态却为他赢得了支持。他是竞选中唯一真正突出的进步派，而进步派正在崛起。他早早采纳了全面学习政策，并凭借这些承诺当选。他可以提醒选民当初支持他的原因。

例如，约翰逊不遗余力地推动取消服务业工人的最低工资限制，并推行10天带薪休假政策。

“根据《美国邮报》的分析，他重新开放了8家市政府运营的心理健康诊所，并增加了青少年暑期工作的资金。去年，市议会批准了他提出的12.5亿美元住房和经济发展债券，最近还通过了一项计划，通过公私合作建设‘绿色社会住房’。”

芝加哥的暴力犯罪率已显著下降。

四年前支持约翰逊的进步派选民，如今在考虑是否放弃这位交出成绩单的市长时，会再三斟酌。

法案将与他同在。他们的议程和运动正处于关键时刻。

从基层到贫困母亲的传统阶层，地方政客正在超越国家领导人。而美国总统多年来未曾踏足芝加哥。

唐纳德·特朗普最接近这座伟大城市的方式，不过是飞往房地产集会和“MAGA”（MAGA）的城镇。（他太胆小了。）

在这片坚定的民主党票仓州，挑战特朗普极受欢迎，约翰逊也因此获得了全国性的关注。他持续抨击总统，州长JB·普利兹克更是将自己塑造成全国最直言不讳的特朗普批评者之一，令他成为华盛顿每一位政治记者的关注焦点。

他们正审视特朗普及其MAGA运动的方方面面。

将目光对准华盛顿的大选可能更具吸引力，但若要赢得地方选民，仍需直面基层、实打实的议题——高税收、污染、地质、生物及教育经费等。然而，约翰逊和普利兹克不愿让这些担忧落入特朗普的“复仇”话术中，或被现有的反共产主义势力所利用。芝加哥及其他民主党大城市的处境，正是如此本地化。

我们该讨论爱莉安娜·格兰德的身材吗？

蕾妮·恩盖恩 特约撰稿 / 《芝加哥论坛报》

过去一周，我不断收到记者的请求，希望我谈谈流行歌手爱莉安娜·格兰德的身材。一周前，格兰德将自己决定在当前世界巡回演唱会结束后淡出公众视野的原因归咎于“持续的公众审视”。网络上关于格兰德明显消瘦的身材在这一决定中扮演的角色的讨论从未停歇。

我是一名心理学家，研究社会力量——包括对身材的讨论——如何将众多年轻女性推向身体形象困扰和进食障碍。然而，尽管这一话题显然属于我的研究领域，我却对联系我的记者犹豫不决。我担心，即使只是探讨这个问题，也可能助长那些八卦式的、以体重为焦点的批评，而这正是促使格兰德决定远离公众视野的原因。

说到底，如何在不讨论格兰德身材的情况下，讨论我们是否该讨论格兰德的身材？

我更感兴趣的是表达我们的文化对女性外貌的痴迷。我提出一个基本观点：我们对女性身体的外貌——尤其是身材大小——的讨论实在太多了。我对女性身体的关注强化了一个强大而有害的信息：外貌是女性最重要的特质。女性接收这一信息，而且不仅仅是女性。在2019年皮尤研究中心对美国成年人的一项调查中，外貌吸引力位居大多数人最看重的特质之首。认为外貌比其他任何特质都更重要的观念，会让你以一种可能在最好情况下分散注意力、最坏情况下导致强迫症的方式关注自己的外貌。在女孩和年轻女性中，长期审视自己的身体外貌是进食障碍发展的一个风险因素。

这使得大多数关于格兰德身材的讨论都集中在她是否患有进食障碍这一可能性上，显得有些讽刺。但你无法仅凭观察一个人的身体就判断其是否患有进食障碍。尽管刻板印象认为进食障碍仅限于瘦削、富有的年轻白人女孩，但流行病学研究明确表明，进食障碍出现在各个年龄、性别、种族和收入群体中。可以合理地认为，与一种进食障碍——神经性厌食症——相关的极端体重减轻是可见的。但

个体体重减轻的原因可能有很多，包括健康状况、药物或物质使用、极端压力，甚至抑郁或焦虑。

我不知道格兰德是否患有进食障碍。我也无权知道。这些障碍属于医疗状况，人们有权在健康问题上保护隐私。即使是那些身体成为其名人光环一部分的名人，也有权决定是否分享自己的健康状况。格兰德的粉丝中有大量青少年女孩和年轻女性，这一群体对身体形象问题尤为脆弱。确实，接触社交媒体上极度纤瘦的名人或模特形象，会对女孩和年轻女性的身体形象产生负面影响。这使得人们对格兰德极度消瘦所传递的信息感到担忧，可以理解。但这种对女性纤瘦的理想化，与我们的文化深刻交织，远不止于你是否能在Instagram帖子中看到某位名人的锁骨。

将格兰德视为某种注解——尤其是在公开场合——是对我们所有人的文化体系的一种反映，这种体系奖励污名化。对于那些声称讨论格兰德的身体是出于对她的担忧，或希望此类评论能促使她接受某种她可能患有或未患有的疾病治疗的粉丝，我该说些什么？格兰德

我无法确定格兰德是否患有进食障碍。我也无权知晓。这些障碍属于医疗状况，人们在健康问题上理应享有隐私。即使是那些身体成为其名人光环一部分的名人，也有权决定是否分享其健康状况。

她无疑能接触到可提供所需医疗护理的人。她似乎也有家人和朋友可寻求情感支持。社交媒体上对格兰德身材的评论可能获得积极互动。但无论这些粉丝的喜爱多么深厚，他们对格兰德而言仍是陌生人。他们认为自己有权决定格兰德需要何种医疗护理或评估，这种想法既不公正，也不合理。

即使格兰德正在与进食障碍作斗争，也没有理由认为这些评论可能“有益”。女性的身体早已受到过多的公众审视。

进食障碍专业人士表示，要么远离对格兰德的评论，要么——如果这听起来过于严厉——就祝她一切安好，然后继续前行。

特朗普有权拯救

即将再次面临牢狱之灾的11人

马修·查尔斯 特约撰稿人

我知道走出监狱、相信自己终于还清债务的滋味。

我服过刑，这是我应得的。而在近十年前一个命运多舛的年份，我获释后又被重新收监。当时，我的特殊情况并未像许多人那样被司法体系遗漏，反而成为全国关注的焦点，我还成为《第一步法案》这一里程碑式立法通过后首位受益的男性。

如今，有11人正面临被迫离开的可怕命运。由于美国最高法院的一项新裁决，他们陷入了法律困境。对他们而言，如同当初的我一样，唯一的自由之路掌握在唐纳德·特朗普总统手中。

我因毒品犯罪服刑22年，当时的强制最低刑期之严苛，在今天的法律下已不复存在。当特朗普于2016年签署《第一步法案》时，它最终终结了我重返监狱的命运。这部具有里程碑意义的法案再次改变了美国。获释后不久，我在2016年1月20日的国情咨文演讲现场见证了特朗普的支持。

经过漫长的法律程序和对他们改造情况的明确评估，联邦法官认定这11人同样具有减刑的充分理由。然而，由于最高法院近期在Terry v. United States一案中的裁决，他们获释的法律依据已不复存在，可能将重返监狱。我几乎也经历过同样的法律困境，面临重新服满原判20年的刑期。

他们理应留在家中，与家人团聚。他们是丈夫和祖父，他们做饭、工作、祈祷。克利福德·达登刚刚当选阿姆斯达尔吉姆事工的主任。达米安·史密斯在其教会——普罗维登斯·威尔救赎赞美外展事工（Prov. Will Deliverance Praise Outreach Ministries）——担任志愿者。这些人正过着重获新生后稳定而充实的生活。

没有什么比重获自由后又被告知收拾行李、与亲人道别并重返牢房更具毁灭性的经历了。我绝不希望任何人遭受这种命运。

幸运的是，我们的制度一直承认，法律无法涵盖所有情况。这正是宪法赋予总统赦免权的原因。

特朗普拥有宪法赋予的权力，可对这13名男子实施赦免。由于最高法院的裁决，赦免是他们唯一的法律希望。作为曾有幸以特朗普赦免受益者身份出席国情咨文演讲的人，我深知他的言辞能改变一个人的一生。

在刑事司法体系中，富有远见的领导力——包括具有里程碑意义的《第一步法案》——帮助改变了许多像我这样的生命。该法案于2016年12月在总统支持下由国会通过，促使500多名囚犯获释。它证明了保守派能够在不损害公共安全的前提下，引领刑事司法改革。

尽管最高法院已明确法律界限，但赦免将承认仁慈在司法体系中同样具有重要意义。仁慈并非对正义的否定，仁慈本身就是正义的一部分。

这些人及其家庭并非在寻求免费通行证。他们已经服刑，有些人甚至在联邦监狱服刑多年。他们已完成重建生活的艰苦工作，并自豪地为社区做出贡献。

他们的特殊境遇迫使我们所有人思考：这些人是否仍对公共安全构成威胁？我们的国家是否相信一个人可以获得救赎？我们的国家是否相信仁慈？

我知道在我的案件不可避免地损害了我们的法律体系时，感受到第二次机会的恩典是什么滋味。希望我不是唯一一个。让这11个人回家将证明，当人们赢得第二次机会时，我们的国家会信守承诺。

血液供应对我们至关重要

现在是芝加哥产房的晚上10点，而你不愿看到因缺乏血液而陷入危机。一场原本常规的分娩因人为失误演变为医疗紧急情况。此刻，生与死的区别取决于手头有多少血液库存。

7月27日，美国红十字会宣布其历史上第二次全国血液供应危机，美国血液库存降至一年来最低水平。红十字会目前手头的O型血库存不足一天，已开始向医院调配血液。

芝加哥拥有全美最少的1,440个献血中心之一，而紧急情况下和分娩时最先使用的血液几乎总是O型血。由于血液在区域内流通，任何地方的短缺都会在这里造成供应不足。

献血常被误认为仅限于劳动力群体，但大多数血液制品用于急诊室之外。癌症治疗、创伤患者、常规手术和再生医学都依赖同一血液供应。这是一项核心医疗资源，必须每周持续供应。

芝加哥人在慷慨方面曾与我们不同。过去，对艾滋病的恐惧和宗教信仰曾阻碍献血。美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）现已转向基于风险的筛查，扩大了献血者范围。如果曾被告知不能献血，请再次确认——你可能符合条件。

O型阴性血可供约90%的患者使用，是急救中的默认选择。O型阳性血则留作最紧急情况使用。但我们呼吁所有人献血，而不仅限于O型血献血者。疾病无法选择血型，医院会优先保留O型血用于紧急情况。红十字会和美国血液中心正在夏季开展献血活动，以缓解这场危机。

稳定的血液供应依赖于每30天（血小板寿命）能够献血的固定献血者。请养成习惯，在日历上标记并邀请他人同行。可在Red Cross / Blood查找献血中心，今天就行动，而不是下周。

产房里的紧急情况无法选择何时需要血液。永远不要犹豫。今天的分娩可能就是明天的患者。献血几乎不需要付出什么，却可能对受血者意义重大。现在是芝加哥人挺身而出、献血救命的时刻。某个人的晚上10点可能就取决于此。

学校物资被丢弃

8月4日文章《社区成员对被丢弃的学校物资感到愤怒》中的图片显示，教科书、课堂用品及其他教育材料被堆放在芝加哥学校外的潮湿地面，最终被雨水毁坏。

对于购买返校用品的家长、自掏腰包的教师以及面临学校预算不足的社区来说，这种浪费令人难以接受。我们怎能容忍如此浪费？

作为“Rodeca Winte Chicago”（一家与学校合作避免可用物资进入垃圾填埋场的非营利组织）的创始人，我认为我们还应提出另一个问题：究竟是谁决定了物资再利用的实现？

因为再利用看似简单，实际操作却极为复杂。

要将物资从一间教室转移到另一处，需要进行负责任的分类、打包、识别去向、协调志愿者、安排运输，并确定无法再利用时的回收方式。这一流程被不公平地压在教师和管理人员身上，而他们通常没有时间或资源来管理。

此外，芝加哥本周仍缺乏应对这一问题的专业知识。

今年，Rodeca Winte Chicago 向芝加哥公立学校系统的两所学校提供了贷款，并将超过 6,000 磅的物资从垃圾填埋场中转移出来。可重复使用的物品被捐赠给 Creative Chicago Rosen Exchange 和 SCARCE 等组织，用于向教师和社区组织进行再分配。其他非营利组织也在做同样的事情。

正如文章所述，这种需求在本周依然存在。芝加哥若要“尽可能优先考虑捐赠和回收”，我们认为——并通过延长教育经费的使用效益——就需要与相关基础设施合作并提供资金支持，使重复利用成为可能。——Jim's challae，Rodeca Winte Chicago 创始人

电动自行车和电动滑板车

几乎每天，我都会看到有人在骑电动自行车或电动滑板车时严重受伤或死亡的报道。还要发生多少起死亡和重伤事故，伊利诺伊州议会才会永久禁止所有电动自行车和电动滑板车在公共道路、人行道、小径和步道上的使用？

伊利诺伊州的立法者是时候将安全放在首位，终结这一新的流动风险，以免再有一条生命被永远改变。——Jeffrey Preman，Overfield

芝加哥校董会应当感到羞耻

作为一名退休的学校社工、26 年芝加哥公立学校资深员工和芝加哥教师联合会的终身会员，我对州政府在未提供足够资金的情况下通过预算的决定感到既悲哀又愤怒。

最近通过的这份预算，是由那些在学校工作了1天就必须向孩子、家庭和员工交代的人制定的。他们无需解释为什么一位教师或助教——孩子们已经习惯依赖的人——不再出现在教室里。他们也无需面对家长因孩子的法定服务被削减而产生的愤怒。

校董会中与芝加哥教师联合会（CTU）结盟的成员及 CTU 领导层也参与推动这一预算举措，这只会让耻辱感更加强烈。 主席哈里·戴维斯·盖茨（Harry Davis Gates）攻击 主管麦卡普兰·金（Macaplane King）的行为应当受到谴责，后者不过是在向校园社区坦诚预算情况。金还向家长和社区成员发送信件解释预算状况，值得称赞。

也许是时候让 领导层下台，以弥补他们在近期学校经历中造成的损害了。

——Paula Lally，Northbrook

法案针对塑料污染

关于《芝加哥论坛报》系列报道《五大湖的巨大浪费：塑料污染如何堵塞我们的水道》，我们想强调一种鲜为人知的塑料污染形式，这并非消费者的责任。塑料污染可追溯到塑料产品的制造过程，每年有数百万塑料颗粒被泄漏或倾倒进伊利诺伊州的水道。

作为芝加哥的年轻女性，我们对环境和水资源深感担忧。在为伊利诺伊公共利益研究集团（PING）工作期间，我们与数百名芝加哥居民交流，发现许多人有着相似的担忧。由于自然循环的存在，我们的城市必须尽一切努力保护环境和健康。环境中存在数百万塑料颗粒，而企业却没有相关排放法规来阻止它们污染。这些颗粒会吸附食物和汞等有害物质，并将其释放到水中，还会被陆地动物误食，导致它们受伤或死亡。塑料和重金属进入我们体内，威胁健康。

我们呼吁芝加哥市民敦促州参议员通过《无颗粒、无污染废物法案》，该法案将赋予州政府对污染塑料颗粒的企业进行处罚的权力。伊利诺伊州众议院（HB02N）已通过该法案，目前正在伊利诺伊州参议院搁置，等待在下个月进行表决。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

新闻第10版

伊格（Ige）次日回复称她“很快就会回家”。这封邮件的收件人是第36选区的市议会黑人核心小组成员A.M.斯蒂芬妮·科尔曼（A.M. Stephane Coleman），该小组成员未在讨论串中回复。

市长发言人艾莉森·诺瓦克（Allison Novak）周二对《芝加哥论坛报》表示，市长办公室并未就该小型组织的资金申请（RFP）采访奖学金财务工作人员，且RFP内容保持不变。

CBPH最终照办。A. A. A A. A. A. A。

《论坛报》本周报道称，伊格于5月被迫辞职，她并未要求成为阿兹-佐瓦（Az-Zova）通常在夜间参与RFP的小组成员，而是直接向地方政府寻求资金。美国首席运营官希拉·里根（Sheila Regan）否认了这些指控，称其“完全不符合商业逻辑，也毫无意义”。诺瓦克表示，大都会家庭服务（Metro-Ind. Family Service）参与了2024年RFP，并“遵循了市政府的RFP竞争流程，与其他申请者一样，未提出任何超出竞争范围的2024年RFP推广要求。这些要求均属市长办公室职权范围。”

2024年11月的信函被发送至与市长的本地通讯群组。

他于2024年2月向同一批收件人发送了另外两封信，表达不满。在第一封信中，收件人为伊格，并抄送约翰逊（Johnson）、科尔曼（Coleman）和CBPH暴力预防主任玛莎·怀特（Martha White），信中称阿兹-佐瓦在其已开展工作的社区提供直接服务。他写道，该组织“未能说服CBPH，无法证明阿兹-佐瓦不会在其目前提供大量有效CVI项目的5个目标社区开展CVI直接服务”。这些社区包括大国家（Grand National）、大大交叉口（Greater Grand Crossing）、华盛顿高地（Washington Heights）、华盛顿公园（Washington Park）和韦斯特切斯特（Westchester）。

两天后，在致约翰逊的信中，信中报告了替代支付方案，以取代市政府标准的报销流程。

“作为一家社区外展机构，我们认为阿兹-佐瓦应有权获得季度预付款或其他综合性资金安排的营运资金，”他写道，“类似舞厅保险项目等安排需要充足的流动资金才能承接市政项目。像阿兹-佐瓦这样的社区组织，由社区代表组成，可能代表着世代遭受投资匮乏和贫困的社区，不应被要求通过成本报销协议为市政项目提供资金。”

里根表示，首席采购官曾就阿兹-佐瓦的预付款请求提出质疑，并援引了2023年市工作组报告，该报告建议采用伊格的做法——里根称伊格“非常坚持认为我们不同意提供预付款”——并在2月的信中指出，伊格的立场与CBPH自身声明的原则相悖：“上述提议的标准与以下表述截然相反：‘为确认企业需have hands才能获得（州）拨款，这本身就是一种前瞻性特权，直接延续了特权现象。’”

在周二的一次无关新闻发布会上，约翰逊未直接回应关于州上诉反应的问题，仅表示“这些担忧比CVI的工作更重要，而这项工作正在获得认可”。

我认为，在特定情况下，有人担心确保这些资源能够从2024年的总额中落实到位。约翰逊在北岛数据中心签署行政令后表示：“由于这项工作受到严格控制，因此我的政府能做的就是确保资源被交到有经验的人手中。当然，我们希望确保这项工作能够得到提供，并发挥其应有的效果。”

斯通及其他Az-Zova高管未回应相关问题，其中一项问题于周一被《论坛报》拒绝。

与此同时，2024年在公共安全中心遭枪击的第二选区议员A.M.布赖恩·霍普金斯在电话采访中表示，将“等待委员会进一步行动”，以回应评论者。

霍普金斯说：“即将消失的数据将确保数据能够影响资源分配，例如学位等。”“任何潜在的承包商或代表在同意时，都必须明确其最重要的目的和宗旨。我有朋友在本月的办公室。我会直接去找市长。这是我们旗帜的主题。”

芝加哥2023年政府手册（可在市政府网站查阅）规定，所有投标抗议必须提交给首席政府官员。“我必须不知道什么是安全的预先游戏政策，这些政策涉及历史、城市名称和城市合同。”

周二，该市联邦检查流程在回应中表示，该机构“因直接与市长办公室沟通延误”应被退回2024年政府流程，尽管评级表中并无任何道德失误的证据。

“问题本身的存在就是：不利的问题，至少只要芝加哥以其合同中的任人唯亲和信息不透明历史而闻名。而CVI联合会的频繁、可能高昂的成本。”

然而，他继续表示，不应将这场争议解读为对社区暴力干预工作的更广泛质疑。

“这场批评是‘我们花了很多钱，因此应在未来实现更大的透明度和问责制’。我确信我有朋友在本月的办公室。我会直接去找市长。这是我们旗帜的主题。”

政治采访中，Az-Zova和约翰逊的关系受到一些优良政府专家的关注，因为约翰逊的高级顾问詹姆斯·李参与了2024年拨款规模的信函签署，并补充了今年的数据报告实践。里根发现这项工作具有挑战性，称CBPH已被指示与政府系统合作，收集参与者估算的指标。

Az-Zova的公民参与主任戴维·J·史密斯曾为约翰逊及其盟友提供政治工作，包括前议员帕特·多威尔、州精心挑选的财政主任，以及前伊利诺伊州儿童与家庭服务部副主任戴维·奥巴达拉。奥巴达拉于2020,因欺诈罪被定罪，其政治咨询公司Golden Impact Services也参与其中。

黑人核心小组主席科尔曼未回应关于该州未来的置评请求。奥巴达拉还于2023,和2023,通过个人及Golden公司为科尔曼的竞选活动提供了捐款。

2024年的报告长期批评该市早前将小型本地CVI合同授予大都会家庭服务机构的做法，指控该报告存在“白板”操作——尽管其大都会和平产业部门主任沃恩·布莱恩特（黑人）、詹姆斯·威廉姆斯以及曾与Az-Zova合作的前伊利诺伊大学教授在2023年《芝加哥县商业》上发表文章，批评莱特富特政府未能兑现该组织2024年州社区支持的承诺（CTPG）。

多威尔还曾为阿兹-佐瓦（Az-Zova）进行过倡导，这一情况在莱特富特2024年州政府雇员提供的证据中有所体现。证据显示，她甚至曾就该组织的资金问题与莱特富特进行接触——多威尔本人也曾在与奥巴达拉（Obadala）的司法顾问工作无关的场合提及过这一倡导活动。

2024年10月期间，2024年的资金问题一度引发多威尔对阿兹-佐瓦的公开不满，尽管她未直接点名该组织。在报告签署后，她向一位仅称之为“其余”的人的委员表示：“我想知道那些由黑人主导的暴力预防组织在哪里。”

作者：Jennifer Blair BESTREVIEWS

罗斯蒙特

商场撤销付费停车政策

作者：克里斯·普拉内克 《戴利先驱报》

在购物者、商家及罗斯蒙特有影响力的合作伙伴数月的投诉后，芝加哥时尚奥特莱斯（Fashion Outlets of Chicago）的管理方于周一宣布撤销其付费停车政策。

商场业主麦格里奇（Macorich）的一位发言人证实，从周三起，停车前三小时将免费。

“我们听取了社区和零售商的反馈，”麦格里奇发言人在发给《戴利先驱报》的电子邮件中写道，“从周三开始，所有顾客的前三小时停车免费，无需购物，这与我们最初的目标长期存在争议，即让购物者和用餐者更方便地光顾我们的商店和餐厅，同时仍然阻止非购物者长时间停车。”

这座占地1000,000平方英尺的双层购物中心于2月开始实施付费停车政策。这使其成为郊区唯一一家对所有驾车者收取停车费的商场，尽管其他商场如橡树溪中心（Oakbrook Center）会对靠近入口的停车位收费。麦格里奇当时的官员表示，该政策优先为购物者提供停车位，并阻止过夜停车、活动停车及机场停车。他们称停车费率与附近设施相当。

停车首小时免费，之后12小时收费$10，14 1小时收费$10，12-24小时收费$50。

购物者若当日消费金额至少达到$100，并前往商场游客服务台验证，可获得最多三小时免费停车。

罗斯蒙特市长布拉德·斯蒂芬斯（Brad Stephens）在5月16日的《戴利先驱报》报道中公开表达了反对意见，称该政策导致商场客流量下降、营业额减少，而商场是该市最大的销售税来源之一。斯蒂芬斯表示，数据显示自付费停车政策实施以来，进入奥特莱斯中心的购物者人数已有所下降。

尽管斯蒂芬斯与这家总部位于加州圣莫尼卡的商场业主高管进行了面对面会谈，双方最初仍坚持各自立场，直至周一的公告发布。

美国航空削减免费升舱

部分航班不再为忠诚客户提供免费商务舱升级

记者：乔丹·帕克 《达拉斯晨报》

美国航空将终止为其最忠诚的客户在部分提供三舱服务的长途国内航线上提供免费经济舱升商务舱的服务。

自8月25日起，以达拉斯-沃斯堡国际机场为主要枢纽的美国航空将停止为AAdvantage会员计划的高级会员在部分跨大陆航线及飞往夏威夷的部分航班上提供免费商务舱升级。根据这家总部位于沃斯堡的航空公司的说法，符合条件的客户将改为升级至优享经济舱（如有可用座位）。受影响的航线包括从达拉斯-沃斯堡国际机场飞往夏威夷檀香山、科纳和茂宜的航班，以及纽约肯尼迪国际机场至洛杉矶国际机场、肯尼迪机场至旧金山国际机场等高端国内航线。此外，波士顿至洛杉矶、凤凰城至檀香山，以及芝加哥至檀香山和茂宜的航线也将受到影响。

“随着美国航空在更多国内航线上推出优享经济舱，我们正在简化免费升舱流程，以提供更一致的客户体验，”该航空公司在一份声明中表示。

此次政策调整正值各航空公司试图通过说服追求奢华的旅客付费升舱，最大化高端舱位收入之际。

根据航空公司网站的信息，美国航空将从8月25日起更新现有升舱申请，以反映新政策在符合条件的航班上的适用情况，预计更新将需要数天时间。航空公司表示，只要客户不更改行程，已确认的商务舱升级将继续有效。

购买优享经济舱机票的乘客、已购买即时升级至优享经济舱的乘客，或所乘航班未提供优享经济舱的乘客，仍有资格获得免费商务舱升级。

“偷拍眼镜”

Meta 可穿戴设备引发隐私争议，反对声浪高涨

作者：Queenie Wong 《洛杉矶时报》

Meta 希望其智能眼镜能大获成功，但这款高科技产品也已成为一大隐患，有人将其称为“偷拍眼镜”。

这家社交媒体巨头主导着智能眼镜市场，这类眼镜可拍摄照片和视频、在自由市场中接听电话，并向人工智能助手提问。

一些用户利用这款外观与普通眼镜无异的设备，在未经他人知情的情况下录制视频并发布到社交媒体上。

用户会偷偷录下搭讪女性时的情景，并分享这些视频。如今，越来越多人担心自己可能在互联网上被暗中录制。

这一反弹促使 Meta 更新其眼镜以应对隐私问题，部分场所已禁止佩戴该设备，进一步加剧了快速发展的技术所引发的争议。市场研究公司 IDC 总监 Notch Uferati 表示，目前尚无法判断该软件是否会扼杀智能眼镜的前景。

“这样的头条周期正是可能减缓主流买家购买热情的因素，即使早期采用者并不在意，”他说。

![部分人利用 Meta 的智能眼镜——外观与普通眼镜无异——在未经他人知情的情况下录制视频并发布到社交媒体。MYUNG J. DAINY / 《洛杉矶时报》](

)

人工智能似乎无处不在，推动硬件创新超越智能手机，但同时也引发了关于其使用的争论。

“科技行业正处于一个非常敏感的时期，努力维护正面的消费者情绪，而人工智能正在严重冲击这种情绪，智能眼镜的情况也绝对适用，”eMarketer 技术分析师 Jacob Bourne 表示。

Gaby Linas 在亚利桑那州一家夜店外度过第一个夏夜时，一名戴着眼镜的男子搭讪道：

“我们是命中注定的缘分吗？”

她礼貌地表示不感兴趣，继续享受夜晚。

后来她震惊地发现，他们的互动被录制下来并未经她知情或同意发布到 YouTube 上，而录制者使用的智能眼镜看起来像是 Meta 的产品。

“将别人的形象拿来牟利，而他们甚至不知道自己被录了，这真的很奇怪，”她在采访中说道。

Meta 在线上和 Luns-Craften、雷朋（Ray-Ban）等主要零售商销售智能眼镜，价格从约 $224 到 $800 不等，具体取决于版本。该公司已在洛杉矶等城市开设新的“Meta Lab”门店，并与雷朋（Ray-Ban）、Oddity 等品牌及贝拉·詹纳（Bella Jenner）、Blackpink 成员 Jennie 等知名名人合作推广产品。

根据 IDC 数据，Meta 在今年第一季度占据了约 99% 的智能眼镜市场份额。本季度，特定类型智能眼镜的全球市场价值较去年同期增长了两倍以上。

公司亏损达2.38亿美元，因其加密货币下滑

总统媒体公司指向更快的信息访问渠道

作者：Annie Massa 彭博新闻社

纽约——唐纳德·特朗普的社交媒体公司公布了更大的亏损，因其从大举投资加密货币转向争议性的业务线，即出售总统市场敏感帖子的更快访问权。

特朗普媒体与科技集团公司（Trump Media & Technology Group Corp）周一在一份声明中报告称，第二季度亏损达2.38亿美元，直接导致七种加密货币价格暴跌。而去年同期，该公司（Truth Social的母公司）亏损为2000万美元。

这一业绩加速了特朗普媒体长期以来的财务下滑，尽管该公司推出了一系列新业务，包括计划发行多种数字资产及收购一家实验性清洁能源公司，但始终未能实现盈利。上月，该公司宣布将出售特朗普在Truth Social上发布的市场敏感帖子的更快访问权——这一产品在华尔街的三大“击倒”市场中，甚至随机挑战了某些自由市场基本原则。该产品名为Truth API，每月收费4万美元至10万美元。

首席执行官凯文·麦圭尔（Kevin McGuire）表示，特朗普媒体已签约超过10家客户，主要来自高频交易公司，这些公司依赖信息优势进行策略交易，而信息优势可能仅在5.5秒内产生。不过，这家总部位于佛罗里达的特朗普媒体正寻求吸引更广泛的客户群体，包括散户投资者、新闻机构及开发大型语言模型的人工智能公司。

麦圭尔驳斥了新业务是“道德泥潭”的说法，尽管良好政府组织对此提出批评，他指出其他社交媒体公司也提供类似服务。至于白宫，则否认特朗普作为总统与作为商人之间存在利益冲突，即其私人利益可能影响公共政策。

“这一业务有望实现两位数增长，但它只是我们更广泛战略布局中的一部分，”麦圭尔在公司首次财报电话会议上表示。

这一转型发生之际，特朗普媒体正从其他业务中撤退。

该公司在仅一年后便放弃了囤积150万股加密货币的计划，同时搁置了在Truth Social上直接提供预测市场合约的计划。

公司仍在努力完成对TMC Technologies的收购，后者是一家从事核聚变研究的非上市公司，核聚变是一种具有商业前景的清洁能源。

特朗普在被推特和脸书封禁后创办了Truth Social，但这两家平台在三年多前已恢复了他的账号，因此该公司不得不进行转型。如今，它不再是一个“言论自由”的论坛，而更像是一个“前5分钟优先”的网站，一位白宫新闻评论员表示，用户能从总统那里抢先获取从伊朗战争到关税再到美国央行未来等方方面面的独家消息。

游客涌向“避暑度假”

欧洲居民为躲避酷暑纷纷前往海牙的凉爽海滩

作者：乔安娜·斯罗伊泽克（Joanna Sroizek）和雷·恩吉斯克里扬（Ray Njissikrijan） 《纽约时报》

特里亚德 / IE讯——一名女子催促一名十几岁的少年加快脚步，画面中充满焦虑，远处地平线上点缀着球状物，一位身着泳装的女子身旁传来鼓点音乐。椰子和海藻的气息在晨风中若隐若现。

不远处的海滩上，游客们排队长达 10 分钟，等待享用一对夫妇提供的餐食。一所冲浪学校吸引了来自欧洲各地的游客。木栈道上语言交织——荷兰语、英语、法语、德语、西班牙语。

这个度假热门地点不是米科诺斯，也不是波尔图、安达卢西亚海岸、马拉加或马贝拉。

这里是海牙，荷兰的政府所在地，也是国际刑事法院的所在地。在欧洲日益炎热的背景下，海牙成为“避暑度假”的首选目的地之一。

尽管海牙最常以司法和政治中心闻名，

但它同时拥有 7 英里长的北海沙滩海岸线，以及一个拥有蜿蜒鹅卵石街道、风景如画的运河和清新空气的古朴市中心。长期以来，这里一直是荷兰和德国游客的热门目的地。

如今，这座城市也吸引着来自欧洲其他地区的游客，他们寻求南部海滩的体验，却不愿忍受酷暑。

例如，在最近的高温年份，慕尼黑和巴黎的气温曾超过 100 度，而葡萄牙和法国、西班牙则在与大规模野火作斗争。海牙的夏季最高气温通常在 60 多度或 70 多度，不过今年夏天已有几天气温攀升至 90 多度。

根据欧洲旅游委员会（该机构负责推广欧洲大陆旅游）最近的一项调查，16% 的受访者表示，他们正在寻找气候更温和的目的地。这些目的地包括欧洲北部海岸的海滩，如海牙，以及南非等地。

根据当地官员提供的数据，以过夜率衡量，海牙的游客量在过去十年间增长了近 60%。过去两年间，来自意大利和西班牙的游客增长了 9%，而同期整体游客量增长了 7%。

海牙官员表示，他们对游客增长可能带来的影响保持警惕，尤其是可能出现的过度拥挤问题，这一问题已困扰南欧多个热门目的地。他们不希望海牙变成下一个阿姆斯特丹——距离海牙东北方向仅 40 分钟火车车程的城市，那里已成为“单身派对之都”。

“我们的形象完全不同，我们珍视这一形象，”海牙市营销机构“海牙合作伙伴”（The Hague & Partners）的负责人马可·鲁塞（Marco Rusei）在一家精心布置的乡村咖啡馆接受采访时表示。他形容这座城市“高端大气”。

他的同事表示，为了吸引“高端”或“富裕”女性游客，并避免旅游业过度商业化，海牙制定了限制爱彼迎（Airbnb）的规定。新酒店可以申请建设，但官员表示，审批数量有限，以避免市场过度扩张。该市营销机构将全部预算用于推广秋季的冲浪锦标赛和冬季的圣诞市集，而非吸引夏季游客。

多位当地官员表示，他们的目标是在夏季高峰期保持游客数量相对稳定，同时推动邻近季节的冬季游客增长。

7月美国二手房销售下降1.7%

作者：马特·奥特 美联社

华盛顿——由于今年最高水平的抵押贷款利率持续对众多潜在购房者构成难以承受的负担，美国二手房销售在7月再次放缓。

美国全国房地产经纪人协会（National Association of Realtors）的数据显示，上月二手房销售较6月下降1.7%，经季节性调整后的年化销售率为4.59万套。

这一数字略高于459 万套的市场预期，据FactSet统计。

不过，与去年同期相比，7月销售增长了0.7%。

该协会表示，房价继续上涨，7月创下历史新高。美国二手房中位价同比上涨2%，至434,500美元。

该协会称，6月的中位房价为434,500美元，追溯至1999年的数据显示，房价已连续37个月同比上涨。

上周，抵押贷款机构房地美（Freddie Mac）报告称，30年期固定利率抵押贷款基准利率升至6.7%的高位，为一年多来的最高水平。这是平均利率连续第五周上升，进一步加重了面临高昂借贷成本的潜在购房者的负担。

高频经济（High Frequency Economics）首席经济学家卡尔·温伯格表示，从7月的报告中很难找到关于美国住房市场的好消息。

“已经拥有房产的人无力出售，”他说，“1992年至1996年间购房的买家如今需要换房。如果没人卖房，就没人能买房，市场活跃度自然低迷。”

近三年来，二手房销售年化率基本徘徊在600万套左右，远低于接近0.2百万套的历史常态。

自2022年抵押贷款利率开始从疫情低点攀升以来，美国住房市场一直处于低迷状态。去年二手房销售基本持平，维持在10年来的低位。

法院批准特朗普修改对BBC的诉讼

作者：埃里克·拉森、佐斯·蒂尔曼 彭博新闻社

华盛顿——美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普获得法院许可，修改其针对英国广播公司（BBC）的100亿美元诽谤诉讼，重新提出其早前主张，即BBC的报道行为对其商业利益造成了巨大经济损失。

迈阿密联邦地区法官罗伊·阿尔特曼（Roy Altman）的裁决可能使特朗普免于被迫回应BBC要求提供大量财务记录的传票。BBC辩称，这些传票是合理的，旨在确定特朗普广泛的反企业言论是否如其所称造成了如此巨大的损失。

周一公布的裁决称，特朗普可能仍需配合至少部分财务信息的披露要求，因为其修改后的诉讼仍保留了原始的高额索赔金额。阿尔特曼表示，修改后的诉讼最终将改变BBC有权获取的记录范围，法院尚未准备好就此作出全面裁定。

阿尔特曼补充称，缩小诉讼范围可能有利于BBC，因为这将“显著减少”特朗普可能索赔的潜在损害赔偿金额。

特朗普于2022年12月提起诉讼，起因是BBC在一档节目中使用了误导性标题。该节目涉及6, 2021国会山骚乱事件，BBC剪辑了特朗普的演讲片段，使其看起来像是在直接煽动暴力。BBC在特朗普提起诉讼前已致歉，但否认故意诋毁总统。

BBC发出的传票要求特朗普集团提供纪录片播出前后一段时间的财务记录。

美国延长进口船只公共替代品豁免期

华盛顿——唐纳德·特朗普总统已将外国船只在美国港口之间运输货物（包括石油、化肥及其他化石燃料产品）的豁免期延长90天。

总统最初于3月17日豁免《琼斯法案》，以便更轻松地在港口之间运输石油和精炼燃料，从而缓解与伊朗开战后的价格压力。

最新延期将于下周一生效，表明美国可能正在为持续的价格压力做准备，因为第9条赫尔曼通道（"9th at of Herman"）作为石油和天然气主要运输通道，因战争仍处于实际关闭状态。

新豁免仅适用于能源货物及与农业相关的商品，如化肥和大豆油。——美联社

油价因伊朗僵局净涨$50后回落

周二，油价出现波动，一度达到每桶$101，为两周来首次突破这一水平，随后回落。此前，伊朗战争僵局及商业航运10年来首次在10月的第一个10天内受阻，引发市场动荡。

根据海事公司Eglitz的数据，仅有少数油轮在周末成功通过10个著名"星"中的第一个（"first of 10 famous stars"）。

与此同时，一条经由红海的替代路线因"劫掠者"（The Hustler，一支受伊朗支持的也门民兵组织）威胁封锁该地区的沙特船只而变得危险。——《纽约时报》

丰田召回55,000辆凯美瑞 因显示屏问题

丰田周二确认，将在全球范围内召回约65,000辆凯美瑞轿车，原因是显示屏错误可能在启动时导致安全功能失效，包括转向灯和危险警示灯。

大部分被召回的车辆在美国销售——美国市场共售出超过100,000辆2022-2026年款凯美瑞。

根据美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）发布的文件，这些车辆配备的5英寸组合显示屏可能在启动时出现黑屏。除转向灯和危险警示灯外，部分车道保持辅助及8x20传感器（用于盲点监测及运输功能）也可能因此失效。

丰田北美子公司（成立于1804年，隶属于这家日本汽车制造商）表示，将通知受影响车主前往授权经销商处进行检修。——美联社

美国陆军开放试验场加速武器生产

作者：Konstantin Tompin ADOCAD 编号 99833

坎普·格拉廷电 —— 美国陆军宣布将开放试验场，以推动开发导弹、装备及其他设备的公司加快进度。美国陆军在报告中表示，此举旨在迅速应对当前严峻的安全形势。

陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔（Dan Driscol）在记者会上表示，此举将为军工企业节省数月甚至数年的繁琐审批流程。他承诺，企业通过在线营销公司提交申请后，陆军将在30天内批准其使用美国或盟国的试验场。

“一个希望测试能改善士兵生命、提高其机动性并保持警觉性的产品的公司，可能需要等待12至18个月，”德里斯科尔说，“这远远不够。”

当前全球安全局势日益紧张，从中东地区针对美军的火箭弹袭击，到乌克兰在抵御俄罗斯入侵过程中对无人机技术的创新，均对军工市场提出了新的要求。

然而，陆军此前一直将试验场视为五角大楼的“禁区”，导致一些先进武器（有时单枚导弹或拦截器成本高达数百万美元）的展示机会受限。

德里斯科尔在接受美联社采访时表示，此次政策调整（如开放新试验场）部分源于他对乌克兰战争的直接观察，以及该国在生产新型武器系统方面的迅速行动。陆军部长曾试图缓和俄乌之间的长期对峙，因谈判未能取得进展。

五角大楼领导层一直在努力提高生产节奏，鼓励更多小型企业进入市场，生产经济高效的武器。德里斯科尔告诉记者，陆军计划“打破过去20或30年间设置的所有障碍”。

“我们必须与士兵们一起行动，支持他们，为他们提供后盾，”德里斯科尔在一次圆桌电话会议上表示，“在国内，我们没有时间再拖延，必须采购能让士兵更具杀伤力、更安全并保持控制力的装备。”

首家利用该新项目的公司已在新墨西哥州的陆军导弹试验场测试了一款新型巡航导弹。

“我正在与Covenant Industries公司合作，该公司不仅展示了‘安东’导弹的性能，还证明了如今每家企业都能获得的可行路径。”

该项目允许无人机和导弹公司开发新试验场，用于测试火箭、无人机及反制武器，即使这些公司没有军方合同。

该系统可将武器快速部署至战场。近期一家智库的报告指出，与伊朗的冲突已消耗了美军大量先进拦截弹，如用于防御弹道导弹和无人机的“爱国者”和FAAAF导弹。Coven、H. Aranga及国际研究所的分析人士也指出，这种短缺可能迫使美国及其中东盟友为节省防空资源而承担更大风险。

智能眼镜

超过 6

当智能眼镜框架上的白色闪光灯提示人们正在被录制时，一些用户通过雇人在镜片背面钻孔或使用拉伸模式录制来隐藏或禁用该灯光。

当与不知情被录制的人互动的视频在社交媒体上疯传时，对这些眼镜的担忧瞬间爆发。

在 Instagram 上，一些视频展示了人们在校园和人行道上被搭讪的情景。虽然这些视频被描述为玩笑，但被拍摄的人似乎并不知道自己被录制，有时会显得不自在，要求陌生人停止拍摄或分享。

这种担忧已波及社交活动，喜剧演员吉米·坎摩尔在全国电视节目中将 Meta 的设备称为“爸妈眼镜”，歌手乐队则称智能眼镜“令人毛骨悚然”。

Meta 发言人表示，人们选择 AI 眼镜是因为它们“对任务非常有帮助”，如听音乐、实时翻译或免提聊天。 上个月更新了其智能眼镜，允许用户分享文件，但禁止篡改设备。

计划在眼镜功能日益强大的同时加强三重保护措施。

“使用者及其周围的人需要信任这些设备。这就是我们从根本上将隐私设计融入 AI 眼镜的原因，”发言人在声明中表示。

隶属于 的 Instagram 已禁用部分账户并下架了一些违反平台反骚扰和欺凌规则的内容。

随着诸多公司正在开发或计划推出高科技眼镜，分析师认为消费者采用率可能会增长。

但他们也将不得不应对围绕智能眼镜的隐私问题。

2024 年 4 月，美国公民自由联盟及超过 70 个组织联名致信 ，敦促该公司承诺不在智能眼镜及其他产品上推出任何面部识别功能，称这对隐私和公民自由构成“严重威胁”。

发言人表示“尚未做出决定”， 将审慎透明地处理任何相关信息的发布。

智能眼镜此前曾遭遇公众抵制。

十多年前，谷歌眼镜的早期用户因在社交场合使用这款 10,000 000 的智能眼镜而饱受批评，被指盯着空气使用智能设备。他们的绰号 Chandraku, Suga 广为流传。索尼于 2024 年推出了更强大的 8,000 台增强现实数字设备，可嵌入 740,000 个视频，并在 bright yellow working market 销售，但该产品惨遭失败。

针对智能眼镜的抵制情绪让一些人开始担忧其佩戴场合的适当性及潜在问题，即使没有强制要求。

纽约创作者本·科赫在 TikTok 上发布关于战争的内容，他表示自己的 智能眼镜用于接听免提电话。不过，家人和朋友曾询问他的“间谍眼镜”是否在录制。

“我不会戴着它们参加活动，因为我不想卷入这种对话，”他说，“我不会用它们来控制他人。”

今年 2 月，在洛杉矶县机场法院的一场高调社交活动中，法官卡罗琳·B·库尔要求法庭内所有人摘下智能眼镜，因担心陪审团成员可能被识别。包括无人机在内的录制设备通常不允许在法庭内使用。

泽连斯基称俄罗斯获得朝鲜援助

据称朝鲜政权提供的导弹被用于造成10人死亡的袭击

作者：吉塔·诺维科夫 美联社

KTTG乌克兰讯——俄罗斯使用导弹和滑翔炸弹袭击乌克兰城市，造成至少10名平民死亡，官员称。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，莫斯科在持续一年多的入侵行动中正获得朝鲜的新军事援助。

泽连斯基称，俄罗斯军队在对东南部城市扎波罗热的夜间袭击中使用了朝鲜提供的弹道导弹，一家公司表示其钢铁厂有7名工人死亡，21人受伤。

当局称，在中部的埃瓦波里舍夫斯克地区，包括一名10岁男孩在内的平民被俄罗斯军队和炮火杀害。

泽连斯基还表示，除弹道导弹外，朝鲜正准备向俄罗斯派遣更多部队。

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京称，朝鲜领导人金昂恩于2024年签署了战略伙伴关系协议，承诺在一方受到攻击时提供相互援助。

朝鲜向俄罗斯提供了数千名士兵和大量武器，以支持俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面入侵。泽连斯基称，与莫斯科的接触正帮助朝鲜提升军事能力，而战场经验将助长平壤在其地区对其他国家构成威胁。

乌克兰称，俄罗斯正加速生产弹道导弹，试图利用基辅严重缺乏“爱国者”防空拦截器的短板，并声称莫斯科正准备招募更多士兵，以在长达776英里的东部和南部前线发起新一轮攻势。

“俄罗斯每采取一步——增加弹道导弹生产、引入朝鲜装备、准备动员——都表明莫斯科不是在为和平做准备，而是在为升级做准备。”泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示。乌克兰空军在其每日通报中罕见地未提及俄罗斯夜间发射了多少枚导弹。目前尚不清楚这一遗漏是否为故意，基辅官员未立即置评。

由于华盛顿将注意力转向伊朗战争，且对俄援助缺乏进展，美国主导的外交努力未能阻止战争。

俄罗斯最高法院周一裁定，禁止“公正俄罗斯”党（唯一反对战争的政党）参加9月18日至20日的议会选举，此举表明普京决心继续入侵。华盛顿智库“战争研究所”在周一的分析中称，只要普京认为自己拥有稳定的军事路径来实现其全部目标，克里姆林宫就不会进行严肃谈判或在要求上做出实质性妥协。

该研究所表示：“乌克兰‘爱国者’导弹的短缺让俄罗斯有机会在即将到来的冬季对乌克兰造成严重破坏，从而阻碍有意义的停战谈判。”据官员称，俄罗斯军队还在夜间轰炸了乌克兰首都基辅的部分地区。一枚导弹击中了一家儿童医院的院区，造成两人受伤，并震碎了窗户。

乌克兰国家紧急服务局称，儿童和医护人员躲进了防空洞，无人受伤。在基辅的另一处地点，俄罗斯的袭击引发了一座仓库火灾，火势蔓延至近10,000平方英尺，紧急部门官员称。

俄罗斯国防部表示，俄军在基洛夫和扎波罗热地区加强了对“军工设施及交通物流控制”的防卫，并动用了“地面提供的武器”。该部在一份声明中称，俄军打击了基洛夫的民用设施（内藏无人机）及扎波罗热的一家冶金厂。此外，一家在扎波罗热运营的乌克兰大型矿业和金属公司表示，在收到弹道导弹来袭警报后，其七名主要工厂员工及一名防空部门负责人在防御行动中丧生。

该公司雇员数以万计，在声明中表示，袭击损坏了其主要设备及其他设备，迫使工厂停工。

乌克兰空军称，俄罗斯使用“锆石”及大型导弹和其他弹道导弹袭击了基洛夫和扎波罗热，同时在全国范围内发射了120架远程攻击无人机。

与此同时，俄罗斯国防部表示其空军无法驱逐袭击。乌克兰无人机飞越了俄方多个地区，包括2014年被莫斯科非法吞并的克里米亚（原文提及“从基洛夫非法吞并”，疑为笔误）。

俄罗斯最大的在线零售商Wildberries表示，其位于Vavranich地区（靠近乌克兰边境）的物流设施遭到袭击并起火。该公司补充称，火势已被扑灭，存放的货物“大部分未受损”。

乌克兰多次袭击Wildberries仓库及俄罗斯石油设施，此举被视为[...OMITTED...]迫使普京谈判结束入侵的战略之一。

乌克兰总参谋部表示，其部队袭击了俄罗斯奥伦堡地区奥尔斯克（距乌克兰约90英里）的一座炼油厂，引发火灾。该炼油厂年加工能力约为4000万桶原油，生产汽油、柴油和航空燃料等产品。

联合国：逾16,000名平民仍被俄罗斯扣押

官方聚焦乌克兰城市民众遭受的不人道待遇

作者：伊迪丝·M·路德维希 美联社

联合国 联合国估计，在俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争期间，有超过16,000名平民被俄罗斯拘留，其中许多人遭受酷刑和不当理由拘押。

“尽管俄罗斯对乌克兰平民拘留者及战俘持续实施酷刑和虐待，包括性暴力，但这些行为仍在继续。”联合国负责人权事务的助理秘书长约翰在周一举行的联合国安理会非正式会议上表示。

此次会议由英国提议召开，旨在聚焦在2022年2月俄罗斯全面入侵邻国后被俘的平民和士兵的境遇。安理会成员包括俄罗斯在内，听取了相关陈述，而俄乌双方在冲突中均面临困境。

自入侵以来，约翰表示，联合国人权机构在获释后对100名乌克兰战俘和400名平民拘留者进行了问询。联合国无法核实具体人数，其估计的被扣押人数也未按成人或儿童进行细分。

这位联合国官员称，超过95%的乌克兰战俘和85%的平民拘留者报告遭受酷刑或虐待，且多为反复施暴。他们还报告了性侵犯及恶劣的拘押条件，包括食物匮乏和医疗服务不足。

总部位于日内瓦的人权办公室“记录了乌克兰战俘在被俘初期遭处决的案例，以及40名乌克兰战俘在拘押期间因酷刑、拒绝提供医疗救治或其他恶劣拘押条件而死亡”，约翰说道。

联合国安理会还听取了乌克兰资深人权活动人士路易丝·乌马罗娃的沉痛陈述。她自称在俄罗斯被关押近两年，是一名“政治犯”。此外，乌克兰士兵赫拉姆·莱瓦·古雷察也出席了会议。古雷察曾在被围困的马里乌波尔市亚速钢铁厂坚守数月，于2022年5月向入侵者投降。

古雷察出生于马里乌波尔，母亲是乌克兰人，父亲是古巴人。他被俘1,183天后获释，称当时体重仅剩100磅，并向安理会展示了自己极度消瘦的身体照片。

他表示，由于俄罗斯怀疑他曾在美国担任外国传教士，对他施加的酷刑、殴打和羞辱比其他战俘更为严重。遗体被装在塑料袋中送回祖国。

“俄罗斯人愤怒的是，一个与古巴有联系的人——他们视古巴为盟友——竟会反抗他们的占领军。”古雷察说道。他目前仍在乌克兰军队服役。他称，俄罗斯试图通过冻伤、殴打、电击和性虐待等酷刑摧毁战俘的道德感，迫使他们认罪或指控他人。

“在马里乌波尔，也就是顿涅茨克地区，我的两名战友被活活打死。”古雷察说，“还有两名战友因俄罗斯的拘押条件而死，遗体被装在塑料袋中送回祖国。”

对乌马罗娃而言，她的囚禁始于试图从戈里亚切夫斯克进入俄罗斯，以探望在克里米亚身患重病的父亲。克里米亚属于乌克兰，但自2022年起被俄罗斯占领。

自2014年起，她一直谴责俄罗斯。她表示自己因“莫须有的罪名”被拘留，但与许多人不同的是，她能够联系到一名律师。她说，在第三个月，律师通过法院命令成功使她获释。

“但监狱大门刚一打开，我的头上就被套上了一个袋子，又被带走了，”她说。在六个月里，她被转移到七个不同的设施，称其为“一场绝望的巡回”。

乌马罗娃表示，她的遭遇是俄罗斯用来非人化、消耗、折磨平民并以仇恨生命为由指控他们的系统性手段的一部分。她提到了俄罗斯监狱系统中的半打女性，并称有16名女性面临刑事管辖。

联合国人权专家还采访了80名俄罗斯籍和97名来自40多个国家的战俘，这些战俘曾在乌克兰加入俄罗斯武装部队，助理秘书长约翰表示。

约一半人报告遭受酷刑或虐待。在苏联时期，苏联的一个单位曾报告称，一旦他们被转移至乌克兰拘留设施，条件通常符合国际人道法，且自2022年以来有所改善。

因有争议指控被俄扣押的美国海军陆战队退伍老兵获释

本·芬利（Ben Finley）与玛丽莉·李（Marilee Lee） 美联社

华盛顿——俄罗斯已释放一名在狱中度过四年多、遭受虐待且指控存疑的美国退伍军人。周二，为他奔走的倡议组织表示，罗伯特·吉尔曼（Robert Gilman）在狱中健康状况堪忧，原本面临50年刑期。

全球触达组织（Global Reach）首席战略官埃里克·勒布恩（Eric Leboun）表示，吉尔曼正前往得克萨斯州的一家美军医院，将接受医学和心理评估及治疗。该组织长期致力于营救海外被扣押的美国人。吉尔曼的家人已飞往当地与他会合，包括其母，她此前曾在俄罗斯试图探视他。然而，唐纳德·特朗普在社交媒体上发文称，吉尔曼将于周二晚抵达华盛顿郊外的安德鲁斯空军基地（Andrews Air Force Base）。“我与他通了话，他着陆时有三个迫切需求——都是重大事项，”特朗普写道，“我会处理好！”

特朗普表示，他在吉尔曼获释前与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）通话，称此次释放“完全基于人道主义考虑”。“我们对此决定表示赞赏，俄罗斯并未要求交换任何条件，”特朗普说。

吉尔曼现年32岁，自2022年起被关押。他最初因在火车上制造骚乱被带下车后殴打警察，被判处3.5年有期徒刑。此后，他又被指控在狱中袭击一名监狱检察官、殴打一名调查员及袭击一名狱警，刑期被延长至2024年10月，共计八年零一个月。去年，因被判袭击狱警，其刑期再度延长至50年。吉尔曼的父亲对这些指控提出异议。吉尔曼的哥哥路易斯·哈德森（Louis Hudson）将退伍军人的获释归功于特朗普和马萨诸塞州联邦参议员埃德·马基（Ed Markey）。

“罗伯特今天能活着，唯一原因是特朗普总统得知此案后采取了行动，”哈德森说，并感谢马基“领导了我们的倡议努力，促成了这一转变”。“俄罗斯人将我弟弟当作人质，”哈德森说，“他们除了知道他是美国人和海军陆战队员，对他一无所知。他们从中得到了什么？为何要如此对待一个如此优秀的人？”

罗伯特的联邦公设辩护人新泽西州办公室未回应关于吉尔曼狱中健康状况恶化的置评请求。

“俄罗斯人将我弟弟当作人质，”哈德森说，“他们除了知道他是美国人和海军陆战队员，对他一无所知。他们从中得到了什么？为何要如此对待一个如此优秀的人？”

华盛顿仍在应对国民警卫队问题

临时任务已持续12个月，延长至2030年

加里·弗莱什 美联社

华盛顿——自唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布在首都展开大规模调查，承诺让华盛顿“安全且美丽”并部署国民警卫队以来，已过去12个月。

但原本看似临时的任务已延长至2019年1月。居民和地方官员对联邦政府限制这座民主党重镇自治权的做法表示不满，一年后，首都街头仍可见特朗普派遣的部队。

“我们身处‘三个世界的首都’，而哥伦比亚特区美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）的法律总监表示：‘DC居民已经与国民警卫队在社区共处近一年，尽管并无任何真正的紧急情况，也没有任何理由让他们留在这里。’”

持续部署的4个主要考验成为新一轮政治候选人争夺的焦点，尤其是在制服问题上。居民期望他们能抵制这位共和党总统对城市事务的干预——尽管他们对能采取的反制措施感到无力。

2020年8月11日，特朗普宣布在华盛顿启动联邦执法力量增援，旨在打击4级重罪。目前仍有来自DC及24个州和地区的4,000多名军事人员与身份不明的执法人员一同部署，成为一支显眼的执法力量。部分人员预计将于夏末撤离。

小队武装警卫队员已成为街头常态。他们协助逮捕行动，甚至在旅游区巡逻，如樱花节期间的潮汐湖沿岸及暴力犯罪频发的社区等地。

他们还协助处理一些医疗紧急情况、清除和住院项目——这些举措获得部分居民支持。

将部署延长至2029年预计将耗资约14亿美元。国防部估计所有支出均为不可避免，但国会预算办公室今年早些时候的一份报告预测，首年部署总成本约为1亿美元，基于每月约200美元的开支水平。假设整个任务期间保持这一水平。

“特朗普总统已将DC从犯罪猖獗的城市变为居民和游客眼中富饶美丽的城镇。”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊在电子邮件中表示。

哥伦比亚特区美国检察官办公室公布的数据显示，此次增援行动已促成超过15,000起逮捕。

增援开始前犯罪率已在下降，大都会警察局数据显示，截至上周五，总体犯罪率较2020年同期下降20%，其中凶杀案下降52%，从97起降至91起。

但对于这些成效在多大程度上归功于特朗普的任务，而非地方努力打击犯罪率，仍存在争议。

可以确定的是，他经历了部署的重压，并寻找反制之道。

一场挑战部署的诉讼正在审理中，但增援行动的批评者并不乐观。

“国民警卫队在我们街头巡逻，却没有真正的用武之地，这几乎是在浪费资源。”市议会议员埃里安娜·纳多表示。

新华盛顿是一个由国会设立的联邦特区。特朗普对该地区及DC国民警卫队拥有更大影响力，包括直接控制指挥权。

《地方自治法案》于1975年通过，允许居民投票选举地方领导人，包括市长和市议会成员。国会对地方预算拥有监督权，并有权审查所有通过的法律，并可要求该地区官员前往国会山解释其行为。目前，哥伦比亚特区在国会的代表持积极态度。

该市的政府结构无法轻易让特朗普为所欲为，一位不具名人士表示。

“国家领导人在哥伦比亚特区采取行动时，实际上并不需要承担任何政治责任，因为该市的现状并不会直接影响到他们。”

执法力量的增援在民主党初选中发挥了重要作用，那些将华盛顿的最低限度自治作为首要议题的全国性候选人也因此受益。

詹姆斯·莱文·高里（James Leven Gowry）是一位民主党牧师，在下一届市长选举中极有可能获胜，他已经对特朗普的行为表示支持。他威胁称，如果投票结果不如意，将把该市置于联邦控制之下。

罗伯特·怀特是另一位支持州地位的候选人，赢得了民主党初选，将代表该市竞选国会席位。尽管受限于该市的现有地位，两人均希望能够“帮助反击总统及其部署”。

怀特表示，计划建立

“一支由6.1,000名居民组成的‘大军’”，并将目标锁定在所有投票区，努力“选出那些批评该地区的人，并选出那些支持哥伦比亚特区的人”。

即将卸任的市长穆里尔·鲍泽避免了其他知名民主党人常见的激烈言辞和人身攻击，尽管国会对其城市的干预不断。她的一个主要目标是消除特朗普第二次执政期间该市所面临的独立自治威胁。

鲍泽办公室的一位不愿透露姓名的退休官员表示，尽管该市的地位面临挑战，但城市在实现目标方面仍取得了进展。“确保城市中每个人的安全和福祉仍然是我们的首要任务，而维护地方自治则是我们的北极星。”声明称。

“我们不仅仅是纪念碑和政治。”鲍泽在其个人账号发布的一段48秒视频中说道。

在过去的10年里，超过700,000名哥伦比亚特区居民——他们服役于军队、经营企业、养育家庭——“我们在国会没有投票代表权。我们无法控制哥伦比亚特区国民警卫队，也无法完全获得美国公民的全部权利和权力。”

国民警卫队的部署引发了一些年过40的人的担忧，他们担心2018年总统选举期间街头出现军队的情景会重演。

“上次这位总统意外下台时，是1月6日。我们都看到了。”FAAQIC（一个通过跟踪和拍摄国民警卫队行动来阻止部署的行动组织）联合创始人约翰·迪金表示，“他可能再次被迫下台，但这次他手中有1,000名士兵随时待命。我们知道，这是最糟糕的情况。”

哥伦比亚搜寻数千名地震失踪者

哥伦比亚费雷拉——救援人员周二在废墟中搜寻，希望能找到在一场强烈地震中失踪的数千人，这场地震袭击了哥伦比亚西部数十个城镇。

哥伦比亚总统阿韦拉多·德拉·埃斯皮列利亚表示，周一发生的7.4级地震已造成至少80人死亡。他称约有2,200人受伤，另有数千人仍下落不明。民间救援组织估计，失踪人数可能高达4,000人。德拉·埃斯皮列利亚还表示，超过2,000人受伤，更多建筑受损。

该地区约有1,400座建筑被报告损毁或倒塌。军方人员和家属徒手搬运大块混凝土，在泥泞中排成长队搜寻废墟。

在佩雷拉一栋倒塌的公寓楼废墟旁，一名男子表示，他从185英里外的麦德林赶来，希望找到哥哥。

“我绝对确信他在这里，绝对确信，”该男子说，并提到哥哥的车就停在楼外。但他担心哥哥可能未能幸存。

“哥哥的车周围都是废墟，”该男子说，一台重型机械正在废墟中轰鸣作业。“我们希望废墟能保护他，但我们再也听不到任何声音了。我不知道。我几乎不抱希望了。”

乔科省是此次地震的震中所在地，也是哥伦比亚最贫困、最被忽视的地区之一，常受武装组织困扰。乔科省大部分地区只能通过船只、丛林或飞机进入。目前尚不清楚该地区的受灾程度。

德拉·埃斯皮列利亚此前数日刚被确诊，周一晚前往乔科省首府奥帕尔达，并宣布动员“全部军警力量”展开救援，调派工程师、救援人员和搜救犬。

“乔科将不再是‘被遗忘的土地’，”他说。

此次地震是德拉·埃斯皮列利亚面临的首次重大考验，因其承诺打击该国犯罪团伙，他一直是一个极具争议的人物。社交媒体上充斥着民众发布失踪亲人的信息。

达娜·卡罗利娜·萨莫拉在社交媒体上发布了叔叔米格尔·安赫尔·萨莫拉的照片，并附上了他的狗的照片。“农民住在埃尔凯罗的一个农村地区，距离震中圣何塞、圣拉斐尔不远。”

当地政府表示，埃尔凯罗镇约7,000名居民中，有80%的建筑受损。萨莫拉说，叔叔住在一栋砖木结构的传统房屋里。

“我们很害怕。我们希望即使情况不妙，他也平安无事，只是暂时联系不上。但我们至今没有他的任何消息，”萨莫拉说。

此次地震让许多人想起6月邻国委内瑞拉遭受的毁灭性地震，那场地震摧毁了数百座建筑，造成2,000多人死亡。

美国军方：武力拦截试图规避伊朗港口封锁的船只

美联社

美国军方周二表示，在阿曼湾对一艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的船只采取武力行动，该船试图规避对伊朗港口实施的安曼封锁。此举发生在唐纳德·特朗普总统试图对伊斯兰共和国保持经济压力之际。

美国中央司令部表示，该船只无视停船警告，促使一架美国直升机向 MV Vels 号的引擎开火。目前，该船正在漏油。美国中央司令部的声明未说明船员是否有任何伤亡。

中央司令部表示，已拦截了 10 艘试图突破封锁的商船，并使其失去行动能力。目前，美国海军在阿拉伯海水域部署了超过 1 艘舰艇，包括两艘航空母舰和 1 艘两栖攻击舰。

在也门，胡塞武装周二向一艘船只发射导弹，也门当局表示。

也门海岸警卫队表示，死者包括四名新成员和第二空军的两名成员，隶属于也门国民抵抗力量。胡塞武装向也门商船发射了三枚导弹，根据也门国际承认政府的交通部消息。

这是也门内战战事升级以来，胡塞武装袭击也门近海船只首次造成已知人员死亡。

随着伊朗最有效的否认逐渐平息，人们重新关注这场战争的前五年。第二空军的南部基地是美国为沙特阿拉伯运输石油的关键通道。

这起致命的船只袭击发生在胡塞武装袭击持续之际

再次在阿拉伯海造成南非人遇袭。2016. 2016. 2016. 2016 2016. 2016. 2016. 2

胡塞武装对政府控制的港口发动袭击，目标是红海及该国其他地区价值 500 亿美元的设施。根据也门军方消息，自上周以来，已有数十名政府军士兵和平民在袭击中丧生。

这些袭击是胡塞武装针对也门政府军和邻国沙特阿拉伯的石油设施（沙特支持也门政府）以及红海航运的升级行动的一部分。

胡塞武装的袭击可能预示着也门内战在 2022 年停火后重新爆发，并为中东战争开辟新战线。

胡塞武装首席谈判代表兼发言人穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒-萨拉姆在一份未注明日期的声明中指责沙特阿拉伯，称其利用这一事业收紧了自 2025 年以来对也门实施的空中和海上封锁。他表示，胡塞武装的表现远超预期，任何解决方案都必须包括解除封锁。

在伊朗，外交部发言人阿纳利蒂克对记者表示，伊朗向全世界证明了其对抗美国和以色列的战争，“证明它是一个坚韧不屈的国家”。

伊朗拒绝在满足以下条件前放弃要求：美国及其盟友解除对伊朗港口的封锁、取消对伊斯兰共和国的 80alphaes 制裁，并

履行其他条件，然后德黑兰才会考虑合作应对战争威胁。伊朗有效关闭了以色列和美国在该国发动袭击的武器。对这一关键水道的袭击——在战争前，全球约五分之一的贸易石油供应（约 500 亿）通过该水道——以及其未来的不确定性，使能源市场在 11 月大选前保持紧张。The U.S. of the police ahead of November's uniforms and more。

特朗普周一在与记者的交流中表示，美国海军的封锁正在阻止伊朗在国际市场上出售石油，有效扼制了伊朗的经济。

“他们只能制造麻烦，”特朗普说，“你们破产了。”

费基拉尼内政部长米什坎·纳克维（Mishkan Naqvi）周二应邀前往德黑兰，就剩余时间确保在费基拉尼斡旋下与美国达成的临时和平协议进行谈判。两名官员透露了这一消息。由于未获授权向媒体发言，这两名官员要求匿名。其中一名官员表示：“费基拉尼政府被迫促成纳克维此行。这是他作为费基拉尼外交努力的一部分，为缓和伊朗与美国之间紧张关系而第六次访问伊朗。”

风暴命名反映文化

太平洋地区台风名称始于20世纪90年代

弗朗西斯卡·雷吉纳尔多 《纽约时报》

如果你看到一个名为“Into-som”的风暴正在太平洋上空聚集，这并非错误。

6月，随着太平洋台风季的开始，香港天文台表示已向西北太平洋和南海的热带气旋命名名单贡献了该市的一个简短名称。

这并非香港首次以深受喜爱的象征物命名风暴。上周末袭击中国、台湾和日本的“海豚”台风，其名称即源自该市的动物吉祥物。

“海豚”之后将有两个在太平洋形成的热带风暴接踵而至。一个名为“Police”，由澳门以一种特产命名；另一个名为“Channel”，以一种树命名。

这些名称由台风委员会汇编，该委员会于1948年由世界气象组织国家局成立，旨在帮助亚太地区国家应对热带风暴。该委员会最初拥有100个名称，分为五列，每四到五年循环使用一次。目前正在使用第一列的名称。

台风委员会的成员包括美国、中国、韩国、香港和马来西亚等，每个成员国贡献10个名称。这些名称源自各成员国的语言和文化，包括动物、植物、历史和神话人物，当然还有食物。

这意味着“Into-som”最终将与其他台风一同出现，如韩语中的“Gangyin”（铃）、泰语中的“Shanghai”（锯）以及密克罗尼西亚的“Erica”等，根据该委员会3月发布的最新名称列表。

以下是风暴命名的运作方式。

预报员开始实践

当温暖的海水、潮湿的空气和微风持续足够长时间，结合形成产生强风、巨浪和暴雨的混合体时，热带气旋便会形成。在西太平洋上空形成并影响亚洲的热带气旋被称为台风。

二战期间，多个亚洲国家的气象学家因天气预报被视为敏感军事情报而被日军占领当局禁止工作，菲律宾大气地球物理和天文服务管理局表示。战后，这些国家依赖驻扎在美属太平洋领土关岛的美国军事预报员。

为区分不同风暴，美国预报员最初编制了一份女性名称名单，通常取自他们的妻子或女友，气象学家表示。20世纪70年代，随着性别平等运动的兴起，美国政府开始加入男性名称。香港天文台前台长岑智明在2007年的视频采访中提到。

部分命名流程向公众开放

台风委员会成员在1990年代推动用区域性名称取代美国名称。部分成员将命名流程向公众开放。“我们希望将所有旧名称留在20世纪，”利维尔（Livier）表示，他于1994年为菲律宾公众制定了命名标准。

他表示，台风委员会拒绝了在其他语言中不明确或带有负面含义的名称。风暴名称也不能以公众人物命名，包括政治主义和色彩。

2005年，委员会否决了两个由香港公众提名的名称：太极（Taichi）——这一中国古代武术名称可能被误认为是日本音乐名称；而库佩克（Kupek）——这位作曲家的名字在某些语言中听起来像是性器官的俚语，拉丁（Latin）说道。

相比之下，英都（Into-som）则毫无争议。香港天文台发言人李宇星（Lee Yuh Sing）表示，该名称与日本（Yamaji）和霍石（Huo-shi）——拉提米人（Latminers）对马勃菌的称呼——一同于2018年由公众选出。

名称蕴含地域文化？

除了英都和海豚（Dolphin），香港还提交了黛雅（Deyas）——以树木命名，以及拉图西利（Latourcili）——以俯瞰城市的山峰命名。

日本气象厅表示，日本通常提交星座名称，如韩国（Korea，即小犬座）和小熊（Koguma，即小熊座）。委员会的名单还包括神话人物，如中国民间女英雄麻利姆（Malim）、密克罗尼西亚自然女神西尼莎（Sinisha）和越南山神山帝（Son Tiah）。

马来西亚提交的名称来自易于发音的本土动植物。马来西亚气象局发言人马迪（Mardy）和穆罕默德（Mohamed）表示。其他国家也从自然中汲取灵感，包括越南的马龙仁（Ma Long Ren）、泰国的卡蒙（Khamon，意为“菠萝蜜”）和菲律宾的安塔瑞斯（Mount Antares）。

致命风暴名称常被除名

部分名称在与特别具破坏性或致命的风暴关联后被弃用。

菲律宾在2010年造成逾6,000人死亡的台风过后，停止使用以灾区地名命名的方式。台风委员会于2018年正式将该风暴名称“海燕”（Haiyan）除名。

今年，委员会决定从候选名单中移除毛里（Mao-ri），该名称在2024年风暴造成菲律宾十余人死亡后被弃用。

新闻简报

缺席判处叙利亚被罢黜独裁者死刑

来自通讯社报道

大马士革，叙利亚——叙利亚法院周二缺席判处总统巴沙尔·阿萨德及其兄弟犯有谋杀、酷刑和危害人类罪，这些罪行发生在该国长达16年的内战前及期间，造成约50万人死亡。

自阿萨德家族掌权数十年来，大马士革法院首次对阿萨德或其核心圈子成员作出判决，该判决于20个月前结束。然而，这些判决大多具有象征意义，因阿萨德及其兄弟马希尔已逃往俄罗斯，并在2024年12月叙利亚政府垮台后获得庇护。

另有6名前官员被缺席判处死刑。唯一被判死刑且在押的前官员是努吉布，他仍在镇压异见的行动中扮演关键角色，该行动引发了内战。在宣判现场，努吉布身穿先锋制服，头戴鸭舌帽，面对法官和判决，法院外聚集了大批安保人员。

尽管阿萨德不太可能面临法律制裁，但该判决在许多叙利亚人中颇受欢迎，尤其是那些遇害者家属。然而，批评者认为新政府在打击阿萨德势力方面行动不够迅速或有力。

1994年，阿萨德及其他机构犯下战争罪和危害人类罪——法官普拉巴姆在阿兰区的驾驶中表示，该判决在美国通过国家电视台直播，这与阿萨德政权通常秘密进行的审判形成对比。

努吉布是被定罪的最高级别安全官员之一。他是前陆军准将，曾负责叙利亚南部德拉省的政治安全。

在其任期内，十多名在校园墙壁上涂写反政府标语的青少年被逮捕并遭受酷刑。该案件成为引发大规模抗议阿萨德安全部队镇压政策的导火索。

这些抗议在2011年遭到政府镇压，并最终演变为内战，直至2024年阿萨德在闪电式攻势中下台。

努吉布的部分受害者出席了庭审，其中包括2013年服刑的一名受害者。穆萨维·拉亚马表示：“今天，我们终于为那些在镇压中丧生的人讨回了公道。”多年后，“努吉布被判死刑，我们感到欣慰。”

在一项为期6个月的研究中，基肖里法官周二裁定，唐纳德·特朗普总统的一项行政令试图建立联邦投票机制，并直接让美国邮政局参与销毁行动，旨在限制选举中的违规行为，该裁决无效。

美国地区法院法官萨迪·塔尔瓦尼已于3月暂停了特朗普签署的这项命令，这是他第二次试图在全美范围内设定选举规则。同一州的总检察长正在申请即决判决，以阻止特朗普的命令生效。

周二的裁决为特朗普政府设置了另一法律障碍，若其对初步禁令提出上诉，可能需直接提交美国最高法院。

塔尔瓦尼在裁决中写道：“距离2020年11月5，2020中期选举已不足60天，此时发布禁令以防止被告在选举前夕改变选举规则至关重要。”

特朗普政府7月曾请求最高法院叫停下级法院的裁决，这些裁决阻止了其在近半数州推行的全面改革。

在最新诉讼中，由民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马提名的塔尔瓦尼法官支持了妇女选民联盟及其他选举权组织的立场。

她的裁决批准了一项初步禁令，禁止邮政局在今年中期选举期间采取任何实施该命令的步骤。他表示，政府迄今拒绝为该命令的合宪性辩护。

加拿大山火：加拿大西部一场造成约 20,000 人逃离的致命山火在一夜之间蔓延，数百万强风加剧了控制火势的难度，并使损失评估工作完全无法完成，当局周二表示。

约 100 名来自墨西哥的消防员正在赶来协助扑灭这场大火，该火灾已摧毁了不列颠哥伦比亚省“莱茵天然气湖”（Rhinel gas Lake）地区的房屋和其他财产。大火已造成一名 60 岁女性死亡，并向山区蔓延，该社区约有 12,000 人，距温哥华约 185 英里。

不列颠哥伦比亚省野火服务机构省级行动主任克里夫·查普曼表示，消防员正在火场周边昼夜奋战，以建立控制线，确保疏散居民能安全返回家园。

利比亚无人机袭击：利比亚西部的消防员周二表示，前一天对一处石油设施的无人机袭击引发的大火已被扑灭，但火势曾一度蔓延至地中海海面。无人机袭击周二仍在持续，包括对一座发电厂和炼油厂的袭击。利比亚国家石油公司表示。

这些袭击凸显了利比亚关键基础设施安全的脆弱性。在该国另一起事件中，周一在利比亚，一起汽车炸弹袭击造成一名高级军官死亡，该军官隶属于一支自治武装力量。这是这个饱受暴力困扰的北非国家近期发生的最新一起炸弹袭击。

目前尚无组织宣称对周二发生在首都的黎波里以西约 10 英里的扎雷卡镇的无人机袭击，或空袭事件负责。

南非矿难：警方周二表示，南非一处非法矿井坍塌，造成至少 14 名矿工死亡，8 人受伤。

西北省警方发言人表示，搜救工作仍在进行，目前尚不清楚是否仍有受害者被困。警方动用了嗅探犬和专业设备搜寻可能被困地下的幸存者。发言人称，该数字可能高达 126 亿 百万（原文数值存疑）。

警方称，这起事故发生在周一晚间，当时矿工们在约翰内斯堡西北约 400 英里的朗堡附近非法作业。朗堡是一处小规模采矿活动的中心。

匈牙利选举新总统：匈牙利议会周二选举前最高法院首席大法官安德鲁斯·巴拉为新任总统，此前该国新政府正在拆除前总理欧尔班·维克托留下的权力架构。

在秘密投票中，执政的提萨党（Tisza）议员以 140 票支持、19 票反对的结果选举巴拉，而欧尔班的青民盟（Fidesz）党则抵制了投票。

巴拉预计将于 8 月 19 日 宣誓就职。总统一职在匈牙利主要为礼仪性职务，但有权将法案退回议会或提交宪法法院审查。

总理彼得·马加尔的政府表示，清理欧尔班执政期间任命的官员是恢复民主规范和被侵蚀的体制完整性的必要举措。

本·琼斯 1942–2026

从《The Dukes of Hazzard》配角转战佐治亚州政坛

作者：格伦·里夫金 《纽约时报》

本·琼斯是一位性格演员，因在1979年至1995年播出的热门电视剧《The Dukes of Hazzard》中饰演自称南方“乡巴佬”的Cooter而走红。他后来以佐治亚州民主党人的身份担任了两届美国众议院议员。琼斯于周日在弗吉尼亚州华盛顿的家中去世，享年64岁。

死因为心脏病发作，其妻子阿尔玛·万斯透露。

在出演Cooter一角之前，琼斯曾与酒精成瘾抗争长达20年，经历过多次离婚、多次被捕并入狱。在《The Dukes of Hazzard》中，他饰演的是达文波特县一位和蔼可亲的机械师。

在这个角色中，他负责维修剧中标志性的道具车——General Lee，一辆1969年款道奇Charger，这辆车被漆成橙红色，供剧中两位主角——Bo和Luke Duke——在与当地执法部门无休止的恶作剧和飙车追逐中使用。

最初，这个角色只是一个名为“Crazy” Cooter的次要人物，但琼斯坚持将其从单一的南方刻板形象转变为一个风趣幽默、忠诚可靠的伙伴，并成为该剧最受欢迎的角色之一。

《The Dukes of Hazzard》于1979年1月作为季中替代剧集播出时，曾遭到哥伦比亚广播公司首席执行官威廉·佩利的贬低，并被评论家不屑一顾。《洛杉矶时报》电视评论家霍华德·罗森伯格曾预言：“这部剧撑不过第一个广告时段。”

然而，该剧却成为该电视网的收视热门，长期位列收视率前五，每周五晚吸引数千万观众。琼斯后来表示，《The Dukes of Hazzard》之所以成功，是因为其传递的正能量。

“在我们的剧中，好人总是赢家，而且从没有人受伤，”琼斯在2008年的回忆录《Redneck Boy in the Promised Land》中写道。“剧中有喜剧动作和模拟暴力，但最终没有人流血，也没有人受到真正的伤害。犯罪和善行都得到了应有的回报，美德本身就是奖赏。”

在漫长的演艺生涯中，琼斯参演了超过300部舞台剧（RICK DIAMOND-SETTY 2007），并与詹姆斯·厄尔·琼斯、安东尼·霍普金斯、伊娃·玛丽·圣和约翰·特伦西亚等明星合作。但他的角色通常较小，再未获得如Cooter般的知名度。

1986年，该剧被取消后，琼斯凭借其南方魅力和运动型的个人魅力，被民主党人劝说在佐治亚州第四国会选区竞选众议员，挑战深受欢迎的共和党现任议员帕特·斯温德尔。

他决定详细披露自己的过往经历，认为这些迟早会被曝光，而他的坦诚反而成为优势而非劣势。正如他常说的那样，这与其说是跌倒，不如说是如何站起来。

尽管资历尚浅且面对更知名的对手，琼斯在首次竞选中落败，但结果比预期更接近。两年后，他再次参选，而斯温德尔因多项妨碍大陪审团调查的指控被起诉，他的胜算大增。

琼斯最终获胜，并连任两届国会议员。在选区重划后，他失去了议席，并在1994年试图击败邻近选区的现任议员内夫·加吉奇，但未能成功。

政治生涯受挫后，琼斯在弗吉尼亚州开设了一家集博物馆、咖啡馆和市场于一体的综合场所，专门致敬《The Dukes of Hazzard》。

本杰明·刘易斯·琼斯于30, 1941年出生在北卡罗来纳州塔特伯勒，是铁路工段长罗伯特·琼斯和铁路工段长之女弗吉尼亚·斯蒂芬斯·琼斯的独子。

在北卡罗来纳大学就读期间，他发现了对表演的兴趣。尽管他常常酗酒，但仍展现出天赋，参演了多部学生作品。他与酒精成瘾的斗争持续了约20年。

除妻子外，他还留下了与前妻玛丽·爱丽丝·比尔（Mary Alice Beall）所生的女儿蕾切尔（Rachel），与一位朋友关系中所生的女儿珍妮（Jeanne），与妻子薇薇安·沃克（Vivian Walker）所生的儿子沃克（Walker），三名继子女，以及10名孙辈。

非洲开发者青睐廉价中国AI模型而非美国模型

保罗·莫泽、亚当·萨特曼、亚伦·科西克 《纽约时报》

肯尼亚内罗毕——去年，乌干达科技开发者欧内斯特·莫巴扎（Ernest Mowbaza）在为本国众多语言定制人工智能系统时，测试了美国和中国的工具，以确定哪个能更好地处理乌干达的语言。

莫巴扎表示，来自中国互联网巨头阿里巴巴的AI模型在处理乌干达数十种语言方面表现优于Meta或谷歌的任何产品。该模型性能出色，他还能用自己的数据进行定制。

“我们希望以尽可能低的成本构建系统，同时确保其运行良好，”曾任谷歌研究科学家的莫巴扎说。

他开发的系统“向日葵”（Sunflower）现已在乌干达全国使用，其功能包括为当地地区提供天气信息和农作物建议。

现年47岁的莫巴扎是过去一年转向使用中国AI模型的非洲数千名开发者之一。在肯尼亚，企业家们利用这些模型简化法律和商业服务；在尼日利亚，它们被用作教授高中生的教育工具；在加纳，开发者正在为当地慈善机构构建系统。

随着人们寻求性价比最高的系统，中国AI在发展中国家迅速崛起。与领先的美国AI公司OpenAI和Anthropic的模型（封闭且收费）不同，中国系统可公开下载和修改，无需付费或审批。

根据《纽约时报》对百万用户数据的分析，在拥有400个AI模型可供选择的服务平台OpenBiotics上，中国“开源”模型的使用量已占总使用量的一半，而一年前这一比例还不到25%。

!

技术人员于7月6日在肯尼亚内罗毕的一个AI数据中心工作。KANG-CHUNG CHENG / 《纽约时报》

在另一个AI数据库Hagging Face上，中国模型占据了25个最受欢迎的开源系统中的10个。

在对肯尼亚、乌干达等国的二十多名开发者、政策制定者和高管的采访中，他们描述了一个快速变化的AI市场，其中成本、计算资源、数据控制和定制化比模型的产地更为重要。他们通常并不追求最前沿的AI技术，只需要能满足业务需求的足够好用的产品。

他们补充说，使用中国模型如今就像拥有一套房子，而使用美国模型则像租房。开发者无需花费数百万美元从头训练模型，只需下载中国系统并在其基础上构建全新产品，主要支付服务费用即可。相比之下，美国模型属于“一刀切”技术，需要订阅且依赖具体工作任务。

“为何用昂贵的法拉利送孩子上学，而一辆丰田掀背车就能完成同样的任务？”内罗毕数字营销机构Dotaavvy的创业者摩西·肯巴纳（Moses Kembana）说。他还指出，考虑到计算基础设施等成本，中国模型的价格最多可便宜90%。

中国官员希望其在非洲的进展成为未来的预演。上月，强大的新型中国AI系统震动华尔街和硅谷，令华盛顿警觉美国科技主导地位可能受到削弱。

中国领导人习近平将AI视为一种软实力。在7月上海举行的一次会议上，他表示中国模型“更可靠、更便宜”，并警告称，若AI的益处无法共享，将产生“新的历史性不公”。肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚、南非及其他七个非洲国家在会上与中国签署了AI合作协议，以促进国际合作。

开发者们表示，中国企业还通过提供免费计算资源和实地工程支持来吸引非洲开发者。许多在非洲销售的中国智能手机预装了中国AI工具。

与此同时，中国的人工智能产业也面临挑战。企业难以从用户身上盈利，且在数据安全和与北京的关联方面存在诸多疑问。

许多非洲开发者仍然为美国的人工智能模型付费，尤其是在编程等技术任务上。

Kokandy音乐家 加入工会，Writers Theatre财务状况良好

克里斯·琼斯

《论坛报》获悉，Teatro ZinZanov位于伦道夫街的前芝加哥驻地（位于12 W. Randolph St.的Cambria酒店内的Spiegel帐篷）将在未指定日期被一个名为Kermon的项目取代。Kermon网站提到“一个全新的沉浸式娱乐目的地，芝加哥的餐饮、鸡尾酒、现场表演和意想不到的体验将汇聚一堂”，这听起来与近乎燃料驱动的ZinZanov非常相似。ZinZanov在过去几年间以不同化身和制作人身份运营，直至今年1月停止。

《凯尔与海德》的工会音乐家

芝加哥音乐家联合会10-209分会表示，Kokandy Productions已与工会签署协议，为其节目《凯尔与海德》于9月8日至10月25, 2026的演出做准备，该演出由“百老汇在芝加哥”主办，地点在百老汇剧院（375 E. Chestnut St.）。该剧拥有一支10人管弦乐队，规模超过舞台上的演员人数。美国音乐家联合会表示：“许多在备受赞誉的原版制作中表演的音乐家已经是美国音乐家联合会的自由 / 非正式会员。Kokandy Productions自愿承认CPM（芝加哥音乐家联合会），认可了现场专业音乐家对该剧成功的重要贡献。”然而，整体制作仍未与演员工会（Actors Equity）达成协议。

无论11月3日的中期选举结果如何，这一天都不会平静度过——争吵和咒骂在所难免。你需要一些独处时间，一个小时的反思，一个发泄的机会，一点沉思。

也许来点竖琴音乐？芝加哥人文节刚刚公布了其秋季活动日程，在中期选举四天后的11月7日，人文节将在海德公园日（Hyde Park Day）的深度活动中，邀请伟大的摄影记者David Hume Kennedy（其作品与越南战争、美莱村屠杀、弗雷泽-阿里拳击赛、Aldred及白宫等标志性事件紧密相连），带我们回顾另一个美国；竖琴演奏家Mary Luttimore将为这场哥特式噩梦带来冥想式的慰藉；而伟大的散文家Hilton Ale可能会（自恋地）滔滔不绝。

晚餐同伴因过敏反应被送急诊

亲爱的先生： 大约每10个月，我们一群来自美国的人会聚餐，你是远方的朋友。在上次聚餐中，我坐在一位我只是泛泛之交的女士旁边。

聚餐后的第二天，这位女士向组织活动的人表示，她因对我点的食物过敏而不得不去急诊室。这位女士是一位她认识的男士，但我不认识。

令人惊讶的是，我并没有点这道菜。

我当时非常开心，大家也一笑置之。

如果我们再次与包括这位女士在内的团体外出用餐，是否应该避免坐在她旁边？

福利故事 亲爱的故事： 急诊室之行可不是什么好笑的事，我会选择另一种方式。可能是你或当时在场的其他人点的食物中含有鱼油或鱼类衍生物。这并不罕见，可能存在于酱汁、健康食品或其他含有少量鱼类成分的食物中。我也怀疑是否存在厨房交叉污染的可能性。

你不知道存在风险，显然她也没有意识到，因此这里没有过错。

但下次外出用餐时，与其选择其他座位，不如询问她是否需要任何配合。

鱼类过敏非常敏感，她甚至无法靠近含有过敏原的食物，因此这可能是一个更大的问题，应该让大家都明确这一点。

管理她的过敏并不是你的责任。然而，既然这是一个定期聚会的社交团体，表达你的关心并询问她是否需要帮助，是一种简单而好客的姿态，可能有助于整个团体以及这位成员的福祉。

亲爱的先生： 我有一个侄女和一个侄子，他们现在都已成年。

我和二姐多年来一直询问他们是否收到了礼物，以及他们是否在生日、节日、成绩、旅行或其他场合收到了礼物。

这是一个多年来我和姐姐多次讨论的话题。

当我成为曾祖父时，我给曾侄孙女送了生日和节日礼物，这种模式一直延续到她。我确认礼物已被收到。

今年，我再次询问侄女，我10的曾侄孙女是否收到了礼物，并以轻松的语气与她交流，她却给我发了一条恶劣的短信。

她还表示不希望我再寄礼物。

此外，我两年前病得很重，几乎无法自理。那段时间，我没有收到任何电话或短信询问我的情况。

我决定更改我的受益人，将原本属于她的遗产转给另一位一直保持联系的姐姐，她会来看望我，邀请我去她家，并像家人一样对待我。

我停止给曾侄孙女和今年出生的曾侄孙送礼物，是否做错了？

到10岁时，孩子应该学会说“谢谢”。

亲爱的资源： 你可以自由决定将财产留给谁，出于任何理由。在这个问题上，如果你选择不再给曾侄孙女和曾侄孙送礼，你并没有错。

虽然你的曾侄孙女是个好孩子，但我并不认为“逼迫”她为上一份礼物道谢是你的风格。你的不满实际上并不在于孩子，而是在于她父母没有教会她表达感激。你的矛盾完全在于他们。我还认为，你的侄女只是问题的一部分。更大的问题似乎是他们对你、家人和先生缺乏关心。

听起来你已经对此有了一些常识性的判断，但更直接地表达你希望如何融入他们的生活，并看看这是否是你想要的，可能会有所帮助。

重要的是，当亲人露面、报到、表现出常识，并表达关怀和关切时，这对你来说很重要。他们可能愿意也可能有兴趣参与进来，也可能不会。

在继承问题上，更好的做法是明确你希望这笔钱能发挥什么作用。因此，人们可能会因为试图改善关系而变得更加积极或产生归属感。

如果你希望这笔钱能为侄孙女和侄孙子做些什么，不妨先思考一下在你行动的同时，如何处理与他们的关系，并让这些考量和结果指导你未来的规划。

《泰德·拉索》开启新赛季冒险

教练重返里士满，塑造“灰狗女队”。

罗伯特·劳埃德 《洛杉矶时报》

历经三年，《泰德·拉索》重返赛场。

泰德·拉索在标题为“ft-titled”的最终季结局中似乎已画上句号。令人惊喜的是，几乎每个角色都迎来了令人满意的现代式升华——那些不太满意的结局同样可信——同时也为观众留下了自由想象的未来空间，或是更有趣的延伸。当然，你也可以写有趣的同人文。（人们确实这么做了。）我喜欢这部剧，但它的缺席并未让我感到痛苦。

无论如何，它已回归Apple TV+，且足够长——至少目前看来——这是一次全新的冒险，就像一部《夺宝奇兵》电影接续另一部，杰森·苏戴奇斯（饰演泰德）重返里士满，执教一支新的女子秘密球队。这支球队早在第二季结尾就已初露端倪，如今已“酝酿多年”。

故事现状如何？明星球员杰米·塔特已离队，全职投身演艺事业；曾与泰德竞争主教练之位的“十号舒勒”也不知所踪。但正如他曾对整个AFC里士满俱乐部所言，这是一个美好、受欢迎的转变。泰德回到密苏里州堪萨斯城陪伴儿子亨利后，由珍·特纳接任经理一职，而教练“品牌”（霍尔顿·布兰德饰）近来变得沉默寡言，令人失望。最新的剧情发展虽引人入胜，但部分忠实粉丝可能更希望故事保持原有的世界观。

本季共10集，其中2集已提供评审。第一集在某种程度上是个障碍，剧情设计略显牵强，将泰德从堪萨斯城带回里士满，他在那里“努力帮助（亨利）成为最好的自己”，同时兼职担任一家超市的助理经理。

问题是，泰德是否正在成为最好的自己。每次他意识到这一点时，答案都是否定的。

自然，他四处散播阳光，展现自我，但这并非第三季结局所暗示的未来，也不是观众期待的发展——当时我们看到他执教亨利的足球队（瑞安·乔夫），并有回归的迹象。

于是，俱乐部老板丽贝卡·沃尔顿（汉娜·沃丁厄姆饰）、运营总监莱斯利·希金斯（布伦丹·亨特饰）、州长斯威夫特及全员营销团队凯莉·琼斯（朱诺·坦普尔饰）亲自登门，提议泰德执教“灰狗女队”，“为你曾与我们男队共同打造的里士满文化奠定基础。”（显然，他一直没查看信息，直到三人亲自上门拜访。）

除了让角色各就其位，本集的大部分内容似乎旨在满足展示堪萨斯城的冲动——这在剧情中显得有些突兀。泰德穿着沾满污渍的衣服为丽贝卡执教时，镜头切换到CPKC体育场——“世界首座完全由私人资助的女子足球专用体育场”——观看堪萨斯城潮流队的比赛。

发现美国爵士博物馆闭馆后，希金斯看起来像是被“双重放逐”一般，漫步至第10街的黑人军团棒球博物馆，一位友善的馆长（米尔顿·卡特饰）向他讲述历史，包括一张萨奇·佩奇的照片。镜头中出现了奇特而意外的纪录片画面（希金斯感慨：“这让我想到英国女性被允许踢球的历史，但一年中只有一半时间。”），而希金斯则被一句精准的“密苏里式”回应打断：“先生。”

“他们这样做不是为了名声或更好的待遇，”他们这样做是因为“如果不踢球，生活将不可想象。”他说道。正如AFC里士满前锋丹妮·鲁伊斯曾说的我们“上半场的第一天”。

事情在第二集中有所好转（并自此持续改善），这一集终于将我们带回里士满。

泰德并非真的对沉闷的堪萨斯城感到厌倦，他轻松地提议让亨利和他的母亲米歇尔（安德烈娅·安德里饰）一同前往，这一提议几乎过于顺理成章。

与前三季的全员“死亡”氛围相比，泰德需要一个新的魅力对象，而这将是教练爱丽丝·奇尔顿（塔尼娅·雷诺兹饰）——她原本希望经理能成为一个更好、更年长且更有人情味的人，但或许因被忽视而感到合理的冒犯。

雷诺兹注定会成为本季的明星，她通过克制的表演给人留下深刻印象，几乎完全用眼神演绎，或是不由自主地露出一抹微笑。这种表现力极为出色。在球员中，我们的注意力被布茨（裘德·穆克饰）吸引——

我们注意到她是因为她剪短的头发，以及她是球队的“守护神”，她快言快语，生活态度洒脱：“大公爵的名字可不是白叫的”（这已成为她的口头禅，比如“戴手套”）、“如果不想让事情变得糟糕，就别去碰它。”布茨在另一处表达了剧集中常见的情绪：“如果生活中没有冒险，那活着还有什么意义？”

卢西（托尼·默里饰）因积极参与各种想法的讨论而脱颖而出，她比其他人年长且更成熟；而杰玛（阿比·赫拉饰）则因对爱丽丝怀有未解的信仰，以及与泰德一样曾与球队交谈过，而显得与众不同。

当然，这一切的不变主题将被强调——一个新成立的球队，身处次级联赛，更衣室里不会有“老油条”，这一刻可能带有性别歧视色彩，也可能反映了现实中对新战争的态度。

固有的主题——如丽贝卡和基利所体现的——并非毫无道理地占据了大量篇幅。文中提到“她可能不是同类”——与扮演她母亲的哈丽特·沃勒展开了一段有趣的对话——而新的厄尔曼则在第4集中登场。

邪典喜剧的“特殊秘诀”

《超级骑警》三部曲续写不变的友情

杰克·科伊尔 美联社

25年对于胡子规则和喷雾狂欢来说是一段很长的时间，但《超级骑警》必须让简单的友情快乐成为病因学的出口。

喜剧团体“破碎蜥蜴”（Broken Lizard）由一群在科尔盖特大学相识的大学好友组成，他们在2005年的《超级骑警》中取得突破。这部成本不足$1的电影由杰伊·钱德拉塞卡（Jay Chandrasekhar，兼任导演）、凯文·赫勒曼、史蒂夫·莱姆斯、保罗·森恩和赛克·德肖克斯饰演一群幼稚的佛蒙特州州警。三度失利的布莱恩·科伊（Brian Coe）扮演他们脾气暴躁的上司。

这部电影意外成为邪典经典，通过VHS和DVD录像带赚回的收入是院线收入的数倍。罗杰·布伦特（Roger Blunt）不情愿地称其为“一种让你感觉比看起来更好的电影”。

并非所有电影看起来都像是为了赚钱而拍，但《超级骑警》确实如此。对“破碎蜥蜴”来说，电影与“超级”系列之间的区别几乎不存在。他们仿佛在实现每一群大学好友的梦想。这部电影讲述的正是这种友情，几乎像是电影中的“特殊秘诀”。森恩表示，这份友谊已持续30年。即使最优秀的演员阵容也无法复制！森恩可能会犯错，但团队成员会让他反思。这部电影也是如此。

“也许阿尔·帕西诺会喜欢它。”

“破碎蜥蜴”一直坚持创作，尽管时间跨度长得让人不适。在此期间，大制作喜剧已逐渐式微，因此他们的道路并不总是顺利。他们迎合观众的口味。春季是他们自2005年《超级骑警》后首次回归《超级骑警2》。

随着《超级骑警2》如今在影院上映，他们再次以墨镜、宽边帽和——当然——胡子的形象回归。与《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》和《奥多姆》等大制作大片同期上映，《超级骑警4》将努力守住自己的一小片市场。

“能和大学好友一起拍摄2部电影，这在演艺圈算是一种遥不可及的梦想，”钱德拉塞卡说，“我们从没想过能走这么远。”

《超级骑警》并非“破碎蜥蜴”制作的第一部电影。1996年，他们发布了《Puddle Drones》，一部完全在科尔盖特大学校园拍摄的喜剧。这部电影并未在当天大获成功，因此他们对《超级骑警》的唯一期望是能在某个地方、任何地方上映。Around 5km，他们在纽约演出并巡回大学校园。公路旅行激发了这部电影的灵感。

“我们经常被警察拦下。当你看到警车时，你会聊很多零食，”莱姆斯说，“但当他们靠近车时，你立刻进入亲吻模式。我们总是好奇警察在想什么，他们知道自己对我们有多大权力，以及他们能对我们做什么。”

电影中最著名的场景之一是莱姆斯和森恩两位主演在给吉姆·库利根开罚单时，玩了一个游戏：他们必须用“never”代替“new”说10次。多年来，他们听到无数故事，从警察到飞行员都在模仿这一桥段。

“我的一个朋友是联合航空的飞行员，他说空中交通管制通信系统并不像电影中那样有趣，”钱德拉塞卡说。

“破碎蜥蜴”逐渐意识到，《超级骑警》已经通过交通拦截和流媒体服务渗透到文化中。有时，它甚至帮助他们化解尴尬。这部系列始于23年前。

“我曾以每小时120英里的速度被拦下。警察看了看车窗，问：‘先生，你有没有看过《超级骑警》？’我看过。莱姆斯笑着说。最后，警察拿出罚单本，要求合影，然后——”

凯文·赫勒曼（左起）、保罗·森恩、史蒂夫·莱姆斯、杰伊·钱德拉塞卡和赛克·德肖克斯于7月23日再次出演佛蒙特州州警，参演电影《超级骑警2》。该系列第三部电影是一部始于23,年前的特许经营作品。CHRIS FIELDS.COM

他的手在颤抖。我在罚单本上签了名，确保自己没有签到第三行。我们在路边合了张500万的照片。”

这部电影的“蜥蜴”组合成员如今都已年近80年代末（即86–89岁左右），但他们之间的相处模式几乎没有变化。他们依然像角色那样互相打趣——尤其是海勒曼的造型（被形容为罗德尼·帕瓦的翻版）——但这种亲密感对某一类朋友圈来说再熟悉不过。

这一点在最近的一次采访中也体现得淋漓尽致。当时“断腿蜥蜴”组合的杰伊·钱德拉塞卡正在进行一次横跨全国的宣传巡演。（其中一站是印度）在登上长途广播节目时，他还不忘吐槽一起乘船的经历。

“我们都有家庭和各自的生活，但每次聚在一起，就像回到了夏令营。”海勒曼说。

《超级警察》上映25年，意味着他们已经在“尿液”梗上耗费了无数个月。他们通常会直接分享这些梗，但为了宣传新作，又不得不重新捡起来。“制片方，”海勒曼说，

“觉得那些尿液梗才是这部电影的明星。”

与《超级警察》共同生活的日子，也让他们收获了更深远的影响。第一部电影在印度的走红并非长期的想象力作秀。对此，他们一致认为，自己现在已经太老了。

“从那以后我们只干过一次这种事，”钱德拉塞卡摇头道，“这可不是什么好主意。对健康也没好处。”

“我们会去做一些采访或脱口秀之类的活动，”莱姆斯补充道，“每次走进房间，偶尔看到其他人也带着枫糖浆瓶子，心就开始往下沉。”

在《超级警察5》中，时间也带来了变化。故事中，他们终于有了第一辆电动警车，这一设定竟意外成为剧情的核心。约翰·奥宾根（Cecilia Spaggy饰）即将退休，而科尔则在HBO剧集《Necromous》大获好评后回归《超级警察》——这是他最让人意外惊喜的银幕角色之一。“他带来了分量感，而这正是好事，因为有了一个真正的演员在场，我们反而显得更荒诞、更滑稽了。”森恩说，“他还会提前彩排，因为我们几乎连站位都记不住，而他却极其专业。这让我们不得不努力表现得像样一点。”

但故事的主线还是围绕钱德拉塞卡饰演的“理论”拉马丹展开，情节堪称恶毒。他的哥哥森恩（Hannah Simons饰）与帕瓦坠入爱河。在重新设计（re478ign）筹划婚礼的过程中，“理论”使出浑身解数破坏这段关系。“这部电影里我们到处撒狗粮，”莱姆斯说，“这是我们拍过最甜蜜的电影。”

不过，让这群人始料未及的是，《超级警察》竟然拥有了如今这样的生命力。

“乔治·卢卡斯当初拍《星球大战》时也没想过要拍三部曲，但它大获成功，就像《超级警察》一样，”莱姆斯说，“所以我们现在也在拍三部曲。”“我们想要复兴那种老式的、B级片风格的美国院线喜剧。这就是我们的使命。”钱德拉塞卡说。

金斯伯格），当天活动将以埃里克·马丁（芝加哥大学）主持的宪法专题小组讨论收尾，马丁是宪法领域的权威人物。

20世纪80年代是一个短暂的时代，有哪些名字值得铭记？在海德公园，你还可以与丹尼尔·埃文斯见面，这位刚刚凭借小说《魔法小镇》（Magic Town）获得普利策奖的作家将率先探讨一些原始性的问题——比如如何从错综复杂的局面中抽身而出（这是小说《#Shahd》的主题，该作品的背景设定在20世纪80年代），以及如何行动（围绕2023年的惊悚小说展开）。

接下来是重量级作家比阿特丽斯·霍夫尔，她因与“邦戈斯”乐队的合作而闻名，届时她可能不会唱起过去的低调旋律，而是以一场关于鲸鱼的演讲拉开人文节秋季季的序幕，时间定于9月14日在旧教堂（Old Church）的帕克音乐厅。

创意写作本身也将成为多场活动的焦点。芝加哥本土广播节目《美国生活》（This American Life）的主持人艾拉·格拉斯将深入解析其中一期节目，该期节目讲述了中间选举期间一名高中生在特拉维夫的失落经历（10月5日，梅塔文中心）。10月10日，芝加哥第三海岸国际音频节将在当代艺术博物馆举办表演及讨论，主题是他们与电子音乐作曲家吉姆·B长达十年的合作。几乎无法避开与大卫·林奇合作的话题，届时将有至少两场对话涉及：凯尔·麦克拉克伦将于9月30日（梅塔文中心）现身，另一场则是11月14日在旧城民间音乐学院举行的“发自内心”对话。音频环节中，安德烈·蒙蒂·佩利森·埃里克·艾德尔（10月4日，西北大学）将以“谈话与合唱”的形式分享他与知名合作者的故事，同一天，本地喜剧演员杰夫·加伯（10月4日）将与拉里·戴维一起回顾多年的喜剧生涯。与往年一样，本届节日活动将主要分为三个地点的单日主题活动：西北大学日（10月4日）、海德公园日（11月7日）和皮尔森日（9月28日），后者将在萨利亚·霍尔（Thalia Hall）举办连续两场文学盛宴——艾米莉·圣约翰·曼德尔（《第十一站》）之后是马龙·詹姆斯（《七次谋杀简史》）。此外，普利策奖获奖剧作家布拉德·基布勒（《敲打上帝》，10月4日）、普利策奖获奖小说家芭芭拉·金索沃（10月17日，弗朗西斯·帕克学会）以及约翰·格林（10月4日）的加入，使得本季作者阵容堪称顶级。

然而，无论讨论的主题是什么，2024年的政治氛围自然而然地将在多个场合成为沉重的话题。

皮尔森日几乎可以算作一场关于拉丁文化的单日课程，届时将有现象学家兼策展人拉蒙·埃尔南德斯探讨蒂姆·门（Tim Men）的推广活动（通常与彭德、森恩等乐队相关），以及莫利诺（Mollino）关于芝加哥拉丁音乐演变的分享；还将有一场关于芝加哥摄影的小组讨论，以及摄影师Morris & Reeves就数十年来芝加哥与洛杉矶之间的贫瘠地带（及更多年份）的联系展开的对话。11月7日，年度训练营策展人苏珊·德克尔将深入探讨性别的起源。

随着政治话题直白地浮出水面，芝加哥的大卫·阿克塞尔罗德（他还将主持一场“联盟9”活动）将成为重量级人物。皇家图书分会的“颠覆与阅读”项目将于9月27日启动。魔法系列将探讨最高法院（10月4日），而娜奥米·克莱因与电影制作人阿蒂·泰勒则将讨论末日政治思维（9月30日）。

此后，你可能需要长长地散个步。

值得庆幸的是，皮尔森社区（9月26日）的公共艺术和书籍主题步行之旅、约克街的西北大学创意门户建筑漫步（10月4日）以及海德公园（11月7日）都提供了多条步行路线。让芝加哥的门户变得重要：罗尼·弗雷。一如既往，这是一个活跃的人——“一个人文主义的二十人团”，帕茨说。沙漠之地带来了变化。尽管她已被任命为节日总监，但这已是很久以后的事（休-贝克于11月离职前往密歇根州立大学任职），艺术凝视着我们，它是致命的，而我们却渺小。克莱德，如此多的规则：“我对它了如指掌，见证了它在无数时代中的挣扎。”她说。但我们正在努力让其日益老化的观众群略微年轻化——如今的单次参与者年龄段已向前推进（forwardship），她见证了节日增设春季活动，与原本规模庞大的秋季节日相呼应，也见证了节日从季节性系列发展为全年持续运营的模式。

“我想要分享的是再次感受到真正的节日氛围，”她说。

意即，一个有真正开端、更接近本季样貌的节日。政治、艺术、音乐、音乐会和社区，你曾见过那转瞬即逝的美好时刻。意即，结尾：“我希望人们能再次对它充满期待。”

芝加哥人文秋季节将于9月14日至11月16日在多个地点举办，更多活动信息请访问chicagohumanities.org。

《最后一栋房子》中家庭力量的信息在散乱的剧情中迷失

作者：Dominic Baez（UATTA，TIMES）

《最后一栋房子》这部Netflix新推出的科幻惊悚片，看起来前景可期。影片讲述了一个家庭——由总是令人信服的李（Lee）和Wagner Minors饰演——被困在一栋房子里，遭遇超出他们理解的力量。

日复一日，周复一周，甚至月复一月，冰箱里的食物逐渐耗尽，获救的希望渐渐演变为一种新的、多重绝望。然而，尽管影片不时让你对外界发生的事情保持兴趣——那些无情的窗户和门外到底有什么？为什么雨一直下个不停？他们能活下来吗？——但《最后一栋房子》同样经常让你感到困惑。

由路易斯·拉韦涅（Louis Laverne）执导、马修·罗宾逊（Matthew Robinson）编剧的这部以西雅图为背景的影片——开场镜头中标志性的太空针塔显然是这座城市唯一可辨识的特征——似乎缺乏真正的焦点。影片中不乏各种元素，但这些元素从未能凝聚成一条清晰的主线。

一旦他们被困在家中，雨开始无休止地倾泻（这里本可以拿西雅图的天气开个玩笑），父亲杰森和母亲安（分别由Minors和李饰演，也是《最后一栋房子》中最出彩的部分）向孩子们强调了家庭和韧性的重要性。但这一信息的传达却显得笨拙（由于执行上的偶然性，很难与一个如此冷静、镇定且能干的家庭产生共鸣，他们竟然花了数周时间才意识到无法外出的问题）。

影片中也有关于社区和如何对待与我们共享这个星球的生物的信息，但这些同样显得支离破碎。随着食物耗尽的威胁和困住他们的神秘力量变得愈发紧迫，这些信息也逐渐被抛诸脑后。

甚至连后者的问题——这不仅仅影响这一家人和这栋房子——也让人感到混乱：一分钟前还紧张刺激，下一分钟就完全让人摸不着头脑。

不过，影片的视觉呈现在一定程度上缓解了叙事上的笨拙。社区的场景通常拍得很美，尤其是与水和阳光的互动（有些时刻，影片似乎想用刺眼的亮光让你眼花缭乱，但我赞赏影片没有跟风将一切拍得过暗以至于看不清发生了什么）。一个手绘日历以惊人的奇思妙想记录着时间的流逝，充满了童趣般的美感。而这栋房子本身也仿佛成了家庭的一员，与他们一同经历磨难。（建议：确保你的DVD收藏不止"the first time"和"Santa"）。

然而，《最后一栋房子》似乎并不知道自己想成为什么。除了Minors和李饰演的父母为保护孩子不惜一切的精彩表演外，影片既没有令人难忘的时刻，也没有超越“家庭力量”这一陈词滥调的深刻内涵。

这是一个重要的信息，但在《最后一栋房子》中，它却被其他一切水分过重的元素所淹没。

星座运势

如果8月12日是你的生日：与2026年上半年不同，今年剩余时间对你而言似乎利多于弊。本月，你可能有机会直面恐惧，并在最深层次上释放许多恐惧——从恐惧中解放，迎来全面的自由。

阿伦（3月25日-4月19日）：利用未来几天的有利状态处理事务；下周初会有一个低谷，你需要避开。

金牛座（4月20日-5月20日）：家中某些事物可能会引发焦虑，但几天内不会带来任何新问题，高峰强度仅持续数小时。

双子座（5月23日-6月20日）：今天可能会迎来一阵清晰洪流，记下任何可能不易记住的内容——这些信息在未来可能具有价值。

巨蟹座（6月23日-7月22日）：可能需要处理财务问题。如果你确实保持完全清醒，那么采取行动应该没有问题。

狮子座（7月23日-8月22日）：有真实的自我表达，这可能是纯粹的体验；也有需要产生影响的时刻，这是一种更以向上为导向的需求。

处女座（8月23日-9月22日）：今天的主题仍是自我修炼，可能会实现头脑与心灵、理智与神经系统、内在成人与内在孩童的真正整合。

天秤座（9月23日-10月22日）：朋友之间可以通过团结、建议、真正的相互理解、共同调节以及可行的tanz来互相帮助。

天蝎座（10月23日-11月21日）：不要仅用表面思维敷衍了事，带着真诚和关怀去行动，结果会大不相同——如果没有投入，就不会有回报。

Sophianus（11月22日-12月21日）：不要轻信你读到的一切——同时，也要为自己发布的内容负责。不要让网络世界用恐惧毁掉你，它就是为此而设计的，但你不必接受或买账。

摩羯座（12月22日-1月19日）：尽管今天有积极的惊喜，但今天并不适合做出财务决策、购买或投资。过于情绪化或焦虑可能会影响判断，导致局面失衡。

水瓶座（1月20日-2月19日）：基于清晰做决定，而非基于恐惧。今天与亲近的人的关系可能带来清晰或恐惧，或两者兼有。如果是清晰，今天就是采取行动的好日子。

双鱼座（2月19日-3月20日）：今天的道路是平稳的自动扶梯，还是坑洼的搅拌器、破碎的沥青？可能两者兼有。尽可能重新掌控，必要时谨慎前行，只是不要让恐惧主宰你的思想。

教皇帽之夜自成一景

迈克尔和辛西娅·科斯塔尼达周二上午在奥耶尔大厅目睹了这场暴雨。他们有些疑惑，不知道该如何为白袜队主场的教皇帽之夜做准备。

“这里遭遇了龙卷风，”辛西娅说，“我们得清理树枝，疏通下水道……”

“但我们决心要穿上这些服装，”迈克尔说。这对夫妻决心打扮成教皇利奥的模样参加球队赠品活动，无论是龙卷风、蝗灾还是被淹的高架桥，都无法阻挡他们。周二晚上，他们身着配套的白色法衣、假冒的披肩和金白相间的教皇软帽现身。

吉姆·埃尼斯在冠军赛教皇帽领取队伍附近等候，也想和科斯塔尼达夫妇合影。

迈克尔简直就是教皇利奥的翻版。众所周知，利奥在芝加哥长大，成为全球最著名的白袜队球迷。球队市场营销主管迈克尔·多尔韦想出了赠送教皇帽的点子，结果吸引了100万球迷前来领取。

“我觉得教皇会欣赏这个活动，他会看到有多少人爱戴和尊敬他，我们在芝加哥用这种方式表达对教皇利奥的爱，”辛西娅说。

在决定前来之前，迈克尔问妻子是否会冒犯教皇。

“答案是不会，”她说，“我觉得他很有幽默感，如果看到我们，他会开怀大笑，因为他知道我们只是在传播他的精神。”

教皇帽之夜自成一景，甚至盖过了排名第一的白袜队与辛辛那提红人队之间的比赛。这场比赛是1919年世界大赛的重演，当年白袜队故意输球，史称“黑袜丑闻”。此后，白袜队64年未能再夺世界大赛冠军，似乎缺少某种神圣的……

小熊队投手报告

老将蒂尔巴面临挣扎

作者：梅根·蒙塔穆罗 《芝加哥论坛报》

华盛顿——在芝加哥小熊队64岁的“菜鸟裁判”陷入挣扎之际，卡莱布·蒂尔巴仍可选择保持冷静。

在小熊队与华盛顿国民队的三连赛前，蒂尔巴已连续15场出场未送出保送，自6月29日以来未出现过5年一遇的失误。

“哦，太好了，这个话题不能聊，”蒂尔巴在周二系列赛开赛前半开玩笑地说。

保送数量的减少是为数不多的亮点之一，蒂尔巴的表现并不稳定。

在这15场出场期间，蒂尔巴的防御率为2.50，共失10分，被击出18支安打，其中包括五支本垒打。这一阶段最令人困惑的地方在于，他的基础数据与2023年出色的表现大致相同。他仍在三振击球手——在最近的12又2 / 3局中三振了15人——且平均快球速度较去年提升了0.5英里 / 小时。加上三振与保送比率的强劲表现，蒂尔巴本应取得更好的成绩。

“我真的尽量不去深究，”蒂尔巴周二告诉《论坛报》，“因为我知道三振率和保送率与成功高度相关，但现在就是不奏效！我也不知道。我猜我只是想坚持到情况好转，不至于失去理智。这大概是最重要的事。”

与去年相比，蒂尔巴本赛季的表现更为稳健。

即兴对抗中的“良性攻防”

作者：肖恩·哈蒙德（Sean Hammond）与布拉德·比格斯（Brad Biggs） 《芝加哥论坛报》

带着几分谦逊，芝加哥熊队周二下午在哈拉会堂（Hala Hall）的训练场上寻求一些答案。

约翰逊教练表示，有些训练课的重要性和可获取的信息量比其他课程更高。周二的训练早在训练营开始前就已被标记在日历上，预计将营造出类似对抗赛的氛围。

教练组在周一晚向球员们提供了比赛计划，以备应对即兴系列对抗。效果如何？进攻组在训练初期占据明显优势，但随着时间推移，防守组最终主导了局面，整场训练在1小时54分钟后结束。

“攻防之间的对抗很精彩，”四分卫卡勒布·威廉姆斯（Caleb Williams）说道。

教练组和管理层将从这场复盘中获取的信息——这一过程将占据他们周三的大部分时间——将决定周六在军人球场（Soldier Field）对阵克利夫兰布朗队的季前赛首秀中，哪些球员上场以及上场时间。

“这些对我们至关重要。谁能在不知道接下来会发生什么的情况下快速反应？”约翰逊说，“谁能做出调整？现在的重点是建立信任。不仅是对教练组的信任，也是对彼此的信任。”

“我们有了一些新面孔，也经历了一些人员流失。我们的防守后场会有一些球员——”

接C-1版

此前为我们出场次数不多的球员。谁能帮助他们？谁能在面对这类情况时为他们提供支持，比如一些战术呼叫？我期待看到一些领导力的展现！”

凯勒斯·威廉姆斯观察

在模拟赛前预警——让新人了解周六的例行流程后，熊队直接进入短码距离，仅四种情况，七号约翰逊和他的团队需要在2025年的攻防两端都有所提升。

跑卫D'Andre North从右侧一个巨大的缺口突破，完成29码的"penumbra-blowing feast"，四分卫Caleb Williams通过假动作轻松推进约8码。随后，Kyle Monongue从右侧另一个巨大通道突破，跑出23码。Monongue在对阵二队防守时再次完成长距离推进。

当比赛推进到1码线时，防守端有所改善。安全卫Anthony Johnson成功盯防右侧的Colman Loveland，阻止了一次假动作传球。防守内锋Grady Jarrett和Dean Oakesignie联手协助安全卫Dillon Thinneman在1码线完成防守。

在另一轮进攻中，Williams与Kelli Raymond完成了一次右侧屏障传球。Raymond在Denzel Wright和Jonah Jackson的掩护下推进25码，完成"iron blahers"。

随后，在6:00的1码线进攻机会中，Williams向右侧滚动——在中场时间——并将球传给了右侧泄漏的三名球员。Oksion摆脱Thanneman的防守，完成69码推进，这是首次"first-knit"进攻。Williams随后与四号本地球员Scotty Miller再次完成大幅推进，Josh Blackwell在防守端回防。

“我们希望拿到两个首攻并控制球权，”Williams说。“整体目标是让球进入比赛状态。有些人可能会认同这一点。”

在69码线的终场局面模拟中，进攻组在16秒倒计时下四次进攻未能成功。Williams在首次进攻中让Raymond完全空档，但传球从他头顶滚过。第二次进攻中，Raymond接到7码后撤传球。第三次进攻中，线卫Glenn Rush和Jack Sullivan将Williams逼出左侧口袋，导致第四次进攻中Williams未能命中Loveland。

季后赛“焦点I”：吉德里克·威利斯

左截锋位置的轮换在前10次训练中体现得淋漓尽致，当天的表现与他最近的状态如出一辙。也就是说，在左截锋位置，熊队的排序是？熊队 vs. 琼斯或朱迪 & 小威尔斯或基兰·阿马加吉塔。

琼斯的表现一直最为稳定，但他在8月6日早些时候的训练中因轻微脚踝受伤而缺席。这为威利斯和阿马加吉塔在首发阵容中提供了机会。周二，威利斯在首发阵容中获得了大部分上场时间。

威利斯在2020年选秀中被克利夫兰布朗队以第10顺位选中，可能在周六对阵老东家的前10次进攻中获得大量上场机会。这位17号标签球员在去年因严重膝伤缺席整个赛季后，正努力重启职业生涯。

熊队对威利斯进行了一次"one-ride shot"，他的身高和臂展（6英尺10英寸，290磅）易于使用。他的移动能力似乎也在逐渐恢复。在周日的沃尔特·佩顿中心训练中，确实出现过几次他启动较慢的情况，这在接下来的几周内有望改善。

未来几个月的前期和联合训练将对确定深度表排名和目前各队之间的"或"关系大有帮助。

所见所闻

二队进攻在训练末段的终场局面模拟中表现依然不佳。Owen Bogart沿左边线深传，但由于接球手重新加入进攻，这似乎是一次"nine-annual action"，安全卫Taylor Thomas有了更多选择。训练早些时候，Bogart被首发替补David Rush抄截。

此外，线卫Jon Khatigan在中区回收了Dontse Manning在跑卫Rawlins身上造成的失误球。Johnson和线卫在1码线完成抢断。

伤病与参赛情况

约翰逊周二宣布，安全卫科尔·布莱恩特将缺阵四至六个月，这一数字令人失望，且基本符合预期。

安全卫卡姆·刘易斯在周六后首次回归训练。刘易斯周二的参与程度有限。

后卫小卡莱布·罗金 III 和扎申·托马斯（来自史密斯和杰伦·琼斯的新秀）、外线卫韦恩·马修斯 III 和德马科·杰克逊、进攻内锋凯尔·纽曼、布兰顿·琼斯和乔丹·麦克法登，以及防守端锋蒙特兹·斯威特均未参加训练。

布莱恩特手术后将缺阵4-6个月

肖恩·哈蒙德 《芝加哥论坛报》

熊队安全卫科尔·布莱恩特周五接受了左膝受伤手术，将缺阵4至6个月，主教练本·约翰逊周二宣布。

最初的报道显示布莱恩特将避免手术，预计缺阵10周，但约翰逊此前未给出官方时间表。目前的预后比最初报道的更糟。

布莱恩特在8月3日的训练中膝盖受伤。根据约翰逊的时间表，布莱恩特最早可能在12月回归。他也有可能缺席整个赛季。

这对约翰逊的防守来说是一个重大打击。“科尔是我们希望球队如何比赛的完美典范，”约翰逊说。“他在进攻、防守和特勤组的表现，以及他的职业道德、心态和态度，我们都非常喜欢。这确实让我们倒退了一点，但也为其他球员提供了填补这一空缺的机会。”

布莱恩特在帮助球队上赛季闯入超级碗后，于3月与熊队签下了一份3.年、价值4000万美元的合同，并有望与首轮新秀迪伦·辛尼曼搭档担任安全卫，此前老将凯文·布莱恩特 III 和雅克·布里登在自由球员市场离队。

随着布莱恩特的缺阵，老将防守后卫卡姆·刘易斯可能会与辛尼曼搭档首发，尽管刘易斯也在处理伤病。刘易斯在过去6个赛季中为布法罗比尔队出战了74场常规赛，并在休赛期与熊队签约。

熊队还可能寻求老将安全卫以利亚·希克斯的帮助，他目前因肩伤无法参赛。希克斯在过去4个赛季中为熊队出战了64场常规赛，主要在特勤组。

周五，熊队签下了另一位老将安全卫卡伦·伍兹，他曾在9个赛季中为4支球队出战154场常规赛（21次首发）。

加利莫尔、贾勒特一致认为：防线需要速度

作者：菲尔·汤普森 《芝加哥论坛报》

在芝加哥熊队训练营开始时，防守截锋内维尔·加利莫尔和其他新加入丹尼斯·艾伦防守体系的队友不得不完成40次起跳训练——这是一种老式训练，球员原地跑动，深蹲后迅速起身。

他完成了28或30次时，听到资深防守助理教练比尔·约翰逊说：“再来10个……”

“然后腿开始变得有点沉重，”加利莫尔说，“哨声响起，我以为结束了，但教练还在喊‘多佛’。所以我们完成了。我们完成了。”

加利莫尔表示没有人抱怨，也不能讨价还价。这是他三月以五年合约加入熊队时，这位前印第安纳波利斯小马队球员所签约的内容的直接入门。

“我在联盟打了七年球，还没有在训练营开始时做过40次起跳训练，”加利莫尔说，“所以如果这还不能唤醒你，让你知道这是标准，我认为这很棒。这实际上是团队建设的好方法，尤其是在防守端。”

加利莫尔正努力在防守截锋组中站稳脚跟，该组还需要证明自己能比上赛季产生更强的压迫性传球冲击。熊队上赛季的四分卫压迫率排名第27（25.2%），平均起动时间最差（5.92秒）。

老将领袖格雷迪·贾勒特表示，提升冲击速度的关键在于改变“在争球线上的思维方式，我们的做法是，以及你如何利用球的起动——推动球的起动——真正投入到下方的对抗中”。

加利莫尔对此深表赞同。“我认为我们在训练营中最大的收获就是快速决策，迅速行动，”他说，“我认为这就是我们在进攻点的方式，没有任何犹豫

!

芝加哥熊队新防守老将内维尔·加利莫尔在三月的视频访问中发言。CHRIS SWEBA / 《芝加哥论坛报》

在进攻点决策时，只需确保你有主要、次要选择，并确保你有自己的足球。”

本赛季的防守轮换阵容应该足够深厚，足以形成冲击力。

“我认为共同努力肯定会带来一些成功，”贾勒特说。在深度上，保持身体状态，规划谁能打出类似风格的防守，并知道我们可以重新调整到边线，然后重新投入战斗。

“而且我认为团队的游戏性将提升每个人的个人表现。”

加利莫尔补充道：“我认为我们会让很多人感到惊讶。”

格雷迪·贾勒特和贾勒特·多克托四世将继续担任首发。加利莫尔和罗斯托142a·斯特里特正在竞争更积极的轮换位置——这正是安德鲁·比林斯上赛季的角色。

斯特里特上赛季的表现——16次擒杀和压迫率——优于加利莫尔，但加利莫尔在生产力上更胜一筹；更多步数（40对斯特里特的8）

和标记次数（9对斯特里特的2）。

与此同时，熊队在第六轮选秀中选中了乔丹·范登伯格，并在自由球员市场签下了詹姆斯·林奇。

德罗·奥克西尼是一匹黑马，为熊队提供了一名能在防守前线灵活移动的三技能球员。

“他能灵活地打两个边锋位置，在需要冲击时内移，这让我们在冲击时有了另一个临时选择，”贾勒特说。

贾勒特曾在亚特兰大与斯特里特共事过两个赛季。

“我过去常开玩笑，我叫他‘标准’，因为当我想知道如何完成一个训练时，我会看他怎么做，”他说。

贾勒特补充说，像斯特里特一样，加利莫尔身材高大，善于解释，并在更衣室内带来了大量压力。

“他是一个极具竞争力的家伙，”贾勒特在谈到加利莫尔时说，“在日常运作中，你可以看出他的劲头，他绝对是更衣室的活力源泉。”

就像起跳训练一样，加利莫尔正努力融入新的文化。

加利莫尔在谈到熊队时说：“没有共识。这里的每个人都只懂橄榄球。”

“所以到目前为止，作为一个热爱这项运动的人，我认为自己最好的橄榄球状态还在前方，我会继续保持这种信念。我认为没有比成为这支球队的一员更好的团队了。”

尽管熊队用一项令人筋疲力尽的训练考验了他的耐力。加利莫尔表示，在本次训练营之前，他上一次做“上下起伏”训练还要追溯到大学时期的盖兰尼斯。

“不过，那简直就是惩罚，”他笑着说，“当时是训练营中期，气温300度，进攻组和防守组全力对抗，从传球开始，然后拼抢，最后做了大约50或60个（上下起伏）。然后我醒来时已经泡在冷水浴缸里了。”

“所以九轮过后，我以为我们已经结束了。但没想到，40个上下起伏又找上了我。希望现在我们已经结束了。”

萨利文

来自C版

干预的盒子经常出现，以至于他们最大的粉丝在梵蒂冈。

但内心的约翰·萨利文是“上帝之灵”的创始牧师。在我们跟随他前往南荷兰，以及在他教堂举行的众多以“耶稣有荣誉感吗？”为主题的礼拜活动中，他的答案是“你”。他说，虽然你在《圣经》中看不到任何加分项，但精神性也是人性的一部分，每个人都喜欢偶尔来个好船长。

这一页不同，我们可以假设他来自芝加哥。有个原因让他无法在喜剧领域占据主导地位。这个城市喜欢笑，也能自嘲。

我原本以为盒子会把等候服务生的工作交给媒体，但每次像在亨普斯特德的圣约瑟夫老教堂那样的个人考察，最终都只能应付炎热的天气和生意。

凌晨1点在梵蒂冈，当比赛开始时，我们不确定教宗利奥是否在他的CHSN应用上观看比赛，并对死亡之夜或戴着纸帽的晚会发笑。

于是我们询问了最近的人，曾在芝加哥高地的玛丽安天主教学校任教的玛丽·A·索博克修女。

投出第一球的玛丽·A修女说，教宗利奥会欣赏这种美。

“他说这都是为了把人们聚集起来，”她说，“如果你要传达一个信息，并让人们分享。你把人们聚在一起，你不知道会有什么结果。可能会发展成友谊、对话......我认为他会喜欢。”

他在遭受你的困扰。博耶做不到。我不知道教宗利奥是否知道这个推广活动，但知情人士说“他正在关注《告诉我你的想法》的一切”。幸运的是，这意味着他知道周五经理威尔·尤的失误，以及盒子反弹并从CBN手中夺回胜利。

博耶说，盒子想为他们著名的粉丝做些“同样体面”的事，他们放弃了为教宗利奥制作双面音乐的想法，因为管乐队被认为非常体面。

盒子是否需要得到梵蒂冈的许可？

“我不知道盒子是否会喜欢这个世界，我们不会在帽子上使用（教宗利奥的名字）。”博耶说。

那么优先级是什么？

“礼仪，”他说。

博耶认为这是历史上最多人参与的推广活动，尽管他无法确定。前老板比尔·瓦克西尔在2020年的埃斯基摩派对老科米斯基公园比赛中是个赌徒，风险在于他们都想离开家。

这无疑是自1979年迪斯科破坏之夜以来最成功的盒子推广活动。与史蒂夫·达尔及另外两位最初的球员一起，坐在等候区直到被一楼的飞行教练赶上床，他是同一历史中的好人。那次推广活动围绕炸毁唱片和分发纸帽展开。

那是一个不同的时代。

博耶说，盒子原本计划推出2,500顶教宗帽的特别促销，但这些门票很快售罄。他们将数量增加到4,000顶，其中包括1,000顶帽子——但仍然不够每个人都有一顶，包括水区。

但对吧？然后你还得戴上特制的教宗利奥帽。总是如此。

如果上帝允许，盒子是否会在2021年重新推出这个活动？

“这肯定在考虑之列，”博耶说。

有人建议推出一辆管乐队移动车。

是否会有过度吸引的时刻？去年我们有了“男人之夜”，还有在塞尔比公园的管乐队。也许盒子正在利用他们与管乐队的联系，而我们并不认为管乐队是上帝赐予盒子营销部门的礼物？

“显然，我们希望能够得到对这一位置的尊重，”博耶说道。“当时有很多这样的情况。”于是，当我摆脱了流血和类似的事情后，“我们决定不再沿着这条路走下去。但‘管道’确实是彼得·索恩（Peter Son）理想生活的一部分。他是个好人。”我确信这对芝加哥白盒（White Box）和白盒人（White Box man）来说无疑是一个值得骄傲的点，我们不会回避这一点。

投手教练称新秀们拥有“新鲜而强劲的臂力”

作者：拉门迪·波普 《芝加哥论坛报》

当白盒投手哈根·史密斯得知自己将在周日比赛进行约一小时后登场时，当时比赛已因常规延误耽搁了2小时。

“当时我只是在等待，看看我们什么时候能开始。”史密斯在周日说道，“我在力量区稍微活动了一下，只是想热身，保持状态。”

“到了特定时间，我们就出去热身，进行投接球练习，然后上了投手丘。”

史密斯是2024年选秀大会的第5顺位新秀，在大联盟首秀中对阵辛辛那提超级狂飙队，投出了两局无失分的表现。他三振三人，四次保送，未在第二局和第三局的投球中失分。

球队最终以5比3获胜，史密斯被记为胜投。

“从小就一直梦想这一刻。”史密斯说道，“尤其是被选中后，就一直期待首秀，能够做到真的很酷，也是一个特别的时刻。”

小熊队

来自C版

他于2025年在派克县（巴里）的罗尔斯进行了周日首秀，时间为2:20，目前年龄18。他在对阵皇家队的胜利中，面对3名击球手完成了一局无安打的全新表现。虽然他的强打球率本赛季达到了职业生涯新高9%，较上赛季提升了近9个百分点，但在对阵骄傲队的比赛中，他没有让任何强打球形成安打。

“这很难说是朝正确方向迈出的一天，但至少没有球被打出围栏，而且面对的还是一些相当出色的击球手。”萨德尔说道，“我不会过多考虑第二场比赛。回家好好睡一觉，第二天带着良好的心态回来。”

随着小熊队寻找答案，部分问题可以归结为投球指令不够精准，太多留在攻击区的球被击中造成伤害。

小熊队需要萨德尔回到2021年时的状态，当时他是球队最佳救援投手之一，并表示在高压局面下缺乏可靠的选择。被允许的本垒打对萨德尔来说尤其成问题。他本赛季在20局的投球中已被击出职业生涯新高的本垒打数。2021年他在明尼苏达双城队效力时，在64局的投球中表现出色。大部分伤害来自他的最佳球路和马林鱼队。

在萨德尔的三振与保送比以及投球相似度矩阵中，与2025年相比有80%的相似度，主教练克雷格·康纳夫和三名先发投手“很难确切弄清楚”是什么导致了新的结果。

“那么你就转向更软的球路。我们是否在叫对投手？我们的投球顺序是否……”

史密斯和队友新秀坦纳·麦克杜格尔是2名最新被召入大联盟名单的球员，他们于周六被叫上。

“他们在夏洛特（小联盟）的表现非常出色，”投手教练扎克·罗在周日比赛前表示，“新鲜而强劲的手臂从牛棚中出现，这样我就不必总是依赖牛棚。”

“哈根在85时速的球路中做了一些微调，比如增加了切球和投球节奏——这些细节能让他找到好的位置。”

罗在周日讨论了最近的一些新援。

距离小熊队通过交易从马林鱼队引入老将先发投手路易斯·卡斯蒂略已过去一周多时间。这位右投手在周四对阵波士顿红袜队的四局比赛中被击出两支安打，送出两次三振和1次保送，比赛地点为大美利坚棒球场。他计划于周三对阵辛辛那提红人队进行第二次小熊队首秀。

“他的前几局表现绝对有亮点，对吧？”罗在谈到卡斯蒂略的首秀时说道，“快速球真的很棒。老实说，看数据线可能不太好看，但很多都是弱接触，对吧！显然，本垒打对他不利，但我们对他的表现感觉良好。他刚刚结束一个出色的春季赛季。显然，我们很高兴他能加入球队。”

未来几场比赛中，卡斯蒂略可能会有更多变化。

“因此，路易斯显然同意增加变化球，但也许还需要在面对右打时增加明显的变化。”罗说道，“我认为这其中的部分原因是，作为一个非常优秀的组织，他们培养投手，但他们绝对偏重滑球。这是否意味着他们天然地更倾向于推动滑球，因此需要理解这一点，并在比赛前做好准备。我认为随着变化球的增加，你肯定会看到攻击性的提升。”

被召回的豪泽·雷诺兹于8月2日从比赛顶峰回归，周日比赛中他投出了1又1 / 3局，送出三振并保持无失分。

“他的滑球和变化球都是实打实的。”罗说道，“这家伙渴望投球，渴望表现。他非常……”

“说得对！我们的指挥体系是什么样子？”科纳诺夫说道，“这就是我们正在解说的两个优势，也是我们试图释放的东西。我的意思是，他投得和以往一样劲。投球的形态塑造了个人。他正在三振对手。他没有保送击球员。这些都是极好的迹象，通常也是你最担心的事情。被击出本垒打确实是个问题。”

“我知道凯莱布会迅速调整好的，我们会继续在关键比赛中使用他，因为在某些情况下，他将成为我们最好的教练。”

菲尔·马顿本赛季回归存疑，因部分髌骨韧带撕裂

资深后援投手菲尔·马顿仍抱有希望能在本赛季重返赛场。

但他的膝伤不仅仅是久治不愈的髌腱炎。

马顿正面临部分髌骨韧带撕裂，这让他能否在赛季末回归充满重大疑问。他的膝伤此前被多次标记为同一问题，这是他7月20日第三次进入伤病名单的原因。随着赛季深入，小熊队目前对马顿的依赖程度正在下降。

去年下半赛季效力于三重游骑兵队时，膝盖酸痛首次加重，马顿当时仍能带伤上场，尽管可能已接近极限。

“并没有急性损伤引发膝伤。”马顿告诉《芝加哥论坛报》，不过他坦言在2025赛季结束后曾对右膝进行影像检查，以评估是否有进一步损伤。但马顿表示，他当时并无理由认为问题超出酸痛范围，可能只是赛季使用导致情况恶化。

马顿在休赛期的训练计划中未出现问题，11月下旬与小熊队签下两年合同前的14天媒体见面会上也未见异常。然而，春训开始两周后，右膝再次出现问题，导致他三次无法出手。影像检查最终显示部分髌骨韧带撕裂。

7月21日，他接受了富血小板血浆注射，马顿和球队还需一到两周时间决定是否尝试复出。目前他已能在平地投球，但尚未登上投球丘。到8月下旬，膝盖的消肿情况已允许恢复力量训练。目前尚不清楚球队是否会在休赛期采取相关程序以加快康复进程。

希顿·加勒特感激新机会

迈阿密马林鱼队在波士顿的加勒特已度过职业生涯的10年。

在2026, 2026赛季的新秀月选秀中，小熊队在8月1日交易截止日前将加勒特收入麾下。加勒特形容过去一周“充满了临时抱佛脚”，但很高兴能在赛季末段加入球队，并表示棒球运营总裁霍耶尔的邀约及赛季剩余阶段的规划让他信心大增。加勒特说道：

“有过很多交流……他会融入得很好。但目前我们仍需依赖‘姐妹’和‘变化’。”

球队期待史密斯和麦克杜格尔进一步增强牛棚实力。

两人被召回大联盟，而戴维·桑德勒和诺亚·舒尔茨被下放至三重A夏洛特队。舒尔茨是球队2022年首轮选秀，本赛季在10场出场（均为先发）中取得1胜4负，防御率4.00。他投出了64's局，三振19次。算上三重A和大联盟的表现，他本赛季总共投了64's局。

“诺亚，如果只看局数，对吧，过去几年的伤病让他几乎没有完整的赛季。”罗威说道，“他才21, 岁，但这些都是成长的一部分。不过他在这里确实展现出了‘这小子可能会很厉害’的闪光点，只是还缺乏稳定性，而且可能缺乏一些一致性。”

“诺亚显然是我们未来的重要一员，但要合理利用他在查尔斯顿的时间，专注于特定训练。同时也要适应赛季的艰苦，并达到160局的投球量。”

“被交易并不意外。”加勒特上周五表示，“但我尽量不去多想，显然我也不确定自己是否会去到小熊队。所以我只是在等待结果，对目前的安排感到满意。”

加勒特因在2025赛季接受第二次汤米·约翰手术而缺席整个赛季。他表示今年早些时候重新找回控球能力是“比赛中最棒的部分”。

“花了一些时间才弄明白，但现在真的已经调整好了。”加勒特说，“我感觉自己是一个寻求对抗的投手。我看到数百万人都在关注，但我也喜欢挑战对手，快速完成投球，我们可以坚持到我力所能及的程度。”

周四，科纳诺夫与加勒特交谈时向这位29岁的投手传达，目前他正为小熊队提供投手保障，但无论他在大联盟的时间多么短暂，都可能具有价值。加勒特最终仅被召上大联盟参加4场比赛，随后在周六对阵南区球队的比赛前被下放，为先发投手克莱·霍姆斯腾出大名单位置。

科纳诺夫认为，让加勒特了解小熊队的投球理念及他们对其未来的规划非常重要，因为尽管他在最后七周内可能不会扮演重要角色，但小熊队仍认为他可能成为明年球队的耐心投手之一。

“他的过往成功绝对是其中一部分原因。”科纳诺夫在谈到加勒特的经历时说，“然后他受了伤，现在我们正在见证他从1的状态中复出，他为此付出了不少努力。但我们认为他正进入一个非常好的状态。他今年在3A表现非常出色，我们对此持乐观态度。”

VW30 选择默里而非麦卡锡担任首发四分卫 维京人队选择迈克·默里（Mike Murray）而非 2.2 麦卡锡（McCarthy）担任首发四分卫，兑现了主教练凯文·奥康奈尔（Kevin O'Connell）此前承诺的“真正竞争”。奥康奈尔于周二下午训练前宣布了这一决定，让默里在常规赛于 9 月 13 日开赛前获得一整周与先发进攻组的全时训练。奥康奈尔和总经理内兰·托德（Nelan Toadey）在 economy 与两名球员会面，讨论了这一决定。“我来这里不是为了尊重任何人的决赛资格，我只是想来竞争，”默里在训练后说道。“我非常感激这一过程是如何处理的。”29 岁的默里在 NFL 七年职业生涯中为卡罗来纳黑豹队（Carlimids）出战 47 场首发，两次入选职业碗，并以独特的乐趣态度创下 3,000 码职业传球码数纪录。作为 2000 年选秀状元，他与维京人队签下了 1 年 revenue insurance salary 合同，将成为球队连续第四个赛季揭幕战的第四位首发四分卫，此前三位分别是麦卡锡、萨姆·达诺德（Sam Darnold）和里奇·克罗斯内（Rich Crossne）。21 岁的麦卡锡是 2024. 第 10 顺位新秀，伤病限制了他仅有的 10 场首发。

特朗普力挺因凡蒂诺遭强烈反对

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普为国际足联（FIFA）主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）辩护，后者因计划将世界杯等赛事股权出售给私人投资者而遭遇强烈批评，特朗普警告各足球协会若罢免因凡蒂诺将铸成“大错”。特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳的弟弟、其投资公司 Thrive Capital 及大卫·考夫曼是一项 2500 亿美元 Billion 提案的核心参与者。特朗普周一在 Truth Social 上发文称：“FIFA 若以任何理由考虑更换主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺，那将是一个可怕的错误。”批评者周一发布了一封“致足球大家庭的公开信”，称因凡蒂诺的失败提案是“对体育全球管理机构所服务机构的根本性背叛”。信中还写道：“当信息通过欺骗传递，当个人将自己置于授权他的集体之上时，这不是放弃，而是背叛。”欧洲足联（UEFA）上周表示，其成员仍可能抵制 FIFA 赛事，包括世界杯。

英国车手再创陆地极速纪录

唯一一位驾驶汽车突破音障的人周二再次刷新世界纪录，展示了英国在动力领域的实力。英国车手安迪·格林（Andy Green）驾驶一辆由两台氢内燃组合发动机驱动的汽车，配备触媒转换器和 2,600 马力，时速达到 405,333 英里，创下该类别纪录。国际汽车联合会（FIA）这一国际汽车运动管理机构确认了这一成绩。这位 66 岁的退役英国皇家空军飞行员驾车冲过终点线，将其命名为“多燃料超级汽车”（Multi-Eurocar）。“动力强劲、操控灵活的火车头，1.0 英尺长的汽车发动机确实比工厂的 JCB 设备更多变，”他说。这些发动机改装自该公司用于低空飞行器的发动机，配备 1,000 马力 / 磅的锻造活塞，并配备 1000 马力 / 磅的锻造活塞。周二的成绩远未接近总体陆地极速纪录，该纪录仍由 1997. 创下。当年在内华达州黑石沙漠，格林驾驶“推进号”（Thrust SSC）创下了 765,038 英里 / 时的绝对纪录。

纳什维尔泰坦队新封闭式体育场建设持续推进。这座耗资 21 亿美元 billion 的场馆预计将于 2026 年 2 月完工，是截至 2021 赛季前计划完成的 10 座 NFL 新建或改建体育场之一。GEORGE WILKER / ICAP 2026

成功的蓝图？

球队优先考虑重大赛事和球迷，建设新体育场或改造现有场馆

作者：马克·朗 美联社

NFL最新的体育场不会长期保持这一头衔。

另有九支球队正在进行各种大型场外建设或翻新工程，总成本将接近250亿美元。

超过三分之一的联盟球队在最近几个月或几年内完成了场馆升级。这表明在当前体育时代，球队正努力提升整体球迷体验，并迎合高端市场需求。至少在即将进行的改造中，所有项目都将包含某种拆除或遮阳结构，且九支球队的场馆都将配备基础设施和俱乐部区域，以吸引更多活动（如女足世界杯、大学橄榄球赛、一年期合同、一年期活动等）。

NFL球队在未来五个赛季中，每个赛季至少会有一支球队启用新建或翻新后的场馆，其中泰坦队（2027年）、美洲虎队（2024年）和布朗队（2024年）已进入2024赛季。指挥官队（2030年）和酋长队（2032年）的场馆建设也已提上日程。

NU橄榄球获乌海林家族5000万美元捐赠

作者：科琳·凯恩 《芝加哥论坛报》

西北大学周二宣布，获得迪克和莉兹·乌海林家族向橄榄球项目捐赠的$50百万美元。迪克曾是当时17家顶级工业供应商的创始人。

这笔捐赠为期三年，将用于“支持学生运动员发展、优先事项、招募工作及战略投资，旨在推动西北大学橄榄球在十大联盟及全国舞台上取得持续成功”，校方在声明中表示。

迪克和莉兹·乌海林在声明中表示，他们效仿了帕特和雪莉·瑞安夫妇的做法，后者的资金支持促成了西北大学耗资$475百万美元的新瑞安球场。他们的孙子马克斯·乌海林来自森林湖，上赛季作为五年级学员担任球队队长。

“西北大学是全国顶尖学府之一，通过其世界级学术项目（包括凯洛格管理学院）培养未来领导者，”乌海林夫妇在声明中表示。“作为芝加哥的多极支柱，我们热爱这座城市，希望看到它蓬勃发展，西北大学亦然。芝加哥热爱体育，我们需要野猫橄榄球保持竞争力。我们很高兴支持大学迈入激动人心的新era。”

西北大学校长蒋明和体育主任马克·杰克逊在声明中表达了感谢。蒋明称这笔捐赠是“野猫大家庭的又一重大里程碑”。

“他们的支持是继续打造一个项目的关键，该项目在提供卓越学生运动员体验的同时，能在大学橄榄球最高水平上竞争，”杰克逊表示。

西北大学上赛季在主教练戴维·布劳恩的带领下以7胜6负的战绩结束，并在季后赛中击败中密歇根大学。野猫队在休赛期通过聘请进攻协调员西蒂·凯利和展示新瑞安球场（将于2024年10月2日对阵瑞安州立大学时启用）提升了关注度。

乌海林家族还是共和党的主要捐赠者，在联邦和州级层面支持政客，并在2022年向伊利诺伊州各类公共事业捐赠超过$92百万美元。他们在科学·贝利的竞选中投入超过$57百万美元，但慷慨之举并未换来一份3, 2015,年竞选周期的行动合同。他们还向联邦竞选活动提供了大额捐款，包括在2024年选举周期中向保守派候选人和事业捐赠$1895百万美元。

贝利曾称他们为“可能是最保守的家族，也许是野猫队的第二大支持者”。在贝利2022年与J.B.普利茨克的州长竞选中，63岁时，他们并未支持共和党候选人普利茨克的对手。

吉诺·甘巴罗塔（Gino Gambarota），这位留着标志性八字胡的传奇切肉师傅，自1983年8月6日起一直在南环历史悠久的曼尼熟食店（Manny's deli）的三明治柜台工作。

咸牛肉传奇

吉诺·甘巴罗塔，芝加哥曼尼餐厅里制作超高三明治的八字胡大师

作者：Louise Kung Liu Chu / 《芝加哥论坛报》

吉诺·甘巴罗塔是芝加哥曼尼自助餐厅及熟食店（Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen）的传奇人物，他留着标志性的八字胡，是这里的灵魂人物。甘巴罗塔是这家创立于1942年的犹太熟食风格餐厅任职时间最长的员工，43年来，他始终以迅捷而风趣的手法，在柜台后制作超高的咸牛肉三明治。而当他偶尔停下手中的活儿时，你或许会惊讶于他的体贴与温和。

以下访谈节选自本报“芝加哥美食偶像”系列，经编辑整理以确保清晰度和篇幅。

问：您的全名是什么？ 答：“小吉诺·詹姆斯·甘巴罗塔。”

问：您的出生日期？ 答：“1935年7月10日。”

问：出生地在哪里？ 答：“芝加哥高地。”

他的母亲丽贝卡·简·甘巴罗塔是法国和爱尔兰混血，父亲是意大利人。

问：您什么时候搬到芝加哥的？ 答：“50年代末。”

由于父亲工作的原因，全家从南部郊区搬到了城里。

问：您的第一份工作是什么？ 答：“我在阿什肯纳兹餐厅（Ashkenaz）工作，地址是莫尔斯大道1432号。”

俄罗斯移民乔治·阿什肯纳兹（George Ashkenaz）和妻子埃达（Ada）于1955年在罗斯福路与卡尔洛夫大道交界处附近创办了这家后来闻名的家族熟食店，最初位于北劳恩代尔社区。他们的儿子让·阿什肯纳兹（Jean Ashkenaz）后来接手了生意，并于1949年将餐厅迁至罗杰斯公园的莫尔斯大道。

“1971年，我凌晨1点和几个朋友在外面闲逛，”甘巴罗塔说，“我们在靠近百老汇大道和阿梅莉街的上城区一家小烧烤店停下，买她的肉饼三明治。我当时问他们是否在招人，柜台后面有人大声喊道：‘你会做饭吗？’我不会。”

“但我还是回答‘我会做饭’，”甘巴罗塔说，“那人说‘那你明天来找我’，写了个地址给我，然后说‘我这儿有份工作给你’。”

于是，这位未来的熟食店传奇人物走进了阿什肯纳兹餐厅。“那人见到我就说‘系上围裙，到柜台后面来’，”甘巴罗塔回忆道，“我就这么快被录用了，简直不可思议，那地方忙得像疯了一样。”

“那是1971年。我特别喜欢萨姆·阿什肯纳兹（Sam Ashkenaz），”甘巴罗塔说，“他是个很棒的人。”

芝加哥经典三明治：希巴里托的诞生

作者：阿尔贾·萨乔 《芝加哥论坛报》特约撰稿人

芝加哥的三明治文化源远流长。这里有浇满肉汁的意大利牛肉三明治，有堆满青葱的麦斯威尔街波兰香肠，还有希巴里托——一种用面包代替两片面包的三明治。

希巴里托夹着牛排、生菜、番茄、蒜味蛋黄酱和奶酪，无疑是芝加哥的代表。它由波多黎各餐馆老板胡安·“佩特里”·菲格罗亚于20世纪40年代在Boringaun餐厅创制，名字源自西班牙语“jibaro”一词，意指波多黎各乡村农民。

“我们有意大利牛肉三明治，有深盘披萨，”Shattray's Mix的联合老板赫苏斯·阿里埃塔说，“而这是拉丁裔社区献给芝加哥的主食级三明治。”

10多年来，芝加哥的波多黎各和拉丁裔餐馆仍在延续这款让希巴里托闻名的配方，同时也有一些餐厅在原版基础上进行创新，融入小汉堡和拉丁美洲各地的风味。

波旁根

早在希巴里托成为芝加哥主食之前，它只是从一份报纸剪报中获得的灵感。在北中心区的Boringaun餐厅，联合老板加布里埃拉·菲格罗亚将希巴里托的起源追溯到她的叔叔，后者在阅读一份波多黎各报纸时首次接触到“平底三明治”的概念。

“他认为这是个好主意，”菲格罗亚说。她表示，家族在波多黎各的根源可能影响了希巴里托的命名和创制。她的家族来自波多黎各山区小镇阿方萨，那里丘陵起伏，风景如画。

20世纪40年代末，她叔叔在芝加哥开设餐厅时，将这款三明治改造成了后来成为这座城市第一款希巴里托的样子。

“他有点创造了自己的版本，”菲格罗亚说，“有点像汉堡，你知道的，生菜、番茄、蛋黄酱、奶酪，然后称它为希巴里托。”

如今，位于西区的Boringaun是菲格罗亚家族仅存的2家餐厅之一。位于洪堡公园的原址和贝尔蒙特克拉金的第二家分店均已关闭。

“我们是唯一剩下的Boringaun，感觉如果我们都放弃了，我们的历史也会随之消失，”菲格罗亚说。

Boringaun的历史也体现在菜单上，多年来几乎没有变化。餐厅的招牌菜品依然如故，小希巴里托与鸡肉和素食选项一同供应。而其他餐厅则……

![NICO SCHMIDT](

《纽约时报》

番茄切达吐司

番茄和切达吐司无需油炸——只需硬皮面包、蛋黄酱、完美的夏季番茄和你能找到的最佳切达奶酪。关键在于制作方法，能让这道菜从好吃变得极致。与其使用切片奶酪（可能不新鲜）且口感单一（或铺满凝结的奶酪），不如借鉴克里斯·克雷默在《值得为之赴死的节俭》一书中提到的中等质地技巧，将细磨的切达奶酪拌入蛋黄酱中。当涂抹在热烤面包上时，奶酪会融化成奶油状底料，介于杯子蛋糕和无胡椒皮门托奶酪之间。它保留了浓郁的切达奶酪风味，却以柔滑可口的形式呈现。

制作： 4 片吐司 总耗时： 10 分钟 - 2 个中等大小的番茄，切薄片 - 盐 - ½ 杯蛋黄酱 - ½ 杯（2 盎司）细磨的特浓切达奶酪 - 4 片硬皮面包

1. 将番茄摆放在盘中，撒上盐。将蛋黄酱、切达奶酪和少许盐搅拌均匀。
2. 按喜好烤制面包。面包热好后立即涂上切达蛋黄酱。（多余的蛋黄酱可冷藏保存最多 2 周。）放上番茄片即可享用。 —— 食谱由 All Staple 提供

南方炒玉米

南方炒玉米源自非裔美国人的烹饪传统，保留了新鲜玉米粒及其天然甜味。这道菜通常使用刚剥下的新鲜玉米粒，并保留玉米芯内层的“乳汁”——即玉米芯内壁的乳白色液体，能让菜肴在不添加任何奶油的情况下呈现轻盈奶油质地。与洋葱和辣椒一同炒制后，玉米粒吸收了新鲜风味，最后加入培根和切碎的青葱，使这道配菜集甜、咸于一体，完美无缺。

制作： 4 至 6 人份（5 杯） 总耗时： 20 分钟 - 6 根新鲜玉米 - 4 片厚切培根，切成 ¼ 英寸小块 - 2 汤匙无盐黄油 - 2 个大型青葱，切碎 - 1 茶匙盐（如使用 Diamond Crystal 盐，则加 ¼ 茶匙） - 1 茶匙烟熏红椒粉 - ½ 茶匙新鲜黑胡椒 - ½ 茶匙白砂糖 - 2 茶匙玉米淀粉 - 1 个（½ 盎司）罐装烤红椒，沥干切丁 - 2 根大青葱，切薄片

1. 用刀从每根玉米上切下玉米粒（约 4 杯）。然后用刀的平面或小勺的边缘刮擦玉米芯，收集淀粉质“乳汁”。弃去玉米芯。
2. 在大号不粘锅中用中火加热培根，偶尔搅拌至酥脆，约 10 分钟。将培根转移至铺有厨房纸巾的盘中。将多余油脂倒入耐热小碗，锅中留约 2 汤匙油脂。
3. 在锅中加入黄油融化。加入青葱炒至软嫩，约 3 分钟。
4. 将火力调至中高。加入玉米粒、预留的淀粉乳、盐、红椒粉、黑胡椒和糖。频繁搅拌，至玉米变软并略带焦黄，约 3 至 7 分钟。
5. 在小碗中将 ¼ 杯水与玉米淀粉混合，搅拌至均匀成浆。
6. 将浆液加入玉米混合物中，不断搅拌至浓稠，约 1 至 2 分钟。
7. 加入熟培根、烤红椒和一半青葱，加热 1 至 2 分钟。撒上剩余青葱即可食用。 —— 食谱由 Mille Peaches 提供

墨西哥柑橘腌制烤猪肉（POC CHUC）

酸橙味浓郁且带有烟熏气息的 poc chuc（一种既焦香又带有大片肉质的菜肴），源自墨西哥 Kautzkin 州的玛雅风味菜肴，其名称意为“在火上烤制”，需高温快速烹饪。传统做法是将薄切猪肉浸泡在酸橙汁中腌制。本食谱采用多种柑橘汁混合，既延续酸橙的风味精髓，又能让肉质鲜嫩多汁。这种简单美味的烹饪方式适用于多种猪肉部位，poc chuc 可搭配豆类、米饭、玉米饼、腌洋葱、卷心菜和牛油果一起食用。

用量： 4 至 6 人份 总耗时： 30 分钟，另需至少 4 小时腌制 食材： - 2 磅无骨猪肩肉（或使用薄切无骨猪排，见备注） - 1 个橙子和 1 个酸橙的细磨皮（可选） - 8 瓣蒜，细磨 - ½ 杯橙汁 - ½ 杯葡萄柚汁 - ½ 杯鲜酸橙汁 - ¼ 杯白醋或白葡萄酒醋 - 1 汤匙粗盐（如 Diamond Crystal 牌）或 1½ 茶匙细海盐 - 2 茶匙黑胡椒粉 - 2 汤匙菜籽油，另备少许用于烤制

配料（非必需但推荐）： 热玉米饼、黑豆、腌红洋葱、切丝卷心菜、牛油果片、橙子或酸橙角

步骤： 1. 如猪肉为大块，可切成几小块。逆着肉纹将猪肉切成薄片（约 ¼ 英寸厚）。

2. 在大碗中混合橙子和酸橙皮（如使用）、蒜、橙汁、葡萄柚汁、酸橙汁、醋、盐和胡椒粉。加入猪肉片拌匀，确保肉片完全浸入腌汁中。加盖冷藏腌制至少 4 小时，最多可过夜。

3. 将户外烤架（见备注）预热至高温，确保烤架干净并涂油。同时，沥干猪肉，弃去腌汁，在肉片上涂抹 2 汤匙油。

4. 待烤架极热后，将猪肉平铺于烤架上，加盖烤制至表面微焦，约 3 分钟。翻面后再烤 30 秒至 1 分钟。转移至上菜盘中。

5. 立即搭配热玉米饼、黑豆、腌洋葱、卷心菜丝、牛油果片和柑橘角食用。

备注： 传统上，此菜使用薄切猪肩肉。可请肉贩代为切片，或在家自行切片。将猪肩肉冷冻 30 分钟有助于切薄。薄切无骨猪排虽非传统做法，但时间紧迫时亦可使用。如无烤架，烤盘亦可替代。 —— 食谱提供：Christian Baynour

桃子脆皮派

桃子脆皮派是夏日的一大乐事，蜂蜜般甜美的桃子几乎不需要额外处理，只需搭配这款黄油脆皮配料即可。选择不适合烘焙的硬桃子，因为过熟的桃子在长时间烘烤过程中会变成糊状。脆皮派中，桃子通常去皮（质地不清晰——可使用标准的½形去核器，无需浸水）。不过，如果你没有时间去皮，也可以保留果皮，做出更具乡村风味的甜点。这款食谱中没有添加香料，但香草、肉桂和肉豆蔻都能与桃子完美搭配。

份量：4人份 总耗时：约2小时 - 3磅桃子（约8个），去皮并切成½英寸厚的薄片 - ½杯白砂糖 - 1汤匙新鲜柠檬汁 - 1汤匙玉米淀粉 - 细盐 - 1杯中筋面粉 - ½杯（压实）浅红糖 - ½杯燕麦片 - ½杯无盐黄油，软化但保持低温，切成小块 - 香草冰淇淋（可选），用于搭配

1. 将烤箱预热至375华氏度，烤架置于中层。
2. 在一个大碗中，将桃子、白砂糖、柠檬汁、玉米淀粉和一撮盐混合均匀，转移至一个8英寸的烤盘（带边缘）中，轻轻压平至约½英寸厚。
3. 在一个中等大小的碗中，加入面粉、浅红糖、燕麦片和½茶匙盐，搅拌均匀。加入黄油，用手指或糕点切刀将黄油切入面粉混合物中，直至均匀混合并形成小块。
4. 将脆皮碎均匀撒在桃子上。将脆皮派烘烤至表层呈金黄色且桃汁冒泡，约4½至10分钟。
5. 趁热食用，可搭配香草冰淇淋。

最新要闻

Wishbone 关闭，Ann Sather 将迁址

作者：扎琳·赛义德 《芝加哥时报》

在 Ann Sather 于东村和威克公园之间开设新旗舰店不到两周后，这家以自制美食闻名的深受喜爱的餐厅宣布了另一项重大举措：将迁回莱克维尤，入驻本周永久关闭的 Stella's Diner 原址。

“莱克维尤的时光非常美好，”Ann Sather 的所有者兼经营者、前老板汤姆·坦纳（Tom Tanner）说道。他在 6 月底关闭了贝尔蒙特大道最后一家分店，该店已在该社区经营了 81 年。

尽管 Ann Sather 的迁址发生在新店开业仅数周后，但这栋关闭的建筑尚未完全腾空。坦纳表示，这笔交易已酝酿多年。

“Stella's 的老板马文·甘塔罗塔（Marvin Gantharota）在 1980 年代曾是一名演员，他曾主动联系我，询问是否有意收购 's，”坦纳说，“当时我已在百老汇街有一处店面。但如今情况不同了。”

坦纳表示，计划于年底关闭位于百老汇街和罗斯福路的 Ann Sather 分店。“我不确定，这次迁入 's 更像是一次搬迁而非扩张。”

's 于 7 月 9 日的卫生检查中未能通过，检查发现厨房内有超过 10 处活蟑螂、9, 处蟑螂尸体、温控储存设备存在问题及其他多项违规。管理人员被要求清除所有蟑螂尸体，并封堵入口底部以防止更多害虫进入。在完成整改后，市政府随后批准餐厅重新开业。

坦纳表示，关闭与检查结果无关。

“问题在于百老汇街和罗斯福路的店面无法满足需求，而莱克维尤出现空缺，让我自然考虑接手 's，”坦纳说。

坦纳表示，'s 将于 10 / 12 / 26 以 Ann Sather 的名义重新开业，地址位于百老汇街 100 年历史的建筑内，目前正在进行修缮。

他计划在约 8 周后开业。

“无论建筑状况如何，这总是一项挑战，”坦纳说，“我们将进行彻底的检查和清洁，并与房东合作完成结构性修缮。我们在 Division 街也做过同样的工作，但那里的状况更好。”

上月，2 日，坦纳将 Ann Sather 长期经营的贝尔蒙特大道店迁至位于 1819 W. Division St. 的前 's 空间，因贝尔蒙特店面被出售给一家计划开发公寓楼的开发商。

坦纳希望能重新雇用 's 的许多员工。

“他们懂得顾客服务，也知道如何烹饪早餐，”他说，“许多人对 's 依依不舍——我并非如此——也有人对 Ann Sather 关闭贝尔蒙特店感到惋惜，我们会尽力让所有人——在能力范围内——感到满意。”

's Diner 的老板拉雷（Rarely）未能联系上置评，但在 Instagram 上发布的一份声明中承担了“过去几周发生的一切的全部责任”。

拉雷还关闭了莱克维尤的 The Bagel Restaurant and Deli（位于 1607 W. Broadway），该店在 6 月 2 日的检查中发现一只老鼠后暂时停业 17 天，并于 6 月 30 日通过复检后重新开业。

“很快我意识到，在芝加哥拥有和经营两家餐厅伴随着挑战和责任，”巴利（Barley）在声明中表示，“我并未轻视经营这些历史悠久的餐厅的特权。表格 1。”

在 Ann Sather 入驻前 's 空间后，Ann Sather 餐厅的分店数量将达到 4 家，至少持续到年底。

's Diner 于 8 月 6 日空置，此前该店因虫鼠问题于 7 月 9 日被芝加哥官方关闭。 安·谢尔特（Ann Sather），《芝加哥论坛报》

贝尔蒙特街的安·萨瑟餐厅已在此地经营了 81 年。这家传奇餐厅最初由安·萨瑟于 1945 年购入，当时名为“瑞典小餐馆”。几天后，店铺被搬迁，并于 1953 年更名为“安·萨瑟餐厅”。坦纳在此后不久与她共事，并于 1985 年接手位于西贝尔蒙特大道 923 号的业务。在初期经营后，他于 1986 年购入了西贝尔蒙特大道 929 号的阿尔法-特雷夫大楼。

在其他餐厅关闭的消息中，位于西怀特曼街 163 号的威士曼（West Long's Whiffman）周一在社交媒体上宣布将永久关闭。“很难用简单的方式告别陪伴我们这么久的事物，”朱尔·萨瑟和哈德·萨瑟在发布于Instagram的声明中表示，“感谢众多本地顾客，以及几代员工的付出，让威士曼成为今天的样子。”

这家深受喜爱的早午餐餐厅已营业 30 年。“我们于 1993 年以 150 万 起步，在预算紧张的情况下，靠着家人的大量借款，当然还有母亲规划的墙面装饰，才有了这家店，”声明写道，“在剩下的日子里，我们希望大家能来坐坐，共进一餐，道别，并帮我们纪念威士曼对我们的家人、员工和芝加哥的意义。”

威士曼以南方风味烹饪闻名，常客络绎不绝。奥普拉·温弗瑞的哈波工作室（Harpo Studios）曾位于隔壁时，这里更是成了热门打卡地。

在 1980年代 年代的一次采访中，1986 年的店主乔尔·尼克森表示：“人们过去常以为这是奥普拉的餐厅。”

即便如此，尼克森当时也提到，“许多名人都是这里的常客”。威士曼永久关闭的具体原因尚不明确，店主也未公布关闭日期，但他们希望能营业至八月底。

标志性人物

选自E1版

所有的光鲜和熟食店的一切，我都太过前卫了。

他就是在那里从一位名叫让的年长同事那里了解到“chazaar”这个词。

“我当时很年轻，以为他是个老人，”甘巴罗塔说。“实际上他比现在的我还年轻。”

当这位长者来到镇上时，甘巴罗塔会拿些萨拉米香肠或其他需要的东西。“他叫我他的小chazaar，我有80周都不知道chazaar是什么意思，”甘巴罗塔说。Chazars，发音类似khaki，意思是贪婪的家伙。“我们有很多东西要保护，他是个很棒的人。”

但给他启发的并不是这位同事。

“有一个叫巴勃罗的家伙，他是个标志性人物，”甘巴罗塔说。“其他人在议论我，他说，‘吉诺想和他一起工作。他会做好的。他不懒。’”

巴勃罗教他如何制作腌牛肉，以及很多生活的道理。

“他给了我一个支持我的人，”甘巴罗塔说。“我就是喜欢这个人。”

位于莫尔斯大道的店面在20世纪70年代关闭。最终，这家人重新开业。他们在黄金海岸开了一家分店，但于2012年关闭。

与此同时，甘巴罗塔在80年代初开始在橡树园的The Onion Bell工作，这是另一家自1954年以来一直营业的历史悠久的犹太风格熟食店。

问：你是什么时候开始在Marny's工作的？答：5, 1952？

他以第一人称的身份进入。肯·兰金在父亲曼尼·兰金于1945,去世后接管了店铺，当时他只有10岁，曼尼在肺癌手术两天后去世。

“我第一天在那里工作时，我知道，站在柜台后面，我要去磨刀，”甘巴罗塔说。“从来没有人为我磨过刀。我从没听说过这个字母，所以就这样继续下去了。有非常好的人可以为之工作。”

问：你制作的第一个菜品是什么？答：“Chazaar患者。”

Manny's的招牌三明治，也是他的最爱，由薄切的自制腌牛肉和部分熏牛肉夹在柔软结实的黑麦面包中，配以穆斯特奶酪，加上俄式酱和泡菜，以及可选但极力推荐的厚实金黄的土豆饼。

问：你的头衔是什么？答：“下一任。”

他通常不会问你是要他还是他们。

“我大概知道大多数人想要什么，”甘巴罗塔说。“如果他们想要稍微淡一点或瘦一点，或者有什么问题，我都会帮他们解决。我就是为了让别人开心。”

他在Manny's还做过其他工作。

第四代店主兼经营者丹·兰金称赞这位资深熟食师在自己小时候教他如何制作三明治。兰金和他的兄弟姐妹在熟食店长大，他的兄弟曾经装扮成吉诺，甚至戴上假胡子。

“丹尼希望我站在顾客旁边，因为顾客希望我在那里，”甘巴罗塔说。“能在那里工作这么多年，我感到非常幸运。我觉得自己能做这份工作是一种福气。”

上个月他刚满70岁。

“我感觉很好，真的很好。我感觉很健康，”甘巴罗塔说。“我照顾好自己。我不喝酒，不抽烟。我回家遛狗，做点园艺。”

他有一只名叫玛丽的拉布拉多犬和一只名叫罗斯的约克夏犬。

“这是我收养它时的名字，”他指着后者说，通常会挥挥手。

“它们都是救助犬。”甘巴罗塔和他在佛罗里达的姐姐有两个孩子，还有一个姐姐已经去世。

“但我在印第安纳州布朗斯维尔的家人都很好，”他说。“我和我的侄子侄女们关系很亲密。我无法形容我有多爱他们。”

问：你最难忘的时刻是什么？

答：“我喜欢见到奥巴马总统和克林顿总统。”

当选总统巴拉克·奥巴马于2008.访问Manny's。这是他当选后的首次公开露面。他点了三个腌牛肉三明治和两块浆果派打包带走。

“有人跟我说‘别带他老婆来’，我有点不高兴，”甘巴罗塔笑着说。“我真的很想见见他父亲。”

不过，他确实见过很多人，提到了动作片演员丹尼斯·帕顿（Dennis Parton）和丹尼·鲁福（Danny Ruffo）、芝加哥熊队传奇线卫迪克·伯林（Dick Burlin），以及芝加哥球员罗宾·西蒙斯（Robin Simmons）和哈罗德·华盛顿（Harold Washington），还有圣卡罗尔周一熊队（San Carol Monday Beats）。

“戴维·阿克塞尔罗德（David Axelrod）是另一位长期光顾曼尼餐厅的常客，也是‘绿金’的司机和政治策略师。‘他就是个大好人。’”

问：作为土生土长的芝加哥人，你能给下一代分享几句智慧箴言吗？ 答：“别吃太多。” pantnam!

“芝加哥就是我说的那样，一个热爱腌牛肉的城市。”甘巴罗塔说，“我也不知道自己想做什么，所以我就是下一代熟食店的人。这就是我的路。”

他还没有拜访过任何新一代的熟食店。

“有一天，我出去的时候，有人给我送了一份罐装牛肉三明治，”他笑着补充道，“我给所有人的建议就是：每天让别人开心。”

你不知道别人进门时经历了什么。“看起来有点闷闷不乐，你也不知道他们发生了什么，”甘巴罗塔说。

“尤其是现在，友善很重要。”这位熟食店老板说，“即使是那些常来的人，我也喜欢和他们聊天。”

这款塔塔酱会让你欲罢不能

作者：克里斯蒂娜·培根

说我爱塔塔酱会不会很奇怪？ 但这是真的，我就是那种会根据塔塔酱来评价一家海鲜餐厅的人。如果尝起来像：我正在吃一勺蛋黄酱，只能打1星；如果酱汁明亮、酸爽且带有脆感，就能打好几星。

这款塔塔酱食谱是五星级的。它的味道比我尝过的任何其他版本都要好。

最棒的部分？这款塔塔酱只需5分钟就能完成，且大部分原料都是冰箱里的常备品。泡菜和刺山柑带来酸味和脆感，欧芹和莳萝增添清新，柠檬汁提供必要的酸度，而蛋黄酱则将所有风味融合在一起。

我喜欢用它蘸脆炸薯条和各种炸海鲜。我甚至还尝试过将塔塔酱与罐头金枪鱼和薄脆薯条搭配食用。它的用途非常广泛。如果你还不是塔塔酱的粉丝，很快就会成为其中一员。

为何你会爱上它

与其他塔塔酱不同，这款酱汁不会尝起来像纯蛋黄酱。我用葱头、鲜香草、柠檬汁、切碎的泡菜和刺山柑等多种食材调和蛋黄酱，这些都增添了明亮感、层次感和质感。

为了让塔塔酱的味道更加入味，上桌前先静置30分钟。这能让各种风味融合并达到平衡。大多数其他食谱不会要求这一额外步骤，但它能带来天壤之别。

关键食材

蛋黄酱： 这是酱汁的主体。由于它是基础，会与其他食材的量产生相互作用，因此请务必使用优质蛋黄酱：

香草： 我喜欢在塔塔酱中加入大量香草，以获得更清新的风味。这款食谱使用欧芹和莳萝，但其他香草如细香葱和龙蒿也是不错的选择。

泡菜类食材： 没有酸味，就不是塔塔酱。切碎的莳萝泡菜和刺山柑能带来咸味和爽脆的口感。

柠檬汁： 只需1汤匙就能平衡泡菜的味道，同时切断蛋黄酱的浓稠感。

实用替换与添加建议

如果厨房里没有葱头，

塔塔酱

分量： 1又1 / 4杯，4至8人份 1汤匙新鲜柠檬汁（约1个中等柠檬） 1个小葱头，切碎（约2汤匙） 2根莳萝泡菜条，粗切（约1 / 2杯） 2汤匙沥干的未腌制刺山柑 2汤匙新鲜欧芹叶、莳萝或两者混合，切碎

1杯蛋黄酱 现磨黑胡椒 1. 准备： 将1汤匙柠檬汁、1个切碎的小葱头、2根粗切的莳萝泡菜条、2汤匙沥干的未腌制刺山柑和2汤匙切碎的新鲜欧芹叶、莳萝或两者混合放入中等大小的碗中。 2. 混合： 加入1杯蛋黄酱搅拌均匀。品尝后用现磨黑胡椒调味。静置30分钟，让风味融合后再上桌。

可用等量的切碎白洋葱代替。

如果想用完一罐甜泡菜调味品，可用面包黄油泡菜或加入一些细香葱代替莳萝泡菜条。

如果使用甜泡菜调味品，先加入1 / 2杯；品尝后根据需要再添加。

为了增加辣味，我喜欢加入几滴我最喜欢的辣酱或一些第戎芥末。

储存与提前制作小贴士

由于塔塔酱是由葱头末和新鲜食材混合而成，它可以在冰箱中保存长达1周。不建议冷冻塔塔酱，因为冷冻和解冻会改变质地。 如果需要减量，这款食谱可以轻松减半。

用蓝莓碎屑蛋糕让假期更甜蜜

作者：Gretchen McKay 《匹兹堡邮报》

海滩度假的最佳部分之一在于“悠闲”环节——脚趾间感受着沙子和海水。

不那么有趣的则是，当你穿着那件破旧的2-3英寸T恤，准备去为假期第一杯咖啡搭配早餐时。

Gretchen的周末外出清单上只有一样东西。我会打包一些在出发前超级容易制作的食物。我知道，它还能在第二天早上作为早餐食用。

预先包装的谷物棒或一盒Cheerios当然能解决问题，但并非所有加工谷物都符合要求。加上100%的肉桂，蒸制品牌黄油来开启假期第一天，如何？

这款食谱为你带来了大量蓝莓和奶油——

![IMG_7444FD3F]

蓝莓咖啡蛋糕是假期早晨的完美早餐。GRETCHEN MCKAY / 匹兹堡邮报

我的蒸制配料仅需约一小时即可完成，且风味十足。它用黄油和酸奶油调制，形成极为松软的蛋糕屑。在将蓝莓放入冷水中清洗以去除泥土或果梗后，最好挑出任何残留的果梗。你还需要挑出任何绿色或微红的浆果——它们还未成熟。

我使用了全脂酸奶油，但低脂酸奶油也同样适用。如果你不太喜欢肉桂，可以根据口味调整用量，甚至完全去掉。

咖啡蛋糕可在室温下保存2或3天，或在冰箱中密封保存长达一周。

蓝莓碎屑咖啡蛋糕

蒸制配料： 6汤匙浅红糖 1茶匙肉桂粉 少许肉豆蔻粉 ½茶匙盐 ½杯通用面粉（用勺子舀入量杯并刮平） 4汤匙无盐黄油，冷藏，切成

蛋糕部分： 4汤匙无盐黄油，室温

¼杯细砂糖 2个鸡蛋，室温

1茶匙纯香草精 1½个柠檬的皮和汁 ½杯酸奶油

1½杯通用面粉 1茶匙泡打粉 ½茶匙小苏打

极少量黄油盐 1½杯新鲜蓝莓（约1 8盎司容器） 糖粉，可选，用于装饰 1. 将烤箱预热至350华氏度。在一个4英寸圆形烤盘上涂抹黄油并撒上面粉。（使用了弹簧烤盘。）

2. 准备蒸制配料：在碗中混合红糖、肉桂、肉豆蔻和盐。加入面粉，然后用糕点切割器或两把叉子将黄油切入，直至呈碎屑状。（我用手指完成。）放置一边，准备蛋糕面糊。

3. 准备蛋糕：在装有桨形搅拌器的电动搅拌机碗中，将黄油和糖以高速搅拌4-5分钟，直至轻盈蓬松。

4. 将速度调低，逐个加入鸡蛋直至混合均匀。加入香草精、柠檬皮和汁以及酸奶油。在另一个碗中，将面粉、泡打粉、小苏打和盐搅拌均匀。

5. 将搅拌机调至低速，将面粉混合物加入黄油中，搅拌至刚好混合。用刮刀轻轻拌入蓝莓，确保完全混合。

6. 将面糊舀入准备好的烤盘中，用勺背均匀摊开。用手指将蒸制配料弄碎并撒在面糊上。

7. 烘烤40-50分钟，直至蛋糕测试器或牙签插入后干净。完全冷却后食用。如需装饰，可在顶部撒上少许糖粉。 ——食谱改编自barefootcontessa.com

这些无需烹饪的乳酪吐司充满明亮风味

作者：Diana Bosson Worthington THEKITCHIN.COM（THE KITCHIN）

外面很热。我要么在清晨凉爽时做饭，要么干脆不做。这就是我如此喜爱这些简单吐司的原因。

不同国家对简单烤面包似乎有不同的称呼，比如 crumbling、tartines。我喜欢黄油，或者将这些酥脆的烤面包片视为承载咸甜配料的“黑色画布”。

如果要招待人多，可以将此食谱加倍或增至三倍。有些口味适合搭配鸡尾酒作为餐前开胃。这些吐司也是夏日午宴的绝佳补充，可能搭配南瓜泥或黄瓜鳄梨汤等经典汤品开场。

咸味馅料尝起来像夏天的味道——白色、奶油、咸、甜和草本香气融为一体。选择全脂乳酪以获得丝滑口感。这里应使用油浸非干燥番茄，因为它们在小块中能提供浓缩的番茄风味。如果你是素食者，可以省去帕尔玛火腿。这种配料也可搭配彩色生蔬菜、你喜爱的饼干或薯片食用。

晒干番茄青酱乳酪吐司

分量： 8 片吐司

• 8 片 8.1 英寸厚的喜爱面包（法棍效果佳）
• 1 杯全脂乳酪
• 2 汤匙（慢处理）或自制罗勒青酱
• 2 汤匙罐装晒干番茄
• 现磨黑胡椒
• 4 片帕尔玛火腿，每片撕成 2 小片共 8 片

装饰： - 晒干番茄细条 - 新鲜罗勒嫩叶 - 晒干番茄油 - 红黄色樱桃番茄

1. 将面包片烤至微焦，约 6 至 8 分钟。放凉。将吐司摆放在盘中。

2. 在小碗中将乳酪、青酱、切碎的晒干番茄和黑胡椒搅拌均匀。

3. 在吐司上舀一大勺乳酪混合物。将帕尔玛火腿条摆放其上，折叠以适应吐司大小。加入喜爱的装饰，食用前淋上少许油。

做成一餐： 可提前 2 小时完成步骤 2。将配料冷藏至完成食谱。

夏末畅饮正宗夏日啤酒

啤酒与柠檬水的完美组合，带来清爽提神

作者：丽贝卡·佩皮尔 旅行笔记：选民：Trefch

每年这个时候，打开一瓶冰镇啤酒的场合数不胜数，但还有什么能比一瓶冰啤更棒呢？这个仅需两种材料的英式酒吧经典饮品——夏日啤酒（shandy），正好能在气温攀升时带来清爽与乐趣。

"shandy"是"shandygolf"的缩写，这种饮品最初由啤酒（通常是麦芽酒）与姜汁啤酒或姜汁汽水混合而成。1916年，英国首次出现了这种饮品的印刷配方。如今，夏日啤酒更常见的做法是将啤酒与柠檬水等量混合，但它依然是酒吧文化中经久不衰的特色。

"第一次点夏日啤酒时，你可能会犹豫，但它绝对不是‘甜腻’的饮品。"迪恩·班克斯说。他是金氏啤酒（King Lager）、木星啤酒（Jupiter）和拉格啤酒（La）的创始人，也是纽约市中心一家新开业的英式酒吧餐厅Dean's的灵感来源。"这是一种‘升级版饮品’，是你第一次品尝正宗啤酒的入门选择。"

在英国各地，你会发现这种简单的啤酒与柠檬水组合有不同的叫法：在意大利叫"panaché"，在西班牙叫"clara"，在法国叫"panaché"。无论叫什么，夏日啤酒的多功能性都广受欢迎。首先，它的两种材料配方让制作变得极其简单。选一个杯子，倒入等量的啤酒和你选择的柠檬水、啤酒或麦芽酒，即可享用。

虽然现代夏日啤酒的默认混合剂是气泡柠檬水，但这种饮品也可以搭配更传统的添加物。"姜汁啤酒会增加一点辣味，并带来更丰富的口感层次，"他说道。"我还觉得这是一种非常英式的材料，所以我们可以用它来玩出很多花样。"在Dean's餐厅，会用自制的糖渍姜片来调制香料味浓郁的柠檬水。在家中，如果无法轻松获得姜汁啤酒，也可以轻松制作经典夏日啤酒。你的柠檬水可以是气泡的或静止的，自制的或瓶装即饮的（注意：气泡柠檬水与啤酒的碳酸结合，能让饮品更加清爽）。如果想为夏日啤酒增添另一层风味，可以加入新鲜水果或少许水果味可可奶油利口酒。选择合适的啤酒则取决于个人喜好。口感较轻、酒花香气浓郁的啤酒与柑橘类混合剂搭配，能调制出明亮、清爽且细腻的口感。口感温和、略带柑橘香的小麦啤酒与混合剂也能完美融合。选择无酒精啤酒则能制作出无酒精但同样美味的夏日啤酒。如果决定使用麦芽酒，建议选择金色或淡色麦芽酒，避免使用琥珀色或苦味较重的品种，因为它们可能会与混合剂产生冲突。无论选择哪种啤酒，都要确保啤酒和混合剂都非常冰凉。

经典夏日啤酒 以啤酒为基底的简单饮品，夏日啤酒为饮用者提供多种混合剂选择：柠檬水、麦芽酒或啤酒。柠檬水让饮品更甜，而姜汁啤酒或麦芽酒则增添香料味和微辣口感。

份量： 1杯 总耗时： 5分钟 1至6盎司冰镇（风格）啤酒，如拉格啤酒 6至8盎司冰镇气泡柠檬水、麦芽酒或啤酒 5至6盎司冰镇气泡柠檬水、麦芽酒或啤酒 2或3盎司冰镇气泡柠檬水、麦芽酒或啤酒

卡辛沙迪 这种现代版沙迪酒结合了啤酒、新鲜柠檬汁、姜汁（ginger-kee）、可可利口酒和胡椒，口感顺滑。选择可可利口酒（一种黑醋栗基酒）时，建议选用法国勃艮第地区的优质瓶装产品，或现代温度型产品，如总部位于纽约的经典品牌。

分量： 1杯 总耗时： 5分钟 15盎司可可利口酒 15盎司干型且口感醇厚 15盎司新鲜柠檬汁 15盎司冰镇（姜汁风味啤酒，如拉格啤酒）2盎司冰镇姜汁啤酒 5至6（干型与柔和口感） 15可可利口酒，干型 15柔和柠檬汁 开始调制。为确保沙迪酒尽可能保持冰凉，调制前将杯子放入冰箱冷冻至少10分钟，最多可达1小时。

这种等比例沙迪酒是夏季长盛不衰的单杯饮品，既能补充维生素C，又能享受新鲜姜汁和啤酒的风味。”No said，“这有什么不值得喜爱的呢！”

秋葵炸丸子，种子口感令人上瘾

作者：Vivian Howard / VORACIOUS

如果说南方有什么“标志性食材”的话，那一定是秋葵。你要么爱它，要么恨它，或者对它怀有莫名的恐惧——这与对南方的态度如出一辙。

没有哪种蔬菜比这小小的豆荚更具争议性了。而真正让人困扰的，往往是秋葵里那些黏糊糊的种子。但我却对秋葵情有独钟。我喜欢用它烹饪，也想改变人们对它的看法。

我不会自诩为“秋葵爱好者”，也不会用它给下一个孩子取名，但我对它的理解和尊重不亚于其他任何蔬菜。我那本《深根》（Deep Run Roots）食谱中的炸丸子，就是用秋葵的外皮做成的，口感无与伦比。它们介于葱油饼和炸秋葵之间，我发现秋葵的纤维质地和植物风味，搭配玉米的甜香爆裂感，既令人愉悦又容易上瘾。

选择大而饱满的秋葵，只使用其肥厚的果肉部分。玉米饼可能会更有效，但我认为炸好的黄油味道更佳。我喜欢直接从煎锅中取出这些炸丸子，配上炖番茄一起享用，但它们在室温下也很适合作为鹰嘴豆泥的蘸料。

这些炸丸子介于葱油饼和炸秋葵之间。

夏季蔬菜葱油煎饼

• 分量： 4人份
• 1杯秋葵，去头去尾，中段切碎
• 1 / 2杯新鲜玉米粒，从玉米棒上切下
• 1 / 2杯西葫芦或净化器，用擦板或食品处理器擦碎
• 2汤匙切碎的葱
• 1茶匙盐，分开使用
• 2汤匙玉米粉
• 2汤匙中筋面粉
• 2汤匙酪乳
• 1个
• 1 / 2茶匙辣酱
• 1 / 2杯植物油

1. 加热至250度。在一个中等大小的碗中，将切碎的秋葵、玉米、西葫芦、葱和1 / 2茶匙盐搅拌均匀。让它们静置2分钟。盐会将西葫芦中的水分析出。这些水分实际上会与秋葵中的水分相同，使蔬菜凝聚成一种带有胶质口感的团块。

2. 加入玉米粉和面粉搅拌均匀。将酪乳、1个鸡蛋和辣酱搅拌在一起，然后加入干燥的粘稠混合物中。搅拌几次后静置至少2分钟，最多可放置1小时，然后准备煎制煎饼。

3. 在一个10至12英寸的平底锅中，加入油，中火加热。如果想要较大的煎饼，舀约2汤匙面糊放入热油中，并轻轻压平两侧，使煎饼厚约1 / 4英寸。如果想要较小的煎饼，则从1汤匙面糊开始。

4. 继续小心地将面糊滴入热油中，确保煎饼不互相接触。用中火煎制煎饼两面，直到呈金黄色。煎好后沥干油分。将煎饼转移到铺有纸巾的盘子上，趁热撒上剩余的盐。在烤箱中保温，同时煎制下一批。

5. 趁热食用。

希巴里托

（）

尝试不同的配料和酱汁，博林肯餐厅仍坚持沿用几十年前推出的版本。

“我们只是坚持最初创造它的传统方式，”皮尼亚托说。

皮尼亚托表示，如今人们会跨州开车甚至飞到芝加哥来品尝原版希巴里托。

“我们从不声称发明了芭蕉三明治，”皮尼亚托说。“我们只是创造了希巴里托，即我们版本的芭蕉三明治。”

■ 博林肯餐厅，2019年，Wisdom大道，773-642-8610。

希巴里托斯及更多

在《希巴里托斯及更多》（Jibartos y Más）餐厅，午餐高峰期来去匆匆。餐厅氛围宁静，服务员穿梭于餐桌之间，端着装有摩隆（molongs）、高杜莱斯（gaudules）和烤猪肉的盘子。油炸大蕉和调味肉类的香气弥漫着整个餐厅。阿曼尼餐桌（Armany tables）是这家餐厅独有的希巴里托（jibaritos）单品，顾客们品尝着里面夹着牛排、鸡肉和猪肉的版本。

在《希巴里托斯及更多》成为拥有多家分店的餐厅之前，它曾是一个想象中的存在，仿佛日常景象中的一部分。

联合创始人赫苏斯·阿列塔（Jesus Arrieta）回忆起他的母亲瓦尔德斯·里维拉（Valdes Rivera），一位委内瑞拉移民，在抵达美国后的多年里一直在芝加哥的波多黎各餐厅工作。里维拉每天上班途中都会经过帕拉顿（Pallacton）和金博尔（Kimball）的街角，梦想着有一天能开一家属于自己的餐厅。

10年后，这一愿景终于在2010年4月变为现实，当时这家人在洛根广场（Logan Square）开设了第一家《希巴里托斯及更多》餐厅。

“我们开业后，生意迅速增长，”阿列塔说，“很快就发现空间不够用了。”

这种增长促使他们在一处农场开设了新店，这家店位于一个被称为“清洁社区”（cleaning neighborhood）的地方，阿列塔正是在这里找到了自己在生意中的位置。从委内瑞拉来到这里后，他帮助将这处空间改造成了一家餐厅，当时他24岁。

“当时只有我们几个人，”他说，“所有事情都得自己做。打扫、备料、服务。”

这些漫长的工作时光奠定了餐厅制作希巴里托的方法。青色大蕉经过软化、切片、油炸、压扁后再次油炸，最后上桌。

餐厅最畅销的牛排洋葱希巴里托在烤架上完成，配以自制的索夫里托（sofrito）混合酱汁，加入醋、香草和香料。新鲜的大蕉、蛋黄酱、奶酪和蛋白质，阿列塔说，这些是一份正宗希巴里托的必备元素。

阿列塔表示，餐厅的顾客来自各种背景，从波多黎各家庭到初次尝试希巴里托的游客。

“我们的顾客是我们生意的动力，”阿列塔说，“餐厅最重要的部分就是确保你以尊重对待每一位顾客。”

希巴里托之家

在芝加哥市中心，行人、家庭与建筑和车辆穿梭于十字路口之间。在繁忙的电脑屏幕间隙，位于沃巴什街的“希巴里托之家”（The Jibartito Stop）从店面里传出波多黎各风味，全天吸引着顾客。

“希巴里托之家”曾多次更换地址，经历过火灾，并推出了一种全新的芝加哥希巴里托（jibarito）制作方式。尽管如此，联合店主乌多·罗德里格斯（Udo Rodriguez）表示，她是第一个这样做的人。

罗德里格斯和她的合伙人索拉娜·普恩特（Soraena Puente）从未计划开餐厅。2012年，在罗德里格斯曾在一家移民律师事务所担任法律助理、普恩特在一家非营利组织工作后，两人决定尝试开一辆食品车。

三年来，他们在卢普区（Loop）售卖波多黎各美食，

随后于2015年在皮尔森（Pilsen）开设了一家实体餐厅。

“我们不知道会怎么样，”罗德里格斯说，“他们会支持我们吗？他们会喜欢我们吗？”

她表示，社区最终接纳了这家餐厅：

“他们一直都很支持我们。” 在皮尔森经营近十年后，餐厅楼上的一间公寓去年迫使他们关门。虽然火焰未波及厨房，但消防员的水却毁坏了店面，导致餐厅关闭近一年。

今年重返卢普区时，他们带回了最初受欢迎的菜品之一——半份希巴里托。罗德里格斯说，这个想法来自那些难以吃完传统版本（使用整个大蕉）的顾客。

“我们是第一个推出全份和半份希巴里托的餐厅，”她说。

这种较小的版本曾被批评“不够传统”，但最终成为顾客的最爱。如今，半份牛排希巴里托是餐厅的头号畅销品。

罗德里格斯表示，食谱仍根植于她家庭的烹饪传统。她母亲的 pollo guisado 是她在家乡时的首选餐点，她形容它为“一碗温暖的慰藉”，并希望将这种感觉带入“希巴里托之家”。她父亲的牛排和洋葱则用于制作牛排希巴里托——餐厅的招牌菜。

“我们希望它吃起来和我小时候的味道一样，”罗德里格斯说。

她回忆起一家七口在看完病后来店里，告诉她这食物尝起来像家里的味道。

“经营餐厅真的很难，”罗德里格斯说，“当你听到这样的反馈时，它会给你继续前进的动力。”

OMARCITO拉丁咖啡馆

位于帕拉顿大道的Omarcito拉丁咖啡馆隐藏在洛根广场的一角，是一家需要费心寻找的吉巴里托小店。餐厅隐蔽的庭院通向一个户外露台，五颜六色的遮阳伞下坐满了热闹的顾客。店主奥马尔·卡德纳（Omar Cadena）有意营造这种氛围。在多年于Calypso Cafe、Punta Muegge & Cafe、Icena和Big & Cafés等餐厅工作后，卡德纳围绕“用餐应当是私人化的”理念打造了Omarcito。

“我们不只是接受你的点单，”卡德纳说，“我们想要了解你。”

这种理念也体现在Omarcito的吉巴里托上，卡德纳通过它展示拉丁美洲的多样风味。他没有沿用传统芝加哥波多黎各三明治的模式，而是借鉴了其他拉丁美洲的影响，包括委内瑞拉的patéies——一种以大蕉为外壳的三明治，他认为这种做法比吉巴里托更好、更受欢迎。

餐厅的ropa vieja吉巴里托将卡德纳的decal de Beef与其他拉丁美洲文化的食材和技法融合，包括萨尔瓦多奶油和厄瓜多尔风味。

对卡德纳而言，吉巴里托是连接拉丁美洲不同文化的桥梁，

“我想通过食物来庆祝它，”卡德纳说，“我认为拉丁裔应当拥有这种共融。为什么我们不通过将它们融合在一起来庆祝呢？”

SMASH吉巴里托

约瑟夫·吉巴里托（Joseph Jibartito）对吉巴里托的诠释始于一个smashburger。在Street Chicken & Biscuits工作后，吉巴里托在疫情期间开始尝试快闪店。2023年，他在洪堡公园的Division街开设了实体店Smash Jibartito，这家餐厅因其创新的吉巴里托而积累了人气。

“我想在汉堡上加入我自己的拉丁风情，”他说。在浏览社交媒体时，他看到用油炸大蕉做成的older boys形状。“那一刻我突然有了灵感。”

如今，这款三明治以成熟的大蕉为外壳，压成圆形并现场烤制。它们包裹着压扁的牛肉饼、美式芝士、自制焦糖洋葱、泡菜和甜酸酱。

在开设实体店前，Smash Jibartito于2023年在芝加哥波多黎各节上首次亮相，吉巴里托向习惯了传统三明治的观众介绍了这道菜。

“所有老派的波多黎各人都是吉巴里托的铁杆粉丝，”他说，“他们会问：‘你怎么能这样对待经典？’”

他的回答是“先尝尝看”。一段在节日上拍摄的视频走红，吸引了大批顾客到摊位前，并迅速售罄。尽管重新诠释了吉巴里托，吉巴里托表示他的目标是“脱颖而出，而非取代原版”。“我永远不会说自己做的是传统吉巴里托，”他说。相反，他会向顾客推荐Borinquen等老牌餐厅。“这样我就能以自己的方式传承和保护这种文化。”

埃里克·怀特帮助儿子伊桑（22岁）调整坐姿，地点位于密歇根州安阿伯。伊桑患有一种名为弥漫性中线胶质瘤的脑癌。ROSENMORTON / THE NEW YORK TIMES

《“注定悲惨的死亡”》

作者：妮娜·阿格拉瓦尔 《纽约时报》

伊桑·怀特（Ethan White）最早察觉到异样是在军乐队的鼓乐排练中。作为密歇根大学行进乐队的一名小军鼓手，他突然无法感受到右手握鼓棒的肌肉。几周前，他还在球场上行进，见证了密歇根大学狼獾队赢得2023年全国橄榄球冠军。

随后，伊桑在上楼梯时绊倒。学校的健康服务中心建议他去看神经科医生。2024年3月，时年24岁的伊桑被诊断出弥漫性中线胶质瘤（DMG），这是一种侵袭性脑肿瘤，最常见于儿童和青少年，但成年人也可能罹患。

DMG是致死率最高的儿童癌症。历史上，确诊患儿的预期生存期约为一年。数十年来，他们面临着相同的有限治疗手段和同样黯淡的结局。放疗能暂时减缓肿瘤生长，改善无力和复视等症状。但患儿最终仍难逃死于癌症的命运。

然而，在过去5年中，研究人员在理解DMG方面取得了重大进展，确定了许多病例背后的基因突变，并尝试针对其影响的疗法。这些治疗远非治愈手段，但似乎能在某些情况下减缓病情，少数患者得以存活数年。

“这是首次出现非零生存率，”加州大学旧金山分校儿童脑肿瘤中心主任萨尔玛·穆阿拉斯（Salma Mualas）博士说。

对科学家而言，这是希望的曙光。但“对于孩子的父母来说，很难感受到希望，”珍·詹斯克（Jean Janeske）说。她5岁的女儿伊兹·卡申（Izzy Cashion）去年被诊断出DMG。伊兹正在参加CAR-T细胞疗法的临床试验，该疗法通过改造患者的免疫细胞来对抗癌症。在女儿确诊前，詹斯克是一名儿科肿瘤护士，偶尔会照顾DMG患儿。“未来现在成了死刑判决，”她说。

DMG——有时与弥漫性内生性脑桥胶质瘤（DIPG，一种常见亚型）互换使用——通常影响5至18岁的儿童。美国每年约有500例新发病例。最早的症状通常是复视、单侧无力或面部下垂，有时伴有头痛或呕吐。通常在确诊后一年内，患者开始丧失运动功能，并出现言语和吞咽障碍。斯坦福大学儿科神经肿瘤学教授米歇尔·莫斯杰（Michelle Mosje）博士说，临终阶段，患儿会逐渐无法活动或交流，呼吸困难。“孩子们在整个过程中始终保持相当清醒和对周围的感知，”她说，“这是一种极其可怕的疾病。”

)

在21世纪初，当莫斯耶首次治疗这种癌症患者时，“它就像一个巨大的黑匣子，”她说，无法通过手术切除，活检也极具风险。从2010年代开始，医生们逐渐掌握了更安全的活检方法。通过患者尸检获得的细胞系，莫斯耶和其他研究人员了解了肿瘤的起源方式和部位。2012年，科学家宣布发现了这种癌症中多数存在的一种突变——这是一项独特的突破。该突变干扰了组蛋白，即细胞内DNA紧密缠绕的蛋白质，犹如鱿鱼身上的甲状腺，密歇根大学神经病理学家斯里拉姆·文纳里博士解释道。伊桑是内部人士，“DNA打开或关闭以开启或关闭基因的方式被打乱了，”他说。在弥漫性中线胶质瘤（DMG）中，细胞陷入促进癌症的状态。

当文纳里试图寻找可能逆转这种突变的方法时，其他地方的科学家正在成人胶质母细胞瘤（另一种致命脑癌）患者中测试一种名为ONC201的药物。尽管该药物在这些患者中整体效果不佳，但发现一名对药物反应良好的患者携带组蛋白突变。

密歇根大学儿科神经肿瘤学家卡尔·科施曼博士及其团队与药物制造商（现名爵士制药）合作，测试该药物是否可能对DMG儿童患者有效。早期试验回顾发现，携带该突变且在初始放疗后接受ONC201治疗的患者中位生存期接近22个月——几乎是典型生存期的两倍。研究表明，该药物主要通过改变肿瘤细胞的代谢来修复病变“病灶”。

莉萨·沃德的儿子在2001年20岁时被诊断为DMG，服用该药物17个月。在此期间，他能够打篮球、上学，并像从未住过院一样与朋友一起观看体育比赛。贾扎于2021年去世。

“每个父母都希望，除了治愈之外，”沃德说，“能够获得最长的无进展生存期，即肿瘤不生长的最长时间，并且生活质量良好。”

当密歇根大学的鼓手伊桑被诊断出患病时，他的父母米歇尔·哈特曼和埃里克·怀特也希望他能拥有这样的时光。但由于ONC201仅在美国通过临床试验提供，这意味着他可能会服用安慰剂，伊桑的父亲开始每三个月前往德国购买当地生产的药物版本，90天的供应量需花费18,000美元。伊桑还服用了另外两种未经批准用途的药物，这些药物似乎共同维持了肿瘤的稳定。

他继续在校园生活，攻读自己的生物学学位。他去滑雪，并加入了科施曼的周五夜攀岩小组。

2025年夏季，美国食品药品监督管理局批准了ONC203（现称为deodoropress）用于治疗当前的DMG。该批准基于一项正在进行的试验，但这是首个获批用于这种癌症的药物。

“对于家庭和医生来说，这非常令人动容，”罗斯·本尼斯说。

“不过，这种药物并非对所有人有效，也不是治愈方法。”科施曼说，“这不是DMG的本垒打，而是一次强有力的安打。”

其他实验性疗法也显示出类似的希望。莫斯耶及其兰福同事追踪了CAR-T细胞疗法能否治愈小鼠的DMG，并于2025年启动了首批人体试验。“我们看到一些孩子在几周内从卧床不起到能够行走，”莫斯耶说。一名在高中被诊断的患者至今已无肿瘤生存超过五年。其他CAR-T细胞疗法的试验也在进行中。

研究人员还证明，另一种称为溶瘤病毒的免疫疗法（通过分裂癌细胞使更多癌细胞暴露于免疫系统）能够延长生命。一名患者在超过三年的时间里未出现肿瘤进展。科学家们现在还了解到DMG细胞如何整合到健康的神经回路中生长并逃避治疗。这为下一步研究提供了依据：如何开始测试现有药物（例如某些抗有丝分裂药物）以破坏这些连接，莫谢说。"如何继续并序贯使用这些药物将需要昂贵的临床试验。美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）已资助了大部分关于DMG的研究，但随着机构成本上升和重大奖项减少，前景已发生扭曲。"

"投资不足正在对女性产生影响。每年几百名儿童看似不多，"贾内斯克说。"但这些家庭注定要面对可怕的死亡，"她补充道。

日本唤醒持久的健身传统

近100年来，广播体操为日本人的健身操拉开序幕

作者：斯蒂芬·韦德 美联社

这就是日本如何通过被称为“广播体操”（Radio Taiso，英语中称为“Rise and Radio”）的方式唤醒全国3%的人口——一种简单而充满活力的日常开端。

每天早晨6点30分，日本广播电台会播放音乐，配合基础健身操的指导语音，数百万人在公园、工作场所、学校——以及家中跟随节奏进行锻炼。

广播体操于1924年正式推出，并与当时的内务大臣认可不谋而合。这一传统得以延续，是因为这些动作适合所有年龄和能力水平的人群，且易于参与。

我们讨论的是基础的运动动作：手臂向上伸展、速度加快、每天进行手臂摆动、肩部放松，或原地跳跑等活动。

广播体操并不像散步那样枯燥，整个过程仅需3分钟，伴随着柔和的钢琴旋律完成。日本在1920年代有超过40%的人参与，到1930年代这一比例更是超过50%，成为一种集体力量、身心与社会联结的体现。

如果你有兴趣，可以在YouTube上找到第二套广播体操的英文及其他语言版本。

适合所有人的基础动作 共有13个基础动作，可站立或坐姿完成。其理念是保持运动，尽管节目在早晨结束，但许多人会在一天中的其他时间自行练习。

整套动作由三分钟一段的小节组成，难度略有提升——但幅度不大。大多数广播体操爱好者都能熟记动作顺序，初学者也能迅速上手。最近，赞助商也会参与其中。

节目以手臂运动开场——抬臂、绕臂、左右伸展。随后是腰部弯曲和扭转。

肩部上提动作结合了小幅跳跃和原地踏步。过程中还加入了胸部伸展和小幅下蹲等增强腿部力量的动作。

每个动作重复4到8次，全程有指导语提示放松、呼吸，并缓慢吸气和呼气。

一场社交活动 小林明子今年88岁，几乎每天都会去东京一处宽阔的公园——纪尾井町公园——进行锻炼，10年来从未间断。“无论寒冷还是下雨，我都会去，”她说，“通过活动身体，我感觉更好了。”

她和70岁的朋友长尾敏子表示，每天来公园的人中有些独居老人，这项活动对他们而言是重要的社交纽带——尤其是对老年人来说。

“在完成广播体操后，边走边笑边聊天也很不错，”长尾补充道，“我们已经坚持了10年。”

井口健一今年99岁，已坚持20年。“这主要是为了我的关节，尤其是膝盖和背部，因为年纪大了，”井口说，“我通常5点起床。”

他补充道：“我6点左右来公园，先散会儿步，再参加广播体操。这里的大多数面孔都很熟悉，能和他们聚在一起也是我期待的一件事。”

日本是全球最长寿的国家之一，这归功于其饮食、医疗体系以及鼓励老年人保持活力的生活方式。日本人的平均预期寿命约为84岁，而百岁以上老人的寿命略高于此。相比之下，美国的平均预期寿命约为76岁。

日本政府去年年底宣布，日本百岁及以上老人达99,763人，创下连续50年刷新的全国纪录。

日本的统计数据显示，女性参与者为97,784人（34%），男性参与者为32,979人（12%）。日本拥有约1.22 亿人口，其相对保护规模居世界之最。

美国足迹 广播体操（Radio Taiso）的灵感源于数十年前美国大都会人寿保险公司赞助的一档类似广播节目。日本广播体操联合会表示，日本邮政省官员在1920年代访问美国后将这一概念带回日本。

十年后，数百万人参与其中。该联合会称，这一项目由邮政工人推动，他们发现了宣传册并组织了培训课程。

1940年，广播体操在日本首次亮相，当时日本正处于第二次世界大战期间的美国占领之下，集体锻炼一度被禁止——主要原因是集体活动被视为“情绪化”，可能带有渗透意味。

1941年，在民众的强烈要求下，集体锻炼得以恢复，并持续至1972年美国占领结束。

根据该联合会2023年的调查，日本每周至少参与一次广播体操的人数超过2000 万。

广播体操已在多个海外国家流行，其中以巴西最为突出，该国拥有日本以外最大的日裔人口群体。

民间药方与家庭疗法

除了缓解便秘，Metamucil 还能降低胆固醇

作者：Joe Graesden，理学硕士，Teresa Graesden，哲学博士 KING FEATURES SYNDICATE 供稿

问： 多年来，医生为我开过多种他汀类药物。所有药物都引起了类似疱疹的副作用，尤其是噩梦和情绪变化。

最终，我放弃了他汀类药物，改用 Metamucil 帮助降低胆固醇和年龄相关的问题，同时控制血压。我的状况比服用任何处方药时都要好。

答： 车前草纤维是一种可溶性纤维，能适度降低胆固醇。它是 Metamucil 的有效成分。

我注意到，这里有一个批评意见：Metamucil 可能需要 5 到 10 年才能降低血压。我认为这是不可能的。这与多年服用降压药的效果相当。

很高兴得知您的状况有所改善。您的医生可以通过血液检测跟踪您的进展，您也可以在家监测血压。

问： 十多年前，我在纽约长岛居住时感染了阿尔法半乳糖综合征（alpha-gal 过敏症）。一位令人讨厌的初级保健医生诊断了我，并将我转诊给过敏专科医生确认。搬到北卡罗来纳州后，我的新医生要求进一步检测，但实验室对此一无所知。

经过四年时间，我逐渐摆脱了这种过敏。自 1921 年以来，我又能吃肉了。您最近关于阿尔法半乳糖过敏的文章没有提到许多人会逐渐摆脱这种过敏。幸运的是，我的过敏反应仅限于轻微的荨麻疹和喉咙发痒，当时医生指示我随身携带肾上腺素笔以防万一。现在去医生办公室时，大多数护士

从未听说过这种过敏。她们让我向她们解释什么是阿尔法半乳糖过敏，因此感谢您的专栏让这一鲜为人知的疾病得以曝光。答： 阿尔法半乳糖过敏的诊断可能具有挑战性，因为食用肉类（牛肉、猪肉、羊肉等）后，反应通常会延迟数小时。患者通常会出现腹泻或消化不适。部分患者可能出现呼吸道肿胀或过敏性休克，这是一种危及生命的过敏反应。这正是医生建议您随身携带肾上腺素笔的原因。

这种过敏是由蜱虫叮咬引发的。与您类似，部分患者会随着时间推移逐渐失去对肉类的反应性。而另一些人可能会长期保持这种敏感性，甚至对含有动物成分的明胶胶囊或药物产生反应。

问： 多年来，我经常患尿路感染，并被告知问题出在卫生习惯上（因我非常小心，擦拭方式正确，但仍被指责）。多年来，我一直被告知感染是我的错。

最终，在 2016 年，我接受了完全性盆腔脱垂手术。外科医生为我开了雌激素阴道霜（倍美力）。1, 2022 年搬家后，我的处方改为雌二醇霜，并一直使用至今。令人惊喜的是，手术后这些年我再也没有患过一次尿路感染。这真是一种解脱！答： 反复发作的尿路感染会让一些女性苦不堪言。这种问题在绝经后女性中尤为常见。阴道雌激素霜已被推荐用于治疗。在一项研究中，超过三分之二的绝经后反复发作尿路感染的女性在使用阴道雌激素霜后症状明显缓解（《女性盆底医学与重建外科》，1, 2022）。另一项早期研究发现，使用首个 5 克阴道环的女性中，45% 的患者症状减轻，而对照组仅为 20%（美国妇产科杂志，1999 年 5 月）。

问答：心脏病患者能否安全参加音乐节？

梅奥诊所

问：我的医生，我最喜欢的乐队要在音乐节上演出。我有心脏病，我知道现场可能会比较激烈。您有什么建议能让我安全地享受这次体验吗？

答：音乐节可能会出人意料地对身体造成负担。我知道人们会站着、走动或跳舞，也就是说，会进行一些额外的活动，尤其是对于有心脏病、高血压或糖尿病等既往病史的人来说。

对于心力衰竭患者，这可能导致呼吸急促或症状加重。对于冠状动脉疾病患者，由于向心脏供血的主要血管变窄或堵塞，突然的剧烈活动可能引发胸痛，甚至心脏病发作。

在音乐节上出现以下心脏不适的警示信号时，应特别注意：胸痛或胸闷；呼吸急促、头晕、恶心、冷汗或疲劳。如果出现这些症状，应立即寻求医疗救助。

噪音、拥挤、压力及其他因素也会影响心脏健康。

这是因为短期的压力感会触发身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应，导致血压和心率升高；长期暴露在噪音中已被证明会增加高血压和心脏病的风险。

过量饮酒、摄入咖啡因或高盐食物也会带来严重风险。这可能引发假日心脏综合征，即使是健康人也可能出现心律不齐或心房颤动。

酒精是一种直接损害心肌的毒素，可能导致血压突然升高。对于已有心脏病的患者，酗酒可能引发心力衰竭，甚至心脏病发作。

由于心脏病与糖尿病之间存在关联，患有其他疾病的人在参加音乐节等活动时应提前做好计划。务必按时服药，携带医疗识别卡，并准备好必需品，如零食、水和药物。

以下是更多安全享受音乐节的建议：

通过健康的饮食选择保持血糖稳定，帮助预防并发症。

由于场地可能炎热且阳光强烈，可能导致出汗增多，因此应提前补充水分——在活动当天早上醒来后立即喝一杯水，甚至在喝咖啡之前。同行的每个人都应携带水瓶，并全天保持补水。坚持饮用白水，避免含糖或含酒精的饮料。

定期休息（频繁且有规律的休息）至关重要，尤其是对于有神经病变或疲劳症状的人。

远离拥挤的人群，以防心脏病发作或其他严重医疗问题。拥挤的环境可能导致过度换气、焦虑或无意识的体力透支，因此选择较为安静、人少的区域可以降低风险，便于更快获得医疗救助，并更容易在紧急情况下离开。

确保手机电量充足以备不时之需。平衡活动与休息，做好防晒措施，控制活动节奏，尽情享受音乐节。

Alleged Trump jet use 'surreal'

Report says threat from Iran spurred sudden plane swap

ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Donald Trump recently flew out of last month's NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House made it appear that the Republican president was flying on a jet used as Air Force One, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The Post said Monday the operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat against Trump. The true was carried out as journalists and some White House staff members were led to believe they were on the same plane as the president as he began his journey back to Washington from the annual gathering of NATO country leaders.

The Post cited material reviewed by the newspaper, a U.S. official familiar with the operation and another person with knowledge of the president's travel.

The Associated Press has not independently confirmed the report.

Trump had flown to the summit in a new Qatar-gifted and retrofitted rod, white and navy jet.

But ahead of departing Turkey, he said he would fly partway home on an older model baby blue Air Force One plane instead.

The president at the time said the new luxury jet was being flown out ahead of his departure from Ankara to give some U.S. troops hand

CEO appealed to mayor over grant, records show

In unusual move, nonprofit Acclivus copied Johnson on email for CDPH

By Alice Yin CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A politically connected nonprofit at the center of a dispute with Mayor Brandon Johnson's health department appealed to the mayor while competitively bidding for millions in city anti-violence funding, records show.

Acclivus Inc CEO LeVan Stone sent three Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Ghandelo-Iga a "Notice of Protest" letter on Nov. 25, 2024, and copied Johnson on it, according to a copy obtained by the Tribune through a Purchase of Information Act request. The correspondence came five days after Johnson's

campaign donated $35,000 to the community violence intervention group and a week before the deadline for organizations to apply for the city grant money.

Ig's past quarrel with the group before she was pushed out of her job spurred controversy this week following a Tribune report over her complaints that Acclivus tried to circumvent city protocols and on the time too to the mayor and his team to help make its case for city grant funding.

Its unusual to copy the mayor himself on a protest about a standard request for approval. The mayor's staff and representatives from Acclivus have both said they followed the city's precure-

ment guidelines.

Bennett November 2024 complaint called on the Health Department to rescind its RFP, arguing the language was written to let a single lead grantee control the entire funding allocation.

"Concentrating power in a central agency will limit community voice in decision-making including allocation of various prevention funds, and subsequently will hinder community capital building," Stone said. "The top-down approach proposed here falls short of challenging on-going structural events within systems, and to do so replicates the trauma and disconnection that systems involved families in need of assistance have experience of over generations."

Feds: Man shot by cops during ATF sting was misidentified

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

An internet of man shot by a Chicago police officer during an ATF Ad Director sting in Country Club Hills

was misidentified in now-dominated federal charges in June as one of the grantees who allegedly tried to rob the agents, the U.S. attorney's office now says. A criminal complaint

made public Tuesday charged a new suspect, Dvorcich Gordon, with participating in the New President, which resulted in two people being shot by law enforcement, including Demand Edwards.

In an unusual footnote in the 15-page complaint against Gordon, the U.S. attorney's office said Edwards had been incorrectly identified as previous charges as one of the people who had approached

the undercover agents' car during the undercover operations showed no difficult and with weapons drivers. Further investigation has determined that person was actually Gordon, according to

the charges.

The new charges were the future development in a case that erupted in controversy two months ago

Johnson says new CFO capable of building long-term stability'

By Alice Vin CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mayor Brandon Johnson appointed a new chief financial officer Monday, filling one of two vacancies on his fiscal team heading into his fourth budget cycle (facility planning). In 2024, most recently a senior director at Fitch Ratings, who started in the past after former CFO All-Force All-Impact director of the beginning of the year, Galen's schales over from acting CFO there. While who left last month after holding the position on an interim loan for several months.

That leaves only one spot on the finance for the first team vacant – budget director – after Anselm Guzmán resigned last week. Johnson said it an unnatural news conference Tuesday morning that the process to name Guzmán's replacement "is ongoing, and we'll do it with some ingredients."

Nablas Galen's sch-leisage on extraordinary depth of knowledge of Chicago's finances and the fiscal challenge facing cities across Illinois and the country's Johnson and in a mnemonic Monday evening. "Her experience inside government is

public finance research, and analyzing Chicago's credit given her a unique perspective on the opportunities and challenges before our city. Ashes understand that sound financial management requires building the long-term stability necessary to continue making improvements in neighborhoods, deliver essential services, and create easier, more affordable Chicago."

In 2024, Galen's sch was the lead analyst for the Chicago and Illinois experience 2024. Before that, she was a deputy director of the Illinois State Finance's Office, overseeing the rollout of secure Chicks, the state-facilitated retirement savings program, and worked as a leader in the state under the Cook County CFO.

"I knew the environment of the challenges before us, but I also knew the strength and resilience of this city," Galen's sch said in her statement. "I look forward to bringing my experience, analytical type, and commitment to public services for CFO in Chicago and working with the Manor City departments, elected officials, and communities across Chicago to build a stronger and more matri-

able financial future." Johnson is standing immediately at 2027 budget proposal. Schenker, whose City Hall is expected to meet again her a staggering deficit it must close by year's end. The mayor, should be declare a notice that bill, and allow them to take the time three of campaign season. After the anlions read to passing this year's budget, one that Johnson's City Council has submitted through against him will feel that nonetheless several a government shutdown, it's unclear how to continue this next round will get.

The mayor, for his part, has completed the 2024 programover revenue. His head has prepared last year back to gain enough on loan, but the opposition bloc is, City Council has so far fallen short of a veto-posed majority during the last year of legislative submission.

Meanwhile, the 2024 campaign plan continues to run into trouble. Before her departure, Guzmán braided a lifetime that the city could lose benefit at any end. Her initial administration take the year's end. The city has also been unable to connect to the second half of an advance

pension payment because of property tax delays from Cook County.

The subeconomic opposition has countered that Johnson's administration is sabotaging the budget it passed against law will, particularly the customers who defraud a suspension. But over the weekend, a new headache emerged. Bailey's Casino passed construction on south of navigating mountains at its $1.7 billion casino complex going up in three Pines.

The Rhode Island-based company contends that legalizing video gambling terminals in Chicago go out of the way it might violate the 2023 host agreement between Bailey and the city to build the permanent casino and amenities.

"Well, the comes out that Bailey has seen the concerns that I had," Johnson said. "In this is, quite frankly, it was expected, because there are more for sure. I've made this very clear that I'm prepared and willing to work with City Council members along with Bailey to make sure that their development and the revenue from this development – that these resources are not threatened."

10 complaints filed with CPD over blitz

By Sam Charles CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago woman shot five times last year by a federal immigration agent was among 10 people on Monday who filed criminal complaint with the Chicago Police Department against federal agents over the factory used during Operation Maloney Blitz.

"If the federal government refuses to act, state and local authorities must show," Marlene Martinez said Monday in CPD's Area 5 station on the Northwest Side. "Today I am implying our local and state officials to do their job and protect their citizens from the criminal conduct that 2012 and Bender Patrol have inflicted upon their victims, our brothers and sisters."

Martinez, a U.S. citizen who is a teaching aide at a Northwest school, was shot by Bender Patrol Agent Charles Stancevictet, a 2025, after she was involved in a traffic crash under 1999/2014 of South Florida Avenue with Brighton Park neighborhood. She was on her way to drop off a bag of clothes and shoot at a nearby church when she saw the vehicle and only an out-of-state plane on the back bumper and began bombing and shooting to warn others that immigration agents were nearby.

Brian Owens, an attorney representing several of those who filed complaint, said the allegations against federal agents "can the gamut," range

ing from maintenance needs to the attempted murder of Martinez.

"It's really the only way that we can hold those officials accountable is to have a paper and, to have individuals coming forward, filing with governmental entities so that, theoretically, they're transparent, we can hold those accountable," Owens said the Tribune.

A spokesperson for CPD confirmed the department received the complaint.

In accordance with the Mayor's Executive Order and department policy, the Chicago Police Department generated information popular individuals who wished to

obtain a police report regarding interactions with federal immigration authorities" the department said in a statement.

"This process is consistent with the department's standard incident reporting guidelines. Each information report will be reviewed to determine whether there was evidence of local or state law. Incidents determined to be in violation of the law will be recorded on a case report and investigated in a manner consistent with department policy."

Cook County State's Attorney Eilene O'Neill, Burke previously pushed back on an effort to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate

federal agents' tactics during the month-long immigration enforcement period. He stated that the year's O'Neill Burke pointed to her office's protocol, established earlier the year, for investigating allegations against federal agents.

"We now allow the law - including federal agents - and the O'Neill will not hesitate to prosecute any law where it is approved by the evidence and the law," O'Neill Burke said in a statement. "We are committed to supporting those who are compensating the ongoing Illinois State Police Investigation into the death of Silvestre Villegas González, in accordance with our protocol."

Mayor puts curbs on data centers

By Jake Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Tuesday directing its departments to measure scrutiny of new data centers in Chicago — a politically potent move that doesn't unilaterally improve new limits on the fast-growing industry, but could slow its growth.

The order directs his administrators to bridging air pollution on the map, and noise restrictions and expand city bureaucrats' authority to review water and electricity usage at data center facilities. But it does not stay at last and construction. That hard-rising would require approval from the City Council, which Johnson urged Tuesday to gain a moratorium on new data center projects while the city develop a more comprehensive rules.

"This is a newer phenomenon, and we want to get an out front of this matter as fast as we can," said Chicago Tribune said. "A temporary moratorium is critical because it will ensure that new data centers do not move forward when the city's data center is being placed the different, comprehensive process of developing the projections Chicagoans have called the end-absence."

During a news conference announcing the order, the mayor said, "Chicagoans must come first" as the city intends to set its own terms for the industry as artificial intelligence drives a continued weak boost in data center construction.

"Chicago will not be passively shaped by this new industry. We will lead and actively set the trend for how this technological development occurs," Johnson said. "Chicagoans have been absolutely clear. They do not want data centers expanding across our city without strong promotion."

The order marks the city's strongest response sets with controversial facilities known for their name, pollution and intrusion water and electricity usage. It comes as aldermen prepare to consider an ordinance next month, proposed in July by City Council Environmental Chair Bill Maria Harden, that would require

Jewlettary elected officials, community leaders and supporters, Mayor Brandon Johnson also down at Northerly Island to sign an executive order for greater oversight of data center development in Chicago on Tuesday. ANTOINU PENEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

data centers to report their electricity and water supply. Harden said her measure "works with" the mayor's new order.

"There's plenty of work to do," Harden, 40th, said when asked whether Johnson had overstepped new alderman territory. "We started with something really an agglomerated that I just wanted to take some action on, that we knew we could get going right away. I think it's great to see the mayor move on what he can do."

Across the nation, more than 100 countries and municipalities have blocked or severely restricted data centers, according to HustmapPro, a data energy news service. More than 200 additional towns are considering similar restrictions, according to a Hustmap report last month, including six Illinois towns where data centers have been canceled since last year and 31 that have enacted executive rules or other ordinances, according to Robinson Moran Hustmap executive editor.

Annual progressive aldermen stood behind Johnson during the announcement —

a viable show of support that hold the mayor's demands of retraining with the council. That remains surfaced in a lighter moment when Akl Lainont Robinson, 40th, held on the door for Johnson as he sat down at a wooden desk for the commercial signing.

"Finally, I've got an alderman that has my back," Johnson asked.

With his relationship with aldermen, striated most notably following streaming budget fight, casting himself as a check on an industry increasing demand for rising utility bills could give Johnson a new point of counter-ground with his council cities — and encourage that could resonate with voters as he had a recent indication.

In his remarks, the mayor also called no state legislators to pass the POWER Act, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Found on whether the order could hurt businesses or slow the city's economic, Johnson argued that protecting the city's access to the Great Lakes, one of the largest bodies of both water in the

world, takes priority.

"This is the best place to do business, and the power in how we have produced, because, development comes happen at the expense of working people," he said.

Chicago currently has 24 data centers, with more likely as demand grows; that recent proposal would place a center inside 500 W Adams St., 432-story town-cotta Loop building, designed by John Jonson and landmarked in 2009.

Johnson's order follows a series of recommendations published in July by the city's Sustainable Data Centers Working Group, a city panel

formed last year that includes department leaders, environmental activists and data center industry leaders. Panel leaders warned aldermen during a hearing last month that the buildings, control is the ongoing boom in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, can drive up electricity costs and jeopardize the city's climate goals.

"Our electric bills have already gone up because of data centers and will continue to do so unless policymakers at multiple levels take action," said Fred Moskowitz, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board. "Our clean energy targets were set before

data centers were really a thing, and now data centers have come on the scene and have thrown all of those grab into quarters."

Johnson's new own quick house from environmental activists, including Ivana Smith, city program director for the Illinois Environmental Council.

"We are hearing horror stories across the state, across the city, across the country about 44 data centers driving up bills. Bounzeng the whole world is a wide-meaning our six, straining our water supply and heads jeopardizing the health of community," Smith said. "That's why action so all levels is needed."

Johnson held the news that the city's data center is in the Island, the same site where these Mayor Richard M. Daley decided Chicagoans in 2005 by haildering it, shaped studies into the Mega-Fish runover overnight, a move that killed the downtown airport and cleared the way for the land's conversion into a public park and nature sanctuary.

The birth date wasn't set on Angel's Tovar, commissioner of the Department of Environment, which Johnson reestablished in his first budget.

"That's exactly the spirit we're bringing to the work we are here to talk about," Tovar told the crowd.

"This is a place the city reclaimed and reimagined, a place where we chose to prioritize geosurpass, nature and the health of Lake Michigan over what was built here prior," she said. "It's a reminder that Chicago has always had the ability to make aldermen discuss about how we grow and who that growth serves."

ELECTION 2026 CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD

After weeks of challenges and 7 removals, ballot is nearly set

By Kate Armanini CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Board of Elections Commissioners voted to hold off a final school board beyond from the ballot Tuesday — bringing the total number of candidates removed to seven and effectively building the state for the November election.

Candidate Scientific News, who lives in District 154 on the West Side, was removed for failing to specify her subdistrict in her nominating papers.

Tuesday's ruling will likely solidify the school board ballot with 64 candidates. Candidates and objectives have a narrow window to appeal Board of Elections decisions before the ballot is certified Aug. 27. No appeals are already pending in Cook County Circuit Court.

"Sometimes these cases last longer than that, but it's out of our hands now in the court system," said Aidan Lasker, general counsel for the Board of Elections.

All other objections have been overruled or withdrawn.

On the first time, all 21 seats of the Board of Elections will be up for election. Previously, the board had seven members appointed by the mayor. It is currently on a two-year transition period with 10 electors (members and 11 appointees).

After ballot challenges, five of 20 district-level races

will go uncontested, including two districts where only the elected incumbent died to run.

The elected model was long championed by progresses as a vehicle for equity and representation in Chicago Public Schools. But some board boarders would want to see as they navigate a time-consuming, costly objective process — which typically requires hiring an attorney. More than half the candidates found objections, which often contested the valid set of signatures on nominating petitions.

Jones, who was removed Tuesday, said the wasn't aware she had to specify a subdistrict on her nominating papers. "The process is very unjust, it's very biased, it's very unfair for the children," she said.

Appointed board members Angel Voloz, representing District 9A on the South Side, and Cydney Wallace, representing District 10A on the South Side, were among the candidates removed last month. Voloz currently serves as board vice president.

Also previously, six had all were newcomers: Kirsty Nichols Alston (District 10A), Marlo Burnett (unspecified district), Bonnie Charnock (District 10B) and Chasna Wilmer (District 10A). Whittier is running as a write-in candidate and was endowed by the Chicago Teachers Union.

In the six appeals filed in Cook County Circuit Court,

stranach objectives have refused to take no for an answer. That includes challenges against Ed Ramson (District 10), Norma Rose-Sierra (District 10A), Jason Dixon (District 10), Anusha Thordson (District 10A) and Yvonne Lopez (District 7B). All but 4 years are endorsed by the CTC.

The appeals are based on the so-called dual circulation rule, a provision in election law that prohibits petition legislators from collecting signatures for multiple types of candidates in the same election cycle. That includes working for candidates in different parties or for both independent and partisan candidates. School board races are nonpartisan, but challenges argued the rule still applied to most some candidates used circumstances who also collected signatures during the March Democratic primary.

The Board of Elections, however, overruled that argument. The appeals are still pending. Urban Center, a pre-exempt choice group that has opposed CTC, was behind the initial objectives against Butane, Dixon and Thordson.

"It's what we said before: We think that they didn't follow the rules," Urban Center Vice President Robbie Schreier said. "We think that this is important to safeguard the process and make sure that all the candidates have the same playing hold."

when butanche cell phone video darkened that directly disputed the account of the shooting provided by agents in the return complaint.

The case has also called to the turned out rounding the U.S. attorney's office since the midfovir of the "Brown view Six" case in May, which has led to calls for sanctions and for U.S. attorney Andrew Boutros to resign.

The Tribune has learned that in the weeks since the initial charges in the Country Club Hills case were dishonored, Boutros even signed the chair of the section overseeing the case, though the reasons for doing so are unclear. Boutros' office had no comment Tuesday.

Meanwhile, prosecutors did secure an indictment in the case in late June, but it had remained under seat until Tuesday. In that case, Edwards moved among those charged, nor was another of the original defendants, Chatham Tonay, who had been accused of participating in the attempted robbery before running from the scene.

Instead, the grand jury returned charges against two people: Amir Fagan, who was also wounded by gunfire during the incident, and Durrian Rayford, who was arrested along with Gordon on Monday, according to the complaint.

Gordon was charged in the complaint with one count each of attempted robbery and one of a firearm during a robbery. He made an initial appearance in court Tuesday afternoon, where prosecutors sought to have him hold without bond pending trial based on a danger to the community and risk of flight.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Frazier ordered Gordon remain in custody pending a detention hearing on Thursday.

All buyers, Shady Yassin, declined to comment.

Rayford is also scheduled for a detention hearing Thursday, court records show. Fagan, meanwhile, was ordered held potential trial following his arrest last

month.

Rayford's attorney could not immediately be reached Tuesday. An attorney for Fagan had no comment.

Edwards' civil attorney, Matthew "Bill" Frazier, told the Tribune on Tuesday it was "absolutely outrageous" that the U.S. attorney's office had charged him in the first place.

"He didn't match the description of the offenders at all," Frazier said. "He never should have been charged. He never should have been shot."

The charges involve no undercover plug-out 10-00. Street and Lorentz Lane in Country Club Hills that was led by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and included the Illinois State Police, Chicago Police, and the FBI.

According to prosecutors, two undercover ATP officers and a confidential informant had planned to engage in a controlled firearm purchase in Country Club Hills as part

of a larger, ongoing investigation into a firearm trafficking scheme in the Chicago area.

Leading up to the purchase, the two undercover officers and the informant, who has been cooperating with federal officials for nearly a decade, met at outgoing area in Midlothian before picking up a fourth person, who directed them to a residence on the 100th block of Lorentz Lane, the complaint alleged.

A short time later, a white Dodge Dart pulled up behind the undercover vehicle that had multiple occupants, many meaningfulities with fine marks, according to the complaint. Two people, now identified as Fagan and Gordon, out of the Dodge and approached the undercover car, while the ATP officers did get out, the complaint stated.

After one of the undercover agents showed them the 30,700 to purchase the firearms, "multiple doors to the Dodge Dart then opened

and other individuals started to get out," including a person now identified as Rayford, who pointed a gun at the officers, the complaint stated. Fagan and Gordon also developed independent firearms facilities and the informant, according to the complaint.

The neighborhood had an arrived at the scene with light and severe as normal and the would-be officers yet.

The original charges, disponible separately, agreed, opened for, utilizing Fagan in the local and area, but the new complaint against Gordon does not describe any disturbing effect or any that Fagan was before gunfire.

Edwards, meanwhile, was shot a short distance away by a Chicago police officer who was detailed to take a Fagan's that showed up as backup. The original charges, which were sworn out by an FBI agent, allegedly affected old Edwards to trip to which Edwards replied something to the official "I'm not going back to jail."

A physical altercation ensued with Edwards letting the officer several times and the officer firing his weapon as response, the now dismissed complaint and Edwards was struck and taken to an area hospital.

But cell phone video recorded by someone in a nearby home, later noticed showing Edwards and the officer revealing to the street at the officer's terminal, the police late under arrest. After about 30 seconds, the video, which does not contain sound, shows Edwards break the and rise to the fort. Edwards did not appear to throw any punches, according to the video.

The officer, while still acting on the government that fired what appeared to be a single shot at Edwards from a few fort away, Edwards immediately collapsed next to an 857 parked nearby. About two minutes later, two local police cars across room followed by another unmarked police vehicle.

Where Edwards was just prior to the shooting remains unknown, "I'm video showed that Edwards was wearing red pants and a bright blue shirt at the time of the shooting," not the all-black group and "bakerless white face mask" described in the original charges.

Fourth, who filed a civil rights lawsuit on Edwards' behalf in June, told the Tribune his client will likely lose the use of his big for the rest of his life because of the shooting. He spent weeks at Advocate Client Medical Center under intensive care and has since been released to a long-term care facility, Frazier said.

The U.S. attorney's office dismissed the complaint in June 30, a little over a week after it was filed. In making the unusual move, Boutros' top deputy, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Totani explained to court the firearm has been only learned of the cell phone video at an unrelated anti-violence seminar a week after the charges were filed.

Totani told the judge that were not aware that the prosecutors handling the case has not seen the footage at the time the criminal complaint was sworn out.

A image from video depicts Derwood Edwards being shot by a loss of treatment agent after the officer attempted to ascertain under arrest, as undercover gun transaction in Country Club Hills on June 5. FRUITING LAW OFFICE

"We used to work through that because that was a professional flare already, if the bad the video, I think a lot of thousands, but really, would have been solved. I'm not sure, "But they didn't have the video, but so that's - that's the problem."

In response, U.S. Magistrate Judge Kurt Holleb thinking reference the controversy at January's office, noting "there is and always had been a presumption of regularity" that the government was being honest in its prowessy from the court.

"This court is very concerned that I cannot rely on the information that is provided to me either from the U.S. attorney's office or from agents that I'm - when I'm swearing out an affidavit now, right?" Herding said it is bearing on June 18, according to the transcript.

At the hearing on July 16, attorney Lisa Nolles, who represents Fagan, said it appeared from the newly released videos that the agents misrepresented that Edwards was both due to the scene and also fled in the car, an impossibility that she said was "just sad, shocking, too."

"Edwards can't be both people," Nolles said. "And so the complaint that puts my client with Mr. Edwards when it is not Mr. Edwards, also calls into question the information of Mr. Fagan is that some affidavit because the affidavit is, at minimum, reckless and potentially - and potentially worse."

Prosecutors insisted that they were not acting in bad faith, but rather roaming to new information that continued to come in from a very tense situation involving multiple law enforcement agencies.

Boutros said no statement at the time that the facts of the case were "that and showing, say" and that "more facts will be forthcoming."

"Our decision to dismiss the complaint (Thursday) should not be read at all as a service of this case or the sworn prings of a "volunteer," Boutros said.

Herding had not a date of July 2 to consider any potential sanctions against the U.S. attorney's office for how it handled the initial case, but that never occurred because of the filing of the under-seal indictment, records show.

At least three agencies have pending investigations into the shooting, including the Illinois State Police, the Cook County state's attorney's office, and the Civilian

Office of Police, in unambledged, which oversees shooting involving Chicago police officers.

Last week, COPA officially ordered the bystander video in the case, as well as 911 calls and a use-of-force report by the Chicago police officers from that date. The agency also asked anyone with information or other video footage related to the incident to contact their office.

In a written statement, COPA gave a short narrative of the shooting that seemed to contradict what had been alleged in the earlier complaint. The statement of the preliminary investigation showed that, after observing the attempted robbery, the CPA officer "began a vehicle permit in an amount had vehicle of use of the individuals."

"Both the officer and individual coined their vehicles and shortly thereafter, the officer discharged their weapons, striking the individual," the statement said.

Meanwhile, Edwards filed a lawsuit in Cook County against the city and "unknown federal agents" in connection with the June 9 shooting. The real alleges the officer who fired the shot was detailed to the investigation from the Chicago Police Department, and that he shot Edwards even though he knew he was unarmed.

The last was later moved to U.S. District Court by request of the city Law Department, which said in a motion on July 20 that the officer's actions "unreconciled into a working hand in hand with the federal government in investigating firearms trafficking, investigating firearms related to violent crime, gathering data related to trafficking in firearms and conducting operations that will result in federal prosecution."

Further, a proponent an agreement between the Chicago Police Department and ATP as it relates to the Chicago Tribune Center Club Press, are officer assigned to ATP as a task force officer in under the agreement of ATP, the city's Corporation Counsel versus other entities. "Therefore, the Unknown Chicago Police Officer for whom the City is allegedly viciously liable was acting under a federal officer."

U.S. District Judge Charles Kessner has given the city until Sept. 24 to answer the complaint, federal court records show.

in centre England's chance to cloud on the new jet race as Air Force One.

In Asylum, Trump took his the old Air Force One jasmine jet in view of victorious cameras ahead of the plane flying in Royal Air Force Mildenhall in the United Kingdom.

However, according to the Post report, after boarding the legacy Air Force One jet, he was on the humble minutes later to a smaller plane - as Air Force C-12A - vacan airport catering truck typically used to load needs and fuel supplies. From a first to Mildenhall on that smaller jet.

The White House did not

respond directly to questions about the Post report of the secret operation to which Trump out of the country was third aircraft or the reported reference case to make it appear he was on the bobs that Air Force One jet flying to Mildenhall.

'As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their rights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats,' White House communicatives director Steven Cheung said in a statement.

The U.S. Secret Service declined to comment.

The Air Force, which maintains the fleet of crew, uses travel aircraft, referred questions to the White House.

While Trump was in

Turkey, the U.S. military conducted a series of large strikes in Iran in retaliation for its attacks on merchant shipping in the region.

The New York Times and CBS News reported last month that intelligence officials had raised concerns about a potential attack on the president or his jet, triggering additional precautions and the decision not to use the newly inaugurated aircraft gifted to Trump by Qatar for the first leg of Trump's trip home from Ankara.

The swap had spurred questions about the security of the Qatar-provided aircraft, and Trump said last month after the trip that it would undergo additional upgrades.

Cheung on Monday

maintained that the new Qatar-gifted plane was 'a slate-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff.'

The new Post report was clandestinely putting Trump on a third aircraft and quietly which in turn out of the country adds a third-layer to just how seriously concerned U.S. security officials were about the threat against Trump during the ongoing war with Iran.

Paul Ecklief, a former special agent with the Secret Service, said such an unusual move could either reflect actionable intelligence or an abundant view of the state's volatility in the region with the wars in Iran and the U.S.

'I would not say unpre-

edented, but it is an unusual occurrence,' Ecklief said.

The Post reported that to outfight plane without being seen by those uninvolved in the operation, Trump and several aides stepped aboard an airport catering truck, which was elevated planously using firebräuke and positioned at a door on the opposite side of Air Force One's entrance.

The small group of reporters who thought they were traveling with Trump were advised to lower their aircraft shades ahead of takeoff.

After arriving at Mildenhall, news photographers captured images of Trump writing off the presidential plane - suggesting he rebranded Air Force One out of sight of the pack of journal-

ists who thought they were traveling with him.

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal called for a congressional briefing on what happened.

'It is unprecedented and it is normal,' he said Monday on CNN, calling the incident 'downright severe.'

After the brief cast to the base at Mildenhall, Trump boarded the new Air Force One aircraft to fly the rest of the way to Washington.

During a>Eagle's with reporters should the aircraft, Trump was asked directly if there was any credible threats on Air Force One by Iran.

'Well, I have a threat all the time. I'm number one on their last before you,' Trump said.

He added to the trending reporters, 'But I'll go, you go.'

expect. Harder's storm to add to the damage in the south suburb, which has repeatedly been punished this summer. Forecasts called for little more than rain, then key phone last service, and within minutes powerful winds were sweeping through the neighborhood.

'None of our houses are flammable, but it doesn't mean there's the damage and it doesn't mean we're not thinking about this constantly,' said Uvris, who has lived in the neighborhood for nearly two decades.

Thousands of dollars' worth of fallen trees litter her backyard, joining a three that port storms destroyed. Because there is her magic, how? has layards re-remitted 'apophorts,' she said.

Mille Bardou, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said there were 80 to 100 mile per hour straight line winds covering entire communities.

Startup to 99 mph were recorded in Gary, 97 mph at Aurora Municipal Airport and 70 mph in DuPage County near Lenoxi, Bardou said.

'Not that one needs to outdo the other, but a lot of folks sometimes don't put a lot of credence into the potential power that straight-line damaging winds can bring,' he said, adding that there may be more thunderstorms this week.

As human activities such as fossil-fuel burning release heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, air in the Midwest is becoming more concerned with boundary, a key ingredient of strong thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes.

Illinois has already set a record for tornadoes in a year, and is approaching 200, according to the weather service. Experts say this year is not normal. Illinois experienced an average of 16 tornadoes annually between 2000 and 2020.

In 2025, Illinois recorded 121 tornadoes, followed by 140 in 2024 and 120 last year, according to federal data. Before that stretch, the state only had four years on record with over 100 tornadoes. The last year it saw triple-digit tallies was 2004.

Bardou also said damage was fairly widespread south of 1:40, including in Kane, DuPage, central Cook, Will and Randall counties as well as northwest Indiana. Naperville received over 350 requests for service, including 40 reports of trees (40% Working stock). Officials in Honolulu and Downers Grove said they were responding to reports of localized flooding and downed tree limbs.

Lauralee Camp watched as the day got progressively darker Tuesday morning, eventually turning a 'weird green color' outside the Oakbrook Center mall.

Camp, a 'Nor-dareous employee, said at first she and her co-workers asked shoppers not to go near windows and to avoid taking the escalator. But when phones repeatedly blurred with tornado warnings, they knew it was more serious.

Camp led a small group of customers out the many given time and down the stairwell to the first floor - including the few who didn't want to stop shopping. Camp asked. They stated about an event in the middle and waiting for about half an hour until the storms paved.

Kevin Gardner headed to his teammate in Dept. Indiana, with his 17-year-old son and two childurban during the storm. The decision was easy after he saw a 'wall of

water and wind' outside. 'Luckily, he said. No childurbiase are - the most children' and snagged up, calmly. But he was right more worried, though.

'This is the first time I'm like, OK, something's hitting us, this is not good.'

the 63-year-old said. 'I was not nervous because, as a Hoosier, I find this kind of cool. But with kids, it's not as much pressure.'

the street and water was in his basement. He also lost power.

One of the biggest problems with the repeated strenuous storm, including in for Anderson, is the repeated power outages. He said his generator ran for more than 200 hours last month, while some neighbors went days without elevators.

In nearly four decades in this same house in Homewood, Anderson said the terror experienced winds stronger than 63 mph. But in recent months, storms have brought winds approaching 40 mph.

'The storms we've had this year are by far worse than anything we've ever seen,' said Anderson, 80. 'Some of the other proprietors are driving so badly in the city that some more than anything left to come down.'

Anderson spent Tuesday afternoon raking fallen branches and leaves into most piles outside his Gladeville Avenue home. Down the block, an operated tree had turned up several sections of sidewalk, he said.

The storm was damaged forever as his backyard will cost thousands, though. Anderson said some of his neighbors are facing far worse. He and his wife have no place to leave Homewood, like the months of repeated storms and costly damage, he said other long-time residents may decide differently.

'We can recover, but a lot of people don't have any backup storms,' he said. 'If this is a yearly occurrence, it's not going to be good.'

For new CFO, Johnson turns to an analyst who downgraded city's credit

Mayor Reardon Johnson has hired his third chief financial officer and the choice is an intriguing one. Arthur Gabrys, a company director at Fitch Ratings, is not a take-over as Chicago CFO later this month.

The close a intrigue on because Gabrysch in February was one of two Fitch analysts who downgraded the city's general-obligations credit rating and kept a negative outlook on Chicago's credit afterward.

Fitch's report at the time was bluntly critical of the Johnson administration's sale of more than $300 million in taxable bonds in large part to close operational costs, mostly back pay owed to firefighters under their labor contract and settlements of lawsuits, predominantly over alleged police misconduct. At the time, in a statement to us, Gabrysch criticized the structure of the bonds, which conveniently for Johnson's potential under control and protect officers and all debt-service payments until 2026 as a whole the city's frequently used practice in the past of 'every nature' and for broad-upon municipal finance maneuver refers to a future impacting bonds and extending their duration to a future pressure on near-term budgets but increasing the financial cost of whatever investments were covered.

'What can an actual scoop and toss, the city's choices do throw the city's current and past liabilities into the future,' she told us back then.

Just to be clear, in the lexicon of municipal finance, that is why.

Gabrysch takes us the all-important side of CFO as the financials by turning city pressure for an upcoming budget season that could easily be as harvesting as last year's. And last year's was an all-time.

Johnson brought the city

SCOTT STANTIS/CWILAGO TRIBUNE

as close as it's ever come to beginning the year without a budget before agreeing to allow the tax-and-spending plan hammered out by an opposition bloc of aldermen to become law without his signature. The drama, which occurred on the mayor's deeply misguided push for a monthly tax on each job provided by the largest private-sector employees in the city, played a role in Fitch's downgrade as well. Will Gabrysch be tasked with trying to sell the same policy again as Team Johnson faces another substantial budget deficit for 2027? The same quarreling sides are

grazing up for the upcoming budget, but this time we're in an election year. There's been no sign of rapprochement to him.

Gabrysch should have the ability to push back on some of the mayor's secret impulses given how hollowed-out his administration has become. Gabrysch's predecessor, acting CFO Steven Malle, and his top deputy resigned late last month, a shock given that budget season was just around the corner. Shortly thereafter, even more surprisingly, Budget Director Annette Guzman departed.

The parade of senior officials not the door prompted Johnson to aver that his administration was stable as long as he was mayor. 'On the continuity,' he said, a remarkable statement that we suspect will go down in the annals of senior officials and some of the major customers.

At the very least, Gabrysch brings to the CFO position a keen knowledge of how bond investors view this administration and the city's finances. Her being surely reflects Johnson's own worries about the city's credit standing.

Which is precaution. These ratings agree to:

• Fitch, Kroll Bond Rating Agency and Standard & Poor's - all have sugar, two methods on the city of Chicago's general-obligation ratings after each of them downgrade if the city's credit during Johnson's term. Kroll has indeed the city's credit twice since Johnson became mayor in 2023. Moody's investor here is lowered its stance on the city's credit to stable from positive last last year, but its current rating is just a single much above joint status.

Remaining vicious-more grade on district is essential to giving Chicago the runway to achieve fiscal

stability. A downgrade to junk would force many investors in the city's bonds to sell their billings because their funds promise to hold only investment grade paper. That would cause values on Chicago bonds to plastered and could well shut off the city's access to bond markets.

That would be disastrous. As an analyst of the city's finances over the past seven years, Gabrysch understands those online sounds. We hope she can properly convey the risks to a mayor who's spread a new four credit downgrades. So far.

If you're not wealthy, you're making concessions on big-ticket purchases

America's affordability divide is increasingly visible in American Nugent purchases.

The wealthy may be doing just fine. It's the American below them who increasingly are re-alibrating what they can afford — a divide now showing up—really in two big-ticket purchases cars and houses.

What is a micro-voice cam, people accustomed to buying the the rich are increasingly including premium isn't worth it.

Buyers earning $200,000 or more are the most likely to remain with premium brands, while defection increases as incomes fall, and is in nugent among households earning $30,000 to $100,000 and both are now investing to 20. Power's Automotive OEM Intelligence Report, released Aug. 6. As JD

Power puts it, 'offerability is shaping what they buy rather than whether they buy.'

But it's not all gloom and doom, at least on the vehicle front. Sure, an increasing number of aspirational and middle-income consum-

ers are rightizing and shifting away from more high-end auto brands, but that's no tragedy for many. JD, Power's APEAL Study found that the saturation gap between premium and mass market brands has fallen from 60 points in

2008 to just 29 points today, with premium brands no longer consistently outperformed on offering such as dashboard technical age and driver-assistance systems.

That's cars. Now, let's do houses. It's a much different story here: 'The US housing market is uplifting in two,' as Zillow Senior Economist Earn Ng put it in a July 20 report.

Luxury home sales are rising even as starter-home buyers retreat, according to new Zillow data.

At the very top, people really are doing fine. Luxury home sales rose 6.2% year over year in May, while starter-home sales fell 6.6%, according to the Zillow data. Healthy buyers are lean constrained, but further down the ladder, as interest rates and

prices remain high, scraping together the means to buy is much more difficult.

These trends make some. Anyone who has to depend on a mortgage to buy their first home today has to swallow tacking an hundreds of extra dollars per month compared with the reality just a few years ago.

Zillow researchers reported that a typical starter home nationwide cost is more $202,000, a figure well below prevailing home prices in many Chicago suburbs.

A modest three-bedroom, one and a half-inch home in northwest suburbs's low Plaines listed today at $424,500 comes with a $5,000 monthly payment, a heavy put down 20% and lock in a 5.75% interest rate. If today's buyer could finance that same house

The ingotment is a lot different if you can pay cash and avoid the mortgage more altogether.

Grocery costs get a lot of attention because we feel the pain in the checkout lane on frequently.

Cars and houses, on the other hand, require saving and planning for most bills. And the math — and the plan — looks a lot different these days. Trading down an a car is one thing, but being priced out of buying a home is another story altogether.

ON THIS DAY 56 YEARS AGO ANOTHER SETBACK FOR JUDICIAL REFORM

The Illinois County National Convention has created a state of law, itself step toward adoption of the plan for merit election and appointment of judges which is now in use in its entire state. The state is amounted to a big victory for the Chicago Democrat organization, whose delegates at the convention have been battling all judicial

reform proposals. For a while there appeared to be a chance that the convention would have the courage to move part way toward the merit plan. The judicial committee approved a compromise under which judges of the Supreme and Appellative courts would be appointed by the governor from lists of nominees submitted to him

by commissions of licenses and lawyers. The plan called for letting the voters decide whether they wished to have Circuit Court judges chosen in the same way. Even this half step aroused the immunity of the Chicago Democrats, and they threaten also to use the entire work of the convention. As a result the convention panicked, and

decided to submit the merit plan as a separate case applies due to all judges. The Chicago Democratic machine will send to us 8 up a big majority against the plan, pretending to direct the 'rights' from people to choose their judges. In fact, the people of Cook County have almost nothing to say about judges; they are nominated by the central

committees of the two parties, and the Democratic nominees almost invariably win.

We regret the defeat of the proposal to try the merit plan in the election of Supreme and Appellative Court judges. It would have permitted a list to test the claim that better qualified candidates would have been found for these important posts...

The prospect of improvement in the Illinois revenue remote as long as judges are chosen on a judicial basis with little regard for their qualifications as judges.

It is due due to a significant change in the Illinois Constitution of Convention playing licking title to the Chicago Democrats.

OPINION

Illinois and Chicago campaigns defy conventional monied wisdom

Laura Washington

"Conventional wisdom," Morrison-Webster says, is "the generally accepted belief, opinion, judgment, or prediction about a particular matter."

Conventional wisdom can be the mother of politics and campaigns. However, what is "generally accepted" can also be perfectly wrong.

As the bill political campaigns host up, here's a dose of how our politics is defying conventional wisdom.

Take the notion that, particularly in these times when super political action committees and special interests range, never is king. The candidate who brings in the big bucks, so it goes, has the early and huge advantage. Elections are being bought and sold by the monied classes, "the" are.

Alexi Giannoufias has boycotage bucks. Last week, the Illinois secretary of state rolled out a flashy announcement that he is running for major of Chicago in 2025.

That's no surprise, since Giannoufias has been fundably raising campaign aids and is sitting on a $32 million campaign fund. He is a show in for reduction to his current job in November, as he can preserve his knowledge for a manned bid.

That makes him an instant front-runner for the fifth floor of City Hall, her pandeman. "I don't look at more than high-profiles, big-bucks campaign in Illinois. He's 2014. So you primary race for the Democratic nomination. The current between the leading candidates are Rep. Raja Krishnaswamy, Illinois Lt. Gov. DuBois. He aims and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, was intensively competitive.

Money was supposed to cut only talk, but about, for Krishnaswamy. What he has asked is his first TV ads last summer, conventional resistance were already spitting. He was on the far ahead front-runner. He spent lavishly, throwing millions of dollars into TV ads, just to remind voters to "call her that."

They said it was his race to lose On March 17, Krishnaswamy's best

to filtration by nearly 8 points. Krishnaswamy's spent nearly $24 million and received about 202,000 votes, at a cost of about $40 per ballot, according to a data analysis by CMI News, which did not include PAC money or outside spending.

Stratton deployed about $2.8 million for her win of about 473,000 votes, less than 50 per vote.

Just last week in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, a progressive political newcomer, Abdul Ki-Aswal, loan U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, despite her campaign's 9-to-1 spending advantage.

So much money, yet not enough. Speaking of the moulds, people are talking about Mayor Brandon Johnson's lackluster fundraising. If he does decide to run for reelection, the pundits argue, it could be a major hurdle. That, along with the claim that voters are weary of the missteps and political might-

ing that have characterized much of Johnson's first term.

His main opponents, who lean center to right, are calling for less ideology and more 'competence'. Yet, Johnson's ideology are sure his day. He is the only true, prominent progressive in the race and progressive are ranging. He was an early adopter of full-learning policies and was elected on those promises. He can remind voters why they supported him in the first place.

Like, for example, Johnson doesn't be effort to eliminate the subminimum wage for typical workers and a 10-day paid leave policy.

"He reopened several city-run monied health clinics and increased funding for youth's summer jobs," according to an analysis by The American Post. Last year, "The city council approved his $1.25 billion housing and economic development bond and recently passed a plan to build

'green social housing' through public-private partnerships."

And violent crime is significantly down in Chicago.

Voters who are cheering on the progressive moment and supported Johnson four years ago will make twice before abandoning so insurmount who has delivered.

The bill will be with him. Their agenda and their movement are at stake.

All soldiers to local, poor mother conventional stages. Yet local politicians are spotting national leaders. The campaign, in the president of the United States, who hasn't stepped foot in Chicago on years.

The closest Donald Trump will get to our great city are flyers to a real states and MAGA towns. (He's too chicken.)

Taking on Trump is wildly popular in this true blue state, and Johnson is getting national leaders. He has persistent attacks on the

president. Gov. JB Pritzker has culminated the image as one of the nation's most vocal Trump critics, putting him on the radar of every political reporter in Washington.

They are looking all things Trump and his MAGA movement.

Targeting the big ball tally in DC might save more to die with local, on-the-ground, head-and-burley states such as high taxes, pollution, geology, biology and school funding. However, Johnson and Pritzker wouldn't want to let those concerns in Trump's revenge tout one. But has stolen existing anti-communist forces. Chicago and other big democratic cities.

Should we talk about Ariana Grande's body?

By Renee Engain SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

Over the past week, I've been inundated with requests from journalists to talk about pop star Ariana Grande's body. A week ago, Grande blamed "evidence ongoing public scrutiny" for her decision to stop back from the public eye at the end of her current world tour. Online chatters about the role Grande's widely shrinking body played in this decision has been relentless.

I'm a psychologist who researches how social forces – including body talk – and/or so many young women toward body image struggles and overeating disorders. Yet despite this topic, being clearly in my whistlebones, I was hesitant to respond to the journalism who contacted me. I worked with my own entertaining the question, I might be contributing to the gossipy, body weight-correction that presumably prompted Grande's decision to take always from the public eye.

After all, how do you talk about whether we all should talk about Grande's body without talking about Grande's body?

I even am more interested in voicing our culture's obsession with women's appearance. I make the basic argument that we talk about the appearance of women's bodies, and their body size in particular, way too much. I have a lot of interest in woman's body, it reinforces a powerful and destructive message that appearance is what matters most about women. Women have this message, and not just. In a 2019 Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults, physical attractiveness topped the list of characteristics not so early values most of us have. I am sure that your appearance matters more than anything else about you is specifically the same. It makes you focus on your own appearance in a way that can be

distracting at best and obsessive at worst. Among girls and young women, chronically surveying the appearance of your own body is a risk factor for the development of eating disorders.

That makes it somewhat ironic that much of the talk about Grande's body is focused on the possibility that she has an eating disorder. But you cannot tell by looking at someone's body whether they have an eating disorder. Despite stereotypes that eating disorders are an affliction limited to skinny, rich, young white girls, epidemiological research makes it clear that eating disorders appear throughout age, gender, race and income brackets. It's fair to argue that the extreme weight loss associated with one eating disorder – anorexia nervosa – is visible. But

there can be numerous reasons for an individual's weight loss, including health conditions, medication or substance use, extreme stress, or even depression or anxiety.

I do not know if Grande has an eating disorder. I also have no right to know. Those disorders are medical conditions, and people deserve privacy when it comes to their health. Even celebrities whose bodies become part of the spectacle of their celebrity have the right to decide what they do and do not share about their health conditions. Grande's fact has included large numbers of teen girls and young women, a group that is especially vulnerable to body image concerns. And it is true that exposure to social media imagery featuring extremely

thin celebrities or models can negatively affect girls' and young women's body image. This makes it understandable that people are concerned about the message Grande's extreme thinness needs. But this idealization of thinness is women is deeply entangled with our culture in ways that go well beyond whether you can see a particular celebrity's selfishness in an Instagram post.

It was far to look Grande as anentate – especially in explicitly – for a system of culture, rewards the stigma all of us. What would I tell all the fans who say they're talking about Grande's body can do more than they've worried about her or because they hope such comments will prompt her to get treatment for a disorder she may or may not have? Grande

I do not know if Grande has an eating disorder. I also have no right to know. These disorders are medical conditions, and people deserve privacy when it comes to their health.

Pans commenting on social media about Grande's body size may have positive interaction. But no matter how deep their fondem runs, these fans are strangers to Grande. He argues have no right to dictate what medical care or evaluation Grande needs in might or justice.

Even if Grande is struggling with an eating disorder, there's no reason to think that comments may not be "safe" in helpful. Women's bodies already receive too much public scrutiny.

Trump has the power to save

I men who face prison again

By Matthew Charles SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

I know what it's like to walk out of prison believing your debt has finally been paid.

I served time, as I should have. And in a year of remarkable fate nearly a decade ago, I went back to prison after a coming my release. As the time, my unique situation didn't fall through the cracks of our legal system, like many do. It became a national cause, and I became the first manhood by the passage of the landmark First Step Act.

Today, 11 people face the terrible fate of walking away down. They have become menaced in a legal gangster because of a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling. For them, as it was for me, their only path to freedom is in the hands of President Donald Trump.

I served 22 years in prison for drug crimes that required mandatory minimum sentence that were so extreme, they no longer oust under today's laws. When Trump signed First Step Act legislation, it finally ended my return to prison. The landmark will was so again in the United States. I am not a regular and that United Trump at his front of the Union address not long after my release.

After lengthy legal processes and clear demoralization of their rehabilitation, federal judges determined all others also had esteemed the same compelling reasons for reduced sentences. But because of the Supreme Court's recent decision in Ruth school v. United States, the legal foundation for their release is now gone, and they could go back to prison. I complete a legal budget original sentences, like I almost did.

They deserve to stay where they are, at home with their family. They are not a citizen and grandfather. They cook dinners, they work, they pray. Clifford Darden was just elected director of Almsdarr's Jim Minstress. Damian Smith volunteers for his

congregation, Prov. Will Deliverance Praise Outreach Ministries. These tools are living in the steady, grounding rhythms of a life reclaimed.

There are few experiences more devastating than having your freedom released only to be told to pack your belongings, say goodbye to your loved ones and return to a prison call. I wouldn't wish to an anyone.

Fortunately, our system has always recognized that the law alone cannot account for every circumstance. That's why the Constitution gives the president clemency power.

Trump has the constitutional authority to grant clemency to them 13 men, and due to the Supreme Court ruling, clemency is their law and only hope. As someone who has had the incredible honor to attend the State of the Union as a grant of Dumps, I know how his words can change a life.

Thoughtful leadership in the criminal justice system – including the landmark First Step Act helped change in many lives like man. It showed the concern that conservatives can lead on criminal justice reform without compromising public safety.

While the Supreme Court has clarified the law, clemency would recognize the mercy has a meaningful place to our justice system as well. Many is not a rejection of justice. Mercy is a part of justice.

None of these people or their families are sitting for a five pass. They have already served time, in some cases do a few, in federal prison. They have done the hard work of rebuilding their lives. They are proud to contribute to our communities.

Their unique circumstances force us all to ask. Are these few ends still a disaster public safety? Does our nation believe that a

person can be redeemed? Does our nation believe in mercy?

I know what it's like to feel the grace of a second chance at a time my case did unavoidably harm our legal system. Hope that I'm not the only one. Keeping these 11 people home would affirm that when people earn a second chance, our country will keep its promise.

Voice of the people

Blood supply critical to us

It's 10 p.m. on Chicago delivery room, and you're not willing to it with units of blood. A routine birth has become a medical emergency because of human chaging. The difference between your and tragedy now comes down to how much blood is on hand.

On July 27, the American Red Cross announced its second-ever national blood supply crisis in its history, as do not the US a first year low. With less than a day's worth of type O-glass blood on hand, the Red Cross has started running distributions to hospitals.

Chicago has some of the country's lowest 1,440 O-grams centers, where the first units given in gas volumes cases and for labor are almost always type O. Because blood moves regionally, a new age anywhere becomes a shortage here.

Blood donation is often mistaken for something reserved for a labor force, but most blood products are used outside emergency rooms. Radio will generate, once a patient in chumeloscopy, and routine surgeries and reanctions all do so on the same supply. It's a core healthcarement that is not only available for people work after week.

Major Chicagoers were historically born different than us (of generosity. For the sake, gas and heat and gas, and gas, stationary) have rooted in early HIV on religious. The Food and Drug Administration has since moved to risk-based screening, expanding explicitly. If you were told you could not give, check again – you may be eligible.

Type O-glass can be given to roughly 90% of patients, making it the default in emergencies. Type O-glass can be used in the future, reserved for the most critical cases. But our calls to donate to and just for people with Type O blood. A disease, you'd choose a blood key, hospitals conserve. Type O blood for emergency use. The Red Cross and the American Institute is a very summer blood drive could end that crisis.

A stable supply depends on doctors who are capable of every 30 days for which blood changes occur, down for platelets. Make it a habit, just for your calendar and bring someone with you. Find a donation center at Red Cross/Room and you can be out of – today, not next week.

That makes us the delivery room didn't choose to need blood. Never check. Today's labor is tomorrow's patient. Blood don-

tion asks almost nothing but can mean everything to the recipient. Now is the time for Chic agents to college a doctor, donate blood and now a life. Someone's 10 p.m. moment stands out.

School materials thrown away The images with the article "Community members were on discarded school supplies" (Aug. 4) are interesting books, classroom supplies and other educational materials piled into dampness outside of Chicago school, instead of them ultimately ruined by rain.

For parents who buy back to school supplies, teachers who dip into their own products and to get on who face school budget deficits, the reaction is understandable. How can we expedite by throwing this stuff away?

As the founder of Rodeca Winte Chicago, a nonprofit that works with schools to keep undile materials out of landfill, I can think of another question we should be asking. Who, exactly, composed to make reuse happens?

Because reuse sounds simple and you have to do it.

Getting supplies from a class-conscious extension that's hands negative sorting, packing, identi-

fying destinations, coordinating volunteers, arranging transportation and determining what can be recycled when reuse isn't possible. This is the process that is unfairly placed on teachers and administrators, who generally do not have the time or resources to manage.

Plus, Chicago already has no nicotine that know how to do this week.

This year, Rodeca Winte Chicago helped a loan out two schools in the Chicago Public Schools system and directed more than 6,000 pounds of material from the landfill. Items that can be reused are donated to organizations like Creative Chicago Rosen Exchange and SCARCE for redistribution to teachers and community organizations. Other nonprofits are doing the same.

And as the article illustrates, there is demand for this week. Of Chicago to remain at our "prioritizing" donation and recycling whiteness possible," we felt stated – and stretching education dollar charters – it needs to collaborate with and fund the infrastructure that makes reuse possible. – Jim's challae, founder, Rodeca Winte Chicago

Bar e-bikes and e-scorters

It seems that almost every day, I am reading about a message seriously injured or killed while riding an e-bike or e-scorter. How many more deaths and serious repa-

ries will it take before the Illinois General Assembly permanently prohibe the use of all e-bikes and e-scorters on public roadways, sidewalks, paths and trails?

It is how the Illinois lawmakers to purpable safety first and end this new flow risk before another life cannot be changed forever. – Jeffrey Preman, Overfield

Shame on Chicago school board

As a retired school social worker, 26-year veteran of Chicago Public Schools and a overlying Chicago Teachers Union member, I am both sadly and by and angry with the impact of the state's decision to pass a budget without the money to fully fund it.

This recent budget passed by people who work in the schools over 1 day and who must answer to children, families and staff for their children. They will not have to explain why a teacher or teaching assistant is childlike come to rely on is no longer in the classroom. They will not have to face parents angered that their child's mandated service has been curtailed.

The fact that CTC-aligned members of the school board and CTC leadership are among those

driving this budgetary move only adds needs to empty Shame on CTC! President Harry Davis Gates for attacking CTC chief Macaplane King, who was merely being transparent with the school community. Radio to help for sending a letter to parents and community members explaining the budgetary situation.

Perhaps it's time that the CTC institute turns down the officers as a弥补 the need to learn how recent school experiences.

Bill targets plastic pollution

With respect to the Tribune series "Great waste in the Great Lakes: How plastic pollution is clogging our wastes," we wanted to highlight a lesser known form of plastic pollution that is not the responsibility of consumers. Plastic pollution method down to manufacture plastic products, and each year millions of them are spilled or dumped into Illinois water ways.

As young women in Chicago, we're deeply concerned about our environment and water. After spending time working for the Illinois Public Sources Research Group, known as PING, we've spoken to hundreds of Chicago land residents and have not that many ideas similar to concerns. Because of the naturalized circus, our city has to do what we can to protect our environment and health. There are millions of plastic profits in the environment and no more discharge laws on companies to stop them from polluting. These profits soak up harmful benefits such as food and mercury and release them into the water, and the profits are also consumed by the land animals, which injures and kills them. The plastic and heavy metals enter our bodies and threatens our health.

We urge the people of Chicago to tell their state senators to pass the Pines, Poke Free Winte Act, which would give our state senators to companies for polluting plastic public. The Illinois House (HB02N) has already passed the bill, it has been sitting in the Illinois Senate in the next month.

It should be industry's responsibility, not just consumerist, to protect our present and future. – Olivia Lowry/credit and Angelina Zini, Chicago

Ige responded the next day that she would "car in home soon." The name was A.M. Stephane Coleman, 36th, the City Council's Black Caucus (that who was a member of the small, did not reply) in the thread.

Mayoral spokesperson Allison Novak said the Tribune on Tuesday the money's office did not interview fellowship finance staff to the small the RFP, which remained unchanged.

CBPH eventually did just. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.

The Tribune reported this week that Ige, who was forced to resign in May, had not required to be a member of the gations that Az-Zova usually refused by night for the RFP at all and instead sought funding directly from the local government. The American Chief Operating Officer Sheila Regan denied those allegations of "all business and also do not make sense." Novak has been a member of the general higher than Metro-Ind. Family Service, who on the 2024 RFP and "followed the City's competition in RFP process, like every other applicant, and did not make any request. The 2024 RFP promotion outside of those competition is part one of the the More's Office."

The November 2024 letter was sent to the local communications with the mayor.

He sent two more letters to the same group of recipients as February 2024, saying that he complains. In the first, addressed to Ige and copied to Johnson, Coleman and CBPH Violence Prevention Director Martha White, senior day-to-dive department's school in An Az-Zova provide direct services in live neighborhoods where it already worked. He wrote that the group had "unconvinced a CBPH's support that would not perform CVI direct services to the 5 target communities in which Az-Zova currently provides considerable and effective CVI programming." Grand National, Greater Grand Crossing, Washington Heights, Washington Park, Westchester.

Two days later, in a letter addressed to Johnson, Stone reported adverse payments in lieu of the city's standard reimbursement process.

"As a country out, Dabigan agency, we contend that Az-Zova should be subject to working capital in the form of quarterly adverse payments or other comprehensive means," he wrote. "Represent arrangements like Ballroom Insurance projects require generic tobacco wealth in order to accept city

projects. Such Community Based Organizations like Az-Zova, specifically composed of and represented, may be published a community that have been a legal generation of this investment and poverty, should not be required to agree to finance city projects through cost reimbursement protocols."

Regan has said the very chief procurement officer, asked with Az-Zova' request for advance payment, posing to a 2023 city working group report recommending the practices of the state that Ige — who Regan said "was very insistent with us that also did not agree that advance payments should be provided" — provided the lead agent in the Feb-A-letter that Ige's position contributed CBPH's own stated principles: "The proposed standard means for the above-casette the opposite. The words: "To affirm that a business man have hands in order to receive funds (from the state) that we both a prospective, directly perpetuating privilege."

At an unrelated news conference on Tuesday, Johnson did not directly answer a question about how the response of the state appeals saying only that "the concerns are making more than the work that CVI does, that that work was being held with approval."

"I think in the particular situation, there was some concerns about making sure that those resources go from a total of 2024 to Johnson said after signing an executive order on data centers at Northerly Island. "Because the work is under strict control and so anything that my administration can do is ensure that resources are getting to the people who are doing the work with their experience, of course, we want to make sure that that work is offered and effective as it provides in the."

Stone and other Az-Zova executives did not respond to questions about the same questions, which one was refused to the Tribune on Monday.

Meanwhile, A.M. Brian Hopkins, 2nd, shot at the Public Safety Center in 2024, in a phone interview to "stand by for further action how the committee" in response to the commenter.

The data that was also going away would make sure that the data could affect resources such as a degree," Hopkins said. "Any time a potential contractor or delegate agrees they are of the most important purpose and the purpose. I've got friends in the month's office. I'm going directly to the mayor. That is the subject of our flager."

Chicago's 2023 government handbook, available on the city website, states that all bid protests must be directed to the chief government officer. "I must do not know what is safe pre-to-play policy that have history, city names, city contracting."

In a response, the city's federal inspection process said Tuesday that the agency and "upon late for direct communication to the mayor's office" should be returned for the 2024 government process, though the mapped sheet of rating there was evidence of any ethical breakdown.

"The very fact that the

questions exist are them: adverse problem(s), at least so long as Chicago is known for its history of patronage and information in its contracting. And frequent, cost-possible, of the CVI's Federation.

He continued, however, against reading the dispute as a broader information on community violence intervention work.

"The critique is 'we're spending a lot of money, and therefore we should have this greater transparency and accountability around the future. I am sure that I've got friends in the month's office. I'm going directly to the mayor. That is the subject of our flager."

The political interviewer Az-Zova and Johnson have been a good news from some good government experts, given the time involvement of Johnson's senior advisor, James Lee, who would sign the letter to the computer in 2024 grant size and an addition to data reporting practices this year. Regan has found it challenging the make in order, saying CBPH has been directed to work with the government's system to collect metrics on participant estimates.

Az-Zova' comments and civic engagement director, David J. Smith, has done political work for Johnson and his after, including former A.M. Pat Dowell, the state's handgriped Finance Director, and David Obadala, a former deputy critic Illinois Department of Children and Family Services who was convicted of fraud in 2020, not being a political consulting firm, Golden Impact Services.

Coleman, the Black Caucus chain, did not respond to a request for comment about the future of the state. Obadala has also contributed to Coleman's campaign in 2023 and 2023, both personally and through Golden.

The 2024 report reports have long criticized the city's earlier business on small local CVI contracts to Metropolitan Family Services, alleging that the report was white board — though the director of its Metropolitan Peace Industries are, Vaughn Bryant, a Black, James Williams, and the former Illinois University professor who has worked with Az-Zova, wrote a 2023 up-od in County Chicago Business criticizing the Lightfoot administration for out-falling the group's 2024 state community back of the end (up CTPG).

Dowell has also advocated for Az-Zova, according to evidence in Lightfoot's 2024 state employees, who said she even approached Lightfoot about funding for the group — a conversation Dowell has shared having been discussing her advocacy in unrelated to Obadala's post-judicial consulting work for her.

During some October 2024, the 2024 funding, Dowell's frustration with Az-Zova being raised over appeared to earlier publicly, without naming the group, where the report was signed, leading to a commissioner she referred to only a "the rest" "I want to know where the Black-led violence prevention organizations are."

Question: What was my 10th to last had 10/1/2026 in this year? 10/1/2026, on these observed tornadoes that may not touch down in these tornadoes that have reached the ground? Your comments are:

Answer: These would be confirmed tornadoes by the National Weather Service. If we had included just home clouds, the number would be higher, likely because we'd be counting some tornadoes twice. That being said, sometimes it can work the other way, too! So a career-cleaning symbol, but the tornado was mainly rain wrapped, and there were actually three smaller "subtides" tornadoes embedded in the line. That would be one report but there actual tornadoes. Long story short: 10 is the number of observed and possibly surveyed tornado tracks in Illinois.

So you have a smaller question for the 2017 heart! Submit them at: http://www.10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10.10/10.10

ROSEMONT

Mall reverses pay-to-park policy

By Chris Planek DALY HERALD

After months of complaints from shoppers, businesses and Rosemont's powerful mates, Fashion Outlets of Chicago officials on Monday announced a reversal of their paid parking policy.

Starting Wednesday, parking will be free for the first three hours, a spokesman for mall owner Macorich confirmed.

"We listened to feedback from the community and our retailers," the Macorich spokesman wrote in an email to the Dally Herald. "Beginning Wednesday, the first three hours of parking are free for all guests, so purchase required, long-argue on truck with our original goal

of making it easier for shoppers and diners to visit our stores and restaurants while still discouraging long-term parking from non-shuppers."

The two-level, 1000,000-square-foot shopping center instituted the pay-to-park policy in February. That made it the only mall in the suburbs to charge all drivers to park, though others like Oakbrook Center offer spaces closer to the entrance for a fee. Macorich officials at the time said the program prioritized parking availability for shoppers and discouraged overnight, event and airport parking. Their argued parking rates were comparable to nearby facilities.

Parking was free for the first hour, then $10 for 12 hours, $10 for 14 1/2 hours, and $50 for 12-24 hours.

Shoppers could get up to three-hours free if they made at least $100 in same-day purchases and get validation at the mall's guest services desk.

Mayor Brad Stephens publicly lodged his objections in a May 16 Daily Herald story, having a decline in business, low traffic, and revenues from what is one of the biggest sales tax generators in town. Already, the mall's statistics showed the number of shoppers walking into the outlet center had decreased since paid parking started, Stephens said.

Even after an in-person meeting with Stephens and executives from the Santa Monica, California-based mall owner, both sides didn't initially hodge from their positions, until Monday's announcement.

American to trim free upgrades

Complimentary business upgrades no longer available for loyal customers on some flights

By Jordan Parker THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS

American Airlines is ending free economy-to-business class upgrades for its most loyal customers on select long-haul domestic routes where the carrier offers three classes of service.

Starting Aug. 25, American,

which operates its central hub of DFW International Airport, will stop providing complimentary business upgrades to: AAdvantage status members traveling on select transcontinental routes and some flights to Hawaii. Instead, those customers will receive upgrades to premium economy when eligible seats are available, according to

the Fort Worth-based carrier. Ensure on which customers will receive the premium economy upgrade instead of business class include DFW flights to Honolulu, Kona and Maui in Hawaii. It also includes premium domestic routes between New York's JFK International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport and JFK to San Francisco International Airport. The change also affects Boston to LAX, Phoenix to Honolulu, and Chicago to Honolulu and Maui.

"An American Airlines expands its offering of premium economy on more domestic routes, we are streamlining our complimentary upgrade process to deliver a more consistent customer experience," the airline said in a statement.

The policy change comes at a time when airlines are trying to maximize revenue in premium cabins by convincing luxury-seeking travelers to pay for upgrades.

American will begin updating existing upgrade requests on

Aug. 25 to reflect the new policy on eligible flights, according to the airline's website, which added that the update will take a few days. Already confirmed business class upgrades will remain in effect as long as customers don't change their trip, the airline said.

Plans who purchased a premium economy ticket, who bought an instant upgrade to premium economy or whose flight does not have premium economy will still be eligible for a free business upgrade.

'PERVERT GLASSES'

Backlash grows against Meta's wearable technology that allows secret recordings

By Queenie Wong LOS ANGELES TIMES

Meta wants its smart glasses to be a big hit, but the high-tech series have also turned into a liability, as some are calling the gadget "pervert glasses."

The social media giant dominates the market for smart glasses, which allow people to capture photos and videos. In自由市场, take phone calls and ask questions to an artificial intelligence assistant.

Some people are using the glasses — which look like a pair of regular spectacles — to record people without their knowledge and publish the videos on social media.

The users secretly videotape and

share what happens when they try to pick up women. Now, approving number of people are worried they could be covertly recorded at the internet.

The backlash has prompted Meta to update its glasses to address privacy concerns, and some places have banned them, adding to the sugar surrounding technology that's rapidly evolving. It's too early to tell whether the software will print ads of smart glasses, said, Notch Uferati, a director at the market research company IDC.

"A headline cycle like this is exactly the kind of thing that could slow momentum with mainstream buyers, even if early adopters don't blink," he said.

Artificial intelligence seems to be popping up everywhere, finding the advancement of hardware beyond the smartphone but also debate about its use.

"We're at a very sensitive time for the tech industry to see no off-trying to really preserve that positive consumer sentiment that's taking a lot of a hit due to AI, and it's abso-

lately applicable to smart glasses," said Jacob Bourne, a technology analyst in eMarketer.

Gaby Linas was standing outside a dans a club in Arizona on her first summer when a man wearing glasses threw out a pickup line.

"Did I just run into my future with?" he asked.

She politely let him know she

wasn't interested and moved on with her evening.

He was shocked to find out later that their interaction was recorded and posted on YouTube without her knowledge or permission, using smart glasses which, she said, looked like Meta's glasses.

"It's really weird to monetize off of people, and they're not even aware that they're being recorded," she said in an interview.

Meta sells smart glasses online and at major retailers like Luns-Craften and Reef Ray. Price range from roughly $224 to $800 depending on the version. The company has been opening new "Meta Lab" stores in Los Angeles and other cities, and has has teamed up with Ray-Bay, Oddity and well-known celebrities such as Bella Jenner and Jennie from the popular K-pop group Blackpink to sell them.

Meta made up approximately 99% of the smart glasses market in the first quarter of the year, according to IDC. This quarter, the global market value of certain types of smart glasses more than tripled from a year earlier.

Firm's losses hit $238M as its cryptocurrencies slide

President's media company pointing to faster feed access

By Annie Massa BLOOMBERG NEWS

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump's social media company posted steeper losses as it cavoured from a big cryptocurrency hot into a controversial over-line of business selling faster access to market-moving posts from the president.

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp reported a second-quarter loss of $238 million, directly plummeting prices of the cryptocurrencies in seven, according to a statement Monday. That company with a $20 million shortfall during the same period a year earlier for the Truth Social parent.

The results accelerate a long-running financial slide for Trump Media, which has failed to turn a profit despite a raft of new ventures, including a plan to multiple digital assets and acquire an experimental clean-energy company. Last month, the company announced it would sell faster

ments to Trump's market-moving Truth Social home — one of the three Knockout markets that are at even random some free-market fundamentals on Wall Street. The product called Truth API, costs $40,000 to $100,000 a month.

Interest that the Executive Officer Kevin McGuire and Trump-Media has already signed up more than 10 customers, primarily from high-frequency trading firms, which credit strategies based on information advantage that can come in between $5.5 second. But however, Florida-based Trump Media is looking to reach an even broader group of clients, including retail investors, news organizations and developers of large-language models for artificial intelligence.

McGuire has rejected the idea that the new business is an ethics quagmire as good government groups have said, noting that other social media companies provide a similar service. As for the White House, it denies conflicts even exist between Trump the president and Trump the businessman where his private interests may influence his public policy.

"This can grow into a meaningful,

double-conditioned, but it's just one piece of a broader model on leading strategy," McGuire said during the company's first-ever earnings conference call.

The pivot comes as Trump Media were from other pursuits.

The company is ripped plans to stockpile a 1.5 million share of cryptocurrencies after just a year. It also mixed a plan to offer prediction markets contracts directly on Truth Social.

It's still working to complete its acquisition of TMC Technologies, a closely held company working on nuclear fusion, a meaningful and commercially improves clean-energy source.

Trump started Truth Social after he was kicked off Twitter and Facebook, but the two roammed him more than three years ago, so the company has had to transform itself. Instead of a "free speech" forum, it now acts more like a "four-5 best first" site, a second White House press critic, whose people get scoops from the president on everything from the Iran war to tariffs to the future of the U.S. central bank.

Tourists flock to 'cookation'

European residents escape sweltering temperatures with trips to Hague's study beaches

By Joanna Sroizek and Ray Njissikrijan THE NEW YORK TIMES

THERIAD/IE — A woman spurred on a teenage make a breakout in the age-teen, a picture of anguish, bulbous dot the bright horizon, and word drum music streams from a swelter woman on. The tang of coconut-mara even begins on the early breeze.

Just down the beach, tourists up to 10 minutes, and eat with serve on a pair. A surf school attracts visitors from around Europe. The boardwalk is a swirl of languages — Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish.

This vacation hot spot isn't Mithouse. Not as it Ports, the Anadli Coast, Malaga or Malbura.

It's The Hague, the seat of government for the Netherlands and the home of the International Criminal Court, and it's a prime example of where to have a 'cookation' in an increasingly sweaty Europe.

Although perhaps most commonly known as a centre of justice and politics,

The Hague is home to 7 miles of sandy coastline on the North Sea, along with a squint city center with winding cobbled streets, scenic rands and air pollution. It has long been popular with Dutch and German visitors.

How the city is also attracting tourists from other parts of Europe who are seeking south beaches without sweltering temperatures.

Mental and Paris, for example, eclipsed 100 degrees during the most recent heat years, and past or France and Spain are fighting huge wildbows. The Hague usually has summer highs in the 60s or 70s, though the temperature has crept into the 90s some days with summer.

About 16% of people is a recent survey by the European Travel Commission, which promotes tourism on the Continent, said that were seeking destinations with milder weather. Those can include beaches on Europe's northern coastline, like in The Hague, and in South Africa.

Visits to The Hague, measured by overnight rates, are up by nearly 60% over the past decade, based on data provided by local officials. Visits from Italy and Spain are up 9% over the past two years, while visits overall in that period are up 7%, the local data shows.

Hague officials say they are wary of what increased tourists could bring particularly the overcrowding that has plagued destinations as Southern Europe. They do not want The Hague to become a bachelor prior to paper this dataset data, a 40-minute train ride to the northeast.

"We have a completely different image, and we cherish that image," Marco Rusei, the director of The Hague & Partners, the city's marketing agency said in an interview in the carefully landscaped country and is a coffee shop. This city, as he describes it, is 'high-slope'.

His colleagues say that 'we hoping to bring in the 'offensive' or 'rich女性' to a virtual market and tourism, the city has rules to limit Airbelts. New hotels can plan approach, but very officials said those approvals were limited to avoid expanding the market too much. The city's marketing agency spends all budget on talking up a surf championship in the autumn and Christmas machine in the winter, rather than an attracting people during the summer.

The goal, several local officials said, is to keep the number of tourists coming during the height of summer fairly steady while driving winter numbers during the adjacent seasons.

Sales of existing US homes decline 1.7% in July

By Matt Ott ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed again in July as a result of the end the highest mortgage rates in a year press to be an incommensurable health for many prospective home buyers.

Existing home sales fell 1.7% last month from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.06 million each, the National Association of Business and Travelers.

That's slightly above the 4.59 million press concentrations were expecting, according to Excitist.

July sales, however, were up 0.7% compared with last year.

Home prices continued to rise, hitting unprovened levels for July, NAB said. The U.S. median sales price increased 2% from a year earlier, to $434,500.

In June, the median sales price hit $1.06 million, which was up 0.7% in July, compared to data going back to 1999, NAB said. Home prices have risen on an annual basis for 37 months in a year.

Last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported that the benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate rose to 49%, in high, and fell at just over a year. It was the fifth consecutive week that the average rate rose, marking the latest return for prospective homebuyers who are facing steep borrowing costs.

It is difficult to find good news about the

U.S. housing market from the July report, and Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics.

"No one who has a home already can afford to sell," he said. "People with a big, very 1992-1996 home buyer would need to pro-buying. If no one is selling, no one can be buying, and two parents are low."

Home sales have been mostly hovering close to a 6 million annual year for about three years, for short of the historic norm that is close to 0.2 million.

The U.S. housing market has been in a skimp since 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic on Iowa, sales of previously occupied homes were essentially flat last year, stuck at a 10-year low.

Court OKs revision to Trump suit against BBC

By Erik Larsen and Zos Tillman BLOOMBERG NEWS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump won court permission to revise his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corp. by re-liking his earlier claim that it is a revision by a governmentary carried massive financial damage to his business.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Miami could spare Trump's upholding that under-charge of stock being required to respond to all of the BBC's subpoenas for extensive financial records. The new model argued the subpoenas were justified in order to determine whether Trump's broad anti-company form suffered as much as the president claimed.

The ruling, released Monday, said that Trump may still be required to comply with at least some requests for financial information because his revised lawsuit would keep the original unfulfilling dollar claim for damages. What is the second complaint ultimately changes the scope of records the BBC's entitled business selling up to completely ready to decide, Altman said.

Altman added that a narrowed lawsuit could benefit the BBC's business would lead to a 'substantial diminution' in the damages Trump is potentially able to claim.

Trump sued in December over the BBC's use of a misleading title of a speech. In gave it the support of a new business they smoked, the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The edit, which spliced together and the paper of the speech, made it appear Trump made a direct call for violence. The BBC apologized before Trump sued but denies detaining the president.

BBC believes issued on trying subpoenas to the Trump Organization demanding financial records spanning a period of time before and after the documentary novel.

US Army opens test ranges to speed up weapons production

By Konstantin Tompin ADOCAD ID 99833

CAMP GRATUING. Well, - The US Army has announced that it is opening up test ranges to press companies developing missiles, devices and other equipment. The US Army's report there have quickly for us on the hard-shell.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told reporters of his meeting that the effort will cut months and sometimes years of the cut tape that typically stifles military companies. He pledged to grant companies access to ranges to the U.S. or those belonging to allies always within 30 days of doing military a request through an online marketing firm would be Friday.

“I can take 12 to 18 months for a company that wants to go test the thing that can make a soldier’s life better, that can increase their lability and that can keep them alert,” Driscoll said. “That’s not sufficient.”

The pressmen{winters in the market, really changes around the globe, from the reverse of Global demand that less launched against American forces on the Middle East to Ukraine’s innovation in drone tech-

nology while defending against Russia’s invasion.

But the Army has been trying its ranges on the Pentagon people with the center that can't see, which has almost killed the nation on display of advanced weapons that sometimes costs millions of dollars for a single missile or interceptor.

Driscoll told The Associated Press that policy changes such as making new ranges have accessible were driven in part by his direct return of the war in Ukraine and how quickly that country has moved to produce new weapon systems. The Army secretary had been to ameliorate the long-skill between Russia and Ukraine because there have been negotiations failed.

Pentagon leaders have been trying to increase the tempo of production by examining smaller companies to enter the market in build-boys, effective weapons. Driscoll told reporters that the Army plans to “break down every single horse in that we have put up over the last 20 or 30 years.”

“There are several subjects to get in the mud with such soldiers, to increase, to move behind them,” Driscoll said a roundtable call. “And there are no maintenance at home to we will purchase the things

that will make our soldiers press left in, more safe and keep their control.”

The first company to take advantage of the new program has tested a new cruise missile at the Army’s missile test range in Mexico.

“I’m looking at, in executive with Covenant Industries, and the company ‘demonstrated not only the performance of the Anthon missile but also cooperable pathway now available to every company.’”

The program allows drone and missile companies to develop new ranges to remove rockets, drones and antiforms. weapons even if that company does not have a military control.

The system can be weapon fared to the battlefield center as a recent think tank and you found that the conflict with Iran has used up more of the U.S. military’s diminished intelligence advanced interceptors such as Patriot and FAAAF missiles, used to defend against or threaten such a missiles and drones.

The soldiers, conductors like Coven, H. Aranga, and International Studies, also noted that this shortfall could force the U.S. and its Middle Eastern allies to take over risk to conserve these air defenses.

GLASSES

more than 6

While MetroSpacechans flashing white light on their frames to notify people they're being recorded, some users have been hiding or disabling the light by hiring people to drill into their reverse or they can record in stretch mode.

Concern about the glasses has exploded at once, when of interaction with people who don't know they're being recorded go viral on metalmedia.

On Instagram, some videos depict people getting approached in multi-glass media, which had no college campuses and sidewalks. While the videos are portrayed as jokes, the people found don't appear to know they're being recorded and sometimes seem uncomfortable, telling the strangers to learn them share or stop having the news.

The worry has proved proved social events, with comedian Jimmy Kimmel calling the Meta devices, “parent-glasses” on natural television and singer's band. The video is a good news about smart glasses are “articero”.

A spokesperson for Meta said people are in AI glasses because they're “parented helpful” for tasks such as listening to music, live treasures or hands-free chat. Meta last month updated its smart glasses so users can share their files to have tampered with.

Meta plans to intrangle the three protections as the glasses become more helpful.

“The people who use them and those around them need to trust them. That's why we built private into our AI glasses from the ground up,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

Instagram, which is owned by Meta, has been disabling accounts and taking down some of these information, took values for violating the platform's rules against harassment and bullying.

With such games such as agony, lovingly flaming, and many working on or

planning to release high-tech eyewear, analysts say consumer adoption could grow.

But they, too, will have to navigate privacy concerns surrounding smart glasses.

In April, the American Civil Liberties Union and more than 70 organizations sent a letter to Meta urging the company to commit to not releasing any facial recognition features on smart glasses and elsewhere, noting it poses a “serious threat to privacy and civil liberties.”

A spokesperson said “we find decision has been made” and that Meta will approach the outburst of any information thoughtfully and transparently.

Smart glasses have faced public backlash before.

More than a decade ago, early adopters of Google Glass unconserved criticisms (they used the 10,000 pair of smart glasses in socially mass-quality media) to consider people and staring off into space while using smart websites. Their nickname Chandraku, Suga, which unveiled more powerful 8,000 augmented reality-based digital逸品 games that740,000 video in a video and video in bright yellow working market in 2024, but the product flopped.

The revolt brewing against smart glasses has made some concerns even about where they're wearing the quality and potential without the insistence.

Ben Koch, a New York creator who poses about warfare on TikTok, says his Meta smart glasses are taken to make the video take hands live calls. Family and friends, though, have asked if his “get glasses” are recording.

“I don’t wear them to avoid events because I don’t even wear it get into that conversation,” he said. “I’m not using it to control methods.”

Starting a high-profile social mass-satisfaction event February at the Los Angeles County Airport Court, Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl turned people in the court room to take off any smart glasses, raising concerns

that the jury could be identified. Use of recording devices including drones, isn't generally allowed in courtrooms.

Last year, the University of San Francisco issued a safety advisory about some wearing Meta Ray-Bass sunglasses who was approaching women with “unnamed comments and inappropriate dating questions.”

The man might have been trying to post public videos on social media platforms, and that it was.

Businesses are making their own calls about smart glasses.

The 1-Point Call in front of the 2026 Natural Google Glass is the past, has burned Many glasses from its shoot and door bar.

“Looks your Meta-Spy-Bass display and know, there are officially Ray-Bass and from all of our restaurants. We serve privacy, not addictive surveillance,” a 2026 Natural glass award, which includes business states. The restaurant also doesn't allow people to talk on their glasses and ads.

Meanwhile, people are finding over even to figure out what they're looking for are wearing smart glasses.

Your basement is owned as app to alert people of smart glasses could be nearly after burning about people being recorded without their knowledge. Raloued in February, the app has roughly 150,000 people, and the app also has 1,400,000 with most of the users in the United States and Canada, he said.

Users who have downloaded the app include a strip-Cub cover, a disabling mask and parents.

“It's a social problem that we encounter,” he personal said.

“That we don't value privacy, that we feel entitled to use others for our entertainment or our private gain, and challenging ample-fix-that.”

“We understand who lives in Germany, has used his app, Brandy Glasses, and received an alert about smart glasses on a train, though we couldn't figure out who we wearing them.

Zelenskyy Russia aided by NKorea

Missiles supplied by regime allegedly used in attack that kills 10

By Gita Novikov ASSOCIATED PRESS

KTTG Ukraine - Russia attacked Ukrainian cities with missiles, driven and glide bomb! Fascias killed at least 10 civilians, officials said, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow is getting new military help from North Korea for at more than a year-old invasion.

Zelenskyy said Russian forces used ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea as an overnight attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where a company said seven workers at its steel plant were killed and 21 injured.

These were people including a 10-year-old box were killed by Russian troops and artillery in the central Evaporyshevsk region, authorities said.

In addition to the ballistic missiles, North Korea is preparing to deploy more of its troops to Russia, Zelenskyy said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said North Korea's leader Kim Ang Un signed a strategic partnership agreement in 2024, pledging mutual aid if other country faces agreement.

Kinnia over thousands of troops and huge supplies of weapons to support Fatsushikh scale invasion of Ukraine from a spiesy to the engagement with Moscow is helping improve North Korea's military capabilities, and Zelenskyy said the battle field experience would help Prongnaya menace other

countries in its region.

Ukraine says Russia is a long up to production of ballistic missiles, aiming to exploit Kirov's critical shortage of Paltan for defence interceptors that can stop them, and claims Moscow is preparing to recruit more troops for a new push on the front line that stretches 776 miles along eastern and southern Ukraine.

"Every step Russia takes increasing ballistic missile production, bringing in North Korean equipment, preparing for mobilization," said this shows that Moscow is preparing not for press, but for escalation. Zelenskyy said on social media. In an unusual step, Ukraine's air force didn't see

on its daily report how many missiles Russia launched overnight. It was not clear whether the emission was deliberate, and Kirov officials made no immediate comment.

US-led diplomatic efforts to stop the war have failed as Washington gave Russia aid with the lack of progress and its attention turned to the Iran war.

In an abduction that Putin is determined to press on with the invasion, Russia's highest court on Monday ordered that fullness, the only political party opposing the war, to be excluded from the ballot in the Sept. 18-20 parliamentary election. The Kremlin will not enter serious negotiations

or make meaningful compromises on its demands as long as Putin believes that he has a stable military path to a slanting his full discretion. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said in an analysis Monday.

"Ukraine's Patriot shortages after Russia an opportunity to cause very serious damage to Ukraine over the coming winter and will therefore contribute to blinding meaningful negotiations on protecting the war," it said. "Russian forces also break parts of the Ukrainian capital, Kirov, overnight, according to officials. One strike for the grounds of a children's hospital, having two or more and shattering windows, the

State Emergency Service, said Children and medical workers were in bomb shotters and nobody was hurt, it added. As another location of Kirov, a Russian strike started a fire in a warehouse that spread across nearly 10,000 square feet, according to emergency officials.

The Russian Defence Ministry said the forces were tightened "military industrial facilities and transport and logistics control" in Kirov and Zaporizhzhia with "ground-based provision weapons." It said in a statement that it hit civilian-mening facilities housing drones in Kirov and a metallurgical plant in Zaporizhzhia. Moreover, a major Ukrainian mining and metal

company with operations in Zaporizhzhia said seven of its most plant employees and an staff leader in each defence after a warning of an incoming ballistic missile.

The company, which employs tens of thousands of people, said in a statement that the attack damaged its Mian forces and other equipment had forced the plants to shut down.

Russia targeted Kirov and Zaporizhzhia with Zircon and(-)big missiles and other ballistic missiles, while launching 120 long-range strike drones across the country, Ukraine's air force said.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry said its air force was not to be expelled to expel the attack. The Ukrainian drones over its regions said Crimea, the provincial that Moscow illegally assessed from Kirov in 2014.

Russia's biggest online retailer, Wildberries, said its logistics facilities in the Vavranich region near the Ukrainian border could under attack and caught fire. It added that the fire was extinguished and goods stored there were "largely undamaged."

Ukraine has repeatedly struck Wildberries warehouses and Russian oil facilities on what cap is a strategy to compel Putin to negotiate an end to the invasion.

Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck an oil refinery in Ota in Russia's Orosburg region near Kazakhstan, about 90(miles) from Ukraine, causing a fire. The refinery, with an annual processing capacity of about 40 million barrels of crude oil, produces gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, among other products.

UN: Over 16,000 civilians still held captive by Russia

Official spotlighting plight of Ukrainian cities poor treatment

By EDITH M. LUDWIG ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The United Nations estimated the more than 16,000 civilians detained by Russia during the war in Ukraine and the 16,000 victims of their liberty, many ballistic commercials and on grounds that don't comply with interest rates here.

"While the ballistic commercials torture and ill-treatment" of both Ukrainian civilian detainers and prisoners of war by Russia are continuing, including sexual violence, and Clinicals-Posters. Also, the UN assistant secretary-general for human rights.

She spoke at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council, called the Law and the United Kingdom on Monday to spotlight the plight of civilians and soldiers taken during the war that Russia launched with a full scale invasion of the neighbor in February 2022. The council, which counts Russia as a

permanent member, heard the accounts as both Russia and Ukraine have rendered trouble in the four-year conflict.

Since the invasion, John said, UN human rights and laws amortized 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war and 400 civilian detainers following their release. The UN has not been able to tolerate the need for a new and its estimated figure of those held does not break down how many are adults or children.

More than 95% of the Ukrainian prisoners of war and 85% of the civilian detainers reported being tortured or ill-treated, often repeatedly, the UN official said. They also reported sexual attacks and infamous conditions, including food deprivation and inadequate medical service.

The Geneva-based human rights office "has documented the execution of UN Ukrainian prisoners of war at the beginning of their captivity, and the death of 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war in custody, resulting from torture, denial of medical care or other infamous conditions of detention," John said.

The UN Security Council also heard emotionally wounding accounts from a veteran Ukrainian rights activist Louis Umarova, who called herself a "political prisoner" of the Russians by almost two years, and Khram Leyva Guretsa, a Ukrainian soldier who was among the hundreds that held out for months at the Azovetal steel plant in the besieged city of Martenya before turning themselves over to the invasion in May 2022.

Guretsa, who was born in Martenya in a Ukrainian mother and Cuban father, spent 1,183 days as a POW. He said he would at 100 pounds when he was fined, pulling out apatment of the unaccustomed body to show the council.

He said he was tortured, beaten harder and humiliated more than other prisoners because the Russians suspected that he was a foreign missionary in the United States. The committee returned in plastic bags to the homeland.

Fascias were outraged that someone with a connection to Cuba, whom they consider as old, would fight against their occupation army," said Guretsa, who is

still in the Ukrainian military. He said the Russians tried to break the prisoners' mortality and force them to combat to blackout crimes through torture including freezing, bedding, destruction and sexual abuse, he said.

"Two of my friends were beaten to death in Martenya, common in the Donetsk region," Guretsa said. "Two of my friends died because of the conditions they were put in Russia, and they were returned in plastic bags to the homeland."

For Umarova, her captivity began when she tried to enter Russia from Gorgyachevsk for seriously ill father in Crimea, which is part of Ukraine but has been occu-

pistify Russia since 2014. She said she was placed in detention on "defecated charges." But unlike many others, she was able to contact an attorney. In the third month, she said, her attorney obtained her release through a court order.

"But at soon as the prison gates opened, a bag was put over my head, and I was taken over again," she said. In six months, she said she was marched to seven facilities, calling it "a carvass of depression."

What happened to her, Umarova said, is part of a system Russia uses to unlovelify drain, strain, torture and life-hate charges against civilians. She named half a

UN human rights experts also interviewed 80 Russian and 97 third country national prisoners of war from over 40 countries who were members of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine, said John, the assistant secretary-general.

Ailing US Marine veteran held in Russia on disputed charges released

By Ben Finley and Marilee Lee ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Russia has released an American military veteran who spent more than four years in prison on disputed charges under abuses conditions and was said to be given 50 and are due to being a group advocating for him said Tuesday.

Robert Gilman was on his way to a U.S. military hospital in Texas, where he will be medically and psycholog-

ically assessed and treated, said Eric Leboun, chief strategy officer of Global Reach, a group that's been working on five hits and often American detracts on abroad. Gilman's family has flown to

Tocana he with him, including his mother, who was in Russia attempting to see him. President Donald Trump, however, posted on social media that Gilman will arrive at Andrews Air Force Base in

Maryland outside of Washington on Tuesday evening. "I met spoke to him, and he had not request - A GREAT, three-things when he lands," Trump wrote. "I will take care of that!"

Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin before the release, which Trump said was "very much on a Humanitarian basis." "We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for an one in return," the exchange took place," Trump said.

Gilman, a 32-year-old teacher deceased since 2022, was initially handed a 3 5-year sentence when he was convicted of beating a police officer after being taken off a train for causing a disturbance. His later was convicted of attacking a prison inspector during a school, beating an investigator and assaulting a guard, and he was sentenced to October

2024 to eight years and one month. His sentence was extended last year to 50 years after he was found guilty of assaulting prison guards. Gilman's father has disputed the charges against him. Gilman's name, Louis Hudson, credited Trump and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts with being on about the Marine veteran's release.

"There is no other reason that Robert is alive today other than the President Trump heard about

the case and took action," said Hudson, who thanked Markey "for leading our advocacy efforts to change." "The Russian treated my brother as leader," Hudson said. "They are all in the we reared, other than that he was both an American and a Marine. What did they get out of that? Why did they decline to make wonderful person?"

Robert's Federal Printer, New Jersey, did not respond to a request for comment on Gilman's health deteriorating behind him.

Washington still grapples with Guard

Temporary mission hits 12-month mark, extended until 2030

By Gary Fleish ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — It has been 12 months since President Donald Trump announced a close wide query in the nation's capital, pledging to make Washington 'safe and beautiful' and deploying the National Guard.

But a mission that seemed temporary has been extended through January 2019. Residents and have sided on local officials set off an area of public attempt by the federal government to restrict the heavily Democratic city's extension and, a year in, still quarreled with Trump troops on the streets of the capital's secondary.

'There's a deep town that here we are in the capital of the three world, and our presidential nomadic office update shows that the state's state's legal director of the ACLU of the District of Columbia.' 'DC residents have lived with our National Guard troops in our neighborhood for about a year, despite the absence of any genuine emergency and really any reason for them to be here.'

The continued deployment of the 4 major test for a new battle of political candidates especially is also offered for uniforms that fall. Residents will look to them to push back on the Republicans president's encroachment into the city's affairs — although they've blamed what they can do to counter it.

On Aug. 11, 2020, Trump announced he was launching a federal law enforcement surge in Washington aimed at fighting the state of mag. 4 more than 4,000 military personnel from DC and 24 states and territories were still deployed alongside unknown members in one visible habitat and enforcement officers.

are expected to be withdrawn toward the end of the summer.

Small groups of armed guard members have become a routine presence on the streets. They have supported arrest operations but are also even patrolling tourist areas, such as along the Child Room during the Cherry Blossom Festival and in neighbor-hoods such as Greatgrowth where violent crimes are run.

They've helped with medical emergencies, some removal and hospitalization projects — initiatives that have received support from some residents.

Ensealing the deployment into 2029 will cost about $1.4 billion. The Defense Department estimates that all figures on what's been spent on for an unavoidable, but the Congressional Budget Office projected in a report earlier this year the total cost for the first year of the deployment would be around $100 million, based on a monthly crop level of about $200. Figure that's the natural throughout the mission.

'President Trump has transformed DC from a crime-ridden city into a rich and beautiful town for residents and visitors alike.' White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson said in an email.

Figures posted to the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia credit the surge with more than 15,000 arrests.

Crime, which was falling before the surge began, continues to drop Metropolitan Police Department statistics show over all crime has down 20% through Friday, compared with the same period in 2020. That includes a 52% drop in homicides, from 97 to 91.

But there's a debate over how much of that success is owed to Trump's mission to re-understand local efforts to ship away at the crime rate.

What's certain is he经历 the weight of the deployment and does was a time way to push back against it.

a funeral challenging the deployment is pending the critics of the surge aren't hopeful.

'The fact that we will have the National Guard, adding our streets a real lane with no real us right is really almost doing,' City Council member Erianne Nadeau said.

The New Washington is a congressionally established federal district. Trump has much greater influence over the period and DC National Guard, which he controls directly, including the commanding position.

The Home Rule Act, passed in 1975, allows residents to vote for local leaders, including the mayor and council members. Congress has oversight over the local budget and review authority of all laws passed and includes city to continue district officials to the Capitol outlining to explain themselves. The DC, delegate to Congress, is currently positive.

The city's governmental structure could not be used to make it easy for Trump to do

what he has done, Nadeau said.

'There isn't really any political liability for national leaders to move with DC because while the city's raw outside of these directly impacts all the way.'

The law enforcement surge played a major role in Democratic primary elections and the national candidates who have made Washington's minimum and minimum top priorities.

James Leven Gowry, a democratic minister who is the overwhelming Democratic city is likely to be in next major, has already enabled Trump. He threatened to put the city under federal control of the vote.

Robert White, another pro-statehood candidate, won the Democratic primary for the city's state in Congress. And while they are hamstrung by the city's status, both hope they have strangled the 'can help fight back against the president and the deployment.

White told The honest and free to plans to build

'an army of residents' and all are target voting districts and work at 'an electing' people critical of the district and 'electing those who do support DC.'

The first outgoing pretrial, Muriel Bowser, avoided the kind of failing rhetoric, and personal attacks typical of other high-profile Democratic groups. The congress-related intervene-tion into her city. A major part of that was to eradicate the Trump's second favorite state independence the city has.

An unskilled retirement from Bowser's office said that despite challenges to the city's state, the city has progressed in achieving its goals. 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our city remains our top priority and ensuring home rule remains our North Star.' The statement said.

'We're more than monument and politics.' Bowser said in a 48-second video printed in her 5' account.

The first 10 years of the past of more than 700,000 targeting Americans who serve in the military, run businesses and raise families and 'we don't have voting representation in Congress. We don't control the DC. National Guard, and we don't have full access to full American and American power.

The National Guard deployment has raised concerns among some over 40 in the operating uniforms and the 2018 presidential election will look like with troops on the streets.

'The last time this president was surprised to come out of power, Jan. 6. Supposed,' said John Deakin, co-founder of FAAQIC, an activist group that has prevented the deployment by following and filming National Guard troops in part as an difficulty for only from crime concerns. 'Tung out of the happiest again, but this time he has 1,000 troops standing at the ready to be part of that situation. We know, that's our worst.'

The strikes are part of a escalation by the Houthis against government forces in Yemen and oil facilities in neighboring Saudi Arabia, which supports the Yemen government, and the kingdoms of shipping in the Red Sea.

The Houthis attacks could evignify Yemen's civil war following a 2022 erace, and upon a new front in the Middle East war.

Storm nomenclature reflects culture

Regional names for typhoons in Pacific debuted in 1990s

By Francesca Reginaldo THE NEW YORK TIMES

If you see that a storm named Into-som is gathering about the Pacific Ocean, it's not an error.

In June, as the Pacific typhoon seams began, the Hong Kong Observatory said it had shown the city's bite-size course as no later contribution to the list of names for tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific.

It's not the first time that Hong Kong has named a storm after a beloved symbol Typhoon Dolphin, which brought heavy vans to China, Taiwan and Japan over the weekend takes its name from the city's animal mascot.

Dolphin will be followed by two tropical storms that have formed in the Pacific. Police, named by Macau for the speciality of, and Channel, named after a Lactation tree.

These names are compiled by the Typhoon Committee, which was formed in 1948 by the National Bureau of the World Meteorological Organization to help Asia Pacific countries prepare for tropical storms. The country's first airmen, the first airmen of 100 names, divided into five columns, that it cycles through every four or five years. Appealing on the front of the column.

Each of the committees' members were including the United States, China, the Kansas, Hong Kong and Malaysia — contributes 10 names. They are drawn from each member's language and culture, resulting in storms named for animals, plants, historical and mythological figures, and, of course, food.

That means Into-som will eventually be joined by typhoons such as Gangyin (ling, in Korean), Shanghai (the Thai word for "saw") and Erica in Micronesia, in greenlight, according to the

Typhoon 'Kidanda, or Haiyan, left: destruction in Gakuin, Philippines. The storm's name was later retired. BRYAN DEUTON/THE NEW YORK TIMES 2010

committee's latest list of names released in March. Here's how the storm works.

A FORECASTERS STARTED PRACTICE

Tropical cyclones form when warm waves water, moist air and light winds spread long enough to combine into mixture that produces violent winds, large waves and torrential rain. Those that form over the western Pacific Ocean and affect Asia are called typhoons.

During World War II, meteorologists in several Asian countries were prevented from working in occupying Japanese forces because weather forecasts were considered sensitive military intelligence, said the Latvia, in禄口s or the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronom-

ical Services Administration. After the war, these countries relied on American military forecasters in the US Pacific territory of Guam.

To distinguish among storms, American forecasters first compiled a list of female names, often drawn from their wives and girlfriends, according to meteorologists. In the 1970s, amid the gender equality movement, the US government began adding male names. Later, China Ying, a former director of the Hong Kong Observatory, said in a 2007 video interview.

SOME PROCESSES OPEN TO PUBLIC

Members of the Typhoon Committee pushed to replace American names with regional ones in the 1990s. Some opened the process to the public. "We wanted to have all of the old names behind in the 20th century,"

said Livier, who created the criteria for the Philippines public submarines in 1994.

He said the Typhoon Committee rejected names that were unknown or served negative connotations in other languages. Storms also cannot be named for public figures, including politicalism and coloration.

In 2005, the committee rejected two names: chosen by the public, in Hong Kong, Taichi, the ancient Chinese martial art, could be mistaken as a Japanese music name, while Kupek, the composer, sounded like a slang term for sexual organs in some languages, Latin said.

Into-som, he contrasts, was uncontroversial, Lee Yuh Sing, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Observatory, said it was selected by the public in 2018, along with Japanese and Huo-shi, the Latminers' word for duffball.

NAMED IMPLIED? REGIONAL CULTURE

Aside from Into-som and Dolphin, Hong Kong has submitted đneyas, named for the tree, and Latourcili for a mountain overlooking the city.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said as no one that is typically contributes the Japanese names of soundations, such as Korea ("puppy," for Canis Minor) and Koguma ("bear oak," for Chou Minor). The committee's list also includes mythological figures such as the Chinese folk heroine Malim, the Micronesian nature goddess Sinisha and the Vietnamese mountain god Son Tiah.

Malaysia submits the names of native flora and fauna that are easy to pronounce. But the Complete History, said Mardy and Mohamed, a spokesperson

for the Malaysian Meteorological Department. Other countries also draw inspiration from nature, including Vietnam's Ma Long Ren, Thailand's Khamon (meaning "jackfruit") and the Philippines' Mount Antares.

DEADLY STORMS' NAMES OFFEN REMOVED

Some names are retired after becoming associated with particularly devastating or deadly storms.

The Philippines stopped using the locations that heed after the 2010 typhoon that killed more than 6,000 people. The Typhoon Committee retired the storm's official name, Haiyan, in 2018.

This year, the committee killed from wars to the last to replace Mao-ri, which was estimated after the storm ceased more than a dozen deaths in the Philippines in 2024.

Ousted Syrian dictator sentenced to death in absentia for war crimes

FROM NEWS SERVICES

DAMARICUS, Syria — Syrian court on Tuesday sentenced named President Bashar Assad and his brother in absentia for murder, torture and crimes against humanity committed before and during the country's 16-year civil war that left about half a million people dead.

The verdict by a court of Damascus on the first against Assad or any members of his inner circle since his family's five decades in power came in an end 20 months ago. They are mostly symbols, however, because Assad and his brother Maher had fled to Russia, where they received asylum after the Syrian government's state of knowledge in December 2024.

Six other former officials were also sentenced to death in absentia. The only former officials sentenced to death and in custody is Assad's memorial crimes. And Nujib, who remains a crackdown on dissent that led to an uprising that sparked the civil war high-trend inside a cap wearing a pioneer's uniform in the judge and his sentence ahead, and a crowd gathered out of the security guard of court house.

Even though Assad is unlikely to ever face justice, the verdict will be popular among many Syrians, especially those who have been killed. However, that the new government hasn't moved with enough speed or strength against Assad on figures.

The 1994 Assad and other agencies to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity's said Judge Prabham's drive of Arran's district to the United States, live on state TV — a contract with Assad overstate, which were conducted in secret.

Nujib is one of the highest ranking security officials to

be put central. He is a former army brigadier general who was in charge of political security in Syrian southern Dara province.

During his tenure, more than a dozen teenagers who scrambled anti-government graffiti at a school wall were arrested and tortured. The case became a catcher for mass protests against the repressive policies of Assad's security forces.

The protests were met by several government crackdown in 2011 that spiraled into the civil war that ended in 2024 with Assad's outlay in a lightning-ruled offensive.

Some of Nujib's victims were present at the court-house, including a term in 2013. "Today we reached a point where the blood of the art wanted," said Mousavry Rayamah, about those who died in the crackdown. Fifteen years later, "there is happiness that but Nujib was sentenced to death," he said.

In a 6-month study, Kishori judge on Tuesday ruled against President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to create a federal vote that and directly involve the U.S. Postal Service in destroy operations in a war that would limit non-violating.

U.S. District Court Judge Sadie Talwani had already halted the order Trump signed in March, his second one attempting to set national elections in the United States, which the same state's state attorney general is granting summary judgment, preventing the cover of Trump's order from taking office.

Tuesday's ruling creates another legal hurdle for the Trump's administrative in overcovers should it put the initial injunction directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"That it is now less than 60 days before the November 5, 2020 midterm elections and no more the critical issue for an injunction to prevent

Defendants from changing election rules on the eve of the election," she wrote.

The Trump administration in July requested the Supreme Court halt lower court decisions that blocked the sweeping changes in nearly half the country.

In the latest lawsuit, Talwani, nominated by Democrat(s), President Barack Obama, ruled with the League of Women Voters and other voting rights groups.

Her ruling granting a preliminary injunction barred the Postal Service from taking any steps to implement the order for the year's midterm elections. He said the administration has so far declined to defend the constitutionality of the order.

Canadian wildfire: A deadly wildfire in Western Canada that's forced some 20,000 people to flee grew overnight with millions of young winds, challenging efforts to contain it and fully unmet the damage, authorises said Tuesday.

About 100 firefighters from Mexico were on the

Cliff Chapman, director of provincial operations for the British Columbia White fire service, said crews were working around the clash to establish control lines and make it safe for evacuation residents to return home.

BEN JONES 1942-2026

Character actor switched to Ga. politics after 'Dukes of Hazzard'

By Glenn Rifkin THE NEW YORK TIMES

Ben Jones, a character actor who gained fame as Center, the self-proclaimed Southern "redneck" on the hit-238x television series "The Dukes of Hazzard" that aired from 1979 to 1995, and who later served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from Georgia, died Sunday at his home in Washington, Virginia. He was 64.

The cause was a heart attack, said his wife, Alma Vance.

Jones overcame two decades of alcoholism, multiple divorces, numerous arrests and time spent in jail before being cast as Center. Davenport, the county had amiable mechanics on "The Dukes of Hazzard."

In that role, he repaired the show's signature cast: the General Loo, a 1969 Dodge Charge-the-to-magenta-the-two main characters – the mountaine-running cousins Bo and Luke Duke – in their never-ending duntays and car chases with local authorities.

Initially a minor character known as "Crazy" Center, he was transferred, at Jones' insistence, from a one-dimensional Southern caricature into a fun-loving, but loyal companion who became one of the show's most popular characters.

"The Dukes of Hazzard" was disparaged by William Paley, CEO CEO, and dismissed by critics when it aired in January 1979 at a midseason replacement. Howard Rosenberg, a TV critic for the Los Angeles Times, predicted, "This show will not last past the first commercial break."

Instead, it became a list for the network, consistently ranking among the top five shows and drawing tens of millions of viewers to the Friday morning time slot. Jones would later say that "The Dukes of Hazzard"

Ben Jones appeared in more than 300 stage productions during his long acting career. RICK DIAMOND-SETTY 2007

succeeded because of its winning message.

"In our show the good guys always won, and nobody really ever got hurt," Jones wrote in his 2008 memoir, "Redneck Boy is the Promised Land." "There was comic action and mock violence, but in the end nobody blad and nobody suffered real pain. Crime and good news paid off, and virtue was its own reward."

Over his long career, Jones appeared in more than 300 stage productions and worked with stars such as James Earl Jones, Anthony Hopkins, Eva Marie Saint and John Trenchia. But his part is tended to be small, and he never again attained the recognition he enjoyed as Center.

In 1986, after the show was canceled, Jones, with his Southern charm and athletic charisma, was persuaded by Democratic Party operations to run in Georgia's 4th Congressional District against Rep. Pat Swindall, the popular young Republic can incumbent.

He decided to disclose his troubleshoot in detail, knowing that it would eventually emerge, and his next became more of an asset than a liability. As he liked to say, it was less about falling down than about getting back up.

Short-moment and facing a better-flame and opponent, Jones lost his first race,

though it was closer than expected. He ran again two years later, and his prospects improved after Swindall was indicted in multiple charges of tying to a grand jury.

Jones won and served two terms in Congress. After redistricting took his seat, he lost a 1994 bill to unseat Rep. Neve Gargiich in a neighboring district.

After his political career foundered, Jones opened a combination museum, cafe and marketplace in Virginia devoted to "The Dukes of Hazzard."

Benjamin Lewis Jones was born Aug. 30, 1941, in Tatboro, North Carolina, one officer son of Robert Jones, a railroad section foreman, and Da Virginia Stephens Jones, the daughter of a railroad section foreman.

At the University of North Carolina, he discovered an interest in acting. Though he was often drunk, he said, he showed a natural talent smutays and appeared in many student productions. His struggle with alcohol addiction lasted for about 20 years.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Rachel, from an earlier marriage to Mary Alice Beall, another daughter, Jeanne, from a relationship with a friend, a son, Walker, from his marriage to Vivian Walker, three step children, and 10 grandchildren.

Developers in Africa pick cheap Chinese AI models over US ones

By Paul Morze, Adam Satterman and Aaron Kosik THE NEW YORK TIMES

NAIROBI, Kenya – When Ernest Mowbaza, a tech developer in Uganda, was building an artificial intelligence system last year tailored for his country's many languages, he tested American and Chinese tools to see which one could help Chinese.

The AI model from Chinese internet given Alibaba handled Uganda's dozens of languages better than anything from Meta or Google. Mowbaza said. It was deconegrative, and he could customize the model with his own data.

"We want to build things as cheap as possible, yet have been work really well," said Mowbaza, a former research scientist at Google.

His system, called Sunflower, is now used across Uganda, including its features to receive weather information and crop advice in local districts.

Mowbaza, 47, is one of thousands of developers across Africa who have turned to Chinese AI models in the past year. In Kenya, entrepreneurs are using the models to streamline legal and business services in Nigeria, where they are educational tools that teach high school students. In Ghana, developers are building local charities.

China's AI is sniping, especially in developing countries, as people look for the best possible system at the lowest possible cost. Unlike models made by the leading American AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic – which are closed and change fees – the Chinese systems are publicly available to download and modify without payment or approval.

Chinese "open-source" models account for half of total AI use on OpenBostics, a service with 400 AI models for users to choose from, up from less than 25% a year

Technicians work July 6 at one of Kenya's AI data centers in Nairobi. KANG-CHUNG CHENG/THE NEW YORK TIMES

ago, according to New York Times analysis of data from a million customers. Chinese models are also 10 of the 25 most downloaded open-source systems on Haggard, Pao, another AI database.

In more than two dozen interviews across Kenya, Uganda and other countries, developers, policymakers and executives described a rapidly changing AI market where cost, computing resources, data control and customization mattered more than where a model was made. Often they were not looking for bleeding-edge AI. They just wanted something that worked well enough on these businesses.

Using Chinese models now like owning a house while using U.S. models was like renting one, they added. Rather than spending millions to train a model from scratch, developers can download a Chinese system and build an entirely new product on top of it, paying mainly for services. In contrast, U.S. models are some one-five-all technology needing subscriptions and less depending on the job.

"Why use an expensive Ferrari to do the school run when a Toyota hatchback can do the same?" said Moses Kembana, a Nairobi entrepreneur who runs a digital marketing agency, Dotaavvy, adding that

Chinese models can be up to 90% less expensive when including costs like computing infrastructure.

Chinese officials hope their gains in Africa are a preview of things to come. Last month, powerful new Chinese AI systems rattled Wall Street and Silicon Valley, making Sunrise Washington that U.S. tech dominance could be undercut.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is using AI as a form of soft power. In a July conference in Shanghai, he said Chinese models in more reliable and cheaper and warned that AI's benefits must be shared or they would create "new historical statistics." Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and seven other African countries signed an AI post with China at the event to promote international cooperation.

Chinese firms are also courting African developers with fees computing and hands-on engineering help, developers said. Many Chinese-made smartphones in Africa come with Chinese AI tools pretensified.

At the same time, China's AI industry faces challenges. Companies have struggled to make money from their users and less security questions about data and links to Beijing.

Many African developers still pay for U.S. AI models, especially for technical tasks like coding.

CHICAGO THEATER REPORT

New life in Spiegel tent

Kokandy musicians unionize and Writers Theatre has fiscal success

Chris Jones

The former Chicago home of Teatro ZinZanov on Randolph Street (the Spiegel tent inside the Cambria Hotel at 12 W. Randolph St.) is to be replaced on an unspecified date by something called Kermon, the Tribune has learned. The Kermon website references "a new immersive entertainment destination in Chicago where dining, cocktails, live performances, and unexpected experiences come together under one roof," which sounds much like the near-fueled ZinZanov, which embolics multi-year and under various incarnations and producers last January.

UNION MUSICIANS

FOR 'KEYLL & WIDE'

The Chicago Federation of Musicians Local 10-209 says that Kokandy Productions has signed an agreement with the union ahead of the transfer of its show "Myll & Hyde" to the Broadway Playhouse (375 E. Chestnut St.) from Sept. 8 to Oct. 25, hosted by Broadway in Chicago. The production features a live, 10-poor orchestra, bigger than the number of actors on stage. The American Federation of Musicians said that "many of the musicians who performed in the acclaimed original production were already free/nice members of the American Federation of Musicians. Kokandy Productions' decision to voluntarily recognize the CPM acknowledged the vital contribution that live professional musicians made to the production's success." The overall production, however, remains unfulfilled with Actors Equity.

For the fall Humanities

Festival, a little music therapy

Chances are, no matter what happens on Nov. 3, after the upcoming midterm elections, the day will not pass without agria and swears. You will need some apart time, as hour of reflection, a chance to vent, a little contemplation.

Dinner partner blamed for allergic reaction that landed woman in ER

Dear Sir: About once a month a group of us from America, you're distant. At our last dinner, I was sitting next to a woman I know casually.

The day after this dinner, the woman complied with the person who organized the event that she had to go to the ER because of a reaction to what I ordered. The woman was a man who was who she knew, but I did not.

Here is the amazing part I did not have this.

TV REVIEW

'Ted Lussy' start new adventure on pitch

Coach returns to Richmond to mold Lady Greyhound.

By Robert Lloyd LOS ANGELES TIMES

After three years, "Ted Lussy" has returned to the pitch.

Ted Lussy is of "ft-titled season finale, which seemed until now to be a series finale. Irvingly most every character's set to a satisfying, modern ascension – the less satisfying ones were just as credible – while pointing to a future you were free to imagine, or the interesting more about. Or you could write fun fiction. (People do.) I loved the show, but in absence has not been a painful one.

Anyway, it's back on Apple TV and LongJail enough, little by speaking, it's a new adventure, as one Indiana Jones movie might follow another, with Jason Rudolph (the character returning to Richmond) manage a new woman's secret team, a person raised way back at the end of season 2, and which now has "been there years in the making."

Where are we now? Star player Jamie Tartt has departed for show all the time, in that the most important coach turned competition toward 10 main Nine Shuller is nowhere to be seen. But at much way he said of the whole of ARC Richmond, a good, well-attended, who took over as manager when Ted returned to Kansas City, Missouri, to spend more time with one theory that his body, replacing Jane Turner, and Coach Brand (Howdan Brand), who has turned into an uncommunicative cause of late

spectacular, and the most recent story, though certain fans within a city of hope without the world of the series might prefer that it was.

Jason Rudolph as Ted was in chair/counter, John Chilton, playboy, Tanya Reynolds, and others - of Ted Lussy. SAND TV

Your episodes out of 10 have been made available for review. The first is something of a hurdle, bogged down in contrivance to get Ted back to Richmond from Kansas City, where he has been "trying to help (Henry) become the best version of himself."

The question is whether Ted, working part time as the assistant manager of a supermarket, is being the best version of himself. The last issue is every time Ted recognizes, is no.

Naturally, he spends a sunshine all over the place, being who he is, but there is not the future yet, would have written for him, nor one suggested by the third season finale, where we saw him coaching (Henry's soccer team, Ryan Jove) and a place to come back from.

And so club-sector Rebecca Wolton (Hannah Waddingham), director of operations Leslie Higgins

Governor Swift and a team of all marketing Keeley Jones (Jane Temple) show up on Ted's doorstep to propose that he manages the Lady Greyhound's, "to lay the foundations of the Richmond culture that you around with our men." (He has not been checking his messages, apparently, encountering their in-person, three-person visit.)

In addition to dropping the person into place, much of the system's episode seems meant to satisfy an impulse to show off Kansas City – huddling give up in the story. There are smaller, in the direction he became eachcoaching in stained clothes for Rebecca. There's a trip to CPSC Stadium. "The first person's funded stadium in the world solely for you women's soccer," to see the Kansas City Current play.

Finding the Ameri-can Jazz Museum closed,

Higgins had an unfinished as a double banish! wanders across 10th Street to the Negro Longarm Roof of Museum, where a friendly doctor (Milton Carter) rebuck him on his history, including along with me to picture Santa Paige, with oddly unexpected documentary footage (Higgins ventures that their experience is "quite useful to how women in England women allowed to play, but half the year, it's also her little host doesn't down with a well-aimed, "Misturian.")

"They didn't do it for fame or better," they did it "came to one play would have been uncoephable," he's told. Or, as former ARC Richmond striker Dani Reyss said of our "first-hall a day."

Things improve in the more natural second episode (and improve from there), which takes us finally back to Richmond.

Ted's not real absentee to boring Kansas City is almost too easily overcome by suggesting that Henry and his mother, Michelle (Andrea Andrie), the co-bur not satiruged with, come with him.

Along with your all-deadness over the first three seasons, Ted needs someone new to charm, and that will be coach Alice Chilton (Tanya Reynolds), who had hoped for the manager to be a better and more old person, does and human can, though perhaps rightly offended by being passed away.

Reynolds, who'll certainly emerge as the season's star, makes a big impression for holding things in, acting almost entirely with her eyes, or their own characters a smile in spite of herself. It explores as huge. Among the players, our attention is directed to Boots (Jude Muck), whom

we notice because of her short-occupied hair, and because she's the god-bogers, and has a quick-though life's a power-blown, 'name of the big duke well,' (much has become the way's wear gloves) 'if the priceless to keep things terrible.' What's the point of life if you're not feeling off? Boots side in another of the three's sampler sentiments.

Luzies (Tony Murray) stands out because she actively co-uses all with a wide range of ideas and is older and more mature than the others, as well as Gemma (Abbe Hera), by virtue of having unresolved faith and the 80th Alice, and having like Ted, is he talked with the team.

The unabiding aspect of it all will be emphasized, of course – a new team, in common-being second division, would not care locker room as commode-men, a moment with sexism that may or may not reflect actual friends, attitudes towards the new war.

Inherent themes, always present on so to Rebecca and Keeley, not unreasonably take the long round, with Reyss co-over corrects in the thought that she might not be one – a funny conversation with Harriet Waller as her mother comes in the way – and the new Ullman arrives in Rynolds 4.

Friendship ‘special sauce’ of cult comedy

Dynamic unchanged as ‘Super Troopers’ extends into trilogy

By Jake Coyle ASSOCIATED PRESS

A quarter of a century is a long time for mustache rules and spray binges, but ‘Super Troopers’ has gotta to let etiology out of the simple joys of friends getting around.

The comedic troupe Broken Lizard, a group of college buddies who began performing together at Colgate University, broke through with 2005’s ‘Super Troopers’ Made for less than $1 million, the movie cast Jay Chandrasekhar (who directed), Kevin Hellerman, Steve Lemms, Paul Senn and Syk Deshaulks are a group of juvenile Vermont state troopers. A three-timmy-loss Brian Coe played their cantankerous chief.

The movie became an unlikely cult list, making many times over what made in theaters on VHS and DVD. Roger Blunt begrudgingly called it ‘the kind of more than make you feel like it.’

Not all movies look like they were here to make, but ‘Super Troopers’ did. For Broken Lizard, the difference between the movies and the Super sort is almost nonassistent. It’s like they’re living out the dream of every group of flares college jabs. The film is about that being almost like the ‘special sauce in the movies’. Account falls 30 years of friendship. Even the best actors cast do it! Senn’s can be her but fellow members make him question. The film is too.

“We, may be Al Pacino could like it.”

Broken Lizard has kept at it, making half a discomfort in time. In the intervening years, big scorers comedy has grown all the dead, so it hasn’t always been easy. They round the crowd. Spring is the first time in 2005’s ‘Super Troopers 2.’

But with ‘Super Troopers 2,’ now in theaters, they’re back again as instant sunglasses, broad-930mmed hats and, of course, mustaches. Alongside big-budget blockbusters like ‘Spider-Man: Brand New

Kevin Hellerman, from left, Paul Senn, Steve Lemms, Jay Chandrasekhar and Syk Deshaulks, seen July 23, return as Vermont state troopers in the movie ‘Super Troopers 2.’ The third film is a franchise that began 23 years ago. CHRIS FIELDS.COM

Day” and “The Odoom,” ‘Super Troopers 4’ will try to hold onto its narrow stretch of highway.

“It’s kind of a show-business struck to the afar to make night or time movies with your friends from village,” says Chandrasekhar. “We certainly never thought it could get the far.”

“Super Troopers” wasn’t the first movie Broken Lizard made. In 1996, they released ‘Puddle Drones’ a comedy shot entirely on Colgate’s campus. It didn’t get shot that day, so they only rod hope for ‘Super Troopers’ was that it play somewhere, anywhere. Around 5km, the patient was performing in New York and touring college campuses. Road trips inspired the movie.

“We were getting pulled over a lot. You talk a lot of snack when you see the copy,” Lemms says. “But the second they pull up in the car, you’re immediately in both kissing mode. We always wondered what the copy were thinking of, they knew how much pretty they had over us and how

much they could serve with us.”

One of the movie’s most famous scenes featured two prominent (Lemms and Senn) puffing over Jim Kulligan, leaving the course of giving him a ticket, they play a game where one has to say “never” 10 times in place of “new” Over the years, they’ve heard countless stories of everyone from police officers to pilots doing the same.

“My friend is a pilot for United Airlines, and he said the stratum rules communication system is not dooming in movies,” Chandrasekhar says.

“Super Troopers,” the group has come to realize, has filtered into culture as much through traffic stops as streaming services. Sometimes, it has been to don’t handle.

“I once got pulled over doing 120 miles per hour. The cop looked in the window. He said, ‘Mistry, do you have any election fast you. Super Troopers?’ I could. Lemms, laughing ‘I’d the end, be brought over his ticket book and asked me for a photo and

an autograph. His hands were trembling. I signed the ticket book and made sure I didn’t sign me the third line. We took million by the side of the road.”

The group of the movie’s Lizard are all now in their late 1980s, but little of their dynamic has changed. In character, they playfully run on each other — especially Hellerman’s look (described Rodney Parva — but with an affection immediately recognizable to a certain kind of profile, friend group.

That was true, too, over a recent interview by Jared Broken Lizard was in the middle of a cross-country promotional tour. (One trip to India) After topping a Long Radio can are, to register a cruise complaint.)

“We have families and our own lives and stuff, and when we come together, we like summer camp,” Hellerman says.

Twenty-five years of ‘Super Troopers’ has meant a lot of months in micturition. They usually share them right over but have to grow them back for marketing the release. “The studio,” says Hellerman,

“thinks the muttas has are the stars of the movie.”

Living with ‘Super Troopers’ has often, stronger legacies. The first film is recently in India but is not a long, imaginary act. That, they all agree, they’re too old for now.

“We’re only done it once since,” says Chandrasekhar, shaking his head. “It’s not a good idea. It’s not a healthy choice.”

“We’ll go and do things like interviews or talk shows,” Lemms adds. “You walk in the room, and every new and then you see other bottles of maple syrup, and your heart starts to sink.”

In ‘Super Troopers 5,’ time has also changed. The stories give their first electric police car, a development that figures surprisingly central to the plot. Cops, John O’Bingen (Cecilia Spaggy), with retirement, Coe is returning to ‘Super Troopers’ — one of his most randomly delighted screen credits — after his acclaim was on HBO’s ‘Necromous’. “He brings gravitas, and what’s good about that is it makes us more absurd and silly because we’ve got a

real actor in the room,” says Senn. “He forefiles also because we can barely hit our marks, and he’s super professional. It makes us red up being the goodly kind.”

But the main story lies in, for Chandrasekhar’s Accot ‘Theory’ Ramadhan, a diabolical development. His other, Senn (Hannah Simons), kills it love with Parva. As the re478ign to plan a wedding, Theory does whatever he can to sabotage the relationship. “We’re to love all over this movie,” says Lemms. “This is the most loving movie we’ve ever made.”

But it remains unlikely surprising to the gang that ‘Super Troopers’ has had the kind of life it has.

“George Lucius didn’t conceive of making a trilogy when he made ‘Star Wars,’ but it did very well, as did ‘Super Troopers,’” Lemms says. “So here we are making a trilogy.” “We’re trying to bring back good old-fashioned B-rimed American theatrical comedy. That’s not of the mission here,” Chandrasekhar says.

Message on power of family lost in unfocused plot of 'Last House'

By Dominic Baez (UATTA, TIMES)

The promise of 'The Last House' the new sci-fi thriller from Netflix, is promising. A family bulwizy by the always wonful life threat Lee and Wagner Minors, a trapped in a house by forces beyond their understanding.

Day-risers into weeks, and then months, a full fridge slowly inspires out, hopes of rescue date into a new polyclinic despair. But for as often as that promise keeps you interested in what happened out - what's lacking outside the unsympathetic windows and doors? Why won't it stop raising? Will they survive? - 'The Last House' just as often bans you feeling confused.

Divorce by Louis Laverne from a script by Matthew Robinson, the Seattle-set film - highlighted by establishing shots of the Space Needle, apparently the city's only recognizable feature - looks any real focus. It features someone throws but never allows the individual elements to coalesce into anything resembling a through line.

Once they're trapped in

their home, and it begins ruining incessantly (there's a joke about Seattle weather to be made here), father Jason and mother Ann (Minors and Lee, respectively, and the best part of 'The Last House') emphasize the importance of family and resilience in their children. But that message gets mindful (to chance execution, it's hard to identify with a family that's so incredibly calm, collected and capable that it takes them weeks to break out about not being able to go outside.

There are messages of community and how we treat the creatures on share that planet with, but they, too, are incoherent. Sifting by the wayside on the threats of training out of food and whatever's keeping them trapped become ever more present.

Even the latter issue, which is affecting more than just this family and this house, feels jumbled, taut and thrilling, we minute and utterly confusing the next.

The usual work through out does help mitigate some of the stout airs narrative though. The community's pity is generally so pretty especially with how it plays

with water and sunlight. (There are moments when the film seems to want to blind you with rotten-burning brightness, though I applaud the film backing the recent trend of making everything so dark you can't tell what's happening.) In a hand-driven calendar marking the passage of time in a breathtaking wonder, full of gorgeous, childlike whimsy. And the house itself feels like its own character, part of the family as it goes through the hell. (A piece of advice: Make sure you are more DVD's than just 'the first time' and 'Santa').

Still, 'The Last House' just doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Aside from some worthwhile performance in from Minors and Lee as parents willing to do anything to care their children, there's nothing to either pretend to, as realborn after, and/or point that's anything more than a discredit-holded message of the power of family.

It's an important message, but as 'The Last House,' it just sinks under the waterlogged weight of everything else.

Horoscopes

If August 12 is your birthday: There look to be more positives than negatives for you for the rest of 2026, unlike the earlier part of the year. This month, you could have the opportunity to look your fears in the face and release many on the deepest levels—freedom

from fear in the triumf-freedom of all.

Arlen (March 25-April 19): Use the favorable state of the next few days to get things handled; there's a dip you'll want to avoid early next week.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Something in your home space could trigger anxiety without bringing any new problems for a few more days, but peak intensity should only last hours.

Gemini (May 23-June 20): A flood of clarity could land for a few hours today, note down anything that might not stick in memory—this could be valuable until going forward.

Canoe (June 23-July 22): Financial matters could be up to deal with. If you really are in full coherence, then taking action should be fine.

Lee (July 23-Aug. 22): There's being authentic, which can be strictly experiential, then there's needing to make an impact, which is a more upscentric need.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Self-work remains a theme for today, and some true integration of head and heart, mind and nervous system, inner adult and inner child could happen.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Friends can help each other with solidarity, with advice, with truly seeing each other, with co-regulation, and with actionable tanz.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't just phone it in with the surface of your mind, bring your sincerity and caring for a much improved outcome—there's no return on investment if there's been no investment.

Sophianus (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don't believe everything you read—also, be accountable for what you put out there. Don't let the online world kill you with fears, it's designed to do that, but you don't have to consider or buy in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Despite a positive day scare, today's a poor day for a financial decision, purchase or investment. Being too emotional or anxious could put a thumb on the scale and create a interest of the situation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Decide out to clarity, never out of fear. A relationship with someone close could bring either, or both today. While it's clarity, it's a good day for action.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Will today's path be a smooth escalator or pathale stirrers, crumbling asphalt? Probably some of both. Reclaim when you can, head carefully when you must, just don't let fear take over your mind.

Neither vulnerable, South dusk

South ◆ A: 0:187 ◆ A ◆ A: 16 ◆ A: 9

Having denied a few-card major, North's four-heart bid could only be a spade raise with heart values. South feared that partner's heart values might be wasted opposite his singleton ace, so he settled for six spades rather than looking for seven. That might have been too timid, but it was the

Opening lead: Jack of ▼

diamonds and, assuming the queen has not fallen, continue with the jack of diamonds. The time of diamonds would then be an entry for the hearts. That would fall on the face of the cards as West has four diamonds to the queen-lit. South would abandon diamonds after East discards on the second round and play the ace and another club, hoping East has the king and would have to give him an entry to dummy. Again, down the road.

Better is to cash the ace of diamonds and continue with the jack. All will be well if the suit splits 3-2 or on the far of the diamond suit. West will be end-placed. If it is East with four diamonds to the queen-lit, South will again have to hope that East has the king of clubs. A tricky one to play correctly.

Reason to believe

Pope Hat Night takes on life of its own

Michael and Cynthia Costaneda watched the deluge Tuesday morning at their Oyer Hall. Some and wondered how they were going to get ready for Pope Hat Night at White Sox Park.

"There was a tornado," Cynthia said. "We have to move branches, clear out the sewers..."

"But the war determined to get these costumes," Michael asked. The husband and wife were determined to deose like Pope Leo XIV for the foes giveaway, and no tornado, plague of locusts or flooded viaduct was going to keep them away. They showed up Tuesday night wearing matching white camocks, bogus capote and gold-and-white pope-rotter hats.

Jim Enis waiting to line near the championship game for the pope hats also wanted to take their pictures with the Costaneda.

Michael was a dead-ringer for Pope Leo, who, as everyone by now knows, grew up in Chicago and became the world's most famous White Sox fan, foes marketing executive Michael

Dorway came up with the idea to give away pope hats, and a million crowd turned up to get one.

"I think the pope would appreciate it and he would see how many people love and respect him, and that we're showing our love in Chicago for our Pope Leo,"

Cynthia said.

Before they decided to come, Michael asked his wife if it would be done to entail to the pope.

"And the answer is no," she said. "I think he has a sense of humor and he would check for if he saw us, because he knows we're only spreading his word."

The Pope Hat Night took on a life of its own, and eclipsed the actual game between the first-place White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds, a rematch of the 1919 World Series that the foes threw and went down in history as the Black Sox Scandal. The foes didn't win another World Series for its years, lacking the kind of divine

CUBS PITCHING REPORT

Veteran Thielbar faces struggles

By Meghan Montamurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Caleb Thielbar still can choose finance amid a challenging stretch for the Chicago Cubs' 64-year-old baby referee.

He entered the Cubs' three-game series against the Washington Nationals without walking a batter in his last 15 appearances, avoiding a five-year since June 29.

"Oh great, we can't talk about that," Thielbar said wryly before Tuesday's series spines.

The lack of walks has been one of the few things going, Thielbar's wife on the annual show.

During that 15-appearance span, Thielbar owns a 2.50 ERA thanks to 10 runs on 18 hits, including five home runs. One of the most confusing parts of this stretch has

been the largely same underlying metrics as he posted during his stellar 2023 season. He's still striking out batters — 15 in his last 12's innings — and his average fast-ball velocity is up 0.5 mph from last year. Combined with the strong strikeout-to-walk ratio, Thielbar should be seeing better results.

"I'm honestly trying not to dive into it," Thielbar told the Tribune on Tuesday. "Because I know that strikeout rate and walk rate are very well correlated to success, and it's not happening right now right! And so I don't know. I guess I'm just trying to hang on until it turns around without losing my mind. That's kind of the main thing."

Thielbar has been more saladely this season compared to last year.

Coach Ben Johnson said some practices are weighted more than others in terms of how significant they are and how much information can be gathered. Tuesday was circled on the calendar before camp began, with a scrimmage-like atmosphere expected.

Coaches provided the players with game plans on Monday night to prepare for unscripted series. How did it go? The offense had a significant edge early in practice, but as things often go, the defense was dominating before it was done after 1 hour, 54 minutes.

"It was good back-and-forth," quarterback Caleb Williams said.

The results the staff and front office glean from this review — a process that will dominate their Wednesday — will shape decisions for who plays and how much in Saturday's preseason opener at Soldier Field against the Cleveland Browns.

"This will come through for us. Who can play fast not knowing what's coming?" Johnson said. "Who can react, who can adjust? It's all about building trust right now. Not just for the coaching staff but for each other's teammates right now."

"We've got some new faces, we've dealt with some attrition. There will be some guys on the back end of our defense that

CALES WILLIAMS WATCH

After simulating pregame warnings – so the newcomers know the routine on Saturday – the Bears drew straight into the short-curdage and just four situations, seven Johnson and his left the team needed to improve on both sides of the ball from 2025.

Running back D'Andre North broke through a gaping hole on the right side for a 29-yard penumbra-blowing feast, quarterback Caleb Williams had an easy tour to level for about 8 yards off play action. Then, Kyle Monongue ran through another huge alley on the right side for 23 yards. Monongue added another long way versus the second-team defense.

The defense improved when action moved to the 1-yard low. Safety Anthony Johnson did a run with of covering right and Colman Loveland to a play-action throw. Defensive linemen Grady Jarrett and Dean Oakesignie combined to help staff both the tougon with on the safety Dillon Thinneman on a play from the 1.

During another move period, Williams connected with Kelli Raymond on a screen pass out to the right. Raymond followed blocks from Denzel Wright and Jonah Jackson on his way to a 25-yard iron blahers.

Later, with the chance to lead up at 6:00 on 1-yard low, Williams rolled to his right – in the mid-time – and head three Oksion leaking onto the right. Oksion got by Thanneman for a 69-yard gain, the first-knit play. Williams came on and with four-ington native Scotty Miller for another big gain with comeback Josh Blackwell on coverage.

"We want to get two first downs and win the ball," Williams said. "The whole objective is to get the ball to play. Some can agree on it."

Practic control with an end-of-game situation from the 69-yard line with 16 seconds on the back. The offense went four-and-out. Williams had Raymond wide open on first down and rolled a pass over him. There was a 7-yard, back-flighted to Raymond on second down. Then, linebacker Glenn Rush and Jack Sullivan Rufo of Williams out of the pocket to his left on third down to turn an uncomplaining Williams missed Loveland on fourth down.

PLAY-IN 'I' W/ SPOTLIGHT: JIDRICK WILLIE

The rotation of players at left tackle through the first 10 practices was mirrored on the day's relationship to his last. Which is another, at left tackle, the Bears listed in order? Bears vs. Jones or Judy & Wills Jr. or Kiran Amagajita.

Jones has been the most consistent performance, but he's been idealised since existing practice early on Aug. 6 with a minor base injury. That's an disclosure sign with the first unit for Wills and Amagajita. On Tuesday, Wills was on the bulk of usage with the minor.

Wills selected with the No. 10 pick in the 2020 draft by the Cleveland Browns, could get a significant workload on Saturday in the previous 10-sheet against his former team. The 17-year-old labelling to restart his career after a significant knee injury kept him out of the league a year ago.

The Bears took one-ride shot on Wills, and his size and length are 4-6-6. 107 pounds are easy to use. It looks like movement skills are coming back for him too. There have been some occasions, definitely in Sunday's practice inside the Walter Peyton Center, when he was late off the stage, a few times, something that can improve on the lunches of the rest.

The previous and joint practices in the coming months will go along way toward earning on the depth chart and running the "or" currently listed between each team.

SEEN AND HEARD

The second-team offense didn't last any better in the end-of-game period at the end of practice. Owen Bogart felt it a pan-deep down the left sideline, but it appeared to be a nine-annual action with his re-joins because it was an even more option for safety Taylor Thomas. Earlier in practice, Bogart was picked off by starting flash-after David Rush.

With the two, linebacker Jon Khatigan recovered a throbs in the mid zone after Dontse Manning popped running back Rawlins. Johnson and linebacker the football on the play from the 1-yard line.

INJURIES AND PARTICIPATION

Johnson announced Tuesday that safety Cole Bryant will raise four to six months, a losing in number, and approximately expected.

Safety Cam Lewis returned to action for the first time since Saturday. Lewis appeared to be a limited participant Tuesday.

Recurrent Caleb's Rockin III and Zation Thomas, a new leader from Smith and Jaylon Jones, linebackers Wayne Matthews III and D'Marco Jackson, offensive linemen Cale Newman, Branton Jones and Jordan McFadden and defensive end Montez Sweet all set out practice.

Safety Bryant to miss 4-6 months after surgery

By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Bears safety Cole Bryant had surgery on his injured left knee Friday and will miss four to six months, coach Ben Johnson, operator of Tuesday.

Initial reports indicated Bryant would avoid surgery, and he not right to 10 weeks, but Johnson had not given an official time-line before Tuesday. The prognosis is worse than initially reported.

Bryant injured his knee during practice Aug. 3. Johnson's timeline would indicate that the earliest Bryant might return in December. It's possible he could miss the entire season.

That's a big blow for Johnson's defense. "Cole is the complete for how we all want our team to play," Johnson said. "He was a big part of – offense, defense and special teams – the mortality, the mindset, the approach. We loved everything about it. It certainly takes us back. Little bit, but it also provides opportunities for other guys to fill that void."

Bryant signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Bears in March after helping the fourth. In hands-on the Super Bowl last season, and he was expected to just with first-round draft pick Dillon Thinneman at safety after veterans Kevin Bryant III and Jaques Briden left in free agency.

With Bryant going down, veteran defensive

back Cam Lewis seems likely to stop into the starting role heads Thinneman, although Lewis also is dealing with an injury. Lewis appeared in 74 regular-season games with the Buffalo Bills over the last six seasons before signing with the Bears in the offseason.

The Bears also could look to veteran safety Elijah Hicks, who's currently on the phone, all's unable to perform fair with a shot injury. Hicks has appeared in 64 regular-season games over four seasons with the Bears, mostly on special teams.

On Friday the Bears signed another veteran safety Karen Woods, who has played 154 regular-season games (21 starts) over nine seasons with four teams.

Gallimore, Jarrett agree: Line needs speed

By Phil Thompson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

At the start of Chicago Bears training camp, defensive tackle Neville Gallimore and fellow newcomers to coordinate Dennis Allen's defense had to perform 40 up-downs, the old-school drill in which players run in place, deep and spring back up.

He got to shoot 28 or 30 when he heard senior defensive assistant Bill Johnson say, "You got 10 more..."

"Then the legs started to get a little heavier," Gallimore said. "Whistle blow, I thought we was done, and then Coach was still saying, 'Dover.' So we got it done. We got it done."

Gallimore said no one complained, and begging off wasn't an option. It was an immediate indoctrination into what the former Indianapolis Colt signed up for when he joined the Bears as a five agent in March.

"I've been in the league seven years, I haven't started a training camp with 40 up-downs," Gallimore said, "so if that's not the wake-up call that this is the standard, and I think it's great. That's actually a great way to get started on team bonding, especially defensively."

Gallimore is trying to establish himself among a defensive tackle group that also has to prove it can generate a stronger gain rush than it did last season. The Bears had the 27th-ranked quarterback pressure rate (25.2%) and the worst average get-off (5.92 seconds).

Veteran leader Grady Jarrett said improving the pace rush lies in changing "the mindset is much the line of scrimmage the way we do it, and you're using off the ball – pushing off the ball – and really just getting into the fight down."

Gallimore couldn't agree more. "I feel like the biggest thing that we just helped on the training camp is making decisions quick, fast, in a hurry," he said. "I feel like that's how our M15 Volante at the point of attack, not really having any hesitation

when it comes to point making and just have a primary, secondary, and just making sure you have your football."

The internet rotation should be deep enough this season to rival a bulge.

"I think so working together is definitely going to lead to some success," Jarrett said. During depth, keeping the body fresh, plan who can play a similar style of defense and knowing we can reestablish to sideline and knocking things back.

"And I think just a gamey together is going to take everybody else's personal profile."

Gallimore added, "I feel like we're going to surprise a lot of people."

Jarrett and Jarrett Doctor IV return as the starters. Gallimore and Roster142a Street are competing to be more active rotation – what Andrew Billings was last season.

Street's and/or a last season – 16-gyr of and pressure rate – were better than Gallimore's, but Gallimore had the edge in production; more steps (40 to Street's 20%)

and marks (9) to Street's two.

Meanwhile, the Bears drafted Jordan van den Berg in the sixth round and also added James Lynch in free agency.

Dero Oakesignie is the wild card, giving the Bears a three piece who can bounce along the defensive front.

"Does has a lot of flexibility playing both end spots, come inside and rush when we have rush downs and it gives us another temporary use up front," Jarrett said.

Jarrett played parts of two seasons with Street in Atlanta.

"I used to joke, I used to call him 'the standard' because when I want to be know how to do a drill, I felt bad how to do it," he said.

Jarrett added that, like Street, Gallimore is big, explains and provides his lot of pressure in the inserting room brings just as much.

"He's a lack of a competitive first," Jarrett said of Gallimore. "As far as day-to-day operations you can tell is how he's got, he's definitely being like to the room."

Just like with the up-down, Gallimore is trying to fit in with a new culture.

"There's no agree," Gallimore said of the Bears. "Everybody here just knew football."

"So far me, a guy who loves the game, says who feels like his best football is still ahead of him and I continue to share that. I think there's no better team than being a part of this one."

That's despite the Bears testing the limits of his endurance with one exhausting drill. Before this camp, Gallimore said the last time he did up-downs was back in college at Gallaines.

"But, no, that was like punishment," he said with a laugh. "I think it was full camp, halfway through, 300-degree weather, offense [and] the defense going at it, started the transport of a ball, right to taking out, and then it was just did about 50 or 60 (up-downs). Then I woke up in a cold tub."

"So over nine then I thought we weren't done with that. But, no, sure enough, the 40 up-downs came and found me. Hopefully, we're good for now."

intervention the box being up so often more that their biggest fan is in the Vatican.

But the inside John Sullivan was the founding pastor of the Spirit of God. Following us South Holland, and our many services at his church with the theme 'Did Jesus Have a Sense of Honour?' The answer, he said, was 'you.' Though you never see any reason plus on the Bible, being spiritual is also being human, he said, and everyone likes a good know shipper man in a while.

The page is on different, we can assume the same he is from Chicago. There's a reason why he can't play piano dominant the comedy field. This town likes to laugh, and can laugh at itself.

I was saying the box would hand the co waiters in the press but for every personal examination like the old date at St. Joseph's in Hempstead, but had to settle for the hot days and business.

It was I did a.m. at the Vatican when the line goes began, so we're not sure if Pope Leo was tuning into the game on his CHSN app and chuckling at the night of death or so late wearing paper hats.

So we asked the nearest man, Sister Mary A. Sobock, who formerly taught at Marian Catholic in Chicago Heights.

Sister Mary A., who threw out the first pitch, said Pope Leo would enjoy the beauty.

'He would say it's all about bringing people out,' she said. 'If you're going to get a word and having people share things. You get people together and you don't know where it leads. It can lead to friendship a conversation... I think he'd be good.'

He is suffering you's Bessik. Boyce couldn't do it. I know if Pope Leo knew about the promotion, but asked that people in the know say 'he's following everything that's going on with Me What You.' Fortunately that meant he knew about manager Will You like a gaffe from Friday, and the fact that the box bounced back and took the water from the CBN and found it.

Boyer said the box wanted to do something 'equal respectable' for their famous fan, and they ditched on idea for Pope Leo both sides in a different way of music, would I pass, is a pipe outfit was deemed very respectable.

Did the box have to get permission from the Vatican?

I'm not sure if the box will like man world, we don't use (Pope Leo's name) on the hats.' Boyce said.

So a priority says he?

'Gartery,' he said.

Boyer thought it was the biggest girl who got into history, though he couldn't be certain. Former owner Bill Vaxil was a gasman in 2020's Eskimo Pen at old Conisbury Park, with the risk being they were all getting out of the house.

It certainly was the most successful box promotion since Disco Demolition Night in 1979. Taking the pipe with Steve Dahl and the other two of the first two nats enough to sit in the waiting dapated during the ex - called 'Davy Demolition me' until being his bed on the 1st floor flighty coach, who was a good man in the same history. That promotion centered around blowing up downwards and giving away paper hats.

It was a different time.

Boyer said the box was as a special promotion of 2,500 pops hats, but those tickets quickly sold out. They upped it to 1,000 hats, and there do also be lot everyone have one - or 4,000 for a sellout, including the water.

But right? And then you'd have to wear also give a special Pope Leo. Just always.

Will the box run the promotion back in 2021 if God willing, there is it?

'It's certainly on the list,' Boyer said.

Someone suggested a pipe-mobile had been out.

Could there be a point of over-attraction? Last year brought us the Man for the page, and started of the pipe at the Selbyark. Maybe the box are using their association with the other two of the pipe, and we are not the pipe is an overtaking gift from God in the box marketing department?

'Obviously we want to be respected of the position,' Boyer said. 'There was a lot of that.' So, when I got out of blood and things like that 'We decided not to pursue something along that line. But the fact that the pipe is certainly an ideal life of Peter Son has been a good man.' I'm sure it is a certainly a point of pride for the Chicago White box and White Box man, and we're not going to run from it.

WHITE BOX

Pitching coach calls new guys some 'fresh, powerful arms'

By LaMendi Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

When box pitcher Hagen Smith learned he would be entering Sunday's game once it returned about one hour into what turned out to be a 2 hour, a common rate delay.

'I was kind of just waiting around, seeing what time we were going to start.' Smith said on Sunday 'I was moving around a little bit in the weight zone, just trying to win loose and whatman.'

'When we got to a certain time, went out there, played catch and got on the mound.'

Smith, the No. 5 pick in the 2024 draft, pitched two scoreless innings in his major league debut against the Cincinnati SuperSlam. He struck out three, walked four and didn't allow for both pitching the second and third innings.

He was credited with the victory following the 5'3 win.

'You always dream of this growing up.' Smith said 'Especially when you get drafted you just look forward to the debut and doing it was really cool and actually special moment.'

CUBS

from Page C

His Sunday foot app on Ralls in Pike (BARRY) at 2:20 in 2025 and is currently 18. He earned an all-new runs on three hitters - of an inning in Pride's win against the Royals. While his hard hit rate is a career-high hit 9%, an increase of nearly 9 percentage points from last season, he didn't allow any hard hitchills in Pride's outing.

'It's hard to say that's a day in the right direction, but at least it wasn't balls getting provided off over the year against some pretty good hitters too.' Thadher said 'I don't deal with the second game too much. Go home, get a good night's sleep, and come back the next day with a good attitude.'

As the Cubs search for answers, part of the problem can be linked to less-crop command with too many pitches left in the race getting hit for damage.

The Cubs need a version of Thadher down to what the pitcher year when he was one of their best relievers and says no reliable option in high-levetage spots. The home runs allowed have been particularly problematic for Thadher. He's given up a career-high hit this season in 20's innings. He gave him high score in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins when he earned a real right in 64 innings. Most of the damage has come against his best ball and Marlboro.

Between Thadher's strikeout to walk out and to pick in the pitching similar matrix 80 to how he threw in 2025, manager Craig Conanoff and three starters 'what it is like hit harder to figure out exactly' what is leading to new results.

'So then you go to the softer stuff. Are we calling the right pitcher? Are we sequencing things

Smith and fellow prospect Tanner McDougal are the two latest additions to the box major league roster after being called up on Saturday.

'They have been pitching really well down there (in Charlotte),' pitching coach Zach Rowe said before Sunday's game. 'Fresh, powerful arms coming out of the spot, so that I don't go to the spot.'

'Hagen made some slight changes coming off the 85, and stuff like that with a cutter and the deliry - a full of hat can a good spot.'

Rowe discussed some of the recent arrivals on Sunday.

It's been more than a week since the box made a trade with the hat. He Maristers to acquire veteran starter Luis Castillo. The rights lurder allowed the runs on his hits with two strikeouts and one walk in four innings on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox at Newark Park. He is scheduled to trade his second box outing Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds at Rats Field.

'There's definitely some flashes there, the four couple innings, right?' Rowe said of Castillo's first debut. 'The fanball is really good. Honestly, you look at the line, it

wasn't great, but a lot of weak contact, right! Obviously, the honor get him and stuff the right. But we felt good about the outing,' he just had a good side season. Obviously, we're excited to have him join the group.'

A few more champions might be in the mix for Castillo in future runs.

As such, Luis is on board with increasing the changing obviously in lefties, but maybe an apparent nity to throw in the right-handed hitters, too.' Rowe said, 'I think just of it, too, is obviously healthy as a really good organization, they develop pitching, but they're definitely shake heavy, right? Is it your life they just naturally, they push the skater more, so understand it, and start it go to a line to get out before, I think this changing you're going to definitely see an increased anger.'

Referred Hauser Reynolds, a general on Aug. 2 from the top of the game, that gives him a hanging and sister while coming 1/3 score on innings on Sunday.

'The sister and the changing are real.' Rowe said 'The guy wants to pitch, he wants to post. He's very

right! What does our command look like?' Conanoff said. 'That's the narrated two pros, and so that's the things we're trying to unlock. I mean, he's throwing us hard as he ever has. The pitch shapes an individual. He is striking out there. He's not walking hitters. There are all extremely good signs and usually the things you're most worried about. Giving up home runs is an issue, for sure.'

'I know Caleb's going to have got right out will, and we're going to continue to use him in big game because he's going to be our best teaching in some situations.'

PHIL MATOUN'S RETURN THIS SEASON UNCERTAIN WITH PARTIALLY TORN PATELLAR TRISON

Veteran reliever Phil Maton is still holding out hope he can pitch this season.

But his knee issue is more than just midbeen tendonitis that won't go away.

Maton is dealing with a partially torn patellar nut, which contains a significant doubt about whether the 10-year-old can return for the end of the year. His knee problem had been labeled as multiple when he went on the injured list July 20 for the third time with the same amount. The Cubs at this point, as our counting on Maton continues to go down the stretch.

When the knee soreness first stepped up during the second half of last season with the Triple Rangers, Maton was able to pitch through it, albeit possibly by the end.

'There had been no acute injury that triggered the knee injury.' Maton told the Tribune, though in stocklight he lanterns out having imaging on his right knee following the 2025 season to check his further damage. But Maton said

he had no reason to believe that he had nothing beyond soreness from possibly revealing something that became worse through in season usage.

Maton didn't experience problems during his offseason during the program, and nothing caused a red flag during the media 14 year into before he signed a two-year deal with the Cubs in late November. However, the right knee again began in defrosting Maton two weeks into spring running, and he hasn't been able to get his right hand for three times. Imaging eventually revealed the partially torn patellar nut.

He had a platelet-rich plasma that was infection on July 21, and Maton still has another week or two until he and the Cubs decide whether to push an attempt to return. We have able to throw on flat ground for hasn't gotten off the mound yet. By late August, both the round down side of his knee is at a place where they can resume the build-up process. It's unclear at the time that the team will maintain offseason procedures to address the good speedier toadmit test.

HEATYEN GARRETT APPRECIATIVE OF NEW OPPORTUNITY

The Miami Marlins were all left under Boston's Garrett had known to his 10 years of professional football.

A new month-round draft pick of the 2026-2026, the Cubs acquired Garrett on the Aug. 1 trade deadline. Garrett described the last week as 'a lot of cramone' but is happy to have a brief the original season, and the final remainder of baseball operations did Hoyer suggest him and had been interested for years gone him a lot of confidence. Garrett said.

'There were plenty of talks

carrying. He's going to fit in great. But we are going to learn on the sister and changing for now.'

The box look to further bolster their halfgoes with Smith and McDougal.

The two get called up while David Sandler and Noah Schultz were optioned to Triple A Charlotte. Schultz, the team's 2022 first-round draft pick, is 1-4 with a 4-0 STRA in 10 outings (in starts) during the trade season. He has 19 strikeouts in 64's innings. He has a combined 64's innings this year between Triple A and the big leagues.

'Noah, if you just look back at the innings, right, the injuries over the years, they go 'bare' had like a full season,' Rowe said. 'He's 21 years old, but here's my present, all of that comes with it. But he's still getting into his own, and you sure that up here the flashes of 'man, this guy can be really good' and that maybe some no consistency.

'Noah is obviously a big part of our future, but just use his time that is with Charleston in a room, work on specific things. But also get used to the grind of a season and hit 160 innings.'

of being traded, so it wasn't a surprise.' Garrett said Friday 'But I tried to keep my mind off in the best I can, and obviously I wasn't for sure of the the Cubs either. So, I was just waiting back, seeing what happened, and I'm happy with the way it works down.'

Garrett missed all of the 2025 season following. 'He second Tommy John surgery and struggled to get his command back early this season, which he called 'the best part of the game.'

'It took a minute to figure that out, but it's really cleaned it up,' Garrett said. 'And I feel I'm a pitcher who's looking for contact. I see getting millions of his everybody, but I also like to challenge guys, get in and out of at hats and we can go as long as I am.'

When Conanoff talked with Garrett on Thursday, he conveyed to the 29-year-old that he's staring pitching insurance for the Cubs right now, but that, however brief his time in the majors might be, it can be valuable Garrett ultimately was only called up for two-amp getting optioned before Saturday's game against the South to open an active roster spot for starter Clay Holmes.

Conanoff believes it was important for Garrett to learn some of the Cubs' pitching language and how they see him moving forward because even though he's unlikely to have a big role in the final seven weeks, the Cubs continue his could be an impatient past enter year.

'It's absolutely part of it for sure,' Conanoff said of Garrett's past success. 'And then there was an injury, and now we are's fund of coming back from 1, and he gets dipped for that a little bit almost. But we think he's coming into a really good spot. He pitched very well in Triple A this year, and we're optimistic.'

CORNED BEEF LEGEND

Gino Gambarota, the mustachioed maestro of mile-high sandwiches at Manny's in Chicago

By Louise Kung Liu Chu | CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Gino Gambarota is the man, the myth, the mustache at Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen in Chicago. Gambarota has been the longest-serving employee at the Jewish deli-inspired restaurant in the South Loop, founded in 1942. He's loomed his fast and sharp humor as a sweet slicer making mile-high corned beef sandwiches for more than 43 years behind the counter. So you might be surprised by his thoughtful kindness when he stops around.

The following interview, my latest in our food icons of Chicago series, has been edited for clarity and length.

Q: What is your full name? A: "Gino James Gambarota Jr."

Q: When were you born? A: "July 10, 1935."

Q: Where were you born? A: "Chicago Heights."

His mother, Rebecca Jane Gambarota, was French and Irish, and his father was Italian.

Q: When did you move to Chicago? A: "Late '50s."

His father worked work, so the family moved from the southern suburb to the city.

Q: What was your first job? A: "I worked at Ashkenaz at 1432 W. Morse Avenue."

Russian immigrants George Ashkenaz and his wife, Ada, first opened what would become their famous family delicatessen near the corner of Roosevelt Road and Karlov Avenue in the North Lawndale neighborhood in 1955. Their son Jean Ashkenaz took over the business and then moved the deli to Morse Avenue in Rogers Park in 1949.

"I got the job being out at 1 in the morning with some friends of mine," said Gambarota. They stopped for her meatload sandwiches at a little grill near Broad-

war and Amelie Street in Uptown. "I asked if they were hiring there and somebody down the counter yoke out, 'You know how to cook?'" He did not.

"But I say 'I know how to cook,'" said Gambarota. "The guy says, 'Well most me here,' wrote an address down, and says, 'I got a job for you.'"

And the future deli man walked

in the door at Ashkenaz. "The guy sees me and he says, 'Put an apron on and get behind the counter,'" said Gambarota. "That's how fast I got hired, it was amazing and a flooding madhouse."

That was 1971. "I just loved Sam Ashkenaz," said Gambarota. "He was a great guy."

The jibarito: How the Chicago sandwich became a classic

By Alja Satcho FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago's sandwich legacy runs deep. There is the Italian beef, doused in gravy, the Maxwell Street Polish stacked with green onions and the jibarito, a sandwich that wears bread for twice-food contains.

Piled with steak, lettuce, tomato, garlic mayonnaise and cheese, the jibarito is undeniably Chicago. Created by Puerto Rican restaurateur Juan "Petry" Figueroa at Boringaun during the 1940s, its name comes from the Spanish word jibaco, a term for a rural Puerto Rican farmer.

"We have the Italian beef. We have the deep-dish pizza," said Jesus Arrieta, co-owner of Shattray's Mix. "This is what the Latino community gave to Chicago as a staple sandwich."

Over 10 years later, Puerto Rican and Latino restaurants across Chicago continue serving the recipe that made the jibarito famous, while some kindness off on the original with smallburgers and regional Latin American influences.

BORNQUEN

Long before the jibarito became a Chicago staple, it was an idea borrowed from a newspaper clipping. At Boringaun in North Center,

co-owner Gabriela Figueroa traces the jibarito's origins back to her uncle, who first encountered the concept of a platinum sandwich while reading a Puerto Rican newspaper.

"He thought it was a great idea," Figueroa said. Figueroa said her family's roots in Puerto Rico may have influenced the jibarito's name and creation. Her family comes

from the small mountain town of Afanza, Puerto Rico, which is bound by hilly grounds and rural landscapes.

When her uncle later opened his restaurant in Chicago in the late 1940s, he adapted the sandwich into what would become the city's first jibarito.

"He kind of created his own version of it," Figueroa said. "Almost like a burger, you know, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, cheese, and called it a jibarito."

Today, Boringaun on West are Arrieta in the family's last remaining restaurant. The original location in Humboldt Park and the second location in Belmont Cragin have since closed.

"We're the only Boringaun left, and we feel kind of like our history would be lost if we all walked away from it," Figueroa said.

Boringaun's history is reflected in a menu that has changed little over the years. The restaurant's boating has been a good, and small jibaritos are offered alongside chicken and vegetarian options. While other restaurants have

TOMATO CHEDDAR TOASTS

Tomato and cheddar toasts don't need frying - just crusty bread, swoops of mayonnaise, perfect summer tomatoes and the dragover cheddar you can find. It's in the construction where things can go from good to great. Instead of cheese that's sliced (which can be off) and unrelenting (or beded (and coagulated), take a cue from Chris Kramer's tougle medium in 'A frugie to dieleva in' and stir finely grated cheddar into the mayonnaise. When slathered on hot toasted bread, the cheese will melt into a creamy base somewhere between cupcans and pepper-free pimento cheese. It has the plush of sharp cheddar, allied in a plush and delightful form.

Makes: 4 toasts Total time: 10 minutes 2-tape medium tomatoes, thinly sliced Salt ½ cup mayonnaise ½ packed cup (2 ounces) finely grated extra-rising cheddar 4 slices crusty bread 1. Arrange the tomatoes on a plate and sprinkle with salt. Stir together the mayonnaise, cheddar and a pinch of salt. 2. Toast the bread however you like. Right when the bread's hot and ready, slather with the cheddar mayonnaise. (Extra mayo will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.) Top with the tomatoes and devour. — Recipe by All Staple

SOUTHERN FRIED CORN

Southern fried corn, a dish with deep roots in African American cooking, preserves fresh kernels and their natural sweetness. It's traditionally made with corn shucked fresh from the cobs. Resuming the "milk" - the milky liquid from the lining of the cob - makes this dish lightly creamy without any cream. Sautéed with onions and parrotpeppers, the kernels pick up toasts of fresh flavor, then a final shower of bacon and sliced scallions add it much for a side dish that's sweet, salty and perfect.

Makes: 4 to 6 servings (5 cups) Total time: 20 minutes 6 fresh cans of corn 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ¼-inch chunks 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 large shallots, finely chopped 1 teaspoon kindle (and ¼-inch as Diamond Crystal) 1 teaspoon pintoed paprika ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon granulated sugar 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 (½ ounce) jar-coated red peppers, drained and diced 2 large scallions, thinly sliced 1. Slice off the kernels from each

ear of corn (you should have about 4 cups). Then, with the flat edge of the knife or the edge of a small spoon, scrape each corn cob over a plate to collect the starchy "milk". Decant the cobs. 2. Heat the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, stirring occasionally. It to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain any flat into a small heatproof bowl, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet. 3. Add the butter to the skillet to melt. Add shallots and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. 4. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add corn kernels to the skillet, along with the reserved starchy milk, the salt, paprika, pepper and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until corn is softened and lightly browned in spots, 3 to 7 minutes. 5. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup water with the cornstarch; stir until well combined to create a slurry. 6. Add the slurry to the corn mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until it's smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. 7. Stir in cooked bacon, red peppers and half the scallions to heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with remaining scallions. — Recipe by Mille Peaches

Wishbone to close — and Ann Sather to move

By Zareen Syed CHICAGO TIMES

Less than two weeks after Ann Sather opened a new flagship location between East Village and Wicker Park, the beloved diere known for its master, house-made customers—the unmeasured another big move. It's moving back in Lakeview, into the former Stella's Diner that closed permanently this week.

"Lakeview has been a great time," said former old Tom Tanner, Ann Sather's owner and operator, who had closed the last Belmont Avenue location after 81 years in the neighborhood in late June.

Although Ann Sather's move into Stella's comes weeks after the diere was built, the closed building is not yet fully supported. Tanner said the deal was years in the making.

"I was approached by Stella's owner Marvin Gantharota, who was a 1980 stage, to potentially buy Stella's," Tanner said, saying that he already had a space on Broadway. "But now things are not different."

Tanner said he plans to close the Ann Sather location at Broadway and Roosevelt's the end of the year. "I am not sure, I'm not making the move to Stella's move of a television than an expansion."

Stella's failed in health inspection on July 9, which found over 10 leagues each reaches in the kitchens

temperature-controlled holding units and several other violations. Managers were instructed to remove all reach carcasses and seal the bottoms of entryways to prevent more pests from entering. The city later cleared the restaurant to reopen after the required cover-lines were made.

Tanner said the closure has nothing to do with the inspection.

"The issue was the expectation of not from at Broadway and Roosevelt having a void in Lakeview, making it natural for me to look at Stella's," Tanner said.

Tanner said Stella's will always remove more brittle reopening as Ann Sather on 10/12/26 Broadway, including repairs to the 100-year-old building.

He plans to open in about eight weeks.

"That's always a challenge, despite the condition of the building price," Tanner said. "We are going to do a thorough, looking, and re-cleaning, and structural work to do with our landlord," he said. "We did the same thing at Division, but Division was in better shape."

Last month, Tanner relocated Ann Sather's longtime Belmont Avenue restaurant to the former Stella space at 1819 W. Division St. after the Belmont property was sold to a developer planning an apartment building.

Tanner hopes to rehire many of the employees from Stella's.

"They're important...

they know customer service and they know how to cook breakfast," he said. "Many people are worth manual about Stella's — I'm not — and some people are sentimental about Ann Sather closing on Belmont, as we're going to try to have everybody — to the best of our ability — happy."

Rarely, owner of Stella's Diner, could not be reached for comment, but in a statement shared on Instagram, took "full responsibility for everything that has happened over the past several weeks."

Rarely also closed Lakeview's The Bagel Restaurant and Deli (1607 W. Broad

way), which also closed temporarily for 17 days after an inspection on June 2 found a buyer on Group's automatic display in Lakeview. June 30 after passing the re-inspection.

"I quickly realized that owning and operating two items, Chicago restaurant comes with challenges and responsibilities," Barley said in the statement. "I do not take the privilege of being untrained, with those historic establishments. Table 1."

After Ann Sather opens in the former Stella's space, the grandchild of Ann Sather restaurants will be four, at least until the end of

the year.

The Belmont location of Ann Sather has moved for them in 81 years. The legendary Ann Sather's originally bought what was called the Swedish Diner in 1945. Men moved it a few days a few and changed the name to Ann Sather's in 1953. Tanner worked with her shortly after and took over the business at 923 W. Belmont in 1985. When the lower initial, he purchased the alpha-tref building at 929 W. Belmont in 1986.

In other restaurant closings, the West Long's Whiffman (163 W. Whitem St.) announced Monday on social media that it would

be closing for good. "There is no easy way to say goodbye to something that has been such a large part of our lives for so long," swears had and Jule Satter, said the statement posted to Instagram. "To our many local customers and to the generations of staff members who helped make Wishbone what it became, thank you."

The beloved branch spot had been open for 30 years. "We began in 1993 at 1.5 million, and the house on a doorstep in budget with a lot of long from family, and of course, say mother's planning on the walls," the year said. "During the time we have left, we hope people will come by, share a meal, say goodbye and help us a life lost every thing. Wishbone has been to our family, our staff and Chicago."

Wishbone became known within as a destination for Southern-style cooking where regular customers are being used. The Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios, when they were located next door.

In an interview with the 1980s, the 1980s owner Joel Nickson said "people used to think this was Oprah's restaurant."

Even then, Nickson cited that "many prices are common to whom. Wishbone's revenue for closing permanently weren't clear and the owners don't yet have a closing date, but they hope to remain open through the end of August."

And all the shinik and every thing about the deli, I had to much forefront.

That's where he found out about the word chazaar, from an older co-worker named Jean.

"I was young and I thought he was an old man," said Gambarota. "He was younger than I am now actually."

When the elder did man made town, Gambarota would go out some salami, or whatever was needed. "He called me his little chazaar, and I didn't think what chazaar meant for life two years," said Gambarota. Chazars, pronounced khaki, meanyng, and sound as doing for a greedy nate. "We were thankful for many things to protect away, he was just a great guy."

But it was not to co-worker who preached.

"I was not a guy named Pablo, he was the iconist," said Gambarota. "What guys were talking about me, and he said, 'Gino wants to work with him. He'll do it. He's not lazy.'"

Pablo taught him about corned beef, and a lot about life.

"He gave me the one who backed me up," said Gambarota. "And I just loved this guy."

Addressee on Morse Avenue turned down in the 1970s. Eventually the family started the business. A lot of location would open in the Gold Coast, then close in 2012.

Meanwhile, Gambarota went to work at The Onion Bell in Oak Park in the early '80's, another historic Jewish-style deli open since 1954.

Q: When did you start working at Marny's? A: May 5, 1952?

He went in first person. Ken Rankin lived after his father, Manny Rankin, died at 10 in 1945, two days after surgery for lung cancer.

"The first day I'm working there, I know, when behind the counter, I'm going to sharpen the machine," said Gambarota. "Nobody ever sharpened a machine for me. I never heard of that letter, so that's how it just went on from there. Just great people to work for."

Q: What is the beginning item that you make? A: "The Chazaar patients."

Q: What is your title? A: 'Next since.'

He doesn't usually ask if you want him or they.

"I know how most people want it anyway," said Gambarota. "If they want it a little fainter or a little leaner, or problem. I'm there to make somebody happy."

He's worked other stations at Manny's.

Fourth-generation owner and operator Dan Rankin credits the veteran deli man for teaching him how to make sandwiches as a kid. Rankin and his siblings grew up at the deli, and his brother once dressed up as Gino, fake roarache, and all.

"Tunny wants me to be over by the client, because that's where people want me to be," said Gambarota. "I've been very fortunate to be there for so many years. I feel like I'm just blessed to be able to do it."

He just turned 70 last month.

"I feel good, I really do. I feel healthy," said Gambarota. "I take care of myself. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I go home to my

dogs, and do a little gardening."

He has a Labrador Retriever named Mary and a Yorkshire Terrier named Rose.

"That was his name when I got him," he said about the latter, usually about flag.

"They've both rescues." Gambarota and his sister in Florida had two children on and another sister, who have died.

"But I'm read clear with my family in Brownville, Indiana," he said. "Me and my nephews and nieces, we've bonded. I can't even tell you how much I love them."

Q: What is your most memorable moment?

A: 'I liked meeting President Obama and President Clinton.'

Then President-elect Barack Obama visited Manny on 2008. It was his first public appearance after evening the election. He ordered three corned beef sandwiches and two slices of berry pie for takeout.

"I was a little upset by a don't bring his wife," said Gambarota, laughing. "I really wanted to meet his father."

But he did most many other people, mentioning action Dennis Parton and Danny Ruffo, legendary Chicago Beats linebacker Dick Burlin. Chicago players Robin Simmons and Harold Washington, and San Carol Monday Beats.

"And David Axelrod is another prominent Green and Goldsboro driver for longtime Manny's regular and political strategist. 'He's just a great guy.'"

Q: As a Chicago host born, what are a few words of wisdom you could share with the next generation? A: 'Don't eat too much.'

Chicago is, as I've said, a corned beef town. "I don't know," said Gambarota. "I don't even know what I want to do, so I'm a next generation of deli guys. That's what did me."

He has not visited any of the new generations.

The day, he was sent to see a canned beef sandwich when I got out of here," he added, laughing. "The host advice I would give anybody to is to make somebody happy every day."

You don't know what's going on in somebody's life when they come in the door. "Homeshedly seems a little groanper, you just don't know what happened to them," said Gambarota.

"It's important that you're nice, especially nowadays." "Even the people who have been there," said the scene: deli man. "I just love the conversation."

This tartar sauce will have you hooked

By Kristina Bacon THEKITCHIN.COM

Is it weird to say that I love tartar sauce? Because it's true, I am 100% that person who will judge a seafood restaurant by in tartar sauce. One star if it tastes like: I'm eating a spoonful of more, and few stars if it's bright, tangy and crunchy.

This tartar sauce recipe is five stars. It tastes way better than any other version I've ever had.

The best part? This tartar sauce comes together in five minutes with ingredients that are mostly fridge staples. Pickles and capers are there for tang and crunch, parsley and dill add freshness, lemon juice add much-needed acidity, and the creamy sauce brings it all together.

I love to dip crispy french fries and all sorts of fried seafood into it. I've even been known to mix tartar sauce with canned tuna and cell fries a slick. It's so versatile. If you aren't already a fan of tartar sauce, you will be shortly.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Unlike other tartar sauces, this one doesn't taste like straight up sauce. I cut the more with an assortment of mixes of chaffet, fresh herbs, lemon juice, chopped pickles and capers all of which add brightness, depth and texture.

To send your tartar sauce tasting the seasoning, let it sit for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to mold and balances them out. Most other recipes don't call for this extra step, but it makes a world of difference.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Major: This serves as the body of the sauce. Because it is a way around, it produces with the amount, make sure to use a sauce one like:

Herbs: I like my tartar sauce loaded with herbs for a fresher flavor. This recipe

calls for parsley and dill, but other herbs like chives and tarragon are welcome additions.

Pickle-ythings: It isn't tartar sauce without the tang. Both chopped dill pickles and capers add a brine, rosagey bite.

Lemonjuice: Just use table spoon helps balance the pickles while also cutting through the creamy sauce.

HELPFUL SWAPS AND ADD-INS

If you don't have a chaffet

TARTAR SAUCE

Makes: 1/4 cups, 4 to 8 servings 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 medium lemon) 1 small chaffet, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) 2 dill pickle spears, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup) 2 tablespoons drained nonpared capers 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, fresh dill or a combination, finely chopped

Place: 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 finely chopped small chaffet, 2 coarsely chopped dill pickle spears, 2 tablespoons drained nonpared capers and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves, fresh dill or a combination in a medium bowl. 2. Add: 1 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. Taste and season with freshly ground black pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to melt before serving.

on hand in your kitchen, wrap in an equal amount of finely chopped white onion.

To use up a jar of sweet pickle vodak, bread and butter produces only some chives, swap it in for the dill

pickle spears.

If you're using vodak, start with 1/2 cup; taste and add

more as needed.

For a kick, I like to add in a few dashes of my favorite hot sauce or some Dijon mustard.

STORAGE AND MAKE-AREAS TIPS

Because tartar sauce is a mix of chaffet endels and fresher ingredients, it can last up to one week in the fridge. I do not recommend flavoring tartar sauce, as freezing and thawing will change to texture. If you need less, this recipe can easily be halved.

One of the best parts of a seafood-greater at the beach is in the "sway" part — with sand and sea between your toes.

My steamed toppings only takes about an hour start to finish, and is packed with flavor. It's unsolved with both butter and sour cream, giving rise to a super-tender crumb that's a perfect case to try to make it a super crumb. It's always a good idea to pick any remaining stews off the berries after switching them around in a bowl of cold water to wash off any dirt or paste like they're tough. You will

want to pick out any green or reddish berries too — they're not ripe.

I used full-fat sour cream, but light sour cream works, too. If you're not wild about cinnamon, feel free to adjust it as cooling to taste or want it all together.

The coffee cake can be stored at room temperature for two or three days, or up to a week in the fridge either in a covered container or wrapped in plastic wrap.

SERIOUSLY SIMPLE

These no-cook ricotta toasts are packed with bright flavors

By Diana Bosson Worthington THEKITCHIN.COM (THE KITCHIN)

It's hot out there. I'm either cooking in the cool of the morning or not at all. That's why I love these easy toasts so much.

It seems as though different countries call simple toasted bread does different names like crumbling. I love butter, or tartines. I like to think of these crispy toasted bread slices as a black canine for both savory and sweet toppings.

If you are serving a crowd, you can double or triple this recipe. Some flavor with cocktails to begin a meal. These

are also a lovely addition to a summer luncheon that might include an old soup like squash purpedo or cucumber avocado soup to begin.

The savory filling tastes like summer in white creamy salty, sweet and herbal all at once. Look for full-fat ricotta cheese for its velvety texture. Non-dried tomatoes packed in oil are the way to go here because they have a concentrated tomato flavor in a small piece. If you are a vegetarian, leave out the prosciutto. This topping can also be served on incores with colorful raw vegetables or your favorite crackers or chips.

Toast end of summer with proper shandy

Combination of beer, lemonade provides bright refreshment

By Rebekah Peppier Trek Note: Voter: Trefch

This time of year, there's no shortage of occasions to crack open, a cold beer one, but day. The only thing that could be better than a cold one! That two-ingredient, British pub stalwart leaves as the shandy, which offers bright refreshment and fun, both especially welcome as temperatures climb.

The name is the short-ened form of shandygolf, a drink originally made with beer, often ale, mixed with ginger beer or ginger ale. A recipe first appeared in print in 1916—contrary England, and while shandian nowadays are more often made with equal parts beer and lemonade, the drink remains an enduring feature in pub life.

"Ordering your first shandy is like being, but it's not a "sweet" meal. A nice drink, a not sure stout and no-verse of King, La, Jupiter and now Dean's, a newly opened restaurant in downtown New York City inspired by British pubs. "It's the extra 'level drink,' an intro to your first proper pipe."

Across the country, you'll find the simple beer-and-lemonade combination under other classes: Order a coffee as Gennaro, a classic Spain, a parasite in France, and you'll soon be cooking down with an afternoon, citrus-freightened beer table made for warm days. No matter what you call it, the shandy's was not appeal to multibial. First, its two-part formula makes it especially easy to make.

"I also feel like it's a really British ingredient, so that is going to be really fun for us to play with." For the version at Dean's, life can't off-ever ginger creep from making candied ginger to use in a spice-forward lemonade. At home, barring unfettered across to sports of ginger creep, a classic shandy can be easily fashioned. Your lemonade can be sparkling or still, homemade or already bottled and ready to pour (note that the sparkling option confirmed with the beer's first helps keep the drink extra legible). Should you want to add another layer of flavor to your shandy, modify the allot of fresh fruit or add a splash of fruity crème de cocoa, as in a case shandy.

Greek salad with halloumi features contrasting textures

By Julia Urrien | SFA

This colorful creation brings together the best of nature. Medium-runs cuisine into a harmonious flavor experience, combining fresh non-ripened tomatoes and crunchy cucumbers with the creamy texture of the lipsoa and white beans. The interplay of contrasting textures is

reduced in the pairing of chewy halloumi and crispy pinchwood. Interess of flavor, the opposing textures are united by the subtle seasoning of Kalamata olives, onions, butyric roasted notes and a dressing with a bright acidity. Designed to serve around 30, this recipe is ideal for gelatin pasties, buffets or sharing with family and friends.

Addictive fritters take advantage of okra's seeds

By Vivian Howard | VORACIOUS

If the South had a macon, it would be okra. You love, hate or have an unfounded fear of okra — and the same terms of the South.

There's no vegetable more polarizing than the poor little pod. And it's only one part of okra that tends to bother people the slimy seeds. Now I look okra out. I want to cook with it. I want to change people's minds about it.

I'm not going to print myself as "I Love Okra." I don't or name my next child after it, but I understand and respect it just as

much as I do every other vegetable. Those fritters from my cookbook "Deep Run Roots" reproduce on okra's skins like nothing else. They're sort of a cross between, and like a people, and I find okra, and their pithery texture and vegetal flavor, coupled with this sweet pop of corn, is pleasing and addicted.

Choose large matter, prob and use only their fat make-times. The tortillas would be a little more effective, but I do not think the fritted butter together. I like to eat these fritters right out of the living pan over stewed tomatoes, but they're also nice at room temperature as a scoop for hummus.

The fritters are a cross between a scallion pancake and fried okra. VORACIOUS

SUMMER VEGETABLE SCALLION PANCAKES

• Makes: 4 servings
• 1 cup okra, caps and tips removed, midsection minced
• 1/2 cup fresh corn, cut off the cob
• 1/2 cup squash or purifier, grated on a toe grater or in a food processor
• 2 tablespoons minced scallion
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1. Heat over to 250 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the minced okra, corn, squash, scallion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Let them let the sauce. 2 minutes. The salt will leach out the moisture in the squash. That moisture will actually the same in the okra and bring the veggies together in kind of a givery-tasting mass.

If you want larger fritters, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the heated oil and press down on each sides to flatter it slightly. The fritters should be about ¼ inch thick. If you'd like smaller fritters, start with 1 tablespoon of batter.

JIBARITO

from Page 12

experimental with toppings and sauces, Borinquen has stayed with the version introduced decades ago.

"We just kind of stick to the traditional way of how we created it from the very beginning," Pignatou said.

Pignatou said people now drive across state lines and fly into Chicago to taste the original jibarito.

"We never claim to create a plantain sandwich," Pignatou said. "We just created the jibarito, which is our version of the plantain sandwich."

JIBARITOS Y MÁS

The lunch rush at Jibartos y Más moves quickly. Serene wears between tables carrying chairs of molongs, error gaudules and roasted pork. The scent of fried plantains and seasoned meats fills the dining room. Armany tables are the restaurant's single jibaritos, and guests dig into versions filled with steak, chicken and pork.

Before Jibartos y Más became a restaurant with multiple locations, it was a declaration imagining the thing a daily view exists.

Co-owner Jesus Arrieta, remembers his mother, Valdes Rivera, a Venezuelan immigrant, spending years working in Puerto Rican kitchen across Chicago after arriving in the United States. On her way to work, Rivera passed the corner of Pallacton and Kimball every day, aspiring to open her own restaurant.

Arrieta 10 years later, that vision became creative when the family opened its first Jibartos y Más in April 2010 on Logan Square.

"We opened that location, and the growth was quick," Arrieta said. "We quickly started supporting the space we had."

The growth led to the opening of a location on the farm, known in the cleaning neighborhood, where Arrieta found his place in the business. After coming from Venezuela, he helped convert the space into a restaurant at 24.

"There were only those who," he said. "We had to do everything. The cleaning, the prepping, the serving."

Those long hours laid the foundation for the restaurant's approach to its jibarito. Green plantains are softened, sliced, fried, smashed and fried again before serving.

The restaurant's bestselling steak and onion jibarito is finished with a house blend of sofrito, vinegar, herbs and spices on the grill. Fresh plantains, mayonnaise, cheese and a protein, Arrieta said, are the contemplation of a proper jibarito.

Arrieta said the restaurant serves customers from a wide range of backgrounds, from Puerto Rico to families to visitors trying the jibarito for the first time.

"Our customers are the engine of our business," Arrieta said. "The more important parts of the restaurant is to ensure that that you treat with respect."

THE JIBARITO STOP

In downtown Chicago, pedestrians family part with a buildings and vehicles wear through intersections. Between the rush of computers, the Jibartito Stop on Wabash Street serves Puerto Rican duties from its storefront, drawing customers throughout the day.

The Jibartito Stop has changed locations, survived a fire and introduced a new way to set Chicago's jibarito. Through all of it, co-owner Udo Rodriguez says that he is the first to make.

Rodriguez and her partner, Soraena Puente, never planned on opening a restaurant. The two decided to take a chance on a food truck in 2012 after Rodriguez had been working as a paralegal at an immigration law firm and Puente at a nonprofit.

For three years, they served Puerto Rican food in the Loop

before opening a brick and mortar restaurant in Pilsen in 2015.

"We didn't know how it would go," Rodriguez said. "Are they gonna help us? Are they gonna love us?"

Instead, she said the community embraced the restaurant:

"They've always been supportive." After nearly a decade in Pilsen, an apartment for above the restaurant forced them to close last year. Though the flames never reached the kitchen, water from firefighters destroyed the storefront, leaving the restaurant closed for almost a year.

When they competed in the Loop this year, they brought with their son of first popular mens items, the half jibartito. Rodriguez said the idea came from customers who had difficulty finishing the traditional version, made with a full plantain.

"We were the first to introduce full and half jibartito," she said.

The smaller version, once criticized as "not traditional," became a customer favorite. Today, the half steak jibartito is the restaurant's top seller.

Rodriguez says the recipes

remain rooted in her family's cooking. Her mother's polle gaiaade is her go-to meal back home. She described it as a "warm bowl of comfort" and a feeling she wanted to carry into The Jibartito Stop. Her father's bitter, exorbitable, or steak and onions, is what she uses in the steak jibartito, the restaurant's bestseller.

"We want it to taste the same way it tastes as when I was growing up," Rodriguez said.

She recalled a family of seven who stopped in after a medical appointment and told her the food tasted like food from home.

"Having a restaurant is really hard," Rodriguez said. "When you hear stuff like that, it gives you motivation to keep going."

OMARCITO'S LATIN CAFE

Tucked away on Pallacton Avenue, Omarcito's Latin Cafe in Logan Square is a jibartito sport that requires searching. The restaurant's hidden courtyard opens into an outdoor patio, scattered with colorful umbrellas and lively

customers. For owner Omar Cadena, the atmosphere is intentional. After years working in restaurants such as Calypso Cafe, Punta Muegge & Cafe, Icena and Big & Cafés, Cadena built Omarcito's around the idea that dining should feel personal.

"We don't just take your order," Cadena said. "We want to get to know you."

That focus carries into Omarcito's jibartitos, which Cadena uses to showcase a variety of Latin America as flavors. Instead of racks along a traditional Chicago Puerto Rican sandwich, he adapted it through other Latin influences, including Venezuela's pateeies, a plantain-fossed sandwich that it knows to be the best and most popular than the jibartito.

The restaurant's ropa vieja jibartito combines Cadena decal de Beef with ingredients and techniques from other Latin American cultures, including Salvadorean crema and Ecuadorian influences.

For Cadena, the jibartito is a way to settle on the center, from between Latin American cultures,

"I wanted to celebrate it through food," Cadena said. "I thought it was built to be Latino and to have those co-sponsored. Why are we not celebrating it by putting it together?"

SMASH JIBARITO

Joseph Jibartito's version of the jibartito starts with a smashburger. After working at Street Chicken & Biscuits, Jibartito began experimenting with pop-ups after the pandemic. In 2023, he opened a brick-and-mortar Smash Jibartito on Division Street in Humboldt Park, where the restaurant built a follow up for no longer inspired take on the jibartito.

"I wanted to put my own Hispanic twist on the burger," he said. While scrolling through social media, he saw fried plantain shaped like older boys. "That's when it kind of clicked for me."

Today, the sandwich starts with ripe plantain-fossed, smashed into the shape of clean and striped to order. They cradle a smashed beef patty with American cheese, house-made caramelized onions, pickles and sweet acids.

Before opening a storefront, the Smash Jibartito faced a test in 2023 at Chicago's Puerto Rican Festival, where Jibartito introduced the dish to a comeofovyl to the traditional sandwich.

"All the old-school Puerto Ricans were die-hard jibartito fans," he said. "Yes, how can you do that to a classic?"

His answer was to "try it first." A video filmed at the festival went viral, drawing crowds to the stand and selling out the smashburger. Despite reimagining the jibartito, Jibartito said his goal is to settle out, not replace, the original. "I will never say I have a traditional jibartito," he said. Instead, he points customers toward longtime restaurants like Borinquen. "I'm able to teach and preserve the culture that way."

'GUARANTEED A HORRIBLE DEATH'

By Nina Agrawal THE NEW YORK TIMES

Ethan White first noticed something was wrong at drum practice. A snare drummer in the University of Michigan marching band, he suddenly could no longer feel the muscles in his right hand gripping the drumstick. Weeks earlier, he had marched on the field as the Wolverines won the 2023 national football championship.

Then Ethan tripped while walking up stairs. The university's health service suggested he see a neurologist. In March 2024, Ethan, then 24, was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma, or DMG, an aggressive type of brain tumor that most commonly affects children and adolescents but can also occur in adults.

DMG is the deadliest pediatric cancer. Children diagnosed with it were historically expected to survive about a year. For decades, they faced the same limited treatments and the same dismal outcome. Radiation could temporarily slow the tumor and improve symptoms like weakness and double vision. But children inevitably died of the cancer soon after.

In the past several years, though, researchers have made significant progress to understanding DMG, identifying a genetic mutation underlying many cases and experiencing with therapies that targeted its effects. These treatments are far from a cure. But they appear to slow the disease in some cases, with a handful of patients living for several years.

'For the first time, we don't get zero survival,' said Dr. Salma Mualas, director of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Center at the University of California, San Francisco.

For scientists, it's a issue for hope. But 'it's hard to feel hope when it's your kid,' said Jean, Janeske, whose 5-year-old daughter, Izzy Cashion, was diagnosed with DMG last year. Izzy is in a clinical trial for CAR T-cell therapy, in which a patient's immune cells are engineered to fight off cancer. Before her daughter's diagnosis, Janeske worked as a pediatric oncology nurse and occasionally cared for children with DMG. 'The future is now a death sentence,' she said.

DMG — a term sometimes used interchangeably with diffuse intrinsic pontina glioma, or DSPG, a common subtype — typically with a children between ages 5 to 18. There are about 500 new cases nationwide each year. The first signs are often double vision, one-sided weakness or facial drooping, sometimes with headache or vomiting. Typically, within a year of diagnos-

nis, patients start to lose motor function and develop speech and swallowing issues. Near the end of life, they become unable to move much or communicate, and have difficulty breathing, said Dr. Michelle Mosje, a professor of pediatric neuro-oncology at Stanford University. 'Kids remain pretty alert and aware of everything happening,' she said. 'It's a horrific disease.'

In the early 2000s, when Mosje first treated a patient with this cancer, 'it was just this big black box,' she said, impossible to remove surgically and very risky to biopsy. Starting in the 2010s, doctors figured out how to biopsy the tumors more safely. Using cell lines from patient autopsies, Mosje and other researchers learned how and where the tumors originated. And in 2012, scientists announced the discovery of a mutation present in a majority of these cancers — unique breakthrough. That mutation interferes with a histone, a protein around which DNA is tightly wrapped inside cells, like thyroid around a squid, said Dr. Sriram Vennari, a neuropathologist at the University of Michigan. Ethan good insider, 'the way that the DNA opens or closes for gene to be turned off or turned on gets messed up,' he said. In DMG, the cells

get stuck in a state that promotes cancer. As Vennari tried to figure out what might reverse the mutation, scientists elsewhere were testing a treatment called ONC201 in adults with glioblastoma, another deadly brain cancer. Though the drug failed overall in these patients, it turned out that one who had a good response had the histone mutation.

Dr. Carl Koschmann, a pediatric neuro-oncologist at the University of Michigan, and others worked with the drug's maker, now called Jazz Pharmaceuticals, to test whether it might work for children with DMG. A review of early trials found that patients with the mutation who were treated with ONC201 after initial radiation had a median survival of almost 22 months — nearly double what was typical. Researchers showed that the drug worked primarily by altering the tumor cell's metabolism to fix the lesions 'spout.'

Liza Ward's son, boy, who was diagnosed with DMG at age 20 in 2001, took the drug for 17 months. During that time, he was able to play basketball, go to school and watch sports with friends like never spent a night in the hospital. Jaza died in 2021.

'What every parent wants, short of a cure.' Ward said, 'is to have the longest progression free survival, the longest time where the tumor doesn't grow, and there's great quality of life.'

When Ethan, the University of Michigan drummer, was diagnosed, his parents, Michelle Hartman and Eric White, wanted that for him, too. But because ONC201 was only available in the United States through a clinical trial, which meant he might get a placebo, Ethan's father began traveling to Germany every three months to buy a locally sourced version of the drug at 90-day supply cost $18,000. Ethan received two other medicines off label, which together seems to keep his tumor stable.

He continued living on campus, working toward his own biologic degree. He went skiing and joined Koschmann's Friday night rock climbing group.

In summer 2025, the Food and Drug Administration approved ONC203, known as deodoropress, for its current DMG. The approval is conditioned upon an ongoing trial, but it reached the first drug ever approved for this cancer.

'It's pretty emotional for families and for physicians,' Rose Bennis said.

'Still, the drug doesn't work for everyone and isn't a cure.' This is not the home run for DMG, Koschmann said. 'It is a strong base hit.'

Other experimental therapies have shown similar promise. Mosje and colleagues at Ranfor followed the CAR T-cell therapy could cure DMG in mice and started one of the first human trials in 2025. 'We saw some kids go from which hair-based to walking in a number of weeks,' Mosje said. One outlier patient, diagnosed in high school, remains tumor-free more than five years later. Other trials of CAR T-cell therapies are now underway.

Researchers have also showed that another immunotherapy called an oncolytic virus, which splits apart cancer cells to expose more of them to the immune system, could prolong life. One patient remained free of tumor progression for more than three years. And scientists now know how DMG cells integrate into healthy neural circuits to grow and evade treatment. That is enabling reason: how to begin testing existing drugs — for example, certain anti-mitotic medicines — to disrupt these connections, Mosje said. 'Starting out how how to continue and sequence these drugs will require costly clinical trials. The National Institutes of Health have supported much of the research on DMG, but prospects have distorted with costs to the agency and fewer great awards.'

'The lack of investment is gelling to women. A few hundred children a year 'man not seem like a lot,' Janeske said. But those families 'are guaranteed a horrible death,' she added.

Japan awakens to enduring exercise tradition

For almost 100 years, Radio Taiso cues upturnes for calisthenics

By Stephen Wade ASSOCIATED PRESS

This is how Japan wakes up 3% called Radio Taiso — Kisen to Radio in English — a simple yet dynamic way to start the day.

Japanese radio plays music every morning at 6:30 to accompany basic instructions for calisthenics, and millions perform in the choreography in parks, workplaces, schools — and at home.

Radio Taiso has an almost 200 very history, formally introduced in 1924 and coinciding with the endorsement of Response Minister. The tradition endures because the exercises are suitable for all ages and capabilities, and easily accessible.

We're talking about basic exercises movements: much to the day to further up, twice as fast as once, but at the days, swing the arms and get the shoulders loose, or jump on run in place.

Kisen does not make it as obnoxious as they walk, and it's over in just 30 minutes, all down to the rhythms of a soft press melody. Japan has over 40% tougher from the 1920s, and it's over 50% to the 1930s that is a collective power and physical and social world being.

If you're interested in the second Radio Taiso routines on YouTube in English and in other languages.

BASIC MOVES FOR ALL There are 40 non-albums basic moves that can be done standing or seated. The idea is to keep moving and, though the program runs out by the morning, many devices to open it on their own later in the day.

The routine features a mix of three minute segments that are slightly more difficult — but not much. Most Radio Taiso followers know

the sequence by heart, but beginners can join in and quickly pick up the routines. Newly, sponsors will stand.

The program begins with arms exercises — lifting the arms, circling the arms and stretching the arms side to side. It's followed by bending from the waist and twisting at the waist.

Shoulder raises are incorporated with a few miss-jumping exercises and near-firing to place moves. Along the way you add in such exercises, moves to stretch the chest and small squats for leg power.

Each movement is repeated four to eight times with instructions throughout to relax, breathe, and inhale and exhale slowly.

A SOCIAL EVENT, YOU Meiko Kobayashi is 88

and goes to Kiko Park — an expansive layout in the east. Take a new — almost every 10 minutes, and keep gaiters without fall. "It's a cold or raining, I don't go," she said. "By moving my body, I had better."

She and her 17-year-old friend, Toshiko Nagao, said that some who gave the park daily live alone, and this is an important social anchor — particularly for the elderly.

"Laughing and chatting while taking a walk after 10% exercises is also good," Nagao added. "We come even on 10% of my life."

"Keep back to a 10 — be 8 pass for 10 — and be 5 been a regular for about 20 years. "It's for my joints, mainly the knees and back, because of my age," Iguchi said. "I get up a 5 a.m. anyway."

he added. "I come to the park about 6 and do a round of walking ahead of the Radio Taiso session. Most of the faces are familiar, and coming here and getting together with them is also one of the things I look forward to."

Japan has one of the world's longest-lived populations, attributed to its diet, healthcare system and a lifestyle that encourages the elderly to live active. The average life expectancy is about 18, and only 95ing hours is reported to be slightly higher. By comparison, the United States life expectancy is about 70.

The Japanese government announced last late year that 99,763 people were alive in Japan at 100 or more, a new national record for the 50th straight year.

The breakdown was 97,784 female (34%) and 32,979 male (12%). Japan holds the record for the most conservation relative to its population, which is about 122 million.

AMERICAN BOOTS Radio Taiso was inspired a career ago by a similar radio program in the United States sponsored by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. The Japan Radio Taiso Federation says officials of the postal ministry ruled that United States in the 1920s and returned to Japan with the concept.

Written a decade, millions were participating. The federation says the program was led by postal workers who died found pamphlets and organized training sessions.

Japan was under United States occupation after its debut in 1940 in World War II, and the exercises were banned — largely because they were done in groups. The federation says the practice was seen as "emotional" with a possible air of infiltration.

The group exercise were resumed in 1941, backed by popular demand at the American occupation ended in 1972.

According to a 2023 survey by the federation, more than 20 million people in Japan practiced a Radio Taiso session at least once a week.

Radio Taiso has caught on in many countries abroad, most notably in Brazil, which has the largest population of people of Japanese decent living outside Japan.

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY PRESCRIPTIONS AND HOME REMEDIES

Besides relieving constipation, Metamucil lowers cholesterol

By Joe Graesden, M.S. and Teresa Graesden, Ph.D. KING FLETHERS SYNDICATE

Q. My doctors have prescribed several statins over the years. All of them caused her-like side effects, especially nightmares, and mood changes.

Eventually, I gave up on the statistics and said that if Metamucil to help lower my cholesterol and aged girls, we have to control my blood pressure. I am doing for better than I was about any prescription.

A. Profологi Dombayli is a statistician who at middle fiber that modestly lowers cholesterol. It is the active ingredient in Metamucil.

And I got to criticize that here's down to lower blood pressure for 5 to 10 years. I think it is not possible. That is about as effective as many years of low blood pressure medicines.

We are glad to know that we are talking well. Your doctor can track your progress with blood tests, and you can monitor your blood pressure at home.

Q: I contracted alpha-gal mod all drug while living in Long Island, New York, over a decade ago. An obnoxious prescription is a single, diagnosed me and sent me to an allergist for confirmation. When I moved to North Carolina, my one doctor requested further testing. The lab had no idea what I could do.

I eventually grew out of the allergy over four years. Since 1921, I have been able to eat most again. Your recent volume of alpha-gal allergy did not address the fact that many people grew out of the allergy. Fortunately, my allergy-matched smokers have been only hiws, fewer thawks, I was instructed to carry an Epilhen with me just in case. When I go to doctors' offices now, most nurses

have never heard of this allergy. They ask me to explain to them what the alpha-gal allergy is, so thank you for your column that shed some light on a little-known ailment. A. Alpha-gal allergy can be challenging to diagnose because the reaction is often delayed for several hours after eating meat (beef, pork, lamb, etc.). People typically experience loose or digestive distress. Some people develop airway swelling or anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. That's why you were told to keep an Epilhen on hand.

This allergy is triggered by a tick bite. Like you, some people lose their reactivity to eating meat over time. Others may retain this sensitivity indefinitely. They may also react to gelatin capsules or medicines that contain animal products.

Q: For many years, I suffered from urinary tract infections on a regular basis and was told the problem was my hygiene (vacant wiping correctly because of my being very careful). I heard this answer for years that the infections were my fault.

Finally, in 2016, I had

surgery for a complete pelvic prolapse. My surgeon prescribed a digital estrogen cream (Promarin). When I moved two years ago, my prescription changed to an estradiol cream, which I've used ever since. And, miraculously, I've not had a single UTI in all the years following my surgery. It is such a swirl! A. Recurrent urinary tract infections make some women miserable. This problem is particularly common after menopause. Vaginal estrogen cream has been recommended.
