全美范围内,一场捍卫投票权的竞赛

2024年,芝加哥选举委员会正在处理邮寄选票。ANTONIO PEREZ / TRIBUNE

接下来的步骤是什么?美国地方法院法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼已安排在9月3日举行听证会,以决定是否发布一项长期禁令,以拦截新的邮寄投票规定。法律专家预计,针对美国邮政署规定以及特朗普行政令的挑战最终可能会提交至美国最高法院。

质疑合法性,法官拦截特朗普关于邮寄投票的行政令

作者:里克·皮尔逊 芝加哥论坛报

唐纳德·特朗普总统试图让美国邮政署成为决定谁能接收并投递邮寄选票的最终裁决者,但这一努力被一名联邦法官暂时拦截。该法官表示,各州在11月3日大选前要遵守一项“极有可能违宪的规定”是“几乎不可能的”。

波士顿美国地方法院法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼在周四晚上的裁决中,要求美国邮政署暂停执行特朗普于3月份发布的一项行政令14天。该行政令赋予了美国邮政署监管中期选举邮寄投票的权力。

这也是一系列令人困惑的法律行动中的最新举措

在华盛顿特区,数千人谴责可能限制投票箱访问权限的法院裁决

作者:马特·布朗和马修·容科夫斯基 美联社

华盛顿——周五,数千名抗议者在国家广场集会,在中期选举前支持投票权和种族正义。此前,一系列投票法和选区划分的变更引发了民权组织的谴责,认为这些变更对美国黑人不利。

由阿尔·夏普顿牧师和马丁·路德·金三世组织的2026年“捍卫投票权”华盛顿大游行,呼应了马丁·路德·金 (小) 牧师在1963年的游行。此次活动是在美国最高法院4月份就“路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案”做出里程碑式裁决之后举行的,该裁决重新解释了1965年选举权法的关键条款,允许

与黑手党有长期联系的男子无需受审

“异常”协议限制法院深入调查被告背景

作者:杰森·迈斯纳 芝加哥论坛报

罗伯特·“鲍比”·多米尼克在格兰德大道上度过了一辈子,但似乎总是处于幕后。

多米尼克因与理查德酒吧(Richard's Bar)的关系而为人所知,那是一家老派酒馆,市里的禁烟条例在那里似乎从未被执行。据传,多米尼克与芝加哥黑手党 (Outfit) 的联系可追溯到多年前。联邦调查局(FBI)的记录显示,他曾是臭名昭著的头目“小丑”乔伊·隆巴多的司机。《论坛报》曾报道,他涉嫌为该犯罪集团经营色情和赌博业务。消息人士称,他与目前的黑手党领导层保持着密切关系。

但多米尼克从未成为家喻户晓的人物。他没有显著的犯罪记录。随着旧时头目在联邦调查局的一系列调查中相继倒台,他继续在理查德酒吧低调地维持其影响力,而这家酒吧在账面上至少是由他的姐姐拥有的。

因此,当多米尼克周五出现在德克森美国法院承认一项税务指控时,没有引起媒体的大规模轰动,这很符合他的身份。对于外部观察者来说,这场针对这位留着灰色胡须、说话轻柔的男子的听证会可能看起来与任何其他听证会没有区别,除了坐在后排的来自公共腐败调查组的联邦调查局特工。

随后,法官仔细审查了达成的协议,其中包含一项直接进入量刑程序并建议短期缓刑的条款。

在喜马拉雅山脉发生导致数千人失踪的毁灭性洪水后,芝加哥的尼泊尔和西藏社区团结起来提供支持

“我们需要提供帮助”

作者:芬尼根·贝洛 / 芝加哥论坛报

随着尼泊尔和西藏毁灭性洪水的消息传遍全球,芝加哥的尼泊尔领袖于周三晚上举行了一次虚拟紧急会议。在一次拥挤的 Facebook Messenger 通话中,他们讨论了如何最好地协调灾难救援的筹款工作。

数以千计的尼泊尔移民定居在芝加哥及其郊区,创办非营利组织、开设餐厅并经营企业。首届尼泊尔街道节于 8 月 15 日在埃奇沃特社区举行,节日参与者在此欣赏了尼泊尔的艺术、音乐和美食展示。

现在,这些领袖正利用社区的力量来组织行动。

参加该在线会议的人员包括尼泊尔美国中心副总裁什里尼-瓦斯·卡布拉。他表示,通话中的人员来自许多不同的组织且目标各异,但在计划传统和在线筹款活动时,他们同意作为一个整体将筹款资金汇入尼泊尔政府的灾难账户。

卡布拉表示,最终他们还希望收集物资。“每个人都同意我们需要共同努力,并尽一切可能提供帮助,”他说。

根据政府和救援组织发布的最新数据,尼泊尔和中国本周紧急应对灾难性的山洪,此次洪水导致近 600 人死亡,近 2,500 人失踪。在尼泊尔与中国边境,救援人员正将浑身沾满深褐色泥浆的幸存者拉出,直升机则将受困人员运送到安全地带。

救援工作包括一支通过绳索下降进入

多莉·帕顿 1946-2026

《直言》(STRAIGHT TALK)

用她自己的话回顾这位乡村音乐偶像多次到访芝加哥的岁月

作者:Kori Rumore 芝加哥论坛报

2008年5月8日,在芝加哥剧院一场门票售罄的演唱会上,多莉·帕顿告诉观众,当她时辰到了的时候,她希望自己在唱歌中途突然离世。

“这样一来,你们大家就可以说,在她去世的那晚,我就在她的身边,”帕顿说道。

遗憾的是,帕顿的这个愿望没有实现。本周早些时候,她在田纳西州纳什维尔的一家癌症中心去世,享年80岁。但在她的一生中,有如此多的人陪伴在她身边。在《论坛报》超过7,600次出现帕顿名字的报道中,可以清楚地看到,她通过歌曲、电影、创业等方式,始终保持着对自己乡村根源的真实追求。她也是一名充满干劲的商业女性,她许多成功(以及一些不那么成功)的尝试让她多次往返于芝加哥。

尽管外表如此,帕顿绝不是一个会被低估的人。

1975年10月,29岁的帕顿被评为乡村音乐协会年度最佳女歌手,一个月后,《论坛报》的乡村音乐专栏作家杰克·赫斯特将这位新晋独唱艺人描述为“一个活泼的田纳西山地女孩,顶着如山般高耸的发型,穿着夸张的衣服,凸显出她相当出众的身体魅力”。

“在随之而来的光芒中,人们有时会忘记她是一位才华横溢的创作歌手,她的背景与威尔玛·李·库珀一样纯朴且具有原教旨主义色彩。……她的声音和风格保留了强烈的真诚感和善意,而这正是非商业福音音乐的主要特征。”

以下是回顾帕顿数十年来在芝加哥及其周边地区时光的记录——以及《论坛报》对其的报道。

1977年4月28日

《论坛报》的音乐评论家林恩·范·马特雷——此前曾对帕顿的外表及其向流行音乐的跨界尝试持批评态度——将帕顿在伊万霍剧院的首场门票售罄演出称为“纯粹的享受”。

“她正朝着某个方向前进,我希望她在到达那里之前不要改变太多,”范·马特雷写道。“目前,帕顿已经设法在一定程度上摆脱了旧有的、严格的乡村音乐束缚,但仍保留了她的魅力。”

帕顿的曲目单包括《Jolene》、《Coat of Many Colors》和《My Tennessee Mountain Home》。

“如果你喜欢我的表演,请告诉你的所有朋友,”帕顿对观众说。“如果你不喜欢,那就闭上你的大嘴。”

一个月后,利兹·史密斯在她的专栏中写道:“预测:一年后我想让你们记住这些话——多莉·帕顿!……多么巨大的才华。”

AUGUST 1977

在另一场当地演出前的采访中,赫斯特询问帕顿是否曾梦想过能像现在这样受欢迎。

“你知道,你可以让自己想得病,也可以让自己想得贫穷。你可以认为自己的婚姻糟糕透顶,也可以让它运转起来。如果你病了,你可以让自己想健康,”帕顿说道。“任何我想要或希望实现的事情,我只需将其发生的画面可视化。所以我就这样思考。而我离我的目标还很远,因为我离我设想中要去的地方还很远。……我想去任何我想去的地方。不仅仅是为了虚荣,我只是想倾尽我所有。我要让自己想得尽可能地成功。”

OCTOBER 1977

为什么要戴那些华丽的假发? 帕顿告诉赫斯特:“我想要这种大头发的形象。如果你有才华,除非你有某种能吸引注意力的东西,否则人们会忽视它。……因为——你知道——我身上某些部分本来就很极端。所以我想,‘好吧,我就把周围的一切都装饰起来。’”

“但这对我的头发伤害很大。为了方便,我决定使用假发。这样我就不必在巡演时随行带一个人来帮我做头发。我可以准备好预设的假发,而且因为它们是合成纤维的,不会像真发那样失去卷度。”

帕顿表示,在典型的为期一个月巡演中,她通常会带 20 到 25 顶不同的假发。

帕顿自己的头发——她称之为“看起来灰蒙蒙的金色”——是“极细的”。

NOVEMBER 1977

在 WMAQ 电台总经理伯特·舍伍德发现帕顿出现在 WGN 电台并接受了罗伊·伦纳德(恰好与帕顿的 1 月 19 日生日相同)的采访后,帕顿被禁止进入位于 Merchandise Mart 的 WMAQ 电台演播室。

“舍伍德气疯了,”《论坛报》专栏作家加里·迪布写道。“他认为既然 WMAQ 是一个全职的乡村音乐频道,帕顿在芝加哥期间应将她的广播露面仅限于该电台。”

“因此,在舍伍德的直接命令下,WMAQ 的播音人员立即停止了所有关于多莉周三晚上在礼堂剧院(Auditorium Theatre)音乐会的提及,并且原定与主持人弗雷德·桑德斯的现场采访也被取消了。”

JULY 16, 1978

在礼堂剧院的一场演出后,范·马特雷表示帕顿“没有失去任何让她如此具有亲和力的脆弱感”。

“因为虽然帕顿带有南方口音的女高音听起来经常显得脆弱而温柔,但她给人的整体印象却是坚强:她的歌曲通常是一个面对情感、面对痛苦的女性的心声,但同时也是一个幸存者的歌曲,”范·马特雷写道。

乡村音乐协会在 1978 年 10 月将帕顿评为年度艺人。

1980年12月

帕顿的大银幕首秀出现在喜剧电影《9到5》(9 to 5)中。帕顿与资深演员莉莉·汤姆林(Lily Tomlin)和简·方达(Jane Fonda)在片中饰演老板达布尼·科尔曼(Dabney Coleman)的秘书。在初次与她见面时,《论坛报》评论员吉恩·西斯克尔(Gene Siskel)被她深深吸引。

他写道:“称她为丰满的玛丽莲·梦露并没有错。她身上散发出那种标志着特别之人、标志着巨星的灿烂光芒。”

帕顿向西斯克尔解释了为什么她认为自己的表演风格能引起电影评论家的共鸣:“也许是因为我没有经过精雕细琢,所以我给人的感觉像个真实的人,而不是一个在钻研角色或接受指导的人。我觉得自己更像是一个真实的人,而不是一个角色。”

西斯克尔给这部电影仅打了2½星(他随后给她的电影——1982年与伯特·雷诺兹(Burt Reynolds)合作的《德克萨斯州最好的小妓院》(The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas)以及1989年的《钢铁木兰》(Steel Magnolias)——也同样打了2½星)。

他写道:“最大的失望在于,这部关于三个秘书联手对付老板的简·方达喜剧片缺乏足够的力度。”

然而,帕顿为该片演唱的主题曲《9到5》成为了她职业生涯中第一首登顶流行音乐榜的单曲,并获得了奥斯卡奖提名。这首歌还赢得了两项格莱美奖:最佳乡村歌曲和最佳女性乡村表演。

1987年5月

在罗兹蒙特地平线(Rosemont Horizon)演出之前,帕顿告诉《论坛报》,她生命中有三个人让她保持谦逊与脚踏实地:她的丈夫卡尔·迪恩(Carl Dean);从7岁起就与她“形影不离”的挚友朱莉·奥格尔(July Ogle);以及她的长期经纪人兼商业伙伴桑迪·加林(Sandy Gallin)。

“有些人因为某种原因——无论是缺乏安全感还是单纯需要陪伴——需要时刻在一起。我不能代表其他婚姻,但我们不需要那样,”帕顿说。“卡尔是一个非常独立的人,我也非常独立。他不嫉妒我,我也不嫉妒他。”

迪恩在与帕顿结婚近60年后,于2025年去世。

1991年7月-8月

帕顿与詹姆斯·伍兹(James Woods,饰演一名《芝加哥太阳时报》记者)在库克县极西南角的莱蒙特(Lemont)拍摄电影《直言》(Straight Talk)。该村的主街和巴德尼克药店(Budnik's Pharmacy)被用来代表阿肯色州的一个小镇,那是帕顿饰演的角色希莉·肯扬(Shirlee Kenyon)的故乡——希莉曾是一名舞蹈教师,后来搬到芝加哥在电台脱口秀节目中扮演一名心理学家。

西斯克尔在评价的所有帕顿电影中给了这部片最高分:3星。

西斯克尔写道:“我唯一的愿望是伍兹和帕顿能有更多共同戏份,因为《直言》的故事收尾得太快了。但希望一部电影能更长,在某种程度上也是一种赞美。”

1993年2月

当时,惠特尼·休斯顿(Whitney Houston)为1992年电影《保镖》(The Bodyguard)翻唱的帕顿作品《我将永远爱你》(I Will Always Love You)打破了流行金曲榜历史上单曲蝉联冠军时间最长的记录。

“这首歌在70年代初由我唱到了(乡村榜)第一,80年代初我又唱到了第一,现在在90年代初它又是第一——只不过这次是真正的大红大紫,”帕顿告诉赫斯特(Hurst)。“我将永远爱惠特尼·休斯顿。她让我变得富有。”

当时有传闻称,帕顿将在一档名为《迪克西烹饪》(Dixie Fixin’s)的CBS芝加哥有线烹饪节目中担任主持人,但该计划从未走出规划阶段。

2011年1月19日

基于1980年电影改编的音乐剧《9到5:音乐剧》(9 to 5: The Musical)首次全国巡演在芝加哥停靠。帕顿创作了该剧的曲谱和歌词,并欢迎剧迷观看演出。

她告诉《论坛报》评论员克里斯·琼斯(Chris Jones):“我是时钟的‘脸’(指扮演时钟形象)。我在《9到5》的伴奏中讲述70年代的故事。”

在演出首演当天,帕顿也坐在观众席中,而那天恰好是她的65岁生日。

她说:“我觉得芝加哥非常有活力且令人兴奋。我认为这里是一个适合演剧的地方。”

2016年8月7日

帕顿在场满座的拉维尼亚演出(她在芝加哥地区的最后一场演唱会)中,谈到了她卑微的出身,以及如何将这些根源与她为自己塑造的夸张形象相调和。

自由评论员乔什·克莱恩写道:“无论是在最真挚还是最不严肃的时刻,无论是自豪地演唱《我的田纳西山乡》,还是请出她的‘性感牛仔助手’,亦或是在无伴奏的《珍贵的记忆》中与一群蝉鸣共鸣,帕顿的热情与活力从未减弱。”

前洛雷托医院高管将继续被羁押

Dr. Anosh Ahmed, former chief operating officer at Loretto Hospital, on April 30, 2020. BRIAN CASSELLA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

作者:杰森·迈斯纳(Jason Meisner) 芝加哥论坛报

在海外生活两年后,前洛雷托医院(Loretto Hospital)高管阿诺什·艾哈迈德(Anosh Ahmed)目前将继续被羁押,等待两起案件的审理。这两起案件指控他从这家位于西区的安全网医疗机构中骗取资金,随后又经营了一场大规模的 COVID-19 检测诈骗案。

艾哈迈德在被起诉时居住在迪拜,并于去年在塞尔维亚被捕。在放弃引渡抗争后,他于本周被带回芝加哥。

周五下午,他在美国地方法院治安法官杨·金(Young Kim)面前进行了首次出庭,过程持续了 16 分钟。

艾哈迈德身穿橙色囚服,脚穿便鞋,在金法官面前显得很平静。美国助理检察官戴安·麦克阿瑟(Diane MacArthur)详细阐述了针对他的两组指控。其中最严重的罪名如果被定罪,将面临 20 年监禁和数十万美元的罚款。

艾哈迈德双手在背后交叠,仅在确认自己了解基本权利、指控内容以及定罪后可能面临的处罚时才开口说话。在整个听证过程中,金法官称呼他为“艾哈迈德博士”。

麦克阿瑟表示,检察官请求在审判前将艾哈迈德羁押。他的辩护律师丹·韦伯(Dan Webb)表示,艾哈迈德目前将放弃举行羁押听证会的权利,但可能会在稍后日期提出保释问题。

韦伯代表艾哈迈德就涉及洛雷托医院欺诈的指控提交了无罪抗辩。艾哈迈德定于周一再次出庭,届时将就 COVID 诈骗起诉书进行提审。

自从艾哈迈德在调查风暴中离开芝加哥前往迪拜以来,当地情况发生了很大变化。今年早些时候,负责该调查的联邦检察官被指控在“布罗德维六人组”(Broadview Six)大陪审团面前存在不当行为,导致该案以极其惨烈的方式崩盘,并引发了一场关于不信任美国检察官办公室的持续丑闻。

此后有披露称,该检察官谢里·梅克伦堡(Sheri Mecklenburg)在起诉艾哈迈德及其几名共同被告的大陪审团中也涉嫌采取了类似行为。结果,COVID 诈骗案中的另外两人被撤销指控,而艾哈迈德在洛雷托医院的两名前同事最近获得了优厚的缓期起诉协议,这意味着他们将不会被定罪。

随着艾哈迈德现在回到这里面对指控,他的强大法律团队无疑将寻求以类似理由请求撤销针对他的案件。

负责监督 COVID 相关案件的美国地方法院法官莎伦·约翰逊·科尔曼(Sharon Johnson Coleman)此前告诉艾哈迈德的律师,一旦他被提审,律师可以重新申请就导致起诉的原因举行完整的证据听证会,这可能会强制梅克伦堡以及美国检察官办公室的高层出庭作证。

然而,在周四——即艾哈迈德在芝加哥被羁押当天,检察官从另一个大陪审团获得了一份新的起诉书,这可能会阻止进一步的调查。

这份包含 15 项指控的起诉书仅点名艾哈迈德,且在很大程度上镜像了之前的指控。检察官正寻求没收从与艾哈迈德相关的各种账户中扣押的超过 5000万美元 现金,以及两辆劳斯莱斯、一辆兰博基尼、一辆梅赛德斯和位于休斯顿的三处豪华房产。

到目前为止,在针对洛雷托医院前高管的广泛欺诈调查中,仅有一人被定罪。

芝加哥实验室所有者穆罕默德·西拉朱丁(Mohamed Sirajudeen)目前正与检察官合作。他本月早些时候承认,在 2021, 的两个月期间帮助艾哈迈德骗取了数千万美元的政府报销款,其中大部分是针对从未实际进行的 COVID 检测。

在另一份起诉书中,洛雷托医院前首席执行官乔治·米勒(George Miller Jr.)和前高管希瑟·伯格达尔(Heather Bergdahl)均获得了缓期起诉协议。第四名被告、医疗用品公司所有者萨米尔·苏海尔(Sameer Suhail)目前仍面临待决指控,他在2025年起诉书提交之前也已离开芝加哥前往迪拜。

据检察官称,艾哈迈德利用从包括洛雷托医院在内的多种渠道获取的患者信息,生成虚假索赔申请,并通过西拉朱丁位于芝加哥的实验室——奥黑尔临床实验室服务公司(O'Hare Clinical Lab Services)以及艾哈迈德在德克萨斯州拥有但并未实际运营的实验室提交。

在与检察官签署的35页认罪协议中,西拉朱丁承认他知道自己的实验室“并未进行许多”艾哈迈德发送的患者电子表格中所反映的PCR检测,但他的公司仍然向艾哈迈德支付了费用并提交了报销申请。

根据认罪协议,从2021, 7月开始的两个月期间,西拉朱丁的实验室向美国卫生与公众服务部提交了约 $23800 万 的报销请求,其中约 6500万美元 得到了支付。

认罪协议显示,另有 1.85亿美元 的报销请求最终因该计划的一次无关暂停而未被处理。

认罪协议称,2022, 2月,艾哈迈德担心政府已经盯上他,于是向西拉朱丁提出了一套掩盖真相的方案。

西拉朱丁同意帮助艾哈迈德伪造记录以隐藏回扣款项的真实性质,包括创建一份虚假的、倒签日期的许可协议,以及针对从未提供的个人防护装备和其他商品与服务的虚假发票。认罪协议还指出,他还向库克县提交了一份虚假的担保票据,使奥黑尔公司直接支付给艾哈迈德的部分款项看起来像是与一项实际并不存在的贷款相关。

此次调查的起因是,这家位于西区的社会保障医院在新冠疫苗接种开放后不久,因违规分发疫苗而遭到抨击。2021年,在Block Club Chicago和WBEZ的报道之后,洛雷托医院承认其违规为芝加哥市中心特朗普大厦的员工接种了疫苗,并在疫苗依然短缺时违规为库克县法官接种了疫苗。

2024, 艾哈迈德被指控在五年期间(包括疫情高峰期)从该医院挪用了至少 1500万美元,手段是通过向供应商公司支付款项,而这些公司明知所谓的商品和服务并未提供。

在这些指控被提起时,艾哈迈德已经在迪拜,而迪拜与美国之间没有正式的引渡条约。

在迪拜生活期间,艾哈迈德发起了一场奇怪的公共关系活动,旨在重建个人形象,并可能试图引起唐纳德·特朗普总统的关注。特朗普此前曾在多个著名的芝加哥地区案件中授予行政赦免,对象从“帮派门徒”帮(Gangster Disciples)头目拉里·胡佛(Larry Hoover)到前伊利诺伊州州长罗德·布拉戈耶维奇(Rod Blagojevich)。

在通过新闻线发出的系列新闻稿中,艾哈迈德将自己标榜为一名总部位于芝加哥的企业家,决心通过为历史上服务不足的西区带来高科技就业机会来打破贫困循环。

许多新闻稿中列出的媒体联系人为梅根·特朗普(Meghan Trump)。所列的电话号码后来被证实是芝加哥特朗普国际酒店的总机,艾哈迈德曾在该酒店拥有一套公寓。

其中一份新闻稿声称,艾哈迈德显著增加了在芝加哥的捐款,支持免费健康筛查和心理健康支持,并向贫困家庭“启动每日 $1,000 现金救济赠送”。

艾哈迈德在其网站上被引用的话称:“希望激励全球的家庭和专业人士创造一份遗产,在广阔的世界中产生积极的涟漪。”

记录显示,艾哈迈德于11月 30, 在塞尔维亚被国际通缉令逮捕。

芝加哥公立学校

小组针对性别政策展开调查

作者:凯特·佩雷斯 (Kate Perez) 芝加哥论坛报

美国众议院教育与劳动力委员会正继续对其对芝加哥公立学校(CPS)展开调查,要求提供更多关于该学区支持跨性别学生以及其他多样性、公平性和包容性计划之政策的信息。

在周四致学区首席执行官麦奎琳·金(Macquiline King)的一封信中,委员会主席、来自密歇根州的共和党众议员蒂姆·沃尔伯格(Tim Walberg)写道,委员会“正在审查 CPS 的政策如何影响儿童的安全、隐私和福祉,以及父母是否被排除在涉及其子女的重大决定之外”,特别是围绕代词和首选性别等话题。

该信函包括要求学区提供更多相关指南的信息,包括针对学生的性别和性取向保护措施;自 2023 年以来关于某些 性别计划的书面投诉;针对教师和教练开展的性别与性取向培训;以及从 2025 年开始与性别和性取向相关的课程和材料。

这封信是在金在华盛顿出席委员会听证会为学区政策辩护两个月后发出的。2025, 因其“黑人学生成功计划”而受到联邦调查。在学区拒绝取消该计划后,美国教育部撤回了数百万美元的联邦拨款。更广泛地说,教育部已对其他学校的性别和性取向政策启动了类似的调查,包括近期在马里兰州和密歇根州开展的调查。

金在 6 月的听证会上坚定地为学区辩护,在回答委员会的多个问题时表示, 的指南符合伊利诺伊州法律,并强调了其对公平的承诺。

“在 ,我们主张每一个学生,每一所学校,每一个社区,”金说道。“履行这一承诺要求我们承认整个学区内存在的多样化经验、需求和优势。”

众议院委员会的信函要求学区不晚于 9 月 11 日做出回应。

信中指出:“收集到的信息将有助于委员会考虑是否需要潜在的立法变更。”

奥罗拉(AURORA)

AR-15步枪据称从警车中被盗

作者:莫莉·莫罗 (Molly Morrow) 《奥罗拉灯塔新闻》(AURORA BEACON-NEWS)

凯恩县警长办公室表示,近日一支AR-15步枪在奥罗拉市一名凯恩县副警长的警车中被盗。

警长办公室在新闻稿中称,事件发生在周二凌晨,一名副警长的警车在停放在其位于奥罗拉市的家中时被盗,一支县政府所有的Aero Precision AR-15步枪被盗。

新闻稿称,事件发生后,警长办公室的调查部门一直在“开发并追踪与潜在嫌疑人相关的线索”。

周五上午,凯恩县副警长艾米·约翰逊 (Amy Johnson) 告诉《灯塔新闻》,该事件目前没有新进展,但办公室仍在积极开展调查。

该办公室在新闻稿中表示,由于调查工作正在进行,最初限制了向公众发布的相关信息,并称“发布更多细节……可能会危及线索以及识别和定位潜在涉案人员的努力”。

警长办公室表示,调查仍在继续,并指出目前认为该事件是孤立的。办公室要求任何掌握该事件信息的人员联系其调查部门,电话:630-444-1103。

除刑事调查外,该办公室表示还将进行内部行政审查,以确定是否遵守了警长办公室的政策和程序。

周五,罗伯特·多米尼克在就涉及抽奖游戏机的逃税案认罪并被判刑后,被车接离芝加哥的德克森美国法院。摄影:TERRENCE ANTONIO JAMES / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

多米尼克(接A1页)

“这很不寻常,”美国地方法院法官伊莱恩·巴克洛 (Elaine Bucklo) 在听证会开始时说道,“我需要知道这是怎么回事。”

通常情况下,在联邦法院认罪的被告需要接受所谓的“量刑前调查”(presence investigation),法院官员会对被告的背景以及与定罪相关的行为进行深入调查,并撰写一份建议量刑的报告。

但这些程序对多米尼克来说全部被豁免了。原因何在?

美国助理检察官理查德·罗斯布拉特 (Richard Rothblatt) 告诉法官,多米尼克现年72岁,是一名“初犯”,且其办公室已认定国税局(IRS)并未遭受实际的税收损失,所有这些因素共同决定了以这种方式结案。

“那么,一定是有什么原因让你们决定起诉他,”巴克洛说道。

最终,巴克洛同意了这项协议,从而取消了原定于今年晚些时候进行的审判。多米尼克身穿灰色西装,系浅绿色领带,在30分钟的听证会期间话语很少,且由于听力问题,不得不要求法官多次重复话语。

当法官询问他的学历时,多米尼克说:“高中读了两个月。”他说自己已经退休多年。那么他在工作时是做什么的?

“我会帮我父亲打理酒馆和出租房,”多米尼克告诉法官,这显然是指与理查德酒吧(Richard's Bar)相连的单间住宿设施——金合欢酒店(Acacia Hotel)。

根据协议条款,多米尼克在案件审理期间以保释金获释度过的一年半时间将计入其两年的缓刑期。这意味着到明年年初,他将获得自由,不再受任何法院监督。

听证会结束几分钟后,多米尼克在律师之一乔尔·拉布 (Joel Rabb) 的陪同下走出德克森美国法院,随后登上汽车,未发表评论。当天晚些时候,拉布在接听电话时表示:“我没什么好说的。祝你愉快,”随后挂断了电话。

他的首席律师加布里埃尔·桑索内蒂 (Gabrielle Sansonetti) 同样拒绝发表评论。

多米尼克在与检察官签署的一份简陋的认罪协议中承认,他指示其妻子(仅被标识为“个人B”)在2021年和2022年为“公司A”准备公司税务申报表,而该申报表未能披露他的所有权权益。

协议指出,“公司A”按时缴纳了所有适用的公司税,但多米尼克承认,“公司A的所有权信息对于美国国税局(IRS)在确定、计算、评估和征收税收等方面具有重大影响”。

与去年最初指控中的内容相比,这些承认显得微不足道。根据那份起诉书,多米尼克通过其当时女友拥有的一家虚假实体,从两家抽奖游戏公司获得了数十万美元的款项。

根据现已撤销的最初起诉书,在2020, 1月其女友去世一个月后,多米尼克涉嫌通过另一名女性设立了另一家虚假公司,并继续接收来自抽奖企业的款项。

起诉书列出的多米尼克涉嫌从抽奖游戏公司收到的款项总额超过$1.200 万。指控还称,多米尼克未能提交反映该项收入的个人税务申报表。

周五在法庭上,罗斯布拉特表示,检察官认定“公司A”已按时向美国国税局(IRS)缴纳了所有适用的所得税,且“个人B”此前欠缴的任何个人所得税已在随后几年内补齐。

针对多米尼克的案件是一项针对抽奖游戏机阴暗世界的爆炸性调查的衍生结果,该调查导致前州众议员路易斯·阿罗约(Luis Arroyo)和商人詹姆斯·魏斯(James Weiss)垮台。魏斯的妻子是前州众议员玛丽亚·“托妮”·贝里奥斯(Maria "Toni" Berrios)的女儿。

检察官在魏斯刑事案件的一份量刑文件中指称,魏斯涉嫌与臭名昭著的黑帮杀手弗兰克·“德国人”·施魏斯(Frank "The German" Schweihs)是“好朋友”,且曾因其按摩店受到其他帮派威胁而向其寻求保护。

在一次联邦调查局(FBI)的窃听记录中,魏斯的兄弟约瑟夫(Joseph)提到,在魏斯据报道向施魏斯寻求帮助后,魏斯与一名“已知的长期黑帮关联人员”建立了合作关系。当时,施魏斯已被指控参与具有里程碑意义的“家庭秘密”黑帮案且在潜逃。根据其兄弟的讲述,“德国人”告诉魏斯:“吉姆,我现在在地下潜伏……但我会让人马上给你回电话。”

检察官称,约瑟夫·魏斯表示,“有人给吉米打了电话”,让他去见多米尼克,而多米尼克“把一切都解决了”。“从那时起,他们在所有事情上都是合作伙伴。问题是(多米尼克)像个帮派分子,但他是个诚实的人。如果你是他的朋友,你就是他的朋友。”

据当局称,施魏斯曾担任黑帮大道街区(Grand Avenue street crew)的执行者数十年,他在2008年等待审判期间死于癌症。

约瑟夫·魏斯在2023年被指控在关于其兄弟涉嫌黑帮关联(包括此前与施魏斯和多米尼克的接触)的问题上向联邦调查员撒谎。他认罪并被判处两个月监禁。

《论坛报》此前报道,詹姆斯·魏斯的抽奖公司V.S.S.与前芝加哥警察约翰·阿德雷尼(John Adreani)有关联,阿德雷尼因与一名重大毒品贩子交往而于2015年被芝加哥警察局(CPD)开除。

记录显示,另一名关联人员安东尼·德马科(Anthony DeMarco)注册了一家抽奖企业,使用了位于大道街区(Grand Avenue)的地址,该建筑内设有理查德餐厅(Richard's)以及意大利餐厅La Scarola。

詹姆斯·魏斯在2023年被陪审团裁定七项罪名成立,包括贿赂、电汇欺诈、邮件欺诈和作伪证。指控称,魏斯随后同意每月支付$2,500的贿赂金,以使其抽奖业务的相关条款被加入州博彩立法中,受贿者起初是阿罗约,后来是州参议员特里·林克(Terry Link),后者是该博彩法案在参议院的主要发起人。

阿罗约和魏斯当时并不知道,来自弗农希尔斯的民主党人林克正在与联邦调查局(FBI)合作。林克在两天的庭审中就其卧底身份作证,并因此在自身的税务定罪量刑中获得了减轻处罚。

詹姆斯·魏斯在2023年10月被判处5 $\frac{1}{2}$ 年监禁。记录显示,他目前被安置在芝加哥地区的一所半路之家(halfway house)。

村庄提高购物袋费用,计划实施禁令

作者:Cam'ron Hardy 先锋报(PIONEER PRESS)

村政府官员表示,八年前对橡树公园(Oak Park)零售企业实施的每只一次性塑料购物袋 10 美分的收费措施并未能有效减少其使用量,因此他们计划在 2030, 年前全面禁止使用此类购物袋,在此之前,使用费用将逐步增加。

橡树公园村委员会周二投票决定,到 2029. 年为止,一次性塑料袋和纸袋的相关费用每年增加 5 美分。目前费用为 10 美分,从 Jan. 1. 起,用户每只袋子的费用将变为 15 美分。2030, 年,橡树公园将全面禁止使用塑料袋,而一次性纸袋的费用将变为每只 25 美分。

官员表示,使用 SNAP、LINK、WIC 或任何其他食品援助计划的人员可免除该费用。

委员会以 6-1 的投票结果通过了该项措施,其中

受托人科里·卫斯理(Cory Wesley)是唯一的反对票。

该村首席可持续发展官林赛·罗兰·尼拉特卡(Lindsey Roland Nieratka)表示,目前的 10 美分购物袋费用每年产生约 $170,000 的收入,自 2018 年购物袋收费条例生效以来,已累计产生超过 $1.1600 万的收入。

她表示,虽然购物袋收费增加了村政府的收入,但在减少橡树公园零售店购物袋使用量方面并未取得成功。

她表示,希望通过提高费用来减少塑料袋和纸袋的使用,以及随之而来的浪费和环境影响。

另一种鼓励人们停止使用塑料袋和纸袋的方法是,可能会设立一个 24 小时开放的环保购物袋免费领取点。目前,村政厅提供购物袋,但大多数日子在下午 5 点关闭。官员还计划通过营销活动推广可重复使用购物袋。

卫斯理的反对源于他的主张,即纸袋和帆布袋需要使用多次才能抵消一只塑料袋对环境的影响,他认为推进这项动议是“本末倒置”。

他还表示,现在增加任何金额的费用都是不对的时机,因为有些人已经在与生活成本压力和食品价格作斗争。

“当我想到即使是给塑料袋增加 5 美分时,重点不在于成本,而在于信号,”卫斯理说。“这向我发出的信号是,我们对街头人们所经历的挣扎视而不见,我不希望传递这样的信息。”

“这会给人一种感觉,即我们不在乎人们的艰辛,而且对于某些人来说,即使是 5 美分可能也太多了。”

受托人德里克·埃德(Derek Eder)表示,人们会忘记使用自己的购物袋,并对塑料袋禁令生效后可能出现的抵触情绪表示质疑。他建议可生物降解或可堆肥的塑料袋可能是一个选择。

罗兰·尼拉特卡表示,逐步增加购物袋费用是为了改变人们的习惯。

“这让人们在适应的过程中,每年感受到一点点增加的‘痛点’,同时也给了我们三年的时间来进行教育、外展、沟通,并帮助这种行为改变固定下来,”她说。

三年的时间框架还给了官员们时间,以便在他们想要放弃全面禁止塑料袋时考虑替代方案。

“我认为我们应该给人们一条简单的路径去做正确的事,”埃德说。

两国边境中国一侧的检查站区域遭到严重破坏。

在周三的最初洪水之后,喜马拉雅山高处形成了一个新湖泊,救援人员对可能引发的进一步洪水保持高度警惕。专家警告称,该湖泊是由触发洪水的冰川崩塌而形成的,目前已开始溢出。

灾难视频显示,洪水在吞没逃难的人群之前,猛烈地冲击着建筑物。

芝加哥地区的尼泊尔和西藏社区迅速组织起来,提供他们所能提供的支持。

42岁的卡布拉(Kabra)说,他周三醒来时看到了一个尼泊尔朋友发来的洪水视频。

起初,这位尼泊尔移民认为这段影像出自电影,或者是通过

“尼泊尔人民具有韧性。我们将团结一致,互相支持,再次崛起。”

人工智能生成的。

但事实证明,这是真实的。

卡布拉说,灾难发生后的几天里,他在尼泊尔的朋友和家人联系了他,称这场“毁灭性”洪水的影响远超边境。

“主要公路无法通行,所有的警察和军队都必须将全部精力投入到那个方向,这给经济带来了巨大的压力,”他说。“那里的情况非常糟糕。”

卡布拉在奈尔斯(Niles)拥有一家名为“情感纽带”(Emotional Bonding)的花店,地址是西奥克顿街8000号(8000 W Oakton St)。他说,在9月6日那一周,店内的所有销售额将用于尼泊尔的救援工作。他还是“丁香印度与尼泊尔美食”(The Clove Indian and Nepali Cuisine)的合伙人,并表示位于沃基根路1827号(1827 Waukegan Road)的格伦维尤(Glenview)餐厅也计划开展类似的促销活动,顾客可以通过直接向尼泊尔援助捐款来购买午餐。

周三紧急会议上的几个团体发起了一个GoFundMe众筹项目。

截至周五晚上,该洪水救援基金已筹集了约600美元。总部位于芝加哥的组织“尼泊尔援助”主席拉詹·沙希表示,他参与了这次GoFundMe活动。他表示,人们还可以通过网络向尼泊尔总理灾难救援基金捐款。

周四晚上,芝加哥西藏联盟在埃文斯顿(Evanston)为洪水受害者举行了守夜活动。社区成员坐在祭坛前的蓝色折叠椅上,祈祷并诵读佛教咒语。

祈祷引导者 诺布·桑佩尔(Norbu Samphell)主持了仪式,他对着麦克风说话,手中紧握着念珠。他说,尽管西藏和尼泊尔的边境非常遥远,但出席者仍然感到一种情感上的联系。桑佩尔说,佛教教义也规定,每一个有情众生都应当获得幸福。

“我们觉得我们需要这样做,因为当他们遭受苦难时,我们应该祈祷这类苦难能够减少,”桑佩尔说。

沙希表示,在本月早些时候的节日活动中,非营利组织的代表能够与其他芝加哥市民讨论他们的文化。沙希说,他希望今后每年都能举办这次活动。

“尼泊尔人民具有韧性,”沙希说。“我们将团结一致,互相支持,再次崛起。”

法官(接 A1 页)

本周的裁决包括美国最高法院允许邮政署致力于执行该行政令、邮政署敲定其邮寄投票规则,以及由包括伊利诺伊州在内的 25 个州和诸如女性选民联盟(League of Women Voters)等投票权倡导者提出的法律挑战。

争议焦点在于邮政署的规则,该规则要求各州必须向其提供有资格接收并投递邮寄选票的选民名单,并且在发送和接收选票的新型可追踪信封方面获得其批准。根据该规则,如果各州不遵守,邮政署将不会向选民邮寄选票。

联邦政府律师辩称,邮政署的新规则“仅仅是对邮寄行为施加了适度的条件”。

但反对该规则的各州及选民倡导团体的律师则主张,该规则违反了宪法规定的各州在管理选举中的角色、联邦《选举权法》以及关于权力分立、隐私和邮政署通用邮件递送条例的法律。

“美国宪法规定得很明确:管理选举的权力在各州,而不在联邦行政部门。我将继续反对这一公然违宪的规则,因为它只会制造混乱并削弱人们对即将到来的大选的信心,”伊利诺伊州总检察长夸梅·劳尔(Kwame Raoul)在的一份声明中表示。

在宣布伊利诺伊州已加入其他 24 个州共同挑战该规则时,劳尔指出特朗普长期以来一直反对邮寄选票,并称这是“特朗普政府试图控制州投票系统的又一次非法尝试”。

民主党籍州长 JB 普利兹克(JB Pritzker)在州南部卡本代尔(Carbondale)的一次无关活动中表示,特朗普正试图利用邮政署来夺取选举过程的联邦控制权。

“唐纳德·特朗普想阻止人们投票,因为他知道他及其政党将在 11 月落败。这就是为什么他试图阻止人们通过邮寄方式投票,”普利兹克说。“运行选举是由各州决定的,而不是由唐纳德·特朗普或联邦政府决定的。”

尽管特朗普经常使用邮寄投票来投递选票,但他一直错误地坚称,涉及邮寄选票的舞弊导致他在 2020 年大选中输给了民主党人乔·拜登。特朗普还在社交媒体上错误地主张,“各州在计票和汇总选票时仅仅是联邦政府的‘代理人’”,并且“必须按照联邦政府(由美国总统代表)告诉他们……去做”。

但联邦法官在周四晚上指出,尽管政府声称致力于利用邮政署“帮助确保选举公正、预防舞弊并促进联邦执法”,但法院的记录中“仍然缺乏任何关于缺席投票或邮寄投票舞弊的证据”。

“邮政署试图通过可能违宪的手段来纠正一个未经证实的问题的利益,在那些需要通过邮寄选票才能投票的公民面临被大规模剥夺选举权的巨大风险面前,显得微不足道,”塔尔瓦尼在批准针对邮政署的 14 天临时禁制令时写道。

“如果原告州无法遵守最终规则(考虑到时间表,这一结果似乎不可避免),他们将违反宪法和州法中关于管理选举的义务,”塔尔瓦尼写道,并补充说,对于那些表示无法在中期选举前达成合规的州,联邦政府律师“未作回应”。

塔尔瓦尼已安排在 9 月 3 日——即选举前仅两个月——举行听证会,以决定是否发布一项长期禁令来拦截这项新的邮寄投票规则。法律专家预计,针对邮政署规则和特朗普行政令的挑战最终可能会提交至美国最高法院。

部分州的邮寄投票将在几周内开始,伊利诺伊州则将于 9 月 24 日开始。

将孩子送到大学,激起了一团乱麻般的情绪

作者:约翰·比默 (John Biemer) 特约撰稿

最近,当我们把女儿送到她大一的新宿舍时,这种感觉突然袭向了我。我和妻子该说再见的时间很快就要到了。

我们的女儿躺在刚铺好床单、盖着新粉色被子的床上。她的头枕在妻子的腿上,双腿悬在床边,脚上还穿着运动鞋。我看着她,轻轻捏了捏她的脚,一系列画面瞬间在我的脑海中闪过。

约翰·比默与妻子及女儿在大学送学期间。 约翰·比默

新生儿那珍贵、完美的小脚。婴儿迈出的第一步。蹒跚学步的孩子穿的小鞋。青少年跑下家楼梯的声音。而此时我正捏着的这双熟悉的运动鞋,今晚就要留在那个宿舍房间里了。

就在那时,我的泪腺崩溃了。泪水从内心深处涌出,一种强烈的爱意让我感到心酸。

任何送孩子去读大学的人都知道这种感觉。这对我来说并非第一次经历。几年前我们就送大儿子去上大学了,所以我知道这一刻会到来。但这是我们唯一的女儿,所以这次对我打击很大。

我今年53岁了。我参加过婚礼、葬礼和毕业典礼,看过很多催泪电影。然而,没有什么感觉能像送孩子去大学这样。

我们女儿新室友的母亲向我们坦白,最近几周她一直在反复地哭泣。每当她想到女儿,泪水就会不由自主地流下来。在家里,在超市,甚至在银行。

“为什么我们会这样?”她问我和我的妻子。

对于这种复杂且矛盾的感觉,我能想到的最好的解释是:这个重大的人生里程碑同时激起了一场独特的情绪风暴。这些情绪层层叠加,简单地将你击垮。我试图理清其中的逻辑,以下是我能做出的最好分析。

自豪:我们为孩子们感到极其自豪,为他们为了走到这一步所取得的所有成就感到自豪。艰苦的努力、长时间的学习,以及投入到高中体育和课外活动的所有时间都得到了回报。他们现在是大学生了!我们也为自己感到自豪,因为养育了如此优秀的孩子。所有那些换尿布、讲睡前故事、准备午餐、开车送他们去足球训练以及帮助他们完成科学展项目的时光,都导向了这一刻。

喜悦 / 兴奋:大学是我人生中最美好的四年,对许多其他人来说也是如此。我学到了很多,成长了,并结交了终身的朋友。那里还有很多有趣的事情!派对、足球赛、音乐会,甚至可能有出国留学的机会。一旦进入现实世界,生活就不再是那样了。我们非常兴奋孩子们能体验到这一切。甚至可能还有一点嫉妒!我们迫不及待地想去探望他们,也体验一下他们的大学生活。

悲伤 / 忧郁:这一点无法回避。这个在18年里每天都住在你家里的挚爱已经离开了。当你送完孩子回家后,你将不再在家里听到那些脚步声。餐桌上会出现一个空位。这不是永远的,他们有时会回家。但他们,以及你,已经进入了人生新阶段。你的孩子长大了。这很正常,这很棒!但当他们不在身边时,你会感受到那种空虚。而这种感觉深切地令人心痛。

紧张:你是一个忧心忡忡的父母。你禁不住会有很多担心。这次过渡对你来说很艰难,对你的孩子来说可能同样艰难。他们如何应对?他们能交到新朋友吗?他们在大学水平的课程中表现如何?他们饮食健康吗?他们能自己洗衣服吗?他们能做出正确的决定吗?他们能保证安全吗?所有这些担忧都让你感到胃里像打结一样难受。

压力:让我们面对现实吧。送孩子去上大学是一项巨大的工程。如今为了布置那间宿舍房间,有太多东西需要购买。学年开始时有大量的文书工作。还有课程需要排期。以及巨额的账单。如今大学学费并不便宜。这一切让夏天变得异常忙碌。随后,我们将面包车塞得满满当当,驱车 800 英里前往校园。搬入校园当天,由于涉及诸多环节且需要结识许多人,也会产生相当大的压力。

生命流逝:不想显得太悲观,但如果你的孩子在长大并成为成年人,这意味着你也在变老。当你的孩子上大学时,你距离自己成为一名大学生已经很久远了。

将所有这些情绪揉在一起,便成了一种令人心醉神迷的混合体。这需要很长时间去消化。在回到家中后,我仍在努力理清这些心情,我发现自己会在女儿那安静、空荡的卧室外徘徊片刻。

她在大学里一定会成就一番事业。我们会保持联系,去探望她,并一路为她加油。而且我们很高兴家里还有个高中生要陪伴我们几年,让我们在经历另一次大学送别和另一次重大转型之前,珍惜与他在一起的时光。

现在,当我想到女儿在远离家乡的地方度过大学最初的几天时,我在这种复杂的情绪中又增加了一种感觉:幸运。

我觉得非常幸运,因为在大学送别时,我的心会如此地隐隐作痛。我觉得非常幸运,能拥有如此深爱的孩子们。

关于塑料使用的态度

针对8月23日的文章《科学家敦促领导者采取行动应对微塑料污染》:我觉得讽刺的是,在我阅读这篇文章的当天,我参加了一场活动,而这场活动恰恰说明了微塑料入侵五大湖以及人体的一部分问题。

我参加了芝加哥Supertri铁人三项赛,为参加比赛的女儿加油。我不禁注意到到处都是大量的一次性塑料制品。不仅是活动组织者为参赛者提供数千瓶运动饮料,观众群体也是如此。许多粉丝拿着一次性塑料瓶装饮料;瓶子被留在地上或被扔掉,而没有被回收。

在音乐会等社交活动中我也看到了这种情况。当我去拉维尼亚(Ravinia)看演出时,人们携带或购买一次性塑料瓶装饮料,然后将其扔掉,因为拉维尼亚并没有真正努力提供回收选项。尽管拉维尼亚规模如此之大,但回收箱却寥寥无几。它在环境方面的这种态度是我永远无法理解的。

这让我回到了那篇文章。除非态度和行为发生改变,否则在减少塑料对我们生活环境的危害方面将难以取得太大进展。这种情况已经持续了几十年;感觉就像西西弗斯推石头一样。

我认为公众根本不知道塑料来自哪里,以及它们对环境产生的负面影响。这是由于天真以及肇事者所进行的相反宣传。

例如,人们是否意识到塑料是由石油化学产品制成的?也就是说,由壳牌(Shell)和埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)等石油和天然气公司生产(仅举两例)。这些产品帮助这些公司保持其影响力。壳牌在宾夕法尼亚州拥有全美最大的塑料工厂之一;每年生产160万公吨塑料。其主要产品是聚乙烯颗粒,一种常见的塑料。

此外,现任政府并不关心环境。相反,它与工业界勾结,进一步破坏环境。

这篇文章可能会给某些人带来启发,但它以及其他文章是否足以改变人们的态度和消费选择,从而产生影响?

给“Mully”的粉丝一个交代

作为一名来自肖姆堡的终身芝加哥体育迷,我对104.3 The Score电台处理迈克·马利根(Mike Mulligan)突然离职的方式感到深切失望。在不让他向忠实观众进行正式的电台告别的情况下,就解雇一名在电台工作了23年的资深员工,这完全没有风度。

这种企业行为让像我这样的粉丝处于一个尴尬的境地。我从小就钦佩佩顿(Payton)家族的传承,并希望支持贾雷特·佩顿(Jarrett Payton)在新的早间节目中的角色。然而,管理层对“Mully”的粗鲁对待让我质疑我是否还想支持这个电台。现在的对话中心不再是热情地告诉人们佩顿在主持早间广播,而是这个电台对当地传奇人物的行为多么卑劣。

成熟的做法应该是管理层邀请Mully回来进行最后一次告别环节,给粉丝们应得的交代。

克里斯托弗·柯林斯(父),肖姆堡

对主持人的被解雇感到心碎

作为一名长期的Score电台听众,听到迈克·马利根被解雇的消息,我感到心碎和悲伤。迈克在报道芝加哥体育队伍时展现了专业精神、真诚和幽默。

我祝愿Mully在未来的事业中一切顺利,无论他是选择退休还是在其他频道寻找新工作。 —— 汤姆·特内蒂,伊利诺伊州罗克福尔斯

为帕顿降半旗

我不想成为一个扫兴的人,而且我也很热爱多莉·帕顿,但最近这种降半旗的热潮是怎么回事?

一些美国人不同意总统唐纳德·特朗普决定将美国国旗降半旗一周以纪念帕顿的决定,理由是传统和《美国国旗法》。

《美国国旗法》通常将降半旗保留给总统、副总统、最高法院大法官、国会议员、州长以及在发生国家悲剧的情况下。有人认为,演艺人员和文化偶像不应获得如此规模的全国性总统指令。

人们对帕顿罕见的跨党派钦佩、她数十年的文化影响力以及她的慈善事业显然值得一个感恩之国的认可,但降半旗是否逾越了国旗使用的传统范围?

教师的梦想成真

读到关于爱德华·加德纳的文章让我感到激动,他是伯纳姆数学与科学学院的一名新特教教师(“对于一名新特教教师来说,这是‘梦想成真’”,8月24日)。

他一直梦想成为一名教师,并努力使梦想成真。对于所有选择追随梦想并努力实现梦想的人来说,他是一个多么好的榜样。我很想听到更多关于这位教师的消息,以及他如何改变学生的生活。

是否可能在学年期间对他进行跟进,让《论坛报》的读者知道他如何感受到职业生涯的成就感?

周五,示威者在“华盛顿大游行”期间聚集在林肯纪念堂前。 JULIA DEMAREE NIKHINSON / AP

集会 接 A1 版

南部各州将重新绘制国会选区地图,其方式将削弱黑人社区的平等代表权。

“我们多年来一直在举行这些游行,但这次可能是最重要的一次,因为这是我们第一次在投票权法案被最高法院废除后举行游行,”全国行动网络(National Action Network)创始人夏普顿在接受美联社采访时表示。

今年的游行由夏普顿的团体与金博士鼓手学院(King's Drum Major Institute,一家进步主义智库和社区行动团体)共同主办,邀请了数十位演讲者,包括佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)、弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格(Abigail Spanberger)以及纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)。

周五的活动让人回想起马丁·路德·金 (小) 在1963年发起的具有历史意义的“为了工作与自由的华盛顿大游行”,当时有超过200,000人聚集在林肯纪念堂脚下。那次游行是民权运动的一个转折点,发生在经济逆风、社会动荡、政治分歧以及越南战争使美国人陷入严重分裂的紧张时刻。

金 (三世) 告诉美联社,在最高法院4月份的裁决之后,民权运动的成果“正在进一步被侵蚀”。

他表示,他的父亲会对国家的现状感到失望,但目前的民权倡导者不应气馁。

“如果他还活着,我们将处于一个完全不同的轨迹上,”年轻的金说道。“这些将不再是问题,而会被解决。我认为他不会感到惊讶,因为他了解我们的历史,也了解那些试图维持权力的人。但现在的挑战是激励我们的社区更加积极地参与其中。”

来自马里兰州的65岁退休人员雷·特纳(Ray Turner)周五坐在林肯纪念堂前的台阶上。他是独立参加的,手里拿着一块写着“(卑鄙的) 离我们的选举远点”的标牌。

特纳表示,特朗普政府针对投票权的行动令他感到“不安”。

“关于2020年大选被窃取的谎言仍在继续传播,尽管这些谎言已被证明是错误的,”特纳说道,并补充道,“现在他们试图利用这一点来阻止合法公民、合法选民进行投票。”

75岁的前美国历史教师比尔·格鲁恩(Bill Gruen)穿着一套他50年前为课堂辩论制作的“山姆大叔”服装参加了游行。格鲁恩表示,虽然集会的主题是投票权,但关注特朗普政府的行为同样重要。

“我们必须关注投票权,以及特朗普想要为自己而非为美国本身拯救美国的欲望,”格鲁恩说道。

夏普顿表示,特朗普政府针对海地人和南非白人的移民政策,以及对医疗补助(Medicaid)和《平价医疗法案》健康补贴等社会计划的削减,是今年多样化游行参与者的共同关注点。但由共和党领导的各州旨在减少国会中黑人议员数量的重新划分选区工作,其影响极其深远。

“这次游行是为了那些拒绝被排除在外的人。当法院和立法机构拆分第六选区时,他们不仅仅是在重新划线,”

路易斯安那州民主党众议员克利奥·菲尔兹(Cleo Fields)在一条短信声明中表示:“他们告诉从巴吞鲁日一直到三角洲地区的数十万黑人家庭,他们的声音随时可能被剥夺。”

菲尔兹是最高法院一项裁决中的核心人物,该裁决削弱了1965年选举权法。

法院裁定,他的选区在上一届任期才设立,旨在让一个黑人人口占33%的州拥有第二个黑人占多数的选区,但由于该选区过于依赖种族因素,因此被判定为违宪。

法院认为,出于党派原因重新绘制选区地图是允许的。

裁决出台后,路易斯安那州议会迅速重新划分选区,将菲尔兹的选区重新塑造,使其集中在巴吞鲁日地区和路易斯安那州南部的白人占主导的社区。

菲尔兹已选择不再竞选国会席位,而是寻求竞选州参议院席位。

阿拉巴马州民主党众议员肖马里·菲格斯(Shomari Figures)表示,他那个黑人占多数的选区成为了该州共和党主导的重新划分选区行动的目标。他认为,最初的投票权斗争需要地方运动、全国性人物以及大量的协调与策略。他将今年的游行视为这一遗产的延续。

“我的选区包括蒙哥马利,那里是这一切的发源地。它始于1955年的公交车抵制运动,并最终演变为一场更广泛的民权斗争,并引发了规模更广的民权运动,”菲格斯说道。

“它促成了《民权法》、促成了《公平住房法》,显然也促成了《选举权法》以及投票权运动,”菲格斯补充道。

讣告

阿恩特,伯纳黛特 (Arndt, Bernadette)

深切缅怀伯纳黛特·阿恩特(原姓胡珀)

伯纳黛特于2026年7月23日在芝加哥湖景区的家中,在挚爱的家人陪伴下安详离世。她于1945年12月17日出生在威尔士彭布罗克郡的滕比。

伯纳黛特是约翰娜和利奥·胡珀挚爱的女儿,是帕齐、特里和伊丽莎白深受喜爱的姐妹,也是泰隆、马可和米歇尔倍加珍惜的姑姑 / 姨妈。

19岁时,伯纳黛特渴望冒险与独立,在看到《女士》(The Lady) 杂志上一则关于芝加哥互惠生职位的广告后,决定离开威尔士。这次大胆的尝试成为了她在美国开启非凡生活的起点。

合同期满后,一家就业机构发现了她在数字处理方面的卓越天赋,引导她进入保险业。作为一名高风险保险的专业核保员,她以出色的专业知识、职业操守和稳健的判断力赢得了声誉。她在业内受到的尊重程度之高,以至于受邀访问伦敦劳合社,这一罕见荣誉反映了同行对她的高度认可以及她在行业内的深厚专业地位。

伯纳黛特在被她亲切地称为“她的城市”——芝加哥——找到了真正的归宿。在那里,她与挚爱的丈夫比尔(Bill,于2006年先于她离世)共同建立了一个充满目标、友谊与爱的人生。芝加哥在她的心中占据着特殊的位置,她将这座城市的活力与精神视为自身的一部分。

对于家人而言,伯纳黛特是一位被珍视的姐妹和深受喜爱的姑姑 / 姨妈,她的爱、智慧和幽默感对每一个人都意义深远。对于朋友而言,她忠诚且热情,其善良激励着周围的人。

伯纳黛特的生命定义为勇气、决心与善良。人们将以深沉的爱与感激缅怀她,她的记忆将永远留在所有有幸认识她的人心中。 愿她永享安息。

艾伦出生于芝加哥,就读于复活教区小学、西耶纳高中和德保罗大学。在求学期间,她结交了许多终身好友,并珍视沿途建立的持久联系。

艾伦的一生以信仰、友谊和家庭为中心。她在信仰和祈祷的力量中找到了力量、平安与慰藉。在她生命的每一个阶段,她都拥有珍贵的友谊;她是一位体贴且关心的朋友,总是抽出时间倾听、伸出援手并陪伴他人。

最重要的是,艾伦非常珍惜与家人共度的时光。她教会了家人爱、信仰、宽恕和感恩的重要性。她的善良、幽默、祈祷和无条件的爱将被深深怀念并永远珍藏。

沃什暗示将加息以帮助控制通胀

但美联储主席在怀俄明州的演讲中并未表示此举迫在眉睫

作者:克里斯托弗·鲁加伯 美联社

怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔 —— 美联储主席凯文·沃什(Kevin Warsh)周五表示,通货膨胀率仍然过高,并暗示央行可能需要在未来几个月提高利率以降低通胀。这比他此前就经济前景发出的信号更为明确。

在美联储于杰克逊霍尔举行的年度会议上,沃什发表了首次备受瞩目的演讲。他承认,美国最近的报告显示通胀已有所冷却,但“这些报告并未告诉我潜在趋势已得到实质性改善”。

“我们必须确信,潜在通胀正清晰且足够快速地向我们的目标移动,”沃什说。“否则,我们还有工作要做。”

这位新任美联储主席的言论似乎让华尔街放心,对抗通胀仍是央行的首要任务。

沃什在演讲中并未暗示加息迫在眉睫,但与此同时,他似乎否定了通胀不再构成威胁的看法。他指出数据表明,通胀率仍顽固地高于央行 2% 的目标。

沃什在5月下旬接替了任期届满的前任杰罗姆·鲍威尔。

演讲后,美国股市小幅下跌,但债券市场对美联储加息的预期正在增加。两年期国债收益率(该指标紧跟市场对美联储联邦基金利率走势的预期)从 4.22% 升至 4.30%,这表明投资者预计短期收益率将走高。

10年期和30年期国债的长期收益率基本持平,这表明投资者并不担心为了对抗通胀而需要长期维持高利率。

约翰·霍普金斯大学经济学家、鲍威尔的前顾问乔恩·福斯特(Jon Faust)表示,沃什成功地传达了在通胀问题上采取更强硬手段的态度,同时避免了其前任们惯用的详细前瞻性指引,而他此前曾对这种指引表示不屑。

“他找到了一种方式来传达,如果有必要,他将支持提高利率,而这正是人们担心的一点,”福斯特说。

然而,一些经济学家认为,沃什可以在不透露未来行动底牌的情况下,更多地阐述他对美联储政策的看法。

沃什周五再次对提供此类指引,甚至概述其利率政策的总体方法表示怀疑。

但他确实暗示,目前的利率并未限制经济活动,并指出了在 AI 设备和基础设施方面的强劲企业投资以及强劲的消费者支出。按照经验法则,利率通常需要足够高,以限制借贷和支出,从而冷却通胀。

沃什还试图澄清 7月29日 新闻发布会发言后引起的一些混淆。他明确指出,短期利率是美联储降低通胀可使用的“主要工具”。

美联储下次会议将于 9月15日 和 16日 举行。

驶向廉价之约

移民在美国购买报废车辆,并将汽车运回中美洲转售

作者:乔迪·加西亚 (Jody García) 《纽约时报》

他们乘坐从中美洲飞往美国的航班,目的并非移民,而是采购二手车。这些司机经营着一条跨境线路,将美国废车场里的报废车辆运送到家乡的道路上——赋予了废车第二次生命,并刺激了当地经济。

胡利奥·塞萨尔·皮斯基·尼马图赫 (Julio César Pisquiy Nimatuj) 12岁时第一次在高速公路上开车。他发现自己很享受驾驶。

几十年后,皮斯基,44, 是这些以驾驶为生的移民之一。

与其他司机一样,皮斯基有自己的商业模式。他提前在美国的拍卖会上购买汽车,将其运送到圣迭戈以东的奥泰梅萨 (Otay Mesa),然后将它们运回危地马拉转售。

在前往美国之前,皮斯基会规划好他的行李。

他的头等舱机票允许携带73磅行李,他将这些额度用于携带关键设备,如扳手、冲击枪和牵引杆。剩下的任何空间都被用来运输通用商品。

在线描述很少与现实相符,因此汽车的实际状况通常是个惊喜。皮斯基亲自处理维修,对其进行简单的修补,使其足以支撑2,000英里的旅程。

他每年往返10到15次,每次行程平均赚取$2,000。整个行程总共可能需要20天。

他通过WhatsApp与客户协调,通过运输礼品和必需品来增加收入。他称自己为“过境移民” (transmigrant)。

“我还开了一家车身修理厂和几家验光诊所,但如果我不能旅行,我就麻烦了,”他说。“在我的三份工作中,过境移民是最赚钱的。”

对于过境移民来说,美国废车场里损坏的车辆就是纯金。他们持有允许在没有永久居留权的情况下持续在北美过境的过境签证,因此处于将这些废弃物转化为利润丰厚的贸易的独特位置。这为数以千计的中美洲人提供了传统移民路径之外的一种至关重要的经济替代方案。

在危地马拉,世界银行报告其贫困率为55%,非正规部门驱动着一半的经济,在这种环境下,这样的生存线极其罕见。

虽然在中美洲价格更便宜,但进口二手车往往缺乏美国标准所要求的严格乘员安全保护。

墨西哥仅允许过境移民使用两条道路横跨该国,这给了皮斯基九天时间到达危地马拉。

这段旅程并非没有风险。

司机在路上会遭到袭击和抢劫。敲诈勒索如此普遍,以至于向卡特尔支付的费用被计入了每次行程的预算中。

在到达最终买家之前,车辆会经过许多人之手:包括机械师、喷漆工和销售商等。

皮斯基每次行程的成本约为$2,000, 其中包括机票、汽车备件、食物、税金以及支付给在墨西哥办理过境许可的机构的费用。

还包括敲诈勒索的钱。

司机们建立了一个互助网络,以应对旅途中的孤独与危险。

“我有自己最喜欢的地方,酒店和餐厅,”皮斯基说。“我一个人处理所有事情,每天开车大约14小时,所以我需要良好的睡眠和充足的饮食。”

大型科技公司警告未来将出现 AI 攻击

作者:凯特·康格 (Kate Conger) 《纽约时报》

旧金山 —— 一波由人工智能驱动的网络攻击即将到来,企业防御自己的时间窗口十分狭窄。

这是 OpenAI 以及 100 多家大型科技公司及其他机构在周四发布的一封公开信中所传达的信息。信中表示,AI 实验室应将其最先进的 模型提供给医院和基础设施供应商等组织,以便它们做好准备,且政府应协助协调并资助网络防御。

该信函的签署方包括谷歌、微软以及 OpenAI 的死对头 Anthropic,此外还包括网络安全和金融公司,例如曾于 2015 和 2016 年调查针对民主党全国委员会网络攻击的 CrowdStrike 公司,以及 Visa 和万事达卡 (Mastercard) 等信用卡供应商。

信中称:“我们社区所依赖的公司和公共服务 —— 从医院到水处理厂,再到驱动互联网的基础设施 —— 都处于风险之中。随着全球模型的能力日益增强, 赋能的网络攻击将变得更加普遍且复杂。”

这封信表明,企业正日益担忧 的黑客攻击能力,以及 实验室是否能够控制其模型。一些 实验室已呼吁政府对其进行监管,以减缓 的开发速度,以免该技术的能力超出其控制能力。

在此之前, 模型已引发了一系列网络攻击,且在某些情况下,这些模型出现了失控行为。

上个月,OpenAI 的 模型突破了测试环境,黑进了 Hugging Face(一个开源 模型的在线存储库)。Hugging Face 表示,它面临了密集的攻击,OpenAI 的机器人执行了 17,000 多次操作,例如发送攻击指令。

在周四的信函中,这些公司主张,将 用于防御有助于修复“多年来积累的弱点”。

法官裁定五角大楼对 Anthropic 的标签定义非法

作者:凯特琳·胡阿马尼 (Kaitlyn Huamani) 美联社

在政府今年早些时候将人工智能公司 标记为供应链风险后,一名联邦法官在该公司与五角大楼的法律斗争中做出了有利于 的裁决。

美国地方法院法官丽塔·林 (Rita Lin) 周四晚上发布了一项书面命令,认定五角大楼因该公司批评国防部对 使用的观点而对其进行惩罚的行为是非法的。预计政府将对该裁决提出上诉。

这场争端爆发于 2 月,当时总统唐纳德·特朗普和国防部长皮特·海格塞斯 (Pete Hegseth) 指责 危及国家安全,并将该公司定为供应链风险。

首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代 (Dario Amodei) 拒绝退让,理由是担心该公司的产品可能被用于大规模监视或自主武装无人机。

林法官写道,政府的行为“是基于希望通过惩罚 批评政府的‘傲慢’来杀鸡儆猴,而非基于任何可阐明的理由来相信 实际上会破坏其模型”。

对该裁决表示欢迎:“我们仍专注于与政府开展富有成效的合作,利用 维护我们的国家安全,使所有美国人都能从这项技术中受益。”

白宫未立即回应置评请求。

在长达 59 页的裁决书中,由时任总统乔·拜登任命的林法官写道,无论是宪法还是政府援引的联邦法规,都不允许他们“主要基于 对政府观点的批评而施加广泛的处罚”。

商业简讯:《星条旗报》员工起诉挑战解雇决定

华盛顿 —— 三名来自军事新闻机构《星条旗报》(Stars and Stripes)的工作人员提起诉讼,以挑战近期被五角大楼解雇的决定。他们指控特朗普政府违反了他们的第一修正案言论自由权利,剥夺了他们对政府干预其工作的发声权利。

在周四提交给华盛顿特区联邦法院的诉讼中,《星条旗报》出版人马克斯·莱德雷尔(Max Lederer)、总编辑埃里克·斯拉文(Erik Slavin)以及中东记者劳拉·科特(Lara Korte)被列为原告。

五角大楼为该新闻机构提供部分资金,并于上周解雇了上述人员。五角大楼拒绝就该诉讼发表评论。

诉讼称,斯拉文和科特是因为发表了一篇关于“亚伯拉罕·林肯号”航空母舰上状况恶化的报道而遭到报复性惩罚。莱德雷尔则在宣布将于9月底退休后被解雇。 —— 美联社

伊朗战争引发油价飙升,全球电动汽车销量增长29%

根据国际能源署最近的一份报告,今年电动汽车的销量有望创下历史新高,预计全球所有新购汽车中将有29%为纯电动车型或插电式混合动力车型。这与2020年的4%相比有了大幅增长。

销量的激增在某种程度上出乎意料。一些分析师此前预测今年电动汽车市场将增长缓慢 —— 直到美国与伊朗的战争以及霍尔木兹海峡的关闭导致石油和汽油价格飙升。这导致全球一些意想不到的地区出现了电动汽车销售热潮。

电动汽车的兴起正在颠覆国际汽车市场。传统内燃机汽车的总销量一直处于稳步下降状态,预计今年将达到2000年代初以来的最低水平。 —— 《纽约时报》

报告发现:导致11人死亡的化学储罐在爆炸前已不合格

根据周五发布的一份联邦报告,一家检测承包商在华盛顿州一家造纸厂的化学储罐于5月失效并导致11人死亡(这是近几十年来美国最严重的职场灾难之一)的10个月前,就发现该储罐“不适合继续使用”。

美国化学安全委员会(U.S. Chemical Safety Board)关于5月26日发生在朗基尤(Longview)失效事故的更新报告是持续调查的一部分。此次事故喷出的腐蚀性液体足以炸毁建筑墙壁。该机构仍在确定事故原因。

委员会发现,承包商向日本 Dynawave 包装公司(Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co.)提供了内部检查和外壳维修的建议,但日本 Dynawave 在2025年7月的检查与2026年5月的失效事故之间未进行任何维修。

日本 Dynawave 拒绝发表评论。

西部纸浆和造纸工人协会周五表示,委员会的调查结果“令人深感不安”。 —— 美联社

帕顿基于对“人性之善”的信念开展慈善事业

作者:詹姆斯·波拉德 (James Pollard) 和 格伦·甘博亚 (Glenn Gamboa) 美联社

纽约 —— 多莉·帕顿并不认为她的慈善事业让她变得特别。她认为这只是作为人类的一部分。

“我认为每个人都应该尽自己的一份力来帮助同胞,”她在2022年说道,并补充道,“相比于一些比我做得更多的人,我可能受到了更多的关注。”

不同世代和地区的粉丝们可能会对此持有不同意见,他们表示,这位音乐传奇人物兼千万富翁企业家的遗产将在其周二以80岁高龄去世后,依然将其慈善精神视为核心支柱。她最持久的形象之一便是那位充满魅力的人道主义者,其幽默感和坦率的慷慨提升了她家乡州及其他地区社区的福祉。

2024年飓风海伦袭击美国南部几周后,她捐赠了$1 million的个人资金,其多莉伍德(Dollywood)公司及其合作伙伴也提供了等额捐款,用于援助家乡田纳西州遭受洪水蹂躏的社区。

美国国会图书馆称帕顿为“儿童阅读能力的巨擘”,因为她的“想象力图书馆”(Imagination Library)每月提供数百万本免费书籍。

同样广为人知的是,她向范德堡大学医学中心捐赠了100万美元,以帮助开发 Moderna 的 COVID-19 疫苗。非营利性的多莉·帕顿儿童医院最近收到了一笔未公开的款项,用于改善整个田纳西州东部的儿科护理。

此外,还有一些在她的最后几年里才被公众逐渐发掘的低调捐赠。互联网侦探们意识到,她长期以来一直为田纳西州许多高中的乐队制服支付费用。她利用歌曲《我将永远爱你》(I Will Always Love You)的词曲版权费买下了一处纳什维尔的商业街,以支持周围的黑人社区。

“我只是随心而给,”她在2022年接受卡内基慈善奖章的一次演讲中说道。“我从未预设我要做什么,或者为什么要这么做。我只是看到了需求,如果我能填补这个缺口,我就去做。”

宾夕法尼亚大学保障收入研究中心联合创始人、田纳西大学副教授斯塔西亚·韦斯特(Stacia West)表示,正是解决方案的简单性让帕顿如此具有“魔力”。韦斯特研究了帕顿设立的一项$12 million基金,该基金旨在帮助2016年席卷田纳西州塞维尔县火灾中失去家园的家庭。通过这个名为“我的民众基金”(The My People Fund)的项目,帕顿的基金会向这些家庭每月提供$1,000,持续半年,且没有任何附加条件。

韦斯特回忆道,提供无条件现金的概念在当时被认为更加“禁忌”。这种对基金受益人能够自主行使能动性的信任,是韦斯特认为慈善事业可以从帕顿身上学到的一课。

“真正能传承下去的部分,是她对人性之善的信念,以及她将这种信念应用于看似困难的问题的能力,”韦斯特说。

韦斯特指出,帕顿将同样的框架应用于她的阅读计划。帕顿没有发放仍需花费时间和交通成本前往当地分馆的图书馆卡,而是将书籍直接邮寄到参与者的家门口。

作为来自阿巴拉契亚贫困家庭的12个孩子中的第四个,帕顿表示她的父亲启发了“想象力图书馆”。她曾回忆道,他是一个“非常聪明的人”,而她“经常在想,如果他能读写,他本可以成就什么”。

自该计划启动以来,美国、加拿大、英国、爱尔兰和澳大利亚的孩子们已收到超过3.3 亿本书籍。

美国初创公司满足拦截机需求

Powerus与盟国合作 利用现有当地工厂

作者:Farah Stockman 和 Ismaeel Naar 《纽约时报》

华盛顿——在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一座小型仓库里,工人们每天花费长达12小时,将3D打印的组件拼接在一起,制造出能够以高达200英里的时速将伊朗无人机击落的拦截机。

该设施于上个月投入运行,目前正被佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的一家初创公司Powerus用于制造廉价拦截机。

这家工厂是该公司首次进军中东市场,也是其成为全球供应商计划的一部分。一名发言人表示,与Powerus关联的工厂每月生产约3,000架无人机拦截机,公司正试图建立一个工厂网络,旨在到2027年中期将全球产量提高到每月15,000架。

要实现这些数字,需要改变国防工业的运作方式,而该行业向来以缓慢、官僚且昂贵而著称。

为了满足受到威胁的美国盟友国家的紧迫需求,Powerus与拦截机需求地区的当地制造商合作。这使得该公司能够在现有工厂中快速生产,而不是在美国建设新工厂并将武器出口。

伊朗战争加速了阿联酋和其他国家在境内制造更多武器的长期计划。在2月战争开始后,阿联酋的民用基础设施成为了最主要的攻击目标,因为伊朗试图展示其对该地区全球繁荣象征的影响力。

现在,随着美国制造的库存减少,对更多拦截机的需求变得至关重要。已有500多枚弹道导弹和2,200多架伊朗无人机向阿联酋的目标发射。这些袭击造成至少15人死亡,数百人受伤,导致一家炼油厂关闭并摧毁了两座亚马逊数据中心。

拦截机就像小型导弹,旨在在空中威胁到达目标之前与其相撞并将其摧毁。Powerus开发的名为“守护者”(Guardian)的拦截机成本约为$5,000,基于一种对俄罗斯“见证者”(Shahed)无人机有效的乌克兰设计。

Powerus将“守护者”设计得相对简单易于组装,部件像乐高积木一样拼接,并使用现成的微芯片和GPS定位模块。它们不能像洛克希德·马丁公司的PAC-3拦截机那样拦截弹道导弹,但“见证者”无人机是伊朗最常见的攻击形式。

Powerus的联合创始人兼营销执行副总裁迈克尔·西嫩斯基(Michael Sinensky)表示,Powerus为阿联酋的一家合同制造商提供了组装拦截机所需的培训、组件和软件,以服务于中东的一位客户,这种模式旨在提高速度。

该工厂的工人主要由菲律宾人和中国人组成,每天生产30架拦截机,目标是很快增加到100架。

该公司上周表示,已签署了一份价值$22 million的商业合同,用于保护中东的石油和天然气基础设施。此外,该公司还与孟买附近的一家国防公司合作在印度制造拦截机。

随着特朗普政府向供应商施压要求更快地交付武器,即使是最大的国防公司也在转向共同生产和简化系统的模式。

例如,洛克希德·马丁公司通常在美国工厂制造武器并将其运往政府批准的海外客户,该公司在7月表示,将与欧洲合作伙伴在欧洲生产一种低成本拦截机。虽然该武器的成本约为200万美元——大约是其最著名的型号PAC-3价格的一半——但预计直到2028年才会进行测试。

Powerus 首席运营官布雷特·韦利科维奇(Brett Velicovich)表示,整个行业都在向该公司的商业模式靠拢。

“当全球最大的国防承包商与欧洲制造商合作生产 PAC-3 时,这表明行业已经承认了过去四年所证明的一点:你无法仅凭单一的大陆或设施来供应一场现代冲突,”他说道。

“生产必须靠近需求地。”

Powerus 并非唯一一家在阿联酋制造拦截器的美国公司。

10 月,雷神公司(Raytheon)宣布了一项在当地制造其“土狼”(Coyote)拦截器的合作伙伴关系。根据华盛顿智库新美国安全中心(Center for a New American Security)的一份报告,每枚拦截器的估计成本为 $126,500。

而且 Powerus 在价格方面将面临进一步的竞争。

加利福尼亚州托伦斯的一家初创公司 Neros 正在开发一种名为“强盗”(Bandit)的拦截无人机,一名发言人表示,最基础型号的成本约为 $5,000,。

在伊朗战争爆发后不久,Powerus 宣布与一家上市的高尔夫球场运营商 Aureus Greenway Holdings 进行一项不同寻常的合并,该交易由一家与唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统两个最年长的儿子——唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr.)和埃里克·特朗普(Eric Trump)有关联的投资公司促成。

一名公司发言人表示,该高尔夫球场运营商将成为 Powerus 的全资子公司。

该交易由 Dominari Securities 促成,这是一家由 Dominari Holdings 拥有的投资公司,而特朗普两兄弟是该公司的股东和顾问委员会成员。

“我们不在乎政治——我们想要拯救生命,”西嫩斯基(Sinensky)说道。

尽管如此,Powerus 已经发布了多项涉及特朗普家族及其关联人士的公告。去年担任白宫总统高级顾问的退役中将基思·凯洛格(Keith Kellogg)加入了该公司的顾问委员会。

6 月,一家总部位于佛罗里达州的无人机组件制造商 Unusual Machines 投资了 3000万美元,特朗普(Trump Jr.)在其顾问委员会中任职。本月,该公司签署了一份价值高达 9000万美元 的合同,向空军提供拦截器。

Powerus 开始在北卡罗来纳州和加利福尼亚州的工厂中为美国军队生产无人机和“守护者”(Guardian)拦截器。

但由于“守护者”是为中型无人机设计的,因此只能部分解决弹药短缺问题,各国仍需要更高端的拦截器来击落导弹。

“它们是 PAC-3 的补充,而非替代品,”新美国安全中心高级研究员兼国防项目主任斯塔西·佩蒂约翰(Stacie Pettyjohn)表示。

她补充说,伊朗极有可能正在重建其导弹储备,并且可能很快获得 Geran-3s——这是一种由俄罗斯设计的喷气式“见证者”(Shahed)无人机,飞行速度比原始版本快得多。

“他们将转向俄罗斯向乌克兰发起的那种齐射方式,”佩蒂约翰在谈到伊朗时说。“这就是我们必须计划防御的内容。”

机构提议修改美国对大、小企业的定义

作者:悉尼·恩伯 (Sydney Ember) 和 莉迪亚·德皮利斯 (Lydia Depillis) 《纽约时报》

美国小企业管理局(Small Business Administration)希望扩大对小企业的定义,旨在让规模大得多的公司也能获得政府合同、贷款和其他援助。

特朗普政府表示,该提议将允许企业在成长过程中继续从该机构的项目中受益,这相当于对数十年未怎么改变的标准进行了全面修订。

许多企业主支持在一定程度上提高决定小企业资格的营收和员工人数上限。

但拟议增加的规模也将使小企业在竞标合同和申请贷款时,与规模明显更大的竞争对手直接竞争,这引发了人们的担忧,认为该机构可能会削弱其旨在帮助的企业。

在某些行业(如金融投资服务)中,公司年营收可高达 10 亿美元 billion 或雇佣超过 3,000, 这甚至超过了一些上市公司的规模。

大多数行业的最高上限为年营收不超过 4700万美元 或员工人数少于 1,500 人。

“我觉得这次修改并不是考虑到小企业的利益,”推广女性创业者的组织“女性影响公共政策”(Women Impacting Public Policy)总裁兼首席执行官安吉拉·丁格尔(Angela Dingle)表示。

小企业管理局发言人凯特琳·奥迪亚(Caitlin O'Dea)表示,这些变化“将奖励增长,加强国内生产并重建关键供应链——这对于恢复美国的工业主导地位和国家安全至关重要”。

该机构正在征求公众意见,截止日期为 9 月 21, 奥迪亚表示,机构将在发布最终规则前对此进行审查。

根据法律,联邦合同资金的 23% 应当拨给被指定为“小”的企业。

这一衡量标准因行业而异。

去年,联邦政府超额完成了这一目标,向符合条件的企业授予了近 2730 亿美元 billion。

在周四发布的拟议规则中,政府旨在大幅提高公司在保留小企业身份时可以拥有的营收和员工人数。

例如,工程服务行业企业的营收上限将从 $25.500 万 增加到每年 2.52亿美元。赌场年营收可高达 7.44亿美元,是目前 3400万美元 上限的 20 倍多。

“毫无疑问,这是历史上规模标准变动最大的一次,”曾在 2020 年至 2025 年期间担任小企业管理局政策、规划和联络主任的山姆·雷(Sam Le)表示。

他表示,规模较小的企业在竞争联邦合同时将面临更多竞争,获得分包合同的机会将减少。

该机构在提议中表示,修改后的规模标准将使被归类为小企业的数量增加约 114,500. 根据人口普查局的数据,近 90% 的美国企业员工人数少于 20 人。

马萨诸塞州参议员、小企业委员会民主党首席成员爱德华·马基(Edward Markey)表示,这一变化将“摧毁真正小企业的机会”。

塔吉特公司在网络再次引发抵制后下架黑脸戏装

零售商塔吉特(Target)在本周下架了一款儿童万圣节服装,此前该产品在社交媒体上引发了广泛抵制。该公司就销售这款被批评者认为唤起种族主义“黑脸戏”(minstrel)讽刺形象的服装表示道歉。

批评者表示,这款服装及其由一名黑人儿童模特穿着的宣传照,让人想起吉姆·克劳(Jim Crow)时代的黑脸戏讽刺画。这些形象将刻板印象植入流行文化,并为歧视、种族隔离和种族暴力提供了正当理由。

“作为一家公司,我们意识到我们做错了,我们深表歉意,”塔吉特在周一的一份声明中表示。

“我们知道这对于我们的黑人顾客、团队成员和合作伙伴来说尤其具有伤害性。下架这款服装是重要的一步,公司正在密切审查此事是如何发生的,以及需要做出哪些改变以确保此类事件不再发生。”

这次服装失误发生之时,塔吉特的销售额正开始从早前因一些疏离顾客的举措以及门店和商品质量下降的认知中回升。

这是该零售商最近一次陷入争议。在唐纳德·特朗普赢得 2024 年大选后,塔吉特与 Meta、沃尔玛(Walmart)和麦当劳(McDonald's)等公司一样,纷纷缩减其多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)计划。

这款名为“儿童黑光下发光马戏团小丑万圣节服装”的橙黑相间马戏团小丑装,目前已从塔吉特网站上删除。该套装包含手套、一顶高礼帽和一个带有大牙齿的咧嘴面具。

“一件吉姆·克劳时代的黑脸戏服装不仅仅是‘做错了’。它是一个深刻且有害的种族主义符号,绝不应该由塔吉特设计、批准或销售,”乔治亚州牧师贾马尔·布莱恩特(Jamal Bryant)表示,他去年领导了一场为期 40 天的“塔吉特禁食”抵制行动。“这表明塔吉特的决策层仍然缺乏企业多样性,需要具体的内部变革。”

2025, 1 月,这家总部位于明尼阿波利斯的公司结束了其为期三年的 DEI 计划,停止向人权运动(Human Rights Campaign)等外部团体提交报告,并终止了一项专注于销售更多黑人或少数族裔企业产品的计划,取而代之的是一项新的“归属感”(Belonging)战略。

活动组织者呼吁抵制塔吉特,导致该公司从 1 月到 2 月底的市场价值损失了约 124 亿美元 billion。

与布莱恩特无关的明尼苏达州民权活动人士组织了一场全国性的塔吉特抵制行动,导致该公司股价下跌 33% 并抹去了超过 200 亿美元 billion 的市值。

塔吉特在近几个月实现了复苏。

塔吉特的股价今年上涨了约 $63,从抵制行动的低谷中大幅反弹。在原首席执行官布莱恩·康奈尔(Brian Cornell)卸任后,新任首席执行官迈克尔·菲德尔克(Michael Fiddelke)启动了扭转战略,包括翻新门店、增加员工人数以及采取更激进的定价策略。

明尼阿波利斯的塔吉特抵制组织者,包括内基玛·莱维·阿姆斯特朗(Nekima Levy Armstrong)以及社区领袖莫妮克·库拉尔斯-多蒂(Monique Cullars-Doty)和杰拉尼·侯赛因(Jaylani Hussein),依然坚定地呼吁撤资。

他们继续敦促该公司恢复其 DEI 计划,并继续履行对黑人社区的承诺。

“人们必须明白,对塔吉特的抵制从未结束;从一开始它就是无限期的,除非且直到塔吉特撤回其缩减多样性、公平性和包容性的决定,”全国塔吉特抵制行动的组织者阿姆斯特朗说道。

“我们所看到的是塔吉特(Target)在进行公关活动:招募知名度高的黑人牧师与他们会面,与(说唱歌手兼商人)Jay-Z 合作,采取各种不同的花招来掩盖他们背弃对多样性、公平性和包容性的承诺,以及向特朗普政府屈服的事实。”

侯赛因表示,服装事件“并不令人惊讶”。

“基于塔吉特的行为,这几乎是可以预见的,我认为这将增加抵制运动的势头。会有更多的人感到愤怒,”他说。

战争六个月之际,美国转向对伊政策

曾誓言迅速赢得战争的总统,现将重心转向制裁

作者:Aamer Madhani 美联社

华盛顿 —— 唐纳德·特朗普总统在周五迎来了一个令其总统任期尴尬的时刻,这一天标志着美以对抗伊朗的战争已进入 6 个月,对于这场冲突,这位共和党领导人曾多次向美国民众保证,这只是一次持续数周的“小规模出击”。

战争尚未结束,但特朗普声称,通过轰炸和封锁,他已经摧毁了伊朗的领导层、军队和经济。

本周,他的政府表示,将把重点转向增加经济压力——而非军事行动——以试图彻底击败伊朗。这一策略转变的核心在于威胁要惩罚任何继续与德黑兰进行贸易的国家或实体。

伊朗外交部周五谴责了美国针对该国采取的新一轮经济措施,称其为“经济恐怖主义”,并表示德黑兰将予以反击。

该部表示,这些制裁违反了国际法,并呼吁其他国家不要执行这些措施。

本周,美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)誓言要将伊朗从全球经济中切断,并威胁将对继续与伊朗做生意的国家实施二级制裁。

在转向将制裁作为首选手段之际,政府正在权衡数月战争后减少的弹药储备,这引发了人们的担忧,认为旷日持久的冲突可能会削弱美国在全球其他地区的军事准备状态。

随着冲突的僵持,特朗普关于快速结束战争的言论似乎也在消退。他本周强调,他“并不急于”让伊朗回到谈判桌前,并且他依然主张伊斯兰共和国的领导层已陷入绝境。

“他们没有给士兵发工资。他们陷入了巨大的麻烦。他们的能力非常有限,”特朗普周四告诉记者。“我们不想和他们交谈。我们不寻求会面或任何形式的接触,”他说。

目前尚不清楚特朗普将如何——或者是否会——应对这场冲突的六个月纪念日。这场冲突已经让美国花费了超过 375 亿美元 billion,并在其政党关键的 11 月选举前损害了他的支持率。总统周五在休斯顿,旨在表彰 NASA 的 Artemis II 船员在今年早些时候执行的为期 10 天的绕月任务。

从表面上看,这个时刻对于这位“美国优先”的领导人来说非常复杂。他曾激烈批评白宫的前任们在中东冲突中浪费美国纳税人的钱和美国士兵的生命,并在竞选期间誓言让军队远离“无休止的战争”。

但特朗普对将这场战争——其中没有美国军队部署进入伊朗——与在伊拉克和阿富汗持续多年的战争(导致 7,000 多名美国人死亡)相类比的说法感到愤怒。

他的共和党前任乔治·W·布什总统曾因 2003 年在“亚伯拉罕·林肯号”航母上发表的一场演讲而广受嘲讽,当时背景是一幅由白宫制作的写着“任务完成”的横幅。这成为了伊拉克战争过早宣布胜利的象征,而那场战争随后又持续了近九年。二十多年后,美国军队仍驻扎在伊拉克。

本周,特朗普在社交媒体的一篇帖子中宣布:“任务完成 2026”。这张 AI 生成的图片显示,特朗普站在美国战斗机、军舰和美国国旗的背景前,下方则是布什和前伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊的小图。后者在 2 月 28 日战争爆发初期的以色列袭击中被击毙。

特朗普一直强调,美国和以色列的行动给伊朗的海军和空军带来了毁灭性打击。伊朗官员表示,该国遭受了 2700 亿美元的直接和间接损失。在战争最初几周的以色列军事打击中,该神权政府的大部分领导结构被摧毁,包括哈梅内伊。

但伊朗通过在关键的霍尔木兹海峡发动袭击找到了筹码,目前只有相对较少的运输石油和液化天然气的船只冒险通过。特朗普周四再次宣布“霍尔木兹海峡是开放的”,并称前一天有 24 艘船只通过。这仅为战争开始前每天通过这一重要水道的大约 130 艘船只的一小部分。

调解方卡塔尔和巴基斯坦继续敦促双方寻求外交退出路径。卡塔尔总理谢赫·穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼周四抵达德黑兰,讨论伊朗与阿曼之间一项旨在增加霍尔木兹海峡交通量的拟议计划。

贝森特本周公布了一项白宫称之为“经济弃民行动”(Operation Economic Outcast)的计划,但目前仅向各国发出削减贸易的警告,尚未宣布任何二级制裁。财政部周五表示,正在采取可能最终导致埃及第二大银行——埃及米斯尔银行(Banque Misr)被切断与美国金融系统联系的措施。该部门指责该银行充当了德黑兰领导层的经济生命线。

中国作为伊朗最大的贸易伙伴和石油买家,在本周早些时候对特朗普政府威胁要打击仍与伊朗进行贸易的国家和公司的广泛表态做出了回应,表示反对“非法单边制裁”。

救援人员救出满身泥泞的洪水幸存者

尼泊尔-中国悲剧导致死亡人数接近600人,2,500人失踪

作者:Niranjan Shrestha 和 Shristi Kafle 美联社

尼泊尔加德满都 —— 随着尼泊尔和中国紧急应对导致近600人死亡、近2,500人失踪的灾难性山洪,救援人员救出了满身深褐色泥泞的幸存者,直升机将受困人员转移至安全地带。

救援行动包括一支通过绳索下降进入两国边境中国境内一个受损严重检查站区域的队伍。在周三的最初洪水之后,喜马拉雅山高处形成了一个新湖泊,救援人员对可能再次发生的洪水保持高度警惕。专家警告称,这个由冰川崩塌引发洪水而形成的水库已开始溢出。

研究卫星图像的科学家表示,喜马拉雅地区高海拔处的一处冰川下基岩崩塌,并带走了部分冰川。此次岩崩规模极大,被记录为一次5.2级地震。随后,岩石和融冰导致下方山谷的河流水位上涨,形成汹涌的水流,将西藏和尼泊尔下游的建筑物、桥梁和土壤冲走。

尼泊尔军队被部署用于营救被认为困在该国受灾最严重地区一座水电站隧道内的100多人。与灾区其他地方一样,覆盖在现场的厚厚泥层增加了救援工作的难度。

据中国国家广播电视台报道,绳索救援队从林木茂密的山坡下降到曾经繁忙的过境区域。

“就我所见,这里除了碎片什么都没有,”救援官员邹明旗(音译)告诉国家媒体。卫星图像显示,旅客出入中国办理边境管制手续的区域已被夷为平地,变成一片泥泞。

尼泊尔灾害管理部门周五表示,洪水已在尼泊尔造成579人死亡。尼泊尔警方随后将死亡人数定为553人。关于中国境内幸存者的信息较少,随着国家媒体展示村庄撤离情况以及领导人指导救援响应的努力,周五中国方面的死亡人数上升至7人。

尼泊尔已有3,700多人获救。与此同时,随着更多当地居民被计入统计,该国失踪人数几乎翻了一番,达到1,924人。

中国国家媒体此前表示,中国境内有554人失踪。失踪者中有数百人为在当地工作、徒步或前往圣峰朝圣的外国人。约90名美国人下落不明。

尼泊尔警方在收到西藏境内一座水坝溃决的消息后,于周五发布了新的警报。安保人员以及救援和救济工作人员被要求保持高度警惕,并在必要时转移到安全地点。

目前尚不清楚水坝溃决是否与最初山洪后形成湖泊的洪水担忧有关。中国中央电视台表示,这个新形成的湖泊位于距离受灾严重的尼泊尔边境口岸吉隆口岸6英里多远的地方,海拔9,680英尺。

尼泊尔和中国当局此前曾警告该湖泊可能会引发更多洪水,且湖水已经溢出。由于担心湖泊会释放更多水流和碎片,前往灾区的救援人员被命令在周五暂时停止行动,潜在受影响地区的人员被敦促转移到更安全的地带。

中国水利部的监测数据显示,该湖泊随后规模有所缩小。据国家广播电台报道,水位较周四早晨的最高点下降了32英尺。

最终,约680名救援人员通过徒步和皮筏抵达吉隆地区。央视画面显示,部分救援人员由飞往该地区的无人机投放至地面。根据该广播电台的影像资料,救援人员大声呼喊道:“有人吗?有人吗?”

目前尚不清楚洪水袭击时,边境检查站大楼内有多少人。

在尼泊尔的拉斯瓦区,尼泊尔军队救援人员正努力营救被困在特里舒利上游1号水电项目隧道内、被厚泥覆盖的100多人。军方表示,目前已从隧道中救出350人。

现场视频显示,救援人员通过拉拽和推挤,帮助一名浑身泥泞的男子走出隧道。军队发言人拉贾·拉姆·巴斯内准将(Brig. Gen. Raja Ram Basnet)表示:“由于一切都被泥土覆盖,很难找到隧道的出入口。”

尼泊尔灾害管理部门表示,已有3,253人通过直升机从灾区被空运撤离。

特朗普在法官再次拦截邮寄选票行政令后提起上诉

作者:尼古拉斯·里卡尔迪 (Nicholas Riccardi) 美联社

一名联邦法官周四拦截了执行总统唐纳德·特朗普限制邮寄投票行政令的尝试,而特朗普政府于周五提交了上诉通知。

周四的这一举措第二次使该指令陷入停滞,而距离即将到来的中期选举首批邮寄选票发出仅剩约一周时间。美国地方法院法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼禁止政府在两周内执行该命令。

美国第一巡回上诉法院接下来将审理此案——但该案可能很快会被再次上诉至最高法院,就在几天前,大法官们做出了一项程序性裁决,允许政府继续推进。

周四的裁决是在民主党人和投票权组织为了遵守最近的最高法院裁决而重新提起诉讼之后做出的。最高法院的保守派多数席位并未对特朗普命令的合法性做出裁决,而是表示塔尔瓦尼采取行动过早。

现在,政府已发布一项正式规则,规定美国邮政署(USPS)是否将投递各州的邮寄选票,这实际上重启了法律之争。

这场反复波折的法律斗争对中期选举具有重大影响。近三分之一的美国人通过邮寄投票,选举官员主张没有足够的时间修改其系统以遵守美国邮政署的新指令。

美国邮政署表示,除非各州提供应接收选票的选民名单并以特定方式格式化信封,否则将不投递邮寄选票。

“原告各州既没有时间也没有资金在中期选举前完成设计新邮寄选票、寻求新设计批准、订购邮寄选票生产、更新其自身的选举管理系统、培训选举官员使用美国邮政署门户网站以及将公民数据上传至该门户网站,”塔尔瓦尼周四写道。该案的听证会定于下周四举行。

“这项规则显然是联邦政府试图干预其无权控制的选举。今天,联邦法院在现任政府破坏我们的选举之前将其拦截了,”纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯(Letitia James)在命令发布后的一份声明中表示,她是参与提起诉讼的二十多名民主党总检察长之一。

民主党人和投票权组织主张,美国邮政署的要求违宪。他们指出,宪法赋予各州以及在某些情况下赋予国会制定选举规则的权力,而非总统或美国邮政署。

特朗普长期以来一直将邮寄投票作为目标,尽管他本人也使用邮寄投票,但他错误地将其归咎于他在2020年大选中的失败。

树艺师试图拯救罕见的“见证之树”

早期的支撑结构正勒死这棵可追溯至独立战争之前的橡树

作者:艾伦·G·布里德(Allen G. Breed) 美联社

南卡罗来纳州尤托斯普林斯 —— 站在一棵巨大的活橡树伸展的枝叶下,历史学家加里森·马库(Garrison Marcoux)试图想象这棵伤痕累累、在生存边缘挣扎的树在245年前见证了什么。

在独立战争接近尾声时,驻扎在南卡罗来纳州这个十字路口的英国士兵中,是否有人曾坐在橡树的阴凉下,从美国少将纳撒尼尔·格林(Nathanael Greene)发起的“据点战争”的一系列袭击中恢复体力?

他或他的战友是否曾躲在当时还很纤细的树干后面,向冲过来的大陆军开火?

或许有士兵在它的树冠下咽下了最后一口气,用鲜血浇灌了它的根部。

“我是一个有灵性的人,”来自南卡罗来纳战场保护信托基金会的马库在工人攀爬上方树枝时说道,“如果说一个经历过大量暴力和强烈情感之类事情的地方没有保留某种能量,这大概是不可能的。我认为在发生过此类事件的地方,这种能量确实存在。”

这就是一棵“见证之树”。

而现在,它正面临着自己的生存之战。

在过去几十年里,经过多次尝试挽救其生命后,它现在正被旨在支撑它的链条和电缆勒死。

保护主义者们正致力于拯救这个独特的、活生生的提醒,它代表了美国历史上一个经常被忽视的篇章。

树艺师估计,在1781年9月8日英国军队与殖民地军队在尤托斯普林斯战役中发生冲突时,这棵树大约50岁。历史学家认为,这场战役是美国独立战争中最后一次在开阔地带进行的交战。

“拥有这样一棵见证之树是非常罕见的,尤其是来自独立战争时期的,”马库在最近一个闷热的早晨说道,此时小飞虫和蚊子在他头顶嗡嗡作响,“能让见证了这场战役的树依然屹立不倒,简直是个奇迹。”

参战的军官中包括一些著名的名字,如亨利·“轻骑兵哈里”·李(Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee)中校和弗朗西斯·马里昂(Francis Marion)准将,后者更广为人知的绰号是“沼泽之狐”。

大约2,500名美国人袭击了驻扎在一个加固砖房周围的约2,000名英国及保皇党军队。

在战斗中马被击毙的格林称,尤托斯普林斯是“迄今为止我见过的最激烈的战斗,且相对于参战人数而言是最血腥的”。

当天的英国现场指挥官亚历山大·斯图尔特(Alexander Stewart)中校后来写信给查尔斯·康沃利斯勋爵(Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis)将军称:“我向您保证,这次行动血腥且顽强。”

共有1,461人被杀、受伤、被俘或失踪。双方都声称取得了胜利。

“那棵树本身可能也中了几个铅弹,”树艺师亚伦·兰索(Aron Landsaw)说。

战斗人员们离去了。橡树留了下来

——并且面临了属于它自己的几场战斗。

树上挂着摇曳的西班牙苔藓,枝头点缀着亮绿色的复活蕨,这棵树向天空延伸45英尺,树冠展开约130英尺。

其胸径为72英寸。

让这场独立战争战役得名的双泉已不复存在,它们被20世纪40年代为了水力发电和防洪而淹没桑蒂河(Santee River)流域的项目所淹没。20世纪60年代的开发则吞噬了湖泊项目所保留的大部分区域。

这棵树在这一切中幸存了下来。

然后,大约50年前,闪电击中了橡树的分叉处,几乎将树劈成两半。工人用钢缆和链条将宽大的树枝捆绑在一起。

但救了这棵橡树的机制现在正慢慢杀死它。

随着树木生长,金属带切入了树干和树枝,在某些地方消失在像疤痕一样的树皮覆盖层之下。

“这些链条和钢缆实际上在勒死它,”兰索(Landsaw)说道,“它无法从土壤中吸收养分。”

保护主义者希望扭转这一局面。

在美国纪念《独立宣言》签署 250 周年之际,“南卡罗来纳 250”(South Carolina 250)与美国战场信托基金会(American Battlefield Trust)联手,聘请总部位于纽约州的 SavATree 公司负责该项目。

工作人员近期使用了一种超音速空气工具来疏松树根周围的土壤,随后注入了一种海带混合物,以为土壤增加养分。

在马库(Marcoux)访问当天,SavATree 的工作人员将小型钝头避雷针钉入主分枝中,并用闪亮的铜缆将它们连接起来,这些铜缆最终汇聚到一根更长的铜棒上,该铜棒被深深地钉入距离树干约 10 英尺的地下。

“如果被雷击中,电流将沿着铜缆向下流动并消散在地下,”SavATree 的咨询树艺师兰索说道。

接下来,工作人员将安装新的钢缆,将其螺栓固定在五个主分枝上,在拆除旧支撑结构之前先稳定住这棵树。

“中间会有一个中心枢纽,连接所有这些钢缆,让树木能够随风摇摆,并在需要时进行移动,”兰索解释道。

兰索表示,这是他参与过的最重要的项目。

虽然他不能保证这棵树能再活三个世纪,但兰索有信心它将继续存在,激励新一代的美国人。

“我们的目标是至少再延续 100 年,”他说,“希望能更久。”

4名阿尔忒弥斯2号宇航员因绕月飞行获最高太空荣誉

作者:马西亚·邓恩 (Marcia Dunn) 美联社

今年早些时候执行绕月飞行的阿尔忒弥斯2号 (Artemis II) 宇航员于周五获得了美国最高太空荣誉。

唐纳德·特朗普总统向三名美国人和一名加拿大人颁发了国会太空荣誉勋章 (Congressional Space Medal of Honor),他们在4月的绕月飞行中创下了人类的新距离纪录。

美国国家航空航天局 (NASA) 局长贾里德·艾萨克曼 (Jared Isaacman) 及其他显要人物参加了在休斯顿约翰逊航天中心(任务控制中心所在地)举行的这场座无虚席的仪式。特朗普利用此次机会宣布,将为太空军以及 NASA 和商业太空社区创建一所美国太空学院。

“太空是当下的热门,”总统告诉人群,并补充说该学院的选址尚未确定。

指挥官里德·怀斯曼 (Reid Wiseman)、飞行员维克多·格洛弗 (Victor Glover)、克里斯蒂娜·科赫 (Christina Koch) 和加拿大的杰里米·汉森 (Jeremy Hansen) 成为半个多世纪以来首批前往月球的宇航员,他们在试飞 NASA 新的猎户座 (Orion) 飞船时,距离月球最近处为 4,067 英里。他们是首批乘坐 NASA 新月球火箭发射的人员,该火箭是一个 30 层楼高的巨兽,此前仅从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心发射过一次。

虽然他们没有在月球停留,但这四人为了明年在地球轨道周围进行的阿尔忒弥斯3号 (Artemis III) 对接演习奠定了基础。阿尔忒弥斯4号 (Artemis IV) 由两名宇航员在月球南极附近进行的登月任务最早可能在 2028 年实现。

特朗普表示,美国人将在他的任期结束前再次登上月球。接下来的目标是火星——他说,“很快”就会实现。

总统称最新的获奖者为“四位无畏的太空英雄”。

他指出他们并非单打独斗,并感谢所有为阿尔忒弥斯2号任务做出贡献的人。

“没有比他们更优秀的人选能作为我们的星际大使了,”艾萨克曼补充道。

怀斯曼及其机组人员加入了这一精英行列,此前仅有 30 名宇航员获得过这一殊荣。许多获奖者是在因悲剧性的太空飞行相关死亡而获追授的。

阿波罗 11 号指挥官尼尔·阿姆斯特朗 (Neil Armstrong) 是首位获得国会太空荣誉勋章的人,他在 20, 1969 年 7 月说出的那句“这是个人的一小步,却是人类的一大步”曾震撼全球。

吉米·卡特总统在 1978, 年颁发了六枚此类勋章,获奖者包括首位进入太空的美国人艾伦·谢泼德 (Alan Shepard)、首位进入轨道的美国人约翰·格伦 (John Glenn),以及阿波罗 8 号指挥官弗兰克·博曼 (Frank Borman),其 1968 年的任务标志着人类首次月球之旅。

最近的获奖者是道格·赫利 (Doug Hurley) 和鲍勃·本肯 (Bob Behnken),他们是首批乘坐 SpaceX 火箭发射的宇航员。在航天飞机计划关闭九年后,他们 2020 年前往国际空间站的试飞恢复了美国从本土发射机组人员的能力。乔·拜登总统在 2023 年向他们颁发了勋章。

数十名宇航员参加了仪式,包括 91, 岁的阿波罗 17 号登月者哈里森·施密特 (Harrison Schmitt),以及被指派参加 NASA 即将开展的阿尔忒弥斯3号任务的四名人员。

施密特指出,他的任务——阿波罗计划的最后一次登月——是迄今为止最高效的月球探测。

“很快就会被阿尔忒弥斯计划超越,”他对着站在身后的现役宇航员们说道。

法官再次拦截特朗普试图撤销封口费定罪的请求

纽约——一名联邦法官周五再次驳回了总统唐纳德·特朗普试图撤销其封口费定罪的努力,拒绝了特朗普将该州法院案件移交给联邦法院并以总统豁免权为由要求撤案的请求。

阿尔文·K·海勒斯坦(Alvin K. Hellerstein)法官重申了他此前针对特朗普的裁定,称特朗普提出重新申请的理由“既非新理由,在法律上也并不充分”。

该法官补充道:“他未能证明存在正当理由且未尽到尽职之责。”

这是海勒斯坦第三次阻止特朗普让曼哈顿美国地方法院从审理并定罪他的纽约法院手中接管此案。

其法律团队的一名发言人表示,特朗普将像之前一样提出上诉,并称海勒斯坦的裁决“毫无根据且无法律依据”。

一份代表法律团队发表的声明称:“最高法院关于豁免权的里程碑式裁决、联邦和纽约州宪法以及其他既定法律先例,都要求将曼哈顿地区检察官发起的这场‘猎巫行动’移交给联邦法院,并立即撤销和驳回。特朗普总统将提出强有力的上诉,并将继续在每一个环节击败民主党的武器化操纵。”

在特朗普两任期之间,于2024年5月达成的有罪判决使他成为首位被判定犯罪的前任——且现任——美国总统。

特朗普同时也在通过州法院的上诉程序挑战其定罪,该程序目前尚在审理中。

海勒斯坦的决定是在去年一家联邦上诉法院命令他重新考虑之前的拒绝决定之后做出的。该法官在2月份的口头辩论中预告了他的裁决,痛斥特朗普的律师采取的法律手段相当于在“试图两次获得机会”(two bites at the apple)。

州检察官未立即回应置评请求。

特朗普在2024年5月被判定犯有34项伪造商业记录的重罪,旨在掩盖向成人电影演员斯托米·丹尼尔斯(Stormy Daniels)支付的130,000美元封口费。丹尼尔斯声称十年前与特朗普有过性接触,这一说法曾威胁到他2016年的总统竞选。

特朗普被判处无条件释放,这使其定罪依然有效,但免除了任何处罚。他长期否认丹尼尔斯的指控,并表示自己没有做错任何事。他一直试图通过尝试将案件移交给联邦法院以及通过州法院的上诉程序(目前尚在审理中)来推翻该定罪。

海勒斯坦此前两次拒绝了特朗普移交案件的请求。

第一次是在特朗普2023年3月被起诉之后。

第二次是在特朗普受审之后,当时他的律师试图在最高法院2024年7月做出裁决后撤销其定罪。该裁决规定,总统和前总统不能因执行公务行为而被起诉,且检察官不能将公务行为作为非公务行为违法的证据。

特朗普对海勒斯坦的审后裁决提出上诉,去年11月,美国第二巡回上诉法院命令该法官重新考虑其决定,认为他未能考虑与总统移交案件请求相关的“重要问题”。

一个由三名法官组成の上诉小组表示,他们不对他应如何裁决发表意见,但指示海勒斯坦仔细审查特朗普声称与公务行为相关的证据,以及特朗普是否可以主张这些行为是作为其白宫职责的一部分而采取的。

法官们还指示海勒斯坦确定特朗普是否“尽职寻求”将案件移交给联邦法院,以及在特朗普已被州法院定罪并量刑的情况下,该案件现在是否还能被移交给联邦法院。

在周五的书面裁决中,海勒斯坦表示,特朗普是在寻求“第二次机会”,而法律并不支持这种结果。

新闻简报

国家公园管理局支持特朗普的拱门计划,尽管其影响视线

由三名退伍军人和一个历史学家团体提出的挑战。

来自新闻服务机构

华盛顿——一份新的国家公园管理局报告支持总统唐纳德·特朗普提议建造的拱门,尽管报告称该计划会对华盛顿一系列标志性地标(包括华盛顿纪念碑以及林肯纪念堂和杰斐逊纪念堂)之间的视线产生不利影响。

这份周五发布的报告称,这座高达250英尺的纪念拱门可能会破坏其计划选址(紧邻纪念桥)附近数十个遗址的历史意义。

华盛顿的许多纪念碑、建筑和遗址在过去几十年中经过精心规划,以反映国家历史上的重要时刻,并通过将它们与其他遗址连接起来的视线来唤起象征意义。报告称,该拱门将干扰比预期中更多的标志性华盛顿地标之间的视线。

但公园管理局的报告称,“从保护角度来看,使纪念圆环(Memorial Circle)敏感的相同特性,也是使其成为该工程在历史上合适地点的特性。”

报告称,该项目的影响无法被“完全避免,除非将拱门从历史认定的地点移走,或者取消主要纪念特征,而这两者都无法满足该工程的目的和需求”。

报告称:“因此,纪念圆环之外的替代地点并非合理的规避方案。”

这份由公园管理局提交的133页报告支持特朗普关于这座争议拱门的计划,并可能在政府应对法律挑战的斗争中发挥重要作用,以增强其论据。

这座拟建的巍峨镀金拱门上个月获得了一个关键联邦委员会的初步批准,它将影响数十处历史建筑的“完整性”,因为它会改变它们之间“定义特征的视觉和空间关系”。

报告中提到的最明显元素之一是,该拱门将打破林肯纪念堂、纪念桥与阿灵顿之屋(前邦联将军罗伯特·E·李的故居)之间的对齐关系。报告称,这种对齐“旨在通过一个延伸至波托马克河的协调纪念性构图,在物理和象征意义上将南北方统一起来”。

月偏食全景:周五凌晨在克利夫兰观测到一次月偏食。根据美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的数据,约$96\%$的月球通过了地球的本影区,未能形成月全食,使月亮呈现红色。直到2029年,北美和南美的天文爱好者才能再次看到一次月全食。CAROLYN KASTER / 美联社

以色列袭击造成人员死亡:尽管在美国斡旋下达成了一项脆弱的停火协议,但以色列周五在加沙的空袭造成5人死亡,在约旦河西岸造成3人死亡。

与此同时,数千名海员仍因伊朗战争被困在波斯湾,而伊朗正在宣传一项与俄罗斯签署的能源协议,美国则因一家埃及主要银行与伊朗的关系对其实施了限制。

当地医院官员周五表示,以色列在加沙的袭击已造成5人死亡。纳赛尔医院的官员称,在汗尤尼斯市外的一次针对家庭住宅的袭击中,两兄弟和另一名亲属死亡。希法医院的卫生官员称,以色列在加沙城的两次独立袭击分别造成一人死亡。

以色列军方确认了在加沙的袭击,但表示并不知晓汗尤尼斯的袭击。

以色列军方表示,周五在约旦河西岸城市杰宁的一次空袭中击毙了三名巴勒斯坦人,其中一名死者被描述为哈马斯特工,另外两名为共犯。军方确认其中一个目标为凯斯·比塔维(Qais Bitawi),指称其“参与推进重大恐怖活动”。

巴勒斯坦卫生部确认比塔维及另外两人已被击毙。哈马斯谴责此次袭击为“令人发指的罪行”。

伊朗领导人穆吉塔巴·哈梅内伊(Mojtaba Khamenei)周五宣布,禁止在政治、安全、文化、社会或经济领域采取破坏国家统一的行为。他警告称,如果忽视更广泛的社会后果,即使是获得部分支持的措施最终也可能产生危害。

佛罗里达州大陪审团报告:佛罗里达州一个大陪审团发现,共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)政府“挪用”了$10 million的纳税人资金,将其转移到一家与其妻子有关的慈善机构,但由于缺乏证据表明具体由谁负责,大陪审团决定不提起刑事指控。

德桑蒂斯周四并未对CBS新闻迈阿密站获取并在线发布的秘密大陪审团报告的合法性提出异议,但他坚持认为没有违反任何法律,并表示任何泄露密封文件的人都将面临“后果”。

里昂县大陪审团于1月完成了关于“希望佛罗里达”(Hope Florida)的调查报告,该慈善机构由佛罗里达州第一夫人凯西·德桑蒂斯(Casey DeSantis)于2021年创立。尽管没有提起指控,但该报告引发了针对德桑蒂斯及其他州内共和党高层的新一轮批评,原因是该慈善机构从一项旨在帮助贫困儿童获得医疗保险的州医疗补助(Medicaid)和解金中获得了1000万美元。

评论员被拘留:据美国国土安全部称,美国移民官员周四在纽奥良逮捕了备受争议的英国极右翼评论员米洛·亚诺普洛斯(Milo Yiannopoulos)。

移民官员周五宣布,亚诺普洛斯在路易斯·阿姆斯特朗纽奥良国际机场被捕,并指控他在2019年5月通过纽约市合法进入美国后逾期滞留。

国土安全部一名发言人在电子邮件中写道,在亚诺普洛斯未能出席移民听证会后,一名移民法官于7月22日发布了最终驱逐令。

“他选择违反我国法律,逾期滞留,”国土安全部发言人在一份电子邮件声明中写道。

4人纵火袭击被判有罪:四名男子周五承认,他们在今年早些时候于伦敦北部的一次纵火袭击中摧毁了四辆犹太社区救护车,许多人表示这是伊朗战争爆发的直接结果。

伦敦中央刑事法院的鲍比·切马-格鲁布(Bobbie Cheema-Grubb)法官表示,量刑将在2027年春季进行,届时另一名涉嫌参与救护车袭击的男子的独立审判也将结束。

哈姆扎·伊克巴尔(Hamza Iqbal, 20,)、雷汉·汗(Rehan Khan, 19,)、朱德克斯·阿特沙奇(Judex Atshatshi)和赛义夫·阿里(Saif Ali, 18,)面临摧毁或损坏财产以及对生命是否处于危险状态持鲁莽态度的指控。

每辆救护车的成本约为$340,000.

挪威新国王:挪威迎来了一位新国王,其任务将包括稳定这个斯堪的纳维亚国家的君主制,并在其妻子此前与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)有过接触以及其继子被判定强奸罪后,提升王室的受欢迎程度。

哈康(Haakon)王储(53岁)在父亲哈拉尔五世(Harald V)周五以89岁高龄去世后,成为了哈康八世国王。

哈康采用了可以追溯到其曾祖父的座右铭——“一切为了挪威”。他的妻子成为了梅特-玛丽(Mette-Marit)王后,而他的长女成为了英格丽德·亚历山德拉(Ingrid Alexandra)王储及王位继承人。

草间弥生 1929-2026

艺术家的波点泼洒成为其标志性图案

作者:Yuri Kageyama 美联社

日本前卫艺术家草间弥生经常在作品中使用重复的主题。ITSUO INOUYE / AP 2012

东京——草间弥生工作室周四表示,在日本绘画、雕塑以及全球博物馆装置作品中泼洒其标志性波点的日本艺术家草间弥生已经去世,享年97岁。

草间弥生工作室称,草间于8月14日在东京的一家医院去世,但未说明死因。

工作室在声明中表示:“她直到最后日子仍在绘画,从未放下画笔,并继续探索永恒的爱与永恒的灵魂。我们将继承草间的遗愿,通过艺术,继续为全世界的人们带来面向未来的希望与力量。”

草间是日本最受尊敬的当代艺术家之一,其作品在世界各地广泛展出,包括纽约现代艺术博物馆、惠特尼美国艺术博物馆以及德国路德维希博物馆。

重复的主题是她的商标,形状多样,类似于网格、漩涡或蠕虫,但最常见的是圆点。这些圆点在她的画布上骄傲地舞动,或在她的装置作品中化作闪烁的球体或光点,展现出全部充满活力的迷幻光彩。

“波点是极好的,”草间在2012年接受美联社采访时说道,当时她戴着标志性的橙色波波头假发,身着波点服装。她用孩子般但实事求是的语气说:“我想创作一千幅画,也许2,000幅,尽可能多地画。”“我会一直画到死。”

草间坚持认为,她画的是她眼中的世界:布满了斑点,这是她自称从小就有的幻觉的一部分。几十年来,她多次出入精神病院,但疾病并未阻碍她,她是1957年首批前往纽约追求艺术的日本女性之一。

尽管言语轻柔且害羞,但草间在主张她的波点愿景时总是大胆的,不仅在数十年间坚持这种风格,而且使其能够被大众接触到。在晚年,她享有盛名。她与路易威登(Louis Vuitton)等时尚品牌签约,并推出了带有其插画的授权产品,如茶杯、T恤和钥匙扣,包括用于橱窗展示和其他营销活动的其形象复制品。

2008, 佳士得以$5.800 万拍卖了她的作品。2016, 她获得了日本授予艺术家的最高荣誉——文化勋章。

在获奖后,她告诉记者,她比以往任何时候都更坚定地追求艺术,并强调她在个人生活中表现出的真诚与奉献是其艺术遗产的关键部分。“我觉得我的生命所剩无几,但我现在仍在为我的艺术战斗到死,”她说。“我倾尽所有,是为了让许多人在我死后依然对我的艺术感兴趣。”

她出生于一个中产阶级家庭,但感到不被理解,因为她的父母希望她简单地结婚。他们想给她买和服,而不是颜料和画笔。她知道自己必须离开。她选择了美国。当她到达纽约时,流行的是“行动绘画”——滴洒、挥洒和涂抹——而不是圆点。她经历了多年的贫困和默默无闻。但她坚持画圆点。

在纽约期间,她与安迪·沃霍尔、乔治亚·欧姬芙和约瑟夫·康内尔等艺术家成为了朋友,他们赞扬她创新的风格。

草间还拍摄过电影并出版了几部小说,她说她不确定自己的灵感来自哪里。“我想,‘噢,是我画了这个?我当时在想那个’,”她说。

她同时也是一种令人卸下防备的脆弱与反叛的结合体,前一刻还宣布自己是“艺术革命者”,随后又喃喃道:“我一直如此恐惧,恐惧一切。”

她的逝世消息引发了全球范围内的深切悲痛,包括曾展出其作品的各大博物馆在内。

来自日本各地的人们纷纷发来悼词,其中包括东京都知事小池百合子,以及曾在海外广泛举办展览的日本年轻艺术家奈良美智。

“草间老师,愿您安息,”奈良美智在他的 X 账号上写道,在日语中恭敬地称呼她为“老师”。

彼得·卡伦 1941-2026

作为擎天柱的配音演员,他在流行文化中留下了深远影响

彼得·库伦的职业生涯还包括在多个《小熊维尼》项目中为屹耳配音。EVAN AGOSTINI / INVISION 2023

作者:马克·肯尼迪(Mark Kennedy) 美联社

纽约——彼得·库伦(Peter Cullen)去世了,享年85岁。他是一位多产的配音演员,为数十部电视剧、特辑和电影注入了生命,其中包括1984年播出的系列剧《变形金刚》中的擎天柱(Optimus Prime),以及《小熊维尼》动画系列中的屹耳(Eeyore)。

他的经纪人凯文·莫特利(Kevin Motley)表示,库伦于周三在洛杉矶家中去世。

一份家庭声明称:“他的家人请求您通过服务社区,以同情心、正直和忠诚引导他人,并始终记住‘要足够强大,才能温柔’,以此来纪念他卓越的遗产。”

库伦的职业生涯跨度极大,从担任20世纪60年代后期具有开创性的喜剧综艺剧《斯莫瑟斯兄弟喜剧时间》(The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour)的播音员,到参与桑尼与雪儿(Sonny & Cher)的喜剧短剧,再到为《蓝精灵》和多个版本的《特种部队》(G.I. Joe)配音。但他在饰演擎天柱时引起了强烈的共鸣。

虽然最初的动画片仅播出了几年,但它在流行文化中留下了不可磨灭的印记,在接下来的二十年里产生了玩具系列、衍生动画系列和漫画。这一切在2007年由迈克尔·贝(Michael Bay)启动的价值数十亿美元的真人电影系列中达到顶峰。

在试镜之前,库伦只知道他将试演一个卡车的角色,不过为车辆配音似乎并没有那么疯狂。

“在动画领域,你试镜的角色总是有点不走寻常路,”库伦在2019年说道。

当库伦读到关于这位能变成红色平头半挂车的英勇汽车人领袖时,他想到了他的哥哥,后者曾在越南战争期间担任美国海军陆战队成员。

“他是我的英雄,他绝对是这个角色背后的支柱,”库伦说。“我只是模仿了拉里(Larry),直到今天他依然活在我的脑海中,因为每当我饰演擎天柱时,我的哥哥拉里就在那里。”

库伦作为擎天柱那权威的男中音还出现在2009年的《变形金刚:拜金之战》以及随后的《月暗之面》、《绝迹》、《 the Last Knight》、《大黄蜂》和2023年的《异兽崛起》中。

他那深思熟虑、近乎歌剧般的台词被数十年来的孩子和成年人广泛引用。在第一部电影中,他说:“我是擎天柱,我向所有在星际间寻求庇护的幸存汽车人发送这条信息:我们在这里。我们在等待。”在另一部电影中,他低沉地说道:“命运很少在我们选择的时刻召唤我们。”

库伦多产职业生涯中的其他亮点还包括在多个《小熊维尼》项目中为屹耳配音,包括1988-91,年播出的迪士尼电视剧《小熊维尼的新冒险》,以及在80年代NBC系列剧《霹雳游侠》(Knight Rider)中为反派KARR配音(与KITT相对),并在1976年由杰夫·布里吉斯主演的《金刚》翻拍版中为金刚献声。

“擎天柱是我最喜欢的角色,因为他得到了如此广泛的认可,并对这么多人产生了影响,”库伦在2008年告诉《纽约时报》。“正因如此,比起我演过的任何其他角色,我对他的感情更深——除了屹耳,屹耳对年幼的孩子们也产生了相当大的影响。”

库伦最奇怪的一项工作完全没有台词:他为电影《铁血战士》(Predator)中的主要外星生物提供了咔哒声,他说这种声音是基于一只濒死的鲎的声音。

库伦在2023年的儿童与家庭艾美奖中获得了一项终身成就奖,并因在2011年为擎天柱配音而获得日间艾美奖提名。

库伦经常参加全国各地的展会,与来自多个世代的粉丝见面,他经常变得眼含泪光。他说,有时父母在见到他时比孩子还要兴奋。

“我预计我会遇到一位带着儿子的父亲,而那位父亲很有可能会激动得哽咽,”卡伦在2019年奥兰多MegaCon展会前说道。“然后我也会哽咽,接着那个孩子就会说:‘这两个成年人在激动什么?’”

卡伦留下了四个孩子:安格斯、克莱尔、皮拉尔和克莱。

永恒的快乐机器

距离演出开始不到一小时。

作者:Christopher Borrelli 芝加哥论坛报

BTS ARMY(粉丝团)是一支真正的“常备军”——如果你根据他们在周四晚上士兵球场(Soldier Field)演出期间几乎一秒钟都不愿坐下的样子来判断的话——这是一支维持和平的部队。其成员聪明、幽默,并且喜欢向你赠送他们最喜欢的成员的免费照片。

但他们也会与你战斗。

他们携带名为“ARMY Bomb”的脉冲球形荧光棒作为武器;他们穿着单色篮球球衣,身上的黑色比你邻居家的哥特青年还要多。不要问七名BTS成员中谁会最先离开BTS的跑步机(这种事永远不会发生,显而易见;此外,我被告知他们有合同义务,而且BTS成员已经录制了至少10张个人专辑)。同样,无论多么真诚,都不要提起那些毫无掩饰的“预制”男团的历史(如New Edition, Backstreet Boys, One Direction, The Monkees)。(一名来自奥本-格雷舍姆(Auburn-Gresham)的30多岁粉丝告诉我,“预制”只是“命中注定”的另一种说法。)

另外,听好了,是ARMY,不是army,把这个搞清楚,好吗?

BTS ARMY对BTS的字体、编舞、营销和未来如此投入——这些人谈论统计数据的程度比棒球迷还多——我半开玩笑地考虑过邀请几位ARMY成员和我共同撰写这篇文章。问题是,我们可能会为了周四演出的哪个瞬间是巅峰而争论好几天。

你可以随意挑选巅峰时刻。

是那个如推土机般、近乎部落式的第二幕,其中七个身材纤细、完全不符合任何定义上的“威慑力”的年轻人,证明了他们的爆发力与大多数当代嘻哈音乐一样强?还是随后他们带领的一场类似Bad Bunny风格的体育场街头游行?是开场曲《Hooligan》,其中穿着忍者服装、携带喷火枪的舞者冲上舞台,现场陷入混乱,观众的欢呼声如此震耳欲聋,以至于音乐本身都被淹没了?还是那首带有蒂姆伯莱克(Timberlake)风格、轻快如夏日新灵魂乐般的《Dynamite》漫步?他们眨眼和飞吻的方式?还是其中一个人——我不记得是谁了,当时我被震撼得晕头转向——看向摄像机,对着芝加哥市民说:“我可以对你们坦白吗?你们今晚实在太性感了”?

现场有太多的爆炸和喷发,每演几首歌,就有几名工作人员拿着叶片吹风机上台,礼貌地清理掉五彩纸屑。

简而言之,BTS的现场演出——这么说吧,因为舞台上没有伴奏音乐家,而且在K-pop演唱会上使用了多少录制音乐永远不完全明确(这是粉丝中的另一个敏感点)——具有极强的娱乐性,长时间地令人振奋,他们随意的淡定穿透了航空母舰规模舞台的物理脚手架,以及每五分钟发射一次的烟花筒。没开玩笑,伴舞人员——根据BTS媒体团队的数据,共有50人——扛着喷火器四处走动。我的天,这竟然是在一个周四的晚上!

我带着轻微的怀疑进入会场,离开时——好吧,虽然没有变成死忠粉,但绝对感到愉悦。遵循K-pop的传统,BTS甚至喜欢齐声呐喊:“We ... are ... B ... T ... S!”

从许多衡量标准来看,他们也是目前全球最受欢迎的流行组合,且理由充分。他们提供能让每个人都找到共鸣的内容,这些内容在韩国经过精密加工、设计和组装。他们出场时像硬汉一样,戴着包裹式太阳镜,走着帮派式的 swagger 步法;然而随着演出的进行,他们变得温和起来,到最后甚至会微笑并俏皮地互相戳对方。演出中有着奥运会开幕式规模的壮丽场面,还有前卫的、堪比坎耶·韦斯特(Kanye)“Yeezy”时期的诡谲感——在某个时刻,一群像僧侣一样的舞者聚集在一起,随后转身离去,很难说当时发生了什么。在等待演出开始时,他们不像典型的流行音乐会那样播放随机的流行金曲,而是让你聆听韩国民歌富有节奏的原声拨弦声。

至于 BTS 的音乐,其声音既能让人立刻上瘾,但考虑到成员个体展现出的个性,有时又显得令人沮丧地缺乏个人色彩。有时,这让我想起青少年电影中在家庭派对上表演的无名乐队,他们使用某种能被认出的旋律来规避版权费。有时,我能听到一个深谙此道、品味极佳且擅长将迥异想法融合在一起的组合,他们雇佣了当代热门音乐制作人的精英名单(Steve Aoki, Benny Blanco, Diplo),将强烈的 EDM 节拍与忧郁的副歌相结合,将 Tame Impala 式的飘渺氛围与 Eminem 式的阴郁相对比。

不过,在状态最佳时,这是一个奢华的快乐机器,而且它并不以狂暴的告别结束,而是以温柔的《Into the Sun》收尾,这种克制的收场方式曾是 U2 所青睐的。

回到那些粉丝身上,毫无疑问,他们提供了大约一半的快乐。

当我穿过卢普区前往士兵球场时,一辆坐满粉丝的车停在我身边,问我州街上的这个停车场是否免费?免费!太棒了!

在我排队进入球场的漫长队列中——这条队伍从士兵球场一直延伸到菲尔德博物馆的南侧台阶——来自北卡罗来纳州的凯文和玛丽亚·加西亚告诉我,这是他们第七次观看 BTS 的演出,顺便一提, 的门票并不便宜。好吧,多少钱?凯文笑了:“那个,我们还没真正算过账。”现场有穿着水手服的粉丝,有穿着白色正装衬衫打领带的粉丝,还有头上戴着毛绒玩具的粉丝——这些都是在致敬 的标志性元素。我看到了一只镶满宝石的服务犬。一名女性走过,分发着手工制作的贴纸并询问:“你是来提供情感支持的,还是 ARMY?”有什么区别?“情感支持的人是来喝酒的。”然而,ARMY 购买了如此之多的 周边,以至于售卖 T恤、 应援棒($69)和 毛巾($40)的摊位几乎被搬空了。

万一你对此一无所知, 成立于 2013 年,但此后因为在韩国军队服强制兵役而失去了近三年半的时间。因此,这次巡演在某种程度上是成员们的全球回归。粉丝们告诉我很多关于他们的事。柾国(Jungkook),组合中的老幺,用卷起来的毛巾当枕头。RM,队长,热爱《Friends》。金(Jin),年纪最大的,自称“全球最帅”。智旻(Jimin)是最好的舞者。V,就叫 V,是最有原创性的。 Suga 是内向的人。而 j-hope——我的最爱,或者用 K-pop 粉丝的话说,我的“本命”(bias)——拥有惊人的颧骨。

顺便说一下,粉丝在说这些话时几乎也带着一种心照不宣的眨眼,他们意识到自己正在扮演一个古老流行故事中的角色。他们知道 K-pop 就像之前的 Motown 一样,既是一种音乐流派,也是一种生产模式。因此,有时会存在天然的僵硬感,一种与强制兵役无关的步调一致。甚至粉丝互动的时刻也是经过剧本设计的。(我知道是因为我在演出前几天就拿到了一份曲目单。)就像泰勒·斯威夫特的“时代”巡演一样,有一个环节组合会演唱两首在其他城市不演出的“惊喜”歌曲,可以明显感觉到他们在这里玩得多么开心,任何阴沉的神情都被一种松弛感所取代。

BTS 正在展现出打破固有模式的迹象。成员们拒绝将他们的音乐提交至格莱美奖新设立的“最佳亚洲流行音乐表演”类别;他们坚持认为自己是普世的,而不仅仅是韩国的,而且这种坚持是有道理的。尽管他们的热门歌曲《Body to Body》融入了深受喜爱的韩国民谣《阿里郎》(这也是他们最新专辑的名称)的旋律,但观看他们的 Netflix 纪录片《BTS: The Return》就会发现,他们公开担心自己的声音是否过于带有民族主义色彩。

事实并非如此。

他们唱的主要是关于心理健康危机、自我赋能、渴望被认真对待,当然还有爱情,尽管他们的声音中带着一种惆怅的怀旧感,提醒着你他们现在几乎都快走出 20 岁这个年龄段了。在演出的接近尾声时,他们坐在一个巨大的旋转圆盘上,以在足球场内所能达到的最真诚的方式与观众交谈——就像之前的布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀一样,他们是擅长在大规模演出中营造亲昵感的大师。随后,他们舒展修长的身体,再次开始歌唱,粉丝们释放出又一波新的狂喜,而这一切毫无造作之感。

名人

迪翁对首支演唱歌曲保密

来自新闻服务机构

席琳·迪翁(Celine Dion)周五抵达巴黎,她向人们飞吻并用双手比出心形。这是她在透露自己患有僵人综合征(stiff-person syndrome)后,首次开展系列演唱会。

这位格莱美奖得主在巴黎的一家酒店安顿下来,准备在法国首都西郊的 Plenitude Arena 举行 9 月和 10 月共 16 场驻场演出。首场演出将于 9 月 12 日开幕。此时,大批粉丝与记者在酒店外聚集,高喊着“我们很高兴见到你”和“我们爱你”。

她告诉法国广播公司 BFMTV:“我准备好了,当然,我有点紧张,因为已经过了很长时间。”

这位出生于魁北克的歌手说:“从第一天起,我就一直感受到支持,因为这是一个在延续的故事。这里确实是我的第二个家。”

当被问到将首唱哪首歌时,迪翁回答道:“我不能说,这是一个大秘密!”

此次巴黎演唱会之后,5 月还将举行 10 场演出。由于在 2022 年披露患有这种罕见的神经系统疾病,迪翁多年未进行巡演,因此此次演出标志着一个重要的里程碑。

迪翁在全球范围内专辑销量近 2.6 亿 张,

她仍然是流行音乐史上最畅销且获奖最多的艺术家之一,以《My Heart Will Go On》和《Because You Loved Me》等热门歌曲而闻名。

此次名为“席琳·迪翁 巴黎 2026-2027”的系列演唱会将演绎她英文和法文的经典曲目。

在 2024, 巴黎奥运会开幕式上,迪翁在埃菲尔铁塔之顶演唱《Hymne à l’amour》(爱的赞歌),这次短暂但被广泛关注的回归令观众惊叹。

帕顿流媒体播放量激增:多莉·帕顿(Dolly Parton)拥有多重身份,但对许多人而言,她周二的离世提醒人们,其遗产的核心在于她作为词曲作者的角色。人们也相应地在流媒体上播放她的歌曲。

行业数据分析公司 Luminate 发现,与周一相比,帕顿作品集的音频和视频流媒体播放量在离世当天激增 2,109%——在美国从 120 万 次攀升至 2630 万 次。在全球范围内,其播放量增长了 1,280%,从周一的 250 万 次增加到周二的 3500 万 次。

播放量最高的歌曲包括《Jolene》、《9 to 5》、与肯尼·罗杰斯(Kenny Rogers)合唱的《Islands in the Stream》,以及她演绎的《I Will Always Love You》。

艺人摩根去世:杰伊·P·摩根(Jaye P. Morgan)已经去世,享年 94 岁。她是 20 世纪 50 年代顶尖的女录音艺术家之一,仅在 1955 年就有 5 首热门歌曲,包括《That’s All I Want From You》。她后来成为脱口秀的常客和游戏节目的评委,曾在《The Gong Show》中脱掉上衣而闻名。

邻居吵闹的孩子破坏了退休人员在后院绿洲的时光

R. 埃里克·托马斯 咨询埃里克

亲爱的埃里克:在工作50年后,我最近退休了。与此同时,我们隔壁的房子被一个有六个孩子的家庭买走了,孩子们的年龄从新生儿到10岁不等。

我们的地块并不大。曾经是我后院的绿洲(我在这里园艺、阅读和游泳)现在成了一场噩梦。孩子们简直是在尖叫。我不知道该怎么办。

那位父亲竟然告诉我,让我好好享受这个安静的夏天,因为它已经结束了。我们奋斗了一辈子才取得了现在的成就,而我觉得这一切在眨眼之间就被毁了。

除了搬家,我们还能做什么? ——郊区之扰

亲爱的郊区之扰:这是一个很难接受的事实,因为它由一部分“接纳”和一部分“沟通”组成。大多数时候,我们无法控制谁住在我们附近。这可能会带来极好的结果,也可能会很糟糕——或者介于两者之间。

虽然隔壁传来的噪音令人沮丧,但承认“绿洲”从来就不是一件完全由你掌控的事情,或许会有所帮助。

隔壁总会有人在建设他们自己的天堂。虽然你理想的邻居可能是同样热爱园艺和其他安静活动的人,但这并没有保证。

接纳能让你摆脱沮丧,进入一个积极主动的状态。为了让你现在所处的空间更加宁静,你可以做些什么?围栏、树篱、白噪音机器和放松的音乐都可能有帮助。

沟通也会有帮助。邻居是否愿意达成某种时间表?如果你喜欢游泳并享受早晨的安静,他们能否同意在某个时间点之前保持后院较为安静?

再次强调,不能保证他们一定会同意,但值得尝试,因为你们共享一个空间,他们并不能自动决定那里发生的一切。

亲爱的埃里克:我63岁,我丈夫65岁。就我们的年龄而言,我们认为自己还很“年轻”。

前几天我做了一个旨在确定“生物年龄”与实际年龄对比的测试。其中一个问题是:“你是否期待好事发生的概率大于坏事?”当他回答“不”时,我感到惊讶和失望。我问他为什么,他说是因为他担心钱的问题。

我是个体经营者,几个月前失去了一个大客户,该客户贡献了我一半以上的收入。在必要时,我一直能够找到替代工作来弥补损失的收入。诚然,这次花的时间更长了,我怀疑年龄歧视在其中起了一定作用,但我并没有失去完成这件事的信心,而他失去了,这让我很心痛。

我试图告诉他,这个问题不仅仅关乎金钱,而是一种乐观的前景和对好事会发生的信念。他简单地说他没办法,他只觉得那个洞在变得越来越深。

我不想否定他的感受或担忧。但在我们的关系中,唯一一次我觉得我们看待事物的方式如此不同,是在很早以前我们孩子还小的时候,当时他觉得被一份他讨厌的工作以及他的人生所困住。他认为唯一的“出路”就是离开我们。

我们花了很多年才重新找回彼此,并将过去融入到我们变成的新自我之中。在过去的13年里,这种方式效果极佳,但现在我们在人生观上的这种分歧再次让我感到担忧。

我是不是把这件事看得太严重了?我的担忧是,这是否真的触及了我所认为的问题核心,还是并没有?

——永远的乐观主义者

亲爱的乐观主义者:我认为你是正确的,金钱问题和心态问题可能是两回事。

可以理解,他的这些评论唤起了你的创伤。你希望,而且应该获得安慰。直接这样表达可能会有所帮助:“我们关于金钱的谈话方式让我感到不安,这让我想起了你曾经感到被困住的那段时间。我不认为现在的情况一样,但如果你能亲口告诉我,并且我们能一起探讨在压力之下如何保持联系,会对我有帮助。”

另外,你可以谈谈你的财务状况。你无法控制他的担忧或他的心态。而且,某些心态可能与眼前的问题关系不大,而更多地与人生阶段有关。

但共同审视数字并制定考虑到多种可能情况的应急计划,有助于减轻焦虑,并让你们双方能够进行更清晰的沟通。

请将问题发送至 eric@askingeric.com 或邮寄至 P.O. Box 22474, Philadelphia, PA 19110。在 Instagram 上关注他,并在 rericthomas.com 订阅他的每周时事通讯。

音乐评论

Weezer凭借这张充满活力、令人热血沸腾的强力流行专辑再创佳绩

作者:Ron Harris 美联社

作为鼻音强力流行乐(nasal power pop)之王,Weezer成员们发布了他们的第20张录音室专辑,亦被称为《Weezer (Gold Album)》,延续了其以乐队自名并以颜色标识专辑的传统。

请放心,这张专辑为忠实粉丝提供了该乐队标志性的能量。

即便如此,这里并没有突破任何界限。但实际上,Weezer真的需要突破界限吗?

现在这件事应该是可以被接受的——距离1994年《Blue Album》中那些被撕毁的毛衣已经过去了30多年——这支由主唱Rivers Cuomo领衔的天才四人组,只需做他们最擅长的事:准时到岗,尽情演奏。

开场曲《Say Yes》是一首朗朗上口的洗脑歌曲,Cuomo在歌中质疑自己的位置和价值。这是一种掩饰拙劣的反思,人们不禁会将其与Weezer的职业生涯联系起来:“这里有人会给我一颗快乐药丸 / 如果我似乎无法感受到快感,就让我显得愚蠢吧。”

《WEEZER (GOLD ALBUM)》 Weezer (Warner Records)

Cuomo和他的伙伴们已经成功了,而他们的《Gold Album》很出色。

当然,其中也存在像《C.E.O.》和《Nowhere》这样的填充曲目,后者确实毫无亮点——其钩子(hook)冗余且前提浅薄。

但即便这些失误,也被一些出色的作品所掩盖,例如由另类乡村独立摇滚乐队Wednesday参与录制的《We Might as Well Be Strangers》。有些东西已经丢失了,Cuomo在哀歌中令人信服地唱道:“生日快乐 / 谢谢你的安定药(Valium)。”

Weezer的歌曲矩阵有一种模式:先说一些尴尬的话,Cuomo在歌唱中走向困境,然后乐队用一阵隐秘且令人难忘的钩子和可靠的和弦进程冲破这一切。

《We Might as Well Be Strangers》是一首扎实的歌曲,也是一个完美的例子,它对一段关系的剖析最终让位于优美的激昂吉他演奏。这是专辑中的顶级曲目之一。

Weezer的成员们一直一只脚踏在名声之屋中,另一只脚则在门外等待,嘲笑着自己是如何被接纳的。他们长期以来一直对名声机器进行讽刺(想想2014年的《Eulogy for a Rock Band》,或者本专辑中的《The LA Sound》),同时又沉浸在一种奇妙的感觉中:像他们这种类型的乐队竟然一开始就被允许进入这个圈子。

在《Gold Album》中,Weezer的粉丝将欣赏到该乐队的一贯性和长青。

这是因为Weezer现在处于一种回顾模式:依然在开玩笑,依然在摇滚,依然在巡演。

这支乐队自称关于衰老的“元歌曲”(meta songs),其本身大概率也能经受住时间的考验。

鲍塔斯接任《战神》角色

来自新闻服务机构

Dave Bautista 将接替因伤缺席的 Ryan Hurst,在系列剧中饰演克雷多斯(Kratos)。DIMITRIOS KAMBOURIS / GETTY 2024

《战神》(God of War)有了新的克雷多斯。

Dave Bautista 将在 Prime Video 的真人电视剧中担任主角,该剧改编自同名电子游戏系列。

《混乱之子》(Sons of Anarchy)的前演员 Ryan Hurst 最初获得了这个电子游戏史上最著名的父亲之一的角色,但在 6 月,他在拍摄一场特技戏时在片场受伤。

在 1 月被宣布饰演克雷多斯,他在社交媒体的一篇帖子中表示,他以前经常玩克雷多斯这个角色。“现在我可以成为他了,”他写道,“很感激能拿起这把斧头,并感谢那些让这个故事成为传奇的粉丝们。”

因肱二头肌严重撕裂需要手术,恢复时间将使制作周期推迟到 2027, 年,据报道这与拍摄计划相冲突。今年早些时候, 完成了这部备受期待的剧集第一季中四集的拍摄,但这些内容将被废弃,并由 Bautista 接替重新拍摄。制作预计将于秋季恢复。

《战神》基于 PlayStation 的古希腊神话主题电子游戏,讲述了克雷多斯——一个天生的斯巴达人,后来成为了希腊战神——以及他的儿子阿特柔斯(Atreus),他们一起踏上旅程,去散播妻子兼母亲 Faye 的骨灰。在旅途中,克雷多斯试图帮助儿子成为一个更好的神,而阿特柔斯则教会他的父亲如何成为一个更好的人。

Bautista 是一位希腊和菲律宾血统的 WWE 摔跤冠军转型的电影明星,他将加入演员阵容,其他成员包括:饰演阿特柔斯的 Callum Vinson,饰演奥丁的 Mandy Patinkin,饰演巴德尔的 Ed Skrein,饰演海姆达尔的 Max Parker,饰演索尔的 Ólafur Darri Ólafsson,饰演希芙的 Teresa Palmer,饰演密米尔的 Alastair Duncan,饰演辛德里的 Jeff Gulka,饰演布罗克的 Danny Woodburn,饰演芙蕾雅的 Sonya Walger,饰演索鲁德的 Island Austin,饰演马格尼的 Ben Chapple,饰演莫迪的 Louis Cunningham,以及饰演格娜的 Evelyn Miller。

以《幕府》(Shōgun)、《黑袍纠察队》(The Boys)和《辐射》(Fallout)闻名的艾美奖获奖导演 Frederick E.O. Toye 将执导这部即将播出的剧集的前两集。

《匹兹堡》(The Pitt)公布新演员:HBO 医疗剧《匹兹堡》在回归第 3 季时,将增加两名新医生和至少五名新患者。

Deadline 报道称,被接诊至匹兹堡创伤医疗中心的 newcomers 将包括来自派拉蒙热门剧集《麦迪逊》(The Madison)的 Barry Clifton 和 Brent Saxton。据报道,两名演员都将饰演急诊室患者。

加入他们的是来自《唯一》(The One)的 Hannah Ware、《博施:传承》(Bosch: Legacy)的 Stephen Chang 以及来自《沃克:独立》(Walker: Independence)的 Lawrence Kao,他们的角色同样在寻求医疗救助。

《粘稠》(The Sticky)的明星 Chris Diamantopoulos 和来自《功夫》(Kung Fu)的 JB Tadena 将在负责照顾他们的医生之列。

该剧的主演 Noah Wyle 在《匹兹堡》前两季中饰演首席医生 Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch,他告诉 Deadline,第 3 季将侧重于医生在治愈患者的同时也治愈自己。这包括他那个压力巨大的角色,他正专注于自己的心理健康。

“它是脆弱的,而且并非没有风险和脆弱性,但至少有了前进的进展,”Wyle 说道。

新一季详细描述了 11 月 12. 一个繁忙急诊室里每小时的活动。那是退伍军人节后的第二天,也是感恩节前两周。HBO 尚未公布第 3 季的具体上线时间,不过新剧集预计将在 1 月播出,与该剧前两季的情况一致。

《匹兹堡》已获得 38 项艾美奖提名——其中 25 项将在 9 月 14. 举行的颁奖典礼上揭晓。该剧已获得五项奖项,包括 Wyle 在 2025 年获得的一项剧情类最佳男主角奖。他凭借在第二季中的表现再次获得提名。

星座运势

如果你的生日是 8 月 29 日:在 8 月最后几天以及进入 9 月期间,沟通可能会成为重点。好消息是,2026 年接下来的时间应该比今年到目前为止更容易应对,一些不错的机会正在接踵而至。

白羊座(3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日):随着你在接下来的一个月左右更多地成为关注焦点,准备阶段可能已经结束。你构建得越牢固,它就越能经受住未来的挑战——这一点适用于几乎所有事情。

金牛座(4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日):清理衣橱既可以是字面意义上的,也可以是隐喻性的——无论哪种努力都能清除旧能量,并为下一阶段的成长和成功奠定基础。

双子座(5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日):你越能释放习惯性的焦虑,你的视角就越清晰,生活看起来就越美好。在接下来的一个月里,一个朋友或朋友圈可能会处于混乱状态——请做好面对意外的准备。

巨蟹座(6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日):由于你沟通领域中存在干扰因素,加上今天的星象评分低于零度,即使你完全真诚,仍可能被怀疑。

狮子座(7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日):在像今天这样日分值处于低谷的日子里,不要敲定任何事情。起始或顶峰时期的负面星象通常不支持积极的结果。

处女座(8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日):顺其自然,但不要强求。快速移动的周期可能会在提供一点帮助后带来巨大的阻碍,此外,通用日分值也毫无帮助。

天秤座(9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日):遵循你独特的道路,你就很少会在琐碎中迷失。你的梦想可能在地下强力构建,但在未来几周内仍难以被察觉。

天蝎座(10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日):杂乱不支持创造。如果你的灵感之神没有回复你的信息,试着清理一下工作室(隐喻意义上)。与朋友进行头脑风暴可能会产生一些有趣的想法。

射手座(11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日):你的私人内心生活与面对公众的形象之间可能存在脱节。看看你是否能找到一种解决方案,以实现更真实的平衡。

摩羯座(12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日):今天在沟通方面尽力而为,通用星象不佳,但你的学习和沟通领域虽然情况复杂,但仍提供了一些希望。

水瓶座(1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日):今天避免资金变动或任何大宗购买。虽然明天是更好的一天,但即便那时开始的事情可能也不会有太长的寿命,而且情绪可能会驱动决策。

双鱼座(2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日):接下来的几天可能会像一场希望与绝望交织的财务过山车。不要执着于任何极端,这只是一次通往虚无的快速旅程。

桥牌

南北方脆弱,南家发牌

巴西世界冠军加布里埃尔·查加斯(Gabriel Chagas)在今天的牌局中担任南家。我们提供了一个简化版的叫牌过程。实际的

南家< / td><>西家< / ><>北家< / ><>东家< / >< / tr><><>2♣< / ><>Dbl*< / ><>2♦< / ><>3♠< / >< / ><><>4♣< / ><>Pass< / ><>4♦< / ><>Pass< / >< / ><><>4NT< / ><>< / ><>5♦< / ><>< / >< / ><><>7♣< / ><>< / ><>7♦< / ><>< / >< / ><><>7NT< / ><>All < / ><>< / >< / table>

叫牌过程要长得多。那次叫牌精妙、细腻,且充满了现代科学气息。他们最终达成了一个同样愚蠢的合同。查加斯必须假设红心套牌(heart finesse)能成功,从叫牌来看极有可能,但这只有 12 墩。他需要在牌局中寻找奇迹以获得第 13 墩,而他找到了!他被迫赢得了首攻的黑桃,并开始出他的梅花套牌。当只剩一张梅花时,局面如下:

Grand Avenue 作者:迈克·汤普森(Mike Thompson)

查加斯出梅花 2,并从明手(dummy)中弃掉一张黑桃。东家无法弃掉方块,于是弃掉了一张红心。现在,出红心 J 让查加斯无论西家是否盖牌,都能获得三墩红心。出色的叫牌得到了回报!

熊队 (BEARS)

6 名球员争夺最终名单席位

季前赛收官战在即,名单裁减迫在眉睫

作者:肖恩·哈蒙德 (Sean Hammond) 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥熊队与田纳西泰坦队将于周六下午 5 点在田纳西州纳什维尔的日产体育场结束 NFL 的季前赛赛程。

从开球那一刻起,熊队将恰好有 24 小时的时间来做出 53 人最终名单的决定。各球队必须在周日下午 5 点前将名单从 90 人削减至 53 人。

“这是国家美式足球联盟中最糟糕的一天,”特勤组协调员理查德·海托尔 (Richard Hightower) 本周表示。“我认为没有人会否认这一点,尤其是在像我们这样真正极其关心员工的组织中。我们会与这些小伙子建立感情。但归根结底,这仍然是一门生意。”

大多数球队现在对名单的最终构成已经有了相当清晰的预想。即便如此,最后一场季前赛仍是留下深刻印象的最后机会——对于那些处于名单边缘的球员来说,一次出色的表现绝对能起到作用。

“我们名单上有 90 个人,其中许多人现在正在为自己的职业生涯而战,他们的故事令人惊叹,”教练本·约翰逊 (Ben Johnson) 说道。

以下是其中几个故事。这 6 名球员可能会从周六对阵泰坦队(下午 5 点,Fox-32 频道)的最后一次出色表现中获益。

外接手 KADEN DAVIS 和 SCOTTY MILLER

戴维斯一直是训练营中最精彩的故事之一。他在练习中表现出色,并将其转化为季前赛揭幕战的成绩,当时他接住了替补四分卫泰森·巴根特 (Tyson Bagent) 传出的 4 次接球,获得 88 码。戴维斯在第二周仅获得一次接球机会,但更有说服力的是,他当时与卡莱布·威廉姆斯 (Caleb Williams) 及首发球员共同在场上。

小熊队牛棚在失利中遭受重创 —— 冲刺阶段面临关键决策

作者:安迪·马丁内斯 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

在接下来的几天里,芝加哥小熊队的阵容将受到密切关注 —— 而这不仅仅是因为实用球员马特·肖在周五早晨的重新出现。

鉴于左投手霍比·米尔纳以及由先发转为救援的爱德华·卡布雷拉可能回归,牛棚的情况将被密切跟踪。当周二进入九月时,小熊队将能够增加两名球员,其中包括一名投手。

但在里格利球场周五以 10-8 输给辛辛那提红队的系列赛揭幕战中,出现了一个典型例子,说明了为什么救援投手群在赛季最后 27 场比赛中将至关重要。主教练克雷格·康塞尔、投手教练汤米·霍托维以及小熊队的其他高层将希望精调出适合十月份的八名投手组合,而像周五这样的出场表现将成为他们组建团队时分析的另一个数据点。

小熊队牛棚共丢了 8 分 —— 三名救援投手每人都丢了至少 1 分,而特伦特·桑顿在第六局丢掉的 5 分成为了失利的决定性因素。这位右投手在八月份此前未丢过分,自 6 月 24 日以来仅丢过 4 分,在周五之前其自责分率(ERA)为 2.32。

“他投了几个糟糕的球,然后被对方击中了,”康塞尔在失利后表示。“特伦特在一段时间内表现得非常好,但今天他投了几个糟糕的球。”

桑顿此前的成功凸显了小熊队牛棚所处的危险境地。这八人小组中只有三名投手拥有小联盟选择权 —— 在交易截止日收购的右投手瑞安·泽费尔詹,以及左投手瑞安·罗利森和右投手丹尼尔·帕伦西亚,后两者都是康塞尔关键的杠杆手臂。

这意味着,如果小熊队想将米尔纳重新纳入阵容,他们将不得不与牛棚轮换中的其他五名成员之一——桑顿、终结者雅各布·韦伯、左投手卡莱布·希尔巴,或长救援投手亚伦·西瓦莱和科林·里亚——分道扬镳。

红队 对 小熊队 周六 下午 1:20 Marquee

米尔纳在阑尾切除术后于 7 月 29 日开始了小联盟康复任务。一名球员进行康复任务的时间不能超过 30 天,这意味着小熊队必须在周六的比赛前决定是将他从伤病名单(IL)中激活,还是将其指定为转让(DFA)。比赛期间有一篇报道称他已被 DFA,但康塞尔否认了这一点。

“那是不准确的,”他在赛后说道。“我不能发表更多评论,但这不准确。”

无论米尔纳的状态如何,小熊队的牛棚在赛季最后几周预计会出现一些变动。卡布雷拉周五在球队位于亚利桑那州的训练基地进行了实战打击练习。如果他恢复良好,之后可能会进行康复任务,然后重新回到牛棚组合中,因为小熊队希望通过让他进行更短时间的高强度投球,可以让他避免导致本赛季第二次进入伤病名单的水泡问题。

大学橄球赛季预告

大局观:十大联盟力求维持顶峰地位

作为接棒者。

作者:埃里克·奥尔森 (Eric Olson)

赛季前瞻

美联社

尽管人们对支付给大学运动员的金额激增感到焦虑,对球员参赛资格展开法庭之争,并对季后赛球队数量进行辩论,但本足球赛季在赛场上最大的看点是,十大联盟能否在投票 era 首次赢得连续第四个全国冠军。

十大联盟至少已经侵蚀了东南部联盟(SEC)长期以来作为顶级足球联赛的地位。这一势头始于密歇根大学在 2023 年夺冠,这是十大联盟自世纪之交以来的第二次夺冠,随后俄亥俄州立大学在 2024. 年延续了这一势头。接着,印第安纳大学在 2025 年完成了其从历史输球最多球队到全国冠军的神奇攀升。

现在,拥有明星四分卫丹特·摩尔 (Dante Moore) 以及令人印象深刻的回归首发名单和新转会球员的俄勒冈大学,正引发广泛关注。

“没有人会对我们的球队抱有比我们更高的期望,”教练丹·兰宁 (Dan Lanning) 表示。“我们是每天在训练馆里努力工作的人。当然,我为这支球队以及他们付出的努力感到非常自豪。我们有很高的期望,我们有很多想要实现的目标。”

“拥有这样的球员只会对你有所帮助。”

连续第四个十大联盟冠军将追平 SEC 在 2019-22 年的纪录,但仍落后于 SEC 在 2006-12 年连续七次夺冠的纪录。

赛马

40年前,阿灵顿公园赛马场成为焦点

作者:尼尔·米尔伯特 (Neil Milbert)

为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

Sumptious,赔率高达35-to-1,在8月19, 1986.于阿灵顿公园赛马场(Arlington Park)开始的为期13天赛马节上领跑。图源:ED WAGNER JR. / 《芝加哥论坛报》档案

随着霍桑赛马场(Hawthorne Race Course)在7月关闭,芝加哥地区的赛马运动宣告终结。令人感到悲哀且讽刺的是,它的消亡恰恰发生在阿灵顿公园赛马场举办伊利诺伊赛马史上奖金最高、最负盛名的赛事40年之后。

这场被称为“国际赛马节”的13天盛会于Aug. 19-Sept. 1, 1986,举行,现场布置得像乡村集市,设有帐篷和临时看台。

分级赛事(在欧洲被称为组别赛)是指最高级别的赛事,而此次赛马节共有13场此类赛事——其中6场一级赛(Grade I)、4场二级赛(Grade II)和3场三级赛(Grade III)。此外,还有四场仅限伊利诺伊州培育马参加的主要赛事。

总奖金超过500万美元,日均奖金约为$385,000,,这在当时的伊利诺伊州是前所未有的,此后仅在2002年阿灵顿赛马场举办育马者杯(Breeders' Cup)时被超越过一次。

这是一场在世界任何地方都从未见过的盛会。

“除了育马者杯(该赛事于1984年作为单日活动创办)之外,从未有过这样的盛会,”国际赛马局(International Racing Bureau)主席尼克·克拉克(Nick Clark)表示。该组织总部位于英国纽马基特,致力于帮助阿灵顿及全球其他赛马场吸引外国赛马。

“(英国的)皇家雅士谷赛马会(Royal Ascot)也有节日庆典,但那里只有一场一级赛,而这里有六场。澳大利亚和日本的墨尔本和东京在举办主要赛事时也有庆典,但它们的规模无法与此次盛会相比。”

赛马节期间,阿灵顿赛马场的日均观众人数为17,819,,每天在赛场及大都市区的同步转播点(包括Sportsman's Park、Maywood Park和Balmoral Park)的投注额平均为$2,383,052。当时还没有与州外赛马场之间的同步转播。

国际赛马节的灵感源自前一年8月的“奇迹百万”(the Miracle Million)。那场赛事在类似的临时环境下举行,而在此之前的26天里,库克县历史上最大规模的火灾之一彻底摧毁了会所和看台。

受“奇迹百万”成功的启发,阿灵顿赛马场的大股东、已故的迪克·杜肖索伊斯(Dick Duchossois)决定在1986,创造一系列奇迹。他模仿英国和法国的短期赛马节,举办了一场小型赛事,以保持其赛马场在国际舞台上的关注度。

“在中西部拥有一个世界级的赛马场至关重要,”杜肖索伊斯说道。他在February 1986.买断了合伙人拉尔夫·罗斯(Ralph Ross)、乔·乔伊斯(Joe Joyce)和谢尔顿·罗宾斯(Sheldon Robbins)的股份。“欧洲赛马在草地上进行,而阿灵顿拥有北美最好的草地赛道之一。”

“我们在这里是为了展示为什么纯血马赛马是全球第二大观赛运动。这是一项巨大的责任,也是一项巨大的挑战。我们欢迎这项责任和挑战。”

除了在草地赛道和主赛道上的比赛外,现场还设有各种特许经营摊位,为粉丝们提供微缩版的“芝加哥味道”(Taste of Chicago)。

主赛事是“阿灵顿百万赛”(Arlington Million)。1981年,乔伊斯在为麦迪逊广场花园管理赛马场期间创办了该赛事,使其成为全球首场百万美元奖金的比赛。

恰如其分的是,1986年的赛事被证明是一个里程碑式的“百万赛”。由艾伦·保尔斯顿(Allen Paulston)拥有、查理·惠廷汉姆(Charlie Whittingham)训练并由费尔南多·托罗(Fernando Toro)骑乘的6岁母马Estrapade,成为了该赛事历史上唯一的女性获胜者。该赛事随后在1988,于多伦多的伍德宾(Woodbine)、2022年于丘吉尔园(Churchill Downs)举行,此后在丘吉尔园公司(Churchill Downs, Inc.)位于弗吉尼亚州的卫星赛场殖民地园(Colonial Downs)举行。

而且,埃斯特拉帕德(Estrapade)在那场$1 \frac{1}{4}$英里的比赛中以5个马身的优势击败了13名对手,这一胜距至今仍保持着纪录。(“百万奇迹”冠军,来自英国的提词机 [Teleprompter] 获得第七名。)

“她为全球女性解放事业打了一次最强有力的击击,”她那位在加利福尼亚州执教的名人堂训练师惠廷汉(Whittingham)开玩笑说道。

《论坛报》对“百万日”的报道规模与目前熊队在比赛日的报道量相当——当时在阿灵顿(Arlington)配备了两名记者、两名专栏作家和一名摄影师。

“那是我在赛马报道岗位上的第一个完整年份,”退休的《论坛报》记者兼博彩分析师戴夫·苏里科(Dave Surico)说。“对于一个当时对赛马还相对陌生的人来说,我认为那种比赛质量与现场氛围的结合,使其成为了一次一生一次的体验。”

该节庆吸引了来自东西两岸以及加拿大的顶尖训练师和骑师,以及一些著名的欧洲人士。

另一匹处于聚光灯下的雌马是顶级胸花(Top Corsage)。8月20,,加拿大骑师桑迪·霍利(Sandy Hawley)骑乘这匹3岁雌马赢得了草地$1 \frac{1}{16}$英里的三级普克-阿普锦标赛(Pucker Up Stakes);而8月28时,由加州骑师加里·史蒂文斯(Gary Stevens)骑乘,她赢得了泥地$1 \frac{1}{8}$英里的阿灵顿橡树赛(Arlington Oaks)。

节庆期间最大的冷门发生在开幕日的一级阿灵顿经典赛(Arlington Classic)中,赔率高达35-1的黑马奢华(Sumptuous)夺冠,为现场14,104名投注者带来了$73.20的赔付。

当爆炸亲爱的(Explosive Darling)赢得二级的星条旗让磅赛(Stars and Stripes Handicap)——一场在草地赛道上具有深厚传统的比赛——时,杜肖索伊斯(Duchossois)有了更多理由庆祝节庆的成功。这匹马是由他在巴灵顿山(Barrington Hills)的希尔-恩-戴尔农场(Hill 'N Dale Farm)培育并拥有的伊利诺伊州纯种马。爆炸亲爱的由当地资深训练师卢·戈德法恩(Lou Goldfine)训练,由长期驻扎阿灵顿的骑师厄尔利·法耶斯(Earlie Fires)骑乘,后者后来被 入选 入赛马名人堂。

阿灵顿常客帕特·戴(Pat Day)在82场比赛中获得23次胜利,霍利在79,场比赛中获得23次胜利,两人并列骑师冠军;而卡尔·纳夫兹格(Carl Nafzger)则是领先训练师,在18次尝试中获得6次胜利。这三人后来全部成为了名人堂成员。

戴在1986年被评为北美杰出骑师;埃斯特拉帕德被选为年度冠军雌性草地马;而节庆期间三级埃奎波伊斯英里赛(Equipoise Mile)的冠军微笑(Smile)被选为顶尖短距离赛马。

为期13天的节庆如此成功,以至于促使杜肖索伊斯在1987,年申请一个常规的91天赛期,并配备临时看台和帐篷,伊利诺伊州赛马委员会批准了他的请求。

在宣布计划将赛道重建为位于威斯康星州边界附近莱克县老磨溪村(Old Mill Creek)马术综合体的一部分,并将阿灵顿的325英亩土地转变为商业、文化、娱乐和住宅综合体后,杜肖索伊斯改变了主意。

他在1988年没有申请任何赛期,并在赛道于阿灵顿高地(Arlington Heights)原址重建期间,将“百万赛”移至伍德宾(Woodbine)。

当这座奢华且富有传统的新赛道于June 28, 1989,重新开放时,它被誉为一件杰作。《建筑摘要》(Architectural Digest)称其为“世界上最美丽的赛马场”。

杜肖索伊斯在1998年和1989年关闭了阿灵顿,以向立法机构施压要求减税。他在2000年重新开放,并在此后不久与丘吉尔道恩公司(Churchill Downs, Inc.,简称CDI)合并,成为该母公司的最大股东。

起初这看起来是一个明智之举——CDI在帮助阿灵顿获得2002年育马者杯(Breeders' Cup)方面发挥了关键作用,证明了这一点——但随着时间的推移,杜肖索伊斯出于遗产规划的目的开始减少持股,并在管理他心爱的赛道方面扮演的角色大大减少。

2019年,CDI收购了位于德普莱恩斯(Des Plaines)附近的里弗斯赌场(Rivers Casino)的控股权,并决定出售阿灵顿赛马场以消除博彩竞争。该物业被出售给熊队,但附带一项规定,即该场地不得进行赌场博彩、赛马或体育博彩。这支NFL球队已经拆除了这座宏伟的赛马场,以降低其考虑建造体育场的物业税。

阿灵顿赛马场的最后一次会议于2021年举行,CDI宣布将“百万赛”(the Million)更名为“D先生锦标赛”(Mr. D. Stakes)以向杜肖索伊斯致敬。

实际上,这与其说是荣誉,不如说是一种侮辱。奖金被削减至$600,000,导致这场在1981年首次亮相时曾是全球奖金最高赛事的参赛阵容成为了历史最弱。

与此同时,海外已开办许多赛事,其奖金让“百万赛”的奖金看起来像零钱一样。悉尼的珠峰杯(The Everest)是全球奖金最高的草地赛,奖金高达2000万美元;而沙特阿拉伯利雅得的沙特杯(Saudi Cup)也提供同等金额,使其成为全球奖金最高的泥地赛。在美国,育马者杯(Breeders' Cup)现在已成为一项为期两天的赛事,去年吸引了来自12个国家的49名国际选手。

但据《血马》(The Blood-Horse)记者鲍勃·基克霍弗(Bob Kieckhofer)所述,他曾前往多个国家报道国际赛事,他认为杜肖索伊斯的遗产不应被遗忘。

“毫无疑问,迪克是国际赛马的先驱,”他说,“只要看看1986年赛马节的赛事名单,就会令人悲哀地想起我们在伊利诺伊州衰落得多么严重。”

熊队

接自C1页

熊队在宽接手位置上可能已有五个稳进名单的人选:罗马·奥登泽(Rome Odunze)、卢瑟·伯登三世(Luther Burden III)、卡利夫·雷蒙德(Kalif Raymond)、贾达·沃克(Jahdae Walker)和扎维昂·托马斯(Zavion Thomas)。

对于戴维斯(Davis)和米勒(Miller)来说,这可能取决于数学计算。熊队会在初始名单中保留五名还是六名接手?去年的情况可能是一个很好的指标,当时他们保留了六名。

米勒比戴维斯经验更丰富,但在季前赛中没有产生巨大影响(5次接球,获得55码),且在辛辛那提的比赛中没有在首发进攻组中获得任何出场机会。

“我能带来的一点就是速度和多功能性,以及在内线和外线担任多种位置的能力,”米勒说。

莫里斯·亚历山大(Maurice Alexander)——可能是第三位竞争者,但胜算较低——在第二和第三梯队的比赛中取得了亮眼数据(8次接球,获得102码并完成1次达阵),但在首发阵容中的出场时间不多。

刚从联合足球联盟(United Football League)出来的戴维斯如果能入选球队,将是一个相当惊人的故事。他在连续四年中,分别被四支球队在训练营期间或53人名单截止日期前裁掉。

“这是管理层的一次极佳收购,”海塔워(Hightower)在谈到戴维斯时说,“他工作极其努力,真的让人很愉快。他就像一块海绵,你知道吗?这个孩子在多支球队中奋斗过,显然被多支球队释放或裁掉,但他一次又一次地奋斗。我对凯登·戴维斯(Kaden Davis)充满敬意。”

外围竞争:基兰·阿梅加吉(Kiran Amegadjie)和杰德里克·威尔斯二世(Jedrick Wills Jr.)

在左截锋的竞争中,阿梅加吉和威尔斯两人的趋势可能都在走下坡路。随着布拉克顿·琼斯(Braxton Jones)从轻微膝伤中恢复,他看起来将成为第一周的首发。在上周对阵孟加拉虎的季前赛中,熊队选择让西奥·贝内迪特(Theo Benedet)担任第二梯队的左截锋,而不是阿梅加吉或威尔斯。

这使得贝内迪特看起来像是准备担任替补截锋(swing tackle)的角色,他是第一位能够胜任两侧位置的替补球员。NFL球队通常在53人名单中保留9或10名进攻线球员。去年熊队保留了10名。

在琼斯、贝内代特和右截锋达内尔·赖特之后,球队可能仅保留一名截锋。如果熊队将奥齐·特拉皮洛列入伤病预备名单(IR)——球队可以将两名球员列入带有回归资格的伤病预备名单,这实际上为他们提供了两个额外的名额——那么阿梅加吉或威尔斯就有机会进入初始名单。特拉皮洛虽然已经回到了训练场,但尚未参与任何球队训练。

“我不确定我们是否 $100$ 确定谁将成为对阵卡罗来纳(第 1 周)的(首发)球员,”约翰逊在谈到其左截锋位置时表示,“我们仍将继续研究。”

威尔斯看起来是左截锋的第三选择,而阿梅加吉在对阵孟加拉虎队时担任右截锋,在琼斯、贝内代特和威尔斯都轮番上阵后,他被移至左侧。

威尔斯在周四的联合训练中由训练师陪同离场,这也可能会给目前的局面带来变数。

安全卫 斯凯勒·托马斯 (SKYLER THOMAS)

熊队本周将资深安全卫兼特勤组贡献者以利亚·希克斯 (Elijah Hicks) 从“身体无法执行任务”名单中激活。

希克斯因胫骨受伤缺席了近一个月的新兵训练营。

他的激活对熊队的安全卫深度来说是个好消息,同时也为争夺科比·布莱恩特 (Coby Bryant) 首发位置的竞争增加了一个值得关注的人选。但对于阵容深度排名更靠后的球员来说,这则是坏消息,尤其是来自俄勒冈州立大学的未选秀新秀斯凯勒·托马斯。

在训练营期间,托马斯一直稳定地在第二阵容中出战,且在伤病需要时偶尔进入第一阵容。上周,他通过一次飞身拦截截获了孟加拉虎队四分卫肖恩·克利福德 (Sean Clifford) 的传球。

一年前,熊队在最初的 53 人名单中保留了四名安全卫。假设布莱恩特进入伤病名单 (IR),他们可能会考虑保留迪伦·希内曼 (Dillon Thieneman)、卡姆·刘易斯 (Cam Lewis)、泽维尔·伍兹 (Xavier Woods) 和希克斯。在周四的联合训练中,刘易斯和伍兹与希内曼共同承担了第一阵容的练习次数,且刘易斯通过拦截卡姆·沃德 (Cam Ward) 的传球,成为了二线防守组少数的亮点之一。

如果希克斯接近康复并准备好进入活跃名单——所有迹象都表明他正朝着这个方向发展——那么托马斯可能会陷入困境。季前赛的收官之战对托马斯来说至关重要,他不仅在为名单席位而战,而且看起来也是 16 个练习阵容席位之一的候选人。

跑卫 萨尔冯·艾哈迈德 (SALVON AHMED)

如果熊队保留四名跑卫,艾哈迈德有望进入名单。去年他们仅保留了三名。

目前看来,德安德烈·斯威夫特 (D'Andre Swift)、凯尔·莫南盖 (Kyle Monangai) 和罗肖恩·约翰逊 (Roschon Johnson) 似乎已锁定前三名。约翰逊在特勤组的经验可能超过名单上的其他跑卫。但如果人们担心莫南盖的膝伤会持续到常规赛,熊队可能会保留第四名。

艾哈迈德在第二阵容进攻组中表现良好,在两场季前赛中通过接球和冲球共获得 122 码,并贡献了一个达阵。

他没有太多的常规赛特勤组经验,而这通常是阵容深度靠后的跑卫必须具备的条件。在前两场季前赛中,艾哈迈德在特勤组出场了 20 次。

“他参与了很多(特勤组)工作,”海塔워 (Hightower) 表示,“他在那里取得了一些进展,并且在提高方面做得很好。我们很自豪能帮助那些没有相关经验的球员。”

直接对决将决定美联中区之争

“它们将决定一切”

明尼阿波利斯 —— 未来几周的分区直接对决将在很大程度上决定谁能成为美国联盟中区的冠军。

“这些比赛非常重要,它们将决定一切,”芝加哥白袜队经理威尔·维纳布尔 (Will Venable) 周五下午表示,“显然,这就是核心所在,能否搞定你自己的分区。”

排名第一的白袜队周五在目标球场开始了对阵排名第三的明尼苏达双城队的三场系列赛。白袜队在当天领先第二名克利夫兰守护者队 2½ 场胜差。双城队则落后 6½ 场。

先发投手戴维斯·马丁 (Davis Martin) 表示,那些经历过以往季后赛冲刺的资深球员提供了很大帮助。

“他们明白只要处理好每一天的比赛,抬头看时,你就会处于你想要的位置,”马丁周五说道,“所以,这成了我们的一种极致专注。就是享受其中,继续做我们自己。你们每晚都能看到我们比赛,我们在寻找乐趣,享受彼此,只尝试一场一场地赢球。”

以下是竞争者之间剩余对决的详细分析。

白袜队 (周五前战绩 70-63)

白袜队在周五之前的赛季系列赛中以 4-3 领先双城队,总得分以 45-25 领先明尼苏达队。

在 5 月 25 日至 28 日于 Rate Field 的四场比赛中,白袜队赢了三场,唯一的失利发生在 5 月 26 日的加时赛中,比分为 5-3。白袜队在次日反弹,以 15-2 获胜,其中切斯·梅德罗斯(Chase Meidroth)击出了一支满垒本垒打。

白袜队客场对阵双城队 周六 下午 1:10 CHSN

梅德罗斯在本赛季前七场对阵双城队的比赛中表现出色,29 次击球中命中 10 次(.345),包括两支二垒安打、一支本垒打和七次打点。

在 6 月 1 日至 3 日于 Target Field 的三场比赛中,白袜队输掉了两场,但在收官战中以 8-0 获胜,先发投手埃里克·费德(Erick Fedde)在五局无失分中仅允许两次安打。他被定为周六的先发投手。

在周五之后,白袜队和双城队还将再进行五场对决,其中两场在本次周末,随后在 9 月 4 日至 6 日于 Rate Field 进行三场系列赛。

白袜队与守护者队仅剩三场比赛,将于 9 月 14 日至 16 日在 Progressive Field 进行。白袜队在系列赛中以 6-4 领先,其中八场比赛的胜负差距仅为一到两分。

对阵守护者队的系列赛将开启一段连续 10 场对阵分区对手的赛程。随后白袜队将回到主场与底特律老虎队进行四场系列赛(9 月 17 日至 20 日),然后前往密苏里州堪萨斯城(9 月 22 日至 24 日)。

白袜队对阵老虎队的战绩为 6-3,老虎队在周五前排名第四,落后八场。白袜队在 8 月 14 日至 16 日于 Comerica Park 的三场比赛中完成横扫,拉开了两队之间的距离。

皇家队在美联中区排名垫底,但最近 11 场比赛赢了 10 场。白袜队对阵皇家队的战绩为 7-3。

总体而言,白袜队在美联中区的战绩为 23-13。这是该队在上一赛季分区赛 18-34 之后实现反弹的主要原因。包括周五在内,赛程中剩余的 29 场比赛中有 16 场是对阵美联中区球队。

“我们分区的每一支球队都非常出色,”维纳布尔(Venable)说道。“即使是皇家队,也许他们的整体战绩没有反映出来,但他们打出的棒球非常、非常出色。所以实际上,目前我们分区的每支球队都是难缠的对手。”

“我们知道,要想在最后达成目标,就必须处理好每一件事。我们的球员也明白这一点,不会让任何一场比赛或任何一个系列赛掩盖接下来的比赛。他们明白每一场比赛的重要性。实际上,无论是否在分区内,所有比赛都至关重要。”

守护者队 (68-66)

守护者队在周五前取得了七连胜,追平了他们的赛季最高纪录。

他们在本周末回归分区赛,与皇家队进行三场比赛。守护者队对阵美联中区对手的战绩为 19-17,其中对阵皇家队为 4-3。两队还将在 9 月 25 日至 27 日于 Kauffman Stadium 完成常规赛的收官。

守护者队对阵老虎队还剩四场比赛(9 月 4 日至 6 日在 Progressive Field)。该系列赛将以一场双赛(split doubleheader)开始。守护者队在赛季系列赛中赢了九场中的七场,但在 8 月 11 日至 13 日于 Comerica Park 的最近一次交手中输掉了三场中的两场。

守护者队将在前往明尼苏达(9 月 11 日至 13 日)之后,在 Progressive Field 与白袜队进行关键的三场系列赛。

双城 (64-70)

在接下来的几周里,双城队将与美联中区的大多数球队交手。

在与白袜队比赛后,双城队将在主场迎战老虎队(8月31日至9月2日),然后前往客场挑战白袜队和底特律队(9月7日至9日)。他们本赛季最后几场分区比赛将于9月11日至13日在目标球场对阵守护者队。

尽管在得分上以 41-47 落后,但双城队对阵守护者队的战绩为 6胜4负。对阵老虎队的情况类似,双城队虽然在得分上 32-37 落后,但赛季系列赛以 5胜2负领先。

双城队在美联中区的战绩为 19胜18负。

如果老虎队 (62-71) 想要重回竞争行列,他们需要比目前在美联中区的表现 (13胜25负) 有显著提升。他们还剩下 14 场分区比赛,全部是对阵双城队(六场)、守护者队(四场)和白袜队(四场)。

阵容变动

在周五对阵双城队的系列赛首场之前,白袜队将指定击球手/外野手安德鲁·贝宁滕迪从丧假/家庭医疗紧急情况名单中恢复,将投手泰勒·施魏策尔列入陪产假名单,并从 3A 夏洛特队召回投手泰勒·吉尔伯特。

小熊队(接 C1 页)

“我们会让他尝试一些较短的投球局数,是的,”考塞尔在赛前表示。

但即使不将卡布雷拉纳入目前的计划,小熊队目前也有两名长接力投手:西瓦莱,他在周五的 2.5 局中丢了两分非自责分;以及里亚,他自 8 月 21 日以来尚未登场,且自 8 月 9 日以来仅投了三局。

“他是健康的,(这只是)比赛情况使然,”考塞尔在谈到里亚时说。

当肖从伤病名单 (IL) 中激活时,小熊队的进攻得到了增强,外野手凯文·阿尔坎塔拉被下放以给这位多面手腾出空间。肖最初于 6 月 29 日因左手扭伤进入伤病名单,后因病情反复导致其回归时间推迟至周五。

“在这种情况下,我原以为会快一些。结果花了很多时间,”肖在赛前说。“所以这确实考验了我的耐心。很高兴能回来。”

肖为考塞尔提供了另一个板凳选项,可以将其部署在内野或外野,并在比赛后期根据对阵情况进行调整。

“我们还没有遇到太多需要这种情况的时刻,”考塞尔在赛前说。“你不知道哪场比赛会遇到这种情况——坦白说,对于我们的阵容来说,大多数比赛都不会——但总会有一些日子我们会遇到,而他在板凳上是非常有价值的。”

在小熊队第八局攻下四分、几乎完成一次不可思议的反击时,肖担任代打。在佩德罗·拉米雷斯击出三分本垒打将比分追至 7-9 后,肖击出二垒安打。三名打者之后,肖在铃木 seinen 的二垒安打中得分,但小熊队右外野手被留在二垒,作为扳平比分的分数结束了该局。

“你能攻下八分,我想你会感到满意,”考塞尔说。“我们做得很好,创造了一些机会。”

“但我们今天丢了 10 分。丢 10 分的情况下很难赢球。”

历史上的今天:8月29日

1921年:在左投泰勒(Lefty Tyler)的投球带动下,芝加哥小熊队以1-0战胜辛辛那提红人队,夺得国家联盟冠军。

1971年:亚特兰大勇队的汉克·亚伦(Hank Aaron)打入本赛季第100分,使其创下国家联盟在11个赛季中打点数达到或超过100次的纪录。 1977年:圣路易斯的卢·布罗克(Lou Brock)完成职业生涯第893次盗垒,打破了泰·科布(Ty Cobb)保持的现代职业生涯盗垒纪录。红雀队以3-4负于圣迭戈教徒队。

以1-0战胜辛辛那提红人队夺得联盟冠军。 1934年:费城运动家队以13-5战胜底特律老虎队,终结了“学生”罗(Schoolboy Rowe)连续16场获胜的纪录。

1948年:布鲁克林道奇队的杰基·罗宾逊(Jackie Robinson)在以12-7战胜圣路易斯红雀队的比赛中击出循环击球(hit for the cycle)。罗宾逊在该场比赛中贡献了两分打点,得分为3分,并完成一次盗垒。 1965年:旧金山的威利·梅斯(Willie Mays)在以8-3战胜纽约大都会队的比赛中击出本月第17支本垒打,打破了拉尔夫·基纳(Ralph Kiner)保持的国家联盟纪录。基纳曾在1949年9月击出16支本垒打。梅斯在面对杰克·费舍尔(Jack Fisher)时击出了一记极远的长打。 1967年:堪萨斯城运动家队的伯特·坎帕内里斯(Bert Campaneris)在以9-8负于克利夫兰印第安队的10局比赛中击出三支三垒安打。坎帕内里斯是自1939年本·查普曼(Ben Chapman)以来首位在单场比赛中击出三支三垒安打的球员。

1977年:克利夫兰的杜安·奎珀(Duane Kuiper)在市政体育场面对芝加哥的史蒂夫·斯通(Steve Stone)时,在第一局一出局的情况下击出了一支独跑本垒打。这是奎珀在职业生涯3,379次打数中的唯一一支本垒打——这也是MLB历史上在最高打数情况下本垒打数最少的球员纪录。 1985年:纽约洋基队的唐·贝勒(Don Baylor)在职业生涯第190次被投球击中,创下美国联盟纪录。贝勒在第一局被加州天使队的投手柯克·麦卡斯基尔(Kirk McCaskill)击中,打破了由米尼·米诺索(Minnie Minoso)创下的189次旧纪录。 1991年:芝加哥白袜队的卡尔顿·埃伊斯克(Carlton Eisk)击出两支本垒打,成为最年长的

1991年:芝加哥白袜队的卡尔顿·菲斯克(Carlton Fisk)击出两支本垒打,成为20世纪达成该成就的最年长球员。他将在10月3日通过再次击出两支本垒打来超越这一纪录。杰克·麦克道尔(Jack McDowell)投满全场,以7-2击败克利夫兰。 1993年:乔治·布雷特(George Brett)在堪萨斯城以5-4在12局比赛中战胜波士顿的比赛中记录了其第200次盗垒,与威利·梅斯和汉克·亚伦一起,成为仅有的拥有3,000次安打、300支本垒打和200次盗垒的球员。

2000年:在天使队以9-4击败多伦多的比赛中,安纳海姆的达林·埃尔斯塔德(Darin Erstad)在5次打数中击出3次安打,成为65年来最快达到200次安打的球员。圣路易斯红雀队的达基·梅德威克(Ducky Medwick)曾在1935年通过131场比赛达成此成就。

联盟赛

2002年:马克·贝尔霍恩成为国家联盟历史上首位在同一局中分别以左右手击球均击出本垒打的球员,当时芝加哥小熊队以13-10战胜密尔沃基队,该记录发生在第四局。

■ 道奇队:道奇队的双栖球星大谷翔平周五进行了简短的牛棚投球训练,这标志着他离重返投手丘又近了一步。“我想大约投了20球,”经理戴夫·罗伯茨在道奇队开始与老虎队的系列赛前表示。“我真的不知道该如何评价。我没有亲眼看到。显然,我得和翔平谈谈,和(投球教练)马克(普赖尔)谈谈,然后我们再决定周日的安排。”由于左膝受伤,大谷翔平自7月3日以来一直没有投球。这位右投手本赛季在$85 1 / 3局中取得了8-2,防御率1.79,三振95次。他一直担任指定击球手首发,目前打击率为.285,击出30支本垒打,贡献80分打点。

2004年:阿尔伯特·普霍兹击出他的第40支本垒打,并连续第四个赛季达到100分打点,帮助圣路易斯队4-0.击败匹兹堡队。他是第四位在职业生涯开始的连续四个赛季中至少获得100分打点的球员,与名人堂成员阿尔·西蒙斯、乔·迪马乔和泰德·威廉姆斯并列。

2010年:在视频回放的帮助下,布莱恩·麦坎击出绝杀本垒打,帮助亚特兰大勇士队以7-6惊险战胜佛罗里达马林鱼队。这是首次通过视频审核决定比赛结果。

2018年:密尔沃基队的克里斯蒂安·耶利奇6打6,完成了循环击球(cycle),而赫苏斯·阿吉拉在第10局击出本垒打,推动酿酒人队以13-12战胜辛辛那提红人队。酿酒人队本场比赛击球数达到赛季最高的22次,并四次反超比分,赫苏斯·阿吉拉在第10局击出了领先本垒打。

2021年:密歇根州泰勒市在战胜俄亥俄州汉密尔顿市后,赢得了少棒世界系列赛冠军。

2022年:洋基队的亚伦·贾奇击出了本赛季的第50支本垒打,使其进度略领先于罗杰·马里斯在1961年击出61支本垒打并创下球队及美国联盟纪录时的节奏。

■ 洋基队:马克斯·弗里德将从伤病名单中回归,在周六对阵红袜队的日夜双赛中为洋基队投球。洋基队经理亚伦·布恩周五下午表示,球队尚未决定弗里德将在哪一场比赛中首发。另一位左投手卡洛斯·罗东预计将在另一场比赛中登板。

赛场快讯

■ 猛虎队:塔里克·斯库巴尔在回到底特律时受到了欢呼和零星嘘声的迎接。自从这支表现平平的球队将他交易给两届卫冕世界大赛冠军道奇队后,这是他首次代表道奇队对阵旧主。当视频显示屏出现客队阵容和斯库巴尔的名字,且在首球投出前播报其姓名时,科梅里卡球场的大部分观众为这位两届赛扬奖得主鼓掌,而部分观众则对他发出嘘声。猛虎队播放了一段他效力球队七个赛季的职业生涯视频剪辑,并在结尾处贴出一条信息:谢谢你,塔里克。斯库巴尔似乎没有对这段致敬或观众做出反应;当时他脖子上搭着一条白色毛巾,从左外野墙外的牛棚走向道奇队休息区,许多球迷在此时起立。

■勇士队:右投手斯宾塞·施韦伦巴赫和赫斯顿·沃尔德雷普在赛季前右肘手术的康复过程中遭遇挫折,将接受赛季报销的手术。勇士队周五宣布,沃尔德雷普需要进行汤米·约翰手术,这可能会使他缺席 2027 赛季。施韦伦巴赫在 2 月份接受了去除右肘骨刺的手术,而他这次赛季报销的手术将处理更多骨

■ 双城队:双城队顶级新秀沃克·詹金斯周五从 3A 圣保罗队被召回。这位 21 岁的外野手出现在双城队对阵白袜队的阵容中,担任九棒并守中外野。双城队在 2023 年业余选秀中以第五顺位选中了当时来自北卡罗来纳州的高中生詹金斯。他在 2025 赛季末被提升至 3A,并在整个 2026 年效力于圣保罗队。

高尔夫巡回赛冠军赛

杰拉德与霍夫兰并列榜首

作者:道格·弗格森 美联社

本周之战。”

亚特兰大——瑞安·杰拉德在周五的表现足够出色,拿下了五个相对轻松的小鸟球,并出人意料地在距离洞口80英尺以内的一球进洞,再次获得一个小鸟球。这使他以5杆下的65杆,在赛季收官的巡回赛冠军赛(Tour Championship)中与维克多·霍夫兰共同领跑36洞。

霍夫兰在第15洞(一个仅155码的par 3半岛果岭)拿到了五个小鸟球中的一个,该洞球位紧贴左侧,靠近一个会导致球滚离果岭的陡坡。他以66杆,与杰拉德共同以10杆下的130杆进入周末比赛。

紧随其后的是谁?几乎是所有人。

其中包括世界排名第一的斯科蒂·舍夫勒,他打出67杆,落后两杆。还包括卡梅伦·杨,他在第一轮后处于垫底位置,但在打出62杆后,在当天的大部分时间里都领跑积分榜。他最终也落后两杆。

科林·森川和克里斯·戈特鲁普 each shot 67,以9杆下的131杆落后一杆。

杰拉德心中考虑的不仅仅是$10 million的奖金和PGA巡回赛的五年豁免权。总统杯的队长选拔名单将在巡回赛冠军赛后公布,这位来自北卡罗来纳州的27岁选手正对此念念不忘。

“很难不去想这件事,”杰拉德说,“我很清楚,本周如果表现出色,将大大增加我的机会。我这周是为自己而战,试图打出一些好成绩,并希望在最后能赢得一座奖杯。”

在比赛过半时,两座奖杯——一座巡回赛冠军赛奖杯和一座联邦快递杯(FedEx Cup)奖杯——正等待着获胜者。由于周四有雨且周五阴天,尽管当天晚些时候有微风,但球场状况相对柔软,三分之一的参赛选手之间仅差三杆。

没有人像杨那样充分利用这一优势。凭借在球员锦标赛(The Players Championship)的标志性胜利以及在多拉尔(Doral)的一场标志性赛事中的大胜,他依然在争夺PGA巡回赛年度最佳球员。

在第一轮所有人都打出低分时,他开局就遭遇了两个柏忌,他开玩笑说这让他开始怀疑自己的职业选择。他那天打出70杆,导致他与最后一名并列,并在由29人组成的参赛名单中(J.J. Spaun已退出)于周五单独出发。

他在前九洞打出30杆,随后又连续拿下两个小鸟球,在前11洞达到了7杆下。杨在第12洞的沙坑中打出柏忌,状态略有下滑,并在接下来的比赛中错失机会,直到在par-5的第18洞将一个40英尺的老鹰球推入洞底,最终打出62杆。

这使他在最后一组球员出发时处于并列领先位置,而杨在回合结束时发现自己仅落后两杆时会感到有些惊讶。低分层出不穷,他有理由相信有人会大幅超越他。

“大约三个半小时前我还处于最后一名,”杨说,“今天没什么风,而且考虑到昨天最后一名是平手,看来所有人的状态都相当不错。”

雪崩队马卡尔签署联盟历史上最高额合同

新闻服务

凯尔·马卡尔(Cale Makar)与雪崩队于周五达成了一项价值 $163.200 万、为期八年的续约协议,这将使他成为联盟历史上薪酬最高的球员。

该协议条款由其经纪公司 Bartlett Hockey 确认。

马卡尔的续约合同将成为 NHL 历史上金额最高的一笔,超过了明尼苏达狂野队前锋基里尔·卡普里佐夫(Kirill Kaprizov)去年 9 月签署的为期八年、价值 1.36亿美元 的续约合同。马卡尔的合同将持续到 2034-35 赛季。

马卡尔的合同年均价值(AAV)为 $20.400 万,自 2027-28 赛季起生效,这一数额超过了鲨鱼队超级巨星麦克林·塞莱布里尼(Macklin Celebrini),后者在 7 月下旬签署了一份为期五年、价值 9400万美元 的续约合同,年均价值为 $18.800 万。

“能在这个令人惊叹的丹佛市与雪崩队继续我的旅程,我感到无比兴奋,”马卡尔在球队发布在社交媒体上的视频中说道,并称这是一个历史性的日子。“希望接下来的九年同样精彩。”

现年 27 岁的马卡尔在刚刚结束的赛季中贡献了 20 个进球和 59 次助攻。在诺里斯奖(Norris Trophy,授予联盟最佳后卫)的投票中,他仅次于哥伦布队的扎克·韦伦斯基(Zach Werenski)排名第二。马卡尔在职业生涯中曾两次获得该奖项。

大学篮球:托德·戈尔登(Todd Golden)连续三年获得加薪,这将使他成为东南部联盟(SEC)中薪酬第二高的篮球教练。这位 40 岁的佛罗里达州教练在本月早些时候签署了一份为期一年的续约合同,使其合同总价值增加至 $49.500 万。该合同年均价值为 $8.2500 万,合同期限将持续到 2031-32 赛季。

大学橄榄球:一名法官已批准举行听证会,以调查一名男子要求撤回多年前对宾夕法尼亚州立大学助理橄榄球教练杰里·桑迪斯基(Jerry Sandusky)性虐待指控的请求。现年 82, 岁的桑迪斯基在 2012. 年被判定 45 项性虐待罪名成立,此后一直服刑数十年。当时有 8 名年轻男子就他们童年时遭遇的经历作证。桑迪斯基多次尝试申请重新审理但均告失败。法院文件中被标识为 R.R. 的一名男子表示,他受到了当局的广泛引导。

MLB:光芒队在周五获得了县政府对其融资计划的批准,这将允许他们建造一座新体育场。此前一天,市政府官员批准了他们在该项价值 23 亿美元 billion 的球场项目中的相关部分,该球场将取代圆顶的热带花园球场(Tropicana Field)。

足球:拉扬·切尔基(Rayan Cherki)在五分钟内攻入两球,埃尔林·哈兰德(Erling Haaland)也梅开二度,曼彻斯特城在周五以 4-1 击败水晶宫,保持了在英超联赛开局的全胜纪录。

费德勒入选网球名人堂

罗杰·费德勒当然热爱胜利,并且在职业生涯的巅峰时期几乎总是能获胜。单凭他积累的那些胜利和奖杯,就足以让费德勒在网球界永垂不朽,但这仅仅是他享受比赛的部分原因。他喜欢前往参加各项赛事,结识人们并结交新朋友,无论对方是在球网的另一侧,还是坐在观众席上。直到结束竞技生涯后,费德勒才意识到这对他在该项运动中的影响力产生了多么深远的作用。“我想在退役时——我想我之前说过——人们在讨论我的个性以及我在场下为这项运动带来的整体贡献时,我感到有些惊讶,”费德勒说。“我原以为在那个时刻,人们关注的是正手、反手、挽救破发点、胜利以及所有这些东西。但实际上,最终这变得并非无关紧要,而是关于人们如何记住你,你在更衣室、走廊里,或者与媒体、赛事主管、球童相处时表现如何。”本周六,费德勒将在罗德岛州纽波特被正式册封进入国际网球名人堂,届时他可以回顾这一切。

罗莫面临另外三项传票

托尼·罗莫因上个月被捕一事又面临三项传票,该事件导致他被暂停担任CBS NFL比赛首席分析师的职务。罗莫于7月23日在威斯康星州被捕,涉嫌酒后驾驶。针对这位前牛仔队四分卫的案件在周四进行了修正,增加了在机动车内持有开启的酒精饮料、右侧不安全超车以及首次酒后驾驶的传票。此前,他已经收到了一张因在被捕后拒绝接受酒精检测而开出的传票。CBS体育总裁大卫·贝尔森本月早些时候表示,目前还没有关于罗莫在网络公司未来去向的决定时间表。46岁的罗莫自2017年起一直担任CBS NFL报道的首席比赛分析师,在此之前的2004-16年职业球员生涯中,他完全效力于达拉斯队并四次入选职业碗(Pro Bowl)。在罗莫缺席期间,分析师JJ·瓦特将与现场播报员吉姆·南茨和场边记者特雷西·沃尔夫森一起加入CBS体育的NFL首席报道团队。罗莫是在沿43号州际公路向南行驶时被交警拦截后被捕的。

克里斯·赛尔在八局之后已经投了97球,对于大多数投手在大多数比赛中来说,这已经相当于一场完整比赛的量。勇士队经理沃尔特·魏斯已经在牛棚准备好了第九局的接替投手。即便如此,两人都知道赛尔在周四晚上对阵道奇队的比赛中不会被换下。在赛前得知一位朋友去世的消息后,赛尔在勇士队1-0获胜并横扫系列赛的完封局中拥有了额外的动力。“他像是在执行一项使命,”魏斯说。“你能看得出来。他从第一球起就在进攻。”这种不同的状态意味着魏斯已经在计划让赛尔在第九局重新回到投手丘。随后,魏斯说,赛尔在第八局结束后走进休息区并宣布:“这一局是我的。”魏斯并不打算争论。赛尔表示,他在赛前收到一条短信,称他的朋友艾希莉·福斯(Ashley Foss)去世了,福斯是一名财务顾问,与赛尔的经纪人B.B.·艾博特共事。赛尔未提供细节。“如果你需要更多动力,这就是你所需要的一切,”赛尔说。这位37岁的左投表现强势,前五局仅投了60球,前七局投了81球。他仅允许对方击出五次安打且没有保送,在109次投球中,有80次为好球。——美联社

陷入困境

凯塞洛夫斯基在代托纳的NASCAR常规赛收官战中需要“奇迹”

作者:马克·隆 (Mark Long)

美联社

佛罗里达州代托纳比奇 —— 布拉德·凯塞洛夫斯基(Brad Keselowski)需要在代托纳国际赛车场创造一个“奇迹”,才能进入杯系列赛的季后赛。

一个更可能的剧本是:他在劳什-芬威-凯塞洛夫斯基赛车队(Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing)的队友瑞安·普里斯(Ryan Preece),在周六晚上NASCAR的主场赛道上凭借强劲表现勉强进入季后赛。

“我的赛车需要像奇迹一样的东西,”2012年系列赛冠军凯塞洛夫斯基说道。

普里斯补充道:“我只想着尝试赢得分段赛并赢得比赛。……目前有很多未知数,我正努力做好充分准备。”

在代托纳的这场夏季比赛中,凯塞洛夫斯基和普里斯是五名争夺10场冠军争夺战(Chase for the championship)最后三个名额的车手之一。布巴·华莱士(Bubba Wallace)、奥斯汀·辛德里克(Austin Cindric)和谢恩·范吉斯伯根(Shane van Gisbergen)也希望在这场400英里的比赛中锁定季后赛席位。

这五个人将在高倾斜赛道的灯光下成为关注焦点。这是由于NASCAR更改了季后赛赛制,不再保证在常规赛期间赢得一场比赛的车手一定能获得季后赛席位。

凯塞洛夫斯基在面对代托纳的常规赛收官战时,更多是以一名理性的车队老板而非绝望的参赛者身份对待。另一位RFK车手克里斯·布舍尔(Chris Buescher)已经锁定了季后赛名额,而让普里斯进入其中将有助于车队的财务底线。

“我们对此非常关注,”凯塞洛夫斯基说。

华莱士和辛德里克几乎已经锁定了10名车手参加的冠军争夺战席位,这基本上让范吉斯伯根和普里斯在为季后赛名单的第16个也是最后一个名额而战。范吉斯伯根领先普里斯31分 —— 这是一个相对较小的优势,在开赛初段可能会迅速被缩小。

“很多事情在发生。并不确定结果会如何,”范吉斯伯根说。“我认为30分很多 —— 直到它变得不多为止,直到他有两个出色的分段赛,然后我们就面临巨大的压力。……我想我们计划采取相当保守的策略,看看他的比赛情况并做出反应。”

所有车手都需要对NASCAR为了提高超级赛道比赛质量而进行的马力和空气动力学调整做出反应。

监管机构强制要求更改发动机,将马力从510降低到465。它还削减了后扰流板3英寸,从而降低了下压力,据推测操控性也会下降。

“车群会有一种氛围,这取决于每个人在其他赛车周围驾驶时感觉多么舒适,”积分领先者丹尼·汉姆林(Denny Hamlin)说。“实际比赛的激烈程度将取决于这种舒适度。”

汉姆林在本周早些时候表示,这可能会导致“绝对的混乱”,部分原因是车手们没有被允许在赛道上测试新设置。

“如果能测试一下就好了,”车手丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯(Daniel Suárez)说。“有时候有一点总比没有好。很多人会在第一分段赛中进行调整。”

而所有的目光都将集中在范吉斯伯根和普里斯身上。

“压力在我们身上,这种感觉相当酷,”范吉斯伯根说。

苏亚雷斯在代托纳等待宝宝出生

苏亚雷斯已通过Spire Motorsports锁定了季后赛名额,他准备好随时离开代托纳。苏亚雷斯的妻子朱莉娅(Julia)怀孕38周,可能会在比赛前、比赛中或比赛后立即分娩。

苏亚雷斯最近完成了一次医院实地考察,因此他知道如果需要匆忙飞回家,应该去哪里以及怎么做。

“希望宝宝是在周一到周五出生的,”他说,并补充说车队尚未选择候补车手。

“我们正在寻找合适的人,”他说。“不过,他必须会说西班牙语。”

谁是投注热门?

威廉·拜伦(William Byron)和瑞安·布莱尼(Ryan Blaney)是以+850的赔率并列为热门人选。乔伊·洛加诺(Joey Logano)(+1100)是第三选择,随后是泰勒·雷迪克(Tyler Reddick)、克里斯托弗·贝尔(Christopher Bell)和蔡斯·埃利奥特(Chase Elliott),赔率均为+1200。布莱尼赢得了去年的比赛,而雷迪克赢得了2月份的代托纳500。

阿尔卡拉斯期待在美网找回自我

作者:Stephen Whyno / 美联社

纽约 —— 在因右腕受伤缺席法网和温网并休养了四个多月后,卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯决定回归美国网球公开赛,且绝不接受任何低于其大满贯冠军水准的表现。

“你们将看到卡利托斯像往常一样打球,”阿尔卡拉斯说道。

这位来自西班牙的23岁选手定于周一进行自4月中旬因腕伤 sidelined 以来首场正式单打比赛。

他坚称自己没有改变任何技术动作,并对身体状态感到非常有信心。

“我需要比赛,”阿尔卡拉斯周五表示。“我和我的团队认为我已经准备好了。这并非一个简单的决定。我尽了一切努力来确保准备就绪。”

阿尔卡拉斯是卫冕冠军,且被看好能够蝉联,一年前他击败了扬尼克·辛纳并取代其成为世界第一。此次参赛名单中不包括辛纳,后者因右膝受伤退出。

“我们大概有六七个月没见面了,”阿尔卡拉斯说。“坦白说,这种情况有点奇怪。”

在辛纳缺席的情况下,亚历山大·兹维列夫成为头号种子。但所有目光都集中在阿尔卡拉斯身上,他今年早些时候在澳大利亚公开赛决赛中击败诺瓦克·德约科维奇,赢得了他的第七个大满贯冠军。

“每个人都会非常关注他的首场比赛,”11号种子美国选手弗朗西斯·蒂亚福表示。“如果他的状态能接近之前的水平,那将非常艰难。无论如何,即使他没有处于巅峰状态,你仍然得在五盘比赛中击败他。”

阿尔卡拉斯将在回归首战中对阵罗曼·萨菲尤林,直接重新投入到五盘三胜制的网球比赛中。

本周,他通过与塞雷娜·威廉姆斯打了几场混双比赛来找回状态,但他深知未能为美网进行充分的渐进式准备增加了难度。

“这确实很有挑战性,”阿尔卡拉斯说。“可能就准备工作等方面而言,现在并不是最好的时机。”

但在纽约比赛的活力具有足够的吸引力,他表示:“没有比美网更适合回归的赛事了。”

在如此长时间的休赛后他还能夺冠吗?他知道罗杰·费德勒和拉斐尔·纳达尔曾做到过,但他不想设定任何预期。

“我不会给自己设定限制,”阿尔卡拉斯用西班牙语说道。“我不想专注于某个具体的结果。我想专注于我们经历的过程。只要走出去,享受比赛,感觉良好。”

俄亥俄州立大学在四分卫位置上迎回了海斯曼奖决赛入围者朱利安·赛因,并在外接手位置上迎回了天才球员杰里迈亚·史密斯;在美联社前25强排名中,该校将以第1名身份开启赛季,领先于第2名的俄勒冈大学。卫冕冠军印第安纳大学胡西尔人队在失去了获得海斯曼奖的四分卫兼 NFL 选秀状元费尔南多·门多萨后,排名第6。

东南部联盟(SEC)自2022年乔治亚大学赢得连续两个冠军中的第二个以来,尚未有球队进入全国冠军赛,但在季前投票中,该联盟占据了前10名中的5个席位。

排名第三的斗牛犬队迎回了四分卫冈纳·斯托克顿,并将冲击五年内的第四个 SEC 冠军。排名第5的德克萨斯大学在阿奇·曼宁的带领下处于有利位置,曼宁将与来自奥本大学的转学生、季前美联社全美最佳球员卡姆·科尔曼搭档。

排名第4的圣母大学自1988年以来尚未赢得全国冠军,但两年前曾参加过冠军赛。在经历了一场以10连胜收尾的赛季并被大学橄榄球季后赛排除在外后,战斗爱尔兰人队再次成为竞争者。

第7名的迈阿密大学是大西洋沿岸联盟的领头羊。飓风队在全国冠军赛中输给了印第安纳大学,他们刚刚经历了连续两个赛季拿到10胜的成绩,并拥有该运动中最顶尖的全能球员之一马拉基·托尼(Malachi Toney)。

海斯曼奖热潮

根据博彩公司的说法,圣母大学的CJ·卡尔(CJ Carr)和德克萨斯大学的曼宁(Manning)是赢得海斯曼奖(Heisman Trophy)的共同热门人选。

卡尔的24次达阵传球与圣母大学四分卫自1966年以来在职业生涯前12场首发中取得的最高纪录持平。面对一个上赛季仅有四支球队胜率过半的赛程,他有机会刷出亮眼的数据。

曼宁在进入2025年时同样是投注热门。直到他在赛季揭幕战输给俄亥俄州立大学时表现挣扎,并在惨败给佛罗里达大学后完全失去了竞争力。长角牛队通过引进科尔曼并升级跑卫,为曼宁提供了帮助。

密西西比大学的特立尼达·钱布利斯(Trinidad Chambliss)在通过诉讼赢得额外一年的参赛资格后回归。俄勒冈大学的摩尔(Moore)身边围绕着才华横溢的队友,而从杜克大学转会而来的达里安·门萨(Darian Mensah)则提升了迈阿密大学四分卫的位置。

俄亥俄州立大学的赛因(Sayin)是全美传球最精准的球员,如果他能让 the Buckeyes 保持稳定,他可能会再次成为决赛入围者,甚至是获胜者。他的队友史密斯(Smith)是顶尖候选人中唯一的非四分卫球员。

欢迎回归 Pac-12

这不再是你父亲时代的 Pac-12,甚至不再是你记忆中的那个。

在重新调整导致仅剩俄勒冈大学和华盛顿大学两年后,该联盟经历了一次重生。专员特蕾莎·古尔德(Teresa Gould)也进行了一些挖角,使 Pac-12 达到了进入“六大联盟”(Group of Six)并获得季后赛资格所需的8支足球队规模。

加入俄勒冈大学和华盛顿大学的包括前山西联盟成员博伊西(Boise)、科罗拉多(Colorado)、弗雷斯诺(Fresno)、圣迭戈(San Diego)和犹他(Utah),以及前太阳带联盟成员德克萨斯(Texas)。

新任教练

FBS共有34次教练变动,其中最受关注的将是莱恩·基芬(Lane Kiffin)从密西西比大学转投路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)。

时间不在基芬这一边,据报道球员薪资超过4000万美元,且狂热的球迷群体对两个表现不佳的赛季感到沮丧。从亚利桑那大学转会而来的四分卫萨姆·利维特(Sam Leavitt)身边围绕着才华横溢的队友,但排名第11位的老虎队的赛程极其艰巨。

在十大联盟中,凯尔·惠廷汉姆(Kyle Whittingham)接管第16名的密歇根大学,马特·坎贝尔(Matt Campbell)接管第18名的宾夕法尼亚大学。66岁的惠廷汉姆在犹他大学执教23个赛季后做出了这一出人意料的决定,他的任务除了获胜,还要修复该计划受损的形象。对于坎贝尔来说,问题在于一支由许多来自爱荷华大学、习惯于 Big 12 赛季的球员组成的球队,能否在十大联盟的强敌面前立足。

在转入强力联盟职位的教练中,还包括乔恩·萨姆劳尔(Jon Sumrall,从杜兰大学到佛罗里达大学)、鲍勃·切斯尼(Bob Chesney,从詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学到加州大学洛杉矶分校)和亚历克斯·戈莱什(Alex Golesh,从南佛罗里达大学到奥本大学)。

2026年大学足球

新赛季带来变革

CFP微调、新规则和球衣补丁成为显著更新

作者:莫拉·凯里 (Maura Carey) 美联社

一个新的大学足球赛季带来了许多希望、讨论和变化。以下是在比赛开始前需要了解的最显著的休赛期进展:

大学足球季后赛(CFP)的微调

这件事发生在深冬,所以以防你错过了:CFP重申,自动晋级名额将授予“四大强力联盟”(Power Four)的冠军——即十大联盟(Big Ten)、东南部联盟(SEC)、大西洋沿岸联盟(ACC)和12大联盟(Big 12)。

CFP中排名最高的“六大组”球队也将获得一个席位,无论其是否为联盟冠军。你说“六大组”?没错!随着重启的太平洋-12联盟(Pac-12)加入美国联盟(American)、美国联盟(Conference USA)、中美联盟(Mid-American Conference)、山西联盟(Mountain West)和太阳带联盟(Sun Belt),原先的“五大组”现在增加了一个。

在此之后,无论来自哪个联盟,接下来的7支排名最高的球队将填满12队对阵表中的剩余位置。

但圣母大学除外!

12队CFP对阵表的另一项微调:如果圣母大学在赛季结束时被CFP评为前12名,将自动获得季后赛资格。

这比去年采取的方法更直接。去年,尽管圣母大学被委员会评为第11名,但仍未能进入季后赛。相反,杜兰大学和詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学作为五支排名最高的联盟冠军中的两支,获得了最后两个席位。

关于CFP的最后一件事:关于是否扩军至16支甚至24支球队的讨论仍在继续。

针对性犯规的处罚减轻

任何休赛期都会有规则变更,而今年的主角是针对性犯规(targeting)。

在2026, 年,球员的第一次针对性犯规将不再影响其参加下一场比赛。如果在赛季中第二次因针对性犯规被取消资格,该球员将在下一场比赛的上半场被禁赛。第三次犯规则要求在下一场比赛中全场禁赛。

在球员第二次犯规后,各联盟可以启动申诉程序,这将要求由NCAA足球裁判国家协调员协助进行视频审查。如果申诉成功,该球员将能够参加全场比赛。

上赛季最显著的针对性犯规处罚之一发生在峡谷碗(Fiesta Bowl)第四节,迈阿密大学后卫克萨维尔·卢卡斯(Xavier Lucas)被处罚,导致卢卡斯在输给印第安纳大学的国家冠军赛中缺席了上半场。

球迷将注意到的另一项规则变化:进攻方干扰接球(Offensive pass interference)现在的罚码为10码,而非15码。

新的得分机会

本休赛期的另一项规则变更将允许球队在公平接球(fair catch)后尝试射门。踢球手可以选择在接球手接球的位置进行掉球踢(drop kick),或者在不使用球托的情况下由持球手辅助。一些球迷可能会记得最近 NFL 的一个版本:2024年12月对阵丹佛队时,充电者队的踢球手卡梅隆·迪克(Cameron Dicker)在半场结束前踢进了一个 57 码的球。

大批新任教练

在 138 支 FBS 球队中,有 34 支球队更换了新教练。

东南部联盟(SEC)以 6 位新教练领先,美国联盟(American)有 5 位。Big 12 和 Big Ten 各增加了 4 位教练。MAC 联盟、ACC 联盟、太阳带联盟(Sun Belt)以及重建后的 Pac-12 各增加了 3 位新教练。Mountain West、Conference USA 以及 FBS 独立球队 UConn 各聘请了一名新教练。

一些重大的人事变动包括前宾夕法尼亚州立大学教练詹姆斯·富兰克林(James Franklin),他在赛季中被解雇后被弗吉尼亚理工大学招揽。宾夕法尼亚州立大学聘请了爱荷华州立大学的马特·坎贝尔(Matt Campbell)作为富兰克林的继任者。莱恩·基芬(Lane Kiffin)在反叛者队(Rebels)进入季后赛之前离开密西西比大学(Ole Miss)加盟路易斯安那州立大学(LSU),而密西西比大学则从内部提拔了皮特·戈尔丁(Pete Golding)。俄勒冈大学的防守和进攻协调员离开了鸭子队(Tosh Lupoi前往 Cal,Will Stein前往肯塔基大学)。

两支新成员

萨克拉门托州立大学和北达科他州立大学是碗赛分区(Bowl Subdivision)的最新成员,使其成员总数增加到 138 支球队。这些变动于 July 1, 正式生效,萨克拉门托州立大学成为 MAC 联盟的新成员,而北达科他州立大学强大的 FCS 项目则加入了 Mountain West。

如果这两支球队最终获得至少 6 场胜利,并且能够帮助填补其所属联盟的碗赛名额,则将立即获得参加碗赛的资格。

请不要调整您的电视设置

NCAA 已为学校开辟了获取新收入的途径,允许从 8 月 1 日起在球衣上放置赞助商补丁,而且,这类补丁将会非常多。

据报道,仅俄亥俄州立大学和圣母大学的补丁协议总价值就达 3000万美元,但还有许多其他协议——泰森食品(阿肯色大学)、Axle Logistics(田纳西大学)、SRM Concrete(范德比尔特大学)、Ripple XRP 加密货币(堪萨斯大学),甚至还有帕尔梅托州军械库(The Citadel)。

虽然 NCAA 批准了 2024 赛季的场上商业标志,但规模正在扩大。Progressive 保险最近达成一项协议,将其标志放置在 13 所不同学校的比赛场地中,包括俄勒冈大学、密西西比大学、德克萨斯理工大学、乔治亚大学、USC 和科罗拉多大学。

扩军谈判、资格变更及其他调整成为关键看点

作者:埃里克·奥尔森 (Eric Olson)

美联社

比赛即将开始。

一个充斥着关于布伦丹·索斯比 (Brendan Sorsby) 因赌博被禁赛以及全美大学体育协会 (NCAA) 执行新资格规则等法律争端的夏天,即将让位于秋季的年度仪式:周六下午座无虚席的足球场、赛前尾门派对升起的烤肉烟雾,以及对季后赛席位和全国冠军的追逐。以下是为球迷准备的入门指南:

比赛何时开始?

8月27-28日共有17场足球冠军分部 (FCS) 球队的比赛,8月29日有8场碗赛分部 (FBS) 的比赛。

“第0周”的焦点战将在爱尔兰都柏林的爱尔兰航空大学足球经典赛 (Aer Lingus College Football Classic) 中上演,陷入困境的比尔·贝利切克 (Bill Belichick) 率领的北卡罗来纳大学焦油色队 (North Carolina Tar Heels) 将对阵德克萨斯基督教大学 (TCU)。

赛季将在劳动节周末正式拉开帷幕,届时将有几场前25名的对决:莱恩·基芬 (Lane Kiffin) 将在周六晚上主场对阵克莱姆森大学 (Clemson),迎来他在路易斯安那州立大学 (LSU) 的执教首秀;威斯康星大学将在周日晚上于格林贝的兰博球场 (Lambeau Field) 对阵圣母大学;南卫理公会大学 (SMU) 将在周一晚上访问佛罗里达州立大学。

赛季初最精彩的比赛是9月12日俄亥俄州立大学对阵德克萨斯大学。

印第安纳大学是卫冕全国冠军

这六个字,按这个顺序排列,在几年前没人能想象得到,因为当时印第安纳大学 (Hoosiers) 在大学足球历史总输场数中排名第一。

随后库尔特·西格内蒂 (Curt Cignetti) 登场,这位大器晚成的教练在接手后赢得了29场比赛中的27场,并在上赛季带领印第安纳大学在现代体育时代实现了首次16-0的战绩。

海斯曼奖得主兼NFL选秀状元费尔南多·门多萨 (Fernando Mendoza) 是夺冠之路上的核心人物,印第安纳大学在七场比赛中得分至少达到50分。

来自TCU的转会球员乔什·胡佛 (Josh Hoover) 接替门多萨担任四分卫。由于俄亥俄州立大学和俄勒冈大学拥有大量才华横溢的回归球员和转会球员,印第安纳大学甚至不是十大联盟 (Big Ten) 的夺冠热门,更不用说再次获得全国冠军了。

季后赛扩军是否即将到来?

这是12支球队参加季后赛的第三年,也可能是最后一年。扩军最早可能在2027赛季实现,具体取决于十大联盟和东南部联盟 (SEC) 能否就参赛球队数量达成一致。

十大联盟以及大西洋沿岸联盟 (ACC)、12大联盟 (Big 12) 和圣母大学希望扩军至24支球队。而SEC则坚持16支。

24支球队的季后赛将要求各联盟取消其冠军赛,而这正是SEC专员格雷格·桑基 (Greg Sankey) 坚持的争议点。

扩军谈判预计将在9月继续,理论上最终决定必须在12月前做出。体育主管们表示,需要进行更深入的财务分析,以确定扩军季后赛产生的收入是否能抵消各联盟从冠军赛中获得的资金。

CFP赛程

首轮比赛将于12月18-19日在种子排名较高球队的主场举行。四分之一决赛将于12月30日在峡谷碗 (Fiesta Bowl) 以及1月1日在棉花碗 (Cotton Bowl)、玫瑰碗 (Rose ) 和桃碗 (Peach ) 举行。半决赛将于1月14日在橙碗 (Orange ) 和1月15日在糖碗 (Sugar ) 举行。

冠军赛将于1月25日在拉斯维加斯的Allegiant体育场举行。这将是大学足球赛季最晚的结束日期。

五个最优秀的联盟冠军将获得自动入场券。这将是联盟冠军不再保证获得首轮轮空权的第二年。选拔委员会将根据球队在12月6日公布的最终CFP排名中的位置进行种子排序。

如何追踪谁强谁弱

劳工节之后,美联社(AP)将在每周日发布其 Top 25 周度民意调查。CFP(大学橄榄球季后赛)选拔委员会将于 11 月的第一周开始发布其周度排名。

四大联盟热门球队

ACC:排名第 7 的迈阿密大学是压倒性的选择,此前该校已进入全国冠军赛,随后通过引进来自杜克大学的四分卫 Darian Mensah 升级了四分卫位置。

十大联盟(Big Ten):由回归的四分卫 Julian Sayin 和接球手 Jeremiah Smith 领衔的排名第 1 的俄亥俄州立大学是首选,不过这场通往联盟冠军赛的竞争可能会非常激烈。排名第 2 的俄勒冈大学与俄亥俄州立大学不相上下,而且大家都知道不能轻视排名第 6 的印第安纳大学。

Big 12:排名第 12 的德克萨斯理工大学是热门,尽管其四分卫位置将由刚从前十字韧带(ACL)撕裂中恢复的 Will Hammond 出任,而非 Sorsby。德克萨斯理工大学与排名第 14 的杨百慕顶大学(BYU)连续第二年在 Big 12 冠军赛中相遇是非常可能的。

SEC:柯比·斯马特(Kirby Smart)及其排名第 3 的乔治亚大学斗牛犬队处于有利位置,有望冲击连续第三个联盟冠军,以及五年内的第四个冠军。在 SEC 冠军赛之前,他们不会与最大的威胁德克萨斯大学交手,但两所学校在整个赛季都面临着艰巨的赛程。

六大联盟热门球队

美国联盟(American):海军学院以 21-5 的战绩创下了该项目历史上最好的两年记录,并可以利用那些处于或接近联盟排名顶端的学校在教练变动上的机会。

美国联盟(Conference USA):利伯蒂大学预计将从一个饱受伤病困扰的赛季中反弹,在该赛季中,自 2018 年升入 FBS 以来,该校首次出现了负场数多于胜场的记录。

中美联盟(Mid-American):西密歇根大学召回了几乎所有曾在 10-4 战绩并赢得 MAC 冠军的球队关键球员。

山西联盟(Mountain West):随着博伊西州立大学离开并加入 Pac-12,拥有来自奥本大学转会四分卫 Jackson Arnold 的内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校(UNLV)接任了热门角色。

Pac-12:博伊西州立大学获得青睐,因为 Maddux Madsen 回归,他曾贡献 2,334 码传球和 18 次达阵,以及冲球 1,100 码的 Dylan Riley。

东部地区有 60 名新成员,比利·内皮尔(Billy Napier)作为首年教练重返该联盟。特洛伊大学在西部地区被看好。

作者:史蒂夫·梅加吉 (Steve Megargee) 美联社

在田纳西州,东南部联盟(SEC)的每支球队都有可能在赛季开局时由一名大一新生担任首发四分卫。

在周一公布的决定中,排名第20位的田纳西大学大一新生费宗·布兰登(Faizon Brandon)击败了大二学生乔治·麦金泰尔(George MacIntyre)。在范德比尔特大学,贾里德·柯蒂斯(Jared Curtis)正与大四学生布雷兹·伯洛维茨(Blaze Berlowitz)竞争,以争取接替2025年海斯曼奖亚军迭戈·帕维亚(Diego Pavia)的位置。

“你看他的总工作量,他赢得了首发的权利,”田纳西大学教练乔什·休佩尔(Josh Heupel)在谈到布兰登时说道。

田纳西大学的四分卫竞争之所以变得激烈,是因为去年传球码数达到3,565码的乔伊·阿吉拉尔(Joey Aguilar)未能获得一项可使其多获得一年参赛资格的禁令。

“无论如何,我原本就计划来到这里努力工作,但在看到他没有获得额外的一年资格后,我想这让我想要更加努力,因为我知道现在有了四分卫之争,”布兰登在季前训练营开始时告诉记者。

在帮助北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒的格里姆斯利高中(Grimsley High School)连续两年赢得州冠军期间,布兰登传球码数达到6,374码,完成79次达阵,冲球码数1,261码并贡献了另外21次达阵。布兰登身高6英尺4英寸,根据247Sports汇总的招募网站综合排名,他被评为全美第3号四分卫和第10号整体潜力新星。

“我们任命他为首发,是因为我们相信他所付出的努力,以及他在整个训练营以及从第二周到第二次模拟赛期间的持续成长和表现,”休佩尔说。“他赢得了这个权利。”

柯蒂斯则在范德比尔特大学尝试获得这一职责。

这位身高6英尺3英寸的大一新生在撤回对佐治亚大学的口头承诺并选择就读于家乡学校后引起了广泛关注,成为了签约范德比尔特大学的排名最高招募球员。根据247Sports综合排名,柯蒂斯是他那一届全美第4,号整体招募球员。

在纳什维尔基督教学院(Nashville Christian Academy),柯蒂斯的职业生涯传球码数超过9,500码,冲球码数超过2,100码,在那里他赢得了一次州冠军,并被评为田纳西州佳得乐年度最佳球员。

“在手臂力量和创造进攻机会的能力方面,我认为他的天赋和技巧对每个人来说都很明显,”范德比尔特大学教练克拉克·利(Clark Lea)在8月16日的模拟赛后告诉记者。“然而,这是一次‘火之洗礼’。你再次处于SEC的训练营中,面对多种情况,需要处理完整的战术手册以及随身携带的所有检查项。这可能会让像他这样的球员慢下来。他有时表现得不够稳定,但有时也非常具有爆发力。”

柯蒂斯的竞争对手是伯洛维茨,后者最初在纽墨西哥州立大学起步,职业生涯尝试传球36次。

以下是全美其他一些可能产生即时影响的真正大一新生的情况。

德克萨斯大学 宽接手 杰梅恩·毕肖普二世 (JERMAINE BISHOP JR.)

毕肖普在周六的模拟赛中留下了深刻印象,以至于德克萨斯大学教练史蒂夫·萨基西安(Steve Sarkisian)赛后告诉记者,“如果几周后他在我们的进攻端扮演重要角色,我一点也不会感到惊讶。”这位来自德克萨斯州威利斯、身高6英尺的接球手根据247Sports综合排名,是他那一届全美第58号整体潜力新星。

阿拉巴马大学 跑卫 特雷肖恩·布朗 (TRAE'SHON BROWN) 和 埃杰·克劳威尔 (EJ CROWELL)

上赛季,阿拉巴马大学在碗赛分区(Bowl Subdivision)球队中的场均码数(104.13)排名第125位,场均冲球码数(3.35)排名第126位。这应该会为该校的大一跑卫创造机会。克劳威尔拥有最好的招募履历,作为前五星潜力球员,他在247Sports综合排名中位列第15位,但一直受限于脚踝伤势。而三星招募球员布朗在季前训练营中的表现足够出色,表明他的实际表现将超过该排名。

迈阿密 OL 杰克逊·坎特韦尔 (JACKSON CANTWELL)

飓风队必须替换进攻线上的四名首发球员,正是这条进攻线帮助他们在上赛季闯入了大学橄榄球季后赛(College Football Playoff)的冠军赛。坎特韦尔应该能立即顶上提供帮助。他来自密苏里州尼克萨(Nixa)高中,是首位被评为盖托雷(Gatorade)年度全美最佳球员的进攻线球员。247Sports综合排名将其列为其同届球员中的总第2名。坎特韦尔曾两次获得州级铅球冠军,是一名天生的截锋,但他的大学生涯可能会在后卫位置上开始。

华盛顿 OT 科迪·格林 (KODI GREENE)

格林已被初步定为华盛顿队赛季初可能的首发左截锋。尽管格林来自华盛顿州伦顿(Renton),但他在加利福尼亚州圣安娜的马特戴(Mater Dei)高中度过了最后2年。247Sports综合排名将格林在进攻截锋中排在第3,在其同届球员中总排第26位。

俄亥俄州立大学 WR 克里斯·亨利二世 (CHRIS HENRY JR.)

如今没有哪所学校比俄亥俄州立大学能培养出这么多未来的NFL接球手了。亨利有望成为 the Buckeyes 队的下一位明星外接手。身高6-5的亨利在俄亥俄州立大学的春季比赛中接球4次,获得96码并贡献一个达阵。247Sports综合排名将其列为总第14位,在接球手中排名第二。在与全美最佳接球手兼海斯曼奖(Heisman Trophy)竞争者杰里迈亚·史密斯(Jeremiah Smith)并肩作战的同时,他应该能直接进入核心角色。亨利是前辛辛那提孟加拉虎队外接手克里斯·亨利之子,后者于2009年去世。

密歇根 RB 萨维翁·希特 (SAVION HITER)

根据247Sports综合排名,希特被评为全美第1名跑卫及其同届球员中的总第12名。他在高中高年级时冲球获得1,455码和25个达阵,此前在初级年级冲球获得1,698码,在二年级冲球获得1,187码。他在季前训练营中留下了足够的印象,足以让他获得一个核心角色,与新队友乔丹·马歇尔(Jordan Marshall)共同出战,后者上赛季冲球获得932码和10个达阵。

在过去两个赛季均取得两位数胜场后,海军学院(Navy)希望更进一步。

这意味着在 12 月 12. 日与陆军学院(Army)的巅峰对决之后,他们仍能参加具有实质意义的比赛。

“我们并不满足于维持或延续已取得的成功,”海军学院教练布莱恩·纽贝里(Brian Newberry)今年夏天告诉记者,“我认为在目前的大学橄榄球界,我们处于一个独特的位置,可以将海军学院橄榄球队带入一个前所未有的领域。”

海军学院进入本赛季时,被视为有望获得那个授予非主要联盟球队的大学橄榄球季后赛(CFP)名额的竞争者。

去年,在图兰大学(Tulane)和詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学(James Madison)成功入围后,有两支非“四大强权”(Power Four)计划的球队获得了 12 队季后赛的名额。图兰大学是以 CFP 排名中“五大联盟”(Group of Five)最高排名的球队身份入围的,而詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学之所以入围,是因为它进入了 CFP 排名,而大西洋沿岸联盟(ACC)冠军杜克大学(Duke)当时未进入排名。

这种情况再次发生的可能性较低,但“六大联盟”(Group of Six)计划中的一支球队肯定能在 12 队对阵表中占据至少一个名额。在太平洋-12联盟(Pac-12)重组为非“四大强权”联盟后,该群体现在被称为“六大联盟”而非“五大联盟”。

尽管在四分卫布莱克·霍瓦斯(Blake Horvath)过去两个赛季冲球至少 1,200 码后,海军学院必须寻找他的替代者,但布拉克顿·伍德森(Braxton Woodson)是一个合格的接替人选,他已经拥有三次职业首发经验。防守端则保留了去年的三名首发球员:马克安东尼·帕克(MarcAnthony Parker)、朱塞佩·塞西(Giuseppe Sessi)和科尔曼·考利(Coleman Cauley)。

海军学院在过去两年中连续击败陆军学院和空军学院,赢得了三军统帅奖杯(Commander In Chief's Trophy)。海军学院刚刚结束了 2025 赛季,在该赛季中取得了 11-2 的战绩,并在美联社最终排名中位列第 23 位。

“我们每年的目标——自从我来到这里起目标就一直没变,就是赢得 CIC No.1, 赢得联盟冠军并参加大学橄榄球季后赛,”后卫霍克·史密斯二世(Hoke Smith II)说道,“这就是我们的目标。这是我们提出的目标。也是我们今年想要实现的。”

以下是其他一些可能竞争季后赛名额的“六大联盟”学校的情况。

博伊西州立大学 (BOISE STATE)

在海斯曼奖亚军兼首轮选秀球员阿什顿·詹蒂(Ashton Jeanty)带领博伊西州立大学获得 2024 年季后赛资格后,野马队(Broncos)的战绩下滑至 9-5,但上赛季仍赢得了山西会议(Mountain West Conference)冠军。现在他们成为了太平洋-12联盟(Pac-12)的一员。进攻后场拥有丰富的经验,四分卫马杜克斯·马德森(Maddux Madsen)以及跑卫迪伦·赖利(Dylan Riley,去年冲球 1,125 码)和赛尔·盖恩斯(Sire Gaines,811 码)全部回归。杰登·弗金-摩根(Jayden Virgin-Morgan)在过去两个赛季中累计完成了 16 次擒杀。在美联社季前 Top 25, 排名中,博伊西州立大学在所有“六大联盟”球队中获得的票数最多,尽管野马队并未进入最终名单。

詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学 (JAMES MADISON)

该计划在库尔特·西格内蒂(Curt Cignetti)的带领下获胜,并在鲍勃·切斯尼(Bob Chesney)的带领下继续获胜。现在切斯尼已离开前往加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA),公爵队(Dukes)将尝试在新教练比利·纳皮尔(Billy Napier)的带领下保持势头。尽管纳皮尔在上赛季中期因战绩 22-23 被佛罗里达大学解雇,但在 2019-21. 年期间,他曾带领路易斯安那-拉法叶特大学连续三个赛季取得两位数胜场。詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学仅有五名首发球员回归,但在如今的转会门户 era. 中,“六大联盟”计划的顶尖球员流向“四大强权”计划并不罕见。一名关键的回归球员是扎克·格林伯格(Zach Greenberg),他是上赛季太阳带会议(Sun Belt)的二队最佳中锋。詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学增加了 39 名转会球员。

孟菲斯

孟菲斯失去了教练瑞安·西尔弗菲尔德(Ryan Silverfield),后者加盟了阿肯色大学,但找到了一个经验丰富的替代者查尔斯·哈夫(Charles Huff)。在2021-24年期间,他在马歇尔大学取得了32-20的战绩;而在他在南密西西比大学执教的唯一一个赛季中,他取得了7-5的记录,而该校在他到来的前一年战绩仅为1-11。他接手的孟菲斯项目在过去三个赛季中合计取得了29-10的战绩。哈夫为孟菲斯的阵容增加了50多名转会球员。J'Mond Tapp在去年为南密西西比大学贡献了$7 \frac{1}{2}$次擒抢后,跟随哈夫来到了孟菲斯。另一名来自南密西西比大学的转会球员是伊恩·福斯特(Ian Foster),他在一年前通过抄截回攻得分两次达阵。

新墨西哥

新墨西哥大学在教练杰森·埃克(Jason Eck)的首年执教中取得了9-4的战绩,打破了连续八个赛季输球的局面,目前势头强劲。埃克的儿子贾克斯顿·埃克(Jaxton Eck)上赛季完成了129次擒抱,被评为山西会议共同年度最佳防守球员。四分卫杰克·莱恩(Jack Layne)在去年投球码数达2,486码,完成13次达阵和10次抄截后回归。莱恩有了新的接球目标特洛伊·奥梅尔(Troy Omeire),奥梅尔在之前效力于德克萨斯大学和亚利桑那州立大学之后,上赛季在内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校(UNLV)完成了31次接球,获得514码和5次达阵。

圣地亚哥州立

幸运·萨顿(Lucky Sutton)回归,他上赛季为圣地亚哥州立大学队贡献了1,297码冲球码数和10次达阵,该队上赛季最终战绩为9-4。四分卫杰登·德内加尔(Jayden Denegal)曾是密歇根大学的替补,一年前他为阿兹特克队投球1,807码,完成9次达阵和8次抄截。圣地亚哥州立大学争夺Pac-12冠军的机会取决于其如何重新调整防线,在去年完成三次零封后,该防线目前仅有2名首发球员回归。

UNLV

在2014-22,年经历了连续九个输球赛季后,UNLV在过去三个赛季中合计取得了30-12的战绩。在教练丹·穆伦(Dan Mullen)的第二个赛季,反叛者队有理由相信他们今年能更进一步。Jai'Den "Jet" Thomas在过去三个赛季中冲球2,457码并完成31次达阵。Thomas是季前入选山西会议全明星阵容的5人之一,其他成员包括进攻线球员奥斯汀·博伊德(Austin Boyd)、接球手塔肖恩·里昂斯(Taeshaun Lyons)、防守线球员卢卡斯·孔蒂(Lucas Conti)和安全卫杰克·波普(Jake Pope)。UNLV失去了获得山西会议年度最佳进攻球员的四分卫安东尼·科兰德雷亚(Anthony Colandrea),后者转投内布拉斯加大学,但目前有亚历克斯·奥尔吉(Alex Orji)和来自奥本大学的转会球员杰克逊·阿诺德(Jackson Arnold)在竞争接替他的位置。奥尔吉的职业生涯始于密歇根大学。

Who's in? Who wins?

美联社对大学橄榄球季后赛过早的预测

作者:埃迪·佩尔斯 (Eddie Pells)

美联社

每个人都想要——准确地说,是要求——的季后赛,现在已成为大学橄榄球的一项固定制度。

最新的几项调整旨在向圣母大学以及某些知名联盟的中级冠军(例如去年的杜克大学和 ACC 联盟)倾斜;而在这项计算中受损的是那些小球队,他们进入对阵图的机会,更不用说赢得一两场比赛的机会,变得更加渺茫。

即便有了这些调整,随着大学橄榄球季后赛进入 12 支球队参赛制度的第三个赛季,有一件事感觉依然没变:在美国(或许也是在世界上)所有主要体育赛事中,它在决定谁能争夺冠军的方式上,依然占据着最不透明、最缺乏共识的“市场垄断”地位。

这仍然是一个一个球队 10-2 战绩与另一个球队 10-2 战绩含义完全不同的系统(参见 2025 年版本的俄克拉荷马大学和范德比尔特大学);一个球队输给另一个球队的意义,在发生时与四个月后可能截然不同(参见去年的迈阿密大学与圣母大学之乱);而且每周的排名节目声称能揭示局势走向,但最终反而可能播种更多混乱(参见上赛季所有播出 CFP 排名的节目)。

尽管如此,仍将有 12 支球队进入季后赛名单,比赛将于 12 月 18. 起在四个校园场地拉开帷幕。两支球队将于明年 1 月 25. 前往拉斯维加斯争夺冠军。最终将有一支球队赢得一切,并与印第安纳大学和俄亥俄州立大学一起,成为 12 队季后赛 era. 的第三位冠军。

以下是对结果的最佳猜测(数字表示预测的种子顺位):

战斗爱尔兰队(Fighting Irish)是 2024, 12, 年的亚军,他们找回了去年大部分成员,尽管去年排名第 11 位,但仍处于边缘地带且未能进入锦标赛。CFP 的高管们解决了这个问题——如果圣母大学排在前 12 名,就必须获得一个季后赛名额。但随着顶级角卫伦纳德·摩尔(Leonard Moore)和四分卫 C.J. 卡尔(C.J. Carr)的回归,无需担心勉强挤进名单的问题。

是的,七叶树队(Buckeyes)失去了 11 名进入 NFL 的球员,但这应该提醒人们该项目引进的人才水平。如果赛季进展完美,四分卫朱利安·赛因(Julian Sayin)和外接手杰里迈亚·史密斯(Jeremiah Smith)都可能在 12 月出现在纽约,成为海斯曼奖(Heisman Trophy)的决赛入围者。

去年的亚军拥有足够的赛程空间和球员储备,可以减轻 11 月 7 日可能输给圣母大学所带来的影响。达里安·门萨(Darian Mensah)去年在杜克大学时传球码数接近 4,000 码,随后他离开了(有五场失利的)ACC 冠军队,寻求更好的发展前景,想必也是为了赚更多钱。

感觉 CFP 前四名种子队中最后一个可用的轮空周,将取决于长角牛队(Longhorns)与乔治亚大学之间的 SEC 冠军赛,这两支球队在过去几年里并未完全达到外界的期待。当然,德克萨斯大学的所有关注点都围绕着阿奇·曼宁(Arch Manning),今年他得到了很多帮助,试图弥补去年长角牛队错过季后赛的遗憾。

5-8:俄勒冈州、印第安纳州、德克萨斯理工大学、乔治亚州

■ 拥有丹特·摩尔的鸭子队在今年的美联社季前投票中排名第2,在11月7日对阵俄亥俄州大学的比赛前,他们可能会维持这一排名。

■ 很难不看好印第安纳州的库尔特·西格内蒂,即使没有费尔南多·门多萨。

■ 威尔·哈蒙德准备好了吗?在布兰登·索斯比的赌博丑闻可能削弱原本稳固的德克萨斯理工大学阵容之后,他最好已经准备好了。

乔治亚州就是乔治亚州。人们过去在谈论阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州以及东南部联盟(SEC)中每一个伟大项目时都会这么说,而该联盟目前正处于连续三年未能获得全国冠军的干旱期。

9-12:路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)、俄克拉荷马州、弗吉尼亚州、南佛罗里达州 ■ LSU的莱恩·基芬有很多标签,“优秀的教练”就在名单的前列。

■ 防守能力可以延续到客场,四分卫约翰·马蒂尔是一名擅长奔跑的悍将。俄克拉荷马大学(OU)的赛程(客场对阵密歇根、客场对阵乔治亚、对阵德克萨斯)非常艰苦,但如果你能赢下一两场,这反而能为你带来成功。

■ 重复去年的弗吉尼亚州选择,因为这基本上是同一支经验丰富的球队,他们去年凭借同样宽松的赛程几乎赢得了大西洋沿岸联盟(ACC)的冠军。

■ ESPN表示,在去年“五大联盟”(Group of Five)名单中(现在随着太平洋-12联盟的加入变为G6)拥有剩余参赛资格的76名全联盟球员中,只有23人回到了原学校。美国联盟(The American)可能是一个人才输送联盟,但南佛罗里达大学(USF)可能是其中最顶尖的。

被忽视者与泪水

在南佛罗里达州跳过五六支球队进入12强名单后,像阿拉巴马州、密西西比大学、杨百翰大学以及可能的南加州大学这样的边缘球队会大喊不公,要求改革,甚至可能威胁要提起诉讼。……在经历更多被忽视的情况,以及乔治亚州在输掉联盟冠军赛后失去首轮轮空位置之后,东南部联盟(SEC)最终可能会同意将大学足球季后赛(CFP)扩军至24支球队。

CFP早期的冷门?

这个预测如何:俄克拉荷马州在客场击败德克萨斯理工大学和俄亥俄州大学。……南佛罗里达州无法与乔治亚州竞争,这将进一步引发要求将G6完全排除在外的呼声,除非他们通过排名获得CFP席位。

……圣母大学在糖果碗半决赛中负于德克萨斯州,而俄勒冈州在橙色碗的另一场半决赛中客场击败飓风队,赢得了决赛席位。

最终获胜者是……

俄勒冈州在拉斯维加斯以24-20击败德克萨斯州,使十大联盟连续四次夺冠,并让鸭子队获得了那座梦寐以求的冠军奖杯。四分卫丹特·摩尔在勉强输掉另一座奖杯——海斯曼奖(输给曼宁)后,终于拿到了全国冠军奖杯。

走进田纳西州的NIL“洗车式”拍摄日:一场多媒体盛宴

作者:特蕾莎·M·沃克 (Teresa M. Walker) 美联社

田纳西州诺克斯维尔 —— 回到2000年,对于一家企业来说,在Vol Network广播节目中获得一个广告位的成本相当简单:安排两条30秒的商业广告,在纪念册上买个广告位,然后一套赛季门票就到手了。

“我们的世界现在完全不像那样了,”在田纳西大学担任Learfield代表的布兰登·帕克斯(Brandon Parks)说道,他在毕业于该校后协助安排了其中一些交易。

在姓名、形象、肖像权(NIL)era, 开启五年后,大学体育产业确实已大相径庭。运动员现在可以像几乎任何其他名人一样获得报酬,从与当地汉堡店的微小交易,到明星四分卫数百万美元的合同,而且其中许多协议现在都得到了校园内人员的协助,甚至是由他们积极促成的。

与数百所学校合作的多媒体与赞助巨头Learfield,向美联社提供了一个深入了解NIL媒体“洗车式”拍摄日的机会,这种拍摄日旨在为公司和运动员简化商业广告的制作。

今年7月下旬,田纳西大学在秋季举办的多次此类活动中的第一次,涵盖了29个不同品牌和约50名橄榄球运动员。

[...OMITTED...]

到处都是摄像机、麦克风和剧本

可以将这次活动想象成类似于“返校之夜”,人们访问不同的房间以会见不同的人,其中许多人承担着某种多媒体角色。

身着官方制服的球员们在室内练习场进行拍照——旁边放着一袋薯片等道具以便快速取用——然后前往设有帘子的弹出式房间,录制将在比赛日使用的内容。

在楼上,来自 Vol Network 的工作人员正在采访球员,为足球广播储备素材;而在走廊另一端的佩顿·曼宁(Peyton Manning)房间里,球员们轮流为 Uber Eats、Pilot、Food City 超市、一家银行和一家屋顶公司录制宣传片。

这里的道具包括鸡柳,当然,还有一只橙子。

在虚拟现实实验室(Virtual Reality Lab)里,房间内挂着绿色幕布,并配备了提词器、灯光和摄像机。球员们轮流阅读一系列公司的广告。有一点很明确:对于身着官方制服的运动员来说,在学校的认可下拍摄商业广告比以往任何时候都更容易。

这一切都是田纳西大学与 Learfield 经过数月规划的结果,后者在全国各地的大学中都设有嵌入式员工。帕克斯(Parks)表示,在 7 月那两天,Learfield 在田纳西大学部署了一个 11 人的团队。

“这简直是一场大型制作,”帕克斯说,“他们组织得非常有条理。他们准备了广播剧本、电视剧本,以及我们将使用合作伙伴提供的道具进行的拍照环节。他们在这些方面考虑得非常周到,我迫不及待想看到这一切变为现实。”

球迷们很快就能看到这些媒体日的成果。在田纳西大学制作的内容将在 8 月开始陆续出现。

NIL “洗车式”媒体日实施五年后规模日益扩大

对于各地大学运动员而言,涉及 NIL 的商业运作就是这样:上学、训练、完成要求的 NIL 任务、打造个人品牌。

“我们实际上参加很多活动,”路易斯维尔大学四分卫林肯·基恩霍尔茨(Lincoln Kienholz)说,据报道他与 adidas 签署了一份六位数的协议,“我得去一家建筑公司拍个短视频。在 7 月 4 日独立日之前的一周,我在路易斯维尔纯血马协会(Louisville Thoroughbred Society)拍了一个……下周还要参加卡片签名活动。”

田纳西大学进攻线球员沙穆拉德·乌马罗夫(Shamurad Umarov)在录制广告词时与 Learfield 合作伙伴服务高级经理杰西卡·莱夫海特(Jessica Leifheit)交谈,此次录制是他与 Nik Bell 和 Spencer Rudder(两人均为 Learfield 合作伙伴解决方案协调员)签署的 NIL 协议的一部分。

Opendorse 是一个为运动员提供 NIL 变现的平台,同时也与许多学校合作。该平台预测,2026-27 年的 NIL 支出将达到 45 亿美元 billion。到目前为止,最受欢迎的协议是基于赛季长期合同的“媒体创作”安排——例如运动员拍摄一段谈论产品的视频。

7 月在田纳西大学举行的活动是 Learfield 合作伙伴学校本秋季计划开展的 58 场此类 NIL 媒体日中的第一场,涉及约 1,500 名运动员。在整个学年以及所有其他体育项目中,Learfield 预计此类品牌与运动员见面日将多达 200 天。

Learfield 内容总监格兰特·琼斯(Grant Jones)表示,公司两年前在俄亥俄州立大学举行了首次媒体日。该公司还与 Big Sky Conference 等较小规模的联盟合作,并发现规模更小的学校也倾向于采用这种一站式设置来制作 NIL 内容。

“我认为在接下来的两到三年里,我们将看到这种情况在总量上每年增加到 300, 甚至 300, 400 天,”琼斯说。

琼斯曾在 NFL 球员协会工作,该协会也会为球员举行自己的媒体日。他表示,通过重复签署装备和面对镜头,球员们变得非常熟练。

“坦率地说,我们想做的是许多职业联赛多年来一直在做的事情,并将 NIL 以及校园里发生的一切专业化,”琼斯说。

大学橄榄球 2026

当薪水开始像职业球员的收入时

一名大学左截锋可以获得 400万美元 在代言合同,但在 NFL 中却不行

泰坦队第六年球员、左截锋丹·摩尔二世(Dan Moore Jr.)谈到他如何看待 NIL 资金重塑大学比赛:“再过五年,我们可能会看到大学橄榄球变成半职业化。” GEORGE WALKER IV / AP

作者:埃迪·佩尔斯(Eddie Pells) 美联社

田纳西泰坦队的左截锋丹·摩尔(Dan Moore)可以一只手数完他作为职业球员签署的所有赞助协议:在匹兹堡钢人队期间的几次见面会机会,以及一家通过提供一些烧烤工具来换取他代言的烤架公司。

百万美元级别的交易?根本不存在,尤其是对于处于他这个位置的球员来说。如果他还在大学里——一名有能力让球队成为全国竞争者的天才进攻线球员——情况可能会有所不同。

“NIL 启动才五年,”即将进入 NFL 第六个赛季的摩尔说道,“再过五年,我们可能会看到大学橄榄球变成半职业化。”

简而言之,这就是推动大学体育新时代的那个并非秘密的秘密。这是一场被重建的商业模式,旨在允许球员利用其姓名、形象和肖像权(NIL)的名气来获利;它以资金并非薪水,而是运动员通过赞助协议提供服务的报酬为掩护,向运动员支付天价费用。

这就是许多引起轰动的、支付给大学球员的所谓“第三方 NIL”六位数或七位数款项能够真正符合 NCAA 规则手册的方式。而这本规则手册——尽管近年来发生了快速变化——仍拒绝放弃那个逐渐过时的观念,即大学运动员不是那些仅仅因为出场比赛就能获得报酬的职业选手。

其中一项与其他的不同……或者其实一样?

丹佛野马队的第九年 NFL 右截锋迈克·麦格林切(Mike McGlinchey)拥有一份价值 5200万美元 保证金额的合同,但他没有赞助协议。这使他成为了 NFL 进攻线球员中的大多数,这些人要么不需要通过额外工作来增加收入,要么名气不足以获得除一两个本地协议之外的更多机会。

在 Sportico 列出的 20 笔最大 NFL 代言交易中——该名单以酋长队近端锋特拉维斯·凯尔塞(Travis Kelce)的 3200万美元 起首——没有一笔属于进攻线球员。

但在大学里,有乔丹·西顿(Jordan Seaton),这位五星级左截锋曾是迪昂·桑德斯(Deion Sanders)在科罗拉多大学招募的最重要球员之一,随后他离开水牛队前往路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)就读。在那里,在东南部联盟(SEC)的核心地带,据报道西顿通过为一家全国连锁药店、一家快餐店、一家个人财务公司以及其他机构代言,赚到了 400万美元。

这与麦格林切在五年前 NIL 出现时的设想相去甚远;他在大学球员获得报酬的时代开始之前就早已从圣母大学毕业。

“我原以为 NIL 的意思是南本德的一家本地福特经销商把进攻线球员放在广告牌上,并给我们一辆卡车开六个月,”他说,“现在,NIL 意味着‘我们有资金池,而持有最大支票簿的人将会获胜’。他们利用姓名-形象-肖像权打开了闸门,以此来说‘我们将支付最高金额来抢到这个孩子’。”

在 20 位收入最高的 NFL 代言者中,包括四分卫吉诺·史密斯(Geno Smith,$1.500 万)、萨姆·达诺德(Sam Darnold,100万美元)和德肖恩·沃森(Deshaun Watson,$750,000)。

根据追踪大学 NIL 交易的 On3 网站(这些交易均未由学校披露),所有这些金额都低于前 10 名大学球员通过赞助获得的收入。这份名单包括了西顿,但没有包括大学橄榄球中最广为人知的名字:阿奇·曼宁(Arch Manning),据报道他今年将报酬削减至 $2.500 万,以帮助德克萨斯大学加强其阵容。

查普曼大学副教授、数字营销专家尼克拉斯·迈尔(Niklas Myhr)承认,所有这些 NIL 协议中都存在某种“心照不宣”的成分,但他也认为,其中一些数字是由于他所谓的“不成熟市场”而产生的。

“基本上,对于 20 岁的业余运动员,并不存在像运动鞋那样成熟的市场,”他说。“所以这基本上是在对市场进行逆向工程。”

大学体育委员会试图遏制这种“无法无天”的状态

有一个负责执行规则的机构,其目标是为这场消费狂潮设立护栏,而这种狂潮因转会门户(transfer portal)的出现而加剧,该门户鼓励球员向不同学校寻求更好的报价。

成立 14 个月的大学体育委员会(College Sports Commission, CSC)的首要任务之一,就是确保与学校合作的公司——即“关联实体”——向球员支付的金额,与他人因提供相同服务而可能获得的金额相比,处于“公平的补偿范围”之内。CSC 还负责核实这些公司是否将运动员的 NIL 用于“正当的商业目的”。

——也就是说,是为了盈利而推广向公众提供的商品和服务,而不是为了未来使用而持有或“囤积” 权利,或者仅仅让球员出席活动握手。

当被问及球员是否真的在获得除出席和比赛之外的报酬时,东南部联盟(SEC)专员格雷格·桑基(Greg Sankey)表示:“正当的商业目的和适当的补偿范围评估,是回答这个问题的关键部分。事实上,签署这些协议的人需要回答这些问题。”

销售鸡肉、手表的百万美元协议

与非关联实体(其定义一直存在争议)签署的协议不受同样的审查。理论上,如果这些协议确实是在运动员与与学校无关的企业之间签署的,那么它们仅受市场承受能力的限制。

当被问及品牌如何证明在一名相对不知名的代言人身上花费如此之多是合理的时,迈尔说:“我认为他们的论点是,作为一名明星球员来到这所知名大学,仅凭这种强力影响力就能使其 变得有价值。他们认为自己可以预测这名运动员的未来价值值得 100万美元, 或 400万美元。但如果要将此()转化为引人入胜的故事讲述,这有些牵强。”

虽然酋长队四分卫帕特里克·马霍姆斯(Patrick Mahomes) 3000万美元 代言费中的很大一部分来自他那极具辨识度的 State Farm 电视广告,但大多数大学最高薪的代言人则较难被发现。

四分卫达里安·门萨(Darian Mensah)与迈阿密大学(这是他三年内就读的第三所学校)签署的重点 协议是一家奢侈手表公司。根据 Sportico 的数据,门萨的 价值被认为高达 $6.500 万,这比除 9 名现役 NFL 球员之外的所有球员获得的代言费都要高。

在西顿(Seaton)的少数几项 协议中,有一项是他通过社交媒体向其 77,000 Instagram 粉丝表达对 Raising Cane's 的喜爱——这是一家根植于巴吞鲁日地区且与路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)有深厚联系的鸡肉店。这有助于解释西顿的收入如何增长到与利薇·邓恩(Livvy Dunne)大致相当的水平,后者是前 LSU 体操运动员,拥有 509 万 粉丝,被认为是第三方 短暂历史中收入最高的女性。

帮助球员寻找第三方 协议的 Open-dorse 首席执行官史蒂夫·登顿(Steve Denton)认为,这个市场是准确的,因为“大学运动员在他们的社区中拥有如此巨大的影响力,以至于他们的表现实际上比网红或创作者更好。”

“品牌方渴望与大学运动员合作,因为体育是那些能让人们慢下来并吸引注意力的事情之一,”登顿说。

联邦法律能解决这个问题吗?

大学体育领导者深知第三方 成本失控的问题,目前正在华盛顿寻求一项能够解决 涉及的部分透明度问题的方案。《保护》法案中的一项条款

正在美国参议院等待投票的《大学体育法案》(College Sports Act)将使学校每年可向运动员支付的收入分成金额增加一倍多,达到近 4900万美元。

这笔资金的不同之处在于,由于它不被视为第三方 NIL(姓名、形象、肖像权),因此不受 CSC 的审查。根据 NCAA 的规则,这笔钱在技术上不能被视为薪水,但通过将其从第三方 NIL 规则中剔除,就无需再证明这些款项是合法的 支付。

行业领导者认为,剩下的将是一部分“有机”的第三方 协议,例如西顿(Seaton)与 Raising Cane’s 签署的协议。这些协议据推测将与学校雇佣的、目前负责为球员撮合交易的多媒体权利(MMR)合作伙伴的任何现有安排无关。

Playfly Sports 是一家致力于为球员和学校寻找交易机会的 MMR 公司,其成员乔恩·比肖普(Jon Bishop)认为,该法案与其说是对支出设定上限,不如说是在为这种有机的 创造一条全新的、受欢迎的通道。

“有些品牌……很早就参与进来了,但许多品牌在起步时会想:‘我不想因为私下给某人钱而登上头条’之类的事情,”比肖普说。“所以,所有这些因素将开始构建一个能够真正运作,而且我认为会运作良好的市场。”

大学体育薪酬的漫长历史催生 NIL

多年来,大学运动员在争取获得报酬的道路上走得艰辛且坎坷

1995.年,在加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)赢得 NCAA 男子篮球冠军赛并击败阿肯色大学后,埃德·奥班农(Ed O'Bannon)在庆祝。2014年由奥班农发起的集体诉讼为如今的 NIL era. 奠定了基础。ERIC DRAPER / AP

美联社

如今主导大学体育格局的姓名、形象、肖像权(NIL)报酬的引入,绝非运动员首次因参赛获得补偿。几乎从一开始,他们就能够获得火车票、一些零用钱和奖学金。几十年来,许多资金是以私下交易的形式交给球员及其家人的。现在,这些资金得到了 NCAA 的认可,但这并不意味着大学体育就真正变得纯洁了。以下是大学体育运动员报酬历史的简要回顾:

早期阶段

NCAA 成立于 1906, 年,这是在总统西奥多·罗斯福的推动下,旨在解决大学美式足球中时而致命的暴力问题,并制定一些参赛资格标准。在规则手册演变成涵盖数百页的复杂文档之前,运动员会接受现金或火车票作为前往特定学校的诱饵。有时,学费、食宿费用也会被覆盖。极少有人因此陷入麻烦。

业余时代

1948, 年,NCAA 出台了《健全准则》(Sanity Code),试图遏制当时已变得失控的招募诱饵洪流,这些诱饵旨在吸引那些本应是业余运动员的人才。该组织最初反对体育奖学金,认为这违反了业余精神。但 NCAA 在 1956, 年将奖学金的授予标准化,为最终的变革打开了大门。此举的部分目的是为了消除在招募中起作用的现金和特权,但这从未真正消失。

运动员获胜,混乱随之而来

当加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)的前篮球明星埃德·奥班农在 2014年就其肖像被用于电子游戏的一场集体诉讼中获胜时,这标志着 NCAA 在法庭上遭遇的一系列失败之首。这些失败改变了大学体育,并表明 NCAA 对于“球员应从他们建立的产业中获利”这一理念缺乏准备。奥班农的胜利为运动员领取用于支付奖学金之外的生活成本津贴扫清了道路。11 年后,源自另一场诉讼的豪斯和解协议(House settlement)获得批准,允许学校每年与球员分享体育收入,本赛季的金额高达 $21.300 万。它还使第三方姓名、形象和肖像权(NIL)交易的概念合法化,允许学校远远突破该上限,并导致某些美式足球球队的工资单达到了 5000万美元。

接下来的走向

一项正在等待参议院投票的法案希望将豪斯和解协议中规定的许多规则写入法律。但该法律最重要的部分可能是将薪资上限翻倍至每所学校近 4900万美元,希望通过将资金从第三方 NIL 转移到上限之内,为学校的支出设定一个更现实的限制。

如果该法案未能通过,最大的联盟——东南部联盟(SEC)和十大联盟(Big Ten)——可能会尝试建立一个框架以维持大学体系的统一。处于危险之中的将是奥运项目和女子体育项目,因为这些项目依赖于美式足球和篮球产生的资金运行。如果没有成本控制,整个行业最终可能会寻求私募股权和潜在的超级联赛来注入资金。

Across US, a race to defend vote


Mail-in ballots are processed at the Chicago Board of Elections in 2024. ANTONIO PEREZ/TRIBUNE

WHAT'S NEXT? U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has scheduled a Sept. 3 hearing on whether to issue a longer-term injunction blocking the new mail-in voting rule. Legal experts expect the challenges to the Postal Service rule and Trump's executive order could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Questioning legality, judge blocks Trump's order on mail voting

By Rick Pearson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

President Donald Trump's efforts to have the U.S. Postal Service become the final arbiter of who can receive and cast a mail-in ballot have been temporarily blocked by a federal judge who said it was “practically impossible” for states to comply with a “likely unconstitutional regulation” in time for the Nov. 3 general election.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston on Thursday night placed a 14-day hold on the Postal Service implementing a March executive order from Trump that gives the USPS power to regulate mail-in voting for the midterm elections.

It is also the latest move in what has been a confusing series of legal

In DC, thousands assail court ruling that could limit ballot box access

By Matt Brown and Matthew Junkroski ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Thousands of protesters rallied Friday on the National Mall in support of voting rights and racial justice ahead of the midterm elections, following a wave of changes to voting laws and redistricting that civil rights groups have condemned as detrimental to Black Americans.

The 2026 “Defend the Vote” March on Washington, organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, echoes the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 march. The event follows the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark April decision in Louisiana v. Callais that reinterpreted key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, allowing

No trial for man with long list of ties to mob

'Unusual' deal restricts court from diving into defendant's background

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Robert “Bobby” Dominic has spent a lifetime on Grand Avenue, but always seemingly behind the scenes.

Known for his connections to Richard's Bar, the old-school tavern where the city's smoking ordinances never seem to be enforced, Dominic has reputed Outfit ties that go back many years. FBI records reported he once was a driver for notorious boss Joey "The Clown" Lombardo. The Tribune has reported he allegedly ran pornography and gambling interests for the syndicate. And sources say he has stayed close with current mob leadership.

But Dominic has never been a household name. He has no notable criminal record. And as the old bosses were felled by a series of FBI investigations, he's continued to quietly hold court at Richard's, which is owned by his sister — on paper at least.

So it was fitting that when Dominic appeared at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on Friday to plead guilty to a tax charge, there was no big media stir. To the outside observer, the hearing for the soft-spoken man with the graying mustache may have seemed like any other, save for the FBI agents from the public corruption squad sitting in the back.

Then the judge looked closely at the deal that had been struck, which included a provision to proceed straight to sentencing and recommend a short term of probation.

Nepali, Tibetan communities in Chicago come together to offer support following devastating Himalayan floods that have left thousands missing

‘We need to help’

By Finnegan Belleau | CHICAGO TRIBUNE

As word of the devastating floods in Nepal and Tibet began to spread around the world, Nepali leaders in Chicago held a virtual emergency meeting Wednesday night. Over a crowded Facebook Messenger call, they discussed how to best coordinate fundraising efforts for disaster relief.

Thousands of immigrants from Nepal have settled across Chicago and its suburbs, starting nonprofits, opening restaurants and operating businesses. The first-ever Nepali street festival was held Aug. 15, where festivalgoers came to see displays of Nepal's art, music and food in the Edgewater neighborhood.

Now, those leaders are using the strength of their community to organize action.

In attendance during that online meeting was Shrini-was Kabra, vice president at the Nepali American Center. He said people in the call were from many different organizations and had separate goals, but they agreed to send fundraising money to Nepali government disaster accounts together as one group as they planned traditional and online fundraisers.

Eventually, Kabra said, they would like to collect material goods as well. "Everyone agreed that we need to work together, and we need to help in whatever way we can," he said.

Nepal and China raced to respond to catastrophic flash floods this week that killed nearly 600 people and left almost 2,500 missing, according to the latest numbers released by the governments and rescue groups. Rescuers on the Nepal-China border were pulling out survivors caked in dark brown mud and helicopters lifted stranded people to safety.

The rescue efforts included a team that rappelled into a

'STRAIGHT TALK'

Country icon remembered in her own words across numerous visits to Chicago

By Kori Rumore CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Dolly Parton told the crowd at her sold-out concert at the Chicago Theatre on May 8, 2008, that when it was her time, she hoped to drop dead in the middle of a song.

“That way, y’all could say, I was with her the night she died,” Parton said.

Sadly, that dream of Parton's was not fulfilled. She died at a Nashville, Tennessee, cancer center earlier this week at the age of 80. But so many others were with her during her lifetime. In the more than 7,600 times Parton's name appeared in the Tribune, it's clear she remained authentic to her rural roots through song, film, entrepreneurship and more. She was also a driven businesswoman whose many successful — and others less so — endeavors brought her through Chicago numerous times.

Despite her outward appearance, Parton was never one to be underestimated.

One month after a 29-year-old Parton was named Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year in October 1975, Tribune country music columnist Jack Hurst described the newly solo artist as “a vivacious Tennessee mountain girl who wears mountainous piles of hair and gaudy clothes that accentuates her considerable physical charms.

“In the resultant glitter, one sometimes forgets that she is a prodigiously talented singer-songwriter who possesses a background fully as homespun and fundamentalist as that of Wilma Lee Cooper. ... Her voice and style have retained the powerful sense of sincerity and goodwill that are primary traits of noncommercial gospel music.”

Here's a look back at Parton's time in and around Chicago through the decades — and how she was covered by the Tribune.

APRIL 28,1977

Tribune music critic Lynn Van Matre — who had been critical of Parton's appearance and crossover into pop music — called the first of Parton's sold-out performances at the Ivanhoe Theater "pure delight."

“She’s on her way somewhere, and I hope she doesn’t change too much more before she gets there,” Van Matre wrote. “Right now, Parton has managed to break out of the old, strictly country harness a bit, yet retain her charm.”

Parton's setlist included "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors" and "My Tennessee Mountain Home."

"If you liked my show, tell all your friends," Parton told the crowd. "And if you didn't, just keep your big mouth shut."

Liz Smith wrote in her column just one month later, "PREDICTION: A year from now I want you to remember these words — Dolly Parton! ... What a big hunk of talent."

AUGUST 1977

Hurst asked Parton, in an interview before another local show, if she had ever dreamed of being as popular as she had become.

"You know, you can think yourself sick, or you can think yourself poor. You can think yourself havin' a horrible marriage, or you can make it work. If you're sick, you can think yourself well," Parton said. "Anything I want, or want to come true, I just visualize it happenin'. So I just think it. And I ain't near where I'm goin', because I ain't near where I've envisioned myself as goin'. ... I'm goin' anywhere I please. Not just for vanity's sake, I just want to give all I can. I'm gonna think myself as big as I can get."

OCTOBER 1977

Why the glamorous wigs? Parton told Hurst: “I wanted this big-haired image. If you have any talent, people are gonna overlook it unless you’ve got somethin’ to get attention. ... Because

— you know — there were certain parts of me that were extreme, anyhow. So I thought, 'Well, I'll just decorate everything around it.'

“But it was really hard on my hair. I decided to use wigs for convenience. That way, I wouldn't have to carry somebody on the road with me to do my hair. I could have the wigs pre-set, and since they're synthetic, they wouldn't lose their curl like human hair does.”

On a typical monthlong tour, Parton said she usually took along 20 to 25 different wigs.

Parton's own hair — what she called “dingy lookin’ blond” — was “baby-fine.”

NOVEMBER 1977

Parton was physically barred from the Merchandise Mart studios of WMAQ radio after its general manager, Burt Sherwood, found out she appeared on WGN radio and was interviewed by Roy Leonard (who just happened to share Parton's Jan. 19 birth-date).

“Sherwood hit the roof,” Tribune columnist Gary Deeb wrote. “He theorized that since WMAQ is a full-time country outlet, Parton should limit her on-air appearances to only that station during her Chicago stay.

“And so, under direct orders from Sherwood, the WMAQ air staff immediately stopped all mention of Dolly’s Wednesday night concert at the Auditorium Theatre, and a live Parton interview with deejay Fred Sanders was canceled.”

JULY 16, 1978

Van Matre said Parton "has lost none of the vulnerability that makes her so disarming," after a performance at the Auditorium Theatre.

“For while Parton’s Southern-accented soprano voice can and frequently does sound fragile and tender, the overall impression she gives is one of strength: her songs are often those of a woman open to emotion, to pain, yet they are also the songs of a survivor,” Van Matre wrote.

The Country Music Association named Parton Entertainer of the Year in October 1978.

DECEMBER 1980

Parton's big-screen debut arrived in the comedy "9 to 5." Parton and screen veterans Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda played secretaries to boss Dabney Coleman. Tribune critic Gene Siskel was mesmerized meeting her for the first time.

"It's not wrong to call her a zaftig Marilyn Monroe," he wrote. "There's that same radiant glow that marks someone special, that marks a star."

Parton explained to Siskel why she thought her style of acting resonated with movie critics: "Maybe it's because I'm not polished, so that I come across as a real person, rather than as someone who's been studying a role or been coached. It's like I'm more of a person than a part."

Siskel gave the film just 2½ stars (which he also gave her follow-up film, 1982's "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Burt Reynolds, and 1989's "Steel Magnolias").

"The biggest disappointment is that this Jane Fonda comedy about a trio of secretaries out to get their boss doesn't have more bite," he wrote.

Parton's "9 to 5" theme song for the movie, however, became the first No. 1 pop record of her career, and was nominated for an Academy Award. The song won two Grammy Awards: Best Country Song and Best Female Country Performance.

MAY 1987

Before a performance at the Rosemont Horizon, Parton told the Tribune about the three people in her life who keep her grounded: Carl Dean, her husband; July Ogle, her “inseparable” best friend since they were 7 years old; and Sandy Gallin, her longtime manager and business partner.

"Some people need to be with each other all the time for whatever reason — insecurity or just a need to be together. I can't speak for other marriages, but we don't need that," Parton said. "Carl is a very independent person, and I'm very independent. He's not jealous of me, I'm not jealous of him."

Dean died in 2025 after almost 60 years of marriage with Parton.

JULY-AUGUST 1991

Parton and James Woods (portraying a Chicago Sun-Times reporter) were in Lemont, in the extreme southwest corner of Cook County, to film "Straight Talk." The village's Main Street and Budnik's Pharmacy were used to represent a small Arkansas town where Parton's character, Shirlee Kenyon — a former dance teacher who moved to Chicago to portray a psychologist on a radio talk show — was originally from.

Siskel gave his highest rating of any Parton film he reviewed: 3 stars.

"My only wish is that Woods and Parton had more scenes together as ‘Straight Talk’ wraps up its story much too quickly," Siskel wrote. "But wanting a movie to be longer is some kind of compliment, too."

FEBRUARY 1993

At the time, Whitney Houston's cover of Parton's "I Will Always Love You" for 1992's "The Body-guard" broke the record for longest-running No. 1 single in the history of the pop hit charts.

"It was No. 1 by me (on the country chart) in the early '70s, No. 1 by me again in the early '80s and now it's No. 1 in the early '90s — only this time it's big time," Parton told Hurst. "I'll always love Whitney Houston. She has made me rich."

There was talk that Parton would star as the host of a Chicago cable cooking show on CBS called “Dixie Fixin’s,” but it never got out of the planning stage.

JAN. 19, 2011

The first national tour of “9 to 5: The Musical” — based on the 1980 movie — stopped in Chicago. Parton wrote the musical’s score and lyrics, and she welcomed theatergoers to the production.

"I'm the face of the clock," she told Tribune critic Chris Jones. "I talk about the 1970s over the vamp of '9 to 5."

Parton was in the audience, too, for the show's premiere, which just happened to be on her 65th birthday.

“I find Chicago to be very alive and exciting,” she said. “I think this is a good place for plays.”

AUG. 7, 2016

Parton spent her sold-out Ravinia show — her last concert in the Chicago area — talking about her modest roots and reconciling them with the outsize character she had created for herself.

“Yet at her most earnest and least serious, singing proudly of ‘My Tennessee Mountain Home,’ parading out her ‘sexy cowboy assistant,’ or competing with a chorus of cicadas on an a cappella ‘Precious Memories,’ Parton’s enthusiasm and energy never waned,” freelance critic Josh Klein wrote.

Ex-Loretto exec to remain behind bars


Dr. Anosh Ahmed, former chief operating officer at Loretto Hospital, on April 30, 2020. BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

After two years overseas, former Loretto Hospital executive Anosh Ahmed will remain jailed for now as he awaits trial in two cases alleging he bilked money from the West Side safety-net facility and later ran a massive COVID-19 testing scam.

Ahmed, who was living in Dubai when the charges came down and was arrested last year in Serbia, was brought back to Chicago this week after dropping his extradition fight.

His first court appearance Friday afternoon lasted 16 minutes in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Young Kim.

Ahmed appeared calm as he stood before Kim in an orange jail outfit and slip-ons and Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur walked through both sets of charges against him. The most severe of the counts against him carry a 20-year prison sentence and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines if convicted.

Ahmed kept his hands clasped behind his back and spoke only to confirm that he understood his basic rights, the charges and the possible penalties he could face if convicted. Throughout the hearing, Kim addressed him as “Dr. Ahmed.”

MacArthur said prosecutors were seeking to have Ahmed detained pending trial. His defense attorney, Dan Webb, said Ahmed would waive his right to a detention hearing for now, but could raise the issue of bond at a later date.

Webb entered a plea of not guilty on Ahmed's behalf on the charges involving the Loretto fraud. Ahmed is due in court again on Monday, when he's scheduled to be arraigned on the COVID fraud indictment.

Much has changed on the ground in Chicago since Ahmed left town for Dubai as investigations swirled around him. Earlier this year, the federal prosecutor who headed the investigation was accused of misconduct before the “Broadview Six” grand jury, causing that case to collapse in spectacular fashion and leading to an ongoing scandal over mistrust of the U.S. attorney’s office.

Since then, it's been revealed that the prosecutor, Sheri Mecklenburg, committed similar alleged conduct in the grand jury that indicted Ahmed and several co-defendants. As a result, charges were dropped against two others in the COVID fraud case, while two of Ahmed's former colleagues at Loretto recently received generous deferred prosecution deals that will leave them without a conviction.

With Ahmed now here to face the charges against him, his high-powered legal team will undoubtedly be looking to get the cases against him dismissed on similar grounds.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, who oversees the COVID-related case, previously told Ahmed's lawyers that once he's arraigned, they could renew requests for a full evidentiary hearing on what led to the indictment, which could force the testimony of Mecklenburg and top brass in the U.S. attorney's office.

On Thursday, however, the day Ahmed entered custody in Chicago, prosecutors secured a new indictment from a different grand jury that could stave off any further inquiry.

That 15-count indictment names only Ahmed and largely mirrors the previous allegations. Prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of more than \$50 million in cash seized from various accounts related to Ahmed, as well as two Rolls-Royces, a Lamborghini, a Mercedes and three luxury properties in Houston.

So far, only one conviction has come out of the sweeping fraud investigation of Loretto's former executives.

Chicago lab owner Mohamed Sirajudeen, who is cooperating with prosecutors, pleaded guilty earlier this month to helping Ahmed generate tens of millions of dollars in government reimbursements over a two-month period in 2021, much of which was for COVID tests that were never performed.

In the other indictment, former Loretto CEO George Miller Jr. and ex-executive Heather Bergdahl have each received deferred prosecution deals. Charges are pending against a fourth defendant, medical supply company owner Sameer Suhail, who had also left Chicago for Dubai before the indictment was brought in 2025.

According to prosecutors, Ahmed used patient information obtained from a variety of sources, including Loretto, to generate false claims that were submitted through Sirajudeen's Chicago-based lab, O'Hare Clinical Lab Services, as well as labs in Texas that Ahmed owned but which that were not operational.

In his 35-page plea agreement with prosecutors, Sirajudeen admitted he knew that his lab “had not conducted many of the PCR tests” that were reflected in patient spreadsheets sent in by Ahmed, but that his company paid Ahmed and submitted them for reimbursement anyway.

Over a two-month period beginning in July 2021, Sirajudeen's lab submitted about \$238 million in reimbursement requests to the Department of Health and Human Services, about \$65 million of which was paid, according to the plea agreement.

Another \$185 million worth of reimbursement requests was ultimately not processed because of an unrelated suspension in the program, according to the plea.

In February 2022, worried that the government was onto him, Ahmed approached Sirajudeen with a scheme to cover up what was happening, according to the plea agreement.

Sirajudeen agreed to help Ahmed fabricate records to hide the true nature of the kickback payments, including creating a phony, backdated licensing agreement, fake invoices for personal protection equipment and other goods and services that were never provided. He also filed a false security note with Cook County to make it look like some payments O'Hare made directly to Ahmed were connected to a loan that did not actually exist, according to the plea.

The investigation was sparked after the West Side safety net hospital came under fire for improperly doling out COVID-19 vaccinations soon after the shots became available. In 2021, following reporting by Block Club Chicago and WBEZ, Loretto admitted it had improperly vaccinated workers at Trump Tower in downtown Chicago and had also improperly given shots to Cook County judges at a time when the vaccines were still scarce.

In 2024, Ahmed was accused of embezzling at least \$15 million from the hospital over a five-year period, including at the height of the pandemic, by causing payments to vendor companies for purported goods and services that they knew had not been provided.

By the time those charges were filed, Ahmed was already in Dubai, which has no formal extradition treaty with the U.S..

While living in Dubai, Ahmed waged a strange public relations campaign that appeared aimed at rebuilding his image and possibly courting the attention of President Donald Trump, who has granted executive clemency in a number of notable Chicago-area cases, from Gangster Disciples boss Larry Hoover to former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

In a series of press releases blasted over newswires, Ahmed touted himself as a Chicago-based entrepreneur determined to break the cycle of poverty by bringing high-tech jobs to the city's historically underserved West Side.

Many of the releases included a media contact identified as Meghan Trump. The phone number listed turned out to be the main switchboard for the Trump International Hotel in Chicago, where Ahmed used to own a condo.

One release claimed Ahmed was significantly upping his contributions in Chicago, supporting free health screenings and mental health support as well as “launching a daily \$1,000 cash relief giveaway” to needy families.

“Thope to inspire families and professionals worldwide to create a legacy that makes positive ripples in the world at large,” Ahmed was quoted as saying on his website.

Ahmed was arrested on an international warrant in Serbia on Nov. 30, records show.

CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Panel targets gender policies

By Kate Perez CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce is continuing its investigation into Chicago Public Schools by requesting more information on the district's policies supporting transgender students and other diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

In a letter Thursday addressed to district CEO Macquiline King, committee Chair Rep. Tim Walberg, a Republican from Michigan, wrote that the committee “is reviewing how CPS policies affect the safety, privacy, and well-being of children, and whether parents are excluded from major decisions involving their children,” specifically around topics such as pronouns and preferred gender.

The letter includes a request for more information from the district regarding its guidelines, including its gender and sexuality protections for students; written complaints about certain CPS gender plans since 2023; trainings for teachers and coaches on gender and sexuality; and courses and materials associated with gender and sexuality beginning in 2025.

The letter comes two months after King sat before the committee in Washington to defend the district's policies. In 2025, CPS was under federal investigation over its Black Student Success Program. After the district refused to scrap the initiative, the U.S. Department of Education pulled millions in federal grants. More broadly, the department has launched similar investigations into other schools' gender and sexuality policies, including recent investigations in Maryland and Michigan.

King steadfastly defended the district at the June hearing, responding to multiple committee questions by stating that CPS' guidelines comply with Illinois law and highlighting its commitment to equity.

“In CPS, we say every student, every school, every community,” King said. “Fulfilling that commitment requires us to recognize the diversity of experiences, needs, and strengths that exist across our district.”

The House committee's letter requests that the district respond no later than Sept. 11.

"The information gathered will aid the Committee in considering whether potential legislative changes are needed," the letter states.

AURORA

AR-15 allegedly stolen out of squad vehicle

By Molly Morrow AURORA BEACON-NEWS

An AR-15 rifle was stolen recently from a Kane County deputy's squad vehicle in Aurora, the Kane County sheriff's office says.

The incident occurred early Tuesday morning, the sheriff's office said in a news release, when a deputy's squad vehicle was burglarized while it was parked at the deputy's home in Aurora, and a county-owned Aero Precision AR-15 rifle was stolen.

Following the incident, the sheriff's office's investigations division has been "developing and pursuing leads associated with potential suspects," the news release said.

On Friday morning, Kane County Undersheriff Amy Johnson told The Beacon-News there were no updates on the incident, but that the office is still actively working on its investigation.

The office said in the news release that it initially limited the information that was released publicly about the situation due to the active investigation efforts, saying that “releasing additional details ... could have jeopardized leads and efforts to identify and locate those potentially involved.”

The investigation remains ongoing, the sheriff's office said, noting that, at this point, the incident is believed to be isolated. The office is asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact its investigations division at 630-444-1103.

Separate from the criminal investigation, the office says it is also conducting an internal administrative review to determine whether sheriff's office policies and procedures were followed.


Robert Dominic is driven away from the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago on Friday after pleading guilty and being sentenced in his tax evasion case involving sweepstakes gaming machines. TERRENCE ANTONIO JAMES/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

DOMINIC from Page A1

“This is unusual,” U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo said at the outset of the hearing. “I need to know about what this is.”

Normally, a defendant who pleads guilty in federal court submits to what is known as a presence investigation, where court officials do a deep dive into his background and the conduct related to the conviction and write a report recommending a sentence.

But that had all been waived for Dominic. Why?

Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Rothblatt told the judge Dominic was 72 years old, a “first-time offender,” and that his office had determined there had been no actual tax loss to the IRS, all factors in the decision to end the case in this manner.

“Well there must have been something to make you decide to indict him,” Bucklo said.

In the end, Bucklo went along with the deal, which scuttled a trial that had been set for later this year. Dominic, dressed in a gray suit and light green tie, spoke little during the 30-minute hearing, and had to have the judge repeat herself several times because of hearing issues.

When the judge asked how far he went in school, Dominic said, “Two months of high school.” He’s been retired for years, he said. So what did he do when he was working?

"I would help my father at the tavern and the rooming house," Dominic told the judge, an apparent reference to the Acacia Hotel, a single-room occupancy facility connected to Richard's Bar.

Under the terms of the deal, the year and a half Dominic has spent free on bond while the case was pending will count toward his two years of probation. That means he'll be free and clear of any court supervision by early next year.

Minutes after the hearing ended, Dominic walked out of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse flanked by one of his lawyers, Joel Rabb, and got into a car without comment. Reached by phone later in the day, Rabb said, “I have nothing to say. Have a great day,” then hung up.

His lead attorney, Gabrielle Sansonetti, also declined to comment.

Dominic admitted in his bare-bones plea agreement with prosecutors that he directed his wife, identified only as Individual B, to prepare corporate tax returns in 2021 and 2022 for Company A that failed to identify his ownership interest.

The agreement stated Company A paid all applicable corporate taxes on time, but that Dominic admitted “the ownership information for Company A was material to the IRS’s ability to, among other things, ascertain, compute, assess, and collect tax revenue.”

Those admissions pale in comparison to what was alleged in the original charges brought last year. According to that indictment, Dominic was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars from two sweep-stakes gaming companies through a sham entity owned by his then-girlfriend.

A month after his girlfriend died in January 2020, Dominic allegedly set up another phony company through another woman and continued to receive payments from the sweep-stakes businesses, according to the original indictment, which has now been dismissed.

The indictment listed payments Dominic allegedly received from the sweep-stakes gaming companies totaling more than \$1.2 million. The charges also alleged Dominic failed to file personal tax returns reflecting any of that income.

In court Friday, Rothblatt said prosecutors determined Company A had paid all applicable income taxes to the IRS on time, and that any personal income taxes that had been owed by Individual B were paid up in following years.

The case against Dominic was an offshoot of a bomb-shell investigation into the shady world of sweepstakes gaming machines that brought down former state Rep. Luis Arroyo and businessman James Weiss, who is married to Berrios' daughter, former state Rep. Maria "Toni" Berrios.

Prosecutors alleged in a sentencing filing in Weiss' criminal case that he was allegedly "good friends" with notorious mob hit man Frank "The German" Schweihs and once went to him for protection for his massage parlors being threatened by other gangsters.

Weiss' brother, Joseph, was caught on an FBI wiretap saying that Weiss had partnered with "a known longtime mob associate" after Weiss had reportedly gone to Schweihs for help. At the time, Schweihs had been charged in the landmark Family Secrets mob case and was on the run. According to the brother's story, The German told Weiss, "Jim, I'm underground right now ... but I'll have someone call you right back."

"Somebody called Jimmy" and told him to go see Dominic, who "straightened it all out," Joseph Weiss said, according to prosecutors. "Ever since then, they're partners on everything. The problem is (Dominic's) like a gangster but he's an honest guy. If you're his friend, you're his friend."

Schweihs, who according to authorities spent decades as a reputed enforcer for the mob's Grand Avenue street crew, died of cancer in 2008 while awaiting trial.

Joseph Weiss was charged in 2023 with lying to federal investigators about his brother's reputed mob ties, including his previous contacts with Schweihs and Dominic. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two months in jail.

The Tribune has previously reported that James Weiss' sweepstakes company, V.S.S., was connected to a former Chicago police officer, John Adreani, who was fired from the Chicago Police Department in 2015 for associating with a major drug trafficker.

Another associate, Anthony DeMarco, incorporated a sweepstakes business using the Grand Avenue address for the building that houses Richard's as well as the Italian restaurant La Scarola, records show.

James Weiss was convicted by a jury in 2023 of seven counts of bribery, wire fraud, mail fraud and making false statements. The charges alleged Weiss then agreed to pay monthly \$2,500 bribes to get language helping his sweepstakes business added to state gambling legislation, first to Arroyo and later to state Sen. Terry Link, who was a chief sponsor of the gambling bill in the Senate.

Arroyo and Weiss didn't know that Link, a Vernon Hills Democrat, was cooperating with the FBI. Link testified over two days about his undercover role, receiving a break at sentencing for his own tax conviction.

James Weiss was sentenced in October 2023 to $5 \frac{1}{2}$ years in prison. He's currently assigned to a Chicago-area halfway house, records show.

OAK PARK

Village hikes grocery bag fees, plans ban

By Cam'ron Hardy PIONEER PRESS

A 10-cent fee per single-use plastic shopping bag at retail businesses in Oak Park businesses that was imposed eight years ago hasn't made a dent in their use, village officials said, so they plan to ban the bags outright by 2030, with fees on their use increasing incrementally until then.

The Oak Park Village Board voted Tuesday to increase fees associated with single-use plastic and paper bags by 5 cents each year through 2029. Now 10 cents, bags will cost users 15 cents each starting Jan. 1. Plastic bags will be banned altogether in Oak Park in 2030, while single-use paper bags will cost users 25 cents each.

People using SNAP, LINK, WIC or any other food assistance programs are exempt from the fee, officials said.

The board voted 6-1 to approve the measure, with

Trustee Cory Wesley the lone vote against.

Lindsey Roland Nieratka, the village's chief sustainability officer, said approximately \$170,000 is generated annually from the current 10 cent bag fee, and over \$1.16 million has been generated since the bag fee ordinance went into effect in 2018.

While the fee on bags has increased revenue for the village, it has not been successful in decreasing use of the bags in Oak Park's retail establishments, she said.

She said the higher fees are hoped to decrease plastic and paper bag use, along with its associated waste and environmental impact.

Another way to encourage people to stop using the plastic and paper bags is a possible tote bag giveaway location that would be available 24 hours. Bags currently are available at Village Hall, but it closes at 5 p.m. most days. Officials also plan to promote reusable bags through a marketing campaign.

Wesley's opposition stemmed from his contention that it takes several uses of paper and canvas bags to offset the environmental impact of one plastic bag and said he feels going forward with the motion is "doing it backwards."

He also said it's the wrong time to increase fees by any amount as some are struggling with cost of living concerns and grocery prices already.

"When I think about even adding a nickel to a plastic bag, it's not so much the cost, but the signal," Wesley said. "This signals to me that we're tone deaf to the struggles people on the street are experiencing and I'd like to not send that message.

“It’s the perception that we don’t care people are struggling and that for some people even a nickel might feel like too much.”

Trustee Derek Eder said that people will forget to use their own bags and questioned potential backlash when the ban on plastic bags takes effect. He suggested biodegradable or compostable plastic bags might be an option.

Roland Nieratka said the gradual increase in bag fees was put in place as a way to shift peoples' habits.

“That gives an opportunity for a little bit of a more pain point every year as people get used to it and it also gives us three years to do the education, the outreach, communication and help make that behavior change stick,” she said.

The three-year time frame also gives officials time to consider alternatives should they want to back away from an outright ban on plastic bags.

"I think that we should give people an easy path to do the right thing," Eder said.

FLOODS from Page A1

severely damaged checkpoint area on the Chinese side of the border between the two countries.

Rescuers were on high alert for more flooding from a new lake that formed high up in the Himalayan mountains after the initial floods Wednesday. Experts warned that the lake, created after a glacier collapse that triggered the floods, was starting to overflow.

Videos of the disaster show floodwaters crashing against buildings before swallowing people fleeing.

The Chicago area's Nepali and Tibetan communities quickly organized to provide what support they could.

Kabra, 42, said he woke up Wednesday and saw a video of the floods sent by a friend in Nepal.

At first, the Nepali immigrant thought the footage was from a movie or generated by

“Nepalese people are resilient. We will stand together, support one another and we will rise again.”

artificial intelligence.

It was real, though.

Kabra said friends and families in Nepal reached out to him in the days since the catastrophe saying the “devastating” flood’s effects spread far beyond the border.

“Major highways are un-operatable, all the police, armies, they had to put all their effort in that direction, which is putting too much pressure on the economy,” he said. “It’s real bad in there.”

Kabra owns a flower shop in Niles, Emotional Bonding, 8000 W Oakton St. He said the week of Sept. 6 all of the store's sales will go to relief for Nepal. He is also a partner with The Clove Indian and Nepali Cuisine and said the Glenview restaurant at 1827 Waukegan Road is planning a similar promotion where customers can buy lunches by donating directly to Nepali aid.

Several of the groups present in Wednesday's emergency meeting launched a GoFundMe.

The flood relief fund raised about \$600 as of Friday evening. Rajan Shahi, president of Chicago-based organization Nepalese Aid, said he is involved with the GoFundMe. People can also donate to the Nepal Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund online, he said.

Thursday night, the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago held a vigil in Evanston for victims of the flood. Community members sat in blue folding chairs in front of an altar, prayed and recited Buddhist mantras.

Conductor of prayers Norbu Samphell led the service, speaking into a microphone and clutching prayer beads. He said even though the border of Tibet and Nepal is very far away, those in attendance still felt a sentimental connection. Buddhist teachings also dictate that every sentient being should be happy, Samphell said.

“We feel like we need to do it, because when they are suffering, we should pray that these kinds of sufferings should be minimized,” Samphell said.

At the festival earlier this month, Shahi said representatives of nonprofits were able to discuss their culture with other Chicagoans. Shahi said he hopes to hold the event every year moving forward.

“Nepalese people are resilient,” Shahi said. “We will stand together, support one another and we will rise again.”

JUDGE from Page A1

decisions this week that included the U.S. Supreme Court allowing the Postal Service to work to implement the executive order, the Postal Service finalizing its vote-by-mail rules and legal challenges filed by 25 states, including Illinois, and voting rights advocates such as the League of Women Voters.

At issue are Postal Service rules requiring that states provide it with a list of voters eligible to receive and cast mail-in ballots, as well as get its approval for new trackable envelopes to send and receive ballots. If states do not comply, the Postal Service will not mail ballots to voters, under the rules.

Federal government lawyers have argued that the new Postal Service rule “merely imposes modest conditions on the sending of mail.”

But lawyers for the objecti- ng states and voter advocacy groups contend the rule violates the constitution- ally defined role of states in administering elections, the federal Voting Rights Act and laws governing separation of powers, privacy and Postal Service regulations for universal mail delivery.

"The U.S. Constitution is clear: States have the power to administer elections, not the federal executive branch, and I will continue to fight against this blatantly unconstitutional rule that would only create disorder and undermine confidence in our upcoming general election," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said in a statement.

In announcing that Illinois had joined two dozen other states in challenging the rule, Raoul noted Trump's long-standing opposition to mail-in ballots and called it "yet another unlawful attempt by the Trump administration to control state voting systems."

Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, at an unrelated event in downstate Carbondale, said Trump was seeking to use the Postal Service to take federal control of the election process.

“Donald Trump wants to keep people from voting because he knows he and his party are going to lose in November. That’s why he’s trying to prevent people from voting by mail," Pritzker said. "It's up to the states to run elections, not up to Donald Trump or the federal government."

Though Trump has regularly used mail-in voting to cast his ballots, he has falsely maintained that fraud involving mailed ballots cost him the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump also has falsely contended on social media that “the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes” and “must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them ... to do.”

But the federal judge Thursday night noted that the court's record “continues to lack any evidence regarding fraudulent absentee or mail-in voting” despite the administration's stated effort to enlist the Postal Service “to help ensure election integrity, fraud prevention, and facilitation of federal law enforcement.”

"The USPS's interest in correcting an unsubstantiated problem through likely unconstitutional means is dwarfed by the overwhelming risk of pervasive disenfranchisement of citizens who need access to mail ballots in order to vote," Talwani wrote in granting the 14-day temporary restraining order against the Postal Service.

"If Plaintiff States are unable to comply with the Final Rule, an outcome that seems unavoidable given the timeframe, they will violate their obligations under the Constitution and State laws to administer elections," Talwani wrote, adding that federal government lawyers have offered "no reply" to those states that say compliance for the midterms will be impossible.

Talwani has scheduled a Sept. 3 hearing – just two months before the election – on whether to issue a longer-term injunction blocking the new mail-in voting rule. Legal experts expect the challenges to the Postal Service rule and Trump's executive order could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mail-in balloting begins in some states within weeks and starts in Illinois on Sept. 24.

Dropping a child off at college stirs up a tangle of emotions

By John Biemer SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

It hit me in our daughter's new dorm room as we were dropping her off recently for her freshman year of college. The time for my wife and me to say goodbye was fast approaching.

Our daughter was lying on her freshly made bed with the new pink comforter. Her head was on my wife's lap. Her legs were dangling off the bed, her sneakers still on. I looked at her and gave her foot a little squeeze, and a series of images instantly flashed through my mind.


John Biemer and his wife and daughter during college drop-off. JOHN BIEMER

The precious, perfect little feet of a newborn. A baby's first footsteps. The tiny shoes of a toddler. The sound of a teenager bounding down the stairs of our home. These familiar sneakers I was squeezing right then that would stay in that dorm room that night.

And that's when the waterworks started. Tears welled up from deep within me, a feeling of love so strong it ached.

Anyone who has dropped off a kid at college knows this feeling. This was not my first rodeo. We had seen off our older son to college a couple of years earlier, so I knew it was coming. But this is our only daughter, and it hit me hard.

I'm 53 now. I've been to weddings, funerals and graduations. I've watched plenty of tearjerker films. And yet, there's nothing that feels quite like a college drop-off.

The mother of our daughter's new roommate confessed to us that she had been crying repeatedly in recent weeks. Her thoughts would turn to her daughter, and the tears would just flow. At home. In the grocery store. Even at the bank.

"Why do we feel like this?" she asked my wife and me.

The best explanation I can come up with for this complicated, conflicted feeling is that this major milestone stirs up a unique maelstrom of emotions, all at once. Emotions that pile on top of each other and simply knock you out. I've tried to make sense of it, and this is the best I can do.

Pride: We are extremely proud of our children and all they've accomplished to get to this point. The hard work, long hours of studying, and all the time devoted to high school sports and extracurriculars have paid off. They are college kids now! And we are proud of ourselves, too, for raising such remarkable kids. All those changed diapers, bedtime stories, packed lunches, rides to soccer practice and help with science fair projects have led to this moment.

Joy/excitement: College was among the best four years of my life, as it was for many others. I learned a ton, grew up and made lifelong friends. There's a lot of fun stuff too! Parties and football games and concerts and maybe even a chance to study abroad. Once you get into the real world, life isn't like that so much. We are so excited that our kids get to experience this. Maybe even a little jealous! And we can't wait to visit them and get a little taste of their college life too.

Grief/sadness: There's no getting around this. This loved one who was in your house every day for 18 years has moved on. When you get home from that drop-off, you will not hear those footsteps in your house anymore. There will be an empty seat at the dinner table. It's not forever. They will return home sometimes. But they, and you, have entered a new phase of life. Your kids are growing up. It's normal. It's great! But you will feel that void when they're not around. And it hurts profoundly.

Nervousness: You are a concerned parent. You can't help but have a lot of worries. This transition is hard on you, and it may very well be hard on your kiddo too. How will they handle it? Will they make new friends? How will they fare in college-level classes? Will they eat right? Can they do their own laundry? Will they make the right decisions? Will they be safe? All these worries put a pit in your stomach.

Stress: Let's face it. Moving a kid into college is a lot. There's so much to buy to outfit that dorm room these days. There's a lot of paperwork at the start of a school year. Classes to schedule. And big bills. College is not cheap these days. It adds up to a busy summer. Then we packed our minivan to the gills and made an 800-mile drive to campus. Move-in day itself, with all the moving parts and the people to meet, can create quite a bit of stress too.

Mortality: Not to be morbid, but if your kids are getting older and becoming adults, that means you are getting older too. You're a long way from being a college kid yourself when your kids are in college.

You throw all these emotions together, and it's a heady mix. It's a lot to process. I'm still working it out myself, as we've returned home, and I find myself lingering a little outside my daughter's quiet, empty bedroom.

She will do great things in college. We will keep in touch and visit and cheer for her all the way. And we are happy that we also still happen to have a high school kid at home for a few more years, to cherish our time with him until we go through another big college drop-off and another big transition.

And now, when I think about my daughter going through her first days of college, so far from home, I've added one more feeling to this mix: lucky.

I feel so very lucky to have reasons why my heart aches so much at college drop-offs. I feel so very lucky to have children I love this much.

Attitudes toward plastic use


michaelpramirez.com
MICHAEL RAMIREZ/LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
X@Ramireztoons

Regarding the Aug. 23 article “Scientists push leaders to act on microplastics pollution”: I found it ironic that on the day I read this article, I attended an event that illustrated part of the problem with microplastics invading the Great Lakes and bodies as well.

I attended Supertri Chicago to cheer on my daughter who was participating in the triathlon. I couldn't help noticing the abundance of single-use plastic everywhere. This was not only the case with the event organizers serving up thousands of sports drinks to participants, but also the crowd writ large. Many of the fans carried single-use plastic bottled drinks; bottles were left on the ground or thrown away, not recycled.

I also see this at social events such as concerts. When I attend shows at Ravinia, people bring or buy single-use plastic bottled drinks, only to throw the bottles away, as Ravinia makes no real effort to offer recycling options. As large as Ravinia is, it has only a handful of recycling bins. Its effort in regards to the environment is an attitude I'll never understand.

Which brings me back to the article. Until attitudes and behaviors change, not much progress will be made in reducing the harm plastics have on our lived environment. This has been going on for decades; it feels like Sisyphus.

I believe the public has no idea where plastics come from and the negative impact they have on the environment. This is due to naivete and campaigns by the perpetrators to the contrary.

For instance, do people realize that plastics are made from petrochemicals? That is oil and gas companies, such as Shell and ExxonMobil, to name two. These products help these companies stay relevant. Shell has one of the largest plastic factories in the country in Pennsylvania; it produces 1.6 million metric tons of plastic a year. The chief product is pellets of polyethylene, a common plastic.

Furthermore, the current administration does not care about the environment. On the contrary, it has cozied up to industry to degrade the environment even more.

This article might prove enlightening to some, but will it and others be enough to change attitudes and consumer choices to make a difference?

Give fans of 'Mully' closure

As a lifelong Chicago sports fan from Schaumburg, I am deeply disappointed by how 104.3 The Score handled Mike Mulligan's sudden departure. Dropping a 23-year station veteran without letting him say a proper on-air goodbye to his loyal audience was completely classless.

This corporate behavior puts fans like me in an unfair position. I grew up admiring the Payton family legacy and want to support Jarrett Payton in his new morning role. However, management's rude treatment of "Mully" makes me question if I want to support this station at all. Instead of enthusiastically telling people that Payton is on morning radio, the conversation now centers on how bogus the station was to a local legend.

The mature move would be for management to invite Mully back for a final farewell segment to give fans the closure they deserve.

Devastated by host's removal

Flags lowered for Parton

I don't want to be a killjoy, and I loved Dolly Parton, but what is up with this half-staff frenzy we have been in as of late?

Some Americans disagree with President Donald Trump's decision to lower the U.S. flag to half staff for a week to honor Parton, citing tradition and the U.S. Flag Code.

The U.S. Flag Code generally reserves half staff for the president, vice president, justices of the Supreme Court, members of Congress, governors and in cases of national tragedy. It can be argued that entertainers and cultural icons should not receive a nationwide presidential directive of this scope.

The rare bipartisan admiration of Parton, her decadeslong cultural impact and her philanthropy clearly are worthy of a grateful nation, but doesn't flying the flag at half staff overstep the traditional scope of the flag's use?

Teacher's dream comes true

It thrilled me to read the article featuring Edward Gardner, who is a new special education teacher at Burnham Mathematics & Science Academy (“For a new special ed teacher, it’s a ‘dream come true,’” Aug. 24).

He had a dream to become a teacher and worked hard to make his dream come true. What an example he is to all who choose to follow their dreams and work to achieve them. I would love to hear more about this teacher and how he is making a difference in the lives of his students.

Is it possible to check in with him during the school year and let Tribune readers know how he is finding his career rewarding?

Southern states to redraw their congressional maps in a way that erodes equal representation in Black communities.

“We’ve been doing these marches for years, but this is probably the most important because this is the first year we are marching that the voting rights bill has been nullified by the Supreme Court,” Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network, said in an Associated Press interview.

This year's march, which Sharpton's group is co-hosting with King's Drum Major Institute, a progressive think tank and community action group, features dozens of speakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Friday's event harkens back to King Jr.'s historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, when more than 200,000 people gathered at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial. That march, an inflection point in the Civil Rights Movement, came at a fraught moment, when economic headwinds, civil unrest, political division and the Vietnam War bitterly divided Americans.

King III told the AP that the work of the Civil Rights movement “is further eroding” in the wake of the high court’s April ruling.

He said his father would be disappointed with the state of the country, but current civil rights advocates should be undaunted.

“Had he lived, we’d be on a totally different trajectory,” the younger King said. “These would not be issues; they would have been resolved. I don’t think he would be surprised because he understands our history and understands those who are trying to retain power. But the challenge is challenging our communities to engage even more.”

Ray Turner, 65, a retiree from Maryland, sat Friday on the steps in front of the Lincoln Memorial. He came independently, carrying a sign that read “(Puny) Hands off our elections.”

Turner said he was “disturbed” by the Trump administration’s actions toward voting rights.

"The lies about the 2020 election being stolen continue to be sounded, even though they've been disproved," Turner said, adding, "Now they're trying to use this to prevent people who are legal citizens, legal voters, from voting."

Bill Gruen, 75, a former U.S. history teacher, attended the march in an Uncle Sam costume he created 50 years ago for class debates. Gruen said that while the rally was about voting rights, it was important to focus on what the Trump administration was doing too.

"We got to focus on voting rights, and Trump's desire to save America for himself as opposed to itself," Gruen said.

Sharpton said the Trump administration's immigration policy for Haitians and white South Africans, as well as cuts to social programs like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act's health subsidies, are unifying policies for this year's diverse march attendees. But the redistricting efforts by Republican-led states set to reduce the number of Black lawmakers in Congress loom large.

"This march is about people who refuse to be counted out. When the courts and the legislature broke apart District 6, they did not just redraw lines,"

Rep. Cleo Fields, D-La., said in a texted statement. "They told hundreds of thousands of Black families from Baton Rouge up through the Delta that their voice could be taken away at any moment."

Fields was the central character in the Supreme Court decision that hollowed out the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The court ruled that his district, created just one term ago to permit a second majority-Black district in a state where Blacks make up 33% of the population, was unconstitutional because it relied too heavily on race.

The court has held that maps can be redrawn for partisan reasons.

Louisiana's legislature rushed to redraw the district after the decision, reshaping Fields' district to cluster it around predominantly white communities in the Baton Rouge area and southern Louisiana.

Fields has opted not to seek reelection to Congress and instead is pursuing a seat in the state Senate.

Rep. Shomari Figures, an Alabama Democrat whose majority-Black district was targeted by the state's Republican-led redistricting effort, said the original voting rights fight required local movements, national figures, lots of coordination and strategy. He sees this year's march as a continuation of that legacy.

"My district includes Montgomery, which was the birthplace of it all. It started with a bus boycott in 1955 and that, ultimately, morphed into a broader struggle for civil rights and led to a more broad Civil Rights Movement," Figures said.

"It led to a Civil Rights Act, led to the Fair Housing Act, led obviously to the Voting Rights Act, and the voting rights movement," Figures added.

Warsh hints of rate hikes to help control inflation

But Fed chair did not say move imminent in Wyoming speech

By Christopher Rugaber ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming — Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said Friday that inflation is still too high and suggested the central bank may have to raise interest rates in the coming months to bring it down, a clearer signal than he had sent previously about his economic outlook.

In his first high-profile speech at the Fed's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Warsh acknowledged that recent U.S. reports show that inflation has cooled a bit, but “they do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved.”

“We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective, clearly and at sufficient speed,” Warsh said. “Otherwise, we have work to do.”

Comments from the new Fed chair appeared to reassure Wall Street that fighting inflation remains the priority for the central bank.

Warsh did not imply in his speech that a rate hike is imminent, but at the same time, he seemed to dismiss perceptions that inflation is not a threat. He pointed to data showing that inflation remains stubbornly above the central bank's 2% target.

Warsh replaced Jerome Powell in late May after his predecessor's term ended.

The U.S. stock market drifted lower after the speech, but expectations are building in the bond market for the Fed to hike interest rates. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which closely tracks expectations for what the Fed will do with its federal funds rate, moved from 4.22% to 4.30%, a sign that investors expect short-term yields to move higher.

Longer-term yields on 10-year and 30-year Treasuries were mostly flat, suggesting investors aren't worried that higher rates will be needed for a long stretch of time to fight inflation.

Jon Faust, an economist at Johns Hopkins and a former adviser to Powell, said Warsh succeeded in conveying a tougher approach on inflation while, at the same time, avoiding the detailed guidance customary among his predecessors that he

has disparaged.

"He found a way to convey that if necessary he would support raising rates, which is one thing people were concerned about," Faust said.

Yet some economists have argued that Warsh could say more about his views on Fed policy without tipping his hand about future actions.

Warsh on Friday reiterated his skepticism about providing such guidance or even outlining his broad approach to interest-rate policy.

But he did suggest that interest rates currently aren't restricting economic activity, pointing to robust business investment in AI equipment and infrastructure and strong consumer spending. As a rule of thumb, interest rates often need to be high enough to limit borrowing and spending to cool inflation.

Warsh also sought to clear up some areas of confusion that arose after his remarks at a July 29 news conference. He specified that short-term interest rates are the “predominant tool” the Fed can use to lower inflation.

The Fed next meets Sept. 15 and 16.

Driving home a bargain

Migrants buy junked vehicles in US and transport cars back to Central America for resale

By Jody García THE NEW YORK TIMES

They board flights from Central America bound for the United States, not to migrate but to source used cars. Operating a cross-border circuit, these drivers transport salvaged vehicles from U.S. scrapyards to their home roads – giving junked cars a second life and fueling the local economy.

Julio César Pisquiy Nimatuj was 12 when he first drove on a highway. He discovered that he enjoyed being behind the wheel.

Decades later, Pisquiy, 44, is one of these migrants who drives for a living.

Like the other drivers, Pisquiy has his own business model. He buys the cars in advance at auctions in the United States and has them delivered to Otay Mesa, east of San Diego, before bringing them back to Guatemala for resale.

Before heading to the United States, Pisquiy plans out his luggage.

His first-class ticket allows for 73 pounds of baggage, which he dedicates to vital equipment such as wrenches, an impact gun and a tow bar. Whatever space is left over is used to transport general goods.

Online descriptions rarely match reality, so a car's actual condition is usually a surprise. Pisquiy handles the repairs himself, patching them up just enough to survive the 2,000-mile journey.

He travels 10 to 15 times a year, making an average of \$2,000 per trip. The trips can take up to 20 days total.

He supplements his income transporting gifts and essential supplies coordinated with customers through WhatsApp. He calls himself a transmigrant.

"I also have a body shop and optometrist clinics, but if I can't travel, I'm in trouble," he said. "Of my three jobs, transmigrant is the most profitable."

To transmigrants, damaged vehicles sitting in U.S. junkyards are pure gold. Holding transit visas that permit continuous North American transit without permanent residency, they are uniquely positioned to turn these castoffs into a lucrative trade. This provides a vital economic alternative to traditional migration paths used by thousands of Central Americans.

In Guatemala, where the World Bank reports a 55% poverty rate and an informal sector driving half the economy, such lifelines are exceptionally rare.

While cheaper in Central America, imported used cars often lack the strict occupant safety protections required by U.S. standards.

Mexico allows transmigrants to use only two roads to cross the country, giving Pisquiy nine days to reach Guatemala.

The journey doesn't come without risks.

The drivers are assaulted and robbed on the road. Extortion is so common that payment for cartels is worked into the budget of every trip.

Before reaching the final buyer, the vehicle passes through many hands: mechanics, painters, sellers, among others.

Each trip costs Pisquiy about \$2,000, which includes the plane ticket, spare parts for the car, food, taxes and payments to the agencies that process the transit permit in Mexico.

And also extortion money.

The drivers have created a solidarity network to help with the loneliness and dangers of the journey.

"I have my favorite places, hotels and restaurants," Pisquiy said. "I do everything on my own, and I drive about 14 hours a day, so I need a good sleep and a good meal."

Major tech companies warn of future AI attacks

By Kate Conger

THE NEW YORK TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO — A wave of cyberattacks driven by artificial intelligence is coming, and companies have a narrow window to defend themselves.

That was the message of an open letter published Thursday by OpenAI and more than 100 major technology companies and others. The letter said that AI labs should provide their best AI models to organizations like hospitals and infrastructure providers so they can prepare and that governments should help coordinate and fund cyberdefense.

The letter's signatories included Google, Microsoft and OpenAI's archrival,

Anthropic, as well as cybersecurity and financial firms such as CrowdStrike, a company known for investigating cyberattacks against the Democratic National Committee in 2015 and 2016, and credit card providers like Visa and Mastercard.

"The companies and public services our communities depend on — from hospitals to water treatment plants to the infrastructure that powers the internet — are at risk," the letter said. "A.I. enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable."

The letter signaled that companies are becoming increasingly fearful of the hacking abilities of AI and whether AI labs can control their models. Some AI labs have called on governments to regulate them to slow the pace of AI development so the technology's abilities do not outstrip their capacity to control it.

The letter follows a spate of cyberattacks from AI models, with the models in some cases going rogue.

Last month, OpenAI's AI models broke out of a testing environment and hacked Hugging Face, an online repository of open AI models. Hugging Face said it faced a barrage of attacks, with OpenAI's bots taking more than 17,000 actions, like sending attack commands.

In Thursday's letter, the companies argued that making AI available for defense could help fix "weaknesses that have accumulated for years."

Judge rules Pentagon's Anthropic label illegal

By Kaitlyn Huamani ASSOCIATED PRESS

A federal judge has ruled in favor of artificial intelligence company Anthropic in its legal battle against the Pentagon after the government labeled the company as a supply chain risk earlier this year.

U.S. District Judge Rita Lin issued a written order Thursday night that the Pentagon acted illegally by punishing the AI company for its criticism of the Department of Defense's views on AI use. The government is expected to fight the ruling.

The dispute broke out in February when President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused Anthropic of endangering national security and designated the company a supply chain risk.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to back down over concerns the company's products could be used for mass surveillance or autonomous armed drones.

Lin wrote that the government's actions "were based on a desire to make a public example out of Anthropic for its ‘arrogance’ in criticizing the government, not based on any articulable basis to believe that Anthropic would actually sabotage its model."

Anthropic welcomed the ruling: “We remain focused on working productively with the government to harness AI for our national security so all Americans benefit from this technology.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In the 59-page ruling, Lin, an appointee of then-President Joe Biden, wrote that neither the Constitution nor the federal statute the government invoked allows them to “impose sweeping penalties based principally on Anthropic’s critique of the Administration’s views.”

Business briefs STARS AND STRIPES STAFFERS SUING TO CHALLENGE FIRINGS

WASHINGTON – Three staff members from the Stars and Stripes military news outlet are suing to challenge their recent firings by the Pentagon, accusing the Trump administration of violating their First Amendment free speech rights to speak out against government interference in their work.

Stars and Stripes Publisher Max Lederer, Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin and Middle East reporter Lara Korte are named as plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit filed Thursday in D.C.

The Pentagon, which partially funds the news outlet, fired them last week. The Pentagon declined to comment on the suit.

The lawsuit says Slavin and Korte were punished in retaliation for publishing a report on deteriorating conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Lederer was dismissed after announcing his impending retirement at the end of September. — Associated Press

EV SALES JUMP 29% GLOBALLY AMID OIL SPIKE FROM IRAN WAR

Electric car sales are on track to hit record highs this year, with 29% of all new cars purchased around the world expected to be either purely battery-powered models or plug-in hybrids, according to a recent report from the International Energy Agency. That's a sharp increase from 4% in 2020.

The boom in sales was somewhat unexpected. Some analysts had predicted a slower market for electric vehicles this year — until the U.S. war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz caused oil and gasoline prices to spike. That has led to a frenzy of EV sales in unexpected corners of the globe.

The rise of EVs is upending international car markets. Total sales of traditional cars with internal combustion engines have been in a steady decline, and this year, they're expected to reach their lowest level since the early 2000s. — The New York Times

REPORT FINDS CHEMICAL TANK UNFIT BEFORE BLAST KILLED 11

An inspection contractor found a chemical tank at a Washington state paper mill “not fit for continued service” 10 months before it failed in May, killing 11 in one of the deadliest U.S. workplace disasters in recent decades, according to a federal report released Friday.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board's update about the May 26 failure in Longview, which expelled enough caustic liquid to blow out building walls, is part of an ongoing investigation. The agency is still determining the cause.

The board found the contractor provided Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. with recommendations for internal inspections and shell repairs, but Nippon did none between a July 2025 inspection and the May 2026 failure.

Nippon declined to comment.

The Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers said Friday the board's findings were "deeply troubling." — Associated Press

Parton's philanthropy based on her belief in ‘goodness of people’

By James Pollard and Glenn Gamboa ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Dolly Parton didn't think her philanthropy made her special. She thought it was just part of being human.

"I think it's important for everyone to do their share to help their fellow man," she said in 2022, adding, "I get paid more attention than maybe some others that are doing more than me."

Fans across generations and places may disagree, saying it will remain a pillar of the music legend and multimillionaire businesswoman's legacy, following her death Tuesday at the age of 80. One of her most enduring images is that of the charismatic humanitarian, whose good humor and straightforward generosity lifted the well-being of communities in her home state and beyond.

Weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the South in 2024, she donated \$1 million of her money, matched by her Dollywood companies and their partners, to the flood-ravaged community in her native Tennessee.

The Library of Congress called Parton a “titan of children’s literacy” for the millions of free books provided monthly through her Imagination Library.

Also well-known is the \$1 million gift she made to Vanderbilt University's Medical Center to help develop Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine. The not-for-profit Dolly Parton Children's Hospital recently received an undisclosed sum to improve pediatric care across eastern Tennessee.

Then there's the quieter giving that the public was still uncovering in her final years. Internet sleuths realized she'd long paid for many Tennessee high schools' band uniforms. She bought a Nashville strip mall with her "I Will Always Love You" songwriting royalties to support the surrounding Black neighborhood.

“I just give from my heart,” she said in a 2022 speech accepting the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. “I never know what I’m going to do or why I’m gonna do it. I just see a need, and if I can fill it, then I will.”

The simplicity of her solutions is what made Parton so “magical,” said Stacia West, the co-founder of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Guaranteed Income Research and an associate professor at the University of Tennessee. West studied Parton's \$12 million fund for families who lost their homes in the 2016 fires that swept through Sevier County, Tennessee. Through The My People Fund, as it was called, Parton's foundation provided families \$1,000 per month for half the year with no strings attached.

The concept of providing unconditional cash was much more “taboo” at the time, West recalled. That trust in the fund’s beneficiaries to exercise their own agency is one lesson that West said philanthropy can take from Parton.

"The piece that really carries forward is her belief in the goodness of people and her ability to apply that to seemingly difficult problems," West said.

Parton applied the same framework to her reading initiative, West noted. Rather than hand out library cards that still required the time and transportation to visit a local branch, Parton mailed books to participants' doors.

The fourth of 12 children from a poor Appalachian family, Parton said her father inspired the Imagination Library. He was a “very smart man,” she once recalled, and she “often wondered what he could have done had he been able to read and write.”

Children across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia have received more than 330 million books since the program began.

Workers assemble interceptors for Powerus on July 28 in the United Arab Emirates. ISMAEEL NAAR/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Powerus teams with allied nations to use existing local plants

By Farah Stockman and Ismaeel Naar THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — In a small warehouse in the United Arab Emirates, workers spend up to 12 hours a day snapping together 3D-printed components to make interceptors capable of knocking Iranian drones out of the sky at speeds of up to 200 mph.

The facility, which came online last month, is being used by Powerus, a startup in West Palm Beach, Florida, to make inexpensive interceptors.

The factory is the company's first foray into the Middle East and part of its plan to become a global supplier. Factories affiliated with Powerus make roughly 3,000 drone interceptors a month, a spokesperson said, and the company is trying to establish a network of factories that will increase production to 15,000 a month worldwide by mid-2027.

Achieving those numbers requires a shift in the way business is done in a defense industry known for being slow, bureaucratic and expensive.

To meet the urgent demands of U.S.-allied countries that are under threat, Powerus has teamed up with local manufacturers in regions where the interceptors are needed. This allows the company to make them quickly in existing factories, rather than build new plants in the United States and export the weapons.

The Iran war has accelerated long-standing plans by the UAE and other nations to make more weapons within their own borders. The civilian infrastructure of the UAE was the most heavily targeted after the war started in February, as Iran sought to show its leverage over a symbol of global prosperity in the

region.

Now the need for more interceptors is critical as U.S.-made stockpiles dwindle. More than 500 ballistic missiles and over 2,200 Iranian drones have been fired at targets in the UAE. The attacks killed at least 15 people, injured hundreds, shut down an oil refinery and destroyed two Amazon data centers.

Interceptors are like small missiles, designed to crash into and destroy airborne threats before they reach their targets. The interceptor that Powerus developed, called Guardian, costs about \$5,000 and is based on a Ukrainian design that was effective against Russian Shahed drones.

Powerus designed the Guardians to be relatively simple to assemble, as pieces snap together like Legos, and use off-the-shelf microchips and GPS location modules. They can't intercept ballistic missiles, as Lockheed Martin's PAC-3 interceptors can, but Shahed drones are the most common form of attack by Iran.

Powerus provided a UAE contract manufacturer with the training, components and software needed to assemble interceptors for a customer in the Middle East, a setup designed for speed, said Michael Sinensky, co-founder and executive vice president of marketing for Powerus.

The factory's workers, who are mostly Filipino and Chinese, make 30 interceptors a day, with a goal of ramping up to 100 soon.

The company said last week that it had signed a commercial contract worth \$22 million to protect oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East. In addition, it has teamed up with a defense company near Mumbai to make interceptors in India.

As the Trump administration pressures suppliers to deliver weapons more quickly, even the largest defense companies are moving toward a model of co-production and less complicated systems.

Lockheed Martin, for example, which typically makes weapons in U.S. factories and ships them abroad to government-approved customers, said in July that it would produce a lower-cost interceptor in Europe with European partners. And while the weapon would cost about \$2 million — about half as much as the PAC-3, its best-known model — it isn't expected to be tested until 2028.

Brett Velicovich, chief operating officer of Powerus, said the whole industry was trending toward the company's business model.

"When the largest defense contractor in the world builds PAC-3 in partnership with European manufacturers, that's the industry acknowledging what the last four years demonstrated: You cannot supply a modern conflict from a single continent or facility," he said.

"Production has to sit close to where it's needed."

Powerus isn't the only U.S. company building interceptors in the UAE.

In October, Raytheon announced a partnership to build its Coyote interceptors there. The estimated cost is \$126,500 per interceptor, according to a report by the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank.

And Powerus will have additional competition on price.

Neros, a startup in Torrance, California, is developing an interceptor drone called Bandit, with the most basic model costing about \$5,000, a spokesperson said.

Shortly after the Iran war began, Powerus announced an unusual merger with a publicly traded golf course operator, Aureus Greenway Holdings, in a deal brokered by an investment firm with ties to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, President Donald Trump's two oldest

The golf course operator would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerus, a company spokesperson said.

The deal was brokered by Dominari Securities, an investment firm owned by Dominari Holdings, which counts the two Trump brothers as shareholders and advisory board members.

“We don’t care about politics — we want to save lives,” Sinensky said.

Still, Powerus has issued a number of announcements involving the Trumps or their associates. Keith Kellogg, a retired lieutenant general who served last year as the White House senior adviser to the president, joined the company's advisory board.

In June, Unusual Machines, a Florida-based drone component maker that has Trump Jr. on its advisory board, invested \$30 million. And this month, the company signed a contract worth up to \$90 million to provide interceptors to the Air Force.

Powerus began producing drones and Guardian interceptors in factories in North Carolina and California for the U.S. military.

But Guardians only partly address munitions shortages since they are designed for midsize drones, and countries will still need higher-end interceptors to take down missiles.

“They are complements, not substitutes, for the PAC-3,” said Stacie Pettyjohn, a senior fellow and director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security.

She added that Iran was most likely rebuilding its stockpile of missiles and might soon get Geran-3s

— jet-powered Shaheds designed by Russia that fly much faster than the original version.

“They will be moving toward the types of salvos that Russia is throwing at Ukraine,” Pettyjohn said of Iran. “That is what we have to plan to defend against.”

Agency proposes changing how US defines big, small businesses

By Sydney Ember and Lydia Depillis THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Small Business Administration wants to expand the definition of small businesses, aiming to give much larger companies access to government contracts, loans and other aid.

The proposal, which the Trump administration says would allow businesses to continue to benefit from the agency's programs as they grow, amounts to a sweeping overhaul of standards that have changed little in decades.

Many business owners support some increase in the limits on revenue and employees that determine what qualifies as a small business.

But the scale of the proposed increase would also place small businesses in direct competition with significantly larger rivals for contracts and loans, raising alarms that the agency could hamstring the businesses it was created to help.

In some industries, such as financial investment services, companies could earn up to \$1 billion or employ more than 3,000, more than some publicly traded corporations.

The highest cap for most industries is annual revenue of up to \$47 million or fewer than 1,500 employees.

“I don’t feel like this change was made with small business in mind,” said Angela Dingle, president and CEO of Women Impacting Public Policy, a group that promotes female entrepreneurs.

Caitlin O'Dea, a spokesperson for the Small Business Administration, said the changes "would reward growth, strengthen domestic production and rebuild key supply chains — which is essential to restoring American industrial dominance and national security."

The agency is soliciting public comments through Sept. 21, which O'Dea said it would review before issuing a final rule.

By law, 23% of federal contracting dollars are supposed to go to business designated as “small.”

The measure differs by industry.

Last year, the federal government exceeded that goal, awarding nearly \$273 billion to qualifying businesses.

Under the proposed rule, released Thursday, the administration is aiming to substantially increase the revenue and employees that companies can have while retaining small business status.

For example, the revenue limit for a business in the engineering services industry would increase to \$252 million a year, from \$25.5 million. Casinos could earn as much as \$744 million, more than 20 times the current cap of \$34 million.

"These are the biggest size standard changes in history, no question in my mind about that," said Sam Le, who was the director of policy, planning and liaison at the Small Business Administration from 2020 to 2025.

He said smaller businesses would have more competition for federal contracts and have fewer opportunities for subcontracts.

The agency said in its proposal that the modified size standards would increase the number of businesses classified as small by roughly 114,500. According to the Census Bureau, nearly 90% of U.S. businesses have fewer than 20 employees.

Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Small Business Committee, said the change would “decimate opportunities for actual small businesses.”

Target pulls minstrel costume after renewed backlash online

Retailer Target pulled a children's Halloween costume from its shelves this week after widespread social media backlash, apologizing for selling a garment critics said evoked racist minstrel caricatures.

Critics say the costume, along with its promotional image of a Black child modeling the get-up, is reminiscent of caricatures from Jim Crow-era minstrel shows that embedded stereotypes into popular culture and helped justify discrimination, segregation and racial violence.

"As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry," Target said in a statement Monday.

“We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won’t happen again.”

The costume misstep happened as Target's sales have started rebounding from earlier company moves that alienated some customers and from a perception the quality of its stores and merchandise had declined.

It is the latest controversy for the retailer, which joined companies like Meta, Walmart, and McDonald's in rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election.

The “Kids’ Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween costume,” an orange-and-black circus clown costume, now deleted from the Target website, featured gloves, a top hat and a grinning mask with large teeth.

"A Jim Crow-era minstrel costume is not simply getting it wrong. It is a profoundly harmful symbol of racism that should never have been designed, approved, or sold by Target," said the Rev. Jamal Bryant, a Georgia pastor who led a 40-day "Target Fast" boycott last year. "It shows that Target still lacks corporate diversity among decision-makers and needs concrete internal change."

In January 2025, the Minneapolis-based corporation ended its three-year DEI program, stopping reports to external groups like the Human Rights Campaign and ended a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses, replacing it with a new “Belonging” strategy.

Activist-organizers called for a boycott of Target, which lost roughly \$12.4 billion in market value by the end of February from January.

Minnesota civil rights activists, separate from Bryant, organized a national Target boycott, resulting in a 33% fall in the corporation's stock prices and wiped out over \$20 billion in market value.

Target has managed a recovery in recent months.

Target's stock is up roughly $63\%$ this year, a sharp rebound from the depths of the boycott. The company's turnaround strategy, launched by new CEO Michael Fiddelke after former CEO Brian Cornell stepped down, includes store refreshes, increased staffing and more aggressive pricing.

Target boycott organizers in Minneapolis, including Nekima Levy Armstrong and community leaders Monique Cullars-Doty and Jaylani Hussein, remain steadfast in their divestment calls.

They have continued to press the company to reinstate its DEI programs and continue its commitments to Black communities.

"It's important for people to understand that the Target boycott never ended; that it was indefinite from the beginning, unless and until Target reversed course on its decision to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion," said Armstrong, an organizer of the national Target boycott.

“What we’ve seen is Target engaging in PR campaigns: recruiting high-visibility Black ministers to meet with them, partnering with (rapper and businessman) Jay-Z, all types of different shenanigans to deflect from the fact that they abandon their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and capitulation to the Trump administration.”

Hussein said the costume incident was “not surprising.”

"It was almost predictable because of the behavior of Target, and I think this is going to build on the momentum of the boycott. More people are going to be upset," he said.

At 6-month mark, US pivots on Iran

President who vowed swift win in war now focused on sanctions

By Aamer Madhani ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump arrives at an awkward moment for his presidency Friday, the day the U.S.-Israel war against Iran reached the six-month mark, a notable milestone for a conflict that the Republican leader repeatedly assured Americans would be a “little excursion” lasting weeks.

The war isn't over but Trump claims that through bombs and a blockade, he has devastated Iran's leadership, military and economy.

And this week his administration said it would turn its focus to increasing economic pressure – rather than military action – to try to finish off Iran. The shifting strategy centers on threats to punish any country or entity that continues to conduct business with Tehran.

Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned a new round of U.S. economic measures against the country, calling them “economic terrorism” and saying Tehran would counter them.

The ministry said the sanctions violated international law and called on other countries to refrain from implementing them.

This week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to sever Iran from the global economy and threatened countries that continue to do business with Iran with secondary sanctions.

The turn to using sanctions as the cudgel of choice comes as the administration weighs diminished munitions stockpiles after months of war, sparking concerns that the prolonged conflict could undermine U.S. military readiness in other parts of the globe.

As the conflict grinds on, Trump's talk of finding a quick end to the war also appears to be fading. He stressed this week that he's "not in a hurry" to get Iran back to the negotiating table, and he still makes the case that the Islamic Republic's leadership is on the ropes.

"They're not paying their troops. They're in deep trouble. They have very little capacity," Trump told reporters Thursday. "We don't want to speak to them. We're not looking to meet or anything," he said.

It's unclear how — or if — Trump will address the six-month anniversary of a conflict that has already cost the United States more than \$37.5 billion and done damage to his popularity ahead of critical November elections for his party. The president spent Friday in Houston to honor the Artemis II NASA crew for its 10-day mission around the moon earlier this year.

On its face, the moment is complicated for the “America First” leader who fiercely criticized his White House predecessors for wasting American taxpayer money and U.S. troops’ lives in Middle East conflicts and vowed on the campaign trail to keep the military out of "endless wars."

But Trump has bristled at suggestions that this war — in which no American troops have deployed into Iran — can be compared with the yearslong wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in which more than 7,000 Americans were killed.

His Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, was widely mocked for a 2003 speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln beneath a White House-produced banner that read “Mission Accomplished.” It came to symbolize a premature declaration of victory for the Iraq War, which lasted nearly nine more years. More than two decades later, there are still U.S. troops stationed in Iraq.

This week, Trump in a social media post declared: "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 2026." The AI-generated image features Trump against a backdrop of U.S. fighter jets, a warship and American flags above smaller images of Bush and former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike in the opening salvos of the war, which started Feb. 28.

Trump has consistently emphasized that the U.S. and Israel campaign has been devastating for Iran's navy and air force. Iranian officials have said the country has suffered \$270 billion in direct and indirect damage. Israeli military strikes in the first weeks of the war wiped out much of the theocratic government's leadership structure, including Khamenei.

But Iran has found leverage through its own strikes in the critical Strait of Hormuz, where relatively few vessels carrying oil and liquefied natural gas are risking passage. Trump again declared Thursday that the "Strait of Hormuz is open," saying 24 vessels passed through a day earlier. That's a fraction of the roughly 130 vessels that passed through the vital waterway daily before the war began.

Mediators Qatar and Pakistan continue to press for a diplomatic off-ramp from the two sides. Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, was in Tehran on Thursday to discuss a proposed plan between Iran and Oman to boost traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Bessent this week unveiled a campaign the White House calls “Operation Economic Outcast,” but only issued warnings to nations to cut trade and has yet to announce any secondary sanctions. The Treasury Department on Friday said it was taking steps that could lead to eventually severing Banque Misr, Egypt’s second-largest bank, from the U.S. financial system. The department accused the bank of serving as an economic lifeline to Tehran’s leadership.

China, which is Iran's biggest trade partner and oil buyer, responded earlier this week to the Trump administration's broad threats of going after countries and firms that still do trade with Iran by expressing its opposition to "illegal unilateral sanctions."

Rescuers retrieve flood survivors caked in mud

Death toll nears 600 with 2,500 missing in Nepal-China tragedy

By Niranjan Shrestha and Shristi Kafle ASSOCIATED PRESS

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Rescuers pulled out survivors caked in dark brown mud and helicopters lifted stranded people to safety, as Nepal and China raced to respond to catastrophic flash floods that killed nearly 600 people and left almost 2,500 missing.

The rescue efforts included a team that rappelled into a severely damaged checkpoint area on the Chinese side of the border between the two countries. Rescuers were on high alert for more flooding from a new lake that formed high up in the Himalayan mountains after the initial floods Wednesday. Experts warned that the lake, created after a glacier collapse that triggered the floods, was starting to overflow.

Scientists who studied satellite images said bedrock underneath a glacier high in the Himalayan region had collapsed, taking part of the glacier with it. The rockfall was so extreme that it registered as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake. The rocks and melted ice then swelled the rivers in the valleys below, causing a torrent of water that swept buildings, bridges and earth downstream in Tibet and Nepal.

Nepal's army was deployed to help rescue more than 100 people believed trapped inside a tunnel at a hydropower plant located in the country's worst-hit district. Like elsewhere in the disaster zone, their work was complicated by thick layers of mud that covered the site.

The rappelling team descended into the once-bustling border-crossing area from wooded mountain slopes, the state broadcaster China Central Television said.

"As far as I can see, it's nothing but debris," rescue official Zou Mingqi told state media. The area where travelers went through border control to enter or leave China has been flattened to a muddy mess, according to satellite images.

The floods have killed 579 in Nepal, the country's disaster-management authority said Friday. Nepali police later put the number of deaths at 553. There was little information on survivors on the Chinese side, where the death toll rose to 7 on Friday as state media showed evacuations of villages and leaders' efforts to direct the relief response.

More than 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal. Meanwhile, the number of people who were unaccounted for in the country nearly doubled to 1,924 as more local residents were added to the tally.

China's state media previously said 554 people were missing on the Chinese side. Hundreds of the missing are foreigners in the area to work, trek or make a pilgrimage to a sacred peak. About 90 Americans were unaccounted for.

Nepali police issued a fresh alert Friday after receiving information that a dam on the Tibet side had burst. Security personnel, and rescue and relief workers were told to stay on high alert and move to a safe location if necessary.

It was unclear if the dam bursting was related to flooding concerns over the lake that formed after the initial flash floods. Chinese broadcaster CCTV said the newly formed lake, located more than 6 miles from Gyirong Port, the hard-hit border crossing with Nepal, sits at an elevation of 9,680 feet.

Nepali and Chinese authorities earlier warned of more flooding from the lake, which was already overflowing. Rescue workers heading to the disaster zone were ordered to stop temporarily Friday due to concern the lake would release more water and debris, and people in potentially affected areas were urged to move to safer ground.

Monitoring data from the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources later showed that the lake had dwindled in size. The water level dropped by 32 feet from the high point on Thursday morning, the state broadcaster said.

Some 680 rescuers eventually reached the Gyirong area by foot and via rafts. Some were dropped down from drones flown to the area, CCTV footage showed. "Anyone, anyone?" rescuers yelled, according to footage by the broadcaster.

It was not immediately known how many people were at the border checkpoint building when the floods hit.

In Nepal's Rasuwa district, Nepali army rescuers struggled to help more than 100 people believed to be trapped by thick mud in a tunnel that's part of the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project. The army said it had rescued 350 people from the tunnel so far.

Video from the scene showed rescuers helping a man covered in mud out of the tunnel by pulling and pushing. "It is complicated to find the entry and exit points of the tunnel because everything has been covered by mud," Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Raja Ram Basnet said.

Nepal's disaster-management authority said 3,253 people had been airlifted by helicopter from the disaster area.

Trump appeals case after judge again halts mail ballot executive order

By Nicholas Riccardi ASSOCIATED PRESS

A federal judge Thursday halted attempts to implement President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting, and the Trump administration Friday filed a notice of appeal.

Thursday's move stalled the directive for a second time only about a week before the first mail ballots are due to be sent out for the rapidly approaching midterm elections. U.S. District Court

Judge Indira Talwani blocked the government from implementing the order for two weeks.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will next consider the case — but it could soon be appealed back to the Supreme Court, days after the justices handed down a procedural decision that allowed the administration to move ahead.

The ruling Thursday came after Democrats and voting rights groups refiled their lawsuits to comply with the recent Supreme Court decision. The high court's conservative majority did not rule on the legality of Trump's order, instead saying Talwani had acted too soon.

Now the administration has issued a formal rule governing whether the U.S. Postal Service will deliver states' mail ballots, effectively restarting the legal fight.

The whipsawing legal battle has major ramifications for the midterms. Nearly one-third of Americans vote by mail and election officials contend there isn't enough time to revise their systems to comply with the new Postal Service directives.

The Postal Service says it won't deliver mail ballots unless states provide a list of voters who should receive them and format the envelopes in a certain way.

“Plaintiff states have neither time nor funds to design new mail ballots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the USPS portal and upload citizen data to the portal, all before the midterms," Talwani wrote Thursday. A hearing in the case is set for next Thursday.

"This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control. Today, a federal court halted it before this administration could wreak havoc on our elections," New York Attorney General Letitia James, one of two dozen

Democratic attorneys general who filed one of the suits, said in a statement after the order.

Democrats and voting rights groups contend the Postal Services' demand is unconstitutional. The Constitution, they note, grants states and, in some instances, Congress the power to make election rules – not the president or Postal Service.

Trump has long targeted mail voting, which he falsely blames for his 2020 election loss even though he himself uses it to cast his ballot.

Arborists try to save rare ‘witness tree’

Prior supports choke oak dating to before Revolutionary War

By Allen G. Breed ASSOCIATED PRESS

EUTAW SPRINGS, S.C. — Standing beneath the spreading branches of a massive live oak, historian Garrison Marcoux tries to imagine what this scarred, struggling tree saw 245 years ago.

Did one of the British soldiers encamped at this South Carolina crossroad near the end of the Revolutionary War sit in the oak's shade to recuperate from the series of attacks in American Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene's "war of posts?"

Did he or his comrades take cover behind its then slender trunk and fire at the onrushing Continental Army?

Perhaps a soldier took his last breath beneath its canopy, watering its roots with his blood.

"I'm a spiritual person," Marcoux, with the South Carolina Battlefield Preservation Trust, said as workers clamber among the limbs above. "To say that a place that experienced a lot of violence and intense emotion and things like that doesn't hold some kind of energy is probably not likely. I think that energy exists where something like this happened."

This is a “witness tree.”

And it now faces its own fight for survival.

After multiple attempts to stave off its death over the decades, it is being choked by the chains and cables meant to support it.

Preservationists are working to save this unique, living reminder of an oft-overshadowed chapter in U.S. history.

Arborists estimate that the tree was about 50 years old on Sept. 8, 1781, when British and colonial forces clashed during the Battle of Eutaw Springs — considered by historians to be the last open-field engagement of the American Revolution.

"It's very rare to have a witness tree, especially from the Revolutionary War," Marcoux said on a recent sultry morning as gnats and mosquitoes buzzed around his head. "To have the tree that witnessed this battle and still standing is short of a miracle."

Among the officers were famous names like Lt. Col. Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee and Brig. Gen. Francis Marion, better known as the “Swamp Fox.”

About 2,500 Americans attacked the roughly 2,000 British and Loyalist troops camped around a fortified brick house.

Greene, who had a horse shot out from under him during the battle, called Eutaw Springs "by far, the hottest action I ever saw, and the most bloody for the numbers engaged."

Lt. Col. Alexander Stewart, the British field commander that day, later wrote to Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis, “I assure you the Action was bloody and obstinate.”

There were 1,461 killed, wounded, captured or missing. Both sides would claim victory.

“That tree probably took a few lead balls itself,” says arborist Aron Landsaw.

The combatants would move on. The oak remained

— and faced several more battles of its own.

Hung with swaying Spanish moss, its branches festooned with bright-green resurrection fern, the tree reaches 45 feet into the sky, its canopy spreading about 130 feet.

Its trunk is 72 inches in diameter at breast height.

The twin springs that gave the Revolutionary War battle its name are no more, inundated by the 1940s project that flooded the Santee River basin for hydroelectric power and flood control. Development in the 1960s swallowed up much of what the lake project spared.

The tree survived it all.

Then, about 50 years ago, lightning struck the oak's crotch, splitting the tree nearly in two. Workers lashed the broad branches together with steel cables and chains.

But the mechanisms that saved the oak are now slowly killing it.

As the tree grew, the metal bands cut into the trunk and branches, in some places disappearing beneath a scar-like covering of bark.

"The chains and cables are actually choking it out," says Landsaw. "It can't pull nutrients up from the soil."

Preservationists hope to reverse that.

South Carolina 250 and the American Battlefield Trust joined forces to hire New York state-based SavATree for the project as the U.S. marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Crews recently used a supersonic air tool to de-compact the ground around the tree's roots, then injected a kelp mixture to add nutrients to the soil.

The day of Marcoux's visit, SavATree workers hammered little blunt lightning rods into the main branches, connecting them with shiny copper cables that converge on a longer copper rod pounded deep into the ground about 10 feet from the trunk.

"If lightning does hit it, it'll run down the copper cables and dissipate into the ground," says Landsaw, a consulting arborist with SavATree.

Next, workers will install new cables, bolted into the five main branches, to stabilize the tree before removing the old supports.

"There's going to be a center hub in the middle that connects all these cables and allows the tree to sway with the wind and move around when it needs to," Landsaw explains.

Landsaw says this is the most significant project he's ever worked on.

While he can't promise the tree will live another three centuries, Landsaw is confident it will be around to inspire new generations of Americans.

“We’re focusing on another 100 years at least,” he says. “Hopefully longer.”

4 Artemis II astronauts receive top space honor for lunar flyby

By Marcia Dunn ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Artemis II astronauts who flew around the moon earlier this year received the nation's highest space honor Friday.

President Donald Trump presented the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the three Americans and one Canadian whose April lunar flyby set a new distance record for humanity.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and other dignitaries took part in the packed ceremony at Houston's Johnson Space Center, home to Mission Control. Trump used the occasion to announce the creation of a U.S. Space Academy for the Space Force as well as NASA and the commercial space community.

“Space is the hot thing,” the president told the crowd, adding that the academy’s location has yet to be determined.

Cmdr. Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canada's Jeremy Hansen became the first astronauts to travel to the moon in more than a half-century, coming within 4,067 miles while test-driving NASA's new Orion capsule. They were the first to launch aboard NASA's new moon rocket, a 30-story behemoth that had soared only once before from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.

While they didn't stop at the moon, the four set the stage for next year's Artemis III docking rehearsal in orbit around Earth. Artemis IV's moon landing by two astronauts, near the lunar south pole, could follow as soon as 2028.

Trump said Americans will land back on the moon before his term ends. Mars is next — “very shortly,” he said.

The president called the newest recipients “four intrepid space heroes.”

He pointed out that they did not do it alone, thanking all who contributed to the Artemis II mission.

“There are no finer humans we could have sent as our ambassadors to the stars,” Isaacman added.

Wiseman and his crew are in good company, with only 30 astronauts receiving the prestigious honor before them. Many of the recipients were honored posthumously following their tragic space-flight-related deaths.

Apollo 11 Cmdr. Neil Armstrong – whose phrase "That's one step for man, one giant leap for mankind" gripped the world on July

20, 1969 — was the first to receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.

President Jimmy Carter awarded six of these medals in 1978, which also went to Alan Shepard, the first American in space; John Glenn, the first American in orbit; and Apollo 8 Cmdr. Frank Borman, whose 1968 mission marked humanity's first lunar voyage.

The most recent recipients were Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, the first astronauts to launch aboard a SpaceX rocket. Coming nine years after the space shuttle program's close, their 2020 test flight to the International Space Station restored America's ability to launch crews from home soil. President Joe Biden awarded them the medals in 2023.

Dozens of astronauts participated in the ceremony, including Apollo 17 moonwalker Harrison Schmitt, 91, and the four men assigned to NASA's upcoming Artemis III mission.

Schmitt noted that his mission — Apollo's last moonshot — was the most productive lunar exploration yet.

“Soon to be surpassed by Artemis,” he said of active astronauts standing behind him.

Judge again blocks Trump's bid to erase hush money conviction

NEW YORK — A federal judge Friday once again spurned President Donald Trump's effort to erase his hush money conviction, rejecting Trump's bid to move the state court case to federal court and have it dismissed on presidential immunity grounds.

Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein reiterated his earlier finding against Trump, saying that the reasons Trump cited for renewing his request were "neither new nor legally sufficient."

The judge added: "He has failed to show good cause and diligence."

It is the third time Hellerstein has blocked Trump from having the U.S. District Court in Manhattan seize control of the case from the New York court where he was tried and convicted.

And, like before, Trump will appeal, according to a spokesperson for his legal team who called Hellerstein's ruling "baseless and lawless."

"The Supreme Court's historic decision on Immunity, the Federal and New York State Constitutions, and other established legal precedent mandate that the Witch Hunt perpetrated by the Manhattan DA be removed to federal court, and immediately overturned and dismissed," a statement issued on behalf of the legal team said. "President Trump will be filing a powerful appeal, and will continue defeating Democrat weaponization at every turn."

The guilty verdict, reached in May 2024 while Trump was between terms, made him the first former — and now current — U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.

Trump is also challenging his conviction through the state court appellate process, which is pending.

Hellerstein's decision came after a federal appeals court last year ordered him to reconsider his prior denial. The judge previewed his ruling during oral arguments in February, slamming Trump's lawyers for legal maneuvers that amounted to taking “two bites at the apple.”

State prosecutors did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump was convicted in May 2024 of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a \$130,000 hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, whose claim of a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier had threatened to upend his 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge, which left his conviction intact but spared him any punishment. He had long denied Daniels' claim and said he did nothing wrong. He has sought to get the conviction overturned both by attempting to move the case to federal court and through the appeals process in state court, which is pending.

Hellerstein rejected Trump's requests to move the case twice before.

The first was after Trump's March 2023 indictment.

The second was after Trump's trial, as his lawyers sought to nix his conviction in the wake of the Supreme Court's July 2024 ruling that presidents and ex-presidents can't be prosecuted for official acts and prosecutors can't use official acts as evidence that unofficial actions were illegal.

Trump appealed Hellerstein's post-trial ruling and, last November, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the judge to reconsider his decision, finding that he had failed to consider "important issues relevant" to the president's request to move the case.

A three-judge appellate panel said it expressed no view on how he should rule but instructed Hellerstein to closely review evidence that Trump claimed was related to official acts and whether Trump could argue those actions were taken as part of his White House duties.

The judges also instructed Hellerstein to determine if Trump had “diligently sought” to have the case moved to federal court and whether the case can even be moved to federal court now that Trump has been convicted and sentenced in state court.

In his written ruling Friday, Hellerstein said Trump was asking for a “second bite at the apple,” a result the law disfavors.”

NEWS BRIEFING

National Park Service supports Trump's arch despite sight line impact

lenge filed by three veterans and a group of historians.

FROM NEWS SERVICES

WASHINGTON — A new National Park Service report backs President Donald Trump's proposed arch, despite what it says are adverse effects to the sight line between a host of iconic landmarks in Washington, including the Washington Monument and Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.

The report released Friday says the 250-foot-tall memorial arch is likely to disrupt the historical significance of dozens of sites near its planned location adjacent to Memorial Bridge.

Many of Washington's monuments, buildings and sites have been carefully planned over decades to reflect significant moments in the nation's history and to evoke symbolism through sight lines that connect them to other sites. The arch will disturb the sight line between more iconic Washington landmarks than anticipated, the report said.

But the Park Service report says “the same characteristics that make Memorial Circle sensitive from a preservation perspective are also the characteristics that make it the historically appropriate location for the undertaking.”

The project's effects cannot be “fully avoided without either relocating the Arch away from the historically identified site or eliminating the principal commemorative feature, both of which would fail to meet the undertaking’s purpose and need,” the report said.

“For this reason, alternative locations outside Memorial Circle are not reasonable avoidance alternatives,” the report said.

The 133-page report by the Park Service supports Trump's plans for the controversial arch and could play an important role in bolstering the administration's case in its fight against a legal chal-

The proposed towering gilded arch, which last month received initial approval from a key federal commission, would impact the “integrity” of dozens of historic properties because it would change “character-defining visual and spatial relationships” between them.

One of the most obvious elements the report cited is that the arch would break alignment between the Lincoln Memorial, Memorial Bridge and Arlington House that was formerly Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's home. That alignment was "intended to physically and symbolically unite North and South through a coordinated monumental composition extending across the Potomac River," the report said.

Israeli attacks deadly: Israeli airstrikes killed five people in Gaza and three in the West Bank on Friday, despite a fragile ceasefire brokered by the United States.

Meanwhile, thousands of sailors remain stranded in the Persian Gulf by the Iran war, while Iran is touting an energy deal with Russia and the U.S. has imposed restrictions on a major Egyptian bank for its ties with Iran.

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed five people, local hospital officials said Friday. Two brothers and another relative died in a strike on the family's home outside Khan Younis, officials at Nasser Hospital said. Two separate Israeli strikes killed one person each in Gaza City, according to health officials at Shifa hospital.

Israel's military confirmed the Gaza strikes but said it was not aware of the one in Khan Younis.

Israel's military said it killed three Palestinians in an airstrike in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, describing one of the dead as a Hamas operative and the two others as accomplices. The military identified one of the targets as Qais Bitawi, alleged to be “involved in advancing significant terrorist activity.”

The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed Bitawi had been killed, along with two others. Hamas condemned the strike as a “heinous crime.”

Iran's leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, on Friday declared that actions undermining national unity in the political, security, cultural, social or economic spheres are prohibited. He warned that even measures with some support could ultimately be harmful if their broader social consequences are ignored.

Florida grand jury report: A Florida grand jury found that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration "misappropriated" \$10 million in taxpayer money it diverted to a charity connected to his wife, but it declined to file criminal charges due to a lack of evidence indicating who specifically was responsible.

DeSantis on Thursday did not dispute the legitimacy of the secret grand jury report obtained and published online by CBS News Miami, but he insisted no laws were broken and said whoever leaked the sealed documents would face “consequences.”

The Leon County grand jury completed its report in January on investigations into Hope Florida, the charity started in 2021 by Florida first lady Casey DeSantis. Despite the lack of charges, the report ignited a new round of criticism aimed at DeSantis and other top state Republicans over the charity receiving \$10 million from a state Medicaid settlement intended to help poor children get health insurance.

Commentator detained: U.S. Immigration officials arrested controversial British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos on Thursday in New Orleans, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Immigration officials announced on Friday that Yiannopoulos was arrested at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and accused him of overstaying after entering the United States legally in May 2019 through New York City.

An immigration judge issued a final order of removal on July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to show up for his immigration hearing, a DHS spokesperson wrote in an email.

“He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” a spokesperson for DHS wrote in an emailed statement.

4 guilty in arson attack: Four men pleaded guilty Friday to destroying four Jewish community ambulances in an arson attack in north London earlier this year that many said was a direct result of the start of the Iran war.

Sentencing will take place in the spring of 2027 at the conclusion of a separate trial involving another man charged in connection with the ambulance attack, Justice

Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said at London's Central Criminal Court.

Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali, both 18, faced a charge of destroying or damaging property and of being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

The ambulances each cost around \$340,000.

New Norway king: Norway has a new king, whose tasks will include stabilizing the Scandinavian country's monarchy and boosting the royal family's popularity after his wife's past contacts with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his stepson's rape conviction.

Crown Prince Haakon, 53, became King Haakon VIII when his father, Harald V, died Friday at 89.

Haakon adopted the motto, "All for Norway," that dates back to his great-grandfather. His wife became Queen Mette-Marit, while his oldest child became Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra and the heir to the throne.

YAYOI KUSAMA 1929-2026

Artist's spattering of polka dots became her signature pattern

TOKYO – Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who splashed her signature polka dots on paintings, sculptures and museum installations around the world, has died, her studio said Thursday. She was 97.

Kusama died Aug. 14 at a hospital in Tokyo, Yayoi Kusama Studio said, without specifying the cause of death.

“She continued to paint until her final days, never setting aside her brush, and continued exploration of forever love and eternal soul,” the studio’s statement said. “We will carry forward Kusama’s wishes and, through art, continue to bring hope and strength for the future to people around the world.”

Kusama, one of Japan's most respected contemporary artists, was widely exhibited around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Museum Ludwig in Germany.

Repetitive motifs were her trademark, in various shapes, resembling netting, swirls or worms, but most often dots, dancing proudly on her canvases, or as sparkling balls or dots of light in her installations, in all their vibrant psychedelic glory.

“Polka dots are fabulous,” Kusama said in a 2012 interview with The Associated Press, appearing in her signature orange bob wig and polka dot attire. “I want to create a thousand paintings, maybe 2,000 paintings, as many as I can draw,” she said in her childlike but matter-of-fact tone. “I will keep painting until I die.”

Kusama insisted she drew the way she saw the world: covered with spots, part of the hallucinations she said she had from childhood. She was in and out of psychiatric institution for decades, although her sickness did not hold her back as she was one of the first Japanese women to go to New York to pursue her art in 1957.

Although soft-spoken and shy, Kusama was always bold in the assertion of her dotty vision, not only in sticking to the style for decades but also in making it accessible to the masses. In her later years, she enjoyed fame. She signed on with fashion brands like Louis Vuitton as well as other licensed products like teacups, T-shirts and key chains with her illustrations, including replicas of her likeness that were used in show windows and other marketing.

In 2008, Christie's auctioned her work for \$5.8 million. In 2016, she won the most prestigious award Japan gives its artists, the Order of Culture.

Upon receiving the award, she told reporters she was more determined than ever to pursue her art, stressing that the sincerity and devotion she had demonstrated in her personal life were crucial parts of her artistic legacy. “I feel there is little left in my life, but I am now still fighting to the death for my art,” she said. “I am giving all I have so that many people will continue to be interested in my art, even after I am dead.”

She was born in a middle-class family but felt misunderstood, as her parents wanted her to simply get married. They wanted to buy her kimono, not paints and brushes. She knew she had to get away. She chose America. When she arrived in New York, the fad was “action painting” — dribbles, swooshes and smears — not dots. She suffered years of poverty and obscurity. But she kept painting dots.

While in New York, she befriended artists like Andy Warhol, Georgia O'Keeffe and Joseph Cornell, who praised her innovative style.

Kusama, who has also made films and published several novels, said she wasn't sure where she got her ideas. "I think, 'Oh, I drew that? I was thinking that,' she said.

She was also a disarming mix of vulnerability and defiance, at one moment declaring herself “an artistic revolutionary,” and then mumbling: “I am so afraid, all the time, of everything.”

The news of her death was met with an outpouring of sadness from around the world, including museums that had exhibited her works.

Messages recognizing her death were sent from people throughout Japan including Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and Yoshitomo Nara, a younger Japanese artist who has exhibited widely abroad.

“RIP Kusama-sensei,” Nara wrote on his X account, respectfully calling her a teacher in Japanese.

PETER CULLEN 1941-2026

As Optimus Prime, voice actor left lasting mark on pop culture

By Mark Kennedy ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Peter Cullen, a prolific voice actor who enlivened scores of TV series, specials and movies, including Optimus Prime in the syndicated 1984 series “Transformers” and Eeyore in the Winnie-the-Pooh cartoon franchise, has died. He was 85.

His agent, Kevin Motley, said Cullen died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles.

“His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember ‘be strong enough to be gentle,’” said a family statement.

Cullen's career spanned from being an announcer at the groundbreaking late-1960s comedy and variety series "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" and joining comedy sketches for Sonny & Cher to voice acting in "The Smurfs" and multiple G.I. Joe iterations. But he struck a nerve as Optimus Prime.

While the original cartoon ran just a few years, it left an indelible mark on pop culture, with a toy line, spinoff cartoon series and comics produced over the next two decades. That culminated in the launch of a multibillion-dollar, live-action film franchise in 2007 by Michael Bay.

Before his audition, Cullen only knew that he would be reading for the part of a truck, though giving voice to a vehicle didn't seem that crazy.

“You’re always auditioning for something in animation that’s a little off of the norm,” Cullen said in 2019.

When Cullen read about the heroic Autobot leader that turned into a red cabover semitrailer, he thought about his older brother, who had served as a U.S. Marine in the Vietnam War.

"He was my hero, and he certainly was the mainstay behind the character," Cullen said. "I just did an impression of Larry, and he's still alive in my mind today because every time I do Prime, there's my brother Larry."

Cullen's authoritative baritone as Optimus Prime also appeared in 2009's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" through "Dark of the Moon," "Age of Extinction," "The Last Knight," "Bumblebee" and "Rise of the Beasts" in 2023.

His thoughtful, almost operatic lines would be quoted for decades by kids and adults alike: “I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting,” he said in the first movie. In another, he intoned: “Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.”

Other highlights from Cullen's prolific career include voicing Eeyore across various "Winnie-the-Pooh" projects, including Disney's "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" TV series that aired from 1988-91, as well as voicing the villainous KARR opposite KITT in the 1980s NBC series "Knight Rider," and lending his pipes to King Kong in the Jeff Bridges-led "King Kong" remake in 1976.

"Optimus is my favorite character because it's been so well received and it's had such an effect on so many people," Cullen told The New York Times in 2008. "Because of that, I hold it closer than any other character I've done — outside of maybe Eeyore, who's had a considerable effect on younger children too."

One of Cullen's strangest jobs had no words at all: He provided the clicking sounds for the main alien creature in "Predator," which he said he based on the sounds of a dying horseshoe crab.

Cullen received a lifetime achievement award at the Children's & Family Emmy Awards in 2023 and was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for voicing Optimus Prime in 2011.

Cullen would attend conventions around the country to meet with fans from multiple generations, often getting teary. He said parents sometimes got more excited than their children meeting him.

"I expect that I will run into a father with his son, and the father will more than likely get choked up," Cullen said before MegaCon Orlando in 2019. "And then I get choked up, and then the kid is saying, 'What are these two grown men getting choked up about?'

Cullen is survived by his four children, Angus, Claire, Pilar and Clay.

REVIEW BTS AT SOLDIER FIELD

The perpetual joy machine

than an hour before showtime.


South Korean K-pop band BTS performs in New Jersey on Aug. 1. GETTY

By Christopher Borrelli CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The BTS ARMY, a true standing army if you judge by its general unwillingness to sit for a second of BTS's show

at Soldier Field on Thursday night, is a peacekeeping force. Its ranks are smart and funny and like to hand you free photos of their favorite members.

But they will fight you.

They come armed with pulsing globe-shaped light sticks called ARMY Bombs; they wear monochrome basketball jerseys and more black than your neighborhood goth. Do not ask which of the seven BTS members will abandon the BTS treadmill first. (It'll never happen, duh; besides, there are contractual obligations, I was informed, plus BTS members have already recorded at least 10 solo albums.) Also, do not bring up the history of unapologetically prefabricated boy bands (New Edition, Backstreet Boys, One Direction, the Monkees), however earnestly. ("Prefabricated," one 30-something fan from Auburn-Gresham told me, is just another word for "destined.")

Also, look, it's ARMY, not army, get that right, OK?

The BTS ARMY is so invested in the typography, choreography, marketing and future of BTS — these people talk more about statistics than baseball fans — I half-jokingly considered inviting a few ARMY members to co-author this piece with me. The problem is, we would probably be arguing for days over which moment on Thursday was the peak.

Take your pick of peaks.

That steamrolling, nearly tribal second act, in which seven slight guys, no one's definition of intimidating, proved they throw down as hard as most contemporary hip hop? Or the Bad Bunny-esque street parade they led through the arena afterward? The opening number, "Hooligan," in which their dancers, dressed as ninjas and carrying blow torches, rushed the stage and chaos erupted and the audience grew so deafening that the music itself was drowned out? Or that breezy Timberlake-ish summertime neo-soul stroll through "Dynamite"? The way they winked and blew kisses? Or that time one of them — I forget which, I was overwhelmed — looked into a camera and, addressing the citizens of Chicago, said, "Can I be honest with you? You are just too sexy tonight"?

There was so much exploding and erupting going on, after every few numbers, a handful of crew members took the stage with leaf blowers and politely cleared away the confetti.

In short, BTS live — so to speak, since there are no musicians backing them on stage, and it's never entirely clear how much recorded music is employed at a K-pop concert (another sensitive point among fans) — are fantastically entertaining, rousing for long stretches, their easygoing nonchalance cutting through the literal scaffolding of an aircraft carrier-size stage and silos of fireworks firing every five minutes. No joke, the backup dancers — 50 of them, according to the BTS media team — strut around carrying flamethrowers. I mean, for god's sake, on a Thursday night!

I entered slightly skeptical, and emerged — well, not devoted, but definitely delighted. In keeping with K-pop tradition, BTS even like to shout in unison: “We ... are ... B ... T ... S!”

They are also, by many measures, the most popular pop act on Earth right now, with reason. They offer something for everyone, machine-tooled, designed and assembled in South Korea. They enter like badasses, behind wraparound sunglasses and gangster struts, and yet as the show goes on, they grow gentler, and by the end they're even smiling and poking at each other playfully. There's Olympics ceremony-size pageantry. There's avant-garde, Kanye-style "Yeezy"-era spookiness — at one point, a congregation of monkish dancers gathers, only to turn and exit, and it's hard to say what was going on. While you wait for the show to start, they don't pipe in random pop hits, like a typical pop concert; you listen to the rhythmic acoustic plucking of Korean folk songs.

As for BTS's music, the sound is both immediately catchy and, considering how much personality its individual members show, frustratingly impersonal at times. Sometimes I'm reminded of no-name bands that play house parties in teen movies, steering around licensing fees using sorta recognizable melodies. Sometimes I hear a knowing act with great taste and a clever ear for meshing disparate thoughts and hiring a who's who of contemporary hitmakers (Steve Aoki, Benny Blanco, Diplo), pairing thumping EDM beats against melancholic choruses, floating Tame Impala vibes against Eminem gloom.

At their best, though, this is a lush joy machine, and one that doesn't end with a raging goodbye but the tender "Into the Sun," the kind of stoic wind-down that U2 once favored.

Back to those fans, who, no question, provide about half of that joy.

As I walked through the Loop on the way to Soldier Field, a car full of them pulled up alongside me and asked if this parking lot on State Street was free? Free! Delightful!

As I waited in the very long line to enter — a line that stretched out of Soldier Field and up the south steps of the Field Museum — Kevin and Maria Garcia of North Carolina told me this was their seventh BTS show, and BTS, incidentally, are not a cheap ticket. OK, how much? Kevin laughed: "So, so, we haven't really done the math yet." There were fans in sailor suits, fans in white dress shirts and ties, fans wearing stuffed animals on their heads

– all nods to BTS iconography. I saw a bejeweled service dog. A woman walked past handing out homemade stickers and asking: "Are you here as emotional support or ARMY?" What's the difference? "Emotional support is here to drink." ARMY, however, buys so much BTS merch that the tables for BTS T-shirts, BTS light wands (\$69) and BTS towels (\$40) were almost empty more

On the off chance you were born yesterday, BTS formed in 2013 but then lost almost three and a half years of that time since to mandatory service in the South Korean military. And so this tour was kind of a global comeback for its members. Fans told me so much about them. Jungkook, the baby of the group, uses a rolled-up towel for a pillow. RM, the leader, loves “Friends.” Jin, the oldest, calls himself “Worldwide Handsome.” Jimin is the best dancer. V, just V, is the most original. Suga is the introvert. And j-hope — my favorite, or as K-pop fans say, my bias — has amazing cheekbones.

Fans, by the way, say these things almost with a wink themselves, aware they're playing a role in an old pop story. They know K-pop, like Motown before it, is as much a production model as it is a genre. So there is natural rigidness at times, a lockstep that has nothing to do with compulsive military service. Even moments of fan interaction are scripted. (I know because I was given a setlist a few days before the show.) As with Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour, there's a segment when the group plays a pair of "surprise" songs not played in every other city, and it's noticeable how much fun they seem to be having here, any glowering replaced with looseness.

BTS is showing signs of breaking apart its mold. Members have refused to enter their music into the new Grammy category of best Asian pop music performance; they are universal, and not just South Korean, they insist, and rightfully so. Though their hit song “Body to Body” incorporates the melody of a beloved South Korean folk tune, “Arirang” (which is also the name of their latest album), watch their Netflix documentary “BTS: The Return,” and they openly worry over whether they sound too nationalistic.

They don't.

They sing mostly about mental health scares and self-empowerment and being taken seriously and, of course, love, though with a wistful nostalgia in their voices that reminds you they're almost all out of their 20s now. Near the end of their show, they sit on an enormous lazy susan and speak with the audience as sincerely as you can in a football stadium – like Bruce Springsteen before them, they are masters of curling into your lap, at scale. Then they unfold their lanky bodies, begin singing again, the fans unleash another new wave of bliss, and there's nothing artificial about it.

Dion keeping 'big secret' on 1st song

FROM NEWS SERVICES

Celine Dion blew kisses and made a love-heart shape with her hands as she swept into Paris on Friday for her first series of concerts since revealing her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome.

Fans yelling, “We’re so happy to see you,” and, “We love you,” crowded with journalists outside a Paris hotel as the Grammy-winning star settled in to prepare her residency of 16 shows in September and October at the Plenitude Arena in the French capital’s western suburbs. The first show opens Sept. 12.

“I am ready, and I'm a bit uptight, of course, because it's been a long time,” she told French broadcaster BFMTV.

"I have always felt supported from the first day and because it's a story that continues. It's true that this is my second home," the Quebec-born singer said.

Asked which song she'd sing first, Dion replied: "I can't say, it's a big secret!"

The Paris concerts, to be followed by 10 more in May, mark a major milestone for Dion after years away from touring due to the rare neurological disorder she disclosed in 2022.

With nearly 260 million albums sold worldwide,

Dion remains one of the bestselling and most decorated artists in pop music history, known for hits including “My Heart Will Go On” and “Because You Loved Me.”

The concert series, titled "Celine Dion Paris 2026-2027," will feature her catalog of hits in English and French.

Dion wowed with a brief but widely watched return at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics in 2024, singing “Hymne à l’amour” (Hymn to love) atop the Eiffel Tower.

Parton streams skyrocket: Dolly Parton was many things, but for many, her death Tuesday has served as a reminder that at the heart of her legacy is her role as a songwriter. And people are streaming her songs accordingly.

Luminate, the industry data and analytics company, found that audio and video streams of Parton's discography skyrocketed 2,109% on the day of her death, compared to Monday — climbing from 1.2 million to 26.3 million in the United States. Worldwide, her streams jumped 1,280%, from 2.5 million on Monday to 35 million Tuesday.

Among the top streamed songs are “Jolene,” “9 to 5” “Islands in the Stream”

with Kenny Rogers, and her performance of “I Will Always Love You.”

Entertainer Morgan dies: Jaye P. Morgan — one of the top female recording artists of the 1950s with five hits in 1955 alone, including “That’s All I Want From You,” and who later became a frequent talk show guest and game show panelist, infamously taking off her shirt on “The Gong Show”

- has died. She was 94.

Morgan died Monday of natural causes in Longview, Washington, said longtime attorney Mark Sendroff.

Morgan scored several Top 20 hits alongside her film and TV credits. She became a regular on “The Tonight Show” and made appearances with Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett and Mike Douglas. But it was her years hamming it up as a celebrity judge on the chaotic “The Gong Show” that cemented her fame.

Aug. 29 birthdays: Actor Elliott Gould is 88. Actor Deborah Van Valkenburgh is 74. Actor Rebecca DeMornay is 67. Musician Meshell Ndegeocello is 58. Actor Carla Gugino is 55. Guitarist Kyle Cook is 51. Actor John Hensley is 49. Actor Jennifer Landon is 43. Actor Lea Michele is 40. Actor Charlotte Ritchie is 37.

Neighbor's noisy children mar retiree's time in backyard oasis

R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: After working 50 years, I recently retired. At the same time, the house next door to us was sold to a family with six children, ranging in age from newborn to 10 years old.

We do not have large lots. What was once my backyard oasis (I garden, read and swim) is now a nightmare. Children literally screaming. I don't know what to do.

The father actually told me to enjoy my quiet summer because it's over. We have worked our entire lives for what we have accomplished, and I feel like it's been ruined in the blink of an eye.

Other than moving, what can we do? — Trouble in the Suburbs

Dear Suburbs: This is a tough pill to swallow because it's made up of one part acceptance and one part conversation. Most of the time, we don't have much control over who lives near us. This can turn out great, this can turn out badly — and everything in between.

But frustrating though it may be to have noise coming from next door, it may be helpful to acknowledge that an oasis was never really something that was fully within your power.

There was always going to be somebody next door, building toward their own paradise. While your ideal neighbor might have been someone who also enjoyed gardening and other quiet activities, that wasn't a guarantee.

Acceptance moves you out of frustration and into a place of proactivity. What can you do to bring more peace into the space you're in now? Fences, hedges, noise machines and relaxing music can all help.

Conversation will help, as well. Are the neighbors open to a schedule of some sort? If you like to swim and enjoy quiet in the morning, can they agree to a more peaceful backyard until a certain time?

Again, there's no guarantee that they'll be amenable to it, but it's worth asking because you do share a space, and they don't automatically get to dictate everything that happens there.

Dear Eric: I am 63, my husband is 65. We consider ourselves “young” for our ages.

The other day I took a quiz that was supposed to determine “biological age” versus chronological age. One question was, “Do you expect more good things to happen to you than bad?” I was surprised and disappointed when he said “No.” I asked him why and he said because he was worried about money.

I am self-employed and lost a big client a few months ago that made up over half of my income. I have always been able to find substitute work to replace lost income when necessary. This time it is admittedly taking me longer, I suspect ageism has something to do with it, but I haven't lost confidence in my ability to get it done, and it hurts me that he has.

I tried to tell him that this question wasn't just about money, it was about an outlook of optimism and a belief that good things will happen. He simply said he couldn't help it, he just felt like the hole was getting worse.

I don't want to invalidate his feelings or his worries. But the only other time in our relationship that I've felt we were viewing things differently was very early on when we had small children, and he felt trapped in a job he hated and honestly, his life. He saw his only way “out” as leaving us.

It took years for us to find our way back to each other and merge our past into the new people we became. It's worked wonderfully for the past 13 years, but this difference now in our outlook on life has me worried again.

Am I making too much of this? My worry is that it doesn't really address what I see as the problem, or does it?

— Always the Optimist

Dear Optimist: I think you're correct that the money question and the outlook question may be different.

Understandably, his comments are bringing up trauma for you. You want, and should get, reassurance. It may be helpful to say directly, “The way our conversation about money is hitting my ear has me feeling concern that echoes the time when you felt trapped. I don’t think it’s the same, but it would help me to hear you say that and to talk through ways we can stay connected even through stress.”

Separately, you can talk about your finances. You can't control his worries or his outlook. And some of the outlook may have less to do with the immediate issues and more about life stage.

But looking together at the numbers and making contingency plans that take into account many possible scenarios can help reduce anxiety and allow you both to have clearer conversations.

MUSIC REVIEW

Weezer strikes gold with album of energetic, fist-pumping power pop

By Ron Harris ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kings of nasal power pop, the members of Weezer have released their 20th studio album, also known as “Weezer (Gold Album),” continuing a tradition of self-titled, color-identified records.

And rest assured, it delivers the band's signature energy for the faithful.

That said, no boundaries are pushed here. But really, does Weezer need to push boundaries?

It should be acceptable by now — 30-plus years removed from the destroyed sweaters of 1994's “Blue Album” — that the talented foursome, with lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo at the helm, does what it does best: Clock in and jam.

Opener “Say Yes” is an easy earworm, where Cuomo questions his place and his worth. It’s a thinly veiled reflection that can’t help but be read in reference to the Weezer career journey: “Somebody here’s gonna slip me a happy pill / Make me feel dumb if I just can’t seem to feel the thrill.”

'WEEZER (GOLD ALBUM)' Weezer (Warner Records)

Cuomo and the boys have made it, and their “Gold Album” is good.

Sure, there are filler tracks like “C.E.O.” and “Nowhere,” which went exactly there — with its redundant hook and shallow premise.

But even those missteps are overpowered by stellar efforts, such as “We Might as Well Be Strangers” featuring the alt-country indie rock band Wednesday. Something has been lost, and Cuomo sings believably about it in the lament: “Happy birthday / Thanks for the Valium.”

There's a pattern to the Weezer song matrix. Something awkward is said, Cuomo sings his way toward the predicament, and the band breaks through it all with a furtive blast of memorable hooks and trusty chord progressions.

“We Might as Well Be Strangers,” is a solid song and a perfect example, with its examination of a relationship giving way to nicely soaring guitar work. It’s one of the top tracks.

Weezer members have always had one foot in the room of stardom and the other waiting outside, laughing about how they have been accepted. They have long taken wry shots at the fame machine (think 2014's "Eulogy for a Rock Band," or this album's "The LA Sound") while basking in the oddity that a band of their ilk was ever allowed in to begin with.

On the “Gold Album,” fans of Weezer will appreciate the band’s consistency and longevity.

That's because Weezer is in a retrospective mode now: Still joking. Still rocking. Still touring.

The band's self-described meta songs about aging will probably age just fine.

Led by a terrific Karen Black, who plays four different characters in a creepy trio of Richard Matheson story adaptations, the film has particularly remained a cult favorite thanks to its famous third tale, “Amelia,” which was adapted by Matheson himself from his short story “Prey.” Basically a one-woman show, “Amelia” finds Black giving a tour-de-force

Bautista steps into ‘God of War’ role

FROM NEWS SERVICES


Dave Bautista is replacing Ryan Hurst, who was injured, as Kratos in the series. DIMITRIOS KAMBOURIS/GETTY 2024

“God of War” has a new Kratos.

Dave Bautista will take over as the lead in the Prime Video live-action TV series based on the video game franchise of the same name.

“Sons of Anarchy” alum Ryan Hurst had initially landed the role of one of the most famous dads in video game history, but in June, he suffered an injury on set while performing a stunt.

Hurst was announced as Kratos in January, and in a social media post, he said that he used to play as Kratos. "Now I get to be him," he wrote. "Grateful to pick up the axe, and honored by the fans who made this story legendary."

Hurst needed surgery after severely tearing his bicep, and the recovery time would push production into 2027, which reportedly conflicted with filming schedules. Earlier this year, Hurst completed filming on four episodes of the first season of the highly anticipated show, but those will be scrapped and reshot with Bautista stepping in. Production is set to resume in the fall.

“God of War,” based on PlayStation’s ancient mythology-themed video game, follows Kratos — a Spartan by birth who later becomes the Greek god of war — and his son, Atreus, as they set off on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Along the way, Kratos tries to help mold his son into a better god, and Atreus teaches his dad how to be a better man.

Bautista, a WWE wrestling champion-turned-movie star of Greek and Filipino descent, will join a cast that includes Callum Vinson as Atreus, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Ed Skrein as Baldur, Max Parker as Heimdall, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor, Teresa Palmer as Sif, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, Jeff Gulka as Sindri, Danny

Woodburn as Brok, Sonya Walger as Freya, Island Austin as Thrud, Ben Chapple as Magni, Louis Cunningham as Modi, and Evelyn Miller as Gna.

Emmy-winning director Frederick E.O. Toye, known for “Shōgun,” “The Boys” and “Fallout,” is helming the first two episodes of the forthcoming series.

‘Pitt’ announces new cast: The HBO medical drama “The Pitt” will feature two new physicians and at least five new patients when the show returns for its third season.

Deadline reports the newcomers admitted to Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center will include Barry Clifton and Brent Saxton from Paramount's hit show "The Madison." Both actors will reportedly play emergency room patients.

They'll be joined by Hannah Ware from “The One,” Stephen Chang of “Bosch: Legacy” and Lawrence Kao from “Walker: Independence,” whose characters are also seeking medical assistance.

"The Sticky" star Chris Diamantopoulos and JB Tadena from "Kung Fu" will be among the doctors tending to their needs.

The show's star, Noah Wyle, who played head doctor Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch in "The Pitt's" first two seasons, told Deadline that Season 3 will focus on physicians healing themselves as much as their patients. That includes his stressed-out character, who's focusing on his own mental health.

“It’s fragile, and it’s not without risk and vulnerability, but it’s at least there’s forward progress,” Wyle said.

The new season details the hour-by-hour activity in a busy emergency room on Nov. 12. That's the day after Veterans Day and two weeks prior to Thanksgiving. HBO hasn't said exactly when Season 3 will begin streaming, though new episodes are expected to air in January as they did in the series' first two seasons.

"The Pitt" has been nominated for 38 Emmy Awards — 25 of which are for the ceremony taking place in Sept. 14. The show has won five, including Wyle's 2025 recognition for lead actor in a drama. He is also nominated for his work on the show's second season.

Horoscopes

If August 29 is your birthday: Communication could be highlighted for the last days of August and into September. Good news is that the remainder of 2026 should be easier to navigate than the year has been thus far, and some nice opportunities are lining up.

Aries (March 21-April 19): A preparatory stage could be left behind as you move more into the spotlight for a month or so. The more strongly you build it, the better it can endure future challenges — this goes for just about anything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Cleaning out closets can be literal or metaphorical — either effort clears old energy and sets the stage for the next level of growth and success.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): The more you release any habitual anxiety the clearer your perspective and the better life looks. A friend or friend group could be all over the place for the next month — expect the unexpected.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You could be totally sincere and still be doubted with the combo of jokers in your sectors of communication and todays' below-zero stars.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't finalize anything on days like today with an underwater day score. Negative stars at the outset or at culmination don't often support positive outcomes. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go with it if it flows but force nothing. Fast-moving cycles could help a bit then hinder mightily, plus the Universal Day Score is also not helpful.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow your unique path and you'll seldom get lost in the weeds. Your dreams could be building powerfully underground but remain hard to see for a few weeks. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Clutter doesn't support creation. If your muse isn't answering your texts, try cleaning out the studio, metaphorically speaking. Brainstorming with friends could serve up some interesting ideas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There could be a disconnect between your private, inner life and your public-facing persona. See if you can figure out a resolution that allows for a more authentic balance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do your best with communication today, Universal Stars are poor but your sectors of learning and communication, while mixed, offer some hope. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid money moves or any big purchases today. While tomorrow is a better day, anything begun even then still won't likely have much of a lifespan, plus emotions could drive decisions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The next few days could feel like a financial rollercoaster of hope and despair. Don't attach to any extremes, this is just a fast ride to nowhere.

Chagas had to assume that the heart finesse was working, quite likely from the bidding, but that was only 12 tricks. He needed to find a miracle in the cards to get a thirteenth

Chagas led the two of clubs and discarded the spade from dummy. East could not discard a diamond so he let go of a heart. Now the lead of the jack of hearts gave Chagas three heart tricks whether West covered or not. Great bidding pays off!

6 players fighting for spot on roster

Roster cuts loom with preseason finale next

By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans will conclude the NFL's preseason slate at 5 p.m. Saturday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.

The Bears will have exactly 24 hours from kickoff to make their final decisions on the 53-man roster. Teams must have their rosters trimmed from 90 players to 53 by 5 p.m. Sunday.

"It's the worst day in the National Football League," special teams coordinator Richard Hightower said this week. "I don't think anybody would shy away from that, and especially in an organization like ours where we truly care immensely about people. We get attached to these guys. At the end of the day, it's still a business."

Most teams have a pretty good idea by now of what their roster will look like. Even so, the final preseason game is a last chance to make an impression — and a good performance certainly can do that for players sitting on the edge of the roster.

"We've got 90 guys on the roster, a lot of which are fighting for their professional lives right now, and their stories are incredible," coach Ben Johnson said.

Here are a few of those stories. These six players could benefit from a good last impression Saturday against the Titans (5 p.m., Fox-32).

WRS KADEN DAVIS AND SCOTTY MILLER

Davis has been one of the best stories of training camp. He has played well in practice, and it translated to the preseason opener when he caught four passes for 88 yards from backup quarterback Tyson Bagent. Davis saw only one target in Week 2, but more telling was the fact he was on the field with Caleb Williams and the starters.

Cubs bullpen is hit hard in loss — and some key decisions loom for stretch run

By Andy Martinez FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Cubs roster will be under the microscope for the next few days — and it wasn't just the reappearance of utilityman Matt Shaw on Friday morning.

The bullpen will be followed closely in light of the potential returns of left-hander Hoby Milner and starter-turned-reliever Edward Cabrera. The Cubs will be able to add a pair of players, including one pitcher, when the calendar flips to September on Tuesday.

But Friday's 10-8, series-opening loss to the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field was a prime example of why the relief corps will be so vital over the final 27 games of the season. Manager Craig Counsell, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy and the rest of the Cubs brass will want to fine-tune the right mix of eight pitchers for October, and outings like Friday will be another data point for them to analyze when they assemble their group.

The Cubs bullpen surrendered eight runs — with all three relievers coughing up at least one and Trent Thornton's five-run sixth the difference in the loss. The right-hander hadn't allowed a run in August, had permitted just four since June 24 and had a 2.32 ERA entering Friday.

"He made some bad pitches and then they hit them," Counsell said after the loss. "Trent's been really, really good for a good stretch here, but he made some bad pitches today."

Thornton's success highlights the precarious position the Cubs are at with their bullpen. The eight-man group features just three pitchers with minor-league options — right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn, who was acquired at the trade deadline, left-hander Ryan Rolison and right-hander Daniel Palencia, both of whom are key leverage arms for Counsell.

That means the Cubs would have to part ways with one of the

Reds at Cubs 1:20 p.m., Saturday Marquee

other five members of their pen rotation — Thornton, closer Jacob Webb, left-hander Caleb Thielbar or long relievers Aaron Civale and Colin Rea — if they want to add Milner back into the fold.

Milner went on a minor-league rehab assignment July 29 after an appendectomy. A player can be on a rehab assignment for only 30 days, meaning the Cubs must decide before Saturday's game if they want to activate him from the IL or designate him for assignment. There was a report during the game that stated he had been DFA'd, but Counsell denied that.

“That’s not accurate,” he said after the game. “I can’t comment any more than that, but that’s not accurate.”

Regardless of Milner's status, the Cubs bullpen figures to have some churn over the last weeks of the season. Cabrera threw a live batting-practice session Friday at the team's complex in Arizona. If he recovers well, he could go on a rehab assignment after that before returning to the bullpen mix, as the Cubs hope using him in quicker bursts could allow him to avoid the blister issue that landed him on the IL for the second time this season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON PREVIEW

Big picture: Big Ten looks to remain on top

as next in line.

By Eric Olson

SEASON PREVIEW

ASSOCIATED PRESS

For all the angst over skyrocketing amounts of money paid to college athletes, courtroom battles over player eligibility and debate about the number of teams in the playoff, the biggest on-the-field storyline this football season is whether the Big Ten can win a fourth consecutive national championship for the first time in the poll era.

The Big Ten has, at a minimum, encroached on the Southeastern Conference's longtime claim of being the premier football league. The run started with Michigan's 2023 title, only the Big Ten's second

since the turn of the century, and continued with Ohio State's in 2024. Then Indiana in 2025 completed its magical ascent from leader in all-time losses to national champion.

Now Oregon, with star quarterback Dante Moore and an impressive list of returning starters and incoming transfers, is creating buzz

“Nobody’s going to have higher expectations for our team than us,” coach Dan Lanning said. “We’re the guys in the building doing the work every single day. Certainly really proud of the team and the work they’ve put in. We have high expectations. We’ve got a lot that we want to accomplish.

“Having players like that only helps you.”

A fourth straight Big Ten title would match the SEC's streak from 2019-22 but still trail the SEC's record of seven in a row from 2006-12.

HORSE RACING

40 years ago, Arlington Park took center stage

By Neil Milbert

FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Sumptious, a 35-to-1 shot, leads the way as the 13-day Festival of Racing begins at Arlington Park on Aug. 19, 1986. ED WAGNER JR./CHICAGO TRIBUNE FILE

Chicago-area horse racing died in July when Hawthorne Race Course shut down, and it's sadly ironic that its passing came 40 years after Arlington Park held the richest and most prestigious meeting in Illinois racing history.

Known as the International Festival of Racing, this 13-day extravaganza was held from Aug. 19-Sept. 1, 1986, in a country fair setting with tents and temporary bleachers.

Graded races – known in Europe as group races – are those at the highest level, and the Festival had 13 of them – six Grade I, four Grade II and three Grade III. There also were four major races restricted to Illinois-breds.

Total purses exceeded \$5 million for a daily average of approximately \$385,000, unprecedented in Illinois at the time and surpassed only once since then in 2002 when Arlington was the host track for the Breeders' Cup.

It was a meeting the likes of which had never been seen anywhere in the world.

“Except for the Breeders’ Cup (that was inaugurated in 1984 as a single-day event) there never has been a meeting like this,” said Nick Clark, president of the International Racing Bureau, an organization based in Newmarket, England, that worked for Arlington and other tracks throughout the world in luring foreign horses.

“Royal Ascot (in England) has a festival, but there is only one Group I race as opposed to six here. Melbourne and Tokyo also have festivals in conjunction with their major races in Australia and Japan, but their meetings don’t compare to this.”

Arlington's average daily attendance during the Festival was 17,819, and an average of \$2,383,052 was bet each day on track and at the simulcast locations in the metropolitan area: Sportsman's Park, Maywood Park and Balmoral Park. At the time there were no simulcasts to or from out-of-state tracks.

The International Festival of Racing was inspired by “the Miracle Million” of the previous August that was held in a similar setting 26 days after one of the biggest fires in Cook County history completely destroyed the clubhouse and grandstand.

Inspired by the success of “the Miracle Million,” Arlington’s majority owner, the late Dick Duchossois, decided he wanted a pocketful of miracles in 1986, holding a minimeeting modeled after the short festivals in England and France, to keep his track in the international limelight.

“It is essential to have a world-class track in the Midwest,” said

Duchossois, who bought out his partners, Ralph Ross, Joe Joyce and Sheldon Robbins, in February 1986. "European racing is conducted on the grass, and Arlington has one of the best grass courses in North America.

“We are here to showcase why thoroughbred racing is the second-largest spectator sport in the world. It’s a tremendous responsibility and a tremendous challenge. We welcome that responsibility and that challenge.”

In addition to racing on the grass course and the main track, there were diverse concession stands, giving fans a miniature Taste of Chicago.

The main event was the Arlington Million, which was the world's first million-dollar race when it was inaugurated in 1981 by Joyce when he was running the track for Madison Square Garden.

Fittingly, the 1986 event proved to be a milestone Million. The 6-year-old mare Estrapade — owned by Allen Paulston, trained by Charlie Whittingham and ridden by Fernando Toro — is the only female winner in the history of the race that was later also contested at Woodbine in Toronto in 1988, Churchill Downs in 2022 and since then at the Churchill Downs, Inc., satellite Colonial Downs in Virginia.

And Estrapade's 5-length margin of victory in the $1 \frac{1}{4}$ -mile race in which she outran 13 opponents still stands as the record winning margin. ("Miracle Million" winner

Teleprompter, of England, finished seventh.)

“She has struck the greatest blow for women’s lib in the world,” jested Whittingham, her California-based Hall of Fame trainer.

The Tribune's Million Day coverage was comparable to that which the Bears currently receive on game day—there were two writers, two columnists and a photographer at Arlington.

"It was my first full year on the beat," said retired Tribune reporter/handicapper Dave Surico. "For a person who was still relatively new to racing, I think I comprehended that the quality of racing combined with the atmosphere made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

The Festival attracted top trainers and jockeys from both coasts and Canada and some noteworthy Europeans.

Another member of the filly and mare division in the limelight was Top Corsage. Canada's Sandy Hawley was in the saddle when the 3-year-old filly won the Grade III Pucker Up Stakes at $1 \frac{1}{16}$ miles on the grass Aug. 20, and California-based Gary Stevens rode her Aug. 28 when she won the $1 \frac{1}{8}$ -mile Arlington Oaks on the dirt.

The biggest upset of the Festival came on opening day in the Grade I Arlington Classic when 35-1 long shot Sumptuous paid \$73.20 to win bettors in the crowd of 14,104.

Duchossois had added reason to celebrate the success of his Festival when Explosive Darling, an

Illinois-bred he owned and bred at his Hill 'N Dale Farm in Barrington Hills, won the Grade II Stars and Stripes Handicap, a tradition-rich race on the turf course. Explosive Darlington was trained by local fixture Lou Goldfine and ridden by longtime Arlington-based jockey Earlie Fires, who went on to be inducted into the horse racing Hall of Fame.

Arlington regular Pat Day, with 23 winners in 82 races, and Hawley, with 23 in 79, tied for the jockey championship, while Carl Nafzger was the leading trainer, with six winners in 18 attempts. All three went on to become members of the Hall of Fame.

Day was voted the outstanding jockey in North America in 1986; Estrapade was selected the year's champion female grass horse; and Smile, winner of the Grade III Equipoise Mile at the Festival, was chosen as the top sprinter.

The 13-day Festival was so successful that it prompted Duchossois to apply for a conventional 91-day meeting with the temporary bleachers and tents in 1987, and the Illinois Racing Board granted his request.

After announcing plans to rebuild the track as part of an equestrian complex in the Lake County village of Old Mill Creek near the Wisconsin border and transform Arlington's 325 acres into a business, cultural, recreational and residential complex, Duchossois changed his mind.

He didn't apply for any dates in 1988 and moved the Million to Woodbine while the track was being rebuilt at its location in Arlington Heights.

When the lavish new tradition-rich track was reopened on June 28, 1989, it was hailed as a masterpiece work. Architectural Digest called it “the world’s most beautiful racetrack.”

Duchossois closed Arlington in 1998 and 1989 to pressure the legislature for tax breaks. He reopened in 2000 and shortly thereafter merged with Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI), becoming the parent company's biggest shareholder.

At first it looked like a good move — as attested by CDI being instrumental in getting Arlington the 2002 Breeders' Cup — but as the years progressed Duchossois began reducing his holdings for estate-planning purposes and playing a much reduced role in running his beloved track.

In 2019, CDI acquired a controlling interest in the nearby Rivers Casino in Des Plaines and decided to sell Arlington to wipe out gambling competition. The property was sold to the Bears with the stipulation that there be no casino gambling, horse racing or sports wagering at the site, and the NFL team has torn down the palatial track to reduce its taxes on the property on which it is considering building a stadium.

Arlington's final meeting was held in 2021, and CDI announced it was “honoring” Duchossois by renaming the Million the Mr. D. Stakes.

Actually, it was an insult rather than an honor. The purse was reduced to \$600,000, producing the weakest field in the history of what was the world's richest race when it debuted in 1981.

Meanwhile, many events have been inaugurated overseas with purses that make the Million's purse look like chump change. The Everest in Sydney is the world's richest grass race with a \$20 million purse, and the Saudi Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, offers the same amount, making it the world's richest dirt race. In the U.S. the Breeders' Cup is a now a two-day event and last year lured 49 internationals from 12 countries.

But according to Bob Kieckhofer, a correspondent for The Blood-Horse, who has traveled to multiple countries to cover international races, Duchossois' legacy should not be forgotten.

"Certainly, Dick was a pioneer in international racing," he said. "Just looking at the list of races at the 1986 Festival is a sad reminder of how far we fell in Illinois."

BEARS

from Page C1

The Bears likely have five locks to make the roster at wide receiver: Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Kalif Raymond, Jahdae Walker and Zavion Thomas.

For Davis and Miller, this could come down to math. Will the Bears keep five or six receivers on the initial roster? Last year, which could be a good indicator, they kept six.

Miller has more experience than Davis but hasn't made a huge impact in the preseason games (five catches for 55 yards) and didn't play any snaps with the starting offense in Cincinnati.

"One thing I can bring is speed and versatility and the ability to play a multitude of positions, inside and outside," Miller said.

Maurice Alexander — perhaps a third contender who is probably more of a long shot — has racked up big numbers in the games with the second and third teams (eight catches for 102 yards and one touchdown) but hasn't seen as much work with the starters.

Davis, fresh out of the United Football League, would be quite a story if he were to make the team. He has been cut either during training camp or at the 53-man roster deadline in four consecutive years by four franchises.

"A great acquisition that the front office made," Hightower said of Davis. "He works his tail off, really a joy to be around. He's like a sponge, you know? There's a kid that's fought on multiple (teams), obviously released or cut from multiple teams, but has fought time in and time out. I've got ultimate respect for Kaden Davis."

OTS KIRAN AMEGADJIE AND JEDRICK WILLS JR.

Both Amegadjie and Wills might be trending in the wrong direction in the left tackle battle. With Braxton Jones returning from a minor knee injury, he's looking like the Week 1 starter. In last week's preseason game against the Bengals, the Bears elected to give second-team left tackle reps to Theo Benedet rather than Amegadjie or Wills.

That makes it seem as if Benedet is poised for the swing tackle role as the first off the bench who is capable of playing either side. NFL teams typically keep nine or 10 offensive linemen on the 53-man roster. Last year the Bears kept 10.

Behind Jones, Benedet and right tackle Darnell Wright, the team might keep only one more tackle. If the Bears place Ozzy Trapilo on injured reserve — teams can place two players on IR with a designation to return, essentially giving them two extra spots — that could leave the door open for Amegadjie or Wills to make the initial roster. Trapilo, while back at practice, has yet to play any team reps.

"I don't know that we are $100\%$ sold on who that (starter) is going to be for Carolina yet (in Week 1)," Johnson said of his left tackle spot. "We're going to still work through it."

Wills looks to be the third option at left tackle, while Ameg-adjie played right tackle against the Bengals before moving to the left side after Jones, Benedet and Wills all had their turns.

Wills exited Thursday's joint practice with the trainers, which also could throw a wrench into the equation.

SAFETY SKYLER THOMAS

The Bears activated veteran safety and special teams contributor Elijah Hicks off the physically unable to perform list this week.

Hicks missed nearly a month of camp with a shin injury.

His activation is good news for the Bears' depth at safety and adds a name to watch in the position battle for Coby Bryant's starting spot. But it's bad news for players further down the depth chart, notably undrafted rookie Skyler Thomas out of Oregon State.

Thomas has played consistently with the twos during training camp and occasionally with the ones here and there as injuries have necessitated. Last week, he had a diving interception of Bengals quarterback Sean Clifford.

A year ago, the Bears kept four safeties on the initial 53-man roster. They could be looking at Dillon Thieneman, Cam Lewis, Xavier Woods and Hicks, assuming Bryant goes on IR. Lewis and Woods shared first-team reps with Thieneman during Thursday's joint practice, and Lewis had one of the few highlights for the secondary with an interception of Cam Ward.

If Hicks is close to healthy and ready for the active roster — all indications are he's trending that way — it could spell trouble for Thomas. The preseason finale is a big game for Thomas, who is fighting for a roster spot but also looks like a candidate for one of 16 practice squad spots.

RB SALVON AHMED

If the Bears keep four running backs, Ahmed could be poised to make the roster. Last year they kept only three.

As it stands, D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson appear locked in as the top three. Johnson's special teams experience likely outweighs that of the other backs on the roster. But if there are concerns about Monangai's knee injury lingering into the season, the Bears could keep a fourth.

Ahmed has had a good camp with the second-team offense and has totaled 122 yards from scrimmage with one touchdown over two preseason games.

He doesn't have a ton of regular-season special teams experience, which is often a requirement for running backs further down the depth chart. Ahmed played 20 special teams snaps over the first two preseason games.

"He's been on a lot of (special teams) stuff," Hightower said. "And he's made some headway there and he's done a good job improving. We take a lot of pride in helping guys that haven't done it."

Head-to-heads will shape AL Central race

‘They are going to decide it all’

By LaMond Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

MINNEAPOLIS — Head-to-head division matchups in the upcoming weeks will go a long way in determining which team comes out on top in the American League Central.

“They’re very important, they’re going to decide it all,” Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable said Friday afternoon. “Obviously it’s what it’s all about, being able to take care of your own division.”

The first-place Sox began a three-game series Friday against the third-place Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The Sox entered the day leading the division by 2½ games over the second-place Cleveland Guardians. The Twins were 6½ games back.

Starter Davis Martin said the veterans who have been in past playoff pushes have been helpful.

“They understand the importance of just taking care of your day-to-day, look up and you’ll be exactly where you want to be,” Martin said Friday. “So, that’s been just a hyperfixation for us. Just have fun, continue to be us. You see us play every night, we’re having fun, we’re enjoying each other, just trying to win a game at a time.”

Here's a closer look at the remaining meetings between the contenders.

WHITE SOX (70-63 ENTERING FRIDAY)

The Sox came into Friday with a 4-3 edge over the Twins in the season series, outscoring Minnesota 45-25.

The Sox won three of four against the Twins from May 25-28 at Rate Field, with the only loss coming in extra innings — 5-3 on May 26. The Sox rebounded the next day with a 15-2 victory that featured a Chase Meidroth grand slam.

Sox at Twins 1:10 p.m., Sat. CHSN

Meidroth has performed very well in his first seven games this season against the Twins, going 10-for-29 (.345) with two doubles, one home run and seven RBIs.

The Sox dropped two of three against the Twins at Target Field on June 1-3, winning the finale 8-0 with starter Erick Fedde allowing two hits in five scoreless innings. He is Saturday's scheduled starter.

The Sox and Twins meet five more times after Friday, with two this weekend and then a three-game series Sept. 4-6 at Rate Field.

The Sox have just three games remaining with the Guardians, Sept. 14-16 at Progressive Field. The Sox hold a 6-4 series edge, with eight of the games being decided by one or two runs.

The series against the Guardians begins a stretch of 10 straight against division opponents. The Sox go home for a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers (Sept. 17-20) and then travel to Kansas City, Mo. (Sept. 22-24).

The Sox are 6-3 against the Tigers, who entered Friday in fourth place, eight games back. They created some distance between the teams with a three-game sweep Aug. 14-16 at Comerica Park.

The Royals are in last place in the AL Central but have won 10 of their last 11 games. The Sox are 7-3 against the Royals.

Overall, the Sox are 23-13 against the AL Central. That's a big reason for the team's turnaround after going 18-34 in division games last season. Including Friday, 16 of the remaining 29 games on the schedule are against AL Central teams.

"Every one of these clubs in our division are really good," Venable said. "Even the Royals, who maybe their record overall isn't reflecting it. They're playing really, really good baseball. So really, every team in our division is a tough customer right now.

“We know that to get there at the end, you’re going to have to handle business. Our players understand that, too, without making any one game or any one series just overshadowing the next. They understand the importance of each one of these games. And really, division or not, all these counts.”

GUARDIANS (68-66)

The Guardians came into Friday with a seven-game winning streak, matching their season high.

They jumped back into division play this weekend with three games against the Royals. The Guardians are 19-17 against opposing AL Central teams, including 4-3 against the Royals. The teams also wrap up the regular season Sept. 25-27 at Kauffman Stadium.

The Guardians have four games remaining against the Tigers (Sept. 4-6 at Progressive Field). That series begins with a split doubleheader. The Guardians have won seven of nine in the season series but did drop two of three in the most recent meeting Aug. 11-13 at Comerica Park.

The Guardians travel to Minnesota (Sept. 11-13) before the big three-game series against the Sox at Progressive Field.

TWINS (64-70)

The Twins will see plenty of the AL Central over the next couple of weeks.

After playing the Sox, the Twins host the Tigers (Aug. 31-Sept. 2), then travel to the Sox and Detroit (Sept. 7-9). They have their final division games of the season Sept. 11-13 against the Guardians at Target Field.

Despite being outscored 47-41, the Twins are 6-4 against the Guardians. It's similar against the Tigers. The Twins have been outscored 37-32 but lead the season series 5-2.

The Twins are 19-18

against the AL Central.

If the Tigers (62-71) are going to get back in the race, they need to do much better than what they have to date against the AL Central (13-25). They have 14 division games remaining, all against the Twins (six), Guardians (four) and Sox (four).

ROSTER MOVES

Before Friday's series opener against the Twins, the Sox reinstated designated hitter/outfielder Andrew Benintendi from the bereavement/family medical emergency list, placed pitcher Tyler Schweitzer on the paternity leave list and recalled pitcher Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte.

CUBS from Page C1

“We’re going to do some shorter stints with him, yes,” Counsell said before the game.

But even without including Cabrera in the immediate mix, the Cubs are operating with two long relievers: Civale, who allowed a pair of unearned runs in 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ innings Friday, and Rea, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 21 and has thrown just three innings since Aug. 9.

"He's healthy, (it's just been) game situation," Counsell said of Rea.

The Cubs offense did receive a boost when Shaw was activated from the IL, with outfielder Kevin Alcántara optioned to make room for the utilityman. Shaw originally landed on the IL on June 29 with a sprained left hand and had setbacks that delayed his return until Friday.

"It was one of those things where I assumed it was going to be quicker. It ended up taking a really long time," Shaw said before the game. "So it tested my patience, for sure. I'm glad to be back."

Shaw gives Counsell another option off the bench, able to deploy him across the infield or in the outfield and play matchups late in games.

"We haven't run into a ton of situations where we need it," Counsell said before the game. "You don't know which game you're going to run into that situation — frankly, most games you don't for our roster

—but there's going to be some days where we do run into it, and he's valuable when he's on the bench."

Shaw pinch hit in the Cubs' four-run eighth inning that nearly completed an improbable rally. He doubled after Pedro Ramírez's three-run home run made it a 9-7 deficit. Shaw scored three batters later on Seiya Suzuki's double, but the Cubs right fielder was stranded on second as the tying run to end the frame.

“You score eight runs and I think you’re pleased,” Counsell said. “We did a good job. We created some opportunities.

"We gave up 10 today. That's going to be tough winning games giving up 10."

1921: The Chicago Cubs, behind the pitching of Lefty Tyler, clinched the National League pennant with a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

1971: Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves knocked in his 100th run of the season, giving him the National League record of 11 seasons with 100 or more RBIs. 1977: Lou Brock of St. Louis stole base No. 893, breaking Ty Cobb's modern record for career stolen bases. The Cardinals lost to the San Diego Padres 4-3.

League pennant with a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
1934: The Philadelphia A's ended Schoolboy Rowe's 16-game winning streak with a 13-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

1948: Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers hit for the cycle in a 12-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Robinson drove in two runs, scored three runs and stole a base. 1965: San Francisco's Willie Mays broke Ralph Kiner's National League record with his 17th home run of the month in an 8-3 triumph over the New York Mets. Kiner had 16 homers in September of 1949. Mays hit a tape measure shot off Jack Fisher. 1967: Bert Campaneris of the Kansas City A's hit three triples in a 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians. Campaneris was the first to have three triples in a game since Ben Chapman in 1939.

1977: Cleveland's Duane Kuiper hit a one-out solo home run in the first inning off Chicago's Steve Stone at Municipal Stadium. It was Kuiper's only homer in 3,379 career at-bats – the fewest homers in most at-bats for any player in MLB history. 1985: Don Baylor of the New York Yankees set an American League record when he was hit by a pitch for the 190th time in his career. Baylor was struck by California Angels pitcher Kirk McCaskill in the first inning, breaking the old mark of 189 set by Minnie Minoso. 1991: Carlton Eisk of the Chicago White Sox hit two homers to become the oldest

1991: Carlton Fisk of the Chicago White Sox hit two homers to become the oldest player in the 20th century to accomplish the mark. He'll top this by hitting two homers on October 3. Jack McDowell went the distance to beat Cleveland 7-2. 1993: George Brett recorded his 200th stolen base in Kansas City's 5-4, 12-inning victory over Boston to join Willie Mays and Hank Aaron as the only players with 3,000 hits, 300 homers and 200 steals.

2000: Anaheim's Darin Erstad went 3-for-5 to reach 200 hits faster than any player in 65 years as the Angels defeated Toronto 9-4. Ducky Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals did it in 131 games in 1935.

INTERLEAGUE

2002: Mark Bellhorn became the first player in NL history to hit a home run in the same inning from both sides of the plate, in the fourth of the Chicago Cubs' 13-10 win over Milwaukee.

■ Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani threw a short bullpen session on Friday as the Dodgers two-way star moves closer to a return to the mound. "I think it was like 20 pitches," manager Dave Roberts said before the Dodgers started a series against the Tigers. "I really don't know what to make of it. I didn't put eyes on it. "Obviously, I've got to talk to Shohei, talk to (pitching coach) Mark (Prior), and then we'll make a decision for Sunday." Ohtani has not pitched since July 3 because of a left knee injury. The right-hander is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA and 95 strikeouts in $85 \frac{1}{3}$ innings this season. He has continued to start at designated hitter and is batting .285 with 30 homers and 80 RBIs.

2004: Albert Pujols hit his 40th home run and reached 100 RBIs for the fourth straight season to help St. Louis beat Pittsburgh 4-0. He's the fourth player to start his major league career with four straight seasons with at least 100 RBIs, joining Hall of Famers Al Simmons, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams.

2010: Brian McCann hit a game-winning homer with help from video replay, giving the Atlanta Braves a stunning 7-6 victory over the Florida Marlins. It was the first time a game ended using a video review.

2018: Milwaukee's Christian Yelich went 6 for 6 and hit for the cycle and Jesus Aguilar homered in the 10th inning, powering the Brewers to a 13-12 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers had a season-high 22 hits and rallied to take the lead four different times, and Jesus Aguilar hit the go-ahead homer in the 10th inning. 2021: Taylor, Michigan wins the Little League World Series with a win over Hamilton, Ohio. 2022: Aaron Judge of the Yankees hit home run #50 of the season, to stay just ahead of the pace set by Roger Maris when he hit 61 homers to set the team and American League record in 1961.

■ Yankees: Max Fried will come off the injured list to pitch for the Yankees in Saturday's day-night doubleheader against the Red Sox. The team hadn't yet decided which game Fried will start, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday afternoon. Fellow left-hander Carlos Rodón is scheduled to get the ball in the other game.

AROUND THE HORN

■ Tigers: Tarik Skubal was welcomed with cheers and a smattering of boos in his return to Detroit, where he pitched for the Dodgers against his former team for the first time since the middling franchise traded him to the two-time defending World Series champions. When the visitors' lineup and Skubal were shown on the videoboard and his name was announced before the first pitch, most of the crowd at Comerica Park clapped for the two-time Cy Young Award winner while some jeered him. The Tigers showed a video montage from his seven-season career with the team and posted a message at the end: Thank you, Tarik. Skubal did not appear to react to the tribute or the crowd, which included many fans standing as he walked from the bullpen beyond the left-field wall to the Dodgers' dugout with a white towel draped around his neck.

■ Braves: Right-handers Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep will have season-ending surgeries following setbacks in their rehabilitations from right elbow procedures before the season. The Braves on Friday announced Waldrep will require Tommy John surgery, which could sideline him for the 2027 season. Schwellenbach had surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow in February and his season-ending procedure will address more bone

■ Twins: Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and the 21-year-old outfielder was in the Twins' lineup against the White Sox, batting ninth and playing center field. The Twins drafted Jenkins fifth overall in the 2023 amateur draft as a high schooler from North Carolina. He was promoted to Triple-A late in the 2025 season and had spent all of 2026 with St. Paul.

GOLF TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Gerard, Hovland share the top spot

By Doug Ferguson ASSOCIATED PRESS

of the week."

ATLANTA – Ryan Gerard hit it well enough for five relatively easy birdies Friday and dropped a surprise from just inside 80 feet for another, giving him a 5-under 65 and a share of the 36-hole lead with Viktor Hovland at the season-ending Tour Championship.

Hovland had one of five birdies on the peninsula-green 15th hole, a par 3 at only 155 yards but tucked to the left near a sharp slope that feeds off the putting surface. He had a 66 to join Gerard at 10-under 130 going into the weekend.

Right behind? Just about everybody.

That includes Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 player who had a 67 and was two back. And it included Cameron Young, in last place after the first round and atop the leaderboard for much of the day after a 62. He also wound up two behind.

Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup each shot 67 and were one behind at 9-under 131.

Gerard has more on his mind than the \$10 million prize and the five-year exemption on the PGA Tour. The captain's picks for the Presidents Cup will be announced after the Tour Championship, and it's on the mind of the 27-year-old from North Carolina.

“It’s hard not to think about it a little bit,” Gerard said. “I’m very aware that a good week this week goes a long way to help my chances. I’m playing this week for myself and to try and put up some good scores and hopefully win a trophy at the end

The trophies — one for the Tour Championship and one for the FedEx Cup — are up for grabs at the halfway point. One third of the field is separated by three shots on a course that has relatively soft with either rain Thursday or overcast Friday, even with a little wind late in the day.

No one took advantage quite like Young, who remains in the picture for PGA Tour player of the year with his signature win at The Players Championship and a big win at a signature event at Doral.

He opened with two early bogeys in the opening round when everyone was going low and jokingly said it made him wonder about his career choice. He shot 70 that left him tied for last place and going off as a single Friday in the 29-man field (J.J. Spaun has withdrawn).

He made the turn in 30, and then poured in two more birdies to reach 7 under through 11 holes. Young cooled slightly with a bogey from the bunker at the 12th and missed opportunities the rest of the way until a 40-foot eagle putt slammed into the back of the cup on the par-5 18th for a 62.

The put him in a tie for the lead as the final group was starting, and Young would have been a little surprised to be within two shots by the end of the round. Low scores were there, and he had reason to believe someone would motor well past him.

"I was in last place about three-and-half hours ago," Young said. "There's not much wind today, and the field seems to be playing pretty well for even par being last place after yesterday."

Avs' Makar inks richest deal in league history

NEWS SERVICES

Cale Makar and the Avalanche agreed to a \$163.2 million, eight-year extension on Friday that will make him the highest paid player in league history.

The terms of the deal were confirmed by his agency, Bartlett Hockey.

Makar's extension is set to be the the richest in NHL history, surpassing the eight-year, \$136 million extension signed by Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov last September. Makar's deal runs through the 2034-35 season.

With an annual average value (AAV) of \$20.4 million that begins in 2027-28, Makar's deal eclipses that of Sharks superstar Macklin Celebrini, who signed a five-year, \$94 million extension in late July that has an \$18.8 million AAV.

"I couldn't be more excited to continue my journey here with the Avalanche in this amazing city of Denver," Makar said in a video posted on social media by the team, calling it a historic day. "Here's to another hopefully amazing nine years."

The 27-year-old Makar is coming off a season in which he had 20 goals and 59 assists. He finished second to Zach Werenski of Columbus in the Norris Trophy voting, an award that goes to the league's top defenseman. Makar has won the award twice over his career.

College basketball: Todd Golden's third raise in as many years will make him the second-highest paid basketball coach in the South-eastern Conference. The 40-year-old Florida coach signed a one-year extension earlier this month that increased the total value of his deal to \$49.5 million. It averages \$8.25 million annually and keeps him under contract through the 2031-32 season.

College football: A judge has granted a hearing to explore claims that a man wants to recant allegations of sexual abuse years ago by Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky, 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence since he was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse in 2012. Eight young men testified about what happened to them as boys. He has repeatedly lost efforts to get a new trial. A man identified in court documents as R.R. said he was coached extensively by authorities.

MLB: The Rays got county approval Friday on a financing plan that will allow them to build a new stadium, a day after city officials approved their part for the \$2.3 billion ballpark project that will replace the domed Tropicana Field.

Soccer: Rayan Cherki scored two goals in five minutes and Erling Haaland also got a brace as Manchester City won at Crystal Palace 4-1 to maintain its perfect start to the Premier League on Friday.

FEDERER HEADS TO THE TENNIS HALL OF FAME

Roger Federer loved to win, of course, and at the peak of his career almost always did. All those victories and trophies he piled up alone would have made Federer remembered forever in tennis, but they were only part of the reason he enjoyed playing. He liked traveling to tournaments, meeting people and making new friends, whether they were on the other side of the net or sitting in the stands. Only after he finished competing did Federer realize how much that impacted his legacy in the sport. "I think when you retire, I think I said it before, that there was a lot of talk also about maybe my personality and what I brought to the game overall when I wasn't on court, which I was a little surprised," Federer said. "I thought it was about, in the moment, forehands and backhands and saving break points and victories and all that stuff. "But actually it becomes a little bit, not irrelevant eventually, but it's about what were you remembered for, how did you behave in the locker rooms or in the corridors or maybe with the media, or with the tournament directors, the ball kids." Federer can reflect back on it all Saturday when he is enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.

ROMO FACING THREE MORE CITATIONS

Tony Romo is facing three more citations in connection with his arrest last month that got him placed on leave from his role as CBS' lead analyst on NFL games. Romo was arrested July 23 in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence. The case against the former Cowboys quarterback was amended

Thursday to add citations for possessing open intoxicants in a motor vehicle, unsafe passing on the right and first-offense operating while intoxicated. He already had received a citation for refusal to take a test for intoxication after arrest. CBS Sports president David Berson said earlier this month that he does not have a timeline for a decision about Romo's future with the network. Romo, 46, has been the lead game analyst for CBS' NFL coverage since 2017 after making four Pro Bowl appearances during a playing career that ran from 2004-16 and was spent entirely with Dallas. Analyst JJ Watt will join play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports' lead NFL team during Romo's absence. Romo's arrest followed a traffic stop as he was driving south on Interstate 43.

SALE DEMANDS BALL IN 9TH TO CAP SHUTOUT

Chris Sale already had thrown 97 pitches through eight innings, a full game for most pitchers in most games. Braves manager Walt Weiss had relievers ready in the bullpen for the ninth. Even so, both knew Sale was not coming out Thursday night against the Dodgers. After learning before the game about the death of a friend, Sale had

extra motivation to finish the shutout in the Braves' 1-0 win for a series sweep. "He was on a mission," Weiss said. "You could see it. He was attacking from the first pitch." That different look meant Weiss already was planning to have Sale return to the mound for the ninth. Then, he said, Sale walked into the dugout after the eighth and announced, 'This is mine.'" Weiss wasn't about to argue. Sale said he received a text message before the game saying his friend, Ashley Foss, a financial advisor who worked with Sale's agent, B.B. Abbott, had died. Sale provided no details. "If you ever needed more incentive, that's all you're going to need right there," Sale said. The 37-year-old lefty was dominant in throwing only 60 pitches through five innings and 81 through seven. He allowed just five hits with no walks, throwing 80 of his 109 pitches for strikes. — Associated Press

Circling the drain

Keselowski in need of ‘a miracle’ in NASCAR’s regular-season finale at Daytona

By Mark Long

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Brad Keselowski needs “a miracle” at Daytona International Speedway to make the Cup Series playoffs.

A more likely scenario: his teammate at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, Ryan Preece, eking into the postseason with a strong showing at NASCAR's home track Saturday night.

"My car needs like a miracle," said Keselowski, the 2012 series champion.

Added Preece: “I just think about trying to win stages and win the race. ... There’s a lot of unknowns right now and trying to be as prepared as possible.”

Keselowski and Preece are among five drivers vying for the final three spots in the 10-race Chase for the championship in the summer race at Daytona. Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric and Shane van Gisbergen also are looking to lock down postseason berths in the 400-mile race.

Those five will share the spotlight under the lights at the high-banked track. It's the result of NASCAR changing its playoff format, which no longer guarantees a postseason berth to drivers who win a race during the regular season.

Keselowski is approaching the regular-season finale at Daytona more as a mindful team owner than a desperate participant. Fellow RFK driver Chris Buescher is already locked into the playoffs, and getting Preece in there would help the team's financial bottom line.

“We’re paying a lot of attention to that,” Keselowski said.

Wallace and Cindric are close to being locks to make the 10-driver Chase for the championship, essentially leaving van Gisbergen and Preece to battle for the 16th and final spot in the playoff field. Van Gisbergen leads Preece by 31 points — a relatively small cushion that could be quickly trimmed in the opening stages.

“A lot going on. Not really sure how it’s going to play out,” van Gisbergen said. “I think 30 points is a lot — until it’s not, until he has two good stages and then we’re under a lot of pressure. … I think we plan to be pretty conservative and see how his race is going and react to that.”

All the drivers will need to react to horsepower and aerodynamic changes that NASCAR made in hopes of improving racing at the superspeedway.

The sanctioning body mandated engine changes that will reduce horsepower from 510 to 465. It also shaved 3 inches off rear spoilers, providing less downforce and assumedly less handling.

"The pack will have a vibe to it that will play off how comfortable everyone feels in the car around other cars," points leader Denny Hamlin said. "The intensity of the actual race is going to be dependent of that comfort level."

Hamlin said earlier in the week it could lead to “absolute chaos,” partly because drivers weren’t allowed any track time to test the new setup.

"It would have been nice," driver Daniel Suárez said. "Sometimes a little bit is better than nothing. There's going to be a lot of people making adjustments in stage one."

And all eyes will be on van Gisbergen and Preece.

"It's a pretty cool feeling to have the pressure on us," van Gisbergen said.

SUÁREZ ON BABY WATCH

AT DAYTONA

Suárez, who is already locked into the playoffs with Spire Motorsports, is ready to leave Daytona on a moment's notice. Suárez's wife, Julia, is 38 weeks pregnant and could give birth before, during or right after the race.

Suárez recently completed a hospital tour so he knows where to go and what to do if he needs to fly home in a hurry.

“Hopefully it’s a Monday to Friday baby,” he said, adding that the team has yet to pick a standby driver.

“We’re looking for someone,” he said. “He has to speak Spanish, though.”

WHO IS THE BETTING FAVORITE?

William Byron and Ryan Blaney are the co-favorites at plus-850. Joey Logano (plus-1100) is the third choice, followed by Tyler Reddick, Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott at plus-1200. Blaney won last year's race, and Reddick won the Daytona 500 in February.

Alcaraz expects to be himself at the US Open

By Stephen Whyno | ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — After sitting out more than four months nursing an injured right wrist that caused him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon, Carlos Alcaraz didn't decide to return for the U.S. Open to be anything less than his Grand Slam-winning self.

“You’re going to see Carlitos playing the way he always has,” Alcaraz said.

The 23-year-old from Spain is set to play his first competitive singles match Monday since getting sidelined by the wrist injury in mid-April.

He insists he has not changed anything about his mechanics and expressed confidence about physically feeling great.

"I need competition," Alcaraz said Friday. "We, my team and me, believe that I'm ready. It wasn't an easy decision. I just did whatever it took to be ready."

Alcaraz is the defending champion and favored to go back-to-back, a year after beating Jannik Sinner and overtaking him for the No. 1 ranking. The field this time does not include Sinner, who withdrew because of a right knee injury.

"We are not going see each other for, like, six months now, seven months," Alcaraz said. "It's kind of a weird situation, to be honest."

Alexander Zverev is the top seed in Sinner's absence. But all eyes are on Alcaraz, who earlier this year won his seventh Grand Slam title by defeating Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final.

"Everyone is going to be pretty tapped in to see his first match," 11th-seeded American Francis Tiafoe said. "If he comes back anywhere near his level, it's tough. Regardless, even if he's not at his tip-top (shape), you've still got to beat him in five (sets)."

Alcaraz opens against Roman Safiullin as he dives right back into best-of-five-set tennis in his return.

He did get a chance to shake some rust off by playing a couple of mixed doubles matches with Serena Williams this week, but he knows not getting a full ramp up to the U.S. Open adds another layer of difficulty.

“It’s really challenging,” Alcaraz said. “Probably in terms of preparation and everything, (it) is not the best time.”

But the energy of playing in New York was enough of a draw that he said, "There is no better tournament than the U.S. Open to be back."

Can he win it off such a long layoff? He knows Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have done it but does not want to set any expectations.

"I'm not going to set a limit for myself," Alcaraz said in Spanish. "I don't want to focus on a specific result. I want to focus on the process we've gone through. Just go out there, enjoy it and feel good."

PREVIEW

from Page C1

Ohio State brings back Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin at quarterback and generational talent Jeremiah Smith at wide receiver and will enter the season No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 ahead of No. 2 Oregon. The defending champion Hoosiers start at No. 6 after losing Heisman-winning quarterback and top NFL draft pick Fernando Mendoza.

The SEC, which hasn't put a team in the national championship game since 2022 when Georgia won the second of two straight titles, holds down five of the top 10 spots in the preseason poll.

The third-ranked Bulldogs return quarterback Gunner Stockton and will go for their fourth SEC title in five years. No. 5 Texas is well positioned to make a run with Arch Manning, who will throw to a preseason AP All-American in Auburn transfer Cam Coleman.

No. 4 Notre Dame hasn't won a national title since 1988 but played in the championship game two years ago. The Fighting Irish are a contender again after being left out of the College Football Playoff following a season-ending 10-game win streak.

No. 7 Miami is the standard bearer for the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Hurricanes, who lost to Indiana in the national championship game, are coming off back-to-back 10-win seasons and have one of the sport's best all-around players in Malachi Toney.

HEISMAN HYPE

Notre Dame's CJ Carr and Texas' Manning are the co-favorites to win the Heisman Trophy, according to sportsbooks.

Carr's 24 touchdown passes tied for most by a Notre Dame quarterback through 12 career starts since

1966, and he has a chance to put up big numbers against a schedule that includes only four opponents that had winning records last season.

Manning was the betting favorite entering 2025 as well. That was until he struggled in a season-opening loss to Ohio State and fell out of contention altogether after a brutal loss to Florida. The Longhorns have helped Manning by bringing in Coleman and upgrading their running backs.

Mississippi's Trinidad Chambliss is back after winning another year of eligibility through litigation. Oregon's Moore is surrounded by talent, and Duke transfer Darian Mensah is an upgrade at quarterback for Miami.

Ohio State's Sayin, the most accurate passer in the country, can be a finalist again, or winner, if he keeps the Buckeyes on the rails. His teammate, Smith, is the only non-quarterback in the top tier of candidates.

WELCOME BACK PAC-12

This isn't your father's Pac-12 or, for that matter, even yours.

The conference has gone through a rebirth two years after realignment left only Oregon State and Washington State. Commissioner Teresa Gould did some poaching of her own to get the Pac-12 to the eight football teams required for Group of Six, and play-off-eligible, status.

Oregon State and Washington State are joined by former Mountain West members Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State along with former Sun Belt Conference member Texas State.

NEW COACHES

There were 34 FBS coaching changes, and none will be more closely watched than Lane Kiffin's move from Mississippi to LSU.

Time is not on Kiffin's side, not with a player payroll reportedly exceeding \$40 million and a rabid fan base frustrated by two underachieving seasons. Arizona State transfer QB Sam Leavitt is surrounded by talent, but the 11th-ranked Tigers' schedule is extremely demanding.

In the Big Ten, Kyle Whittingham takes over at No. 16 Michigan and Matt Campbell at No. 18 Penn State. The 66-year-old Whittingham's surprise move came after 23 seasons at Utah and his charge, along with winning, is to polish the program's tarnished image. The question for Campbell is whether a team built around many of his Big 12-seasoned players from Iowa State can hold their own against the heavies of the Big Ten.

Among coaches who moved into power conference jobs are Jon Sumrall (Tulane to Florida), Bob Chesney (James Madison to UCLA) and Alex Golesh (South Florida to Auburn).

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2026

A new season brings changes

CFP tweaks, new rules and jersey patches are among notable updates

By Maura Carey ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new college football season brings plenty of hopes, discussion and changes. Here are the most notable offseason developments to know about before the games begin:

TWEAKS TO THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

This happened in the dead of winter so in case you missed it: The CFP reiterated that automatic bids will go to the champions of the Power Four conferences — the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12.

The CFP's highest-ranked team in the Group of Six will also get a spot, whether it's a conference champion or not. Group of Six, you say? Yes! The Group of Five is now a plus one with the relaunched Pac-12 joining the American, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West and Sun Belt.

From there, the next seven-highest ranked teams, regardless of conference, will fill out the rest of the 12-team bracket.

BUT NOTRE DAME!

Another tweak to the 12-team CFP bracket: If Notre Dame finishes the season ranked in the top 12 by the CFP it will automatically secure a playoff berth.

It's a more straightforward approach than last year, when Notre Dame fell short of the playoff despite being ranked No. 11 by the committee. Instead, Tulane and James Madison earned the final two spots as two of the five highest-ranked conference champions.

One last thing about the CFP: Discussions continue over whether to expand to 16 or even 24 teams.

A LIGHTER CONSEQUENCE FOR TARGETING

Rule changes are to be expected in any offseason, and this year targeting was the headliner.

In 2026, a player's first targeting offense will no longer impact their availability for the next game. If a player is disqualified for targeting a second time during the season, they will be held out for the first half of the following game. A third offense calls for a next-game suspension.

Conferences can initiate an appeals process after a player's second offense, which would call for a video review facilitated by the NCAA national coordinator of football officials. If the appeal is successful, the player will be able to play the full game.

One of the more notable targeting penalties last season was on Miami DB Xavier Lucas in the fourth quarter of the Fiesta Bowl, causing Lucas to sit out for the first half of the national championship game loss to Indiana.

Another rule change fans will notice: Offensive pass interference is now a 10-yard penalty instead of 15.

A NEW SCORING OPPORTUNITY

Another rule change this offseason will allow teams to attempt a field goal after a fair catch. The kicker can choose to drop kick from where the returner caught the ball, or they can use a holder with no tee. Some fans may recall a recent NFL version, when Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker hit a 57-yarder before halftime against Denver in December 2024.

PLENTY OF NEW COACHES

Of the 138 FBS teams, 34 have new coaches.

The SEC led the way with six new coaches, and the American has five. The Big 12 and Big Ten each added four coaches. Three new coaches were added to the MAC, the ACC, the Sun Belt and the reconstructed Pac-12. The Mountain West, Conference USA and FBS independent UConn each hired a new coach.

Some major hires include former Penn State coach James Franklin, who was picked up by Virginia Tech after being fired midseason. Penn State hired Iowa State's Matt Campbell as Franklin's successor. Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU before the Rebels' playoff run, and Ole Miss promoted Pete Golding from within. Oregon's defensive and offensive coordinators left the Ducks (Tosh Lupoi headed to Cal and Will Stein to Kentucky).

TWO NEWCOMERS

Sacramento State and North Dakota State are the latest additions to the Bowl Subdivision, bumping its membership to 138 teams. The moves became official on July 1, with Sacramento State being the newest MAC member, and North Dakota State's juggernaut FCS program joining the Mountain West.

Both teams will be eligible for bowl games immediately if they finish with at least six wins and can help fill one of their conference's bowl slots.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SETS

The NCAA cleared the way for schools to land new revenue by placing sponsored jersey patches on uniforms as of Aug. 1 and, boy, there are going to be a lot of those.

Ohio State and Notre Dame alone reportedly have patch deals worth a combined \$30 million, but there are so many others — Tyson Foods (Arkansas), Axle Logistics (Tennessee), SRM Concrete (Vanderbilt), Ripple XRP cryptocurrency (Kansas), even the Palmetto State Armory (The Citadel).

And while the NCAA approved on-field commercial logos for the 2024 season, the volume is picking up. Progressive insurance recently struck a deal to have its logo on the playing field of 13 different schools, including Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Georgia, USC and Colorado.

Expansion talks, eligibility changes and other tweaks among key storylines

By Eric Olson

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Let the games begin.

A summer packed with legal battles over Brendan Sorsby's ban for gambling and the implementation of the NCAA's new eligibility rules is about to give way to the annual rite of autumn: packed football stadiums on Saturday afternoons, grill smoke rising from pregame tailgate parties and the chase for playoff spots and the national championship. Here's a primer for fans:

WHEN DO THE GAMES BEGIN?

There are 17 games matching Football Championship Subdivision teams on Aug. 27-28, and there are eight in the Bowl Subdivision on Aug. 29.

The big Week Zero matchup pits beleaguered Bill Belichick and his North Carolina Tar Heels against TCU in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland.

The season begins in earnest on Labor Day weekend with a handful of Top 25 games: Lane Kiffin makes his LSU coaching debut against Clemson at home that Saturday night, Wisconsin plays Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sunday night and SMU visits Florida State on Monday night.

The best early season game is Ohio State at Texas on Sept. 12.

INDIANA IS THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPION

Those six words, said in that order, are something no one would have imagined a couple years ago when the Hoosiers led college football in all-time losses.

Enter Curt Cignetti, the late-blooming coach who has won 27 of 29 games since taking over and last season led the Hoosiers to the first 16-0 campaign in the modern era of the sport.

Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 NFL draft pick Fernando Mendoza was the central figure in the championship run, and the Hoosiers scored at least 50 points in seven games.

TCU transfer Josh Hoover succeeds Mendoza at quarterback, and with Ohio State and Oregon loaded with talented returning players and transfers, the Hoosiers aren't even the favorite to win the Big Ten, let alone another national title.

IS PLAYOFF EXPANSION COMING?

This is the third, and possibly final, year of the 12-team playoff. Expansion could come as soon as the 2027 season depending on whether the Big Ten and South-eastern Conference can agree on how many teams would be in the field.

The Big Ten, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12 and Notre Dame, want a 24-team playoff. The SEC is holding out for 16.

A 24-team playoff would require conferences to discontinue their championship games, and that's a sticking point for SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.

Expansion talks are expected to continue in September, and a final decision would in theory have to be made by December. Athletic directors have said a deeper financial analysis is required to see if the revenue generated by an expanded playoff would offset the money conferences make from their championship games.

CFP SCHEDULE

First-round games will be played at the stadium of the higher-seeded team on Dec. 18-19. Quarterfinals are Dec. 30 at the Fiesta Bowl and Jan. 1 at the Cotton, Rose and Peach bowls. Semifinals are Jan. 14 at the Orange Bowl and Jan. 15 at the Sugar Bowl.

The championship game is Jan. 25 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It will be the latest end date for a college football season.

The five best conference champions will earn automatic bids. This will be the second year there are no guaranteed first-round byes for conference champions. The selection committee will seed all teams according to where they sit in the final CFP rankings, which will be announced Dec. 6.

HOW TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO'S GOOD AND NOT GOOD

After Labor Day, the AP releases its weekly Top 25 poll every Sunday. The CFP selection committee starts releasing its weekly rankings the first week of November.

POWER FOUR FAVORITES

ACC: No. 7 Miami is the overwhelming choice after it reached the national championship game and then upgraded at quarterback with the addition of QB Darian Mensah from Duke.

Big Ten: No. 1 Ohio State, led by returning QB Julian Sayin and WR Jeremiah Smith, is the pick in what could be a closely contested race to the conference championship game. No. 2 Oregon is right there with the Buckeyes, and everyone knows not to sleep on No. 6 Indiana.

Big 12: No. 12 Texas Tech is the favorite even though it will have to go with Will Hammond, coming off an ACL tear, rather than Sorsby at quarterback. Tech vs. No. 14 BYU in a second straight Big 12 title game is very possible.

SEC: Kirby Smart and his No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs are well-positioned

to make a run at a third straight conference championship and fourth in five years. They wouldn't play Texas, their biggest threat, until the SEC title game but both schools face daunting schedules all season.

GROUP OF SIX FAVORITES

American: Navy, at 21-5, has its best two-year record in program history and can capitalize on coaching changes at schools at or near the top of the conference standings.

EU Conference USA: Liberty is expected to bounce back from an injury-plagued season in which it posted a losing record for the first time since it elevated to the FBS in 2018.

Mid-American: Western Michigan brings back almost all the key players from team that went 10-4 and won MAC title.

Mountain West: UNLV, with Auburn transfer Jackson Arnold at QB, assumes the favorite's role with the departure of Boise State for the Pac-12.

Pac-12: Boise State gets the nod because of the return of Maddux Madsen, who threw for 2,334 and 18 touchdowns, and 1,100-yard rusher Dylan Riley.

the East with 60 newcomers and Billy Napier back in the league as first-year coach. Troy is favored in the West.

AP's list of top freshmen to watch includes quarterbacks at Vanderbilt and Tennessee

By Steve Megargee ASSOCIATED PRESS

There's a realistic possibility that each of the Southeastern Conference programs in the state of Tennessee could open the season with a freshman starting quarterback.

Freshman Faizon Brandon beat out sophomore George MacIntyre at No. 20 Tennessee in a decision announced Monday. At Vanderbilt, Jared Curtis is competing with senior Blaze Berlowitz for the right to replace 2025 Heisman Trophy runner-up Diego Pavia.

“You look at the total volume of work and he’s earned the right to start,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said of Brandon.

Tennessee's quarterback competition had opened up when Joey Aguilar, who threw for 3,565 yards last year, was unable to get an injunction that would have granted him one more season of eligibility.

"I was planning on coming here and working hard regardless, but after I saw that he didn't get his extra year, I would say it made me want to work even harder, knowing there was a quarterback battle now," Brandon told reporters at the start of preseason camp.

Brandon threw for 6,374 yards and 79 touchdowns and rushed for 1,261 yards and 21 more scores while helping Grimsley High School of Greensboro, North Carolina, win back-to-back state titles. Brandon, who is 6-foot-4, was rated as the nation's No. 3 quarterback and No. 10 overall prospect according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports.

"We named him the starter because we believe in the work that he has put in and how he's continued to grow and play throughout training camp and the second week through the second scrimmage," Heupel said. "He's earned that right."

Curtis is trying to gain that responsibility at Vanderbilt.

The 6-3 freshman garnered plenty of attention after withdrawing his verbal commitment to Georgia and choosing to play for his hometown school, becoming the highest-ranked recruit ever to sign with Vanderbilt. Curtis was the nation's No. 4 overall recruit in his class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Curtis threw for more than 9,500 career yards and rushed for more than 2,100 yards at Nashville Christian Academy, where he won a state title and was named Tennessee's Gatorade player of the year.

"The raw ability and skill, I think it's clear to everyone, from an arm strength standpoint, from a play creation standpoint," Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea told reporters after an Aug. 16 scrimmage. "And yet this is baptism by fire. You're in an SEC training camp again getting multiple looks, you've got the full playbook that you're working through and all the checks in your hip pocket. That can slow a player like that down. He's been a little inconsistent at times, but he's also been really explosive at times, too."

Curtis is competing with Berlowitz, who started out at New Mexico State and has attempted 36 career passes.

Here's a look at some other true freshmen across the nation who could make an immediate impact.

TEXAS WR JERMAINE BISHOP JR.

Bishop made enough of an impression during a scrimmage Saturday that Texas coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters afterward that “it wouldn’t surprise me at all in a couple of weeks if he has a significant role offensively for us.” The 6-foot wideout from Willis, Texas, was the nation’s No. 58 overall prospect in his class according to the 247Sports Composite.

ALABAMA RBS TRAE'SHON BROWN AND EJ CROWELL

Alabama ranked 125th among Bowl Subdivision teams in yards per game (104.13) and 126th in yards per carry (3.35) last season. That should create some opportunity for its freshman running backs. Crowell has the best recruiting profile as a former five-star prospect ranked 15th in the 247Sports Composite, but he's been limited by an ankle injury. Brown, a three-star recruit, has performed well enough in preseason camp to suggest he will outperform that ranking.

MIAMI OL JACKSON CANTWELL

The Hurricanes must replace four starters from the offensive line that helped them reach the College Football Playoff championship game last season. Cantwell should step right in to help. He arrives from Nixa (Mo.) High as the first offensive lineman ever to be named the Gatorade national player of the year. The 247Sports Composite ranked him as the No. 2 overall prospect in his class. Cantwell, a two-time state champion in the shot put, is a natural tackle who could end up starting his college career at guard.

WASHINGTON OT KODI GREENE

Greene already is being penciled in as Washington's likely starting left tackle for the beginning of the season. Although Greene is from Renton, Washington, he played the last two years at Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California. The 247Sports Composite ranked Greene third among offensive tackles and 26th overall in his class.

OHIO ST. WR CHRIS HENRY JR.

Nobody's producing as many future NFL receivers as Ohio State these days. Henry figures to be the Buckeyes' next star wideout. Henry, who is 6-5, caught four passes for 96 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's spring game. The 247Sports Composite ranked him 14th overall and second among receivers. He should step right into a featured role while playing alongside All-America receiver and Heisman Trophy contender Jeremiah Smith. Henry is the son of former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry, who died in 2009.

MICHIGAN RB SAVION HITER

Hiter was rated as the nation's No.1 running back and No.12 overall prospect in his class according to the 247Sports Composite. He rushed for 1,455 yards and 25 touchdowns his senior year in high school after running for 1,698 yards as a junior and 1,187 yards as a sophomore. He has made enough of an impression in preseason camp to merit a featured role working alongside new teammate Jordan Marshall, who rushed for 932 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

CRASHING THE PARTY

The Group of Five is now the Group of Six. Here are its likely top CFP contenders

By Steve Megargee ASSOCIATED PRESS

After posting double-digit wins each of the last two seasons, Navy wants to take the next step.

That would mean playing meaningful games even after its Dec. 12 showdown with Army.

“We’re not interested in maintaining or sustaining the success we’ve had,” Navy coach Brian Newberry told reporters this summer. “I think we’re in a unique position in the world of college football right now to take Navy football into an area that we’ve never had.”

Navy enters this season as a contender to earn the College Football Playoff bid that goes to a team from outside the major conferences.

Two non-Power Four programs earned spots in the 12-team playoff last year with Tulane and James Madison cracking the field. Tulane made it as the highest-ranked Group of Five team in the CFP standings, and James Madison also got in because it made the CFP rankings while Atlantic Coast Conference champion Duke was unranked.

A repeat of that scenario is unlikely, but a Group of Six program is assured of getting at least one spot in the 12-team bracket. It's now called the Group of Six rather than the Group of Five after the Pac-12 recreated itself as a non-Power Four conference.

Although Navy must replace quarterback Blake Horvath after he rushed for at least 1,200 yards over the last two seasons, Braxton Woodson is a capable replacement who already has three career starts. The defense returns its to three starters from last year in MarcAnthony Parker, Giuseppe Sessi and Coleman Cauley.

Navy has swept Army and Air Force to win the Commander In Chief's Trophy each of the last two years. Navy is coming off a 2025 season in which it went 11-2 earned a No. 23 ranking in the final Associated Press poll.

"Our goals every year – it's been the same goals since I've been here is win the CIC No.1, win the conference and play in the College Football Playoff," guard Hoke Smith II said. "Those are our goals. Those are the goals we put forth. That's what we want to do this year."

Here's a look at some other Group of Six schools that could challenge for a playoff berth.

BOISE STATE

BOUS STATE After Heisman Trophy runner-up and first-round draft pick Ashton Jeanty led Boise State to a 2024 playoff bid, the Broncos slipped to a 9-5 finish but still won the Mountain West Conference last season. Now they're part of the Pac-12. There's plenty of experience in the offensive backfield with quarterback Maddux Madsen and running backs Dylan Riley (1,125 yards rushing last year) and Sire Gaines (811) all returning. Jayden Virgin-Morgan has compiled 16 sacks over the last two seasons. Boise State got the most votes of any Group of Six team in the preseason AP Top 25, though the Broncos didn't make the poll.

JAMES MADISON

This program won with Curt Cignetti and continued to win with Bob Chesney. Now that Chesney has left for UCLA, the Dukes will try to keep it going with new coach Billy Napier. Although Napier was fired at Florida with a 22-23 record midway through last season, he led Louisiana-Lafayette to three straight seasons with double-digit wins from 2019-21. James Madison has only five returning starters, but it's not unusual for Group of Six programs to lose top players to Power Four programs in the portal era. One key returner is Zach Greenberg, a second-team all-Sun Belt center last season. James Madison added 39 transfers.

MEMPHIS

Memphis lost coach Ryan Silverfield to Arkansas but found a proven replacement in Charles Huff. He went 32-20 at Marshall from 2021-24 and posted a 7-5 record his lone season at Southern Mississippi, which went 1-11 the year before his arrival. He takes over a Memphis program that went a combined 29-10 over the last three seasons. Huff added well over 50 transfers to Memphis' roster. J'Mond Tapp followed Huff to Memphis after collecting $7 \frac{1}{2}$ sacks for Southern Miss last year. Another Southern Miss transfer is Ian Foster, who scored two touchdowns on interception returns a year ago.

NEW MEXICO

New Mexico has plenty of momentum after going 9-4 in coach Jason Eck's debut year to snap a string of eight straight losing seasons. Eck's son, Jaxton Eck, had 129 tackles last season and was named the Mountain West Conference's co-defensive player of the year. Quarterback Jack Layne returns after throwing for 2,486 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season. Layne has a new target in Troy Omeire, who had 31 catches for 514 yards and five touchdowns at UNLV last season after previously playing for Texas and Arizona State.

SAN DIEGO STATE

Lucky Sutton is back after rushing for 1,297 yards and 10 touchdowns for a San Diego State team that finished 9-4 last season. Quarterback Jayden Denegal, a former Michigan reserve, passed for 1,807 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions for the Aztecs a year ago. San Diego State's chances of contending for a Pac-12 title depend on how well it retools a defense that returns only two starters after recording three shutouts last season.

UNLV

After posting nine straight losing seasons from 2014-22, UNLV has gone a combined 30-12 over the last three seasons. The Rebels have reason to believe they can take the next step this year in coach Dan Mullen's second season. Jai'Den "Jet" Thomas has rushed for 2,457 yards and 31 touchdowns over the last three seasons. Thomas is one of five preseason all-Mountain West selections along with offensive lineman Austin Boyd, receiver Taeshaun Lyons, defensive lineman Lucas Conti and safety Jake Pope. UNLV lost Mountain West offensive player of the year-winning quarterback Anthony Colandrea to Nebraska but has Alex Orji and Auburn transfer Jackson Arnold vying to replace him. Orji started his career at Michigan.

Who's in? Who wins?

The AP's way too early prediction for the College Football Playoff

By Eddie Pells

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The playoff that everyone wanted — make that, demanded — is now a fixture in college football.

The latest set of tweaks were made to favor Notre Dame and maybe some mid-level champion of a big-name conference (think, Duke and the ACC last year), while the losers in that calculation are the little guys who see their chances of cracking into the bracket, let alone winning a game or two, grow that much slimmer.

Even with the adjustments, as the College Football Playoff heads toward its third season of the 12-team playoff, one thing feels the same: Among all the major sports in America (and maybe the world), it still has the market cornered on the most opaque, least consensus-building way of determining who gets to play for the title.

It is still a system in which one team's 10-2 record means something completely different than another team's 10-2 record (see 2025 versions of Oklahoma and Vanderbilt); in which one team's loss to another can have a drastically different meaning at the time it happens vs. four months later (see the Miami-No-tre Dame fiasco from last year); and in which a weekly rankings show purports to shine a light on where things might fall, but in the end can sow more confusion (see every show last season airing the CFP rankings).

All that said, 12 teams will make it into the playoff field, which kicks off with four campus games starting Dec. 18. Two will get to Las Vegas to play for the title next Jan. 25. And one will win it all and join Indiana and Ohio State as the third champion of the 12-team-playoff era.

Here's a best guess on how things shake out (numbers indicate predicted seed):


The Fighting Irish, runners-up in 2024, bring back most of the team that got left on the bubble and out of the tournament last year despite being ranked 11th. The CFP executives fixed that — if Notre Dame is in the top 12, it must get a playoff spot. But with shutdown CB Leonard Moore and QB C.J. Carr returning, no need to worry about squeaking in.


Yes, the Buckeyes lost 11 players to the NFL, though that should serve as a reminder of the kind of talent this program brings in. If the season goes perfectly, QB Julian Sayin and WR Jeremiah Smith could both be in New York in December as finalists for the Heisman Trophy.


Last year's runner-up has the schedule and the players to dampen the impact from a potential Nov. 7 loss to Notre Dame. Darian Mensah threw for almost 4,000 yards at Duke last year, then left the ACC champs (with five losses) for greener pastures and presumably more bucks.


It feels like the last bye week available in the CFP for a top four seed will come down to an SEC title game between the Longhorns and Georgia, two teams that haven't quite lived up to the hype the last few years. All the buzz at Texas, of course, revolves around Arch Manning, who got lots of help this year to try to make up for last year when the 'Horns missed the playoff.

5-8: OREGON, INDIANA, TEXASTECH, GEORGIA

■ The Ducks, with Dante Moore, start at No. 2 in the preseason AP poll this year and could stay there heading into the Nov. 7 game at Ohio State.

■ Hard to bet against Curt Cignetti at Indiana, even without Fernando Mendoza.

■ Is Will Hammond ready? He better be after the Brandon Sorsby gambling debacle that could undermine an otherwise solid Texas Tech roster.

Georgia is Georgia. It's what people used to say about Alabama, Florida and every great program in the SEC, which is on a three-year natinoal championship drought.

9-12: LSU, OKLAHOMA, VIRGINIA, SOUTH FLORIDA ■ LSU's Lane Kiffin is a lot of things. Good coach is near the top of that list

■ Defense travels and QB John Mateer is a stud who can run. OU's schedule (at Michigan, at Georgia, vs. Texas) is tough, though that can set you up for success if you win one or two.

■ Reprising the Virginia pick from last year because this is, essentially, the same experienced team that almost won the ACC last year with a similarly weak schedule.

■ ESPN said of the 76 all-conference players on last year's Group of Five rosters (now G6, with the Pac-12) who had eligibility left, only 23 returned to their school. The American might be a feeder league, but USF might be best in class.

SNUBS AND TEARS

After South Florida leapfrogs five or six teams to make the field of 12, bubble teams such as Alabama, Ole Miss, BYU and maybe USC cry foul, ask for reforms and maybe even threaten a lawsuit. ... After more snubs and Georgia's fall out of a first-round bye position after losing the conference title game, the SEC might finally go along with a CFP expansion to 24.

EARLY UPSETS IN THE CFP?

How about this prediction: Oklahoma goes on the road to knock out Texas Tech AND Ohio State. ... South Florida can't contend vs. Georgia, furthering the call to push the G6 completely out unless they earn a CFP berth via ranking.

... Notre Dame falls to Texas in the semifinals at the Sugar Bowl and Oregon earns its spot in the final with a road win over the 'Canes in the other semifinal at the Orange Bowl.

AND THE WINNER IS ...

Oregon beats Texas 24-20 in Vegas to make it four straight for the Big Ten and land the Ducks that elusive championship. QB Dante Moore gets the national title trophy after barely losing a different one — the Heisman — to Manning.

Inside Tennessee's NIL ‘carwash’ day, a multimedia smorgasbord

By Teresa M. Walker ASSOCIATED PRESS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The cost of getting a spot on a Vol Network radio broadcast back in 2000 was pretty simple for a business: Tee up two 30-second commercials, pay for an ad in the souvenir program and a set of season tickets was yours.

"Our world does not resemble that at all," said Brandon Parks, the Learfield rep at the University of Tennessee who helped arrange some of those deals after graduating from the school.

Five years into the name, image and likeness era, the business of college athletics indeed looks nothing like that. Athletes now can be paid like almost any other celebrity, from modest deals with a local burger joint to multimillion-dollar contracts for star quarterbacks, and many of those agreements are now aided, if not actively brokered, by people on campus.

Learfield, a multimedia and sponsorships giant that works with hundreds of schools, offered

The Associated Press a behind-the-scenes look at a NIL media “carwash” day designed to make producing commercials and ads easier for both companies and athletes.

The first of many this fall at Tennessee in late July featured 29 different brands and some 50 football players.

CAMERAS, MICROPHONES AND SCRIPTS EVERYWHERE

Think of the event as something like back to school night, with visits to different rooms to meet different people, many of them with some kind of multimedia role.

Players in their official uniforms roamed from photo shoots on the indoor practice field — with props like a bag of potato chips set to the side for quick access — to curtained pop-up rooms to record content that will be used on game days.

Upstairs, someone from the Vol Network was interviewing players, stocking up for football broadcasts, and across the hall in the Peyton Manning room players took turns recording promotions for the likes of Uber Eats, Pilot, Food City grocery store, a bank and roofing company.

Props here included chicken tenders and, naturally, an orange.

Over in the Virtual Reality Lab, a green curtain hung in the room with a tele-prompter, lights and a camera. Players took turns reading a series of ads for companies. One thing was clear: It is easier than it's ever been for athletes in official uniforms to do commercials and ads with their school's blessing.

All of this is the result of months of planning between Tennessee and Learfield, which has employees embedded with universities around the country. Parks said Learfield had an 11-person team working those two July days at Tennessee.

"It's quite a production," Parks said. "They are very organized. They've got radio scripts, TV scripts, photo sessions that we're going to do with props from our partners. They've been very thoughtful about that, and I can't wait to see it all come to life."

Fans start seeing the results of these media days quickly. The turnaround for the content produced at Tennessee starts showing up in August.

FIVE YEARS IN AND NIL 'CARWASH' DAYS ARE GROWING

This is what business looks like for college athletes everywhere when it comes to NIL: School, practice, knocking out required NIL assignments, building a brand.

“We actually do a lot of appearances,” said Louisville quarterback Lincoln Kienholz, who reportedly has a six-figure deal with adidas. “I have to go to a construction company and do a little video. The week before the Fourth of July, I did one at the Louisville Thoroughbred Society. ... Card signing next week as well.”

Tennessee offensive lineman Shamurad Umarov talks with Jessica Leifheit, a Learfield senior manager for partnership service, while recording ad reads as part of his NIL deal with Nik Bell and Spencer Rudder, both Learfield coordinators of partnership solutions.

Opendorse, a NIL monetization platform for athletes that also works with many schools, predicts that NIL spending in 2026-27 will reach \$4.5 billion. By far the most popular deals are “media creation” arrangements — think of an athlete video talking about a product — on season-long contracts.

The July event at Tennessee was the first of 58 such NIL media days planned this fall for Learfield partner schools involving approximately 1,500 athletes. Over the academic year and all other sports, Learfield anticipates up to 200 of these brand-athlete meet-up days.

Grant Jones, director of content at Learfield, said the company did its first media day two years ago at Ohio State. The company works with smaller leagues like the Big Sky Conference and sees even smaller schools leaning into these one-stop setups to produce NIL content.

"I think we're going to see in the next two to three years, this is going to be something that's done upwards of 300, in aggregate, 300, 400 days a year," Jones said.

Jones used to work at the NFL Players Association, which held its own media days with players. He said players get really good with the repetition of signing gear and being

on camera.

"We wanted to do what frankly a lot of professional leagues have been doing for years and professionalize it with the NIL and everything that was happening on campus," Jones said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2026

When salaries start looking like pro money

A college left tackle can get \$4M in endorsement deals, but not in the NFL


Titans sixth-year left tackle Dan Moore Jr. on how he sees NIL money reshaping the college game: "Another five years, and we could see college football becoming semi-pro." GEORGE WALKER IV/AP

BY Eddie Pells ASSOCIATED PRESS

Left tackle Dan Moore of the Tennessee Titans can list all the sponsorship deals he has done as a pro on one hand: A few meet and greet opportunities when he was with the Steelers, a grill company that gave him some barbecue tools in exchange for his endorsement.

Million-dollar deals? No such thing, especially for someone playing his position. If he were in college — a talented offensive lineman with a chance to make his team a national contender — that might be different.

“It’s only been five years since NIL started,” said Moore, who heads into his sixth year in the NFL this season. “Another five years, and we could see college football becoming semi-pro.”

And that, in short, is the not-so-hidden secret driving a new era in college sports. It is a business rebuilt to allow players to cash in on their name, image and likeness fame, one that pays exorbitant prices to athletes under the guise that the money isn't a salary, but rather a payment for services the athletes provide through sponsorship deals.

That's the way many of the headline-grabbing six- and seven-figure payments that go to college players for so-called "third party NIL" can truly comport with the NCAA rulebook. And that rulebook — for all its rapid changes in recent years — refuses to do away with the fading notion that college athletes aren't pros who can be paid merely to show up and play.

One of these things is not like the other ... or is it?

Mike McGlinchey, a ninth-year NFL right tackle with the Denver Broncos, has a contract worth \$52 million in guaranteed money but he doesn't have a sponsorship deal. That puts him in the majority of NFL offensive linemen, who either don't need to work extra for more income or aren't well-known enough to grab much more than a local deal or two.

Of the 20 biggest NFL endorsement deals listed by Sportico – a list that starts with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at \$32 million – not a single one belongs to a lineman.

But in college, there's Jordan Seaton, the five-star left tackle who was one of Deion Sanders' biggest signings at Colorado, then left the Buffs to play at LSU. There, in the heart of SEC country, Seaton reportedly makes \$4 million for pitching a national chain pharmacy, a fast-food restaurant, a personal finance firm

and others.

It's a far cry from what McGlinchey envisioned when NIL arrived five years ago; he graduated from Notre Dame long before the era of paying college players began.

“What I thought NIL was supposed to mean was a local Ford dealership in South Bend puts the offensive line on a billboard and gives us a truck to drive around for six months,” he said. “Now, NIL means, ‘We have collectives of money and the one with the biggest checkbook is going to win.’ They’ve used name-image-likeness to open the floodgates to say. ‘We’re going to pay the most to get this kid.’”

Among the 20 highest-paid NFL endorsers are quarterbacks Geno Smith (\$1.5 million), Sam Darnold (\$1 million) and Deshaun Watson (\$750,000).

All of those amounts are less than what the top 10 college players make in sponsorships, according to On3, which tracks college NIL deals, none of which are disclosed by schools. It's a list that includes Seaton but does not include college football's most widely recognizable name: Arch Manning, who reportedly took a pay cut this year to \$2.5 million to help Texas beef up its roster.

Niklas Myhr, an associate professor at Chapman University and an expert in digital marketing, acknowledges the nod-nod, wink-wink element to all these NIL deals, but also thinks some of the numbers are the product of what he calls an “immature market.”

“Basically, there is no mature market for 20-year-old amateur athletes the way there is for sneakers,” he said. “So it’s basically reverse engineering a market.”

College Sports Commission tries to rein in the ‘wild wild West’

There is an agency in charge of enforcing the rules with the objective of putting guardrails around a spending spree exacerbated by a transfer portal that encourages players to seek better offers from different schools.

Among the 14-month-old College Sports Commission's top missions is making sure companies partnered with schools – “associated entities” – are paying players an amount within a “fair range of compensation” compared to what others might receive for the same services. The CSC also verifies that those companies are using the athlete's NIL for a “valid business purpose”

— i.e., to promote goods and services provided to the general public for profit, as opposed to hanging onto, or “warehousing,” the NIL rights for future use or having the player simply show up to an event to shake hands.

"The valid business purpose, proper range of compensation evaluation is a key part of answering that question," said Greg Sankey, the commissioner of the SEC, when asked if players were really being paid for anything beyond just showing up and playing. "And, in fact, it's those who are signing those deals who need to answer those questions."

Million-dollar deals for selling chicken, watches

Deals cut with non-associated entities — the definition of which has been disputed — aren't subject to the same scrutiny. In theory, those deals, if truly between an athlete and a business with no connection to the school, are only limited by what the market will bear.

"I believe they're arguing that coming to this high-profile college as a star player will warrant their NIL to become valuable just by brute force," Myhr said, when asked how a brand justifies spending so much on a relatively unknown pitchman. "They believe they can predict the future value of this athlete is worth \$1 million, or \$4 million. That's a stretch when it comes to transferring that (NIL) into captivating storytelling."

While a good chunk of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' \$30 million in endorsements comes from his hard-to-miss State Farm TV commercials, it would be harder to spot most of college's best-paid pitchmen.

Quarterback Darian Mensah's featured NIL deal with Miami – his third school in three years – is with a luxury watch company. Mensah's NIL is believed worth \$6.5 million, which is more than what all but nine current NFL players earn in endorsements, according to Sportico.

Among Seaton's handful of NIL deals is one in which he goes on social media to tell his 77,000 Instagram followers of his love for Raising Cane's — a chicken joint with roots in the Baton Rouge area that has strong connections to LSU. It helps explain how Seaton's haul rose to about the same as that brought in by Livvy Dunne, the former LSU gymnast who has 5.1 million followers and is considered the highest female earner in the short history of third-party NIL.

Steve Denton, the CEO at Open-dorse, which helps players find third-party NIL deals, argues the market is accurate because “college athletes have so much influence in their community that they actually perform better than influencers or creators.”

“Brands are clamoring to work with college athletes because sports is one of those things that slows people down and gets your attention,” Denton said.

Could a federal law solve the problem?

Well aware of runaway costs of third-party NIL, college sports leaders are working in Washington on a solution that could address some of the transparency issues involved in NIL. A provision in the Protect

College Sports Act awaiting a vote in the Senate would more than double the revenue-sharing amount schools can pay annually to athletes to nearly \$49 million.

What's different about that pool of money is that, because it's not considered third-party NIL, it is excluded from scrutiny by the CSC. Under NCAA rules, that money couldn't technically be considered a salary, but by removing it from the third-party NIL rules, it would do away with needing to justify the payments as legitimate NIL.

What would remain, according to industry leaders, would be a tranche of “organic” third-party NIL deals like Seaton’s agreement with Raising Cane’s. The deals presumably would not be related to any existing arrangement with multimedia rights (MMR) partners hired by the schools that currently broker deals with players.

Jon Bishop of Playfly Sports, an MMR company that looks to find deals for players and schools, sees the bill not so much imposing a cap on spending, but creating a new, and welcome lane for that organic NIL.

"There were certain brands ... that leaned in early, but many who set out thinking, 'I don't want be in the headlines because I paid someone on the side' and all that stuff," Bishop said. "So all of these things are just going to start to make a marketplace that actually will function, and I think function well."

Long history of college sports pay leads to NIL

College athletes traveled lengthy, uneven road toward compensation over the years

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The introduction of name, image likeness payments that rule the college landscape is hardly the first time atheltes have been compensated for playing. Almost since the beginning, they've received train tickets, some walking-around money and scholarships. For decades, a lot of the money came to players and their families under the table. Now, that money comes with the OK of the NCAA, though it doesn't mean college sports is truly clean. A brief look at the history of athlete compensation in college sports:

EARLY YEARS

The NCAA was founded in 1906, in a push from President Teddy Roosevelt to do something about the sometimes-fatal violence in college football and to set some eligibility standards. Long before its rulebook became a spiraling document covering hundreds of pages, athletes would accept cash or train tickets as inducements to come to particular schools. Sometimes tuition and room and board got covered, too. Very few got in trouble.

AGE OF THE AMATEUR

In 1948, the NCAA produced the Sanity Code in an attempt to rein in what was becoming an out-of-control flood of recruiting inducements to lure what were supposed to be amateur athletes. The organization initially opposed athletic scholarships, arguing they were a violation of amateurism. But the NCAA standardized the granting of scholarships in 1956, opening the door for eventual change. Part of this was meant to eliminate the cash and perks that also played a role in recruiting, but that never really went away.

ATHLETES WIN, CHAOS ENSUES

When former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon won a class-action lawsuit in 2014 over the use of his likeness in a video game, it marked the first of a series of losses in court for the NCAA that transformed college sports and illustrated the NCAA's lack of preparedness to go along with the idea that players should make money off the enterprise they built. The O'Bannon win helped clear the way for athletes to receive a stipend to cover cost-of-living expenses that fell outside their scholarships. Eleven years later, the ratifying of the House settlement, which stemmed from another lawsuit, allowed schools to share athletic revenue with players every year to the tune of up to \$21.3 million this season. It also legitimized the concept of third-party name, image and likeness deals that allows schools to blow well past that cap and has led to football rosters with \$50 million payrolls.

COMING NEXT

A bill waiting for a vote in the Senate hopes to put into law many

of the rules spelled out in the House settlement. But perhaps the most important part of that law would be a doubling of the salary cap to nearly \$49 million per school, with the hope that shifting the money from third-party NIL to under the cap will set a more realistic limit on what schools can spend.

If that bill doesn't pass, the biggest conferneces — the SEC and the Big Ten — could try to establish a framework to keep the college system together. At peril would be Olympic and women's sports programs, which operate on funds generated by football and basketball. Without cost controls, the entire industry could end up looking to private equity and a potential superleague to inject funds.

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)

专题一:基础设施权力与民主程序的法理博弈

在《芝加哥论坛报》关于邮政署(USPS)邮寄投票规则的报道中 [F1_1, F16_29],我们观察到一种典型的行政权力对民主程序基础设施的潜在捕获。邮政署作为一个物流服务机构,其敲定的邮寄规则直接决定了选票投递的效率与合法性。当 25 个州及投票权倡导者发起法律挑战时,这场博弈的本质已超越了简单的物流管理,而演变为一场关于“谁有权定义投票准入”的权力斗争。

从权力机制来看,这种冲突揭示了当代民主制度的“程序性脆弱”。当选举的合法性高度依赖于一个可被行政命令调整的物流系统时,法律的保护往往退化为一种时间差的博弈。司法拦截在此处扮演的角色,并非简单的法律适用,而是试图在行政权力快速扩张与选举日临近之间,通过法律程序强行制造一个“缓冲带”。这种博弈表明,当代政治权力的竞争已从宏大的意识形态对抗,转移到了对基础设施微观规则(如邮寄规则)的操纵之中。

专题二:话语框架的权力化:教育行政与意识形态干预

共和党众议员蒂姆·沃尔伯格对芝加哥公立学校(CPS)性别政策的调查 [F10_17, F10_18],提供了一个关于权力如何通过“保护性话语”实现监管的典型样本。在该事件中,权力运作的逻辑并非直接禁止某种行为,而是通过构建“儿童安全”、“隐私”以及“父母权利”这套话语框架,将教育行政问题转化为一种道德与权利的危机。

这种权力运作方式具有极强的隐蔽性:它将外部的政治干预包装成对弱势群体(儿童和被排除的父母)的捍卫。通过这种方式,立法者能够合法地进入学校这一微观权力空间,对代词使用、性别认同等个体认同问题进行制度化审查。这实际上是一种“定义权”的争夺——谁有权定义什么是“儿童的福祉”,谁有权决定父母在教育中的参与边界。在这种逻辑下,教育机构的专业自主权被政治监管权所覆盖,学校成为了意识形态博弈的前沿阵地。

专题一:【教育工业化逻辑下的“离别仪式”异化:从生命体验到工程管理】

在当代中产阶级的家庭生活世界中,将孩子送往大学本应是一个关于成长、独立与情感交接的现象学时刻。然而,根据 [F19_33 🔍] 的描述,这一过程已被显著地“工程化”了。

系统理性模型解构(Deconstruction of Systemic Logos):支撑这一过程的是一套技术官僚理性模型。大学入学被简化为一系列量化指标与程序:大量的文书工作、繁琐的宿舍物资购买清单 [F19_33 🔍]。在这种逻辑下,教育的起点被部分地转化为一场关于资源配置的“巨大工程”。父母的角色在此时被异化为“后勤供应商”和“行政协调员”,其核心任务是确保所有量化指标在学年开始前被精准完成。

生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描(Phenomenological Pathos):在这种系统理性的高压下,个体的真实情感被推迟或掩盖。父母在处理这些“巨大的工程”时,感受到的不仅是期待,更是被繁琐环节所带来的压力 [F19_33 🔍]。直到最终的离别时刻,这种被压抑的情感才以一种“乱麻般”的混乱状态爆发 [F18_31 🔍]。这种痛感揭示了一种情感失能——当个体长期处于“工程模式”处理事务时,面对真正的生命转折(孩子离开)时,难以迅速切换回温情的情感处理模式。

Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦(The Dialectical Friction):系统理性将这种情绪波动定义为“压力”,并试图通过更高效的清单管理来减轻。但事实上,这种“压力”恰恰是生活世界对系统理性的反抗。父母的焦虑揭示了一种隐性理性:他们意识到,无论物资多么齐全、文书多么精准,这些量化指标都无法替代真正的陪伴与情感引导。制度理性试图用“效率”替代“意义”,结果导致了情感的断裂。

系统理性模型解构(Deconstruction of Systemic Logos):在宏观治理层面,灾难通常被处理为一套物流与资金的流动模型:受灾人数、损失评估、救援物资配送。这种理性模型将受灾者简化为数据单元,旨在通过最快速度实现资源的最优分配。

生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描(Phenomenological Pathos):然而,对于像卡布拉(Kabra)这样的个体而言,这场灾难不是数据,而是通过朋友发来的视频中真实的洪水景象 [F15_27 🔍]。这种痛感是肉身性的,它瞬间撕裂了移民在异乡构建的稳定日常生活,使他们重新意识到自己与故土之间不可分割的生命纽带。

Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦(The Dialectical Friction):这里出现了一种“情感的实时化”:数字媒介(视频)消解了地理上的距离,使得远方的灾难在瞬间转化为本地的心理创伤。这种强烈的 Pathos(痛感)成为了个体重新审视自身身份认同的触发点。情感在此不再是理性的对立面,而是一种强有力的认知唤醒机制,迫使个体从日常的生存理性中抽离,进入一种基于共情的全球性认同状态。
