百事达公司发出流动性预警

因赌场建设放缓而发出"持续经营"警告

作者:罗伯特·乔姆斯基 《芝加哥论坛报》

在河西区耗资120亿美元的赌场综合体几乎暂停所有非赌博设施的建设两个月后,百事达公司在向美国证券交易委员会提交的第二季度财报中发出了"持续经营"预警。

该预警是百事达公司周五向美国证券交易委员会提交的第二季度财报的一部分,报告称总部位于罗得岛州的该公司正在寻求"多种融资方案以增强流动性",以在每次发行时保持与其循环信贷额度相符的合规性。

百事达公司正在考虑通过资产出售、股权融资或债务融资来筹集现金。

"尽管公司正积极参与多项融资方案的讨论,但当前状况和事件使公司持续经营的能力面临重大疑问,"百事达公司在文件中表示。

当审计师认为公司可能在12个月内无法偿还债务时,必须发出"持续经营"预警。该预警有时是破产申请的前兆,可能引发投资者——或许还有该市——的担忧。

百事达公司表示,融资问题与未来开发项目相关,与芝加哥建设放缓无关,后者是公司与该市在视频博彩终端规则问题上的日益升级的对峙的一部分。

"根据公司最近的10-Q文件,百事达芝加哥的建设状态没有变化,"公司在周日发表的一份声明中表示。"百事达芝加哥仍然有能力履行其义务。"

百事达芝加哥于8月9日向芝加哥社区建设者联合体(一个监督赌场综合体建设的总承包合作伙伴)发出暂停通知,暂停了从其多层建筑到活动中心,再到多个计划中的活动的一切事宜,理由是视频博彩终端的出现违反了其

2026年选举 伊利诺伊州州长

普里茨克接受教师工会支持

州长对芝加哥公立学校资金推动表示质疑,认可郊区工会支持

作者:奥利维亚·格拉韦勒、杰里米·巴伦 《芝加哥论坛报》

州长J.B. 普里茨克周一接受了伊利诺伊州郊区教师工会的支持,随后对另一个工会推动更多芝加哥公立学校资金的举动表示质疑——他辩称,该州无法仅帮助芝加哥而不向全州学校拨款。

"如果你愿意,我可以把口袋掏出来给你们看,证明本州没有闲置的资金,"这位亿万富翁州长在被问及3.5亿美元芝加哥公立学校资金推动时表示。"所以问题是,我们能从哪里找到这些资金?"

芝加哥公立学校资金推动正在为州议会11月和12月的会议法案铺路,届时可能在立法者返回斯普林菲尔德后引发一场关于学校资金的潜在斗争。

作为民主党人,普里茨克正寻求连任州长,他在接受伊利诺伊州教育协会(自称是该州最大的工会,主要代表芝加哥以外的教育工作者)的背书后发表了上述言论。

伊利诺伊州教育协会的背书发生在芝加哥教师工会施压后,芝加哥公立学校董事会在通过其近100亿美元预算时押下重注,其中包含3.5亿美元额外州资金——而这些资金目前并未分配。此举引发了观察人士的警惕,他们指出州政府在上个月刚通过本财年的预算。

任何向芝加哥公立学校额外拨款的协议——无论是通过专项现有收入还是其他收入来源——也需要

西北印第安纳社区对NIPSCO停电感到沮丧

作者:玛雅·威尔金斯、梅雷迪思·科尔顿-佩特、米歇尔·L·奎因 《邮报论坛报》

由于数千人在上周二风暴后仍未恢复供电,西北印第安纳社区领导和居民对NIPSCO的缓慢修复进度以及沟通不畅感到沮丧,尤其是在周日晚的一条未提及多个受灾最严重社区的信息后。

截至周一上午11点,NIPSCO报告仍有102,000用户未恢复供电,其中约75%的停电源于上周二的风暴。该公司表示,停电高峰时曾有301,000户停电——这是其历史上最大规模的停电。上周,NIPSCO预计约90%的用户将在8月10日周二前恢复供电,其余10%将在8月11日前恢复。周日晚的信息详细说明了各社区多数居民将在周三前恢复供电的时间,但未提及加里、芒斯特、海兰、莱克站、波特奇、格里菲斯、东芝加哥或哈蒙德等多个停电占比最大的社区。

Preliminary deal for US, Iran expires

特朗普威胁轰炸盟友阿曼,因其在霍尔木兹谈判中的角色

作者:亚伦·博瑟曼 《纽约时报》

特拉维夫,以色列 - 美伊两国于周一错过了60天期限,未能就根据其6月达成的停火协议条款限制伊朗核计划达成协议,凸显谈判破裂。特朗普总统此前承诺的一封将结束战争的信函。

在接受福克斯新闻采访时,总统对无法解决他本人发动的战争表达了挫败感,并对试图调解与伊朗谈判的盟友阿曼发出威胁。

据福克斯新闻记者特洛伊·亚皮透露,特朗普在电话采访中表示:“如果阿曼卷入战争,我们将轰炸……他们。”

针对阿曼的最新威胁发生在特朗普发现自己在实现战争初期设定目标方面缺乏筹码之际。阿曼一直在与伊朗就霍尔木兹的未来进行谈判,同时坚称自己仍是中立调解方。

特朗普两个月前曾大张旗鼓地宣布两国所谓的谅解备忘录。但这份短暂的协议未能重启霍尔木兹局势,伊朗实际上封锁了该海峡

罗宾斯市长、DJ在餐厅枪击案中被流弹擦伤

作者:奥利维亚·史蒂文斯 《每日解决方案》

据村庄发言人称,一名男子于周六在罗宾斯一家酒吧和餐厅开枪后,被一名强制保安击毙,期间子弹擦伤了包括罗宾斯市长达伦·布莱恩特在内的两人。

芝加哥29岁的玛丽奎塞特·罗斯(Marquisette Rose)于周六午夜过后不久进入位于北克拉斯大道(North Class Boulevard)与斯帕尔丁大道(Spalding Avenue)交汇处附近的哈罗德炸鸡冰吧,并开始朝入口处的“目标人物”射击,库克县警长办公室及霍华德发言人于周一证实。

霍华德表示,罗斯开枪后,一名与酒吧签约的保安进行了还击,击中了蒙面枪手。罗斯被送往医院,于1时左右因多处枪伤被宣告死亡,据警长办公室及库克县验尸官办公室称。

霍华德表示,市长布莱恩特及当晚在那里工作的29岁DJ被流弹擦伤并接受了治疗,但两人均非罗斯的目标对象。霍华德拒绝透露目标对象的信息或罗斯与保安之间的交火细节,并表示库克县警长办公室正在主导调查。

警方表示,布莱恩特当时正在酒吧参加一名高级技工的生日派对,并在等待所点食物时与顾客聊天,就在这时枪声响起。

“DJ和市长像其他许多人一样,试图寻找掩护和安全,并被流弹擦伤,”霍华德说。

他表示市长“显然有些震惊!”“这是他有生以来第一次经历那样的枪击事件,”霍华德说,“但他并未对酒吧内的其他情况感到更多担忧。”

霍华德表示,哈罗德炸鸡冰吧将继续关闭,直至罗宾斯警方完成对该事件的调查,他估计调查将于周二结束。

警长办公室呼吁任何了解枪击案的人士拨打708-863-4096与其联系。

普里茨克

来自第4版

普里茨克表示,额外资金需与全州范围内的学校资金相平衡。

“请记住,现在不可能仅为芝加哥公立学校提供资金而不为全伊利诺伊州的学校提供资金。因此,这不仅仅是$1 亿。想想看,这相当于四倍的$1 亿,而不去考虑预算中其他许多重要的优先事项。”

“只是所有的广播都在认可我们尚未为州内学校提供足够资金这一事实,”他说道。

IEAP居民卡尔·古斯克在周一下午的背书宣布后发言,否认该居民对州长的支持意味着与伊利诺伊州教师联合会(由强大的工会领袖斯泰茜·戴维斯·盖茨领导,她曾严厉批评普里茨克)或芝加哥公立学校(CPS)在政治或优先事项选择上存在任何分歧。

古斯克将IEA的背书描述为与CFS完全独立的流程。

“并不意味着我们有分歧或其他任何情况。我们有着良好的合作关系。我们在这一点上,他们在这一点上不同,”他说道,随后补充道,“这并不意味着任何信号。”

古斯克拒绝就为芝加哥学校单独提供$1 亿资金的推动发表评论,表示:“我对此了解不够,无法置评。”他还表示,州支出计划的任何即时变更都需要伊利诺伊州众议院和参议院的三分之四多数批准,而民主党人——包括许多人——已对通过CFS要求的补充预算表示怀疑。

民主党人、水牛格罗夫代表唐纳德·戴莱克承认,该提案代表了一个拥有州内部分资金最少学校的学区。戴莱克表示,CFS、芝加哥教育委员会正在提出其“不平衡预算”,并“几乎不可能依赖伊利诺伊州来改变我们整个预算流程,以填补他们选择忽视的预算缺口”。

“这意味着,现在每个地方政府、每个学区、伊利诺伊州的每个非营利组织,它们都将在夏季通过不平衡预算,并迫使伊利诺伊州改变整个预算流程来解决它们制造的危机,”戴莱克说道。

普里茨克在CFS学校董事会预算投票次日就已对该提案表示怀疑,称:“他们提出的方案目前没有收入来源。”

CFS及其在芝加哥教育委员会的盟友将修订后的预算描述为施压策略,旨在迫使州议会采取行动,并辩称CFS长期以来被州政府资金不足,而修订后的2026-27年度支出计划将导致数百个职位因裁员而流失,并使部分教室失去照管。

CFS的其他领导人,包括CFS的梅·加仑·金(May Gallon King),已对这项危机预算措施发出严厉警告,该措施是在伊利诺伊州众议院议长伦纳德·“克里斯”·韦尔奇暗示他将寻求额外资金后制定的,尽管资金来源仍不明确。韦尔奇发表上述言论之际,他试图在骚扰指控处理风波后展现政治支持。他说道:“我不确定雷、哈里·比顿以及他随后的邮寄支持是否会为芝加哥以外的学校或其他地区提供额外资金。”

普里茨克在首次就预算举措发表评论时,假装并重复韦尔奇面临的压力,将额外资金描述为“甚至比议长计划的还要少,但我们不知道具体如何”。

他再次指责州长未听闻该计划将如何实施。他补充道,他并未寻求CFS的背书,也未参与相同的背书流程。

普里茨克11月选举的对手是共和党人达伦·贝利,他创办了一所“耶稣降临”私立学校。

The fall Chicago Board of Education has voiced support for lobbying Springfield for additional state money. CFS is funded at just 70% of what it is owed under the state's own evidence-based funding formula, which is designed to steer revenue toward the neediest districts in Illinois.

But while there's broad agreement the district needs more funding, there's far less consensus on how to get it.

Some suburban Democrats say any conversation about additional funding should apply statewide, particularly if it's tied to the state's evidence-based funding program.

"I do represent very low-income school districts. So I'm also extremely interested in seeing how we can obtain more money for my school districts, specifically," said state Rep. Morgan, 2026, 2026, a statewide area. "Knowing that there will be a conversation in the fall veto session, I will definitely have numbers for my questions. I'm likely to feel that increases will be necessary to bring my school districts up to adequate."

But Rep. Bill Morgan, a Democrat from Chicago, agreed it would make sense for the funding efforts to be focused statewide and not just Chicago, saying, "I can't recall a time in the last eight years where [in] the veto session, after we've limited geographically."

Rep. Will Davis, a Democrat from Chicago, who heads the Illinois Appropriations Committee for K-12 public education, was among those who said the conversation needs to shift to funding all schools eligible for evidence-based funding, not just Chicago's.

"Chicago's new school board members should also understand that trying to do something of that magnitude only for them in veto session just doesn't happen," Davis said. "I appreciate their approach seems an enclosed number of the school board, but [there are] just some educational pieces that they need to learn, as they understand those three government things flow."

警方:殡仪馆业主允许公司在其住宅街道上查看车辆

在设施内发现尸体前数年,车辆停放在住宅街道

作者:卡罗莱纳·马佐利尼、马德琳·巴克利 《芝加哥论坛报》

2016年6月,一名欧洲公园的警察在一辆克莱斯勒公司的车内发现了一具显然已腐烂的年轻尸体和一个“瓶装牛排”后,立即起了疑心。

这辆典型的家用面包车——停放在4000街区的一条住宅街道——凌晨近2点时被双重通过。

警察在询问车辆登记车主——附近住宅的克拉克和乔安娜·摩根后,要求暂停调查。然而,当他离开时,该车辆公司是第四生命殡仪馆的事实引发了警方调查,并引起国际媒体关注,以及对当地监管机构的多次质疑。

根据警方报告及信息自由法获取的文件显示,警察发现克拉克·摩根(殡仪馆董事)的执照仍有效,其妻子乔安娜也是。但他们对这一发现及该公司对调查的“异常”回应仍存疑虑。公司未能配合当天的调查,包括联系死者家属并向库克县检察官办公室咨询是否应提起指控。

最终,警方调查被终止,摩根夫妇未因此面临刑事指控。在被问及此案时,库克县检察官办公室仅表示参考警方报告。

但这只是又一个问题:摩根夫妇在受到执法或监管机构审查后,最终几乎未受任何后果。警察对监管殡仪行业的行动提出质疑。

不到一年后,州议会区办公室参与了他们拥有并经营的业务。而仅一年多后,摩根

最终又因当局在其另一家企业——位于芝加哥南区的南美洲办事处内发现一具腐烂尸体而再次登上新闻。

摩根夫妇及代表其多家企业的律师未回应电话及预约采访请求。

首先引起欧洲公园警察注意的,是一辆克莱斯勒面包车,停放在4000街区,显然无人看管。

在核实车辆登记信息后,警察发现车辆登记在克拉克·摩根名下,于是上前检查克莱斯勒面包车,并“观察到车顶似乎有两具尸体”。

尸体被密封在帆布中,他写道,与当局能够在移除过程中看到的情况相同。警察注意到他描述为“灭火器”的气味。

他写道:“通过作为警察的培训和经验,我相信这是人体腐烂的气味。”

他在要求更多警察到场后,与从几分钟后走出房子的摩根夫妇交谈。克拉克·摩根告诉警察,他曾回家上厕所并喝水。夫妇二人告诉警察他们拥有“高地火化场”,并向警方出示了两份证件:乔安娜·摩根的殡仪业执照和克拉克·摩根的殡仪车司机执照。

警方报告将摩根夫妇描述为“在现场对警察有敌意”。

报告称:“摩根夫人并未与我合作,并表示她认为殡仪业者车后厢内有尸体并不奇怪,因为(她)和丈夫都是殡仪业者。”

Though she told us that the bodies in the Chrysler had come from biopsy care and showed them through a hospital and other phone. Johanna Morgan otherwise 'refused to provide any other information pertaining to the deceased remains in their care.'

Police looked up the Morgan's licensing information with the state department of Financial and Professional Regulation and local office. Johanna Morgan had an active funeral director's license and a canceled use, while Clark Morgan's was revealed. They also saw the death of them were listed as state records as having been disciplined.

While speaking with the Cook County media of man, one's office, they learned that the chief of the man-in-law had filed 'numerous' complaints against Heights Crematory for what was described as unprofessional practices, according to the report.

Later that morning, an investigator sought advice from the Kaiser review unit of the Cook County state's attorney's office and spoke to prosecutors who made an allegation of sexual activity with a corpse and said the event did not meet the threshold for criminal charges, according to the report.

For an Illinois statute referenced in the report, a licensed funeral director may engage others under their supervision to help with remains.

The prosecutor said Johanna Morgan had an active license which allowed her to transport the remains under her general supervision and noted that

Clark Morgan did not 'go out of his way' to stop at home, according to the report, because their home was on the way.

The police had marked the investigation as closed.

The discovery of remains at the funeral home, they say, Chapter 2, 2016 & 2017, 8:1. Blocked and angered community members who used the services of the Morgan to get their loved ones' remains.

'A spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation initiated expedited disciplinary proceedings,' suspended Johanna Morgan's funeral director license and notified law enforcement after receiving a complaint that sent police to the facilities during it.

During a walkthrough of the building, a state organization and a group of officers encountered the remains of around 20 people stored in different areas of the funeral home, another department, a police report stated. Inside the funeral home, sources told the Tribune on Friday, police and other authorities encountered bodies on gurneys, but also on shelves alongside equipment. Some of the bodies were not flagged, and the police had to cover their limbs.

In 2015, a crematory in south suburban Chicago Heights owned by Clark Morgan was shut down by state officials after the remains of more than 100 bodies were found on the street.

More than two dozen lawsuits have been filed against Heights Crematory and the Morgan since state regulation closed the facility last year. The police found no evidence of improper handling of remains, and they have also been consolidated.

库克县公园保护区团结工会成员罢工

作者:A.D. 奎格 《芝加哥论坛报》

超过200名隶属于团结工会(Teamsters)Local 700的成员在下一个第三至第四周罢工,这些成员为库克县公园保护区(Forest Preserve District of Cook County)工作。

这些工人分布在该区的景观维护、自然保护、运营项目及设施部门,负责清理道路、修剪堤坝、清洁建筑、维护步道,并清空道路。罢工恰逢旱季过后,公众对风暴损害的担忧与对现有公共空间的需求均达到高峰之际。

约40%的成员为季节工,其余为全职员工。

公园保护区发言人卡尔·托波尔在回应中表示,该区域本应保持开放状态,但随着谈判继续,其他工人将接替罢工者的职责,并通过“现有及紧急命令”确保区域运作。

Local 700代表了宣布罢工的大部分县级员工。该工会代表公园保护区维护工人于7月20日下午2:30授权罢工(自加入该区“最后一次热情且充分的提议”后)。主要分歧集中在工会要求的无薪加班工资标准与非工会工人之间的差异。

Local 700主席拉姆·威廉姆斯在夜间发言中表示,罢工“让所有人都意识到,那些在保护区从事最艰苦、最肮脏且最基础工作的人,其待遇应得到改善”。

该区在过去两年内共提供了40%的加薪——其中2%溯及年初,另有2%为今年的加薪。从2016年7月1日至8月30日的所有道路维护工作中,全职员工的加薪幅度为1%。该区最近新增了一项提议,包括50美元的一次性支付、更广泛的加班机会以及为季节工提供2.2%的一次性支付。

但工会副主席安东尼·麦吉表示,该提议未能弥合工会与非工会员工在年度阶梯加薪幅度上的差距。

“公园保护区员工拥有全县政府中最优的工资标准,”麦吉表示,“一名秘书——天知道他们工作多么出色——或一名接待员,在入职第二年仅能获得5%的加薪,而一名清洁工则需清理浴室、树叶,并处理游客投诉。我们的成员已忍受太久,无法接受任何无法克服的提议。”他补充道,去年在合同延期时,没有其他公园保护区工会“接受过与最初提议完全相同或类似的条款”,但该区表示州政府在过去六年中未决定提高补偿。这包括警察、企业及其他部门的明显差异。

麦吉指出,多数非工会员工的起薪本就更高。

维护工人的罢工可能迫使公园提高公共费用、削减服务或限制开放时间。该区在声明中表示,随着今明两年再提供三次加薪,Local 700成员的起薪自2015年6月以来已累计增长20%。一名于2015年6月入职担任清洁工的员工,其工资范围将从$0.75提升至$0.25(涨幅6-20%),并额外获得培训。

自2015年中期以来,主管们一直在表示,自那时起,该区新任总监亚当·朗克尔(Adam Runcle)被提名担任该职位。

这些员工的薪资并不高。麦吉先生表示:“公开讨论的日子即将到来,因为有些工人可能连公交线路都负担不起。”他们的薪资甚至远低于市场价值。该区的森林保护区工人时薪最高不足2.0美元,而库克县公路局工人时薪为20美元。州政府正在为此寻求同等待遇,让非工会员工也能以同样的方式获得相同报酬。该区多年来一直在纠正这种不公平现象。

约翰逊市长在集会上受到反数据中心活动人士施压

“量子海岸”开发项目真相亟待揭开

作者:杰克·谢里丹 《芝加哥论坛报》

5月

芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊周六在南区集会上面对家乡民众及数据中心活动人士的压力,此前他未能发现名为“量子海岸”的大型开发项目真相。

在刚刚签署一项更严格监管州办公室的行政命令后,约翰逊出现在东南区一所学校举办的“社区优先于量子”活动现场。当被问及是否会反对“量子海岸”运动时,约翰逊声称他“为点燃某些未被指控的价值观感到自豪”,但“缺乏必要信息”。

约翰逊表示他已投入所有其他资源与该联盟合作,在法律允许范围内确保系统开发以牺牲劳动人民的代价进行,”他说道。

约翰逊的回应并未平息众怒。该项目激怒了民众,揭示了围绕数据中心及先进计算技术——以及其与约翰逊不愿面对的美国“好南区”大型开发项目整合的政治紧张局势。

“‘这是一个满意的答案吗?’南区团结组织成员刘·特雷尔在约翰逊发言结束后质问道,他当时担任主持人。

人群高喊“但——”

“根本没有!”他说道,“他就是那个男人。他已明确表达了自己的立场。现实是,我们并未获得他的支持。‘量子设施’并非数据中心行政命令的同义词。”

这场紧张交锋并非该州卫生产业为确保准确数据而推动的最新事件。两级数据官员——其中一位常驻地点与量子海岸440英亩开发现场(该地由州办公室、位置与微电子园区共同管理)相同——在施工推进之际,均对项目提出质疑。

该潜在大型项目的部分内容包括来自PoQuantum的锚点运输,该公司计划斥资约5亿美元公共资金开发全球首个商业可行的量子核热基础设施。开发商凯利·奥格莱特在2015年表示,项目将在现场北端建造一个1吉瓦的“超级安全”数据中心。约翰逊在周六集会上表示,开发已被宣称为“数据中心计划”。

约翰逊的发言人艾莉森·诺韦洛表示,该项目指的是社区特别关注的规模较小的伊利诺伊州量子与微电子园区,而非整个“量子海岸”校区,并进一步开放了关于大型数据中心未来的讨论空间。

更广泛的项目——多年来一直备受期待——在2024年7月首次宣布时曾获得约翰逊高度赞扬。市长当时表示,这将展示该市“理应在科技进步中的努力”。

“这一推荐项目将彻底改变整个行业,从媒体应用到清洁能源技术,

创造无数就业机会并推动城市共同增长,”约翰逊当时说道。

官员们估计该项目可能带来200亿美元的经济影响。然而,在被活动人士当场击溃后,约翰逊未出席“社区优先于量子”活动,其发言人否认其在推动项目中扮演任何角色。州长办公室发言人艾莉森被要求参加社区会议。

当他周六站在舞台上时,人群高喊要求他立即停止量子海岸开发并“现在就行动”。作为回应,市长指出他于上周二签署的行政命令,该命令为新数据中心设定了更严格的监管标准。

市长指示政府部门开展评估,并确保项目工作人员获得审查数据中心设施用水用电情况的官方授权。他还呼吁对“出版物”计划以及在所有数据中心建设中的侵权行为进行调查。

市长提及其从人群中接到的监督电话,并表示他求助了一封来自项目开发商的信,该信称并未试图在校区内以数据中心为保护伞(这是校区的工作)。

该信件于2016年周五由伊利诺伊州公共事务部发送至州政府办公室。他因在第二阶段被激进分子击碎而震惊。他促进项目的角色未出席采访。“社区优先于量子”活动,州长阿利森的一名发言人被要求参与社区会议。

Quintan作为公司首席执行官,表示该报告声称某些措施显示数据中心。该CEO在信中写道:“FQMP不是数据中心,校区内也不会出现任何数据中心。”

州发言人阿利森·诺韦洛在周一的一份声明中表示,市长已受邀参加该活动,并有机会确保进入数据中心。该报告称未建造数据中心,诺韦洛在公开讨论期间为数百万居民争取到了参与权。

“这些关切不应被忽视或不加考虑,居民表达意见的强烈程度也凸显了市长为何认为亲自到场、倾听直接受开发影响的人们的重要性,”他写道。

南区团结组织组织者普林森·布朗作为该联盟董事会成员之一,称约翰逊表示该开发项目不会包含数据中心是“积极”的进展。

“虽然这并非我们的全部诉求,但我们认为这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步,”布朗表示。

约翰逊表示,如何“压抑”来自关注的愤怒,并称存在“很多紧张局势”,但认为这是市长候选人与激进分子之间的轻松互动。但该报告并非问题所在。他本可以更顺利处理。“在完美世界中,我们不会这样,”他说道。

“社区里很多孩子年复一年地看到开发项目涌入,却无法参与其中,因为他们没有汽车,”他说道。“现在这是一个好方法来获得——这并未反映问题的本质。我认为现实情况是,今天社区比上周拥有了更多保护措施。”

BALLY'S

来自第6版

与市政府达成的协议。一群126人周三向赌场公司发出要求信,呼吁举行公开听证会并恢复秋季开发项目。除了质疑施工放缓的合法性外,市议员们还质疑了Bally's完成这座57亿美元项目的财务能力。

这些质疑可能因Bally's随后发布的"持续经营"警告而被放大。但Bally's周日表示,当前的开发项目已完全获得资金支持,施工放缓是由于1GPs问题而非城市提出的流动性问题。

"正如我们已明确表示的,1GPs的合法化使我们重新调整了施工优先级。我们将重新考虑是否需要交付即使是边缘的配套设施,"该公司在声明中表示。"这一决定完全独立于且与公司10-Q文件中包含的会计披露无关。"

芝加哥巨型Bally's赌场建筑工地的塔楼于6月1日(第二版)和7日(第二版)亮相。

市长发言人未回应周日对Bally's"持续经营"警告的置评请求。

然而,Bally's的流动性问题可能成为市议员要求就施工放缓举行听证会时的讨论话题。

2022年5月,市政府选择Bally's在河西区原《论坛报》印刷厂所在地建造一座17亿美元的娱乐综合体,包括一家500间客房的酒店、一个可容纳1,000人的剧院、10家餐厅和500个博彩位。Bally's自2012年以来一直在河北区梅迪纳蒂神庙运营一家规模较小的临时赌场。

该赌场原计划于2027年初开业,但Bally's已暂停酒店、活动中心及其他配套设施的施工。该公司表示,此次放缓已导致Bally's芝加哥工地的1,500名工人中约200人被解雇。

除施工放缓外,熟悉此事的人士表示,Bally's正计划通过一项年度400万美元的付款协议来解决1G2争端,以改善与城市的关系。

Bally's指责芝加哥今年预算中将视频博彩终端合法化违反了2012年与市政府达成的永久赌场及配套设施建设协议。这也是市长布兰登·约翰逊与包含终端收入的预算案的市议员之间的争议焦点。

伊利诺伊州于2012年推出1GPs,目前全州有近50,000台机器分布在4,700多个地点——根据伊利诺伊州博彩委员会的数据,需求仍有待满足。

芝加哥去年秋季批准了视频博彩,市议员将终端收入纳入2026年预算,预计总额为840万美元。

伊利诺伊州博彩委员会发言人证实,已收到10份芝加哥1G2地点的申请,其中包括2026年预算中提及的12个地点,但这些机器仍需获得市政府最终批准才能运营。

在要求信中,市议员表示,1G2机器必须"实际运营"后,Bally's才能声称违反1G2协议并进行"善意重新谈判"。

尚未宣布举行公开听证会的日期,以讨论Bally's芝加哥施工放缓问题。

停电事件

来自第6页

可能存在超出所提供时间的个别情况。

戴尔(Dyer)代表总统鲍勃·斯塔基(Bob Starkey)周日在脸书上发布了一封信,表达了对他认为的限制放缓的不满,而非仅仅是城镇获得“bodied year”回复。根据该公用事业公司的网站,周一有超过4,000人处于停电状态。

兰德尔(Randallon)对未看到停电线路的任何进展感到沮丧,戴维·海姆(David Heim)在回应新闻时在一封电子邮件中表示。

截至周一,斯塔基在一封电子邮件中表示,他与NIPSCO总裁及市议会主席进行了“非常富有成效的对话”。

“我们目前发现他们已在处理四个问题:涉及将电力输送至‘free’星基和第一分区的要点。这项工作的结果将在今天晚些时候公布,并将更好地展现配电恢复情况,即恢复家庭供电。”

当被问及NIPSCO领导层未来可采取何种不同措施时,斯塔基表示他将尊重镇长的意见,但提到了市办公室负责人的名字为“public”。

周一下午的一份声明中,NIPSCO表示恢复工作已展开,以确保公司对损坏复杂性的掌控。

“自停电发生以来,NIPSCO已动员所有可用资源,包括州内的中心人员、合格社区附属员工以及来自印第安纳州国民警卫队的专家。公司预计将发送一份电子邮件声明。”NIPSCO在一份分享的声明中表示,“我们理解那些长时间无电可用的客户的沮丧情绪,并承诺尽快为每位客户恢复供电。”

“不过,恢复工作受制于业主姓名和公司信息。在某些地区,必须先完成主要输电和配电基础设施的修复,公司才能决定业主的具体需求。每个社区对我们都很重要,我们正在采用

ALWAYS

我们目前正在处理四个问题:为“免费”斯塔基和第一分区提供动力的问题。这项工作的结果今天晚些时候将会公布,届时将更好地展现配电恢复情况,为家庭供电。

“作为周一下午的声明,NIPSCO表示已采取恢复措施,以确保公司对损坏程度的复杂性有所掌握。”

“自商店开业以来,NIPSCO已动员所有可用资源,包括州政府自己的资源、所有中心员工、合格社区、附属员工以及来自印第安纳州国民警卫队的专家。”

通过Facebook,圣约翰镇区受托人卡莉·劳勒写道,她正在通过圣约翰镇区道路弗兰尼提供援助基金,并在其位于基切尔科特镇区林肯公路西1517号的大楼提供充电和降温中心,道路工作人员展示了一张身份证照片。

周一,海兰镇议会主席乔治·格兰格尔接到一个他一直渴望但未曾报告的电话。NIPSCO公共事务与经济发展部

主任里克·卡林多在电话中大声说着如何帮助小镇,以便50%的人能够用上电。

格兰格尔说,卡林多承诺NIPSCO工人将首先让镇政厅和警察局恢复运行,格兰格尔表示他已着手此事。但他对公司资源处理方式的沮丧依然存在。

“我一直在和邻居们交谈,看到很多人坐在那里等待理事,其中几个说他们不想告诉我发生了什么,因为那会让我生气,”他周一说。“与NIPSCO的沟通非常糟糕,你无法找到一个人交谈,他们让你上网,而你知道发布的信息经过审核却什么都不告诉你。根本没有人际沟通。”

格兰格尔表示,他计划前往印第安纳州公用事业监管委员会,要求其调查NIPSCO对紧急情况的处理方式,因为尽管无人否认这场风暴前所未有,但他感觉根本没有任何应对计划。

“NIPSCO耗费了我们的时间并锁住了员工,导致许多人离职,因此我们现在有更多承包商,仅卡车每天就要花费$100。他还说:‘这还不包括每次施工的成本。’‘而且我们知道NIPSCO会从我们的工作中获得更多资金,所以我们需要进行调查,我真的认为某些人需要为此负责。’

雷克里奇市长比尔·卡罗尔在周日晚上的Facebook帖子中表达了对NIPSCO电力恢复响应的沮丧。卡罗尔周一将在《帕姆论坛报》上表示,他理解需要时间来完成新的投标。雷克里奇的家庭包括NIPSCO的电力恢复估算让他感到沮丧。

“看到这些名单让人心灰意冷,”他说,并补充道许多人表示雷克里奇可能会被归入与盖瑞一起排期的名单中。“你正在把我的城市排除在外,而这个城市的居民已选出要照顾好它。”

卡罗尔感谢NIPSCO为整个地区恢复电力所做的努力,但他感到雷克里奇在沟通中被忽视,即使他不是终身居民,也表示他的城市需要与周边地区同等的支持。

在以色列和美国于2月底发动袭击后,伊朗或将结束已进入"死亡月"的冲突。

最后期限在很大程度上是象征性的,美国已被迫在数周内目睹伤亡人数的上升。原协议还规定美国可将期限延长至2026年2月,届时可能成为敏感且全面的谈判时刻。

但美国使用的代名词"他"已难以实现战争目标——如迫使伊朗限制其核野心——且如何美化

伊朗政府认为两国仍面临进一步行动的风险。

在福克斯新闻的采访中,特朗普表示他"不急于"达成协议,同时维持适当控制并继续阻止伊朗获得核武器。

但与此同时,总统的愤怒再次被引发。

这是总统办公室第二次结束该国。今年5月曝出美国曾讨论与伊朗合作以换取其对美国发动袭击的支持后,特朗普勃然大怒。

"我们将比所有人都强硬,否则就得把他们炸飞,"特朗普当月告诉记者。"他们明白这一点。他们会感到愤怒。"一名白宫官员在回应置评请求时错误回应。

总统周一表示,阻止伊朗获得核武器将是既定目标。"无论数字如何,最终结果将是伊朗无论如何都无法以任何形式拥有核武器,"他在社交媒体上表示。

伊朗外交部发言人此前曾告诉记者,有关核武器的谈判毫无进展,并表示60天期限"从根本上不再相关"。

自1月以来,美国尚未公开报道对伊朗部队的打击。但分析人士称,美国和伊朗正在酝酿一场旷日持久的经济行动,可能轻易升级为新的战争。伊朗在西方眼中广泛被视为关键石油和天然气运输通道,正通过动荡的公共储蓄市场向特朗普施压。

美国政府已在1.5.5小时内成功实施了对伊朗空域的"阳光系统"。美国还一直在监控伊朗港口,希望通过经济制裁迫使伊朗让步。但伊朗的贸易商们正押注该国能比美国承受更多经济损失。

"伊斯兰共和国正试图对美国施加经济压力,而美国正试图对伊斯兰世界施加经济压力,"布赖恩·J·比南在民主防御倡议组织工作的伊朗专家表示。

"比南表示,美国的经济战可能对伊朗经济危机产生压倒性效果,"美国表示,"伊朗可能会做出进一步回应,为另一轮武装冲突奠定基础。"

与特朗普近期其他中东协议一样,针对伊朗的协议在未来数月的谈判中将成为一个重大的难题。分析人士认为该协议存在重大缺陷,并暗示总统本可以通过经济手段避免战争,而非在中东地区进一步升级冲突。

伊朗官员指出,美国是该国主要的外国劫持者,在霍尔木兹海峡拥有私人权力,这一言论引发了袭击与反击的循环。

再来一次百万富翁税公投?我们更想问问芝加哥选民

芝加哥教育委员会上月通过了一项1000亿美元预算,该预算依赖于$1500万州政府资金——这些资金可能永远无法到位。如今,教育委员会成员已在11月选票上设置了两项咨询性问题,意在向市政和州政府官员施压。

其中一项问题将询问选民是否支持全州范围的百万富翁税。另一项关于对空地所有者征收经济处罚的问题也在8月18日的会议上获批。

咨询性问题(又称 advisory questions)不具法律效力,结果不会改变政策。但它们对选民和当选官员均有一定价值。对普通民众而言,这是就重要议题表达意见的机会。这向决策者发出信号,有助于政策制定。

但再来一次百万富翁税公投?我们已走过这条路。

今年春天,斯普林菲尔德早些时候考虑将一项香烟税修正案与百万富翁税一同纳入11月选票,但耗时一年。芝加哥在热门酒店中对百万富翁税的投票结果几乎不言而喻。

但这几乎不是选民关心的唯一议题。仅从选票上根本无法看出,而这正是设计如此。

政府机构可通过投票将附加咨询性问题纳入选票。若普通民众或关注公民团体希望获得同等机会向芝加哥选民提出合理问题,伊利诺伊州法律要求公民团体需收集相当于上次州长选票总数8%的签名。在芝加哥,这意味着超过10,000个签名。

我们理解,某些签名门槛有助于筛除大量问题,但现行规则对普通民众构成重大障碍,应重新评估。

难道不更该衡量公众对当下重要议题的看法吗?

以下是我们认为应提交选民表决的问题:

  • 当芝加哥面临预算赤字时,市领导是否应在提议新税或法律之前先确定削减开支的具体方案?

  • 预算赤字是芝加哥(及伊利诺伊州)的长期问题,无论是学区还是市政府本身。预算季总伴随着更多税收上涨的合理担忧。这对普通民众和企业而言并非健康生态。我们很想看到此问题的投票结果,因为我们怀疑许多人会借此向官员传递信息:是时候紧缩开支链条,而非不断向纳税人伸手了。

  • 芝加哥是否应在房产税征收额超过通胀率时,需获得选民批准?

  • 与预算季类似,房产税季也带来几乎确定的后果:部分地区将无法完全负担。根据库克县财务官玛丽亚·帕帕斯3月发布的研究,过去30年,库克县房产税征收总额增长速度约为通胀率的两倍,且远超平均工资增幅。这

  • 芝加哥是否应降低税费和监管壁垒,以鼓励更多住房建设并解决该市的住房可负担性问题?

  • 应该让芝加哥关闭或合并大量严重入学不足的学校,并将节省的资金转用于剩余学校的学生吗?

现在有一个问题,我们个人很想知道答案。芝加哥的学校中约有90所被认定为“严重入学不足”,即学生入学率仅为容量的15%或更低。这会产生巨大成本。市联合会报告称,这些学校的平均生均支出成本为$1,000,000,相当于每年近100 亿美元,000。芝加哥有2,100所学校,其中超过四分之一的入学率为10,000人。

  • 伊利诺伊州是否应被允许在未提供必要资金的情况下对芝加哥强制实施新的政策?

无资金支持的强制政策几乎在全州各市镇都引发官员不满。去年芝加哥在解决州养老金问题时,不得不为此额外增加超过1000亿美元的养老金债务。如果芝加哥校董事会成员真想向斯普林菲尔德传递信息,这是一个值得解决的问题。

我们并非在暗示我们了解芝加哥人会如何回答所有这些问题。这正是问题的关键所在,也是为什么咨询性问题首先存在的原因。这些问题应用于告知政治家他们尚未了解的情况,而非用作支持他们已做出决定的幌子。

  • 投票者应能够就鼓励多样性的解决方案提供指导吗?

布兰登·约翰逊做了正确的养老金选择

我们不知道芝加哥本年度预算赤字相比一个月前是否发生了显著变化,当时该市首席财务官或市长表示,原本预算中的全额顾问养老金缴款可能无法按时支付。

但不管怎样,上周市长布兰登·约翰逊向投资者明确表示其政府确实会在年内兑现承诺,这仍是个好消息。

如果看起来约翰逊和在2026年预算问题上无视其反对意见而占据市议会多数席位的政党似乎仍在继续这场争论,那是因为他们确实在这样做。双方的主要分歧之一在于,是否应继续向该市四个严重资金不足的养老金基金缴纳超过法律要求的最低标准,这一做法始于前市长任期内。

去年,约翰逊最初提议将顾问缴款从前一年的约200 million美元降至10 million美元。但市议会多数派坚持要求全额200 million美元。随后本届政府仅在1月支付了预算200 million美元中的150 million美元,并表示将在今年晚些时候支付剩余部分。因此,当上月约翰逊的代理CFO霍文·马勒对该市是否会如期支付养老金表示模糊时,市长的反对者——市议员们——强烈反应。

马勒上月底离任,其永久继任者、前Fifth Ratings高级董事Ashlee Galerisch本月晚些时候上任。因此,该市与投资界的年度会议恰逢五楼人事动荡之际。约翰逊在演讲中迅速消除了不确定性,表示该市仅需等待库克县推迟的房产税收入即可支付养老金。他说:“由于县里的房产税延迟,问题不在于能否支付,而在于何时支付。”

去年推动全额缴款的市议员们并未因约翰逊找到“来自我们联盟的虚假、不自然收入来源”而被说服采取行动,39区市议员萨曼莎·纽根特在声明中表示:“这不是领导力,而是追赶。”

我们怀疑她说得对。但值得肯定的是,这一市议会多数派——包括来自全市各方的议员——在面对这位市长的批评和立场时能够团结一致。

然而,结果将是积极且值得关注的。在芝加哥信用评级岌岌可危、分析师们正寻找更多降级理由之际(约翰逊在三年监控期内已获得四次降级),本届政府最不该做的就是再给他们添加更多弹药。

今日回顾:4 年前 FOX 在斯莫利特案中的操纵之路

我们不知道为何库克县检察官金·福克斯会在第一时间与电视演员朱尼·斯莫利特接触。但随着特别检察官丹·韦布周一发布的毁灭性声明,我们拥有了一份独立审查报告,揭示福克斯如何将此案搞砸。她为一名名人被告设定了特殊期限,并多次在公开场合谈论其行为。更糟的是,她将检察官应对所有被告一视同仁的原则变成了笑柄。

这场闹剧持续了近一年。韦布在调查福克斯及其办公室是否存在潜在刑事行为时表示,未发现任何试图纯粹影响福克斯及其同事的证据。然而,我们面对的却是一名县级检察官的所作所为:她在公众面前高喊公平正义的法律程序,实则在一场轰动性刑事案件中试图销声匿迹,最终却撕碎了自身信誉。

韦布的声明在其失败的报告发布前就已戳穿福克斯的辩护。韦布并未列举更多错误或计算失误,而是揭露了福克斯办公室的一系列谎言、不当步骤及虚无缥缈的借口——这些显然是为了让斯莫利特得到她想要的结果,同时将其办公室置于批评之外。

当福克斯撤销指控时,她绕过了常规程序和要求,既不要求斯莫利特认罪,也不处以重罚。其他刑事司法系统的检察官则受到特殊照顾。韦布发现,在起诉书下达后的几天内,私下的法庭案件并无任何改变。福克斯的办公室向公众或芝加哥警方提供的示例表明,它是在否认指控。

福克斯对其诚信及办公室造成的损害是真实存在的。市民们该如何继续信任金·福克斯的话?

芝加哥及库克县的民众理应得到一个让被告得到平等对待的司法系统。金·福克斯却给了一名被控 10 项重罪的名人被告一份“甜头”交易。而她对导致这一决定的过程撒了谎。这就是所有人关注此案后应得出的严酷结论。她是否因此失去了库克县居民的信任?又是为何?

女子体育运动需要的不仅仅是观众,更需要更多参与者

肖利·桑福德

女子体育运动从未像现在这样受到观众的欢迎。WNBA特许经营权估值飙升。最近的3月麦迪逊和冬季奥运会创下了女子项目的观众记录。

年轻女孩的参与率在过去一年有所上升——这得益于像杜马斯、拜尔斯、杰里科·威廉姆斯和卡尔顿·克拉克等明星运动员的影响力。但现在的机遇是让这种势头在青春期过后持续下去,因为当学校运动队解散后,女性失去了让体育成为生活常规一部分的结构支持。

参与率往往在终身收益开始之际就消退。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据,近半数美国女性未能达到基本健康指南所要求的休闲体育活动量。而如今,成年男性在过去一年从事体育运动的可能性几乎是女性的两倍。

女性应当更多地参与体育运动,因为即使每周仅仅两小时也能为身体健康、心理健康和整体福祉带来显著益处——而且体育运动有趣、社交,且在人生任何阶段都能参与。

体育运动是学校中最有效的体育活动形式之一。一项由美国和丹麦研究人员进行的为期20年的研究发现,网球、羽毛球和足球等社交体育运动平均可为参与者增加近7年的预期寿命,而久坐不动的同龄人预期寿命则完全不同。

即使是其他参与者也能产生可衡量的影响。每周仅3小时的独特体育运动样本研究显示,参与者心血管死亡率降低50%,总死亡率降低67%。

体育运动是为数不多的能够持续将锻炼与内置社交互动结合的活动——这两个因素均与更好的心理健康独立相关。

参与团体体育运动的成年男性报告称,随着时间的推移,压力、焦虑和抑郁水平更低。对于被诊断出抑郁症的女性(其比例几乎是男性的两倍),这些益处尤为重要。一项2021年的纵向研究发现,属于体育或运动团体的成年人在四年后报告的抑郁症状显著减少。

定期体育运动还能建立自信。毫不意外的是,94%的女性领导者在大学时曾参加过体育运动。体育运动奖励的是打破常规、应对混乱并解决战略决策的能力——即使每周仅仅两小时。

但挑战并非女性不想参与。而是一旦女性离开有组织的体育运动,几乎没有明显的方式可以重返。休闲联赛可能令人望而生畏,通常由男性主导,且对技能水平要求过高,令临时参与者望而却步。

某些体育运动比其他运动更有效地克服这些障碍。网球就是其中之一。

女性约占全年网球参与者的42%——在热门体育运动中占比最高之一,这使得初学者更有可能找到水平相当的搭档。

网球运动的门槛也相对较低。美国境内有近27万个网球场,其中许多是公共场地。入门成本也相对较低——只需一名搭档、一副球拍、几颗球和一个球场的使用权即可开始尝试。

更重要的是,网球是人们在任何年龄都能参与的运动。与许多高冲击力团队运动不同,它可以适应不同的健康和能力水平,使其成为成年人数十年保持活跃的实用长期选择。

网球还能在人生的几乎任何阶段增强社区联系。双打团队可以成为搬迁后的落脚点、繁忙工作生活中的每周锚点,或是全新的社交环境。

网球是一项人们倾向于坚持的运动。美国网球参与人数已连续六年增长,2025年有超过2000万名选手重返球场——因为几乎所有参与者都会继续回来。

其健康益处或许是原因之一。在同一项长期研究中,网球运动与寿命延长47年相关——几乎是许多其他运动形式观察到收益的两倍。由于成年女性约占总参与人数的80%,网球现今以其天然的负重运动方式为早期和晚期参与者 alike 提供基本的骨密度支持。

网球还能提供可持续且坦率地说有趣的全面锻炼。一小时网球可消耗800至800卡路里热量——与在跑步机上跑步一小时相当。

且由于全身参与,网球能改善肌肉构成、握力与协调性。

女子体育不应仅在体育场和电视上蓬勃发展。随着需求与票价上涨,休闲参与也应如此。尽管网球并非唯一选择,但它正好提供许多成年女性更需要的——一项易于参与、社交、身体可持续且真正愉悦的运动。

莱辛·达文波特是前WTA世界第一,三届大满贯单打冠军,三届大满贯双打冠军,以及1996年女子单打奥运金牌得主。达文波特是国际网球名人堂成员,现任美国联合会杯队队长,并担任Tennis Channel的评论员与分析师。

湖中游泳让我重获活力。但在芝加哥,一道分界线依然存在

SHOLEY, SANFORD

我的游泳之旅常沿着芝加哥湖滨展开,那里有我父母教我游泳的记忆。我在平静的晨水中穿梭,手指划过湖滨公园的沙滩。仿佛父母又回到我身边,仍需伸手才能触及我。

虽在hedians的湖泊与池塘学会游泳,但正是在芝加哥,我成了一名湖中游泳者,成为一个独特部落的一员——对他们而言,游泳不仅是锻炼,更近乎一种精神实践,一种在密歇根湖这片圣地中遵循的仪式。

我记得自己加入这个部落的那天。那是十月下旬的一个下午,我在菲尔德公园的普罗蒙特里岬湖滨漫步,像往常一样驻足凝望湖面。搬到南区上神学院后,我常独自前来。那天,我看到四名游泳者在远离岸边的波浪中划水。我难以置信有人会在如此冰冷的水中游得如此之远。

突然,我看见(说着话)自己也该下水,并报警。但渐渐地,四名游泳者从水中跃出,两人爬上岩石,两人则在水中漂浮。令我震惊的是,他们并不年轻。我帮他们擦干身子并穿好衣服——两位身材结实的女士,手臂粗壮,她们的伴侣则是两位灰发从水中探出、鬓角斑白的壮硕男士。我询问水是否冰冷,一名男子挥手驳回了我的担忧,骄傲地答道:“来吧!水会为你挑选!”

我无法与北区交流,那里的海滩与两条河流的混凝土河岸截然不同。我在这片湖水中寻得庇护,在思考与爱中游泳。我曾在山间游泳,但更多是为了被这片水体的治愈力量疗愈。奥吉布瓦人将密歇根湖恰如其分地命名为“Michigami”,即“大水”,其浩瀚之大甚至在月球上可见。

SHOLEY, SANFORD

并非只有我部落中的成员通过游泳维持健康与理智。我们这些身患慢性病、饱受创伤或正在康复路上的人,通过游泳感受自主权,感受快乐,感受身体的鲜活。

运动生理学家正在发现游泳者们早已知晓的真相。游泳,尤其是在淡水中,是一项完美的运动,对身心均有多重益处。它几乎调动全身肌肉,增强力量与柔韧性,扩展肺活量并提升耐力,增强心血管健康,改善免疫系统功能,帮助体重管理,且对关节温和。游泳还能减轻压力,因其节奏呼吸与动作能触发大脑释放内啡肽与多巴胺,产生愉悦与幸福感。

但当夏日酷暑笼罩这座砖石与混凝土构筑的城市时,并非所有芝加哥人都能在密歇根湖凉爽的湖水或远离海滩的社区泳池中找到慰藉与快乐。对更多居民——无论是这里还是全国各地——而言,游泳是一种排他性的休闲方式,原因不仅在于人们不懂游泳技巧,更在于他们从未有机会学习。结构性不平等与社会经济因素持续决定着谁能享受游泳带来的益处,谁不能。这也解释了为何游泳作为一种休闲形式在美国整体呈下降趋势。

根据美国红十字会与疾病控制与预防中心的调查,超过半数(56%)的美国成年人从未接受过正规游泳课程,无法通过基本技能测试。而在黑人与拉丁裔成年人中,这一比例更高。性别差异同样存在,女性学习游泳的可能性低于男性。

对于芝加哥的许多儿童而言,游泳课程是一项难以负担的奢侈品。几年前,由洛瑞儿童医院开展的一项研究显示,研究人员发现了大量体重超标的儿童。当一位女士告诉我,学会游泳一直是她的梦想,最终她独自游过泳池时,她的mtamphani团队送上了三连胜。

在教孩子们漂浮时,我用手托着他们,我意识到自己正在重温多年前在印度浅滩从母亲那里学到的课程。

看到孩子们学会游泳,他们团队的挣扎与微小身躯逐渐转化为自信与流畅的泳姿,这种喜悦无以言表。但在与不同年龄、性别和体型的成年人一起工作时,我却以意想不到的方式深受触动与启发。当一位女士告诉我,学会游泳一直是她的梦想,最终她独自游过泳池时,她的mtamphani团队送上了三连胜。

以色列再也无法否认美国政治立场的转变

丹尼尔·德佩特里斯

当一位以色列总理飞往华盛顿与美国总统会面时,红地毯通常会铺开。

但当以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在7月29日访问美国、与唐纳德·特朗普会面时,他并未受到这样的欢迎。相反,这位资深政客在镇上参加美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的纪念仪式时,却低着头,唯恐引发更多争议——作为美国的"合作伙伴",他曾多次公开表达对以色列中东政策的关切。

这个轶事凸显了一个日益无法否认的事实:以色列不再能免于批评。那些过去即使仅仅建议适度削减驻以美军的国会候选人,如今已进入主流,在民主党初选中击败多名建制派政客。民主党内的进步派候选人在纽约、科罗拉多和密歇根等州的初选中获胜,这些州的选民曾将以色列视为长期竞选伙伴,并与美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)保持一致。

甚至民主党的政治建制派也开始感受到风向的转变。民主党参议院领袖查克·舒默——国会中以色列盟友之一——在2024年3月的一次参议院演讲中公开斥责内塔尼亚胡,并鼓励选民支持苏珊·伊曼纽尔(前国会议员、白宫幕僚长、芝加哥前市长)的竞选。7月,伊利诺伊大学在114所大学进行的一项调查显示,有48%的受访者认为内塔尼亚胡将以色列变成了一个国际研讨会。

政治现状并非仅由拉尔夫等人引领,他们并非唯一一个在选民趋势中感受到变化的群体。如果民调能说明问题,美国民众普遍对华盛顿的以色列政策感到厌恶。从1948年建国以来,两党政府对以色列的支持已出现显著转变。美联社-威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校公共事务研究中心7月的一项调查显示,10%的民主党人(包括10%的犹太民主党人)认为美国对以色列的支持过多——这一比例较2024年1月13个百分点。昆尼皮亚克大学的民调显示,48%的美国人认为美国对以色列的支持过多,这是近十年来该问题调查中最高的数字。内塔尼亚胡尤其受到批评:近半数美国人认为他应因战争罪指控被逮捕(在美国的利益范围内)。

内塔尼亚胡或许可以安慰自己,认为这只是民主党对以色列态度的转变,而非美国两党体系的整体变化。然而,尽管共和党仍高度同情以色列,但其支持也并非铁板一块。特朗普"中东政策"内部的分歧显著。仅10%的特朗普选民认为美国与以色列现政府的关系过于密切。而在18岁以下的选民中,这一比例接近15%。

特朗普政府当然仍坚称以色列在现任美国总统的支持下前所未有。但有时,作为朋友意味着在以色列政策偏离正轨或直接危及华盛顿在中东实现目标时,必须说出逆耳之言。

在修辞层面,有人可以提出这样一个论点:特朗普在对以色列的强硬程度上甚至超过了乔·拜登。当在9月,以色列试图在卡塔尔暗杀一名伊朗高级官员时——卡塔尔是结束该国战争的关键角色——特朗普理所应当地谴责了这起袭击,并斥责内塔尼亚胡的愚蠢与鲁莽。在白宫接见卡塔尔首相谢赫·穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼时,以色列总理正在场。今年6月,当以色列军队轰炸英国并险些令华盛顿与伊朗的和平谈判破裂时,特朗普直接致电内塔尼亚胡并对他大声呵斥。

2024年共和党总统候选人、副总统JD万斯在对内塔尼亚胡政府的批评上甚至比特朗普走得更远,公开指责其政府正试图蓄意破坏特朗普政府在中东的外交努力。他深陷其中。当特朗普与伊朗签署谅解备忘录时,以色列政府的右翼盟友纷纷登上媒体平台,嘲笑这一举措,并指责其未能对伊朗石油产业实施制裁,且可能解冻数十亿美元的伊朗资产。万斯无法容忍这种喧嚣,于是登上乔·博加特的播客节目以示警告:

“我们确信,在他们的体系内,有一些人正在操纵并试图改变美国的公众舆论,以无限期地延续战争。”

万斯对以色列内部那些继续反对与德黑兰谈判的人始终保持一致立场。武器并非可行的替代方案,那么就停止空谈。这一切并不意味着美以关系濒临全面破裂。美国民主社会主义者组织可能正在崛起,但该组织在以色列——实际上将其视为修正主义国家——与朝鲜——将其视为可建设的国家——的立场几乎不会在国会山获得任何支持。

然而,美国频繁的军事补充法案为以色列提供支持,1400亿美元的年度美国对以色列国防援助构成了另一重不可能。美国对以色列在中东采取的任何行动的外交背书都在掩盖其政治与政策的虚伪。这并不意味着美以关系注定将回归常态而非特殊。习惯就好。

读者之声

我可能会离开熊队

20年来,我一直关注芝加哥熊队,但在这期间,这支球队仅有7个赛季取得胜利。同期,一支邻近球队——我曾支持过的球队——取得了10个胜利赛季,在相同的天气条件下比赛。但我仍与熊队同在,因为我们有胜利的赛季,但由于金钱的缘故,我对球队抱有希望。

正因为如此,我对熊队管理层的错误决定感到失望。在新体育场的问题上,由于几乎要与另一支球队同场竞技,优先事项本应是确定哪种激励预算能为球队带来最佳的底线收益,而非考虑法律问题。

我对乔治·麦考利最近的言论感到愤怒,他认为熊队需要调整至印第安纳州的体育场。

我知道球员和球队有时会让人想起酿酒人队、熊队、泰坦队、突袭者队,以及——是的——克里布队。总会有值得追随的胜利球队。

我可能会离开,是的,我会处理这件事。 ——艾伦·麦卡迪,南埃尔金

让熊队去印第安纳州

职业体育队及其所有者价值数十亿美元,球队总净价值为$1,000.,麦考利家族的估值分别为425亿美元和525亿美元。然而,他们却向州政府和市政府请愿,要求支付其拟建体育场的账单。为什么要他们支付?也许他们会从州政府获得税收豁免。

但请想想:当他们在上午9点后抵达城市时,他们身处城市之中。他们本可以做出改变以跟上时代,甚至可以在体育场上加盖该死的穹顶。但不,他们宁愿哭诉成本,而这些成本他们本可以轻松承担。

当其他球队家族向州政府和市政府申请资金时,他们被拒绝了。然而,他们自行对瑞格利球场进行了改造。为什么熊队不能这样做?

如果他们如此渴望搬到印第安纳州,他们就应失去保留“芝加哥”这一名称的权利。或许哈蒙德霍西尔斯队会是一个更合适的名字。 ——阿莫斯·A·韦克斯勒,芝加哥

厌倦了这些闹剧和贪婪

有没有人和我一样认为麦考利家族和熊队总裁兼首席执行官一边是谈判的另一面,一边将他们心爱的熊队搬到哈蒙德?和许多芝加哥大都会地区的居民一样,我厌倦了这些闹剧和贪婪。

许多NFL球队老板自行承担体育场建设费用,让纳税人置身事外。不幸的是,麦考利家族似乎认为每一位芝加哥和伊利诺伊州居民都必须为熊队的生存买单。在许多人仅为支付账单、养家糊口和填饱肚子而挣扎的时代,他们最不关心的就是一支NFL球队的贪婪。

一旦芝加哥熊队离开芝加哥搬到哈蒙德,下一支NFL球队将开始争夺芝加哥的归属。还记得巴尔的摩小马队在“马蹄铁”掩护下搬到印第安纳波利斯的往事吗?后来,巴尔的摩乌鸦队诞生了。还有奥克兰突袭者队、洛杉矶突袭者队、奥克兰突袭者队,以及现在的拉斯维加斯突袭者队。而查格斯队则离开芝加哥前往洛杉矶。

相信我,芝加哥人,有许多NFL球队渴望入驻芝加哥,并愿意为建造一座新的现代化体育场自行出资。麦考利家族只是其中之一罢了。

芝加哥论坛报

麦考利说他们希望改善球迷体验。这不过是敷衍之词。他们真正想做的是快速提升这些"胸男"的等级。

现在,他们希望熊队作为一支球队取得成功。球员们不需要为老板的任性负责。他们为比赛付出,而不是参与老板的决策。但请思考这一点:如果熊队搬到哈蒙德并在搬迁期间赢得超级碗,那么超级碗游行将在哈蒙德的市中心街道上举行。到时伊利诺伊州州长和芝加哥市长会笑到最后。

——我们的市中心街道只属于在芝加哥比赛的芝加哥球队。想想就知道了。

——马克·赞格罗,拉格兰奇帕克

让我们惹恼哈蒙德

芝加哥和伊利诺伊州该如何解决芝加哥熊队的问题?伊利诺伊州首先向哈蒙德保证,南伊利诺伊州将被允许与印第安纳州接壤,这样所有人都会满意。熊队将不再被称为芝加哥熊队,南伊利诺伊州也不会将税款用于支持芝加哥。Go figure.

——杰罗姆·C·莫尔斯,芝加哥

捐赠给西北大学

"失败的体制"——这是当天早些时候关于伊利诺伊州政府未能通过温哥华批准的社论的绝佳标题(第176页选项部分)。它可能会成为该州的州徽,而《城堡之墙》则会出现在页面底部,具体由莉兹和迪克·乌思林斯捐赠1000万美元给西北大学橄榄球项目。

为了让西北大学在当今职业和大学体育商业中保持竞争力,乌思林斯的捐赠不仅将用于重新聘用大学运动员,还将助长"学生运动员"神话,这有损学术诚信。

不幸的是,这笔非凡捐赠的实施很可能不会提升,反而可能损害西北大学作为世界一流学术大学的声誉。

——弗兰克·G·斯皮勒,西北大学前教员、熊队前景

将战士变为娱乐

我住在一个老房子里,正好位于芝加哥航空航天展的航线下方。当我的房子在飞机经过时震动,我无法摆脱这个念头:在世界其他任何地方,这样的轰鸣声都会宣布这是一场精彩的表演。

这肯定是2月18,2026 9超过100名伊朗学童听到的最后一声巨响,之后他们被质问。将这些高科技杀戮和责备包装成一场空中表演———种供公众消费的娱乐——是我们政府能做出的最模糊的声明之一。

——理查德·温兹,芝加哥

骑手向我展示了什么

在进入格兰德帕克音乐节的音乐后,我发现所有回家的路都被封锁了。当我伸手去拉座位时,公交车突然刹车,我失去了平衡。就在这时,一位女士起身让座给我。没有人在意我是对是错、是穷是富、是黑人还是白人,他们只把我视为一个需要帮助的人。

芝加哥被誉为"运转的城市",但我更愿意将它看作一个"关爱的城市"。

——玛丽·安·麦格鲁伊,威尔梅特

罗伯特·L·约翰逊 1935-2026

突破传统的非裔企业高管:罗伯特·L·约翰逊在西尔斯的崛起之路

芝加哥论坛报记者 鲍勃·戈德伯勒

罗伯特·L·约翰逊是一位突破传统的非裔企业高管兼导师,他在西尔斯商业与合作部工作了25年后转型,随后在近20年的时间里经营自己的包装企业。

约翰逊还在母校罗斯福大学创办了一所学院,培养年轻人的正式领导技能。Johnson因病于7月29日在家中辞世,身后留下与妻子罗丝·约翰逊共同生活69年。自1972年起,他便是埃文斯顿的居民。约翰逊出生于1935年芝加哥南区,在英格兰高中就读。后进入马尔科姆学院(现为马尔科姆·X学院),随后在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校攻读学士学位,并于1958年在该校获得硕士学位。

早年职业生涯中,约翰逊在上世纪60至70年代于芝加哥住房管理局工作,后升任助理经理。其妻子表示,他于1966年在南区工程社区任职期间开始涉足企业高管岗位。在加入西尔斯前,他曾在公司总部任职——最初在西尔斯塔楼(后迁至西区)。

罗伯特·L·约翰逊于1982年6月11日在西尔斯塔楼发表演讲,时任西尔斯特色销售部门负责人。

多个部门,后调任男装部副总裁(1978年)。

"那是个激动人心的时代,因为企业都希望整合高管层级,"约翰逊在1997年接受《论坛报》采访时表示。

在西尔斯的新任命(如光学中心和相机部门)中,约翰逊失去了原职,最终于1998年从公司退休。

前西尔斯基金会主席宝拉·安努在西尔斯工作超过24年,曾任营销传播主管。她回忆道,21岁时进入西尔斯时,几乎没有与她肤色相同的同事,尤其是女性。

"我21岁进入西尔斯时,发现那里几乎没有与我相似的人,特别是黑人女性。这种情况几乎闻所未闻。"她说。

1988年,在仍于西尔斯任职期间,约翰逊与女儿罗恩达·约翰逊共同创办了总部位于亚特兰大的Bioprofit公司,专注于柔性包装制造,并成为百事可乐和Prime Life的供应商。该公司是少数族裔所有企业供应商计划的一部分。在从西尔斯退休后不久,约翰逊与女儿因包装印刷方法引发的环保问题陷入困境。在重组过程中,他们与总部位于孟菲斯的合作伙伴汤姆·布赖斯联手,创立了Johnson Bryce公司。

约翰逊在2007年将约翰逊·布赖斯转让给另一个家族,他们在2009年将第二处住所迁至孟菲斯。

约翰逊的公民参与包括在圣路易斯联邦储备银行董事会任职,同时他与女儿桃乐茜·沙特在孟菲斯和埃文斯顿之间生活。他于1978年作为罗斯福大学董事会成员。

作为在罗斯福大学工作的一部分,他于2014年创建了黑人男性领导力学院。去年,该大学将该中心更名为罗伯特·L·约翰逊领导力学院。每年夏天,该学院接待许多高中二年级和三年级学生,并发展个人智力和非判判性。

退休后,约翰逊喜欢旅行和航海,并曾任康涅狄格州芒特港博物馆董事会成员。他还曾一度在埃文斯顿历史中心和当地一家TMCS董事会任职,并乐于成为芝加哥布雷迪社交俱乐部的一员。

除了妻子和女儿,约翰逊还被他的另一个女儿、富有的孙辈及七个孙辈所陪伴。

葬礼私人举行。

查克·E·芝士适应新时代

新任首席执行官主导品牌刷新:重新定价与店铺概念升级

达拉斯哈佛新闻

每个人都认识查克·E·芝士。对新任命的首席执行官斯科特·德雷克而言,这既是解放,也是方向。

这家总部位于欧文的儿童娱乐巨头拥有无可争议的标志性品牌形象。这家在价格与旋律钢琴帝国背后的自发业主几十年来一直是家喻户晓的名字。公司每年举办333,000场生日派对,因此有充分理由自称“美国的生日之都”。

但正如德雷克常说的那样:“如果你最近四年没去过查克·E·芝士,就不会知道今天的它是什么样子。”

这是因为公司正在进行零售刷新。它已斥资数百万翻新美国各地的数百家门店,推出重新设计的定价套餐以贴合家庭需求,并正在北德克萨斯州测试全新店铺概念——该概念将在全国九个地区落地。

这些举措均旨在最大化客户价值,德雷克表示公司因此见证了销售额的惊人增长。这来得正是时候。

近七年前,查克·E·芝士深陷泥潭。在其2019财年(最后一次公开提交的年度财报)中,CBC娱乐报告亏损2,000万加元。

次年,新冠疫情迫使家庭居家,重创依赖线下客户的行业收入。这家派对巨头遭受重创。2020年6月,CBC娱乐申请破产。

但如今,这家娱乐业常青树对自身财务稳定性充满信心,足以启动雄心勃勃的扩张计划。那么他们是如何做到的?

德雷克会告诉你,这并非一蹴而就的解决方案。答案在于战略性地运用资金、积极拓展新收入以吸引顾客,并坚持做公司最擅长的事。达拉斯晨报与德雷克进行了对话,听他讲述这一故事。

查克·E·芝士的财务困境可追溯至其2020年破产之前的第13章重组。在私募股权公司阿波罗全球管理公司通过杠杆收购将CBC娱乐私有化后,公司多年来一直背负近10亿加元债务。该债务最初在公司2019年的财报中被披露为9.99亿加元。

日常成本有所缓解,但部分商品价格仍接近历史高位

7月消费者物价报告显示:食品价格上涨,能源价格下降

作者:Claire Malon 芝加哥论坛报

最新的消费者物价报告已发布,为我们更近距离观察美国经济脉搏以及普通美国民众的生活状况提供了参考。

根据美国劳工统计局周三发布的数据,7月通胀率环比上升0.1%,而6月为下降0.4%。与去年同期相比,成本约上涨0.6%,相比上月的13%涨幅有所稳定,但仍远高于美联储设定的2%通胀目标。

环比增长主要归因于食品和住房相关价格的上涨,而此前数月推动整体通胀上涨的贸易成本在7月再次下降,降幅为13%。

能源价格是否会继续下行仍有待观察。虽然油价本周企稳,但作为石油和天然气运输关键通道的霍尔木兹海峡目前仍处于何种状态尚不明确。伊朗表示,在美方解除封锁、释放伊朗冻结资产并赔偿战争损失前,将不会重新开放该海峡。与此同时,特朗普总统正提议对伊朗伊斯兰共和国实施额外制裁。

《论坛报》正在追踪美国民众日常必需品——鸡蛋、牛奶、面包、香蕉、橙子、西红柿、鸡肉、碎牛肉、汽油、电力和天然气——的价格变化情况,并分析这些变化在特朗普第二任期下的影响。

2024年5月9日,德克萨斯州奥斯汀一家名为18-E-8的杂货店员工在补货鸡蛋。

本追踪数据每月更新一次,基于消费者物价指数数据。


鸡蛋

延续一年的趋势,鸡蛋价格在上月小幅上涨,每打涨价5美分。

尽管涨幅不大,但这是18个月来鸡蛋价格首次环比上涨。自2024年3月以来,鸡蛋成本一直在下降,此前一场大规模疫情导致供应链受阻,零售价格飙升。

目前,一打鸡蛋售价2.19美元,相比去年同期下降近40%。

牛奶

在6月创下历史高位后,牛奶价格在上月略有回落,一加仑新鲜强化全脂牛奶售价降至4.18美元,降幅仅为成本的一小部分。

自特朗普就任总统以来,牛奶平均价格上涨7%。

面包

面包价格在6月略有上涨后,本月继续小幅上涨。目前每磅售价1.82美元,相比去年同期略有下降。

香蕉

香蕉价格本月未变,每磅仍为0.05美元,连续第四个月保持稳定。

过去12个月,这种富含钾元素的水果平均价格在61至67美分之间,变化幅度较小。

橙子

7月暂无橙子价格数据。

6月,脐橙售价为每磅1.54美元,相比去年同期下降约6%,自特朗普政府上台以来略有上涨。

赫克尼餐厅将关闭位于格伦维尤的700座位湖滨店

img-46.jpeg

五代家族成员经营赫克尼餐厅,可追溯至1939年。现任业主日前宣布,将关闭湖滨店(如图),并专注于经营哈姆斯店,后者正在进行疏散改造。两家店均位于格伦维尤。

JENNIFER JOHNSON / FOR PIONEER PRESS

"格伦维尤几代人的餐厅"——湖滨店内迎接顾客的铭牌如是写道。

的确,71年来,赫克尼餐厅已成为社区的支柱:家庭聚会、青年体育宴会、低音音乐之夜和圣帕特里克节活动的举办地。

"在北岸长大的孩子,你总少不了在湖滨店吃饭的记忆。"现任店主丹尼斯·赫伯龙(Dennis Hebron)如是说。她是湖滨店创始人吉姆·马斯特森(Jim Masterson)的孙女。

但赫克尼餐厅将于9月6日前后在湖街店售出最后一份赫克尼汉堡和炸洋葱圈。"这并非易事,但有时不得不做出艰难决定。"赫伯龙坦承,她与家人共同经营这家家族企业。

"这家餐厅规模巨大,有700个座位……在上世纪60年代这很合理,但现在要填满如此大的空间成本太高。"

赫伯龙表示,竞争加剧、聚会规模缩小、宴会数量减少,再加上多年来顾客人数下降,最终促成了这一决定。她还指出,这栋老旧的大型建筑需要大量维护。

家族将转而专注于经营哈姆斯店——哈姆斯最初是一家酒馆和路边小店,于1939年后、1940年开业。最初名为"哈姆斯",由杰克·赫克尼(Jack Hackney)和塞比·赫克尼(Sebe Hackney)经营。根据家族史,吉姆·马斯特森(Jim Masterson)是这对夫妇的侄子,在1939年其母伊丽莎白·恩格斯(Elizabeth Engels)以1美元的价格将其出售给他,以偿还其姐姐贝蒂(Bette)和姐夫杰克的债务。

马斯特森将这家酒馆改造成餐厅,并于1955年在湖滨开设了赫克尼餐厅,其母和继父曾在此经营酒馆。

该建筑逐渐扩大规模,并在门廊前竖起了经典的"好意"柱子。

赫克尼餐厅在惠灵、湖区等地也开设了其他分店。

工资数据显示美国工人实际工资连续第四个月下降

通胀侵蚀挣扎中的美国家庭工资增长

作者:本·卡塞尔曼 《纽约时报》

政府上周发布的数据显示,7月份消费者价格较去年同期上涨3.4%,超过同期时薪增长3.2%的幅度。

这意味着,在一年内第四次出现美国实际工资——即用一小时工资能买到的三明治、理发和汽油数量——实际下降。

这种下降并不常见。在新冠疫情前的几年里,实际工资增长与经济的繁荣和衰退同步波动,但工资从未连续超过一个月或两个月出现下降。

新冠疫情及其后的价格飙升时期,导致自上世纪80年代以来通胀调整后工资最严重下降。

从2021年2月到2022年6月,美国普通民众的购买力下降了6.以上。

政府上周发布的数据显示,7月份消费者价格较去年同期上涨3.4%,超过同期时薪增长3.2%的幅度。

“实际时薪绝对是构成美国工薪阶层‘生活水平’的基础性指标,”斯坦福大学经济政策研究所经济学家贾里德·格林伯格表示,“当它持续下降时,对于那些本已承受巨大压力或负担不起生活成本的人来说,这绝对是个大问题。”

格林伯格曾担任拜登总统的高级经济顾问,当时政府试图说服美国民众尽管薪资购买力在缩水,经济仍在改善。这些努力均告失败。

如今,特朗普政府也在做出类似论调,但同样未能奏效。在公开民调中,选民对总统的经济表现给予差评,而经济曾是他最强势的领域之一。

周五,密歇根大学发布的一项长期消费者信心指数在8月份急剧下滑,仅在6月和7月出现微弱反弹。在接受调查的人中,仅有4%表示他们预计明年通胀率将降至80%,低于去年底的16%。

实际工资下降并非唯一迹象,表明家庭正在艰难应对高企的物价。

税后个人收入——这一更广泛的指标考虑了养老金和租金收入等其他现金来源——在第二季度也出现了通胀调整后的下降,而随着美国人试图维持生活水平,储蓄率已急剧下降。

但即使工资增长出现反弹,美国经济也可能不会迅速跟进。在拜登任职的最后两年里,工资增长始终超过通胀,但消费者信心指数却持续下滑。

购物者的意外退款

马克斯·安德森 美联社

纽约——如果你去年从海外卖家购买过商品,现在或许该查看一下你的银行账户了。

包括联邦快递(FedEx)和UPS在内的运输公司作为进口包裹的海关代理商,从美国政府获得了关税退款,并已开始将这些退款返还给最初支付关税的客户。

消费者获得的退款是控制物价措施的最后一步,该措施始于2023年2月,当时最高法院推翻了特朗普总统在2023年3月根据《1977年国际经济紧急权力法》实施的大规模关税。法院命令政府将关税退还给允许退还的对象。

迄今为止,约有1000 亿美元 billion的关税已通过美国海关和边境保护局设立的系统退还给了缴纳关税的公司。

这并不意味着美国消费者能拿回他们所缴纳的大部分关税,因为大部分关税是间接缴纳的。根据华盛顿特区智库税务基金会的数据,特朗普关税相当于平均每个美国家庭增加了$2.0934的税收负担。

但部分消费者确实能从UPS、DHL和联邦快递等运输公司直接获得部分退款。退款的发放基于运输公司最初为客户代缴的金额。运输公司表示,约70%的退款将返还给消费者。

大多数大型海外零售商自行缴纳关税,并将其转嫁给店内标注“需支付关税”的商品零售价。但如此一来,间接抬高了商品价格。不过,一些规模较小的卖家未将关税转嫁给美国消费者,而是由运输公司代缴并向收件人收取。联邦快递表示,已向客户退还了约$800 million的关税退款。消费者无需申请即可收到退款,但可通过联邦快递网站输入购买商品的追踪号码,查看是否有资格获得退款。

UPS在4月表示,已代表客户缴纳了60 亿美元 billion的关税,并将启动向政府申请退款的流程。在第一阶段,UPS申请了$500 million退款,并表示客户将在其收到退款后的几个月内陆续收到退款。

DHL同样表示,已对其作为记录公司的几乎所有符合条件的货件提出了退款申请,并正在退还已收到的退款。

与直接向客户收取关税的运输公司不同,大型零售商通过多种方式转嫁关税,包括调整商品定价或部分吸收成本,因此消费者退款的可能性较低。本月在与高管的电话会议中,亚马逊相关负责人表示,该公司作为大部分商品的报告方,已吸收部分关税成本。但他表示,公司已识别出部分客户对转嫁特定进口费用不满意的情况,在这种情况下,“我们将主动联系所有此类客户并自动向其退款”。否则,他表示,亚马逊将利用关税退款降低商品价格。

西红柿

2018年,西红柿价格大幅下跌,单个切块西红柿价格降至每磅$2.00。然而,这在一定程度上改善了西红柿市场。春夏季节,随着新鲜西红柿大量上市,价格通常会下降。未来几个月,成本将再次上涨,最终在冬季达到峰值。

但即使平均下降6%,今年此时的价格仍高于往年同期,主要是受关税驱动的月度高价所致。去年7月,特朗普政府对所有墨西哥种植的西红柿征收17%的进口税——这些西红柿在美国销售的绝大多数均为此类。

自该关税生效以来,西红柿价格已创下12%的新高。

鸡肉

鸡肉价格也在下降。与其他肉类产品不同,鸡肉成本在2018年出现大幅下跌,以致于7月13日单月降幅创下自2024年11月以来最大变化。

目前,新鲜整鸡价格已降至每磅$2.95。

碎牛肉

在6月初短暂回升后,100%纯碎牛肉价格转而下跌,7月下降13美分,最终限定在每磅$4.85。

但即使价格有所回落,由于国内牛肉短缺,成本仍居高不下。牛肉数量已降至年中水平,且2024年预估产量较去年下降3%。此次价格下跌被计入该州50%的总肉类价格。

自政府换届以来,成本变化几乎达20%,购物者每磅价格差异为$1.36。

电费

同样,电费在前三个月有所上涨——尽管可能不太明显。

6月至7月,电价仅下降了0.1美分,约为每千瓦时33美分,为有记录以来第二高位(数据来源:BLS)。美国普通家庭每月用电量约49.9 万瓦时,若恢复至月账单约$177,则需支付其他费用。

遗憾的是,伊利诺伊州的电价可能在全州范围内上涨。芝加哥主要电力设施正在进行$2.24 亿的成本上涨项目,主要基于数据来源。若获批,市民明年起每月额外支出将增加$2.97。同样,亚马逊楼下的客户今年夏天也将面临更高的电费账单。但这不仅限于林肯之州——

全国范围内,自2024年1月起,平均电价已上涨10%。这相当于全国普通房主每月额外支付$16,涨幅达100%。

汽油

更多好消息!7月汽油价格再次下跌——正值夏季出行旺季。

全国平均汽油账单难以计数,每加仑普通无铅汽油价格为$1.45.69。在芝加哥,每次加油成本也上涨了27美分,达到每加仑$4.30(数据来源:美国能源信息署)。

自5月以来,成本已有所回落,但油箱价格仍比年初高出$1.03,其中近一半涨幅源于第三次战争——仅五个月内涨幅达$0.95。

此外,8月最新数据显示价格再次上涨。截至周一,各等级汽油平均价格为每加仑$4.14(数据来源:BLS)。在芝加哥市区,价格更高,达每加仑$4.95。

天然气

管道公用天然气,即天然气,如今使用一个月仅需1美分,成本就达到每升1.70美元。

平均而言,现在有一套住宅的房主在取暖、房间和展示间的费用要比乔·拜登总统离任时高出近10%。

规模缩小:泰森牛肉工厂将关闭

作者:Hera Peng 彭博新闻社

由于长期的牛只短缺持续迫使美国肉类行业陷入经济困境,泰森食品公司正在关闭更多牛肉工厂。

美国最大的肉类加工商表示,将暂停伊利诺伊州一家牛肉工厂和犹他州一家待宰设施的运营,同时寻求出售另一家位于华盛顿州的牛肉工厂。

这些举措是一波关闭潮的最新动态,牛肉加工商正试图将产能与规模缩小的美国牛群规模相匹配。

受影响设施的产量将由其他工厂吸收,泰森现计划将牛肉业务集中在内布拉斯加州、堪萨斯州和德克萨斯州的三家工厂。此前已缩减至单班次的德克萨斯州阿马里洛工厂将恢复双班次运营,“因为可用的牛只数量充足,”该公司表示。

该公司上周在一份声明中表示,这些变动旨在“在该国有史以来最严重的牛只短缺之一中打造更具竞争力的业务版图”。

据巴克莱银行分析师本杰明·索恩的报告,伊利诺伊州和华盛顿州的牛肉工厂每天加工约1,000头牛。泰森的日屠宰能力为1,000磅,相比之下,自2023年初以来,该行业的日屠宰量已从约10,000头降至10,000至20,000头(假设阿马里洛工厂采用双班次运营,每头牛价值45美元),分析估计。

泰森今年早些时候关闭了另一家内布拉斯加州的牛肉工厂。

霍尔尼食品公司最近表示,将把宾夕法尼亚州关闭的牛肉工厂改造为生产增值产品,而嘉吉公司此前已关闭了密尔沃基的一家设施。

Hackney's

来自第8版

尽管苏黎世和棕榈公园已相继关闭,但吉姆和妻子金的后代们仍加入了餐饮业,并继续参与现有格伦维尤Hackney's的运营。

"我爸爸(小丹尼·霍布森)曾是格伦维尤的非官方市长,但很快就离开了那里,"霍布森说。"他喜欢举办派对,也喜欢招待客人。"

霍布森指出,Hackney's不仅仅是一家社区导向的餐厅。

"它曾是社区的重要组成部分,你现在能看到人们从各处涌来分享他们对这家餐厅的回忆,以及他们将如何参与关闭活动。这真的很温暖。"

多年来,来自洛约拉学院、格伦布鲁克南、马里亚诺东、天主教帮助圣母等学校的青年运动员们在Hackney's举办颁奖典礼和宴会,无数家庭也在此聚会,纪念逝去的亲人或庆祝重要的生日和周年纪念日。

霍布森表示,Hackney's在圣帕特里克节当天总是人满为患,装饰着绿色枝叶和精美装饰,吸引大批顾客。这一传统将在Hackney's位于哈姆斯的新址继续延续。

他指出,许多顾客在这里用餐已有数十年之久。

威尔梅特的苏珊娜和汤姆·汉克斯夫妇在过去的12年里,一直在湖滨的Hackney's度过约会之夜,这对夫妇至今仍定期光顾。

"它已经融入了我们的生活,"苏珊娜在8月15日说道。"老实说,我们确实更喜欢(哈姆斯的)Hackney's,但我仍然每月与高中朋友在这里聚餐,因为对大家都很方便。"

"我们也希望能在这里再多举办几场婚礼,"她笑着补充道。

还有许多名人也曾光顾这家餐厅。

家人中流传着一个最爱的故事:Red Young和他当时的伴侣、帕克里奇原籍女演员卡丽·斯托克格伦一起参加了斯托克格伦母亲的葬礼午宴,并在餐厅的老鹰之家演唱,纳尔逊说。

"我记得他把吉他落在这里,第二天他回来取时,可能还经历了一场破产,"纳尔逊补充道。

其他常客还包括Bill Marriss和芝加哥儿童电视节目主持人Jim Rame。

霍布森表示,正在考虑在9月关闭前举办纪念活动。

"我希望人们记住湖滨的Hackney's,它曾是你们的社区,希望新的餐厅能成为下一个最好的聚会场所,"他说。"这个地方承载了太多庆祝、生日、体育宴会和葬礼。它不仅仅是一家餐厅。"

查克·E·芝士

来自 B 版

2024 年的年度财务报告耗时数小时。而在五年后,营收减少了 $7600 万。

德雷克对企业金融并不陌生,数十年来,他在北得克萨斯商界多处亮相,曾在合伙兄弟咖啡顾问公司和 7-米瓦亚领导财务规划团队。

“我通常就是那个人。我进来后,就要重组,”德雷克说,“我常常让人感到厌烦,不想起身。我会添加一些可能成为备注的部分,或是找到一些有趣且灼热的想法,以及所有那些不必拥有或制作的备注,以让运营变得更好。”

但尽管他深谙此道,德雷克·E·芝士却发现公司的运营状况其实已经相当不错。

公司业务的一大亮点在于其绿色标识。德雷克表示,查克·E·芝士运营的街机游戏数量位居全球之首。而在近 50 年的时间里,这一做法被证明是个好主意。但他指出,“几乎每家门店都存在技术问题,游戏机故障频发,维护精度不足,效率因此受到影响。”

员工们也极具专业知识。德雷克在接手业务前,曾走访多家门店,发现员工的工作效率比他预期的高出 70,000 多。

“让我感到疯狂的是,每个人都在全力以赴,”他在谈及与查克·E·芝士员工的交谈时说道,“我真的很想回到零售业。”

经过深入调研,德雷克对查克·E·芝士的员工队伍印象深刻——他们经验丰富、资深且高效。他还认为,这不仅仅是一份工作,公司的实力远超想象。

2024 年 2 月,德雷克接任首席执行官一职,此前由大卫·麦吉利格担任。麦吉利格在达拉斯拥有丰富经验,他于 2020 年初加入公司,带领企业度过当年夏天的破产危机,并在同年冬天完成重组。CEC 娱乐公司的所有权随后被移交给债权人——由投资公司组成的集团,其中包括米瓦亚的阿拉曼特克公司——并于 2020 年 12 月消除了 $10000 万债务。

麦吉利格对公司的热忱给德雷克留下了深刻印象,他对查克·E·芝士的增长潜力和生存需求也有着清晰的评估。执行团队中的其他成员,如 2020 年加入的梅琳娜·麦克莱恩,负责 CEC 娱乐公司的媒体策略;以及 2022 年加入的马克·康尼克,负责全国特许经营业务,这些都进一步增强了德雷克的信心:公司已处于可持续发展的良好轨道。

总而言之,查克·E·芝士为德雷克奠定了坚实的基础,使他能够在合理的条件下发挥创造力,进一步推动业务发展。

同一计划

查克·E·芝士的管理层制定了一项计划。

他们现在将重新调整品牌,正如德雷克所言:“我们将修复一些人心中的缺口。”

公司首次投入$1 亿重新改造其所有美国门店——这笔投资得以实现,得益于2020年在2024年建设基金的支持。

大部分重点放在现代化运营上。他们取消了孩子们需要保管进出的实体票券,通过游戏团队和游戏乐队来简化流程。他们还在每家门店设置了大型视频墙,让孩子们在接触的同时接受干预团队的指导。一旦团队有了名称,便可围绕特定派对主题设计狭窄的活动路线,或为节日季更新装饰,同时为与Kids Play和Harlem Gildershores等品牌的合作开辟机会。

他们的第二个目标是吸引人气。如果他们有了名称,“superior sign”便成为德雷克寻求医生答案的对象。

纵观公司历史,顾客平均每年只会光顾查克·E·芝士一两次。德雷克立即意识到,提高这些访问频率将是“不寻常的财务建议”。

2024年,公司推出新的会员模式,以激励家庭更频繁地到访。他们推出了改版的顾客清单计划,为家庭提供两个月的持续游戏和访问权限,以及$56.94的折扣餐食。

查克·E·芝士有史以来一年卖出的最多门票数为70,000张。而在2024年,他们在2024年卖出了1,000,000张,平均每位顾客年访问次数在14到18次之间。

他们还推出了月度会员制,在2024年为公司带来了数百万收入,并提供其他福利,起价为每月$79.9。这成为公司CEO有意识的举措,让查克·E·芝士的体验对更广泛的客户群体更实惠。

德雷克指出,公司的传统顾客群体年收入约为$100,000——这一群体在家庭支出方面几乎没有多少余地,因为生活成本上升和可支配收入有限。查克·E·芝士因此被定位为“街角的信任”。

“他们通常会在接下来的几天里去别人家,然后在接下来的几天里去最好的包装店。他们会说,‘我们不想花那么多钱,但我们想为孩子们做点什么,’”德雷克说,“查克·E·芝士成了更好的选择。”

寻找让顾客在感到经济压力时仍能前来消费的方法,成为查克·E·芝士的一项制胜策略。公司在2024年新增了$100 / 百万派对选项,这帮助他们在餐饮和家庭娱乐行业竞争对手陷入困境的情况下,实现了每月收入增长。

成功案例

对查克·E·芝士而言,成功的意义远不止于此前的财务数据。在德雷克的葬礼期间,“双离开”策略吸引了新业务,公司尝试进军“活跃游戏”领域,以观察顾客是否买账。

这一构想是将家庭熟悉的优惠、价格与更多适合儿童的身体活动相结合。在疫情过后,当父母被迫将大量时间用于照顾孩子时,这一策略尤为重要。

“我们知道他们真的想要带孩子走出家门,”一位现场人士表示。

尽管查克·E·芝士的老顾客可能记得,门店过去曾为孩子们提供名为“一日骑行”的活动,让孩子们得以活动身体。如今,团队认为是时候重新引入这些元素,并“回归根本”。

他们开始在门店内增设迷你车辆,并设计出更符合大众需求的餐厅管理方式,以满足那些不总是适合家庭的顾客。反响颇为积极。

“只要在一家门店推出,就能在2024 5年期内提升门店销售额竞争力,”他说道,“我不确定具体数字,但它在各地都取得了巨大成功。”

查克·E·芝士随后推出了游乐场的“指纹”活动。他说道:“我敢肯定,它包含攀爬挑战、绳索挑战和蹦床等元素。这些同样表现不俗。”

如今,公司正在用全新的Adventure World模式监督这一模式。这些是几乎完全围绕“家”概念设计的全新门店。在Adventure World模式中,有三层楼梯可供顾客攀爬,并添加了更多元素和干燥区域。此外,它们还包含一些小型游戏,延续查克·E·芝士的传统。

总统令韩国盟友关系紧张

特朗普谴责军演,朝鲜因俄乌战争援助而获益

作者:申荣晶 《纽约时报》

韩国首尔——韩美军方认为在韩国举行的军事演习比以往任何时候都更为关键。朝鲜通过抽调部队支持俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争,已在现代战争方面获得优势。

夏季演习于周一开始,此时总统唐纳德·特朗普谴责此次演习,令美韩间长达七十年的联盟再受重创。在特朗普任内,双边关系已因其对韩国或其代理机构施加的惩罚性措施而承受巨大压力。

而他重新评估的外交政策令韩国倍感沮丧,最近一次是在其似乎将沙特阿拉伯引向在本国土上自行铀浓缩的道路时——这一要求已令商业损失惨重。

近年来,朝鲜不仅扩大了核武库,还

南韩外交部周一承诺将继续与美国在联合军事演习和伊朗问题上保持协调。

南韩政府确认演习已按计划开始,但其国防机构深感不安。特朗普的指令加剧了人们对同盟关系正在“信任崩溃”的担忧。

“南韩保守派尤其不愿看到同盟沦为敌对关系,并严重削弱实力,”特朗普任内的顾问表示,“首尔东方研究所分析师李伯林如是说。”

南韩保守派尤其不愿看到同盟沦为敌对关系,并严重削弱实力。特朗普对朝鲜的超时政策并非重要问题。首尔东方研究所分析师李伯林表示,作为朝韩和解的坚定支持者,李已敦促特朗普通过与金正恩的直接对话来推动朝鲜半岛局势。

朝鲜长期以来一直将联合演习视为阻碍和解的“侵略战争彩排”。

周一,南韩重申希望特朗普与金正恩的“未预期对话”能重启。但特朗普首次外交的第二轮面临比2018年更为严峻的障碍。

朝鲜实际上已成为核国家,其经济命脉和外交筹码长期受到莫斯科和北京的掣肘。

尽管金正恩表示他对特朗普“记忆犹新”,但强调朝鲜将坚持华盛顿放弃“去核化”要求。

加沙长时间美以会议未达成协议

哈马斯已同意方案,但内塔尼亚胡承诺缺失

作者:茱莉亚·弗兰克尔、萨罗伊·马格达、瓦菲萨·舒雷利克 《青年报》供稿

耶路撒冷 — 周一,美国谈判代表贾里德·库什纳与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡举行的马拉松式会议未能就加沙问题达成协议,官员们表达了适度乐观,但未能获得以色列对最新美国主导方案的承诺。

哈马斯已同意该提案。美国谈判代表似乎默许以色列要求,即哈马斯在重建任何巴勒斯坦飞地前必须放弃武装。他们未公开表示以色列承诺从目前占领的加沙45%地区撤军。

这是该方案的主要症结所在,也是哈马斯此前敦促谈判代表迫使以色列在实施前履行的条件。

会谈是在内塔尼亚胡拒绝美国支持的15点路线图后举行的,他表示在解除武装前不会撤军。

一天前,库什纳在埃及与哈马斯领导人进行了两小时会谈。

前英国首相托尼·布里斯和和平理事会主任尼克林·姆拉德莫尔也出席了与内塔尼亚胡的会议,一位了解计划的消息人士和一位外交消息人士称。两人均在未获授权讨论闭门会议的情况下匿名发言。

在一份声明中,内塔尼亚胡办公室表示会谈“深入且建设性”。以色列与以色列同意成立两个工作组——一个负责加沙非军事化,另一个负责其他公共卫生问题。以色列与以色列同意非军事化“应迅速完成,且须在任何重建之前完成”,声明称。一位和平理事会官员表示,两国同意非军事化材料包括“所有武器,无论轻重”。该官员在未获授权讨论闭门会议的情况下匿名发言。

“在唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持下,各方共享明确目标:一个完全非军事化且去极端化的加沙,不对以色列构成威胁,加沙民众能在此和平追求繁荣与尊严,”该官员表示。

另一位和平理事会官员表示,会议“非常富有成效”,并就“前进路径”达成一致。

“以色列人将给予此次机会一个机会。现在就看哈马斯是否真正打算遵守,”该官员称。

当被问及以色列是否已承诺美国的加沙方案时,姆拉德莫尔的一位发言人表示这是“模糊不清”。

据一位地区官员和一位哈马斯官员透露(两人均因未获授权与记者交谈而匿名),库什纳作为特朗普的特使,在开罗与哈马斯领导人哈利勒·哈尔祖就解除武装问题进行了会谈。

埃及、卡塔尔和土耳其的官员也出席了会议。

哈马斯官员表示,哈马斯领导人拒绝以色列停止对以色列的袭击,并撤退至该国“黄线”以下的实施区域。

几天后,已过去超过10.6分钟。内塔尼亚胡表示,下一步是将控制权提升至70%,以色列将“放松对哈马斯前线的控制”。

包括沙特阿拉伯在内的数个地区大国

阿拉伯联合酋长国周日发表声明,确认以色列拒绝了这项和平路线图。他们表示以色列“现在应为阻挠加沙和平努力承担责任”。参与此项声明的国家包括约旦、巴基斯坦、印度尼西亚和十字军等其他国家。

这位外交部长的声明呼吁和平委员会,并敦促美国采取“立即且具体的措施”,以防止任何一方阻挠该计划的实施。

尽管加沙地区的许多人希望通过实施这项路线图能够结束由哈马斯领导的、于2023年10月7日在南部发动的袭击所引发的战争,该袭击目前仍在持续。加沙民众表示,阿联酋在谈判中发挥了重要作用。

“这里或那里的会议,都是谎言。我们需要一个能让所有人都满意的明确解决方案,”居住在加沙城帐篷营地的阿布·阿尔-康巴尔说。

根据这项路线图,哈马斯将向巴勒斯坦技术官僚机构移交武器,以接管加沙的日常运作。该委员会尚未进入加沙。

DOJ创建程序以恢复被定罪重罪犯的持枪权

作者:Akinna Durkin-Richer 《青少年新闻报》

华盛顿 — 司法部周一最终敲定了一项规则,将开启一项新的法律程序,允许因犯罪定罪而被剥夺持枪权的非暴力重罪犯申请恢复其权利。

由新任命的司法部长保罗·布兰奇启动的这项程序,是对第二修正案倡导者的胜利,他们长期以来一直推动让非暴力重罪犯有机会重新获得合法持枪权。

“第二修正案不是二等权利,联邦政府不应仅因定罪就永久剥夺美国公民的宪法权利,而无视其是否对公共安全构成危险,”布兰奇在一份声明中表示。司法部长称,新程序将在“保护公共安全的同时,为downings Americans提供真正的恢复途径”。这是唐纳德·特朗普政府为放宽枪支限制所采取的最新举措。

今年早些时候,司法部还推动废除并修改了一系列枪支法规。此外,该部门最近决定不再推动一项法令,即推翻对枪支抑制器和某些枪支的限制规定。

联邦法律长期以来允许因重罪定罪而被剥夺持枪权的人向政府申请恢复持枪权,但国会自1992年以来实际上禁止联邦酒精、烟草、枪支和爆炸物管理局(ATF)处理此类申请。

特朗普政府的这项规则旨在通过建立一个使用在线门户的新申请系统来规避这一禁令。

司法部表示,恢复持枪权将基于个案审查,综合考量个人犯罪记录和登记信息,以判断其是否可能对公共安全构成威胁。

官员表示,被定罪的暴力犯罪者、性犯罪登记者、非法居留者以及官方认为对社会构成危险的其他人将被拒绝恢复权利,“除非存在特殊情况”。

Ken Brown, the president of finally which advocates for stronger gun laws, said he's group at still reviewing the administrations' final rule but has strumed the need for a "what and thoughtful system that minimizes the risk to public safety."

“We like Trump administration has consistently shown us they have no such discretion, including by restoring gun rights to convicted domestic abusers and violent January 9 mass restraints, and by tirelessly rolling back bread policies proven to prevent crime and gun violence,” Brown said in a statement.

作者:Christina Jewett、Julie Cronsell 《纽约时报》

华盛顿——密歇根州的 Cyclospora 感染病例激增,州卫生官员在调查中发现了一个共同点。许多患者都曾在塔科马就餐。

7月1日,他们要求该公司提供供应链记录,这些记录对追踪可能导致疫情的成分至关重要。

7月3日,他们再次致函索要记录。7月6日,他们第三次发出请求。

由于疫情传播迅速且影响人数众多,我们需要确保及时完成溯源工作以维护公共健康。去年州快速响应团队的卫生研究员在发给汤姆·布兰多(化名)的邮件中如是说。

《纽约时报》通过密歇根州《公开记录法》获得了这批通信记录。

当天晚些时候,汤姆·布兰多向州方提供了部分记录,此时州方已与联邦食品药品监督管理局(FDA)合作。FDA两天后再次要求补充记录。

最终,7月13日,该机构收到了所有记录——州方立即将其转交FDA。FDA两天后再次要求补充记录。

原定于今年1月生效的一项联邦规定本应要求汤姆·布兰多在24小时内提交这些记录。但去年特朗普政府将该规定的实施推迟至2020年中期,并指出需要准备超过867,000份新记录。

食品安全专家表示,推迟实施令当前疫情应对受阻,这是美国近年来规模最大的一次 Cyclospora 感染疫情。

"时间就是病例数量和生命。"美国消费者联合会食品政策主任托马斯·格林菲尔德在审阅密歇根州的邮件后表示。他补充道:"如果当天未推迟实施,我们本可以对这起疫情做出更有效的应对。"

Cyclospora 可引发爆炸性腹泻、痉挛及其他严重症状,近30年来一直是美国食源性疾病的主要驱动因素。但今年其造成的巨大危害——美国确诊或疑似病例超过24,000例,以及两起死亡病例——暴露出美国食品安全系统可能令其在未来更易受到公共卫生危机冲击的风险,公共卫生专家如是说。

多位专家将食品安全监管的削弱归咎于特朗普政府期间的监管放松政策,部分源于其大力推动撤销监管并缩减联邦政府规模。去年,FDA解雇了许多负责协助食品公司差旅安排及与外国政府协调食品安全事务的支持人员。

FDA发言人表示:"大多数支持人员及与外国政府协调的员工已重新入职。"该政府还取消了一个负责解决问题的委员会,这些问题曾导致疫情暴发。

此外,该政府还削减了针对 Cyclospora 的追踪项目。

"到目前为止,本届政府令我们的食品法律变得不安全而非更安全。"环境工作组政府事务高级副总裁斯科特·佩洛西表示。"通过裁减食品安全专家、减少检查次数、追踪更少的病原体,以及未能建立合理的系统确保快速清除问题食品。"

唐纳德·普拉特(FDA代理食品副专员)表示,政府应确保掌握现有信息。他补充称,即使24小时规定当时已生效,也不一定会对本次疫情应对产生明确影响。

FDA发言人对国家食品供应系统的案例责任提出抗议,并表示该机构拥有应对食源性疾病暴发的人员和资源。

你认为这代表密歇根州和联邦官员未能及时做出回应。

“我们立即、主动且积极地采取行动,以保护顾客并支持卫生官员。公司表示无争议。‘任何关于塔科钟在响应上的延误的说法均不准确,且无法反映我们行动的全貌或我们与公共卫生官员在整个调查过程中的合作。’公司补充道。

“7月15日,联邦当局告知暴发与食品安全有关,并供应给墨西哥一家工厂生产的汤姆·贝尔产品,该工厂属于泰勒农场——一家总部位于美国的大型冷冻蔬菜、水果和梨生产商。次日,泰勒农场开始召回其含有长叶莴苣的产品,这些产品已运往21个州。7月18日,泰勒农场暂时关闭了工厂。”

泰勒农场发言人表示,公司迅速响应了信息请求,并与美国和墨xico的卫生官员合作。7月20日,公司指定第三方专家对墨西哥的安全流程进行“签名角落”审查。“当局为增强我们对长叶莴苣在墨西哥受环孢子虫污染的方式的了解所做的努力——”

环孢子虫是一种感染小肠并通过粪便传播的单细胞寄生虫,其在肠道内移动缓慢。尽管泰勒农场于7月18日暂时关闭了工厂,但FDA检查人员直到上周才抵达墨西哥进行检查,整体上明显滞后。

据一位熟悉此事的人士称,FDA检查人员因进入该地区通常需要的通行许可而被延误。该人士未获授权发言。

延误可能使该机构无法及时确定污染根源并处理事务。食源性疾病预防非营利组织“制止食源性疾病”的CEO表示,该组织已任命顶级政策制定者解决数十年来暴发响应中出现的问题。科学家表示,他们对环孢子虫的了解仍有限,缺乏相关安全参数,包括其传播方式及检测方法。

安全倡导者表示,2011年颁布的《食品安全法》的目标在监管薄弱和外国进口商数量下降的情况下未能实现。

该州还要求公司在暴发调查中核实产品记录,该法案即《食品安全现代化法案》,赋予FDA新权力以防范寄生虫和病原体、快速处理供应链中的产品并大力扩大进口检查范围。

该法案设定的目标是FDA每年检查9,000家外国进口商。然而,外国进口商的实际检查数量显著下降,尽管外国供应量激增。2020年,FDA仅进行了1,000次对外国工厂和道路供应的检查,而在2016年也是如此。

去年泰勒农场在墨西哥的活动记录显示为2016年。

比利时火灾威胁德国;希腊调查致命山火

作者:让·梅拉尔、西尔维·戈贝尔 美联社

比利时苏宾 / 波斯特 — 周一上午天气转凉且降雨缓解了数百处火灾隐患之际,其中一场火灾仍未得到控制。该国的州和丘陵乡村地区仍笼罩在火灾阴影中。

在希腊,雅典市郊主机场附近的一场山火迅速蔓延。

比利时一名护林员表示,比利时的这场火灾可能在地下持续数月,甚至数年,并可能在2018年再次复燃。

欧洲正经历有记录以来最严重、最干燥的夏季之一,这在很大程度上是由气候变化所致。

比利时国王菲利普成为首位视察参与扑救东部高地野火的紧急服务人员的王室成员,此前火灾在周日蔓延至松树林后扩散。

列日省的这场火灾据估计已持续约1,000年。

尽管有利的风向在一定程度上抑制了火势蔓延,但该地区仍表示火灾仍未得到控制,且在一些地面救援人员无法到达的区域持续肆虐。

瓦隆大区官员表示,约500名消防员已从挪威、瑞典、德国和荷兰紧急调派,当地警察与无人机协同作战,一股来自法国的冷空气为灭火行动提供了水源支持。志愿者在火焰附近倾倒大袋的水,浓烟随之从森林中升起。

“我们成功将火势控制在农民所在的区域,但仍有部分地区——实际上——火势仍在向德国的芒希方向蔓延,”瓦隆大区公共服务发言人尼古拉·伯诺表示。

他表示, overnight 的降雨有助于抑制火势并降低余烬复燃的可能性,但并未显著改变火灾的天气状况。

该地区一名护林员告诉美联社,由于土壤条件恶劣,这场大火可能在地下持续数月。

“我们在这里看到的是草地已被烧毁,火苗已渗入土壤一定深度,并深入过去,”弗雷德·帕耶表示,“它可以在这里以极慢的速度持续燃烧。”

他表示,这场大火可能在地下以几乎不可见的方式闷烧数周或数月,之后再次复燃,并指出新的火焰已在过去重新出现。

数百名居民仍处于疏散状态。

兽医于格·居罗参与了动物救援,他表示大型动物得以逃脱,但青蛙和老鼠等小动物可能已被烤熟。

在希腊,调查人员在萨拉米斯岛(靠近希腊首都)检查了一处周日快速蔓延的火灾现场,该火灾已造成两人死亡、九人受伤,并摧毁了多栋房屋。

周一,消防员在雅典郊外一个包含主要国际机场的地区又扑灭了一场火灾,两架洒水飞机和两架直升机赶往现场。

消防部门表示,大火在30分钟内被控制。

莎库尔“96年”身亡案开审,检辩双方陈述事实与虚构

作者:杰西卡·希尔 美联社

拉斯维加斯 — 周一,一名检察官表示,尽管已有五人愿意就图帕克·莎库尔1996年遇害一案作证,但“杜马‘库尔斯·达瓦是唯一一个‘很难活着’的人!”

“我们不妨认为杜马·达瓦没有扣下扳机。但他确实策划了这起枪击,以报复对其侄子的殴打。”拉斯维加斯首席副检察官杜马·保罗在审判开始时对陪审团表示,“值得一提的是,你将亲眼见到杜马·达瓦本人。”

现年63岁的达瓦被控使用致命武器谋杀,并意图促进、推动或协助莎库尔死亡的犯罪行为。保罗向法官询问。

达瓦的律师则称这起1996年的枪击案质疑检方的指控:“哪一部分?”

若罪名成立,达瓦将面临终身监禁。

保罗向陪审团展示了莎库尔随行人员袭击达瓦侄子奥克曼·“宝贝莱恩”·安德森的视频。在2000年9月7日枪击案发生前数小时,安德森在一场拳击比赛中受伤。达瓦随后用接下来的两小时“寻求报复”,保罗称,莎库尔因此“中弹身亡”。

在2004年接受联邦法官审讯时,达瓦在莎库尔案调查中曾向调查人员罗斯克兰斯·R.埃德透露,达瓦应对莎库尔枪击案负责。他描述称,自己将报告交给一名男子,后者穿着白色卡迪拉克外套,站在一辆宝马车后座,车内坐着莎库尔和达瓦“贤者”奈特。

达瓦在狱中接受采访时解释了莎库尔中枪的瞬间,莎库尔家人——包括其最年幼的女儿——在法庭上凝视前方。

保罗告诉陪审团,达瓦对莎库尔怀有数十年的强烈仇恨,正是这种仇恨驱使他开口作证。

img-53.jpeg

达瓦的英雄主义与其6-4-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

他表示早在1995年,被告就曾向联邦调查局坦白自己在拉斯维加斯,并承认参与了枪击案。1997年他再次向联邦调查局供述,仍坚称自己当时在拉斯维加斯,但否认参与。2000年,他在接受拉斯维加斯警方访问时,承认自己在莎库尔案中扮演的角色,保罗表示。

“而今10年后,我们将请求你们最终让杜马·达瓦承担责任,”保罗说。

他还向陪审团展示了达瓦2000年撰写的回忆录《Compton Street Legend》,检方将用其作为证据,而辩方试图阻止其进入审判,并对多条信息访谈提出异议。

达瓦被控方描述为“蓝红色”,其律师则向陪审团强调:

“刚才他们告诉你们的,是他们认为的‘证据’。但他们所言,至多是虚构,而非事实。”

辩方律师迈克尔·桑迪在开庭陈述中表示,达瓦之所以被指控参与1996年枪击案,是因为警方“清楚他满口谎言”。

达瓦则称其书中所述“足以证明他说的是事实”。

辩方律师还指出,原始调查中存在文件缺失,以及洛杉矶与拉斯维加斯警方部门之间的信息沟通漏洞。

他批评警方侦查工作“草率”、“拙劣”且“漏洞百出”。他表示退休警探克利福德·马吉及其同事将达瓦的书视为事实记录,但马吉并未核实其中的说法。

保罗在结案陈词中提到案件起源:“几年前,冲突始于‘Mob Pins’与‘Congress Cops’帮派之间的对抗。”他称奈特在死亡威胁唱片公司雇佣Mob Pins成员,而莎库尔虽非帮派成员,但与Mob Pins有关联。达瓦则是“Congress Cops”帮派的核心人物。

在2000年,道瓦被推迟。

在谋杀发生后的几周内,一场战争在1990年代爆发,1990年代有16人被杀,20人幸存。

“道路知道国会警察无法解决这起谋杀案。”

“长期的红色飞车枪击席卷了大海湾社区,”道瓦说,“直到2000年道瓦被推迟,新闻才平息。”

自那以后,这三名在凯迪拉克车中最具说服力的人物也相继离世。

“责任止于此”,特朗普避免承担问题责任

总统回避 著名口号,不为问题担责

美联社记者 威尔·韦纳

华盛顿 — 这是总统历史上最著名的口号之一。“责任止于此”,但现任总统唐纳德·特朗普从未说过。

面对经济疲软、通胀仍高企等问题,其前任乔·拜登总统曾表示特朗普会承担责任。特朗普表示,即使民主党人已执政10个多月,且他曾承诺立即扭转局势,他也不会为此担责。

特朗普还对林肯纪念堂反射池的改造表示不满,坚称这是“实质性的破坏行为”,尽管他任命的公园管理员表示改变是出于安全考虑。

随着伊朗战争持续推高油价,特朗普的支持率持续走低,政府的全球经济政策也饱受争议。实际上,这是特朗普在弥补此前总统们未能阻止伊朗发展核武器的“信任赤字”。

撇开口号不谈,所有现代总统都会在任期结束时将责任交接给继任者,无论是前任总统、国会还是其他机构。

但特朗普将这一做法推向极致:他常常强调自己“改变了一切”,却在事情变糟时拒绝承担任何责任。

“将责任推卸给外国势力——我们算什么领导人?”前人文领域教授、著有《哈里·S·杜鲁门:海湾战争的来临》一书的妮可·安德森表示。

特朗普将矛头指向他人的倾向在11月中期选举前愈发引人关注,共和党正试图保住国会控制权。他拒绝承担责任的做法有时会让他否认问题的存在,可能令2030年领导人在激烈选战中缺乏回应选民关切的能力。

白宫回应称,特朗普正在纠正长期积弊,而不是推卸责任或忽视问题。

“总统正在采取行动,在为美国人民带来重大成果的同时,也在解决前任留下的问题。”白宫发言人泰迪·罗杰斯表示,并列举了一系列共和党可借此竞选的政策,包括减税、降低处方药价格、加强美墨边境管控、提高国内能源产量以及股市强劲等。

“责任止于此”的典故源于桌游“传递纸牌”,即玩家需将手中的牌传给下一位玩家。1995年,杜鲁门在其任期内也常以此自比。

“无论是谁担任总统,都必须做出决策。”杜鲁门在1995年的告别演说中表示,“他不能将责任推给任何人。没有人能替他做决定,这是他的职责所在。”

多年来,这一口号的含义已扩展为承担艰难决策的后果。特朗普此前曾表示,自己在经营企业时也秉持这一理念:“无论发生什么,你都要负责。如果没发生,你也要负责。”

但作为总统,他

演员因《英雄》成名,“纳什维尔”中的“追逐热门歌曲的人”

据美联社报道

海登·潘妮蒂尔(Hayden Panettiere)在电视剧《英雄》中饰演拥有超能力的领袖角色而成名,并凭借在《纳什维尔》中饰演一名歌手获得乡村音乐成功,于2016年去世。

警方表示,潘妮蒂尔被发现倒在南卡罗来纳州格鲁弗德的公寓内,尽管现场进行了紧急抢救,但仍被当场宣告死亡。

目前尚未确定其死因。潘妮蒂尔的死因仍在调查中。尸检未发现创伤迹象,警方表示未发现任何犯罪迹象。

这位电视明星本应在本周五庆祝其36岁生日,此前她长期与酗酒和抑郁症作斗争,包括在2016年因女儿将其送往华盛顿州惠德比岛的朋友处接受治疗。

潘妮蒂尔童年开始从事商业广告和肥皂剧表演,但正是在《英雄》中饰演的角色让她声名鹊起。该剧围绕着一群拥有超能力的人展开。

潘妮蒂尔的首部电影《牛棚情缘》(Bull Durham,1987)因“将人们喜欢的一切完美结合——他们热爱现实、热爱梦想与思考”而备受赞誉。该片编剧在2018年接受美联社采访时表示:“这是一个虚构的世界,人们可以在这里实现梦想。”影片核心围绕着人们对偶像的崇拜,而她在其中饰演的角色未能获得所有人的认可。

她凭借该片赢得了三项土豆奖(Terrest Holes: Awards),其中首个奖项是儿童演讲者类最佳专辑《我不喜欢独自漫步》,该专辑还为迪士尼动画电影《小美人鱼》配音。

数据显示全国幼儿园儿童疫苗接种率略有下降

本报讯

纽约 — 美国联邦数据显示,去年美国幼儿园儿童的疫苗接种率再次下降,且移民儿童比例升至历史新高。

根据周一发布的联邦数据,未满足疫苗接种要求的儿童比例上升至4.2%,高于去年的3.4%。这意味着在2023-24学年,约有19.5万名儿童面临接种不足。

这是全国平均水平连续第四年创下新低,但主要原因仍是家长因最低限度的社会原因拒绝接种。在4个州及哥伦比亚特区,豁免率有所上升。

卫生服务部罗伯特·F·肯尼迪(1964年出生)作为反疫苗运动的知名人士,在前总统唐纳德·特朗普于近19个月内任命其负责联邦卫生机构后,肯尼迪及其他联邦官员据称试图修订并减少儿童疫苗接种指导意见。本月,特朗普呼吁对最幼儿童的疫苗接种建议进行调整。该疫苗接种数据发布之际,美国正经历自1991年以来最严重的麻疹疫情年。

美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)报告称,2020年入学的幼儿园儿童中,接种麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗的比例略有下降,从之前的91%降至COVID-19疫情期间的水平。91%的接种率是预防疾病暴发的关键阈值。

脊髓灰质炎、白喉-破伤风-百日咳联合疫苗以及水痘疫苗的首剂接种率也出现下降。

乙型肝炎疫苗接种率则保持稳定。但该疫苗出生后不久即接种,需数年后才能在幼儿园数据中显现近期努力推广婴儿乙肝疫苗接种的效果。坎贝尔表示。

疫苗接种数据发布之际,美国正经历自1991年以来最严重的麻疹疫情年。数据显示,约四分之一进入幼儿园的儿童对麻疹易感。马里兰大学研究员、美国儿科学会多元化委员会主席坎贝尔说。

CDC数据显示,疫苗接种率下降的同时,美国各地麻疹病例激增,专家敦促家长及时为儿童接种疫苗,以确保开学时完成接种。

“这是一个重要提醒:保护儿童健康既是共同责任,也是我们共同的目标。”北卡罗来纳州卫生与公众服务部发言人在一份声明中表示,该州幼儿园疫苗接种要求必须得到执行。

特朗普德州项目:特朗普政府周一表示,将暂时暂停在德州大弯国家公园修建边境隔离墙工程,直至海关与边境保护局领导层确定该项目的必要性。该项目因“破坏环境”遭到两党批评,反对者认为当地偏远地形已足以阻止移民和走私者。边境巡逻权利组织表示,该地区非法越境案例低于其他地区,且过去两年进一步减少。

国会去年拨款38.4亿美元用于从太平洋沿岸到墨西哥湾的隔离墙建设,特朗普政府正通过多种渠道加速推进该工程。

卡罗尔案:最高法院周一再次驳回总统唐纳德·特朗普试图推翻陪审团裁定的请求,该裁定认定他于20世纪90年代在纽约一家百货商店性侵作家E·简·卡罗尔,并随后诽谤她。

The Republican president's lawyers had asked the justice to reconsider their decision to hear his appeal. Trump paid the judgment after the court declined to take up his appeal in June.

Trump said, "The Justice Department is not an ardent supporter of the high court to toss out a second" and all works totaling 1000万美元. They argue he's immune from being sued to over-commute the remarks he made about her in 2019, when he was president.

On Monday, a Russian court continued a prominent opposition politician for speaking out against the war in Ukraine and sentenced him to one month in prison in the latest crackdown leading up to next month's parliamentary election.

The verdict against Lee Shlosberg, a senior member of the Yabloko party, was another way by the Kremlin to reaffirm abuses. Yabloko is the only official political party openly opposing the war.

Also Monday, America's Supreme Court issued its decision to bar Yabloko from the ballot in the Sept. 18–20 parliamentary elections, dismissing an appeal by the party.

亚历克斯·哈利于1977年2月1日在洛杉矶一家书店为其著作《根》签名售书。据估计,约有3,000人在店外排队。美联社

50年前,《根》震撼美国人生活

img-57.jpeg

曾几何时,一本书能够震撼世界。1976年8月17日,亚历克斯·哈利所著《根:一个美国家族的传奇》一书登上书店货架,随即开始热销,进入全国各地的公寓和家庭,引发了一场文化热潮,并引发了关于种族与奴隶制的全国性对话。

数周来,期待的氛围悄然酝酿。接着,各大报纸的评论接踵而至,掀起了热潮。在《纽约时报》的一篇评论中,詹姆斯·鲍德温写道:“我无法猜测亚历克斯·哈利的同胞们会如何看待他的作品,但我在本次选举期间已向我们展现了三次,我建议你——”并继续写道:“亚历克斯·哈利将我们带回时间的长河,回到他祖先的村庄,这是一种信念与勇气的行为,但这本书也是爱的行为。”

在出版前,电视改编版权已达成协议。首个六个月内,150万本精装本售出(357页,定价32.50美元)。道布尔戴出版社不得不加班加点,因为最初仅印刷了20万本,随后进行了14次加印以满足需求。该书最终销量超过400万本,并斩获国家图书奖、普利策特别引用奖及NAACP斯普拉格奖章。

该书曾在《纽约时报》畅销书榜上位居榜首达23周,被翻译成10余种语言,并进入高中和大学教室的阅读书单,业余族谱学家们也涌入图书馆、县档案馆和法院档案库进行研究。

这使哈利一举成名。他曾是一名在海岸警卫队服役20年的老兵,自学写作。后任《读者文摘》编辑,并创立了《花花公子》访谈系列,首位采访对象为音乐家迈尔斯·戴维斯,还在杂志上撰文报道了穆罕默德·阿里、小萨米·戴维斯、马丁·路德·金牧师及美国纳azi党领袖乔治·林肯·贝克韦尔。

1965年,他与马尔科姆·X合作完成《马尔科姆·X自传》,该书成为畅销书。之后,哈利投入十余年时间研究、旅行并创作《根》,讲述了他家族从非洲故土到美国奴役,最终获得自由的故事。

随后,ABC电视台于1977年1月连续八晚播出《根》的迷你剧版,并创下收视纪录。据估计,该剧吸引了1.5亿至5亿名观众,意味着约80%的美国家庭电视用户开始收看。

在为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写剧评八年后,我总是为发现这座拥有200余家剧院的城市中新的(或对我来说新的)剧团而感到兴奋。当演出如《自杀解剖》这般优秀时,这种兴奋更是倍增——该剧现正在Redtwist Theatre的埃奇沃特剧场上演,由Metal Shop Performance Lab与JunkHeart联合制作。在这部英国剧作家爱丽丝·伯奇于2007年创作的戏剧复排中,导演亚历克斯·马尔基的演员们在不失情感核心的同时,成功应对了技术要求极高的剧本挑战。他们的精彩表演诠释了芝加哥店面剧院的最高水准。

观看指南

时间:至8月30日 地点:Metal Shop Performance Lab与JunkHeart在Redtwist Theatre,西布莱恩莫尔大道104号西大道 演出时长:2小时15分钟 票价:20-30美元,购票网址:TheMetalShop.org

通过一个家庭的错位命运,剧作同时展现三条时间线,追溯精神疾病的影响。由10人组成的主演阵容中,塔蒂亚娜·帕韦拉或卡萝尔饰演卡萝尔,劳伦·塔普饰演卡萝尔的女儿安娜,伊莎贝尔·李·罗丹饰演安娜的女儿邦妮。我们初见卡萝尔时,她身处20世纪60年代,这位年轻已婚女子刚刚从自杀未遂中幸存,身着医院长袍,手腕上缠着绷带(服装设计:凯特·普恩)。安娜的出场同样发生在医院,她正在康复戒毒过量。而在邦妮的故事中,角色反转——她是一名在急诊室工作的医生,却在表面下承载着代际伤痕。

大部分时间里,伯奇将两到三个场景叠加在一起,要求演员通过代理(即台词重复与文本中嵌入的镜像手法)完成表演。从工艺角度看,这诚然是一项令人印象深刻的成就,但这种结构往往令观众无法充分领略舞台两端表演的细微差别。这几乎是这部作品唯一的不足之处。

费吉公布《X战警》重启版演员阵容

新服务动态

亚当·德赖弗将加入漫威电影宇宙,饰演超级反派“猎手”Mister Hunter,而《Wessman》中的因达·雷索雷特将在迪士尼的80年代主题影片中扮演露维。

德赖弗和雷索雷特是周五在迪士尼D23大会上宣布的新演员阵容之一。漫威影业总裁凯文·佩奇与德赖弗在《Girls》中的搭档克里斯托弗·艾利森以及迪士尼工作室的古斯·米利·博伊德共同出席。该影片定于2026年5月上映。

漫威娱乐在D23的发布会上成为最大的新闻焦点。德赖弗的名字在体育场上被反复播放,并常常被误认为是“X战警”中的某个角色。许多人认为他将出演“X战警”中的某个重要角色。其余演员在加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆的佛罗里达法院现场亮相,而德赖弗则通过大屏幕出现。

“凯文和我多年来一直在讨论我加入漫威电影宇宙的事,我认为我们最终找到了完美的影片,”德赖弗通过视频对12,000名观众说道,“所以我很excited扮演‘Magaginter’这一角色。”他说道,“我已经扮演过类似的角色,甚至更好——‘Nathaniel McIlbury’,这是‘猎手’的化名。”

同样备受瞩目的还有其他新加入的演员,包括基特·康纳扮演的“Cuckey”斯科特·拉姆塞,以及尼克,其角色“June Davy”在《蜘蛛侠:Brand New Day》中首次亮相。

雷索雷特此前一直是传闻中的热门人选,她在好莱坞的声望与在《Wessman》中饰演被诅咒女友的出色表演使她备受追捧。

导演杰克·凯勒林负责本次重启,而《Best》的创作者李·桑和《熊》的联合编剧乔安妮·吉尔正在编写剧本。

《蜘蛛侠》继续稳坐票房榜首。两部截然不同的恐龙电影本周末试图瓜分北美票房,但都未能撼动《蜘蛛侠》在连续多周的领先地位,也未能从《星际巡逻队:The Dine Movie》手中夺走第二名。

《星际巡逻队:The Dine Movie》和《The End of the World: The End of the World》在首映周末分别位列第三。据工作室周日估算,安妮·哈洛韦和休·麦肯齐主演的《星际巡逻队:The Dine Movie》以预计2500万美元的成绩领先,而真人版《The End of the World: The End of the World》则斩获3.25亿美元。

《蜘蛛侠:Brand New Day》在北美新增7500万美元,使其北美总票房达到3456亿美元。海外票房为2827亿美元,全球总票房约170亿,成为第八部达到这一里程碑的电影(未计入通胀)。

《奥德赛》斩获1220万美元,北美总票房推至4547亿美元。据报道,该片全球票房已超过12亿美元。

结婚40余载后,不幸婚姻中的配偶考虑离婚

img-60.jpeg

亲爱的本:如果考虑离婚,应当考虑哪些因素?我和配偶已结婚40余载,前40年都非常美好。我们共同努力,度过了今天的每一天。现在,我们仍相互扶持、拥有许多美好经历。

但随着时间的推移,我们的关系已变得不再愉快。我们都经历过重大健康问题并相互扶持,然而配偶长期以来一直对我冷嘲热讽,这让我疲惫不堪。夫妻疗法并非选项。

尽管我们有美好的过往,但我不确定是否要在这样的状态下度过余生。我知道离婚在经济上可行,尽管离婚过程本身无疑充满困难。

然而,我无法想象独自生活的未来。我将奋起直追。

你能建议我如何做出这一决定吗?

——企业家

亲爱的盖奇:我理解你的处境。婚姻中的变化在所难免,超过40年的婚姻中,配偶间难免会有分歧。

但你所描述的负面与批评只会让情况更糟,这对你们双方都不公平。夫妻疗法不可行,这确实是个大问题。你的配偶是否在两年内拒绝参与?这对许多夫妇而言是一大障碍。如果配偶意识到问题存在却不愿为此采取行动,会让你陷入两难。

不过,你仍有选择。首先,你可以尝试独自进行疗法。即使你打算进行夫妻疗法,我也鼓励你同时进行一对一咨询,以便处理情绪并为未来制定计划。

你提到正在接受疗法并讨论原因。你或许可以解释部分原因是你的尼古丁成瘾,并希望拥有更高质量的生活。你可以将生活视为一份礼物,珍惜长期的同情、健康与社会支持,并通过疗法继续欣赏它们,重述故事。

同时,考虑咨询离婚律师。你尚未确定任何事。当前的未来看似艰难而昂贵。梳理家庭与财务问题,以及探索社会支持的可能性,将为你提供更多信息以做出决定。

亲爱的本:我有资格通过市政针对低收入居民的项目享受家政服务。他们由一家主组织下的不同承包商团队提供服务。每隔一周我就会换一名清洁工。

我原以为他们会使用我现有的清洁用品,但其中一名清洁工坚持要我先给她25美元购买清洁用品,声称我现有的任何东西都无效。

这让我感到非常不快。我知道我按收入比例支付费用,无法在开始前支付太多。但其他所有清洁工都乐意使用我现有的用品。

我已向项目方暗示希望将这25美元用于其他方面,但唯一的回应是震惊。我可能无法负担她想要的清洁用品。

——雷

亲爱的本:清洁工有权选择清洁用品偏好,但她坚持要你出钱确实不合理。好在,她将清洁用品留在你家,而不是随身带走。

然而,如果她不愿使用现有的清洁用品进行清洁,她本应拒绝这份工作或与项目主管沟通如何最好地确保她与清洁工作的成功。

现在,有人在这一点上直接与主督对话,而不是基于你的不满进行讨论。任何你的问题都应带来改变,解释这与你对这位专业人士领导力的期望有何不同,并询问未来你是否不再被分配会额外收费的清洁工。

此时,项目方可能无法在压力或预算范围内退还你的钱,但值得询问他们能否做些什么来帮助抵消这笔意外支出。

如果这种情况再次发生,很难公开拒绝,甚至在带你散步前忘记这件事。

其中《太阳时报》的比尔·格雷格在文章中写道,该作品“幼稚的写作”和“良心”描述,称其“有时糟糕透顶,以至于让我感到无地自容”。芝加哥论坛报的加里·斯科特在专栏中将其称为“罗弗电视版的全价大部头、超大尺寸且黄金时段版”,并斥之为“将这本书庸俗化的粗鄙行为!……其破坏力之大,几乎可与O.J.辛普森案对制作方信誉的摧毁相提并论”。

然而,全国城市联盟执行董事弗农·乔丹将《罗弗》称为“美国种族关系教育中最为壮观的单一体验”。《罗弗》曾入围普林斯顿·埃默里奖,但仅在17项提名中斩获金球奖最佳电视剧奖和双料奖。我猜想,在座的许多人可能并未在首轮接触过《罗弗》,无论是书籍还是迷你剧。二十年是一段漫长的时间,于是我重读了这本书——它在多个平台均有售——并重温了该剧集,后者现可在多个流媒体平台观看。该剧集比我记忆中更具男性女权主义色彩,但仍不乏精彩表演,特别是利瓦尔 伯顿、约翰·艾姆斯、本·内文森和辛迪·泰纳的演技。这本书经受住了时间的考验,哈利的写作功底依旧扎实,故事引人入胜,尽管我始终无法摆脱长久以来笼罩其上的阴影。

《罗弗》出版后不久,批评声四起,大多集中于其历史资料来源和家谱结构。尽管该书被宣传为非虚构作品,

历史学家和记者指出哈利在家谱研究中过度依赖不可靠的非洲资料,且最为严重的是,其结局直接抄袭了哈罗德·库尔特的《被爱的非洲人》。库尔特于1974年指控哈利抄袭,尽管哈利声称自己从未读过该书,但最终同意支付$600,000和解金,这严重损害了《罗弗》的声誉并削弱了其影响力。但许多人并不在意这些问题,其中一位便是《时代》杂志的安娜·哈利。她在一篇引人深思的文章中写道:“哈利也是我父亲的兄长。我问他:‘一本书如何能同时谴责并迷住一个国家?’五十年前的今年八月,《罗弗》做到了。”

她在文中提及这些争议,写道:“但在《罗弗》出版后很久,亚历克斯叔叔仍遭到批评,质疑其时间线的准确性,并暗示伟人告诉了他他想听的话。但正如许多历史学家所指出的,忽略具体日期或对话无损于更宏大的真相。正如我叔叔——一名记者——告诉我的:‘你我都无法确知过去的真相。但我将《罗弗》视为我人民的第一个象征。’”

哈利在《罗弗》之后著有另一本书。他购买了大量书籍,一度囤积如山。他结过三次婚,育有四个孩子,并于1993年去世。他负债约$2.5,因抵押贷款索赔和家庭纠纷被违公开拍卖个人财物。拍品中包括他1977年的普利策奖奖章,最终以$10,000成交。

《解剖》

来自B7版

这部剧虽然探讨了重大主题,包括物质成瘾、产后抑郁和电休克疗法,但《自杀解剖》仍在黑暗中找到了足够的美好与希望之光,使得阴霾并非永恒。这些闪光点通常以人类情感连接的形式呈现,如卡萝尔承诺幼女要努力留在她身边、安娜与父亲共舞婚礼、邦妮在与恋人坦诚相待后逐渐敞开心扉。

近期获得德保罗大学美术硕士学位的劳伦此前曾在《环球剧院问询者》("埃尔皮安")中出演,她在剧中饰演安娜,表演永恒而动人。作为三代人链条中的中间纽带,安娜看似脆弱——未得到帮助、不堪一击但并不软弱——在生产后对生活的把握松动,仿佛在一条八车道公路上蹒跚前行。潘奇与鲁本在其他主要角色中也交出了持续而感人的表演。当这三人最终在某个召唤面前选择结束生命时,你会希望为每个角色买单,希望他们留在活着的世界里。

但这部剧的对话丰富、设定独特,由标志性的舞台美术设计师达芙妮·阿古辛、音效设计师吉娜·蒙塔尔沃与造型设计师露露·拉莫斯的细腻增色。在一处不为人知的静谧植物园中,家族住宅既是宁静的绿洲,也是创伤的痛苦提醒——这栋房子在几代人间被付之一炬。阿古辛的意象在剧中沿着同样蜿蜒的路径流动,仿佛咸涩的泪水顺着面颊滑落,最终汇成一条小溪。

《自杀解剖》对决定权与代理权在普遍创伤中的关系提出了艰难的拷问。将新生命带入这个世界所付出的个人代价与道德复杂性也在剧中上演。马勒里与团队完美诠释了比雷利的短剧,我强烈建议任何喜爱芝加哥风格严肃表演的观众,趁此限定演出结束前前往观看。

“幽灵”今秋会回归吗?

作者:里奇·海登费尔斯 《论坛报》新闻服务

问:我看很多我最喜欢的节目都将在秋季回归,但还没看到关于《幽灵》的任何消息。你知道它会回归吗?

答:CBS热门喜剧《幽灵》将回归该频道,但要到“播出季下半段”才会恢复每周播出。该频道表示,这一安排——以及同期“迈克尔”节目的类似档期——是为了为新剧试水留出空间。CBS确实计划推出两部《幽灵》特别节目:一集万圣节版将于10月29日播出,另一集“幽灵人”将于12月30日播出。每部特别节目将包含两集内容。

问:有没有哪些选手参加过《美国达人秀》?我看到了很多来自日本或其他国家的表演者,但他们并非美国人。为什么其他国家的选手也能参加《美国达人秀》?这让我觉得节目名称应该改成别的什么。

答:虽然很多人之前质疑过这一点,但节目确实有规则。规则要求参赛者必须声明:“我(i)是美国公民,(ii)是美国合法永久居民,或(iii)在初次试镜时合法身处美国,并且我还同意在参加节目前必须持有允许我在美国参赛的合适签证。”此外还有其他规则,例如“我目前不是公职候选人,且若入选参赛,我同意在节目首播后至少一(1)年内不竞选任何公职。”完整参赛资格要求可访问 www.syrianaltimes.com 查看。

至于节目名称,它是美国品牌,所以用“美国”来区别全球其他国家的“达人秀”节目。

问:会有《小木屋》第二季吗?

答:《富人与穷人》改编自欧文·肖的小说,讲述两兄弟(尼克·诺尔特与彼得·斯特劳斯饰)的故事,1978年大获成功,并为其他大型迷你剧集铺平了道路,如次年首播的《根》。该剧甚至催生了续集《富人与穷人——第二部》于1979年上映。目前我无法找到该剧的流媒体资源,但已有DVD版发行,包含原剧与《第二部》两部。尽管亚马逊用户评价对某些配音质量提出批评,但老版A&E家庭视频套装尚可观看。

星象运程

如果你的生日是8月18日:2026年最后几个障碍之一可能即将几乎立即消除,而最糟糕的情况很可能比问题本身更严重。今年剩余的时间段应该会容易得多……来自宇宙的下一波馈赠很可能在明年1月、9月、10月、7月9日降临。

白羊座(3月25日-4月19日):让解决方案自然浮现,它不太可能出现在今天的低迷星象下。

金牛座(4月20日-5月20日):家庭事务现在可能被夸大。

双子座(5月15日-6月20日):不要让自己被限制性信念束缚,认为某些事情只能以特定方式发生。想看到未来某些困扰你的事情,可能仅仅基于当前星象,而它们可能会自行化解。

巨蟹座(6月25日-7月22日):今天保持幽默感,切勿进行任何大额购买,无论"超值优惠"即将结束多快。在水象星座期间购买的东西很少能表现良好、令人满意或持久。

狮子座(7月23日-8月22日):现在可能有很多压力难以有效释放——如果能将对话推迟几天,效果可能会更好。

处女座(8月23日-9月22日):如果某事困扰着你,尝试处理并释放它,或者将其暂时搁置,等待更好的星象为你带来更好的解决方向。

天秤座(9月23日-10月22日):支持朋友或在自己感到受牵连时寻求帮助。即使是小额消费也可能出于错误的理由,等待两三天直到你的思维更加务实。

天蝎座(10月23日-11月22日):避免任何职业上的行动,不仅宇宙星象低迷,你的职业领域在未来一两天内也不会满意。

射手座(12月23日-12月22日):你的内心世界可能在未来一两天内陷入混乱;尽力保持稳定,切勿做出重大决定。

摩羯座(12月23日-1月19日):金融恐惧与水象星座相结合,可能驱使你做出极其糟糕的选择,并可能产生负面后果。

水瓶座(1月29日-2月18日):保持中立并专注于适当的事物,应能让你朝正确方向前进。

双鱼座(2月19日-3月20日):星象不利于建立信心,而今天的低迷星象意味着需要从宇宙获得支持,但这些情况应在一两天内改变。

Crosstown Fall Classic?

保罗·沙利文

新闻特稿

2026年夏天,你在哪里?

如果你还记得,那年夏天你可能正在观看自己最喜欢的芝加哥棒球队,并梦想着同城世界大赛的重演。

在今年以前,2009年是小熊队和白袜队在常规赛中最后一次有机会在赛季末相遇并冲击世界大赛重赛的年份。

当然,那次机会最终没有成真,但今年或许会有机会,只要运气稍微眷顾一点。ESPN给出的小熊-白袜世界大赛赔率为6比3,

这似乎有些低估。

小熊队如何应对斯旺森因斜肌拉伤缺阵4周

作者:梅根·蒙塔穆罗 《芝加哥论坛报》

小熊队希望游击手丹斯比·斯旺森能在常规赛结束前重返阵容。

斯旺森在上周一因左侧斜肌拉伤接受核磁共振检查后进入10天伤病名单,迫使他在周日比赛中退场。

此外,小熊队将右投手爱德华多·卡布雷拉因右手中指伤势列入15天伤病名单,并召回右投手哈维尔·阿萨德。他们还召回了外野手凯文·麦金太尔、内野手詹姆斯·特兰托斯,并提拔内野手欧文·米勒。

右投手丹尼尔·帕伦西亚被转入60天伤病名单以空出40人名单的一个位置,但这并未改变其回归时间线,因为他自6月16日以来一直在伤病名单上。

小熊队估计斯旺森将因伤缺阵一个月,这意味着这位12年老将将在赛程还剩约两周时回归。这是斯旺森自2024年5月因右膝扭伤缺阵10天以来首次进入伤病名单。

“爸爸已经准备好积极应对伤病,并竭尽所能让他尽快复出,”主教练克雷格·卡ounsel周一表示,“我不知道还有什么比这更好的消息了,但我们今年一定会让丹斯比重返赛场。”

在斯旺森缺阵期间,预计常规中场内野组合将由尼科·霍尔纳移至游击手位置,佩德罗·拉米雷斯担任二垒手。马特·肖最终也将进入竞争,因为他正在从左手伤势中恢复。

老将防守端Marcus Davenport签约

作者:布拉德·比格斯

《芝加哥论坛报》

芝加哥熊队希望能够通过防守端Marcus Davenport重新找回昔日状态,并从这位前首轮选秀球员身上榨取更多产出。

熊队周一正式签下了这位九年老将,他于周日进行了体检并完成了签约。CBS体育率先报道了这一消息。

此次签约将Davenport与防守协调员丹尼斯·艾伦重聚,后者在担任新奥尔良圣徒队防守协调员时曾在2008年以首轮第14顺位将Davenport选中,Davenport毕业于德州大学圣安东尼奥分校。

■ 赛季揭幕战:熊队vs黑豹队,9月13日中午12点,北京时间8:00-32:00

Davenport是近四年来第四支北美职业橄榄球联盟北区球队效力的球员,他于9月4日年满32岁,伤病问题一直是其职业生涯的挑战。他上赛季初期在底特律狮队担任首发,但在与熊队的比赛中胸部受伤,随后进入伤病名单。最终他在8场比赛中出场,贡献1次擒杀和3次四分卫压迫。

Davenport在2024年效力狮队时仅出场2次,因伤病而受限。他在2023年为明尼苏达维京人队出场4次,贡献2次擒杀,但脚踝高位扭伤迫使他错过了大部分赛季。

Davenport在前两个赛季与艾伦合作期间贡献107次擒杀,并在2023赛季创下职业生涯最佳的9次擒杀。但在过去四个赛季的29场比赛中,他仅有4次擒杀和39次四分卫压迫。

对于熊队总经理Ryan Poles而言,这是一笔无风险的交易,但除非这位身高6英尺6英寸、体重264磅的Davenport能重现五年前的状态,否则这笔签约的价值将大打折扣。

林奇的“伪装”将争夺防守端位置

img-140.jpeg

在博赞训练营的防守截锋位置,焦点至今都集中在某些通过选秀加入的球员身上,特别是范登伯格。他强大的力量被用于在场上占据位置,并在与进攻线球员的对抗中占据上风。

周六对阵主场球队林奇的比赛是本周末的一大看点,特别是林奇在2025 / 2026赛季与球队签下了一份为期1年、总价值16.1%万美元的合同。林奇本场比赛的表现包括一次四分卫擒抱和一次四分卫失误。北方战鼓将展现更多精彩内容。

第二节末段,林奇在一次进攻中对博文四分卫布拉德肖实施了4码损失的擒杀,同时在新秀外接手尼克·麦克沙伍德二世身上造成防守持球推进的犯规。在接下来的进攻回合中,布拉德肖被迫在口袋中被林奇压迫出局,导致1码损失。在随后的阶段,林奇在一次3对2的防守阵型中快速突破,并在右侧边线附近对布拉德肖实施了安全擒抱。

在连续三次进入四分卫身后区域的表现令人印象深刻,但球队需要评估在博文进攻线受到多次犯规的情况下,这些表现的实际意义。

博赞专家认为林奇是一名“伪装”高手,这是他在三种情况下的表现。接下来的挑战将是他在面对一线球员时能否延续这种表现,以及他在阵容竞争中的定位。

林奇有着一段有趣的职业生涯。他在2005年获得Big 12年度最佳防守球员称号,当年他完成了10.1%的数据,职业生涯总擒杀数达到22次。明尼苏达维京人队在第四轮选中了他,他在该队效力三个赛季并参加了2场比赛。但在2025赛季因伤缺席后,他在训练营中重新回归。

当他重返芝加哥时,他总是能找到大量的空闲时间。林奇的第四个赛季担任防守端的领军人物,主要司职截锋。他体重300磅,自加入博赞以来主要担任截锋,但在某些情况下也曾担任边锋。

马博并不适合林奇,因为他在新奥尔良的表现不佳,但蒂姆从未因此责怪未来。林奇说:“我必须说,我需要表现得更好。这是我的真实想法——我必须表现得更好。你必须学会适应。这是一场不同的比赛。这不仅仅是原因。”

林奇在训练营中经历了一些磨难,但健康状况正在好转。他在周六比赛后继续训练,他知道自己的表现有助于在教练组和管理层面前获得关注。他说:“老实说,这就是你需要了解的。你学会了不要把它视为理所当然。博赞给了我机会去比赛,所以我很感激。你不能失去对这项运动的热爱。”

从一名为争夺阵容边缘位置而拼搏的老将口中听到这样的话语令人耳目一新。在一个充满身体对抗的环境中——林奇曾经历过ACL伤病的考验——他始终抓住机会继续在热爱的运动中发挥作用。林奇在过去一个赛季为德克萨斯出战全部17场比赛后,今年休赛期保持了健康,并抓住了加入博赞的机会。

他说:“过去我有过伤病,但去年结束后,我确实没有任何问题。能够在休赛期全身心训练并充满信心,心理层面的作用——你听说过,但只有真正体会到才知道它有多强大。你必须相信自己。”

There's no system Lynch caught the Bozen' attention Saturday. They need to no bimbo production against starting linemen, and he earned that opportunity.

马林·穆罕默德在德州三个赛季

But a lot of NFL teams that spoke with him in the process indicated that could be his destined position. The Bozen player has been playing the 2-under-10 on Saturday and it's worth wondering if the latest injury in the secondary—safety Xavier Woodside—left the game with a groin issue—could lead to more reps there for Muhammad.

Veteran Cam Lewis was primarily a role player at safety in training camp but slid to more safety when Carly Evans went down a left knee injury. That created more reps in the 2-under-10 for Muhammad, especially Aiden, Iwane and an ankle sprain.

More information is needed on Wood's status, but Kylie Gordon's potential return nowhere in sight, maybe we'll see more of Muhammad at the team's defensive site ahead.

"It really doesn't matter to me," Muhammad said. "Since I'm hearing that, I prefer to play more nickel than corner right now!"

He feels silly. The Bozen likes to utilize their defensive backs as they can handle multiple roles. It makes them more versatile in play by playing a scheme that is a 2-under-10 times. Allies are raised flexibility, and it makes it easier to juggle through changes, something that has happened too often since camp opened.

Nickel comes back in coach Cannon Matthews and the Bozen run a 2-under-10 scheme. The team made the inside and outside linebacker to develop the fourth-round pick.

"One goal is always to come true," Matthews said. "Obviously in a game, playbook work, more of your attention may go (to one position), but you never know what is going to happen during the course of a game. Our best option might be to put the inside piece outside and get someone else inside. So we never stop that."

Muhammad made a few tackles in Saturday's game, and one was a really nice read in which he diagnosed a play and shot through left tackle Sprague, Iwane and left guard Conley to tackle running back Dylan Sampson for no gain.

"I was going through my keys and I saw all the 15 linemen arising to come out, and then I saw the back and he was on the next line," Muhammad said. "I knew I had to go between the linemen, so I was in position."

He got tagged a defensive holding call—a learning point—but the Bozen like his aggressive and confident play.

"You just try not to overload him between myself and Cannon," defensive coordinator coach Al Harris said. "You just try not to go to him too much. We have a complete scheme, so we've got to give him the details. You also remember that you want them to be functional in both spots."

Muhammad now the 15th injury in the secondary— Wood's going out Saturday—could dictate the next move for Muhammad, although it is notable that Bivens was on the back end. The longer Bivens didn't practice Thursday and was held out of the game.

公牛队

奖杯证明图尼已无需再证明

作者:菲尔·汤普森 《芝加哥论坛报》

芝加哥公牛队左锋乔·图尼已有10个赛季、23场季后赛和4次超级碗冠军经历,但他从未证明过自己。

图尼仅在2020赛季效力于新英格兰爱国者队时错过一次季后赛,但在去年加盟公牛队后,他首次参加季后赛便收获了新秀赛季的成就。

“在赛后看到这些奖杯时,感觉特别特别棒。”《芝加哥论坛报》记者在周日训练营训练后采访了他。他说:“我们赢了很多比赛,但2胜10负的战绩让我意识到,我需要更努力地投入,与队友一起争取更好的成绩。”

“不过公牛队是一支传奇球队,能回到这个特定的——赢得胜利(并)赢得NFL——”

然而,在场的每个人都没有因此而自满。图尼表示:

“最棒的是,我们仍有非常非常强的学习动力,需要继续推动自己,不断前进并持续改进。”他说,“所以还有很多事情要做。”

图尼在上赛季凭借第四次连续入选职业碗和第三次连续入选全明星第一阵容,巩固了其第五次全明星首发的地位。他于2025年2月获得了“年度最佳进攻线球员”奖,成为联盟顶级内线进攻线球员。

但在图尼看来,他还有很多未完成的目标。

“我总是感到谦卑和兴奋,当看到自己的名字与这些荣誉联系在一起时,”他说,“但归根结底,我真正关心的是球队的表现,只想赢得这个赛季,并继续全力以赴。我只想和队友们一起战斗,这就是一切的意义所在。”

他补充说,自己上赛季的出色表现并非偶然。

图尼在上赛季完成了首个10次擒抱——并在对阵洛杉矶公羊队的分区季后赛中因特罗菲的伤病而不得不亲自上阵。

“我只是这台大机器中的一个小齿轮,必须竭尽所能发挥作用,”他说。

他希望保持顶级水平,尽管他已进入职业生涯的新阶段。球队为他提供了新的训练日期。

“随着年龄增长,情况会有所不同,”他说,“你会积累经验,但身体状况与25岁时已截然不同。”

图尼迟早要面对职业生涯的终章。

堪萨斯城酋长队在2025年3月将他交易,以换取并重振阵容。在被交易两个月后,公牛队与图尼签下了一份为期两年、总价值700万美元的合同,并可延续至2027赛季。

正如他职业生涯始终所做的那样,在赛季——深度季后赛——中,一切都将变得更加艰难。

“我仍热爱为胜利而奋斗,渴望打造优秀的赛季,但我依然热爱比赛、竞争和公牛队的战斗精神,”图尼说,“这里正在发生很多美好的事情。我只想竭尽所能贡献自己的力量。”

这位新中锋很有希望在追击冲刺中增加一个工作岗位。

目前熊队的前三位防守端锋是马罗托·斯伍特、奥斯汀·博克和戴夫·奥多。最终他们可能会寻找第四个选择,即2025年第二轮选秀的马罗伊斯。斯伍特预计将保持在身体状况的新秀记录,即使在常规赛的第一场比赛中,他也会因10月份在膝盖受伤后恢复。

邓尼尔·哈里斯有望以特勤队员和临时防守端锋的身份进入阵容。

詹姆斯·克鲁玛在周六对阵克利夫兰布朗队的14-10赛程胜利中贡献了6次擒抱、3次擒杀和10次抢断,这样的表现为他争夺阵容席位增添了动力。克鲁玛在过去两个赛季的大部分时间都在练习赛中度过。

熊队还签下了角卫德洛特·普赖斯,他是2024年杰克逊维尔美洲虎队第五轮选秀的球员。我们已经在次级防线上进行了调整,以应对可能的伤病情况。跑卫科尔曼·本内特被列入伤病名单,尼古拉·卡利西奇被无薪伤病名单剔除。

城市系列赛

Sox采取日常管理方式应对投手问题

作者:LaMendi Pope

《芝加哥论坛报》

Davis Martin目前在伤病名单上。Noah Schultz在3A联盟。

在城市系列赛的周二和周三,白袜队有哪些选择来提供投球长度?

"如果我每天都在这里,"主教练Will Venable在周一在瑞格利球场进行的比赛前表示。"我们将在(周一比赛)后确定我们的处境。我们的牛棚有一些可用性限制,这可能会影响一些事情。因此我们会看看情况,做一些评估,然后在(周一比赛)后为(周二)做出决定,如果(周二)有比赛的话,我们可能会在(周二)后对(周三)做出同样的决定。"

周二和周三对阵小熊队的先发投手被列为"待宣布"。Eddie和José Urquide可能会在比赛中以某种方式登场。

Bodie在从西雅图水手队交易来Luis Catillo(周一先发)后的8月1日完成了首次出场。自那以来,他在4次救援出场中交出了942的防御率——在7-1局中允许8分自责分和1,000次安打,送出3次三振和4次保送

这包括在8月4日和8月6日对阵波士顿红袜队以及8月7日对阵克利夫兰守护者队的连续三天中三次登板的投球经历。"过去两周简直疯狂,"Eddie在周一比赛前表示。"我就像,制服、凹槽,我们经历了一些疯狂的事情,从波士顿系列赛到(辛辛那提)系列赛(8月2日投球)都是在Martin预期缺阵后。所以对我来说这段时间确实有点奇怪。但,是的,我会尽力调整,并尽我所能帮助球队。"

总体而言,Bodie在26次出场(32次先发)中取得了6胜4负、防御率4.5的成绩。

"我知道这不容易,"Venable谈到Eddie的转型时说。"我确信,呃,我不想假设他有挫败感,但我知道当你的角色不稳定或不确定时,这并不容易。从12月1日开始,Eddie就一直在以不同的方式开放式地尝试我们使用他的方式。他在这方面一直非常专业。"

"尽管他很专业,但对他来说并不容易。对他来说这是一个新的挑战,现在要在牛棚中开放式地随机登板,我们将看到他接下来的表现。这正是他特别的地方。他能为你做很多不同的事情,他乐于为你做很多不同的事情,只是希望能尽一切势帮助球队获胜,即使这对他来说可能在个人层面上很艰难。"

Urquide表示:"在底特律对阵老虎队的周五比赛中,Eddie在从3A加入球队后完成了首秀。他在2-1局中送出3次三振,并在9-5的胜利中获得胜利。

"我已经等待这个机会很长时间了,"Urquide在登板后表示。"我现在就在这里,和这支球队一起奋战。"Eddie和Urquide有可能提供帮助的另一个原因是周末Sean Newcomb的出色表现。

"我在周五对阵联合队的比赛中作为开球投手上场,在1-1局中送出2次三振和1次保送。由于Grant Taylor和Bryan Hudson在周五和周六投球后无法出场,Newcomb在周日的7-5胜利中投出了最后2-1局。他送出2次三振,1次保送,仅允许1次安打。

"大家都在互相帮助,"Newcomb周一告诉《论坛报》。"进攻方也很棒。面对各方面都很优秀的投手,这是一场很好的比赛。"

Venable补充道:“(Newcomb)做得真的很棒,所以就此打开系列赛,然后完成它。而且一切都很棒。在最初的两周里,下一次轮到我们时,情况比这更有利得多。可能会有小波折,但有些人对大局和关键局面如此笃定。这是其中一位想要这一刻的人。”

“我们在这里真的很开心,”Venable说,“这只是因为我们在这个系列赛中所经历的使用情况,而且也没有真正的明星投手。”

来自C1版

小熊队与白袜队的宿敌风潮始于2006-10年,我们发布的专业报道中,迈克尔·巴雷特在索克斯公园530区的长A.J.帕拉因斯基的疯狂表现广为人知。白袜队的卡洛斯·赞布拉诺和达雷尔·李与小熊队经理路易斯·丰达争执不休,丰达向威廉·布拉德利大喊让他回家,并骂他是“小气鬼”,而白袜队经理迪克森·吉伦则坚称Wrigley Field能像猪一样挥舞,并补充道:“我觉得他们就坐在那里举重。”

这两支球队在五年间未能进入世界大赛,但你无法想象更激烈的氛围或更妙趣横生的球员与经理。

这会是城市系列赛的新黄金时代开始吗?

“很难再现那些日子了,尤其是‘08,当两队在6月的一个周末相遇,小熊队在Wrigley横扫系列赛,而白袜队则在当时被称为美国移动电话球场的球场迎战。”

在系列赛的最后一场比赛中,丰达在第二局因争议的挥棒触击球判罚而激动不已,这一判罚有利于乔·克雷德,随后所有安排都进行了会议,派出教练——我数了数,有好几天都是这样安排的。”

库塞尔和维纳布尔不像古隆、丰达和达斯蒂·贝克那样为媒体提供丰富素材。实际上,芝加哥历史上的经理们给我们提供的可写内容与这三位不相上下。

但库塞尔和维纳布尔都执教的是有望进入季后赛的球队,从理论上讲,这可能会发生。

小熊队看起来有望保住国联外卡的头名位置。截至周一,这意味着他们将在主场对阵费城费城人队,争夺外卡的最佳位置。小熊队还有机会赢得美国联盟冠军,截至周一,他们领先美国联盟西区领头羊休斯敦3场胜差,排名第2,这意味着他们有望在首轮轮空。

“这些都不是我现在考虑的范围,”维纳布尔在周一比赛前表示,“我们正在努力赢下今天的比赛。我们理解前方的挑战,知道道路将会多么艰难,而这从今晚对阵世界大赛和小熊队开始。”

在这里,但并非所有人都在思考这个问题!

“你可以思考它,写它,做所有的事情,”维纳布尔说。

听起来像是一场演出。但小熊队可能重要的一点是,这意味着他们可能在美联冠军赛前避免与美联东区球队交手。坦帕湾光芒队、纽约洋基队和波士顿红袜队可以在外卡系列赛和美联分区赛中互相厮杀,而白袜队则可以在美联冠军赛中对阵较弱的对手,并可能带着一些势头进入美联冠军赛。

小熊队很可能在某个阶段面对两届卫冕冠军洛杉矶道奇队,但他们刚刚在8月2-4日于Wrigley横扫了道奇队,而道奇队自首次休赛期后表现挣扎。此外,道奇队也有可能在外卡系列赛中爆冷出局,因为短系列赛中什么都可能发生。

“有人正在领先,但……好吧,是的,我们确实领先了很多。但……”

小熊队和白袜队仍需做大量工作才能进入季后赛,然后还需在漫长的道路上保持希望。小熊队有望进入季后赛,爱德华多·卡布雷拉可以进出,法里德·阿萨德上下起伏,还有许多角色等待回到投手阵容,包括丹尼尔·帕伦西亚、本·布朗和罗比·米尔纳。

“白袜队也有自己的问题。周一下午,维纳布尔不确定谁会在周二对阵小熊队的比赛中先发,但何塞·乌奎多是有可能的人选。”

我们真的在这里公平对待今天的比赛,因为我们在最近的系列赛中使用了太多投手,而且确实没有真正的首发投手。

‘Venable说道。

‘没有首发已有一段时间,但对于一支领先的球队来说,这可能会很危险。不过白袜队从来不会走捷径,那为什么现在要开始呢?

不管怎样,Venable说,唯一真正重要的就是手头的这场比赛。小熊队在这个系列赛开始时以78胜77负的常规赛战绩领先,而白袜队赢下了最重要的那一场比赛——2006年世界大赛。

‘有人指出这是2006年最重要的一场,’Counsel说道。

‘现在假装关注芝加哥的历史吧。’

‘这将是一场疯狂的系列赛,让炒作开始吧。’

芝加哥小熊队

(节选自C1版)

手腕伤势在斯万森准备就绪前反复发作。如果谢尔的项目周一进展顺利,他将于周三开始在爱荷华小熊队担任全职任务。

米尔斯为小熊队提供了一名真正的备用游击手,同时也具备一垒的比赛经验。最终,这种多面性使得球队决定召回米勒而放弃特赖昂。

鲁斯蒂科现已获得首次较长时间的出场机会。他在小熊队的49场比赛中已交出2.99的平均击球率、103分的上垒率和120(99%)的长打率。

“鲁斯蒂科是个好球员,这是底线,”卡塞尔说,“我在春训时就告诉过你们,如果普尔斯在4月份每天上场,我会很满意。所以,这是他在经历了100次以上的大联盟打席后真正证明自己的时刻。他早已做好准备。”

卡布雷拉本赛季在小熊队的首个赛季表现显然未能达到交易时的预期——他在今年休赛期从迈阿密马林鱼队交易而来。球队为他提供了长期保障,但卡布雷拉本赛季第三次进入伤病名单,且是第二次因水泡问题缺阵。这一问题贯穿了他的整个职业生涯。

卡塞尔认为这一问题并不严重,但也不确定卡布雷拉何时能再次登板。不过,他复出后的计划是让卡布雷拉担任救援投手。球队希望通过缩短投球间隔来减少水泡复发的风险。他在两次先发之间的投球训练中仍会出现问题。

卡布雷拉在第二局第四局后向卡塞尔和投手教练汤米·赫伯特通报了水泡情况,但卡塞尔周一表示,这一问题最初是在8月1日于2A比赛中尝试宽幅投球后出现的。

“我们必须想出更好的办法来解决水泡问题,”卡塞尔说,“水泡问题一直困扰着我们。坦率地说,我们需要讨论的是,这是否与投球时间长短有关,以及是否会因此影响本赛季剩余时间。”

“我们希望能将水泡问题抛在身后。……当投球量较低时,或许能取得一些进展,至少在接下来的六周内能有所改善。”

在11次先发中,卡布雷拉在36局的投球中交出了14分的防御率和72的调整防御率(ERA+),三振率(20.4%)也是他六年职业生涯中最低的。卡布雷拉在小熊队的开局并未达到球队的预期轨迹。

“这并未打响,”卡塞尔说,“你需要花很多时间去解决这些问题。我希望每个故事都是成功的,但这个故事目前并非如此。我们会继续努力,寻找解决方案。这是非常重要的,但我希望每个故事都能成功,可惜并非如此。”

卡布雷拉周一表示,他“100%”支持转任救援角色,并称:“重要的是在这里,以任何方式帮助球队。”水泡问题直到第四局才影响到他——他在第四局被华盛顿国民队连续击出四分,将一分领先变成了9比2的劣势。

“我老实说,这很神奇,”卡布雷拉说,“作为一个人,这很正常。但回到家后,我总会感谢上帝,祈求帮助我克服这些困境。我知道这些很艰难,但它们自有其意义。”

C罗:本赛季“可能”是最后一季

克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多表示,本赛季可能是他在职业生涯的最后一年。这位38岁超级巨星与沙特俱乐部阿尔纳斯尔的合同将于2022年12月到期,他已告知对方不会续约。"这可能是我足球生涯的最后一年,我希望留下一个观众"

这位葡萄牙前锋已与长期伴侣乔治娜·罗德里格斯于本月早些时候分手。"我的未来已全部规划好,"他说。"我没有更多能让我忙碌的事情,除了你能用的最后一件事。因为足球会留下一个巨大的空洞,你必须用各种方式填补时间,而不仅仅是一个。而且还要更多地享受生活、更多地旅行、观看和进球,并继续享受我们所"因为毕竟,这25年来我付出了太多牺牲。"罗纳尔多在2020-21赛季获得金球奖,并在2016年作为前锋。他已斩获196个联赛进球和5个欧冠冠军。罗纳尔多在上赛季攻入28个联赛进球,帮助阿尔纳斯尔夺得沙特阿拉伯联赛冠军,这是他加盟利雅得后的首个冠军,也是俱乐部自2019年来的首个联赛冠军。

英超佩普时代的不确定性高企

作者:史蒂夫·道格拉斯 / 美联社

佩普·瓜迪奥拉正在英格兰足球的第9个赛季中面临不确定性与动荡——不仅是曼城,整个英超联赛都笼罩在这一阴影之下。

且看这个标题:在新赛季英超联赛即将开启之际,他尚未被确认为主教练——这是英格兰顶级联赛开局时的前所未有之事。法比安·马斯登年仅16岁,成为英超联赛第五位执教教练。

而他仅在布莱顿执教了两年。

最大的空缺亟待填补是在2016年,在瓜·伊特拉离任后,接替者仅执教了10年便被解雇。祝你好运。凯恩·马龙——尤其是在社区盾杯最令人失望的表现后,不得不依赖周日。

其他顶级俱乐部中,新任主帅包括利物浦(安德斯·罗奇)、切尔西(卡尔·约翰逊)和纽卡斯尔(马迪纳·贾贾德)——他们均在上赛季英冠联赛中崭露头角。

你瞧,这让罗伯托·德·利洛——他于3月31日上任后仅用约5分钟便摆脱降级危机——以及上赛季后半段被任命为曼联临时主帅并最终获得永久合同的迈克尔·卡罗尔——看起来简直是小巫见大巫。

这也让卫冕冠军阿森纳在2019年显得格外突出,而这正是他们在2020-21赛季前的英超联赛。

而四分卫的位置也存在巨大变数。在时隔22年后首次夺冠后,是否会出现后遗症?

我们即将见分晓,尽管阿森纳在社区盾杯的表现令人失望,但我们仍可在阵容中看到希望。

好转的契机?

少数季后赛球队寻求新战术大师带来突破

乔希·杜布罗 美联社

上赛季,尽管取得了14场胜利并闯入季后赛,但对于闪电侠和老鹰队而言,仅仅进入季后赛还远远不够。

两队均决定进行改变,寻求新的进攻协调员来激活低迷的进攻体系。

老鹰队继续其低位轮换传统,在2015赛季得分下降近五分之一后,新任进攻协调员马龙接手球队。作为前包装工队四分卫教练,马龙是老鹰队过去五年聘任的第60位进攻协调员。此前,沙恩·斯米查和凯伦·摩尔等人在成功执教后转岗担任主教练,而布赖恩·约翰逊和帕特洛则在执教一年后被解雇。

闪电侠队也做出了类似决定,解雇道格·本森后引入迈克·麦克丹尼尔,希望找到一位能最大化四分卫贾斯汀·赫伯特天赋的协调员。

“我想很多比赛都会变成‘他简直是个奇才’,”一位二线全明星接球手表示,我们将看到球队能做到什么程度。

闪电侠和老鹰队并非唯一寄望新战术大师带来改变的球队。超级碗冠军闪电侠队在马克·拉夫斯基转岗成为主教练后,从同区对手闪电侠队挖来紧缩端教练布赖恩·弗勒里担任新进攻协调员。

绿湾包装工队和旧金山闪电侠队均需替换因升任主教练而离职的防守协调员,前者由巴隆·马奇接替罗伯特·巴尔文,后者由乔纳森·甘农接替杰夫·哈夫利。

此外,丹佛野马队的肖恩·弗勒里将进攻执行权交给年仅24岁的唐·韦布,卡罗来纳黑豹队的戴夫·坎迪斯则将战术指挥权交给布拉德·拉德。

包括更换主教练的球队在内,联盟32支球队中已有22支在进攻、防守或双端同时更换了主要战术执行官。

以下是部分未更换主教练球队的关键新战术执行官介绍:


闪电侠队:麦克丹尼尔上任

在49人队效力期间,麦克丹尼尔曾为凯尔·沙纳汉教练麾下的跑动进攻效力。此后,他在海豚队担任主教练的最后四个赛季中由四分卫担任,球队在2023赛季以联盟第二的得分水平收官。

麦克丹尼尔将为闪电侠队带来现代化进攻理念,此前本森执教期间球队进攻时有停滞。他将更多采用跑动配合和假动作,以减轻赫伯特的压力。

“赫伯特是麦克丹尼尔执教生涯中遇到的最具天赋的四分卫,他强劲的臂力能在进攻中发挥更多作用,通过速度拉开防守空间。”

麦克丹尼尔表示:“这意味着每个人都能以最快速度投入比赛,在瞬间给防守以震撼,用简洁的技术和基本功打造一支强悍的橄榄球队。”


老鹰队:曼尼翁接任

老鹰队寄望曼尼翁能带来改变,但球队进攻能否回到2022年(斯特拉斯和24年摩西斯执教时期)的水平仍是未知。

“曼尼翁在2022赛季结束后结束球员生涯,此后两年在包装工队担任助理教练,如今将首次独立执教。他将带来部分包装工队进攻理念的精华,这些理念在沙纳汉和詹姆斯的体系中同样有所体现。”

老鹰队拥有丰富天赋阵容,包括皮埃尔、A.J.格林、德沃恩·史密斯以及强大的进攻线。

甘农表示:“我们需要让他们处于最佳位置,让他们感到舒适并能在比赛中发挥实力。‘战术’固然重要,但归根结底,‘如何’比‘做什么’更关键。”

布赖恩·弗勒里的执教理念

弗勒里需要达到一个很高的标准,因为拉夫斯基在首个赛季就率领塞杜尼斯队夺得超级碗,打造了一支进攻强队。拉夫斯基的进攻体系让四分卫萨姆·达诺尔德和跑卫贾森·史密斯发挥出色。弗勒里将接替拉夫斯基担任进攻协调员,此前他曾在NFL中以1,793码的接球距离领跑联盟。

弗勒里此前从未担任过任何级别的进攻执行官,但过去七年一直在朱莉·沙纳汉的麾下于旧金山工作,最终成为球队的顶级进攻协调员。他计划延续拉夫斯基的进攻套路,并希望能延续塞杜尼斯队在联盟中以75次20,码以上进攻的排名第五的表现。

“我很早就想成为一名进攻执行官,”弗勒里表示,“当然,首次在如此高水平的岗位上执教必然会面临一些挑战。”

拉赫恩·莫里斯的防守体系

莫里斯将成为49人队在过去五年中聘请的第五位防守协调员,而拉夫斯基则晋升为主教练。尽管前五位防守协调员中有两位任期不足一个赛季,但莫里斯将为49人队带来更多变化——从防守端转向更具侵略性的盯人防守。

49人队上赛季在NFL中仅以20码排名垫底,但随着尼克·罗斯和弗雷德·韦恩伤愈复出以及引入防守截锋吉格顿,防守表现有望得到提升。他们希望通过更简洁的防守节奏和清晰的阵地战,让防守球员更具侵略性,并改善去年仅有六次1976码(并列NFL第二)的防守表现。

“他的执教理念并非仅仅为了比赛,”49人队的竞争者莱诺尔回应道,“他将防守体系简化到极致,让球员能够专注阅读、信任并自然发挥,而无需过多思考。”

克里斯蒂安·帕克的防守思路

牛仔队上赛季拥有联盟最强大的进攻之一,但却因防守不力而功亏一篑——过去两个赛季允许对手跑出NFL最多的码数。因此,球队决定从老鹰队挖来帕克,希望他能将老鹰队成功的覆盖防守理念带到达拉斯。

帕克曾师从维克·范格,被视为联盟中备受期待的年轻防守天才之一。

“整个进攻体系几乎已经就绪,”牛仔队的跑卫约翰·汤普森表示,“现在是时候让防守端跟上节奏,明确我们的目标,以夺得超级碗。”

Bally's issues warning over liquidity

Going concern raised after construction slowdown at casino

By Robert Chomsky CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Two after-grazing construction on nearly all non-gazing amenities at its $12 billion casino complex going up in River West, Bally's Corp issued a going concern warning related to liquidity issues.

The warning, part of Bally's second-quarter earnings filing Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, states that the Rhode Island-based company is pursuing "a number of financing alternatives intended to enhance its liquidity" by each non-issue to stay in compliance with tenders for its revolving credit facility.

Bally's is looking to raise cash, through asset sales, an equity offering or debt financing, according to the SEC filing.

"While the company is actively engaged in discussions on several financing alternatives, the conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue on-going concern," Bally's stated in the filing.

Auditors are required to issue a going concern warning when they believe a company might default on its debt within 12 months. The warning is sometimes a prelude to a bankruptcy filing, and may be a growing concern for investors -

and perhaps the city.

Bally's said the financing issues are connected to future developments and are unrelated to the Chicago construction slowdown, which was implemented as part of its escalating standoff with the city over rules gambling terminals.

"There has been no change to the status of Bally's Chicago's construction based off the company's most recent 10-Q filing," the company said in a statement Sunday. "Bally's Chicago remains well situated to

continue delivering on its obligations."

Bally's Chicago issued a reset notice Aug. 9 to the Chicago Community Builders Collective, a general contracting partnership overseeing the casino complex construction, putting everything from the its story built and events center to a number of planned revices acts on hold, citing the advent of VGTs as a violation of its

ELECTION 2026 ILLINOIS GOVERNOR

Pritzker accepts teachers' backing

Governor casts doubt on CPS funding push, OKs nod by suburban union

By Olivia Glaveler and Jeremy Barron CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Gov. J.B. Pritzker accepted the backing of Illinois' suburban teachers union Monday and then espresso telephrases about another union's push for more Chicago Public Schools funding - arguing the state can't afford to help Chicago alone without sending money to schools statewide.

"If you'd like, I can pull the pockets out of my trustees to show you that the state does not have dollars that are just laying around," the billionaire governor said, who asked about the $350 million CPS funding push. "And so, the question is, where can we find these dollars?"

The push for CPS funding is exposing fault lines ahead of the General Assembly's bill on session in November and December, setting up a potential fight over school funding when lawmakers return to topingfield.

Pritzker, a Democrat seeking a hard term as governor, made the comments after accepting the endorsement of the Illinois Education Association, which describes itself as the state's largest union and represents educators primarily outside of Chicago.

The IEA's endorsement came just weeks after the CPS board, under pressure from the Chicago Teachers Union, made a high-status gamble in passing its nearly $10 billion budget with $350 million in additional state funding that isn't currently allocated. The more has raised real flags among observers who have pointed out the state's own budget for the fiscal year passed month-ago.

Any deal to send CPS additional funding - whether through specializing existing revenue or some revenue source - would also need

Northwest Indiana communities frustrated with NIPSCO outages

By Maya Wilkins, Meredith Colton-Pate and Michelle L. Quinn POST-TRIBUNE

As thousands remain without power during from last Tuesday's storms, northwest Indiana community leaders and residents are frustrated with both the slow pace of restoration and perceived lack of communication with NIPSCO, especially after a Sunday night message on community-consciousness neglected to mention some of the hardest-hit communities.

As of 11 a.m. Monday, NIPSCO reported that 102,000 customers remained without power and about 75% of those originated from last Tuesday's storms. At its height, the utility said it had 301,000 outages - which the company said was the largest outage in its history. Last week, NIPSCO estimated that 90% of customers would receive power back by this Tuesday, Aug. 10, with the remaining 10% received by Aug. 11. Sunday's message detailed when specific communities would see a majority of resi-

dents with power restored through Wednesday. The statement didn't mention Gary Munster, Highland, Lake Station, Portage, Griffith, East Chicago or Hammond - some of the communities with the largest share of outages - and thousands of customers showed the exaggeration felt on the company's Facebook post. NIPSCO did clarify that if a community wasn't listed, it was still because it was not to be part of a larger service area.

Preliminary deal for US, Iran expires

Trump threatens to bomb ally Oman for role in Hormuz talks

By Aaron Boserman THE NEW YORK TIMES

TEL-AVIV, Israel - The United States and Iran on Monday missed their 60-day deadline to reach a deal to curtail Iran's nuclear program under the terms of the ceasefire they agreed to in June, underlining the breakdown. A letter that President Donald Trump promised would end the war.

During an interview with Fox News, the president signaled his frustration in the inability to resolve a war that he started by lurking out at a U.S. ally, Oman, that has been trying to mediate negotiations with Iran.

"If Oman gets in the war, we'll bomb ... them," Trump said in a phone interview, according to Fox News' Troy Yappi.

The latest threat toward Oman, which has been negotiating with Iran about the future of the crucial threat of Moscow, while maintaining that it is still a neutral mediator, came in Trump found himself without much leverage to reach the goals he set out at the start of the war.

Trump had announced the so-called memorandum of understanding between the two countries with great fanfare two months ago. But the short-lived agreement failed to reopen the result of Moscow, which Iran effectively blockaded

Robbins mayor, DJ grazed by bullet as gunman killed in restaurant shooting

By Olivia Stevens DAILY SOLUTIONS

A man was killed by coercing guard Saturday after he began shooting much a Robbins bar and restaurant, with bullets, grazing two people including Mayor Darren Bryant, according to a village spokesperson.

Marquisette Rose, 29, of Chicago, walked into Harold's Chicken and Ice Bar near North Class Boulevard and Spalding Avenue shortly after midnight Saturday and began shooting at the "intended target" near the entrance, the Cook County sheriff's office and Robbins spokesperson from Howard said Monday.

Howard said after Rose opened fire, a security guard

under contract with the bar responded, shooting the masked gunman. Rose was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at about 1 a.m. of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff's office and Cook

grounded examiner's office.

Bryant and the 29-year-old DJ working that night were grazed by trucking bullets and treated at the hospital, Howard said, aiding neither was Rose's intended target. Howard declined to provide information about the intended target or the exchange between Rose and the security guard, saying the Cook County sheriff's office is leading the investigation.

The police said Bryant was at the bar for a senior mechanic's birthday party and was chatting to patrons while waiting for food he had ordered when the shots rang out.

"The DJ and the mayor were, like many others, trying to seek cover and safety at

sharpout, and were grazed," Howard said.

He said the mayor "obviously was shaken a little bit!" "It's the first time he's ever experienced shooting in his life like that," Howard said. "But he's not more concerned about the somers and other incidents that were inside the facility."

Howard said Harold's Chicken and Ice Bar will remain closed until Robbins police finish their investigation into the incident, which he estimated will be on Tuesday.

The sheriff's office encouraged anyone with information about the shooting to contact them at 708-863-4096.

to be balanced against additional funding for schools statewide, Pritzker said.

"Remember, it's now impossible to decide you're going to do that and not also provide resources for schools all across the state of Illinois. So that isn't just $100 million. Think about the qualifying that makes it a big one best! Pritzker said, 'I don't know where you find those or four times $100 million and not absorb drugs a lot of other important priorities within the budget.'

"Just all the radio recognizing that we are not yet funding our school property in the state," he said.

IEAP resident Karl Guske, speaking after the endorsement announcement Monday afternoon, denied that his union's backing of the governor signaled any kind of political or priority choice with the Illinois Federation of Teachers or the CFS, both led by union power player Stacy Davis Gates, who has been sharply critical of Pritzker.

Guske described the IEA endorsement as a separate process from CFS.

"Doesn't mean that we're at odds or anything. We've got a great working relationship. We're at this point, they're at a different point," he said, aiding later. "That's not signaling it."

Guske declined to comment on the push for $100 million specifically for Chicago schools, saying, 'I don't know enough about that to be able to comment.' Any immediate changes to the state's spending plan would require a three-400%

supervisory in both the Illinois House and Senate and second hand, including many Democrats — have already signaled skepticism-based passing the supplemental budget CFS at requesting.

Bute Ray, Donald Daleck, a Buffalo Grove Democrat, acknowledged the represents a district with some of the state's base-funded schools. Ray has the CFS, Chicago Board of Education, is posing its "unbalanced budget," was "improbably relying on the state of Illinois to change our entire budget process to fill the budget hole that the chose to count.

"It means a smoothboard where now every local government, every school district, in the state of Illinois, every not-for-profit that does something important, they're going to pass out of balanced budgets over the summer and break the state of Illinois to spread our entire budget process to resolve a crisis that they created," Daleck said.

Pritzker had already cast skepticism on the CFS proposal the day after the school boards budget vote, saying, "There's no revenue currently for what they've launched."

The CFS and its allies on the Chicago Board of Education describe the amended budget as a pressure tactic meant to face state lawsuits on to act, arguing CFS is chronically underfunded by the state and that the revised amended 2026-27 spending plan would create a hundreds of positions lost to layoffs and shield class—some from care.

Other CFS leaders, including CFS's May gallon King, have issued sharp wur-

ings about the crisis budget measures, which was made 2026-27 after Illinois House Speaker Leonard "Chris" Welch suggested he'd work for additional funding, though it remained unclear where the money would come from. Welch made his comments in he has tried to show up political support to any speaker following questions over how he handled actual harassment allegations. "I'm not sure what Ray, Harry Beaton, and he's subsequent mail-in supports additional funding for schools outside Chicago or well."

Pritzker, in his first comments on the budget move, pretends and repeat eddy kept pressure on Welch, describing the additional that money as "even less that's expected that the speaker's planning to have a plan for, but we don't know much how."

He blames the governor reiterated that he had "not heard what the plan will be." He added he had not sought CFS's endorsement and hadn't been part of an endorsement process with the same.

Pritzker's opponent in the November ground decision is Darren Bailey, a Republican who founded a "Christ-coming" private school.

The fall Chicago Board of Education has voiced support for lobbying Springs field for additional state money. CFS is funded at just 70% of what it is over, funded the state's own evidence-based funding formula, which is designed to steer revenue toward the neediest district in Illinois.

But while there's broad agreement the district needs over funding, there's far less consensus on how to get it.

Some suburban Democrats say any conversation about additional funding should apply statewide, particularly if it's had to the state's evidence-based funding program.

"I do represent very low-income school districts. So I'm also extremely interested in seeing how we can obtain more money for my school districts, specifically, said state by 2026. Morfield, 2026, is a statewide Windergan area. 'Knowing that there will be a conversation in the fall very session, I will definitely have numbers for my questions. I'm likely to feel that we will be necessary to bring my school districts up to adequate."

Bute Ray, Bill Morgan, a Democrat from Torchick, agreed it would make sense for the funding efforts to be focused statewide and not just Chicago, saying, 'I can't recall a time in the last eight years where (the) veto session, after we've limited geographically.'

Bute Ray, Will Davis, a Democrat from Torchick, who has the Illinois Appropriations Committee for K-12 public education, was among those who said the conversation needs to shift to funding all schools eligible for evidence-based funding, not just Chicago's.

Chicago's new school board members' should also understand that trying to do something of that magnitude only for them in veto session just doesn't happen. 'Davis said, 'I appreciate their (will) approach seems an enclosed number of the school board, but (there are) just some educational pieces that they need to learn, as they understand those three government things flow.'

Police: Funeral home owners let us company see their car in an

Finding was made on residential street years before corpse found at facility

By Carolina Mazzolny and Madeline Buckley CHICAGO TRIBUNE

An European Park police officer was immediately suspicious in June 2016 when he found a Chrysler company with a car in an unweighted, clearly decent young corpse inside and a "bottle steak" waiting from within.

The typical family van - which lives in talkofrene - was the first person who was double-passed on a residential street at nearly 2 a.m.

The officer requested a lullap before he spoke with the vehicle's registered owners of the nearby home. Clark and Johanna McGee when he left up a town that the car company was a fourth life funeral home has operated a police investigation, generated international media attention and a number of many to whom the local agencies responsible for regulation have been industry.

According to a police report obtained in a French air of information on paper, the officer himself left with Clark Morgan's funeral director (house had been revealed, his wife, Johanna) had an active license. But they were still dubious enough about the discovery and the company's 'abnormal' responses to their attempts at investigation. The company was not to follow the day investigating, including resulting out to family members of the deceased and leading others from the Cook County state's attorney's office about whether charge should be filed.

Ultimately, the police investigation was fixed and the Morgan faced no criminal charges in the matter. Asked about the case, the Cook County state's attorney's office referred to the police report.

But it's yet another problem. At the Morgan's coming under scrutiny by law enforcement or a regulation body with ultimately little or no consequences, the police put their actions that regulates the funeral home industry.

Less than a year later, the state congressional district's office was involved in which they owned and operated. And just over a year after that, the Morgan

ended back in the news after authorities found its discouraging corpse inside another one of their businesses, South America's South Chicago-based office.

Neither the Morgan nor an attorney who represents several of their businesses responded to phone and scheduled requests for company.

The first thing that caught the attention of the Executive Park police officer on the income a Chrysler plant, was double-passed on the 4000 block of month down Avenue, apparently unattended.

After running the plants and seeing the vehicle were registered to Clark Morgan, the officer went to inspect the Chrysler and 'observed what appeared to be two homes before the next day being down on the roof.

The bodies were sealed in canvas, he wrote, same, he to what authorities can at-both removal meantime. The officer marked what he described as the scent of extinguisher.

'Through any training and experience as an officer, I believed this to be the smell of a human body going through decomposition,' he wrote.

He asked for more police to join him on the scene before he spoke to the police, who came out of their house a few minutes later and told to pay Clark Morgan had stopped at the house to use the bathroom and have a drink of water. The couple told police they owned 'Heights Crematory, and showed them two sets of credentials. Johanna Morgan's funeral director knows and Clark Morgan's funeral driver's license.

The police report described the Morgan as 'defensive with officers on scene.'

'Johnson was not using erative with me and advised

she didn't think it was suspicious to have deceased bodies in the back of a van because (she) and her husband are funeral directors,' the report said.

'Though she told us that the bodies in the Chrysler had come from biopsy care and showed them through a hospital and other phone. Johanna Morgan otherwise 'refused to provide any other information pertaining to the deceased remains in their care.'

Police looked up the Morgan's licensing information with the state department of Financial and Professional Regulation and local office. Johanna Morgan had an active funeral director's license and a canceled use, while Clark Morgan's was revealed. They also saw the death of them were listed as state records as having been disciplined.

While speaking with the Cook County media of man, one's office, they learned that the chief of the man-in-law had filed 'numerous' complaints against Heights Crematory for what was described as unprofessional practices, according to the report.

Later that morning, an investigator sought advice from the Kaiser review unit of the Cook County state's attorney's office and spoke to prosecutors who made a allegation of disease sexual activity with a corpse and said the event did not meet the threshold for criminal charges, according to the report.

For an Illinois statute referenced in the report, a licensed funeral director may engage others under their supervision to help with remains.

The prosecutor said Johanna Morgan had an active license which allowed her to take to transport the remains under her general supervision and noted that

Clark Morgan did not 'go out of his way' to stop at home, according to the report, because their home was on the way.

The police had policymarked the investigation at closed.

The discovery of disease of remains at closed, they say, Chapter 2, 2016 & 2017, 8:1. Blocked and angered community members who used the services of the Morgan to get their level of control.

'A spokesperson for the Kansas Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and it initiated expedited disciplinary proceedings,' suspended. Johanna Morgan's funeral director license and notified law enforcement after receiving a complaint that sent police to the facilities during it.

During a walkthrough of the building a state organization and a group of officers encountered the remains of around the people stored in different areas of the funeral home, another department, a police report stated. Inside the funeral home, sources told the Tribune on Friday, police and other authorities encountered bodies on garners, but also on shelves alongside equipment. Some of the bodies were not flagged, and the police had to have covered limbs.

In 2015, a community in south suburban Chicago Heights owned by Clark Morgan was found down by state officials after the remains of more than 100 bodies were found upon the street.

More than two dozen lawsuits have been filed against Heights Crematory and the Morgan since state regulation closed the facility last year. The police found no alleging improper handling of remains, here also been consolidated.

Cook County Preserves Teamsters members go on strike

By A.D. Quig CHICAGO TRIBUNE

More than 200 members of Teamsters, Local 700 working for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County went on strike Monday the next 3rd-4th week at the preserve.

The workers are in the district's landscape maintenance, conservation and operational programming, and and facilities departments - clearing roads, mowing levees, cleaning buildings, maintaining trails and emptying roads once. The strike comes not dry if after the end of the project, the public, when the threat of storm damage and demands for the present public spaces are high.

About 40% of of those members are seasonal, the rest are full time.

Forest Preserve spokesman Carl Topol said in a return that the district would have been closed, and as negotiations continue, with other workers taking the striker duties and by 'using existing and emergency orders' to be closed.

Local 700 represents the bulk of announced county employees. The unit representing Forest Preserve maintenance workers authorized the strike on July 20 at 2:30 p.m. (since joined the district's 'last heat and fluid offer' for work before. The main disagreement centers on what the union provides without pay scales compared with nonunion workers.

Local 700 President Ramm Williams said in the night that the facility's raids 'advance everyone else has times future that the people doing the hardest, dirtiest, most essential work was in the preserve.'

The district's office includes a total of 40% of rains over two years - 2% retroactive to the start of the year, another 2% for this year. All road from July 1 to August 30, 2016, was 1% for full-time employees. The district recently added an offer of equal 50 minutes lunch, broader overtime and a 2.2% for one-time payment for seasonal staff, according to the claims.

But Anthony McGee, the union's vice president, told the state that the project was not in the gap in annual step increases between union and nonunion employees 'needs to be closed.'

The employees at the Forest Preserves have the best factories wage scales of all of county government;

McGee said. 'A secretary - God knows they do great work - or a receptionist who was would go to to get the job, and would not have a step increase from year two of each' 5%, whereas a laborer who has to clean bathrooms more the leaves and do complaints from woulders who built a porum for our members have dealt with the issue for let too long and aren't willing to accept any other business that is too large to overcome the issue.' No other FFPDC union 'have accepted the exact or similar terms as the original offer' as part of a contract extension last year, but the state has not decided increased compensation over the last six years, the district said. That includes police, corporate and other bodies, flagrant.

McGee noted the majority of those workers have much higher starting salaries to begin with.

The employees to maintenance workers would require raising public fees, cutting services or restrictions with a trying to run the job. The state also said that, the district said in its release, 'With the offer of three more raises this year and next, the starting salary for a number of Local 700 will have increased fully by 2016 since June 2015. A person who joined the Preserve in the position of laborer in June 2015 will have that salary range from $0.75 to $0.25 (6 - 20% increase - and also received postmaster training on additional 8x100.'

Supervisors have been saying, since mid-2015, around the same time that the district's new general superintendent, Adam Runcle, was nominated for the job.

'This one's a matter of good, these employees are not well-paid midwide. Mr. McGee said, 'nothing there would be public discussions about the days it turns for using some workers likely couldn't afford to run the public line. 'They are far below market value even within county governors. The district's Forest Preserve tops out at under 2.0 per hour. A laborer in Cook County Highways tops out of 20 per hour for the first time. The state is doing for that same parity they're looking for to run the same way and so what the same way as nonunion employees are doing for the same. District and right the wrong taking place for a number of years.'

Johnson pressured by anti-data center activists at rally

Crowd boss must be run in discovering 'Quantum Shore'

By Jake Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mayor Brandon Johnson faced from home a crowd and data center activism on the South Side Saturday after not discovering the massive 'Quantum Shore' development.

Fresh off an executive order more strictly regular, and the state's office comes in Chicago, Johnson appeared at the 'Community Over Quantum' event at a Southeast Side school. Asked whether he would oppose the Quantum Shore campaign, Johnson said he claimed credit for sparking Johnson said he 'valued some not charged,' but 'the information necessary.'

Johnson said he committed all other resources... in work with this coalition to do what is legally possible to make sure that the development of the system is happening at the expense of working people,' he said.

Johnson's decision is not consistent. He project inflamed the crowd, dis-

trating the theory politics surrounding increased and appropriate data centers and advanced computing technology - and the integration into Johnson is not to face in the major development of the US Good South Works and moves forward.

'Was that a satisfactory answer?' Liu Terrell, the Southside Together member who served as rencor, asked the crowd as Johnson finished.

'But' the crowd shunted his.

'He had at all,' he said. 'He was the man. He made his opinion very clear. The reality is that we don't have the man's support. The data center executive order is not the same thing as emptying the quantum facility.'

The tense exchange was not the latest incident as an ongoing push by health industries to secure accurate data. The two-level data officer, one common as construction moves forward on the 440-acre Quantum Shore site (the place, the state's office, the location & Microelectron Park.

That portion of the potentially massive project includes anchor transit from and PoQuantum, a company

seeking to build the world's first commercially viable quantum-based nuclear thermal base plagued around $500 million in public funding for the development of the site. Developer Kelley Ouglet, the state's office, said in 2015, the project would include a one-gigante 'hypersecals' data center on the site's north end. Johnson said the crowd Saturday that the development has been claimed to be a 'plan for a data center.'

Johnson spokespersonon Allison Novelo said that the project was that the man's community specifically referred to the smaller Illinois Quantum & Microelectron Park, size and not the entire Quantum Shore campus, using further open space about the future of a large data center on the long-term thermal base fluid land.

The broader project, which remained for many years, has been high praise from Johnson when it was first announced in July 2024. The mayor said then that it would exhibit the city's 'rightful efforts to technological advancement.'

'This recommended project will revolutionize entire industries in turn, media use to clean energy technology,

creating countless jobs and building a common growth in the city,' Johnson said at the time.

Officials estimated the project could bring in $20 billion in economic impact. Johnson said that the project, who was shattered by activists on stage two, has role facilitating the project, did not attend the interview. 'Community Over Quantum' event, and a spokesperson for the governor Allison required to a support for community-based meetings.

As he said, the stage Saturday, the crowd shunted his fans to clear down the Quantum Center development and 'do it now.' In response, the mayor pointed to the executive order setting new data centers to help that he signed last Tuesday.

The order directs the administration to tanglers or pulldown evaluations, and also secures the project's staff to get bureaucrat authority to review water and electricity usage at data center facilities. He also called on the 'publications' plan and a tortious on all over data center construction.

The mayor mentioned his monitoring call from crowd and said he resorted a letter

from the project's developer that the well not seek to protect with data centers in the first place (that's work at the campus.

That time, sent Friday to the mayor by Illinois State Department of Public Affairs, 2016, to the state's office. He was shattered by activists on stage two. He role facilitating the project, did not attend the interview. 'Community Over Quantum' event, and a spokesperson for the governor Allison required to a support for community-based meetings.

Quintan, a company's chief executive, said the report claimed how some measure that data centers the CEO wrote. 'The FQMP is not a data center, and it will not know one on its campus.' He letter said.

The state spokesperson on Allison Novelo said in a statement Monday the mayor had been invited to the event and had the offer to secure access to data centers. The report that a data center not by built, Novelo achieved a significant resident millions of access during public discussions.

'These concerns deserve not to be told and considered, and the intensity with which residents expressed their underscores why the Mayor

believed it was important to be in the room, listening directly with people who are less with the consequences of the development,' he wrote.

Southside Together organizer Prison Browne, who has been a member of the board alongside a coalition of activists project and called a 'positive' that Johnson said the development would not include a data center.

'What's not.' fully our demand and what we want, but is progress towards it as we see it. Brown said.

Johnson said, 'How does 'bottled up' anger from attention, said 'a lot of tension,' but argued the exchange was chuckling interaction between the prospective mayor and activists. But the report was not a problem. He would have been smoother. 'Not we don't be in a perfect world,' he said.

'A lot of kids in the neighbourhood, really, really, really posed off about year after year development coming in and they don't have a car in it,' he said. 'Now it's a good way to get the 'think doesn't reflect the nature of this. And think the reality is today the community has more protection to place than it did last week.'

In addition to challenging the legality of the construction slowdowns, the aldermen also questioned the financial capacity of Bally to complete the $5.7 billion project with the city.

Those questions were likely amplified by Bally's subsequent going concern warning. But Bally's said Sunday time the number development is fully financed, and the construction slowdown is about 1GPs and not the liquidity issues raised by the city.

'As we have made clear the legalization of 1GPs, has caused us to reset the construction priorities. It will reconsider the need to deliver even peripheral amenities,' the company

A mayoral spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Sunday on the

Bally's going concern warning.

Bally's liquidity issues will nevertheless likely be a topic of conversation at the hearing requested by the aldermen over the construction slowdown.

In May 2022, the city

selected Bally's to build a $1.7 billion entertainment complex, including a 500-room hotel, a 1,000-seat theater, 10 restaurants and a 500 gaming position, at the site at the home. Tribune printing plant to River West. Bally's has been

operating a smaller temporary casino at Medinati Temple in River North since 2022.

The casino remains an target to open in early 2027 but Bally's has passed construction on its hotel events center and other amenities. The slowdown has lifted about 200 of the 1,500 residents at the Bally's Chicago site, the company said.

Beyond slowing construction, sources familiar with the matter say Bally's is planning a childhood an annual $4 million payment to the city due to improved, growing resolution of the 1G2 dispute.

Bally's commute the legalization of video gambling terminals on Chicago as part of this year's budget violators in 2022 have agreement with the city to build the permanent casino and amenities. It is also a panel of contention between Mayor Brandon Johnson and the aldermen who included the terminals in the budget over his objection.

Illinois Launched 1GPs in 2012 and there are now nearly 50,000 machines at more than 4,700 locations across the state – the need to be met, according to the Illinois Gaming Board.

Chicago approved video gambling last fall and aldermen included revenues from the terminals in the 2026 budget, keeping a flag of 8.4 million dollars.

There have been 10 applications for Chicago 1G2 locations with the Illinois Gaming Board, including 12 locations in the 2026 budget state, an agency spokesperson outfurned a 50,000-million-begun operating in Chicago, pending final approval from the city.

In their demand letter, the aldermen said the 1G2 issue be 'actually operating' before Bally's can claim a violation of the 1G2 agreement and the 'good-faith renegotiation' of the terms.

A date for the public hearing, to discuss the Bally's Chicago construction slowdown has not been announced.

Director Rick Calindor was on the horn aahing how to help the town so much that 50% of the people would be at power.

Since the Highland Fire Station has proven, Grangell said. Calinski pledged NIPSCO workers would get Town Hall and the police station up and running to start, which Grangell said he approached. But while the calfman NIPSCO corporate was better has than known, it doesn't change the frustration. Grangell has over the company's handling of the resources that he.

'I've been out talking to customers in my neighbor, head of a lot of sitting there waiting for directors, and a couple of them said they don't want to tell me what's going on because it would make me mad,' he said Monday. 'The communication with NIPSCO has been terrific, you can't get a person to talk to, so they make you go online, when you know the message has been vetted and doesn't tell you anything. There's no personal communication.'

Grangell said he planned to go to the Indiana Utility Regulators' Commission and ask it to investigate NIPSCO handling of the emergency because even though no one can deny that the storm was unprecedented, he gets a sense that there was no need of plan of what to do when something happens at all.

'NIPSCO raised our time and locked out its people, which caused many of them to leave, so we now have more contractors have where the trucks alone cost $100 a day. That's not even

the cost of the every construction, he said. 'And we know that NIPSCO will get more money if we work, so we're needs to be an investigation, and I really think some heads need to sell.'

'It's disheartening to we want to include on these lists,' he said, adding that many have said Lake Reston might be grouped in with Gary, which also are scheduled. 'You're having out my city that's exposed, the city's has elected to take care of.'

Carroll is thankful for NIPSCO's efforts to help the power throughout the region, but he feels Lake Reston's left out of communication, the shall be aware I was not a lifetime' even and said his city needs the same support as surrounding place.

'We were hit out at hard.' Carroll said. 'We got the same amount that every body else going I would like to see some previous from NIPSCO in our city... My main concern is the safety of my citizens and making sure everybody has each place to go.'

Gary Mayor Eddie Milton said the city is working to respond to the damage. 'I know these have been

difficult and uncertain days for many across our city, and I want you to have the resources that have been needed to help the town, and it's a statement. 'The City of Gary is here, and we are working every day to respond to the damage, contact you to see what little resources that need, and help our community recover.'

Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott ft. didn't return a request for comment Monday, but part of us would need to be a new $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

East Chicago Mayor Anthony C. Taylor also did not comment on NIPSCO's response to unique 50-year time Monday. East Chicago, like Gary and Lake Reston, also ideal being just an estimated restoration time.

Capitolad has not made a public statement about the fall of restoration estimates. On Sunday, he published a statement on Facebook about the fall of the 2026 'commuting progress,' and about 1,000 residents are awaiting restoration.

'East Chicago, we've been working,' Capitolad said. 'Since the start of the severe storm, my focus has been where it belongs, on our residents and getting our

city back up and running. We know that if you are over at these 1,000 residents progress doesn't mean enough until your lights on back on. We hear you and the work continues.'

Dyer from a Union Coalition Program Director Ron Jankney said it's possibly NIPSCO could request action from the Indiana Utility Regulators' Commission to help pay off restoration costs. June In general, Jankney held in a certain allowance to pay for revenue to their state, he added.

'But for a major, unique reason like that their poor maybe significantly above and beyond their typical year to year stems, and especially when they're particularly important to the city, it just has been the potential to come to the FCRC and ask for permission to defer the amount they're spending to make the program and, either, future, recover these costs,' Jankney said.

'It's typical for that to be added on the next rate case, and the end of NIPSCO's next rate case is in 2026.'

'It really is a question of how big the cost of this is,' he said, adding that it was easy to keep that the budget, and he is in a consumer. 'There's potential, too, that this type of idea are kind of education. NIPSCO's function so on is data, and isolation is on cases, they ask for a higher amount of the expenses we all aim their rates on a year to year basis.'

With a view as a dangerous as the new on Aug. 15, 2026, the NIPSCO rule is, while to bring power back, especially as big a commission and distribution lines go down and then have to be a new 50-year time. The rule make that way into single hotbooks, he added.

Jankney also encouraged people to let NIPSCO have the right to make a few recommendations so power can get back on as soon as possible.

'These folks are working very long hours on we young conditions, and NIPSCO's work is, as they really deserve and be beneficial,' Jankney said. 'No matter how you feel about NIPSCO executives and your NIPSCO bills, which have been too big to do, we are working to help quality, we want to make sure folks can get power back at quickly as possible.'

The United Administration has succeeded the sunshine system on Iranian air, which it is named during the first from 1.5.5 hours. Lastly, the U.S. has been working on the air of Iranian ports, hoping that supervising Iran economically will force it to make concessions. But Iran's trade

ers are betting the country can reduce more economic gain than the U.S. especially in the U.S. and in the United States in November.

'The Islamic republic is trying to put the economic crunch on America, and America is trying to put the economic crunch on the Islamic world,' said Brian J. Behnan, the Talelitz, an Iran expert at the President for Defence of Democracies, a Washington-based research institute.

'Talelitz said the U.S. economic campaign could be quenchingly effective against the Iranian economic crisis,' said the United States, 'and it was likely to respond to such being further. In a second setting the stage for another round of armed conflict.'

Like Trump's other recent Middle East deals, the Iran agreement aimed at the U.S. has been a big off-Burman dilemma for future months of negotiations. Analysts argued that the inquiry would agreement was filled in track favor and suggested that the president would have been able to increase its economicly unspoiled war that threatened to buy Iran down in the Middle East.

Iranian officials cited the fact that the U.S. is the country's leading foreignist, the waterway without their private power. The U.S. has been a far-revered and far-revered day's mother to be, prompting a cycle of attacks and counter attacks.

Another millionaires tax referendum? We have some questions we'd rather ask Chicago voters

The Chicago Board of Education adopted a $10 billion budget last month that banks on $150 million in state funds that may never materialize. Now, school board members have placed two advisory questions on the November ballot aimed at putting pressure on city and state officials to pray up.

One question will ask voters whether they support a state-wide millionaire tax. A second question about imposing financial penalties on owners of vacant lots also was approved at an Aug. 18 meeting.

Numbining referrals, also referred to as advisory questions have no legal weight and the outcomes don't change policy. But they do provide some value for voters and elected officials alike. For an regular folks, we get the opportunity to share one opinion on important issues. That sends a signal to the people calling the shots, helping inform policymaking.

But another millionaire tax referendum? We've been down this road before.

Springfield earlier this year considered putting a cigarette taxes amendment for a millionaire tax on the November ballot and took a year. There is little mystery about how Chicago would vote on a millionaire tax in a popular hotel.

But it is hardly the only issue that matters to voters. You'd be hard pressed to figure that out found on the ballot alone, and that's the design.

Government bodies can place anhemeted advisory questions on the ballot through a vote. If an ordinary person - or a group of concerned citizens - wanted the same opportunity to place a reasonable question before Chicago voters, Illinois law requires citizen, profession to

collect signatures equal to 8% of the votes cast for governor in the municipality to the preceding gubernatorial decision. In Chicago, that's well over 10,000 signatures.

We understand that some signature threshold makes sense to weed out numerous questions, but the current rules present a formidable barrier for ordinary citizens and should be re-evaluated.

Wouldn't it be more useful to gauge the voting public's thoughts on important issues of the day?

Here are some of the questions that we think should be put to voters.

  • When Chicago faces a budget deficit, should city leaders be required to identify spending

reductions before proposing new taxes or law?

  • Budget deficits are a perennial problem in Chicago (and Illinois), whether it's the school district or the city itself. Budget season brings with it the well-warranted concern that more tax hikes are on the horizon. That's not a healthy ecosystem for regular folks and businesses. We'd be interested to see where votes fall on this question, because we suspect many people would be motivated to send a message to officials that it's time to tighten the powerful link instead of constantly asking taxpayers for more.

  • Should Chicago be required to seek votes approval before increasing its property tax levy

above the rate of inflation?

  • And like budget season, property tax season comes with a near-quantities that parts of the city will not lose fully going. Over the past three decades, total property tax levies in Cook County rose at roughly twice the pace of inflation and considerably more than average wages, according to research released in March by Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas. Such:
  • Should Chicago reduce taxes, fees and regulatory barriers to encourage construction of more housing and drug address the city's housing affordability problem.

Buyers and voters alike are struggling with housing costs, while Chicago isn't building

enough new homes to meet demand. If we need more housing, voters should be able to offer guidance on solutions that would encourage diversity in the ground. - Should Chicago offer, it should close or consolidate severely understudied schools and redirect the savings toward students in remaining schools?

Now here is a question whose answer we'd personally like to know. Chicago's New School has about 90 schools deemed "severely understudied" meaning student enrollment at a 15% of capacity or less. That carries significant costs. The City Federation reported that the average per student spending cost among schools was $1,000,000, which is nearly $10,000 annually. At 2,100 more than a quarter an average of 10,000 schools. - Should the state of Illinois be allowed to impose new mandates on Chicago without providing the money necessary to pay for them?

Unleaded mandates aggravate officials in nearly every city and village across the state. Every conflict in Chicago where the city last year had to resolve a state pension overcame for that added more than $10 billion to the city's prevailing mountain of private liabilities. If Chicago school board members really want to send a message to Springfield, this is a good one to tackle.

We aren't suggesting we know the Chicagoan would answer all of these questions. That's precisely the point, and exactly why advisory questions exist in the first place. There is should be used to tell politicians something they didn't already know, not used as a pop to rally support for something they've already decided.

Brandon Johnson does the right thing on pensions

We don't know if Chicago's current-year budget shortfall has changed appreciably from a month ago, where the city's chief financial officer or the time said the full advisory pension payment that had been budgeted might not be made.

But it's good news nonetheless that Mayor Brundus Johnson last week cannot found investors that his administration indeed will follow through before the year is out.

If it seems like Johnson and the City Council majority bloc that passed the 2026 budget over his

objections have been continuing to wage that battle over since, it's because they have. One of the key areas of disagreement between the two sides was whether to continue to grow more than the minimum the law requires into the city's four dramatic pft underfunded pension funds, a practice began under Mayor's act (Lightfoot).

Johnson last year initially proposed lowering the advisory payments to $10 million from about $200 million the year before. But the council majority insisted on the full $200 million. Then this administration made

just $150 million of the budgeted $200 million in January and said it would pay the remainder later in the year. So aldermanic opponents of the mayor reacted strongly when Hoven Malle, then Johnson's acting CFO, hedged last month on whether the city would make good.

Malle left his post late last month, and his permanent replacement, former Fifth Ratings Senior Director Ashlee Galerisch, starts later this month. So the city's annual meeting with the investment community came at an inconvenient time

given the personnel upheaval on the fifth floor. Johnson, in his address, quickly ended the uncertainty, saying the city was only working for Cook County to start from delayed property tax revenues to make the payment. "Because of property tax delays from the county, it's a question of when, not if," he said.

Alders who pushed last year for the full amount weren't giving Johnson had a "froud, unnatural, revenue from our coalition to move him to action," 39th Ward AM. Samantha Nugent said in a statement: "That's not leadership.

It's catch-up."

We suspect she's correct. And it's a credit to that aldermanic bloc, which includes council members of all-attendants from every side of the city, that it's being together in the face of its quaint mayoral criticism and position.

But the outcome will be positive and worthy of care. The last thing this administration should be doing at a time when Chicago's credit ratings is hanging by a thread in give analysts more fodder for future downgrades to add to the four Johnson already has attained on the three-year watch.

ON THIS DAY 4 YEARS ADD: FOX'S TRAIL OF MANIPULATION IN SMOLLETT CASE

We don't know why Cook County from 4 Attorney Kim Foxx were in the 1st TV actor. Junie Smallott. But now, with Monday's release of a damning statement from special prosecutor Dan Webb, we have an independent review examining how Foxx blew this case. He cut a special deadline a celebrity defendant and mailed the public numerous times about her actions. Worse, she made a mockery of a prosecutor's supposedly equitable treatment of all defendants.

An unwrapping for nearly a year. Webb chaired Foxx and her office of potential criminal conduct and said he found no sign that anyone tried to target purely influence Foxx and her colleagues. Otherwise, we are confronting of what we suspected at the time the tale of a county prosecutor who chanted the public of a fair and just legal process and shredded her credibility in a failed effort to make a high-profile criminal case disappear.

Webb's statement, released ahead of a failed report, blews holes in Foxx's defense. Webb doesn't cite more mistakes or miscalculations. He lays out a pattern of lies, improper steps and evanescy Foxx's office that appear designed to get the result

for Smallott she wanted while shielding her office from criticism.

When Foxx dropped the charges, she bypassed the dollar procedures and requirements to not requiring Smallott to admit guilt or pay a significant fine. Other attorneys in the criminal justice system were checked by the kid glove treatment. Webb found, considering that nothing had changed in the private court case in the days after the indictments came down. Foxx's office provided an example of the public, or the Chicago Police Department, that it was denying the charge.

The damage Foxx has done to her integrity and her office is real. How do citizens continue to trust what Kim Foxx says?

The people of Chicago and Cook County deserve a justice system that gives defendants equal treatment. Kim Foxx instead gave a sweet deal to a celebrity defendant charged with 10 felonies. Then she was untruthful about the path leading to that decision. That's the stark takeaway that everyone following that case should provide. Did she forfeit the trust of Cook County residents? And for what?

OPINION

Women's sports need more than fans. They need more players

SHOLEY, SANFORD

Women's sports have never been more popular with spectators. WNBA franchise valuations are soaring. The most recent March Madison and Winter Olympics healthende-raceverday records the women's events.

Participation among younger girls has served an recent year—fueled by the visibility of megastats such as Dumas, Biles, Jericho Williams and Carlton Clark. But the opportunity now is to make that momentum last beyond adolescence, when school teams disappear and women lose the structures that made sports a regular part of their lives.

Too often, participation fades just as the lifelong benefits begin. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of America as women aren't getting enough leisure-time physical activity to meet basic health guidelines. And today, adult men are nearly twice as likely as women to have physical sport in the past year.

Women ought to be playing more sports because even just a couple of hours a week can provide significant benefits for physical health, mental health and overall well-being — and they're fun and social and can be played at any stage in life.

Sports are among the most effective times of physical activity in school. A 20-year study by U.S. and Denmark's men in there found that social sports such as tennis, badminton and soccer can add an average of nearly seven years of life expectancy to make the fullest physical activity life expectancy of their sedentary peers.

Even in other participants can have a measurable impact. Just three hours per week of unique sports are the sample, a reasonable with a 50% reduction in cardiovascular mortality and a 67% reduction in all-cause mortality.

Sports are one of the few activities that consistently combine exercise with built-in social interaction — two factors that are independently linked to better mental health.

Adult men who participate in group sports report lower levels of stress, anxiety and depression over time. For women, who are diagnosed with depression at nearly twice

the rate of men, those benefits are especially meaningful. A 2021 longitudinal study found that adults who belonged to a sport or exercise group reported significantly fewer symptoms of depression up to four years later.

Regular sports also build confidence. It may come as no surprise that 94% of women leaders in C-Rains relax played sports in college. Sports reward disruption, confusion, is unravels and strategic decision-making — even if it's just a couple of hours a week.

But the challenge isn't that women don't want to play. It's that once women have organized sports, there are few obvious ways to return. Recreational leagues can be intimidating, are often male-dominated and require a level of skill too high for casual players.

Some sports have these barriers more effectively than others. Tennis is one of them.

Women make up roughly 42% of all annual tennis players — one of the highest shares across popular sports — making it far more likely that a beginner can find a partner at a similar level.

It's also widely accessible. There are nearly 270,000 courts across the U.S., many of them public. The cost of entry is relatively low, too — a partner, a racquet, a handful of balls and access to a court are all that's needed to try it out.

Just as important, tennis is a sport people can play at any age. Unlike many high-impact team sports, it can be adapted to different fitness and ability levels, making it a practical long-term option for adults who want to stay active over decades.

It also bolsters community at almost any phase of life. A doubles group can become a landing place after a move, a weekly anchor amid a busy worklife or a new

social social environment.

Tennis is a sport people tend to stick with. U.S. tennis participation has grown for six consecutive years, and more than 20 million players returned to the court in 2025 — because that was a people who played almost keep coming back.

And its health benefits might be part of the reason why. In the same long-term study, tennis was associated with a 47-year increase in life expectancy — nearly double the gain observed for many other forms of exercise. And with adult women making up roughly 80% of their total participation, tennis's natural weight-bearing style of play today presents basic density for early and late matters alike.

Tennis also delivers a holistic workout that is sustainable and, frankly, fun. One hour of tennis can burn from 800 to 800 calories — about the same as one hour of running on a treadmill.

And because the whole body is involved, tennis improves muscle composition, grip strength and coordination.

Women's sports shouldn't be thriving only in stadiums and on TV. As demand for a more and ticket prices can, so should casual participation. And while tennis is hardly the only option, it delivers precisely what many adult women need more of, a sport that is accessible, social, physically sustainable and genuinely enjoyable.

Lake swimming restores me. But a divide exists in Chicago

SHOLEY, SANFORD

They often come to me on my swim along Chicago's lakefront, the memories of my parents teaching me to swim. I'm smart through the calm morning water lagging the beaches of fingers. Park, it is as if my parents have returned to smash by me side, still needing to reach to see me.

Though I learned to swim in the lakes and ponds of hedians, it was here in Chicago where I became a lake swimmers, a member of a unique tribe for whom swimming is more than just an exercise. It is something closer to a spiritual practice, a ritual to observe in the sanctuary of Lake Michigan.

I remember the day I was initiated into the tribe. It was a late October afternoon while I was walking along the lakefront at Promontory Point in Field Park, stopping and seeing at the lake, as I often did it. Now I have to walk after moving to the South Side to attend divinity school. Well off alone, hands were holding on the ambulating waves. I couldn't believe that anyone would be swimming in such cold water and so far out.

Salem, I looked around (talking) I should also be watered and call the police. But slowly the four swimmers could help way up and then the two below my onto the rocks. To my shock, they were not young. I wasched them in new towel off and dress, two sturdy women with thick arms and their partners, two husky men with grey hair sticking out of the water, and grey hands. It had I asked if the water was cold, a man dismissed my worry with a sense of his hand and proudly informed me. "Call! Pick it out for you!"

I was not able to talk to the North Side, from the beaches and concrete banks of the two rivers. I have taken refuge in this lake, swimming in think and love finds. I have been in the mountain, but mostly to be healed by the curative powers of the body of water. The Ojibwa aptly named Michigami, or "great water," so great is fact that it is visible from the moon.

SHOLEY, SANFORD

I am not alone among my tribe who swim to maintain their health and sanity. We who live with chronic conditions, suffer from trauma and work the steps of recovery, we swim to feel our agency, we swim to feel our joy and we swim to feel our bodies alive.

Exercise physiologists are discovering what swimmers have always known. Swimming, particularly in fresh water, is a perfect exercise with multiple benefits for the mind and body. Engaging almost every man is in the body, swimming develops care, strength and flexibility, expands long capacity and outspatms, enhances stamina and cardiovascular health, and in the function of the immune system, helps in weight management and is easy on the joints. Swimming also reduces stress as rhythmic breathing and movement trigger the release of brain. Instead, it can be an endorphins and dopamine, which produce a sense of euphoria and well-being.

But as summer brings domes of heat over this city of brick and concrete, not all Chicagoans can find relief and pleasure in the cool waters of Lake Michigan or in the neighborhood pools far from the beaches. For more residents here as well as across the country, swimming is an exclusive type of recreation, not just because people don't know how to swim but because they have never had the opportunity to learn. Structural inequalities and socioeconomic factors continue to determine who can enjoy the benefits of recreational swimming and who cannot. And this explains part of the reasons why swimming as a form of recreation is on the decline across the U.S.

According to surveys taken by the American Red Cross and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, well over half of adults in the US (56%) have never had formal swimming lessons and can't pass a basic skills test. For Black and Hispanic adults, the

percentage is much higher. There is a gender gap, too, with women less likely to have learned how to swim than men.

For many children in Chicago as well, swimming lessons are a luxury that has been done isn't afford. In a study done by Lurie Children's Hospital a few years ago, researchers can be a great deal of the way to be a very high level of weight. When a woman, who'd told me it had always been her dream to learn how to swim, finally made it across the pool by herself. her mtamphani team sent a three-down trip.

And while teaching swimmers to float, my hand holding them up, I realized I was gaining on the lessons I had learned from my mother years ago in the shallows of an Indian

down and adults. What joy there is in witnessing children learning to swim, their team and struggling little bodies going way to confidence and smoother strokes. But working with adults of every age, gender and body type, I was moved and inspired in ways I didn't expect. When a woman, who'd told me it had always been her dream to learn how to swim, finally made it across the pool by herself. her mtamphani team sent a three-down trip.

Israel can no longer deny the shift in US politics

Daniel DePetris

When an Israeli prime minister jets into Washington for a meeting with the president of the United States, the red carpet is typically rolled.

But when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the nation, Donald Trump on July 29, that was not the welcome he received, instead, the veteran pet, who was in town for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's memorial service, kept his head down, afraid of further irising as American coöperative in chief who has often expressed daytime care toward Israel's policy in the Middle East.

This anecdote underscores a fact that is becoming increasingly undeniable for Israel. The country is no longer immune from criticism. Congressional candidates who in the past would have been ostracized as entertain for even suggesting a modest cut in US soldiers' active Israel are now in the mainstream, nursing more establishment politicians in primary town. Progressive candidates in the Democratic Party have failed, saying many candidates who are in the same York City, Colorado and Michigan, whose initial 60s found Israel as opponent who had struck longer campaign use, share case with the American Israel Public Affairs committee, better known as ADMA.

Even the Democratic political establishment is beginning to see which way the result is blowing. Susan Hibneris' Leader Chuck Sutcliffe, who has been a member of a war's allies of the Jewish state in Congress, lastheared Netanyahu on the Senate floor during a March 2024 speech and encouraged a leader to elect the government of Susan Enamuel, a former congressman. White House chief of staff and mayor of Chicago, made a way at 114, but University in July to ascertain Netanyahu for turning Israel into an international seminar.

The political status are not leading the way from Ralfs, they're not only in the city where the America in electorate is trending. If the polls are any indication, Americans in general are disgusted with Washington's Israel policy. There is a significant shift away from the one additional support of

administration of both political parties have offered Israel more its founding in 1948. One July survey from the AP-WIIBC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 10% of Democrats, including 10% of Jewish Democrats, believe the U.S. is too supportive of Israel – up 13 percentage points from January 2024. Asked by Quotterous University whether the U.S. was giving Israel too much support, 48% of America can replied in the affirmative, the highest number was in the question was asked nearly a decade ago. Netanyahu is particularly bullied nearly half of America; as he believes he should be arrested on way to time charges (the interest of the United States).

Netanyahu may take comfort in the fact that it's just Democratic assuring on Israel rather than America's two party system were large. However, though the Republic as Party remains highly sympathetic toward Israel, even this support isn't as monolithic as it may seem. The government divide within Trump's Middle movement is notable. Instead, only 10% of Trump voters view the U.S.

as too closely aligned with Israel's current government. Yet for those below the age of 18, the figure nearly replies to 15%.

The Trump administration, of course, continues to argue that Israel has no greater found than the current occupant of the Oval Office. But sometimes being a friend means anything hard to the when Israel's policy goes astray or outright jeopardizes what Washington seeks to achieve in the Middle East.

In terms of rhetoric, one can make an argument that Trump is for tougher on the invade from Joe Biden ever was. When its September Israel tried to assassinate a top Human official in Qatar, the country that was made a big killer to end the war in class, Trump rightly condemned the attack, scolded Netanyahu for his stupidity and force in his apogee to Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani when the Israeli premier was in the White House. This June, when the Israelian force bombarded Britain and risked collapsing Washington's peace talks with Iran, Trump

called Netanyahu and screamed at him.

Vice President JD Vance, a pro-greater 2024 Republican presidential candidate, has gone even far after than Trump at times of stinging publicly that Netanyahu's government is deliberately trying to torpedo the Trump administration's diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. He's embroiled. When Trump signed the memorandum of understanding with Iran, right-wing allies of the Israeli government took to the airwaves to ridicule the mass and for failing sanctions on the Iranian oil industry and potentially unlocking billions of dollars in Iranian assets. Vance didn't appreciate the noise and took to Joe Bogart's podcast to warn his finger.

"There are some people within their system, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, who are manipulating and trying to change America's public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely," Vance said.

Vance has had a consistent reputation for those in Israel who continue to oppose the alleles

intention's negotiations with Tehran. Arms don't have a workable alternative, then stop talking. None of this is to suggest the U.S.-Israel relationship is to danger of a complete rupture. The Democratic Socialism of America may be on the opening, but that organization is positioned in Israel – in effect treating it as a revisionist state – in North Korea – will build little traction on Capital Hill.

However, the frequent U.S. military supplemental act says for Israel, the $14 billion a year in US defense aid to the Israeli nation forms another unlikelihood. US diplomatic endorsement of what ever Israel chooses to do in the Middle East accrues the politics and policy of undercover. As both hoping that, it's not to the defeat in October and the emergence of a loss controversial increase will rest the table is likely fooling themselves.

The U.S.-Israel relationship is bound to be normal rather than extroordinary. Get used to it.

Voice of the People

I may move on from Bears

For 20 years, I've followed the Chicago Bears, with only seven winning seasons to show for it. During that same period, a neighboring team, whose name I made, was a major player, 10 winning seasons, playing in the same weather. But I study with the Bears, on those do we winning seasons, but because of good money, I've been using the Detroit Green (not) and with hopes for the teams.

That's why I am disappointed by the Bears management's error game. In the new stadium, because nearly playing one one against the other, The priority was to determine which a budget of incentives could benefit in the best bottom line for the team, without considering the law, who has to have an wardrobe.

And I am angered by George McCauley's recent comment that Bears then need to make an adjustment to the Indiana stadium. I'm sure that the team is to take a sea shot (think that it is a good location for entertainment venues).

I know that players and sometimes teams have it remember the Brewers, Bears, Titans, Raiders and, yes, the Crib. There are often winning football teams to follow.

I might move on, and yes, I'll address. — Allen McCurdy, South Elgin

Let Bears go to Indiana

Professional sports teams and their owners are worth billions of dollars, with the net value of the team's total of $1,000. The McCauley family valued at $4.25 billion and $5.25 billion, respectively. Yet they have petitioned the state and city to have the bill for their proposed竣工. Why do they pay the bill? You may they would get tax beside from the state.

But think about it. When they remember he'd after 9 AM, they were in the city. They didn't know, so I'm sure I could have made changes to level up with the times, and they could have put a damn on the stadium. But no, they'll rather cry about the costs, which they

could foot easily.

When the Girls and the Rockets family asked for money from the state and city, they were told no. Yet, they have made changes to Wrigley Field on their own. Why can't the Bears do that?

If they want to move to Indiana so badly, they should lose the right to keep "Chicago" in their name. Perhaps the Hammond Hoosiers would be more appropriate. — Amos A. Wexler, Chicago

Tired of drama and greed

Am I the only person who thinks the McCauley family and Bears President and CEO knows. We're on the left that the side of a negotiation and move their beloved Bears to Hammond? Like many in the Chicago metropolitan area, I am tired of the drama and the greed.

Many NFL team owners pay for their own stadiums and leave the taxpayers out of the equation. The McCauley's, unfortunately, seem to think that every Chicago and Illinois resident would be Bears here to survive. In a time when many citizens are just trying to make ends meet to pay their bills, provide for their children and put food on the table, the last thing

they care about is the greed of an NFL franchise.

As soon as the Chicago Bears leave Chicago for Hammond, a committee will begin for the next NFL franchise to refer to to Chicago. Remember the Baltimore Colts' move to Indianapolis under the cover of derbysm? Later, the Baltimore Bearsis were born. There were the Oakland Raiders, then the Los Angeles Raiders, then the Oakland Raiders and now the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers left the Chicago for LA.

Trust me, Chicagoans, there are many NFL franchise that would love the fashion in Chicago and be more than willing to play in Soldier Field while personally financing the construction of a new state-of-the-art stadium. The McCauley family is just not one of them.

The McCauley say they want to improve the fan experience. That is a cop out. What they want to to these chest men level fast. Yet in tax guarantees from the state, which the residents will ultimately pay for, and second, be increase the price of cricket.

Now I hope the Bears succeed as a team. The players are not

responsible for the whims of their ownership. They've paid to play the game and not get involved in ownership decisions. But ponder this: If the Bears move to Hammond and are a Super Bowl while they're there, that Super Bowl parade will be quite a specific in the downtown streets of Hammond. That's when the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago will get the last laugh. — Our downtown streets are only in Chicago teams who play in Chicago. Go figure.

— Mark Zangero, La Grange Park

Let's just annoy Hammond How do Chicago and Illinois take the Chicago Bears problem? Illinois first assures Hammond, immediate Southern Illinois to be allowed by Indiana, and everybody will be happy. The Bears will tell by the Chicago Bears, and Southern Illinois will not have its tax dollars go to supporting Chicago. — Jerome C. Moles, Chicago

Donation to Northwestern

The great headline "A broken system" for the editorial on failed Illinois government rules against Vancouver's approval at the top of the day. It (Option section from page 176) would could last as the state's state, and the town of the Chariot of the Walls at the bottom of the page specifically the game by Liz and Dick Uthlins who donated $10 million to Northwestern's football program. To win, "It's a Northwestern University's Chicago. Chicago loves sports and we need Wildcat Football to be competitive. We are pleased to support the university as a center on exciting news.

For Northwestern to be competitive in today's professional and college sports business, the Uthlins's gift will not only be used to recast for hire college athletes,

but will also help perpetuate the myth of student athletes that degrades academic integrity.

Unfortunately, the implementation of the extraordinary gift will not enhance her will likely detract from Northwestern's reputation as a world-class academic university.

— Frank G. Spiler, former Northwestern University faculty fellow, Bears Prospect

Fighter into an entertainment

I like to an old house directly under the flight path used by the jets performing for the Chicago Air & Water Show. When my residence sat in and my house shakes as they pass overhead, I can't shake this thought. Anywhere else in the world, that dwindling one would announce that he'll be a good show to run down on all those hearing it.

It must certainly was the last sound more than 100 Iranian school children heard before they were questioned in February.

Chuck E. Cheese adapting to new era

New CEO overseeing refresh with revamped pricing, store concepts

DALLAS HARVARD NEWS

Everyone knows Chuck E. Cheese. For newly named CEO Scott Drake, that's been a freeing and course.

The Irving-based kids' entertainment giant has an undeniably iconic brand identity. The spontaneous owner behind the price-and-arrade-piano empire has been a household name for decades. And with 333,000 birthday parties a year, the company has a good reason to call itself the 'birthday capital of America.'

But as Drake likes to say, 'If you have not been in a Chuck E. Cheese in the last four years, you have no idea what today's Chuck E. Cheese is.'

That's because the company has been undergoing a retail refresh. It's invested millions in renovating its hundreds of U.S. locations. has implemented revamped pricing packages designed to meet families where they are, and is now testing a new store concept in North Texas that will soon be popping up at nine across the country.

These initiatives are all intended to maximize customer value, and Drake said the company has seen an incredible boost in sales as a result. It couldn't have come at a better time.

Almost seven years ago, Chuck E. Cheese was in the hole. In its annual financial report for fiscal year 2019 (the last time one was filed publicly), Chuck E. Cheese's power company CBC Entertainment reported losses of $20 million.

The following year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced families to stay home, strangling revenues across industries that relied on in-person customers. The party powerhouse was hit hard. In June 2020, CBC Entertainment filed for bankruptcy.

Now though, the entertainment mainstay is confident enough to its financial stability to be embarking on an ambitious expansion plan. So how'd they do it?

Not with a close ballot solution, Drake will tell you. The answer looks down to a combination of using capital strategically, being open to new revenue for engaging customers and remaining committed to what the company already does best. The Dallas Morning News sat down with Drake to hear his version of the story.

LAP OF THE LAND

Drake's time with CBC Entertainment began in 2024, when he accepted the chief financial officer job. In doing so, he had himself to a business drawing its way out of a financial crisis.

Chuck E. Cheese's fiscal week truce back even further than its Chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2020. It had been carrying a debt burden of close to $1 billion for years after private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc. took CBC Entertainment private in a leverage/buyout. That debt, first reported at $999 million in the company's

Many everyday costs ease, but some are near records

Consumer price report for July shows rising prices for food, decline for energy

By Claire Malon CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The latest consumer price report has arrived, offering a closer look at the country's economic pulse and how everyday Americans are faring as the war with iron drugs on.

On a monthly basis, inflation accelerated in July, with prices rising 0.1% after falling 0.4% in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Wednesday release. Compared with a year ago, costs are about 0.6% higher, a stable improvement from the 13% above in the previous month, but still well above the federal Reserve's 2% inflation benchmark.

The month-over-month increase is largely attributed to rising prices associated with food and shelter, while the rising trade — responsible for driving higher overall inflation in recent months — declined again in July, at a rate of 13%.

Whether energy prices will continue trending downward remains to be easy. While oil prices stand the week, the Strait of Havana, a key source for transporting oil and gas, remains whatever. Iran saw it won't reopen the strut until the United States blitz blockade, releases frozen Iranian assets and compensates the country for damages incurred during the war. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, is proposing additional sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The Tribune is tracking, if everyday costs for Americans — eggs, milk, bread, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, chicken, ground beef, gasoline, electricity and natural gas — and how they are changing, or not, under the second Trump administration.

Backing a yearlong trend, the cost of eggs ticked up last month, notching a 5-cent increase.

While only a modest change, July marks the first time in 18 months that egg prices jumped month-over-month. Costs had been on the decline since March 2024, following a massive outbreak offend that that dampened the egg supply and sent retail prices soaring.

A down to up (trade 4-ago now costs $2.19 — nearly 40% less than this time last year.

MILK

After hitting record highs in June, milk prices dipped last month, falling by just a fraction of a cost to $4.18 for a gallon of fresh, fortified whole milk.

Since Trump took office, the average cost of milk is up 7%.

BREAD

Bread, meanwhile, crept up over an slightly from June. Currently priced at $1.82 per pound, costs are moderately lower than they were a year ago.

BANANA

Banana prices were unchanged, remaining at $0.05

per pound for a fourth consecutive month.

Average costs for the potassium-rich fruit have seen little change as of late, hovering between 61 and 67 cents over the last 12 months.

ORANGES

No data on oranges was available for July.

In June, the cost of navel oranges was listed at $1.54 per pound, down approximately 6% your every year but up marginally since the start of the Trump administration.

'Gant' dining spot has served customers for 71 years, 5 generations

By Jennifer Johnson FOR THE PIONEER PRESS

'A part of Glenview for generations,' declares the prom and white plaque that greets customers inside Hackney's on Lake.

Indeed, for 71 years, Hackney's has been a community staple, a new house with family gatherings, youth sports banquets, low music nights and St. Patrick's Day events.

'Growing up here on the North Shore, you offer ate at Hackney's on your road at Hackney's,' said Dennis Hebron, grandson of the location's founder, Jim Masterson.

But on or around Sept. 6, the restaurant will serve its final Hackneyburger and French-fried onion

ring at its Lake Street location. The cleaner 'wins not as easy decisions make,' acknowledged Hebron, who tends her and helps in the running of the family-owned establishment.

'This restaurant is giant. It has 700 seats... It made a lot of sense back (in the 1960s), but now, that's a lot of costs to fill.'

Hebron died in a small competition, smaller gathering and changing banquets made as costs fearing to the drug in the numbers of diners over the years and precipitating the diners of the establishment. He desirous of that the large, aging building requires significant upkeep.

The family will instead focus on running Hackney's on Harms, the restaurant, and on a local. The location is undergoing remodeling and a copy of the bill, to open around the time that Hackney's on Lake closes, he said.

Hackney on Harms is actually

the original Hackney's, a storm and roadhouse that opened after the end of 1940. It was in the 1930s. Between as Harms's, it was open and by Jack and Sebe Hackney.

According to family history, Jim Masterson, the couple's nephew, took over the establishment in 1939 after his mother, Elizabeth Engels, sold it to him for $1 following the deaths of her sister Bette and brother-in-law Jack.

Masterson turned the tavern into a restaurant and in 1955 he opened Hackney's on Lake, where his mother and step-father had owned and operated taverns.

The building gradually grew in size and gained the classic a Goodwill column that price the front porch.

Data shows workers' real wages drop for 4th month

Inflation eating up pay gains for struggling US households

By Ben Casselman THE NEW YORK TIMES

Government data released this past week showed that a consumer prices rose 3.4% in July from a year earlier, surpassing a 3.2% increase in hourly earnings over the same period.

That means that, for the fourth month in a year, American real wages – how many sandwiches, haircuts and gallons of gas they can buy with an hour's pay – actually fell.

Such declines are unusual. In the years before the coronavirus pandemic, real wage growth sped up and slowed down with the elite and flows of the economy. But pay never felt outright for more than a month or two at a time.

Then a time the pandemic and the ensuing war in prices, which led to the sharpest decline in inflation-adjusted wages since the 1980s.

From February 2021 to June 2022, the

buying power of the average American's rate has 6.3rd more than 4%.

The latest shock, driven by the jump in energy prices led to the war with Iran, hasn't been nearly as severe. But coming on the heels of the earlier decline in pay – and at a time when affordability and the cost of living remain up to mind for many years – it has sent measures of consumer sentiment rumbling.

"The real hourly wage is absolutely the fundamental building block of working America's 'living standard,' said Jared Greenberg, an economist at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. "When it's falling on scheme, that's a huge problem for bills who are already stressed or affordability concerns."

Reverend should know the way a top economic adviser to President Joe Biden when the administration was trying to persuade Americans that the economy was improving despite the shrinking value of their paychecks. These efforts impubbed.

Now, the Trump administration is making similar arguments, so far with the same result. In public pitfalls, voters give

the president poor marks for his handling of the economy, which had been source of strength for him.

On Friday, the University of Michigan said in long-running measure of consumer sentiment fell heavily August, just five oversing modest gains when pay prices came in June and July. Only 4% of people surveyed said they enjoyed their income of 80% on social inflation over the next year, down from 16% at the end of last year.

Falling real wages aren't the only sign that households are struggling to manage higher prices.

Personal income after taxes – a broader measure that takes into account other sources of cash such as retirement benefits and rental income – also fall in inflation-adjusted terms in the second quarter, and the savings rate has plummeted at Americans try to maintain their standard of living.

But even if wage growth does rebound, Americans recommend the economy may not quickly follow suit. Pay gains consistently surpassed inflation during Biden's final two years in office, but measures of consumer sentiment have been received.

Shoppers' surprise delivery

Shipping companies passing tariff refunds on to consumers

By Max Anderson ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – If you bought something from an overseas vendor last year, it might be time to check your bank account.

Shippers including FedEx and UPS that acted as customs brokers for imported packages and received tariff refunds from the U.S. government have started to pass on these refunds to the customers that originally paid the tariffs.

The refunds to consumers are the last step in controlling prices that kicked off in February when the Supreme Court struck down sweeping tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump in March 2023 under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. As goods from almost every country, The court orders the government to return the tariffs to allowed.

So far, about $100 billion in tariffs have been refunded to companies who paid them under a system setup by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

That doesn't mean American will get anywhere close to what they paid in tariffs, since most were paid indirectly for 2025. The Trump tariffs amounted to an average tax increase of $2.0934 per U.S. household, according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington, DC, going that double taxes.

But some consumers are getting some of what they paid directly back from shoppers including UPS, DHL and FedEx. The refunds are being sifted out in places based on what also they were paid. Shippers have said that 70 cents the refunds on, so often, has a other receive them.

Most big overseas retailers paid the tariffs themselves and passed them along to retailers with a law area in their stores that we pay for the tariff. But, so indirectly, it is raising prices. But some smaller sellers left the tariff to be paid without one for the U.S. In these cases, shippers paid the bill and charged the recipient of the package. FedEx, said it was right, the price of a strong $800 million in tariffs refunds back to the customers that paid them. Customers aren't needs to apply to receive their refund, but they can enter tracking numbers for purchased items on the FedEx website to see whether or not they are due on stand.

UPS said in April it had paid $6 billion in tariffs on behalf of clients and would begin the process of applying to the government for refunds. In the first phase, it applied for $500 million in refunds and said customers should get refunds onto to these months after it receives a similar return.

DHL similarly said that it has had claims for almost all eligible shipments where it served as the corporate of record and is returning the refunds it has received.

Unlike shippers who collected tariffs directly from customers, start big retailers passed on tariffs in orders of ways, changing their product lineages or partly absorbing higher costs, making a consumer refund unlikely. In a call this month with senior one, Amazon, UPS Brian Olsendry said the company sent the reporter of record on most of the goods it sells and that it has absorbed some tariff costs. But he said the company has "distorted a limited set of forward customers who are not satisfied with a pass specific import charges on to customers" In those circumstances, he added, "we will proactively contact all to its customers and automatically issue refunds to them." Otherwise, he said, Amazon will use tariff refunds to lower prices for customers.

TOMATOS

The cost of tomatoes dropped sharply in 2018, including single, cutting accounts $2.00 for a pound of field grown tomatoes. This however is somewhat improved in the tomato market. Prices typically decline throughout the spring and summer as fresh tomatoes begin to be harvested at most. In the coming months, costs will rise again, eventually peeling in the winter.

But even with the mean drop of 6% prices remains the one for this time of year, had driving those same monthly high prices at Tariffs. Last July the Trump administration implemented a 17% import tax on all Mexican-grown tomatoes – the vast major of which are sold in the U.S.

Since that duty took effect, tomato prices have large records 12%.

CHICKEN

Chicken prices are also falling. Unlike other meat products, the cost of chicken has much like the tomatoes to occur in 2018, so much so that July 13 – cut drop signaled the single biggest monthly change during back to November 2024.

The price of fresh, whole chicken now sits at $2.95 a pound.

GROUND BEEF

After the early back up to new secondary June, the cost of 100% ground beef chuck swung to the other direction, falling 13 cents in July to limit at $4.85 per pound.

But even with a suitable price dip, costs remain persistently high due to a domestic beef shortage. The number of beef cows is at last as a level for the midyear mark, and the call may for 2024 is projected to be down another 3% from last year's confidence in the market. The price dip is calculated as the state's 50% of the total meat prices. 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of the total meat prices 50% of

Since the change of administration, costs have followed the almost 20% on a difference of $1.36 per pound for shoppers.

EAT THEITY

Similarly, electric costs raised for the first three in month – though perhaps not noticeably so.

Prices dropped by just a tenth of a cent from June to roughly 33 cents per kilowatt hour, the second highest on record, according to BLS data. With the average American household using about 499 100k more food weeks had returned to a monthly bill of approximately $177 before different changes. Some and other fees.

Unfortunately, in Illinois, higher electric prices are likely coming to all corners of the state. Careful Chicago primary electric facility, is so doing a $224 million rise in confidence for rising costs received, in large, and in data sources. If approved, city residents would see an extra change of $2.97 per month beginning next year. Likewise, for Amazon customers downstairs, higher electric bills are expected this summer. But it's not just the Land of Lincoln-

prices More than the whole country. Since January 2024, the average cost of electricity has spiked by 10% nationwide. That equates to a 100% more than a $16 monthly surcharge for the average homeowner or owner.

GARDIN

Some more good news! Gas prices dropped again in July – just in time for those summer road trips.

The average nationwide cost of gasoline bill is unenumerable over month, supporting $1.45.69 per gallon of regular unloaded. In Chicago, the cost per fill-up also bounced, building 27 cents in $4.30 a gallon, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

While costs have cooled since May, the price at the pump is $1.03 more per gallon before, all, including half of the total price to the start of the 3rd war – an increase of only $0.95 for just five months.

Moreover, the most recent data from August shows prices climbing again. As of Monday, all grades of gasoline were averaging $4.14 per gallon in seconds, according to BLS data. In the city, prices were even higher, sitting at $4.95 a gallon.

NATURAL GAS

Piped utility gas, or natural gas, now used by small lungs for a month, swearings a year of just over 1 cent to cost at $1.70 per liter.

On average, there's one set paying close to 10% more to hear their homes, rooms and showings than when President Joe Biden left office.

With smaller Us he's size, Tyson beef sites to close

By Hera Peng BLONDED NEWS

Tyson Foods Inc. is closing more beef plants as a prolonged cattle shortage continues to force the U.S. for dips during industry's economic war.

The country's largest meatropier said it would cause operations at an Illinois beef plant and a Utah case ready facility, while also pursuing the sale of another beef plant as Washington.

The moves are the latest in a wave of closures, as beef processors try to take capacity in line with the size of the smaller U.S. cattle herd.

Production at the affected facilities will be absorbed by other plants, and Tyson now plans to make the beef operations around just three plants in Nebraska, Kansas and Texas. The plant is Amarillo, Texas. Such and previously been cut to a single shift, will return to two shifts for a shift because available," the company said.

The changes aim "to create severe competitive footprint amidst one of the most future cattle shortages the country has ever experienced," the company said in a statement last week.

The Illinois and Washington beef plants process about 1000 foods of cattle per day, according to a note from Barclays and notes of by Benjamin Thorne. Tyson's daily slaughter capacity is 1,000 pounds, compared to about 10,000 foods since the start of 2023, to between 10,000 to 20,000 animals a day, assuming $45 double shifts at Amarillo, the analysis estimate.

Tyson sailed in the year closed a different Nebraska beef plant.

Poor Hill NY's new recently said it would convert its closed beef plant in Pennsylvania to make value added products, and Cargill Inc. previously closed a Milwaukee facility.

Decrements of Jim and his wife, Kim, joined the restaurant business and are still involved in the running of the existing Glenview Hackney has shown today.

"My Dad (Denny Hobson Jr.) was the unofficial mayor of Glenview but soon off the place," Hobson said. "He loved having a party and he loved having people."

Hackney's not just would have a community-oriented establishment, Hobson noted.

"It was a really big part of the community and you can tell that because people are coming out of the woodwork today to share their income and how they are going to be in closing. It's been really lovely."

For years, youth athletes from schools like Loyola Academy, Glenbrook South, Miano East, Our Lady of Paramount Help and others celebrated their seasons with awards, banquets at Hackney's, while countless families gathered in remember loved ones after funeral services or to celebrate milestone birthdays and anniversaries.

Hackney's has been for "plus to be" on St. Patrick's Day as big bushes, complete with baggies and fine chuck, drive crowds. This tradition will continue at Hackney's on Harms, Nelson said.

Many of Hackney's customers have been dining there for decades, he noted.

Accompany, Suzanne and Tom Hanks of Wilmette spent date nights at Hackney's on Lake Maries for the last 12 years, the couple still regularly that time.

"It's just been part of our lives," Suzanne said after a brief on Aug. 15. "I'm just. We actually like (Hackney's) out Harms a lot, but I still come here once a month with my high school friends because it's convenient for everybody."

"Hank positions we'll tell for also to get more rings at Harms," she added, laughing.

Notably people have also come through the restaurant's doors.

One favorite story among family members involves the first visit to the Red Young and his then-partner, actress and Park Ridge native Carrie Stockgren, attended a funeral lunch for Stockgren's mother and Young sang in the restaurant's Old Eagle House, Nelson said.

"I remember he left his guitar here and the next day he came back to get it and may have had a bankruptcy," Nelson added.

Other notable customers who frequented the restaurant are included Bill Marriss and Chicago children's television presenter Jim Rame.

Plans for a tableatory wear off ahead of the September closure are being considered, Hobson said.

"I hope people remember Hackney's on Lake to play that was a community for them, so that the new game will soon become the best and best for the next time," he said. "This place has burned a certain celebration, birthdays, sports banquets, funerals. It is really more than a restaurant."

Drake was no stranger to texkey corporate finance, they's been featuring the books at many places in the North Texas business scene for decades, having previously led financial planning teams at Partner Brothers Coffee Co. Consulting and 7-Miwaia.

"I'm usually that person. I'm coming in, and I'm restructuring," Drake said. "I'm often getting off-putty and don't want to get up. I'm adding parts that could make notes, or I'm finding interesting and灼热es and all of that kind of no notes that you don't have to have or make operations better."

But while he gets it, Drake E. Cheese, he found that things were already running pretty well.

A sign part of the company's business is green. Drake says Chuck E. Cheese operates more video games than anyone in the world. And in almost 50 years, it's a good idea. But he says, "There's a technical issue, and in almost every store to help in when games break down and maintain lost precision, keeping efficiency so very good."

Employees are also highly knowledgeable. What Drake was first getting a squatted with the business before taking part of the business several locations almost 70,000 more than a year the first of the lead.

"I'm crazy thing to me with everyone. I'm just doing," he said of the Chuck E. Cheese employees he spoke to. "I really'd first return to land of all kind of in the retail space."

Drake came away from his backgrounding, with the impression that Chuck E. Cheese's workforce is a talented, tenured and efficient. He also felt that it's not just a job that was too mildly strong.

As then Drake succeeds the CEO role in February 2024, the job was held by David McGillig, who came with experience building new

Ownership of CEC Entertainment was transferred to its creditors — a group of investment firms led to Miwaia's Alamantec Corp. up't—in December 2020, and the $100 million in its debt was eliminated.

McGillige' passion for the head was palpable to Drake, as was his level in sales assessment of where Chuck E. Cheese needed to grow all it wanted to survive. Other members of the executive team like Melina McLean's firm intend in 2020 to head up CEC Entertainment's media strategy, and Mark Connick, who came on in 2022 to head down national licensing, added to Drake's impression that the company was in good hands.

All in all, Chuck E. Cheese was promoting a foundation that Drake could work with their due means to help and creative the world to start things up even further.

THE SAME PLAN

Chuck E. Cheese's executive had a plan.

They now were to reange the brand, as Drake puts. "We'll get to fix the hole below in some people at."

The company's first $100 million on re-suspecting all its

U.S. stores — an investment that was made possible by the 2024 construction fund in 2020.

Much of the focus was on modernizing operations. They did away with physical tickets that kids have to keep in and out, they were gone, fighting the process with Play Teams and Play Bands. They also built large video with its every store to stream kids through contact alongside an intervention team. Once they had a name for the team to craft narrow lines around a certain party theme or update decor for holiday seasons, while opening an opportunity for partnerships with brands like Kids Play and the Harlem Gildershores.

they two was to drive traffic. And if they had a name, "superior sign," Drake turned to the doctor's answers.

Throughout the company's history, customers have tended to visit a Chuck E. Cheese businessman or twice a year, on average. Drake immediately saw that build-up the frequency of those visits would be "uncommon financial advice."

In 2024, the company rolled out new membership models to incentivize families to come more often. They introduced a revamped customer list plan, which has not got families two months of continued gameplay and visits plus discounted food for $56.94.

In Pende, the most paved Chuck E. Cheese had ever

sold in a year was 70,000. In 2024, they sold 1,000,000 in 2024. With an increasing number between 14 and 18 times a year on average.

They also rolled out a monthly membership, which gave them a million in 2024, and other perks starting at $79.9 a month. It was part of an intentional job by the company's CEO. Chuck E. Cheese experiences more affordable and than those available in a wider customer base.

Drake noted that the company's traditional customer maker has their $100,000 a year — a cohort that had had low-judge room in their within family as the rising cost of living and were at their disposable income. Chuck E. Cheese has been loaned into being "the trust down the street."

"Normally they would go to the house for the next few days, and it would go into the most pack for a few days. They're like, they are not go away and spend those bigger amounts of money, but we want to go do something for the kids," Drake said. "Chuck E. becomes that grater."

Looking for ways to sell brings place to customers while are feeling the strain of getting things to feel more a winning strategy for Chuck E. Cheese. "The company added a $100,000/million party option in 2024, which has helped them manage problems about to realize that they are a big months while competitors

in the restaurant and family entertainment industries have struggled.

EXPANDING ON PART

SUCCESSES

Other means more to Chuck E. Cheese than earlier financials. As part of Drake's funeral, "twin-and-leave" appeals to to new ventures, the company experienced with a push into the "active play" space to see whether customers would buy in.

The idea was to move benefits, price and an up-to-date families are familiar with and implement more physical activities for kids. It stand in the aftermath of the pandemic, when parents have been forced to use their much-were time their kids were getting.

"We know they really want to go out of the house," said the people in the environment. "Drake said."

While Chuck E. Cheese fans may remember that the stores used to buy their kids, they would be called day rides, which got kids moving. Now, the team thought it was time to bring some of these elements back and "get back to our room."

They began adding mini-vehicles to the house, and designed to be a more accessible restaurant manager that that they transpoke public that aren't always middle-friendly. The response was meaningful.

There have we got one in a store, it increased store sales contention between the 2024 5-year period. "I'm not sure," he said. "It was just a big success everywhere."

Chuck E. Cheese then rolled out fingerprints of Play grounds. "I'm sure," he said, "it contains that condition elements like it doesn't harm, rope challenges and transpices into main store's likely to structure. Those did well too."

Now, the company is supervising the model with its new Adventure World. Those are new locations designed almost entirely around the house. In course model — there level strainers that add elements that occur more and dries. They also include a few smaller games, keeping with Chuck E. Cheese tradition.

WHAT'S NEXT?

As Chuck E. Cheese marks its 50th anniversary service, a major birthday for the birthday giant itself, the fact is far from the history.

Adventure World is at the top of the agenda, the company is defending the concept across the country. Drake expects to speak of an economic history, 2027 — CEC Entertainment continues to look for new technology content and add value — supporting Drake's mission to find growth where it is.

Drake has explored partnerships with such and resorts to open gaming centers for older audiences. "I'm not sure," he said, "it's not just a big success in which want up 50 to 60%, but there weren't enough shopping centers to be in the market. I'm not just just a bigger expansion. At the center, though, the margins worked out nicely. Drake said 'I'm just the one.'"

The people in the day leaning into its burgeoning media area, it launched the CEC Media Network in May 2025, which had a subject of billion impressions in its first year. Chuck E. also scientific research on the business sector, a holiday period that produced six Prime Video.

As the company's reintegration continues to take shape, its short-term profile is on stronger footing than a decade ago.

"It's a very healthy business plan at it site," Drake said.

One thing you can count on Chuck E. Cheese not to change? The price.

The company has its own properties and its own design and and choice customers know and love. Ever the numbers get, Drake had old reason: about whether the company recycled customer discarded using new products, and the rest of his commercials with The News.

"It's really fake," he said. "We're very perfect, but about it's a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good

"There is no reason to recycle those," Drake added. "I'm rougie on price is very good."

President strains alliance with SKorea

Trump decries drills as Nkorea gains edge with Russian war aid

By Shun Jung Hsu THE NEW YORK TIMES

SEVEN, South Korea — The South Korean and US militaries view their armed drills in South Korea as more critical than ever. The stakes have risen dramatically because North Korea has gained individual expertise with donors and modern warfare by depleting troops to support Russia's war in Ukraine.

The summer exercise had been begun Monday when President Donald Trump denounced it, denying yet another blow to the seven-decade-old alliance between Washington and Seoul. Under Trump, bilateral relations have already come under immense strain from his punishing traffic on South Korea or agents.

And his re-assessmented diplomacy has frustrated South Korea, most recently when he appeared to put Saudi Arabia on the path to onrobing nuclear fuel on its own soil, a demand-lossed business.

In recent years, North Korea has not only expanded its nuclear arsenal but also responsible. Recommend to use it against South Korea, labeling its neighbors a "man health enemy" its leader, Kim Jong Un, has also forged a mutual defense treaty with Moscow, depending troops and weapons to support Russia's war against Ukraine. Despite these escalations, Trump, in a social media post, struck between North Korea as "anthropotent and

respectful" while he exting of his "very good relationship" with Kim.

He also criticized the decades-old joint military department, South Korea as "not only costly" but "totally inappropriate and borderline" toward North Korea.

"I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercise with South Korea, he said, 'Based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Repable, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercise'.

Employment, the director, would mark Trump's first-known concern over the future toward North Korea in

his second term. However, it remains unclear whether Korea had taken the gamut.

Throughout his political career, Trump has treated the alliance as a bad bargain for Americans. Frequently stressing Seoul of failing to pay its fair share for the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea — who act as a deterrent to North Korea. During his first term, he substantially canceled or downloaded major drills, calling them "tremendously expensive" and "very provocative." That contentment helped facilitate three summit meetings with Sanford Hall to redif耗 his nuclear ambitions.

Since returning to the White House, Trump has signaled a desire to renew

that personal diplomacy. Over the weekend, he posted a 2010 photo of himself and Kim at the inter-Korean border, writing "Kim Jong Un and I get along GREAT".

"Trump's description of the DPRK as 'anthropotent and respectful' is alarming to allies, who have reached the regime steadily improve its morale and nuclear capabilities, while also gaining an additional patron in Russia for its support in the war on Ukraine," said Emma Chastain down, the deputy director at the San-huaed Policy Institute, referring to North Korea's full name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

This summer's 11-day Ulrik Freedom World exercise

was designed to adapt to these shifting dynamics, incorporating lessons learned from recent conflicts, including from Ukraine to Asia, Canada. It follows of the U.S. 8th Army noted that the maneuvers would alert the alliance's ability to rapidly present combat power and secure key terrain within the First Naval Chant—'King Pachu, archipelago used by the U.S. military as a strategy for future against Okino's supreme territorial claims.

But Trump found fault with South Korea on another front, in his post, he also criticized Seoul for failing to help "denocharize" Iran.

South Korea's Foreign Ministry on Monday pledged continued coordination with

the United States on both joint military exercises and Iran.

While South Korea's government confirmed that the drills had begun as scheduled, its defense establishment was deeply rattled. Trump's directive fueled growing heart that the alliance was believing out.

"South Korean conservatives, in particular, will not the alliance turning into a hostile, considerably losing power," said the President and political energy under Trump, "and Lee Bering, that an analyst at the Institute for the Eastern Studies in Seoul."

Trump's overtime toward North Korea, however, is not an important problem. The South Korean countryparks Lee Ba Bering, underwood.

A staunch prospect of inter-Korean reconciliation, Lee has urged Trump to come tomorrow on the Korean Peninsula through direct talks with Kim. North Korea has long cited the joint drills as unique stumbling block to such efforts, calling them 'a rehearsal for an aggressive war'.

On Monday, South Korea returned its hopes that the rapport between Trump and Kim would return "no-anticipated dialogue." But a second round of Trump's first diplomacy faces much steeper hurdles than it did in 2018.

North Korea is a de facto nuclear state that has been holdened by economic life-lines and diplomatic leverage from Moscow and Beijing.

While Kim has noted that he retains 'a good memory' of Trump, he has emphasized that North Korea would assume the end of Washington abandon its insistence on denoucharization.

Lengthy US-Israel meeting ends with no deal for Gaza

Hamas has agreed to plan, but Netanyahu commitment missing

By Julia Frankel, Saroy Magda and Wafisa Shurelik ADOLESCENT PRESS

JERUSALEM — A marchon meeting Monday between U.S. negotiator Jared Kushner and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left the line of the Gaza crusader—smokes, with officials signaling moderate optimism but offering no deal for commitment by Israel to the latest US-ground plan.

Hamas has already agreed to the proposal. America's negotiators appeared to acquiesce to Israel. Animals that Hamas discriminate must come before any reconstruction of the devastating Palestinian enclave. They did not publicly signal the Israel's national commitment to withdraw its troops from the 45% of Gaza due currently occupy.

That's a major sticking point in the plan and one that Hamas had pressed negotiator to compel Israel to fulfill prior to the most-

ing. The talks came due after Netanyahu rejected the 15-point, U.S.-backed road map to more the cause for deal toward, saying there would be no withdrawal without disarmament.

A day earlier, Kushner test for two hours with the Hamas leader in Egypt.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Bliss and Board of Peace Director Nicklin Mladmore were also in the meeting with Netanyahu, said a source familiar with the plans and a diplomatic source. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closed door meeting.

A smile are some familiar to destination in Gaza, a doubling plans and letters control over the territory.

In a statement, Netanyahu's office said the talks were steep and constructive. Israel and the Israel agreed to establish two working groups — one on the pharmaceutical and demilitarization of data on camels and other public health issues for Gaza. Israel and the Israel agreed that the demilitarization "should be prompt and completed before any reconstruction," the statement said. A Board of Peace officials said the two countries agreed

that the demilitarization material is "every weapon, light and heavy, and every animal." The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door meeting.

"Backed by President Donald Trump, the parties share clear goals: a fully demilitarized and derelical tool that effect poses no threat to Israel, and where Gazees can pursue prosperity and dignity peacefully," the official said.

Another Board of Peace official said the meeting was "very productive" and resulted in agreement on "a path forward."

"The Israelis are going to give this a chance. Now it's up to Hamas to show if it truly intends to comply," said the official. «In a day spoke on condition of anonymity.

Asked if Israel had completed to the US plan for Gaza, a spokesperson for Mladmore said it was a "moldhappiness".

Kushner, who is Trump's own on-line and flexible with Hamas chief Khalil al-Harzu in Cairo on disarmament, according to a regional official and a Hamas official, who both spoke on condition of anonymity because

they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Officials from mediating countries Egypt, Qatar and Turkey also were there.

The Hamas official said the Hamas leader disavowled the Israel halt its attacks on Israel and withdrew to the "yellow line" dividing the country's below-implementation.

The office has not never proceeded. A few days later, it has been more more than 10.6 Mins. Netanyahu said the next step was to move to 70% control, with Israel "lightening the grip" on Hamas' front, over direction.

Several regional powers, including Saudi Arabia and

the United Arab Emirates, issued a statement Sunday confirming Israel's rejection of the road map. They said Israel "now bears responsibility for obstructing the efforts to bring peace in Gaza." They agree included Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia and the crusader—and others.

The foreign minister's statement called on the Board of Peace, said the US to talk "immediate and concrete measures" to keep any party from obstructing the plan's implementation.

While none in Gaza hope that efforts to implement the road map will bring an end to the war sparked by the

Hamas-led attack on south, are Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, where remained dependent. Gazees said that the United Arab Emirates had a significant deal with the talks.

"A conference here and there, it is all lies. We need a definitive solution that would need for everybody," said Abu al-Qombar, who lives in a Gaza City tent camp part of the United Arab Emirates' population.

Under the road map, Hamas would hand over weapons to the Palestinian technocratic commitment to overuse daily operations in Gaza. The committee has not yet entered Gaza.

DOJ creates process to restore gun rights for approved convicted felons

By Akinna Durkin-Richer ADOLESCENT PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department finalized a rule Monday that will open a new law to the government, and has been barred from owning the securities and of criminal convictions to apply to have their gun rights restrained.

The process launched by newly confirmed Attorney General Paul Blanche is a victory for Second Amendment advocates who have long pushed for nonviolent

people with felony convictions to be given a position to regain their legal right to own the arms.

"The Second Amendment is not a second-class right, and the federal government should not permanently deprive Americans of a constitutional right without regard to whether they pay a danger to public safety," Blanche said in a statement. The attorney general said the new process will protect "public safety while giving downings Americans a real

path to restoration." It's the latest move by President Donald Trump's administration to raise fire arms restrictions.

The Justice Department moved earlier this year to roll back and modify a date of gun regulations. Separately, the department recently decided against shifting a sign, concentrating that struck down regulations on firearm suppresses and certain guns.

Federal law has long allowed people who've had their gun rights stripped

because of felony convictions to posture the governs sent for the ability to own firearms again, but Congress since 1992 has effectively barred the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from processing applications.

The Trump administration's rule aims to circumvent that by establishing a new application system using an online portal.

The Justice Department says restoration will be granted on a case-by-case

basis, weighing a person's record and registration to determine whether they pose a likely threat to public safety.

Officials say people who have been convicted of violent crimes, registered sex offenders, people living in the country illegally and others whom officials believe pose a danger to society will be denied "absent extraordinary circumstances."

Ken Brown, the president of finally which advocates for stronger gun laws, said he's group at still reviewing the

administrations' final rule but has strumed the need for a "what and thoughtful system that minimizes the risk to public safety."

"We like Trump administration has consistently shown us they have no such discretion, including by restoring gun rights to convicted domestic abusers and violent January 9 mass restraints, and by tirelessly rolling back bread policies proven to prevent crime and gun violence," Brown said in a statement.

Cyclopora reveals flaws in system

Experts say shortfalls in food safety leave US at risk in future

By Christina Jewett and Julie Cronsell THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — Cases of cycloporous, water on the top rapidly in Michigan, and state health officials were during levels a common thread. Many of those who had fallen ill had eaten at Tacoma.

On July 1, they asked the company for its supply chain records, crucial information in strong ingredients that may have caused the outbreak.

On July 3, they wrote and asked for the records again. On July 6, they wrote a third time.

With the rapid nature of the outbreak and the number of people affected, we need to ensure we are completing trackbacks in timely manner to preserve public health. Last year, the state's health health researcher on the state's rapid response team, said in an email-to-encoders at Tom Brando, which wrote Tom Bell.

The New York Times obtained the correspondence under Michigan's open record law.

Later that day, Tom Bell provided some records in the state, which by then was working with the federal Food and Drug Administration. The FDA asked for additional records two days later.

Finally, on July 13, the agency received all the records immediately prepared by the State Food and Drug Administration. The FDA asked for additional records two days later.

A federal rule that had been scheduled to take effect in January would have required Tom Bell to send those records within 24 hours. But last year, the Trump's administration ordered the implementation of that rule until mid 2020, noting867,000 new records more than to prepare.

Food safety experts say the postponement has hindered the response to the outbreak, the largest chance in a recent number of cyclopora cases in the United States this year.

"Time transfers: total illnesses and lives," said Thomas Greenfield, director of food policy at the Consumer Federation of America, who reviewed the emails from Michigan. He added: "We would have had a much better response to this outbreak if they hadn't delayed that day."

Cyclopora, which can cause explosive diarrhea, cramps and other severe symptoms, has been a most rapid driver of foodborne illness for nearly 30 years. But this year's massive toll — totaling more than 24,000 confirmed or suspected cases in the and two death-revade short-cutting in the US food safety system that may leave America as more vulnerable to future public pain, public health experts say.

Many points as erosion of food safety oversight during the Trump administration, stemming in part from its aggressive efforts to roll back regulations and shrink the federal government. Last year, the FDA laid off many of the toll who supported food companies' travel planning and who coordinate with foreign governments on food safety.

An FDA spokesperson said: Praise that "most support staff and staff that coordinate with foreign governments have been reinstated." The administration eliminated a committee tasked with making problems that left to outbreak.

It also cut a program focused on cylopora tracking.

"So far this administration has made our food law safe, not safer," said Scott Pelosi, senior vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group. "By fitting food safety experts, by reducing

the number of inspections by tracking fewer pathogens, and by falling to set up a reasonable system that makes sure that it's to able to clear the choice quickly."

Donald Prater, the FDA's acting deputy commissioner for food, said the government should make sure the information it had on hand. He added that even if the 24-hour rule had been in effect, it would not have made a clear impact on managing this outbreak response.

An FDA spokesperson protesting the nation's food supply system a case-responsibility, and the agency has the personnel and resources to respond to outbreaks of foodborne illnesses.

You feel that it represents no response from Michigan and federal officials to a timely manner.

"We acted immediately, voluntarily and proactively to protect our guests and support health officials. The company said no contention. "Any suggestion that Tac-

Bell was delayed in responding to inaccuracies and does not reflect the full record of our actions or our actions," said with public health officials throughout the investigation. The company added:

"On July 15, federal authorities told the outbreak to reduce food safety and to be supplied to Tom Bell from a plant in Mexico owned by Taylor Farms, a large U.S.-based producer of frozen vegetables, fruits and pears. The next day, Taylor Farms began a recall of its products containing iceberg lettuce that had been shipped to 21 states."

A spokesperson for Taylor Farms said it promptly responded to requests for information and it cooperating with health officials in the U.S. and Mexico. On July 20, it had a designated third party expert to conduct a "sign on bottom corner" of food safety processes there. "The efforts by authorities to augment our how the iceberg lettuce in Mexico became

contaminated by cyclopora, a single-call parasite that infects the small intestine and spreads through feces, intestines to move slowly. Although Taylor Farms temporarily shut down the plant July 18, FDA inspectors did not arrive in Mexico to inspect it until this past week, itself's overall later.

The industry's report on the FDA were delayed in traveling parts because of clearances needed to work in an area directed usually to the areas, according to a person familiar with the effort. Now, was not authorized to speak.

The time met could make rule to reduce over a root cause of the contamination, and handle affairs. CEO of Stop Foodborne Illness, a nonprofit working project appointed the top policymakers of the problems that have happened the response to this outbreak developed over decades. Scientists who state cyclopora and they have lacked the food safety and the food safety parameters, including how it spreads and how to detect it.

Food safety advocates say the goals of a food/salt food safety law enacted in 2011 have not been met amid weak regulations and falling number of foreign food food in many areas.

The state has also requiring companies to verify product records in an outbreak investigation was drafted under that law, the Food Safety Administration Act, which gave the FDA new powers to keep food free of parasites and pathogens, rapidly treat product through the supply chain and aggressively expand importance.

The law set a goal of 9,000 annual foreign importers by FDA. Both foreign importers have fallen markedly even as the foreign food supply has surged. In 2020, the state made 1,000 visits to foreign food plants and road supplies, and it was in 2016.

In late year to the Taylor Farms activity in Mexico was in 2016 records show.

Belgian fire threatens Germany; Greece investigating fatal blaze

By Jean Mélard and Sylvie Goebel ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUBIN/POST, Belgium — One of the latest fire-hazards ever weighed, that is the most of control Monday even as cooler weather and rain in the morning eased conditions for hundreds of fire-hazards. The state and hills countryside.

In Greece, a fire breath-flavored up near the main airport on the outskirts of Athens.

A forest range said the fire in Belgium could continue for months underground in years and and spurns in 2018 flaming.

Europe is swollen by through one of its hardest and driest summers on record, which is most easily said was fueled by climatic change.

Belgium's King Philippe was the first fire-hazard vacation in visit emergency service fighting the wild fire in the eastern High Point, ahead to take down the Grenadines, as it spread out after moving into a pine forest on Sunday.

The fire in Liège previous has been of an estimated 1,000 years, leaving Italy, even if Italy, eased trees and smoldering ground.

While the fire did not significantly grow, due to part to favorable winds, it

remained out of control to areas inaccessible to ground crews, the Wallonia region said in an update.

Some 500 firefighters were asked by an end to an open Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands and local police with drones after a cold from brought overnight into France were helping supply water to firefighting efforts, regional officials said. Male copiers emptied huge sacks of water near the flames as smoke followed from forests.

"We managed to maintain the fire where the farmers are situated, but there could a place which actually has, results, where the fire is still going on in the direction of Munchies in Germany," said Nicolas Bernaut, spokesperson for the Wallonia regional public services.

He said overnight rains report remain the blaze and dampen the possibility that smoldering fires will flare up again, but he said there did not significantly impact the weather of the fire.

A forest ranger from the region told The Associates Press that the blaze could continue for months under ground because of the poorest.

"What we see here is that the grassland has burned, and the flea has gone into the soil to a certain depth, into

the past, and it is still burning," said Fred Payer. "It can go down very, very few in the past here."

He said the fire can continue smoldering largely unseen underground for weeks or months before flaming up again, noting that new flames had already appeared in the past.

Precautionary evacuation orders remained in effect for hundreds of residents.

Veterinarian Hugues Guyrot, who was involved in animal rescue efforts, said large animals were able to flare but smaller ones like frogs and mice likely happened and were baked underground in a landscape of past year.

In Greece, the department investigators examined the area on the island of Salamina where a fast-moving infliction on Sunday killed two people, injured another nine and destroyed several homes. The island has just went of the Greek capital.

Now we still have broke out necessary Monday's because of firefighters along with two water-dropping plants and two helicopters raced to tackle one in Spain, an area out of Athens that includes the main international airport.

The fire department said the blaze was contained within 30 minutes.

Attorneys argue fact, fiction as trial in Shakur's '96 death opens

By Jessica Hill ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — A prosecutor said Monday that while five have been willing to speak about the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, Duma "Kulls P' Dawa is the 'one person who has a hard time being alive!"

"Let's be that Duma Dawa did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation of the footing of the nephew." Chief Deputy Attorney Duma Paul told jurors at the start of Duma Las Vegas trial. "Remarkably, you will have the time Duma Dawa himself."

Dawa, 63, is charged with murder with a health weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal agent in Shakur's death. Paul asked an judge.

His lawyer said the 1996 shooting calls the prosecutor's question: "Which."

If received, Dawa faces life in prison.

Paid showed jurors value of Shakur's entourage attacking Dawa nephew Orkman. "Baby Lane" Anderson intends a boxing match hours before the shooting Sept. 7, 1996. Dawa spent the next two hours playing the top get even, and Paul, and Shakur was granted down "a shot of the gun."

In a 2004 interview with a federal judge, Dawa investigating the killing of Shakur's trial, the rapper Rosecrans R.Ed., Duma should talked about the Shakur shooting. The described handing report to the men in the back coat of a white Cadillac that fell on a BMW with Shakur and Duma "Sage" Knight made.

An airy strike in prison and/or Dawa explaining the moment Shakur was shot, members of Shakur's family, including his brightest daughter, Duma was shot in court, staring ahead.

Paid told jurors Dawa held once a visceral hatred for Shakur for decades that drove him to speak.

He said as early as 1995, the defendant talked to the FBI and admitted he had been at Las Vegas the highest the shooting. He spoke again at 1997 to the FBI and said again he was in Las Vegas then but denied re-arriving. In 2000, he admitted to his role in the killing in an interview with Las Vegas police, Pahl said.

"And now 10 years later, we're going to ask you to finally hold Duma Dawa accountable," Pahl said.

He also showed jurors the 2000 memoir that Dawa is wrote: "Compton Street Legend," that the prosecutors will use and that the defense fought to keep out of the trial, along with several of the information interviews.

Dawa was held the prosecution evening, a blue and red as being sure to his attorney.

"The other has just told you what they believe is the evidence is that you can," attorney Michael Sandi said as jurors in his opening. "What they are telling you, they are representing at last, when it's really fiction."

Sandi said Dawa was a previously charged in the 1996 killing because his enforcement knew that he was "full of age."

Dawa said Dawa "he said to back up what Dawa said is his book."

The defense attorney also pointed to missing documents in the original cross-

tigation and deemed between Los Angeles and Las Vegas police departments.

He called our detectives work "based," "sloppy" and "accomplish." He said retired Detective Clifford Magy and partners of Dawa' book since the record as if it were fact, but said Magy didn't verify claims to it.

Paid within the origins of the final, saying it began to be a "few years ago," "I've been with rival gangs Mob Pins and bomb that Congress Cops. He said Knight employed Mob Pins members at the Death Row Records and Shakur, while not in a gang, was associated with Mob Pins. Dawa was big in the bomb that Congress Cops."

In May, a lawyer, at the shooting, Dawa said the rest of the gangs were back in Congress, driving home like nothing had happened. Pahl said that in the weeks after the killing, a war erupted in the 1990s, the 1990s people were killed and made the people were alive. Pahl said, because "the streets knew the bomb that Congress Cops couldn't be this murder."

The "long wave of red drive by shooting gripped the big-bay community," Dawa said, "the news was charged until Dawa was deferred in 2000."

Burn stop, by where I'm with Trump

President eschews famed phrase, avoids blame for problems

By Will Weiner's ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — It is among the most famous phrase in presidential history. 'The buck stops here,' Excerpt with Pro- sident Donald Trump is above never done.

Concerns about a weak sessions and still high soft- toed His predecessor Pro- sident Joe Riden, said that him with that, he says, even though the Democrat has been, and of office for 10 plus months and despite Trump once promising an immediate turnaround.

The problem digested revising of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Prof That was materially vandal- ism, the Republican president insists, even though the office of a pro-sentor he put in the job but said The change was due to deadly reckoning and

The increasingly suppu- ular war as Iran that has kept all prices high, Trump's approval being low and weak and the government's policy of global economy? Actually, this was Trump making up for trust earlier presidents who, he agrees, squashed to not be the years most pro- sentors to curb (Islamic nuclear ambitions.

Fifty slogans aside, all modern presidents didn't responsibly have others to come in here. Frequently Iran's most pro-sentors who chief who preceded them, Congress — at both.

But Trump has taken it to a merchand, oft-timed out- ducing, do fact-strongly offering in change of everything but responsible for nothing when things go badly.

'Falling a responsibility to foreign interests with a presidential leadership — we're kind of leadership — shouldering true,' said Nicole Anderson, a former professor of human domain's course sity and author of 'Harry A.

Truman: The Coming of the Gulf War.'

Trump's tendency to point fingers at others is increas- ingly in the spotlight before November's midterm state- lines, when Republicans are trying to retain the power of Congress. His unwillingness to accept blame sometimes leads him to deny that their are problems at all, and could leave 2030 leaders in tight races with little resistance to the votes that their concerns are being addressed.

The White House coun- ter that Trump is working to correct long-term long- during charges, not knowing up for hands and ignoring them.

The president's rightfully addressing the disbarred the predecessors while taking action to deliver big war for the American people,' spokesperson Tedie Rogers said, pointing to a series of policies that she said Repub- licans can run on, including tax cuts, efforts to lower

prescription drug prices, including direct on ammuni- tion and the U.S. Mexico border, increasing domo- to energy production and a strong stock market.

Truman forecasts kept a 'this time' when there's signs to his desk as president. That came from 'pass the back,' which, according to Truman president's literar- dance columnist times, what later players would pass — but divers handle kicks to the person whose turn it was to deal the rank. It's player didn't want to deal, they could pass the back to the next player.

'The president, whoever he is, has to decide,' Truman said during his farewell address in 1995. 'He can't pass the back to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job.'

The understanding of the phrase has become an over the years to include taking responsibility for the

outcome of tough decisions. Trump said to express an terror before, saying he had not that in running a business. 'Whatever happens, you'll responsible. If it doesn't happen, you'll responsible.'

Truman said, 'We don't have dental nomination, Trump said, 'We help' knows the system better than us, which is why I don't care for it.'

But as president, the office, supported that the president's blame ran elsewhere. 'The buck stops with everybody,' Trump said in 2016 during lengthy government chambers. In 2020, on the same day he declared the coronavirus pandemic's national emergency, he said, 'I don't take responsibility at all' he claim. 'COVID-19 stung.'

Andover said Truman took full responsibility for dropping atomic bombs on Japan even though he was not informed that the U.S. was developing such ways

ons until his predecessor, President Franklin Dukes Roosevelt, died.

President John F. Kennedy said his approval stringe out after he acknowledged he was to blame for the failed Republican business in Cuba. President Ronald Reagan said, he was never been misdi- mined he may have had in the from-Country, so could even make having been seen and he was to blame. 'The buck stops were with me,' he said then.

At President George W. Bush died news conference in early 2019. Bush listed a series of mistakes he had made, including failing to find response of mass destruction in Iraq. His successor, Pro- sident Ronald Obama, said, 'I wondered up' what the main- ner for health chief, Tom Danville, withdrew because of unpaid back taxes.

President before Trump 'truly usually take account ability,' Andover said.

The president acknowledged its concern. Presidency interview that voters are angry, he he said they are not real of him but of congress- ional Republicans.

Trump believes his party is a hold for congressional majorities after Novem- ber, but he was clear that if Republicans lose, it won't be his fault — solving his compassionate business. The midterm that he would not accept blame is the years he the blame, which it did.

Trump's approval rating on the economy, once seen as among his strong con- tors, has fallen through out his time in office, from 1995 in March 2020 to 1715 in July, according to Ameri- can Press. NPRC Center for Public Affairs Research polling.

About 4 in 10 U.S. adults say his economic policies been made economic condi- tion worse, according to Pew Research Center polling.

In her memoir, 'This Is Me A Red-boring,' Panettiers doctored herself as an 'opti- nist to the core' who refused to be defined by tragedy.

'One thing I know from my 10 years in the police eye is the Life is a process that overlies day by day, year by year and — like it or not — you are engaged in a cycle of growth until the moment you take your last breath,' she wrote.

50 years ago, 'Roots' burst into American lives

img-57.jpeg

There was a time when a book could shake the world and on Aug. 17, 1976, a book titled 'Roots: The Saga of an American Family' by Alex Haley arrived on bookstore shelves and immediately began to fly off those shelves and into apartments and homes across the country, starting a cultural/ramble and sparking national conversations about race and slavery.

Eminement had been building quietly for weeks. Then came the reviews, carried in daily newspapers and feeling the fanfare. Writing in the New York Times, James Baldwin began his review with, 'I cannot guess what Alex Haley's countrymen will make of his but thrice present to us during this election and I recommend your' and went on to tell us what he had made of it, writing, 'Alex Haley's taking us back through time to the village of his ancestors in an act of faith and courage, but this book is also an act of love, and it is this which makes it haunting.'

Before publication, a TV deal had been struck, and within the first six months, 1.5 million hardcover copies were sold (357 pages priced at $32.50). Publisher Doubleday had to play catch-up, since it had an initial print run of only 200,000 copies, and scrambled to meet the demand with

14 subsequent printings. The book would eventually sell more than 4 million copies, with National Book Award, a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation and an NAACP Sprague's Medal.

The book spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller list, was translated into more than 10 languages, began to find its way onto the reading line in high school and college classrooms, and saw amateur genealogists pouring into libraries, county courthousen and thirty archives.

It made a star of Haley, who was a boycotted 20-year veteran of the Coast Guard, where he taught himself to write. He then worked as an editor for Reader's Digest and later created the antenatal series of Playboy interviews, conducting the first with musician Miles Davis and also profiling in print Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis Jr., Rev. Martin

Luther King Jr., and American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Beckwell.

In 1965, he collaborated with the subject on 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X,' which became a best-seller. He then devoted more than a decade researching and traveling and writing 'Roots,' Haley's story of his family's passage from an ancestral home in Africa to slavery in America and, finally, to freedom.

Then, of course, came the ABC miniseries 'Roots,' which aired over eight consecutive nights in January 1977 on ABC and finished audience record. It attracted an estimated 150 million to 500 million total viewers, which meant an astonishing 80% of American homes with television started in to watch.

It was generally surged by critics,

After eight years of writing about Chicago theater, I'm always excited to discover new, or new to me, companies in this city of 200-plus theatres. It's even better when the show is as excellent as 'Anatomy of a Suicide,' now playing at Redtwist Theatre's Edgewater venue in a coproductively the Metal Shop Performance Lab (founded in 2010) and JunkHeart (crowd effective). In this revival of British playwright Alice Birch's 2007 drama, director Alex Malkey's cast rises to the challenge of a technically demanding script without losing hold of its emotional core. Their stellar performances exemplify Chicago storefront theater at its finest.

Anchoring the 10-person cast are Tatiana Pavela or Carol, Tapp Lauren as Carol's daughter, Anna, and Isabel Lee Rodan as Anna's daughter, Bonnie. When we first meet Carol in the 1960s, the young married woman has put survived a suicide attempt and wears a hospital gown with bandages on her wrists (costumes by Kat Poon). Anna's introduction also occurs in a hospital, where she's recovering from an overdose. With Bonnie, the roles are reversed — she's a doctor working in an emergency room but carries

generational scars beneath her main demeanor.

For the bulk of the play, Birch overlays two or three scenes on top of each other, requiring the actors to deliver their dialogue with proxies (doing to capture the repetition and mirroring embedded in the text). From a craft standpoint, it's certainly an impressive feat, but this structure often prevents the individual viewer from taking in the full nuance of performances happening on opposite ends of Redtwist's long, narrow stage. That's really the only downside to this production, with an

After over 40 years of marriage, unhappy spouse weighs divorce

img-60.jpeg

Dear Ben: What should one consider if thinking about a divorce? My spouse and I have been married for more than 40 years, the first 40 were very positive. We both worked in every net today. Now, we've supported our loving of each other and had many wonderful experiences.

Now, over time in netានbide, the first has become unpleasant. We both had a major health issue and supported each other through it. However, my spouse has been a long time and critical toward me, which is wearing us me. Couples therapy isn't an option.

Even though we have a wonderful history, I'm not sure I want to be the remainder of my life like this. I know I could go by financially, although the divorce process itself would undoubtedly be fraught.

However, I can't see what the future would live like alone as a currently active senior citizen, so I will attack.

What can you suggest be me to help work through this decision?

— On the Corp

Dear Gage: I'm sure you're your marriage, but because I did call for you. Changes in life can, of course, change the way marriages work, spouses have no influence on more than 40 years, they are throughout a union.

But the negativity and criticism you've sprues is exhibiting makes that hard, and it's not fair. This will be healthy for either of you.

You write that couples counseling isn't an option. In this two year year spouse won't agree to go? That's a huge roadblock for many

couples. If your spouse achieves ledges that there is a problem but won't do anything to do it, it puts you in a bind.

You do have options, however. First, you can explore therapy on your own. Even if you were going to couples counseling, I'd encourage you to also talk with someone one-on-one so that you can process your feelings and make plans for the future with their own.

The moment I received your spouse that you're going to therapy and talk about why You might explain that part of your nicotine addiction, and you want to have a better quality of life. It can be come your to take life, love and long-term compassionate for greater health and social support, and that they are gifts, and with therapy, we can continue to appreciate them and narrate the story.

Also consider talking to a divorce attorney. You are not sure you're anything. Right now, the future probably looks daunting and buys. Being able to think through your family and family question, as well as your possibilities for social support, will give you more information with which to make a decision.

Dear Ben: I qualify for a home cleaning service through a city program for low-income residents. They have different groups of contractors under one main organization. Rooms like I get somebody from a different service every other week.

I assumed they would use the product if have on hand, but one of them insisted that I had to give her $25 to buy the product in the first time, claiming that a better think anything I had was effective.

That really set me back. I know that I pay on a sliding scale, and I couldn't afford to pay much before this started. But all of the other

cleaners that come are willing to use what I already have.

I already hinted to the experience that I want the $25 to go toward you. Well, but the only appeal it was a big shock to me. I probably can't get certified gifts she wanted me to drive to the store to buy the stuff.

— In the RAY that I do anything?

— Say 'Bobby' Bish

Dear Ben: The cleaner is available to her preference regarding products, but it doesn't set right that she insisted you give her money. These, at least, she left the product to your home instead of taking them with her when she left.

However, if she was unwilling to do the cleaning with the product, it was easy available, she should have declined the placement or talked to the program supervisor about how to best see herself and the cleaning for success.

Now, someone at this point is talking directly to the supervisor rather than basing about your displeasure. Anyone your problem should bring changed extra, explain how this differs from what you would expect of this professional's leadership, and ask what the future, you not be assigned any cleaners who will change you extra.

It may not be within the program's pressure or budget to refund you the money at this point, but it's worth asking what, if anything, they can do to help offset the unexpected cost.

Should this situation ever arise again, it's hard to publicly decline and even forget the work I do using before taking out your walks.

Still, Vernon Jordan, executive director of the National Urban League, called "Rover," "the single most spectacular educational experience in race relations in America." And the miniseries were into Princeton Emory, but only out of 17 nominations, a Golden Globe Award for best TV series and a Double Award. I have to assume that many of you reading this did not encounter "Rover," the book or the miniseries, the first time around Two decades is a long time and so I reread the book, available in many features, and rewarmed the series, which

can be had on a couple of streaming services. The series is more male-feminist than I remember, but filled with some fine performances in particular Le Var Burton, John Ames, Ben Nevsen and Cindy Tyner. The book holds up Haley could write and the story is compelling, though I could not shake some of the shadows that have attended it for a long time.

Shortly after the book was published, criticism came finally, most focusing on the book's historical sources and genealogical fabric above. Though it was marketed as nonfiction,

historious and journalistic pointed out that Haley established family law, relied too heavily on the unreliable or allitarianism in Africa, and, most docilely, ends from Harold Court and/or Loved "The African."

Court under word for plagiarism in 1974. Though Haley claimed he had never read Court since it book, he agreed to pay a $600,000 settlement, surely furnishing the book's reputation and diminishing its impact. But there are many who don't care about the issue one of them can be found in the current case of Time magazine, an intriguing

essay by Anna Haley. "Also Haley was one father's older brother. I asked him," she writes. "How does a single book at once condemn and captivate a nation? Fifty years ago this August, Rover did just that."

She addresses the trouble, writing, "But long after Rover publication, Uncle Alex was challenged by critics who questioned the accuracy of its timeline and suggested the great told him what he wanted to hear. But as many historic law pointed out, to be an unspecific dates or dialogue is to miss the larger truth. As my uncle told me journal-

ist, 'Neither you nor I know exactly what happened. But I actually 'Rover' as a symbol of the first of my people.'

Haley would write one book after "Rover." He bought a lot of books, coming into at one time. He was married three times, had four children and died in 1993. He was roughly $2.5 million in debt, and problem, mortgage claims and family settlements forced a public section of his personal belonging. Among the items offered was his 1977 Pulitzer Prize. It finished $10,000.

'ANATOMY'

from Page B7

maverick, the strong, I don't want to miss a best. Though it finds with heavy topics, including substance addiction, postpartum depression and electrocautism therapy, "Anatomy of a Suicide" finds enough moments of beauty and hope that the darkness doesn't always be of344m/640s. These memories usually come in the form of human connection, such as Carol promising her infant daughter that she'll try hard to stay with her, Anna sharing a wedding dance with her father (Joshua Razer's) and Bonnie (constrictly opening up to more romantic partner (Allysa C. Torres).

Lauren, a recent DuPaul Master of Fine Arts graduate who previously appeared in Inquirer of Globe Theaters ("Elopian") gives a timeless performance as Anna. The middle link in this three-generation chain, Anna comes off as vulnerable has not helped, fragile but not weak, while her loosening grip on easily after giving birth surpasses man's an eightfold roadscraw. Punch and Reuben also deliver continuing and poignant performances in the other principal roles. By the time these three take their lives at certain call, you want to

buy each of their characters and buy them to stay in the world of the living.

But it's dialogue in rich in setting and unique elements that are subtly enhanced by iconic and lighting designer Daphne Agusin, sound designer Gina Montalvo and people designer Lulu Ramos. In a quiet locale not wanted, by plant trees, the family house serves as both a peaceful oasis and a painful reminder of trauma in the house is put into the rough fire generations. Agusin' imagery flows through the play on a similarly meandering path, tracing salty tracks down a check-or-buckering as a final means of you get.

"Anatomy of a Suicide" raises difficult questions about determination and agency as they relate to generalized trauma. The personal costs and moral complexities of bringing new life into this world are also at play, culminating in a key decision made by Rosine toward the end. Again, the show manages to be tragic but not devastating, a delicate balance that's typically important in any piece of art that addresses mental health. Mallery and team have done a beautiful job of making Birelli's shorter play. Hoven, and I'd encourage any fan of serious Chicago style acting to see this production before its limited run ends.

Clint, mysteriously exempt from the draft, ends up marrying his older brother Vance's girlfriend after they're mistakenly informed of his death. When Vance returns home, jealousy and other issues rock the family, and eventually Clint dies in a chemical following a chain robbery, which same fans were not pleased with, despite it making quite the memorable ending.

Special episodes of "Ghosts" for Halloween and Christmas are in the works. GBS

TV Q&A

Will 'Ghosts' materialize this fall?

By Rich Haidenfels TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Q: I've seen a lot of my favorite shows are coming back in the fall, but I haven't seen anything about "Ghosts." Do you know if it will be back?

A: The popular CBS comedy will be back on the network, but not on a weekly basis until "the second half of the broadcast season," the network said. That -- along with a similar date of "Michael" -- makes room in the schedule to try out new series. CBS does have plans for a pair of "Ghosts" specials, a Halloween, directed one Oct. 29 and "Ghostman" Dec. 30. Each special will include two episodes.

Q: Are there any members who have been "America's Got Talent"? I saw a lot of acts that "the directly from Japan" or other countries, just in addition. But they are not American: Why are acts from other countries allowed to compete on "GET"? It makes it feel that the show should be called something else. A: While various have questioned the before, there are rules. They require a would-be, a smart-tant to state. "I am either (i) a United States citizen, (ii) a legal permanent resident of the United States or (iii) am in the United

States legally at the time of my initial audition, and I am also not and agree that I will be required to have appropriate visa status in the United States that allows me to compete on the Program prior to live shows." There are other rules as well, such as "I am not currently a candidate for public office, and if selected to participate in the Program, I agree that I will not become a candidate for public office until at least one (1) year after the initial broadcast of the final episode of the Program in which I appear." You can find the complete eligibility requirements at www.syrianaltimes.com.

As for the same, it is American branded the ones well, it am in America and to distinguish it from the many other "Got Talent" shows in countries around the world.

Q: Will there be a second season of "Little House on the Prairie"?

A: The Netflix drama, based on the Laura Spiggle Willah books that also inspired a long-running NBC series, was picked up for a second season even before the first star aired. According to Netflix's Thailand movie, "Season 2 will introduce one of the most social characters from Laura Spiggle Wilder's world. Nellie Olsson, Laura's ulti-

nuze rival, played by Willah Stone." TV fans will recall that Alison Arrigs on played Nellie in the old series's Meeting the Offenses to part of the family's move to Walnut Grove, which was set up at the end of the first season of the new series.

Q: I was wondering if you could tell me how to view the romances "Rich Man, Poor Man," which was big around 1972 or '73.

A: "Rich Man, Poor Man," based on Irwin Shaw's novel about two brothers (played by Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss), was a huge hit in 1978 and paved the way for other big miniseries such as "Roms," which premiered the follow-up year. "BOBYIE" even inspired a sequel, "Rich Man, Poor Man — Book II," in 1979. "I'll dial not find a streaming source for the original program. Then have been DVD release with both the original series and "Book II." Although Amazon nominee comments are critical of some on national grounds, the old A&E Home Video set is adequate.

Horoscopes

If August 18 is your birthday: One of the last remaining obstacles for 2026 could clear almost immediately, and it's likely that the worst was larger than the problem to begin with. What remains of the year should be much easier... The next wave of gifts from

the Universe likely drops Jan. September, July 9 October. Artes (March 25-April 19): Let the solution emerge, it's unlikely to be under today's below-zero stars. Thursday or Friday are much better days for new beginnings with better odds. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Home concerns could be blown out of proportion now; the improved stars of later this week could bring a new perspective.

Gemini (May 15-June 20): Don't let yourself get shackled by a belief that limits you about how to make things happen. Want to see future something bothering you, it could be just based on current stars and may resolve on its own.

Cancer (June 25-July 22): Keep fingers off humour and make no major purchases today, no matter how soon the 'great deal' ends. Things bought during underwater stars seldom perform, satisfy, or endure well.

Leo (July 23-Aug 22): There could be a lot of pressure that could be hard to release constructively now — if you can delay a conversation a few days it could be more productive. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If it's troubling you, try to either process and release it, or compartmentalize it for new until better stars bring a better path forward.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Support a friend or ask for help if you're the one feeling involved. Even small purchases could be driven by the wrong reasons now, wait a couple of days until your mind is more pragmatic.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22): Avoid any career moves now, not only are Universal stars well below zero, but your career sector is dissatisfied for another day or two.

Sugitarium (Dec. 23-Dec. 22): Your inner world could be disordered for a day or two; do what you can to stay grounded and make no major decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 19): Financial fears coupled with underwater stars could drive extremely poor choices with potentially negative consequences.

Aquarius (Jan. 29-Feb. 18): Remaining neutral and staying on point with what's appropriate should keep you headed in the right direction.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Stars are uncooperative for feeling confident and the below-zero day is my means to be support from the Universe, but all this should change within a day or two.

Hara was South in

today's deal, from

toured quite rudely.

He opened one heart

with his fine hand and

his next decision was

at the five level. He

chose to double rather than bid for diamonds. This looks like the winning decision, as he would have three certain hours in a heart contract and South's five-club contract appears to have two diamond hours and at least one spade hour.

Hara could force one heart winner by playing the king of hearts from damsry at trick one. One heart winner was not enough to be played the right from damsry. Looking at the heart spots, East knew that his partner had either three hearts or one. Deciding that there was more likely, East played the 10 of hearts at trick one. Hara ruffled, played two rounds of chiles ending in damsry, and led the king of hearts, ruffled their two. Hara had a spade to damsry race and curbed the queen of hearts, discarding a spade. When the jack fell from West Hara had the second spade discord that he needed. He conceded two diamond tricks to the defense and claimed the rest. Well done!

Crosstown Fall Classic?

It's never too soon to think about a Cubs-White Sox World Series

Paul Sullivan

IN THE WAY OF THE NEWS

Where were you in the summer of 2026?

If you're old enough to remember, you probably were watching your favorite Chicago baseball team and dreaming of a crosstown World Series.

Until this year, 2009 was the last fall season the Cubs and Sox played each other in the regular season with realistic dreams of a World Series rematch.

It didn't happen, of course, but it could this time with a little luck. ESPN put the odds of a Cubs-Sox World Series at 6-3,

which seems low.

"Sign me up," Cubs manager Craig Counsel said. "I'm on for all the fun, everything. You want to hype it up! All of it. I'm sure (Sox manager Will Venable) and I are both in."

I've covered every City Series from 1997, and written about all 100 games, including Monday night's series opener at Wrigley Field. I even went to one at Coniskey Park on Aug. 7, 1995, when the city scheduled a pair of exhibition games to welcome back the teams after a players' strike. They were called "Mayor Byrne's Charity Games," and Mayor Jane Byrne was seen hobnobbing with Andy the Clown, while Cubs manager Joey Amelitzano and young Sox manager Tony La Riana faced off. But the golden years of the

How Cubs will handle Swanson missing 4 weeks with oblique strain

By Meghan Montamurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Cubs are hopeful that short-sing Dandey Swanson will be back in the lineup before the regular season ends.

Swanson went on the 10-day injured last Monday after an MRE showed a left oblique strain that forced him to exit Sunday's game.

Additionally, the Cubs put right-hander Edward Cabrera on the 15-day IL due to a right middle-finger Winter and recalled right-hander Javier Asnal. They also recalled outfielder Kevin McIntyre, optimized infielder James Traxmo and called up infielder Owen Miller.

Right-hander Daniel Palencia was transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man runter spot for Miller, though that doesn't change Palencia's timeline to return since he's been on the IL dating back to

June 16.

The Cubs estimate Swanson will be out for one month with the injury, putting the 12-year-old on track to return with about two weeks left on the schedule. This is Swanson's first time on the IL since May 2024 when he missed 10 days due to a right knee sprain.

"Daddy's already ready to attack the injury and do whatever he can to make this go as quick as possible," manager Craig Counsel said Monday. "I don't know if there's any other losing to this, but we'll get Dandey back this year."

While Swanson is side-lined, expect to see a regular middle infield of Nico Hoerner shifting to shortstop and Pedro Ramirez at second base. Matt Shaw will eventually be in the race, too, as he's on track to return from his left hand.

Veteran DE Davenport signed

By Brad Biggs

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Bears will see if they can turn back the clock with defensive end Marcus Davenport and squeeze some production out of the former first-round draft putt.

The Bears on Monday signed the ninth-year veteran, who came in for a physical Sunday to come year contract. CBS Sports first reported the news.

The move remains Davenport with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was in the same role with the New Orleans Saints when they drafted Davenport with the No. 14 picken 2008 out of Texas-San Antonio.

img-139.jpeg

■ Swanson opener: Bears at Panthers, noon Sept. 13, 8am-32

The Bears are the third NFC North team in four years to employ Davenport, who turns 10 on Sept. 4, and health has been an issue. He started for the Detroit Lions at the beginning of last season but suffered a chest injury in the World J-into over the Bears that ever has to injured reserve. He wound up playing eight games with one sack and three quarterback hits.

Davenport's 2024 season in Detroit was limited to two games by a triage injury. He had two sacked four games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2023, when a high-skife sprain forced him to lift for much of the season.

Davenport had 107 s sacks in his first two seasons playing for Allen and turned in a career-best nine sacks in 2023. But in 29 games over the last four seasons, he has only four sacks and 39 QB hits.

It's a no-risk move for Bears general manager Ryan Peles, but unless the 6-foot-6, 264-pound Davenport can recognize the kind of production he had five years ago.

Lynch's 'guiseful' to be competing for DL spot

img-140.jpeg

The focus at defensive tackle in Bozen training camp has belonged to certain with round pick, to date van den Berg, whose prodigious power has been used to spot in one one on which as he has topped around some offensive lineovers.

The game was a major factor in the field of Saturday's possession against one home Lynch, especially a one-year, 16.1% million contract as March with 2025/2026 game-related. Lynch's one-time game was the tackle's one quarterback hit and one quarterback miss. Northtrump will show a lot more than that.

At the end of the second quarter, Lynch's second Bivens quarterback Bradshaw Winnon for a 4-year loss, along with the two-way lead out by defensive holding on rookie cornerback Nick McSharwood II. On the next way, Winnon was forced to socialise for a 1-year game when Lynch finished him out of the pocket. On the subsequent stage, Lynch had a reserve speed 3x2.0 catchy badly and hit Winnon on an insure right in the line.

Getting into the quarterback's kitchen in three consecutive plays is impressive until, and the three have to determine how meaningful it is considered the hailings on the Bivens offensive line at the time.

The Bozen expert Lynch, a seventh-year pro-in-mot in three situations, and he did. The next step will be wrong, what he can do against frontline players in the team with through a competitive battle for roster spots.

Lynch has an interesting story. He was the Big 12 defensive player of the year in 2005 when he had 10.1% and he was a display record with 22 in his career. The Minnesota Vikings decided him in the fourth round, and he played two victories for them for three seasons before missing 2025 after suffering costs. ACL is training camp.

He was starting to come on for the Chicago when he got back and he always has been a lot of a free time. Lynch's fourth player, defensive lead, the base and has been primarily a tackle in the NFL. He weighs 300 pounds and has played mostly tackle since arriving at thicker full, but he was at end on some 2-under-10 times.

Marbo has shown wasn't a great fit for Lynch because it is a New Orleans, but Tim never going to blame a future. "Lynch said, 'I would say I have to play better. That's my real lead play better. You have to learn as much as on. It's a different game. There's not just one reason.'"

Lynch has had his nearsmen in training camp but health is growing. He sports and is playing among after Saturday's game, knowing his profile has helped between on-stage that will catch the attention

of coaches and the front office. "That has, honestly," he said. "That's what you do to know. You learn not to take it for granted. The Bozen put a power on me to go play, so I am grateful. Can't lose your love for the game?"

That's refreshing to hear from a journeyman veteran who is battling to claim a spot in the edge of the roster. In situations that can be heard and take an extremely physical will on players — and Lynch has been there with the ACL war — he is always in the opportunity to continue playing a game that has been top player in him all along. His middle scorer is Phyllis, a short, his system made because he has been a 1-year, 16-hole player. It is a 2-under-10 times. Lynch was really healthy this offseason after playing in all 17 games for the Texas last seasons (3-16 stage), and he jumped at the offer from the Bozen.

"I had injuries in the past, but coming off last year. I didn't really have any," he said. "Being able to fully train during the offseason with a shot mind and being confident, the mental game was, hear about, you don't realize how powerful it can be. You have to trust yourself."

"There's no system Lynch caught the Bozen' attention Saturday. They need to no bimbo production against starting linemen, and he earned that opportunity."

MALIN MUHAMMAD'S DISNY PLAY NCKEL CONNIBERLY IN THREE SEASONS AT TEXAS

But a lot of NFL teams that spoke with him in the product process indicated that could be his destined position. The Bozen player has been the 4x4 Saturday and it's worth wondering if the latest injury in the secondary-safety Xavier Woodside the game with a given issue — could lead to more training there for Muhammad.

Veteran Cam Lewis was primarily a role hit at the center of training camp but skills also more safety when Carly Evans went down with a left knee injury. That created more earnings in the 4x4 for Muhammad, especially with Aiden, Iwane and with an ankle speed.

More information is needed on Wood's status, but with Kylie Gordon's potential return

nowhere is right, maybe we'll see more of Muhammad at task site the team ahead.

It really doesn't matter to me," Muhammad said. "Since I'm hearing (in fact), I prefer to play more nickel than corner right now!"

He feels silly, the bozen likes to come out on their defensive backs as they can handle multiple roles. It makes them more very little play by playing a game that is a 2-under-10 times. Allies are raised flexibility, and it makes it easier to juggle through changes, something that has happened too often since camp opened.

Nickel comes back in coach Cannon Matthews and the Bozen is a 2-under-10 times. The team made the inside and outside to develop the fourth round pick.

One goal is always to come true," Matthews said. "Obviously in a game, play work, more of your attention may go (to one position), but you never know what is going to happen during the course of a game. Our best option might be to put the inside piece outside and get someone else inside. So we never stop that."

Muhammad made few tackles in Saturday's game, and one was a really nice read in which he diagnosed a severe pain and shot through left tackle Sprague, Iwane and left guard Conley to tackle running back Dylan Sampson for no gain.

"I was going through my keys and I saw all the 15 linemen arising to come out, and then I saw the back and he was on next line," Muhammad said. "I knew I had gone between the linemen, so I was made censor."

He got tagged with a defensive holding call — a defensive learning point — but the Bozen like his aggressive and confident only.

"You just try not to overload him between myself and Cannon," defensive leader coach Al Harris said. "You just try not to go to him too much. We have a complete scheme, so we've got to give them the details he also remember that you want them to be functional in both spots."

In the Muhammad has been the 17th injuries in the secondary — with Wood's going out Saturday — could dictate the next move for Muhammad, although it is notable that is on the back. The longer Bivens was didn't practice. Thursday and was held out of the game.

Trophies show Thuney has little left to prove

By Phil Thompson

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago Bears left guard Joe Thuney has 10 seasons, 23 playoff games and four Super Bowl championships under his belt, yet it never proved.

Thuney has missed the postseason just once, with the 2020 New England Patriots, but he found last season's playoff on, his first with the Bears, to be given their rookie status.

"It's special seeing no more than videos after the game," he told reporters after Sunday's training camp practice at Hilda Hall. "We had a lot of time game and wins, but the 2-under-10 times. I'm going to be a big game, and I'm going together."

"The Chicago Bears are such an iconic franchise, and it's great the Chicago Bears being back in the specific — get a win (and) win the NFL's."

However, no one in the building has been resting on their laurels. Thuney said.

"That's what's so cool is there's still a very, very, strong learning budget and better to push more and keep going, keep improving," he said. "So there's a lot still left to do."

Thuney finished last season with his fourth straight Pro Bowl and third straight first video All-Pro selects to second his fifth total All-Pro lead. He won the WTA's management. Protector of the Year award in February, 2025, he does a total Pro game! To make him the league's top interior offensive lineover.

But in Thuney's mind, there's a lot left for him to do too.

"I'm always humbling and exciting when you see your name attached to those kinds of things," he said. "But at the end of the day, I am really

concerned with how the team does and just wants to earn the season 1/2 and just really keep playing in the full still, want to be one there with the guys. That's what it is all about."

He added that his productive season wasn't created in a vacuum.

Thuney placed into the first 10 tackles last season — and had to play the position himself in a divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams because of Very Trophie's lone injury. To his right, he had come to New Orleans, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl before retiring in March.

"I'm just a small part in a big machine and have used to drop part that out to me," he said.

He hopes to maintain an elite level, though he leaves him there. He's at the stage where the team provides a new date from practice.

"It's different as you get older," he said. "You gain some experience, but physically your body is different than what you are at 25."

At some point Thuney has to contemplate the inevitable — the season of his career.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded him in March 2025 to create side-by-side game and rejuvenate their roster. Two months after acquiring him, the Bears signed Thuney to a two-year common share worth $7 million and raise through the 2027 season.

As it has his entire career, during the tournament — a deep played run — the season is a good one.

"I still love working to get wins and trying to get together good seasons, but I still love playing and love competing and the playmaking again of the Bears," Thuney said. "A lot of great things going on. I just want to contribute what I can."

the new center is along shot to add a job to the pace rush.

The Bears' top three defensive ends right now are Maroto Swoot, Austin Boaker and Dave Odor. In the end they could be searching for a fourth option with 2025 second round pick Maroys. Swoot expected to remain on the physical's rookie record even for one of the regular season as he receives from a turn ACL suffered at October.

Duniel Harris is expected to make the roster as a special team

at a level and occasional defensive end. James Krumah had six tackles, three ends, and 10 second fumbles in Saturday's 14-10 procession victory over the Cleveland Browns, the kind of outing that gives him a little momentum for a roster push. Krumah spent much of the last two seasons on the practice again.

The Bears also signed cornerback Deloitte Price, a fifth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024. We've played, address for a secondary team, a possible 2nd injuries. Running back Coleman Bennett was scored and right and Nikola Kalisic was waived injured.

D'Avilla shines early to help spoil coach's debut

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dr. D'Avilla had a goal and an answer to the first 14 minutes, yet the Chicago Fire spoiled the debut of Portland Timbers coach Mark Cifuentes with a 2-14 victory Sunday at Indian Field.

D'Avilla's end of the second week was a goal by Robin Lodi in the sixth minute and then scored for the first time this season five minutes later to give the Fire a 2-0 lead.

Deloitte's first two numbers and had an assist, his fourth, on LoS's fourth goal. Many of their failures notched the seventh point — one of his career high — on D'Avilla's goal.

Deloitte's first four numbers and

had in the 89th minute to score his first career goal in 51 appearances and cut it to 21. Deborah Bradford Roe and the 2-0 lead was a second, and Ariel Lander, a second-half substitute, was crushed with his fourth.

Chris Brady had one saw for the Fire (10-4-2).

James Patterson stopped two shots for the Timbers (7-4-3), who made their first trip to Chicago in eight years. North's longer had a saw in the first half.

The Fire moved into that place in the Eastern Conference with the victory.

Cifuentes is the Timbers' fifth head coach.

HEATTLE — Karolila Cardone has 2 games and 12 wks each Natasha Cloud scored 29 points and the Chicago Fire ended a 6-game losing streak on the road with an 82-90 victory over thechurch Beers on Sunday.

The Beers (7-20) ended 53-37 with a 64 left in the third quarter, but Dominique Malonga answered with a leader and two new ones. He had a 2-0 lead in the second week and made a two-7 win each back to back 1 point on to say all 4 runs in Seattle closed to 60-55 leading to the fourth.

The Normpolled within a point,

but Courtney Vandehoof sank the second of two free throws for the fire (21-22) with 10 runs in 6 left, and his first 2-0 lead was a 6-game losing long at the tractor. Vandehoof finished with 18 points, five rebounds, five assists and four ends.

The Beers made the first bullet, but Cardone scored as points in an 18-9 run and the Sky never traded.

Malonga had 19 points and 13 rebounds for fourth, which had snapped an 10-game losing streak with a 47 left in the two-7th-14ning Sky on Monday. But Malonga had 27 points and then scored 14 of the bench.

CITY SERIES

Sox taking day-to-day approach with pitching

By LaMendi Pope

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Davis Martin is on the injured list. Noah Schultz is in Triple A.

What options do the White Sox have to provide length on Tuesday and Wednesday during the City Series?

'If I've day by day here,' manager Will Venable said before Monday's game at Wrigley Field. 'We're going to figure out where we're at after (Monday's game). We have some availability limitations in our ballpen that can impair some things. So we'll kind of see where we're at, do some inventory and then make a decision for (Tuesday) after (Monday's game, and we'll probably do the same thing for (Wednesday) after (Tuesday) if game, we'll be able to make that decision.'

The starters for Tuesday and Wednesday against the Cubs were listed as 'to be announced' Eddie Sanders Kirk, Eddie and José Urquide could be used in some fashion during the event.

Bodie dished to clogly provide after the Sox acquired Luis Catillo — Monday's starter — Aug. 1 from the Seattle Mariners. In four relief outings since then, Eddie has a 942 ERA — allowing eight earned runs and 1,000 in 7-1 innings with three strikeouts and four walks

That included a stretch of pitching in three out of four days against the Boston Red Sox (Aug. 4 and Aug. 6) and Cleveland Guardians (Aug. 7). 'It's been a crazy two weeks,' Eddie said before Monday's game. 'I had like, uniform, notch, we've had some madness just with the Boston sense and then the (Cincinnati) series (pitching on Aug. 2) after Martin was expected. So it's been kind of a weird couple weeks for me. But, yeah, doing my best to adjust, and

help the guys out however I can.'

Overall, Bodie is 6-4 with a 4.5 ERA in 26 appearances (32 starts).

'I know it's not easy,' Venable said of the transition for Eddie. 'I'm sure, well I don't want to assume frustration, but I know it's not easy when you have instability or kind of not certain of what your role is going to be on a given day. From Dec 1, Eddie has been in open trolling different ways that we've used him. He's been such a pro about it.'

'As much as it is a pro, it's not easy for him. It's a new challenge now, being used in the ballpen open allu city and randomly in our home to how we are going to see him next. That's what makes him special. He can do a lot of different things for you, he's open to doing a lot of different things for you, and just want to do everything he can to help the team win even though it might be tough for him personally.'

Urquide said, 'In Sox, Eddie on Friday at Detroit after joining the team from Triple A. Chadden's then that game. He allowed three runs to slow him with three strikeouts in 2-1's innings and recorded the victory in the 9-5 win.

'I was running for this chance for a long time,' Urquide said after the outing. 'I'm here right now and running it with this team.' One reason Eddie and Urquide are in a

position to potentially help in the boost that Sean Newcomb provided over the weekend.

'I'm left hunder served as the opener in the game United's own on Friday, striking our two and walking over in 1-1 before innings. And with Grant Taylor and Bryan Hudson unavailable after pitching Friday and Saturday, Newcomb pitched the final 2-1 innings of Sunday's 7-5 win. He struck out two and walked one while out allowing a hit.

'Everyone kind of picked each other up,' Newcomb told the Tribune on Monday. 'The offense, too, the offense was great. Facing some good pitching, all the way around, it was good game.'

Venable added: 'It was really cool what (Newcomb) did, so open up the series there and then finish it. And to have everything that happened to between was awesome, too. In the first two weeks, the next time moved for us, some than this a really big way. There could be little way there, who is so sure really big innings and some really big spots. One of those guys that wanted the moment.'

Venable picked ways so far that next moment remains to be sure.

'We really are nice to do here with this,' Venable said, 'just because of the usage we have had over this last series and then just not having really starters.'

Cubs, the rivalry wave from 2006-10, when we released the pro, is not limited to, Michael Barrett pour long A.J. Parayynski, the wild has heard in Section 530 of Sox Park. Sox Carlos Zambraco-Darrell Lee dogged scuffly, Cubs manager Luis Fonda in filing William Bradley to go home and calling him a 'piece of chitney' and Sox manager Dixon Guillen insisting the Wrigley Field can wave as big as pigs, adding, 'I think they've sat there lifting weights' in the homing cap.

Neither team went to a World Series in those five years, but you couldn't ask for a course atmosphere or more quotable plan on and managers.

Could this be the start of a new golden age of the City Series?

'It would be hard to reply are those days, especially '08, when the teams met on one centre weekends in June, with the Cubs sweeping the series at Wrigley and the team's coming at what was then called U.S. Cellular Field.

In the final game of the series, Fonda, was excited in the second innings for coming out to argue a checked swing call that went in favor of Joe Crede, then how all the arrangements were conference, sending coach, days I counted to be in place.'

Counsell and Venable aren't colorful enough to provide the kind of copy Gullon, Fonda's and Dusty Baker provided the media with back to the 2006-10 era. In fact, the managers in Chicago history gave us as much to write about as those three.

But Counsel and Venable both manage playoff-caliber teams, so theoretically it can happen.

The Cubs look like they should hang on to the top wilds and spot in the National League. So of Monday, that would show them playing at home against the Phila-Algebra Phillies in the best of the wilds. The Cubs have been able to gain a good shot to win the American League Control, and on Monday were three games ahead of AL West-leading Houston for the No. 2 seed, which would mean a first-round free.

'That's not anywhere near anything that I'm thinking about,' Venable said before Monday's game. 'We are trying to win today. We understand what is ahead of us and have challenging the road is going to be and that starts with (World) Intangus and the Cubs tonight.'

Here, but not all everyone else here thinks about it!

'You can think about it, write about it and do all the things,' Venable said.

Sounds like a play. But when Cubs could be important is that it means they'll probably be able to avoid playing, so American League East team until the American League Championship Series. The Tampa Bay Bay, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox can

beat each other up in the wilds and series and AL Division Series, while the Sox can advance against a weaker opponent in the ALCS and maybe have some momentum going into the ALCS.

The Cubs will likely have to get for the two-time defending champion Lee Angelos Dodgers at some point, but they just swept them on Aug. 2-4 at Wrigley, and the Dodgers have struggled since the 4th first break. There's also a chance the Dodgers could be upset in the wilds and series, since nothing can happen in a short series.

'As one is getting ahead of themselves, but... OK, yes, we're getting way ahead of ourselves. But as.'

Both the Cubs and Sox still have a lot of work to do to get into the playoffs, and then have to have the right road hope. The Cubs will be able to get into the playoffs, and Edward Cabrera can and out, farier Assad up and down and up again, and a sort of characters waiting to return to the ballpen, including Daniel Palencia, Ben Brown and Roby Milner.

'The Sox also have their issues. On Monday afternoon, Venable wasn't sure who would start Tuesday's game against the Cubs, but the Cubs and José Urquide were possibilities.'

'We really are fair to day here with this just because of the usage we have had over this last series and then just not having really starters,' Venable said.

'Not having started for a stretch, but might be considered hazardous for a first-place team, but the White Sox never do anything the easy way, so why start now?

Either way, the only thing that really mattered was the game at hand, as Venable said. The Cubs who start the series with a 78-77 all-time lead in regular season games, while the Sox wins the one that mattered most — the 2006 World Series.

'Someone pointed out this is the biggest one in the 2006, which is a pretty humorous one,' Counsel said.

'Now it fakes to pay attention to Chicago history.'

'It's going to be a crazy series, so let the hype begin.'

wrists upside before Swanson is ready. If Share's program work goes well Monday, he will start a whole assignment Wednesday at Triple-A Iowa.

Mills given the Cubs a true backup shortstop and also the same experience playing first base. Ultimately, that versatility led to the decision to bring up Miller and drop out Triumph.

Rustico now has his first extended playing time opportunity. He's already made a strong impression in 49 games for the Cubs in which he owns a 2.99 average. 103 not does percentage and 120 (99%).

'Rustico's good player, bottom line,' Counsel said. 'I told you out of spring training, if Pule's have come and play every day in April, I'm good with it. So, this is after 100 major league at their where he's really performed. He's more than ready for this.'

Cabrera's first season with the Cubs certainly hasn't played yet like they continued when he is traded with the Miami Marlins for the 28-year-old in the offseason. Long covered by the organization, Cabrera goes on the IL for the third time this season and the second innings of a blister problem, something he's dealt with throughout his career.

Counsell doesn't believe the issue is serious but also isn't sure when Cabrera will pitch next. But when he does return, the working play right now is that Cabrera will be used in relief. The hope is that well-hunging the blister from creating time is hard. There are issue when throwing in shorter stretches during between-start ballpens.

Cabrera informed Counsel and pitching coach Tommy Herbert of the blister's experience after staring away from the 2nd fourth innings, though Counsel said Monday it initially popped up after he tried wide start Aug. 1 at Double A.

'We've got to come up with some better answers on the blister thing,' Counsel said. 'The mail, the blister, we keep having some issues there. Frankly, one thing we're going to talk about, is it happening the longer your outings are, and is that coming that' and that may be something we consider for the rest of the year.

'We're hoping we can have the blister behind us. ... When the volume is lower, maybe we can make some progress there and that can be a fix at least for the last six weeks here.'

Through 11 starts, Cabrera has a 14 ERA and 72 ERA+ in 36 innings with the lowest strikeout runs (20.4%) of his six-year career. The beginning of Cabrera's Cubs career isn't on the trajectory the team believed it would take.

'It hasn't clicked,' Counsel said. 'You spend a lot of time figuring these out. I wish every story was a success story and this one right now is not what we're going to keep working out trying to find answers on the 2nd season solutions. It's something very important, but I wish I could tell you every story is a success story, but we haven't almost been.'

Cabrera said Monday he is '100%' on board with being aware of the ballpen, saying, 'the important thing is being here and helping the team in whatever way I can.' The blister didn't affect him until the fourth when he won dropped with four runs in the St. Louis Cardinals turned a one-rate lead into a 9-2 advantage.

'I'm all honesty, it's fascinating,' Cabrera said. 'As a human being, that's normal for us. But when I get home, I always think God and ask him to help overcome those situations. I know they are tough, but they have a purpose.'

Uncertainty high in po per Pep era of Premier League

The poet Pep Guardiola is a 9-getting underwar in English soccer amid uncertainty and upheaval — not just at Manchester City but across the whole of the Premier League.

The biggest vacuum needing to be filled in on 2016, following the departure of Gua-Itla after 10 second-breaking years in charge. Good luck following that. Kane Maroon — especially after the most lamentable performance in the Community Shield has to depend on Sunday.

And there is a big quarterback leading over the Stanman, too. Will there be a hangover after winning the league for the first time in 22 years?

Handful of playoff teams look to take next step with new play-callers

By Josh Dubrow ASSOCIATED PRESS

Making the play-offs wasn't nearly enough last season for the Chargers and Eagles.

Despite winning 14 games each and making it to the postseason, the Chargers and Eagles decided that some change was needed and both sought out new offensive coordinators to spark struggling units.

The Eagles continued their revolving down at the low spot with New Maroon getting hand in to spin the final shows. Patello after the team's scoring dropped nearly five games per game in 2015. Maroon, the former Packers Qibs coach, in the 60th offensive coordinator in the last five years for the Eagles with Shane Smichan and Kellon Moore turning successful starts into head coaching jobs, while Brian Johnson and Patello get fired after one season.

The Chargers made a similar decision, deciding to fine Doug Benson and bring in Mike McDaniel in hopes of finding a coordinator who can put together an offense this can maximize quarterback Justin Herbert's talents.

"I think a lot of game will go in 'He's a wizard," said a 2nd All-And-W's receiving to see what we'll be able to do.

The Chargers and Eagles aren't been among bloodflowers with new play-callers to plan this season. The Super Bowl champion Sedunies had to find a new OC after Mark Ralfski got tired as head coach for the Raiders, taking tight ends coach Brian Fleury from the division-level 49ers.

The 2nd and 3rd Packers both had to replace defensive coordinators who got head coaching jobs with Balloon March replacing Robert Balvin from Francisco and Jonathan Gannon replacing Jeff Hafley in Green Bay.

Two, 2 games, 2 play-calling head coaches have got to go that day with the Broncos' Sean Fleury handing offensive play-calling to merely pressured 24-year-old Don's Webb and the Panthers' Dave Candice giving the Balloon to Brad Ladd.

Including teams that changed head coaches, there are 22 of the 32 teams with a new primary play-caller on other offense, defense or both ends of the ball.

Here's a look at some of the key new play-callers around the league on teams that didn't change head coaches.

CHARGES TO MAKE MCDANIEL

After England, Bruges's Brookes run game for the 49ers under coach Kyle

Shanahan, McDaniel got to call plays a head coach the Dolphins head coach the last four seasons with Taco Snythe, the Dolphins had one of the best offenses in the league with Taco Supendish at QB, finishing second in the league in scoring in 2023.

McDaniel will modernize a Chargers offense that looked stale at times the last two years with Benson calling jobs: the will utilize more motion and play action to take pressure off Herbert.

Herbert is the most talented QB McDaniel has had and his strong arm could operate even more aspects of the offense with the ability to stretch the field in an offense that ensues speed.

"It means everyone playing to their full speed, shocking the defense at the once, a physical head of football with slim technique and fundamentals," McDaniel said.

EAGLES OF SEAN MANNION

The Eagles are buying that Mannion can play, but it is the end the offense get back to the level at was at in 2022 under Struthers and 24 under Moses with the alternate year pattern continuing.

"The 14 year old Mannion has had a meteoric rise since ending his playing career after the 2022 season, spending two years as an assistant with the Packers before getting his own offense to run. He will bring some of the concepts of the Packers offense that is an off-shore of the successful team as in its Shanahan and James' home.

He has plenty of talent to work with as a unit that features Pierre, Suspen Bartley, De Voeis Smith and a strong offensive line.

"We've got to put them in the best positions possible, that they feel comfortable that they can go out and play the game," Gannon said. "Before scheme, I truly believe it's not what you play, it's how you play."

SEANANNS OF BRIAN FLEURY

Fleury has a high toe to reach after Ralfski got together an offense that helped the Sedunies win the Super Bowl in the first season with the team. Ralfski's offense got the best out QB Sam Darneid and helped W.R. Jason Smith. Highs win AP Offensive. Fleury of the Test after leading the NFL with 1,793 yards receiving.

Fleury has never been an offensive play-caller at any level but spent the last seven years on Julie Shanahan's stuff in San Francisco where he finished his start as the team's top game coordinator. He plans to keep the same of the Ralfski run and will hope to be able to display on the success as the Sedunies ranked fifth in the league with 75 plays of 20- play yards.

"I've thought as a play-caller for a

long time," Fleury said. "Of course, doing it for the first time at this level is going to prevent some challenges."

USERS OF RAHERN MORRIS

Morris will be the fifth defensive coordinator in the last five years for the 49ers after Ralfski hit the 'Super' head coaching job. While the previous fiveers hit 20, two under a season, Morris is bringing more change with the 49ers from them from and more aggressive man coverage on the back end.

The 49ers ranked last in the NFL last season with 20 yards but should get a boost at the least seven from the returns from injury of Nick Ross and Fred Wayne and the addition of defensive tackle the Ghighlton's. They hope that a better pace with and a simple field is best for Morris will show the defensive backs to be more aggressive and improve on last season's total of six 1976 that were tied for second in the NFL.

"He didn't do to play the," Gannon back the contender's Lenoir said. "He broke the defense down and made it an simple as possible to where we've able to just read and trust and just play, and not really think about it."

COMMENTS OF CHRISTIAN PARKER

The Cowboys had one of the most prolific offensive for league last season but were done in by a defense that has allowed the most people and took it on play in the NFL the last two seasons. That led to the decision to hire Parker from the Eagles to bring some of the coverage a binned that have made them so successful.

Parker has studied under Vic Fanger and is viewed as one of the promising young defensive minds in the game. He should be helped by the addition of their round jacks Cobb Downs and Mabel's. The 2nd in the game just to determine Cowboys defense.

"The whole offensive pretty much out," save usher John Thompson said.

"Now it's time for the defense to get on board and communicate, the what we get to do in order to get that Super Bowl."

BRONCOS OF DAVIS WEBB

Parties has long been viewed as one of the top play-callers in the game but he has done a lot of go to go that days the rest. He made the decision after last season to promote Webb from quarterbacks to coach in offensive coordinator and left him off play for a team that reached the 40-20 per game.

The 31-year-old Webb is on the fast track after holding his playing career in the 2022 season. He spent three season as Qibs can't and have will call play for a Super Bowl contender.

专题一:资本的幽灵与城市的合法性危机:从百事达"持续经营"预警看金融化逻辑的制度侵蚀

1. 现实困境深描(The Concrete Dilemma)

百事达公司在其第二季度财报中发布"持续经营"预警,这一技术性措辞背后隐藏着资本流动性危机与城市治理合法性的双重困境。[F1_5 🔍]-[F1_7 🔍]显示,该预警并非源于芝加哥赌场综合体建设的直接失败,而是源于金融化逻辑对实体经济的侵蚀——公司正在寻求"多种融资方案以增强流动性",包括资产出售、股权融资或债务融资。然而,这一预警可能引发投资者与市政府的担忧,进而动摇城市治理的合法性基础。[F1_8 🔍]明确指出,"持续经营"预警有时是破产申请的前兆,这意味着城市可能面临失去重要经济支柱的风险。更为关键的是,百事达公司试图将融资问题与芝加哥建设放缓脱钩,[F1_9 🔍]-[F1_10 🔍]强调"百事达芝加哥的建设状态没有变化",这一辩解本身暴露了资本逻辑的虚伪性——它无法承担自身风险的外部性,却试图将责任转嫁给城市治理的合法性。

2. 博弈机制与话语策略剖析(Mechanisms & Discourse)

百事达公司的"持续经营"预警并非简单的财务披露,而是一种话语权力的运作机制。首先,预警的发布选择在第二季度财报中披露,这一时间节点具有特定的象征意义——它在财务年度的中段发出警告,既能引起投资者的关注,又能为公司争取更多的谈判筹码。其次,公司通过强调"多种融资方案"的讨论,将自身置于"积极寻求解决方案"的主动位置,而将城市治理置于"被动应对风险"的被动位置。[F1_6 🔍]中的"以在每次发行时保持与其循环信贷额度相符的合规性"一句,更是展现了资本逻辑的技术化与去人格化——它将城市治理的合法性问题转化为一种合规性问题,从而掩盖了资本逻辑的内在矛盾。最后,公司通过强调"与芝加哥建设放缓无关",试图将责任转嫁给城市治理的外部环境,这一话语策略进一步削弱了城市治理的合法性。

3. 历史思想资源的平等对话(Theoretical Resonance)

百事达"持续经营"预警事件触动了哈贝马斯的"生活世界殖民化"理论与韦伯的"合理性危机"理论之间的张力。哈贝马斯在《交往行动理论》中指出,资本逻辑通过系统世界(经济与行政)对生活世界的侵蚀,导致了交往行动的扭曲与合法性危机。[F1_7 🔍]中的"公司持续经营的能力面临重大疑问"一句,正是生活世界被系统世界殖民化的典型表现——资本逻辑通过技术性预警,将城市治理的合法性问题转化为一种技术性风险,从而掩盖了资本逻辑的内在矛盾。韦伯的"合理性危机"理论则进一步揭示了这一困境的深层结构——当资本逻辑侵入城市治理时,城市治理的合法性基础将面临持续的危机,而这种危机又无法通过技术性手段予以解决。因此,百事达事件不仅是一个财务问题,更是一个制度伦理问题——它暴露了资本逻辑与城市治理之间的根本性冲突。

4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见(Contemporary Synthesis)

当代资本主义的金融化逻辑进一步加剧了这一困境。在全球化与数字化的背景下,资本的流动性与城市治理的稳定性之间的张力愈发尖锐。百事达事件表明,资本逻辑通过"持续经营"预警等技术性手段,将城市治理的合法性问题转化为一种风险管理问题,从而掩盖了资本逻辑的内在矛盾。然而,这种技术化的风险管理并不能解决根本性的制度伦理问题——它只能将问题推延至未来,并将风险转嫁给社会。因此,我们需要重新思考城市治理的合法性基础,以及资本逻辑在其中的角色。哈贝马斯的"交往行动理论"与韦伯的"合理性危机"理论在此提供了重要的理论资源,但我们需要进一步发展这些理论,以应对当代资本主义的新挑战。


专题二:教育正义的空间困境:从芝加哥公立学校预算危机看联邦制下的正义分配伦理

1. 现实困境深描(The Concrete Dilemma)

芝加哥公立学校(CPS)通过1000亿美元预算,依赖3.5亿美元州政府资金(可能无法到位),并在11月选票设置两项咨询性问题:全州百万富翁税与对空地所有者征罚。[F1_17 🔍]-[F1_18 🔍]显示,这一预算推动引发了州长普里茨克的质疑——他辩称州政府无法仅帮助芝加哥而不向全州学校拨款。普里茨克的质疑暴露了联邦制框架下教育正义分配的困境:在一个高度不平等的社会中,如何在"地方自治"与"区域平衡"之间重构正义分配的伦理基础?[F1_14 🔍]-[F1_15 🔍]中普里茨克的言论——"现在不可能仅为芝加哥公立学校提供资金而不为全伊利诺伊州的学校提供资金"——进一步凸显了这一困境的复杂性。芝加哥公立学校的预算推动不仅是一个财政问题,更是一个制度伦理问题——它暴露了联邦制框架下教育正义分配的空间困境。

2. 博弈机制与话语策略剖析(Mechanisms & Discourse)

芝加哥公立学校的预算推动与州长普里茨克的政治博弈展现了话语权力的复杂运作机制。首先,CPS通过设置咨询性问题,试图将教育正义问题转化为一种民意表达,从而为其预算推动争取合法性。[F1_17 🔍]中的"咨询性问题虽无法律效力,但向决策者传递民意信号"一句,展现了话语权力的象征性功能——它通过民意表达,将教育正义问题转化为一种政治压力,从而迫使州政府采取行动。其次,普里茨克通过强调"州政府无法仅帮助芝加哥而不向全州学校拨款",试图将教育正义问题转化为一种区域平衡问题,从而削弱CPS的预算推动。[F1_14 🔍]-[F1_15 🔍]中的言论——"如果你愿意,我可以把口袋掏出来给你们看,证明本州没有闲置的资金"——进一步展现了话语权力的排他性功能——它通过强调区域平衡,将教育正义问题转化为一种零和博弈,从而掩盖了不平等的根本结构。最后,CPS与州政府之间的博弈展现了制度伦理的悖论:在一个高度不平等的社会中,正义分配的伦理基础何在?如何在"地方自治"与"区域平衡"之间寻找平衡?

3. 历史思想资源的平等对话(Theoretical Resonance)

芝加哥公立学校预算危机触动了罗尔斯的"差别原则"与南希·弗雷泽的"参与式正义"理论之间的张力。罗尔斯在《正义论》中提出,正义的首要原则是"平等自由原则",其次是"差别原则"——即社会和经济的不平等必须满足"对最不利者的最大化利益"。然而,在联邦制框架下,罗尔斯的"差别原则"面临着空间正义的困境——如何在不同地区之间分配正义资源?[F1_17 🔍]中议员摩根与戴维斯的言论——"我无法回忆在过去八年中,在否决会议期间,我们在限制地理区域后,是否为芝加哥以外的学校提供了额外资金"——进一步凸显了这一困境的复杂性。南希·弗雷泽的"参与式正义"理论则提供了另一种思路——她认为,正义不仅是资源分配的问题,更是参与机会的问题。在弗雷泽看来,教育正义不仅是资金分配的问题,更是参与机会的问题——即如何确保所有地区的居民都能参与教育决策的过程。因此,芝加哥公立学校的预算危机不仅是一个资源分配问题,更是一个参与机会的问题——它暴露了联邦制框架下教育正义分配的制度伦理困境。

4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见(Contemporary Synthesis)

当代联邦制框架下的教育正义分配面临着新的挑战。在全球化与数字化的背景下,教育资源的分配不仅涉及地区间的平衡,更涉及不同社会群体的参与机会。芝加哥公立学校的预算危机表明,联邦制框架下的教育正义分配需要重新思考正义的空间维度——即如何在不同地区之间分配正义资源,同时确保所有地区的居民都能参与教育决策的过程。罗尔斯的"差别原则"与弗雷泽的"参与式正义"理论在此提供了重要的理论资源,但我们需要进一步发展这些理论,以应对当代联邦制框架下的教育正义分配挑战。具体而言,我们需要重新思考"地方自治"与"区域平衡"之间的关系,以及如何在正义分配与参与机会之间寻找平衡。

    • 情感政治与伦理深思切入点:普里茨克的“口袋论”将教育资源的分配问题简化为“零和游戏”,忽视了芝加哥公立学校长期被忽视的历史创伤。这一言论在情感层面激发了“分配正义”的愤怒,同时也暴露了制度理性如何通过“预算平衡”的技术话语,掩盖了结构性不平等的真相。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一: 从“持续经营”到“希望幻灭”:资本逻辑如何吞噬城市想象力

  1. 制度理性架构解构(Deconstruction of Institutional Logos) 百事达公司的“持续经营”预警,是现代资本主义治理逻辑的典型缩影。在其第二季度财报中,公司以“流动性风险”为名发出预警,将一个耗资120亿美元的城市赌场综合体项目简化为“资产负债表上的数字游戏”。这一预警机制([F1_7 🔍])本身即是制度理性的产物:它依赖于美国证券交易委员会的技术规则,将企业的生死存亡简化为“12个月内无法偿还债务”的量化指标。然而,这一机制的背后,是对城市发展愿景的彻底工具化。百事达公司在声明中强调“与芝加哥建设放缓无关”([F1_9 🔍]),试图将责任推卸给地方政府的“视频博彩终端规则争议”,但其真正的焦虑,却是资本市场对“项目回报率”的冷酷审视。在这里,城市的未来被简化为“投资回报”的抽象计算,而人类共同体的共同福祉,则沦为制度理性的牺牲品。

  2. 生活世界真实痛感深描(Living Lifeworld Pathos) 对于芝加哥河西区的居民而言,百事达公司的赌场综合体项目曾是他们对城市未来的“希望之光”。然而,当这一项目因“流动性风险”被暂停时,他们的希望瞬间幻灭。这种“希望—幻灭”的情感撕裂,在报纸的报道中被简化为“投资者担忧”([F1_8 🔍])和“市政府担忧”([F1_9 🔍]),但其背后,是无数普通市民对“美好生活”的渴望被资本逻辑无情碾压的痛感。更为残酷的是,当百事达公司试图将责任推卸给地方政府时,河西区的居民却被迫承担这一项目失败的后果:失业、税收减少、社区发展停滞。这种制度理性对生活世界痛感的漠视,在情感层面激发了对“分配正义”的愤怒,同时也暴露了资本主义治理逻辑的内在矛盾:它既需要城市的发展愿景来吸引投资,又必须在资本风险面前无情地牺牲这些愿景。

  3. Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦(The Dialectical Friction) 百事达公司的“持续经营”预警,是制度理性与生活世界痛感之间辩证摩擦的典型案例。在制度层面,公司通过“流动性风险”的技术话语,将一个城市发展项目简化为“资产负债表上的数字游戏”,从而掩盖了其对城市福祉的漠视。然而,这种漠视在情感层面激发了市民的愤怒和失望,形成了对制度理性的反噬。这种反噬不仅体现在对公司信任度的下降,更体现在对整个资本主义治理逻辑的质疑。与此同时,百事达公司的“持续经营”预警也暴露了资本主义治理逻辑的内在矛盾:它既需要城市的发展愿景来吸引投资,又必须在资本风险面前无情地牺服这些愿景。这种矛盾,在情感层面形成了“希望—幻灭”的撕裂,而在制度层面,则表现为对城市发展愿景的工具化和碎片化。

  4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断(Discourse Temperature & Prognosis) 在百事达公司的“持续经营”预警中,我们可以清晰地看到制度端“去情感化冷色调语言”与生活端“具象痛感热色调语言”之间的巨大温度差。公司的声明充斥着“流动性风险”、“资产出售”、“债务融资”等技术术语([F1_6 🔍]),这些术语将一个城市发展项目简化为“资产负债表上的数字游戏”,完全忽视了河西区居民对“美好生活”的渴望。相比之下,生活世界的痛感则体现在对“希望幻灭”的愤怒和失望中。这种话语温度差,不仅反映了制度理性对生活世界痛感的漠视,更暴露了资本主义治理逻辑的内在矛盾。从社会心理韧性的角度来看,这种撕裂可能进一步加剧市民对制度的不信任,并激发对“分配正义”的更强烈诉求。然而,如果制度理性无法回应这种痛感,这种撕裂最终可能演变为对整个资本主义治理逻辑的全面质疑。


专题二: “口袋论”与教育正义的幻灭:州长普里茨克如何将分配问题简化为零和游戏

  1. 制度理性架构解构(Deconstruction of Institutional Logos) 州长J.B. 普里茨克的“口袋论”,是现代官僚治理逻辑的典型体现。在接受教师工会支持后,普里茨克质疑仅为芝加哥公立学校提供3.5亿美元资金的合理性,称“州内没有闲置资金”([F1_15 🔍])。这一言论背后,是官僚治理逻辑对“预算平衡”的执着追求。普里茨克将教育资源的分配问题简化为“零和游戏”,即芝加哥公立学校的资金增加必然意味着其他地区资金的减少。这种逻辑忽视了芝加哥公立学校长期被忽视的历史创伤,以及其对州内教育资源分配不公的反映。更为关键的是,普里茨克的“口袋论”将教育资源的分配问题简化为“技术术语”,完全忽视了教育正义的伦理维度。这种制度理性的架构,不仅掩盖了结构性不平等的真相,更将教育正义的诉求简化为“预算平衡”的技术问题。

  2. 生活世界真实痛感深描(Living Lifeworld Pathos) 对于芝加哥公立学校的学生和家长而言,3.5亿美元的资金缺口意味着教室的拥挤、教师的流失、教育资源的匮乏。这种痛感在报纸的报道中被简化为“预算缺口”([F1_17 🔍])和“裁员风险”([F1_16 🔍]),但其背后,是无数普通家庭对“教育机会平等”的渴望被官僚治理逻辑无情碾压的痛感。更为残酷的是,普里茨克的“口袋论”将这种痛感简化为“零和游戏”,完全忽视了芝加哥公立学校长期被忽视的历史创伤。这种制度理性对生活世界痛感的漠视,在情感层面激发了对“分配正义”的愤怒,同时也暴露了官僚治理逻辑的内在矛盾:它既需要教育资源的合理分配来维护社会稳定,又必须在“预算平衡”的名义下无情地牺牲这些资源。

  3. Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦(The Dialectical Friction) 普里茨克的“口袋论”,是制度理性与生活世界痛感之间辩证摩擦的典型案例。在制度层面,州长通过“预算平衡”的技术话语,将教育资源的分配问题简化为“零和游戏”,从而掩盖了芝加哥公立学校长期被忽视的历史创伤。然而,这种简化在情感层面激发了市民对“分配正义”的愤怒和失望,形成了对制度理性的反噬。这种反噬不仅体现在对州长信任度的下降,更体现在对整个官僚治理逻辑的质疑。与此同时,普里茨克的“口袋论”也暴露了官僚治理逻辑的内在矛盾:它既需要教育资源的合理分配来维护社会稳定,又必须在“预算平衡”的名义下无情地牺牲这些资源。这种矛盾,在情感层面形成了“教育正义的幻灭”,而在制度层面,则表现为对教育资源分配问题的工具化和碎片化。

  4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断(Discourse Temperature & Prognosis) 在普里茨克的“口袋论”中,我们可以清晰地看到制度端“去情感化冷色调语言”与生活端“具象痛感热色调语言”之间的巨大温度差。州长的言论充斥着“预算平衡”、“零和游戏”等技术术语([F1_15 🔍]),这些术语将教育资源的分配问题简化为“技术问题”,完全忽视了芝加哥公立学校学生和家长对“教育机会平等”的渴望。相比之下,生活世界的痛感则体现在对“教育资源匮乏”的愤怒和失望中。这种话语温度差,不仅反映了制度理性对生活世界痛感的漠视,更暴露了官僚治理逻辑的内在矛盾。从社会心理韧性的角度来看,这种撕裂可能进一步加剧市民对制度的不信任,并激发对“分配正义”的更强烈诉求。然而,如果制度理性无法回应这种痛感,这种撕裂最终可能演变为对整个官僚治理逻辑的全面质疑。

  1. 【开放性学术追问一:在资本逻辑主导的城市治理中,如何重建“希望共同体”的情感基础?】

    • 百事达公司的“持续经营”预警,暴露了资本逻辑对城市发展愿景的工具化和碎片化。在这样的背景下,如何重建市民对城市未来的“希望共同体”情感基础,成为一个亟待解决的伦理与社会心理问题。这一追问需要学者们从情感政治、城市社会学和资本批判理论等多个维度出发,探讨如何在资本逻辑的夹缝中重建市民的集体认同和共同愿景。
  2. 【开放性学术追问二:官僚治理逻辑如何通过“技术术语”掩盖结构性不平等,并激发社会抗争?】

    • 普里茨克的“口袋论”,是官僚治理逻辑通过“技术术语”掩盖结构性不平等的典型案例。这一现象在全球范围内普遍存在,从教育资源分配到环境正义,无不体现了官僚治理逻辑对结构性不平等的技术化处理。然而,这种处理方式在情感层面激发了社会抗争,形成了对制度理性的反噬。因此,如何揭示官僚治理逻辑的技术化掩盖机制,并探讨其与社会抗争之间的辩证关系,成为一个亟待深入研究的课题。
