这些婴儿 获得正义”
一名婴儿 ’05 年死亡案的逮捕行动使人们重新关注安静避风港法 (弃婴法)
作者：Joseph States PIONEER PRESS
这是一个安静、阴沉的日子，在海兰德纪念公园墓地，苏珊·舒伦伯格站在一块嵌入草地的小深色石碑前。她在坟墓旁放了几朵鲜花，石碑正面刻着“在天父的爱与追忆中”，以及大卫和罗莎的名字。 20 多年前，在 2005 年 11 月 18 日，她曾在几乎相同的地方参加这两个婴儿的葬礼。
舒伦伯格与埋葬在这里的两个孩子没有个人关系——两人在被亲生父母遗弃后死亡——但她于 2005 年创立的非营利组织 憩于主怀 在过去 21 年里组织了 50 多个被遗弃婴儿的葬礼，其中包括大卫和罗莎。
本月早些时候，舒伦伯格震惊地得知，据当局称，大卫的亲生母亲已通过新的 DNA 技术被确认身份，并被指控为过失杀人，这可能会使一个 25 年前的陈年积案告终。
站在婴儿的坟墓前，舒伦伯格反思了这段令人心碎的经历，而伊利诺伊州的安静避风港法 (弃婴法) —— 正是在他 2001 年去世前几天通过的 —— 本可能救下这两个婴儿，这使得情况更加悲剧。

伊利诺伊州人类服务部的一位发言人没有确认将被解雇的员工人数，但表示乔特精神健康与发育中心的运营“将会缩减”。 乔特设施位于卡本代尔以南约 20 英里处。根据州政府的数据，截至 7 月 1 日，该设施约有 523 名员工，其中 468 人由美国州、县与市雇员工会 (AFSCME) 代表。 这些举措是在贾比·普利兹克 (伊利诺伊州州长) 于 2023 年宣布计划重新规划乔特中心的用途，并扩大居民搬入小型团体之家机会之后采取的；此前有多次报道称，许多乔特中心的居民遭受了虐待、忽视和其他不公正对待。这些涉嫌虐待的行为在芝加哥论坛报、普罗派ublica (非营利新闻组织)、Lee Enterprises 和 Capitol News Illinois 的报道中得到了证实。 周四的公告似乎是该政府计划的顶点，尽管工人倡导者仍对在州政府颁布一个被宣传为主要是维护预算的方案后不久就出现裁员表示失望和惊讶。 “这一决定符合该州在整个伊利诺伊州减少机构化安置的承诺，”

2026 年选举 学校董事会主席 CTU 敌手称候选人违规
工会支持的多明格斯在季度报告中申报支出为零；指控称这“不可能准确”
作者：Kate Armanini 芝加哥论坛报
一份来自竞争对手竞选活动的正规投诉指控学校董事会主席候选人希拉里奥·多明格斯违反了竞选资金法。 多明格斯的候选人委员会在其第一季度报告中申报没有捐款或支出。根据这份上周代表挑战者仙迪尔·雷武卢里向伊利诺伊州选举委员会提交的投诉，该报告“不可能准确”。该投诉最初由 Chalkbeat (教育新闻网站) 报道。 该文件指控多明格斯——芝加哥教师工会 (CTU) 的政治主任——未能申报收集请愿书、打印竞选材料和建立网站的费用。投诉还指称，他举行了一次筹款活动，但没有披露任何

“与那些反对让芝加哥人拥有此类投票权的亿万富翁不同，他们并没有很多钱，”他说。 该投诉列举了希拉里奥·多明格斯竞选团队使用的几名请愿签名收集者的姓名，并称这些人由其他政治委员会支付报酬。他在向《芝加哥论坛报》表示，在提交参选申请时，他收集了 9,000 多个签名。 申请文件指出，他的网站有一个通过筹款平台 ActBlue 接受捐款的页面，并写有“由希拉里奥·多明格斯之友支付”，该页面直到周五仍然可见。多明格斯最早于 5 月下旬宣布参选。 该投诉还列举了数十条 6 月份的社交媒体帖子，并提到在 5 月下旬发布的一段“专业制作的启动视频”。“从未申报过任何印刷、设计、摄影或视频制作支出，”投诉信中写道。
周五晚间，多明格斯的委员会报告了来自芝加哥教师工会 (CTU) 的 44,415 美元的实物捐赠，用于咨询和合同服务。根据向州选举委员会提交的文件，这些捐赠于上周晚些时候收到，因此不属于最近的披露周期。 伊利诺伊州选举委员会公共信息员马特·迪特里希表示，候选人无需披露 12 个月内低于 5,000 美元的支出或捐赠。 捐款在存入委员会银行账户之前不被视为已收到。 “如果他们还没有达到那个[额度]...”
华莱士被要求离开车辆，警察在华莱士的腰带中发现了一件武器，两人在争夺该武器的过程中，华莱士被枪击四次身亡。奥克帕克官员在 6 月发布了此次交通拦截的视频片段。 受托人德里克·埃德提出了一项动议（由受托人奇布伊克·恩尼亚支持），并建议奥克帕克警察局制定一项内部政策，限制使用“借口拦截”（pretext stops）。 埃德表示，该部门政策“应当规定，无论出于何种原因的拦截，都应集中在违规行为本身，并明确除非在初步接触范围内出现了能够具体陈述的事实并引发进一步询问，否则不允许扩大初步拦截的范围”。 埃德说，警察在轻微违规行为上花费的时间，可以用在预防更危险的驾驶情况上。 “交通安全极其...”
供应量依然较低。 在州长 2023 年宣布消息三年多后，伊利诺伊州人类服务部 (IDHS) 发言人表示，该州七个州营发育中心的总人口已从 1,639 人减少到 1,413 人。 IDHS 称，具体到乔特精神健康与发育中心，2023 年 3 月时有不到 200 名智力和发育障碍人士。该机构表示，截至周四，这一数字已降至 16 人。该部门表示，一个 75 张床位的行为健康患者区块将于 3 月逐步削减，而一个 40 张床位的司法鉴定部门将予以保留。 “这对南伊利诺伊州来说是一个毁灭性的打击。该州的决定将导致我们地区失去数百个工作岗位，将弱势患者连根拔起，并给那些本应获得更好待遇的家庭和员工带来混乱，”来自墨菲斯堡的共和党州参议员特里·布莱恩特在的一份声明中说道。 如何处理该设施的问题长期以来一直是该州、员工工会以及居民及其倡导者的矛盾焦点，其中许多人一直推动让居民过渡到限制较少的居住安排。 Equip for Equality，一个联邦...
“这很重要，我想明确一点，这并不是为了阻止人们超速、闯红灯或任何其他有助于确保驾驶员、骑行者和行人安全的交通违规行为，”埃德（Eder）说道。
他表示，根据美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）的说法，由尾灯损坏、车窗贴膜等轻微违规行为引发的交通拦截极少能增加道路安全性，反而可能导致暴力、种族差异以及对警察信任度的丧失。
埃德指出，根据警局的一份报告，橡树公园（Oak Park）警方在 2025 年进行了 569 次现场接触拦截，其中大约 74% 的被拦截者为黑人。他补充道，在这些拦截中，只有 101 次接触导致了逮捕。
埃德表示，他希望该政策包括对交通拦截和违规行为的一致性报告，以便追踪其影响。
“我认为这是一个去做一些我们本该已经做的事情的机会，”受托人珍娜·莱文·雅各布森（Jenna Leving Jacobson）说道。
一个被法定授权帮助监督州长计划的独立机构在 2025 年的一份中期评估报告中指出，原本应过渡到更像家庭的环境的乔特（Choate）居民等待搬迁的时间过长，或者伊利诺伊州官员正将这些居民送往其他大型州立设施。
ProPublica、Capitol News Illinois 和 Lee Enterprises 在 2022 年的一项调查发现，在过去十年中，伊利诺伊州警方针对乔特设施内涉嫌员工不当行为的行为至少启动了 40 起刑事调查。
多年来，那里的员工因涉嫌违规被提起刑事指控十多次，指控内容涵盖从殴打居民到强迫居民喝一杯辣酱的所有行为。工作人员还因未报告虐待行为、妨碍调查以及向州警撒谎而被传唤。
州长的计划要求不仅在乔特，而且在所有其他州立发育中心采取“新的安全增强措施”，以及其他各项条款。
“乔特的转型使伊利诺伊州更接近于全国范围内基于研究的最佳实践。”
在 $5,000 门槛之下，他们不需要开始报告任何内容，”迪特里希（Dietrich）说。
迪特里希表示，这份由雷武卢里（Revuluri）的竞选团队分享给 Tribune 的投诉，除非州委员会认定其是“基于正当理由提交”，否则将不会公开。
委员会的下次会议定于 10 月 20 日——即 11 月选举前的两周。
如果委员会做出有利于投诉人的裁定，多明格斯（Dominguez）将不得不提交一份修正后的季度报告，并可能面临罚款。
政治顾问雨果·雅各博（Hugo Jacobo）代表雷武卢里提交了该投诉。雅各博担任“芝加哥民主党教育政治行动委员会”主席，此前一直反对芝加哥教师工会 (CTU) 对学校董事会的影响。
多明格斯在 6 月得到了该工会的支持。
雷武卢里，一名教育专业人士的儿子。
橡树公园村经理凯文·杰克逊（Kevin Jackson）表示，该政策的草案已经准备就绪。
2022 年，BerryDunn 国家咨询集团与橡树公园官员合作提高公共安全，审查了橡树公园警察局的几个方面，包括其整体运营、内部和外部种族公平问题以及其他涉及警务公平问题的方面。官员们在 7 月 21 日表示，新的交通拦截政策将进一步使该部门与 BerryDunn 公共安全评估建议保持一致。
橡树公园居民特里斯坦·罗杰斯（Tristan Rogers）对该草案政策表示支持。
“借口式拦截不成比例地针对黑人和棕色人种驾驶员，而且往往演变为暴力，甚至致命，”他说。“限制这些拦截是我们能够采取的最具体的一步，以确保我们再也不会因为一次常规交通违规在与警察的接触中失去一名社区成员。”
“……这些实践推进了本州对公平以及残障人士公民权利的承诺，”普利兹克 (伊利诺伊州州长) 的办公室在 2023 年的一份声明中表示。“这也体现了本州的法律职责，即确保残障居民能充分获得机会，生活在他们选择的最不具有限制性的环境中。”
周五，伊利诺伊州康复设施协会（代表为患有智力、发育障碍及严重精神疾病的伊利诺伊州居民提供服务的社区供应商）对政府的决定表示赞赏。
“乔特令人心碎的虐待指控要求采取果断行动。我们支持贾比·普利兹克 (伊利诺伊州州长) 和伊利诺伊州人类服务部，推动将居民转移到最能满足其个人需求的环境的这一下一阶段工作，”IARF 主席乔什·埃文斯 (Josh Evans) 在一份声明中说道。“这次转型也代表了一个继续加强伊利诺伊州社区护理体系的机会……伊利诺伊州已经证明，当州政府、供应商、倡导者和家庭共同努力时，是可以取得实质性进展的。”
这位顾问及前董事会任命人员表示，他的竞选团队提交投诉是因为他担心这场竞选的透明度。
“如果我们不能相信（这次竞选）会遵守规则，那么作为一名居民和一名选民，我会非常担心他们是否在管理一个负责 315,000 名学生福祉与学习，并监管 $10 billion 预算的学区时值得信赖，”雷武卢里说道。
还有三名候选人正在竞选学校董事会主席：现任董事会成员杰西卡·比格斯 (Jessica Biggs) 和詹妮弗·库斯特 (Jennifer Custer)，以及律师维克多·亨德森 (Victor Henderson)。
由于芝加哥教师工会 (CTU) 和支持学校选择权的团体纷纷支持不同候选人，预计这场竞争将非常激烈且耗资巨大。自去年 7 月以来，候选人已筹集了近 $2 million。

IDPH：许多报告环孢子虫病症状的人员曾食用过切丝生菜
作者：Matthew Perrone 和 Zareen Syed 芝加哥论坛报
华盛顿—— 联邦卫生官员周五表示，他们已将与切丝生菜相关的导致腹泻的寄生虫病例与另外四个州联系起来，从而扩大了美国最大规模的环孢子虫病疫情范围。
疾病控制与预防中心表示，这次最初与 Taco Bell 餐厅相关的疫情现在包括伊利诺伊州、堪萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州和宾夕法尼亚州。此前，该机构的调查涵盖五个州：印第安纳州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、俄亥俄州和西弗吉尼亚州。
伊利诺伊州公共卫生部 (IDPH) 在周五下午的一封电子邮件中表示，随着该机构继续与地方、州和联邦合作伙伴合作以确定疫情的所有可能来源，它正在“加强调查”。
IDPH 表示，在伊利诺伊州报告环孢子虫病症状的人员中有相当一部分在外出就餐时食用过切丝生菜。
“7 月的病例报告上升到了自 2018 年以来未见的高度，”IDPH 主任 Sameer Vohra 博士在一份声明中说。“我们建议伊利诺伊州居民，尤其是我们的老年人、婴儿和免疫系统较弱的人群，如果出现突然且持续的腹泻，请联系他们的医疗保健提供者。”
古董珠宝与资产收购
截至周三，伊利诺伊州已有 508 例确诊或疑似环孢子虫病病例。其中，156 人报告曾前往美国境外旅行，291 人在境内感染。根据 IDHP 的数据，其余病例的旅行状态尚不明确，目前正在调查中。到目前为止，伊利诺伊州已有 39 人住院治疗。
Vohra 指出了一些有助于预防环孢子虫病的措施，包括在准备或食用食物前洗手，彻底清洗农产品，并在适当情况下将农产品烹饪至至少 158 度的温度。
IDPH 表示，涉嫌与此次疫情相关的产品目前正从餐厅、零售店和其他食品服务场所撤出，该机构“希望这些行动和公众意识的提高将在未来几天内减少病例数”。
Emily Landon（芝加哥大学医学中心的感染科执行医疗总监）表示，环孢子虫病比其他寄生虫疾病更难追踪。

预防与控制， 上周告诉了《芝加哥论坛报》。 她说，环孢子虫病（cyclosporiasis）的潜伏期为 2 到 14 天， 比其他腹泻性疾病的时间更长， 这使得确定元凶变得困难。 疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC)、食品药品监督管理局以及州卫生官员一直在追踪生菜的供应情况，并就人们在发病前两周所食用的食物对全国范围内的患者进行访谈。 目前，全国范围内与 Taco Bell 提供的生菜相关的病例数为 1,947 例，其中至少有 98 人必须住院。该机构在其网站上报告称，目前没有死亡病例。
该机构指出，考虑到并非所有病例都已上报，此次疫情导致生病的人数总计可能高于官方统计数据。 食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 的官员本周早些时候表示，他们仍将焦点集中在来自 Taylor Farms 的生菜，将其视为这次多州疫情的源头。 该公司上周宣布，正在召回在墨西哥中部种植的结球生菜。 周四，FDA 宣布正在调查另一起涉及 72 人的环孢子虫病爆发疫情。监管机构尚未确定与这些病例相关的产品。 总体而言，环孢子虫病病例数创下了美国纪录。自
5 月 1 日以来，CDC 已收到 4,100 多个实验室确认病例的报告，并正在调查 41 个州中其他 7,400 多个疑似病例。联邦卫生官员表示，随着调查的深入，其他“品牌、餐厅、零售商或分销渠道”也可能与此次疫情有关。 环孢子虫是一种微观寄生虫，会感染接触过人类粪便的食物，最常见于农产品使用受污染的水进行灌溉或清洗时。根据 CDC 的说法，摄入后，该寄生虫会导致肠道疾病，其特点是“频繁且有时是爆发性的排便”。 周四，墨西哥卫生官员宣布，在墨西哥瓜纳胡亚托州的 Taylor Farms 工厂的生菜或水中未检测到该寄生虫。 这些结果是在墨西哥卫生部门于 7 月 18 日至 20 日期间访问 Taylor Farms 工厂后公布的，期间采集了 10 份结球生菜样本。当局表示，还采集了 4 份水样进行分析。

响应了一起关于在罗林斯路（Rollins Road）一家杂货店后面的垃圾桶中发现一名死婴的报告。当时在现场的人员包括瑞安·罗德里格斯（Ryan Rodriguez）——他现在是该部门的警察局长，但当时是一名社区服务员——以及保罗·格雷斯（Paul Grace），后者后来成为了圆湖滩（Round Lake Beach）的侦探，随后成为调查指挥官。罗德里格斯清晰地记得那天；在他们职业生涯的过去 25 年里，这件事一直留在两人的记忆中。罗德里格斯表示，他当时还年轻，但现在回想起来，作为一个有了自己家庭且“年长且更睿智的人”，这个案件对他来说具有深刻的个人意义。
“我对生命的价值，尤其是我们孩子的生命的价值，有了更深层的体会，”他说。“看到我自己的女儿成长得如此之快，随着我的成熟和发展，这个案件在非常个人的层面上引起了我的共鸣。”
该案件随后陷入僵局，但格雷斯表示，这件事也一直萦绕在他心中。2015 年，他以侦探身份重新审查了证据。他说，当时所需的 DNA 案例分析“没有可行的推进路径”，这个问题一直持续到 2023 年。
此时已成为调查指挥官的格雷斯再次进行了审查。谱系数据库已成为破解陈年悬案的有效工具，警察部门官员向村委会提交了一份旨在获取资金的提案。罗德里格斯说，这不是一项廉价的尝试，并感谢村委会在调查中对该部门的支持。如今，凭借 DNA

他说，随着工具的进步，冷案（悬案）的障碍可能更多地在于财务而非技术。 罗德里格斯还赞扬了格雷斯在案件淡出许多人记忆后仍坚持追查。 “这个小婴儿被留在世界上，没有人为他撑腰，”他说。“但如果不是因为格雷斯指挥官个人的热情……如果他没有重新翻开那个卷宗，就没有人会主张调查此案。” 格雷斯表示，DNA 证据和家谱数据库并不能保证能获得线索。这需要找到一名能够识别出亲生母亲的生物学亲属。 但他们遇到了“最理想的情况”，确认了亲生父亲的身份，罗德里格斯说，该父亲此前并不知道这个孩子的存在。 这最终将调查引导至 48 岁的珍妮弗·莱布隆 (Jennifer Lebron) 身上，她在本月早些时候被指控犯有非意图杀人罪。
安静避风港法 罗德里格斯和舒伦伯格都强调了告知人们安静避风港法 (弃婴法) 的必要性。《伊利诺伊州弃婴保护法》允许将 30 天以下且无伤的新生儿交付给医院、警察局和消防局的工作人员，无需询问且无需担心被起诉。 在大卫被发现死在垃圾桶中前仅仅 9 天，该法案就在伊利诺伊州签署。舒伦伯格在想，如果莱布隆当时知道这个法案，这场悲剧是否可以避免。 舒伦伯格回忆说，她曾在一家高中发过言

据凯恩县州检察官办公室称，在针对奥罗拉（Aurora）、西邓迪（West Dundee）、罗克福德（Rockford）和南埃尔金（South Elgin）涉嫌妓院嫖娼活动进行为期 15 个月的调查后，最近被逮捕并起诉的六名男子将在审前被拘留。
州检察官办公室在周四发布的新闻稿中，检察官在法庭上还表示，在逮捕行动期间，在汉诺威公园（Hanover Park）发现了第五家涉嫌的妓院。
官员表示，这项调查由凯恩县州检察官办公室的人员剥削部门牵头，并与多家当地执法机构合作，最终在 7 月 16 日采取逮捕行动，期间将六名男子全部抓获。此次逮捕行动覆盖了凯恩、库克、麦亨利、布恩和温尼贝戈五个县。
据州检察官办公室称，在行动中解救了三名女性，现场的受害者倡导者和医疗人员为她们提供了服务和资源。
州检察官办公室的新闻稿称，这些男子涉嫌控制用作妓院的公寓、收集并转移收益、清洁和维护公寓、安装家用安保摄像头以方便妓院运作，并每周获得高达 $400 的报酬。
关于安静避风港法 (弃婴法) 的内容，随后一名学生走到她面前。该学生告诉她，他婴儿时期被留在安静避风港，并在一个领养家庭中长大。
“我说了一些真正触动他的话。其中一点是，他的母亲，他的亲生母亲，足够爱他，才把他带到安全的地方。他说，‘从来没有人这样告诉过我’，”舒伦伯格 (Schulenberg) 回忆道。
她说，即使在法律通过几十年后，人们对安静避风港法 (弃婴法) 的认知仍然不足，这意味着同样的新闻标题继续在报道中出现。这些事件激起了许多人的愤怒，包括舒伦伯格，但她同时也感到深切的挫败和悲伤。
婴儿大卫
虽然舒伦伯格称呼这个婴儿为大卫 (David)，并且她说在他安葬时在死亡证明上写了这个名字，但在他去世后的多年里，他在停尸房中一直没有名字。根据本月早些时候湖县州检察官办公室发布的新闻稿，另一个组织 AMT Children of Hope 将他命名为“雅各·希望 (Jacob Hope)”。
作为一名虔诚的宗教女性，舒伦伯格经常选择具有精神意义的名字——“大卫”是旧约圣经中的国王，一个成为了伟大人物的小牧羊男孩，她说。
她说，为婴儿命名很重要，不仅是为了法律原因，更是为了在他们死后给予尊重。
“我们都有自己的名字；上帝从创造我们的那一刻起就知道了我们的名字，”舒伦伯格说。“他创造这些孩子是有目的的。虽然大卫无法在这里庆祝他的 25 岁生日，这很悲剧且令人悲伤，但上帝有他的计划。”
大卫和罗莎 (Rosa) 是憩于主怀 (非营利组织) 帮助安葬的第二和第三个婴儿。第一个是在 2005 年 9 月，格雷斯莱克 (Grayslake) 一个在垃圾填埋场被发现死亡的婴儿，舒伦伯格是通过一篇《芝加哥论坛报》的故事得知这件事的。
她说，在第一次葬礼后几周，湖县验尸官办公室打电话来，说他们还有另外两个被遗弃的婴儿，到那时为止已被存放了数年。
那第二次联合葬礼由《论坛报》报道。
再次站在婴儿坟前，舒伦伯格说她已经有一段时间没来了，不过她注意到墓地管理员有时会过来给他们唱歌。当舒伦伯格听到大卫的母亲据报道已被确认身份并被起诉的消息时，她心情极其复杂。
“我们希望这些婴儿能获得公正。我们挺身而出是为了...
检察官办公室表示。 指控进一步称，部分人员使用虚假身份获取公寓租赁权，随后将其用作妓院。 此外，根据州检察官办公室的说法，西邓迪的一家涉嫌妓院距离一所小学不足 600 英尺，而罗克福德的另一家涉嫌妓院也位于一所小学附近。 据官员称，这些男子目前面临的指控包括以营利为目的促进卖淫、在学校附近促进卖淫以及伪造文件。 根据州检察官办公室的消息，被逮捕并起诉的男子包括：来自伍德斯托克的 Abisahit Del Angel Hernández，40 岁；来自奥罗拉的 Gustavo A. Perez Cardoza，35 岁；来自奥罗拉的 Hugo F. Jaimes-Ramirez，43 岁；来自贝尔维登的 Kenneth E. Figueroa Castro，29 岁；来自汉诺威公园的 Delfino Torres-Navarro，59 岁；以及来自埃尔金的 Ricardo Hernandez Lux，33 岁。 检察官主张，没有任何释放条件能够减轻这些男子对社区构成的危险。根据新闻稿，凯恩县巡回法院法官 D.J. Tegeler 命令在案件审理期间将这六人全部拘留在凯恩县监狱中。
他们死时父母不在身边，但发生在她身上的事情是不正确的，他们被抛弃了，”舒伦伯格说道。 但与此同时，她表示，《安静避风港法 (弃婴法)》的制定是为了帮助处于危机中的父母避免此类悲剧。如果那位母亲当时知道这项法律，也许大卫今天还活着，准备在 8 月庆祝他的 25 岁生日。 “我们不想让一个母亲在监狱里度过余生。这不是法律的目的。法律是为了防止她被起诉，”舒伦伯格说。 舒伦伯格表示，她希望在某个时候与 Lebron 谈谈，了解多年前发生了什么，以及为什么她当时没有寻求帮助。她是否知道新法律？难道没有其他选择吗？ “因为如果我们能知道这些，我认为我们可以帮助防止此类事件再次发生。如果我们能听到那些母亲们说……无论问题是什么，也许我们可以解决它，”她说。 虽然从近期的进展中可以获得某种程度的释怀，尽管其中掺杂着新一波的“难以置信的悲伤”，但舒伦伯格仍不得不面对根本性的问题：“公正与仁慈”，以及如何调和这两者。
新闻稿称。 根据州检察官办公室的新闻稿，Perez Cardoza 将于 7 月 30 日再次出庭，而 Jaimes-Ramirez 将于 8 月 12 日出庭。 Hernandez Lux 定于 8 月 13 日出庭，Torres-Navarro 定于 8 月 19 日出庭。根据该办公室的消息，Del Angel Hernandez 和 Figueroa Castro 均定于 8 月 21 日出庭。 除州检察官办公室和众多执法机构的工作外，根据新闻稿，其他合作伙伴还包括圣查尔斯的贝克纪念联合卫理公会教堂、社区危机中心、凯恩县卫生局、Mutual Ground、伊利诺伊州反家庭暴力联盟、Naomi's House、One Collective 以及 Refuge for Women。 根据州检察官办公室的说法，总部位于埃尔金的 One Collective 为从妓院获救的女性捐赠了食品资金，巴塔维亚的 Chicken Salad Chick 也捐赠了食物。官员表示，来自奥罗拉 Rush Copley 医学中心的护士通过凯恩县卫生局为这些女性提供协助，贝克纪念教堂则为其中一名女性提供了住宿。

开启了我家对钓鱼的热爱
作者：苏珊·科赫 (Susan Koch) 特约撰稿
当我大约 7 岁时，我的父亲和他来自芝加哥地区的三个兄弟姐妹前往威斯康星州北部，目标是寻找一块可以让整个家族建造小屋并度过暑假的地块。在经过大量探索后，他在海沃德 (Hayward) 附近纳尔逊湖 (Lake Nelson) 一片未开发土地的岸边抛下了鱼线。
家族传说，他立即钓到了一条巨大的肌肉鱼 (muskie) —— 这种掠食鱼由于极难捕获，被戏称为“10,000 次投竿之鱼”。这几乎决定了交易。四个家庭集结资源，花了约 $1,200，买下了该地点 106 英尺长的湖岸线。就这样，我的家族集体开启了进入被伊扎克·沃尔顿 (Izaak Walton) 称为“钓鱼兄弟会”的旅程，而沃尔顿正是所有钓鱼文学奠基之作《钓鱼大全》(The Compleat Angler) 的作者。
不幸的是，我父亲那次难忘的捕获，成了我们大家族中任何人钓到肌肉鱼的第一次，也是最后一次。但正如那句老话所说，“大海中还有很多其他鱼”，我们这支钓鱼大军很快就开始热切追求任何会咬钩的未知生物。当一群成年人乘船在湖上钓黄眼鱼时，我们孩子大部分时间都在码头边或系在岸边的小船上钓鱼
黑冠夜鹭 最近一段关于一只年轻黑冠夜鹭栖息在河北区 (River North) 窗台上的电视新闻片段是一个有趣的芝加哥故事。但它也揭示了一些令人惊讶的事实：大多数观众并不知道，一种在该州处于濒危状态的鸟类已选择将芝加哥作为家园。 二十年来，这些夜鹭每年春天都会回到林肯公园 (Lincoln Park) 筑巢，在全美最大城市之一的核心地带抚养后代。它们的数量讲述了一个重要的故事。1992年，卡卢梅特 (Calumet) 地区记录到的成年黑冠夜鹭峰值估计约为 1,600只。今年，该种群的峰值计数约为 455只成年鸟，与历史上的卡卢梅特数量形成鲜明对比，并提醒人们这些鸟类所面临的挑战。 尽管面临挑战，夜鹭依然选择芝加哥。它们继续在这里抚养雏鸟；沿着我们的河流、潟湖和湖滨觅食；并提醒我们，当我们为其留出空间时，野生动物在城市景观中依然可以繁衍生息。 在过去的 3年里，芝加哥黑冠夜鹭项目 (Chicago Black-crowned Night Heron Project) 的志愿者们遇到了数千名在得知这些非凡的鸟类就生活在我们身边时感到惊讶的人。他们的反应几乎总是一样的：“我完全不知道。” 也许这才是真正的故事。这些夜鹭没有放弃芝加哥。它们依然在这里，等待着我们注意到它们，并意识到它们在伊利诺伊州的未来在一定程度上取决于我们今天的选择。 —— 艾米·拉德纳 (Amy Lardner)，芝加哥黑冠夜鹭项目创始人
忽视过度消费 7月 22日刊登了四封关于气候变化的思考信。在这些信件中，没有一封提到过那个显而易见但被刻意回避的问题（the elephant in the room）。 如果我们无法讨论我们对每一项可用产品和服务的过度消费，那么我们将无法取得任何成就。 —— 尼尔·约翰逊 (Neil Johnson)，兰辛 (Lansing)
科学突破至关重要 对于面对胰腺癌的家庭来说，每一次突破都代表着极其个人化的意义：更多的时间，更多的希望，以及相信进步成为可能的理由。 胰腺癌不分年龄、种族、民族或性别。它曾夺走过年仅 30岁且健康状况良好的人的生命。这种情况可能发生在我们任何人身上。 这就是为什么今年美国临床肿瘤学会 (American Society of Clinical Oncology) 年会上展示的结果如此令人鼓舞。研究人员报告称，在第 3 期临床数据中，daraxonrasib 几乎使先前治疗过的转移性胰腺癌患者的生存期翻了一番，并将死亡风险降低了 60%，这是针对这种最致命癌症之一的一次显著进展。 在罗尔夫胰腺癌基金会 (Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation)，我们知道这样的突破并非一夜之间实现的。它们建立在多年的创新科学投资、研究人员之间的协作以及在……之前愿意资助大胆想法的基础上。
[[IMG_XXXX]] 作者苏珊·科赫 (Susan Koch) 的孙女埃尔莎 (Elsa) 在家族池塘边举起一条蓝色太阳鱼。——苏珊·科赫 (SUSAN KOCH)
—— 努力尝试在捕捉鲈鱼、蓝色太阳鱼和黑鳃细节鱼 (crappie) 时赢得吹嘘的资本。 由于总共有 19名堂表亲，在拥挤的码头上抛竿需要一种并不总是能展现出来的技巧。 这就可以解释为什么我的哥哥吉姆 (Jim) 在一个早晨，鱼钩牢牢地钩在了他的后脑勺上，导致他不得不前往海沃德 (Hayward) 的急诊室。 我们的钓鱼设备说得委婉一点，就是缺乏专业性。我们并不知晓——
成功是必然的。这一信念是我们使命的核心：支持开创性的研究（尤其是早期检测），同时在患者及其家属的整个就医过程中，为他们提供所需的资源与希望。
这一进展也应提醒政策制定者。医学创新依赖于一个鼓励持续研发的环境。削弱生物医学研究投资激励措施的政策，最终将使未来的突破和未来的患者面临风险。
胰腺癌对我们而言是切身之痛，这就是为什么我们认为每一次科学突破都至关重要。今天的发现将为明天的早期检测、更有效的治疗以及更好的预后创造希望。 —— 斯塔西亚·哈特 (Stacia Hart)，罗尔夫胰腺癌基金会执行主任，芝加哥

我的父亲是我的一辈子都住在南区的人，他过去常说钓鱼很像成为一名白袜队的球迷。它需要你在长期的沮丧中保持耐心，但偶尔爆发的狂喜会让这一切变得值得。在纳尔逊湖岸边学到的关于耐心的教训，多年来一直对我大有裨益。
[[IMG_XXXX]]
我们并不讨论摇摆饵、旋转饵，或是现在 Cabela's 商店货架上那些花哨的震动诱饵。我们只要一套好用的鱼竿和卷线器，从前院挖出来的新鲜蚯蚓，以及在铅坠上方几英寸处夹在钓线上的 1-英寸红白浮标就心满意足了。诸如将钩子穿入蚯蚓、以平滑的弧线抛投、收钩以及快速地将钩子从鱼口中取出等基本技巧，都来自练习——而我们得到了充足的练习。

快进几十年，在许多夏日，你会发现我就在我们 2-英亩农场池塘的码头尽头。池塘里投放了比例恰到好处的大口黑鲈、蓝鳃太阳鱼、黑鳃太阳鱼和通道鲶鱼，提供了充足的沮丧与戏剧性机会。一只巨大的常驻拟鳄龟经常是我沉默的伴侣，因为它同样在狩猎。
但不久后，我将再次北上前往海沃德。我和表亲们将拜访传奇的 Moccasin 酒吧，墙上挂着卡尔·约翰逊钓到的 67-磅肌肉鱼——那是 1949 年钓获的，而非射杀。我们将漫步在该酒吧的博物馆中，那里有极其复杂的动物标本立体场景——或许已显老旧，但现在看来与我们小时候一样迷人。
每天清晨，我会准备一杯咖啡、几条蚯蚓，以及我可靠的鱼竿和卷线器。我会在平静的湖面上画出一道弧线抛投，然后安静地坐着，仔细盯着我的红白浮标。我可能钓不到肌肉鱼。但无论是否钓到鱼，我将一如既往地品味“勇敢渔夫生活”中那完美的满足感。

代表团为《独立宣言》投票。直到今天，特拉华州仍自称为“第一州”。 随着人们为了 250 周年纪念而旅行，我推荐特拉华州作为目的地。那里有许多鲜为人知的与独立战争相关的联系，能让人切身体会到这项成就的现实意义。一座罗德尼奔向费城的青铜雕像曾占据着威尔明顿的公共广场。 — 吉姆·哈拉斯 (Jim Halas)，诺里奇
关于夏令时的解决方案 世界上大多数地区运行的是基于标准小时的时间。但一些地区使用半小时或 45-分钟的偏移量，以便更好地与太阳时对齐或为了国家认同感。例如，印度、纽芬兰、伊朗和南澳大利亚运行的是 30-分钟的偏移量，而尼泊尔是 45-分钟。当然，并不是所有国家在春天都会切换到夏令时。 为什么美国不能简单地折中标准时间和夏令时，永久地将所有时钟更改半小时，然后就这么定下来呢？ — 马克·马罗尼 (Mark Maroney)，森林公园
政党内斗。 然而，在这里的芝加哥，我们应该感到高兴，因为我们的两支棒球队都在季后赛的争夺之列，这种情况自 2008. 年以来从未发生过。小熊队被预期会表现出色，但白袜队则是棒球界的惊喜。在经历了连续三个赛季 100 次失利的低谷后，白袜队再次成为了关注焦点。 此外，在经历了非常成功的 2025 年赛季后，熊队的夏季训练营在极高的期待中拉开帷幕。我不记得什么时候三支球队都被预期能进入争冠行列。报纸和体育谈话广播电台将不得不决定如何分配报道篇幅。 — 凯里·里斯克 (Cary Riske)，格雷斯湖 (Grayslake)

医学界已知，全国范围内的疫苗接种率已经下降。麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹的全国接种率在 2024-25 学年幼儿园儿童中下降至 92.5%，而 2019-20 学年为 95.2% —— 这掩盖了某些社区中甚至更低的接种率。
在犹他州，公共卫生官员与麻疹斗争已持续一年多，据该州卫生部门称，在此期间已有 700 多人感染该病毒。犹他州流行病学家莱莎·诺伦 (Dr. Leisha Nolen) 博士表示，依赖数学模型和遗传分析的专家指出，犹他州与亚利桑那州边境的一次大规模爆发规模可能是目前已知情况的三到四倍。
南卡罗来纳州的情况则更模糊，该州经历了美国 35 年来最大规模的疫情爆发。该州卫生部门表示，997 这一总数很可能是低估了。
该州卫生部代理主任布兰农·特拉克勒 (Dr. Brannon Traxler) 博士表示，低估的程度“无法得知，且在疫情爆发过程中可能会有所变化”。
数据缺口使得可靠地估计疫情的真实规模变得困难。专家表示，住院率可以是一个很好的风向标，但并非每个州都要求报告麻疹住院情况。
“如果我们真的有一种可靠的金标准，能够掌握所有病例中住院或某种严重程度指标的百分比，那么这将成为另一种估计疫情规模的方法，我们可以据此查看它是否与这些其他方法一致，”犹他大学医学院的应用数学家戴蒙·托斯 (Damon Toth) 表示，他正参与一项关于犹他州疫情爆发的分析。
在德克萨斯州，研究人员仍在努力估算该州 2025 年疫情爆发的规模，初步结果显示，其实际规模可能接近已知 762 例病例的两倍。
科罗拉多大学波德分校的数学流行病学家雷米·帕斯科 (Rémy Pasco) 参与了该分析，他表示低估的情况并不令人惊讶。他指出，在缺乏充足的社区接种率的情况下（根据健康专家的说法，接种率需达到 95%）—— “一旦感染麻疹，你能做的事情并不多”。
疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 将疫情爆发定义为三例或三例以上相关的病例。但他补充道，在接种率低且疾病监测不足的社区中，等到三例此类病例被确定时，“要么你漏掉了之前的病例，要么你将面临更多病例”。
德克萨斯州首席州流行病学家瓦伦·谢蒂 (Dr. Varun Shetty) 博士表示，曾出现过人们麻疹检测呈阳性，但卫生官员无法确认该人的家庭成员还有谁，或他们是否生病的情况。
“我们能够统计和报告的数据几乎总是对实际发生情况的低估，因为这依赖于人们的意愿——”

问题：最近天气非常干燥。 我们现在处于干旱状态吗？
回答：虽然在过去的 19 天里，奥黑尔机场尚未记录到任何可测量的降雨，但我们仍未达到干旱水平。这是因为 7 月初降雨量很大。考虑到周日到周一可能会有几场风暴，我们很有可能在下周晚些时候达到干旱参数。

特朗普新一批关税政策
政府在征收最新税项时 指称存在强迫劳动
作者：Elaine Kurtenbach 与 Chan Ho-Him 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
曼谷 —— 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普最新的一系列关税上涨举措在周五引发了包括中国和日本在内的美国贸易伙伴的反对，澳大利亚贸易部长谴责这些举措“完全不合理”。
政府在周四晚间宣布对 60 个经济体额外征收 10% 至 12.5% 的关税，称这些国家未能有效执行禁止强迫劳动商品的禁令。
在特朗普于最高法院遭遇惨败后实施的临时征税措施于周五 12:01 a.m. 到期之时，新关税随即生效。
澳大利亚贸易部长唐·法雷尔 (Don Farrell) 否认了将澳大利亚（牛肉、黄金和铜的主要出口国）与现代奴隶制联系起来的指控，并反对将其对美出口关税从 10% 提高至 12.5%。

Bath & Body Works 潜心研发 可能价值数百万美元的新香氛
作者：Farah Stockman 纽约时报 (THE NEW YORK TIMES)
俄亥俄州，新奥尔巴尼 —— 在曼哈顿一间位于香氛实验室上方的明亮办公室内，Mary Testa-Gough 将一条白色试纸贴近鼻子吸了一口气。两名调香师助手等待着她的裁决，仿佛一个价值数十亿美元的嗅觉帝国的命运就取决于此。
“有烟熏味，”Testa-Gough 说。“有苔藓感。木质调。但感觉还没完成。”
作为 Bath & Body Works 的首席“嗅觉师”，Testa-Gough 负责寻找下一个“日本樱花 (Japanese Cherry Blossom)”。在过去的 20 年里，单这一款香味就创造了超过 $1.5 十亿美元的销售额，让数百万家庭充满了亚洲梨、白色茉莉和印度香米的香气。
这种散发自蜡烛、空气清新剂、乳液和身体喷雾的香味自 2006. 年首次推出以来一直畅销。它如此受欢迎，以至于这家零售商在今年春天推出了新包装，以庆祝其 20 周年纪念，作为一项

旧金山 —— 十年前，当 Meta 注意到数百万 Facebook 用户在其平台上买卖商品时，它专门在应用中开辟了一个名为 Facebook Marketplace 的板块供用户操作。
自那时起，Marketplace 已成为 Facebook 最受欢迎的部分之一，人们在这里寻找本质上是互联网上最大的衣服、家具和二手车“车库拍卖会”。周五，Meta 利用这一人气推出了 Seller，这是一款专门为 Marketplace 卖家设计的独立应用程序。
此举是 Meta 战略的一部分，旨在
这一关税水平是在去年特朗普的“解放日”加税之后实施的。 “我们认为，在全世界所有国家中，澳大利亚确实非常严肃地对待奴隶制和现代奴隶制问题，并将继续这样做，”法雷尔在阿德莱德告诉记者。 澳大利亚认为，更高的关税是“完全不合理的，我们将继续游说美国贸易代表，以取消所有针对澳大利亚商品的关税，”法雷尔表示。 新西兰总理克里斯托弗·卢克森表示，对其国家征收的关税（同样适用 12.5% 的进口税）令他“极其失望”，是不合理的且损害贸易的。 作为此次征税依据的一项美国调查并未提供有意义的证据来支持关于强迫劳动的指控。 欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯在接受亚洲新闻台采访时对美国的立场提出了质疑。 “如果你将我们的劳动法与美国的劳动法进行比较，我的意思是，我们的人员享有带薪假期，我们拥有非常良好的员工劳动条件，所以这（指控）并不是基于事实的，”卡拉斯说道。 同样面临 12.5% 关税的新加坡贸易与工业部重申其不容忍使用强迫劳动的立场，并表示将“继续与美国贸易代表办公室 (USTR) 接触以探索方案”。 日本同样对 12.5% 的出口关税表示抗议，并指出东京此前已获得特朗普政府的保证，在早前就 10% 美国进口税达成的协议之上，将不再增加关税。 “我们的理解是，双方仍致力于遵守该协议，”内阁官房长官木原稔在一次例行新闻发布会上表示。 “令人遗憾的是，尽管日本的工业和贸易符合国际规则，但该措施仍以不存在禁止进口强迫劳动产品的措施为由征收关税，”木原表示。 中国外交部在回应新的 12.5% 关税时表示，“反对所有形式的单边关税”，重申了北京长期以来的一贯表态。
旨在通过更广泛的扩张战略来吸引新客户。 Bath & Body Works 的销售额去年从疫情期间的峰值 $7.8 billion 下滑至 $7.3 billion，这主要受到竞争对手在 TikTok 上进行营销以及消费者日益怀疑香氛中化学成分的影响。 为了反击，首席执行官丹尼尔·希夫在 11 月公布了一项计划，包括在网上将“标志性”香氛作为独立品牌进行营销，并在亚马逊上提供产品。Bath & Body Works 还将于本月开始在数百家 Ulta Beauty 门店销售部分产品。 他们正在推出新产品。 特斯塔-高夫对“西瓜旋风 (Watermelon Whirl)”和“橘子旋风 (Tangerine Twirl)”寄予厚望——这两种香味是本月推出的一系列新产品中的成员。 没有人能确定为什么某些香味会成为经典，而另一些则掉进打折区。 这就是为什么该公司投入数百万美元，以便在客户爱上某种特定香味时，能够快速制造和分销更多的蜡烛、乳液、空气清新剂和身体喷雾。2011, 年，Bath & Body Works 停止从中国购买塑料瓶，并开始
在原有的社交网络上进行创新。今年 5 月，这家硅谷公司推出了一款名为 Forum 的应用程序，面向使用 Facebook Groups（Facebook 的另一个核心部分）的用户，试图在新闻推送之外培养 Facebook 最受欢迎的社区。 Facebook 由马克·扎克伯格 2004, 年在哈佛大学宿舍中创建，近年来随着 Instagram 等其他社交媒体应用的普及，其相关性受到了质疑。 虽然 Meta 已将重点转向人工智能，但该公司几乎所有的收入仍来自 Facebook 和 Instagram 上的广告。 Facebook Marketplace 已成为一个热门产品
其供应商包括 Axium Packaging，一家塑料容器制造商，该公司在俄亥俄州新奥尔巴尼的 Bath & Body Works 总部附近建立了一家工厂。 Kdc/one 是一家将香氛混合到泡沫洗手液、乳液和凝胶中的合同制造商，也在那里建立了一家工厂。 自 2008 年起，Bath & Body Works 将其战略供应商的数量从数百家整合到了 50 家。该公司向同意在新奥尔巴尼建立工厂的供应商提供长期合同，从而创建了一个被称为“美容公园”（Beauty Park）的产业集群。 “2008 年，我们整个供应链的 50% 来自中国，”托比·桑伯格（Toby Thunberg）回忆道，他当时负责 Bath & Body Works 的供应链物流，现就职于瓶子制造商 Axium。 根据 Bath & Body Works 的首席采购与供应链主管苏珊娜·朱（Susanna Zhu）的说法，如今 Bath & Body Works 85% 的供应链来自北美；其中 55% 位于美容公园。 如今，该中心使 Bath & Body Works 及其核心供应商能够更紧密地合作——将交付周期从数月缩短至数周。在疫情期间，该公司能够迅速转向生产免洗洗手液，并创下了有记录以来业绩最好的一年。
这让人们——尤其是年轻用户——对 Facebook 保持兴趣。艾莉森（Alison）表示，每天使用 Facebook 的年轻成年人中，有三分之一的人同时使用 Marketplace。 每月，全球 Marketplace 上列出的商品超过 430 million 件，其中包括 44 million 辆汽车。 用户可以使用其 Facebook 账号登录 Seller，这将同步他们之前的出售商品清单。从那里，人们可以在收件箱、包含旧清单数据的仪表板以及创建新清单的工具之间进行切换。 Seller 是免费的，对于下载该应用的用户，它也可以在 Web 浏览器中使用。Meta 通过该应用上的广告从 Marketplace 获利，并不抽取销售分成。
TikTok 未保护 儿童隐私
作者：萨姆·麦克尼尔 (Sam McNeil) 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
布鲁塞尔 —— 欧盟委员会周五表示，调查发现 TikTok 允许成年人查看未成年人的账户，未能充分保护其平台上的儿童隐私权。
委员会发言人托马斯·雷尼尔 (Thomas Regnier) 表示，这一行为使儿童面临网络欺凌、不必要的接触以及捕食性行为。
“儿童的内容绝不能对陌生人可见，”他说道。雷尼尔表示，如果 TikTok 不采取欧盟里程碑式的《数字服务法》(Digital Services Act) 所要求的措施，“未成年人将暴露在捕食者、诱导行为和网络欺凌之中”。他补充称，13 到 15 岁的儿童可以“轻易”将账户从私密状态更改为公开状态，而 16 到 17 岁未成年人的私密账户也可以被互联网上的任何人看到。
“我们不接受这种情况，”雷尼尔说。“在《数字服务法》下，为未成年人设置默认选项并不是一场美拍竞赛。它必须切实有效。”
此次调查紧随布鲁塞尔对大型科技公司的打击之后，布鲁塞尔在监管科技巨头方面一直处于世界领先地位。
TikTok 现在可以进行辩护并对调查结果作出回应。如果对这家中国社交媒体公司的回复不满意，欧盟委员会可能会做出所谓的“不合规决定”，并可能处以高达公司年总营收 6% 的罚款。
TikTok 的母公司字节跳动 (ByteDance) 总部位于北京。TikTok 在一份声明中表示，将审查布鲁塞尔的调查结果，并“继续与委员会进行建设性的沟通”。
“保护未成年人在网上的安全是我们共同的目标，我们致力于在持续改进的良好记录基础上继续努力，”TikTok 表示。
福特召回超过 500,000 辆 BRONCOS 因发动机起火风险
福特汽车公司 (Ford Motor Co.) 正在召回超过 500,000 辆 Bronco 车型，因为发动机舱内的一个线束可能会发生短路并增加起火风险。 福特在周四表示，565,691 辆 2021-2026 年款的福特 Bronco 及 Bronco Raptor 包含在此次召回中。该汽车制造商估计，大约 1% 的相关车辆存在线束缺陷。福特表示，目前尚未收到任何与该问题相关的事故或人员受伤报告。 一旦发生短路，驾驶员可能会注意到通风口有烟雾，或仪表盘上出现警告信息，随后发动机舱乘客侧会出现火焰。 此次召回涉及的车辆识别号码 (VIN) 现可在 NHTSA.gov 上查询。美国国家公路交通安全管理局 (NHTSA) 为此次召回行动分配的编号为 26V468。— 美联社
中国在遭受制裁后 对欧盟公司实施出口管制
北京 —— 中国周五宣布，将 14 家欧洲实体列入出口管制清单，以报复欧盟在最新一轮针对俄罗斯的制裁中惩罚 14 家中国企业。 中国商务部在的一份声明中表示，中国公司将被禁止向这 14 家欧洲组织出口军民两用产品。 此外，外国公司也被禁止向这 14 家实体提供中国制造的两用产品。 受影响的欧洲公司包括捷克车辆制造商 Tatra Trucks、意大利电动机制造商 Lafert SpA、德国制造商 Sindlhauser Materials GmbH 和法国无人机制造商 Cavok UAS。— 美联社
派拉蒙与华纳交易 暂停期延长至 8 月中旬
由加利福尼亚州联邦法官监管的、针对派拉蒙 Skydance 公司 $110 billion 收购华纳兄弟探索公司 (Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.) 的交易暂停期，已再次延长两周至 8 月 17 日。 美国地区法官 Araceli Martínez-Olguín 于周四发布了延长通知。她仍计划在 8 月 3 日举行听证会，决定是否在明年进行旨在永久阻止该交易的审判之前，进一步推迟该交易。 在该日期，法官将审理两项挑战，一项来自由加利福尼亚州领导的一组州检察总长，另一项来自美国编剧工会 (Writers Guild of America)。 派拉蒙坚持认为，如果允许其提交证据证明此次合并将为好莱坞带来急需的竞争，并使其能够更好地与 Netflix 和 Amazon.com 等科技巨头竞争，那么该交易将能够经受住法律挑战。— 彭博新闻

这份于周二发布的联合国粮食安全报告发现，近年来全球饥饿情况有所缓解，但预计到 2030. 年，仍可能有超过 500 万人面临慢性饥饿。预计非洲将承担这一负担的最大份额。
在 7 月 10 日接受美联社采访时，国际农业发展基金总裁阿尔瓦罗·拉里奥（Alvaro Lario）表示，地缘政治紧张局势以及航运和能源供应可能受到的干扰（包括伊朗战争期间围绕霍尔穆兹海峡的不确定性），如果这些冲击持续下去，可能会使额外 9 million 至 18 million 人面临饥饿。
“我们正处于一个冲突数量最高且仍在增加的时代，”拉里奥说。“每当发生冲突，饥饿、流离失所和难民数量也会随之增加。”
拉里奥补充道，冲突仍然是全球减轻饥饿的最大障碍之一。
战争和地缘政治紧张局势可能会干扰航运、能源供应和农业投入，从而增加本已因通货膨胀而紧张的粮食系统的成本。拉里奥强调，饥饿和冲突往往相互强化，形成一个在没有更高稳定性的情况下难以打破的循环。

燃料成本的上升增加了生产支出，并可能直接导致食品价格上涨。 新报告将“可负担性”列为全球最大的粮食安全挑战之一。尽管粮食产量持续增长，但全球仍有约三分之一的人口无法负担健康饮食。 据 Lario 称，在低收入国家，这一比例上升到约 77%。 “最大的挑战不再仅仅是生产足够的食物，而是让健康饮食变得可负担，”他说道。 气候变化进一步给粮食系统和农村生计带来压力。Lario 指出，洪水、长期干旱和极端高温正日益破坏全球农业，并已成为许多社区的普遍现实。 他表示，政府应在灾害发生前专注于韧性和适应能力，而不是仅仅依赖事后的应急响应。 报告强调，非洲是全球最紧迫的粮食安全挑战地区。非洲大陆首次超过亚洲，成为饥饿人口最多的地区；到 2030 年，全球约 60% 的长期营养不良人口可能居住在此。 Lario 将这一转变部分归因于人口快速增长以及经济收益慢于亚洲部分地区，他呼吁加大对农业、基础设施和粮食系统的投资。

香港 —— 在美国科技界引起轰动的强大中国人工智能新模型 Kimi K3，在发布后几天内因需求量过大导致容量过载，目前已暂停新订阅。
这一进展凸显了在中美科技竞赛升温之际，中国 AI 模型在服务国内外不断增长的用户群方面所面临的挑战。
包括 DeepSeek 最新 V4 在内的中国开源、低成本先进 AI 模型，在获取全球关注方面进展迅速。
在 2025 年初，DeepSeek 震撼了全球市场，帮助中国被认可为美国强有力的竞争对手。中国的前沿 AI 模型在很大程度上是开源的，这意味着人们可以查阅并在此基础上进行构建。
总部位于北京的 Moonshot AI 在周日晚间的一篇 X 帖子中写道：“Kimi K3 收到的喜爱远超我们的预期。在过去的 48 小时里，需求已接近我们目前的容量极限。”

汽车制造商正广泛地将其电动化技术适配到家庭能源业务中，尤其是随着电网需求增加以及电动汽车销量放缓。
汽车公司希望利用其数十亿美元的电动汽车投资，开发一个在车辆、家庭和电网技术领域具有前景的市场，既用于备份电源，也用于支持电网韧性。
“他们正试图寻找其他可能进入的业务领域，”密歇根大学可持续系统助理教授 Parth Vaishnav 表示。
F-150 PowerBoost 混合动力和 F-150 Lightning 电动皮卡车的驾驶员现在可以将一个 1 英尺长的适配器插入车载 240 伏插座。该适配器……
Moonshot 表示，公司将优先考虑现有订阅者，并暂时暂停新订阅。该公司补充道：“我们正在尽可能快地增加容量，并将分批重新开放新订阅名额。”
这家 AI 初创公司还在中国社交媒体上发布了类似的信息。
K3 在上周末公开推出，旨在挑战 Anthropic、OpenAI 等公司更先进的 AI 模型，这令美国竞争对手感到不安。其参数量（衡量 AI 模型能力的指标）达到 2.8 万亿，被认为是全球最大的开源 AI 模型。
“新模型的发布通常会引发巨大的兴趣，这可能会使现有的计算基础设施承压，”技术研究和咨询机构 Omdia 的首席分析师 Lian Jye Su 表示。“这表明 Moonshot AI 没有足够的计算芯片来应对当前的激增需求。”
Su 表示，关键原因很可能是 Moonshot 没有充分预料到 K3 普及程度的激增。
按照前端代码能力（AI 模型性能的一项衡量指标）计算，Kimi K3 在主要先进 AI 模型排行榜中名列前茅。
……计划审查这项拟议的 $85 亿合并案，但其要求铁路公司在月底前提供更多信息，随后才会推进。
货运方在交易两端也排起了队，一些人对更快速的跨境配送承诺感到兴奋，而主要处于化工和农业行业的其他公司则担心运费提高和服务问题的可能性。
UP 首席执行官 Jim Vena 表示，他相信与加拿大国家铁路公司 (CN) 达成的这些协议将解决合并带来的许多担忧，因为 CN 将获准服务于那些在合并后运输选择显著减少的客户。此外，CN 将接管 Norfolk Southern 在密苏里州圣路易斯和堪萨斯城的较小铁路所有权，以确保……
合并后的铁路公司将永远无法控制这些业务的大部分。
“与以往任何时候相比，现在的情况确实更具说服力，”维纳（Vena）在周四讨论联合太平洋铁路公司（Union Pacific）第二季度财报时表示，“我们认为我们拥有强有力的主张。”
加拿大国家铁路公司（Canadian National）还将获得圣路易斯与堪萨斯城之间轨道的通行权，那里是联合太平洋铁路（UP）与诺福克南方铁路（NS）重叠最多的地区；此外，加拿大国家铁路将能够使用堪萨斯城的一个关键铁路编组站，这将有助于该铁路公司在往返墨西哥的业务竞争中获得优势。联合太平洋铁路将获得在芝加哥拥堵轨道周围转移更多交通流量的能力。
“随着铁路业考虑重大的结构性变革，至关重要的是让客户继续从具有意义的竞争和选择中获益，”加拿大国家铁路公司总裁兼首席执行官特雷西·罗宾逊（Tracy Robinson）表示。
但 BNSF 发言人扎克·安德森（Zak Andersen）表示，这些协议表明，通过铁路公司之间的合作协议已经可以实现目标，而无需经历合并带来的所有混乱，因为合并会导致许多客户面对的竞争性运输方案减少。

在其公开推出后，该模型在 Arena（一个 AI 模型评估平台）的排名中表现出色。
K3 的发布也给美国科技巨头的股价带来了压力，因为人们担心更实惠的中国 AI 模型可能会削弱美国 AI 公司的定价能力和需求，尽管美国主导的限制措施已经禁止中国获取一些全球先进技术。
根据美银（Bank of America）研究分析师周五的一份报告，使用 K3 的价格是中国 AI 模型中迄今为止最高的，但仍仅为 OpenAI 的 GPT-5.6 Sol 模型的二分之一。
美国政治家和包括 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 在内的几家主要美国 AI 公司指责中国 AI 模型非法“蒸馏”其模型以提取其技术，北京方面称这一指控“毫无根据”。
Anthropic 表示，蒸馏可以是训练 AI 系统的合法方式，但当竞争对手“利用它在极短的时间内并以极低的成本从其他实验室获取强大能力，而独立开发则需要花费更多时间和成本”时，这就成了一个问题。
福特公司与 Global Power Products 公司共同研发，使车辆能够连接到一根更长的独立电缆上。该电缆连接到直接安装在房屋电表上的转换开关。
通过适配器和电缆系列，业主基本上可以将车辆直接连接到家中的断路器箱。业主只需开启或关闭他们想要为哪些设备供电的断路器开关即可。
“我们的想法是，特别是对于已经拥有兼容车辆的客户来说，您已经拥有了电源，它就在您的车道上，”福特电网与能源服务业务加速负责人阿曼达·罗夫（Amanda Roraff）说道。
根据所使用的家用设备的不同，Lightning 车型可能提供两到三天的电力，而 PowerBoost 混动车型在单箱油的情况下可提供长达五天的电力。
能源危机引发储备建设竞赛
作者：River Akira Davis 《纽约时报》
由于深度依赖中东石油和天然气，亚洲各发展中国家在长达数月的能源流动受阻中遭受沉重打击。随着美国与伊朗之间的冲突再次升级，波斯湾的航运交通几近停摆，亚洲各地区中心城市正在评估如何为未来的长期不稳定局面做准备。
菲律宾正引领一波预计会出现的发展中国家浪潮，寻求建立战略石油储备——即在供应中断期间可以动用的原油库存。日本正在提供资金和技术专业知识，东京官员表示，他们也正与印度尼西亚、泰国和越南进行类似的谈判。
前日本贸易部官员、现已加入咨询公司 The Asia Group 的 Taro Han 表示，日本的参与是为了加强其区域能源安全的一环。即便日本自身拥有大量储备，但在由石油副产品制造的商品（包括医疗用品）方面，仍深度依赖东南亚的供应链。
正如 20 世纪 70 年代石油危机改变了全球能源架构——促使全球 16 个最大经济体成立了国际能源署（IEA），要求成员国持有 90 天净石油进口量的缓冲储备——类似的结构性转变在今天也正在发生。
问题在于，随着电气化和可再生能源的普及，对于一批快速增长且能源渴求度高的国家来说，现在是否是投入数亿美元积累化石燃料储备的正确时机。
在过去的五十年里，这些储备的维护和定期部署已经提供了帮助。
（此处接续文本） ……的天然气。 该汽车制造商表示，其解决方案是一种成本更低的备用电源供应方式。传统的柴油动力便携式发电机和全屋备用电力系统需要昂贵的安装，费用高达数千美元。而这一方案（同样需要在电表处由专业人员安装）的起步价约为 $1,100。
到目前为止，该方案仅适用于约 200,000 辆汽车，且仅用于停电情况。福特还提供其家居集成系统（Home Integration System）以实现双向传输，可将电力从车辆传输至家庭，或从家庭传输至车辆，同时还能向电网馈电。据估计，已有超过 630,000 辆美国车辆具备此功能。韩国汽车品牌起亚（Kia）与电动汽车充电公司 Wallbox 展开合作，使符合条件的兼容车型驾驶员能够……
“UP 必须证明其声称的利益只能通过合并来实现。其与 CN 签署的协议恰恰表明了相反的情况。UP 所强调的利益在今天无需合并即可实现，且该协议的大部分内容甚至不取决于合并的批准，”安德森（Andersen）说道。

稳定全球供应和价格。3月，国际能源署（IEA）启动了其历史上规模最大的协调释放行动，以在中东爆发冲突后帮助稳定石油市场。
然而，这次释放对那些严重依赖波斯湾进口但没有国家战略储备的亚洲经济体影响不大。在菲律宾，最先感受到且最剧烈影响的是面临燃料成本飙升的司机。
“这对司机收入的影响是巨大的，”Piston 的全国主席莫迪·弗洛兰达（Mody Floranda）说道。Piston 是一个代表吉普尼（jeepneys）司机的劳工联盟——吉普尼是那些在马尼拉街头穿梭的、装饰华丽且镀铬的多用途车辆。吉普尼司机的基本票价约为 13 比索，或 21 美分，用于接送跳上车后方开放平台的乘客。
60 岁的弗洛兰达表示，在菲律宾支撑一个五口之家所需的日薪预计约为 1,200 比索，或 $20；但在目前的燃料价格下，一名每天工作 12 到 18 小时的司机到手仅约 400 到 600 比索。
“这显然是不够的，”他说。
4月，Piston 提交了一项请愿书，要求每次乘车涨价 10 比索，以反映更高的柴油价格。该团体目前正在等待政府的正式批准。
“十比索对收入影响不大，”弗洛兰达说，“这仅仅是为了在高油价中生存。”
菲律宾发展研究所（一家政府运行的智库）在4月的一份报告中警告称，每桶约 $105 的原油价格可能会使 1.3 百万以上的菲律宾人陷入贫困。在全球战争初期，国际油价曾高于这一水平，尽管近期价格有所回落，维持在每桶约 $90 左右，但战斗的升级再次引发了波动。
虽然供应恐慌的急性阶段似乎已经消退，但随着更高的燃料成本渗透到经济中，推高了包括食品在内的一切价格，经济损害仍在持续。
亚洲开发银行（ADB）预计，大宗商品成本的上升将拖累增长。在该行本月发布的一份报告中，将其对亚洲和太平洋地区发展中经济体的增长预测下调至 4.9% in 2026,，低于 5.5% growth in 2025。
近期 ADB 的董事会会议主要讨论如何最好地支持菲律宾及其他容易受到石油供应中断影响的亚洲发展中国家。官员们在争论应当帮助这些国家建立应急储备，还是加速摆脱对石油的依赖。

特斯拉（Tesla）的技术与之相似——允许配备相关设备的车辆驾驶员使用额外的特斯拉硬件连接到家中。Cybertruck 提供了完整的“车到家”（vehicle-to-home）能力，而其他特斯拉车型只能连接并为特定设备或电器供电。
通用汽车（General Motors）也进入了能源领域。

诺福克南方铁路（Norfolk Southern）首席执行官马克·乔治（Mark George）表示，大部分经济领域的铁路运输需求都在增长。这始于伊朗战争爆发之后。但他表示，如果油价在足够长的时间内保持高位，可能会损害消费者，且 NS 和 UP 周四报告的运输量增长可能会逆转。
美国军方：试图突破 封锁的船只已被瘫痪

伊拉克，埃尔比勒 —— 伊朗周五袭击了波斯湾周围的美国据点，与此同时，美国轰炸了伊朗的军事设施。在连续第 13 个夜晚的袭击后，这两个竞争对手都没有表现出退让冲突的迹象。 随着战斗再次升级，外交手段似乎陷入停滞，双方的举动均暗示冲突有可能进一步扩大。 美国驻中东大使馆开始提醒该地区的美国公民，离开该地区的选项可能会变得更加有限；而伊朗革命卫队则建议邻国居民远离驻有美军的基地。 伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐 (Abbas Araghchi) 誓言伊朗“不会向美国的欺凌低头”，并指出目前正与两个经常与美国不合的全球大国——中国和俄罗斯——进行讨论。他在接受半官方新闻机构 Tasnim 采访时警告称，伊斯兰共和国“既不被威胁所吓倒，也不会屈服于压力”。 冲突的中心是霍尔木兹海峡，这是全球能源供应的关键通道，目前已被伊朗的袭击实际上封锁，导致燃料价格飙升并引发了广泛的经济动荡。 美国军方表示，其向另一艘商用

约旦河西岸，纳布卢斯 —— 在一名以色列定居者被杀引发暴力，导致两名以色列士兵和四名巴勒斯坦村民死亡后，周五被占领土各地爆发冲突，以色列在约旦河西岸广泛部署军队。 随着由定居者领导者和支持者主导的以色列强硬派政府在过去 4 年中监督定居点建设激增，约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦人一直面临着一波暴力浪潮。 国际社会认为，以色列在这些地区的定居点建设是非法的，且是和平的障碍。 巴勒斯坦卫生部表示，以色列士兵在约旦河西岸北部的特尔 (Tell) 村枪杀了四名巴勒斯坦人，而军方则报告

试图突破其对伊朗港口封锁的船只。美国中央司令部发言人蒂姆·霍金斯（Tim Hawkins）上尉告诉美联社，在 M/T Lavine 号船只尝试突破封锁至少四次后，美军于周五在阿曼湾将其瘫痪。
霍金斯强调，该船船员已收到警告但未遵守指令。随后军方向其机舱开火。这是自军方重新实施封锁以来，第二艘被瘫痪的商业船只。美国中央司令部表示，还重新引导了 12 艘船只。
在伊拉克北部的埃尔比勒市（这里驻有美军分队），安全官员周五表示，美军领导的部队击落了五架载有炸药的无人机。在伊拉克半自治库尔德地区的首府埃尔比勒，重复的爆炸声此起彼伏，在美军驻地的机场附近可以看到黑烟柱。美国军方官员未就此次明显袭击的评论请求做出回应。
与此同时，伊朗革命卫队表示，其目标是位于科威特的 Udairi 美军基地，并烧毁并摧毁了三个弹药和存储棚。它还声称击中了驻巴林美国海军第五舰队的一座监视塔，称其为
两名士兵死亡，其中一名是当地防御小队的定居者。卫生官员表示，另有两名以色列人和四名巴勒斯坦人受伤；以色列军方宣布，正准备在约旦河西岸开展一次“大规模”的反恐行动。军方表示，正在搜寻涉嫌袭击以色列人的巴勒斯坦人，并在纳布卢斯的一次袭击中抓获了两名嫌疑人。
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在与以色列国防部长以色列·卡茨（Israel Katz）发表的联合声明中，周五要求向约旦河西岸增派部队，并拆除 Tell 地区被指控者的房屋，以及没收该村的武器并吊销工作许可。
他们表示：“必须允许安全部队在打击恐怖主义时自由行动并使用全部力量。”
以色列财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里赫（Bezalel Smotrich）则走得更远，他表示 Tell、Iraq Burin 和 Beit Furik 等村庄“需要看起来恰像纳布卢斯和图勒卡姆的难民营”，指的是
去年导致约旦河西岸城镇数万人流离失所的大规模拆除运动。
“为了保护当地居民，必须将那里的人口撤离，并清除这些村庄的恐怖分子基础设施，”斯莫特里赫说。“这里现在需要一次果断、坚定且明确的军事行动。”
人权组织 B’Tselem 警告称，随着以色列定居者和士兵在多个巴勒斯坦城市附近聚集，暴力可能会失控。
该组织执行主任尤利·诺瓦克（Yuli Novak）表示：“以色列的暴力正在约旦河西岸蔓延，而以色列政客公开呼吁报复则在推波助澜。我们知道这将导致什么。数百万巴勒斯坦人现在完全暴露在进一步袭击的风险中，没有人保护他们。”
周五事件的具体情况尚不明确，但以色列媒体报道以及对当地巴勒斯坦官员的采访表明，一组定居者进入了 Tell，并与担心遭到袭击的居民发生了冲突。该村被列为禁区
最大的问题是——这场晚宴最显赫的嘉宾，唐纳德·特朗普总统，会带来什么样的议题。
将其称为“白宫晚宴 2.0”，或者“第二次尝试”，或者用特朗普自己的话来说，是一张“热门”门票。
最大的未知数是，特朗普是否会带来他计划在 4 月份对媒体发表的激烈言论（他称其为“相当刻薄”）——在一次枪击者闯入安保区域导致活动陷入混乱之前。
检查点，导致房间内人员被迫撤离。
“总统期待完成他开始的事情，”新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）周四表示，确认了特朗普将出席。“我鼓励所有在明天晚上观看的人准时收看，这注定将是一个非常有趣且令人难忘的夜晚。”
至于特朗普本人，他在上个月表示不确定。“我不知道我是否会发表同样相当难听的言论，至少在涉及某些人的时候，但我们很快就会知道了，”这位共和党总统在他的 Truth Social 平台上写道。“无论如何，这将是一张‘热门’门票！”
除了简化方案外，周五的晚宴还有另一项变化：增加两项奖项。其中一项将颁给维克多·冈萨雷斯（Victor Gonzales），这名特勤局特工在 4 月份执守一个安全检查点时，其防弹背心被击中。
“冈萨雷斯警官……向危险冲去，以便其他数千人能安全回家，”白宫记者协会（WHCA）主席魏嘉·江（Weijia Jiang）在声明中表示。“他的勇气源于对服务的奉献，我们期待在本周对他表示表彰。”
第二项奖项将颁给华盛顿希尔顿酒店（Washington Hilton hotel）的工作人员，该酒店是首场晚宴的举办地。

美国中央司令部未对相关指控的询问做出回应。
巴林和约旦均表示，他们在周五拦截了伊朗的空中袭击。
据半官方新闻机构 Fars 和 ISNA 报道，在大量袭击瞄准美国及其盟友基地的同时，美国打击了伊朗北部的一个革命卫队海军基地。
据报道，美国的轰炸在伊朗的盖什姆岛（Qeshm Island）也造成了爆炸，该岛是伊朗海军资产的基地，包括可用于攻击霍尔木兹海峡船只的无人机船；此外在伊斯法罕省（Isfahan province）也发生了爆炸，那里是一个主要伊朗空军基地和其中一个伊朗核设施的所在地。
据报道，额外的袭击击中了伊朗西南部的胡齐斯坦省（Khuzestan province）和南部的法什省（Fars province）。
中央司令部表示，最新一轮袭击旨在“进一步削弱伊朗威胁在该地区海域过境的民用船员和商业船只的能力”，因为美国正致力于重新开放该海峡。
伊朗有效关闭该海峡的能力——并由此在远超中东地区的范围内造成经济混乱——使其在谈判中拥有巨大的筹码。当其胡塞武装盟友在周四袭击红海的两艘沙特油轮时，进一步增强了这一筹码。
这些袭击兑现了

以色列军方在一份声明中表示，它杀死了夺取定居者武器的男子，且该男子在被士兵枪击时持有武器。但另一段由以色列媒体发布的视频显示，以色列军队向同一片田野里趴在地上的一个巴勒斯坦人群体开火。
视频中可以听到十几次枪声。军方表示，嫌疑人是田野中被杀的人之一。对于相关问题，军方未予回应。
胡塞武装威胁要关闭 曼德海峡 以阻止与沙特相关的航运。 该海峡位于阿拉伯半岛 南端，连接红海与 亚丁湾，全球约 12% 的贸易（包括全球 集装箱流量的四分之一） 由此通过。 这条通道对于沙特阿拉伯 而言变得更加至关重要， 因为沙特被迫每天 将数百万桶石油分流， 以绕过霍尔木兹海峡。 总统唐纳德·特朗普 威胁称，如果胡塞武装 继续攻击船只，将对其 实施“重大军事惩罚”。 国际标准的布伦特原油 价格周五略有下降， 至约 $96，但与战争 开始前（当时交易价格 约为每桶 $72）相比 仍大幅上涨。 AAA 表示，美国驾驶员 看到的汽油价格小幅上涨， 平均每加仑 $4.11。 除了经济影响外， 人员伤亡同样明显， 伊朗卫生部报告称， 自战争开始以来，已有 3,434 人被杀。 在其他进展方面， 国际海事组织表示， 在霍尔木兹海峡周边 约 400 艘船只上， 至少有 6,000 名海员 被困。联合国人权事务 高级专员沃尔克·图尔克 呼吁采取“紧急行动” 提供帮助。他的办公室 表示，这些海员暴露在 战斗之中，且部分人 被船东抛弃，导致他们 在“没有食物、水、燃料、 医疗护理、电力或与家人 沟通手段的情况下，只能 自求多福”。

关于该寄生虫如何 潜入美国食品供应链的 线索浮现
作者：Alice Callahan 和 Caroline Hopkins Legaspi 《纽约时报》
关于环孢子虫 (cyclospora) 的真相虽然残酷且令人作呕，但事实就是它通过人类粪便传播。经过数十年的研究，科学家们尚未发现除人类肠道之外，该寄生虫还能在任何其他地方生长。
因此，现在我们正处于美国历史上记录规模最大的一次疫情之中，人们不得不问：人类排泄物是如何进入我们的食物中的？
随着感染在美国大部分地区激增，公共卫生调查人员正致力于查明，这种微小的寄生虫是如何污染了如此多人数消费的农产品的。
马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的食品安全微生物学家马修·摩尔 (Matthew Moore) 表示，病例数量——仅在密歇根州就有超过 6,000 人染病——表明人类粪便以某种方式在“惊人规模”上进入了我们的食品系统。
对该寄生虫生命周期的理解，以及对以往疫情情况的分析，为它是如何进入食品系统的提供了线索。
环孢子虫感染小肠，导致频繁的水样腹泻，并随之排出寄生虫的卵囊（或称卵）。如果这些卵囊随后污染了农产品——例如通过工人的未清洗双手（酒精类洗手液无法杀死该寄生虫），或者通过用于灌溉水果或蔬菜的水——那么在几天或几周后食用该食物的人可能会因此患病。
在全球食品系统中，大量新鲜农产品被运往世界各地，单一农场内洗手设施不足或厕所渗漏，都可能导致数千英里之外的许多人染病。

法国，阿尔卡雄 —— 周五，大规模森林火灾迫使法国西南部和西班牙中部的 200,000 多人撤离。随着火焰失控肆虐，马德里和波尔多附近的居民纷纷逃离城镇。
这两个欧洲国家的消防员和当局都被火势的猛烈程度搞得措手不及，高温和气候变化的长期影响加剧了火势。西班牙的消防员承认，火势之快、之烈，使其无法正面应对。当火焰席卷法国大西洋沿岸的旅游区时，甚至有人乘船逃离。
法国内政部表示，在法国的吉龙德省（Gironde）和朗德省（Landes），约有 141,000 人逃离家园。西班牙内政部表示，在西班牙中部，有 60,000 人被迫离开家园。
当局表示，数十名法国消防员受伤，但尽管出现了城镇居民乘车逃离、警察挨家挨户通知人们撤离以及邻近林区升起巨大烟柱等恐慌景象，但两国均未报告死亡病例。
法国内政部长洛朗·努涅兹（Laurent Nunez）表示，这场席卷法国西南部大片土地的大规模山火目前正向波尔多市方向推进。
努涅兹在接受法国 Tf1 电视台采访时表示，当天早些时候迫使卡普费雷半岛（Cap Ferret peninsula）撤离的山火已席卷 54 平方英里，吉龙德地区有 110,000 人逃离家园。
“我们在下午中旬获悉，随着风向转变，它已演变成一场规模巨大且能够自我维持的火灾，极难控制，”努涅兹说。“它现在正向东移动，向波尔多大都市区推进。我们将重新组织应对工作，以便在地面进行作战，防止其向波尔多方向推进。”
与此同时，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）已要求总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努（Sebastien Lecornu）启动政府的危机响应部门，并指示武装部队进行动员以……

摩尔（Moore）表示，许多用于农业用水消毒的标准技术（包括添加氯）旨在杀死细菌而非寄生虫。这意味着在测试中看似“干净”的水可能仍含有来自人类粪便的圆孢子虫。
约翰·古泽维奇（John Guzewich）在 1997 年至 2011 年期间在食品药品监督管理局负责食源性疾病暴发工作，他表示，对于大多数调查人员成功破解的圆孢子虫暴发事件，其源头要么是灌溉用水，要么是作物采收人员的卫生问题。
之前的暴发事件与生菜和沙拉混装蔬菜、树莓、罗勒、香菜、混合水果、雪豆和甜豆有关——所有这些通常都是生食。
将农产品加热到至少 158 度可以杀死这种寄生虫。研究人员发现，圆孢子虫卵囊具有特别强的“黏性”，会附着在某些类型的农产品上。
比其他微生物更强。 特拉华大学研究环孢子虫的微生物学家卡尔米亚·尼尔（Kalmia Kniel）表示，对于像树莓和香菜这样的食物尤其如此，因为它们具有可以寄宿该寄生虫的微小绒毛。 这也解释了为什么在家里用清水冲洗香草或浆果不能完全有效去除卵囊。 在创建一家食品安全咨询公司之前曾在多个州和地方公共卫生部门工作的公共卫生研究员梅尔文·克莱默（Melvin Kramer）表示，20 世纪 90 年代末几次与树莓相关的环孢子虫暴发，揭示了该寄生虫污染新鲜农产品的一种方式。 1996 年，在收集了环孢子虫感染者的详细饮食史后，调查人员将病源追溯到危地马拉几家农场的树莓。在那里，调查人员确定，很可能是喷洒在浆果上的杀虫剂
以向平民应急服务提供最大可能的增援。 当被问及波尔多是否受到威胁时，努涅兹（Nunez）表示：“目前没有。当然，我们将尽一切努力利用地面资源保护它，包括征用的军事资产和我们的消防员。” 法国最严重的这场火灾始于周三，发生在法国大西洋沿岸的卡普费雷（Cap Ferret）附近，距离波尔多 37 英里。吉伦特省的地方当局表示，53 栋房屋和一个露营地被摧毁，并补充说有 42 名消防员受伤。 约 1,500 名逃离半岛的人们经由海路抵达阿卡雄（Arcachon）市，其中一些人乘坐小型水上出租车，另一些人乘坐较大的船只。 “这相当震撼，甚至令人恐惧，”阿雷斯（Arès）镇的居民洛朗·莫雷蒂（Laurent Moretti）说。“如此规模的疏散从未发生过。” 另一场山火在朗德省（Landes）爆发，导致 31,000 人疏散。当局认为法国这两起火灾的原因均为意外。周四已有 20,000 多人从城镇和度假胜地疏散，但这一数字在周五激增。
和杀菌剂与被污染的水混合了。 这些农场的水源来自水井或附近的一条河流，两者都容易受到厕所径流的影响，尤其是在雨季。尽管水经过了过滤，但过滤器只能去除碎片，而不能去除像环孢子虫这样的微生物。 在今年之前，美国近代史上最大规模的暴发发生在 2020 年夏天，导致 14 个州的 701 人患病，其中 38 人住院。 联邦官员将其与 Fresh Express 包装沙拉（包含冰山生菜、红卷心菜和胡萝卜）联系起来。 他们将其中至少部分农产品追溯到南佛罗里达州的一个农场，并在附近一个用于农场作物灌溉的水渠中检测到了环孢子虫。 随后，基因分析证实，在水渠中发现的环孢子虫与此次暴发中患病人员体内发现的相匹配。前高级官员弗兰克·亚纳斯（Frank Yiannas）表示。
基辅郊外的一次国防活动遭袭
作者：Illia Novikov 美联社
乌克兰，基辅 —— 乌克兰政府和行业官员表示，俄罗斯周五对基辅附近一个举办国防工业活动的地点发动袭击，造成至少10人死亡，近100人受伤。
此次弹道导弹袭击发生在前一天乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在基辅与雷神公司 (Raytheon) 高级代表会面之后。雷神是一家美国公司，生产爱国者防空系统，乌克兰迫切需要该系统来对抗俄罗斯在推进入侵时使用的具有毁灭性的弹道导弹。雷神公司未立即回复关于其员工是否在活动现场的电子邮件查询。
“爱国者系统的导弹是重中之重，”泽连斯基在社交媒体上报告此次袭击时表示。
代理地区军事行政负责人鲁斯兰·奥利尼克 (Ruslan Oliinyk) 在 Facebook 上引用初步信息写道，袭击击中了一个私人经营的军事训练场，当时该场地正在举办一项活动。
该地点位于布查区，距离基辅中心约 12 至 19 英里。
奥利尼克表示，应急救援人员已赶赴现场，那里还有 27 栋房屋和 44 辆汽车受损。
乌克兰国防工业委员会（自称是该国最大的私人国防制造商协会）表示，行业代表在袭击发生时正处于现场。
该国总检察长鲁斯兰·克拉夫琴科 (Ruslan Kravchenko) 已针对此次袭击启动战争罪调查，并就组织该活动可能存在的疏忽启动了另一项刑事案件。
克拉夫琴科表示，调查人员将审查谁批准了活动的地点、时间及形式，以及是否采取了足够的预防措施。
乌克兰政府对此次袭击实施了报道限制。
与此同时，该地区州长表示，乌克兰对俄罗斯一家军工厂的袭击造成 6 人死亡， 26 人受伤。
雷神公司的会面发生在唐纳德·特朗普总统誓言将授予乌克兰生产爱国者导弹许可不到三周后。这一承诺标志着一个重要的转变，因为特朗普近期对泽连斯基采取了更为积极的语气。
另一个表明乌克兰正在改变华盛顿方面看法的迹象是，特朗普的坚定盟友劳拉·卢默 (Laura Loomer) 周四在基辅与泽连斯基会面。
在多年淡化此次入侵之后，她谴责俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京对乌克兰发动的导弹袭击。
这位乌克兰领导人周四晚间表示，他与雷神代表团举行了会谈，并补充说该公司准备与乌克兰共同生产爱国者拦截弹。
该系统由雷达、指挥控制系统和不同类型的拦截导弹组成。
“我们的团队——无论是政府层面的还是私营部门的——都将……”

……FDA 2018 至 2023 年期间。 亚纳斯 (Yiannas) 表示，这是在他任期内发生的唯一一次调查人员能够找到污染源的圆孢子虫 (cyclospora) 疫情。
“FDA 能够具体指出污染源——无论是农场、田地还是牧场——是非常罕见的。”他补充说，调查人员查明农产品最初是如何被污染的就更罕见了。
但他说，对于大多数大型圆孢子虫疫情，受污染的灌溉水是最可能的污染途径。
尼尔 (Kniel) 表示，考虑到此次疫情的规模，不太可能是一个在采收农产品前没有正确洗手的一名病人导致如此广泛的疾病。
相反，寄生虫可能已扩散到多名农场工人，导致许多人在排泄物中排出卵囊。
随后，化粪池系统的一个泄漏……
或者强降雨可能导致人类排泄物渗入用于灌溉作物的水源。同样类型的污染也可能影响用于清洗新鲜农产品的水源，或者通过收获及加工设备传播。
“要出现这么多病例，必须有大量的农产品使用了大量被大量环孢子虫污染的水进行灌溉，”佛罗里达大学食品安全教授基思·R·施耐德（Keith R. Schneider）表示。
尼尔（Kniel）表示，切碎并袋装的生菜特别容易受到污染，因为来自多个田块的许多棵生菜在加工前可能会混合在一起。
亚纳斯（Yiannas）表示，如果联邦调查人员想要找到此次疫情的原因，他们需要“深入现场，对环境进行极其大量的采样”。他补充道，否则“他们将无法确定原因”。
这种程度的采样——与环孢子虫调查中的其他步骤一样——需要资源、专业知识和时间。
“有些人认为疫情调查可以在 50 分钟内解决，就像电视侦探剧里的谋杀谜案那样，”古泽维奇（Guzewich）说。“如果真是那样，我也希望如此。”
专家还表示，气候变暖可能会导致环孢子虫病例增加。罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）的食品微生物学家唐·沙夫纳（Don Schaffner）表示，环孢子虫倾向于在春季和夏季生长，因此更高的温度可能会延长其生长季节。
无论此次疫情是否与气候变化直接相关，我们都知道，变暖预计将推动多种食源性病原体的传播。
部分原因是像沙门氏菌（salmonella）和弯曲杆菌（campylobacter）这样的细菌在更炎热的天气中繁殖速度更快。
“将保持密切联系以共同解决（这个问题），”泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示。
泽连斯基急于尽快达成一项共同生产协议，因为俄罗斯正无情地发射难以拦截且造成平民伤亡的弹道导弹，并对平民区域造成巨大破坏。
多年来，泽连斯基一直恳请西方伙伴提供更多、更快速的“爱国者”导弹交付。
乌克兰已经开发了自己的创新防空系统，但大规模生产至关重要。
即便如此，专家和基辅官员警告称，在乌克兰建立生产线可能需要数年时间。
去年，当特朗普政府试图通过外交努力结束战争时，普京将俄罗斯描绘成处于强势地位的谈判者。
到目前为止，和平努力尚未产生结果。
但自 2014, 年首次攻击邻国以来，俄罗斯仅占领了该国约 20% 的领土。
西方官员和分析师表示，目前俄罗斯军队的推进正陷入停滞，原因是乌克兰利用其在国内研发的尖端无人机技术，成功发动了前线及中长程攻击，而这些技术现在正被其他国家所觊觎。
该线最初被视为 仅为临时性的 领土划分
作者：Lee Keath 和 Julia Frankel 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
开罗 —— 根据卫星图像显示，以色列军队正在悄悄但快速地修建一道巨大的土质屏障，将其实际控制的超过 50% 的加沙地带与该领土的其余部分隔离开来，进一步加深了这一巴勒斯坦小飞地的分裂。
近几个月来，已有超过 14 英里的屏障建成，其路径穿过了被军方摧毁的巴勒斯坦社区。这相当于该沿海地带长度的一半以上，该地带全长约 25 英里，宽 7 英里，居住着超过 200 万巴勒斯坦人。
在面对卫星图像时，以色列军方向美联社 (Associated Press) 确认，他们已在所谓的“黄线”区域修建了实体屏障，该线是以色列军队在与哈马斯的 10 月停火协议下撤出的边界。在美国支持的协议中，该线被构想为在以色列完全撤军之前的临时领土划分线。
但随着停战陷入停滞，以色列似乎正在固守，这加剧了巴勒斯坦人的担忧，即该线正在演变成一条国界。无论是负责监督停火的美国中央司令部，还是由唐纳德·特朗普总统领导、旨在最终监督加沙的和平委员会 (Board of Peace)，均不对该屏障发表评论。
除屏障外，军方告诉美联社，他们已在该线周围建立了一个配备情报和技术设施的“安全区”。当被问及屏障将延伸到多远时，军方拒绝提供有关屏障路线的细节。军方表示
民主党委员会选择 南卡罗来纳州开启 2028年初选时间表
来自新闻服务机构
华盛顿 —— 周五，南卡罗来纳州被选中再次领跑民主党 2028 年总统提名日程。这极有可能通过将爱荷华州移出时间表首位并提升种族多样化州的地位，从而彻底打破延续数十年的传统。
民主党全国委员会（DNC）规则与章程委员会的这一决定还需要经过整个组织的批准，该组织计划于 8 月举行会议。此前人们预计南卡罗来纳州或内华达州将排在首位，这两个州都为争取这一 coveted 席位而展开了激烈的竞选。
在南卡罗来纳州使其陷入困境的 2020 年总统竞选活动复活后，乔·拜登总统成功推动将南卡罗来纳州移至民主党 2024 年时间表的首位。长期以来，南卡罗来纳州一直是首个南方contest，并且是测试候选人在黑人群体中支持度的关键考验。
周五出席会议的前 DNC 主席 Jaime Harrison 在投票后告诉美联社，让他的家乡州在民主党提名时间表中排在第一位，向黑人选民传达了他们给党带来的价值，特别是在一项旨在削弱其投票权的最高法院裁决之后。
“我认为我们需要向我们党最忠实的成员，即黑人选民，发出一个强有力的声明，告诉他们我们将与你们站在一起，”同时担任南卡罗来纳州民主党主席的 Harrison 说道。“这对我们来说非常重要，我们要站出来说：‘我们看到了你们，听到了你们的声音，但最重要的是，我们将为你们拼尽全力。你们的声音至关重要。’”
少数几个南方州的民主党领导人此前曾游说南卡罗来纳州重新担任党内全国首场contest的举办地。他们在写给 DNC 的信中主张，该州最能代表总统候选人构建获胜所需联盟的初始竞技场，并可作为“我们政党和国家的道德与政治指南针”。
这次改革反映了民主党在经历了多年由爱荷华州和新罕布什尔州（这两个州拥有压倒性的白人选民）主导的时间表后，努力赋予那些能更好反映该党多样化联盟（特别是黑人和拉丁裔选民）的州以更大的影响力。

该障碍物旨在防止渗透，并保护加沙附近的以色列军队和以色列社区。
自停火协议生效以来，加沙的巴勒斯坦人担心以色列不会归还其控制的加沙地区。但由于靠近该区域具有危险性，似乎很少有人意识到现在周围正在修建的土堤。
根据 Planet Labs PBC 提供的卫星图像，本月两周内，加沙南部土堤网络的一部分延伸了 1.2 英里以上。
7 月 1 日，土堤长约 0.3 英里。到 7 月 15 日，其长度约为 1.5 英里，将以色列控制的拉法市废墟与 Muwasi（一些规模最大的巴勒斯坦帐篷营地所在地）隔开。
如果建设继续——
环孢子虫爆发：联邦卫生官员周五将一项导致腹泻的寄生虫爆发调查范围扩大到另外四个州，扩大了美国规模最大的环孢子虫（Cyclospora）爆发范围。
疾病控制与预防中心表示，最初与 Taco Bell 餐厅供应的切碎生菜相关的此次爆发，现在包括伊利诺伊州、堪萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州和宾夕法尼亚州。此前，该机构的调查涵盖五个州：印第安那州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、俄亥俄州和西弗吉尼亚州。
目前与生菜相关的病例数为 1,947 例，其中至少 98 人必须住院。该机构在其网站上报告，目前没有死亡病例。
走私死亡事件：周五有 11 人被指控导致 7 名移民死亡。这些移民在被走私进入美国后，被困在德克萨斯州酷热的火车集装箱内。
在 5 月于德克萨斯州边境城市拉雷多 (Laredo) 的货运集装箱内发现的六名死者中，有一名 14 岁男孩。据德克萨斯州西区联邦检察官贾斯汀·R·西蒙斯 (Justin R. Simmons) 称，另有一人在圣安东尼奥的铁轨附近被遗弃并被认为已经死亡。
西蒙斯表示，该团体在德克萨斯州边境小镇德尔里奥 (Del Rio) 登上火车，打算前往圣安东尼奥，但当那里的走私者打开门时，一名男子掉了出来，于是他们关上门逃跑了。
次日，火车开往拉雷多，联合太平洋铁路场 (Union Pacific Rail Yard) 的一名工作人员看到一只腿伸在外面，随后在内部发现了其他 6 具尸体。
西蒙斯说：“在那些人中，有人在集装箱的酷热中濒临死亡时，疯狂地联系他们的家人。”
当局表示，这些移民来自洪都拉斯和墨西哥。韦布县 (Webb County) 的法医怀疑死亡原因是体温过高或中暑。

（接前文）……若按照目前的路线方向继续，它将与最长的一段屏障连接起来，该屏障从南部城市汗尤尼 斯 (Khan Younis) 到北部的加沙城附近，几乎连续延伸约 10 英里。
卫星图像显示，该路段于 2 月开始施工，且向南延伸的工程似乎仍在继续。在 6 月 21 日至 7 月 7 日期间，增加了超过 0.5 英里，靠近一座建在汗尤尼斯附近巴尼苏海拉 (Bani Suheila) 镇废墟上的以色列军事基地。
在加沙极北地区，几段不相连的土堤就位于基本被夷平的贝特拉希亚 (Beit Lahia) 镇外。
各处土堤的高度尚不清楚。在某些地方，屏障似乎运行在黄线之外。
加沙的人口被挤在黄线以西的沿海地区，大多数人住在肮脏的帐篷营地并依赖援助。
在黄线的另一侧，卫星图像显示以色列军队使用推土机和炸药夷平了绝大多数建筑，几乎抹去了几个城镇以及曾有 25 万以上人口居住的拉法 (Rafah)。
他们在巴勒斯坦城镇的废墟上开辟了新的道路网络并设立了新基地。农田也被摧毁。以色列军方表示，它正在拆除哈马斯使用的基础设施。
无论是在停火协议中，还是由以色列或美国官员定义，黄线从未被精确定义，且在地面上的标记并不一致。军方告诉美联社，它正致力于清晰地标记黄线的路线。
欧盟贸易行为：美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示，美国将对欧盟的贸易行为启动正式调查，声称该集团不公正地对谷歌 (Google)、苹果 (Apple) 和其他美国科技巨头处以数十亿美元的罚款。
这位共和党总统在欧盟对谷歌处以 $1 billion 罚款的一天后发表了这一声明。欧盟称，这家科技巨头通过设置 Google Play 及其无处不在的搜索引擎，将消费者引导至自己的服务和应用程序，损害了竞争对手，从而违反了数字反垄断法规。
特朗普在社交媒体上的一篇帖子中表示，他已经警告过欧盟关于其对美国科技公司处以罚款的行为。他点名提及了谷歌、苹果、Meta、亚马逊 (Amazon) 等公司。
线，以“减少摩擦并防止无关人员受到伤害”。
以色列军队已经杀死了接近或跨越该线的巴勒斯坦人。以色列军方表示，其开火目标是那些被认为威胁其部队的武装分子。但被杀者中包括儿童和其他似乎不知道该线的平民。一些士兵表示，他们并不总是知道自己在向谁开火，并且接到的命令是杀死任何跨越边界的人。
自停火开始以来，以色列军队已杀死了 1,100 多个巴勒斯坦人，其中大多数死于加沙周边的空袭和无人机袭击。同一时期，武装分子袭击杀死了五名以色列士兵。
根据希法医院（Shifa Hospital）的消息，周二早些时候，以色列在加沙城的一次袭击杀死了菲拉斯·马斯里（Firas al-Masri）、他的妻子以及他们 6 到 13, 岁的四个孩子。以色列军方仅表示，他们当时在该地区对哈马斯武装分子进行了打击。
菲拉斯的哥哥艾哈迈德·马斯里（Ahmad al-Masri）就住在附近，他说他在爆炸发生的一刻听到了孩子们的叫声。
“他们在对我喊，‘叔叔！叔叔！’”他说，“但大火在肆虐，我们无能为力。”
根据停火协议，以色列最终应将其部队进一步撤离至加沙的最边缘，并由国际安全部队接替。但该协议的执行已停滞数月。
一名目前负责协调停火的前联合国外交官将原因归咎于哈马斯未能解除武装。旨在达成武器除役方案的零星谈判似乎没有取得太大进展，而哈马斯反过来指责以色列违反停火协议。
在得知父亲被杀的混乱中，要求对他的死因及原因进行透明调查。
洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍（Lorenzo Salgado Araujo）于 7, 月 7 日被杀。当时，移民与海关执法局（ICE）的官员在街道上追逐他的白色工作货车，随后在他的工作团队（包括他的兄弟）面前，通过车窗对他开枪。
萨尔加多·阿劳霍的儿子们在休斯顿的一次与民主党国会议员的听证会上宣读了准备好的发言稿。在将父亲描述为一个谦虚、勤劳的家庭男人时，儿子们的声音经常因激动而哽咽。他在美国没有合法身份地生活了 35 年，经营一家房屋建筑业务，从未触犯法律。
国土安全部在枪击发生后不久表示，萨尔加多·阿劳霍将货车撞向追击他的移民局车辆，然后“将车辆武器化，企图碾压一名 ICE 执法人员”，而该官员是出于自卫开火。这些官员当时没有佩戴身体记录仪。
货车内至少两名乘客对政府的描述提出了异议，称官员们撞上了货车，且在官员开火时，他们安全地处于车辆侧面，从未处于被撞击的危险之中。货车内的三名乘客均被逮捕，目前仍处于移民拘留状态。
国际刑事法院（ICC）罢免：国际刑事法院首席检察官卡里姆·汗（Karim Khan）于周五被撤职，在他首次被指控性行为不端近两年后。
法院的监督机构表示，ICC 的 125 个成员国以绝大多数票通过，由于“严重不当行为”而撤销 56, 岁的汗的职务。
汗是一名英国大律师，被指控与一名女性助手发生性行为不端。他当时驻在荷兰海牙。

将反讽、真诚与 宗教元素模糊化
作者：Krysta Fauria 美联社
独立音乐人亚历克斯·卡梅伦以其违禁倾向的歌词而闻名。因此，当他在洛杉矶一个时尚街区的演唱会上充满激情地唱起关于耶稣的歌曲时，观众似乎不确定他希望他们地笑还是崇拜。 “耶稣从没看过色情片 / 耶稣从没碰过可卡因 / 耶稣没去过伊比萨岛 / 他甚至没去过西班牙，”这位澳大利亚创作歌手低吟道，引发了现场零星的笑声。 这种荒诞与真诚的结合，反映出一种对存在主义问题的艺术探讨，这种探讨正日益引起人们的共鸣，其中许多人已脱离了有组织的宗教。一些学者甚至为其命名为：“虔诚的不敬”（reverent irreverence）。 当卡梅伦唱到副歌时，笑声停止了。 “但每当他开口说话 / 人们便聚集在他周围 / 当他为他们洗脚时 / 恶魔全部被驱除 / 那么，他何时会再次降临？”他在忧郁的电吉他伴奏下唱道。 对某些人来说这很有趣，而对另一些人来说则可能具有冒犯性，这里存在一种

托里·凯莉（Tori Kelly）近期的工作非常繁忙。 首先，这位多才多艺的创作歌手兼吉他手在6月推出了她的第六张录音室专辑——《God Must Really Love Me》。这位三届格莱美奖得主还踏上了旅途，作为福雷斯特·弗兰克（Forrest Frank）大热的“耶稣一代”（Jesus Generation）巡演的主要支持嘉宾。 然而，比这一切更重要的是，这位前《美国偶像》（American Idol）参赛者正享受着为人新母的生活，她在11月迎来了她的第一个孩子——儿子扎伊登·迈克尔·穆里略（Zayden Michael Murillo）。 凯莉在家庭节目观众中最为人熟知的是在动画电影《欢乐好声音》（Sing）中为大象米娜（Meena）配音。她说，扎伊登的到来对她的巡演和新专辑产生了巨大的影响和启发。 本次对凯莉的采访经过编辑，以确保清晰度和篇幅。
对于《耶稣从未看过色情片》（Jesus Never Had No Porno）以及卡梅伦（Cameron）其他涉及类似主题的歌曲，其真诚感是显而易见的。
“你被笑声缴械了。现在你对任何事情都处于开放状态。你对深沉的悲伤或希望敞开了心扉，”卡梅伦在现已发行的专辑《太迟才设定》（Late to Set）之前的采访中说道。“这就是我的整个生活。它是严肃的，但它也很幽默。”
这种讽刺崩溃并转化为真诚的现象，被一些人解读为年轻一代处理仪式感、意义和真实性的一种方式，即便在最近几十年里，美国参与有组织宗教的人数大幅下降。
“无论你是否信仰，宗教都被理解为一种力量的来源，”在耶鲁大学研究宗教与流行文化的凯瑟琳·洛夫顿（Kathryn Lofton）表示。随着世界变得日益混乱且失去了道德界限，洛夫顿发现越来越多的怀疑论者在寻找神圣的场景，以便在那里体验超越感和社区感。
尽管不隶属于任何有组织宗教的人（被称为“无宗教者”）在增加，但宗教仍然是一个创作基准。它作为一种共享语言的持久实用性延伸到了流行文化的上层，从碧昂丝（Beyoncé）对约鲁巴（Yorùbá）宗教和其他非洲离散灵性的接触，到罗莎莉亚（Rosalía） 2025 年受天主教、女性圣徒和神秘主义启发的概念
[[IMG_XXXX]] 托里·凯利（Tori Kelly）发行了她的第六张录制专辑《上帝一定真的很爱我》（God Must Really Love Me）。MONICA SCHIPPER/GETTY 2025
专辑《光》（Lux）。这些主题并不局限于明显的福音传播渠道，如当代基督教广播电台。
但当宗教被那些作品被认为幽默的喜剧演员或艺术家引用时，它对于那些认为自己不受传统信仰文化和政治关联影响的人具有独特的吸引力。
“一个在玩弄它、对其感到幽默且具有讽刺感的人——这是他们探讨这类问题，同时又能保持‘合理否认’（即否认自己真的对宗教感兴趣）的一种方式，”圣路易斯华盛顿大学的教授利·埃里克·施密特（Leigh Eric Schmidt）说道。
在内森·菲尔德（Nathan Fielder）的 HBO 纪录剧集《彩排》（The Rehearsal）中，宗教是一个重复出现的主题，他探讨了围绕跨信仰关系、反犹主义、宽恕和数秘术的想法。
“我是在犹太教环境下长大的，我仍然庆祝所有的节日之类的，”他在一集中叙述道，并补充说他“已经很多年没去犹太会堂了，因为那里太无聊了”。
对于一些粉丝来说，模糊性正是菲尔德幽默的吸引力所在。“你永远不知道他是不是认真的，”来自亚特兰大的健康影响力人士谢拉·玛丽（Shelah Marie）， 41 岁，说道。
“为了保持理智，我们必须感受到一种不断增加的解离感。”
能够实时地拥有像音乐这样的出口，来表达成为母亲所带来的所有这些新情绪，真是太棒了——能有一个地方将这些感受安置并拆解开来。
“我们接收到的信息量之大，简直到了病态的地步，”她说道。“也许，表现得荒诞是我们的一种自我保护。”
摇滚乐队 Geese 的主唱卡梅隆·温特（Cameron Winter）在他首张个人专辑《Heavy Metal》中模糊了这些界限。“上帝是真的，上帝是真的 / 我没开玩笑，上帝真的是真的，”他高唱道。
虽然说自己“没开玩笑”可能会引起怀疑，但其威严的嗓音带有如此的分量，以至于人们很难将他的宣告仅仅视为讽刺。
“这是一个微妙的界限，”施密特（Schmidt）说道。他在 2024 年共同组织了一系列题为“虔诚的不敬：戏仿、宗教与当代政治”的讲座。“你有时无法让人们相信你不仅仅是在嘲笑他们。”
其中一场讲座讨论的是“停止购物教会”（Church of Stop Shopping），该组织由导演萨维特里·D（Savitri D）领导，并由演员兼剧作家威廉·塔伦（William Talen）扮演“比利牧师”（Reverend Billy）这一角色。
社会学家乔治·冈萨雷斯（George González）在其关于该团体的著作中提到，当这个反消费主义团体讽刺保守派新教教派的陈词滥调时，“讽刺让位于对真诚持有的共同价值的阐述”。
为了证明这种真诚，尼尔·杨（Neil Young）在 2024 年的巡演中邀请了“停止购物唱诗班”为其开场。
“我们是一家为许多后宗教时代的人们而设立的教会，”塔伦在反思这意味着什么时说，即“在极其严肃地充满（讽刺）的同时，也极其严肃地充满上帝”。
基督教神学家哈维·考克斯（Harvey Cox）在 20te世纪60年代写道，幽默如何能有效地吸引人们走进教会。他指出，当社会偶像被用来“以一种讽刺的方式表达不同的观点时，我们将一层又一层的细微差别叠加在一起，将讽刺、希望与俏皮相结合”。
如今，这些艺术家正与那些感受到人工智能对创意和文化产生影响的观众一起，探讨幽默与信仰之间的关系。
“我们再也无法分辨表面与深度，无法分辨瑰宝与赝品，”冈萨雷斯说。“我的艺术是真的吗，还是由算法生成的？”
卡梅隆敏锐地意识到了这种紧张关系，他开玩笑说，人类正朝着仅为科技公司服务的方向发展。“我们最终难道不都会被关在培育舱里，他们填满每一个孔窍，以便从我们身上榨取体验吗？”
但这种焦虑与对超越性的寻找交织在一起。尽管他从小没有去教会的习惯，但卡梅隆在成年后尝试将其养成习惯。
“只是尝试让自己沉浸在某种仪式感之中，”他说。“魔法是真的，上帝也是真的，而且我认为这些事情在很大程度上是被广泛接受的。”
（以下为访谈部分）
……成为一名父母，我当时感到一种极大的震撼。我的内心如此充盈，现在依然充盈且在不断扩大。这简直是我人生中最大的祝福。
问：当你在歌曲中唱到你的儿子时，人们能清晰地听到这一点。 答：我想，这里有一个贯穿始终的主题，那就是感恩、和平与爱。这些宏大的主题就像这张专辑的伞盖——因此，你知道，专辑的名字叫《上帝一定真的很爱我》（God Must Really Love Me）。我认为一切都源于这个标题，这也是为什么我想这样命名它的原因。
问：你用多种不同的方式表达爱与感激之情——运用了原声流行、R&B、灵魂乐、福音音乐等。 答：当我思考音乐和不同的流派时，你知道，我以前做过福音项目，做过流行音乐，尝试过这些不同的流派。我想这是我第一次说：“你知道吗？我不想选择某种特定的流派。我希望所有这些都能在同一张专辑中共存，因为这就是我。我的信仰是我生活每一个方面的一部分。所以，与其选择一条车道，不如让我随心而发，看看会产生什么。这就是最终呈现出来的结果。”
问：作为一名新晋母亲，在巡演期间的体验如何？ 答：我甚至无法想象离开他的感觉，你懂吗？能够一边处于工作模式，一边带着（Zayden）在旅途中，同时还能扮演母亲的角色，这是一种非常特别的纽带。当然，我还在摸索这一切是如何运作的。我并不自称是个专家，因为对我来说这一切都非常新鲜。但我能说的是，这给我带来了巨大的快乐，而且看到这两者能够协调运作且无需担心如何平衡，真的太棒了。我还必须感谢我的丈夫（André Murillo），因为我认为如果没有他的支持，我将无法做到这一点。他从第 1 天起就给予了我极大的支持，并完全进入了“奶爸模式”，这太酷了。在这件事上我们非常像队友，所以这对我们的关系也起到了非常积极的作用。

《暮光之城》演员阵容在动漫展集结
By Javier Arciga 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
当全美最大的流行文化大会于周四开幕时，约翰尼·德普 (Johnny Depp) 饰演的埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇 (Ebenezer Scrooge) 责备了国际动漫展的参会者。
“你们有工作吗？看来你们有太多的空闲时间。你们为什么在这里？”这位演员身穿大衣、头戴高顶礼帽，从一家标有“斯克鲁奇与马利”招牌的模拟雪线圣迭戈市中心店面中走出，说道。
人群聚集在一起，用手机录像并喊道：“圣诞快乐！”
“我只能说你们全都是非常、非常古怪的人。胡说八道！”德普声音沙哑地喊道，然后拖着脚步回到了建筑内部。
《埃比尼泽》(Ebenezer) 定于 11 月 13 日上映，这是该明星八年来首部工作室电影。他在煤气灯区 (Gaslamp Quarter) 街道上的现身——且不在任何官方小组讨论之外——符合近年来一些好莱坞工作室在博览会上采取的更具“游击式”的营销和推广手段。
预计这场为期四天的会议将有超过 120,000 人参加，该会议始于 1970 年的一次科幻和漫画粉丝聚会。
乐队构建了瑰丽的声音之墙
作者：Jem Aswad VARIETY
在最近的一个深夜，我酒店房间楼下发出的机械噪音让我无法入睡——那是一种沉闷的、喘息般的、磨损的声音，像是一辆垃圾车，轰鸣几分钟然后停下来，再过几分钟又重新开始，震动地板的幅度恰好让人感到极其心烦。这种情况持续了几个小时；如果声音是恒定的，我或许还能习惯，但这种令人发狂的断断续续让放松变得不可能，也让白噪音失效了（我尝试过了）。当时夜太深，无法更换房间，而我第二天还有很长的一天要面对。
突然，我想到了一个解决方案：我在笔记本电脑上播放了 Sunn O))) 的新专辑——如果用一个简略但基本准确的描述，这是一种重金属氛围音乐。在那之后，我这一晚睡得很安稳。
这是一个完全违背直觉的解决方案：为什么长达一小时以上压抑、失真的电吉他波形和反馈音会如此美丽且平静，甚至能让人在其中入睡——尤其是对于一个从不听音乐睡觉的人来说？
《Sunn O)))》，这张由来自西雅图的资深双人组 Greg Anderson 和 Stephen O’Malley 创作的 20-somethingth 张同名专辑，将其归类为爵士乐、古典乐或前卫音乐，都要比归类为摇滚乐更容易，尽管它唯一的乐器正是最具摇滚色彩的物件：电吉他。这里没有打击乐，没有人声，似乎也没有任何单一的音符；虽然有歌曲结构（或至少是作曲），但你很难将其辨认出来。它仅仅是由巨大的强力弦（power chords）和反馈音组成，以一种让人联想到随机生成的视频图像或马克·罗斯科（Mark Rothko）绘画的方式，低沉地鸣响并变换着形状，就像这张专辑封面上的画作一样。当你在博物馆里静静凝视罗斯科的一幅巨作几分钟时，你会感觉它似乎在移动。虽然这不是一个直接的类比，但这正是这张专辑给人的感觉。你几乎会忘记它正在播放，尽管很难想象一个人能忽略 80 分钟大声、低鸣的吉他声。
为什么它会产生这样的效果？Sunn O))) 的不同之处在于，乐队并不强求你的注意力——尽管具有攻击性和音量，但其中几乎没有冲击感。你只需要像在海洋中心随波逐流一样，顺着这些和弦起伏即可。
虽然这张专辑是同名专辑，但 Sunn O))) 已经从事这项工作超过 25 年了，他们受到了 90 年代一些地理位置遥远但在精神上互补的团体的启发，例如西雅图的

以及漫威偶像杰克·科比（Jack Kirby）的亮相。 K-pop 组合 Enhypen 与首部《暮光之城》电影导演凯瑟琳·哈德威克（Catherine Hardwicke）以及系列电影演员彼得·法西内利（Peter Facinelli）和艾希莉·格林（Ashley Greene）一起参加了周四关于吸血鬼叙事的故事研讨会。这标志着众多跨流行文化交流时刻中的一个。
Comic-Con 已经发展到涵盖了角色扮演（cosplay）比赛、签名摊位、障碍赛、音乐会以及涵盖从电子游戏到电影海报艺术和击剑等所有内容的研讨会。来自铁娘子（Iron Maiden）的布鲁斯·迪金森（Bruce Dickinson）和《幽灵》演员阿舍尔·格罗德曼（Asher Grodman）在周四讨论了“好莱坞与击剑的恋爱关系”。
随着漫威影业利用 Comic-Con 为 12 月上映的《复仇者联盟：末日》（Avengers: Doomsday）营造热度，并试图在观众对超级英雄电影兴趣减弱的情况下规划前进路径，复仇者联盟似乎准备重返 H 厅。周六的那场研讨会是这个全美最大流行文化展会中最受期待的一小时，展会一直持续到周日。
DC 影业准备通过在圣迭戈 Gaslamp 区的一个“训练总部”活动，来展示其 HBO 系列剧集《灯侠》（Lanterns）。
季度及一场由明星亚伦·皮埃尔 (Aaron Pierre) 和凯尔·钱德勒 (Kyle Chandler) 主演的讨论会。该场演示与漫威 (Marvel) 的一样，将在可容纳 6,500 人的顶级展厅：H厅 (Hall H) 举行。内部禁止实时直播，但现场粉丝的在线反应可以迅速提升——或摧毁——一部电影或电视剧的前景。
另一个电视节目的亮点：随着 Apple TV 为这部喜剧恐怖剧集的 19 项艾美奖提名而庆祝，该剧“寡妇湾” (Widow’s Bay) 的演员预计将于周六访问海湾会议中心。
喜剧迷们无需在沙漠中搜寻即可获得关于《太空球：新篇章》(Spaceballs: The New One) 的更新信息，该片是周五讨论会的焦点。这部定于明年上映的电影由里克·莫拉尼斯 (Rick Moranis)、比尔·普尔曼 (Bill Pullman) 和梅尔·布鲁克斯 (Mel Brooks) 主演，他们将重现布鲁克斯 1987 年讽刺片中的角色。
7月 25 日生日：歌手布鲁斯·伍德利 (Bruce Woodley) 84. 岁。贝斯手弗丁·怀特 (Verdine White) 75 岁。超级名模伊曼 (Iman) 71 岁。演员伊莉娜·道格拉斯 (Illeana Douglas) 65. 岁。歌手马蒂·布朗 (Marty Brown) 61. 岁。演员马特·勒布朗 (Matt LeBlanc) 59. 岁。演员温迪·拉奎尔·罗宾逊 (Wendy Raquel Robinson) 59. 岁。演员米里亚姆·肖尔 (Miriam Shor) 55. 岁。演员詹姆斯·拉弗蒂 (James Lafferty) 41. 岁。演员林赛·戈德弗雷 (Linsey Godfrey) 38. 岁。演员梅森·库克 (Mason Cook) 26 岁。
Earth 和英国后研磨核 (post-grindcore) 团体 Godflesh —— 两者均为双人组，且都是节奏缓慢的乐队，偶尔认为传统的歌曲和和弦进程（即 Riff）是不必要的。
他们的手法既带有戏谑意味又极其严肃：安德森 (Anderson) 和奥马利 (O’Malley) 在巨大的复古放大器堆前、浓密的干冰烟雾中，身披带兜帽的僧袍进行表演，但他们同时表示这张专辑中有“数百”次吉他叠加录音。这两位音乐家在 80 年代后期均起步于硬核乐队，并于 1998, 年组建了 Sunn O)))，但他们还与数十个其他团体在多种重型音乐流派中合作过，范围从末日金属 (doom metal)、死亡金属 (death metal) 到传统硬摇滚；安德森还共同创立了极具影响力的金属唱片公司 Southern Lord。他们的作品集合计涵盖约 24 个不同的艺术家名称（或合作项目）以及近一百次不同的发行。虽然这张专辑无疑是他们的最佳作品之一，但很难说为什么该团体的时刻在这么多年后才出现。也许仅仅是因为世界的现状 —— 有太多丑陋的噪音，而将其隔绝的唯一方法就是用更响亮、更美丽的噪音。
R. 埃里克·托马斯 (R. Eric Thomas) 请教埃里克 (ASKING ERIC)
亲爱的埃里克：大约两年前，我的丈夫被一家当地公司“邀请”辞去了管理职位。在此之前，他经历了两次并不理想的绩效评估，而他声称这是因为与老板关系不合的结果。
幸运的是，他很快找到了另一个相当的全职职位。他说他喜欢这份工作。他的新岗位是一个混合办公职位，由于我完全远程办公，我们的居家办公日重叠了。
我注意到在这些日子里，他可能只工作五个小时。我看到他在工作日期间处理私人琐事、吃很长的午餐、玩电子游戏以及做家务。此前我认为他有很强的职业道德，并因此钦佩他。现在，看到这种行为，我对他的尊重降低了许多。我不确定该如何以及是否应该开启这个话题。
我认为这与偷窃相当。我不是他的老板，但我担心他会失去工作。我们年纪大了，但在考虑退休之前还有大约五年的工作时间。除了对他缺乏职业道德感到失望外，我也感到压力很大。 —— 职员配偶
亲爱的配偶：虽然他可能并没有整天坐在电脑前，但你的丈夫看起来确实相当勤快，并且能很好地填补他的时间。因此，有可能这份工作并不需要整个工作日的八小时才能完成。
在不了解其公司内部情况的情况下，很难判断这是否是他老板关心的问题。

也许他找到了一个合适的地方，那里的文化是以完成工作为中心，而不是以展示生产力为中心。显然，这全部是推测。我不能确定。但在工作环境中观察伴侣时，有时会发生一些奇怪的事情，这并不总是在于工作本身，而是在于环境之间剧烈的差异。 尽管他的职业道德没问题，但你们两人之间的问题更容易解决。 你仍对他两年前的“软解雇”感到刺痛，而且你理所当然地对退休和财务稳定性感到焦虑。 所以，先从谈论这些感受开始，以你们新的共同办公安排作为切入点。 告诉他你信任他（如果你确实信任），但看到他在工作时间花在其他事情上，让你感到很难受。告诉他，这引发了你对未来的焦虑。尽可能多地使用“我”字开头的陈述句，这样听起来就不像是一次绩效评估。 问他是否理解你的想法，以及他可以通过做什么或说什么，来让你对未来 5 年及更长远的计划感到安心。

无法将这个主题 “关闭”，即使是在那些关注 年幼孩子的重大家庭 里程碑时刻也是如此。 当我们的家人轻轻地 试图与她讨论这种生活方式时，她变得异常 具有防御心，开始 哭泣，并说没有人 喜欢她现在的样子，或者不让她 做自己。看到她受伤让我心碎，但 大家族成员和外人 经常评判她，认为她很“怪”。 我爱我的姐姐/妹妹，不 想让她感到孤立。 我们是应该让她做自己并 忽视那些批评者，还是这种极端的痴迷 是某种更深层问题的迹象， 是我们应该处理的？我该如何 支持她而又不至于 把她推开？ — Pumpkin Spice Sibling
亲爱的 Sibling：尽管有那个 迈克尔·麦尔斯 (Michael Myers) 的手袋， 你姐姐/妹妹对万圣节的兴趣似乎 并没有伤害任何人。 在这种情况下，你只需要生活，并让对方自由生活。她很可能知道 其他人认为她很怪。但通过这样 打扮，她是在表明 对于她来说，表达自我比 屈服于社会压力更重要。 他人的评判 最终并不具有太大价值。因此，如果她没有让 这些话影响到她，那么 她的直系亲属就没理由 不断地提起这些并将其 变成一个问题。 如果她痴迷的是 “Life is Good”品牌的服装， 或者是圣诞毛衣， 或者其他某种类型的 着装，她的外表和 选择可能会更容易被 公众接受。但喜欢你所喜欢的东西 没有坏处。 虽然她的选择可能不是 你的选择，但请试着感激 她在你面前有足够的自信 去做自己。

明星加盟剧集 饰演赛车家族后裔
巴尔将饰演奎德角色的大儿子卡尔文·惠特洛克 (Calvin Whitlock)。 Deadline 将卡尔文描述为一个“迷人且有野心的男人，他被永久地赶出了赛车行业，并且不喜欢被提醒这件事”。卡尔文现在是一名拥有酒吧的商人。 根据该剧的剧情梗概，《雷霆之路》“讲述了惠特洛克家族多代人的传奇故事，他们在库存赛车领域的传承与南方的山区根源交织在一起，展现了 NASCAR 世界中的家庭动态和激烈的竞争”。 如果巴尔这个名字听起来很熟悉，那是由于他已经演戏超过 20 年，参演了《K 街之王》(One Tree Hill)、《沉睡谷》(Sleepy Hollow)、《中途停留》(The Layover) 和《海菲尔德与麦考伊》(Hatfields & McCoys) 等项目。 2021 年，巴尔在《沃克》(Walker) 中获得了一个角色，该剧是《德州巡警沃克》(Walker, Texas Ranger) 的重新演绎，他饰演可爱的法外之徒霍伊特·罗林斯 (Hoyt Rawlins)。 最终，巴尔在《沃克》中出演了 4 集，随后他的角色不幸早逝。 然而，仅仅 1 年之后，巴尔在 19 世纪末背景的剧集《沃克：独立》(Walker: Independence) 中复活了他的角色，饰演霍伊特的后裔，而该剧本身是《沃克》的前传。 《雷霆之路》将于 2027 年某个时间发布。

如果 7 月 25 日是你的生日：2026 年的大部分时间可能是在生存而非繁荣，今年剩下的时间可以帮助你繁荣。7 月剩余的时间可能会带来保护、仁慈以及满足许多需求（如果不是所有的欲望的话）。白羊座 (3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日)：这可能对你来说是一个好时期，成长和保护将得到促进，总体而言，你的心情可能会感到轻快一些。研究一些你想治愈的东西，你现在可能会找到有帮助的答案。金牛座 (4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日)：你越是让生活来支持你，你就越能取得成就。在可能的情况下，让你的家既成为生活的避风港，也成为下一轮冲刺的充电站。双子座 (5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日)：伴侣可能需要克服一些抵触情绪，才能获得更深层的联系。不要强求，否则一定会增加阻碍。巨蟹座 (6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日)：继续积累你的富足，你自己的努力对于现在产生影响至关重要，且无需极端。狮子座 (7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日)：下个月可能会有所收获——不幸地包括体重增加——但你的身体并不是唯一能增长的东西。处女座 (8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日)：关键性的内在提升可以改变你的生活，对自己进行投资，这样你就可以停止自我破坏并实现梦想。天秤座 (9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日)：扩大你的社交圈；当成员致力于互利互惠时，这将是一份持续不断的礼物。天蝎座 (10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日)：尽管今天的得分尚可，但最好今天还是退后一步，稍后再审视情况。射手座 (11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日)：确保你不仅仅是因为习惯而抵触，确保在此时此地有真正的理由。如果你给它一个机会，你所抵制的东西可能会是非常美妙的。摩羯座 (12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日)：在看到它能如何改善你生活的每个部分之前，面对困难可能会很艰难。携带沉重的包袱会让你难以或无法翱翔。释放束缚你的东西。水瓶座 (1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日)：通过放弃关于爱和关系的旧局限和旧信念，实现“减法增加”。许多旧规则是不可持续的，无法为幸福提供基础。双鱼座 (2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日)：水在岩石间流动，这就是老子说圣人 the best person is like water（上善若水）的原因之一。今天请像水一样，在障碍之间寻找机会。

总统惊喜
作者：Julia Poe 和 Colleen Kane 芝加哥论坛报
前总统贝拉克·奥巴马周五上午在奥巴马总统中心的一次训练中，给 WNBA 全明星队的球员和教练们带来了惊喜。
该球队——成员包括 A’ja Wilson 和 Caitlin Clark ——原定于周六在联合中心 (United Center) 举行全明星赛之前，在奥巴马中心的校园 Home Court 进行训练。在训练开始前，奥巴马走上球场问候球员，并就该联盟的持续增长表示祝贺。
“你们每一个人都非凡，我不能成为比这更大的粉丝，”奥巴马说。“最近比赛的发展方式，以及它被提升的方式……我认为这让一般的篮球迷感到兴奋。这让我很高兴。”
这次全明星训练是奥巴马中心球场首次被用于全规模的篮球活动。奥巴马周五还顺道出席了校园内其他 WNBA 全明星活动，包括一场专注于社区影响的“变革者之日” (Changemaker Day) 环节。

尽管帕特里克·凯恩（Patrick Kane）的职业生涯始于芝加哥黑鹰队，但周五的回归新闻发布会原本可能会让人感到违和。 是的，在他效力于该球队的第一段时期，他曾帮助黑鹰队三次赢得斯坦利杯冠军，但三年的离队可能会为这一天增添不确定性。 当凯恩与总经理凯尔·戴维森（Kyle Davidson）一起走进黑鹰队冰球中心（Blackhawks Ice Center）的媒体室时，他向记者们问好，并注意到有“一些熟悉的面孔”。凯恩的长期女友阿曼达·格拉霍韦克（Amanda Grahovec）和他们 5 岁的儿子帕特里克·凯恩三世（Patrick Kane III）走在他前面，两人面带微笑地坐在第一排。

前芝加哥天空队前锋、现任亚特兰大梦想队全明星安杰尔·里斯（Angel Reese）表示，她的基金会也在与奥巴马基金会合作。 “我们真的只是在聊篮球。你可以看出他一直是个篮球迷，这已经刻在他的血液里了，”WNBPA主席内卡·奥古米克（Nneka Ogwumike）说道。“我们从一开始就知道他一直关注我们，并且非常热爱女子篮球。能在奥巴马中心庆祝 30 周年，感觉非常恰当。” 奥巴马表示，在总统园区正式开放的一个月前，他通过一场 H-O-R-S-E 投篮比赛为球场命名——并承认他在那场开业赛中输了。 在简短地防守了纽约自由人队中锋琼奎尔·琼斯（Jonquel Jones）之后，他打趣在场的 WNBA 球员们在周五练习中态度过于轻松，并婉拒与任何一名联盟球星进行一对一单挑。

当队友捕手凯尔·蒂尔（Kyle Teel）从伤病名单返回时，白袜队在 6 月将埃德加·克罗下放到 3A 夏洛特队。 当蒂尔在周二重新回到伤病名单时，这给了克罗再次进入大联盟球队的机会。 “对我来说这是一个机会，尤其是因为我本赛季开局相当糟糕，”克罗周三在德克萨斯州阿灵顿表示。“我现在有机会翻开新篇章，发挥我的作用，做好准备并帮助球队。”
随着蒂尔因左脚踝扭伤可能缺阵 6 到 12 周，克罗与德鲁·罗莫（Drew Romo）共同成为捕手候选项。 “在进攻端有高质量的击球表现，显然是我们所期待的，”主教练威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）周三表示。“而且真正重要的是能在那儿做好接球工作，在这些比赛中协助投手，并为我们寻找获胜的方法。”

周四签署了一份为期两年、价值 $16 million 的合同，回归到 2007. 年将其在首轮第 1 顺位选中的球队。他将寻求增加自己在黑鹰队的各项数据——446 个进球、779 次助攻和 1,225 个积分。这些数据均位列球队历史前三。“再次成为一名黑鹰队球员感觉太棒了，”他在周五表示。“我很感激（戴维森）在过去几周里所处理的一切，因为我花了一些时间来考虑这个过程并做出决定。显然，这个故事很美好，回到芝加哥并再次成为一名黑鹰队球员，因为我夏天都在这里度过，芝加哥就是我的家。”黑鹰队在 2023 年 2 月将凯恩交易至纽约游骑兵队，随后他在底特律红翼队度过了最后三个赛季。周四签署合同后，凯恩穿着黑鹰队的队服在黑鹰队冰球中心进行了训练。这位前锋表示，他的第二次黑鹰队之行并非是一次“告别之旅”，并指出他的动力是帮助一支成长中的球队。“最重要的是，这关乎于加入一支我认为自己能够良好融入的球队，一支处于上升期的球队，一支希望取得重大进步并努力进入季后赛的球队，”凯恩说。“我讨论了所有那些其他事情（而且）我认为那都很棒，但那不是我来这里的原因。我并不是单纯为了回家‘在夕阳下悠然骑马而去’或者怎么着。我想在这里成为一名关键球员并帮助球队获胜。”然而，黑鹰队似乎比他决定不加入的那支球队——剑鱼队，距离竞争季后赛更远。凯恩是纽约州布法罗市的本地人，而剑鱼队在上一赛季结束了长达 14 年的季后赛荒。黑鹰队则已连续六个赛季无缘季后赛，且在过去九个赛季中八次缺席。最终，他选择了黑鹰队。“这件事一直潜伏在你的脑海中，我不知道我是否真的认为（回来）是有可能的，”凯恩说。“到了（自由球员市场期间）那个时间点，我想看看外界的情况以及哪些球队感兴趣。当芝加哥表现出兴趣时，我也确实产生了兴趣。当你开始审视这支球队、其潜力以及他们作为一个整体所处的状态时，这确实非常有意义，而且对我来说似乎是一个完美的结合。”对于戴维森来说，这是一种节奏的改变，他此前曾对与凯恩重聚的想法不予理会。对戴维森而言，那时是不同的时期，而球队的需求促使他改变了关于带回这位前锋的看法。“在（凯恩被交易时），我们还处于整个计划的最初阶段，而现在我们拥有了一些选秀球员，（他们）已经站稳了脚跟（并且）在 NHL 中继续成长，”戴维森说。“从组织角度和阵容角度来看，时机成熟了。（我想）非常明确地告诉大家，我们引进（凯恩）是为了给这里的冰球队做出贡献——‘回归’是一个非常美好的方面，但不是核心原因。我们引进他是为了让我们的球队变得更好，我们坚信他能够做到这一点。”黑鹰队在 7 月完成了大部分的休赛期任务。他们与明星中锋康纳·贝达德续约，通过签约凯恩获得了翼锋方面的助力，并交易且续约了后卫鲍文·拜勒姆。弗兰克·纳扎尔那份为期七年、价值 $46.13 million 的续约合同本赛季开始生效，而凯恩也表达了希望与这位 22 岁球员培养默契的愿望。贝达德在左肩手术后将至少缺席本赛季一个月，他在周一签署了为期五年、价值 $75 million 的续约合同后，为引进凯恩发声。“我们所有人都非常激动能拥有这样一个球员，同时也是这样一个伙伴，”贝达德在评价凯恩时说道。“我无法想象他回到（联合中心）后的第一场比赛会引起怎样的反响。”
“以及这不仅能为我们的球队，还能为我们的球迷带来多少激情。”“你谈到了遗产方面的意义，但仅就球队而言，他会让我们的球队变得更好得多——他依然是一名惊人的球员。我不知道这是否是最好的游说，但希望他能回来，这样我们就能一起比赛。”他的游说结果证明是成功的，凯恩表示“听到他的评论和兴奋之情感觉很酷”，贝达德将与他并肩作战。他们预计将共同在顶线滑行——这也是凯恩已经在考虑的事情。“怎么能不这么做呢？”凯恩说。“他是一个如此特别的球员。这将是我在联盟中的第 20 年，在与他一起比赛时，我可能会看到以前从未见过的传球。”凯恩的儿子在父亲第一次离开黑鹰队时才 2 岁，现在他将再次看到父亲穿上黑鹰队的球衣。“我认为他对我第一次在队时的事情没什么记忆，所以这会很棒，”凯恩说。“我绝对将自己视为一名黑鹰队成员，显然是因为我们在球队、组织内部以及个人层面所取得的一切成就。但对他来说，现在能看到这一点并真正理解，将会是非常特别的。”凯恩只能想象在 10 月 6 日主场揭幕战中，当他再次身穿黑鹰队球衣踏上联合中心冰场时，全场将爆发出怎样的欢呼声。“我记得去年回来时，我在奏国歌时站在冰场上，我对那巨大的声浪感到非常震惊，”凯恩说。“我心里在想：‘每场比赛都这么响吗？我在这里的时候是不是把这一切视作理所当然了？’“我相信在第一场主场比赛中走出去并回归时，会有同样的感觉——那将会非常令人兴奋。”

匹兹堡 —— 周五下午，在开始赛前防守训练前的几个瞬间，詹姆斯·特里安托斯 (James Triantos) 站在 PNC 球场客队休息区前的泥地上，缓缓转身，将周围的一切尽收眼底。
这并非特里安托斯第一次来到这座球场。大约 13 年前，他在弗吉尼亚州长大时曾来看过一场海盗队的比赛，那里距离匹兹堡大约四小时车程。但这一次，特里安托斯是以一名大联盟球员的身份抵达的。
在周五对阵海盗队的系列赛揭幕战之前，小熊队将这名 23 岁的球员从 3A 级球队升入大名单，并将外野手凯文·阿尔坎塔拉 (Kevin Alcántara) 降至爱荷华队。
“这真的太酷了，老实说，我很难用语言形容，”特里安托斯说道。“虽然还是同样的比赛，但能来到这里真的太酷了。我非常感激这次机会，我只想去竞争。这感觉很不真实。”
“我有一个想要实现的梦想。我想帮助这里的队友，帮助赢得比赛，而且我必须每天都做好准备，全力以赴。我可以掌控自己的心态，我知道我获得了一个非常好的机会。所以只要充分利用它就好。我能够每天地从事我热爱的运动并以此获得报酬。不能要求比这更多了。”
特里安托斯在得知自己首次被召入大联盟之前，对方尝试联系了他好几次。周三晚上 11:30 左右，他在乔治亚州爱荷华队对阵格温内特队系列赛期间的球队酒店里，将手机设为了“请勿打扰”模式。由于特里安托斯在睡前在玩电子游戏，爱荷华队经理马蒂·佩维 (Marty Pevey) 尝试给他拨打了三次电

比赛。这就是我们的预期。 “他在 3A 联赛中表现出色。对于我们要求他做的一些事情，他执行得非常好。我希望这种状态能延续到这里，他将有一项任务——走到场上并发挥水平。” Quero，23 岁，在 6 月 22 日被送到夏洛特之前，在 55 场比赛中击球率为 .187/.253/.233（150 次击球中 28 次命中），包含 1 支双打、2 支本垒打、15 次打点和 12 分。他在本赛季早些时候有过亮点——5 月 17 日对阵 Cubs 时击出了一支再见两分本垒打——但始终未能保持稳定性。 这次低迷的开局成了他回归后的动力。 “尤其是现在，我觉得状态很不错，”Quero 说。“在 3A 联赛期间，我尽一切努力地修正我的挥拍动作以及完善所有细节。我觉得现在已经准备好上场了。” 他在 Knights 队效力期间的 15 场比赛中，击球率为 .230/.299/.295（61 次击球中 14 次命中），包含 1 支双打、1 支本垒打、6 次打点和 5 分。在夏洛特期间，对击球姿势的微调是他方法的一部分。 “在那里的一个月里我觉得很不错，”Quero 说。“专注于我的调整并现在回归。特别是我的挥拍动作。执行赛前的例行程序，练习接球，全面调整，感觉相当好。” 在周三于 Globe Life Field 对阵德克萨斯游骑兵队并以 4-2 获胜的比赛中，Quero 3 次击球 0 次命中，并获得一次保送。 Venable 周三表示，在决定让 Quero 还是 Romo 先发时，白袜队将“走一步看一步”。Romo 截至周五的击球率为 .130/.217/.304，在 38 场比赛中包含 5 支双打、5 支本垒打和 11 次打点。 Venable 周五补充道：“我们会考量许多不同的因素。包括他们在幕后准备工作中的表现。他们与某位投手的对阵情况或许不在清单的首位，但也是考量因素之一——即这些球员目前的状况，以及他们如何在该日帮助特定投手应对对方阵容。 “显然，在进攻和对阵方面，这是我们会考虑的。有很多不同的输入指标，比如他们被……”
手机静音了。 接着酒店房间的电话响了，但因为他没订任何东西，Triantos 没有接听。最后，爱荷华队的一名击球教练敲了他的门，把他带到了 Pevey 的房间，Triantos 在那里得知他将随 Cubs 前往匹兹堡。 “我完全不知道，”Triantos 说。“我超级惊讶，超级开心，太棒了。……基本上我整晚都没睡。” Triantos 的第一个电话打给了父母，然后他去了队友 B.J. Murray 的房间分享这个消息，后者在过去四年里一直是他的室友。大约 15 位 Triantos 的亲友本周末将前往 PNC Park，他们希望能够见证他的 MLB 首秀。 经理 Craig Counsell 周五表示，鉴于 Cubs 的阵容结构，Triantos 可能不会获得太多出场时间。这与 Alcántara 面对的情况类似。 “这个（阵容）位置的出场时间不多，James 在这里的情况也将基本相同，”Counsell 说。“在接下来的这段没有休息日的时间里，我们会看看情况如何，但出场时间可能不会很多。所以我们会稍微调整这个位置，尽量不让这些球员在板凳上坐太久，可以这么说。 “James 今年表现非常好，我认为这是他进入大联盟的一次很好的初步尝试。” Triantos 被 MLB.com 评为 Cubs 的第 11 号潜力新秀，被 Baseball America 评为第 13 号，他今年在爱荷华队担任过五个位置，尽管 Counsell 认为在主联盟中，让他们在二垒、三垒和左外野位置出场会最舒适。 尽管可能的击球机会不足
在他首次体验大联盟期间，小熊队认为接触大联盟及其带来的所有挑战，对于像 Triantos 这样的新秀是有益的。主要的适应点在于：一切都更快了。
“从比赛本身到决策过程都更快，你必须做好准备，”Counsell 说道。“每支球队都有各自不同的语言，坦率地说，对此的责任要求更高。如果你不能每天在场上，掌握这些的速度会慢一些。我想对 James 的期望是，他能学到很多相关内容并能适应。”
小熊队的野手群体是一个优势，无论是在大联盟层面还是在顶尖新秀之中。
在交易截止日期前 10 天，管理层正在评估各种方案，以提升一支在周五时处于大联盟胜率第五名的球队阵容。包括 Triantos、Alcántara 以及周五担任指定打击的内野手 Pedro Ramírez 在内的野手新秀，都有可能被用于交易。多功能球员 Matt Shaw 也可能被交易，但 Counsell 周五表示，由于左手扭伤仍有困扰，他将在 8 月 3 日截止日期前不会从伤病名单中激活。
Triantos 并不担心未来几天在小熊队的处境是否存在不确定性。
“我只会掌控我能掌控的事情，”Triantos 说道。“当机会来临时，尽力而为，专注于当下。仅此而已。这就是我现在尝试做的一切。所以我不太担心其他事情。我觉得那些只会让我分心。只需专注于每天赢得一场球赛。”
过去几天被使用的情况，以及他们的工作量状态。”
Romo 在周五于 Rate Field 举行的对阵休斯顿太空人的系列赛首场比赛中出场。随着 8 月 3 日交易截止日期的临近，白袜队是否会在捕手位置上做出进一步调整仍有待观察。
“Getzy（总经理 Chris Getz）的任务是始终寻找提升球队的方法；而我的任务，我们在这里的任务，是给这些球员提供他们处于最佳状态所需的一切，支持他们，努力让他们变得更好，并尝试赢得比赛，”Venable 周二说道。“所以这就是我们将要做的事情，我知道 Getzy 会尽其所能，不仅限于捕手位置。提升阵容是一项全年无休的工作。”
回到大联盟后，Quero 正致力于贡献自己的力量。
“我为 Kyle 感到难过，”Quero 说道。“对他来说这是相当艰难的一年，经历了 3 次受伤。但与此同时，这就是棒球，这种情况在比赛中是有可能发生的。”
“很高兴能回到球队，回到伙伴们身边，尝试在任何方面帮助球队。我会准备好。”
球员希望 球队能 帮助制止 网络仇恨

周五上午，前总统贝拉克·奥巴马在奥巴马总统中心访问 WNBA 全明星球员（在训练开始前），他依次与球员们握手。当他走到印第安纳狂热队的球星凯特琳·克拉克面前时，他告诉她表现得非常出色，随后给出了一些建议。“不要让所有这些胡言乱语让你心情低落，”奥巴马告诉克拉克，“我一直说，对我来说最幸运的事情之一就是，直到我 45 岁左右才出名。所以那时我已经是个老家伙了。而你和我女儿差不多大……所以不要失去那份快乐。”
这些“胡言乱语”是指伴随克拉克每一个动作而来的社交媒体评论风暴。每当她被粗暴犯规或与裁判争论时，批评者、支持者和煽动者之间就会展开辩论，而任何参与其中的人都会被卷入这些评论中，且这些评论多次聚焦于种族问题。整个 WNBA 都在努力应对随着关注度增加而带来的“放大镜”效应——以及有时随之而来的仇恨网络言论。
克拉克很感激奥巴马的话，以及他对处理这种审视意味着什么的理解。“我认为有时人们并不总是意识到我才 24 岁，在尝试打好篮球的同时，我还得应对许多不同的事情，”克拉克说。“能听到他这么说很酷，而且坦率地说，这对我们所有人来说可能都是一个很好的提醒，即要尊重他人，体面待人。”
奥巴马随后赞扬克拉克在面对大量场外噪音时仍坚持“打球”。克拉克表示，她没有失去比赛的乐趣，并努力对社交媒体上发生的事情保持理性的看待。“我们认为（社交媒体）是基于现实的，”克拉克说。“别误会，其中有些是，但同时有些则不是。我尽量用最好的方式提醒自己，当你出现在球馆时，那些才是真正关心这项运动并真正想要支持这项运动的人……（而）互联网上有些人会对他人写下可怕的话或其他类似的事情。但那里也有很多真正优秀的人，有很多人热爱 WNBA，也有很多人热爱并支持我。”
克拉克绝不是唯一一个处理网络争议和仇恨的球员。上周，拉斯维加斯王牌队发布声明，谴责针对球员的暴力语言。此前，明星后卫切尔西·格雷在社交媒体私信中收到了一条辱骂信息，其中包含种族歧视词汇。发送该信息的人最终

“为了保护我的跟腱，我不再跑全场了，”这位前总统开玩笑地说道。 在合影留念后，奥巴马花时间与每位全明星球员单独交谈。 “噢，我的天，这太酷了，”前天空队球星、现效力于凤凰城水星队的卡莉亚·考珀 (Kahleah Copper) 说道。“对我来说最酷的是他非常平易近人，非常真诚。他直接对我说：‘你的这个赛季表现很棒，我为你感到超级自豪。’我就想：‘好吧，你居然在看我的比赛？’” 里斯 (Reese) 确保她的队友们都能和他拍照，她自己也拍了一张自拍，随后发布在社交媒体上。 “并不是每个人都有机会见到贝拉克，”她说。 这是她第一次与奥巴马见面，不过她之前参加过米歇尔·奥巴马 (Michelle Obama) 的播客节目，并表示那次经历给了她很大的鼓舞。本周在机场时，她也与奥巴马不期而遇。 “这太有趣了，因为昨天我的飞机在降落时，他就停在我的飞机旁边，”里斯说。“工作人员说：‘VIP，没人能下飞机。’我就想：‘哎，我们也是VIP。’然后他们提到是奥巴马，我就想：‘噢，好吧，好吧，好吧。’”

被其雇主希尔顿大度假酒店 (Hilton Grand Vacations) 解雇，这为那些面临越来越多类似信息骚扰的球员们提供了一次正名机会。“我认为 Aces 队在发声方面做得很好，可以说是在第一时间就将其扼杀在萌芽状态，”Aces 队球星阿贾·威尔逊 (A’ja Wilson) 说道。“这就是必须采取的行动。我不喜欢事情拖在这种状态。如果拖久了会很糟糕，因为这会让很多负面情绪渗透进来。所以最切实可行的事情就是把事实摆在台面上，让我们知道你们听到了我们的声音，你们支持我们，然后我们再以此为基础进行后续处理。一切始于对话。”针对格雷 (Gray) 的骚扰集中在她无法达到一项特定道具投注 (prop bet) 的统计数据上。道具投注是一种基于一名球员在单场比赛中的个人得分、篮板、助攻或其他表现指标的投注。这类投注往往是所有运动项目中运动员遭受个体化骚扰的主要驱动力。虽然这种骚扰可能源于赌博结果，但它会迅速升级为种族歧视、恐同和性别歧视的语言。这在体育界并非新问题，但对于 WNBA 来说是一个相对较新的问题。甚至在五年前，大多数拉斯维加斯的博彩公司还不提供 WNBA 比赛或球员的盘口或道具投注。该联赛的普及度为其带来了大量的报道和赞助，但通过赌博文化也引入了新的冲突来源。“我认为这在很大程度上源于体育博彩，”纽约自由人队球星布里安娜·斯图尔特 (Breanna Stewart) 说道。“我想是因为这项运动规模扩大了，所以才有了体育博彩，对吧？这是一把双刃剑。坦白说，我对各种不同的投注情况并不十分精通。我只是认为，关注度越高，观众越多，带来的好事就越多，随之而来的坏事也越多。我们正试图透过现象看本质，研究如何在继续成长的同时应对这一局面。”球员保护在这一赛季成为了所有关于 WNBA 总裁凯西·恩格尔伯特 (Cathy Engelbert) 未来讨论的关键基石，她的合同将在本赛季后到期。恩格尔伯特成为了该联赛的委...
LEBRON 的新闻传播
克拉克在媒体采访环节中花了几分钟向勒布朗·詹姆斯推销印第安纳步行者队，尽管她表示：“我们都知道那不可能发生。”
她提出了与泰瑞斯·哈利巴顿和帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆共同作战的想法。她宣传在小型市场比赛的优势，在谈到印第安纳球迷时说：“这对他们意义重大。印第安纳是一个真正的篮球之州。它是全国最大的篮球之州之一，那里的人们真正关心这项运动。”
随后在采访中，她收到了消息：勒布朗与费城76人队签署了一份为期两年的合同。
“不可能！”她说，“我刚刚才向他推销步行者队。消息传到他那儿不够快。”
“76人队。哇。自私地说，我希望他去勇士队，因为库里和勒布朗在一起绝对会非常疯狂，但76人队确实有一些顶尖天才。可以说，现在他们可能是东部热门之一，另外还有尼克斯队，当然还有我的步行者队。”
……在 2019. 年担任总裁。在随后的七年里，WNBA 经历了前所未有的增长，包括一项具有开创意义的媒体权利协议以及向六个新市场的扩张。但在恩格尔伯特的任期内，联盟领导层经常与球员发生冲突，特别是在上个休赛期关于集体谈判协议（CBA）的激烈重新谈判期间。球员此前批评恩格尔伯特建立关系的能力是其领导能力的关键症结。这种担忧延伸到了她执行联盟禁赛以及保护球员免受网络攻击的方式上。凤凰城水星队的球星艾丽莎·托马斯在批评恩格尔伯特的领导力，此前这位前锋表示，在联盟决定因她在 7 月对阵印第安纳狂热队的比赛中对克拉克犯规而将其禁赛一场后，她收到了死亡威胁和种族歧视言论。尽管存在这些问题，球员们在本次周末的全明星庆祝活动期间，对与现任总裁对抗仍持谨慎态度。
“这不是由我来决定的，”WNBPA（WNBA 球员协会）主席内内卡·奥古米克表示，“作为球员，当领导层在这里时，我们就支持领导层。这是我的观点。凯西在这里。我知道关于我们领导层未来的讨论很多，但我周一告诉过她。这就是我们目前拥有的人。这就是我们所有人构想中希望成为的样子，我们将支持我们现有的领导层。”
达拉斯之翼队的后卫佩奇·比克利斯没有直接回答关于 WNBA 领导层的问题，仅表示球员们很高兴能完成 CBA 的签署。但她确实谈到了她希望媒体在报道 WNBA 时能正确对待的地方。首先，她强调身体对抗——以及强硬或恶意犯规——是正常的，并且自联盟成立以来一直存在。“世界上最优秀的女性在互相竞争并努力赢球，这种情况就会发生，”比克利斯说。“我只是希望讨论能多一点关于篮球的，少一点关于其他事情的，更多的人谈论球员有多出色，比赛中包含多少技巧，这项运动成长了多少，以及现在这种令人兴奋的氛围。我只是希望篮球能被更多地谈论。”
里斯表示，她的芭比娃娃身穿粉色球衣，配有配套的鞋子和发带，并持有一个粉色球。这是一个酝酿多年的梦想，因为她在路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）效力期间就被人们称为“拜尤芭比”（Bayou Barbie）。
“我以前会在周边产品上放芭比的东西，其实那时候是不被允许的，”里斯说。“我告诉他们，我希望有一天能拥有一个芭比娃娃。而要成为芭比，你必须具有标志性，必须做出一些真正的影响。我知道这需要时间，因为已经有这么多优秀的女性成为了芭比娃娃并拥有自己的产品。我知道这就是我想要的，于是我通过表达将其变为现实。”
里斯回到芝加哥参加她的第三次 WNBA 全明星赛，但这是她自 4 月被天空队交易至梦想队后，首次作为梦想队成员参赛。
里斯表示，这次搬到亚特兰大“简直就是梦想成真”。她说自己目前处于职业生涯的最佳状态，并对在教练卡尔·斯梅斯科（Karl Smesko）的指导下所获得的一系列成长表示感谢。
“我想说的是我的自信心和耐心的提升，”里斯说。“他每天都对我进行指导。……有时我会觉得，‘我今天不想做这个’。但他每天都在我耳边激励我：‘走吧，我们要把这个练好’。……这表明了他多么关心我，他只想看到我每天都有进步。”
将他的才华 带到南费城
勒布朗·詹姆斯宣布“最后一次决定”，加盟76人队
作者：丹·格尔斯顿 (Dan Gelston) 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
费城 —— 勒布朗·詹姆斯第一个“最终”决定是退休。然而，经过数周的深度反思，他改变了主意，在他面前摆着所有熟悉的延长职业生涯的选项：第三次回到骑士队，第二次前往迈阿密，甚至可能留在加州与勇士队组成高关注度的组合。不 —— 对所有这些球队都说不。对于大多数在球队上一次赢得冠军时甚至还没出生的球迷来说，这个以粗体显示的醒目头条新闻依然像一场狂热的梦，但这是事实：勒布朗·詹姆斯将加盟76人队。这位 NBA 历史得分王周五在社交媒体上发布了公告，称这将是他的“最后一次决定”，且是在他认真考虑过退休之后做出的。“我相信我可以帮助费城76人队成为一支冠军球队，我非常激动能为一批新球迷注入活力，并最后一次开启这段不可思议的旅程，”詹姆斯说道。作为一名四次 NBA 冠军成员，詹姆斯在 23 个 NBA 赛季结束时写道他已经“完结”，且那是他在湖人队的最后一季。“我当时很确定我已经打完了最后一场比赛。在最后那次新闻发布会上，我说我需要审视自己，决定是否仍然热爱这项运动，我是诚实的，”詹姆斯写道。“我依然深爱这项运动，我还有更多可以贡献。”据 ESPN 报道，现年 41 岁的詹姆斯将与76人队签署一份为期两年、金额为 $8$ 百万美元的低调合同，该合同为老将最低薪水。他上赛季赚了近 $53$ 百万美元。“我不是为了钱而去，也不是为了家庭而去，”詹姆斯写道。“在这个阶段，我真正地在为什么而打球？我依然想要牺牲。我依然想要努力。我依然想要磨练。我依然想要竞争，去获胜，并有机会体验获胜的感觉。”詹姆斯在 Instagram 上用一段职业生涯高光集锦庆祝了他的决定，背景音乐采用了费城说唱歌手 Meek Mill 的《Dreams and Nightmares》，这首歌已被视为该市球队的体育赞歌。视频以歌词“等等，等一下。你们以为我结束了吗？”结尾，随后切至 76 人队的标志。Fanatics 已经开始销售他的 23 号球衣，售价为 $125$ 美元，预计直到 8 月底才能送达。该公司在公告发布后数小时内便售罄。就像詹姆斯在 2016 年率领骑士队夺冠、终结克利夫兰市 56 年的冠军荒一样，他也可以为76人队终结漫长的冠军荒。76 人队上赛季战绩为 45-37，并在第二轮被 NBA 冠军尼克斯队横扫。截至周五下午，大多数博彩网站将 76 人队列为夺冠热门，赔率 9-1，排在雷霆队、马刺队和尼克斯队之后。詹姆斯加入的 76 人队自 1983 年以来尚未赢得 NBA 总冠军，且自 2001 年以来未能挺进东部会议季后赛第二轮以外的阶段。76 人队应当拥有 NBA 最强首发五阵之一，成员包括第二年就脱颖而出的 VJ Edgecombe，以及同样是全明星的乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid)、泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 和杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown) —— 后者是 2024 年 NBA 总决赛 MVP，五次全明星，且是上赛季联盟第四大得分手，是在与凯尔特人队的一次令人震惊的休赛期交易中被收购的。马克西在 Instagram 故事中发布了一段自己在健身房庆祝并对着这条消息大喊“什么！？什么？！”的视频，而布朗在 X 上写道“#把球投上去” (#throwtheballup)。布朗在给费城的介绍信中写了同样的短语，而且这个短语已经印在全市的广告牌上。宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗 (Josh Shapiro) 甚至宣布周五为该州的“勒布朗·詹姆斯日”。事实证明，通过布朗的交易，新任 76 人队总裁迈克·甘西 (Mike Gansey) —— 一位来自俄亥俄州的青少年篮球之星，拥有...
詹姆斯——他的惊喜之夏才刚刚开始。当然，没有什么变动能像詹姆斯的到来这样产生如此大的冲击。从在克利夫兰的家乡球队效力，到洛杉矶的璀璨灯火，再到他带往迈阿密的天赋，詹姆斯在效力过的每一个地方都赢得了NBA总冠军。詹姆斯在湖人队效力了八个赛季，期间最辉煌的时刻是 2020 年获得NBA冠军。詹姆斯现年 41 岁，是NBA年龄最大的现役球员，也是联盟历史上唯一一名职业生涯跨越 23 个赛季的球员；即将到来的赛季将是他的第 24 个赛季。关于他未来的猜测已持续两个多月，正式始于5月湖人队被淘汰出NBA季后赛之时。詹姆斯的履历在NBA历史上无可比拟。他 22 次入选全明星，21 次入选NBA最佳阵容，四次获得最有价值球员（MVP），四次获得NBA总决赛MVP，三次获得全明星赛MVP，并且是NBA 75周年纪念球队的成员。

� 皇家队：皇家队经理马特·夸塔罗在周五晚上对阵老虎队的客场系列赛第二场比赛中回归，俱乐部在社交媒体上表示。夸塔罗因处理个人事务缺席了这场四场系列赛的第一场比赛。俱乐部在周四宣布了夸塔罗的缺席，并表示预计这将是一次短期请假。在皇家队周四 4-3 输给老虎队的比赛中，由板凳教练保罗·胡佛执教。万斯·威尔逊担任临时板凳教练，而何塞·阿尔古西尔担任三垒教练。在带领俱乐部十年来首次实现连续获胜赛季后，夸塔罗在休赛期获得了一份为期三年的合同延期，这将使他

� 守护者队：守护者队在周五与美东领头羊光芒队的系列赛开始前，将外野手安赫尔·马丁内斯从10天伤病名单中激活，并将左投手蒂姆·赫林从15天伤病名单中激活。为了给名单腾出空间，左投手威尔·迪翁和多功能球员丹尼尔·施尼曼被下放到3A哥伦布队。守护者队在进入与光芒队的周末系列赛时，距离美中区榜首的白袜队落后 1 ½ 场。马丁内斯被安排在与光芒队系列赛首场的先发击球位置，此前他在6月13日对阵老虎队的比赛中因击球击中左脚导致骨折而缺席了 32 场比赛。马丁内斯在6月16日被列入伤病名单，诊断为无移位骨折，共缺席 32 场比赛。
� 酿造者队：酿造者队内野手大卫·汉密尔顿在从左腿后侧肌肉拉伤中康复后，已从伤病名单中激活。酿造者队在周五与落基队的比赛前宣布了这一变动。他们还指定内野手布雷登·谢马克为可被交易球员。汉密尔顿在7月6日击败红雀队的比赛中，在第七局击出一支二垒安打后因腿后肌紧张离开赛场，此后一直未出场。
� 落基队：菅野智之取得了他的第 10 场胜利，凯尔·卡罗斯和 TJ 鲁姆菲尔德各贡献两次安打，落基队凭借快速起跑在周五以 5-2 击败酿造者队。菅野 (10-4) 在 5 ⅓ 局中完成了 5 次三振，并允许对方通过两支本垒球得 2 分——分别是克里斯蒂安·叶利奇在第一局的 413 英尺开局全垒打，以及布莱斯·图朗在第六局的 434 英尺强力全垒打。

汉密尔顿寻求 施加压力
詹姆斯·埃林沃思 (James Ellingworth) 报道 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
转向匈牙利，刘易斯·汉密尔顿 (Lewis Hamilton) 有机会向基米·安东内利 (Kimi Antonelli) 和梅赛德斯车队施压。周五出现了积极的迹象，法拉利车队在练习赛中似乎拥有速度优势。 汉密尔顿曾八次赢得匈牙利大奖赛，使其成为除家乡的英国大奖赛之外最成功的赛事。在这条赛道上，弯道能力而非纯粹的马力往往决定胜负，这可能对他的法拉利赛车有利。 “我认为我们拥有一辆能够竞争的赛车。梅赛德斯仍然是需要击败的对象，本周末要击败他们不会很容易，但我确实认为我们取得了细微的进步，”汉密尔顿本周表示。“希望我们本周末能与他们一较高下。”
占据领先地位 周五的两次练习赛中法拉利名列前茅，情况确实如此。汉密尔顿在第二节练习赛中以领先勒克莱尔 (Leclerc) 0.148 秒的成绩创下了当日最快时间；迈凯伦车队的兰多·诺里斯 (Lando Norris) 位列第三，差距为 .499 秒。乔治·罗素 (George Russell) 是梅赛德斯车队中表现最好的选手，排名第五；而安东内利仅排在第 13 位。在一次练习赛中，由于弗朗哥·科拉平托 (Franco Colapinto) 撞上护栏，比赛一度被红旗中断。 在第一节练习赛中，勒克莱尔以领先红牛车队的马克斯·维斯塔潘 (Max Verstappen) 接近 0.5 秒的成绩跑出最快速度，汉密尔顿紧随其后排名第三。罗素在那节比赛中同样排名第五，而安东内利则因车队在执行非正规车手的练习赛配额而缺席。替补车手弗雷德·韦斯蒂 (Fred Vesti) 排名第七。 陷入困境的阿斯顿·马丁车队在升级赛车后取得了一些进展，费尔南多·阿隆索 (Fernando Alonso) 在第 1 节练习赛中排名第 13，但队友兰斯·斯特罗尔 (Lance Stroll) 因悬挂系统故障而剧烈打转。此次损坏导致斯特罗尔无法参加第二节练习赛。这是 F1 年度季中休赛前的最后一站比赛，下一场比赛将直到 8 月 23 日的荷兰大奖赛才举行。
马霍姆斯在膝盖手术后 获准参加训练营
新闻服务 (NEWS SERVICES)
马霍姆斯周五表示，他本早些时候拜访了在达拉斯执业、为他实施手术的骨科医生丹·库珀 (Dr. Dan Cooper)，并确认他已达到所有必要指标，能够准时前往密苏里西部州立大学报道。 酋长队将于周六开始针对新秀、四分卫以及伤愈复出球员的练习。全队训练将于下周开始。 在这些球员中，没有谁比马霍姆斯更重要。他在 12 月的一场输给充电队的比赛末段受伤，随后立即接受了手术。马霍姆斯并没有像往常那样在德克萨斯州的家中度过休赛期，而是在酋长队的练习设施中刻苦训练，推进康复进程，以便在 7 月下旬训练营开始时准备就绪。 “我的目标一直是能够在我进入训练营时参加练习。我们基本达到了这一步，”马霍姆斯说。“现在，关键在于积累并不断进步，这样当常规赛到来时，我就能出战。”
CBS NFL 分析员及前牛仔队四分卫托尼·罗莫 (Tony Romo) 因涉嫌经营而被捕
“仍然有很多工作要做，赛季下半场仍有一座大山需要攀登，但我现在比以往任何时候都更专注，并且坚信我们能够战斗，”汉密尔顿说道。 在上一场比赛以一位梅赛德斯之星的庆祝和另一位车手的愤慨告终后，本周在匈牙利的比赛将是对这支F1顶尖车队能否保持团结的考验。 在上周的比利时站比赛中，由于汉密尔顿在首圈将罗素撞出赛道，安东内利夺冠，使其领先汉密尔顿的优势几乎翻倍至 45 分，领先队友乔治·罗素 50 分。 罗素在一段充满脏话的无线电消息中宣泄了他的挫败感，询问梅赛德斯为什么他突然失去了速度并掉到汉密尔顿身后，迫使他进行一次冒险的超越。 梅赛德斯副技术总监西蒙·雷斯塔周五表示，这是因为“我们的软件有一个漏洞”，车队已经找到了问题。“我们认为在进入布达佩斯之前，我们终于理解并解决了这个问题，”他说。
根据密尔沃基县警长办公室的逮捕报告，罗莫周四在 43 号州际公路向南行驶时被拦截，在现场清醒度测试中表现不佳。
原定于 12 月 21 日举行的杜克大学与密歇根大学之间备受期待的非联盟男子篮球赛已被取消。该场比赛原计划在麦迪逊广场花园举行，但由于对广播权的误解，促使双方尝试将比赛移至马林斯队的主场 LoanDepot 公园。然而，广播权问题依然存在，所有相关方未能达成协议。
迈克尔·金在周五打出了 PGA 巡回赛历史上第 15 次 59 杆，在 3M 公开赛的第 18 洞完成了一个 24 英尺的推杆并抓到小鸟球。金在 TPC Twin Cities 赛场上打出了一个无柏忌回合，并在最后四个洞全部抓到小鸟球，使其在本次锦标赛中达到 14 杆下。
国际奥委会成员兼国际足联领导人吉安尼·因凡蒂诺无需向奥运组织解释美国总统唐纳德·特朗普如何帮助停止一名球员在世界杯上的禁赛。国际奥委会周五表示，它没有管辖权去调查因凡蒂诺涉嫌缺乏政治中立的问题。……尽管有人接触并邀请佩普·瓜迪奥拉接手意大利队主教练工作，但他的意愿仍然是离开赛场“至少一年”。
波加查在 l'Alpe d'Huez 采取天才进攻 塔德伊·波加查从标志性的 l'Alpe d'Huez 山脚发起了一次惊人的单骑进攻，赢得了环法自行车赛第 19 赛段的冠军，并在周五扩大了总成绩领先优势。即便以这位四届环法冠军的高标准来看，这次获胜也堪称其最佳胜利之一，因为在距离终点约 7.5 英里时，他落后超过三分钟。在最后一段路程中，他在没有队友陪同的情况下骑行，在还剩 1.5 公里时追上了厄瓜多尔车手理查德·卡拉帕斯和法国人伦尼·马丁内斯，随后加速冲线，夺得他今年赛事的第五个赛段冠军及总共第 26 个赛段冠军。马丁内斯落后 6 秒完赛，而卡拉帕斯（他在周四的第 18 赛段通过一次精彩的突围赢得了冠军）落后 9 秒。美国车手塞普·库斯在最后阶段掉速，落后 1 分 14 秒。波加查在总成绩榜上领先雷姆科·埃文坡尔 7 分 11 秒，在还剩两个赛段的情况下，他即将与埃迪·默克斯、米格尔·印杜拉因、雅克·安基尔和贝尔纳·伊诺成为仅有的五次赢得环法赛的男子车手。除非发生意外或事故，这位斯洛文尼亚之星将在周日比赛于巴黎香榭丽舍大街结束时被加冕。

在经历了去年的糟糕赛季后，曼宁正致力于让德克萨斯大学的这一季变得伟大
作者：Eddie Pells 美联社 (ASSOCIATED PRESS)
佛罗里达州坦帕 —— 这位在明年 NFL 选秀中可能被首轮选中的四分卫，不会因为思考看似光明灿烂的 2027 年而分心。他更不会浪费大量时间去担忧他那并不完美的 2025 年。
德克萨斯大学的 Arch Manning，作为橄榄球四分卫皇家家族长久传承中的最新成员，在周四的 SEC 媒体日结束之际，接受了 20 分钟的提问。他主要谈论的是 2026 年。
“我现在不担心未来的任何事情，”他说，“我担心的是如何顺利完成这次采访。”
他表现得很好。
他系着一条焦橙色的领带，翻领上别着一枚长角牛 (Longhorn) 徽章。作为库珀之子、佩顿和伊莱之侄以及阿奇之孙，他在面对三排深队的记者围堵时表现得游刃有余。
— 被与他人（无论是家族内部还是外部）比较的感觉如何？ “我正努力做得更好，而不是将自己与他人比较。人们说，比较是快乐的敌人。”
— 他是否期待带领长角牛队前往佩顿叔叔曾经征战过的旧地 —— 田纳西大学的内兰体育场 (Neyland Stadium)？“他们有优秀的教练和球员。我们很期待去那里。我不会把这件事变成关于我个人的话题。”
— 他最喜欢的爱好是什么？答案：高尔夫。“上周我第一次打破了 80 杆。嗯，差不多。我给了自己一次推杆机会。”
当然，对于这位 22 岁的准大三学生来说，仍有工作要做。在 2025 年那个动荡的 10-3 赛季中，他在长角牛队的身体状况和名声都遭受了打击。
在进入作为首发球员的第二个赛季之际，曼宁坚称，他试图将人们强加在他身上的期望降到最低 —— 自高中时期被视为必然之星以来，他就承受着这些压力 —— 同时也试图淡化那些批评声。有些批评者认为，他去年 3-2 的开局导致他在 NFL 选秀名单上的排名下降，使他成为了大学橄榄球历史上最大的“水货”之一。
“每个人都有自己的看法，人们在媒体上说话是有报酬的，所以你真正能做的没什么，”他说，“我正试图控制那些可以控制的事情。”
他在上个赛季被擒杀 (sacked) 了 23 次，承受的压力则更多。正因为他是曼宁家族的一员，从他在糟糕表现后的反应，到他的球权释放时间 —— 大约 3.2 秒 —— 所有细节都被剖析得比典型的优秀大学四分卫要深得多。
德克萨斯大学上赛季以 14-7 负于俄亥俄州大学开局，五周后又在 29-21 负于佛罗里达队的比赛中被擒杀 6 次，而那支佛罗里达队后来被证明其实并不强。
在输给佛罗里达鳄鱼队的比赛中，最突出的一幕是曼宁在六次擒杀之一后，几乎被两名线卫夹在中间，身体折成了一半。
以及一段视频记录地他由于其中两次……（此处原文本中断）
西班牙主帅痛批阿根廷行为 在国际足联（FIFA）调查世界杯决赛后阿根廷队的行为之际，西班牙主教练路易斯·德拉富恩特将这些事件描述为“不可容忍且不可接受的”。
周日，西班牙队在加时赛中以 1-0 获胜，击败卫冕冠军。周一，国际足联要求一名纪律检察官就赛场上紧张的冲突进行汇报。阿根廷中场莱昂德罗·帕雷德斯与西班牙球员埃里克·加西亚和加维发生了肢体冲突，而西班牙队长罗德里在跑过阿根廷后卫纳胡埃尔·莫利纳时腹部被击中。
“这绝不能被允许，”图中的德拉富恩特周四告诉西班牙公共广播公司 TVE，并补充说，他当时在“与他人庆祝”，没有看到这些事件。“无论如何，我认为对于这种量级的球员来说，这种行为是不可容忍且不可接受的，而我在前几天还赞扬过他们，而且他们拥有一名卓越的教练，”这位西班牙主教练表示。
国际足联尚未公布调查员的具体职责，也未说明是否会寻求西班牙球员及工作人员的证词。阿根廷助理教练罗伯托·阿亚拉周三就他与丹尼·奥尔莫的冲突表示道歉，他将该行为描述为推搡而非挥拳。
那天的拦截次数。 他在那场比赛后回归，取得了 7-1, 战绩，投出了 20 次达阵传球，并让“长角牛”重新回到了季后赛的讨论之中，这一点有时被人们忽略了。
德克萨斯大学今年将再次对阵这两支球队，首先是 9 月 12 日对阵俄亥俄州立大学。
长角牛队引入了来自奥本大学的接球手卡姆·科尔曼以及两名跑卫——好莱坞·斯莫瑟斯（北卡罗来纳州立大学）和拉利克·布朗（亚利桑那州立大学），以协助他们的明星四分卫。
“我认为他所经历的压力，可能会让 99% 处于他那种境地的人崩溃或被摧毁，”教练史蒂夫·萨基西安说道。“他所做的就是保持一致，并忠于自我，那就是继续努力工作，继续做一个伟大的队友，努力变得更好，而他做到了。”
曼宁说，这基本上也是 2026 年的目标。
如果他能不负众望，那么在选秀日听到他的名字被首位选中将不会令人惊讶。
他计划于 12 月毕业。无论是这件事，还是任何关于他的家庭、未来或他在比赛中地位的讨论，都不会分散他的注意力。
“我只想被记住为一个优秀的队友，一个为了帮助球队获胜并更进一步而竭尽全力的人，”他说。“我并不担心我的名声。我只想赢球并享受快乐。”
乌鸦队在新秀训练营前夕裁掉四分卫帕维亚 周四，巴尔的摩乌鸦队解雇了四分卫迭戈·帕维亚，就在新秀报到训练营的前一天。帕维亚在上一赛季就读于范德比尔特大学，是海斯曼奖的亚军，于 4 月以无顺位自由球员身份签约。他原本希望在两届 MVP 拉马尔·杰克逊和老将泰勒·亨特利之后，竞争第三四分卫的位置。斯凯拉·汤普森和乔·法尼亚诺将竞争该位置。
帕维亚带领范德比尔特大学实现了校史首次 10 胜赛季，传球码数达 3,539 码，完成 29 次达阵。帕维亚被评为全美最佳第一阵容以及 SEC 年度最佳进攻球员，并获得了约翰尼·尤尼塔金臂奖（授予大学足球中最佳的高年级四分卫）。
在选秀前的整个过程中，人们对他 24 岁的年龄、缺乏身高（5-foot-10）以及场外决策能力持有疑问。在 12 月获得海斯曼奖得主费尔南多·门多萨之后的亚军后，帕维亚在 Instagram 上发布了一张照片，配文“F- 所有的投票者”，并在社交媒体上配了一个大拇指朝下的表情符号。他后来道歉了。
随着帕维亚被裁，乌鸦队的名单中仍有四名四分卫。—— 通讯社
克洛普以警告 开启德国队 执教生涯
作者：James Ellingworth | 美联社
尤尔根·克洛普（Jürgen Klopp）周五在他作为德国队主教练的新工作中开启了强有力的开局。在他试图带领一支在世界杯上再次失利的球队实现反弹之前，他便划定了其认为可能导致自己辞职的底线。
在一次充满对抗性的首次新闻发布会上，这位前利物浦主教练警告德国媒体，如果他认为媒体侵犯了他家人的隐私，他将辞职。
他还暗示，德国队可能是他的最后一项教练工作，并承认自己并不是国际比赛的狂热追随者。
克洛普的目标 是 2028 欧洲杯 和 2030 世界杯 克洛普是德国足协的首选目标，现在他签署了一份直到 2030 世界杯的合同。在周五的亮相仪式上，他表示接手这项工作是“巨大的荣誉”，并示意这可能是他作为教练的最后一个角色。
克洛普周五表示，如果情况不理想，或者批评声音过于猛烈，他准备在没有任何离职补偿金的情况下离开；并威胁说，如果媒体不能“让我的家人安静地生活”，他将辞职。
“尤尔根·克洛普在国家队之后就没有职业生涯了，”他说。“理想情况下，这将是我职业生涯、我生活以及我工作生涯的高光时刻。我会倾尽我所有能做的一切。”
他接替了朱利安·纳格尔斯曼（Julian Nagelsmann）。在德国队负于巴拉圭、导致连续第三次未能进入男足世界杯 16 强之后，纳格尔斯曼在巨大的批评声中辞职。
克洛普表示，他认为纳格尔斯曼和英格兰队主教练托马斯·图赫尔（Thomas Tuchel）在媒体上受到了不公正对待。“尽管我听说了你们如何对待朱利安，尽管我听说了英格兰如何对待图赫尔，但我依然接手了这份工作，”他说道，但没有具体说明他认为问题出在哪里。
克洛普希望 让德国足球再次变得酷起来 这是克洛普自 2024 年因疲劳离开利物浦后的首个教练职务。他在讨论德国队工作的评论中表示，自己已经“重新充电”了。
克洛普示意，他计划在球队阵容选择上做出一些令人惊讶的决定，并表示他的使命不仅是赢得比赛，而且要让球队重新找回热闹的气氛。克洛普本人承认，自从上次在重大赛事之外观看国家队比赛以来已经“有一段时间了”。
“我想利用国家队创造一些东西，让人们在看完比赛回家后会想‘那真的太酷了’。这就是我想看到发生的事情，”他说。
克洛普的到来 源于世界杯期间的洽谈 这位以在利物浦执教激动人心的“重金属足球”而闻名的男人，在纳格尔斯曼辞职后立即成为了德国队的首选候选人。
在数周的洽谈过程中，这位 59 岁的德国人（比纳格尔斯曼大 20 岁）作为一名德语广播公司的世界杯评论员留在美国。
足协还与红牛（Red Bull）集团进行了洽谈，克洛普在过去一年半的时间里在那里担任“全球足球负责人”，为该集团遍布全球的足球俱乐部提供建议。
德国足协主席贝尔恩德·诺伊多夫（Bernd Neuendorf）表示，不会向红牛支付典型的违约金来获取克洛普。相反，足协向一家与红牛相关的慈善机构支付 100 万欧元（$1.14 million），并同意在东部城市莱比锡举行三场国家队比赛，红牛在该市支持一支德甲俱乐部球队。
在 9 月下旬和 10 月初的 11 天内，克洛普将面对荷兰、希腊和塞尔维亚的四场欧国联比赛，这对他首个国家队教练工作而言是一个艰难的开端。第一个重大里程碑将是 2028 欧洲足球锦标赛。
默特萨克加入克洛普的德国队阵营
自 2014 年决赛击败阿根廷以来，德国队在世界杯淘汰赛中尚未赢过一场比赛。现在，那支球队的一名球员将与克洛普共事。
前后卫佩尔·默特萨克 (Per Mertesacker) 加入克洛普的团队，担任足协的新任体育管理总监，其职责涵盖监督德国成年男子国家队，并重点致力于通过青年国家队培养球员，使其成为成年国家队的球星。他将于 1 月起任职，在此之前，他负责管理阿森纳青训学院八年。
克洛普与他在利物浦时期的两名助教彼得·克拉维茨 (Peter Krawietz) 和佩普·利因德斯 (Pep Lijnders) 再次团聚，而利因德斯在几周前刚刚离开曼城，结束其担任佩普·瓜迪奥拉助教的职务。前德国队球员斯文·本德 (Sven Bender) 同样担任助教。在一项不寻常的安排中，克洛普的长期经纪人马克·科西克 (Marc Kosicke) 加入教练组，负责战略和行政工作，但他不将成为足协的雇员。

State plans to lay off 250 workers at downstate mental health center mired in abuse allegations

Arrest in infant’s ’05 death puts new focus on Safe Haven law
By Joseph States PIONEER PRESS
It’s a quiet, overcast day in Highland Memorial Park cemetery as Susan Schulenberg stands over a small, dark stone embedded in the grass. She places a few bright flow- ers beside the grave, which has the words “With our Heavenly Father loved and remembered” inscribed on the face, and the names David and Rosa. More than 20 years ago, on Nov. 18, 2005, she had stood in much the same place for the burial of the two babies. Schulenberg has no personal connection to the two chil- dren buried there — both had died after being abandoned by their biological parents — but Rest in His Arms, a nonprofit she founded in 2005, has orga- nized the burials of more than 50 abandoned infants in the last 21 years, including David and Rosa. Earlier this month, Schulen- berg was shocked to learn that, according to authorities, David’s biological mother had been identified with new DNA technology and charged with involuntary manslaughter, potentially bringing a 25-year- old cold case to a close. Standing above the infants’ grave, Schulenberg reflected on the heartbreaking situation, made all the more tragic by Illi- nois’ Safe Haven law — passed just days before his 2001 death — that might have saved the two babies.

Cases surpass tally for whole year with months of ’26 to go
By Devi Shastri ASSOCIATED PRESS
The number of measles cases in the U.S. has surpassed the record-breaking tally for all of 2025, with five more months of 2026 still to come. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logged 2,318 cases of measles as of Thursday, according to an agency update Friday. The nation had 2,289 cases in 2025, the worst year for measles in more than three decades. Now, 2026 has easily become the nation’s worst year for measles since 1991, as major outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah and Arizona have sick- ened hundreds and smaller clusters of cases sparked in other states. In November, international health officials will meet to determine if the U.S. and Mexico have lost their measles- free status. The U.S. eliminated local measles spread in 2000 by maintaining high vaccina- tion rates, which have fallen in recent years to below the 95% coverage needed to prevent outbreaks. While measles cases in the U.S. are climbing, it may be impossible to say exactly how far-reaching the spread is. Public health departments and disease researchers have long acknowledged that official counts are incomplete because some people get sick and don’t seek out treatment — some- thing not unique to measles. Furthermore, experts say the spread might be greater than what’s known because the virus is one of the most contagious

The treasurer of Dominguez’s candidate committee, Kat Zamar- rón, said in a statement that “the campaign is in compliance and more activity will be in the next report.” A spokesperson for his campaign said donations from his June 27 fundraiser hadn’t appeared by the end of the filing period on June 30 due to processing delays. Domin- guez said in a statement that the race “is about parents, students and communities.”

Officials move toward restricting police stops for minor infractions
By Cam’ron Hardy PIONEER PRESS
Officials in Oak Park are eying a policy that would restrict police traffic stops related to vehicle equipment violations and other non-safe- ty-related reasons such as broken tail lights, missing or expired registrations and license plate tags that are not completely visible. The Oak Park Village Board on July 21 directed staff members to work with the village’s Citizens Police Oversight Commission and Pivot Consulting Group to draft a policy within 60 days that would limit what it called pretext traffic stops, which often are used by officers as a way to investigate for more serious crimes. The motion and approval comes after the death of Christian Wallace, a 38-year- old Chicago resident, who was fatally shot by an Oak Park police officer in May after he was pulled over for failing to use his turn signal while changing lanes.

enabling individuals to live in the least restrictive envi- ronment of their choice,” a spokesperson for the depart- ment said. Since 2023, the department “has been steadily reducing available beds for individuals with developmental disabil- ities,” according to the state- ment from AFSCME, which is objecting to the layoffs. “Unfortunately, the depart- ment chose to forge ahead with a plan which will weaken services for the most vulnera- ble mentally ill individuals and upend the lives of hundreds of Choate employees and their families,” AFSCME Council 31 Executive Director Roberta Lynch said. The Pritzker administra- tion assured AFSCME that the budget for the fiscal year that began July 1 would not include layoffs, Lynch added. The Tribune has previ- ously reported that many people in state-operated developmental centers who have sought less restrictive homes, such as a placement in a smaller group home, have languished on waiting lists. Illinois has a troubled track record of transitioning resi- dents to group homes, and

“Unlike the billionaires who fought against giving Chicagoans a vote like this, they don’t have a lot of money,” he said. The complaint cites the names of several petition circulators used by Domin- guez’s campaign, who it said have been paid by other polit- ical committees. He told the Tribune when he filed to run he collected more than 9,000 signatures. The filing notes his website has a page accepting dona- tions through the fundraising platform ActBlue and reads “paid for by Friends of Hilario Dominguez,” which was still visible Friday. Dominguez first announced his candidacy in late May. The complaint also lists dozens of social media posts in
Wallace was asked to get out of the vehicle, and the officer found a weapon in Wallace’s waistband and the two strug- gled for possession of it before Wallace was fatally shot four times. Oak Park officials released footage of the traffic stop in June. Trustee Derek Eder, who made the motion that was seconded by Trustee Chibuike Enyia, also recommended that the Oak Park Police Depart- ment create an internal policy that restricts the use of pretext stops. The department policy, Eder said, “should state that stops, for whatever reason, should focus on the infrac- tion and clarify that expand- ing the scope of the initial stop is not allowed unless there are specific articulable facts devel- oped within the scope of the initial contact that prompt additional inquiry.” Time spent by police on minor violations could be better spent on preventing more harmful driving situa- tions, Eder said. “Traffic safety is extremely
supply remains low. More than three years after the governor’s 2023 announcement, the popula- tion across the state’s seven state-operated developmen- tal centers has been reduced from 1,639 to 1,413, the IDHS spokesperson said. At Choate specifically, there were just under 200 people with intellectual and develop- mental disabilities in March 2023, according to IDHS. As of Thursday, that number was down to 16, the agency said. A block of 75 beds for behavioral health patients will be phased down in March, and a 40-bed forensic unit will remain, the department said. “This is a devastating blow to Southern Illinois. The state’s decision will cost our region hundreds of jobs, uproot vulnerable patients, and create chaos for families and employees who deserve far better than this,” Republi- can state Sen. Terri Bryant of Murphysboro said in a state- ment. The question of how to deal with the facility has long been a lightning rod for the state, the employee union and resi- dents and their advocates, many of whom have pushed for residents to transition to less restrictive living arrange- ments.

Late Friday, Dominguez’s committee reported $44,415 of in-kind contributions from CTU for consulting and contractual services. The donations were received late last week, according to filings with the state board, which would fall outside the latest disclosure period. Candidates are not required to disclose spend- ing or contributions less than $5,000 in a 12-month period, according to Matt Dietrich, public information officer at the Board of Elections. Donations aren’t considered received until they’re depos- ited in a committee’s bank account. “If they haven’t hit that
important, and I want to be clear that this is not for stop- ping people for speeding, running stop signs or any other traffic violations that help keep drivers and bicyclists and pedestrians safe,” Eder said. According to the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union, he said, traffic stops prompted by minor violations such as broken tail lights and tinted windows rarely make roads safer, but instead can lead to violence, racial disparities and loss of trust in the police. Eder said Oak Park police conducted 569 field contact stops in 2025, and approxi- mately 74% of those pulled over were Black people, according to a police depart- ment report. Of those stops, only 101 of the encounters led to arrests, he said. Eder said he wanted the policy to include consistent reporting on traffic stops and violations, to track the impact of it. “I think this is an opportu- nity to do some things that we should have done already,” said Trustee Jenna Leving Jacob-
ally mandated independent organization helping oversee the governor’s plan, said in a midpoint assessment report in 2025 that Choate residents who are supposed to be tran- sitioning to more homelike settings were waiting too long to be moved or that Illi- nois officials are sending those residents to other large, state- run facilities. An investigation in 2022 by ProPublica, Capitol News Illinois and Lee Enterprises found that Illinois State Police had launched at least 40 criminal probes over the past decade into alleged employee misconduct at the Choate facility. Employees there have been charged criminally more than a dozen times over the years on allegations that include everything from beating up residents to forcing a resi- dent to drink a cup of hot sauce. Workers have also been cited for not reporting abuse, obstructing investigations and lying to state police. The governor’s plan called for “new safety enhance- ments” at not only Choate, but across all other state- run developmental centers, among other provisions. “The transformation at Choate moves Illinois in closer alignment with nation- wide, research-informed best
$5,000 threshold, they’re not required to start reporting anything,” Dietrich said. The complaint, which was shared with the Tribune by Revuluri’s campaign, will not be made public unless the state board determines that it was “filed on justifiable grounds,” Dietrich said. The board’s next meeting is slated for Oct. 20 — two weeks before the November election. If the board rules in favor of the complainant, Dominguez will have to file an amended quarterly report and could face fines. Hugo Jacobo, a political consultant, filed the complaint on Revuluri’s behalf. Jacobo chairs the political action committee Chicago Demo- crats for Education and has previously opposed CTU’s influence on the school board. Dominguez was endorsed by the union in June.

In 2022, the BerryDunn national consulting group worked with Oak Park officials on improving public safety, examining several aspects of the Oak Park Police Depart- ment, including its overall operations, internal and exter- nal race equity issues and other aspects that addressed polic- ing equity issues. Officials on July 21 said the new traffic stop policy would further move the department into alignment with the BerryDunn public safety assessment recommen- dations. Tristan Rogers, an Oak Park resident, spoke in favor of the draft policy. “Pretextual stops dispro- portionately target Black and brown drivers, and, too often turn violent, even deadly,” he said. “Restricting those stops is the single most concrete step we can take to ensure we never lose another community member to a police encounter over a routine traffic violation.”
practices, advances the state’s commitment to equity and the civil rights of people with disabilities,” Pritzker’s office said in a 2023 statement. “It also reflects the state’s legal duty to ensure residents with disabilities have a full oppor- tunity to live in the least restrictive environment of their choosing.” On Friday, the Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, which represents community providers that serve Illinoisans with intel- lectual and developmen- tal disabilities and serious mental illnesses, applauded the administration’s decision. “The heartbreaking abuse allegations at Choate demanded decisive action, and we support Governor JB Pritzker and the Illi- nois Department of Human Services as they move forward with this next phase of tran- sitioning residents to the settings that best meet their individual needs,” IARF President Josh Evans said in a statement. “This transition also represents an opportu- nity to continue strengthen- ing Illinois’ community-based system of care … Illinois has shown that meaningful progress is possible when state government, providers, advocates, and families work together.”
consultant and a former board appointee, said his campaign filed the complaint because he was concerned about trans- parency in the race. “If we can’t trust that (this campaign) is going to follow the rules, I as a resident and a voter would have lots of concerns about whether they can be trusted in governing a district that is responsible for the well-being and learning of 315,000 students and the over- sight of a $10 billion budget,” Revuluri said. Three other candidates are running for school board president: current board members Jessica Biggs and Jennifer Custer, along with attorney Victor Henderson. The race is expected to be hotly contested — and expen- sive — as CTU and pro-school- choice groups line up behind candidates. Nearly $2 million has been raised by candidates since last July.
parasite now
linked to Ill.
IDPH: Many reporting cyclosporiasis symptoms consumed shredded lettuce
By Matthew Perrone
and Zareen Syed
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — Federal health officials on Friday said they have linked cases of a diarrhea-causing parasite tied to shredded lettuce to an additional four states, expanding the scope of the largest U.S. outbreak of cyclospora. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the outbreak first tied to Taco Bell restaurants now includes Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylva- nia. Previously the agency’s investigation included five states: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. The Illinois Department of Public Health said in an email Friday afternoon that it is “intensifying its investigation” as the agency continues to work with local, state and federal part- ners to determine all possi- ble sources of the outbreak. A number of people report- ing cyclosporiasis symptoms in Illinois had consumed shredded lettuce while dining out, IDPH said. “July case reports are rising at a level we have not seen since 2018,” said Dr. Sameer Vohra, director of the IDPH, in a statement. “We recommend Illinois residents, but especially

our elderly, infants and those with weaker immune systems, reach out to their health care provider if they experience sudden, ongoing diarrhea.” As of Wednesday, Illinois had 508 confirmed or prob- able cases of cyclosporia- sis. Of those, 156 individuals reported travel outside the U.S. and 291 acquired the illness domestically. The remaining cases are under investigation with unknown travel status, according to IDHP. So far, 39 people in Illinois have been hospital- ized for treatment. Vohra noted a few measures that could help prevent cyclosporiasis, including washing hands before preparing or eating food, thoroughly washing produce and, when appro- priate, cooking produce to a temperature of at least 158 degrees. IDPH said products that are suspected of being part of the outbreak are now being removed from restaurants, retail stores and other food service locations, and the agency “is hopeful that those actions and increased public awareness will lead to fewer cases in the days ahead.” Cyclospora is more chal- lenging than other para- sitic illnesses to track down, Emily Landon, UChicago Medicine’s executive medi- cal director of infection

prevention and control, told the Tribune last week. The cyclosporiasis incuba- tion period is two to 14 days, longer than that for other diarrheal illnesses, which makes it difficult to nail down a culprit, she said. The CDC, Food and Drug Administration and state health officials have been tracing the supply of the lettuce and interviewing people across the nation about the foods they ate two weeks before getting sick. The number of cases nationwide linked to lettuce served at Taco Bell is now 1,947, including at least 98 people who had to be hospi- talized. There have been no deaths, the agency reported on its website.
The total number of people sickened by the outbreak is likely higher than the official tally, given that not all cases are reported, the agency noted. FDA officials earlier this week said they remain focused on lettuce from Taylor Farms as the source of the multistate outbreak. The company last week announced it was recalling iceberg lettuce grown in central Mexico. On Thursday, the FDA announced it was investi- gating a separate outbreak of cyclospora reported in 72 people. Regulators had not yet identified the products linked to the illnesses. Overall, cyclospora cases have set a U.S. record. Since
May 1, CDC has received reports of more than 4,100 laboratory-confirmed cases and is investigating more than 7,400 other likely cases across 41 states. Federal health officials have said that other “brands, restau- rants, retailers, or distribu- tion channels” could be tied to the outbreak as the inves- tigation continues. Cyclospora is a micro- scopic parasite that infects food that has come into contact with human feces, most commonly when produce is irrigated or washed with contaminated water. When ingested, the parasite causes intestinal illness marked by “frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements,” accord-
ing to the CDC. On Thursday, Mexico health officials announced that the parasite was not detected in the lettuce or water at the Taylor Farms plant in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The results were announced following a visit by Mexican health authorities to the Taylor Farms plant between July 18 and 20, during which 10 samples of iceberg lettuce were collected. Four water samples also were collected for analysis, authorities stated.

responded to a report of a dead infant in a bag in a dumpster behind a grocery store on Rollins Road. Among those at the scene were Ryan Rodriguez — today the department’s chief of police, but at the time a commu- nity service officer — and Paul Grace, who would later become a Round Lake Beach detective and then commander of investigations. Rodriguez vividly remem- bers the day; it has remained with both men over the last 25 years of their careers. He was a young man at the time, Rodriguez said, but looking back now, “a bit older and wiser of a man” with a family of his own, the case is deeply personal. “I have a more profound appreciation for the value of life, and in particular the value of our children’s lives,” he said. “Seeing how quickly my own daughter has grown, it’s a case that has resonated with me in a very personal way as I have matured and developed.” The case would go cold, but Grace said it contin- ued to stick with him too. In 2015, as a detective, he took another look at the evidence. There “wasn’t a viable path forward” for the DNA case- work needed, he said, an issue that would remain until 2023. By then commander of investigations, Grace took yet another look. Geneal- ogy databases had become an effective tool for crack- ing cold cases, and police department officials put together a proposal to the village to get the funding. It wasn’t a cheap effort, Rodriguez said, thanking the village for supporting the department in its inves- tigation. Today, with DNA

for Commander Grace’s own individual passion … but for picking up that file, there was nobody out there advocating for this case to be investigated.” The DNA evidence and genealogy database was no guarantee they’d get a lead, Grace said. It required find- ing a biological relative who could make some identifica- tion of the biological mother. But they got “the best-case scenario,” identifying the biological father, who Rodri- guez said hadn’t been aware of the child’s existence. That ultimately led the investigation to Jennifer Lebron, 48, who was charged earlier this month with involuntary manslaughter.
SAFE HAVEN Both Rodriguez and Schulenberg emphasized the need to inform people about the Safe Haven law. The Illi- nois Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act allows unharmed newborns up to 30 days old to be handed to staff at hospitals, police stations and firehouses, with no questions asked and no fear of prosecution. It was signed in Illi- nois just nine days before David was found dead in a dumpster, and Schulenberg wondered if the tragedy might have been avoided if Lebron had known about it. Schulenberg recalled once speaking at a high school

about the Safe Haven law, and a student coming up to her afterward. He told her he had been left at a safe haven as a baby and grew up with an adoptive family. “I said a couple of things that had really touched him. One was his mom, his biological mom, had loved him enough to bring him somewhere safe. He said, ‘Nobody’s ever told me that,’ ” Schulenberg recalled. Even decades after it was passed, there’s still a lack of awareness about the Safe Haven law, she said, meaning the same headlines continue to appear in the news. The incidents garner anger from many people, including Schulenberg, but she also feels deep frustration and sadness.
BABY DAVID While Schulenberg calls the infant David, and it’s the name she said she put on his death certifi- cate when he was buried, he remained unnamed for years in a morgue after his death. Another organiza- tion, AMT Children of Hope, named him “Jacob Hope” according to a Lake County state’s attorney’s office news release earlier this month. Schulenberg, a religious woman, often chooses names with spiritual significance — “David” is the king from the Old Testament, a little shep- herd boy who became some-

Prosecutors in court also said that a fifth suspected brothel had been discovered in Hanover Park during the arrest operation, according to a news release Thursday from the state’s attorney’s office. The investigation, led by the Kane County state’s attorney’s office’s human exploitation unit, in part- nership with a number of local law enforcement agencies, culminated in an arrest operation on July 16, during which all six men were apprehended, officials said. The arrest operation was conducted across Kane, Cook, McHenry, Boone and Winnebago counties. Three women were recov- ered during the operation and offered services and resources by victim advo- cates and medical person- nel on site, according to the state’s attorney’s office. The men allegedly controlled apartments used as brothels, collected and transferred proceeds, cleaned and maintained the apartments, installed home security cameras to facilitate the operation of the brothels and received up to $400 per week as compensation, the news release from the state’s
thing great, she said. The act of naming the infants is important, not just for legal reasons, but for honoring them in death, she said. “We’re all called by a name; God knew our names from the moment he created us,” Schulenberg said. “He had a purpose for creating these children. And while it’s tragic and sad that David’s not going to be here to cele- brate his 25th birthday, God had a plan.” David and Rosa were the second and third infants Rest in His Arms helped bury. The first was in September 2005, a Grayslake baby found dead in a landfill that Schulen- berg learned about from a Chicago Tribune story. A few weeks after that first funeral, she said, the Lake County coroner’s office called, saying they had another two abandoned infants that had been kept for several years by that point. That second joint funeral was covered by the Tribune. Standing once again at the infants’ grave, Schulen- berg said she hadn’t visited for some time, although she noted the cemetery manager will sometimes come out and sing to them. When Schulen- berg heard the news that David’s mother had report- edly been identified and charged, she was left with a flurry of emotions. “We want justice for these babies. We stand in to be
attorney’s office said. The charges further allege that some used fraudu- lent identification to obtain leases for apartments that were subsequently used as brothels. Additionally, one alleged brothel in West Dundee was located less than 600 feet from an elementary school, while another alleged brothel in Rockford was also located near an elementary school, per the state’s attor- ney’s office. The men now face charges including promoting prosti- tution for profit, promoting prostitution near a school and forgery, according to officials. According to the state’s attorney’s office, the men who have been arrested and charged are Abisahit Del Angel Hernández, 40, of Woodstock; Gustavo A. Perez Cardoza, 35, of Aurora; Hugo F. Jaimes-Ramirez, 43, of Aurora; Kenneth E. Figueroa Castro, 29, of Belvi- dere; Delfino Torres-Na- varro, 59, of Hanover Park; and Ricardo Hernandez Lux, 33, of Elgin. Prosecutors argued that no conditions of release could mitigate the danger the men posed to the commu- nity, and Kane County Circuit Judge D.J. Tegeler ordered all six detained in the Kane County Jail while their cases are pending, per
their parents in death, but it’s not right what happened to them, that they were thrown away,” Schulenberg said. But at the same time, the Safe Haven law was created to help parents in crisis to avoid such tragedies, she said. If the mom had known about the law, maybe David would be alive today, getting ready to celebrate his 25th birthday in August. “We don’t want to have to throw a mother in jail for the rest of her life. That’s not the purpose of the law. The law is to prevent her from ever being prosecuted,” Schulen- berg said. Schulenberg said she wants to talk to Lebron at some point, to see what happened all those years ago and why she hadn’t sought out help. Had she known about the new law? Couldn’t there have been some other option? “Because if we could know that, I think we could help to prevent this from happening again. If we can hear those mothers say … whatever the issue was, maybe we could solve it,” she said. While there’s some sense of closure to be gleaned from the recent develop- ment, even if it’s mixed with a new wave of “unbeliev- able sadness,” Schulenberg has been left to wrestle with fundamental issues: “justice and mercy,” and how to reconcile the two.

my family’s love of fishing
By Susan Koch SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
When I was about 7, my dad and his three siblings from the Chicago area traveled to northern Wisconsin with the goal of find- ing a property where the extended family could build a cabin and spend summer vacations. After considerable exploring, he cast a line from the shore of some unde- veloped land on Lake Nelson not far from Hayward. Family legend has it he immediately caught a large muskie — a predator fish nicknamed the “fish of 10,000 casts” due to the considerable difficulty of ever catch- ing one. That pretty much sealed the deal. The four families pooled their resources and, for about $1,200, bought 106 feet of lakeshore at that very spot. Thus began my family’s collective initiation into what Izaak Walton, author of the foundation document of all fishing literature titled “The Compleat Angler,” called: “the broth- erhood of the angle.” Unfortunately, my dad’s memorable catch was the first and last muskie anyone in our extended family ever caught. But as the old saying goes, “there are plenty of other fish in the sea,” and our army of anglers was soon in hot pursuit of any unseen creature that would take a hook. While a boatload of adults was always out on the lake angling for walleye, we kids spent most of our time fishing off the dock or from a rowboat tethered to the shore
Black-crowned night herons A recent TV news segment about a young black-crowned night heron perched on a River North window ledge was a fun Chicago story. But it also revealed some- thing surprising: Most viewers had no idea that a bird endangered in the state has chosen to make Chicago home. For two decades, these herons have returned each spring to nest in Lincoln Park, raising their young in the heart of one of America’s largest cities. Their numbers tell an important story. In 1992, an esti- mated peak of some 1,600 adult black- crowned night herons were recorded in the Calumet region. This year, the colony reached a peak count of approximately 455 adults, a stark contrast to the historic Calu- met numbers and a reminder of the chal- lenges these birds face. Despite the challenges they face, the herons continue to choose Chicago. They continue to raise their chicks here; forage along our rivers, lagoons, and lakefront; and remind us that wildlife can still thrive in an urban landscape when we make room for it. For the past three years, volunteers with the Chicago Black-crowned Night Heron Project have met thousands of people who were amazed to learn these remark- able birds live among us. Their reaction is almost always the same: “I had no idea.” Perhaps that’s the real story. These herons haven’t given up on Chicago. They’re still here, waiting for us to notice them and to recognize that their future in Illinois depends, in part, on the choices we make today. — Amy Lardner, founder, Chicago Black- crowned Night Heron Project
Ignoring gross consumption Four thoughtful letters were printed July 22 regarding climate change. In none of these was the elephant in the room ever mentioned.

Scientific breakthroughs matter For families facing pancreatic cancer, every breakthrough represents something deeply personal: more time, more hope and a reason to believe that progress is possible. Pancreatic cancer does not discriminate based on age, race, ethnicity or gender. It has taken the lives of people as young as 30 in perfect health. It could happen to any one of us. That is why the results presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting this year are so encourag- ing. Researchers reported that in Phase 3 clinical data, daraxonrasib nearly doubled survival and reduced the risk of death by 60% for patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer, which is a remarkable advance against one of the deadliest cancers. At the Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Founda- tion, we know breakthroughs like this do not happen overnight. They are built on years of investment in innovative science, collaboration among researchers and the willingness to fund bold ideas before

— trying our best to earn bragging rights catching bass, bluegill and crappie. Given there were 19 cousins in all, cast- ing in crowded conditions on the dock required finesse not always on display. That would explain how my brother, Jim, ended up one morning with a hook firmly imbedded in the back of his head, requiring a trip to the emergency room in Hayward. Our fishing equipment lacked sophis- tication, to say the least. We knew noth-
success is certain. That belief is at the heart of our mission to support groundbreaking research, particularly in early detection, while providing patients and families with the resources and hope they need through- out their journey. This progress should also serve as a reminder to policymakers. Medical inno- vation depends on an environment that encourages sustained research and devel- opment. Policies that weaken incentives to invest in biomedical research ultimately put future breakthroughs and future patients at risk. Pancreatic cancer is personal to us, which is why we believe every scientific breakthrough matters. Today’s discoveries create tomorrow’s hope for earlier detec- tion, more effective treatments and better outcomes. — Stacia Hart, executive director, Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, Chicago
Be sure to visit Delaware It was refreshing to read Mark C. Bach’s letter (“Little-known American hero,” July 2) about the ride of Continental Congress delegate Caesar Rodney. When I was a recent college graduate from the Midwest, my first job took me to tiny Dela- ware, a state with more U.S. senators than congressmen. I learned about Rodney’s story, that his ride resulted in the Delaware

My dad, a lifelong South Sider, used to say fishing is a lot like being a White Sox fan. It requires patience during long stretches of discouragement, but the occasional explosion of exuberance makes it worthwhile. That lesson in patience, learned on the shore of Lake Nelson, has served me well over the years.
ing about crank baits or spinners or those fancy vibrating lures that now populate the aisles at Cabela’s. We were satisfied with a workable rod and reel, fresh night- crawlers dug from the front yard and a 1-inch red and white bobber clipped to the line a few inches above the sinker. Basic skills such as sticking hooks into worms, casting with a smooth arc, setting the hook and removing it quickly from the fish’s mouth all came with practice — and we were getting an abundance of that. My dad, a lifelong South Sider, used to say fishing is a lot like being a White Sox fan.

Fast-forward a few decades, and on many summer days, you’ll find me at the end of the dock on our 2-acre farm pond.

delegation voting for the Declaration of Independence. To this day, Delaware cele- brates itself as “the First State.” As people travel for the 250th anniver- sary, I recommend Delaware as a desti- nation. There are many little-publicized connections to the War for Independence that bring home the reality of the accom- plishment.

A fix for daylight saving time Most of the world runs on standard hour- based time. But some regions use half-hour or 45-minute offsets to better align with solar time or for the sake of national identity. India, Newfoundland, Iran and South Australia, for example, run on an offset of 30 minutes and Nepal, 45 minutes. And, of course, not all countries change to daylight saving time in the spring. Why doesn’t the U.S. simply split the difference between standard time and daylight saving time, permanently change all the clocks by a half hour and call it a day? — Mark Maroney, Forest Park
for both discouragement and drama. The large resident snapping turtle is often my silent companion as he, too, is on the hunt. But it won’t be long, and I’ll be head- ing north to Hayward again. Along with my cousins, we’ll pay a visit to the legend- ary Moccasin Bar with Cal Johnson’s 67-pound muskie on the wall — landed, not shot, in 1949. We’ll wander through the bar’s museum of ridiculously complex taxidermy animal dioramas — perhaps showing their age, but just as fascinating now as when we were kids. And early every morning, I’ll fetch a cup of coffee, a couple of worms, and my trusty rod and reel. I’ll send an arching cast on to the glassy lake and sit quietly, keeping careful watch on my red and white bobber. I probably won’t catch a muskie. But fish or no fish, I’ll savor, as always, the flawless contentment of “the gallant fisher’s life.”

parties’ infighting. However, here in Chicago, we should be rejoicing, as both of our baseball teams are in playoff contention, which has not happened since 2008. The Cubs were expected to be good, but the Sox are the surprise of baseball. After three successive 100-loss seasons, the Sox are once again relevant. In addition, the Bears’ summer camp is beginning with very high expectations after their very successful 2025 season. I cannot recollect such a time when all three teams were expected to be in contention. The papers and talk sport radio stations will have to decide how to allocate coverage. — Cary Riske, Grayslake

known to medicine and vacci- nation rates nationwide have declined. National vaccina- tion rates for measles, mumps and rubella — which dropped to 92.5% among kindergart- ners in the 2024-25 school year, from 95.2% in 2019-20 — obscure even lower rates in certain communities. In Utah, where public health officials have fought measles for more than a year, the virus has sick- ened more than 700 people during that time, according to the state health depart- ment. Experts relying on mathematical modeling and genetic analyses indicate that a large outbreak on the Utah-Arizona border could be around three to four times bigger than what’s currently known, state epidemiologist Dr. Leisha Nolen said. The picture is muddier in South Carolina, which had the nation’s largest outbreak in 35 years. There, the 997 total is likely an undercount, the state health department has said. Dr. Brannon Traxler, acting director of the state department of health, said the undercount is “impos- sible to know and may vary during the course of an outbreak.” Data gaps can make it hard to reliably estimate an outbreak’s true scope. Experts say hospitalization rates can be a good barome- ter, but measles hospitaliza- tions are not required to be reported in every state. “If we really had some kind of solid gold standard for the percentage of all cases that

have hospitalization or some measure of severity, then that would be another way of esti- mating the outbreak size that we could see if it’s consistent with these other methods,” said Damon Toth, an applied mathematician at the Univer- sity of Utah’s medical school, who is working on one of the Utah outbreak analyses. In Texas, researchers are still working to estimate the size of the state’s 2025 outbreak and early findings show it might have been nearly twice the size of the 762 known cases. Rémy Pasco, a mathe- matical epidemiologist at the University of Colorado Boulder who is working on the analysis, said the under- counts were unsurprising. In the absence of an adequate community vaccination rate — 95% according to health experts — “there’s just not much you can do about measles once you have it,” he said. The CDC defines an outbreak as three or more linked cases. But by the time three such cases are iden- tified in communities with low vaccination rates and less disease surveillance, “either you missed the previous ones or you’re going to have a lot more,” he added. Dr. Varun Shetty, Texas’ chief state epidemiologist, said there were instances where people tested posi- tive for measles, but health officials couldn’t confirm who else was in the person’s household or if they were sick. “What we’re able to count and report is almost always an underestimate of what actually occurred because it relies on people being will-

ing to be able to get tested, to share information with healthcare providers and with public health,” Shetty said. “Sometimes that just doesn’t happen.” The state health depart- ment previously reported that 182 probable measles cases went unconfirmed in March 2025 among minors in Gaines County — the epicenter of the outbreak — due to a lack of information. The confirmed case count for the western Texas county for the whole outbreak is 414. Shetty expects to keep seeing measles cases and even outbreaks because so many people are unpro- tected. “It’s really critical, not only for individual people, but for communities, to have high vaccination coverage,” he said. Dr. Mark Roberts, retired director of the Public Health Dynamics Lab at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, worries most for the people he calls “inno- cent bystanders.” Research and measles modeling by his team shows those who cannot get vacci- nated — young babies, people with weak immune systems and those who rarely don’t get robust immunity from the vaccine — bear the brunt of outbreaks early on. Some people see skipping vaccination as deciding not to wear a seat belt in a car, Roberts said. “Not vaccinating your kid is like saying, ‘I don’t want my car to have brakes,’ ” he said. “Because it’s other people that you can hit. It’s not just you in your car. It’s other people.”

Question: It’s been awfully dry recently. Are we now in a drought?
Answer: Though we haven’t offi cially seen any measurable rain at O’Hare the past 19 days, we still haven’t reached drought levels. This is due to the fact we had so much rain in early July. With just a few storms possible Sunday into Monday, it is quite likely that we will reach drought parameters by later next week.

new set of Trump’s tariffs
Administration alleges forced labor in imposing latest levies
By Elaine Kurtenbach and Chan Ho-Him ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANGKOK — President Donald Trump’s latest set of tariff hikes drew objections Friday from America’s trading partners including China and Japan, with Austra- lia’s trade minister slamming them as “completely unjustified.” The administration announced extra tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on 60 economies late Thursday, saying the countries had failed to adequately enforce a ban on goods made with forced labor. The new tariffs took effect just as stop- gap levies Trump imposed after a stinging defeat at the Supreme Court expired at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell rejected claims linking Australia, a major exporter of beef, gold and copper, to modern slavery and raising the tariff on its exports to the U.S. to 12.5% from the 10%

Bath & Body Works noses around to find new fragrance that could be worth millions
By Farah Stockman THE NEW YORK TIMES
NEW ALBANY, Ohio — In a brightly lit Manhattan office above a fragrance labo- ratory, Mary Testa-Gough brought a white strip of paper to her nose and inhaled. Two perfumers’ assistants awaited her verdict, as if the fate of a multibillion-dollar olfac- tory empire depended on it. “Smoky,” Testa-Gough said. “Mossy. Woody. But it feels unfinished.” As the chief “nose” for Bath & Body Works, Testa-Gough is in charge of finding the next Japanese Cherry Blossom. That single scent has generated more than $1.5 billion in sales over the last 20 years, filling millions of homes with the aroma of Asian pear, white jasmine and basmati rice. The fragrance, which emanates from candles, air fresheners, lotions and body mists, has been a bestseller since it debuted in 2006. It’s so popular that the retailer celebrated its 20th anniversary with new packaging this past spring as part of a

SAN FRANCISCO — Ten years ago, when Meta noticed that millions of Face- book users were buying and selling items on its platform, it spun up a part of the app called Facebook Marketplace for them to do just that. Since then, Marketplace has become one of the most popular parts of Face- book, where people go for what is essen- tially the internet’s largest garage sale of clothes, furniture and used cars. On Friday, Meta capitalized on that popularity with the launch of Seller, a stand-alone app for Marketplace sellers. The move was part of Meta’s strategy to
level imposed after Trump’s “Liberation Day” hikes last year. “We believe that amongst all of the coun- tries in the world Australia does take the issue of slavery, modern slavery, seriously, and will continue to do that,” Farrell told reporters in Adelaide. Australia believes the higher tariffs are “completely unjustified, and we will continue to lobby the United States Trade Representative to remove all tariffs on Australian goods,” Farrell said. New Zealand Prime Minister Christo- pher Luxon said the tariffs on his country, also subject to a 12.5% import duty, were “extremely disappointing,” unjustified and harmful to trade. A U.S. investigation serving as the basis for the tariffs did not provide meaningful evidence to support allegations of forced labor. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas questioned the U.S. stance in comments on Channel News Asia. “If you compare our labor laws to the ones of the United States, I mean we have, people have paid vacations, we have very good conditions, labor conditions for our
broader expansion strategy to help bring in new customers. Sales at Bath & Body Works slipped to $7.3 billion last year from a pandemic- era peak of $7.8 billion, pushed down by competitors marketing on TikTok and consumers increasingly suspicious of chemicals in fragrances. To fight back, CEO Daniel Heaf unveiled a plan in November that included market- ing “iconic” fragrances online as stand- alone brands and offering products on Amazon. Bath & Body Works will also begin selling some of its products at hundreds of Ulta Beauty stores this month. They’re coming out with new products. Testa-Gough has high hopes for Water- melon Whirl and Tangerine Twirl — which were among the scents released this month in a new product line. Nobody knows for sure why some scents become classics, while others fall into the discount bin. That’s why the company has invested millions of dollars in being able to quickly manufacture and distribute more candles, lotions, air fresheners and body mists when customers fall in love with a particular scent. In 2011, Bath & Body Works stopped buying plastic bottles from China and began
innovate on its original social network. In May, the Silicon Valley company released an app called Forum for people who use Facebook Groups, another core part of Facebook, as it tries to nurture Facebook’s most popular communities beyond its news feed. Facebook, which Mark Zuckerberg founded in his dorm room at Harvard University in 2004, has faced questions in recent years about its relevance as other social media apps like Instagram gained popularity. While Meta has shifted its focus to arti- ficial intelligence, the company still makes nearly all of its revenue from advertising on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook Marketplace has been a hit
employees, so it’s not really grounded,” Kallas said. Also facing a 12.5% tariff, Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry, which reiterated its stance of not condoning the use of forced labor, said it would “continue to engage the USTR (United States Trade Representative) to explore options.” Japan likewise protested the 12.5% tariff imposed on its exports, noting Tokyo had been reassured by the Trump administra- tion that there would be no more tariffs on top of an earlier agreement on a 10% U.S. import duty. “Our understanding is both sides are still committed to that,” Chief Cabinet Secre- tary Minoru Kihara told a routine news conference. “It is regrettable that the measure imposes tariffs on the grounds of nonex- istence of measures banning imports of goods made by forced labor, even though Japan’s industry and trade are in line with international rules,” Kihara said. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it “opposes all forms of unilateral tariffs” in response to the new 12.5% tariffs, reiterat- ing a long-standing statement by Beijing.
sourcing from Axium Packaging, a plastics container manufacturer that built a factory near the Bath & Body Works headquarters in New Albany, Ohio. Kdc/one, the contract manufacturer that mixes fragrances into foaming soaps, lotions and gels, also built a plant there. Since 2008, Bath & Body Works has consolidated its number of strategic suppli- ers to 50 from hundreds. It offered long- term contracts to vendors who agreed to build factories in New Albany, creating an industry cluster known as Beauty Park. “Fifty-percent of our whole supply chain came from China” in 2008, recalled Toby Thunberg, who handled supply chain logis- tics for Bath & Body Works at the time and now works for Axium, the bottle maker. Today, 85% of the supply chain for Bath & Body Works hails from North America, according to Susanna Zhu, chief procure- ment and supply chain executive at Bath & Body Works; of that, 55% is in Beauty Park. Today, the hub allows Bath & Body Works and its core suppliers to work together more closely — shrinking lead times to weeks, from months. During the pandemic, the company was able to quickly pivot to making hand sanitizer and experi- enced its best year on record.
that has kept people — especially younger users — interested in Facebook. A third of the young adults who use Facebook each day also use Marketplace, Alison said. Every month, more than 430 million items, including 44 million vehicles, are listed on Marketplace globally. Users can sign into Seller with their Facebook accounts, which will sync their old listings of items that are for sale. From there, people can navigate between their inbox, a dashboard with data on old listings and a tool to create new ones. Seller is free and will also be available in web browsers for users who download the app. Meta makes money from Marketplace from advertisements on the app and does not take a cut of sales.
TikTok for not guarding kids’ privacy
By Sam McNeil ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — The European Commis- sion on Friday said it found TikTok had not adequately protected children’s privacy rights on its platform by allowing adults to view the accounts of minors. The action exposed children to cyber- bullying, unwanted contact and predatory behavior, commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said. “Children’s content must never be visi- ble to strangers,” he said. If TikTok does not take steps called for by the European Union’s landmark Digital Services Act, “minors are exposed to predators, to grooming and to cyberbullying,” Regnier said, adding that children ages 13 to 15 can “easily” change their accounts from private to public and the private accounts of minors ages 16 to 17 can be seen by anyone on the internet. “We do not accept this,” Regnier said. “Putting default settings for minors is not a beauty contest under the DSA. It must be effective.” The investigation comes on the heels of crackdowns on Big Tech by Brussels, which has led the world in regulating tech giants. TikTok can now defend itself and reply to the findings. If unsatisfied with the Chinese social media firm’s response, the European Commission could issue a so-called non-com- pliance decision and possible fine worth up to 6% of the company’s total annual revenue. TikTok, whose parent company ByteD- ance is based in Beijing, said in a statement that it would review Brussels’ findings and “continue to engage constructively with the Commission.” “Protecting minors online is a goal we share, and we are committed to building on our strong track record of continuous improvement,” TikTok said.
FORD RECALLING OVER 500,000 BRONCOS FOR ENGINE FIRE RISK
Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than a half-million Broncos because a wiring harness in the engine compartment can short circuit and increase the risk of fire. Ford said Thursday that 565,691 Ford Broncos and Bronco Raptors, model years 2021-2026, are included in the recall. The automaker estimates that around 1% of those vehicles have the wiring harness defect. Ford said it is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue. In the event of a short, drivers may notice smoke in the air vents or a warning message on their dashboard followed by flames coming from the passenger’s side of the engine compartment. Vehicle identification numbers involved in this recall are now searchable on NHTSA.gov. NHTSA’s number for this recall campaign is 26V468. — Associated Press
CHINA ADDS EXPORT CONTROLS FOR EU FIRMS AFTER SANCTIONS
BEIJING — China announced Friday it was adding 14 European entities to an export control list in retaliation for the European Union penalizing 14 Chinese enterprises as part of its latest round of sanctions against Russia. Chinese companies will not be allowed to export dual-use items, which can be used for both civilian and military purposes, to the 14 European organizations, China’s Commerce Ministry said in a statement. Additionally, foreign companies are barred from providing to the 14 entities dual-use items made in China. The European companies affected include Czech vehicle manufacturer Tatra Trucks, Italian electric motor maker Lafert SpA, German manufacturer Sindlhauser Materi- als GmbH and French drone manufacturer Cavok UAS. — Associated Press
PAUSE ON PARAMOUNT-WARNER DEAL EXTENDED TO MID-AUGUST
The pause on Paramount Skydance Corp.’s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discov- ery Inc. has been extended another two weeks to Aug. 17 by the federal judge in California overseeing multiple challenges to the deal. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez- Olguín issued the extension Thursday. She’s still scheduled to hold a hearing Aug. 3 on whether to delay the deal further pending a trial next year to block the deal permanently. On that date, the judge will hear a pair of chal- lenges, from a group of state attorneys general led by California and from the Writers Guild of America. Paramount insists the deal will survive a legal challenge if it is allowed to present evidence showing the merger will give Holly- wood much-needed competition and allow it to better compete against tech giants like Netflix and Amazon.com. — Bloomberg News

tions to global energy markets could push millions more people into hunger by driving up fuel, fertilizer and food costs, the head of the Rome- based International Fund for Agricul- tural Development warned, as a new United Nations report showed global progress against hunger remains fragile. The U.N. food security report, released Tuesday, found global hunger has eased modestly in recent years, but projected more than 500 million people could still face chronic hunger by 2030. Africa is expected to bear the largest share of that burden. In an interview with The Asso- ciated Press on July 10, IFAD Pres- ident Alvaro Lario said geopolitical tensions and potential disruptions to shipping and energy supplies, includ- ing uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran war, could leave an additional 9 million to 18 million people facing hunger if the shocks persist. “We are in a current era where we have the highest number of conflicts and are still increasing,” Lario said. “Whenever there is a conflict, also hunger, displacement, refugees increase.” Conflict remains one of the biggest obstacles to reducing hunger world- wide, Lario added. Wars and geopolitical tensions can disrupt shipping, energy supplies and agricultural inputs, increasing costs across food systems already strained by inflation. Lario stressed that hunger and conflict often reinforce one another, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without greater stability.

fertilizers and agricultural produc- tion, he said. The impact is signifi- cant for small-scale farmers, many of whom rely on diesel fuel to pump water, harvest crops and transport goods to market. Rising fuel costs increase produc- tion expenses and can feed directly into higher food prices. The new report identifies afford- ability as one of the world’s biggest food security challenges. While food production continues to grow, roughly a third of the global popula- tion still can’t afford a healthy diet. In low-income countries, that figure rises to about 77%, according to Lario. “The biggest challenge is no longer simply producing enough food, but making healthy diets affordable,” he said. Climate change is adding further pressure to food systems and rural livelihoods. Lario noted that floods, prolonged droughts and extreme heat are increasingly disrupting agri- culture around the world and have become a common reality for many communities. Governments should focus on resilience and adaptation before disasters strike, rather than relying solely on emergency responses after- ward, he said. The report highlights Africa as the world’s most pressing food-se- curity challenge. For the first time, the continent has overtaken Asia as the region with the largest number of hungry people, and nearly 60% of the world’s chronically undernourished people could live there by 2030. Lario attributed the shift partly to rapid population growth and slower economic gains than in parts of Asia, and he called for greater investment in agriculture, infrastructure and food systems.

DETROIT — Winter Storm Uri, the multiday freeze that slammed Texas in Febru- ary 2021 and pummeled the state’s power grid, has been on Kenneth Kovar’s mind ever since. Though the resident of New Braunfels, northeast of San Antonio, didn’t lose power at the time, he wasn’t able to run his septic tank — it is inde- pendent from local systems. He had to fill his toilets with water from his backyard pool. So when Kovar, 64, bought a Ford F-150 last fall, his hope was to be better prepared for any new crisis. “I was interested in trying to find some sort of power backup situation,” he said. Now, Kovar has a setup from Ford that allows drivers of certain F-150 models to plug their vehicle into their electric meter to power parts of their home during an outage. It is the latest example of
plan to acquire Norfolk Southern
By Josh Funk ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — Union Pacific struck a deal with Canadian National to secure that rival’s support for its proposed $85 billion acqui- sition of Norfolk Southern railroad. The deal to create the nation’s first single-line transcontinental railroad has been divisive in the industry because it would concentrate market power in the hands of one company that would control more than 40% of all rail traffic and reduce the number of major freight rail- roads in the United States to five. BNSF, CPKC and CSX rail- roads all strongly oppose the merger, but now Canadian National said it will support it after winning concessions from Union Pacific.

new subscriptions amid demand
By Chan Ho-Him ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONG KONG — The new, powerful Chinese arti- ficial intelligence model Kimi K3, which has caused a stir in the U.S. tech industry, has suspended new subscrip- tions after a flood in demand overwhelmed capacity within days of the launch. The development high- lighted challenges faced by Chinese AI models in serving a growing user base at home and abroad at a time the U.S.- China tech race is heating up. Chinese open-source, lower-cost advanced AI models, including Deep- Seek’s latest V4, have been moving fast in gaining global attention. In early 2025, DeepSeek shook world markets and helped China to be recog- nized as a serious competi- tor to the U.S., where Chinese frontier AI models are largely open source, meaning they are made accessible for people to examine and build upon. “Kimi K3 has received far more love than we expected,” Moonshot AI, which is Beijing-based, wrote in a X post late Sunday. “Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity.”

automakers broadly adapting their electrification technolo- gies to the home energy busi- ness, especially as demand on the grid increases and sales of electric vehicles slow. Car companies are looking to leverage their multibil- lion-dollar EV investments to tap into a promising market in vehicle, home and grid tech- nology, both for backup power and for supporting electrical

Shippers have also lined up on both sides of the deal with some excited about the prom- ises of faster cross-coun- try deliveries while other companies mainly in the chemical and agriculture industries worry about the possibility of higher rates and service problems. UP CEO Jim Vena said he believes these agreements with Canadian National will address many of the concerns with the merger because CN will gain permission to be able to serve any customers that will see significantly reduced shipping options after the merger. And CN will take over Norfolk Southern’s ownership of smaller rail- roads in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, to ensure the
Moonshot said that it’s prioritizing existing subscribers and would be temporarily pausing new ones. “We’re adding capac- ity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches,” it added. The AI startup also posted a similar message on Chinese social media. K3’s public rollout late last week, aiming at challenging more advanced AI models by Anthropic,OpenAI and others, has rattled U.S. rivals. At 2.8 trillion param- eters, a measurement of an AI model’s capabilities, it’s deemed as the world’s larg- est open-source AI model. “New model releases generally trigger massive interest, which can strain existing compute infrastruc- ture,” said Lian Jye Su, a chief analyst at the technology research and advisory group Omdia. “This does show Moonshot AI does not have sufficient compute chips to serve the current surge in demand.” Su said that the key reason was more likely due to Moon- shot not fully anticipating the surge in K3’s popularity. By measure of front-end coding capability, a metric for AI models’ performances, Kimi K3 topped the chart of the major advanced AI

merged railroad will never control the majority of those operations. “This is truly more compelling today than we ever looked at it before,” Vena said Thursday as he discussed Union Pacific’s second-quar- ter earnings. “We think we have a strong case.” Canadian National will also gain access to tracks between St. Louis and Kansas City where there was the most overlap between UP and NS, and CN will be able to use a key rail yard in Kansas City that will help that railroad compete better for business to and from Mexico. Union Pacific will get the ability to move more traffic around the congested tracks in Chicago. “As the rail industry considers significant struc- tural change, it is essential that customers continue to benefit from meaningful competition and choice,”
models in rankings on Arena — an AI model evaluation platform — after its public release. K3’s release has also put pressure on stocks of U.S. technology titans over worries that more afford- able Chinese AI models may undercut the pricing power and demand at the U.S. AI companies, even as U.S.-led restrictions have already barred China from accessing some of the world’s advanced technologies. The price to use K3 is the highest yet for a Chinese AI model, but is still half as expensive as OpenAI’s GPT- 5.6 Sol model, according to a Friday report by Bank of America research analysts. U.S. politicians and several major U.S. AI companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have accused Chinese AI models of illicit “distillation” of their models to extract their technologies, a claim that Beijing says is “groundless.” Anthropic said that distil- lation can be a legitimate way to train AI systems, but it’s a problem when competitors “use it to acquire powerful capabilities from other labs in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost, that it would take to develop them independently.”
Ford made with company Global Power Products, makes the vehicle compatible to plug into a longer, separate cable. That cable connects to a trans- fer switch installed directly on the home’s electric meter. Through the adapter and cable series, homeowners can connect their vehicle essen- tially right to their home’s breaker box. The homeowner simply turns on and off which breaker switches they want for which devices they want powered. “The way we think about it, especially for customers who already have a compat- ible vehicle is, you already own the power source, it’s in your driveway,” said Amanda Roraff, Ford’s grid and energy services business acceleration lead. The Lightning might provide power for two to three days, depending on what home devices are being used, and the PowerBoost Hybrid, up to five days on a single tank

CN President and CEO Tracy Robinson said. But BNSF spokesperson Zak Andersen said these agreements show what can already be accomplished through cooperative agree- ments between railroads without all the disruptions of a merger that would leave many customers with fewer competitive shipping options.
energy crisis race to build buffers
By River Akira Davis THE NEW YORK TIMES
Developing nations across Asia have been hit hard by the monthslong throttling of energy flows because of their deep reliance on Middle Eastern oil and gas. As clashes between the United States and Iran ramp up again, and shipping traf- fic in the Persian Gulf nears a halt, regional capitals in Asia are assessing how to prepare for a future of protracted instability. The Philippines is leading what is expected to be a wave of developing nations seek- ing to build strategic petro- leum reserves — stockpiles of crude oil that can be tapped during disruptions. Japan is offering financing and tech- nical expertise, and officials in Tokyo say they are holding similar talks with Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Japan’s involvement is part of an effort to bolster its regional energy secu- rity, according to Taro Han, a former official at Japan’s Trade Ministry who recently joined The Asia Group, a consulting firm. Even with its own substantial stockpiles, Japan remains deeply depen- dent on Southeast Asian supply chains for goods made with oil byproducts, includ- ing medical supplies. Just as the 1970s oil shocks transformed the global energy architecture — spur- ring 16 of the world’s largest economies to establish the International Energy Agency, which requires member states to hold a 90-day cush- ion of net oil imports — a similar structural shift is underway today. The question is whether, as electrification and renew- able energy proliferate, it is the right time for a wave of fast-growing, energy- hungry countries to commit hundreds of millions of dollars to amass fossil-fuel reserves. Over the past five decades, the maintenance and periodic deployment of these reserves have helped
of gas. The automaker says its solution is a less expensive way to supply backup power. Conventional, diesel-powered portable generators and full- home standby setups require expensive installation, costing several thousands of dollars. This solution, which also requires professional installa- tion at the meter, starts around $1,100. The setup only applies to about 200,000 vehicles so far, and it is also exclusively for outages. Ford also offers its Home Integration System for bi-directionality, sending power both from the vehi- cle to the home and from the home to the vehicle, while also being able to feed the grid. More than 630,000 U.S. vehicles already have this functionality, estimates say. South Korean auto brand Kia and Wallbox, an EV charging company, have teamed up so that drivers of eligible compatible vehicles
“UP is required to demon- strate that the benefits it claims can only be achieved through a merger. Its own agreement with CN shows the opposite. The benefits UP highlights can be pursued today without a merger, and significant portions of the arrangement are not even contingent on merger approval,” Andersen said.

stabilize global supply and prices. In March, the IEA set off the largest coordinated release in its history to help steady oil markets after the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East. Yet the release had a muted impact on econo- mies in Asia that are heav- ily dependent on Persian Gulf imports but don’t have national strategic reserves. In the Philippines, the first and most dramatic effects were felt by drivers who faced soaring fuel costs. “The impact on drivers’ incomes has been huge,” said Mody Floranda, the national president of Piston, a labor coalition represent- ing drivers of jeepneys — the flamboyant, chrome-plated utility vehicles that zigzag along the streets of Manila. Jeepney drivers charge a base fare of about 13 pesos, or 21 U.S. cents, to ferry passen- gers who hop onto the open backs of their vehicles. Floranda, 60, said that the daily wage needed to support a family of five in the Philip- pines was estimated to be around 1,200 pesos, or $20, but given the current fuel prices, a driver who works 12 to 18 hours a day takes home only about 400 to 600 pesos. “This is obviously not enough,” he said. In April, Piston filed a peti- tion to raise fares by 10 pesos per ride to reflect higher diesel prices. The group is awaiting offi-
can have home power backup during outages or during peri- ods of high demand, to cut their utility use. They can send power back to the grid. Tesla’s technology is simi- lar — allowing drivers of equipped vehicles to connect to their home using addi- tional Tesla hardware. The Cybertruck provides full vehi- cle-to-home capability, where other Tesla models can only connect to and power specific devices or appliances. General Motors is also in the energy space. A recent partnership with WeaveGrid allows home- owners who drive certain GM EVs — and have the auto- maker’s home system and a proper grid interconnection — to enroll in some grid reli- ability utility programs. Once an outage is detected, GM’s vehicle-to-home tech has the capability to disconnect one’s home from the grid and start supplying power from their GM EV.
Norfolk Southern CEO Mark George said that demand for rail shipping is up across much of the econ- omy. That started after the Iran war began. But he said that if gas prices remain high long enough, it could hurt the consumer and the growth in shipping volume that both NS and UP reported Thurs- day could reverse.
cial government approval. “Ten pesos does not affect income that much,” Floranda said. “It’s merely to survive the high price of oil.” The Philippine Institute for Development Studies, a state-run think tank, warned in a report in April that crude prices of around $105 a barrel could push more than 1.3 million Filipinos into poverty. Global oil prices rose above that level in the early stages of the war, and though they have recently traded lower, at around $90 a barrel, an uptick in fighting has incited renewed volatility. While the acute-phase supply panic appears to have subsided, the economic damage is lingering as higher fuel costs bleed through the economy, inflating the price of everything, including food. The Asian Develop- ment Bank expects rising commodity costs to drag down growth. In a report released this month, the bank lowered its growth forecast for developing economies in Asia and the Pacific to 4.9% in 2026, a slowdown from 5.5% growth in 2025. Recent ADB board meet- ings have been dominated by discussion about how best to support the Philippines and other developing Asian coun- tries vulnerable to oil-supply disruptions. Officials have debated whether to help countries build emergency stockpiles or accelerate the transition away from oil.
US military: Vessel attempting to cross blockade disabled

IRBIL, Iraq — Iran targeted American strong- holds around the Persian Gulf on Friday, while the U.S. bombarded Iranian military sites as the rivals showed no sign of backing away from their conflict after a 13th straight night of strikes. With fighting flaring again and diplomacy appearing to sputter, both sides made moves suggesting an escala- tion was possible. U.S. embassies in the Middle East began alert- ing Americans in the region that options to leave could become more limited, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard advised residents of neigh- boring countries to stay away from bases with U.S. troops. Vowing that Iran “will not bow to U.S.” bullying, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted ongo- ing discussions with two global powers often at odds with Americans — China and Russia — and warned in an interview with the semi- official news outlet Tasnim that the Islamic Republic is “neither intimidated by threats nor will we yield to pressure.” At the center of the fight is the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for world energy supplies that has been effectively shut down by Iranian attacks, sending fuel prices soaring and caus- ing widespread economic turmoil.

NABLUS, West Bank — Israel widely deployed troops in the West Bank after clashes broke out Friday across the occupied territory following the killing of an Israeli settler triggered violence that left two Israeli soldiers and four Palestinian villagers dead. Palestinians in the West Bank have been facing a wave of violence as Israel’s hard-line government, domi- nated by settler leaders and supporters, has overseen a surge in settlement construc- tion over the past four years. The international community considers Israeli settlement construction in these areas to be illegal and an obstacle to peace.

Two other Israelis and four more Palestinians were wounded, health officials said, and the Israeli military announced it was preparing for an “extensive” counter- terror operation in the West Bank. It said it was conduct- ing a manhunt for Palestin- ians suspected of attacking Israelis and that it had appre- hended two during a raid in Nablus. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a joint statement with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, called Friday for more troops to the West Bank and the razing of the homes of the accused in Tell, as well as collecting weapons and revoking work permits in the village. “The security forces must be allowed to act freely and with full force against terror- ism,” they said.

Repeated blasts echoed in Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s semiautonomous Kurdish region, and plumes of black smoke were seen near its airport, where U.S. forces are based. U.S. military officials did not respond to a request for comment on the apparent attacks. Meanwhile, Iran’s Revo- lutionary Guard said it had targeted the U.S. base in Udairi, Kuwait, setting ablaze and destroying three ammu- nition and storage sheds. It also claimed to have struck a watchtower for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain, which it said was

Millions of Palestinians are now completely exposed to further attacks, with no one protecting them.” The circumstances of Friday’s incident remained unclear, but Israeli media reports and interviews with local Palestinian offi- cials suggested a group of settlers entered Tell and were confronted by residents who were fearful of an attack.

According to the Israeli military, one of the villagers took one of the settlers’ weap- ons and fired on the group, killing Benayahu Mellet, 32, a security guard in a settle- ment nearby. In a video of the incident, circulated online by the mili- tary correspondent for Isra- el’s Army Radio, two armed men in civilian clothing, as well as one Israeli soldier, are shown pointing their weap- ons at Palestinians who had gathered in a field.

One was set to be presented to Victor Gonzales, the Secret Service agent who was staff- ing a security checkpoint in April and was struck in his
one of Iran’s nuclear sites. Additional strikes report- edly hit Iran’s southwest Khuzestan province and southern Fars province. Central Command said the latest barrage was designed to “further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels tran- siting regional waters” as the Americans push to reopen the strait. Iran’s ability to effec- tively close the strait — and cause economic chaos far beyond the Middle East — gives it tremendous leverage in negotiations. Its Houthi allies increased that lever- age when they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea on Thursday. The attacks made good on
several Palestinian residents with their guns drawn. In the footage, the residents try to push them back and appear to disarm one of the men before opening fire. In a statement, the Israeli military said it killed the man who took the settler’s weapon and that he was armed when soldiers shot him. But a separate video, published by Israeli media outlets, showed Israeli forces firing on a group of Palestinians in the same field who were on the ground. More than a dozen gunshots can be heard in the footage. The military said the suspect was one of the people killed in the field. It did not respond to questions about
protective vest. “Officer Gonzales … ran toward danger so that thou- sands of others could make it home safely,” Weijia Jiang, WHCA president, said in a statement. “His courage stemmed from a dedication to service, which we are look- ing forward to honoring this week.” A second award was to be presented to the staff of the Washington Hilton hotel, site of the first dinner. Jiang and her fellow board members worked
the Houthis’ threat to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to Saudi-linked shipping. The strait at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and around 12% of the world’s trade, includ- ing one-fourth of global container traffic, passes through there. The passage has become more crucial for Saudi Arabia, which has been forced to divert millions of barrels of oil a day to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump has threatened “major mili- tary punishment” against the Houthis if their attacks on ships continue. The price of Brent crude oil, the international stan- dard, dipped slightly Friday to about $96, but it is still up substantially from before the start of the war, when it was trading around $72 a barrel. Motorists in the U.S. saw gas prices tick up to an average of $4.11 a gallon, AAA said. Beyond the economic impact, the human toll was also apparent, with the Iranian Health Ministry reporting that 3,434 people have been killed since the war began. In other developments, the International Maritime Orga- nization said at least 6,000 mariners were stranded on about 400 vessels around the Strait of Hormuz. U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk called for “urgent action” to help them. His office said the seafarers are exposed to the fighting and some have been abandoned by their ships’ owners, leaving them to “fend for themselves with- out food, water, fuel, medical care, electricity or means to communicate with their families.”

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, a settler group in the northern West Bank, posted a video online in the wake of the Tell confrontation demanding the government crack down on Palestinians. “We demand an iron fist and for the government to carry out a wide military operation against the Pales- tinian Authority and against Hamas,” he said.

Clues emerge about how parasite slipped into US food supply
By Alice Callahan and Caroline Hopkins Legaspi THE NEW YORK TIMES
The hard, and nauseat- ing, truth about cyclospora is that it’s spread through human feces. Over decades of research, scientists have not found a single place aside from the human gut where the parasite grows. So now that we’re in the midst of the largest recorded outbreak in U.S. history, one has to ask: How did human excrement get into our food? As infections surge across much of the United States, public health investigators are working to figure out how this microscopic parasite contaminated the produce eaten by so many people. The case numbers — more than 6,000 people sickened in Michigan alone — suggest that human feces somehow got into our food system on a “surprising scale,” said Matthew Moore, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. An understanding of the parasite’s life cycle — and of what happened in previous outbreaks — offer clues about how it might have gotten there. Cyclospora infects the small intestine, causing frequent watery diarrhea that carries the parasite’s oocysts, or eggs. If those oocysts then contaminate produce — such as from a worker’s unwashed hands (alcohol-based hand sanitizer does not kill the parasite) or through water used to irrigate fruits or vege- tables — they can cause illness in a person who consumes the food days or weeks later. In a global food system, in which a lot of fresh produce is shipped across the world, inadequate hand-washing facilities or a leaky latrine on a single farm could sicken many people, even thousands of miles away.

wildfires rage in France, Spain
By Caroline Blumberg, Samuel Petrequin and Joseph Wilson ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARCACHON, France — Massive forest fires forced the evacuation of more than 200,000 people in south- western France and central Spain on Friday, with resi- dents fleeing towns near Madrid and Bordeaux as the flames raged out of control. Firefighters and authori- ties in both European coun- tries were caught off guard by the virulence of the fires, which were fueled by high temperatures and the long-term effects of climate change. Firefighters in Spain admitted the fires were so fast and violent that they could not be tackled head on. Some people even fled by boat when flames swept through the touristic area on France’s Atlantic coast. Some 141,000 fled homes in the Gironde and Landes departments in France, the French Interior Ministry said. In central Spain, 60,000 were forced from their homes, the Spanish Interior Ministry said. Dozens of French fire- fighters were injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either country despite the scenes of panic as townsfolk

Many of the standard tech- niques for disinfecting the water used in agriculture, including adding chlorine, are geared toward killing bacteria, not parasites, Moore said. This means that water that appears “clean” on a test might still contain cyclospora from human feces. For most cyclospora outbreaks that investigators have successfully solved, the source has turned out to be either the water used for irri- gation or the hygiene of the people harvesting the crops, said John Guzewich, who worked on foodborne disease outbreaks at the Food and Drug Administration from 1997 to 2011. Previous outbreaks have been linked to lettuce and salad mixes, raspberries, basil, cilantro, fruit mixes, snow peas and snap peas — all of which are often consumed raw. Cooking produce to at least 158 degrees kills the parasite. Researchers have found that cyclospora oocysts are particularly “sticky,” clinging to certain types of produce
fled by car and police went door to door to tell people to leave as large plumes of smoke rose from the neigh- boring woodlands. France’s Interior Minis- ter Laurent Nunez said that the large wildfire that ravaged large swaths of land in southwestern France is now heading toward the city of Bordeaux. Speaking to French TV channel Tf1, Nunez said the wildfire that earlier in the day forced the evacuation of the Cap Ferret peninsula had swept across 54 square miles, with 110,000 people fleeing their homes in the Gironde region. “We learned in the middle of the afternoon that, follow- ing the wind shift, it had become a large, self-sus- taining fire that is extremely difficult to bring under control,” Nunez said. “It is now moving east, toward the Bordeaux metropolitan area. We are going to reorga- nize our response so we can fight it from the ground and prevent it from advancing toward Bordeaux.” Meanwhile, French Pres- ident Emmanuel Macron has asked the Prime Minis- ter Sebastien Lecornu to activate the government’s crisis response unit, and has instructed the armed forces to mobilize in order
more than other microbes do. That’s especially true of foods like raspberries and cilantro, which have tiny hairs that can harbor the parasite, said Kalmia Kniel, a microbiologist at the Univer- sity of Delaware who studies cyclospora. This also helps to explain why rinsing herbs or berries with water at home is not entirely effective at remov- ing the oocysts. Several cyclospora outbreaks linked to rasp- berries in the late 1990s illustrated one way the para- site can contaminate fresh produce, said Melvin Kramer, a public health researcher who worked in several state and local public health departments before found- ing a food safety consulting group. In 1996, after collect- ing detailed food histories from people sickened with cyclospora, investigators traced the illnesses to rasp- berries from a few farms in Guatemala. There, inves- tigators determined it was likely that the insecticides
to provide the maximum possible reinforcement to the civilian emergency services. Asked whether Bordeaux is under threat, Nunez said: “For the time being, no. We will, of course, do everything we can to protect it using ground resources, including requisitioned military assets and our firefighters.” The most devastat- ing French blaze started on Wednesday near Cap Ferret on France’s Atlantic coast, located 37 miles from Bordeaux. Local authorities in the Gironde department said 53 homes and a campsite were destroyed, adding that 42 firefighters were injured. Around 1,500 people who fled the peninsula arrived by sea in the city of Arcachon, some aboard small water taxis and others on larger boats. “It’s quite impressive and even frightening,” said Laurent Moretti, a resident in the town of Arès. “An evac- uation on this scale has never happened before.” A separate wildfire broke out in Landes, causing 31,000 evacuations. Authorities believe the cause of both of fires in France were acciden- tal. More than 20,000 people had already been evacuated from towns and vacation resorts Thursday, but that number soared Friday.
and fungicides sprayed onto the berries had been mixed with contaminated water. The farms had sourced the water from wells or a nearby river, both of which were vulnerable to runoff from latrines, especially during the rainy season. Although the water was filtered, the filter removed only debris, not microbes like cyclospora. Before this year, the larg- est outbreak in the United States in recent history occurred in the summer of 2020, sickening 701 people in 14 states and hospitalizing 38. Federal officials linked it to Fresh Express bagged salads containing iceberg lettuce, red cabbage and carrots. They traced at least some of that produce to a farm in South Florida and detected cyclospora in a nearby water canal that had been used to irrigate crops on the farm. Later, genetic analysis confirmed that the cyclo- spora found in the canal water matched that found in people sickened in the outbreak, said Frank Yian- nas, who was a top official at
at defense event outside Kyiv
By Illia Novikov ASSOCIATED PRESS
KYIV, Ukraine — A Russian attack Friday on a site near Kyiv that was host- ing a defense industry event killed at least 10 people and wounded nearly 100 others, Ukrainian government and industry officials said. The ballistic missile strike came a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelen- skyy met in Kyiv with senior representatives of Raytheon, the U.S. company that makes the Patriot air defense systems that Ukraine desper- ately needs to counter the devastating ballistic missiles Russia uses to advance its invasion. Raytheon didn’t immediately respond to an email inquiring whether any of its workers were at the event. “Missiles for Patriot systems are the number one priority,” Zelenskyy said on social media, where he reported the attack. The attack hit the grounds of a privately operated mili- tary training site that was hosting an event, acting regional military adminis- tration head Ruslan Oliinyk wrote on Facebook, citing preliminary information. The site is about 12 to 19 miles from central Kyiv, in the Bucha district. Emergency crews responded to the area, where 27 homes and 44 vehicles also were damaged, Oliinyk said. The Ukrainian Defense Industry Council, which describes itself as the coun- try’s largest association of private defense manufactur- ers, said industry represen- tatives were at the site when it was hit. Ruslan Kravchenko, the country’s prosecutor general, opened a war crimes inves- tigation into the attack and a separate criminal case over possible negligence in orga- nizing the event. Investigators will exam- ine who approved its loca- tion, timing and format,
the FDA from 2018 to 2023. That was the only cyclo- spora outbreak occurring during his tenure for which investigators were able to find the source of contami- nation, Yiannas said. “It’s very rare for FDA to be able to point with specific- ity to the sources of contam- ination, whether it’s a farm, a field or a ranch.” And, he added, it’s even rarer for investigators to figure out how the produce was contaminated in the first place. But, he said, tainted irriga- tion water is the most likely route of contamination for most large cyclospora outbreaks. Given the size of the current outbreak, Kniel said, it is unlikely that a single sick person who didn’t wash his or her hands properly before harvesting produce could have caused such widespread illness. Instead, the parasite might have spread to multiple farm- workers, causing many to shed oocysts in their waste. Then, a leak in a septic system

and whether adequate precautions were taken, Kravchenko said. The Ukrainian govern- ment imposed reporting restrictions on the attack. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian attack on a military plant in Russia killed six people and wounded 26 others, the regional governor said. The Raytheon meeting came less than three weeks after President Donald Trump vowed to give Ukraine a license to produce Patriots. The pledge marked an important shift, as Trump recently adopted a more positive tone toward Zelenskyy. In another sign that Ukraine is changing minds in Washington, ardent Trump ally Laura Loomer met with Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Thursday. After years of minimizing the invasion, she rebuked Russian President Vladimir Putin for missile attacks on Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader said late Thursday that he held talks with a Raytheon delegation, adding that the company was ready to jointly produce Patriot interceptors with Ukraine. The system is made up of radars, command-and-con- trol systems, and different types of interceptor missiles. “Our teams — both at the government level and from the private sector — will
or heavy rainfall might have somehow allowed human waste to seep into water that was used to irrigate crops. The same type of contami- nation could also affect water used to wash fresh produce or could be spread on harvesting or processing equipment. “You’d have to have a lot of produce being irri- gated with a lot of water that was contaminated by a lot of cyclospora to see this number of cases,” said Keith R. Schneider, a professor of food safety at the University of Florida. Chopped and bagged lettuce is particularly vulnerable to contamination, Kniel said, because many heads of lettuce from multiple fields may mingle before processing. If federal investigators want to find the cause of the current outbreak, Yiannas said, they will need to “get out there and sample the heck out of the environment.” Other- wise, he added, “they’re not going to be able to determine it.” That degree of sampling — as with the rest of the steps in the cyclospora investigation — requires resources, expertise and time. “Some people think that outbreak investigations can be solved in 50 minutes just like murder mysteries in TV detective shows,” Guze- wich said. “I would love if it happened that way.” Experts also say it’s plau- sible that warming could contribute to an increase in cyclospora illnesses. Don Schaffner, a food microbiol- ogist at Rutgers University, said cyclospora tends to grow in the spring and summer, so higher temperatures could extend its season. Whether this outbreak was directly linked to climate change, we know that warm- ing is expected to fuel the spread of a wide variety of food-borne pathogens. That’s the case in part because bacteria such as salmonella and campylo- bacter can multiply faster in hotter weather.
stay in close touch to work (it) out,” Zelenskyy said on social media. Zelenskyy is keen to move quickly on a co-production agreement as Russia relent- lessly fires ballistic missiles that are hard to stop and cause civilian casualties as well as inflicting huge damage on civilian areas. Zelenskyy has for several years been pleading for more and quicker Patriot deliveries from Western partners. Ukraine has developed its own innovative air defenses, but large-scale production is vital. Even so, experts and Kyiv officials have cautioned that setting up production in Ukraine would likely take years. When the Trump admin- istration engaged in a diplo- matic effort to end the war last year, Putin portrayed Russia as negotiating from a position of strength. The peace efforts have produced no results so far. But since first attacking its neighbor in 2014, Russia has captured only around 20% of the country. Now, the Russian army’s advance is stalling due to Ukraine’s successful front- line and mid- and long-range attacks using cutting-edge drone technology it has developed at home and that is now coveted by other countries, Western officials and analysts say.
Line originally seen as only temporary division of territory
By Lee Keath and Julia Frankel ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — The Israeli mili- tary is quietly but quickly building a giant earthen barrier separating the over 50% of the Gaza Strip it controls from the rest of the territory, according to satellite imagery, further entrenching the division of the tiny Palestinian enclave. More than 14 miles have been constructed in recent months, running through Palestinian communities demolished by the military. That is equivalent to more than half the length of the coastal strip, which is some 25 miles long and 7 miles wide, and home to over 2 million Palestinians. When presented with the satellite images, Israel’s military confirmed to The Associated Press it has built a physical barrier in the area of the so-called yellow line, the boundary to which Israeli troops withdrew under the October ceasefire deal with Hamas. The line was envi- sioned in the U.S.-backed agreement as a temporary division of the territory pending a fuller Israeli with- drawal. But as the truce stagnates, it appears Israel is digging in, heightening Palestinian fears that the line is morph- ing into a border. Neither U.S. Central Command, which is tasked with monitoring the ceasefire, nor the Board of Peace, the body led by Pres- ident Donald Trump meant to eventually oversee Gaza, would comment on the barrier. Along with the barrier, the military told the AP it has developed a “security zone” around the line, equipped with intelligence and techno- logical assets. It declined to give details on the route of the barrier when asked how far it would be extended. It said
Dem committee picks South Carolina to start 2028 primary calendar
FROM NEWS SERVICES
WASHINGTON — South Carolina was selected Friday to once again lead off the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominat- ing schedule, most likely cementing a dramatic break from decades of tradition by keeping Iowa off the top of the calendar and elevating more racially diverse states. The decision by the Demo- cratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee will need to be approved by the full organization, which is scheduled to meet in August. South Carolina or Nevada had been expected to go first, with each state aggressively campaigning for the coveted spot. President Joe Biden successfully pushed to move South Carolina to the front of Democrats’ 2024 calen- dar after the state revived his struggling 2020 presidential campaign. South Carolina has long been the first South- ern contest and has served as a key test of candidates’ support among Black voters. Jaime Harrison, a former DNC chair in attendance Friday, told Associated Press after the vote that keeping his home state first on Democrats’ nominating calendar signaled to Black voters the value they bring to the party, especially after a Supreme Court decision aimed at weakening their voting power. “I think we needed a strong statement to say to the most loyal members of our party, which are Black voters, that we’re going to stand up with you,” said Harrison, who also chaired South Carolina’s Democratic Party. “It was just really important for us to stand up and say, ‘We see you, we hear you, but most impor- tantly, we’re gonna fight like hell for you. And your voices are important.’” Democratic leaders in a handful of southern states

the barrier aimed to prevent infiltration and protect Israeli troops and Israeli communi- ties near Gaza. Since the ceasefire deal took hold, Palestinians in Gaza have feared Israel would not return the area of Gaza it controls. But few appear to be aware of the berms now being built around them — because of the danger of even approaching that area. A portion of the berm network in southern Gaza was extended by more than 1.2 miles in two weeks this month, according to the satellite images provided by Planet Labs PBC. The berm was about 0.3 miles long July 1. By July 15, it was about 1.5 miles, splic- ing the Israel-controlled ruins of the city of Rafah from Muwasi, site of some of the largest Palestinian tent camps. If construction contin-
had lobbied for South Caro- lina to reprise its role as the party’s first-in-the-nation contest holder, arguing in a letter to the DNC that the state best represents the initial playing field for pres- idential candidates to build the coalitions needed to win and serves as “a moral and political compass for our party and our nation.” The overhaul reflects Democrats’ effort to give greater influence to states that better mirror the party’s diverse coalition, particularly Black and Latino voters, after years of a calendar led by Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with overwhelm- ingly white electorates.
Cyclospora outbreak: Federal health officials on Friday expanded the scope of their investigation into an outbreak of a diarrhea-causing para- site to four additional states, broadening the size of the largest U.S. outbreak of cyclo- spora. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the outbreak first tied to shredded lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants now includes Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania. Previously the agency’s investigation included five states: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. The number of cases linked to the lettuce is now 1,947, including at least 98 people who had to be hospi- talized. There have been no deaths, the agency reported on its website.

Construction began on that stretch in February, and it appears work to extend it further south is continuing, according to the satellite images. More than a 0.5 miles was added between June 21 and July 7, running close to an Israeli military base built on the ruins of the town of Bani Suheila, near Khan Younis. In the far north of Gaza, several unconnected stretches of berms run just outside the largely leveled town of Beit Lahia. The height of the berms in each place remains unclear. In some places, the barriers appear to run outside the yellow line. Gaza’s population has been

Another person had been left for dead near the tracks in San Antonio, accord- ing to the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, Justin R. Simmons. The group boarded the train in the Texas border town of Del Rio intending to reach San Antonio, but when smugglers there opened the door, a man fell out, so they closed it and fled, Simmons said. The next day the train departed for Laredo, where a worker at the Union Pacific Rail Yard saw a leg sticking out and found the other six bodies inside. “One of those individuals frantically contacted their family as they were dying from the sweltering heat in that container,” Simmons said.

On the other side of the line, satellite imagery shows that Israeli forces have leveled the vast majority of buildings using bulldozers and explosives, virtually eras- ing several towns and Rafah, once home to more than a quarter million people. They have carved new road networks and erected new bases on the ruins of Palestinian towns. Agri- cultural land has also been destroyed. The Israeli mili- tary says it is demolish- ing infrastructure used by Hamas.

The Israeli military says it fires on those believed to be militants threatening its troops. But those killed have included children and other civilians seemingly unaware of the line. Some soldiers have said they don’t always know who they are firing on and have orders to kill anyone cross- ing the boundary. Israeli forces have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians since the ceasefire began, most in airstrikes and drone strikes around Gaza. Militant attacks have killed five Israeli soldiers in the same period.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed July 7, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers chased his white work van through the streets, then shot him through the window in front of his work crew, including his brother. Salgado Araujo’s sons read from prepared remarks at a Houston hearing with Democratic members of Congress. The sons’ voices often choked with emotion as they described their father as a humble and hardwork- ing family man. He had lived without legal status in the U.S. for 35 years, ran a home- building business and had never been in trouble with the law.

irony, sincerity with religion in content
By Krysta Fauria ASSOCIATED PRESS
Indie musician Alex Cameron is known for his transgressive lyrics. So when he started singing passionately about Jesus during his concert in a trendy Los Ange- les neighborhood, the crowd seemed unsure if he expected them to laugh or worship. “Jesus never had no porno / Jesus never had cocaine / Jesus never had Ibiza / He never even went to Spain,” the Australian singer-songwriter crooned, prompting sporadic chuckles across the venue. This mix of the absurd and sincere reflects a kind of artis- tic engagement with existential questions that is increasingly resonating with people, many of whom are disconnected from organized religion. Some scholars even have a name for it: “reverent irreverence.” When Cameron reached the chorus, the laughter stopped. “But every time he spoke / The people gathered round / When he washed their feet / The demons all came out / So when’s he gonna come again?” he sang over a wist- ful electric guitar. Funny to some, potentially offensive to others, there’s a

Tori Kelly has a lot on her plate these days. For starters, the multitalented singer-songwriter- guitarist dropped her sixth studio album — “God Must Really Love Me” — in June. The three-time Grammy winner has also hit the road as the main support on Forrest Frank’s blockbuster the Jesus Generation Tour. More significant than all of that, however, is that this former “American Idol” contestant is enjoying life as a new mom, having welcomed her first child — a son, Zayden Michael Murillo — in November. Kelly, who might be best known to fans of family programming for voicing Meena the elephant in the “Sing” animated films, says her tour and new album have been greatly impacted and influenced by the arrival of Zayden.

palpable earnestness to “Jesus Never Had No Porno” and other Cameron songs invoking similar themes. “You’ve been disarmed with laughter. Now you’re kind of open to anything. You’re open to profound sadness or hope,” Cameron said in an interview ahead of his album, “Late to Set,” out now. “That’s my entire life. It’s serious, but it’s funny.” This phenomenon of irony collapsing into sincerity is being interpreted by some as a way for younger generations to grapple with ritual, meaning and authen- ticity, even as participation in organized religion in the U.S. has dropped dramatically in recent decades. “Religion is understood as a source of power, whether or not you believe in it,” said Kathryn Lofton, who studies religion and pop culture at Yale University. As the world feels increasingly chaotic and stripped of moral boundaries, Lofton is seeing more skeptics seeking out sacred settings where they can experi- ence transcendence and commu- nity. Despite the rise of people unaf- filiated with an organized religion — called “nones” — it remains a creative touchstone. Its enduring usefulness as a shared language extends to the upper echelons of popular culture, from Beyoncé’s engagement with Yorùbá religion and other African diasporic spir- ituality, to Rosalía’s 2025 concept

album, “Lux,” inspired by Catholi- cism, female saints and mysticism. These themes are not siloed to overtly evangelistic channels, like contemporary Christian radio. But when religion is invoked by comedians or artists whose work is assumed to be funny, it can have a distinct appeal to people who see themselves as impervious to the cultural and political associa- tions with traditional faiths. “Someone who is playing with it, is humorous about it, has a sense of irony — it’s a way for them to engage these kinds of questions and at the same time retain plausible deniability that they really are interested in reli- gion,” said Leigh Eric Schmidt, a professor at Washington Univer- sity in St. Louis. Throughout Nathan Field- er’s HBO docuseries, “The Rehearsal,” religion is a recur- ring theme as he explores ideas surrounding interfaith relation- ships, antisemitism, forgiveness and numerology. “I was raised Jewish, and I still do all the holidays and stuff,” he narrates in one episode, adding he “hadn’t been to synagogue in years because it’s so boring.” For some fans, ambiguity is what attracts them to Fielder’s humor. “You never know if he’s serious or not,” said Shelah Marie, 41, a wellness influencer from Atlanta. “There’s an increasing level of disassociation that we have to feel in order to maintain sanity.

It is psychotic, the amount of information that we receive,” she said. “Maybe being absurd is our protection.” Cameron Winter, the front- man of the rock band Geese, blurs these lines in his debut solo album “Heavy Metal.” “God is real, God is real / I’m not kidding, God is actually real,” he belts. Though saying one is “not kidding” may invite skepticism, his commanding voice carries such gravity that it’s hard to dismiss his proclamation as mere sarcasm. “It’s a fine line,” said Schmidt, who co-organized a series of lectures in 2024 titled “Reverent Irreverence: Parody, Religion, and Contemporary Politics.” “You’re not going to convince people that you’re not just making fun of them sometimes.” One of those talks was on the Church of Stop Shopping, led by director Savitri D and the charac- ter of the Reverend Billy, played by actor and playwright William Talen. As this anti-consumerist collec- tive satirizes tropes surrounding conservative Protestant denom- inations, “irony gives way to an articulation of communal values that are sincerely held,” said sociologist George González, who wrote a book on the group. In a testament to that sincerity, Neil Young had the Stop Shopping Choir open for him on his 2024 tour. “We’re an adopted church for

A: I’d say there’s sort of an over- arching theme of just gratitude and peace and love, and there are these kind of bigger themes as like the umbrella for the album — hence, you know, the title, “God Must Really Love Me.” I think everything kind of stems from that title, which is why I wanted to call it that.
Q: You express your feelings of love and thankfulness in a variety of different ways — utilizing acoustic pop, R&B, soul, gospel and more. A: When I think of music and just different genres, you know, I’ve done a gospel project before and I’ve done pop music and I’ve kind of done these different genres. And I think this is the first time where I said, “You know what? I don’t really want to choose a genre. I want everything to live
lots of post- religious people,” said Talen, reflecting on what it means to be “seriously full of God at the same time that you’re seriously full of (it).” Christian theologian Harvey Cox wrote in the 1960s about how effectively humor can be used to attract people to church, noting that when society’s icons are used “to say something different in an ironical manner, we heap nuance upon nuance and combine satire, hope and playfulness.” Now these artists are exploring the relationship between humor and faith with audiences that are feeling the impact of artifi- cial intelligence on creativity and culture. “We can no longer tell surface from depth and treasure from knockoff,” González said. “Is my art real or did an algorithm produce it?” Cameron is acutely aware of this tension, joking that humans are on track to exist solely in the service of tech companies. “Aren’t we all just eventually going to be in gestating pods where they fill up every orifice with a way to extract experience out of us?” But that anxiety has coincided with a search for transcendence. Although he didn’t grow up going to church, Cameron has tried to make a habit of it as an adult. “Just to try and ground myself in something ritualistic,” he said. “Magic is real and God is real, and you know those things are pretty widely accepted, I think.”
in one album because that’s who I am. My faith is a part of every aspect in my life. So instead of choosing one lane, let me just speak from the heart and see what comes out. And this is what came out.
Q: What’s the experience been like of touring as a new mom? A: I can’t even fathom being away from him, you know? It’s just such a special bond to be able to have (Zayden) on the road while I’m still in work mode, but then also able to be a mom. I’m still kind of figuring out, of course, how it all works. I’m not claiming to be an expert at all because it’s all very new for me. But all I can say is that it has been such a joy and really just awesome to see it all kind of working together and not having to worry about how do I balance these two things. I have to give a shout-out to my husband (André Murillo) too, because I don’t think I’d be able to do it without his support. He’s just been so supportive from Day 1 and just like locking in on dad mode, and it’s been cool. We’re very much teammates in this, so it’s been really awesome for our relationship, too.

‘Twilight’ cast convenes at Comic-Con
By Javier Arciga ASSOCIATED PRESS
Johnny Depp scolded Comic-Con International attendees in character as Ebenezer Scrooge as the nation’s biggest pop culture convention opened Thurs- day. “Do you have jobs? It seems as though you have so much spare time. Why are you here?” said the actor, clad in an overcoat and top hat as he emerged from a faux snow-lined downtown San Diego storefront marked with a “Scrooge and Marley” sign. A crowd gathered, record- ing on cellphones and call- ing out “Merry Christmas!” “I can only say you’re all very, very strange people. Humbug!” Depp called out gruffly, shuffling back inside the building. “Ebenezer,” set for release Nov. 13, is the star’s first studio film in eight years. His appearance on the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter — outside any offi- cial panels — fits the more guerrilla-style approach to marketing and promo- tion that some Hollywood studios have taken at the expo in recent years. More than 120,000 people are expected at the four- day convention, which began in 1970 with a gather- ing of sci-fi and comics fans
Band builds gorgeous walls of sound
By Jem Aswad VARIETY
On a recent late night, a mechanical noise on the floor below my hotel room was keeping me awake — a muffled, wheezing, grind- ing sound like a garbage truck that would rev for a few minutes and then stop for a few more before resuming, vibrating the floor just enough to be supremely irritating. It had been going on for hours; if it had been constant I could have gotten used to it, but the maddening start-stop made relaxing impossible and rendered white noise ineffective (I tried that). It was too late at night to change rooms, and I had a long day ahead. Suddenly, I hit upon a solution: I cued up a stream of the new Sunn O))) album on my laptop — a kind of heavy metal ambient music, to give it a reductive but basically accurate descrip- tion. I slept happily for the rest of the night. It was a completely counterintuitive solution: Why would an hour-plus of crushing, distorted electric guitar chords and feed- back be so beautiful and calming, let alone so lulling that one could sleep to it — especially for a person who never sleeps with music on? “Sunn O))),” the epon- ymous, 20-somethingth album from the long- running Seattle duo Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley, could be catego- rized as jazz or classical or avant-garde much more readily than rock, even though its only instrument is that most rock of objects: electric guitars. There’s no percussion, vocals or seemingly any single notes; there’s song structure (or at least compositions), but you’d be hard pressed to identify it. It’s just massive power chords and feed- back, droning and shifting into different shapes in a way that recalls a randomly generating video image, or Mark Rothko paint-
and an appearance from Marvel icon Jack Kirby. The K-pop group Enhypen joined Cath- erine Hardwicke, direc- tor of the first “Twilight” film, and franchise actors Peter Facinelli and Ashley Greene at a Thursday panel about vampire storytell- ing. It marked one of many moments of cross-pop culture exchanges. Comic-Con has grown to include cosplay contests, autograph booths, obsta- cle courses, concerts and panels covering every- thing from video games to movie poster art and fencing. Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and “Ghosts” actor Asher Grodman were discussing “Hollywood’s Love Affair With Fencing” on Thursday. The Avengers appear set to return to Hall H as Marvel Studios uses Comic-Con to build hype for the December release of “Avengers: Doomsday” — and chart a path forward as audience interest in superhero films has waned. That panel Saturday was the most- anticipated hour of the nation’s biggest pop culture convention, which runs through Sunday. DC Studios was set to showcase its HBO series “Lanterns” with a “training headquarters” activation in San Diego’s Gaslamp

ings, like the one on this album’s cover. When you sit and stare at one of Roth- ko’s massive paintings in a museum for several minutes, it feels and seems like it’s moving. While that’s not a direct anal- ogy, it’s what this album feels like. You can almost forget it’s on, as hard as it is to imagine being able to ignore 80 minutes of loud, droning guitars. Why does it work in this way? The difference with Sunn O))) is that the band’s not demanding your atten- tion — despite the aggres- sion and volume, there’s little attack in it. You just roll with the chords like waves in the middle of the ocean. Although the album is self- titled, Sunn O))) have been at this for more than 25 years, inspired by geographically distant but spiritually complementary ’90s outfits like Seattle’s
Quarter and a panel featuring stars Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler. That presentation, like Marvel’s, was to be held in the 6,500-person premier showcase: Hall H. Lives- treams aren’t allowed inside but online reaction from fans in attendance can swiftly lift — or doom — a film or TV show’s pros- pects. Another TV highlight: Actors from “Widow’s Bay” were expected to pay a visit to the bayside convention center Saturday as Apple TV celebrates the comedy- horror series’ 19 Emmy nominations. Comedy fans didn’t need to comb the desert to find updates on “Spaceballs: The New One,” the focus of a Friday panel. The film set for release next year features Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman and Mel Brooks reprising their roles from Brooks’ 1987 parody.
July 25 birthdays: Singer Bruce Woodley is 84. Bass- ist Verdine White is 75. Supermodel Iman is 71. Actor Illeana Douglas is 65. Singer Marty Brown is 61. Actor Matt LeBlanc is 59.

Earth and the British post- grindcore unit Godflesh — b oth duos, both slow- paced bands that occasionally found conventional songs and chord progressions (i.e. riffs) unnecessary. Their approach is both tongue-in-cheek and dead serious: Anderson and O’Malley perform before towering stacks of vintage amplifiers amid dense clouds of dry ice while wearing monks’ habits with hoods, yet they also say there are “hundreds” of guitar overdubs on this album. Both musi- cians started out in hard- core bands in the late ’80s and formed Sunn O))) in 1998, but have played with dozens of other acts in multiple heavy genres, ranging from doom to death metal to traditional hard rock; Anderson co-founded the influential metal label Southern Lord. Their discographies combined span around two dozen different artist names (or collaborations) and nearly a hundred different releases. While this album is certainly one of their best, it’s hard to say why the group’s moment seems to be happening now, after all these years. Maybe it’s just the state of the world — there’s so much ugly noise that the only way to shut it out is with louder, beautiful noise.
working from home wastes time
R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC
Dear Eric: About two years ago, my husband was “invited” to resign his managerial position at a local company. This followed two less-than- great performance reviews which he claimed were the result of not getting along with his boss. Fortunately, he was able to find another comparable full-time position quickly. He says he likes his job. His new position is a hybrid position and since I work fully remotely, our at-home days overlap. I’ve noticed he probably puts in five hours on those days. I see him running personal errands, taking long lunches, playing video games and doing home chores throughout the workday. I had previously thought he had a strong work ethic and admired him for that. Now, seeing this behavior, I’ve lost quite a bit of respect for him. I’m not sure how and if I should broach the subject. I considered this on par with stealing. I’m not his boss, but I am worried about him losing his job. We’re older, but we have about five years to work before retirement is an option. I’m stressed in addi- tion to being disappointed in his lack of work ethic. — Co-worker Spouse
Dear Spouse: While he may not be sitting in front of the computer all day long, it certainly seems like your husband is fairly industri- ous and good about filling his days. So, it’s possible that the job doesn’t take all eight hours of the workday to complete. Without being inside his company, it’s hard to tell if this is an issue for his boss.

Maybe he has found a good fit where the culture is centered on getting the job done rather than perform- ing productivity. Obviously, this is all conjecture. I can’t say for sure. But there can be something strange that happens when you see a partner in their work envi- ronment, and it’s not always about the work so much as it is about the jarring differ- ence of context. His work ethic notwith- standing, the issue between the two of you is easier to address. You’re still stinging from his soft-firing two years ago and you, rightfully, have anxieties about retirement and your financial stability. So, start by talking about those feelings, using your new co-working setup as a jumping off point. Tell him that you trust him (if you do) but that it has been hard seeing him spend time during the workday doing other things. Tell him that it has brought up anxieties about your future. Use “I” statements as much as you can, so this doesn’t sound like a performance review. Ask him if he understands where you’re coming from and if there are things that he can do or say to help you feel better about your plan for the next five years and beyond.
Dear Eric: My 43-year- old sister is completely obsessed with Halloween. Her condo is fully deco- rated year-round with scary animatronics, she wears Halloween knee socks and shirts every single day, and horror movies are her only topic of conversation. Our concern grew recently when she wore full Halloween apparel to her nephews’ fourth and second birthday parties. She even brought a Michael Myers purse, which we felt was highly inappro- priate and frightening for toddlers. She seems completely

unable to turn the theme “off,” even for major family milestones that focus on young children. When our family gently tried to talk to her about this lifestyle, she got incred- ibly defensive, started crying and said nobody likes who she is or lets her be herself. It breaks my heart to see her hurt, but extended family and outsid- ers frequently judge her and think she is “weird.” I love my sister and don’t want her to feel isolated. Do we just let her be herself and ignore the critics, or is this extreme obsession a sign of a deeper issue we should address? How do I support her without push- ing her away? — Pumpkin Spice Sibling
Dear Sibling: The Michael Myers purse notwithstand- ing, your sister’s interest in Halloween doesn’t seem to be hurting anyone. You can just live and let live here. She likely knows that others think she’s weird. But by dressing the way she does, she’s showing it’s more important for her to express herself than to give into societal pressure. Other people’s judgments ultimately aren’t worth much. So, if she’s not letting them get to her, it doesn’t make sense for her immedi- ate family to keep bringing them up and making them an issue. If she was obsessed with “Life is Good” apparel or Christmas sweaters or some other kind of attire, her appearance and choices might go over more smoothly with the general public. But there’s no harm in liking what you like. While her choices wouldn’t be yours, try to be grateful that she’s confident enough to be herself in front of you.

drama series is adding to its pit crew. Deadline recently reported that Matt Barr is joining the show “Thun- der Road.” The series also stars Dennis Quaid, Chase Stokes, Michael Rooker and Maggie Grace. Barr is playing Quaid’s character’s oldest son Calvin Whitlock. Deadline describes Calvin as an “attractive and ambitious man who’s been driven out of the business of auto racing for good and doesn’t like to be reminded of it.” Calvin is now a busi- nessman who owns a bar. “(‘Thunder Road’) follows the multi- gener- ational saga of the Whit- lock family, whose legacy in stock car racing inter- twines with their southern hill country roots, featuring family dynamics and fierce rivalries in the world of NASCAR,” according to the show’s logline. If the Barr name sounds familiar, that’s because he has been acting for more than 20 years, appearing in “One Tree Hill,” “Sleepy Hollow,” “The Layover” and “Hatfields & McCoys,” among other projects. In 2021, Barr landed a role in “Walker,” a reimag- ining of “Walker, Texas Ranger,” as lovable outlaw Hoyt Rawlins. Ultimately, Barr appeared in four episodes of “Walker” before his character met an untimely demise. However, just a year later, Barr revived his role as a descendant of Hoyt on the late-1800s set “Walker: Independence,” which itself is a prequel to “Walker.” “Thunder Road” will release sometime in 2027.

It’s another in a string of successes from the Fort Worth, Texas, creative behind “Yellowstone,” “Dutton Ranch” and “Landman.” CIA operative Joe McNamara (Saldaña) continued the fight against terrorism in Season 2. A close call in the finale forced her to contend with the balancing act between her work and her personal life as a wife and mother. In Season 3, Joe will lean on Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and CIA Deputy Director Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) to navi- gate a “world where hidden networks, foreign opera- tives and personal betrayals collide.” Saldaña and Kidman also executive produced the show along with Sheridan. Morgan Freeman will also return as U.S. Secretary of State Edwin Mullins and Kelly as Westfield. Seasons 1 and 2 of “Lion- ess” are streaming on Para- mount +.

If July 25 is your birthday: Much of 2026 may have been about surviving rather than thriving, the remainder of the year could help you thrive. What’s left of July could bring protection, benevolence and the meeting of many needs, if not every want. Aries (March 21-April 19): This could be a good period for you, growth and protection should be facilitated and overall your spirit could feel a little lighter. Research something you want to heal, you might find helpful answers now. Taurus (April 20-May 20): The more that you set up your life to support you, the more you can achieve. To the extent that you can, make your home both a sanctuary from life and a charging station for the next round. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Partners may need to move past some resistance to get to a deeper connection. Don’t force anything, that’s guaranteed to increase the block. Cancer (June 21-July 22): Keep building your abundance, your own efforts are important for making the difference now and they don’t need to be extreme. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Gains are possible for the next month — unfortunately including weight gain — but your body isn’t the only thing that can grow. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pivotal inner improvements can turn your life around, make the investment into your own self so you can stop self-sabotage and achieve your dreams. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Grow your circle of community; when members are committed to mutual benefit, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Though today’s day score is de- cent, it still might be best to stand down for today and revisit the situation later. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be sure you’re not just resist- ing out of habit, be sure there’s a real reason for it in the here and now. What you’re pushing back against could possibly be something wonderful if you give it a chance. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It can be hard to face the hard stuff until you see how much it can change every part of your life for the better. Carrying baggage makes it hard or impos- sible to soar. Release what holds you back. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Achieve addition by subtraction by letting go of old limitations and beliefs around love and relationships. A lot of the old rules aren’t sustainable and don’t provide a foundation for happiness. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Water flows between rocks, it’s one reason Lao Tzu said the best person is like water. Be like water today, find your opportunities between obstacles.

Presidential surprise
at new center in Chicago: ‘I could not be a bigger fan’
By Julia Poe and Colleen Kane CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Former President Barack Obama surprised the players and coaches of the WNBA All-Star team Friday morning during a practice at the Obama Presidential Center. The team — which includes A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark — was scheduled to prac- tice at the Home Court on the campus of the Obama Center ahead of Saturday’s All-Star Game at the United Center. Before practice began, Obama stepped onto the court to greet players and congratulate the league on its continued growth. “All of you are extraordinary, and I could not be a bigger fan,” Obama said. “The way that the game has been going lately, the way it’s been picking up … I think it’s been some- thing for basketball fans generally be excited to see. It’s been making me happy.” The All-Star practice marked the first time that the Obama Center courts have been used for a full-scale basketball event. Obama also dropped in to speak at other WNBA All-Star events Friday on the campus, including a Changemaker Day session focused on community impact. Wilson mentioned she collaborated on an ad with one of Obama’s daughters, while
Kane brushes off nostalgia of his return
By Kalen Lumpkins CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Even though Patrick Kane started his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, his reintroductory news conference Friday might have felt weird. Yes, he helped the Hawks win three Stan- ley Cup championships in his first stint with the team, but three years away could have added uncertainty to the day. As Kane walked into the Blackhawks Ice Center media room with general manager Kyle Davidson, he greeted reporters, noting “some familiar faces.” Kane’s longtime girl- friend, Amanda Grahovec, and their 5-year- old son, Patrick Kane III, preceded him, sitting in the front row with grins on both their faces.

former Chicago Sky forward and current Atlanta Dream All-Star Angel Reese said her foundation also is working with the Obama Foundation. “We really were just talking hoops. You can tell he’s always been a hooper. It doesn’t leave his blood,” WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike said. “We’ve known from the beginning that he’s followed us and is such a fan of women’s basketball. To be able to cele- brate 30 years here in the Obama Center, it feels very right.” Obama said he christened the court a month before the official opening of the pres- idential campus with a game of H-O-R-S-E — and admitted he lost that inaugural game. He teased the assembled WNBA players for their relaxed approach to Friday’s prac- tice, bowing out of going one-on-one with any of the league’s stars after briefly guard- ing New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones.

The 37-year-old right wing had the two beat with his large smile that lit up the room. He sat in his chair, comfortable and poised as could be. So no, not weird at all. The Hawks brought back Kane, who spent the first 15-plus seasons of his career in Chicago, signing the future Hall of Famer

The White Sox optioned Edgar Quero to Triple-A Charlotte in June when fellow catcher Kyle Teel returned from the injured list. When Teel went back to the IL on Tues- day, that gave Quero another chance with the big-league club. “It’s an opportunity for me, especially because I started the season pretty bad,” Quero said Wednesday in Arlington, Texas. “I have the chance right now to turn the page and do my stuff and get ready and help the team.”
Quero joins Drew Romo as catching options with Teel recovering from a left ankle sprain that could keep him sidelined for six to 12 weeks. “Having good at-bats offensively, obvi- ously, is something we’re looking for,” manager Will Venable said Wednesday. “And really just going out there and catch- ing well, and helping these pitchers through these games and finding us ways to win the

to a two-year, $16 million contract Thursday to return to the franchise that drafted him No. 1 in 2007. He’ll look to add to his Hawks numbers — 446 goals, 779 assists and 1,225 points. The stats each rank in the top three in franchise history. “It’s great to be a Blackhawk again,” he said Friday. “I appreciate everything (Davidson) had to deal with the last few weeks, just with taking my time and going through the process and the decision. “Obviously the story’s great, coming back to Chicago and being a Blackhawk again, where I spend my summers and Chicago being my home.” The Hawks in February 2023 traded Kane to the New York Rangers, and he spent the last three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings. After signing his contract Thursday, Kane skated through reps at the Blackhawks Ice Center in a Hawks sweater. The forward said his second Hawks stint is no farewell tour, noting that his motivation is to help a developing team. “Most importantly, it was just about coming to a team where I think I can fit in well, a team that’s on the rise, a team that’s looking to make some big steps forward and trying to make the playoffs,” Kane said. “I talked about all that other stuff (and) I think all that’s great, but that’s not why I’m here. “It’s not like I’m just coming back home to ride off into the sunset or whatever it is. I want to be a big player here and help the team win.” The Hawks, though, appear to be further away from competing than the club he decided against joining, the Sabres. Kane is a Buffalo, N.Y., native, and the Sabres last season ended a 14-year postseason drought. The Hawks have missed the playoffs six consecutive seasons and eight of nine. In the end, he chose the Hawks. “It’s always in the back of your mind, I don’t know if I ever really thought (coming back) was possible,” Kane said. “It got to the point (around free agency) where I wanted to see what was out there and what teams would be interested. “When Chicago showed their interest, it really got me interested as well. You start look- ing at the team, the potential and where they’re at as a group, it really made sense and seemed like a perfect fit for me.” It’s a change of pace for Davidson, who previously had brushed off a Kane reunion. That was a different time for Davidson, and the needs of his team led him to sway his opinion on bringing back the forward. “We were much more at the outset of this whole project (when Kane was traded), and now that we’ve got some of these draft picks, (they’ve) established themselves (and) continue to grow within the NHL,” Davidson said. “From an organizational standpoint and roster standpoint, the time was right. “(I want to) be very clear that we’re bring- ing (Kane) in to contribute to the hockey team here — the return is a very nice aspect of it, but it’s not the core reason. We’re bringing him in to make our team better, which we firmly believe that he does do.” The Hawks completed most of their offsea- son tasks in July. They extended star center Connor Bedard, signed winger help in Kane and traded for and extended defenseman Bowen Byram. Frank Nazar’s seven-year, $46.13 million extension kicks in this season, and Kane signaled his desire to develop chem- istry with the 22-year-old. Bedard, who will miss at least a month of the season following left shoulder surgery, made his pitch for Kane on Monday after signing his five-year, $75 million extension. “We’d all be so excited to have a player like that but also a guy like that,” Bedard said of Kane. “I can’t imagine his first game back at the (United Center), the reaction he’d get and how much juice that would bring to not only our team but our fans as well.” “You talk about the legacy aspect of it, but just as a team, he would make us a way better team — he’s still an amazing player. I don’t know if this is the best pitch, but hopefully he comes back and we can play together.” His pitch turned out to be successful, with Kane saying “it was cool to hear his comments and the excitement” Bedard will have play- ing alongside him. They’re expected to skate together on the top line — something Kane already has been thinking about. “How can you not?” Kane said. “He’s such a special player. This would be my 20th year in the league, and I’d probably see passes I’ve never seen before playing with him.” Kane’s son was 2 when his dad first left the Hawks, and he’ll see his father in a Hawks sweater again. “I don’t think he really remembered much from my first time around, so it’ll be great,” Kane said. “I definitely view myself as a Black- hawk, obviously for everything we accom- plished as a team, within the organization and personally. But for him to see that now and can really understand, it would be very special.” Kane can only imagine the roar when he takes the United Center ice in the Oct. 6 home opener, again in a Hawks sweater. “I remember coming back last year, I was on the ice for the national anthem and I was just so shocked at how loud it was,” Kane said. “I was thinking to myself: ‘Is this how loud it is every game? Did I take it for granted when I was here?’ “I’m sure it’ll be the same type of feeling going out there for the first home game and being back — it’ll be pretty electric.”
James Triantos looks on from the dugout Friday before a game against the Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. JOE SARGENT/GETTY
Prospect Triantos savors first big-league call-up
By Meghan Montemurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE
PITTSBURGH — For a few moments Friday afternoon before getting in his pregame defensive work, James Trian- tos stood on the dirt in front of the visitors dugout at PNC Park and slowly turned to take everything in. This wasn’t Triantos’ first time at the ballpark. He attended a Pirates game about 13 years ago while growing up in Virginia, roughly a four-hour drive from Pitts- burgh. But this time Triantos arrived as a big-leaguer. The Cubs added the 23-year-old to the roster from Triple A ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Pirates and optioned outfielder Kevin Alcántara to Iowa. “It’s really cool, I’m trying to think of the words, honestly,” Triantos said. “It’s the same game, but it’s really cool to be here. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and I just want to go compete. It’s surreal.” “I have a dream I want to accomplish. I want to help these guys here, help win games, and I’ve got to show up every single day, ready to play, put my best foot forward. I control my attitude, and I knew I had a really good opportunity. So just take full advantage. I get to play the game I love and get paid for it every single day. Can’t really ask for more than that.” It took a few attempts until Triantos learned of his first major-league call-up. He had put his phone on do not disturb around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at Iowa’s team hotel in Georgia for their series against Gwinnett. With Triantos playing video games before bed, Iowa manager Marty Pevey attempted to call three times to his

game. That’s what we expect. “And he went down there to Triple A, did a great job. Some of the things that we asked him to do, he did a really good job of commit- ting to. I want that to continue here, and he’s going to have a job to do — go out there and perform.” Quero, 23, slashed .187/.253/.233 (28-for- 150) with one double, two home runs, 15 RBIs and 12 runs in 55 games before being sent to Charlotte on June 22. He had his moments — he hit a walk-off two-run home run against the Cubs on May 17 — but never found consistency earlier this season. That sluggish start serves as a form of motivation in his return. “Especially right now, I’m feeling pretty good,” Quero said. “I did everything I could in Triple A to fix my swing and fix everything. I feel ready to go right now.” He slashed .230/.299/.295 (14-for-61) with one double, one home run, six RBIs and five runs in 15 games with the Knights. Tweaks
silenced phone. Next came a call to the hotel room phone, but since he hadn’t ordered anything, Trian- tos didn’t pick up. Finally, one of Iowa’s hitting coaches banged on his door and brought him to Pevey’s room, where Trian- tos learned he would be joining the Cubs in Pittsburgh. “I had no idea,” Triantos said. “I was super surprised, super happy, so that was awesome. … I wasn’t able to sleep all night basically.” Triantos’ first call was to his parents, then he made a visit to the room of teammate B.J. Murray, his roommate the last four years, to share the news. About 15 of Triantos’ friends and family members will be at PNC Park this weekend to, they hope, watch his MLB debut. Triantos likely won’t see much playing time, manager Craig Counsell said Friday, given the Cubs’ roster construction. It’s a similar situation Alcántara faced. “There’s not a lot of playing time for this (roster) spot, and that’s going to be kind of the same situation for James here,” Counsell said. “We’ll kind of see what happens in this stretch of no days off but likely not to be a lot of playing time. So we’re going to move this spot around a little bit to try to not give these guys too much time where they’re sitting on the bench, so to speak. “James has had a really good year, and I think this is a good introduction to the big leagues for him.” Triantos, rated the Cubs’ No. 11 prospect by MLB.com and No. 13 by Baseball Amer- ica, played five positions for Iowa this year, though Counsell sees them being most comfortable using him in the majors at second base, third base and left field. Despite the possible lack of at-bats
at the plate were part of his approach with Charlotte. “I felt good over there, being there for a month,” Quero said. “Working on my stuff and coming back right now. Especially on my swing. Doing my routine for the pregame stuff, working on my receiving, working everything and feel pretty good.” Quero went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday’s 4-2 win against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Venable said Wednesday that the Sox will take it “day by day” when deciding whether to start Quero or Romo, who entered Friday slashing .130/.217/.304 with five doubles, five home runs and 11 RBIs in 38 games. Venable added Friday: “We’ll look at a bunch of different stuff. It’s what they’re doing behind the scenes in their preparation. How they line up with that pitcher is maybe not at the top of the list but something that you consider — where these guys are at and what they can do to help a certain pitcher on that day navigate a lineup. “Obviously offensively and matchup-wise, that’s something we look at. There’s a bunch of different inputs, how much they’ve been
during his first taste of the majors, the Cubs believe exposure to the big leagues and all that entails is beneficial to prospects such as Triantos. The main adjustment: Every- thing is faster. “From the game itself to decisions happen faster, and you got to be prepared,” Counsell said. “There’s a different language that every individual team speaks, and there’s frankly more accountability to that, so you get it on a little bit of a slower basis if you’re not in there every day, and I think that’s the hope for James is he’ll learn a lot of that and be comfortable with it.” The Cubs’ position-playing group is a strength, both at the major-league level and among their top prospects. As the front office evaluates its options to improve a roster that entered Friday tied for the fifth-best winning percentage in the majors 10 days before the trade deadline, the position-player prospects, featuring Trian- tos, Alcántara and infielder Pedro Ramírez — who started as the designated hitter Friday — potentially can be used in a trade. Utility- man Matt Shaw also could be moved, though Counsell said Friday that he will not be acti- vated from the injured list before the Aug. 3 deadline because of his still-bothersome left hand sprain. Triantos isn’t worrying about any uncer- tainty about his Cubs future in the coming days. “I’m just going to control what I can control,” Triantos said. “When I get an opportunity, go make the most of it and stay present. That’s really it. That’s all. That’s all I’m trying to do right now. So, I’m not too worried about all that other stuff. I feel like it only distracts me. Just focus on winning a ball game every day.”
used over the last couple of days and where they’re at with their workload.” Romo got the start Friday in the series opener against the Houston Astros at Rate Field. It remains to be seen if the Sox will make any additional moves behind the plate as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches. “Getzy’s (general manager Chris Getz) job is to always look at how we can improve our team, and my job, our job here is to give these guys everything they need to be at their best and support them and try and get them better and try and win some games,” Venable said Tuesday. “So that’s what we’ll do, and I know Getzy will be doing whatever he can, not just specific to the catcher position. It’s a round-the-year job to look to how to improve our roster.” Back in the big leagues, Quero is looking to do his part. “I feel sorry for Kyle,” Quero said. “It’s been a pretty hard year for him, coming from injuries three times. But at the same time, it’s baseball and that can happen in the game. “It feels good to be back with the team, with the boys, trying to help the team with whatever they need. I’ll be ready.”
Players want teams to help stop online hate
By Colleen Kane and Julia Poe CHICAGO TRIBUNE
When former President Barack Obama visited the WNBA All-Stars before practices Friday morning at the Obama Presidential Center, he made the rounds shaking hands with players. When he reached Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, he told her she was fantas- tic and then had some advice to offer. “Don’t let all this nonsense get you down,” Obama told Clark. “I always say one of the things that was luckiest for me was I didn’t get famous until I was like 45. So I was an old-ass man. You’re my daughter’s age. … So don’t lose that joy.” The nonsense is the hurricane of social media commentary that follows Clark’s every move. Debates ensue among critics, support- ers and agitators every time she takes a hard foul or argues with an official, and anyone involved becomes sucked into the commen- tary, which many times centers on race. The WNBA as a whole is grappling with how to deal with the microscope that comes with increased attention — and the hateful online rhetoric that sometimes accompanies it. Clark appreciated Obama’s words and his understanding of what it means to handle the scrutiny. “I think sometimes people don’t always realize I’m 24 years old and I’m trying to navigate a lot of different things while trying to play basketball at the same time,” Clark said. “It was cool to hear that from him, and honestly it was probably a good reminder for all of us about treating people with respect, treating people with grace.” Obama went on to compliment Clark on continuing to “hoop” in the face of a lot of off-court noise. Clark said she hasn’t lost the joy of playing the game and tries to maintain perspective about what happens on social media. “We think (social media) is based in real- ity,” Clark said. “Don’t get me wrong, some of it is, but some of it’s not at the same time. I try to remind myself the best way I can, when you show up to the arena those are the people that truly care about the game and truly want to support the game. … (There are) people on the internet that write horrible things about people or whatever it is. There’s also a lot of really good people out there and there’s also a lot of people that love the WNBA and a lot of people that love and support me.” Clark is far from the only player dealing with online controversies and hate. Last week, the Las Vegas Aces released a statement condemning violent language used against players after star guard Chelsea Gray received an abusive message, including a racial slur in a social media direct message. The man who sent the message ultimately

“I don’t run full court no more to protect my Achilles,” the former president said jokingly. After posing for a photo opportunity, Obama took time to speak with each All-Star individually. “Oh, my God, that was so cool,” said Kahleah Copper, the former Sky star currently with the Phoenix Mercury. “The coolest thing for me is just how personable he is. It’s so genuine. He was just like, ‘You’re having a great season. I’m super proud of you.’ I’m like, ‘OK, are you watching me?’” Reese made sure her fellow players got photos with him, and she got a selfie, which she later posted on social media. “Not everybody just gets to meet Barack,” she said. It was her first time meeting Obama, though she went on Michelle Obama’s podcast previously and said it was empow- ering. She also had a run-in with Obama this week at the airport. “It’s so funny because when my plane was landing yesterday, he was right next to my plane,” Reese said. “They were like, ‘VIP, nobody can get off the plane.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, we VIP too.’ And then they said Obama, and I was like, ‘Oh, OK, OK, OK.’”

was fired by his employer, Hilton Grand Vaca- tions, which offered a moment of vindication for players who face an increasing volume of similar messages. “I think the Aces did a great job of speak- ing out on it, kind of nipping it in the bud instantly,” Aces star A’ja Wilson said. “That’s what you’ve got to do. I don’t like when things linger. It kind of sucks when it lingers because it allows a lot of things to seep in. So the biggest tangible thing is to really say things for what they are and just show us that you hear us, that you’re there for us and then we go from there. It starts with a conversation.” The harassment of Gray focused on her inability to fulfill the specific statistics of a prop bet, which is a type of bet that hinges on the individual points, rebounds, assists or other aspects of performance for a player in one game. These bets are often a driving force of indi- vidualized harassment for athletes across all sports. While that harassment might be rooted in the outcome of a gamble, it can quickly spiral into racial, homophobic and sexist language. This isn’t a new problem in sports — but it is a relatively new issue for the WNBA. Even five years ago, most Vegas books did not offer lines or prop bets on WNBA games or players. The league’s popularity has opened it up to a wave of coverage and sponsorship but also to new sources of conflict through the culture of gambling. “I think that a lot of this is coming from sports betting,” New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart said. “I guess because the sport’s getting bigger, that’s also why there’s sports betting, right? It’s a double-edged sword. Honestly I’m not super well-versed in all the different betting situations. I just think that with more eyes, with more viewers comes more good things and then more bad things. We’re trying to read between the lines and figure out how we can navigate this and go forward as we continue to grow.” Player protection became a crucial cornerstone this season of all conversations surrounding the future of WNBA Commis- sioner Cathy Engelbert, whose contract is set to expire after this season. Engelbert became the league’s commis-
LEBRON NEWS SPREADS Clark spent a couple of minutes pitching the Indiana Pacers to LeBron James during her media session, even though she said, “We all know that’s not happening.” She offered the idea of playing with Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam. She touted playing in a smaller market, saying of the Indiana fans, “This means so much to them. Indiana is a true basketball state. It’s one of the biggest basketball states in the country, and people truly care about the game there.” Later in her interview, she received the news: LeBron was signing a two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. “No way!” she said. “I just pitched him for the Pacers. It didn’t get to him fast enough. “The 76ers. Wow. Selfishly I wanted the Warriors because Steph and Bron would have been absolutely insane together, but they have some serious talent on the 76ers. Arguably, maybe one of the favorites in the East now with the Knicks and obviously my Pacers.”
sioner in 2019. In the ensuing seven years, the WNBA has experienced unprece- dented growth that includes a ground- breaking media-rights deal and expansion to six new markets. But league leadership often has chafed against players through- out Engelbert’s tenure, particularly during a contentious renegotiation of the collective bargaining agreement last offseason. Players previously criticized Engelbert’s ability to build relationships as a key stick- ing point in her leadership. This concern spread to her approach toward enforcement of league suspensions and player protection from online attacks. Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas criticized Engelbert’s lead- ership after the forward said she received death threats and racial slurs following the league’s decision to suspend her for a game for a foul on Clark during a July game against the Indiana Fever. Despite these issues, players were wary to dig in against the current commissioner during this weekend’s All-Star festivities. “It’s not on me to decide,” WNBPA Pres- ident Nneka Ogwumike said. “As players, when leadership is here, we rock with lead- ership. That’s my perspective. Cathy is here. I know there’s a lot of different conversations around the future of our leadership, but I told her that on Monday. This is who we got. This is what we all envisioned that we wanted us to be, and we’re going to rock with what we got.” Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers didn’t directly address a question about WNBA leadership beyond saying the players were happy to get the CBA done. But she did talk about what she wishes the media got right about the WNBA. To start, she stressed that physicality — and hard or flagrant fouls — are normal and have been a part of the league since its inception. “You have the best women in the world competing against each other and trying to win, and stuff happens,” Bueckers said. “I just wish the discourse was a little bit more about basketball and less about all the other stuff and more people talked about how great the players are, how much skill is in the game, how much the game has grown, just the elec- tricity of it right now. I just wish basketball was talked about a little more.”
Reese said her doll, which is dressed in a pink uniform, shoes and headband and has a pink ball, is a dream years in the making, since she became known as Bayou Barbie while playing at LSU. “I used to put Barbie stuff on merch and I wasn’t really supposed to,” Reese said. “I told them I really wanted to have a Barbie doll one day, and to have a Barbie, you have to be iconic. You have to do some real things. I knew it was going to take some time because there are so many great women that are Barbie dolls and have their own doll. I knew that’s what I wanted, and I spoke that into existence.” Reese is back in Chicago making her third WNBA All-Star appearance but her first as a member of the Dream since the Sky traded her in April. Reese said her move to Atlanta has “been a dream come true, literally.” She said she’s playing the best she has in her career and expressed appreciation for what she has gained under coach Karl Smesko. “I would just say my confidence and my patience,” Reese said. “He literally works on me every single day. … Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘I don’t want to do it today.’ But he’s in my ear every day. ‘Let’s go, we’re doing this.’ … It just shows how much he cares about me, and he just wants to see me get better every single day.”
Taking his talents to South Philly
LeBron James announces
‘last decision,’ heads to 76ers
By Dan Gelston ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — LeBron James’ first “final” decision was that he would retire. Weeks of deep reflection led him to change his mind, however, with all the familiar options in front of him to extend his career; a third trip with the Cavaliers, a second stop in Miami, maybe even stay in California for a high-profile union with the Warriors. Nope — to all of those teams. The blaring headline in bold letters still seemed like a feverish dream to the bulk of a fan base that wasn’t even alive the last time the franchise won a title, but it’s true: LeBron James is heading to the 76ers. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer made the announcement on social media Friday, saying it will be his “last decision” and that it comes after he strongly considered retire- ment. “I believe I can help make the Philadel- phia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time,” James said. A four-time NBA champion, James wrote he was “done” when his 23rd NBA season ended and that it was his last with the Lakers. “I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love this game,” James wrote. “I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.” The 41-year-old James is set to sign a modest $8 million, two-year contract on the veterans’ minimum with the Sixers, according to ESPN. He made nearly $53 million last season. “I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family,” James wrote. “What am I really playing for at this point? I still want to sacri- fice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning.” James celebrated his decision on Insta- gram with a career highlight reel set to Phil- adelphia rapper Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares,” the adopted sports anthem of city teams. The video ends with the lyric, “hold up, wait a minute. Y’all thought I was finished?” and cuts to a 76ers’ logo. Fanatics already had his No. 23 jersey on sale for $125 with delivery not expected until the end of August. The company sold out within hours of the announcement. Much as James did for Cleveland when he ended a 56-year championship drought for the city by leading the Cavaliers to the title in 2016, he can snap a lengthy title drought for the Sixers. The Sixers went 45-37 last season and were swept in the second round by the NBA champion Knicks. Most betting sites had the Sixers as 9-1 favorites to win the championship behind the Thunder, the Spurs and the Knicks, as of Friday afternoon. James joins a 76ers team that has not won an NBA championship since 1983 and has not advanced out of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs since 2001. The 76ers should boast one of the top starting fives in the NBA with second- year standout VJ Edgecombe, fellow All-Stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown — the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, a five-time All-Star and the league’s fourth-leading scorer this past season acquired in a stunning offseason deal with the Celtics. Maxey posted an Instagram story of him celebrating in a gym and yelling “what!? what?!” over the news while Brown wrote on X “#throwtheballup.” Brown wrote the same phrase in his introductory note to Philadelphia, and it has already been branded on billboards throughout the city. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro even proclaimed Friday as LeBron James Day in the state. Turned out with the Brown deal, new 76ers team president Mike Gansey — an Ohio prep basketball star with James — was just getting started with his summer of surprises. No move, of course, hits like James’ arrival. Playing with his home team in Cleveland to the bright lights of Los Angeles and with the talent he took to Miami, James won an NBA championship everywhere he played. James left the Lakers after an eight-season run highlighted by the 2020 NBA title. James is the NBA’s oldest active player at 41 and the only player in league history to have a career spanning 23 seasons; this coming season will be his 24th. Specula- tion has been rampant for more than two months about his future, officially starting in May when the Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. James’ resume is beyond compare in NBA history. He’s a 22-time All-Star, a 21-time All-NBA selection, a four-time Most Valuable Player, a four-time NBA Finals MVP, a three-time All-Star Game MVP, and was a member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team.

ON THIS DATE: JULY 25
1918: Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators pitched a four-hitter in 15 innings to beat the St. Louis Browns 1-0. The only hit off him in the first 11 innings was a triple by George Sisler. 1930: The Philadelphia Athletics came up with a triple steal in the first inning and again in the fourth in a 14-1 win over the Cleveland Indians. 1939: Atley Donald of the New York Yankees set a rookie pitching record in the AL when he registered his 12th consecutive victory since May 9, with a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Browns. 1941: Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox won his 300th and last game, beating the Cleveland Indians 10-6. 1949: Stan Musial of St. Louis hit for the cycle, going 4-5 and driving in four runs to lead the Cardinals to a 14-1 rout of the Broolyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. 1956: Roberto Clemente hit a game-winning inside-the-park grand slam to give Pittsburgh a 9-8 win over the Chicago Cubs at Forbes Field. 1961: En route to his 61-homer season, Roger Maris of the New York Yankees hit four homers against the Chicago White Sox in a doubleheader to give him 40 for the year. The Yankees took both games, 5-1 and 12-0, and Maris moved 25 games ahead of Babe Ruth’s 1927 pace. 1962: Stan Musial of St. Louis became the all-time RBI leader in the NL. His two-run home run, in a 5-2 loss to Los Angeles, gave him 1,862 RBIs, passing Mel Ott. 1978: Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds singled to left off New York’s Craig Swan in the third inning to set a NL record of hitting safely in 38 consecutive games. The Mets won the game 9-2. 1990: Kansas City’s George Brett hit for the cycle in the Royals 6-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. 2000: Mike Lansing of Colorado hit for the cycle in a 19-2 win over the Diamondbacks. 2011: Ian Kinsler homered and drove in four runs as the Texas Rangers pounded out the most runs and hits in the majors this season with a 20-6 rout of the Minnesota Twins. 2014: Yasiel Puig tied a franchise record with three triples and added a double and two RBIs as Los Angeles moved within a half-game of NL West-leading San Francis- co with an 8-1 win over the Giants. 2015: Cole Hamels became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs in 50 years while leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 win. There was drama down to the final out, when rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera stumbled on the warning track, but managed to lean forward and catch Kris Bryant’s flyball to end the game. Hamels struck out 13 in the first no-hitter versus the Cubs since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game in 1965.

scheduled to throw another bullpen Saturday at Citi Field, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he doesn’t expect the two-way superstar to return to the rotation by next week. “That’s too early. I feel very good that it won’t be next week,” Roberts said Friday before the opener of a three-game series against the Mets. “Every player wants to get back out there and do what they do. But I think he understands it’s not about July, it’s about October. So, we’ve already taken a lot of time to get him back to full health, so we’re not going to start earlier than we need to.” The two-time defend- ing World Series champion Dodgers began the day with the best record in the majors at 65-38 and an 11-game lead in the NL West. Ohtani hasn’t pitched since July 3 because of left knee irritation. But the Dodgers say it doesn’t bother him when hitting, and he’s remained in the starting lineup regularly.
Royals: Royals manager Matt Quatraro returned for the second game of the road series against the Tigers on Friday night, the club said on social media. Quatraro missed the first game of the four-game series while attending to a personal matter. The club, which announced Quatraro’s absence on Thursday, said it was expected to be a short leave. Bench coach Paul Hoover managed the team during the Royals’ 4-3 loss to the Tigers on Thursday. Vance Wilson served as the interim bench coach and José Alguacil coached third base. After leading the club to consecutive winning seasons for the first time in a decade, Quatraro earned a three-year contract extension during the offseason that will keep him

Guardians: The Guardians activated outfielder Angel Martinez from the 10-day injured list and left-handed reliever Tim Herrin from the 15-day IL on Friday before the start of a series against the AL East-leading Rays. To make room on the roster, left- hander Will Dion and utility man Daniel Schneemann were optioned to Triple-A Columbus. The Guardians enter the weekend series against the Rays 1 ½ games behind the White Sox for the top spot in the AL Central. Martinez, slotted in the lead- off spot to open the series against the Rays, missed 32 games with a fracture in his left foot after fouling a ball off the foot against the Tigers on June 13. Martinez was placed on the injured list on June 16 with a non-displaced fracture and missed 32 games.
Brewers: Brewers infielder David Hamilton has been activated from the injured list after recovering from a left hamstring strain. The Brewers announced the move before their Friday game with the Rockies. They also designated infielder Braden Shewmake for assign- ment. Hamilton left a July 6 victory over the Cardinals with hamstring tightness after hitting a double in the seventh inning, and he hadn’t played since.
Rockies: Tomoyuki Sugano picked up his 10th win and Kyle Karros and TJ Rumfield each had two hits as the Rockies capitalized on a fast start to beat the Brewers 5-2 on Friday. Sugano (10-4) struck out five over 5 ⅓ innings and allowed two runs on a pair of homers — Christian Yelich’s 413-foot leadoff drive in the first inning and Brice Turang’s 434-foot blast in the sixth.

Hamilton looks to apply pressure
By James Ellingworth ASSOCIATED PRESS
chance to pile pressure on Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes as the Formula 1 title race heads to Hungary, and there were promising signs Friday as Ferrari seemed to have the pace in practice. Hamilton has won the Hungarian Grand Prix eight times, making it his most successful event besides his home British Grand Prix. It’s a track where cornering ability, not raw power, tends to make the difference, which could suit his Ferrari. “I think we’ve got a car that can compete. Mercedes is still the car to beat, and they won’t be easy to beat this weekend, but I do think we’ve made subtle progress,” Hamilton said this week. “Hopefully we can be fighting with them this weekend.”
THE WAY IN PRACTICE It certainly seemed that way as Ferrari topped Friday’s two practice sessions. Hamilton set the fastest time of the day as he beat Leclerc by 0.148 of a second in the second session, with Lando Norris a distant third for McLaren, .499 away. George Russell was the best Mercedes in fifth and Antonelli only 13th in a session interrupted by a red flag when Franco Colapinto spun into a barrier. In the first session, Leclerc went fastest by nearly half a second from Max Verstappen of Red Bull, with Hamilton a close third. Russell was fifth fastest in that session, too, while Antonelli sat out as the team worked toward its
Mahomes cleared for camp after knee surgery
NEWS SERVICES
Mahomes has been cleared to participate in the start of training camp, checking off one of the major goals that the two-time MVP set for himself when he underwent surgery late last year to repair torn ligaments in his left knee. Mahomes said Friday he visited earlier this week with Dr. Dan Cooper, the Dallas- based orthopedic surgeon who performed the opera- tion, and that he met all the benchmarks necessary to report to Missouri Western State University on time. The Chiefs begin practice Saturday for rookies, quar- terbacks and players coming off injuries. Full-squad work begins next week. None of those players is more important than Mahomes, who hurt his knee late in a loss to the Chargers in December. He underwent surgery immediately after- ward, and rather than spend the offseason at his Texas home like usual, Mahomes toiled away at the Chiefs’ practice facility, pushing forward with his rehab so he would be ready to go by the late-July start of camp. “It was always the goal to be able to practice when I got to training camp. We kind of hit that step,” Mahomes said. “Now, it’s about building and keep getting better and better, so when the regular season comes around, I can be avail- able.”
CBS NFL analyst and former Cowboys quarter- back Tony Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating
non-regular drivers. Reserve Fred Vesti was seventh. Struggling Aston Martin made some progress with an upgraded car as Fernando Alonso placed 13th in the first session but a suspen- sion failure sent teammate Lance Stroll spinning wildly. The damage ruled Stroll out of the second session. It’s the last race before F1’s annual midseason break, and the next race won’t be until the Dutch Grand Prix on Aug. 23.
LEADS, THE OTHER UNDER PRESSURE “Still a lot of work to do, still a mountain to climb in the second half of the season, but I’m more focused than ever and really believe that we can fight,” Hamilton said. After the last race ended with celebrations for one Mercedes star and rancor from the other, this week in Hungary is a test of whether F1’s top team can stay united. Antonelli almost doubled his lead to 45 points over Hamilton, and 50 over team- mate George Russell, with a win in Belgium last week after Hamilton sent Russell spinning off the track on the opening lap. Russell vented his frus- tration in an expletive-filled radio message asking Mercedes why he’d suddenly lost speed and dropped behind Hamilton, forcing him into a risky overtake. Mercedes deputy tech- nical director Simone Resta said Friday it was down to “a bug in our software” and the team found the problem. “We think we’ve finally under- stood it and nailed it coming into Budapest,” he said.
influence. According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office’s arrest report, Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests after getting stopped while driving south on Interstate 43 on Thursday.
highly anticipated Dec. 21 nonconference men’s basket- ball game between Duke and Michigan has been called off. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Madison Square Garden, but a misinterpretation of broad- cast rights forced the sides to attempt to move the game to LoanDepot Park, home of the Marlins. However, the broad- cast rights issues remained, and all parties couldn’t come to an agreement.
15th 59 in PGA Tour history on Friday, making a 24-foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole at the 3M Open. Kim birdied the final four holes of his bogey-free round at TPC Twin Cities to get to 14-under for the tournament.
FIFA leader Gianni Infantino will not have to explain to the Olympic body how U.S. Pres- ident Donald Trump helped to stop a player’s ban at the World Cup. The IOC said on Friday it has no jurisdic- tion to investigate Infanti- no’s alleged lack of political neutrality. ... Pep Guardi- ola’s intention remains to take “at least one year” out of the game despite being approached to take over the Italy coaching job.
POGACAR USES GENIUS ATTACK ON ALPE D’HUEZ Tadej Pogacar launched a stunning solo attack from the foot of the iconic Alpe d’Huez to win the 19th stage of the Tour de France and extend his overall lead on Friday. Even by the four-time Tour champion’s lofty standards, it was up there with his best wins as he was more than three minutes behind with about 7.5 miles remaining. Riding without a teammate for the last section, he caught Ecuadorian rider Richard Carapaz and Frenchman Lenny Martinez with 1.5 kilometers left and then surged ahead for his fifth stage win of this year’s race and 26th overall. Martinez finished six seconds behind and Carapaz — who won Thursday’s 18th stage with a bril- liant breakaway win of his own — was nine seconds back. American Sepp Kuss, who faded in the closing stages, was 1 minute, 14 seconds adrift. With a lead of 7 minutes, 11 seconds over Remco Evenepoel in the overall standings, and two stages remaining, Pogacar is close to joining Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault as the only men to win five Tours. Barring mishap or accident, the Slovenian star will be crowned when the race ends on Sunday on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL

After last year’s bummer season, Manning keys in on making this a great one at Texas
By Eddie Pells ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — The quarterback who could get picked first in next year’s NFL draft isn’t going to lose focus thinking about what looks like a bright 2027. And he sure isn’t going to waste a lot of time worrying about his less-than-perfect 2025. Arch Manning of Texas, the latest in the long line of football’s royal family of quarterbacking, took 20 minutes worth of questions Thursday to close out SEC Media Days. He mostly spoke about 2026. “I’m not worried about anything in the future right now,” he said. “I’m worried about getting through this interview.” He did just fine. Sporting a burnt-orange necktie and a Longhorn pin on his lapel, the son of Cooper, nephew of Peyton and Eli, and grandson of Archie ran the gantlet with reporters lined up three-deep to speak with him. — How does it feel to be compared to others, both in and out of your family? “I’m trying to do better not comparing myself to others. They say comparison is the defeat of joy.” — Is he looking forward to leading the Longhorns into Uncle Peyton’s old stomping grounds, Neyland Stadium at Tennessee? “They’ve got a good coach and good players. We’re excited to go. I’m not going to make it about me.” — What’s his favorite hobby? Answer: golf. “I broke 80 for the first time last
week. Well, pretty much. I gave myself a putt.” Certainly, there’s still work to do for the 22-year-old junior-to-be, whose body and reputation took a beating with the Longhorns over a tumultuous, 10-3 season in 2025. Heading into his second season as the starter, Manning insists he tries to mini- mize the expectations that have been heaped on him since he emerged in high school as a surefire star-to-be — or the criticism from those who said his 3-2 start last year that dropped him down those NFL draft boards made him one of the biggest busts in college football history. “Everyone has an opinion and people get paid to talk in the media, so there’s really nothing you can do,” he said. “I’m trying to control the controllables.” He got sacked 23 times last season and was under pressure more than that. Because he’s a Manning, everything from his reactions after bad plays to his release time — somewhere around 3.2 seconds — got dissected way more than would those of a typical above-average college QB. Texas opened last season with a 14-7 loss to Ohio State and followed that five weeks later with a six-sack, 29-21 loss to a Florida team that turned out not to be very good. Standing out in the loss to the Gators was the image of Manning virtually folded in half, sandwiched by a pair of linebackers, after one of the six sacks. And a video of him plopping down on the bench, dejected, after one of his two
SPAIN COACH RIPS INTO ARGENTINA’S CONDUCT As FIFA investigates Argentina’s conduct after the World Cup final, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has described the inci- dents as “intolerable and unacceptable.” FIFA asked one of its disciplinary pros- ecutors Monday to report back on testy on-field confrontations after Spain’s 1-0 win in extra time Sunday to dethrone the defending champion. Argentina midfielder Leandro Pare- des physically tangled with Spain players Eric Garcia and Gavi, and Spain captain Rodri was hit in the stomach as he ran past Argentina defender Nahuel Molina. “It cannot be allowed,” De la Fuente, pictured, told Spanish public broad- caster TVE on Thursday, adding he did not see the incidents at the time while “celebrating with other people.” “In any case, I find it intolerable and unacceptable from players of that caliber, whom I had been praising in the days before and who have a magnificent coach,” the Spain coach said. FIFA has given no details of the remit for its investigator, or if witness statements could be sought from Spain players and staff. Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala apolo- gized Wednesday for his confrontation with Dani Olmo, which he described as a shove and not a punch.
interceptions that day. That he came back from that game to go 7-1, throw 20 touchdown passes and get the ‘Horns back in the playoff conversation sometimes gets over- looked. Texas plays both teams again this year, starting with the Buckeyes on Sept. 12. The Longhorns brought in receiver Cam Coleman from Auburn and a pair of running backs, Hollywood Smothers (N.C. State) and Raleek Brown (Arizona State), to help their star QB. “I think what he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes,” coach Steve Sarkisian said. “All he did was stay consistent and true to who he was, which was to continue to work hard, continue to be a great teammate, try to get better, and he did.” And that, Manning said, is pretty much the goal again for 2026. If he lives up to expectations, then it would be no big surprise to hear his name called first come draft day. He is scheduled to graduate in December. Neither that — nor any conversation about his family, his future or his place in the game — are going to shift his focus. “I just want to be remembered as a good teammate and someone who did whatever it took to help the team win and help the team get closer,” he said. “I’m not really worried about my legacy. I just want to win games and have a good time.”
RAVENS CUT QB PAVIA ON EVE OF ROOKIE CAMP The Ravens waived quarterback Diego Pavia on Thursday, just a day before rook- ies were to report to training camp. Pavia, the Heisman Trophy runner-up last season at Vanderbilt, signed as an undrafted free agent in April. He had hoped to compete for the third quarterback spot behind two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and veteran Tyler Huntley. Skylar Thompson and Joe Fagnano will vie for that spot. Pavia led Vanderbilt to the first 10-win season in program history, passing for 3,539 yards and 29 touch- downs. Pavia was named first-team All-American and SEC Offensive Player of the Year and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as the best upperclassman quarter- back in college football. Throughout the predraft process, there were questions about Pavia’s age (24), lack of height (5-foot-10) and decision-making off the field. After finish- ing runner-up to Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza in December, Pavia posted a photo on Instagram with the caption “F- ALL THE VOTERS” along with a thumbs- down emoji on social media. He later apologized. With Pavia waived, the Ravens still have four quarterbacks on their roster. — News services
Klopp begins
Germany stint
with warnings
By James Ellingworth | ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jürgen Klopp made a punchy start to his new job as Germany coach Friday, laying out red lines he’d consider resigning over, even before his turnaround effort with a squad which failed yet again at the World Cup. In a combative first news conference, the ex-Liverpool manager warned the German media he’ll quit if he believes they’re intruding on his family’s privacy. He also hinted Germany could be his last job in coaching and admitted he hasn’t been an avid follower of international games.
KLOPP’S TARGETS
ARE EURO 2028 AND
THE 2030 WORLD CUP
Klopp was the German
federation’s top target and now
he’s signed a contract through
to the 2030 World Cup. At his
presentation Friday, he said it
was “a big honor” to take the
job and signaled it could be his
final role as coach.
Klopp said Friday he would
be prepared to leave with-
out any severance pay if it
doesn’t work out, or if criti-
cism becomes overwhelming,
and threatened to resign if the
media doesn’t “leave my family
in peace.”
“Jürgen Klopp has no career
after the national team,” he
said. “Ideally, this will be the
highlight of my career, my life, my
working life. I will put everything into it that I possibly can.”
He replaces Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned amid
heavy criticism after Germany’s loss to Paraguay meant
it failed to reach the last 16 of a men’s World Cup for the
third time in a row.
Klopp indicated he believed Nagelsmann and England’s
coach Thomas Tuchel had been treated unfairly in the
media. “I’m doing the job even though I’ve heard how you
treated Julian, although I’ve heard how England treats
Tuchel,” he said, without specifying what exactly he thought
was the problem.
KLOPP WANTS TO MAKE
GERMAN SOCCER COOL AGAIN
It is Klopp’s first coaching job since he left Liverpool
in 2024 citing fatigue. He said he was “recharged” in
comments while in talks over the Germany job.
Klopp signaled he plans to make some surprising squad
selections and said his mission isn’t just to win games, but
to bring back a buzz around the team. Klopp himself admit-
ted that “it’s been a while” since he watched national team
games outside of major tournaments.
“I want to create something with the national team that
means that people go home after the game and think ‘That
was really cool.’ That’s what I’d like to see happen,” he said.
KLOPP’S ARRIVAL FOLLOWS
TALKS DURING THE WORLD CUP
The man known for thrilling “heavy metal football” at
Liverpool, Klopp was Germany’s preferred candidate as
soon as Nagelsmann quit.
Over weeks of talks, the 59-year-old German — 20 years
older than Nagelsmann — stayed in the United States as
a World Cup pundit for a German-language broadcaster.
The federation also held talks with the Red Bull group,
where Klopp spent the last year and a half as “head of global
soccer” advising its worldwide group of soccer clubs.
German federation president Bernd Neuendorf said there
wouldn’t be a typical release fee paid to Red Bull for Klopp.
Instead, the federation pays one million euros ($1.14 million)
to a Red Bull-linked charity and has agreed to hold three
national team games in the eastern city of Leipzig, where
Red Bull backs the city’s Bundesliga club team.
Klopp faces a tough introduction to his first national team
job with four Nations League games in 11 days against the
Netherlands, Greece and Serbia in late September and early
October. The first major milestone will be the 2028 Euro-
pean Championship.
MERTESACKER JOINS KLOPP IN GERMANY SETUP Germany hasn’t won a knockout game at a World Cup since beating Argentina in the 2014 final. Now a player from that team will be working alongside Klopp. Former defender Per Mertesacker joins Klopp as the federation’s new managing director for sport, with a role overseeing the German men’s national teams and an empha- sis on bringing players through youth national teams to star for the senior team. He will start the role in January and joins after eight years running Arsenal’s academy. Klopp is reunited with two of his assistants from his Liverpool days, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders, weeks after Lijnders left a role as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Man City. Ex-Germany player Sven Bender also takes an assistant role. In an unusual arrangement, Klopp’s longtime agent Marc Kosicke joins the coaching team in a role focusing on strategy and administration, but won’t be a federation employee.
