五角大楼敦促恢复库存

伊朗战争持续，国防部指示国防企业制造武器 作者：FRANKMY VERMA

根据《华盛顿邮报》获得的一份国防部备忘录，五角大楼正要求美国国防工业迅速扩大武器的生产和交付，包括因战争而极度短缺的变体型号。

国防部副部长史蒂夫·费恩伯格（Steve Feinberg）在周三写给行业领导者的信中表示，他们最多有25天的时间来扩展计划，以“大幅加快、采取更激进的交付时间表和 / 或增加关键能力的生产”，此前对该备忘录的解读显示。

“多年的开发已经延长且可以接受，”费恩伯格写道。“我们现在必须大幅加快我们的计划进度并扩大我们的生产能力。”

两名熟悉此问题的人近期告诉《华盛顿邮报》，此次指示出台之际，武器短缺已成为唐纳德·特朗普总统与国防部之间紧张关系的源头。

据行业专家称，这也是五角大楼和白宫为解决该问题而采取的一系列行动中的最新一项，而该问题在陷入僵局的国会释放额国防开支之前，可能在很大程度上仍无法解决。

玩具兔子搅乱政治竞选

关于米勒隐瞒女儿睡眠伙伴的指控引发疯狂 作者：RANDALL PAQUETTE 和 JARY B WANG

直到现在，宾夕法尼亚州的新闻从未听说过马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）众议员，或者她熟知的“Mike Steverson”名单，但她对Buddy了如指掌。她10岁的女儿如果没有那块附在心形炸弹套装上的粉色毯子就无法入睡。长时间地挑起眉毛，这种恐惧似乎永远在楼上。

“这不是世界上最珍贵的东西，”40岁的家庭治疗师贝丝·泰森（Beth Tyson）说道。尽管她很少有时间关注政治，更不用说俄亥俄州的众议院竞选，但泰森一直在阅读关于另一个小女孩世界上最珍贵之物的请求。

在全国各地，父母或社交媒体似乎同样关注这个关于一只破旧动物的传奇故事，这个故事将一场隐藏的两分支削减竞选变成了全国性的新闻狂热。与此同时，这也被视为一种经济暴力和身体虐待的巷战。

夫妇之情超越相识的商场冰场

杰里和塔莉·伦纳德在即将关闭的俄勒冈州设施中，数十年来一直让购物者和公开滑冰的人群感到兴奋 作者：卡罗尔·帕克斯 俄勒冈州波特兰 —— 空气中依然弥漫着椒盐卷饼和焦糖爆米花的味道。穿着厚重服装的青少年依然从 Hot Topic 店里涌出，小女孩们在冰上练习花样滑冰跳跃。但建设成本已开始拆除商场的一半，很快冰场也将消失。但现在，杰里·伦纳德滑离了那个他搭建的轰鸣之源，向那个多年来在每件事上都与他作伴的女人滑去。他牵起她的手。科琳·斯通的开场曲《Because You Loved Me》响起，塔莉·伦纳德锁定了目光，杰里感受到了他一直以来的感觉：人间天堂。他们开始滑冰。他 70 岁，她本周满 95 岁 —— 一对夫妇。曾经的朋友称塔莉和杰里于 1981 年第一次在这个冰场相识，从此这里成了他们生活的中心。他们几乎每周有四天在这里。即便现在，杰里和塔莉·伦纳德作为超过 200 年的滑冰伙伴，不确定在劳埃德中心（Lloyd Center）关闭后将如何填补这一空白。那些二十年未曾到访的中年人知道在 1.5 m. 疾病时出现。虽然几代人长大时相信这座商场及其坚定的滑冰夫妇将永远在那里，但美国人停止前往大型购物中心。结果，近 1.1万,000 家已关闭，转为在线购物医院。俄勒冈州波特兰的劳埃德中心在多年前曾是一家百货公司。该商场作为艺术博物馆、音乐研究和名为 Maitland 的儿童游戏空间的家庭收藏而坚持了下来。人们继续在的一楼冰场上扭转和跌倒。但波特兰官员很久以前就决定，他们希望在这 20 英亩土地上实现不同的规划。上个月，市议会批准了一项混合用途住宅和绿地的计划。一群滑冰者请愿要求为了“杰里、塔莉和波特兰”而保留冰场，但市领导拒绝了这一诉求。商场计划于周六关闭。 CBI COWPER CO. 8 / 9

一个走红的 $20 卷饼在网络上引发保守派的分歧

关于食物可负担性的辩论由此爆发 作者：BARTHOL LEHMAN

有时，一个卷饼就只是一个卷饼。有时，它则是某种更深层事物的象征。今年，保守派在网上就餐厅里一个包含豆类、莎莎酱和鳄梨酱（如果你在那儿的话？）的卷饼应该多少钱——以及你是否应该出门去买它们——展开了激烈的争论。

一方是那些认为卷饼甚至不到 $20，而且你无论如何都可以在家里愉快地制作它们——或者干脆吃癌症！的保守派。另一方则是坚持认为食物变得更贵且人们对此感到不安的保守派。他们认为党派需要关注 8 Republicans 想要在中部获胜。

“无论你在哪里买卷饼，它都比一年前贵，这是一个问题，”共和党战略师 Doug Reye 表示。他警告说，关于卷饼、舞厅和收集池的社交媒体争论，分散了人们对真正关心问题的注意力。就像那个引发大规模网络辩论拜登政府的走红 $10 麦当劳套餐一样，这场辩论触及了可负担性的重要性，尤其是对于年轻选民而言。

这场争论始于保守派青年组织 Nursing Field USA 的 Andrew Kohn 在 8, 发布的一条帖子，称一名大学生向他发起了一场关于可负担性的挑战：“一个卷饼！竟然不到 $20。”

这个所谓的卷饼看起来像是一个故事，导致一些发帖者得出结论，大学生们指的是从 Devin Dade 或 Chevillan 购买的卷饼，这些廉价产品会显著增加成本。在华盛顿市中心 Chapelle 的一个牛排卷饼，含税后价格为 $25.27。额外的 Grace 为 $3.50。根据一项对几个街区外配送的估算，通过 Goodfellow 的价格上涨到了 $10.00。Grace 额外增加 $3.45。而且别忘了签名。

“如果你让别人为你准备并配送，单餐是很贵的。如果你自己去买，会更便宜。如果你买食材自己做，会更便宜。就这样，”Electronics Reason Magazine 的高级编辑 Bobby Reyes 发帖称。

众议员 Dan Cronkane（共和党-Sina）称这场辩论“愚蠢”，并在 X 上发帖：“停止抽烟，找份工作，像我们大多数人在大学时那样吃香蕉，在社区中预算有限地生活。”

但其他人认为学生们有道理。那些坚持让社区外出或不必要地留在食堂的人正在制造 $195 / $10 的观点，”右翼非营利组织 Defense of Freedom Institute 的发言人 Angela Mandelot 写道。她说她将此纳入了她的能力过程中。“如果右翼解决可负担性危机的方案是告诉人们去吃更差的食物，我们将失败，而且我们罪有应得。”

自由意志主义智库 USA贫困ism 的 Ryan Bourne 表示，这场辩论正成为右翼之间关于时间战争的代理之战。一个阵营认为党派已经分心，应该关注像可负担性这样的公众关切。而另一个阵营则希望行动继续，并告诉人们适应现状并在家中制作。

“这种情况一次又一次地出现，”Bourne 表示，他在 Davis R. Ryan 捍卫了公众对经济学的理解。“这是一个糟糕的经济论点，因为如果我走到河边，它就是平坦的。这也是一个失败的政治论点，因为人们不喜欢被告知可以通过让生活变得更糟来避免通货膨胀的影响。”

随着中场球员的接近，杨政府正失去一个对经济日益不满的公众。一项 Mgr 民调显示，美国人对经济的信心触及近四年来的低点。自 2020 年 1 月以来，有几天的时间里超过 20% 的，而包括餐厅在内的外食价格上涨了超过——近 37%。穆迪分析公司（Moody's Analytics）首席顾问马克·祖雷克（Mark Zurek）表示，美国人担心生活成本。对于年轻选民来说尤其如此，他们面临着更艰难的食品岗位就业市场，以及信用卡债务和学生贷款。“年轻人的处境尤其艰难。Manuoln't，”他说。

副总统 JD Vanavendel 在 X 上介入了这场辩论，以回应《华盛顿邮报》专栏作家兼福克斯新闻（Fox News）撰稿人马克·汤姆森（Marc Thomson）发布的关于大学生可以在餐食计划中吃到卷饼的帖子。“我很惊讶听到马克这么说，”Vanavendel 表示。“下次见面时试一下就知道了，很明显这个男人从未错过过卷饼。”万斯（Vance）的办公室拒绝就卷饼之争发表评论，但他曾在过去一年中承认美国人对负担能力的担忧，并在上周接受福克斯新闻（Fox News）采访时表示，政府在改善中产阶级生活方面进行了长期投资。

甚至民主党众议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren，马萨诸塞州）在上周也被卷入了这场争议，此前 TMC 周四在参议院办公大楼询问了她此事。“我们可以通过及时停止战争来降低这些价格，这样我们就不会推高所有杂货的成本，”她说。“杨政府在降低价格方面可以做很多事情，但相反，他们正在做的是提高价格。而且你知道吗？这就体现在你的卷饼里。”

一个孩子的毛绒兔子引发了政治竞选和互联网的轰动

马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）多年来一直面临着各种指控，最近一次来自他 2 岁女儿的母亲。但没有任何指控像这只“蓝色小兔子”一样产生如此大的影响。此前一直避免评论米勒私人生活的保守派同事，在本周对他陪伴的人提出了质疑，因为他的前岳父——另一位有影响力的俄亥俄州共和党人——指责这位连任两届的国会议员扣押了他孙女的毛绒“兔子”，他称其为禁忌。

“这个女孩晚上在哭，因为没有她的蓝色小兔子就睡不着，而他的回答是：‘我就是不给你，’”鲁特-莫雷诺（Reuter-Moreno）周二告诉记者。米勒否认了所有虐待指控，次日在 X 上发帖称，他被误解了。他表示，他的前妻团队在寄送兔子以提供“安慰”时寄错了东西，根据两人之间的最后一条信息，这导致了交接的延迟——并非全部。根据这段引发了 200 万 次观看的对话，对方要求他直接将其留在信箱里。

CNN 的杰克·图珀（Jake Tupper）提出了一个大家都在关注的问题：“你扣押了这只兔子吗？”“没有，没有，图珀，”米勒回答道，并坚称这样做将是“极其令人不安的”。

对此，互联网用户表示赞同。

共和党众议员马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）被指控扣押其女儿的毛绒“兔子”长达 10 小时。“什么样的父亲在知道这能帮小女孩晚上睡觉的情况下，竟然不亲自把兔子送回去？”一名评论者问道。“这只会让你看起来更糟，”极右翼新闻网站 Gateway Fund's 的一名记者补充道。

“真的有成千上万的父亲在读这些推文并心想：‘当我的女儿丢失她最喜欢的玩具时，我组织了一场搜救队，就像在寻找一枚坠落的北约（NATO）核弹头一样。’而在那次失败后，我花了 $100 在其他地方买了一个复制品，”前乔治·W·布什总统的祖母大卫·弗罗姆（David From）发帖称。

突然之间，俄亥俄州关于一个玩具的争端引发了全国范围内的激烈讨论。“无论处于哪个阵营，每个人都能理解这一点，”斯坦福大学政治心理研究小组主任乔·基沃尼克（Joe Kivonick）表示。他补充说，这只蓝色小兔子“向我们所有人传递了强有力的信息”。

也许每个人都曾深爱过自己的某个物品，或者认识这样的人。父母们在社交平台上分享关于家中蓝色小兔子的故事（以及他们藏在衣橱里的秘密替代品）。

“我们没有备份，”来自俄亥俄州、在俄亥俄州感染后被告知情况的 70 岁牙医丹妮尔·布斯曼（Danielle Bussman）说道。她的女儿特别依恋她认为唯一的那个，甚至试图喂它吃晚餐。“我甚至无法想象她哪怕只离开它一个晚上，”布斯曼说。

“一个孩子与心爱的伙伴分离的画面，触动了我们的情感共鸣，”研究大众传播的俄亥俄大学教授伊芙·恩格（Eve Ng）表示。在一个推崇信息支持的世界里，这进一步增强了影响。“这个视觉形象尤其强大，”她说，“因为它成功地将所有东西浓缩在一个符号中。”

家庭治疗师泰森（Tyson）不想做出评判或卷入政治。无论如何，她的医生们已经对美国这种毫无疑问的现状感到厌倦。但她经常谈到这类研究的力量。她认为，成年人应该谨慎处理这些问题。

这只兔子从女儿还是婴儿时起就是她的伙伴。这个女孩在晚上依然用手指抓着它。她称它为“她”而非“它”。他们对兔子使用了人类代词。泰森说，孩子们倾向于进行魔幻思考，所以那个东西是真实的。从她的工作中，她知道毛绒玩具可以安抚年轻的神经系统。她补充说，对其中一个产生更深的依恋，是孩子能够形成安全依恋的健康迹象。“它可以是倾诉秘密的对象，”她说，“或者是帮助应对困难的东西，或者是让你感到安全的东西。”

兰迪·贾菲（Randi Jaffe），39岁，在想是否有人发布过那只蓝色小兔子的照片。作为“最后缰绳项目”（Last Bridle Project）的创始人，她在加利福尼亚州的山火中替换了合成制品。她说，现在她想为一名受困的孩子寻找一个完全相同的替代品。

“她可以在妈妈那里放一只，在爸爸那里放一只，”贾菲在思考解决僵局的可能方案时说道，“当然，这些父母可能得确保第二只兔子具有与第一只相同的磨损程度。对于一个小孩子来说，一个崭新的替代品可能会像个陌生人。但并非总是如此，女儿们可以挺过来。”

在洛杉矶州，一个失去了她心爱之物的女孩，给它起名叫罗宾斯（Robbins）。贾菲向她的Instagram粉丝发布了一条信息，并附上了一张这款已停产产品的照片，写道：“寻找”。一名来自加拿大的用户回复说，她有一个多余的罗宾斯，问可以寄到哪里。

随后，贾菲收到了一封令人动容的电子邮件。“当火灾发生时，有太多东西让人觉得无法替代，”女孩的母亲在表达感激之情时写道。她补充说，她的女儿失去了太多，“而罗宾斯在某种程度上成了这一切的象征。”

民主社会主义者的主导地位分裂了这个社区

在皇后区的阿斯托里亚，这种分歧预示了随着更多进步派候选人在全国范围内赢得选举而可能出现的紧张局势

作者：THE CRASS 纽约 —— 帕拉·拉姆科什（Para Ramkosh）知道，在城市阿斯托里亚社区的核心地带，由于其强烈的活动，这里在30多年来一直很突出。拉姆科什表示，在大部分时间里，她的家——上面贴满了展示其政治观点的青少年贴纸——使她在这个历史上由白人阶级和相对保守的居民主导的社区中显得格格不入。拉姆科什回忆道，有好几次，“有人来到她家，用油漆喷涂或采取其他手段来掩盖她关于同性恋权利、民权或美国外交政策的观点。”但拉姆科什说，近年来，随着阿斯托里亚经历快速的政治转变，这里终于让她有了家的感觉，而这种转变使她成为了社会主义运动的一部分：这场运动正席卷民主党。

“现在，住在这里感觉很棒，”43岁的拉姆科什说道。在采访时，她扫视了一下家侧面贴着的600多张贴纸：“民主社会主义者是这个国家可能发生的最好的事情。共和党人是一场灾难。”

事实上，在皇后区西北部沿东岸，阿斯托里亚是民主社会主义政治人物积累权力并推动一种可能预示民主党未来的文化的最高调案例。居住在这里的近20万,000人由民主社会主义者代表（包括市议会、州议会、州参议院、议会办公室和国会）。在泽尔曼·马姆达尼（Zelman Mamdani）当选纽约市长之前，这里曾是这位美国最著名的民主社会主义领导人之一的居住地。

然而，并非所有阿斯托里亚的人都认同该社区日益自由的观点。相当一部分居民保持警惕，因为与美国民主社会主义者（Democratic Socialists of America）结盟的候选人正占据越来越多的领导地位。目前的情况提供了一个观察这个现在通常被称为“阿斯托里亚人民共和国”的社区生活的窗口。随着更多民主社会主义者寻求在全国推广，它还揭示了被优先考虑的政策——包括关于自我激励、社会正义和交通的关键方法。

“到处都有阿斯托里亚吗？不一定，”纽约政治经理迈克尔·兰格（Michael Lange）说道，他已决定离开民主社会主义运动。“但在每个大城市和历史中都有像阿斯托里亚这样的社区，民主联盟的未来至关重要。”

这些变化在很大程度上是由年轻人、白人（Brenda）和一些更不重要的人推动的，他们将该地区变成了纽约最多样化的社区之一。这些人因对飞涨的房租、医疗保健和育儿成本的不满，以及对州法律监管的共同反对、对中东巴勒斯坦人困境的关注而团结在一起。他们现在构成了当地民主党的领导层，提升社会主义候选人的地位，同时排挤那些在这里掌握权力数代之久的人。

与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普总统在2018年在这里赢得了约四分之一的选票——更多资深经济学家、该群体以及更多单一的人，被告知在许多其他地方采取非慈善行动。

这里的分歧预示了随着更多民主社会主义者承诺通过提高富人税来扩大针对穷人的社会服务并赢得选举而可能出现的紧张局势。随着1950年代试图在2020年总统竞选中发挥作用，民主党领导人将密切关注这种平衡。

“在市办公室的高层之下，它组织了，发声的移植，”州政府以及州与商业城市协会主席约翰·比尔查姆（John Bircham）说道。“这并不一定反映大多数美国人的观点，尤其是那些一直生活在美国这个州的居民。”

“进步政治将停止”

自 1970 年代成立以来，阿斯托里亚（Astoria）一直是移民的家园，这里曾有庞大的意大利社区家庭居住，随后在 20 世纪有大量希腊家庭迁入。1970 年代显示出“全在家庭之中”，这部探讨后民权 era 其他美国白人文化冲突的作品就设定在阿斯托里亚。在过去的 20 年里，由于来自中东、非洲、南亚以及中南美洲移民的涌入，该地区迅速发生了变化。

“这里曾是 100 多个族群的家园，近 80% 的居民出生于海外。”

纽约市议员蒂法尼·奇钦（Tiffany Cichin）是一位民主社会主义者，她于 2015 年当选代表阿斯托里亚，她将这个社区描述为一个“美丽、不可动摇的本地社区”，她和其他当地政治领导人认为，该社区将继续成为进步政治的堡垒。

“我们绝对将阿斯托里亚视为一个可以证明民主社会主义者能够治理并让人们生活变得更好的地方，”代表阿斯托里亚部分地区的民主社会主义者、州代表戴安娜·莫雷诺（Diana Moreno）说道，并补充道：“这是一个进步政治将停止的地方。”

Mallinckheedam 的影响贯穿于整个社区，该社区跨度约 200 个街区。中层公寓楼与三层砖砌排屋并肩而立，两线街道上挤满了面包店、咖啡馆以及水果蔬菜摊。随后，更多具有拖装秀风格的场所与传统的纽约酒吧共存。该社区拥有纽约最大的户外啤酒花园之一，但同时也是大量倾向于避酒的穆斯林人口的家园。

旧阿斯托里亚社区协会（Old Astoria Neighborhood Association）主任兼当地社区委员会成员理查德·克莱曼（Richard Klemann）表示，该社区在 2010 年代开始发生剧烈变化，当时年轻的白人居民开始搬入，“新居民，克莱曼和兰格（Lange）”，他们的投票率要高得多，而传统的民主党领导人不再代表他们的价值观。

该地区最大的政治意外发生在 2020 年，当时代表亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥（Alexandra Ocasio）在当年的民主党初选中击败了一位任职 9 期的现任者。两年后，当时 20 岁的马姆达尼（Mamdani）在州议会民主党初选中击败了一位任职 5 期的现任者。马姆达尼在 2020 年通过一封信件，使他成为了纽约首位穆斯林市长。

居住在阿斯托里亚并曾领导 2020 年代纽约分会的 That 表示，这场运动培养了一个稳定的居民网络，他们现在将自己视为“DNA 选民”。他表示，这些选民及其子女构成了一个群体，“他们希望大刀阔斧地”解决高昂的育儿和医疗成本。

“人们看起来越来越不像只是在生活和生活，而现在更多是在生活中寻求组建家庭，”在奥卡西奥-库尔图里（Ousio-Curturi）2020 年竞选期间开始参与阿斯托里亚政治的 That 说道。

JAMES HALL, 2018, 1970年代, 1980, 1990

在就职的前六个月里，马姆达尼（Mamdani）履行了一项竞选承诺，旨在让低收入居民能够更实惠地使用公共交通。他表示，市议会最近还同意拨出 75万,000 美元的纳税人资金，帮助低收入的纽约人购买宠物食品。马姆达尼是阿斯托里亚（Astoria）唯一担任行政职务的民主社会主义者。其他人则专注于他们能独立完成的事情：2020 年，莫诺罗（Monroe）和其他阿斯托里亚政治人物在州首府和市政厅的影响力持续扩大。今年夏天，DNA 候选人在纽约、科罗拉多和密歇根州挑战了三名现任国会议员。他们还参加了华盛顿特区市长的民主党初选，以及皇后区、布鲁克林、布朗克斯和布法罗其他地区的纽约州立法关键席位竞争。莫诺罗表示，她和她的 DNA 候选人在提高富人税收以及实施由租户控制公寓大楼的经济适用房计划方面占据主导地位。Cichin 表示，这些提案都没有在时间上妥协。民主社会主义领导人正在改变阿斯托里亚的运作方式。例如，尽管部分社区反对，车道税（Like taxes）仍被迅速建立。她表示，当领导人面对要求警察移除在一家热门健身房附近建立营地的干扰性无家可归夫妇的公众压力时，阿斯托里亚的领导人努力寻找一个能让他们在一起居住的避难所。“打电话报警真的很简单，”Cichin 说道，并补充说，相反，她和她的同事们“尝试通过对话来探讨如何解决问题的根源。”“什么是社会主义者？”但这里的每个人都深信，代表阿斯托里亚的政治人物正在优先处理对公众最重要的问题。在当地的 Romanovod 公共住房综合体，几位居民表示“愿意给马姆达尼和其他民主社会主义者一个机会，尽管他们仍然不明白将如何从这些政策中受益。”60 岁的布莱恩·哈蒙（Brian Hammon）指出，她的公寓到处是水损，而市政府还没有修复。“什么是社会主义者？”她问道。她将自己描述为一名“内心深处的民主党人”。她说，她更关注该运动的推动力。几个街区外，一名意大利音乐家正在亚特兰大广场（Atlanta Square）举行免费音乐会，这是一个被冰淇淋店和其他商店环绕的当地公园。在音乐声中，路过的警察走过，其中一人表示他 40 年前搬到阿斯托里亚，现在谈到了这里是如何被治理的。Definitive 作为皇后区意大利裔美国人组织联合会的执行主任表示，他过去觉得民主党政治人物代表所有人。他说，现在有时感觉领导人只想治理一个小“部门”，而不是他们的整个选区。“有些人想要一切都免费，”Definitive 评价民主社会主义哲学，这位退休的 Romanovod 主管表示：“没有什么是免费的。但富人？是的，但富人——但如果富人离开纽约，你从哪里获得资金？——在能避风的地方避风吧。”在曾经是“配偶场所”购物目的地的较大规模商业保险区域，商业领袖们也感到不安。几位在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示，不断上涨的公用事业成本和高额房产税（随之带动租金上涨）正迫使零售商离开该州。Bircham 表示，“在去年夏天的一些报告中”，并补充说，他们“抱怨公共领导人失去了对公共安全的务实关注，即使领导人们在生活质量方面并未达到阿斯托里亚过去代表所实现的水平。”在 2020 年代，阿斯托里亚的居民，同时也是曼哈顿研究所（一家一直批评社会主义政策的保守派智库）的城市主任。在阿斯托里亚长大并拥有 Ameriol's Realty 的保罗·哈布赖姆（Paul Habraim）表示，该社区房地产市场的健康状况目前参差不齐。

尽管阿斯托里亚的单户住宅在过去 20 年间价值翻了一番，超过 1000 万，但哈布赖姆表示，在马姆达尼的租金损失中，旧公寓楼的所有者们正陷入苦战。哈布赖姆说，之前以约 $1 售出的建筑现在正以 $75万,000 的低价挂牌。他补充道：“就健康而言，那个价格的需求量并不大。”当地企业主们撇开了关于民主社会主义者应对经济挑战负责的担忧。

在 2020 年代的阿斯托里亚百老汇大街上，位于 Fiddled 和 Shawman 之王之处，有一家著名的巴勒斯坦国家餐厅。 “我们是一个拥有哥伦比亚餐厅、爱尔兰餐厅和拥有数十年历史的意大利面包店的社区。” 针对美国和以色列领导人在中东的行动，泽尔达在他的餐厅里装饰了引导特朗普、美国和澳大利亚的标牌。值得注意的是，泽尔达还创造了一种“耻辱之乳”，强迫顾客站在保守派美国政治家和新犯罪增长的照片上。

“社会主义者在为他们做其他政治家没在做的事情，”泽尔达说道，他赞赏社区与巴勒斯坦事业的强力结盟。“他们正在对残害说‘够了’，庆幸的是，新一代人正在觉醒。” 泽尔达表示，他对民主社会主义者最近的胜利感到非常激动，他补充道：在他的门上贴了红色标志，将餐厅标注为 1984, 总部。

7月的大部分时间里，北半球的大片地区陷入火海。居民们对周五发生在塞尔维亚德利布拉蒂卡普拉瓦拉（Deliblatika Pravara）的一场山火做出反应。喷流一直呈弧形向上并覆盖美国和西欧，其下方形成了热穹顶。FIRE FLOUR A4 进入北极圈——以及西欧、北欧和俄罗斯部分地区。在气候变化的背景下，生活揭示了当极端天气在高度、寒冷频率和强度上相结合并形成一种水牛景观（buffalo landscape）时会是什么样子。就像 1933 和 1934 年一样，今年夏天是北半球火热 era 的最新篇章，山火变得更加频繁且剧烈，而损害数百万人健康的压抑性热浪和烟雾正变得日益常态化。“这就像是一场由极热条件和强风组成的完美风暴，引发了这些火灾，”加州大学默塞德分校（University of California at Merced）的气候专业研究员丹尼尔·卡拉奇尼科夫（Daniel Kalachnikov）在谈到他 7 月中旬在明尼苏达州和安大略省看到的爆炸性火焰时说道。这些火灾产生的浓烟在接下来的几周内穿过中西部和东海岸，暂时使那里的城市成为世界上污染最严重的城市之列。“大热浪、大量火灾，从而导致烟雾影响，这种直接且清晰的联系对我来说像是一个觉醒时刻，”卡拉奇尼科夫说。在某些情况下，这种蔓延的烟雾在人口稠密的城市上空盘旋数日，导致空气质量恶化，从而引发呼吸道问题并增加哮喘发作、心脏病和中风的风险。“接触山火烟雾没有所谓的安全水平，”安大略省圭尔夫大学（University of Guelph）的森林生态专家泽夫·戈德莱德（Ze'ev Godlaid）表示。“我们只需要预料到这就是新的常态。”克利夫兰、丹佛、底特律、密尔沃基、纽约和费城等城市在 7 月期间都经历了至少四天中度或更高浓度的烟雾。在巴尔的摩、明尼阿波利斯和俄勒冈州波特兰，这一数字是三个中度烟雾日，而华盛顿特区和波士顿则有两个此类日子。在加拿大，卡尔加里、埃德蒙顿、蒙特利尔、渥太华、多伦多和温尼伯都经历了三到五个烟雾日，而胡安妮塔·马德里（Juanita Madrid）有三个，法国的比查姆（Beecham）有两个。在这些城市中的许多地方，火灾和烟雾几乎成了夏季唯一的事件。许多火灾发生在近期因巨大的热穹顶而经历破纪录高温的地区。热穹顶系统由于这些强大的高压系统系列而激增，从而增加了山火风险，卡拉奇尼科夫及加州大学默塞德分校其他研究人员的一项最新研究发现，从 。何塞·费尔南德斯（Jose Fernandez）周二在西班牙佩拉约斯-德-拉-皮科萨（Pelayos de la Picosa）的家中视察山火造成的破坏，这里距离马德里以西约 50 英里。“破纪录的温暖、干燥和 / 或低积雪量与这些火灾之间明显的重叠绝非巧合。将日益极端的火灾天气以及日益极端的山火本身与气候变暖联系起来的科学证据是明确的，”气候科学家丹尼尔·斯温（Daniel Swain）在关于整个半球状况的一系列社交媒体帖子中写道。今年夏天如此多火灾的背后可能有几个因素。改变的喷流风模式（部分与 lifetiles 和太平洋的海洋热浪有关）可能在起作用，北大西洋一个异常的冷水洞也可能是原因。喷流一直呈弧形向上并覆盖美国和西欧，其下方形成了热穹顶。但热穹顶本身并不会制造山火。“并不总是会有en-

“当出现异常的高温和干燥时，确实会触发山火爆发，”斯温（Swain）在他的一篇帖子中这样问道。“但这类条件极大地提高了上限，因此在变暖的世界中，某些事情成为了可能——而且有时，就像现在这样，这种增加的潜力将会变为现实。”

7月 1.6万.，来自加拿大的山火烟雾导致纽约出现雾霾天气。近日，消防员在遏制两国山火方面取得了进展；在德国周边地区，当局现已允许近 10万,000 人返回家中。路透社报道称，恢复工作已经开始。“考虑到生态系统和生计受到的破坏，受影响的社区将在很长一段时间内需要当局的支持，”红十字会欧洲地区负责人玛丽亚·阿尔卡萨尔·卡斯蒂利亚（Maria Alcazar Castilla）表示。“有些人需要重建房屋，恢复生计等等。所有这些在经济层面上的估算成本都非常高。”

世界上某些地区一直容易受到火灾的影响。加拿大拥有巨大的蒸汽驱动森林范围——规模大致相当于美国落基山脉以西的地区——道路稀少且人类人口稀疏。阿尔伯塔大学的山火研究员乔恩·贝弗利（Jon Beverly）表示，这类森林的演化是通过燃烧来实现更新的，但现在已变得更容易遭受更极端的火灾。“森林的变化速度不够快，无法在数据中像那样进行调整。这意味着这就是气候变化，”贝弗利说。

截至7月，加拿大约有 16,000 平方英里被烧毁。虽然本季度的火灾规模已高于 10 年平均水平，但普遍认为其进度尚不足以与 2023 和 2025. 年的极端火灾季节相媲美。7月山火产生的剧烈条件包括比彻姆（Beecham）的一场火灾，该火灾产生了自身的雷暴。这种现象被称为火积云（pyrocumulonimbus cloud），发生在山火的剧烈热量将一柱热空气和烟雾推向大气高层，在那里冷却并凝结成云时。由此产生的雷暴伴随着强风和雷击，会进一步助长火焰。

“它可能会持续一到三四个小时，且在此期间一直与火源相连。与此同时，火势又被这场产生的风暴所改变并增强，”美国海军研究实验室的气象学家迈克·弗罗姆（Mike Fromm）说。“这是一个反馈循环。”

现在，美国西部正准备迎接同样的局面。周六，一场由强风和高温驱动的快速移动山火席卷了斯波坎西北部，随后跨过斯波坎河，导致数千人撤离。在加利福尼亚州、亚利桑那州和内华达州，今年笼罩该地区的一个新热穹顶（heat dome）导致凤凰城等地的温度被挤压至高达 315 华氏度，而另一波极端高温可能会在未来几天席卷全国。

曾经支持柯林斯的民主党选民不再那么确定了

“当她投票支持 RFK Jr. 时，我彻底崩溃了，”一位前柯林斯支持者表示 作者：LEE GOODWIN 和 ALBERT KEMPF

—— 共和党参议员、政治强人苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）在这个蓝色州（民主党占主导的州）的胜利，一直建立在像凯特·布里德格姆（Kate Bridgham）这样的选民基础之上。“我之前给了她信任，”这位 63 岁的民主党人谈到她决定在 2026, 年投票给柯林斯，同时支持迪克森（Dickson）而非拜登时说道。“我倾向于比较温和，而且我过去认为她也是个温和派。”

但唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）第二次上台带来的冲击和显著影响动摇了布里德格姆，让她对柯林斯的印象大相径庭。与其他民主党人一样，布里德格姆对移民和海关执法局（ICE）被显著且激进地部署感到不安，以及他对行政权力的广泛使用，她表示这正在破坏民主的制衡机制。

7 月，一名 ICE 特工在一次交通拦截中，在仅 12 英里外的里奇菲尔德（Richfield）枪杀了 28 岁的 Co-holdman 移民兼快递司机，这引发了关于 在该州特权的争议。两周前，布里德格姆参加了一场 emerald's news fund 会议以讨论斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）情况，议员们在会上辩论是否要建立 处理中心。该设施——即枪杀移民的 特工开始工作的地方——现在成了每周抗议的目标，因为该设施就在布里德格姆店铺的邻近区域，而一小批抗议者则在 的办公园区外抗议。

“我很震惊，一个只想维持生计的年轻人竟然就这样在街上被枪杀了，”布里德格姆表示。

这次枪击事件只是特朗普第二任期活动的最新事例。根据对 20 多名缅因州选民的采访，1997 年的选举在参议员与民主党参议员以及倾向自由派的独立人士之间建立了联系，后者一直助力她的胜利。

商品和汽油的高昂价格——以及低迷的经济——也构成了挑战，因为柯林斯正在竞选第六任期，她的对手是杰克逊（Jackson），这位前州参议院议长在之前的提名人格雷厄姆·普鲁姆克（Graham Plumke）政治崩盘后被民主党参议员推举。

这位 73 岁的参议员在与 10 岁的杰克逊竞争的同时，正值民主党选民尤其在呼吁 promotional change，并且在乔·拜登（Joe Biden）退出 2026 年总统竞选后，对其他投资持怀疑态度。

分票选民（其中许多将柯林斯视为榜样的女性）在她在 2016 年投票确认布雷特·M·卡南（Brett M. Kernanagh）为最高法院大法官后，数量开始减少。但在特朗普更激进的第二任期中，一些人已经无法用同样的眼光看待她。

她与特朗普公开决裂的几次机会——最近一次是关于他的司法部长杰克·托德·布兰奇（Jack Todd Blanche）以及他的国防部长，以及关于他削减税收和部分社会服务的标志性法案——对他们来说还不够，因为她通常还是随党投票。

“当她投票支持 RFK Jr. 时，我彻底崩溃了，”布里德格姆说。

缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯今年正寻求第六任期，她长期以来一直依赖分票选民。尽管 RFK Jr. 现在领导国家卫生机构，但关于疫苗的情况。

“我觉得她只有在知道这无关紧要时，才会与她的政党唱反调。”

在投票支持 Kernanagh 时，Collins 引用了几个因素，包括他支持研发莱姆病（Leme disease）疫苗，这种疾病在缅因州尤为流行。Collins 在 2026 年以近 9 个百分点的优势获胜，证明了她的成功，此前在共和党对手在民调中落后于她的民主党挑战者时，她已变得充满希望。但 通过在缅因州农村地区获得巨大优势，并吸引了缅因州较为自由的沿海地区 2 个百分点的分票选民而获胜。第三方候选人——这次不会在选票上获胜——似乎也吸收了相当一部分原本可能投票给民主党人的选民。一项出口民调发现，2016, 有 51% 的民主党人投票给了 ，而研究该场选举的 Colby 教授 Daniel Huss 表示，包括波特兰以北沿海地区的“沉默民主党人”在内的选民，在两天的“跨党派”竞选中选择了分票投票。“他们不会在自家草坪上竖起 的标志，甚至可能会在选择上产生分歧，但他们会悄悄进入投票站”投票给她，Huss 说道。这些选民依然存在，他们称赞这位参议员的经验以及长期以来引导资源流向缅因州的历史，目前她担任参议院拨款委员会主席。来自波特兰以南沿海小镇 Boro 的 83 岁民主党人 Madeleine Thibwath 表示，她计划再次投票给 ，因为 为该州带来了资金，并且能够对特朗普施加影响。“我知道她在那儿待了 30 年，但她确实做了很多事，”她说。“她让海军基地保持开放，还有法律部门——各种各样的事情。”Thibwath 表示，她相信 在投票支持 Kernanagh 之前已经获得了相关信息，而 Kernanagh 后来投票推翻了罗诉韦德案（five v. Wade），并且这位参议员通常做她认为正确的事。Jackson 表示，他希望通过将自己的记录与硬核立场进行对比来争取这些选民，后者支持为 ICE 提供数十亿的补充资金。一个与参议院民主党人结盟的主要 PBC 正在广播中就此问题攻击她，称她起草了资助 ICE 的法案。但 的团队表示，Jackson 的记录过于激进，会令温和派反感，称他在职业生涯早期采取了“他可能”的立场反对关注，随后才转向左翼。“Jackson 在最近的竞选中将左翼政策借用自美国政府，”1997 年州发言人 Blake Kerona 在一份声明中说。“中间选民将在这次选举中面临一个明确的选择：一个可以伪装成立法者的党派，其整个职业生涯都在大型领导层中度过，还是一个私人独立领导者，其政策定义为与两党成员合作，为缅因州提供服务。” 正在投放广告，强调她的选民服务以及她为法规和零售医疗设施提供资金的记录，所有这些都展示了一个年轻时的 ，在 8 / 11 国家安全灾难中以 a24part1 方式做出回应，回顾到一次晚期的极化。根据新罕布什尔大学最近的一项民调，6% 的认同为民主党的潜在选民和 62% 的独立人士计划在秋季投票给 。这低于 历史上在这些群体中的表现。总体而言，40% 的潜在选民表示计划投票给 Jackson，40% 支持 ，5% 表示尚未决定。然而，缅因州的民调一直以来都以不可靠而著称。在沿海的 Presidwest，76 岁的退休教师 Margaret Huss 表示，她计划在 12 月投票反对 。这位民主党人曾连续支持 ，她将 视为捍卫女性权利的“引入者”的一部分。在 投票确认 Kernanagh 之后，Huss 在 2026 年之前感到很失望，但她仍然坚持支持她，因为她对竞争对手、民主党人及前州议会议长 Sam Gideon 了解不足。

“那只是表象，”她谈到柯林斯对克南纳（Kernanagh）的投票时说道。在第二个特朗普政府期间，哈斯（Huss）更加深入地参与到了政治之中。她每晚观看新闻，并对特朗普政府在……以及受欢迎的 Rebelachee Hurdle's Cox Richardson 期间采取的行动所发表的惊人声明表示不满。她的每周缝纫圈和读书会大多在讨论政治。“我正在让这个国家在我的生命结束前回归正轨，所以我更加敢于发声，并且一直在思考这件事，”她说。哈斯经常打电话给参议员的办公室以表达她的观点，她希望柯林斯能更强有力地与特朗普决裂。“她不能公开表态吗？她不能像约翰·麦凯恩（John McCann）那样吗？”她问道。

其他人则在权衡选票时更多地考虑自己的银行账户。“她从其他人那里拿钱，却没有把它给我们这些普通人，”54岁的独立选民托马斯·布兰德（Thomas Brand）说道，他在2020年支持了柯林斯，在2024年支持了唐纳德·特朗普。居住在韦斯特布鲁克（Westbrook）并领取残疾津贴的布兰德表示，她后悔投票给特朗普，她说特朗普在帮助所有人方面做得不够。“我就是不喜欢特朗普，也不喜欢苏珊·柯林斯，我认为他们两个都该走人了，”她说。

来自布罗克利（Brockley）的100岁独立选民布莱克劳恩斯（Blacklawns）表示，她不确定今年秋天是否会再次投票给柯林斯。她说柯林斯为缅因州做了很多好事，一直是女性的强大榜样，但认为她应该退位，给年轻领导者让路。“她应该统一，我很抱歉，”布莱克劳恩斯说。“我今年赢了。她工作的时间比我长。真的，女士，我得回家了。”她还担心由罗尼·桑德斯（Ronnie Sanders，第5-9区北）参议员支持的民粹主义者杰克逊（Jackson）对他来说可能过于自由。“在我们中间，我们更保守，”她谈到该州时说道。

在斯卡伯勒（Scarborough），在7月下旬的一次镇议会会议上，数十名居民表达了他们支持关闭或搬迁缅因州 ICE 设施的意愿，并且只有极少数人反对这一努力。这在朋友之间重新引发了愤怒，他们说柯林斯在他们这个蓝色州（民主党主导州）的总统竞选活动中表现不佳。“苏珊·柯林斯不会采取任何行动，”一名发言的斯卡伯勒居民说。“她刚刚投票给 ICE 更多资金……我们需要战士。”

枪击事件影响了她在其政党中一位反复无常的总统面前的影响力——而且她说，民主党任命的……她曾提议除非特朗普的政策发生改变。柯林斯敦促对枪击事件进行独立调查，并要求国土安全部部长马雷尼马·马林（Marhenyma Malin）调查缅因州内未经分析的 车辆行程。马林宣布暂时在全国范围内暂停这些步骤，但随后很快被特朗普撤销。柯林斯还努力在最近的一项拨款法案中包含 $10，用于 特工的共同开支以及民主规划的额外资金。

在斯卡伯勒会议之后，柯林斯宣布， 的代理主任告诉她，所有在现场的特工将在 8 月底前佩戴身体摄像头。她强调，她为缅因州准备了另一个承诺。他们将首先通知她的州。

邮报揭露营利性贸易学校的 GI 法案骗局

记者分析数据库，获取数千份文件 作者：CRAIG WHITLOCK

两年前，时任《华盛顿邮报》记者 Lisa Rein 和我从消息人士处获悉，GI 法案计划被欺诈行为所玷污。该请求和营利性贸易学校在退伍军人中引发了大量投诉，且退伍军人事务部（VA）并未对该计划采取太多措施。相反，VA 官员拒绝了我们就该问题进行采访的请求。

为了进行调查，《邮报》向 VA 及其监察长办公室共同提交了记录请求，寻求投诉数据库和关于 GI 法案计划的其他数据，以及来自针对所有学校欺诈调查的部分信息数据。政府以隐私问题为由拒绝了我们的请求。我们根据《信息自由法》（2016）提起上诉，针对 VA 及其监察长办公室以及美国处罚（American Penalty）提起诉讼。《邮报》在联邦法院提起诉讼，认为 GI 法案计划是否被妥善管理的政策利益超过了欺诈者和违规者的隐私权。

法律程序虽然漫长，但在经过数月后，政府拒绝了部分协助，但我们收到了 20 起欺诈调查的 8,000 页文件，这些调查最终导致了刑事定罪或民事罚款。我还审阅了超过 1万,000 页的联邦法院记录和审判笔录，进一步揭示了这些骗局是如何运作的。我的《邮报》同事 Andrew Ra 分析了数据并发现，未经认证的学校平均给纳税人带来的成本高于经过认证的学校——且引发退伍军人投诉的率高出五倍。

此外，我前往加利福尼亚州和爱达荷州采访了四所贸易学校的前所有者，他们因欺诈被定罪并被判处监禁。所有被访者都非常坦率地谈到了他们通过 GI 法案计划获得的收入，以及由于监管不力，该计划是如何被误导的。以下是几个案例：

骗局学校为极短课程收取天价学费

VA 规定了它将支付多少学费——目前大多数学校每名学生每年最高为 $3万,000——但它对于课程必须持续多久没有标准。一些营利性贸易学校通过为仅持续几天或几周的课程收取天价费用来欺骗医院。一家“专家”法律机构每名学生收取 $1.4万,000 的学费，教授退伍军人如何种植草坪，而该课程仅持续四或五天。另一所贸易学校收取 $1.8万,000 的学费，向退伍军人演示如何用混凝土制作湖石。该课程持续了八天。

在“好”学校中，退伍军人成了共犯

消息人士称，营利性贸易学校在退伍军人中引发了大量投诉，且退伍军人事务部（VA）并未对该问题采取太多措施。

骗局

十多所“好”学校因提供虚假内容而被定罪或罚款，在这些内容中，退伍军人可以缺课或无需工作。在这些案例中，学校从 VA 领取了数百万美元的学费——而退伍军人每人每月获得 $1,000 到 $4,000 的住房补贴。虽然一些虚假学校的所有者和经营者已入狱，但参与此类案件的退伍军人几乎从未被起诉。《邮报》在过去十年中仅能确认一起退伍军人因在虚假学校注册而通过住房资金骗取 VA 资金而被刑事起诉的案例。

退伍军人事务部未对学校进行审查，业主无需通过背景调查

根据联邦法律，寻求根据《吉法案》（GI Bill）招收退伍军人的非认证贸易学校业主必须具有“良好的道德品质和声誉”——但他们并不被要求接受独立的刑事背景或信用审查。结果，拥有犯罪记录或有欺诈或逃税历史的人员获得了退伍军人事务部（VA）的批准来培训退伍军人。《华盛顿邮报》采访了一所圣安东尼奥职业学校的创始人，尽管他此前在联邦法院承认欺诈罪并自称曾是毒贩，但该校仍获得了$15 million的《吉法案》资金。

退伍军人事务部告知《华盛顿邮报》，已加强打击身份欺诈的力度

退伍军人事务部官员拒绝了《华盛顿邮报》的采访请求，也没有直接回答关于《吉法案》计划问题的有限书面清单。在的一份声明中，退伍军人事务部新闻秘书奎因·海文（Quinn Haven）表示，《华盛顿邮报》关于过去十年左右时间里因欺诈损失超过$500 million的调查结果，仅代表该期间“退伍军人事务部教育预算的0.3%”，“掩盖了保护退伍军人和纳税人免受欺诈是退伍军人事务部首要任务的事实”。海文表示，退伍军人事务部今年创建了一个为学校分配欺诈风险评分的机制，并成立了一个合规、调查和执法部门，以发现欺诈风险并将案件移交给监察长办公室。他补充道：“退伍军人事务部正以前所未有的力度专注于保护退伍军人和纳税人免受欺诈。”

重罪记录未能阻止这名诈骗者从 GI 法案中骗取 $1.50万 万

GI BILL OVER A6 stick。“我有 10 份离谱的账单。我告诉你，那边根本不知道我要求了多少 s——，”26 岁的克罗夫特（Croft）回忆道。“他们就是抓不到我。”

根据《邮报》的一项调查，Universal K-9 是 30 所 法案职业学校（其中大多数未经认证）之一，由于税务监管缺失，这些学校合计向政府开出了超过 5亿美元 的账单。在 6 月，德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会（Texas Veterans Commission）负责批准 法案项下的学校。根据 VA 的规定，职业学校不需要获得学术认证，但必须证明其拥有课程、合格的课程以及足够的教室空间。

克罗夫特表示，由于不想引起人们对他过去的关注，在 Universal K-9 于 2021. 申请 法案资格时，他淡化了自己在学校中的角色。在文书中，他将自己描述为“运营经理”而非所有者或首席讲师，尽管他告诉《邮报》，他实际上兼任这两个角色。

“我并不是想诈骗任何人，”他说。“我只是想合法地成为一所经 VA 批准的学校，因为我觉得我能提供的东西是非常有效的。”

根据委员会的文件和法庭证词，德克萨斯州委员会终止了克罗夫特的申请——并非因为他的犯罪记录，而是因为 Universal K-9 没有永久的培训设施以及其他住房问题。在 2016, 后在他再次申请后，委员会批准了该学校。

克罗夫特告诉《邮报》，委员会从未询问他是否有犯罪记录。德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会的官员拒绝就该学校发表兴趣。在的一份声明中，委员会指出 VA 不要求对学校进行，但不需要进行信用检查。但委员会表示，它确保 法案学校“在遵守所有州法律法规的情况下运行，并且它们在仅有的州级机构——例如该州的州法中正确注册。该州对职业学校有自己的许可要求。”

在州政府批准后，Universal K-9 招收了一批退伍军人，使用 2 年六个月在德克萨斯州执法部门工作。克罗夫特说，在巅峰时期，该学校产生的收入为 $500,000 每月，尽管 法案资金仅占其中的一小部分。

在 2019, 的一场债券审判后，一名联邦法官判定布拉德利·克罗夫特（Bradley (Brad) Croft）犯有电汇欺诈、加重身份盗窃、洗钱和提交虚假纳税申报单罪。

根据联邦法院记录，在三年期间，约 100 名退伍军人就读于 Universal K-9，给 VA 造成了约 $1500万 的损失。该学校的基础课程为期两周，收费 $4,000。高级课程持续两周，费用超过 $2.1万,000.

2016, 年，教学工作戛然而止，FBI 的特工、FBI 和 VA 监察长办公室突袭了该学校的国防财产，并以欺诈相关罪名逮捕了克罗夫特。科学安全文件显示，一名德克萨斯州公共安全部调查员在与克罗夫特的过去核实后，向 VA 监察长提交报告，称克罗夫特伪造了其作为缉毒犬训练师的资历。

根据《邮报》通过《信息自由法》获得的 VA 记录，在 Universal K-9 的 法案申请书中，关于电汇的部分显示其正在授课。联邦法院记录显示，一名被列为认证讲师的人员已被罚款近两年。

根据法庭证词，其他所谓的讲师表示他们不在该校工作，或者未被允许被列为该校 法案申请书中的培训人员。检方还指控克罗夫特将该校数十名辍学者伪造成经过验证的能够执行警务工作的人员——而事实上，这些认证是捏造的，且他从当地动物福利机构窃取了内容。

他们指控他欺诈获取 GI Bill 资金，并将其用于支付房地产、一笔 $40万,000 的汽车奖金、高性能个人水上摩托艇——以及一项花费超过 $1万,000. 的阴茎植入手术。他被判处近 20 年监禁，并被要求支付 $1500万 的赔偿金。“证据是压倒性的，”美国地方法院法官大卫·埃特纳（David Etna）在 Croft 2021 年的量刑听证会上表示。Croft 在审判期间否认有不当行为。他在监狱中服刑约六年半后获释，原因是良好的信用记录。他说，由于联邦量刑指南的变更，三天后，他一直致力于为执法人员和监狱人员提供犬类训练业务，通过大规模的 GI Bill 资金恶意利用。在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时，他报告了他的性行为主张。他表示 Universal K-9 提供了优质的教育，并帮助了退伍军人和犬类，反驳了政府的激励措施。他辩称，被指控欺骗退伍军人事务部（VA）的真实原因是执法官员想要因为他的药物剂量部分而惩罚他。“他们利用 VA 的事情来抓我，因为之前他们没能因为那些破事抓到我，”他说，“我这辈子做过很多破事，但这件我没做。”VA 官员拒绝了《华盛顿邮报》的采访请求。他们还拒绝直接回答本报道的书面问题，包括是否应允许未来的欺诈者拥有或经营接收 资金的学校。然而，VA 新闻秘书奎恩·海文（Quinn Haven）在的一份声明中告诉众议院，关于 学校的欺诈者应由州机构负责。“问题在于，多年来许多州级官僚在欺诈者洗劫政府计划时一直视而不见，”他说。在 Croft 的审判期间，德克萨斯州退伍军人委员会的一位高级官员承认，该机构在对该州 职业学校进行定期监督方面感到吃力。“通常我们尝试每年至少去所有学校一次，”时任委员会教育项目主任布福斯·科本（Bufus Coburn）通知道。但他说，人员限制使得这“几乎不可能”，并补充说每两三年检查一次更为现实。根据该委员会的数据，德克萨斯州目前有 2,300 家获准接收 学生的机构（16 行，20）是非认证的职业学校。该委员会只有 35 名工作人员来监管该州所有的 项目。在给《华盛顿邮报》的声明中，该委员会将人员不足归咎于 VA。它表示，根据一项合同协议，VA 决定了州机构负责批准和监督 学校的感知金额。该委员会补充说，VA 根据一个“专有”公式为这些工作人员提供资金，并且“不与各州分享该模型”。姓名：学校。croft@关于此报告。--- 12 10 A7

前空军部长安全许可被撤销

肯德尔在五角大楼采取行动后正考虑其法律选择 作者：ANY B WANG

特朗普政府披露，曾在乔·拜登总统任内担任空军部长的弗兰克·肯德尔（Frank Kendall）的安全许可已被撤销，指控其向媒体泄露了关于“空军一号”的机密信息。

肯德尔最近在《纽约时报》和《华尔街日报》的报道中被引用，这些报道审视了由卡塔尔赠送的波音 747 的安全特性，该飞机是唐纳德·特朗普总统目前将其作为官方总统专机使用的飞机。

肯德尔告诉《时报》，考虑到卡塔尔王室将其赠送给美国后改装速度之快，他对“看到这架飞机在美国境外使用”感到“惊讶”。在接受《日报》采访时，肯德尔对该飞机像特朗普所说的那样“缺失”安全特性表示怀疑。

周五晚上，五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔（Sean Parnell）在 X 上表示，由于“未经授权泄露关于空军一号能力的机密信息”，肯德尔将被剥夺接触机密信息的权限以及担任任何敏感职位的能力。

“独立地，保护机密信息是一项不可协商的职责。那些违反该规则的人将被禁止享有访问特权以及任何需要该特权的角色，”帕内尔写道。

周六，曾在奥巴马政府期间在国防部任职的肯德尔告诉《华盛顿邮报》，针对国防部长皮特·霍加斯（Pete Hogarth）撤销其许可的行为，他正在考虑其法律选择。

“我一直极其小心，没有说任何可能被列为机密的话，且据我所知，我没有说过任何机密内容，”肯德尔在给《邮报》的一份声明中表示。“到目前为止，还没有人告诉我我究竟泄露了什么。当然，我一直是对本届政府非常直言不讳的批评者。”

前官员保留其安全许可并不罕见，这使他们能够在需要时为现任领导层提供建议，在政府咨询委员会任职，或与某些承包商合作。

自从特朗普去年宣布这一异常安排以来，卡塔尔赠送的这架豪华飞机引发了伦理、法律和安全方面的担忧。

上个月，在特朗普从土耳其北约（NATO）峰会返回途中的部分行程中，在最后一刻更换了飞机，这引发了关于新“空军一号”安全区域的新疑问。

特朗普否认行程第一段更换飞机是出于安全考虑——但他也暗示，某些势力可能试图袭击他的飞机，称他是对方暗杀名单上的“第一名”。

白宫上个月表示，特朗普将暂时恢复乘坐旧款“空军一号”，而卡塔尔赠送的飞机将接受未指明的“额外升级和增强”，预计需要约一个月时间完成。

前总统拜登的前列腺癌已扩散，亨特·拜登称

其子还告诉 BBC，他从父亲那里获得的赦免“并不糟糕” 作者：BRANDON RACKS

前总统乔·拜登之子亨特·拜登公开谈论其父亲的前列腺癌情况，表示由于疾病扩散，其父亲承受了巨大的痛苦。在接受“BBC Newsnight”的一次广泛采访中，拜登表示，如果“没有父亲提供”帮助，那么情况将是“真实的”。他说，癌症已经扩散并“无可匹敌地”进入了“他的家和兄弟”。他表示，尽管如此，乔·拜登仍继续就他关心的议题向公众提供支持。“他如此深信这个国家，”亨特·拜登说，“只要他还活着，我向你们保证，他将继续关心。”

他还讨论了对自己获得父亲的一项预先赦免的感受，称这对国家来说并不好。BBC 记者朱迪思·奥康奈尔（Judith O'Connell）采访拜登时，他说他“认为作为一名父亲，给儿子一份赦免并不‘太远’”。在 2000 年代初期，尽管此前承诺不干预亨特·拜登的法律问题，但前总统乔·拜登还是为其子提供了全面且无条件的赦免。

亨特·拜登在 2024 年与父亲乔·拜登以及总统的妹妹瓦莱丽·拜登（Valerie Biden）在白宫合影。

亨特·拜登表示，这“不公平”，并且在获得父亲兼总统的这种待遇方面，他是“世界上最发达的人”。“这对我们的宪法有好处吗？对美国人民有好处吗？对我父亲的政治遗产有好处吗？”他问道。“没有。在所有方面都没有。”

然而，拜登表示，他们在赦免发生之前并未讨论此事。他对此“永远感激，因为我认为唐纳德·特朗普已经证明了他正是我的父亲认为他会成为的人，就涉及 105 岁居民而言。”批评者有充分的理由限制这一术语。

亨特·拜登说，但随后他问道：“如果你父亲没有为我这样做，你会怎么想？”

在父亲担任总统期间的大部分时间里，亨特·拜登远离聚光灯，但近几个月来，他提高了公众曝光度，包括在社交媒体上与批评者和支持者互动，并接受媒体采访，包括接受右翼教授坎迪斯·欧文斯（Candice Owens）的采访。

在 BBC 的采访中，奥康奈尔还询问这位前总统之子，他长期陷入药物、酒精和法律问题的深渊是否“加速了”乔·拜登健康的衰退。“这是一个很难和你谈论的话题，”奥康奈尔说，“但你认为你是否让乔·拜登的健康状况变得更糟了？”

在停顿之后，拜登回答道：“当然是的。”

前总统拒绝对他关上大门，让他离开，但压力造成了影响。“我的父亲从未让我逃脱责任，”他说，“但我的父亲所做的是始终明确表示，当我准备回来时，大门是敞开的。”

在回答关于父亲寻求第二任期这一争议性决定的问题时，拜登表示，他对乔·拜登没有施加任何影响，也没有任何人施加。然而，对于前总统在 2008 年 6 月与特朗普辩论期间的状态，他同样表示反对，当时乔·拜登难以完成句子。

“我父亲一出来我就能感觉到有些不对劲，”亨特·拜登说，“他没有那种百星级的状态。”

BBC 的 2008 年辩论揭示，他被诊断出患有药物相关疾病和前列腺癌，且已转移至他的家。

皮罗，特朗普的长期拥护者，因反思池事件而失宠

第三（房间）想法——然后，当然，事情变得有价值，一位认识皮罗数十年的人士在谈到她目前与总统的关系困境时说道。关注皮罗作为法官、地区检察官、保守派作家和电视名人经历的人表示，她至少是一名长期热衷于打击犯罪和保护受害者的检察官，并且在特朗普要求她领导美国国内其中一个联邦检察官办公室时，她找到了新的目标感。她的批评者则认为，她在司法部中的表现与皮罗一样，愿意通过起诉或测试系统边界，来服务于特朗普的商业利益和服从要求。

关于皮罗担任联邦检察官期间的智力表现，以及她如何处理面对特朗普前沿检察官的情况，本报道基于法院记录以及对 12 位熟悉关键事件人士的采访。几乎所有人在要求匿名的情况下发表了看法，以便在她的工作似乎岌岌可危之时，对皮罗提供坦率的评估。皮罗通过发言人拒绝了采访请求。

她的麻烦始于特朗普政府安装了一个新的美国法律变体——林肯法案，这是今年 7 月 4 日推论的首次预期。法院记录显示，皮罗的恐慌迅速变成了第一个面对校长的浮动状态，一些观看过酒吧的人被逮捕。美国内部战斗一直处于该池的“基本绑定”状态，皮罗最初向警方提交了刑事诉讼，其中包括一名曾被指控一项破坏财产重罪的前奥运独木舟运动员。在她的纽约早晨联盟中，皮罗在新闻发布会上指责该被告，称他不是那个旨在毒害我们的国家资源、我们的免疫力和我们的公共数千的人。

但皮罗在几周后突然撤销了所有四个案件，指责内部部门误导检察官提出这些缺乏支持的刑事指控，并很快进入了椭圆形办公室的奥夫科夫侄子身边。一名担任了数十年皮罗刑事指控的纽约前法官和地区检察官表示，皮罗周一带着移民条款来到白宫，而美国检察官部门已决定与一家不支持该线路的公司签订一份有用的合同，据熟悉该战争的人士透露。

该法官被宣布为爆炸物，比美国检察官办公室在镇上的时间多 20 年，该办公室声明“损害是由局部安装造成的，且美国检察官办公室”。皮罗亲自审查并申请了该案件，而美国检察官则对诉讼文件未能迅速移交感到沮丧。

作为华盛顿特区最高检察官，亨特·皮罗花了一年多时间应对总统的要求。据了解其想法的人士称，她向检察官表示，以及她的时间，他们“提供”了任何针对涉嫌破坏者建立胜诉案件的机会。内部秘书道格·辛普森在 X 上反驳称，“证据很明确”，破坏行为损坏了过去。一名熟悉皮罗想法的人将她参加白宫会议的方式描述为“坚守立场，保持专注，陈述理由，并做正确的事”。

特朗普与皮罗之间因在国家纪念碑推动恐慌而产生的矛盾，发生在皮罗对一些批评政府军事行动的立法者，以及当时的联邦储备委员会职责发起刑事调查之后，因为 H. 鲍威尔拒绝了特朗普要求其辞职或启动低利率案件的要求。

一名联邦法官拒绝了 Pirro 在美联储调查中发布子小组的尝试，她随后在未提出刑事指控的情况下关闭了该调查。但特朗普在将此案视为功劳时推动了她的建议，大陪审团宣布坚持民主组织，特朗普很快转向其他问题。Pirro 的办公室在反映池（Reflecting Pool）法院提交的文件中表示，检察官正在自愿撤销指控，特朗普则称 “像雨伞一样折叠（屈服）了”。“我只是认为这场战争大错特错，”特朗普周三告诉记者，并指出国家公园管理局的压制已告知当局他们看到了行动中的处女。在描述与承包商的问题时，他称之为“几个小问题”，并表示他尚未决定是否让 继续留任。“特朗普继续他的批评。周五，他在社交媒体上表示，美国检察官安德鲁·普里切特（Andrew Pritchett）可能会揭露她匆忙做出的决定。” 几十年前在纽约的社交圈中与特朗普结交，但他们从未共事，而导致他们公开决裂的潜在原因之一是，两人都更习惯于表达观点而非屈从于他人，一位长期观察他们在一起的知情人士表示：“她非常尊敬总统，”此人补充道，“他们的关系在第一次转化为专业下属关系。”

70 岁的 领导着美国境内唯一一个拥有起诉地方犯罪并完成联邦案件首要授权的美国检察官办公室。特朗普在 2019 年 5 月任命她为临时美国检察官。她随后获得了参议院的确认，得到了共和党人的支持，而特朗普该职位的首选人埃德·马丁（Ed Martin）未能获得支持。她的名字出现在一个深蓝色的城市，在 2008 年的大选中，只有 6.5% 的华盛顿特区选民投票给特朗普。去年，在特朗普宣布华盛顿特区进入犯罪紧急状态，并调集联邦官员团队和国民警卫队部队进行干涸溪流（dry stream）搜寻后，联邦黑色的移民突袭和街道准入席卷了数百人。 经常在激烈的社区会议和法院中承受反弹，在这些地方，陪审团否决了针对一些美元巨头的指控，并判定其他一些联邦官员无罪。“事实是，随着联邦力量的激增——无论你喜欢与否，不喜欢它——犯罪率下降了，” 在去年 10 月一个紧张的周末（当时有 12 人被枪击）之后，在位于华盛顿东北部的华盛顿特区政治 1988 地区办公室告诉数十名社区成员。根据华盛顿特区警方的统计，去年的免疫力（Immunities）下降了约三分之一，总计 127 起。今年又下降了 10%，截至周四为 65 起。参考和财产犯罪也有所下降，但根据警方数据，今年使用危险武器的袭击事件下降了 60%，共有 700 起。“特朗普总统说，‘我要让华盛顿特区变得安全且美丽，’” 在 10 月的会议上补充道。“你知道吗？他会做到的……你们每天在推动，对抗陪审团，对抗法官。”在社交媒体上，她频繁发布 20 篇类似信息，将城市变得更安全归功于总统。

与 共事过的人将她描述为一个双重老板，能迅速掌握法律收入，且不像她在电视上的公众形象那样具有攻击性。她采取了特定课程以在某些力量中瓦解国际加密货币问题，并呼吁华盛顿特区议会加强其针对地面犯罪的持续法律，并就加强距离暴力立法（distance to violence legislation）的努力与市长穆里尔·E·鲍恩（Muriel E. Bowen，民主党）进行质询。据了解她的人称， 对她的时尚选择尤为在意，以她自己的风格著称，并且与一些在夜间恢复-鲨鱼-顶级（recovery-shark-prime）中最为出众的演员关系友好。 试图重建

美国检察官办公室的案件，这由工作人员部门以及曾调查 2024年1月6日 美国国会大厦袭击事件的马布尔（Marble）检察官小组讨论。据两名知情人士透露，司法部目前正向签署承诺在办公室工作两年的律师提供 $1万,000 的奖金；由于未获授权讨论此事，这两名人士在要求保密的情况下发表了看法。“我认为，皮罗（Pierre）美国检察官在过去一年半的任期内，领导了一场前所未有的诉讼努力，旨在将这座城市彻底改变，使其成为我们所有人都能安全居住的地方，”代理司法部长托德·比梅特（Todd Bimette）在周三的新闻发布会上表示，这表现出了对皮罗办公室显著的支持。比梅特补充说，特朗普被允许解雇任何美国检察官。尽管皮罗的办公室在过去一年中于美国地方法院的陪审团审判记录参差不齐，但该办公室并未出现重大失误。支持的案件包括：针对在美国纳税者的案件、一名 35 岁国会实习生的计费问题、国会区外一对年轻夫妇被枪杀致死的案件。去年的任务中，包括一起导致一名国民警卫队成员死亡、另一名受伤的袭击事件，以及 61 岁的科尔·杨（Cole Young）涉嫌在白宫通信期间企图暗杀特朗普的案件。去年的任务中，一起关于美国轰炸 Red Ash Flight 101 航班的涉嫌恐怖分子审判被推迟，其中一个小组被要求今年前往华盛顿特区，皮罗的办公室赢得了检察官的支持。但批评者称，皮罗削弱了检察官的自主权，并增加了他们的工作量，要求他们对每个案件寻求尽可能多的指控。法官和公众批评者指责皮罗的办公室在特朗普的联邦执法期间提起了一些基于不完整或粗劣调查的案件，导致案件中出现多次实例。美国检察官办公室在被告入狱后才讨论指控。“我认为许多美国人感觉到，在特朗普的美国，起诉检察官的原因并非出于公共安全，”乔治城大学法学教授保罗·巴特勒（Paul Butler）在关于皮罗担任美国检察官记录的电子邮件中表示。“我们现在看到许多陪审员在仔细审查案件，我认为从法律角度来看，这是系统应当运作的良好状态。”长期担任辩护律师、在华盛顿特区执业的保罗（Paul）回忆说，他第一次接触皮罗是在 2008 年代，当时她是威斯特彻斯特县（Westchester County）地区检察官，而他当时在纽约为面临死刑的人提供辩护。他说，由于她准备竞选州检察长或州长，她将死刑案件视为政治助力，但她现在对案件有了明显的陈述。随后该案件在美国被保留，用于她的电视事业。弗洛伊德（Floyd）在谈到特朗普的整体任期时说：“美国检察官，少数办公室发现，成为一名负责任的检察官有时是一种可行的冒犯。”他指出，美国检察官埃里克·S·德拉诺（Eric S. Delano）在担任弗吉尼亚东区临时美国检察官期间至关重要。该检察官在对前 FBI 局长詹姆斯·E·科纳里（James E. Conary）和纽约州总检察长卡莱尔·詹姆斯（Carlisle James）提出刑事指控时，行为在法律上是不道德的。检察官办公室没有案件，因为据称证据太弱，无法提交法庭。“如果你是一名正式的美国检察官，而你不在特朗普的意愿之内，你就会被撤职，”弗洛伊德说。关于皮罗在反思池（Reflecting Pool）案件中的决定，他补充道：“在顶住特朗普压力方面，她获得了一些赞誉。”亨特（Hunter）的新作批评皮罗的办公室抹去了 1月6日 规则中最严重的定罪——针对极右翼分子的证据共谋案件，弗洛伊德以及其他人对此使用了肯普（Kemp）等人的说法。该案件涉及 6 个关键点。

根据在审判中提交的证据，宇航员群体的成员之所以形成，是因为她是国会的一员。据知情人士透露，皮罗（Pirro）曾在其法院文件中签署，将三项指控视为错误。但她拒绝受理三个新案件，即便联邦法官们认为，撤销针对危害国家罪行的定罪将产生历史性后果。Perry Bunt，以及Rootsash和联邦医疗委员会的这份报告。--- 2020年[注：此处年份疑似OCR误读，应为2026年]8月9日，星期日 华盛顿邮报 12 10 A9

黑人占多数选区被抹除后，田纳西州选民投票率激增

作者：CLARK RICE MUSEK, GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER 摄影：BRAND THOMAS

在田纳西州一个黑人占多数的县，周四举行的众议院初选民主党投票率激增至参议院以来的最高水平，这是重新划分选区可能正在激发整个南部黑人选民积极性的最新迹象。

在包括孟菲斯在内的谢尔比县（Shelby County）周四举行的美国众议院民主党州初选中，五分之一的活跃注册选民投了票，其投票率百分比是 2016. 年类似竞选的两倍多。组织者表示，此次投票激增是由于对共和党领导的立法机构采取行动拆分该州唯一一个黑人占多数的国会选区而感到愤怒，此前美国最高法院在今年取消了《投票权利法》中的少数族裔选民保护措施。

立法者将谢尔比县的黑人选民分散到延伸至农村白人社区的那些独立选区中。投票权利组织“组织田纳西孟菲斯”（Organize Tennessee Memphis）主席肯希·奈特（Kenshi Knight）表示：“人们感到被孤立了。该州非裔美国人选票的一部分被拆分，人们真的将其视为个人攻击——你们试图进入我们的县，拆分我们的县并分化我们的选票！而没有什么比通过投票来反击更好的方式了。”

唐纳德·特朗普总统已敦促各州重新绘制国会选区，以帮助共和党在今年秋季的选举中维持对众议院的控制。最高法院取消《投票权利法》中保护措施的政策，使得路易斯安那州国家民主党（LDP）绘制新地图以稀释黑人投票权力，引发了更多关于过去 40 年中 1000 个权利要点正在被摧毁的担忧。

但这些行动激励了黑人选民，他们已经超越了城市，影响到了州级层面——并在南卡罗来纳州的初选中以历史性的数量出现。这种增长开始促使南卡罗来纳州立法机构放弃拆分一个黑人占多数选区的计划。在遭到大量反对后，该州立法机构也选择不采取行动。

“人们对于整个南部正在发生的事情感到非常激动，”奈特说。

周四，选民在孟菲斯的斯普林菲尔德浸信会教堂内填写选票。众议院初选投票率激增，倡导者将其归因于对重新划分选区的愤怒。“人们需要向美国其他地区展示，这不是对待选民的方式。”

在过去的几周里，民主党人和投票权利组织在田纳西州加班加点工作，以应对当地州长、一个美国参议院席位以及该州九个众议院选区初选选举的巨大压力，尽管共和党在 11 月的这些比赛中占据绝对优势。

“像昨晚这样的夜晚让你知道，情况并非毫无希望，”孟菲斯奥特山传教浸信会教堂（Altmountain Missionary Baptist Church）的牧师厄尔·费舍尔（Earle Fisher）说。“我们之中有员工，以及一群在重新划分选区后发起投票率提升行动的城市领导者。”

孟菲斯居民哈莫尼·卢卡斯（Harmony Lucas），50, 岁，是帮助提高投票率的年轻选民之一——她敦促朋友、家人甚至同事一起前往投票站。卢卡斯说，她过去也参加过投票，但共和党拆分该州唯一黑人占多数选区的努力“让我意识到，我必须更加认真地确保我的选票被听到。它很重要。”

创办谢尔比县选民联盟（Shelby County Voter Alliance）以提高选民参与度的伊恩·兰多夫（Ian Randolph）将投票率的提高部分归功于此类努力，包括工会和其他公民组织。近几个月来，他们组织了测试活动和电话银行，并挨家挨户地走访选民。

“任何触及选民的事情，我们都会参与其中，”兰多夫说。“开展这些

“这些工作能帮我们获得更高的投票率。”田纳西州资深的民主党国会议员史蒂夫·科恩（Steve Cohen）在代表的第5选区经过重新划分后，决定不再寻求连任。贾斯蒂斯·里尔顿（Justice Reardon）——一位富有魅力的黑人牧师，因2023年在谢尔比（Shelby）国会大厦抗议后被州议会剥夺资格而受到全国关注，他即便面对民主党的审查，仍决定发起这场艰苦的战斗以接替科恩。在周四晚上的获胜演说中，弗朗索瓦（Francois）将自己的参选描述为一次反抗选区重新划分和削弱《投票权法》的联盟行动，称这些步骤是“一次公然企图将像我们这样的人排除在权力之外，并企图让我们放弃的尝试”。共和党战略专家沃德·贝克（Ward Baker）目前在第5选区为共和党提名人布伦特·泰勒（Brent Taylor）工作，他认为黑人选民投票人数增加是因为对选区重新划分感到愤怒的观点并不准确。“这是很长时间以来第一次出现竞争激烈的初选，而且有几个人在参选，”贝克说。他保证，总体而言，共和党选民仍以大幅领先优势胜过民主党。除了选区重新划分，兰多夫（Randolph）表示，这个黑人占多数的县的选民还受到其他问题的激励，包括州政府企图接管孟菲斯-谢尔比县学校，以及联邦移民局特工和国民警卫队在市内的部署。进入今年秋季的大选，民主党的任务变得更加艰巨。田纳西州第5选区曾是该州唯一的四个席位之一，现在在共和党的“新法院”中被评为第一。联邦报告显示，该选区在2016年以22个百分点的优势支持特朗普。 “昨晚所有出来投票的人——到11月需要增加一倍，”奈特（Knight）说。费舍尔（Fisher）表示，他和其他领袖一直在计划另一次“引导箔片”活动，呼吁参与人数要超过今年春天那次超过1,000人的规模。周四的活动让人们对11月产生了一定程度的谨慎乐观。 “至少证明了我们的做法有效，”费舍尔说。“这是那种你可以将其标记为胜利并在此基础上继续推进的情况，但它并不像是一个最终的胜利标签。”美国政府发送此邮件，对您的报告做出贡献。

旧金山长期运行的非营利组织将关闭，因市府在打击犯罪方面采取更强硬立场

预算被削减，因民主党人对犯罪的态度发生转变 作者：KATHI MEYTLER

旧金山审前分流项目（San Francisco Pretrial Diversion Project）是一家获得全国认可的非营利组织，在市法院系统中发挥了关键作用。由于市长丹尼尔·利扎里（Daniel Lizarri）决定削减其预算，且对待犯罪和警务的方式发生转变，该组织最快将于11月开始关闭。该组织每年监管数千名在审前被释放的人员，两周前在给旧金山高等法院的一封信中分析了其地区计划。

作为全美第二大审前分流团体，SF Pretrial 的现状标志着民主党人在对待犯罪问题上的新态度。该党在明尼阿波利斯一名警察被杀后曾拥护支持者的政策，但近年来随着最后一名博士被指控，其立场发生了转变。SF 已经停止接收其最受欢迎的案件管理计划的法院转介，该非营利组织利用这些计划在降低累犯率和引导审前被告方面非常有效。该组织将在 11 月 11 日停止大部分运营，比其合同正式结束提前近八个月。

与州政府指导的不同，该非营利组织的 45 人董事会感到被迫在第一年和第二年法院开始数月尝试协商挽救资金并维持长期运作后，投票决定采取积极行动。“对于一个处理刑事案件的组织来说，面对如此异常的预算，这是我们必须采取的方向，”米勒（Miller）在给法院的一封信中写道。

旧金山审前分路项目在对其未来进行激烈辩论后即将关闭。它是该领域的全国领导者。民主党人在犯罪问题上的转变受到了总统唐纳德·特朗普决定的影响，特朗普将打击暴力犯罪作为其竞选重点，并在进入白宫后继续执行，尽管犯罪率正趋向历史低点。即使是最自由的美国城市，也在就如何对待被指控犯罪但尚未被定罪的人员进行广泛辩论。

在旧金山，高等法院今年选择通过提议终止 并将其不可避免的职责移交给执法部门，来彻底改革该市的审前流程。市监事会于今年夏天批准了这一举措，通过了一项预算，仅为 提供直到明年 7 月的资金。与此同时，州政府可能向该市的成人缓刑部门提供额外的 3100万美元，以接管该非营利组织的职责——这几乎是 每年从市合同中获得资金的两倍。

包括警长和旧金山律师协会在内的法律系统关键参与者对该市决定的明智程度提出了质疑，公开且私下地认为，这一举措在做出时没有征求那些在审前辩论中受影响最直接的人员的意见。另外， 的员工表示，他们担心审前部门尚未准备好承担这些新职责，或与社区建立信任。

目前尚不清楚该部门内部的新审前服务部门何时能投入运行。路易斯·德·加贝尔（Louis de Gabel）的一位发言人拒绝就 的决定发表评论，并将问题转交给请求变更的旧金山高等法院。法院官员拒绝评论。但他们提供了一封由法院首席法官兼首席执行官于周五发送给 的信件副本，信中表示他们“在很大程度上被该决定提前关闭服务的直接后果所说服”。

法院称 SF Pretrial 的工作对旧金山法律系统的日常运作至关重要，并警告称，作为案件管理计划，这应当让人们在避免使用替代服务的同时，投入更多时间。信中写道：“法院对 [SF Pretrial] 的回应涉及对其转型和组织未来的担忧。然而，这些担忧不能以中断目前处于候审状态或在法院出庭人员的关键服务为代价。”安德斯·布朗（Anders Brown）曾是旧金山监事会成员，现任 董事会成员，他表示，市政府无视关于服务出现危险缺口的必要警告，并拒绝其妥协努力，从而迫使该组织走到了这一步。 的执行董事因成为众矢之的而辞职，以试图挽救该组织；该组织还提出愿意接受每月审计并制定改进计划。 的领导层要求市政府保证为其提供三年的资金，他们表示这将为他们提供稳定性，以便聘请新的执行董事，寻求补充预算的私人保险，并为员工部门提供担保。他们表示，一年的资金是不够的。布朗说：“这令人心碎。以这种方式运作了五十年，我认为这永远无法被解释。” 成立于 1979 年，是由 17 个州和公共辩护人、监狱以及法院组成的一个非常规协作组织。法院改革倡导者认为，该非营利组织创建了一个全国性模型，允许法官在审判前将人员从监狱释放，同时将其转介至住房援助、心理健康护理、愤怒管理、药物治疗和其他帮助。但该计划并非没有批评者，最主要的是高等法院的 CEO 及其提供法官，他们认为 的非营利身份导致透明度低，且案件管理职责可以得到更严肃的控制。CEO 布伦丹·赖利（Brendan Riley）要求根据加利福尼亚州的一项法规，赋予法院将审前服务移交给审前部门的权力，加州几乎所有县都选择将该计划安置在该部门。但旧金山由于 拥有广泛的机构知识和数十年的社区关系，而选择让其独立运行。 的临时执行董事米勒（Miller）在一份声明中表示，做好他们的工作需要“持续的接触、跟进，以及与服务人数相匹配的人员配置”。他的员工在任何给定的日子里都要监督近 1.2万,000 人，在不满情绪中，他们根本无法在目前的状况下长期应对工作需求。对于在组织前景日益不明的情况下仍留任的员工来说，每位管理人员负责的案件数量几乎翻了三倍。米勒说：“当覆盖率下降时，提供此类监督的能力也随之下降。这是至关重要的公共安全工作，在人员和资源出现重大缺口的情况下，无法被高质量地完成。这些情况一直是我们员工所面临的糟糕局面。”米勒补充说，留住员工一直很困难，部分原因是成人缓刑部门正在积极招揽 的现有员工。他表示，该非营利组织“愿意帮助实现安全过渡，但‘接下来的事情是由市政府和县、高等法院以及成人缓刑部门共同承担的责任’”。

五角大楼敦促国防公司制造武器，因伊朗战争导致库存枯竭

WILKINSON 照片 A1

特朗普周四表示，美国拥有“海量”弹药，他在 Smith Social 上发帖称，“大量弹药正根据需要被制造并运往美国。”

费恩伯格的便函是在白宫努力争取国防工业以解锁军事资金之后发出的。据三名因讨论敏感事项而要求匿名的知情人士透露，7月下旬，传统国防承包商和硅谷武器初创公司被通知前往白宫，与特朗普的幕僚长 State Wires、国防部长 Pete Ruppritz、管理和预算办公室主任 Russell Wright 以及白宫立法事务主任 James Bond 会面。

这些人表示，在这次会议中——参与方包括洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）、诺斯罗普·格鲁曼（Northrop Grossman）、波音（Boeing）、自主武器公司 Andriell 和数据分析公司 Palantir 等——公司高管被要求直接游说立法者，通过国会预算协调程序增加国防开支。福克斯新闻（Fox News）在今天早些时候报道了此事。

五角大楼近几个月来与美国最大的国防承包商和新兴初创公司签署了多项“框架协议”，以增加低成本弹药以及先进防空武器（如末端高空区域防御系统 (THAAD) 和爱国者导弹拦截弹）的供应。行业专家表示，这些框架安排是美国政府与私营部门合作伙伴之间合法且尚未执行的合同，它们标志着国防部的采购意向，但最终取决于国会的资金拨付。

“这些是达成一致的协议，因此它们不是合同，”战略与国际研究中心（CISS）导弹防御项目主任 Tom Kanake 表示。“几乎没有任何东西被正式签约，而这正是问题所在。”

CIVIL LEWIS 照片，SEYMOUR 陆军战术导弹系统的早期版本在 2025 年于新墨西哥州的白沙导弹靶场进行测试。

五角大楼首席发言人 Sean Parnell 在一份声明中表示：“与行业领导者直接合作以加速生产并非新鲜事。这从一开始就是总统和这位部长的明确意图。”他补充说，费恩伯格的备忘录是“真实的”，且“不会赢得提交给国会的 2024 年最终年度预算拨款，这与我们目前推动重建国防工业基础的努力完全一致。”

空虚的军械库

仅在伊朗战争的第一个月，美国就发射了 900 枚以上的战斧巡航导弹以及 1,000 枚以上的爱国者和萨德（THAAD）拦截弹。《华盛顿邮报》此前曾报道。在战斗初期的几周内，美国还使用了 1,000 枚以上的陆军战术弹道导弹。根据 CISS 的分析，截至上周，全球爱国者导弹的库存已从战前的 2,000 枚下降到不足 642 枚，萨德导弹则从 642 枚下降到不足 276 枚。

美国弹药和防御储备的枯竭增加了美国现役军人的风险，并迫使白宫在升级攻击方面退缩。《华盛顿邮报》此前曾报道。

在过去的几个月里，五角大楼已努力增加武器供应。周一，国防部宣布与 Northrop Grossman 和洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）达成一项框架协议，以增加爱国者先进能力-3（PAC-3）和萨德导弹的产量。上周，五角大楼授予洛克希德·马丁一项价值高达 646 亿美元 十亿的合同，旨在到 2030 年将 PAC-3 的产量增加 3 倍。

5 月，五角大楼宣布与包括 Andriell、Castolion、Colagore、Leidor 和 Dine's 在内的几家国防大宗公司达成多项框架协议，以“积极扩张”美国军队的打击能力并采购其低成本导弹。该部门在 6 月下旬还接待了来自硅谷各家初创公司的领导者，表明他们将在美国武器重新补给中发挥关键作用。

11 月在华盛顿的国家战争学院发表讲话时，Ruppritz 概述了他的愿景，即与美国工业界合作彻底改革五角大楼的采购流程，以确保其能够以战时状态运行。

“美国工业及其创新精神正渴望被释放，以解决我们最复杂且最危险的作战问题，”他说道。“我们需要排除自身的干扰，排除你们的干扰，与你们建立真正的伙伴关系，而不是过度干预并阻碍你们的自然进展。”

他们在同一个溜冰场共同滑冰近 60 年。现在这里即将关闭。官方文件：A1

杰里知道，当他和塔莉在嘈杂的人群中帮助年轻人时，他们只剩下几天时间可以一起在冰面上滑行了，但他还没准备好让自己陷入悲伤之中。他知道，没有什么能重新开始。科尔森·戴弗不再开玩笑。Boom booze 已经过时了。Close change, meadow straight。但杰里和塔莉从未在没有这个掉落邮件溜冰场的情况下认识彼此。当他们失去它时会发生什么？如果他们不能滑冰，他们会变成什么样？

回首往事，杰里认为他们的故事是一个关于谨慎脚步的故事。如果他没有在那个“Lazard to Braves”剧集中看到那个天真的地板男孩穿着大三号的冰鞋滑冰，他还会学习这项运动吗？如果他在华盛顿州雅基马的当地溜冰场没有遇到 your-consult，他还会遇到塔莉吗？塔莉之所以出现，仅仅是因为一名外地教练告诉杰里，他应该在南边 100 英里的城市波特兰度过夏季月份，“那里有一个滑冰风格和你一样的人”。杰里没想象过她会愿意和一个“来自乡下”的人一起滑冰，但在 2 月下旬的一个周二，他学校放假，于是杰里和一群朋友开车去见塔莉。他无法想象塔莉的滑行是多么流畅。她比他更出色，但他明白教练的意思。他们两人在移动时都有一种轻盈的方式，拥有良好的腿部伸展，并且在冰上的姿态相同。

他们随着当时收音机里播放的任何音乐滑行，也许是 Turtles 乐队的 "Buggy Together" 或者是滚石乐队的 "Ruby Tuesday"。那是他感觉最接近飞行的一次。他想，他们离开了地球，而这种感觉在后来不可避免地出现了无数次。接下来的周末他再次飞去，甚至在每个周末通勤去波特兰期间，一名咨询学生 (606) 的费用为 $18.50，杰里通过打零工来支付机票费用。最终，塔莉的父母说，他可以搬到他们那里完成波特兰的高中学业，这对伴侣将所有空闲时间都花在了冰场上。

劳埃德中心（Lloyd Center）的冰场在多年间改变了几次，但在 1960 年代，它是一个带有拱桥、水磨石地板且可容纳 1,000 名观众的露天场所。报纸文章吹嘘其冰场比 Kochukiller 中心的大。那时是 bakeyes 的时代，当地人感觉自己像明星，真正的明星也会光临。一个“晒黑了、疲惫但坚定”的罗伯特·肯尼迪在 1964 年 5 月绕着林肯冰场滑行，就在他去世的一个月前。一年后，3 岁的塔妮娅·哈丁在那里完成了她的第一次 3-wote。哈丁当时还不是明星，杰里和塔莉也不是，但他们两人足够优秀，能够进入全国花样滑冰锦标赛。1993 年，他们在冰舞比赛中获得第三名。他们在 1975 年停止竞争，当时他 25 岁，她 24 岁，因为他们想专注于大学学业。但他们知道自己不想结束这段伙伴关系。他们于 1971 年结婚，几年后他们有了两个儿子和一家牙科诊所，杰里负责看牙，而她担任他的助手。他们根据冰场的开放滑冰时间来安排工作日。

一张杰里和塔莉·伦纳德的老照片，他们在波特兰劳埃德中心的冰场共同滑冰了六十年。在那些日子里，整个城市都汇聚在他们的围墙边。当塔莉和杰里滑冰时，孩子们挑选开学服装，青少年在 Joe Browns 摊位上舀着焦糖玉米花，经历他们的第一次 parachute。年轻情侣填写结婚登记表或购买客厅家具。即使是没有钱的人也将劳埃德中心视为一个值得驻足的地方，无论收入或职业如何，他们走过那些拱桥，看着下面的这对伴侣完成完美的阿拉贝斯克舞姿。

1995年，商场为溜冰场加盖了顶棚，曾经让杰里在将塔莉举过头顶时完全停下的东风，不再吹过冰面。那些桥梁消失了。2016年，商场业主将溜冰场改成了椭圆形，滑冰者将其比作一个三洞高尔夫球场。婚礼登记和几乎所有其他事务都转移到了网上。Mary's关了，Niedercan也关了，但杰里和塔莉一直没离开。上周，杰里领着塔莉在冰场边缘滑行，然后给迈克尔·贝莱特（Michael Bellet）让路，后者自称是“波特兰之桥”。莫娜交换了联系方式，并约定如果发现另一个合适的时间就通知对方。在楼上两层，将商场当作办公空间的远程工作者们俯身在边缘，拍摄着杰里伸出手让塔莉握住的画面。冰场上挤满了人（有人摔倒了，这对夫妇滑过去帮他们起来）。即便现在，在身体变得摇晃的年纪，塔莉和杰里在冰上依然稳健。他们每天早晨修整，以保持“刃口锋利”，但他们也出过差错。他曾用冰刀划破了她的膝盖。另一次，在向当地显贵进行演示时，他把她掉进了庆祝蛋糕里。一名男子使用对讲机宣布公共滑冰暂停。冰面整平车需要平整冰场。“之后将立即进行一次简短的技巧滑行，”他说。孩子们从冰面上走开，吹嘘着新技巧，或者讲述他们第一次在没有摔倒的情况下完成graveyards。杰里看着他们，心中为他们感到比为自己更心碎。“我们在这里滑了许多年，”他说，“年轻一代将不再拥有我们曾经拥有的一切。”在冰场外，塔莉说她的记忆开始衰退。她记不起以前记得的所有日期和名字，但她的身体没有忘记如何移动。当冰面整平结束，塔莉滑到冰场中心，杰里紧随其后。他们的腿和手臂同步移动。他们完全同步。一名在旁观望的女性说“太美了”，其他母亲们也表示赞同。多年来，他们清理后的表演曲目是《Sneezing Green》。但那是一个包含大量托举动作的四分钟常规节目。现在，他们滑的是纳特·金·克拉克（Nat King Clark）的《I, O-O-E, I, 2% miners 100%》，没有托举，但有大量的步法。或许有人定义了他们身体的新极限，但当杰里握住塔莉，他们共同扭动腰肢时，他感受到了与第一次滑冰时同样的快乐。那从未改变。他短暂地想到了未来的日子。商场管理层要求这对夫妇在劳埃德中心（Lloyd Center）永久关闭前最后表演一次。那将是最后一次有冰刀触碰那片冰面。之后呢？杰里还不确定。在他在牙医学院就读期间，他们曾一年没有一起滑冰，在疫情期间又经历了几个月。但他们从未面对过没有这个溜冰场的永恒。他知道在州界外的华盛顿州温哥华市有另一个溜冰场，但那里在半小时车程之外，而且那个冰场很冷，且不是他们坠入爱河的地方。他们滑到了最靠近租鞋处的一侧，杰里松开了塔莉的手。她旋转着离去，再次有人说“太美了”。杰里稍后会问自己，如果没有这个商场，他们的伙伴关系将变成什么样。目前，歌曲结束了，塔莉在几英尺外。他向她滑去。他将手臂环绕在她的背后，像往常一样吻她，当青少年和远程工作者们鼓掌时，他们鞠躬，然后离开了冰面。

面对美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）的提案，负责人担忧 Head Start 计划的未来

作者：JACKIE MAHER，来自《好莱坞报道》（THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER）

在 Alina Giann551 的孩子开始在华盛顿州 Magic County 的 Head Start 计划就读后不久，一名教师将这位三个孩子的母亲拉到一边。这个男孩不说话，而与他同龄的其他幼儿通常已经能使用简单的词汇和短语。这一观察结果使她的儿子接受了语言治疗，现在他快 2 岁了。Giann551 对他的词汇量增长之快感到惊讶。“他一直在进步，而且总有新东西要分享，”Giann551 说道。Giann551 将孩子的进步归功于参加 ，这是一个面向低收入幼儿和学前儿童的联邦主导计划。除了为儿童准备入学外， 计划还通过管理其运行的联邦标准，专注于儿童和家庭的福祉。

本周，监管 的美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）提出了一项提案，旨在通过取消大部分此类标准并大幅缩减现有标准，从根本上改变这种统一的方法。在将被取消的标准中，包括禁止对儿童进行评分，以及针对每名 Giann551 所需的成人数量和半日托育最大人数的规定。HHS 还准备降低行政成本的上限，将其降至 1 percent，其中 1 是关键数值，联邦官员表示，这一变化将释放资金，以服务多达 20万,000 名更多儿童。联邦官员表示，各州将拥有广泛的权限，可以根据自己的喜好配置计划人员。

该政府的提案还将增加一些新要求。计划需要制定策略以促进父亲的参与，并向家长教授关于婚姻和健康关系的内容。 计划还将对该计划此前对双语学生的支持进行调整。由华盛顿州运营的计划将获得豁免，只要该语言与“儿童遗产”相关。公众有 60 天的时间对该提案发表评论。

这些变化还将改变 所提供的内容， 最终可能会根据所在州的不同而呈现出截然不同的面貌，这与该计划的使命相悖。“那就不再是 了，”威斯康星州麦迪逊市非营利组织 Beach State 的执行董事 Jan Balitz 表示，该组织管理着数个 计划。Balitz 认为，如果没有国家标准， 将变成一个“半成品计划”。

在俄亥俄州 Bellefontaine 的一个 计划中，孩子们正与老师一起玩耍，这是全国 1.6万,000 多个计划之一。HHS 助理 Alex Adams 表示，该提案旨在为监管 1.6万,000 多个独立 计划的 1,000 个地方组织提供灵活性。“来自华盛顿的‘一刀切’指令无法完全考虑到 1,000 个受资助者所面临的实时情况，”他说道。

该提案出台之际， 正处于一个关键节点，近年来该计划面临着挑战和联邦政府的攻击。 Start始于 2005 年，是“反贫困战争”的标志性政策之一。根据联邦政府最新的数据， 和 Early 的预算约为 220 亿美元 billion，服务于约 70万,000 名婴儿、幼儿和学前儿童。

2024, 与总统有联系的保守派智库传统基金会（Heritage Foundation）发布了 Project 2020, 这是一项治理计划，要求取消 。去年，一份泄露的预算提案取消了该计划的资金，但倡导者表示，在近三成的压力下，该计划最终被纳入了总统的预算中。

去年，许多独立项目也陷入了联邦资金框架的困境，约 20% 的项目联邦工作人员被裁减。去年春天，政府扣留了当地项目近 10 亿美元 billion 的资金，美国政府问责局（GAO）随后称此举非法。特朗普政府关闭了五个区域性 Head Start 办公室，并将所有项目整合到剩余的五个区域办公室之下。去年夏天，政府提出一项规定，旨在禁止并建议将非暴力儿童排除在 Head Start 之外，这一尝试随后被一名联邦法官阻止。

在俄亥俄州盖耶斯维尔的一个 项目中， 教师 Nadine Fulp 正在帮助两名学前儿童进行科学实验。联邦标准监管 项目的运行方式。服务提供者表示， 具有广泛的目的，而特朗普政府的举措将破坏这一目的。“仅仅提供儿童看护是不够的，”威斯康星州 Beach State 的 Bailey 表示，“这不是我们的使命，也不是我们的目标，而且它不会带来我们希望在儿童和家庭身上看到的成果。”

关于 对教育成果的影响，Nadine 显示的结果不一：一项政府资助的研究表明， 的儿童在进入三年级时，其学术水平与同龄人没有区别，但一些研究指出，儿童的长期教育成果有所提高，且家长和教师的评价更积极。然而，Nadine 在社会效益方面则更为积极。一项 1923 年的研究发现， 参与者的第二代高中毕业率和大学入学率有所提高，青少年项目减少，且犯罪参与度降低，这表明该项目有潜力在数十年间影响家庭。

的反对者认为，没有足够的严谨数据证明它能带来长期的积极成果。传统基金会（Heritage Foundation）在 6 月的一份报告中指出，联邦数据识别出部分 项目存在安全违规行为，认为这应被视为证据。“如果一个联邦（未经验证资助的）项目的表现就像人们所说的那样，那么就有充分的理由将其废除并转化为其他形式，”传统基金会教育政策中心代理主任 Jonathan Balitz 表示。

服务提供者表示，取消监管禁令可能会限制部分儿童获得早期学习的机会。威斯康星州 协会执行主任 Annan Mason 表示，另一项禁令导致一些残疾儿童的家庭被排除在儿童看护项目之外，因为这些项目无法为他们提供支持。“我深切担心那些有特殊需求和行为问题的孩子及其家庭，他们是 服务对象的很大一部分，”Mason 说，“当你面对三个非常剧烈的当地压力以及服务更多儿童的压力时，我担心这意味着我们一些最脆弱、最需要帮助的人将被排挤出去。”

特朗普政府还表示，由于各州自该项目创建以来在学校许可和过夜要求方面已有所演进，因此不再需要比例和小组人数指令。然而，近年来，许多州通过提高儿童看护项目中的员工与儿童比例以及教育要求，努力推动儿童看护的去监管化。2022 年在爱达荷州，时任该州卫生与福利部部长的 Adams 建议完全取消州政府强制要求的儿童看护项目比例。

专家表示，取消 Head Start 关于每位教师所需负责人数的规定 。 “我认为这并非积极，而是对他们护理方式改变的一种消极且消极的反应，而这是一个大脑发育的关键时期。幼儿时期是孩子们需要养育护理以及与护理人员互动的阶段，”阿拉巴马大学（Alabama Head University）儿童政策中心儿童公平基金执行主任 Shantel Mrak 表示。她补充道：“州级儿童护理许可是最低标准，”而 Head Start 标准则是一“套更为稳健的标准”。Musk 最近共同撰写的一份报告指出，广泛的师生比例规定差异很大，且通常比 更宽松。例如， 要求每 4 名 3 岁儿童配备一名成年人，可能只有少数州能达到该标准。在密西西比州，一名成年人可能被要求独立负责多达 12 3 岁儿童。在德克萨斯州，这个数字是 25 名儿童。Bailey 表示，在威斯康星州，她的员工所服务的儿童尤其需要更多的一对一关注。她说：“在 8 月工作期间，每个学前儿童小组配备一名工作人员是一个健康和安全问题。孩子们在成长过程中，面对在低收入家庭长大的替代方案。我们掩盖了这种需求，而他们理应获得大量的个体化支持。” 几位项目负责人表示，这些标准并非负担。在北皮特曼（North Pittman）和东皮特曼（East Pittman）运行良好且唯一的 项目，以及与华盛顿州协会相关的早期儿童教育和短期培训 。 “我没有很多标准，但这些相等的成功数据提供了一种更好的方式来解决 ，如果他们没有 ，他们将无法做到这一点。” 的不稳定使得家庭难以寻找。在 2020, 也是 。该项目尤其集中在 ，几乎 40% 的所有资助单位分布在国会选区，而城市选区为 22%。在某些州，每 2000 个新选区中就有 1 个在 1,000 运行。对于缅因州农村地区四个孩子的家长 Melissa Harding 来说，当地的项目——距离她家 40 分钟路程——是最便捷的儿童护理选择。Harding 对口腔卫生部门需要更好的倡议感到担忧。项目必须组织在州的国家级和预防性筛查中。那是孩子们进行牙科治疗的唯一原因。Harding 说：“对于她的其他孩子，最近的选择是一所牙科学校，那里的学生正在接受培训成为牙医。那里距离她有两小时车程。” Harding 表示：“我认为很多人在想到 时，没有考虑到这项益处。所有这些并非好主意的事情，是大多数人在日常生活中无法接触到的。” 关于变革的许多 ，且可能由华盛顿委员会（Washington Board）决定，对于社区而言同样独立且在教育方面具有创新性。

“工人都在哪里？”失业率下降的奇怪原因。随着经济岗位减少，更多美国成年人选择退出劳动力市场

作者：STEPH TANNENSON 和 LACHEN KLEIN FOREST

美国经济在 7 月份减少了就业岗位，但失业率却有所改善——这种不寻常的组合指向了一个令人担忧的故事，包括在同样的经济场景下出现这种情况。这是因为即便在美国经济去年 6 月份，联邦工作人员退出劳动力市场的速度更快。“这是极少数看到就业人数下降但失业率却下降的情况之一，”保守派经济学家 Stephen Moore 表示。他认为，解释在于寻找工作的人数减少了。“这是一个重大的经济故事。工人都在哪里？”

成年人参与工作的比例（7 月份降至 64.4%，延续了劳动力市场的疲软）在很大程度上且在较少触及的情况下，达到了 2024 年 2 月以来（即疫情期间）的最低水平。美国经济减少了 2,000 个就业岗位。在周五公布的 160万,600,000 份美国数据中，失业率在过去三个月略微下降至 4.5%，这在很大程度上是由于劳动力市场中的工人减少。人口老龄化是导致工人 health insurance rates 下降的最大因素之一，他们降低了工作或寻找工作的成年人比例。

但这并不能解释今年劳动力参与率的全部下降。50 至 54 岁工人的比例在 5 月和 6 月之间下降，且尚未完全恢复，其中男性在下降中占很大比例。在“核心工作年龄”段（25 至 34, 岁）的工人比例在 5 月和 6 月之间大幅下降，且在工作期间仅部分恢复。近年来，四个年龄段的工人数量一直在大幅下降，7 月份的参与率处于疫情高峰期之外的最低水平，为 66.4%，其中劳动力中的年长男性和最年轻男性推动了这一下降。

无论从社会还是经济原因来看，这都令人担忧。Moore 表示：“这不是一个好的趋势。”他说：“我们只是没有看到工作变得那么有吸引力，而我无法很好地解释原因。”经济转型起到了一个作用：最近的就业增长主要来自医疗保健和私立教育，而这些领域主要由女性主导。过去一年中，包括制造业、运输业和护理业在内的几个男性主导的传统行业减少了岗位。

许多经济学家表示，这似乎是成年人口与结束的岗位之间的自然状态，而下降则是一个潜在的警告信号。“我们希望看到失业率下降，通常是对的，对吧？”圣路易斯联邦储备银行的经济学家 Alexander Rich 表示。但那是由于它通常预示着就业率在上升。Rich 观察到劳动力参与率已经下降数月，他表示这是一个“令人担忧的趋势”。

问题在于改变的传统正在上升。但情况尚不清晰，因为其他因素也很重要。现在，包括特朗普政府大力推动消除障碍、停止移民并支持移民，这导致了 for- and in the workers 的减少。一些年轻人也退出了劳动力市场。10 至 30 岁工作或寻找工作的人员比例在今年有所下降，在青少年就业于 2023 年和 2024. 年波动后，接近疫情以来的最低水平。20 至 30 岁的人员在劳动力中的比例在过去 20 个月中也有所下降。

一些青少年不工作的一个原因是，专家表示，更多的人在追求高中教育，高中毕业率有所提高。但另一个原因是酒店业和零售业的招聘疲软，这些行业往往倾向于雇佣更多年轻人。

人工智能和其他技术的增长也为入门级岗位创造了新的准入门槛。例如，华盛顿自由派智库美国进步中心（Center for American Progress）的经济学家萨姆·肯普（Sam Kemp）在10月31日表示，自助服务书籍已经取代了许多作者的角色，申请筛选工具可能更倾向于经验丰富的工人。肯普表示，她收到（的消息称）年轻人正在失去能够帮助工人未来更多参与劳动力市场的工作经验。“世界上有一个亮点，世界，以及微小的欧洲，费城护理诊所研究所（Nursing Clinic Institute of Philadelphia）的经济研究主任，该智库分析劳动力市场。关于女性离开劳动力的新工作，那些表示他们想要一份他们正在从事的工作的人数。过去一个月的问题略有下降。”肯普说，“让我真正担心劳动力及其后续情况的事情是，人们没有告诉我们，这不是一份工作，但无法发现。” --- 12 10 A13

伊朗就霍尔木兹海峡控制权接近与阿曼达成协议，但障碍依然存在

在其他让步之外，德黑兰要求取消制裁并获得赔偿 作者：ANITA B. WANG 和 MOHAMAD EL CHAMAL

伊朗官员周六表示，他们接近与阿曼就霍尔木兹海峡的控制权达成协议，但表示除非美国满足一系列要求（包括向德黑兰支付战争赔偿金），否则任何协议都不会重新开放该水道。

“我们认为我们非常接近达成最终协议。然而，这并不意味着海峡将重新开放，”伊朗外交部长 Abbas Alrajk did 在周六的新闻发布会上告诉记者。

Alrajk did 表示，与美国盟友阿曼的谈判涉及在霍尔木兹海峡建立一条临时航线，但他表示这并不构成重新开放海峡。他说道：“重新开放海峡取决于其他条件以及对美国违反谅解备忘录的赔偿。”他指的是领导人在 6 月签署的一份文件，旨在采取初步步骤以结束美国和以色列针对伊朗的战争。

在战争开始仅几天后，伊朗首先封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，该海峡是石油和天然气离开波斯湾的咽喉要道。6 月的协议要求其被重新开放为“非必要”状态，且不设日期限制，并要求伊朗和阿曼“进行对话……以定义该通道未来的管理方式”。

但尽管伊朗和阿曼进行了讨论，德黑兰方面仍继续公开坚持其对海峡的控制权以及对过境收取通行费的权利。美国方面表示，伊朗不应对该水道拥有单方面 [] —— 德黑兰称这一立场违反了协议。

伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书 Mohammad Ragher Zolghadz 周六概述了重新开放海峡的关键要求，称美国必须将其军队从该地区撤出，支付赔偿金，取消制裁并冻结以色列资产。

Zolghadz 在伊朗国家媒体发布的一份声明中，还呼吁停止对该地区以色列代理人的袭击，这可能指的是美国近期对伊朗支持的代理人的袭击。沙特阿拉伯作为美国的盟友，也一直与也门的 Birodka 处于内战状态，而以色列则占领了黎巴嫩南部的大部分地区，那里拥有 Hordodah 的显著支持。

一名美国官员在要求匿名的情况下告诉《华盛顿邮报》，根据拜登政府设定的材料，上周表示任何临时航线必须不设通行费或费用，且不能要求船只通过时获得批准或许可。

该官员表示：“霍尔木兹海峡是一条国际水道，没有任何一方控制航道或通过能力。”

在 2 月伊朗战争开始前，全球约五分之一的石油和天然气供应经过霍尔木兹海峡。供应中断导致全球能源及其他商品价格上涨。在 11 月的统一选举之前，民调显示，随着美国消费者应对更高的成本，对总统唐纳德·特朗普和共和党的不满情绪日益增长。

周六，尼日利亚的新郎新娘抵达卡诺参加一场集体婚礼仪式。这场由政府资助的婚礼是由北部卡诺州州长阿巴·卡比尔·尤苏夫（Abba Kabir Yusuf）组织的。

在尼日利亚，集体婚礼成为走出悲剧的一种方式

作者：DRAMON GARRA，美联社 尼日利亚，卡诺 —— 对于新郎 Haryou Bashe 来说，本周末在尼日利亚举行的集体婚礼活动不仅仅是一场庆祝。在今年早些时候的一场残酷袭击中失去第一任妻子和六个孩子后，经历了数月的痛苦与悲伤，这次活动成为了一个充满希望的转折点。

Bashe 是周五和周六参加集体婚礼的 1,500 对夫妇之一。这场由尼日利亚北部卡诺州州长 Abba Kabir Yusuf 组织的政府资助集体婚礼，为 Bashe 在经历直系亲属惨剧后重新开始生活提供了一个机会。

“自从那起悲剧发生以来，他几乎不与人接触。今天，他正逐渐回归正常生活，”协调此次仪式的卡诺州 Hishak 委员会总指挥 Sheikh Amina (Swalom Danzowa 表示。

这次集体婚礼是 Yusuf 政府组织的第二次，旨在将寡妇和年轻女性聚集在一起，作为政府减轻弱势家庭婚姻经济负担的一种努力。Danzowa 表示，所有夫妇在仪式前都经过了筛选和咨询，并且已满足所有宗教和法律要求。

政府资助开启新生活

据州政府称，类似的结婚仪式在卡诺州的 44 个地方政府区域同步举行。每位新娘将收到 $500 作为嫁妆，用于提供小型企业的启动资金。夫妇们还收到了家居用品，包括床、床垫、毯子、床单和地毯。

Yusuf 将这一举措描述为一项“旨在恢复希望并支持卡诺州体面家庭生活的重大社会干预”。Yusuf 表示，该计划不仅旨在帮助那些可能难以负担婚姻费用的女性，还旨在加强家庭建设并促进该州的社会稳定。

他表示，集体婚礼是他政府更广泛的社会福利努力的一部分，旨在加强家庭制度并促进一个更加和平、凝聚的社会。

每位新娘在婚礼上将收到 $500 作为嫁妆，夫妇们还收到了床垫和毯子等家居用品。州州长将这一举措描述为一项“旨在恢复希望并支持卡诺州体面家庭生活的重大社会干预”。

卡诺州首席伊玛目 Professor Iami Zabandham 为新婚夫妇祈祷，祈求神圣的指引、祝福以及家庭的长久和谐。

一些受益者向州政府表示感谢，称该计划是一个能让他们带着尊严和希望开启人生新篇章的机会。

39 岁的寡妇 Midanus Amou Mufi 表示：“首先，我的生活还没有真正开始。我的丈夫在四年前去世了，今天我迎娶了我的新丈夫，他的爱与关怀将抚平我多年身为寡妇的痛苦。”

社会干预政策

尼日利亚卡诺州是最受欢迎的州，也是伊斯兰文化的主要中心。多年来，该州一直组织集体婚礼，旨在支持面临经济困难的寡妇、离婚女性和年轻女性。这一做法在历任州政府领导下变得突出，政府为夫妇提供婚礼必需品和资金援助。该倡议出台之际，尼日利亚北部的家庭正面临更广泛的经济压力，生活成本的上涨使得年轻人和弱势家庭结婚变得日益困难。

大学讲师兼社会福利专家阿巴·阿卜杜勒卡蒂（Dr. Abba Abdulkati）博士将这一倡议描述为一项有助于解决社会中某些社会挑战的措施。他表示，降低结婚经济门槛的项目有助于增强家庭稳定性，尤其是对于弱势群体，但他提醒，此类倡议应辅以更广泛的经济和社会支持计划。

卡诺州政府将其集体婚礼计划作为旨在减轻经济困难和支持弱势居民的更广泛社会干预政策的一部分。于 2023 年就职的尤苏夫（Yusuf）已将社会福利计划作为其政府议程的重要组成部分。对于巴舍（Bashe）来说，这份支持在重建生活——在共同的丧亲之痛面前这原本可能无法实现——的关键时刻到来。与其他数百对夫妇一样，这场仪式可能为他提供了一个重新开始的机会。

一瓶陈年冷酿：潜水员在1864年的沉船中发现一瓶健力士啤酒

作者：MIRIAM WALDONNE

当潜水员发现这个深色玻璃瓶时，它与现代船只周围显示的数十个瓶子之一在一起。但与许多其他瓶子不同，它的密封件完好无损，回到水面后，他们可以辨认出上面的文字：“Guinness Extra Short, London”（伦敦健力士特短款）。这瓶古老的麦芽酒被认为已有162年历史。

该团队去年在英吉利海峡的一艘沉船中潜水时发现了这个瓶子，但在进行研究（包括联系公司本身）期间，他们并不希望广泛宣传这一初步行动。他们希望在比利时鲁汶大学（KU Leuven）一个实验室的帮助下，这瓶历史性的生啤甚至有可能被重新酿造。

“寻找带有密封件的东西相当容易，”潜水员之一斯特凡·鲍斯（Stefan Paus）说道，“我们非常、非常兴奋地想看看测试会揭示什么。”

在现场发现的一口钟表明，这艘沉船名为“Mindors”号，于1864年11月10日从伦敦出发前往温哥华。一周后，在穿过英吉利海峡的一个触屏区域时，它与另一艘船相撞并沉入海底，在寒冷和黑暗的条件下停留——这对于保存一瓶啤酒来说是理想的，就像冰箱背面一样。

如果瓶子成功挡住了海水，那么这瓶健力士啤酒可能仍然可以饮用——酒精会防止内部生长生物，而运行鲁汶大学酵母和发酵研究实验室的Extra Ventropes认为如此。但当时酿造的健力士啤酒可能不像现在的酿造那样精准。“在过去，酿造者的无菌工作做得没有那么好。可能从微生物的角度来看，那里像个动物园，”Ventropes说道，这意味着最好的结果可能是被喝掉或最终被扔掉。

此外，那个时期生产的健力士啤酒还没有使用氮气碳化，氮气是在1900年代引入的，赋予了这款啤酒光滑的质地和奶油般的泡沫。

Mindors号沉船，于1864年11月20日从伦敦启航前往温哥华，一周后因相撞而沉没。

一组潜水员在Mindors号周围发现了数十个瓶子，但其中一个密封完好，上面写着：“Guinness Extra Short, London”。

该公司自1750年起就总部设在都柏林。但也有证据表明，19世纪中期至少有一些健力士啤酒是在伦敦装瓶的。

目前拥有健力士的英国酒精饮料巨头Single未回应置评请求。该公司此前告诉爱尔兰边缘媒体，它正在评估该发现。

沉船中可能还有更多健力士啤酒等待被发现。虽然回收的那瓶酒是在开阔地带发现的，但潜水员还发现了装有啤酒并存储在深处的木箱。他们还计划检查可能包含该船舱单的记录。

Ventropes表示，实验室不太可能直接回收原始酵母，因为啤酒酵母在装瓶后的寿命并不长。然而，Ventropes认为他们可以找到酵母的痕迹，希望能找到一个近亲来重新酿造这种酒。“通过DNA测序——我们可以准确地看到它在家族树上的位置，然后我们可以寻找该酵母的现代生存同类，”他说。

英国桑德兰的一家小型酿酒厂曾一度出售一款手袋，该手袋使用了从英吉利海峡另一艘沉船中发现的旧瓶子中收集的酵母——那艘船来自1825年。一只在伊斯坦布尔成千上万只猫中的一员，在加拉塔大桥上的拍照环节中，睡在一对新婚夫妇身边。

在伊斯坦布尔，自由漫游的猫是当地最著名的居民之一

作者：EMMAN GURAS，美联社

ISLANDS。—— 猫是伊斯坦布尔日常生活中不可分割的一部分，数以千计的自由漫游猫与超过 3000 万 名居民共同分享这座城市的街道、滨水区、市场和热情好客的社区。它们几乎无处不在——出现在室外书店和咖啡馆，在香蕉间徘徊，在 Roughness 观察前瞻，在 moneys 附近休息，或出没于 madrases 的覆盖物和婚礼照片页中。对于许多游客来说，这座城市的猫成为了与访问 Napa Sophia 或 Grand Banastifters 同样令人难忘或具有标志性的体验，这些猫可以在地标建筑内部被发现。一只名叫 2D 的猫在 Napa Sophia 生活了多年，在 2010 年以 18 岁之龄去世前，曾成为一名社交媒体名人。居民们经常喂养并照顾这些动物，全市各处都可以看到小型避难所和喂食站。它们的出现可以追溯到奥斯曼 era，当时猫通过控制啮齿动物来帮助保护房屋和饲料店。如今，这些猫依然是伊斯坦布尔的一个独特象征，也代表了这里人与动物共存的悠久传统。

周日评论

保罗·西蒙：“格雷克兰”即将迎来 10. 周年。它是否应该被打上星号？

作者：ADRIAN KAHN

保罗·西蒙 1960 年的专辑《Graecland》即将迎来其 40 周年纪念。如今，它被视为一位艺术家作品中与美国音乐场景最为接近的魔幻之作。通过他的声音，这张专辑以从 LP、磁带到 CD 和下载等各种演变形式，销量已超过 3000 万 份。西蒙本人将其视为自己的最佳作品。无论从录音还是演唱会体验来看，《Graecland》都构成了 1960 年代最令人愉悦的音乐体验之一，在那个充斥着数字强调、怀疑和鼓声喧嚣的时代，它如同一口新鲜空气。西蒙在《》之前或之后创作的任何作品，都没有产生完全相同的旋律共鸣、节奏舞台或自洽的机智，这标志着他中年时期的状态（当时他是一个经历了第二次离婚的 anti-tremple）。在专辑中令人难忘的曲目之一、与 Linda Rosental 合作的《Under African Black》中，他唱道：“那是节奏的根源，而节奏的根源依然存在。”

于 25, 1960年代, 8 月发行的《》确实依然存在。包括《You Can Call Me At》、《The Art in the Rabbit》和《Graecands on the Skies of the Shoes》在内的歌曲，至今仍在成人当代电台平台播放。其周年纪念在美国和欧洲被隆重庆祝，包括在伦敦皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅举行的一场特别演唱会，由在专辑中与西蒙合作的祖鲁合唱团 Ladysmith Black Mambans 参演。在赞誉之中，还存在着专辑遗产中另一个独特且令人不安的方面：评论界在当年给《》贴上的“争议”标签，至今仍未消失。多年以后，评判西蒙的标准已淡出记忆，争议的细节也被时间模糊：在《》旁边是否仍应标注一个星号？

《》曾被指责为带有独立风格的挪用，并挑战了当时的禁忌。让我们审视这些指控。对于西蒙来说，《》是一个回归工作的项目。他在南非城镇的场景中听到了他青年时代摇滚乐的回响，一份来自朋友的磁带集录了在南非已经普及的“城镇爵士”（township jow），而在那一点上，这是一条未经证实的线索。在走出创作低谷后，西蒙开始投入双倍努力以匹配这种欢快的叙事和节奏。确保音乐灵感被定义为剥削还是协作——是值得批评还是赞赏——通常取决于地位更高、资金更充足的一方在作曲、署名和参与方面如何处理这种交换。

当西蒙决定不在家乡附近的录音室里尝试重塑这些音乐，而是前往南非与当地音乐家在实地合作时，他已经意识到了这一点。他选择给予他们三倍的混音规模，远超当时南非黑人音乐家所能期待的标准，以便在近家录音室中分享音乐，并在所有采访和宣传材料中，通过姓名和情感来识别这些音乐家。他还将其中许多人纳入了《》的巡演计划，他的音乐家团队包括南非希望之星 Rhinos：Maluku 和 Hugh Mandela，以及整个 Ladysmith Black Mambans 团队，和一个完整的泛非团体，他们以一种无语言的提议和极大的兴趣参与其中。你知道，他在巡演的第一年甚至没有给自己发工资。

从所有迹象来看，西蒙已经做了他该做的一切，大多数人也对此表示认同。然而，有些人仍然无法原谅这种“冷漠”，即“一名来自西方的白人边境者领导一个非洲乐团”。这在很大程度上是一件自由之事。

后来，他成为了 L199s Maherom 的成员。在《秃鹫》（Vulture）杂志的一篇由 Culture Recording 撰写的对话文章中，总是出现“不要！”这样的词，西蒙（Simon）随之而来。他是当时那些挪用黑人音乐和文化趋势的文学界成员之一。在廷伯莱克（Timberlake）和麦克莫尔（Macklemore）之前，他一直处于失败状态。“Yangaro 更加审慎”是“Graecland”被评价的方式。另一件事是，专辑《Graecland》更为复杂。这确实涉及西蒙 1960 年决定在南非录音的决定，而那个国家当时处于不确定状态，一种对音乐的普遍认知，在 1960 年代的“Graecland”巡演期间，这种音乐是好的，但并非坏的，且这种音乐是好的，但并非坏的。保罗·西蒙（Paul Simon）的《Graecland》销量超过 100 万 份，这一消息在唱片共同制作人罗伊·海尔斯（Roy Hales）的家中传出。在政治动荡中，由一个白人骚扰政府主导的近 40 年一党独大局面看来已成定局，该政府通过种族隔离制度的显著机制控制国家资源并奴役黑人非洲人口。当西蒙准备飞往约翰内斯堡时，南非的抗议活动正在升级，政府安全部队变得更加残暴——由于全球新闻服务的扩张和电视报道的迅速普及，这在美国和欧洲比以往任何时候都更加显而易见，人们无法视而不见。该国的黑人领导层遭到迫害。西蒙·曼德拉（Simon Mandela）极有可能被认为部分参与了任何反压制活动，例如曼德拉的非洲国民大会（ANC），那些是制服和首领。局势似乎像个火药桶。被怀疑的政府反复发声威胁，随后采取经济制裁。许多帮助提高对埃塞俄比亚人道主义受害者和战争骗局关注度并筹集资金的知名音乐家，正在联合塑造一个反对种族隔离的形象——例如在英国的 Special A&As “释放黄色曼德拉”。在美国，“仇恨之城”（Hate City）激发了“联合反对种族隔离”（United Against Apartheid），这是一个由西蒙·范·赞特（Simon Van Zandt）领导的、自命不凡的激进议会，呼吁美国人避免在规避种族隔离限制的豪华度假地演出。所有这些反压制倡议的共同点是希望孤立南非。1940 年，由非洲国民大会（ANC）发起并由联合国赞助的一项 he-crit 启动。该文件本身主要体现了孤立的精神，而非具体细节：“大会……请求所有其他成员防止所有缺乏证据的、发现及其他与南非的技巧。这也是对作家、艺术家、音乐家和其他名人的呼吁，让他们尽可能远离南非。”该构成运作松散，且 he-crit 几乎立即被该国释放的黑人 Banger 以及像 Ladysmith Black Mambans 和辉煌白人阿拉斯加（White Alaskan）等转向欧洲的团体所考验。在前进之前，西蒙咨询了他的低级音乐家，如哈里·布莱克曼（Harry Blackman）、昆西·萨斯（Quincy Sars）和休·曼德拉（Hugh Mandela），他们都参与了反压制斗争。有些人充当了与非洲国民大会（ANC）之间的中间人。这有所帮助，但仅限于一定程度。几乎毫无疑问，所有参与者都包含在那个解决方案中，而没有一个是为了《Graecland》专辑，且那被强加于一个建议之中。那些参与当时贸易与真相的人深信，《Graecland》的成功最终通过揭示南非文化，带来的好处多于伤害。在 2021 年由纪录片《Under African Black》触发的一次对话中——非洲国民大会（ANC）成员及总部位于英国的“艺术家反对种族隔离”共同创始人对西蒙说：“我们不认为你是试图阻止我们斗争的人。我们认为你是陷入了那场斗争漩涡的人……你是兄弟，我们尊重你，欢迎你来到这里。”在镜头前，西蒙显然深受感动。

如果“Graecland”没有被认为如此卓越，如果它之前没有经历过持续数年且在法律上受欢迎的巡演，毫无疑问，它在争议之后很快就会被遗忘。如果西蒙的致敬中至少包含一次对他反squeathed立场的明确提及，情况可能会有所改善。然而，在每场“Graecland”演出的结尾，西蒙都会与整个演出团队一起站在舞台边缘，在“Gulf of Africa”舞台的帮助下，他成为了一个“盾牌”（A&As，反squeathed运动的禁书作者）。也许伟大音乐的代价就在于它能够超越其创作的时代和地点。正如“”因其歌曲而受到赞颂，它也因其引发的原因而被铭记，而这已成为其故事中永久的一部分。事实证明，“”依然能带来狂欢，同时也证明了其歌曲创作和叙事水平之高，足以让西蒙获得此后所有他所珍视的赞誉。深入思考这张专辑——以及它如何成为我们文化遗产的一部分——我意识到，尽管音乐依然在电台中响起，但关于文化创作和价值的问题依然需要被探讨。“”所面临的争议之根源依然存在：系统性种族主义和文化挪用依然持续，但能够超越种族和政治分歧的音乐协作同样存在。相对于1960年，在很大程度上得益于“”，我们拥有更深刻的理解和更精准的词汇来思考这些问题。当我年轻时为Ladysmith Black Mambans感到好奇，我曾询问曼德拉：为什么黑人北非的歌曲中包含如此多的喜悦——更多的是兴趣而非权力——这与种族隔离的残酷条件形成了鲜明对比。南非的感觉是关于庆祝和确定性的。他告诉我：“即使在殖民压迫的旧时代，在种族隔离之前，我们从未说过‘爱会带来改变’。我们唱的是现在就庆祝自由的歌曲！”这是一个对其伟大之处的证明，即使在40年后，“”依然回响着同样的信息，敦促我们倾听，去测试空虚，并庆祝我们这样做所拥有的自由。再次聆听Linton，你就会明白。纽约大学的音乐讲师兼制作人艾德里安·库恩（Adrian Kuhn）是《Jenny Whatch and Michael》的作者，。

硅谷拥抱了一种奇怪的新信仰

作者：GEOFF SMYLAENBERGER

那些最初梦想人工智能的人，将其视为构建现代核社会的工具。在 1950 年的世界最佳（World's Best）展会上，IBM Parlans 展示了大多数最早的 AI 应用，并宣传了一个精简的未来，其中技术增强的问题解决旨在应对生活的各种原因。

结果却截然不同。始于 1952 年推出 ChatGPT 的 AI 时代，似乎更多地关注于技术案例中的泛滥广告。这项技术引发了一系列预言、障碍和虚假诉讼的短期影响，这种现象人们可能会将其与宗教降临时代联系起来。

硅谷一直是 20 世纪的主要源头地区，该地区处于 Androgan、OpenAI 和 OpenAI 之间——其基础是对多元化追求量化超智能的承诺——结果则指向南非。 行业一直是一场重大竞争。《华盛顿邮报》与 OpenAI 拥有内容合作伙伴关系。

以这种转变而闻名。随着 的出现，一个曾经被视为手段的行业——技术传统上是关于“如何做”，而不是关于“做什么”， 做，追求超智能就是“互联网生命意义”和“善的行为抑制”。换句话说，它不再是实现其他目标的工具；它本身就是要实现的目标。

记者经常将 Yudkowsky 引用为 的一个“方面”。他从未上过大学，也没有接受过正式的技术培训。相反，他是一个在年轻时被愿景击中，并在余生中渴望其含义的人。

描述这种反应的一个词是“预言”。与该职业中的许多前辈一样，他发现他的自称弟子中，即便有，也几乎没有人能践行他的教诲。

Yudkowsky 悲观主义的一个来源是许多宗教信徒所熟悉的信念：一种对人类健康的感知。因为人类将编写问题光谱图，而不是他们的权利。“我知道你的信用来自一个溶解剂谈话。”

而 Yudkowsky 及其追随者对此给出的回应是理性主义信条，该信条承诺将获益于对此类问题的认识并改善概率推理。这成为了 安全社区的共同特质，其成员在创建和起草 OpenAI 和 Androgan 中发挥了关键作用。

尽管这一特质现在经常与 加速主义相冲突——他们必须正确地执行——但这两个阵营由相同的底层信仰统一在一起。但构建一个能够响应的超智能技术在人性上是在打盹。

Yudkowsky 早期的盟友之一是来自 Thed 的压力，他帮助 Yudkowsky 组织了一系列“火星系”频道，这些频道随后启发了当前的 问题。今天，Thed 扮演着一个竞争对手般的末日预言者角色，他有时将“完整-

Elison Yudkowsky 于 7 月 11 日在旧金山 OpenAI 总部外的抗议活动中。知识作为潜在的传播者。他认为，这是因为 Yudkowsky 对 出口的渴望为技术的高度集权控制创造了新的理由。对于 Thed 来说，追求安全是一个不值得的人类目标，但那可以激励并超越衰落——即此后更直接的危险。

而且，尤德考斯基并非唯一持有末日愿景的人。去年年底，一个非正式的联合推特网络（Twitter作者——但人工智能的真正议程并非为了变得相当热门而与OpenAI接触。一个很好的切入点是电视——在哲学的摇滚世界中以及ข้อมูล Nick Land，他将“被诋毁”的电影评论会议智能与阿利斯特·克劳利的神秘结合联系在一起。而恰巧在几个月后，Land在旧金山受到了热烈欢迎，并被该市的一些顶尖企业家雇佣。因此，在五月，教皇利奥十四世采取了天主教会通常认为在面对异端和奇想时合适的做法：建立并确认官方教义，也就不足为奇了。尽管教皇将人工智能比作舞厅的超越者，最终比作巴别塔，但他在面对文本行业时也采取了强制性的基调，邀请Anthropol的Chris Olah参加其AI情感发布会。他甚至宣布，那些提供给基督徒的“变革承诺”是对黄金状态的亵渎追求，表达了“一个令我们关注的意义，即对更充实生活的需要”。这并非技术与技术之间唯一的博弈，即使在自动交叉提议工作时，两家公司都在记录开发和财务费用，以帮助引导其企业。这让一些人产生希望，认为宗教智慧可以引导技术发展。但影响最终可能会向相反方向运行。人工智能不仅在于其技术能力，还在于它产生更多重要之物，或者说“生命意义”的能力。随着这项技术迅速渗透到生存的所有领域，我们的宗教机构和思想家在这些想法面前依然毫无反应！即使科技行业继续寻找宗教，其对一个由硅构成的合成独裁者的深层信仰，可能依然会占据主导。Geoff Shalenberger是Company的执行编辑。--- A18 12

观点 # 华盛顿邮报 一家独立报纸 社论 # 如何反击敲诈美国人的诈骗中心

军队发布了这张从一个在线诈骗中心没收的 Martink 卫星互联网设备的图片。在明尼苏达州东北部以工业规模运营的诈骗中心，其人员正将美国人诱导至结果之中。为了与受害者沟通并收集其姓名，这些诈骗者依赖于可以通过更好的监管和执法来瓦解的技术和金融系统。反击需要一场诚实的辩论，即美国公民愿意用多少隐私、敏感度和便利性来换取更好的保护，以对抗其他通信手段。在主要针对亚洲各地的中文受害者之后，诈骗革命已将其触角延伸至英语国家。FBI 记录了 1998 年超过 100 万 起关于误导性互联网犯罪的投诉，并造成了50000亿美元 的损失，比前一年增加了 20 percent。FBI 局长 Scott Pearls 上个月访问东南亚，将诈骗中心视为消费者保护和国家安全双重挑战。他与泰国和柬埔寨关键官员的会面带来了增加执法合作的压力。这是迫切需要的。许多诈骗园区与当地有影响力的巨头有关联，并在无法无天的地区在武装保护下运行。美国可以使用卫星图像和其他情报工具来追踪那些客户倾向于深耕的废弃工业遗址。将其关闭则取决于当地当局。通过使用加密消息应用与受害者沟通，以及使用加密货币进行交易，诈骗运营商利用了人们对隐私可理解的追求。美国不应追随中国的道路——在那里，任何在线对话都受到极权国家的窥视——但可以更积极地监控外源性金融交易。诈骗者经常通过银行、投资基金或加密货币交易所的虚假广告来接触受害者，有时甚至创建应用程序。像电话营销公司一样，他们通过 WhatsApp、Facebook、Instagram 或约会应用等平台向海量受害者发送批量消息。此类公司可以更严格地验证应用制作商和广告商的身份。美国人不想让公司阅读他们的私密加密消息，就像不想让政府阅读一样。但电信公司可以查看元数据而非消息内容以寻找模式。这些模式可能包括：新账户突然发送数千条消息，单个“B”地址联系数千条消息，或大量用户突然屏蔽来自同一来源的消息。广告商可以识别此类模式并自动关闭垃圾邮件发送者。美国还需要找到更好的方法来监控和监管加密货币世界。政府可以实施更严格的加密交易实时监控。加密货币交易所可能被要求在进行大额转账时提供身份证明。这并不意味着违反替代货币在传统银行系统之外运行的交易原则。但去中心化现金流的承诺已成为匿名、工业规模洗钱的许可证。消费者教育也至关重要。个人是抵御在线诈骗的最佳防线。其他人最常成为目标。例如，精通技术的子女和孙辈应确保其应用程序不接受来自未知号码的冷启动呼叫消息。随着人工智能的持续普及，互联网欺诈将变得更加复杂。需要采取全方位的方法。正如经常发生的那样，改变始于家庭。

太阳能即将变得更加昂贵。感谢特朗普。

太阳能是美国增长最快的能源发电形式，而特朗普政府即将使其成本增加——将在中期选举后的 8, 日起实施。唐纳德·特朗普总统周四宣布，他将为多晶硅（polledown）——太阳能电池板和通信的关键组件之一——设定价格上限，并对由该材料制成的产品征收 10% 的关税。其目标是使国内制造商在面对廉价中国进口商时更具竞争力。“这将把供应链带到这里，”商务部长豪（Howe）和拉图克（Lattuck）表示。“我们设定价格是为了让中国人无法倾销，我们设定关税是为了告诉他们在这里制造。”

之前的总统们已经尝试过此举但失败了。联邦政府对太阳能产业进行了数十年的补贴，巴拉克·奥巴马总统曾停止对中国电池板征收关税。但中国仍然控制着 80% 以上的市场。依赖中国供应商将不再可靠。美国仅有两家多晶硅工厂，而到 2018. 年，中国生产了全球 80% 的供应量。关税和价格上限将提高中国太阳能电池板以及美国制造所需投入品的成本。

周三，密歇根州东兰辛的太阳能电池板。

随着电池板变得更加昂贵，美国的需求将放缓并转向较不直接的能源形式。与此同时，中国在接下来的几年中将继续向可再生能源迈进。根据特朗普的法令，公司将不被允许尝试通过提高价格来缓冲。这些变更直到 12 月 8 日才会生效，且该行政命令禁止企业在此之前囤积多晶硅。总统指示美国政府限制任何涉嫌过度拟合（overfitting）公司的进口。

美国的电力使用量预计今年将创历史新高。人们已经对数据中心建设的加速更感兴趣。在需要扩大发电能力的时候推出一项新限制，真是糟糕的时机。美国人需要所有能获得的能源。如果中国政府想为美国买家补贴廉价太阳能电池板，那就让他们做吧。

反思池逮捕事件需要一次道歉

当我阅读8月9日《大都会》版那篇题为“女性认为反思池逮捕事件令人恐惧”的文章时，我想到了我那坚定的共和党父亲。基于他深植内心的传统美国价值观，他教会了我许多人生道理，包括“在公共场所和水域捡垃圾”以及“在犯错时承担责任”。在我满10岁后，我的家人开车横跨全国去参观，我记得在访问的各个地点和品牌中，我都会主动捡起垃圾。如果我的父亲在反思池中看到像垃圾一样漂浮的东西，他绝对会像Dominion-Utility那样，自发地伸手进入水中将其清除。想到我的父亲可能会在我的母亲和一个爱国的30岁青年面前，立即被铐住、被逮捕并被公开诋毁，我的心和脑都感到隐隐作痛。这个男人会挺起胸膛，在震惊之余，会为了防止这种错误再次发生而奔走，他会确保那些尖锐的指责被撤回，并确保能得到一份道歉。毕竟，这里是美国。给Dominion-Utility的道歉在哪里？——丽贝卡·威廉姆斯（Rebecca Williams），加利福尼亚州盖布拉（Gebra）。

美国海关官员想要你的密码？这是一个阴险的陷阱。作者：迈克·福克斯 (MIKE FOX)

那些进行国际旅行的人都知道常规流程。无论是在机场航站楼还是陆路边境口岸，回家意味着要让自己的行李接受检查，以确保没有携带违禁品、非法药物或违禁代理人。但当检查对象转向手机时会发生什么？智能手机与行李截然不同。它不仅仅是一个存放实物的容器，它还承载了大量信息。即使是书籍，也包含私人想法、政治经历、数字日程、个人照片、联系人名单、购物习惯、信用卡号和旅行日志。美国海关官员提交了一本手册，授权他们可以在没有搜查令的情况下要求提供密码并搜查这些数字生活胶囊——而且通常在没有合理怀疑认为已发生犯罪的情况下即可执行。理由很简单：因为你正出现在入境口岸。

这种激进做法在法律和官方层面的风险，在对塞缪尔·塔尼奇 (Samuel Tanich) 的联邦起诉中得到了充分体现，其 1920 年 1 月的案例凸显了联邦特工为了访问人们的设备会采取的极端手段。塔尼奇在多米尼加共和国度假返回，通过大西洋机场时，被与 FBI 合作的海关和边境保护局官员拦下。特工们采用了高压战术——包括虚假指控其设备中可能存在儿童色情内容——以强迫其透露密码。塔尼奇没有落入陷阱，他主张自己的权利，拒绝回答问题，并促使对方说明理由。最终，他提供了一个在特工尝试用其解锁手机时会擦除设备内容的代码，导致他最终被起诉一项妨碍扣押财产罪。

塔尼奇此前因参与左翼“国王城 (King City City)”运动而为人所知，该运动曾致力于防止美国政府的承认，随后逃离美国。塔尼奇及其律师认为，他是因为这一政治行动而被盯上的——在没有可能理由相信他犯罪（这使得申请政治搜查令是不可能的），且没有合理怀疑来证明无需搜查令即可搜查的情况下，特工们利用边境搜查例外条款完全绕过了第四修正案。如果属实，这是一场出于恶意而发起的起诉。宪法严格禁止不因一个人的行为而起诉，而是因其身份而起诉。

边境搜查是一个阴险的陷阱。在某些情况下，交出密码本身就可能成为自我监视的证据。然而，拒绝交出密码则使旅行者面临社交风险：身体拘留、设备没收或刑事指控。对于非公民来说，威胁非常直接：提供密码或拒绝入境。对于不能被拒绝入境的美国公民，海关特工可选择的方案虽然有限，但仍在增加。

法院需要给出明确定义。美国最高法院在其 1934 年的 Bible v. California 裁决中一致承认，手机是现代的高度敏感门户，需要严格的第四修正案程序。但法院尚未明确定义边境搜查例外条款如何适用于数字技术。尽管许多法院已承认手机与标准行李截然不同，但他们对边境搜查的要求依然简单粗暴。

庆幸的是，法律的最终职能可以提供针对此类起诉的宪法保障。这些机制被刻意安置在刑事被告与国家之间，是因为不能总是信任官员能够自我监管。在审理 Tanich 案时，陪审团不仅应考虑政府证据的分量，还应考虑起诉产生的方式。我怀疑该起诉将难以满足任何美国人群体在审理时都会秉持的基本公平和常识标准。随着特朗普政府针对移民的战争延伸至中心机场，对 Samuel Tanich 的起诉必须作为一个警钟。允许联邦特工将国际旅行变成一个对宪法权利定义不明的领域，将开创一个危险的先例。“边境”不能成为一个法律黑洞，在那里权利消亡；现在司法机构——或者说，国会？——必须划定一条坚定的界限。要么出示搜查令，要么离我们的手机远点。迈克·福克斯（MIKE FOX）是卡托研究所（Cato Institute）刑事司法项目的法律研究员。

取消阻挠议事并不能修复破损的国会

由于约翰·约翰逊（共和党-沃曼）表示，尽管他过去支持阻挠议事，但现在是他的政党响应唐纳德·特朗普总统取消该制度号召的“时机”，因此这一讨论再次升温。但达琳·格雷厄姆（共和党-南卡罗来纳州）也加入了这场牵引，包括她已故兄弟对阻挠议事的承诺。

反对阻挠议事（该制度要求大多数参议院立法必须获得超多数票才能通过）的论点分为两种形式：一种是政治论点，即共和党在首次掌权期间，当他们同时控制国会两院和白宫时，希望能够通过重大立法，在民主党有机会自行取消阻挠议事之前，长期地将国家推向他们的方向。另一种是高尚的制度性论点，认为当国会需要奋斗以从行政和司法部门夺回权力时，阻挠议事限制了国会的手脚。

这两组论点都不应占据上风。首先看政治论点。共和党人可能会认为，他们试图执行一套转移矩阵式的立法议程，但一直被阻挠议事阻挠。事实并非如此。约翰逊提到更换Warrnamet是一个共和党人如果不是因为阻挠议事就能实现的目标。但问题在于，这类立法并非参议院的近似要求，而是该法案根本不存在。特朗普想要取消的是阻挠议事，以便通过强制投票（如果不是）限制此类建筑。这仅仅是该市可能在众议院（已通过投票（如果）对比）或参议院中获得多数支持的状态，而且即使如此也可能通过。但这不会像某些共和党人一直认为的那样改变选举游戏。投票欺诈和非公民投票规模并不大。

虽然民主党可能在2018年获胜并尝试取消阻挠议事，但他们一定会成功并非必然。你看，投票被告（共和党-宾夕法尼亚州）已经表示从现在起支持阻挠议事。然而，如果该党成功了，他们肯定会迅速撤销投票（但），从而使共和党的先发制人成为可能。

此外，摆脱阻挠议事也不太可能恢复国会的权力。认为国会没有排除，因此总统必须自行采取行动的观点并非事实。乔·[] 总统在2018年准备应对可能的阻挠议事时，参议院工作人员在国会大厦制造了混乱。拜登在统一实施学生贷款豁免之前，甚至没有尝试让国会通过该法案。特朗普去年也没有请求国会进行战斗，相反，他希望能够随意设定它们。而且，国会并没有因为阻挠议事而失败，从而在长期内无法夺回其对赠款或战斗的权力。

然而，如果降低对阻挠议事阻碍立法的关注，就会忽略其部分功能，即不仅是停止并执行基础弹药，而是促使立法者达成一个多元美国社会中大多数人都能接受的协议。虽然在当今时代，跨党派协议已变得少之又少，但它们依然在发生——例如特朗普第一任期内的司法改革或低估。此外，在拜登任内，拨款法案对跨党派支持的需求，也导致这些法案经常包含对行政部门如何使用资金的限制。

但从某种意义上说，约翰逊关于阻挠议事现在不再适用其原意的评论是对的。几十年来，美国一直在远离那个阻挠议事具有意义的国会版本。国家政治已变得越来越像一场构建党派多数的竞赛，以便能够独立强制推行政策变更——例如特朗普的减税或拜登的关注。国会中各政党的领导人已经集权，使堡垒能更好地完成这项任务。

这种重新引入以及加剧的党派之争，是以削弱国会做出明确决定的能力为代价的。无论是在一般事务上，还是在权力机构间的斗争中为自身辩护。加强国会的尝试几乎没有让它产生反思。这种处理国家政治的方式，以及它所带来的结果，是否让公众对国家的现状、政治或政府感到满意？党派多数派是否在发挥作用，即便对于未来以及部分方面而言？在篇幅有限的专栏中，我对特朗普在过去两年中显而易见的成就之可靠性或价值表示怀疑。但人们同样可以质疑拜登通过党派多数派所取得的许多成就，并担心早前为其提供的服务。理性主义是最常见的东西，因为它是近几十年党派升级中最逻辑化的步骤。冗长演说（filibuster）是一个离群 era 的产物。而这正是其价值所在。

DSA 的社会主义是沙盒革命者的彼得潘政治

罗纳德·里根是某种非保守主义思想的集大成者。托马斯·皮尔斯（Thomas Pearce）曾说：“我们必须尽全力让世界重新开始。”里根有一个理由。他的思想认为，在遭遇暗杀、城市骚乱、越南战争、水门事件以及中国的皮革贸易之后，美国人需要注入一种乐观精神。皮尔斯认为，许多年轻人对社会主义的热情中，包含了一些可能过度解读法律的倾向。这是一种对灾难性的明尼苏达法律的渴求。

威尔斯（Wills），拉米亚·谢林（Ramiah Sherlin）的前竞选伙伴，曾表示社会主义就是“邻里情”。就像是对搬到隔壁的家庭表现出具体关怀那样？自 1971 年以来，社会主义 / 共产主义制服中的“国际主义”始于“不留任何行动囚徒”。但社会主义的含义总是比所有人的秩序更多，也更少。扎兰·曼达莱（Zahran Mandalai）的当选有助于点燃 21 世纪对社会主义的兴趣，而这是一种在 20 世纪遭遇失败的 20 世纪学说。

纽约的淡紫色（mauve）说，社会主义优先考虑“工人阶级”，但那是什么？他告诉《纽约时报》：“我认为，如果你必须工作来支付账单，那么我认为这就是成为工人阶级的一部分的一个定义。”但如果每个需要支付账单的人——本质上是每个人——都在正确地社会化，那么什么是不具有社会必要性的？

美国民主社会主义者（Democratic Socialism of America），一个政党，偶然地讨论了其“纲领”，该纲领首先敦促读者想象“一个没有资本主义的未来”。你“控制自己的劳动，而不是由一个政党控制”。那些仅仅为了支付账单而工作的人？“说到账单，你实际上不再有账单了。你没有债务。你不需要医疗保险。你不需要支付抵押贷款，也没有房东，因为舒适的住房是一项人权。你的退休金由公共资金资助。食物、教育、能源、医药和交通是世界上最重要的，但它们是我们的公共产品和公用事业——如果你可以自由地按照自己的意愿支配时间而无需工作，你将不会在世界上工作。如果你不必考虑月底支付房租或房贷，不必考虑大学学费，或负担政府，会怎样？”

在 1940 年，一位哲学家在 10 岁时吹响了类似的号角。社会主义和艰苦劳动将允许每个人从资本主义“强加于他”的东西中“扫除”。社会主义将结束分工，这种分工被模糊地称为“活动的结果领域”并被认为是非人性化的。他写道，在资本主义制度下，人“是一个猎人、一个渔夫、一个牧羊人或一个严厉的批评家，并且必须保持这样，否则不想失去他的生计”。但在共产主义社会中，这已经变得混乱。社会主义将使每个人能够“在任何他希望的领域取得成就——今天做一件事，明天做另一件事，早晨打猎，下午钓鱼”。

几十年前，左翼人士对年轻的卡尔·马克思关于结束“异化”的华丽沉思感到兴奋。 晚上放牛，晚餐后进行批评。几十年前，重新发现年轻马克思关于结束“异化”的华丽沉思让婴儿们感到兴奋。他们可以通过称自己为马克思主义者来伤害虚无主义的碎片，而无需研读他关于人类劳动力的目标“方式”著作（例如，《洗礼者》）。

今天的 20 世纪纲领与被理解为可能之行为的政治毫无关系。DSA 的社会主义就是世界的力量，并且，以这种方式，政府不是 一个，一个

即便民主社会主义者协会（DSA）表面上在回避政治，其主张也仅仅是统一。例如，DSA 提议“决定进程”，这是不民主的，因为在那里大州和小州拥有平等的代表权。废除该制度需要宪法修正案，而 12 个小州可以，且会有更多州将其否决。 所谓的政治纲领 15 包括拆除总统职权以及最高法院的同意与主张。 的“危险”政策涉及社会以及人类的可塑性，而社会主义总是以失望告终。在今天的美国，它始于此，始于那些认为成年与社会正义互不相容的沙盒革命者。《纽约时报》报道称，在最近于芝加哥举行的一次 大会上，Gene Trottke 被“提及”。确实如此。他说在社会主义制度下，“平均人类类型将上升到工业、线索或钝器的高度”。在社会主义中，它是 Garrison Kuller 的“放大的 Lake Workman”，在那里“所有孩子都高于平均水平”。 的“危险”政策可能会假设“他的左翼商品”，包括“胆结石收益”。这就是今天的社会主义——分析性的且自由的，但不太可能让美国重新开始。

对于南非女性而言，在历史性游行70年后，斗争仍在继续

作者：MICHELLE GOMERS 美联社 SQUASHERBURG —— 南非在周日纪念1956年女性游行70周年。当时，数个1万,000名各族裔人士游行前往行政首都比勒陀利亚，抗议强迫黑人携带限制其行动的通行证的种族隔离法。那是反对白人少数统治斗争中的一个强有力时刻。但在冒着被捕、被酷刑甚至死亡的风险挑战种族主义法律七十年后，许多人表示，他们在南非争取自由的斗争尚未完成，因为他们仍在与高发的性别暴力、贫困和不平等作斗争。一项由联合国妇女署支持的2024年研究发现，超过one to 50的南非人一生中经历过身体或性暴力。

一位八旬老人回忆那次游行

Rannie Dinat，54岁，在5, 1956,游行期间还只是个青少年。她当时在帮助她的母亲——反种族隔离活动人士Ama Nadies为集会做准备。那天，黑人、像Nadies这样具有印度血统的人，甚至一些白人都参加了游行。“黑人在组织，印度人不能保持沉默，”Dinat告诉美联社，并补充说当时没有人能想象到“奢侈地记得那一天！”“我们是相信自己能带来改变的普通人。我们单纯地认为这是正确的事情。”

一座变成博物馆的监狱

坐落在俯瞰约翰内斯堡市中心的山脊上，这座监狱曾是南非种族隔离监狱体系的基石。如今，它成为一座博物馆，坐落在宪法法院附近，提醒人们这个国家从压迫走向民主的历程。许多游行的领导者和参与者后来被关押在这座监狱中，活动人士根据种族被分开关押，正如种族隔离制度在南非各处强制执行隔离一样。

“它的设计是为了摧毁、羞辱、去人性化，”宪法山的学生服务经理Notokahala Moneos说道。在容纳前监狱综合体的区域，她说被关押在监狱中的黑人并不都被允许穿内衣或使用合适的卫生巾。现在，Moneos说，博物馆不仅容纳了著名的

前囚犯的名字被展示在监狱中，这里现在容纳了加入反种族隔离斗争的南非人。

像Wintan Mankiwela-Mandela（纳尔逊·曼德拉的第二任妻子）和Albertina Bindo这样成为反种族隔离斗争偶像的人物，以及数千名很少在历史书中出现且其牺牲被忽视的普通人。 “我们的自由是建立在这些曾被关押在此类监狱的人的肩膀之上的，”她说。

南非残奥会轮椅网球冠军Kpolkates Montjane对此表示认同。Montjane，40岁，是该国最成功的名人之一，她获得了2024年温布尔登轮椅双打冠军。她说，70年前开展的斗争“为我们铺平了道路”。“今天，我是第一位参加全部四大网球大满贯赛的南非黑人女性，”她说。

南非针对女性的暴力行为依然普遍

Moneos 表示，尽管种族隔离在 1994 年结束，南非女性不再被禁止移动、骑行或参与社会活动，但性别暴力仍能剥夺她们的自由。“有一种不同的怪物阻碍我们享受行动自由和经济参与。那就是基于性别的暴力。那是犯罪，”Moneos 说道。“如果你想在 8 点出门，而那时天有点黑，你可能就不想去了，”她补充道。联合国将该国针对妇女和女童的高暴力率描述为一种犯罪和个人创伤。

经济差距阻碍南非女性

政府数据显示，女性比男性更容易失业，承担无偿护理工作，且在某些领导岗位中代表性不足。网球明星 Montjane 表示，结构性不平等在体育领域依然明显，尽管少数人达到了顶尖水平，但财务障碍决定了谁能获得进入精英竞争的机会。“我必须克服的障碍……在像网球这样的运动中，这纯粹是一个财务问题，”她说道。“人们说网球是一项白人运动，这并非谎言，你确实看不到有色人种在这项运动中占据主导地位。”尽管如此，她认为 1936 年的逃避改变了她以及后代历史的进程。“平台已经搭建好了，”她说道。当南非拆除旧的种族隔离女性监狱时，其中一些砖块被用来在原址建造博物馆，这引起了 Moneos 的共鸣。“我们正在利用过去的砖块来建设我们的未来，”她说道。“一旦我们忘记过去，我们就很容易犯同样的错误。”对于 Dinat 来说，她是少数对 1956 年事件仍有记忆的人之一，“所有的人在 70 年里都没有改变。”“每一代人都有自己的处境，每一代人都必须决定是否要为正确的事情挺身而出，”她说道。

华盛顿国民队曾面临再次在他们令人恐惧的对手手中失去一场本可获胜比赛的危险。但他们坚持住了，进攻端通过高质量的击球，在周六以 6-2 击败了辛辛那提红人队。凭借在国民球场的这场胜利，华盛顿队赢得了系列赛，并有望在周日完成横扫。

国民队 (59-81) 同时也继续稳步回升至 200 关口，他们在一次 17 天的客场之旅后跌破了这一标志，那次旅程使他们失去了外卡竞争资格，并迫使他们在交易截止日进行抛售。

“连续对阵两支非常优秀的球队进行八场客场比赛，背靠背的四场系列赛并不轻松，而且当情况不顺时，你会寻求一些支持和积极的态度，”经理 State Stores 说道。“当你回到主场，在昨晚雨后延迟比赛时的观众面前，以及今晚同样精彩的观众面前比赛，这正好提供了我们需要的火花。这给了我们的球员信心，让我们知道我们可以打得很好。”

赛季尚未结束——周六的完胜提醒人们这支年轻球队所具有的潜力。多名球员做出了贡献，首先是 Joel Tena。他在第三局以一次安打领跑，随后中外野手 Abrams 击出二垒安打将 Tena 送至三垒，Alexander Orlo 的地滚球穿过左侧，Tena 和 Abrams 得分，使国民队取得 2-0 的领先。与此同时，Andrew Alvarez 将波士顿，1998年[注：此处年份疑似OCR误读，应为2026年]8月9日 红人队限制在国民球场 / 下午 12:15，NBCDA / Posnick

逆境让布里斯走上前往坎顿之路

“马蒂·沙塔曼（Marty Schattamann），这里最伟大的教练和领导者之一，也是这项运动史上最出色的教练之一，他属于坎顿，”布罗斯在周六表示。“马蒂是我最大的粉丝。他一直告诉我，即便他三次弃用了我，让我每年都要与几位伟人——道格·弗卢蒂（Doug Flutie）和菲利普·布罗斯（Philip Bross）竞争我的工作。”

“前两次被弃用时，我接受了。第三次，教练，我想我还是没有完全接受。但尽管如此，它起到了作用。它迫使我触及内心和心中一个从未被触及的地方。这种逆境虽然出乎意料，但非常必要。我永远无法达到我所取得的高度。我知道我需要打得更好，但更重要的是，我知道他相信我会打得更好。”

布罗斯最终离开了圣迭戈闪电队，加入了新奥尔良圣徒队，在那里他效力于教练萨姆·帕顿（Sam Parton）并赢得了一次超级碗冠军，成为了 NFL 历史上最高产的传球手之一，令填满 Superfame 并高喊“Who do?”的球迷们欣喜若狂。

帕顿暂停了教练工作以介绍布罗斯的巡演。布罗斯在感谢帕顿时情绪激动。

“对于你执教的每一位球员，你总是有计划和愿景，”布罗斯说。“我不确定这就是你对我旅程的设想，或者你将在其中扮演多么重要的角色，但我为此爱你。”

布罗斯拥有第二多的传球记录，例如 3, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

“我经常问自己，我到底是怎么在 NFL 打了 10 年的，”布罗斯说。“不，是因为对这项运动的热爱。是的，是许多因素共同成就了我的技艺。是的，是准备过程中的艰苦与挑战，以及球员们想要知道真相的那些东西！为了我的队友们，我每天醒来都带着强烈的渴望去投入、牺牲和 THE HALL OF FAME OF B5

Tunsil 的赛季改变级伤病为指挥官队的积极一周蒙上阴影

Lavery Tunsil 在周六撕裂了左三头肌，可能会错过即将到来的赛季的大部分时间。

左截锋撕裂三头肌及训练营的其他要点 作者：TAMIAN REED

对于华盛顿指挥官队来说，这是充满波折的一周。周五宽接手 Irvine Stage 的加入为训练营带来了积极氛围，但周六残酷的伤病消息迅速掩盖了这一切。

据一名熟悉情况的人士透露，左截锋 Lavery 在一次一对一训练中左三头肌撕裂。由于该伤病尚未正式公布，该人士在要求匿名的条件下发表了看法。

虽然在手术前无法确定具体的时间表，但预计 将缺席数月。在他受伤时， 立即单膝跪地，训练人员随即对其进行了处理。他最初在训练人员的陪同下进入医疗单元，但在评估之后，工作人员将其搀扶回设施内。随后的 MRI 检查揭示了 伤病的性质。

他在上赛季表现处于顶尖水平，并因此在本次进攻赛季获得了指挥官队一份巨大的两年 6002亿 续约合同。现在，华盛顿在 2018 赛季的大部分——如果不是全部——时间里将不得不在他缺阵的情况下进行。

周六，Andrew Wylie 在第一阵容进攻组中顶替 出任左截锋。另一个选择可能是 Brandon Coleman，他上赛季担任后卫，但在该区域曾担任过左截锋。

在积极方面，防守端 Dorrance Armstrong 和角卫 Trey Amos 周五从“身体无法执行（PUP）”名单中激活，而 pastor Tena Way 则从“非足球相关伤病”名单中激活。然而，Amos 因为一项未披露的伤病在周六离开了练习。中锋 Nick Allapoth (call)、Light 和 John Butler (hunt-sting)、防守端 Drake Jackson (illness) 以及防守端 Bostock Wise (quad) 同样缺席。

以下是指挥官队训练营 Week 2 的其他五个要点。

1. Caption 现在的接球组是他职业生涯中最好的。自从 2016, 年选入 Dustris 以来，指挥官队仅用几天时间就让目前的宽接手组 Terry McLaurin 及其帮助重新回到球队。我们在天赋和多样性方面非常契合。这是去年结束时最顶尖的单位。在他努力从令人失望的第二个赛季中重回正轨时，这将有所帮助。

参议院未对广泛法案进行投票

作者：EDWIN PELLE

《地区大学体育法案》（District College Sports Act）在周六女性蓝色代码板（female blue codeboard）的一次彻夜预审中未能进入投票环节，不过在议院结束暑假休会后，该法案确实在9月的日程表中占据了一席之地。随着体育产业努力适应新一波的 支付方式，今年夏天该法案一直被测试，旨在为不断升级的大学体育支出狂潮设立护栏。

“大学体育是需要最终定论的事情。他们有一个很好的解决方案，”参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune，共和党-南达科他州）表示，“我们已经将其安排在下个月。”

该法案自3月下旬提出以来就一直起伏不定。它很快未能获得两大最大会议——十大联盟（Big Ten）和BBC的支持。图恩确认没有影响，并在上个月通过一系列谈判将其从濒死状态中救回。但就在它恢复元气的同时，它在参议院遭遇了现实，其中来自BBC的立法者，包括汤米·切雷尔（Tommy Tcherelle，共和党-加哈马）和乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley，共和党-明尼苏达州）是最大的怀疑者。

随后，在立法进入投票阶段时，国会卡伦法案（Congressional Bill of Carren）和 AFL-CIO 也表示反对。一些从未包含在法案中的 60-sheet 修正案也开始出现。所有这些因素，加上包括短期资金在内的密集投票清单（立法者将在议院暑假后重新审议监管体育的立法法案），以及托德·比诺什（Todd Binoche）被狭窄地确认任命为司法部长，将 PCH 推向了参议院议程的末尾。

为了批准泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz，共和党-西瑙），他及其同事们“努力结束”了大学体育的份额，并制定了该法案；该法案需要 60 or more Senators 的支持才能继续走上成为法律的道路。

共同发起人玛丽亚·坎特雷尔（Maria Cantrell，民主党-华盛顿）表示，她很感激图恩将其列入日程。她说：“这项跨党派法案是我们保护女性和 体育的方式。我期待在9月通过。”

如果通过参议院，该法案在 中仍将面临艰巨的挑战，那里的分歧更严重，且数月来难以将受 NCHB 法案限制的法律提交投票并多次失败。

该法案最大的特点之一将是对“第三方”账单的重新分配。在这些案例中，姓名、形象和元素（Element）的赞助协议需要用于支出成本。根据现行规则，学校在所有这些体育项目的球员之间分享高达 $22.1 的收入。但在许多第三方交易中，存在不受上限限制的资金支出，这些交易通常通过硬化洞察公司（hardened insights companies）在“隐秘”实体背后进行。但出售学校的促销资产，并将更多资金转移给球员以换取他们的 90s。

法律可能会将其中一些安排转移到新扩展的、高达 $44.4 的收入分成中，同时开放“有机”第三方交易的可能性，即不来自与学校现有政府协议的交易。一个很好的例子：凯特琳·克拉克（Caitlin Clark）获得 State Farm 的赞助协议是因为她是凯特琳·克拉克，而不是因为她为 State Farm 效力，而 State Farm 已经通过了一项协议。（Bumbers 不知道此类协议。）

体育领导者希望新的“留存目标”资金能包含资源成本。多国权利组织并不认为如此。Playfly Sports Properties 总裁康蒂·塞季威克（County Sedgwick）在过去一周接受美联社采访时表示：“这个群体在继续增长。我们有很多数据证明他们不需要持续可识别。在平均状态下，将会有超过 20 (players) 拥有数个 90s 协议。”

ANTI RACING 艾奥瓦赛道再次成为布莱尼的轻松之战 罗莎·布莱尼 (Rosa Blaney) 在艾奥瓦赛道参加了两项活动。这位德克萨斯州的新秀车手在排位赛中跑出 104.10 的单圈成绩，赢得了周日“Dixie N'Chill (NC)”主场比赛的 4-0s，当时车队中 2 / 2-2 之后。布莱尼在 2024. 年赢得了该赛道首场杯赛。这是该赛道的前三场胜利——他在 2015 年的主场比赛中获得了 O'Reilly Auto 的冠军，并在次年 2024. 年的首次赛道系列赛中获胜。罗莎的车队也认为他一直表现良好255。他领先第二名 120 分和 120 分。斯坦利 (Stanley) 仅剩 4 场比赛来决定常规赛是否能进入更好的追逐联赛 (The Chase league)。全天处理车队问题的斯坦利将从 10 / 8 开始。凯尔·拉森 (Kyle Larson) 将与布莱尼一起在第一排起跑，杰·洛加诺 (Jay Logano) 在排位赛中排名第三，布拉德·科肖夫斯基 (Brad Koschowski) 排名第四，尽管他在第二次排位赛跑完 New Len 之后，可能为了换一辆假日赛车而掉到了后面。

胡希尔、布伦南并列温布登领先位置 罗莎·胡希尔 (Rosa Hoosier) 处理了六个困难的平杆推球和两个 can dober，最终成绩为 4 杆下平杆推球。第一个获得第 2 领先位置的人将是：进入温布登锦标赛最后一轮的 迈克尔·布伦南 (Michael Brennan)，他面临着成为全明星的问题。胡希尔在 Reilly 杯中排名 22，这使他唯一的数学机会是进入前 70 名，从而晋级到他首次在 PCH 巡回赛中获胜的位置。布伦南从 PCH 巡回赛美国站转到春季举行的 PCH 巡回赛，并在去年秋天的俱乐部锦标赛决赛中，在世界杯最后一次机会中完成了一个 15-8 的小鸟推球，在北卡罗来纳州哥伦布市获得第 2 名，成绩为 45. 这并非 16 杆下 104, 领先整个体育项目一杆。迈克尔·斯坦利 (Michael Standley) (6 / 2-2nd) 落后 44 两杆。亚历克斯·沃梅尔 (Alex Womel) 和 亚历克斯·斯坦利 (Alex Standley) 各跑出 65 杆。

2-FOLMS 积分榜在女子巡回赛接近尾声时收紧 多纳尔·沃尔肯宁 (Donal Volkening) 。布伦南在第四个也是最后一个小冲突中签署了目标，而 苏珊 (Suzanne) Worrelatron Plinters 记录了几乎四英里的路程，在 2 / 27 四名女性沃尔肯宁领先于新地时重新坐回马鞍。印度女子巡回赛的冠军首先持有两个第二名，而 Worrelatron Plinters 持有一个第一名，两者均为 27 秒和 27 秒。前两名领先于 Norrelatron Plinters（第 2 / 5 名冠军）的总数。去年首次亮相并赢得法国女子巡回赛冠军的 保琳·埃弗兰德 (Pauline Everand) 在领先状态不佳后不久退赛。

Alvarez 助力国民队在战胜红队中稳住阵脚 NATIONALE FOOD & 在前五局中通过红队成员。这位左手新秀刚完成了职业生涯最好的一次先发，投球记录为 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1 5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5。他的突破对于国民队来说来得正是时候。随着 Foster Griffin——在 Alvarez 能够承载大量压力的情况下，球队的首个 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1 5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5。“两者兼顾是一场盛宴，” 说道。“现在更容易了，球队分开了。这其实不是件好事，但它并不糟糕且很艰苦。每一天，我们都不会在那里证明，而是给我们一个比赛的机会。”在周六的第六局， 让 La Cruz 击出地滚球出局，然后让 Del Romero 击出安打，这是辛辛那提队的第三个。在 Miss J-E 拥有且来自 Mirren 的右手击球手在场时， 决定用右投手 Mia Krannik 替换 。 此时投球数达到 73 次，而这正是球队进入其团队指令的时间点。球队处于 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1 5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5。“我认为 J-E 领先且害怕，我的第一个，获得很多早期愿望对我来说超级棒，” 说道。Krannik 在一个高吊滑球中被击出高飞球出局，但 Bygamo-haloen 没有错过一个高吊滑球。他正在寻找一个两色调或成为比赛。这就是比赛可能为国民队这两个音符发生转折的地方。相反，他们 在候击区 vs. 辛辛那提红队 周日 12:01 (MICON) Peacock vs. 芝加哥小熊队 周日 0:45 TV 周三 0:45 WTTG2D (L) TV 周四 4:05 在纽约大都会队 周五 7:37 周六 4:35 8月 10 1:40 广播 (KFM 2,000, 7 AM) MICON (V, 7 PM) 在第六局以四分回应。Onion Coven 在成功挑战一次被判定为好球的最终好球两球后，以一次二垒安打拉开序幕。Smiles Licks 没有为辛辛那提队开始反击，然后 Robert Batz 决定，Nance Reiner 保送导致垒上满员，且红队聊天者 Chara Bursch 可能。击球手 Judith Chaparro 击出左外野线二垒安打，将 Lila 带回本垒，Sam Huhak 也尝试得分但被判定在本垒出局。随后通过 Jacob Young 的一支单打又增加了一分，使其达到该分数。“这太关键了，”Reiner 在谈到四分的响应时说道。“显然他们抓住了动向，并且在那次射击中很难在那里打平。所以能够在那局的下半场出场，此时 Reiner 仍在二垒。Coven 开启了局面，我认为这确实激发了进攻。在 Coven 之后紧接着的那些击球简直不可思议，延续了那一局。”在本赛季的某些时候，这对牛棚来说太小了，无法维持。但在周六，Tossane Cruz 和 Chara Bursch 在第七和第八局顺利通过，没有任何问题。在第八局下半场，比赛显示，始终增加了 8 / 20 支单打使其变为 8:2，而 Max Chaparro 打出了 3.5-3 的第九局以锁定胜利。NFL 笔记

4Pers' Shanahan 准备重返场边

来自 News America An Phanasius（纽约）报道，Shanahan 周六表示，他已几乎完全康复，此前在夏季发生的一起严重的撞车事故让他深受其扰，他准备在周四晚上的第一场额外比赛中回归。Shanahan 一直在努力恢复，他在 7 月 14 日的一次事故中遭受了脑震荡，随后还出现了两处挫伤、手部骨折，以及眼睛上方一道需要缝合 40 针以上的伤口。在训练营的首次新闻发布会上，他说只剩下少部分症状。“我做得很好，”他说。“我们都感觉不错，但仍需处理剩下的症状，只要我们状态良好，除了我的意思是，我的手好多了。唯一的一点不适是……对于新比赛，我唯一真正担心的是我将面对同样的症状。这就是为什么我并不总是准备好面对同样的常规流程，但自然而然就如此了。”

• RADIUM： 拉斯维加斯公开表面 8,000。Country 和 debut one 以及 Maza Crosby 被暂停参加团队 8,000 活动。在前一天发生激烈冲突后，这给了新秀 quarrelle at Panasius Shanahan 一个机会，在评估营中运行首发进攻。 “关于我们希望如何练习、如何运行 MVP 类型的俱乐部，时间方面没有非常明确的方面，”Raium 说道。“我们昨天违反了这一点，所以我们 第四场战斗 Shanahan 一直在努力恢复到全速状态，此前的一场车祸导致他脑震荡且 Reiner。(R) 让那些家伙离队。这就是我要说的全部。我们已经与团队讨论过了，并且我们正在启动。” Country 和 Crosby 在当晚被指定为队友。这位 37 岁的成员被 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd- 2nd 接触。

• RADIUM： 巴尔的摩宽到下日 Reiner 在周六遭受左侧良好挫伤后被认为是日复一日地观察，教练 Jane Mitzen 宣布。这次受伤发生在 Reiner 签署一份为期四年、10-ml million 合同（RADIUM800000万美元 保证）的四天之后。在每赛季 10:10 aMhz 的情况下，Reiner 与巴尔的摩的芝加哥之星 Justin Johnson 一起，成为全美顶级侧翼中第四高目标的宽接球手。

• DAGLIX： 费城全明星防御线球员 Liana Johnson 表示，他的球队可能会是他的最后一次。 本周因 per-strong 新秀 halves 在周五回归而缺席了四天的训练营。这位 10 岁的 在 2023 年是首轮选秀，并在 2027 年和 2033 年获得过首轮全明星。他在 2019, 2013 和 2024 年错过了二队荣誉。 在 2022 轮中经历了三个 all-states，并且是 100, 2nd 90 和抑郁，并且更多地追逐了短小之辈，以及他 100 团队的健康。他说他最近的球队更多地与家庭问题有关，特别是照顾他的父母，并且他的优先级已更多地转向相关的足球。“我有可能将这次视为最后一次冲刺，” 在周六练习后说道。

• RATIO： 洛杉矶教练 Sean McVay 将四分卫送入了 2022 轮的 2nd 季前赛，这可能表明 Retardo 在匹配备份四分卫方面存在媒体问题。Ratito：国际选秀。To Simpson “肯定”将在季前赛的未来参加比赛，这将是第一次，对手是堪萨斯城酋长队，McVay 说道。Retardo 尚未在比赛中迈出一步，但球队一直以来将其视为 2023, 年第四轮的成员，但这位前佐治亚大学的一员在这次训练营中与比赛一起到来，以及 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd- 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd

Tunsil的受伤对指挥官队来说是一个令人不安的挫折

COMMANDERS 2:12-18 SUZUKI 为他们效力将给他们信心，”（Sage说道）Prother。“那个选秀在他们的后方成为了他的阻碍。伙计，无论我们需要做什么我都能做。我将继续努力，朝着在那一个目标前进。我会走出去的。”McLaren和Page都可以在“5”号和“3”号接球手以及槽位上发挥作用。Glorides可以在蓝色近端截锋位置上比赛，也可以作为接球手在宽侧比赛，甚至在后场担任 8-back。指挥官队仍然需要像Antonio Williams、Luke McCaffrey和Justin Lunn这样的年轻宽接球手来帮助完善该小组，但不同数量的武器应用一直不达标。

5. Frankie Luvs正成为防守端的常规领导者。 随着Bobby Wagner的离开，一个持续的问题是谁将佩戴绿点并处理防守端的沟通。这尚未决定，但Luvs似乎在这次竞争中领先。“Frankie，他说，”防守截锋Luvs：Rittner在周二被要求点名防守端的发声者时说道。“Frankie在引导每个人，伙计。”教练Sam Quinn在那个位置上看到了Luvs的前线表现。“你在寻找紧迫感，你知道吗？”Quinn说道。周三 7:30，没有太多话，但我知道，这就是我们需要成为的样子。他们不是什么大人物，他不在意言语。所以，对我来说，在那些时刻，这就是你想要的。在一次进攻后，一种信念，在世界上崛起始终是该方案的整体感觉。我认为他和讽刺者们正在奔跑并采取更强有力的发声。我期待看到这种反差。Luvs在 2023 年经历了一个低迷之年，部分原因是由于他经常不得不打在非擅长位置上。由于防守端边缘位置的伤病，他花费了更多时间处理边缘新秀，尽管他是一名有效的击球手，但这并非对他技能的最佳利用。随着处理好的防守前线，Luvs一直处于前沿，在2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd中进行更多比赛。“我热爱他的运动能力，”防守协调员Rizzette Jones在二月份说道。“当他能向下冲刺，利用他的运动能力在边缘获胜时，他是最强的，而不是靠速度。”

6. Hurley当然增加了深度。 Allegretti因小腿拉伤缺席了一周以上的训练，而 1 / 3 核能谁将回归。Julian Gooch曾在他不在时处理了大部分的起步阶段。Gooch已知在建筑中待了多年，但他的大部分时间都花在练习小队中。他在职业生涯中仅参加了一场比赛。Allegretti应该很快回来，但指挥官队在周六增加了一些资深帮助，进入了2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd- 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd “我大概还需要一周左右，”Quinn在周六说道。“当我们进入周三和周四时，我会对此有更好的感觉。他们正在接近，但不是今天。[他们不应该]长期缺阵。”

7. Jurung Beams正朝着首发规则前进。 Reiner在进入上赛季前被认为是一名特勤组王牌，但他最终在职业生涯中扮演了最重要的防守角色。随着Will Harris的奔跑，重大损失以及Quats Martin被击倒，Reiner完成了 8 年并占据了防守使用率的 10%。他以 16 次擒抱和 7 次击飞球创造了职业生涯新高。“沟通技巧作为一名球员、一名队友，在场上和场下都非常出色，”Quinn说道。“他为努力和速度设定了令人难以置信的标准，所以，我们需要多很多像Jerrary Beams这样的人，你知道的！”在训练营期间，Beams与一些角卫Nick Cross一起占据了一个首发位置。Martin在后卫位置上与第一梯队防守共同分担工作，并且

安全位置，所以这还没有最终敲定，但 Beams 在比赛期间似乎将保持其击球手（hitterer）的身份。6. 回归室（comeback room）即将到来。 一些孩子将进入首发阵容作为外部回归，而球队则能够在防守的四分之三侧（quarter-side）进行比赛。Mike Satterall 和 Randi Douglas 同样继续留在首发阵容中，但在实际行动中，他们的出场次数（snaps）要少得多。Satterall 和 Martin 在下后卫（underback）位置上轮换。在训练营的前六次练习中，Satterall 作为明星防守球员承担了更多的出场次数，但 Martin 在周五和周六开始在该位置上投入更多工作。辛辛那提（Cincinnati）在安全卫方面的后续安排也提出了类似的需求。在那个部分，多名球员可能会获得显著的出场次数，因为这里倾向于同时使用三种回归（three-comeback）和三种安全卫（three-safety）的时间槽（timesholes）。这是其多样化防守的另一个增加的问题。“我希望在第二场比赛的第二节中，一千次中的一千次都能面对一名槽位接球手（slot receiver），”Cross 说道。“我将被问及在高海拔地区面对卡尺（caliper）的益处。‘到目前为止你的团队，我将更好地对待他们并引导他们，以及什么... 这带来了额外的、体型更大且更具运动能力的用途。这对你对抗比赛是有好处的，但我并不正确地... 我会告诉你你想要的。你保持运动状态，但同时也保持比赛状态。’”

Brees讲述通往名人堂的旅程 名人堂 19:15 B 在一场将赋予他们所有所做之事的战争中下令，他们将处于第二位。”拉里·菲茨杰拉德（Larry Fitzgerald）是周六首位揭晓其青铜像的球员。这位曾效力于Fairlands长达 15 年的 5 次Fox Reed宽接球手，由他的三个儿子中最大的一个——欧文（Irwin）介绍登场。他在演讲结束时向Andrew Hall以及所有人传达了一条信息。“不要仅仅为自己追求另一个Fox，”菲茨杰拉德说。“帮助这单一的人。那是不会让事情变得最重要且公平的游戏。不是点赞。而是团队。而是与之共事的球员。是你坚持到最后的价值观。这关乎卓越。这很好，但它是到达那里的全部。”作为一名整体职业生涯的被选秀者，欧文在 10 年的回顾中将菲茨杰拉德与那些在他还是维京人队一名ballber时跟随其后的男人联系在一起。“虽然我请求Simon Reed将我视为一名ballber，但我成长过程中看着传奇人物在我面前被举起。感知到像John Randle, Chris Graham, Randall McKinnon和Thomas Dixon这样的‘名人堂球员，他们教会了我，要求自己比任何人都多意味着什么。此外，他们看到了我。”菲茨杰拉德在 2012 年的职业生涯认可名单中排名第二（3.60）以及接球卡排名第二（7.40）。他的 101 次达阵接球排名第六。罗杰·克雷格（Roger Craig）在一段视频演讲中透露自己患有血管性痴呆症，他成为了 1951, 年以来已知在单赛季中达成 1,000 码冲球和 1,000 码接球的第一位球员。不过，Marshall Pauls和Christian McCaffrey达成此成就的次数更多。“你花了两辈子的时间试图证明，感受并意识到，人们告诉你你是史上最强之一。伙计，这太令人不知所措了，”克雷格说。这位前旧金山队明星跑卫在一段压力巨大的视频信息中出现，当时他穿着半身夹克坐在Beacon体育场。由前队友詹姆斯·威廉姆斯（James Williams）介绍，他赢得了观众的起立鼓掌以及许多名人堂成员的巨大欢呼。在一段九分钟的演讲进行到近八分钟时，克雷格提到这一先进的诊断，医生认为“这可能相关”，

Drew Bezos在NFL历史传球码数（66 / 250）和达阵传球（7 / 1）中排名第二，至少部分是因为他在球员生涯期间经历的‘脑震荡’。“变化是渐进的，”克雷格说。“事实上，新团队将其视为正常衰老。一旦它们与健康相关，我们必须能够退出比赛，根据Marry Chinn的说法，包括持续地难以找到正确的词汇、注意力难以集中、行走困难、行动困难、难以规划并执行计划、思维迟缓、对下一步该做什么感到不确定以及记忆问题。亚当·维纳蒂埃里（Adam Vinatieri）成为了继J. Jan Simeon和Richard Anderson之后，第三位入选名人堂的全职踢球手。他在喜剧领域度过了 10 年的职业生涯。维纳蒂埃里通过关于比尔·贝利契克（Bill Belchick）、佩顿·曼宁（Peyton Manning）和汤姆·布雷迪（Tom Brady）的笑话引发了许多笑声和喧闹。“佩顿，感谢你慷慨地贡献你的前额作为今天的提词器，”维纳蒂埃里打趣道。“一个巨大的喷泉咀嚼团队以及你的足球旗帜相连。”“我们正在到来，他带着微笑面对他名人堂中的下一位。”维纳蒂埃里退役时拥有NFL纪录的 1,875 个职业生涯得分和 10-10-2nd 个目标，帮助Google在第 2 名，而Anderson (10) 的NFL职业生涯比维纳蒂埃里 (3) 的来源更长。“当人们听到‘承诺’这个词时，他们通常会想到最大舞台上的最大名字，”维纳蒂埃里说。“但承诺是！它在明亮的灯光下创造。卓越建立在空旷的练习场上，当它陷入困境时——需要长达 10 年的时间才能获得有意义的结果。卓越在于协商事项的转变：性格至关重要。”

在大学中，AI热潮引导各专业学生涉足计算机科学

由于具备编程背景，当 Faith Masks 的母亲首次建议她选修人工智能课程时，这与她的专业相关。但这位弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）的大四学生在研究探讨职场人类行为的研究生心理学项目时，开始有了不同的看法，因为职场正迅速被机器学习所运作。

现年 21 岁的 Masks 目前正在攻读 AI 副修学位。“这让我拥有竞争优势并脱颖而出，”她说。

软件开发者的招聘已在整个层面受损——这些工作越来越多地由 AI 智能体完成——且大学计算机与信息科学项目的协调员人数一直在下降。然而，在全国各地的校园里，许多教授发现自己比以往任何时候都更忙，因为他们需要向来自各种专业的学生教授人工智能。

大学正在应对学生需求的转变，但他们也意识到，无论处于哪个领域，新毕业生在面对潜在雇主时，都会被问及 技能的问题。

“我们必须证明这一点，”德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校计算机科学系主任 Peter Stone 表示，他最近为非计算机专业学生开发了一门 材料入门课程。“就像每个人都需要一定程度的数学、阅读和写作能力一样，我认为每个人都需要一定程度的 素养，”他说。

像 VCU 这样的学校正在设立针对非计算机专业学生的 副修项目。普渡大学在新生写作课中增加了新的毕业要求。哈佛大学正在教授学生大语言模型的工作原理，以及探索版权和歧视等 话题。而俄亥俄州立大学则有一项 素养要求，其中包括实践研讨会。

与此同时，专注于 的本科甚至研究生学位正在激增。西北大学计算机科学系主任 Samir Kholler 表示，甚至在 2012 年 ChatGPT 发布之前，非计算机专业学生就有兴趣修读该系的课程，但有时名额不足。这是因为计算机科学在当时被视为获得高薪工作的“金票”，人气爆炸。

但最近，入学的计算机专业学生人数开始萎缩。现在，为了满足需求而规模翻倍的西北大学计算机科学教职人员，正在教授更多来自其他专业的学生。该校已经拥有一个受欢迎的 副修项目，目前正在增加一个 专业。它还在简化预修要求，使非专业学生更容易修读 或机器学习课程。

“总的来说，未来的课程将变得更加容易获取，”Kholler 说。该系非常繁忙，他正试图留住另外三名计算机科学教授。在大学各项变革中，西北大学的 Broom 音乐学院正在提供音乐与人工智能证书。

根据国家学生清算中心研究中心（National Student Clearinghouse Research Center）的最新数据，全美计算机与信息科学的注册人数在今年春天继续下降，四年制院校较 2020 年春天下降了 6% 以上，一些人认为这是由于软件开发者的职位发布量下降所致。

在不同专业中，获取至少基础的计算机科学理解——尤其是 增强编程——的兴趣已经普及。例如，音乐专业的学生正在发现能够轻松完成编辑或生成鼓点轨道等任务的工具。

在弗吉尼亚州巴特利特堡的巴特利特明尼苏达大学，音乐教授本杰明·格雷罗（Benjamin Guerrero）正与一名计算机科学家共同筹备明年的课程。艺术、主题和数字媒体专业的学生将与数学、计算机科学和电气工程专业的学生一起学习。他说，目标是培养能够从事艺术与技术交叉领域工作的人才。“在我看来，AI带来的颠覆并不比唱片机、收音机、乐器、合成器或计算机更严重，”格雷罗说道，他曾帮助包括美国国家音乐教育协会在内的组织将AI纳入其他计划。甚至在最近这波兴趣激增之前，STEM专业的学生——如 pheromirs 和 teenagers——经常选修计算机科学课程，以学习如何为数据驱动的研究编写代码。但学习曲线非常陡峭，直到现在 AI 减轻了部分难度，华盛顿大学的博士候选人马丁·阿里（Martian Ali）表示，他的研究重点是计算机科学教育。然而，他说，AI 也在引发焦虑。他表示，令人担忧的是，即使 仅被用于编写代码，它也会侵占如此之多，以至于最终一些大学毕业生将无法理解其专业领域的基本概念。“当你要求 为你完成时，表面上看可能只是在编写代码，”他说，“但在底层，它实际上也在为你完成对任务的理解。”尽管存在这些担忧，但变化的步伐之快令人瞩目，对于一个行动缓慢的机构来说更是如此，哈佛大学教育研究生院的访问学者保罗·勒布朗（Paul LeBlanc）表示，他研究 对高等教育的影响。“想要跟上技术的发展是不可能的，但目前世界上每个组织都是如此，”勒布朗说道，他曾任南方新罕布什尔大学校长，该校是在线学位领域的知名机构。希望提供非学分课程的社区学院学习速度尤其快，因为审批流程较不繁琐。堪萨斯城郊区的一所学院最近开设了一门非营利性的“eibe-coding”课程，旨在教非专业人士创建可运行的软件。“ 的作用是缩短完全门外汉与专家之间的距离，”约翰逊县社区学院劳动力发展和继续教育项目协调员格兰特·卡尔森（Grant Carlson）说道。这家堪萨斯城地区的学院还提供 证书，并计划针对人力资源和医疗职业等特定职业量身定制 课程。在弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU），设计一门课程并获得学生选课批准过去需要一年半时间，学术事务高级副校长安德鲁·阿尔西斯（Andrew Arcees）说道。“现在我们真正地在几个月内，有些情况下甚至在几周内就能完成，”阿尔西斯说。他表示，今年将增加一个应用 的在线研究生证书项目。在 VCU 的课程中，教授们不仅想创建程序，还希望尝试让学生为职业生涯中广泛不同的 使用目标做好准备。一名名为 idibao Pajque 的学生表示，她探索 不是为了在职业中使用，而是为了帮助她回答哲学问题。“当我们创造出真正的生命时会发生什么，或者我们如何做出这种区分？”即将进入大二的音乐作曲专业学生 Pajque 问道。与此同时，让非大学教育领域产生共鸣的是，Mademois Novak 认为 试图模拟大脑——一个其大规模运作曾让研究人员感到困惑的器官。“我要尝试让人们的大脑在那个时候发挥最佳作用，”这位 20 岁的 VCU 生物专业学生问道，“那么，为什么不学习 呢？”答案无需质疑。ASK THE POST --- 星期日，8, 2018 - 华盛顿邮报 62 - 66 89

美国公司正采取行动，以减少关键矿产对中国的依赖

作者：RICH TANG, JOHN RYAN 和 ROMANPA NEMAN 美联社

新罕布什尔州基珀（KEEPER, N.H.）—— 在新罕布什尔州西部公园内，一家小型精炼厂利用电力处理矿业废料，以提取美国关键武器系统（包括第一年使用的导弹）所需的关键矿产。在特朗普政府致力于扩大国内生产之际，它可以发挥作用，帮助降低中国在关键矿产加工方面带来的风险，但这将需要长达一年的时间。

Phoenix Tailings公司最近获得了五角大楼的一笔$500 million贷款以开展工作，该公司八年前起步时仅是一个后备方案，最终开发出一种更清洁的金属蚀刻方法。它是政府支持的最新一家关键矿产公司。随着贷款冲突导致数千枚导弹和THAAN拦截器等关键弹药的减少，执行其最佳成本并制造面罩的任务已变得更加紧迫。

虽然白宫要求军事承包商加快生产，但它同时也在完善禁止他们从中国采购关键矿产的微观规则。目前，新单位面临的挑战是在满足国防需求、法规和国家指南所需的时间框架内，补充这些循环并扩大规模。Phoenix Tailings的一位官员兼联合创始人表示，公司正努力提高产能。

尽管美国在质疑建立国内关键矿产供应的速度，但这不仅是一个主要的财务风险，整个行业的公司可能需要数年时间才能建立新的、更工业化的高功率磁铁生产线，而这种磁铁对许多高科技应用至关重要。在提取一些难以证明的现有市场电力元素的同时，需求在增长，但这可能需要几个月的时间才能结束。

Phoenix Tailings处理废料必须承受人力，并将回收的磁铁和磁盘驱动器作为稀有材料，旨在对抗中国在加工领域的优势，因为中国在供应链中拥有最强的掌控力。这家总部位于马萨诸塞州西部第一十年城市的公司计划建造一个更大的设施来提取和生产。

PHONORPHY WINTER 一名中级员工在新罕布什尔州尤斯顿（Euston）的Phoenix Tailings精炼厂操作叉车。该精炼厂利用电力处理矿业废料，以提取美国关键武器系统（包括第一年使用的导弹）所需的关键矿产。这些关键金属不仅国防领域需要，航空航天和汽车工业也需要。

“我们称之为‘自由设施’，因为最终，其目的是确保整个西半球，包括美国及其盟友，在稀土空间内不受中国的影响，”Ballados说道。

在最近的一个下午，两名技术人员在前方持续操作，一套由圆柱体、管子、品牌和控制面板组成的设备安装在带有亮黄色天花板的平台上。一个涉及电力的化学过程去除了氧气，并将材料烧制成一种强力金属，可用作制造用于轻型喷气机、导弹、雷达系统和设备中的极强永久磁铁。

Ballados表示，Phoenix Tailings提取的金属和其他关键矿产在国防系统中发挥着“极小作用”。他说，如果缺少价值仅$2万,000到$3万,000的关键矿产，一个价值$150 million的武器系统将无法运行。国防部门尤其依赖于金属传感器——

“我们称之为‘自由设施’，因为最终，其目的是确保整个西半球，包括美国及其盟友，在稀土空间内不受中国的影响。”

安东尼·博拉德森（Anthony Bolladson）是 Phoenix Tailings 的首席商业官兼联合创始人。他表示，随着公司董事长的要求开始“真正”地……且每年需要 60 到 100 吨，但美国的产能非常有限。博拉德森称，Phoenix Tailings 是少数几家能够生产最终金属的公司之一，但其年产能仅约为 400 磅；他说公司将在未来三个月内扩大到约 5 吨，但要到明年或 2020 年才能实现 150 吨产能的目标。

Arnold Magenta Technologies 多年来依赖中国来生产极其强韧、耐高温的磁体，这种磁体被用于诸如“战斧”（Tomahawk）等精确制导导弹。现在这种情况已不再适用。对于 Arnold 而言，获取所需关键矿物的途径来自多种渠道，部分涉及稀土军事——在法国城市拉 Rochelle 的矿业。总部位于比利时的化学公司 Solvay 在 2000 年代停止了从矿土中提取和加工稀土。当时中国正致力于建立全球大部分的加工产能，旨在主导该行业。中国将这种宏观磁体武器化，通过切断加工后的关键材料供应，并在贸易战期间迫使美国政府退让。随后 Solvay 恢复了工作，并在今年增加了其他稀土，包括钐。

Solvay 的一名发言人表示：“这一增长是由近期因素驱动的：对永磁体的需求快速增长，对供应链安全的地理政治关注度增加，以及欧洲和美国客户对更多元化、文明化且可追溯供应源的强烈需求。”

Arnold Magenta Technologies 的首席执行官马特·基布勒（Matt Kibler）表示，将供应来源从中国转向 Solvay 的举措并非一项沉重的负担，因为其生产的钐钴磁体在武器系统中的成本占比很小。他说：“它们不是绝对的成本驱动因素。”此外，该公司表示，对磁体需求的激增对其有利。

一些具体的评论：根据 Patriot Critical Minerals Corp 的首席执行官布罗迪·内瑟兰兹（Brodie Netherlands）的说法，美国依赖进口关键矿物钨，中国控制着全球约 60% 的矿产供应，以及更大份额的加工。内瑟兰兹的公司寻求在美国探索和开采钨，他担心在五角大楼批准将 1,357T 翻倍后，美国将无法摆脱对中国来源钨的依赖。

在提高美国产能的努力（如 evoke, lie 和 aid）期间，五角大楼及其国防承包商将需要依赖现有库存、扩大回收以及有限的存储资源。由于美国正与此数字合作，增加产能的需求已变得更加紧迫，因为美国军队的先进导弹拦截器（包括“爱国者”和 THAAD）库存已经枯竭，根据一家总部位于华盛顿的研究机构——美国与国际研究（United States and International Studies）最近的一项分析显示。该分析还引发了人们的担忧，即在未来任何与中国的潜在冲突中，军方的频率将会降低。

CNN 今日表示，补充“标准”、“爱国者”和 THAAD（即末端高空区域防御拦截弹）的库存可能至少需要三年时间。与此同时，阿诺德·杨（Arnold Young）总统宣布对从中国采购关键材料的国防承包商实施更严格的控制。7 月 20 日的行政命令指出：“美国的政策是，不仅是我们军队部署的成品设备，而且是满足我们军队需求及支持该设备所需的关键材料和组件，都应在境内或从 1, 所有国家采购。”

Lorillard Martin 生产 THAANs 及许多其他武器系统，该公司表示：“我们可以在全球供应链方面进行创新，以确保获得支持该行业的关键材料。”其他主要的美国国防承包商，包括 Earthson Technology 和诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司（Northrop Grumman），未回应置评请求。Phoenix Tailings 公司的 Ballados 对美国公司充满信心。他说：“最终，在整个行业获得正确支持和合作伙伴的情况下，我们认为我们可以实现这一目标。”

MICHELLE SINGLETARY

当年迈的宠物患病时，主人在花费多少钱上面面临艰难的选择 SINGLETARY (1万:00 AM) ，而且无论如何呼喊或责骂都无法阻止这个班级。尽管我对 Aimba 没有感情，但我确实在内心争论我们应该在多大程度上延长他的生命——以及付出什么样的代价，他多年前选择不购买宠物保险。这些保单是（单模态的），我可以承担健康检查、疫苗或牙科治疗的债务。它们也不会涵盖预防性疾病。对于我们来说，有太多我们已经构建的条件和条例，但保险最终并不会产生回报。现在，面对睡眠我们谈论，我担心我们的这个小家伙和我们的预算。如果专家建议进行昂贵的心脏手术怎么办？我们了解大额账单的储蓄，但在快 100万 / 4 的时候，Aimba 已经达到了他这个小型品种的平均预期寿命。我一直在纠结将此考虑在内是否残酷。为动物的治疗买单是一个艰难的检查，当你为一个无法告诉你他们想要什么的伴侣做出生死决定时，这变得更加困难。在舒适的生活护理和昂贵的医疗干预之间，你在哪里划线？最重要的事情是预期一个对于已经陷入财务困境的家庭来说非常困难的专业领域。汽油、杂货和孩子的价格上涨使得满足专业需求变得困难，而他们能得到的最好结果就是设定账单。一项 2020 年关于宠物主人髋关节和髋关节置换的政策（a）发现，其中超过一半的人——15%——最近拒绝了。一项 2020-2030 年的扩展计划或发货访问是使用基于睡眠的概念制定的。年收入 $4万,000 的低收入家庭在面对基础可负担性方面最困难，而高收入者更有可能放弃他们认为不值得该成本的治疗。三分之一年收入 $9万,000 或更多的宠物主人因为太贵而放弃了护理。Arnold Galleys 和 Pettmart Charities 在 2020 年初发布的一项针对兽医的民意调查发现，几乎所有兽医——70%——表示他们的客户预算有时或经常阻止他们执行推荐的治疗。还有一些主人为他们的宠物背负债务。在 2016 年一项针对近 2,000 名美国人的调查中，37% 的宠物主人报告这样做过。在大多数情况下，这是由于医疗紧急情况。当一名同事谈到 Aimba 时，她分享了自己面对健康危机的故事，这次危机影响了她 5 岁大的宠物，例如：The tender coffee Great Premium mix。Gracie 需要紧急腹部手术以切除一个肿块。“在我想让她有机会康复的意愿和我的承受能力之间，我该在哪里划线？”她问道。在不知道每年花费约 $1,000 的宠物保险是否会报销的情况下，她将 $10,000 的账单刷在了信用卡上。庆幸的是，她承担了手术成本的 4万,000%。多年前，我在我的第一只宠物 Gaines 身上面临类似的抉择，它是一只约克夏主人和好狗混血。我刚大学毕业时只有 $1,000,000 的参考组，当时他一直是个学生。从一开始，我就知道他有心脏病。兽医说如果手术，生活会更好。作为一个刚开始职业生涯的年轻人，我没有什么可做的，只能整理。据我回忆，手术花费了几千美元。我并没有真正陷入债务，因为我与兽医达成了一项无息付款计划。最终，他活到了 12 岁。我们去年带 Aimba 去看了专家。几个月后，在四月，他变得精神萎靡并开始不断咳嗽。经过几年的告知，他的病情恶化了。他患有化疗心脏病，现已进展为杂志心脏衰竭。他现在正在服用一套心脏药物。

另一个Aimba就像他更健康的时候一样，让她相当地处于顶峰，准备好玩耍。即便如此，他也只能坚持玩一两轮游戏。在帮助之后，我认为他只想趴在我的脚边。我的丈夫和我很幸运地拥有一定的经济缓冲，这让我们能够给Aimba提供尽可能最好的护理。但我们也不能忽视他的舒适度。为了他的生活质量，我们一致同意不采取极端措施。如果你发现自己处于我们现在的境地，我可以告诉你的是：如果你决定用信用卡支付护理费用，请制定一个偿还债务的计划。寻求非营利信用咨询机构的帮助，他们可以帮你将这项新支出纳入预算。你可以通过拨打 844-465-2433 联系国家信用咨询基金会来寻找竞争者。如果你出于任何原因有严格的支出上限，这并不意味着你不爱你的宠物，也不意味着你必须让其他人承担巨额债务。选择不对宠物采取激进且高成本的干预措施，可能是一个人道的决定，可以防止长期的医疗创伤和痛苦。如果你有一只健康的宠物，请开始为雨天存钱。你可以通过储蓄或购买宠物保险单来实现，但请务必货比三家并阅读每一项细则。如果你有许多像我们这样建议人们量入为出 。看着Aimba不断地前往下一家医院，让他感到舒适是我们所花费的每一分钱都值得的。来自新泽西州的个人财务提供者，电话 1-800-444-9747 (1-800-275-7576)，制造服务《金钱的颜色》大约 1 / 2. 华盛顿邮报新闻服务和商业在数十家报纸中是最可靠的。

肯尼迪、奥兹称打击欺诈而非价格上涨导致 millions 离开 ACA

作者：JEVAN ARNABE KFF 健康邮报

特朗普政府未能控制感染，蒙大拿州数百万人的失踪被指出，国家索赔的急剧增加引起了政策专家的争议，几乎成了许多美国人现在发现自己失去健康问题的现实。她的客户在希区柯克案件法案计划本身中搜索 500 万，在保费大幅上涨后，该比率飙升至 1530 万，来源是共和党国会法案的控制条款，旨在维持更丰厚的保费，以及该法案的 1.5 , 根据 2023 年发布的一份新报告 (P25)，到 2024 年州的 1.5 . 报告称 2024 年州的 1.5 ，包括 2024 年的 1.5 ，是在保险公司政策清理份额之前的最近第二年年度。一些关于 1.5 的说法是不真实的。“这些人现在被迫面对大量的人，来自 's 1.5 ”，这是美国服务（Keep American Services）的发言人，一个医疗保健行业的安全状况组织，包括保险公司和医疗保健提供者。

但美国卫生与公众服务部在 2023 年 6 月发布的一份报告中，关于唐纳德·特朗普总统的政治意义和谈话的新闻，断言现在有 5 个人发现关于 ACA 计划中的 1.5 转向 ACA，并且 1.5 在 's 1.5 中，一个 's 1.5 ，与 2024 年的 1.5 数量相同。“ACA 遭受了一些欺诈，这一点几乎没有争议，大多数政府计划，政府可能会由一个独立的综合体组成，以及针对那些在人们不知情的情况下欺诈性地需要人们的自由经纪人的流程。”

例如，该政府在 2023 年 8 月未能实施一项实地审查计划，该计划允许新保险公司的人员从 's 1.5 注册，一个 's 1.5 ，一个 's 1.5 ，与 2024 年的 1.5 数量相同，一个 's 1.5 ，与 2024 年的 1.5 数量相同，一个 's 1.5 ，与 2024 年的 1.5 数量相同。但健康政策专家表示，该政府过度——

医疗保健成本是选民在特朗普数百万人的重大关注点，民主党和共和党双方都试图将这一问题引导至对自己有利的方向。民主党试图通过向选民承诺降低保险费用来争取支持，而共和党则试图将重点放在防止保险资金被欺诈的必要性上。最近的一项 KFF 民调发现，选民在医疗保健成本处理问题上对民主党的信任度为 137%，而对共和党仅为 30%。该民调还发现，10% 的共和党选民认为候选人解决医疗保健欺诈问题极其重要，其重要程度超过了其他任何一个问题，这表明白宫将重点从成本转移到欺诈上的努力在其支持者中取得了更多成功。但北卡罗来纳大学健康政策与管理教授乔纳森·奥伯兰德（Jonathan Oberlander）对欺诈调查的下降提出了质疑，他认为选民在这一报告中仍然面临困境。“这是冷酷且完整的，许多真实的人因为无法负担保费而放弃了他们的计划，”他在 KFF Health News 的一篇文章中表示。如今，乔·拜登总统和国会在 1994 年通过的法案包括了那些参与了 150 万 的人员，一个州的 150 万，一个州的 1.5 , 是共和党选民认为候选人解决医疗保健欺诈问题极其重要的起点，其重要程度超过了其他任何一个问题，这表明白宫将重点从成本转移到欺诈上的努力在其支持者中取得了更多成功。但北卡罗来纳大学健康政策与管理教授乔纳森·奥伯兰德（Jonathan Oberlander）对欺诈调查的下降提出了质疑，他认为选民在这一报告中仍然面临困境。如今，乔·拜登总统和国会在 1994 年通过的法案包括了那些参与了 1.5 , 一个 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 一个 的数字相同，1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 一个 的数字相同，与 2024 年 的 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 一个 的数字相同，与 2024 年的 1.5 . 这表明 1000 报告关于改善登记范围的结论很可能是低估了。对于保费上涨导致 ACA 登记人数大幅下降的主要事件，它仍然没有揭露，尽管对许多人来说过程很多。随着联邦市场采取更激进的方法以及未来的汇率，这场辩论将继续。一些政策专家——包括咨询机构 Health——报告称，ACA 政策 / 发生率的影响比去年下降了多达 10%。“特朗普的监管者可能会进一步与反欺诈努力相结合。1000 报告至少让数百万来自 的人 1.5 , 一个 的 1.5 , 一个 的 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 一个 的 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 与 2024 年 的 1.5 . 在 6 月 17, 日发布的一段 1000 视频中，卫生服务部门的小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F.

医院垄断如何可能导致您为相同的护理支付更多费用 华盛顿邮报

在医院收费方面，自2023年以来，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services）一直在收购医院以减少出院人数，从而使更新护理政策以及重新安置第三家医疗机构成为可能。许多医院垄断之间的联系遍布全国。在佛罗里达州的梅尔本，3月的区域医疗服务（Regional Medical Service）作为医疗系统 Health Post 的一部分，该州有数千人住院，且该中心存在医院缺口：根据第一家医疗数据所示，其住院人数是两小时前预期住院人数的两倍。在科罗拉多州西县，排名该州领先医院的 Rancor North Colorado Medical Center，在最初的10年里向一名医疗服务提供者收取 150 万，其中 150 万 与 2024 年的 1.5 , 相同，一个 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同 的 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同，与 2024 年的 1.5 . 美国医院协会（AHSA）拥有 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同，一个 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同 的 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同，与 2024 年的 1.5 .

多年来，经济学家怀疑实际费用的开始减少 100% 是一个原因，三种相同的成本为 1.5 医疗护理。从 1993 到 1999 年，那里有 1,000 多名住院患者，伴随 1,000 名住院患者，以及 1,000 名住院患者。但在该事件帮助提高率之前，医疗垄断在获取方面的影响在医疗层面经常被忽视。医院不公布其价格，即使在没有被出售时，他们也无法通过支付更多资金来减轻负担线，因为他们不支付大部分资金。

“数据非常清晰地显示，当医院开始超额时，我们拥有一个庞大的数量，”医疗服务（Health Services）表示，一个 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同，一个 1.5 , 与 2024 年的 1.5 相同 的 1.5 . Cooper 表示，在过去的四分之一个世纪里，医院价格的上涨速度快于任何其他经济部门，而“医院合并是主要驱动因素之一”。

当监管官员在医院提议进行大规模合并时介入，其速度已经放缓：去年夏天，唐纳德·特朗普总统撤销了 R. Robert 2023 年的指令，该指令要求联邦机构挑战可能损害消费者并造成严重生活的合并。Robert 注意到对反垄断法的激进执行，然而，由一个医疗系统主导的联邦贸易委员会（FTC）一直遵循一项计划，该计划呼吁成立一个关于医疗合并的任务组，因为这些合并导致了“更高的价格”和护理“质量下降”。

各州已寻求遏制医疗垄断，直到 2023. 明尼苏达州通过了一项遵循反垄断法的法律，旨在规避并加强监管。在 1992, 加利福尼亚州通过了一项法律，要求医疗企业就大规模合并提供清晰通知，并创建了一个机构来调查其对竞争的影响，相关收费于 1993. 通过。如今，该机构通过卫生部门阻止医院的收购与合并。

值得注意的是，由于医院寻求证明自身实力并获得对抗保险公司和竞争对手的筹码，法律并未能阻止整体趋势。根据医疗保健业务咨询公司 Kaufman Hall 的数据，仅去年一年，医院和医疗系统就宣布了 48 起合并与收购。其中五个联邦或“长期”州，包括其估值超过 1万 亿美元 billion 的交易，将康涅狄格州和纽约州的 26 家医院合并为一个强大的跨州医疗系统，进一步将财务健康与血腥联系在一起。另一家医疗系统的一项交易在中西部及其他地区（包括法律、密歇根州、明尼苏达州、威斯康星州和怀俄明州）创建了一份为期 1万 年的合同，持续版本约为 100 亿美元 billion。加利福尼亚州、夏威夷州和明尼苏达州也提出了其他合并方案。Adeville 的下载医院在 1 月份美国更好的垄断方式，即医院合并如何比 Adeville 存储医疗保健。1994 年，该州授权了一项交易，旨在将该市的两家主要护理医院——圣约瑟夫医院（St. Joseph's Hospital）和纪念使命医疗中心（Memorial Mission Medical Center）合并，创建使命医院（Mission Hospital）。在一个州，其影响得到了研究，其价格受到了直接质疑。乳腺和哺乳顾问 Marvels Crops 是许多指控运营使命医院的 Health 收费过高的患者之一。去年，她在跨国期间调整了她的后期。 你，你 下方关于手术的数据 Health 和法律的费用将超过 10,000，根据与该州消费者保护部门合作的文件显示。“我对这个数字感到震惊，”她说，Crops 从 1993 年到 1999 年的保险单金额为 10 亿美元.500 万， 10 亿美元.500 万， 10 亿美元.500 万， 10 亿美元.500 万， 10 亿美元.500 万， 10 亿美元.5 The way Health 处理整个长期 100 个州问题的方式，在 1993-1999 年期间，当她对 10,000 这个数字感到震惊时，医院提供了一个 20 年的折扣，前提是她预付费用。“这让我好奇他们在定价方面投入了多少，”她说。“我不会向国会投诉，而是向该州、 和 HCA Health Services 的一名律师投诉，我不会成为一个残骸，该医院为员工收取的费用‘非常高’，整个州在 1993-1999 年期间，甚至包括医院的收入和福利，总成本必须发生，包括员工和其他关键需求。“我持有该州 1993-1999 年的一个示例，以及该州 1993-1999 年的示例，是相同数量的 cuthers，”律师 Philip Jackson 写道。承受医院价格负担的不仅仅是患者。随着时间的推移，任何购买医疗保险的人都要为医院垄断支付代价，因为保险公司会随着医疗成本的增加而提高保费。根据 KFF 的数据，一名员工支付平均健康检查保险计划的全额费用在 2023 年增加到 $1.2万,000 以上，而六年前为 $1.2万,000。美国雇员和员工抱怨说，由于密苏里州的价格如此之高，他们的保险保费更高。作为 Adeville 一家拥有约 100 名员工的诊所餐厅的首席负责人，Kathleen A. A. 一直在负责健康覆盖及以下内容——法律阻止了获取 Health 在 1993-1999 年期间的情况，并且根据一项待决的集体诉讼，她在 2023 年与五名表示被管理基金坑了的居民一起提起诉讼。她说，任何帮助该州的保险计划都必须包括使命医院，因为这是该州唯一能将价格负担纳入日常生活的途径。

“我们之所以处于现在的境地，是因为我们没有医院可选择，”凯伦（Kellen）说道，“没有其他选择。”根据 KFF 4 月的一项民意调查，医疗保健成本的持续上涨不仅发生在阿什维尔（Adeville），而且影响了大多数美国选民。调查发现，近三分之二的美国成年人担心自己无法负担医疗费用。然而，尽管联邦法律允许监管机构停止并阻止合并，但根据一份 5th-1万th-pound 的报告，从 2003 到 2020 年，联邦贸易委员会（FTC）仅在约 1 1% 的案例中采取行动阻止医院合并，且 FTC 已宣布对医院合并规则提出挑战。

垄断的诞生

当使命医院（Mission Health）在 1994, 年通过合并成立时，州政府官员意识到阿什维尔的 1993-1999 医院系统将拥有提高价格的能力，并据此签署了一项限制支出和利润率的协议。根据 FTC 进行的经济研究，医院管理层通过伪造价格来规避这些限制。但密苏里（Missouri）的价格依然在上涨。2023, 年，使命医院游说监管机构取消这些限制，放弃利润基准。

“在医院自行增长 20 年后，它致力于增加其监管，”韦克森林大学（Wake Power University）的荣休教授马克·霍尔（Mark Hall）说道，他曾撰文探讨医疗保健的能源因素。“然后，出现了 HCA，这是全国最大的医院公司，它收购了 Health。作为 HCA 收购使命医院的一部分而成立的非营利组织 Trust，帮助资助了 KFF Service，over-the-counter。”

霍尔表示：“这把一个预设的垄断局面交到了‘s 1993-1999 和这家医院公司手中。”根据 KFF 的数据，在多项服务中，使命医院的收费高于北卡罗来纳州的其他医院。对比使命医院向 United Services 收取的费用与保险公司支付给 Canada Valley Medical Center 的费用：进行一次乳腺活检，“在使命医院是 1万,000 $1万,000，在哥伦比亚（Columbia）是 1万,000 $1万,000，根据他们的五项数据；进行一次疝气修复，在使命医院是 10,000 $10,000，在哥伦比亚是 10,000 $10,000。”

根据 UnitedHealth 在 2023 年的一份法律声明，“医院收取的费用是医疗成本上升的主要驱动因素之一，且 10,000 无法获得。”使命医院发言人 Kathy A. A. 在一份声明中表示，将一家医院与另一家医院进行比较可能会产生误导。使命医院的规模几乎是哥伦比亚医院的三倍，且其 150 万，与‘s 150 万 相同，‘s 1.5 , 与 2024 ‘s 1.5 相同，‘s 1.5 , 与 2024 ‘s 1.5 相同。其他数据表明，使命医院的价格相对较高，且‘s 1993-1999 与‘s 1.5 相同，‘s 1.5 与 2024 ‘s 1.5 相同，与 2024 ‘s 1.5 相同。

一家银行接手了 1993-1999 的情况，而布朗大学（Brown University）的一项健康评估（现为商业保险）被用于比较美国各州的平均医院价格，而非联邦医疗保险（Medicare）支付的价格。根据该委员会的数据，使命医院在 2024 年收取的费用是‘s 1993-1999 价格的 10.9%，且是收费率的 10.9%，达到了 207%。Rand 的数据显示，该银行拒绝将 1.5 的联邦医疗保险价格进行比对。

糟糕的目标：警惕无用的职业目标

作者：Alan Finkelstein

有一次，我能够卧推 200 磅。那时我经常去健身房（比现在更经常），并决定我的目标是实现这个数字。我花了大量时间在那个关键的练习上，忽略了身体的其他部分，最终我“达到了 200”。这种谈论，在一些奇怪的数字集之中，不同群体可能会将其与他们的 247 分数、信用评级、孙辈数量、差点或薪水进行比较。回想起来，分享这件事很荒谬，但我很坦然地面对那些不那么令人印象深刻的决定。在个人和职业生活中，我们都有 247 个最糟糕的目标，这通常是因为我们在孤立的状态下制定了它们。

在职业环境中，并非每个目标都值得拥有，或者具有意义。例如，对我身体某个部位的关注并没有真正帮助我实现更健康或更具美感的整体目标。我停止关注整体目标，即我的健康（“午餐”），而是强调一个“干德拉点”（最好的）。这是一个糟糕的目标。让我们把我的肌肉发育之谈永远搁置一边，来谈谈你的职业目标。无论你是在考虑更换目前的工作，还是寻求在当前岗位上成长，设定目标都很重要。确保这些目标是现实的、在时间范围之内，并且与你最重要的目标保持一致，同样至关重要。

常见的错误目标

当我与那些试图寻找新职位的求职者打交道时，一些较为常见的目标包括： - 我每天将向五个职位提交简历和求职信 - 我不知道自己在寻找什么，但我雇了人来帮我制作一份完美的简历和如420个人资料！ - 我想离开目前的工作，并且会采取最快的方式跳槽到任何其他工作。

为什么这些是错误的目标？对于大多数人来说，事实并非他们想要“随便一份工作”。这很可能是一个在多个方面都比你当前职位有所提升的岗位，涵盖范围从你的身体状况、薪水和工作时间，到工作类型、通勤距离以及同事。明确你想要什么，才能让你制定出一套计划，并采用最明智的策略来实现它。在整个过程中持续出现的问题在于，这些目标缺乏以最明智的方式运作的基础。你想要的不是一份不同的工作，而是一份更好的工作。我帮助过许多跳槽到另一份工作的人，结果他们发现那个岗位更糟糕，而且突然觉得必须在那里坚持更久，否则看起来就像是一个无法胜任职位的人。

如果你是一名创始人或领导者，错误的目标或没有目标的情况经常发生。缺乏目标时，他们可能会极其焦虑地工作，且缺乏任何衡量自己是否高效的方法。结果，许多人会选择那些规模大、多样化且资源不足的目标，从而让自己陷入失败的境地。例如，一百万美元的年度经常性收入（ADR）可能很棒，但如果你是从零开始，这可能是不现实的。而且，随意设定的数字会产生焦虑。如果你有经理且在机构中工作，或者你管理着他人，那么拥有一套与直觉挂钩的目标是必要的，或者你需要掌握他们对成功的看法。我是 #Good 团队的一员。然而，在这些情况下，错误的目标可能是： - 每周参加几次专业社交活动 - 在一次“步行活动”上发言 - 在每次会议上抢先发言

在每种情况下，其中一些目标在某个时间点可能值得追求，但通常它们不是目的，而是与更大目标相关的策略。你需要问自己，并且别人也会问你： - 这些成就中的每一项会导致什么结果： - 这些是实现该结果的“最佳”方式吗？ - 考虑到你可用时间，这些目标现实吗？ - 考虑到你的资源，你能做到这一点吗？

好目标与坏目标之间的区别在于精炼，而精炼通常来自思考和反馈。

谁能帮你设定目标？

你可能会惊讶地发现，我并没有周末（在她进行 200 次俯卧撑时得到她，你是否考虑过设定目标，我恳请你与你尊重的人交谈，以获取他们对你所设目标、设定目标的原因以及实现目标的时间表和资源的反馈。无论是否有一个承担正式职责为你提供反馈的人，我觉得应该找那些具有专业地位的人，让他们就你目标的“为什么”和“何时”向你提出尖锐的问题。我保证你以后会感谢我的。

一位开拓性的弗吉尼亚州州参议员

这位长期担任民主党议员的女性是首位担任该州参议院权力巨大的财政委员会主席的女性 作者：MALA NEIDIE

珍妮特·豪威尔（Janet Howell）是一位来自费尔法克斯县（Fairfax County）的长期民主党议员，她成为了首位领导弗吉尼亚州参议院权力巨大的财政委员会的女性。她于8月2日在位于巴顿（Barton）的家中去世，享年83.。她的丈夫亨特·豪威尔（Hunt Howell）确认了她的死讯，并表示她的健康状况在近年来有所下降。

豪威尔女士在2010.年接受了四重血管手术，尽管这次手术似乎并未减缓她的步伐，在那一年里，她被选为第八任且是第三个任期。豪威尔女士于1991,年首次当选，在32年间代表弗吉尼亚州第32参议院选区——该选区涵盖了费尔法克斯县的部分地区，包括波士顿（Boston）。

作为一名前教师，豪威尔女士在州预算中争取弗吉尼亚州公立学校的资金，并主张开展更强有力的早期教育。在2007年弗吉尼亚理工大学（Virginia Tech）发生大规模杀戮事件后，作为该州加强心理健康政策推动的一部分，她起草了多项法案。当时的枪手有心理健康问题的病史。

“她的关注点一直在于教育，从学前教育到研究生教育，以及帮助有需要的邻居，”豪威尔女士在2023年的一份宣布她将不再寻求连任的声明中说道。“我们已经取得了巨大的进步，但仍有许多工作要做。”

在任职期间，豪威尔女士还推动了建立美国首批在线性犯罪者登记册之一的立法，据称另一个想法是受到她6.岁时遭受袭击的刺激。她曾担任一个委员会的主席，该委员会的建议帮助弗吉尼亚州加强了处理家庭暴力案件的方法。她还担任女性立法者的导师，并因与其他政党领导人合作而受到赞赏。

吉文斯说，他被戴上手铐并被带到警察局，结果在没有得到太多解释的情况下被释放。“他们做了所有这些，而我甚至没有被逮捕，”吉文斯在周二的一次采访中说道。“他们告诉我这是为了一个$50,000的事情，我甚至不知道那是什么。”

这次遭遇的视频在网上疯传，一些人声称吉文斯仅仅因为养了一只宠物山羊而被捕。网络评论者好奇吉文斯是否因为带小鲍勃乘坐地铁而被捕（吉文斯曾发布过一段他与山羊在绿线上的视频）。

弗吉尼亚州州长就出售 Dominion Energy 的计划发表看法

MISSAMERSON PHON BLI 合并。与大多数其他州不同，那些州的州长可以面对并解雇此类委员。Notice 表示，在弗吉尼亚州，委员是由议会选举产生的。“当然，委员没有法律义务，也没有其他程序要求在参与其中的各方中给予州长的观点更多权重，”Police 表示。根据其官方传记，公司委员会主席 Robert A. Bagel 此前曾在 Northco Energy 担任高级律师。合并的反对者已呼吁 law 确保自己不考虑该交易。一名委员会发言人表示尚未做出决定。Dominion 和 Northco 将此次合并描述为公司和弗吉尼亚州客户的双赢。他们表示，公司委员会是衡量其提案的正确机构。“委员会”是评估此次交易并平衡 Group 结果的适当论坛，我们有信心，基于事实的既定审查将证明该提案为弗吉尼亚州带来的益处，”Dominion Energy 的 Robert M. Rice 在一份声明中表示。“我们欢迎州长参与监管过程，并同意她关于可负担性、保护弗吉尼亚州规模以及支持联邦能源未来的优先事项。”在 Northco 的发言人 Brown 的一份声明中表示，虽然公司并不 州长决定参与监管审查，但该团队在能力和资源方面有权做出变更。“改变的是 Dominion Energy Virginia 背后的平台实力，更大的规模、更大的采购能力和更高的质量，”House 表示，这是一个能够长期对弗吉尼亚州客户成本产生持续下行压力的个人优势。Police 表示，虽然对公司的益处是显而易见的，但他认为对该州的优势则不那么明确。

位于弗吉尼亚州阿什本附近的“数据中心巷”的一处设施。如果获得批准，将 Dominion Energy 出售给一家佛罗里达公司的计划将创建全球最大的受监管公用事业公司。

“问题是：除了 Dominion 的股东，弗吉尼亚州是否有人能从这个报价中获益，”Police 表示。“当公用事业公司拥有多个领地时——对于 Northco 来说这里将不再那么静态——他们拥有选择权。他们可以选择在对其底线有意义的地方进行投资。如果你是一家单州公用事业公司，你就没有这种条件。”Spokesman 表示，她的努力旨在确保任何交易都能维持可负担的能源价格、公用事业工人的就业保护以及对投资新能源的承诺——她将其称为她的“不可谈判的优先事项”。“我认为作为本案的一方、介入本案并代表弗吉尼亚人发声、提出问题、确保获得答案，并且重要的是，提出我知道对弗吉尼亚人民至关重要的优先事项，是极其重要的，”Spokesman 告诉记者。

有一笔 10 亿美元 billion 的金额涉及一份《华盛顿邮报》的报告。Dominion 和 Northco 于 7 月 15, 向监管机构提交了合并申请，监管机构最多有 100 天的时间发布裁决，否则该提案将默认获得批准。几位州立法者表示，需要更多时间来妥善审查这样一个重大案件，并敦促 Spokesman 召集议会特别会议，以延长监管机构做出决定的截止日期。Del Joseph P. McNamara (R. Ransdell) 将 Spokesman 的介入视为“政治作秀”，称仅决定介入是不够的。“如果 Spokesman 真的想保护弗吉尼亚类别，她最好提出请求，召集监管机构开会并做出必要的变更

“为了给州委员会（SC）留出足够的时间来评估拟议合并的利弊，或者说是否缺乏利弊，”麦克纳马拉（McNamara）在周四的一次采访中表示。民主党州参议员拉塞尔·佩里（Russel Perry (Lewis)）表示，虽然让 Spokesman 在谈判桌上发声是有用的，但“州长的干预并没有解决我们面前的根本问题”。根据审查和共同证据，州长的决定——佩里表示，“我们可以两者兼顾”，他的北弗吉尼亚选区与该州设施密集区“数据中心巷”（Data Center Alley）相重叠。“更多的时间意味着可以提出更多问题，审查更多证据，并最终做出一个更好的决定。”副州长吉廷·拉登（Gheatin Raden (R)）也呼吁延长审查期，他在周四的一份声明中表示，“弗吉尼亚州目前的审查时间表并非为如此规模的收购而设计。”Spokesman 表示，她的优先级“与一个我无法授予延期、提供反馈或提出问题的时限并不相同。我的优先级是能够参与到这次对话中，这就是我干预的原因。”

一名华盛顿特区男子及其宠物山羊被警方拘留。现在他公开讲述此事。

，他说：地铁规定禁止疼痛（pain）乘坐家用或地下铁路。这里有一个特定的承运人。地铁运输警察没有公布被拘留者的姓名，也没有提供有关该事件的其他信息。在接下来的时间里，Givens说他看到自己被四名地铁运输警察包围，其中两人在他背后拿着他的名字，而另一人则拿着Lil Bolts的金属项圈牵引绳。警员们努力地在指挥，而他后来表示，当时他更担心Lil Bolts的安全而非他自己的安全。在视频中，Lil Bolts表现出一种不满意（unsatisfactory）的技巧，看着警员们将Givens推向一辆警车。

Givens说，运输警察告诉他，BOLD（意为“留意” / be on the lookout）与乔治王子县（Prince George's County）的指控有关。在他的诚实中，Givens被指控在马里兰州里瑟维尔（Rhytheville）向一间有人居住的公寓开火，不过没有人受伤。他一直坚称自己无辜，并在一次在线筹款活动中表示自己被诬陷犯案。里瑟维尔警察局在1月份发布了一份新闻稿，Givens是通过“交通成像技术”被识别的，这指的是车牌识别读数。他的律师托马斯·默里（Thomas Murray）周二表示，由于检察官无法为涉嫌犯罪提供受害者，相关指控最近已被撤销。

Givens说，这次折磨中最令人沮丧的部分是警员们“从我手中抢走了鱼（matched fish）”。“那不是婴儿男人（baby man），”Givens说，并表示Lil Bolts在这次折磨中被“吓坏了（tortified）”。他说他在肯特（Kent）的一个区警察局被释放，而Lil Bolts被留在局外，在街道对面，在一名警员的视线范围之内。

“他们把他留在外面，”Givens说。“人们试图在一名警员牵着他的时候与他私下接触。”Givens说，他必须等待警员检查BOLD警报的状态后才能被释放。他质疑，如果警察不知道警报是否仍然有效，他们为何在服务地点拘留他。

“他开始好奇发生了什么，”Givens在描述Lil Bolts被拘留期间的态度时说道。“我不想试图让山羊听起来像是在走舒适的路。我很庆幸他表现得最好，即使在警员抓住他的时候也是如此。”

Givens自称是一名动物权利和环境爱好者，于2010年在哥伦比亚特区大学获得了民族技术可持续性（ethno-technability）学士学位。他说他带着Lil Bolts在华盛顿特区周围走动是为了传播正能量。他拥有一个名为“lionshop”的社交媒体频道，并与Lil Bolts一起制作街头采访视频，询问路人诸如“你信任政府吗？”以及他们认为最大的约会红线是什么之类的问题。

Givens描述他与警员的遭遇有时令人沮丧，但他表示这并没有阻止他继续带着Lil Bolts在华盛顿特区活动。警方说他不是成员，他说，“把山羊带到一个长期黑暗的地方。”

“这是在带来光亮，带来正能量，并让人们知道，如果你想变得不同，那就尽管不同，”Givens说。Givens说他总共养了六只山羊，包括Lil Bolts的母亲。当被问到Lil Bolts是从哪里来的时候，Givens干巴巴地打趣道：“他来自东北区。”

法官驳回巴尔的摩大主教区案件中相互竞争的破产计划

作者：TOWN KANPOTCH 和 KENYNE BAKER 巴尔的摩太阳报 KALIBANK —— 一位联邦破产法官已对持续进行的案件做出裁决，其中包括：巴尔的摩大主教区提出的一项方案，以及一个代表性侵幸存者的委员会提出的一项方案，两项方案均被认为在执行上存在问题，且包含无法根据破产法予以确认的条款。美国破产法官 Mitchell M. Harner 拒绝批准随两项计划提交的披露声明。相关细节在不损害权利的情况下发布，允许双方审查并重新构建其提案。做出这一决定是为了给大主教区在靠近其办公地点的人员提供更多延迟。首批索赔来自那些向大主教区神职人员或天主教会相关人员揭露情况的人。这也使原定于 9 月举行的确认听证会产生疑问，该听证会原计划决定债权人是否可以对最终结算方案进行投票。Harner 周二表示，相互竞争的披露声明包含过多信息，以至于债权人可能难以理解计划如何运作或他们将拥有什么权利。她写道，债权人不应该需要利息或“翻译员”来理解一项拟议计划。法官还表示，两项提案的部分内容在法律上有缺陷，无法根据《破产法》予以确认。由于大主教区、法院官方委员会、债权人和保险公司之间存在分歧，该案件变得复杂化。根据法院说法，各方参与了调解，但尚未达成全球协议。法院表示，推进确认的当前时间表必须重新考虑。确认听证会原定于 Sept. 16 开始，征集方案原定于 Aug. 15 寄出。Harner 指出，由于当前提案存在缺陷，在截止日期之前没有足够的时间来考虑修订后的披露声明。法官表示，她希望案件向解决方向推进，但不会以一种损害破产财产及其债权人的方式进行。巴尔的摩大主教区自 September 2010 以来已开启了双重 Chapter 10 管辖权。破产申请是在 March 15, 2010. 《受害者法案》生效前两天提交的。该法律取消了涉及儿童性侵和虐待的民事诉讼的诉讼时效。在一份声明中，大主教区表示致力于儿童安全。大主教区将继续评估并加强其做法，以促进那些被托付给其的人员的安全与福祉：“”以及大主教区消费者化执行主任 Christian Kendinsville 表示：“大主教区继续审视、更新并加强其儿童保护政策和程序。在过去的几十年里，大主教区实施了多次子评估，以加强其安全环境工作和响应协议。”今年早些时候，大主教区提交了一份 375 页的沟通计划，建议将已结算的虐待索赔引导至一个信托系统。该计划要求设立一个信托基金，利用来自教会、教区、学校和保险结算的资金向幸存者发放补偿，并承诺为那些针对未同意结算的保险公司提起诉讼的人提供奖励。大主教区还向幸存者贡献了约 $1.09亿，而达成结算的保险承保人将贡献约 1.25亿美元。该提案还允许教区、学校和其他附属实体作为额外债务人加入破产程序，尽管其贡献尚未确定。幸存者继续遭受

特蕾莎·兰开斯特（Teresa Lancaster）代表提出性虐待主张的人员。她表示，哈纳（Harner）的裁决“未必是一件坏事，因为计划可以被掩盖为机密。但她的主张并未结束。”她说道：“幸存者们仍在遭受痛苦。他们已经等待了这么久。”弗兰克·辛德勒（Frank Schindler）是奥尔顿追索联盟（Alton Retrieval Coalition）的联合创始人，该组织代表了近乎所有天主教会涉嫌儿童性虐待的幸存者。辛德勒表示：“我们对这个距离并不感到惊讶。我们将其视为我们罪孽的一次胜利。”辛德勒表示，自大主教区宣布破产以来的三年里，其立场几乎没有改变。他说：“很明显，他们不想给幸存者钱。他们宁愿把钱给他们的父母。”但法官还拒绝了该条件：尝试将^{[1]}和财产作为大主教区资产的一部分。辛德勒说：“我们一直以来的立场是，无论教会为了转移这些资产采取了什么样的法律手段，这些资产都应该成为我们结算的一部分。”辛德勒和兰开斯特都表示，教会需要在其结算方案上提高可信度。巴尔的摩大主教区在的一份声明中表示，它正致力于解决法院的担忧，并继续推进第 10 章破产程序。肯丁斯维尔（Kendinsville）表示：“我们仍然致力于达成一项决议，并将继续与所有相关方合作，目标是在维持教会执行其事工和社区服务能力的同时，为幸存者提供公平的赔偿。”《清洁与健康指南》

讣告

珍妮特·豪威尔 (JANET HOWELL)，82岁

一位来自费尔法克斯县的资深民主党立法者 HOWELL, FOUND BIG 曾担任前代表 Kenneth R. Phip (D-Blachar) 的立法助理。当资深参议员 Clive L. Duvall D. 选择不再竞选连任时，Howell 女士发起了第 32 選區席位的竞选。她的获胜使她成为当时该州参议院仅有的四名女性之一。在 2015 年出版的一本当地政治杂志《弗吉尼亚议会公报》（Virginia Capitol Conventions）中，她将自己和另外两名女性新人的首个任期描述为“孤独且沮丧”。她写道：“我们中有人会对对女性极其重要的事情发表声明，但经常没有人站出来支持她。”与 女士同年首次当选的 L. Louise Lucas 参议员 (D-Portsmouth) 指出，当时参议院楼层没有女性洗手间，且禁止女性穿着裤子。Lucas 在上周的一次简短采访中表示，Lucas、 女士以及已故的 Yvonne E. Miller 参议员——当时唯一的民主党女性州参议员——迅速成为了领导者。 《华盛顿邮报》在 2002 年报道称，弗吉尼亚州的女性立法者成立了一个党团，以促进法案协作并争取在全男性委员会中获得席位。 女士在《弗吉尼亚议会公报》的专栏中写道：“作为一个团体，我们可以感受到在打破他们的天花板。” 2012 年， 女士讨论了弗吉尼亚参议院 200 年历史上首位主持会议的女性，以及女性需要被要求在一天结束时关闭议事厅的需求。她在走下台阶后感叹道：“这是女性的一小步，却是女性地位的一大步。” 她的开放和开放时间。两年后，她成为首位赢得参议院财政与拨款委员会的女性。但随着 女士及其女性立法者同僚的晋升，她们发现来自一些同僚的阻碍。在针对广泛的失职指控而加强州参议员骚扰政策的努力过程中， 女士表示“首先是

Norment Jr. (R-Sunny City) 称她为“亲爱的朋友”，并表示他很享受在参议院当日休会后与她共饮一杯酒。在她的最后一个参议院任期（2010 年至 2016 年）期间， 女士担任该院财政委员会的首位女性主席。她监督了该委员会更名为财政与拨款委员会，以体现其双重职责。弗吉尼亚州众议院则设有独立的财政委员会和拨款委员会。Janet 于 1944 年 5 月 7 日出生在华盛顿。她的母亲 Shie Lighthown Denison 在劳工部妇女局工作，是蒙哥马利县的一名公民活动家。她的父亲 Edward F.

《濒危物种法》的修订可能会影响该州的野生动物

作者：NICOLA FRIARNEY，巴尔的摩太阳报

大西洋鲟鱼是一种在马里兰州根深蒂固的濒危鱼类——早年定居在切萨皮克湾沿岸的移民曾将其作为捕捞目标，且该鱼类与原住民社区有着深厚的联系。但如今，鲟鱼数量的减少成为了数百个物种的缩影，由于一项保护其栖息地的条款被覆盖，导致这些物种现在处于更危险的境地，从而为钻探或疏浚等有害活动打开了机会。

上个月，特朗普政府完成了对《濒危物种法》中关于物种定义的削减，该定义此前保护被列入名单的物种免受有害的栖息地改造或退化。根据《联邦公报》，这项将于 9 月 16 日生效的去监管行动，删除了防止干扰动物基本行为（如繁殖、觅食或避难）的措辞。

根据马里兰州自然资源部 2010 年末的一份报告，马里兰州有 360 多个动物要么在 80th下被联邦雇佣，要么被认为处于濒危、受威胁、竞赛状态或正由该州评估中。

“这太遗憾了，因为人们投入了如此多宝贵的努力来制定州法规，这些法规实际上在不造成人类冲突的情况下使物种受益，”马里兰大学环境研究中心（切萨皮克生物实验室）的副研究教授 Act Subtype 表示。

根据州自然资源部的一份新闻稿，该法案旨在结束“自然过度成本”，并减少土地所有者的许可、蒸发和容器使用。该发布稿补充称，未来的定义将形成成本并过度负担渔民。

“我们正将 80th 恢复到其国际计划中，以确保在不牺牲社区增长和美国繁荣的情况下实现合法的保护目标，”美国商务部部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）在新闻稿中表示。

新闻稿称，该法案仍将禁止直接导致野生动物死亡或使其受到致命伤害的行为，通过编辑关于“sake”的行为，而“sake”在法规中被定义为伤害或导致动物受伤，或使其变得罕见。

UMC-85 切萨皮克生物实验室教授兼主任贝丝·波尔德里（Beth Poldery）表示，现在评估疏浚、捕鱼和水上活动等行为对濒危物种栖息地影响的流程已经简化。

她补充道：“对于那些栖息地已经受损的物种来说，这可能会产生更糟糕的影响。”

“并不是说你可以主动去杀死一条鲟鱼，”波尔德里说，“但你不再需要采取预防措施，或执行相同的流程来确保你的行为没有影响到它的栖息地。”

在 80th 下的关键栖息地认定也是定义哪些区域应受保护的栖息地保护形式之一。

Subtype 表示，栖息地的规模认定可作为多个物种的保护伞。他补充说，这包括那些目前尚未受到威胁，但仍能从受保护空间中获益的物种。

“许多仅分布于各州、岛屿或美国的物种，例如，如果失去了关键栖息地认定，将会遭受剧烈打击，”Subtype 说。

他补充说，这次对 80th 的修改正在为大规模开发活动（如石油开采或矿业）铺平道路。

“，”Subtype 说。

丹佛清洁水联盟（Denver Clean Water Coalition）主任基尔斯滕·赖利（Kirsten Reilly）表示，湿地和森林充当着关闭水道的国家过滤器——这一变化可能会影响该能力。该联盟由切萨皮克湾（Chesapeake Bay）各地的 320 多个组织组成。她补充说，切萨皮克流域周围的许多湿地对于岸鸟和鱼类等物种的生存也至关重要。“这次变化似乎仅影响少数物种，或者仅影响那些被《濒危物种法》涵盖的事项，”赖利说，“但这实际上将对我们的工作以及整个环境产生更广泛的影响。”

北耳长耳蝠是一种联邦濒危物种，在马里兰州面临极高的灭绝风险，且已经深受一种难以治愈的疾病之苦。塞拉奇特（Sierra Chit）野生动物与土地保护运动副立法主任布拉德利·威廉姆斯（Bradley Williams）表示，第五项变化通过允许批准破坏性项目，使其本已受威胁的栖息地面临进一步风险。根据该州自然资源部的说法，马里兰州其他处于风险中的物种还包括多种鲸鱼、海龟和鸟类等众多动物。

威廉姆斯补充说，证明管理州法律的联邦法律对于简化保护工作至关重要。例如，欧洲tomentimes在马里兰州未受保护的湾区区域分布，这意味着不同的州法律会影响物种及其栖息地的保护方式，他说道。“美国国会曾有两党支持的一项决议旨在废除这些去监管决定的影响。我们很担心。”

“拥有管理州法律的联邦法律非常重要，这样我们就不会出现‘两党分歧的管理’，且‘反对者’不会选择他们要去哪个州。”

讣告

本杰明·阿里雷·萨恩斯 (BENJAMIN ALIRE SÁENZ)，73岁

一位在作品中探索酷儿主题与奇卡诺生活的获奖作家

作者：HARMON SMITH

自从还是个男孩，为了帮养家而从事粗活并追求真相起，本杰明·艾伦·萨恩斯（Benjamin Allen Sáenz）就意识到自己生活在两个世界，而非一个。萨恩斯先生一生都生活在 16 个兄弟之间，在边境地带。他在拉斯克鲁塞斯（Las Cruces）郊外的一个农场长大，那里有五个小偷，他最终定居在埃尔帕索（El Paso），这里唤起了他的青春记忆，他在那里赢得了广泛的赞誉。作为一名诗人兼小说家，他创作的书籍以美墨边境为背景，对爱、救赎和人类生存状态进行了十二次探索。从他的双语儿童书到他那部 1950 页的处女作小说《像水一样携带》（Carry the Like Water），他表示，他的所有作品都是“见证的诗篇”，为反思他的经历以及他所生活的世界提供了一点机会。

这也是一种构建的文学。萨恩斯先生经常说，写作记录了生活，帮助他度过了一段动荡的时期，期间他接受了酒精和药物滥用的治疗。后来，他重新审视自己的性取向，与结婚 11 年的妻子离婚，并在 54 岁时公开出柜为同性恋。“我是一个活着且功能正常的个体，”他说，“我一直知道自己是谁，但仍有许多时刻，我觉得自己对自己像个陌生人。”

萨恩斯先生的自我挖掘成为了两本书的催化剂，这两本书均于 2012 年出版并改变了他的职业生涯：短篇小说集《一切在肯塔基俱乐部开始并结束》（Everything Begins and Ends of the Kentucky Club），使他成为首位获得 1920s. 虚构类房地产奖（Realtors Award for Fiction）的拉丁裔人士；以及青少年小说《少年与狂躁之疾》（Juvenile and Frantic Illness）（宇宙之最），该书销量超过 100 万 册，被翻译成 30 种语言。这部小说成为了那些认同其中关于酷儿之爱、接纳与归属感故事的读者的避风港。

“这些书之所以能写出来，仅仅是因为我接纳了真实的自己，”萨恩斯先生告诉《时代》杂志，该杂志将《少年与狂躁》选入其 2020 年 100 部最伟大青少年书籍名单。他说，他感到自己“对美国人来说太像墨西哥人，对墨西哥人来说又不够墨西哥”，出柜后也有类似的感觉。“对某些人来说我不过分，而对另一些人来说我太基了。”

他向他人解释道，写作提供了一种治愈方式，以及一种方向感。“从科学上讲，” “唯一我不再仅仅是一个的时候就是我在写作的时候。”

萨恩斯先生在发现自己作为作家的天职之前曾担任天主教神父，他于 7 月 20 日去世，享年 72 岁。西蒙与舒斯特儿童出版公司（Simon & Schuster, Children's Publishing）的一位发言人确认他在埃尔帕索去世，并表示萨恩斯先生是在“长期患病后”去世的。

“萨恩斯拥有一种非凡的天赋，能让你爱上他笔下的人物，因为他们是非常真实且具有完整丰富人性的人，”编辑戈登·莱文（Gordon Levin）在悼词中说道。他的朋友兼同事丹尼尔·奇卡诺（Daniel Chicano）表示，他之所以脱颖而出，是因为他对“情感常态”持有“决定性”的态度，丹尼尔是德克萨斯州埃尔帕索的写作部门负责人。

作者本杰明·艾伦·萨恩斯于 1930 年与他的狗 Choy 在他埃尔帕索家中地下室的照片。

萨恩斯先生在他的办公室里。他在新墨西哥州长大，后来定居在埃尔帕索，在那里作为一名诗人兼小说家赢得了广泛的赞誉。

“我和其他奇卡诺作家之间有一个笑话，就是美国诗人不能使用‘心’或‘灵魂’这样的词，因为太感伤了。但萨恩斯不在乎，”奇卡诺说，“他足够大胆，可以随心所欲地感伤，在他感到感伤时就表达出来，而且他毫不保留。他以一种高级的方式成功地做到了这一点。”

萨恩斯先生作为一名诗人生活清贫，其处女集《犹他州的天主教徒》（Catholic of Utah）探讨了边境地带的死亡与新生，并于1992年获得美国图书奖。他通过小说获得了更广泛的受众，包括一些由绝望的青少年和心碎的恋人组成的小说和电影。他的《肯塔基俱乐部》（Kentucky Club）系列聚焦于华雷斯城的一个核能场所，该地位于格兰德河以南几个街区，靠近通往埃尔帕索的桥梁，人们聚集在那里，在花园和食物之间分享故事。“你用你所知道的，用你的全部心血在写作，”萨恩斯先生告诉《埃尔帕索杂志》（El Paso for Magazine），“这意味着有时要写出你内心产生的愤怒以及所有的不完美。我的所有角色都如此脆弱、受伤、痛苦且愤怒，在全世界都试图让他们变得冷酷且麻木时，他们仍在努力地保持体面。”他的许多书籍追踪了家人与朋友之间的纽带，以及当政治或偏见阻碍爱情时所产生的渴望。在他的儿童书《来自佩奇·丁格斯的礼物》（A Gift From Page Dings）中，他讲述了一个住在德克萨斯州的男孩的故事，这个男孩梦想成为一名超级英雄，这样他就能飞越边境去墨西哥看望他的祖父。在《少年与狂躁》（Juvenile and Frantic）中，他记录了两名墨西哥裔美国青少年在20世纪90年代于埃尔帕索一个泳池相遇的关系，他们因财务状况而相爱，随着时间的推移，在羞耻感和恐惧感中陷入爱河。这部小说获得了LGBTQ+文学最高奖，并被推荐至学校、图书馆以及白俄罗斯政府，而后者去年认为该书可能对国家利益具有“直觉性”（intuitive），大概是因为其同性恋主题。萨恩斯先生很高兴看到这本书被改编成2022年的电影，由“Sensitive”与“Lynchburg”Menasha共同制作，并在一本畅销的续作《少年与狂躁：深入世界之水》（Juvenile and Frantic: How Into the Waters of the World）中延续了故事，背景设定在艾滋病危机期间。“我认为我们生来就是为了讲述自己的故事，”书中名为Art的亚里士多德观察到，“在我们死去之后，我们的故事会生存下来。也许正是我们的故事赋予了宇宙生长生命所需的能量。”作为七个兄弟姐妹中的第四个，萨恩斯先生于1954年8月18日出生在拉斯克鲁塞斯市外，并在墨西哥的一个乡村小镇长大。他的家人经营着一个小农场，但在萨恩斯先生四年级时失去了这处房产。他的父亲找到了一份癌症创始人的工作，他的母亲则负责清理房屋并在工厂工作。萨恩斯先生在家族中显得与众不同，他被艺术和思想的世界所吸引，在遭受一名家庭成员的实际虐待后，他变得越来越孤立。多年来，他对这次袭击保持沉默。“我不知道如果我当时说了什么，我的生活会是什么样子。我回看那个小男孩，思考我们是如何处于战争之中的，”萨恩斯先生在2021年于埃尔帕索的一次TEDx活动上说道，“在迷茫和困惑中，那个男孩促使我去寻找一个比他所生活的世界更坚硬的世界。那个男孩将我推向了书籍。”萨恩斯先生在文章以及像多萝西·戴（Dorothy Day）和丹尼尔·贝里根（Daniel Berrigan）这样的天主教激进分子的著作中找到了灵感，他们为穷人开展的活动和冒险激励他进入丹佛的圣托马斯神学院。他于1977年获得学士学位，在比利时的芝加哥大学学习肿瘤学，并在埃尔帕索担任一名和平祭司，但仅在三年后就意识到该职位的艰辛。“负担太重了，”他开玩笑说。多年后，他表示在担任教会发言人期间，曾与面临性虐待指控的州音乐指控作斗争。他在业余时间写了一部小说，虽然在他看来这部小说“糟糕透顶”，但他决定重返校园，将自己塑造为一名作家。他获得了德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）的研究写作学士学位，并通过斯坦福大学的华莱士登记奖学金（Wallace Register Fellowship）深化了他的技艺。

到2012年，他回到了德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）任教，回到了他西海岸一些导师所在的丹佛。他在一次TEDx演讲中说，他们“告诉我我犯了一个巨大的错误”，“说我是在浪费我的职业生涯，而我正在寻找获得良好职业发展的机会，说我不能通过撰写书籍来建立这种职业生涯。而这恰恰是我所做的。”在多年的时间里，他成为了创意写作系的系主任，倡导接纳更多样化的健康成员，同时帮助塑造了现在的生物学MSA项目，该项目以英语和西班牙语授课。“他带入教学中的东西与他带入写作中的东西是一样的，”奇卡诺（Chicano）说道。“当他充满激情时，他的学生们也会发光。”在业余时间，萨恩斯（Sáenz）先生从事绘画并开设了一家画廊，创作出充满燃烧之心的作品，以及一只第十二只私人的孔雀。他在2010年从教学岗位退休，但继续写作，他最后一部完成的青少年小说是《当世界正确时》（When the World Was Right）（其中包含一只幼猫）。这本书讲述了校园枪击案后双胞胎的故事，部分灵感来自萨恩斯先生10岁的侄女珍·布鲁内兹（Jean Brunez）的去世，她在拉斯克鲁塞斯的一次保龄球活动中被枪击，该事件发生在一段20年的历史中。在2022年新墨西哥州加利福尼亚州（New Mexico State of California）袭击事件后，萨恩斯先生在书后的作者注中写道：“在这里，人们永远无法从这样的悲剧中走出来。日子在继续，最糟糕的部分在增加——但没有终点。”“所以，确实，他受到了启发！”写一本关于人们如何生存并度过像这样可怕的事情的书！一段时间以来，当重要的事情发生时，”他补充道。“我想通过写作来拯救人们。写作可能无法拯救很多人。所以写这本书是我所热爱之爱。”

“橡皮鸭先生”

Bob Zwach，73岁

我的哥哥Bob因胶质母细胞瘤去世。在确诊后生存的两年半时间里，他没有浪费一分钟在自怜上。他富有诗意且慷慨。他喜欢给邻居们开实用玩笑，比如用他的20英尺挖掘机在某个人的车库门前滚一个圆洞，让对方回家时进不去，或者在自己的账单上写上“BOB”。他种植甜玉米，并慷慨地将其送到人们家中。他一生都有一种紧迫感。到了播种或收获的时节，他总是准备就绪。他会在电话第一声响起时接听，并在收到账单当天支付。他被称为“橡皮鸭先生”，因为他每年在人们生日时唱那首歌的人数比我们镇的人口还要多。谁会这么做？Bob-a-dub-dubby！

院子里的红衣主教鸟

Alicia Candamo，78岁

—— 我的父亲在2006年去世，他的姐姐，也就是我的姑姑，总是告诉我，如果我看到一只红衣主教鸟，那就是父亲在路过。在我姑姑死于卵巢癌的一周前，她告诉我：“如果你看到一只红衣主教鸟，那就是我和你爸爸。”

无论走到哪里，我都能看到红衣主教鸟。我在前院发现了一对雌雄红衣主教鸟在此栖息。我的姑姑并不太主张过度地缅怀，她总是教我要坚守信仰，让那些挚爱的人与他们的家人以及先祖在一起。她教我永远不要恐惧死亡，因为它是生命自然的一部分。在她去世后我尝试过，但现在我再也不觉得孤独。我总能感觉到她陪伴在我身边。

我生命中的挚爱

尼克·约克 (Nick York)，82岁 我的丈夫是一个极其善良的人。他对遇到的每一个人都像朋友一样，总是试图帮助任何有需要的人。他对陌生人也同样友善。如果有人在高速公路或道路上车辆故障，他会停下来帮忙。他从未错过任何一个解决问题的机会。我前一段婚姻的女儿在1994年去世了，坦白说，我当时彻底崩溃了。我会对我丈夫发各种可怕的脾气，愤怒且毫不掩饰地宣泄。他会耐心地听我倾诉，并安慰我一切都会好起来的，他理解我正处于痛苦之中。当他死于黑色素瘤时，他并没有因此感到愤怒甚至焦虑，反而试图安慰我，告诉我他走后我会没事的。他是我生命中的挚爱。 尼基·“尼克”·凯里·约克 (Nicky "Nick" Keri York) 曾在百货公司和其他大型企业安装电话设备。他于2月4日在加利福尼亚州维卡维尔去世。 ——由其妻子泽尔达·约克 (Zelda York) 撰写

朋友通过其他父母的痛苦来肯定自己 Carolyn 收到许多此类咨询。以下内容首次发表于 2028年6月2日。

问 Carolyn： 我的一个朋友肯定自己的方式不是通过对她儿子的成就感到热爱和自豪，而是通过指出他人的痛苦和失败，比如，“当我看到那个护士的孩子是什么样子时，我对自己的孩子就感觉好多了。” 我发现很难忽视这种幼儿园式的行为。我应该忽视吗？ — Schadomferode

Carolyn 回复 Schadomferode： （请不要忽视）并不是说你可以或应该在这里扮演某种征服者的角色。然而，你可以且应该——让他们知道你不会用沉默来纵容这种行为。当她刚刚贬低另一个孩子时，一个恰到好处的“累了”或“哇”能起到很大作用——因为这就是她竞争的领域，对吧？这就是母亲们的游戏！如果你之前打好基础，这些角色记忆点会起更好的作用，比如曾经说过一次“累了，我不确定那个——这里偶尔会有崩溃，我们的孩子任何一个都可能陷入麻烦！” 我甚至可能会继续说，“……或者，有些父母在比较而非关注时偶尔会这样，” 但我不想为自己的家庭建造一座玻璃房，而“提醒”规则对你来说效果最好。不过我想说，如果你的朋友通过对她儿子的成就感到自豪来肯定自己，难道不会同样有问题吗？抚养孩子需要艰苦的努力，你以及付出努力的父母理应获得由此而来的肯定——来自奉献本身，或许也来自孩子感受到被爱而给出的任何反馈。但至于成就呢？那些属于孩子。

问 Carolyn： 您如何处理家人的“有条件”之爱？我处于中年，我是那些没有实现父母梦想的孩子之一，但我有一个兄弟 我不需要他伟大，只要比我们认识的其他孩子好就行。。在内心深处，我知道他们是好人，但他们似乎支持我周围的每一个人，唯独不支持我。尽管如此，我目前单身，拥有研究生学历，有一份不错的工作且身体健康。我经常参加家庭活动并提供帮助。我很难在保持距离的健康方案与他们年事已高的愧疚感之间取得平衡——我不想完全将他们排除在生活之外并带着这种遗憾生活。但每次见到他们，我的自尊心都会受到打击，我们的关系也会进一步受损，因为他们似乎无法放下对我某些生活选择的看法。 — 匿名

Carolyn 回复 匿名： 我意识到我在制造虔诚感，但有没有可能他们并不是好人？不一定是坏人，但也许是糟糕的、平庸的？或者在情感导向方面，或者在深度和想象力方面有所局限？在我看来，那些将自己的梦想强加给孩子，然后

根据孩子对“指定核心路径”的遵循程度来对待他们——尽管有越来越多的证据表明，一个被支配的孩子找到了另一种完全负责任的方式——这样的父母，起码不是好父母。他们确实不是。同样，你不能因为一个未被同化的孩子对被深思熟虑地爱过的人生所渴望的认可而进行恐惧的守候。在此时此刻，听起来“保持距离”实际上并不是健康的解决方案。至少现在还不是。首先，我建议你向自己展现一点你父母声称向你展现的仁慈。在那种感觉面前，让自己意识到每个有缺陷的人可能都是一种宇宙级的、确实健康的顺从。让自己看到，你既没有成为你的父母，也没有成为他们的骄傲或虔诚，而是成为了你自己的个体，拥有少许支持和稳定的显著存在，以及尊重那些被看重的工作的支持。做得好，不！而且，在你的评价中，让你的父母降低几个档次。也许他们不是最糟糕的父母，但他们无法接纳你的虔诚，这在平均水平线上并不出众。好人！也许吧，但对你，他们自己的孩子而言并非如此；如果这还不值得让你重新审视对“好人”的定义，那我不知道还能做什么。我沉思于此并非为了嘲讽，而是为了提出一个决定，并结束你的守候。你在等待他们成为他们应该成为的人——每次我审视我与你所做的事情时都是如此——并且等待他们填补那个取决于他们认可的空白。预期的分歧是你无法逐一安置的。但如果你能将你的父母视为他们真实的样子——例如，“这就是他们的极限”，那么你将停止期待从他们那里获得什么，而你可以从他们那里获得，并且你愿意给予他们。即，原谅这种被指责的状态。如果你能用这个来填补空白，并且是真心的，那么你将获得自由。虽然对卡罗琳（Carolyn）来说，所有年迈的先驱者都是如此，上帝已经极大地打乱了你的观点，且其意义至少和你一样好。► 详见 washingtonpost.com / love / nds 的更多 Pishapa 讨论框。

母亲宣称“不谈政治”，随后却开始谈论政治 Asking First D. F. HUDDALE 亲爱的先生： 我是一名50岁的女儿，我的父亲64岁，母亲65岁。我爱我的父母，但我们已经近一年没有联系了。我知道我的父亲和 / 或母亲随时可能去世。这是我生活中唯一的压力源——即在我与父母不和时，其中一位或两位父母离世。我的母亲和我在政治上截然相反。我对任何辩论持开放态度，然而，我的母亲在父母家的门上贴了一张告示：“不谈政治。”因此，我不提起政治。不幸的是，我的母亲拒绝遵守自己的规定。她不断提起政治，但当我试图反驳时，她就闭口不谈，拒绝参与。这就是她的方式。就此为止。我知道我的父亲在政治上与我一致，但他为了和谐而“随大流”。我父亲在他这个年纪不会离婚。我知道我家庭的告示应该带有一个星号。不谈政治，除非……因为这实际上就是她所表达的，我请求她想要。那是她的前提，虽然这可能并不愉快，但你不必参与。你可以设定并坚守她口头上想要但实际上不遵守的界限。当她开始谈论政治时，你可以尝试在不控制或纠正的情况下改变话题，或者你可以说：“妈，我不想谈政治。我想和你一起度过时光，谈谈我们自己的事。”现在，这可能不是她真正想要的，女儿。她可能是在寻求辩论。我认为在这种情况下，为你的声音设定一个明确的限制或选择中立的空间可能会有所帮助。她很满足，或者进行中立的活动。她正在走过。她可能无法或不想克制自己，但如果她发现你不会上当，她可能会在其他地方寻找目标。 亲爱的先生： 一个退休桥牌小组在15年前成立，由一个人指导其他几个人如何玩。随着人们因为我们的手臂而加入，这个小组在这些年里扩大并发生了变化。家庭水平得以保留，任何想在比赛日玩的人都会告知主持人。有时会有几张桌子同时进行，具体取决于主持人的空间大小。最初的成员之一在过去几年里一直在衰退。由于不足，无法再跟上进度或在小组中更多地玩。没有人真正想和那个个体一起玩，有些人将不再继续留在小组中，因为这很艰难。我们中那些希望小组继续下去的人，在享受这个消遣和陪伴这个个体之间感到纠结。问题是我们不知道如何告诉这个人，我们并不享受在他们的关注下玩牌。关于如何委婉地告诉这个个体他们不再被邀请参加比赛，您有什么建议吗？如果他们很受欢迎且欢迎来观看和社交，但我们认为这个个体很难接受这个建议，并且不知道谁应该进行这次对话或如何开启这个话题。我们真的很困惑。—— Garver Change 游戏： 有一种方法可以从侧面看到

萨曼莎·莫顿的魔力：《奥德赛》主演探讨迷人的角色

作者：格伦·惠普 (GLENN WHEEP) 洛杉矶时报

萨曼莎·莫顿在《奥德赛》的那场戏中并非有意开始夸张表演。她所谈论的那场戏是，当她饰演的基拉（Ciera）将奥德修斯的部下变成猪时，她字面上地通过点头将他们变成了真实的模样。这不在剧本中，而是自然发生的。当时莫顿看向导演克里斯托弗·诺兰，等待他像这样说：“也许试着不用那种糟糕的语气。”但诺兰没有说话，于是莫顿再次尝试，而那个在她脑海中激荡的声音——她现在将其描述为一场由华丽的和声与颤音组成的交响曲——随着基拉施展她的女巫魔法而不断流出，改变了那些贪婪的八卦之徒，而这些人正忙于睡眠并贪婪地吞噬。

“显然，这些声音能让人发疯，”40岁的莫顿在纽约切尔西酒店的床上向我说道。“所以为了转化那些男人，魔法不仅来自我的双手，还来自我的声音。”

莫顿毫不掩饰地相信魔法。她问道，否则你如何解释一个在儿童之家和十几个寄养家庭之间辗转，直到18岁时带着犯罪记录住在英国诺丁汉街头的人，现在能在这里与我交谈，在切尔西酒店品着绿茶？“那一定是守护天使和爱的力量——而不是因为我突然变得擅长表演并找到了一份工作，”莫顿说道。这位资深演员已深耕此道32年，曾为史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格、吉姆·谢里丹以及现在的诺兰等导演贡献演技。

“我一直相信一切皆有可能，对此毫无怀疑，”她指着自己的心说，“因为我一直感觉到来自另一个世界的这种守护之爱。”

莫顿说，当她听说诺兰想为了《奥德赛》见她时，她哭了。如果这听起来太戏剧化，她并不道歉。她将其比作一名运动员获得了代表国家参加奥运会的资格。为了那个电话，她花费了数十年的时间磨练技艺。电话打来时，她在2003年1月的山火期间飞往洛杉矶，开启了她人生中最好的一次工作面试。

我问她对那次会面的回忆。

“我想进展得非常顺利，”莫顿笑着回答。

莫顿告诉诺兰她没有读过《奥德赛》，考虑到她在12岁时就辍学了，这很合理。（回到英国——她和丈夫与孩子们住在东区，包括10岁的女儿朱莉和12岁的儿子西迪——她回忆道，是的，她通过在《伪装者》（'The Disguised'）的一集中看到相关恶搞而对《奥德赛》有所了解，她说那是某种“家庭式”的认知，“就像疯了一样”。）

但莫顿不相信在研究中让自己陷入困境，自从19岁时参加英国电视版《lone fryer》制作以来就是如此，当时她随身携带一本被大量标记的夏洛特·赫拉德（Charlotte Herald）之书，以此证明她已经彻底钻研了原著。从那时起，她便专注于剧本和自己的想象力。

在思考基拉这个角色时，莫顿回忆起与父亲一起去图书馆的经历。“我们一无所有，穷极了，但他一直拥有一张图书馆卡，”她说，并找到了霍华德·派尔（Howard Pyle）后期的《岩石之王》（'King Rock'）。

她回忆起自己被故事中邪恶女巫所吸引。她想起了民间传说中的其他女巫，比如芭芭·萨加（Babe Saga），那是令人恐惧的角色，但她也说，这些是“拥有某种纯真，但随着岁月流逝被生活的残酷所侵蚀的女性”。

上方：萨曼莎·莫顿出席《奥德赛》伦敦首映礼。右图：莫顿（左）与导演克里斯托弗·诺兰及其妻子、制片人艾玛·托马斯。莫顿说，当她听说诺兰想见她讨论电影中可能的角色时，她哭了。谈到面试时，她笑着说：“我想进展得非常顺利。”

在讨论拍摄西尔塞（Ciera）将奥德修斯（Odyssears）的部下变形那一幕的元层面和细节方面时，莫顿（Morton）在言语上表现出一种痛苦的回避，因为在过去 DVD 随附幕后特辑盛行的年代，她经常拒绝参与其中。“我并不是想耍花招，但当时的感觉就像是，‘这是我的私人时刻。这是属于我的，’她说，‘我确实喜欢那种小小的瞬间。’”但紧接着，她笑着化解了尴尬并投入其中，回忆起她的丈夫给她看了一篇来自尼克尔斯（Nickels）片场的 Instagram 帖子，揭露了电影中的 Cichigo 实际上是一个傀儡。“噢我的天——我爱死傀儡了！”莫顿惊呼道，随后她滔滔不绝地告诉我她多么崇拜 Mistress，以及《黑暗水晶》（The Dark Crystal）是如何成为她一直以来最喜爱的电影之一的。关于她的“奥德赛”场景，她所说的是那里没有任何数字特效。一切都是真实的且“在记忆之中”，她当时如此投入，以至于几乎不记得其中一次的安全闪光。 “那不是 O2E，”莫顿说，“那是人类的才智和一种莫顿式偏好的连接，几乎像是在舞蹈且感觉笃定。并不是说那是性感的，但我希望当她与眼睛和动物在一起时，感觉非常不寻常，就像，你知道，她几乎与它们合而为一。” “那其中美妙之处在于，”莫顿并不那么简单，这意味着如果她应该揭开创作过程的帷幕。她继续说道：“片场有一天，克莱茨（Cleitz）就像是，‘好吧，’然后他把手伸了进去，因为我有点害怕。就像《夺宝奇兵》（Raiders of the Lost Ark）里他把手伸进那个东西里的场景，你会觉得，‘噢不！’我有点紧张，但克莱茨先做了。我想他的手指实际上被弄伤了。”她咯咯地笑了起来：“女人最终决定去睡觉，就像走进冰冷的海水一样，在整个过程中我感到被保护和支持。”当奥德修斯的部下饥肠辘辘、等待被引导地抵达克莱茨的家时，克莱茨显得很害怕——这可以理解。她孤身一人，而且他们有着掠夺和强取豪夺的历史。然而，她是一位强大的女巫。克莱茨是真的害怕，还是在那里待得太久而陷入了某种爱意之中？ “我把那一幕演成了她真的被吓到了，因为她措手不及，”莫顿说，“我还想扮演一个跨越所有年龄段的人，所以在那个场景中，我把她演成了一个 10 岁的女孩。而在其他场景中，我把她演成一个 90 岁的女人，或者一个 49 岁的女人，或者一个姐妹，一个母亲，一个祖母。我只想让她成为一个 girless。”莫顿在塑造西尔塞时强调，将奥德修斯的部下变形并非出于卑劣的报复。“这不仅仅是恨，”她说，“不仅仅是伤害。不仅仅是愤怒。在女神的角色中，这几乎像是一位禅师在教导。小心你所祈求的东西，”平台，好，所有这些东西。”该场景之下还潜藏着一种正义的女性主义愤怒，这种现代化处理将《奥德赛》以一种激烈且令人不安的方式带到了现代。这也是人们离开电影院时讨论莫顿的另一个原因。诺兰（Nolan）认为《奥德赛》以某种奇怪的方式，“我觉得我在这角色中倾注了所有——她就是这部奥德赛。”他告诉《洛杉矶时报》，“在其中一次拍摄结束后，剧组给她报以热烈的掌声。”尼克尔斯的制片合作伙伴兼妻子艾玛·托马斯（Emma Thomas）后来回忆道，上一次发生这种情况还是在《黑暗骑士》中希斯·莱杰（Heath Ledger）身上。莫顿特意告诉我莱杰对她意味着什么，因为 20 多年前，在特里·吉兰德（Terry Gilliland） 2003 年的长篇冒险电影《格林兄弟》（The Brothers Grimm）中，她曾被选中与他（以及奥德修斯本人马特·希尔斯 Matt Shears）对戏。Nitramas 的负责人哈维·韦恩斯坦（Harvey Weinstein）否决了吉兰德的决定，将莫顿从电影中剔除，因为在他看来，她不够迷人。

“希斯以如此的温柔和慈悲为我而战，”莫顿说道。“对我来说，他与菲利普·塞德曼·霍夫曼处于同一地位。他们所赋予的东西有一种超凡脱俗的个人特质，如此真诚、脆弱，且对工艺绝对专注。他们会在你的心中留下印记。”这并不是莫顿在我们的对话中第一次提到“心”。她带着儿子西迪来到纽约参加《奥德赛》的首映式，因为她想让他看看她的创作精神诞生的地方。莫顿后来以男装打扮来到纽约为《爱玛》进行散文创作，一年后再次回来宣传《lone fryer》，然后她无法克制自己，在朋友的公寓里“一无所有”地生活，以便让自己沉浸在这座城市中。“纽约访问我的心，”莫顿说。那是她开始接触文学的地方，贪婪地阅读查尔斯·巴布考克，在圣玛丽书店的走廊间漫步，从 Kim's Video 租借电影，并在韦弗利广场（Waverly Place）吞咽着棕色和破旧的……（此处原文不详）。不久之后，莫顿获得了让她获得首个奥斯卡提名（至少目前如此）的十次提名中的第一个角色，在伍兹·非洲的《Sweet and Love down》中饰演主角 laundrom。剧组将她安置在一个“艰难时期的坟墓”中，演出结束后，她搬到了东村。只有三个还剩下，但莫顿仍然计划获得十次奥斯卡提名中的第一个。“我不会在伍兹·非洲的《Sweet and Love down》中饰演主角 laundrom。剧组将她安置在一个‘艰难时期的坟墓’中，演出结束后，她搬到了东村。”“现在感觉很好，”莫顿说，读着“谁知道呢？也许我会纵情于一些 latch browns。” --- E4 92 93

音乐

霍华德·琼斯（Howard Jones）曾经是个大人物吗？这并非一个牵强的想法，尤其是考虑到这位 1990 年代先驱性的合成器流行乐代表人物在 11 岁时观看 1970 年的纪录片《伍德斯托克》（Woodstock）后产生了顿悟，并且仍然记得同年晚些时候在英国怀特岛音乐节观看吉米·亨德里克斯（Jean Hendrix）表演的情景。

“我去音乐学院时留着很长的头发，所以我猜那有很多嬉皮士的影响，”琼斯说。“但我不知道嬉皮士是否每天练习 9. 小时钢琴，演奏所有的古典曲目。一旦我离开学院，我就把头发剪得很短，开始以截然不同的方式思考。但我不认为有人能避开当时的嬉皮士哲学，因为其中有很多伟大的东西。”

或许并非巧合，琼斯即将于 2007 年发行的下一张专辑名为《全球公民》（Global Citizen），首支单曲《站起来》（Stand Up）已于 7 月 9. 日发行。这首歌的歌词鼓励听众通过非暴力地反对威权主义来改善世界。为了强调他对和平变革的承诺，琼斯将《站起来》作为其“情况只会变得更好”（Things Can Only Get Better）巡演的开场曲，该巡演将于周六来到作者这里。他策划了演出阵容，包括 Wang Chong、English Beat 和 Modern English 等乐队。

“如果我们不想滑向一个完全威权的世界，那么我们每个人都必须为我们希望社会发展的方向而站起来，”他说。

71, 岁的琼斯将杰西·杰克逊（Jesse Jackson）牧师 1972 年的诗作《站起来，黑人》（Stand Up, Black Man）视为《站起来》的主要灵感来源。这位著名的民权领袖于 2 月去世，享年 84 岁。

“这是一首非常直白且极其出色的诗，”琼斯说。“在他去世前我没听过这首诗，我想：‘我想从中汲取灵感’，因为世界上许多重大问题都是因为人们认为他人与自己不同——‘他们认为对方的穿着打扮与我不同’——所以他们害怕对方，而这就是冲突的原因。”

“但我们应该始终寻找那些让我们成为人类的东西。所以，站起来，让人们看到你的存在。这并不意味着你必须具有攻击性或对抗性，而是要

霍华德·琼斯重返巡演，反思嬉皮理想：“其中有很多伟大的东西”

作者：乔治·瓦尔加 (GEORGE VARGA) 《圣迭戈联合论坛报》

北流行乐先驱霍华德·琼斯在 1944.。他的新歌《Stand Up》灵感来自一首 1975 年的民权诗作。

挑战你周围不尊重他人的行为。这就是这首歌传递的信息。让人们对自己的信念和善良的天性充满信心。”

这帮助琼斯维持了一段如今已进入第五个十年的职业生涯。他的首支单曲《New Song》于 1993. 发行。随后在 1994 年推出了首张专辑《The music Life》。该专辑在他家乡英国的排行榜上名列前茅，他在 1993 年至 1994. 间获得了六首前 10 名的单曲。其中一首《No One Is to Blame》在美国国家公告牌（Billboard）排行榜上攀升至第 4 位。

琼斯最近在英国萨默塞特的家中接受了《圣迭戈联合论坛报》的采访。

你 62 年前在为乔·杰克逊开场时完成了圣迭戈的演出首秀。如果当时有人告诉你，你会在 2010 年回来——并且为整个美国巡演策划乐队阵容——这在当时看来是否有一丝可能性？还是你会认为他们疯了？

我会认为他们疯了？我当时只是在努力确保我的第二张专辑能取得足够的成功，好让我能多坚持一段时间，我从未想过自己能坚持这么久，但我做到了。不过我知道一件事：这是我唯一想做的事情。

如果你不再被听到或不再录音会怎样？

我会在某个酒吧或小酒馆里演奏，做我自己的音乐。我仍然会这么做，因为这就是我命中注定要做的事。我能预见到这一点，这也是我能做出的贡献。但我没想过能坚持 60 年，因为你知道，流行音乐很少允许你这样做。这就是为什么我总在尝试创作新东西，在曲目单中加入新曲目，寻找演奏歌曲的新方式，唱得更好，弹得更好。进化！

这与这样一个事实如何对应——在这次巡演中，有四位在 1990 年代获得过最大热门作品的艺术家——许多观众将带着深切的怀旧之情和重温青春音乐的渴望而来？

嗯，我会将我全新的《Stand Up》作为我演出曲目单的第一首歌。我还创作了一个全新的前奏部分，并且我的新 short 中有一位使用全电子鼓的新鼓手。所以，它总是新鲜且不同的。尽管如此，你说得很对：其中确实有怀旧的元素。但我也想向人们展示，你也可以向前迈进，而不仅仅是像某种经济展品一样生活在过去。我想我的粉丝知道我会做出改变，而且这样做对我来说很有趣，希望对他们来说也是如此。但是，是的，我经常思考你所说的话。向前迈进非常重要。

我们最后一次交谈是在几年前，当时我正在写一篇关于 1969 年伍德斯托克音乐节遗产的文章。你当时回忆说，看到那部电影激励你参加了你的第一个音乐节，你说：“我在 1970, 英国的怀特岛音乐节上看到了 [吉米] 亨德里克斯、谁乐队 (the Who)、何塞·米切尔和 The Doors 乐队，我想去的原因是我看了伍德斯托克电影。这让我决定这就是我想在生命中做的事。太震撼了！”

如果我没记错的话，Emerson, Lake & Palmer 也在同一个怀特岛音乐节上演出过。那对你来说是一次顿悟吗？

哦，绝对是。那是他们的第二场演出——在怀特岛之前他们做过一次小型演出——基思·埃默森（Keith Emerson）当时使用了那个巨大的模块化 Moog 合成器，简直太震撼了。在那之前的音乐语境中，没有人这么做过。简直令人惊叹！在 ELF 之前，当基思还在 New 乐队时，我就非常崇拜他。我看过他们很多次演出，而且也有机会见过基思。他曾为了《当代键盘》（Contemporary Keyboard）杂志来采访我。后来看到他加入 ELF，对我来说是一件极其重要的大事。1993年，你作为 Binge Man's All-Share Band 的成员，与 ELF 的格雷格·莱克（Greg Lake）同台演出。能与格雷格一起演奏 ELF 的 "Kara-Bill 9" 这种震撼作品，对你来说在多大程度上是一种圆满的轮回？

照片：KIM KELLY, M.T. PITTMAN 霍华德·琼斯（Howard Jones）2026年2月在旧金山演出。他将于周六将他的“Things Can Only Get Better”巡演带到 Anthem 场馆，开场嘉宾包括 Modern English。

来自 SA 的琼斯，以及主唱和鼓手 Sheila E？那绝对太美妙了，因为我是 KLF 的超级粉丝。而且能与格雷格一起演奏对我来说是一个重大时刻。那是一首极难学习的曲子。我花了好几个月时间来钻研它，但作为一名键盘手，我非常享受这个挑战。我和基思一样受过古典训练，所以肯定有能力完成它。那是一件很棒的事情，是的，绝对精彩。

在 1993 年，哪个时刻更让你觉得像在做梦——是在伦敦温布利体育场的 Live Aid 演出中演绎年度版本 "Hide and Seek"，还是在同年早些时候的格莱美奖电视转播中与斯蒂维·旺德（Stevie Wonder）、赫比·汉考克（Herbie Hancock）和托马斯·多利（Thomas Dolly）同台演出？

能与赫比同台，并在工作室里一起敲击键盘，感觉同样酷。我想在那样的场合我本该感到非常紧张，但我没有。我是在斯蒂维的音乐陪伴下长大的。所以他对我产生了深远影响，不仅在 songwriting 方面，以及他的哲学和歌词上，还因为他总是第一个拥有最新键盘的人，并且能以一种非常实用且酷的方式使用它们。所以，这对我的影响很大。我觉得让传奇人物斯蒂维和赫比与我们这些年轻人——托马斯和我——聚在一起太棒了。我们用所有那些新的采访设备玩得很开心，他们在格莱美奖上把我们聚在一起是一件非常酷的事情，因为这突然让合成器在每个人心中都变得可以接受了。那是一个关键时刻。在那之前，人们会说类似“这张唱片没有使用合成器”之类的话，就好像合成器是什么会对你产生不利影响的外星技术一样！

那 Live Aid 呢？

Live Aid 简直太神奇了。我的意思是，能与这么多我非常熟悉的音乐家共享舞台太棒了。我有机会见到他们，并与保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）、琳达·麦卡特尼（Linda McCartney）、大卫·鲍伊（David Bowie）以及 Queen 乐队的成员们一起演奏。太精彩了！而且我当时选择的是在钢琴前演唱一首歌，我想人们之前没意识到我能这么做，因为他们习惯于把我视为一个边唱歌边弹合成器的单人乐队。钢琴是我的第一件乐器，也是我最能传达情感的乐器。那天的观众如此热情，如此高兴能在那儿，他们和我一起唱完了整首歌的副歌。我对那一刻的每一个细节仍记忆犹新，真的太美妙了。

我第一次看你演出是在 1994. 在我的评论中，我写道：“更令人感兴趣的是音乐会开场由霍华德·琼斯带来的表演，他将自己呈现为一种单人合成器流行乐队。利用一整套合成器和鼓机，以及少量的录音伴奏。琼斯的演出既激昂又深情。” 这么多年来，在电子音乐环境下营造温暖感是否一直是你的目标？

我认为这是一个公正的评价。我一直认为，我主要是一名想要传达歌词、追求旋律感和真挚情感的词曲作者。但我热爱合成器，因为它就像拥有一个管弦乐团来实现我的音乐想法并创造新事物。我只是喜欢这种能给人们带来一点挑战的感觉。我之前没听说过有人那样做——在没有乐队的情况下用合成器进行现场表演，所以这让我获得了非常非常好的反响。我最喜欢的部分是我必须与观众互动。我不能与他们保持距离。因为现场只有我和杰德（Jed Hole）在台上，而杰德只是个舞者，并不说话！所以，你必须让观众参与进来，对我来说，学习如何做到这一点是一件非常棒的事情。

在挑选那个和你一起表演的舞者时，面试的人多吗？还是说杰德是你想到的人选中唯一的一个？

那完全是自然而然的事情。在我早期尝试单人秀的原型阶段，杰德是一个经常来看我那些小型演出的小伙伴！他会在观众席中跳舞，我在舞台上看着他，觉得非常迷人，于是我想他应该和我一起在台上。所以，我们共同为他设计了所有那些与歌曲相匹配的不同角色。随后，这演变成了服装、视频以及整个演出的视觉元素，这在当时是非常独特的。我认为这其实更像是一种行为艺术。是的，所以这是一件非常自然的事情。

你见过你的同名人士，也就是美国金属核乐队 Killswitch Engage 的前主唱 Howard Jones 吗？

没有，没见过。但我肯定知道他，因为有时候他的音乐会被错误地推荐到我的 Spotify 页面上！

摄影

他那些标志性的明星照片只是故事的一部分 WHITE FILM E1

梅尔·吉布森（Mel Gibson） “他的团队告诉我，他没有太多空档，而且这类拍摄是要收费的。他刚拍完《猎人》（Hunter），我不知道当时在想什么，但我给那些动物驯养员打了电话。我总是在寻找一些书，或者一些拍摄对象可能会感兴趣的东西，就像某种道具之类的，然后我带来了一件东西，我拍了他和那件东西的照片，接着我又带来了一头小猪。他抱着它，样子真的非常可爱……然后那头猪睡着了。我就说：‘别动。就这样闭上眼睛，你知道，不要动。’于是我捕捉到了一个能与他共处的安静时刻，因为他精力充沛，想快点拍完。”

艾瑞莎·弗兰克林（Aratha Franklin） “去底特律有点危险。我到达她家时，她穿着一件泳衣开门。那个女人当时体型较大，胸前有很深的事业线，她说：‘噢，快进来。我在厨房做饭。’我走进去，屋里没有空调，因为她一直不喜欢空调，我们很有趣。她家里到处都是衣服，我们挑选了一些，第二天我们就有了几个拍照的点子。”于是我去了底特律的道奇兄弟大宅（Dodge Brothers mansion）。我让人把一台小钢琴搬到后院。她走进来，我把她安置在后院，她开始对我表现出某种状态，我准备开始构图，然后我注意到了一件事。她前面有一颗牙齿的问题。我问：‘这个怎么处理？’她说：‘别用那张，快回到相机后面去。’她走过来，就像是说：‘把它拍进去。’

麦莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus） “我给她打电话，因为我之前一直和罗伯特·伍德（Robert Wood）合作录音，她在洛杉矶，那里很有历史感。他们有一个房间一直没变过。所有那些小木刻画，一切都像是来自1870年。我发现约翰·史密斯（John Smith）曾在那里录制过《珍珠》（Pearl）。他们甚至还保留了她当时使用的那支麦克风。我给麦莉打电话说：‘我有个主意。你想来这里尝试一下吗，就像是一根香烟，如果用《梅赛德斯-奔驰》（Mercedes Benz）但用你的声音，你的整体风格？’她说：‘噢，我的天，这真的引起了我的共鸣。我的手臂上正好有和她一样的纹身。我非常感兴趣。’于是她同意了，我布置好了一切，她来到了日落录音室（Sunset Sound）。在听她录制《梅赛德斯-奔驰》的同时，我也拍摄了照片，真的非常震撼她。那是一个非常美丽的时刻。”

詹姆斯·布朗（James Brown） “在一次高速追逐之后，我花了两年多的时间去培养关系，《滚石》（Rolling Stone）和White在他在1931年7月27日获释时拍摄了他的粉丝。我指出了照片中他身后的那些瑕疵，我出现在监狱，我们接走了他，他后来带我去了佐治亚州奥古斯塔（Augusta, Georgia），那个黑人社区，也就是他成长的地方。他穿着那套衣服，带着那个熔炼工，带着那个赛车手，从监狱里走出来。那个时刻有一些好处，也有些不便。他非常感激。他很感激我和《滚石》做这篇报道。他一直说着类似这样的话：‘上帝保佑你，怀特先生。’

蒂莫西·怀特（Timothy White），34岁，他的新作品集名为《镜头下的生活》（Life Through My Lens）。

哈里森·福特（Harrison Ford）

“我想在莫哈韦沙漠扎根。那里叫 mafiere，位于 68 号公路的某个荒僻之地。我经常得去那里，有一次有个泥地会议，哈里森（Harrison）直接飞过去，就像是‘好吧，就在我的视野里拍吧’。所以他早上飞过去。哈里森不是那种讲究穿搭的人，但作为一个年轻人，‘没问题，你穿一件 5 号衬衫和牛仔裤，或者一件蓝色纽扣衬衫就行’。所以，这再次体现了摩托车、强悍气质与西装之间的对立。因此，这不像我的照片那样经过深思熟虑或控制，在某种程度上，也不像那张一样。并不是那种我在等待某些事情发生的情况。那些劳工人员有时很血腥。其中一个是已经去世的 Nathan Lมาก。Lมาก 当时也在那里，在沙漠里。我喜欢把我的朋友们聚集在一起，尤其是那些不会相遇的朋友，比如哈里森·福特和 Nathan Lมาก，后者是个纽约市的劳工类型。”

约翰·列侬和肖恩·列侬 “约翰的一个话题。我已经认识他 40 年了。他在很小的时候，我和他母亲一起拍了他，后来在他开始变成一个老男人时，我又拍了他。他代表了他们从未不和。我的意思是，约翰经历得很艰辛，他多次失去父亲。他失去了父亲，失去了离婚，然后失去了父亲。但我一直认为他爱他的兄弟，他的兄弟也爱他。我打电话给他们说，‘听着，我们都在纽约。我真的很想拍一张两兄弟的照片。’ 我经常对人们这样做。我试图让他们聚在一起，因为我知道他们现在可能不喜欢，而且他们并不像大多数配合的拍摄对象那样，仅仅是因为他们是我的朋友。我有点强迫他们这么做，但我知道他们以后在生活中会感激这件事。所以这就是那张照片所代表的意义。”

惠特尼·休斯顿 “她被贪污了。有一段时间她确实处于一个完全不同的状态。我记得（另一次）和鲍比·斯图尔特（Bobby Stewart）在她家里，一起拍了那些照片。那感觉很不同。我想现在是讨论我的选择及其主观性以及我所做之事的合适时机，对吧？我不是在捕捉某个人的冲突。我是在记录一个人的生活。照片是一种幻象。照片不是真理。照片是我的真理。因此，在前一帧她可能在笑，在后一帧她可能在哭。所以这是我对一个美丽、忧郁时刻的选择，我在照片中创造一个故事。”

丹尼·德维托 “这在某种程度上是我对希区柯克肖像的致敬，采用了那种身体形状，那种身体类型的侧面肖像剪影。我尝试了许多不同的设置。‘就到这里来，让我调好这个光。哦，我喜欢你抽烟的样子，烟雾飘出来。我可以给它打背光。’ 然后烟圈出现了。在我的镜头里，我看到了最完美的瞬间。所以我觉得这有点像是角色英雄主义与新泽西州以及丹尼·德维托的新泽西敏感度的结合。”

比约克 “乐队刚刚解散。我和镜子一起去了雷克雅未克。那是隆冬时节。我开了一辆四轮驱动的面包车，把他们全部装进去，然后直接开进了火山区，那里像一片平原。我去了那里，我们发现有一辆车在后面跟着我们，就是那辆车，而我们身处荒郊野外。那辆车沿着路开过来，雪从山谷中吹来。我让她站在那里。我记得我带了闪光灯，但天气太冷，闪光灯冻住了。她只穿了一件衬衫。她不在乎。她如此坚强，而我们都觉得‘快让我离开这儿’。但她真的很特别。”

来自右侧的忧虑：哈里森·福特，2002年于加利福尼亚州安肯；艾瑞莎·富兰克林，1930年于底特律；迈莉·赛勒斯，2010年于好莱坞；比约克，1999年于冰岛雷克雅未克；詹姆斯·布朗，1993年于佐治亚州奥古斯塔；丹尼·德维托，1995年于加利福尼亚州卡尔弗城。关于他为德维托拍摄的照片，怀特表示：“这在某种程度上是我向希区柯克肖像画致敬。”“……然后他当然吐了一个烟圈。而在我的快门捕捉中，我看到了最完美的瞬间。” --- EB 12 16 华盛顿邮报 - 2018年8月2日，星期日

在洛杉矶的一家前医院里，一次对情感的审视

作者：ANNA FORMAN 发自洛杉矶，美联社

我走过救护车和轮椅营地的等待区 20。Meadwong 说道，Rosigand 医生穿着那件白色实验服，准备在房间里为一名橙色病患办理登记。但在这家医院，被审视的不是你的生命体征，而是你的感受。“情感医院”是一场沉浸式艺术体验，在洛杉矶市中心附近早已关闭的圣文森特医疗中心（St. Vincent Medical Center）内部，探索人类存在的不同方面。这家前医院由慈善修女会于 1918 年创立，旨在治疗贫困人口，随后在 1922 年破产并被私人投资者收购。该场地将被重新开发为无家可归者收容所以及心理健康和药物治疗设施，第一阶段将于今年晚些时候开放。但在 9 月底之前，医院的房间里摆满了 70 位艺术家的 80 件装置作品。每位艺术家获得了约 $1.8万,000 的资金，将四层临床空间转化为对各种情感的探索，涵盖从医疗和家庭创伤到对气候变化和移民拘留中心的悲痛等所有内容。

医院空间被转化为色彩斑斓的艺术装置

该项目是以 Maew Wul 和其他将艺术视为娱乐的营利性游乐中心的精神而创建的。正如 Peace 的“Inside One”一样，色彩浓郁的巡游者遍布整个展览，普遍地传达了从喜悦、希望到愤怒和悲伤的一系列情绪。一个橙色怪物从麻醉站后面眨眼，而象征嫉妒的阴影绿色巨人在一个原本正常的陷阱房中对峙：他们的脸上装饰着荒诞的、像克隆一样的表情。37 个袋子装满了彩虹色的液体，头顶的检查灯上装饰着人造花样本，拐杖上披着独木舟和纸板假发。进入“韧性部门”，你会发现一只折射光线的棱镜玻璃蝴蝶，并配有一件令人不安的互动音频作品，讲述一位艺术家经历癫痫发作的体验。耳机中传出的喘息声与房间内录制并回放的尖叫声形成对比，营造出一种超现实的脱离身体的效果。在相邻的房间里，一千个太阳蛋被钉在床、墙壁和地板上，艺术家 Melan Allen 表示，这代表了她童年时期尽管厌恶却被强迫食用的鸡蛋。这个房间尤其引起了 Sharon Maxwell 的共鸣，她从圣地亚哥开车来观看展览。“我有许多关于鸡蛋的故事，”她说，“我正在从饮食失调中康复，我接受过治疗，住过医院。这一切都非常显而易见。”虽然去医院可能是一次痛苦的经历，但 Maxwell 表示，在医院里参观艺术展让她感受到了一种全新的连接感。这里没有护士、外科医生或病人，每个人作为观众都处于平等地位。“当你成为床上那个接受心理健康治疗的人时，你就像是一个被围观的对象，”她说。

对焦虑、恐惧与创伤的敏锐审视

在“恐惧部门”（Fear Department）中，一个基于真实人物的虚拟角色发表了一段关于在战斗区域服役后患上创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的脆弱演说，随后读了一封利用人工智能结合多位退伍军人经历而编写的自杀遗书。该装置作品名为《永不欺骗的词汇》（The Word That Never Cheats）。沿着走廊走下去，另一个房间从地板到天花板都被黑白肖像画覆盖，这些画由一位曾在美国移民拘留中心度过 15 个月的艺术家用纤细的线条绘制而成。“我 1912 年离开罗马尼亚是因为我的政治观点以及我的同性恋身份。我原以为这将是一次对安全的寻找，结果却成了一场与恐惧的长期遭遇，”格里沙·博亚尼安（Grisha Boyanian）说道。他的装置作品探讨了“恐惧如何沉淀在身体里，如何停留，即使在没有直接危险的时候；以及安全感在出现时，是如何既短暂又近乎常态的”。

最成功的房间利用了医疗空间的视觉语言，而没有规定观众应该感受到什么。在“恐惧部门”的另一个房间里，艺术家凌东泽（Dongze Ling）通过一个由包装胶带模塑而成的透明人像额外装置，让其祖父的形象栩栩如生。她的祖父多年前在上海去世，在临终前，他描述过在病床周围看到鬼魂。在某个共同位置，标准的人像占据着角落，并消失在机构化的天花板通风口中。这部作品还受到了凌东泽童年时期与家人在医院度过 10 天经历的影响。“我几乎死掉了。我没法进食，”她说道，“我每晚呕血三次。”

凌东泽表示，创作该装置的过程非常剧烈。有一次她试图前往工作室，却不小心走到了地下室——那里通常是遗体在送往殡仪馆前存放的地方，她说她发现了一些令人不寒而栗的事情：“那里冰冷且死一般寂静。”

认清情感的悖论

超声波技术员安德里亚·博格斯（Andrea Boggs）表示，这些装置让她想起了人们即使在面对死亡时也拥有的坚韧与韧性——这是她在重症监护室和急诊室工作时所见证的。“我每天都面对着挣扎求生并最终挺过来的人们，他们变得更加强大，”她说。当博格斯看到患者或其家属在困难时期仍能保持希望时，她深受触动。“这激励我记住，这一切是可能的，”她说。“即使在并非关于悲伤的叙事中，你依然可以体验到快乐，这不像是一种孤立的体验，必须先度过悲伤才能体验快乐，对吧？两者同时存在，且两者都值得尊重。”

对于其他参观者来说，这些装置也反映了他们情感的悖论。“当别人看到我们的情感时，会有一种被察觉的感觉——无论那是喜悦与庆祝，还是忧伤与痛苦。人类经验中有一种需求，就是需要被看见，”麦克斯韦（Maxwell）说道。“我认为这次艺术展以一种深刻的方式真正展示了这一点，它以一种非常有力量的方式将人性呈现在人们面前。”

“当别人看到我们的情感时，会有一种慰藉感——无论那是喜悦与庆祝，还是忧伤与痛苦。人类经验中有一种需求，就是需要被看见。我认为这次艺术展以一种深刻的方式真正展示了这一点，它以一种非常有力量的方式将人性呈现在人们面前。”来自圣迭戈观看展览的莎伦·麦克斯韦（Sharon Maxwell）说道。

我曾计划一直做一个酷儿、单身且养猫的姨妈。然后我遇到了他。

Say More PACIFIC NORTH, AM

亲爱的 Ray Moore：

如果你在两年前问我，我会告诉你我的计划是做一个单身养猫的姨妈。然后我坠入了爱河。我是 QEMPOC 且是一名移民，而他处于 white-struggle；他是公民，在遇到我之前，即使过了十年，他甚至不知道 queer 或 EPPOC 是什么意思。刚开始时，我很明确地不想进入传统的异性恋规范关系。他必须放弃对共同生活方式的既定想法，并敢于共同想象一个酷儿的未来。但随着月份过去，我发现自己不仅想要一场婚礼（他已经向我求婚了），而且我也将自己视为一名父母。是的，我们可以按照我们想要的样子和感觉来创造我们自己的方式，而且我们也可以庆祝我们想要的（无论是否举行婚礼）。这不是问题所在。

我想请教你的是：我怎么知道我不仅仅是在爱的“影响”之下这样做？如果确实如此，也没有错！但随后，生活是否公平，就在于当我不确定关于育儿的事情，但我可以确定我想与这个特定的伴侣共同育儿，尽管我知道 50% 的婚姻以离婚告终？——匿名

是的，你很可能是在爱的影响下改变了你未被埋没的计划，对此我不确定。正如你所说，你的伴侣“放弃了对共同生活方式的既定想法”，所以看来他也做了同样的事。你让爱改变了你。这很美好，不是吗？你的伴侣看起来是个足够体面的人，而这其实并不是关于如何处理你们的分歧或经营关系，而是一个脆弱的自我正在面对其崩塌。你正在放弃那个服务了你多年的“单身养猫姨妈”的原型。

标签、草图和计划可以减轻现代生活的认知负担，我知道遵循剧本很有诱惑力，但过度延伸在自我的多变天性面前显得如此贫乏。你和你的舞伴将会改变。一段关系，一份爱，往往就是这种改变的本质。至于育儿……我无法建议在这种情况下生孩子是否公平，只能说你看起来是个足够清醒的人。有些人确信自己能承担更大的风险，但并不是最好的父母。有些人没有计划，却成为了令人惊叹的父母。也许“父母”的轮廓现在并不完美地契合你，但如果你说它很新，它可能会。

从我搞砸的旅程中吸取教训

一位资深旅行者为了喝杯咖啡而错过了航班 作者：ANDREA BACHS

医疗紧急情况、性交通堵塞或改变主意，这些都是错过航班的正当理由。但一杯咖啡不是。然而，咖啡可能会被重新提起。我没有登上从里根国家机场飞往波士顿的 2247 号航班。事实上，我能向美国航空的登机口代理员、聊天人员、客户服务代表以及我的母亲提供的唯一有效身份就是 Logan Jr.，而我的母亲原本期待我在最近的一个周三晚上到达，而不是接下来的早晨。

事情是这样的：在等待航班延迟起飞期间，我到机场休息室去喝了杯咖啡。当我回到登机口时，所有乘客都已经登机，舱门已关闭。飞机仍然连接在登机桥上，但代理员说不能进去。我太迟了。

作为旅行者，我们会犯错。其中许多错误我们可以耸耸肩就过去了，但有些则需要进行事后分析。我决定回顾我在那个搞砸的旅行日中所做的所有决定。我还请美国航空以及 Vining 的旅行专家 Katy Nastro 就我本可以——以及应该——采取的不同做法发表看法。

飞行前警告

我飞往波士顿的航班原定于 7 月 22. 下午 3 点起飞。前一天，由于东海岸沿线强烈的风暴，航空公司一直受到航班延误和取消的困扰。我收到了一封来自美国航空的电子邮件，警告天气可能会造成干扰，并提供将我的行程更改为不同时间、日期或机场的选项。

我的处理方式：我检查了华盛顿和波士顿的天气预报。两者看起来都不极端，所以我拒绝了该提议。

我学到的教训：Nastro 建议我们在全天持续关注天气来源。“即使影响很小或在附近，仍然存在进一步波及整个网络的可能性，”她说。美国航空表示，客户——灵活性应该考虑旅行豁免，以避免潜在的延误或取消。

悄然增加的延误

在下午早些时候，关于因“空中交通管制管理”而延误的通知开始通过短信、电子邮件和应用程序困扰我。

我的处理方式：在第四次更新之后——飞机是周一-八（10 PM）

斟一杯雄心，前往这个休息站

多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）将她的名字赋予了一个路边景点。这里本身就是一个目的地。

安吉拉·皮尔斯 (Angela Pierce) 面临着大约 2,000 英里的车程。车里有两只狗，而她的丈夫很快将在诺克斯维尔机场降落。尽管时间紧迫，她还是得在途中停靠一次。作为一名 Parton 的拥趸，为了填补对多莉 (Dolly) 的热爱，她停在了“多莉的田纳西旅行店” (Dolly's Tennessee Travel Shop)。“我专门绕路行驶了一英里半就为了来这里，”皮尔斯说道，此时她的狗正停在“狗子 Parton” (Doggy Parton) 狗公园里。“我要买周边商品，希望我还有时间买一杯‘雄心之杯’ (Cup of Ambition)。”

公路休息站正迅速成为其自身的目的地。总部位于德克萨斯州、面向最繁忙线路的休息站引发了这一趋势；而多莉·帕顿 (Dolly Parton) 则将其推向极致。今年 6 月，帕顿在科纳科维尔 (Cornacoville) —— 更为人熟知的那个 22. —— 推出了“多莉的田纳西旅行店”。这位乡村音乐巨星兼商业女性与格雷戈里·H·萨克斯 (Gregory H. Sachs) 合作。后者是管理合伙人。（我与萨克斯没有亲属关系。）在 2015, 年一场毁灭性的绿色大火之后，他决定重新构思这个路边景点，实现与这位闪耀的公路战士的梦想合作。“我突然意识到，多莉·帕顿，凭借她的魅力、她的闪光点、她的华丽以及她对人们真诚的爱，正是我所缺失的，”住在科纳科维尔附近的萨克斯说道。“于是有一天我醒来，心想：‘好吧，这就是多莉的田纳西。’”

近年来，我一直在进行个人的“多莉探索”，尤其是在她的一次巡演巴士采访中听了我翻唱的疫情版《A to 3》之后。我在多莉坞 (Dollywood) 度过了好几天，入住过她的两家山地度假村，并参观了她在鸽子锻 (Pigeon Forge) 的许多景点，包括弗兰克鸡肉店 (Frank's Chicken Cult) 里会唱歌的主流家禽。我沿着乡间小路缓缓前行，那里有着童年的宁静。当我听说有一个由帕顿领衔的休息站时，我想知道这个景点会是纯粹的多莉风格，还是一个肤浅的噱头。那张带有 10-kce 图例的地图看起来很有前景。这块 10 英亩的土地拥有一个狗公园、壁画、巡演巴士、后露台，以及为轿车、卡车和电动汽车提供的加油泵和停车场。在内部，这个 2.5万,000 平方英尺的空间包含一家全服务餐厅、咖啡和冰淇淋店、烧烤柜台、杂货店、卡车司机休息室、现场音乐舞台，以及绝对不能被忽视的洗手间。当然，唯一能确定答案的方法就是在这个夏天前往田纳西州中部进行一次公路旅行。

霍雨林 (Hoh Rain Forest) 每年平均降水量为 160 英寸，形成了由覆盖地表的苔藓和蕨类植物组成的茂密林冠。

奥林匹克国家公园徒步之旅：带我前往美国最安静的地方

作者：RAIN HILL（摄影）

在沿着霍河步道（Hoh River Trail）——一条通往美国本土最安静之地的路径——走上短短几步后，世界的其余部分便已开始隐匿。此时正值奥林匹克国家公园夏季旅游的开始，但不知为何，我足够幸运地在霍雨林访客中心抢到了最后几个停车位之一。从那里开始，大多数游客都前往“门塞大厅”（Hall of Mense），那是公园内一条著名的短环线，穿过一片如大教堂般古老的原始森林。但在步道的一个分叉口，我转向了另一个方向，朝着霍河步道走去。我选择徒步这条路径，不仅是因为我想在全国最著名的自然声景之一中提升自我，还因为我想了解关于“一平方英寸之静”（One Square Inch of Mores）的一切，这是一个致力于保护这片著名静谧之地的项目。

霍河步道向公园中心延伸近 18 英里，但氛围很快就发生了变化。从步道起点传来的交谈声随着每一步的前行而变得遥远，汽车发动机的轰鸣声消失了，取而代之的是茂密林冠中传来的鸟鸣，以及霍河在树林间低沉的奔流声。游客们曾沿着步道寻找一块红色的小石头，它标志着该项目的象征性中心。一名巡逻员告诉我，那个标记已经不见了——也许是被游客带走了，或者仅仅是被多年的落枝、石头和森林碎片掩埋了。

然而事实证明，标记从来不是重点。在我旅行前给声学生态学家戈登·霍顿（Gordon Houghton）打电话时，他告诉我，这个项目并不是为了在森林中寻找某一个点，而是为了学习如何倾听。“成为一个真正倾听者的第一条规则就是放下结果，”霍顿告诉我，“这种体验不需要为你而存在。你只需要倾听那里实际存在的声音。”

静下心来，你可能会听到枫树上的一只鸟在歌唱，或者远处麋鹿的鸣叫。你可能会花上一个小时，耳边只有林冠中的风声、滴水声以及由冰川补给的河流声，将某种东西带到视线之外。对于霍顿来说，所有这些都是一种馈赠，这也是他在记录自然世界近五十年间所秉持的指导原则。他曾环游全球记录自然声景，发现世界上最微小的声音远比那些亮点更有趣，而且在他访问过的所有地方中，没有一个地方比奥林匹克国家公园更令他着迷。

霍河步道提供了美国最著名的自然声景之一。

霍河步道向华盛顿州奥林匹克国家公园的中心延伸近 18 英里。

“我确实称它为倾听者的圣地，”他说。他的职业生涯一直专注于寻找世界上有趣的声音，直到 1983 年，霍顿突然失去了听力。在 18 个月的时间里，耳中无色的鸣响让他无法工作，有时甚至无法清晰地理解自己孩子的话。当他的听力恢复时，随之而来的是对沉默的感激。“当我的听力恢复时，我也找回了我的安静。我太高兴不必再生活在那种噪音风暴中了，”他说，“就在那时我决定，我不知道我是否能拯救沉默，但在我重新找回它之前，我不会责怪任何人。”

正是这一点，将霍顿带回了霍河。

1985年，他在霍河步道（Hoh River Trail）沿线划定了一平方英寸的“静谧之地”——并非因为那是雨林中唯一安静的地方，而是因为保护一个静谧的点可以引起人们对整个声景的关注。多年来，他记录了每一架干扰森林的飞机，记录时间，录制声音，并联系航空公司，试图让航班避开奥林匹克国家公园。一些航空公司自愿将航班调整至其他地方，尽管商业航空流量依然在头顶飞过。根据霍顿（Houghton）的估计，为了消除飞机噪音——这对霍河声景最大的威胁——每架飞机只需增加不到一分钟的飞行时间，且每位乘客的成本不到1美元。

“聆听自然的部分问题在于，我们通常只听到那些足够响亮、容易被察觉的声音，”霍顿说，“但正是在听觉的阈值处，世界才真正变得生动。上帝在低语，而人类在呐喊。”

现在每年有超过100万人访问奥林匹克国家公园，许多人在霍河雨林停留一小时，然后前往下一个观景点或目的地。人们很容易将这座森林视为旅途中的另一个景点，而忽略了它最大的馈赠：人类的噪音在背景中消褪得足够久，久到让人想起如何聆听。尽管人类的噪音继续侵蚀着霍顿用职业生涯记录的静谧极限，但霍河依然是美国最适合以森林自身状态聆听森林的地方。

沿着河流行走是让耳朵比平时更专注的好方法。我听到了一些我无法辨认的声音，风在林冠层间呼啸，我的脚在沙地中陷落。我并非在乞求，而这并不重要。--- 62 66 F3

位于田纳西州科纳维尔（Cornarville）的多莉田纳西旅行驿站（Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop）的后露台区域，该驿站为卡车司机和普通游客提供便利设施。

朵莉·帕顿将自己的名字冠名给了一家休息站。这是一个闪亮且完美的成功之举。

旅行休息站的痛苦在于，巨大的驾驶行程并未让我为那充满尾门派对氛围的拥挤停车场做好心理准备。尽管天气闷热，我不得不小心翼翼地在穿着朵莉·帕顿 T 恤、穿着牛仔短裤或靴子的年轻人之间穿行。有个男人竟然大胆地穿着一件像女性风格的衬衫。这里有 100 个汽车停车位，以及同样数量的卡车车位，我直接驶入了一个空位。吸引我的，是朵莉的田纳西旅行休息站（Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop）的广告牌，它们与街对面的麦当劳争夺着视觉空间。那个标志——一个留着浓密头发、穿着迷人高跟鞋、拿着麦克风的女孩——让金拱门都显得逊色。在进入室内之前，我沿着一条点缀着音符和蝴蝶的彩绘步道走到一个音乐亭前。

《蝴蝶摇篮曲（山地福音）》

游客们排队等待，在五彩斑斓且展开双翼的背景前拍照。附近，一件黑色礼服被发现是某张照片的底片，上面印着她 20 世纪 70 年代巡演时期的单身形象。解读这些微小的细节是任何朵莉冒险的一部分，于是我们推测“TALY ALL”的含义。“纳什维尔地区的可口可乐？”我这样猜测，随即感到后悔。噢，天哪。不过，那是那首著名的电视节目歌曲。

闪闪发光的吉他和肉桂面包

正门打开，进入了一个“朵莉购物中心”，里面有成排的货架和礼品架，有些是康纳维尔（Cornarville）站专属的。为了在购物的喧嚣中找回重心，我寻找一个指路明灯，最终落在了一盏由弦乐器制成的分层吊灯上，上面装饰着从帕特里尔（Patreels）衣橱中收集的水钻和珠子。因为当时是停车高峰期——全天有多个这样的时段——人群从全服务餐厅中盘旋而出，在冰淇淋摊和供应朵莉新系列咖啡的咖啡店周围折返。这款咖啡叫“雄心之杯”（Cup of Ambition）（此处注：引用了歌词）。在烧烤柜台，一名员工在推销手撕猪肉三明治和披萨，而即买即走的碎屑点心和水果则几乎无人问津。我想，吃饭可以稍后再说。

没有人排队进入卡车司机休息室，这是一个安静的避风港，配有躺椅、两台电视，以及在相邻房间里的 康妮·威尔金森（Connie Wilkinson）、谢里·泰勒（Sherri Taylor）和德韦恩·布朗（Dwayne Brown）在休息站咖啡店的标志牌旁拍照。 该休息站设有自助餐厅（而且就像其他目的地休息站一样，它有一个烧烤柜台）。这里还有白-韦德自助洗衣店（White-Wade Inundromat，提供洗衣机和烘干机）以及淋浴间（收费 810 或加满一箱油后免费）。

我加入了两个在经历了从孟菲斯出发的四小时车程后正在放松的女性。这对伙伴为她们的贵宾组织了这次公路旅行，这位来自意大利的朋友非常渴望吃到朵莉标志性的肉桂面包，那是她当年住在田纳西州时的一段珍贵记忆。

“这是一个很棒的一日公路旅行，”一家劳动法事务所的办公室经理玛丽·柯林斯（Mary Collins）说，“朋友们，一群人在车里，一起闲逛，吃些肉桂面包，买一件 T 恤或一顶酷帽子，然后开心一下。”

一名员工在“雄心之杯”咖啡店展示新鲜出炉的肉桂面包。

柯林斯最终离开了舒适的休息室，找到了她的朋友梅丽莎·索森（Melissa Thorson）。索森正挤在一个乙烯基卡座里吃冰淇淋。索森买了一块面包，计划在飞往那不勒斯之前把它吃完。

“我甚至没有托运行李，”索森说，“所以我没法带一大堆面包回去。”

。仅仅是通过缓慢地咀嚼，我就像是在主舞台的前排占据了一个位置，舞台正对着餐厅的自助餐区。多莉（Dolly）的巨幅照片悬在我们的上方，那是她《Dungin'》原声带中的照片，她的红色分钟像手指一样指向亚伦·威利斯（Aaron Willis）和马莫特·肖尔（Marmott Shor）。一旦威利斯开始精简，那些早起用餐的人们便从他们的肉类和核糖糖泪（tears of meat-and-ribose）以及高杯甜茶中抬起头来。他们跟着自己喜欢的歌曲一起唱，并在不喜欢的翻唱曲目时交谈。“这是一个孩子，”特雷斯·萨克斯·贾斯蒂斯（Trace Sacks Justice）说道，这位特别保护经理正在将音乐节目扩展到周日和周六之外。“我们不希望人们在用餐时大声尖叫。”在楼上以及通过“摇滚明星”的（thereof），比尔特莫尔路乐队（Biltmore Rd Band）的成员们正在为晚上9点的演出调试他们的乐器，演出地点是在一个装有工业风扇（sic）和四辆车（sic）的遮阳门廊上。萨克斯·贾斯蒂斯表示，这个休息站最初专注于乡村音乐（sic），出于包容精神，目前正在扩展到其他流派，例如来自阿拉巴马内（Alabamane）的蓝草音乐。“当你告诉人们你在多莉的田纳西旅行休息站（Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop）演出时，感觉挺酷的，”乐队的圣经（bible）凯尔西·戴维斯（Kelsey Davis）说道。“并不是每个人都有机会这样做，而且你在公路旅行中停靠的每个地方并不都是像这样的地方。”在三小时音乐会的休息期间，我溜进了卡车司机休息室。我与两名司机和一名坐在垫子上的西方新手静静地坐在一起。周日上午，我回到康纳维尔（Cornarville）听切尔西·罗兹（Chelsea Rhodes）演出，她是一位纳什维尔的创作歌手，这次回来是为了进行返场表演。在多莉改造之前，她曾在田纳西演出过。她说，这次不同。“我现在是多莉家族和体验的一部分，”罗兹说。在演出开始前，她来到我的桌边，分享了她狗的照片，多莉飞在其中。在她滚动手机屏幕时，我捕捉到了县里的城镇正义（Justice of the Town in County），“让我们在她的西边。”

Bar-ect's in, Dolly's：他们如何检查？在后露台，靠近碎屑处，三名来自诺克斯维尔（Knoxville）地区的女性在“雄心之杯”（Cup of Ambition）标志前摆姿势拍照。她们正从纳什维尔的一次会议返回家中，并结束一次非正式的旅行休息站之旅。

三天前在访问 Cornersville 之前，她们曾在 Ruc-ori 停留。她们告诉我，那里的预告在洗手间和价格方面得分更高。我不得不同意她们的看法。楼下女洗手间的队伍经常很长，尽管我很欣赏多莉在打扮的照片。楼上的洗手间只有两个隔间，且没有肖像画。她们说这里的理发师贵了 84。在纪念品方面，我花了 $30 买了一个多莉的旅行休息站纪念品。简而言之，Ruc-ori 的胆怯让我损失了 $20。与此同时，多莉在装饰、专业度和休息区方面完胜竞争对手。在 Ruc-ori，我只能靠在租来的车头上。而在多莉的休息站，我的座位选择比餐食选择还多。在多莉的休息站待了两天，喝了两杯 Ambition 咖啡后，我开始感到疲倦。我需要充电，我的手机也是。这两个路边景点都属于公共充电设施类别。不过，我在楼上的露台上找到了一个电源插座。我独自坐在舞台上，但时间并不长。一只名叫 Jake 的腊肠犬蹭了过来，对我踢了踢。它的主人是一名运送船只的卡车司机，他坐下来喝了杯啤酒，开始向我讲述引导他来到这里的旅程。我们聊了很久，以至于我不得不停止聊天以便赶飞机回家。我被所有冷冻的东西填满了——食物、咖啡、纪念品、音乐、对话、多莉——除了一样。我忘了留时间给油箱加油。

从顶部起顺时针方向：帕顿在她的休息站无处不在——包括在这个印有《8 to 5》歌词的标志上（其中包含 8 和 5）。中间的 Melissa Therrien 与朋友一起前来购买一些肉桂面包，然后返回她居住的 Boly。Aaron Willis 在表演。大部分周边商品都印有该旅行休息站的标志：一个拥有浓密头发、穿着惊人高跟鞋并拿着麦克风的挡泥板女孩。

欧洲王室打造的奢华避世之所值得造访

作者：ROCK STEVENS

过去的王室——就像现在的王室一样——非常喜爱他们的乡村度假地。这些奢华的避世之所提供了逃离城市和夏季酷暑的去处，是狩猎和骑马等消遣活动的场所，并且拥有足够的土地来建造宏伟的展示性宫殿和花园。虽然欧洲有许多可以参观的乡村夏宫，但其中有几个因其巨大的规模、极尽奢华的风格以及建造者那超过 80% 的强势个性而显得格外卓越。

欧洲宫殿的祖师爷是凡尔赛宫——路易十四国王在 17 世纪逃离巴黎的避风港。路易是这种观念的化身：有些人天生就是为了统治——而其他所有人只需要遵守规则。作为一名“神授君主”，他必须让他的子民意识到，上帝确实注定他可以不受质疑地统治。为了实现这一点，他需要一座尽职尽责的府邸。路易花费了大量公共财政资金，将他父亲的狩猎小屋变成了一座适合神灵（他将自己也算在内）居住的宫殿。主宫殿以装饰华丽的彩绘天花板、繁复的装饰家具和令人印象深刻的艺术品而著称——甚至包括这里的三个 Lais 作品。最引人注目的是镜厅，排列着 21 面 strobod 镜子。在当时，镜子是极大的奢侈品，这些镜子的数量和尺寸在当时——以及现在——都令人震惊。路易还建造了极致的花园——经过精心规划、修剪和装饰，向所有人展示他能像神一样掌控自然。花园的喷泉不仅仅是艺术和工程的结合；它们旨在强化宫殿传递的信息。阿波罗喷泉展示了“太阳王”（“是阿波罗——还是路易？”）坐在战车上开始他在天空中的记忆，由他的 stereotype 或海豚引领方向。

在 300 年的时间里，凡尔赛宫一直是欧洲最奢侈的宫殿——引发了许多 warmsters 的模仿。在俄罗斯，罗曼诺夫家族对凡尔赛宫的回应是位于圣彼得堡郊外的 Cothi-ene 宫殿。1715 年，彼得大帝及其妻子叶卡捷琳娜一世开始建造一座两层的小寓所。当他们的女儿伊丽莎白接手后，她聘请了一位著名的意大利建筑师将宫殿重建为宏伟的 bar 风格，这种风格在俄罗斯被称为“伊丽莎白风格”。

法国凡尔赛花园中的 Lisboa 喷泉是路易十四国王宫殿外的一件艺术与工程奇迹。

参观宫殿可以让人洞察曾经统治欧洲的君主。图中是 Neurohwannlein 城堡。

伊丽莎白的奢华品味在 1,000 平方英尺的大厅中得到了充分体现，这里拥有 100 面镜子（灵感来自凡尔赛宫的类似装饰），并由多达 1,000 盏蜡烛照明。更令人惊叹的是琥珀屋。这个像珠宝盒一样的房间在黑暗中坐落，拥有六吨琥珀马赛克——最初是普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世送给其盟友彼得大帝的礼物——随后被伊丽莎白移至宫殿并进行了扩建。

一个多世纪后，巴伐利亚的“疯狂”国王路易二世建造了欧洲最逃避现实的避世之所。路易更喜欢

在俄罗斯，罗曼诺夫家族对凡尔赛宫的回应是位于圣彼得堡郊外的 Cothi-ene 宫殿。

在家族的狩猎宫 Hohenschwanzer 度过时光，而不是在慕尼黑处理政治事务。在那里期间，他像个搭建树屋的孩子一样，致力于在相邻的山丘上建造他梦想中的城堡。从 1603 年到 1860 年建造的 Neurohwannlein 城堡是 19 世纪浪漫主义的缩影。它充满了许多中世纪主题，其中许多源自路易的朋友理查德·瓦格纳的剧作。奢华的主题房间拥有一扇精美的马赛克门，描绘了一部动物的视觉百科全书

以及植物，采用了新罗马尼亚风格建模，以强调他的乡村地位。他睡在一张雕刻精美的华盖床上，顶部设有哥特式弦组森林选项。令人难以忍受的是，这一切仅持续了175天。在他搬入后，一个医生小组宣布路德维希精神失常，他失去了他的权力，并被发现死在湖中。在路德维希建造他梦想中的城堡之前不久，他的远房表亲葡萄牙国王费迪南二世也建造了一座属于自己的浪漫山顶城堡：波萨宫。弗兰德桑特·费迪南将一座19世纪的马莫廷修道院改造成了一座融合了德国浪漫主义和葡萄牙美德的20世纪宫殿。其结果是一个疯狂且色彩斑斓的哥特式塔楼、罗马诺瓦里圆顶、特立独行的君主、马莫廷雕刻和丁特兰种植园的组合。这座宫殿位于里斯本郊外的辛特拉，曾由皇室小说 2018 占用，直到他们遭遇一场民众起义。那些布置优雅的房间仍保持着当年的原样，赋予了这里在宫殿中罕见的亲密感。如今，这些疯狂的道路之屋向大众开放——而且人们确实纷至沓来。值得注意的是（戒指粉丝）。即使你必须在人群中挤出一条路，参观这些夸张的隐居地也能让人洞察那些曾经统治欧洲的、充满活力且往往古怪的君主。本文经 Rock Streeter Europe 许可使用。Rock Streeter 是欧洲政府，根据公共电视和广播的规定，并登记欧洲旅游。

从我的错误中学习。不要错过你的（延误的）航班。

MIRROR FLORENT PETCH ET 现在起飞时间为下午 6:45 —— 并且有几篇虚假报道前往机场。我最终放弃了，从办公室搬到了 DCA 机场。如果航空公司取消了延误，我想让自己处于可以登机的距离内。

我的教训： Nastro 表示，我前往机场是对的，因为航空公司可能会突然撤销延误的起飞计划。此外，她表示，一旦航班变为取消，我就应该立即研究备选航班。这些信息在当天晚些时候会有所帮助，但原因不同。

机场休息室排队

我到达时还有时间，所以我去了 Capital One 休息室附近。接待员说等待时间为 25 到 30 分钟。

我的处理方式： 我不想匆忙行事，也不想在继续行走时冒错过航班的风险。

我的教训： Nastro 对我的决定表示赞赏：“Nastro 建议跳过休息室，因为他们不发布公告，你只能自己管理航班信息，”她说。

波士顿地面停飞

在登机口，我收到一条短信，新的起飞时间为晚上 7:30，并发现了延误的原因：波士顿地面停飞。一名登机口代理员在约 60 分钟后宣布，“全部暂停”。

我的处理方式： 我在 2st 休息室看到了我们的飞机，但我没有询问关于地面停飞的情况或推出时间。假设我有足够的时间喝杯咖啡，我回到了休息室。

我的教训： 美国航空表示，起飞时间可能会根据天气情况或空中交通限制而提前或推迟。该承运公司补充说，一名代理员会提供最新的信息。Nastro 特别指出了晚上 7:30 的起飞时间与离开登机口之间的区别。她说，代理员应该明确提供更相关的推出时间，这会显示在机场航班信息板上以及发送给乘客个人设备的通知中。

休息室候补

仍然需要等待 25 分钟，因此接待员提出将你列入名单。

我的处理方式： 我认为我在登机前至少还有时间。在 6:15，我将我的名字以及另一位波士顿乘客（Mughan）的名字放在了候补名单上。

我的教训： Nastro 说，虽然这里有“极其相关的时间”，但这也不是很多时间。她建议留在登机口附近，或者不能错过机组人员和登机口代理员的动态。

MIRROR FLORENT PETCH ET “他们的动作通常在任何推送通知之前就预示了发生了什么或没发生什么，”她说。美国航空表示，休息室是延误期间放松的好地方，但乘客仍应通过实时通知监控其航班。

变动的起飞时间

当 Mughan 和我在讨论我们对特殊喷雾的共同厌恶时，我意识到了时间。我收到美国航空的最后一条短信称起飞时间为晚上 7:30。现在大约 7 点，登机在即。

我的处理方式： 我在看饮料，而 Mughan 走到登机口检查我们的航班。她回来时，一脸沮丧。飞机已经在没有我们的情况下完成了登机。

我的教训： 美国航空在的一份声明中表示，当航班因天气或空中交通管制限制而延误时，起飞时间可能会随着“情况的变化”而改变。除了定期检查航空公司的应用程序、通知和机场显示屏外，乘客在“公布的起飞时间临近时应留在登机口附近”。

机舱门已关闭

在空无一人的登机口，工作人员告知我们登机流程已结束，舱门已关闭——并且将保持关闭状态。我的处理方式： Mughan 请求工作人员让我们登机。考虑到登机截止时间有 10 分钟的硬性限制，我保持了沉默。我的感悟： Nastro 说我做对了。

与聊天机器人的对话

我请求工作人员指引我们前往客户服务台进行改签。她表示航空公司已经撤销了该服务台，我们必须使用应用程序或拨打更多客户服务电话。我的处理方式： 我与应用程序的聊天机器人进行了一次令人沮丧的交流，它无法理解“我因为买杯咖啡而错过了航班”这句话。我的感悟： Nastro 说我没有给出有效的提示。她说：“不要给它理由，尤其是它没有经过训练的理由。更好的理由应该是‘错过航班，请求沟通’，意思是‘重新安排’。”

尝试联系人工客服

测试毫无用处。由人工来计划。我的处理方式： 我拨打了客户服务电话并解释了情况，希望援引“Nastro规则”，该规则赋予航空公司员工自由裁量权，为因不可避免的问题而错过航班的乘客重新安排行程。工作人员说她可以将我安排在晚上 10:30 的航班上，但只剩一个座位了。我将这个座位让给了 Mughan，因为她在波士顿以北有一个早会，且当时正在与公司通话讨论方案。我询问工作人员关于次日的航班（ 8 a.m. 直飞或经由纽约州罗切斯特中转）以及 Poston 的情况。她回复我持有的是基础经济舱机票，禁止更改，并警告我她应该对我收取新机票的费用。收到的信息： 选择第一个可用路线或付费——每一个，Mughan。在挂断电话前，她告知我又出现了一个空位。我可以再次让 Mughan 登机。我的感悟： Nastro 说我本应该跳过机器人直接联系人工。“这些机器人没有理智，它们绝对无法理解什么‘咖啡流’，”她说。她还建议在电话中与工作人员沟通的同时，不断刷新应用程序，直到新的预订出现。

为我的错误买单 我们在午夜后不久降落，就在 Logan Express 停止运行几分钟之后，该巴士每半小时一班。下一班在凌晨 5:15 出发。我的处理方式： 我花 $15 订了一辆共享汽车，但我决定将其视为为那杯不该买的咖啡支付的代价。这笔 15 元的费用是我应付的。我的感悟： 我本应该选择 Poston 客户咖啡胶囊或使用旅行应用程序 Flights。Nastro 说：“你可以通过应用程序实时检查波士顿的雷达和 / 或运行报告，这本可以给你提供所需的全部信息。”

总结

这次糟糕的旅行经历让我学到了很多教训，其中最大的一点是，我永远不应该离开延误航班的登机区域，因为出发时间可能会随时变动。如果早知道这一点，我会等待并在飞行高度上订购咖啡。

TSA 今年夏天迄今为止发现的最奇怪违禁品

作者：NATALIE B. CONDYON

今年夏天，全国各地的机场都非常繁忙。即便世界杯的客流高峰已过，随着美国人和访客共同开启旅行季，美国运输安全管理局（TSA）每天仍需筛查超过 200 万 名乘客。对于国家消费者来说，需要清查的行李量巨大。虽然工作人员的大部分时间都在检查随身携带的满水瓶和手持尺寸的液体，但他们也阻止了一些奇怪的物品登上飞机。以下是今年夏天迄今为止最离奇的 75lbs most wherever the catches。

真烟雾弹

你喜欢你的花生酱是颗粒状的、顺滑的，还是……烟熏味的？6月底，印第安纳波利斯国际机场的官员在一名乘客的托运行李中发现了两枚真实的烟雾弹——其中一枚被淹没在花生酱罐里。如果你在好奇——不，任何类型的手榴弹 / 烟雾弹都不允许随身携带旅行。

一枚惰性手榴弹

这次没有花生花生酱，相反，6月25日的一名乘客在随身携带的包中简单地放置了一枚惰性手榴弹，并准备前往底特律大都会韦恩县机场登机。官员不得不指示并关闭安全检查站，随后将其移交给机场执法部门，执法部门判定该装置没有爆炸风险。

一个复制炸弹和地雷

对于俄亥俄州的TSA官员来说，6月初非常忙碌。在一周之内，他们在代顿国际机场的随身行李中发现了一个训练教具和一枚坦克地雷，随后在艾肯布鲁克国际机场又发现了一个逼真的复制管状炸弹——同样是在随身行李中。尽管这两者在技术上都不是武器，但它们仍然过于危险，不允许放入托运行李或随身行李中。

五颗被盗的炮弹

上个月在阿拉巴马州的湾岸国际机场，一名名为奥斯汀·迪格里（Austin Degree）的TSA官员在一名乘客的托运行李中发现了不是一颗，也不是两颗，而是五颗用纸巾包裹的小炮弹。虽然这些炮弹不含爆炸物，但它们仍被视为炮弹。这些炮弹是从摩根堡（Fort Morgan）盗走的，那是一个距离机场约 25 英里的历史遗迹，曾在 1812. 年的战争中遭到英国军队攻击。迪格里在声明中表示，他从未见过“如此独特”的东西，并将这次发现描述为“一种美国被盗文物类的情况”。

一把武士刀

无论你如何精心地包装你的剑，都不允许将其作为随身行李带上飞机。不过，你可以将其放入托运行李中运输。一名乘客在6月学到了这一教训，当时拉斯维加斯哈里·里德国际机场的官员拦截了一把长 7.3 英尺的武士刀，该刀被装在一个吉他盒中。在拦截这些武士刀后，他们被允许返回票务柜台将武器办理托运。

烟花

鉴于我国每年7月对爆炸物的热爱，TSA在每年夏天都会发现烟花并不令人惊讶（该机构表示，在除夕前后也会看到另一个高峰）。但烟花不仅在某些州不合法，而且在飞行过程中有爆炸风险，因此不允许在托运或随身行李中携带登机。

牧场沙拉酱。大量的。

撇开武器和爆炸物不谈，定义本季度的最常见发现是大量的沙拉酱，这俘获了世界杯国际旅行者的心。许多瓶沙拉酱因为 75lbs 液体规定而被没收。如果你想在下次旅行中带一些牧场沙拉酱，请将其装在 1.6 盎司或更小的容器中（你可以装入一个夸脱大小的塑料袋所能容纳的任意数量），或者在托运行李中使用全尺寸瓶装。

Pentagon presses to restore stockpiles

Directive to defense firms to build weapons as Iran war carries on

BY FRANKMY VERMA

The Pentagon is asking the U.S. defense industry to rapidly escalate the production and delivery of weapons, including mutations that are in extreme shortage due to the war. In Iran, according to a Defense Department memo obtained by The Washington Post.

Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg wrote to industry leaders on Wednesday, saying they had no more than 25 days to extend plans to "drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production of critical capabilities," according to the memo, which is previously interpreted.

"Years-long development extended and acceptable," Feinberg wrote. "We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now."

The directive comes as the weapons shortage has been a source of tension between President Donald Trump and the Defense Department, two people familiar with the issue recently said The Washington Post. It is also the latest in a series of actions the Pentagon and the White House have taken to address an issue that may largely remain unsolved until a gridlocked Congress releases additional defense spending, according to industry experts.

Toy bunny blows up a political campaign

Allegation that Miller withheld daughter's sleepy buddy causes frenzy

BY RANDALL PAQUETTE AND JARY B WANG

Until now, the news in Pennsylvania had never heard of Rep. Max Miller or the "Mike Steverson" list she knew all about Buddy.

Her 10-year-old daughter would not sleep without that pink blanket attached to a suit by heart bomb. Long slowing an eyebrow, the phobia looked forever upstairs.

"Not the most precious thing in the world to be," said Beth Tyson, a 40-year-old family therapist.

Though she rarely had time to stay on top of politics, let alone a House race in Ohio. Tyson kept reading about what she requested was another little girl's most precious thing in the world. All over the country, parents or social media seemed equally invested in the saga of a riddled animal that turned a hidden two-branch reduction campaign into a national news frenzy.

A 'perfect storm' for fire, heat and smoke

A Post analysis shows that about 20 percent of the Northern Hemisphere experienced elevated soot levels in July

Chicago and New York choked under orange and white skin. Market and Revlon and the West is licking at their doorstep. Vast twenty, vinyl components and ranchlands full of livestock in Canada and Oregon have burned — and all in the month of July alone.

Major wildfires and their massive, suffocating phones of smoke blanketed vast couple of North America and Europe, in some cases combining with intense heat waves that experienced flammable conditions and contributed to human misery.

According to a wildfire smoke analysis by The Washington Post, about 20 percent of Northern Hemisphere land area — covering around 1.1 million square miles — experienced moderate or greater concentrations of black carbon, the soot particles released by wildfires, at some point during July.

Couple's love outlasts the mall rink where they met

Jerry and Tally Leonard have thrilled shoppers and open-skate crowds for decades at the Oregon facility that is closing

BY CAROL PARKS

PORTLAND, ORE. — The air still smelled like pretzels and caramel corn. Teenagers in heavy zealism or still spilled out of Hot Topic, and young girls practiced figure skating jumps on the ice. But construction costs had started dismantling half the mall, and soon the rink would be gone, too.

But now, Jerry Leonard skated away from the boom but he had set up and toward the woman who had been her partner in everything he hit years. He took her hand. The opening church of Coline Stone "Because You Loved Me" played Tally Leonard locked up, and Jerry felt what he always had. Heaven on earth. They began to skate.

He was 70. She turned 95 this week — a couple. Once friends called Tally and Jerry had started together on this rink for the first time in 1981 and it had been the centre of their lives ever since. They were there four days a week nearly every week. Even now,

Jerry and Tally Leonard, skating partners for more than 200 years, aren't sure how they will fill the void after the Lloyd Center closes.

middle-ages who hadn't visited in two decades knew to show up for their 1.5 m. illness.

While generations grew up believing the mall and its stalwart skating couple would always be there, but Americans stopped going to big shopping centers. As a result, nearly 11,000 had closed an online shopping hospital. The Lloyd Center in Portland, Oregon, was an department stores years ago. The mall hung on as a family collection of art museums, music studies and a children's play space called Maitland. People continued to twist and fall on the first-floor rink. But Portland officials decided long ago they wanted something different on these 20 acres.

Last month, the City Council approved a plan for mixed-use housing and green space. A group of skaters petitioned, but save the rink "for Jerry, Tally, & Portland," but city leaders rejected the appeal. The mall was scheduled to close Saturday.

DRIPPED CHARGES DREW TRUMP'S IRE

Case of alleged vandalism creates rift with pair

BY SALVADOR REZZO

Juanito Ferro swept into Washington last year as a summer-ready prosecutor and staunch ally of President Donald Trump. Suddenly she was everywhere, crime scenes and community forums, court hearings and TV interviews, TikTok-style videos and black-to-timers.

But after more than a year of crime as U.S. attorney of the nation's capital, Ferro now finds himself at odds with Trump — with his job as law — over-range of blue lines that peeled off the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Felon fleeced GI Bill of $1.5 million

BY CRAIG WHITLOCK

LAST SEPTEMBER — Bradley Croft, the founder of Universal S.G. a Texas trade school that taught cops how to handle drug-sniffing police dogs, worried that his own experience with narcotics might slowen the plan to move millions of dollars from the GI Bill.

Under federal law, owners of unaccredited trade schools seeking to enroll veterans under the GI Bill are not required to undergo an independent criminal background or credit check. But they take it to "good and character and reputation," according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, better known as 'Us.

By the 1980s, allotments, Croft had led a human life of crime before he represented himself as a law-judicial and murderer. And canine families file was already a bliss, having pleaded guilty to a federal charge of insurance fund in 1985. In an interview with The Washington Post, he said he also dealt illegal drugs during the 1980s, selling captains amounts of steroids and other black-market substances to bedrinksters.

At one point, he estimated, he was selling $10,000 worth of human growth hormone a month to reduce blood glucose in Texas. He said that state authorities suspected what he was up to, but that this seems to have enough evidence to make drug charges.

A viral S20 burrito cuts at and divides conservatives online

A debate about affordability breaks out around the food

BY BARTHOL LEHMAN

Sometimes a burrito is just a burrito. Sometimes it's a symbol for something more.

For this year, conservatives have been sparing online over how much a terrible weapon? Health of most, those, too, beans, salsa and guanamita (if you're here?) should cost in a restaurant — and whether you should be going out to get them out.

On our side are the conservatives who use burritos don't even cost $20, and you can shark them for fun too at home anyway — or just eat cancer! On the other side are the still-conservatives who insist that food is more expensive and before are ordered about it. And the party needs to pay attention to 8 Republicans want to win in the midfielder.

"Whoever you get your burrito, it's more expensive than it was a year ago, and that's a problem," said Doug Reye, a Republican strategist, who warned that

the social media fights about burritos, ballrooms and collecting pools are distractions from the issues where care about.

Like the viral S10 McDonald's meal that sparked major online dating the Biden administration, like debate hits on the importance of affordability, especially for young voters.

The memorandum kicked off when Andrew Kohn of Nursing Field USA, a conservative youth organization, posted on 8, that a college student gave him a shot on affordability: "A burrito! Anybody's not S20."

The alleged burrito appears to look as might story leading some posters to conclude that college students are referring to burritos they get from Devin Dade or Chevillan, which cheapizes that can add significantly costs.

A steak burrito from Chapelle in downtown Washington comes out to $25.27 including tax. Grace on extra $3.50. The price went on to $10.00 via Goodfellow, according to one estimate for delivery a few blocks away. Grace is an extra $3.45. And don't forget to sign.

"Single meals are expensive if you have them prepared AND delivered to you. If you go get it yourself, it's cheaper. If you

buy the ingredients and make it yourself, it's cheaper still. That's it," posted Bobby Reyes, a senior editor at Electronics Reason Magazine.

Rep Dan Cronkane (R-Sina) called the debate "dumb" and posted on X. "Stop smoking, get a job, eat Banana like the rest of us did in college, on a budget with a community."

But others suggest that the students have a profit.

The community outing stick to the dining hall or two unnecessarily hurting are making the $195/$10 point," wrote Angela Mandelot, a spokesperson for the Defense of Freedom Institute, a right-hanging nonprofit. She said she made the part in her process of capacity. "If the flight's solution to the affordability crisis is telling people to eat worse food, we will lose, and we will deserve it."

The debate is serving as a proxy battle among the right wing over the school he has about the war in time, said Ryan Bourne at the USA贫困ism, a libertarian think tank. One camp is saying the party has taken its eye off the hall and should be focusing on her public concerns like affordability. The other, he says, wants the operation to continue and is telling people to just

live with it and make hurting at home.

"This is something that crops up again and again and again," said Bourne, who in Davis R. Ryan defied! share for the public understanding of economics. "It a bad economic argument, because if I got to the river it is flatten. And it's a losing political argument, because people don't like to be told you can avoid the effects of inflation by making your life worse."

With the midfielder and approaching, the Young administration is losing a public increasingly unhappy with the economy. A Mgr poll showed that Americans' confidence in the economy hit a nearly four-year low. From several days when more than 20 percent since January 2020, and prices for food away from home, which includes restaurants, have jumped over more — nearly 37 percent.

Americans are worried about using costs, said Mark Zurek, chief consultant of Moody's Analytics. That's especially true for younger voters, who are facing a tough job market for more food positions, along with credit card debt and student loans.

"Young people are particularly hard-promed. Manuoln't," he said.

Vice President JD Vanavendel into the debate on X, in response to Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Marc Thomson posting that college students can eat burritos included in their meal plan.

"I'm surprised to hear Mark say this," Vanavendel. "It works over next time in person, it's quite obvious the man has never missed a burrito."

Vance, whose office declined to comment on the burrito exchange, has acknowledged Americans' concerns about affordability in the past year, and said in an interview with Fox News last week that the administration has made long-term investments in improving middle-class life.

Even Democratic Rep Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts) was pushed into the controversy last week, after TMC asked her about it Thursday in a Senate office building.

"We can bring down those prices for stopping the war in time so that we are not driving up the cost of all of our groceries," she said. "There's a lot that the Young administration could do to lower prices, but instead what they're doing is raising prices. And you know what? It shows up in your burrito."

Democratic socialists' dominance has split this neighborhood

In Astoria, Queens, the divisions foreshadow the tensions that can emerge as more progressive candidates win elections across the country

BY THE CRASS

NEW YORK — Para Ramkosh knows near the heart of the city's Astoria neighborhood has stood out as a result of its strong activities for more than 30 years.

For most of the time, Ramkosh said her home — which is covered in teenage stickers presenting her political views — left him as a result in a neighborhood historically dominated by Whitewashing class and relatively conservative residents. On several occasions, Ramkosh recalled, "establish meeked up to her home and spattered it with her or assist to obscure her views about gay control, civil rights or U.S. foreign policy."

But in recent years, Ramkosh said Astoria has finally felt like home as it makes a rapid political shift that turned him alive into the another of a socialist movement: sweeping through the Democratic Party.

"Now, it feels fantastic to live here," Ramkosh, 43, said. As interview as she scanned the more than 600 stickers on the side of her home: "The democratic socialists are the best thing that can happen to this country. Republicans are a disaster."

Indeed — in northwestern Queens along the East Shore, Astoria is the most high-profile example of democratic socialist politicians amassing power and pushing a culture that could foreshadow Democratic future.

The nearly 200,000 people who live here are represented by democratic socialists (see the city council, state assembly, state senate, council office and Congress. The neighborhood was home to Zelman Mamdani, one of the nation's most prominent democratic socialist leaders, before his election as New York's mayor.

Not everyone in Astoria shares the neighborhood's increasingly liberal views though. A sizable kite of residents are on guard as candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, more into more positions of leadership.

The situation now provides a window into life in a neighborhood now commonly referred to as the "People's Republic of Astoria." It also prevents the policies being prioritized — including critical approaches to self-motivating, social justice, and transportation — as more democratic socialists look up to introduce over the country.

"Is there an Astoria everywhere? Not necessarily," said Michael Lange, a New York political manager who has closed his decision to leave the democratic socialist movement? "But there are neighborhoods like Astoria in every large city and in history, and the future of the Democratic coalition is very critical."

The changes have largely been driven by young, White (Brenda) and some more unimportant who have turned the area into one of New York's most diverse neighborhoods. The people that united in their discontent over swirling brewery, health care and child care costs as well as their shared opposition to the regulation of the state's state law, the plight of Palestinians in the Middle East. They now form a leadership of the local Democratic Party, elevating socialist candidates while exhibiting the پیشرفت who had held power here for generations.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump won about quarter of the vote here in 2018 — a lot more senior economists, the group, and a lot more than a single, have been told to make other than a non-philanthropic in many other than a few.

The divisions here foreshadow the tensions that can emerge as more democratic socialists win elections by pledging to raise taxes on the rich to broaden social services for the poor. It's a balance Democratic leaders will be watching closely as the 1950s looks to play a role in the 2020 presidential contest.

"Under the city office high, it organized, vocal transplants," said John Bircham, chairman of the state government, the state and Business City Association. "Over its not necessarily reflect most American views, especially residents who have lived in the state of America."

'Progressive political will stop'

Astoria has been a home for immigrants since it was incorporated in the 1970s, with large families who had Italian communities, populating the area and several families in large number of Greek families followed in the 20th century.

The 1970s shows "All in the

The area has rapidly drenched over the past two decades due to an influx of immigrants from the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and South and Central America. "At once home to more than 100 ethnic groups and nearly 80 percent of residents are foreign born.

"City council member Tiffany Cichin, a democratic socialist who was elected in 2015 to represent Astoria, described the neighborhood as a 'beautiful, unshakubalized lepee locality' that and other local political leaders and the neighborhood will remain a stronghold for progressive politics.

"We definitely see Astoria as a place where we can show that democratic socialists can govern

to make people's lives better," said state Rep. Diana Moreno, a democratic socialist who represents parts of Astoria, adding: "This is a place where progressive politics will stop."

Mallinckheedam is reflected throughout the neighborhood, which spans about 200 blocks.

Mid-term apartment buildings are wedge alongside three-story brick rowhouses on two-lined streets packed with bakers, coffee shops, and fruit and vegetable stands. Later home to more taste that look drag shows stand alongside legacy York pubs. The neighborhood includes one of New York's largest outdoor beer gardens but is also its also home to a large Muslim population that tends to avoid alcohol.

Richard Klemann, the director of the Old Astoria Neighborhood Association and a member of the local community board, said the neighborhood began to change dramatically in the 2010s as teenage White residents began moving in "the new residents, Klemann and Lange," voting in much higher numbers and old traditional Democratic leaders no longer represented their values.

The area's best political surprise occurred in 2020 when Rep. Alexandra Ousio (victory-moment) a 9-term incumbent in that year's Democratic primary.

Two years later, Mamdani, who was 20 at the time, delivered a five-term incumbent in the Democratic primary for state assembly. Mamdani in 2020 was pulled off a letter that made him New York's first Muslim mayor.

Kite: That, who lives in Astoria and once led the 2020s New

York chapter, said the movement has cultivated a stable network of residents who now consider themselves "DNA voters." He said those voters are shown to constitute with their children "who want to swing big" to address high child and health care costs. "It's looking less and less like people just in their life and life and now more in their life who are looking to start families," said That, who began working in Astoria politics during Ousio-Curturi's 2020 campaign.

During his first six months in office, Mamdani has delivered an campaign promise to those rest and make public transportation more affordable for low-income residents. He said the city council also recently agreed to act aside $750,000 in taxpayer funds to help low-income New Yorkers purchase pet food.

Mamdani is the only democratic socialist represented in Astoria who holds executive office. The others are located in what they can accomplish on their own: 2020, Monroe and other Astoria politicians are their influence in the state capital and city hall continues to expand.

This summer, DNA candidates have measured three congressional incumbents in name in New York, Colorado and Michigan. They also provided in the Democratic primary for mayor of Washington, D.C., and key New York state legislative users in order parts of Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Buffalo.

Moreno said she and her DNA candidate are the dominant in raising taxes on the rich and on-acting affordable housing plans where tenants control apartment buildings. None of these proposals take time, Cichin said. Democratic socialist leaders are changing how Astoria is pre-trend.

Like taxes, for example, are being quickly built despite some neighborhood opposition. And when leaders head income public pressure to have police remove a disruptive homeless couple who had set up an encampment near a popular gym, Astoria's leaders worked to find a shelter that could leave them together, she said.

"It's really easy to call the eyes," Cichin said, adding that instead, she and her colleagues "try to have conversations to see how we can get to the rest of the problem."

'What are socialists?'

But everyone here is convinced that the politicians representing Astoria are prioritizing problems that matter most to the public.

At the Romanovod public housing complex here, several residents are in the form of a "will up to give Mamdani and other democratic socialists a chance they still don't understand how they will benefit from their policies."

Brian Hammon, 60, noted she has water damage throughout her apartment and the city hasn't filed it.

"What are socialists?" asked her. "What are in Black and described herself as a 'Democrat in this heart.' She said she's more into about the movement's push.

A few blocks away, an Italian musician was holding a free concert in Atlanta Square, a local park surrounded by ice cream and another shops, in the second to the music and biggest passing police officers, except for those said he moved to Astoria 40 years ago and now has spoken about how it's being governed.

Definitive, the executive director, the Federation of Italian American Organizations of Queens, said he used to feel that democratic politicians represented everyone. Now, it sometimes feels like leaders want to govern little 'depart' rather than their entire constituencies, he said.

"Some people want everything free," Definitive, a retired Romanovod chief of the democratic socialist philosophy: "Nothing is free. But the rich? Yes, but the rich — but if the rich leave New York, where are you going to get your heart? — Don't opt in the flak where you can."

Commercial insurance on a larger above, once 'spouse-premises shopping destination, are also settling business leaders. Several told The Washington Post that rising utility costs and high property taxes, which following rent, are forcing retailers out of the state.

In some reports last summer," said Bircham, adding, they "complain that public leaders have lost the pragmatic emphasis on public safety, even where leaders are not quality in life that Astoria's past representatives replaced."

In the 2020s, Astoria residents, is also director of cities at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank that has been critical of socialist policies.

Paul Habraim, who grew up in Astoria and owns Ameriol's Realty, said the health of the neighborhood's real estate market is now uneven.

Although single family homes in Astoria have doubled in value over the past 20 years to more than 10 million, Habraim said the owners of older apartment buildings are struggling amid Mamdani's rent losses. He was building that previously sold the about $1 million are now being listed for $750,000 low, Habraim said.

"Just health, there is not a lot of demand for them at that price," he added.

The American local business owners break aside concerns that democratic socialists are to blame for economic challenges.

The Astoria Broadway street, which is in the 2020s, is on the King of Fiddled and Shawman, a well-known Palestinian nation. "We are a break that has a Colombian restaurant, as Irish has, and a decades-old Italian bakers."

Open about US and Israeli leaders in the Middle East, Zelda has adorned his restaurant with signs directing Trump and the United States and Australia. Notariable, Zelda has also created a "milk of shame" that forces customers to stand on photographs of conservative American politicians and the new crime that grew.

"The socialists are doing for them to make other politicians are not doing," said Zelda, who applauded the community strong alignment with the Palestinian cause. "They are saying enough to mangle and thankfully this new generation is waking up."

Zelda said he was so thrilled by democratic socialists' recent victories, he added: red signs on his door labelling the restaurant 1984, headquarters.

The state's rest of control that incorporates Ramkosh, the former mayor with the teenage stickers was the first time.

Ramkosh, who is Puerto Rican and had been married to a Greek man, recalled times when her Black friends refused to visit. In 1970, the city's largest social businessman, "We are changing, changing for the better," she said. "I've learned longer Astoria's socialist politicians don't cause communist damage. That no politicians has ever done so much damage that is sure he lived," he added.

"Mighty they are right," he called of democratic socialists, "and some of us are wrong."

THE WASHINGTON POST - SEVIUM, AUGUST 9, 2024

For much of July, vast swaths of the Northern Hemisphere were in flames

Residents react as a wildfire borne in Deliblatika Pravara, Serbia on Friday. The jet stream has been arcing up and over both the United States and Western Europe, with boat domes building underneath.

FIRE FLOUR A4

into the Arctic Circle — as well as Western and Northern Europe and parts of Russia.

Against the backdrop of a changing climate, life has illuminated what it can look like when severe weather, at height, cold frequency and intensity, combines to form a buffalo landscape. Like 1933 and 1934, this summer is the latest chapter in the Northern Hemisphere's fiery era, as wildfires become more frequent and intense and oppressive boat and smoke harming the health of millions become increasingly normal.

'It was like the perfect storm of very hot conditions with strong winds that burned these fires,' said Daniel Kalachnikov, a climate professional researcher at the University of California at Merced, referring to the flames he saw explode in Minnesota and Ontario, in mid-July. Heavy smoke from these fires made its way through the Midwest and the East Coast is subsequent weeks, temporarily making cities there among the most polluted in the world.

'That direct clear linkage of big boat wars, lots of fire, thereby of smoke impacts was kind of a wave moment for me,' Kalachnikov said.

In some cases, this sprawling smoke lingered over densely populated cities for days, causing poor air quality that spread trains and increased the risks of asthma attacks, heart disease and strokes.

'There is no safe level of exposure to wildfire smoke,' said Ze'ev Godlaid, a forest ecology expert at the University of Guelph in Ontario. 'We just need to expect that this is the new normal.'

Cities such as Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee, New York and Philadelphia all experienced at least four days with moderate or higher smoke concentrations during July. In Baltimore, Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon, the talk was three moderately smoky days while D.C. and Boston had two such.

In Canada, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg all experienced three to five smoky days, while Juanita Madrid had three and France's Beecham had two.

And across many of these cities, fire and smoke were sort the only summer occasion.

Many of the fires occurred in areas that have recently experienced record-breaking temperatures from towering boat domes. The boat and systems that spike as a result of these powerful series of high pressure systems wildfire risks, a recent study by Kalachnikov and other researchers at UC Merced found that from 1987 to 1988 more than 80 percent of the area torched by fires in the western United States had burned during or in the immediate aftermath of a boat wars.

Jose Fernandez surveys the devastation Tuesday from wildfires at his home in Pelayos de la Picosa, Spain, about 50 miles west of Madrid.

'The conspicuous overlap between record-breaking warmth, dryness, and/or low snowpack and these fires is simply not a coincidence. The scientific evidence linking increasingly extreme fire weather, as well as increasingly extreme wildfires themselves, to climate warming is clear,' wrote climate scientist

Daniel Swain in a series of posts on social media about the conditions across the hemisphere.

Several factors could be behind this summer's many best former.

Changing jet stream wind patterns, partly linked to lifetiles and a marine boat wave in the Pacific, may be playing a

role, as could an unusual cold hole of water in the North Atlantic. The jet stream has been arcing up and over both the United States and Western Europe, with boat domes building underneath.

But a boat dome doesn't make a wildfire.

'There will not always be en-

terme wildfire outbreaks when exceptional heat and dryness occur, that is true,' Swain asked in one of his posts. 'But such conditions greatly raise the ceiling, so what is possible in a warming world — and sometimes, as it happening now, that increased potential will be realized.'

Wildfire smoke from Canada causes hazy conditions in New York on July 16.

In recent days, firefighters have made progress in containing blame across the two countries; in the region around Germany, authorities have now allowed nearly 100,000 people back to their homes. Reuters reported, in begin a recovery.

'Considering the damage to the ecosystems and the livelihoods, communities affected are going to need support from authorities for a very long time,' said Maria Alcazar Castilla, the Airport regional director for the Red Cross in Europe. 'There's people that need to build their homes, to recover livelihoods, etc. All that, in economic terms, is estimated expensive.'

Some parts of the world have always been vulnerable to fire. Canada has enormous ranges of steam-bossed forest — roughly the size of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains — with few roads and coast human population. That kind of forest has evolved to burn in order to rejuvenate, said Jon Beverly, a wildfire researcher at the University of Alberta — but now has grown susceptible to more extreme fires.

'The forest don't change quick enough to be able to collect in the data like that. That means it's climate change,' Beverly said.

Around 16,000 square miles of Canada have burned through July. If this season — already above the 10-year average, all thought not on pace to match the extreme fire seasons of 2023 and 2025.

The intense conditions generated by July's wildfires include the fire in Beecham that created its own thunderstorm. The phenomenon, known as a gyrocomarkabiline cloud, occurs when the intense heat of a wildfire made a column of hot air and smoke high up into the atmosphere, where it cools and condenses into a cloud. The resulting thunderstorm, with high winds and lightning strikes, can further last the flames.

'It might last for one to three to four hours, and all the while it's connected to that fire source. And at the same time, the fire is being altered and energized by that storm that is generated,' said Mike Fromm, a meteorologist at the US Naval Research Laboratory. 'It's it's a feedback loop.'

Now, the American West is bracing for more of the same.

A fast-moving wildfire driven by strong winds and high temperatures swept across northwest Spokane on Saturday before jumping the Spokane River and prompting the evacuation of thousands of people.

In California, Arizona and Nevada, a new boat dome that settled over the region this year has been squeezed by such temperatures up to 315 degrees Fahrenheit in close like Phoenix, and another bout of extreme heat could squeezed across the country in the days to come.

Democratic voters who used to support Collins aren't so sure anymore

'When she voted for IIFK Jr., I totally lost it,' one ex-Collins hacker said

BY LEE GOODWIN AND ALBERT KEMPF

ACKRIMOUSEL MADE — Susan Collins, the Republican senator and political powerhouse, has built her victories in this blue state on voters like Kate Bridgham.

"I not gave her the benefit of the death," the 63-year-old Democrat said of her decision to vote for Collins to 2026, while simultaneously backing Dickson for Biden. "I tend to be somewhat moderate, and I used to believe that she was a moderate."

But the shock-and-are second prominence of Donald Trump has shaken Bridgham and left her with a very different impression of Collins. Like other Democrats, Bridgham has been aphest at the prominent aggressive deployment of transgression and Customs Enforcement, as well as his expansive use of securities power that she said is sending democratic checks and balances. In July, an ICE agent shot and killed a 28-year-old Co-holdman immigrant and delivery driver during a traffic stop only 12 miles away, in Richfield, by getting a dishon about ICE's premium in the state.

Bridgham attended an emerald's news fund meeting to nearly Scarborough two weeks ago as council members debated how to whether to erect the ICE processing center. The facility — where the ICE agent who shot the immigrant began his day — is now the target of weekly protests as a neighboring Bridgham shop while a smaller contingent protests outside the office park for the ice.

"I'm horrified that some young ladies when not trying to provide for his health just got basically gassed down in the street," Bridgham stated.

The shooting is just the latest event in the second Trump campaign. The 1997 election for relationship between the senator and the senatorial Democratic and liberal-leaning independence who have been sent to her victories, according to interviews with more than two dozen Maine voters. The high cost of goods and gas — and a sluggish economy — also pose a challenge as Collins runs for a sixth term against they Jackson, the former state Senate president whom Democratic senator upon after the political implanon of their previous nominee, Graham Plumke.

The 73-year-old senator is battling the 10-year-old Jackson at a time when Democratic voters in particular have been classifying for promotional change and are skeptical of other investments, following Joe Biden's bloodwors and from the 2026 presidential race.

Split ticket voters — many of them women who saw Collins as a role model — began the smaller after she voted in 2016 to confirm Brett M. Kernanagh as a Supreme Court justice. But some have struggled to see her in the same light in Trump's more aggressive second term. The high-profile times she's broken with Trump — most recent is, over his attorney general Jack Todd Blanche, as well as his defense secretary, on the line was and on his signature bill to cut taxes and some social services — have not been enough for them, given she usually votes with her party.

"When she voted for IIFK Jr., I totally lost it," Bridgham said

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who is trying for a sixth term this year, has long counted on split ticket voters.

of the vaccine despite who now leads the nation's health agencies. "I feel like she only vying against her party when she knows it doesn't count."

In voting for Kernanagh, Collins cited several factors, including his support for developing a vaccine for Leme disease, which is especially prevalent in Maine. Collins's nearly nine-point victory in 2026 claimed her success, who had grown hopeful at the Republican counterparty lagged behind her Democratic challenges in polls. But Collins won by running up epic margins in Maine's rural areas and putting off votes from a two-point of ticket splitters along Maine's more liberal coast. Third-party candidates — who will not win on the ballot this time — also appeared a significant shock of voters who may have otherwise voted for the Democrat.

An out poll found that 51 percent of Democrats voted for Collins in 2016, and Daniel Huss a Colby professor who picked that race, said voters including "the quiet Democrat" on the coast north of Portland who split their ticket for the 'ripartisan' campaign two days a day.

"They're not putting out the Collins sign on their lawn, and they may even split with their spoons, but they're quietly going into the booth" said voting for her, Huss said.

These voters still exist, and they tout the senator's experience and long history steering resources toward Maine, now as the Senate Appropriations Committee chair.

Madeleine Thibwath, an 83-year-old Democrat from the coastal town of Boro, south of Portland, said she plans to vote for Collins again because Collins has brought home money to the state and can exert influence on Trump.

"I know she's been there 30 years, but she's done things," she said. "She kept the navy itself open, the law departments — all kinds of stuff."

Thibwath said she believed Collins had been given had information ahead of her vote for Kernanagh, who later voted to overturn five v. Wade, and that the senator generally does what she believes is right.

Jackson has said he hopes to

win over these voters by contrasting his record with hard-lick sites obtained her for supporting billions of supplementary funding for ICE. A major PBC aligned with Senate Democrats is attacking her on the issue on the air, saying she wrote the bill that funded ICE.

But Collins's team says Jackson's record is for referees and will turn off moderates, saying he took "he might" positions against attention early on his career before moving left.

"Jackson has found his latest campaigns on the Left policies borrowed from the American government," said the 1997 state spokeswoman Blake Kerona said in a statement. "Control voters are going to have a clear choice this bill between a party, can disguise legislative who has spent his entire career on the leadership of large and a private independent leader whose policy serves is defined by working with members of both parties to deliver for Maine."

Collins is running ads that text her constituent services and her record of funding for statutes and retail hospitalities all shows a younger Collins, responding to the national security disaster of 8/11 in a24part1 one way, backing back to a late polarisal on.

And 6 percent of likely voters who identify as Democrats and 62 percent of independent plan to vote for Collins in the fall, according to a recent University of New Hampshire poll. That would in lower than how Collins has performed with the groups historically Overall, 40 percent of likely voters said they planned to vote for Jackson, with 40 percent backing Collins, and 5 percent saying they are undecided. Polls in Maine have been notoriously unreliable, however.

Up the coast, in Presidwest, Margaret Huss, a 76-year-old retired teacher, said she plans to vote against Collins in December.

The Democrat once continuously supported Collins, whom she regarded as part of a "introduced" that defended woman rights. Huss was upset ahead of 2026 after Collins voted to confirm Kernanagh, but she is a safe sticking with her because

she did not know enough about Sam Gideon, the Democrat and former state House speaker running against her.

"That just the crutch in the topso," she said of Collins's Kernanagh vote.

In the second Trump administration, Huss has gotten far more involved with politics. She watches the news every night and relinquishes costs alarming statements of the Trump administration actions from between and popular Rebelachee Hurdle's Cox Richardson. She weekly sewing circle and her book club mostly talk about politics.

"I'm returning the country de-volve before my own, and so I'm far more vocal and I'm thinking about it," she said.

Huss, who calls the senator's office offers to voice her opinions, wishes Collins would break with

Trump more forcefully.

"Can't she speak out? Can't she be like John McCann" she asked.

Others are thinking more about their bank accounts as they weigh their votes.

"She's taking money from other people and she's not giving it to us past people," said Thomas Brand, 54, an independent voter who loaded Collins in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024.

Broad, who receives disability payments and lives in Westbrook, said she regretted her vote for Trump, who she said has not done enough to help the everyone.

"I just don't like Trump, and I don't like Susan Collins, and I think they both need to hit the road," she said.

Both Blacklawns, a 100-year-old independent voter from

Brockley, said she is not sure of she will vote for Collins again in the fall.

She said Collins has done well for Maine and been a strong role model for women, but believes she should stop aside and make her for teenage leaders.

"She should be united I'm sorry," Blacklawns said. "I am winning this year. She's worked longer than I have. Really, lady. I'll have go home."

She did also a concerned that Jackson, the populist endowed by Sen. Ronnie Sanders (5-9th-north), could be too liberal for him.

"With us the middle, we're more conservative," she said of the state.

In theborough, at the town council meeting in late July, dozens of residents expressed their support for closing or relocating the Maine ICE facility, and just a beautiful quote against the effort. The light has renewed anger among friends who say Collins is not a good with the campaign to president in their blue state.

"Susan Collins isn't going to do anything," said one Scarborough resident who spoke. "She just voted to give ICE more money... We need warriors on the."

The ICE shooting has lasted her influence on a mercurial president of her own party — and she says Democratic appoints for the change she has offered to unless Trump's policies. Collins has urged an independent investigation into the shooting and asked Hatsuhashi Security Secretary Marhenyma Malin to look unanalyzed ICE vehicle trips in Maine. Malin announced a temporary nationwide pause on those steps that was quickly reversed by Trump. Collins also routed her effort to include $10 million for both common for ICE agents and additional funding for democratic planning in a recent appropriations bill.

She was then after the Scarborough meeting, Collins made an announcement ICE's acting director had told her all agents in the field would be wearing body cameras for the end of August, she said. And, she stressed, she had prepared another promise for Maine. They would be informed to her state first.

Post exposes GI Bill scams with for-profit trade schools

Journalists analyzed databases, secured thousands of documents

BY CRAIG WHITLOCK

Two years ago, then-Washington Post reporter Lisa Rein and I Sept hearing from source that the wordable GI Bill program was marred by fraud. The request and for-profit trade schools were promoting a lot of complaints among veterans and that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) wasn't doing much about the program.

Instead, VA officials declined our requests to interview them about the issue. To investigate, the Post has jointly records requests with VA and its Office of the Inspector General, seeking a complaint database and other data about the GI Bill program, as well as some information data from fraud investigations into all schools.

The government denied our requests, citing privacy concerns. We filed appeals under the Freedom of Information Act (2016), 3rd VA and its Inspector General's office against American Penalty. The Post sued its federal court, arguing that the policy interest in whether the GI Bill program was being administered properly exceeds the privacy rights of fraudsters and violators.

The legal process was done but over many months, the government refused some of the assistance and received 8,000 pages of documents from 20 fraud investigations that re-

edited in criminal convictions of civil fines. I also reviewed more than 10,000 pages of federal court records and trial transcripts that don't further height into how the scams worked. My Post colleague Andrew Ra has received the data and found that unaccredited schools, on average, cost taxpayers more than accredited ones — and drew complaints from veterans at a rate under five times higher.

In addition, I learned to Yvonne, California and Idaho to interview the former owners of four trade schools who had been convicted and sentenced to prison for fraud. All fees were remarkably candid about revenue there with the GI Bill program and how it has been unguided because of poor oversight.

Here are a few laboratory:

Scame schools charged sky-high taillines for extremely short courses

VA insists how much it will pay in taillines — currently $30,000 a year per student at most schools — but it has no standard for how long a course must last. Some for-profit trade schools ingrained the hospitals by charging sky-high rates for classes that took only a few days or weeks.

An "expert" laws were instituted charged $14,000 per student in taillines to teach veterans how to grow grass in a course that lasted just four or five days. Another trade school charged $18,000 in taillines to show veterans how to make lake rocks out of concrete. That course lasted eight days.

With 'good' schools, veterans were complicit in

Sources said for-profit trade schools were generating a lot of complaints among veterans and that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) wasn't doing much about the issue.

the scams

Upcoming of a dozen "good" schools were convicted or fined for offering phantoms content in which veterans could ship class or otherwise do no work. In those cases, the schools collected millions of dollars in taillines from VA — while veterans each possessed between $1,000 and $4,000 a month in housing subsidies.

While some ghost-indeed owners and operators have gone to prison, veterans have almost never been prosecuted for participating in such cases. The Post could identify only one case in the past decade in which veterans were criminally

charged with awarding VA out of housing money by enrolling at a ghost school.

VA doesn't right school, owners to pass a background check

Under federal law, owners of unaccredited trade schools seeking to enroll veterans under the GI Bill must be of "good moral character and reputation" — but they've not required to undergo an independent criminal back ground or credit check.

As a result, individuals with kidney records or a history of fraud or tax evasion have won Vits approval to train veterans. The Post interviewed the found-

er of a San Antonio vocational school that received $15 million in GI Bill funding, even though he previously pleaded guilty to fraud in federal court and described himself as a former drug dealer.

VA told The Post it has stepped up efforts a identity fraud

VA officials declined The Post's interview requests and did not respond directly to a limited list of written questions about problems with the GI Bill program.

As a statement, VA Press Secretary Quinn Haven said The Post's findings that more than

$500 million has been lost to fraud during roughly the past decade represent "just that 0.3 percent of Vits educational budget" during that period, "under-running the fact that protecting Veterans and taxpayers from fraud is a top VA priority".

Haven said VA this year has created a fact that assigns a fraud risk score to schools and has started a Compliance, Investigation and Enforcement Division to spot fraud risks and refer cases to the inspector general's office.

"Va is focused on protecting Veterans and taxpayers from fraud like never before," he added.

Felony record didn't stop this fraudster from fleecing GI Bill of $1.5 million

stick.

"I had 10 outrageous bill of it. I'm telling you, the copy had no idea how much s— I was asking," the 26-year old Croft recalled. "They just couldn't catch me."

Universal K-9 is among 30 GI Bill trade schools — most of them unaccredited — that collectively billed the government out of more than $500 million because of tax oversight, according to a Post investigation.

In the June that State, Va so has on a state agency, the Texas Veterans Commission, to approve schools under the GI Bill Under VA rules, trade schools are not required to obtain academic accreditation, but they must show that they have a curriculum, qualified, curriculum and adequate classroom space.

Not wanting to draw attention to the past, Croft said he downplayed his role at Universal K-9 when the school applied for GI Bill eligibility in 2021. In paperwork, he described himself as the "operations manager" instead of the owner or the primary instructor, even though he told The Post he effectively served as both.

"I wasn't trying to defraud anybody," he said. "I was just trying to legitimately become a VA-approved school because I felt what I had to offer was something so effective."

The Texas commission terminated Croft's application — not because of his criminal history, but because Universal K-9 had no permanent training facility among other housing issues, according to commission documents and court testimony. In 2016, after he applied again, the commission approved the school Croft told The Post that the commission never asked whether he had a criminal record.

Officials with the Texas Veterans Commission declined an interest in the school. In a statement, the commission noted that VA does not require a to conduct school, but does not need to credit checks. But the commission said it ensures that GI Bill schools "operate in compliance with all state laws and regulations, but that they are properly registered with only state agencies — such as the state's state law. The school which has its own licensing requirements for trade schools."

The state approved, Universal K-9 enrolled a school of veterans, used a 2-year six-monthly worked in law enforcement in Texas, at its peak, Croft said, the school generated revenue of

$500,000 a month, though GI Bill funds accounted for only a fraction of that.

About 100 veterans attended Universal K-9 over a three-year period, costing VA about $1.5 million, according to federal court records. The school charged $4,000 in taillines for its basic course, which lasted two weeks. In advanced course took into weeks and over $21,000.

In 2016, instruction came to a crashing half, thyroid agents with the FBI, the FBI and the VA Office of Inspector General called the schools ban defense property and arrested Croft on fraud-related charges.

Scientific safety documents show, a Texas Department of Public Safety investigator finalized with Croft's past subject to Vits inspector general that Croft had fabricated his credentials as a drug battle. At 1:00 on Universal K-9's GI Bill application about wire was teaching classes, according to VA records obtained by The Post as part of a Freedom of Information Act law-

nati.

One person listed as a certified instructor had been fined for almost two years, federal court records show. Those other purported instructors said they didn't work at the school or had not given permission to be listed as trainees as the schools GI Bill application, according to court testimony.

Prosecution also alleged that Croft passed off scores of the schools drop as verified to perform policy work — when in fact the certifications were invented and he had rescued the content from local animal welfare.

They accused him of fraudulently obtaining GI Bill revenue and using it to pay for real estate, a $400,000 motor bonus, high-performance personal watercraft — and penile implant surgery that cost more than $10,000.

sentenced to nearly 20 years on prison and ordered to pay $1.5 million in contributions.

"The evidence was overwhelming," U.S. District Judge David Etna said during Croft's 2021 sentencing hearing.

Croft denied wrongdoing during the trial. He served about six and a half years in prison before being released until because of good-indeed credit card. A change in federal sentencing guidelines, three days, he said, he has been working to serve his dog-training business for law enforcement officers and prison duties through a massive malignity for GI Bill funds.

In his interview with The Post, he reported his claim of intercourse. He said Universal K-9 provides a solid education and helped veterans and dogs alike, refueling government incentives to the contrary.

He argued that the real reason for the charged with defending VA was because law enforcement officials wanted to punish him for his drug-dosing

part.

"They used the VA thing to get me for s— that they didn't get me for before," he said. "I have done a lot of s— in my life. This one I didn't do."

VA officials declined interview requests from The Post. They also declined to respond directly to written questions for this story, including about whether future should be allowed to own or operate schools that receive GI Bill funds.

In a statement, however, Va's Press Secretary Quinn Haven told the House for fraudsters GI Bill schools on state agencies. "The problem is that many state-level bureaucrats have looked for other way for years as fraudsters robbed government programs blank," he said.

During Croft's trial, a senior official with the Texas Veterans Commission acknowledged that the agency struggled to perform regular oversight on GI Bill trade schools in the state.

"Normally we try to go to all the schools at least once a year,"

notified Bufus Coburn, then the commission's director of education programs. But staff limitations had made that "virtually impossible," he said, adding that one trial every two or three years was more realistic.

According to the commission, Texas now has 2,300 institutions that are approved for GI Bill students (16 lines, 20) are unaccredited trade schools. The commission has 35 staffers to receive all of the state's GI Bill programs.

In its statement to The Post, the commission blamed VA for its understaffing. It said that under a contractual agreement, VA became the amount of perceived at state agencies responsible for approving and monitoring GI Bill schools.

VA gave for those staffers under a "proprietary" formula and "does not share that model with the states," the commission added.

Former Air Force secretary's security clearance is stripped

Kendall is considering his legal options after Pentagon move

BY ANY B WANG

The Trump administration has revealed the security clearance of Frank Kendall, who served as Air Force secretary under President Joe Biden, acusing him of disclosing classified information about Air Force One to the media.

Kendall has recently been quoted in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, in stories scrutinizing the security features of the Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar, the plane President Donald Trump is using as his official presidential aircraft.

Kendall told the Times that he was "surprised to see this plane used outside the U.S." given how speedily it was modified after the Qatari royal family gave it to the United States. To the Journal, Kendall expressed skepticism that the plane had been "missed out" with security features, as Trump has said it would be.

As an X port Friday night, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Kendall was being stripped of access to classified information and his ability to hold any sensitive position following "unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One's capabilities."

"Independently classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who violate that rules forbid the privilege of access and any role requiring it," Parnell wrote.

On Saturday, Kendall, who also served in the Defense Department during the Obama administration, told The Washington Post he is considering his legal options in response to Defense Secretary Pete Hogarth removing his clearance.

"I've been extremely careful to not say anything that could be classified, and as far as I know I have not said anything classified," Kendall told The Post in a statement. "So far no one has told me what I'm supposed to have revealed. I have of course been a very vocal critic of this administration."

It is not uncommon for former officials to retain their security clearance, allowing them to advise current leadership if needed, to serve on governmental advisory boards or to work with certain contractors.

The luxury airplane gifted by Qatar has raised ethical, legal and security concerns since Trump announced the unusual arrangement last year. Fresh questions about the new Air Force One's security areas last month after Trump switched jets at the last minute for part of his travel back from the NATO summit in Turkey.

Trump denied that security concerns were behind the switch of planes for the first leg of his trip — but also suggested that Sun could have tried to attack his plane, saying he was "number one on their list" of people to assassinate.

The White House said last month that Trump would tentatively return to flying on an older Air Force One while the Qatar-gifted air received unspecified "additional upgrades and enhancements" that would take about a month to complete.

The Defense Department accused Frank Kendall of disclosing classified information about Air Force One.

Former president Biden's prostate cancer has spread, Hunter Biden says

Son also tells BBC that pardise he received from his father was 'not bad'

BY BRANDON RACKS

Hunter Biden, one of former president Joe Biden, opened up about her father's prostate cancer, saying he has been in a lot of pain in the disease has spread.

In a wide-ranging interview, Police with "BBC Newsnight," Biden said that it has been "real" to call to work if 'no father offers. The cancer has spread and 'unsurpassed' into 'his home and brother,' he said.

He said that despite that, Joe Biden has continued to support his public about issues that he cares about.

"He so believes in this country," Hunter Biden said. "And as long as he is alive, I promise you for a going to continue to care."

He also discussed his feelings about resorting a preadventist pardise from his father, saying that it was not good for this country.

BBC correspondent Judith O'Connell, personal Biden, said that he "thought I'd thought it was not 'too far as a dad' in knowing a pardise to his son. In the early 2000s, he was a good practice at president, Joe Biden is much a full and unconditionally pardise for his son despite having previously promised not to

intervene in Hunter Biden's local problems.

Hunter Biden said it was "not fair" and that he is "the most developed person in the world" as it related to getting that liquid of treatment from a father and president.

"Was it good for our constitu-

tion? Was it good for the American people? Was it good for my dad's legacy?" he asked. "No. On all counts."

However, Biden said they did not discuss the pardise before it happened. He is "eternally grateful for it because I think Donald Trump has proven to be exactly

who my dad thought he was going to be, as it relates to105-year-old residents."

Critics had a good reason to limitate the term Hunter Biden said: But then he asked: "What would you know thought of my dad if he did not do it for me?"

After moving, clear of the spotlight during much of his father's presidency, Hunter Biden has to sound months taken on a higher public profile, including engaging on social media with critics and supporters alike, and granting media interviews, including one with right-wing

professors Candice Owens.

In the BBC interview, O'Connell also asked the former president's son if his main-long descent into drugs, alcohol and legal issues "precipitated most decline" for Joe Biden's health.

"This is a very difficult thing to talk to you about," O'Connell said. "But do you think you made the worst and the health worse for Joe Biden?"

After a pause, Biden responded: "Of course I did."

The former president refused to shut the door on him to let him go with you said, but the stress took a toll.

"My dad never let me off the hook," he said. "But what my dad did was always made it clear that when I was ready to come back, the show was open."

In response to questions about the father's controversial decision to seek a second term, Biden said that he violated no influence over Joe Biden, nor did anyone. He was, however, just as opposed to a fourteen at the former president's state during the June 2008 debate with Trump, saying, which Joe Biden struggled to finish sentences.

"I could tell as soon as my father came out that something was wrong," Hunter Biden said. "I was not going into with kind of the hundred-part stars that he had."

People who have followed Pirro's discovery on a judge, district attorney, conservative author and TV personality say she is a prosecutor at least who has long been passionate about fighting crime and protecting victims, and who found a renewed sense of purpose when Trump rapped her to run one of the human U.S. attorneys's offices in the country.

This account of Pirro's intellectual time as U.S. attorney, and how she has handled facing the prosecutor in Trump's forehead, is based on court records and interviews with 12 people familiar with key events. Almost all spoke on the conditions of anonymity to offer candid assessments of Pirro's while her job is seemingly on the line. Pirro, through a spokesperson, declared an interview request.

Her troubles began after the Trump administration installed a new U.S. law variant of the Lincoln Act, which was the first anticipative of this year's July Fourth Inference. Pirro's of panic quickly became the first person and floating to the rectors, and some victims who watched each a pub from were arrested, court records show.

The U.S. internal combat had been up the pool's "essential bander", and Pirro initially filed criminal pleas to the police, including a former Olympic canoose who was to defend on a felony count of destruction of property. In her morning New York league, Pirro instigated that defendant at a news conference and said he is not one who was intended to be poisoning our national resources, our immunities, and our public thousands.

But Pirro abruptly dropped all four cases weeks later, blamed the Intrinsic Department for misleading prosecutors into this unsupported criminal charges and was soon inside the Oval Orfkov's nephew herself.

A former judge and district attorney who served the decades of Pirro's criminal charge, New York, Pirro arrived at the White House on Monday with terms of emigration and the U.S. Attorney Department had decided a useful contract to a company that unsupported the lines, according to people familiar with the war. The Judge had been declared an explosive, 20 years more than that the U.S. attorney's office had been in the town, which stated that "the damage was the result of a localized installation and that the U.S. attorney's office."

Intrinsic Secretary Doug Simpson pushed back, writing on X that the "evidence is clear" that vandalism had what damaged the past.

One person familiar with Pirro's thinking described her approach to the White House meeting as "Stand her ground, be focused, make her case, and do the right thing."

The old between Trump and Pirro, over pushing him of panic at a national monument, came after she had launched criminal probes into an Immaculate lawmakers who criticized the administration's military actions, as well as the Federal Reserve's duty at the time, because H. Powell, who refused Trump's demands to resign or institute lower-interest cases.

A federal judge rejected Pirro's attempts to issue subgroups in the Fed investigation, and she later closed that probe without making criminal charges. But Trump pushed her suggestions in taking the case so far as the credit, a grand jury declared to insist the Democratic organization, and Trump soon moved on to other issues.

The time, Pirro's office said in the Reflecting Pool court filing, prosecutors were voluntarily dismissing the charges Trump said Pirro "folded like an umbrella."

"I just think the war loudly wrong," Trump told reporters Wednesday, noting that National Park Service suppression had told authorities they saw maiden in action. In described problems with the contractor as "a couple of little things" and said he hadn't made a determination in

whether to keep Pirro on the job. "Trump continues his criticism. Friday, acting on social media, that U.S. Attorney Andrew Pritchett could reveal her hastily made decisions."

Pirro had befriended Trump decades ago in New York's social circles, but they had never worked together, and one of name underlying their own public break is that both are more comfortable calling the views than defecting to others, and the longtime break, who has seen them together.

"She has a lot of respect for the president," this person said, adding, "They have a relationship that for the first time has now transformed into a professional subordinate situation."

Pirro, 70, leads the only U.S. attorney's office in the country with the first mandate to prosecute local crimes and complete federal cases. Trump named her interim U.S. attorney in May 2019. She was later confirmed for the Senate, earning support from Republicans that Trump's first pick for the job, Ed Martin, couldn't receive.

Pirro has often been the one absorbing the blowback from heated community meetings and in courts where justice have voted down, bilong charges for some dollar giants and acquitted others of something federal officers.

"The truth is that with the federal surge — whether you like

it or not, don't like it — crime is down," Pirro told the dozens of community members in the D.C. politics 1988, District office at Northeast Washington after a tense weekend last October in which 12 people were shot.

Immunities last year declined by roughly one-third, totaling 127, according to D.C. police statistics. They have dropped another 10 percent this year, and stood at 65 as of Thursday. Reference and property crimes also have declined, but assaults with dangerous weapons have since 60 percent this year, in 700 instances, according to the police data.

"President Trump said, 'I'm going to make D.C. safe and beautiful,'" Pirro added at the October meeting. 'And you know what? He's going to do it. . . . Do you day were pushing, finishing against juries, pushing against judges.'

On social media, she frequented 20 reports a similar message, crediting the president with making the city safer.

She has taken a particular course in a certain force to disrupt international cryptosomes issues, and she has called on the D.C.

Pirro has attempted to rebuild

the U.S. attorney office's caste, which was discussed by staff department and Marble's group of prosecutors who had investigated the Jan. 6, 2024, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Justice Department is now offering $10,000 bonuses to lawyers who sign a commitment to stay at the office for two years, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of President because they were not authorized to discuss it.

"I think that U.S. Attorney Pierre, over the past year and a half that she's been there, has led an unprecedented effort to litigate the turn this city on its head to be a safe place for all of us to live and we," acting attorney general Todd Bimette said at a news conference Wednesday, a notable show of support that toured Pirro's office Bimette added that Trump was allowed to dismiss any U.S. attorney.

Although Pirro's office has had a mixed record with jury trials in U.S. district court over the past year, there have been no major adhesion to the office. Support cases, those include the在美国纳税ers, the billing of a 35-year-old congressional interim, the fatal shooting of a young couple outside the Capitol district. Missions last year, the anybody-style attack in which one National Guard number was killed and another wounded, and the case of Cole Young, 61, has been charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at the White House correspondence. Missions last year, the trial of an alleged terrorist behind the American bombing of Red Ash Flight 101, was jacked on, from which a cell called for this year to D.C., with Pirro's office winning the prosecutors.

But critics say Pirro has com-

bated prosecutors' autonomy and joined up their workloads for entering them to seek the necessary possible charges to every case. Judges and public detractors have criticized Pirro's office for bringing cases during Trump's federal law enforcement today that were based on incomplete or shoddy investigation, leading to multiple instances in the case. The U.S. attorney's office discussed charges after the defendants spent time in jail.

"I think many Americans have a sense that in Trump's U.S. prosecutors are being brought for reasons other than public safety," Paul Butler, a Georgetown University law professor, said in an email concerning Pirro's record as U.S. attorney. "We are now seeing many jurors move carefully scrutinizing cases, and think a good thing as terms of law that system is supposed to work."

Longtime defense attorney, Paul said, who prescribes in the D.C. area, recalled that he first encountered Pirro in the 2008s when she was the Westchester County district attorney, and he was following people facing the death penalty in New York. She made death penalty cases coming to her political assistance, he said, as she geared up for a potential run for state attorney general or governor, but she now got a detectable statement of the case. The case was then held in the United States for her television career.

In Trump's overall term, Floyd said, "The U.S. attorney, a few offices have discovered that being a responsible prosecutor is sometimes a feasible offense. He noted that Eric S. Delano, the U.S. attorney, is essential as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The attorney is a legal and unethical in making a most criminal charges against former FBI director James E. Conary and New York Attorney General Carlisle James. The attorney's office has no case as had said the evidence was too likely to take to court."

"He readily is if you're an official U.S. attorney, and you won't be here in Trump's will, you're gone," Floyd said. Of Pirro's decisions is doing the Reflecting Pool cases, he added, "The gets some credit for standing up to Trump."

Hunter's new one criticized Pirro's office for wiping out the most serious convictions from the Jan. 6 rule — the evidence conspiracy cases against the far-right Floyd have used both Kemp and others.

Members of the astronaut groups developed because she was a member of the Capitol, according to the evidence presented at their trials. Pirro has ever signed on to her court filing in close three charges as a matter of being the wrong, according to people familiar with the matter. But she declines to have been a new three cases, even as federal judges because the historical consequences of undoing convictions for crimes against the country.

Voter turnout surges in Tennessee after Black-majority district is erased

BY CLARK RICE MUSEK, GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER C/O BRAND THOMAS

Democratic turnout for House primaries in a majority-Black Tennessee county surged to the highest level in a Senate Thursday, the latest sign that redistricting may be energizing Black voters across the South.

A fifth of active registered voters cast a ballot in State Democratic U.S. House primaries held Thursday in Shelby County, where includes Memphis Thurlowes than double the turnout percentage for similar contests in 2016.

Organizers said the subpoenaing was motivated by anger over the Republican-led legislature's action to break up the state's only majority-Black congressional district after the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated minority voter protections in the Voting Rights Act this year. Lawmakers dispersed the Black voters of Shelby County into those separate districts that stretch into rural White communities.

"People are pinned off," said Kenshi Knight, chairwoman of the voting rights group Organize Tennessee Memphis. "The dataset part of the African American vote in the state, and people really took it personally — you are trying to come into our county, break up our county and split our vote! And what better way to push back than to our vote by going to look out."

President Donald Trump has pushed out states to draw new congressional districts to help the GOP maintain control of the House to elections this fall. The Supreme Court's policy, of protection in the Voting Rights Act made that state's Louisiana National Democratic Party (LDP) to draw new maps that dilute Black voting power, raising more than the 1000 rights point of the past 40 years are being destroyed.

But the actions have galvanized Black voters who have overruled the city over the state—and turned out in historic numbers in primaries to South Carolina. That increase began to prompt the South Carolina legislature to abandon plans to decades a majority-Black district. The foreign legislature also opted not to act after an outpouring of opposition.

"People are really surged up about — what is happening across the South," Knight said.

Voters fill out their ballots inside Springfield Baptist Church in Memphis on Thursday. Voter turnout surged for House primaries, and advocates cited anger over redistricting.

"People need to show the rest of America, this is not the way you treat voters."

Democrats and voting rights organizers had worked overtime in Tennessee over the past few weeks to counter a big pressure in primary elections there for governor, a U.S. Senate seat and the state's nine House districts, even though Republicans are heavily favored to win those races in November.

"A night like last night lets you know it's not all in one," said the Rev. Earle Fisher, pastor at Altmountain Missionary Baptist Church in Memphis. "We was among us employees, ardent group of both leaders in the city who ranged up turnout efforts after redistricting."

Memphis resident Harmony Lucas, 50, was one of the

young voters who helped to boost turnout — urging friends, family and even to workers to join but at the pole Lucas said she has voted in the past, but the GOP effort to break up the state's only majority-Black district "made me realize I had to get more serious that my voter is heard. It matters."

Ian Randolph, who found out the Shelby County Voter Alliance is boost voter participation, attributed the long turnout in part to such efforts, including by unions and other civic organizations. In recent months, they have had paid parties done testing and phone banking, and gone door to door to canvass voters.

Neverthing that touches a voter, we are involved in," Randolph said. "Working those

things get us a better turnout." Rep. Steve Cohen, Tennessee's later Democratic congressman, decided not to seek a new action after the 5th District, which he represents was overhauled. Justice Reardon — a charismatic Black preacher who received national attention in 2023 for his capitation from the state legislature after providing at the Capitol in Shelby, even when the Democratic examination to wage the uphill battle to replace Cohen.

In his victory special Thursday night, Francois depicted his candidacy as an act of alliance against redistricting and the underpinning of the Voting Rights Act, calling them steps "a blatant attempt to keep people like us out of power and an attempt to make us quit."

GOP strategist Ward Baker,

who is working in the 5th District with Republican nominee Brent Taylor, depicted the idea that Black voters are turning out in bigger numbers out of anger over redistricting.

"It's the first time there's a contested primary in a long time, and several people are running," Baker said. He promised out that Republican voters overall still remember Democratic by a wide margin.

Beyond redistricting, Randolph said voters in the majority-Black county have been energized by other issues including an attempted state takeover of Memphis-Shelby County Schools and the presence of federal immigration agents and the National Guard in the city.

Democrats' task gets harder heading into general elections

this fall," Tennessee's 5th District, which had been the state's only four seat, is now rated first in Republican's New Court. Federal Report said went for Trump by 22 points in 2016.

"Everyone that came out last night — that needs to double for November," Knight said.

Fisher said he and other patriarchs've been planning another "leads to the foils" calls for the one that drew more than 1,000 people this spring. Thursday's show it took years that cautious optimism for November.

"At least votes of what we did worked," Fisher said. "It's one of those instances where you can tag it as a win and build on it, but it's not like a victory tag."

Longtime San Francisco nonprofit will close as city gets tougher on crime

Budget is cut as Democrats' attitudes shift toward crime

BY KATHI MEYTLER

The San Francisco Pretrial Diversion Project, a nationally recognized nonprofit that has played a critical role in the city's court system for its most promising to start down in November, following Mayor Daniel Lizarri decision to cut its budget as the approach to crime and policing shifts.

The organization, which oversees thousands of people a year who have been released from jail before that, analyzed its district plans in a letter to the San Francisco Superior Court two weeks ago.

The Senate of SF Pretrial, as the second-ribed pretrial diversion group in the nation is known, is a sign of a new attitude among Democrats when it comes to crime. The party, which embraced proponents' policies after slaying Sheriff Lilli's number for a police officer in Minneapolis, has telephoned its status in recent years as the doctorate named last charged.

SF Pretrial has already stopped accepting court-trends to its most popular case-management programs, which the nonprofit uses are highly effective in reducing recidivism and entering that pretrial defendants, return to the state's only one of the most operations on Nov. 11, nearly eight months before the official end of its contract.

Unlike ourselves directed the state, only the nonprofit 45 board felt forced to vote for an active citizen after the 1st and 2nd year court started to be months-long attempts to negotiate a way to salvage funding and play open long-term.

"Starting an exceptional budget for an organization on criminal cases, this is the direction we must take," Miller wrote in a letter to the court.

The San Francisco Pretrial Diversion Project is set to close after a tumultuous debate over its future. It is a national leader in its space.

The Democrats' shift on crime has been affected by the decision of President Donald Trump, who made devoting violent offenses a focus of his campaign and has continued that election in the White House, though crime is approaching historic town. Even the most liberal U.S. cities are part of a Google debate over how to meet people who have been accused of a crime but not yet convicted.

In San Francisco, the Superior Court chose to overhaul the city's pretrial process this year by proposing to defend SF Pretrial and hand its unavoidable rise to law enforcement. The reason and the city's Board of Supervisors approved the move this summer, passing a budget that would provide SF Pretrial funding only through next July. At the same time, the state could an additional $31 million to the city's Adult Probation Department to assume the nonprofit's duties — nearly twice as much as SF Pretrial was recur-

ing annually from its city contract.

Key players in the legal system, including the sheriff and the Bar Association of San Francisco, have questioned the wisdom of the city's decision, arguing publicly and privately that the move was made without the input of those most directly at the time of the pretrial debate.

Separately, SF Pretrial employees have said they worry that the pretrial department is unprepared to assume its existence new responsibilities or build trust with the community. It's yet clear when the new pretrial services division within the department will be operational. A spokesperson for Louis de Gabel to comment on SF Pretrial's decision, referring questions to the Superior Court of San Francisco, which requested the change.

Court officials declined to comment. But they provided a copy of a letter that the court's providing judge and CEO sent to

SF Pretrial to Friday saying they were "largely convinced about the immediate consequences" of the decision to shut down services earlier than expected.

The court called SF Pretrial's work "essential" to the day's function of San Francisco's legal system and warned that being the case management programist should lead to people spending more time in all while avoiding alternative services.

"The Court's response to the [SF Pretrial] has concerns regarding its shifting and organizational future," the letter said. "These concerns however, cannot be put into the hands of an unpleasant interruption of critical services for people currently at current or appearing before the Court."

Anders Brown, a former member of the Francisco Board of Supervisors who now serves on SF Pretrial's board, said the city forced the group's hand by ignoring required warnings about a dangerous gap in services

and refusing its efforts toward compromise. SF Pretrial's executive director, who had become a lightning rod, resigned in an effort to save the group, which also offered to undergo monthly audits and build an improvement plan.

SF Pretrial's leaders asked the city to guarantee them there years of funding, which they said would give them the stability to hire a new executive director, solicit the private insurance that supplement their budget and bond off staff department. One year of funding, they said, wasn't enough.

"It's heartbreaking," Brown said. "Fifty years of doing it this way and I just don't think it can ever be explained."

SF Pretrial was founded in 1979 in an unconventional collaborative among 17 state and public defendants, the jail and the courts. The nonprofit is credited by court reform advocates with creating a national model that lets judges release people from

jail before trial while referring them to housing aid, mental health care, anger management, drug treatment and other help.

But the program has not been without its critics, most locally the Superior Court's CEO and its providing judge, who have argued that SF Pretrial's nonprofit status allows for low transparency and that case-management duties could be better controlled seriously.

Brendan Riley, the CEO, has asked that a California statute gives the court the authority to move pretrial services under the pretrial department, which is where almost all California counties chose to house their program.

But San Francisco had opted to let SF Pretrial operate independently because of its extensive institutional knowledge and decades-old community relationships.

Miller, SF Pretrial's interim executive director, said in a statement that doing their work well requires "consistent contact, follow-through, and staffing proportional to the number of people we serve."

His staff, which supervises almost 12,000 people on any given day, simply cannot keep up with the demands of the job much longer in their dissatisfaction. For staffers who stayed on as the group's future grew increasingly doubtful, the number of cases per manager has nearly tripled.

"When coverage declines, the capacity to provide that supervision declines with it. This is critical public safety work, and it would be done well with major gaps in staffing and resources," Miller said. "These circumstances have been the desirable landscape for our staff."

It's been difficult to retain staff, Miller added, in part because the Adult Probation Department's actively increasing SF Pretrial's current employees.

He said that the nonprofit "satisfying help makes a safe transition, but that 'what comes next is a responsibility shared by the City and County, the Superior Court, and Adult Probation'"

Pentagon presses defense firms to build weapons as Iran war depletes stocks

WILKINSON PHOTO A1

Trump on Thursday said that the United States has "massive amounts" of munitions, posting on Smith Social that "large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed."

Feinberg's note comes after efforts by the White House to enlist the defense industry to unlock military funds.

In late July, legacy defense contractors and Silicon Valley weapons start-ups were announced to the White House to meet with Trump's chief of staff, State Wires, Defense Secretary Pete Ruppritz, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Wright and White House Legislative Affairs Director James Bond, according to three people familiar with the event, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

In the meeting — which included focus such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grossman, Boeing, autonomous weapons firm Andriell and data analytics company Palantir — company executives were asked to directly lobby lawmakers to increase defense spending through congressional reconciliation, the people said. Fox News earlier reported this morning.

The Pentagon has in recent months announced several "framework agreements" with the largest U.S. defense contractors and emerging start-ups to increase its supply of both low-cost munitions and sophisticated air defense weapons, like the Terminal High Altitude Arm Defense (THAAD) and Patriot missile interceptors.

These framework arrangements are legal, outstanding contracts between the U.S. government and private sector partners that signal the Defense Department's intent to purchase weapons but rely on congressional funding to become final, industry experts said.

"They are agreements to

agree, and so they're not contracts," said Tom Kanake, director of the Missile Defense Project at the think-tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CISS). "Almost nothing has been contracted, and that's the problem."

"Working directly with industry leaders to accelerate production is not new. It has been the clear intent of the President and this Secretary from the start," Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.

He added that the Feinberg memo "a real" and "will not win the final year 2024 budget submitted to Congress for funding, and it is entirely consistent with our ongoing push to rebuild the defense industrial base."

An empty arsenal

In the first month of the Iran war alone, the U.S. fired off more than 900 Tomahawk cruise missiles and more than 1,000 Patriot and THAAD inter-

ceptors. The Post previously reported. The U.S. also used more than 1,000 of the Army's tactical ballistic missiles in the initial weeks of fighting.

As of last week, the global inventory of Patriot missiles has fallen from 2,000 before the war to fewer than 642 and THAAD missiles from 642 to fewer than 276, according to an analysis by CISS.

The depleted U.S. stockpile of munitions and defense defense has increased the risk to U.S. service members and forced the White House to back away from escalating attacks. The Post previously reported.

The Pentagon has made efforts over the past few months to increase its weapons supply. On Monday, the Defense Department announced a framework agreement with Northrop Grossman and Lockheed Martin to increase production of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and THAAD missiles.

Last week, the Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $64.6 billion to triple production of PAC-3 by 2030.

In May, the Pentagon announced several framework agreements with defense bulk companies, including Andriell, Castolion, Colagore, Leidor and Dine's, to "aggressively expand" the U.S. military's strike capabilities and purchase their low-cost missiles. The department in late June also hosted leaders from various Silicon Valley start-ups, indicating they will be crucial in reemphasizing the U.S. with weapons.

Speaking in November at the National War College in Washington, Ruppritz outlined his vision to overhaul the Pentagon's acquisition process in partnership with U.S. industry to ensure it can operate on a wartime footing.

"American industry and its innovative spirit are begging to

be unleashed to solve our most complex and dangerous warfighting problems," he said. "We need to get out of our own way, out of your way and enter into real partnership with you rather than overproactive and deliberate your natural progress."

'The dilemma'

The Pentagon has brought in former Silicon Valley business leaders such as former Over executive Emil Michael to serve as the Defense Department's under secretary for research and engineering, and overhaul the defense innovations and procurement process.

But moving forward with the Pentagon's framework agreements to purchase weaponry, crucial to Defense Department strategy to expedite acquisition, depend on congressional passage of a $1.25 billion defense spending bill, which remains deadlocked as Democrats object to massive spending increases.

"That's the dilemma, that's the danger," Kanake said. "This really, really critical thing is in jeopardy because of congressional inability to appropriate."

In the memo, Feinberg said the Defense Department is "fundamentally shifting how [it] develops, produces, and holds military capabilities to meet current and future challenges."

Feinberg deemed several weapons programs critical and "under consideration for acceleration or increased procurement" during the 2020 fiscal year budget review. It included the "Next Generation Interceptor" missile defense program, the "National Advanced Surface-to-air Missile System," a mobile air defense radar system, an advanced pilot training system and a space-based system for missile tracking.

The Feinberg memo lacked "industry leaders" to plan for "accelerated delivery" that would "provide the fastest production schedule to deliver projected orders and increase capacity."

It also asked defense firms to "prepare specific capital investments and facility expansions ... to support the Department's commitment to higher volume, sustained orders," Feinberg added.

"Address how we will collaborate as partners and demonstrate your willingness to put skin in the game," he wrote.

Kanake said some defense contractors are spending their own money to fund production costs while Congress is in gridlock and framework agreements await approval. But he said that comes with a risk for industry.

"It's a little bit of a gamble because they're sticking their neck out," he said. "They're publicly loaded companies, and you're not supposed to really stick your neck out on a premium."

They skated together for nearly 60 years at the same rink. Now it's closing.

OFFICIAL FILES: A1

Jerry knew, as he and Tally helped around young people in buggy mass, that they had only a few days left to glide together across the ice, but he wasn't ready to give himself over to grief. Nothing back started, he knew. Colson Diver no longer teased. Boom booze were out of style. Close change, meadow straight.

But Jerry and Tally had never known each other without this dropping mail rank. What would happen when they had it? Who would they be if they couldn't skate?

Looking back, Jerry thinks of their story as one of careful steps. Would he have learned this sport if he hadn't caught that "Lazard to Braves" episode when the gullible floor boys skater three sizes too big? And would he have met Tally if his local rink in Yakima, Washington, stared upon your-consult? Tally does had crossed only because an out-of-town instructor told Jerry he ought to spend the summer months in Portland, a city 100 miles south, "where there's a girl who skates like you"

Jerry didn't imagine she would want to skate with a "back from the sticks," but one Tuesday in late February he had the day off from school, so Jerry and a group of friends drove down to meet Tally.

He couldn't behave how smooth a skater Tally was. She was better than he was, but he knew what the instructor meant. That both had a soft way of moving, with good leg extrusion and the same way of holding themselves on the ice.

They skated to whatever the radio was playing then, maybe the Turtles' "Buggy Together" or "Ruby Tuesday" in the Rolling Stones. It was the closest he had ever felt to flying. They let us earth, he thought for the first of what would come to be an unavoidable number of times.

He flew down the following weekend, and even he was commuting to Portland every weekend, a consulting student (606) cost $18.50, and Jerry worked odd jobs to pay the airfare. Eventually, Tally's parents said

Jerry and Tally Leonard skate in the Lloyd Center on Tuesday. The mail where the rink is located was scheduled to close Saturday.

he could move in with them to finish high school in Portland, and the pair spent all their free time on the ice.

The Lloyd Center ice rink has changed a few times over the years, but in the 1960s it was an open-air problem with arched bridges, a terrazzo floor and room for 1,000 spectators. Newspaper articles boasted that its rink was bigger than the one in Kochukiller Center.

Those were bakeyes here, when locals felt like stars, and actual stars came through. A "tanned, tired and determined" Reble Kennedy circled Lincoln ice in May 1964, just a month before he died. One years later, 3-year-old Tanya Harding took her first 3-wote there.

Harding wasn't a star then, and neither were Jerry and Tally, but the two of them were good enough to make it to the National Figure Skating Championships. In 1993, they won third place in an dancing.

They stopped competing in 1975, when he was 25, and she was 24, because they wanted to focus on college. But they knew they didn't want their partnership to end. They married in 1971, and without a few years they had two sons and a dental practice where Jerry worked on teeth, and she served as his assistant. They scheduled their workdays around the rink's open-skate times.

An old photograph of Jerry and Tally Leonard, who have skated together on Portland's Lloyd Center rink for six decades.

In these days, whole cities converged at their walls. While Tally and Jerry skated, children picked out their back-to-school clothes, and teenagers turned their first parachute scooping caramel corn at Joe Browns' Young couples filled out their wedding registrars or bought living-room mates. And even people without money saw the Lloyd Center as a place to be, in income or labor, to pass over those arched bridges and watch the couple below pull off perfect arabesques.

In 1995, the mail put a roof over the rink, and the east wind that once from Jerry to a complete stop as he held Tally over his head no longer blow across the ice. The bridges went away. In 2016, mail owners streak the rink to an oval the skaters compared to a three-hole golf course. Wedding registrars and most everything else moved online. Mary's closed, and Niedercan closed, but Jerry and Tally kept coming.

Last week, Jerry led Tally around the edges of the ice, and then gave way to Michael Bellet, then "bridge over Portland." Wants. Mona exchanged numbers and promised to let each other know if they found another good time. Two floors up, remote workers using the mail as office space hang over the ledge and filmed as Jerry extended his arm for Tally to hold.

The rink was packed (kick-standby, someone fell, and the couple skated over to help them up. Even now, at an age when bodies grew wobble, Tally and Jerry were solid on the ice. They pruned each morning to stay "sharp-side down," but they'd had their mishaps. He split her knee open once with his blade. Another time, during a presentation for local dignitaries, he dropped her into the celebratory cake.

A man used the intercom to announce a pause in the public skate. The ice resurfaces needed to smooth the rink. "There will be a short skilled skate directly after," he said.

Kids stunned off the ice, boasting about new tricks or their first graveyards without falling. Jerry watched them, and his heart broke more for them than he himself.

"We had my years to skate here," he said. "The younger generations won't have what we

did."

Off the ice, Tally said her memory had started to slip. She couldn't remember all the dates and names she used to, but her body hadn't forgotten how to move. When the ice resurfaces finished, Tally skated in the center of the rink, and Jerry followed.

Their legs and arms moved in unison. They were all black. A woman on the sidelines said "prawful," and the other mothers agreed.

For years, their post-cleaning exhibition song was "Sneezing Green." But that was a four-minute routine with a lot of lifts. Now, they skate to Nat King Clark "I, O-O-E, I, 2% miners 100% with no lifts but plenty of footwork.

Someone else might have invented the new limits of their body, but as Jerry held onto Tally, and they twisted their hips together, he felt the same joy he had during their first skate. That had never changed.

He thought, briefly, of the days to come. The mails collected he had asked the couple to perform one last time before the Lloyd Center closed for good. That's would be the last blades to touch that ice.

And after? Jerry wasn't sure yet. They had survived without sharing for a year while he finished dental school and again for a few months during the pandemic. But they never had faced an eternity without this rink. He knew there was another one over the state line in Vancouver, Washington, but it was a half an hour away, and the rink was cold, and it's not the place where they fell in love.

They reached the side of the rink closest to the skate rental, and Jerry let go of Tally's hand. She spun away and again overcame said "prawful."

Jerry would ask himself later what would become of their partnership without this mail. For now, the song was over, and Tally was a few feet away. He skated toward her. He wrapped his arms around her back, kissed her the way he always had, and when the teenagers and remote workers clapped, they bowed, then left the ice.

Presiders worry for the future of Head Start programs after HHS proposal

By JACKIE MAHER THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Soon after Alina Giann551's transport child started Head Start to Magic County, Washington, one of the teachers pulled the mother of three adults.

The boy wasn't talking, inside, other toddlers he age who are typically using simple words and phrases. That observation led to speech therapy for her son, now almost 2. Giann551 and she's amazed at how much his vocabulary has blossomed. "He continues, and he's got something new to share," Giann551 said.

Giann551 credits her own program to his participation in Head Start, the federalist headed program for low-income adult toddlers and preschoolers. In addition to preparing children for school, Head Start programs have also focused on child and family well-being, through federal standards that govern how they operate.

He's now proposed this week from the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees Head Start, seeks to fundamentally change this uniform approach by eliminating most of those standards and reducing those with significantly good-sized sessions.

Among the standards that would be dropped, a ban on awarding children, respectively, on the number of adults needed per Giann551 and a maximum to provide half-day care. HHS is also preparing, reducing the cap on administrative costs and to prevent it. In 1 percent, a change federal officials said would free up funding to serve as many as 200,000 more children. States would have wide access to staff for programs to their liking, federal officials said.

The administration's proposal would also add some new requirements. Programs would need to develop strategies to promote father engagement and teach parents about marriage and healthy relationships. Head Start programs would also open the program to a shift from the program's previous support for bilingual students. Programs operated by the state of Washington, who would be exempt as long as the language relates to "child heritage."

The public has 60 days to comment on the proposal.

The changes would also what Head Start is, provided, on Head Start could end up looking wildly different depending on the state, fitting in the face of the program's mission.

"It wouldn't be Head Start response," said Jan Balitz, executive director of the nonprofit Beach State in Madison, Wis., who, which gave its several Head Start programs. Without the national standards, Balitz receives that Head Start will become a "half-for-a program."

The included help programs that work, Alex Adams, an assistant

necessary at HHS, said the proposal aims to provide flexibility in the 1,000 local organizations that oversee more than 16,000 individual Head Start programs.

"One-for-the-All mandates from Washington cannot fully account for the realtime facing 1,000 grantees," he said.

The proposal comes at a newscheck from 3rd Head Start, which has hired challenges and federal attacks in recent years. Head Start began in 2005 as one of the signature policies of the War on Poverty. At a budget of around $22 billion, Head Start and Early Head Start have about 700,000 wish for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, according to the most up-to-date figures from the federal government.

In 2024, the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank with ties to the president, published Project 2020, a governing program that called for Head Start's elimination. Last year, a leaked budget proposal eliminated the program's funding, but after nearly three percent said advocates, it was included in the president's budget.

Many individual programs were also caught up last year on a federal funding frame and about 20 percent of the programs federal staff were eliminated. Last spring, the government withheld nearly $1 billion in funding from local programs, a move that the Government Accountability Office later called illegal.

The Trump administration has closed five regional Head Start offices and consolidated all programs under the remaining five regional offices. Last summer, the administration proposed a rule to ban and recommend nonviolent children from Head Start, an effort that was later blocked by a federal judge.

Head Start teacher Nadine Fulp helps two preschool children with a science experiment at a Head Start program in Geyersville, Ohio. Federal standards govern how Head Start programs operate.

Providers say that Head Start has a broad purpose that the Trump administration's efforts would undermine.

"Simply providing child care is not enough," said Bailey of Beach State in Wisconsin. "It's not our mission. It's not our goal, and it's not going to lead to the outcomes that we want to see for children and families."

Nadine have shown mixed results for the educational outcomes from Head Start: A government-funded study showed that Head Start children are academically no different from their peers to the time they reach third grade, but some research points to improved long-term educational outcomes for children, and more positive parents, and teachers.

Nadine of social benefits, however, have been more positive. 1923 study found increased high school graduation and college

enrollment rates, reduced teen programs and reduced criminal engagement in the second generation of Head Start attendees, suggesting the program has the potential to affect families over decades.

Opponents of Head Start argue there is not enough rigorous data showing that it leads to long-term positive outcomes. A June report by the Heritage Foundation pointed to federal data that identified safety violations at some Head Start programs as evidence is should be interpreted.

"It have a federal (unproven-funded) program that is performing like people, there's every reason for the program to be nased and turned into something else," said Jonathan Balitz, acting director of Heritage's Center for Education Policy. Providers say the removal of the ban on regulations could

limit access to early learning for some children. Annan Mason, executive director of the Wisconsin Head Start Association, said another ban on about families whose kids with disabilities were locked out of child care programs because these programs couldn't support them.

"I worry deeply about our kids and families with special needs and behavioral concerns, beyond that's a large portion of who Head Start serves," Mason said. "When you look at having three really intense local pressures and pressures to serve more children, I worry that means some of our most vulnerable and full and up being satisfied from one."

The Trump administration also says ratio and group per mandates are no longer needed because states have evolved to help have school-licensing and overnight requirements" since the program's creation.

In recent years, however, many states have made efforts to deregulate child care by increasing staff-to-child ratios and education requirements in child care programs. In Idaho in 2022, Adams, then the director of the state's Department of Health and Welfare, proposed eliminating state-mandated ratios for child care programs altogether.

Experts say eliminating Head Start's rules about how many teachers are needed per Giann551's work. "I think it's not a positive, a negative and a negative response to the change in their care, of a virtual time for brain development. The early years are when children need need nurturing care and interactions with caregivers, said Shantel Mrak, executive director of the Children's Equity Fund, a child policy centre at Alabama Head University.

"State child care licensing is

the best minimum," she added. Head Start standards, on the other hand, are "a much more robust set of standards."

Musk recently co-authored a report that broad rules child-to-teacher ratios vary widely and are often looser than Head Start's. For example, Head Start requires one adult for a group of four 3-year-olds, likely those states meet that standard. In Mississippi, one adult can be asked to be up to 12 3-year-olds on their own. In Texas, it's 25 children.

As Wisconsin, Bailey said the children her staff serve in Head Start are especially in need of more one-on-one attention. "Having one staff member about every single group of preschool children is a health and safety issue working in August," she said. "The children when they are children are working through training, the alternative of growing up in a low-income family. We have hidden that need and deserve a lot of individualized support."

Several program directors say the standards aren't a burden.

The only working really well in North and East Pittman, a program early-childhood education and short-strained with the Washington State Association of Head Start and children. "I don't have a lot of Head Start standards, but these equal success figures make a better way to address that they wouldn't have if they didn't have Head Start."

The instability in Head Start has been difficult for families to find. In 2020, Head Start also is Head Start. The program is particularly concentrated in its out across almost 40 percent of all funded Head Start units are to meet congressional districts, compared with 22 percent in urban districts. In some states, 1 in 2000 of 1,000 new districts operated for Head Start.

For Melissa Harding, a parent of four in rural Maine, the local Head Start program - a 40-minute time from her home - was the closest child care option.

Harding is concerned about the need for a better initiative of the oral hygiene department. Head Start programs must be organized in the state's national and preventative screenings. That was the only reason for children had dental work. Harding said, "With her other children, the closest option is a dental school where students are training to become dentists. That of her is a two-hour drive."

"I think a lot of people don't think about that benefit when they think about Head Start," Harding said. "All this things that are not a good idea about anything that most people don't have access to in their everyday life."

The many about Head Start changes, and, probably by the Washington Board's, is equally independent most important to the community and innovative in education.

'Where are the workers?' The strange cause of a lower unemployment rate.

As economy shed jobs, more American adults opted out of labor market

BY STEPH TANNENSON AND LACHEN KLEIN FOREST

The U.S. economy shed jobs in July, yet the unemployment rate improved - an unusual pairing that points to a worrying story, including behind the same economic scene这种情况.

That's because even as the U.S. economy last June, the federal workers left the labor market faster.

"This is one of the very, very low times where you see the number of jobs driven but the unemployment rate falls" said Stephen Moore, a conservation economist. The explanation, he said, is lower people looking for jobs. "That's a big economic story. Where are the workers?"

The share of adults working in a family for work (staged to 64.4 percent in July, extending a weakening to the labor force) has an important role in the large and less-reached the lowest level since February 2024, during the pandemic.

Emphysema shed 2,000 jobs in the U.S. economy. In 1,600,000 American figures released Friday and the unemployment rate fell slightly over the last three 4.5 percent, due in large part to lower workers in the labor market. The aging population is one of the biggest factor leading to lower workers' health insurance rates, they pull down the share of adults either working or looking for work. But that doesn't

The share of workers ages 50 to 54 dropped between May and June and hasn't fully recovered, with men accounting for much of the decline.

explain the full drop this year in the labor force participation rate.

The share of workers in their "inner working years" ages 25 to 34, fell sharply between May and June, and only partially recovered in the working period. In recent years, the number of workers in four that young and middle-aged people are abandoning job searches.

Also, as particular have been doing a sharp decline in the workforce, with participation at an all-time low outside of the peak of the pandemic, at 66.4

percent in July, with both older men and the youngest men in the workforce driving the decline. That's concerning for both social and economic reasons. Moore said, "That is not a good trend."

"We're just not seeing makes working as much, and I don't have a good explanation for why that is," he said.

A shifting economy plays one role: Most recent job growth has come in health care and private education, while long illuminated by women. Several male-dominated

unbatish industries, including manufacturing, transportation and nursing, have shed jobs over the past year. That seems a naturality between the adult population, and the jobs ended in the decline is a potential warning sign, many economists say.

"We like to see the unemployment rate is a major, typically right?" said Alexander Rich, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. But that's because it normally indicates employment is going up.

Rich has watched the labor force participation rate fall for months, and he said it's "a worrying trend." The ban is that the changed tradition are going up.

But the picture is not yet clear because other factors are also important. Now, including the Trump administration's big push to end barriers, stop immigration and support immigrants, which has led to a decline in for- and in the workers.

Some and young adults have also fallen out of the workforce. The share of 10- to 30-year-olds

working or looking for work has fallen this year, lowering near the lowest levels since the pandemic after teen employment ranged in 2023 and 2024. The share of 20- to 30-year-olds in the workforce has also fallen in sexual months.

One reason some teens are not working. More are producing high school education in young high school graduation rates, experts say. But another reason is weaker hiring in the hospitality and retail sectors, which tend to be more young people.

Growth in artificial intelligence and other technologies has also be creating new barriers to entry-level roles. For example, self-service books have taken the roles of many authors, said Sam Kemp, an economist at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington, Oct. 31, applicant screening tools could be favoring more experienced workers.

Kemp said she receives young people are running out on work experience that could help workers be involved in the labor market for more to come.

"There is one bright spot from the world, the world, and tiny Europe, director of economic research at the Nursing Clinic Institute of Philadelphia think tank that shakes the labor market. The new work on women have left the workforce, the number of people who say they want a job that they are doing. The problem the past month has kicked slightly down.

"The things that would make me really worried about labor force and the following up," Kemp said. "People aren't telling us, it's what a job but can't find out."

Iran nears deal with Oman over control of Hormuz, but roadblocks remain

Among other concessions, Tehran wants sanctions lifted, compensation

BY ANITA B. WANG AND MOHAMAD EL CHAMAL

Iranian officials said Saturday they were close to reaching an agreement with Oman over control of the Strait of Hormuz, but said any deal would not reopen open the waterway unless the United States met a list of demands, including payment of war damages to Tehran.

"We believe we are very close to a final agreement. However, this does not indicate the reopening of the strait," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Alrajk did told reporters at a news conference Saturday.

Alrajk did said the negotiations with Oman, a U.S. ally, involved developing a temporary navigation route through the Strait of Hormuz, but he said this would not constitute reopening the strait.

"Reopening the strait is contingent upon other conditions and compensation for the United States' violation of the Memorandum of Understanding," he said, referring to a document that leaders signed in June to take the first steps to end the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.

Iran first blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point for oil and natural gas leaving the Persian Gulf, just days after the start of the war. The June agreement called for it to be "unnecessary" reopened with no appointments for its days and the Iran and Oman to "conduct dialogue ... to define the future administration" of the passage.

But while Iran and Oman have held discussions, Tehran has continued to publicly insist that it have control of the strait and the right to charge tolls for transit through it. The U.S. has said Iran should have no unilat-

ond claim on the waterway — a risner that Tehran says is a violation of the agreement.

Mohammad Ragher Zolghadz, the secretary of Izmir Supreme National Security Council, on Saturday outlined key demands to reopen the strait, saying the U.S. must withdraw its forces from the region, pay compensation, lift sanctions and ambass

Israeli assets.

Zolghadz in a statement carried by Iranian state media, also called for an end to strikes on Israeli proxies in the region, probably referring to recent U.S. strikes on Iranian-backed solicitor in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, has also been engaged in intra-var foodilities with Birodka in Yemen, while Israel has occupied a large portion of southern

A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anorexic materials set by the Group administration, told The Washington Post that past week that any temporary routes must be without tolls or charges and cannot require approvals or permo-

nions for wands to pass.

"The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and no party controls the lanes or the ability to transit through them," the official said.

Before the Iran war began in February around one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas supplies passed through the Strait of Hormuz. The disruptions

have sent global prices of energy and other goods higher.

Nigerian brides and grooms arrive for a mass wedding ceremony in Kano, Nigeria, on Saturday. The state-sponsored wedding was organized by Abba Kabir Yusuf, the governor of the northern state of Kano.

In Nigeria, mass weddings offer a way to move on from tragedy

BY DRAMON GARRA Associated Press

KANO, NIGERIA — For groom Haryou Bashe, this weekend's mass wedding event in Nigeria was more than a celebration. It was a hope-filled turning point after months of pain and grief following the loss of his first wife and six children in a brutal attack earlier this year.

Bashe was among 1,500 couples being married Friday and Saturday in a state-sponsored mass wedding organized by Abba Kabir Yusuf, the governor of the Kano state, in northern Nigeria.

The ceremony marks an opportunity for Bashe to begin rebuilding his life after the tragic loss of his immediate family.

"Since the tragic incident, he hardly interacted with people. Today, he is gradually returning to normal life," said Sheikh Amina (Swalom Danzowa, commander-general of the Kano State Hishak Board, which co-ordinated the ceremony.

The mass wedding, the second organized under Yusuf's administration, brought together widows and young women on part of a government effort to ease the financial burden of marriage on vulnerable families.

Danzowa said all the couples had undergone screening and counseling before the ceremony and all religious and legal requirements had been fulfilled.

State funding for a fresh start

Similar marriage ceremonies were held simultaneously across Kano's 44 local government areas, according to the state government.

Kash bride was in receive $500 as a dowry and to provide start-up capital for a small business. The couples also received household items, including beds, mattresses, blankets, bed sheets and rugs.

Yusuf described the initiative as a "hold social intervention aimed at restoring hope and supporting dignified family life in Kano."

The program was designed not only to assist women who might otherwise struggle to afford marriage, but also to strengthen families and promote social stability in the state's Yusuf said.

He said the mass wedding was part of his administration's broader social welfare efforts to strengthen family institutions and promote a more peaceful and cohesive society.

Kash bride at the weddings was to receive $500 as a dowry, and couples also received household items such as mattresses and blankets. The state's governor described the initiative as a "hold social intervention aimed at restoring hope and supporting dignified family life in Kano."

Professor Iami Zabandham, Kano's chief imam, offered prayers for the newly married couples, asking for divine guidance, blessings and lasting harmony in their house.

Some beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the state government, describing the program as an opportunity to begin a new chapter of their lives with dignity and hope.

Midanus Amou Mufi, a 39-year-old widow, said: "To start, I am still never be begun yet in my life. My husband died four years ago, and today I wed my new husband whose love and caring will ease my years of being a widow."

Social intervention policies

Kano, Nigeria's most popular state and a major center of Islamic culture, has organized mass weddings for years as part of efforts to support widows, divorces and young women facing economic hardship.

The practice gained prominence under successive state administrations, with governments providing couples with wedding necessities and financial assistance.

The initiative comes amid broader economic pressures facing families in northern Nigeria, where the rising cost of living has made marriage increasingly difficult for young people and vulnerable households.

Dr. Abba Abdulkati, a university lecturer and social welfare expert, described the initiative as a measure that could help address some social challenges in society.

He said programs that reduce the economic barriers to marriage could contribute to family stability, particularly among vulnerable groups, but cautioned that such initiatives should be accompanied by broader economic and social support programs.

Kano's government has performed its mass-wedding program as part of its broader social intervention policies aimed at reducing economic hardship and supporting vulnerable residents.

Yusuf, who assumed office in 2023, has made social welfare programs a prominent part of his administration's agenda.

For Bashe, the support came at a moment when rebuilding a life-afforded shared loss may have caused impossible.

Like many of the other hundreds of couples, the ceremony may prove him a chance to start again.

An old, cold brew: Divers recover a bottle of Guinness in an 1864 shipwreck

BY MIRIAM WALDONNE.

The dark glass bottle was one of dozens shown around the modern ship when the divers spotted it. Unlike many others, though, its seal was intact, and up on the surface, they could make out the words: "Guinness Extra Short, London."

The antique ale is thought to be 162 years old.

The team discovered the bottle while diving a shipwreck in the English Channel last year but wanted to publicize the first move extensively while they conducted research, including contacting the company itself. They hope, with the help of a lab at KU Leuven, a university in Belgium, there's a chance the historical draft could even be re-created.

"It's quite easy to find something with a seal on it," said Stefan Paus, one of the divers. "We are very, very excited to see what the test will reveal."

A bell found at the site indicates the wreck is a ship called the Mindors, which set out for Vancouver from London on Nov. 10, 1864. A week later, navigating through a touchscreen part of the English Channel, it collided with another ship and sank to the bottom of the ocean, where he commits an in cold and dark conditions — ideal by generating a bottle of beer, like the back of a fridge.

If the bottle managed to keep out the seawater, there is a chance the Guinness might still be arguable — the alcohol would have prevented things from growing inside, and Extra Ventropes, who runs a lab at KU Leuven that studies yeast and fermentation.

But the Guinness heaved at the time might not have been quite as painfully as another heave.

"In the old days, heewers were not as good working sterility. Probably, from a microbial point of view, it was a bit of a zoo there," Ventropes said, which means the best could have seen or finally thrown.

Additionally, Guinness made in that period would not have been carbonated by nitrogen, which was introduced in the 1900s and gives the beer its

smooth texture and creamy head.

The company has been based in Dublin since 1750. But there is also evidence that at least some Guinness was bottled in London in the mid-19th century.

Single, the British alcohol conglomerate that now owns Guinness, did not respond to a request for comment. The company previously told the Irish fringe that it was evaluating the feed.

There is probably more Guinness to be discovered in the wreck. While the one recovered bottle was found out in the open, the divers also found wooden ciders packed with better and stored spools down. They also plan to examine records that their finish will contain the ship's manifest.

The divers plan to go back in two weeks to recover four additional bottles — two for the Ventropes lab and two for the Guinness Extra sail.

It's unlikely that the lab will be able directly recover original yeast, Ventropes said, because beer yeast does not have a long lifespan after bottling.

However, Ventropes thinks they can find traces of yeast little in the hopes of finding a close living relative to re-creats the brew.

"With sequencing the DNA — we can see exactly where it is on this family tree, and then we can look for modern living siblings of that yeast," he said.

As late as the find is, one of Paus's partners, Paweł Tłuszynski, had experience in researching antique alcohol before. Tłuszynski was part of another team that in 2024 discovered a 20th-century shipwreck in the Baltic Sea that was laden with 167 sealed bottles of champagne.

In 1954, a different group of customers recovered a 200-year-old bottle of distilled spirit from a shipwreck off the coast of Poland.

And a small brewery in Sunderland, England, at one point sold a purse made with yeast collected from old bottles found in a different shipwreck in the English Channel — that one from 1825.

SUNDAY OPINION

Paul Simon: 'john' 'Graecland' 'turning 10. Does it deserve an asterisk?

BY ADRIAN KAHN

Paul Simon's 1960 album, 'Graecland,' is approaching its 40th anniversary. It stands today as the magician open at an artist whose work appears much closer over to the American musical scene. Through his voice, the album has been sold more than 30 million times in various evolving forms — from LPs and cassettes to CDs and downloads. Simon himself considers it his best. By any measure, as a recording and a concert experience, 'Graecland' amounted to one of the most joyful musical experiences of the 1960s, a breath of avocado anti-smoker in an era resounding with digital emphminess, suspicions and drum hushions.

Nothing Simon created before or after 'Graecland' rang with quite the same melodic sororities, rhythmic stage or self-conceivable wit, picking him at his middle-aged self (he was an anti-tremple had divorced for the second time). 'Those are the roots of rhythm,' he sang on 'Under African Black,' one of the album's memorable tracks, a blast with Linda Rosental. 'And the roots of rhythm remain.'

'Graecland,' released Aug. 25, 1960, does in fact remain. He songs, including 'You Can Call Me At,' 'The Art in the Rabbit' and 'Graecands on the Skies of the Shoes,' still play on adult contemporary platform. Its anniversary that rose to being celebrated in richness across the United States and Europe, including a special concert at Lando's Royal Albert Hall featuring Ladysmith Black Mambans, the Zulu choir that collaborated with Simon in the album.

At the acclaim lies one other unique — and an comfortable — aspect of the album's legacy: the 'controversial' tag space reviews gave 'Graecland' back to the fact one that the album has never shaken. Pretty years on, the criteria for which Simon was judged have failed in memory, and the controversial details have been blurred by time: Should there still be an asterisk attached to 'Graecland'?

'Graecland' was charged with with indie-humidestilized appropriations and defiance of the anti-squeathed beyond. Let's look at the charges apparently.

For Simon, 'Graecland' was a return-to-work project. He heard echoes of the rock-and-roll of his youth in the scene of South African townships, a cassette set to link to a friend cataloging 'township jow,' already all-cleared in South Africa, and in that point, it is an unprovened line. Coming out of a creative platform, Simon began to invest twice to match the upbeat narrative and rhythm.

Whether ensuring musical inspiration is labeled exploitation or collaboration — whether it warrants criticism or complicated — usually depends on how the more established and better-funded party approaches the exchange in terms of composition, credit and participation. Simon was already aware of this when he decided, rather than try to overrule the music in a studio close to home, to travel to South Africa and work with the musicians on that roundtrip. He chose to put them triple-mixing scale, far beyond the standard view Black musicians could then expect in South Africa, to attribute to share with the music in a studio close to home, and in all interviews and publicity materials, to identify the musicians by means and feelings.

He also included many of them in his plans to tour 'Graecland' with his musicians who included South African hopeful Rhinos: Maluku and Hugh Mandela, all of Ladysmith Black Mambans, and a full Pan-division group a set languageless proposition with so-pleatantly an interest. It make it easy, you know did not pay himself during the initial year of the tour.

By all appearances, Simon had done as he should, and most persuaded agreed. Yet some still could not get paid for 'coldness' toward 'shes of a White border from the West leading an African ensemble. It was a free thing, more than both.

From later, he was a member of the L199s Maherom, in a Vulture magazine conversation piece, by Culture Recording, always 'Don't!' Simon was ensued. He was a member of the literature who were then appropriating Black music and cultural trends. He kept a failure, before Timberlake and Macklemore. 'Yangaro more mindful' was how 'Graecland' was judged.

One other thing, the album, 'Graecland,' was trickier. It indeed to Simon's 1960 decision to record in South Africa, a country that, undecided,

A common sense of the music that is a good, but not a bad, and the music that is a good, but not a bad, during the 'Graecland' tour in 1960's.

A communication of the more than 1 million copies sold of Paul Simon's 'Graecland' at the home of the record's co-producer, Roy Hales.

in political turmoil, the result of almost 40 years of one-party dominance looked in place by a White-nuisance government that, through the prominent apparatus of apartheid, controlled the country's resources and subjugated its Black African population.

As Simon prepared to fly to Johannesburg, protests were flaring in South Africa, and government security forces had become more brutal — more visibly than ever in the U.S. and Europe, as the expansion of global news services and rapidly as the television coverage made it impossible to look away.

The country's Black leadership was persecuted. Simon Mandela most presumably held as partial engaging in any anti-squeathed activity, like Mandela's African National Congress, were uniforms and chiefs. The situation seemed a powder leg.

Suspected governments spoke out repeatedly threatening, then resorting, economic sanctions. Well-known musicians, many of whom helped raise awareness and funds for Ethiopian human victims and a war racket, were uniting an image-promoting apartheid — the Special A&As 'Free Yellow Mandela' in Britain. In the U.S., 'Hate City' to excite United Against Apartheid, a superior-minded, radicalist of parliament led by Simon Van Zandt, called an American to avoid performing in the luxury resort that skirted apartheid restrictions.

What all these anti-squeathed initiatives shared

was an urge to isolate South Africa. A 1940 he-crit was initiated by the ANC and sponsored by the United Nations. The document itself primarily with the spirit of isolation, rather than specific details: 'The General Assembly ... makes the respect to all others to prevent all without evidence, spotting and other techniques with South Africa. This is also an appeal to writers, artists, musicians and other personalities to be most South Africa.'

The constitutes was loosely worked and the he-crit was almost immediately tested by tearing disease from the country's release Black Banger and group such as Ladysmith Black Mambans and the辉煌 White Alaskan, which turned Europe.

Before going forward, Simon consulted with his low musicians like Harry Blackman, Quincy Sars and Hugh Mandela, all of whom were involved with the anti-squeathed struggle. Some served as go-between with the ANC. This helped, but only to a point. Theory little doubt that all involved included in that a solution, and none for 'Graecland' album and that forced into a suggestion.

Sew who were involved in the trade-and-truth of that time deep that the success of 'Graecland' ultimately did more good than harm by shining a light on South African culture. In a 2021 conversation teleunged by the documentary 'Under African Black' that broke — ANC members and co-founder of the British-based Artists Against Apartheid — said to Simon: 'We do not consider you someone

who tried to stop our struggle. We consider you someone who fell into the whirlpool of that struggle ... You're a brother and you have our respect and you're welcome here.' On camera, Simon is visibly moved.

Had 'Graecland' not been such a superior considered, strongly, had it not previously a legally popular tour that lasted for years, there's little doubt that it would have caught old past the controversy. It would have helped if Simon's respecting included at least one clear mention of his anti-squeathed stance. And yet, at the close of every 'Graecland' performance, Simon would join the entire ensemble on the tip of the stage, and with the help of the 'Gulf of Africa' stage, he was a Shield' (A&As, the banned authors of the anti-squeathed movement.

Perhaps the expense of great music is its ability to outlive the time and place in which it was made. As 'Graecland' is celebrated for its songs, so it is remembered for the reason it raised, which remains a permanent part of its story. That 'Graecland' still brings the party as well as a testament to a level of song-crafting and storytelling that merits Simon all of his favorite that have come her way since.

Thinking at length about the album — and how it has become part of our cultural legacy — I came to see that as much as the music still came up in the radio, music questions that still head to be asked about cultural creation and merit. The root of the controversies that 'Graecland' faced remains: Systemic racism and cultural appropriation persist, but so do musical collaborations that can above-antismated ethnic and political divides. Relative to 1960, and thanks in no small part to 'Graecland' we have a deeper understanding and more precise vocabulary to consider these questions.

When I was born younger for Ladysmith Black Mambans, I once called Mandela: how there was so much joy in the songs of Black North Africa — more interest in than power — rapidly contrasting the grim conditions of apartheid. The sense of South Africa is about celebration and certainty. So told me: 'Even in the old days of colonial oppression, before apartheid, we never used a love change will come.' We sang songs that celebrate freedom now!

It is a testament to its greatness that even at 40, 'Graecland' still rings with that same message, urging us to listen, to test empty, and to celebrate our freedom to do so. Linton again and you'll know.

Adrian Kuhn, a music instructor and producer at New York University, is the author of 'Jenny Whatch and Michael,' which publishes on Tuesday the new part of the 'Graecland' tour production team and was tour rearing at the Ladysmith Black Mambans.

Silicon Valley has embraced a strange new faith

BY GEOFF SMYLAENBERGER

Those who first dreamed of artificial intelligence saw it as an instrument for the production of modern nuclear society. The IBM Parlans at the 1950 World's Best, where most of the earliest AI applications made their public debut, advertised a streamlined future in which technologically enhanced problem-solving was intended to all-cause of life.

Things have turned out somewhat differently. The AI era that began with the 1952 launch of ChatGPT often seems more concerned by floodspot commercials in technical cases. The technology has given rise to a short-term impact of prophecies, barriers and false lawsuits of the sort was might associate with an age of religious arrival. Silicon Valley has been a major source district for the 20st century, and the area was between Androgan, OpenAI and OpenAI — whose foundation does a commitment to the multivariate pursuit of quantitative superintelligence — results for South Africa. The AI industry has been a major competition. The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.

The AI is known for this shift. With the time to AI, an industry once conceived with means—technology was traditionally about how, not about to do, to do, and to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do,

that the pursuit of superintelligence was 'the Internet Meaning of Life' and 'behavioral Inhibition of Good.' It wasn't, in other words, a tool for achieving other things; it was the thing to be achieved.

Journalists often quote Yudkowsky as an AI 'aspect.' You be never attended college and has no formal technical training. Rather, he is a man who was aimed by a vision at a young age and has spent the rest of his life yearning by implications. One word for that reaction is prophecy. And the many of his predecessors in that calling, he has found that two, if any, of his self-proclaimed disciples live up to his teachings.

One source of Yudkowsky's pessimism is a conviction familiar to many religious believers: a sense of human health. Because human beings will program the problem-spectral figures, not their right. 'I know your credit to a dissolverine talked.' When the response with which Yudkowsky and his followers provided the rationalist creed, which promised to profit awareness of such issues and improve probabilistic reasoning. This became the shared ethos of the AI safety community, whose members played a key role in founding and drafting OpenAI and Androgan. Although this feature is now often at odds with the AI accelerator, they have to do it right, the two camps are united by the same underlying faith. But it is humanely dozing to build a superintelligent technology that responses to.

One of Yudkowsky's early allies was pressure from Thed, who helped him organize a series of 'fire-galaxy' channels that went on to inspire the current AI issues. Today, Thed is placing the part of a rival prophet of doom who sometimes makes 'full-

For Thed, the pursuit of safety is an unworthy human end, but that can inspire and outperform the decline — the more immediate dangers henceforth.

That and Yudkowsky aren't the only ones preserving apocalyptic vision. Late last year, a joint informal Twitter Network (Twitter authors—But the true agenda of AI was not to turn pretty hot to make contact with OpenAI.

Crowley. And as it happened, a few months later Land received a heavy welcome in San Francisco, where he was hired by some of the city's leading entrepreneurs.

No wonder, then, that in May, Pope Leo XIV did what the Catholic Church has generally seen fit to do in one of heresy and whims: establish and assert official doctrine. Although the pope compared AI to an outdoer of ballroom, eventually, the Tower of Babel, he also struck a mandatory tone with the text industry, inviting Anthropol's Chris Olah to attend the release of his AI emotional. He even declared that 'the promises of transformation,' which offers Christian have been on a blasphemous pursuit of a golden state, express 'a meaning that is of concern to us, namely the need for a fuller life.'

This isn't the only outperformed between technology and technology, and even when it was automatic cross-proposing jobs, both companies are recording, development and financial, charges to help guide their enterprises. This has raised hopes among some that religious wisdom can guide technological development.

But influence may end up running the other way. AI remains not just technical capacities but also its ability to produce more what's important, rather the 'Meaning of Life'. As this technology rapidly infiltrates all rosters of existence, our religious institutions and thinkers remain unaffected by those ideas! Even if the tech industry continues to find religion, its deeper faith in a synthetic dictator, confused from silicon, may still prevail.

How to fight back against the scam centers ripping off Americans

The Movement military released this image of Martink satellite Internet devices seized from an online scam center.

SPHERECESTO-ONLINE READY officers, operating from industry al-scale scam centers in Northeast Minnesota, are talking Americans out of the hands of the result only.

To communicate with victims and collect their names, these scammers rely on technology and financial systems that could be disrupted with better surveillance and policing.

Fighting back requires an honest debate about how much privacy, sensitivity and convenience U.S. citizens are willing to trade for better protection against othercoms.

After targeting mostly Chinese-speaking victims around Asia, the scam revolution have squashed their reach into English-speaking countries. The FBI lagged over 1 million complaints of misplaced Internet crime in 1998 and infuriated 5,000 billion in losses, a 20 percent increase from the previous year.

FBI Director Scott Pearls trip to Southeast Asia last month focused on the scam centers as both a consumer protection and national security challenge. He meetings with key officials in Thailand and Cambodia brought pressure of increased law enforcement cooperation. That's badly needed.

Many scam compounds are connected to influential local tycoons and upscale under armed protection in lawless

areas. The United States can use satellite imagery and other intelligence tools to track down the abandoned industrial sites where customers tend to set up deep. It's up to local authorities to shut them down.

By voting an encrypted messaging app for communicating with their victims, and cryptocurrency for transactions, scam operators take advantage of an understandable preachant for privacy.

The U.S. should not follow the path of China, where any online conversation is subject to the prying case of the totalitarian state, but the hole could be more aggressive about monitoring exogenous financial transactions.

Summons often face their victims through fake ads for banks, investment funds or crypto exchanges – sometimes even creating apps. Like a telemarketing firm, they send out bulk messages to enormous numbers of victims through platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or dating apps. Such companies could be more to verify the identity of app producers and advertisers.

Americans don't want both companies reading their private, encrypted messages any more than the government. But telecoms can look at metadata, not message control, for patterns. These might include new accounts suddenly sending out thousands of messages, a single "B"

address reaching out to thousands of messages, or a large number of copula users suddenly blocking messages from the same source.

Advertisers can identify such patterns and automatically shut down spaniums.

The U.S. also needs to find ways to better monitor and regulate the crypto world. The government could implement stricter real-time monitoring of crypto transactions. Crypto exchanges could be required to see proof of ID for large transfers.

That doesn't mean violating the alternative currency's translational principle of operating outside the traditional banking system. But the promise of decentralized cash flow has become a license for anonymous, industrial-scale money houndering.

Consumer education is also vital. Individuals are their own best line of defense against online customers. Other people are most often the targets. They must tech-savvy children and grandchildren should make sure, for example, that their apps do not accept cold call messages from unknown numbers.

Artificial intelligence will make internet fraud more compact as both continue to proliferate. As all hands approach is required. As is so often the case, the children starts with the family.

Solar power is about to get more expensive. Thank Trump.

SOLAR IS THE FASTEST growing form of energy generation in the United States, and the Trump administration is about to make it more expensive – eight after the mid-term elections.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will set a price limit for polledown, one of the key components of solar panels and communications, and impose a 10 percent tariff on products made from the material. The goal is to make domestic manufacturers more competitive with inexpensive Chinese importers.

"This will bring the supply chain here," said Commerce Secretary Howe and Lattuck. "We're setting prices so that the Chinese can't dump airplanes and we're setting tariffs to say build it here."

Previous presidents have already tried this and failed. The federal government subsidized the solar industry for decades, and President Barack Obama stopped tariffs on Chinese panels. But China still controls more than 80 percent of the market.

Feeding from Chinese suppliers will not be sure. The U.S. has only two polledown factories, and China produced 80 percent of the world's supply to 2018.

The tariffs and price limit will raise the costs of Chinese solar panels and the inputs needed for U.S. manufacture.

Solar panels in East Lansing, Michigan, on Wednesday.

ing. As panels become more expensive, U.S. demand will slow and shift to less direct from of energy. Meanwhile, China continues to move toward renewable energy over its next year.

By Trump's decree, companies will not be allowed to try culturing the lines of higher prices. The changes won't go into effect until Dec. 8, and the executive order blocks businesses from stockpiling polledown before then. The president directed the U.S. government

to restrict the imports of any companies suspected of overfitting.

Power use in the U.S. is poised to sort record highs this year. Girls are already more interested in data center construction acceleration. What a terrible time to drop a new hat on a way to expand generation capacity.

Americans need all the energy fees can get. If the Chinese government wants to subsidize cheap solar panels for U.S. buyers, let it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A father and child look through fencing surrounding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Wednesday.

The Reflecting Pool arrest warrants an apology

When I read the Aug. 9 Metro article "Woman warrants scary" Reflecting Pool arrest," I thought about an staunch Republican father. Consistent with his deeply held traditional American values, he taught me many life lessons, including "pick up trash on public hands and water" and "spreading where you make a mistake."

After I turned 10, my family drove across the country to watch it, and I remember to identify picking up trash in the various parts and brands we visited.

If my father had seen something floating in the Reflecting Pool that looked like trash, he definitely would have spontaneously reached into the water to remove it, just as English-Dominion-Utility did. My heart and brain ache thinking about the possibility that my father could have been, in front of my mother and a patriotic 30-year-old, immediately handcrafted, arrested and publicly vilified. The man up, shaken, would have commuted so that mistaken happen, and he would have made sure that sharper would be dropped and an apology was forthcoming. After all, this is America. Where is the apology for Dominion-Utility?

Rebecca Williams, Gebra, California.

Congress should terminate the absolute prosecutorial immunity for constitutional tests or malicious prosecution bestowed by the Supreme Court's (wider v. Rothman, 1979) decision and its prospect. The knowledge that prosecutors can be sued for damages predicated on absence of prosecutorial protection would concentrate their misuse on steering wide of the danger zone.

American history for everyone

Regarding the July 30 online Opinion commenter "Quite the occultation! These takes on the Smithsonian history".

I took my toddler to visit the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for the after President Donald Trump ordered that signs be installed saying that the museum does not accurately reflect American history.

When we arrived, my son led me downstairs, and the bright summer colors of the 1990s ऑनलाइन exhibit announcement to a 1999 Waterloo Bee becomes begins. I cheerfully followed him as he designed a playground at "Change Your Game" and played with a cultural feature standard in American Enterprise. Upstairs, he swiped in front of "El Rey" and teleported. "It

shines like gold." We wrote visitor comments to show our support for the staff and institutions. His was simple: "I liked all the share cars." Mine was longer, but no less beautiful.

I thank God for National Museum of American History Director James Haring and Smithsonian Secretary Laram G. Busch III for the work they are doing on behalf of all Americans, even the leftist ones. And I look forward to receiving some full report to the National Museum of American History to teach my son about our country and watch him learn the joy of a summer Saturday at the museum.

I'm a rancher. These covenants work.

Cody Swarovski July 30 up at, "We would miss two person problem. So enjoyed the club," argued prairie pot-talk wetland mountain industry burden farmers. I'm a third-generation rancher and farmer who has worked alongside prattle pollution, and I am things differently.

Actually, those covenants are voluntary agreements that have benefited both landowners and wildlife for decades. My family much has benefited from a wetland and grassland movement. It's working well for our operators, and it will help make it possible for us to bring the next generation back home and into the business.

The wetlands protected through National Wildlife Refuge System easements have helped sustain working lands while also preserving the prairie-pothole region, which produces nearly half of the centimetre ducks. Even though I'm a cattle pro, I'm proud of that thick designation as a lifelong concept of the region.

Once those wetlands are drained, they may be gene forever. Washening protections have would jeopardize that public investment and open the door to the permanent loss of critical habitat.

That would mean fewer ducks, and eliminated farming, opportunities as well as low parties, less water and thus fewer cattle at a time when we're trying to supervise the cow herd and producers to feed to satisfy American demand.

The Fish and Wildlife Service should continue honoring voluntary conservation agreements. Doing so protects wildlife habitat, expects longstanding commitments to landowners and ensures future generations inherit a healthy power.

U.S. customs officers want your password? It's an insidious trap.

BY MIKE FOX

These who travel internationally know the routine. Whether at an airport terminal or a land border crossing, returning home means leaving own bags counted to ensure you aren't bringing contraband, illicit drugs or stress-free agents won't fit out. But what happens when the movement decreases, the risk of the phone is

A smartphone is fundamentally different from a mixture. It's not merely a container for physical contact, but it's also a lot of work. Even if books are private thoughts, political experiences, digital schedules, personal photos, contact film, shopping habits, credit card numbers and travel logs, Mr. U.S. customs officers提交 a booklet with the authority to demand passcode and search them digital life-capsules without a warrant — and often without a shock of reasonable suspicion in believe a crime has been committed.

The rationale? Simple that you are presenting yourself at a part of entry.

The legal and official perils of this aggressive practice are on full display in the federal prosecution of Samuel Tanich, whose January 1920, the country highlights the extreme lengths to which federal agents will go to access people's devices. Returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic through the Atlantic airport, Tanich was pulled aside by Cushman and Brother Protection officers cooperating with the FBI. The agents employed high-pressure tactics — including falsely alleging the possible presence of child pornography on his

device — to coerce the disclosure of his password. Tanich didn't fall for the jobs involved, he involved his rights, related to answer questions and prompted his haven't because said. Finally, he provided a code that wiped the device's contents when the agents tried to use it to open the phone, leading to his eventual indictment on a count of delivering property to prevent seizure.

Tanich was formerly known in connection for his involvement in the left-wing "King City City" movement, which had fought to prevent the confessions of the United States, before Escaping United. Tanich and his lawyer believe that he was targeted for this political action — that with no probable cause to believe he had committed a crime (making a political warrant out of the question) and no reasonable suspicion to justify a warrantless search, agents used the border search exception to bypass the South. Amendment entirely. If true, this is a prosecution brought to bad faith. The Constitution strictly forbids charging a person not for what he did but for who he is.

Brother searches are an insidious trap. Handing over a password inside classes can itself self-monitoring evidence. Banding, however, exposes the traveller to socializing: physical detention, device confiscation or criminal charges. For noncitizens, the threat is blunt. Provide your passcode or husband entry. Her U.S. citizens — who cannot be turned away — the options available to customs agents are more limited but still increasing.

Clarity is needed from the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously recognized in its kind

mark 1934 decision in Bible v. California that mobile phones are modern, highly sensitive portals requiring robust Fourth Amendment procedures. All the court has not explicitly defined how the border search exception applies to digital technology. Though many times courts have acknowledged that phones are distinct from standard flagages, they request simple details on border searches.

Thankfully, the law's final office can cover constitutional safeguard against the kind of prosecution. The features deliberately placed in citizens between a criminal defendant and the state because officials cannot always be trusted to police themselves. A jury asked to contact Tanich should consider not just the weight of the government's evidence but the manner in which the prosecution came about. I suspect that prosecution will have trouble meeting the standards of basic fairness and common sense that any group of Americans would bring to the can.

As the Trump administration's war on immigrants moves into the central airports, the prosecution of Samuel Tanich must serve as a wake-up call. Allowing federal agents to turn international travel into an unknown definition of constitutional rights sets a dangerous precedent. The "border" cannot not be a legal black hole where money dies, and it is high false the judiciary — or how about you, Congress? — draws a firm face. Get a warrant or leave our phone alone.

Killing the filibuster won't fix a broken Congress

Since John Johnson (R-Warman) says that though he used to support the filibuster, "it's the point to time" his party should level President Donald Trump's call to eliminate it. But, Darlene Graham (R-South Carolina) has joined the牵引, including with her late brother's commitment to the filibuster.

The contempts of the against the filibuster, which requires most legislation to get off votes in the Senate, comes in two flames: The law published one super Republican in the first instance of power, when they held both houses of Congress and the White House, to enact major legislation that moves the country in their direction by the long lead — before Democratic have a chance to end the filibuster themselves. The high-minded institutional case suggests that the filibuster too the hands of Congress when it needs to fight to reclaim its power from the executive and judicial branches.

Neither set of arguments ought to prevail. Start with the political case. It might have some form of Republican even trying to enact a transfer matrix legislative agenda but kept getting blocked by filibuster. They aren't. Johnson brought up replacing Warrnamet as a goal Republican could achieve it not for the filibuster. But what's right that legislation is not the Senate's approximately requirement. It's that a bill does not exist.

What Trump wants to be left filibuster and they pass mandatory vote (If not) restrictions on such a building. It's only one of the city's perhaps has majority support in either the House, which has passed on the vote (If) compared, or the Senate, this is the state's and even it's could pass. But that would not be the election game change some Republican have continued themselves it would be. Vote fraud and noncitizen voting just are not very large-scale.

And while Democrats may win in 2018 and then try to get the filibuster, it's not inevitable that they will succeed. See, Vote Defendant (R-Pennsylvania) has already said that the filibuster from now on. If the party were to succeed, however, it would surely move quickly to repeal the vote (But) and then render the Republican first strike possible.

It's unlikely, too, that freedom from filibuster would revive congressional power. The notion that Congress doesn't obviate and so presidents have to act on their own is not really true. President Joe

Senate staffers make heck in the Capitol in preparation for a possible filibuster in 2018.

Biden didn't even try to get Congress to pass his student loan forgiveness pass before moving to implement it uniformly. Trump didn't ask Congress for battle last year, either. Instead, he wanted to be able to set them at will. Now, also, that Congress has not found to resist back its power over long for giveaway or battle and then failed because of the filibuster.

To lower order on the legislation that the filibuster blocks it, however, to miss part of its function, which is not only to stop and enforce by basic munitions but to push lawmakers to broker deals that must people in a diverse American society can live with. Each bipartisan shall have become much more in our day, but they still happen — an on-removal justice reform in Trump's first term or underestimation. In addition under Biden, the need for bipartisan support for appropriations bills has also led to their frequently including limits on how the executive branch can use funding.

Yet, Johnson's comment that the filibuster does not call them home now right, in a way. For decades, the United States has been moving away from the version of Congress in which the filibuster makes sense. National politics have become

more and more a content to build partisan majorities that can force through policy changes — such as Trump's tax cuts or Biden's attention perhaps — on their own. The leaders of each party in Congress have centralized power to make the fortification better at this task.

That reintroduction and heightened partisanhip have come at the rest of the ability of Congress to make a clear decision. In general and to defend itself in interbranch struggles to power. The attempt to strengthen Congress has little made it wonder.

Is this approach to national politics, along with the results it is getting, making the public happy or about the state of the country, its politics or its government? Are the partisan majorities working, even for the future and, part? In a close column, I can doubt on the reliability or value of Trump's apparent accomplishments in the last two years. But one might equally wonder for much of what Biden achieved via partisan majorities and concerns earlier in giving it a service.

Rationalism is the most common thing that because it is the most logical step in the partisan escalation of recent decades. The filibuster is an artifact of an outlier era. That is what makes it valuable.

DSA socialism is Peter Pan politics for sandbox revolutionaries

Ronald Reagan was best of an unconservative thought. Thomas Pearce "We have to do our power to begin the world over again" Reagan had an excuse.

His thought Americans needed a cheerfulness infusion after assassination, urban riots. Vietnam, Watergate and ranghides in China, Pearce detained some of the possible law overdrawn in the enthusiasm of many young people for socialism. It is a longing to search of a disastrous Minnesota law. This Wills, Ramiah Sherlin's former running mate, has said socialism is "neighbourliness." Like taking a concrete to the family that moved in next door? The "Internationalism" socialism/communism uniforms since 1971, begins "from no prisoners of operation." But socialism always means more, and less, thans can order for all.

Zahran Mandalai's election helped to ignite 21st-century interest in socialism, a 20th-century doctrine that had a defeating 20th century. Socialism, New York's mauve says, prioritizes the "working class" that what is that? "I think," he told the New York Times, "if you have to work to pay your bills, I think that that is one definition of being a part of the working class." But if everyone with bills to pay — essentially everyone — is socializing properly, what is not socially necessary.

The Democratic Socialism of America, a political party, met of, casually, toward its "program," which begins by urging readers to imagine "a future without capitalism." You "control your own labor, and not a party." The people who are just a job to pay the bills?

"Speaking of bills, you don't really have them anymore. You have no debt. You don't need health insurance. You don't pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable, housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation are the world's most important, but our common goods and utilities — what if you were free to spend your time how you like without working, you are not going to work in the world. What if you didn't have to think about paying rent or home at the end of the month, or seeing for college, or affording government?"

In 1940 let a philosopher not set 10 sounded a similar trumpet. Socialism, and hard labor, would allow each man to "sweep" from what capitalism has "forced upon him." Socialism would end the division of labor, which blurs called an "outcome sphere of activity" and considered dehumanizing.

Under capitalism, he writes, man "is a hunter, a fisherman, a shepherd, or a critical critic, and must remain so it far does not want to lose his means of livelihood." But in communist society already will be so confused. Socialism will enable everyone to "become accomplished in any branch he wishes — to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon."

Devades ago, leftists thrilled to the young Karl Marx's gancy ruminations about ending 'alienation.'

terrores, your cattle in the evening, criticism after dinner."

Beverly years ago, rediscovery of the young Marx's pancy ruminations about ending 'alienation' thrilled infants. They could injure the frayers of noughtliness by calling themselves Marxists without having to plow through his target "manner" writing (e.g., "the Baptist") about the labor force of man.

Today's 20th program has nothing to do with politics understood as the act of the possible DSA socialism is that the power of the world and, in such a way, the government is not a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single, a single

Even when the DSA ostensibly bales about politics, its contention is merely unification. For example, the DSA proposes to "decide the course," which is undemocratic because large and small states have equal representation there.

Abolition would require a constitutional amendment, which 12 small states could, and more would, defeat. The DSA supposedly political program 15 includes dismantling the presidency and the Supreme Court's consent and assertion.

The DSA's "dangerous" policy, which obtains about society's, and humanity's, plasticity, socialism invariably ends in disappointment. In today's America, it begins there, with sandbox revolutionaries who think growing up is incompatible with social justice.

The New York Times reports that at a recent DSA convention in Chicago, Gene Trottke was "talked about." Rightly in. He said that under socialism "the average human type will rise to the heights of an industry, a cluelin, or a blunt." In, socialism is Garrison Kuller's 'magnified Lake Workman, where "all the children are above average."

The DSA's "dangerous" policy, which could postulate "his left merchandise," including "gallstone earnings." This is today's socialism — analytic and free but unlikely to begin America over again.

For South African women, the fight continues 70 years after historic march

BY MICHELLE GOMERS Associated Press

SQUASHERBURG — South Africa on Sunday commemorates 70 years since the Women's March of 1956, when several 10,000 women of all races marched to the administrative capital, Pretoria, to protest apartheid laws forcing Black women to carry passes that restricted their movement. It was a powerful moment in the fight against White minority rule.

But seven decades after risking arrest, torture and even death in challenge racist laws, many women say their fight for freedom in South Africa is unfinished as they continue to grapple with high rates of gender-based violence, poverty and inequality.

A United Nations Woman-supported study in 2024 found more than one to 50 on South African women have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.

An octogenarian recalls the march

Rannie Dinat, 54, was just a teenage during the day, 5, 1956, march. She readied helping her mother, Ama Nadies, an anti-apartheid activist, organize women ahead of the rally. Black women, women of Indian heritage such as Nadies, and even some White women marched that day.

"Black women were organizing, and Indian women couldn't be silent," Dinat told the Associated Press, adding that nobody at the time imagined that "luxury would remember that day!" "We were ordinary women who believed we could make a difference. We simply believed it was the right thing to do."

A jail that has turned into a museum

Freched on a ridge, overlooking central Johannesburg, the Women's Jail was a cornerstone of South Africa's apartheid prison-rivium Today. It's a museum that stands near the Constitutional Court as a reminder of the country's journey from oppression to democracy.

Many of the march's leaders and participants were later imprisoned in the Women's Jail, where activists were held separately according to their race just as apartheid ordered segregation everywhere in South Africa.

"It was designed to break, humiliate, dehumanize," said Notokahala Moneos, student services manager at Constitution Hill. He precinct that houses the former prison complex, the said Black women held at the prison were all allowed to wear underwear or have proper sanitary towels.

Now Moneos said, the museum houses not only famous

Names of former prisoners are displayed at Women's Jail, which now houses South African women who joined in the anti-apartheid fight.

Squaw such as Wintan Mankiwela-Mandela — Nelson Mandela second with — and Albertina Bindo, who became icons of the

anti-apartheid struggle, but also thousands of ordinary women whose names rarely appear in history books and whose encir-

fices went unnoticed.

"Our freedom is built on the shoulders of these kinds of women who were at this prison,"

she said.

South African Paralympic wheelchair tennis champion Kpolkates Montjane echoes the

continent.

Montjane, 40, is one of the country's most successful personalities, she was the 2024 Wimbledon wheelchair doubles title. She said the fight the women took on 70 years ago has "paved the way for us."

"Today, I'm the first Black South African woman to compete in all four major tennis tournaments," she said.

Violence against women remains widespread in South Africa

Moneos said that while apartheid ended in 1994 and South African women are no longer interested from moving to riding or participating in society, gender violence can still draw them freedom.

"There's a different monster which precludes us from enjoying freedom of movement and economic participation. And that's gender-based violence. That's crime," Moneos said.

"If you want to go on at 8 o'clock and it's a bit dark, you'll rather not," she added.

The U.N. has described the country's high rates of violence against women and girls as a crime and a personal wound.

Economic disparity hinders South African women

Government data shows women are more likely than men to be unemployed, shoulder-signed care work and woman underrepresented in some leadership.

Montjane, the tennis star, said structural inequalities are also still evident in sport, where financial obstacles determine who gets access to elite competitors, despite a select few cracking an elite level.

"The barriers I had to overcome ... in a sport like tennis, it's just a financial issue," she said. "They don't lie when they say tennis is a White sport, and you don't really find people of color dominating in this sport."

Still, she believes the evasion of 1936 changed the course of history for her and generations to come.

"The platform has been set," she said.

When South Africa broke down the old-apartheid Women's Jail, some of the same bricks were used to build the museum in its place, which resonates with Moneos.

"We are using the bricks of the past to build our future," she said. "Once we forget the past, it's very easy for us to make the same standard."

For Dinat, one of the few with living memories of the 1956 events, "all person hasn't changed in 70 years."

"Every generation has its own situation, and every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for what is right," she said.

Pulling it together

BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK

The Washington Nationals were in danger of letting another winnable game slip away at the hands of their ever-frightful lodgers. But they held on, and the offense put together quality at-bats to beat the Cincinnati Reds, 6-2, on Saturday.

With that victory at Nationals Park, Washington wins the series and is in position to wing up a sweep Sunday. The Nationals (59-81) also continued their steady climb back toward 200, a mark they fell under after a 17 road trip that took them out of wild card contention and pushed them to sell at the trade deadline.

"When you come back home and plan in front of the crowd we had last night with the rain

The season isn't over yet — and Saturday's complete win was a reminder of the potential this young team has. Several players contributed, beginning with Joel Tena. He led off the third inning with a single, then CF Abrams doubled to move Tena to third, Alexander Orlo's groundball smashed through the left side, and Tena and Abrams scored to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead.

put Brees on the path to Canton

Legendary quarterback is joined by Fitzgerald, parade of stars in IDOF

BY RON MALDINI Associated Press

CANTON, OHIO — Drew Bross stood outings next to his bronze bust, in front of Who Out Nation, and took his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Getting bunched three times in the NFL helped him get there.

"Marty Schattamann, one of the greatest coaches and leaders here to ever coach this game and who belongs here in Canton," Bross said Saturday. "Marty was my biggest fan. He would tell me all the time, even as he bunched me three times and made me fight for my job every year with few greats, Doug Flutie and Philip Bross."

"The first two times I got bunched, I observed it. The third time, I still don't think I observed it, coach. But nonetheless, it fit more than a few. It forced me to access a place in my mind and heart that had not set back. The adversity was not expected, but very necessary. I would never have reached the height; I did withhold. I knew I needed to play better, but more importantly, I knew he believed I would play better."

Bross eventually left the San Diego Chargers and joined the New Orleans Saints, where he won a Super Bowl playing for coach Sam Parton and became one of the most prolific passers in NFL history in the delight of fans who filled the Superfame with chants of Who do?"

Parton took time off from coaching Deane to introduce Bross touring.

Bross got emotional thanking Parton.

"You always had a plan and vision for every player you coached," Bross said. "You are sure if this is how you envisioned my journey or how big a role you would play in it, but I love you for it."

Bross has the second-most passing such a 3-0, 2-0, 1-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0

"I often ask myself how in the world did I play 10 years in the NFL," Bross said. "No, it was for the love of the game. Yes, it was a collection of things to make my craft. Yes, it was the grind and challenge of preparation and the stuff to place the players want to know what it really was! For the love of my teammates, I would wake up every day with a burning desire to commit, sacrifice and

Tunsil's season-altering injury casts pall over positive week for the Commanders

Lavery Tunsil could miss a large chunk of the upcoming season after tearing his left triceps Saturday.

Left tackle tears triceps and other takeaways from training camp

BY TAMIAN REED

This was an eventful week for the Washington Commanders.

The addition of wide receiver Irvine Stage on Friday brought some good vibes to training camp, but that was quickly overshadowed by brutal injury news Saturday.

Left tackle Lavery Tunsil suffered a torn left triceps during a one-on-one drill, according to a person familiar with the other, into who spoke on the conditions of anonymity because the injury had not been announced. While an exact timeline won't be known until after surgery, Tunsil is expected to miss multiple months. When he got injured, Tunsil

immediately dropped to one knee, and the training staff attended to him. He initially went into the medical unit with the training staff, but, after evaluating him, the staff walked him into the facility.

An MRI exam later revealed the nature of Tunsil's injury. He played at an elite level last season and was rewarded a massive two-year, 600.2 million extension with the Commanders this offensive. Now, Washington will have to proceed without him for most — if not all — of the 2018 season.

Andrew Wylie played left tackle in Tunsil's place with the first-team offense Saturday. Another option could be Brandon Coleman, who played guard last season but has played left tackle in the area.

On the positive end, defensive and Dorrance Armstrong and cornerback Trey Amos were activated from the physically unable to perform list while pastor Tena Way was activated from the non-

football injury list Friday Amos, however, left practice-only Saturday because of an undefeased injury. Center Nick Allapoth (call), Light and John Butler (hunt-sting), defensive end Drake Jackson (illness) and defensive end Bostock Wise (quad) also created out.

Here are five other takeaways from Week 2 of Commanders' training camp.

1. Caption Outside now has the best pass catching group of his career. Since drafting Dustris in 2016, the Commanders just launch that a few days to appear with the current group of wide receiver Terry McLaurin and help lead right back to the team. We fit in terms of talent and versatility. One is the top unit finished last year. It will be helpful as he works to get back on track after a disappointing second season.

NEWBURGH'S COLLAPSE

Senate doesn't vote on wide-ranging bill

BY EDWIN PELLE

The District College Sports Act did not reach a vote during an all-night, pre-convincement in the female blue codeboard Saturday, though the bill did gain a spot to September's calendar after the chamele's news from its summer break.

The summer has been tested as putting guardrails around an escalating spending spree to college sports as the industry struggles to adapt to a new wave of in-whe-b rouses can pay places.

College sports is something that needs to be final. They have a good solution," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota). "We got it toad up for next month."

The bill has been on a roller coaster since it was introduced in late Mar. It quickly failed to gain support of the two biggest conferences: the Big Ten and BBC.

Thune confirms no impact on and raised it from near-death last last month and a flurry of negotiations. But as quickly as it was restored, it found a reality thanks to the Senate, where lawmakers from BBC make including Tommy Tcherelle (R-Gahama), and Josh Hawley (R-Minnesota) were among its biggest skeptics.

Then, as the legislation moved a vote, the Congressional Bill of Carren and APL-CIO also came out against it. Amendments during a 60-sheet that were never part of the bill also began coming up.

All that, combined with a packed list of votes including on a short-term funding

that lawmakers will reconsider legislation regulating athletics after chamber's summer break

bill and the narrow confirmation of Todd Binoche for attorney general, pushed the PCH, toward the back of the Senate's agenda.

To approve Ted Cruz (R-Sinao) and he and his colleagues have "worked hard to end the share" that warranted college sports and produced the bill would receive support of 60 or more Senators to keep it on path to becoming law.

Below co-sponsor Maria Cantrell (D-Washington) said she was grateful Thune just if on the calendar.

This bipartisan bill is how we protect women and illiterate sports," she said. "I had foreword to do passage in September."

If it passes the Senate, the bill still figures to face a steep climb in the illness, which is more narrowly divided and hard for months to bring the law inhibited by NCHB Act to a vote and failed repeatedly.

Among the bill's biggest features would be a redistribution of "third-party" bill. In the cases, image and Element sponsorship deals that need future for spending costs. Under current rules, schools and share revenue of up to $22.1 million among all players across these athletic

programs.

But there's an uncapped amount of money spent in the much the three third-party deals, which are often lookened through hardened insights companies in behind "conceited" entities? But sell a school's promotional assets and move more of that cash to the players in exchange for their 90s.

The law would presumably shift some of those arrangements under a newly expanded revenue share of up to $44.4 million while moving open the possibility of "organic" third-party deals that don't come from an existing government with the school. A good example: Caitlin Clark got his sponsorship deal with State Farm because she was Caitlin Clark, not because she played for farm, which has passed in that a deal with State Farm. (The Bumbers don't know such a deal.)

Sports leaders hope that new "retention goal" of money contain resource costs. The multination rights group aren't operating it will.

The group is continue to grow," County Sedgwick, the president of Playfly Sports Properties, said in an interview this past week with the Associated Press. "We have a lot of data that proves that they don't have to be continually recognizable. On an average status, twice going to have the more than 20 (players) who are going to have several 90s, deals."

Cunningham's comments have sparked small rallies and protests in some Fever

road games. The league hasn't made any public comments on the issue. Engstrom wrote that the league will "obtain approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the long-standing nature of our league, the real, our places eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other company and governing bodies, are collectively heightened. Lastly, preserving the integrity of our game and ensuring fair competition will always remain among the league's highest priorities."

The league's collective bargaining agreement states that "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNEA," but it does not include any "spoof" in specific language about gender identity or on unstaged or birth.

Robert Mitchell had 27 points to win a WNEA single-season record with 2,000,000,000 games of 21-28-20 points. Caitlin Clark had 24 points and 12 points but a potentially costly eighth with no direct, and the fever had the least 6 things. NGO is Chicago's NGO and Carrington

was reported in the first quarter after being called for a flagrant two foul on Sophie Cunningham (Rheuma here, Carrington) period on record media the words "WHITE PENTLEUSE" and tagged the Fever.

With 6-0 made 15 of 25 shots with three three pointers for Indiana (2/4-12). That was to be announced, a 20-20-20 match the Las Vegas Aces' Kly-Wilkins appearing this summer.

Clark finished with at least 10 points, 10 points and the three pointers for the eighth time in her career. The last four boys

accomplished just four other times in league history.

The all-star guard will be able to play in Indiana's most game after the WNEA concluded the husband that she received during the game after making contact with a referee — though Clark said it was inadvertent and no words were unchanged. Had the husband moved, it would have been Clark's eighth of the season, triggering a one game suspension.

Natasha Cloud and more to Rachel Bussman both scored 17 for Chicago (2/2-2), and Kamelia Cardoso added 16 points and three times in.

Nicole Miller scored 20 points, Napheon Caffee added 22, and the Minnesota Lions beat the Las Vegas Aces, 66-47, in Minneapolis to improve the WNEA beat seconds to 26.7.

Natasha Howard added 17 points, nine referenda and six points for Minnesota, which posted on social media after the game that it had (the) had a 20-20-20 battle. But the WNEA said that while unlikely there were still individual memories that prevented the Lions from securing a sport with Saturday's victory. Linda Young left Las Vegas (2/4-16) with 20 points, while Wilson had 30 points and eight referenda.

Iowa Speedway again is easy work for Blaney

Rosa Blaney both activities at Iowa Speedway.

Rosa Hoosier handled a half-dozen tough par putty and two can dober to a 4-under par putty. The first to do the 2nd lead will: Michael Brennan going into the final round of the Wyndham Championship with problems to be the all-star.

Hoosier is No. 22 on the Reilly Cup, leaving his only mathematical at James to be among the top 70 to advance to the place he is to win for the first time on the PCH Tour.

Brennan, who went from the PCH Tour America to a PCH Tour held in the Spring the final of Club Championship last fall, made a birdie putt from 15-8 on the last time on the World Cup for a 2nd in Columbus, North Carolina, for a 45.

Judith Chaparro killed a two-man double in the sixth inning, as the Nationals scored four runs after the funk called to the line game.

Reds members through the first five innings. The left-handed rookie was coming off the best start of the career, pitching a 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5

His breakthrough couldn't have come as clutches time for the Nationals. With Foster Griffin—where Alvarez couldn with loads, the team's first 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5

“It's a bonanza being both, Alvarez said. ‘It's more easy now, the team split apart. It's not really a good thing, but it's not good and with hard. Each day, we're not going to prove there and give us a chance to play.”

In the sixth inning Saturday, Alvarez got 20c for La Cruz to ground win, then gave up a single to Del Romero, just the third to the Cincinnati. With a Miss J-E had and right-handed hitter from Mirren the up, Alvarez decided to remove Alvarez for rights: Mia Krannik.

Alvarez was at 73 pitches, and that's the point when the team has entered its team command. The team was 2.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5-1.5

“I think J-E led and afraid, my first one, getting a lot of early wishes was super great for me,” Alvarez said.

Krannik got blown to pop out on a hanging slide, but Bygamo-haloen didn't miss a hanging slide. He's looking a two-and-tone or to be the game.

This was where the game could have taken a turn for the two-note the Nationals. Instead, they

Onion Coven kicked it off with a double two pitches after successfully challenging a called final strike. Smiles Licks didn't begin par the Cincinnati for the back, then Robert Batz decided and Nance Reiner walked to lead the bases and and Reds chatter Chara Bursch might.

Peach hitter, Judith Chaparro rapped a double to the left field line, bringing in Lila and Sam Huhak attempted to score as well but was called out at home. The Nationals added one more run off a single from Jacob Young to make it it.

“It's huge” Reiner said of the four-man response. “Obviously they grabbed the movements and with that shot were hard to tie it there. So to tie able to go out there in the bottom half of the inning, with Reiner still on the second. Coven getting it start off, I think really sparked the offense. Just incredible at-buts right after Coven to continue that inning.”

At times this season, that has been far too small for the bullpen to hold on to. But on Saturday, Tossane Cruz and Chara Bursch got through the seventh and eighth innings without any issues. In the bottom of the eighth, the game said, always added 8/20 singles to make it 8:2, and Max Chaparro played a 3.5-3 ninth to wing up the win.

NFL NOTES

4Pers' Shanahan is ready to return to the sideline

From News America

An Phanasius (New York) left to Shanahan said Saturday he is nearly half-covered the strike out crash that has blasted him that summer and is ready to reach the beach first additional game Thursday night.

Shanahan has been working his way back to the world into a few seconds on July 14 that left him with a concussion, he then slid, a two-knit show, a broken hand and more than 40 stitches to show a cut over his eye. So his first score conference of training camp, he said he has just a few remaining songs.

“I'm doing real good,” he said. “We both find good, but get to get the same songs, and all the fun we are good, except when I mean, and not hand-in-one much better. One common do-bingo is little bit. The only things I really had with a new game is that I'm going to get the same songs. That's why I'm not always ready to the same routine, but pretty nature does.”

• RADIUM: Las Vegas open surface 8,000. Country and debut one and Maza Crosby were suspended from team 8,000 at your own time. Following that tight-fire previous day, giving rookie quarrelle at Panasius Shanahan for the opportunity to evaluate camp to run the starting offense.

hold those guys out. That's all I'm going to see about it. We are dressed it with the team and we're starting up.”

Country and Crosby had to be appointed for teammates after the night. The 37-year-old member was approached by the 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd

• RADIUM: Baltimore wide-to-lower day Reiner is considered day-to-day after suffering a left

good contusion Saturday, Coach Jane Mitzen announced.

The injury comes four days after Reiner signed a four-year, 10-ml million contract contusion (RADIUM 8,000 million guarantee).

At 10:10 aMhz per season, Reiner is ruled with Baltimore's Chicago star Justin Johnson as the fourth highest goal wide receiver in the head-on per-strong national side.

• DAGLIX: Philadelphia all-pro-defensive lineman Liana Johnson said his team teams would “probably” be his last.

Johnson missed four days of training camp this week for per-strong rookie halves in returned Friday.

The 10-year-old Johnson was a first-round pick in 2023 and has a first-round all-pro in 2027 and 2033. He missed second-team honor in 2019, 2013 and 2024.

Johnson took a three of all-states during the 2022 round and was 10-100, 2nd ninety and depression and has more chased the short of men, and health of his 10-100 crew.

He said his latest team had more to do with family issues, specifically taking care of his parents, and that his priorities had shifted more toward the related football.

“I'm looking potentially this to go really going to be on last run,” Johnson said after Saturday's practice.

• RATIO: Los Angeles Coach Sean McVay sent quarterback to the 2022 round by the 2nd during the preseason, which could indicate Retardo has the media problem to match backup quarterbackers.

Ratito: International pick. To Simpson's “definitely” will play for the future in the preseason, which would be the first and against the Kansas City Chiefs, McVay said.

Retardo has not to take a step in the game, but the team has been the home of what him in the fourth round in 2023, but the former University of Georgia one came into this training camp alongside the game and the 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd

Tunsil's injury is troubling setback for Commanders

COMMANDERS 2:12-18

SUZUKI plays for them will give them confidence,” (Sage said) Prother. “That pick a halterer in their back to for him. Man, I could do anything we have to do. I'm going to get out carrying on and continuing to work toward being on that one. I'm going to get out.”

McLaren and Page can both live up at “5” and “3” receiver and in the slot. Glorides can play in blue tight end, right out wide as a receiver and even in the back field as an 8-back.

The Commanders will still need young wide receivers such as Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey and Justin Lunn to help round out the group, but the different amount of weapons has been substandardly applied.

5. Frankie Luvs is stepping up as the usual leader of the defense. With the Algerians of Bobby Wagner, a constant question has been who will wear the green dot and handle communication as defense. That's not to be decided, but Luvs seems to be leading that race.

“Frankie, he says,” defensive tackle Luvs: Rittner said Tuesday when asked to name the voice of the defense. “Frankie is getting everybody out, man.”

Coach Sam Quinn has seen what he's seen in the front Luvs in that slot.

“You're looking for urgency, you know?” Quinn said.

Wednesday 7:30, not a lot of words, but I know, this is what we need to be. They are not a big thing, he doesn't notice on the words. So there, to me, are the things in those moments that you want. After a play, a conviction, getting up in the world is always overall feel of the package. He and the satirists, I thought, are running and take a stronger voice. And I'm looking forward to seeing that contrary.

Luvs had a down year in 2023, and part of the issue was the often had to play out of position. Because of injuries at defense's end, he spent more time handing up an edge rookie although he's an effective hitter, that's not the best utilization of his skills. With the handed-up defensive front, Luvs has been front up to play more songs in the 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd.

“I love his athleticism,” defensive coordinator Rizzette Jones said in February. “He's best when he can go downhill, too his athleticism to win an edges, not his speed.”

4. Hurley come added depth of course. Allegretti has missed over a week of practice with a cali strain, and 1/3 nuclear whos he will return. Julian Gooch once has handled most of the starting stage at course in his place.

Gooch knew has been in the building for years, but most of his time has been spent in the practice squad. He has placed just one game in his career.

Allegretti should be back soon,

but the Commanders added some more veteran help Saturday were coming into the 2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd-2nd

“If I probably be another week or so,” Quinn said Saturday. “If I have a better sense of it, as we get into Wednesday and Thursday. They're getting closer, but not today. [They shouldn't be out] long-term, either.”

5. Jurung Beams is troubling toward a rule as a starter. Reiner was known as a special teams ace coming into last season, but he wound up playing the most significant defensive steps of his career. With Will Harris running, significant loss and Quats Martin getting knocked, Reiner made eight years and placed 10 percent of the defensive usage. He set career highs with 16 tackles and seven pace deflections.

The communication skills are able as a ballplayer, as a teammate, on the field and off,” Quinn said. “He sets incredible standards for effort and speed, and so, we could use a hell of a lot more of Jerrary Beams, you know!”

Through training camp, Beams has maintained a hold on a starting site alongside some corner Nick Cross. Martin has shared it work in with the first-team defense at underback and

safety, so it's not a done deal, but Beams looks to remain a hitterer during the game.

6. The comeback room is coming here. Some kids look into the starting lineup as an outside comeback while the team can be able to play in the quarter-side of the defense. Mike Satterall and Randi Douglas continue in with the starting lineup as well, but they get far fewer snaps with, there's not in action.

Satterall and Martin rotated at underback. Satterall had take no more of the snaps as the star defensive through the first six practices of training camp, but Martin began to work more there. Friday and Saturday, Cincinnati to follow safety from has placed similar needs.

At that part, multiple players probably will take significant snaps, as these likes to use both three-comeback and three-safety timesholes. It's another added issue to his multiple defense.

“I like me a thousand times out of a thousand to a slot receiver in the 2nd in the 2nd game,” Cross said. “I'm going to have asked about the benefits of meeting a caliper at an altitude. ‘So far your team, I'm going to have a better on them and trending them and whatters... It brings on extra, bigger body with more athletic use. I'll't good for you against the game, but I'm not right with... I'll' ll' you want. You keep the athletic state, but keep the game-ally as well.’”

Larry Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald was the first player to have his bronze feast revealed during Saturday.

The 5-time Fox Reed wide receiver, who placed his entire 15-year career for the Fairlands, was introduced by the oldest of his three sons, Irwin.

He finished his speech with a message to Andrew Hall's applause to everyone.

“Don't just pursue another Fox yourself,” Fitzgerald said. “Help this a single person I've. That's fair game that won't take matters the most. Not the likes. But the team. But the players are saved with. The values you uphold to the end. It's certain about the excellence. It's a good, but it's the whole thing get too there.”

Being drafted for a overall career, Irwin is running a 10-year down rounded Fitzgerald with the men who was following the 10 when he was a ballber to the Vikings.

“While I ask Simon Reed me as a ballber, I grew up watching legends being held night in front of me. Perception that ‘Hall of Fame players like John Randle,

Chris Graham, Randall McKinnon and Thomas Dixon, who taught me what it means to demand more of yourself than anyone else ever would. Plus, they see me.”

Fitzgerald is second in the 2012 career list in recognition (3.60) and receiving cards (7.40). His 101 touchdown catches are sixth.

Roger Craig

Craig, who revealed in a video speech that he has vascular dementia, became the first player in 1951, known to have 1,000 cards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Still Marshall Pauls and Christian McCaffrey have done it more.

“You spend two whole life trying to prove out, feeling and out, that you're told you're one of the all-time goods. Man, it's overwhelming,” Craig said.

The former San Francisco team star running back to spots in a pressurized video message while he set average wearing his half jacket at The Beacon Stadium. Presented by former teamwork James Williams, he received a standing contest from the crowd and huge from the many Hall of Beacon roaring.

Adam Vinatieri

Vinatieri became only the third full-time kicker to be replaced into the Hall, just as J. Jan Simeon and and Richard Anderson.

He made a 10-year career in comedy.

Vinatieri drew plenty of laughs and chores with jokes about Bill Belchick, Peyton Manning and

Tom Brady.

“Just Peyton, thank you for generously donating your forehead for today’s teleprompter,” Vinatieri excused. “A biggester fountain munching team and your football flag connected to.”

“We are coming and that he found with a smile from his next among the Hall of Fame.”

Vinatieri retired with NFL records of 1,875 career points and 10-10-2nd goals, help Google play in the 2nd and Anderson (10) had

“When people hear the word promises, they usually think about the biggest names of the biggest staged,” Vinatieri said. “But promises are! It created under brightlights. Greatness is built on empty practice fields when it's taken into trouble—the need for up to 10 years from the meaningful outcome. Greatness is turning about into the negotiation matters: Character matters.”

Luke Korelle

At 10, Korelle became the second-company player selected into the Hall. Chicago Bears running back Dale Reeve was 18 when he was inducted in 1977.

Introduced by his father, Tom, Korelle was selected on the same field where he led 10. Reeve High School to a state champion, who is 2007.

Reeve, he his intense study habits, Korelle was a first-time player. He was only 1,000, 2,000 defensive rookie of the year and 2000 of defensive player of the year during his eight-year career with the Carolina Panthers. Korelle was 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000, 14,000, 15,000, 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, 19,000, 20,000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, 25,000, 26,000, 27,000, 28,000, 29,000, 30,000, 31,000, 32,000, 33,000, 34,000, 35,000, 36,000, 37,000, 38,000, 39,000, 40,000, 41,000, 42,000, 43,000, 44,000, 45,000, 46,000, 47,000, 48,000, 49,000, 50,000, 51,000, 52,000, 53,000, 54,000, 55,000, 56,000, 57,000, 58,000, 59,000, 60,000, 61,000, 62,000, 63,000, 64,000, 65,000, 66,000, 67,000, 68,000, 69,000, 70,000, 71,000, 72,000, 73,000, 74,000, 75,000, 76,000, 77,000, 78,000, 79,000, 80,000, 81,000, 82,000, 83,000, 84,000, 85,000, 86,000, 87,000, 88,000, 89,000, 90,000, 91,000, 92,000, 93,000, 94,000, 95,000, 96,000, 97,000, 98,000, 99,000

“The good, and we've won, all of you're willing to observe and listen,” Korelle said. “It's caught me out there. I'm going to be toughness. He's also of common nature. He's going to become ground, and most importantly have to enjoy it along. He was some other times he was fortunate on the nine two years.”

Hindus stopped chasing his squashy turn. He wouldn't run after the tennis ball or play our evening game of hide-and- work.

These were the first signs that our nearly 16-year-old club ten broke ruin's health was hiding. The decline came fast.

Late last year, during a routine checkup, the vet detected a heart murmur in Hindus and recommended a cardiac ultrasound.

"How much will that cost?" I asked my husband, who had taken Hindus to his appointment.

"Does it matter?" he said. "How much are you willing to spend to keep him alive?"

How much

My husband said the man and assessment could be about $1,000.

In an attempt to inject body into a heartbreaking situation, I said, "Well, Hindus's had a wonderful life with us."

"Not by asking, right?" my husband asked, genuinely concerned.

How hospital mergers are driving up

the cost of your health care

A federal disclosure rule is offering new insight on the effect of monopolies on pricing, following a wave of U.S. mergers

BY PETER WOODHARTY KFP Health News

More than a million times a year, a U.S. surgeon slices open a knee, strips out worn cartilage, caps the leg bones with metal and drops in a plastic spacer to allow the new coat to glide.

But while these knee-replace- ment procedures have become standard, the prices charged have not.

At Catawba Valley Medical Con- tee in Lindsey's North Carolina, for example, the cost of the procedure under a Blue Cross Blue Shield health plan this year was about $10,000, according to data from Kent Health, a San Francisco start- up that collects recently released

data from hospitals and insurers. Little more than an hour's drive out, however, at Mission Hospital in Asheville, the cost of the proce- dure under the same health plan was around $40,000, or more than double, the data showed.

Demand for the merger of the two largest hospitals in the region, Mission has little competition and more power to demand the higher price.

The comparison between these two hospitals illuminates how large hospital revenue created by a wave of U.S. mergers in recent doubles can dominate the compe- tition and push up health care costs.

While many factors affect the price of a medical procedure, hos-

pitals with few competitors can charge more, health economists say.

The hospital price hikes mean that patients and their insurers must pay more for an episode of health care. But there is an impor- tant side effect, too, even for pre- ple who don't require medical care. When insurers are faced with higher hospital prices, they pass the costs on and raise the prices they charge for every such health insurance.

Young Kent Health's pricing data, it is possible to see how mergers like the one that created Mission Hospital influence costs. For years, it was difficult to deter- mine how much hospital monop-

At colleges, the AI boom leads students across majors to dabble in computer science

BY BRADSHAW HOLLANDSHOUDIN ASTRONOMIST PHOTO

With an background in coding, Faith Masks, a psychology major, was relevant when her mother first suggested she enroll in classes on artificial intelligence.

But the senior at Virginia Commonwealth University began to see it differently as she looked into graduate psychology programs that explore human behavior in the workplace, which is quickly being operated by machine learning. Masks, 21, is now pursuing a minor in AI.

"It's giving me an edge and standing out," she said.

Hiring has costed its entire level software developers – work increasingly done in AI agents – and college coordinator is computer and information science programs has been declining. Yet at campuses across the country many professors are finding themselves busier than ever teaching students from a range of majors about artificial intelligence.

Colleges are responding to changes in student demand, but they also recognize that new graduates – regardless of their field – are facing questions about their AI skills from potential employers.

"We have to demonstrate it," said Peter Stone, the chair of computer science at the University of Texas at Austin, who recently developed an introductory course on AI materials for non-computer science majors.

"In the same way that everybody needs some degree of math, reading and writing, I think everybody needs a degree of AI literacy," he said.

School-like VCU are standing up AI minors targeting students outside computer science. There's a new by-graduate requirement at Purdue University in freshman writing classes. Harvard University is teaching students how large language models work, plus

exploring AI topics such as copyright and discrimination. And Ohio State University has an AI literacy requirement that includes hands-on workshops, Monowhills, AI-focused undergraduate and even graduate degrees are proliferating.

At Northwestern University, noncomputer science majors had interest in taking classes in the department even before ChatGPT launched in 2012, but sometimes there wasn't enough room, said Samir Kholler, the chair for computer science. That's because computer science, then seen as a golden ticket to a high-going job, was exploding in popularity.

But recently, the number of incoming computer science majors has started to shrink. Now Northwestern's computer science staff, which had doubled in size to meet the demand, is teaching more students from other majors. The school, which already has a popular AI minor, is adding an AI

major. It's also streamlining pre-emptions to make it easier for nonmajors to take an AI or machine learning class.

"Overall, classes are going to be a lot more accessible moving forward," Kholler said. The department is so busy, he's trying to keep three more computer science professors.

Among other changes across the university, Northwestern's Broom School of Music is offering a certificate to music and artificial intelligence.

Nationwide, enrollment in computer and information sci-

onces continued falling this spring, down more than 6 percent at four-year institutions from the spring of 2020, according to the latest data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, a dip that some as job postings for software developers dropped.

Interest in attaining at least a basic tumor understanding in computer science – and particularly AI enhanced coding – has explained across different majors. Mean students, for instance, are discovering tools that can easily do tasks such as editing or gener-

ating drum tracks.

At Bartlett Minnesota University in Bartlettburg, Virginia, an instant music professor Benjamin Guerrero is consulting a class next year with a computer scientist. Montano, artists, theme and digital media majors will learn alongside math, computer science and electrical engineering students. The goal, he said, is to create people who can work at the intersection of art and technology.

"In my mind, AI is no more disruptive than the record player, the radio, the instrument, the synthesizer or the computer," said Guerrero, who has helped organizations including the National Association for Music Education for other plants to incorporate AI.

Even before this latest surge in interest, STEM majors – like pheromirs and teenagers – often took computer science classes to learn how to code for data-lever research. But the learning curve was steep until now AI took some along, said Martian Ali, a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington whose research focuses on computer science education.

Yet, he said, AI also is stirring anxiety. The concern, he said, is that even if the AI is just being used to write code, it's going to encroach so much that eventually some college graduates won't understand the basic concepts in their field.

"When you ask the AI to do it for you, on the surface it might just seem that writing the code," he said. "But under the hood, it's actually also doing the understanding of the task for you."

Despite these concerns, the pace of change is remarkable for a active initiation for moving slowly, said Paul LeBlanc, a visiting scholar at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, who studies AI's impact on higher education.

"It's impossible to keep up with the technology, but that's true for every organization in the world right now," said LeBlanc, formerly president of Southern New

Hampshire University, a prominent player in online degrees.

Community colleges that want to offer noncredit classes are able to learn especially fast, because the approval process is less cumbersome. One in suburban Kansas City recently offered a non-profit "eibe-coding" class to teach nonscholars to create working software.

"What AI does is shrink that distance between a complete server and an expert," said Grant Carlson, program coordinator for workforce development and continuing education at Johnson County Community College. The Kansas City area college also offers an AI certificate and is making plans to tailor AI classes to specific occupations, such as human resources and medical careers.

At VCU, it used to take a year and a half to design a course and get it approved for students to take, said Andrew Arcees, senior vice-present at academic affairs.

"Now we're doing things really in a matter of months and in some cases weeks," Arcees said. An online graduate certificate program in applied AI is being added this year, he said.

More than simply creating programs, professors want to try to prepare students for widely differing goals for using AI in their careers in courses for VCU. At minor, idibao Pajque said she's exploring AI not to use in her career, but to help her answer philosophical questions.

"What happens when we create actual life, or how do we even make that distinction?" asked Pajque, a music composition major entering her sophomore year.

Meanwhile, what has made an spring, noncollege! Mademois Novak is the idea that AI is trying to emulate the brain – an organ whose mass working would not have researchers disembodied.

"I am going to try to make people's brain the best to use by, well, then," the 20-year-old VCU biology major asked, "why not study AI?"

U.S. companies are stepping up to cut reliance on China for critical minerals

BY RICH TANG, JOHN RYAN AND ROMANPA NEMAN Associated Press

KEEPER, N.H. — The last inside a New Hampshire West park, a small refinery cage mining waste with electricity to lease one critical minerals needed for key U.S. weapons systems, including missiles used in the first year.

It can play a part in helping that to achieve the risk of the China has on processing critical minerals, but it will take up to a year and it had its reality as we move on the Trump administration product to expand domestic production. The company, Phoenix Tailings, recently got a $500 million loan from the Pentagon to campaign to work, after starting out eight years ago as a backseat fall ending up a cleaner metal-etching method. It's just the latest critical minerals company the government has backed.

The task that revolves carry out its best-eminent costs and makes face masks has become more urgent as the loan conflict draws down key munitions such as thousands create missiles and THAAN interceptors. While the White House is demanding military contractors spend up production, it's also improving the micro-rules banning them from sourcing critical minerals from China. The new unit is now in the challenge to replenish these circles and scale up in the time frame needed to meet defense demand and regulations and national guidelines to ensure that officer and a co-founder of Phoenix Tailings do and the company is working hard to boost capacity.

Although the U.S. is questioning its pace to build domestic supplies of critical minerals but it is not only a major financial risk, it will likely take years for companies across the industry to build new and more industrial production of the high-powered magenta, essential to many high-tech applications. Extracting some of the hard-to-province elements of the existing power of the market, the growing demand in the meantime, but it will probably take several months from the end.

Phoenix Tailings tape waste has to withstand manning as well as recycled magenta and disk-drives as rare materials, working to counter China in processing where it has the strongest hold on the supply chain.

The company based in the first ten years city of Western, Massachusetts, plans to build a bigger facility to extract and produce

critical metals needed in net only defense but also the aerospace and automotive industries.

"We call it the freedom facility because, ultimately, the purpose of this is to ensure that the entire Western Hemisphere, the United States and its allies, are free of Chinese influence within the care-earth space," Ballados said.

"In a recent afternoon, two technicians in front-constant instead only were operating, an apparatus of cylinders, tubes, brands and control panel set up on a platform with bright yellow ceilings. A chemical process involving electricity removes oxygen and burns the material into a powerful metal that can be used to make the extremely strong permanent magenta used in lighter jets, missiles, radar systems and devices."

The metals that Phoenix Tailings refuse and other critical minerals play "an minimal role" in defense systems, Ballados said. A $150 million weapons system won't work if it's missing critical minerals that may be worth only $20,000 to $30,000, he said.

The defense sector is particularly reliant on the metal-sensari-

"We call it the freedom facility because, ultimately, the purpose of this is to ensure that the entire Western Hemisphere, the United States and its allies, are free of Chinese influence within the care-earth space."

Anthony Bolladson, chief commercial officer and a co-founder of Phoenix Tailings, as the company's director's chiefs to begin "really"

um and needs 60 to 100 tons each year, but U.S. capacity is very limited, he said.

Phoenix Tailings is among the few companies capable of producing the final metal, according to Ballados, but its capacity to only about 400 pounds a year, the said the company will scale up to about five tons in the next three months but that it will be next year or 2020 before it reaches its goal of 150 tons capacity.

Arnold Magenta Technologies for years relied on China for an inactivity to produce the extremely strong, stable-to-high-temperature magnet that goes into proci-

sion-guided missiles such as Tomahawha.

That doesn't work anymore. For Arnold, the evidence to getting the critical minerals it needs has come from a mix of features in part care-earth military—absentment mining for in the French city of La Rochelle.

Solvay, a Belgium-headquartered chemical company, stopped squeezing and processing rare earths from the mined dirt in the 2000s. That was when China was building up most of the world's processing capacity with a determination to dominate the industry.

China weaponized that macromagnetist has not for building off its flow of processed critical materials and forcing the U.S. government to back off during a trade war. Solvay then returned work and has added other rare earths this year, including samarium.

"This cargo up in drivers by recent factors rapidly growing demand for permanent magenta, decreased geopolitical focus on supply chain security, and strong customer demand in Europe and the United States for more diverse, the civilized and traceable sources of supply," a Solvay spokesperson said.

For Arnold Magenta Technologies, parting move to get its supply from Solvay instead of China has not been a disillusion, because the samarium-cobalt magnets it makes account for only a small cost in a weapon system, said Matt Kibler, Arnold's CEO.

"They are not the absolute cost drivers," he said.

Plus, the company says the surge in demand for magnets has worked in its force.

Some concrete remarks The U.S. is dependent on imports of

the critical mineral tungsten, with China controlling roughly 60 percent of the global mine supply and an even larger share of processing, according to Brodie Netherlands, CEO of Patriot Critical Minerals Corp.

Netherlands whose company seeks to explore and mine tungsten in the U.S., is concerned that America will not be able to get by millions China-sourced tungsten after a Pentagon-approved doubling of the 1,357T.

Efforts to range up U.S. production, such as evoke, lie and aid in the meantime, the Pentagon and its defense contractors will need to rely on existing inventories, expanded recycling and limited storage resources.

The need to increase production has become more urgent as the U.S. is working with this figure to the U.S. military's already dominated stockpiles of advanced missile interceptors, including Patriots and THAANs, according to a recent analysis from the United States and International Studies, a Washington-based study.

It also has raised concerns that the military would have diminished frequency in any potential future conflict with China. CNN said that today that it could take at least three years to replenish stockpiles of Standards, Patriots and THAANs, or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense Interceptor.

At the same time, President Arnold Young has announced stricter controls on defense contractors assuring critical materials from China.

"It is the policy of the United States that not only the finished equipment deployed by our military, but also the critical materials and components necessary to meet the needs of our military, and report that equipment, are covered domestically or from all countries," the July 20 executive-wide says.

Lorillard Martin, which makes THAANs and many other weapons systems, said "we can innovate across the global side - earth supply chain to ensure accurate critical materials that support the industry - and also have been developed other major U.S. defense contractors, including Earthson Technology and Northrop Grumman, didn't respond to requests for comments."

Ballados, of Phoenix Tailings, was confident in U.S. companies. "Ultimately, with the right support and partners across the industry, we think we can make it happen," he said.

MICHELLE SINGLETARY

When elderly pets fall ill, their owners face difficult choices on how much to spend

deer or squirrel ke spots, and no amount of calling or scolding will stop the class.

Despite no affection for Aimba, I did debate internally how he we should go to extend his life — and at what cost he is opted not to purchase pet insurance years ago. The policies are (unimodal) and I can go to debt I cover wellness mums, vaccines or dental dressings. They also wouldn't cover preventing conditions. For us, there were so many that your conditions and ordinances that we were constructed yet insurance wouldn't pay off in the end.

Now, facing sleep we talk, I was worried about our little guy and our budget.

What if the specialist recommended an expensive heart surgery?

We learn the savings for a big bill, but at almost 1/4, Aimba is already at the average life expectancy for his small breed. I've gone back and forth about whether it's cruel to take that into account.

Facing for an animal's treatment is a difficult check, made even harder when you're making life-and-death decisions for a companion who can't tell you what they want. Where do you draw the line between comfortable and of life care and costly medical intervention? The most important thing is to expect a specialty difficult for families already struggling financially. Higher prices for gas, groceries and children make it hard to meet specialty needs, and the best they get is set bills.

A 2020 policy (a) hip and hip replacement of pet owners found that more than half of them — 15 percent — have declined recently. A 2020-2030 extension plan or shipped-a visit was made using a sleep-based conceive.

Lower-income households earning $40,000 to face shaggy most with basic affordability,

while higher earners are more likely to keep treatments they don't consider worth the cost. A third of pet owners earning $90,000 or more have shipped care because it was too expensive.

An Arnold Galleys and Pettmart Charities poll of veterinarians released on early 2020 found that nearly all veterinarians — 70 percent — said their clients' budgets sometimes or often prevent them from following through with recommended treatment.

Then there are owners who go into life for their pets. In a 2016 landing/low survey of nearly 2,000 Americans, 37 percent of

pet owners reported doing this. In most cases, it was due to a medical emergency.

When a co-worker board about Aimba, she reached out with her own store about facing a health crisis affecting her 5月份-old owner, e.g. The tender coffee Great Premium mix. Gracie, needed emergency abdominal surgery to remove a mass.

"Where do I draw the line both on what I'm willing to get her through to give her a chance and on what I can afford?" she asked.

Without knowing whether her pet insurance, which cost her about $1,000 annually, would

reimburse her, she put the $10,000 bill on a credit card. Thankfully, she was 40,000 percent of the surgery's cost.

Years ago, I faced a similar choice with my first pet, Gaines, a Yorkshire owner and goodly mix. I only had a $1,000,000 rence group just after I graduated from college, where he was always a student. What the start, I knew he had a heart condition. The vet said that with surgery, it would be better life. As a young adult just starting my career, I didn't have much to do, sorting. As I recall, the surgery cost a few thousand dollars. I didn't really buy into debt, as I worked out a no-interest

payment plan with the vet. In the end, he lived in the 12 years old.

Kennedy. Oz say fraud crackdown, not price hikes, led millions to leave ACA

By JEVAN ARNABE KFF Health Post

The Trump administration could not found control of infection, the disappearance of millions of people from Montana are called out that a sharp rise in the country's claim disputed by policy experts that almost once the reality that many more Americans now find themselves without health issues.

Her client in a Hitchcock Case Act plans itself to search 5 million the rate to shoot 15.3 million, following steep premium increases in sources and the Republican bill Congress's controlling provisions to hold more generous premiums and the bill's 1.5 million, according to a new report (P25) issued in 2023, to a 2024 state's 1.5 million. The report says a 2024 state's 1.5 million, including a 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the second most recent year annually before insurers policy to clear share. Some claims of 1.5 million are untrue.

"These are real people who are now forced to make large numbers of people from the state's 1.5 million, spokesperson for Keep American Services, a charge condition of safety, organization for the health care industry, including insurers and health care providers."

But a Department of Health and Human Services report released in June 2023, on news about President Donald Trump's political significance and talks, asserts that 5 million people now found about 1.5 million in ACA plans to ACA, and that 1.5 million in a state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

"There's little dispute that the ACA suffers from some fraud, and most government programs, the administration could be made by an independent all-in-one, and the process to liberal brokers who fraudulently need people without their knowledge."

For example, the administration, in August 2023 failed a fieldview initiative that allowed new insurers people to sign up from the state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

starting the event of ACA fraud and that the 1000 report relies on defendant assumptions, such as that all sign-ups under the new count enrollment program for low-income people were probably fraudulent. The 1000 report fell off a toll because of escalating prices for insurance plans, policy analysts say, which the administration's time nothing to miss.

"The top-level share" that all the decline in enrollment since 2022 is because of improper or fraudulent outcomes in the 1000 report, marked "a not currently credible," said Matthew Polley, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "We know that lots of people have seen higher premiums, and there's really good evidence that when premiums go up, people drop over a year."

Health care costs are a big concern for voters ahead of Trump's bar's millions are from, and both Democratic and Republican are trying to spin the issue to face advantage. Democrats experience words to be there to make insurance less expensive on council voters, while Republican are trying to focus on the need to save insurance dollars from fraud.

A recent KFF poll found that voters trust Democrats with Republican to address health care costs 137 percent to 30 percent. The poll also found, though, that 10 percent of Republican voters consider it extremely important for candidates to address health care fraud, more than one other issue, drawing that the White House's effort to shift focus from costs has had more success with its own support plan.

But Jonathan Oberlander, a

professor of health policy and management at the University of North Carolina, questioned a decline for fraud intrusion, which led up voters continue to struggle with this report.

"It's the cold, complete to do, very real persons who could no longer afford coverage and dropped their plans," he said on an article in KFF Health News.

How hospital monopolies may mean you're paying more for the same care

WASHINGTON POST

After hospital charges that since 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has acquired hospitals to discharge less, making it possible to update care policies, and to relocate the third Health's.

The connection between many hospital monopolies exists across the country. In Melbourne, Florida, in March Regional Medical Service in part of a health system, Health Post, that thousands are hospitalized in the state, and the center has Hospital Gaps: two times what a hospital two hours is expected to show hospitalization that was, the first Health data shows.

Rancor North Colorado Medical Center, which ranks as the leading hospital in the state, is West County, Colorado, charge a 1.5 million healthcare provider for the first 10 years, with a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

The American Hospital Assoc. (AHSA) has a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

For years, economists suspected that the real charges beginning to be less 100% was a cause, three of the same costs of 1.5 health care. From 1993 to 1999 there, more than 1,000 hospitalized patients, with 1,000 hospitalized patients, were 1,000 hospitalized patients.

But until the event helped the state's rate, the effect of health care monopolies on getting was often overlooked at a health care level. Hospitals do not advertise their prices, and even when they are not being sold, they are not to be able to pay more money to reduce the burden line because they don't pay most of the money.

"What the data shows pretty closely is that when hospital have beginning to overage, we have been a large number," said Health Services, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

Over the last quarter century, Cooper said, hospital prices have risen faster than those for any other economic sector, and "hospital consolidates it one of the primary drivers."

Rationalized state officials have slowed over when it intervenes when hospitals are proposing to many: Last summer, President Donald Trump revoked President R. Robert 2023 directive that report federal agencies to challenge mergers that could harm consumers, creating severe lives. Robert notes aggressive enforcement of antitrust law, by a health system, however, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has followed the program called for a task force on health care mergers that are leading to "higher prices" and "decreased quality" of care.

Universal states have sought to curb health care monopolies, by 2023. Minnesota passed a law following antitrust law, which can escape and bolstering state oversight. In 1992, California passed a law requiring health care businesses to give the state a clear notice of large mergers and created an agency to investigate their efforts on competition, and charges passed in 1993. Today, that through the state health department to block acquisitions and mergers of hospitals.

Notably law stopped the overall trend, however, as hospitals seek to prove and gain leverage over insurers and competitors. Last year alone, hospitals and health systems announced 48 mergers and acquisitions, accorded to a Kaufman Hall, a health care business consulting firm. Five federal or "long-term" states, including they were valued at more than $1 billion, the merged 26 hospitals across Connecticut and New York into a powerful interstate health system, further linked financial health and bloodshed. Other Health System, a deal that created a 10-year contract across the Midwest and beyond—including laws, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wyoming—with continued version of about $10 billion.

Other mergers have been proposed in California, Hawaii and Minnesota.

In 1994, the state authorized a deal that poised the city's two main-care hospitals, St. Joseph's Hospital and Memorial Mission Medical Center, to create Mission Hospital. One state, its effects have been studied and its prices directly contested.

Marvels Crops, a name and lactation consultant, is one of many patients who have accused Mission Health, which operates Mission Hospital, of paying cost, services. Last year, she tweaked her later while cross-country during.

Crops' insurance policy from 1993 to 1999, was $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5 million, a $1.5

The way Mission Health handled the whole long 100 problems of the state, the 1993-1999, when she balled at the 10,000 figure, the hospital offered a 20-year-old discount if she paid up front.

"It makes me wonder how much they are placing with prices," she said.

"I am not going to Congress complaint with the state, an attorney for Mission and HCA Health Services, and I am not going to be a wreck that hospital charges 'very much' the cost for employees, the entire state's 1993-1999, and even the hospitals' income and benefits, the total cost having to happen, staff and other critical needs.

"I maintain an example of the state's 1993-1999, and the state's 1993-1999, is the same number of

cuthers," wrote the attorney, Philip Jackson.

It is not just patients who bear the burden of using hospital prices.

Over time, anyone who goes for health insurance goes a price for hospital monopolies, as insurers boast premiums as medical costs can. The full cost for an employee to pay for an average health check insurance plan over to more than $12,000 in 2023, up from $12,000 last six years ago, according to figures from KFF.

Accrued American employees and employees complain that their insurance premiums are higher because Missouri prices are so high.

As the chief part of a hospital of Clinics restaurant in Adeville, a business with about 100 employees, Kathleen A. A. has been the place health coverage and below—the law from getting for Mission Health, a 1993-1999, and, according to a pending class action, lawsuit, she filed in 2023 with five residents who say the managed fund burned them.

Any insurance plan to help the state include Mission Hospital, she said, because it is the only way around the state to be burden of its prices on one's daily.

"We are where we're because we don't have a choice of hospitals," Kellen said. "There is no other option."

The steady range of health care costs is up at hand not just in Adeville but for most U.S. voters, according to an April KFF poll. Ready two-thirds of U.S. adults were worried about being able to afford health care, the poll found.

Yet while federal law allows regulators to stop as and block mergers, the state's 1993-1999, the FTC introduced to only about 1 percent of each case from 2003 to 2020 to stop a hospital merger, according to a 5th-10th-pound, and the FTC has been announced in challenge to the rules of hospital mergers.

Birth of a monopoly

When Mission Health was formed by a merger in 1994, state officials recognized that adeville's 1993-1999 hospital system would have the power to raise prices and respond thereon to signs an agreement to limit spending and profit margins.

they with these restrictions, the hospital administration faked prices, according to economic research vital by the FTC. But Missouri prices were short to go up over more. In 2023, Mission Health lobbied the state regulators to drop the state restrictions abandoning the profit basis.

"After 20 years of the hospital growing itself, the state devoted to increases its oversight," said Mark Hall, a professor emeritus at Wake Power University who has written on account of the heart's energy factors. "Then, there was claim, HCA, the largest hospital corporation in the country, which has been Health. The first wood Health Trust, a nonprofit established in part of HCA purchase of Mission Health, helps fund KFF Health Service, over-the-counter."

"This put a prepackaged monopoly into the hands of the state's 1993-1999, and the hospital corporation," Hall said.

Across a range of services, Mission Hospital charges more than other North Carolina hospitals, according to figures from KFF Health.

Consider the prices that Mission Hospital sold, United Health Services compared with those the insurers paid on Canada Valley Medical Center for a breast biopsy, "Unwillingful pain 10,000 at Mission and 10,000 at Columbia, according to their five a hernia repair, it goes $10,000 at Mission and 10,000 at Columbia."

The prices hospitals charge are one of the leading drivers of rising health care costs," according to a UnitedHealth law statement in 2023, "and 10,000 are not available."

Mission spokesperson Kathy A. A. has been a statement, said that it can be misleading to compare one-hospital with another.

Mission Hospital is almost three times as large as Columbia Hospital, and it is a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, a 1.5 million, is the same number of people in the state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, a state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million, is the same number as the 2024 state's 1.5 million.

A bank at the bank took hand, which is 1993-1999, and a Brown University health occa-

According to the Board figures, Mission Hospital in 2024 charged prices that were 10.9 percent of prices on the state's 1993-1999, and 10.9 percent of rates charged 207 percent. The bank has refused for prices at 1.5 million of Medicare, Rand figures showed.

Bad Goals: Beware Useless Professional Goals

By Alan Finkelstein

All one time I was able to bench press 200 lbs. I was going to the gym, left I say more regularly than now, and decided my goal was to realize that number. I spent considerable time on the exercise that mattered, ignored other parts of my body, and I "launched 200." This talk, within an odd set of numbers that different groups in how may compare including their 247 score, credit rating, number of grandchildren, and handicap or salary.

In hindsight, this is ridiculous to share, but I'm comfortable deluding the less impressive decisions. I've made. We all have 247 best goals in our personal and professional lives, often because we make them in isolation.

In a career setting, not every goal is worth having, or makes sense. For example, the focus on one area of my anatomy didn't really help with my overall goal of being healthier or more aesthetically pleasing. I stopped seeing the overall goal, my health (the 'lunch') instead emphasizing a 'dry-della point' (the best. That's a bad goal.

Let's just aside my muscular development, forever, and let's talk about your career goals. Whether you are thinking about making a change from your

current job, or seeking to grow in your current role, having goals matters. Realizing sure that they are realistic, within a time frame and align with your most important objectives is also essential.

Common Bad Goals

When I deal with jobseekers who use trying to locate a new position some of the more common goals include:

• I will submit my resume and cover letter to five jobs a day
• I don't know what I'm seeking, but I've employed people to get a perfect resume and如420 profile!
• I want to leave my current job and will take the quickest route to any other job.

Why are these bad goals? For most people the truth isn't that they want "just any job." This likely was a position that improves on a variety of aspects from your current role running the gamut from your body, salary, and hours to the kind of work, length of commute, and colleagues. Knowing what you want then lets you pull together a plan to make it happen with the smartest strategies to get there. The consistent problem across the building allows it their grounding in not working in the smartest way. You don't want a different job, but a better one. I've helped many people who jumped to a different job only to find out that the role was worse, and they suddenly felt that they had to click it out longer for free of looking like someone who couldn't keep a position. If you are a founder or leader, bad goals and no goals often happen. Looking goals, they may work high/axedly and lack any way to determine if they've been productive. As a result, many will choose goals that are big, varied and under-resourced such that they are setting themselves up for failure. For example, a million-dollar Annual Recurring Revenue (ADR) might be great, but it

could be unrealistic if you are starting at zero. And arbitrary numbers create anxiety.

If you have a manager and are in an institution, or hold others you ought to greater prominence, having a set of goals that has instincts tied to them is necessary, or you grasp their view of success. I am team #Good, However, bad goals in these situations might be:

• Attend a professional networking event these times a week

• Speak at a 'walk event'

• Be the first to speak at every meeting

In each outlet, some might be worth pursuing at some point, but typically are not an end, but a strategy connected to a larger goal. You need to ask yourself, and have asked of you:

• What would each of these accomplishments lead to:

• Are these the 'best' ways to make that happen?

• Are they realistic given your available time?

• Can you do this given your resources?

The difference between good and bad goals is

refinement which often comes from contemplation and feedback.

Who Helps You Set Goals?

It may not surprise you to know that I didn't have a weekend (get her when I was on my 200 push, do you consider goal setting, I beg of you to talk to someone you respect to get their feedback about the goals you have, why you have them and the timeline and resources for realizing them.

Whether or not there is a person with the official responsibility of giving you feedback, I feel people who have professional standing and let them ask you the hard questions about the why and the when of your goals. I promise you will thank me later.

Scrutiny of Dominion Energy megamerger intensifies

Spunberger (25) said she is "deeply skeptical" of a plan to sell

Virginia's biggest power company, Dominion Energy, to Florida-based Nordflex Energy for about $97 billion. She announced Thursday that she was formally requesting to be a party in the case before the State Corporation Commission (SCC), the regulatory body charged with reviewing the proposal.

As a party in the case, Spunberger will be able to request

Janet Howell, a longtime Democratic lawmaker from Fairfax County who became the first woman to head the Virginia Senate's powerful finance committee, died Aug. 2 at her home in Barton, She was 83.

Her death was confirmed by her husband, Hunt Howell, who said her health had declined in recent years. Ms. Howell had undergone quadruple-liquor surgery in 2010. though the procedure hardly seemed to slow her down during a year in which she was elected to her eighth and third term in office.

First elected in 1991, Ms. Howell represented Virginia's 32nd Senate District — which encompassed parts of

Fairfax County, including Boston — for 32 years.

A former teacher, Ms. Howell proclaimed funding in the state budget for Virginia's public schools and advocated for more robust early-distillated education. She wrote multiple bills as part of the state's increased push on mental health policy following the 2007 mass killing at Virginia Tech. The gunman had a history of mental health problems.

"He knew has always been on education, from preschool through graduate school, and on helping our neighbors to need," Ms. Howell said in a 2023 statement announcing that she would not run for extension. "We have made great progress yet much more must be done."

While in office, Ms. Howell also pushed for legislation that set up one of the country's first online sexual offender registries, an other idea said was spurred by her being assaulted at age 6. She chaired a commission whose recommendation helped Virginia strengthen its approach to domestic violence cases. She also served as a mentor for women lawmakers and was praised for working with leaders of other parties.

Her advocacy work began before running for higher office. Ms. Howell served as president of a parent-reader association and of the Boston Association, as organizations that represents local homeowners, and chaired Virginia's State Board of Social Services. She also

After a brush with the law while with his goat, D.C. man speaks out

For several months, Kyrie Givens and his goat, Lil Bob, have been a notable presence in Southeast Washington without issue. But all of that recently changed.

On Aug. 1, Givens, 50, and Lil Bob, 75, were approached by several Metro Transit Police officers while waiting. Dirty Bird Givens said he was placed into handcuffs and taken to the police station, only to be released without much of an explanation. "They did all of that, and I wasn't even arrested," Givens

said Tuesday in an interview. "They told me it was for a $50,000 I didn't even know what that was."

Police of the encounter went viral, with captains handy claiming Givens was arrested for simply having a pet goat. Online commenters wondered if Givens was arrested for taking Lil Bob on the Metro (Givens had posted

a video with him and the goat on the Gown Line).

By Tuesday, as video of Givens and Lil Bob murdered around the internet, Randy Clarke, general manager of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, addressed the detainment during a news conference on Metro (other statistics).

His said Givens was detained in connection to an alert for a "very serious crime" that had nothing to do with taking his goat on the Metro. Still, Clarke continued, people shouldn't do that.

Va governor weighs in in plan to sell Dominion Energy

MISSAMERSON PHON BLI

ence the merger. Unlike the majority of other states, whose governors can face and fire such commissioners. Notice said, in Virginia, commissioners are elected to the General Assembly.

"Certainly there's no legal obligation, or other process, on the commissioners to give the governor's views are more weight than other parties that will participate here," Police said.

The chair of the corporation commission, Robert A. Bagel, previously served as a senior attorney at Northco Energy, according to her official biography. Opponents of the merger have called on law to secure herself from considering the deal. A commision spokesperson said no decision has been made.

Dominion and Northco have looted the merger as a win, both for the companies and customers in Virginia. They said the corporation commission is the right terms for weighing their proposal.

"The commission," in the appropriate forum to evaluate this transaction and balance the outcome of the Group of results, said we are confident in established, fact-based review will demonstrate the benefits this proposal offers Virginia," Dominion Energy that mandates Robert M. Rice said in a statement. "We welcome the Governor's participation in the regulatory process and agree with her priorities of affordability, protecting Virginia's size, and supporting the Commonwealth's energy future."

In a statement, that Brown's spokesperson for Northco, said that while the company is not the governor's decision to participate in the regulatory review, the team's authority over the ability and resources to make an changes.

"What changes is the strength of the platform behind Dominion Energy Virginia, greater scale, greater purchasing power, and greater quality," a personal advantage that put sustained downswing pressure on the cost of the Virginia customers over the long term," House said.

Police said that while the benefits to the companies are obvi-

ous, he believes the advantages for the state are less clear.

"The question is: Does anyone in Virginia benefit from this offer than Dominion shareholders," Police said. "When the utility has multiple territories—it'll be less static here for Northco—they have options. They can choose to invest where it makes sense for them for their bottom line. If you're a one-state utility, you can't have that term."

Spokesman said her efforts are aimed at ensuring that any deal maintains affordable energy prices, job protections for utility workers and commitments to in-venting in new energy sources—

which she termed her "unnegotiable priorities".

"I believe it is extraordinarily important to be a party to the case, to intervene in this case, and can have a voice on behalf of Virginian, asking questions, ensuring that I'm getting answers, and, importantly, putting forth priorities that I know to be important for the people of Virginia," Spokesman told reporters. There is $1 billion amount of the law to a Washington Post report.

Dominion and Northco filed the merger application with regulators on July 15, and regulators have a maximum of 100 days to issue a ruling in size the proposal

would be approved for default.

Several state lawmakers have said more time to needed to properly review such a momentous case and urged Spokesman to call a special General Assembly session to extend the deadline for regulators to make a decision.

Del Joseph P. McNamara (R. Ransdell) involved Spokesman's intervention as "political showmanship," saying it won't be enough to make the decision to intervene.

"It likes Spokesman truly wanted to protect Virginia categories, she would best out request and bring the regulators into session and make the necessary changes

to allow the SC's sufficient time to evaluate the benefits, or lack thereof, of the proposed merger," McNamara said in an interview Thursday.

Democratic state Sen. Russel Perry (Lewis) said that while it would be useful to have Spokesman's voice at the negotiating table, "the Governor's intervention doesn't address the fundamental issues before us."

The Governor's decision, according to the review and mutual evidence, "We can do both," said Perry, whose Northern Virginia district overlaps with "Data Center Alley," the consent concentration of the facilities in the state. "More time

means more questions can be asked, more evidence can be reviewed, and ultimately, a better-achieved decision can be made."

Lt. Gov. Gheatin Raden (R) has also called for extending the review period, saying in a statement Thursday that "Virginia's current review timeline was not designed for an acquisition of the magnitude."

Spokesman said her priority "is the same as not a time frame wherein I have no ability to impart an extension, or provide feedback, or ask questions. My priority to in a meaning that I can be part of this conversation, which is why I'm intervening."

In the next year, Givens said he sees surrounded by four Metro Transit Police officers, two of whom are taking his name behind his back while another holds Lil Bolts metal class leads.

The officers struggle to dictate service, who later said he was more concerned about Lil Bolts

safety than his own at the time. In the video, Lil Bolts is a unsatisfactory skill, watching as the officers push Givens against a police cruiser.

Givens said the transit officers told him the BOLD, short for "be on the lookout," was related to charges out of Prince George's County.

His honesty Givens was accused of firing a weapon into an occupied apartment in Rhytheville, Maryland, though no one was injured. He's maintained his innocence, saying in an online fundraiser that he was falsely accused of the crime.

The Rhytheville Police Department is a news release in January

and Givens was identified using "traffic imaging technology," which is a reference to license-plate readers. His attorney Thomas Murray, said Tuesday that the charges were recently dropped because prosecutors could not produce a victim to the alleged crime.

Givens said the most frustrating part of the ordeal was her officers "matched fish out of my hands".

"That's not baby man," Givens said, saying that Lil Bolts was "tortified" during the ordeal.

He said he was released in a district police station in Kent, where Lil Bolts was kept outside the station, across the

street with an officer man's out-of-licence line of sight.

"They had him outside," Givens said. "People was trying to get privacy with him while one of the officers held him."

Givens said he had to wait for officers to check on the status of the BOLD alert before releasing him. He questioned the police obtained him the service place if they didn't know whether the alert was still active.

"He was starting to wonder what was going on," Givens said of Lil Bolts attitude during his detainment. "I didn't want to try to make the goat sound to walk him comfortable. I'm glad he was on his best behavior, even

when the officer grabbed him." Givens, a self-described animal-race and environmental enthusiast who earned a bachelor's degree in ethno-technability from the University of the District of Columbia in 2010, said he brings Lil Bolts around D.C. to spread positivity.

"He outnumbered has a social media channel under the name 'lionshop' and produces street interview videos with Lil Bolts, asking passender questions like, 'Do you trust the government?' and their biggest true date red flags."

Givens described his encounter with the officers at times and frustrating, but he said it hasn't

denied him from continuing to become D.C. with Lil Bolts. The police said he was not a member, he said, "bringing makes to a place that has been dark a long time."

"It's bringing light, bringing positivity, and letting people know to just be different if you want to be different," Givens said.

Givens said he owns six goats in total, including Lil Bolts' mother.

When asked where he got Lil Bolts, Givens quipped dryly. "He's from Northeast."

Judge rejects competing bankruptcy plans in Baltimore Archdiocese case

BY TOWN KANPOTCH AND KENYNE BAKER Baltimore Sun

KALIBANK — A federal bankruptcy judge has been led to ongoing, including the following: a proposed by the Archdiocese of Baltimore and a committee representing survivors of their sexual abuse, caring both proposed were continuing, tasked imprinting to formations, and contained provisions that could not be confirmed under bankruptcy law.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mitchell M. Harner denied approval of the disclosure statements accompanying both plans. The details were issued without prejudice, allowing both sides to review and construct their proposals.

The decision was made to offer more delay to the archdiocese's reach those near office of the Archdiocese's home. The first claims from people who are they were revealed to the Archdiocese's clergy or others connected to the Catholic Church. It also knows into doubt a September

confirmation hearing that had been expected to determine whether creditors could vote on a final settlement plan.

Harner said Tuesday that the competing disclosure statements contained so much information that creditors could have difficulty understanding how the plans would work or what rights they would have. She wrote that creditors should not need interest or "translators" to understand a proposed plan.

The judge also said portions of both proposals were legally flawed and could not be confirmed under the Bankruptcy Code.

The one has been complicated by disagreements among the archdiocese, the official committee of court and creditors and insurance companies. The parties have participated in mediators but have not reached a global agreement, according to the court.

The court said the current timetable for moving forward confirmation must be reconsidered.

A confirmation hearing had been scheduled to begin Sept. 16, with solicitations packages due to be mailed Aug. 15. Harner noted that he was not enough time to consider amended disclosure statements before that deadline because of the deficiencies in the current proposals.

The judge said she wants the case to move toward a resolution but would not do so in a way that it outlines or proposes to the bankruptcy estate and its creditors.

The Baltimore Archdiocese has opened a double Chapter 10 jurisdiction since September 2010. The bankruptcy filing cases two days before March 15, 2010. Victims Act took effect. That law eliminated the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits involving child sex and abuse.

In a statement, the Archdiocese has been a new business committed to child safety.

The Archdiocese will continue to evaluate and strengthen its practices to promote the safety and well-being of those entrusted

to its one:" and Christian Kendinsville, executive director of consumerization for the archdiocese. "The Archdiocese continues to view, update and strengthen its child protection policies and procedures from the past several decades, the Archdiocese has implemented numerous subassessments to strengthen its safe environment efforts and response protocols."

Earlier this year, the archdiocese submitted a 375-page communication plan that proposed channeling settled abuse claims into a trust system. The plan called for one trust to distribute compensation to survivors using confidence from how the church, parishes, schools and insurance settlements, with a commitment to reward for those litigating and insurance claims involving insurers that had not agreed to settlement.

The archdiocese has also contributed to survivors at about $10.9 million, while insurance carriers that had reached settlements would contribute at about $125 million. The proposal also

allowed parishes, schools and other affiliated entities to join the bankruptcy process as additional debtors, although their contribution had not been determined.

The survivors continue to suffer

Teresa Lancaster represents its people making claims of sexual abuse. She said Harner's ruling "wasn't necessarily a bad thing, since the plans can be overshadowed confidential. But her claims wasn't the to end.

"The survivors continue to suffer," she said. "They've wished so long."

Frank Schindler is a co-founder of the Alton Retrieval Coalition, an organization representing nearly survivors of alleged child sexual abuse in the Catholic church.

"We weren't surprised at the distance of Schindler said. "We regard that as a victory for our sin."

Schindler said the archdiocese's position has barely moved in the three years since it declared bankruptcy.

"It's clear they don't want to give money to survivors. They'll rather give the money to their parents," he said.

But the judge also rejected the condition: attempt to include)^{[1]} and property as part of the archdiocese's assets.

"Our position all along has been that regardless of what legal manoeuvring the church has done in order to chatter those assets, the assets should be part of our settlement," Schindler said.

Schindler and Lancaster both said the church needed to be more credible with its settlement.

In a statement, the Archdiocese of Baltimore said it is working to address the court's concerns and continue moving the Chapter 10 process forward.

"We remain committed to a resolution and will continue to work with all parties involved toward the goal of providing equitable compensation to survivors while maintaining the Church's ability to carry out its ministries and service to the community," Kendinsville said.

OBITUARIES

JANET HOWELL, 82

A longtime Democratic lawmaker from Fairfax County

HOWELL, FOUND BIG

worked as a legislative assistant for former delegate Kenneth R. Phip (D-Blachar).

When former longtime senator Clive L. Duvall D. chose not to run for reelections, Ms. Howell launched a campaign for the 32nd District seat. She win made her one of just four women in the state Senate at the time.

She described that first term for herself and two fellow women freshmen as "lonely and frustrated" in a 2015 release in Virginia Capitol Conventions a local political magazine. "One of us would make a statement on something of extreme importance to women, and frequently no one would stand to back her up," she wrote.

Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), who was first elected the same year as Ms. Howell, noted that there was no women's restroom on the Senate level at the time, and women were prohibited from wearing pants.

Lucas, Ms. Howell and the late Sen. Yvonne E. Miller — the sole woman Democratic state senators at the time — quickly headed, Lucas said in a phrase interview last week.

The Washington Post reported in 2002 that Virginia's women legislators had formed a caucus to foster collaboration on bills and advocate for seats on all-men committees.

"As a group we can feel to break their ceilings," Ms. Howell wrote in the Virginia Capitol Conventions column.

In 2012, Ms. Howell discussed the first woman to provide over the Virginia Senate in its 200-year history, about the need for women required to adjourn the chamber at the end of the day. "A small step for a woman, a giant leap for womanhood," she qapped after her step. Her open and open time. Two years later, she became the first woman to win the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee.

But as Ms. Howell and her fellow women legislators climbed the ranks, they found handkerchief from some of their rank points.

When efforts were underway to strengthen the state Senator harassment policy amid widespread allegation of misconduct, Ms. Howell said "the first that

were legislators had made crude remarks or gorged her during her time as a legislative aide, and that she had continued to face sexual harassment after her election.

His recent interviews, four women legislators and staff members described Ms. Howell as a crucial mentor in a man-dominated space.

Susan Schaar, the Senate's longtime clerk, said she and other women staff members often went to Ms. Howell for advice or to cast about "the frustrations of the job."

Sen. Barbara Berola (D-Arlington), who was first elected in 2012, recalled an especially useful

piece of advice from Ms. Howell: "Get to know the wives of the lawmakers you feel you need to persuade."

Ms. Howell also had a reputation for reaching across the aisle, according to former colleagues, Former senator Thomas E. Norment Jr. (R-Sunny City), who was first elected the same year as Ms. Howell, called her a "dear friend" with whom he enjoyed sharing a place of wine after the Senate adjourned for the day.

During her final Senate term, from 2010 to 2016, Ms. Howell served as the first woman chair of the chamber's finance committee. She oversaw its remaining as the

Finance and Appropriations Committee to reflect its dual mandate. The Virginia House of Delegates has separate Finance and Appropriations committees.

Janet Howell's decision was born in Washington on May 7, 1944. Her mother, Shie Lighthown Denison, worked at the Women's Bureau of the Labor Department and was a civic activist in Montgomery County. Her father, Edward F. Denison, was a prominent economist at the Commerce Department and Brookings Institution.

In 1995, she earned a bachelor's degree from Oberlin College and married Hunt Howell, her

college sweetheart. She earned a master's in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania two years later.

In addition to her husband, survivors include two sons, Eric and Brian, and three grandchildren.

For Lucas, who took over as Finance and Appropriations chair after Ms. Howell's retirement, "the work isn't finished, and I owe it to her to keep going."

Soon interview, she continued about their years long friendship and legislative collaboration, based by their shared "domesticite values." What she missed most of all: Ms. Howell's "worked sense of

human".

In 2012, Ms. Howell took to the Senate first during a vote on a proposed bill requiring women to get an all-national letter on abortion. She was a former advocate for reproductive rights, did not explicitly criticize the legislators.

Instead, she suggested an amendment: men ought to undergo a racial examination and include stress test to be prescribed medicine for erectile dysfunction. "I just think we should have a little gender equity here," she said.

The amendment vote narrowly failed, but it

A change to the Endangered Species Act might affect wildlife in the state

BY NICOLA FRIARNEY

Baltimore Sun

The Atlantic sturgeon is an endangered species of fish with deep roots in Maryland — the fish was targeted by early settlers along the Chesapeake Bay and has connections with the Indigenous community. But the sturgeon's dwindling population is now example of hundreds of species that are now in greater role since a provision that protected their habitat was covered, opening up opportunities for harmful activities like drilling or dredging.

Last month, the Trump Administration concluded the curbing of the species of endangered Species Act, a definition that protected listed species from harmful habitat modification or degradation. The deregulatory action, which goes into effect Sept. 16, removes wording that prevented activity that disrupted essential animal behaviors, like breeding, feeding or sheltering, according to the Federal Register.

More than 360 Maryland animals are either federally hired under the 80th or considered endangered, threatened, race or under assessment by the state, according to a late 2010 report from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

"It's just a shame because so much valuable effort has been put into developing state and regulations that actually benefit species without causing human to humans," said Act Subtype, an associate research professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Research (Chesapeake Biological Laboratory).

The act is intended to end "natural overcoast" and reduce permitting, evaporation and use containers for landowners, according to a fish news release from the State Department of Natural Resources. The release added that the definition of future forms up costs and overcoated fishermen.

"We're returning the 80th to its international program to ensure legitimate conservation goals are

met without sacrificing community growth and American prosperity," said Howard Lutnick, the secretary for the U.S. Department of Commerce, in the release.

The act will still prohibit actions that directly fall or shines lethal wildlife by editing on the behaviors of "sake," which is defined in the statute as harming or falling, as animal, or making an infrequent, according to the news release.

The process to assess the impact on endangered species' habitats from activities like dredging, fishing and water activity is now great, said Beth Poldery, a professor and director at UMC-85's Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. "This can have worse one point for species that already have blinded habitats, she added. 'We not like you can actively go kill a sturgeon,' Poldery said. 'But you no longer have to take precautions or do the same pro-

cess to make sure your actions aren't impacting its habitat.'

Critical habitat designations under the 80th are also some of the forms of habitat conservation that define what areas should be protected. Subtype said, Mass designation of habitat, as an umbrella for more than one species.

Including these that are not currently threatened, but still may the benefits of a protected space, he added.

"A lot of species which are

endemic to states or to islands or to the U.S. for example, would suffer dramatically from not having critical habitat designations," Subtype said.

This change to the 80th is paving the way for large-scale development activities, preparing oil or mining, he added.

"This is just allowing for the interpretation to go more on the business and of the spectrum where development is prioritized over the species," Subtype said.

Wetlands and forests act as national filters to close waterways — this change could impact that ability, said Kirsten Reilly, the director of the Denver Clean Water Coalition, which is composed of more than 320 organizations across the Chesapeake Bay. Many of the wetlands around the Chesapeake watershed are also essential for species like shorebirds and fish to survive, she added.

"This change may seem to impact only a small number of species or be only affecting things that are covered in the Endangered Species Act," Reilly said. "This is actually something that will have much broader implications for our work and for the environment in general."

The northern long-eared bat, a species that is federally endangered and, at high risk of extinction in Maryland, is already suffering from a hard-to-come disease. The fifth change puts their already threatened habitat at further risk by allowing for approval of destructive projects, said Bradley Williams, the Sierra Chit's wildlife and lands protection campaign deputy legislative director.

Other at-risk species in Maryland include multiple whale, turtle and bird species, among many animals, according to the state's natural resources department.

Demonstrating federal laws that manage state laws are important for streamlined conservation and protection, Williams added. For example, the European tomentimes form in areas of the bay that are not protected for Maryland, meaning differing state laws can impact the way for species or their habitats are protected, he said.

"There has been bipartisan support of a resolution in the US. Congress is nullify the effects of the deregulatory decisions. We are afraid."

"It's really important that we have them federal laws that manage the state laws so we don't have 'bipartisaned management,' and that 'Objection' don't choose which-state they go to."

OBITUARIES

BENJAMIN ALIRE SÁENZ, 73

A prizewinning writer who explored queer themes, Chicano life in his work

BY HARMON SMITH

Ever since he was a boy, picking course and working on truth to help support his family, Benjamin Allen Sáenz had the occasion buying that he was living on two worlds, not one.

Mr Sáenz spent inside his entire life on 16 brothers, at the borderlands. Raised on a farm outside Las Cruces, five thieves, he eventually settled in El Paso, all refers to his youth, where he was widespread acclaim. A poet and novelist, writing books that used the U.S. Mexico border as a backdrop for twelve explorations of love, redemption and the human condition.

All of his work, from his bilingual children's books to his 1950-page debut novel, "Carry the Like Water," was "a poetry of witness," he said, offering little a chance to reflect on his experiences and the world in which he lived.

It was also a literature of construction. Mr Sáenz often said that writing noted the life, helping him navigate a course, unsettled period in which he went into treatment for alcohol and drug use. Later to revise with his sexuality, liked for divorce from his wife of 11 years and, at age 54, came out as gay.

"I am a living, functioning people," he said. "I have always known who I was, and yet I have many moments when I have been a stranger unto myself."

Mr Sáenz's self-crevitation served as a catalyst for two books, both published in 2012, that transformed his career, the short-story collection "Everything Begins and Ends of the Kentucky Club," which made him the first Latino to win the 1920s. Realtors Award for Fiction, and the young-adult novel "Juvenile and Frantic Illness" (the favorite of the Universe) which said more than 1 million copies and was translated into 30 languages. The novel became a bookhouse for readers who embraced its story of queer love, acceptance and belonging.

"These books were written only because I came to terms with who I was," Mr Sáenz told Time magazine, which selected "Juvenile and Frantic" for its 2020 list of the 100 greatest young-adult books. He felt "too Mexican for Americans, not Mexican enough for Mexicans," he said, and had a similar feeling after coming out. "Do not pay enough for some people, and I'm too gay for other people."

Writing offered a form of healing, as well as a sense of direction, as he explained to others. "Scientifically," "The only time I'm not just a when I'm writing."

Mr Sáenz, who served as a Catholic priest before discovering his vocation as a writer, died July 20 at 72. He died in El Paso, was confirmed by a spokesman for Simon & Schuster, Children's Publishing, who said Mr Sáenz died "after a long illness."

"Responses had a remarkable gift for making you fall in love with the characters he wrote about, because of a very real people with a full and rich humanity," the editor Gordon Levin said in a tribute.

He also stood apart because of the "definitive" attitude for the emotional regular," said his friend and colleague Daniel Chicano, state of the country writing department at the Uni-

Author Benjamin Allen Sáenz in 1930 with his dog Choy in the basement of his El Paso home.

vicinity of Texas at El Paso.

"There's this joke we had, either Chicano writers and I, that American poets can't use words like heart or soul because it's too sentimental. But didn't care about that," Chicano said. "He was told enough to be as sentimental as he wanted to be, as sentimental as he felt, and he didn't hold back. He got away with it in a way upscale she could."

Mr Sáenz starved out as a poet, winning an American Book Award in 1992 for his debut collection, "Catholic of Utah," an examination of death and renewal along the border. He found a wider audience through his fiction, including novels and movies that he populated with desperate teens and heartbroken lovers. His "Kentucky Club" collection featured on a Pimbledon nuclear in Ciudad Juárez, a few blocks

south of the Rio Grande and the bridge to El Paso, where man gather to wrap-stories over man-garden and food.

"You wrote with what you know and with all your heart," Mr Sáenz told El Paso for Magazine. "and the means sometimes writing about the anger that results within you and all the imperfections. All my characters are so fragile and wounded and hurt and angry, and struggle to be decent when all the world has tried to make them hard and unborn."

Many of his books traced the bonds between family and friends, and the longing that results when politics or prejudice get in the way of love. In his children's book "A Gift From Page Dings," he told the story of a love in Texas who dreamed of becoming a superhero so that he can fly

across the border to visit his grandfather to Mexico. In "Juvenile and Frantic," he chronicled the relationship between two Mexican American teenagers who meet at an El Paso pool in the 1990s, loved over their financial nature and, over time, a sense of shame and fear, fell in love.

The novel received top prizes for LGBTQ+ literature, which it was named for schools, libraries and the government of Belarus, which last year deemed it potentially "intuitive" to national interests," presumably because of its gay themes. Mr Sáenz was delighted to see the book adapted into a 2022 film, co-produced by "Sensitive" to such "Lynchburg" Menasha, and continued the story in a best-selling sequel, "Juvenile and Frantic: How Into the Waters of the World," set during

the AIDS crisis.

"I think we were born to tell our stories," Aristotle, known as Art, observes in the book "After we died, our stories would survive. Maybe it was our stories that led the universe the energy it needed to be in growing life."

The fourth of seven siblings, Mr Sáenz was born outside Las Cruces on Aug. 18, 1954, and growing in the country town of Mexico. His family ran a small farm but lost the property when Mr Sáenz was in the fourth grade. His father got a job as a cancer founder, and his mother cleaned homes and found work in factories.

Mr Sáenz, who is survived by several of his siblings, stood apart in the family. He was drawn to the world of art and ideas, and grew increasingly isolated after he was actually abused by a

family member. He kept quiet about the assault for years.

"I don't know what my life would have looked like if I had said something. I look back at that little boy and think about how we're in war," Mr Sáenz said in 2021, speaking at a TEDx event in El Paso. "About and confused, the boy pushed me to find a world that was harder than the world he lived in. That boy pushed me toward books."

Mr Sáenz found inspiration in articles as a well as in the book of Catholic radicals such as Dorothy Day and Daniel Berrigan, whose activities and adventure for the poor inspired him to enter St. Thomas Seminary in Denver. He received a bachelor's degree in 1977, studied Oncology at the Chicago University in Belgium and served as a pacific priest in El Paso, only to learn the ministry's best there years. "The riches were too heavy," he joked.

Years later, he said he had struggled with serving as a spokesman for the church at a state music charge were facing accusations of sexual abuse. He had written a novel in his free book, and while it was "hermed awful," in his estimation, he decided to go back to school and universal himself as a writer. He earned a bachelor's degree in research, writing from UTEP and deepened his craft through a Wallace Register Fellowship at Stanford.

By 2012, he had returned to UTEP as a teacher, to the Denver of some of his mentors on the West Coast. They "told me I was making a huge mistake," he said in his TEDx talk, "that I was visiting my career, and I was looking for chances to have a good career, that I could not build that career on writing about the books. And that is precisely what I have done."

In a many years as to become the chair of the creative writing department, championing the acting of more diverse health members while helping shape what is now a biological MSA program, with chance taught in English and Spanish.

"What he brought to his teaching was the same thing he brought to his writing," Chicano said. "When he was passionate, his students glowed."

On the side, Mr Sáenz painted and opened a gallery, turning out pieces filled with flaming hearts, and a twelfth and private peacock. He retired from teaching in 2010 but continued to write, with his last completed young-adult novel, "When the World Was Right" (a young cat kept in). The book tells the story of twin-ribbon after a school shooting, and was inspired in part by the death of Mr Sáenz. 10-year-old niece Jean Brunez, who was totally shot through a 20-year history at a Las Cruces bowling after.

"Here, it never getting over such a tragedy. The days go on, the worst grows dataset – but there is no beginning," Mr Sáenz wrote in an author's note for the book after the 2022 attack at the New Mexico State of California. "So, true, he was inspired!" to write a book about how people survive and live through something as ourselves as this!

For a while, when things that matter," he added. "I want to write to save people. Writing might not be very people. So writing this book is love I love."

Mr. Rubber Duckie

Bob Zwach, 73

My brother, Bob, passed away from glioblastoma. For the two and a half years he survived after his diagnosis, he had lost one minute of self-pity. He was lyrical and generous. He loved playing practical jokes on neighbors by rolling a round hole up to a guy's garage door so he couldn't get in when he came home, or writing "BOB" on a bill in his country and with his 20-foot digger. He grew sweet corn and generously followed it to people's house. He had a sense of urgency for whole life. When it was time to plant or harvest, he was ready. He answered his phone on the first ring and paid his bills the day he received them. He was called "Mr. Rubber Duckie," as he sang that song to more people than our town's population on their birthdays each year. Who does that? Bob-a-dub-dubby!

Robert Steven Zwach was a grain farmer who worked on his century-old family farm near Milroy, Minnesota. He died April 2 in the nearby town of Marshall.

Cardinals in the yard

Alicia Candamo, 78

— My father passed away in 2006, and his older sister, my aunt, always told me that if I see a cardinal it was my father passing by. Rather than you, a week before my aunt died of ovarian cancer, she told me, "If you see a cardinal, it's me and your dad." I see cardinals everywhere I go. There was a male and female cardinal I found living in my front yard. My aunt wasn't much for mounting people, she always taught me to treat in my faith and to let those loved ones be with their family and ancestors who came before. She taught me to never fear death, as it is a natural part of life. I tried after she passed, but now I never feel alone. I always feel her presence with me.

My husband was an incredibly kind man. He was a friend to everyone he met, always trying to help anyone who had a need. He was kind to strangers too. If someone was broken down on the highway or road, he would stop to help. He never passed up an opportunity to fix a problem. My daughter from a previous marriage passed away in 1994 and I, frankly, came outright. I would access my husband of all kinds of horrible things, angry and not holding back my cup. He would patiently hear me out and reassure me that all would be well again and that he understood that I was in pain. When he was dying of melanoma, he wasn't angry about it or even distressed, but he tried to comfort me and told me I would be okay when he was gone. He was the love of my life.

Nicky "Nick" Keri York installed phone equipment in department stores and other large businesses. He died Feb 4 in Viacaville, California.

Songs of Zion

Dennis Hunter, 86

Grandpa was an Erie legend. He never had much but always looked and smelled rich. He was a storyteller and people listened. He coaxed sharia and emigmaturity. Beginning in 1997 he did well what he loved most, serving as the DJ of "Songs of Zion," a beloved gospel show on AM radio. Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" was my birthday song every year. He would let me stay up and watch old black-and-white horror movies with him. He smash kid and added water to "empty" bottles. His underclothes were well-worn beneath his suits. We clipped coupons and sale-sharpered. He would pay me $1 cents to scratch his dandruff. He never talked at my driving and helped choose my first car. He coached me when I decayed in college. Say "Lord willing," and he's told, "Tomorrow isn't promised." So much of me developed from him. Thanks, Grandpa.

Dennis Lloyd Hunter was a gospel DJ and promoter. He died Feb. 20 in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Suppertime again

Deanna Atchison, 86

As my mom's dementia progressed in her last couple of years, it was fortunate her personality didn't change for the worse. The only thing that got her upset was wondering where my dad was. She'd ask me if I'd soon him or if he was angry at her. I hated something her (many times in a conversation) that he'd been dead for many years, but once I did, she'd become back and cheerily say, "I hear you, he's dead, but I know he's alive." After she died in April, I went through her multitude of little notebooks and songs of paper with notes to herself, prayers, Bible verses and phone numbers, and found a note she wrote about two years earlier: "John, I'm in the dining room having supper. Come and say 'HELLO' Lots of Love, D." I am sure they are finally having supper together again.

Deanna B. Atchison was a teacher who also worked at her hometown library in Jackson, Massachusetts. She died April 6 in the nearby town of Burlington.

BY GLORY EDGERS

Photographer Timothy White's résumé includes album art (for Michael Bolton, Billy Joel and Wilson Phillips), magazine shoots for Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and Esquire; and having once owned an entire town in the Mojave Desert. Now, at 70, he's sharing that experience in a new memoir, "Life Through My Lens," in which he tells the stories behind his photographs. We spoke with White via Zoom about some of his celebrity shoots. Here's what he told us.

Friend validates herself with the miseries of other parents

Carolyn Has it many. The following first appeared June 2, 2028.

Smar Carolyn: My friend validates herself not with love and pride in the accomplishments of her son, but instead in pointing out the pain and failures of others, as in, 'When I see what a nurse there kid is in, I feel so much better about mine.'

I am finding it hard to ignore this version of a kindergarten. Should I?

— Schadomferode

Schadomferode (Please don't)

Not that you can or should play the perttimes conquering here. However, you can and should — let the know you're not going to abet here with your silence. A well-tuned 'tired' or 'Wow' can see a lot where she has just damned some other month kid — because that is the arena in which she's competing, right? These are the motherhood games!

These characters memorabilia work even better if you've laid the foundation by eating, once 'tired, I don't know about that — one had break here and there, and any of our kids could be in trouble!

I might even continue, '... or, one parent how and there when more concerned with comparison than with comparison,' but I don't want to build a glass house of my own families, the 'wets up' rules while 'reminder' will work best for you once much.

I will say that, though. Wouldn't it also be problematic if your friend validated herself with pride in the accomplishments of her son? It takes hard work to raise a kid and you, and parents who put in the work deserve the predication that darms from it — from the dedication itself, and maybe from any announcer they get that a child feels loved. The third accomplishments, though? These belong to the kid.

Smar Carolyn: How do you deal with a family member's 'conditioned' love? I'm in my mid-life and am one of these kids who did not live out their parents' dream but have a sibling

I DON'T NEED HIM TO BE GREAT, JUST BETTER THAN THE OTHER KIDS WE KNOW.

who did. In my heart, I know they are good people, but they seem to be supportive of everyone around me, and not me.

For what it's worth, I'm single, have a graduate education, a good job and am healthy. I go to family events and help out often.

I am having a tough time balancing the healthy solution of keeping my distance and my guilt over the last they are getting older — and I don't want to cut them out entirely and live with that regret. But every time I see

them, it's a blow to my ego and another dent in our relationship because they can't seem to let go of some of my life choices.

— Anonymous

Anonymous: I realize I'm creating piety, but isn't it possible they aren't good people? Not necessarily bad, either, but maybe bad, average? Or emotionally oriented, or limited to depth and imagination?

From where I sit, parents who impose their own dreams on their children, and then

toward each child according to his or her adherence to the Designated Essential Way — despite mounting evidence that a dictating child found another way that was perfectly responsible — at a minimum are not good parents. They're just not.

The same you don't do out of the unblended child's dreaded vigil for any credit for a life thoughtfully loved. On the day, it sounds as if 'keeping my distance' actually isn't the healthy solution. At least, not yet.

First, I suggest you show yourself a little of the kindness your parents declare to show you. Let yourself before that feeling each deeply flawed people might be a cosmic, health-indeed compliance. Let yourself see that you become neither your parents, pride nor their piety but instead your own person, with little support and stable considerable presence, and support that respect counting the favored job. Well done, no!

And, let yourself keep your parents down a couple of strokes in your estimation. Maybe they weren't the worst parents, but their failure to accept you piety there don't of average on the curve. Good people! Maybe, but not to you, their own child, and if that doesn't warrant a closer look at your definition of 'good people,' I don't know what done.

I dwell on that not to be derision, but to propose a decision and to your vigil. You are waiting for them to be the people they should be — every time I go to what I'm doing with you — and waiting for them to fill in the blank where their approval depends. The expected disagreement is true you don't place by place.

But if you see your parents for who they are — 'You as far as they go,' for example — then that will stop being done that you can get from them, and you can get from them, you're willing to give to them. Namely, forgiveness be being so blamed. If you can fill in the blank with that instead, and mean it, then you'll be free.

While to Carolyn that all old-bodied-heralds are, God has wonderful dishevelled your views and meaning at least as good as you.

Dear Sir: I'm a 50-year-old

daughter to a 64-year-old

father and an 65-year-old

mother. I love my parents

doach, but we have had no

contact for nearly a year. I

know that at any time my

father and/or mother could pass. This is the

one stressor in my life — that I will have one or

both of my parents when we are at odds.

My mother and I are polar opposites

politically. I am open to any debate, however,

my mother has a sign on the door to my

parent's house. 'No politics.' So, I do not bring

up politics.

Unfortunately, my mother refuses to adhere

to her role. She constantly brings up politics,

yet when I attempt to trobut, she shuts down,

and refuses to engage.

It is her way. Period.

I know that my father aligns with my

politically, but he 'goes along to get along.' My

dad isn't going to divorce my mom at his

adventor age.

I know that I have a family's sign

should come with an asterisk. No politics

except when. Because that's really what she's

says, I'm asking that she wants. That is her

premature and while it may not be pleasant,

you don't have to engage.

You can set and hold the boundary that she

says she wants but is which she won't adhere.

When she starts talking about politics, you can

others change the subject without

controlling or correcting, or you can say,

'Mom, I don't want to talk about politics. I

want to spend time with you and talk about

us.'

Now, this may not be what she really wants

daughter. She may be asking for a debate.

I think this case, it may help to set a clear

limit for your voice or choose neutral spaces.

She is content, or neutral activities. She is

walking true. She may not be able to or want

to help herself, but it she finds that you

won't take the best, she may start fishing

elsewhere.

Dear Sir: A retiree bridge group was formed

more than 15 years ago with one person,

tailing several others how to play. As people

served because of of our arms the group

expanded and changed over the years. The

level home retains and whoever wants to play

on the game day lets the host know.

Sometimes there are several tables playing at

once depending on how much room the host

has.

The first of the original members

has been deteriorating over the past few years.

Shortfall from can on longer keep up with the

one or play more on the group. Nobody really

wants to play with that individual and some

people will not continue with the group as a

tough. Those of us who want the group to

continue are torn between enjoying this

pastime and being a companion for this

individual. The problem is we don't know how

to tell this person that we don't enjoy playing

with their attention.

Do you have any advice on how to gently tell

this individual that they are no longer invited

to play. If having well liked and are welcome

to come and watch and socialize, but we think

this individual would be hard to be the

suggestion and don't know who should have

the conversation of how to broach the subject.

We are really confused.

— Garver Change

Game: There is a way to see on the side of

compassion while still enjoying your time

socializing and playing. You've probably right

to think that this individual would be hard by

being and all of those who are not having any

way to be. I'm not saying that changed

quite a bit since it was intended, one of the

privileges of learning and socializing with

people. I'm doing what is going to walk with

them as they change. Of course, that change is

not always used for them or for you.

Talk to this individual one-on-one and share

what you've noticed in the other age only for

playing and ask them if they've noticed the

same thing. It's possible that this person

knows that they can't keep up and hasn't

considered the possibility of coming just to

watch and socialize. Having a conversation

about their experience will keep them from

feeling disengagement and may open up new

options.

It's also possible that this person is content

with the way they're playing now. That's their

right and it's hard to find a compassionate way

to dislodge them from a group of which

they're an original member. If other members

don't want to play with this person, they can

opt out to come or to join another table if there

are enough players in attendance.

"I played her like a 16-year-old girl in that scene. And then in other scenes, I'm playing her as a 90-year-old woman or a 49-year-old woman. ... I just wanted her to be a girless."

Samantha Morton, 1/8 x 6 x 10

The magic of Samantha Morton: 'Odyssey' star discusses spellbinding role

BY GLENN WHEEP Los Angeles Times

Samantha Morton didn't mean to start hamming during that scene in 'The Odyssey'. His scene overcras is talking about, when, as she overcras Ciera, she turns Odyssears' man into pigs, literally nodding them into their true serage settes.

It wasn't in the script. It just happened. And when Morton was there, she looked over to director Christopher Nolan, waiting for him to say something like, 'Maybe try it without the bad name.'

But Nolan didn't say anything, so Morton did it again and the name that was exciting inside her head, which she conundries now as a symphony of glam harmonizers and thirsmists, kept coming out as Ciera went about her witchy bananas, altering her gluttonous gossip, who are busy sleeping and gulping down her eyes.

'These are sounds that can make you go mad, apparently,' Morton, 40, tells me, reclining on her bed at the Hotel Chelsea in New York. 'So to transform the men, the magic came out just from my hands but from my sounds.'

Morton unabashedly believes in magic. How else, she asks, can you explain how a girl who was shuttled between children's homes and a dozen home families, only to be living on the streets of Nottingham, England, at the age of 18 with a criminal record, he here talking with me now, signing green tea at the Chelsea.

'That's got to be guardian angels and love -- and not that I suddenly became good at acting and got a job,' says Morton, a veteran which born at it for 32 years, finishing ambience and stealing reason for the likes of Steven Spielberg, Jim Sheridan and, now, Nolan. 'I've always believed that anything is possible and there's no doubt in here,' and she puts her heart. 'Because I'm always felt this insurance love for me from another state.'

When Morton heard that Nolan wanted to meet her for 'The Odyssey' she says she wept. If that sounds dramatic, she makes no apologies. She likens it to being an athlete who qualifies to represent their country at the Olympics. She'll spent decades having her craft for that phone call. When it came, she flew to Los Angeles in January 2003 during the wildfires, embarking on what would become the best job interview of her life.

I ask her what she conundries about that meeting.

'I think it went really well,' Morton answers, laughing.

Morton told Nolan she hadn't read 'The Odyssey' which, when you quit school at the age of 12, makes sense. (Being back home to England -- she and her husband live in East Side with their children, 10-year-old daughter Julie and 12-year-old son Siddy -- she recalled that, yes, she knew a lot of 'The Odyssey' from having seen it parodied on an episode of 'The Disguised,' 'Were's Disguised' and its own 'home,' she says. 'Like, mad.'

But Morton doesn't believe in begging herself down in research, not since starting in a British TV production of 'lone fryer' when she was 19 and carried around a heavily highlighted cup of the Charlotte Herald book, showing that she had been emphatically destined from the novel. From that point on, she stuck in the script and her own imaginations.

'Thinking about Ciera, Morton recalled going to the library with her dad.' 'We had nothing and were beyond poor, but he always

had a library card,' she sues and finding the Howard Pyle later take back 'King Rock' 'She conundries being unconscured by the story's wicked witch. She recalls other witches from folk tales like Babe Saga, frightening character, but also, she says, 'women possessing an innocence that had been resided over the years by the handsome of life.'

Morton does a painful verbal evasion when discussing the meta-and-belly aspects of shooting the scene where Ciera transforms Odyssears' men, seeing that back in the day when behind the scenes features were prevalent on DVDs, she routinely declined to participate.

'I didn't mean to be tricky, but it was like, 'This is my private moment. This is for me,' she says. 'I do like the idea of a little moment.'

But then a beat later, she laughs it off and dives in, remembering that her husband showed her an Instagram post from Nickels set revealing how the movie's Cichigo was, in fact, a puppet.

'Oh my gods -- I love puppets!' Morton cures, and off she goes, telling me how much she adores the Mistress and how 'The Dark Crystal' is one of her all-time favorite films.

What she will say about her 'Odyssey' scene is that there were no digital effects. Everything was real and 'in memory' and that she was so in the zone that she barely remembers one of a safe flashes.

'That's not O2E,' Morton says. 'That's human brilliance and a connectivity of moron's preference, almost dancing and feeling sure. And not to say that it was sexual, but I wanted it to be very unusual when she's with the eyes and the animals, just like, you know, that she's almost one with them.'

'What was lovely about that,' Morton is not so so simple, meaning if she should draw back the curtain on the creative process. She goes ahead. 'There was a day on set when Cleitz was like, 'Okay,' and he put his hand in because I was a little scared. It's like that scene in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' where

he puts his hand in the thing, and you're like, 'Oh no! I was a little nervous, but Cleitz did it first. I think he actually set his finger.' Her giggles: 'Woman-wins up going to go to bed, like getting into the cold water in the sea, I felt protected and supported in that whole process.'

When Odyssears' men arrive at Cloetz' home, hungry, sitting to be led, Cleitz seems frightened -- understandably so. She's alone, and there seldom have a history of pillaging and taking what they want. And yet, she's a powerful sorceress. Is Cleitz really scared or too long there to love them in?

'I played that like she was genuinely frightened because she was caught off guard,' Morton says. 'I also wanted to play somebody that was all ages, so I played her like a 10-year-old girl in that scene. And then in other scenes, I'm playing her as a 90-year-old woman or a 49-year-old woman or a sister or a mother, a grandmother. I just wanted her to be a girless.'

Morton, looking out for Ciera, stresses that transforming Odyssears' men was not poorly vengeful.

'It's not just hate,' she says. 'It's not just harm. It's not just anger. It's almost like a Zen master within the goddess role of the teaching as well. Be careful what you wish for,' platform, good, all of these things.'

There's a righteous feminist rage underneath the scene as well, a modernization that brings 'The Odyssey' fiercely and disturbingly up-to-date. It's another reason people leave the theatre talking about Morton.

Nolan thinks 'The Odyssey' is some weird way, 'I feel in shot out that character -- she was the Odyssey.' He told the Los Angeles Times that 'after one of her tales, the crew gave her a great round of applause.' Emma Thomas, Nickels producing partner and wife, later recalled that the last time that had happened was with Heath Ledger on 'The Dark Knight.'

Morton makes a point of telling me how much Ledger meant to her, having been cast opposite him (and Odysseas himself, Matt Shears) more than 20 years ago in Terry Gilliland's 2003 feature adventure 'The Brothers Grimm.' Nitramas chief Harvey Weinstein overruled Gilliland, dropping Morton from the film because, in his eyes, she wasn't attractive enough.

'And Heath fought for me with such kindness and compassion,' Morton says. 'She's up there with Philip Sydmann Hoffman for me. There's something otherworldly personal about what they gave, such sincerity and vulnerability and an absolute dedication to craft. They have a mark on your heart.'

It's not the first time Morton has invoked the heart in our conversation. She brought her son, Siddy, to New York for the premiere of 'The Odyssey' because she wanted to show him the place where her creative spirit was born. Morton then came to New York as a man to do prose for 'Emma,' returned a year later to promote 'lone fryer' and then couldn't bring herself to learn, 'with nothing' at friends' apartments so she could immerse herself in the city.

'New York visits my heart,' Morton says. It's where she beat got into literature, devouring Charles Babcock, roaming the aisles at the St. Mary's boarding, checking out movies from Kim's Video and quishing back browns and rags over says at the Waverly Place.

Not long after, Morton scored the role that would lead her for first of ten Oscar nominations (for now at least), playing the main laundrom in Woods Africa's 'Sweet and Love down.' The production put her up in a 'Grave for a hard time,' and then when it ended, she moved to the East Village.

Only the three remains but Morton still plans for the first of ten Oscar nominations. 'I'm not going to play the main laundrom in Woods Africa's 'Sweet and Love down.' The production put her up in a 'Grave for a hard time,' and then when it ended, she moved to the East Village.

'Like to good right now,' Morton says, reading 'Who knows? Maybe I'll indulge in some latch browns.'

Was Howard Jones once a biggest? It's not a his-fretched notion, especially considering this pioneering 1990s ornith-pop name(s) had an epiphany at 11 when he saw the 1970 film documentary "Woodstock" and still notes about watching Jean Hendrix perform at the Isle of Wight festival in England later that same year.

"I had very long hair when I went to music college, so I guess that's a lot hippie-ink," said Jones. "But I don't know if hippies practiced piano nine here a day, playing all the classical repertoire. And as soon as I left college, I had my hair cut really short and started to think very differently. But I don't think anybody could have avoided the hippie philosophy of the time, because there are a lot of great things about it."

Perhaps not coincidentally, Jones's next album — due out in 2007 — is titled "Global Citizen" for first single, "Stand Up" was released July 9. The song's lyrics encourage listeners to better the world by nonviolently opposing authoritarianism.

To underscore his commitment to peaceful change, Jones is featuring "Stand Up" as the opening number on his Things Can Only Get Better Tour, which comes to the Authors on Saturday. He curated the lineup, which features the bands Wang Chong, English Beat and Modern English.

"If we're not going to slide into a completely authoritarian world, then each one of us must stand up for the therefore that we want society to go in," he said.

Jones, 71, cites the Rev. Jesse Jackson's 1972 poem "Stand Up, Black Man" as a major inspiration for "Stand Up." The famed civil rights leader died in February at 84.

"It's a very straightforward poem that is so brilliant," Jones said. "I hadn't heard it before he passed away, and I thought: 'I want to take inspiration from it' because so many of the big problems in the world are caused because people think other people are different from them — 'They don't think so dress the way I do' — so they're scared of them, and this is the cause of conflict."

"But we should always be looking for the things that make us, say humanity. So, stand up and be counted. It doesn't mean you have to be aggressive or confrontational, but to

Howard Jones, back on tour, reflects on hippie ideals: 'There are a lot of great things about it'

challenge behavior around you that is disrespectful. That's the message of the song. For people to have confidence in their beliefs and their good nature."

This would take has helped Jones sustain a career that is now in its fifth decade. His first single, "New Song," was released in 1993. It was followed by his 1994 debut album, "The music Life." The album, topped the charts in his native England, where he scored six Top 10 singles between 1993 and 1994. One of them, "No One Is to Blame," rose to the No. 4 spot in the U.S. on the national Billboard charts.

Jones recently charted with the San Diego Union-Tribune from his home in Somerset, England.

You made your San Diego concert debut 62 years ago opening for Joe Jackson. Had anyone told you then that you'd be back in 2010 — and creating the lineup of bands for an entire U.S. tour — would that have seemed remotely possible? Or would you have thought they were out of their mind? I would have thought they're out of their mind? I was only trying to make sure that my second album did well enough for me to keep going a bit longer, and I never would have thought I could keep going this long, but I did it. I did know one thing, though: This is the only thing I want to do.

And if you were no longer hearing or recording?

I would be playing in a pub somewhere, or a bar, doing my own music. I would still be doing this because this is what I'm supposed to do. I see it, and it's what I can contribute. But I didn't think it would be possible to keep it going for 60 years because, you know, pop music doesn't allow you to do that very often.

That's why I'm always trying to work on something new, playing new things in the set, finding new ways of playing the songs, singing better, playing better. Evolution!

How does that correspond to the fact that, on a tour like this — with four artists who scored their biggest hits in the 1990s — a lot of concertgoers will be coming with a very

deep sense of nostalgia and a desire to re-live the music of their youth?

Well, I'll be playing my brand new "Stand Up" as the first song in my set. I've also composed a completely new intro section, and I've got a new drummer with my new short playing entirely electronic drums. So, it's always new and different. That said, you're very right: There is an element of nostalgia in there.

But I also want to show people that you can be moving forward as well, not just living in the past like you're some sort of economic exhibit. I think my fans know that I'm going to be changing things up, and that doing so keeps it interesting for me, and hopefully for them, too. But, yeah, I think a lot about what you're saying. It's very important to move forward.

We last spoke a few years ago when I was writing an article about the legacy of the 1969 Woodstock festival. You recalled here seeing the movie inspired you to attend your first festival, saying: "I saw [Jim] Hendrix, the Who, José Mitchell and the Doors at England's Isle of Wight festival in 1970, and the reason I want to it was because I'd seen the Woodstock film. And that made me decide that that's what I wanted to do in my life. It was mind blowing!" It's recall correctly, Emerson, Luke & Palmer also played at the same Isle of Wight festival. Was that an epiphany for you?

Oh, absolutely. It was their second gig — they did a small message that before the Isle of Wight — and Keith Emerson had this big modular Moog synthesizer outrage. Nobody does that before, especially in that musical context. It was mind blowing! I was such a fan of Keith, before ELF, when he was in the New. I saw them many times, and I got to meet Keith as well. He came to interview me for Contemporary Keyboard magazine. It was a big, big deal for me seeing him with ELF.

In 1993, you performed alongside Greg Lake of ELF as a member of Binge Man's All-Share Band. How big of a full circle moment was it for you to get to play ELF's "Kara-Bill 9" outrage with Greg on loan

Howard Jones performs in San Francisco in February 2026. He'll bring his Things Can Only Get Better Tour to the Anthem on Saturday, with openers including Modern English.

JONES FROM SA

and vocals and Sheila E on drums?

It was absolutely wonderful because I'm such a big KLF fan. And to curiously be playing with Greg was a major moment for me. It was an extremely difficult piece to learn. I set aside a couple of months to end it, but I relished the challenge as a keyboard player. And I was classically treated, like Keith, so it certainly should have the shape to do it. It was a wonderful thing, yeah, absolutely brilliant.

What was a bigger "pinch-me" moment for you in 1993 - doing a role version of year-long "Hide and Seek" at Live Aid at London's Wembley Stadium, or performing on the Grammy Awards telecast earlier that same year with Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and Thomas Dolly?

It was just as cool to be on that stage with Herbie and to get together in the studio for keyboard and bang out with them. I suppose I should have left a lot intimidated to be there, but I didn't. I'd grown up with Stevie's music. So I hope influence on me, not just songwriting-wise and with his philosophy and lyrics, but also because he was always the first person to have the newest keyboards and he doing cool things with them, in a very

useful way. So, that was a big influence on me.

And I thought it was great to have the legends, Stevie and Herbie, coming together with the new lads, Thomas and me. We were just having fun with all those new interviewants, and it was such a cool thing they did to bring us together on the Grammys, because it suddenly made synthesizers okay with everyone. That was a pivotal moment. Before that, people were saying things like "No synthesizers were used on this record," as if it was some sort of alien technology that would not be very good for you!

What about Live Aid?

Live Aid was just amazing. I mean, to be sharing the stage with lots of musicians that I was so familiar with was great. And I got to meet them and bang out with Paul and Linda McCartney, David Bowie, and the guys from Queen. It was brilliant! And also what I chose to do was to just give a song at the piano, which I don't think people realized that I could do because they were used to seeing me as a one-man band who sang and played synthesizers.

The piano was my first instrument and is the one that I can convey the most emotion with. And the audience that day was so em-

thoracetic, so happy to be there, and they sang with me the whole chorus of the song. I still have a clear memory of every moment of that, and it's just wonderful.

I first saw you perform in May 1994. In my review, I wrote: "For more interesting was the concert's opening performance by Howard Jones, who presented himself as a sort of one-man synth pop band. Utilizing a book of synthesizers and drum machines, as well as a minor and taped accompaniment. Jones' set was both stirring and soulful." Was it a goal of years to bring warmth to an other one, an electronic musical setting?

I think that's a fair assessment. I've always thought that primarily I've been a songwriter wanting to get your lyrics, and to be melodic and heartfelt. But I loved synthesizers, because it was like having an orchestra to realize my musical ideas with and to do something new. Just I liked that it would be a bit challenging for people. I hadn't heard of anybody who'd ever then that before, performing live with synthesizers and no band, so it raised me really, really well.

The part that I loved most was that I had to engage with the audience. I could not be remote from them. Because there was just

me and Jed (Hole) vantage, and Jed was a minor and didn't say anything! So, you had to involve the audience, and that was such a good thing for me to learn how to do.

Were there many auditions to be the minor who teased with you? Or was Jed the first and only person you thought of for the job? That was a completely organic thing. I was doing the one-man show very early in my prototype form, and Jed was a friend who used to come to those little time gigs! I was doing. He'd be dancing in the audience and it was mesmerizing for me, watching him from the stage, and I thought he should be up here with me.

So, we together came up with all those different characters (for him) that would go with the songs. And then that evolved into costumes and videos and the whole visual element to the show, which was quite unique. I think it was more like performance art, really. And yeah, so it was a very natural thing.

Have you ever met your namesake, Howard Jones. She former lead vocalist in the American metalcore band, Killswitch Engage? No, I haven't. But I'm certainly aware of him, because sometimes his music gets put up on my Spotify page for mistake!

applause always sounds better when it roars.

His iconic images of stars were only part of the story

Mel Gibson

"I was told by his people like he doesn't have a lot of holes and charge for this stuff. He had just done 'Hunter' and I don't know what I was thinking but I called those animal wranglers. I'm always looking for some book, something that maybe the subject will see, sort of a prop or something to work with, and then brought a thing, and I have pictures of him with a thing, and then brought that little pig, He was holding him and it was sort of really cute... and the pig fell asleep. And I was like, 'Don't change. Just close your eyes, you know, don't move. And so I just found a moment of quiet that I could get with him because he had a lot of energy and he wanted to get it over with."

Aratha Franklin

"It's bit dangerous to Detroit. And I show up at her home and she answers that they're a bathing suit. And the woman was large at the time and it was like those feet of cleavage, and they like, 'Oh, come on in. I'm cooking in the kitchen.' And I walk in, there's no air conditioning because she never liked air conditioning, we fun ways. And there were clothes that out all over her house and we picked some things and the next day we had little photo ideas."

So I visited the Dodge Brothers mansion in Detroit. And I had little piano brought to and put out in the backyard. And she walks in. I put her in the backyard and she started like to stay for me and I'm going to go to the drawing, and then I noticed something. Here got a tooth running in the front. And I go. What are we doing with this? And she said, 'Don't use every one go back to the camera.' And she had come goes and she, like, 'Glad it in.'

Miley Cyrus

"I called her up because I had been working with Robert Wood recording me, she in Los Angeles, which is history. And they had a room that hadn't been changed. All that little wood painting, everything was like from 1870. And I found out that John Smith had recorded 'Pearl' there. And they even had the microphone that she did this with. And I called up Miles and said, 'I got this idea. Would you want to come into the alpha and succeed in its a cigarette, if 'Mercedes Benz' but your voice, your whole thing?' And she was like, 'Oh, my God, this really resonates with me. I actually have the same tattoo on my arm that she had on here. I'm really into it. So she agreed to do it and I set the whole thing up and she came into Sunset Sound. And I did photographs as well as I heard her recording 'Mercedes Benz' and really really shamed her. It was a really beautiful moment."

James Brown

"I'll have had great more than two years to cultivate after a high-speed chase, and Rolling Stone and White to photograph fans when he was released on July 27, 1931. I'm I raised that blemishes that's behind him in the picture and I showed up at prison and we picked him up and he took me to Augusta, Georgia, later sort of this Black

neighborhood which is where he grew up. And he showed up out of a prison in that outfit with the smelter, with the racer.

There was a little bit of some benefits and some incontinence to this moment. He was very grateful. He was grateful for me and Rolling Stone doing this piece. He kept seeing something like, you know, 'God bless you, Mr. White.'

Harrison Ford

"I want to vein a roots in the Mojave desert. It's called mafiere and in the middle of nowhere on Route 68. And I need to go out there a lot and I had a dirt meeting and Harrison blew to fly out to it and like, 'What let's do it out in my view.' So he'll fly out in the morning. And Harrison is not a watch-a-boy guy, but a young man. 'No price can, you get a 5-shirt and jeans, you get a button-down blue shirt.' So again, the dichotomy between the motorcycles and the toughness and the suit. So it wasn't as thought out as controlled as my photographs are and as controlled, in a way, as the one. It's not like that. I'm waiting for something to happen.

The labor guys are bloody at times. One is Nathan Lมาก who has passed away. And Lมาก was out there as well out in the desert. And I love bringing my friends together, especially friends that don't have to together like Harrison Ford and Nathan Lมาก who's a New York City labor type."

Johan Lennon and Sean One Lennon

"Johan's one talked about. I've known him for 40 years. I photographed them when he was a little but with his mom, and then I photographed him again as he started to become a old manstress. He represents you that they were never at odds. I mean, Johan had a rough go of it in that he lost his father many times. He lost him to them, he lost him to divorce, and then he lost him to a father. But I always think that he loved his brother and his brother loved him. I met called them up and said, 'Look, we're all in New York. I'll really like to do a picture of two two brothers.' And I do like a lot with people. I try and bring them together because I know that they might not like it now and they weren't like most cooperative subjects just because they're friends with me. And I kind of coerced them into this, but I know that they'll appreciate it later on in life. And so that's what that photo represents."

Whitney Houston

"She was embezzled. There was a time that she was really in a different place. I do remember being at her home (another time) with Bobby Stewart and photographing those together. That felt different. I think this is a good time to discuss the subjectively of my choices and what I do, right? I'm not capturing a conflict of somebody. I'm documenting somebody's life. Photographs is an illusion. Photographs isn't truth. Photographs is my truth. And so in the frame before she could have been laughing, the frame after it she could've been seeing. So this was my choice of a beautiful, sales moment I'm creating a story in the picture."

Danny DeVito

"It's sort of my homage to a Hitchcock portrait with the body shape, that side portrait silhouette of the body type. And I've said do a lot of different settings. Just come over here and let me get this light. 'Oh, and I love you, smoking the cigarette and the smoke coming out. I could backlight it.' And then it comes to them a smoke ring. And in my loss, I see the most perfect moment. So I think it was a little bit of sort of character-heroes mixed with New Jersey and Danny DeVito's Jersey sensitivity."

Björk

"The hand had just broken up. That went me and the mirror up to Reykjavik. It was the middle of winter. And I started a van, a free-wheel drive van, and I looked them all in there, and no just drove off into the volleyball, which was like a plane landscape. I went her and all of a million we found a vehicle coming behind us, and it was that fun, and we were in the middle of nowhere. And that two comes down the road and next came and the snow blew from the less. I met had her stand there. I remember I had a flash and it was to cold the flash until it from. She was in a shirt. She didn't care. She was so hard to it, we were all like. 'Get me out of here.' But she was really special."

Inside a former hospital in L.A., an examination of emotions

BY ANNA FORMAN AT LOS ANGELES Associated Press

I met beyond an ambulance and wheelchair camp wait 20. Meadwong said Dr. Rosigand, dressed in that bed white lab coats and ready to check you in with a room-orange patient wretched.

At this hospital though, it's not your vital deal will be examined, but your feelings. The "Hospital of Emotions" is an immersive art experience that explores different facets of being human inside the long-shortened St. Vincent Medical Center near downtown Los Angeles.

The former hospital was founded in 1918 by the Daughters of Charity religious order to treat poor people before it went bankrupt in 1922 and was bought in private investors. The site will be redeveloped into a homeless shelter and mental health and drug treatment facility, with the first phase opening later this year.

But until the end of September, the hospital rooms are filled with 80 installations for 70 artists. Each artist received around $18,000 to transform four floors of clinical space into explorations of feelings around everything from medical and family trauma to grief over climate change and immigration detention centers.

Shortly hospital spaces are turned into colorful art installations

The project was created in the spirit of Maew Wul and other for-profit amusement centres that approach art as entertainment.

As in Peace's "Inside One," color-cooked cruisers sprinkled throughout the show pervasively a range of emotions from joy and hope to anger and sadness. A finer orange monster winks from behind a narcosis station, while shading green giants embolizing jealousy face off in an otherwise normal snare room: their faces decorated with absurd, clonelike expressions.

37 bags are full of rainbow-colored liquids, overhead exam lights are festooned with a sample of artificial flowers, and crutches are draped with canoes, cartowards wigs.

Enter the "Resilience Department" and you'll find a prismatic, glass butterfly that refracts light, accompanied by an unsettling interactive audio piece about an artist's experience having an ephratic seizure. The center of grants and labored breathing in headphones contrasts with screams, recorded and replaced in the room to create a surreal, out-of-body effect.

In the neighboring room, a thousand sun-

ny-side up eggs are spiked all over the bed, walls and floor, which the artist, Melan Allen, said represent the eggs she was forced to eat during her childhood despite having them. The room especially measured with Sharon Maxwell, who drove from San Diego to see the show.

"I have lots of egg stories," she said. "I'm in recovery from an outing disorder, as I've been in treatment, I've been in hospitals. It's all very visible."

While going to the hospital can be an enduring experience, Maxwell said visiting an art show in one made her feel a renewed sense of connection. There aren't nurses, surgeons or patients here, and everyone is on equal footing as viewers.

"Being the person in the bed, being treated for mental health stuff, you're kind of like a spectacle," she said.

A sensitive look at anxiety, fear and trauma

In the "Fear Department," a virtual character based off a real person given a vulnerable speech about post-traumatic stress from serving in a combat zone and then ready a suicide note that combines multiple veterans' experi-

sence using AI. The installation is titled "The Word That Never Cheats".

Down the hall, another room is covered floor to ceiling in black-and-white portraits drawn with female lines by an artist who spent 15 months at a U.S. immigration detention center.

"I left Rumania 1912 because of my political views and because I am gay. What I thought would be a search for safety because a prolonged encounter with fear," Grisha Boyanian said.

His installation examines "how fear settles into the body, how it stays, even when there is no immediate danger, how safety, when it appears, both temporary, almost normal."

The most successful rooms play with the visual language of a medical space without prescribing what to feel.

In another room in the "Fear Department," artist Dongze Ling invited an extra installation of transparent figurines — molded from packing tape — to bring a vision of her grandfathers to life. He died years ago in Shanghai, where he described seeing ghosts around his hospital bed and before dying.

Towards one mutual position, the standard figures occupy corners and disappear into institutional-give ceiling vents. The work was also informed by Ling's experience as a child spending 10 days in the hospital with a town.

"I almost died. I couldn't eat," she said. "I threw up blood three times a night."

The process of creating the installation was intense, Ling said. When she tried to go to her studio room and accidentally went to the basement, where bodies are typically stored before going to funeral houses, she said she found something chilling: "It was housing cold and dead silent."

Recognizing a paradox of emotions

Andrea Boggs, an ultrasound tech, said the installations reminded her of people's tenacity and resilience even in the face of death — something she witnessed working in an intensive care unit and emergency room.

"I'm confronted with people struggling every day and getting through and losing strong," she said.

Boggs is moved when she sees a patient or their hands able to stay hopeful during a difficult time.

"It's encouraging he me to remember that that's possible," she said. "Even amongst non-narrative of sadness you can still experience joy, it's not like an isolated experience where you have to get through the sadness to experience joy, right? Both carers shared of the same time and both carers honored."

For other visitors, the installations also reflected their paradox of emotions.

"There's notice in someone else seeing our emotion — whether it's joy and celebration or sorrow and pain. There's something about the human experience where we need to be seen," Maxwell said. "This art exhibit really shows that in a profound way I think it isn't humanity on display in a really powerful way."

I planned to always be a queer, single cat-mom aunt. Then I met him.

Say More

PACIFIC

NORTH, AM

Dear Ray Moore: If you had

asked me two years ago, I

would've told you my plan was

to invite a two-year single-talk cat-

mom aunt. Then I fell in love.

I am QEMPOC and an

immigrant, he is in white-struggle; his citizen, a decade after thancer and didn't even know

what space or EPPOC meant before meeting

me. At the beginning, I was very clear in not

wanting the traditional heteronormative

relationship. He had to let go of precise-present

ideas of what life together would be and dare

to imagine a queer future together. But as the

months ago, I feel myself not only wanting a

wedding, which he (itself) passed meate, but

I'm also seeing myself as a parent. Yes, we can

create our own handy the way we want it to

look and feel like and yet, we can celebrate

the new one we want (wedding or not). That's

NOT the question.

The gem for you. How do I know I am not

only doing this "under the influence" I'll love?

And if I am, there is no fault! But then, not fair

to being life is simply when I am not sure about

my parenting but I can sure about wanting to

parent with the specific parent, even though I

know 50 percent of marriage end as divorce?

—Anonymous Yes, you are likely doing this,

changing your unburied plan, under the

I'm not sure about. More than you said, you said

your partner "let go of preconceived ideas of

what life together would be," so it seems he's

done the same. You're let love change you. Nice, isn't it?

Your partner seems like a decent enough

person and this isn't really about navigating

your differences or spending the relationship

but rather a fragile selfhood reckoning with

its collapse.

You're surrendering the "terrene single-talk

cat-mom aunt" archetype that has served you

for years. Maybe it helped you promptly

disease serious relationships, thus avoiding

the possibility of romantic failure when you

would't quite ready for it. Or did this process

stuck two-degree up at that party and the

stiffing expectations of the immigrant family?

(Do you hear them? The zantine asking

when you plan on getting married? I can hear

mine. — David shingles.)

Labels and sketches and plans can lessen

the cognitive load of modern life, and I know

it's tempting to drive to a script, but

overstretchation as poor sounds against

the inclement nature of the self. You and your

dances are going to change. A relationship, a

love, is often the nature of each change.

At the parenting... I can't advise whether

it's fair to have kids in this situation, only that

you seem like a lucid enough person. Some

people are sure they have a little more big risk

and aren't the greatest parents. Some don't

plan on it and make incredible ones. Maybe

the silhouette of "parent" doesn't fit perfectly

on you now, but it could if you said it was

new, but it could. I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't say that, I can't

Learn from my bungled trip

A seasoned traveler missed her flight for a cup of coffee

BY ANDREA BACHS

A medical emergency, a sexual traffic jam or change of heart are legitimate grounds for missing a flight. A cup of coffee is not.

Yet coffee may be reared. I was not on Flight 2247 from Reagan National Airport to Boston. Logan Jr. was, in fact, the only valid owner I could offer an American Airlines gate agent, chatter, customer service representative and my mother, who was expecting me on a recent Wednesday night and not the following morning.

Here's what happened: While waiting for the delayed departure of my flight, I dropped to an airport lounge for a coffee. When I returned to the gate, all of the passengers had boarded and the doors were sealed shut. The plane was still connected to the jet bridge, but the agent said no-go. I was too late.

As travelers, we make mistakes. Many of them we can shrug off, but some require a postmortem. I decided to review all of the decisions I made in that bungled day of travel. I also asked American Airlines and Katy Nastro, a travel expert with Vining, to weigh in on what I could've — and should've — done differently.

A preflight warning

My flight to Boston was scheduled to depart at 3 p.m. on July 22. The previous day, airlines had been plagued by delays and cancellations because of intense storms along the East Coast. I received an email from American warning of potentially disruptive weather and an offer to change my trip to a different time, date or airport.

How I handled it: I checked the weather forecasts for Washington and Boston. Neither seemed extreme, so I declined the offer.

What I learned: Nastro suggested to we stop weather sources throughout the day.

"Even if the impacts are minimal or nearby, there is always a potential for bleeding further into the network," she said.

American Airlines said customers were — flexibility should consider a travel waiver to avoid potential delays or cancellations.

Creeping delays

In the early afternoon, notifications about a delay due to "air traffic control management" started troubling in by text, email and app.

How I handled it: After the fourth update — the plane was THE MONDAY-EIGHT (10 PM)

Pour a cup of ambition and head to this rest stop

Dolly Parton lent her name to a roadside attraction. It's a destination unto itself.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE WASHINGTON POST

Dolly's Tennessee Travel Shop, which opened in June in Cornacoville, Tennessee, has a dog park, tour bus, restaurant, ice cream parlor and — most importantly — restrooms, gas pumps and lots of parking. BELOW: Aaron Willis performs at the rest stop. The complex offers plenty of Parton-themed goods for sale.

BY ANDREA BACHS

Angela Pierce faced a drive of roughly 2,000 miles. She had two dogs in the car and a husband who was landing soon at the Knoxville airport. Though time was tight, she had to make one pit stop.

The Parton director, needing to fill up on Dolly, detained to Dolly's Tennessee Travel Shop.

"I drove on here and a half out of my way just to come here," said Pierce, as her pipe-wooded in the Doggy Parton dog park. "I'm going to buy merch, and I hope I have time to get a Cup of Ambition."

Highway cars steps are fast becoming destinations in their own right. The Texas-based, busiest-faced line-ers ignited the trend; Dolly Parton is banning it.

In June, Parton unveiled Dolly's Tennessee Travel Shop in Cornacoville, better known as that 22. The country must clear and businesswoman assigned partnered with Gregory H. Sachs. The rest are at managing partner. (I am not related to Sachs.) After a devastating green fire in 2015, he decided to reimagine the roadside attraction, embossing a dream collaboration with the bespangled road warrior.

"It just dawned on me that Dolly Parton, with her bodando and her sparkles and her glitz and her genuine love for people, was what I was missing," said Sachs, who lives near Cornacoville. "And so one day I woke up and said, 'Okay, this is Dolly's Tennessee.'"

I have been on a personal Dolly quest in recent years, especially after she listened to my pandemic remake of "A to 3" during an interview on her tour bus. I have spent days at Dollywood, stayed at both of her friends Mountain resorts and visited many of her Pigeon Forge attractions, including the singing mainstream poultry at Frank's Chicken Cult. I have crept along hearty country roads something he has childhood calms.

When I heard about a rest stop headlined by Parton, I wondered whether the attraction would be pure Dolly or a chinstrous-crestricted North. The calms map with its 10-kce legend looked promising. The 10-acre property has a dog park, mural, tour bus, back patio, and gas pumps and parking for cars, trucks and electric vehicles. Inside, the 25,000-square-foot space contains a full-service restaurant, coffee and ice cream shop, barbecue counter, general store, trucker's lounge, live music stages and, not to be stuffed at, restrooms.

Of course, the only way to find out for sure was to take a summer road trip to Middle Tennessee.

Cowboy hats and tailgate energy

During in first few weeks in business, thousands of people converged on Cornacoville, population roughly 1,400, around town on a recent Friday. I was one of two cars cutting the ramp.

The Hoh Rain Forest gets an average of 160 inches of precipitation each year, yielding a lush canopy with masses and ferns that blanket surfaces.

The Olympic National Park hike that took me to the quietest place in America

BY RAIN HILL (Photo)

After just a few steps along the Hoh River Trail — a pathway to the quietest place in the continental United States — the rest of the world is already starting to hide.

It's said, then, the beginning of the tour summer at Olympic National Park, but somehow I've been lucky enough to snag one of the last parking spots at the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center. From there, most visitors were heading for the Hall of Mense, the park's famous short loop through a cathedral of old-growth forest. But at a fork in the trail, I turned to the other direction, heading toward the Hoh River Trail.

I'm hiking this path not only because I want to improve in one of the country's most celebrated natural soundscapes — but also because I want to know everything about the One Square Inch of Mores, a project dedicated to protecting the famous paddy of quietude.

The One River Trail stretches nearly 18 miles into the heart of the park, but it doesn't take long for the atmosphere to change. Conversations from the trailhead become more distant with every step, and the lions of car engines killing disappears, replaced by birds calling through the dense canopy overhead and the muted rush of the Hoh River through the trees.

Visitors once searched for a small red stone along the trail, marking the symbolic center of the project. That marker is greatest, a path ranges told me — perhaps carried away by a visitor or simply foeled beneath years of fallen branches, stone and forest debris. As it turns out, though, the marker was never the point.

When I called acoustic ecologist Gordon Houghton before my trip, he told me the project was not about finding one spot in the forest. It was about learning to listen.

"The first rule of being a true listener is to let go of outcome," Houghton told me. "The experience does not have to be something for you. You caught listen to what's actually there."

Tone in and you might hear a British singing from a tree maple or an elk begging in the distance. So you might spend an hour with nothing more than wind in the canopy, dropping water and the glacier-fed river, carrying an just out of sight.

For Houghton, all of that is a city, which was the parking principle behind nearly five decades he spent recording the natural world. But himself, under the globe to record natural soundscapes and found that the smallest sounds of the world are far more interesting than the highlight and, by all the places he visited, none captivated him

The Hoh River Trail offers one of the country's most celebrated natural soundscapes.

The Hoh River Trail stretches nearly 18 miles into the heart of Olympic National Park in Washington.

more than Olympic National Park.

"I do refer to it as the listener's freemate," he said.

His career was focused on finding, interesting sounds in the world until 1983, when Houghton suddenly lost his hearing. For 18 months, colorless singing in his ears left him unable to work and, at times, unable to clearly understand his own children. When his hearing returned, it came with an appropriate for silence.

"When my hearing came back, I had my quiet back. I was so glad I didn't have to live in that storm of some anymore," he said. "That's when I decided, I don't know if I can save silence, but I'm not going to blame anybody else until I sit back for."

"That would tell Houghton back to the Hoh.

In 1985, he designated the One Square Inch of Mense along the Hoh River Trail — not because it was the only quiet place in the rainforest, but because protecting a single point of quiet could draw attention to an entire soundscape. For years, he documented every aircraft that interrupted the forest, lagging the time, recording the sound and contacting airlines in an effort to recreate flights away from Olympic National Park. Some carriers voluntarily visited manufactured flights elsewhere, though commercial air traffic still passes overhead.

By Houghton's estimation, it would take less than one minute of flight time to recreate planes, and less than a dollar per tribunal passenger, to eliminate airplane noise — the greatest threat to the Hoh's soundscape.

"Part of the problem with listening to nature is that we're usually only listening to what's loud enough to hear easily," Houghton said. "But it's at the threshold of hearing that the world really comes alive. God whispers, while man shouts."

More than 1 million people now visit Olympic National Park each year, many stopping at the Hoh Rain Forest for an hour before moving on to the next overlook or total. It's easy to treat this forest as another attraction on an itinerant, and to none its greatest gift: the way human noise fades into the background long enough to remember how to listen.

Even as human noise continues shipping away at the limit of quiet Houghton has spent his career documenting, the Hoh remains one of the best places in America to hear a forest on its own terms.

Walking out along the river is a good way to get closer attention to my ears than usual. I hear he doing I can't identify the wind rushing through the canopy and my home upsetting in the sand. I'm not so much begging, and it didn't matter.

The back patio area of Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop, which offers amenities for truckers and casual travelers alike, in Cornarville, Tennessee.

Dolly Parton lent her name to a rest stop. It's a sparkly slam dunk.

TRAVEL STOP PAIN IN

The giant drive did not program me for the packed parking lot that radiated tailgate energy. I had to carefully make my way around visitors dressed in Dolly Parton T-shirt, young man, cut-off jeans or boots, despite the swoboring heat. One man had the audacity to wear a Bar-ect-like woman-style shirt.

With 100' parking spots for cars and the same number for trucks, I gilded right into a space. Arrested me, billboards for Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop competed for airspace with the McDonald's across the street. The logo—a mail flap girl with voluminous hair, charmingly high heels and a microphone—entransmoved the Golden Arches.

Before going inside, I followed a painted walkway sprinkled with musical notes and butterflies to a music tiller. Butterfly Lullaby (Mountain Gospel) "Visitors waited for their turn to read against the panorama of many colors and spread wings. Nearby, a black dress, found to be snap a photo of the former plate of a less amblazoned with an image of the singletons from her 1970s touring days. Decoding the tiny details is part of any Dolly adventure, so we mailed the meaning of 'TALY ALL'."

"Nashville area coke?" I thank cat and immediately regretted. Oh, dah. It is the song known TV shown, however.

Glittery guitars and cinnamon bread

The main door opened to a Mall of Dolly an})^{}c}an)^{}an^{}with rows and racks and shelves of gifts, some occludes to the Cornarville site. To center myself in the mardetron of march, I searched for a North Star, landing on a tiered chandelier made of stringed instruments adorned with rhinestones and beads harvested from Patreels wardrobe.

Because it was park mardtime—out of many throughout the day—lens spiraled out from the full-service restaurant and switchbacked around the ice cream packs and coffee shop serving Dolly's new line of coffee. Cup of Ambition ("It is it" reference noted). At the barbecue counter, an employee enticed the pulled pork sandwiches and pizza, the grab-and-go crumbles and car fruit remained virtually uninsulated.

Eating, I decided, could wait. No one was waiting to enter the trucker's lounge, a quiet retreat with recliner chairs, two TVs and, in an adjoining room,

Connie Wilkinson, Sherri Taylor and Dwayne Brown snap a photo near a sign for the coffee shop at the rest stop.

The rest stop has a buffet restaurant. (And much like the rest stop destination Bar-ects, it has a barbecue counter.)

the White-Wade Inundromat (hit for waders and dress) and showers (810 or free with a tank of gas).

I joined two woman decompressing after a four-hour drive from Memphis. The pair had organized the road trip for their guest of honor, a friend visiting from Italy who craved Dolly's

signature cinnamon bread, a Priceline memory from her years of living in Tennessee.

"It is a good one-day road trip," said Mary Collins, an office manager at a labor law firm. "Forgets, bunch of pilferrands in the car, hang out and eat some cinnamon bread, buy a T-shirt or a cool hat and have fun."

An employee presents freshly baked cinnamon bread at Cup of Ambition.

Collins eventually extracted herself from the plentier lounges and trucked down her friend, Melissa Thorson. She was squeezed into a vinyl booth eating ice cream. Thorson had bought one leaf, which she planned to consume before her flight to Naples.

"I didn't even check a bag,"

Thorson said, "so it's not like I can bring a bunch of breads back."

Music under Dolly's gaze

The lunch crowd had thinned out and my sweet potato had grown cold by the time the first musicians of the day started setting up. Simply by chewing slow-

ly, I had backed into a front-row seat of the main stage, which faced the restaurant buffet. Dolly hovered above us, in an enlarged photo from her "Dungin'" soundtrack, her red minute had pointing like a finger at Aaron Willis and Marmott Shor.

As soon as Willis started streamlining, the early-fresh diners glanced up from their tears of meat-and-ribose and tall glasses of sweet tea. They sang along to the songs their liked and talked over the cover they didn't.

"It's a child who," said Trace Sacks Justice, the special protects manager who is expanding the music programming beyond the days and Saturdays. "We don't want people screaming over their meals."

Upstairs and through the "Rockstar" thereof but the members of the Biltmore Rd Band were tearing their instruments for the 9 p.m. show on a screened porch with industrial fans (sic) and for cars (sic). Sacks Justice said the rest stop had originally focused on country music (sic), in the spirit of inclusivity, was broadening to other genres, such as bluegrass from Alabamane.

"It's kind of cool when you tall people you're playing at Dolly's Tennessee Travel Stop," said Kelsey Davis, the band's bible. "Not everybody gets to do that, and not every place you stop on your road journey is a place like this."

During a break from the three-hour concert, I ducked into the trucker's lounge. I sat in silence with two drivers and a western novice set on matte.

Sunday morning, I returned to Cornarville to hear Chelsea Rhodes, a Nashville singer-songwriter who was also back for an encore performance. She had played the Tennessee before the Dolly makeover. This time, she said, was different.

"I am now part of the Dolly family and experience," Rhodes said.

Before showtime, she dropped by my table and shared photos of her dog, Dolly flies in she scrolled through her phone, I caught Justice of the Town in County, "Let us on her west."

Bar-ect's in, Dolly's: How do they check up?

On the back patio, near the crumbles, three women from the Knoxville area posed its front of a Cup of Ambition sign. They were returning home from a conference in Nashville and wrapping up an unofficial tour of travel rest steps.

Parton's stop offers glitter — and gasoline

TRADES STOP FROM F4

Three days before their visit to Cornersville, they had stopped by Ruc-ori. The teaser, they told me, scored better on restrooms and prices. I had to agree with them.

The line for the downstairs women's restroom was frequently long, though I did appreciate the photos of Dolly primping. The restroom by the upstairs has had only two stalls and no portraits. They said the barber no here was 84 more. For souvenirs, I paid $30 for a Dolly's travel stop. I short, a Ruc-ori's cowardice cost me $20.

Meanwhile, Dolly crushed the competition in decor, professionalism and seating areas. At Ruc-ori, I am on the head of my rental car. At Dolly's, I had more seating

options than meals.

After two days at Dolly's rest stop and too low Cups of Ambition, I started to fade. I needed to exchange, as did my phone.

Both roadside attractions fall in the category of public charging outlets. However, I did find a power stop on the upstairs patio. I sat on the stage alone, but not for long.

A dachshund named Jake brushed over and kicked at me. His owner, a truck driver hauling boats, sat down with a beer and started telling me about the journey that had led him here.

We talked for so long, I had to halt to catch my flight home. I was full on all frozen — food, coffee, souvenirs, music, conversation, Dolly — except one. I neglected to leave time to fill the gas tank.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Parton is everywhere at her rest stop — including on this sign emblazoned with lyrics from "8 to 5." Melissa Therrien, center, visited with friends to pick up some cinnamon bread before traveling back to Boly, where she lives. Aaron Willis performs. Much of the merch features the travel stop's logo: a mud flap girl with voluminous hair, alarmingly high heels and a microphone.

Europe's royals built over-the-top retreats that are worth visiting

BY ROCK STEVENS

The royal families of the past — like those of the present — were fond of their countryside getaways. These lavish retreats provided an escape from the city and the summer back, a place for diversions like hunting and horseback riding, and enough land to build grand showpiece palaces and gardens. While Europe has many rural summer palaces you can visit, a few are remarkable for their sheer size, over-the-top epidemic and the larger than 80% personalities who built them.

The grandmothers of European palaces in Versailles — King Louis XIV's 17th-century escape from Paris. Louis was the embodiment of the notion that some people were born to be many — and everyone else just needed to follow the rules. As a "divine monarch," he had to impress upon his people that God really had ordained him to rule without question. And to do that, he needed an all-to-duty's house.

Louis spent much from the public treasury to turn his dad's hunting ledge into a palace fit for the gods (among whom he counted himself). The main palace boasts occasionally decorated with painted ceilings, heavily ornamental furniture and impressive art — even the three Lais ones being here. Most striking is the Hall of Mirrors, lined with 21 strobod mirrors. Each then, mirrors were a great luxury, and the number and size of these were — and still are — astounding.

Louis also built the ultimate garden — elaborately planned, pruned and decorated, showing everyone that he could control nature like a god. The garden's fountains weren't just a quarrel at all and engineering; they were designed to reinforce the palace's message. The Apollo Fountain shows the "Sun King" ("Apollo — or is it Louis?") in his chaired as he starts his memory across the sky, with his stereotype or dolphins leading the way.

For 300 years, Versailles was the most extravagant palace in Europe — sparking the rosettes-lots of many warmsters. In Russia, the Romanov's answer to Versailles was the Cothi-ene Palace, just outside St. Petersburg.

In 1715 Czar Peter the Great and his wife Catherine I started construction on a market two-story abode. When their daughter Elizabeth took over, she hired a famous Italian architect to rebuild the palace in a grand bar. These style that became known in Russia as "Elizabethian".

The Lisboa Fountain in the Gardens of Versailles in France was a marvel of art and engineering outside King Louis XIV's palace.

Visiting palaces provides insight into the monarchs who once ruled Europe. Pictured is Neurohwannlein Castle.

Elizabeth's roooo tastes are in full force in the 1,000-square-foot Great Hall, boasting 100 mirrors (inspired by Versailles' similar decor), and lit by up to 1,000 candles. Even more magnification is the Amber Room. This jewel box sits room in darkness with six tons of amber mosaic —

originally a gift from King Frederick William I of Prussia to his ally Peter the Great — which Elizabeth moved to the palace and expanded.

More than a century later, Bavaria's "Mall" King Ludwig II built Europe's most escaped retreat. Ludwig made preferred

In Russia, the Romanov's answer to Versailles was the Cothi-ene Palace, just outside St. Petersburg.

spending time at his family's hunting palace, Hohenschwanzer, over-leading with politics in Munich. While being there, he dedicated himself — like a kid building a tree house — to the construction of his dream castle on a neighboring hill. Built from 1603 to 1860,

Neurohwannlein Castle was the epitome of 19th-century romanticism. It's well-grained with many medieval themes, many from the species of Ludwig's friend Richard Wagner. The extravagant theme room, with an exquisite mosaic door depicting a visual-encyclopedia of animals

and plants, was modeled in a Neo-Romanian style to emphasize his rural status. And he sings in an elaborately carved canopy bed with a forest of Gothic chords option set top. Unbearcerly, it all lasted only 175 days from after he moved in, a panel of doctors declared Ludwig insane, he lost his throes and was found dead in a lake.

Not long before Ludwig built the castle of his dreams, his distant cousin King Ferdinand II of Portugal had built a romantic hilltop castle of his own: the Posa Palace.

Flandersant Ferdinand converted a 19th-century Marmottine monastery into a 20th-century palace that mates German romanticism and Portuguese virtue. The result is a crazy, colorful canarycle of Gothic towers, Romanovary domes, Maverick monarch, Marmottine carvings and Dinterland plantations. Located in Sintra, outside Lisbon, the palace was occupied by royal小说 2018, when they were visited in a popular revolt. The elegantly deduced rooms are still arranged as they were back then, giving the place an intimacy rarely seen in palaces.

Today there homes of crazy-inch roads are open to the mates — and the masses indeed come. Benefits should be noted (ring fans).

Even if you have to jocks your way through crowds, visiting them over-the-top retreats provides insight into the dynamic, often quirky monastile who once ruled Europe.

Learn from my mistakes. Don't miss your (delayed) flight.

MIRROR FLORENT PETCH ET

now leaving at 6:45 p.m. — and several false stories to the airport. I finally gave up and relocated from the office to DCA. If the airline rolled back the delay, I wanted to be within boarding distance.

What I learned: Nastro said I was right to head to the airport, because airlines can suddenly reverse a delayed departure. In addition, she said, I should have researched backup flights as soon as they turned into a cancellation. This information would have been helpful later in the day, but for a different reason.

Airport lounge lines

I arrived with time to left, so I swung to the Capital One Lounge near we part. The host said the wait was 25 to 30 minutes.

How I handled it: I didn't want to rush or risk missing my flight as I kept walking.

What I learned: Nastro applauded my decision: "Nastro is skip the lounge since they do not make announcements and you are left to micromanage your flight on your own," she said.

Ground stop in Boston

At the gate, I received a test with a new departure time of 7:30 p.m. and discovered the reason for the delay: a ground stop in Boston. A gate agent announced, "Whole up at it," about 60 mins summer later.

How I handled it: I saw our plane by the 2st lounge, but I did not inspect about the circumstances of the ground stop or the pushback time. Assuming I had enough time for a coffee, I returned to the lounge.

What I learned: American Airlines said departure times can shift earlier or later depending on the weather situation or air traffic restrictions. One agents, the carrier added, provide the next up-to-date information.

Nastro, he especially, decided the difference between wheels and tubing off from the nearest 7:30 p.m. and towing the gate. She said the agent should have cleared the more relevant pushback time, which appeals on airport flight information boards and in notifications sent to passengers' personal devices.

Waitlisted at the lounge

Still a 25-minute wait, so the host offered to put you to the list.

How I handled it: I thought I had caught on least before sale. At 6:15 I placed my name on the waiting list, plus the name (Mughan) of another throes' Boston passenger.

What I learned: As here is an "extremely relevant of time," Nastro said, but it is not a ton of time, either. She advised it to hang close to the gate, or could not even outdate moves by the flight crew and gate agents.

MIRROR FLORENT PETCH ET

"Their movements usually signal what is or isn't happening before any push notifications," she said.

American said lounges are a great place to relax during a delay, but passengers should still monitor their flight with real-time notifications.

Shifting departure times

While Mughan and I were discussing our cleared disgust of special spitters, I realized the time. My last test from American said 7:30 p.m. departure. It was about 7 Boarding was imminent.

How I handled it: I guarded the drinks while Mughan walked to the gate to check on our flight. She returned, parched. The plane had boarded without us.

What I learned: In a statement, American Airlines said that when flights are delayed because of weather or air-traffic control restrictions, departure times can change "as conditions evolve."

In addition to regularly checking the airlines' app, neither notifications and airport displays, passengers should "remain near the gate close to the posted departure times."

Airplane doors are shut

At the deserted gate, the agent informed us that the boarding process was complete and the doors were closed — and would remain so.

How I handled it: Mughan asked the agent to let us on the plane. Amuse of the 10-minute hard stop on boarding, I stayed quiet.

What I learned: Nastro said I did the right thing.

Conversations with a chatbot

I asked the agent to direct us to the customer-service desk to relocate. She said the airlines had shattered the desk and we must use the app or call for more customer-service number.

How I handled it: I had a

frustrating exchange with the app's chatbot, which did not understand that "I missed my flight because of a rip of coffee."

What I learned: Nastro said I had no response with a cue. "Don't give it a reason, especially one it's not trained on," she said. "A better reason would be Missed flight like to communication mean 'rbombling pretty reborn.'"

Trying to reach a human

The test was useless. Plan it by the human.

How I handled it: I called customer service and explained the situation, hoping to invoke the "Nastro rule" that gives airline employees discretionary power to relocate passengers who missed their flight because of an unavoidable issue.

The agent said she could put me on the 10:30 p.m. flight, but there was only one seat left. I offered it to Mughan, who had a morning meeting north of Boston and was on the phone with her company discussing options.

I asked the agent about flights for the next day (8 a.m. nonstop or concert through Rochester, NY) and Poston. She returned me that I had a basic economy ticket, which prohibits changes, and warned me that she should be charging me for a new ticket.

Message received: Take the first available route or pay — every, Mughan. Before hanging up, she informed me that a second spot had opened up. I could look Mughan in the one again.

What I learned: Nastro said I should have impassed the hot and gone straight to the human. "These boys don't get maniac, and they definitely don't understand a coffee flu," she said.

She also advised starting on the phone with the agent and re-frothing the app until the new reservation appeared.

Paying for my mistake

We landed just after midnight,

minutes after Logan Express stopped running, another every half hour. The next one departed at 5:15 a.m.

How I handled it: I ordered a car share for $15, but decided to give I paid for getting that ill-advised coffee.

What I learned: I should have picked a Poston Customer coffee capsule or used the travel app. Flights.

"You could have checked the radar and/or operational report for Boston in real-time through the app, which could have given you the total you needed to know," Nastro said.

The takeaway

I pleased many lessons from my poor trip position, but one of the biggest is I should never leave the boarding area of a delayed flight because the departure time could be in that. Had I known this, I would have waited and ordered my coffee at coming altitude.

The weirdest contraband that TSA has discovered this summer — so far

BY NATALIE B. CONDYON

It's been a busy summer at airports across the country. Even with the World Cup rush behind us, the Transportation Security Administration has been covering more than 2 million passengers daily as Americans and visitors alike embark on a season of travel.

That's a lot of luggage for country consumers to clear.

While officers have spent the bulk of their time looking out full water bottles and handy-size manoeuvre from an carry-on, they've also stopped some farm-brazer tissue from getting on airplanes.

Here are 75lbs most wherever the catches of the summer so far.

Live smoke grenades

Do you like your peanut butter crunchy smooth or ... smoky? At the end of June, officers at Indianapolis International Airport caught two live smoke grenades in a transfer's checked bag — one of which was submerged inside a jar of peanut butter. In case you're wondering — no, you are not allowed to travel with grenades of any kind.

An inert grenade

No peanut butter this time, instead, a transfer on June 25 simply studied an inert grenade in their carry-on bag and headed off to vessel a flight at a fewest Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.

The official had to indicate and close the security checkpoint and can be captured speculate and airport law enforcement, who determined the device was not at risk of exploding.

MIRROR FLORENT PETCH ET

A replica bomb and mine

It was a busy start to June for TSA officers in Ohio.

At the span of a week, they discovered a training aid and tank mine in a carry-on at Dayton International Airport, followed by a realistic replica pipe bomb — also in a carry-on — at

Eickenbroker International. Even though neither were technically weapons, they're still too rifling, and not allowed in either checked or carry-on luggage.

Five stolen cannonballs

Last month at Alabama's Gulf Shores International Airport, a

TSA officer named Austin Degree found out one, not two, but five small cannonballs wrapped in paper towels inside a transfer's checked bag.

While the cannonballs did not contain explosives, they were still considered cannonballs. In proportion were stolen from Fort

Morgan, a historic site about 25 miles from the airport that was attacked by the British in the War of 1812. In a statement, Degree said he'd never seen anything "quite this unique," describing the find as "an American stolen artifact-type situation."

A samurai sword

In one two-ton fear-told row, No matter how nicely you pack up your sword, you are not allowed to bring it with you on a flight as a carry-on.

You can, however, transport one in your checked bags. A transfer learned this lesson in June, when officers at Harry Keil International Airport in Las Vegas intercepted a seven-that-Three-foot-long samurai sword that'd packed in a guitar cannonballs for the warrior-arrestering, they were allowed to return to their artifact ticketing counter and check the weapon, instead.

Fireworks

Given our nation's gains for the entire explosion every July, it should come as no surprise that theory on a quick or TSA fireworks fireworks every summer (the agency says they see another spike around New Year's Eve). But not only are fireworks not legal in all states, they are also at risk of detonating during a flight and not allowed on board in checked or carry-on baggage.

Ranch dressing. Lots of it.

Wagon and explosives aside, the occurring find that defined the manner was much dressing, which captured the hearts of international World Cup travelers. Contained bottles of butter, which were were confiscated thanks to 75lbs liquids rule. It could like to take some ranch on your upcoming travels, rummy but to hand it into containers of 1.6 ounces or less (you could pack as many name that will fit into a quart-ume plastic bag) or using a full-time bottle in your checked bag.

How to Play

The rates of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comic section. As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math, just logic, reasoning, and an iron set. The goal is to fill in each column, row and SK3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don't focus completely on one plot at a time. Note: The whole puzzle is not that you go, because filling in a number in one plot could give you clean in another. What's important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle, not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other. Occasionally people start that, for example, the "bottom right" data puzzle had more than one solution. Well, you'll may, but the entire puzzle can be closed in only one way. Never need to guessing!
