美联储提高关键利率

沃什表示，需要“更及时地回归”到2%的通胀目标，并自2023年以来首次提高基准利率

3.9%

此次加息0.25个百分点将美联储的关键利率提高至约3.9%，旨在抑制支出和通胀。与一年前相比，7月的通胀率为3.7%，高于2025年4月的2.3%，而就在此后不久，唐纳德·特朗普总统公布了广泛的关税政策。

华盛顿 —— 美国联邦储备委员会（美联储）周三自2023年以来首次提高基准利率，以努力平息顽固的高通胀，此举引发了白宫的强烈反应。

此次加息0.25个百分点将美联储的关键利率提高至约3.9%，随着时间的推移，可能会导致抵押贷款、汽车贷款和信用卡借贷成本增加。在一组季度预测中，美联储还暗示其利率设定委员会预计今年晚些时候将第二次加息至4.1%。

美联储在一份声明中表示：“今天的政策行动将支持‘更及时地回归’到央行2%的通胀目标。”

此举发生之际，美国人已经在与高昂的食品、汽油和住房成本作斗争。生活负担能力已在即将到来的中期选举中占据主导地位。

在美联储公布决定后的新闻发布会上，美联储主席凯文·沃什表示，虽然就业市场依然具有韧性，但通胀多年来一直顽固地高于美联储2%的目标。

“事实很明显，通胀太高了，而且持续时间太长，”沃什说。

自5月接管美联储以来，沃什表示美联储致力于遏制通胀，且政策制定者将采取其

近几个月来，市中心湖滨地带至少有十几只水禽死亡，促使倡导者和专家怀疑是由于气候变化加剧的肉毒杆菌中毒所致

陷入困境

作者：Adriana Pérez 芝加哥论坛报

在杜塞布尔港（DuSable Harbor）附近波光粼粼的水面上，几只加拿大雁和一只双冠鸬鹚正在水生植物中觅食，前者啃食着羽毛状的叶子，后者则一次次潜入水中捕鱼。在码头和船只旁，一只美洲黑鸭正在梳理羽毛。

在这些大雁附近，一只死鸟漂浮在垃圾和植被之间。据县级和州级官员称，这只鸟很可能成为了某种潜伏危险的牺牲品，近几个月来，这种危险已导致市中心湖岸线至少有 12 只水禽死亡。

伊利诺伊州自然资源部（IDNR）证实，该部门收到了关于杜塞布尔港绿头鸭死亡的报告，并于 8 月 21 日收集了尸体以进行诊断测试。伊利诺伊大学兽医学院诊断实验室对其中一只鸟进行了检测，并于 9 月 11 日告知库克县和该州机构，死因尚不明确，检测结果不具有结论性。

组织样本已被冷冻以进行进一步检测。根据 IDNR 发言人周一提供的信息，组织病理学（利用显微镜研究病变细胞和组织的学科）的检测结果尚在等待中。

然而，倡导者和其他专家怀疑这些鸟死于禽类肉毒中毒。这种疾病在水禽中并不罕见，尤其是

辩方要求布特罗斯提交文件

“布罗德维尤六人组”

律师就美国司法部（DOJ）在案件中的参与情况请求给出答案

作者：Jason Meisner 芝加哥论坛报

“布罗德维尤六人组”的律师正敦促一名联邦法官命令芝加哥美国检察官办公室披露与华盛顿官员就这起争议案件进行的任何沟通。他们在周二晚些时候提交的一份文件中表示，政府迄今为止“钻牛角尖”的回应仅仅是持续掩盖真相的一个迹象。

在这份 61 页的文件中，律师指出，在涉及提起指控或起诉这些指控时，美国检察官安德鲁·布特罗斯（Andrew Boutros）的办公室在关于美国司法部官员是否参与的问题上，给出的答案涉嫌回避。这些指控在 5 月份因涉嫌检察官渎职而以极其惨烈的方式崩塌。

该文件重点提及了近期与布特罗斯任命的一位“备受尊敬”的检察官之间的电子邮件往来。该检察官被任命以帮助缓解争议，但在邮件中，她多次将问题推给“前台办公室”，称他们没有意识到任何“接受”更高层指令的沟通。

“‘指令’一词的插入似乎旨在提供一个巧妙且主观的逃避之门，以规避美国检察官所承诺的坦诚与透明，而这种坦诚与透明对于识别和

2026 年选举 学校董事会主席

候选人在电视市政厅会议上阐述竞争愿景

个人记录 受到审查

作者：Kate Armanini 芝加哥论坛报

四位芝加哥学校董事会主席候选人在他们的首次电视市政厅会议上，规划了针对芝加哥公立学校（CPS）的不同优先事项。这次会议整体氛围礼貌且聚焦于政策，对于已经熟悉这场竞选的选民来说，几乎没有带来什么惊喜。

现任董事会成员杰西卡·比格斯（Jessica Biggs）、前芝加哥教师工会组织者希拉里奥·多明格斯（Hilario Dominguez）、审判律师维克多·亨德森（Victor Henderson）以及前董事会任命成员森迪尔·雷武鲁里（Sendhil Revuluri）都在竞争 11 月选举中 CPS 管理机构的最高席位。

这次市政厅会议由 WTTW 主办，由“芝加哥今夜”主播布兰迪斯·弗里德曼（Brandis Friedman）主持，让候选人们有机会在现场观众面前，就 CPS 面临的一系列广泛问题发表看法。部分参会者向这些董事会竞选者提出了自己的问题。

“我和我的同龄人受到学校董事会所做每一项决定的影响……我为什么应该相信你会为了我以及我同龄人的最大利益而行动？”西镇奥格登国际高中的 17 岁高年级学生沃恩·韦伯斯特（Vaughn Webster）问道。

曾任芝加哥教师工会政治主任的多明格斯提到了自己作为 CPS 高中生时的经历，当时他曾组织罢课以抗议预算削减。“我希望你们在认为有必要时也去罢课和抗议，在门口与我相见，并让我承担责任，”他说。

亨德森也随之发言。“在民主制度中，你不能做一个旁观者，你必须成为一个积极的参与者，”他说。

董事会主席将在塑造 CPS 政策方面发挥重要作用，部分是通过决定哪些事项提交投票。这些投票范围涵盖从常规合同到该学区数十亿美元的预算，甚至包括关闭学校。该职位是董事会中唯一代表整个城市的席位。由市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）任命的现任主席肖恩·哈登（Sean Harden）不参加连任竞选。

在竞选过程中，比格斯凭借其作为前 CPS 校长的社区联系寻求支持；多明格斯呼应了芝加哥教师工会（CTU）领导层的进步政治主张；亨德森试图将自己塑造为一个独立的局外人；而雷武鲁里则谈到了他过去担任董事会副主席的经验。

比格斯得到了代表 CPS 辅助人员的服务业雇员国际工会（SEIU）的背书，而多明格斯则得到了 CTU 的支持。由于该学区这两个最大的工会拥有资源和基层组织能力，这些背书具有相当大的影响力。

市政厅会议的大部分内容集中在学区陷入困境的财务状况上。只有多明格斯公开支持该学区 101.1 亿美元 billion 的预算，该预算依赖于 1.5亿美元 尚未确认的州政府资金以避免裁员。投票支持该预算的 CTU 阵营成员认为，此举是一种压力战术，旨在迫使春菲尔德（州政府）采取行动并减轻对学校的削减。

但包括比格斯、亨德森和雷武鲁里在内的批评者认为，如果资金无法落实，此举将使 CPS 在年中面临削减风险。“我非常自豪能够反对该修正案和修正后的预算，因为我们根本不能依靠不存在的资金来前进和运作，”比格斯说。

当候选人们被追问个人历史时，市政厅会议变得更加尖锐。亨德森回应了一份 2011 年的离婚申请（上月由 NBC 5 Chicago 率先报道），其中他的前妻指控他身体虐待他们的一个儿子。一名法官曾命令他不得进行体罚。

“我爱我的孩子们。我拥抱他们……当我的孩子没有做他们应该做的事情，而我必须设立护栏时，我是带着爱去做这件事的，”亨德森说。

他继续说道：“这些指控可能是这个舞台上的某个人为了诋毁我、试图将我拖入泥潭而挖掘出来的。”

与此同时，雷武鲁里（Revuluri）和多明格斯（Dominguez）就雷武鲁里竞选团队提交的一项州财政投诉互相攻击。该投诉指称，多明格斯最近的竞选资金申报“不可能准确”，因为他尚未报告任何支出或捐款。多明格斯指出，该投诉随后已被撤回。

“我们的竞选活动从一开始就完全合规……森迪尔（Sendhil）的阵营撤回了那项投诉，因为它是毫无根据的，纯粹是为了吸引注意力，”多明格斯说道。

但雷武鲁里反击称，撤回投诉仅仅是因为他的竞选团队得知伊利诺伊州选举委员会直到10月下旬才会处理此事。

“坦白说，我们有更重要的事情要做，”雷武鲁里说。“所以，我们很感激该竞选团队及其一位经验丰富的政治操盘手最终决定遵守规则。”

多明格斯则反驳称，“这种绝望之情显而易见。”

比格斯（Biggs）同样被追问其在华盛顿公园伯克小学（Burke Elementary）担任校长的记录。她在2018年被突然解雇，并因涉嫌篡改考勤数据被列入“禁止雇佣”名单。

她辩称，自己在抗议学校保洁合同变更后，被解雇是出于政治动机。

在她当选委员会成员后，一名外部法律顾问于去年取消了她的“禁止雇佣”认定。“当时有一些关于细微行政问题的指控，我一直认为这是不公正的，”比格斯说道。

候选人们在11月可能面临的最大障碍或许是在这场次要选举中提高选民投票率。几位候选人的竞选团队发布了内部民调，但目前没有明显的领先者。唯一的共识是，绝大多数选民仍未决定投票给谁。

离开演播室时，63岁的退休警察何塞·奥尔蒂斯（Josue Ortiz）表示，他仍在多个候选人之间犹豫。“我想更多地了解关于税收的情况。这是我家人对话中经常出现的问题，”这位住在洛根广场（Logan Square）的居民说道。

芝加哥公立学校（CPS）家长布伦达·里维拉（Brenda Rivera）的16岁孩子就读于林肯公园高中（Lincoln Park High School）。她在活动前已经选好了候选人，但离开大楼时感到很纠结。“就像是你学到了一些新东西，然后产生了改变，”她说。“但这就是民主，如果我们想要更好的未来，家长必须参与进来。”

美联储

通过数据线索来判断通胀是否在朝着正确的方向发展。

“我们必须确信基础通胀正清晰且足够快速地向我们的目标移动。今天，联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）决定，这一标准尚未达成，”沃什在提到制定政策的联邦公开市场委员会时说道。

此次加息标志着沃什的转向，他由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命，并于5月接任最高职务。

但此举激怒了特朗普，他迅速对美联储做出反应并予以抨击。

“我们几乎在‘支撑’世界上每一个国家，这种情况不能再继续下去了，”总统在社交媒体上发帖称，暗示他此前威胁要阻碍部分贸易。“为美利坚合众国降低利率，而且要快！”

不过，他并未在公开场合因加息决定而谴责沃什。

然而，伊朗战争导致的持续石油供应中断已使平均汽油价格比一个月前上涨了超过7%，这威胁到将波及整个经济，并使整体通胀率顽固地保持在高位。上周的一份通胀报告显示，剔除食品和能源的核心价格在8月份略有加速。

根据美联储首选的衡量标准，7月份的通胀率与去年同期相比为3.7%，高于2025年4月的2.3%（就在特朗普公布全面关税之前）。

剔除波动较大的食品和能源类别的核心通胀率在7月份为3.3%（这是该首选衡量标准的最新可用数据），高于伊朗战争爆发前的3%，且远高于美联储的目标值。

周三早些时候，政府表示 8 月份零售销售额环比增长 1.2%，这表明尽管情绪调查显示美国人对经济依然感到沮丧，但消费者的支出仍维持在健康水平。

强劲的支出表明，目前的利率水平并不一定在限制经济增长并抑制通胀。

美联储表示：“虽然由于地缘政治发展等因素，不确定性依然较高，但国内支出具有韧性。”这可能是指持续的消费者支出以及大型科技公司对 AI 数据中心的强劲投资。

更高的通胀并不完全是因为油价。对 AI 的持续投资推高了计算机芯片和其他电子设备的价格，从而增加了整体通胀。关税可能仍在推高某些成本，例如家电，其价格在上个月大幅上涨。

特朗普严厉批评了沃什的前任杰罗姆·鲍威尔，认为其降息速度不够快。

他的司法部甚至针对鲍威尔去年向国会提交的简短证词发起了一项刑事调查，不过该调查最终被撤销。

当周三被问及总统可能对加息做出何种反应时，沃什表示：“关于与总统的讨论，我没有什么可以告诉你们的。”

特朗普的首席经济顾问凯文·哈塞特在周日接受福克斯新闻（Fox News）采访时，被问到特朗普可能对加息做出何种反应。

“我确定他不会对此感到特别高兴，但他将首先捍卫凯文·沃什的独立性，”哈塞特说。

沃什可能还获得了一定程度的保护，因为他的岳父是罗纳德·劳德，他是特朗普的朋友，也是其竞选活动的亿万富翁捐赠者。

在随利率决定一同发布的经济预测中，美联储官员表示，他们今年可能会再次提高基准利率。分析师怀疑这是否会在 10 月的下次会议上发生，因为那时距离中期选举仅剩几天。

高盛（Goldman Sachs）的凯·海格表示：“根据（预测），大多数联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）成员认为今年总共会加息两次，考虑到与中期选举的时间接近，10 月的会议可能会跳过加息。”

而华尔街投资者则预测美联储将加息三次，并在 12 月和 3 月进一步加息。

约翰逊的租客权利法案获得推进

驱逐与续租规定。

（从左起）市长办公室政策主管郑允（Jung Yoon）、市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）以及卢杰尼亚·伯恩斯·霍普中心（Lugenia Burns Hope Center）的罗德·威尔逊（Rod Wilson）在9月9日关于芝加哥《保护租客条例》的市政厅讨论会上回答问题。约翰·J·金 / 芝加哥论坛报

作者：杰克·谢里丹（Jake Sheridan） 芝加哥论坛报

市议员们在周三推进了市长布兰登·约翰逊关于彻底改革租客权利的提案，而反对者则准备推进他们自己的版本。

在市议会住房委员会中，分歧严重的派系在辩论这项旨在赋予租客更多权力并限制房东的争议性立法时互相抨击，随后市议员以 12 -9 的投票结果将市长的方案提交至市议会全体会议。

但由于最终投票定于下周，且一项竞争性的条例定于周四提交委员会审议，市府进步派与约翰逊的批评者之间关于今年审议的最具影响力的立法之一的争端远未结束。

该措施的支持者在会议期间承认对手的担忧，但认为租金上涨和租客遭受虐待是必须解决的紧迫问题。

“人们可能会有很多疑问，但现实是，这在其他司法管辖区已经奏效，我们有实施的蓝图，”第33区市议员罗莎娜·罗德里格斯-桑切斯（Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez）表示。“我希望我们能站在租客这一边。”

争议的焦点是约翰逊所谓的《保护租客条例》的新版本。市长在本周早些时候做出了一项关键让步，删除了的一项规定，该规定原要求房东在驱逐租客或不续签租约时必须列出具体理由，否则需支付高达 $10,000 的搬迁费。

约翰逊修订后的措施仍将创建一项新的“租客权利法案”，并禁止房东收取一系列“垃圾费”。它还将创建一个新的租赁住房服务局以执行租赁规则，建立一个旨在识别投诉广泛的隐形房东的租赁登记制度，并为面临驱逐的低收入租客提供市府资助的法律代表。

这些政策使市议员们产生了极化分歧，促使约翰逊的反对者制定了自己的反提案，预计该提案将在周四面临分区委员会的投票。

该措施造成的尖锐政治分歧在周三的委员会会议中可见一斑。支持市长方案的市议员们聚集在会议室第二排豪华的栗色座椅上。他们的反对者则坐在下面一排，双方展开了一场辩论，而所有人都似乎早已决定了自己的立场。

一些该计划的批评者认为，它在解决关键问题方面做得不够，例如贫民窟房东无视现有的城市法律。第3区市议员帕特·道威尔（Pat Dowell）抨击其为一项“自我感觉良好的条例”。

“因为它并没有真正解决我们在社区中看到的实际问题，”她说。

但支持者强调了他们与怀疑者达成折衷方案的努力，包括降低小房东的费用以及放弃正当理由的驱逐与续租规定。

第26区市议员杰西·富恩特斯（Jessie Fuentes）认为，约翰逊措施中创建的租赁登记制度尤为必要。她表示，今年早些时候，住在她所在的西北区、家中蟑螂横行的一个小男孩被住院治疗两个月，因为昆虫在他的耳朵里产卵。

“我们无法联系到房东，因为他隐藏在多家有限责任公司（LLC）之后，”富恩特斯说。“我有些租客生活在严重的霉菌环境中。年轻人患有哮喘。他们支付租金，房东也期待租金，但我们却很难让这些人出面，以确保其租客能够生活在体面的条件下。”

约翰逊条例的支持者认为，只有市长的登记制度才有足够的能力识别房产的真实所有者，而非旨在隐藏建筑责任人的壳公司。

约翰逊的政策主管郑允（Jung Yoon）告诉委员会，随着不响应请求的壳公司房东数量激增，该立法将帮助租户更快地获得问题的响应，在被驱逐时获得法律代表，并最终增加透明度。同时她认为，这将为与那些偷工减料的大房东竞争的小房东提供一个公平的竞争环境。

她表示，租赁登记费——每套单元在 $40 到 $60 之间，小房东的费用更低——每年将产生 2200万美元，用于资助这些新服务。

但第9区议员安东尼·比尔（Anthony Beale）警告称，市政府实际上无法拿到这笔钱，因为许多房产所有者根本不会支付。

“这最终将由纳税人承担，并且会使我们的预算进一步膨胀，”他说。

第36区议员吉尔伯特·维莱加斯（Gilbert Villegas）告诉同事们，必须停止将反对市长立法的人描绘成反租户人士。他再次呼吁约翰逊放慢通过该条例的步伐，尽管他计划在周四推进其反提案。

“如果我们打算玩政治游戏，试图让我和我的同事陷入这样一种境地——即如果我们不支持这项提案，就 somehow 变成了反对租户，那么这件事就不是这个意思，”他说。“重点应该是确保我们达成一种平衡。”

投票结束后，维莱加斯表示，他拥有足够的支持在委员会和整个市议会通过自己的提案。他说，他将继续推进，以迫使市政府管理层回到谈判桌前。

“然后，如果市长否决它，那就让他否决吧，”维莱加斯说。

陪审团就连环强奸案中海关特工的命运进行评议

作者：杰森·迈斯纳 (Jason Meisner) 芝加哥论坛报

在过去一周里，一名联邦陪审团听取了一系列女性的证词，她们认为美国海关及边境保护局特工路易斯·乌里比（Luis Uribe）是“假警察”——一个冒充执法人员，在芝加哥地区酒店房间内抢劫并性侵中国籍性工作者的男人。

在周三乌里比审判的结案陈词中，一名检察官表示，在某种程度上，她们是对的。

“他某种程度上确实是个假警察，”美国助理检察官乔纳森·希（Jonathan Shih）告诉陪审团，“他不是警察，而是一个持有枪支的强奸犯。他是一个穿着警察制服的强奸犯。”

45岁的乌里比正在德克森美国法院（Dirksen U.S. Courthouse）接受审判。联邦起诉书指控他利用法律权力剥夺他人权利，以及在暴力犯罪期间及与之相关的情况下挥舞枪支。如果被定罪，他面临最高终身监禁。

在证词中，四名所谓的受害者均指认乌里比为在2022年一系列袭击中 assaulting 她们的人，称其利用枪支和警徽强迫她们发生性关系并抢走钱财。

然而，乌里比坚决否认曾强奸或抢劫任何人。他于周二出庭作证为自己辩护，并试图反转局面，称所有接触均在双方自愿的情况下发生，且在他拒绝帮助处理移民问题后，这些女性威胁要陷害他。

在听完结案陈词后，由六男六女组成的陪审团于周三开始评议此案，时长超过三小时，但尚未达成裁决。他们的讨论将于周四上午继续。

在向陪审团发表的结案陈词中，乌里比的律师迈克尔·克兰西（Michael Clancy）表示，与所谓的受害者不同，乌里比“在证词中是真诚的”，并且“没有就自己的身份撒谎”。

克兰西表示，众所周知，妓女擅长“能够玩弄男人，能够为了工作而伪装男人”，而这“与不诚实……是相辅相成的”。

“我的论点是，她们非常擅长这个。撒谎，”克兰西说，“她们非常擅长扮演角色。这是她们的谋生手段。”

他表示，本案中的任何记录——包括在一次所谓袭击后在酒店床单上发现的乌里比 DNA、乌里比手机中的信息以及显示其行踪的收费公路记录——都无法证实任何强奸或抢劫行为。

“它证实的是他是一个不道德、糟糕的警察，他去找了妓女，”克兰西说，“而这并不是他被指控的罪名。”

克兰西最终告诉陪审团，问题的关键在于谁更可信，以及谁更有动机撒谎。

“这些房间里没有摄像头，也没有其他证人，”克兰西说，“只有他和那个性工作者。仅此而已。”

克兰西还就乌里比在证人席上提到的，在与一名化名为“蒂娜”（Tina）的女性发生性关系时得到了“一次很好的锻炼”的评论进行了说明。他称这是一个“糟糕的回答”，是由于对法庭上所有关于他的谎言感到沮丧而产生的，陪审团应将其视为无关紧要而直接忽略。

“他受够了，”克兰西说，“他被所有的谎言搞得心烦意乱。他被所有的指控搞得心烦意乱。他被政府对他进行的质询搞得心烦意乱。……这是一个沮丧的回答，一个糟糕的回答。但这并不是你们可以考虑的内容。你们不能因为他说了一些如此粗俗的话而将其考虑在内。”

在反驳中，希表示，辩方认为受害者实际上是某个旨在陷害乌里比的“庞大秘密中国阴谋”一部分的理论是“100%疯狂的”。

他说，人口贩子感兴趣的是金钱以及避开执法部门的视线。希表示，他们不会在敲诈计划中牵扯进警察。

Shih 还要求陪审团将受害者的证词与 Uribe 的证词进行对比。他说，这些女性在作证时“充满情感，伤口尚未愈合，且直截了当”。Shih 表示，她们有勇气走进法庭，面对自己的施暴者。其中一人在试图指向辩方席上的 Uribe 时，无法抑制地哭泣。另一人则在用肢体语言模拟 强迫她进行的性行为时变得愤怒。与此同时，Shih 说， 在证人席上“开玩笑”。

“他开了一个关于强奸的玩笑。事实上，他将强奸 Tina 比作一次健身，”Shih 说，“我认为这就是你们需要了解被告的所有信息。”

检察官在上周的开庭陈述中告诉陪审员， 是一名驻守在奥黑尔国际机场的资深特工，他“歪曲”了服务与保护的职责，从调查犯罪变成了实施犯罪。

但 的律师表示，虽然 是一个软弱且“有缺陷”的人，确实出入过妓院，但所谓的受害者是骗子，她们在陷害他之前曾寻求他在移民问题上的帮助。

决定出庭为自己辩护，这在联邦法院是一次罕见的豪赌。在直接询问环节，他说话语速极快，且显得像经过排练，告诉陪审团他出生在西塞罗（Cicero），由“两位慈爱的父母抚养长大”。

直视着陪审团，表示他从小就被教育要尊重女性。

“我的母亲实际上曾和我进行过关于‘鸟与蜜蜂’（性教育）的谈话，” 说，“你要尊重女性，当她们说停止时就停止，‘不’就是‘不’，不要强迫她们……我这辈子从未强奸过任何人。我这辈子从未抢劫过任何人。”

但在交叉质询中，他所宣称的对女性的尊重似乎变得动摇，尤其是当 Shih 询问他关于一次会面时——当时他据称为了去健身房而早退，但实际上却是去酒店与 Tina 会面。

“你根本没去健身房，对吧？”Shih 问道。

“我进行了一次很好的锻炼，” 回答道。

Shih 立即反驳道：“你把强奸 Tina 描述为一次很好的锻炼？”

“那不是强奸，那是合意的性行为，” 说。

作证称，他大约从 2019 年开始出入妓院。2021 年，他开始与其中一名女性“Lisa”交往，并与其发生了 10 次以上的付费性行为。他说，两人第一次在一起时，他的钱包从口袋里掉出来，她看到了他的工作证，从而得知他是“移民警察”。

“你可以看到她的脸亮了起来，露出了灿烂的笑容，” 作证道，“就像中了头奖一样。”

表示，Lisa 几乎立即开始请求他帮助解决她的“移民问题”，其中包括一份过期的工作签证。他说他查看了她的文件，并向她提供了一些关于免费法律服务的信息，但没有提供具体的帮助。

“我告诉她，‘别担心，这里是芝加哥，你不会被驱逐出境的’，”他说。

在 2022 年 3 月与 及其朋友在霍夫曼庄园（Hoffman Estates）的一家海鲜自助餐厅共进午餐时， 表示， 在中国的老板通过视频聊天加入他们，并向他提供贿赂。 作证称，如果他能帮助解决移民问题并让更多女孩进入美国，他将获得 $7,000 “外加免费性服务”。

检察官指控，该提议实际上是指如果 停止攻击女性，就可以获得免费性服务。 在周一作证称，在会议期间，她的一位朋友拍下了 的照片，并将其作为攻击行为的警告传阅。她还告诉陪审团，他从未否认参与过这些攻击，并且在午餐结束后几乎立即兑现了该提议。

“他跟我们回到了酒店，并与另外两名女性发生了性关系，” 作证道。

“他为此付费了吗？”美国助理检察官理查德·罗斯布拉特（Richard Rothblatt）问道。

“没有，是免费的，” 说。

针对 D109 包容跨性别者政策的诉讼被驳回

“这强化了我们已知的事实，即本案原告实际上无法陈述任何真实的损害。这场诉讼是对跨性别恐惧症的表达，仅此而已。伊利诺伊州的每一位学生都理应拥有一个安全、受欢迎且具有包容性的学习环境。”

——何塞·切-切·威尔逊 (JOSÉ CHE-CHE WILSON)，州级倡导组织“平等伊利诺伊” (Equality Illinois) 的公民参与总监

作者：约瑟夫·斯特茨 (Joseph States) 先驱报 (PIONEER PRESS)

一名联邦法官驳回了一起针对迪尔菲尔德公立学校第 109 学区 (Deerfield Public School District 109) 的诉讼。该诉讼由一名该学区的前家长提起，针对其跨性别学生政策，这可能标志着一场涉及性别与包容性等国家议题的法律斗争的终结。

去年，学区家长尼科尔·乔格斯 (Nicole Georgas) 指责学校官员强迫她的女儿和其他学生与一名跨性别学生一起更换体育课服装，学区否认了这一说法。乔格斯在董事会会议以及福克斯新闻 (Fox News) 的节目《美国报告》(America Reports) 中要求将更衣室和洗手间指定为生物学男性和生物学女性。

这起针对学区和两名学校官员的诉讼包括相关指控，称学区关于跨性别学生的政策违反了《第九条修正案》(Title IX)——这是一项 1972 年的法律，禁止在教育领域基于性别进行歧视。

在上周提交的一项裁决中，美国伊利诺伊州北区联邦法院的丽贝卡·帕尔迈尔 (Rebecca Pallmeyer) 法官同意了学区驳回乔格斯投诉的动议。

这包括驳回诉讼中的平等保护主张、《第九条修正案》主张以及第一修正案主张。帕尔迈尔法官放弃了对剩余两项州法主张（故意造成情感困扰和侵犯隐私）的管辖权。

D109 的一名代表在声明中表示，该裁决“提供了重要的澄清，并确认学区的政策与现行联邦法律一致”。

声明称：“重要的是，法院认定学区的政策为所有学生提供了平等的机会，并承认将跨性别学生排除在与其性别认同相符的设施之外本身可能违反联邦法律。”

声明继续写道：“我们的重点仍然是我们的学生，并提供让他们感到安全、得到支持且能够学习的学习环境。这一承诺将继续指导我们的工作。”

代表乔格斯的律师阿贾伊·古普塔 (Ajay Gupta) 大约有一个月的时间来提交修正后的投诉。尝试联系古普塔但未获成功。

古普塔是竞选伊利诺伊州众议院第 41 选区席位的共和党候选人，他曾提出愿意提供公益法律服务，针对学校学区的跨性别学生政策提起诉讼。

代价高昂的法律斗争

LGBTQ+ 倡导者对该案的驳回表示赞赏。克里斯特尔·拉森（Kristal Larson）是一位此前曾在学区董事会会议上发言的跨性别女性，同时也是莱克县 LGBTQ 中心（ Center of Lake County）的执行主任。她表示，这证明了莱克县对于我们的 + 学生来说是一个“安全的地方”，让他们能够做真实的自己而“无需担心受到法律迫害”。

她说：“我们为社区、公民团体以及坚守阵地的学校管理层的努力感到自豪，并将继续与他们并肩作战，以保护整个莱克县所有 + 家庭的权利。”

州级倡导组织“平等伊利诺伊”（Equality Illinois）的公民参与主任何塞·切-切·威尔逊（José Che-Che Wilson）也对该决定表示赞赏，并承诺将继续“与此类诉讼手段作斗争”。

威尔逊说：“这强化了我们已经知道的事实，即本案的原告实际上无法陈述任何真实的损害。这起诉讼是对跨性别恐惧症的表达，仅此而已。伊利诺伊州的每位学生都理应拥有一个安全、友好且包容的学习环境。”

但这给学区带来了沉重的财务负担；学区一份更新的支出跟踪文件显示，包括各项法律、沟通和安全费用在内，这起诉讼已使学区损失了近 $400,000。

这并不是唯一一个在跨性别学生政策方面面临挑战的莱克县学区。

根据美国司法部的一份发布文件，今年 4 月，北芝加哥社区综合学区 187（North Chicago Community Unit School District 187）是被美国司法部民权司列入调查的 36 个伊利诺伊州学区之一，调查内容涉及“性取向和性别意识形态内容”。

次月，包括利伯蒂维尔高中（Libertyville High School）和弗农希尔斯高中（Vernon Hills High School）在内的社区高中学区 128 以及 D109 学区，被纳入了由总部位于内珀维尔（Naperville）的保守派团体“觉醒伊利诺伊”（Awake Illinois）提交的一系列联邦民权投诉中。

“觉醒伊利诺伊”由香农·阿德考克（Shannon Adcock）于 2021 年创立。阿德考克是一位内珀维尔的母亲，在 COVID-19 疫情期间，她加入了反对学校口罩强制令和其他疫情缓解措施，以及反对学校开展公平与包容培训的行列。

阿德考克同时也是杜佩奇县“自由之母”（Moms for Liberty DuPage County）的主席。

“觉醒伊利诺伊”鼓励发起类似针对 D109 学区的诉讼。在一次直播中，阿德考克呼吁家长们要么加入针对伊利诺伊州学区的现有诉讼，要么自行提起诉讼。

提交的文件中写道：“……处理本案中向法院提交的虚假或误导性陈述的范围。”

5 月 21 日，在芝加哥德克森美国法院（Dirksen U.S. Courthouse）就“布罗德维六人组”（Broadview Six）案举行听证会后，左起第二位的卡特·阿布加扎莱（Kat Abughazaleh）拥抱左起第三位的安德烈·马丁（Andre Martin），迈克尔·拉比特（Michael Rabbitt）向媒体发表讲话。摄影：JOSH BOLAND / CHICAGO TRIBUNE 4 月 3 日，美国检察官安德鲁·布特罗斯（Andrew Boutros）在德克森美国法院发表讲话。摄影：E. JASON WAMBSGANS / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

法院记录显示，该案检察官戴安·麦克阿瑟（Diane MacArthur）自 6 月以来未在任何案件文件中签字。而与布特罗斯一起在 8 月签署政府最新文件的检察官，在几周前才刚刚加入美国检察官办公室。

该文件还对布特罗斯的说法提出了质疑。布特罗斯声称，在他的团队未能获得起诉书后，他在 2025 年 10 月收到了一份大陪审团审理过程的记录邮件——但他“非常确定”自己从未打开过它。该记录最终揭露，本案的主导检察官曾不恰当地为证据的力度“担保”，并排除了持有怀疑态度的陪审员。

“令人相当震惊的披露显示，美国检察官本人直接收到了一份据推测是加急发送的 2025年10月9日 大陪审团记录副本，再加上他认为自己没有阅读过该记录这一可疑的传闻主张，这使得进一步调查变得至关重要，”该文件指出。

该文件曾两次因延期而推迟，并在午夜截止日期前几分钟提交。这意味着在 Broadview 案件于 5月21日崩盘——布特罗斯本人在审判前几天出庭并撤销了所有剩余指控——近四个月后，相关问题终于得到了完整的陈述。

这意味着美国地方法院法官艾普丽尔·佩里（April Perry）可能很快会决定是否以及向原被告方提供何种救济。原被告方已请求就潜在制裁举行听证会，并请求可能任命特别检察官来追究藐视法庭的指控。

佩里法官将以书面形式做出裁决，还是要求各方进行辩论并举行听证会，目前尚不清楚。

如果佩里决定举行公开听证会，这将升级芝加哥久负盛名的美国检察官办公室已经前所未有的动荡，包括布特罗斯本人在内的高级职员将被迫就他们在 Broadview 案件中的行为在宣誓后回答问题。

Broadview 六人组的律师从一开始就认为，决定起诉这组当地民主党活动人士——包括当时的国会候选人凯瑟琳·“凯特”·阿布加扎莱（Katherine “Kat” Abughazaleh）——是因为他们涉嫌在 2025年9月26日 的抗议活动中阻碍美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工的车辆。律师认为，在唐纳德·特朗普总统政府要求以此类人杀鸡儆猴的压力下，这一决定具有政治动机。

周二提交的文件称，由于披露了时任代理美国检察官托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）的高级副手阿卡什·辛格（Aakash Singh）在该案中拥有既得利益，上述信念得到了进一步加强。文件特别指出，在 Broadview 事件发生当天，辛格的一名高级支持者在社交媒体上发布了一条帖子，称：“亲爱的芝加哥美国检察官安德鲁·布特罗斯……凯特·阿布加扎莱等人的逮捕进展如何？”

“记录已经显示，特朗普政府内部以及与其密切相关的人员，包括辛格先生本人，明确要求起诉阿布加扎莱女士参与在 Broadview 抗议 ICE 的行为，”文件指出。

布特罗斯由时任美国司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）于 2025年3月首次任命，他公开否认出于政治原因提起任何案件。

检察官在上个月解释其立场的一份文件中表示，虽然出现了错误，但此后已采取纠正措施，且没有证据表明存在足以支持进一步听证或制裁的恶意起诉。

“由于‘中途闪击行动’（Operation Midway Blitz），该地区处于巨大的压力、动荡和情绪之中，本案在此时期出现了违规行为，”检察官在动议中表示。该动议详细说明了该办公室此前已受到法院的公开谴责，且经验丰富的检察官承受了剧烈的“公开和私人审查”。

文件称，针对大陪审团事务的处理已实施“强有力的根源性变革”，包括对追溯至 2007年 的多达 1,000 次大陪审团程序记录的持续审查。

在一次罕见的认错中，美国检察官办公室在文件中还承认，在 Broadview 案件中移交的大陪审团记录被大量删减时，他们本可以对佩里法官更加坦诚。

这些删减最终揭露了佩里法官所描述的首席检察官谢里·梅克伦堡（Sheri Mecklenburg）的公然失职，以及法院与政府之间通常存在的“常规推定”的失效。

尽管辩护律师已请求就制裁问题举行听证会，并要求任命特别检察官以调查可能的藐视法庭指控，但美国检察官办公室在提交的文件中表示，法院的信息“已被清晰地听到，无需采取进一步行动”。

“本办公室并未轻视法院关于失去信任的声明。这促使美国检察官亲自向法院做出说明，”政府上个月提交的文件中写道。“……政府采取的各项行动，旨在真诚地努力恢复司法机构、辩护律师团以及公众对本办公室大陪审团及其他惯例和程序的信心。”

布特罗斯（Boutros）办公室提交的文件中包含一个脚注，提到在 9 月 27 日——即布罗德维尤（Broadview）事件发生后的第二天——华盛顿特区的美国司法部律师、芝加哥美国检察官办公室以及其他联邦执法机构之间举行了一次“虚拟会议”，讨论针对移民官员的暴力问题。在那次会议上，播放了一段布罗德维尤冲突的视频。

“此外，按照正常流程，本办公室与司法部总部（Main Justice）之间就案件更新等事项进行了讨论，尤其是考虑到该案在起诉后引发的公众关注，”检方提交的文件指出。“这些特权讨论不仅是被允许的，而且是在预料之中的。”

周二提交的文件披露，美国检察官办公室随后在给辩方的电子邮件中声称，“前台办公室”不认为与华盛顿官员的虚拟会议属于“一项指令”。

美国检察官办公室的文件还披露，在 10 月 9 日布罗德维尤案的首次大陪审团会议（该会议以陪审团罕见地给出“不起诉”结论而告终）五天后，布特罗斯收到了一封包含会议记录的电子邮件，这表明该案在办公室内部受到了密切关注。但文件称，布特罗斯“非常确定”他当时没有审阅该记录。

10 月 16, 即布特罗斯收到副本两天后，他的检察官再次回到同一个大陪审团尝试起诉，导致至少两名持怀疑态度的陪审员被剔除出陪审团，其中一人称该案是“一堆狗屎”。那次会议再次以未能提交起诉书告终。

大陪审团最终在一周后的 10 月 23, 批准了起诉书。在那一天的开始，布特罗斯本人亲自出现在陪审团面前，提醒他们履行宪法职责。

在周二晚些时候提交的文件中，“布罗德维尤六人组”的律师明确表示，布特罗斯声称从未阅读过电子邮件记录的说法需要进一步调查。

“美国检察官绝不可能在没有阅读首次提交起诉期间记录的情况下，就授权再次提交起诉书，这种情况在伊利诺伊州北区极少发生，”文件称。

辩方还要求进一步调查，为何由资深检察官威廉·霍根（William Hogan）批准的大陪审团记录删减在最初会被执行，以及为何霍根允许佩里（Perry）维持一种“错误印象”，即没有任何实质性内容被涂黑。

“烟雾并不总是意味着有火，但它总是进一步调查的理由，”辩方文件指出。

辩方注意到，霍根——几十年前曾处于另一场涉及 El Rukn 检控丑闻的中心——据报道还参与了另一项针对一家民主党筹款公司的备受关注的政治调查，该公司与审理特朗普 2024 年封口费指控的纽约法官有联系。

《论坛报》报道称，霍根的名字出现在 20, 2025, 8 月通过特别大陪审团获得的一份传票上，该传票要求提供 Authentic Campaigns Inc. 与包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）和伊利诺伊州美国众议员劳伦·安德伍德（Lauren Underwood）在内的一系列知名民主党人之间的记录和通信。

桥港学校附近学生开枪事件，校车助手获准释放

作者：Finnegan Belleau 芝加哥论坛报

一名库克县法官周三下令，释放一名在审期间的校车助手。该决定与本周发生的一起事件有关，当时一名12岁的学生向一把据称被遗留在校车上的装弹枪开火。

根据法院记录，22岁的史蒂文·迪克森（Steven Dixon）面临一项在学校持有枪支的重罪指控，三项危害儿童的轻罪指控以及一项鲁莽行为的轻罪指控。

警方代表表示，周一下午，一名儿童向一把据称由迪克森遗留在校车上的装弹枪开火，击碎了一扇窗户。

根据《论坛报》获得的一份警方报告，这名持有枪支的男孩有翻看他人物品的习惯。

这把枪是在桥港（Bridgeport）的米妮·米尼奥索学院（Minnie Miñoso Academy）正门外开火的。

报告称，在被校车司机质问后，迪克森据称抢回了武器和包，并沿着华莱士街（Wallace Street）向北逃跑。

迪克森被命令上缴所有枪支，并避免与除自己孩子以外的儿童接触。

在允许迪克森在审前释放时，约翰·霍克（John Hock）法官谈到了迪克森的年轻年龄、缺乏犯罪记录以及在整个听证会期间的表现。这名校车助手双手抱头，擦拭眼睛。

“我相信很明显，你明白自己目前所处的境地，”霍克告诉迪克森。

助理州检察官伊丽莎白·迪布勒（Elizabeth Dibler）表示，迪克森在事件发生约三小时后向警方自首，并向警方提交了一把枪、一个弹壳和一个背包。

迪布勒说，监控视频据称显示，枪支在另一名儿童的头顶正上方开火。

她将该枪支描述为一把黑色格洛克（Glock）半自动手枪，并指出迪克森没有隐蔽携带许可证。

辩护律师雷蒙德·本迪格（Raymond Bendig）在周三的听证会上主张，检方要求在审前监禁迪克森是不恰当的，因为这将需要证明涉嫌的犯罪涉及“严重身体伤害”的威胁。

“迪克森先生在任何方面都没有构成威胁，”本迪格说道，他认为将枪支无人看管与通过言语或行动威胁他人并不相同。

霍克法官同意检方的观点，认为迪克森涉嫌的行为构成了威胁，但法官并未批准拘留申请。

“这是一个极其危险的情况——那天当你选择将枪带到孩子身边时，这件事100%是由你一个人造成的，”他说。

迪克森预计将于下周一返回法院。

其他赛马场。

自从丘吉尔赛马场（Churchill Downs）在 2021. 出人意料地关闭阿灵顿国际赛马场（Arlington International Racecourse）以来，霍桑赛马场（Hawthorne）一直是芝加哥地区最后一家剩余的马场。州立法者赋予了霍桑在赛道及南部郊区开设赌场的权力，霍桑总裁蒂姆·凯里（Tim Carey）多次向赛马委员会保证他即将付诸实施，但始终未能获得融资或投资者。

今年 1 月，由于财务问题以及无法提供所需的担保债券，赛马委员会暂停了霍桑开展标准马赛（harness racing）的执照。

相比之下，该州唯一另一家赛马场——位于圣路易斯附近柯林斯维尔（Collinsville）的费尔蒙公园赌场与赛马场（Fairmount Park Casino & Racing），在 2024. 被 Accel Entertainment 以 3500万美元 收购。Accel 宣布计划投入 8500万美元 至 9500万美元 建设赌场并进行改进，目前已在其看台区开设了一家临时赌场。

赛马委员会授予了费尔蒙 2027, 年的 73 个纯血马赛日期，从 4 月到 11 月，每周运行两到三天。

费尔蒙公园总经理文斯·加伯特（Vince Gabbert）告诉委员会，该赛马场已将每场比赛日的奖金提高到约 $116,000。费尔蒙还计划开设新的场外投注站（OTBs），包括在迪凯特（Decatur）和斯普林菲尔德（Springfield），并希望在伊利诺伊州北部开设更多投注站。

霍桑在伊利诺伊州北部拥有 12 家投注站，顾客可以在那里投注其他赛马场的比赛，但伊利诺伊州法律要求执照持有者必须运行现场比赛才能经营场外投注。场外投注执照有效期至 Dec. 31, 或直到执照受到处置为止。这些执照与组织执照挂钩，截至周三，霍桑仍持有一项组织执照。

加伯特表示，如果霍桑的场外投注执照关闭，将意味着每年损失 $2.500 万 至 300万美元 的收入。加伯特说，费尔蒙希望州法律能够修改，以便在“霍桑被认定为无法继续运营”后，允许其接管伊利诺伊州北部的投注站。

库克县森林保护区（Forest Preserves of Cook County）的高级野生动物生物学家克里斯·安克（Chris Anchor）表示，在干旱期之后会出现这种情况。该机构与州政府合作进行病理检查，并检查湖岸线是否有更多死鸟，范围从芝加哥南侧的彩虹海滩（Rainbow Beach）一直延伸到印第安纳州边界。今年夏天受影响的大多数物种是绿头鸭，以及银鸥和环嘴鸥。

芝加哥鸟类碰撞监测组织（Chicago Bird Collision Monitors）主任安妮特·普林斯（Annette Prince）表示：“几乎每个夏天我们都会遇到此类病例”，包括在城市公园和更深入内陆的池塘中。“这无法阻止，它是自然发生的。减缓或改善（这种情况）的唯一方法无疑是清理一切。”

这家志愿者救援组织接到了关于 6 到 12 起疑似病例的电话，包括在俄亥俄街海滩（Ohio Street Beach）和博物馆园区（Museum Campus）附近——普林斯说，“显然，沿湖岸线的所有地方都是相互关联的。”

肉毒中毒是由肉毒杆菌（Clostridium botulinum）在温暖且无氧的水域和环境中释放的毒素引起的。根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，自 8 月初以来，密歇根湖的表层水温一直处于 60 多度（华氏度）后期到 70 多度（华氏度）前期。

当干旱导致水位降低时，腐烂的植被会被留在海滩上。当鸟类食用这些植被，或食用被神经毒素感染的小型无脊椎动物和鱼类时，它们也会被感染。这种疾病不具有传染性，但仍可通过摄入迅速传播。

“当它们死亡时，就会产生这种滚雪球效应，”安克（Anchor）说道。

苍蝇在死鸟的尸体中产卵，尸体内充满了被毒素感染的蛆虫。随后，其他鸟类以这些受感染的蛆虫为食，从而摄入高浓度的毒素。

“然后这就变成了一个循环：生物死亡，接着被下一个生物摄入，如此循环往复，直到过程结束，”普林斯（Prince）说道。

所谓的“滤食性鸟类”（dabbler birds），如鹅，通常最先受到影响，因为它们在水体表面或靠近表层觅食，清除表层的浮渣。

“它会从几只鸟突然变成 50 只、100 只甚至 1,000 只鸟死亡，我们已经见过了这种情况，”安克说道。“这就是为什么我们非常急于尽可能多地收集尸体，不仅是为了检测，也是为了将它们从环境中清除。”

据当地媒体报道，8 月初，在位于俄勒冈州与加利福尼亚州边界的图尔湖国家野生动物保护区（Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge）发生的一次肉毒杆菌中毒爆发中，有近 14,000 只鸟死亡。

禽类肉毒中毒的症状包括瘫痪，因为毒素会导致进行性肌肉无力，表现为翅膀下垂、腿部无力以及颈部瘫软，最终通常死于溺水或呼吸衰竭。

根据美国地质调查局的数据，鸟类中会出现两种类型的肉毒中毒。C 型在全国范围内的温暖月份较为常见，而 E 型在春季和秋季的大湖区最为常见。

北美秋季候鸟迁徙正处于高峰期，而芝加哥正处于美国最大的鸟类迁徙路线——密西西比飞道（Mississippi Flyway）的中心地带。

20 世纪 60 年代，随着营养径流在水道中聚集，产生了低氧区域，为肉毒毒素的形成创造了最佳条件，E 型肉毒中毒在该地区成为一个问题。根据地质调查局的数据，近年来爆发情况变得更加广泛。

由该联邦机构和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校领导的研究表明，湖水温度升高和藻类暴发增加可能会提高大湖区禽类死于肉毒中毒的概率。

由于气候变化，这些湖泊恰好是世界上升温最快的湖泊之列。

水表温度升高导致蒸发增强，从而导致水位降低，这是其诸多后果之一。2024 年，密歇根湖的水位在十年来首次跌至长期平均水平以下。

在干旱方面，根据伊利诺伊州气候学家办公室的数据，虽然伊利诺伊州的年总降水量有所增加——在 1895 年至 2019 年之间增加了近 6 英寸，增幅约为 15%——但降水是以更极端、更剧烈的爆发形式出现，且爆发之间间隔着更长、更强烈的干旱期。

一些科学家还认为，入侵物种的扩散可能导致该地区广泛爆发禽类肉毒中毒。

入侵物种圆虾虎鱼（round goby fish）——1990 年首次在大湖区被发现——可以帮助传播引起肉毒中毒的 E 型毒素。根据康奈尔大学兽医学院野生动物健康实验室的数据，虾虎鱼以湖底腐烂的有机物为食，随后鸟类摄入这些受感染的鱼类。

此外，入侵的斑马贻贝和拟斑马贻贝过滤水质，使更多光线进入。这反过来又加剧了藻类的生长，当植被死亡并分解时，最终会耗尽氧气。

“这不对劲，很多鸭子在缓慢而痛苦地死去，”卢普区（Loop）居民维多利亚·海伦（Victoria Helen）在上周遛狗时，看到一只雌性绿头鸭在港口东北角死去后，在 Facebook 的帖子中写道。

在海伦和其他居民表示，他们在尝试报告死亡情况并确保港口清理时被推诿后，州政府官员介入调查，并请来了库克县的野生动物专家。

“我们与自然资源部（DNR）、其他县以及联邦政府紧密合作，因为我们的人手实在太少，任何一个机构都无法独立应对，”安克（Anchor）说道。

他鼓励居民在发现死亡或濒死的水禽时，联系该机构或其所在县的森林保护区。

“万物皆会死亡，所以发现一只（死鸟）是很常见的。这很正常，这就是生命，”他说。“但如果你看到五只或更多，那么可能出问题了。我们需要去核查一下。”

7月13日，在市政厅举行的一次市议会财务委员会会议期间，第13区的市议员马蒂·奎因（Marty Quinn，左）与第28区的市议员杰森·埃尔文（Jason Ervin）交谈。BRIAN CASSELLA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

社论

芝加哥正深陷债务危机。市议会应通过奎因的提案，赋予议员对债券更大的话语权

在2025年初，市议会以极微弱的优势授权市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）政府再次发行$830 million的一般责任债券。

市长实际上不得不行使他在任期内少数几次打破平局的投票权，才使该提案免于被退回委员会，随后才勉强获得批准。

当时为何会引发如此大的争议？因为就在几天前，标准普尔（Standard & Poor's）下调了该市的一般责任债务评级，这是芝加哥十年来首次遭遇此类下调。此后，另外两家评级机构也加入了标准普尔的行列，降低了该市的信用评级，其中一家——克罗尔债券评级机构（Kroll Bond Rating Agency）——甚至两次下调。

此外，这笔$830 million的债券授权在结构设计上允许该市在整整两年内延迟支付任何证券利息，并用更多的利息来覆盖这些融资成本。投票反对该授权的议员指出，这笔$830 million债券在多年后的总成本将达到20 亿美元 billion，而这还是基于当时的利率——在去年的预算闹剧之前，而那场闹剧进一步损害了该市在投资者眼中的形象。

因此，一些理性的议员现在正推动一项条例，要求未来的债券授权必须获得五分之三的多数票通过。本周早些时候，市议会财务委员会以21-9的投票结果通过了该提案，而约翰逊政府对此表示反对。

我们强烈支持这一审慎之举，该措施不仅适用于布兰登·约翰逊，也将适用于未来的市长。由于该市的财政状况依然岌岌可危，其对债务的依赖程度已增长到令人担忧的地步。今年早些时候的一个典型例子是，该市出售了数亿美元的债券以覆盖运营成本——包括欠消防员的补发工资，以及不断增加的结算和判决费用，而这些费用主要与芝加哥警察之前的行为有关。

在约翰逊领导下，该市每年的债务服务成本（即债券本金和利息的偿还额）大幅膨胀。根据今年夏天发布的最新预算预测，他在2023年就职时，该成本略高于20 亿美元 billion，预计明年将达到20 亿美元.470 亿美元，2028年将达到20 亿美元.50 亿美元。在去年的预算预测中，2027年的预计成本为20 亿美元.250 亿美元；因此，在短短一年时间内，仅该年度的预测数字就增长了超过2亿美元。

其中部分增长来自由机场费用担保的奥黑尔机场基础设施工程债券。

但由财产税覆盖的一般责任债务服务成本也大幅上升，预计将从2024年的$323 million增长到2028年的59 亿美元 million。一般责任债务总额预计将在2028年达到59 亿美元 billion，高于2024年的不足50 亿美元 billion。

市长团队希望很快能增加这堆欠条。新任首席财务官艾希莉·加布里施（Ashlee Gabrysch）确认，该市计划在10月19日那一周出售$600 million的新一般责任债券，用于资助资本项目。

最令人感兴趣的是，该市将不得不开出什么样的利率才能甩掉这些证券，以及偿还结构如何。

政府是否会再次提供一种后载式（back-loaded）的还款计划，从而增加纳税人随着时间推移必须承担的利息总额？无论如何，如果该市最终支付的利率远高于其当前信用评级应支持的水平，请不要感到惊讶。

9月15日，标准普尔确认了该市的BBB评级，该评级比垃圾级高两个档次，但保留了负面观察名单，并伴随有

各种关于芝加哥财政轨迹的警告。其中，标准普尔（S&P）指出，约翰逊政府在执行安永会计师事务所（Ernst & Young）去年详尽报告中所建议的成本削减方案时进度缓慢。

面对 2027, 年 8.82亿美元 的赤字，市长将于下月公布其预算。即便市长和市议员选举在即，也没有理由认为接下来的预算辩论会比约翰逊任期内的前两次辩论少有波折。

在城市严重资金不足的养老金和日益增长的债务负担之间，其预算的约 $40% 仅用于这两项支出。这在所有美国主要城市中是比例最高的。

因此，市议会希望对这些将使芝加哥人承担数十年义务的债务决定拥有更强的控制权，也就不足为奇了。

诚然，无论是否处于财政危机，城市都有必须解决的基础设施需求。债务通常是此类项目的融资方式。但本届政府已表现出无法将“必需”置于“想要”之上的能力，市议员们要求更多参与权是正确的。

最初以三分之二多数票提出债券授权条例的第 13 区市议员马蒂·奎因（Marty Quinn），将所需的绝对多数票比例下调至市议会的五分之三。我们认为这是正确的举措。三分之二的门槛将使仅 17 名市议员就拥有否决未来债务融资的权力。五分之三的要求意味着 50 名议员中必须有 30 人签署同意，这是一个合理的绝对多数，能够鼓励在未来授权规模及涵盖支出类型上达成妥协。

我们认为，这种政策变动将被投资者和评级机构视为积极信号，更不用说纳税人了。

在约翰逊任期内发生的四次信用评级下调，使得他的政府没有足够的信誉来反对这一审慎步骤。这些市议员之所以希望在堆积在纳税人身上的债务负担上拥有更多发言权，是有原因的——因为目前没有什么比保护城市摇摇欲坠的信用免受进一步侵蚀更紧迫的优先事项了。

如果芝加哥公立学校能像埃文斯顿 / 斯科基的 District 65 在 Evanston / Skokie 那样

认识一下埃里克·威瑟斯彭（Eric Witherspoon），他是埃文斯顿 / 斯科基 School District 65 的临时学校监督员。我们只希望他能为芝加哥公立学校（CPS）工作。

威瑟斯彭接手的是一个财政混乱的埃文斯顿 / 斯科基学区。该学区多年来支出过度，设立了其无法负担的职位，并且在不得不应对学生人数下降的情况下积累了巨额赤字——这意味着其服务的学生人数比仅在八年前少约 $25%。该学区还开设了一所新学校福斯特学校（Foster School），尽管该校并非真正需要，但埃文斯顿的黑人社区主张这早就是承诺给他们的。

关于该校必要性的争论已无意义。学校已经开业。现在威瑟斯彭必须理顺财务状况。

到目前为止，他毫不留情地主张必须从 District 65 预算中削减 2000万美元。

他在周一的学校董事会公开会议上概述了其综合计划，其中包括：使人员编制水平和薪酬与同类学区保持一致（District 65 之前失衡），关闭两所学生人数不足的学校，减少“采购服务”，积极寻求效率并寻找新的收入机会。面对不可避免的反对——尤其是考虑到威瑟斯彭的计划是建立在之前的削减和预算缩减之上的——他指出，如果不采取这些措施，District 65 将直接耗尽现金。到那时，学区的孩子们该怎么办？

请看《埃文斯顿现在》（Evanston Now）报道的董事会会议中的这段话：“学区无法负担运行利用率仅为 64% 的建筑。”

当然，在芝加哥，纳税人们正在为那些只能在梦中达到 64% 利用率的学校建筑买单。

威瑟斯彭的论点是？当资源能更好地用于为实际在校接受教育的 5,900 名学生提供教学和学习时，将资金浪费在空房子和过去入学人数的幽灵上，对学生毫无益处。

我们对此深表赞同。我们也同样赞同他的观点，即这类财务问题最好通过一次财政大手术来解决，尽管过程可能痛苦，但能让学区摆脱长期笼罩的阴霾，在可持续的道路上重新开始并建设。

我们希望 District 65 董事会、埃文斯顿社区以及斯科基的服务区域能意识到威瑟斯彭是正确的。埃文斯顿历来以其提供的优质公共教育而闻名，但质量需要可持续性。

芝加哥公立学校应该关注一下正北边这个以自由主义著称的郊区所发生的事情。那里由一位睿智的人在掌舵。至少在临时任期内是这样。而且他似乎致力于确保无论谁接替他，都能拥有一条前进之路。

56年前的今天：我们的校园、目的与手段

昨天在堪萨斯州立大学，尼克松总统深入阐述了关于“目的与手段”这一重大议题。这是一个经典且永恒的话题，很难就此提出完全新颖的见解。但此时讨论此话题正当其时，因为大学校园正被一小部分愿意采取恶劣手段的少数派所破坏。

尼克松的论点是：“在自由社会中，无论实施者是谁，无论其所谓的理由是什么，暴力和恐怖都没有生存空间。在一个提供和平变革手段的体制中，没有任何理由能以变革之名证明暴力的正当性。”将这一论点应用于高等教育背景，尼克松表示：“现在是负责任的大学和学院管理人员、教师以及学生领袖挺身而出、表明立场的时候了。只有他们才能拯救美国的高等教育。”

这句话必须被说出来，尽管这种必要性简直令人难以置信。近几个月来，校园社区中发生杀人暴力的事件有所增加，每个人在面对现在开启的新学年时都感到相当焦虑。记录清晰地表明，当代的校园闹剧既不幽默也不无害，而是极其严重，且不惜采取任何手段。记录还显示，大学当局在应当迅速且果断采取行动时，往往犹豫不决且妥协过多。在此时此刻的大学校园发表重大演说，总统无法选择比他在堪萨斯州立大学所阐述的这个主题更合适的议题了。

总统的论点因其极其合理且公正而更具说服力。他昨天采取的高姿态并未寻求党派利益。他以每个人的总统身份发言，其措辞令任何一个好公民——无论其对总统某些政策持多么批判的态度——都能为其喝彩并赞赏。

弗朗西斯·帕克学校可以将原则付诸实践

作者：卡尔·皮特 (Karl Peet)

特约撰稿

125年来，弗朗西斯·W·帕克学校（Francis W. Parker School）一直秉持“一种进步的教育方法，挑战学生进行批判性思考，以共情心行动，并与周围的世界进行有意义的互动”。

作为一名近期帕克学校毕业生的家长以及该学校社区的长期成员，我认为学校现在有一个绝佳的机会将这些原则付诸实践。

与社区中的许多人一样，我支持帕克学校对其下一阶段发展的雄心。学校打算增加接收125名学生，增加财务援助并改善设施，以加强这一造福了数代芝加哥学生的机构。

这些目标值得支持。然而，一个更重要的问题是，帕克学校最初的提案——将其规模扩展到一条密集的住宅街道并拆除15套家庭住房——是否是实现这些目标最有效、最高效且最具包容性的解决方案。

一份由社区制定的替代方案建议了一种更优化且更公平的方法。该计划将在推进帕克学校目标的同时，更好地利用

帕克学校最初的提案代表了其董事会成员和管理人员的巨大努力。但负责任的管理并不意味着因为某个想法受到内部圈子的青睐就死守不放。它意味着灵活思考并严格审查有前景的新替代方案。

学校现有的6英亩校园和资产，增加有价值的新设施，并产生显著的净节省，从而支持帕克学校的教育优先事项。

对于每一个关心帕克学校使命的人来说，这应该是一个具有吸引力的主张。

对于学生而言，这意味着将有更多资源用于财务援助和教育项目。对于教职员工而言，这将提高薪资和专业发展。对于校友和捐赠者而言，这将使慈善资金发挥更大作用。

而对于现在和未来的家长来说，这将增强帕克学校的教学供给，甚至可能减缓学费上涨的幅度。

与原方案相比，替代方案还提出了更切实可行的校园改进措施：一个受保护的学生接送区、为教职员工提供的有顶棚停车场、旨在将能源成本降低预计40%至60%的地热井，以及一个潜在的先进水上中心，为帕克学生提供新的体育选择，并为管理层提供一个新的招生吸引力。

帕克学校现在有幸可以考虑多种规划愿景。它可以评估教育效益、财务援助能力、教师需求、交通循环和环境表现，并确定每种方案中的哪些方面最能服务于学校的长期需求。

这些选项让人想起帕克学校校长丹尼尔·B·弗兰克（Daniel B. Frank）的话，他将进步教育描述为接纳“深思熟虑的想法和新的探究模式”，并展现出“独立思考的正直，尤其是如果在倾听和反思之后，一个人改变了自己的想法”。

替代方案为帕克学校董事会和管理层提供了一个在机构层面践行这些原则并反映更广泛社区需求的机会。

帕克学校最初的提案代表了其董事会成员和管理人员的巨大努力。

但负责任的管理并不意味着因为某个想法受到内部圈子的青睐就死守不放。

它意味着灵活思考并严格审查有前景的新替代方案。

这样做还将产生另一个无价的资产：围绕学校未来的更强大的帕克社区凝聚力，因为大多数社区成员并未认可原方案，且越来越多的人在表达对替代方案的支持。

替代方案为帕克学校提供了一个在优化现有占地面积的同时扩大机遇的机会，旨在增加收入而非拆除有价值的资产，并在加强与芝加哥市民关系的同时扩大社区规模。

需要明确的是：这并非在支持或反对帕克学校的目标之间做选择。这是一个让帕克学校接下来的 125 年——以及其现有的 6 英亩占地面积——变得比以往任何时候都更有价值的机会。

作为一名曾在帕克学校有孩子就读的家长，我希望看到这所学校繁荣发展。而确保学校成功的最佳方式，用弗兰克的话来说，就是接纳新的探索模式。

我希望帕克学校的董事会和管理层能够尊重社区对财政责任和尽职调查的诉求，并在一个次优方案变得不可逆转之前，对规划选项进行公正且透明的评估。

同时，我希望芝加哥规划委员会的成员能够听到所有关注帕克学校未来的声音——而不仅仅是董事会和管理层的声音——并得出结论：在人口稠密的住宅区申请重新规划土地用途，对所有相关方都将产生反作用。

弗兰克最近勉励帕克社区，要将这所学校建设成一个“比我们接手时更好、更具包容性和创造力的地方”。替代方案正是实现这一目标的绝佳机会。

市政府应拒绝私立学校的扩建计划

作者：凯尔西·伯尔 (Kelsey Burr)

特约撰稿

芝加哥需要强大的学校、医院、文化机构和非营利组织。虽然其中一些机构服务于公众，但另一些机构（如私立学校）主要服务于那些愿意且能够支付服务费的人群。

它们的免税身份意味着它们不对城市服务的支付做出贡献。此外，当它们购买私有财产以扩建校园时，它们会补偿土地所有者，但不会补偿城市因税收永久损失而遭受的损失。

当私立学校希望以纳税人的代价扩建校园时，现在是时候对它们提出更高要求了。

弗朗西斯·W·帕克学校（Francis W. Parker）的情况完美地说明了其中的利害关系。这是一家位于林肯公园（Lincoln Park）的精英私立学校，自1932年以来一直享有免税地位。帕克学校计划将西贝尔登大道（West Belden Avenue）上一栋位于街区中间、拥有15个单元的多户住宅楼转换为学校空间，在公共小巷上增加一座行人桥，并在其体育场安装体育场照明灯。

根据该校的说法，该项目将增加大约125名学生和30名员工的空间。

帕克学校的提案带来了真实的、以人为代价的成本，这不仅影响一个街区，而是影响整个城市。在我们试图制定政策以增加住房储备时，它将吞噬住房。在我们试图让街道保持活力并让顾客光顾当地商店时，它将驱逐家庭并永久改变一个充满活力的住宅区。

最重要的是，我们失去了为当地税基做出贡献并资助重要公共服务的财产。

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的公共政策教授大卫·梅里曼（David Merriman）使用了一种常用的财务分析工具，来确定该多户住宅楼未来将产生的所有税收在今天的价值，并将其与帕克学校声称与该提案相关的利益在今天的价值进行了比较。梅里曼将该建筑的税收收入在今天的价值评估为超过1000万美元。

与这些损失相抵消的公共利益不足100万美元。纳税人的损失比例为10-1. 失去未来的税收意味着我们的公立学校、公园、城市服务和老化的基础设施将因为一家免税私立机构的扩建计划而受损。

我们都应该感到警觉。这不仅仅关乎一栋住宅楼。多年来，允许这些重复的收购累积起来，将财务负担转移到了我们这些被留下的人身上。为什么城市居民应该接受较低的服务水平，或者被迫为私立机构买单？

帕克学校的计划还要求安装体育场照明灯。帕克学校的场地就位于住宅对面。帕克学校计划为其场地安装照明，并在6:30 a.m.至9 p.m.举行活动，并增加场地的使用率，从而给安静的住宅街区带来更多的交通流量和噪音，进一步给纳税人支持的公共街道和服务增加压力。

为什么居民应该失去在自家中安静生活的权利，以便一家私立机构能够扩建校园并延长营业时间？

帕克学校曾在2012.年尝试增加体育场照明。这次尝试导致市议会出台了一项条例，禁止在体育场安装永久性照明。帕克学校声称新技术将使照明问题不再成为问题；然而，拟议的照明技术尚未在任何地方获得在距离住宅65英尺范围内安装的认证。此外，照明无法解决因延长场地使用而导致的公共干扰和噪音问题。

市政府应该保护那些希望在自己家中平安生活的房主和租客。新的照明技术并没有改变住宅区与寻求对隔壁财产进行更沉重、更密集利用的私立机构之间的核心冲突。

在这种情况下，社区所做的不仅仅是简单的反对。居民们聘请了一位建筑师，并制定了一份深思熟虑且全面的替代方案，在满足帕克（Parker）所述需求的同时，保留了住房并维持了社区的特色。这份更好的方案表明，帕克可以在不拆除有人居住的房屋，也不给附近居民带来噪音和拥堵负担的情况下，改善其校园以实现教育目标。

芝加哥应当要求每一个寻求向住宅区扩张的私立机构，必须对住房和税收收入的损失，以及噪音、交通、照明和其他损害的增加做出说明。

我们的民选官员必须在谈判开始之前以及市议会投票之前，将居民纳入规划过程中。在这种情况下，市政府到目前为止一直忽视来自 2,000 多名居民的书面请愿书，并且在与帕克的谈判中没有让当地社区协会参与。

结果就是，该方案仍然过于向私人利益倾斜，而忽视了公共利益。

芝加哥规划委员会应当拒绝帕克的申请。如果它不愿这样做，则应当推迟任何投票，直到更新后的交通研究报告公开、社区成员有充足的时间进行审查和回应，并且社区的替代方案得到认真考虑。帕克和市政府不应轻视社区的工作，而应真诚地与居民接触，制定一个既能满足学校需求又能回应社区合理关切的计划。一条可行的路径应当通过真正的协作来塑造，而不是在最重要的选择已经做出之后强加于人。

这个问题不仅限于帕克和林肯公园（Lincoln Park）。如果没有严格的标准，私立免税机构将继续收购住宅房产，并以牺牲我们的利益为代价，将我们的社区变成其校园的延伸。一旦房屋被拆除，房产从税基中移除，社区特色丧失，芝加哥将无法将其挽回。

民意之声

约翰逊利用 AIPAC 刷存在感

感谢《论坛报》编辑部在 9 月 15 日发表的社论——《市长约翰逊以一场充满恶意的演讲开启连任竞选》。为什么芝加哥市长现任候选人约翰逊在竞选启动演讲中将美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）作为攻击目标，而该组织根本没有参与此次竞选？

约翰逊发现，与其致力于改善这座城市的生活或平衡预算，不如利用分裂与仇恨的政治来煽动支持，这样更为简单。上个月在“Let’s Be Clear”播客中，他也发出了类似的暗示，似乎将轰炸巴勒斯坦人与从黑人社区撤走的资金联系在一起。

约翰逊表示，将他对以色列的批评贴上“反犹主义”的标签是“巫术”。可怕的是，对于一个在竞争激烈的局面中走投无路的候选人来说，攻击少数群体可能会奏效。我希望芝加哥市民能让他明白，这行不通。

乔什·辛格，芝加哥

市长，请凭政绩竞选

市长布兰登·约翰逊在启动连任竞选时明确表示，如果你接受美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）或迈克尔·萨克斯（Michael Sacks）的资金，你就不能成为一名“真正的”进步主义者。

这是一个试金石：只要获得其中任何一方的支持，你就失败了。AIPAC 已成为候选人们的“耻辱烙印”——只要拿了它的钱，无论你的观点或政绩如何，都会被进步主义阵营拒之门外。

其暗示是，AIPAC 的捐款可以买到在以色列相关问题上的投票权。但这只有在你相信竞选捐款总能带来捐赠者想要的结果时才成立，而这永远无法保证。我不明白为什么以色列问题会成为芝加哥市长竞选的考量因素，但约翰逊无法克制地将 AIPAC 拖入其中，以迎合进步主义者。攻击捐赠者比凭政绩竞选要容易得多——尤其是像约翰逊这样单薄的政绩。如果我是他，我也会寻找转移注意力的手段。

对萨克斯的攻击则更令人不安。此人曾支持巴拉克·奥巴马；他是一位资深的民主党人，支持过党内的多位候选人，包括 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）。如果约翰逊的治理哪怕达到合理的水平，我怀疑萨克斯也会支持他。然而，萨克斯却被与 AIPAC 混为一谈。

事实是，萨克斯深切关心芝加哥。甚至普利兹克也为他辩护，称他是一个“善良、体面、正直”且深切关注民主党价值的人。但在约翰逊看来，他只不过是扔给进步主义基本盘的一块“红肉”。

给约翰逊一个建议：他应该凭政绩竞选。如果他真的认为自己做得很好，就应该让工作成果说话。但请把那些转移注意力的手段抛弃吧。我们值得拥有更好的领导者。 —— 迪恩·格伯，芝加哥

市长是特朗普的模仿者

我完全同意《论坛报》编辑部的断言，即市长布兰登·约翰逊非常像特朗普。从就职的第一天起，他就显得力不从心。他对熊队体育场问题的处理，揭示了他多么不适合担任领导者。他的议程是提升城市中弱势群体的地位，但似乎在每一个转折点上，由于缺乏商业知识和简单的常识，他都让自己口中声称要捍卫的选民陷入了险境。

他证明了自己不过是一个廉价的唐纳德·特朗普模仿者。而原版已经足够让人受不了了。 —— 托德·斯威夫特，芝加哥

另一个约翰逊当市长

当我第一次看到9月14日的头版时，我感到有些困惑。熊队主教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）和芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊（Brandon Johnson）都在报道中被重点提及。

我不住在芝加哥，但我读到了关于市长及其寻求连任任务的报道，尽管他在筹款方面远落后于对手。接着我读到了关于熊队教练的报道，他不是芝加哥居民，因此不能竞选市长。然而，在熊队球迷目睹球队以 59-37 击败卡罗来纳黑豹队之后，我想说，无论本·约翰逊是否是芝加哥居民，他都会是市长职位的不二之选。

我们知道这不现实，但这确实让这一周在极佳的心情中开启。

熊队加油！

红线延伸工程迟到太久

半个多世纪以来，远南区一直在等待红线延伸工程——这个项目本应在我这样的家庭在英格伍德抚养 10 个孩子、且机遇取决于交通便捷程度的那个年代就建成。早在 20 世纪 60 年代末和 70 年代，当规划者首次讨论将红线的丹·赖恩段延伸至 95 街以外时，延伸的需求就已经很明确了。

如果芝加哥当时采取行动，根据那个 era. 的铁路建设成本，费用将低于 5亿美元。而今天，在经历了数十年的延迟后，价格已超过 50 亿美元 billion。

这一差额不仅仅代表了通货膨胀。它反映了数十年来失去的经济增长、停滞的发展，以及那些最需要交通公平的社区所错失的机遇。现在，红线延伸工程终于在推进了。

这个迟到太久的时刻，是得益于那些稳健、经验丰富且与项目服务社区有着深厚联系的领导层。其中一位领导者就是芝加哥交通局（CTA）主席莱斯特·巴克莱（Lester Barclay）。

巴克莱与 CTA 的联系跨越了 40 年之久。他在英格伍德长大，日常生活依赖 。大学期间，他在该机构工作；后来作为一名律师，他代表 处理复杂的法律事务。他的法律头脑在保护乘客、员工和纳税人的利益方面起到了核心作用，并且在应对围绕重大交通项目的复杂政治和监管环境方面发挥了关键作用。

经验至关重要。而巴克莱的经验是无可匹敌的。

他由市长洛里·莱特富特（Lori Lightfoot）任命进入 董事会，并由市长布兰登·约翰逊留任，现在他又被约翰逊任命为新成立的北伊利诺伊交通局（NITA）成员。这种程度的信任足以说明一切。它反映了一位在压力下保持稳健、受到政府各界尊重，并被信任能够引导该地区度过历史性转型的领导者。

在 NITA 的领导下，芝加哥正在进入区域交通治理的新时代。资金已获批准。结构已就绪。该地区已达成一致。此时此刻，连续性最为重要。

南区为了红线延伸工程等待了 50 多年。我们不能承受再次出现那些让该项目停滞数代的领导失败。

总教区需要专家

正如律师兼写信人吉姆·菲格利洛（Jim Figliulo）在 9 月 10 日的信件（《总教区的处理不当》）中所述，我希望看到芝加哥总教区审查未成年人性虐待指控的流程得到改变。该教区关于神职人员性虐待未成年人的政策，成为了美国天主教主教会议《保护儿童和青少年宪章》的基础，总教区官员利亚·赫弗南（Leah Heffernan）在她的信件（9 月 2 日，《总教区的调查》）中提及了该宪章。该宪章要求审查委员会必须包含一名具有“治疗未成年人性虐待专业知识”的成员；也就是说，一名治疗虐待未成年者的人员。但它并没有一个平行且互补的要求，即委员会必须包含一名具有治疗被性虐待未成年人专业知识的成员。

如果能纳入一名了解受害者 / 幸存者创伤及其行为的专业人士，将有助于评估其指控的真实性。

决定权属于患者

我的母亲在 2021 年被诊断出患有肌萎缩侧索硬化症后，使用了缅因州的《尊严死亡法》。她选择在疾病夺走她认为生存至关重要的独立性、控制力和尊严之前结束生命。这并非一个简单的决定，更不是草率做出的。这是极其私人的，且是她自己的决定。

在社论（9 月 11 日，《伊利诺伊州安乐死法与拒绝权》）中令我不安的是一种假设，即要求医生提供信息或转诊就等同于参与协助自杀。我的母亲的医生并没有告诉她缅因州法律赋予了她这个选择，是她的孩子们告诉她的。而且一旦她决定采取这一行动，在执行一项仅在 2 年前颁布的法律时是非常困难的；许多医生本身也不熟悉该法律的要求。

如果患者无法得知这项权利的存在，或者无法找到愿意帮助他们行使该权利的人，那么法律权利就毫无意义。不应强迫任何医生违反良心开具药物。但医生的宗教或道德信仰也不应成为一名具有行为能力且处于绝症末期的患者与合法医疗选项之间的障碍。

转诊并非参与。它是对决定权属于患者这一事实的认可。

—— 马克·勒克莱尔（Marc LeClere），芝加哥

恐惧无法达成共识

近期关于伊利诺伊州《终末期患者生命终结选择法》的三封读者来信，揭示了我国深层社会政治分歧的成因。

芝加哥 Access Living 的医疗政策分析师塞巴斯蒂安·纳尔斯（Sebastian Nalls）在信中（《残障人士面临风险》，9月14日）写道，他的组织在反对该法案方面“立场坚定”。Access Living “深切关注该法律给残障人士带来的风险”。

遗憾的是，他的信中没有任何内容能证实这些担忧，因为他在随后的论述中全部在讨论为了维持残障人士福祉而缺失的措施。我自己也是一名残障人士，且失去了一位患有肌萎缩侧索硬化症的儿子，纳尔斯在这一主题上的观点是合理的，但他反对该法案似乎是出于毫无根据的恐惧。

来自水晶湖的爱德华·戈戈尔（Edward Gogol）在他的信中（《解释法律，而非暗示》，9月15日）表现出色，用事实反驳了这些恐惧。事实是，残障人士不可能通过该法案被过早地结束生命。法律在制定时设有极其严格的限制，使得该行为只能作为个人选择和责任的问题来执行。

来自日内瓦的科林·C·坎贝尔（Colin C. Campbell）在信中（《宗教的干预》，9月15日）探讨了社会政治辩论中经常被引用的论点：即该法律是一种罪孽。在这个自由之邦，他逻辑清晰地提醒我们：“我不能这样做，因为我的宗教禁止它”是宗教自由；而“你不能这样做，因为我的宗教禁止它”则是威权主义。

看看这个国家的各种争论：死亡权、选择权、生存权、结婚权、持枪权、性别权利、移民权利和平等权利。将宗教从争论中剔除，将事实纳入其中。然后，消除为了平息毫无根据的恐惧而控制他人选择的需求。突然之间，在这个独立之国，我们几乎没有什么好争论的了。

在我们的宪法下，很少有人因为赋予他人自由而失去自己的自由。然而，如此多的人对此感到恐惧。

恐惧而非自由，无法达成共识。它扼杀了每一段友谊，在不惜一切代价追求胜利的驱动下诱使谎言取代真相，并选择黑暗而非照亮未来。

恐惧没有建设美国，它也无法维持美国。

对抗青少年非法赛车的方法

对抗街道非法赛车（takeovers）的方法是逮捕、罚款、扣押车辆和实施宵禁。那么，为什么我们的这么多官员反对这些措施？他们可能是在迎合自己的选民基础。他们是在做选民希望他们做的事。

苏珊·米肖（SUSAN MICHOD） 1945-2026

女性主义画家曾是 Artemisia 画廊的创始成员

作者：Bob Goldsborough 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

芝加哥画家苏珊·米肖（Susan Michod）擅长创作大胆、鲜艳且宏大的绘画作品（包括风景画），她是 20 世纪 70 年代兴起的“图案与装饰”（Pattern and Decoration）运动的一员。该运动是对当时绘画中某些被认为具有“女性化”或“非西方”特征（如图案）的必要回应。

“她的雄心告诉她应该留在纽约，因为在那个时代，在‘纽约堡垒’之外的艺术界很难赢得尊重，”亚历克·米肖（Alec Michod）说道。

米肖

米肖在 20 世纪 90 年代继续从事绘画，创作了许多大型画作，其中一些长达 20 英尺。她尝试了不同的形式和风格，并前往墨西哥和危地马拉进行研究。

作为女性艺术家的坚定捍卫者，米肖于 1973 年共同创立了非营利组织 Artemisia 画廊。这是一个芝加哥艺术家合作社，为女性和边缘艺术家提供了一个专门的展示场所。

... 抽象、装饰以及艺术与设计交汇的想法。”

但在结婚之后

“她是不可阻挡的。她对艺术的投入以及她的女性主义倾向给我留下了深刻印象，”芝加哥艺术学院艺术史教授丽莎·温赖特（Lisa Wainwright）表示。“苏珊参与‘图案与装饰’运动具有重要意义。这也是一项女性主义事业，因为装饰性在当时被轻蔑地视为仅仅是女性化的，而我们现在将其理解为一种探讨……的全球风格。”

她的长子亚历克表示，米肖，81, 于 8 月 8 在芝加哥的一家专业护理机构因自然原因去世。

米肖长期居住在林肯公园，在密歇根州和佛罗里达州的博卡格兰德（Boca Grande）也有房产。她在 1992, 曾遭受一次大发作癫痫，随后医生发现她患有一种罕见的脑癌。她康复了，并最终重新学会了行走、说话和绘画。

米肖 1945 年出生于俄亥俄州托莱多，原名苏珊·亚历山大（Susan Alexander）。她在托莱多及其附近的郊区渥太华山（Ottawa Hills）长大，并毕业于渥太华山高中。尽管她的父母不是艺术家

米肖先就读于马萨诸塞州的史密斯学院，随后转学至密歇根大学学习艺术。大学毕业后，米肖搬到了纽约市的西村社区，在那里创作抽象几何绘画，并在艺术界建立联盟和社区。随后，她于 1969 年获得纽约普拉特学院的艺术硕士学位。

——她的母亲是一名教师，父亲是一名汽车工程师，曾参与开发通用汽车的环绕式挡风玻璃——米肖通过父母结识了艺术家，其中包括家庭朋友、著名的玻璃艺术家哈维·利特尔顿（Harvey Littleton）。

但在 1969, 与丈夫查尔斯（Charles）结婚后，米肖搬到了芝加哥，因为丈夫在那里接受了一份工作，随后他们定居在林肯公园。

无论是在纽约还是在芝加哥，米肖都与其他女性艺术家建立了联系，包括乔伊斯·科兹洛夫（Joyce Kozloff）、米里亚姆·沙皮罗（Miriam Schapiro）和艾伦·兰永（Ellen Lanyon）。她在芝加哥美术学院（后成为芝加哥艺术学院）教授绘画和素描，并很快加入了“图案与装饰”运动。

“现代主义艺术及其重量级人物总是轻视装饰艺术，而我的母亲和其他‘图案与装饰’画家真正接纳了这一点，并将其视为带来社会变革、参与当时激进的政治活动和文化意识的机会，”亚历克·米肖说道。“这在某种程度上成为了第二波女性主义的一部分而火了起来。”

米肖毫不避讳地站在“图案与装饰”运动的前沿，创作出鲜艳的大规模绘画作品。她的作品经常在 Jan Cicero 的河北区（River North）画廊展出。

当时的《论坛报》艺术评论家艾伦·G·阿特纳（Alan G. Artner）在1975年写道，米肖创作的绘画“是相互交织的几何形状组成的复杂拼贴，在正负空间之间展开博弈”。“一切都在流动，关系在不断变化。色彩绚丽；表达方式严谨，但狭窄。”

1973年，米肖与包括薇拉·克莱门特（Vera Klement）和玛格丽特·沃顿（Margaret Wharton）在内的20位艺术家共同创立了阿特米西亚画廊（Artemisia Gallery）。该画廊运营了30年，在主要资助者去世后于2003年关闭。

米肖和其他阿特米西亚艺术家参加了1985年的展览“批判性信息：女性利用公共媒体进行政治艺术创作”。该展览制作了18块关于性别歧视、种族主义、女性健康和核能健康等议题的广告海报和广告牌，计划安装在芝加哥交通局（CTA）的巴士和火车平台上。该机构拒绝了其中的10件作品，称其“令人不安且具有冒犯性”。

古代图案和文化，并将其融入自己的作品中。她继续与不同学科和文化的艺术家建立深厚的友谊，并经常用一台旧的手动打字机撰写关于艺术的论文。她在其中一篇论文中写道：“关于我的绘画，我至少知道一个‘事实’：它是玩弄色彩的借口。”

在患上脑瘤后，米肖不得不重新学习如何绘画。随后她继续创作艺术，直到2006年仍展出新作。她的作品曾在多家画廊和博物馆展出，包括芝加哥当代艺术博物馆、布朗克斯博物馆、印第安纳波利斯艺术博物馆和伊利诺伊州中心画廊。

2019年，米肖的作品在洛杉矶当代艺术博物馆的展览“以愉悦之名：1972-1985年美国艺术中的图案与装饰”中展出，再次获得认可。

艺术家洛里·冈恩（Lorri Gunn）是米肖的朋友，也是阿特米西亚画廊的同行艺术家，她称米肖“温暖、甜美，且绝对致力于她的艺术”。

“就像我已故的丈夫（艺术家卡尔·维尔萨姆）一样，苏珊是那种无法停止工作的艺术家，”冈恩说。

艺术家帕拉·汤森（Pala Townsend）表示，米肖的艺术“拥有美丽的图案和抽象的布局”。

“那里总有一种主题，”汤森说。“她的绘画范围很广，且并非千篇一律。她是一位非常勤奋且非常严肃的艺术家。她很好地融入了芝加哥的艺术圈。”

她的儿子表示，米肖热爱作为一名职场母亲抚养孩子，并且欣赏芝加哥由不同社区和文化交织而成的多样性。他还提到，她喜欢将留在小巷中有趣且独特的物品转化为艺术品。

米肖的遗属包括结婚57年的丈夫查尔斯，另外两个儿子迈克（Mike）和里克（Rick），以及三个孙辈。

生命庆祝仪式计划于10月举行。

加拿大贸易战打击小企业

商业

第 1 页 / B 版 / 2026 年 9 月 17 日，星期四 / CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM

成本上升，企业陷入贸易战交火

作者：Mae Anderson 美联社

纽约 —— 据陷入交火的企业主称，美国与加拿大之间的贸易战正使得这两个经济紧密交织国家的个体小企业在运营上面临更多困难且成本更高。

上周，在唐纳德·特朗普总统对价值同等金额的加拿大商品征收进口税后，加拿大对价值约 200 亿美元 billion (CA276 亿美元 billion) 的美国商品实施了对等关税。针对加拿大的行动，特朗普表示美国还将禁止从加拿大进口葡萄酒、威士忌、部分摩托车以及乳制品原料乳清。

到目前为止，这些关税涉及这两个邻国之间约 5.5% 的双边商品贸易。分析人士表示，因此整体经济影响将较为轻微。但依赖跨境销售的小企业主表示，对其产品最高 50% 的税收以及冲突引发的敌意对他们产生了巨大的影响，尤其是当伊朗战争导致的能源成本上升正在侵蚀其资产负债表时。

四家小企业（两家在美国，两家在加拿大）的所有者接受了美联社采访，讲述了贸易战影响其公司的方式。

佛蒙特州奶酪制造商

在位于佛蒙特州格林斯伯勒的手工奶酪制造商 Jasper Hill Farm，联合创始人马特奥·凯勒（Mateo Kehler）表示，特朗普的开局攻势产生了立即影响：来自加拿大批发客户的节日订单被取消，而那里的边境距离此处仅约 40 英里。

奶酪并不在上个月美国新征收关税的产品之列。凯勒怀疑，他在加拿大扩展业务的希望正陷入停滞，因为当地居民对总统及其内阁成员对待这个长期盟友国家的方式感到愤慨。

“市场方面的抵制实际上是对我们影响最大的，”凯勒说。“正是这种言论激发了抵制行为。”

机场之苦

奥黑尔机场、中途岛机场在客户满意度调查中再次低于平均水平

作者：Talia Soglin

芝加哥论坛报

在 JD Power 发布的一项年度客户满意度调查中，芝加哥的机场排名再次低于平均水平。

JD Power 表示，其周三发布的 2026 年北美机场客户满意度报告基于 24,000 多份调查回复。航空旅客被要求根据在机场内旅行的便捷程度、航站楼设施、餐饮和零售供应以及对机场的“信任”程度等指标对机场进行评估。

今年，奥黑尔国际机场在“巨型”机场类别中并列垫底，该类别针对年客流量在 3300 万 或以上的机场。它与新泽西州的纽瓦克自由国际机场共同占据末位。

这比去年有所下降。去年，作为全球最繁忙的机场之一，奥黑尔机场虽然仍低于平均水平，但在其类别的 20 个机场中排名第 16 位。

JD Power 的旅游业务负责人迈克尔·泰勒（Michael Taylor）表示，奥黑尔机场最大的问题是施工。市政府去年在奥黑尔机场启动了一项 88 亿美元 billion 的现代化和航站楼扩建项目，该项目承诺最终将重塑机场并增加登机口。

但泰勒表示，就目前的规模而言，这座全球最繁忙的机场之一“绝对没有达到应有的规模”。根据国际机场理事会（Airports Council International）的数据，奥黑尔机场去年的飞机起降次数在世界所有机场中最高。在客流量方面，它也位居世界前列。

泰勒说，在繁忙时段，奥黑尔机场内部“就像狂欢节一样”。

作为航站楼扩建项目的一部分，奥黑尔机场拥有 19 个登机口的新“D 候机厅”预计将于 2028 年底完工。

市政府表示，第二个新候机厅的施工预计将于今年晚些时候开始，将在 2030 年为机场增加十几个新登机口。现代化项目的核心是由珍妮·冈（Jeanne Gang）设计的全球航站楼（Global Terminal），其规模将几乎是该机场 Terminal 2 的两倍，并计划取代后者。全球航站楼预计于 2033 年完工，整个现代化项目预计于 2034 年全部完成。

“从我看到的渲染图来看，它将使奥黑尔机场看起来完全不同，感觉可能也完全不同，”泰勒说。

值得注意的是，JD Power 表示，在其调查中排名最高的机场最近已经完成或即将完成大型资本改善项目。

芝加哥航空局发言人凯文·巴格内斯（Kevin Bargnes）在给《论坛报》的电子邮件中表示：“JD Power 是衡量乘客体验的几个国家级标准之一，在我们继续努力改善奥黑尔和中途岛机场体验的过程中，我们非常重视这些反馈。”

他指出，奥黑尔机场去年被《全球旅行者》（Global Traveler）的读者评为“北美最佳机场”，而中途岛机场被 Wherever Awards 评为“最佳家庭友好型国内机场”。

巴格内斯表示，市政府“知道还有更多工作要做”，但正在“对两座机场进行历史性的投资，以提供大幅提升的乘客体验”。他指出了奥黑尔机场的大规模现代化项目以及两座机场的其他举措，包括一个于 2023 年完工的 4亿美元 中途岛机场现代化项目。

在奥黑尔机场方面，巴格内斯指出了市政府 13 亿美元 billion 的 5 号航站楼扩建和现代化项目，以及一个正在进行的 3亿美元 3 号航站楼项目，预计将于明年完工。他说，T3 项目旨在提高安全检查、无障碍通行和特许经营空间等目标。

中途岛机场在 JD Power 的调查中同样低于平均水平，在“大型”类别（年客流量在 1000 万 至 3300 万 之间）的 24 个机场中排名第 17 位。

去年，米德威机场在该类别中在 27 个机场中排名第 19 位，较 2024 年的结果有所提高。

“多年来，米德威机场有了很大改善，”泰勒表示。他提到，一个亮点是：乘客在降落后，该机场相对容易离开。而且他说，超过一半的受访者表示他们会向朋友推荐米德威机场。

“我认为他们推荐它是因为另一个选择是奥黑尔机场，”他说。

今年的顶级名次分别由明尼阿波利斯-圣保罗国际机场（超大型类别）和坦帕国际机场（大型类别）占据。

美国人日益担忧人工智能对环境的影响

作者：Linley Sanders 和 Adithi Ramakrishnan 美联社

在最近一次旅行回家的路上，埃里奇·塔皮亚（Eriech Tapia）开车经过了一片深色的工业建筑群，它们沿着一条已经拥挤不堪的弗吉尼亚州北部公路延伸：那是数据中心。

“看到这么多中心在兴建，感觉很有意思，”来自弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的 30 岁共和党人塔皮亚说道，他在高等教育倡导和政策领域工作。他表示，数据中心提供了宝贵的计算能力，有助于美国在与其他国家的竞争中保持竞争力，但他也担心这些中心消耗的电量。

根据美联社-NORC 公共事务研究中心与芝加哥大学能源政策研究所的一项新民调，与塔皮亚一样，美国人在过去一年中对人工智能的环境影响变得更加担忧。

调查数据显示，半数（53%）的美国人“极其”或“非常”担忧人工智能的环境影响。这一比例高于去年的 41%。民主党人是环境担忧增加的主要驱动力，但民调还揭示了人们对数据中心（为人工智能和云计算提供动力）在当地产生影响的更广泛担忧。

“我们正在实时进行一场大规模的实验，而且我认为这就像泼出去的水，无法收回。变革是可怕的，我认为这里反映出了一部分这种情绪，”参与此次调查的芝加哥大学研究所负责人迈克尔·格林斯通（Michael Greenstone）表示。

在民主党人之中

美国境内有数以千计的数据中心，且计划建设更多。其中包括已经存在数十年的小型传统中心，以及为了满足人工智能增加的处理需求而建设的大型超大规模中心。弗吉尼亚州和德克萨斯州目前运行的设施最多，其他主要竞争州包括加利福尼亚州、俄亥俄州和纽约州。

根据皮尤研究中心（Pew Research Center）今年早些时候的一项分析，虽然 87% 的现有数据中心位于城市地区，但大多数新数据中心计划建在农村地区。

“我认为这些决定是为了公司而做出的，而不是为了它们所建地的社区，”来自马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆的 60 岁退休民主党人南希·安图内斯（Nancy Antunes）说道。

联合国大学最近的一份报告预测，随着人工智能被更广泛地采用，数据中心的环境足迹（目前已与世界上某些大国相当）将迅速增长。

民主党人越来越担心人工智能的环境后果。民调发现，三分之二的民主党人表示他们“极其”或“非常”担忧人工智能将如何影响环境，高于 2025. 年的一半。相比之下，半数独立人士和 4 in 10 共和党人高度担忧人工智能的环境影响。

总体而言，美国人对人工智能环境影响的担忧程度高于其他具有显著环境足迹的行业。仅有 3 in 10 美国成年人高度担忧肉类生产或航空旅行的影响。

大多数人支持限制新建数据中心

虽然民主党人对环境影响的担忧程度更高，但人们普遍对数据中心的快速激增持有谨慎态度。

约 6 in 10 美国人支持限制新建数据中心的数量，其中包括大多数民主党人和共和党人。

“AI 数据中心消耗了大量水资源，这抢占了农业、农民以及那些真正需要水资源的地方和人们的需求，”来自俄亥俄州辛辛那提的 21 岁计算机科学专业学生、民主党人盖迪昂·克贝德（Gedeon Kebede）表示。

大多数美国人对数据中心在建设地社区内对电价或水供应的影响感到“极其”或“非常”担忧。

康奈尔大学的能源系统工程师尤风其（Fengqi You）在电子邮件中表示，数据中心使用水来冷却 AI 芯片和计算机的情况在“全国范围内规模适中，但在局部地区可能具有决定性影响”。虽然数据中心并非美国最大的耗水大户，但单个大型园区仍会对较小的市政区域造成压力。

这些中心还需要巨大的电量，尤其是大型中心，这引发了人们对其能源来源的担忧。根据劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的一份报告，到 2030, 数据中心可能占美国电力消耗的 11.8%。

“我们讨论的是在整个城市，甚至在某些情况下，在整个州的规模上建设电力基础设施，仅仅是为了服务于一个数据中心，”密歇根州立大学公共事业研究所所长埃里克·诺德曼（Erik Nordman）说道。

约三分之二的美国成年人支持要求数据中心使用风能或太阳能等清洁能源来满足其电力需求。约 8 in 10 民主党人支持这一观点，共和党人的支持率为 56%。

尽管如此，一些美国人表示，对数据中心的担忧感觉很遥远。68, 岁的玛丽·费舍尔（Mary Fisher）在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的社区里还没有看到任何数据中心出现。

“你知道，这件事还没有到我的面前，让我觉得应该担心，”费舍尔说，她 [...OMITTED...]

零售销售额超出预期，8月反弹1.2%

尽管汽油价格飙升，美国人仍继续消费

作者：Anne D'Innocenzio 美联社

纽约——根据政府最新的快照数据显示，尽管消费者可能在抱怨加油站及其他地方的价格上涨，但他们仍在继续消费，从而助力经济增长。

商务部周三发布的数据显示，在7月份经修正后下降0.5%之后，8月份零售销售额反弹，增长1.2%，好于预期。根据FactSet的数据，经济学家此前预计该月将增长0.7%。

7月份的下降值得关注，因为此前美国消费者几乎没有表现出疲态。今年夏天，美国人在世界杯和亚马逊Prime Day促销期间投入了大量消费。在此之前，由于美国人使用了政府的退税款，4月和5月的零售销售额也表现稳健。

即便剔除加油站的业务，8月份零售销售额仍增长了1.1%，凸显了美国消费者的韧性。政府数据未经过通胀调整。根据世界大企业联合会（Conference Board）的最新读数，尽管消费者信心在7月份再次受挫，但消费支出依然强劲回升。

经济学家认为，上个月零售业的大部分强势反映了非门店销售额的反弹，而该项指标在7月份大幅下降。牛津经济研究院（Oxford Economics）美国首席经济学家迈克尔·皮尔斯（Michael Pearce）表示，这是由亚马逊Prime Day购物活动时间从7月移至6月所导致的“季节性噪音”，且该活动通常与其他主要在线零售商的大规模促销同步。他还表示，汽油价格上涨也支撑了加油站的销售额。

但皮尔斯写道，即便考虑到这些因素，大多数消费类别的增长依然“尚可”，其中由餐饮服务、电子产品以及体育与娱乐等可选消费部门领跑。

海军联邦信用合作社（Navy Federal Credit Union）首席经济学家海瑟·隆（Heather Long）在周三发布的一份报告中写道：“美国消费者仍在打开钱包购买商品。8月的零售销售额在疲软的7月之后出现了大幅反弹。”

所谓的控制组（剔除了餐饮服务、汽车、建筑材料和加油站销售，用于计算经济增长）上月较前一个月强劲增长了1.4%。

尽管中东地区战火重启导致汽油价格飙升，许多美国人仍继续消费。根据美国汽车协会（AAA）的数据，周三常规汽油的平均价格一夜之间上涨至$4.37。这比战争开始前每加仑不足$3.的价格高出约47%。

柴油的涨幅更快，上涨了68%。

劳工部周五报告称，上个月消费者价格较去年同期上涨3.4%，且较7月份上涨0.4%，是前一个月记录的0.1%的四倍。

不过，根据过去几周公布季度财务业绩的零售商来看，美国人在购买商品时变得更加挑剔，但像沃尔玛（Walmart）和梅西百货（Macy's）等部分公司正利用政府退还的部分关税来降低价格。

酥脆与黏稠的体验

全球消费者渴望食物拥有更多层次的口感，挑战企业创新产品

作者：Dee-Ann Durbin 美联社

在食品和饮料行业，口感正迎来一个追求“酥脆”与“黏稠”的时刻。

行业专家表示，对于许多人来说，菜单上的菜品或包装零食在口中的感觉，已经成为了与口味同样巨大的吸引力，尽管消费者并不总是意识到，在他们对更酥脆的外卖、更浓郁的咖啡和更多汁的糖果的渴望中，口感扮演了怎样的角色。

“口触感”（mouthfeel，食品科学中用于描述口腔感觉的术语）的重要性激发了许多新产品的诞生，例如星巴克的 Aerocano（一种空气搅拌的冰浓缩咖啡）、PowerCrunch（一种像威化饼一样的蛋白质棒）以及 Trolli Gummi Pops（一种冷冻但柔软且有嚼劲的糖果）。

总部位于伊利诺伊州的原料供应商 Ingredion 在最近的一份报告中表示：“口感驱动着消费者的行为。它在饮食体验中扮演着关键的情绪角色，塑造着满意度、感知度以及重复购买的兴趣。”

该公司在全球拥有 35 个食品实验室，并表示这一趋势是全球性的。拉丝酸奶在中国是一个快速增长的畅销品，而瑞典糖果制造商 Cloetta 最近推出了 Sprinkled Foamies，这种产品具有酥脆的外壳和棉花糖中心。

“这不再仅仅关乎口味。人们在考虑整体体验，”Dutch Bros Coffee 的首席营销官 Tana Davila 表示。这家美国的得来速饮料连锁店允许顾客通过配料来自定义饮料，例如 Soft Top（一种甜美浓郁的打发泡沫）以及咬开时会爆浆的果汁珍珠。

Ingredion 的口感与健康解决方案执行副总裁 Patrick Kalotis 表示，口感与进食行为如此紧密相连，以至于人们在被问到食物味道如何时，经常会描述食物的感觉。

“你知道，比如‘这杯饮料有气泡’或者‘我喜欢酸奶的奶油质感’，”Kalotis 说。“他们认为自己在谈论味道，当然，口感有助于传播味道，但他们实际上在描述口感。”

食品制造商长期以来一直在研究稠度。

像云朵般柔软的日本麻薯和具有拉丝特性的土耳其冰淇淋可以追溯到几个世纪前。

带有嚼劲的木薯波波珠的珍珠奶茶于 20 世纪 80 年代在台湾被发明。在 19 世纪 90 年代，欧洲的高端餐厅调制出了带有松露油或龙虾汤等风味的烹饪泡沫。

但市场研究公司 Mintel 的食品饮料首席战略师 Jenny Zegler 表示，近年来人们对口感的兴趣呈爆炸式增长。

糖果公司 Ferrara 的消费者洞察高级总监 Shannon Weiner 表示，冠状病毒疫情提升了人们对口感的兴趣，因为 COVID-19 导致许多人暂时失去了嗅觉和味觉。2020 年，这家总部位于芝加哥的公司推出了 Nerds Gummy Clusters，这是一种包裹着酥脆 Nerds 糖果的甜圆软糖。

Weiner 表示，多层次的口感创造了对比，这增强了人们对奢华感和品质的感知，并鼓励他们更加关注自己正在吃的东西。

“我们生活在一个过度刺激的世界，对吧？”Weiner 说。“很多时候，如果消费者在刷手机或进行这些无意识活动时吃零食，口感可以帮助打破这种状态，起到刺激作用并提供一种感官参与。”

燃料价格推动英国通胀率创5个月新高

作者：Pan Pylas 美联社

伦敦 —— 官方周三公布的数据显示，由于伊朗战争的余波持续推高燃料价格，英国的通货膨胀率升至五个月来的最高点。这一增长将迫使英格兰银行在未来几个月再次提高利率。

英国国家统计局表示，加油站价格上涨和机票价格上涨是导致英国8月份消费者价格指数从上月的2.9%升至3.1%的主要原因。此次增长使通胀率进一步偏离了英格兰银行2%的通胀目标。

然而，外界普遍预计，利率制定者在周四结束会议时将把银行的主要利率维持在$3.75\%$，因为九名成员组成的货币政策委员会中的大多数人似乎希望观察价格上涨是否会转化为更高的工资，从而进一步加剧通胀压力。目前，疲软的劳动力市场正使工资要求保持在可控范围内。

“8月份的通胀增长不太可能触发明天的加息，”ICAEW首席经济学家 Suren Thiru 表示。“然而，这可能会强化银行的鹰派基调，并为今年晚些时候提高利率留下空间。”

在2月下旬美国和以色列袭击伊朗之前，英国的利率一直从15年高点5.25%呈下降趋势。伊朗战争导致石油和天然气价格大幅上涨，部分原因是至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡自那时起基本关闭，无法通行。

除了影响个人贷款和抵押贷款成本外，利率预期上升对英国政府来说也是一个日益严重的问题，因为债务偿还支出在政府总支出中所占的比例更高。

首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）坚称，英国经济在“各方面仍表现出韧性”，且下个月的年度预算声明将采取“审慎优先”的方法。

“我们不会在人们的生活水平或整体经济上冒险，”他说道。

欧盟将考虑禁止13岁以下儿童使用社交媒体

作者：Sam McNeil 和 Kelvin Chan 美联社

布鲁塞尔 —— 欧盟最高官员周三提议，禁止该27国联盟中13岁以下的儿童使用社交媒体网站，并对年龄较大的青少年访问这些平台设定限制。

欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩（Ursula von der Leyen）概述的这项计划，旨在加强全球努力，保护使用 Instagram 和 TikTok 等平台的年轻人免受网络伤害。

“我知道许多人认为大科技公司的权力过于强大，无法扭转。我并不认同，”冯德莱恩在法国斯特拉斯堡发表的年度《欧盟状态》演讲中表示。

“我们不必接受成瘾性功能。我们不必接受儿童被吸引到日益极端的内容中。我们不必接受女孩的照片被用于生成AI色情图像。”

冯德莱恩表示，根据她的提议，13至15, 岁的儿童将在监护人的陪同下获得“迷你账户”，并对其功能和访问时长进行限制。对于15至18, 岁的人群，平台需要提供“安全设计”。更多细节预计将于周四公布。

欧盟成员国仍需对该提议进行辩论和投票，这可能需要数年时间，并可能引发与唐纳德·特朗普总统的紧张关系，后者长期以来一直批评欧洲的科技监管。

欧洲议会意大利议员 Brando Benifei 表示，他支持该计划，布鲁塞尔不应回避与美国科技公司的正面交锋。“要实施这一点，你需要以非常直接的方式面对那些对此不满的平台和大科技公司的利益，”他说道。

扎克伯格将 Meta 与呼吁放缓 AI 研发的立场区分开来

Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格表示，确保技术安全应由每家 AI 公司自行负责。此番言论使其与竞争对手公司呼吁协调放缓先进人工智能研发的立场拉开了距离。

扎克伯格在社交媒体上发表的这些评论，是在 Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代（Dario Amodei）提出一项建议之后做出的，该建议迅速得到了包括 OpenAI 的萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）和 SpaceXAI 的埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在内的科技领袖的支持。

研究人员关于该技术对人类潜在威胁的警告，引发了行业领导者之间关于如何在技术脱离人类控制之前对其进行最佳约束的辩论。

OpenAI 考虑以 $1.5 trillion 估值进行新一轮融资

据知情人士透露， 正在考虑新一轮融资，这将使其这家人工智能巨头初创公司的估值在计划首次公开募股（IPO）之前达到约 $1.5 trillion。

如果成功，这将使其最近 7300 亿美元 billion 的私人估值大致翻倍，使这家 ChatGPT 制造商成为全球最具价值的私有公司。

知情人士强调，目前尚未做出任何决定。

据这些人透露，投资者最近向 提出了一项建议，拟以 $1.2 trillion 的估值对该公司进行投资。但 认为其价值应至少达到 $1.5 trillion。 上个月产生的年化收入超过 400 亿美元 billion，大约是去年年底销售额的两倍。——《纽约时报》

日本贸易逆差连续第四个月记录

东京 —— 由于中东冲突导致油价飙升，进口成本大幅上涨，日本上月的贸易逆差总计 70 亿加元 billion。根据财务省周三发布的初步数据，这已是连续第四个月出现赤字。

资源匮乏的日本几乎所有的石油都依赖进口。此前，这些石油主要通过霍尔木兹海峡运输。随着油价飙升，日本 8 月的进口额同比增长 28%，达到 719 亿加元 billion。日本的出口额增长 19.3%，达到 645 亿加元 billion，主要集中在计算机芯片和汽车。

日本对美国的出口增长 $24.9% from the previous year，而从美国的进口增长了 $55.2% 。日本对中东的出口下降 $5.2% ，而从该地区的进口下降 $4.2% 。日本对欧洲的出口微增 $11% ，而进口增长 $20.4% 。—— 美联社

已退休，身份为共和党人。

共和党人认为获益更多

约四分之一的美国成年人认为，在技术进步方面，数据中心“极其”或“非常”有益，约 2 in 10 的人对创造就业机会有同样看法。许多美国成年人认为数据中心“somewhat”有益或不确定，约四分之一的人认为它们对技术进步“不太”或“完全没有”益处，约三分之一的人认为对创造就业没有益处。

来自弗吉尼亚州的塔皮亚（Tapia）表示：“我看到进入该地区的临时建筑工人数量大幅增加，这对美国经济至关重要。”

共和党人比民主党人更容易看到数据中心的益处。但约 3 in 10 的共和党人仍然认为这些中心在改善基础设施和创造就业方面“不太”或“完全没有”益处。计算机科学专业的学生凯贝德（Kebede）表示，他感到使用人工智能的压力。尽管他对这项技术有所担忧，但他仍希望在未来的就业竞争中具有竞争力。

他说：“我认为很多人觉得这很大程度上是一个泡沫。最终，当它破裂时，无论你是否相信 AI 的炒作，对每个人来说都将是非常不利的。”

特朗普在重返白宫后，多次挑衅美国的北方邻国。首先是去年关于希望将加拿大吸收为第 51 个州的言论。在 8 月贸易谈判破裂后，他嘲讽总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney），并签署了一项行政命令，将安大略湖（Lake Ontario）更名为美国湖（Lake America）。

凯勒（Kehler）表示，在与伊朗的战争导致贾斯珀山农场（Jasper Hill Farm）的卡车和机械燃料变得更加昂贵的情况下，从加拿大购买材料和设备的销售损失以及价格上涨令人难以承受。

他说，他的一些供应商和分销商正在增加附加费以覆盖其成本。

凯勒说：“这就像是‘千刀万剐’，因为在能源成本上升和关税之间，我们业务几乎每个方面的投入——从农业端一直到成品——所面临的通胀压力正在不断升级。”

“有时，全球局势的这一方面会对中小企业造成致命打击，”她说。“就在你刚想好如何应对关税上涨时，运输估价又给了你沉重的一击。”

不列颠哥伦比亚省养蜂人

美国从8月开始对加拿大蜂蜜征收的新关税，给像彼得·奥夫拉姆（Peter Awram）这样的养蜂人带来了沉重打击，他是位于不列颠哥伦比亚省罗斯代尔（Rosedale）的家族企业 Worker Bee Honey Co. 的首席执行官。他表示，美国市场约占加拿大蜂蜜出口量的 60%。

卡尼政府对美国产蜂蜜征收的 $50\%$ 对等关税毫无帮助，因为来自印度和中国、用大米糖浆稀释的假蜂蜜大量涌入，给边境两端都带来了价格压力；50 年前开始养蜂的奥夫拉姆说道。

“大多数加拿大目前征收关税的并不是美国蜂蜜，”他说。“而是持有美国文件的其他国家的蜂蜜。”

大多数加拿大养蜂人可能会尝试增加国内销售，这可能会导致蜂蜜充斥市场并进一步压低价格，奥夫拉姆表示。

“在征收关税之前，该行业就处于不稳定状态，”奥夫拉姆说。“如果这项关税长期维持，将导致大量商业养蜂人破产。”

温哥华岛制造商

美国客户约占 Revival Stillworks 业务的一半。莱恩（Lane）表示，战争期间油价上涨推高了运输成本，许多客户已经在评估是否应该继续推进涉及进口设备的项目。

现在，公司的蒸馏器、发酵罐和其他产品在跨境时需缴纳 50% 的税款，联合创始人达西·莱恩（Darcy Lane）说道。莱恩表示，由于设备成本在 \$250,000 到 \200万美元 之间，海关费用非常可观。

Revival Stillworks 在温哥华岛的基地（距离华盛顿州的圣胡安岛不到 20 英里）生产用于蒸馏伏特加、龙舌兰和威士忌等烈酒的设备，并帮助设计手工烈酒的生产空间。

直到上个月，这些设备还可以根据

“我们有价值数百万加元的订单预计在未来四到六个月内执行，结果突然之间这件事又发生了，”他说道，并回忆起去年一名美国客户在特朗普威胁对某些加拿大产品征收关税时取消了一个项目。

他和合伙人正在寻找其他类型的业务。莱恩表示，由于他们雇佣了工程师、焊工和制造工，他们的业务可以为当地的海事工业提供服务。

“希望冷静的头脑能占据上风，一切都能顺利解决，我们可以像往常一样继续经营，”他说。“但如果不行，无论如何我们都必须制定一套应急计划。”

卡桑德拉·索托斯（Cassandra Sotos）与凯勒（Kehler）一样，认为美加贸易战产生了寒蝉效应。

卡桑德拉·索托斯是 AmpRx 的共同所有者兼首席执行官，该公司位于田纳西州纳什维尔，专门为音乐家和录音室制造用于测量和调节从电源插座进入吉他放大器的电压的设备。

索托斯表示，她不确定客户是担心意外的进口费用，还是障碍在于“仅仅是与美国的形象问题”，以及目前加拿大如何看待这个国家。

虽然她公司的大部分销售额在美国国内，但索托斯将全球的音乐家都视为客户。美国的新关税不适用于她的畅销产品（一款价格在 \$400 到 \$1,400 之间的电源适配器），但来自加拿大客户的需求已经

作为一家小企业，“任何被夺走的碎片对我们来说都意义重大，”索托斯说。“加拿大的吉他手和美国一样多。但由于这一切，我目前只能接触到其中极小的一部分。”

她觉得贸易政策正在阻碍 AmpRx 的增长，而此时中东的冲突带来了意外的

官员：沙特寻求导弹援助

在遭受胡塞武装及其他势力攻击后，沙特王国向盟友寻求帮助

作者：Samy Magdy, Suzan Fraser 和 Munir Ahmed 美联社

开罗 —— 两名地区官员周三表示，由于与也门胡塞武装的反抗僵局持续，沙特阿拉伯的导弹拦截弹储备不足，已转向地区及西方盟友寻求援助。

这些官员表示，沙特已请求英国、埃及、法国和巴基斯坦在该地区部署防空支持，以帮助防御胡塞武装及其他伊朗支持团体的导弹和无人机攻击。

一名官员表示，此次寻求援助是因为沙特的主要盟友和武器供应商美国在与伊朗进行为期六个月的战争过程中，自身的拦截弹库存也已减少。

两人均在匿名条件下发表评论。

沙特官员未立即回应置评请求。

沙特阿拉伯与胡塞武装之间的战斗是伊朗战争导致爆发的最新战线。

周三，沙特阿拉伯指责胡塞武装试图用无人机攻击伊斯兰教最神圣的城市；该地区对此表示谴责，但未显示出提供军事支持的迹象。

该王国宣布，先知穆罕默德的出生地麦加是“红线”，并表示已拦截该无人机。

胡塞武装否认攻击距离也门边境约 680 英里的麦加。

由于全球最大的石油出口国正遭受其地区对手支持的叛军攻击，该王国不仅需要军事援助，还需要一个安全的原油出口渠道。但目前这两者都没有明确的路径。

据报道，在伊拉克受伊朗支持的民兵组织发动攻击后，一条关键的沙特管道已被关闭数周。胡塞武装一直将目标对准该王国的基础设施及其在红海的航运，并在曼德海峡夺取了几个岛屿。

油价仍维持在每桶 100 美元以上。

沙特东西管道的关闭，可能导致全球 4% 的石油供应无法进入国际市场，并推高能源价格。

其中一名地区官员表示，沙特阿拉伯处于“非常困难的境地”，因为它不仅要保护军事基地和关键政府设施，还要保护遍布全国的石油设施。

第二名官员表示，沙特阿拉伯还试图集结国际盟友，对胡塞武装发起集体回应。

“但目前的决定是给外交机会，”该官员表示，并补充说阿曼和埃及正在领导也门的降级努力。

两名知情人士（包括一名胡塞武装官员）表示，上周末，阿曼主持了美国与胡塞武装代表之间的会议，以讨论地区紧张局势。他们未提供进一步细节，并在匿名条件下发表评论。

周二，英国首相发言人汤姆·韦尔斯（Tom Wells）确认，英国与沙特阿拉伯拥有“密切的国防伙伴关系”。

但他拒绝透露沙特阿拉伯是否请求了军事援助，或英国军队是否在该国境内。

美国和北约官员此前已承认欧洲严重缺乏导弹拦截弹，这引发了人们对欧洲提供援助能力的质疑。

一名土耳其政府官员表示，土耳其正与伊朗和阿拉伯联合酋长国进行谈判，试图降低紧张局势。

该官员在匿名条件下发表评论，未提供进一步细节。

这些攻击是对沙特阿拉伯、北约成员国土耳其以及核大国巴基斯坦之间新签署的国防协议的首次考验。

但土耳其和巴基斯坦的官员告诉美联社，他们尚未收到沙特针对胡塞武装升级行动而提出的支持请求。

这些官员在要求匿名的条件下发表了上述言论。

在谴责针对麦加的袭击企图之际，巴基斯坦总理谢巴兹·谢里夫表示，他的国家与沙特阿拉伯将“坚定不移地肩并肩”站在一起。

据国家运营的安纳多卢通讯社报道，土耳其外交部长表达了团结，并表示没有任何国家能够“对此漠不关心”。

美国已向沙特阿拉伯出售了价值数十亿美元的武器，并承诺提供其他支持，但美国高层官员已表明不愿卷入这场冲突。

当被问及沙特阿拉伯是否请求干预时，一名美国官员表示，美国军方的中央司令部已设立一个特遣部队，用于“加强与沙特军队的情报共享和规划支持”。

该官员在要求匿名的条件下还表示，美国军方上周在德国举行的一次会议上接待了来自八个国家的高级军事领导人，以讨论“加强中东安全合作的机会”。

该官员未确认出席会议的国家。

胡塞武装在未提供证据的情况下于周三声称，他们在也门马里卜省上空击落了一架由沙特支持的联军操作的 F-15 战斗机。

胡塞武装军事发言人亚希亚·萨雷准将未说明事件发生的时间，美联社无法独立核实这一说法。叛军有时在袭击发生数日后才宣布。

沙特领导的联军及沙特政府的发言人未立即回应置评请求。

众议院第三次投票表决结束美国与伊朗的战争

自中东冲突爆发以来，共和党反对票数升至7票

作者：丽莎·马斯卡罗 (Lisa Mascaro) 美联社

华盛顿 —— 美国众议院第三次就结束伊朗战争进行投票，通过了一项战争权力决议，旨在停止总统唐纳德·特朗普在未经国会批准的情况下继续采取军事行动的能力。

周二晚些时候的记名投票结果为 220-204, 与今年夏天早些时候的尝试类似，有更多共和党人加入了所有民主党人的行列，投票要求结束这场冲突。目前还没有任何一项决议提交到总统办公桌上，因为特朗普几乎肯定会否决该措施。

“还记得唐纳德·特朗普曾说这场战争只持续几周吗？”来自马萨诸塞州的民主党众议员塞斯·莫尔顿 (Seth Moulton) 表示。他曾在伊拉克战争期间担任海军陆战队员，并推动了该决议的通过。

他表示，现在是国会“真正提出尖锐问题的时候了，正如宪法指示我们那样，而不是屈从于另一个好战的政府”。

众议院外交事务委员会主席、来自佛罗里达州的共和党众议员布赖恩·马斯特 (Brian Mast) 质疑民主党人希望从该地区撤走哪些军事资源，他认为伊朗在该地区仍然是一个威胁。

马斯特表示，特朗普反对“永恒战争，而这正是他正在结束的” —— 即来自伊朗数十年的敌对行为。

“他们是对美国持续存在的威胁，”马斯特说。“够了，到此为止。”

这次行动可能是中期选举前众议院最后一次就伊朗战争进行投票，海外冲突在政治竞选中发挥着重要作用。特朗普于 2 月 28 启动的战争一直拖延，双方断断续续地进行致命的导弹袭击，在近七个月的时间里给该地区带来了混乱。

本周末，议员们将回家进行近乎全职的竞选活动。距离决定国会控制权的选举还剩下不到 50 天，民主党正试图从共和党手中夺回权力。

由于冲突干扰了通过至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡的石油资源流动，选民们正面临高物价，尤其是加油站的汽油价格。

国会预算办公室周二表示，截至 8 月 1, 这场战争的成本已超过 380 亿美元 billion，预计每月成本将在 20 亿美元 billion 至 30 亿美元 billion 之间，具体取决于战斗的激烈程度。

预算办公室预计，由于战争原因，进入 2027 年时的通货膨胀率将比预期高出 0.5 个百分点。

特朗普在赢得白宫第二个任期时曾承诺不会让美国卷入外国战争，而他针对伊朗的行动正给控制众议院和参议院的共和党带来压力。根据美联社-NORC 7 月的一项民意调查，大多数美国人认为在伊朗的战争不值得打。

在之前的众议院行动中，有 4 名共和党人投票支持停止伊朗战争，但在周二的战争权力投票中，这一数字上升到 7 人，其中包括来自关键选区爱荷华州的共和党众议员扎卡里·南 (Zachary Nunn) 和玛丽安内特·米勒-米克斯 (Mariannette Miller-Meeks)，以及即将退休的南卡罗来纳州众议员南希·梅斯 (Nancy Mace)。

他们与所有民主党人一起，投票支持这项战争权力决议，其他支持者还包括共和党众议员汤姆·巴雷特 (Tom Barrett，密歇根州)、沃伦·戴维森 (Warren Davidson，俄亥俄州)、布赖恩·菲茨帕特里克 (Brian Fitzpatrick，宾夕法尼亚州) 和托马斯·马西 (Thomas Massie，肯塔基州)。

南此前曾投票反对该决议，并于上个月在爱荷华州与国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯 (Pete Hegseth) 一起进行竞选。这位五角大楼负责人曾赞扬南是一位盟友，不需要特朗普在深夜打最后时刻的电话来劝说他支持总统的议程。

但为了展示处于弱势选区的共和党人面临着多么巨大的压力，身为空军退伍军人的纳恩在社交媒体上发帖称：“随着谈判窗口关闭，持续的作战行动现在需要国会的授权。我不会支持另一场没有期限的战争。”

众议院首先在6月通过了一项战争权力决议，随后在7月又通过了另一项，所有这些决议都旨在停止美国在伊朗的行动。

参议院在第10次尝试中也通过了一项旨在结束冲突的战争权力决议，但共和党参议员在特朗普于一次闭门午餐会上斥责他们后，次日迅速改变了立场。

虽然宪法赋予国会宣战的权力，但同时也赋予总统作为三军统帅采取某些军事行动的权力。《战争权力法》是在越南战争后制定的，旨在对总统的权力设定更具体的时间限制，要求在60或90天后持续的军事行动必须获得国会批准。

华盛顿 —— 周三，肯尼迪中心主楼周围搭建起了围栏。就在前一天，由特朗普派系掌控的董事会投票决定关闭该表演艺术中心的大部分区域以进行维修。一名担任受托人的民主党众议员迅速寻求紧急法院听证会，以阻止她所谓的“非法关闭”。

此次投票是在一名联邦法官阻止该机构将总统唐纳德·特朗普的名字重新挂回大楼之后进行的。

这位共和党总统在社交媒体的一篇帖子中表示，关闭是为了进行安全维修。但他同时表示，国会已拨款 2.57亿美元 用于支付维修费用，但只有在董事会被允许推进将他的名字添加到大楼计划的情况下，维修才会进行。

来自俄亥俄州的民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂（Joyce Beatty）是肯尼迪中心董事会的当然成员，她周三就她所谓的特朗普“非法关闭肯尼迪中心”的行为请求举行紧急法院听证会。比蒂一直领导相关工作以阻止将特朗普的名字添加到大楼中，并在周二的一次虚拟董事会会议上与特朗普发生了冲突。

比蒂的律师在法庭文件中表示，一名代表比蒂的法律团队工作人员周三被拒绝进入大楼。文件中称，该工作人员“被多名安保人员告知，大楼目前不对公众开放”。

文件中指出：“鉴于这种无法解释且非法的关闭行为，被告有可能打算采取立即行动，使公众在可预见的未来实际上无法进入，包括拆除进入大楼的公共通道，从而规避法院的命令。”

美国官员迅速部署医疗人工智能

Limbic 首席执行官罗斯·哈珀（Ross Harper）于 9 月 10 日被拍到，他表示人工智能可以帮助结束“漫长的候诊名单”。JEREMIE SOUTEYRAT / 纽约时报

但部分项目引发对安全性及投资者影响的担忧

作者：克里斯蒂娜·朱厄特（Christina Jewett） 纽约时报

特朗普政府正在加速努力，旨在使人工智能成为美国医疗护理不可或缺的一部分，投入联邦政府的资源和支持，用于部署能够为患者诊断并开具治疗方案的 AI 代理项目。

据参与讨论的人员透露，美国卫生与公众服务部在多个战线开展的这项努力在过去几个月里引发了部分官员的担忧，他们认为变革速度过快，且该技术的安全性和有效性缺乏充分证据。他们还担心硅谷投资者的影响力过大，而这些投资者此前在联邦卫生政策中几乎没有发挥作用。

据接近此事的人员透露，硅谷亿万富翁风险投资家维诺德·科斯拉（Vinod Khosla）在与卫生部高层官员的对话中具有特别的影响力，其儿子拥有一家医疗 AI 公司。

这些官员包括联邦医疗保险（Medicare）和医疗补助（Medicaid）负责人梅赫梅特·奥兹（Mehmet Oz）博士。被提名担任卫生部二把手的克里斯·克隆普（Chris Klomp）在 5 月的一档播客节目中表示，在该机构寻求改善国民健康并降低成本的探索中，将 应用于患者护理是“终极目标”。

十多年来，科斯拉一直预测 将在很大程度上取代医生。他在 7 月的一次 初创企业活动上表示：“医生，人类医生的时代结束了。 只会做得更好。”

在一次采访中，科斯拉大肆宣传他提供资金支持的儿子公司 Curai Health，称该公司可以提供 初级护理服务，让医疗资源匮乏的人群能够快速获得护理。

“CMS 似乎非常兴奋，”科斯拉在提到联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）时说道。

近日，随着一些 实验室的高管呼吁放缓开发速度，关于 危险性的担忧以及监管呼声此起彼伏。在医学领域，医生越来越依赖 来协助处理行政任务，但 在评估和治疗患者方面取代医生角色的前景令一些人感到不安。

美国最大医师组织美国医学会（American Medical Association）首席执行官约翰·怀特（John Whyte）博士表示，旨在独立为患者提供护理的模型“尚未准备好投入实际应用”。

他表示，科斯拉等人用来证明 优于医生的证据——包括最近发表在一家美国医学会刊物上的一篇论文（作者包括科斯拉及其儿子尼尔 [Neal]）——并不令人信服，且在很大程度上基于模拟实验。

“医疗领域的 不应由科技行业驱动，”怀特说，“而应由临床医学界驱动。而目前的情况是，科技在‘摇尾巴指挥狗’（主客颠倒）。”

卫生部发言人格蕾丝·戴维斯·詹明森（Grace Davis Jamison）表示，该部门在部署 时采取的是一种“负责任的、基于证据的方法”，并将在“证据证明其价值时扩大其使用范围”。

作为该努力的一部分，联邦卫生官员正致力于为联邦医疗保险（Medicare）开发一个新的支付类别，该联邦医疗计划覆盖 6000 万 以上的老年美国人，旨在为支持医疗护理或诊断的 软件公司提供报销。联邦医疗保险官员已敦促覆盖约 1.65 亿 美国人的私人保险公司，在某些 项目能够改善护理并降低成本的情况下，为“技术支持的护理”提供报销。

美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）已批准了1,500多种包含人工智能的医疗设备，用于执行特定任务，例如识别肿瘤或血栓。但该机构尚未制定能够应对更新模型的规则，例如聊天机器人或所谓的“代理AI”（agentic AI），这类AI能执行医生才会做的工作，例如开具处方药。

詹米森表示，FDA正在研究应如何修改规则，以跟上那些“具有更高自主运行能力”的AI系统。

FDA仍在讨论应如何监管那些随时间演变并能执行开药等操作的复杂AI模型。这项任务极其艰巨。该机构必须管理大语言模型的风险；此前已有模型被指控向一名男性提供了“危险”的医疗建议，导致该男子延迟治疗危及生命的血栓。

它还必须考虑AI医生是否会像OpenAI的代理程序那样“失控”，后者曾协调一场针对一家名为Hugging Face的公司发起的黑客攻击活动。

卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪已公开承认这些风险，但在4月的一次国会听证会上表示，AI“将彻底改变医学”。

他的儿子之一芬恩（Finn）今年成立了一家风险投资基金，称该基金“构建并投资于具有代际影响的健康公司”，据报道，该基金已在募集资金以投资医疗AI。

去年，芬恩·肯尼迪曾在8VC工作，这是一家由唐纳德·特朗普总统的亿万富翁盟友乔·隆斯代尔（Joe Lonsdale）经营的风险投资公司；年轻的肯尼迪在该公司共同撰写文章，称AI医生“不会免费工作”，暗示创建该技术的公司应当获得报酬。他提出了部署这些技术所需的联邦改革方案，其中包括在FDA任命一名专门负责人工智能的人员。

据一名参与人员透露，政府内部关于医疗AI的讨论一直在继续，包括是否向由科技公司和初创公司运营的AI医生支付报酬，金额可达人类医生提供相同服务所得报酬的60%至80%。

其他项目则根据其是否能证明对患者有益且能为联邦医疗保险（Medicare）节省成本来提供报酬。

其中一个项目来自Limbic公司，该公司向被诊断为抑郁或焦虑的联邦医疗保险受益人提供认知行为疗法。

这家由年长者科斯拉（Khosla）支持的公司被FDA选中参加一项联邦医疗保险AI试点项目。

在该项目中，一个拥有女性声音并名为“Hope”的AI咨询师每周提供一次一小时的咨询，并根据需要进行随访。

由该公司科学家和工程师开展并发表在《自然医学》（Nature Medicine）杂志上的一项研究发现，在不知道自己审查的是由人类还是聊天机器人引导的治疗记录的情况下，临床医生得出结论认为，Limbic AI的表现优于人类和通用聊天机器人。

Limbic首席执行官罗斯·哈珀（Ross Harper）表示，一名临床医生将监督数千名AI治疗师。

“将这项技术交给那些无法获得医疗服务的人，这是一个道德问题，”拥有计算神经科学博士学位的哈珀说道。

他补充道：“我们必须提醒自己：我们将它与什么进行比较？我们将其与‘完全没有治疗’或‘漫长的候诊名单’进行比较。”

洛杉矶新闻直升机在报道巴士碰撞事故时坠毁，酿成双重悲剧

作者：Ashley Duong 和 Hallie Golden 美联社

洛杉矶 —— 当局表示，一名驾驶员因将 SUV 撞向洛杉矶的一辆市巴士，导致至少两人死亡、六人受伤，随后该事件引发了第二场致命悲剧：周二晚上，一架报道此次碰撞事故的电视新闻直升机起火坠毁。该驾驶员已被以谋杀罪逮捕。

警方表示，来自西米谷（Simi Valley）的 36 岁女子贝莉·琳·里奥斯（Bailee Lynn Rios）于周二晚上被捕，目前被关押在洛杉矶的一所监狱中，保释金定为 400万美元。此案正被移交给地区检察官办公室，由其决定是在法院提起指控还是寻求其他指控。目前尚未获得能代表其发言的律师信息。

这架由 NBC 和 Telemundo 使用的直升机在坠毁前约两小时，警方称里奥斯驾驶她的 2004 年福特远征（Ford Expedition）在一条繁忙的大道上逆行，闯红灯并撞击了一辆车辆，随后撞上了巴士。警方表示，一名乘客被完全甩出巴士，另一名乘客被部分甩出。

洛杉矶 NBC4 报道称，直升机上的两人 —— 记者埃莉安娜·莫雷诺（Eliana Moreno）和飞行员乔治·马尔西尼（George Marciniw）在周二坠毁于市中心以北圣费尔南多谷的查茨沃思（Chatsworth）社区时死亡。两人均为 Angel City Air 的员工，该公司为该电视台运营直升机。

洛杉矶县法医办公室表示，一名在地面的人员死亡，身份确认为 29 岁的埃迪·古铁雷斯·梅希亚（Edy Gutierrez Mejia），死亡地点位于一个停车场。

目前尚无关于直升机坠毁原因的即时细节，但在机组人员坠毁前播出的最后几秒视频中，可以听到直升机驾驶舱内响起警报，此时飞机正在失去高度。

就在哔哔声开始后，一个女人的声音说“噢，不（uh oh）”。直升机迅速远离巴士事故现场并开始失去高度。在视频停止、直升机接近地面之前，该女子说：“你不能拉起来吗？”

这架欧洲直升机公司 AS350 型直升机坠毁在一个大型存储设施附近。直升机起火后，至少四辆汽车和两个存储集装箱被烧毁。NBC4 记者罗伯特·科瓦奇克（Robert Kovacik）当时在巴士事故现场，他看到了黑烟并匆忙赶往直升机坠毁现场。

“我想我们很多人仍在试图消化所发生的一切，这次损失太惨痛了，”NBC4 记者劳伦·科罗纳多（Lauren Coronado）周三凌晨在坠毁现场附近对观众说道。

航空安全专家杰夫·古泽蒂（Jeff Guzzetti）表示，直升机最后一段视频中响起的警报听起来像是低转速（RPM）警告喇叭，这标志着主旋翼的旋转速度已不足以维持直升机在空中飞行。

“这具有潜在发动机动力丧失以及主旋翼速度危险下降的所有特征，”曾为美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）和美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）调查事故的古泽蒂说道。

古泽蒂表示，飞行员似乎在尝试进行一项紧急操纵，利用风力强迫旋翼再次旋转，就像微风带动风车一样。这样做可以产生少许升力，有助于缓冲冲击，但古泽蒂说，由于直升机此前一直处于低空悬停状态，因此几乎没有机会这样做。

俄罗斯无人机袭击小型巴士，乌克兰前线附近5人死亡

乌克兰基辅 —— 周三凌晨，俄罗斯的一架无人机在乌克兰南部袭击了一辆客车，造成5人死亡，至少7人受伤。这是俄罗斯针对平民交通工具发起的一系列袭击中的最新一次。

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基称此次袭击是一场毫无军事目的的暴行。

袭击发生在乌克兰第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克州的尼科波尔区，靠近战争的南部前线。

地区军事行政部门负责人奥列克桑德尔·汉扎表示，5名死者全部在现场死亡，而7名伤者正在接受医疗救治。

泽连斯基将该车辆描述为一辆小型巴士，并在 X 平台的一篇帖子中表示，此次袭击“没有军事逻辑”，且“只是又一起暴行”。他表示，此次袭击与俄罗斯持续且“不减之势”地针对物流和关键基础设施的攻击有关。

泽连斯基还表示，周三在米科拉伊夫州的一列客运火车遭到袭击，导致一个火车站和一台柴油机车受损。袭击发生前，车上的近 170 名乘客已被疏散。泽连斯基称，西北部城市科韦尔的一台电力机车也遭到了袭击。

乌克兰外交部长安德里·西比哈周二在 X 上写道，自 2022年2月24日 侵攻开始以来，俄罗斯对乌克兰铁路网络的袭击已导致 500 多台机车受损或被毁，其中超过一半的袭击发生在今年。

西比哈将此类袭击描述为“系统性的”，旨在破坏整个乌克兰的物流。他表示，乌克兰迫切需要更换受损的机车，并需要融资援助。

在周三的另一篇帖子中，西比哈表示：“这不是附带损害。这是对人们的系统性猎杀，以及企图（瘫痪）平民生活的尝试。”

在周二接受 CBS 新闻采访时，泽连斯基反驳了总统唐纳德·特朗普此前的一项主张，即乌克兰和俄罗斯已同意相互停止攻击对方的能源基础设施。泽连斯基表示，如果俄罗斯停止袭击乌克兰的能源设施，乌克兰准备签署此类协议。

特朗普在周一的一篇社交媒体帖子中称，双方已达成此类停战协议，但并未提供关于该所谓协议的细节。此前促成即使是部分停火的努力多次在数小时内破裂，双方均指责对方违约。

在 CBS 的采访中，泽连斯基表示，在最近与特朗普的代表史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）和贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）在基辅会面期间，讨论了达成能源停战的可能性，但他告诉他们：“如果俄罗斯准备好进行能源停战，这意味着将完全不再攻击能源设施。”

俄罗斯国防部周三表示，一名俄罗斯军舰船长在周一向一架丹麦军用直升机发射了两枚信号弹，引发丹麦愤怒，该船长因其“称职且坚决的行动”被授予奖章。

该部门在声明中表示，“机敏号”（Soobrazitelny）护卫舰当时正在波罗的海的中立水域执行任务，其船员发现了接近的直升机，而该直升机未能回应通过国际通信频道发出的呼叫。

该部门表示：“为了防止丹麦直升机的挑衅，护卫舰指挥官决定发射两枚红色信号弹，随后直升机离开了俄罗斯军舰所在的区域。”

俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫周三表示，莫斯科对欧洲没有侵略意图，但如果欧洲大陆的国家对俄罗斯发动攻击，“那将是一场完全不同类型的战争，而且会是非常短暂的战争。”

与此同时，苏梅地区军事行政当局负责人奥列格·赫里戈罗夫表示，在北部城市苏梅，俄罗斯的一次制导航空炸弹袭击造成六人受伤，其中包括一名14岁女孩。袭击导致两栋房屋被毁，另有10栋房屋受损。

海牙法院判处科索沃前领导人 25 年监禁，罪名是战争罪

来自新闻服务机构

荷兰海牙 —— 科索沃前总统哈希姆·塔奇（Hashim Thaci）周三被判处 25 年监禁，此前他被裁定在 1998-99 年脱离塞尔维亚独立战争期间犯有战争罪。

塔奇在近六年前辞职，以便在海牙接受由欧盟支持的科索沃专家室（Kosovo Specialist Chambers）的指控。他被裁定四项战争罪名成立，包括谋杀、酷刑、残酷对待和任意拘禁。

他本人以及要求更严厉判决的检察官均可提出上诉。

这一判决引发了塔奇支持者的愤怒，对于这个曾受到西方拥护、受邀参加 1999 年在法国举行的和平谈判，并被视为能引导科索沃走向独立的领导人来说，这是一个沉重的打击。

主审法官查尔斯·史密斯（Charles Smith）表示，塔奇参与并鼓励了犯罪行为，包括提拔参与犯罪的人员，并且“表现出一种冷酷的能力，能够清除和消除”对他及其他指挥官领导地位构成阻碍的政治障碍。

科索沃外交部长格劳克·孔尤夫查（Glauk Konjufca）谴责该裁决是“对科索沃、对我们的人民以及对我们解放战争的一次可怕的审判”。

数百名支持者在海牙法院附近的一个公园等待，其中一些人与荷兰防暴警察发生了短暂冲突。警方在 X 平台上表示，他们拘留了两名人员。

在科索沃首都普里什蒂纳，数千人通过大屏幕观看实时听证会，并对判决感到震惊。一些人高喊“UCK”，这是塔奇在进入政坛前曾领导的科索沃解放军（KLA）的阿尔巴尼亚语缩写。

塔奇与另外三名曾在 1998-99 年战争中与塞尔维亚军队作战的前 KLA 领导人一同受审，这些人被科索沃广泛视为民族英雄。他们对所有指控均表示不认罪。

这四人在六项反人类罪指控中被判无罪，但被裁定任意拘禁 385 人、残酷对待 49 人、对 303 名被拘留者实施酷刑以及谋杀 96 人罪名成立。

塔奇和其他被告卡德里·韦塞利（Kadri Veseli）、雷杰普·塞利米（Rexhep Selimi）和雅库普·克拉斯尼基（Jakup Krasniqi）均坚称自己无辜。韦塞利被判处 18 年监禁，塞利米被判处 13 年监禁，克拉斯尼基被判处 25 年监禁。

医政总监提名人：唐纳德·特朗普总统提名的第三任医政总监候选人尼科尔·萨菲尔（Nicole Saphier）博士周三在参议院确认听证会上就其对儿童疫苗的立场接受了质询。在寻求进入一个正致力于对疫苗指南进行全面改革的政府任职之际，她表达了对免疫接种的支持。

萨菲尔是一名放射科医生，曾是福克斯新闻频道（Fox News Channel）的撰稿人。在听证会上，共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）就她对儿童疫苗安全性的看法进行了严厉质询，要求她明确表示是否认为疫苗与自闭症之间存在联系 —— 广泛的科学共识已得出结论认为两者不存在联系，但特朗普政府多次推动重新审视这一问题。

“我不认为儿童疫苗会导致自闭症，”萨菲尔说。在回答卡西迪关于父母是否应该给孩子接种该疫苗的问题时，她还表示“MMR 疫苗是我们对抗麻疹的最有力工具”。MMR 代表麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹疫苗，总统最近呼吁拉开这些疫苗的接种间隔。

她建议将支持疫苗作为预防感染的关键工具，并表示她赞赏政府试图解决“疫苗犹豫人群”的疑问和担忧，但卡西迪反驳称这只会造成更多混乱。

萨菲尔被提名担任的职位虽然政策制定权力有限，但作为美国在公共卫生问题上面向国民的最高沟通者，该职位具有极强的影响力。

卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪和特朗普都曾暗示，包括MMR在内的儿童疫苗可能在导致自闭症方面发挥了作用。

数十年的研究证据和疫苗的实际使用已证明，疫苗与自闭症之间没有联系。

欧盟与加拿大的谈判：欧盟已邀请加拿大致力于成为其首个“准会员”，这一头衔旨在强调该国与这个由27个国家组成的集团之间日益紧密的关系，因为双方目前都面临着与美国关系恶化的局面。

总统唐纳德·特朗普与加拿大发动了贸易战，对其经济构成了挑战。美国削减了对北约和乌克兰的支持，导致欧盟不得不仓促加强自身的防御。

随着第二次世界大战后建立的联盟发生转移，这种真空状态使得该集团和该国都在寻找新的合作伙伴。

欧盟执行机构主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩周三在法国斯特拉斯堡的一次年度演讲中表示：“我们必须紧急重新构想我们的伙伴关系。”

加拿大和欧盟将于10月底举行峰会，预计届时将提出更具体的想法。

冻结州政府拨款：根据一家亲民主非营利组织以及一组研究人员和科学家周三发布的一项追踪工具显示，自总统开启第二个任期以来，特朗普政府已削减或冻结了高达1770 亿美元 billion的联邦拨款。

州联合民主中心（States United Democracy Center）和拨款见证组织（Grant Witness）发现，这些削减影响了所有50个州以及哥伦比亚特区，其中医疗、营养、环境和灾难救援所占的削减份额最大。

在被取消、冻结或延迟的拨款中，包括与密歇根州孕产妇健康、密西西比州教育研究以及爱荷华州少数族裔农民援助相关的项目。该追踪工具被命名为“丢失资金”（Lost Funds）。

苏丹矿井坍塌：据当地官员和活动人士称，苏丹偏远地区一座非正规金矿坍塌导致死亡人数上升至82, 根据当地官员和活动人士称，苏丹偏远地区一座非正规金矿坍塌导致死亡人数上升至82, 周三，救援人员在设备有限的情况下艰难地搜寻失踪者。

幸存者表示，坍塌发生在西科尔多凡省努胡德镇的al-Zara金矿，该镇由准军事组织快速支援部队（RSF）控制。

该组织自2023.4月以来一直与苏丹军队作战。根据监测组织武装冲突地点与事件数据库的数据，这场冲突已导致至少59,000人死亡。

百岁老人创纪录：最新政府数据显示，日本100岁或以上的人数今年突破了记录的100,000，凸显了该国人口迅速老龄化和减少的危机。

周二发布的厚生劳动省统计数据显示，日本目前有107,677名百岁老人，比前一年增加了7,914人，首次突破100,000大关。其中近88%为女性。

众议院就爱泼斯坦调查将布莱克列为藐视国会

作者：Lisa Mascaro 美联社

华盛顿 —— 众议院周三通过一项决议，将亿万富翁莱昂·布莱克（Leon Black）列为藐视国会。由于布莱克在众议院监督委员会针对名声扫地的金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的调查中无视传票，该事项现已移交给美国司法部（DOJ）。

此次行动迅速且无需正式投票，现在由司法部决定是否寻求刑事起诉。布莱克一直拒绝响应传票中要求其出庭以及提交任何涉及爱泼斯坦调查的潜在保密协议（NDA）的要求。

来自监督委员会的共和党人和民主党人共同推动了该决议。

“没有人能凌驾于法律之上，”监督委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党众议员詹姆斯·科默（James Comer）在的一份声明中表示。“在调查联邦政府如何处理杰弗里·爱泼斯坦和吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦尔（Ghislaine Maxwell）刑事案件的过程中，我们将继续为美国人民寻求透明度，为幸存者寻求正义。”

该委员会的首席民主党人、加利福尼亚州众议员罗伯特·加西亚（Robert Garcia）称此次投票是“迈向正义和问责的重要一步”。

布莱克的律师谴责监督委员会对这位私募股权公司高管的追究是对国会权力的滥用。他们表示，他“对爱泼斯坦任何令人发指的行为并不知情”。

“委员会一直坚持寻找并不存在的信息，”律师苏珊·埃斯特里奇（Susan Estrich）和亚伦·卡特勒（Aaron Cutler）在声明中说道。

他们称此次行动是“政治驱动的”，并已起诉该委员会，同时要求国会行为办公室对科默的手段展开调查。

他们表示：“这是一个无视事实以及关于布莱克先生真相的令人愤慨的行为。”

布莱克是包括前总统比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）和比尔·盖茨（Bill Gates）在内的几位被要求在监督委员会长期开展的爱泼斯坦调查中出庭的知名人士中的最新一位。爱泼斯坦涉嫌性虐待的幸存者讲述了个人经历，描述了她们在爱泼斯坦及其同事麦克斯韦经营的贩卖企业中作为年轻女性的遭遇。 爱泼斯坦在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）就任总统之前也是其好友。

今年6月，布莱克确实在委员会参加了一次自愿面试。议员们表示，他拒绝回答关于保密协议的问题。

委员会发出了两份传票，要求强制布莱克提交保密协议并于7月16日出庭作证。委员会表示，已满足布莱克将作证日期推迟至9月3日的请求，但他拒绝出庭。

周二，监督委员会一致投票通过了藐视国会的建议，并将其提交至众议院全体会议。

布莱克共同创立了私募股权公司阿波罗全球管理公司（Apollo Global Management），并在2021年因与爱泼斯坦关系的负面影响而辞职。议员们指称，布莱克在与爱泼斯坦长达数年的关系中向其支付了1.8亿美元。

一项由阿波罗公司委托于2021年进行的审查发现，在爱泼斯坦于2008年承认招嫖未成年人后，布莱克向其支付了$15800 万，用于“真实的税务、遗产规划及其他相关服务”。

IS成员因参与'21年阿富汗机场袭击被判入狱

弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚 —— 一名伊斯兰国（IS）组织成员周三被判处 20 年监禁，原因是其协助了该恐怖组织。五年前，在美军从阿富汗混乱撤军期间，该组织承认发动了一次自杀式爆炸袭击，导致 13 名美国军人和约 160 名阿富汗人于喀布尔机场丧生。

弗吉尼亚州的一个联邦陪审团于 4 月判定穆罕默德·沙里夫拉向名为“伊斯兰国-呼罗珊省”（ISIS-K）的 IS 分支组织提供物质支持罪名成立。但陪审员们无法就他是否对 2021 年 8 月 26 日的机场爆炸案承担部分责任达成一致。

当时，美军正在机场执行撤离行动，一名自杀式袭击者在被称为“阿比门”（Abbey Gate）的入口附近引爆了简易爆炸装置。检察官表示，沙里夫拉在袭击中的作用是为前往哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场侦察路线。

28 岁的沙里夫拉在一项国际恐怖主义案件的一项罪名被定罪后被判处最高刑期。唐纳德·特朗普总统去年在向国会联席会议发表的演讲中曾赞扬此案。

沙里夫拉在审判期间没有出庭作证，并在美国地方法院法官安东尼·特伦加（Anthony Trenga）宣布判决前拒绝向法庭发言。法官表示，被告是一名“坚定的恐怖分子”，对他所造成的“无法想象”的悲痛和苦难没有表现出任何悔意。

特伦加听取了多位美国军人父母的受害者影响陈述。在距离沙里夫拉就座处仅几英尺的讲台上，他们轮流向子女的牺牲致敬，并描述这次袭击如何摧毁了他们的家庭。

来自密苏里州的马克·施密茨（Mark Schmitz）在讲述其 20 岁的儿子——海军陆战队下士贾里德·施密茨（Jared Schmitz）的生平与死亡时，要求沙里夫拉转身看着他。

“他们可能夺走了他的生命，但永远无法夺走他的遗产，”施密茨说。“炸弹杀死了我的儿子，但没有杀死他所代表的信念。”

保拉·克瑙斯-塞尔夫（Paula Knauss-Selph）的儿子——陆军参谋中士瑞安·克瑙斯（Ryan Knauss）在阿比门爆炸中丧生，她表示这次袭击让家庭“永远改变”了。

“任何正义都不足以弥补我破碎的心，”她说。

沙里夫拉请求被判处 17 年监禁，而检察官寻求 20 年监禁。他的律师表示，他从未担任过 ISIS-K 的领导职务，且未被判定犯有任何与机场自杀式爆炸相关的行为。

辩护律师写道：“他被带到这里是因为政府认为他参与了阿比门袭击，而这一理论在审判中未能得到证明。”

检察官在量刑备忘录中表示，“从他青少年时期向 ISIS-K 宣誓效忠起，沙里夫拉的杀戮就由仇恨驱动。是对美国人的仇恨。”

陪审员判定沙里夫拉向 ISIS-K 提供物质支持罪名成立。但对于机场的任何死亡是否“源于”该阴谋，陪审团陷入僵局。如果陪审团一致认定该问题，沙里夫拉可能面临终身监禁。

据检察官称，沙里夫拉曾告诉一名记者，由于美国在 2001 年 9 月 11 日袭击后入侵了他的国家，他希望“抓捕并杀死来自美国的十字军”。检察官还表示，沙里夫拉参与了数十起其他袭击，包括 2024 年 3 月一次导致约 140 人死亡的莫斯科音乐厅袭击。

辩护律师辩称，除了沙里夫拉在接受联邦调查局（FBI）数小时审问时的自述外，检察官未能提供任何将其与喀布尔爆炸案联系起来的证据。

他的律师团队表示，沙里夫拉（Sharifullah）告诉联邦调查局（FBI）特工的内容是他认为对方想听到的，这可能是因为在被移交给美国之前，他担心在巴基斯坦羁押期间遭受酷刑。

美国中央司令部的一项审查发现，阿比门（Abbey Gate）爆炸案的袭击者是阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼·阿尔-洛加里（Abdul Rahman al-Logari），一名曾被塔利班从阿富汗监狱释放的伊斯兰国（IS）成员。根据一份联邦调查局（FBI）的宣誓书，沙里夫拉认出该涉嫌袭击者是他入狱期间认识的一名特工。

灵感的多元融合

在客厅里，这对夫妇将现有的地板漂白，并将墙壁刷成亮白色，以营造出干净、清新的外观。

这座由建筑师埃德温·基布尔（Edwin Keeble）设计的房子中，有一间卧室采用了较深色调的装饰，显得端庄大气。

威尔·梅耶（Will Meyer）和克斯汀·梅耶（Kerstin Meyer）翻新了这座位于田纳西州纳什维尔的 1937 年石屋，屋内摆放着由她继父创作的艺术品以及来自瑞典 Svenskt Tenn 店的凳子等物件。

作者：Tim McKeough 摘自《纽约时报》

在纽约忙碌地度日时，威尔和克斯汀·梅耶偶尔会幻想，如果生活在一个空间更宽敞、节奏没那么疯狂的城市会是什么样子。这些幻想通常与田纳西州的纳什维尔有关，因为威尔·梅耶在那里出生长大，且在当地仍有家人。

“孩子们到了那个年纪，如果我们想让他们拥有那种体验，就必须现在行动，”57 岁的梅耶说道，并补充说夫妇俩的两个孩子现在分别是 17 岁和 21 岁。但梅耶是 Meyer Davis 的创始合伙人，这是一家总部位于纽约的建筑与室内设计公司，为四季酒店（Four Seasons）等品牌、Bar Primi Penn District 等餐厅以及私人住宅设计方案，同时也设计家具和灯具。因此，搬离这座城市似乎一直是不可能的。

但在 2019 年，梅耶的姐姐打来电话，告知了一个对他们的考量产生重大影响的消息：一座由建筑师埃德温·基布尔于 1937 年设计的纳什维尔精美石屋已挂牌出售。梅耶夫妇长期以来一直仰慕这座房子，当他们看到它时，无法拒绝。他们以 $2.3500 万 的价格买下了这处房产。

“是这座房子让我们决定搬到纳什维尔，”55 岁的克斯汀·梅耶说道，她经营着一家名为 Maya Sund 的墨西哥纺织公司。

“我不知道搬到这里会很容易，还是会直接毁掉我们的公司，”威尔·梅耶说。但当他回顾自己的日程表时，他意识到自己无论如何每天大约有一半的工作时间都在路上。随着 Meyer Davis 的项目清单不断增加，该公司还在其他城市开设了办事处（目前在美国和欧洲设有五个分 office），而纳什维尔有飞往其中大多数城市的直飞航班。

这对夫妇表示，他们位于纳什维尔的新家（被收录在 Meyer Davis 的新书《家的语言》（The Language of Home）中）与他们之前在布鲁克林威廉斯堡社区的联排别墅截然相反。他们不再住在与邻居相连、被沥青和混凝土包围的垂直住宅中，而是在纳什维尔拥有一座 4,950 平方英尺的房子，它在山顶上长而低地铺展开来，周围环绕着由 Page Landscape 设计的花园。

用黑白艺术品彰显格调

作者：凯西·霍布斯 (Cathy Hobbs) 论坛报新闻服务 (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

在艺术品的选择上，很少有像黑白配色那样能给人一种永恒的感觉。

无论是极具戏剧性的摄影作品、抽象画布，还是简单的线条画，黑白艺术都能在与几乎任何色调完美融合的同时，帮助营造出一个强有力的视觉焦点。

如果你想在自己的家中通过设计彰显格调，这里有一些顶级的建议。

大胆选择大尺寸：一件超大尺寸的黑白艺术品可以瞬间稳住整个房间的基调，营造出类似画廊的氛围。大尺寸作品往往显得更有意图且自信，因此不要害怕选择大尺寸。

黑白摄影：黑白摄影，尤其是拍摄出人意料的主题时，可以增加个性并带来一丝前卫感。一张极具戏剧性的图像就能为整个空间奠定基调。

成对布置：将两幅协调的画布并排悬挂，可以产生类似壁画的冲击力，同时安装便捷。成对的艺术品还可以从视觉上拓宽沙发或玄关柜后方的墙面。

拥抱抽象：抽象的黑白作品可以在不与房间其他部分产生冲突的情况下彰显格调。在床头或壁炉上方布置此类作品，可以在保持氛围宁静的同时，增加灵动感和趣味性。

保持简约：黑白线条画可以作为一种低调的装饰，但依然具有艺术感。这类作品在色调中性的房间里效果尤为出色，因为那里只需要一点微妙的图形感。

父母的行动不便阻碍了女儿心仪的旅行计划

R. 埃里克·托马斯 (R. Eric Thomas) 的“询问埃里克”专栏

亲爱的埃里克：多年来，我和丈夫与我的父母一起进行了许多美妙的旅行。我们总是邀请他们参加我们与孩子们的家庭度假，而且总体来说，大家都过得很愉快。他们两位现在都 80 多岁了。

我很感激他们仍然是我们生活中的重要组成部分，并且都能出行，但在最近几次旅行中，我们注意到他们的行为和行动能力发生了显著变化。

他们过度关注金钱（尽管他们家境富裕），并且在有人建议乘坐 Uber / Lyft 或公共交通工具时，坚持认为自己可以步行，这让每个人都感到不舒服。

我能想象无法做习惯做的事情会有多么令人沮丧，所以我认为解决方案或许是规划一些“父母友好型”的旅行，考虑到他们较慢的步调。（他们并不知道这些旅行与我们平时的旅行有什么不同。）

但他们仍然在评论说要参加我们的所有活动。我和丈夫热爱在城市中漫步，在旅行中通常每天走 10 到 12 英里，所以这对我的父母来说绝对不再是一个选项了。

我已经准备好只和丈夫以及我们成年后的孩子们一起旅行，但我很害怕即将到来的那些令人不快地对话。

关于如何让这件事对我以及他们来说都更容易一些，您有什么建议吗？

—— 努力想做一个好女儿

亲爱的女儿：想要创建“父母友好型”旅行的冲动是善良的。虽然你可能不想让他们知道你正试图围绕他们能力的下降来规划行程，这可以理解，但坦诚地讨论这件事并邀请他们参与规划本身，可能是很有帮助的下一步。

在规划下一次旅行时，你可能想和父母谈谈你希望有一天或两天进行 10 到 12 英里的步行，并建议他们（以及可能的其他家庭成员）为那些日子制定一个让他们开心且符合他们现状的计划。

这可能意味着他们会在一天中的一部分时间加入你们，然后留在博物馆或公园里。或者意味着他们做自己的事情，然后与你们共进晚餐。

希望是让每个人都能拥有自己想要的假期。部分成员在部分时间分开行动是完全没问题的。而且如果每个人都达成共识，这样做会更容易。

这样一来，你讨论的就不是限制，而是在讨论可能性，并一起畅想。

亲爱的埃里克：我有一个关于社交礼仪的问题，关于如何处理我丈夫所在的小公司的工作聚会或节日派对。

我们在一起 20 年了，他的工作场所非常清楚我对甲壳类动物过敏（这已经变得危及生命）。

这在第一次我们一起外出时成了常识，当时是因为厨房里一个简单的交叉污染错误导致的。谢天谢地，那次反应较轻（嘴唇 / 舌头肿胀），但对我来说仍然相当可怕且尴尬。

多年来，公司的老板及其妻子（她也在那里工作）一直确保菜单上没有甲壳类动物。然而，在过去的三年里，这种情况发生了变化，我对这个新情况感到非常不安。

不幸的是，我丈夫是管理层，他的老板不喜欢人们不参加他的派对（他曾被发现会有醉酒后的咆哮、态度恶劣等），我们两个都不想应对这种情况。

然而，我们不喝酒，而且我们两个都不能吃任何东西，所以我坐在那里感到很尴尬，尤其是当我被催促吃喝的时候。

我不想没礼貌，但我绝不会为了让他或任何其他人开心而让自己陷入过敏性休克。请在下次派对之前帮帮我。

不想参加派对的人

亲爱的 Party：房东及其妻子突然不再关注你的过敏情况，这确实有点奇怪。这其中可能有多种原因，因此，你直接询问他们可能会有所帮助。或者，也可以由你的丈夫来提及此事，因为他才是与他们经常互动的人。

这是一个简单的请求，而且作为主人，他们肯定能理解确保每个人都能在无需担心医疗紧急情况的情况下享受派对的重要性。

另外，也有可能是其他人接管了派对的策划工作。如果你与房东交谈，这件事很可能会被提及，届时你可以向新的派对策划人表达你的顾虑。

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

电影魔力在华盛顿小镇萦绕

Toby's Tavern 在电影《实用魔法》中充当了 Catch & Fry 店的外部场景。MOIRA MACDONALD / 西雅图时报

游客在岛屿社区随处可见 98 电影的痕迹

作者：Moira Macdonald 西雅图时报

华盛顿州惠德比岛上迷人的库普维尔小镇有一种令人愉悦的“萦绕感”，尤其是在秋天。不过，萦绕这里的并非幽灵，而是一部电影。

随着《实用魔法 2》在电影院上映，人们不禁想起大约 28 年前，一个好莱坞剧组曾降临在库普维尔安静的街道上，拍摄原版《实用魔法》。这部融合了剧情、喜剧、浪漫与奇幻色彩的电影由桑德拉·布洛克和妮可·基德曼主演，她们饰演的萨莉和吉莉安·欧文斯是一对美丽的姐妹，继承了家族母系的超自然力量。

剧组将许多店面刷成了白色，增加了几个新招牌和门面（自 1938, 年起营业的 Toby's Tavern 被重新装扮成了一家名为 Catch & Fry 的炸鱼薯条店），并起用了一些好奇的当地人担任群众演员。在经过几周的拍摄以及（大部分）可以接受的干扰后，剧组收拾行囊离开，将一切恢复原样，仿佛挥动魔杖便让宁静回归。

但电影有一种萦绕的方式，在拍摄地留下一点点自己的痕迹。也许你也有这样一个最喜欢的地方——某个被镜头捕捉到的地方，即便实际地点发生了变化，它在电影中却永远保持原样，被时间冻结。如果你看过《绝妙烘焙师》，你可能会想到在西雅图国会山的第 15 街和松树街交汇处的最后一幕，杰夫·布里吉斯和米歇尔·菲佛在那里或许找到了幸福的结局。虽然现在的社区看起来与当年完全不同，但每当我身处该区域，总会想起他们，仿佛他们无形的脚步某种程度上留在了这里。这是一个微小的魔法时刻。

西雅图到处都是这样的脚步和时刻：在 Athenian 餐厅里，汤姆·汉克斯和罗伯·赖纳曾在《西雅图爱情故事》中坐在那里的吧台凳上；在国会山那栋《单身人士》一伙人居住的公寓楼里；在《认清你的位置》中铺满秋叶的南西雅图街道上。这些记忆会出乎意料地浮现：就在前几天，我在联合湖的一艘船上，有人看着煤气工厂公园（Gas Works Park）提到了《 10 Things I Hate About You》里的彩弹战。生活在继续，但电影定格了，让我们能将它们随身携带。

《实用魔法》于 1998 年 10 月在电影院上映（恰逢万圣节季节），是一部古怪的小电影——它是多种类型的奇特混合体，偶尔演员们的表演看起来像是处于不同的电影中——但它极其擅长的一点是创造一个让你向往加入的世界。萨莉和吉莉安，以及后来加入的萨莉的小女儿们（由埃文·蕾切尔·伍德和亚历山德拉·阿特里普饰演），与她们古怪的姨妈们（黛安·威斯特和斯托卡德·钱宁）一起住在一栋童话般的维多利亚式房子里。那是一个像《维多利亚》杂志梦境般的家，充满了烛光、干花，以及比绝对必要数量多得多的装饰性玻璃器皿，还有一个可以俯瞰湛蓝海湾的葱郁花园；电影中几对姐妹之间不可抑制地咯咯笑着，喝着午夜玛格丽塔，施展咒语，可爱地甩动着头发。

而库普维尔扮演了这座房子所在的纽英格兰小镇（实际上它并不是），其表现出一种不可思议的魅力。

虽然这座小镇在银幕上的出镜时间并不长——大部分情节发生在姨妈家内部的场景中——但那些白漆并没有白费。当布洛克和艾丹·奎因（饰演一名侦探，正在调查一起此处不便透露以免剧透的案件）在如画般的海湾前交谈时，一艘时机恰到好处的帆船在他们之间缓缓驶过，你几乎能感受到水面上吹来的微风。而前街（Front Street）看起来就像每个人心中理想的小镇商业区：白色的栅栏，热闹的农贸市场，每一扇窗户都闪闪发光。

受《实用魔法 2》（可惜是在距离太平洋西北地区数千英里外的英国赫特福德郡拍摄的）上映的启发，今年夏天，我在一个极其炎热的周二访问了库普维尔（Coupeville），那天的景象与干脆的落叶和万圣节氛围相去甚远。

其实那时并不是最佳的访问时机：每年十月，库普维尔会举办“实用魔法万圣节”活动，整个小镇都被《实用魔法》的主题笼罩，包括寻宝游戏、游行、街头舞蹈、由导游带领的“实用魔法”步行游览、南瓜赛跑，当然，还有多场电影放映。

因此，我对七月的行程并没有太高期待，只希望看到一座漂亮的城镇并找个不错的地方吃顿午餐。然而，尽管季节不对，“实用魔法”的影响却无处不在。在游客中心可以领取到的自助步行游览手册中就有它的身影，手册详尽地列出了电影中出现的所有库普维尔建筑，以及它们在现实生活中的过去与现在。在那些商店里，即便在 28 年后，依然在热销《实用魔法》的 T 恤、DVD、贴纸书和帆布袋。在那些看起来与电影中一模一样的店面里也是如此，

尽管 Verbena Botanicals（布洛克饰演的角色在其中销售手工调配的滋补剂和乳液的商店）现在已成了一家诱人的墨西哥餐厅。在 Kapaws Iskreme 冰淇淋店上方悬挂的彩绘冰淇淋圆锥形招牌上也能看到——拍摄时这里并不是冰淇淋店，但现在却使用了为电影制作的招牌。

而且，这种感觉也体现在我心中那种微妙的、略带战栗的熟悉感中，仿佛我曾经来过这里，尽管这是我第一次来到库普维尔。电影能让我们觉得已经去过某个地方，让另一个地方在 2 小时内成为我们的家。如果电影拍得好，我们会记得这段旅程，它被深藏在记忆的某个角落，只需要一点熟悉的风景就能将其唤醒。

然而，在我访问期间，有一件东西并不在那里，而且从未在那里出现过。电影中那栋位于水边、美丽的维多利亚式姨妈家——我们曾看到布洛克沿着风景如画的水滨小径直接跑向前街——在库普维尔从未存在过。（那条小径确实存在，但它通向一个公园和一栋私人住宅，我想住在那里的人一定已经厌倦了游客询问欧文斯家在哪里。）那只是一个精心搭建的空壳，为了电影而在圣胡安岛的水滨环境中建造，拍摄结束后便被拆除；其精美的室内场景则是在好莱坞的摄影棚中完成的。虽然有传闻称，芭芭拉·史翠珊在看完电影后曾打电话给制片人询问是否可以买下那栋房子，但它注定不会长久。那栋房子只是一幅美丽的画面，早已消失。

在前往库普维尔之前我就知道这一切，但我还是忍不住看向悬崖之上，想知道那栋房子的幽灵是否就在那里，在秋夜中静静地发光。电影的奇妙之处就在于……嗯，它们就是魔法。

选择合适的球根植物以威慑动物入侵者

利用具有防御能力的植物来远离害兽

作者：Jessica Damiano 美联社（ASSOCIATED PRESS）

对于园丁来说，最糟糕的事情莫过于看着自己精心规划和辛勤劳作的成果，在周围所有能啃到它们的四足“食客”的牙齿下化为乌有。

因此，如果你打算在今年秋天种植球根植物，请选择合适的品种，以免种下的是一份“晚餐”。

虽然没有哪种植物能 100% 防动物，但一些春季开花的球根植物具有毒性或口感不佳的自我防御机制，鹿、兔子和啮齿动物往往会避开它们。

然而，宠物主人和家长在决定将这些植物种在儿童或毛茸茸的家庭成员触手可及的地方时，应保持谨慎。

最令动物反感的球根植物

帝王冠百合被称作“臭百合”并非没有原因。只要闻一下那些气味难闻、簇状、向下垂且呈钟形的花朵，就会让你感觉置身于臭鼬保护区——或者一个汗涔涔的更衣室。任何有自尊的生物都不会故意去闻，更不用说食用这种植物的任何部分了，而且它还含有剧毒的类固醇生物碱。

但不要因此而放弃种植它们。这些引人注目的植物不仅能驱走啮齿动物，还能吸引传粉昆虫，在春季花园中格外抢眼。只要不要把它们种在正门走道附近即可。

葱属植物（Alliums）与洋葱是亲戚，其球根的气味毫不掩饰这一点，因此它们通常不会被干扰。它们的花朵有类似但较淡的香味。如果兔子特别饥饿，可能会尝试啃咬，但球根、叶片和茎干中苦涩的硫化合物会把它们吓跑。这些植物同样有毒。

同样，所有类型的水仙花——从端庄的琼花水仙到巨大的喇叭水仙——都含有大多数动物都知道要避开的苦味毒性成分。

令人反感的球根植物

虽然对我们人类来说香味宜人，但荷兰风信子花散发出的浓郁甜香对许多动物来说却令人反感，同样如此的还有非亲缘关系的葡萄风信子，其果香味被鹿和兔子感知为麝香味。虽然两者都没有葱属植物那么刺鼻，但两种风信子都含有毒性化合物，如果被咬到或误食，会导致口腔刺激和胃部不适。

西班牙蓝铃花含有皂苷（闻起来和尝起来像肥皂），以及有毒的心脏糖苷。

雪滴花、西伯利亚番红花、银莲花、雪荣花、冬水仙和伯利恒之星是较小的所谓“次要”球根植物，其花期比上述大型球根植物更早。但凭借其不讨喜的气味、苦味和 / 或毒性化合物，它们在威慑野生动物啃食方面威力十足。

由于它们具有强大的防御能力，且繁殖迅速，又不被动物控制数量，其中一些植物（尤其是西伯利亚番红花、西班牙蓝铃花和伯利恒之星）可能会迅速变成入侵物种，因此种植时请谨慎。

与动物喜爱的球根混种

所有这些植物都经过世世代代的演化，利用自然防御机制来避免被食用，你也可以利用这一点。

如果你想种植动物喜爱的球根植物（如郁金香或番红花），可以尝试用那些口感不佳的植物将它们包围起来。当这些植物散发出气味和化学物质来保护自己时，部分防御效果也会延伸到它们的邻居身上。

花园问答

如何处理植物上的介壳虫侵害

小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）上的介壳虫。TIM JOHNSON / 芝加哥植物园

作者：Tim Johnson 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

问：我的小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）花床有一块区域出现了奇怪的白色斑点。我想知道它们是什么，以及如果它们是个问题，我是否应该采取行动。

——扎卡里·弗雷德里克（Zachary Frederick），基尔迪尔（Kildeer）

答：从你的照片来看，你的小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）似乎受到了冬青介壳虫（euonymus scale）的侵害。这是我第一次在小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）上看到这个问题。这种害虫利用其刺吸式口器吸食植物汁液，从而伤害宿主植物。这是一种难以控制的害虫，因为成虫会产生一层保护壳（装甲），使杀虫剂在它们被覆盖期间失效。当害虫数量增加时，你应该处理花园中的这种害虫。

目前，你不需要采取任何行动。雌性介壳虫在植物上越冬，并在 4 月下旬和 5 月开始产卵。它们在两到三周的时间内孵化成幼虫（crawlers）。雄虫在狭窄的白色蜡质涂层下进食，并在春季与雌虫交配。幼虫在植物上游走一小段时间，然后开始进食并产生蜡质覆盖层。第二代幼虫在 7 月下旬至 8 月期间产生。防治这种昆虫的最佳时机是它们处于幼虫阶段时。

我建议你在明年 3 月修剪掉小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）花床中所有受侵害的区域，以清除越冬的雌虫。将植物残骸丢弃在垃圾桶中，或交给商业景观废物处理机构，那里的堆肥堆温度足够高，可以杀死这些昆虫。幼虫在 5 月下旬至 6 月初以及 7 月下旬至 8 月期间活跃，这提供了两次采取防治措施的机会。从花园中清除越冬成虫应能显著减少害虫。在幼虫阶段向你的小叶黄杨属植物（pachysandra）喷施夏季轻质休眠油，可以获得更好的控制效果。

树木问题可能需要数年才会显现

树木往往反映出数年前发生的事情。常绿树木掉落比平时更多的最老针叶，可能是两三年前春季多雨天气的结果。BETH BOTTS / 莫顿树木园（THE MORTON ARBORETUM）

作者：Beth Botts

为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

当你发现树木出现问题时，有时是因为数年前发生的事情。

“树木处于长期生存状态，”位于利尔（Lisle）的莫顿树木园植物诊所的植物知识专家莎伦·伊斯拉（Sharon Yiesla）表示，“它们的反应时间较慢，生命周期也较慢。在照顾树木时，采取这种思维方式会有所帮助。”

例如，每年秋天，松树和云杉等常绿树木和灌木都会掉落最老的针叶。白松会丢弃两到三年前的针叶；红松则会掉落四年前的针叶。

有时，掉落的针叶数量似乎多得惊人。原因可能是

两三年前，你的白松运气很好。“也许那个春天雨水充足，植物能够生长出大量的新叶，”她说，“现在它们的时间到了，于是全部一起掉落。”

只要树木掉落的是最老的针叶——即最靠近树干的那些——这就是白松的生长方式，无需担心。

数年前发生的事情也可能意味着真正的麻烦。例如，严重干旱的影响可能需要数年时间才会导致树木死亡。

当土壤长时间过于干燥时，构成树木根系大部分的细小吸收根会干枯死亡。这意味着即使再次开始下雨，树木也没有足够的根来吸收或储存所需的水分。随着时间的推移，这种水分缺失意味着树木难以支撑其叶片和树枝。压力不断累积，直到树木死亡。

讽刺的是，水分过多也会产生同样的效果。“当树木在洪水中被淹没，或必须生活在积水的土壤中时，根部经常会腐烂，”伊斯拉说。因腐烂而死亡的根与因干旱而死亡的根一样，会导致树木缺乏足够的根系来维持长期生存。

建筑工程导致的土壤压实是另一种缓慢的树木杀手。树木可能会死亡，因为其根系生存的土壤被重型设备通行或建筑材料、碎片堆积所压实。

“等到树木最终死亡时，你可能已经享受新露台或扩建的厨房好几年了，”她说。但在这些年里，树木一直在渴求无法渗透进压实土壤的空气和水分。

这就是为什么在面对树木问题时，植物诊所经常会询问院子的历史。这也是为什么聪明的园丁会考虑物业重大变更的长期影响，并且经常记录一些笔记。

“拥有关于你的院子和社区发生过什么的某种记录，对于诊断植物问题会有很大帮助，”伊斯拉说，“生长季节结束时是回顾今年重大天气事件和其他重大变化并将其记录下来以供未来参考的好时机。”

业主花费 $400K 拯救银枫树

联排别墅开发商将此决定比作“救助年老多病的狗”

作者：Elizabeth A. Harris 《纽约时报》

两名经营着一家小型开发公司的朋友终于在纽约市布鲁克林区凑齐了一块完美的土地。在红钩（Red Hook）社区的迪克曼街（Dikeman Street）上，一串狭窄的地块为他们提供了足够的空间来建造四栋高端联排别墅，并留有社区规划条例所要求的侧院和退让空间。

但有些东西先占据了那里：一棵巨大的古树。那是一棵银枫树，高六层楼，树干直径 5 英尺，粗糙的树皮呈螺旋状盘旋向天空延伸。其根系在前院横跨 20 英尺，正好位于其中一栋联排别墅需要建造的位置。

开发公司 Hier 的联合创始人兼建筑师本·克罗内（Ben Krone）告诉他的合伙人菲利普·苏尔克（Phillip Sulke），这棵树很漂亮，但必须砍掉。

“本的反应是‘我们没法救这棵树’，”苏尔克回忆道，“‘我们无法建成想要的样子。这会让你花掉一大笔钱。’而我说：‘那我们就别做了。因为我不会砍掉这棵树。’”

于是，一项极不寻常的开发工程开始了，苏尔克和克罗内花费了数十万美元来拯救这一棵枫树。

他们将下水道和水管深埋地下，以免干扰到树根。他们采用了复杂的结构工程方案，使房屋正面悬挑，远离根系。甚至当克罗内的儿子在房屋内部的一根梁上发现一个哀鸽巢时，他们放慢了施工进度。建筑工人用胶合板搭建了一个小型围栏，以保护雏鸟免受焊接火花的伤害。

克罗内表示，他咨询了一位树艺师，对方告诉他这棵树大约有 100 年历史，而银枫树通常活不过 100 或 120 岁。但他们不想成为杀死它的那个人。

“这就像是在救助一只年老多病的狗，”克罗内说。

作为项目的首席投资者，苏尔克会率先告诉你他是一个不寻常的房地产开发商。他是一位常驻维也纳的奥地利艺术家，利用无人机拍摄风景和巨轮的照片。他的部分作品在维也纳应用艺术博物馆展出。据他所说，他对历史的欣赏往往会压倒理性的财务决策。

克罗内形容他的商业伙伴“对旧事物异常感性”。他们在迪克曼街买的房子中有一栋没有屋顶，只剩下正在崩塌的建筑外壳。他问克罗内：“你确定我们没法救这栋房子吗？”

苏尔克在红钩区沃尔科特街（Wolcott Street）买下的一块像谜题一样棘手的地块开启了他的开发生涯。在他拥有那片杂草丛生、泥泞不堪的土地后，他意识到规划限制使其几乎无法建设。该地块上的任何新房都被要求拥有 8 英尺宽的侧院，但地块总宽仅 20 英尺。

他聘请了红钩区的居民、某种程度上的社区规划专家克罗内来帮忙寻找解决方案。利用飓风桑迪之后出台的一项豁免条款，他们得以在原址上的一栋小房子的基底范围内进行建设，并增加了一个 12 英尺宽的扩建部分。他们将餐厅和浴室安置在 L 型房屋的狭窄翼楼中。

这栋房子在几天内便售出，苏尔克利用收益在迪克曼街买了一块地。随后他又买了一块，接着又是一块。当他和克罗内拥有足够建造联排别墅的土地时（三个地块，其中一个是双宽地块），克罗内做的第一件事就是打电话给树艺师，看看能否救下那棵树。

克罗内说，对于苏尔克来说，救树是“无需思考的决定”，但克罗内自己花的时间更长才加入，因为作为一名建筑师，他能预见到未来的麻烦。“我的反应是‘我会研究一下的’——同时，你知道的，在心里悄悄地翻了个白眼，”克罗内说。

但曾在宾夕法尼亚大学教授建筑设计的克罗内最终改变了主意。他在红钩区（Red Hook）已经住了15年，他讨厌成为那种在启动项目时就砍掉街区最高棵树的开发商。

“直接进来推平一切并彻底改变社区特质，感觉不对，”他说。他继续说道：“这些正是我所教授的内容——负责任的开发。”

Urban Arborist的创始人比尔·洛根在项目初期对这棵树进行了检查。他表示，银枫原产于纽约，但如今这里很少种植。在纽约市的街道上，更常见的是刺槐和某些品种的橡树，银杏也是如此。

保护这棵银枫最复杂的部分，是将房屋及其地基与错综复杂的根系隔离开来。KATHERINE MARKS 为《纽约时报》供稿

银枫能够忍受恶劣的城市环境，并尽管环境艰苦仍能迅速长得高大。然而，它们可能比较脆弱，洛根表示，它们在抵御风暴方面不如许多其他树种。

“没有人能告诉你一棵树能生长多久，”他说。“但有一种‘我想永生’的流派，这在橡树中很典型——它们生长缓慢，长新枝也慢，但会加固一切。而银枫则更像是‘及时行乐，早夭’的品种。”

当克罗内和苏尔克发现这棵树时，树的一侧被拧进了一盆假盆栽，而且多年来没有经过修剪或照料。

但住在迪克曼街（Dikeman）对面的一位邻居瑞秋·索辛斯基说，她喜欢在厨房窗前观察鸟类，而这棵树是该街区最好的“鸟类地产”。她说，红衣主教鸟喜欢在树上逗留，红尾鵟则将其作为狩猎的集结地，以便俯冲攻击鸽子。

现在，这些联排别墅已经完工。每栋建筑面积为2,800平方英尺，内部可见巨大的重型木梁，后方可俯瞰红钩港，主卧外的露台上种植着紫锥花和黑心金光菊。希尔计划将每栋售价定在约400万美元。

克罗内表示，为了避开根系而采用悬臂结构设计房屋，总共花费了约$400,000。

“设计决策是基于尝试围绕这个物体进行操作，但它本身就像一件雕塑作品，”克罗内说。“你真的无法为此标价。”

客厅具有现代斯堪的纳维亚风格，摆放着汉斯·韦格纳（Hans Wegner）设计的日间床、Meyer Davis设计的粗粒感扶手椅以及约瑟夫·弗兰克（Josef Frank）设计的纺织品。吊灯由安娜·卡林（Anna Karlin）设计。

这对夫妇将露台的一部分封闭起来，创建了一个他们称之为“橙室”（orangerie）的日光室。

纳什维尔 接第B7页

尽管这处房产位于田纳西州，但它让他们想起了欧洲一些最喜爱的目的地。“这是一种科茨沃尔德风格的石屋，与周围景观相融合，”威尔·迈耶说。

在房屋后方，客厅通向一个视野开阔的露台，上面有一个覆盖着藤蔓的凉亭。“感觉就像坐在意大利的露台上俯瞰山谷，到处是石头和拱门，”克斯汀·迈耶说。

他们不想进行重大改动，但他们确实想将

主卫浴间的地砖、洗手台、水龙头和浴缸也全部由 Davis 设计。

他们希望通过个性化改造，让家感觉更像他们自己的风格。他们保留了原有的木地板，但进行了打磨和漂白处理，使其看起来更清新。他们将现有的 V 型槽护墙板刷成了高光白色。他们对厨房进行了改造，采用了釉面砖墙贴，并安装了一个带有瀑布边设计的新型冰川白大理石岛台，同时升级了电力和管道系统。他们让新的主卫浴间完全采用了 Meyer Davis 的设计方案，包括几何形石材地砖、一套来自 Claybrook 的双洗手台和浸浴缸，以及来自 Watermark 的水龙头，所有这些均由该公司设计。

更多的装饰细节包括前厅一幅由 Phillip Jeffries 创作的壁纸壁画，描绘了柳树的长长枝条，以及主卧室内的线性丝绸墙纸。在艺术品方面，这对夫妇挂上了知名当代艺术家的作品，例如墨西哥出生的博斯科·索迪（Bosco Sodi），同时也摆放了他们的孩子以及克尔斯汀·迈耶（Kerstin Meyer）的继父恩里克·巴蒂斯塔（Enrique Batista）的作品。

他们的家具选择同样广泛。这里既有中世纪现代风格的古董发现，包括在前厅摆放的一张在 1stDibs 上买到的书桌，也混搭了家族传家宝，比如一面曾属于威尔·迈耶（Will Meyer）父亲的金箔镜。当然，这里还有许多由 Meyer Davis 设计的家具，该公司通过其品牌 William Gray 进行销售。

然而，为了向克尔斯汀·迈耶的血统致敬，在瑞典设计并制造的家具也同样普遍。她的母亲是瑞典人，她和威尔·迈耶经常回到斯德哥尔摩探亲。在这些旅程中，他们总是会光顾设计店 Svenskt Tenn，该店以生产约瑟夫·弗兰克（Josef Frank）的作品而闻名。

“走进那里真的非常具有启发性，”克尔斯汀·迈耶说，“而且很难离开。”因此，他们一直采取次优方案——将他们最喜欢的发现购买并运回家中，包括奥斯曼脚凳、圆凳和靠垫。

尽管室内设计一直在演变，但这次不紧不慢的翻修工作在去年基本完成。威尔·迈耶估计，他们在六年时间里大约花费了 $600,000。这包括他们通过在露台部分区域安装窗户而创建的一个阳光房的费用。

他们将这个空间称为“橘园”（orangerie），因为那是他们种植柑橘类树木的地方。不过，克尔斯汀·迈耶迅速指出，这个房间里并没有橙树：“我们种的是迈耶柠檬，当然了。”

电视评论

令人不安却又幽默的素描喜剧节目：导演林奇式的诡谲

作者：罗伯特·劳埃德 (Robert Lloyd) 洛杉矶时报

乔丹·门多萨主演《乔丹·门多萨的恐怖》（The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza）。他同时担任该剧的导演并参与共同创作。ADULT SWIM

最近在 Adult Swim 频道首播的《乔丹·门多萨的恐怖》——这是一个最合适且或许是唯一可能的播出空间——正如其创作者在序言中所描述的那样，是一部“《阴阳魔界》（Twilight Zone）式的素描喜剧节目”。如果在看完 13 集中每集 11 分钟的 8 集之后，他没有先这么说，我也正打算这么评价。门多萨（菲律宾裔美国人）强调其亚洲血统，并补充道：“如果你不这么做，简直就像是在种族歧视。”

门多萨主演、导演并与大卫·马查耶夫斯基（David Machajewski）共同编写该剧。他表示，部分创意源自真实的梦境——标题中的“恐怖”即是指噩梦——不过，如果以我自己的梦境生活为参照，这部剧的笑点更聪明，叙事则在诡异的同时更具凝聚力。它在不同时刻让人想起大卫·林奇（David Lynch）的诡谲或路易斯·布努埃尔（Luis Bunuel）的非逻辑跳跃，且带有某种《文斯·斯台普斯秀》（The Vince Staples Show）的味道，后者在其过于短暂的生命周期中也曾探索过一些奇怪的领域。

长度不一的素描片段将一个核心创意向各个方向延伸，且延伸程度往往超出你的预期。我们遇到了一位痴迷于 Wendy's 餐厅的治疗师。蝙蝠侠坚信自己患有成人多动症（ADHD），因为一个在线测试告诉他如此（他告诉阿尔弗雷德：“我知道很多人声称自己有 ADHD，但在我的情况下，我认为我确实有……我很有创意但容易崩溃，有组织力但同时又没有”）。

一名濒死之人（史蒂夫·布塞米 饰）执着于把遗言说对；一名囚犯被判处接受来自“最近法官”的“15 次拥抱和亲吻”。一名劫持人质的银行抢劫犯要求成为“一条著名的蛇……如果你不能接受这一点，那么这里的每个人都得死”。在一段模仿恐怖电影的片段中，门多萨被一群中年白人男子纠缠，这些人强迫他承认他们的妻子是亚洲人，这听起来确实像是某种个人经历。

无论喜剧走向何方，其表演都极其严肃且充满强度，恐怖感亦然。这部剧可以真正地令人不安，同时又真正地幽默。（两件事可以同时成立。）还有一个场景中，门多萨饰演一个坚信自己是哈利·波特式巫师的角色，他撞上了一堵他认为自己能穿过去的砖墙；没有什么比这更能让我发笑的了，除非是有人撞到低矮的门框，或者因为各种非致命原因突然摔倒。

三十多岁的门多萨拥有丰富的编剧和表演资历，包括为《戴夫》（Dave）编写剧本——这部由戴夫·伯德（Dave Burd）主演的喜剧讲述了一个来自费城的郊区犹太人认为自己命中注定将在说唱领域获得伟大成就的故事，以及在胡里奥·托雷斯（Julio Torres）的《问题解决者》（Problemista）和《幽灵》（Fantasmas）中担任角色，这些作品都处于另类喜剧的同一领域。他拥有一个关系广泛的人脉网；对于一个初次制作节目的人来说，其嘉宾名单之豪华令人印象深刻。

伟大的玛莎·凯利（Martha Kelly，出演过《篮筐》）饰演一名能将客户痛苦外在化的按摩师；在另一个片段中，她扮演一名参加坚信礼课程的女性，目的是了解耶稣回来时可能会“寄宿”在哪里（她有一个计划）。凯特·伯兰特（Kate Berlant）邀请门多萨参加一场结果证明是单人诗歌朗诵赛的活动，该活动秘密举行以避开朗诵者工会（“他们就像索普拉诺家族一样，而且更暴力”）。克里斯·帕内尔、兰德尔·帕克、万达·赛克斯、托马斯·伦农、克莉亚·杜瓦尔、莱克·贝尔、托比·哈斯、马克·马龙、弗雷德·阿米森以及格雷格·特金顿（来自《电影院看电影》的世界）全部参与其中。

你应该能从上述内容判断这是否符合你的口味。（虽然并非每个人都会喜欢，但这绝对是我偏好的那种阴暗且古怪的风格。）但事实上，它比这些描述给你的印象还要出色，一流的制作、稳健的表演（门多萨本人的表现也非常出色）以及每个人对当时任何情节的投入感，都提升了整体水准。其精妙之处尽在细节之中。

星座运势

如果 9 月 17 日是你的生日：深呼吸，2026 年接下来的时间应该比今年之前的几个月更轻松，也更有帮助。10 月可能会带来值得关注的重要洞察。其中至少有一个可能会成为你真正的转折点。

白羊座（3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日）：对于任何结果至关重要的事情，请等到明天。星象将在一夜之间从不利转为有利。坚持已知策略来完成工作——在这种不利的星象下，通常很难产生好的新想法。 金牛座（4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日）：财务领域有许多希望在排队等着你，但请在明天或之后再采取行动。

双子座（5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日）：当星象低迷时，问题很少能得到解决，但很容易让情况变得更糟。明天可能会提供今天观察中缺失的碎片——随着清晰度的增加，许多情况都会有所改善。巨蟹座（6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日）：尽管今天的评分低于零分，但你仍可能获得几个小时的意外好运，尤其是在处理日常琐事时。

狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：避免为必须确保正确的事情做最后的收尾工作，不利的星象通常意味着会有疏漏。

处女座（8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日）：感激小小的胜利，因为在星象暗淡时，这些胜利并不常见。在家中静养可能是目前最需要的。

天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：先保留那个想法。即使它看起来像是一个真正的赢家——实际上，尤其是当它看起来如此时。即使是小事也能从更好的时机中获益。

天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日）：预计财务状况将有所改善，但今天不要开始任何事情。新的抱负结合资源以及障碍的消除，都将对未来有所帮助。 射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日）：虽然你可能想改变外在形象，但等待更好的星象将最大限度地减少潜在的后悔。

摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日）：一段学习期可能很快会转向将这些新知识或新技能付诸实践。深层的内心探索可能会挖掘出被掩埋的宝藏，让生活变得更轻松。

水瓶座（1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日）：今天谨慎行事，但到明天，一点诚实可能会给一段友谊带来治愈。在共同面对的情况或财务问题中，合作可能很快会到来。不要让任何人定义你的价值观。

双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：今天是一个只需度过而不要尝试启动任何事情的日子——明天可能会带来突破。同样，将关于关系的讨论推迟到明天或之后。

桥牌

漏洞不显，西家发牌

Grand Avenue 作者：Mike Thompson

今天的牌局邀请您挑战想象力。北家的第二次加倍表明其拥有额外点数，但黑桃少于 4 张。除非南家认为他们能完成高水平合约，否则预计南家会弃叫。南家决定继续叫牌，这并非显而易见，尽管我们认为大多数玩家

叫牌过程：

西家< / td><>北家< / ><>东家< / ><>南家< / >< / tr><><>1♥< / ><>Dbl< / ><>3♥*< / ><>3♠< / >< / ><><>4♥< / ><>Dbl< / ><>Pass< / ><>4♠< / >< / table>

*抢先叫，至少 4 张红心 首攻：♣K

也会这样做。防守方首先进行了三轮梅花攻势，然后打出一张将牌。您将如何规划打法？根据叫牌，我们可以假设西家持有两个红色花色的K。问题在于我们只有

1 次进入手牌的机会，且只能进行 1 次试牌（finesse）。我们还能做什么吗？

我们应该意识到，如果东家持有 3 张或更多方块，我们可能无能为力。我们需要西家至少持有 3 张方块才能对他施压。让我们先出红心A。反正我们无法进行两次试牌，这样做可以明确局面。现在我们打出除最后一张外的所有将牌，此时手牌中剩下 3 张方块和一张将牌，明手（dummy）中剩下 3 张方块和红心Q。西家也将持有 3 张方块和 1 张红心——即K。在最后一张将牌时，西家将被迫弃掉一张方块，随后您可以从明手中弃掉红心Q。一次方块试牌将使您赢得最后 3 墩并完成合约。思考得不错！

随着小熊队与白袜队进入冲刺阶段，球迷的焦虑情绪达到顶峰

保罗·萨利文 在新闻之后

芝加哥很少经历像现在这样一个棒球赛季。

小熊队和白袜队在仅剩 11 天的时间里争夺季后赛席位，从现在起，每一场比赛都至关重要。

这可能是一个史诗般的结局——两支球队自 2008. 年以来首次在完整赛季中同时进入季后赛。也可能是一个悲剧性的结局——两队均未能达标。无论如何，这可能会让你对着电视大喊大叫，而这向来是一件好事。

芝加哥是一座拥有深厚棒球传统但缺乏冠军奖杯的伟大棒球之城。因此，如果你因为近期牛棚的崩溃而陷入“小熊焦虑”，或者因为强打者的三振而感到“白袜忧郁”，请放心，你并不孤单。

白袜队自 7 月 4 日以来首次失去美联中区领先地位

白袜队周三在克利夫兰以 6-3 告负，自 7 月 4 日以来首次跌出第一名。而就在周二，他们距离赢得系列赛并带着胜利离开这座城市仅差一次三振。

接下来的比赛

作者：拉蒙德·波普 芝加哥论坛报

克利夫兰——周三对阵克利夫兰守护者队的比赛中，白袜队的救援投手在第六局失去了控制力。

而白袜队也失去了对美国联盟中区的掌控。

在 Progressive Field 体育场 23,336 名观众的注视下，白袜队以 6-3 负于守护者队，在分区的排名掉至第二。此前，白袜队自 7 月 4 日以来一直至少共同持有中区领先地位。

守护者队接管了第一名，领先白袜队半场。白袜队不仅在争夺分区冠军，还在争夺外卡席位。他们目前持有美联第 3 号外卡，领先德克萨斯队 $1 \frac{1}{2}$ 场。德州游骑兵队将于周三晚些时候主场迎战波士顿红袜队。

白袜队在常规赛中还剩下 10 场比赛。

“失去领先地位确实很艰难，但”

“与此同时，我们还有很长的路要走，很多事情都可能发生，”经理威尔·维纳布尔说道。

比赛在第六局发生了转折。白袜队救援投手哈根·史密斯送出了两次保送，随后皮蒂·哈尔平击出了一记针对肖恩·纽康姆的三分本垒打，使守护者队以 5-3 领先。

纽康姆随后保送了布赖恩·罗基奥，后者在何塞·拉米雷斯的二垒安打中得分。守护者队在该局通过两次安打和四次保送共得四分。

“总的来说就是球没有投完，比如给哈尔平投的那颗伸卡球，”纽康姆说。“投到了中间。”

接下来的赛程

作者：菲尔·汤普森 芝加哥论坛报

虽然赛程只过去了一周，但熊队依然清晰地记得 2025 年在士兵球场与明尼苏达维京人队的早期交手情况。

在去年的揭幕战中，熊队在主场观众面前失利，在“周一橄榄球之夜”的比赛中，他们浪费了第四节领先 11 分的优势，最终以 27-24 告负。

“去年的赛季就是去年的赛季，”后卫乔什·布莱克韦尔说道。“如果非要回顾的话，上次我们交手时，我们在最后一分钟的射门得分地赢了（11 月 16 日以 19-17 获胜，比赛在明尼阿波利斯的美国银行体育场举行）。所以，我的意思是，那已经成了过去。我们现在只关注本赛季，以及如何基于第一周的表现继续提升。”

在 Week 1，熊队以 59-37 大胜卡罗来纳黑豹队。

维京人队对阵熊队 周日正午， Fox-32

本周三在哈拉斯大厅，本·约翰逊表示，他们预计这次的比赛将是一场更激烈的肉搏战，尤其是面对一个“每周都让人头疼”的防守阵线。

维京人队此前以 29 分的连续得分震惊了格林贝包装工队，由替补四分卫卡森·温茨率队完成逆转，以 39-29 获胜。

“这是一个非常强大的对手，”约翰逊说。“显然，他们是分区对手，但从他们去年结束的方式以及今年开始的状态来看，他们正处于火热状态。我想他们已经连续 6 场获胜了。”

角卫杰伦·约翰逊补充道：“我们面对的是（维京人队教练）凯文·奥康奈尔及其进攻组，一个很强的对手，他们这些年来所取得的成就非常出色。所以我们很期待这次竞争。”

以下是我们周三从熊队了解到的三件事。

1. 卡莱布·威廉姆斯的决策速度在加快。

联盟宣布，球迷投票选出威廉姆斯和布法罗比尔队四分卫乔什·艾伦为 Week 1 的 FedEx 空地 NFL 球员之星。威廉姆斯贡献了 334 码的总码数和 4 个达阵——2 次传球达阵和 2 次冲球达阵——以及 124.1 的评分。

本·约翰逊注意到，这位四分卫在比赛中表现出了更强的预判能力，这种能力他开始通过——

黑鹰队

在激烈的潜力新秀展示赛中脱颖而出的 3 名球员

作者：Kalen Lumpkins 芝加哥论坛报

周二，黑鹰队在 USG 竞技场与圣路易斯蓝调队进行了两场比赛中的第二场，以此结束了他们的 2026-27 赛季潜力新秀展示赛。

比赛过程极其激烈，充满了大量的强力冲撞和脱手格斗。Game 1, 一场 3-1 的蓝调队胜利发生在周一，期间发生了多次挥拳冲突。而黑鹰队在 Game 2 以 5-2 获胜，其中出现了数次打斗。

黑鹰队教练杰夫·布拉希尔（Jeff Blashill）在周四训练营开始前，观看这些年轻滑冰选手的这场“半试训”比赛。以下是本周引起关注的三名潜力新秀。

AJ SPELLACY，

右翼 / 中锋

这位 20 岁的速度型球员在进入新秀营时就是冰上速度最快的球员。这似乎让蓝调队的希望之星们措手不及，因为他与萨查·博伊韦尔（Sacha Boisvert）和瑞安·鲁布罗克（Ryan Roobroeck）一起在第一线滑行。

Spellacy 利用他的体型和流畅的滑行创造了大量的得分机会，让蓝调队的防守队员们感到莫名其妙。他在 Game 1 中没有得分——他的多次射门中有一球击中了横梁——但在 Game 2 中凭借两个进球证明了自己。

这位前锋的身体对抗能力得到了充分展示。每当有冲撞机会时， 总是能让蓝调队的球员付出代价。

“这是我比赛风格的重要组成部分——这也是我想做的事情，” 说道。“我尝试在场上飞驰，进行身体对抗，让对手难以应对我。”

蓝调队新秀科林·拉尔夫（Colin Ralph）对此感到不满，并在 Game 1 后期冲撞了 。黑鹰队后卫阿什顿·坎比（Ashton Cumby）通过脱手格斗并赢得一场激烈的打斗，为队友出头——这让 非常高兴。

“那太棒了，” 说。“这恰恰证明了他是一个多么好的队友。他的表现简直不可思议。我很感激。”

在黑鹰队工作人员面前，这是一次近乎完美的试训。时机也恰到好处，因为 正在为他在 AHL 罗克福德冰猪队（Rockford IceHogs）的第一个职业赛季做准备。

“他迈出了一大步，”冰猪队教练贾里德·奈廷格尔（Jared Nightingale）表示。“每一个赛季都是一次成熟的过程。像 这样的人能够脱颖而出。”

马丁·米西亚克 (MARTIN MISIAK)，边锋

米西亚克在罗克福德的首个赛季并未如预期般顺利。从青年队跨越到职业队向来是一个巨大的挑战，而他在 OHL 埃里奥特队（Erie Otters）时期展现的进攻才华在很大程度上消失了。

这位 21 岁的边锋在 2024-25 赛季于埃里队 60 场常规赛中总共获得 59 分（23 个进球，36 次助攻），但在为冰原之鹰队（IceHogs）出战的 63 场比赛中仅获得 15 分（4 个进球，11 次助攻）。

在第二个职业赛季中，他希望找回自己的灵气，而他在展示赛中的三个进球（包括第二场比赛中的两个）应该会有所帮助。

“我觉得我现在能打全场 200 英尺的比赛了，”与伊里·费尔茨曼（Jiri Felcman）和马雷克·范阿克（Marek Vanacker）同在第二线滑行的米西亚克说道，“我可以保护好球（并且）打出更具职业风格的冰球。”

奈廷格尔补充道：“（米西亚克）在收获努力成果方面做得非常好。看到这样的孩子获得回报是很令人欣慰的，但这对他来说仅仅是旅程的开始。”

泰格·哈丁 (TAIGE HARDING)， 后卫

身高 6 英尺 7, 236 磅的哈丁在与杰克·弗隆（Jake Furlong）组成顶级后卫搭档滑行时，在两队的新秀中显得格外高大。

奈廷格尔在 prospect 练习期间重点关注球杆的活跃度，可以肯定的是，哈丁学到了一些东西。他在利用庞大身躯在持球时冲破防守球员的同时，封堵了多次蓝衣队（Blues）的射门。哈丁还出现在顶级点球击杀（penalty-kill）单元中。

24, 岁的哈丁是新秀训练营中经验最丰富的球员，因此他佩戴了队长袖标。他将在 2026-27 赛季迎来在罗克福德的第三个赛季。

“佩戴队徽是一种荣誉，所以担任新秀队的队长是我非常重视的事情，”哈丁说道。

萨利文 (SULLIVAN) 接 C1 页

注。这是典型的白袜队式反转，在不到 24 小时内从极度兴奋跌入痛苦深渊。自 8 月 30, 日（当时他们处于赛季最高点，领先 .500 胜率 9 场）以来，他们的战绩为 5 胜 12 负。

“我认为我们处于一个不错的状态，”经理威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）在赛后告诉记者，他试图在丢掉维持了 $2 \frac{1}{2}$ 个月的分区领先地位后寻找积极的一面。

小熊队在周二的失利中因后期领先被反超后，在与亚特兰大勇士队的决胜局中以 8-4 获胜，并在进入辛辛那提的周末系列赛前，与费城费城人队激烈竞争国家联盟（NL）外卡赛的首位。自 8 月 25, 日（当时他们领先 .500 胜率 20 场）以来，他们的战绩为 9 胜 12 负。经理克雷格·考塞尔（Craig Counsell）和维纳布尔一样乐观，尽管在一次救援失败（blown save）之后很难看出这种乐观。

小熊队和白袜队的球迷们交替处于恍惚和困惑之中，这对他们中的大多数人来说是一种成年礼。

无论你在城市的哪个方向长大，我们天生就被设定为希望最好的结果，并为最坏的情况做准备。这就是前几代小熊队和白袜队球迷留下的遗产，他们忍受了绝大多数的糟糕，仅伴随着极少量的美好。

众所周知，在我们这一辈、我们父母这一辈，甚至可能是我们祖父母这一辈的生命中，我们只见证过两次冠军。对于这两支球队的球迷来说，“1”是最孤独的数字，而对于白袜队球迷来说，距离 2005. 年似乎已经过了很久。2016 年之后的小熊队球迷亦然。

当然，我们理应得到更好的结果。但正如克林特·伊斯特伍德在《不可饶恕》中那句名言所说：“‘理应’与此无关。”

根据 ESPN 的数据，小熊队进入季后赛的概率为 $99.5\%$，因此最大的担忧是他们将排在费城人队或圣迭戈教徒队之后，并在客场进行三场两胜制的外卡赛。

此时，小熊队可能想在贾斯汀·斯蒂尔（Justin Steele）还没准备好时就将其召回，仅仅是为了安抚焦虑球迷的神经。比起目前牛棚中的大多数成员，大多数球迷宁愿看到斯蒂尔的全息投影，因为该牛棚已有 26 次救援失败，其中 4 次发生在 9 月的前两周。

小熊队业务运营总裁克雷恩·肯尼（Crane Kenney）在周三比赛前的每日引导员会议上发表了鼓舞人心的讲话，提醒他们去年在击败教徒队获得外卡胜利时，主场优势发挥得多么出色。他虽然不是斯蒂尔，但他们似乎认可这份努力。

皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗（Pete Crow-Armstrong）这个MVP级别的赛季——他在周三的比赛中击出两支独跑本垒打和一次打入一分的三垒安打，进一步丰富了他的履历——如果没有一场在瑞格利球场（Wrigley）举行的季后赛，将是不完整的。因此，确保这一切发生，责任在PCA及其队友身上。

在周三的失利后，白袜队的晋级概率为$73.5\%$，这表明只要能以不错的成绩收尾并获得一些外界帮助，他们仍能进入十月的季后赛。但他们也可能在客场开始征程，这将增加难度。

尽管科尔森·蒙哥马利（Colson Montgomery）在一个赛季中的三振次数（211次）几乎超过了名人堂二垒手内利·福克斯（Nellie Fox）在19年职业生涯中的总数（216次），但南区（South Side）仍有理由保持乐观。白袜队在与守护者队的交手记录中占据优势，因此尽管他们在美联中区落后半场，但只要接下来的比赛全胜，就能锁定分区冠军。

白袜队周四开始在主场进行四场比赛，对手是突然变得具有竞争力的底特律老虎队，后者最希望看到的就是破坏白袜队的赛季，让所谓的“魔数”变得毫无意义。当天也是“蒂姆·安德森之夜”（Tim Anderson Night），球队将向这位前球员致敬；就在五年前，他还被认为是球队的门面，随后白袜队的一切开始走下坡路。

希望白袜队的球迷能顶着上学日（school night）的压力前来致敬安德森，并在季后赛争夺战中为球队提供助力。一个半满的白袜队公园球场是远远不够的。

维纳布尔（Venable）在周三失利后告诉记者，尽管在克利夫兰的结果不理想，但他为球队感到“自豪”。

唯一能成为新闻的，大概就是维纳布尔没有说他感到自豪。但由于白袜队的球迷正试图消化现状，并思考如果最终未能进入季后赛，这个疯狂的赛季是否还能被视为成功，因此他那不懈的乐观主义在此时显得至关重要。

前白袜队捕手A.J. 皮尔津斯基（A.J. Pierzynski）在他的“Foul Territory”播客中表示，既然球队自7月4日以来一直领跑分区，如果最终未能晋级，那将是“组织层面的失败”。

我不确定是否认同这个逻辑，因为在二月份开始春训时，世界上没有人认为白袜队有竞争力。

但事实是，总经理克里斯·盖茨（Chris Getz）在交易截止日进行了多次操作，而没有一项奏效。村上宗隆（Munetaka Murakami）在过去两个月里几乎销声匿迹，维纳布尔对投手组的调度也饱受抨击。另一方面，你也可以认为维纳布尔从这套阵容中挖掘出的潜力已经超过了任何一名经理应有的预期，一个胜率.500的赛季可能就是任何人能预想到的最好结果了。

无论小熊队或白袜队结果如何，这个夏天在芝加哥都充满了乐趣，以及足以铭记一生的回忆。

这不正是观看体育比赛的意义所在吗？

德尔·马斯特罗签署2年、$1.9M合同

黑鹰队周三宣布，已与23岁的后卫伊森·德尔·马斯特罗（Ethan Del Mastro）签署了一份为期两年、$1.900 万的合同。这份单向合同将持续到2027-28赛季。

在训练营开营前一天，德尔·马斯特罗的合同锁定了黑鹰队最后一名受限自由球员。康纳·贝达德、凯文·科钦斯基和德鲁·科梅索已在夏季签署合同。

这是黑鹰队连续第二年就在训练营开始前签署后卫合同。去年，怀亚特·凯泽在训练营开营前不到24小时签署了其为期两年、$3.400 万的合同。

德尔·马斯特罗是2021年第四轮（第105顺位）的选秀球员，他是该届选秀中目前仍留在黑鹰队体系内的仅有的两名球员之一，另一名是24岁的后卫泰格·哈丁。

在马特·格泽尔齐克和阿尔乔姆·列夫舒诺夫受伤后，他在上赛季获得了相当多的NHL出场时间，在19场比赛中记录了1次助攻、22次封堵和5次抢断。教练杰夫·布拉希尔多次称赞德尔·马斯特罗。

“他打球时不害怕犯错——我肯定很喜欢这一点，”布拉希尔在3月31日表示，“（你想要的是）那些为了赢球而全力以赴的球员。”

在过去三个赛季的部分时间里，德尔·马斯特罗在45场NHL比赛中贡献了2个进球和5次助攻。与此同时，他在AHL的罗克福德冰猪队（Rockford IceHogs）出战161场比赛，获得64分（9个进球，55次助攻）。

黑鹰队在休赛期引入了后卫鲍文·拜拉姆和伊恩·科尔，并与科钦斯基续约，此外亚历克斯·弗拉西奇、怀亚特·凯泽、萨姆·林泽尔和列夫舒诺夫也将回归。

如果德尔·马斯特罗在训练营结束后未能进入NHL大名单，他将被放入豁免名单，并在通过豁免后返回罗克福德。

CUBS

3 名冲刺阶段需要提升表现的救援投手

国家联盟激烈的外卡竞争，让芝加哥小熊队围绕错失机会的种种假设地成为了讨论焦点。

周二晚上对阵亚特兰大勇士队的比赛中，小熊队在进入第六局时还领先三分，但由于被击出三支两分本垒打，最终以 6-3 落败，浪费了领先优势。他们全场仅击出五次安打，且在第四局之后未能将跑者送至得分圈。在最后五个局中，他们仅有 1 次上垒（一次单打）。

“在一年中的这个时间点，所有事情显然都被放大了，压力很大，”先发投手Kevin Gausman说道。他在 $5 \frac{1}{2}$ 局的投球中仅失两分，均发生在第六局被Ronald Acuña Jr.击出的两分本垒打。

“你不能忘记是什么让你走到今天这一步。虽然我加入这支球队时间不算长，但这支球队氛围非常轻松，所以我们要保持这种心态，不要让这些至关重要的比赛产生过大的心理负担。你必须找到一种方法，在进入比赛时依然能享受其中。……找到一种方法，不让压力击垮你。”

尽管进攻端受到了先发投手Martín Pérez和勇士队牛棚的限制，但小熊队从救援投手那里获得的支持还不够。

“我们必须让球员们投出好球，并且我们需要……多个可以信赖的球员，”经理Craig Counsell表示。“如果我们做不到这一点，我们将无法生存。”

在周三晚上里格利球场的系列赛收官战之后，小熊队还剩下九场常规赛来决定他们的季后赛前景。如果他们想要保住外卡首位，需要以下这 3 名球员提升表现。

1. 右投 DANIEL PALENCIA

这个赛季的情况并非Palencia和小熊队所预期的那样。

两次受伤——其中最严重的是导致他缺阵两个月的屈肌拉伤——使得这位右投在去年取得 2.91 ERA 和 22 次救援成功后，本赛季仅出场 29 场，投球 25 $^{1 / 3}$ 局。小熊队需要这位 26 岁的球员集中注意力，尽可能恢复到Counsell在 2025 年季后赛关键时刻将其作为“救火队员”使用时的状态。

或许周二的比赛标志着向正确方向迈出的又一小步。

Palencia在第六局接手时，跑者在一垒，小熊队领先 1 分。他退掉了面对的唯一一名击球手，仅用 2 个球就让Mauricio Dubón击出飞球出局。

这是Palencia连续第五场比赛没有失分，但仍存在一些潜在的担忧。最明显的是，即使在最近的成功表现中，他也没有制造出太多的挥空击球。在最近五场比赛中，他在 68 次投球中仅记录了 6 次挥空。

他的球速也持续下降，周二投出的两次速球最高时速为 98.3 mph。上赛季该球种的平均时速为 99.6 mph，且能达到三位数。在赛季的这个阶段，这可能就是Palencia目前的真实状态，但小熊队必须希望他的信心和球速能够继续提升。

2. 右投手 雅各布·韦伯 (JACOB WEBB)

在连续两个月的时间里，韦伯几乎是不可撼动的。

韦伯带着 24 场零失分的势头进入了 8 月下旬小熊队的西海岸之旅，但自那时起，他经历了一系列噩梦般的表现。周二，他再次被击出了一支反超比分的本垒打——奥齐·阿尔比斯（Ozzie Albies）击中了一记变速球，两分入账，使勇士队在第七局以 4-3 领先。

从 8 月 22, 日零失分纪录结束后的 8 场出场中，韦伯在其中 5 场比赛中失分，包括被击出 4 支本垒打——而这 4 支本垒打全部导致小熊队失去了领先优势。

“我回顾时关注的是该局开局时的那次保送，”考塞尔（Counsell）说道，“那是一个四球保送，这不符合（韦伯）的习惯，而正是这一点让你陷入麻烦，并让那支本垒打变得更加痛心。”

当小熊队在休赛期签下韦伯时，他被定位为第六和第七局的投球力量。伤病迫使他在 6 月承担了更大的角色，而这位老将随后迎来了一段火热的时期——从 6 月 24 日到 8 月 21 日，在 24 $^{3 / 4}$ 局中仅失 0 分且仅被击出 13 支安打——这有助于稳定伤兵满营的投手阵容。作为牛棚中经验最丰富的高压力右投手，球队需要他在常规赛的最后几天里找回部分那种稳定性。

这在一定程度上取决于执行力。韦伯今年开始投掷用来替代横扫球（sweeper）的滑球，虽然使用频率不高（8.8%，几乎全部针对右打者），但已被对方利用。周二他主要依赖变速球和四缝线快速球；本赛季他的变速球已被击出 4 支本垒打。

3. 右投手 爱德华多·卡布雷拉 (EDWARD CABRERA)

自 2023 年以来，卡布雷拉还没有在牛棚出场参加过大联盟比赛，直到周二第七局两出局时被召集上场。而且，之前那两次救火经验也是他在从伤病中恢复期间，为迈阿密马林鱼队投掷的 4 局以上的长局数出场。

卡布雷拉周二的所有五种球速都有所提升，包括他的快速球，最高时速达到 99.8 英里，平均时速 98.4, 英里，而他在今年 15 次先发中的平均时速为 96.2 英里。

“能再次回到场上对我来说很令人兴奋，”卡布雷拉通过翻译说道。

在他上场时，平分跑者位于二垒，卡布雷拉在面对阿库尼亚（Acuña）时从 3-0 的不利计数中恢复过来，最终迫使对方击出结束该局的滚地球。考塞尔让他继续投完第八和第九局，卡布雷拉经历了高光时刻（三个三振）和低谷——其中最糟糕的是德雷克·鲍德温（Drake Baldwin）击出的一支两分本垒打，那是由于一个位置不佳的 0-2 快速球造成的。这使得小熊队从落后一分变成了 6-3 落后于勇士队。

“是的，在当时那种情况下，你绝对能感受到更多的（压力），”卡布雷拉说，“他们当时只领先一分，所以每当你处于那种境地，这些失误会被放大。”

这支长打是小熊队今年被击出的第 227 支本垒打，位居 MLB 之首。考塞尔认为卡布雷拉除此之外的表现不错。

“本垒打会改变比赛，”考塞尔说，“我们丢了太多本垒打，这一点毫无疑问。其中一部分与天气有关，但今晚则不然。”

随着韦伯再次失准，帕伦西亚（Palencia）仍在努力找回昔日状态，而瑞安·泽弗詹（Ryan Zeferjahn）则展现出了小熊队通过交易获得他时所期待的高潜力，小熊队需要卡布雷拉在救火角色中稳定下来，为球队提供一个可靠的强力右投手选项。

守护者队 7，白袜队 6：周二晚间白袜队距离胜利仅差 1 个好球，却在美联中区竞争加剧之际落败

作者：LaMond Pope 芝加哥论坛报

克利夫兰 —— 在捡起那颗刚好超出其飞身扑救范围的棒球后，白袜队左外野手萨姆·安东纳奇（Sam Antonacci）站在了警告线附近。

纳撒尼尔·洛（Nathaniel Lowe）开始投第九局。他三振了安赫尔·格纳奥（Angel Genao），但随后保送了帕特里克·贝利（Patrick Bailey）。

随后，白袜队的球员们在烟花绽放、克利夫兰守护者队在 outfield 庆祝之时，缓慢而沉重地走回休息区。

随着布赖恩·罗基奥（Brayan Rocchio）在第九局击出的一记再见两分二垒安打，美联中区冠军的争夺战变得更加激烈。在进步球场（Progressive Field）23,514 名观众的见证下，守护者队以 7-6 获胜。

对于白袜队来说，这无疑是一次沉重的打击，他们原本距离扩大分区领先优势仅差一个好球。然而，进入周三的系列赛收官战时，领先优势仅剩半场。

“距离击败一个在关键比赛中很难对付的对手仅差一个好球，”主教练威尔·维纳布尔（Will Venable）说道，“就是没能成功。”

左右开弓的罗基奥在面对右投手格兰特·泰勒（Grant Taylor）时选择左打，他击中了一颗时速 100.9 英里、超出好球区的快速下沉球，将其击向左外野。

安东纳奇在描述最后一次接球的跑位（先向前再向后）时说，坦白讲这跑位“太糟糕了”。

“必须改进，”安东纳奇说，“这是大联盟，在那个位置不能那样跑位。”

维纳布尔在谈到最后一次接球时表示：“我认为他的位置不错，那是一个很难接的球。这不是萨米的责任，那球很难接。只是没能接住。就是那种情况，球向他的右后方飞去。萨米为了接这些球已经尽了最大努力。”

“这显然是一个关键球，但并不是我们输掉比赛的原因。萨米是一个在场上为我们做对所有事情的人，我们很喜欢他在场上。只是这次没成功。”

周二对白袜队来说充满了起伏，而最终是低谷 —— 他们在最近 16 场比赛中输掉了 11 场。

白袜队在第一局就以 3-0 落后，但凭借第六局的四分反击，一度以 6-4 领先。进入第九局时，他们以 6-5 领先。

在投第二个回合的泰勒被击出一记单打给——

“当我们讨论如何击败这些球员时，关键在于限制保送，”维纳布尔在被问及保送时说道，“显然这让我们陷入了困境。格兰特一直以来都能为我们稳定地投在好球区。你让他连续投 2 个回合。”

“贝利能忍住不击一些球，这值得称赞。这就是比赛的一部分。那个结果伤害了我们，但与此同时，罗基奥在 0-2 的不利局面下处于一个不错的位置，我们就是没能成功。”

在罗基奥上场之前，皮蒂·哈尔平（Petey Halpin）在击球至一垒出局的同时，将跑者推进到了二、三垒。随后轮到罗基奥上场，他曾在 7 月 2 日击出过一记针对泰勒的再见两分本垒打。

泰勒在周二的这次对决中，先是用一颗曲球和一颗滑球投出好球。

“我们观察过罗基奥，甚至听他说过，他在面对格兰特时会全力攻击快球，”维纳布尔说，“用几颗变化球让他陷入 0-2。试图在好球区上方偷偷投一颗快球。他是个非常优秀的击球手，击中了球，我们看到了结果。”

罗基奥凭借那颗下沉球击出了致胜安打。安东纳奇在球后追赶，但球继续向外侧切去。他飞身扑救，但未能接住。

“我当时在那个位置附近，球沿着左外野线飞，向我这边飞，而且稍微偏后，”安东纳奇说，“是的，必须接住它。”

当被问及最后一次对决的选球时，捕手凯尔·蒂尔（Kyle Teel）表示：“他已经有两个好球了，选球是正确的。格兰特投出了 101 英里，事实就是这样。”

“我喜欢这个选球。我认为格兰特把它投在了一个稳妥的位置。如果我们让他旋转并连续投三个，他可能也能击中那一个。事实就是这样。”

这是白袜队本赛季第八次被对方击出再见安打。

“我们打了一场非常精彩的比赛，”维纳布尔说道，“克利夫兰队尽了全力，值得称赞。这些家伙永远不会停止战斗。我们之前也和他们打过这种胶着的比赛，只不过这一次结果对我们不利。”

白袜队（续接C1页）

“保送的情况也是一样，就是试图控制得太精细了。”

尽管三场比赛输了两场，但白袜队（77胜75负）在赛季系列赛中以7-6领先，因此如果两队在常规赛结束时战绩持平，白袜队将拥有对守护者队（78胜75负）的胜负关系优势。但若想追求自2021年以来的首个分区冠军，他们仍有大量工作要做。

“现在每个人都知道每场比赛的价值，”指定击球手汤米·法姆说道。

白袜队在周三早早落后，守护者队利用一次失误在第三局得分两次。

蔡斯·梅德罗斯接住了史蒂文·宽击向二垒的滚地球，但在试图触杀哈尔平（Halpin）时未能稳住球。球滚向中外野，哈尔平利用这次失误推进到三垒。

哈尔平留在三垒，宽在一次滚地球出局中推进到二垒。

在两个出局的情况下，乔·阿德尔击出了一记直线球，刚好超出游击手路易斯安赫尔·阿库尼亚的触及范围，形成一次安打。这次击球让两分入账，使主队取得2-0的领先。

白袜队试图在第四局做出回应。在两人在垒且两个出局的情况下，科尔森·蒙哥马利被球击中。这使得垒上满员，随后阿库尼亚击出滚地球，在二垒造成强制出局，结束了该局。蒙哥马利随后因左手腕挫伤离开比赛。X光检查结果为阴性，这名内野手目前处于每日观察状态。

白袜队在第五局把握住了另一个机会。周三早些时候刚从伤病名单中恢复的法姆在两人在垒且两个出局时上场。他利用对方的第一球曲球击出本垒打，使白袜队以3-2领先。

“感觉很棒，当时让我们取得了领先，”法姆说，“而且从球队角度来看，我们一直深受得分圈有人的困扰。所以这次能够完成击球，算是帮球队卸下了心理负担。但结果我们还是输了，伙计，所以这没什么意义。”

白袜队先发投手安东尼·凯投了四局——允许两分入账（零分为自责分），被击两安，三次三振，两次保送——随后由史密斯接替。这位左投手在第五局没有失分。在第六局，他在一个出局时保送了大卫·弗莱，在两个出局时保送了奥斯汀·海吉斯。

“决定让哈根重新上场，是因为他一直表现得非常好，这确实是一个有争议的决定，因为我们对他要求很高，而他之前确实表现得太出色了，”维纳布尔说，“回顾过去一周，他一直是投两局、休息一天，投两局、休息一天，投两局，这确实是一个非常大的要求。”

“我们知道给这支球队机会的方式是通过失误和保送创造额外机会，而这次我们就被这给坑了。”

白袜队换上了纽康姆，他在面对哈尔平时陷入了3-1的不利球数。他投了一记伸卡球，哈尔平立刻意识到球路正中，将其击向右中外野墙外，击出了一记反超比分的三分本垒打。

“那不是我想投的位置，”纽康姆说，“我想用伸卡球让对方击出软弱的地面球。但那球投到了正中间。”

随后在该局中，拉米雷斯击出了一记带分二垒安打，将领先优势扩大到6-3。

白袜队在第八局将能扳平比分的跑者送到了击球区，但萨姆·安东纳奇击出直线球被中外野手接住，结束了该局。他们在得分圈有人的情况下，击球结果为8次尝试中仅1次成功。

“在让球员上垒方面做得非常好，只是没能把这些机会串联起来，从而让更多球员得分，”维纳布尔说道。

凯德·史密斯在第九局中三次面对击球者两次三振，导致白袜队在最近 17 场比赛中遭遇第 12 场失利。

“这是一个艰难的系列赛，这样描述很恰当，”维纳布尔说。“显然，结果并非我们想要的。但我为球员们感到自豪。我认为我们处于一个不错的状态。”

“之前有一段时间我们打得不好。但在过去的四五场比赛中，我们打得很好。虽然结果不尽如人意，但我认为我们在前进的道路上处于一个不错的状态，而且一些非常积极的事情正在发生。”

接下来的比赛是在 Rate Field 对阵底特律老虎队的四场系列赛。

“必须继续前进，不断进步，”凯说道。“不能太担心过去，只需打好下一场。”

今日投手

■ 运动者队：一名在两个多月前因外野碰撞而瘫痪的运动者队小联盟新秀瑞安·拉斯科（Ryan Lasko）已从住院康复医院出院，将继续在家中进行恢复。这名 24 岁的球员拉斯科于周三出院，距离他抵达位于家乡新泽西州的凯斯勒康复研究所（Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation）正好两个月；该研究所距离他就读的罗格斯大学以及 2023 年被运动者队选为第二轮秀的地方约 35 英里。当他走出大楼主入口时，该机构的工作人员以一场“鼓掌送行”的告别仪式庆祝他的离开。拉斯科在 6 月 30 日与一名队友碰撞中遭受脊髓损伤，导致胸部以下瘫痪，双臂也受到了影响。他的惯用右臂——用于投球和击球的那只手臂——较为虚弱，需要更多时间来增强力量。他的腿部和脚部已开始恢复一些感觉和刺痛感。他本周告诉美联社，他无法预测明年会如何发展。目前，他专注于当下，并“重新调整我的大脑，让自己学会等待，我现在能做的没有其他事情，只能等待”。回家是一个重要的里程碑。他说，尽管面临额外的挑战，他仍很期待家常菜，并期待与女友艾莉·格拉夫（Alli Graff）执行休赛期的旅行计划。“我有点停止尝试展望那么远了，因为他们一直告诉我这只是两个月，现在仍然只是开始，但感觉已经过了很久，”拉斯科告诉美联社。“时间过得很快，但这也是我人生中最漫长的两个月。他们一直告诉我这只是开始，所以我也在努力学习耐心，因为我原以为这会一夜之间发生，但事实绝非如此。不过我正在学习，慢慢来，所有事情都是一个非常缓慢的过程，”拉斯科在一次惊险时刻导致颈部 C6 和 C7 椎骨骨折 ■ 酿酒师队：一支拥有全棒球界最佳战绩球队中的全棒球界最佳投手，并不确定酿酒师队究竟是如何做到这一点的。当被问及一支在棒球中产阶级边缘徘徊的球队如何将香槟庆祝变成九月的惯例时，雅各布·米西奥罗夫斯基（Jacob Misiorowski）耸了耸肩。“我没法告诉你，”这位 24 岁的王牌投手说。“你知道，我一整年都在试图弄清楚这一点。”这次探索将持续到十月。酿酒师队（截至周二战绩为 94-57）在周二晚上赢得了他们连续第四个国联中区冠军，当时他们凭借其火球星以及角色球员路易斯·拉拉（Luis Lara）和乔伊·奥尔蒂斯（Joey Ortiz）的几次及时击球，在客场以 5-1 击败海盗队。当勇士队在约 30 分钟后反超古巴队时，一阵欢呼声穿透了 PNC 球场客队休息室外的混凝土砌块墙。香槟瓶被开启，雪茄被点燃，啤酒——当然是米勒轻啤（Miller Lites）——被痛饮。这段旅程永远不会让人厌倦，即使是对克里斯蒂安·耶利奇（Christian Yelich）来说也是如此，他在酿酒师队九年内八次进入季后赛的进程中一直是核心人物。“我们是一支优秀的球队，”这位三届全明星球员及 2018 年国联 MVP 说道。

■ 洋基队：由于右小腿肌肉紧绷，三届美联 MVP 亚伦·贾奇在周三洋基队 5-4 加时负于主场双城队的比赛中，于第六局被替换下场由代打接替。34 岁的贾奇在因肋骨骨折长期缺阵并于上周回归后的七场比赛中，26 次机会 4 次命中，有 13 次三振和一次长打。——美联社

综合快讯

在他和双 A 米德兰队的队友德文·泰勒在德克萨斯州弗里斯科的一场比赛中，两人在试图争抢一个落入空档的球时相撞。拉斯科被担架抬离球场，并被送往附近医院立即进行脊髓减压和稳定手术。他的医生以及物理治疗师和职业治疗师对他目前的进展感到鼓舞，并乐观地认为他能够完全康复，并能及时重新行走。

历史上的今天：9月17日

1912年：布鲁克林的凯西·斯滕格尔在对阵匹兹堡海盗队的比赛中完成了大联盟首秀，在 7-3 的胜利中贡献了四次单次命中、两次打点和两次盗垒。 1920年：底特律老虎队的鲍比·维奇在纳文球场对阵波士顿红袜队的 14-13 十二局胜利中完成了循环击球（hit for the cycle）。维奇共获得六次命中，并在第九局通过一次二垒安打完成了循环击球。

1930年：克利夫兰的厄尔·艾弗里尔在双赛首场比赛中通过连续三支本垒打打入八分，带领印第安人队以 13-7 战胜华盛顿参议员队。艾弗里尔在晚场比赛中又击出一支本垒打，以双赛 11 次打点创下美联纪录。

1941年：斯坦·穆齐尔完成大联盟首秀。

1947年：杰基·罗宾逊被《体育新闻》评为年度最佳新秀。 1968年：旧金山巨人的盖洛德·佩里投出了一场无安打比赛，以 1-0 战胜圣路易斯红雀队和鲍勃·吉布森。罗恩·亨特击出本场唯一得分的本垒打。 1984年：雷吉·杰克逊成为第 13 位击出 500 支本垒打的球员。这记里程碑式的本垒打来自堪萨斯城投手巴德·布莱克。他的这支本垒打恰好发生在职业生涯首次命中 17 年之后。

1984年：纽约大都会队的新秀投手德怀特·古登在 2-1 负于费城的比赛中让 16 名费城人球员三振。五天前，古登让 16 名匹兹堡海盗球员三振，追平了大联盟连续两场比赛 32 次三振的纪录。

1988年：随着明尼苏达双城队 3-1 击败芝加哥白袜队，杰夫·里尔顿成为首位在两个联盟均获得 40 次救援成功的投手。里尔顿曾在 1985 年为蒙特利尔博览队完成 42 次救援，他在本次比赛的第九局投球，在 47 次机会中获得了他的第 40 次救援成功。

1996年：野茂英雄在对阵科罗拉多落基山的比赛中投出无安打比赛，带领洛杉矶道奇队以 9-0 获胜。野茂让四名击球手保送，并让八人三振。

旨在改革的大学体育法案通过关键门槛

华盛顿 —— 一项旨在解决大学体育领域一些最严重问题（包括失控的支出、不断的诉讼以及混乱的转会门户）的法案在周二通过了一项重大门槛。参议院以 74-24 的投票结果决定停止辩论，使该措施向最终的赞成或反对投票又迈进了一步。

这项名为《保护大学体育法案》（Protect College Sports Act）的法案由参议员、德克萨斯州共和党人 Ted Cruz 共同发起，他称其为“旨在为混乱带来秩序的跨党派解决方案”。该法案轻松地超过了停止阻挠议事（filibuster）所需的 60 票门槛。

共同发起人、华盛顿州民主党参议员 Maria Cantwell 表示，此次投票结果的压倒性优势让她“谨慎乐观”地认为该法案能够通过众议院，而众议院此前曾多次未能通过另一个版本的大学体育法案。

然而，依然存在着一个持久的反对阵营。

“这项法案的核心是在保护一个剥削体系，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员 Chris Murphy 表示。

值得注意的是，参议院中所有四位黑人民主党议员均对该法案投了反对票，全美有色人种协进会（NAACP）也强烈反对该法案。

此次投票发生在一周前大学足球最新危机之后 —— 原定于东南部联盟（Southeastern Conference）举行的一场校长会议，旨在将路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）除名，原因是该校此前计划将参加过 NFL 训练营的球员列入名单（该计划现已取消）。

最终理智占据了上风。引发这场混乱的资格诉讼正是该法案旨在禁止的那类诉讼。

“对于一些看到这件事并感叹‘我的天，这太失控了’的人来说，这可能就像一盏巨大的警示灯，”Cantwell 在接受美联社采访时表示，“你可以看到情况变得多么不可收拾。”

Cantwell 和 Cruz 在 5 月下旬提出了该法案，如果没有东南部联盟和 Big Ten 联盟的支持，该法案几乎夭折。通过妥协，他们成功争取到了这两个联盟的支持，随后问题变成了如何让该法案在繁忙的参议院议程中提交表决。

在投票进行前后，Cantwell 发布了一份报告，概述了自从姓名-形象-似像（NIL）支付开始以来，大学体育领域陷入的“支出螺旋”。

该法案还获得了一长串体育领袖的支持，包括退役足球教练 Nick Saban、科罗拉多大学的 Deion Sanders，以及阿肯色大学的篮球教练 John Calipari 和冈萨加大学的 Mark Few。

“我认为这解决了我们大约 75-80% 的问题，”Calipari 在周一（投票前夕）于华盛顿举行的新闻发布会上表示，“没有什么方案是完美的。这相当于在苹果上咬了一口。”

尽管局势动荡，F1下赛季仍将在巴林开赛

新闻服务

尽管今年中东赛事的确定性仍然不足，但一级方程式赛车（F1）计划在巴林开启2027赛季。

F1于周三公布了2027年的24场比赛赛程，首站将于3月14日举行巴林大奖赛，一周后在沙特阿拉伯举行，年底还计划在卡塔尔和阿布扎比举行赛事。这些国家都签署了长期合同来举办F1赛事，巴林还负责在2月份举行季前测试。

由于伊朗战争，今年在巴林和沙特阿拉伯的比赛已被取消。下个月在马来西亚增加的一场比赛将冠以巴林大奖赛的品牌。

11月29日的卡塔尔大奖赛和12月6日的赛季收官战阿布扎比大奖赛仍留在赛程中。F1曾考虑过如果无法进行则将其移至欧洲，但两场比赛的门票仍在销售。

近年来，巴林开启了大多数F1赛季，仅在2025年和2026年因为穆斯林圣月（斋月）而移出了首站位置。

明年的赛程避开了另外两项赛车盛事的时间冲突，分别是5月30日的印第安纳波利斯500英里赛和6月12-13日的勒芒24小时耐力赛。

F1今年的两场比赛均与上述赛事在同一天举行。四届F1冠军马克斯·维斯塔潘曾表示，他希望未来能参加勒芒赛。

NFL：上届超级碗冠军西雅图海鹰队宣布，四分卫萨姆·达诺德因在周三赛季揭幕战获胜时遭受的臀部受伤，将缺席周日对阵亚利桑那红雀队的比赛。球队在周一将其描述为一种“非常独特的软组织”损伤。目前没有将达诺德列入伤病预备名单的计划。德鲁·洛克在周三替代达诺德出战，带领海鹰队以13-10战胜新英格兰爱国者队，在达诺德缺阵的情况下，他有望迎来自2024年以来的首次首发……明尼苏达维京人队跑卫乔丹·梅森在接受修复拇指骨折的手术后，将至少缺席接下来的四周。

网球：WTA年终总决赛将于2027-2029年在美国北卡罗来纳州夏洛特举行，组织者希望此举能打造出“女性体育的超级碗”。这项女子网球顶尖的赛季收官赛事将在NBA黄蜂队的主场Spectrum Center举行。年度单打和双打排名前八的球员和组合将获得参赛资格。该赛事通常在11月举行。WTA在7月宣布，决定放弃与沙特阿拉伯三年主办协议的最后一年，将今年的赛事移至加利福尼亚州的印第安之泉。由于中东冲突，人们对返回沙特阿拉伯持有顾虑。现世界第一埃琳娜·里巴金娜赢得了去年的总决赛。

什么样的进攻在历史上才算优秀？

教练约翰逊追求的一些数据

作者：Sean Hammond 芝加哥论坛报

芝加哥熊队目前战绩为 1-0，但四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯在第 2 周将面临截然不同的挑战。明尼苏达维京人的防守协调员布赖恩·弗洛雷斯始终是一个谜。

根据 NFL Pro 的数据，维京人在第一周的 32 个防守端中排名第二，四分卫压力率为 50%。维京人在赛季揭幕战击败格林贝包装工队的比赛中完成了四次擒杀。在那场比赛中，他们的闪击率高达 78.3%，令人咋舌。上赛季，维京人以 46.1% 的闪击率领跑 NFL。

威廉姆斯职业生涯对阵维京人的战绩为 1-3。熊队去年获胜的那场比赛同样打得十分艰难。他们在美国银行体育场仅攻入一个达阵，并凭借开罗·桑托斯在最后一秒的射门才赢得比赛。

对熊队有利的是，威廉姆斯在周日对阵黑豹队的比赛中刚刚面对了 51.3% 的闪击率，而他面对闪击时的四分卫评分最终达到了 137.5。威廉姆斯在面对闪击时 14 次传球成功 9 次，传球码数 142 码，并有两次达阵传球。

然而，弗洛雷斯防守的特点在于他将闪击者伪装得非常好。在任何一次进攻回合中，都很难预测谁在进行闪击。如果熊队教练本·约翰逊想要打造一支史上得分最高的球队，他的进攻端必须能够在面对强悍防守时得分。而他们在周日将面对这样一个强敌。

以下是本周其他值得关注的统计数据、数字和指标。

历史级进攻是什么样的？

如果约翰逊想要追赶 2013 年的丹佛野马队，那么一场 59 分的揭幕战会有所帮助。那支野马队以 606 分（场均 37.9 分）创下了最高纪录。在此之前，2007 年的新英格兰爱国者队持有该纪录，得分为 589 分（场均 36.8 分）。

排在前五名的还包括 2018 年的堪萨斯城酋长队（565 分，场均 35.3 分）、约翰逊执教的 2024 年底特律狮子队（564 分，场均 33.2 分）以及 2011 年的绿湾包装工队（560 分，场均 35 分）。2024 年的狮子队是该组中唯一一支受益于常规赛增加到第 17 场比赛的球队。

在对阵黑豹队砍下 59 分后，熊队需要在最后 16 场比赛中场均得到 34.3 分，才能以 607 分创下新的最高纪录。

“这将永远是我们的目标，”约翰逊在第一周获胜后表示。“我们想要成为得分最高的球队，我们想要获得最多的胜利，我们想要赢得超级碗。这就是我们的追求。我们进入这个行业不是为了追求平庸或平均水平。”

那么，是什么造就了历史级的进攻？回顾这些得分最高的进攻球队（全部发生在相对近期的 2007 年之后），这五支球队在 NFL 的场均传球码数中全部排名前三。所有五支球队在每次传球尝试的码数方面均排名第一或第二。五支球队中有四支拥有 MVP 级别的四分卫，2024 年的狮子队是唯一的例外。

这五支球队中有四支拥有两名 1,000 码接球手（对于特拉维斯·凯尔塞来说是一名近端锋）。2011 年，包装工队的接球手格雷格·詹宁斯距离与队友乔迪·尼尔森一起突破 1,000 码大关仅差 51 码。熊队自 2013 年阿尔肖恩·杰弗里和布兰登·马歇尔达成此成就以来，再未出现过两名 1,000 码接球手。熊队历史上唯一另一次出现这种情况是在 1995 年，当时柯蒂斯·康威和杰夫·格雷厄姆均达到了 1,000 码。

在这五支球队中，只有约翰逊的 2024 年狮子队在场均冲球码数中排名前 10。他们是这五支顶尖进攻球队中平衡性最好的，冲球排名第六。2018 年的酋长队、2013 年的野马队和 2007 年的爱国者队在场均冲球码数方面仅处于平均水平，而 2011 年的包装工队则表现糟糕，排名第 27 位。事实上，在历史上得分最高的前 11 支进攻球队中，没有一支在其各自的赛季中领跑 NFL 的冲球码数。

然而，最值得注意的或许是，这五支球队没有一支赢得超级碗。事实上，在历史上得分最高的 25 支进攻球队中，只有三支赢得了冠军。它们分别是 1999 年的圣路易斯公羊队（历史得分排名第 15）、AFL 中的 1961 年休斯顿油人队（排名第 23）以及 2009 年的圣徒队（排名第 25）。

奔向 4,000 码的旅程

威廉姆斯在第一周传球 269 码并贡献了两个达阵。他还需要 3,731 码才能成为首位传球达到 4,000 码的熊队四分卫，这意味着他在接下来的 16 场比赛中需要场均传球 233.2 码才能实现这一目标。

根据 Next Gen Stats 的数据，威廉姆斯在两次达阵冲球中的时速均超过了 20 英里。他在一次 29 码达阵冲球中的最高时速达到了 20.8 英里。这两次达阵冲球均位列第一周前 10 名最快的持球跑者之列。

奔向 3,000 码之路

熊队在对阵黑豹队的比赛中冲球达到了 291 码。如果熊队想要成为史上最强进攻线，毫无疑问需要在地面进攻中刷出一些亮眼的数据。

根据 Stathead 的数据，在超级碗 era, 只有七支球队在单赛季冲球里程达到 3,000 码。其中包括熊队在 2022, 创下的 3,014 码的队史纪录，当时四分卫贾斯汀·菲尔兹（Justin Fields）在场上纵横驰骋。

在第 1 周的表现之后，熊队在接下来的 16 场比赛中需要场均冲球 169.3 码才能达到 3,000. 码。作为参考，布法罗比尔队上赛季以场均 159.6 码的冲球里程领跑 NFL。

在超级碗时代达到 3,000 码冲球里程的七支球队中，有五支是在 2019. 年之后实现的。2019 年的巴尔的摩乌鸦队在 2019 年的 16 场比赛中冲球 3,296 码，保持着最高纪录。乌鸦队和费城老鹰队在 2024. 年均突破了 3,000 码。2020 年的乌鸦队和 2022 年的熊队是近期实现这一目标的另外两支球队。

值得注意的是，2025 年 NFL 正式将早已解散的全美足球联盟（All-America Football Conference）的统计数据纳入其中，该联盟于 1949, 年解散，这与 AFL-NFL 合并后纳入以往 AFL 统计数据的方式类似。从技术上讲，NFL 现在承认来自 AAFC 的 1948 年旧金山 49 人队为史上冲球里程最高的球队，该赛季达到了 3,663 码。49 人队是在一个 14 场比赛的赛季中完成的，场均冲球里程高达 261.6 码，令人惊叹。这项纪录可能永远不会被打破。

49 人队、巴尔的摩小马队和克利夫兰布朗队于 1950. 年从 AAFC 加入 NFL。比尔队的第一个版本也始于 AAFC，但于 1949 年解散。

超出预期

根据 Next Gen Stats 的数据，熊队在第 1 周拥有三项排名前七的最惊人冲球。根据球员接球时的场上位置，凯尔·莫南盖（Kyle Monangai）在那个最终成为 61 码达阵冲球的进攻回合中，预期冲球距离仅为 6 码。

所有队员出色的掩护使这次进攻成为可能。

“我想他实际上冲过了相当多像‘垃圾’一样的障碍，”熊队接球手贾戴·沃克（Jahdae Walker）说道，他在进攻结束时帮助干扰了追击莫南盖的防守队员。“（卡利夫·雷蒙德）的一次掩护非常出色，卢瑟（伯登三世）的一次掩护也非常出色，而我只是最后留下的那个小帮手。”

此外，丹德雷·斯威夫特（D'Andre Swift）的 32 码和 28 码冲球也位列 Next Gen Stats 第 1 周最惊人冲球的前七名。在 32 码的冲球中，斯威夫特通过一个旋转动作摆脱了试图擒抱他的球员，将熊队带入了红区。Next Gen Stats 的模型显示，斯威夫特的预期推进距离仅为 6 码。

斯威夫特在第 1 周的冲球 EPA（预期得分增加值）排名第二，仅次于堪萨斯城酋长队的肯尼斯·沃克三世（Kenneth Walker III）。斯威夫特在周三被评为国家美式足球联盟（NFC）本周最佳进攻球员。

上赛季出现频率更高。

“他明白我们试图完成的目标，”教练说道。

乍一看，分析数据表明威廉姆斯在每次传球时仍然花费大量时间。他的“出手时间”为 3.16 秒，在符合条件的球员中排名第五长。

但这些数字通常是有偏差的。他与那些利用腿部在口袋区争取时间的同样擅长乱跑的球员在一起，例如杰登·丹尼尔斯、拉马尔·杰克逊和艾伦，他们也排在前六名。

本·约翰逊表示，今年的不同之处在于威廉姆斯大脑中的思考方式。

“就我而言，他问了正确的问题，”他说道。“在比赛日，你永远无法确切知道结果会如何。但我认为他打得非常有信心，当你这样做时，你就能很好地观察球场。”

“他一直如此，但比赛在某种程度上慢了下来，他能够比过去更快地找到正确的接球人。因此，希望这种成长能够持续。”

2. 丹德雷·斯威夫特获得周最佳球员荣誉。

在 Week 1 攻入三个达阵后，这位熊队跑卫被评为 NFC 进攻球员周最佳。斯威夫特在 18 次携带球的情况下跑出 124 码并获得三个得分，同时接住 1 次传球获得 10 码。

他成为了自 2016 年乔丹·霍华德以来，首位赢得该周奖项的熊队跑卫。

斯威夫特成为了自 2010 年马特·福特以来，首位在 Week 1 赢得进攻球员周最佳奖项的熊队球员。

这是斯威夫特第 2 次获得该奖项，他曾在 2023 年 Week 2 效力于费城老鹰队时赢得过一次。

“对我个人而言，我要感谢进攻线和接球手，”斯威夫特说。“没有他们是不可能的。对我来说，这真正是一项团队奖项。”

在 Week 1，熊队以 291 码冲球码数领先所有 NFL 球队。在 Week 1 符合条件的持球者中，斯威夫特的预期得分增加值（类似于棒球中的 WAR）为 +8，仅次于堪萨斯城酋长队的肯尼斯·沃克三世。

上周，斯威夫特签署了一份为期三年、3375 万美元的合同延期，这将使他直到 2029 赛季都处于球队控制之下。

3. 伤病与参与情况

右截锋达内尔·赖特因膝盖受伤缺席了周三的训练。防守截锋格雷迪·贾雷特（休息）和内维尔·加利莫尔（疾病）也被要求休息。

新秀角卫马利克·穆罕默德二世因脚踝受伤而受限。他在周日第二节拦截布赖斯·扬时受伤，但在第三节回到了赛场。

同样受限的还有跑卫斯威夫特（脚踝 / 膝盖）和凯尔·莫南盖（腿后腱）、防守线锋达约·奥德英博（肩膀）、安全卫泽维尔·伍兹（腹股沟）以及进攻线锋奥齐·特拉皮洛（膝盖）。

伍兹和特拉皮洛缺席了对阵黑豹队的揭幕战。

Fed raises key interest rate

'Timelier return' to $2\%$ inflation needed, Warsh says, hiking benchmark for first time since 2023

3.9%

The quarter-point increase lifts the Fed's key rate to about 3.9% in an attempt to curb spending and inflation. Inflation was 3.7% in July compared with a year ago, up from 2.3% in April 2025, just before President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs.

By Christopher Rugaber ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate Wednesday for the first time since 2023 in an effort to quell stubbornly high inflation, a move that spurred a sharp response from the

White House.

The quarter-point increase lifts the Fed's key rate to about $3.9\%$ and, over time, could result in higher borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards. In a set of quarterly projections, the Fed also signaled that its rate-setting committee expects to hike rates a second time later this year to 4.1%.

“Today’s policy action will support a timelier return” to the central bank’s 2% inflation goal, the Fed said in a statement.

The move comes as Americans are already struggling with high costs for groceries, gas and housing. Affordability has taken on a leading role in the upcoming midterm elections.

In a news conference following the Fed's announcement, Fed Chair

Kevin Warsh said that while the job market remains resilient, inflation has stubbornly remained above the Fed 2% target for years.

"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said.

Since taking the lead at the Fed in May, Warsh has said the Fed is committed to taming inflation and that policymakers would take their

At least a dozen waterfowl have died along the downtown lakefront in recent months, prompting advocates and experts to suspect botulism worsened by climate change

IN HOT WATER

By Adriana Pérez CHICAGO TRIBUNE

In the soft shimmer of the water near DuSable Harbor, several Canada geese and a double-crested cormorant foraged among aquatic plants, the former nibbling on the feather-like leaves and the latter diving time and again for fish. By the docks and boats, an American black duck preened itself.

Near the geese, a dead bird floated next to trash and vegetation. It likely fell victim to a lurking danger that has killed at least a dozen waterfowl along the lakefront downtown in recent months, according to county and state officials.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources confirmed that it had received reports of dead

The University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine Diagnostic Laboratory tested one of the birds and shared with Cook County and the state agency on Sept. 11 that the cause of death was not apparent, and that the test results were inconclusive.

Tissues have been frozen for additional testing. According to an IDNR spokesperson on Monday, the results of histopathology — the study of diseased cells and tissues with a microscope — is pending.

Advocates and other experts, however, suspect that the birds succumbed to avian botulism. It is not an uncommon disease among waterfowl, especially

Defense demands Boutros, DC files

'BROADVIEW SIX'

Attorneys plead for answers about DOJ involvement in case

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Lawyers for the “Broadview Six” are urging a federal judge to order the Chicago U.S. attorney’s office to divulge any communications with officials in Washington about the controversial case, saying in a filing late Tuesday that the government’s “hair-splitting” response so far was just one indication of an ongoing cover-up.

In the 61-page filing, the attorneys pointed to allegedly evasive answers from U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office about any involvement of Department of Justice officials when it came to bringing or prosecuting the charges, which collapsed in spectacular fashion in May amid allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.

The filing highlighted a recent email exchange with the “well-respected” prosecutor Boutros appointed to help stave off the controversy, in which she repeatedly deferred to the “front office” in saying they were not aware of any communications “in which it took direction” from anyone higher up the food chain.

"The insertion of the word 'direction' seems intended to provide a clever, subjective escape hatch from the candor and transparency promised by the U.S. attorney and desperately needed to identify and

Board rejects Hawthorne's request to run in '27

By Robert McCoppin CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Illinois Racing Board rejected Hawthorne Race Course's request for racing dates for 2027, deeming its application "deficient."

Despite going bankrupt, closing and selling their property this year, track officials filed a request to conduct racing next year, without publicly specifying where or how they could do so.

At the board's meeting Wednesday, a racing board official said Hawthorne was given a chance to correct its application, but “remained deficient and did not comply with the (state law) act or the rules.”

In bankruptcy court, Hawthorne previously agreed to sell the track for \$90 million to a buyer that The Real Deal identified as Digital Realty, with plans to build a data center on the property. However, the Stickney Village Board put a six-month moratorium on data centers, and officials in neighboring Cicero also expressed opposition, leaving the property's future uncertain.

As a result of the closure and sale, about 500 residents and an almost equal number of horses were required to move out of the track's backstretch by the end of August. Most residents found apartments in the area, while some traveled with many of the horses to

ELECTION 2026 SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT

Candidates lay out competing visions at televised town hall

PERSONAL RECORDS COME UNDER SCRUTINY

By Kate Armanini CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The four candidates for Chicago school board president spent their first televised town hall mapping out competing priorities for Chicago Public Schools, a mostly polite, policy-focused affair that offered few surprises for voters already familiar with the race.

Current board member Jessica Biggs, former Chicago Teachers Union organizer Hilario Dominguez, trial attorney Victor Henderson and former board appointee Sendhil Revuluri are all vying for the top seat of CPS' governing body in the November election.

The town hall, hosted by WTTW and moderated by “Chicago Tonight” anchor Brandis Friedman, gave candidates the chance to weigh in on a broad set of issues facing CPS before a live studio audience. Some attendees posed their own questions to the board hopefuls.

“Me and my peers are impacted by every decision that the school board makes ... Why should I trust that you will act in my best interest and my peers' best interest?" asked Vaughn Webster, a 17-year-old senior at Ogden International High School in West Town.

Dominguez, a former political director for the Chicago Teachers Union, pointed to his own experience as a CPS high school student when he staged a walkout to protest budget cuts. “I expect you all to walk out and protest if you think you have to, and meet me at the door, and hold me accountable,” he said.

Henderson also chimed in. "You can't be a spectator in democracy, you have to be an active participant," he said.

The board president will play a major role in shaping CPS policy, in part by deciding what goes up for vote. Those votes can range from routine contracts to the district's billion-dollar budget — and even school closures. The position is the only seat on the board representing the entire city. Incumbent Sean Harden, who was appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson, is not running for reelection.

On the campaign trail, Biggs has leaned on her community ties as a former CPS principal; Dominguez has echoed the progressive politics of CTU leadership; Henderson has sought to bill himself as an independent outsider; and Revuluri has spoken to his past experience as board vice president.

Biggs is endorsed by SEIU, which represents support staff in CPS, while Dominguez is backed by CTU. Those endorsements carry significant weight because of the resources and bootson-the-ground organizing of the district's two largest labor unions.

Much of the town hall focused on the district's beleaguered finances. Only Dominguez has come out in support of the district's \$10.11 billion budget, which banks on \$150 million in unconfirmed state funding to avert layoffs. CTU-aligned members who voted in favor argued the move is a pressure tactic to force Springfield to act and ease cuts to schools.

But critics — including Biggs, Henderson and Revuluri — argue the move left CPS vulnerable to midyear cuts if the money doesn't materialize. “I’m really proud to have stood against both the amendment and the amended budget because we simply cannot move forward and operate on money that does not exist,” Biggs said.

The town hall grew more pointed when candidates were pressed on their personal histories. Henderson addressed a 2011 divorce filing, first reported by NBC 5 Chicago last month, in which his ex-wife accused him of physically abusing one of their sons. A judge ordered him not to engage in corporal punishment.

"I love my children. I embraced them... And when it was necessary for me to have guardrails because my kids weren't doing the things that they should have done, then I did that with love," Henderson said.

He went on: “Those allegations were probably pulled by somebody on this stage to kind of rip me down and to try to drag me through the mud.”

Revuluri and Dominguez, meanwhile, traded barbs over a state finance complaint filed by Revuluri's campaign. The complaint alleged that Dominguez's most recent campaign finance filings "cannot be accurate" because he had not yet reported any spending or contributions. Dominguez noted that the complaint has since been withdrawn.

"Our campaign has been fully in compliance from the beginning ... Sendhil's camp pulled that complaint and withdrew it, because it was baseless, and it was just a way to garner attention," Dominguez said.

But Revuluri fired back, arguing the complaint was withdrawn only because his campaign learned the Illinois State Board of Elections would not address it until late October.

"Honestly, we have better things to do," Revuluri said. "So, we appreciate that belatedly the campaign and a very experienced political operative decided to comply with rules.”

Dominguez countered that “the desperation is loud.”

Biggs, too, was pressed on her record as a principal at Burke Elementary in Washington Park, where she was abruptly fired in 2018 and placed on the do-not-hire list for allegedly altering attendance data.

She has argued that her termination was politically motivated after she protested changes to her school's custodial contracts.

Her do-not-hire designation was removed last year by an outside counsel after she was elected to the board. "There were allegations around minor, bureaucratic issues, and I have always said that this was unjust," Biggs said.

Perhaps the biggest obstacle candidates will face in November is turning out voters in a down-ballot race. Several of their campaigns have released internal polls, but there's no clear frontrunner. The only consensus is that the vast majority of voters remain undecided.

As he left the studio, retired police officer Josue Ortiz, 63, said he was still split between multiple candidates. "I kind of want to hear more about taxes. That was a question floating around in my family conversations," said the Logan Square resident.

CPS parent Brenda Rivera, whose 16-year-old attends Lincoln Park High School, had picked a candidate prior to the event, but left the building feeling torn. "It's like you learn something, and then you change," she said. "But it's democracy, and parents have to be involved if we want a better future."

FED

cues from the data to determine if inflation was going in the right direction.

"We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective clearly and at sufficient speed. Today the FOMC decided that this standard has not been satisfied," Warsh said, referring to the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee.

The rate hike marks a turnaround for Warsh, who was appointed by President Donald Trump and took over the top job in May.

But the move angered Trump, who quickly lashed out at the Fed in response.

“We are ‘carrying’ almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer,” the president posted on social media, alluding to his past threat to stymie some trade. “LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!”

However, he did not publicly castigate Warsh for the decision to raise rates.

Yet the ongoing oil disruptions from the Iran war, which have pushed up average gas prices more than $7\%$ from just a month ago, threaten to spread through the economy and keep broader inflation stubbornly high. An inflation report last week showed core prices, which exclude food and energy, accelerated a bit in August.

According to the Fed's preferred measure, inflation was $3.7\%$ in July compared with a year ago, up from $2.3\%$ in April 2025, just before Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs.

Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy categories, was $3.3\%$ in July, the latest data available for the preferred measure, up from $3\%$ just before the Iran war and far above the Fed's target.

Earlier Wednesday, the government said retail sales jumped 1.2% in August from the previous month, a sign that consumers are still spending at healthy levels despite sentiment surveys that indicate Americans remain gloomy about the economy.

Strong spending is a sign that interest rates at current levels aren't necessarily restricting the economy and cooling inflation.

“While uncertainty remains elevated owing, in part, to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient,” the Fed said, a likely reference to ongoing consumer spending and strong investment in AI data centers by large technology companies.

Higher inflation isn't all about gas prices. Ongoing investment in AI has driven up prices for computer chips and other electronic gear, adding to overall inflation. Tariffs may still be elevating some costs, such as appliances, which jumped in price last month.

Trump harshly criticized Warsh's predecessor, Jerome Powell, for not cutting rates quickly enough.

His Justice Department even launched a criminal investigation into Powell over brief testimony he delivered to Congress last year, though that probe was eventually dropped.

When asked Wednesday how the president might react to the rate increase, Warsh said, “I’ve got nothing for you on a discussion with the president.”

Kevin Hassett, Trump's top economic adviser, was asked in an interview with Fox News on Sunday how Trump might react to a rate hike.

"I'm sure he's not going to be super happy about it, but he will defend the independence of Kevin Warsh above all," Hassett said.

Warsh might also have a measure of protection from the fact that his father-in-law is Ronald Lauder, a friend of Trump's and a billionaire donor to his campaigns.

In the Fed's economic projections issued along with the rate decision, officials indicated they are likely to raise the key rate once more this year. Analysts doubt that will be at the next meeting in October, just days before the midterm elections.

“Most FOMC members see a total of two hikes this year per the (projections), and it will likely skip October’s meeting given its proximity to the midterm elections,” said Kay Haigh of Goldman Sachs.

For their part, Wall Street investors have forecast three hikes for the Fed, with additional increases in December and March.

By Jake Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Aldermen advanced Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposal to overhaul tenants' rights Wednesday, while opponents prepare to move ahead with their own version.

Split factions in the City Council's Housing Committee traded jabs while debating the controversial legislation aimed at giving renters more power and placing restrictions on landlords, before aldermen voted 12 -9 to send the mayor's package to the full City Council.

But with a final vote scheduled for next week and a competing ordinance set for committee consideration Thursday, the fight between City Hall progressives and Johnson's critics over some of the most consequential legislation considered this year is far from over.

The measure's backers acknowledged their rivals' apprehension throughout the meeting, but argued rising rents and tenant mistreatment are urgent issues that must be addressed.

“People can have a lot of questions, but the reality is that this has worked in other jurisdictions, and we have the blueprint to do it,” said Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez, 33rd. “I hope that we are going to stand with the tenants.”

At question was a new version of Johnson's so-called Protecting Renters Ordinance. The mayor made a key concession earlier this week, dropping a rule that would have forced landlords to cite specific reasons when evicting tenants or not renewing their leases — or pay them as much as \$10,000 in relocation fees.

Johnson's amended measure would still create a new “tenants bill of rights” and ban an array of “junk fees” issued by landlords. It also would create a new Bureau of Rental Housing Services to enforce rental rules, establish a rental registry aimed at identifying hidden landlords with widespread complaints and secure city-funded legal representation for low-income tenants facing eviction.

The policies have polarized aldermen, sparking Johnson opponents to craft their own counterproposal expected to face a Zoning Committee vote Thursday.

The sharp political lines created by the measure could be seen in the committee Wednesday. Aldermen supporting the mayor's measure bunched together in the chamber's second row of plush maroon seats. Their opponents sat one row down as the two sides carried out a debate in which all appeared to have long ago made up their minds.

Some critics of the plan argued it does not do enough to fix key problems, like slum-lords ignoring pre-existing city law. Ald. Pat Dowell, 3rd, slammed it as a “feel-good ordinance.”

“Because it doesn’t really address the issues that we really see out in our communities,” she said.

But supporters highlighted their efforts to meet skeptics in the middle, including by lessening fees on small landlords and abandoning the just-cause

Ald. Jessie Fuentes, 26th, argued the rental registry created by Johnson's measure is particularly needed. Earlier this year, a young boy living with a roach infestation in her Northwest Side ward was hospitalized for two months because the insects laid eggs in his ear, she said.

"We cannot get a hold of the landlord because he's hidden behind multiple LLCs," Fuentes said. "I have tenants that are living with immense mold. Young people with asthma. They pay their rent, and the landlords expect their rent, and yet we have a hard time getting these folks out to ensure that their tenants can live in dignified conditions."

Supporters of Johnson's ordinance have argued only the mayor's registry is strong enough to identify a property's real owners, as opposed to shell companies aimed at hiding who is responsible for a building.

Johnson's policy chief, Jung Yoon, told the committee the legislation would help tenants get faster responses to issues, access legal representation in evictions and finally add clarity as the number of unresponsive shell-company landlords surges. Meanwhile, it would level the playing field for smaller landlords competing with large property owners who cut corners, she argued.

The rental registry fee — ranging from \$40 to \$60 per unit and cheaper for smaller landlords — would generate \$22 million a year to fund the new services, she said.

But Ald. Anthony Beale, 9th, warned the city won't actually get that money, because many property owners will simply not pay.

"It's going to fall back on the taxpayers, and we're going to bloat our budget even further," he said.

Ald. Gilbert Villegas, 36th, told his colleagues they must stop casting those opposed to the mayor's legislation as anti-renter. He repeated his call on Johnson to slow down in his effort to pass the ordinance, even as he planned to move his counterproposal ahead Thursday.

"If we are going to play politics and try to put myself and my colleagues in a position that, if we don't support PRO, that somehow we are against the renters, that's not what this is about," he said. "It should be about making sure that we have a balance."

After the vote, Villegas said he has enough support to pass his own proposal through committee and the full City Council. He said he will move ahead to force the administration to come to the table.

“Then, if the mayor vetoes it, then he vetoes it,” Villegas said.

Jury deliberating fate of customs agent in serial rape trial

By Jason Meisner CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A federal jury has heard a series of women testify over the past week that they thought U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Luis Uribe was “the fake police,” a man posing as law enforcement who was robbing and sexually assaulting Chinese sex workers in Chicago-area hotel rooms.

In closing arguments of Uribe's trial Wednesday, a prosecutor said that, in a way, they were right.

"He kind of was a fake cop," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Shih told the panel. "He wasn't a cop, he was a rapist with a gun. He was a rapist in a police uniform."

Uribe, 45, is on trial at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on a federal indictment charging him with deprivation of rights under color of law, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

In their testimony, the four alleged victims all identified Uribe as the person who assaulted them in a series of attacks in 2022, using his gun and badge to force sex and take their money.

Uribe, however, vehemently denied ever raping or robbing anyone. He took the witness stand in his own defense on Tuesday and tried to flip the script, saying that all of the encounters were consensual and that the women threatened to frame him after he refused to help with immigration issues.

After hearing closing arguments, the jury of six men and six women began deliberated the case for more than three hours Wednesday without reaching a verdict. Their talks will resume Thursday morning.

In his closing remarks to the jury, Uribe's attorney, Michael Clancy, said that, unlike the alleged victims, Uribe “was genuine in his testimony” and “did not lie about who he is.”

Clancy said it's well known that prostitutes are adept at "being able to play a man, being able to fake for a man to do her job," which "goes hand in hand... with not being truthful."

"My argument is, they're pretty good at it. Lying," Clancy said. "They're pretty good at playing a part. They do it for a living."

He said none of the records in the case — including Uribe's DNA being found on hotel bedsheets after one alleged assault, information from Uribe's phone and tollway records showing his movements — corroborates any rape or robbery.

"It corroborates that he's an immoral, horrible police officer who went and used a prostitute," Clancy said. "And that's not what he's charged with."

Ultimately, Clancy told the jury, it came down to who was believable and who had more motivation to lie.

"There's no cameras in these rooms, there's no other witnesses in these rooms," Clancy said. "It's him and the sex worker. That's all."

Clancy also addressed Uribe's comment on the witness stand about getting a "good workout" when he had sex with one of the women, who goes by "Tina." He called it a "horrible answer" that came out of frustration over all the lies being told about him in the courtroom, and that the jury should simply disregard it as irrelevant.

“He had had enough,” Clancy said. “He was frustrated by all the lies. He was frustrated by all the accusations. He was frustrated by the government’s questions of him. ... It’s a frustrated answer, a horrible answer. But it’s nothing you can consider. You can’t consider that he said something so crass.”

In his rebuttal, Shih said the defense theory that the victims were actually part of a “vast secret Chinese conspiracy” to frame Uribe is “100% insane.”

Sex traffickers are interested in money and staying off of law enforcement's radar, he says. They're not going to involve cops in an extortion plot, Shih said.

Shih also asked the jury to compare the testimony of the victims with that of Uribe. The women, he said, were “emotional, they were raw, they were direct” in their testimony. They had the courage to come into the courtroom and face their abuser, Shih said. One wept uncontrollably as she tried to point to Uribe at the defense table. Another grew angry as she pantomimed the sex acts Uribe had forced on her. Uribe, meanwhile, “made jokes” on the witness stand, Shih said.

"He made a rape joke. Actually, he compared the rape of Tina to a workout," Shih said. "I think that is all you need to know about the defendant."

Prosecutors told the jurors in opening statements last week that Uribe, a veteran agent stationed at O'Hare International Airport, "perverted" his duty to serve and protect, going from investigating crimes to committing them.

But Uribe's attorneys have said that while Uribe is a weak and “flawed” man who indeed visited prostitutes, the alleged victims were liars who had sought his help with immigration issues before setting him up.

Uribe's decision to testify in his own defense is a rare roll of the dice in federal court. Under direct questioning he spoke in a rapid-fire manner and seemed rehearsed, telling the jury he was born in Cicero and "raised by two loving parents."

Looking directly at the jury, Uribe said he'd been raised to respect women.

"My mom, she actually had the old birds and bees conversation with me," Uribe said. "You respect women, stop when they say stop, no means no, don't force them.... I never raped anybody in my whole life. I never robbed anybody in my whole life."

But his proclaimed esteem for women seemed shakier on cross-examination, particularly when Shih asked him about one encounter where he left work early purportedly to hit the gym, but went instead to a hotel to meet with Tina.

You never went to the gym, did you? Shih asked.

"I got a good workout in," Uribe responded.

Shih immediately shouted back: "You're describing the rape of Tina as a good work-out?"

“It wasn’t a rape, it was consensual sex,” Uribe said.

Uribe testified he began seeing prostitutes in about 2019. In 2021, he started seeing one of the women, “Lisa,” and had paid sex with her more than 10 times. The first time they were together, his wallet fell out of his pocket and she saw his work ID, revealing he was “immigration police,” he said.

“You could see her face lit up, big old smile,” Uribe testified. “Like she hit the jackpot or something.”

Uribe said Lisa almost immediately began asking him to help her with her “immigration problem,” which included an expired work visa. He said he looked at her paperwork and gave her some information about free legal services, but did not specifically help.

“I told her, ‘Don’t worry, this is Chicago, you’re not gonna get deported,’” he said.

At a March 2022 lunch meeting with Lisa and her friend at a seafood buffet in Hoffman Estates, Uribe said he was offered a bribe by Lisa's boss in China, who joined them in a video chat. In exchange for helping with immigration problems and getting more girls into the U.S., he would be paid \$7,000 "plus free sex," Uribe testified.

Prosecutors alleged the offer was actually free sex if Uribe stopped attacking women. Lisa testified on Monday that while at the meeting, one of her friends snapped a photo of Uribe that was sent around as a warning of the attacks. She also told the jury he never denied participating in the attacks, and that he cashed in on the offer almost immediately after the lunch ended.

“He followed us back to the hotel and he had sex with the other two women,” Lisa testified.

“And did he pay for it?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Rothblatt asked.

“No, it’s free,” Lisa said.

Lawsuit against trans-inclusive D109 policies dismissed

"It reinforces what we already know, which is the plaintiffs here cannot actually state any real harm. This lawsuit is an expression of transphobia, nothing more. Every student in Illinois deserves a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment."

JOSÉ CHE-CHE WILSON, director of Civic Engagement with state advocacy group Equality Illinois

By Joseph States PIONEER PRESS

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Deerfield Public School District 109 filed by a former district parent over its transgender student policies, potentially marking the end of a legal fight that touched on national talking points over gender and inclusion.

Last year, district parent Nicole Georgas accused school officials of forcing her daughter and other students to change their clothes for gym class with a transgender student, a claim the district has denied. Speaking during board meetings and on Fox News show “America Reports,” Georgas demanded locker rooms and bathrooms be designated as biological male and biological female.

The lawsuit, filed against the district and two school officials, included claims that the district's policies regarding transgender students violated Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding discrimination based on sex in education.

In a decision filed last week, Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois agreed with the district's motion to dismiss Georgas' complaint.

That includes dismissing the suit's Equal Protection claim, Title IX claim, and First Amendment claims. Pallmeyer relinquished jurisdiction over the two remaining state-law claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and intrusion upon seclusion.

In a statement, a D109 representative said in a statement the ruling “provides important clarity and confirms that the District’s policies are consistent with existing federal law.”

“Importantly, the court concluded that the district's policies provide equal access for all students and recognized that excluding transgender students from facilities that align with their gender identity could itself violate federal law,” the statement said.

"Our focus remains on our students and providing learning environments where they feel safe, supported and able to learn," it continued. "That commitment will continue to guide our work."

Attorney Ajay Gupta, who is representing Georgas, has about a month to file an amended complaint. Attempts to reach Gupta were unsuccessful.

Gupta is the Republican candidate running for the Illinois House of Representatives District 41 seat, and has offered to work pro bono to bring lawsuits against school districts for their transgender student policies.

COSTLY LEGAL FIGHT

LGBTQ+ advocates praised the dismissal. Kristal Larson, a trans woman who has previously spoken during district board meetings and is the executive director of the LGBTQ Center of Lake County, said it demonstrates that Lake County is a “safe place for our LGBTQ+ students” to be themselves “without fear of legal persecution.”

"We are proud of the efforts of the community, civic groups, and school administration that stood their ground and will continue to stand alongside them to protect the rights of all LGBTQ+ families across Lake County," she said.

José Che-Che Wilson, director of Civic Engagement with state advocacy group Equality Illinois, also praised the decision, pledging to continue to “fight against tactics like this lawsuit.”

"It reinforces what we already know, which is the plaintiffs here cannot actually state any real harm. This lawsuit is an expression of transphobia, nothing more," Wilson said. "Every student in Illinois deserves a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment."

But it comes at a steep financial bill for the district; an updated expenditure tracking document from the district indicated that, including various legal, communication, and security costs, the lawsuit has cost the district nearly \$400,000.

It's not the only Lake County school district facing challenges to its transgender student policies.

In April, North Chicago Community Unit School District 187 was one of 36 Illinois school districts listed as under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for “sexual orientation and gender ideology content,” according to a department release.

The following month, Community High School District 128, which includes Libertyville and Vernon Hills High School, and D109 were among five school districts included in a slate of federal civil rights complaints filed by Awake Illinois, a conservative group based in Naperville.

Awake was founded in 2021 by Shannon Adcock, a Naperville mother who, during the COVID-19 pandemic, joined those railing against school mask mandates and other COVID-mitigation efforts, as well as equity and inclusion training in schools.

Adcock is also the chair of Moms for Liberty DuPage County.

Awake has encouraged lawsuits like the one filed against D109. During a livestream, Adcock called on parents to either join ongoing lawsuits against Illinois school districts or file their own.

That prosecutor, Diane MacArthur, has not signed on to any filings in the case since June, court records show. The prosecutor who, along with Boutros, signed the government's most recent filing in August had just joined the U.S. attorney's office weeks earlier.

The filing also called into question Boutros' claim that he was emailed a transcript of grand jury proceedings in October 2025 after his team had failed to secure an indictment – but that he was “quite certain” he’d never opened it. That transcript eventually revealed that the lead prosecutor on the case had improperly “vouched” for the strength of the evidence and dismissed grand jurors who were skeptical.

"The fairly stunning disclosure that the U.S. Attorney himself was directly sent a presumably expedited copy of the October 9, 2025, grand jury transcript, coupled with the questionable hearsay assertion that he does not think he read it, cry out for further inquiry," the filing stated.

The filing, which had been twice delayed by extensions and came in minutes before the midnight deadline, means the issues have finally been fully briefed nearly four months after the Broadview case melted down on May 21, with Boutros himself coming into court and dismissing all remaining counts just a few days before trial.

That means U.S. District Judge April Perry could soon decide what, if any, relief to grant to the former defendants, who have asked for a hearing on potential sanctions as well as the possible appointment of special counsel to pursue contempt charges.

Whether Perry will make her ruling in writing or call for a hearing with arguments from the parties remains to be seen.

If Perry does go forward with public hearings, it would escalate the already unprecedented turmoil for Chicago's storied U.S. attorney's office, with high-level staff members, including potentially Boutros himself, being forced to answer questions under oath about their actions in the Broadview case.

Attorneys for the Broadview Six have believed since the get-go that the decision to indict the group of local Democratic activists — including then-Congressional candidate Katherine “Kat” Abughazaleh

– for allegedly impeding an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent's vehicle during a Sept. 26, 2025, protest was politically motivated amid pressure from President Donald Trump's administration to make an example of them.

Those beliefs have only been reinforced, the filing Tuesday said, by revelations that Aakash Singh, a top deputy for then-acting

U.S. Attorney Todd Blanche, had a vested interest in the case. The filing pointed specifically to a social media post by a top supporter of Singh's on the day of the Broadview incident saying: "Dear Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros... where are the arrests of Kat Abughazaleh and others?"

"The record already shows that those within the Trump Administration and those closely aligned with it, including to Mr. Singh himself, specifically called for the prosecution of Ms. Abughazaleh for her involvement in protesting ICE at Broadview," the filing stated.

Boutros, who was first appointed in March 2025 by then-U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, has publicly denied bringing any cases for political reasons.

In a filing explaining their position last month, prosecutors said that while mistakes were made, corrective measures have since been taken and there is no evidence of vindictive prosecution that would warrant further hearings or sanctions.

"This case involved irregularities during a time of immense pressure, upheaval, and emotion in the district because of Operation Midway Blitz," prosecutors said in the motion, which detailed how the office has already been publicly rebuked by the court and had experienced prosecutors put under intense "public and private scrutiny."

The filing said “robust root-cause changes” have been implemented involving the handling of grand jury matters, including an ongoing review of minutes from as many as 1,000 grand jury proceedings dating back to 2007.

In a rare mea culpa, the U.S. attorney's office also acknowledged in the filing that it could have been more candid with Perry when it came to redacting large portions of the grand jury transcripts handed over in the Broadview case.

Those redactions ultimately revealed what Perry described as blatant misconduct by the lead prosecutor, Sheri Mecklenburg, and a failing of the “presumption of regularity” that normally exists between the court and the government.

While defense attorneys have asked for a hearing on sanctions and the appointment of special counsel to look into possible contempt charges, the U.S. attorney's office said in the filing that the court's message "has been clearly heard and there is no need to do more."

"The Office has not taken lightly this Court's statement about losing trust. It prompted the United States Attorney to personally address the Court," the government's filing last month said. "... The Government's various actions are a sincere effort to endeavor to restore the judiciary's, defense bar's, and public's confidence in the Office's grand jury and other practices and proceedings."

The filing by Boutros' office did contain a footnote saying there was a "virtual meeting" on Sept.

27 — the day after the Broadview incident — between U.S. Justice Department lawyers in Washington, D.C., the Chicago U.S. attorney's office and other federal law enforcement agencies to discuss issues of violence against immigration officers. In that meeting, a video of the clash in Broadview was played.

“Moreover, as would be expected in the normal course, there were discussions between the Office and Main Justice regarding such things as case updates, especially given the publicity the case generated after it had been charged,” the prosecution filing stated. “These privileged discussions are not only permitted but are contemplated.”

The filing Tuesday revealed the U.S. attorney's office has since claimed in emails to the defense that the “front office” does not consider a virtual meeting with officials in Washington to be “to be a direction.”

The U.S. attorney's office filing also revealed that five days after the first grand jury session in the Broadview case on Oct. 9 — which ended with a rare “no bill” from the panel — Boutros was emailed a transcript of the proceedings, indicating that it was being closely watched in the office. But the filing said Boutros was “quite certain” he didn’t review the transcript at the time.

On Oct. 16, two days after Boutros was emailed the copy, his prosecutors went back to the same grand jury to try again, leading to at least two skeptical jurors being kicked off the panel, including one who called the case "a crock of s—." That session again ended without an indictment being filed.

The grand jury finally approved the indictment a week later on Oct. 23, a day that began with Boutros himself appearing before the panel to remind them of their constitutional duties.

In their filing late Tuesday, the attorneys for the Broadview Six were clear that Boutros' claim he never read the emailed transcript demanded further inquiry.

“Surely the U.S. Attorney would not have authorized the representment of the indictment, something that rarely has occurred in the Northern District of Illinois, without reading the transcript of what occurred during the first presentment,” the filing said.

The defense also called for further inquiry into why the grand jury transcript redactions, which were approved by veteran prosecutor William Hogan, were made in the first place, and why Hogan allowed Perry to maintain the “false impression” that nothing of substance had been blacked out.

“Smoke does not always mean fire, but it is always a reason to look further,” the defense filing stated.

The defense noted Hogan — who decades ago was at the center of another scandal involving the El Rukn prosecutions — was reportedly involved in another high-profile political investigation of a Democratic fundraising firm with ties to the New York judge who presided over Trump's 2024 trial on hushmoney charges.

The Tribune reported Hogan's name was on a subpoena obtained through a special grand jury on Aug. 20, 2025, demanding records and communications between Authentic Campaigns Inc. and a host of high-profile Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and Illinois U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood.

Bus aide granted release after student fired gun near Bridgeport school

By Finnegan Belleau CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A Cook County judge Wednesday ordered the pretrial release of a school bus aide, in relation to an incident this week in which a 12-year-old student fired a loaded gun allegedly left on a school bus.

Steven Dixon, 22, faces a felony charge for possessing a firearm at a school, three misdemeanor counts of child endangerment and one misdemeanor count for reckless conduct, according to court records.

On Monday afternoon, a child shot a loaded gun allegedly left by Dixon on the school bus, shattering a window, police representatives said.

According to a police report obtained by the Tribune, the boy found holding the gun has a habit of going through other people's things.

This firearm was shot directly outside Minnie Miñoso Academy in Bridge-

port.

After being confronted by the bus driver, Dixon then allegedly grabbed the weapon and the bag and ran north on Wallace Street, according to the report.

Dixon was ordered to surrender any firearms and avoid contact with children other than his own.

In allowing Dixon's release pending trial, Judge John Hock spoke of Dixon's young age, lack of criminal history and appearance throughout the hearing. The school bus aide held his head in his hands, wiping his eyes.

“I do believe it’s clear you understand the situation that you find yourself in,” Hock told Dixon.

Dixon turned himself in to police about three hours after the incident, bringing them a gun, a shell casing and the backpack, Assistant State's Attorney Elizabeth Dibler said.

Surveillance video allegedly showed the gun firing directly over the head of another child, Dibler said.

She described the firearm as a black Glock semi-automatic pistol and noted that Dixon did not have a concealed carry license.

Defense attorney Raymond Bendig contended during Wednesday's hearing that the prosecution's request to jail Dixon ahead of trial was improper, as it would require proving the alleged crime involved a threat of "great bodily harm."

"There was no threat in any way by Mr. Dixon," Bendig said, arguing that leaving a gun unattended was not the same as threatening someone verbally or through actions.

Hock agreed with prosecutors that Dixon's alleged actions posed a threat, but the judge did not grant the petition for detention.

"It is an extremely dangerous situation — one you caused 100% by yourself that day when you chose to bring a gun around children," he said.

Dixon is due back in court next Monday.

other racetracks.

Hawthorne had been the last remaining horse track in the Chicago area since Churchill Downs' surprise closure of Arlington International Racecourse in 2021. State lawmakers gave Hawthorne power to open a casino at its track and in the south suburbs, and Hawthorne President Tim Carey repeatedly assured the racing board that he was on the verge of doing so, but never got financing or investors.

In January, the racing board suspended Hawthorne's license to conduct harness racing due to its financial troubles and inability to post required surety bonds.

In contrast, the only other track in the state, Fairmount Park Casino & Racing in Collinsville, near St. Louis, was acquired for \$35 million by Accel Entertainment in 2024. Accel announced plans to spend \$85 million to \$95 million to build a casino and make improvements, and has opened a temporary casino in its grandstand.

The racing board awarded Fairmount 73 thoroughbred racing dates for 2027, running two or three days a week from April through November.

Fairmount Park General Manager Vince Gabbert told the board that the track has increased its purses to about \$116,000 per race day. Fairmount also plans to open new off-track betting parlors, or OTBs, including in Decatur and Springfield, and would like to open more OTBs in northern Illinois.

Hawthorne had a dozen parlors in northern Illinois, where customers could bet on races at other tracks, but Illinois state law requires a license holder to run live races to operate off-track betting. OTB licenses run through Dec. 31, or until there is action taken against the licenses. The licenses are tied to an organization license, and as of Wednesday, Hawthorne still had one.

If the Hawthorne OTB licenses close, Gabbert said, it would mean the loss of \$2.5 million to \$3 million in annual revenue. Fairmount hopes to get state law changed to allow it to take over parlors in northern Illinois, Gabbert said, “once it’s deemed Hawthorne can no longer operate.”

after periods of drought, said Chris Anchor, a senior wildlife biologist with the Forest Preserves of Cook County, which collaborated with the state to conduct pathology exams and inspect the lakefront for more dead birds, from Rainbow Beach on Chicago's South Side to the Indiana stateline. Most species affected this summer have been mallard ducks, as well as herring and ring-billed gulls.

“Almost every summer, we have cases,” including in city parks and ponds farther inland, said Annette Prince, director of the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. “There’s no stopping it. It occurs in nature. The one way to slow it down or to improve (it) is to, certainly, clean up everything.”

The volunteer rescue organization has received calls regarding between half a dozen and a dozen suspected cases, including at Ohio Street Beach and near Museum Campus — “obviously, anything along the lakefront is rather connected,” Prince said.

Botulism is caused by a toxin that the bacterium Clostridium botulinum releases in warm water and environments with no oxygen. Since early August, surface water temperatures in Lake Michigan have been in the upper 60s to lower 70s, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

When drought leads to low water levels, it strands decaying vegetation on beaches. When birds consume that, or small invertebrates and fish infected with the neurotoxin, they become infected as well. The disease is not contagious, but it can still spread quickly through ingestion.

"When they die, here's where the snowball effect is," Anchor said.

Flies lay eggs in dead bird carcasses, filling them with maggots that become infected with the toxin. Then, other birds feed on the infected maggots, ingesting concentrated doses of the toxin.

“Then it becomes this cycle of things dying, then getting ingested by the next thing, and then it kind of keeps going until it sort of runs its course,” Prince said.

So-called dabbler birds like geese usually become affected first, since they feed on the surface of bodies of water or close to it, scavenging off the layer of scum.

"It goes from a handful of birds to, suddenly, you've got 50 or 100 or 1,000 birds dead, and we've seen that," Anchor said. "And that's why we're very anxious to get our hands on as many carcasses as possible, not just for testing, but to get them out of the environment."

In early August, nearly

14,000 birds died during a botulism outbreak at the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge on the Oregon-California border, local media reported.

Symptoms of avian botulism include paralysis, as the toxin causes progressive muscle weakness with drooping wings, weak legs and a limp neck, and often culminates in death by drowning or respiratory failure.

Two types of botulism occur in birds, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Type C is common during warmer months across the country, while type E is most common in the Great Lakes region during the spring and fall.

Fall bird migration is reaching its peak in North America, and Chicago is in the middle of the country's largest avian migratory route, the Mississippi Flyway.

Type E botulism emerged as a problem in the region in the 1960s as nutrient runoff concentrated in waterways, producing low-oxygen pockets and optimal conditions for the botulism toxin to form. According to the geological survey, outbreaks have become more widespread in recent years.

Research led by the federal agency and the

University of Wisconsin-Madison suggests that rising lake temperatures and more algal blooms could increase avian mortality from botulism in the Great Lakes.

These happen to be among the fastest-warming lakes in the world due to climate change.

One of the many consequences of warm surface temperatures, which contribute to low levels by enhancing evaporation, is low water levels. In 2024, Lake Michigan water levels dropped below their long-term averages for the first time in a decade.

When it comes to drought, while total annual rainfall has increased in Illinois — nearly 6 inches between 1895 and 2019, an increase of approximately 15% — precipitation is falling in more extreme, heavier bursts separated by longer, more intense periods of dry weather, according to the Illinois State Climatologist Office.

Some scientists also believe the spread of invasive species might be contributing to widespread avian botulism outbreaks in the region.

Invasive round goby fish — first spotted in the Great Lakes in 1990 — can help transmit the type E toxin that causes botulism. Gobies feed on decaying organic matter at the bottom of the lakes, and birds then consume the infected fish, according to the Wildlife Health Lab at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine.

And invasive zebra and quagga mussels filter water, allowing more light in. That, in turn, exacerbates algae growth, which eventually depletes oxygen when the vegetation dies and decomposes.

"This isn't okay, lots of ducks are dying a slow and painful death," wrote Victoria Helen, a Loop resident, on a Facebook post after seeing a female mallard duck dying in the northeast corner of the harbor while walking her dog last week.

After Helen and other residents said they got the runaround trying to report the deaths and ensure cleanup at the harbor, state officials stepped in to investigate and brought in Cook County's wildlife experts.

"We work hip-to-hip with DNR and other counties and the feds, because there's so few of us left that it would be impossible for any one agency to respond by itself," Anchor said.

He encouraged residents to reach out to the agency or their county's forest preserves if they encounter dead or dying waterfowl.

“Everything dies, so it’s quite common to find one (dead bird). That’s normal, that’s life,” he said. “But if you see five or more, yeah, then something’s probably cooking. We need to check it out.”

Chicago is drowning in debt. City Council should pass Quinn's measure to give aldermen more say over bonds

In early 2025, the City Council gave Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration authorization to issue another \$830 million in general obligation bonds by the thinnest of margins.

The mayor actually had to cast one of the few tie-breaking votes of his tenure to keep the measure from being sent back to committee before narrowly winning approval.

And why was there such controversy back then? Standard & Poor's just days before had downgraded the city's general obligation debt rating, the first such downgrade for Chicago in a decade. Two other ratings agencies since have joined S&P in lowering the city's creditworthiness, one of them — Kroll Bond Rating Agency — two separate times.

Additionally, the \$830 million bond authorization was structured in such a way that the city could delay paying any interest on the securities for a full two years, covering those financing costs with more interest. Aldermen who voted against the authorization noted that the overall cost of the \$830 million in bonds would total \$2 billion over the years, and that was at the rates that prevailed then — before last year's budget circus, which further tarred the city in the eyes of investors.

So reasonable aldermen now are pushing for an ordinance that would require a three-fifths majority vote for future bond authorizations. The council's Finance Committee approved the measure earlier this week on a 21-9 vote over the objections of the Johnson administration.

We strongly support this prudent action, which would apply not just to Brandon Johnson but future mayors as well. As the city's fiscal condition remains precarious, its reliance on debt has grown alarming, typified earlier this year by the sale of hundreds of millions in city bonds to cover operational costs — back pay owed to firefighters and the growing tab for settlements and judgments, principally tied to past conduct by Chicago police officers.

Under Johnson, the city's annual cost for debt service — the repayment of principal and interest on bonds — has ballooned. It was a little over \$2 billion when he took office in 2023 and is projected to be \$2.47 billion next year and \$2.5 billion in 2028, according to the city's most recent budget forecast, released over the summer. In last year's budget forecast, that 2027 projected cost was \$2.25 billion; so in the space of a year, the figure for that year alone grew by more than \$200 million.

Some of that increase is from bonds for O'Hare Airport infrastructure work that are backed by airport fees.

But the cost of general-obligation debt service, covered by property taxes, also is up substantially, rising to a projected \$539 million in 2028 from \$323 million in 2024. Total general obligation debt is slated to reach \$5.9 billion in 2028, up from less than \$5 billion in 2024.

The mayor's team hopes to add to the IOU pile soon. The city plans to sell \$600 million in new general obligation bonds the week of Oct. 19 to fund capital projects, newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Ashlee Gabrysch confirms.

It will be most interesting to see what sort of interest rate the city will have to dangle to offload the securities, as well as the structure of repayment.

Will the administration again offer a back-loaded payback schedule that inflates the amount of interest taxpayers must absorb over time? At any rate, don't be surprised if the city ends up paying rates well above what its current credit ratings otherwise should support.

On Sept. 15, S&P reaffirmed its BBB rating on the city's rating, two notches above junk status, but retained its negative watch with

all kinds of warnings about Chicago's fiscal trajectory. Among other things, S&P noted the slow pace at which the Johnson administration has implemented recommendations for cost savings recommended in last year's thorough report by Ernst & Young.

Facing an \$882 million deficit for 2027, the mayor will release his budget next month. Even with mayoral and aldermanic elections looming, there's no reason to believe the coming budget debate will be any less fraught than the previous two under Johnson's watch.

Between the city's dramatically underfunded pensions and its growing debt load, about $40\%$ of its budget is dedicated just to those two items. That is far and away the highest percentage of any major U.S. city.

So it's small wonder the City Council wants to take firmer control over these debt decisions that will obligate Chicagoans for decades to come.

Yes, the city has infrastructure needs that must be addressed, fiscal crisis or no. Debt is how such projects typically are financed. But this administration has shown an inability to prioritize needs over wants, and aldermen are right to want more input.

Ald. Marty Quinn, 13th, who originally proposed the bond-authorization ordinance at a two-thirds majority, scaled back the required supermajority to three-fifths of the council. We think that was the right move. A two-thirds hurdle would give just 17 aldermen the power to torpedo future debt financings. A three-fifths requirement means 30 of 50 alders would have to sign on, a reasonable supermajority that encourages compromise over the size of future authorizations and the sorts of expenditures they're covering.

Such a policy change, we believe, would be viewed as positive by investors and ratings agencies, not to mention taxpayers.

The four credit downgrades on Johnson's watch don't give his administration the credibility to argue against this prudent step. There's a reason these aldermen want more say over the debt load being heaped on taxpayers — because there are few priorities more urgent right now than protecting the city's wobbly credit from further erosion.

If only CPS could be like District 65 in Evanston/Skokie

Meet Eric Witherspoon, the interim school superintendent of Evanston/Skokie School District 65. We only wish he were working for the Chicago Public Schools.

Witherspoon inherited a fiscal mess at the Evanston/Skokie school district, which overspent for years, created positions it could not afford to support and accumulated a hefty deficit even as it had to adjust for declining enrollment, meaning it was serving some $25\%$ fewer students than was the case just eight years ago. The district also opened a new school, Foster School, that it didn't really need but that the Black community in Evanston argued long had been promised to them.

The debate over the need for that school is moot. It's open. Now Witherspoon has to

sort out the finances.

So far, he is pulling no punches arguing that \$20 million has to be excised from the District 65 budget.

His comprehensive plan, which he outlined at a public meeting of the school board on Monday, includes aligning staffing levels and compensation with peer districts (District 65 was out of whack), closing two under-enrolled schools, reducing “purchased services,” aggressively seeking efficiencies and seeking out new revenue opportunities. When faced with the inevitable opposition, especially since Witherspoon’s plan is building on prior cuts and budget reductions, he has pointed out that if these things are not done, District 65 simply will run out of

cash. And then where will the district's kids be?

Consider this quote from the board meeting, as reported in Evanston Now: "School districts cannot afford to operate buildings which are at 64% capacity."

In Chicago, of course, taxpayers are paying for school buildings that can only dream of being at 64% capacity.

Witherspoon's argument? Students are not served by wasting money on empty buildings and the ghosts of enrollments past when the resources are better spent on teaching and learning for the 5,900 students actually there for an education.

We could not agree more. We also could not agree more with his view that these kinds of money problems are best dealt

with at one fiscal swoop, painful as it may be, allowing a school district to get out from under a long-lasting cloud to start and build anew on a sustainable path.

We hope the District 65 board, the community of Evanston and the served slither of Skokie see that Witherspoon is right. Evanston historically has been known for the quality of the public education it offers, but quality requires sustainability.

Chicago Public Schools should take note of what is happening in the famously liberal suburb just to the north. A wise head is in charge. At least on an interim basis. And he appears dedicated to ensuring that whoever follows him has a pathway forward.

ON THIS DAY 56 YEARS AGO OUR CAMPUSES AND ENDS AND MEANS

At Kansas State University yesterday, President Nixon ably developed the major subject of ends and means. The topic is a classic, perennial one on which it is impossible to say anything altogether novel. But it is a timely one, because university campuses are undermined by a significant minority willing to use evil means.

Nixon's thesis was: “Violence and terror have no place in a free society, whoever the perpetrators and whatever their purported cause. In a system that provides the means for peaceful change, no cause justifies violence in the name of change.” Applying his thesis to the context of higher education, Nixon said, “It is time for responsible university and college administrators, faculty, and student leaders to stand up and be counted. Only they can save higher education in America.”

This needs saying, nearly incredible tho the need is. The incidence of murderous violence in campus communities has been increasing in recent months, and everyone looks forward with considerable anxiety to the school year now opening. The record all too clearly shows that the contemporary campus cutup is neither funny nor harmless, but deadly serious and ready to go to any lengths. The record shows, too, that university authorities have all too often been irresolute and compromising when they should have acted promptly and decisively. The President could have chosen no subject more appropriate to a major address on a university campus at this particular time than the one he developed at Kansas State.

The President's argument was all the more cogent for being eminently reasonable and fair. The high line he took yesterday sought no partisan advantage. He spoke as everyone's President, in terms that any good citizen, however critical he might be of some of the President's policies, can cheer and commend.

Francis Parker can put principles into practice

By Karl Peet

SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

For 125 years, Francis W. Parker School has espoused “a progressive approach to education that challenges students to think critically, act with empathy, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.”

As a parent of a recent Parker graduate and a longtime member of the school community, I believe the school now has a golden opportunity to put those principles into practice.

Like many in the community, I support Parker's ambitions for its next chapter. The school intends to welcome 125 additional students, increase financial assistance and improve its facilities to strengthen an institution that has benefited generations of Chicago students.

These are goals worth supporting. Yet a more important question is whether Parker's original proposal — to extend its presence onto a dense residential street and to demolish 15 units of family housing — offers the most effective, efficient and inclusive solution to meet these goals.

A community-developed alternative proposal suggests a more optimal and equitable approach. The plan would advance Parker's objectives while making better use

Parker's original proposal represents considerable efforts by its trustees and administrators. But responsible stewardship does not mean staying tethered to an idea because it is favored by an inner circle. It means thinking flexibly and rigorously examining promising new alternatives.

of the school's existing 6-acre campus and assets, adding valuable new facilities and yielding significant net savings that could support Parker's educational priorities.

That should be an appealing proposition to everyone who cares about Parker's mission.

For students, it would mean more resources for financial aid and educational programs. For faculty and staff, it would enhance salaries and professional development. For alumni and donors, it would allow philanthropic dollars to go further.

And for current and future parents, it would enhance Parker's offerings while perhaps even slowing the growth of rising tuition.

The alternative plan also proposes more tangible campus improvements than the original: a protected student drop-off area, covered parking for faculty and staff, geothermal wells to reduce energy costs by an estimated 40% to 60%, and a potential state-of-the-art aquatic center to offer Parker students new athletic options and administration a new enrollment draw.

Parker now has the benefit of multiple planning visions to consider. It can evaluate educational benefits, financial aid capacity, faculty needs, traffic circulation and environmental performance and determine which aspects of each approach will best serve the long-term needs of the school.

These options recall the words of Parker Principal Daniel B. Frank, who has described progressive education as embracing “thoughtful ideas and new modes of inquiry” and showing “the integrity to think for oneself, especially, if after listening and reflecting, one changes one’s mind.”

The alternative proposal offers the Parker board and administration a chance to demonstrate these principles institutionally and to reflect the needs of the broader community.

Parker's original proposal represents considerable efforts by its trustees and administrators.

But responsible stewardship does not mean staying tethered to an idea because it is favored by an inner circle.

It means thinking flexibly and rigorously examining promising new alternatives.

And doing so would produce another priceless asset: greater Parker community unity around the school's future, as the majority of community members have not endorsed the original proposal, and an increasing number are expressing support for the alternative plan.

The alternative proposal offers Parker the chance to expand its opportunities while optimizing its existing footprint, to generate more revenue rather than demolishing valuable assets and to expand the community while strengthening its relationship with Chicagoans.

To be clear: This is not a choice between supporting or opposing Parker's goals. It is a chance to make Parker's next 125 years — and its existing 6-acre footprint — more valuable than ever.

Having experienced Parker as a parent, I want to see the school thrive. And the best way to ensure the success of the school is, in Frank's words, to embrace new modes of inquiry.

I hope Parker's board of trustees and administrators will respect the desire of their community for fiscal responsibility and due diligence and will undertake a fair and transparent evaluation of planning options before a suboptimal proposal becomes irreversible.

And I hope Chicago Plan Commission members will hear all of the voices concerned about Parker's future — not only those of the board and administration — and conclude that its request for rezoning in a dense residential neighborhood is counterproductive for all involved.

Frank recently exhorted the Parker community to leave the school “a better, more inclusive, and creative place than we found it.” The alternative proposal presents a golden opportunity to do just that.

City should reject private school's expansion plans

By Kelsey Burr

SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

Chicago needs strong schools, hospitals, cultural institutions and nonprofits. While some of those institutions serve the public, others, such as private schools, primarily serve those willing and able to pay for their services.

Their tax-free status means they do not contribute to paying for city services. Further, when they purchase private property to expand their campuses, they compensate the owner of the land, but they do not compensate the city for the permanent loss of tax revenue.

It's time to ask more of private schools when they want to expand their campuses at taxpayers' expense.

The case of Francis W. Parker, an elite private school in Lincoln Park that has enjoyed tax-exempt status since 1932, perfectly illustrates what is at stake. Parker plans to convert a midblock, 15-unit multifamily building on West Belden Avenue into school space, add a pedestrian bridge over a public alley and install stadium lights on its athletic field.

According to the school, the project would add space for roughly 125 students and 30 employees.

Parker's proposal has real, human costs that affect not just a block, but the entire city. It would swallow up housing when we are trying to enact policies to grow our housing stock. It would displace families and permanently alter a vibrant residential neighborhood when we are trying to keep eyes and ears on our streets and shoppers in our local stores.

Most of all, we lose property that contributes to the local tax base and funds important public services.

Public policy professor David Merriman of the University of Illinois Chicago used a common financial analysis tool to determine the value today of all the future taxes the multifamily building would generate and compared that to the value today of the benefits Parker claims are associated with the proposal. Merriman valued the building's tax revenue at more than \$10 million in today's terms.

Offsetting those loses was less than \$1 million in public benefits. Taxpayers lose 10-1. Losing future tax revenue means our public schools, parks, city services and aging infrastructure suffer because of a tax-exempt private institution's expansion plans.

We should all be alarmed. This is not about one residential building. Over the years, allowing these repeated acquisitions adds up, shifting the financial burden to those of us left behind. Why should city residents accept lower service levels or be forced to pick up the tab for private institutions?

Parker's plans also call for athletic field lighting. Parker's field sits immediately across the street from homes. Parker plans to light its field and run events from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and to increase use of the field, bringing more traffic and noise to a quiet, residential block, putting further stress on our public streets and services that the taxpayers support.

Why should residents lose the quiet use of their homes so a private institution can expand its campus and extend its operating hours?

Parker tried to add stadium lighting before in 2012. The attempt resulted in a city ordinance banning permanent lighting on the athletic field. Parker claims that new technology will make lights a nonissue; however, the proposed lighting technology has not been certified to be placed within 65 feet of residences anywhere. Additionally, the lighting does not resolve the public nuisance and noise issues that will result from extended field usage.

The city should protect the homeowners and renters who want to live peacefully in their homes. New lighting technology does not change the central conflict between a residential neighborhood and a private institution looking for heavier, more intensive use of property next door.

In this case, the community has done more than simply object. Residents hired an architect and put together a thoughtful, comprehensive alternative proposal that addresses Parker's stated needs while preserving housing and maintaining the neighborhood's character. That better proposal shows that Parker can improve its campus to meet its educational goals without tearing down occupied homes or placing noise and congestion burdens on nearby residents.

Chicago should require every private institution seeking to expand into residential neighborhoods to account for the loss of housing and tax revenue and the increase in noise, traffic, lighting and other harms.

Our elected officials must include residents in the planning process before negotiation begins and before voting starts at City Hall. In this case, the city has so far ignored written petitions from over 2,000 residents and has not involved local neighborhood associations in negotiations with Parker.

As a result, the proposal remains tilted too far in favor of private interests over the public good.

The Chicago Plan Commission should reject Parker's applications. If it is unwilling to do so, it should postpone any vote until an updated traffic study is made public, community members have meaningful time to review and respond, and the community's alternative plan has received serious consideration. Rather than dismissing the community's work, Parker and the city should engage with residents in good faith to develop a plan that meets the school's needs while responding to legitimate community concerns. A workable path should be shaped through real collaboration, not imposed after the most important choices have already been made.

This issue extends beyond Parker and Lincoln Park. Without firm standards, private tax-exempt institutions will keep buying up residential property and turning our neighborhoods into extensions of their campuses, at our expense. Once homes are demolished, properties are removed from the tax base, and neighborhood character is lost, Chicago cannot get them back.

OPINION

Mayor Brandon Johnson arrives for a press conference on Sept. 1. ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Johnson exploits AIPAC

Thank you to the Tribune Editorial Board for the Sept. 15 editorial "Mayor Johnson kicks off a reelection campaign with a speech full of bile." Why did Johnson, the incumbent candidate for mayor of Chicago, target the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in his campaign kickoff speech when that group is not involved in the race?

Rather than do the work of improving life in this city or balancing the budget, Johnson finds it easier to drum up support by drawing on the politics of division and hate. His dog whistle was also out last month on the “Let’s Be Clear” podcast, when he seemed to connect bombing Palestinians with dollars withdrawn from Black communities.

Johnson said that to label his critiques of Israel as antisemitic is “witchcraft.” The scary thing is that picking on a small minority could work for a desperate candidate running in a crowded field. I hope Chicagoans show him that it won’t.

Josh Singer, Chicago

Mayor, run on your record

Mayor Brandon Johnson, kicking off his reelection campaign, made clear that you can't be a “true” progressive if you take money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee or Michael Sacks.

It's a litmus test: Any support from either, and you fail. AIPAC has become a scarlet letter for candidates

— take its money, and you're barred from the progressive party regardless of your views or your record.

The implication is that AIPAC contributions buy votes on Israel-related issues. But that only holds up if you believe campaign donations always deliver the outcome the donor wants, which is never guaranteed. I'm not sure why Israel should factor into a race for Chicago mayor at all, but Johnson can't resist dragging AIPAC into it to pander to progressives. It's easier to attack a donor than to run on your record — particularly a record as thin as Johnson's. If I were in his shoes, I'd look for distractions too.

The attacks on Sacks are more troubling. This is a man who backed Barack Obama; he's a longtime Democrat who has supported candidates across the party, including JB Pritzker. If Johnson had governed even reasonably well, I suspect Sacks would be supporting him too. Instead, Sacks gets lumped in with AIPAC.

The truth is that Sacks cares deeply about Chicago. Even Pritzker has defended him, calling him “good, decent, honorable” and someone who cares deeply about Democratic values. But to Johnson, he’s just red meat to throw to the progressive base.

Here's a suggestion to Johnson. He should run on his record. If he really thinks he's done a good job, he should let his work speak for itself. But please, put the distractions aside. We deserve more from our leaders. — Dean Gerber, Chicago

Mayor an imitator of Trump

I wholeheartedly agree with the Tribune Editorial Board's assertion that Mayor Brandon Johnson is very Trumpian. He has been over his head from the first day he took office. His handling of the Bears stadium situation brought to light just how ill-suited he is for being a leader. His agenda is to uplift the less fortunate in the city, but it seems that at every turn, because of his lack of business knowledge and simple common sense, he has put the constituents whom he says he's championing in jeopardy.

He has shown he is nothing more than a cheap Donald Trump imitator. The real thing is more than enough. — Todd Swift, Chicago

Another Johnson for mayor

When I first looked at the Sept. 14 front page, I was a bit perplexed. Bears head coach Ben Johnson and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson both were highlighted in stories.

I don't live in Chicago, but I read about the mayor and his task of getting reelected, even though he is far behind in his fundraising. Then I read about the Bears coach, who isn't a Chicago resident and therefore cannot run for the mayor's job. However, after Bears fans saw the Bears win 59-37 against the Carolina Panthers, I would say Ben Johnson — Chicago resident or not — would be a shoo-in for the mayor's job.

We know it's not realistic, but it sure starts the week off in a great mood.

Go Bears!

Red Line Extension overdue

For more than half a century, the Far South Side has waited for the Red Line Extension — a project that should have been built when families like mine were raising 10 children in Englewood and opportunity depended on access. The need for this extension was clear as early as the late 1960s and 1970s, when planners first discussed extending the Dan Ryan part of the Red Line beyond 95th Street.

Had Chicago acted then, the cost would have been under \$500 million, based on rail construction costs of that era. Today, after decades of delay, the price exceeds \$5 billion.

That difference represents more than inflation. It reflects decades of lost economic growth, stalled development and missed opportunity for communities that needed transit equity the most. Now, at long last, the Red Line Extension is moving forward.

This moment — long overdue — is the result of leadership that has been steady, experienced and deeply connected to the communities the project will serve. One of those leaders is CTA Chairman Lester Barclay.

Barclay's connection to the CTA spans more than 40 years. He grew up in Englewood, relying on the CTA for daily life. During college, he worked at the agency, and later, as an attorney, he represented the CTA in complex legal matters. His legal mind has been central to protecting the interests of riders, employees and taxpayers — and it has been instrumental in navigating the complex political and regulatory landscape that surrounds major transit projects.

Experience matters. And Barclay's experience is unmatched.

He was appointed to the CTA Board by Mayor Lori Lightfoot and retained by Mayor Brandon Johnson, and now he has been appointed by Johnson to serve on the new Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA). That level of confidence speaks volumes. It reflects a leader who is steady under pressure, respected across government and trusted to guide the region through a historic transition.

Chicago is entering a new era of regional transit governance under NITA. Funding is approved. The structure is in place. The region is aligned. This is the moment when continuity matters most.

The South Side waited more than 50 years for the Red Line Extension. We cannot afford to repeat the leadership failures that stalled this project for generations.

Archdiocese needs expert

Like lawyer and letter writer Jim Figliulo (“Archdiocese’s mishandling,” Sept. 10), I would like to see the Chicago Archdiocese’s process for reviewing allegations of the sexual abuse of minors changed. Its policies on the clerical sexual abuse of minors became the basis for the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, which archdiocese official Leah Heffernan references in her letter (“Archdiocese’s investigations,” Sept. 2). The charter requires that the review board include a member with “expertise in the treatment of the sexual abuse of minors”; that is, a professional who treats people who have abused minors. But it does not have a parallel and complementary requirement that the board include a member with expertise in the treatment of sexually abused minors.

Including a professional with an understanding of victim/survivor trauma and behavior would help in evaluating the veracity of their allegations.

Decision belongs to patient

My mother used Maine's Death with Dignity Act in 2021 after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She chose to end her life before the disease took from her the independence, control and dignity she considered essential to living. It was not an easy decision, nor was it made casually. It was deeply personal, and it was hers.

What troubles me in the editorial (“Illinois’ right-to-die law meets the right to say no,” Sept. 11) is the assumption that requiring a physician to provide information or a referral amounts to participation in assisted suicide. My mother’s physicians did not tell her that Maine law gave her this option. Her children did. And once she decided to pursue it, navigating a law that had been enacted only two years earlier was difficult; many physicians were themselves unfamiliar with its requirements.

A legal right means little if patients cannot find out that it exists or cannot reach someone willing to help them exercise it. No physician should be forced to prescribe medication in violation of conscience. But neither should a physician's religious or moral beliefs become a barrier between a competent, terminally ill patient and a lawful medical option.

A referral is not participation. It is recognition that the decision belongs to the patient.

— Marc LeClere, Chicago

Fear drives no bargains

Three recent letters on Illinois' End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act illustrate the causes of the deep sociopolitical divisions in our country.

Sebastian Nalls, a healthcare policy analyst at Access Living in Chicago, writes in his letter (“People with disabilities at risk,” Sept. 14) that his organization “remains steadfast” in its opposition to the act. Access Living is “deeply concerned about the risks this law poses to people with disabilities.”

Unfortunately, nothing in his letter substantiates these concerns, as he spends the rest of his argument on what isn't being done to help sustain the well-being of those with disabilities. I'm disabled myself and lost a son to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Nalls makes valid points on this subject, but he seems to oppose the act out of baseless fears.

Edward Gogol, of Crystal Lake, does an excellent job in his letter (“Explain law; don’t insinuate,” Sept. 15), countering those fears with facts. The facts are that it would be impossible for a person with disabilities to have their life ended prematurely through this act. The law is written with restrictions so limiting that the act can only be taken as a matter of personal choice and responsibility.

Colin C. Campbell, of Geneva, in his letter (“Interference by religion,” Sept. 15) addresses the argument often cited in sociopolitical debates: that the law is a sin. As he so logically reminds us in this land of the free: “I can’t do this because my religion forbids it” is freedom of religion. ‘You can’t do this because my religion forbids it’ is authoritarianism.

Choose the debate in this country: right to die, right to choose, right to life, right to marry, right to carry, gender rights, immigrant rights and equal rights. Take the religion out of the argument and put the facts into it. Then remove the need to control others' choices to quell unsupported fears. Suddenly, there's little for us to argue about in this country of Independence.

Few lose a freedom by granting it to another under our Constitution. Yet, so many fear it.

Fear, rather than freedom, drives no bargains. It takes the breath out of every friendship, tempts lies instead of truths in the drive to win at all costs and chooses the dark instead of lighting the future.

Fear didn't build America. Nor will it sustain it.

The way to fight teen takeovers

The way to fight street takeovers is with arrests, fines, vehicle impoundments and curfews. So why are so many of our officials opposed to these measures? They are probably playing to their voter base. They are doing what their voter base wants them to do.

SUSAN MICHOD 1945-2026

Feminist painter was founding member of Artemisia Gallery

By Bob Goldsborough FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago painter Susan Michod specialized in producing bold, vibrant and expansive paintings, including of landscapes, as part of the Pattern and Decoration movement that sprang up in the 1970s as a necessary response to aspects of painting — such as patterns — that some had deemed to be feminine or not Western.

“Her ambitions told her to stay in New York, because this was a time when it was hard to earn respect in the art world outside Fortress New York,” Alec Michod said.

Her commitment to the arts stands out to me, as well as her feminist leanings,” said School of the Art Institute of Chicago art history professor Lisa Wainwright. “Susan’s participation in the Pattern and Decoration movement was significant.

A longtime Lincoln Park resident who also had homes in Michigan and Boca Grande, Florida, Michod had suffered a grand mal seizure in 1992, after which doctors discovered a rare brain cancer. She recovered, eventually learning again how to walk, talk and paint.

Born Susan Alexander in 1945 in Toledo, Ohio, Michod grew up in Toledo and in a nearby suburb, Ottawa Hills, and graduated from Ottawa Hills High School. Though her parents weren't artists

Michod attended Smith College in Massachusetts before transferring to the University of Michigan to study art. After college, Michod moved to New York City's West Village neighborhood, where she produced abstract geometric paintings and cultivated alliances and community in the art world. She then earned a Master of Fine Arts in 1969 from Pratt Institute in New York.

— her mother was a teacher and her father was an automotive engineer who helped develop the wraparound windshield for General Motors — Michod met artists through her parents, including a family friend, noted glass artist Harvey Littleton.

But after marrying her husband, Charles, in 1969, Michod moved to Chicago, where he had accepted a job, and they settled in Lincoln Park.

Both in New York and in Chicago, Michod built ties with other female artists, including Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro and Ellen Lanyon. She taught painting and drawing at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts — which later became the Art Institute of Chicago — and she soon joined the Pattern and Decoration movement.

“Modernist art and the big heavyweights always looked down on the decorative arts, and my mom and other Pattern and Decoration painters really embraced that and saw an opportunity to bring about social change and be part of the heightened political activism and cultural awareness of the time,” Alec Michod said. “And it kind of caught fire as part of second-wave feminism.”

Michod sat unapolo- getically at the forefront of the Pattern and Decora- tion movement, producing vibrant, large-scale paint- ings. Her work frequently showed at Jan Cicero's River North gallery.

The paintings Michod produced “are complex patchworks of interlocking geometrical forms which play games with positive-negative space,” then-Tribune art critic Alan G. Artner wrote in 1975. “Everything is in flux, the relationships constantly changing. Colors are brilliant; the mode of expression is exacting, but narrow.”

In 1973, Michod and 20 artists, including Vera Klement and Margaret Wharton, founded the Artemisia Gallery, which operated for 30 years before closing in 2003 after its main benefactor's death.

Michod and other Artemisia artists participated in the 1985 show “Critical Messages: The Use of Public Media for Political Art by Women,” which produced 18 ad placards and billboards on issues such as sexism, racism, women’s health and nuclear health for installation on Chicago Transit Authority buses and train platforms. The agency rejected 10 of the works, labeling them “disturbing and offensive.”

ancient patterns and cultures that she could integrate into her work. She continued developing close friendships with artists across disciplines and cultures, and she often penned essays about art on an old manual typewriter. She wrote in one essay that "there is at least one 'fact' I know about my painting: It is an excuse to play with color."

After having a brain tumor, Michod had to relearn how to paint. She then continued producing art, showing new work until 2006. Her work was displayed at a host of galleries and museums, including Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, the Bronx Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the State of Illinois Center gallery.

In 2019, Michod's work drew renewed recognition when it was included in an exhibit at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art, "With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972-1985."

Artist Lorri Gunn, a friend and fellow Artemisia artist, called Michod “warm, sweet and absolutely devoted to her art.”

“Like my late husband (artist Karl Wirsum), Susan was the kind of artist who could not not work,” Gunn said.

Artist Pala Townsend said Michod's art “had beautiful patterns and abstract arrangements.”

"There was always some kind of theme there," Townsend said. "She had a wide range of paintings, and they weren't all alike. She was a very hard-working artist and very serious. She fit in well with the Chicago art scene."

Michod loved raising her children as a working mother, and she appreciated Chicago's tapestry of neighborhoods and cultures, her son said. She also enjoyed transforming interesting and unique objects left in alleys into works of art, he said.

Michod is survived by her husband of 57 years, Charles; two other sons, Mike and Rick; and three grandchildren.

A celebration of life is planned for October.

Canadian trade war taxes small businesses

Companies caught in crossfire as costs rise

By Mae Anderson ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A trade war between the United States and Canada is making it more difficult and expensive for small businesses in the economically entwined countries to operate, according to business owners caught in the crossfire.

Canada imposed reciprocal tariffs on about \$20 billion (CA\$27.6 billion) worth of U.S. goods last week after President Donald Trump placed import taxes on Canadian goods worth the same amount. In response to Canada's action, Trump said the U.S. also would ban imports of wine, whiskey, selected motorcycles and the dairy ingredient whey from Canada.

The tariffs so far involve about 5.5% of the neighboring nations' bilateral trade in goods. Analysts say the overall economic impact therefore will be muted. But small business owners who depend on cross-border sales say a tax of up to 50% on their products and ill will created by the conflict have an outsize effect on them, especially when higher energy costs stemming from the Iran war are eroding their balance sheets.

The owners of four small businesses, two in the U.S. and two in Canada, spoke with Associated Press about the ways the trade war is affecting their companies.

VERMONT CHEESEMAKER

At Jasper Hill Farm, an artisan cheesemaker in Greensboro, Vermont, co-founder Mateo Kehler said Trump's opening salvo produced an immediate effect: canceled holiday orders from wholesale customers in Canada, whose border is only about 40 miles away.

Cheese wasn't among the products made subject to new U.S. tariffs last month. Kehler suspects his hopes for expanding business in Canada are stalling because residents there resent the way the president and members of his Cabinet treat their country, a longtime ally.

"The backlash on the market side is actually what's affecting us the most," Kehler said. "It's the rhetoric that has inspired a boycott."

Airport aggravation

O'Hare, Midway again ranked below average in customer satisfaction survey

By Talia Soglin

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago's airports have again ranked below average in an annual customer satisfaction survey released by JD Power.

JD Power says its 2026 customer satisfaction report on North American airports, released Wednesday, is based on more than 24,000 survey responses. Air travelers were asked to evaluate airports based on their ease of travel through the airport, terminal facilities, food and retail offerings and level of “trust” in the airport, among other metrics.

This year, O'Hare International Airport is tied for last place in the "mega" airports category, which is for airports that see 33 million or more passengers per year. It shares the bottom spot with Newark Liberty International in New Jersey.

That's a bit of a drop from last year, when O'Hare — one of the busiest airports in the world — was still below average but ranked 16th out of 20 airports in its category.

Michael Taylor, JD Power's practice lead for travel, said O'Hare's biggest problem is construction. The city last year broke ground on an \$8.8 billion modernization and terminal expansion project at O'Hare that promises to eventually reshape the airport and add gates.

But in its current form, Taylor said, the airport — one of the busiest in the world — is “definitely not as big as it needs to be.” O’Hare last year saw the most aircraft movements of any airport in the world, according to data from the Airports Council International. It’s among the top airports in the world by passenger traffic, too.

During busy periods, “it’s like Mardi Gras” inside O’Hare, Taylor said.

O'Hare's new 19-gate "Concourse D," which is one part of the terminal expansion project, is expected to wrap up in late 2028.

The city said construction on a second new concourse is expected to start later this year, adding more than a dozen new gates to the airport in 2030. The centerpiece of the modernization project, the Jeanne Gang-designed Global Terminal, will be nearly double the size of the airport's Terminal 2, which it's slated to replace. The Global Terminal is slated for completion in 2033, with the whole modernization project expected to be done in 2034.

"From the renderings I've seen, it will make O'Hare look completely different, and probably feel completely different," Taylor said.

Notably, JD Power said that the highest-ranking airports in its survey have recently completed or are close to completing large capital improvement projects.

“JD Power is one of several national measures of the passenger experience, and we take that feedback seriously as we continue working to improve the experience at both O'Hare and Midway,” Chicago Department of Aviation spokesperson Kevin Bargnes said in an email to the Tribune.

He noted that O'Hare last year was named "Best Airport in North America" by the readers of Global Traveler and that Midway was named "Best Family-Friendly Domestic Airport" by the Wherever Awards.

Bargnes said the city “know(s) there is more work to do” but is “making historic investments at both airports to deliver a substantially better passenger experience.” He pointed to the big O’Hare modernization project as well as to other initiatives at both airports, including a \$400 million modernization project at Midway that wrapped up in 2023.

At O'Hare, Bargnes pointed to the city's \$1.3 billion Terminal 5 expansion and modernization project as well as an ongoing \$300 million project in the airport's Terminal 3 that is expected to wrap up next year. The T3 project, he said, is intended to improve security screening, accessibility and concessions space, amongst other goals.

Midway also falls below average in the JD Power survey, ranking 17th out of 24 airports in the “large” category, which is for airports that see between 10 million and 33 million passengers each year.

Last year, Midway ranked 19th out of 27 airports in the category, an improvement over its 2024 results.

“Midway has had a lot of improvement over the years,” Taylor said. One bright spot, he said: It’s a relatively easy airport for passengers to get out of once they land. And, he said, more than half of respondents say they’d recommend Midway to a friend.

"I think they recommend it because the other alternative's O'Hare," he said.

The top spots this year were taken by Minneapolis-Saint Paul International and Tampa International in the mega and large categories, respectively.

Americans increasingly concerned about environmental impact of AI

Cars drive past data centers in Ashburn, Va. TED SHAFFREY/AP 2023

On the way home from a recent trip, Eriech Tapia drove past a sea of dark industrial buildings lining an already jam-packed northern Virginia road: data centers.

"It was interesting to see how many were going up," said Tapia, a 30-year-old Republican from Arlington, Virginia, who works in higher education advocacy and policy. He said the data centers lend valuable computing power that can help keep the U.S. competitive with other nations, but he also worries about how much electricity they use.

Like Tapia, Americans have grown more concerned about the environmental impacts of artificial intelligence over the last year, according to a new poll from Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.

The survey data say about half, 53%, of Americans are “extremely” or “very” concerned about artificial intelligence’s environmental impacts. That is up from 41% last year. Democrats are driving much of the increase in environmental concern, but the poll also reveals broader worries about the local impact of data centers, which power AI and cloud computing.

"We're undertaking a massive experiment in real time, and I don't think there'll be any putting the milk back in the bottle. Change is scary, and I think some of that is being reflected here," said Michael Greenstone, who directs the University of Chicago institute that collaborated on the survey.

AMONG DEMOCRATS

There are thousands of data centers in the U.S. with construction planned for more. Those include smaller, conventional centers that have been around for decades, as well as larger hyperscale ones that are being built to serve artificial intelligence's added processing needs. Virginia and Texas have the most facilities currently in operation, and other top contenders include California, Ohio and New York.

While 87% of existing data centers are in urban areas, most new data centers are planned for rural areas, according to a Pew Research Center analysis from earlier this year.

"I think that decisions are being made for the company, not for the community that they're being built in," said Nancy Antunes, a 60-year-old retired Democrat from Waltham, Massachusetts.

A recent United Nations University report predicted that data centers' environmental footprint, which already rivals some of the world's largest countries, will grow rapidly as AI is more widely adopted.

Democrats are increasingly worried about AI's environmental consequences. About two-thirds of Democrats say they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about how AI will affect the environment, the poll found, up from about half in 2025. By contrast, about half of independents and about 4 in 10 Republicans are highly concerned about the environmental impact of AI.

Overall, Americans are more worried about the environmental impact of AI than other industries with a substantial environmental footprint. Only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults are highly concerned about the impact of meat production or air travel.

MOST SUPPORT LIMITS ON NEW DATA CENTERS

While concerns about environmental impacts are higher among Democrats, there is a broad sense of wariness about a rapid data center boom.

About 6 in 10 Americans support limiting the number of new data centers that can be built, including most Democrats and Republicans.

"There's a lot of water usage by AI data centers that's taking away from other things like agriculture and farmers and places that really need it, and people who really need it," said 21-year-old computer science student Gedeon Kebede, a Democrat from Cincinnati, Ohio.

A majority of Americans are “extremely” or “very” concerned about the impact of data centers on electricity prices or the water supply in the communities where they are built.

Data centers' use of water to cool AI chips and computers is “nationally modest but potentially locally decisive,” energy systems engineer Fengqi You with Cornell University said in an email. While data centers aren’t the U.S.’ largest water gobblers, a single large campus can still place stress on a smaller municipal area.

The centers are also powered by tremendous amounts of electricity, particularly larger ones, raising concerns about where that energy will come from. Data centers could account for 11.8% of the U.S.' electricity consumption by 2030, according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Report.

“We’re talking about building electric infrastructure on a scale of entire cities, or in some cases, entire states just to serve one data center,” said Erik Nordman, director of Michigan State University’s Institute of Public Utilities.

About two-thirds of U.S. adults support requiring data centers to use clean energy sources, such as wind or solar, to supply their electricity needs. About 8 in 10 Democrats support this, along with 56% of Republicans.

Still, some Americans say data center worries feel distant. Mary Fisher, 68, hasn't seen any come up in her Jacksonville, Florida, neighborhood.

“You know, it hasn’t come across my desk as something I should be concerned about,” said Fisher, who

Retail sales top forecasts, see 1.2% bounce in August

Americans continue to spend despite skyrocketing gas costs

By Anne D'Innocenzio ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Consumers may be griping about higher prices at the pump and elsewhere, but they keep spending, helping to power the economy, according to the latest government snapshot.

Retail sales rebounded at a better-than-expected 1.2% increase in August after recording a revised 0.5% fall in July, according to Commerce Department data released Wednesday. Economists were anticipating a 0.7% gain for the month, according to FactSet.

The decline in July was notable because there had been few signs of fatigue from U.S. consumers. Americans spent heavily during the World Cup and Amazon Prime Day sales this summer. That followed solid retail sales in April and May as Americans dipped into their government tax refunds.

Even excluding business at gas stations, retail sales rose 1.1% in August, underscoring the resilience of the American consumer. The government figures aren't adjusted for inflation. The roar back in spending is happening even as consumer confidence took another hit in July, according to the latest reading by the Conference Board.

Much of the strength in retail last month reflected a bounce back in nonstore sales, which declined sharply in July, according to economists. That was “seasonal noise” driven by shifts from July to June in the timing of Amazon’s Prime Day shopping event, which also coincides with heavy promotions from other major online retailers, according to Michael Pearce, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. Rising gas prices also propped up gasoline station sales, he said.

But even accounting for these factors, gains in most spending categories were “decent,” led by discretionary sectors such as food services, electronics, and sports and recreation, Pearce wrote.

“American consumers are still opening their wallets and buying,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, wrote in a report published

Wednesday. "August retail sales showed a big bounce back after a weak July."

The so-called control group — which excludes food services, autos, building materials and gas station sales and is used to calculate economic growth — rose a strong 1.4% last month from the prior month.

Many Americans continue to spend despite skyrocketing gas prices that have accompanied renewed fighting in the Middle East. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline rose overnight to \$4.37 Wednesday, according to AAA. That is about 47% more than a gallon cost before the war began, when it cost less than \$3.

Diesel has risen even faster, up 68%.

The Labor Department reported Friday that consumer prices rose 3.4% last month from a year earlier, and they're up 0.4% from July, quadrupling the 0.1% registered in the previous month.

Still, Americans have grown more selective about what they buy, according to retailers who reported their quarterly financial results in the past few weeks, but some, like Walmart and Macy's, are using a portion of their tariff refunds from the government to lower prices.

Crunchy, gooey experience

Global customers crave more textures in food, challenging companies to innovate items

By Dee-Ann Durbin ASSOCIATED PRESS

Texture is having a crunchy, gooey moment in the food and beverage industry.

For many people, the way a menu item or packaged snack feels in the mouth has become as big a draw as flavor, although consumers don't always recognize the part texture plays in their cravings for crispier takeout, frothier coffees and juicier candies, according to industry experts.

The importance of “mouthfeel,” a food science term for oral sensation, has inspired new products like Starbucks’ Aerocano, an air-whipped iced espresso; PowerCrunch, a waferlike protein bar; and Trolli Gummi Pops, which are frozen but soft and chewy.

“Texture drives consumer behavior. It plays a key emotional role in the eating experience, shaping satisfaction, perception and repeat interest,” Ingredion, an Illinois-based ingredient provider, said in a recent report.

The company, which has 35 food labs around the world, said the trend is a global one. Stretchy yogurt is a fast-growing seller in China, while Swedish confectioner Cloetta just released Sprinkled Foamies, which have a crunchy coating and a marshmallow center.

“It’s not just about flavor anymore. People are thinking about the whole experience,” said Tana Davila, the chief marketing officer at Dutch Bros Coffee. The drive-thru U.S. beverage chain lets customers customize their drinks with toppings like the Soft Top, a sweet and creamy whipped foam, and juice-filled pearls that pop when bitten.

Texture is so integral to the act of eating that people often describe how a food feels when they're asked how it tastes, said Patrick Kalotis, the executive vice president of texture and healthful solutions at Ingredion.

"You know, 'This drink is fizzy' or 'I love the creaminess of the yogurt,'” Kalotis said. "They think they're talking about taste, and of course the texture helps propagate the taste, but they're actually describing texture."

Food makers have long played with consistency.

Pillowy Japanese mochi and stretchy Turkish ice cream date back centuries.

Bubble tea, with its chewy tapioca boba pearls, was invented in Taiwan in the 1980s. In the 1990s, high-end European restaurants whipped up culinary foams flavored with things like truffle oil or lobster broth.

But interest in texture has exploded in recent years, said Jenny Zegler, the principal strategist for food and drink at market research company Mintel.

The coronavirus pandemic elevated interest in texture because COVID-19 caused many people to temporarily lose their sense of smell and taste, said Shannon Weiner, senior director of consumer insights at candy company Ferrara. In 2020, the Chicago-based company debuted Nerds Gummy Clusters, a sweet round gummy coated in crunchy Nerds candy.

Weiner said layers of texture create contrasts, which heighten people's perceptions of indulgence and quality and encourage them to pay closer attention to what they're eating.

"It's a world of overstimulation that we're living in, right?" Weiner said. "Often-times, if consumers are snacking as they're scrolling or going through these mindless activities, texture can help break through and help stimulate and offer a sensory engagement."

Fuel prices drive UK inflation to 5-month high

By Pan Pylas

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Inflation in the United Kingdom rose to a five-month high as aftershocks from the Iran war continue to ratchet up fuel prices, official figures showed Wednesday, an increase that will pressure the Bank of England to hike interest rates again over coming months.

The Office for National Statistics said rising prices at the pump and for airfares were largely behind the increase in the U.K.'s consumer prices index to 3.1% in August from 2.9% the month before. The increase moved inflation further away from the Bank of England's 2% inflation target.

However, rate-setters are widely expected to keep the bank's main interest rate at $3.75\%$ when they conclude their meeting Thursday as a majority of the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee appear to want to see whether higher prices are feeding into higher wages that could further stoke inflationary pressures. A soft labor market is currently keeping wage demands in check.

“August’s inflation increase is unlikely to trigger a rate hike tomorrow,” said Suren Thiru, chief economist at ICAEW. “However, it will probably harden the Bank’s hawkish tone and leave the door open to higher rates later this year.”

Interest rates in the U.K. had been trending downward from a 15-year high of 5.25% until the U.S. and Israel attacked

Iran in late February. The Iran war led to sharp increases in oil and gas prices, partly because the crucial Strait of Hormuz has been largely closed to traffic ever since.

As well as impacting the cost of personal loans and mortgages, the uptick in interest rate expectations is a growing problem for the British government as the servicing of its debt accounts for a higher proportion of its spending.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham insisted the British economy is still showing “resilience across the board” and that next month’s annual budget statement would take a prudence-first approach.

"We won't take risks with people's living standards or with the economy as a whole," he said.

EU to weigh social media ban for kids under age 13

By Sam McNeil and Kelvin Chan ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — The European Union's top official proposed Wednesday banning children younger than 13 across the 27-nation bloc from using social media sites and imposing limits for older teens on accessing the platforms.

The plan outlined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen adds to global efforts to protect young people using platforms such as Instagram and TikTok from online harm.

“I am aware that many perceive the power of Big Tech as overwhelming and impossible to roll back. I disagree,” von der Leyen said in her annual State of the European Union speech in Strasbourg, France.

“We do not have to accept addictive features. We do not have to accept children being drawn into ever more extreme content. We do not have to accept that girls have their photos used for AI-generated sexualized images.”

Von der Leyen said that under her proposal “mini accounts” chaperoned by guardians would be granted to kids ages 13 to 15, with limits on features and the amount of time they can be accessed. For those 15 to 18, platforms will need to provide a “safe design,” she said. Further details are expected Thursday.

The EU's member nations still need to debate and vote on the proposal, which could take years and spark tensions with President Donald Trump, who has long criticized Europe's tech regulations.

Brando Benifei, an Italian member of the European Parliament, said he supported the plan and that Brussels shouldn't shy away from a showdown with U.S. tech companies. "To apply this, you need to confront in a very frontal way the interests of platforms and Big Tech who are not happy with this," he said.

ZUCKERBERG DISTANCES META FROM CALLS FOR AI SLOWDOWN

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it's up to each AI company to make sure its technology is safe, distancing himself from calls by rival companies for a coordinated slowdown in the development of advanced artificial intelligence.

The comments Zuckerberg posted on social media followed a proposal from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei that quickly found support from tech leaders including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk at SpaceXAI.

Warnings from researchers about the technology's potential threats to humanity have sparked a debate among industry leaders over how best to rein in the technology before it could escape human control.

AI companies are already motivated to develop their models in a safe way, Zuckerberg said. — Associated Press

OPENAI MULLS NEW FINANCING AT VALUATION OF \$1.5 TRILLION

OpenAI is considering a new funding round that would value the giant artificial intelligence startup at about \$1.5 trillion in advance of its planned initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

If successful, it would roughly double OpenAI's most recent private valuation of \$730 billion, crowning the ChatGPT maker as the world's most valuable privately held company.

The people familiar with the discussions stressed that no decisions had been made.

Investors recently approached OpenAI with a proposal to invest in the startup at a \$1.2 trillion valuation, according to the people. But OpenAI believes it should be given a value of at least \$1.5 trillion. OpenAI generated over \$40 billion in annualized revenue last month, roughly double its sales figure at the end of last year. — The New York Times

JAPAN RECORDS TRADE DEFICIT FOR 4TH CONSECUTIVE MONTH

TOKYO — Japan's trade deficit totaled \$7 billion last month as surging oil prices due to Mideast conflicts sent the cost of imports soaring. It was the fourth straight month of red ink, according to the Finance Ministry's preliminary data Wednesday.

Resource-poor Japan imports virtually all its oil. Previously that came mostly through the Strait of Hormuz. Japan's imports in August rose 28% from the same month a year ago to \$71.9 billion, as the price of oil soared. Japan's exports rose 19.3% to \$64.5 billion, mainly in computer chips and autos.

Japan's exports to the U.S. grew $24.9\%$ from the previous year, while imports from the U.S. rose $55.2\%$ . Japan's exports to the Middle East declined $5.2\%$ , while imports from that region fell $4.2\%$ . Japan's exports to Europe edged up $11\%$ , while imports gained $20.4\%$ . — Associated Press

REPUBLICANS SEE MORE BENEFITS

About a quarter of U.S. adults say data centers are “extremely” or “very” beneficial when it comes to technological advancement, and about 2 in 10 say the same about job creation. Many U.S. adults say data centers are “somewhat” beneficial or aren’t sure, while about one-quarter say they’re “not very” or “not at all” beneficial for technological advancement, and about a third don’t see a benefit for job creation.

"I see a huge increase in the number of temporary construction workers that are coming to areas, which is vitally important to the U.S. economy," Tapia from Virginia said.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to see data centers' benefits. But about 3 in 10 Republicans still think the centers are “not very” or “not at all” beneficial for improved infrastructure and job creation. Kebede, the computer science student, said he feels pressured to use artificial intelligence. Despite his concerns surrounding the technology, he still wants to be a competitive applicant for the jobs of the future.

Trump has needled America's northern neighbor repeatedly since he returned to the White House. First, it was comments last year about wanting to absorb Canada as the 51st state. After trade negotiations broke down in August, he taunted Prime Minister Mark Carney and signed an executive order to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.

The lost sales and higher prices for materials and equipment that Kehler buys from Canada are tough to swallow when the war with Iran has made fuel for Jasper Hill Farm's trucks and machinery more expensive too, he said.

Some of his suppliers and distributors are adding surcharges to cover their costs, he said.

“It’s like death by a thousand cuts, because between the rising cost of energy and the tariffs, the inflationary pressure on the inputs across almost every aspect of our business — from the farming side all the way through to finished goods — is just being ratcheted up,” Kehler said.

expenses. Shipping costs for imported components are two to three times what they were before the war, Sotos said.

"At times, this aspect of the global situation acts as a silent killer for small to medium businesses," she said. "Just as you figure out how to manage the increase from tariffs, you get the second punch to the gut with the shipping estimate."

BRITISH COLUMBIA BEEKEEPER

A new tariff on Canadian honey that the U.S. started charging in August came as a blow to beekeepers like Peter Awram, CEO of the family-owned Worker Bee Honey Co. in Rosedale, British Columbia. The U.S. was the market for about 60% of Canadian honey export volume, he said.

Clients in the U.S. make up about half of Revival Stillworks' business. With rising oil prices during the war driving up shipping costs, many already were evaluating whether they should move forward with projects that involve imported equipment, Lane said.

The reciprocal $50\%$ tariff that Carney's government slapped on American-made honey does nothing to help because an influx from India and China of fake honey diluted with rice syrup has created pricing pressure on both sides of the border; said Awram, who began beekeeping more than 50 years ago.

Now, the company's stills, fermenters and other products incur a 50% tax for crossing the border, co-founder Darcy Lane said. The customs charges are considerable because the equipment costs \$250,000 to \$2 million, Lane said.

Sotos said she isn't sure if customers are worried about unexpected import charges or if the stumbling block is "just optics with the United States" and how the country is perceived in Canada at the moment.

VANCOUVER ISLAND MANUFACTURER

Cassandra Sotos is co-owner and CEO of AmpRx, a company in Nashville, Tennessee, that manufactures devices for musicians and recording studios to measure and adjust the voltage moving from a power outlet into a guitar amplifier.

“Most of what Canada is now tariffing is not American honey,” he said. “It is other countries’ honey carrying American paperwork.”

Revival Stillworks makes equipment for distilling liquor like vodka, agave and whisky and helps design spaces for producing craft spirits from the company's base on Vancouver Island, less than 20 miles from Washington state's San Juan Island.

Until last month, the equipment could enter the U.S. tariff-free under the

“We’ve got millions of dollars worth of orders that are supposed to be happening over the next four to six months, and then all of a sudden this happens again,” he said, recalling how a U.S. customer called off a project last year when Trump threatened to put tariffs on some Canadian products.

He and his partner are looking into other kinds of work. Since they employ engineers, welders and fabricators, their business could service the local marine industry, Lane said.

“Hopefully, cooler heads prevail and everything works out, and we can continue along as business as normal,” he said. “But if not, we have to put a contingency plan in place anyway.”

Like Kehler, Sotos thinks the U.S.-Canada trade war is having a chilling effect.

Although the majority of her company's sales are within the U.S., Sotos counts musicians around the world as customers. The new U.S. tariffs do not apply to her bestselling product, a power adapter priced from \$400 to \$1,400, but demand from Canadian customers has

As a small business, “any piece of the puzzle that gets taken away from us is significant,” Sotos said. “There’s just as many guitar players in Canada as there are in the United States. And I’m currently only able to get to a tiny percentage of them because of all of this.”

She feels like trade policies are hampering AmpRx's growth at a time when fighting in the Middle East has brought unexpected

Most Canadian beekeepers will likely try to increase their domestic sales, which could flood the market with honey and further depress prices, Awram said.

"The industry was in a precarious state before the tariff," Awram said. "If this tariff stays in place for long, it will put a large number of commercial beekeepers out of business."

Officials: Saudis seeking missile help

Kingdom reaches out to allies after attacks from Houthis, others

By Samy Magdy, Suzan Fraser and Munir Ahmed ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO — Saudi Arabia is running low on missile interceptors and has turned to regional and Western allies for assistance as its standoff with Houthi rebels in Yemen drags on, two regional officials said Wednesday.

The officials said the Saudis have asked Britain, Egypt, France and Pakistan to deploy air-defense support to the region to help defend against missiles and drones fired by Houthis and other Iran-backed groups.

The outreach was initiated because Saudi Arabia's main ally and arms supplier, the United States, has seen its own stock of interceptors dwindle over the course of a six-month war with Iran, one official said.

Both spoke on condition of anonymity.

Saudi officials did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.

The fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis is the latest front to erupt as a result of the Iran war.

On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia accused the Houthis of trying to attack Islam's holiest city with a drone; the region responded with condemnation but no sign of military support.

The kingdom declared Mecca, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, a “red line” and said it had intercepted the drone.

The Houthis denied targeting Mecca, about 680 miles from Yemen's border.

With the world's biggest oil exporter under fire from rebels backed by the Saudis' regional adversary, the kingdom needs a safe outlet for its crude as well as military assistance. There's no clear path to either.

A crucial Saudi pipeline has been shut down, reportedly for weeks, after an attack by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The Houthis have been targeting infrastructure in the kingdom and its shipping on the Red Sea, where they have seized several islands in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Oil prices remain above \$100 a barrel.

The shutdown of the Saudi

East-West pipeline risks keeping 4% of the world's oil supply from reaching international markets and driving energy prices even higher.

One of the regional officials said Saudi Arabia is in a “very difficult position,” since it has to protect not only its military bases and vital government installations, but also oil facilities across the kingdom.

The second official said Saudi Arabia is also seeking to rally its international allies to launch a collective response against the Houthis.

“But the decision now is to give diplomacy a chance,” the official said, adding that Oman and Egypt are leading efforts for de-escalation in Yemen.

Last weekend, Oman hosted a meeting between U.S. and Houthi representatives to discuss the regional tensions, said two people familiar with the matter, including a Houthi official. They gave no further details and spoke on condition of anonymity.

On Tuesday, the British prime minister's spokesman, Tom Wells, confirmed the U.K. has a “close defense partnership” with Saudi Arabia.

But he declined to say whether Saudi Arabia has asked for military assistance, or say whether British troops are in the country.

U.S. and NATO officials have previously acknowledged a critical shortage of missile interceptors in Europe, raising questions about Europe's ability to assist.

A Turkish government official said Turkey was engaged in talks with Iran and the United Arab Emirates to try to lower tensions.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not provide further details.

The attacks are the first test of a new defense pact among Saudi Arabia, NATO member Turkey and nuclear power Pakistan.

But officials from Turkey and Pakistan told The Associated Press they have not received a Saudi request for support in response to the Houthis' escalation.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

Amid the condemnation of the attempted attack on Mecca, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said his country and the Saudis stand “unwaveringly, shoulder to shoulder.”

Turkey's foreign minister expressed solidarity and said no country can “remain indifferent,” state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The United States has sold billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia and has committed to other support, but top U.S. officials have indicated a lack of desire to get involved in the conflict.

When asked whether Saudi Arabia had requested intervention, a U.S. official said the U.S. military's Central Command has a task force in place for “enhancing intelligence sharing and planning support with Saudi forces.”

The U.S. military hosted senior military leaders from eight countries last week at a conference in Germany to discuss “opportunities for enhancing security cooperation in the Middle East,” the official also said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official did not confirm which countries attended.

Without offering evidence, the Houthis claimed Wednesday that they shot down an F-15 fighter jet operated by the Saudi-backed coalition over Yemen's central province of Marib.

Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree didn't say when it occurred, and the AP could not independently verify the claim. The rebels at times take days to claim attacks.

Spokespeople for the Saudi-led coalition and the Saudi government didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

House votes for 3rd time to end US war with Iran

GOP resistance rises to 7 lawmakers since Mideast strife began

By Lisa Mascaro ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — For a third time, the U.S. House has voted to end the war in Iran, approving a war powers resolution that would halt President Donald Trump's ability to continue military action without congressional approval.

The roll call late Tuesday, 220-204, was similar to earlier efforts this summer, with a few more Republicans joining all Democrats voting to bring an end to the conflict. None of the resolutions have made it to the president's desk, where Trump would almost certainly veto the measure.

“Remember when Donald Trump said that this war would last just a few weeks?” said Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who served as a Marine during the Iraq War and pushed the resolution forward.

He said it's time for Congress to "actually ask tough questions, as the

Constitution directs us to do, rather than be subservient to another warmongering administration.”

Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, questioned which military resources Democrats would want to remove from the region where he said Iran remains a threat.

Mast said Trump is against “forever wars, and that is what he is ending” — the decades of hostilities from Iran.

“They are a continuous ongoing threat to the United States,” Mast said. “Enough is enough.”

The action is likely the last House vote on the Iran war ahead of the midterm elections, where the conflict overseas is playing a substantial role in the political campaigns. The war that Trump launched Feb. 28 has dragged, with on-again, off-again deadly missile strikes being exchanged and causing havoc in the region for nearly seven months.

Lawmakers are heading home at the end of the week to campaign nearly full time, with less than 50 days to go before the elections that will determine control of Congress as Democrats try to wrest power from Republicans.

Voters are confronting high prices, particularly for gas at the pumps, as the conflict disrupts the flow of oil resources through the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday that the war has cost more than \$38 billion, as of Aug. 1, and is projected to be costing \$2 billion to \$3 billion monthly, depending on the intensity of the fighting.

The budget office projected inflation will be 0.5 percentage points higher than expected heading into 2027 due to the war.

Trump had promised not to involve the U.S. in foreign wars when he won a second term in the White House, and his actions against Iran are weighing on the Republican Party that controls the House and Senate. Most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting, according to an AP-NORC poll in July.

In the previous House actions, four Republicans voted to halt the war in Iran, but that number rose to seven in Tuesday's war powers vote, including GOP lawmakers from battleground Iowa, Rep. Zachary Nunn and Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and retiring Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

They joined GOP Reps. Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky voting in favor of the war powers resolution, with all Democrats.

Nunn had previously voted against the resolution and campaigned with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last month in Iowa, and the Pentagon chief had lauded Nunn as an ally who didn't need any last-minute, late-night phone calls from Trump to persuade him to support the president's agenda.

But in a display of how much pressure Republicans in vulnerable districts are facing, Nunn, an Air Force veteran, posted on social media: "With the negotiating window closed, sustained combat operations now require congressional authorization. I will not support another open-ended war."

The House first approved a war powers resolution in June, and followed up with another one in July, all seeking to halt U.S. action in Iran.

The Senate on its 10th try also approved a war powers resolution to end the conflict, but GOP senators quickly reversed course the next day after Trump berated them during a closed-door lunch.

While the Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war, it also gives the president authority as the commander in chief to engage in some military actions. The War Powers Act, created in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, sought to put a more specific time limit on the president's power, requiring congressional approval for sustained military actions after 60 or 90 days.

Barrier added around Kennedy Center building

By Matthew Daly and Nathan Ellgren ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Fencing went up Wednesday around the main Kennedy Center building, a day after the Trump-aligned board voted to close most of the performing arts center for repairs. And a Democratic congresswoman who is a trustee quickly sought an emergency court hearing to prevent what she called the “unlawful closing.”

That vote came after a federal judge blocked the institution from returning President Donald Trump's name to the building.

The Republican president had said in a social media post that the closure was needed for safety repairs. But he said the repairs, which Congress has allocated \$257 million to cover, would only happen if the board was permitted to move forward with plans to add his name to the building.

Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, an ex-officio member of the

Kennedy Center board, requested an emergency court hearing Wednesday regarding what she called Trump's “unlawful closure of the Kennedy Center.” Beatty has led efforts to block Trump's name from being added to the building, and had a confrontation with Trump on Tuesday during a virtual board meeting.

A staff member for a legal team representing Beatty was denied entrance to the building Wednesday, Beatty's lawyers said in a court filing. The staffer “was informed by several security staff members that the building is currently closed to the public,” the filing said.

“Given the unexplained and unlawful closure, it is possible Defendants intend to undertake immediate steps in order to make public access practically impossible for the foreseeable future, including by demolishing public avenues of access to the building, and thereby evade the court’s order,” the filing said.

US officials swiftly deploy medical AI

But projects raising concerns on safety, investors' influence

By Christina Jewett THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Trump administration is accelerating efforts to make artificial intelligence an integral part of medical care in the United States, throwing the resources and support of the federal government into projects that deploy AI agents to diagnose and prescribe treatments to patients.

The multifront effort at the Department of Health and Human Services has raised concerns among some officials over the past few months that change is moving too quickly, with inadequate evidence of the technology's safety and effectiveness, according to people who have been involved the discussions. They also worry about outsized influence of Silicon Valley investors that have previously played little role in federal health policy.

Vinod Khosla, a billionaire Silicon Valley venture capitalist whose son has a healthcare AI company, has been particularly influential in conversations with top health department officials, according to people close to the matter.

Those officials include Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of Medicare and Medicaid. Chris Klomp, who has been nominated to be the second-in-command at the health department, said on a podcast in May that the use of AI in patient care was the “holy grail” in the agency’s quest to improve the nation’s health and reduce costs.

Khosla has predicted for more than a decade that AI would largely replace doctors. "It's over for doctors, human doctors," he said at a July AI startup event. "AI is just going to be better."

In an interview, Khosla trumpeted Curai Health, his son's company, which he has backed financially, saying it could offer an AI primary care provider that could give underserved people rapid access to care.

“CMS seems to be very excited,” Khosla said, referring to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Concerns about the dangers of AI, and calls to regulate it, have erupted in recent days as some top executives of AI labs have called for slowing the pace of development. In medicine, doctors are increasingly relying on AI for help with administrative tasks, but the prospect of AI taking over physician roles in assessing and treating patients is unnerving to some.

Models meant to render care independently to patients “are not ready for primetime,” said Dr. John Whyte, CEO of the American Medical Association, the nation’s largest physicians organization.

He said the evidence that Khosla and others have cited as showing AI's superiority to doctors — including in a recent essay in an American

Medical Association publication whose authors included Khosla and his son, Neal

— was not convincing and largely based on simulations.

"AI in health should not be driven by the tech industry," Whyte said. "It should be driven by the clinical community. And right now, what we have going on is that tech is the tail wagging the dog."

Grace Davis Jamison, a health department spokesperson, said the department was taking a “responsible, evidence-based approach” to AI deployment and “expanding its use as the evidence demonstrates value.”

As part of the effort, federal health officials are working on developing a new payment category for Medicare, the federal health program that covers more than 60 million older Americans, to reimburse companies for AI software that supports medical care or diagnosis. Medicare officials have urged private insurers covering about 165 million Americans to reimburse for “technology-supported care,” including some AI projects, if they improve care and cut costs.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved more than 1,500 medical devices that include AI to perform discrete tasks, such as spotting a tumor or a blood clot. But the agency does not have rules built to address newer models, such as chatbots or so-called agentic AI that perform tasks that a doctor would do, such as prescribing a drug.

Jamison said the FDA was examining how its rules should change to keep up with AI systems “that operate with greater autonomy.”

The FDA is still discussing how it should regulate complex AI models that change over time and perform actions like prescribing. The task is daunting. The agency would have to manage the risks of large-language models; one was already accused of giving “dangerous” medical advice to a man who delayed care for a life-threatening blood clot.

It would also have to contemplate whether AI doctors could go rogue in a manner akin to the OpenAI agents that coordinated a hacking campaign on a company called Hugging Face.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, has publicly acknowledged the risks, but said during a congressional hearing in April that AI was “going to revolutionize medicine.”

One of his sons, Finn, started a venture capital fund this year that says it “builds and invests in generational health companies” and was reported to have solicited funds to invest in healthcare AI.

Last year, Finn Kennedy worked for 8VC, a venture capital firm run by Joe Lonsdale, a billionaire ally of President Donald Trump's; the younger Kennedy co-authored articles at the firm, saying that AI doctors "won't work for free," suggesting that the companies that create the technology should be paid. He laid out the federal overhaul needed to deploy them, which included appointing a person at the FDA to focus specifically on artificial intelligence.

Within the administration, conversations about AI in medicine have continued, including on whether to pay AI doctors operated by tech companies and startups as much as 60% to 80% of what human doctors earn for the same service, according to a person involved.

Other projects offer payment based on whether they demonstrate benefits to patients and cost savings to Medicare.

One of them is from the company Limbic, offering cognitive behavioral therapy to Medicare beneficiaries who were diagnosed with depression or anxiety.

The company, which was backed by the elder Khosla, was selected by the FDA to participate in a Medicare AI pilot.

In it, an AI counselor, which has a female voice and uses the name “Hope,” offers an hourlong session each week with check-ins as needed.

A study by company scientists and engineers that was published in the journal Nature Medicine found that clinicians who were unaware if they were reviewing a therapy transcript led by a human or a chatbot concluded that the Limbic AI outperformed humans and a general chatbot.

Ross Harper, Limbic's CEO, said that one clinician would supervise thousands of AI therapists.

"It is a moral issue to get this out into the hands of people who can't access care," said Harper, who holds a doctorate in computational neuroscience.

He added: “We have to remind ourselves: What are we comparing this against? We’re comparing it against no treatment, a long wait list.”

LA news chopper covering bus collision crashes in dual tragedy

By Ashley Duong and Hallie Golden ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — A motorist was arrested on murder charges after authorities say she slammed her SUV into a city bus in Los Angeles, killing at least two people and injuring six others in a prelude to a second deadly tragedy: the fiery crash Tuesday night of a TV news helicopter that was covering the collision.

Bailee Lynn Rios, 36, of Simi Valley, was arrested Tuesday night and is being held at a Los Angeles jail with bail set at \$4 million, police said. The case is being forwarded to the district attorney's office, which will decide whether to file the charges in court or pursue different ones. Information on a lawyer who could speak on her behalf wasn't immediately available.

The helicopter, which was used by NBC and Telemundo, crashed about two hours after police say Rios drove her 2004 Ford Expedition the wrong way down a busy avenue, ran a red light and struck a vehicle before hitting the bus. One passenger was fully ejected from the bus and another was partially ejected, police said.

NBC4 Los Angeles reported that two people aboard the helicopter — reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw — were killed when the aircraft went down Tuesday in the Chatsworth neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley north of downtown. Both were employees of Angel City Air, which operated the helicopter for the station.

A person on the ground, identified as Edy Gutierrez Mejia, 29, died in a parking lot, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office said.

There were no immediate details on what caused the helicopter crash, but an alarm could be heard sounding inside the helicopter's cockpit as it lost altitude in the final seconds of video that the crew broadcast before the crash.

Just after the beeping noise starts, a woman's voice says "uh oh." The helicopter moves quickly away from the bus crash site and starts losing altitude. The woman says "You can't pull up?" before the video stops as the chopper nears the ground.

The helicopter, a Eurocopter AS350, went down near a large storage facility. At least four cars and two storage containers burned after the helicopter caught fire. NBC4 reporter Robert Kovacik was at the bus scene and saw black smoke and rushed to the helicopter crash site.

“I think a lot of us are still trying to process what happened, this terrible loss,” NBC4 reporter Lauren Coronado told viewers early Wednesday as she stood near the crash site.

Aviation safety expert Jeff Guzzetti said the alarm sounding in the helicopter's final video sounds like the low rotor RPM warning horn that signals the main rotor is no longer spinning enough to keep the helicopter in the air.

"It just has all the earmarks of a potential loss of engine power and a dangerous decrease in the main rotor speed," said Guzzetti, who used to investigate crashes for both the NTSB and FAA.

Guzzetti said the pilot appeared to be trying to perform an emergency maneuver to use the wind to force the rotor to spin again much like a breeze turns a windmill. Doing that can create a bit of lift that could help cushion the impact, but Guzzetti said there would have been little opportunity to do that because the helicopter had been hovering at a low altitude beforehand.

Russian drone strikes minibus, kills 5 near Ukraine front line

KYIV, Ukraine — A Russian drone struck a passenger bus early Wednesday in southern Ukraine, killing five people and wounding at least seven in the latest in a series of Russian strikes on civilian transportation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack an atrocity with no military purpose.

The strike occurred in the Nikopol district of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, near the war's southern front line.

Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the regional military administration, said that all five were killed at the scene while the seven wounded were receiving medical care.

Zelenskyy described the vehicle as a minibus and said in an X post that the strike had “no military rationale” and that it was “just another atrocity.” He said the strike was connected to Russia’s targeting of logistics and critical infrastructure that has continued “unabated.”

Zelenskyy also said a passenger train was struck in the Mykolaiv region Wednesday, damaging a railway station and a diesel locomotive. Nearly 170 passengers on board the train were evacuated before the strike. An electric locomotive in the northwestern city of Kovel was also struck, Zelenskyy said.

Russian strikes on Ukraine's rail network have resulted in more than 500 locomotives being damaged or destroyed since the beginning of the invasion Feb. 24, 2022, with more than half those strikes occurring this year, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote Tuesday on X.

Sybiha described such attacks as “systematic” and aimed at disrupting logistics across Ukraine. He said that Ukraine urgently needs replacements for damaged locomotives and to assist in financing.

In another post Wednesday, Sybiha said “this is not collateral damage. It is a systematic hunt for people and an attempt to (paralyze) civilian life.”

In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, Zelenskyy pushed back against an earlier claim by President Donald Trump that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to mutually cease attacks on each other's energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was ready to enter such an agreement, if Russia stops striking Ukrainian energy facilities.

Trump said in a social media post Monday that such a truce had been reached, but didn't offer details on the purported agreement. Previous efforts to broker even a partial ceasefire have repeatedly fallen apart within hours, with both sides accusing the other of violations.

In the CBS interview, Zelenskyy said the possibility of an energy truce was discussed during a recent meeting in Kyiv with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, but that he had told them: "If the Russians are ready for an energy truce, that means there will be no attacks on energy facilities at all."

Russia's Defense Ministry said Wednesday that the captain of a Russian warship that fired two signal flares toward a Danish military helicopter on Monday, drawing ire from Denmark, has been awarded a medal for his “competent and resolute action.”

The ministry said in a statement that the Soobrazitelny corvette was on a mission in neutral waters in the Baltic Sea when its crew spotted the approaching helicopter, which failed to respond to calls made via the international communication channel.

"To prevent a provocation by the Danish helicopter, the corvette commander decided to fire two red signal flares, after which the helicopter left the area where the Russian warship was located," the ministry said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday that Moscow has no aggressive intentions toward Europe, but that if countries on the continent were to launch an attack on Russia, “it would be a completely different kind of war, and a very short one.”

Meanwhile, in the northern city of Sumy, six people were injured in a Russian guided aerial bomb attack, including a 14-year-old girl, said Oleh Hryhorov, head of the Sumy regional military administration. Two homes were destroyed and 10 others damaged in the strikes.

Hague court sentences ex-leader of Kosovo to 25 years for war crimes

FROM NEWS SERVICES

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Kosovo's former President Hashim Thaci was sentenced to 25 years in prison Wednesday after being found guilty of war crimes committed during the war for independence from Serbia in 1998-99.

Thaci resigned from office nearly six years ago to face the charges at the European Union-backed Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. He was convicted of four counts of war crimes, including murder, torture, cruel treatment and arbitrary detention.

Both he and the prosecutors, who had asked for a stricter sentence, can appeal.

The judgment sparked anger among Thaci's supporters and was a crushing blow for a man who was once embraced by the West, invited to the 1999 peace talks in France and seen as the leader who could guide Kosovo to independence.

Presiding Judge Charles Smith said Thaci participated in and encouraged crimes, including by promoting individuals involved in crimes, and “showed a ruthless ability to remove and eliminate political impediments” to his and other commanders’ leadership.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca condemned the verdicts as “a terrible judgment for Kosovo, for our people and for our liberation war.”

Hundreds of supporters waited at a park near the courthouse in The Hague, and some clashed briefly with Dutch riot police, who said on X that they detained two people.

In Kosovo's capital, Pristina, thousands of people watched the hearing live on a huge screen and were stunned by the sentence. Some shouted "UCK," the Albanian-language abbreviation for the Kosovo Liberation Army that Thaci once led before entering politics.

Thaci was on trial with three other former KLA leaders who fought Serb forces in the 1998-99 war and are widely regarded as national heroes in Kosovo. They pleaded not guilty to all charges against them.

The four were acquitted on six charges of crimes against humanity but were found guilty of the arbitrary detention of 385 people, cruel treatment of 49, torture of 303 detainees and the murder of 96 people.

Thaci and the other defendants, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi, all maintained their innocence. Veseli was sentenced to 18 years, Selimi to 13 years and Krasniqi to 25 years in prison.

Surgeon general nominee: Dr. Nicole Saphier, President Donald Trump's third surgeon general nominee, was grilled at her Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday about her stance on childhood vaccines, voicing support for immunization as she seeks to serve in an administration that has moved to make sweeping changes to vaccine guidance.

Saphier, a radiologist and former Fox News Channel contributor, faced tough questioning at the hearing about her views on the safety of childhood vaccines by Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, who pressed her to declare whether she believed there was a link between vaccines and autism — which widespread scientific consensus has concluded doesn't exist, yet which the Trump administration has repeatedly pushed to revisit.

"I do not believe childhood vaccines cause autism," Saphier said. She also said "the MMR vaccine is our greatest tool for combating measles," in response to a question by Cassidy over whether parents should give children that shot. MMR stands for measles, mumps and rubella, and the president recently called for the shots to be spaced out.

She suggested support for vaccines as a critical tool to prevent infection and said she appreciated the administration's attempts to address questions and concerns among "the vaccine hesitant people," which Cassidy countered was only creating more confusion.

Saphier is nominated for a position that carries limited policymaking power but serves as a loud megaphone as the nation's top communicator to Americans on public health issues.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Trump have both suggested that childhood vaccines, such as MMR, may play a role in causing autism.

Evidence from decades of studies and real-world use of vaccines have proven there is no link between vaccines and autism.

EU talks with Canada: The European Union has invited Canada to work toward becoming its first “associate member,” a title meant to underscore the nation’s growing closeness to the 27-country bloc as both face deteriorating relationships with the United States.

President Donald Trump has waged a trade war with Canada, challenging its economy. The United States has pulled back support for NATO and Ukraine, leaving the EU scrambling to shore up its defenses.

That vacuum has left the bloc and the nation looking for new partners as the alliances established after World War II shift.

"We must urgently reimagine our partnerships," Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive arm, said Wednesday during an annual speech in Strasbourg, France.

Canada and the EU will meet for a summit at the end of October, when they are expected to lay out more concrete ideas.

Frozen state grants: The Trump administration has cut or frozen up to \$177 billion in federal grants since the president took office for his second term, according to a tracking tool released Wednesday by a pro-democracy nonprofit and a group of researchers and scientists.

The cuts affected all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with health, nutrition, the environment and disaster relief making up the largest share of cuts, the States United Democracy Center and Grant Witness organization found.

Among the grants that were eliminated, frozen or delayed were ones related to maternal health in Michigan, education research in Mississippi and assistance to minority farmers in Iowa. The tracking tool is called Lost Funds.

Sudan mine collapse: The death toll from the collapse of an informal gold mine in a remote area of Sudan has risen to 82, according to local officials and activists, as rescuers struggled Wednesday to search for the missing with limited equipment.

Survivors said the collapse happened at the al-Zara gold mine, in Nuhud, a town in West Kordofan province, which is controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF.

The group has been fighting against the Sudanese military since April 2023. The conflict has killed at least 59,000 people, according to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data, a monitoring group.

Centenarian record: The number of people age 100 or older in Japan surpassed a record 100,000 this year, the latest government figures show, underscoring the country's rapidly aging and declining population.

The Health and Welfare Ministry statistics released Tuesday show Japan now has 107,677 centenarians, up 7,914 from the previous year and exceeding the 100,000 mark for the first time. Nearly 88% of them are women.

House holds Black in contempt of Congress over Epstein inquiry

By Lisa Mascaro ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The House approved a resolution Wednesday holding billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress, referring the matter to the Department of Justice after he defied the Oversight Committee's subpoenas in its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The action was swift, and without a formal vote, and now leaves it to the Justice Department to decide whether to seek criminal prosecution. Black has refused to respond to the subpoenas' requests to appear and to turn over any potential nondisclosure agreements involving the investigation into Epstein.

Republicans and Democrats from the Oversight Committee joined to advance the resolution.

“No one is above the law,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the Oversight Committee chairman, said in a statement. “We will continue to seek transparency for the American people and justice for survivors in our investigation of the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell criminal cases.”

California Rep. Robert Garcia, the panel's top Democrat, called the vote "an important step towards justice and accountability."

Black's lawyers have denounced the Oversight Committee's pursuit of the private equity firm executive as an abuse of congressional power. They said he "had no knowledge of any of Epstein's heinous conduct."

"The Committee has continued to insist on looking for information that does not exist," attorneys Susan Estrich and Aaron Cutler said in a statement.

They called the action “politically motivated” and have sued the committee and asked the Office of Congressional Conduct to open an inquiry into Comer’s tactics.

"This an outrageous action that ignores the facts and the truth about Mr. Black," they said.

Black is the latest among several prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, who have been asked to appear as part of the Oversight Committee's long-running inquiry of Epstein. Survivors of Epstein's alleged sexual abuse have told personal stories of being young women in a trafficking enterprise run by Epstein and his colleague Maxwell. Epstein was also a former friend of Donald Trump before his presidencies.

In June, Black did appear for a voluntary interview at the committee. Lawmakers said he refused to answer their questions about the nondisclosure agreements.

The committee issued two subpoenas seeking to compel Black to produce the NDAs and to appear for a deposition July 16. The committee said it had accommodated Black's request to delay the deposition to Sept. 3, but he refused to appear.

On Tuesday, the Oversight Committee voted unanimously to approve the contempt recommendation, sending it to the full House.

Black co-founded the private equity firm Apollo Global Management and stepped down in 2021 amid the fallout over his ties to Epstein. Lawmakers have alleged that Black paid Epstein \$180 million during their yearslong relationship.

A 2021 review commissioned by Apollo found that Black paid Epstein \$158 million, after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor, for “bona fide tax, estate planning and other related services.”

IS member sentenced to prison for role tied to '21 Afghan airport attack

Defendant Mohammad Sharifullah, seated left, is sketched while listening to government witness Bruce Hoffman testify April 20 in Alexandria, Virginia. DANA VERKOUTEREN

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — An Islamic State group member was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison for aiding the terrorist organization that took credit for a suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members and about 160 Afghans at the Kabul airport five years ago during the American military's chaotic withdrawal from the country.

A federal jury in Virginia had convicted Mohammad Sharifullah in April of providing material support to the IS affiliate known as ISIS-K. But jurors could not agree whether he bore some responsibility for the airport bombing Aug. 26, 2021.

U.S. troops were conducting an evacuation operation at the airport when a suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device near an entry point known as Abbey Gate. Sharifullah's role in the attack was scouting a route to Hamid Karzai International Airport, prosecutors said.

Sharifullah, 28, received the maximum sentence for his one-count conviction in an international terrorism case that President Donald Trump heralded last year during a speech to a joint session of Congress.

Sharifullah did not testify at his trial and declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga imposed the sentence. The judge said the defendant was a “dedicated terrorist” who expressed no remorse for the “unfathomable” grief and suffering that he had caused.

Trenga heard victim impact statements from several parents of the U.S. service members. From a podium only a few feet from where Sharifullah sat, they took turns paying tribute to their children's sacrifices and describing how the attack has shattered their families.

Mark Schmitz of Missouri asked Sharifullah to turn and look at him as he spoke about the life and death of his 20-year-old son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz.

“They may have taken his life, but they’ll never take his legacy,” Schmitz said. “A bomb killed my son. It did not kill what he stood for.”

Paula Knauss-Selph, whose son, Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss, was killed in the Abbey Gate bombing, said the family was “forever changed” by the attack.

“No justice will ever be enough to mend my broken heart,” she said.

Sharifullah requested a 17-year prison sentence, while prosecutors sought 20 years. His lawyers say he was never an ISIS-K leader and has not been convicted of any conduct related to the airport suicide bombing.

"He was brought here because the government believed he participated in the Abbey Gate attack, a theory which it was unable to prove at trial," defense attorneys wrote.

Prosecutors said in their sentencing memo that “from his teenage years, when he pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS-K, Sharifullah’s carnage was driven by hate. Hate towards Americans.”

Jurors convicted Shar- ifullah of providing mate- rial support to ISIS-K. They deadlocked on whether any deaths at the airport “resulted from” that conspiracy. Sharifullah could have faced a possible life sentence if the jury had unanimously decided that question.

According to prosecutors, Sharifullah told a journalist that he wanted to “catch and kill the crusaders” from the United States for invading his country after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. They said Sharifullah was involved in dozens of other attacks, including a March 2024 assault on a Moscow concert hall that killed roughly 140 people.

Defense lawyers argued that prosecutors failed to present any evidence tying Sharifullah to the Kabul bombing besides his own words during hours of FBI questioning.

His team said Sharifullah told FBI agents what he thought they wanted to hear, possibly because he was afraid of being tortured in Pakistani custody before he was brought to the U.S.

A review by U.S. Central Command found that the Abbey Gate bomber was Abdul Rahman al-Logari, an IS member who had been released from an Afghan prison by the Taliban. According to an FBI affidavit, Sharifullah recognized the alleged bomber as an operative he had known while incarcerated.

Former New Yorkers furnish 1937 stone house in Nashville with vintage finds, family heirlooms, their own designs

By Tim McKeough THE NEW YORK TIMES

s they buzzed through their busy days in New York, Will and Kerstin Meyer occasionally dreamed about what

life would be like in a city with more space and less frenetic energy. Those dreams usually involved Nashville, Tennessee, because Will Meyer was born and raised there, and still had family in the city.

"The kids were getting to that age where if we were going to give them that experience, we needed to just do it," said Meyer, 57, adding that the couple's two children are now 17 and 21. But Meyer is a founding partner of Meyer Davis, an architecture and interior design firm headquartered in New York that conceives hotels for brands like Four Seasons, restaurants such as Bar Primi Penn District and private homes, as well as furniture and lighting. So moving out of the city always seemed out of the question.

But in 2019, Meyer's sister called with news that had a major impact on their deliberations: a beautiful stone house in Nashville, designed by architect Edwin Keeble in 1937, had been listed for sale. The Meyers had long admired the home, and when they saw it, they couldn't pass it up. They bought the property for \$2.35 million.

"The house made us decide to move to Nashville," said Kerstin Meyer, 55, who runs a Mexican textile company, Maya Sund.

"I didn't know if it was going to be really easy, or if it would just destroy our company, moving here," Will Meyer said. But when he looked back through his agenda, he realized that he spent about half of this workdays on the road anyway. As Meyer Davis' list of projects grew, the firm had also opened offices in other cities (it now has five satellite offices, in the United States and Europe), and Nashville had direct flights to most of them.

The couple said their new home in Nashville, which is featured in Meyer Davis' new book "The Language of Home," (is the opposite of their former town house in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg. Instead of living in a vertical home connected to neighbors and surrounded by asphalt and concrete, their 4,950-square-foot house in Nashville spreads out long and low across a hilltop, where it's surrounded by gardens designed by Page Landscape.

Make a statement with black-and-white artwork

By Cathy Hobbs TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

When it comes to artwork, few choices can feel as timeless as black and white.

Whether it is a dramatic photograph, an abstract canvas or a simple line drawing, black-and-white art can help create a strong focal point while working beautifully with nearly any color palette.

If you are looking to make a design statement in your own home, here are some top tips.

Go big: An oversized piece of black-and-white art can instantly anchor a room and give it a gallery-like feel. Larger works tend to read as intentional and confident, so do not be afraid to size up.

Black-and-white photography: Black-and-white photography, especially with an unexpected subject, can add personality and

a touch of edge. A single dramatic image can help to set the tone for an entire space.

Pairs: Hanging two coordinating canvases side by side can create the impact of a mural while remaining easy to install. Pairs can also help to visually widen a wall behind a sofa or console.

Embrace abstracts: Abstract black-and-white pieces can make a statement without competing with

the rest of the room. Above a bed or a mantel, they can add movement and interest while keeping the mood serene.

Keep it simple: A black-and-white line drawing can serve as a quiet accent that still feels artful. These pieces can work especially well in neutral rooms where a subtle graphic moment is all that is needed.

Anchor with art: In rooms layered with creams, grays

Black-and-white artwork with gold accents placed above the bed adds movement and interest. COURTESY

and warm woods, black-and-white artwork can provide welcome contrast and definition. It can help to ground the space and pull the palette together.

Parents' mobility issues hinder daughter's preferred trip plans

R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: My husband and I have had many wonderful trips with my parents over the years. We have always invited them on our family vacations with the kids and had a, generally, wonderful time. They are both in their 80s.

I'm grateful that they are still a big part of our lives and are both able to travel, but we have noticed significant changes in their behavior and mobility on the last couple of trips.

Hyper-focusing on money, even though they are well-to-do and insisting they are fine to walk despite suggestions of taking Uber/Lyft or public transportation, making things uncomfortable for everyone.

I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to not be able to do the things you're used to doing, so I thought perhaps the solution was to plan “parent friendly” trips that take into account their slower pace. (They're not aware these trips are any different than our usual trips.)

But they still make comments about joining us on everything. My husband and I love to walk cities and routinely walk 10 to 12 miles a day on trips, so this is definitely not an option for my parents anymore.

I am ready to have trips with just my husband and our adult kids, but I dread the uncomfortable conversations that are to come.

Any suggestions on how to make this easier for them and me?

— Trying Hard to be a Good Daughter

Dear Daughter: The impulse to create “parent friendly” trips is a kind one. And though it makes sense that you might not want to let them know you're trying to plan around their changes in ability, talking openly about it and inviting them to be part of the planning itself might be a helpful next step.

As you plan your next trip, you may want to talk with your parents about your desire to do a day or two of 10- to 12-mile walks and suggest that they, and perhaps other members of the family, come up with a plan for those days that makes them happy and meets them where they are.

This could mean they'd join you for part of the day and then linger at a museum or a park. Or it could mean they do their own thing and then meet up with you for dinner.

The hope is to empower everyone to have the vacation they want. It's totally fine for part of the group to split off for part of the time. And it makes it easier to do so if everyone is on the same page.

This way, you're not having a conversation about limitations; you're having a conversation about what's possible and dreaming together.

Dear Eric: I have a question about social etiquette for how to handle my husband's small company work or holiday parties.

We have been together for 20 years, and his workplace is very aware of my shellfish allergy (which has become life-threatening).

This became common knowledge the first time we were out together due to a simple mistake of cross-contamination in the kitchen and, thank goodness, it was a mild reaction (lips/tongue swelling), but it was still quite scary and embarrassing for me.

For years, the owner of the company and his wife (who also works there) have made sure to keep shellfish off the menu. However, in the last three years, this has changed, and I'm seriously uncomfortable with this new situation.

Unfortunately, my husband is management, and his boss doesn't like it when people don't show up to his parties (he has been known to have drunken rants, a bad attitude, etc.), and neither of us wants to deal with this.

Yet, we don't drink alcohol, and neither of us can eat anything, so I sit there feeling awkward, especially when I'm being pushed to eat and drink.

I don't want to be rude, but I am not about to go into anaphylactic shock just to make him or anyone else happy. Please help me before the next party.

No Party For Me

Dear Party: It's a little odd that the owner and his wife would suddenly stop being conscientious of your allergy. There could be a number of reasons for this, so it may be useful for you to ask them about it. Alternatively, your husband might bring it up, as he's the person with whom they interact on a regular basis.

It's a simple request and surely, as the hosts, they'll understand the usefulness of making sure that everyone is able to enjoy the parties without fearing a medical emergency.

It's also possible that someone else has taken over party-planning duties. If you have a conversation with the owner, it's likely that this will come up and you can reach out to the new party planner with your concerns.

Movie's magic lingers in Washington town

Toby's Tavern served as the exterior for the Catch & Fry in "Practical Magic." MOIRA MACDONALD/SEATTLE TIMES

Visitors see signs of '98 film everywhere in island community

By Moira Macdonald SEATTLE TIMES

The charming Whidbey Island town of Coupeville, Washington, is pleasantly haunted, especially in autumn. Not by ghosts, though, but by a movie.

The arrival of “Practical Magic 2” in theaters is a reminder that, about 28 years ago, a Hollywood film crew descended upon Coupeville’s quiet streets to film the original “Practical Magic,” a drama-comedy-romance-fantasy starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as Sally and Gillian Owens, a pair of beautiful sisters who inherit their matrilineal family’s supernatural powers.

The crew painted a number of storefronts white, added a few new signs and facades (Toby's Tavern, in business since 1938, was restyled as the fish-and-chips shop Catch & Fry) and cast some intrigued locals as extras. After a few weeks of filming and (mostly) agreeable disruption, the crew packed up and left, leaving things just as they were before, as if waving a wand and restoring tranquility.

But movies have a way of lingering, of leaving a tiny bit of themselves in the places where they're filmed. Maybe you've got a favorite place like that — somewhere captured on film that stays forever the same, frozen in time, even as the actual location changes. If you've seen "The Fabulous Baker Boys," you might think of its final scene, on 15th and Pine on Capitol Hill in Seattle, where Jeff Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer maybe find a happy ending. Though the neighborhood now looks nothing like it did then, I always think of them when I'm in the area, as if their invisible footsteps somehow stayed behind. It's a tiny little moment of magic.

There are footsteps and moments like that all over Seattle: the bar stools at the Athenian restaurant where Tom Hanks and Rob Reiner once perched in “Sleepless in Seattle”; the Capitol Hill apartment building where the “Singles” gang lived; the autumn-leaf-strewn South Seattle streets of “Know Your Place.” Those memories can pop up unexpectedly: Just the other day, I was in a boat on Lake Union and someone looked at Gas Works Park and made a “10 Things I Hate About You” paintball reference. Life goes on, but the movies hold still, letting us carry them with us.

Released in theaters in October 1998 (appropriately for Halloween season), "Practical Magic" is an odd little movie — it's a strange mélange of genres, and occasionally its performers seem to be acting in different movies — but one thing it's extremely good at is creating a world that you want to be a part of. Sally and Gillian, later joined by Sally's young daughters (played by Evan Rachel Wood and Alexandra Artrip), live in a fairy-tale Victorian house with their eccentric aunts (Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing). It's a Victoria magazine dream of a home, filled with candlelight and dried flowers and far more decorative glass vessels than seem absolutely necessary, with a verdant garden that looks out over an impossibly blue bay, and the film's various sister pairings giggling irresistibly together, drinking midnight margaritas and casting spells and adorably flinging their hair around.

And Coupeville, playing the role of the small New England town in which the house is located (which it actually isn't; more on that a little later), gives a performance of uncanny charm.

While the town doesn't get an enormous amount of screen time — much of the action takes place in interior shots of the aunts' home — all that white paint didn't go to waste. You can practically feel the breezes off the water as Bullock and Aidan Quinn (as a detective investigating a crime too spoiler-y to explain here) converse in front of a picture-perfect bay, with an impeccably cued sailboat gliding up between them. And Front Street looks like everyone's dream of a small-town business district, with white picket fences, a bustling farmers market and every window sparkling.

Inspired by the arrival of “Practical Magic 2” (filmed, alas, thousands of miles from the Pacific Northwest; specifically, in Hertfordshire, England), I visited Coupeville this summer, on a very hot Tuesday that seemed a world away from crisp leaves and Halloween.

It wasn't really the right time to go: “Practical Magic” takes over the town in October during Practically Magic Halloween, with special movie-themed events, including a scavenger hunt, a parade, a street dance, guided “Practical Magic” walking tours, a pumpkin race and, of course, multiple screenings of the film.

So I wasn't expecting much in July, other than a pretty town and a nice place to have lunch. And yet, "Practical Magic," despite the season, was everywhere. It was in the self-guided walking tour brochure that you can pick up at the visitor's center, which meticulously lists every Coupeville building that can be seen in the film, and its role in real life then and now. It was in the shops that, 28 years later, do a brisk business in "Practical Magic" T-shirts and DVDs and sticker books and tote bags. It was in the storefronts that still look like they did in the movie,

even though Verbena Botanicals, the shop where Bullock's character sold her handcrafted tonics and lotions, is now an enticing Mexican restaurant. It was in the painted ice-cream-cone sign hanging over Kapaws Iskreme shop — which wasn't an ice cream shop at the time of the filming, but now uses a sign made for the movie.

And it was in that lovely, slightly shivery feeling I had of somehow knowing this place, as if I'd been there before, even though it was my first time in Coupeville. Movies can make us feel like we've traveled somewhere, like someplace else is our home for two hours. And if they do their job right, we remember the journey, tucked away somewhere in memory, just needing a bit of familiar scenery to retrieve it.

One thing, however, wasn't there on my visit, and never was. The aunts' beautiful Victorian house by the water, from which we see Bullock running directly to Front Street along a picturesque waterfront pathway, never existed in Coupeville. (The pathway is there, but it leads to a park and a private home, presumably occupied by people who I'm sure are very tired of visitors asking where the Owens house is.) It was an elaborate empty shell, built for the movie on a waterfront setting on San Juan Island and then destroyed after filming; its lovely interiors were created on Hollywood soundstages. Though rumor has it that Barbra Streisand, after seeing the film, called up the producers to ask about buying the house, it wasn't meant to last. The house was a pretty picture, long gone.

I knew all this before I went to Coupeville, and yet I couldn't help looking up on the bluff, wondering if the ghost of that house might just be there, glowing quietly on an autumn night. The thing about movies is ... well, they're magic.

Take advantage of plants with defenses to keep critters away

There's little worse in a gardener's mind than watching their careful planning and hard work go up in a cloud of teeth, thanks to every four-legged freeloader within chewing distance.

So if you're planting bulbs this fall, select the right ones to avoid planting dinner.

Although no plant is 100% animal-proof, some spring-blooming bulbs have toxic or unpalatable self-defenses that deer, rabbits and rodents tend to avoid.

Pet owners and parents, however, should exercise caution when deciding to grow these within reach of children or furry family members.

MOST OFFENSIVE BULBS

Crown imperials aren't referred to as "stink lilies" for nothing. One whiff of the malodorous, tufted, downward-facing, bell-shaped flowers will transport you to a skunk sanctuary — or a sweaty locker room. No self-respecting living thing would deliberately sniff, let alone eat, any part of the plant, which also contains highly toxic steroidal alkaloids.

But don't let that dissuade you from planting them. The striking plants not only keep rodents away, but they attract pollinators and are exceptionally eye-catching in the spring garden. Just don't plant them near the front walk.

Alliums are related to onions, and their bulbs' scent makes no secret of it, so they're typically left undisturbed. Their flowers have a similar, although milder, fragrance. If rabbits are particularly hungry, they might attempt a nibble, but the bitter sulfur compounds in the bulbs, leaves and stems will send them running. The plants are also toxic.

Similarly, all types of daffodils — from demure jonquils to giant trumpet types — contain bitter, toxic properties that most critters know to avoid.

OFF-PUTTING BULBS

Although nicely scented to us humans, the strong, sweet perfume emanating from Dutch hyacinth flowers is off-putting to many animals, as is the fruity

scent of the unrelated grape hyacinth, which deer and rabbits perceive as musky. Neither is as offensive as pungent alliums, but both hyacinths also contain toxic compounds that cause mouth irritation and stomach upset if bitten or ingested.

Spanish bluebells contain saponins, which smell and taste like soap, as well as poisonous cardiac glycosides.

Snowdrops, Siberian squill, anemone, glory of the snow, winter aconite and star of Bethlehem are smaller, so-called “minor”

bulbs with flowers that bloom earlier than the larger bulbs above. But they pack a punch in deterring wildlife browsing, thanks to their unpalatable smell, bitter taste and/or toxic compounds.

Because they have strong defenses, multiply read-

ily and are not kept under control by animals, some of these plants, particularly Siberian squill, Spanish bluebells and star of Bethlehem, can quickly become invasive, so plant with caution.

MIX WITH BULBS ANIMALS LOVE

All of these plants have spent generations using their natural defenses to avoid being eaten, and you can take advantage of that, too.

If you'd like to plant bulbs that animals love to eat, such as tulips or crocuses, try surrounding them with unpalatable ones. As they exude odors and chemicals to protect themselves, some of those defenses will extend to their bedmates.

GARDEN Q&A

How to address a scale infestation on your plants

Scale on pachysandra. TIM JOHNSON/CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN

By Tim Johnson FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Q: There are odd-looking white spots on a section of my pachysandra bed. I was wondering what they are and if I should take some action if they are a problem..

— Zachary Frederick, Kildeer A: From your photo, it looks like your pachysandra has an infestation of euonymus scale. This is the first time I have seen this problem on pachysandra. This pest injures the host plant by using its piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap. It is a difficult pest to

control, as adults create a protective covering (armor-ing) that makes insecticides ineffective while they are covered. You should address this pest in your garden once populations get large.

Right now, you don't need to do anything. The female scale insects overwinter on the plants and begin laying eggs in late April and May. They hatch over a two- to three-week period into crawlers. The males feed under a narrow, white, waxy coating and mate with females in spring. The crawlers wander about the plants for a short period of time and then begin to feed and create a waxy covering. A second generation of crawlers is produced from late July through August. The best time to apply control for this insect is when they are in the crawler stage.

I suggest that you prune out all the infested areas of your pachysandra bed next March to remove the overwintering females. Discard the plant debris in the garbage or at a commercial landscape waste operation where compost piles will get hot enough to kill the insects. The crawlers are active from late May to early June and in late July through August, providing two windows of opportunity to apply a control measure. Removing the overwintering adults from your garden should reduce the pests significantly. Apply a summer-weight dormant oil to your pachysandra during the crawler stages for more control.

Problems in trees can take years to show

Trees often reflect things that happened years ago. A larger-than-normal fall of the oldest needles from an evergreen tree may be the result of rainy weather in the spring two or three years ago. BETH BOTTS/THE MORTON ARBORETUM

By Beth Botts

FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

When you see something going on with your trees, sometimes it's because of what happened years ago.

“Trees live in the long term,” said Sharon Yiesla, plant knowledge specialist at the Plant Clinic of The Morton Arboretum in Lisle. “They have slow reaction times and slow life cycles. When you care for trees, it helps to think that way too.”

Every fall, for example, evergreen trees and shrubs, such as pines and spruce, drop their oldest needles. A white pine will discard its two- or three-year-old needles; a red pine will drop four-year-old needles.

Sometimes it just seems like an awful lot of needles. The reason may be that

two or three years ago, your white pine got lucky. "Maybe there was a lot of rain that spring and the plant was able to grow a bumper crop of new leaves," she said. "Now their time has come, and they're all falling at once."

As long as the tree is only dropping its oldest needles — the ones growing closest to the trunk — that's just the way a white pine grows, and it's nothing to worry about.

Things that happened years ago can also mean real trouble. For example, the effects of a bad drought can take years to kill a tree.

When the soil stays too dry for too long, the small, fine feeder roots that make up much of a tree's root system dry out and die. That can mean that even when it starts raining again, the tree doesn't have enough roots to absorb or store as much water as it needs. Over time, that water deficit means the tree struggles to support its leaves and branches. The stress accumulates until the tree dies.

Ironically, too much water can have the same effect. “When a tree stands underwater in a flood or has to live in waterlogged soil, roots often rot,” Yiesla said. Roots that die from rot, like those that die from drought, can leave the tree without enough of a root system to support itself in the long term.

Soil compaction from construction work is another slow-moving tree killer. A tree can die because the soil in which its roots have to live was packed down by heavy equipment traffic or by piles of building materials or debris.

“By the time the tree finally dies, you may have been enjoying the new patio or kitchen addition for years," she said. But all through those years, the tree was gasping for air and water that couldn't penetrate the compacted soil.

That's why, when faced with a tree problem, the Plant Clinic will often ask about the history of the yard. It's also why smart gardeners think about the long-term effect of big changes on the property, and they often keep a few notes.

“Having some sort of a record of what has gone on in your yard and your neighborhood can be a big help in diagnosing plant problems,” Yiesla said. “The end of the growing season is a good time to recall the major weather events and other big changes this year, and jot them down for future reference.”

Owners spend \$400K to save silver maple

Town house developers liken decision to ‘rescuing geriatric dog’

By Elizabeth A. Harris THE NEW YORK TIMES

Two friends running a small development firm had finally cobbled together the perfect plot of land in New York City's Brooklyn borough. A string of narrow lots on Dikeman Street in the Red Hook neighborhood would give them just enough space to build four high-end town houses, with room for the side yards and setbacks neighborhood zoning rules required.

But something else had gotten there first: a big old tree. It was a silver maple, six stories tall with a trunk 5 feet in diameter, its rough bark twisting in a spiral pattern as it reached toward the sky. The root system stretched 20 feet across the front yard, right where one of the town houses needed to go.

Ben Krone, an architect and co-founder of the development company Hier, told his partner, Phillip Sulke, that the tree was nice. But it had to go.

“Ben’s reaction was ‘We can’t save that tree,’” Sulke recalled. “‘We cannot build what we want. It will cost you a fortune.’ And I said: ‘Then we’re not doing it. Because I’m not cutting down this tree.”

And so a most unusual development began, in which Sulke and Krone spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to save one maple tree.

They tunneled the sewer and water lines far underground so they wouldn't disturb it. They employed complicated structural gymnastics to cantilever the front of the houses away from the root system. They even slowed construction when one of Krone's sons spotted a nest of mourning doves on a beam inside the house. Construction workers built a small enclosure out of plywood to protect the baby birds from welding sparks.

Krone said he consulted with an arborist who told him that the tree was likely about 100 years old, and that silver maples often don't live much past 100 or 120. But they didn't want to be the ones to kill it.

"It was like rescuing a geriatric dog," Krone said.

Sulke, the project's principal investor, would be the first to tell you he is an unusual real estate developer. An Austrian artist based in Vienna, he takes photographs of landscapes and giant ships using drones. Some of his work hangs in the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, and, according to him, his appreciation for history tends to overpower sensible financial decisions.

Krone describes his business partner as “extraordinarily sentimental about old things.” One of the houses they bought on Dikeman street had no roof, just the disintegrating outer shell of the building. He asked Krone, “Are you sure we can’t save the house?”

Sulke got his start as a developer with an unfortunate puzzle of a lot he bought on Wolcott Street in Red Hook. Once he owned that scruffy patch of weeds and dirt, he realized zoning restrictions made it all but unbuildable. Any new house on the property was required to have an 8-foot side yard, but the lot was only 20 feet wide.

He hired Krone, a Red Hook resident and something of a neighborhood zoning expert, to help find a solution. Using an exemption introduced after Hurricane Sandy, they were able to build in the footprint of a small house that was once on the property, and added an extension that was 12 feet wide. They tucked the dining room and a bathroom into the narrow wing of their L-shaped house.

The house sold in days, and Sulke used his earnings to buy a lot on Dikeman Street. Then he bought another, and another. When he and Krone had enough land to build their town houses — three lots, one of them a double-wide — the first thing Krone did was call an arborist to see about saving the tree.

For Sulke, saving the tree "was a no-brainer," Krone said, but it took him longer to get on board because, as an architect, he could see the headaches that lay ahead. "I was like I'll look into it' — while, you know, quietly rolling my eyes," Krone said.

But Krone, who teaches architectural design at the University of Pennsylvania, came around. He has lived in Red Hook for 15 years, and he hated the idea of being the kind of developer who would start a project by cutting down the tallest tree on the block.

"It didn't feel right to come in and bulldoze and completely change the character of the neighborhood," he said. "These are things that I teach," he continued. "Responsible development."

Bill Logan, the founder of Urban Arborist, examined the tree early in the process. He said silver maples are native to New York, but they are rarely planted here nowadays. Honey locusts and certain oaks are more commonly found on the streets of New York City, as are ginkgos.

The most complicated part of protecting this silver maple was keeping the house and its foundation away from the web of roots. KATHERINE MARKS FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

Silver maples can tolerate tough city conditions and quickly grow big and tall in spite of them. They can be fragile, however, and Logan said they don't withstand

storms as well as many other trees.

“Nobody can tell you how long a tree is going to grow,” he said. “But there is the ‘I’m going to live forever school,’ which is typical of oaks — they grow slowly, they put on new branches slowly, they buttress everything. Silver maples are more of the ‘live fast, die young’ variety.”

When Krone and Sulke found their tree, there was a fake houseplant screwed into one side, and it hadn't been pruned or cared for in

years.

But Rachel Soszynski, a neighbor who lives across the street on Dikeman, said that she likes to bird-watch from her kitchen window, and that the tree is the best bird real estate on the block. Cardinals like to hang out in it, she said, and red-tailed hawks use it as a staging area for hunting so they can dive-bomb pigeons.

Now, the town houses are finished. Each is 2,800 square feet, with enormous heavy timber beams visible inside, views of the

Red Hook harbor from the back, and terraces planted with echinacea flowers and black-eyed Susans off the primary suites. Hier plans to sell them for about \$4 million each.

All told, Krone said the process of cantilevering the house to avoid the roots cost about \$400,000.

"The design decisions were based on trying to operate around this thing, but it becomes like a piece of sculpture on its own," Krone said. "You really can't put a price tag on that."

The living room has a modern Scandinavian feel with a daybed by Hans Wegner, a nubby armchair by Meyer Davis and textiles by Josef Frank. The pendant lamp is by Anna Karlin.

The foyer in Will and Kerstin Meyer's Nashville, Tennessee, home is lined in wallpaper that depicts weeping willow trees. The gilt mirror previously belonged to Will Meyer's father. The art at the end of the hallway is by Bosco Sodi. THE INGALLS PHOTOS

The couple enclosed part of the terrace to create a sunroom they call their “orangerie.”

Even though the property is in Tennessee, it reminds them of some of their favorite destinations in Europe. “It’s this kind of Cotswold-style stone house that fits with the landscape,” Will Meyer said.

At the rear, the living room opens to a terrace with an expansive view and a pergola covered in vines. "It feels like you're sitting on an Italian terrace looking over the valley, with all that stone and the arches," Kers-tin Meyer said.

home to make it feel more like them. They kept the original wood floors but sanded and bleached them for a fresher look. They painted existing V-groove paneling high-gloss white. They remodeled the kitchen with glazed brick wall tile and a new Glacier White marble island with waterfall edges, while upgrading the electrical and plumbing systems. They gave the new primary bathroom the full Meyer Davis treatment, with geometric stone floor tile, a double vanity and a soaking tub from Claybrook, and faucets from Watermark, all of which were designed by the firm.

More decorative touches include a wallpaper-based mural from Phillip Jeffries depicting the long tendrils of willow trees in the foyer, and linear silk wallcovering in the primary bedroom. For art, the couple mounted works by notable contemporary artists, such as the Mexican-born Bosco Sodi, alongside pieces by their children and Kerstin Meyer's stepfather, Enrique Batista.

Their furniture choices are just as wide ranging. There are midcentury modern vintage finds, including a desk in the foyer found on 1stDibs, mixed with family heirlooms, like a gilt mirror that previously belonged to Will Meyer's father. There are many pieces designed by Meyer

Davis, of course, which the firm sells through its brand William Gray.

However, pieces designed and made in Sweden are just as prevalent, in a nod to Kerstin Meyer's heritage. Her mother is Swedish, and she and Will Meyer frequently return to Stockholm to visit family. During those trips, they always visit the design store Svenskt Tenn, which is best known for producing the work of Josef Frank.

"It's really inspiring going in there," Kerstin Meyer said. "And it's very hard to leave." So they continually do the next best thing — they buy and ship their

favorite finds home, including ottomans, stools and pillows.

Although the interior is always evolving, the unhurried renovation was largely complete last year, and Will Meyer estimated they spent roughly \$600,000 over six years. That includes the cost of a sunroom they created

by enclosing a portion of the terrace with windows.

They call the resulting space an “orangerie,” because it’s where they grow citrus trees. However, the room doesn’t hold orange trees, Kerstin Meyer was quick to point out: “We have Meyer lemon, of course.”

TV REVIEW

Disturbing yet funny sketch show channels director Lynch's eeriness

By Robert Lloyd LOS ANGELES TIMES

Jordan Mendoza stars in "The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza." He also directed and co-wrote the show. ADULT SWIM

Having premiered recently on Adult Swim — a most appropriate and maybe the only possible space — “The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza” is, as its creator describes it in a prologue, “a ‘Twilight Zone’ sketch show,” which is just what I would have said after watching eight of its 13 11-minute episodes, had he not said it first. Emphasizing its Asian bonafides

— Mendoza is Filipino American — he adds, “It would be almost racist if you didn’t do it.”

Mendoza, who stars in, directs and, with David Machajewski, writes the show, has said that some of the ideas come from actual dreams — the “terrors” in the titles are nightmares — though if my own dream life is anything to go by, the jokes are more clever and the narratives at once weirder and more cohesive. At various times it recalls the eeriness of David Lynch or the non sequitur logic of Luis Bunuel, and it has something of the flavor of “The Vince Staples Show,” which also went to some strange places in its too-short life.

Sketches, of varying lengths, build a central idea out in every direction, and a little farther than you might expect. We meet a therapist obsessed with Wendy's. Batman, convinced that he has adult ADHD because an online quiz told him so ("I know a lot of people claim they have ADHD," he tells Alfred, "but in my case I think I really do ... I'm creative but easily overwhelmed, organized but at the same time not").

A dying man (Steve Buscemi) is obsessed with getting his last words right; a prisoner is sentenced to “15 hugs and kisses” from the “nearest judge.” A bank robber holding hostages demands to be “a famous snake ... and if you can't get on board with that then everyone in here is going to die." In a horror movie pastiche, Mendoza is dogged by middle-aged white men compelled to tell him that their wife is Asian, which does sound like something from personal experience.

Wherever the comedy goes, it's played straight and with intensity, as is the terror. The show can be genuinely disturbing and genuinely funny. (Two things can be true at once.) There's also a scene in which Mendoza, playing a character convinced he's a Harry Potter wizard, runs into a brick wall he thinks he'll pass through, and, there's nothing more liable to make me laugh than that, unless it's someone hitting their head on a low door frame or suddenly falling over for any number of nonfatal reasons.

Mendoza, who is in his mid-30s, has a string of writing and acting credits, including writing for “Dave,” Dave Burd’s comedy about a suburban Jew from Philadelphia who believes himself destined for rap greatness, and parts in Julio Torres’ “Problemista” and “Fantasmas,” which are located in the same hemisphere of alternative comedy. He has the Rolodex of a well-connected person; the guest list is impressively loaded for someone making his first show.

The great Martha Kelly (from “Baskets”) plays a masseuse who exteriorizes her client’s pain, and in another sketch, she’s a woman sitting in on a confirmation class in order to learn where Jesus might be “lodging” when he returns. (She has a plan.) Kate Berlant invites Mendoza to what turns out to be a one-woman poetry slam, held in secret to avoid the Slammers Union (“They’re like the Sopranos, only violent”). Chris Parnell, Randall Park, Wanda Sykes, Thomas Lennon, Clea DuVall, Lake Bell, Toby Huss, Mark Maron, Fred Armisen and Gregg Turkington (from the world of “On Cinema at the Cinema”) all muck in.

You should know from the above whether this might be your sort of thing. (It won't be everyone's, but it's definitely up my dark, crooked alley.) But, really, it's even better than these descriptions might lead you to guess, elevated by the first-class production, assured performances (Mendoza is himself very good) and everyone's commitment to whatever bit is up at the time. The devilishness is in the details.

Horoscopes

If September 17 is your birthday: Take a breath, the rest of 2026 should be both easier and more helpful than the preceding months of the year. October could bring significant insights worth noting. At least one could become a real gamechanger for you.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Wait until tomorrow for anything whose outcome matters, stars flip from poor to helpful overnight. Stick to known strategies to get things done — these same poor stars typically generate poor new ideas. Taurus (April 20-May 20): There's a lot of hope queuing up for you in the financial realm but please don't act on anything until tomorrow or after.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Problems seldom get worked out when stars are underwater, but it can be easy to make them worse. Tomorrow could provide the missing pieces from today's observations — with added clarity, much can improve. Cancer (June 21-July 22): You could get a few hours of serendipity despite today's below-zero day score, especially in just taking care of daily basics.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid putting finishing touches on anything that has to be right, poor stars often mean something gets missed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be grateful for small wins, they're less common when strs are in darkness. Cocoon time at home could be just what's needed.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hold that thought. Even if it looks like a true winner — actually, especially if it looks that way. Even little stuff benefits from better timing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Expect money matters to improve but don't start anything today. New ambitions coupled with resources and the healing of blocks will all help going forward. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): While the mood could strike for an appearance change, waiting for better stars will minimize potential regret.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A period of learning could soon pivot into putting that new knowledge or those new skills into action. Deep inner seeking could bring up buried treasure, making all of life easier.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tread lightly today but by tomorrow, a little honesty could bring healing to a friendship. Co-operation could soon arrive in a shared situation or financial matter. Don't let anyone else dictate your values.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a day to get through without trying to initiate anything — tomorrow could bring a breakthrough. Likewise, put a pin in a relationship discussion until tomorrow or after.

Bridge

Neither vulnerable, West deals

Grand Avenue By Mike Thompson

Today's deal invites you to test your imagination. North's second double showed extra values with fewer than four spades. South was expected to pass unless he thought they could make a high-level contract. South's decision to bid on was not clear cut, although we think that most players

The bidding:

West	North	East	South
1♥	Dbl	3♥*	3♠
4♥	Dbl	Pass	4♠

*Pre-emptive, at least 4 hearts Opening lead: King of ♣

would do the same. The defense starts with three rounds of clubs and then leads a trump. How would you plan the play? We can assume, from the bidding, that West holds both red-suit kings. The problem is that we have only

one entry to our hand and can only take one finesse. Is there anything we can do?

We should realize that there is probably nothing we can do if East has three or more diamonds. We need West to hold at least three diamonds to put pressure on him. Let's start by cashing the ace of hearts. We can't take both finesse anyway and this will clarify the position. Now we run all our trumps but one, coming down to three diamonds and a trump in our hand and three diamonds and the queen of hearts in dummy. West will also have three diamonds and one heart – the king. On the last trump, West will have to discard a diamond, so you can then discard the queen of hearts from dummy. A diamond finesse allows you to take the last three tricks and make your contract. Good thinking!

Fan angst at fever pitch as Cubs, Sox hit home stretch

Paul Sullivan IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWS

There have been few baseball seasons in Chicago like the one we're going through.

The Cubs and White Sox are fighting for a playoff spot with 11 days left, and every game from here on out has meaning.

It could be an epic ending with both teams heading to the post-season for the first time in a full season since 2008. It could be a

tragic ending with both falling short. Either way, it's probably going to make you shout at your TV, which is always a good thing.

Chicago is a great baseball town with a lot of baseball tradition but not a lot of hardware. So if you've been suffering from Cubs anxiety over the recent bullpen meltdowns or Sox sadness over all the

CLEVELAND — White Sox relievers lost their command in the sixth inning Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians.

And the Sox lost their grip on the American League Central.

The Sox fell to second place in the division with a 6-3 loss to the Guardians in front of 23,336 at Progressive Field. The Sox had held at least a share of the Central lead since July 4.

The Guardians took over first place, a half-game ahead of the Sox, who not only are in a battle for the division but for a wild-card berth. They hold the No. 3 AL wild card, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ games ahead of Texas. The Rangers host the Boston Red Sox later Wednesday.

The Sox have 10 games remaining in the regular season.

“Tough to not have that lead, but

at the same time we've got a long ways to go here, a lot can happen," manager Will Venable said.

The game turned in the sixth. Sox reliever Hagen Smith issued a pair of walks before Petey Halpin hit a three-run home run against Sean Newcomb that gave the Guardians a 5-3 lead.

Newcomb then walked Brayan Rocchio, who later scored on a double by José Ramírez. The Guardians scored four runs in the inning off the two hits and four walks.

"Just not finishing pitches in general, like the sinker to Halpin," Newcomb said. "Missed middle.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams waits for the snap in the first quarter against the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By Phil Thompson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

It's one week later in the schedule, but the Bears remember all too well how an early meeting versus the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 went down at Soldier Field.

The Bears lost last season's opener in front of a home crowd, blowing an 11-point fourth-quarter lead in a 27-24 defeat on “Monday Night Football.”

“Last season was last season,” defensive back Josh Blackwell said. “If anything, if you look back, the last time we played, we won (19-17 on Nov. 16) on a last-minute field goal (at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis). So, I mean, that’s in the past. We’re just focused on this season and how we can build off the first week.”

In Week 1, the Bears ran away

from the Carolina Panthers 59-37. They are expecting more of a slugfest this time around, particularly against a defense that's "a handful each and every week," Ben Johnson said Wednesday at Halas Hall.

The Vikings stunned the Green Bay Packers by scoring 29 unanswered points, as backup quarterback Carson Wentz led a come-from-behind 39-29 victory.

“This is a really good team coming in,” Johnson said. “Division opponent, obviously, but the way that they finished last year and (the way) they started this year, they’re hot. I think it’s six in a row.”

Added cornerback Jaylon Johnson: “We’ve got a good one with (Vikings coach) Kevin O’Connell and his offense and what they’ve been able to do over the years, it’s been really good. So we’re just looking forward to competition.”

Here are three things we learned from the Bears on Wednesday.

1. CALEB WILLIAMS IS MAKING QUICKER DECISIONS.

Williams and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen were voted by fans as Week 1's FedEx Air and Ground NFL Players of the Week, the league announced. Williams had 334 total yards and four touchdowns — two passing and two rushing — and a 124.1 rating.

Ben Johnson noticed the quarterback played with more anticipation, something he began to do with

BLACKHAWKS

3 players who stood out in rowdy prospect showcase

By Kalen Lumpkins CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Blackhawks concluded their 2026-27 prospect showcase Tuesday with the second of two games against the St. Louis Blues at USG Arena.

The games were extra physical, with tons of hard hits and dropped gloves. Game 1, a 3-1 Blues victory Monday, had its share of punches thrown. The 5-2 Hawks win in Game 2 featured several fights.

Hawks coach Jeff Blashill watched the young skaters compete in a semi-audition before training camp begins Thursday. Here are three prospects who made noise this week.

AJ SPELLACY,

RIGHT WING/CENTER

The 20-year-old speedster arrived at prospect camp as the fastest player on the ice. It seemed to have caught the Blues hopefuls off guard as he skated on the top line with Sacha Boisvert and Ryan Roobroeck.

Spellacy used his size and suave skating to create a plethora of scoring chances, leaving Blues defenders wondering what happened. He didn't score in Game 1 — one of his many shots dinged the crossbar — but earned his due in Game 2 with two goals.

The forward's physicality was on full display. Whenever there was a hit to be laid, Spellacy was there to make a Blues skater pay.

"It's a big part of my game — that's what I try to do," Spellacy said. "I try to fly out there, play the body, make it hard to play against me."

Blues prospect Colin Ralph took exception and hit Spellacy late in Game 1. Hawks defenseman Ashton Cumby stood up for his teammate by dropping the gloves and winning a back-and-forth scrap — to Spellacy's delight.

“That was awesome,” Spellacy said. “That just shows how good of a teammate he is. That was an unreal job from him. I was grateful for that.”

It was a near-perfect audition in front of Hawks staff. Perfectly timed, too, as Spellacy prepares for his first professional season with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs.

"He's taken a big step," IceHogs coach Jared Nightingale said. "It's always another season of maturity. A guy like Spellacy can stand out."

MARTIN MISIAK, WING

Misiak's first season in Rockford didn't go as planned. It's always a big step to go from juniors to the pros, but the offense he displayed with the OHL's Erie Otters was mostly absent.

The 21-year-old wing had just 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 63 games for the IceHogs after totaling 59 points (23 goals, 36 assists) in 60 regular-season games in Erie in 2024-25.

He's looking to get his flair back in his second professional season, and three goals in the showcase — including two in Game 2 — should help.

“I feel like I play a 200-feet game now,” said Misiak, who skated on the second line with Jiri Felcman and Marek Vanacker. “I can protect my puck (and) play more pro-style hockey.”

Added Nightingale: “(Misiak) did a really good job in collecting the fruits of his labor. It’s good seeing kids like that get rewarded, but it’s only the beginning of the journey for him.”

TAIGE HARDING,

DEFENSEMAN

The 6-foot-7, 236-pound Harding towered over prospects from both teams while skating alongside Jake Furlong in the top defensive pair.

Nightingale focused on active sticks during the prospect practices, and it's safe to say Harding learned a thing or two. He blocked multiple Blues shots while using his large frame to push through defenders when he had the puck. Harding also played on the top penalty-kill unit.

Harding, 24, was the most experienced player in prospect camp, hence his donning of the captain's patch. He's set for his third season in Rockford in 2026-27.

"Wearing the crest is an honor, so to be captain of the rookie team was something I didn't take lightly," Harding said.

SULLIVAN from Page C1

note. It was a classic Sox flip-flop, from ecstasy to agony in less than 24 hours. They have a 5-12 record since Aug. 30, when they were a season-high nine games over .500.

"I think we're in a good spot," manager Will Venable told reporters afterward, looking at the bright side of blowing the division lead after $2 \frac{1}{2}$ months.

The Cubs won the rubber game against the Atlanta Braves 8-4 after blowing a late lead in Tuesday's loss and were neck-and-neck with the Philadelphia Phillies for the top NL wild-card spot heading into the weekend series in Cincinnati. They are 9-12 since Aug. 25, when they were 20 games over .500. Manager Craig Counsell has been as optimistic as Venable, though it's hard to tell after a blown save.

Cubs and Sox fans are alternately dazed and confused, a rite of passage for most of them.

We're programmed at birth to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, no matter what side of town you grew up on. That's the legacy left by previous generations of Cubs and Sox fans, who've endured mostly the worst with a light sprinkling of the best.

As everyone knows, we've witnessed only two championships in our lifetimes and in our parents' lifetimes — and maybe even our grandparents' lifetimes. One is the loneliest number for fans of either team, and for Sox fans, it feels like a long time since 2005. Ditto for Cubs fans since 2016.

Sure, we deserve better. But as Clint Eastwood famously said in "The Unforgiven," "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."

The Cubs have a $99.5\%$ chance to make the postseason, according to ESPN, so the biggest fear is they'll finish behind the Phillies or San Diego Padres and play the best-of-three wild-card series on the road.

At this point the Cubs might want to call up Justin Steele even if he's not ready, if only to steady the nerves of jittery fans. Most of them would rather see a hologram of Steele over most of the current members of the bullpen, which has 26 blown saves, including four in the first two weeks of September.

Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney gave a pep talk at the daily ushers meeting before Wednesday's game, reminding them of how the home-field advantage worked so well in last year's wild-card win over the Padres. He was no Steele, but they seemed to appreciate the effort.

Pete Crow-Armstrong's MVP-caliber season – he added to his resume Wednesday with two solo home runs and an RBI triple – wouldn't be complete without a playoff game at Wrigley, so the onus is on PCA and his teammate to make sure that happens.

The Sox had a $73.5\%$ chance after Wednesday's loss, which suggests they'll still make it to October with a decent finish and some help. But they could also start out on the road, increasing the degree of difficulty.

There's still reason for optimism on the South Side, despite Colson Montgomery nearly striking out more in one season (211 times) than Hall of Fame second baseman Nellie Fox did over a 19-year career (216 times). The Sox still have the tiebreaker over the Guardians, so even though they're a half-game back in the American League Central, they can win out and clinch the division.

The Sox begin a four-game homestead Thursday against the suddenly competitive Detroit Tigers, who would like nothing better than to spoil the Sox season and make the magic wand irrelevant. It's also Tim Anderson Night, with the team honoring a former player who was considered the face of the franchise only five years ago before everything went downhill for the Sox.

Hopefully Sox fans will come out and honor Anderson and give the team a lift in the playoff race, despite the fact it's a school night. A half-filled Sox Park just doesn't cut it.

Venable told reporters after Wednesday's loss that even though the results in Cleveland weren't good, he was "proud" of the team.

The only news would be if Venable didn't say he was proud. But his incessant optimism is desperately needed right now as Sox fans try to process what's happening and wonder whether this wild, wild season would still be considered a success if they didn't make the postseason.

Former Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said on his “Foul Territory” podcast it would be an “organizational failure” if they did not after leading the division since July 4.

I'm not sure I buy that logic, since no one in the world had the Sox contending when they began spring training in February.

But it's true that general manager Chris Getz made several moves at the trade deadline, and none of them has panned out. Munetaka Murakami has virtually disappeared over the last two months, and Venable's handling of the pitching staff has been under fire. On the flip side, you could argue Venable got more out of this roster than any manager had a right to, and a .500 season would be about as good as anyone could've expected.

No matter what happens to the Cubs or Sox, it has been a fun summer in Chicago and full of memories that will last a lifetime.

Isn't that what watching sports is all about?

Del Mastro signs 2-year, \$1.9M deal

The Blackhawks have signed 23-year-old defenseman Ethan Del Mastro to a two-year, \$1.9 million contract, the team announced Wednesday. The one-way deal runs through the 2027-28 season.

Del Mastro's contract locks up the Hawks' final restricted free agent a day before training camp opens. Connor Bedard, Kevin Korchinski and Drew Commesso signed over the summer.

It's the second straight year the Hawks signed a defenseman right before training camp. Last year Wyatt Kaiser signed his two-year, \$3.4 million contract less than 24 hours before camp opened.

Del Mastro was a fourth-round pick (No. 105) in 2021 and is one of only two players from that draft class still in the Hawks system, along with defenseman Taige Harding, 24.

He saw significant NHL playing time last season after injuries to Matt Grzelcyk and Artyom Levshunov, recording one assist, 22 blocked shots and five takeaways in 19 games. Coach Jeff Blashill praised Del Mastro on multiple occasions.

“He doesn’t play afraid to make a mistake — I like that piece of it for sure,” Blashill said March 31. “(You want) guys who are going to go out to play to win.”

Del Mastro has two goals and five assists in 45 NHL games over parts of the last three seasons. He also had 64 points (nine goals, 55 assists) in 161 games with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs during that time.

The Hawks brought in defense-men Bowen Byram and Ian Cole during the offseason along with re-signing Korchinski, and Alex Vlasic, Wyatt Kaiser, Sam Rinzel and Levshunov also return.

If Del Mastro doesn't make the NHL roster out of training camp, he would be placed on waivers and would head back to Rockford if he clears.

CUBS

3 relievers who need to step up down stretch

By Meghan Montemurro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A tight National League wildcard race has created plenty of what-ifs surrounding missed opportunities for the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs squandered a three-run lead they took into the sixth inning Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves, hurt by three two-run home runs in a 6-3 loss. They managed just five hits and didn't put a runner in scoring position after the fourth inning. They had only one baserunner (a single) in the final five innings.

"This time of year everything is obviously magnified and there's a lot of pressure," said starter Kevin Gausman, who served up a two-run homer by Ronald Acuña Jr. in the sixth for the only runs he allowed in $5 \frac{1}{2}$ innings.

"You can't forget what got you here, and I haven't been around this team that long, but it's a super loose team so we just keep that mentality of not letting these games that mean a lot mean too much. You have to find a way to go into a game and still have fun out there. ... Find a way to not let that pressure get to you."

As much as the offense was limited by starter Martín Pérez and the Braves bullpen, the Cubs haven't been getting enough from their relievers.

“We’ve got to get guys pitching well and we’ve got to have ... multiple guys we can count on,” manager Craig Counsell said. “We’re not going to survive if we don’t.”

After Wednesday night's series finale at Wrigley Field, the Cubs have nine regular-season games left to determine their postseason future. If they're going to hold on to the top wild-card position, they need these three players to step up.

1. RHP DANIEL PALENCIA

The season hasn't gone the way Palencia and the Cubs anticipated.

Two injuries — a flexor strain that sidelined him for two months being the most significant — have limited the right-hander to 29 games and 25 $^{1/3}$ innings after he posted a 2.91 ERA and 22 saves last year. The Cubs need the 26-year-old to lock in and become closer to the version Counsell used in a key fireman role during the 2025 postseason.

Perhaps Tuesday marked another small step in the right direction.

Palencia retired the only batter he faced, entering the sixth with a runner on first as the Cubs held a one-run lead. He needed just two pitches to retire Mauricio Dubón on a flyout.

It was Palencia's fifth straight appearance without allowing an earned run, though there are a couple of underlying concerns. Most notably, he hasn't been generating many swinging strikes even in his recent successful appearances. In his last five games, he recorded six whiffs in 68 pitches.

His velocity continues to be down, too, topping out Tuesday at 98.3 mph on the two fastballs he threw. He averaged 99.6 on the pitch last season and would hit triple digits. At this point in the season, this might just be who Palencia is, but the Cubs must hope his confidence, and velocity, continue to build.

2. RHP JACOB WEBB

For two consecutive months, Webb was nearly untouchable.

Riding a streak of 24 scoreless appearances into the Cubs' West Coast trip in late August, Webb has endured nightmarish outings since then. He surrendered another go-ahead home run Tuesday, a two-run shot by Ozzie Albies off a changeup that put the Braves ahead 4-3 in the seventh.

In eight appearances dating to the end of his scoreless streak Aug. 22, Webb has allowed runs in five of those outings, including four home runs — all of which blew a Cubs lead.

"The walk to lead off the inning is the thing I look back on," Counsell said. "It's a four-pitch walk, not something that (Webb) does, and that's what gets you in trouble and makes the home run hurt."

When the Cubs signed Webb in the offseason, he was projected as a sixth- and seventh-inning arm. Injuries forced him to take on a bigger role in June, and the veteran's sizzling stretch — zero runs and 13 hits in 24 $^{3/4}$ innings from June 24 to Aug. 21 — helped stabilize a banged-up pitching staff. They need him to recapture some of that consistency in the final days of the regular season as the most experienced high-leverage right-hander in the bullpen.

Part of that comes down to execution. Webb's slider, which he started throwing this year to replace his sweeper, isn't used often (8.8%, nearly all to right-handed hitters) but has given up damage. He primarily relied on his changeup and four-seam fastball Tuesday; he has been tagged for four home runs on his changeup this season.

3. RHP EDWARD CABRERA

Cabrera hadn't entered a big-league game out of the bullpen since 2023 when he was summoned with two outs in the seventh Tuesday. And even those two previous relief experiences were bulk four-plus-inning outings for the Miami Marlins as he returned from injury.

Cabrera saw an uptick in velocity Tuesday across all five of his pitches, including his fastball, which hit 99.8 mph and averaged 98.4, compared with 96.2 in his 15 starts this year.

"It was exciting for me to get out there again," Cabrera said through an interpreter.

With the tying run at second when he entered, Cabrera recovered from a 3-0 count to Acuña to force an inning-ending groundout. Counsell stuck with him through the eighth and ninth, and Cabrera navigated highs (three strikeouts) and lows – none bigger than Drake Baldwin's two-run homer on a poorly located 0-2 fastball. It turned a one-run Cubs deficit into a 6-3 Braves advantage.

"Yeah, you can definitely feel more (pressure) in the situation that we were in," Cabrera said. "They were only up by one run, so whenever you're in situations like that, those errors are magnified."

The long ball was the MLB-leading 227th home run the Cubs have allowed this year. Counsell thought Cabrera otherwise had a good outing.

"The home runs change games," Counsell said. "We're giving up too many, there's no question about it. Some of it has been weather-related. Tonight was not."

With Webb faltering again, Palencia still trying to recapture his old form and Ryan Zeferjahn showing flashes of the high upside the Cubs traded for, the Cubs need Cabrera to settle into his relief role to provide them a viable hard-throwing right-handed option.

GUARDIANS 7, WHITE SOX 6 LATE TUESDAY 1 strike from win, Sox fall as Central tightens

By LaMond Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CLEVELAND — White Sox left fielder Sam Antonacci stood near the warning track after picking up the baseball that was just out of his diving reach.

Nathaniel Lowe to begin the ninth. He struck out Angel Genao but then walked Patrick Bailey.

Sox players then made the long, slow walk back to the dugout while fireworks went off and the Cleveland Guardians celebrated in the outfield.

The race for the American League Central title tightened with a walk-off, two-run double in the ninth inning by Brayan Rocchio that gave the Guardians a 7-6 win in front of 23,514 at Progressive Field.

It was a gut-punch for the Sox, who were one strike away from expanding their division lead. Instead, that lead is a half-game heading into Wednesday's series finale.

"A strike away from winning the game against an opponent that's really hard to beat in a big game," manager Will Venable said. "Just weren't able to make it happen."

The switch-hitting Rocchio, hitting from the left side against right-handed reliever Grant Taylor, got to a 100.9-mph high sinker that was out of the zone and drove it to left field.

Antonacci described his route on the final play, over and back, as "Pretty dogs—, to be honest."

"Just got to clean it up," Antonacci said. "It's the big leagues, you can't make those types of routes in that position."

Venable said of the final play: "I think he was in a good position, it was a tough play. It's not on Sammy, that's a tough play. Just weren't able to make it. It's just one of those, it's a tough play going back to his right. Sammy works as hard as he can to make those plays.

“That obviously was a big play but not the reason that we lost that game. Sammy’s a guy that goes out there and does everything right for us, a guy that we love having out there. Just didn’t work out.”

Tuesday was filled with ups and ultimately downs for the Sox — who have lost 11 of 16.

The Sox fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and rallied to take a 6-4 lead thanks to a four-run sixth. They led 6-5 going into the ninth.

Taylor, working his second inning, surrendered a single to

"When we talk about the path to beating these guys, and it's limiting the walks," Venable said when asked about the walk. "Obviously that put us in a tough spot. Grant's a guy that's consistently pounded the zone for us. You're asking two innings of him right there.

“Credit to Bailey for laying off some pitches. Just part of the game. That result was something that hurt us, but at the same time, you’ve got (Rocchio) 0-2, in a good spot there and just weren’t able to make it happen.”

Petey Halpin was up before Rocchio and moved the runners to second and third while grounding out to first. That brought up Rocchio, who had hit a walk-off, two-run home run off Taylor on July 2.

Taylor started Tuesday's at-bat with a curveball and slider for strikes.

“We’ve seen Rocchio, and even heard from him, how he’s selling out to fastballs against Grant,” Venable said. “Had him 0-2 with a couple of breaking balls. Trying to sneak one by him up in the zone. A really good hitter, made contact and we saw the results.”

Rocchio came through with the game-winning hit on the sinker. Antonacci raced after the ball, which continued slicing away. He dove but came up empty.

“Was playing a little in there and the ball kind of going down the left-field line, taking it towards me, a little back too,” Antonacci said. “Yeah, just got to be caught.”

Catcher Kyle Teel, when asked about the pitches in the final at-bat, said, "He's got two strikes on him, it's the right pitch call. Grant's throwing 101 mph, just is what it is.

"I like the pitch call. I think Grant put it in a solid spot. If we spin him there and we throw three in a row, he can clip that one too. Just it is what it is."

It was the eighth time this season the Sox were walked off.

"We played a really good game," Venable said. "Credit to Cleveland for doing everything they can. These guys just never stop playing. We've been in these tight games against these guys before. This one just didn't work out for us."

And it was the same with the walks, just trying to be too fine."

Even though they dropped two of three, the Sox (77-75) hold the tiebreaker over the Guardians (78-75) if the teams finish the regular season even, by virtue of winning the season series 7-6. But they'll have work to do in pursuit of what would be their first division crown since 2021.

“Right now everyone knows the value of each game,” designated hitter Tommy Pham said.

The Sox fell behind early Wednesday, with the Guardians taking advantage of an error to score twice in the third inning.

Chase Meidroth fielded Steven Kwan's grounder to second but couldn't secure the ball when he attempted to tag Halpin. The ball rolled into center field as Halpin advanced to third on the error.

Halpin remained on third, and Kwan advanced to second on a groundout.

With two outs, Jo Adell hit a liner just out of shortstop Luisangel Acuña's reach for a single. Two runs scored on the hit, giving the hosts a 2-0 lead.

The Sox attempted to respond in the fourth. Batting with two on and two out, Colson Montgomery was hit by a pitch. That loaded the bases for Acuña, who grounded into a forceout at second base to end the inning. Montgomery later exited the game with a left wrist bruise. X-rays were negative, and the infielder is day to day.

The Sox made the most of another opportunity in the fifth. Pham — reinstated from the injured list earlier Wednesday — came up with two on and two out. He homered on a first-pitch curveball, putting the Sox ahead 3-2.

"It's a great feeling, gave us the lead at the time," Pham said. "Just, too, from a team perspective we've been struggling with men in scoring position. So to come through, kind of lift the monkey off the team's back. But we ended up losing, man, so it's pointless."

Sox starter Anthony Kay pitched four innings — allowing two runs (zero earned) on two hits with three strikeouts and two walks — before giving way to Smith. The lefty pitched a scoreless fifth inning. In the sixth, he walked David Fry with one out and Austin Hedges with two outs.

"The decision to send Hagen back out, because he's been so good, was really the debatable one in which we're asking a lot of him and he had just been so good," Venable said. "You look back over the last week, it's been two innings, a day off, two innings, a day off, two innings, and that was a really big ask there.

“We know the way to give this team the chance is extra opportunities via errors and walks, and that just bit us there.”

The Sox brought in Newcomb, who fell behind in the count 3-1 to Halpin. He threw a sinker, and Halpin knew right away that he got it all, sending it over the wall in right-center for the go-ahead three-run home run.

“That was just not the spot I’m trying to put it,” Newcomb said. “Trying to get the sinker in there to get some weak contact down. It was kind of middle-middle.”

The Guardians extended the lead to 6-3 with Ramírez's RBI double later in the inning.

The Sox brought the tying run to the plate in the eighth, but Sam Antonacci lined out to center field to end the inning. They finished 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

"Really good stuff to get guys on base, just not being able to string quite enough together to push more across," Venable said.

Cade Smith struck out two of three in the ninth, sending the Sox to their 12th loss in the last 17 games.

"It was a tough series, that's a good characterization of that one," Venable said. "Obviously the results there are not what we want. I am proud of the guys. I think we're in a good spot.

"There's been a stretch there where we were not playing good baseball. And for the last four, five games we've been playing good baseball. Not the results we want, but I think we're in a good spot moving forward with some really good things happening."

Up next is a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Rate Field.

"Just got to keep going, keep getting better," Kay said. "Can't really worry about the past, just got to play the next one."

TODAY'S PITCHERS

■ Athletics: Ryan Lasko, a minor league prospect with the Athletics who was paralyzed in an outfield collision more than two months ago, has been released from an in-patient rehabilitation hospital and will continue his recovery from home. The 24-year-old Lasko was released Wednesday exactly two months after arriving at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in his home state of New Jersey, about 35 miles from where he attended college at Rutgers and became a second-round draft pick by the A's in 2023. Staff members at the facility celebrated his departure with a "clap out" farewell ceremony as he exited the building's main entrance. Lasko suffered the spinal cord injury in a collision with a teammate June 30 that left him paralyzed from the chest down, with both arms affected, too. His dominant right arm — the one he uses to throw and hit — is weaker and will take more time to strengthen. His legs and feet have begun to regain some feeling and tingling sensations. He told The Associated Press this week he can't predict how the next year will go. For now, he is focusing on the present and "reworking my brain to just wait, there's nothing else I can do now, I have to wait." Going home is a major milestone. He said he's excited for a home-cooked meal and to follow through on offseason travel plans with girlfriend Alli Graff despite the additional challenges. "I've kind of stopped trying to look that far ahead because they keep telling me it's two months, this is only the beginning still, but it feels like it's been forever," Lasko told the AP. "It's gone by quick, but it's also been the longest two months of my life. They keep telling me that it's only the beginning so that's where I'm trying to learn to have patience, because I expected it would happen overnight and that's really not how it works whatsoever. But I'm learning, slowly, it's a very slow process with everything," Lasko fractured the C6 and C7 vertebrae in his neck during a frightening moment ■ Brewers: The best pitcher in baseball on the team with the best record in baseball isn't sure how exactly the Brewers keep doing this. Asked how a team that works on the fringe of baseball's middle class has turned Champagne celebrations into a September ritual, Jacob Misiorowski shrugged. "I couldn't tell you," the 24-year-old ace said. "You know, I've been trying to figure it out all year." The search will continue into October. The Brewers (94-57 through Tuesday) won their fourth straight NL Central title on Tuesday night, when they rode their flame-throwing star and a couple of timely hits from role players Luis Lara and Joey Ortiz for a 5-1 road win over the Pirates. When the Braves rallied past the Cubs about 30 minutes later, there was a roar that seeped through the cinder-block walls outside the visitors' clubhouse at PNC Park. Bottles were popped. Cigars were lit. Beers — Miller Lites, of course — were chugged. This part of the journey never gets old, not even for Christian Yelich, who has been a fixture during the Brewers' run of eight playoff appearances in nine years. "We're a good team," the three-time All-Star and 2018 NL MVP said.

■ Yankees: Three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge was pulled for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning of the Yankees' 5-4 extra-inning loss to the host Twins on Wednesday because of tightness in his lower right leg. Judge, 34, is 4 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and one extra-base hit in seven games since returning last week after a long layoff due to a broken rib. —AP

AROUND THE HORN

as he and Double-A Midland teammate Devin Taylor ran into each other in a game at Frisco, Texas, both attempting to make a play on a ball to the gap. Lasko was carted off the field and taken to a nearby hospital for immediate spinal decompression and stabilization surgery. His doctors and physical and occupational therapists are encouraged by his progress and optimistic he could make a full recovery and walk again in time.

ON THIS DATE: SEPT. 17

1912: Brooklyn's Casey Stengel makes his major league debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates, finishing with four singles, two RBIs and two steals in a 7-3 win. 1920: Bobby Veach of the Detroit Tigers hit for the cycle in a 14-13 12-inning win over the Boston Red Sox at Navin Field. Veach had six hits, achieving the cycle with a double in the ninth.

1930: Cleveland's Earl Averill drove in eight runs with three consecutive home runs to lead the Indians to a 13-7 victory over the Washington Senators in a doubleheader opener. Averill added another homer in the nightcap, setting an American League record with 11 RBIs in a doubleheader.

1941: Stan Musial makes his major league debut.

1947: Jackie Robinson named Rookie of the Year by The Sporting News. 1968: Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants pitched a no-hitter, a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and Bob Gibson. Ron Hunt homered for the only run. 1984: Reggie Jackson became the 13th player to hit 500 home runs. The milestone shot came off Kansas City pitcher Bud Black. His homer came exactly 17 years after his first career hit.

1984: Rookie pitcher Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets struck out 16 Phillies in a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia. Five days earlier, Gooden fanned 16 Pittsburgh Pirates tying a major league record for 32 strikeouts in two consecutive games.

1988: Jeff Reardon became the first pitcher to save 40 games in both leagues as the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1. Reardon, who saved 42 games for the Montreal Expos in 1985, pitched the ninth inning for his 40th save in 47 opportunities.

1996: Hideo Nomo pitched a no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-0 victory. Nomo walked four batters and stuck out eight.

College sports bill aimed at reform clears key hurdle

WASHINGTON — A bill that proposes to fix some of the biggest problems in college sports — spiraling spending, constant lawsuits and a transfer portal run amok — cleared a major hurdle Tuesday when the Senate voted 74-24 to halt debate and move the measure one step closer to a final up-or-down vote.

The Protect College Sports Act, a bill co-sponsor Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called “a bipartisan solution designed to bring order to the chaos” easily cleared the 60-vote threshold it needed to stop the filibuster.

Co-sponsor Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said the lopsided nature of the vote left her “cautiously optimistic” it could get through the House, which has failed repeatedly in passing a different version of a college sports bill.

There remains, however, a persistent block of opposition.

“What this bill does at its core is to protect a system of exploitation,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.

Notably, all four Black Democrats in the Senate

— voted against the bill that is strongly opposed by the NAACP.

The vote came a week after college football's most recent crisis — a scheduled meeting of school presidents in the Southeastern Conference to expel LSU over its now-canceled plans to place players on the roster who had participated in NFL training camps.

Calmer heads prevailed. The eligibility lawsuit that triggered the mess is the sort of litigation the bill would outlaw.

“That was probably like a big lamp for some people who saw it and said, ‘Oh my God, this is so out of control,’” Cantwell said in an interview with The Associated Press. “You can see how out-of-hand the situation was getting.”

Cantwell and Cruz introduced the bill in late May and it nearly died without the support of the South-eastern and Big Ten conferences. Compromises helped get them on board, then it became a matter of getting the bill onto the floor of the busy upper chamber.

At around the time the vote took place, Cantwell released a report that outlined a “spending spiral” that has taken hold of college sports since name-image-likeness payments began.

The bill also has gained support from a long list of sports leaders, including retired football coach Nick Saban and Deion Sanders of Colorado, and basketball coaches John Calipari of Arkansas and Mark Few of Gonzaga.

"I think this clears up about 75-80% of our issues," Calipari said at a news conference in Washington on Monday, the eve of the vote. "Nothing is perfect. This is a bite out of the apple."

IN BRIEF

Despite unrest, F1 to open next season in Bahrain

NEWS SERVICES

Formula 1 plans to open the 2027 season in Bahrain even as uncertainty remains over this year's races in the Middle East.

F1 released a 24-race schedule for 2027 on Wednesday starting with the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 14 and then Saudi Arabia a week later, with events also scheduled for Qatar and Abu Dhabi at the end of the year. All have long-term contracts to host F1 and Bahrain also hosts preseason testing in February.

Races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were called off this year due to the Iran war. An extra race in Malaysia next month will have Bahrain Grand Prix branding.

The Qatar Grand Prix on Nov. 29 and the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Dec. 6 remain on the schedule. F1 has considered a change to Europe if they can't go ahead but tickets remain on sale for both races.

Bahrain has opened most F1 seasons in recent years and was only moved from that position in 2025 and 2026 because of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Next year's schedule avoids clashes with two other auto racing highlights, the Indianapolis 500 on May 30 and the Le Mans 24-hour race on June 12-13.

F1 scheduled races on the same days as both this year. Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen has said he wants to race at Le Mans in future.

NFL: The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks ruled out QB Sam Darnold for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to the glute injury he suffered in Wednesday's season-opening win. The team described it Monday as a "very unique soft-tissue" injury. There are no plans to place Darnold on injured reserve. Drew Lock, who stepped in for Darnold and quarterbacked the Seahawks to a 13-10 win over the Patriots on Wednesday, is in line to make his first start since 2024 in Darnold's absence... Vikings RB Jordan Mason will miss at least the next four weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured thumb.

Tennis: The WTA Finals will be held in Charlotte, N.C., from 2027-2029 in a move that organizers hope will create “the Super Bowl for women’s sports.” The elite season-ending event in women’s tennis will be played at the Spectrum Center, which is home of the NBA’s Hornets. The year’s top eight singles players and doubles teams qualify for the event. It’s usually held in November. The WTA announced in July that it was opting out of the final year of a three-year hosting arrangement with Saudi Arabia to move this year’s event to Indian Wells, California. There were concerns about going back to Saudi Arabia due to the conflicts in the Middle East. New world No.1 Elena Rybakina won last year’s Finals.

What makes a historically good offense?

Some numbers coach Johnson is chasing

By Sean Hammond CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Bears are 1-0, but quarterback Caleb Williams is going to face a very different challenge in Week 2. Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores is always an enigma.

The Vikings finished second among 32 defenses in Week 1 with a 50% QB pressure rate, according to NFL Pro. The Vikings had four sacks in their season-opening win over the Green Bay Packers. They blitzed an absurd 78.3% of the time in the game. Last season, the Vikings led the NFL with a 46.1% blitz rate.

Williams is 1-3 against the Vikings in his career. The game the Bears won last year was a struggle too. They scored just one touchdown and won on a last-second Cairo Santos field goal at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The good thing for the Bears is that Williams just saw a 51.3% blitz rate Sunday against the Panthers, and he wound up with a 137.5 quarterback rating against the blitz. Williams was 9-for-14 against the blitz for 142 yards and two touchdown passes.

The thing about Flores' defense, though, is that he disguises his blitzers so well. It's difficult to predict who is blitzing on any given down. If Bears coach Ben Johnson wants to have the highest-scoring team ever, his offense is going to have to score against good defenses. They'll see a good one in Sunday.

Here's what other stats, numbers and figures stand out this week.

WHAT DOES A HISTORIC OFFENSE LOOK LIKE?

If Johnson wants to catch the 2013 Denver Broncos, a 59-point opener helps. That Broncos team set the high mark with 606 points (37.9 per game). The 2007 New England Patriots held the record before that with 589 points (36.8 per game).

Also in the top five are the 2018 Kansas City Chiefs (565 points, 35.3 per game), Johnson's 2024 Detroit Lions (564 points, 33.2 per game) and the 2011 Packers (560 points, 35 per game). The 2024 Lions were the only team in that group that benefited from a 17th regular-season game.

After scoring 59 against the Panthers, the Bears need to average 34.3 points over the final 16 games to set a new high mark with 607 points.

“That will always be the goal,” Johnson said after the Week 1 win. “We want to be the highest scoring, we want to have the most wins, we want to win Super Bowls. That’s what we do. We didn’t get into this profession trying to be mediocre, average.”

So what makes a historic offense? Looking at those highest-scoring offenses, all of which have happened relatively recently (since 2007), all five of those offenses ranked in the top three in the NFL in passing yards per game. All five ranked either first or second in passing yards per attempt. Four of the five teams had an MVP quarterback, with the 2024 Lions being the lone exception.

Four of those five teams had two 1,000-yard receivers (or a tight end in the case of Travis Kelce). In 2011, Packers receiver Greg Jennings finished 51 yards shy of joining teammate Jordy Nelson over the 1,000 mark. The Bears haven't had two 1,000-yard receivers since 2013, when Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall did it. The only other instance in Bears history came in 1995, when Curtis Conway and Jeff Graham both reached 1,000 yards.

Of those five teams, only Johnson's 2024 Lions ranked in the top 10 in rushing yards per game. They were by far the most balanced of those five elite offenses, ranking sixth in the run. The 2018 Chiefs, 2013 Broncos and 2007 Patriots were merely average in terms of rushing yards per game, while the 2011 Packers were downright bad, ranking 27th. In fact, none of the top 11 highest-scoring offenses of all time led the NFL in rushing in their respective seasons.

Perhaps most notable, though, is that none of the five teams won the Super Bowl. In fact, of the 25 highest-scoring offenses ever, only three won a championship. Those would be the 1999 St. Louis Rams (15th highest-scoring ever), the 1961 Houston Oilers (23rd highest) in the AFL and the 2009 Saints (25th highest).

THE JOURNEY TO 4,000 YARDS

Williams threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. He needs 3,731 yards to become the first Bears quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards, meaning he needs to average 233.2 yards over the next 16 games to get there.

On both of his touchdown runs, Williams topped 20 mph, according to Next Gen Stats. His 29-yard TD run maxed out at 20.8 mph. Both touchdown runs were among the top-10 fastest ball carriers in Week 1.

THE JOURNEY TO 3,000 YARDS

The Bears ran for 291 yards against the Panthers. If the Bears are going to be the best offense ever, that undoubtedly includes putting up some big numbers in the ground game.

Only seven teams have rushed for 3,000 yards in a season during the Super Bowl era, per Stathead. That includes the Bears franchise record 3,014 yards in 2022, when quarterback Justin Fields was running wild.

After the Week 1 performance, the Bears need to average 169.3 rushing yards over the final 16 games in order to reach 3,000. For reference, the Buffalo Bills led the NFL last season with 159.6 rushing yards per game.

Five of the seven teams to reach 3,000 rushing yards in the Super Bowl era have done it since 2019. The 2019 Ravens hold the record with 3,296 yards in 16 games in 2019. The Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles both surpassed 3,000 yards in 2024. The 2020 Ravens and the 2022 Bears are the other recent teams to do it.

It's worth noting that in 2025 the NFL officially incorporated statistics from the long defunct All-America Football Conference, which folded in 1949, similar to how it incorporated past AFL stats after the AFL-NFL merger. The NFL technically now recognizes the 1948 San Francisco 49ers from the AAFC as the highest-rushing team of all time with 3,663 yards that season. The 49ers did that in a 14-game season, averaging an astounding 261.6 yards per game. That record might never be broken.

The 49ers, Baltimore Colts and Cleveland Browns joined the NFL from the AAFC in 1950. The first iteration of the Bills also began in the AAFC but folded in 1949.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

Per Next Gen Stats, the Bears had three of the top seven most remarkable rushes in Week 1. Based on where the players were on the field when he took the ball, Kyle Monangai was expected to run for 6 yards on the play that became his 61-yard touchdown run.

Some exceptional blocking from everybody made that play possible.

"He actually ran through a good amount of like trash, I would say," said Bears receiver Jahdae Walker, who helped interfere with the defenders chasing Monangai at the end of the play. "(Kalif Raymond) had a great block, Luther (Burden III) had a great block and I was just the last little guy left."

Additionally, D'Andre Swift's runs of 32 and 28 yards were among Next Gen Stats' top seven remarkable runs in Week 1. On the 32-yard run, Swift executed a spin move to escape a would-be tackler and get the Bears into the red zone. Next Gen Stats' model suggested Swift was expected to pick up just 6 yards.

Swift had the second-best rushing EPA (expected points added) in Week 1, behind only Kenneth Walker III of the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift on Wednesday was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

greater frequency last season.

“He understands what we’re trying to get done,” the coach said.

At first glance, the analytics suggest Williams is still taking a lot of time with each pass. His “time to throw” of 3.16 seconds ranked fifth longest among qualifiers.

But those numbers are usually skewed. He's in the company of fellow scramblers who buy time in the pocket with their legs, such as Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson and Allen, who also ranked in the top six.

Ben Johnson said the difference this year is what's going on in Williams' head.

“He asked the right questions, as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “On game day, you never know how it’s going to end up necessarily. But I think he played with a lot of confidence, and when you do that, you’re seeing the field really well.

"He always has done that, but the game slows down to a degree and he's able to get to the right guy a little bit faster than maybe he has in the past. And so, hopefully, that growth continues."

2. D'ANDRE SWIFT WON PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS.

The Bears running back was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after scoring three touchdowns in Week 1. Swift ran for 124 yards and three scores on 18 carries while also catching one pass for 10 yards.

He became the first Bears running back to win the weekly award since Jordan Howard in 2016.

Swift became the first Bears player to win the offensive player of the week award in Week 1 since Matt Forte in 2010.

This was the second time Swift has won the award, also winning in Week 2 of 2023 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“For me personally, shoutout to the offensive line and the receivers,” Swift said. “It wasn’t possible without them. It’s really a team award for real when it comes to me.”

The Bears led all NFL teams in Week 1 with 291 rushing yards. Among qualified ball carriers in Week 1, Swift's plus-8 expected points added (similar to WAR in baseball) was second behind only the Kansas City Chiefs' Kenneth Walker III.

Last week, Swift signed a three-year, \$33.75 million contract extension, which will keep him under team control through the 2029 season.

3. INJURIES AND PARTICIPATION

Right tackle Darnell Wright missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. Defensive tackles Grady Jarrett (rest) and Neville Gallimore (illness) also were held out.

Rookie cornerback Malik Muhammad II was limited with an ankle injury. He was hurt while intercepting Bryce Young in the second quarter Sunday, but he returned in the third.

Also limited were running backs Swift (ankle/knee) and Kyle Monangai (hamstring), defensive lineman Dayo Odeyingbo (shoulder), safety Xavier Woods (groin) and offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo (knee).

Woods and Trapilo missed the opener against the Panthers.
