贝森特推出针对伊朗的金融“D日”
美方公布全面经济打击德黑兰及其贸易伙伴的计划
作者：安娜·奇卡鲁、沙恩·舒安
华盛顿——美国周一公布了针对伊朗的新一轮制裁计划，特朗普政府官员称，这些措施旨在将德黑兰从全球金融体系中切断，而两国间几乎全面且小规模的冲突仍在持续。
上周将此次公告形容为“经济D日”的财政部长罗伯特·贝森特将这些措施描述为对伊朗政府及其贸易伙伴发动全面金融攻势的开端——该群体包括中国、印度、土耳其和阿拉伯联合酋长国。
“如果有人助长德黑兰的气焰，就别指望能享受华盛顿的成果。”贝森特在新闻发布会上表示，“我们不应期望在帮助那些试图摧毁我们体系的人的同时，还能享受体系带来的回报。”
贝森特表示，现在是世界各国领导人在“美国与伊朗之间做出抉择”的时候，并补充称特朗普总统已开始致电外国领导人，要求他们在新一轮制裁启动前做出具体回应。
但当被问及总统何时与贝森特进行了对话及 / 或是否会“点名”时，他未做正面回应。他还表示，次级制裁措施不会立即生效，并辩称政府正试图给予特朗普“头衔”以纠正相关行为。
“我们难道想要摧毁全球金融体系吗？”当一名记者追问其问题是否被误解时，贝森特反问道，“我们认为重要的是重新校准并给予人们一段缓冲期，但他们应当清楚
内华达州起诉美国政府
更多法律行动可能因科罗拉多河缺水问题而引发
撰文：伊恩·赞博
在可能演变为一场旷日持久的科罗拉多河水资源官司中，“内华达州已就特朗普政府计划强行大幅削减水资源一事起诉美国政府。”
在特朗普政府公布该计划仅三天后，该计划要求亚利桑那州凤凰城和加利福尼亚州在未来几年内将用水量削减约10%，若有必要，未来十年内还将实施更大规模的强制性削减，以防止这条因干旱而水位骤降的河流的水库降至极低水平。
南内华达可能会失去超过其已分配的科罗拉多河水资源的50%，而内华达州、科罗拉多州、犹他州、新墨西哥州、怀俄明州和亚利桑那州的600,000人将受到影响。内华达州州长乔·伦巴多，（详见内华达州A7版）
法院对比安科扣押选票提出质疑
州最高法院法官质疑其在Prop. 50选举后扣押600,000张选票的权力
撰文：弗兰克·亨利
加州最高法院法官们严厉质问里弗赛德县警长查德·比安科扣押超过800,000张Prop. 50选票的权力，似乎准备下令归还选票，并严格限制该警长未来扣押类似选举材料的权力。
2月18日，即加州总检察长下令比安科停止扣押的第二天，武装警官被派往收缴大量选票。在随后的日子里，警官们开始了他们从未被指责过的行动——州官士表示，此举可能违反该州选举法中“选票不得被移动”的条款。
特朗普被允许推动新邮寄选票规则
但最高法院尚未批准这些变更实施。邦茨誓言起诉
撰稿人：拉塞尔·拉塞尔、凯文·巴克顿
华盛顿 — 最高法院周一为特朗普总统继续寻求限制邮寄选票使用铺平了道路，但随着11月大选迫在眉睫，这些变更的实施仍存在争议。
加州领导人立即超越最高法院裁决的限制，表示将提起诉讼以阻止特朗普希望实施的变更。
最高法院仅以4.5票的表决结果，由保守派法官裁定批准特朗普律师团队的紧急上诉，并撤销下级法官的命令——该命令曾阻止联邦机构（包括国土安全部和美国邮政署）推进新的联邦法规，这些法规将影响各州及其邮寄选票的使用方式。
特朗普在3月份的一项行政命令中呼吁制定这些法规，指示国土安全部编制各州合格公民选民名单，并要求邮政署仅处理那些提交给国土安全部名单上个人的邮寄选票。
该法律案件允许这些机构继续推进其工作以遵守政府命令，但并未对这些待决规则的合法性做出任何结论。
法院的裁决并不意味着任何措施必然合法或符合州或地方法律。在这一点上，时间将证明一切。
这份未签名的命令代表了六名共和党任命的法官。三名自由派法官在两份不同的意见书中表示异议。
加州官员强调，法院的裁决仍有待进一步观察。（见邦茨，A6）
邦茨退出派拉蒙谈判
他指责该公司在调解人面前泄露信息，试图解决与华纳兄弟探索公司合并的反垄断诉讼
撰稿人：埃里克·贾姆博
加州总检察长罗布·邦茨（Rob Bonts）周一突然退出原定的调解会议，该会议旨在寻求解决针对派拉蒙（与华纳兄弟探索公司价值80亿美元的合并案）的反垄断诉讼。
邦茨在一份声明中指责派拉蒙泄露并歪曲了双方在上周五初步会议中讨论的信息。他表示派拉蒙“蓄意破坏”。
邦茨和派拉蒙（罗兹）的代表上周末晚些时候聚集，为周一的会议制定基本规则，会议原计划让派拉蒙首席执行官戴维·埃利奥特在白天露面。
其中一项规则是调解过程的保密性。然而，在周末期间，一系列新闻报道包含了有关拟议问题的信息。
《华尔街日报》的一篇报道称，该报获得了邦茨准备向派拉蒙提出的交易要点，以换取其放弃诉讼。条款包括要求该公司出售有线电视频道，因为合并后的实体将控制超过10个频道，包括CNN、Cinemax、卡通网络、HBO和Showtime。
邦茨还将要求保持华纳兄弟电影工作室与派拉蒙影业分开——这是埃利奥特的一个条件，他希望打造一个好莱坞超级影业公司。
邦茨周一表示，派拉蒙不仅泄露了和解谈判的实质内容，还歪曲了这些讨论，进一步破坏了公众信任。他指出：“我已退出此次会议。”

乌克兰庆祝独立
基辅附近的基特，乌克兰——周一，欧洲领导人与泽连斯基总统在基辅会面，纪念乌克兰独立35周年之际，俄罗斯继续在该国进行军事存在。
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京发动对邻国战争的关键目标之一，是将乌克兰纳入莫斯科的轨道。2022年2月，俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，而乌克兰议会早在1991年8月24日就投票通过独立，同年晚些时候举行的全国公投也以压倒性多数批准了该决定。
在前线几个月未出现重大变化且和平努力一年多后仍未见明显进展之际，平民伤亡与基础设施损毁不断加剧。
欧盟领导人团结支持乌克兰
美国负责政治事务的副国务卿安迪·伯查姆（Andy Burcham）自1948年以来首次出国访问，与所有欧洲领导人一道，以及欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·奇维科（Antonio Civico）等其他代表，在周一抵达基辅。
乌克兰独立这一抽象概念正面临前所未有的考验。乌克兰外长安德烈·比尔卡在社交媒体上表示：“在这些时刻，各国意识到拥有盟友站在身边是何等重要。”
伯查姆将共同主持一个被称为“世界慈善家”组织的会议，该组织由协助乌克兰抵御俄罗斯攻击的国家组成，美国、法国和德国也将加入。
泽连斯基在基辅圣索菲亚广场发表演讲时表示，欧洲领导人的到场体现了大陆对俄罗斯野心的警惕。
“我们都明白，在这场针对我们——针对乌克兰——的俄罗斯战争中，所决定的远不止乌克兰和东欧的未来，”泽连斯基表示，并补充称外部援助必不可少。
“没有任何国家能在这样的战争中仅凭自身武器支撑，”他说，“没有任何国家能在如此强度的攻击下仅凭一己之力幸存，而无需世界的帮助。”
共同规划导弹计划
来访的领导人承诺进一步提供军事和财政支持。伯查姆预计将宣布其政府已同意允许国防公司MEMA增加与导弹相关的机密信息。这将为法国和乌克兰推进该武器在乌克兰生产的计划铺平道路。
SCALP是美国“暴风影”导弹的法国版本，两者均采用相同技术。
“乌克兰是欧洲的主要东道国，但前线需要欧洲保持警惕，基辅和基辅本身的计划将继续对莫斯科施压，”伯查姆在演讲中表示。
发言人安德烈·比尔卡表示，“克里姆林宫对该计划持‘负面态度’。”他指责英国“参与这场战争”，并支持基辅的计划。
乌克兰已就北约国家协助其对抗俄罗斯的问题举行听证会，尽管与美国的关系在弗拉基米尔·普京总统任内一直处于紧张状态。
与此同时，俄罗斯正从朝鲜和中国获得援助。
爱心捐赠武器游行
乌克兰参谋部在创新无人机技术方面的发展使得俄罗斯在全球范围内的进展达到1,300英里之远。圣索菲亚广场的演讲伴随着本土生产的武器的直接游行。
俄罗斯和乌克兰正试图通过远程

索菲亚广场已为乌克兰首都的独立日做好准备，该国举办了一系列活动。
打击来给俄罗斯的经济造成痛苦、扰乱军事补给并削弱出版物。
乌克兰的远程无人机已多次袭击俄罗斯境内的当地和军事设施，造成了严重后果，并对俄罗斯的多家零售商发动了攻势。
但外国雇员也必须考虑自身需求以及武器生产和蚊虫密度。
在战争后期，乌克兰强大的美制“爱国者”拦截器用于对抗俄罗斯的导弹，其库存已降至$200，在冬季共享审讯能力不足，当俄罗斯的外围防空力量不再是战争的屏障，部分精密拦截器也使乌克兰陷入短缺和脆弱状态。
俄罗斯三名青少年遇难
在俄罗斯南部城市罗斯托夫，三名青少年遇难，六名儿童受伤。据官员和公司称，乌克兰连续第三天袭击了他们的多个仓库及一家在线零售商。
公司表示，在罗斯托夫郊区的一处设施在 overnight 攻击后发生大火。
一架无人机还袭击了南部俄罗斯阿迪格共和国一家中心的场地，阿迪格共和国官员穆拉特·坎皮列夫表示，尽管该公司表示其阿迪格仓库未受损。
总共四处场所似乎遭到袭击。
与此同时，乌克兰总参谋部表示其部队 overnight 击中了国有Ramerovsky中心（一家无人机公司）所在的边境地区，引发火灾。该工厂生产火箭和导弹燃料，乌方称。
俄罗斯国防部表示，其防空系统 overnight 拦截并摧毁了101架乌克兰无人机，覆盖八个俄罗斯地区、克里米亚半岛以及非法于1991年吞并的克里米亚。
该部还表示，其部队 overnight 继续袭击向乌武装部队运送货物的乌克兰港口和船只。俄罗斯还将目标对准了乌克兰的购物中心、超市和加油站。俄罗斯无人机周五白天袭击了乌克兰一家购物中心，造成10人死亡，50人受伤，乌克兰官员称。
乌克兰南部敖德萨地区周一遭到大规模俄罗斯导弹和无人机袭击，包括储存设施和能源基础础设施在内的多处目标受到打击。中央当局报告称。
乌克兰紧急服务部表示，在乌克兰切尔尼戈夫发生俄罗斯无人机袭击，造成18人受伤。

英国将协助基辅制造导弹
作者：西尔维亚·布伊
伦敦——英国首相安迪·伯查姆（Andy Burcham）周一表示，英国将通过分享用于英国制造组件的机密信息，帮助乌克兰自行制造远程导弹。
伯查姆当日与其他国际领导人一同在基辅出席乌克兰独立日庆典。他称，英国将发布由英国制造的SCALP导弹零部件详情，以帮助乌克兰组装这种武器。
然而，专家表示，此举不会立即转化为实战能力——乌克兰在对抗俄罗斯全面入侵的战争中最需要的是何种武器，仍是未知之数。
以下是关于这些导弹及其重要性的关键信息：
SCALP导弹的生产
SCALP导弹是法国生产的版本，是一种无人驾驶、高精度导弹，射程超过50英里。
该导弹长18.7英尺，难以被探测，设计用于打击固定目标，如加固的指挥所和关键基础设施，据MBBA防务公司称。该公司表示，导弹可飞行至少10,000英里，并可延伸至10.英里。
英国的"风暴前兆"巡航导弹和SCALP导弹已装备英国、法国、意大利等国空军及其他国家。这些导弹曾在伊拉克、利比亚和叙利亚冲突中使用。
明年开始的时间表
乌克兰已与法国展开合作。
英国外交大臣詹姆斯·克莱弗利周二表示，法国已同意帮助在乌克兰建立导弹组装生产线并制造新版本武器。目前尚不清楚计划推进到何种程度，或此类导弹何时能投入使用。
伦敦国际战略研究所高级研究员道格拉斯·伯恩斯表示，尽管战争仍在继续，但乌克兰组装的SCALP巡航导弹可以投入使用。
伦敦国王学院弗里曼航空航天研究所研究员阿尼·道森表示，英国的援助将帮助乌克兰度过难关，但可能要到明年才能见效。
"乌克兰真正需要的是防护，以应对俄罗斯弹道导弹袭击，"他说道。
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周日表示，该国首个战时爱国者防空系统已投入使用，尽管俄罗斯弹道袭击仍在增加。短缺问题尤为严重，因为SCALP导弹及欧洲伙伴国正在努力应对无效果的局面。
道森表示，SCALP导弹能为乌克兰提供打击能力。
"你可以用它摧毁俄罗斯的后方阵地，这些阵地正是他们发射弹道导弹的地方，"他说道。
伦敦大学联合服务研究所军事科学主任马修·拉尔表示，乌克兰自行研发弹道和巡航导弹将补充其现有的无人机和火炮能力，这些武器相对廉价且易于部署。
SCALP导弹配备标准化弹头，以高速撞击目标，能穿透加固掩体并在无此类弹头的情况下摧毁深层目标——目前乌克兰尚无此能力。
英国周一的声明引发俄罗斯方面的回应。
俄罗斯总统新闻秘书德米特里·佩斯科夫指责英国"将战争火把递到基辅手中"，伯查姆随即驳斥了这一说法。
"谁点燃了战火？"伯查姆周一向记者提问时反问道。
英国长期援助乌克兰
英国在2023年成为首个向乌克兰提供远程打击武器的国家，当时英国向基辅提供了数十枚"暗影河"导弹。
这些导弹使乌克兰能够打击俄罗斯境内目标，以及前线和俄占区阵线。
英国还通过其他方式帮助乌克兰发展低成本打击武器。
官方一直与英国国防企业合作，测试一种新型地面打击防护弹头，其射程超过50英里，同时启动了一种重达400磅的强力弹头。
其工作基于美联社报道。

A 3.5-5.5% 有线！二战炸弹由德国团队在2007年定义。数千个噩梦仍然存在。
欧洲野火引燃二战遗留炸弹
部分历史战场遗失的武器在高温下爆炸。
撰文：弗兰克·麦克奈尔
华盛顿：比利时——今年夏天席卷欧洲的野火已暴露出一个潜在的致命威胁，该威胁源于一场高层袭击、大量雨弹以及误投的第一次和第二次世界大战炸弹。这些炸弹在火灾中未能得到及时响应。
部分武器在高温下已发生爆炸。在荷兰，一支爆炸物处理小组被派往火灾现场，检查林堡省因战火威胁的爆炸物。
气候变化助长的野火与爆炸表明，战场“长期燃烧”已濒临失控，伦敦大学亚非学院和平与冲突研究所的尼克·尼尔（Ny61）表示：“气候变化正在引发最糟糕的局面，并超越此前的预期。”
今年1月的暴雨为野火创造了理想环境，一项研究发现，二战遗留武器为火灾提供了充足燃料。
火焰蔓延至旧战场
随着火势蔓延，火焰吞噬了长期以来已知藏有未爆武器的区域，其中最严重的一次发生在波尔多西南部的一场大火，该地区被认为埋藏着大量未被识别的二战遗留炸弹。
在比利时东部的林尼地区，当地居民听到“数磅重的爆炸声”，应急服务部门也已调整应对措施。该地区道路中断，当地媒体禁止拍摄消防员使用无线电的画面。
二战期间，炮弹、炸弹和地雷遍布全省各地，这些被称为“高地”的区域长期以来一直是未爆弹药的重灾区。当年，德军的民族主义机场曾遭轰炸，一名普通士兵和当地历史学家伯纳德·科拉德（Bernard Collard）在此丧生。科拉德经营着位于比利时与德国边境附近的TransMauers博物馆，该馆收集了大量战争遗物。
“当你面对这样的血腥景象时，根本无法确定爆炸物的位置，”他说道。他回忆起父亲曾拆除过一枚未爆炸的轰炸机炸弹。
高地火灾发生在跨越德国边境的区域，火势正在一处混合战场上蔓延，纳粹部队曾在此与盟军激战。这场火灾甚至逼近了更为人所知的阿登战役和比利时前线，后者持续了40天，造成约10,000名美国人死亡、20,000名德国人死亡，距今已有70年。
成千上万的爆炸物举报电话
科拉德获准用金属探测器勘察昔日战场——如今已成为知名的游击队员和农场工人活动区。他曾发现一个藏有机关枪、靶场、香烟售卖点，甚至一具人类骨骼的地点。
"永远不知道会发现什么，而且绝不能掉以轻心，"科拉德站在曾是血腥战场一侧的田野中说。附近的蓝莓灌木丛、一些古老的山丘、战壕和深坑历历在目。
他经常与比利时扫雷小组合作。"这是我们历史的一部分。我们与之共存，"科拉德说。
未探明的爆炸物在野火中更加危险，因为土地可能引发爆炸物爆炸，北莱茵-威斯特法伦州发言人埃马斯·特里斯表示，且在德国边境另一侧也是如此。
比利时国防部表示，每周都会收到该地区要求协助拆除爆炸物的请求，但从未考虑过与比利时其他地区相比，这些地区的情况更为严峻。因此，它请求在西部地区进行人满为患的扩展，当地城镇（如尼尔斯——因在二战期间以砍伐树木硬化土地而臭名昭著——）向国家消防部门求助，而"在人与战时遗迹之间"的对峙正在多地上演。
每年在边境另一侧，比利时的布拉比松军械销毁与爆破处理部门需处理1至10,000枚爆炸物，并清除200至100吨弹药，其中100吨来自两次世界大战。
火焰并非唯一威胁
强风也助长了旧式武器的暴露。
在斯洛伐克，共和国海军水雷被警方从水中拉出并运至城镇进行控制性爆破，而匈牙利的玛格丽特桥在二战炸弹因水位下降而显露后也被封闭。Bio-Sapre的玛格丽特桥在水位回落时发现了一枚二战炸弹。
在莱茵-威斯特法伦州，当局还在住宅中发现了二战遗留物。
亚利桑那大学研究员克里斯蒂安·鲍尔斯与尼尔斯合著了一篇关于欧洲野火与未探明战争遗留物的文章，他写道："战争与冲突的遗产正在卷土重来，这在气候变化的背景下尤为突出。"
"它正以我们在一段时间内不得不应对的方式，巡回展示战争与冲突的军团。"

丹麦首相对未经请求的美容建议感到厌倦
美联社
哥本哈根 — 丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森对收到未经请求的美容建议感到厌倦。
这位40岁的首相周一在Instagram上发布了一段视频，视频显示她刚从乌克兰出差归来，在战火纷飞的环境中承受了空气和压力，结果却发现一条来自一名初级外科医生的消息，对方主动提出要为她"修复脸上的小斑点"。
"这些年来，我收到了多少关于我的外表的消息，我都数不过来了，"弗雷德里克森写道。"特别是有人说我的牙齿很丑，这很糟糕。还有人说我的鼻子上有丑陋的泪痣，并好心地建议我去除掉。"
首相发布了一张截图，图中是一位整形外科医生在喝咖啡的热门话题，但她没有指认对方身份。
她还发布了自己的回应："天哪，不。我对自己的身体很满意——我真的不需要一位男性整形外科医生来对它发表意见。"
弗雷德里克森是社会民主党人，她表示作为丹麦第二位女首相，她对自己长期以来的艰苦任期感到厌倦，这使她成为欧洲任职时间最长、经验最丰富的领导人之一。她自2008年中期以来一直领导着欧盟成员国丹麦。
她承诺将继续坚定反对特朗普政府对格陵兰岛——这个王国半自治领土——的野心，并继续支持乌克兰对抗俄罗斯的侵略战争。
在Instagram上，弗雷德里克森强调她从未干涉过他人的身体，并表示"我对自己的身体完全满意——当你作为一名女性接近它时，它就是这样。"
她补充道："如果你要给我写信，你完全可以，我希望你能把时间用来谈论一些更有意义的事情。而不是我的鼻子。"
这位首相还表示，这些未经请求的美容建议和提议让她感到"消化不良"，并称"今天我要对所有那些必须忍受每天围绕我们的完美说教的人说：够了。"

据一名左翼人士及一名与六名被驱逐者保持联系的律师周一透露，上周被美国驱逐至利比里亚的被驱逐者下飞机后，反而被送往赤道几内亚——另一个非洲国家。该国与特朗普政府签署了第三国大型联合协议。
在一系列执法协议下，特朗普政府已将数千人驱逐至二十几个国家，无论是其本国还是第三国，均与其移民条件相关。移民法律的无序状态引发了对其返回情况的质疑，并将其送往他们领导的国家。
周四在利比里亚拒绝下机的群体中包括四名古巴男性、一名巴西男性和一名土库曼斯坦女性，该人士称。
侧面：载有被美国驱逐者的航班于周四抵达利比里亚明尼阿波利斯附近的机场。
据该航班上的一名乘客称，该群体拒绝改变航线，表示利比里亚“不是他们的国家”，且他们在那里会有危险。为避免报复，他要求匿名。
他说，其他乘客在利比里亚下机是因为他们害怕官员会强迫他们。
亚洲裔美国人推动行动亚特兰大分部主任梅托迪·尹（Metodyth Yoon）表示，需要进入利比里亚飞机的被驱逐者被告知他们将被遣返回美国，但在最后两小时被分散至赤道几内亚。
“当他们抵达赤道几内亚时，场面极其令人心碎且混乱，他们——”尹说。她表示，一些人戴着镣铐且极度痛苦，包括一名古巴男性。尹称，该古巴男性患有大型腹部肿瘤，使用尿袋，需定期排液。
她补充说，目前被扣押的六人与约40名其他被驱逐移民一起被关押在赤道几内亚的一家酒店内，但该酒店没有医务人员。
尹表示，近几个月来，酒店条件持续恶化，没有供应，守卫被指控威胁、虐待并殴打被驱逐者。
赤道几内亚未立即回应寻求置评的请求。
在特朗普政府的一项不透明的500万笔交易中，赤道几内亚全能总统西奥多·摩根（Theodore Morgan）表示，他已将酒店改为监狱，用于关押任何试图从美国被驱逐者。

美国准备史上最大规模签证撤销行动
该行动可能面临诉讼，或影响20万外国人
作者：马修·李
华盛顿 — 特朗普政府正准备撤销最多20万名已申请美国庇护身份的外国人的商务签证。若实施，此举将成为美国历史上最大规模的单次签证撤销行动，并可能面临法律挑战。
据美联社和美国官员获得的国务院文件显示，在接下来的数周内，国务院预计将宣布撤销额外的2美元和3美元签证，这些签证签发时间在200年至1,000年之间，持有人曾寻求或正在寻求庇护。此行动将与国土安全部协调实施。
他表示，对于尚未收到的签证数量，评论将持续进行，撤销签证的数量将在滚动基础上完成。
官员们表示，撤销行动不一定会导致这些人的立即遣返。大多数目前有待决庇护案件的外国人将被重新评估，并可能失去其商务或商务转调签证身份，相关官员在匿名条件下透露，因撤销行动尚未最终确定。
自特朗普去年第二次就任总统以来，其政府持续收紧对签证申请者的审查力度 — 要求提供更多社交媒体历史记录信息，要求提交单独的签证申请簿，并直接拒绝向某些国家公民签发签证。
周一在社媒帖文中，副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道批评那些试图利用商务签证进入美国并寻求庇护的人。他写道：“庇护不应成为规避移民法的长期漏洞。”兰道在X平台上援引了一名1851年来美的哥伦布人案例，该人持旅游签证并伪称寻求庇护。
$1签证通常签发给商务旅行，$10签证通常签发给旅游、陆路或其他用途。从文件或官员的表述中，若发现申请者寻求或已寻求庇护，将受此次撤销影响。
现有$1和$10签证申请者被要求承诺不会在美国申请庇护，并证明其有意返回原居住国。
过去三天内，国务院已撤销约20万份签证，涉及因谋杀、抢劫、强奸、抢劫等刑事犯罪被遣返的外国人，以及公开反对美国政策的人士。
政府还加大对“生育旅游”的打击力度，该项目据称被外国孕妇用于赴美生子，使其子女自动获得出生公民权。特朗普曾多次试图废除出生公民权，但均被法院（包括最高法院）驳回。
国务院文件显示，对现有2美元和3美元签证持有人的筛查始于国务院获悉公民及移民服务局有关庇护请求的信息后。

快速移动的内华达野火危及数千里诺居民
作者：亨利·戴利 来源：HAWANA
一场野火在全球范围内肆虐，并在内华达山脉蔓延，其蔓延部分已逼近里诺市的社区，迫使当局敦促超过90,000名居民撤离家园。
这场火势失控的速度已超出人类控制范围，但人们担心，不断变化的风向可能将大火推向内华达州最大城市（除拉斯维加斯都市圈外）新开发且人口密集的社区。
由于疏散行动和保持道路畅通以供紧急情况使用，瓦肖县的道路于周一关闭。内华达州州长在该县宣布进入紧急状态，并部署国民警卫队协助空中灭火和保护已疏散社区，加强里诺市中心区域的安全。
在一个路障处，周一当地居民因无法返回家园而倍感压力。
“这里又不是森林大火，为什么国民警卫队会在这里？”一位居民喊道。
当局周日晚些时候表示，霍克大火的蔓延面积已扩大，消防员正在扩大规模，但仍在努力阻止大火蔓延至高速公路并威胁住宅和商业区。目前火势已得到9%的控制。
这场大火于周六开始，到周日已蔓延至超过23平方英里。这是过去两周内该县发生的第三起大型野火——据消防官员称，均由人类活动引发。他们尚未说明霍克大火是蓄意纵火还是意外。至少有6人受伤——包括首批响应者和3名平民。
社交媒体上发布的视频显示，房屋和汽车化为废墟，仅有三分之一的居民保住了生命。
许多居民在大火爆发后几乎没有时间疏散。
“最近，我还以为它像是在街道上一样，”Ruby Brighorn说。她在1964年参加完音乐会后刚回到家，正好位于疏散区。周一她返回步行到家中取回更多财物。
“简直想哭，我只想为第二次机会祈祷。我刚刚拿到了我认为需要的东西，”Brighorn说。
一些周六发现烟雾的人误以为是过去两周一直在燃烧的消防演习火。
内华达州西部边缘的大部分地区本周因强风和相对湿度低而处于未覆盖状态，国家林火中心表示。
微软公司的条件在美国西部引发了今夏野火的泛滥。全国范围内，过去20年来同期野火数量最多，超过10,000起，据国家消防中心统计。
边境巡逻队逮捕水手之父
作者：雷蒙德·金尼 纽约 来自布鲁克林
当路易斯·曼努埃尔·阿维莱斯被移民官员逮捕时，他的儿子正在"亚伯拉罕·林肯"号军舰上服役——该舰创下了美国军舰连续航行1,000天的纪录，引发了人们对供应短缺和水手心理健康问题的担忧。
据其妻子阿皮拉·阿维莱斯称，现年40岁的阿维莱斯在离开家仅五分钟去购物后被逮捕。她表示，丈夫作为一名水手在佛罗里达州新西部工作，持有在美国工作的许可证。阿维莱斯原籍尼加拉瓜，在美国生活了30年。
"他只为工作，或是为了养家糊口。他是个好父亲。他深爱着孩子们。"阿皮拉·阿维莱斯说。
阿维莱斯的逮捕发生在移民执法部门推进大规模驱逐政策之际，该政策针对军人家庭，每天通过某种移民程序逮捕数十名父母及其家庭成员。
美联社在首次统计中发现，至少有六名家庭成员被驱逐，一人主动离境。政府并不知情。一名现役士兵在联邦移民拘留所被关押超过一个月后，在最后一刻被从驱逐出境的飞机上移除，飞往巴西——美联社的报道显示。
军方一项移民福利允许现役军人及退伍军人的配偶、子女和父母在境内获得合法移民身份。但并非所有人都符合条件——例如那些持有签证的人或已在边境申请合法身份的人。
美国国土安全部在一份声明中表示，边境巡逻队周六在西部地区逮捕了路易斯·曼努埃尔·阿维莱斯，他将面临20,000美元的保释金，国土安全部寻求将其驱逐出境。
"家庭成员在军队服役并不意味着他们可以违反我国法律。"该部门周日补充道，并称特朗普政府"不会选择性执法"。
阿维莱斯在脸书帖子中表示，他已在"亚伯拉罕·林肯"号上连续工作12小时轮班超过200天，该舰正在结束中东部署返回纽波特纽斯。此次部署引发了人们对长期远离陆地的服役人员、食品短缺以及舰船及设备压力的广泛担忧。
约书亚·阿维莱斯在帖子中写道，他仍在"林肯"号上服役，为这个给予我一切的国家而战。当他于周六上午接到父亲被拘留的电话时——
"这让我心碎。我不知道在每天12小时的工作中，如何面对父亲可能被当作罪犯对待的现实。"他写道。
约书亚的姐姐丽贝卡（28岁）表示，约书亚参军部分原因是他认为这会改善父亲获得合法身份的机会，"他将不再生活在被逮捕的恐惧中"。
她说与约书亚分离——她称之为"灵魂"——让她备受煎熬。
我花了几周时间没有收到他的消息，"Brigade说。她一接到他的电话，被告知他吃不饱饭后，她说她已经花了几百美元为他寄去了装有食品和卫生用品的包裹——数量虽少，但更多的是储备。许多家庭也同样反映，寄去的包裹在运送记录中显示为未送达。
Joshua"应该很快就能回家了，"Delgado说。"可他父亲还没等到他回家。"
根据妻子的说法，这次长时间的部署对Luis Aviles造成了很大压力。他告诉妻子，自己正期盼着部署终于结束。然而几个月后，儿子仍未归来，Aviles感到失望，她说。
"他想拥抱儿子，因为已经好几个月没见到他了，"她说。

正义们批评扣押选票
[Bluana，来自A1版]
布扎罗夫的律师布鲁泽尔·N·巴托表示：“佃户们的时间是缓慢的路径。”
在布扎罗夫的律师之后为警长辩护的赫尔茨，与原告并无太大关联，称布扎罗夫仅是在行使其法律自由裁量权。
法庭的案件在第二次听证会上，并调取了首份文件“Electrastal”。
该章节自超过10,000次起被作为未经证实的计划的一部分，旨在增加色彩信用，而法庭超过10,000次起便已落空。这一利息较官方统计数字约短缺40,000次，引发严重质疑。
官员们辩称，计算机统计与可能性之间的差异是“本可避免的善举”——这一结果源于疲惫的官员被授予办公室信用额度，“他们无法完全坐视不理”。
这是一项试点计划，并非重大投资，是在公众要求下，在所有其他职责之外进行的。为完成这些手写工作，他们不得不让案件成为现实。法庭的案件，在此背景下表示，当——谁代表布扎罗夫的律师——选民登记官Art Threes出席听证会时。
两次尝试均以每股半价的第二次听证会告终。法庭随即敦促官员假设试点计划将——
布扎罗夫及其盟友坚称这一差异是证据，并认为刑事法律授权警长绕过该州详细的选举法规，以及律师的广泛权力，以彻查此事。
法官们多次敦促巴托重新审视刑事法律赋予警长的一般权力如何能凌驾于该州选举规则的具体性之上——这一立场似乎将动摇标准化的基础规则。
他们还对布扎罗夫“违反直觉”的主张提出质疑，即巴托的“机会”规则对该州当选警长仅具咨询性，而不具有法律效力。
“它不仅违反直觉——再说一次，我们已经说过了，”助理法官伊布拉·奥尔达纳·F·戈顿说道，“我们只需看看字面意思。‘监督’一词理应如此，为何现在要另作他想？”
法庭的审理涉及加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的“民权项目”代表他人参与诉讼，以及河滨县地方检察官办公室和加州州警局。阿桑已驳斥了布扎罗夫的多项主张。
但它同时也加入了对选民登记官的诉讼，并在UCLA一案中被列为共同被告，尽管在大部分州的案件中，它支持原告。
在其声明中，河滨县法律顾问马克·C·泰斯签署的声明称，限制和选民拥有2项权利，并就瑟斯是否应无视密封的令状并下令逮捕而非扣押选票提出了狭义争议。他们还质疑瑟斯是否有义务亲自出庭阻止此次扣押。
UCLA在60个州发声，称“登记官有义务以更好的方式公开处理选票”。
“我知道这很强硬，”泰斯（UCLA“投票权项目”成员）在80岁时表示，“登记官有义务立即、妥善且公开地宣布，或至少在公开场合立即进入法庭——在选票移动前对其进行测试。”
该裁决——最糟糕的是特朗普政府已转向支持下述立场，并暗示可能扩大该州选举动荡的结果。UCLA在关键时刻敦促法院给予支持。
“这一点必将再次显现，”泰斯说，“这些是公众的选票，这也是为什么选举法被称为‘最佳’——因为公众有权参与其中。”
高等法院裁决并非终局
[选举规则，见A1版] 并不允许对州级问题采取最终实施行动。
加州总检察长鲍勃·莱塔（Bob Leta）在协助领导各州联盟——针对特朗普命令——时称州办公室命令。"我并非在指出任何程序问题，且远非州级问题的终局。"
"裁决并未触及实质内容，我们认为当实质问题被审议时——届时我们将提起新诉讼——且本案的多数意见——我们将胜诉，因为总统无权决定选举的时间、地点和方式，且他正通过一项繁琐命令试图攫取大量权力，"班塔（Banta）表示。
班塔称，法院认定州法律"明确"，"明确"地要求因最终门户服务规则未落实而无法实施新限制，并允许担保人门户服务在周五绕行——"而今最终规则已落实，我们将提出质疑，并从一开始就拥有它。"
这份40页的新规实施了特朗普行政命令的部分内容，要求州办公室在读票时检查信封，并以联邦政府的名义对其进行外观审查。
班塔表示，办公室专家在九、十份报告中，有更低的比例阻止特朗普命令的变更，另有80份则支持。该40页文件称，若高等法院在邮寄截止日期前再次介入，他预期其将承认总统无权干预选举政策。
洛根（Even Logan），洛杉矶县州办公室登记官，表示该州距离终局尚远。
"随着我们接近这一问题，首批六张选票在11月30日前生效，但必须认识到，仍有三项法规正面临积极诉讼和解释，"洛根在《洛杉矶时报》的一份声明中表示。"我们将强烈反对州决定，但选票需确保个人充分了解并清楚该决定，以及投票流程。"
最高法院认为，下级法院对州办公室命令的约束性裁决推翻了特朗普命令，因该工作系违法。法院称，州办公室是加州最终且唯一的州级权威。
法院写道，特朗普的行政命令"从总统内部指向其下属机构，某些机构在法律下既不被要求也不被禁止采取任何行动，且与该决定无关。"
约30%的全国州办公室命令——在2010年——通过邮寄方式投出。"我长期坚持邮寄投票同样安全，包括月末投票。"
随着法院周一的裁决，总统可能在30天和40天内编纂州办公室记录，并在投票前对其进行审查。然而，加州及其他州需遵守州法，"法院称。
县级政府已承认该州在执法应用方面存在潜在风险，并向全国选举官员发出警告：若不努力确保非公民无法在其选举中投票，可能面临法律后果。
布雷迪提及了政府发出的此类警告。他向州提供了各州已遭受的损害证据，并为下级法院暂停实施法律的裁决提供了理由。
他写道，政府已承认州决定需考虑"该决定"，"在特定情况下，该决定并非可修正的，取决于相关证据。"州决定旨在"澄清违反联邦法律的行为，以维护州决定。"
今天的裁决并未涉及该州在2010年11月30日之后的行政任期内是否仍有效的问题。"州退休金管理局"在一份由大法官埃琳娜·卡根（Elena Kagan）撰写的记录中写道："她这样做是否暗示班泽（Banzer）的董事会应成为州立法者，授权实施总统的决定——这仅是这些挑战的一个表现。"
萨顿、柯克·布朗指出，该地区的法律被驳回，同时也指出了多数投票的限制，并批评其未能"解释何时、确切来说，在何时推出非公民选举规则——之后，未能履行、违宪利益，以及所有电力压力。"
特朗普的行政命令称其为"彻底核查"（"cutting"）联邦选举。加利福尼亚州及其他22个民主党州数日后使用该州的门户服务对该州选举实施新的限制。听证会与宪法赋予各州及国会监管选举的权力，而总统则——
第2巡回区的班泽（Banzer）及第2巡回法院同意对该州选举提出的挑战。该选举令自班泽的选举后生效。
上诉案为特朗普诉加利福尼亚州裁决。第2巡回区的班泽及民主党州均表示反对。

内华达州起诉特朗普政府水资源政策
[Nevada，来自A1版] 公开表示，州长在周一宣布该法律时表示：
“这不是政治姿态，”兰多奈特表示，“这是一个关乎生存的问题，涉及占我州约三分之二公民的社区。”
过去20年来，随着全球变暖加剧严重干旱，科罗拉多河水库水位急剧下降。最大的两个水库——米德湖和鲍威尔湖——水位从未如此之低。
内华达州领导人表示，根据该计划，该州每年30万英亩英尺的配额可能被削减至仅98,300英亩英尺，他们称这将严重破坏拉斯维加斯及周边城市。
“这一削减幅度对一个主要大都市区来说根本无法承受，”内华达州土地谈判代表兼南内华达水务局总经理约翰·比顿宁格表示，“这将对我们提供安全、可靠供水能力产生根本性影响。”
拉斯维加斯地区约40%的用水来自该河流。过去20年来，该地区已通过消除多处耗水草坪并禁止从硬性离职者转向新信息等措施，将用水量减少了约40%。
“我们已充分证明自身适应能力，能在更少用水下运转得更好，”比顿宁格表示。
科罗拉多河为从丹佛到圣地亚哥的约3,000万人口供水，以及为50个农业地区供水。约四分之三的水资源用于农业，其中许多用于饲养牲畜以及种植莴苣、西兰花和其他作物。
今年，落基山脉积雪量创历史新低，积雪不足导致水库水位持续走低。
过去三年来，各州进行了多次谈判，试图达成一项七州协议，但三个下游州—。
汤姆·里内哈夫德（Tom Rinehaafde），亚利桑那州首席谈判代表，上周表示该州正在“重新争取可能采取法律行动的权利”。
例如，亚利桑那州因中央亚利桑那项目（一条通往西部和得克萨斯州的运河）几乎与其他评估机构一样古老，导致其拥有低等级水权，并被列为最先接受处理的对象。在特朗普政府的计划下，亚利桑那州通过运河获取的大部分或全部用水可能被切断。
中央亚利桑那项目的总经理布伦达·伯曼（Brenda Burman）称联邦计划存在“缺陷”，并表示“依赖科罗拉多河的每个州都应参与解决方案”。
其机构在书面声明中表示，在2008年后，联邦计划将允许对亚利桑那州实施“严格、有害且难以调整的用水配额”。
内华达州的案件很可能在进入美国最高法院之前就已确定，该州提出了强有力的主张，尽管结果难以预测，亚利桑那州立大学的斯科特·拉拉德（Scott Larrad）如是说。
“科罗拉多河的诉讼不仅关乎各州分配多少用水，更关乎《美国宪法》规定谁拥有或应拥有做出该决定的权力。”
拉拉德在一篇文章中表示。
他表示，该案可能需要数年时间，而可怕的是，在2008年，该州可能不得不在此期间寻找解决方案。
诉讼远非理想的科学手段，且承担着巨大的风险与不确定性，这是所有人都想避免的。拉拉德表示，诉讼也有其益处。当与该州沟通不畅时，局势会变得更加紧张。
最高法院上一次介入科罗拉多河重大争端，还是在其2003年对“亚利桑那州诉加利福尼亚州”案的里程碑式裁决中。
加利福尼亚州使用的科罗拉多河水量超过其他任何州。由于加利福尼亚州水务官员已表示该州正在考虑使用
对伊朗贸易伙伴的施压运动
[伊朗，来自A1] 表示将迅速采取行动，且我们尚未结束。
这场施压运动将以特朗普政府已实施的其他解决方案为基础，旨在推动一项协议。
特朗普最新的对东方经济施压是一项熟悉的策略，总统们使用金融手段来阻止中国在其核计划上的商业行为。在奥巴马总统于2007年达成核协议前，每任总统都曾试图将伊朗带上谈判桌，但该协议因共和党批评而广受质疑。在特朗普政府首个任期内退出该协议后，新的“最大压力”运动未能达成新协议。
特朗普决定重拾经济胁迫策略，向伊朗发出信号：美国正在采取行动。
伊朗方面已对这一举动进行反制，在贝内特开始发言前就已反驳华盛顿的策略。
外交部长阿巴斯·阿尔拉吉兹告诉立法者采取行动，制裁构成了数十年美国施压因素的延续。伊朗外交部发言人埃特拉·巴哈姆表示，他将支持任何抵制美国“非法行为”的国家，并称伊朗最高国家安全委员会将
财政部长斯科特·贝内特在宣布新一轮
经济施压可能通过所有渠道关闭收入来源，这一威胁将波及全球能源市场。
这一做法凸显了华盛顿策略的核心赌注。贝内特的计划不是孤立伊朗，而是可能通过伊朗与伊朗的关系挤压中国和印度等主要经济体，这可能引发对美外交危机。
其影响还可能超出外交层面——全球市场的些许动荡也可能加剧特朗普在国内面临的风险，即在选举前美国民众对经济和中东冲突支持度的摇摆。伊朗制裁还导致美国政府与加拿大展开单独的贸易战，为市场增添不确定性。
新华盛顿能否对伊朗贸易伙伴施加压力仍是一个悬而未决的问题。
据美中经济与安全审查委员会数据，中国与伊朗的双边贸易额接近100 亿美元，且截至2007年，中国为伊朗未担保的原油出口支付了约6120 亿美元。该委员会称，这使中国成为伊朗原油最大买家，占伊朗石油出口的40%以上。目前尚不清楚特朗普是否已就制裁与中国领导人习近平进行沟通。但两国领导人定于下月在华盛顿会晤，为当下外交增添变数。
其他贸易伙伴已开始采取未知行动。
中国石油天然气集团公司（中石油）上周表示已暂停与伊朗交易，此举紧随指控伊朗向误导威胁发射两枚导弹的指控之后。
伊朗政府的外交部官员表示，对伊朗的金融贸易、商业往来和金融交易的公开活动已暂停，直至进一步行动。他补充称，伊朗“坚定致力于维护国际金融体系的完整性”。
本·内特周一表示，他预计其他国家将采取类似行动，因为我们继续参与其中。
这位国会议员上周在《金融时报》的书面发言中表示，此次回应是“对外国针对对手采取的最强大金融行动”。
本·内特写道，那些仍与伊朗保持金融和商业联系的国家将使其经济更加重要，而那些不这样做的国家将面临“缺乏繁荣”的终结。
“任何国家若成为摇摇欲坌政权的金融动脉，都应预期分享其金融成果。”
他写道：“成为恐怖主义的庇护所，在美利坚合众国眼中，即成为全球和平的敌人。”
在周一的声明前，特朗普总统在Truth Social上发文称此举“完全落后”。
与此同时，伊朗央行行长表示，美国已对伊朗采取了所有可能的行动，而央行数月来一直在增持外汇储备。他上周表示，伊朗的原油出口“没有完全停止”。
他问道：“美国人已经做了所有能做的，那他们还能做什么？”他在接受塔斯尼姆通讯社采访时表示。
尽管他保证央行正在努力防止货币贬值，但该国货币在黑市上仍难以保持在每美元约110万里亚尔的历史低点。央行的官方汇率约为110万里亚尔兑1美元。
尽管有人质疑对特朗普施加更多经济压力的效果，但本·内特威胁要针对伊朗的贸易伙伴——尤其是中国、土耳其和伊朗——这些国家共同占伊朗外部进口的近四分之三，此举无疑将令伊朗雪上加霜。
据经济复杂性观察站的数据，伊朗作为运输枢纽，承担着从中国进口零部件并将其转运至伊朗的任务。伊朗的经济报告显示，其潜在的工业部门也依赖巴西和土耳其等重要经济体。

莫尔帕克学院院长表示，STEM影响计划为学生提供了服务，学生保留率和毕业率更高。
莫尔帕克学院不再为攻读理科学位的拉丁裔学生提供专门辅导。
《贝克斯菲尔德州报》时隔多年首次决定，在秋季学期前不再为社区大学转学生举办多日迎新活动。
而中谷的西希尔斯社区学院区今年在学生获得高中文凭前将估算学费削减。
在加利福尼亚州各地，学院和大学正在制定并实施深度项目和服务，这些项目和服务此前由联邦针对西班牙裔服务机构的拨款资助。这些是自特朗普去年上任后，联邦政府宣布这些项目具有歧视性并拒绝使用以来，首次使用高等教育拨款。
今年早些时候，一些学院曾希望能获得新的拨款，因为联邦预算维持了对希尔斯及其他少数族裔服务机构项目的资助，以及http: / mfs.faamac.com / after-director。
但近几个月来，乐观情绪消退，许多学院被迫在学生返校迎接新学年时取消或缩减项目。
尽管预算协议中获得了资金，但该拨款计划属于酌情拨款。这意味着是否分配拨款取决于特朗普政府的决定，而教育部迄今为止尚未表示计划这样做。
国会于1992年设立了针对拉丁裔学生的高等教育指定项目（1993年比较），首批拨款分配至1992年。有建议称，这些拨款惠及了拥有大量低收入和拉丁裔学生的学院，资助了双录取、辅导服务及扩大STEM领域准入的倡议等项目。
要获得1993年指定资格，一所学院必须有20%的本科生为拉丁裔学生。一旦被指定为西班牙裔服务机构，学院历来能够申请其拨款的75%（12项和75%的拨款）。
加利福尼亚州拥有97 100%的此类机构，远超其他任何州。这一比例在社区学院尤为突出：该州87个社区学院校区中有88个是希尔斯机构，加州州立大学31个校区中有32个是希尔斯机构。白宫的社区学院至少获得了1亿拨款，而加州州立大学的校区估计也从拨款中获得了1亿资金。
全国范围内，学院和大学在1992年拨款中损失了39.875 亿美元，据报告显示。

“作为移民，人们并不完全了解如何适应大学体系。这里有很多术语、很多规则和流程，对于一个普通学生来说可能很容易，但对于我们这些刚入学的人来说却很难，”他说道。
皮内达未能在圣莫尼卡学院完成学位。他最终搬到俄亥俄谷地，又尝试了5-7年、6-10年、10-15年，并在文图拉县的穆尔帕克学院以非全日制学生身份注册。
这次，皮内达的经历大不相同，这要归功于他参与的STEM Impacts项目。该项目由补助金资助，旨在帮助低收入或拉丁裔学生获得学位，无论是护理、计算机网络系统工程还是其他专业。
通过该项目，他结识了一位同伴导师，并能立即使用电脑，导师帮助皮内达选对了课程。他还获得了97%的生活津贴，皮内达通常用这笔钱来回校园通勤。
皮内达本学期有望拿到副学士学位，但他将不得不在没有Impacts项目支持的情况下完成学业，因为该项目的资助将于春季到期。
每年约有10名学生参与该项目，他们的留校率和毕业率均高于同龄人。穆尔帕克学院院长表示：
“我们原本希望能申请到另一笔资助，继续开展我们一直在做的美好工作，但现在这已不再可能。”
“然后，我们的希望被无情粉碎”
过去三年来，希望失败州立贝克斯菲尔德分校的学生们受益于一项延长的暑期项目。参与为期三到五天的项目的学生深度参观了校园，与学生支持和领导团队见面，并参加了一门强化写作课程以满足现代教育要求。该项目面向所有转学学生开放，而非仅针对拉丁裔学生。
该项目对戴维斯·里瑟奇（Davis' Research）很有帮助，他2011年从贝克斯菲尔德学院转学而来。里瑟奇在高中阶段就辍学了，他说该项目对他来说是“很好的桥梁”，帮助他理解如何适应大学生活。
英语专业的罗斯-史密斯（Rose-Smith）也从项目中受益，在项目剩余时间里与英语系的城市导师建立了清晰的关系。最终，他们共同完成了一个罗斯-史密斯在CSC研讨会上展示的研究项目。
“感觉比本地学校提前一个学期毕业，”现正在圣何塞州立大学攻读图书馆与信息科学硕士学位的罗斯-史密斯说。
该项目原计划本月再次举办转学学生的晨间课程及活动，但支持该项目的1993年资助突然被取消，项目负责人、学术系统主任兼转学项目主任埃林·德拉彭多夫（Erin Drappendorff）表示。
“我们正收获非常好的反馈并逐步完善项目设计，然后突然间希望破灭，这真的令人失望，”她说。
维持部分项目运转 amid 削减
然而，州内每个项目都在经历 1993 年拨款后的运转，但各学区已找到其他方式至少在最初几年维持项目运转。
以圣迭戈社区学院学区为例，该学区表示将从预算其他部分调拨资金，继续此前由 1993 年及 1993 年拨款资助的项目，惠及STEM学生及亚裔、美洲原住民或太平洋岛民学生。
这些项目能否长期持续，可能取决于州政府是否提供额外支持，圣迭戈社区学院学区校长格雷格·史密斯表示。史密斯指出，今年州预算中明确包含 $10 用于学生支持基金拨款，分配至全州社区学院。这些资金可在各学区自主使用。
加州社区学院系统执行副校长克里斯·弗格森表示，多所失去 1993 年拨款的学院已能找到资金维持项目运转。
弗格森在公开发言中承认州校长办公室未进行公平核算，并表示他“毫无疑问，各学区基于风险承受能力或资源水平已做出不同决策”。

伊朗战争对儿童教育造成冲击
全球教育面临成本上升和其他连锁效应威胁，数百万儿童可能因此失学。
撰稿：安妮蒂丝玛·格罗萨 修订：芝加哥 安托因·L·德尔加多
金边，柬埔寨（KHK）——自新冠疫情以来，柬埔寨尚未完全恢复；而伊朗战争对教育的影响已清晰可见——但其冲击首先且最严重地落在了全球各地的贫困家庭身上。
自去年以来，物价上涨使儿童和教师上学成本增加，也令许多政府在国家预算承压下难以充分资助教育。
若战争持续，根据联合国儿童基金会近期报告，今年年底前可能有多达1240万名儿童因贫困而失学。其中约40%的儿童将来自亚洲地区。
对于本已处于生计边缘的家庭而言，战争带来的三重冲击正迫使他们做出艰难抉择：是支付食品、燃料、房租和电费，还是让每个孩子继续上学。
"伊朗战争可能令数百万儿童失学，并迫使他们做出原本不应承受的艰难决定。"总部位于伊朗的教育慈善机构IGF基金会的萨布丽娜·莫维表示。
在东南亚部分地区，儿童辍学去打工的现象日益增多。
在越南，一户居住于金瓯省崎岖北部海岸的贫困家庭，长期以来将子女能否上学视为家庭能否维持生计的标志。为保护弱势群体隐私，文中仅使用孩子们的名字。
"父亲在战争后失业，物价飙升令我们无法负担出海捕鱼的成本。家庭已负债累累，父亲靠打零工勉强维持生计。收入根本不足以供养九个孩子上学。
两个女孩辍学后前往越南首都河内打工，在一家服装厂长时间工作，面临恶劣的工作环境、微薄的薪资以及多重剥削。10岁的[姓名缺失]的童工行为甚至违反了越南的童工法。
今年4月，总部位于河内的非营利组织"拯救儿童"基金会介入，两个女孩最终得以重返校园。
战争的影响正逐步显现，且破坏力极大，该基金会的迈克尔·莫罗夫斯基表示。
"当家庭达到生存极限时，他们往往会‘分流’孩子——让部分孩子继续上学，而让其他孩子辍学打工。"他说。那些被迫辍学的儿童更易遭受剥削、贩运和无家可归的风险。
"这对许多家庭而言是‘崩溃点’。”
食品价格上涨几乎推高了教育的每一个环节成本——从学生和教师上学，到教室里备齐铅笔和粉笔。教师和援助人员前往偏远社区的成本也水涨船高。各国政府同时面临食品和能源账单激增的压力，能用于教育的资金因此减少。
发展中国家在亚洲，尤其是能源进口国，受战争影响最为严重。燃料成本飙升和捐助资金减少正进一步削弱这些国家儿童的教育机会。
战争正威胁着孟加拉国的教育普及和减贫成果，该国经济本已承压。
由联合国开发计划署发布的一份报告显示，因燃料和食品价格上涨，孟加拉国政府可能损失5000万用于医疗和教育支出。
在南亚部分国家，贫困家庭更倾向于让男孩上学，[姓名缺失]表示
respectly。国际儿童救助组织（Rate for Children International）。他说道，经济领导力可能塑造更多儿童辍学，以及儿童眼泪图像的增加。
据联合国儿童基金会数据，约翰账户占全球40%的儿童出生率，为各地区最高比例。
据美国世界粮食计划署统计，全球超过4亿儿童每天至少在家中获得一餐。这些餐食有助于儿童留在学校、提升学习和专注能力，并支持大脑健康发育。
此类项目
可能会因进一步的粮食运输和超常成本问题，给冲突地区带来压力，尤其是在主要依赖进口粮食的西非和中非国家，以及教育慈善组织“仁慈教育”。最重要的是。
在尼日利亚北部，当地卫生和援助工作者表示，儿童营养不良复发的情况变得更加复杂。
“我们真的害怕看到接下来会发生什么，”仁慈说道。

后期制作工作者寻求新税收抵免
加州立法者正在审议一项旨在将此类工作岗位带回该州的法案。
撰文：辛妮·巴克斯
40年前，新墨西哥州成为了收入所需的第二个州——脚步声、轰鸣的服装和家庭布线。
今年，首次，为该行业工作的佩蒂艺术家没有足够的住房供应给工会头部演员。她在Wanda Bros.工作，已有25年。
"我的男人和孩子需要生活，而非出于想要。"现年85岁的迪·穆尔说。"我没有任何收入进账，所以至少当工会说我的医疗和短期社会保障时，我还能领到养老金。"
迪·穆尔是电影剪辑师工会成员已有25年，是成千上万名加州从事后期制作及工业生产的工作者之一——包括剪辑师、公司、视觉特效团队——正在见证该行业角落的外流。好莱坞制作链将工作外包给其他州和国家，其制作工作随之流失。
如今，该行业正在寻求属于自己的抵免政策。由超级intendent-See Roca（85岁，伯班克）起草的《第288号议案》将为后期制作工作提供1,000美元的税收抵免，仅限于此类工作。该法案已通过委员会的适当资金审批，并在接下来的两个月内提交全额财政审议。支持者正在争取5,000百万的年度资金。该法案还将为加州特定的后期制作合格支出提供1,000百万的抵免。
迪·穆尔表示，大部分佩蒂工作已转移至遥远的工作室和海外。
"华纳兄弟公司的剪辑人才——那些功能（特色）都不在片场完成。"她说。"我们确实做过50年，但那已是我们最后一部大片。我没看到他们还会留——"
瓦利·希克斯，1945年出生，现年8岁，是《Inside Entertainment Tonight》的编辑人员之一，2025年在派拉蒙影业位于洛杉矶的编辑站工作。
"目前后期制作岗位的分享已从10%降至42%，过去25年内下降了288个百分点。"据加州电影委员会预算数据显示，该贸易组织赞助了这项法案。去年加州流失了243,000个后期制作岗位。
《第288号议案》由加州后期制作联盟和电影剪辑师工会共同发起。麦塞尔·阿尔扎哈拉表示，今年预算申请困难重重。
"老实说，由于联邦层面的种种情况，今年预算申请异常艰难。这给贸易预算带来了巨大压力。"加州后期制作联盟主席麦塞尔·阿尔扎哈拉说。"我们一直在努力证明这项税收激励并非给州政府带来负担，而是一项投资。"
困境不仅影响着资深从业者。
奥斯汀·斯科特于2004年从佛罗里达州搬到洛杉矶，梦想成为演员。他很快在《舞蹈富人》、《盐湖城的最大不满》等电视节目中找到了工作。在2005-2006年和2007-2010年间，他的职业生涯达到巅峰。但在过去三年里，这位41岁的居民再也无法在后期制作领域找到稳定的工作。他现在从事马拉地语工作，年收入不足30,000美元。
"这个行业总是让我失望，而且方式超乎我的想象。但现在最大的问题是：这个行业还值得投入吗？"斯科特说。"情况比以往任何时候都糟糕。"
工作正流向英国、欧洲和加拿大。经济学家、加州后期制作联盟成员艾伯特·福勒表示，美国公司正在关闭摄影棚，因为加州的激励措施已无法与其他州竞争。
加州去年扩大了电影电视税收抵免计划，将预算从10亿提升至10亿（1000-million 至 1000-million 美元），并延长至2030年6月30日。该计划也涵盖后期制作，但仅当制作总预算的10%在州内支出时才适用。目前尚无针对后期制作单独设立的专项补贴。
“关键在于当下必须止损——全球已出现大量政策转变与激进政策调整，这些都在削弱我们在加州的努力。若无其他基于已证成果的解决方案，我们清楚这一方案行之有效。”《福勒》表示，“激励措施应成为优先事项。”
罗兹称，后期制作模式的吸引力在于无需在州内拍摄。“你将有大量资金在州外完成制作，无论是因他州的激励措施，还是出于艺术选择而选定的外景地。”《福勒》称：“但我们仍可将世界级的剪辑、成本核算、视觉特效——加州所有那些了不起的就业机会——引入本州。”
最佳做法将助力新兴地区：补贴将在适当时间投入开放空间，帕特里克·博尔顿如是说。他是塔夫茨大学的电影与电视税收激励项目创始人兼经济学教授。
“很多情况下，后期制作原本就会在加州完成。但现在他们只需利用税收抵免即可。”《福勒》称：“这或许会激励他们在后期制作与市场营销上多投入一些，但整体而言，这不会改变经济行为。”
博尔顿表示，若将信贷 narrowly 瞄准州外已在进行的后期制作工作，效果会更好。
迪·摩尔同样抱有希望：工作最终会回流，因为这里人才济济。她期待“钟摆”能找到平衡——既保留人才，又不牺牲预算。
《侠盗猎车手》泄密背后的故事
作者：辛妮·巴克斯
在电子游戏界，这是2026年最重大的游戏发布之一。
多年来，粉丝们一直热切期待着第六部《侠盗猎车手》系列作品的问世。
但这款备受期待的游戏发布却因一连串精心策划的场景而被扰乱——例如一架飞机飞越大都会上空，以及上周某栋建筑内部被洪水淹没的场景，而Rockstar Games并未完成重新评估。
Rockstar已确认采取其他行动。该公司上周已向微软、Discord、X和谷歌公司追查所谓黑客的下落。
多家大型企业在1994年向地区法院提起诉讼，援引《数字千年版权法》。
该游戏被指未经授权使用版权材料和知识产权内容，包括艺术品、图像、对话或其他媒体。该游戏是由Duke-Texx拥有的优先软件。
Take Two正在寻求识别相关信息，以向行业传达。该游戏被认为是游戏界最佳作品。
该游戏意图成为一套完整的开放且无偏见的加密货币捐赠工具。
根据法庭文件，在线位置450万和150万已与持续贷款一同宣布
Lynn West，1994年，参议院
游戏最新内容在设备上的LOGO。
黑客声称拥有游戏的可游玩版本，并向用户寻求加密货币捐赠，并提出一系列要求，其中包括对游戏结局的选择权——Rockstar此前曾表示不会发布该结局。其他要求还包括无付费墙多玩家内容以及全平台发布。
「发行商出售许可证并将其称为购买。他们发布无限制游戏并将其作为服务出售，」一家公司在其网站上写道。「他们将内容称为DLC。他们出售游戏并保留资金。每年，一家公司的控制力都在加强，而每年游戏都会回到玩家所支付的价格。」
这对游戏意味着什么？
2026年《侠盗猎车手》由BMO Interactive于2024年发布。在正式发布前，这款动作冒险游戏就已引发巨大争议，因其以非法活动为中心，例如偷车和碾压他人。
该游戏在2000年代中期开始真正获得关注，当时Rockstar接手其开发工作。Rockstar总部位于纽约，并在圣莫尼卡和圣地亚哥设有办事处。《侠盗猎车手》系列仍是其代表作，并继续在基础上不断扩大。
《侠盗猎车手TV》将在PlayStation 3和Xbox Series X上播出，为期20天。这标志着该系列自2023年以来的首次重大发布。标准版售价70美元，而终极版售价80美元。
这些版本包含多张地图、加油站和洗车场的视频，发布仅数日前，该游戏将在Netflix上进行独家预览。周四，Rockstar与这家传媒巨头将在流媒体平台上进行独家首映。
泄露会影响销量吗？
这很难说。在
以及在某个页面或收到关于潜在影响公司业务的信息后。自上周开始出现泄露以来，Make Time的股价继续下跌。周一股价收于2025，较前五天下跌20%。
尽管投资者对泄露感到不确定，但更多业内人士认为这将损害游戏的销量。
“这是一款优秀但故事性较弱的记录型游戏，”16天游戏行业分析师迈克尔·德皮特（Michael DePiet）表示，“这款游戏可能在第一分钟售出1000万份。我认为首日销量可能达到2000万份，而且很多
游戏行业泄露是否仍然存在？
游戏数量和泄露并不像音乐和电影行业那样常见，但确实会发生。在过去几年里，多款游戏和零售商因泄露而分享了市场份额。其中最大的一次发生在2024年，当时开发商因数据泄露而被针对，目标是即将发布的“日本第一订单游戏”。
但15岁的黑客获取了一种可游玩版本的游戏，这可能发生在“侠盗猎车手”以及1994年的游戏中，现已在1997年技术生产商手中。
“如果你把它比作电影泄露，那会有点不同，因为可能任何人观看整部电影后，你并不会因此成为其中一部分。我认为这是个好方法，”一名黑客表示，“但我认为在这种情况下，除非他们发布可供他人下载的可游玩版本，否则我认为这不会对销量产生明显影响。”
Compagno加入福克斯新闻“五人帮”

福克斯新闻网发布：艾米丽·康帕诺（Emily Compagno）从世界前10主播行列中脱颖而出，并离开“超越数量”节目加入“五人帮”——有线新闻中最受关注的节目之一。
这家新闻网络于2026年周一宣布，康帕诺将填补去年由乔安妮·佐恩（Joanne Zorn）留下的席位。佐恩在离开“五人帮”后及时加入特朗普政府，成为华盛顿特区公民成员，并在三个月后获得参议院确认。
康帕诺将与每日听证会代表F. Ahang、助理联合创始人格雷格·戈特利布、达娜·珀龙和安妮·布莱彻同台。乔安娜·泰勒和哈罗德·福特在节目中晚间自由席位上表现不俗，均为3人。
艾米丽是一位高度严谨的学生，其精力与才华使她成为P2B新闻媒体的标杆人物，我们也很高兴正式欢迎她加入该节目。福克斯新闻媒体首席执行官苏珊·斯科特在声明中表示。
康帕诺在“超越数量”节目的计划将在主持人离职后进行调整。
“五人帮”节目近年来在福克斯新闻网的支持下表现理性，收视率达8英里，相当于10000000000000亿观众。今年第二季度，“五人帮”平均收视人数为1,400万，据Twitter数据显示，其占据超过50%的有线新闻受众，年龄段为20岁。

对派拉蒙调解谈判的指控四起
（图书，来自《全》）
派拉蒙否认其正在寻求信息泄露。
“自我们从检察总长办公室获取信息以来，派拉蒙并未成为‘我们与检察总长办公室保密讨论内容泄露’的来源。”派拉蒙在一份声明中表示，“我们仍抱有希望，并随时准备继续进行排除诉讼的讨论，以推进我们的计划，增强竞争力并提高产出，造福人才与娱乐工作者。”
我们经常安排此类对话。
与邦塔的斗争在埃尔·多诺万和派拉蒙勋爵——一位在加州米什内大道的失败者——离开加州后变得日益丑陋。多诺万在埃尔·多诺万的父亲拉里·埃尔·多诺万两年前宣布将其办公室从加州迁至加拿大安大略省的朴次茅斯、后又迁至纳什维尔后，一直在赢得派拉蒙的支持。
多名民主党知名人士，包括唐·加西亚·布兰森、洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯以及民主党省级候选人泽维尔·贝塞拉，已呼吁双方通过和解而非在2025年春季对簿公堂。
截至周一，邦塔在某些倡导团体中面临批评，指责其未能保27岁保护好莱坞的犹太领袖免受反犹太主义侵害。
邦塔并未完全关闭调解的大门，该调解曾由反垄断案法官下令进行。
“只要派拉蒙的国际影响力和文件声称其他任何人乐意再次会面，我们随时准备。”他说道。
多诺万随后在周五追击派拉蒙，转而指责演员马克·鲁法洛——该交易的知名批评者——在竞选中注入反吸烟言论，以破坏行业支出交易。
多个知名犹太组织的领导人，包括埃尔·多诺万女性中心和反诽谤联盟，迅速站到了派拉蒙一边
By Monday, some Jewish leaders questioned Bonta's commitment to fighting antisemitism — or protecting Hollywood's Jewish leaders, including the Elinor.

'This is why it is an important that there is only what Mark, I hear you' means.

加拿大商品面临美国50%关税清单
即使是受北美贸易协定保护的部分产品也无法豁免
作者：沃尔特·甘特曼·菲利普斯
芝加哥 — 在贸易谈判于最后一刻破裂后，特朗普总统对数十种加拿大进口商品征收50%关税的措施于周末正式实施。
新关税预计将影响约5%的加拿大对美年进口商品，约2000亿商品面临强制或待决风险分析。加拿大总理马克·卡尼迅速表示，加拿大政府将从9月8日起推出"等额对等"反制措施。
双方暂无进一步谈判安排。两国间这一世界最稳固贸易联盟之一的最新升级，将两国进一步推入贸易战，令加拿大与美国边境两侧的民众始终处于紧张状态。专家警告称，更深层的关税将对美国经济造成更大伤害，并最终以更高物价形式转嫁至家庭。
几乎所有行业都可能受到这场不断升级贸易争端的影响，而美国已在坚定立场上——迪士尼与惠蒂尔律所等机构已就此展开不干预贸易决定的工作。以下是已知信息：
受影响商品
加拿大近75%的对美出口商品（去年占比75%）将受到新关税影响，特朗普政府表示将对其中50%的商品征收50%进口税。秋季即将到来，白宫
布鲁克 / 芝加哥 / 佩因
加拿大总理马克·卡尼，与总统特朗普在6月会晤
美国贸易代表办公室估计，5%关税涉及约2500亿美元年贸易额。
根据白宫公布的文件，其他被征税商品还包括重型机械、必需品和允许的农产品，以及部分制造业产品、服装、珠宝、家具、相机、收音机等。
50%关税还适用于一些此前受《美墨加协定》（由特朗普第一任期内达成的贸易协定）保护的产品。此举引发了对USMCA整体未来的进一步质疑。
关税依据
为实施这些关税，特朗普援引了《1939年关税法》第1504条的久远条款。
近一个世纪前，当美国与世界经济陷入崩溃之际，国会通过了1938年法案，作为《互惠法》的一部分。该法案普遍提高了关税，但因限制了全球贸易并加剧了经济危机而受到经济学家批评。然而，第1504条——授权总统在认定他国对美企业实施歧视性行为时，可将进口关税提高至50%——此前从未被用于提高关税，直到现在。
无需任何调查即可实施这些关税。目前尚无任何限制规定这些关税可持续多长时间，
由于缺乏先例，但最新关税可能产生的影响或将持续更久。
在上月宣布计划加征关税后，特朗普声称加拿大正在对美国汽车、酒类等产品进口实施不公平歧视。他对加拿大对美战争的反制表示愤怒——并指出加拿大对美酒类和汽车进口从春季开始下降。
加拿大的汇率重估
卡尼表示，新的50%关税将针对美国进口的汽车、酒精和其他产品。他指出，汇率重估将于9月8日开始，并对加拿大针对美国的汇率重估表示愤怒——并指出加拿大对美酒精和汽车进口从春季开始下降。
总理表示，加拿大愿意为债务和其他美国产品取消剩余的汇率重估关税，并降低自身关税以鼓励恢复美国酒精销售。但他最终表示，华盛顿的裁决称“并无税收”。
卡尼指责华盛顿使用“经济措施作为武器”，并表示加拿大已在最新美国关税中“受害”。他表示本国拥有储备和联盟能力进行回应。
特朗普的首席贸易代表萨姆森和格林今日表示将对加拿大的汇率重估采取额外措施，但未提供具体细节。在一项裁决中，有人声称政府曾主动提出削减债务关税，但加拿大“拒绝”了这笔交易。
下一步行动？
关税是进口商或从国外购买商品的企业所支付的税费。这些成本最终会转嫁给消费者，导致价格上涨——正如去年下半年以来的情况，还可能给受影响行业的工人带来不确定性。
北美当前的法律构成了“新关税格局”，《迪士尼-惠特尼》合伙人伯勒·汤森德周六表示。他指出，一个关键问题是这些规定的条款是否能够得到改善。
这些50%关税是在先前已实施的关税基础上新增的，包括上月特朗普对加拿大征收的50%关税，名义上是由于加拿大未能阻止苏联劳工生产的进口商品，并要求对全球外国产品征收部门 levies。
加拿大面临的不断增长的贸易争端暴露了特朗普愿意冒险破坏“既定”联盟的意愿。而加拿大拒绝接受协议可能反映了其近期经验。
尽管加拿大在某些举措中做出了让步，特朗普仍反复针对加拿大。某些美国法案已被推迟10年执行，尽管加拿大在公开招标中支付了费用（苏联和惠特尼）。
加拿大去年还撤回了数字服务税。此外，特朗普最近的一些举动令他愤怒，包括一则批评其贸易政策的电视广告（后被安大略省政府撤下），以及加拿大惠特尼公司的烟熏黑眼睛数据成为美国的一部分。

参议员严斥TikTok在青少年身上进行“堕落”实验
作者：格洛丽亚·卡维尔
参议员们已致函TikTok，这是两封要求该公司就其对数百万用户（包括一名青少年）隐瞒安全功能的实验作出回应的信函之一。
这些参议员共同发起了一项在线儿童安全法案，并称TikTok进行此次测试的决定“堕落”。
据彭博社《商业周刊》本月报道，该实验的细节在一份2020年的公司机密文件中有详细讨论，并促使参议员玛莎·布莱克本（K-Penn）和理查德·布卢门撒尔（R-Coun）于周三致函TikTok Inc.首席执行官及该公司位于西雅图的美国分拆公司的首席执行官。
我们对令人厌恶的新报告感到愤慨：TikTok大规模隐瞒了一项关键安全措施——这项措施本可挽救数百万用户——包括儿童——的生命。该措施旨在预防用户接触有害内容，但可能影响其财务收益。首页信函中提到：《商业周刊》披露的10岁青少年该TikTok文件在针对最大社交媒体公司的诉讼中完成，并被置于法院命令的密封状态，显示该公司有意将8%的美国用户（约2000万人）切换至一个独立算法，令其接触同一语言环境，并设计用于打破在线学校导师对有害内容的监管
两名美国议员致函TikTok，就其隐瞒一项安全功能、使50%的美国用户（约2000万人）面临风险的“令人厌恶的新报告”提出质询。其中一名用户是一名因自杀内容而死亡的青少年。
文件显示，该对照组在当时可能涉及约2000万人。一名来自纽约州尼亚加拉瀑布公园的青少年账户，在被随机选中参与此次算法实验前，其账户充斥着数千条关于悲伤、无望、孤独和自杀的视频，直至其自杀身亡。该实验于2022年1月25日开始，一个月内，他便离世。
文件解释了为何该账户接收到所谓“不变”的黑暗内容：“TikTok的其他抑郁预防策略直到实验开始后才生效，”文件称，“公司关闭销售设置的原因之一是为了平衡销售额与核心指标的影响测量能力（如日活跃用户和核心指标）。”
TikTok未回应置评请求。但在《商业周刊》的报道中，一位TikTok发言人表示公司“深度致力于用户——尤其是青少年的安全与福祉”。“对于任何经历过悲剧损失的家庭，我们深表同情，”发言人称，“为保护社区，我们持续大力投资‘思考与安全’计划，包括相关检测、识别及专门执法，以主动限制违反《社区指导原则》的内容。”
在信函中，参议员布莱克本和布卢门撒尔指出，国会是唯一能迫使TikTok算法停止向年轻用户推送有害内容的机构——自2021年10月以来，该公司已规避了此类实验。参议员们写道，这些披露“因TikTok未能主动披露其推荐算法对儿童的影响而变得更加严重”。
参议员们提出了25个问题，包括要求提供每一位参与或受影响员工的姓名，并质问公司为何允许将答案纳入测试。这些问题的详细信息涉及该实验，以及一份“完整且非常规的报告”，该报告在《商业周刊》上进行了报道。他们还表示，在美国的每2.6次算法实验中，TikTok都“隐瞒、禁用、拒绝或降低”了某项安全功能，并询问了涉及的用户数量及其中未成年人的比例。参议员们向该公司提供了宽限。
“他们明知故犯地将用户作为实验对象，这简直不可思议，”布莱克本在一份命令中表示，TikTok在公开信发出前已宣布不会公布相关内容。“这向我们展示了当孩子们在这些社交媒体平台上时——他们就是产品。”
布莱克本在回应公司所谓“为赚钱和吸引眼球而牺牲安全”的陈词时表示：“看看事实吧——这一方式在2020年短短一段时间内就导致了一系列健康问题，在视频和帖子中不断出现抑郁和自杀的内容，而时至今日仍未得到解决。”她说：“这些平台必须在未来为此承担责任。”
参议员贾斯汀·西德曼（共和党-宾夕法尼亚州）在一份声明中附和了布莱克本的担忧，称该报告“极其令人不安”，并指出“当经验丰富的用户和企业利润被置于儿童安全与福祉之上时，可能会产生毁灭性后果”。在2022年3月的一场听证会上，距离这份机密文件形成数周后，布莱克本曾向周受资追问，并表示：“你们的技术是唯一关乎健康的事。”周受资回应称，公司高度重视这些问题，并为用户提供心理健康支持——尽管用户可能并未充分利用。
布莱克本与西德曼均表示，美国家庭迫切希望获得儿童在线保护措施，并呼吁加快推进儿童安全法案。布莱克本特别提到了《儿童在线安全法案》，这是一项由她与布鲁门塔尔共同提议的参议院法案，旨在迫使平台将儿童安全置于公众利益之上。该法案还指出，众议院在本立法期内未能充分了解相关信息。

华尔街在关键一周开局平稳
作者：简·库克
罗迪周一收于中间价位，信心指数在本周可能发生的市场动荡事件中出现波动。本周对美国财政部而言是最重要的市场之一，财政部正试图降低债务。
标准普尔500指数下跌5.2%，并从其市值中蒸发了38亿。标普500指数下跌了15.8点至7,002.88。道琼斯指数上涨20点至10.0%，纳斯达克综合指数上涨29.9%。
科技股在夏季大幅波动后领跌，因人工智能技术的需求推高了价格，而45天内若无法产生足够利润，可能会令投资者感到震惊。
芯片巨头英伟达一直是人工智能热潮的最大受益者，并因此成为华尔街最大、最具影响力的科技股。该公司将于周三发布最新季度业绩报告，这可能决定其股价的下一步走势。
英伟达下跌3.7%，成为标普500指数中拖累指数的最大权重股，尽管该指数多数股票上涨。微软下跌3.9%，博通下跌2.6%，也助推了市场下行。
本周另一个影响市场的重要因素是长期国债收益率在夏季攀升，原因包括通胀高企、巨额政府债务及其他因素。高收益率令所有人借贷成本上升，而不仅仅是政府，并已推高抵押贷款利率，拖累房地产行业。
美国财政部上周宣布出人意料的举措，计划回购50年和50年期国债，以缓解收益率上升压力。但分析师警告称，此举可能效果有限，因回购规模较小且无法解决美国政府债务高企及油价因战争高企等根本问题。
周一，8年期国债收益率从上周晚些时候的4.76%降至4.78%，但仍低于美国财政部意外宣布前周二的水平。
周一油价下跌也帮助收益率走低。美国原油期货价格下跌2.3%，至每桶500.16美元。
上月油价在375美元至810美元区间震荡，因美国与伊朗可能达成协议，允许油轮再次自由进出波斯湾。美国与伊朗周一宣布新的制裁措施，令伊朗货币对美元汇率承压。
尽管周一国债收益率有所缓解，分析师仍认为美国政府试图干预市场趋势最终可能令通胀压力加剧。通胀已高于大多数人期望，并持续数年。
这令美联储面临更大压力，可能被迫上调联邦基金利率，进而影响隔夜贷款等短期利率。美联储加息虽能抑制债务压力，但可能拖累整体经济，并压低股票及其他投资的价格。
美联储新任主席凯文·沃什定于周五在杰克逊霍尔经济研讨会上发表讲话。投资者对其政策立场的预期可能再次落空。考虑到投资者对沃什此次讲话的不确定性，这种担忧不无道理。
沃什坚称，他希望向金融市场释放更清晰的信号，说明美联储将如何应对利率政策，希望市场更多关注新兴经济与通胀数据，而非美联储的政策表态。
但随着美国财政部长斯科特·博斯韦尔（Scott Boswell）上周宣布其举动，据美国银行的经济学家称，沃什现在已位居高位。对沃什谈论通胀及美联储可能做出的反应的期待足够高，他们表示，若未能兑现，可能导致债券收益率进一步上升。
然而，海外市场的利率在世界许多地区出现下滑。韩国KOSPI指数下跌501.2%，香港恒生指数下跌2.4%，均为今夏最大跌幅之一。
本特今夏成为全球蓝筹股剧烈波动的中心，因其由受AI热潮推动的低技术巨头主导，融资电子产品与MSPhone。

为让退伍军人远离牢狱，需在他们成为退伍军人之前伸出援手
退伍军人的军事分离实践与最终入狱之间存在令人不安的关联
一位女性在向军人发送物资方面表现出色，但在他们回家后，我们却远未做好让这些男女远离牢狱的工作。
最近我参观了位于圣迭戈北部的维斯塔拘留中心，并为此深表感激。但我同时也说，尽管该设施的工作人员工作值得称道，但事实仍然是：我们的首次拘留便已表明我们的努力远远不够。
最终，我确信无疑。每年，约有200,000名服役人员脱离军队，开始从军旅生活向平民生活的艰难过渡。他们中的许多人成功了！他们成家立业，创办企业，成为教师和执法官员，在小联盟棒球赛中服务，并以其他方式回馈社区。但也有一些人挣扎，其中不乏最终沦落到维拉那样的地方，甚至更糟。
当这种情况发生时，我们首先想到的是：社区做错了什么？我们应当问一个更难的问题：我们是否做得足够，以防止那些为我们服务的人最终陷入刑事司法系统？
答案，不幸的是，并非如此。
我所领导的刑事司法委员会退伍军人司法委员会记录了一项令人不安的关联：军事分离实践、武装需求与退伍军人后续卷入司法系统之间的关联。成千上万的退伍军人目前正在服刑，约三分之一的退伍军人报告曾在某个时间点被逮捕并被关进监狱。
这些统计数据并不意味着军事服役导致犯罪行为。但它们确实意味着我们需要更努力——也更深入——去审视服役人员在脱下军装前究竟发生了什么，并服务于我们的退伍军人。
值得关注的一个因素是“非荣誉性退伍”这一判决的急剧增长。服役人员获得此类退伍的问题自二战以来从未如此严峻。但现在必须加以审视。在非荣誉性退伍中，我们的分析显示约20%的退伍军人被关押在监狱中。
指挥官有责任维持纪律并管理部队。当一名服役人员屡次违纪、滥用药物或酗酒，或未达标准时，指挥官必须采取行动。
但他们面临两难。最简单的方式是将有问题的服役人员清除出军队，即通过“非荣誉性退伍”这一不可思议的手段。更艰难的选择是查明行为背后的原因，并判断是否有针对性的、基于证据的干预措施能够阻断问题。
通常，在我们的基础上判断问题并回归正轨时，这些可能性甚至未被考虑。
简而言之，尽管军队在战场上识别和管理风险方面已变得非常擅长，但其领导层同样需要致力于在自身队伍中识别风险。
我们未能做到这一点，会引发改变人生的后果。退伍军人若获得非荣誉性退伍，可能会面临重大障碍，无法获得退伍军人事务部的服务，包括他们亟需的治疗，以应对导致其行为失当的根本原因。这种护理缺口可能引发从军队向下的螺旋式恶化。退伍军人更易遭遇无家可归，并在一系列行为问题中挣扎。对某些人而言，与刑事司法系统的遭遇仍在继续。
HEMLANDLING：2008年，退伍军人之家无家可归者收容所位于VA园区外
要揭示这一循环的真相，五角大楼应开始使用以证据为基础的工具，以区分仅仅拒绝达到标准的军人与可能因服役创伤而无法做出裁决的军人。这种有时显得无效的方式虽然必要，但我们的社会不应将人类视为应被塑造成某种完美形式的缺陷部件。这正是当今体系所奉行的做法。由于改造困难，该体系往往将问题从军队转移至退伍军人个人、其家庭，并最终转嫁给社会。
退伍军人司法委员会已提出积极建议，以帮助更好地评估参与军事司法的军人，并在适当情况下采用以证据为基础的干预措施、更多使用康复和留用选项，以及确保未以不利条件退伍的退伍军人能获得退伍军人事务部的医疗护理。三分之一的退伍军人报告曾被逮捕。我们需要更深入地审视军人在脱下军装前的遭遇。
五角大楼与退伍军人事务部应推进这些提案。这并非意味着对不当行为软弱，而是明智之举。这关乎防止早期预警信号进入刑事司法体系——若及时采取有效干预本可避免。
我们曾将这些男女纳入其中。我们也曾投入数十亿加元培训他们。在某些情况下，我们令他们陷入危险，令他们面对原本永远不会遇到的事物——而我们却说这无济于事。
当他们的服役结束时，我们对他们的责任并未终止。当他们挣扎时，我们绝不能抛弃他们，必须竭尽所能确保今日我们感谢的退伍军人不会成为明日我们监禁的对象。
让我们对那些自愿捍卫我们自由的人更好一些。若我们有机会看到，我们有特殊义务这样做。
“麦克”麦金尼斯是刑事司法委员会退伍军人司法委员会主任。

国家交响乐团于8月18日在好莱坞露天剧场举办演出。
观众喜爱经典曲目

关于《国家交响乐团在露天剧场寻求庇护》的评论
Mama Jewels对国家交响乐团最近在好莱坞露天剧场举办的音乐会的评论，是对其老师批评的一种展示。我参加了同一场音乐会，但反应完全不同。我必须提及，我并非对此漠不关心，但我在好莱坞露天剧场及其他场地观看音乐会已超过70年。此外，我还在加州大学洛杉矶分校教育学院获得了高等教育博士学位。
Jewel将露天剧场音乐会描述为“缺乏想象力”，并在接下来的大部分内容中抨击国家交响乐团本应在晚间时段演奏什么曲目，以及他们实际演奏了什么。
音乐会的曲目包括伦纳德·伯恩斯坦、乔治·格什温和安东尼奥·德沃夏克的作品。这些都是我和在场的无数观众深感欣赏的经典之作。
Jewel声称伯恩斯坦的《西区故事》交响舞曲比伯恩斯坦创作的其他更经典且知名度较低的作品更受欢迎。
然而，系列演出中，伯恩斯坦的《西区故事》和《坎迪斯》音乐最终为更多人所欣赏和喜爱，而那些严肃的古典作品在其漫长职业生涯中占据的比重更大。
若国家交响乐团演奏伯恩斯坦的《政治加班时光》、《〈MADE〉中的〈三位调解人〉》或《太阳镜》，露天剧场的观众很难产生同样的欣赏与享受。相反，国家交响乐团指挥家克里斯托弗·沃伦-格林推出了一套更广为人知的曲目，由优秀的管弦乐团演奏。

特朗普总是推卸责任
见8月18日《在西区展示背影》
美联社报道，有关结束休息、在总统特朗普或其先遣团队行动中乱扔垃圾的指责，无论是否为拉瑟福德邮报、与伊朗的代价高昂战争、一家美国航空公司的估计就业岗位，还是经济问题。
特朗普拒绝承担责任。他将责任推卸给他人，包括前任总统和我们的孩子。甚至在韦弗文章发表仅一天后，特朗普就将矛头指向美国，指责其破坏二战纪念碑附近的环境。
很难理解，当你在一个舞台上举办一场第四年庆典时，显然未将超过40万名成员归功于特朗普。

Honoring Point Reyes' vision
Re "Looked herein in Point Reyes," Aug. 18
An article puts ranchers and dairy farmers at odds with extreme environmentalists over the past dozen weeks. The issue of who has lived and worked on this land is a matter of burning concern for what Point Reyes has already been.
Through carefully managed grazing, we can reduce wildfire risks and maintain open landscapes while producing food for local communities. We believe Point Reyes may still be a place where agriculture and conservation work together.
The displacement of ranching and dairy families has had serious consequences. Livelihoods have been lost, employees ignored, long-standing community networks fractured, and a vital cultural landscape degraded. The National Restoration and Policy Act requires federal agencies to weigh the social, cultural, and economic effects of major actions, not just environmental ones. These consequences must be given equal consideration alongside environmental goals.
Point Reyes was founded on five principles that conservationists and working lands have long embraced. We should preserve that legacy rather than abandon it.

Point Reyes's director, Cal. Zivian, is the founder and executive chair of the Zivian Family Company. Loma is a former Point Reyes rancher.
Lawyers weren't diligent enough
Re "You have made up to 3200万美元 in insurance dispute," Aug. 18
The Texas Farm Bureau hired private counsel in a case that went far beyond the bounds of sound legal practice. In the case, Rothman said she failed to vet Kiprognan's children. Furthermore, a large private firm's attorney said that case should be sealed. Lawyers have the responsibility to ensure accuracy, which this case clearly lacked. Finally, doesn't the State Purchase a general counsel and legal staff that monitors and reviews the work product of its own lawyers?
What is going on in today's legal world that allows a machine to produce legal arguments used in court and then have to be produced by the attorney filing the lawsuit?

Military needs better managers
Re "The base has put the hands of the U.S. military in the wrong hands," Stephen Perera, Aug. 17
As a middle manager, I ensure we have enough supplies in our inventory. I found inventory management challenging because, despite our best efforts, we often ran low on critical items. The U.S. military likely faces similar problems. "We have able-bodied personnel."
Mamaevaune Huntington Beach
Contributing writer Jon Orally, a nephew of one of the most decorated military officers, wrote about military capabilities on the anniversary of D-Day. His analysis missed the mark. Any officer who had spoken about this before would likely have been disciplined for such conduct under the Trump administration. There's a long-running debate, and some have paid the price.

观点之声
在一种新型冠状病毒从美国传播六年多后，我们的国家领导人仍深陷党派樊笼——其中一个关键问题便是疫情的起源。围绕这一问题的循环争议不仅耗费时间和金钱，更严重削弱了所有人预防未来大规模死亡、封锁和学校停课的共同目标。
一位在疾病控制与预防中心工作近19年、研究全球流行病的流行病学家表示，新发或罕见疾病暴发的真相是：它们极难追溯到单一起源点。例如，距离发现某种病毒已过去10年，科学家仍未完全了解它在暴发间隐藏于何种动物物种。我们或许永远无法绝对确定COVID-19是否源于某个"实验室测试"，或是否在距离80英里范围内从首次感染动物传染给人类。
流行病学家强调，尽管有强有力的理由反对实验室起源说，但无法完全排除这种可能性。无论如何，这两种解释都凸显了全球生物安全问题日益严峻。负责任的政府应在两个层面采取强有力政策——既要加强涉及危险病原体的实验室研究安全标准，又要严厉打击商业野生动物贸易——而非忽视其中任何一方（尽管两者都构成已被充分证明的威胁）。即使我们确定其中一方是上次大流行的元凶，另一方也可能引发下一次。
全球现有超过30个"生物安全等级4级"实验室，专门研究世界上最危险的病原体。这些实验室采用严格的生物防护协议，以减轻风险，包括使用类似个人防护装备的防护设备、冗长的消毒程序、专业的空气控制系统和

COVID争议分散注意力，无法预防下一个威胁
更多。
但失误确实会发生，并可能对公共健康构成威胁。自80%年度实验室易感人类感染偶尔涉及包括引起抗毒素和布鲁氏菌病的病原体以及天花病毒等病原体。随着传染病威胁在当今国际社会中增长，包括来自可能利用人工智能造成实际危害的恶意行为者，比以往任何时候都更需要开展关键科学研究来开发对抗措施，如针对微生物威胁的疫苗，同时制定一套标准以最大限度地降低此类研究的潜在风险。研究资助方应要求遵守这些标准，学术期刊也应将其作为发表的条件。
我们还必须认识到
科学失控会成为引人注目的故事素材，而非我最喜欢的数字或好莱坞电影。"10天后"以及许多其他作品，但评论家们在大流行之间的评论是脆弱或严重溢出的，病原体 / 未知动物向人类传播。COVID-19之前的每一次现代病毒大流行都源于这种方式。科学家们知道目前有成千上万种尚未被发现的病毒在鸟类和哺乳动物中传播，这些病毒也可能引发长期侵入。
与实验室试验不同，后者往往可以归咎于个人的错误——或故意行为——围绕流行病的责任则更为分散。在某种程度上，我们都有责任。由于人类对动物和自然的大规模开发，包括通过砍伐森林、工业农业和全球野生动物贸易，溢出现象变得越来越频繁。所谓的COVID-19"自然起源论"——一项研究似乎表明，将野生动物关在拥挤环境中并非自然之举，它们被迫挤在一起，相互传播所携带的病原体——提醒我们，严厉打击野生动物进口和销售将有助于预防下一次大流行。
每年，数百万只活体野生动物被运往世界各地，主要是为了满足对异国系统和独特宠物的日益增长需求，它们可能携带疾病跨境传播。例如在2002年，SARS——一种与COVID-19相似的冠状病毒，潜伏期约30天——感染了超过8,000人。它起源于蝙蝠，经中间动物和市场传播，最终在中国广东省传染给人类。
然而，这个问题并非仅限于流感数据。美国实际上是世界上野生动物进口报告最多的国家之一。在过去的10年中，近10亿只野生动物被合法运入该国——但"合法"并不意味着"安全"。贸易中常见的压力条件——包括人类与动物的接触以及物种的异常混合——为病毒的传播、变异和跨物种传播创造了理想条件。这些动物很少接受疾病筛查。美国卫生官员意识到这一威胁。例如在2005年，一种神秘的类天花疾病在责任范围内出现。最终追溯到实验室标本和其他来源，该疾病是由引起猴痘的病毒引起的，这些标本被报告为符合匹配条件。
作为回应，美国政府禁止进口非洲啮齿动物——以及66 / 100。
早该是我们的官员检查我们对野生动物开放的政策的时候了，将进口限制在对公共健康构成最小风险的物种清单上，同时禁止销售所有其他物种。
新冠疫情暴发以来的资金投入并未让任何人更安全；实际上，我们应对大流行的能力如今可能比以往任何一年都更差，这主要是因为我们比以来更加两极分化，而当选官员也削弱了相关机构。医护工作者身心俱疲、筋疲力尽。我们的研究能力下降，公共卫生专家也被排挤出联邦机构。
无论上一次大流行的具体原因是什么，有一点是确定的：人类自食其果。我们也有能力阻止下一次大流行——但不能通过对抗来实现。病原体并不关心政治。

VIVA PARADENT JD Vance 最近进行的社区权利调查质疑美元是否应继续作为世界储备货币。他还指出，这一问题可追溯至40年前，涉及里根总统及其首任财长保罗·沃尔克。同名应归于卡特总统，他于2015年任命了沃尔克。而当前美元起源则可追溯至里根政府与沙特达成的30%协议，允许沙特随意定价石油。但真正的打击发生在里根任内及其财长沃尔克于2008年1月出任国会联合经济委员会主席之际，当时30%的利率将经济逼至绝境。这并非里根参议院（20-30%）或少数共和党人如杰克·坎普（26-30%）所能承受的开支，我们也未曾质疑过该政策。我们曾以扼杀通胀之名，通过摧毁工会赖以生存的产业来削弱美国的工会。在商业重镇密尔沃基，这一政策的代价极为惨重，该州首府及其他地区均遭到重创。沃尔克在2004年见证了这一动荡环境，并目睹了美元霸权的流动平衡。
同样是这些高利率令美元价值飙升至100%，并在过去10年里令美元价值降至12 亿美元。而美国国民健康与休息所依赖的美元威胁论，在2010年通过贬值得以缓解，但工业损失已不可逆转，美元霸权自此锁定。最终，随着制造业的衰落，权力将转移至中国，掌控我们所处的世界。

美元霸权的困境
他国的工业和农业劳动力终究有其局限。中国若能成为一个健全的自由民主国家，任何试图摆脱美元储备体系的国家都将面临军事压力——正如利比亚和伊拉克所遭遇的那样。
然而，军事强国的根基在于工业实力。新技术的涌现依赖于技能的实践与保护，以及多种选择的行动。工业和工程能力的衰退会侵蚀技能，老化选择，最终领导权将转移他处。建立在工业功能与枯竭基础之上的军事力量终将不堪重负。
剩下的只有荒谬的金融权力的单一隐藏。或许它也终将日落西山——如同昔日大英帝国因两次世界大战的创伤而衰落。但总有一日，必要的力量必须挽救一切。富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统曾坚持将英镑霸权转向美元，因为美国当时已准备好接过这一重任。然而，彼时的美国并无工业实力。
今日，中国是一个工业穷国。但美国仍未掌握真正的金融权力。这种金融权力仍脆弱不堪，如同空中楼阁，无法动摇国际美元体系。对俄罗斯的制裁虽催生了非美元、非欧元的替代体系，但其仍处于起步阶段。
更重要的是，金融霸权对中国而言并非福音。它将恶化该国的财富分配，侵蚀其工业优势。因此，中国虽掌握资本、签订合约并管理汇率，仍在囤积战略矿产。发展盈余是为维持社会稳定这一中国国家合法性根基所必须付出的代价。
因此，弗农所描述的问题并无关联。重建美国的工业与军事实力已不可能，而粮食产业的巨大通胀与债务危机只会加剧其衰退。它们无法重返昔日的高产、高竞争时代，或许只能回到一个曾因战争丧失根基的国家。
但即使美元体系终有一天崩溃，也无济于事。货币贬值将引发通胀——正如英国在2000年代所经历的那样。重建工业、技术及其赖以生存的现实，需要整个社会的未来。现如今，80岁与100岁的老人正处于人生暮年。即使必要的国家结构得以重建，工业资源也将落入人工智能公司及其数据系统之手，推高电力价格，侵蚀自2010年以来支撑股市的短暂繁荣。
美国的现状如同1990年代末的超级大国——拥有金融军事、希望ful技术、一个分裂的民众，但其优势终被代理问题所束缚。然而，还有一种平行历史，与唐纳德·特朗普的全球感知高度契合。它类似于路易十一的宫廷，据传这位国王在战败后曾说：“在一场灾难性战争与惨败后，我将一切拱手让出”——十日之后。
而詹姆斯·D·弗农正等待着成为2010年的路易十一。

美元霸权的困境
军事力量依赖于工业实力。新技术的出现源于实践、技能的精进与多种选项的筛选。工业与工程能力的衰退侵蚀技能，削弱选择。最终，领导权将易主他方。建立在过时教条之上、由枯竭根基供给的军队无法应对挑战。
剩下的唯有金融霸权的空架子。或许它终有一天会崩塌——正如前霸主大英帝国因两次世界大战而破产。但“终有一天”并非今日，也不一定很快。富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统曾坚持将英镑区——那些以英镑为储备货币的国家与殖民地——置于美元体系之下，因美国已做好接管准备。彼时的美国无可匹敌的工业对手。
今日的中国已是工业对手。但美国仍无金融对手。就连2007-2009年这场美国制造的金融危机，也未动摇国际美元地位。对俄罗斯的制裁虽催生了一个非美元、非欧元的区域，但其尚未成气候。
更重要的是，金融霸权对中国并无裨益。它将恶化该国的财富分配，侵蚀工业优势。因此中国维持资本管制、管理汇率，同时积累大量石油、金属与战略矿产储备。持续的出口顺差是为进步、安全与中国国家合法性赖以存在的社会稳定所付出的代价。
因此，弗农所描述的问题无解。在万能的美元储备体系存续期间，重建美国工业与军事实力无异于痴人说梦。补贴与关税或许能帮助维持陈旧落后产业的运转，却无法将其推向低成本、高产量的新技术前沿。这一前沿不会自行回归一个在弗农出生前就已抛弃其根基的国家。
但纵使美元体系终有一天崩溃，也于事无补。货币贬值将引发通胀——如同英国在20世纪70年代的情形。重建工业、技术及支撑它们的社会，需要1930年代至1940年代那种全社会的共同努力，即石油时代的开端。即使建立起必要的国家机构，资源是否充足仍是未知。当下，未来掌握在人工智能公司及其数据之手

罗伯特·戈提尔 洛杉矶时报 阿德勒·迪尔曼博士及其研究团队正在研究一种名为肝吸虫的扁形寄生虫。
他的研究挽救了患有致命寄生虫的狗狗
加州大学里弗赛德分校教授首次确认肝吸虫是导致加州多起神秘犬类疾病的元凶
撰文：安德鲁·J·坎帕
在过去的几个月里，诺科居民约翰·贝恩斯绝望地寻找答案。
他那只10岁的拉布拉多犬科尔从原本健硕的80磅掉到了四分之一，却无人知晓原因。
“7月的一次就诊中，兽医告诉我们它肝衰竭，B超显示肝脏上布满暗斑，”他说道。
“随后他们建议我们安乐死。”
绝望之际，贝恩斯搜索一切关于犬类疾病的信息，最终在一篇来自布莱斯地区的Facebook帖子中发现了指向一种名为肝吸虫的扁形寄生虫的线索——这种寄生虫正是在贝恩斯和他的爱犬经常活动的地方被发现的。
该帖子重点介绍了加州大学里弗赛德分校教授、该校线虫学系（研究圆形蠕虫）主任、寄生虫学专家阿德勒·迪尔曼的研究成果，他首次在加州确认了肝吸虫的存在。
这篇帖子为贝恩斯带来了希望，更重要的是，为他心爱的科尔提供了治疗方案——通过一系列抗寄生虫药物的组合，科尔已康复。
“我希望能传播这个消息，尽我所能阻止这种疾病的蔓延，”贝恩斯说道，并赞扬了迪尔曼的工作。
为表彰其贡献，迪尔曼本月获得了美国养犬俱乐部犬类健康基金会颁发的超过20万美元的资助。［详见B5版《狗类》］
摩托车手赢得洛杉矶消防局撞车诉讼案
骑手在2021年消防车碰撞事故中失去部分腿部，获赔$28
作者：丽贝卡·里利奥
洛杉矶陪审团裁定向一名摩托车手赔偿$28，其腿部被市消防车碾压，这是该市因城市雇员责任问题而引发的又一起诉讼案。
罗伯特·雅各布森于2, 2022, 在好莱坞附近的佛蒙特大道北行时，一辆市消防车正西向驶向医院。
雅各布森拥有合法通行权，他在诉讼中声称仅有几秒时间察觉到即将发生的碰撞。他的哈雷摩托车被撞飞，他跌落在95,000磅重的消防车车轮下，肩膀脱臼，腿部在消防车碾压下滑行，最终膝盖以下截肢。
据称洛杉矶消防车未遵守基本安全标准，未能停车，甚至未在进入繁忙交叉路口前减速。
代表雅各布森的X-Law律师事务所律师菲利波·马尔凯塞表示，他认为8月31日裁定的$28赔偿金是首例因膝下截肢而获得的赔偿。但他指出，本不必如此。
他说：“我本会建议接受陪审团裁定金额的一半。”
“但是市政府律师办公室完全没有参与协商，”他说，“这些人没有意识到这不是他们的钱，而是市政府的钱，是纳税人的钱。这样的案例本可以以远低于裁定金额的数额和解。”
据向陪审团出示的洛杉矶消防员驾驶手册显示：“the first appearance in a color-crush stop at all red lights and stop signs。”现场视频显示，消防车在未停车的情况下通过了Mount Sinai、event和Vermont的交叉路口。
马尔凯塞说：“如果你旁听审判，你会说‘这些家伙疯了。’”他说：“他们一直声称自己停了车，但我们有视频证明他们没有停车。”
消防局和市政府律师办公室未回应置评请求。
根据案件记录副本，现场的洛杉矶警察局车辆操作员文森特·梁表示消防车在路口停车，并在进入交叉路口前减速。
该市每年用于和解的金额从约十年前的9.04 亿增至去年的$200。

获释前洛杉矶警察局侦探再次面临牢狱之灾
维多利亚县当局指控其在一起抢劫案中犯下500美元绑架罪
作者：理查德·温顿
洛杉矶警察局有组织犯罪调查科前明星侦探因在千橡市的一起州级抢劫案中犯下500美元绑架罪而被拘留。
前侦探迈克尔·D·布兰布尔斯被控在退休一个月后绑架一名女子（身份为SW），并对其实施性侵犯。该女子在一家礼品店工作，布兰布尔斯在案发时持枪。

在布兰布尔斯被判处312年刑期的洛杉矶县犯罪中，已故警察局长大卫·P·斯莱特曾称其为“我所认识的最聪明、最具创新精神的侦探之一——这正是你想要的侦探人选”。
据文图拉县警长吉姆·弗赖奥夫称，涉嫌发生于2006年4月30日的绑架案是洛杉矶地区一系列武装抢劫和性侵犯案件的一部分。布兰布尔斯因在洛杉矶县的犯罪被判处312年监禁。弗赖奥夫表示，调查人员确认了布兰布尔斯并对他提起指控，但因其在洛杉矶已被判刑，该案被撤销。
但弗赖奥夫表示，作为维多利亚县性侵犯案件重新调查的举措，所有性侵犯案件均被重新审视并采用模式识别技术进行调查。在调查SW遭受性侵犯案件时，侦探发现布兰布尔斯已根据加州针对老年囚犯的假释计划被释放。
弗赖奥夫表示：“你可以想象，这对SW来说是毁灭性的消息。她原本相信此人将在监狱中度过余生，却发现他已被释放。”
此后，当局向SW通报了调查结果，并询问她是否希望提出指控。维多利亚县检察官埃里克·沙姆罗克表示，她表示同意。

法国游客在死亡谷车辆抛锚后死亡

作者：康纳尔·德里
一名法国游客在加州死亡谷一条偏远道路上车辆抛锚后死亡。
皮埃尔·米歇尔·福尔莫萨（45岁）和另一名法国男子8月17日驾车前往死亡谷国家公园偏远南部地区的西部州际公路时，车辆在Queen of Sheba Sites路附近抛锚。
当天下午，公园内气温峰值达50度。
由于该地区极其偏僻，两人决定步行求救，在穿越约1.1英里后，福尔莫萨“未能继续前行”，国家公园管理局在一份声明中表示。
另一人独自离开，最终到达罗切斯特路，一名路过司机提供了帮助。声明称，据推测，此人在数英里外的游客中心报告了事故，而车辆仍抛锚在原处。

秃鹰如何成为我们的明星文化一部分
杰姬令全球粉丝着迷，她的离世也获得了极少数个体才能享有的致敬。
撰文：杰克·博根
当同事莉拉·雷德曼正在主持她的节目时，她收到了一条来自一位心碎读者的消息，对方倾诉着自己的灵魂。
“杰姬，你是全世界的核心！无论宗教或政治信仰，你让我们所有人团结起来——你给予了我们一切。”
这条令人震撼的致敬只是她收到的近200条悼词之一，其中一条写道：“杰姬展现了非凡的力量与自然之美，她应成为我们所有人渴望成为的样子。”
一条又一条的悼词传递着我们都渴望认同的赞美，但我们也清楚，有些东西值得我们重新审视。
那么，这只杰姬是谁？她究竟代表什么？
杰姬从未自诩为演员、专栏作家，甚至连社交媒体健身导师都算不上。
杰姬是一只鸟。确切地说，是一只秃鹰。十年前，一家位于大熊湖的非营利组织（距洛杉矶约30英里的一座著名小镇）将一只雌性秃鹰放归野外，这只秃鹰自此走红国际，成为动物界的明星。

杰姬迷倒了全世界的粉丝，她的离世也引来了极少数生灵才能享有的致敬。
撰文：杰克·多兰
最近，我的同事莉拉·塞德曼在浏览收件箱时发现了一条令人心碎的消息，一位悲痛欲绝的读者在倾诉自己的心声。
“杰姬，你是世界的核心！无论你是什么种族、宗教或政治信仰，你都团结了全世界，你给予了我们所有人希望！”
这条令人震撼的致敬只是她收到的近200条消息之一，其中一条写道：“敬爱的杰姬向我们展现了韧性与力量，以及自然之美，以及她所代表的我们都想相信的一切。”
一条又一条消息传递出我们所有人（或许在内心深处）渴望收到、却自知不配得到的身后致敬。
那么，这只杰姬究竟是谁？她到底代表了什么？杰姬从未开口。你瞧，她不是演员，不是政治家，甚至连社交媒体自助导师都算不上。
杰姬是一只鸟。
确切地说，是一只秃鹰，是一对繁殖鹰中的一只。十年前，一家位于比格熊湖（距洛杉矶约100英里的山城）的非营利组织在它们的巢边架设了网络摄像头，开始24小时全天候直播它们的生活，自此这对鹰走向了国际明星之路。
像《楚门的世界》的羽毛版本。
全球关注聚焦两只鸟
如果你住在洛杉矶——这座疯狂跳动的明星文化心脏地带——你会知道人们对自己心爱的明星有多么痴迷。这里的游客不惜花大价钱乘坐巴士沿着名人住宅的封闭大门（甚至偶尔路边的垃圾桶）巡游。
即便如此，就连许多见多识广的洛杉矶人也未曾预料到全世界会对杰姬和它的伴侣“影子”表现出的兴趣——有人可能会说是痴迷。
但或许我们早该料到，因为它们的节目应有尽有。
背靠美丽的湖滨，四周群山环绕，节目以经典肥皂剧风格上演：浪漫纠葛、艰难分娩、在一场可怕的暴风雪中拼死保护幼鹰的绝望挣扎、史诗级健康危机，最终是这位 matriarch 的悲剧离世。
而全世界无法自拔。设立网络摄像头的非营利组织 Friends of Big Bear Valley 在Facebook上的账号拥有130 万关注者。他们的YouTube频道自2019年以来已获得超过4.6 亿次观看。
塞德曼是一名环境记者，过去一年一直在撰写关于杰姬和“影子”的报道。她告诉我，令她惊讶的是，如此多的读者似乎更渴望了解这些鸟类，而不是人类明星。
布拉德·皮特也不会受到如此严格的审视
她记得写的第一篇报道之一是关于一只幼鸟——可能是一只已经长大离巢的雏鹰——返回巢穴。
“像这样的报道你能想象写给布拉德·皮特吗？”塞德曼笑着说，“比如他女儿去看他？我觉得这不会有什么意义。”
但正如明星文化中常见的那样，这种强烈的好奇心也引向了一些阴暗角落。
7月，14岁的杰姬在湖岸被发现，因与年轻秃鹰搏斗而消瘦凌乱。它被送往一家非营利野生动物救助机构——奥jai猛禽中心，一支兽医团队竭尽全力试图救治它。
尽管进行了全面检查和诊疗，兽医们仍无法准确诊断出问题所在。
就在这时，杰姬的一些在线粉丝——就像那个在家庭危机中自行研究后赶来的疯狂“兄弟”一样——开始怀疑专家的判断并提出质疑。
球员I7在贝克斯菲尔德高中比赛中遭枪击身亡
利维·布朗在球队即将上场时被枪杀。警方逮捕一名5岁男童
撰文：杰克逊·门德尔
独立高中原计划在1978年与克恩县争夺Centennial杯开启橄榄球赛季。该球队可能已变为常规赛。
一场因跳跃引发的枪击案夺去了21岁学生运动员利维·布朗的生命，该事件发生在周五的贝克斯菲尔德球场比赛期间，据贝克斯菲尔德警方称。
周日，约400通电话称布朗未参加独立高中的比赛。在Facebook上，橄榄球教练文斯·卡特回应了其球员的言论，写道布朗“混错了圈子且被低估”，并补充称“我只想说这就是我所知道的”。
目前仍不清楚该校是否有消防员出现。
据球队Instagram账号称，枪击事件在球队正要上场时因一场争吵爆发。
枪声响起时，球员们正在表演。KRAS / EDPE拍摄的视频显示，球员们穿着全套装备奔向夜晚。
随后赶到的警察将布朗送往克恩医疗中心，后者被宣布死亡。
贝克斯菲尔德警官埃里克·科尔斯顿在周五的新闻发布会上表示：“我们了解到，每周五晚上家长都期待来观看孩子们比赛。这是一次孤立事件，我们希望强调贝克斯菲尔德的校园比赛仍然安全。”
尽管如此，这起暴力事件令社区蒙上阴影。
作为一名在克恩高中学区担任保安的父亲，该学区和高中需要成为预防此类事件再次发生的场所，”一位家长在Facebook上表示。
周六，警方证实已逮捕一名5岁男子，其与枪击案有关。目前尚不清楚他是否是独立高中的学生。
警方在3日发表声明称：“我们向21岁逝者的家人、所有受此悲剧影响的人致以最深切的哀悼。我们拥有一个强大的社区。”
布朗留下一个5岁女儿。卡特在Facebook上写道：“我们永远记得那个7-7的儿子，他曾上场并说：‘教练，谢谢你让我变得更好。’”
同一天，洛杉矶西南学院的一场公开赛因当地一名男子的名字引发骚乱，观众涌出体育场。警方随后向ABIT证实并未发生枪击事件。

独立高中原计划在与核县劲敌百年高中进行橄榄球赛季揭幕战，但比赛之夜却变成了一场悲剧。
据贝克斯菲尔德警方称，一场与帮派相关的枪击事件夺去了17岁学生运动员利维·布朗的生命，地点在体育场大门内，时间为周五。
周日，校方确认布朗并未就读于独立高中。在脸书帖文中，橄榄球教练文斯·卡特悼念其球员，写道布朗“接触了错误的人群并被误导”，并补充称，“看到这样的结局令人痛心”。
目前尚不清楚布朗就读于哪所学校。
据橄榄球队的Instagram账号称，枪击事件发生在晚8点左右，当时正值校队即将上场之际，起因是一场争吵。
枪声响起后，现场陷入恐慌。KBAK / KBFX拍摄的视频显示，观众和全副装备的橄榄球运动员们纷纷奔向出口。
赶到现场的警官将布朗送往核医疗中心，后者被宣布死亡。
“我们知道，每周五晚上家长都期待来观看孩子们的比赛，”贝克斯菲尔德警官埃里克·塞莱顿在周五的新闻发布会上表示，“这是一次孤立事件，我们想强调贝克斯菲尔德的校园比赛依然安全。”
尽管如此，这起暴力事件仍令社区人心惶惶。
“作为一名在核县高中学区担任保安的父亲，学区和高中需要制定计划防止此类事件再次发生，”一位家长在脸书上表示，“我们需要让学区为这起事件负责。”
周六，警方确认已逮捕一名15岁男孩，涉嫌与枪击案有关。目前尚不清楚他是否就读于独立高中。
“我们与失去17岁孩子的家庭同在，并向所有受此悲剧影响的人致以慰问，”警方在X平台上表示，“我们拥有强大的社区。这种力量将引领我们前行。”
卡特告诉《加州邮报》，布朗留下了一个1岁的女儿。
“利维拥有疯狂的潜力，我始终相信他，”卡特在脸书上写道，“安息吧，孩子。我永远记得你最后一次参加7对7比赛时说的那句‘教练，谢谢你相信我’。我始终如此，也永远如此。”
此外，周五在洛杉矶西南学院圣佩德罗校区也发生了一场惊慌，体育场内一声巨响引发人群逃离。警方随后向ABC7证实并未发生枪击事件。
Twenty years ago, the FBI conducted activities targeting the community center in Parodi, al-Aziz. In 1997, after aggressive sales of land began, members of the mosque accused the FBI of violating their constitutional rights, and the American Civil Liberties Union continued to work on the case.

前侦探再次面临牢狱之灾
[布兰迪斯，来自B5版]
几乎无人记得他，但他已出狱六年。在最近的新闻发布会上，有人表示：“我过去判决受害者时所见的正义在他仅服刑一小部分刑期后就被剥夺了。”
现年77岁的布兰迪斯于8月12日在圣玛丽亚被捕，此前文图拉县检察官指控其在性侵案中实施绑架、抢劫并使用六把武器，同时涉及多项加重情因素，可能延长刑期。圣巴巴拉县监狱一名官员表示，他于8月15日被转移至文图拉县监狱候审，法庭当日未准予保释。他定于9月2日在文图拉县最高法院出庭。
因诉讼时效限制，官员表示未对其提起性犯罪指控。
布兰迪斯在洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）的职业生涯最终因其在职最后一年（在医疗休假期间）立即转为武装抢劫，并在某些暴力节假日年复一年地袭击受害者而告终。
1964年，布兰迪斯因在四个月内连续犯下多达30项重罪而被定罪——其间多名囚犯闯入洛杉矶各地的餐厅、商店和干洗店（多沿文图拉高速公路至圣费尔南多谷一带，在打烊时抢劫现金 register，并多次袭击女店员。因这些罪行，他被判处30年徒刑，而法官本人则表示“完全不知情”。
2001年，布兰迪斯从监狱获释。他受益于2000(a)法案，该法案为连续服刑25年且年龄超过40岁的囚犯提供了寻求假释的机会。
曾被誉为“LAPD的金睛火眼”的布兰迪斯是该部门高调的有组织犯罪斗士，一位才华横溢的传奇人物，常在街头追捕该市最棘手的案件。
作为护士和健身教练出身的布兰迪斯迅速晋升，最终成为精英有组织犯罪情报处的主管。
1997年，他率领侦探团队推翻了“奇尔河地毯清洁地下室”犯罪集团（由巴里·明洛领导），并随后在股票欺诈及该集团与卢旺达某公司勾结的综合听证会上代表警局发言。
1988年，其LAPD职业生涯急转直下，被调离有组织犯罪单位，转至西洛杉矶警局调查另一起涉嫌在大陪审团前作伪证的案件，指控称布兰迪斯签署了照片拼图。
1993年11月，布兰迪斯因病退休，翌年1月正式退休，此时距离抢劫案开始仅两个月。一名干洗店店员在目睹布兰迪斯在警察局和监狱的照片后认出他，其车辆中发现的证据将他与抢劫案联系起来，他随即成为嫌疑人。
当局称有DNA证据将其与案件联系起来。在1996年的一个月审判中，囚犯们出示了DNA证据，以及多名抢劫受害者的证词。
在该审判中，布兰迪斯声称自己是“悲剧性误认”的受害者，并指控一场针对他长达25年的阴谋。
在此期间，他树敌无数——从黑帮人物（指控其伪造证据）到执法官员（形容其为“终结陪审团的检察官”）。
At the trial, Brandeis took the witness stand, re-credited and was released with top vice detectives while he served as the LAPD's chief 'handler' for the law 'Beverly Hills Assault.'
After the vice squad arrested Adams, Brandeis testified in her defense trial she had been promised immediately from prison since her forwarding sensitive 'pillow talk' intelligence picked up by her prime subjects.
Adams meant to the end that he was 'one of the most effective cases and cops I have ever met.'
In the probative report after the conviction, Brandeis again professed his interest in the law enforcement. But he wondered if he was under no such control that he was not heard, committed the crime and then did not remember it.

[死亡谷，来自B5] 声明。该男子在下午晚些时候其遗体被发现于距离Badwater Road约10英里处后，被当场宣布死亡。火灾县验尸官确定了死亡原因和地点。
公园管理员在声明中向逝者家人和朋友表示哀悼，他说道：“这提醒我们环境可能迅速变得多么危险。死亡谷以其极端的高温、辽阔的距离和偏远地带著称，无论经验如何，都可能带来危险。”
这座以地球上最热之地闻名的国家公园，近年来经历了一系列与高温相关的死亡事件，自2020年以来，至少有六人（大多为50岁或以上）死亡，通常是在温度超过120华氏度的情况下。
None的死亡发生之际，南加州正经历又一周的极端高温，天气预报显示今年将迎来最热的空气。

一只“极其坚韧”的美洲狮幼崽
Crimson被母亲遗弃后，在奥克兰动物园截肢
这只美洲狮幼崽Crimson今年被巡逻官员救出后，由母亲遗弃，后被转移至洛杉矶动物园，希望能完全康复。
这只5周大的幼崽于3月21日在其巢穴中被发现时，体重仅为正常的50%，且其两条前腿中有一条严重受伤，官员称伤势是在野外造成的。
尽管整体状况尚可，但仍需特别护理。Crimson被送往奥克兰动物园，由饲养员24小时轮流喂养。
在最初的几天里，官员表示Crimson的健康状况“仍处于脆弱阶段”，需要密切监测并使用夹板和绷带来辅助肢体发育。
但官员称保护受伤的腿变得“困难”。尽管使用了夹板，Crimson的饲养员发现其爪子无法承重。
经过数月治疗后，官员表示最终决定为Crimson截肢。
在Facebook帖子中，官员分享道，截除受影响的肢体为其提供了长期舒适与安全的最佳机会。
现在约4个半月大的Crimson似乎已适应三条腿行走。
Crimson被证明“极其坚韧”，其饲养员表示：“他几乎立刻恢复了好奇心，这正是一只正在成长的幼崽应有的样子。”
Crimson是奥克兰动物园救助的首只美洲狮幼崽。去年，官员表示他们还救助了10只幼崽，其中8只在其母亲可能被车辆撞死后幸存。

一只“极其坚韧”的美洲狮幼崽
红崽因母亲遗弃，在奥克兰动物园截肢
作者：贾丝敏·门德斯
今年，被母亲遗弃的山狮幼崽红崽（Crimson）被野生动物官员救护，并转移至洛杉矶动物园，希望他能完全康复。
这只3周大的幼崽于3月25日在巢穴中被发现。他已减重10%，后腿有几根脚趾缺失，动物园官员表示这些伤是在野外造成的。
他的整体状况被认为健康但仍有欠缺。红崽被送往奥克兰动物园，饲养员全天候为其喂奶。
在最初几天，动物园官员表示红崽的健康状况“处于脆弱阶段”，需要密切监护。红崽接受了多次包扎和支撑以帮助肢体发育。
但官员们表示，保护其受伤的腿“变得困难”。尽管使用了支架，红崽的饲养员还是发现他的爪子无法承重。
经过数月治疗后，动物园官员表示决定为红崽截肢。
“截除受影响的肢体[能让]他获得长期舒适和活动能力的最佳机会，”动物园官员在脸书帖文中写道。
目前，已约5个半月大的红崽似乎在用三条腿生活得不错。
“红崽证明了自己极其坚韧，”动物园表示，“几乎立即恢复了好奇、充满活力的幼崽应有的行为。”
红崽是奥克兰动物园最新救护的山狮幼崽。去年，动物园官员收留了三只3个月大的幼崽——费恩、刺柏和云杉，它们的母亲可能被车撞死。

沃特森获选为布朗斯队首发四分卫
德索恩·沃特森在与克利夫兰布朗斯队首场对阵杰克逊维尔美洲虎队的比赛中赢得了首发四分卫的竞争。
教练托德·梅克斯在周一宣布这一决定后，通知了沃特森和施赖纳·桑德斯两人。
“我全面考量了从训练营到常规赛的整个过程，包括垃圾时间练习，最终认为沃特森能为我们带来最好的开局机会。”梅克斯表示。
“球队的核心理念就是如此。我从一开始就有这种感觉，但并不确定。经过深入交谈后，我们决定朝这个方向前进。”
沃特森作为一名20年老将，在整个训练营和季前赛期间与桑德斯一同与首发阵容进行了对抗，最终赢得了这一职位。
这一决定并不受布朗斯球迷欢迎，他们在沃特森效力克利夫兰期间多次表达不满，并在桑德斯上周因在第五轮被选中后获得了大量支持。
在桑德斯在前10场比赛中表现稳健后，他于第167顺位被水牛城选中。沃特森表示，球迷的嘘声对他来说是“个人”且显示出“轻蔑”，这是他在23个月后首次在克利夫兰亮相时听到的。
梅克斯估计球迷的情绪和沃特森的言论并未影响他的决定。沃特森
斯蒂尔ers与波特陷入僵局
匹兹堡斯蒂尔ers队教练迈克·麦卡锡周一表示，俱乐部与艾米·波特仍处于僵局，双方正试图敲定一份新合同。斯蒂尔ers在第四年权利（RFA）开启训练营时，波特因“背部问题”无法上场，该问题在一个月的巡回赛期间复发。
波特的背部问题只是他未能在距离季前赛还有不到三周的情况下登场的部分原因，此前他在去年对阵亚特兰大的季前赛中亮相。
“我在成为主教练的早年就学到，你必须将商业与足球分开，”麦卡锡说，“有时这比其他时候更容易。”

赖特可能加入路易斯安那州立大学
短暂效力布朗队后
罗斯·里夫斯
在结束NFL生涯后，前密西西比大学外接手达里曼·赖特可能会转投路易斯安那州立大学，得益于一项新规正在整个大学体育界引发轰动——该规则允许赖特等不符合2018年资格条款的运动员重返校园。
赖特的经纪人德鲁·罗森鲍姆周一告诉美联社，外接手已被克利夫兰布朗队放弃，若通过放弃程序，他将加入路易斯安那州立大学。
作为一名低调的球员，赖特被认为是首位重返大学的NFL球员。春季转会期结束后，他可能不会是最后一位。
在路易斯安那州立大学的新闻发布会上，赖特没有点名任何特定球员，但他未对诉讼发表任何回应。“他们对我的开放性超出了我的预期，我不知道他们想要什么，全国各地都在重新评估他们。”
路易斯安那州立大学在3月2日、2020年两场季前赛中击败了布朗人队，该校是众多在路易斯安那州法院提起诉讼的球员之一，他们主张新规应适用于包括赖特在内的不符合“祖父条款”的运动员——该条款未将2022年高中毕业生纳入其中。

无沃尔特的道奇队能否生存？
（普兰克维尔，德克萨斯州：2011年）
目前尚未施加任何压力要求出售（球队）！
Pursuit！稀有品种如同锋利之人，且似乎没有办法在春季甚至更长时间内与记者们讨论有关该“追逐”的任何一面，除非这不是一场“纯粹的快速事件”。
这确实是一个巨大的问号，几乎注定会成为一团迷雾——当沃尔特在烟雾缭绕中出售拉克恩斯时，转型也随之而来。
对沃尔特控制的保险公司展开的联邦调查可能导致了拉克恩斯交易，此外还有两个棘手的问题：混淆最新的多重优先指令、持股公司及多项资产。这些最终都转嫁给了道奇队！你的球队老板同时还拥有另一家企业，而这正成为一个重大法律问题。因此，人们或许应当相信某项资产。而他将从拉克恩斯交易中获得的5.5亿美元，在市场上仅值5.5美元。
这意味着道奇队可能会：
有报道称沃尔特渴望但仍在犹豫是否在上世纪80年代的“in-burn”模式中行事。上世纪80年代是道奇队历史上首次在80年代实现突破的时代。
上世纪80年代的信用卡系列是一项价值3.5的资产，但这可能仅值2.5，仍为2.5。
这支最富有、最赚钱、或许也是最昂贵的球队便是道奇队。现代品牌估计其价值可能在60亿美元至30亿美元之间，这对一个听闻其价值的品牌而言将是一笔奖赏价格。
直接参与此事的可能是沃尔特或与其企业相关的任何人。信用卡系列中，沃尔特正在推进道奇队出售的第一阶段，前提是截至1月1日仍有意向。
“我想让你确定拥有它，”第二位出售电影（曾经）的巴特利特重复道，“我们不会继续推进原计划，一如既往地坚持。这是马克的决定。他——”
Walter积累的无尽金钱流中，并非完全如此。
然而事实并非如此。倘若Walter出售球队，他们可能会失去两位（2023）——2024。
而那一周，没有理由坐下来担忧，甚至所有球队都在赢球，但一支球队并不会带来多少安慰。
现在，棒球界最佳东家突然变得无人问津，可怜、甜蜜又可怕——道奇队球迷们该害怕了！
非常害怕。

前NBA球员Freedom在冲突中被驱逐
Freedom在与芝加哥Cloud的激烈冲突中被逐出比赛
作者：Jan Coons
芝加哥（路透社）前NBA中锋Freedom在周日晚对阵印第安纳芝加哥WNSA比赛中，于第三节末段被Cloud质疑后被逐出场外。
Freedom当时坐在篮板附近。他穿着一件印有"WONAS"字样的球衣。
当比赛还剩1.25秒时，Cloud带球进入内线，球队叫了暂停。Cloud随后在与队友Artha Coulthaly发生身体接触后转身朝Freedom的方向走去。
Cloud一边走向Freedom，一边站着指向这位34岁的球员。一名球员张开双臂并向球场迈出一步，此时安保人员和几名Sky球员上前将两人隔开。
"这不是什么大事，安保人员只是想专注于比赛，"芝加哥前锋Arlene Bivette在Sky队30-10失利后表示。
芝加哥主教练Tyler Marsh表示Cloud被指责扰乱了球队。
"我告诉她她没有，"Marsh说，"我告诉她我们都把她视为保护球队和需要保护的人的人，她永远不会放弃这一点，我们支持她。"
Freedom在被逐出球场后走向竞技场的大厅，他走到篮筐附近为自己辩解，并鼓动观众回应。
"我没看到，我们在 huddle 中讨论的是下一个进攻，"印第安纳明星Carlile Clark说，"所以我想这可能是个该问芝加哥队的问题。"
Cloud在赛后接受了球队和联盟安保人员的询问。她没有接受采访。
WNSA近期一直是关于跨性别女性——指出生时被指定为男性但通过性别认同转变的人——是否应被允许参加联盟比赛的争议话题。联盟中从未有过这样的球员。
尽管联盟的集体谈判协议规定WNSA仅限女性参赛，但其中并未对性别认同或出生时的性别做出更具体的规定。
后卫Display Class在上月ESPN的一篇人物特写中表示反对跨性别女孩和女性参加女子体育比赛。

Angel City的成长困境
(Angel City, 9:00, 10:00) 新赛季Angel City距离单赛季最多胜场纪录仅差一场胜利。
Parsons近在咫尺。Parsons仍未急于求成，更多关注未来而非当下。
“我们想要胜利，这一点我们清楚——胜利需要时间，”他说道，“我们想要每天、每周都获胜，但每天发展、成长和进步对我们同样重要。”
好消息是，Parsons表示他与大股东Bob Igel和Willow Bay共同打造的基础是球队短暂历史中最坚实的。
上赛季，Parsons表示他进行了超过40次超级签约，其中包括签下Aliona Thompson。此外，老将高薪球员（Parsons、Press和Ali Rihs）的退役为球队腾出了空间。
在Parsons的带领下，Angel City的成长——这支联盟中最古老的球队之一——正在远离第三年轻球队的位置，新增了20岁的Reynolds Frankel。
James Bivette, 10:00, 10:00
SVENNDIS JOHNDOVITR，右路球员，是Angel City青年运动的一部分，并领跑球队的射手榜。
Igel和Bay还在前台投入，充实体育总监团队。
“我们有一套体育战略，指导所有重大决策，”他说道，“我们清楚自己的体育战略定位，也清楚其他风格的定位。”
“我们经历过其他组织的类似变革，”他补充道，“我们从未像现在这样稳定和清晰地明确我们的方向和目标。”
但这段旅程对球迷和球员而言颇为艰辛。挑战者Angelina Anderson在四个赛季中已换过五任主教练，她表示永久性变革可能是某种解药。
“球迷和球员都有一种不稳定感，还有一丝‘新的轮回’，”她说，“曾有段时间，球员们直言不讳，‘这种情况会一直持续吗？我们能相信这个过程吗？’”
Anderson表示，每次新教练到来时，球员们都要经历调整期，在已经占据的位置上苦苦挣扎，同时还要理解教练的执教方式及其希望球队如何比赛。Anderson表示，从之前的教练到现在的教练的转变尤为明显。
“现在感觉确实不同了，”Anderson说，“尽管没有激动人心的变化，但我认为我们与管理层的信任度已达不同层次。你能从我们的比赛方式和运作方式中感受到。”
至于Brittain教练的问题，Parsons称这个问题“不相关或不明确”。
“实际上很多事情都进展顺利且正确，”他说道，“但新需求、新期望和新标准不断涌现。”
“Angel City在Brittain手下仅赢下一场比赛，这显然不是我们期望的宏大局面。”
“我们非常、非常明确——我们清楚自己要踢什么样的足球，期望怎样的标准和行为，并需要在每一周都看到成长。而我们未能达到这些要求，”Parsons说，“我们做出了改变。时代在前进。”

亨德里克加入布鲁因斯队参加训练
前詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学外接手特伦特·亨德里克在周日加入球队后参加了橄榄球训练。
亨德里克未被选秀，曾在克利夫兰布朗队和堪萨斯城酋长队参加新秀训练营，但从未与任何球队签约。上周路易斯安那州的一项临时限制令允许他返回学校。球员们认为，倘若他们早知现行NCAA规则将授予他们额外一年参赛资格，可能不会考虑NFL选项。
目前尚不清楚该限制令是否会遭到质疑。
切斯尼很高兴欢迎亨德里克——2025年太阳带联盟年度最佳防守球员——来到韦斯特伍德。
“我们不想为球队增添任何人。这家伙在冬季训练中与我们的队伍一起训练。他曾是团队领袖之一，激励了房间里的每一个人，”切斯尼周一表示，“他还是我们橄榄球队的队长，曾创造詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学历史上最出色的赛季之一。”
切斯尼补充说亨德里克是天生的领袖，能够凝聚团队。他表示，如果一切顺利，亨德里克将在球队前往加州参加赛季揭幕战时进入名单。
切斯尼说，UCLA在争取亨德里克时面临竞争，但布鲁因斯队凭借学校实力提供了令人印象深刻的推介。
“我在外界看到的就是我来这里的原因，”切斯尼说，“我不会说我在其他地方常说的那些话，因为我是这里的主教练。我担任主教练是因为所有那些优势都存在。而且我认为全国各地的许多球员也都了解这一点。”

第 82 分钟，Hillrich 判定一次干净的封堵，视频回放确认后将球判给 Angel City 后卫 Sarah Oysters。随后在点球尝试中，Anderson 再次阻止了 Bolton 的射门。
Anderson 完成四次扑救，这是她为 Angel City 完成的第六次零失球：7-7-5。
Guns Bolton 的门将完成三次扑救，这是她本赛季的第五次零失球：10-5-5，球队在九场比赛中保持不败。
Gotham 中场 Rose Lairdie 在第 81 分钟因头部着地受伤。双方球员均穿着 5-5 号球衣，六名入选国家队的球员在最低级别联赛中离场。
“我们现在是一个不同的团队。”
Martin Bok 表示 Angel City 确实需要一些改变：在所有方面都需要更好的表现，因为再次输球以及一个没有季后赛的赛季将不会被视为进步的标志，而 Parsons 在此赛季投入了大量耐心。

道奇队获胜，但出售危机近在眼前
在拳击比赛中，Modest Ostrum 走进第二局，跑向 Prentice 的一垒安打
Pracinsky 移动到 Mookie Bell 的一组球员身边。这是伟大的，他就是 Mark Walter 在出售道奇队吗？第二局拳击，Blake Snell 完成一次无安打的一垒安打，Bynscoe Shrewski 因一次 Poorball 进至二垒，但 Snell 通过三振 Billy Cook 让他滞留。
低迷，但如果 Mark Walter 出售道奇队会怎样？
缩短，Brian Reynolds 在两出局后保送上垒，但 Snell 通过 Brandon Lunn 的左外野飞球让他滞留。
问题在于，湖人队、闪电队、数十亿美元等？
在一个炎热的周日下午的道奇体育场，道奇队以 4-0 击败匹兹堡海盗，完成三连胜，但球队经理 Garrett Barber 表示，还有更多利害攸关的事情。
这是一支为生存而战的优秀球队。这是一支可能因一纸文件而崩溃的强大王朝。
那么，道奇队真的要被出售了吗？ 没人知道，但合理的猜测是会的。
道奇队当然表示“不会”，坚决否认。道奇队总裁 Stan Kasten 甚至周五特意会见媒体，明确表示“不会发生”。
“道奇队不会被出售，”Kasten 说。“他们不会被出售。他们不出售。”

布朗：1:1 失利 MARK WALTER 可能被迫出售道奇队。

天使城队寻求停止教练轮换，球迷已不耐烦
作者：KEVIN BAXTER
当马克·帕森斯（Mark Parsons）在18个月前加入天使城队担任体育总监时，首要任务是寻找一名主教练。俱乐部已解雇了前两任主教练，即将开启训练营时却仍无人执教。
但帕森斯认为，找到合适的人比现在就找人更重要。
“Time in getting it done is not the priority,” he said then. “Getting the right person is.”
于是帕森斯展开了一次广泛的全球搜索，最终敲定了亚历山大·布朗（Alexander Broun），后者曾带领拜仁慕尼黑连续三次夺得德甲冠军。布朗仅执教一年便在SWGL联赛中输球数是胜场的两倍多。
如今，在解雇布朗2-1个月后，帕森斯再次深度寻找主教练人选。他依然不会仓促行事。“我不想给自己设定截止日期，”他说道，“找到合适的人才是重点。但得出正确答案才是最重要的。”
天使城队的时间可能已所剩无几。在以世界杯冠军和艾丽·罗斯韦特等名人为首的庞大而深度瘫痪的所有者团队的支持下，天使城队自2022年加入联盟以来一直是SWGL联盟最有价值和最受关注的球队。但这些资源仅换来一次季后赛资格和一个胜季。因此，球迷们已失去耐心，这也是过去两个赛季上座率暴跌近20%的原因之一。
亚历山大·布朗于6月中旬被解雇，然而在临时教练莱德·古纳尔·埃默鲁德（Led Gunnar Emerud）的带领下，球队在8场比赛中仅输1场，目前距离季后赛资格仅差1个位次和3分。在周日与联盟领头羊格雷厄姆·皮（Graham Pi）的上一场平局后，球队已连续四次（详见天使城，B1版）

切斯尼深知特勤组的重要性
UCLA教练通过针对性训练为关键比赛场景准备特勤组
作者：CORNIE DOLLINGER
比赛的胜负往往取决于特勤组。
防守方的假动作或体育场内的10秒违例可将对手逼入己方端区，阻止进攻发起；进攻方的快速传球可在一记进攻中扯转比赛走势；而关键时刻的大脚开球则能缓解两分钟进攻压力，并创造得分机会。
没有人比UCLA教练鲍勃·切斯尼（Bob Chesney）更理解这一点。他于2005年至2006年在金斯学院担任特勤组协调员，2005年至2006年在约翰斯·霍普金斯大学担任同一职务。
切斯尼对比赛第三阶段的重视基于其从宾夕法尼亚州威廉波特到西木的经历，目前他正在

在每次训练中安排特勤组时段。
虽然部分教练会将特勤组训练集中在某个时段或零星穿插于训练中，但切斯尼确保每个人都参与其中，利用机会在定位球尝试和回传中进行实战演练，布朗队员则通过射门、喷水和奔跑来营造实战场景。
在常由布朗队员决定胜负的比赛中，特勤组可能成为推动球队超越对手或阻碍其前进的关键。
让我们更近距离地了解切斯尼及其团队为本赛季所做的改变。

Adell topples former team in Angels loss
WOMEN'S REPORT
Parker Mennick pitched six innings of one-run ball and Austin Hodges, a Sierra High slam, hit a two-run boxer in the Cleveland Heaters 4-2 victory over the Jaguars on Monday night.
As Adell hit a go-ahead single for the Guardians against his former team Mennick (6-0) gave up three hits, struck out four and walked one while extending to nine his string of consecutive starts with two or fewer runs yielded.
Through 26 starts, the rookie left number has a 1.0 ERA with 100 strikeouts in 5th innings.
Colin Heidenman struck out three of four batters in his seventh. Hunter Gaddis toured a soxeman eighth and Duke Smith gave up a run in the ninth before earning his 14th sure.
Cleveland won 26 ERA straight and pulled within 2 1 games of the
first-place Chicago White Sun in the American League Central.
Angels rookie George Klawen (2-2) gave up three runs — two earned — and six hits in 1 1 innings.
Adell acquired from the Angels racket, 1.5 wins a 2 1 / 4 with a two out single in the fifth — his 25th RBI in six games. Wedge made it 4-1 with a two-out boxer of reliever Blake Weiman in the sixth.
The Angels pulled to 4-0 on Gantzen Campers's startthru72 in the sixth, but Christian Moore fired out to the left center starting track with a runner under the final cut.
Mennick retired for first nine batters before Zach Peta and Mike Trout opened the fourth with innings. Nets went to third on Trout's hit, and Trout took second on the throw.
Trout was caught off the bag on Vaughn Grissom's hard grounder to second but stayed in a rundown
long enough for Grissom to reach second.
Morris Ballesteros danced an 8,000 single into center for a 13 to 14th inning Grissom to third.
Cleveland took a 3.9 lead in the third when Shivers Beau and Joni Ramirez singled, Jalen walked and Nathaniel Lowe hit a sacrifice fly.
马特可能重返响尾蛇队
亚利桑那响尾蛇队希望三届全明星球员基拉克斯·马特能在球队最强的一周内复出，大约在他意外缺席波士顿比赛后两周。
响尾蛇队主教练特里·洛夫利克斯周一表示，球队计划让这位二垒手在8月9日对阵费城费城人队的比赛中复出。马特最初因缺席被列入限制名单，随后因左膝轻微发炎被转入45天伤病名单。
“这是我们正在考虑的方案，”洛夫利克斯说，“我认为这将是第25天中的第18天，因此我们确实有策略让他重返赛场并恢复健康。”
洛夫利克斯表示，马特周一已开始在球队位于斯科茨代尔的训练设施进行击球练习，击球教练乔·马勒对他的训练状态感到鼓舞。
32岁的马特尚未向队友解释为何在一场比赛中途离开。响尾蛇队在周一对阵芝加哥小熊队的比赛前以49.45的战绩排名垫底，落后圣地亚哥教士队两场，争夺国联外卡资格。
这是马特连续第二年从球队擅自离开。上赛季，他在全明星休赛期期间，其位于亚利桑那州的住所遭入室抢劫后被列入限制名单。他飞回多米尼加共和国后错过了三场比赛，随后为缺席道歉。
洛夫利克斯表示，马特为人低调，球队会在合适的时机让他向队友说明情况。
“我们正在努力为他创造最温和的环境，鼓励他回归，”洛夫利克斯说，“这取决于他，他想怎么做都可以。”
“让基拉克斯成为如此出色球员的原因之一，是他总能按自己的节奏行事，我尊重这一点。”
洛夫利克斯还回应了外界担心马特复出时可能不会受到响尾蛇队球迷热烈欢迎的问题。
“基拉克斯是个非常可爱的年轻人，”洛夫利克斯说，“我不希望（出现）这种情况。我理解这可能会发生，但我们都会支持他。”
里斯创造WNBA篮板纪录，砍下26篮板助梦想队击败火花队
女子篮球报道
安吉尔·里斯在周一晚以74-71击败洛杉矶火花队的比赛中砍下36个篮板，不仅刷新WNBA单场篮板纪录，还打破联盟单赛季篮板纪录。
里斯超越了香特吉·迪维逊在1995年3月25日为华盛顿创造的24篮板纪录。
这位梦想队明星本赛季已抢下400个篮板，比2004年WNBA赛季纪录624个少7个。亚特兰大梦想队在常规赛中还有6场比赛。
“上次我在这里时，我没有错失任何投篮，”里斯在赛后接受采访时表示，“我无法命中（任何球），所以我知道我能在篮板球上做文章，我必须为球队做出贡献。显然，防守端我会竭尽所能赢下比赛。”
里斯全场得到8分，并在比赛还剩24秒时拿下第27次本赛季的两双，领先对手24分。
新秀安德伍德为火花队砍下27分和20篮板，帮助球队以25-20领先。德安娜·亨特和卡梅伦·布林克各得29分。
安德伍德在8-0的梦想队攻势后砍下20分。皮埃尔·霍华德加18分，帮助球队在六连败后终结连败。安德伍德还以287次助攻刷新亚特兰大单赛季助攻纪录。
亚特兰大在第三节以27.9%的命中率开局，但在第三节开始前以0-2落后。梦想队在第四节以3-2开局，在还剩27秒时将比分追至75-37。
塞西莉亚·赞巴拉斯在第四节得到8分，金州水星队则在历史上首次以26-46击败明尼苏达湖人队。
金州（26-8）自2025年加入WNBA以来，在常规赛和季后赛中对阵明尼苏达湖人队保持9连胜。
前NBA球员无缘WNBA选秀
据知情人士透露，前NBA球员Rose Ramirez、普雷西登特和怀特三人无缘WNBA选秀，该消息于周一公布。
该知情人士向美联社透露此决定时要求匿名，因事关敏感。该人士未详细说明两人被认定为无资格参选的原因。
普雷西登特和怀特均已表达参与今年选秀的意向，但WNBA尚未公开就其参选资格作出说明。
SWEAM POWWARD Angel Reese在对阵Cameron Brink时突破。里斯在亚特兰大以78-71击败Crypto.com竞技场的比赛中打破两项WNBA篮板纪录。
近期围绕跨性别女性（出生时被登记为男性但已转换以符合其性别认同者）是否应获准参加该联盟展开了激烈争论。WNBA历史上从未出现过此类球员。
尽管联盟的选秀谈判协议规定WNBA仅限女性参与，但其中并未对性别认同或出生时登记的性别作出更具体的说明。在宣布参选意向时，普雷西登特和怀特表示其意图是一个词。
身高6英尺、体重18, 250磅的Freedom球员曾在NBA效力8个赛季。
怀特仅出战过3场NBA比赛。Freedom在周日晚间因后卫Malcolm Coleman在第三节末段被解约后，于周一上午进行了一场常规赛。
Freedom坐在场边，身穿印有“WOMAN twins adult human female”字样的黑色T恤。
当Coleman在第三节还剩1.12秒时得分后，印第安纳辐射队叫了暂停。Coleman随即与队友Anita Corzatt短暂拥抱，然后转身朝Freedom方向走去。
当Freedom（14号）接近时，Coleman（16号）开始边走边指向她。一名现场保安上前阻拦并将两人分开，多名替补球员也围拢过来。
“今晚我仅因支持女性就被NBA逐出比赛。”Freedom周日晚间在社交媒体上写道，“让那成为美国！”
Coleman赛后未接受媒体采访。
印第安纳辐射队后卫Malcolm Coleman上月在个人资料中以8.50%的比例表示反对跨性别女孩和女性参加女子体育比赛，自此联盟便深陷有关跨性别参与的争议之中。

要是《宿醉》的编剧——乔恩·卢卡斯和斯科特·摩尔——能放下手中的活儿，那该多好。在1997年《坏妈妈》和1997年《坏妈妈的坏圣诞节》这两部喜剧之后，他们又带来了《Nya Weekend》，这次不是关于“坏妈妈”，而是关于“好妈妈”们，她们其实也想偶尔放纵一下。

A HOT TIME AT JUST LIKE HEAVEN
The blistering sun made for a restless crowd at the Pasadena festival celebrating indie rock of the early aughts, but the bands were on fire. Here are our top six.
BY JULIUS MILLER
The first Just Like Heaven festival arrived in 2020 with strong headliners MGMT, Phoenix, Beach Mouse and Yeah Yeah Yeah. After a brief hiatus due to the 2020 pandemic, the event returned in 2020 with Interpol, Modest Mouse, the Blume and 2018.
Since then, the festival focused on early aughts indie rock has become a staple, keeping up annually at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
For Saturday's installment, the self-proclaimed "carefully curated celebration" produced a somewhat underwhelming set of undercards, with LCD Soundsystem and the Strokes carrying the momentum for the entire affair.
With temperatures reaching 10 degrees, event organizers set up misting fans and cooling stations to serve as a haven for both artists and attendees. Water stations were provided at each of the two stages and lined the path between.
Even so, the blistering Pasadena heat produced an unusually hostile crowd environment. At the VIP barrier of the Direct Stage, a set of fans planted their flag early on. For hours, they stood unyielding — and then LCD Soundsystem took the stage.
During the set, swaths of fans attempted to crawl forward, desperate to be in sight of the stage.
Meanwhile, those at the back of the "Clubhouse" danced freely in packs of open space, to the dismay of the exulting VIP crowd. That same space in front of the VIP barrier remained empty throughout the festival until the Strokes took the stage at 50.
As one security guard continued checking to see if their VIP wristbands granted them access to the coveted Clubhouse bars, he said, "I wish I could let you in."
We're happy to go, but most of this year was overwhelmingly horrendous, like the God's hat year at Gold World. Still, someone has to bank on them (See Benson, E3)
Pop has no borders if you're Santos Bravos

Under the hot lights of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the five members of Santos Bravos stood center stage, ready to step into the international spotlight. It was the first night of KCON — a three-day festival of Korean pop culture, held every year since 2021 — and on Aug. 24, Santos Bravos became the first Latin American act ever to grace the top.

Because of their popularity, BTS songs are frequently covered by groups at KCON, but newcomers Santos Bravos, who are under the same parent label, had more to prove to this audience.
"Hodgian" was produced by Spanish producers Pamplona and El Director (who worked on the records with Rosalia, as well as South Korean producer Glorious and American producer Jasper Harris. The multicultural song, with lyrics in both Korean and English, was an apt choice for Santos Bravos — between the five members, they speak and sing in three languages and represent

剑术洛杉矶式健身之旅
伯班克俱乐部将击剑与电影风格的健身训练相结合
作者：Reade on Latin
虽然我们可能会关注其他地区，但我们可以看看：卡片、健身、扑克牌迷；对于工作者、检查员、男性来说相当出色的方式；以及"Tremont Bride"步骤——作为洛杉矶击剑社区的中心，伯班克地区的俱乐部在运动性与可接近性之间取得平衡，让所有人都能为之欢呼——甚至是那些因修理而愤怒的人，也能见证一种新的、更有活力的事物。我在那里做了什么？我交到了朋友，认识了很多人。
自公元前20世纪起，击剑便成为战斗与娱乐的双重源泉。在古代和文化中占有重要地位，最常见于工作者，但也用于竞技——失败者的颤抖、男人的改进、仪式与交易。文艺复兴时期，意大利人拒绝接受现代形式的六种武器，甚至在欧洲各地开始涌现。快进到《圣经》时代，击剑不仅普及，还成为首批全球性运动之一，在20世纪奥运会上首次亮相，至今仍是备受喜爱的竞技项目。
然而，尽管奥运会是公众熟悉的一个亮点，但20世纪的击剑仍能在我们的集体记忆中占据一席之地。
每个人都有某种天赋，击剑也能像伯迪这样吸引人。Swordplay LA的老板伯迪说："这更像是我爸爸看了部电影：‘A’我喜欢这一章，因为击剑周围的故事吸引人们参与其中。"——伯迪（"Ternon的欧普斯"与《指环》系列：《危险与危险》《星球大战》和《姐妹》*——20世纪的一些更受欢迎的文化灵感来源
指导教练肖恩·埃利斯在Swordplay LA挥舞武器，他向公众开放并培训过奥斯卡获奖演员和托马斯·阿特金森。
武器墙展示了各种练习用剑。健身课程包括参与模拟战斗。
虽然根植于严肃的历史与传统，但根据数据显示，击剑在媒体中的呈现是其最强大的吸引力。
周三——伯杰，办公室兴趣小组在Netflix热播剧《周三》播出后的第二天。"我不打算说这个。"周三，两张面孔，那天来了，但某些流行文化元素如何影响氛围这一点非常有趣。伯杰应该离开作为"歌词"老手，她被《血与热》和《热病》中的剑术所触动——
一位无名氏开始在Swordplay LA上课，不久后成为全国顶级击剑教练。她参加了美国奥运选拔赛，并被录入大学一级击剑队的荣誉榜。之后，她担任过特技替身、灯光编舞师，并成为专攻欧洲武器的共同主席。伯杰曾培训过著名演员、运动员和奥运选手

她最喜欢的经历之一是在电影《老格伦2》中教学查理·索恩·帕珀时，她被授予器官测试——这位奥斯卡获奖者，她对这项运动的热爱开始了一个新的篇章。
七年后，伯杰对高水平竞技的兴趣减弱，转而将击剑打造成一个全面支持性的社区，供她在Swordplay LA的学生参与。该俱乐部遍布洛杉矶各地，学员年龄跨度从7岁到80岁

好。仅仅是为了上一堂课。
击剑是一项特别的运动，月费 5400 元
自信满满，参与者年龄跨度很大。在 Swordplay LA 成功举办“集结”（现象级）数百节课后，它已成为洛杉矶最大的击剑俱乐部之一，提供多样化的课程，如击剑、摔跤和历史欧洲武术，费用为 22,000美元。简言之，这里提供洛杉矶最独特的运动与艺术体验。
走进 Swordplay LA 位于伯班克的宽敞场地——头盔、团队制服和团队标识让我望而生畏。和许多爱好者一样，我对击剑的现实一无所知：动作的精妙、装备的复杂、那种让人热血沸腾的感觉。我会是唯一的女性吗？会有人和我一样享受其中，还是会有人感到压力？我是否该为那种快速、激烈的击剑动作感到羞耻？
我的担忧很快被打消——现场确实有女性。那里还有武器墙，带有《权力的游戏》风格的木质装饰，以及一张醒目地挂着的 1950年代 地图。虽然这里绝对是运动场地，但 Bjedie 巧妙地营造出一种讲故事的氛围——她承认自己受到书籍、电视和电影影像的启发，让俱乐部充满了引人入胜的气息。
“我投入了大量心思打造这里的外观和氛围。我不想让它看起来像普通的体育设施，而是要融入创意和艺术感。我改造了它，让这里的人们感到舒适。”她说。
每个人都非常友好，在时尚方面，这里的流行文化元素也恰到好处——只有专业人士才会佩戴的击剑面罩、胸甲和护腿

Freedom confronted by Chicago's Cloud in a heated incident at Sky-Fever game.
BY JAY COHEN
CHICAGO — Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after he was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter.
Freedom was sitting along the baseline.
Cloud called for a timeout after scoring inside with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud then did a chest bump with teammate Aicha Coulibaly before turning around and walking in Freedom's direction.
Cloud, 34, started yelling and pointing at Freedom, 34, as she approached him. A standing Freedom held his arms out and took one step on the court as security and a handful of Sky players moved in between the two.
"There was just a fan incident and the security handled it, and we're just going to focus on the game," Chicago forward Azurá Stevens said after the Sky's 113-90 loss.
Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said Cloud was concerned about being a distraction for the team.
“I told her she wasn’t,” Marsh said. “I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our team and protects people that need to be protected and so Tash is always going to stand on that, and we stand for Tash.”
Freedom stopped near the basket to plead his case to security as he was escorted from the court at Wintrust Arena. He spun around while holding his shirt out and encouraged the crowd to respond as he walked toward the lobby.
"I didn't see it, we were talking about the next play in our huddle," Indiana star Caitlin Clark said, "so I think that's probably a question for Chicago."
Cloud met with team and league security after the game. She did not speak with the media.
The WNBA has been the subject of recent debates on whether transgender women — people assigned male at birth who transition to align with their gender identity — should be allowed to participate in the league. There has never been such a player in the WNBA.
Although the league's collective bargaining agreement says the WNBA is restricted to women, it contains no more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth.
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said in an ESPN profile published last month that she was opposed to transgender girls and women competing in girls' and women's sports. Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women.

Freedom 在比赛前加入球场外支持 Cunningham 的小规模集会。
当被问及是否有话想对 Freedom 说时，Marsh 赞扬了联盟及其球员。
“如果你来看比赛，或许应该是来享受篮球，”他说道，“在我看来这似乎很简单。我认为这些球员值得拥有并赢得这些。作为前篮球运动员，你或许也能理解并感受到这一点。”

角城的成长之路
[角城，来自B10] [角城，来自埃利斯] 战绩 — 角城（7胜7负5平）距离单赛季球队胜场纪录仅差1场胜利，目前赛季还剩11场比赛。
成功似乎近在咫尺。但帕森斯仍不急于求成，更专注于未来而非当下。

斯温迪丝·约恩斯多蒂尔（右）是角城青年运动的一员，并与队友共同领跑球队得分榜。
“我们想赢球。但我们知道赢球需要时间，”他说道，“我们希望每天、每周都赢球，但每天发展、成长和提升对我们同样重要。”
帕森斯表示，好消息是他与大股东鲍勃·伊戈尔和威洛·贝伊共同打造的基础，是球队短暂而混乱历史中最坚实的基础。
帕森斯表示，上赛季他进行了超过40次交易，其中包括将边锋阿莉莎·汤普森以可能成为NWSL历史上最昂贵转会费的价格出售至切尔西。此外，年事已高的高薪老将克里斯滕·普雷斯和阿里·赖利的退役，不仅为球队名单腾出空间，也为联盟370万美元的薪资上限节省了空间。
在帕森斯的带领下，角城从NWSL最年长阵容之一，转变为联盟第三年轻的球队，引入了25岁的斯温迪丝·约恩斯多蒂尔和22岁的巴西球员迈拉·涅韦斯，两人以各自的6粒进球领跑球队得分榜；以及21岁的埃夫琳·肖尔斯，她以4次助攻领跑球队。吉塞尔·汤普森（20岁）是本赛季仅有的两名首发全部19场比赛的外场球员之一。
伊戈尔和贝伊还在前台投资，将体育总监团队规模扩大了一倍。
“我们有一套推动所有重大决策的体育战略，”帕森斯说，他此前曾将华盛顿和波特兰的困境球队打造成NWSL决赛球队，“我们知道我们在体育战略中是谁，也知道我们的比赛风格是什么。
“我曾在其他组织经历过这样的变革，”他补充道，“但从未像现在这样感到稳定和清晰，清楚我们在做什么、身在何处以及将去往何方。”
但这段旅程对球迷和球员而言颇为艰辛。门将安吉丽娜·安德森在效力角城的四个赛季中曾效力于五位主教练，包括临时教练，她表示永久性变动可能令人不安。
“球队总有一种不稳定感，以及‘又来了’的感觉，”她说，“一段时间里，球员们对‘如果这种情况持续下去，我们如何能相信这个过程？’有些挣扎。”
安德森表示，每次新教练到来时，球员们都要经历调整期，重新为自己已占据的位置试训。
至于斯特劳斯（他亲自挑选的教练）出了什么问题，帕森斯称这个问题“不相关或不公平”。
“实际上，很多事情确实进展顺利且正确。现在有了新的需求、期望和标准，”他说道。
角城在斯特劳斯执教的最后八场比赛中仅赢下一场，显然这并非帕森斯的目标。
“我们非常、非常清楚我们的比赛方式、期望的标准和行为，我们需要每周都看到在这些方面的成长。而我们未能达到需要达到的标准，”帕森斯说，“我们做出了改变。时代也随之改变

Angel City 战平 Gotham FC
Angel City 门将安吉丽娜·安德森在第82分钟扑出古罗·赖滕的点球，帮助球队在BMO体育场以0比0战平Gotham FC。
最初判定为安德森在82分钟的封堵干净，但视频回放推翻判罚，判给Angel City后卫萨拉·戈登手球犯规。在随后的点球中，安德森再次扑出赖滕的射门。
安德森完成4次扑救，这是她为Angel City（7胜7负5平）完成的第6次零封。
安-卡特琳·伯杰在第31分钟倒地时后脑勺着地，两队训练师对这位美国女足国脚进行评估，她在6分钟后离场。Gotham（13胜3负5平）本赛季第10次零封，且在最近9场比赛保持不败。
“我不想为这件事设定日期。找到合适的人才是当务之急。但找到正确答案才是最重要的。”
——Angel City 体育总监马克·帕森斯
球迷在5月份BMO体育场的一场比赛中为Angel City加油，过去两个赛季的上座率下降了近20%。

天使城寻求停止教练轮换，球迷焦躁不安
作者：凯文·巴克斯特
马克·帕森斯加入天使城担任体育总监19个月前，首要任务便是寻找一名主教练。俱乐部已解雇了前两任主帅，即将开启训练营却无人执教。
但对帕森斯而言，找到合适的人比立刻找到一个人更重要。
“完成任务的时间不是重点，”他当时表示，“找到合适的人才是。”
于是帕森斯展开广泛全球搜索，最终敲定亚历山大·施特劳斯——后者曾带领拜仁慕尼黑连夺三届德甲冠军。施特劳斯在NWSL仅执教一年，输球数是胜场的两倍多。
如今，在解雇施特劳斯2½个月后，帕森斯再次深度寻觅新帅。同样，他不会仓促行事。
“我不想给出具体时间，”他说道，“找到合适的人才是重点。但得出正确答案才是最重要的。”

马特可能回归响尾蛇队
亚利桑那响尾蛇队希望三届全明星凯特尔·马特能在下周回归阵容，此前他在波士顿的一场比赛前突然消失，距今已近两周。
响尾蛇队主教练托雷·洛夫洛周一表示，球队计划让这位二垒手在8月31日开始的主场系列赛对阵费城费城人队时复出。马特最初在失踪后被列入限制名单，随后因左膝轻微发炎被转入10天伤病名单。
洛夫洛表示：“这是我们的考虑方向。我认为那将是第10天或第11天，所以我们确实有策略让他重返赛场，让他恢复健康。”
洛夫洛称，马特周一已开始在球队位于斯科茨代尔的训练设施进行击球练习，击球教练乔·马瑟对他的进展感到鼓舞。
现年32岁的马特仍未向队友说明他为何在季后赛竞争关键时刻离队。响尾蛇队在周一对阵芝加哥小熊队的比赛前战绩为69胜62负，在国联外卡争夺战中落后圣地亚哥教士队两场。
这是马特连续第二年从球队突然失踪。去年，他在全明星休赛期期间，其位于亚利桑那州的住宅遭入室抢劫，他因此被列入限制名单。他飞回多米尼加共和国老家后错过了三场比赛，随后为缺席道歉。
洛夫洛表示，马特为人非常低调，球队会在合适的时机让他向队友说明情况。
洛夫洛说：“我们正在努力为他营造最柔和的环境，让他重新融入这个环境。这取决于他，他想怎么做都可以。”
“让凯特尔如此出色的原因之一，是他总是按照自己的节奏行事。我尊重这一点。”
洛夫洛还回应了外界担心马特回归时可能受到响尾蛇队球迷冷遇的问题。
洛夫洛说：“凯特尔是个非常可爱的年轻人。我不希望出现[嘘声]的情况。我理解这可能会发生，但我们都会支持他。”
安吉尔·里斯在对阵火花队的比赛中创下WNBA篮板球纪录
美联社报道
安吉尔·里斯在周一晚间对阵火花队的比赛中抢下26个篮板，不仅创下WNBA单场篮板球纪录，还打破了联盟单赛季篮板球纪录。亚特兰大梦想队最终以78比71战胜火花队。
里斯超越了由尚米克·霍尔德斯克劳在2003年5月23日为华盛顿队创造的24个篮板的纪录。
本赛季，里斯已抢下458个篮板，比2024赛季A'ja Wilson保持的纪录多出7个。亚特兰大梦想队在常规赛中还有6场比赛。
“上次我在这里时，投篮一球未失，”里斯在赛后节目中表示，“今晚我什么都投不进，所以我知道我能在篮板球方面做出贡献。我只想为我的球队做好一切——进攻、防守，无论什么都行，只要能赢球。”
里斯全场得到11分，并凭借比赛还剩13.9秒时的一记投篮，完成本赛季第27次两双，领跑WNBA。
Nneka Ogwumike为火花队（13-25）拿下27分和16个篮板，火花队已在系列赛中遭遇9连败。Dearica Hamby和Cameron Brink各得15分。
格雷为亚特兰大队（25-13）贡献20分。Rhyne Howard则得到18分，职业生涯总得分突破3,000分。格雷本赛季为亚特兰大队创造了单赛季投篮命中数纪录（247次）。

亚特兰大队在上半场以37比36落后，但在第三节开始阶段打出9比2的攻势。梦想队在第四节又以9比2开局，将比分扩大至71比57，此时比赛还剩6分57秒。
亚特兰大队前锋安吉尔·里斯（右）在对阵火花队Cameron Brink时突破上篮。里斯在周一晚间在Crypto.com竞技场进行的比赛中创下两项WNBA篮板球纪录，帮助球队以78比71获胜。
Cecilia Zandalasini在第四节独得8分，帮助金州女武神队（26-11）历史上首次战胜明尼苏达狼队，比分为80比66。
自2025年加入WNBA以来，金州队在常规赛和季后赛中对阵明尼苏达队时保持0胜9负的战绩。
前NBA球员无缘WNBA选秀
据知情人士周一透露，前NBA球员埃内斯·坎特·弗里德姆和罗伊斯·怀特无缘WNBA选秀。
该知情人士以情况敏感为由向美联社匿名置评，未详细说明两人被认定不合格的原因。
弗里德姆和怀特均已表达参与明年选秀的意向，但WNBA方面尚未公开说明其参选资格问题。
近期WNBA围绕跨性别女性（指出生时被指定为男性、后通过性别认同转变者）是否应获准参赛展开争议。该联盟历史上从未出现过此类球员。
尽管联盟集体谈判协议规定WNBA仅限女性参赛，但其中并未对性别认同或出生时性别做出更具体的说明。在宣布参选意向时，弗里德姆和怀特均表示自己认同女性身份。
身高6英尺10英寸、体重250磅的弗里德姆曾在NBA效力11个赛季。
怀特仅在NBA出场3次。
弗里德姆在周日晚间印第安纳vs芝加哥比赛中被驱逐出场，原因是他在第三节末段遭到天空队后卫娜塔莎·克劳德质问。
弗里德姆当时坐在底线附近，身穿一件黑色T恤，上面写着“WOMAN noun. adult human female”（女人：成年人类女性）。
在克劳德于第三节还剩1分22秒时得分后，天空队主教练叫了暂停。克劳德随即与队友艾莎·库利巴利击掌庆祝，随后转身朝弗里德姆走去。
34岁的克劳德一边朝弗里德姆走近，一边大喊并用手指着他。弗里德姆站起身张开双臂，在场上迈出一步，此时保安和数名天空队球员上前将两人隔开。
周日晚间，弗里德姆在社交媒体上写道：“我仅因支持女性就被逐出@WNBA比赛！让这件事在美国引起思考！”
克劳德赛后未接受记者采访。
天空队后卫索菲·坎宁安在上月接受ESPN专访时表示反对跨性别女孩和女性参与女子体育运动，自此该联盟陷入关于跨性别参与的争议之中。

A HOT TIME AT JUST LIKE HEAVEN
酷暑下的帕萨迪纳音乐节上，观众焦躁不安，但乐队却表现火热。以下是我们评选的六支最佳演出。
撰文：朱利叶斯·米勒
首届"Just Like Heaven"音乐节于2019年举办，由MGMT、Phoenix、Beach House和Yeah Yeah Yeahs等重量级乐队助阵。因2020年疫情短暂停办后，该活动于2022年重启，由Interpol、Modest Mouse、the Shins和M.I.A.等乐队领衔。
自此，这场专注于21世纪初独立摇滚的"黄金之声"音乐节成为年度固定活动，每年在帕萨迪纳罗斯碗公园的布鲁克赛德举行。
周六的演出中，这场自称"精心策划的庆典"推出的开场阵容略显平庸，但LCD Soundsystem和The Strokes的表演为整场活动注入了动力。
在高温达到95华氏度的酷暑中，主办方设置了喷雾风扇和降温巴士作为观众的避暑场所。两个舞台均设有可循环水站，围栏沿线也随处可见。
即便如此，帕萨迪纳的灼热阳光仍营造出异常恶劣的观众环境。在猎户座舞台的VIP围栏前，一群粉丝早早占据了位置。数小时内，他们纹丝不动——直到LCD Soundsystem登台。
演出期间，大批粉丝试图向前挤，渴望近距离观看。期间，人群骚动，一位年轻女性甚至建议一名脾气暴躁的闯入者"跳舞洗刷自己"。
与此同时，"Clubhouse"区后排的观众则在开阔的空地上自由起舞，令前排VIP观众颇为不满。直到The Strokes于晚间9点左右登台，VIP围栏前的这片空地才告终结。
一名保安在被询问VIP腕带是否可进入Clubhouse草坪时坦言："真希望能让你们都进去。"
我们预先说明，今年没有任何演出像去年"Cruel World"音乐节上的Go-Go's那样糟糕透顶。但总得有人来评选。[见《天堂》E6]

流行音乐无国界——如果你是Santos Bravos
这支在KCON赢得全场欢呼的男团来自拉丁美洲各地。
撰文：克里斯汀·特里塞
在洛杉矶Crypto.com竞技场的炽热灯光下，Santos Bravos的五名成员站在中央舞台，准备宣示他们国际巨星的地位。这是KCON——一年一度的韩国流行文化节（自2013年起每年举办）——的首个夜晚，而在8月14日，Santos Bravos成为史上首个登上节目单的拉丁美洲演出团体。
尽管该乐队出道不到一年，现场观众已沸腾不已，而当BTS最新热门专辑《Arirang》中的歌曲《Hooligan》那刀削般的音效响起时，全场气氛更是达到了顶点。由于人气极高，BTS的歌曲在KCON上常被其他团体翻唱，但同样隶属于母公司HYBE旗下的新人Santos Bravos，需要向观众证明更多实力。

《Hooligan》由西班牙制作人Fakeguido和El Guincho、韩国制作人Ghstloop以及美国制作人Jasper Harris共同打造。这首融合韩语与英语歌词的多元文化歌曲，对Santos Bravos而言再合适不过——五名成员共掌握三种语言，并代表

这家位于伯班克的俱乐部将击剑与具有电影感的锻炼方式相结合。
撰文：丽贝卡·莱布
当我们寻求健康灵感时，或许会回望其他时代，或是远古纪元（嗨，古代人），但没有哪个时代能像洛杉矶的击剑社群这般充满戏剧性与“公主新娘”式的浪漫。Swordplay LA正是其中的核心。这家位于伯班克地区的俱乐部既运动又平易近人，通过强调击剑的文化影响力——以及其幻想色彩——发出热情邀请（看到了吗，我刚刚做了个双关？），让人们结交朋友、欢乐同行并挥洒汗水。
自公元前12世纪起，击剑便成为战斗与娱乐的双重源泉。古埃及人在古代既用剑进行战争，也用于竞技；罗马人则在角斗士表演、仪式与决斗中使用剑。文艺复兴时期，意大利人将击剑发展为现代形式，不久之后，欧洲各地的击剑学校纷纷涌现。到了19世纪，击剑的普及程度极高，以至于它成为1896年奥运会五项原始比赛项目之一，时至今日仍是夏季奥运会备受欢迎的项目。
诚然，奥运会是公众熟悉的一个切入点，但这仅是我们对这项运动集体认知中的冰山一角。

“每个人都与击剑有某种关联，”Swordplay LA的老板玛丽·索拉·斯庞说，“大多是‘我孩子看过这部电影’或‘我喜欢这个角色’之类的。正是击剑背后的故事吸引人们参与其中。”
斯庞提到《权力的游戏》《指环王》《龙与地下城》《星球大战》，甚至《母女情深》等作品是新手入门的热门文化启发。尽管击剑深深植根于严肃的历史与传统，但斯庞认为，它在媒体中的呈现是最强大的吸引力。
“还有《星期三》，”斯庞补充道，Netflix剧集播出后，人们的兴趣激增，“我可不会说《星期三》拯救了世界，但某些流行文化确实会奇妙地影响参与热情。”
斯庞深谙此道。7岁时，她就被《霍克》与《彼得·潘》中的剑术所着迷。作为土生土长的洛杉矶人，她开始在Swordplay LA上课，不久便成为全国排名前列的青少年击剑选手。她参加了美国奥运选拔赛，并被西北大学一级击剑队招募。大学毕业后，她成为一名特技演员、动作编排师，专攻欧洲武器。斯庞曾为知名演员、运动员和奥运选手授课（她最喜欢的经历之一是为查理兹·塞隆在电影《老卫队2》中教授细剑技巧），直到有一天，她有机会接手自己最初热爱的运动场所——并抓住了这个机会。
七年后，斯庞不再热衷于高竞技压力，而是更专注于在Swordplay LA为学员们营造一个包容、支持的社群。学员来自洛杉矶各地，年龄跨度从7岁到85岁
剑术洛杉矶
地点：伯班克伊莎贝尔街西130号 费用：单次体验课程40美元，会员费用为每月50至450美元 详情：splafencing.com
岁。而她成功了：近170名会员、数百节课程过后，剑术洛杉矶已成为洛杉矶历史最悠久的击剑俱乐部之一，其多元化课程（如特技、职业摔跤及欧洲历史武术，简称HEMA）提供了全市最独特的健身体验。
走进剑术洛杉矶位于伯班克的总部大楼时，我担心自己会力不从心。像许多初学者一样，我对击剑的现实一无所知：它的严格要求、装备、客户群。那里会只有我一个女人吗？我会伤到自己或他人吗？我该穿得更正式些吗，像电影里那些动作敏捷的大学击剑反派那样？
我的担忧很快就被打消了——那里确实有女性。还有武器墙、“权力的游戏”风格的木质装饰，以及一张醒目地挂着的中土世界地图。虽然这里绝对是运动场所，但精心打造了剑术洛杉矶的氛围，让它充满叙事感——认可那些启发俱乐部客户的书籍、电视和电影。
“我投入了很多心思在空间的设计和感受上。我想让这里仍然像一处体育设施，但同时兼具创意和艺术气息。让它贴合吸引人们来到这里的元素。”她说。
所有人都非常友好，在时尚方面，这里没有翻领夹克——只有运动服和酷炫的击剑装备：面罩、护胸和腋下护具。
当我穿上装备时，确实感觉自己很酷。手持长剑、屈膝开立、双脚分开，摆好“预备”姿势时，我感觉更酷了。
尽管我们常见到击剑的各种描绘，但它的规则其实相当直观：在狭窄的“剑道”上，两名运动员挥舞长剑，争取先击中对方，同时避免被对手击中（是的，你确实可以在前进前大喊“预备”）。像瑜伽或舞蹈一样，这项运动是一种与身体自然动作相协调的健身方式，强度适合使用古老武器。
“它有很多自然元素。”在课程中向我保证，“从最基础的角度来说，知道如何握剑、如何使用它。每个人对它的外观和感受都有自己的想象，而人们能get到。”
在30分钟的入门课结束时，我们甚至真的进行了对决。我充满力量地靠近，像是诺兰《奥德赛》中汗流浃背的临时演员，感受到的只有戏剧性，而没有任何危险。
氛围：拳击馆与《权力的游戏》的结合体。
强度：这是一小时的全身运动，对初学者而言，手腕和手部可能稍显吃力；装备可能闷热且需要适应。但战斗以短暂的冲刺形式进行，留出大量休息、交谈和享受运动的时间。
独特卖点：能够挥舞拥有数千年历史的武器，并感受其完善的使用方式，这本身就极为酷炫。这项运动还充满戏剧性；充分投入其中，能让学员从俱乐部体验中脱离，进入一种如同LARP般的迷人恍惚状态。
拉丁美洲男子组合在KCON赢得观众心
洛杉矶县。
多种拉丁文化。
对于BTS粉丝来说，几乎达到这位超级明星组合的表演水准才能接受。但当Santos Bravos用英语演唱开场诗句时，人群爆发出欢呼声——尤其是当来自巴西的主唱Kauê Penna滑步上台接替BTS主唱Jungkook的高音部分时。
虽然不同背景的艺术家合作并不新鲜，但Santos Bravos与Hybe x Geffen女子组合Katseye一样，是一项将K-pop训练、营销方法和粉丝文化带向全球其他地区的努力的一部分。
凭借BTS的全球成功，Hybe从一家中型厂牌发展成为韩国最大的音乐和娱乐公司之一。Santos Bravos隶属于名为Hybe Latin America的部门，总部位于墨西哥城，乐队也以此为家。他们是首个总部设在墨西哥城的Hybe组合。
从2025年名为《Santos Bravos — La Serie》的2025年竞赛真人秀的17名决赛选手中脱颖而出，他们争夺成为Santos Bravos成员的机会。在此过程中，他们获得了BTS前资深编舞及表演总监Son Sung-deuk的反馈和指导。他们还与总部位于迈阿密的古巴裔美国编舞Cultura密切合作，后者曾与Maluma、J Balvin和Karol G等艺人合作过。
最终五人在2025年10月的节目决赛中首次以组合身份登台，在墨西哥国家Auditorio Nacional Mexico前的10,000名观众面前表演。Santos Bravos的成员包括来自巴西圣若昂-德梅里蒂的19岁Penna、来自墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯的16岁Kenneth Lavill、来自波多黎各圣胡安的21岁Gabi Bermúdez、来自秘鲁利马的22岁Alejandro Aramburú以及来自
不满一年成立，Santos Bravos就登顶Billboard拉丁音乐排行榜。今年1月，他们在Willy Chavarria巴黎时装秀“Eterno”中与Mon Laferte和Feid同台演出。6月，他们的首张EP《Dual》最高排名至Billboard拉丁流行专辑榜第17位。同月，乐队在第2026年Premios Tu Música Urbano Mix上赢得首个奖项——粉丝投票的最佳艺人组合或团体奖。
Santos Bravos将于8月13日在洛杉矶KCON演出，隶属于总部位于墨西哥城的韩国流行音乐厂牌Hybe拉丁美洲分部。他们是首个来自美国或亚洲以外地区的Hybe组合。
“我们非常自律，”曾在加入乐队前定居西柯维纳的Venegas说。周六我在洛杉矶会议中心见到乐队，那是他们KCON爆红后的时刻。
“一天的训练相当于平时一周的训练，”他补充道，“我认为将我们所有的文化融合在一起，同时保持拉丁本色与K-pop方法论，[能]带来全新且清新的视觉体验。”
尽管该组合不以韩语演出——除非是为了好玩——他们迎合K-pop粉丝，这很容易实现，因为他们本身也是K-pop粉丝。他们曾访问过位于首尔的Hybe总部，与Le Sserafim、BoyNextDoor等乐队合作，并通过Hybe旗下社交平台Weverse向粉丝直播演出。他们甚至曾在韩国电视上表演过。
但对于Santos Bravos的成员来说，文化交流远不止营销层面。
在墨西哥，维内加斯说：“当你在吃饭时，我们会说‘Buen provecho’，这就像‘享用你的食物’一样。无论是谁，无论你从谁身边走过。食物是认可他人的重要组成部分，这也是我们与韩国文化[的共同之处]。”
两人大多用西班牙语交谈——维内加斯和彭纳都把西班牙语作为第二语言学习——他们偶尔会忘记自己正在用哪种语言交谈。
“有时候我发现自己在不需要的时候用英语和肯尼思或卡韦说话。”温和的阿兰布鲁插话道。他会弹吉他——在作为流行明星的演出间隙，他正在南加州大学完成音乐学位。
“我们学习这么多语言为我们打开了这么多扇门，”阿兰布鲁说，“就我个人而言，无论走到哪里，我都喜欢学习当地语言。我现在正在Duolingo上学习韩语。”
彭纳认为语言不仅能为拉丁艺术家打开大门，还能通过他们的音乐触达更多人。
“谢谢上帝拉丁美洲正在被关注，”彭纳说，“你知道，人们能看到我们在做什么，也对我们的语言、我们的文化感兴趣。在我们[访问的]每个国家，我们都尽力多了解当地文化。现在我们正在专注于葡萄牙语”——他们在《Velocidade》这首歌中尝试使用了这门语言——“当然还有英语。”
维内加斯发现自己作为一个在成长过程中没有说西班牙语的墨西哥裔美国人的经历，与一些人产生了共鸣。
“有一些粉丝走到我面前，他们是墨西哥裔，但成长过程中没有像我一样学习西班牙语的机会，”他说，“他们立刻语塞，内心充满情感。我开始变得情绪激动，因为我能感受到那种心痛和……害怕的感觉，仿佛你不属于这里……这正是我曾有过的感受。能够和他们交谈并听到他们说‘好吧，你成长过程中没有人用西班牙语和你说话，但你仍然被人像我一样称作mijo’时，让我感到我不再孤单，感到自己很重要。”
当被问及为什么有些人难以理解多种族拉丁裔身份——卡迪·B被作为例子提及——彭纳发表了看法。
“作为桑托斯·布拉沃斯中的一个非洲裔拉丁裔对我来说意义重大，”彭纳说，“我认为这种‘这个或那个’的概念……这只是文化差异。我也在努力理解另一种文化如何看待我。作为巴西人，我们非常混血。当然，我有非洲血统，我有原住民血统……但当然，我为自己在桑托斯·布拉沃斯中所代表的一切感到非常开放和自豪。”
“人们总是喜欢分门别类，”贝穆德斯说，他成长过程中崇拜波多黎各歌手查扬内。在波多黎各长大，父母拥有波多黎各和古巴血统的贝穆德斯对试图分裂拉丁裔的做法感到愤怒。
“我们作为桑托斯·布拉沃斯希望向世界传达，拉丁美洲是一个整体，”他说
在KCON结束后的周一，我第二次见到桑托斯·布拉沃斯的成员，他们正在圣莫尼卡的Hybe America办公室里闲逛。维内加斯翻阅着手机，而彭纳则从我们身边经过去办公室冰箱拿饮料。我问他是否累了。“有点累，”他回答道，但他说自己还好。
楼上，经过一张BTS的大幅海报时，我见到了Hybe Global Label Services总裁胡安塞·阿雷纳斯，他负责在艺人母国市场之外推广艺人。他说公司在构思这个组合时仔细研究了数据和调研。
“墨西哥区域音乐真的火了起来，就连巴德·班尼本人也走向了全球，”阿雷纳斯说，“你有卡萝尔·G、J·巴尔温，这些来自我们国家的顶级艺术家。拉丁音乐不再仅仅是拉丁音乐；它已成为全球性的，对吧？现在，K-pop有一套成熟的方法论，培养出了非常成功的团体。但你不能只是把这种方法论生搬硬套到新的地区和新的地方——你必须考虑成员来自哪里、是什么激励着他们、什么驱动着他们，以及他们所面向的受众。”
拍完个人宣传照后，他们聚在一起合唱了一首轻快的抒情歌曲《MHM》的无伴奏版，用于社交内容。他们还在Weverse的直播中与粉丝互动，表达了即将离开洛杉矶的不舍。
“我们很快就要离开洛杉矶了，我的大家庭，”拉维对粉丝们说，“我们感到很难过。”

为让每种文化发笑而在国外工作
《康南·奥布莱恩必须走》的迈克·斯威尼谈喜剧如何跨文化传播
作为不断壮大的名人旅行纪录片子类型的一员，康南·奥布莱恩曾在西班牙与哈维尔·巴登拥抱、在维也纳装扮成西格蒙德·弗洛伊德，并在泰国与一名泰拳选手对决。
《康南·奥布莱恩必须走》的新一季将这位常旅行的喜剧人带到印度、荷兰、摩洛哥和菲律宾——与当地国际粉丝互动，并测试其即兴幽默的跨文化适应性。他的长期合作者、每集编剧兼导演迈克·斯威尼接受了《泰晤士报》采访，谈及本季拍摄地点及奥布莱恩对防晒霜的需求。
该系列为康南提供了与国际粉丝互动的机会，尤其是那些曾参与其播客的粉丝。你认为康南的幽默风格为何如此受欢迎？
他无所畏惧。我认为这很有帮助。他真心热爱他人，必须让人们发笑。在美国他必须时时让人发笑。若将他置于另一个国家，他也会想方设法让当地人捧腹，哪怕没人会说英语。这简直像被扔进一个房间，他必须找到氧气——而他会通过让所有人发笑来实现。我敢肯定，有摄像机在场，人们会好奇。他们往往会吸引那些想要敞开心扉、玩得尽兴的人。人们能从老远就认出他。这也是优秀旅行节目的另一个关键——找一个个子高高、头发橘红的主持人。
首集设定在印度。开场是他试图挤上拥挤的通勤火车。本集中有哪些瞬间让你印象深刻？
是的，我们想去拍摄著名的孟买通勤列车。天哪，要拿到站台拍摄的许可，审批流程之复杂简直疯狂。我们必须提前好几个月就开始办手续。但我们很喜欢[那段]。我们喜欢街头板球的拍摄。他有一位教他打板球的年轻人，名叫维尔[潘迪]，非常风趣，对康南有些不屑，而这正是康南的可爱之处。
有些国家有着极其严格的限制——你可能需要许可才能在街头与人交谈。
《水疗周末》
[与E1《朋友》为同一系列]：工作狂律师简（莱斯利·曼恩饰）、怨妇单身妈妈科科（米歇尔·比图饰）和唯唯诺诺的老好人索菲（安娜·法瑞丝饰）。
梅尔也许是个灾难，满嘴脏话、举止粗鲁，但她那夸张的干预却让朋友们受益匪浅。她帮紧绷的简与性感的瑜伽教练（亚当·德莫斯饰）打得火热，让索菲被解雇离开有毒工作，还把科科的前夫罗杰（多米尼克·奥纳-阿里基饰）诱骗到度假村来“和好”。朋友们气得要命，但她们或许没得到想要的（放松），却得到了需要的（解放）。一切只需一点可卡因和脱衣舞男。
《水疗周末》延续了《欲望都市》和《都市女孩》等剧集那种“四人帮”式的叙事风格，角色类型丰富且摩擦不断。近来《读书俱乐部》《80岁的布雷迪》等黄金老年喜剧，以及已故的黛安·基顿主演的太多电影，都让友情团体踏上重新审视人际关系与生活目标的旅程。浪漫、犯罪与淘气的恶作剧接踵而至，友情经受考验——最终却更加牢固。请播放花絮集锦。
她们总是把自己放在最后，《水疗周末》却在为她们争取优先位置。这是部电影，主张拥抱最疯狂的朋友，因为她们为原本无聊、超负荷的生活带来刺激。以上一切都是事实。只是在这里，这些主题与教训被赤裸裸地嚷嚷出来，毫无含蓄可言。若我们还没get到，简会用大段直白的演讲把这些主题和教训说得明明白白。
《水疗周末》最让人分心的，是其诡异的地理设定。故事发生在洛杉矶，但咖啡馆和商店明显不是本地风格，最烂、最过时的洛杉矶交通素材也掩盖不了这一事实。
算了吧？确实如此。诚然，职场妈妈们开了约45分钟车，沿着蜿蜒林间小道抵达度假村，那里坐落在白色沙滩绵延数英里的热带胜地。简曾声称她们离家有100英里。这绝不可能是恩西尼塔斯。所有设定都说不通，直到片尾字幕才揭晓——该片竟是在澳大利亚昆士兰州拍摄的。但若观众对地理设定如此挑剔，说明故事本身并不那么引人入胜。
可以称之为吹毛求疵，但这恰恰暴露出这类电影投入了多少——或多少——心思与工艺，而它的目标观众偏偏是女性。正如《坏妈妈》系列电影，《水疗周末》既不深刻、不有趣，也不搞笑。它居高临下、粗制滥造，幽默总瞄准最低级趣味。请别指望我会对“山羊瑜伽”冲进酒店大堂的闹剧或高速高尔夫球车追逐大笑不止。告诉你吧？梅尔的行李箱里塞满了性玩具。
除了陈词滥调，我们更无法感受到这些女性真正的内心世界，或她们与他人的关系。我们只能通过男性视角了解她们：简渴望瑜伽教练，科科对罗杰大发雷霆，索菲被老板欺负。她们的一切都只停留在肤浅的符号层面。
正因如此，费舍尔饰演的梅尔才显得如此颠覆。她也许是个骗子和说谎者（一个被严重忽视的支线剧情），但她已将男性彻底边缘化——如此彻底，以至于连社交礼惯的规则都束缚不了她。若这就是“灾难”，那我甘愿报名。但请别让卢卡斯与摩尔再拍女性喜剧了。她们还是回到熟悉的大学兄弟会和单身派对剧组去吧。

直面加沙：美国医生的坚守与呐喊
三位医生在战火中救治伤员，同时强力控诉人间悲剧。
大多数纪录片会恳求观众不要回避它们所记录的恐怖，但很少有纪录片能像《美国医生》这样明确地提出这一请求。
Watermelon Pictures 费鲁兹·西德瓦（中）在纪录片中进行手术。他展现出镇定自若的自信。
在导演彭诗婷的这部令人沮丧的影片开头，她与马克·珀尔马特——一位北卡罗来纳州的外科医生——共度时光。与影片中的其他主人公一样，珀尔马特志愿前往加沙，救治在持续的以巴冲突中严重受伤的民众。面对无辜巴勒斯坦儿童遭受的袭击，珀尔马特向彭诗婷展示了死者的照片。她说可能需要在电影中模糊这些画面。珀尔马特愤怒地回应：“不展示它们，你并没有为他们服务。你和我一样，有责任说出真相。”
彭诗婷确实揭示了那些触目惊心的面孔，以及更多真相——不仅展现了以色列对巴勒斯坦领土的轰炸所造成的可怕人道代价，也展现了医生们在竭力挽救生命的同时，为传播他们所目睹的暴行而承受的压力。
珀尔马特是犹太人，是彭诗婷纪录片中三位美国医生的核心人物之一。另外两位分别是巴勒斯坦裔的塔埃尔·艾哈迈德和费鲁兹·西德瓦。他们虽定居美国，却被吸引前往加沙医院提供援助——只要能获准进入该地区。（由于艾哈迈德的巴勒斯坦血统，以色列政府禁止他入境。）作为人道主义努力的一部分，珀尔马特和同事们在西方媒体（如CNN）上谴责巴勒斯坦民众的境况。他们常常遭遇抵制，甚至是公然的敌意。伤亡不断增加，而医院围墙之外似乎无人关心。
彭诗婷曾制作过2019年奥斯卡提名短片《圣路易斯超人》，讲述一位黑人活动家的故事。在这部新作中，她再次深思
《美国医生》
英语、阿拉伯语和希伯来语，配字幕 片长：1小时31分钟 上映地点：拉米尔皇家影院
一个人能为改变做些什么。她巧妙地平衡了三重性格研究与对无休止战争的更宏观审视。我们渐渐钦佩艾哈迈德、珀尔马特和西德瓦，但滕恰到好处地展现了他们之间微妙的文化张力。
这种紧张在热心却激进的珀尔马特不得体的媒体亮相中显露无遗——他挥舞着对犹太复国主义的激烈批评，令巴勒斯坦人艾哈迈德愤怒不已。“我们会因关联而被定罪，最终被彻底碾碎。”他忧心忡忡。这是一部缺乏振奋时刻的纪录片。滕和她的主人公们深陷于艰难抉择与严峻环境之中。
尽管艾哈迈德在美国基本被边缘化，仍继续为巴勒斯坦人民发声，西德瓦成为《美国医生》最引人注目的角色。他以雄辩的正义之怒，带着振奋人心的道德权威向记者们发声。滕大多避免让主人公们出镜接受采访，更倾向于观察他们与病患互动或在手术室中的场景。我们渐渐了解西德瓦——他展现出冷静的自信，即使在差点被导弹炸死时也不为所动。
但这种自信在一次不设防的交谈中被微妙动摇，他承认尚未有意中人能接受他渴望重返加沙的愿望。“我想我大概是个很难相处的人吧。”他笑着坦言，“我希望能把没女人能忍受我的原因归咎于以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突，但我认为那不是问题所在。”
记录加沙暴力的方式千千万万，耐人寻疑的是滕仅用一段极短的新闻剪辑呈现特朗普总统与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡——这两个幽灵般的身影高高悬于影片悲剧上空，尽管他们是这场悲剧的主要策划者。相反，《美国医生》聚焦于微观层面，为医生和护理人员发声，他们本应在武装冲突中被《日内瓦公约》保护。以色列政府却针对医院发动袭击，在大规模伤亡之外制造心灵创伤。
片尾字幕显示，已有超过1,700名医护人员在加沙丧生，将责任归咎于以色列和美国。但这恰恰证明了《美国医生》中那些医生的伟大之处——他们无一人认为这是该地区发生的最严重罪行。我们看到他们为自身的无力而悲叹：他们的医术能拯救一些生命，但远远不够。当他们返回美国时，他们为无法做得更多而痛苦自责——待他们归来时，加沙还会剩下什么？

我们有三个未满15岁的孩子。我悲痛欲绝，但为了给他们维持些许正常生活，我必须坚持下去。我重返校园，找到工作，供孩子们上大学，等等。
几年前，一个炸弹新闻袭来。我的小女儿说我从未陪伴过她，我只会用寒暄话与她交流，邮件只是我向她报告自己近况的地方。（这不就是邮件的用途吗？）
纵横字谜
她说我没有告诉她我爱她，没有在她的婚礼上给予足够帮助，把她的孩子当作脸书素材使用，还偏袒她的一个孩子，而且不够常去看望她和她的家人。（我住的地方距离她超过1,200英里。）她说自从我没能陪在她身边后，她婆婆对她的支持让她感到很幸福。
她说我们的关系只是表面功夫，这不是她想要的。她很满足于她那一小群朋友的小圈子。
我应该去看望她吗？无论我说什么做什么，她都会批评我。我认为很多问题都来自她的“治疗师”。
不受欢迎的婆婆
亲爱的母亲： 对于你经历的可怕损失，我深表歉意，也为你正在经历的这段与女儿共度的创伤时期感到难过。这其中可能有一些是她因无法解决的悲伤情绪而产生的反应，但由于她不愿与你沟通，很难判断。
我已经智穷计尽，不知道该怎么办。也许我们应该选择疏远。这样每次邮件到来时，我们都能免去一些悲伤和焦虑。就算我现在去看望她，我也

你告诉过我你们的关系并非她所愿。尽管她列举了过去你令她感到委屈的种种，我想知道她是否能指出你们今后可以做出哪些改变。你可以这样说：“对于过去的错误，我深表歉意。我希望能逐步解决，但若我们能为未来设定不同的方向，会更容易做到。我们可以承诺一两项可执行的改变吗？”
过去的事情可能令人不堪重负，显然你们对过去的看法存在分歧。建议并非忽视过去，但过去无法在一日之间解决。不过，明天能有所不同，唯有你和她共同努力。

Dear Eric: I would like to add something to your response to "Property Brothers," the parents who must move closer to medical providers. Both of their sons want them to build a home on their property. Your answer addressing the emotional aspect is fine.
I'm a financial advisor. The following must be addressed to avoid a potential falling out between sons and to protect own estate. They must have a written, legal document that states if the son on whose property they build dwelling divorces, dies or sells his property, there is language that addresses how the parents are compensated.
When they die and if they have substantial assets, the other son will be compensated for assets that are equivalent to the amount of the home. If there are no assets other than the home, how will the son with the dwelling on his property compensate his brother?
PROPERTY PROTECTION
Email questions to eric@askingeric.com.
Dear Property: Thank you for this addendum. That's a very helpful insight that will, hopefully, save the family from future strife.

我们六大最热演出：仿若天堂
[天堂，
TWIN PEAKS、Dayglow乐队（右上角）以及LCD Soundsystem乐队（詹姆斯·墨菲，左上角）是帕萨迪纳音乐节的亮点之一。观众在演出间隙探索艺术装置（右上角）。 摄影：卡尔林·斯蒂尔 为《洛杉矶时报》
6 Chromeo 炫目的Chromeo乐队或许过于明亮—— 他们在晚上9点前登上星尘舞台，戴维·麦克洛维奇身穿低领T恤和闪亮西装。他左侧的帕特里克·杰马耶尔（艺名P-Thugg）则戴着水钻头巾和皮背心，胸膛裸露。
Chromeo并非糟糕的表演者；实际上，他们在乐坛摸爬滚打二十余载。但他们被夹在“史上最佳乐队”之间，麦克洛维奇告诉观众。
因此，观众在演出过程中逐渐散去，二人只得绝望地恳求：“手拍呢？”有趣的是，杰马耶尔通过对讲盒（似乎连接合成器）请观众移动——想象一下史提夫·汪达翻唱卡朋特乐队的《Close to You》。
不得不为这对加拿大人感到遗憾，他们全力以赴。但他们在充斥独立摇滚乐队的阵容中显得格格不入。
5 TWIN PEAKS 遗憾的是，TWIN PEAKS乐队下午4:30的演出因技术问题开场，长时间的音响检查占据了他们上台后的前10分钟。需要说明的是，这并非他们的责任。
当他们继续首轮歌曲时，麦克风音量偏低，歌词被淹没在混音中。所幸到演唱《Butterfly》时，情况有所改善，观众也随之回应。
当贝斯手杰克·多兰摇头晃脑时掉了眼镜，吉他手克莱·弗兰克尔在台上打滚，观众席有人开始冲浪。特别点赞他们在演出中的合唱环节，为整场定下了基调。
乐队以最佳曲目、舒缓迷人的《Blue Coupe》收官。
4 Dayglow 我记得十几岁时，“今晚能给你打电话吗”常萦绕在我的大学生活中。20多岁疫情期间的Depop热潮中，我买了一件Dayglow绿色T恤，黄色70年代风格字体。后来我把它送给了一个比我更喜欢他们的夏日恋人，现在坦白：我真希望没送出去。
于是，在下午5:10的演出中，我坐在布鲁克赛德草坪上，穿着海军蓝的Watergate酒店T恤。
据主唱斯隆·斯特拉布透露，这是他们今年的唯一一场演出，因此他们格外开心。
“What’s up, L.A.?”他停顿后纠正道。“Pasadena!”
当他们演唱到《今晚能给你打电话吗》时，观众沸腾了，与自由不羁的斯特拉布积蓄的能量相呼应。“这太他妈有趣了！”他大喊，旁边一位女士穿着长款花夏装旋转。
整体而言，他们的演出简单却充满乐趣，这也是他们能舒适地排在这个榜单中间位置的原因。
3 The Strokes 将The Strokes排到第三位并不容易。在任何情况下，将这支曼哈顿摇滚五人组称为第三最佳乐队，都像是对音乐的亵渎。但这支当红必看乐队，仅仅是被其他乐队的光芒所掩盖。
《洛杉矶时报》25.08.2026
乐队大约在9:50登台，气势如虹。他们的舞台存在感极强，目前正凭借《Reality Awaits》以及时隔15年首次在科切拉音乐节的演出，重新回到聚光灯下。
朱利叶斯·卡萨布兰卡斯以《Hard to Explain》开场，将麦克风拉近，像2009年那样放声高唱歌词。绿色激光射向人群，照亮了那些通宵排队、双脚酸痛的粉丝们的面孔。
接下来是互动环节，这向来是亮点：“甜蜜的家，却不是家，”卡萨布兰卡斯开口道，随即补充，“差不多算家。第二个家。”
他感慨能在“即将被废弃的玫瑰碗”附近演出是种荣幸，因为“没人想去那里”。
“没人想和我一起玩了！”他开玩笑道，似乎在影射《玩具总动员》。
随后他们演奏了《Some-day》，他坦言最近“把这首歌玩坏了”，令他意外的是，“这首歌可能已经弹了20,000遍”。
其他亮点还包括他称这场音乐节“比科切拉还好”，以及关于LCD Soundsystem的詹姆斯·墨菲的轶事。
“LCD在我们之前演出……那很棒，”他开口道，“我总觉得……多年前詹姆斯·墨菲曾邀请我们上《周六夜现场》，还说他要退休。那是什么情况？”
“多么惊喜，我还以为他15年前就退休了！”
演出正式结束于《The Adults Are Talking》，不久之后还有返场。他们又加演了两首歌，最后一首是《Selfless》，直到“他们给我们来了老一套收场”。
TV Girl 他们在6:05抵达猎户座舞台，
乔达娜·奈身着海蓝色上衣和紫色裙子陪同他们登台。布拉德·彼得林热情洋溢地按动Roland采样器，手里拿着绿色电子烟，穿着Sublime乐队的T恤。佐伊·齐曼在身后轻轻摇摆，简单的T恤配复古湖人短裤。
“看这里！”彼得林说着，开始演奏《Birds Don't Sing》。
“我能看到我家！”他补充道，随即跳起踢踏舞。
奈最终演唱了几首独唱曲目，高音部分表现出色；她在《Sweet to Dream》中轻松唱出高音。不久之后，他们请来乔治·克兰顿，观众尖叫不已：“和他经纪人扯皮了一番，敲定酬劳，他就来了！”
克兰顿昂首走出，带着三瓶水，其中一瓶倒在彼得林身上。另外两瓶被拧开后扔进人群。镜头迅速切到乔达娜骑在乐队成员背上。
现场氛围超出我的所有预期。说他们抢了风头可能有失公允，但我确信他们一直有这个实力。
1 LCD Soundsystem 除了他们还能是谁？
我最近在好莱坞露天剧场看过LCD Soundsystem的演出，他们与Britpop乐队Pulp合作。我过去只听过他们的热门曲目——都得怪我父亲，他非要放鲍勃·迪伦的歌——但那场演出简直让人想一遍又一遍地重温。
在布鲁克赛德，大约晚上7:40，我羡慕地望向404记者丽贝卡·卡斯蒂略，她即将首次见证这支布鲁克林乐队。
整场演出视觉效果震撼，快速切换的镜头中南希·旺在键盘上疾奏，埃尔·多伊尔操弄合成器，墨菲对着麦克风大喊，手臂挥舞。旺穿着豹纹西装外套，多伊尔戴着宽檐黑帽——两人都化着金红色眼妆。
“嗨，大家好，”墨菲说，“我们会尽量高效……我们的歌太——长了。”
但演出转瞬即逝，我唯一看表的原因是想知道还能和乐队共度多少时间，珍惜每一秒。
在同一场好莱坞露天剧场音乐会上，我的朋友在《All My Friends》演唱前对我说，这首歌是“最好的歌曲”。她补充说，这就是马蒂·希利不断强调这首歌上瘾性钢琴riff的原因。
音乐创造连接
[Scott，来自E1]深深沉浸其中——紧紧抓住她的每一句话，以及她轻松演奏出的每一个看似不可能的音符。没过多久，我们甚至忘记了自己没有带设备。微笑充满了这个私密的房间。情侣们一起跳舞。陌生人相互欢唱，有人闭上眼睛，有人双手抚胸，完全沉醉于见证一位资深艺术家在舞台上的自如表演。
在本次巡演迄今为止的唯一一次采访中，我们在后台与斯科特交谈，探讨她为何从不以相同方式演唱同一首歌、移除设备如何让音乐会变得更好，以及她为何认为《致有缘人》理应获得多项荣誉。
我仍在从演出的能量中缓过神来。演出结束后感觉如何？
我内心火热，需要几个小时才能平静下来。［笑］
你一直将音乐描述为你与观众之间亲密的双向对话。在这次巡演中，你创造了一个严格无手机的空间。你为何决定这样做？这种转变如何改变了你作为表演者的体验？
原因有几个。一方面，这很可怕，因为我和观众之间没有任何缓冲，这实际上让人害怕，但我接受了这一点。另一方面，这又很美妙，因为观众一开始对没有缓冲——无论是我与空间之间，还是他们与空间之间——感到紧张。然后我看到他们逐渐放松，每晚都能从中获得乐趣。这是我最喜欢的部分。
吉尔·斯科特正在进行《致有缘人》的巡演，这是她十余年来的首张专辑。
听到像你这样多年在高水平舞台上表演的人说感到害怕，我有些意外。
因为我在乎。这对我来说很重要。我真的希望他们能玩得开心。我真的希望他们能释放一些东西，允许自己去感受。如果他们想接吻，想跳舞，想哭泣，想大喊，想举起双手，或静静坐着，我希望他们能做到。我认为这很重要。这就是关系。这就是艺术家与乐迷之间真正的关系。这是音乐与听众之间的连接。
我在这里是为了服务。我在这里是为了推动这艘船前行，但真正的关系是他们与音乐之间的，而我只是一个媒介。这可能是我最喜欢的另一个部分。你必须放下自我，让一切自然发生。有时你可能会把快乐和生命力从某件事中榨干。我们练习很多，但随后又忘记所有练习，让它保持鲜活。我的音乐家必须拥有自由。这是工作的一部分。所以如果他们每晚都以完全相同的方式演奏同一首曲子，他们可能不会在这里待太久。
我需要他们敞开心扉，每晚从自己的角度重新发现音乐。这是他们在舞台上的11个视角，当然还有灯光设计师。我需要他自由发挥。不要每晚都给我相同的灯光和相同时间。前场音响工程师和我们的耳内监听器也是如此，每个人都在发挥作用。“她需要什么？让我们读懂她。让我们，你知道，关注她。她需要什么？”这非常有趣。
你和整个乐队都能感受到这一点。
今晚的观众不一样。他们非常专注。昨晚他们从一开始就跳了一整晚舞，我甚至看不到地板。今晚他们在倾听。我知道这是周三晚上，大家明天都要上班，但他们很棒。倾听的观众可能是我最喜爱的。他们安静下来，我会想“哦，这太可怕了。我做得对吗？”［笑］但这意味着他们在倾听。谁不希望被听见呢？
Your son came out with you tonight. How was that experience for you?
这很美好。他告诉我Tierra Whack不会和我们一起巡演，因为她有新专辑《Whack's Museum》要发布，所以她有点忙。他还说：“妈，你觉得我来唱第二段怎么样？”我就说：“明天带着麦克风来音响检查的时候再说。”
他看起来在台上很自在。
是啊。这有点吓人，又超级让人兴奋。我不知道他想要做什么，但他正在参与我们的演出，所以他也是团队的一员。等他表演完，他会换回黑色衣服继续工作，我喜欢他这种责任感。他超出了所有人的预期，表现得太好了。你在舞台上看到的所有衣服，都是他熨好的。
他确实在努力往上走。
是的，你必须靠自己去争取。
专辑《To Whom This May Concern》于2月发布，感觉像是最爱的阿姨写给你的情书。里面有从错误中学习、尊敬先人和爱自己的教诲。现在歌迷们已经听了这几个月的歌，我很好奇在现场表演是否改变了他们与这些歌曲的关系？
没有。在精彩的夜晚，我喜欢讲述我读过的故事。我喜欢在众人面前将它们具体化。我喜欢看到他们以新的方式体验这些故事。我是这种感觉的粉丝。这让一切变得越来越真实。然后我看着有多少人跟着唱，有多少人在看我，我就会想“哎呦”。它正在触及人们，我知道每晚的观众都不同，所以这会有所不同。我为这个项目感到兴奋，也为它如何感动人们感到高兴。你希望自己如此拼命的东西不会付诸东流，我知道流行音乐可以很快被人遗忘，但我相信优秀的作品终会浮出水面。这26年很美好。我期待未来的26年——以我的方式。
这张专辑获得了歌迷和评论家的大量赞誉。格莱美提名还有几个月才会公布，但在这个职业生涯阶段，这样的认可对你有多重要？它还像你刚开始职业生涯时那么重要吗？
我认为我值得。仅此而已。[露出微笑]
我是说，这个项目从头到尾都是我的心血。我熬了很多夜写歌，肚子里充满饥饿感，还有一种野性的渴望。我是说真的。一切都是真实的，我也爱这样的自己。这种东西需要时间，我认为在音乐上它很棒。我觉得这些故事很棒且有意义，从策划到营销，一切都来自我的灵魂，我认为它值得拥有—。

Bessent rolls out financial ‘D-Day’ for Iran
The U.S. unveils plan for all-out economic attack on Tehran and its trade partners.

WASHINGTON — The United States unveiled plans Monday for new sanctions against Iran that Trump administration officials said are designed to sever Tehran from the global financial system as the nearly six-month conflict between the two countries drags on.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who previewed the announcement last week as “economic D-Day,” described the measures as the opening of an all-out financial assault on the Iranian government and its trade partners — a group that includes China, India, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
“To those who enable Tehran, do not discount the cost of testing Washington’s resolve,” Bessent said at a news conference. “No nation should expect to enjoy the rewards of our system while helping those who seek to destroy it.”
Bessent said it was time for world leaders to “make a decision” between “America and Iran,” adding that President Trump has already been calling foreign leaders to make specific requests ahead of the new sanctions.
But when asked whom the president had been talking to, Bessent said he would not “name names.” He also said the secondary measure would not take effect immediately, arguing that the administration is trying to give “everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior.”
"Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?" Bessent said when a reporter pressed him on why the sanctions weren't immediate. "We believe that it is important to level set and give people a cure period, but they should know [See Iran, A7]

The heat is rising, and so is the misery index
SoCal summer of hotter nights, broiling beaches
BY ALEX WIGGLESWORTH AND KAREN GARCIA
On paper, Southern California's summer heat has been “pretty typical,” in the words of Mike Wofford, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
So why do so many people swear this summer has felt so unusually oppressive?
Experts point to several factors to explain the summer discomfort. Nighttime temperatures remain stubbornly high. And it's been broiling along the coast, which typically offers a cooler respite from the heat.
“It’s been an extraordinarily, arguably record-breakingly, warm summer at night,” said climate scientist Daniel Swain, “but not so much in terms of the hottest daytime temperatures, which is what everybody always talks about in terms of how hot it’s been.”
Don't expect any relief this week.
Southern California is staring down its hottest week of the year yet, with temperatures expected to rival daily records in downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Monica and Burbank, according to the National Weather Service.
The latest heat wave continues what's proving to be a sweltering summer globally as temperatures rise because of climate change, with last month tying 2024 as the warmest July since record-keeping began in 1850, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Experts said they are not surprised the hot conditions are taking a toll.
Hotter nights can prolong the stress that heat places on the human body by depriving people of a chance to recover, increasing the risk of heat-related illness. Such conditions also put more strain on animals, plants and infrastructure.
Many parts of the U.S. are seeing overnight temperatures warming faster than daytime maximum temperatures, which appears to have become a hallmark of climate change in some regions, said Swain, an [See Heat, A6]

Nevada sues U.S. over plan for water
More legal action is likely over proposed cuts due to Colorado River shortages.
BY IAN JAMES
In the first salvo of what could become a prolonged court battle over Colorado River water, the state of Nevada has sued the Trump administration over its plan to impose major water cutbacks on Las Vegas.
The state filed the lawsuit three days after the Trump administration released the plan requiring Nevada, Arizona and California to cut water use by about 20% for the next two years. The plan allows for much larger mandatory cuts over the next decade if necessary to prevent the river's drought-depleted reservoirs from reaching critically low levels.

State justices question his authority to take 600,000 ballots after the Prop. 50 election.
BY SONJA SHARP
California Supreme Court justices hammered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco over his seizure of more than 600,000 Proposition 50 ballots in a pair of back-to-back hearings on Monday, appearing poised to order the ballots returned and sharply limit the sheriff's power to snatch similar election materials in the future.
Bianco, a Republican who came in fourth in this spring's crowded California gubernatorial primary, carted off truckloads of ballots from the Riverside County Registrar of Voters in February, after securing a warrant based on claims that the office allowed fraudulent votes in the special election to redraw California's congressional districts last fall.
According to a sworn declaration by one of Bianco's sergeants, armed deputies from Riverside County's Special Investigations Bureau, Emergency
Response Team and SWAT unit were sent to sweep up pallets of sealed votes and bring them to the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Station on Feb. 26 — a day after California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber ordered Bianco to stand down.
In the days that followed, deputies began their own ad hoc recount — an activity they'd never been trained for, and which state officials and civil liberties groups say flies in the face of the plain language of the state's election law that says “in no event shall ballots be moved.”
Voters sued. So did Bonta. In oral arguments on both cases Monday morning, California's seven Supreme Court justices appeared at times flabbergasted by claims that the move was not only permitted but blessed under state law — and that California's top cop had no power to block it.
"I'm just wondering ... why didn't the sheriff's office contemplate the available routes under the elections code for resolving the alleged disparity?" asked Associate Justice Goodwin H. Liu. "Isn't there a procedure for resolving this?"

Trump allowed to plan for new mail ballot rules
But Supreme Court doesn't permit changes to be adopted yet. Bonta vows to sue.
BY DAVID G. SAVAGE AND KEVIN RECTOR
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for President Trump to continue seeking new limits on the use of mail ballots, though their implementation remains in dispute as the November election rapidly approaches.
California leaders immediately noted the limits of the high court ruling and said they would file a lawsuit to prevent Trump's desired changes from taking effect.
"The Supreme Court just let the Trump administration move ahead (for now) with its plan to disenfranchise voters across the country. California will be suing AGAIN to block these Orwellian rules from being implemented," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
Acting by a 6-3 vote, the court's conservatives granted an emergency appeal from Trump's lawyers and set aside a lower judge's order that blocked federal agencies — including the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Postal Service — from advancing new federal regulations on states and their use of mail ballots.
Trump called for those regulations in a March executive order directing Homeland Security to compile its own lists of eligible citizen voters in each state and the postal service to restrict its processing of mail ballots to those submitted by individuals on those Homeland Security lists.
The high court's ruling allows those agencies to move forward with their work to comply with Trump's order but reaches no conclusions as to the legality of those pending rules.
"The Court's disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell," the high court wrote.
The unsigned order spoke for the six Republican appointees. The three liberals, all Democratic appointees, dissented in two separate opinions.
California officials stressed that the court's rul-[See Voting rules, A6]
Bonta pulls out of Paramount talks
He says firm leaked information ahead of mediation to resolve Warner merger suit.
BY MEG JAMES
California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta abruptly pulled out of a planned mediation session Monday to seek a resolution to the antitrust lawsuit that has stalled Paramount Skydance's blockbuster \$111-billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Bonta, in a statement, accused Paramount of leaking and misrepresenting information the two sides had discussed during a preliminary session Friday. He said Paramount was “playing games.”
Representatives of Bonta and Paramount Skydance came together late last week to set ground rules for Monday's meeting, which was to involve Paramount Skydance Chief Executive David Ellison.
One of the rules had been confidentiality of the mediation process. But, over the weekend, a stream of news stories contained information about the proposed summit.
Late Sunday, the Wall Street Journal published deal points that it said Bonta was preparing to offer Paramount in exchange for dropping his lawsuit. Terms included asking the company to sell some basic cable TV channels because the merged entity would control more than 50, including CNN, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, HGTV and MTV.
Bonta also was going to call for keeping the Warner Bros. film studio separate from Paramount Pictures — which would be a nonstarter for Ellison, who wants to create a Hollywood super-studio.
"Not only did Paramount leak the alleged substance of the settlement discussions, but they misrepresented these discussions, demonstrating a lack of good faith," Bonta said Monday, noting: "I have pulled down this meeting."

Europe helps Ukraine celebrate independence

BY SAMYA KULLAB
KYIV, Ukraine — European leaders joined President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Monday for celebrations marking the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence Day as Russia pressed on with its four-year-old invasion of the country.
One of President Vladimir Putin's key goals in starting a war with Russia's neighbor in February 2022 was to place Kyiv in Moscow's orbit. Ukrainian lawmakers voted on Aug. 24, 1991, to proclaim the country's independence from Moscow, and a nationwide referendum later that year overwhelmingly approved it.
With no significant changes on the front line for months and no apparent progress after more than a year of U.S.-led peace efforts, both countries are locked in a spiral of escalating aerial attacks that are killing civilians and smashing infrastructure.
EU leaders rally around Ukraine
U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham, on his first overseas trip since taking office last month, joined almost a dozen other European leaders, as well as other dignitaries including European Council President Antonio Costa, in Kyiv on Monday.
“For Ukraine, independence is not an abstract idea. We defended it against all odds,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on social media. “In times like these, nations learn how important it is to have allies by your side.”
Burnham was to co-chair a meeting of what has been dubbed the Coalition of the Willing — a group of countries helping Ukraine resist Russia's onslaught, with the leaders of France and Germany expected to join online.
Eastern Europe," Zelensky said, adding that foreign help was vital.
“No nation in a war like this could rely solely on its own weapons,” he said. “No nation could withstand attacks of such intensity without the world’s help.”
Working together on plans for missiles
The visiting leaders brought pledges of further military and financial support. Burnham is expected to announce that his government has agreed to allow defense company MBDA to release classified information relating to British components used in the SCALP long-range missile, according to his office. That would pave the way for France and Ukraine to advance plans for production of the weapon in Ukraine.
SCALP is the French version of the U.K.'s Storm Shadow missile, with both systems incorporating shared French and British technology.
"We all understand that in this Russian war against us — against Ukraine — far more is being decided than the future of Ukraine and
“Ukraine has been Europe’s protector, not a drain on our security, but the front line of keeping Europe safe,” Burnham said in a speech, adding that Kyiv and its partners “must keep up the pressure on Moscow.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin views the plan “extremely negatively.” He accused the U.K. of “taking part in this war” on Kyiv’s side.
Ukraine has leaned heavily on North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries for help fighting Russia's bigger army, although relations with the United States have been cooler under President Trump.
Zelensky said in a speech at Kyiv's St. Sophia Square that the presence of European leaders reflected continental fears about Russia's wider ambitions.

Three teenagers were killed and six children were wounded in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, Russia's children's rights ombudswoman Maria Lvova-Belova said, as Ukraine attacked several warehouses of Ozon, another online retailer, for the third straight day, according to officials and the company.
The company said a large fire raged at an Ozon logistics facility in the suburbs of Krasnodar following the overnight attack.
A drone also hit the grounds of an Ozon logistics center in the southern Russian region of Adygeya, regional Gov. Murat Kumpilov said, although the company said its Adygeya warehouse wasn't damaged.
In all, four Ozon premises appeared to have been targeted.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck the Russian state-owned Kamenetsky Combine defense company in the Rostov region overnight, starting a fire. The plant produces fuel for rockets and missiles, it said.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses overnight intercepted and destroyed 351 Ukrainian drones over eight Russian regions, the Crimean peninsula and the Azov and the Black seas. Moscow illegally annexed Crimea in 2014.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday that the U.K. will help Ukraine make its own long-range missiles by sharing classified technical information for British components.
Burnham, who was in Kyiv alongside other international leaders for Ukraine's Independence Day, said defense firm MBDA will release details on U.K.-made parts for the SCALP missile to Ukraine to help the country assemble the weapons.
However, experts say that won't result in operational missiles soon — or address Ukraine's most pressing needs in its war against Russia's full-scale invasion.
Here's what to know about the missiles and how significant the announcement is for Ukraine.

Arun Dawson, a researcher at the Freeman Air and Space Institute at King's College London, said the news won't help Ukraine through this winter and probably won't start having an effect until next year, at the earliest.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the U.K. of “fanning the flame” of the war on Kyiv’s side — a claim Burnham swiftly dismissed.
The shortfall is particularly serious because the United States and European partners are struggling to expand production.
“What Ukraine needs is protection from Russian ballistic missile attacks,” he said.
“Who started the fire?” Burnham asked reporters Monday.

What a SCALP missile can do, Dawson said, is equip Ukraine with deep strike offensive ability.
Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at London's Royal United Services Institute, noted that Ukrainian development of its own ballistic and cruise missiles will complement the mass of firepower it can launch using drones, which are relatively slow and not that stealthy.
“You can use it to take out the Russian sites from which they are launching these ballistic missiles,” he said.
The missiles gave Ukraine capacity to strike targets in Russia well behind the front lines, as well as in Russian-occupied Crimea.
A weapon like a SCALP missile “has a sophisticated warhead and strikes the target at a velocity that means it can penetrate hardened structures and destroy buried targets in a way a slower drone without such a warhead is unable to do, at present,” Savill said.
The U.K. is also helping Ukraine develop low-cost strike weapons in other ways.
Officials have been working with British defense companies to test a new ground-launched strike system that could hit targets more than 310 miles away while carrying a powerful 496-pound warhead.

A 1.8-TON World War II bomb was defused by a German team in 2017. Thousands of explosives remain.
Europe's wildfires burn through buried bombs from world wars
Some of the weapons lost in historical battlefields explode in the intense heat.
BY SAM McNEIL
ELSENBORN, Belgium — The wildfires burning across Europe this summer have exposed a potentially deadly threat lurking beneath the blackened landscape: rusty bombs and mines from World War I and II that threaten crews responding to the flames.
Some of the weapons have exploded in the intense heat. Blasts have been reported in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, where a bomb-disposal team was dispatched to check a forest threatened by flames near a site of fierce fighting in the Limburg province in 1944.
Fueled by climate change, the fires and explosions show that the continent's "climatic luck" is running out, said Sarah Njeri, a peace and conflict scholar at London's School of Oriental and African Studies. Steady temperatures and predictable rainfall once ensured that most buried weapons stayed dormant.
“Climate change is now doing the work of unburying and reactivating what was previously stable,” Njeri said. Fires can ignite old munitions but can also burn away the scrub and brush that hides them.
This wildfire season was supercharged by heavy rains in January that spurred vegetation growth, which became kindling when the summer heat arrived. Those temperatures, combined with drought conditions, low humidity and stiff winds, offered an ideal environment for fire, according to a study issued last month by the World Weather Attribution group.
Flames chewed up old battlefields
As they advanced, the flames moved over territory that has long been known to hold unexploded weapons, a lethal legacy that lingered long after the guns fell silent.
In a forest in tinder-dry France, a massive wildfire outside the southwestern city of Bordeaux uncovered a cache of what is believed to be World War II-era ammunition.
In the eastern Belgian province of Liege, Gov. Hervé Jamar said “a few sporadic detonations” were recently heard and that emergency services were adapting to account for munitions buried in a fire area. He said no fire crews were in danger, but local media published photos of a firefighter handling a rusted bomb.
During World War II, booby traps, bombs and mines were sprinkled throughout the province's dense peat-bog forest known as the High Fens. In the first four years after Germany's surrender in 1945, the munitions killed six civilians, said Bernard Collard, a local historian who runs the Truschbaum Museum near Belgium's border with Germany that houses a collection of found objects from the war.
"When you go into a forest like this, you are not sure where the explosives are," he said. He remembers his father detonating a found bomb in a quarry.
The fire in the High Fens, which stretches across the border with Germany, is smoldering atop a muchbloodied battlefield where Nazis fought Allied troops. The Battle of the Bulge was fought in and around the High Fens.
The fire is even closer to the sites of two lesser-known skirmishes along Elsenborn Ridge and in the Hurtgen Forest, which lasted 88 days and killed about 33,000 American and 28,000 German troops.
Thousands of calls about explosives
Collard is authorized to scan with a metal detector the former battlefields, now forests, pastures and farmland. He has found mortar shells, machine guns, helmets, cigarette cases, and once, a human skeleton.
“You never know what you might come across, and you shouldn't take it lightly,” Collard said while standing in a field that was once a blood-soaked site. Nearby, blueberry bushes cover old foxholes, trenches and deep craters from artillery fire.
He frequently works with the Belgian demining squad. “It’s part of our history. We live with it,” Collard said.
Unexploded ordnance is even more dangerous around wildfires because heat can trigger the explosives, said Jonas Tepe, a spokesperson for North Rhine-Westphalia, just across the border in Germany.
The Belgian Ministry of Defense said it receives requests from the region about every week to assist in disarming explosives, yet it does not consider the area a “hot spot” compared with elsewhere in Belgium. Such requests are even more common in the west, where farmers in towns such as Ypres — infamous for harrowing trench warfare in World War I — call the annual tilling of the soil “the iron harvest” because it turns up so many war remnants.
Every year across the nation, Belgium's Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Destruction Service responds to more than 3,000 calls and disposes of 200 to 250 tons of munitions left over from both world wars.
Flames are not the only threat
Drought has also helped to lay the past bare by shrinking rivers and lakes to reveal old weapons.
In Slovakia, the Danube River fell and exposed two naval mines that police pulled out of the water and buried in a trench for a controlled demolition. Authorities in Hungary closed Budapest's Margaret Bridge after a bomb dating from World War II emerged at its base in receding water.
As the Rhine dried up, German authorities also found a WWII-era bomb.
Christina Greene, a researcher at the University of Arizona who, with Njeri, wrote an article on Europe's wildfires and unexploded ordnance risk, said “the legacy of war keeps creeping up” because of climate change.
"It's reliving the legacies of war and conflict in a way that we haven't had to deal with in a while in certain places."

Deportees refuse to exit in Liberia
ALEXANDER WIAPLAH Associated Press
A PLANE carrying deportees from the U.S. arrives at an airport near Monrovia, Liberia, on Thursday.
BY MARK BANCHEREAU
DAKAR, Senegal — Six people who were deported by the United States to Liberia last week resisted getting off the plane and instead were sent to Equatorial Guinea, another African nation that signed a third-country deportation agreement with the Trump administration, a person on the plane and a lawyer in contact with the six said Monday.
Under a series of often-secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported thousands of people to two dozen countries that aren't their own as it pushes ahead with its immigration crackdown, advocates say. Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole to indirectly return some asylum seekers to countries they fled.
The group that refused to get off the plane in Liberia on Thursday included four Cuban men, a Brazilian man and a Cameroonian woman, the person and lawyer said.
A Honduran deportee aboard the flight said the group refused to disembark, saying that Liberia was “not their country” and that they would face danger there. They were then separated from the others, he said. He spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals.
He said the other passengers got off in Liberia because they feared officers would force them.
Meredyth Yoon, litigation director for Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta, said the deportees who resisted leaving the plane in Liberia were told they would be returned to the United States but instead were flown to Malabo city in Equatorial Guinea.
"It was a really heart-breaking and chaotic scene when they arrived in Malabo on Thursday," Yoon said.
Some arrived in chains and in extreme distress, she said, including the Cameroonian woman and one of the Cuban men, who Yoon said has a large abdominal growth and uses a colostomy bag that must be drained regularly.
There is no medical staff at the hotel in Equatorial Guinea where the six are being held, alongside about 40 other deported migrants, she added.
Conditions at the hotel have worsened in recent months, Yoon said, with food sometimes withheld and guards accused of threatening, beating and choking some of the migrants.
Equatorial Guinea's government did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Under an opaque \$7.5-million deal with the Trump administration, Equatorial Guinea's all-powerful president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has turned the hotel owned by his family into a prison for asylum seekers deported from the U.S.

Pentagon says it struck drug boat in the eastern Pacific, killing 2
By Bill Barrow
The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out a strike on another vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people accused of trafficking drugs in the first such attack announced in about two months.
The death toll in the nearly yearlong U.S. campaign of bombing boats allegedly trafficking drugs now exceeds 210 after more than 60 strikes off Latin America's Caribbean coast and in the eastern Pacific.
Forces “executed a lethal kinetic strike on a low-profile vessel operating along established narcotrafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific,” U.S. Southern Command said on social media.
As with most of the military's statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea, the Pentagon did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. The strike on Sunday was the first since powerful back-to-back June 24 earthquakes that killed thousands of people in Venezuela.
“We are committed to imposing total systemic friction on narcoterrorists — disrupting their operations, dismantling their leadership, and eliminating cartel terror across the region,” said Gen. Francis Donovan, who leads U.S. Southern Command.
The latest strike comes as the Trump administration pursues deals with allied nations to extend its offensive to land across multiple Latin American countries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a visit to Panama this month that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil. Guatemala denied reaching such a deal.
Ecuador launched similar missions with the U.S. in March.
President Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing “narcoterrorists.”
Critics have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes as well as their effectiveness, in part because the fentanyl behind many fatal overdoses is typically trafficked to the U.S. over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
The strikes, which began in September, have drawn intense scrutiny from some Democratic lawmakers and military legal scholars.
The Pentagon's watchdog said in May that it plans to look into whether the U.S. military followed an established targeting framework when carrying out the strikes. However, the evaluation is focused specifically on what's known as the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle and not on the legality of the strikes, the inspector general's office said.

Denmark's prime minister is tired of unsolicited beauty advice
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COPENHAGEN — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is fed up with getting unsolicited beauty advice.
The 48-year-old wrote Monday on Instagram that she had just returned home from a trip to Ukraine, where she was exposed to air raid sirens in the ongoing war, only to find a message by a plastic surgeon offering to “fix that little spot on your nose.”
"I've lost count of how many messages I've received over the years about my appearance," Frederiksen wrote. "Especially that I have ugly teeth and thin hair. That I have an ugly 'wart' on my nose and well-meaning advice to get some Botox."
The prime minister of the Nordic country posted a screen shot of the plastic surgeon's offer on Instagram but without identifying him.
She also posted her response: "Oh no. I'm happy with my body — I really don't need a male plastic surgeon to have an opinion about it!"
Frederiksen, a Social
Democrat and Denmark's second female prime minister, is now in her third term, making her one of Europe's longest-serving and most experienced leaders. She has led the European Union and NATO member country since mid-2019.
She has pledged to maintain a firm stance against President Trump's ambitions for Greenland, the kingdom's semiautonomous territory, and continue supporting Ukraine against Russia's war of aggression.
On Instagram, Frederiksen stressed that she does not interfere with other people's looks and that "I'm perfectly fine with my body — as it is when you're a woman approaching 50."
She added that “if you’re going to write to me (and you’re more than welcome to), I hope you’ll use your time to talk about something more meaningful. Not my nose.”
The prime minister also said that those unsolicited beauty tips and suggestions made her feel “indignant” and that “today, I’m sending an extra loving thought to all of you who have to put up with the ‘perfect imperfections’ we all walk around with every day.”

U.S. preparing for its largest mass visa revocation ever
The move, which would probably face lawsuits, could affect 200,000 foreigners.
By Matthew Lee
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would probably face legal challenges.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by the Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.
“We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,” said State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
He declined to comment on the number of visas that might be revoked, saying “as the process will be ongoing, the number of revocations remains dynamic and will be done on a rolling basis.”
The revocations would not necessarily result in their immediate deportation, the officials said. Most of those with asylum cases currently pending would be recategorized but would lose their status as business or tourism travelers, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the revocations are not final yet.
Since President Trump took office for his second term last year, his administration has steadily ramped up restrictions on visa applicants — demanding more information about their social media histories, requiring the posting of expensive bonds for the processing of visas, and outright banning the issuance of visas to citizens of certain countries.
In a social media post on Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau called out people who he said try to use tourist and business visas to get into the United States and then apply for asylum.

walks past Marco Rubio.
"People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims," Landau wrote on X. "Asylum isn't supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration law." Landau cited the case of a Colombian citizen who came to the U.S. in 2015 on a tourist visa and then applied for asylum.
B1 visas are generally issued for business trips and B2 visas are generally issued for tourism, family visits or medical care. It was not immediately clear from the documents or the officials how many of these visa holders are seeking or have sought asylum in the United States and would be affected by the revocations.
Current applicants for B1 and B2 visas are asked to affirm that they will not apply for asylum in the United States and prove that they intend to return to their home countries.
In the last 18 months, the State Department has revoked about 175,000 visas for people who have been convicted or accused of crimes ranging from drunk driving to rape and robbery, as well as for people who have spoken out publicly against U.S. policies.
The administration has also moved to crack down on so-called birth tourism, a practice the administration claims is used by foreign pregnant women to come to the United States to give birth so that their child will benefit from birthright citizenship. Trump has tried several times to end birth-right citizenship, but those challenges have been rejected by courts, including the Supreme Court.
The State Department documents obtained by the AP suggest screening of current B1 and B2 visa holders began after the State Department received information about asylum requests from the Citizen and Immigration Service.

Fast-moving Nevada wildfire puts thousands of Reno homes in peril
BY HAVEN DALY AND JOHN SEEWER
RENO — A wildfire that mushroomed over the weekend in the Sierra Nevada foothills spread perilously close to neighborhoods in Reno, forcing authorities to urge more than 90,000 residents to leave their homes.
The out-of-control fire already has burned some homes, but there's concern that shifting winds could push the flames into newly developed and densely packed neighborhoods in Nevada's largest city outside of metro Las Vegas.
Schools across Washoe County were closed Monday because of the evacuations and to keep roads clear for emergency crews. Nevada's governor declared a state of emergency in the county and mobilized the National Guard to help with aerial firefighting and protecting evacuated neighborhoods northwest of downtown Reno.
At a roadblock in one neighborhood, residents expressed frustration Monday that they could not get back into their homes.
"There's no fire here! Why are the National Guard here?" a driver yelled.
Authorities said late Sunday that the Hawk fire had stayed in its footprint and firefighters were extinguishing hot spots while working to keep the fire from jumping a highway and reaching homes and businesses. There was 0% containment.
The fire began Saturday and grew to more than 23 square miles on Sunday. It's the third large wildfire in the rugged terrain north of Reno in the last two weeks — all caused by human activity, according to fire officials. They haven't said whether the Hawk fire was intentionally set or accidental.
At least six people — three first responders and three civilians — have been injured by the fire.
Videos posted on social media showed the smoldering ruins of homes and cars, with only a scorched basketball hoop still standing.
Many residents had little time to evacuate after the fire exploded in size.
"Honestly, I thought it was like in a movie," said Ruby Delatorre, who got back from a concert only to find her home in the evacuation zone. She returned Sunday to walk to her home and get a few more possessions.
"I literally want to cry and go back for all my stuff. I just got what I thought I needed," Delatorre said.
Some who spotted the smoke on Saturday thought it was from another wildfire that has been burning the last two weeks.
Much of Nevada's western edge is under an increased risk of wildfires this week because of high winds and low relative humidity, the National Interagency Fire Center said.
Extremely dry conditions across the western U.S. have sparked a rash of wildfires this summer. Nationwide, there have been more than 50,000 wildfires — the most over the last 10 years covering the same period, according to the national fire center.

Border Patrol arrests father of sailor

LUIS MANUEL AVILES, left, and his son, Joshua, outside their home in Key West, Fla., in 2025.
BY SAFIYAH RIDDLE, AMY TAXIN AND JACK BROOK
When Luis Manuel Aviles was arrested by immigration authorities, his son was entering his ninth month on the USS Abraham Lincoln with the Navy — a vessel that set a U.S. military record for uninterrupted time at sea, stirring concerns about supply shortages and deteriorating mental health among sailors.
Aviles, 48, was arrested after leaving his house to take his car to the mechanic, according to his wife, Argelia Aviles. She said her husband, a handyman in Key West, Fla., has a permit to work in the United States. Originally from Nicaragua, he has lived in the U.S. for 19 years.
"He dedicates himself only to work so he can put food on the table at home. He is a good father. He loves his children with all his soul," said Argelia Aviles, 47.
Aviles' arrest comes as the Trump administration rolls back immigration protections for military families to pursue its mass deporta-

818-985-3900 tion agenda, detaining dozens of parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops.
At least six family members have been deported and one self-deported, the AP found in the first accounting of such detentions, which the government does not track. One spouse, the wife of a U.S. soldier, spent more than a month in federal immigration detention. She was removed from a deportation flight to Brazil after the AP's reporting.
One of the military's most highly advertised immigration benefits is “military parole-in-place,” which allows the spouses, children and parents of active-duty service members and veterans to obtain legal immigration status from within the country. Not everyone qualifies: those who overstayed visas or who already applied for legal status at the border, for example.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Border Patrol agents arrested Luis Aviles on Saturday in Key West and that he will remain in ICE custody while the government seeks to deport him.
“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation's laws,” the department said Sunday, adding that the Trump administration “does not pick and choose which laws to enforce.”
Aviles' son said in a Facebook post that he has been working 12-hour work shifts for more than 250 days without a break on the USS Lincoln, which is heading back to its home port of San Diego after its long deployment in the Middle East. The deployment has raised widespread concerns about the effect on service members who are away from land for long periods, food shortages, and the increasing strain on the ship and its equipment.
The Pentagon referred all questions to the Navy. The Navy didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment Sunday afternoon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously called conditions aboard the Lincoln “completely misrepresented.” President Trump dismissed concerns about conditions aboard the Lincoln as a “fake report.”
Joshua Aviles wrote in his post Saturday that he was still on the Lincoln, “fighting for a country that has given me everything,” when he received a call about his father’s detention Saturday morning.
“This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly treated like a criminal,” he wrote.
Katherine Delgado, 28, Joshua Aviles' sister, said Joshua joined the military in part because he thought it would improve his father's chances of getting citizenship and so he would "no longer be living in fear of being arrested."
She said being apart from Joshua, whom she calls her “best friend,” has been devastating.
"I spent weeks without knowing where he was," Delgado said. Once she heard from him, and was told that he wasn't getting enough food, she said, she has spent hundreds of dollars to send him care packages with food and hygiene products — some of which never arrived. Many families have similarly reported that care packages to sailors aboard the Lincoln have gone undelivered.
Joshua is “supposed to come home soon,” Delgado said. “And he’s gonna come home without his father.”
The son's lengthy deployment has been challenging for Luis Aviles, according to his wife. He told her that he was looking forward to the deployment finally coming to an end. When six months passed and his son didn't come back, Aviles was distraught, she said.
"He was excited," she said. "He wanted to hug his son, as he hadn't seen him for nine months."

What's different? Hotter nights, broiling beaches
VISITORS use umbrellas for shade in Santa Monica. Temperatures have been higher at the coast than usual.
ARWEN CLEMANS Los Angeles Times
[Heat, from A1]
associate researcher at University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Swain looked at Southern California climate data from June 23 to Aug. 23. In terms of average temperatures over that 60-day period, the picture was mixed, he said, with some areas falling in the middle of the pack compared with previous years and others notching notable heat. For instance, Torrance recorded its fourth-warmest period over this time frame, and Los Angeles International Airport its fifth-warmest, he said.
But when examining only average minimum temperatures, the map “looks way more interesting,” with more areas approaching or breaking records, Swain said. By that metric, it’s been the warmest summer on record in Torrance, and the third-warmest at LAX, he said.
"In short, it's been extremely warm at night and only slightly warm in the daytime," he said.
The pattern has persisted across the continental United States this summer but has been especially dramatic in coastal Southern California, Swain said.
Much of that is due to the recent record warmth of the near-shore ocean, as the water temperature essentially sets the floor for how cold it will get at night along the coast, he said.
Warmer ocean temperatures also cause more humid conditions near the coast, Swain said. The dew point, which measures the absolute humidity in the air, has been closer to 70 degrees than 60 for much of the summer, he said. "In some cases I've been seeing dew points above 70 — 72, 73 — that is like Miami-level humidity."
After a gym session on Monday afternoon, Becky Sudbrink hit up the local UPS store in downtown El Segundo to send a package to a friend.
Sporting a blue workout tank top and black shorts, the four-year resident of the community said the heat doesn't really compare to the humidity she's experienced when she lived in Illinois.
But Sudbrink has noticed that the temperatures this summer have pushed her to use the air conditioning more than she would like.
This past week the evenings haven't been too bad, but any warmer and "sleeping wouldn't have been too good or restful," she said.
Multiple factors, rather than just temperature, contribute to a person's thermal burden, or the amount of heat their body carries, said Bharat Venkat, a medical anthropologist and director of the UCLA Heat Lab. Humidity is a critical one — since muggy air can hold less moisture, the sweat on a person's body doesn't evaporate as swiftly, he said.
"Sweating is the most powerful mechanism our body has at its disposal to cool us down," he said.
Although the above-average ocean temperatures near the coast have been primarily due to a months-long marine heat wave, El Niño is now starting to exert an influence, Swain said. That means the warmer, stickier coastal conditions will probably stick around through fall, and probably the first half of winter, he said. In fact, he expects warmer nighttime temperatures to be a signature of El Niño in the coming weeks and months.
In Long Beach, the conditions were compounded by a power outage that affected tens of thousands of customers, which started at 6:40 p.m. on Sunday and halted power for 22,066 customers, according to David Eisenhauer, spokesperson for Southern California Edison.
Around 11 p.m., Sumouni Basu was feeling the “sweltering heat” inside her apartment. Without electricity to run her ceiling fan, she decided to pack up a few things and her cat Loki and

stay with a friend who was in a part of town with power — a place that would be cooler than hers.
“I was pretty uncomfortable,” she said.
“It was right around when the sun was setting, and I have a west-facing window, so it was just really hot,” Basu said.
Without electricity, Basu couldn't access her car from the building garage, an entrance that's powered by electricity, so she walked 15 minutes to her dinner with a friend. On the walk all along Fourth Street, she noticed families sitting on their stoops or porches and generally more people trying to beat the heat outside their homes.
When she returned from dinner, Basu noticed Loki was a little sluggish and she worried how she and her cat would get through the night.
Justices criticize seizure of ballots
Noah Berger Associated Press
RIVERSIDE COUNTY Sheriff Chad Bianco arrives at the California Supreme Court on Monday.
[Bianco, from A1]
“Certainly there are other paths,” said Bianco’s attorney, Bradley W. Hertz.
Hertz, who argued the sheriff's case after Riverside's county counsel largely sided with the plaintiffs, said Bianco simply exercised his legal discretion.
"This wasn't come in with guns blaring and take the documents," Hertz said.
The dispute began over handwritten notes made as part of an experimental program to increase voter confidence in the county's election procedures. That informal tally fell about 46,000 votes short of the official count, prompting accusations of fraud.
She soon realized the blackout affected her building and her street.
Officials contend the discrepancy between the computer count and the paper tally is “a good deed that went punished” — the result of exhausted officials being handed an extra-credit project they couldn’t quite execute.
Bianco and his allies insist the difference is evi-
Both times it was attempted, the hand tally produced a significant undercount, prompting officials to cancel the pilot, Larson said.
"It was a pilot program that the registrar implemented at the request of the public, on top of all their other duties, to do these handwritten logs to try to track 350,000 pieces of mail that come in," said Dale Larson, who represented Riverside County Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco at the hearing.
dence of maleficence, and that criminal law authorizes the sheriff to sidestep the state's detailed election code and the attorney general's sweeping authority to get to the bottom of it.
The justices repeatedly pressed Hertz to explain how the general authority conferred to the sheriff under criminal law could trump the specificity of the state's election rules — a position that would seem to up-end foundational rules of American law.
advisory and did not carry the authority of law.
They also cast doubt on Bianco's “counterintuitive” claim that Bonta's “supervisory” role over the state's elected sheriffs was merely
"It's not just counterintuitive — again, we've said a million times, we've got to just look at the plain language," said Associate Justice Joshua P. Groban. "Nobody would think that's what 'supervised' means, so why should we think that here?"
The court battle has played out with the UCLA Voting Rights Project bringing the suit on behalf of voters, and the Riverside County district attorney's office and the California State Sheriffs' Assn. backing many of Bianco's claims.
But it has also pitted the sheriff against the registrar, who was named as a co-defendant in the UCLA suit despite siding with plaintiffs in all but a narrow subset of its claims.
In court filings, Riverside County Counsel Minh C. Tran co-signed claims that Bonta and the voters had it right, carving out a narrow disagreement over whether Tinoco should have ignored the sealed warrant and faced arrest rather than allow ballots to be taken. They also questioned whether he was obligated to go to court himself to stop the seizure.
UCLA hit back at that claim, saying it was “the responsibility of the registrar to go to jail rather than hand over the ballots.”
“I know that’s strong medicine,” said Chad W. Dunn of the UCLA Voting Rights Project. “The registrar has a duty to announce publicly and get into court immediately, or at least allow the public to get into court immediately to contest the movement of ballots before it occurs.”
The decision looms as the Trump administration has moved to restrict mail-in voting and signaled it could contest results of the upcoming midterms — partisan flash points UCLA urged the court to address.
"This is bound to be repeated again," Dunn said. "These are the public's ballots, that's why the election code is crafted the way it is, so that the public have a right to weigh in."
Former deputy who shot Sonya Massey dies
Sean Grayson was serving a 20-year term for killing the woman in her home.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Sean Grayson, a former Illinois sheriff's deputy whose fatal shooting of Sonya Massey inside her home became a flash point over police use of force, died Sunday while serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Grayson's attorney, Daniel Fultz, confirmed that his client died earlier Sunday but declined to provide any further details.
Grayson, 32, was convicted of second-degree murder in October in the fatal shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman who had reported a possible prowler outside her Springfield-area home. Body camera video of the July 2024 encounter showed Massey crouching in her kitchen and apologizing moments before Grayson shot her in the face.
He was sentenced in January to the maximum 20 years in prison.
Grayson had been diagnosed with colon cancer before Massey's killing, and his attorneys said at his sentencing that the disease had spread to his liver and lungs. In May, only months into his sentence, he sought medical release under an Illinois law for prisoners with terminal illnesses or serious medical conditions. The Illinois Prisoner Review Board denied his request last month.
Video showed Grayson directing Massey to remove a pot of hot water from the stove. As she held the pot, Massey told the deputies, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”
Massey called 911 early on July 6, 2024, to report someone prowling outside her home. Grayson and another Sangamon County sheriff's deputy responded.
Grayson threatened to shoot her, drew his handgun and ordered her to drop the pot. Massey apologized and ducked behind a kitchen counter before Grayson fired three times.
The other deputy, Dawson Farley, testified that he did not consider Massey a threat and drew his weapon only after Grayson did.
Grayson was fired after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder. Jurors convicted him of the lesser charge of second-degree murder after Grayson argued that he feared Massey would throw the hot water at him.
Massey's killing drew national attention and protests and raised questions about how Grayson had moved through several law enforcement agencies before being hired by the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office.
Illinois lawmakers later passed the Sonya Massey Act, requiring law enforcement agencies to more closely review an applicant's previous employment records before hiring an officer.
The Justice Department also opened a civil rights investigation after Massey's death and later reached an agreement with Sangamon County, its sheriff's office and other agencies requiring changes to policing and emergency response. Those changes included additional training for interactions with people with behavioral health disabilities and development of a mobile crisis response program.
High court ruling not final word on subject
[Voting rules, from A1] ing does not allow final implementation of the rules requested by Trump.
California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, who helped lead the coalition of states challenging Trump's order, called the ruling "somewhat disappointing" but "purely procedural" and far from the final word on the issue.
“It doesn’t address the merits. And we think that when the merits are addressed — and we will bring a lawsuit to address the merits of this case — that we will prevail, because the president has zero authority to determine the time, place and manner of elections, and he is through an executive order trying to exert a very significant amount of authority,” Bonta said.
He said the court found the state's lawsuit was not "ripe" to bring because there was no final postal service rule in place implementing new controls on mail ballots. He said the postal service issued a final rule Friday — and "now that the final rule's in place, we'll sue, and we'll start from the beginning."
The 95-page new rule implements parts of Trump's executive order by requiring a new design for mail ballots and the envelopes they go in, as well as procedures for how data are collected from them by the federal government.
Bonta said his office expects to sue again within days. He expects a lower court will block the Trump-ordered changes again, and for that ruling to stand through November. He said if the high court does weigh in again before the midterms, he expects it to acknowledge that the president has no authority to dictate election policy.
Dean Logan, registrar-recorder and county clerk for Los Angeles County, said the issue is far from settled.
"As we approach the issuance of the first ballots for the November General Election, it is important to recognize that these regulations are still subject to active litigation and interpretation," Logan said in a statement to The Times. "In response, we will intensify our voter outreach and educational initiatives to ensure individuals are fully informed and aware of any adjustments to the voting process."
The Supreme Court found in part that the lower-court order blocking the agencies from working toward Trump's order was invalid because that work had yet to cause any harm to the states that sued, including California.
It wrote that Trump's executive order “is internal directive from the President to his subordinates mandating that certain agencies pursue certain policies. It neither requires nor forbids anything of anyone outside the Executive Branch.”
About $30\%$ of the nation's voters — and $80\%$ of Californians — cast their ballots by mail in 2024. Trump, howev er, has long maintained that voting by mail leads to fraud, including voting by noncitizens.
With the court's ruling Monday, Homeland Security may compile state-by-state lists of citizens who are 18 and over and eligible to vote. However, California and other states “are not required to use the Lists,” the court said.
The Trump administration has acknowledged potential law enforcement applications for the lists and warned state election officials across the country that they could face legal consequences if they don't work to ensure that noncitizens aren't able to vote in their elections.
Such warnings from the administration were mentioned by Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissent as evidence of the harm suffered by the states already, and reason for the lower court's ruling halting implementation to hold.
She wrote that the administration has acknowledged that a state's “refusal to consider” the Homeland Security lists “could conceivably, depending on the circumstances, be relevant evidence of an intent to violate, or to facilitate the violation of, the federal laws prohibiting non-citizen voting.”
She also made the limits of the majority's ruling clear.
“Today’s decision does not address whether the President’s attempts to interfere with States’ administration of the November 2026 elections are lawful,” Sotomayor wrote in a dissent joined by Justice Elena Kagan. “Nor does it suggest that the Executive Branch has any constitutional or statutory authority to implement the President’s directives. Instead, today’s decision merely postpones adjudication of those challenges.”
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in her own dissent, also noted the limits of the majority's ruling and criticized it for failing “to explain when, exactly, is the right time to bring a meritorious election-rule claim challenging unconstitutional interference with electoral processes.”
Trump's executive order said it was aimed at “ensuring citizenship verification” in federal elections. California and 22 other Democrat-led states sued a few days later and said Trump sought to use the postal service to impose new restrictions on voting by mail. They also argued the Constitution gives states and Congress the power to regulate elections, not the president.
A federal judge in Boston and the 1st Circuit Court agreed with the challengers and blocked Trump's executive order from taking effect for the November elections.
The case on appeal was Trump vs. California because Bonta was a leader of the Democratic state attorneys who sued.
Nevada sues Trump administration over water

[Nevada, from A1]
GLEN CANYON Dam along the Colorado River in Page, Ariz., at Lake Powell, which along with Lake Mead is at its lowest level in history.
publican, said as he announced the lawsuit Mon- day.
"This isn't about political posturing," Lombardo said. "This is a matter of survival for a community that represents about two-thirds of our state's citizens and the lion's share of its economy."
Colorado River reservoirs have dropped dramatically over the last 26 years as global warming has worsened severe drought. The largest, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, have never been lower.
Nevada leaders said that under the plan, the state's annual allotment of 300,000 acre-feet could be slashed to as little as 86,500, which they said would devastate Las Vegas and surrounding cities.
“That’s simply not a reduction that a major metropolitan area can adjust to,” said John Entsminger, Nevada’s lead negotiator and general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority. “It would have catastrophic effects on our ability to provide a safe, reliable water supply.”
The Las Vegas area gets about 90% of its water from the river. It has already reduced its use by about 40% over the last 25 years by eliminating thirsty grass in many areas and outlawing frontyard lawns for new subdivisions.
"We have clearly demonstrated our ability to adapt and do more with less," Entsminger said. "However, conservation has its limits, and there is just no way to meet even the basic needs of this community with the volume of water Interior has proposed."
The Colorado River provides water for about 35 million people in cities from Denver to San Diego, as well as 30 Native tribes and 5 million acres of farmland. About three-fourths of the water taken from it flows to farms via canals, producing alfalfa for cattle as well as lettuce, broccoli and other crops.
This year, the Rocky Mountains had the least snow on record, and the lack of snowmelt is sinking reservoir levels lower.
Over the last three years, negotiators repeatedly held talks to try to reach a seven-state agreement, but the three downstream states,
California, Arizona and Nevada, deadlocked with the four upstream states.
As part of its plan, the Trump administration accepted an offer by California, Arizona and Nevada to reduce the water they take by 3.2 million acre-feet between now and the end of 2028.
California will cut its Colorado River water use by about 12%, while Arizona will take about 31% less and Nevada 28% less.
The Trump administration is not requiring water cuts for Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Andrea Travnicek, the Interior Department's assistant secretary for water and science, said that's because the federal government has different "responsibilities and authorities" in the upstream and downstream states.
In previous agreements, however, all seven states have contributed, Entsminger said, and the federal plan represents a sharp break with that collaborative approach.
“Everybody that uses water from the Colorado River has a stake in using that water more efficiently, so that we can all get by with less,” Entsminger said. “A plan that focuses on a minority of states ultimately has no chance of success.”
Even as the state goes to court, Entsminger stressed that Nevada is open to negotiating.
In the lawsuit, Nevada argues that the Trump administration's plan violates the National Environmental Policy Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the "Law of the River," and asks the court to halt its implementation. It also alleges the Interior Department failed to account for the severe damage drastic water cuts would inflict on southern Nevada's \$180-billion economy.
Arizona's leaders have raised similar concerns, saying the most draconian cuts under the plan would severely harm their state.
Tom Buschatzke, Arizona's lead negotiator, said last week that the state is "reserving our right to potentially take legal action."
Arizona faces especially large water cutbacks because the Central Arizona Project, the series of canals that run to the Phoenix and Tucson areas, isn't nearly as old as other aqueducts, giving it low-priority water rights and putting it among the first in line for reductions. Much or all of the water Arizona gets via the canal could be cut off under the Trump administration
plan.
Brenda Burman, general manager of the Central Arizona Project, called the federal plan “flawed” and said “every state that relies on the river should be part of the solution.”
Her agency said in a written statement that after 2028, the federal plan would allow for “disproportionate, unlawful, and intolerable cuts on Arizona.”
Nevada's case is likely to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, and the state makes strong claims, though the outcome is hard to predict, said Rhett Larson, a water law professor at Arizona State University.
"The litigation over the Colorado River isn't just about who gets how much water, but about what the U.S. Constitution says about who does or should have the power to make that deci-"
sion," Larson said in an email.
The case will probably take years, he said, and if a court blocks the plan, the states could have to figure out what to do in the meantime.
“Litigation is far from an ideal outcome, and carries a lot of costs, risks, and uncertainties that everyone wants to avoid,” Larson said. “But it has its benefits. When parties are not communicating very well... it’s time for litigation.”
The last time the Supreme Court got involved in a major Colorado River dispute was its landmark 1963 decision in Arizona vs. California.
California uses more Colorado River water than any other state. None of California's water officials have indicated the state is considering suing.
Pressure campaign takes aim at Iran's trading partners
TREASURY Secretary Scott Bessent answers questions after announcing a new set of sanctions against Iran.
CHIP SOMODEVILLA Getty Images
[Iran, from A1] that that will move very quickly and that we are serious."
The pressure campaign will build on a naval blockade and other sanctions the Trump administration has already imposed in its effort to force Tehran into a deal that ends the war on U.S. terms.
Trump's latest economic push against Iran revives a familiar strategy from presidents of both parties, using financial leverage to pressure Tehran toward more serious negotiations over its nuclear program. Sanctions helped bring Iran to the table before a 2015 nuclear deal brokered by President Obama, but the agreement was widely criticized as weak by Republicans. After Trump withdrew from the agreement in his first term, a new “maximum pressure” campaign failed to secure a new deal.
Trump's decision to return to a strategy of economic coercion has signaled to Iran that the fighting phase of the war is probably over, for now, with the U.S. administration choosing a path "neither of war nor of peace," Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's president, said this week.
Iranian officials, who had been anticipating the move, pushed back on Washington's strategy even before Bessent began speaking Monday.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state media over the weekend that the sanctions amounted to a repackaged version of decades-old American pressure tactics that Tehran has already learned to withstand. Esmail Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, warned of "grave consequences" for any countries cooperating with what he said was "illegal behavior" by the United States. And Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran's Supreme Security Council, suggested that the economic pressure could shut down oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, a threat that would ripple through global energy markets.
That defiance underscores the central gamble of Washington's strategy. Rather than aiming sanctions at Iran alone, Bessent's plan to potentially squeeze major economies like China and India over their ties to Tehran could pose a diplomatic risk to the U.S.
The fallout could also reach beyond foreign diplomacy as a hit to global markets also risks compounding Trump's troubles at home ahead of the midterm elections, as Americans grow unhappy with the economy and their support for the conflict in the Middle East plummets. The Iran sanctions also land as the administration wages a separate trade fight with Canada, adding uncertainty to markets.
Whether Washington will be able to apply pressure on Iran's trade partners remains an open question.
China alone shares nearly \$10 billion in bilateral trade with Iran, and paid roughly \$31.2 billion for unreported Iranian crude oil imports in 2025, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. That makes China the largest buyer of Iranian crude oil by a wide margin, accounting for more than 90% of Iran's oil exports, according to the commission.
It is unclear whether Trump has spoken to China's leader, Xi Jinping, about the sanctions. But the two leaders are set to meet in Washington next month, adding to the diplomatic dynamics of the moment.
Other trading partners have already made some moves.
The UAE said last week that it was suspending trade with Iran, a decision that followed accusations that Tehran had fired two ballistic missiles at the Emirates.
Afra Al Hameli, a spokesperson for the Emirati Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a post on Aug. 18 on X that all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran have been halted until further notice. She added that the Emirates was “firmly committed to safeguarding the integrity of the international financial system."
Bessent said Monday that he expects other countries will “take similar actions as we continue our engagement.”
In an opinion article written for the Financial Times last week, Bessent has cast the new measures as the “single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary.”
Bessent wrote that countries that “sever Iran’s remaining financial and commercial connectivity” will see their economies reinvigorated, and those who don’t will experience the end of their “lasting prosperity.”
“Any nation that serves as a financial artery of a withering regime should expect to share in its isolation,”
he wrote. “To become a sanctuary for terror is to become, in the eyes of the United States, a global pariah.”
Ahead of the announcement Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran was “completely collapsing.”
Meanwhile, Iran's central bank governor, Abdolnaser Hemmati, said the U.S. had already done all that it can against Iran and that the central bank had been shoring up its foreign currency reserves for months. Last week, he said Iran's crude exports had "virtually stopped."
"[The Americans] have done everything, so what else can they do?" he said in an interview with Tasnim News.
Despite his assurances that the central bank was working on preventing a devaluation of the Iranian rial, the currency has struggled to remain above a black market exchange rate of 2 million per dollar — a record low. The Central Bank rate stands at roughly 1.5 million rial to the dollar.
Though experts question the effectiveness of additional economic pressure on Tehran, Bessent's threat to target Iran's trading partners — especially the UAE, China and Turkey, who together comprise almost three-quarters of Iran's foreign imports — will undoubtedly be painful for Iranians.
For example, Iran uses the UAE as a reexport hub and buffer, and receives vehicle spare parts from China, according to the Observatory for Economic Complexity. Iranian economic experts say both the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors also rely on imports from countries such as Brazil and Turkey.

Grants deemed ‘discriminatory’ by the White House are cut, forcing community colleges, CSUs to reduce student support
Moorpark College no longer offers specialized counseling for Latino students pursuing a science degree.
By Michael Burke
Cal State Bakersfield, for the first time in years, won't hold a multiday orientation ahead of the fall term for community college transfer students.
And the Central Valley's West Hills Community College District this year terminated two initiatives to deliver education to adults without a high school diploma.
Across California, colleges and universities are cutting and closing down programs and services previously funded by federal grants for Hispanic-Serving Institutions, commonly called HSIs. Those were among the first higher-education grants to be axed since Trump took office last year after the administration declared those programs discriminatory and refused to fund them.
Earlier this year, some colleges were hopeful that new grant money would become available, after the federal budget maintained funding for the programs that support HSIs and other Minority Serving-Institutions, said Marybeth Gasman, executive director of the Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions.
But optimism dissipated in recent months, and many colleges have been forced to eliminate or scale back programming as students return to campuses for the new academic year.
Even though funding was included in the budget deal, the grant program is discretionary. That means it's up to the Trump administration to decide whether to allocate new grants, and the Department of Education has made no indication that it plans to do so.
Congress created the HSI designation in 1992 to expand access to higher education for Latino students, and the first grants were allocated in 1995. Supporters say the grants have benefited colleges with high numbers of low-income and Latino students, funding programs such as dual enrollment, counseling services and initiatives to expand access to STEM fields.
To be eligible for the HSI designation, a college must have an undergraduate enrollment of 25% Latino students. Once designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution, colleges historically have been able to apply for Title III and Title V federal grants.
California has 167 HSIs, by far the most of any state. The cuts in particular affect the state's community colleges, where 107 of 116 campuses are HSIs, and California State University, where 21 of 22 campuses are HSIs. Within the last year, community colleges have lost at least \$20 million and CSU campuses an estimated \$43 million from the grant cuts.
Nationally, colleges and universities lost \$507.9 million in HSI funding, according to Gasman's center.
"I think people did have hope that possibly something would be done, and then the money would kind of come back, but we really haven't seen that yet," Gasman said.
Supporting students who are low-income, Latino
Carlos Pineda, 63, emigrated from El Salvador to California in 1990 and enrolled at Santa Monica College, where he found it difficult to navigate college. He ended up enrolling in classes he didn't need, including a chemistry course, wasting his time and money.
"As an immigrant, you don't quite understand how to navigate the college system. There are many terms, many protocols, procedures that a regular student from high school might find easy," he said.
Pineda didn't finish his degree at Santa Monica. He eventually moved to Simi Valley and gave college another try in fall 2023, when he enrolled as a part-time student at Moorpark College in Ventura County.
This time, Pineda's experience was much different, which he credits to his participation in STEM Impacto. That program, funded by an HSI grant, assisted low-income or Latino students interested in a degree in biotechnology, biology or computer network systems engineering.
Through the program, he met with a peer mentor and had immediate access to counselors, who helped Pineda enroll in the right classes. He also received a \$750 stipend each semester, which Pineda typically used to pay for gasoline to commute to campus.
Pineda is on track to finish his associate degree this semester, but he'll have to do it without the support of the Impacto program, which ended in the spring because its grant expired.
About 60 students participated in the program in any given year, and they had higher retention and graduation rates than their peers, said Julius Sokenu, president of Moorpark College.
"We were hoping we could apply for another grant and continue all the wonderful things that we've been able to do, but it is no longer available to us," Sokenu said
'And then the hammer came down'
For the last three years, students transferring to Cal State Bakersfield benefited from an extended orientation in August. Students participating in the three- to five-day program got an in-depth tour of the campus, met with student support staff and faculty, and took an accelerated writing course to meet a general education requirement. The program was open to all transfer students, not just Latinos.
The program was useful to Darci Ross-Smith, who transferred from Bakersfield College in 2024. Ross-Smith was homeschooled through high school and said the program was a “good bridge for me to understand” how to navigate a university.
Ross-Smith, an English major, also benefited from meeting with English department faculty during the orientation, developing a close relationship with the department chair. They eventually worked together on a research project that Ross-Smith presented at a CSU symposium.
"It felt like I started almost a semester ahead," said Ross-Smith, who is now pursuing a master's degree in library and information science at San José State.
The program was scheduled to host another incoming class of transfer students with an orientation this month, but the HSI grant supporting it was abruptly canceled, said Kris Grappendorf, faculty director of academic systems and director of the transfer program.
“We were getting really good feedback and figuring out the right programming, and then the hammer came down, and that was really disappointing,” she said.
Keeping some programs afloat amid reductions
Not every program in the state funded by an HSI grant has been forced to shut down. Some colleges and districts have found other ways to fund their programs, at least in the short term.
The San Diego Community College District, for example, reallocated money from elsewhere in its budget to continue three initiatives, previously funded by HSI and MSI grants, supporting STEM students and students who are Asian American, Native American or Pacific Islander.
Whether those programs continue in the long term could depend on whether the state provides additional support, said Greg Smith, chancellor of the district. Smith noted that this year's state budget deal already included \$147 million for a student support block grant, divided among the state's community colleges. Those dollars can be used at each district's discretion.
Chris Ferguson, executive vice chancellor of finance and strategic initiatives for California Community Colleges, said several colleges that lost HSI grants have been able to find funding to maintain their programs.
He acknowledged, however, that the state chancellor's office hasn't done a full accounting and said he has “no doubt that there are districts that have opted to make different decisions, just based upon their risk tolerance or their resource levels.”

Iran war takes toll on children's education
Rising costs and other ripple effects threaten to push millions out of school worldwide.
BY ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL, SOPHENG CHEANG AND ANTON L. DELGADO
KAMPONG PRAHOK, Cambodia — Unlike the outright school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iran war's effect on education is less visible — but it is falling first and hardest on the poorest families around the world.
Soaring fuel prices are making it more expensive for children and teachers to get to school, and for many governments to fund education as national budgets come under strain.
If the war continues, it could push up to 23.4 million more children into poverty by the end of the year, according to a recent United Nations Children's Fund report. About 80% of those children would be in Africa and Asia.
For families already living on the edge, the war's ripple effects are forcing difficult choices: whether to pay for food, fuel, rent and electricity, or keep every child in school.
"The Iran war is likely going to force millions of children out of school and could force millions of children to make the decision not to enroll in the first place," said Sabrina Hervey of the Qatar-based Education Above All Foundation.
Some children in South-east Asia are dropping out of school to work.
Ly, 16, and her sister Nhi, 13, two of nine children from a fishing family on Vietnam's rocky northern coast, have long drifted in and out of school as the family struggled to make ends meet. They are identified by their first names only because of Vietnamese laws protecting vulnerable minors.
Their father lost his fishing job after the war pushed diesel prices so high that boat owners could not afford to go out to sea. Already burdened by debt, the family was surviving on his odd jobs. It wasn't enough to keep all nine children fed and in school.
The girls dropped out of school and moved to Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, to work long hours in a restaurant, where they were exposed to sharp tools, hot surfaces and heavy lifting.
For 13-year-old Nhi, it also was illegal because of child labor laws.
In April, the Hanoi-based nonprofit Blue Dragon Children's Foundation intervened, and the two returned to school.
The war's effect has unfolded slowly but is devastating, the foundation's Michael Brosowski said.
When families reach a financial breaking point, they tend to go into triage — keeping some children enrolled while pulling others out to work, he said. The children not in school are far more vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking and homelessness.
“It’s the tipping point for a lot of families,” Brosowski said.
Higher fuel prices are driving up costs of nearly every part of education, from getting students and teachers to school to stocking classrooms with pencils and chalk. It's more expensive for teachers and aid workers to reach remote communities. Governments also are grappling with rising food and energy bills, leaving less money for education.
ANTON L. DELGADO Associated Press
A TEACHER addresses students at a school in one of the floating villages of Cambodia's Tonle Sap lake.
The war is threatening years of progress in education and poverty reduction in Bangladesh, whose economy already was under strain.
Developing countries reliant on imported energy have been the most exposed to disruptions from the war. Rising fertilizer costs and falling remittances also are straining these smaller economies.
Pressure on the government's finances, driven by rising costs for fuel and subsidies, could leave it with less money to spend on healthcare and education, warned a report by the United Nations Development Program.
In some South Asian nations, girls are likely to be affected more because families tend to prioritize sons, said Arshad Malik of the nonprofit Save the Children International. Economic hardships could mean more girls dropping out of school and an increase in child marriages, he said.
South Asia accounts for 45% of the world's child brides, the highest share of any region, according to UNICEF.
More than 466 million children worldwide receive at least one meal a day at school, according to the U.N. World Food Program. These meals help keep children in school, improve their ability to learn and concentrate, and support healthy brain development.
Such programs also could come under pressure as the conflict disrupts fertilizer shipments and raises transportation costs, especially in countries in West and Central Africa that rely heavily on imported food, said Hervey of Education Above All.
Across northern Nigeria, it is becoming more common for children to relapse into malnutrition, according to local health and aid workers.
"I'm really afraid to see what's going to happen," Hervey said.

Postproduction workers seek new tax credit
California lawmakers are weighing a bill aimed at bringing such jobs back to the state.
BY CERYS DAVIES
For 45 years, Alyson Dee Moore made the sounds that movies needed — the footsteps, the rustling clothes and doors swinging shut.
This year, for the first time, the Foley artist who worked on blockbuster movies such as “Frozen,” “Interstellar” and “The Dark Knight” did not have enough hours to qualify for her union healthcare. She retired from her job at Warner Bros., where she has worked for 27 years.
"My decision to retire was out of need versus out of wanting to," said Dee Moore, 65. "I didn't have any income coming in, so at least I could get my pension from the union and my healthcare and collect Social Security."
Dee Moore, a member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild for 21 years, is one of thousands of California workers on the back end of film and television production — sound mixers, composers, visual effects artists — watching their corner of the industry hollow out. As Hollywood productions chase tax credits to other states and countries, the postproduction work is going with them.
Now the industry is asking Sacramento for a credit of its own. Assembly Bill 2319, written by Assemblymember Nick Schultz (D-Burbank), would create a tax incentive aimed specifically at postproduction work. It cleared the Senate's appropriations committee this month and heads to a full Senate vote. Its backers are seeking \$100 million in annual funding. The bill would allow a 35% to 50% credit on qualified expenses relating specifically to postproduction work in California.
Most Foley work, Dee Moore said, has moved to nonunion studios and overseas.
"[Warner Bros.] out-sources their Foley television fully; their feature [films] are not done on the lot," she said. "We did do 'Sinners,' but that was like the last big film we did. I didn't really see them keeping things on the lot."
The numbers track her experience. The state's share of U.S. postproduction jobs has dropped from $53\%$ to $42\%$ over the last 13 years, according to CVL Economics, whose founder helped start the trade group sponsoring the bill. California generated about 12,000 post-production jobs last year.
AB 2319 is sponsored by the California Post Alliance and the Motion Picture Editors Guild, IATSE Local 700. Its advocates acknowledge that the timing is difficult.
"The truth is that it is a difficult year for a budget request because of things that are happening at a federal level. It's putting a lot of pressure on the state budget," said Marielle Abaunza, the president of the alliance. "We've been really trying to illustrate that this tax incentive is not a burden on the state. It's an investment."
The contraction isn't just reaching workers at the end of long careers.
Austin Scott moved to Los Angeles from Florida in 2004 with dreams of acting. He soon found work editing reality TV shows such as "Master Chef," "Dancing With the Stars" and "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City." During the height of his career, he earned between \$160,000 and \$250,000 a year. But in the last three years, the Altadena resident hasn't been able to find a steady job in postproduction. He now works as a muralist and is making less than \$50,000 annually.
“This is where [the industry] always has been, and always I thought it would be. But now the big question in the air is whether this is even a viable industry to work in anymore,” said Scott, 41. “This is the worst it’s ever been by far.”
The work is going to the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada, said Adam Fowler, an economist and founding member of the alliance. The U.S. competes at a disadvantage because it has no federal film and TV incentives, he said.
“It’s essential right now to stop the bleeding because there’s been a lot of transition and a lot of really aggressive policy changes around the globe that have really displaced a lot of workers in California, and without other solutions handy, we know this one works,” Fowler said. “It incentivizes the activity.”
Schultz said the appeal of a postproduction credit is that it does not require the project to shoot in the state.
"You're going to have some content that is produced elsewhere, whether it's because of tax incentives elsewhere, or stylistic or artistic choices that are made in terms of” shooting locations, Schultz said. “But we can still bring the sound mixing, the editing, the scoring, the visual effects — all of those incredible job opportunities to California.”
Whether that money will buy new jobs or subsidize existing ones is the open question, said Patrick Button, a film and TV tax incentives skeptic and professor of economics at Tulane University.
"There's going to be a lot of cases where the postproduction was going to happen in California anyway. But now they can just take advantage of the tax credit," Button said. "Now that would maybe incentivize them to spend a little bit more on postproduction and maybe hire an extra person or so. But generally that's not going to change economic behavior."
A credit aimed narrowly at postproduction work currently being done elsewhere would be more effective, Button said.
California expanded its film and TV tax credit program last year, more than doubling the old \$330-million cap to \$750 million through June 30, 2030. That program also applies to postproduction, but only if 75% of filming or the overall budget is spent in the state. There is currently no standalone carve-out for postproduction work alone.
Dee Moore, for her part, is still hopeful that the work eventually will return.
"It will come back because of the history. You have so much talent here, and I'm hoping that that's really what it comes back to," she said. "The pendulum swung the other way to budget versus talent, and there's a middle ground to be found where you can still have the talent and the budget."
The story behind ‘Grand Theft Auto’ leaks
LEON NEAL Getty Images
THE LOGO of the game's latest version is shown.
BY CERYS DAVIES
In the video game world, it's one of the biggest releases of 2026.
For years, fans have been eagerly awaiting the sixth installment to the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise.
But the much-anticipated release of the game has been disrupted by a flurry of leaked scenes — such as a plane flying over a metropolis and the interior of a strip club — that has flooded the internet in the last week without the consent of its publisher, Rockstar Games.
Rockstar has not confirmed the videos' authenticity, but its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is taking action. The New York-based company late last week issued subpoenas to Microsoft, Discord, X and Google to track down the alleged hackers.
The requests were filed in New York's Southern District Court under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The filings involve the unauthorized use of copyrighted material such as “audiovisual content, artwork, images, dialogue, or other creative elements” from proprietary software owned by Take-Two, according to the documents.
Take Two is asking for identifying information associated with the online profiles and activity tied to the leaks, which have generated considerable buzz in the gaming world.
Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar did not respond to a request for comment. Here's what to know:
The online persona Cyberleek appears to be closely associated with the ongoing leaks, according to court documents. The hackers claim to be leaking these gameplays as a protest and have a list of demands, which include a physical disc of the game, which Rockstar previously said it would not release. The other demands include no paywalled solo player content and full offline access.
“Publishers sell licenses and call them purchases. They ship unfinished games and call them living services,” wrote Cyberleek on its website. “They lock content on discs and call it DLC. They kill games and keep the money. Every year anti-consumerism tightens its grip, and every year gamers get less for what they pay.”
The group also claims to have a playable build of the game and asks users for cryptocurrency donations.
What does this mean for the game?
The first “Grand Theft Auto” was released in 1997 by BMG Interactive. Before it was even released, the action-adventure game was met with a wave of controversy, as the game was centered on illegal activities such as stealing cars and running people over.
The game started to gain real traction in the early 2000s, when Rockstar took over its development. Rockstar is based in New York and maintains offices in Santa Monica and San Diego. The “Grand Theft Auto” franchise remains its hallmark title and continues to grow a loyal fan base.
The new release of "Grand Theft Auto VI" is slated for Nov. 19 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It marks the first major release in the franchise since 2013. The standard version will cost \$79.99, while the ultimate version will cost \$99.99.
These leaks, which include several maps, video from a gas station and a car wash, come just days before the game is set to have an exclusive preview on Netflix. On Thursday, Rockstar and the media giant are set to share an exclusive extended look at the game on the streaming platform.
So will the leaks hurt its sales?
That's hard to say. Investors appear to be nervous about the potential effect on the company's business. Since the leaks first started to pop up last week, Take-Two's stock has continued to plummet. On Monday, the stock closed at \$233, down 10% over the last five days.
Although investors appear uneasy about the leak, some analysts don't think it will hurt sales of the game.
“This game is gonna crush every record ever,” said Michael Pachter, a video game industry analyst. “This game could sell 10 million units in the first minute. I think it could do 20 million in the first day and a half.”
Are game industry leaks common?
Unauthorized leaks aren't as commons as they are in the music and movie industries, but they do occur. In the last few years, several games and sensitive information have been leaked. One of the largest instances was in 2023 when developer Insomniac Games was targeted for data surrounding the upcoming “Marvel Wolverine” game.
But it's rare for hackers to get a hold of a playable version of the game, which might have happened in the "Grand Theft Auto" incident, said Sanjay Madhav, a USC technology professor.
"If you compare it to something like a movie being leaked, that's a little bit different because presumably if you watch the whole movie, you're not really compelled to watch it again," Madhav said. "But I think in this case, unless they release the playable build for other people to download, I don't think that it's going to have a noticeable impact on their sales."
Compagno is joining Fox News' 'The Five'
BY STEPHEN BATTAGLIO
Fox News co-host Emily Compagno is jumping from the network's daytime chatfest "Outnumbered" to join "The Five," the most-watched program on cable news.
The conservative-leaning news network announced Monday that Compagno will fill the seat vacated last year by Jeanine Pirro, who left “The Five” in May to join the Trump administration as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia before her Senate confirmation three months later.
Compagno will be on daily starting Sept. 8 alongside fellow co-hosts Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Jesse Watters. Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr. rotate their appearances in the lone liberal seat on the program.
“Emily is a highly accomplished host whose energy and talent have made her a standout across FOX News Media, and we are thrilled to officially welcome her to the show,” Fox News Media Chief Executive Suzanne Scott said in a statement.
Compagno's chair on "Outnumbered" will have guest co-hosts after she departs the program.
"The Five" has been a ratings juggernaut for Fox News in recent years, scoring audience levels that rival live viewing for hit broadcast network shows. In the second quarter of this year, "The Five" averaged 3.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen, capturing more than $64\%$ of the cable news viewing audience in the 5 p.m. Eastern hour.

Accusations fly over Paramount mediation talks
[Bonta, from A1]
Paramount denied that it was leaking information.
"As we have assured the Attorney General's office, Paramount has not been the source of the leaks of any of our confidential discussions with the AG's office," Paramount said in a statement. "We remain hopeful and stand ready to continue good faith discussions to resolve the Attorneys General suit and move forward with our plans for increased competition and increased output to the benefit of the talent and entertainment workers."
No other talks have been scheduled.
The fight with Bonta has grown increasingly ugly after Ellison threatened to pull Paramount — a fixture on Melrose Avenue — out of California. Tennessee has been wooing Paramount after Ellison's father, Larry Ellison, announced two years ago that he would move his software behemoth Oracle to Nashville.
Several prominent Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Xavier Becerra, the Democratic Party's nominee for governor, have called on the two sides to settle the lawsuit rather than go to trial in spring.
By Monday, Bonta was facing criticism among some advocacy groups for allegedly failing to protect Hollywood's Jewish leaders from antisemitism.
Bonta didn't entirely close the door on mediation, which had been ordered by the judge in the antitrust case.
"As soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages sincerely, my office is happy to meet again," he said.
Tensions crackled after Paramount on Friday went after actor Mark Ruffalo — a prominent critic of the deal — to accuse him of injecting “antisemitic tropes” into his campaign to derail the industry-reshaping deal.
Leaders of prominent Jewish organizations, including the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League, quickly came to Paramount's defense, scolding the Emmy-winning actor best known for playing the Hulk and for being an outspoken political progressive.
Ruffalo had recirculated a two-year-old video clip of Safra Catz, Oracle's former chief executive and a current Paramount board member. During an Israeli-American Council National Summit conference, she said she couldn't discuss Oracle's work with Israel's military, but "we have some profoundly scary technology at Oracle and we wanted to make sure that it was available" to Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks led by Hamas militants.
Ruffalo, in his post, described the war in Gaza as a “genocide” that “was built on an apartheid system of oppression powered by Oracle.”
Paramount said: “Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren't just wrong—they're a bridge too far."
Mark Goldfeder, head of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, lashed out at Bonta on Sunday and suggested California's top law enforcement official was doing Ruffalo's bidding by filing the antitrust lawsuit against Paramount and Warner Bros.
"Your friend @MarkRuffalo said the quiet part out loud. His campaign against the Jewish Ellisons is about Israel, ‘genocide,’ and ‘apartheid,’” Goldfeder wrote in a message on X directed at Bonta.
“Did you hear that too before you sued?” Goldfeder asked Bonta — a reference to a Feb. 27 message by the state attorney general, who at the time was responding to Ruffalo’s dismay after Paramount won the bidding war for Warner Bros., besting Netflix.
In that nearly six-month-old post, Bonta wrote on X: "Mark, I hear you. I'm in conversation with my AG colleagues about Paramount/Warner Bros. As the epicenter of the entertainment industry, California has a special interest in protecting competition."
Bonta and 11 other state attorneys general went on to sue, claiming Ellison's merger violates U.S. antitrust law.
By Monday, some Jewish leaders questioned Bonta's commitment to fighting antisemitism — or protecting Hollywood's Jewish leaders, including the Ellisons.
"Attorney General Bonta told Mark Ruffalo that he hears him and said California has a 'special interest in protecting competition' because we are the epicenter of the entertainment industry," Rabbi Noah Farkas, president and chief executive of the Jewish Federation Los Angeles, said in a statement.
“We agree that California has a special obligation to protect Hollywood, but not only from anticompetitive conduct. It must also protect the people who power this industry from antisemitism and every form of hate,” Farkas said.
The rabbi added that Bonta's "record with Jewish Californians remains mixed."
“In some important moments, he has failed to stand up with the clarity and urgency our community deserved,” Farkas said. “This is why it is so important that Bonta clarify what ‘Mark, I hear you’ means. Hearing legitimate antitrust concerns cannot mean excusing rhetoric that invokes age-old tropes about Jewish wealth, media control and sinister power.”
Bonta's office declined to
comment on the claims.
Ruffalo defended himself over the weekend.
"The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest," Ruffalo wrote on X. "Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people."
It's unclear when the mediation sessions between the state attorneys general and Ellison will be rescheduled. The judge in the case has scheduled a hearing in late September.
"As I have said before, generally for all cases, I prefer to resolve disputes in the boardroom, not the courtroom," Bonta said in his statement. "As I've also said, if the opposing party in litigation wants to meet in good faith to make a sincere effort to resolve the case, we'll meet."

The new levies are expected to affect about 5% of Canada's annual exports to the U.S., roughly \$20 billion in goods as varied as hockey sticks and agricultural products. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney quickly promised Saturday that his government would roll out "dollar for dollar" retaliatory measures starting Sept. 8.
No further talks are scheduled. The latest escalation between the two countries — which once held one of the world's most durable trade alliances — plunges them deeper into a trade war that has kept both sides of the border on edge throughout Trump's second term in office. Experts warn that steeper tariffs raise costs for businesses and almost always trickle down to households in the form of higher prices.
“Nearly all industries and professions are likely to see downstream effects from this spiraling trade dispute,” said Augustine Lo of the law firm Dorsey & Whitney, whose work includes advising clients on foreign trade.
Affected goods
Here's what we know.
Canada sends the vast majority of its exported goods to the U.S. (72% last year), and the Trump administration says the new 50% import taxes will be levied on products including wine and cement. The list is long, and the White House and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative estimate it amounts to about \$20 billion in trade annually.
According to documents published by the White House, other goods subject to the tax include honey, seeds and agricultural products — as well as select makeup, perfumes, clothing, jewelry, furniture, cameras, fabric and more.
The 50% levy also applies to some products that were previously protected under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade pact from Trump's first term. That marks a shift from past levies — and further underscores questions about the future of the USMCA overall.
Basis for tariffs
To impose these tariffs, Trump reached back to a long-dormant Great Depression-era law: Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
When the U.S. and world economies were in collapse nearly a century ago, Congress passed the 1930 law as part of the Smoot-Hawley legislation, named after its congressional sponsors. The act raised tariffs more generally across the board and became notorious among economists for limiting world commerce and making the Great Depression worse. But Section 338 — which authorizes the president to impose taxes of up to 50% on imports from countries deemed to have discriminated against U.S. businesses — has never been used to raise tariffs until now.
No investigation is required to justify the levies. Nor is there any limit on how long they can stay in place.
Since there's no precedent, however, the latest tariffs may also see more legal challenges.
When announcing his planned tariffs last month, Trump claimed that Canada was unfairly discriminating against U.S. exports of automobiles, alcohol and dairy products. He expressed anger over Canada's retaliation against his tariffs last year — noting Canadian imports of U.S. alcohol and cars started to fall in the spring.
Canada's retaliation
Carney quickly promised to match the new levies “dollar for dollar,” later announcing retaliation would begin Sept. 8. He noted the tariff increases would target U.S. steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper and electronics.
The prime minister said Canada was willing to drop remaining retaliatory tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos if the U.S. substantially lowered its own, and to encourage provinces to restore U.S. alcohol sales. But eventually, he said Washington's final demands went too far.
Carney accused Washington of using “economic integration as a weapon” and said Canada had been “attacked” via the latest U.S. tariffs. He said his country had the reserves and resilience to respond.
Trump's top trade negotiator, Jamieson Greer, pledged additional measures to respond to Canada's retaliation, without immediately providing specifics. In a TV interview Saturday, Greer also claimed the administration offered to cut tariffs on steel, autos
What's next?
Tariffs are taxes paid by importers, or businesses that buy goods from abroad. That typically trickles down to consumers through higher prices — and, as seen over the last year, can also create uncertainty for workers across affected sectors.
North America now has a “new tariff landscape,” Dave Townsend, a partner at Dorsey & Whitney, said Saturday. He noted a big question is whether the latest levies prove to be temporary.
The 50% tariffs come on top of previously imposed levies, including a 10% rate Trump imposed on Canada just last month, ostensibly for failing to do enough to block imports produced by forced labor, and separate sectoral levies affecting trading partners globally.
The growing trade sanctions on Canada underscore Trump's willingness to risk breaking established alliances. And Canada's reluctance to accept a deal may reflect recent experience.
Trump has repeatedly targeted Canada, even after instances in which it made concessions. Some tolls on the Gordie Howe Bridge will be shared for 15 years, despite the fact that Canadians paid for the span linking Detroit and Windsor.
Canada also withdrew a digital services tax last year. All the while, Trump has threatened more tariffs over events that angered him, including a TV ad criticizing his trade policies (later pulled by Ontario's government) and Canadian wildfires whose smoke blackened skies over parts of the United States.

Senators slam TikTok over ‘depraved’ experiment on teens
TWO U.S. lawmakers wrote a letter to TikTok regarding “disgusting new reports” about an experiment it ran that withheld a safety feature from 10% of its U.S. users. One of those users was a teenager who died by suicide.

BY OLIVIA CARVILLE
Two senators have sent a letter to TikTok executives demanding answers about an experiment the company ran that withheld a safety feature from millions of users, including a teenager who died by suicide.
The senators, co-sponsors of an online child safety bill, called TikTok's decision to conduct the test "depraved."
The existence of the experiment, discussed in detail in a confidential 2023 company document, was reported by Bloomberg Businessweek this month. It prompted the letter sent Wednesday by Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) to TikTok Inc. Chief Executive Shou Chew and Adam Presser, CEO of the company's Culver City-based U.S. spinoff.
“We write regarding disgusting new reports that TikTok knowingly withheld a critical safety measure for millions of American users — including children — in order to determine whether protecting users would impact its financial bottomline,” the four-page letter began. The Businessweek story’s “appalling” revelations, the senators wrote, “raise serious questions about TikTok’s repeated assurances to Congress, parents and the American public that it prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of young people over profit.”
The TikTok document, handed over in litigation against the world's biggest social media companies and placed under a court-ordered seal, shows the company intentionally switched off an algorithmic safeguard from 10% of U.S. users, turning them into a control group. The safeguard was designed to break up online echo chambers of harmful
content.
At the time, that control group would have been approximately 15 million people. One of them was 16-year-old Chase Nasca of Bayport, N.Y. His account, the document said, was fed thousands of videos about sadness, hopelessness, loneliness and suicide right up until he killed himself. Chase was randomly selected for the algorithm experiment on Jan. 25, 2022. Within a month, he was dead.
The document explains why Chase's account received what it called an “on-slaught” of dark content: “TikTok’s filter bubble prevention strategies did not take effect on this user by design.” And it states why the company turned off the safety setting for some: “The user impact decision was a delicate balance across safety and the ability to measure impact on DAU (daily active users) and core metrics.”
TikTok didn't respond to a request for comment about the letter. But in a statement for the Business-week story, a TikTok spokesperson said the company was “deeply committed to the safety and well-being of users,” especially teens. “Our hearts break for any family that experienced a tragic loss,” the spokesperson said. “To help protect our community, we continue to invest significantly in Trust & Safety, including robust detection systems and dedicated enforcement teams that proactively remove content that violates our Community Guidelines."
In their letter, Blumenthal and Blackburn pointed out that Congress had raised concerns about TikTok's algorithm driving young users toward harmful content since October 2021 — before the company rolled out the experiment. The revelations, the senators wrote, "are made even more sinister because TikTok was on notice about the effects of its recommendation algorithms on children."
The senators demanded answers to 13 questions, including the names of every employee informed of the experiment; an explanation for why the company permitted minors to be included in the test; details on when executives learned about the experiment; and a “complete, unredacted version” of the document reported on by Businessweek. They also asked for a list of every algorithmic experiment in the U.S. where TikTok has “withheld, disabled, delayed, or reduced a safety feature,” the number of users involved and how many were minors. The senators gave the company until Sept. 1 to respond.
"The fact that they did this knowingly and that they used their users as an experiment is something that just seems inconceivable," Blackburn said in an interview after the Businessweek story was published but before the letter was sent. "It shows you how when our children are on these social media platforms — they are the products."
To Blackburn, the experiment is a clear example of a company prioritizing “making money and capturing eyeballs” over safety. “Look at the fact that this was a happy, 16-year-old boy with no mental health issues and then, over this short window of time, the impact of feeding video after video after video and post after post after post about depression and suicide and what it did to this child. It is frightening — and this is something that these platforms need to be held to account for.”
Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) echoed Blackburn's concerns in a statement, saying the report was deeply troubling and demonstrated the “devastating consequences that can occur when engagement metrics and corporate profits are prioritized over the safety and well-being of our children.” During a hearing in March 2023, weeks after the confidential document was created, Bilirakis had questioned Chew about Chase, and said, “Your technology is literally leading to death.” Chew responded saying the company takes these issues “very seriously” and provides mental health resources to users who search for suicide content.
Bilirakis and Blackburn both said American families have waited too long for protections for children online and called for child safety bills to be fast-tracked. Blackburn pushed for the Kids Online Safety Act, a Senate bill she co-wrote with Blumenthal to force tech platforms to prioritize child safety above profits. The bill failed in the House in 2024 but was reintroduced this legislative session.

MARKET ROUNDUP
Wall Street drifts at the start of a consequential week
BY STAN CHOE
Stocks drifted to a mixed finish Monday as the count-down ticks toward potentially market-moving events coming later in the week. The areas of the bond market that the U.S. Treasury Department is trying to calm down, meanwhile, eased a bit.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 0.3% and pulled a bit further from its all-time high set this month. The Dow Jones industrial average added 140 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.8%.
Tech stocks led the way downward after big swings through the summer on worries that the frenzy around artificial-intelligence technology sent prices too high and that the huge demand for AI chips won't be sustainable if they don't produce enough profits.
Chip giant Nvidia has been a tremendous winner of the AI boom and has become Wall Street's largest and most influential stock because of it. It will deliver its latest quarterly earnings report Wednesday, which could dictate the next big move for AI-related stocks.
Nvidia sank 2.9% and was the heaviest weight on the S&P 500, where the majority of stocks rose. Drops of 5.8% for Micron Technology and 2.6% for Broadcom also helped drag the index lower.
All told, the S&P 500 fell 21.51 points to 7,652.86. The Dow rose 140.15 points to 53,417.16, and the Nasdaq composite sank 200.26 points to 25,980.19.
The other big factor moving stocks recently has been the bond market, where longer-term Treasury yields climbed through the summer on worries about high inflation, huge government debts and other factors. High yields make it more expensive for everyone to borrow, not just the government, and have already pushed up mortgage rates and hurt the housing industry.
The U.S. Treasury Department announced a surprise move last week to increase the size of planned buybacks of Treasurys, which could help contain the rise in yields for 10- and 30-year Treasurys. But analysts warned the move may have only a limited effect because of how small the size of the buybacks are and how they do not fix the fundamental problems of too-high debt for the U.S. government and expensive oil prices because of the war with Iran.
On Monday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.70% from 4.74% late Friday and is back below where it was late Tuesday, before the U.S. Treasury Department made its surprise announcement.
Helping to bring yields down on Monday was a drop in oil prices. Brent crude fell
2.3% to \$90.54 per barrel.
Last month it zigzagged between \$72 and \$102 as hopes rose and fell that the United States and Iran could reach a deal that would allow oil tankers to freely exit the Persian Gulf again. The United States on Monday announced new sanctions aimed at Iran, which helped drag the value of Iran's currency to a record low against the U.S. dollar.
Despite Monday's easing of Treasury yields, analysts warn the U.S. government's attempts to influence the bond market could ultimately mean higher pressure on inflation. Inflation already is worse than nearly everyone would like and has been for years.
That raises the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise the federal funds rate, which affects very short-term overnight loans. When the Fed raises that rate, it could help keep a lid on inflation by trying to slow the overall economy and undercutting prices for stocks and other investments.
The Fed's new chairman, Kevin Warsh, is set to deliver a speech Friday at an economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The mountain setting has been the backdrop for major Fed policy announcements in the past, but investors are unsure of what they may get from Warsh this time around.
Warsh has insisted that he wants to give financial markets fewer clues about what the Fed will do with interest rates, hoping that markets react more to incoming data about the economy and inflation than to what the Fed is signaling.
But with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announcing his move last week, Warsh now holds the ball, according to economists at Bank of America. Expectations are high among investors for Warsh to talk about inflation and how the Fed could potentially react, and a failure to deliver could lead to bond yields rising further, they said.

To keep veterans out of jail, help before they are veterans
There is a troubling connection between military separation practices and eventual incarceration
A MERICA IS exceptionally good at sending members of its military into harm's way. We are far less good at managing what happens when those men and women come home.
I recently toured the Vista Detention Facility north of San Diego and saw this problem firsthand. Although the facility's staff is doing commendable work, the fact that so many veterans are there in the first place shows how our efforts are falling short.
Frankly, it broke my heart.
Every year, roughly 200,000 service members leave our armed forces and begin the sometimes rocky transition to civilian life. Most succeed. They raise families, build businesses, become teachers and police officers, coach Little League and serve their communities in other ways. But some struggle, and more than a few end up in places like Vista, or worse.
When this happens, our first instinct is to ask: What did this veteran do wrong? We should be asking the harder question too: Are we doing enough to prevent those who served from becoming entangled in the criminal justice system?
The answer, unfortunately, is no.
The nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice Veterans Justice Commission, which I direct, has documented a troubling connection between military separation practices, unmet needs and veterans' subsequent involvement in the justice system. Tens of thousands of veterans are currently incarcerated, and roughly one-third of veterans report having been arrested and booked into jail at some point in their lives.
These statistics do not mean that military service causes criminal behavior. They do mean that we need to look harder — and earlier — at what happens to service members before they turn in their uniforms and become veterans.
One factor that merits concern is the dramatic growth of “bad paper,” shorthand for other-than-honorable discharges. The percentage of service members receiving such discharges has increased a whopping fivefold since World War II. But here’s the bigger news: While other-than-honorable discharges constitute approximately 6% of all discharges, they make up 18% of the discharges held by incarcerated veterans.
Commanders have a responsibility to maintain order and readiness among their troops. When a service member repeatedly misbehaves, abuses drugs or alcohol or fails to meet standards, commanders must act.
But they face a dilemma. The easiest way to remove a troubled service member from service is often a “bad paper” administrative discharge. The harder choice is to determine why the behavior is occurring, and whether targeted, evidence-based intervention might change it.
Is there combat-related PTSD? An undiagnosed brain injury? Military sexual trauma? Another treatable condition? Too often, in our haste to purge the trouble-maker and get back to business, these possibilities are not even considered.
In short, although the military has become very good at identifying and managing risk on the battlefield, its leaders need to be equally committed to identifying risk in our own ranks.
Our failure to do so triggers life-altering consequences. Veterans with other-than-honorable dis-

charges can face significant barriers to Veterans Affairs services, including the very treatment they need to address what caused them to misbehave in the first place. That gap in care can turn a difficult exit from the military into a downward spiral. Veterans are more likely to experience homelessness and a range of behavioral and mental health challenges. For some, an encounter with the criminal justice system comes next.
To short-circuit this cycle, the Pentagon should equip commanders with evidence-based tools to distinguish between a service member who simply refuses to meet standards and one whose misconduct may be linked to trauma experienced in the service.
Yes, sometimes separation will be necessary, but our society shouldn't treat human beings as defective parts that should simply be axed from the inventory. That is effectively what today's system forces commanders to do. By making administrative discharge the default because rehabilitation is difficult, the Pentagon is often transferring the problem from the military to individual veterans, their families and, ultimately, the community.
The Veterans Justice Commission has offered practical recommendations to help: better assessment of service members involved in military justice, evidence-based interventions when appropriate, greater use of rehabilitation and retention options, and reforms to ensure all veterans not discharged under dishonorable conditions have access to VA care
The Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs should act on these proposals. This isn't about being soft on misconduct; it's about being smart. It's about preventing early warning signs from morphing into criminal behavior, when effective intervention might have prevented it.
We recruited these men and women. We spent thousands of dollars to train them. In some cases, we made them vulnerable to harm and exposed them to things other Americans will never face — and would find unimaginable.
When their service ends, our responsibility for them does not. We must not abandon them when they struggle, and we must do whatever we can to ensure the veteran we thank on the street today does not become the offender we incarcerate tomorrow.
Let's be better for those who volunteered to defend our freedom. It benefits all of us, and we have a moral obligation to do so.

THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY performs at the Hollywood Bowl on Aug. 18.
Audience enjoyed popular songs
Re “National Symphony finds shelter at Bowl,” Aug. 21
MARK Swed's review of a recent concert by the National Symphony at the Hollywood Bowl is an illustration of the critic at his snarkiest. I attended the same concert but had a completely different reaction. I must confess that I am not a highly trained music critic, but I have been attending concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and elsewhere for more than 70 years. In addition, I hold a doctorate in higher education from the UCLA School of Education.
Swed describes the Bowl concert as “unimaginative” and spends the bulk of the remainder of his review talking about what the National Symphony should have played rather than talking about what it actually played.
The program included music by Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Antonin Dvorak. These are all outstanding works that were thoroughly appreciated by me and countless other members of the audience.
Swed laments the choice of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story," rather than some of the more classical and far less well-known works that Bernstein composed.
The truth, however, is that Bernstein's music for "West Side Story" and "Candide" is enjoyed and appreciated by far more people than the serious classical pieces that Bernstein wrote during his extensive career.
It is highly unlikely that the Bowl audience would have had the same appreciation and enjoyment had the National Symphony played Bernstein's “Slava! A Political Overture,” “Three Meditations” from “MASS” or “Songfest.” Instead, National Symphony conductor Gianandrea Noseda presented a program of much more well-known works that were performed excellently by a great orchestra.

Trump always shifts the blame
Re “In this White House, the buck stops elsewhere,” Aug. 17
Associated Press reporter Will Weissert hit the nail on the head. Nothing is ever the fault of President Trump or his administration, whether it's the Reflecting Pool, the costly war with Iran, the extended deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier or the economy.
Trump refuses to take responsibility. He shifts the blame to others, including past presidents and vandals, or simply downplays the facts. Now, just a day after Weissert's article ran, Trump is blaming vandals for grass damage near the World War II Memorial.
Is it so difficult to admit that this is what happens to grass when you build a stage on it for a Fourth of July celebration with apparently (according to Trump) more than 400,000 attendees?
culture and conservation work together.
The displacement of ranching and dairy families has had profound consequences. Homes have been lost, employees uprooted, long-standing community networks fractured and a vital organic food system weakened. The National Environmental Policy Act requires federal agencies to weigh the social, cultural and economic effects of major actions, not just environmental ones. These consequences deserve the same consideration as environmental goals.
Point Reyes was founded on the vision that conservation and working ranches could coexist. Its future should honor that legacy rather than abandon it.

Made-up case law from attorneys for State Farm in a case handled by its private counsel is beyond comprehension.

EVEN IF a wild animal “wet market” didn’t cause the last pandemic, one could cause the next.
ANTHONY KWAN Getty Images
Voices NEIL VORA GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
MORE THAN six years after a novel coronavirus spread to the United States, our nation's leaders
COVID squabble distracts from preventing next threat
are still locked in a partisan cage-match over the origin of the pathogen. The neverending cycle of recriminations and scapegoating is a waste of time and money — and worse yet, it undermines everyone's common goal of preventing future waves of mass death, lockdowns and school closures.
I'm a physician and epidemiologist who spent nearly a decade investigating epidemics around the world for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The truth about outbreaks of new or rare diseases is that they're exceptionally difficult to trace back to a single point of origin. For example, 50 years since the discovery of the Ebola virus, scientists still don't fully understand in what wild animal species it hides between outbreaks. We'll probably never know, with absolute certainty, whether COVID-19 was the result of a "lab leak" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology or transmitted from infected animals to humans at one of the city's wet markets.
While I'd love to know the "true" answer, it doesn't change how we ought to move forward. I strongly favor the wet-market hypothesis based on available peer-reviewed evidence. There's a strong case against a lab-associated origin, but I cannot definitively rule it out. Regardless, both explanations highlight growing global biosecurity issues. A responsible government would adopt strong policies on both fronts — strengthening safety standards for laboratory research involving dangerous pathogens and cracking down on the commercial wildlife trade — rather than ignoring either well-documented threat for the sake of political convenience. Even if we knew one of those were responsible for the last pandemic, the other could cause the next one.
Around the world, there are more than 50 “Biosafety Level 4” laboratories, built to house the world’s scariest pathogens. The world would be a lot more dangerous without research into these germs, and the labs employ strict biocontainment protocols to mitigate the risks of working with them: spacesuit-like personal protective equipment, lengthy decontamination procedures, specialized air-handling systems and
more.
But lapses happen, and they can pose threats to public health. Since the 1970s, serious lab-associated human infections have occasionally occurred involving pathogens such as the bacteria that cause anthrax and brucellosis and the smallpox virus. As the threat of infectious diseases grows in today's interconnected world, including from bad actors who could use artificial intelligence to do real harm, there is a greater need than ever to keep doing critical scientific research to develop countermeasures (such as vaccines) against microbial threats while also creating an international set of standards to minimize any potential risks of such research. Research funders should require adherence to these standards, and academic journals should demand it as a condition for publication.
We also have to recognize that science gone wrong makes for dramatic storytelling (as in my favorite zombie apocalypse movie, "28 Days Later," plus many others), but the far more common origin of pandemics is a process known as zoonotic spillover, whereby pathogens jump from animals to humans. Every modern viral pandemic prior to COVID-19 originated this way. Scientists believe there are thousands of yet-to-be-discovered viruses currently circulating in birds and mammals that could one day also make the leap into humans.
Unlike lab leaks, which can often be blamed on the mistakes — or deliberate actions — of individuals, the culpability around spillovers is far more diffuse. We're all responsible in some way: Spillovers are becoming more frequent because of humanity's relentless exploitation of animals and nature, including through deforestation, industrial agriculture and the global wildlife trade. The so-called natural origin theory of COVID-19 — an ironic name, given that there is nothing natural about caging wild animals in crowded conditions, where they literally defecate and urinate on top of each other, spreading any pathogens they carry — is a reminder that cracking down on the importation and sale of wildlife would go a long way in preventing the next pandemic.
Every year, millions of live wild animals are shipped around the world, largely to meet growing demand for exotic cuisines and unique pets, and they can carry diseases across borders. In 2002, for example, SARS — a coronavirus cousin of COVID-19 with a 10% fatality rate — infected more than 8,000 people on five continents. It originated in bats, made its way into wild animals sold in markets and then spread to humans in Guangdong Province, China.
This problem, however, is not unique to East Asia. The United States ranks among the world's top importers of wildlife. Over the past 20 years, nearly 3 billion wild animals have been legally shipped into the country — but “legal” does not mean “safe.” The stressful conditions that are common in the trade — including malnutrition, poor hygiene, overcrowding and unnatural mixing of species — create ideal conditions for viruses to circulate, mutate and spill over into new hosts. Even legal imports are rarely screened for disease; in many instances, exporters and importers are allowed to self-at-test the health of their animals. The wildlife trade is like allowing a dangerous genetic experiment to take place in strip malls and living rooms, without any meaningful oversight or regulation.
American health officials are aware of this threat. In 2003, for example, more than 70 cases of a mysterious smallpox-like illness appeared across the Midwest. The cause was eventually traced back to rats and other critters from Ghana, some of which harbored the virus that causes mpox, which had been imported to meet demand for unique pets.
In response, the U.S. government banned the importation of African rodents — and then did little else. It's long past time for our officials to end our open-border policy for wildlife, limiting imports to a short list of species that pose minimal risk to public health, while prohibiting sales of all others.
The incessant bickering over the origins of COVID-19 hasn't made anyone safer; in fact, our ability to respond to a pandemic today is probably worse than it was seven years ago, because we are more polarized than ever and elected officials have undermined institutions. Healthcare workers are traumatized and burned out. Our research capacity has declined, and public health experts have been pushed out of federal agencies.
Whatever the precise cause of the last pandemic, this much is true: Humanity enabled it. We also have the power to stop the next one — but we cannot do so through fighting. Pathogens don't care about politics.
VICE PRESIDENT JD Vance's recently resurfaced comments rightly question whether the U.S. dol-
lar should continue to be the world's reserve currency. He has also recognized that the problem dates back 40-some years, thereby indicting President Reagan and his Fed chairman, Paul Volcker. Equal blame should go to President Carter, who appointed Volcker in 1979. And the system's deep origin was President Nixon's 1974 agreement that Saudi Arabia could charge whatever it wanted for oil, provided it traded in dollars. But it was under Reagan and Volcker, in 1981, that the hammer fell.
The same high interest rates that battered industry did save the dollar, which soared in value. German and Japanese cars and machinery conquered U.S. markets, while the supposed threat of the deutschemark and yen to the dollar receded. In 1985 the Treasury engineered a depreciation, but the industrial damage was irreversible, and the dollar's supremacy was locked in. Eventually Europe would adopt the euro, and industrial power would shift to China, yielding the world we inhabit today.
For many years the “end of history” crowd argued that as “benign hegemon,” the U.S. would reap financial rewards and also supply the thin edge of the most advanced technologies to the world. Regular Americans could buy and consume
I became executive director of the congressional Joint Economic Committee in January 1981, as interest rates hit 20%, driving the economy to the wall. It fell to my intrepid members, chaired by Henry Reuss (D-Wis.) — along with a few brave Republicans like Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.) — to oppose the policy. We saw that whipping inflation meant defeating America's trade unions by destroying the industries they worked for. Reuss' Milwaukee, a capital of machine shops, was hard hit. Ohio, then the heart of manufacturing, was devastated. Vance, born in 1984, grew up in the Rust Belt wreckage of those years.
THE POPULARITY of the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency tends to hurt American consumers, as JD Vance has observed.
Voices JAMES K. GALBRAITH GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
The world is stuck with the dollar
the fruits of other people's industrial and farm labor. China would become a well-behaved liberal democracy. If any nation tried to move off the dollar exchange-reserve system, the military was available, as Libya and Iraq would find out.
However, military strength rests on industrial power. New technologies emerge by practice and perfection of skills and by selection from many options. Industrial and engineering decline erode the skills and sap the options. Eventually, leadership passes elsewhere. A military built on obsolete doctrines and supplied from a depleted base cannot cope.
What remains is the hollowed-out edifice of financial power. Perhaps this too will one day fall — as it did for the previous hegemon, Great Britain, bankrupted by two world wars. But one day is not now, or necessarily soon. President Franklin D. Roosevelt insisted on subordinating the sterling area — those nations and colonies that used the British pound as a reserve currency — to the dollar, because the U.S. was ready and willing to take over. The U.S. back then had no industrial peer.
Today, China is an industrial peer. But the U.S. still has no financial peer. Even the financial crisis of 2007-2009, a made-in-America debacle, did not shake the international dollar. Sanctions imposed on Russia have created a non-dollar, non-euro zone, but it is far from taking over.
Most important, financial hegemony would not serve China well. It would worsen that nation's wealth distribution and erode its industrial advantage. So China maintains capital controls and manages its exchange rate, while building vast reserves of oil, metals and strategic minerals. A chronic export surplus is the price worth paying for progress, for security and for the social stability on which Chinese state legitimacy rests.
Thus the problem Vance described has no known solution. To rebuild U.S. industrial and military power is impossible while the God-almighty dollar reserve system endures. Subsidies and tariffs can help keep the old and backward afloat. They cannot move them to the low-cost, high-volume, new-tech frontier. That frontier will not magically return to a country that kicked away the foundations before Vance was born.
But even if the dollar system collapses someday, it would not help. Devaluation would fuel inflation — as in Britain in the 1970s. To rebuild industry, technology and the society that can sustain them would require the kind of whole-of-society effort last seen here in the 1930s and 1940s, at the dawn of the age of oil. Even should the necessary state structures be created, it is far from sure that the resources would be there. For now, the future is in the hands of the artificial intelligence companies and their data

DR. ADLER DILLMAN and his research team are studying a flatworm parasite known as the liver fluke.
ESSENTIAL CALIFORNIA
His work saves dogs from a deadly parasite
UC Riverside professor first identified the liver fluke as the cause of a mysterious illness that was baffling canine owners in California
BY ANDREW J. CAMPA
For a couple of months, Norco resident John Baynes desperately searched for answers.
His 10-year-old male Labrador named Colt dropped a quarter of his weight from his normally robust 80 pounds and no one knew why.
"We were told by the vet that he was in liver failure and that an ultrasound showed dark spots all over his liver," he said of a July doctor's appointment.
"We were then told to put him down."
In despair, Baynes searched out any info on dog ailments, eventually landing on a Blythe-area Facebook post that pointed to a flatworm parasite known as a liver fluke, discovered where Baynes and his dogs frequented.
The post highlighted the work of UC Riverside professor Adler Dillman, chair of the school's Department of Nematology (study of roundworms) and an expert on parasitology, who first identified the liver fluke in
California.
The post offered hope, but perhaps more important, a remedy for his beloved Colt, who has since recovered thanks to a cocktail of antiparasitics.
“I want to spread the word and do what I can to stop this disease,” said Baynes, who praised Dillman’s work.
For his efforts, Dillman was awarded a grant this month of more than \$200,000 from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. [See Dogs, B5]
Motorcyclist wins LAFD crash lawsuit
Rider gets \$28 million for the loss of part of his leg after a fire truck collision in 2021.
BY REBECCA ELLIS
A Los Angeles jury awarded \$28 million to a motorcyclist whose leg was crushed by a city fire truck, the latest eye-popping sum carved out of city coffers for alleged reckless driving by a city employee.
Robert Danbom was heading north on Vermont Avenue in East Hollywood on Sept. 2, 2021, when a city fire truck traveling west appeared abruptly in his path.
Danbom, who had the green light, claimed in his lawsuit that he had just a few seconds to react before an inevitable crash. His Harley-Davidson went flying as he fell under the wheels of the 65,000-pound truck, dislocating his shoulder and disfiguring his leg, which was later amputated below his knee.
“LAFD’s massive fire tender failed to follow basic safety standards in failing to stop, or even slow, the massive vehicle down before entering a very busy intersection,” the lawsuit alleged.
Filippo Marchino, an attorney with the X-Law Group who represented Danbom, said he believed the \$28-million payout, awarded Aug. 13, was the largest verdict in California stemming from a below-the-knee amputation. But it didn't need to be, he noted.
He would have happily taken half of what the jury awarded, he said.
“But there was zero engagement with the city attorney’s office,” he said. “These people don’t realize it’s not their money, it’s the city’s money, it’s the taxpayers’ money. It’s offensive because cases like ours could have been settled for significantly less than what the verdict is.”
According to the driver's manual for Los Angeles firefighters presented to the jury, "the first apparatus in a convoy shall stop at all red lights and stop signs." Video from the scene shows the truck moving through the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vermont without stopping.
"If you sat through our trial, you'd be like, 'These guys are high,' Marchino said. "They kept saying they stopped, and we had video saying they didn't stop."
The Fire Department and the city attorney's office did not respond to requests for comment.
According to a transcript of an interview from the scene, LAFD Apparatus Operator Vincent Leong said the truck stopped at the intersection and made sure nobody was approaching before proceeding.
"This is a blind intersection, you know, so I slowed down," he said, according to the transcript, which was used as evidence at the trial. "I started creeping forward. ... I didn't see anybody."
The amount the city pays each year in settlements and jury verdicts has skyrocketed, from \$64 million about a decade ago to \$289 million last year.

John “Jed” York, the owner and chief executive of the San Francisco 49ers, has pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in his home state of Ohio after he was arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution over the weekend, according to Ohio state officials and court records.
York, 45, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools Monday morning, after his arrest Sunday by a task force focused on reducing human trafficking, according to Columbiana County Municipal Court records and the Ohio attorney general's office.
He was released on \$5,000 bail Sunday, court records show, but ordered back to court Monday morning, where he was arraigned on charges of engaging in prostitution and possessing criminal tools, both misde-

A French visitor to California died after his vehicle became stuck in mud on a remote road in scorching Death Valley heat.
Pierre Michel Formosa, 68, and another Frenchman were driving Aug. 17 on rugged West Side Road in the isolated southern reaches of Death Valley National Park when their vehicle got stuck near Queen of Sheba Mine Road.
Paroled ex-LAPD detective faces jail again
That afternoon, temperatures in the park peaked at a career in which the late Police Chief Daryl F. Gates called him “one of the smartest ... most innovative detectives I’ve ever known ... exactly what you’d want in a detective.”
CAROLYN COLE Los Angeles Times
MICHAEL D. BRAMBLES, shown in a file photo.
The alleged April 19, 1994, kidnapping and attack were part of a series of armed holdups and sexual assaults across the L.A. region. Brambles received 102 years in state prison in 1996 for his L.A. County crimes. Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryoff said investigators identified Brambles and he was charged, but because of his sentencing in L.A., the case was dropped.
But Fryoff said that as part of a Ventura County sexual assault kit initiative, all sexual assault cases are being reviewed and retested with modern technology. As part of investigating the assault on SW, detectives learned that Brambles had been released from custody under California's parole laws for elderly inmates.
"As you can imagine, this was devastating news for SW. The man she believed would spend the rest of his life in prison had been released," Fryoff said.
This summer, authorities informed SW about the results of their investigation and asked if she wanted to press charges, Ventura County Dist. Atty. Eric Nasarenko said. She said yes.

How a bald eagle became part of our celebrity culture
GINA FERAZZI Los Angeles Times
CAPTAIN Michael Marzell wears a shirt dedicated to saving Big Bear's resident eagles while giving a lake tour for bird-watchers. Female eagle Jackie died Aug. 10.
Jackie fascinated fans far and wide, and her death drew tributes reserved for very few.
BY JACK DOLAN
Recently, my colleague Lila Seidman was scrolling through her inbox when she came upon a wrenching message from a distraught reader pouring out her soul.
"Jackie you were the HEART of the world! You united the world no matter what race, religion or politics you were, you gave us all HOPE!"
That stunning tribute was among nearly 200 she received, including one that read: “Beloved Jackie showed us resilience and strength and the beauty of nature and how she stood for what we all want to believe.”
Message after message delivered the kind of posthumous tributes we all (maybe secretly) aspire to receive, but know we'll never deserve.
So, who was this Jackie? And what, exactly, did she stand for? Jackie never said. You see, she wasn't an actor, or a statesman, or even a social media self-help guru — exactly.
Jackie was a bird.
A bald eagle, to be exact, one of a breeding pair that shot to international stardom about a decade ago after a nonprofit in Big Bear Lake — a mountain town about 100 miles from Los Angeles — set up a webcam by their nest and started broadcasting their lives 24/7.
Like "The Truman Show" with feathers.
Global interest focused on two birds
If you live in Los Angeles — the bizarre, beating heart of celebrity culture — you know how devoted people can get when it comes to their favorite stars. Tourists here pay top dollar to hop on buses and cruise past the closed gates, and occasional curbside trash bins, of famous people's homes.
Still, even many jaded Angelenos couldn't predict the world's interest — some might say obsession — with Jackie and her mate, Shadow.
But maybe we all should have seen it coming because their show had it all.
Set on a beautiful waterfront and surrounded by gorgeous mountains, it rolled out in classic soap opera style: romantic rivalries, fraught childbirth, a desperate and doomed fight to keep the kids alive through a terrifying blizzard, epic health struggles and, ultimately, the tragic death of the beloved matriarch.
And the world couldn't get enough. The Facebook account of the nonprofit that set up the webcam, Friends of Big Bear Valley, has 1.3 million followers. Their YouTube channel has had more than 460 million views since 2019.
Seidman, an environmental reporter who has been writing about Jackie and Shadow for about a year, told me she was surprised that so many readers seemed to want to know more about the birds than human celebrities.
Brad Pitt doesn't get such scrutiny
One of the first stories she remembers writing was about a young bird — possibly a chick that had grown and left — returning to the aerie.
"Can you imagine writing something like that about Brad Pitt?" Seidman asked with a chuckle. "That his daughter visited him? I don't think that would be too significant."
But as is so often the case in celebrity culture, the intense curiosity led to some dark places.
In July, 14-year-old Jackie was found on the shore of the lake, underweight and disheveled after sparring with younger eagles. She was taken to a nonprofit wildlife rescue, the Ojai Raptor Center, where a team of veterinarians went to extraordinary lengths to try to help her.
Despite exhaustive tests and exams, the vets still couldn't say precisely what was wrong.
That's when some of her online followers — like that crazy sibling who shows up to the family crisis having done their own research — got suspicious and started second-guessing the experts.
The love affair turns dark
Before long, the staff at the raptor center said they were wasting precious time batting down ridiculous conspiracy theories and social media posts with misleading, AI-generated images and videos.
They faced “constant requests for information, repeated phone calls, unexpected visits, messages on their personal social media accounts, and, in some cases, contact at their private homes,” according to a plea for understanding (and sanity) the staff posted on Aug. 4.
When Jackie died about a week later, someone posted on X, “Ojai Raptor Center has some explaining to do. Just saying.”
Based on the overwhelming outpouring of love for Jackie, there was obviously a beautiful side to her fame, Seidman said. Something that allowed so many people to connect and express profound feelings they might struggle to share with the people in their lives.
Asked if Jackie's death means the story is over, Seidman laughed out loud and said, "Absolutely not."
It says misinformation about its expansion is stirring online threats, anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Months after three people were killed in a deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, an Irvine mosque and its “Village” campus are the subject of an online disinformation campaign.
Amy “Mek” Mekelburg, founder of the Rise Align Ignite Reclaim (RAIR) Foundation, posted on social media that the Islamic Center of Irvine “just seized control of three additional buildings” behind its mosque for the purposes of creating a “parallel society.”
BY GABRIEL SAN ROMÁN
A far-right podcaster reposted Mekelburg's Aug. 11 comments on Facebook, which attracted online threats — ones that the Council on American-Islamic Relations in the Greater Los Angeles area wants investigated by law enforcement.
“We're taking this very seriously,” said Amr Shabaik, CAIR-LA's legal director, who confirmed the organization is working with the Islamic Center of Irvine. “We know that they have filed a police report and contacted the authorities in their area. They've notified their community and are taking measures to do everything they can within reasonable control to protect their community, as well.”
In recent days, a new female has been spotted in the eagle nest keeping Shadow company.

Football player, 17, is fatally shot at Bakersfield high school game
Levi Brown was killed just as the team was taking the field. Police arrest a 15-year-old.
BY JASMINE MENDEZ
Independence High School was set to kick off its football season against Kern County rival Centennial High, but game night turned into tragedy.
A gang-related shooting claimed the life of 17-year-old student-athlete Levi Brown inside the stadium gates Friday, Bakersfield police said.
On Sunday, school officials confirmed that Brown did not attend Independence High. In a Facebook post, football coach Vince Carter mourned his player, writing that Brown “was around the wrong crowd and was getting misled and misguided,” adding, “It hurts to see this is how it ended.”
It remains unclear what school Brown attended.
The shooting broke out around 8 p.m. after an argument just as the varsity squad was taking the field, according to the football team's Instagram account.
Panic ensued as gunshots rang out. Video captured by KBAK/KBFX showed crowds of spectators and football players in full gear sprinting toward the exits.
Responding officers took Brown to Kern Medical, where he was pronounced dead.
“We know that families look forward to coming out every Friday night to watch their kids play,” Bakersfield
Police Officer Eric Celedon said at a news conference Friday. “This was an isolated incident, and we want to reinforce that school games in Bakersfield remain safe.”
Despite those assurances, the violence has left the community shaken.
"As a father who worked for the Kern high school district as a security guard, the district and the high school need to put a plan in place to prevent this from happening again," said one parent on Facebook. "We need to hold the school district accountable for this incident."
On Saturday, police confirmed they had arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the shooting. It was not immediately clear whether he was a student at Independence High.
"Our hearts are with the family of the 17-year-old who lost his life, [and] all those impacted by this tragedy," the Police Department said on X. "We have a strong community. That strength will carry us forward."
Brown is survived by a 1-year-old daughter, Carter told the California Post.
“Levi had crazy potential, and I always believed [in] him,” Carter wrote on Facebook. “Get your rest, kid. I’ll always remember the last 7v7 you played and said, ‘Coach, thank you for believing in me.’ Always did and always will.”
Also on Friday, a scare occurred at L.A. Southwest College in San Pedro, where a loud noise triggered a stampede out of the stadium. Police later confirmed to ABC7 that no shooting took place.
THE SHOOTING happened after an argument erupted Friday night at Independence High School.

Irvine Islamic center on high alert
JASON ARMOND Los Angeles Times
THE ISLAMIC Center of Irvine has been a “pillar” of the O.C. community, according to Rep. Dave Min.
ment spokesperson Kyle Ol-doerp told TimesOC that officers are monitoring the situation closely but are “not aware of any credible threats at this time.”
The Irvine Police Department also has stepped up its presence at the center.
This is not the first time an Orange County mosque has been targeted via social media.
The Islamic Society of Orange County in Garden Grove heightened its security in April after the RAIR Foundation launched a similar campaign criticizing its expansion plans, which led to anti-Muslim rhetoric and violent threats online.
"Tired anti-Muslim stereotypes are driving these campaigns where the simple actions of renovating a mosque or expanding services are treated as some nefarious plot," Shabaik added. "It's driven, obviously, by a hatred of Muslims but also serves to rally certain demographics ahead of the midterm elections."
Mekelburg's post about the Islamic Center of Irvine garnered nearly 250,000 views within a week.
“Why are we allowing an Islamic ‘Village’ to rise in Irvine?” she demanded to know.
Rep. Dave Min (D-Irvine) called the Islamic Center of Irvine a “pillar” in O.C., where interfaith collaboration is fostered, and denounced the online threats against it.
"Hate has no place in Irvine, Orange County or anywhere else," Min said in a statement. "Unfortunately, we are seeing a steep rise in Islamophobia across the country. We must swiftly confront hate and reject baseless conspiracy theories targeting the Muslim community."
The mosque in Irvine was established in 2004. Nearly two decades later, its supporters had raised enough money to acquire buildings behind the structure as part of a concept known as the Village.
In a promotional video, former Executive Director Amin Rafiq noted that the concept was born in 2023 and that community members raised more than \$1 million in a single night during the holy month of Ramadan.
That effort allowed the organization to operate a total of four buildings by the following year. According to the center's website, the Village offers a range of services, including sessions on mastering the Quran, babysitting, a private hair salon, gym equipment and STEM classes for youths.
It is described as a “modern community hub in Irvine providing top-tier services in wellness, education and personal growth, based in Islamic principles and open to all.”
Long before the Village was conceived, the Islamic Center of Irvine established itself as a community that rebuffed extremism.
Twenty years ago, paid FBI informant Craig Monteihl posed as Farouk al-Aziz, a Muslim convert, but was reported to authorities by the center's members in 2007 after he began aggressively pushing for “violent jihad.”
Three mosque members sued the FBI, claiming it had violated their constitutional rights. CAIR-LA and the American Civil Liberties Union continue to work on that case.
"The effects of that are still felt today," Shabaik said. "It is unfortunate when law enforcement at the federal level engages in this type of behavior and creates a certain level of distrust. In times like these, we need that connection between the mosques and law enforcement to make sure that the community is safe."

LAFD verdict is latest to hit city
[Lawsuit, from B1] nearly \$49 million to a man in a coma after he was hit by a city garbage truck, whose driver was accused of mak-
ing an “unsafe right turn.” The previous year, a motorcyclist received \$11 million after he was hit by a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power vehicle.
Hydee Feldstein Soto, who heads the city attorney's office, has said rising costs are the result of juries feeling increasingly antagonistic toward local government.
Some plaintiffs' attorneys have said that her leadership is to blame, with too many cases with weak defenses brought to trial.
Feldstein Soto failed to advance out of the June primary, the first time an incumbent Los Angeles city attorney has been ousted before a general election in nearly 100 years.

meanors. But the former charge was changed to disorderly conduct in his no-contest plea.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ers owner John “Jed” York was sentenced to two days in county jail and fined \$1,150.
York was sentenced to two days in county jail, with credit for the day he had already served, and ordered to pay a \$1,150 fine, the court file shows. The order also noted that \$160 confiscated in the arrest would be forfeited to MVHTTF, which appears to stand for the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.
The task force, which is a regional collaboration of law enforcement with support from the Ohio attorney general's office, arrested York, according to Steve Irwin, a spokesperson for the office.

He said the task force is a “very successful” unit for the state, focused on “arresting people seeking to purchase sex.”
The court records also said that officials were to return a phone to York, and that York had “completed an online course,” but additional details were not immediately available.
A mug shot from York's arrest was published by local news site WKBN-27, which said he was arrested in East Palestine, Ohio.
York grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, just north of East Palestine.
He filed a request to have the charges expunged Mon- day.
The Times attempted to contact the attorney listed in York's sentencing records but has not yet heard back.
A spokesperson for the 49ers, Corry Rush, declined to comment. "As this is a legal matter, which has been resolved, we will not be providing any further comment at this time," Rush said.

STRENGTH, LAUGHTER, AND COMFORT'
The long list of credits for Shelley Fabares, shown in 2008, includes the 1971 TV drama “Brian’s Song,” “The Little People” and “The Practice.”
SHELLEY FABARES, 1944 - 2026
‘Donna Reed Show’ actor also co-starred with Presley
Shelley Fabares' career began at age 3 and spanned TV, movies and music.
BY JASMINE MENDEZ
Actor Shelley Fabares, known for her television roles as Francine Webster on the
1975 sitcom “One Day at a Time,” Mary Stone on “The Donna Reed Show,” and her Billboard Hot 100 song “Johnny Angel,” died Sunday in Los Angeles surrounded by her loved ones. She was 82.
In a statement to The Times, a family friend shared the news of the star's death.
"To her family and friends, Shelley was a source of love, strength, laughter, and comfort ... whose warmth, generosity, humor, and grace made an enduring difference in the lives of everyone who knew her," the statement read. "She had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for."
The family did not dis- close the cause of death.
Fabares was born in Santa Monica in 1944. She began her acting career at the age of 3 and became a household name playing teenager Mary Stone on "The Donna Reed Show" from 1958 to 1963. Fabares frequently praised her on-screen mother, Donna Reed, calling her a "second mother."
Fabares went on to star alongside Elvis Presley in three movies: "Girl Happy," "Spinout" and "Clambake."
By the 1970s, Fabares had transitioned back to television, starring in the 1971 TV drama “Brian’s Song” and appearing in “The Little People” and “The Practice.”
She ended the decade on Norman Lear's "One Day at a Time," starring as Francine Webster opposite Bonnie Franklin.
Fabares later starred as Christine Armstrong on the ABC sitcom “Coach,” earning two Primetime Emmy nominations during the show’s nine-season run.
After her 1980 divorce from music producer Lou Adler, Fabares remarried "MASH" actor Mike Farrell in 1984. The pair eventually sold the Sherman Oaks honeymoon home they bought in 1985.
They moved to Studio City to better accommodate Fabares' mother, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Fabares spent her final years taking care of her mother and advocating for more funding for research into the disease.
She is survived by her husband and her daughter, Erin.

Linking a canine disease to a flatworm parasite
CONNOR GOLDY, a doctoral candidate at UC Riverside, studies a tiny snail known to transmit the flatworm.
[Dogs, from B1] [Dogs, from BI] He spoke with Essential California about his team's work.
Mystery infection
Dillman was last featured in The Times in 2024. Then, he and his team of graduate student researchers, dubbed Dillman Lab, linked a mysterious infection of several Southern California dogs to canine schistosomiasis from the flatworm parasite, not previously seen in California.
The breakthrough helped provide awareness of the disease in the region.
Eleven dogs from across three counties tested positive between 2018 and 2023. The actual number of infections is unknown since many cases go undiagnosed, Dillman said.
Since then, just a little over 800 high-risk dogs from Southern California, Nevada and Arizona have been tested by Dr. Kathleen Aicher at Texas A&M. Of those, 24.6% (roughly 1 in 4) have tested positive on at least one of the fecal tests for the flatworm.
What it does
Canine schistosomiasis — flatworm — affects the liver and intestines of dogs. Symptoms range from a loss of appetite to vomiting, diarrhea, severe weight loss, signs of liver disease and death.
The L.A. County Department of Public Health issued a warning in 2019, a year after two South Bay dogs were infected. Those cases were linked to a parasite called Heterobilharzia americana, a flatworm commonly referred to as the liver fluke.
Common in Texas and the South, the liver fluke was not known to be in California, Dillman said.
A fluke's new digs
It was suspected those two dogs contracted the disease after swimming in the Colorado River near Blythe, matching similar symptoms and stories from dog owners in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
Dillman's team made four trips to the river between March and August of 2023 to collect more than 2,000 snails of two distinct species known to transmit the worms.
Their work helped confirm that the worm was present in the river and was infecting dogs, entering through their skin and eventually landing in the intestines.
How funding helps Dillman's grant proposal
"caught the attention" of Stephanie Montgomery, chief executive of the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation.
Montgomery noted that the organization's grants are “quite competitive,” with only 15% to 20% of applicants receiving funding.
“This is a disease that just isn't on the radars of vets and owners outside the Gulf Coast and Atlantic states,” she said. “This research is key to bringing this to light and he needed to find funding.”
Dillman said much of his limited funding is tied to multiple annual research trips to the Colorado River, between May and September, the time when the pentip-sized snails are most abundant.
“This research is expensive and it requires a lot of travel,” he said. “I send members of my lab to all different parts of the Colorado River, to lakes and streams in and around Southern California, including Lake Mead and Lake Mojave, along with other freshwater lakes.”
His goals include identifying water sources where the liver fluke resides, so that pet owners can be aware of “a potential lethal infection in their dog.”

Ex-detective faces jail again
[Brambles, from B1] ing free, but he'd been out of prison six years," SW told reporters at a recent news conference. As a policy, The Times does not identify sexual assault victims. "The justice that I and his other victims deserved was denied when he was only required to serve a fraction of his sentence."
Brambles, now 77, was arrested Aug. 12 in Santa Maria after Ventura County prosecutors charged him with kidnapping for robbery and use of a weapon during a sexual assault, along with a plethora of other special circumstances that could lengthen any prison sentence. A Santa Barbara County jail official said Brambles was transferred to the Ventura County jail on Aug. 13, where, according to jail records, he is being held without bail. He's scheduled to appear at a Sept. 11 hearing in Ventura County Superior Court.
He was not charged with a sex crime because of the statute of limitations, officials said.
Brambles' storied LAPD career was overshadowed by revelations that in his last year on the job, while on medical leave, he moonlighted as an armed robber and, in some violent hold-ups, sexually assaulted victims.
In 1996, Brambles was found guilty of 26 felony counts stemming from a four-month string of robberies in which a lone gunman entered restaurants, shops and dry cleaners around Los Angeles — many along the Ventura Boulevard corridor of the San Fernando Valley — to clear out their cash registers at closing time, twice sexually assaulting female clerks. For the crimes, he received a 102- year sentence with a judge, himself a former cop, declaring Brambles had “no remorse whatsoever.”
LATE LAPD Chief Daryl F. Gates, here in 1992, once sang the praises of former Det. Michael D. Brambles.
MEL MELCON Los Angeles Times
But in 2020, Brambles was freed from prison. Nasarenko said he was the beneficiary of a 2018 law that grants prison inmates who had served 25 years continuously and were older than 60 an opportunity to seek elder parole.
Once dubbed “a golden boy” at the LAPD, Brambles was the department’s highest-profile organized-crime fighter, a man wondrously articulate who would spend hours on the street pursuing some of the most salacious cases the city had to offer.
A surfer and physical fitness buff, Brambles rose quickly through the ranks, eventually becoming a supervisor in the elite Organized Crime Intelligence Division.
In 1987, he headed a team of detectives probing the collapse of the ZZZZ Best carpet cleaning company, run by Barry Minkow, and later represented the department at congressional hearings on stock fraud and mob involvement in the Reseda-
based firm.
But in 1989, his LAPD superiors transferred him from the organized crime unit to the West Los Angeles station to work car theft investigations after another detective alleged before a grand jury that Brambles had rigged a photo lineup.
Brambles took medical leave in November 1993 and then retired the following March, two months after the robberies began. He became a suspect after a clerk at a dry cleaners that had been robbed saw Brambles at a motel and called police. A search of Brambles' motel room and vehicle turned up evidence linking him to the robberies.
In retirement, he shut- tled back and forth between Los Angeles and his Las Vegas home, and investiga- tors allege he committed the Thousand Oaks crime dur- ing one of those visits.
Authorities say there is DNA linking him to the crime. During his months-long trial in 1996, prosecutors also presented DNA evidence, along with a parade of robbery victims.
In that trial, Brambles swore he was the victim of a “tragic misidentification”
while hinting at a conspiracy against him because of a stormy 23-year career.
During that time, he made a slew of enemies — from mob figures who accused him of fabricating evidence to fellow law enforcement officials who described him as a glory-seeking loose cannon.
At the trial, Brambles took the witness stand, recounting how he clashed with top vice detectives while he served as the LAPD's chief "handler" for the late "Beverly Hills Madam," Elizabeth Adams.
After the vice squad arrested Adams, Brambles testified in her defense that she had been promised immunity from prosecution for forwarding sensitive “pillow talk” intelligence picked up by her pricey call girls.
Adams swore to the end that he was “one of the most honorable, decent cops I have ever met.”
In the probation report after the conviction, Brambles again professed his innocence. But he did confide that he “wonders if he was under so much stress that he lost his mind, committed the crime and then did not remember it.”

An ‘incredibly resilient’ cougar cub
Crimson, abandoned by his mother, had his leg amputated at the Oakland Zoo.
By Jasmine Mendez
Abandoned by his mother, mountain lion cub Crimson was rescued this year by wildlife officials and transferred to the Los Angeles Zoo with hopes for his full recovery.
The 3-week-old kitten was found in his den on March 25. He had lost 10% of his body weight and several of his toes were missing on a hind leg, which zoo officials said happened in the wild.
His overall condition was considered healthy, yet still subpar. Crimson was sent to the Oakland Zoo, where caretakers bottle-fed him around the clock.
During his initial days, zoo officials said that Crimson's health was “at a delicate stage” and would require close monitoring. Crimson underwent multiple bandaging and bracing to aid his limb development.
But officials said protecting his injured leg became “difficult.” Though a brace was used, it became clear to Crimson’s caretakers that his paw couldn’t bear weight.
After several months of treatment, zoo officials said the decision was made to amputate Crimson's leg.
“Amputating the affected limb [gives] him the best chance for long-term comfort and mobility,” zoo officials shared in a Facebook post.
So far, Crimson, now about $5\frac{1}{2}$ months old, seems to be getting along well on three legs.
“Crimson has proven to be incredibly resilient,” the zoo said, “returning almost immediately to the curious, energetic behavior expected of a growing cub.”
Crimson is the latest rescued mountain lion cub at the Oakland Zoo. Last year, zoo officials took in a trio of 3-month-old cubs, Fern, Thistle and Spruce, after their mom was probably struck and killed by a car.
French traveler, 68, dies on Death Valley salt flats
[Death Valley, from B1] statement. The man was declared dead at the scene after his body was found later that afternoon about $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles from Badwater Road. The cause and manner of his death will be determined by Inyo County's coroner.
"Our deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the visitor who died," Mike Reynolds, superintendent of Death Valley National Park, said in the statement. "This is a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly conditions here can turn dangerous. Death Valley is an extraordinary place, but its heat, distances, and remoteness can be dangerous, regardless of experience."
The national park, which is known as one of the hottest places on Earth, has seen its share of heat-related deaths in recent years, with at least half a dozen people, mostly in their 60s or older, dying since 2020, often as temperatures exceeded 120 degrees.
News of Formosa's death comes as Southern California braces for another week of extreme heat that weather forecasters have predicted will be the hottest yet this year.
France has experienced its own extreme weather in recent months. Wildfires near the southwestern city of Bordeaux have forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in what French President Emmanuel Macron has deemed an “unprecedented” crisis and the country’s worst fire-related disaster since World War II.

Chesney a ‘blessing’ to Bruins’ special teams unit
UCLA KICKER Mateen Bhaghani celebrates with teammates after kicking a 54-yard field goal on Oct. 4.
GINA FERAZZI Los Angeles Times
[UCLA, from B10] UCLA's special teams personnel and how the group could fare in 2026.
Before analyzing the personnel, one of the biggest additions to the unit came in special teams coordinator Drew Canan, who followed Chesney from James Madison to UCLA and has led Chesney's special teams units during the past 13 seasons.
Kicker Mateen Bhaghani is arguably one of the Bruins' returnees with the greatest influence.
He has played 34 games across two years at UCLA and one season at California in 2023. During his three-year career, Bhaghani has hit 44 of 53 of his field-goal attempts and 71 of 71 extra points.
Despite his consistency, Bhaghani was not on the 2026 Lou Groza Award preseason watch list, an honor presented annually to the best college kicker in the country.
“That motivates me, but I don’t focus on it too hard,” Bhaghani said. “Seeing those types of things, I definitely feel like I could be one of those dudes, but I kind of ignore it. And I feel like this season I’ll show why I should be on that list, if not win it.”
The San Diego native has started all 24 of UCLA's games during his two seasons in Westwood, nailing 36 of his 44 field-goal attempts, including five out of his nine attempts from at least 50 yards.
Punter Chase Barry, who spent three seasons at UCLA and one at Oklahoma State, is back in Westwood. He was Bhaghani's holder in 2024, helping the kicker hit 20 field goals, which led the Big Ten and ranked No. 11 among all kickers nationally.
As the season opener looms, Bhaghani is less focused on the technical side of his game and is placing more emphasis on sharpening the psychological side so that he can thrive under pressure.
"It's all mental. The tougher I can sharpen my mental game to where it doesn't matter what's going on around me, I can go in
there and make that kick. That's what I feel is most important," Bhaghani said. "Just being in pressure situations, it's not as much technique and tweaking stuff like that right now. I feel like that's more for the offseason. Whereas, as we get closer to the season, I just focus on hitting a pure ball and working with the operation."
Bhaghani proved his aptitude in high-pressure situations when he hit a 23-yard game-winning field goal against Maryland on Oct. 18 with two seconds remaining.
In addition to training mental toughness and familiarity with personnel, Chesney's emphasis on special teams in practice has prepared Bhaghani for a productive year heading into his senior season.
“Coach Chesney has been a blessing, special teams-wise. He's always there for me, and he has a clear line of communication in terms of where we should kick, when we should kick," Bhaghani said. "The culture that he's brought to special teams as the heartbeat of the team, it's important, and every team needs to implement that."
Bhaghani said that freshman long snapper Giancarlo Cereghino — who was tabbed as the top long snapper in his class by 247Sports — would probably be the starting long snapper on field goals, and that the first-year player had been snapping well throughout preseason.
Fifth-year long snapper Salem Abdul-Wahab will most likely handle long-snapping duties for punts after doing so in all 12 games last year.
The biggest change in the special teams department
will undoubtedly come at punter, where the Bruins lost their starter from 2025 in Will Karoll, who transferred to Texas Tech in the offseason.
Karoll punted 44 times on a 43.5-yard average, with 13 downed inside the 20-yard line and just two touch-backs.
The Bruins added Sam Houston transfer punter Curtis Gerrand, who will probably start against Cal after an impressive spring and preseason camp.
At Sam Houston, Gerrand played in all 12 games as a freshman, punting 64 times for a 43-yard average, including a long of 72 yards, and placed 22 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
Rounding out the punter room is sophomore Lennox Miller. The Sydney native did not see any game action during his freshman season at UCLA, but he was ranked as the ninth-best punter in his class by Chris Sailer Kicking and a three-star recruit by ESPN. However, Miller will again have a tough time seeing game action in 2026 with the likes of Gerrand and Barry ahead of him.
In the kicking department, following Bhaghani is freshman Mateo Orosco, who probably will not play unless Bhaghani is injured, but was praised by Chesney during preseason camp.
"These two kickers are pretty good. They're fun to watch and they're going to battle the whole way through and I'm excited to just watch," Chesney said. "You know how good Mateen is, but Mateo will be under him and watch this and follow, and just have that to learn from, it's pretty exciting to watch those two go."
Hendrick joins Bruins for practice
Former James Madison linebacker Trent Hendrick participated in football practice after joining the program Sunday.
Hendrick went un-drafted and participated in rookie minicamps with the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs, but he never signed with a team and was among a group of players cleared to return to school by a Louisiana temporary restraining order issued last week. The players argued they may not have pursued NFL options had they known current NCAA rules would grant them another year of eligibility.
It is unclear whether the restraining order will be challenged.
Chesney was excited to welcome Hendrick, the 2025 Sun Belt defensive player of the year, to Westwood.
“We don’t want to add anyone to our program. This is a guy who went through winter conditioning with our team. He was one of those team leaders who elevated everybody in the room,” Chesney said Monday. “He was also the captain of our football team and had arguably one of the best years in the history of [James Madison].”
Chesney added that Hendrick is a natural-born leader who can bring a team together. He said if things work in Hendrick's favor, he will be on the roster when the team travels to Cal for its season opener.
Chesney said UCLA faced competition landing Hendrick, but the Bruins had an impressive pitch thanks to the strength of the university.
"It's what I see from the outside and why I'm here," Chesney said. "I'm not saying all the things I usually say about this place cause I'm the head coach here. I'm the head coach here because all of those things exist. And I think a lot of players from around the country also understand that."

Watson gets nod as Browns' starter for opener
WIRE REPORTS

Deshau Watson has won the competition to be the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for the Sept. 13 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Coach Todd Monken made the announcement on Monday after informing both Watson and Shedeur Sanders.
“I took in the full body of work over the course of the offseason to training camp to the games, the joint practice, and ultimately felt like to start the season on the road, Deshaun gave us the best chance to move the ball and score points,” Monken said.
"I mean, that's really what it's about. I felt that way going into the last game, but wasn't sure. And after we talked as a staff and we re-looked at everything, we're going to go that direction."
Watson, a 10-year veteran, won the competition over Sanders as both split reps with the first unit throughout the offseason, training camp and the preseason.
The decision will not be popular with Browns fans, who have booed Watson repeatedly during his time in Cleveland, and have put a lot of support behind Sanders since he was selected last year after dropping to the fifth round.
After Sanders had a solid first half in last Saturday's 31-7 loss to Buffalo, a frustrated Watson said the boos from the crowd were “personal” and showed “disrespect” after he took the field in Cleveland for the first time in 22 months.
Monken reiterated that fan sentiment and Watson's comments did not play a role in his decision. Watson completed five of 12 passes for 36 yards and an interception while on the field with players at the bottom of the roster who likely will be cut in a couple of weeks.
Watson has started only 19 games for Cleveland since being acquired from Houston in 2022 and signing a fully guaranteed, \$230-million contract that will perhaps go down as one of the worst trades and contract in NFL history. He is 9-10 with the Browns with 19 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions and an 80.7 passer rating.
In 2022, Watson missed the first 11 games because of a league suspension resulting from his alleged sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. He made six starts in 2023 before a season-ending shoulder injury and started seven in 2024 before the first of two Achilles tendon injuries.
Steelers at impasse with Porter
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the club and Joey Porter Jr. are at an impasse as the two sides try to work out a new deal. The Steelers placed the fourth-year cornerback on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) when training camp opened with what the team described as a back problem that flared up during a mobility test.
It seems Porter's back problems are just part of the reason he has yet to take the practice field with the sea-
"I learned this in my early years as a head coach, you have to separate the business from the football," McCarthy said. "Sometimes it's easier than others."
Porter is in the final season of the four-year deal he signed after the Steelers selected him with the first pick of the second round in 2023.

Wright may join LSU after stint with the Browns
THE DAY IN SPORTS
WIRE REPORTS
After a stop in the NFL, former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright could be heading to Louisiana State thanks to a court order that is creating havoc throughout college sports by allowing Wright and others an unexpected fifth year of eligibility.
Wright's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told the Associated Press on Monday that the tight end had been waived by the Cleveland Browns and, if he clears waivers, will join Lane Kiffin's roster at No. 11 LSU.
If he joins the Tigers, Wright is believed to be the first player to return to college after playing in the NFL. He may not be the last.
At a news conference Monday, Kiffin declined to discuss any specific players, but he did say of the players in the lawsuit: "They're available to recruit. So, ourselves, like many places around the country, are recruiting them."
Wright, who didn't play in the Browns' two preseason games, was among a group of players who sued in a Louisiana court, saying a new NCAA rule granting five years of eligibility to most athletes should apply to him and others who were not “grandfathered” into the rule, which did not include those who graduated high school in 2022.

DODGERS owner Mark Walter, left, helps Shohei Ohtani put on a jersey during a news conference Dec. 14, 2023. The two-way star has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if Walter leaves.
WALLY SKALIJ Los Angeles Times
[Plaschke, from B10]
There's no process that has been started to sell [the franchise]. Period."
Period? Kasten is a busy man, and there's seemingly no way he holds even an impromptu meeting with reporters about a possible sale if that "period" wasn't a "question mark."
It is indeed a huge question mark, one that suddenly appeared less than two weeks ago when Walter stunningly sold the Lakers just 14 months after buying them.
A federal investigation into insurance companies Walter controls may have led to the Lakers sale, and there's since been plenty of confusing talk about related-party transactions and holding companies and invested assets.
Translated for Dodgers fans?
The owner of your team also owns another business facing a big legal problem that requires billions to fix. And the only way he can raise those billions is to sell his assets. And the \$2.5 billion he will receive from the Lakers flip is only a drop in the bucket.
Which means the Dodgers could be next.
There are reports that Walter is selling his shares in the Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League, but that won't cut it.
He could sell some of his smaller properties such as the WNBA's Sparks, the Cadillac Formula 1 racing team, and the entire Professional Women's Hockey League, but that might not cut it, either.
His richest, most lucrative, and perhaps most expensive property is the Dodgers. A source told The Times' Bill Shaikin they could be worth between \$10 billion and \$13 billion, which would be a record price for a baseball team.
Though no charges have been filed against Walter or anyone associated with his businesses, one could imagine Walter pulling the trigger on the Dodgers sale simply to keep the feds at bay.
"I wanted you to hear it definitively: We are not selling the Dodgers," Kasten repeated. "We are continuing with our plans going forward, like we always have had them. This comes from Mark. He's gung ho about continuing to try to win, again, including next year, subject to whatever next year's climate looks like."
This full-speed-ahead attitude by Dodgers management is what makes it so hard to imagine the team being owned by someone other than Walter.
Without Walter, there is no dynasty. Without Walter, there is no richest team in baseball. Without Walter, there is no happiest fan base in baseball.
Since Walter and his Guggenheim Baseball Management Group purchased the team in 2012, they have spared no expense in winning 12 of the past 13 National League West championships and three World Series titles.
Nobody in baseball spends like Walter, or will ever spend like Walter. From allowing the team to travel on two planes to adding baseball's highest-paid player and relief pitcher last winter — Kyle Tucker and Edwin Díaz have been busts, but there's time for redemption — nobody is willing to pay more for success than Walter.
Fans benefit from a Walter partnership on a daily basis. Witness Snell's six shutout innings against the Pirates on Sunday. The Dodgers swept the three-game weekend series against the supposed contenders behind three starting pitchers who will lead off the playoffs, yet who would not all be here if Walter didn't own the joint.
Who else could pay to acquire superstars Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Snell while building up a farm system that could produce prospects who were used to acquire Tarik Skubal?
The three starters combined to allow the Pirates just five runs in 19 innings with 26 strikeouts and five walks, and how good is that going to look in October?
While Andrew Friedman supplies the talent and Kasten works the business, none of it is possible
Well, the end might be near.
without the seemingly endless flood of money approved by Walter.
If Walter sells the team, they could possibly lose their two MVPs — Friedman and Ohtani. Unless the new owners give Friedman a piece of the team, he could set off to build another dynasty elsewhere. And Ohtani has a clause famously included in his contract that allows him to leave if either Friedman or Walter leaves. If Walter goes, Ohtani could demand a new contract with terms that a new cash-strapped owner cannot afford.
As of last week, there is so much at stake, so many reasons to worry, and even all the winning by baseball's best-run team won't offer much relief.
Now baseball's best owner is suddenly its most embattled owner, and Dodgers fans should be afraid.
Very afraid.

CHICAGO — Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after he was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter.
Freedom was sitting along the baseline. He had on a black shirt that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female."
The Fever called for a timeout after Cloud scored inside with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud then did a chest bump with teammate Aicha Coulibaly before turning around and walking in Freedom's direction.
Cloud, 34, started yelling and pointing at Freedom, 34, as she approached him. A standing Freedom held his arms out and took one step on the court as security and a handful of Sky players moved in between the two.
"There was just a fan incident and the security handled it, and we're just going to focus on the game," Chicago forward Azurá Stevens said after the Sky's 113-90 loss.
Chicago coach Tyler Marsh said Cloud was concerned about being a dis- traction for the team.
“I told her she wasn’t,” Marsh said. “I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our team and protects people that need to be protected and so Tash is always going to stand on that, and we stand for Tash.”
Freedom stopped near the basket to plead his case to security as he was escorted from the court at Wintrust Arena. He spun around while holding his shirt out and encouraged the crowd to respond as he walked toward the lobby.
"I didn't see it, we were talking about the next play in our huddle," Indiana star Caitlin Clark said, "so I think that's probably a question for Chicago."
Cloud met with team and league security after the game. She did not speak with the media.
The WNBA has been the subject of recent debates on whether transgender women — people assigned male at birth who transition to align with their gender identity — should be allowed to participate in the league. There has never been such a player in the WNBA.
Although the league's collective bargaining agreement says the WNBA is restricted to women, it contains no more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth.
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said in an ESPN profile published last month that she was opposed to transgender girls and women competing in girls' and women's sports. Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women.

Freedom joined a small rally in support of Cunningham outside the arena before the game.
Asked if he had a message for Freedom, Marsh praised the league and its players.
"If you come to a game you should probably come to enjoy the basketball," he said, "and that seems pretty simple to me. I think these players deserve that and have earned that. Being a former basketball player, you should probably understand and feel that too."

Angel City's growth difficult
[Angel City, from B10] [Angel City, from Elis] tie — Angel City (7-7-5) is a win away from matching the single-season franchise record for wins with 11 games left in the season.
Success appears near. Yet Parsons still won't be rushed, focusing more on the future than the present.
LUIZA MORAES Getty Images
SVEINDIS JONSDOTTIR, right, is part of a youth movement at Angel City and co-leads the club in scoring.
“We want to win. But we know winning can take time,” he said. “We want to win every day, every week but developing and growing and improving every day is important to us.”
The good news, Parsons said, is the foundation he and majority owners Bob Iger and Willow Bay have built is the firmest in the team's short, dysfunctional history.
Last season Parsons said he made more than 40 transactions, among them the sale of winger Alyssa Thompson to Chelsea on what could prove to be the richest transfer in NWSL history. In addition, the retirements of aging high-priced veterans Christen Press and Ali Riley freed up space both on the roster and under the league's \$3.7-million salary cap.
Under Parsons, Angel City has gone from having one of the oldest rosters in the NWSL to having the third youngest, adding 25-year-old Sveindís Jonsdottir and 22-year-old Brazilian Maiara Niehues, who share the team scoring lead with six goals apiece; and 21-year-old Evelyn Shores, who leads the team in assists with four U.S. women's national team defender Gisele Thompson, 20, is one of just two outfield players to start all 19 games this season.
Iger and Bay have also invested in the front office, doubling the sporting director's staff.
“We have a sporting strategy that is driving all major decisions,” said Parsons, who previously built struggling teams into NWSL finalists in Washington and Portland. “We know who we are in our sports strategy. We know who we are in our style of play.
"I've gone through change like this in other organizations," he added. "I've never felt more stable and clear on what we're doing and where we are and where we're going."
But the journey has been trying for the fans and players. Goalkeeper Angelina Anderson has played under five managers, including interim coaches, during her four seasons at Angel City and she said permanent change can be unsettling.
"There's just kind of a sense of instability and a little bit of, 'Here we go again,' " she said. "For a while the players struggled a little bit with, 'Hey, if this is going to keep happening, how can we trust the process?'
Anderson said each time a new coach arrived, players had to go through an adjustment period, auditioning anew for a position they already occupied while learn-
As for what went wrong with Straus, his handpicked coach, Parsons called the question “not relevant or fair.”
“Actually a lot of things did go well and did go right. Now there are new needs, new expectations, new standards,” he said.
That Angel City won just one of Straus' final eight games apparently wasn't the bar Parsons aimed for.
“We’re very, very clear how we play, the standards and behaviors we expect, and we need to see growth in that every single week. And we weren’t meeting the things that we need to meet,” Parsons said. “We moved on. The era moved

Angel City draws with Gotham FC
Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson saved a penalty kick from Guro Reiten to preserve a scoreless draw against Gotham FC at BMO Stadium on Sunday.
Initially ruled a clean block in the 82nd minute, video review reversed the call and a handball was called on Angel City defender Sarah Gorden. On the ensuing penalty kick attempt, Anderson denied Reiten.
Anderson made four saves for her sixth shutout for Angel City (7-7-5).
Ann-Katrin Berger had three saves for her 10th clean sheet of the season for Gotham (13-3-5), which is unbeaten in nine games.
Gotham midfielder Rose Lavelle landed hard with the back of her head hitting the ground in the 31st minute. Both teams had trainers evaluating the U.S. women's national team star, who left the game six minutes later.

Maybe. But what Angel City really needs now are different results, because another losing record and another season without a play-off trip won't be seen as a sign of progress no matter how much Parsons pleads for patience.

On a blistering Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 to complete a three-game sweep, but the rumblings beneath Chavez Ravine indicated there was much more at stake.
This is a solid franchise fighting for its footing. This is a powerful dynasty that could be undone by paper.
So, seriously, are the Dodgers getting sold?
Nobody knows, but a reasonable guess would be yes.
The Dodgers, of course, say no way, no how, no chance. Stan Kasten, the Dodgers' president, even met with the media Friday specifically to say it's not happening.
"The Dodgers are not being sold," Kasten said. "They're not going to be sold. They're not for sale.

ANALYSIS
UCLA coach readying specialists for critical game scenarios with drills catered to roles.
BY CONNOR DULLINGER
Games are won and lost on special teams.
Precision and execution on punts and kickoffs can pin teams in their own end zones, stopping drives before they even get started.
Electric returners can flip the field and change the trajectory of a game in one play.
And a big foot can mitigate the pressure of a two-minute drill and create scoring opportunities as far as midfield.
No one may understand that more than UCLA coach Bob Chesney, who served as the special teams coordinator at King's College from 2003 to 2004 and at Johns Hopkins from 2005 to 2008.
Chesney's emphasis on the third phase of the game followed him from his time in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to Westwood, where he incor-

Chorus is growing louder
Angel City looks to stop coaching carousel as fans become impatient
BY KEVIN BAXTER
When Mark Parsons joined Angel City as sporting director 19 months ago, the first order of business was to find a head coach. The club had fired its first two managers and was about to open training camp without one.
But for Parsons, finding the right person was more important than finding a person right now.
“Time in getting it done is not the priority,” he said then. “Getting the right person is.”
So Parsons conducted an extensive global search before settling on Alexander Straus, who had won three straight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich. Straus lasted just a year in the NWSL, losing more than twice as many games as he won.
Now, $2^{1/2}$ months after firing Straus, Parsons is deep into another coaching search. And once again, he won't be rushed.
"I don't want to put a date on this," he said. "Finding that person's the priority. But getting to the right answer is the most important."

MARK PARSONS has previously built two NWSL finalists, and the sporting director cites the strong foundation set by owners.
Time may be running short for Angel City. With a large, deep-pocketed ownership group headed by World Cup champions and A-list Hollywood celebrities, Angel City has been the NWSL's most valuable and most visible team since entering the league in 2022. But those resources have bought just one playoff berth and one winning season. As a result, fans are losing patience, one reason why attendance has plummeted nearly 20% over the past two seasons.
Since Straus was sacked in mid-June, however, the team has lost just once in eight matches under interim coach Leif Gunnar Smerud, pulling to within one spot and three points of a playoff berth. With Sunday's scoreless draw with league-leading Gotham FC — n's fourth consecutive [See Angel City, B9]

porates special team peri-ods throughout every prac-tice.

ANGELS third baseman Denzer Guzman, left, tags out Cleveland's José Ramírez in a rundown during the third inning of Angels' 4-2 loss Monday at Angel Stadium.
Adell topples former team in Angels' loss
WIRE REPORTS
Parker Messick pitched six innings of one-run ball and Austin Hedges, a JSerra High alum, hit a two-run homer in the Cleveland Guardians' 4-2 victory over the Angels on Monday night.
Jo Adell hit a go-ahead single for the Guardians against his former team. Messick (10-8) gave up three hits, struck out four and walked one while extending to nine his string of consecutive starts with two or fewer runs yielded.
Through 26 starts, the rookie left-hander has a 2.50 ERA with 156 strikeouts in 155 innings.
Colin Holderman struck out three of four batters in the seventh. Hunter Gaddis tossed a scoreless eighth and Cade Smith gave up a run in the ninth before earning his 34th save.
Cleveland won its fifth straight and pulled within $2^{1/2}$ games of the first-place Chicago White Sox in the American League Central.
Angels rookie George Klassen (2-2) gave up three runs — two earned — and six hits in $5^{1/3}$ innings.
Adell, acquired from the Angels on Aug. 3, broke a 1-1 tie with a two-out single in the fifth — his 13th RBI in six games. Hedges made it 4-1 with a two-out homer off reliever Blake Weiman in the sixth.
The Angels pulled to 4-2 on Gustavo Campero's sacrifice fly in the ninth, but Christian Moore flied out to the left-center warning track with a runner on for the final out.
Messick retired his first nine batters before Zach Neto and Mike Trout opened the fourth with singles. Neto went to third on Trout's hit, and Trout took second on the throw.
Trout was caught off the bag on Vaughn Grissom's hard grounder to second but stayed in a rundown long enough for Grissom to reach second.
Moisés Ballesteros dunked an RBI single into center for a 1-1 tie, advancing Grissom to third.
Cleveland took a 1-0 lead in the third when Steven Kwan and José Ramírez singled, Adell walked and Nathaniel Lowe hit a sacrifice fly.
Marte could return to Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks hope three-time All-Star Ketel Marte will return to their lineup next week, roughly two weeks after his unexpected disappearance from the team before a game in Boston.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday the team's plan is for the second baseman to return for a home series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which starts on Aug. 31. Marte was initially put on the restricted list after his disappearance, but then moved to the 10-day injured list with mild inflammation in his left knee.
“That's what we're thinking about,” Lovullo said. “I think that will be the 10th day or the 11th day, so there is definitely a strategy to get him back on the field, get him healthy.”
Lovullo said Marte started taking batting practice Monday at the team's facility in Scottsdale and hitting coach Joe Mather was encouraged by his progress.
The 32-year-old Marte still hasn't addressed his teammates about why he left them in the middle of a playoff race. The Diamondbacks came into Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs with a 69-62 record, two games behind the San Diego Padres for the final National League wild-card spot.
It's the second straight year Marte has gone AWOL from the team. Last season, he went on the restricted list when his home in Arizona was broken into during the All-Star break. He missed three games after flying back to his home in the Dominican Republic and later apologized for his absence.
Lovullo said Marte is very private and the team would figure out the right time for him to address his teammates.
“We’re trying to create the softest space for him to reemerge back in this environment,” Lovullo said. “That’s up to him however he wants to do it.
"One of the things that makes Ketel such an extraordinary player is he goes to the beat of his own drum. I respect that."
Lovullo also addressed the concern that Marte might receive a less-than-warm reception from Diamondbacks fans when he returns.
“Ketel is a very loving young man,” Lovullo said. “I don’t want [booing] to happen. I understand it’s a possibility it could happen, but we’ll all rally around him.”
Reese sets WNBA rebound record with 26 in win over Sparks
WIRE REPORTS
Angel Reese broke the WNBA single-game rebounding record with 26 while also breaking the league's season record for rebounds as the Atlanta Dream beat the Sparks 78-71 on Monday night.
Reese surpassed Chamique Holdsclaw's record of 24 rebounds, set on May 23, 2003, for Washington.
The Dream star has 458 rebounds this season, seven more than A'ja Wilson's mark set in 2024. Atlanta still has six games remaining in the regular season.
“Last time I was here, I didn't miss any shots,” Reese told the postgame show. “Tonight I couldn't hit [anything] so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side. I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win.”
Reese finished with 11 points. She secured her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season on a basket with 13.9 seconds left in the game.
Nneka Ogwumike had 27 points and 16 rebounds for the Sparks (13-25), who have lost nine straight games in the series. Dearica Hamby and Cameron Brink each scored 15 points.
Gray led Atlanta (25-13) with 20 points. Rhyne Howard added 18 points to eclipse 3,000 for her career. Gray set an Atlanta record for field goals in a season with 247.

Atlanta trailed 37-36 at halftime before starting the third quarter on a 9-2 run. The Dream also began the fourth on a 9-2 run to make it 71-57 with 6:57 left.
DREAM FORWARD Angel Reese, right, drives to the basket against the Sparks' Cameron Brink. Reese broke two WNBA rebounding records in Atlanta's 78-71 win Monday at Crypto.com Arena.

Golden State (26-11) entered 0-9 against Minnesota in the regular season and playoffs since joining the WNBA in 2025.
Ex-NBA players not eligible for WNBA draft
Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are not eligible for the WNBA draft, a person familiar with the decision said Monday.
The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation. The person didn't elaborate on the reasons for declaring the two men ineligible.
Freedom and White have declared their intention to enter next year's draft, but the WNBA has not publicly addressed their eligibility.
The WNBA has been the subject of recent debates on whether transgender women — people assigned male at birth who transition to align with their gender identity — should be allowed to participate in the league. There has never been such a player in the WNBA.
Although the league's collective bargaining agreement says the WNBA is restricted to women, it contains no more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth. When they announced their intention to enter the draft, Freedom and White said they identified as women.
The 6-foot-10, 250-pound Freedom played 11 seasons in the NBA.
White played in three NBA games.
Freedom was ejected from Sunday night's Indiana-Chicago game after he was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud late in the third quarter.
Freedom was sitting along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.”
The Fever called a timeout after Cloud scored with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud then did a chest bump with teammate Aicha Coulibaly before turning around and walking in Freedom's direction.
Cloud, 34, started yelling and pointing at Freedom, 34, as she approached him. A standing Freedom held his arms out and took one step on the court as security and a handful of Sky players moved in between the two.
"I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN!" Freedom wrote on social media Sunday night. "Let that sink in, AMERICA!"
Cloud did not speak with reporters postgame.
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said in an ESPN profile last month that she was opposed to transgender girls and women competing in girls' and women's sports, and since then, the league has been embroiled in debates about transgender participation.

Female comedy from the bros
But at least the cast runs rings around an exhausted screenplay in ‘Spa Weekend.’
It would be great if “The Hangover” screenwriters-turned-directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore would leave moms well enough alone. After the one-two punch of 2016’s “Bad Moms” and 2017’s “A Bad Moms Christmas” (both bad comedies), they’ve returned with “Spa Weekend,” which isn’t about bad moms but good moms who could stand to be a little bad.

A HOT TIME AT JUST LIKE HEAVEN
The blistering sun made for a restless crowd at the Pasadena festival celebrating indie rock of the early aughts, but the bands were on fire. Here are our top six.
By Julius Miller
The first Just Like Heaven festival arrived in 2019, bolstered by strong headliners MGMT, Phoenix, Beach House and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. After a brief hiatus due to the 2020 pandemic, the event returned in
2022 with Interpol, Modest Mouse, the Shins and M.I.A.
Since then, the Goldenvoice festival focused on early aughts indie rock has become a staple, popping up annually at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
For Saturday's installment, the self-proclaimed “carefully curated celebration” produced a somewhat underwhelming set of undercards, with LCD Soundsystem and the Strokes carrying the momentum for the entire affair.
With roasting summer heat reaching 95 degrees, event organizers set up misting fans and cooling buses to serve as a haven for festivalgoers. Refillable water stations were provided at each of the two stages and lined the fences between.
Even so, the blistering Pasadena sun produced an unusually hostile crowd environment. At the VIP barrier of the Orion Stage, a set of fans planted their flag early on. For hours, they stood unbothered — and then LCD Soundsystem took the stage.
During the set, swaths of fans attempted to crawl forward, desperate to be in sight of
KIM of Matt & Kim takes the stage, above, and George Clanton appeared with TV Girl (after “some back and forth with his agent,” the band joked).
James Murphy. Arguments broke out, the crowd rumbled, and one younger woman suggested that an ill-tempered intruder needed to “dance herself clean.”
Meanwhile, those at the back of the “Clubhouse” tier danced freely in yards of open space, twirling, to the dismay of the onlooking VIP crowd. That same space in front of the VIP barrier remained empty throughout the festival until the Strokes took the stage around 9:50 p.m.
As one security guard confessed to those checking to see if their VIP wristbands granted them access to the coveted Clubhouse lawn, "I wish I could let you all in."

It was the first night of KCON—a three-day festival of Korean pop culture, held every year since 2013—and on Aug. 14, Santos Bravos became the first Latin American act ever to grace the bill.
Despite the band having debuted less than a year ago, the crowd was buzzing with excitement, but its energy heightened as the slashing knife sounds of "Hooligan," a song off BTS' latest hit album, "Arirang," began to ring out. Because of their popularity, BTS songs are frequently covered by groups at KCON, but newcomers Santos Bravos, who are under the same parent label, Hybe, had more to prove to this audience.
SANTOS BRAVOS became the first Latin American act to play at the festival of Korean pop culture. Their cover of BTS' "Hooligan" drew roars from the crowd.

“Hooligan” was produced by Spanish producers Fakeguido and El Guincho (who worked on two records with Rosalía), as well as South Korean producer Ghstloop and American producer Jasper Harris. The multicultural song, with lyrics in both Korean and English, was an apt choice for Santos Bravos — between the five members, they speak and sing in three languages and represent [See Santos, E2]

While we might look to other eras, or, you know, epochs (hi, Paleo people) for wellness inspiration, none is quite as dramatic and as "Princess Bride"-esque as L.A.'s fencing community. At its center is Swordplay LA. The Burbank-area club is sporty but approachable, leaning into fencing's cultural impact — and its fantasy — by extending a pointed invitation (see what I did there?) to make friends, be merry and break a sweat.
Since the 12th century BC, fencing has been a source of both combat and entertainment. Egyptians in antiquity engaged in sword combat for warfare, but also for competition — Romans utilized swords in gladiator events, rituals and duels. During the Renaissance, Italians refined fencing into its modern form, and soon fencing schools began popping up all over Europe. Fast forward to the 1800s, when fencing's popularity was so widespread that it became one of the five original games at the 1896 Olympics, where it continues to be a beloved summer event.
And yes, while the Olympics are one point of public familiarity, that's just one small part of our collective cultural consciousness around the sport.
ALEX Blugerman suits up with protective gear.
“Everyone has some kind of relationship to fencing,” said Mary Sola Spohn, the owner of Swordplay LA. “It’s mostly like, ‘my kid saw this movie,’ or ‘I love this character.’ It’s the stories around fencing that bring people in.”
Spohn cites “Game of Thrones,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Star Wars” and even “The Parent Trap” as some of the more popular cultural inspirations for newbies. While clearly rooted in some serious history and tradition, according to Spohn, fencing's representation in media is its most powerful draw.
“And ‘Wednesday,’ ” Spohn adds, of the influx of interest after the Netflix series debuted. “I’m not gonna say that ‘Wednesday,’ you know, saved the day, but it is very interesting how certain things in pop culture kind of influence the interest level.”
Spohn should know. As a 7-year-old, she was mesmer-
ized by the swordplay in "Hook" and "Peter Pan." A native Angeleno, she started taking classes at Swordplay LA and soon became a nationally-ranked fencing youth. She participated in the U.S. Olympic trials and was recruited to Northwestern University's Division I fencing team. After college, she worked as a stunt actor, fight choreographer and action designer specializing in European weapons. Spohn was training famous actors, athletes and Olympians (one of her favorite experiences was teaching Charlize Theron rapier for the film "Old Guard 2") when she was given the opportunity to own the very business where her love of the sport began — and she took it.
Seven years later, Spohn is less interested in high competitive stakes than she is in fostering an all-inclusive, supportive community for her students at Swordplay LA. Participants come from all over Los Angeles and range in age from 7 to 85

years old. And she's succeeded: Nearly 170 members and hundreds of classes later, Swordplay LA is now one of the longest established fencing clubs in Los Angeles, with diversified offerings like stunts, pro wrestling and historical European martial arts (or HEMA, for short) that offer some of the most unique workouts in the city.
Entering Swordplay LA's large Burbank headquarters, I was worried I was in over my head. Like many beginners, I had no idea about the reality of fencing: the rigorousness, the gear, the clientele. Would I be the only woman there? Would I injure myself, or someone else? Should I have dressed preppier, like the quick-reflexed, collegiate fencing villains in the movies?
Immediately, my worries were assuaged — there were, in fact, women there. There was also a weapons wall, "Game of Thrones"-style wood accents and a prominently placed map of Middle-earth. While it's definitely sporty, Spohn has carefully curated Swordplay LA's atmosphere to be about storytelling — acknowledging the books, TV and films that inspire the club's clientele.
“I put a lot of thought into the way this place looks and feels. I wanted it to still feel like an athletic facility, but with a creative, artistic side to it. Leaning into what brings people here,” she said.
Everyone was extremely friendly and on the fashion front, no popped collars in sight — only gym clothes and cool-looking fencing gear: mask, chest protector and underarm protector.
I did, in fact, feel cool when I put on said gear. I felt even cooler holding my sword, knees bent, feet wide, ready and waiting in my “advance” stance.
While we see lots of depictions of fencing, the rules are, in fact, fairly intuitive: Staying in the narrow playing area, or “piste,” two athletes wield their swords, trying to be the first to make contact with the other while avoiding being hit (and yes, you do get to shout “en garde,” before you advance). Like yoga or dance, the experience is a workout that feels in alignment with the body’s natural movements, at an intensity appropriate to wielding an ancient weapon.
“There are so many natural elements to it,” Spohn assured me during our lesson. “You know, in a very basic sense, how to hold it, what to do with the sword. Everyone has a vision of what that looks and feels like, and people get it.”
At the end of our 30-minute intro class, we actually engaged in combat. Empowered, I leaned in, like a sweaty extra in Nolan's "The Odyssey," feeling none of the danger but all of the drama.
Vibe: Boxing gym meets "Game of Thrones."
Effort: It's an hourlong full-body workout that, for beginners, can be a bit more intense on the hands and wrists; the gear can be hot and take some getting used to. But the combat happens in short spurts, allowing a fair amount of downtime for recuperation, conversation and enjoyment of the sport.
X factor: It's uniquely cool to be wielding weapons with so much history, whose use has been perfected over thousands of years. There's also an immense amount of drama to the sport; leaning into that truly transports the student away from a club experience and into a kind of delicious, LARP-y fugue state.
Latin American boy band wins hearts at KCON
L.A. County.
several Latin cultures.
For BTS fans, nothing less than near the performance level of the superstar group is acceptable. But as Santos Bravos sang the opening verses in English, the crowd roared with approval — especially as lead vocalist Kauê Penna, who hails from Brazil, slid on-stage to take on the high parts of BTS lead Jungkook.
While artists from different backgrounds working together is nothing new, Santos Bravos, like the Hybe x Geffen girl group Katseye, are part of an effort to bring K-pop training, marketing methods and fandom culture to other regions of the globe.
Off the global success of BTS, Hybe evolved from a midsize label into one of the biggest music and entertainment players in South Korea. Santos Bravos operates under a division called Hybe Latin America, which is based out of Mexico City, where the band calls home. They are the first Hybe group to be based in a region outside of the United States or Asia.
Selected from 17 finalists on a 2025 competition reality show called “Santos Bravos — La Serie,” the contestants had vied to become part of Santos Bravos. Along the way, they received feedback and coaching from Son Sung-deuk, BTS’ former longtime choreographer and performance director. They also worked closely with Miami-based Cuban American choreographer Cultura, who has worked with Maluma, J Balvin, and Karol G, among others.
The final five debuted as a group at the show's finale in October 2025, where they performed before an audience of 10,000 at the Auditorio Nacional Mexico. Santos Bravos' members are Penna, 19, from São João de Meriti, Brazil; Kenneth Lavill, 16, from Veracruz, Mexico; Gabi Bermúdez, 21, from San Juan, Puerto Rico; Alejandro Aramburú, 22, of Lima, and Drew Venegas, 26, from
The selected members were no starry-eyed amateurs: Both Lavill and Aramburú were professional actors in their countries, while the honey-voiced Penna won the fifth season of “The Voice Kids, Brasil” in 2020. Bermúdez, the effusive mood-lifter of the group, was gunning for a career as a soloist when he entered the ring. Venegas, a dance specialist who had performed as a backup dancer for BTS, had a brief stint as a member of the Future X, a co-ed group formed by Simon Fuller that featured members of the queer community.
ARWEN CLEMANS Los Angeles Times
Not even a year into their formation, Santos Bravos topped Billboard's new Latin music poll. In January, they performed alongside Mon Laferte and Feid in Willy Chavarria's Paris runway show, "Eterno." In June, their debut EP, "Dual," made it as high as No. 17 on the Billboard Top Latin Pop Albums chart. That same month, the group won its first award, the fan-voted artist duo or group at the 2026 Premios Tu Música Urbano Mix.
SANTOS BRAVOS, performing Aug. 13 at KCON in Los Angeles, operates under the Latin American division of K-pop label Hybe, based in Mexico City. They're the first Hybe group to come from outside the U.S. or Asia.
“We're very disciplined,” said Venegas, who called West Covina home before joining the band. I met the band inside the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday, after their KCON breakout moment.
"One day of training was equivalent to one week of training," he added. "I think combining all of our cultures together, then keeping our Latin essence with the K-pop methodology, [brings] something very new and very fresh for the eye."
Although the group doesn't perform in Korean — unless it's for fun — they cater to K-pop fans, which is easy to do since they too are K-pop fans. They've paid a visit to the Hybe headquarters in Seoul, collaborated with bands like Le Sserafim and BoyNextDoor and livestreamed to fans via Hybe's proprietary social platform Weverse. They've even performed on Korean television.
But for the members of Santos Bravos, the cultural exchange goes beyond marketing.
“In Mexico,” Venegas said, “when you’re eating we say, ‘Buen provecho,’ which is like ‘Enjoy your food,’ No matter who it is, no matter who you’re walking by. Food is a big part of acknowledging somebody, and that’s what we have in [common with Korean culture].”
Mostly talking to each other in Spanish — both Venegas and Penna learned to speak it as a second language — they occasionally forget which language they are speaking to each other in.
“Sometimes I find myself talking to Kenneth or Kauê in English when I don't need to,” interjected the soft-spoken Aramburú, who plays the guitar — and, in between his shifts as a pop star, is finishing up his music degree at USC.
"The fact that we learn so many languages opens so many doors for us," Aramburú said. "Personally, wherever we go, I love to learn the language. I'm on Duolingo learning Korean right now."
Penna sees language as a way to not only open doors for Latin artists, but also reach people through their
music.
“Thank God Latin America is being watched,” said Penna. “You know, people can see what we’re doing, and people also are interested in in our languages, in our culture. And in every country we [visit], we try to learn as much as possible about the culture. Now we’re focusing on Portuguese”—a language they test-drove in the song “Velocidade”—“and of course, English.”
Venegas has found that his experience as a Mexican American who didn't grow up speaking Spanish resonates with some people.
"There were a couple of fans who came up to me who were of Mexican descent, but they didn't get the chance to learn like me growing up," he said. "And immediately, they were at a loss for words and kind of filled with emotions. I started getting emotional because I can feel the heartache and ... feeling scared, like you don't belong ... and that's what I felt like. Being able to speak with them and hear what they say made me feel like I'm not alone and like I do matter. Hearing, 'OK you didn't grow up getting spoken to in Spanish, but you were still called mijo like I was called mijo.'"
Asked why some people struggle to grasp multiracial Latino identity — Cardi B is brought up as an example — Penna weighed in.
“Being in Santos Bravos as an Afro Latino is something so important to me,” said Penna. “I feel like this ‘thing’ of being this or being that.... It’s just cultural differences. I’m also working to understand how another culture sees me. As Brazilians, we are very mixed. Of course, I have my Afro side, my mom’s side, I have my Indigenous side.... but of course, I am very open and very proud [with] what I’m representing in Santos Bravos.”
“People in general like to categorize,” said Bermúdez, who grew up idolizing Puerto Rican singer Chayanne. Raised in Puerto Rico by parents with both Boricuan and Cuban heritage, Bermúdez bristles at attempts to divide Latinos.
“We as Santos Bravos want to transmit to the world that Latin America is one,” he said
On the Monday after KCON, I met up a second time with the members of Santos Bravos, who were milling about in the Hybe America offices in Santa Monica. Venegas scrolled through his phone while Penna shuffled past us to grab a drink from the office fridge. I ask whether he's tired. "A little" he replies, but he's good.
Upstairs, walking past a large poster of BTS, I met with Juanse Arenas, president of Hybe Global Label Services, who promotes artists outside of their home markets. He said the company looked closely at data and research when conceptualizing the group.
“Mexican regional music became really big, Bad Bunny himself went global,” Arenas said. “You have Karol G, J Balvin, all these massive artists who come from our countries. Latin music is no longer just Latin; it’s global, right? Now, there is a methodology that exists in K-pop that has produced very successful groups. But you can’t just apply that methodology blindly to new regions and to new places — you have to [consider] where the members are coming from, what makes them tick, what drives them and the audience they’re speaking to.”
After posing for individual promo portraits, they gathered for a group photo before singing an a cappella version of the uptempo ballad "MHM" for social content. They also greeted their fans on the Weverse livestream, where they expressed sadness over leaving L.A.
“Nos vamos pronto de L.A., mi gente,” said Lavíll to fans. “Y estamos tristes.”

CONAN O'BRIEN gets the feel for Bollywood musical numbers in India in the new season of his travel show.
Working abroad to make every culture laugh
'Conan O'Brien Must Go's' Mike Sweeney on how comedy travels
As a member of the growing subgenre of celebrity travelogue, Conan O'Brien has cuddled with Javier Bardem in Spain, dressed up as Sigmund Freud in Vienna and faced off against a Muay Thai fighter in Thailand.
The new season of “Co-nan O’Brien Must Go” has the frequent flier funnyman visiting India, the Netherlands, Morocco and the Philippines — meeting his international fans and testing how well his improvisational humor translates. His longtime collaborator Mike Sweeney, co-writer and director on every episode, spoke to The Times about this season’s locations and O’Brien’s SPF needs.
The series is a chance for Conan to interact with international fans, particularly those that have been on the podcast. Why do you think Conan's style of humor travels so well?
He's fearless. I think that helps. He genuinely loves people, and he has to make people laugh. He has to make people laugh all the time in the United States. And then if you put him in another country, he's going to figure out how to get his laughs over there, even if no one speaks English. It's literally like being thrown in a room where he's got to find his oxygen, and he's gonna find it by getting laughs everywhere he goes. I'm sure the fact we have a camera with us, people are curious. They tend to attract people who want to open up and play around. People can spot him from a mile away. That also helps. That's another key to a good travel show — have a really tall orange-haired host.
The first episode is set in India. Things start with him trying to get on a crowded commuter train. What were some moments from that episode that stand out to you?
Yes, we wanted to go in the famous Mumbai commuter trains. Boy, the amount of red tape to get permission to even go down on the platform was crazy. We had to do it several months out. But we loved that [segment]. We loved playing street cricket. He had a young man teaching him, named Veer [Pandey], who was very funny and kind of dismissive of Conan, and that's kind of Conan's sweet spot.
Some countries have incredible restrictions — you might need permits to talk to people in the street,
By Yvonne Villarreal
you're dealing with curveballs. And a lot of what Conan does is improvised and you don't want rules to get in the way. How do you deal with that?
It varies from country to country. You get a feel for it early on and go, "Oh, we need to figure things out far in advance here." You're getting to a very important point, which is: How much red tape is there in each country? India — a ton. We knew that because we almost shot there in 2018 [for “Conan Without Borders”] and it fell through ultimately because of all this red tape. We knew we really had to have a running start with India. But the Philippines, they were pretty cool. Same with the Netherlands. You know what the big issue is nowadays? Drones, where they let you shoot with drones.
What's it like doing a travel show as the current administration puts stress on international relations?
Did you notice any shifts this season on how you were either received or what's possible to get cleared because you're an American show?
Not overtly. Nothing was represented as like, "Oh, you want to come shoot here? Well, we'll teach you a lesson." I'd say really surprisingly, it was business as usual in terms of getting permissions to shoot. What's going on in the crazy United States really wouldn't come up that much because the things we're doing are apolitical, which is usually how we like to do it. It's Conan connecting with people and, in a way, be a political statement because it comes down to respecting other cultures and wanting to learn about other cultures and bridging gaps that way.
There was that moment on the commuter train where a passenger rebuffs Conan by saying, “Fake a—liberal media.” And Conan just rolls with it.
Yes, it's just like, "Oh, they they even have people calling stuff out like that over here." It was almost like, "OK, I feel at home. Thank you."
We all saw that Conan, famous for his red pompadour hairstyle, recently made headlines for a slick, oily hairdo, which was the result of a severe scalp sunburn. In the Morocco episode, there's a sun-heavy segment. Were you worried about his scalp then? How much budget goes to Conan's SPF needs?
He's self-regulating because he has to be that way in California. He has to be that way on a cloudy day in Cape Cod. It's just ingrained in him, his sun protection. I don't even think about it. It was business as usual for him in Morocco.
What's a show you're currently obsessed with or recommending to people?
We loved “Widow’s Bay” [Apple TV], of course. I sound like everyone else, but also Katie Dippold is great. She was an intern at “Co-nan,” and I’ve seen her a few times because we kind of lived near each other in Los Feliz. But she’s just delightful. We’re so happy for her, and plus that show was just amazing. And my wife and I dipped back into “Slow Horses.”

VINCE VALITUTTI Black Bear
ISLA FISHER, left, Leslie Mann, Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris star in “Spa Weekend,” from the duo behind “The Hangover” and “Bad Moms” franchises.
A quartet of comedy experts gets unwell at wellness retreat
['Spa Weekend,' from E1] friends: workaholic lawyer Jane (Leslie Mann), bitter divorceé Coco (Michelle Buteau) and people-pleasing pushover Sophie (Anna Faris).
Mel might be a disaster with her loud mouth and impolite antics, but her over-the-top meddling does her buddies some good. She helps uptight Jane hook up with a hunky yoga instructor (Adam Demos), gets Sophie fired from her toxic job and lures Coco's ex-husband, Roger (Dominic Ona-Ariki), to the resort for a little reconciliation. Her friends are furious, but while they might not get what they want (relaxation), they get what they need (liberation). All it took was some coke and strippers (Lucas and Moore have a bizarre fixation on moms and male strippers).
“Spa Weekend” is built around the same fearsome foursome ethos as shows like “Sex and the City” and “Girls,” with several different character types and lots of available friction between them. More recently, golden-years comedies like “Book Club,” “80 for Brady” and way too many movies starring the late Diane Keaton have sent friend groups on journeys that have them re-evaluating relationships and life goals. Romantic, criminal and naughty hijinks ensue and bonds are tested — and ultimately reinforced. Roll the blooper reel.
often put themselves last and “Spa Weekend” is an argument for them to come first. It’s a film about embracing the craziest friends because they bring excitement to an otherwise boring and overscheduled life. All of these things are true. They’re just executed here with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. In case we didn’t get it, these themes and lessons are spoken out loud by Jane in big declarative speeches.
One of the most distracting things about “Spa Weekend” is its uncanny geography. It’s set in Los Angeles, but the cafés and shops are obviously not local and the worst, most dated stock L.A. traffic footage can’t cover that up.
You know what? Fine. It's true that working moms
They drive what seems to be about 45 minutes to the resort, through wooded forests on windy roads, and arrive in a tropical location overlooking miles of white sandy beach. At one point, Jane claims they're 100 miles away from home. Ain't no way this is Encinitas. Nothing about it makes sense until the credits roll and you learn the film was shot en-
'Spa Weekend'
Rated: R, for language throughout, sexual material and some drug use Running time: 1 hour, 37 minutes Playing: In wide release tirely in Queensland, Australia. But if one's thinking about the geography that much, it means the story isn't all that compelling.
Call it nitpicking, but it's indicative of how much care and craft — or how little — goes into a movie like this, aimed at female audiences. Much like the “Bad Moms” movies, “Spa Weekend” isn't insightful, isn't interesting and isn't funny. It's condescending and hacky and the humor always aims for the lowest common denominator. Please don't expect me to laugh at the goats from goat yoga rampaging through a hotel lobby or a high-speed golf cart chase. Guess what? Mel has brought a suitcase full of dildos.
Worse than tired gags, we don't get a sense of who these women really are in relationship to themselves or other women. We only know them through the prism of men: Jane lusts after Yoga Dude, Coco rages at Roger, Sophie is bullied by her boss. We know nothing about them outside of their superficial signifiers.
That's why Fisher's Mel feels so radical. She might be a grifter and a liar (a vastly underexplored subplot), but she has fully decentered men — so hard that no rule of polite society can hold her. If that's a disaster, sign me up. But please don't let Lucas and Moore make more comedies for women. They can stick to the frat houses and bachelor parties they're used to.

Stirring look at U.S. physicians trying to do good work in Gaza
Three doctors treat war casualties while forcefully speaking about human tragedy.
Most documentaries urge you to not turn away from the horrors they chronicle, but few make that request as explicitly as “American Doctor.”
Watermelon Pictures
FEROZE SIDHWA, center, performs an operation in the documentary. He projects a calm confidence.
Near the start of her despondent film, director Poh Si Teng spends time with Mark Perlmutter, a North Carolina surgeon who, like Teng's other subjects, volunteers in Gaza, treating the many who have been severely injured in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Furious at the attacks on innocent Palestinian children, Perlmutter shows Teng photos of dead bodies. She says she may need to blur them for the movie. Perlmutter becomes indignant: "You're not doing them a service by not showing them," he says. "You have the responsibility, as I do, to tell the truth."
Teng does reveal those stark faces and much more
— not just the terrible human toll of Israel's shelling of the Palestinian territories but also the strain on the doctors fighting to save lives while spreading the word about the atrocities they've witnessed.
Perlmutter, who is Jewish, is one of three American physicians at the center of Teng's documentary. The other two are Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian, and Feroze Sidhwa, who is Zoroastrian. Each of them resides in the U.S. but is drawn to lending a hand at Gazan hospitals — when they're allowed entry into the region. (Because of Ahmad's Palestinian heritage, he's been barred by the Israeli government.) As part of their humanitarian efforts, Perlmutter and his colleagues go on Western media, such as CNN, to decry the conditions of the Palestinian people. They are often met with resistance, if not outright hostility. The casualties keep piling up, and nobody outside the walls of the hospital seems to care.
Teng, who produced the 2019 Oscar-nominated documentary short “St. Louis Superman,” a portrait of a Black activist, again ponders

how much any one person can do to bring about change. She gracefully balances a three-pronged character study and a larger examination of the unending war. We come to admire Ahmad, Perlmutter and Sidhwa, but Teng provides just enough shading so that subtle cultural tensions between the men start to emerge.
That strain is evident during the bighearted but strident Perlmutter's impolitic media appearances, in which he brandishes impassioned criticism of Zionism that angers the Palestinian Ahmad. "We'll be guilty by association and we'll just get crushed for it," he worries. It's a documentary with a paucity of inspirational moments. Teng and her subjects are embedded in a world of tough choices and grim conditions.
With Ahmad largely sidelined in the U.S., though still advocating for the Palestinian people, Sidhwa becomes "American Doctor's" most striking figure. Armed with an eloquent, righteous fury, he speaks to journalists with a stirring moral authority. Teng mostly avoids on-camera interviews with her subjects, preferring to watch them interacting with patients or in the operating room. We come to know Sidhwa, who projects a calm confidence, even when he's nearly killed by a missile.
But his self-assurance is intriguingly undercut during an unguarded exchange in which he acknowledges that no prospective romantic partner has been comfortable with his desire to keep returning to Gaza. "I think I'm just probably a hard person to get along with," he admits, laughing. "I wish I could blame the fact that no woman can put up with me on the Israel-Palestine conflict, but I don't think that's the issue."
There are myriad ways to document the violence in Gaza, and it's telling that Teng includes only a very brief news clip of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the phantom figures hovering far above the film's unfolding tragedy, even though they are among its chief architects. Instead, "American Doctor" focuses on the micro, giving voice to the doctors and caregivers who traditionally have been spared during armed conflicts, as laid out by the Geneva Conventions. In defiance of such norms, though, Israel's government seems to be targeting hospitals, creating psychic wounds alongside mass casualties.
A closing text card indicates that more than 1,700 healthcare workers have died in Gaza, laying culpability at the feet of Israel and the U.S. But it's a testament to the physicians featured in "American Doctor" that none of them would suggest that this is the greatest crime occurring in the region. We observe them lamenting how powerless they feel: Their medical skills do some good, but not enough. When they return to America, they agonize over their guilt at not being able to do more — and what of Gaza will remain when they get back.

HOROSCOPE
By Holiday Mathis
Aries (March 21-April 19): Mistakes are inevitable. If you learn from them, they're called an education. Some lessons take longer to learn.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Spending time on your spiritual life lifts your physical health, and caring for your body deepens your spiritual life.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): People who fully appreciate how much responsibility leadership carries are less eager to seek power for its own sake.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Some experiences make perfect sense only after you've lived through them.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll solve a human puzzle. You keep observing until the pattern clicks. Once you understand their motive, you know how to deal with them.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
If you only knew the depth of pure love directed at you on a regular basis, all life's irritations would be swept away by the mighty current of this profound truth.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): While it may seem unfair that someone so easily accomplishes the thing you've been struggling to do, it also doesn't matter in the least.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Worry is a form of time travel — jumping to a possible future to check out the losses, then borrow a bit of the bad feeling to bring back home. Skip the trip today.
COMICS
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Identity is a story we tell ourselves about who we are. When it's your story, you have the artistic license to craft it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have your reasons for doing things your way, even when you don't know what they are.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You settle into a remarkably even temper and attitude as you embody this truth.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The choices most people around you are making might be fine for them, but not for you.
Today's birthday (Aug. 25): It's your Year of Sweet Reverberations, when the goodness you've been pouring into the world catches up to you, giving you what you most desire and also what you need going forward: vitality, resources and people around you who support your favorite version of yourself. More highlights: love's fever. A big money deal. A hard asset or intellectual property becomes much more valuable — a game changer. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Lucky numbers: 7, 5, 25, 10 and 14.

Cy the Cynic says statements with “Please don’t take this the wrong way” have a zero-percent success rate. When Cy was North in my club’s penny game, he watched South go down at 3NT. West led a spade: five, jack, king. South then took the A-K of clubs. When East threw a diamond, declarer lost a club to West’s queen. He ducked West’s return of the queen of spades and won the third spade but had only eight tricks. West got in with his ace of hearts to cash two spades. “Please don’t take this the wrong way,” Cy said to his partner, “but your play was wrong.”
“What do you mean?” South growled. “I would usually make overtricks.” South

We had three kids younger than 15. I was devastated but I had to keep going to maintain some normalcy for them. I went back to school, got a job, sent kids to college, et cetera.
Then came a bombshell a few years ago. My youngest said I have never been there for her, that I only communicate with her with small talk and that emails are just a place for me to tell her what I've been doing. (Isn't that what emails are for?)
CROSSWORD
She said I didn't tell her I loved her, didn't help enough with her wedding, used her kids for Facebook posts, that I favored one child over her and that I don't visit her and her family enough. (I live more than 1,200 miles away). She says she's so happy that her mother-in-law is there for her since I'm not.
She says our relationship is only skin-deep and that's not what she wants. She's happy with her little bubble of friends.

No matter what I say or do, it's wrong and she tears into me again. I think a lot of this is coming from her "therapist."
UNWELCOME MOTHER
Dear Mother: I'm sorry for the terrible loss you experienced and I'm sorry you're navigating this traumatic period with your daughter. It's possible that some of this is a result of unresolved grief with which she's struggling, but it's hard to tell since she won't engage with you.
should lead a heart at Trick Two; if dummy's jack wins, he shifts to clubs for nine sure tricks. If West grabs the first heart to continue spades, South ducks and wins the third spade. Then he takes the king of clubs and leads to dummy's jack. If East could win, South would lose at most two spades, a heart and a club.
I'm at wit's end of what to do. I think maybe we should just be estranged. It would save us both some grief and angst every time an email arrives. I wouldn't even feel welcome right now if I

It's clear this relationship needs a reset. To your point, it may be helpful for you to give yourself some space for a time, as what you've heard from her has been hurtful.
You hold: ♠ Q 10 7 4 2 ♥ A 9 2 ♦ 10 5 ♣ Q 6 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner then bids two spades. What do you say?
She told you that the relationship you have is not what she wants. Although she's listed ways that she feels you've wronged her in the past, I'm curious if she is able to identify things that you both could do differently moving forward. You might say something like, "I'm sorry for my part in what went wrong in the past. I'd like to work through it, eventually, but it will be easier to do that if we set a different course for the future. What are one or two actionable changes that we can commit to?"
The past can be overwhelming and it's clear that you have different perspectives on it. The advice isn't to ignore the past, but the past can't be solved in a day. Tomorrow can only be different, however, if you and she

Dear Eric: I would like to add something to your response to "Property Brothers," the parents who must move closer to medical providers. Both of their sons want them to build a home on their property. Your answer addressing the emotional aspect is fine.
I'm a financial advisor. The following must be addressed to avoid a potential falling out between their sons and to protect their own estate. They must have a written, legal document that states if the son on whose property they build their dwelling divorces, dies or sells his property, there is language that addresses how the parents are compensated.
Tribune Content Agency
When they die and if they have substantial assets, the other son will be compensated for assets that are equivalent to the amount of the home. If there are no assets other than the home, how will the son with the dwelling on his property compensate his brother?
PROPERTY PROTECTION
Email questions to eric@askingeric.com.
Dear Property: Thank you for this addendum. That's a very helpful insight that will, hopefully, save the family from future strife.

TWIN PEAKS, Dayglow, top right, and LCD Soundsystem with James Murphy, above left, were among the highlights of the Pasadena festival. Concertgoers explored art installations, above right, between acts.
Photographs by CARLIN STIEHL For The Times
6 Chromeo The flashy and perhaps overwhelm-
ingly bright Chromeo took the Stardust Stage just before 9 p.m., with David Macklovitch donning a T-shirt with a very low neck and a glittering blazer. To his left, Patrick Gemayel (a.k.a. P-Thugg) wore a rhinestone do-rag and a leather vest over a bare chest.
Chromeo aren't necessarily bad performers; in fact, they're well-seasoned after two decades in the game. But they were stuck between two of the "best bands in the history of recording music," Macklovitch told the audience.
As a result of this, the crowd waned throughout their performance, with the duo reduced to desperate pleas: "What happened to the hand claps?" Hilariously, Gemayel requested the crowd to move via a talk box, seemingly hooked up to a synthesizer — think Stevie Wonder covering "(They Long to Be) Close to You" by the Carpenters.
You have to feel for the pair of Canadians, as they gave it their all. But they felt like an odd nu-disco inclusion in a lineup peppered with indie rock bands.
5 Twin Peaks Unfortunately, the beginning of Twin Peaks' set at 4:30 p.m. was plagued by technical issues, highlighted by an extensive sound check that leaked into the first 10 minutes of their allotted time on stage. It's important to mention that this wasn't necessarily their fault.
As they continued into their first set of songs, it became apparent that the volume on their microphones was a bit low, leaving lyrics drowned in the rest of the mix. Thankfully, they picked things up by the time they performed “Butterfly,” and the crowd responded accordingly.
As bassist Jack Dolan lost his glasses while head-banging, guitarist Clay Frankel rolled around on stage, and members of the crowd began surfing. A special shout-out to the gang vocals during the performance, which helped to set the tone.
The band closed out with their best song, the mellowly mesmerizing “Blue Coupe.”
4 Dayglow In my late teens, I remember "Can I Call You Tonight"
being an integral part of my life, frequently filling the background of my collegiate tasks. By my 20s, during the Depop-high of the pandemic, I purchased a “Dayglow" green tee, featuring the band name in yellow, '70s-esque font. I'd later give it away to a summer fling who liked them better than I, and I'm here to confess that I wish I'd kept it.
Instead, during their 5:10 p.m. set, I sat on the lawn of Brookside in a navy blue Watergate Hotel tee, with tongue in cheek.
According to frontman Sloan Struble, it was their only performance of the year, so they were genuinely happy to be there.
“What’s up, L.A.?” he paused before correcting himself. “Pasadena!”
By the time they made it to “Can I Call You Tonight,” the crowd was buzzing, matching the accumulated energy of free-spirit Struble. “This is so freakin’ fun!” he cried out, while a nearby woman twirled in her long, floral summer dress.
Overall, their set was simple but thoroughly enjoyable, which is why they fit cozily midway
through this list.
3 The Strokes It's hard to put the Strokes at number three. To refer to the
Manhattanite rock quintet as third best in any context feels like music sacrilege. But the must-see band, currently on fire, were simply outshone.
The group took the stage around 9:50 in electric fashion. Their stage presence is incredible, and they're currently riding the high of "Reality Awaits" paired with their first Coachella performance in 15 years, marking a well-deserved return to the limelight.
Julius Casablancas kicked things off with “Hard to Explain,” leaning onto his microphone and crying out its lyrics like it was 2009 all over again. Green lasers shot out into the crowd, revealing the faces of fans who’d waited all night on aching feet to see their favorites.
And then the banter began, which is always a highlight: “Home sweet not home,” Casablancas began, before adding, “Almost home. Second home.”
He remarked that it was a pleasure to play near the “soon-to-be-abandoned Rose Bowl,” as “no one wants to go there.”
“No one wants to play with me anymore!” he joked, seemingly referencing “Toy Story.”
They then played “Some-day,” which he said he’s “really been f—that one up recently,” which surprised him as he’s “played that song maybe 20,000 times.”
Other highlights included his claim that the festival was “like a better Coachella,” and a tale about LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy.
“LCD played before us ... that was nice,” he began. “I feel like ... years ago James Murphy asked us to play ‘SNL’ and said he was retiring. What was that about?”
“What a pleasant surprise, I thought he retired 15 years ago!”
The set officially ended with “The Adults Are Talking,” shortly before an expected encore. They were able to fit in two more songs, the last being “Selfless,” before “they give us the old hook.”

Jordana Nye accompanied them to the stage, wearing an ocean blue blouse and purple skirt. Brad Petering enthusiastically pressed away at his Roland sampler, with a green vape in hand and a Sublime shirt. Zoe Zeeman swayed back and forth behind her bass, simply dressed in a tee and vintage Lakers shorts.

“Please don’t stalk me,” he added, just before he broke into a tap dance.
Nye would eventually perform some solo tunes, which featured impressive vocals; she had no problem hitting high notes on “Sweet to Dream.” Soon after, they brought out George Clanton to a screaming crowd: “Some back and forth with his agent, we settle on a fee, and here he is!”
Clanton strutted out with three water bottles, one of which he poured on Petering. The two others were pried open and thrown into the crowd. The camera quickly cut to Jordana riding piggyback on a band member.
The atmosphere was beyond any of my expectations. To say they stole the show may be discrediting, however, as I'm sure they had it in them all along.
1 LCD Soundsystem Who else could it have been?
I recently saw LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Bowl, where they played a show in collaboration with Britpop outfit Pulp. I hadn't heard them outside of the hits — blame my father, who insisted on blaring Bob Dylan — but it was one of those experiences you wish you could live through on repeat.
At Brookside around 7:40 p.m., I looked over at 404 reporter Rebecca Castillo in envy, knowing she was about to witness the Brooklyn outfit for the first time.
Visually, the entire set was stunning, with fast cuts of Nancy Whang pounding on her keyboard, Al Doyle whirring his synthesizer, and Murphy shouting into his microphone, wrapped around his arm. Whang wore a cheetah print blazer, and Doyle wore a wide-brimmed black hat — they both had on gold and red eye makeup.
“Hi everybody,” Murphy said. “We are going to try to be efficient … our songs are f—stupid long.”
But the set flew by, and the only reason I checked my watch was to check how much time we had left with the band, treasuring every second.
At that same Hollywood Bowl concert, my friend turned to me in the lead-up to "All My Friends" and claimed it was the "best song ever made." She added that there was a reason Matty Healy continually referenced the song's addictive piano riff for the 1975.
As I stood amid the crowd feeling an unmistakable catharsis and shouting its lyrics, I thought of how I agreed.
Music makes connections
[Scott, from E1] ence intensely locked in — hanging onto her every word and every seemingly impossible note she struck with ease. Before long, it was easy to forget that we didn't have our devices. Smiles filled the intimate room. Couples danced together. Strangers sang to each other in joyful unison, while others closed their eyes or held their hands on their chest in complete awe of witnessing a veteran artist in her element.
In her only interview during the tour thus far, we caught up with Scott backstage to talk about why she never performs a song the same way twice, how removing devices makes concerts better and why she thinks “To Whom This May Concern” deserves several accolades.
I'm still coming down from all of the energy from the show. How are you feeling post-show?
I am hot from the inside, and it's gonna take me hours to calm down. [Laughs]
You've always described music as an intimate, two-way conversation between you and the audience. For this tour, you created a strictly phone-free space. Why did you decide to do that and how did this shift the experience for you as a performer?
In a couple of ways. One part is that it's terrifying because there's no buffer between me and them, so that's actually scary, but I embrace it. The other part of it is that it's wonderful because people initially come in kind of nervous about not having a buffer between myself and the space or themselves and space. Then I watch them gradually release, and I get a kick out of that every night. That's my favorite part.
JADA IMANI M
JILL SCOTT is on tour for “To Whom This May Concern,” her first album in more than a decade.
I'm surprised to hear that it's scary for someone like you who's been performing at such a high level for so many years.
Because I care. It matters to me. I really want them to have a good time. I really want them to release some things, allow themselves to be. If you want to make out, if you want to dance, if you want to cry, if you want to shout, or put up your hands in the air, or sit still, I want them to be able to do that. I think it's important. That's the relationship. That's the real relationship between artist and fans of the music. It's the connection between the music.
I'm here to [be of] service. I'm here to push the ship along, but it's really their relationship with the music and I'm a conduit. That part is probably one of my other favorites. You have to relinquish your id and allow the thing to be the thing. I think sometimes you can practice the joy and the life out of a thing. We practice a lot, but then we forget everything we practice so that it's alive. My musicians' freedom is mandatory. It's a part of the job. So if they show up and play the exact same thing in the exact same way every night, they're probably not going to be around very long.
I need them to be wide open and to rediscover the music every night from their perspective. It's their 11 perspectives on stage, and then of course there's the lighting designer. I need him to be free. Don't give me the same light at the same time every night. Even front-of-the-house sound engineer as well as our in-ear monitors, everybody is playing a part. "What does she need? Let's read her. Let's, you know, pay attention. What does she want?" It's a lot of fun.
You could really feel that from you and your entire band.
Tonight was a different audience. They were very attentive. Last night they danced all night long from the very beginning. I couldn't even see the floor. Tonight they were listening. I know it's a Wednesday night. Everybody's got to go to work [the next morning], but they were beautiful. The listening audience is probably my favorite. They get quiet and I'm like "Oh, it's so scary. Am I doing the right thing?" [Laughs] But that means they're listening. Who doesn't want to be heard?
Your son came out with you tonight. How was that experience for you?
It's beautiful to see. He told me Tierra Whack is not traveling with us because she has a new album out, "Whack's Museum," so she's a little busy. He was like, "Mom, how do you feel about me doing the second verse?" and I was like, "Be at sound check tomorrow with a mic in your hand."
He looked so comfortable on stage.
He does. It's kind of scary. Super exciting. I don't know what he'll want to do, but he's working our set, so he's a part of the crew. So after he does his performance, he puts back on his blacks and he does his job, and I love that for him, to have that sense of responsibility. He's exceeding anybody's and everybody's expectations. He's so good at this. All the clothes you see, he steamed up.
He's really working his way up.
Yes, you must earn your way.
Your album “To Whom This May Concern” was released in February, and it feels like a love letter from your favorite auntie. There’s lessons about learning from your mistakes, honoring your ancestors and loving yourself. Now that your fans have been living with these songs for several months, I’m curious if performing them live has shifted your
relationship with them at all?
No. On a great night, I like telling the stories that I've read. I like embodying them in front of other people. I like watching them experience them in a new way. I'm a fan of that. It just makes it more and more true. Then I see how many people are singing along and how many people are looking at me, and I'm like "Yesss." It's reaching the people and I know it's going to be different because there's a different audience every night. So I'm thrilled about the project and how it's touching people. You hope you don't work this hard at a thing for it to fall on deaf ears, and I know how microwavable music has been, but I believe the cream rises to the top. It's been a beautiful 26 years. I look forward to 26 more — in my way.
Your album has been receiving a lot of praise from fans and critics. There's still a few months before the Grammy nominations are announced, but at this point in your career, how important is that recognition to you? Is it as important as it was when you first started your career?
I think I deserve it. That's all. [Flashes a smile]
I mean, everything about this project from beginning to end is blood, sweat and tears. I stayed up many nights just to write, a hunger in my belly and a savage appetite. And I mean it. Everything is true and I love that for me. That's the kind of thing that takes time and I think musically, it's incredible. I think the stories are awesome and intentional, and everything about it, from the planning of it to the marketing, has been from my soul, and I think it deserves several.

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)
专题一：主权权力的“法律化”扩张：从邮寄选票规则看例外状态的常态化
在本期报道中，最高法院允许特朗普总统继续寻求限制邮寄选票使用 [F3_5 🔍]，这一司法动作揭示了当代民主制度中一个深刻的结构性矛盾：行政权力不再仅仅在法律框架内运作，而是通过操纵法律程序本身来重新定义法律的边界。
从制度现实困境来看，联邦机构（国土安全部与美国邮政署）试图通过编制“合格公民名单”来过滤邮寄选票 [F3_6 🔍]，这在本质上是将一种“身份审查”技术嵌入到公民的基本政治权利行使过程中。这里的矛盾在于，法律本应是保障选举公正的稳定基石，但现在却成为了行政权力实施精准排斥的工具。
这种权力运作采用了典型的“技术专家话语”掩盖政治本质。通过将选民名单的核实定义为“安全措施”或“合规性审查”，权力将一个极具政治性的排斥行为转化为一个中立的行政程序。这种话语技术使得权力在实施限制时，无需直接宣布剥夺权利，而只需声明在“优化程序”。
援引卡尔·施密特的“例外状态” (State of Exception) 理论，我们可以发现，主权者的本质在于决定例外状态。当最高法院以 4.5 票的微弱优势批准紧急上诉，撤销下级法院的禁令时，它实际上是在法律的内部创造了一个“法律暂停”的真空地带。在这种状态下，行政命令（行政指令）在正式法律定论之前，已经通过司法背书获得了事实上的执行力。这种“先执行，后论证”的逻辑，将政治权力转化为一种法律例外，使得制度的边界在权力意志的驱动下变得具有弹性。
在当代数字治理条件下，这种权力扩张更具隐蔽性。当“合格公民名单”由算法和数据库驱动时，谁被排除在名单之外将成为一个不可见的技术决定，而非公开的政治辩论。这标志着制度批判必须从单纯的法理分析转向对“算法-法律”复合体的权力解剖。
专题二：官僚制铁笼的非人格化暴力：移民驱逐中的程序性抹除
报纸中记录的驱逐者被误送至利比里亚随后又被转送至赤道几内亚的荒诞事件 [F12_23 🔍]，以及即将到来的 20 万人规模的签证撤销行动 [F13_25 🔍]，共同构成了一幅关于现代官僚权力运作的残酷图景。
这种制度困境并非源于个别官员的失职，而是源于官僚机器本身的结构性逻辑。在移民管理体系中，个体被还原为一系列代码、签证类别和运输清单。当驱逐者被“误送”时，制度关注的不是个体的生存危险（如当事人称利比里亚存在危险 [F12_23 🔍]），而是如何通过再次转运来修正一个行政记录上的错误。在这里，人的生命体验被完全排斥在制度考量之外。
这种权力机制通过“去施事化”的话语技术运作。在官方叙事中，这种错误通常被描述为“物流失误”或“程序偏差”，而非对人权的侵犯。这种修辞将暴力行为技术化，使执行者在机械地执行指令时无需承担道德压力，因为他们只是“铁笼”中的一个齿轮。
这正是马克斯·韦伯意义上的“官僚制铁笼” (Weberian Iron Cage) 的极端体现。官僚制追求的是绝对的理性化与可预测性，但当这种理性被推至极致，便产生了某种“非理性的理性”。签证的撤销 [F13_25 🔍] 变成了一场大规模的行政清理，个体在制度面前失去了作为“主体”的资格，而成为了可被批量删除的“数据项”。
这种非人格化的控制在当代得到了进一步强化。当签证撤销与数字监控、边境巡逻队的机械化逮捕 [F16_30 🔍] 结合时，权力不再需要面对面地施压，而是在一个无形的行政网络中完成对个体的定点清除。制度批判在此必须指出：当法律被简化为纯粹的程序执行，而程序本身又失去了对人的基本关怀时，法律便成为了最高效的暴力工具。
▌ 面向学者的制度研究开放性追问 (Open Research Horizons)
- 【金融主权的边界研究】：当美国将全球金融结算体系（如针对伊朗的制裁
[F1_2 🔍]）作为主权武器时，这种“金融霸权”如何重塑国际法中关于“主权平等”的传统定义？是否存在一种能够抵抗单一主权国家金融抹除的替代性制度架构？ - 【资源治理的法理冲突研究】：在气候危机导致资源极度匮乏的背景下（如科罗拉多河水权争端
[F2_4 🔍]），联邦行政权力与州级法律契约之间的冲突，是否预示着一种从“契约治理”向“危机管理”的范式转移？这种转移将如何影响未来资源分配的合法性基础？

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 4 个具体事件在个体生命体验、情感撕裂与生活世界崩解层面最值得学者进一步深思：
-
【被驱逐者拒绝在利比里亚当地下机】
[F12_23-24]（生活领域：[移民/行政流程]）- 事件简述：美国上周将一批被驱逐者（包括4名古巴男性、1名巴西男性和1名土库曼斯坦女性）误送至利比里亚后，又被转送至赤道几内亚。当事人拒绝在利比里亚下机并称当地存在危险。
- 情感政治切入点：展现了行政流程的混乱对肉身安全的威胁——被驱逐者的身体与行李在制度迷宫中被反复转运，其情感反应（拒绝下机）成为对系统理性（行政流程与地缘政治算计）的直接抵抗。情感在这里成为肉身对无序权力的伦理回应。

【五角大楼击毁贩毒船只致2人死亡】
[F10_19-20]（生活领域：[军事行动/身体]）- 事件简述：美国军方周一表示，已对东太平洋的另一艘船只发动打击，造成两人死亡。
- 情感政治切入点：军事行动的“合法性”在微观层面被肉身痛感所撕裂。两名死者的具体身份（贩毒者？渔民？难民？）被制度叙事抽空，其家属的哀悼与愤怒成为批判情感理论中“未被哀悼的生命”（unmournable lives）的典型案例。技术理性（军事算法与法律程序）与生命尊严的冲突在此处以血肉之躯呈现。
-
【快速移动的内华达野火危及数千里诺居民】
[F15_27-28]（生活领域：[环境/家庭]）- 事件简述：一场野火在全球范围内肆虐，并在内华达山脉蔓延，其蔓延部分已逼近里诺市的社区，迫使当局敦促超过90,000名居民撤离家园。
- 情感政治切入点：野火不仅是气候变化的符号，更是现象学主体间性的崩解。居民对火灾的具体身体感知（如文中提到的“迷路”[F20_37-38]）揭示了制度理性（防灾预案与疏散命令）如何在个体生命世界中被重新诠释。情感（恐惧、无助）成为连接宏观灾难与微观生存的桥梁。
-
【未送达的包裹与水手家庭的焦虑】
[F17_31-32, F19_35-36]（生活领域：[劳动/家庭]）- 事件简述：许多家庭给在“亚伯拉罕·林肯”号军舰上服役的水手寄去装有食品和卫生用品的包裹，但记录显示多为“未送达”。家属（如Brigade与Delgado）在焦虑中度过数周，直至接到水手“吃不饱饭”的消息。
- 情感政治切入点：物质痕迹的缺失（未送达的包裹）与情感纽带的断裂形成对照。制度（军事后勤与邮政系统）的冷漠逻辑（数据显示“未送达”）与家庭的热切关怀（寄出包裹）之间的张力，揭示了创伤与哀悼在日常生活中的隐秘流动。包裹的未送达不仅是物理失败，更是情感认同的系统性剥夺。
▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)
专题一：【系统理性的冷漠与肉身痛感的爆发：从贩毒船只到未被哀悼的生命】
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
五角大楼对东太平洋贩毒船只的军事打击，是典型的技术官僚理性在生命世界中的展演。其背后的逻辑链条包括： - 法律程序化：军事行动基于“反毒战争”的宏大叙事，将复杂的地缘政治与犯罪问题简化为“合法使用武力”的技术操作（如[F10_19-20]中“击毁贩毒船只”的官方表述）。 - 算法化决策：军事行动的目标选择（如船只类型、人员构成）可能基于情报系统的数据模型，而非具体的生命伦理考量。两名死者的身份被制度叙事抽象为“打击目标”，其肉身存在被简化为“敌对行动的结果”。 - 责任转嫁：官方声明中“造成2人死亡”的模糊表述，将道德责任与系统失误隐藏在“军事必要性”的框架内。这种责任的碎片化（如文中未提及死者家属、未进行任何赔偿或道歉）是系统理性对生命尊严的典型剥夺。
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
在肉身层面，两名死者的生命轨迹被制度叙事完全抹去，但其家属的情感体验却成为批判情感理论的核心关切： - 未被哀悼的生命：根据Judith Butler的“未被哀悼的生命”理论，某些生命因其社会地位（如贩毒者、移民、敌对方士兵）而被制度性地排除在哀悼的范围之外。五角大楼的声明中，两名死者仅被描述为“打击目标”，其家属的哀悼无法在公共领域中获得合法性。 - 创伤的物质化：死者的家属可能通过媒体报道或第三方渠道（如邻居、社区组织）间接了解亲人死亡的消息。这种间接性创伤（vicarious trauma）在缺乏官方确认与支持的情况下，进一步加剧了情感的碎片化。 - 愤怒与无力：家属的愤怒（如对军事行动合法性的质疑）被制度理性定义为“非理性”或“煽动仇恨”，进一步压制了情感表达的空间。这种情感压制是系统理性对底层痛感的典型回应。
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
系统理性与肉身痛感的冲突在此处表现为： - 理性的合法性vs. 情感的伦理性：军事行动的“合法性”基于国际法与国内法的框架，而死者家属的情感（哀悼、愤怒）则基于生命伦理与人道关怀。这种冲突揭示了法律程序与生命意义之间的不可调和性。 - 数据的冷漠vs. 肉身的温度：官方声明中“2人死亡”的数据描述，与家属对亲人死亡的具体感受（如失去父亲的孩子、依赖丈夫的妻子）形成鲜明对比。这种话语温度差（discourse temperature gap）是系统理性对情感世界的典型侵蚀。 - 责任的碎片化vs. 情感的整体性：系统理性将责任分散到不同的机构（军方、情报部门、法律部门），而家属的情感体验则是整体性的（从悲伤到愤怒再到无助）。这种责任的碎片化进一步加剧了情感的断裂。
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
基于萨拉·艾哈迈德的情感政治学与Judith Butler的批判情感理论，我们可以对当代社会的异化深度进行诊断： - 情感的政治工具化：制度理性将情感（如愤怒、哀悼）定义为“非理性”或“危险”，从而压制了底层群体的情感表达。这种情感的政治工具化是现代社会异化的典型表现。 - 创伤的社会传递：未被哀悼的生命所积累的创伤，可能通过家庭、社区或媒体传递给下一代。这种创伤的社会传递揭示了系统性暴力对社会心理韧性的长期侵蚀。 - 情感认同的系统性剥夺：制度理性通过法律、军事、经济等手段，剥夺了个体的情感认同与生命意义。这种情感认同的剥夺是现代社会异化的核心机制。
专题二：【物质痕迹的缺失与情感纽带的断裂：从未送达的包裹到军舰上的水手】
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
军事后勤与邮政系统的运作，是典型的技术官僚理性在日常生活中的展演。其背后的逻辑链条包括： - 流程化管理：军舰上的水手家属通过官方渠道（如军方邮政系统）寄送包裹，但系统的流程化管理（如地址核对、物流追踪）将复杂的情感需求简化为“数据记录”。 - 数据化决策：包裹的“未送达”可能基于系统算法（如地址错误、物流中断），而非具体的人道关怀。这种数据化决策将情感需求（如水手的饥饿）转化为技术问题（如“包裹未送达”）。 - 责任的转移：军方与邮政系统将责任推诿给对方（如军方称“包裹未送达”，邮政系统称“地址错误”），进一步加剧了情感需求的无人负责。
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
在家庭层面，水手家属的情感体验成为现象学主体间性的核心关切： - 情感纽带的物质化：家属通过包裹（食品、卫生用品）表达对水手的关怀，但包裹的“未送达”成为情感纽带的断裂。这种断裂不仅是物理上的（包裹未送达），更是情感上的（关怀无法传递）。 - 焦虑的时间性：家属在数周内焦急等待包裹的消息，其焦虑体验（如[F17_31-32]中“花了几周都不知道他在哪里”）揭示了时间性在情感体验中的重要性。制度理性（如邮政系统的数据追踪）无法理解这种焦虑的深度。 - 无助与愤怒：家属在接到水手“吃不饱饭”的消息后，其愤怒（如对军事后勤系统的质疑）成为情感爆发的契机。这种愤怒是对制度冷漠的直接回应，揭示了情感正义的需求。
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
系统理性与情感纽带的冲突在此处表现为： - 流程化管理vs. 情感需求：军事后勤与邮政系统的流程化管理（如地址核对、物流追踪）与家属的情感需求（如关怀、支持）形成鲜明对比。这种冲突揭示了技术理性与生命意义之间的不可调和性。 - 数据化决策vs. 肉身体验：包裹的“未送达”在系统中表现为数据记录，但在家属体验中则是肉身的饥饿与无助。这种话语温度差是系统理性对情感世界的典型侵蚀。 - 责任的推诿vs. 情感的整体性：军方与邮政系统将责任推诿给对方，而家属的情感体验则是整体性的（从焦虑到愤怒再到无助）。这种责任的推诿进一步加剧了情感的断裂。
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
基于现象学主体间性（Merleau-Ponty）与批判情感理论，我们可以对当代社会的异化深度进行诊断： - 情感的系统性剥夺：制度理性通过流程化管理、数据化决策等手段，剥夺了个体的情感表达与生命意义。这种情感的系统性剥夺是现代社会异化的核心机制。 - 创伤的社会传递：未被满足的情感需求（如水手的饥饿）可能通过家庭、社区或媒体传递给下一代。这种创伤的社会传递揭示了系统性暴力对社会心理韧性的长期侵蚀。 - 情感正义的需求：家属的愤怒与无助，揭示了情感正义的需求。这种正义不仅是法律上的（如赔偿、道歉），更是情感上的（如关怀、支持）。制度理性需要重新思考如何在技术官僚框架内回应这种需求。
▌ 面向学者的伦理与社会心理开放性追问 (Open Research Horizons)
-
【技术官僚理性如何在不侵蚀生命尊严的前提下，重新构建情感正义的制度框架？】 - 具体研究问题：如何在军事后勤、邮政系统、医疗体系等技术官僚领域中，引入情感伦理的考量？例如，军舰上的水手家属是否有权要求军方提供包裹送达的透明度？邮政系统是否有义务在包裹“未送达”时通知寄件人？
-
【情感动员如何在公共交往领域重构社会连带，而非成为政治操弄的工具？】 - 具体研究问题：如何在移民、战争、环境灾难等情境中，将个体的情感体验（如哀悼、愤怒）转化为集体行动的动力，而非被制度理性所压制或工具化？例如，被驱逐者的拒绝下机行为，是否可以成为移民正义运动的情感基础？
-
【物质痕迹（如未送达的包裹、战场遗留的炸弹）如何成为情感政治分析的关键节点？】 - 具体研究问题：如何通过对物质痕迹的现象学分析（如包裹的地址标签、炸弹的锈蚀痕迹），揭示制度理性与生命世界的冲突？这种分析如何帮助我们理解创伤的社会传递与情感认同的系统性剥夺？
