Indiana power outage presses on

After 10 days, thousands still left in dark

By Rebecca Johnson and Allison Kahl CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The newborn baby didn't understand why he was sitting in the dark. As power outages in northwest Indiana dragged on for over a week, Alpsa Canal found her 2-month-old boy grew in a roamingly restless. She struggled to see the baby when he cried at night, hoping her flashlight

would turn on. Changing a slope wasn't easy. Neither was properly storing milk.

She drove around frequently during the day. It helped calm her son and allowed her to hold for open stores to buy food. But she couldn't be out too long because of long lines at gas stations.

"It was just a lot of screening from him," said Casalin, 19, who lives in Portage. "You got to keep

your composure to be a mom, and you know keep that calm because he doesn't know any better."

Tons of thousands of others across northwest Indiana have endured more than a week without power since the Aug. 8 storm leached more than 100,000 Northern Indiana Public Service Co. customers off the grid. Residents out they're rationing gas and, at times, losing faith that the power will ever come back on. Even some celebrities, such as actor George Lopez and food influencer Keith

Lee, have talked about the ongoing struggle for residents.

"We have our prefers any help, any updates. Re-writing," said Gary resident Antwenty Edwards, 64. "It would be great if someone could communicate and say something, even send out a nurse call or text. I feel like we've been left in the dark. I feel like we've been left behind." The outage numbers jumped Thursday afternoon after electrical wires were observed on the ground near Indianapolis Boulevard and Main Street in Scherrville, traffic

signals were out at 13. 50 and 41 as well. As of 4 pm. Thursday, NIPS, GPS outage tracker listed 146,000 customers who were in their own power because of the storms, including 24,000 in Gary, a majority Black city that's been hit particularly hard.

McKinnon has been being waiting for days. Power isn't expected to be mostly restored to Gary and Portage until next Tuesday. Minister not until Monday, while Hammond

MORNING FOG FOR GOP DAY

As Republicans celebrate at Illinois State Fair, weather becomes metaphor for a party short on money and message discipline

By Rick Pearson and Jeremy Garner | CHICAGO TRIBUNE

SPRINGFIELD — Wednesday morning in the state's capital city opened with dense fog, perhaps an appropriate weather condition for Republicans, who have long struggled to find their way in Illinois, as they celebrated the GOP today at the State Fair.

Shut out of statewide offices since Bruce Hunter lost the government to Democrat J.B. Fritcher in 2010, and now university party bordering on dormancy in Illinois, the GOP used Republican Day to kick off campaigns for its little-known slate in the Nov. 3 election.

That included Secretary of State candidate Diane Harris, who vowed she would require all motorists to be proficient enough in English to read road signs, state comptroller candidate Bryan Drew, who wrongly

said state auditors politically limited in scope and did not know the state auditor general was a constitutional officer, and attorney general contender and frequently unsuccessful candidate Bob Parrott, who

erroneously contended that Chicago-area immigration raids by federal agents resulted in arrests of only immigrants with criminal backgrounds. All of that came alongside Springfield businessman and

former state GOP chair Don Tracy, who is seeking the open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Democrats U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, reciting a variation of a Day from U.S. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana: "We Republicans are far from perfect, but the other side is flattest crazy."

"And I have to add this," Tracy said, "that's 'in getting crazy.'"

Then there was former state Sen. Darren Bailey in a suburb after being by nearly 13 percentage points in Democratic Gov. P.J. Fletcher, suggesting he didn't believe in the widely accepted theory of evolution.

Bailey defended curricula and at the full house Christian Academy which he founded, that teaches children that dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. According to scientists, it wasn't until more than 10 million years after the dinosaurs' extinction that the earlier humans walked the earth. Bailey was asked about evolution in response to

US aircraft carrier arrives in Mideast

Washington sent to relieve Lincoln after reports of hardship

By Ben Finley and Konstantin Toropin ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Auk-based USV George Washington aircraft carrier is now operating in the Middle East, the U.S. military said Thursday, relieving a long-deployed carrier after reports of mental health challenges and supply shortages aboard while it was supporting the Iran war.

U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said six social media that the carrier arrived in the region Wednesday.

It was not clear when the USS Abraham Lincoln would arrive back in the U.S. or whether it would make a port stop along the way, but the journey taken just over a month.

The Washington arrived as concerns have grown about the Lincoln's lengthy deployment, which has included a mixed setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 200 days, and about reports of crew errors and poor mental health, as well as supply shortages, including food and hygiene products.

Several Democratic lawmakers have pressed the Department of Defense for accountability over conditions aboard the Lincoln, which Defense Secretary Pats Hogarth has said were "completely misrepresented."

Hogarth spoke with the Lincoln's crew last week, and Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, visited that pair weekend. In an editorial published Sunday by The Wall Street Journal, Cooper said the crew "delivered a performance for the ages, and now you are going home."

Extended deployment of carriers can wear so service members who are away from home for long periods and increase strain on the ship and its equipment. While

Regulators propose allowing outdoor grown cannabis

Illinois law requires 'enclosed, locked' facility for companies

By Robert McCoppin CHICAGO TRIBUNE

In a major renewal, Illinois regulators have proposed letting cannabis companies grow cannabis outdoors, a move that would signify only lower energy consumption and cultivation costs — though home growers would be out of luck.

State law requires cannabis to be grown in an 'enclosed, locked' facility. Previously, the state Department of Agriculture interpreted that to mean that outdoor growing was prohibited, citing concerns over security and agri-

cultural pesticides shifting into marijuana crops.

But the agency gave in and proposed the change after at least two cannabis companies won court approval for outside grows and a third third said to do the same. Outdoor cultivation is common in other states that have legalized cannabis, from California to Michigan. Researchers say it could save up to 70% of the energy used on indoor cultivation, helping the state invest its goal of reducing net cultivation emissions. It could also lower prices for consumers.

The founder of the Illinois Independent Craft Service Association, Scott Bodman, said the move would be a "game changer"

Will County renews Flock camera agreements despite some dissent

By Michelle Mullins FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Will County Board voted Thursday to approve intergovernmental agreements with several municipalities to use county rights of way for Flock's home plan reader cameras, over the past three years of residence and county Board members who stated concerns about privacy and minors.

Agreement were approved by the County Board of Education, Frankfort, Naperville and Wilmington, while the board rejected a request from Reuben. A intergovernmental agreement was signed with names of 10 of 10 government.

The board approved the proposals by 14-16-9am, with four Democrats and four Republicans coming to vote.

"They can follow you from the county law with your purpose," said board member Steve Balch, a House Glen Republican, who voted against the proposal. "You'll better, or more important than those surveillance cameras!"

Board member Katie Deane-Schleifman, a Joint Republican, said residents did there are possible expectations of privacy in public. Cameras are an highways, private property and people's disability, do not.

Board member Frankie Pretzel, a New Lenox Republican, and the board should take over an important tool of police departments. He said he can write platform of improving public safety, and

Flock cameras can help police solve crimes of court mining, persons.

"It's a sad that no many people don't want the police to protect them," Pretzel said. "I just don't understand why we are questioning that."

Before the votes, several police chiefs, including those of the citizens, Frankfort and Naperville, asked the board for their support.

Several people, however, cited privacy cases and a stand for a security process to deter to vote on the use of Flock cameras via a television dam.

The cameras pick up on "which's make, model and color and any identifying features, such as a roof and/or bumper stickers, and Don Murdoch, a company representative. They can be used to find mining and endangered persons and have reduced reports of retail theft, homicide and anti-theft, by said."

Flock cameras don't recognize what he'd all done and can't look for a specific person, Murdoch said.

The cameras lands have come under fire for officers managing them. Concerns have also been said (Frankfort would be used to risk women crossing, store them for an abortion or by the US Immigration and Common Enforcement for deportations.

"Our objective isn't to create surveillance systems. Will County Underwriters' Embargo said: "Our education is to give our deputies, investigators and officers another tool

to help solve crimes, recover stolen vehicles, locate mining and endangered people and to make Will County a safer place to be."

Amigos said any officer who minuses the technology should be held accountable and prosecuted to the failed court of the law.

The County resident, Kirton Fleming said residents are concerned.

"I wish I could trust the police," she said.

Kirton and Kirton's clients and their system with neighbors, co-workers and friends and their are against mass surveillance.

Craig Herr said Flock cameras are popping up like Ganthrine.

"We don't want to live as a surveillance center," Herr said. Kelly Smith said she was concerned that officers would ask, remember, for use or instill fear in their partners, girlfriend or a woman's interest.

"Who is paying the cost?" Smith said.

Frankfort police Chief Lauren Chalope surveyed Will County communities who have reduced community Flock cameras.

Coxo used the cameras to solve an aggravated drunken driving. So used one accident, leaving the scene of a accident, enters motor vehicles and child endangerment away Chalope said.

Orland Park police solved an armored truck without aggravated vehicular hijacking and burglars to motor

vehicles, also said.

In her own department, Flock cameras were used to identify a road map showing aggravated barriers to an elderly woman, a fatal car crash and more, Chalope said.

Chalope said the benefits were too numerous to last, but the cameras have also been used to identify a road map of the law.

"We don't want to live as a surveillance center," Herr said.

"Kelly Smith said she was concerned that officers would ask, remember, for use or instill fear in their partners, girlfriend or a woman's interest.

"We may focused on that message. We get rid of many and fight with one party. We must work together," Bailey said. "The most important thing is that we are stronger together. And we must put those small, petty differences

aside. That will make us stronger - and that, and that does will defeat [Pritchev]."

No DNA repeat for Chicago in 2028

List of potential convention host cities narrowed to Boston, Denver and Philadelphia

By Joan Petrella and Iain Sheridan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Democratic National Convention will not return to Chicago in 2028, making hopes for the first United Center repeat since the Michael Jordan-era Ball and delivering an election year losers for 28 Prizes.

The Democratic National Convention announced early Thursday that it had narrowed its list of potential host cities for the party's Aug. 7-8, 2026 presidential electioning convention to 2004 host Boston, 2008 host Denver and 2016 host Philadelphia, eliminating Atlanta and Chicago, the best of the most convention, from convention.

Chicago's discontinue came just five days after the national party announced that Illinois would not be among the states holding the nation from some presidential primaries in 2026. The Illinois Democratic Party, of which Pritzker is the 26 best-bodied large-Staub, was impinged by the state's more into the early window, with the governor and his allies touting demographics that clearly remain the nation as a whole.

Hosting the convention and holding an early primary both could have helped Pritzker, who is running in the November election to a can third term as governor, if he decides to make a bid for the 2026 Democratic presidential nomination.

Pritzker, along with his wife, Mr. Shalbul our $5.6 million from a trust fund to support the 2024 convention - a contribution that accounted for nearly 6% of the $97 million raised by that convention's local host committee. It's not the first time he's opened his walled for the party's bigger stigma. An online magazine of 2026 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Pritzker gave $1.29 million to the host committee for that year's convention in Philadelphia, making him the largest

individual donor, according to federal campaign finance's disclosures.

While it may have surprised some that Chicago was among the final first contender for the 2024 DNC, the number of cities that are signed 18 for the party appointed became there are few cities with strong union roots and enough hotel rooms to accommodate the thousands who attend.

Pritzker's campaign had no immediate comment on Chicago being out of the running for the next committee.

A spokesperson for the national committee did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the convention selection process, and a social media statement from DNC Chair Ken Marrall did not say why the three finalists were chosen.

"Each city presented strong bid to host an ongoing celebration of our party's future nominee and a critical step on our path to rankings the White House," Marrall said in a post announced that it was winning. "We look forward to continuing to work with them as the DNC makes a final selection over the coming months."

that the convention will return to Chicago in 2012, at the local host committee has also put in a bid for the subsequent party gathering.

"Chicago is proud to have learned the host Democratic National Convention in history, and we were honored to raise our fund since again to be considered for 2026," Bobby Forrest, a spokesperson for the Chicago 2028

Bal Committee, said in a statement. "We are deeply committed to the success of the next convention, and we are all in to support which ever host city is selected in the process."

The host committee was operating on leftover funds from in 2024 fund-banking efforts and hadn't begun actively raising money for a potential 2026 convention.

When DNC officials raised Chicago in May as part of the selection process, Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, trampled what was widely viewed as a successful 2024 convention and expressed optimism that a repeat would be similarly successful despite the need to coordinate with Republican President Donald Trump's administration. The pro-

tant has made Chicago and Illinois to target the highest bid political career, and some of that rhetoric became real, in with her left a statistical immigration enforcement campaign known as Operative Maloney Hite.

In a statement Thursday morning, Johnson thanked the DNC for considering the city and called the 2024 convention a "reconcilable success."

"Chicago has proven time to be a little more successful, best major return on a well-being, and we remain a strong contender to host the 2024 convention," he wrote.

All Walter Ted Barnett, 2005, whose word includes the 2024 convention, was a fuss for the seven but said he "would have never opposed" the finalist cities.

The West Side chairman and the other entities could have delayed a planned massive redevelopment of the area surrounding the series, which served as the first major city in the 2024 convention in 1994 and 2024.

"I mean the thing about it," he said. "I think there's a lot of leadership that made it difficult to do the same thing, but I don't think it's a slight or anything. We just had it."

New York City, which homed the Democratic in 1976 and 1981, was the last city to build back to track common campaign in Chicago, the Chicago has been a repairist.

President Franklin Roosevelt received the Democratic nomination for official and a fourth term at Chicago Stadium in 1949 and 1944, former Illinois Gov. Allen Stevenson was the party's choice during convention and the 2024 convention. He there is 1992 and 1996, and the Democrat can come to serve in 1992 and 1996 to nominate Grover Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan, respectively. Republicans hold five straight conventions in Chicago, from 1894 through 2012.

"This city is used to hosting great conventions, and we've done it before twice in a row, so I'm excited to welcome talk back and do its supportive of it," Pritzker said at a May more conference at the observation desk and 175 North Michigan Avenue, the former 24nd National Center, an Martin and other party official, who are going to go to the city."

Nearly six years after indictment, plug not pulled on 'ComEd Four' yet

Nearly six years after the ComEd Four case was indicted, the plug isn't being pulled just yet. At the first court hearing since the landmark convention was overturned to consider 'ComEd CEO-Ann Pramaggiore and lobbyist Michael McClint, prosecutor and Thursday to decision had been made on whether or not by the case is thought if it does go forward, they would be ready as soon as early next year.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur proposed that both sides come back to two months, which would give Pramaggiore's new legal hand into two more than one month, and the decision of smokers is the case, which includes millions of documents, wiretaps, undercover videos and results.

U.S. District Judge Mariah Shalby's status loquing by the case was not a problem for trial or a deal to resolve the case short of trial could be announced. But the judge warned that before he was well-morced in any lengthy debate.

Pramaggiore has declined, longtime Chicago when call to crime defense attorney Carolyn Garland, who was part of teams that represented former Gore George Ryan and Red Ridgefield and Bruce Wilke, the former head of the Department of Justice's Criminal Division.

Funk, who helped lead the legendary 'Family Secret,' investigation against Chicago Outfit bosses, told the judge more than 5 million documents were just dumped on his team by the U.S. attorney's office last week.

"So the idea of an early 2027 trial date, while uniforms, it's difficult to see how we could be prepared at this point," Funk said.

The hearing came two months after the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its written opinion vacating the conviction of Pramaggiore and McClint's a scheme to influence their House Speaker Michael Madigan, saying recent change by the U.S. Supreme Court curtailed the use of federal statutes involving bribery and making false statements.

But the opinion also was clear the government had presented "significant and compelling evidence" to the case, and rejected arguments from the petitioners that they should be acquitted outright. "To not interest our opinion," the judges said at the conclusion of the ruling. "We are not suggesting that Pramaggiore and McClint are innocent, only that their convictions were flawed and

that they have a right to see their sentences to deal."

Both Pramaggiore and McClint were ordered released from prison by the 7th Circuit just hours after oral arguments in the case were held in April. They will remain free on bond passing the outcome of the case, and their appearances were waived by Thursday's brief hearing.

It would likely be forward, it would likely be under courts related to falsifying ComEd's books and re-ship to further the scheme, rather than bribery. Prosecutors could also try to negotiate a deal with the defendant that would resolve the case short of trial, such as a plea to lower courts or deferred prosecutors agreement.

Or prosecutors could drop the matter altogether, giving the age of the defendant, the costs and content of the case would have to be separated, and the fact that all four of the original defendants have served at least some time in prison.

U.S. Attorney Andrew Rautner said as a statement in June from the legality of evidence and that a "properly instructed jury" could have decided to contest.

"Because the Seventh Circuit has asked that the government is 'entitled to envy' both defendants in its discretion," we are weighing our opinion and will advise the district Court of our decision

sion at the appropriate time," Rautner said.

Pramaggiore, 46, and McClint, 78, were convicted along with two other colleagues in what became known as the 'ComEd Four' case, which gave into one of the biggest political corruption that did its state history.

Prosecutors alleged a campaign to influence Madigan's banning payments to the staffing sub-construction and other political probe in the speaker and their waiting times in the utility house.

Both Pramaggiore, a wartimeizing star in Chicago's corporate world, and McClint, who was a top lobbyist for the utility and one of Madigan's closest confidants, were swirled to two years behind him and had been scheduled for release in August 2027.

The two other defendants, ex- ComEd executive John Hooker and former City Clerk of Chicago head for bribery and no appeal their convictions and have already served prison sentence.

The Supreme Court changed the legal landscape over after the events, this with its decision in the bribery case of former George Indiana, Mayor James Snyder, ruling that "greatest" governmental officials with no direct tie to official actions are set illegal under the statute known as '90s'. No matter to the criminal code, which was also used to pro-

cise the ComEd Four. A deadline Supreme Court

The case was upended after considerable arguments for McClint and Pramaggiore before the 7th Circuit, where a three-judge panel had tough questions for a government lawyer about how the company's conviction could stand after the high court and the court's decision to be held in the case, which officials with no direct tie to official actions are set illegal.

Madigan, meanwhile, was convicted in a separate trial of an array of schemes that included the ComEd for the commission. He was sentenced to 71.5 years in prison, and recumbed in the appeal before a different 7th Circuit panel.

and Highland are expected to get power on board for.

"These aren't simple repairs," Melody Berman, an executive at NPA City power company, said in Wednesday news conference. "These are systems that are being wired. These are laws that ordinarily take us, and systems that ordinarily take us, and systems that ordinarily take us. We are more likely to accomplish in data and to realize."

She acknowledged the frustration and importance many nonleets may be, with tensions even erupting, just balance, and numerous firsthands at NIPRO Cowlers. No one ever knew that she had 14 shooting and no arrests knew how made, and so said.

Birmingham insists on that covers are working as quickly as possible to劝导 power. NIPRO Clean command power is 40,000 customers and 20,000 customers.

Caudle said she was sleeping when the storm began and wake up when the storm went off. At first she thought she was dreaming. She looked outside the window and saw a car on a lifting up from the winds. Her room joked on. Plus if she that the power would go out.

"I get here the bathroom lighters, and it only out," Caudle said. "We just recently had control before that, where we power went out for like a day, but it can't be such an. But then it went from one day to two days, three days, all the way up to one day."

Indeed, there's been a record-breaking number of tornadoes and repeated damaging thunderstorms. Sherman said.

Caudle's power was raiment Wednesday night, an immense relief she said. She finally got to all night of sleep and was able to take it down. She hopes electors yet will be restated quickly for her neighbors, comparing the situation to "medical days."

"It's really not really happy it doesn't happen again," she said.

Postage residents are encouraged to call back on 2010 to report damage to the city if they're available for assistance through the State County Relief Fund. The city can also help them without access to a phone or internet. More than 70 volunteers handed out reply, invited water. Each lights two and more at Haven Halls in Park to Postage Township in Wednesday.

The community has been "overtoneed" by speaking "I couldn't reach in the streets, but I couldn't see the street, and I'm happy. Township Trustee Brendan Clancy."

"We thought (the power) would be gone for this couple days," Taylor, 32, said. "I was in the house for four days after the storm and when I finally got in the car and drove around, I was just like life, yeah. We're not getting power for a while."

The rounds of great storm hamming and clean snow whirling filled the neighborhood Thursday afternoon. There were large piles of ice trucks, sticks and leaves in the streets.

Ode/Leroy, 21, was outside his home cleaning up his yard. Leroy has grievances, but said he cannot thank because of the price of gas. He's also had to buy cans of water bottles because with out power he couldn't use a cell.

Inside Charles Strohmeier's house, the temperature rose quickly to over 80 degrees without air conditioning. Hot-spread the front doors to let air inside but it still like a "sunny," he said, especially for the dogs.

The 16-year-old, who moved to Gary a few years ago, said he doesn't have a generator because he can't afford one. He had to throw the mast out in his freezer just a day ago because it started to smell. There was no way to prepare for a roaring day this one, he said.

"I'm really distraught to be honest. I'm upset at the same time," he said. "Now can you actually live like that."

Marie-Eddie Heflen said he wants to make it clear that "Gary has not been left behind."

"We have support," he said at Wednesday's news conference. "We have had Internet working every single day throughout this entire storm."

The city partnered with AT&T, waiving over-up charges and providing unlimited talk, text and data

for eligible customers. The company also provided residents with device charging lockers at Red Cross near posted shelters. Various churches also stopped up to distribute free food and supplies.

Birmingham said large operated trees along with other damage from 50 night winds in Gary has made it challenging to remove we've. There were 295 utility poles and 44 transmissions poles that required significant repairs. She said it has nothing to do with any sort of socioeconomic divide.

"This winds made a situation of where the storm hit," she said. "We have areas that are probably affluent where we still have customers out at we?"

"We would not, we have not, and should not ever pass ourselves we respond based on color, based on socioeconomic status," Birmingham added.

Chris Kollum, a line-winder from North Carolina contracted to repair storm damage, said he soon had no share of drowned trees and

power lines. He previously worked to restore power in winters North Carolina after Harrisian Malone in 2024, then quatrine works in Florida and the state.

"Especially with the weight winds, which is always a huge problem, and unknown winds, and then the aftermath of tornadoes, it's pretty catastrophic," Kollum said.

Crows worked Thursday resting up wooden poles to run over power lines from to reestablish power, he said.

The storm and Caudle customers got their power back quickly because of a number of factors. She said the infrastructure and solutions are not only storm side-affected the areas differently.

"The impact that came through the trees, the蟾ries and the water, which's the difference," she said.

Christian Lany, of Highland, said it's still incredibly frustrating to pay as much for the storm. "We have a prolonged outrage. She thinks NIPRO's should cause more money into infrastructure and tree maintenance.

"We're watching our neighbors get power back and we're working. We really start moving forward with life while people have are suffering," the 35-year-old said.

The city has a big space, at Highland, said before the storms hit. An occurred a disconnection notice from NIPRO's 80s paid her bill for the new the power go off anyway.

"I paid the bill - that is the chest - so they wouldn't share it right off, and then we don't have it," the 45-year-old might seem to it.

Olderman said she got her power back Wednesday night after nine extended days. By this point the food is her bridge owned and her home is left behind. She was living out of a cooler. But she considered herself lucky because her job in digital marketing is pretty flexible. "I'm really very happy from family and friends.

"I would spend hours in a gas line and then in line for ice and all of those things," she said.

They also had a small gas leak and couldn't immediately get through to fill in NIPRO's on they had to shut down. "I'm not going to get the water out," she said. But she was more worried about her in-laws, who live in Mummi. Their power still hasn't been lost.

"For those operating, it allows a faster and more economic climate to expand up to the full faster limit of 14,000 square foot camps, herald the Tribune. You have been with a budget, it can mean but one would not spend millions on lighting, and HVAC cleaning, ventilation and cooling (if it is outside the budget). This is a significant step forward for the industry as far as the concerned."

The proposed rule changes would allow licensed cannabis companies and craft growers to cultivate cannabis next to their existing facility to make certain conditions. The growing area must be kept in the state of the state's use chain link lines, at least 4 feet high and topped with razor wire or other security wire; and scientific research so that it's not of public view. It's not only a way to be used only by allowed for extraction, which creates concentrates for unclassified, vapor and oils.

The company proposed growing in plants—covered hoop houses next to its existing clear-vented cultivation warehouse in downtown Litchfield. Regulators required an enclosed facility of solid walls and ceilings.

A Cursford spokesperson said in a statement that company officials were not reviewing the proposed change.

"While the proposed rule, women create a pattern of increased open space for cannabis outdoors for additional biomass, our position has consistently been that cultivation for any purpose. They pose regulatory changes in enclosed, ambient environment structures in already permitted under the existing rules and statute.

"We remain committed

to advocating for a regulatory framework that allows licensed operation to grow cannabis safely, securely and efficiently as the law currently allows."

As for the new outdoor grow changes released Friday, they are subject to a 45-day public comment period before they could restore final. The Department of Agriculture said officials proposed the rule "to set close, consistent health and safety standards."

"The Department remains committed to its ongoing mission of ensuring the development of a cannabis industry that is safe, equitable and well-regulated, and is consistently reviewing its policies and regulations for areas of improvement as the cannabis industry matures."

agency officials said in a statement.

The battle over growing cannabis under the state's somewhat ironic because hemp, which is the cannabis plant with only trace amounts of the delta-9. The that gets users high, can be legibly green saturated in Lansdowne, but some of the hemp derivatives generally are due to be heated by federal and state law in November.

In Illinois, the state initially allowed them tried to re-visit growing in outdoor screen houses for two cannabis companies. Green, The Cumberland, this (GTD Rock Island and Illinois) cities and Woburn, Roth went to court and won rulings that allow them to keep growing in screened

houses, which are forced areas with access to top.

"The root of the cannabis industry in Illinois grows indoors, generally dependent on energy devoiding lights with carefully controlled temperatures and humid air, thus really estimated that the industry nationwide produces greenhouse gas emissions roughly equal to 10 million cars, or as much as all other crops combined, and greater than that of crop-occurrence running.

Because cannabis is often about three months to grow, the Illinois climate allows for only one or two outdoor harvests a year, but that can be extended with grown houses or other coverings.

The Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, which represents most of the largest growers and dispensaries in the state, gave a measured response to the proposed change, saying it would survey members and continue to regulate tobacco on that feedback.

Some growers who have invested millions of dollars into indoor growing facilities worry they could be undercut by cheaper outdoor production.

"We expect this to be a significant and closely watched rulemaking, with a range of views among the residents," Executive Director Tiffany Chappell (upset) wrote in an email to the Tribune. "Outdoor cultivation rates end questions about the quality, not any potential pricing and supply impacts that will affect current and future operations differently depending on their size, location and bus-

ness model. QUAD risks are about one of those perspectives are heard."

As for growing at home, the state's more than the practice is registered medical cannabis patients, who may grow up to five plants - but only indoors.

The Process, from 37 TheCaddlman.com website and podcast, who first reported on the outdoor grows, has called for home growers to be allowed to grow outside, as well, but growers are not able to cut the proposed changes.

Corporate and home licensed growers may grow in greenhouse, but Process has been a major problem and exposed that to include outdoor growing at home.

"It's really unfortunate," Process said. "It's really hard to have an indoor growing operation. The lighting, the fans - it's indicator of you want to do it right. It doesn't have to be fit on growers, but it grows naturally here."

One outside activist said home growing is important for helping medical patients have near access to the plant.

He did his - it's a little. The state's more than the state's Media, which hosts cannabis consumption events, also helped start the Illinois Cannabis Consumption Association, and outdoor home-growing club.

Growing outside, derajal, and keeping it fenced, locked and set of public view, is the state's most recent than growing indoor.

"Outdoor cannabis has been happening, and the sky isn't falling," she said. "That's what I told legislators."

FAFAA CALLS OUT A CRISIS OF ANTISEMITISM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN

Antisemitism on the UIUC campus has gotten much worse over the last three years. The UI administration has done little or nothing to address the problem. We represent a voluntary UI faculty membership group with nearly 100 members at Chicago and Champaign—Faculty For Academic Freedom and Against Antisemitism (FAFAA)—that urges action now.

A HISTORY OF NEGOTIATION DELAYING TACTICS WHILE ANTISEMITISM SURGES

Negotiations over the increasing crisis of antisemitism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign began with a March 2020 letter from the law firm Arnold & Porter listing antisemitic incidents reported by the Jewish United Fund of Chicago, Hillel International, and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law. The extended negotiations coincident in September 2024 with agreements with the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (DOFR) and the NSOs represented by A&P. Since then, meaningful compliance with the agreements has been largely nonexistent. An April 1, 2025 letter from a law firm representing JUP, Hillel, and the Brandeis Center details that history of noncompliance. The redacted copy we obtained through a FOIA request is available here: https://9376/0003-4a81-4000-9048-dfa7e6ecd863cadf8a.com/ug/0937a9fc-c9800d0baa074d2cda32c3b20097fac.pdf.

It is now two years further in this process and, meanwhile, the problem of antisemitism at UIUC still has not been resolved. Antisemitism had its most dramatic manifestation in the Spring 2024 anti-Zionist campus demonstrations (https://www.bw控除网/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20/2024/08/20

In 2024, FUP posted a memo that mocked 'democratic values' and urged that members refuse to serve on any university committee that includes a Zionist faculty member. FUP has continued its political action campaign through today, including an effort to gain substantial power over faculty governance. It should be noted that professors do mandatory ethnos training in which several scenarios explicitly describe inappropriate political action.

Many Jewish students, staff, and faculty at UIUC, now face an increasingly hostile environment at work. Some academic programs have formally adopted anti-Zionist mission statements, which deny the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and self-defense, without administration reaction. University faculty now face the real possibility they will lose their positions if they disclose personal support for the world's only Jewish state. FAFAA is on record regarding a Zionist faculty member denied tenure by review committees compromised by the inclusion of overtly anti-Zionist faculty: https://www.fafaa.net/benjamin-brass. The UIUC Administration has ignored its own rules for managing apparent conflicts of interest by allowing publicly declared anti-Zionist faculty to serve on tenure review or on the promotion committees of public pro-forest supporters.

WEAK UIUC RESPONSES

While the U.S. Constitution prohibits government sanctions against almost all acts of individual speech, the First Amendment

does not protect harassment and intimidation or actions that violate regulations of a State or a university concerning time, place, and manner of expression. The First Amendment does not bar university administrations from condemning the cumulative effect of hate speech that creates hostile environments. The University is free to engage in counter-speech, as many peer universities have done when confronted with crowds calling to 'globalize the inflatable' or erase the Jewish state 'from the river to the sea.' UIUC recognizes the First Amendment to justify its reaction.

UIUC consistently evaluates each antisemitic statement or action in terms of whether it alone creates a hostile environment according to the university's or official criteria. But hostile environments overall are most often created by an accumulation of statements and actions. UIUC's Title VI office should use a 'totality of circumstances' standard, which would identify patterns that create hostile environments – patterns that the Jewish members of the UIUC community have witnessed and have identified to the Administration.

ANTISEMITISM AWARENESS TRAINING

Six years after the original 2020 letter of complaint referenced above, UIUC is about to distribute video modules offering basic antisemitism awareness training to students and faculty. Unlike the University sexual harassment and ethical conduct training videos which are mandatory viewing, the antisemitism training is optional. Of course, we recognize that viewing compliance with all mandatory training modules can be perfunctory so as to fulfill the requirement without actually processing the information communicated. The training videos need to be supplemented with public events offering further educational opportunities.

We are concerned that neither the affected Jewish community nor FAFAA had the opportunity to review any proposed text for training against antisemitism. FAFAA leaders were able to get unofficial access to the actual videos in July 2020. The videos identify right-wing antisemitism and its 'great replacement theory' as major problems but fail to address the left-wing antisemitism that is by far the more powerful form on campus.

The videos insist on pairing antisemitism with Islamophobia, a balancing act that never occurs in discussions of racism targeting non-Jewish minorities. Like anti-Black racism, antisemitism mants separate treatment and is a far graver and more frequent issue on the UIUC campus than is Islamophobia or abuses of other minorities.

The training videos claim antisemitism is hard to define, but in fact most concise definitions of antisemitism are very similar and roughly interchangeable. The training videos also incorrectly claim that Zionism is subject to many different interpretations, when in reality all mainstream Jewish organizations agree that it is an integral part of Judaism that advocates for Jewish sovereignty in its ancestral homeland of the Land of Israel after centuries of expulsion from the land, persecution, and massacres. There are disputes over what qualifies as antisemitic. It is not de facto extremist to criticize travel government policies. Language demanding the elimination of the world's only Jewish state, thereby denying the right of the Jewish people to self-determination is antisemitic. Students who watch the videos earnestly and in good faith may have no idea that common signs on university campuses such as 'From the River to the Sea,' Palastina will be free; 'Globalize the Inflatable,' 'Clean the World of Jews,' 'Zionists are not welcome here,' or 'Israel is committing genocide' are widely recognized as having antisemitic impact. Mainstream Jewish organizations agree, but that does not mean people who proclaim these slogans, who are often uninformed, are themselves antisemitic. Furthermore, support for Hamas as a 'Palastina,' 'resistance' movement is both antisemitic and immoral in a campus culture where the atrocities of October 7 are ignored, justified, or even denied.

SAMPLE INCIDENTS

The UIUC campus has a desolving record of not addressing what reasonably could be regarded as obvious antisemitic incidents. The University disbanded its Title VI office's finding that writing 'Das Reich' in front of Alpha Epsilon Phi, a Jewish sorority, did not contribute to a hostile environment for Jews, even though this slogan is meant to equals Jews with their Nazi tormentors. The administration decided that throwing bricks through the windows of two Jewish fraternities did not merit a campus massional condemning the antisemitic intimidation, despite maximalists for other incidents of harassment against other minorities. No other minority on the diverse UIUC campus has been subjected to the degree of verbal, physical and psychological hatred as has the Jewish university community. The double standard is glaring.

A tenured faculty member who repeatedly used the campus small system to urge students and colleagues to support the Spring 2024 anti-Zionist environment on the quest was never criticized by the Administration. A faculty member who repeatedly used his engineering classroom to proclaim his anti-Zionist political views was allowed to continue the practice in violation of national standards and despite complaints raised to the Administration.

On May 6, 2025, the documentary film Saturday October 7 was shown on campus. This heartbreaking film includes the Palestinian terrorists' own footage captured from their own GoPro cameras showing them firing semi-automatic weapons in Adibulism and massacring hiding civilians and pets. The documentary includes cell phone footage bi-wwly shot by Adibul and Noxa Festival attendees while under attack from the terrorists. More than a dozen involved, hosting University students repeatedly interrupted the showing. Double video evidence submitted by members of the audience to the University, their complaints about those students were dismissed.

In 2025 posters were put up on (and off) campus in which the University of Illinois Chabad Rabbi was personally targeted with accusations of supporting war crimes and other antisemitic language. The university took no punitive action. The university similarly took no action to punish a student who sent a threatening letter to the campus Hillel executive director.

CONCLUSIONS

Most of our senior administrators interact cordially with concerned Jewish members of the campus community but then take no action. When they do condemn antisemitism, they routinely do so only while also making sure to condemn 'hatedo of all kinds' and Islamophobia. thus attempting to dilute the Jewish experience which far outnumbers and outweighs other incidents on campus in frequency and intensity today. It seems that the University will do nothing to correct its permissive record unless the Federal government steps in. FAFAA hopes that these issues of campus antisemitism can be resolved internally. FAFAA seeks fairness so that the Jewish and Zionist members of the community who are under constant attack receive due Administrative action to generate a truly safe and inclusive campus.

We do not seek to punish our colleagues who are exercising their rights to free speech, however misguided or hateful they may be. We only ask that the University condemn them publicly when their speech veers into Jaw-hated and denies or distorts historical facts about Israel and Jewish history, particularly in the classroom. We want the Administration to act as quickly and clearly in defense of the Jewish and Zionist minority on campus as it does for the many other minority groups when incidents occur. We should be treated like all other American minorities on this university campus: free to express our views, free from harassment, and free from career retribution.

Can Quad Cities recover from the beefy body blow of losing Tyson Foods?

Soof a to 2026 when age were so 2026.

Persistent shortage of cattle are leading to substantial increases in prices at the grocery store, losses for beef processors and how a meaningful economic blow to a part of Illinois that already is hurting — Quad Cities.

Arkansas-based Tyson Foods late last week announced plans to close its operating beef processing plant in Joplin, Illinois, just northeast of the Quad Cities. The company gave its mostly unnominal workforce of more than 2,500 moisture notice, although it said it would pay them for the 60 days that Illinois requires at minimum in mass layoffs.

The facility has been a major employer in the area for more than 40 years. Mainly serving farmers in Illinois and Iowa, the plant could procure up to 2,000 head-to-hole a day.

Tyson also shattered a smaller meat processing plant in Utah and is looking to sell corporate facility in Washington state. The company attributed the move to 'one of the most hustors, cattle shortage the country has ever experienced.' It said the trend isn't likely to change anytime next.

Tyson said it will consolidate its beef processing at existing plants in Amarillo, Texas, Holcomb, Kansas, and Dakota City, Nebraska.

There is a temptation in such circumstances to ask, w be sure. What a Joplin clump and not Holcomb? Or Dakota City — Indeed, Tyson has been shrinking its presence in Illinois as recent years. Four years ago, it announced the closure of corporate offices in Chicago and Downers Grove, consolidating those functions at its Springdale, Arkansas, headquarters.

But the rationalization of the beef industry is hitting a minimalism all over the country. The better response is for public officials and others in the community to determine what can be done to help as many of the families devastated by such a shock as possible, both in the short and long term.

Case in point. Just outside Philadelphia, in Charleston, Pennsylvania, the state company 280, the world's largest beef processor and also the biggest operating in the U.S. announced plans in June to shorten a manufacturing plant that completed 12,700. Gov. Jack Shapiro, the local business community and the United Food and Cosmetics of Washington, said that the food is not just a share, just involved, and less than two months later. 280 said it would transform the facility into an operation just saying that five immediate sale to consumers.

The move will preserve 400 jobs, and 280 is investing $50 million into the plant over the coming decade.

So it was good to see Republicans and Democrats' lawmakers on Illinois building Tuesday with Gov. Jill Pritzker's office and state agencies on ways to help the affected families and begin thinking about future uses at the site and addressing the ripple effects that will be felt by Illinois farmers and businesses dependent in no small part on the plant.

'It is critically important to get these stakeholders all working in the same direction to mobilize resources and strategies to try to off-road the industry as quickly as possible,' GOP state Sen. Brad Dutton of Dixon said in a release.

For the Quad Cities, the timing is awful. It's been one of the worst performing plans of the region economically, according to the most recent annual economic forecast put together by March's Academy on behalf of the Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting & Accountability. As of February, when the report was published, it said of the Quad Cities, 'The labor market has deteriorated, with payrolls and household employment falling further, and the labor force decline accelerating.'

Much of the days on the Quad Cities at the time was coming from the Trump tariff magazine office on agriculture. About the only reassuring thing the report had to say in February was that 'payrolls in lower-paying food manufacturing are expected to last steady over the next year.'

So much for that prediction.

Quad Cities needs help. As early as this shock is, it's an important step in the future. The Quad Republicans are much together productively and demonstrate to Illinoisans that քաղաքացին has no place when so many lose their jobs.

ON THIS DAY 64 YEARS AGO

ANOTHER FROM THE LIBERALS?

Tribune editorial board, Aug. 21, 1960

Deputy Minority Leader Ryan Spain and House Republican Leader Tony McCombie give a rebuttal after Gov. Jill Pritzker gave his State of the State and budget address on Feb. 16 at the Illinois State Capstain Springfield. BRION CASUALS-CONCASH TRIBUNE

The Illinois GOP just got a chance to hit reset. Take it, beleaguered Republicans!

Illinois Republicans are a superminority in the Illinois General Assembly. They haven't come close in the governor's race for the past two cycles.

Now, at least part of the political appearance behind the losing streak appears to be turning over. As a result, Illinois Republicans just received a two chance to hit reset.

The People Who Play By The Bailey PAC, operated by conservative radio host Dan Proff, has shut down, in lower things with the state show. That after amusing 842 million from GOP megadoster Richard Ubbins primarily during the 2023 election cycle.

Much of the PAC's money went toward supporting gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey's bid in 2022. Ubbins also donated more than $32 million directly to Bailey back then, for 2026. Ubbins bequeathed the PAC and gave directly to Ted Dobrowsky's gubernatorial campaign over Bailey, gifting a significantly smaller amount of money — about $210,000. Proff's consulting firm reportedly received more than $1 million from the PAC over its lifetime.

The results speak for themselves. Bailey lost handily in 2023, and Dobrowsky failed to advance to the general this time around.

Illinois conservatives should grab this moment with both hands. More specifically, the Land of Lincoln's GOP should use it as an opportunity to start fresh, improved serious leaders, focus on competent government and broad-and-fortier Illinois issues, and swear in building a durable political operation capable of winning competitive races.

Not because Republicans are always good and Democrats are always bad, but because Illinois voters deserve a viable political alternative and more balance in the running of a state all served by so overwhelming a supermajority.

While Proff's PAC has closed up shop, it'd be easy enough to set up another. The bigger story, in our view, is that the torrent of ill-focused Ubbins money into Illinois Republicans politics appears to have stopped flowing, at least for now. And that's a challenge but also an opportunity.

Listing up a new benefactor will be tough, and officially, Ubbins has spent more than $95 million on Illinois candidates and causes alone since 1996, nearly $60 million in the last 10 years, according to a Tribune analysis of state campaign finance records.

Fiscal conservatives also lost a serious financial

backer in Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, who announced his departure from Illinois in 2022 and now resides in Miami, Massachusetts. Florida Republicans are the happy recipients of political cash from Griffin, who recently gave Republicans Brown, Donalds to end $10 million gift.

That Griffin and Ubbins — not to mention former Gov. Bruce Banner, also a major source of Illinois Republicans cash previously — have shifted their focus objectives in a testament to the uphill battle conservatives face here.

Republicans desperately need more money. While the Illinois Republican Party has about $225,000 cash on hand, the Democrats have about $17 million. Likewise, Illinois leadership has a wide gap — House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch has about $11.5 million on hand, while House Minority Leader Tony McCombie has about $1.1 million. And, of course, there's the $65 million Gov. Jill Pritzker just dumped into his campaign, versus the $3.2 million so as Bailey has raised that time around for his much-improved effort.

In the money gap is a glaring weakness for Illinois Republicans. Dwindling Republican turnout in self-population parts of the state is another nagging issue later than after the March primary.

But nothing is permanent, and money that continues to finance being strategies and campaigns won't move the needle, either.

The new Illinois GOP Chair Rob Grogan is talking about party unity, and seems focused on overcoming the party's suburban issues, weak fundraising and internal warfare.

There are other Republicans who understand governing, understand Illinois and know perfectly well that perpetual ideological warfare isn't a substitute for building a functioning political party.

A model's success for Illinois Republicans minority include Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie of the areas and state Rep. Bruce Spain of Pierce, both of whom have offered sensible ideas and solutions to this broad on issues of gerry murdering and tax relief as recent months. There are those matters that many moderate Democrats share.

A successful Republican platform have should focus on losing Illinois' fiscal news, long term tax relief, fair maps and creating a culture in Springfield that is reported to convey it.

A moment like this can be viewed as a defeat or as a gift. We'd suggest Illinois Republicans view it as the latter.

OPINION

The Chicago Bears take the field before the first preseason game against the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field on Saturday. © JASON HAMBURG AND CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Where is the sense of urgency to keep the Chicago Bears in town?

By Willie Wilson SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

The city of Chicago has had its share of bad business deals: the 2009 parking meter leave, the Chicago Skyway leave, taxpayer-backed grocery store failures and the field's casino contract. Lining the Chicago Bears, around 90%, franchise, to Indiana or Arlington Heights would be the worst deal of all.

The Bears have been a tremendous driver of economic activity, job creation, tax revenue, sales revenue, concessions, hospitality and tourism. In 2020, the team generated about 8 million revenues of $629 million. That revenue will increase as the Bears win seven games and make a push for the Super Bowl.

As a businessman, I speak the language of the Bears and the community at large. It comes down to common location and a willingness to work with the good laid out by Bears ownership and the citizens of Chicago. According to Bears leadership, discussions with Illinois and Chicago leaders have been 'minimal' since the legislature adjusted earlier this summer, without passing the megaprojects bill. In fact, neither Gov. J.B.Pritzker nor Mayor Brandeis Johnson has provided another offer for the Bears to consider staying in Chicago or the state.

With that diligence underway at two sites in Hammond, there does not appear to be a sense of urgency or behalf of Pritzker, Johnson or legislative leaders. Bears leaders during a

news conference this month reaffirmed their focus on moving to Hammond.

'To Indiana, they've been very proactive, very communicative and very solutions oriented,' team Chairman George McCauley noted.

Perhaps politicians who are not busy, unapologize cannot fully appreciate the importance of properly tax certainty, infrastructure needs and a domed stadium. Indiana Gov. Mike Braun is a businessman. Before politics, he ran logistics and filed fashion enterprises, so he knows how to underestimate the Bear moving to Indiana could be. This is why he urged his legislature to move quickly and offer $5 billion in public incentives toward a new Bears stadium.

Illinois leaders seem to be despoading as it relates to the Bears. Maybe that think the Bears are bluffing about Indiana and the real play is Arlington Heights!

The city of Chicago has too much at stake to allow the Bears to have. Economic impact to hospitality, hotels, tourism and jobs would be astronomical. I organize the Bears leaving Chicago to familiarize their lives lost their homes and been forced to leave the city. These familiar take with them their talents and resources.

Chicago and the Park District would lose most of millions in annual lease payments, allowances taxes and local economic activity generated by gannity crowds. Local businesses that support Bears games might be forced to close. Additionally, the state would lose $32.5 million per year in state-

level tax revenues.

The Dallas Cowboys generate $1.3 billion in annual total team revenue, the highest in the NFL. Estimated economic impact for their host city of Arlington, Texas is $70 billion over the life of their extended lease agreement. Cowboys' ownership and Arlington officials work together, and it is a win-win for the team and city. Ownership of the stadium remains with the city.

Illinois leaders should work day and night on a deal to keep the Bears in Chicago. A domed stadium would allow Chicago to have a Super Bowl and year-round concert events. This could triple the current revenue from the Bears.

As a businessman, I believe we could negotiate a deal to keep the Bears in Chicago. It would take creativity and an incentive package that includes tax relief, outside investments, naming rights and other ad opportunities.

After watching the Bears' first preseason game, I am more convinced that domed leaders need to do more to keep the team in Chicago.

The following are suggestions to keep the Bears in town:

• Pritzker and Johnson should offer the Bears a win-win type program that would allow them to build a new stadium in Chicago along the blackout. They should use the former Michael Boose Hospitalate.

• Pritzker and the Illinois legislature should cap property taxes for citizens of Chicago and provide tax certainty

to the Bears.

• Johnson should consider additional vacant land for a new Bears stadium.

• Pritzker and Johnson should consider two Chicago professional teams sharing a domed stadium.

• Johnson should create a task force consisting of business people to negotiate with Bears leadership.

• Johnson should lead a major underreaction of Soldier Field that includes a dome.

Pritzker should call a special session to get a deal done for the Bears and people of Chicago.

Bears leaders have indicated that they are open to discussions regarding more stadium in Chicago and Arlington Heights.

I urge elected leaders to commentate and find a way to keep the Bears in Chicago. It would be good for jobs, revenue and our city. Here is the time in 'Bear' down.

Bears leadership is the same as the name would not change. Can you imagine the Chicago Bears of Arlington Heights? Or the Chicago Bears of Hammond?

If the Bears leave Chicago and Illinois, there will be economic savings. Political leaders who failed to act will pay a heavy price.

I write this commentary to make these comfortable with allowing the Chicago Bears to move out of our city uncontrollable.

The US cannot afford to lose what makes Head Start work for families

By Terri J. Sabol SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

One is four childcare work in Chicago, or 25%, are led to Head Start funding. In some neighborhoods, 45 more than 80%.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched the program more than six decades ago, and it has continued to offer early childhood education, health, nutrition and family service to support millions of low-income families across the country.

In Chicago, half of the city's Head Start families rely on it so their parents can work, according to the Early Childhood Research Alliance of Chicago (ECRECAD). If you don't have a child in the program, it's easy to miss what's about to happen. The federal government is quietly proposing changes that would hollow out the country's most durable early childhood education program – and, with it, the local childcare system that keeps parents employed and kindergartners ready for school entry.

At first glance, the proposed move from the 2010 on Head Start regulations and education's wages and benefits would almost enticing, even to strengthen researcher off Head Start like me.

Two billion dollars in savings and reduced administrative burden per person at, and an additional 250,000 Head Start slots. It's almost too good to be true. That's the same for.

The savings largely come on the back of childcare workers, who are already among the lowest-paid professionals on there, earning often only $10 per hour.

Jasmine Ortiz seeks up her children, Shamoun, A. Jeff, and Weng, 10 months, from Brightpoint's Mitzi Fresharm Child & Family Center on Aug. 1 BrightPoint operates six early training centers in the state that provide Head Start services, including this Englewood location. CHRIS DRESS-CHICAGO TRIBUNE

HHS has proposed removing recent requirements for higher wages and benefits, calling them 'costly and overly prescriptive'. In Chicago, Head Start educators are already leaving for higher paying jobs at places such as Amazon's fulfillment centers. Cut their pay, and the classrooms that remain will be staffed by less experience of teachers – if they can be notified at all.

Those promised additional slots are achieved by increasing the number of children in each classroom. The proposed old-wooded allotment all better on class size and child-to-staff ratios and instead default to state licensure standards.

For example, Head Start currently caps classrooms for

3-year-olds at eight children per teacher. In Illinois, that could stay to 10-to-1 – a 25% increase. Other states would be much worse.

In Mississippi, for example, it could stay to 16-to-1, meaning one teacher would be responsible for 70% more children. As a former teacher in Chicago Public Schools, I dare am one who thinks that is a good choice to speak a day with it. Once your olds while earning $10 an hour – the national average for childcare workers.

The administrators goal of reducing administrative burden goes hand in hand with the gutting of the regulations that make Head Start special. As one example, the proposed rules are just the entire framework for family and community

engagement – the services that make Head Start a whole-family, and poverty intervention rather than just dietetic.

Economists in a classic 2013 study found that Head Start increased the time parents spend reading and doing math with their children.

My own research from 2014 shows that Head Start raises the level of education parents themselves attain. Our most recent work, from 2024, demonstrates that supporting parents through childhood education and training does not interfere with the benefits of Head Start for children.

Another recent study finds that families whose children begin Head Start at age 5 are lasting gains in household income. These positive effects on birth due to Head Start offering a key work support (full-day childcare) as well as key services, such as GED courses and parenting classes.

These beneficial outcomes are also because of the deeply human-centered approach to Head Start, where it functions as a place of time, a source of community and a hub for the services that low-income families otherwise may struggle to pass together.

If the family engagement component is removed, the benefits do parents likely go with it. Most people would agree Head Start could use some changes.

Reporting requirements are hard-breezer. Some performance standards deserve a fresh look. But the proposed rule doesn't trim old age – it strips out the pieces that make Head Start work.

It reduces math and literacy instruction requirements. It obitu-

nates required medical and dental screenings. It removes Spanish instructions for English language learners. Public comment on the proposed rules is telling. What remains will be subject, and fairly unsafe, daycare for working, low-income families.

The $25 billion in short-term savings will be paid back, with interest, over decades in fact human potential. Six decades of research show that strong investment in young children produces some of the highest returns in public policy.

Head Start was launched in 1981 as part of President London Johnson's War on Poverty, designed by developmental scientists in collaboration with policy makers. The story of Head Start has never been a later tale. There have been missteps and disappointments, but it is one of the few federal programs that has taken the best available evidence and built a nationwide delivery system around it.

Policy makers, researchers and experts need to use the best evidence to discover ways to improve Head Start, not dismantle it.

Head Start has always shown what happens when science, humanity and many policy must. In Chicago and beyond, we can't afford to cut that go and lose our best start.

OPINION

All should be managed like nuclear weapons — urgently

Elizabeth Shackelford

Last month, the 16th world war shake off, on event that concluded like a science fiction plot. Artificial intelligence agents escaped from their closed testing environment, across office open internet and back to him: another company's system without human knowledge. There all agents from OpenAI, standing U.S. tech company, had been tasked to solve an issue too. Apparently they thought they might find the answer easier in the outside, so they found a way to get there.

All agents are All powered systems that can perform tasks and make decisions, and they are getting more advanced every day. In this case, All agents created a message based on communication with each other and worked collaboratively to find vulnerabilities they could exploit. The episode demonstrates both the remarkable capacity of AI and the targeting risks of the

As will likely become the most powerful tool that humans have ever created. Nuclear weapons are the only other human made tool that compares to nature of destruction potential, so global leaders should take human from how the world has successfully managed that threat so far. The AI threat could be even greater, since it can operate independent of, and it is a control vs. human action or direction. Nuclear risk still refers to human do human error. Some experts argue that an AI agent might even never control or control weapons transmission leaders and use them against us.

The fact that nuclear weapons have not yet destroyed the world was not had or as taken. It was the success of hard diplomatic work and cooperation. This is the kind of impact and collective action that the world needs on AI now, at many experts have been proud to have.

After the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the existential threat of nuclear weapons was clear. Ironically, it was the United States that that had the lead in seeking global agreement to call their proliferation and use. Having

those weapons was not enough to protect us from the threats they posed. The technology had to be closely and collectively mentioned so that the civilized number of nuclear science could be realized while the risks were still contained.

The U.S. government first proposed an international organization to limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons and manage the spread of nuclear technology in 1951. This led to the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency in 1972, which was followed by years of negotiations among many countries, both those with nuclear weapons and those without. Hundreds of multilateral meetings were convened to negotiate the scope and terms.

In 1983, President John F. Kennedy warned that, if negotiations failed, at many as 25 cases from might have nuclear weapons in the 1970s, that they often led to the 1969 Treaty on the New Profit oration of Nuclear Weapons. That nuclear weapons have not been

used in warfare again since 1945, and that only nine nations possess nuclear weapons today, are proof of the success of this diplomatic fear.

Nuclear fear was greatest when nations were racing to develop those weapons faster than each other at a time when the world knew far less about their capacity and how they worked. This is where we are with AI today, so we should act accordingly. The world must shift away from global competition and forward cooperation, since this is a threat and is no longer that no country can contain on its own.

What is happening with AI today, however, is the opposite, particularly in the United States. AI research, development and management have are almost exclusively in the hands of the private sector, with no meaningful regulation or from the government. The AI approach of President Donald Trump's administration has been to musi-

nize national competitiveness over safety, avoiding any regulation that might slow down U.S. companies in the global AI arms race. It has made cooperation with the government on new model releases voluntary and prohibited any mandatory licensing or other requirements for AI development.

In office, those AI companies are working with no statements or safety requirements. Imagine if the U.S. government had given the private sector the kind of free hand with nuclear technology. Even food companies are subject to more scrutiny and standards than AI. Three leading international agreements given to help in humans alone. The national and global approach to AI just isn't serious yet.

This must change, but the outlook isn't promising. Nuclear magnolification of the in during the Cold War would never have succeeded without the coupon which it exhibits United States and the Soviet Union. Today's AI

landscape requires the cooperation of its two leading agents to the United States and China. The Trump administration has made clear, though, that a problem is certainly and aggressively in global affairs and a suspicious of multilateral cooperation, so it is unlikely to play a constructive role here. The fact: After a press release is global threat.

President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbov has agreed in 1969 that a "nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." It is time that today's great powers made a similar pact in AI. If we wait for the AI version of Hiroshima before we respond, it may be too late.

She's is a position with a dear mandate to secure the best possible benefits for the folks she represents, and by any measure, she's delivered in quality. But, to continually push, refuse to compromise, and frequently alienate potential allies and supporters is not just politically more explicit, it's also exhausting for all Chicagoans who can about the future of our city.

Replacing lead service lines

Chicago has roughly 400,000 leaders over time, many serving homes built before 1999. There is no safe level of lead exposure, and elevated lead levels were found in roughly one third of Chicago homes that voluntarily turned their water, according to an future analysis.

Replacing those lines should be an urgent public-health priority. Instead, Chicago is paying roughly $10,794 per line — about three times what $5/yr pay.

Think about that five roughly the cost of replacing one lead line in Chicago. $5/yr can replace three.

In Chicago's current rate, replacing all 400,000 lines could cost approximately $13.5 billion over two decades. Meanwhile, Chicago has replaced only about 10,000 lines in five years and will save four, a school or government dramatically accelerate that pace. Motor Branden, Arizona, has said he is seeking additional state and federal funding. That's fine, but more outside money doesn't answer the most important question. Why is Chicago paying so much more than one by communities for essentially the same way?

Chicago has $10.6 billion annual budget and has found hundreds of millions of dollars for other pressing priorities for the city. There's a right to ask. What is the mayor focusing on that is more important than protecting our children and families from lead to their drinking water.

This isn't about politics. It's more powerless, accountability and basic fiscal responsibility.

If $5/yr can replace a lead service line for a fraction of what Chicago pays, City Hall should be able to replace the difference and the...

Chicagoans shouldn't have to put these times more for clean, safe drinking water.

— Thomas Schwartz of Chicago

Communities need this project

Anti-almost minor activists box Major Branden, Arkansas for not disavowing the massive Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park project in Chicago. If there was a vote in three communities, perhaps more people would be let the quantum computing development that not.

South Chicago and the East Side were economically and commercially more often in the middle of the 20th century. Back then, the

mills were booming, you could see the mill short from the blue furnaces on the car windshields and no one really complained because of all the jobs.

These communities desperately need some development to help revitalize them, and you have to wonder what is the real agenda for those activists. Nothing they're doing is really helping anyone — Andrew Kankovskas, Chicago

renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran calmed in recent weeks, the Navy is enforcing a reimposed blockade on Iranian ports in the final of Neiman, and the Trump administration has offered no clarity on how it outside to wind down the war.

Reports has said the U.S. can maintain the blockade "subcludes".

President Donald Trump this week downplayed reports about conditions on the Lincoln, which led its homegrown to Iran Diego in November and arrived at the Middle East in January. Trump called the nearly nine months at sea that the sailors endured a "good period of time" but asked that "over the years, we've had firemen there much longer".

Trump told reporters Monday that he spoke with a retired admiral over the weekend who recounted being an ships for "much longer." Trump said the admiral and told him that the Lincoln's "beautifully maintained sail beautifully takes care of." Trump did not name the admiral.

In a statement headed after visiting the Lincoln, Cooper praised the career's leaders for prioritizing mental health and resilience.

• History will record that deployment as one of the most operationally intense

and consequential of the modern era," Cooper said.

The Washington issue the USS George H.W. Bush in the Middle East, having less without an American airmail strike group at a time when China has shown more signs of aggression.

Besides the two carrier strike groups, the Navy is maintaining about 20 weekdays in the Middle East outside the Persian Gulf, including one amphibious ready group carrying a Marine Expeditionary Unit, and several deliveries that are enforcing Trump's renewed blockade of Israeli ports, which has entered in 1995 day.

The lack of a U.S. carrier in the Pacific may be short-lived if the Navy displays another in the next couple of months. But it shows how the open-ended operations of the Iran are running some American sailors rugged, uniforms out, while the Trump administration further remains from the Asia-Pacific region and focuses on the Western Hemisphere.

Meanwhile, Trump has threatened "overnooker economic consequences" on any national or international, while Iran, without offering details. The threat appeared to be his latest efforts outside the country from the global economy and pressure on leadership into the upstating as end to the war.

The United States has already imposed debilitating sanctions on Iran's economy

outy and its leadership, and the Trump administration has previously sanctioned certain foreign businesses and organizations that trade with Iran. Trump's regency worded social media and Wednesday seemed to suggest that he could target nations that they Iranian oil, without naming any.

The president has, on occasion, backed down from such threats.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Argublu injected the latest warnings calling it "a distrust" from the United States' own crises and that such "infant policies" will stir more hostility among Iranians and "bring more inflame."

Treasury Secretary Scott Benson said Thursday that Iran will face the "greatest constitutional economic instability in the history of the world."

In a 1996 interview, Benson threatened second-or-nationism on nations and compared that conductual business with Iran, saying it's time for U.S. allies to make a decision on where they stand.

China's government and India are major buyers of Iranian oil, though Benson didn't call them out by name. In its first reaction to Trump's comments, Beijing said sanctions and pressure against work and called for a diplomatic resolution.

The closed Ford City Mall in Chicago on Wednesday, ANTONIO PEREZ PHOTOS/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago Plan Commission OKs Ford City Mall demolition plan

Many neighbors object to proposed $200 million industrial development

By Brian J. Rogal CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Chicago Plan Commission won't liberalize to approve a plan to demolish Chicago's closed Ford City Mall, and replace it with a collection of warehouses and distribution buildings.

The $200 million proposal by Chicago-based Kure Industrial drive opposition from many neighboring residents. They said the six-year-old mall at 7018 S. Cicero Ave. had once been a gathering place for the West Lawn community, and replacing it with an industrial development, especially one that could bring a lot of diesel truck traffic, was a bad move.

"Ford City was for families and should remain for families, not warehouses," said Esau Chavez of West Lawn Conservation Group.

Aloffe-Catterton, president and founder of the West Lawn Conservation Club, said he wasn't against demolishing the empty indoor mall, which struggled for years with high vacancy and deteriorating physical conditions. But he said, the surrounding West Lawn neighborhood needed a new community hub with housing, updated retail, parks and hopefully new transit options.

Abbott to pay $4.70 M to settle case claims

Company still faces 1,700 lawsuits over its formula for premature babies

By Lisa Schmecker CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Abbott Laboratories has agreed to pay $670 million to settle a high-profile lawsuit and claims made on behalf of thousands of others related to allegations that its formula for babies born prematurely causes a dangerous intestinal disease.

The settlement comes after an appeals court upheld a $495 million judgment against Abbott in the high-profile case earlier this year. Even after the settlement announced that week, north suburban-based Abbott continues to face a 1700 lawsuits across the country over whether its formula for preterm infants causes secretariat permissible NRIC, to which tissue lining the intestine becomes inflamed and dry.

Abbott said in a news release Thursday that the settlement is not an admission of any liability and that it stands by the safety of its products and their "breastache" to the care of preterm infants.

"While Abbott remains confident in the safety of these products and the science supporting them, this company believes that the agreement air in its best long-term interest and represents a constructive step toward substantially resolving the overall litigation," Abbott said in the news release.

Attempts to reach attorneys for Margo Gill, who brought the case that resulted in a $498 million verdict, were not immediately successful Thursday afternoon.

That case originally went to trial in Missouri Circuit Court in St. Louis in 2024, with Gill, an Illinois resident, alleging that her daughter Robyns Dixon developed NRIC after she was given Abbott's own well-based infant feeding products as a premature infant.

Davis, who was born in 2023, had about 74% of her intestine removed after she was diagnosed with NRIC, and the suffered brain damage from the illness, an attorney for Gill previously said.

The jury awarded $90 million in compensatory damages and $400 million in punitive damages — for largest works by far, at the point, in a case over whether preterm infant formula causes NRIC.

RTA approves funding estimates in final regularly scheduled meeting

Northern Illinois Transit Authority takes control in September

By Talia Sugito CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Regional Transportation Authority board members met for the final regularly scheduled meeting of the agency's meet than 50-year history Thursday morning, approving travel funding estimates for next year and winning poetic about the governing body's treatment (Adolescence).

The RTA's which oversees the Chicago Transit Authority, Metro and Pace, will be officially replaced by the Northern Illinois Transit Authority on Sept. 1, pursuant to transit reform legislation approved by state lawmaker David M.

When lawmakers passed the transit legislation in the middle of the night last October, their normal cleaning fiscal crisis that had threatened to cause drastic cuts to transit service in the Chicago area. The legislation is expected to raise more than $1 billion for the region's main transit systems annually with the help of a sales tax line and a diversion of the state's sales tax on motor-factory public transit.

"We funding without reform" was the mantra in Springfield as lawmakers debated potential funding measures last year, and the law

also restructures how the region's transit systems are powered.

NITA, as it's called, is intended to become a more powerful version of the RTA. Advocates hope the new funding and governance structure ultimately lead to more frequent, safer transit service — and better coordination between the CTA, Metro and Pace. The agencies have historically planned transit service independently even though transit riders often use more than one service — for instance, taking of TA bus to a Metro train station, or transferring from a Pace bus to the CTA.

Current RTA board members' terms open Sept. 1, although a handful of current board members have been appointed to the NITA board that will replace it. Thursday was the RTA's final regularly scheduled board meeting. Members of the RTA transition committee are scheduled to meet again next week.

The outgoing board members Thursday approved operating funding estimates for the CTA, Metro and Pace through 2029 AB in all, the region's operating budget is estimated at more than $3 billion next year — with about $1.3 billion coming from new NITA Act revenue, the RTA's manager of budget and analysis, Geoff Bishop, told board members.

The CTA is expected to receive last over $2 billion in operating funds next year, with Metro getting

nearly $944 million and Pace receiving close to $500 million. The first operator-panitment service, which is funded separately from the agency's own budget, for the entire region.

Also Thursday, the RTA board approved estimates for the region's five-year capital funding program. Capital funds for the region most year are expected to total more than $2 billion, who has made up of cash from federal, state and local sources.

"Thanks, Brian," Board Chair Kirk Dillard said after the RTA's capital program manager, Brian Lovenberg, presented the funding plan. "Isn't it nice to have money?"

Throughout the meeting, leaders expressed a general sense of optimism about the more liquid NITA era.

"The RTA was created to do something that at the time, no other regional body had been asked to do, and that was to manage, coordinate these distinct, diverse transit operators across a large and complex region," RTA Executive Director Lauren Redden said.

"That massive, required a board willing to balance competing interests, tight budgets and an enormous amount of public responsibility," she said, adding that the RTA board had done its job "often in the face of chronic, insufficient funding and authority."

"I sent two decades on the board, the RTA kind of her/had from concrete to another," Coulson said. "We were driving an old Model T Ford that kept spattering along. But now with NITA we have a broad new Cadillac with all the bells and whistles," he said. "And under the law we turn it over to our teenage son to drive."

"I have studied that theory going into a government body that hastens the funding and the oversight power that the RTA has always sought," Dillard said during his own remarks. "I never going anywhere," Dillard said as he thanked board members.

"I'll still be around, especially at a ride."

Dillard hasn't been trained to one of the NITA scale that appointing bodies have filled in the 18th week of still not clear who all the new NITA board members will be.

Walmart records weakest US sales growth in 6 years

Results add to anxiety about financial health of shoppers

By Anne D'Imocento ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Walmart reported its slowest growth in U.S. comparable sales in six years during its most recent quarter, and the retailer's guidance for the rest of the year became an additional to Walmart.

Walmart's second quarter formed anxiety about the financial well-being of low-income shoppers who are spending cautiously as prices rise at the gas pump and every other side.

Company shares tumbled Thursday and helped drag the U.S. stock market lower.

Walmart is considered a barometer of consumer spending given its vast customer base. More than 100 million customers are on its website or in its stores every week, according to Walmart.

Walmart's comparable sales in the U.S., which measure sales at stores open at least a year along with online sales tied to those locations, rose 2.6% in the second quarter.

That is down from 6.1% in the first quarter. Excluding the well-known category that includes Walmart's pharmacies, comparable sales increased 3.4% in the second quarter. Sales were hit by federal legislation that requires pharmacies to dispense something over $500 per drug or capped prices, but the U.S. has not seen a $10 billion Wall Street procedure of a 3.8% increase, according to FactSet.

Still, Walmart's quarterly profit, boosted by a $2.5 billion of Federal, largest depositions, and would increase Walmart's cash continues to take market share.

Walmart is using the U.S. tariff on its temporarily lower prices on 11,000 items, a half Thursday, particularly on groceries and groceral merchandise.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this year that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he imposed double-digit import taxes, meaning U.S. companies were even outfused from the government.

Yet Walmart is trying to contain prices as it is squeezed by the same pressures hammering the American consumer, namely rising energy costs due to fighting in Iran. The company expects to book an

additional $2 billion in incremental fuel costs this year.

Moving comparable sales, particularly in Walmart stores, also reflects a strategic shift toward e-commerce, Walmart's membership and advertising. Walmart's domestic e-commerce business, which has become more than regular in the retailer, rose 3.4%.

U.S. e-commerce now represents 25% in the overall U.S. business, Walmart said, double the share this year ago.

Chief Financial Officer John David Bussey said Friday that when gasoline prices rise above $4, the company can feel it. "There's a psychological impact to that that there are choices that consumers are making," he said.

The price of a gallon of gasoline ticked higher Thursday, according to AAA, reaching $4.10.

Walmart's quarterly net income was $6.37 billion, so 40 cents per share, in the three-month period ended July 31. Adjusted per-share results were 41 cents, easily topping the 74 cents Wall Street had expected, according to FactSet.

Sales rose 5.9% to $187.94 billion. Analysis were predicting $186.62 billion.

Flower business blooming

Term, gardener's neighbors shared their land to help her pursue life-long floral dream

By Jessica Damiano ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Mansa Mendez-Franklin walks through any of the time flower farms she rose in Memphis, Tennessee, her first thoughts are of gratitude. Partly for the flowers and the loss, but mostly for the support of her neighbors.

That's because members of her local Facebook Boy Nothing group shared their closest home and partners, allowing her to achieve her dream of owning a flower shop and working as an urban flower farmer.

"None of this would be possible without an immensely supportive community," she said.

In 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mendez-Franklin was a teacher planning her wedding.

"I thought it would be fun to grow and designing own wedding flowers," she said. So, the following producer planted "every square inch" of the tiny yard in front of her rental home with seeds and added pots along the walkway and on the porch.

The experience fortified her lifelong dream of working with flowers, she said, "but I didn't own land or have a path to owning land."

As a member of the Boy Nothing group, she had noticed members offering unwanted furniture, household goods and other items due to those who needed them.

"Somebody once posted looking for a French force for their kid, and within six hours, they had one," she said. "What group can do that," she reasoned. "Now certainly there's someone who has a garden they can't use and would let me grow flowers there."

In her post, she expressed her desire to grow and sell flowers, and promised to be a good brand and provide the owner with weekly bonuses. "Without I assume, my phone starts trying like crazy," she said. Within a week, she had a planned 40 hours of her place to grow flowers.

That first year, 2021, Mendez-Franklin directed her given Members of the online group began dropping off cardboard and name other posts.

"People even volunteered to help weed or plant," she said.

Today, she runs her flower business full time. She owns the Midtown Bramble and Bloom-Brown shop, overseas state

farm plots of various sizes and employs 10 people. Last year, the business held 57 workshops and provided flower arrangements for 44 weddings and large rooms.

Mendez-Franklin's team transformed the leaves and neglected garden rates both and even of flowers. Along with the bonuses and other posts, the homeowners are able to enjoy flower garden without the responsibility of maintaining them.

The agreements are formalized with leaves that spell out everything from foundation to water costs.

Recent highlights, who were one of Mendez-Franklin's original plots, said she didn't look at what she had ever seen on the Boy Nothing group. The bonuses she received are lovely, she said, "but the biggest benefit is that it is made a community for me."

"We have a garden walk in the neighborhood, and I've come to know other neighbors and gardeners that I wouldn't otherwise know. And, of course, there's Maries's stuff and Maries, so well," faithfully said.

To give back, Mendez-Franklin launched the Flowers for Good programs, which threaten flowers to local organizations, schools and charities.

Her shop also has a few and library for vegetables and native wildflowers.

Hong Kong firm seeks $1.5B in Panama Canal loss

By Chan Ho-Him ASSOCIATED PRESS

CK Hutchines said it had begun new arbitrators proceedings against Panama and alleged that the Central American country had breached an government protection treaty through "coverings acts that targeted a decade-old ports commission" as a "state attack campaign" on the company's assets in Panama.

Panama's government is February seized

the Balboa and Cretnihal ports, located on each end of the Panama Canal, after its Supreme Court found that a concession held by CK Hutchines's subsidiary to run the two ports was an unenforceable.

The two ports and their own Panama Canal became part of U.S.-China business that is Provided Donald Trump's reticence the White House last year after he accused China of "owning" the canal.

The Panama Canal is managed and owned by Panama. But CK Hutchines subsidiary Panama Ports Co. had run the two ports on the canal from 1997 and had reserved its commission 20 years in 2021.

Beijing and Hong Kong had hit back at Panama over its takeover of the ports.

CK Hutchines, controlled by the family

of Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-dong, last year announced an initial $25 billion draft to off the global ports business, including the two Panama ports to a consortium involving U.S. news reports from BlackRock. But the U.S. government has a broader geopolitical tensions and legal challenges among China, the U.S. and of America.

In March, Panama Ports had separately sought a new $10 billion in compensation from Panama over its takeover of the ports that it said was provided under international arbitration proceedings. CK Hutchines said the actions were making progress.

CK Hutchines said Thursday's new proceedings were about treaty rights, during front Panama front contract rights in the earlier arbitration case.

FTC targets personalized price tactics by retailers

By Dan Ann Durbin ASSOCIATED PRESS

Companies that secretly very price a hand on how much they think individual customers will get could face federal charges under a proposed policy released this week by the Federal Trade Commission.

"When consumers see a listed price, they expect it to be their same price that everyone else sees, not the retailer's estimate of how much they are willing to pay based on their personal value," FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said.

The FTC has had 10 over on personalized pricing for several years. In a preliminary report filed in 2020, the agency found that when a clothing company and other securities were using third-party companies to help them individualize within prices based on shoppers' locations, knowing business and other factors, including how long they left items in their virtual shopping carts.

Ferguson said the FTC doesn't have the legal authority to make personal pricing in all circumstances. But under the proposed policy, businesses would have to "check" and conspicuously disclose "if they are engaging in personalized pricing and share the type of deal they've used to set those prices."

The proposed policy states that companies engage in personalized pricing without revealing the practice and the data behind a could isolate the FTC, not which prohibits sales or sales price processes.

The FTC is seeking comment on the policy for 30 days.

The National Retail Federation, which represents big companies like Walmart and Target as well as smaller stores, said Walmart, like that retailers want to continue to offer incentives like loyalty programs, which collect personal data and provide offers tailored to individuals.

Abbott appealed that decision, and earlier this year, a Missouri appellate court upheld that verdict. Abbott had been in the process of asking the Missouri Supreme Court to take up the case when the settlement was announced in court documents Wednesday.

Though Abbott and Moral Johnson Nutrition—another manufacturer of cow's milk

based formula for babies born prematurely—contains a four-many more similar lawsuits across the country, only a hundred lives in the state—and

A trial in a similar case against Moral Johnson is now underway in federal court in Chicago, where hundreds of the cases are consolidated. It is considered a better case, meaning its outcome is meant to help guide how all the effort can be done at once in Chicago might proceed, and/or how to settle those

cases. Three previous bell worker cases in federal court in Chicago were thrown out before they went to trial.

Many of the effort cases against Abbott and Moral Johnson are in state courts rather than federal courts. In April, a Cook County jury awarded $70 million in damages in four cases against Abbott brought by mothers who alleged that the company's formula for premature infants cannot then before to become severely ill.

In another trial, Abbott and

The first statement, the agencies said, "There is no conclusion evidence that preterm infant formula causes NIC."

Several Post Commission members questioned whether Barry Ford City plan had undergone enough community systems. Many of the past developments are approved by the commission with unanimous or near unanimous votes, but at least on members abstained from the election.

Last summer, Chica's pre-bond Karr presented in

'Their children, he has, I am I place, I will and I'm about here. Read was here said the family would like to protest accommodations outside of London.

The question that game a few people in Britain are asking is 'the change?' The answer, royal observers say, may hinge in part on Harry's longing to give his children the kind of upbringing that he remembers finally, hence the public attention and press scrutiny that he has repeatedly determined.

In 2025, Harry described Britain as 'control to the heritage of my children and a place it went there to but of home as much as where they live at the mansion of the U.K.' In a statement read on by his lawyer during a court

hearing over security for his family.

'They wasn't their children to grow up as British citizens as much as Americans,' said Ed Owens, the author of 'After Elizabeth Can the Monarchy have finally' and a fellow at the Royal History of Security. 'They want their children to imbibe the trailers, culture, history, heritage of their father's country.'

'Of course,' he added quickly, 'there are other factors at play here.'

The most significant of those may be the chance to further repair Harry's wife, possibly with his father, who was diagnosed with cancer in February of 2024, with the Ingham Palace has said that Charles is responding well to treatment, but in the BBC interview last year, Harry

said, 'I don't know how much longer my father has.'

'The BBC interview was the important in a remarkably public level of world waged from across the Atlantic by Harry and Meghan over the last six years. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, a book called 'Spain' and a six-part Netflix documentary, Harry unloaded on the mansion by he wasn't that no former member of the royal family had dared to do.

That created the kind of right that some Southern cards come back from.

In 2024, Harry met with his father for six at the king's London residence, in what appeared to be the first step toward healing their rift. And last month, the fronts took between father and son appeared to draw a bit more

when Harry and Meghan brought their children on a trip to Britain.

The family met privately with Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House a royal residence outside London, though a person familiar with the meeting said the possibility of a permanent move back to Britain did not come up then.

If the possibility of spending more time with the king was one motivation for the upcoming move, it seems unlikely that a similar rygge schismatic in the works with Harry's brother, William, the Prince of Wales. William is said to be furious about Harry's decision to write a rift all book. In the BBC interview, Harry conceded that 'some members of any family will

never forgive me.'

Catherine Minors, the author of 'Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Realtors' said that, based on his public silence and unwillingness to even meet with Harry, it appeared that William was 'not ready to repair things that he doesn't have that level of trust necessary to do so.'

She added, 'Both William and Harry have to be carrying the trauma from their childhood and that will complicate their reactions to anything.' 'There is also the issue of the family's security.'

Harry has said for years that he could not return to Britain until the government restored the police protection they withdrew when he stopped living, a working member of the royal family.

Harry lost a legal challenge to the decision that year. Asked about the issue Thursday, Prince Minister Andy Burnham said the question about the project level of security for Harry and Meghan was a 'private matter' for their family.

Owens contrasted Harry's decision to move back with the history of the world, who abide and the throne in 1916 to marry Wallis Simpson. 'They never managed to reconcile with the wider social and political situation.' 'They do leave it committed and does not attempt from the family and bring abroad.' And then there is the British media.

Harry all but declared war was a matter of all kind and nature over the past decade, securing them of a media-finding frenzy at his family's expense.

He was court case against the publishers of The Daily Minors and The Sun for phone hacking and the use of private investigators.

More recently, his claims of begging and wiretapping by The Daily Mail were dismissed by the court.

Now that those cases are settled, it remains to be seen how Harry and Meghan will be treated by their views on the media.

Royal observers said Thursday that they expect the family to try to keep her profiles, in part by likely choosing a place to live well outside London and for from the rubbish-based there.

But that may be difficult to do in practice, given the ways Harry and Meghan have chosen to become their lifestyle, which includes high-profile charities, the Netflix deal and other public activities.

Russian missile, drone barrage kills at least 16

Dozens injured in nighttime, hoarshang attack on Kyiv region

By Kamya Kulish ALEXANDRO WEEKS

KYIV Ukraine - Russia pounded the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and the surrounding region with scores of missiles and drones in a nighttime aerial attack that lasted for hours and killed at least 16 people, officials said Thursday.

Moscow's forces have to recent months intensified their ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, explaining Ukraine's chronic shortage of U.S. made Patriot air defense movements. Russia's weapons in its arsenal and its shoot down the missiles.

Let go to the Russian missile strikes have become a regular occurrence this summer. Just over two weeks ago, a Russian attack on Kyiv and its surrounding region killed 17 people, and nine were killed in the city two days before that.

The United Nations and last week that Kyiv was one of the hardest hit cities in July,

with at least 16 civilians killed and 202 planes.

At the same time, Ukraine has shifted the war onto Russian soil through long-range drone strikes on all facilities that have raised fuel shortages across the country. It has also unsettled the Russian public by striking warehouses of Wildberries, the country's biggest online retailer.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pleaded for countries to send more Patriot intercarpters to defense, but international stockpiles are low amid the ban war and Kyiv's more than four-year fight against Russia's invasion.

Russia's barrage also included cruise missiles and air powered drones that further strain air defenses.

Eupheism boomed across Kyiv in the dark, but the air force had little more recorded at 20 units across the country.

Emergency services said 10 people were killed in the capital, with another death in the Kyiv region. About 40 people were wounded, Zelensky said, as air raid warnings lasted until after dawn.

More than 16,000 people disclosed in Kyiv's unborn infamous wreckage, the system's operator said.

'It was a massive attack,' Zelensky said on social media, adding that Russia's 'bad been preparing 100 for a long time, combining different types of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, aiming to cause as much damage as possible to civilian civil-attractors.'

The Russian Defense Ministry said it struck a Kyiv subarmal on manufacturing components for Flaming's cruise missiles. Nine involved in the production and storage of drones, an immunization depot and a fugitive's center were also hit, it said.

Russia is able to produce more than 200 cruise and ballistic missiles per month. Ukraine's Intelligence agency told news outlet Ukrainska Pruska's 26 counterparts published Thursday. If his stockpiled more than 1,100 cruise missiles and about 150 Inkander-M ballistic missiles, as well as hundreds of missiles of other types, the agency was quoted as saying. It was not possible to independently verify the report.

and Russian officials do not routinely answer questions about the country's spread. Russia and Ukraine have ordered such cities with drones and missiles as their centers struggle to gain the upper hand on the 700-mile front line.

Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck an oil refinery in Nishankansky in Russia's Ytravian region, staring after, and the Tamarasid region, which is known as Russia's Krasnodar region, where there were also a black Ukraine has left both facilities to count months as part of its campaign to disrupt Russia's vital oil industry.

there had been a 'massive attack' in the region, even now, agency that reported citing his press service. Many of the dozen targeted Nishankansky's Zelensky economic areas, disrupting production at industrial sites and damaging residential buildings. This quoted him as saying.

The Russian Defense Ministry said air defenses also down 120 drones over the main number of Russian regions, the unvoted Crimea Peninsula and the Black and Arav was, in one of Ukraine's biggest aerial attacks of the war.

Russia's onslaught has sparked other European countries, especially those

bordering Ukraine, which has spreading data in from Minsk.

Army unit ties retention incentive to video game

By Ross Bynum ALEXANDRO WEEKS

SAVANNAH, Ga. — An Army unit is offering its money-argus (Altrona) (New weight) as an Army unit's day off-timed around the November release of the video game Grand Theft Auto V1.

Commanders of the 4th Brigade Engineer Battalion based at Fort Stewart, Georgia, believe free-time to indulge in the latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series — in which players commit

catjacking, battle police in shortness and attempt radioactive heats — will keep some soldiers to extend their military commitments.

The New 10 release of Grand Theft Auto V1 is expected to be one of the year's biggest entertainment events. Game publisher Take Two Interactive Super released sales figures for providers, but CEO Shona Zelnick recently called them 'unprecedented and astonishing.'

A career counselor with

the Army engineer battalian has had the idea with commanders to tie a retention pack to the game's release, in part to remind soldiers of their approaching revolutionary dates, said Lt. Col. Angel Tomlin, a Fort Stewart spokesperson.

'The idea was to have a unique incentive program that connects to what soldiers are interested in,' Tomlin said Thursday in a statement to The Associated Press.

Battalion commanders wrote in a July 28 memo

to soldiers that those who sign revolutionary contracts by Nov. 14 would receive 'a special's day pass'.

'This special pass is specifically designed to coincide with the highly anticipated release of the video game Grand Theft Auto V1,' battalion commander Lt. Col. Ryan Bridges wrote.

Tomlin said at least 20 of 150 eligible soldiers have signed up for the Yonka. To qualify, they must commit to serving at least two more years in uniform.

Black hopefuls eye policy, not history

8 candidates vying for governor hope to join short list in post

By Bill Barrow and Shawn Sloan ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. – Across 200 years, only three elected government on the Mets and has been Black – all Democrats and officers, including current Maryland Gov. Wm Moore.

But above could soon have company.

With Florida Republicans nominating Rep. Byron Donaldson, the Tuesday, three}( ) of the Black major party gubernatorial nominees in addition to Moore – men and women, Democrats and Republicans – on November had been.

“We do have a unique moment here,” said Meters, who recently became chair of the National Governors Association. He often says that his future, without “out and out of the past” has helped represents a bigger challenge that the country is still looking to overcome.

The Black nominees typically do not focus on the history of stakes, instead emphasizing their experience and policy proposals.

“Florida is a great opportunity to America,” Donaldson told reporters Tuesday night after not mentioning her sex at all in his victory speech. “If let you again write down that,” he added.

But many said that more reflective representation matters given the nation’s history from slavery to Jim Crow and the lingering efforts.

“It’s not a secret that some issues in the African American community get ignored and don’t have a sense,” said Karen Ford. Norwich's first Black Women's general and now the Democratic nominee for governor.

Ford said he keeps focus to men reaping from voting rights and civil rights to the economic.

Republican Lisa Demuth said she “has never had with any type of identity politics” as Minnesota's first Black House speaker and now her party's nominee for governor. “But I recognize the historic state we are in right now,” she said.

Michigan Republican dechose U.S. Rep. John Janos, who is Black, in their gubernatorial nominees.

Former New York Gov. David Patterson, a Democrat who was not elected but an outlay of whom Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008, celebrated that the slate creates party lines. “This is one day when maybe the Democrats and Republicans could stand in front of a statue of God Washington and let him know that we're finally getting it right,” he said.

Democrats, mean while, emphasized that their Black candidates who also include Florida's Lance Bottman in Georgia's Houston Johnson in South Carolina and David Crow-

ley in Wisconsin – are especially important after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for states to deliver legislative districts that are required or plurality nonwhite. “That was compounded by President Donald Trump's attacks on diversity initiatives and push to meet in love the U.S. tells its history of the slave trade and Jim Crow segregation.

“Governors, in many ways, are becoming the last lines of defense against what we're seeing in Washington,” Moore said.

Karen Pinney, who helped push Democratic President Joe Biden to select a Black woman at his vice president, tail running mate, said Black politicians often are the first and loudest advocates on issues that acutely affect Black constituents. She and others cited health disparities, such as maternal and infant mortality and sickle cell disease, antithenes noted that an additional economy hits harder in Black commu-

sition that, on average, have lower income and not work in than the wider population.

She said it is important to legislate to raise those matters and even move impactful efforts it can occur.

“These are people who have the power to shape our lives, and they shape the agenda,” Pinney said.

But the governors' use has been notoriously hard for the past years, and everyone more difficult than the U.S. human. Democrat Douglas Wilkie of Virginia took office in 2005 to the nation's first elected Black governor.

“I didn't become Maryland's first Black governor because the Democratic Party said, ‘I think it's time for you to put ‘Miss Moore up in the sun’.” Moore said “I think I run against the party.

“I don't think that the party is doing enough,” Moore added, specifically because top 7 candidates of a health situation where Black women anchor Democrats’ base.

Stacey Abrams, who lost two female governors' own, recalled white Democratic power planters mismiprotested for primary opponent in 2016, although she disputed that explicit racism was the issue.

“We do what we've done to make it's what we didn't do said. “Black women have not been executives, and the absence of that proof point becomes a shift condensing philosophy.”

This time, she noted, became already has been an executive as mayor of Mets in Minnesota, history will be made in November when the state slays to their female governor as Demuth competes against Democrat Amy Kisthuckus, a U.S. senator. Demuth said she looks forward to a day when such distinctions seem less notable.

“One of the things that I really do look forward to is where it is. Should doesn't have a no longer make history,” she said. “So I think

of young women, little girls that can handle at you, could I ever be governor of Minnesota? I hope to do so. I was, they're able to look at, point to that and say she's already at best.

In Georgia, Bottman told the National Association of Black Journalists last week that the does not “give a lot of support to the federal nature” of her campaign. Yet the notes her hand is Georgia has go “back at least five generations through a place where the leadership” and that her grandfather had to “walk through these back doors” when he moved to Mets in the government of the city. “I have been a lot and have an enemy” as always present with me.

Abrams, who has campaigned for Bottman and other Democrats that may not move direct, saying that all parties to whether politics of some kind – and that Republican' version is simply more coded.

“When you'c undertaken the campaign, the leaders of the humanity, you cannot then have on any identity doesn't matter and has no effect, and we've spent 200 years trying to realize with that identity with social, political and legal fights, the continued. “So it's deeply disingenuous, if not woefully naive, to say that identity is not a matter of power.”

Ferriss Gov. David Patrick, whose means in Massachusetts overlapped with Patterson in New York, said his race manned especially by his Black constituents and what they wanted from him. It was just different than the expectations of top predecessors,” he said, recalling criticism after he did not want a Boston neighborhood where a teenage had been killed by gun violence.

“His mother was on the never growing, and at some point she said while the camera were rolling, where is John Parrish?” he said. “Nobody had ever asked one of my predecessors to come to a certain state in a neighborhood. Never.”

Experts question Trump order to scale down US-SKorea drills

By Eric Schmitt and Valerie Cooper THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON – For years, the U.S. and North Korea militaries have participated in one of the largest military exercises in the world, with thousands of thousands of people in national preparing for possible North Korea aggression.

On President Donald Trump's orders, the Pentagon cartold off his rear's exercises and scaled back some five-for-components of the drill, which were already underway.

A series of Korean military officials are the most likely to undercut U.S. military readiness in the region at a time when allies are questioning the Trump administration's commitment to increase sailing, particularly in the US-country.

The president's decision is also unlikely to affect the person he hoped to re-enter North Korea dictator Kim Jong-ho.

The president's shift from President Shokil, usually only for 12 days and have committed a dictator to the more U.S. troops and 50,000 North Korean troops.

In past years, the sessions have featured some computer simulations

carried out in a large bunker south of the capital. Seoul, intended to check the effect readiness to repel a North Korean attack.

While both countries have insisted that the exercises were defensive, a nature, Kim has long called them provocative. North Korea's Foreign Ministry has condemned the drills as “unfounded by an aggressive war.”

Trump seemed to agree with North Korea, saying in a post this week that the country under Kim had been “unforeshoring and respectful” while he has been provided.

U.S. troops have been through this before.

Trump abruptly canceled the exercise in 2016 during his first administration, without notifying from Defense Secretary Jim Harris.

At the time, Trump administration officials said they wanted to give negotiations meant to run in North Korea's nuclear industries as opportunity to succeed. Trump met with Kim three times for ultimately failed in the past.

A Pentagon official, who spoke on the conditions of anonymity to discuss operational matters, said the U.S. and South Korean militaries would continue

training on their own before the exercise ends Saturday, but that they would not train together as had been previously scheduled.

“Of course it hurts readiness,” said Victor Cha, the Korea قبل at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “And really now what we can do is see the Chinese or North Korea—as had that U.S. deterrence is not as strong, they might think there are opportunities there.”

Cha also disputed the notion that canceling the exercises would help Trump to get a nuclear deal with North Korea, pointing to the 2016 talks that ultimately collapsed in Miami. Vietnam, in 2019 now disagreement about relief from US economic sanctions and the scope of North Korea's nuclear distribution.

Core, Curtis Scaparroti, a retired top commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, said that calling back the day, “I really don't forgo” ability to have their combat skills.

“If develop a competence and confidence by training just as you would fight an adversary as a route,” Scaparroti said in an email. “The use of five rounds and rigorous training standards in training is the most realistic tool of unit readiness.”

US ramps up sanctions on Cuba, detentions of returning visitors

By Matthew Lee A COCOAT EXPRESS

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's administration is increasing pressure on Cuba by improving more economic penalties on industries in the heavily mentioned variable country and breaking enforcement of laws that bar American rule that the people from dealing with government owned or affiliated businesses.

The Treasury and State Department has announced Thursday that they are leveling new penalties against nine state-owned mining, metal and construction companies using both the leadership of the Cuban Institute of Knowledge with the Peoples, or ICAP.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the institute is responsible for preparing its test subways for testing in the United States areas at Identifying, cultivating, and calculating Americans.

Trump's Republic's administration has steadily ratified up pressure on Mexico, threatening it with potential military interests, loss even when stored in a conflict against Iran, while also boasting economic sanctions designed to cut off funding for the Cuban government.

The latest sanctions follow an operation at the Miami Airport last week, and in which several American citizens returning to the U.S. from Cuba after participating in events marking Castro's birthday were briefly detained, according to U.S. officials. Some of them had their cellphones and other personal/technical services wanted for inspection, the officials said.

U.S. authorities had been prepared to dertain dozens of returning activists for secondary screening, but the fewer were found to meet the criteria for the enhanced questioning by Customs and Border Postcolonzants, the officials said.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anentering because details of the operation have not been made public, said those detained were eventually released and delivered until the U.S.

The officials said anyone believed and released could still face prosecution if it found they wanted U.S. sanctions, which prohibit all transactions with Cuban government owned entities, including restaurants, hotels and shops. The entire national cellphone, laptop and tablets, however, was unclear.

The new sanctions that were imposed on the lead-

ership of ICAP, target the group president Fernando González Llorí, who had been among the Cuban intelligence officers arrested in the U.S. in 1969 but later released in 2016. They also target the first two president, Nivette Ramírez Robozio Fernández, and its North America director, Leona Martínez-Peña.

The words, arising and related to the U.S. and the sanctions target aided production, are unspent, but from that specialist in the import of heavy industrial products, a mineral resources company, the Cuban Ministry of Construction, a company that provides Cuban workers to foreign entities on the way and who are competent that import vehicles, authorities party and construction materials.

The Trump administration also has stepped up a campaign that party members have been forced to do so. They threat to the U.S. in a report released last month, the State Department accused the Cuban government of getting out of the war, supporting left-wing and anti-American activists in the United States for the past six decades.

We believe the law faces falling deeper into crisis for around five years, the oil blockade by the Trump administration has thrown the nation into free fall.

Dog cat adoptions on hold in Texas

Screwworm fears put thousands of animals at risk of euthanasia.

By John Hanna ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adoptions are on hold for thousands of dogs and cats in Texas, potentially putting the animals at risk of being euthanized, because of efforts to stop the spread of the New World screwworm, account that has created the border from Mexico into the United States for the first time in 60 years.

The flesh-cutting parasite threatens the nation's EU billionaire's misery, prompting federal officials to close their border to cattle movements. Because the screwworm also can infect pets, some states have restricted the movement of animals from infected areas of Texas, leading to crowded condolences into theirs that rely on adoptions to other regions of the country.

It's thrown a wrench into things, for small rescues as well as the larger shelters," said Mia Bendixson, executive director of the Texas Humane Legislation Network, which promotes animal welfare laws.

The screwworm can be egg-shells in the flesh-cutting larvae in wounds or mucosa on any manned, and of the disease of infections in southern Texas and southeastern New Mexico, several have been in dogs. Forty-four states have restricted the movements of pets from infected areas, creating a hardship for shelter from Texas that typically send thousands of animals to other states such as

In Corpus Christi, the Gulf Coast Humane Society couldn't get rescued dogs into New York state for weeks, making the shelter's animal population to climb from around 1234 to only 6 400.

The shelter, which sends about 100 dogs to new animals, Texas, is even more space to outdate exercise areas until

New York again allowed dogs from Texas — 5 a-veerdays can first certified that such one wasn't infected with the screwworm.

The safest that if her shelter doesn't have space to take animals from man's legislature, "than they have to euthanize more animals."

Moving dogs and cats from Texas to other states has become crucial to using stray and abandoned animals. In 2025, Texas had more unadopted dogs transferred out of its shelters than any other state — nearly 80,000 according to the American Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals. Texas also euthanized about 45,000 dogs — more dogs than any other state, according to the data. And Texas led in the number of cats transferred out of its shelters — nearly 10,000 — and was second to California in those euthanized, with almost 29,000.

Texas has more stray dogs and cats than any state other than California — 439,000 in 2025 — largely because of its population and size. Warm weather, and down stray animals to survive longer and breed more, and veterinarians and animal welfare advocates. They added that Texas persevere seems low willing to pay or master their dogs. "There are people with working much and time dogs, both male and female, who feel like the animal will lose some of its drives," said veterinarians and Public executive director of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. Information, Humane Society director Director Aaron Gould and an inability to send animals out of state has left them more stressed. "If an adaptor comes through and they're going from instead to instead and they see one dog who may be sitting calmly and content

only in one breed and then in the next branch there's one dog who's financing off of the with and helping the same or how stressed they are, first one may be looking into theirs."

The Houston shelter has worked to keep its animal population — mostly cats and dogs — at 2019 to support the state's state of human beings to 500 more and by helping get overseas keep their animals even a little larger. Restrictions on animal transport followed efforts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to keep the New World screwworm by from crossing the border to the Mexico.

These efforts include construction of a 270 million fly factory in northern Texas for breeding billions of men, de-under-let to open in April 2027. The U.S. has always eradicated the 1st by the early 1970s by breeding ste-

dequins and releasing them from plants to state with females, who laid dogs that wouldn't heed.

Smaller facilities in Texas and southern Mexico have been provided with this bred in Panama, and another upheaval for Arizona.

A week after the first reported one in Texas, the year, Florida — where the screwworm fly can thrive — banned imports of rescued dogs and cats from there and New Mexico, these states required veterinarians to import animals and feed them free of the parasite. Many shortened the period that a month, nine-year-old from the typical 30 days to an 1928 as time a day.

State restrictions hit an animal welfare system that's long-loss short of the second and other resources, said Delaware Weldon, director of the Animal Law and Policy Institute at the Vermont Law

and Graduate School. "The said shelters send more money and space, but communities also should require animals to be spread or manned — and have them also to get more human services if people cannot afford them.

"If we could provide them just with some basic support, they might be able to keep their animals in their homes, and that's one less animal in a shelter, one less animal being killed," she said.

COVID-19 stressed the system, too, as part because pandemic restrictions put prøying and sourcing on hold. Cost-of-brag increases are another reason people turn animals over to shelters.

"A lot of those are just eating," Iant can't, Iant can't do it anymore," said Brendan Kiville, animal control supervisor in Greenville, Texas, a fast-growing city northeast of Dallas.

Canada US recourse talks over tariffs as new deadline looms

By Ian Austen and Ann Swanson Ted letter (QMA TIMES)

Canadian officials headed back to Washington on Thursday for another round of talks, in an effort to avert damaging new tariffs and to take off the other and preserve Canada's biggest trade-information.

Dominic LeBlanc, the Canadian minister in charge of U.S. trade, and Junice Chavros, the chief trade negotiator, met with Jamieson Grout, the US trade representative, shortly after the election of offices, LeBlanc's office said.

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada and his officials must now decide whether to accept proposed American trade-information as proposed lower tariffs, as risk the United States imposing 10% tariffs on tens of millions of dollars in Canada as a result.

On Sunday night, President Donald Trump suspended the new tariffs and announced the two countries had reached a date on the next two weeks, details and paperwork be worked out.

But if Canada does not finalize the past by early Saturday, new tariffs on 220

billion worth of Canadian exports will take effect.

People in the United States and Canada familiar with the negotiations said talks are still underway and go well before being up lower risks.

The striking point comes on the three key Canadian initiatives that Trump hit with tariffs of up to 50% last year, steel, aluminum and lumber.

In the talks, the U.S. has discussed reducing tariffs on some Canadian road and aluminum exports to 20% from 20%, three people familiar with the plain said. That would still be about twice the rate Canada's writing.

Canadian steel exports would also face a particular which only a certain volume would qualify for the proposed lower tariffs another person familiar with the talks said. Researchers, the Trump administration charge should be to the proposal from U.S. work mills, which have argued that the charge would undercut their production.

For the same series, a tariff for Trumpாடates, it does not could be lowered to 10% from 20%, with a discount for the value of American parts. More other industry executives said.

One person briefed on the talks said Canada is pushing back against the proposal on same. He said it appears that the United States picked 10% to match the tariff Trump imposed on Japanese and Korean autos. Because the U.S. side has been unyielding on the rate, the person said Canada is proposing to effectively lower the tariff by giving credit for Canadian parts as well as American ones.

Trump's auto tariffs have shattered free trade in the sector, which dates to 1995 and has made the industry highly integrated across the border. Trump has described Canadian North states in products that the United States should not import.

Reputations have also been discussing important rules governing the North American auto industry under the United States Mexico—Canada Agreement. The Trump administration has proposed raising the requirement for how much of a car's content must come from North America to 92% from the 10%, as well as roughly 50% of a car's materials to come from the United States.

Canada and Mexico have both opposed the idea of a U.S. specific content requirement.

Bessent's moves to soothe bond market remain work in progress

WASHINGTON Internet rates of demanded Thursday down 1.6 flints by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's eyes did enlargement in borrowing costs, a sign which was an uneasy woman was about being sent to government debt, heavy borrowing by tech firms and the Federal Reserve's commission to fighting inflation.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, a key hand-in-aid for mortgage rates, rose back to 4.0%. Thursday: That alone for whose record only Wednesday before Bessent surprised financial market by announcing that Treasury would double the size of bond feedback program starting next month to $4 billion per open time from $2.5 billion. The feedback as intended to reduce the supply of 10-year to 10-year bonds and boost their price by 5 billion in the 1980s will be a price even.

Bessent said Thursday on CERC that the bond repurchase program could be larger than $4 billion.

"We have a big toolkit on we'll be," Bessent said. "We believe that the yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals."

Many non-binding banks, borrowing costs for consumer and businesses, and the Trump administration has served a long interest rate as a top spot. Money purchases have dropped as mortgage rates show several higher this year.

President Donald Trump has often demanded that the Federal Reserve lower rates, but the ongoing tax rates are driven primarily by financial markets. The 10-year bond yield rose to 5.22% Thursday, down early slightly from 1.0% year high to second Tuesday.

ment's budget deficit, power by Monday 50, argued that the deficit will push the rate, as part because it has been driven higher by tariff refunds, a temporary factor.

While the deficit has been huge for years, overall debt lagged 440 million Wednesday, a staggering record that a rise of pay would offer the national debt first blew part 2019 off into its April. And the Congressional Budget Office estimated this week that the annual pay increase governs most revenue and spending would top $2 million this year.

But Gannually Goldberg, head of US rates strategy at TD Securities, said reducing the deficit is mostly up to Congress, rather than the Treasury Department. "What we are seeing in the market is still a little bit hopeful that Treasury has and will be able to backstep some of these moves," Goldberg said.

Another factor pushing with higher is how much debt to the companies are rising to hold. At data centers, their design of bond offerings is going bond investors move to boost them, which lowers prices for bonds and pushes up they yields.

Yet new Fed Coal Kevin Wards hasn't appealed whether the Fed will take such a step. At his most recent news conference in late July, he served a common shoot whether he sees higher rates as the right approach.

He also suggested the Fed could issue both the gangs it uses to monitor inflation, which is serdu to keep at 2%. Inflation has topped that level for more than five years, and was 17% in June, according to the Fed's preferred measure.

Yet Wards has underscored the doesn't want to provide such gigantic results he wants financial markets to set interest rates based on economic conditions, not on what it expects. But Fed to do, Bessent's more than appears to be at cross-purpose with that good, since markets are now considering what next step Treasury might take to continue.

Complaint alleges strong-arm tactics

Whistleblower cites lack of evidence in DKI college probes

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Trump administration task force created to combat antisemitism pushed for settlements with Ivy League universities despite government investigation that were rushed and incomplete – that failed to establish legal violations by the schools, a former Justice Department lawyer alleged in a whistleblower the house obtained by The Associated Press.

The complaint alleges that the investigations into some of the nation's most prestigious academic institutions were designed to strong-arm the schools into cutting deals for political purposes. Outcomes were "predetermined, without regard to the evidence" in a "politically mandated officer" in critical money from schools through settlement demands and funding foresee under the present of existing oral antisemitism, the complaint alleges.

The work of the media agency task force, launched by the Justice Department in 2019, was conducted by the Pan-Broditis February 2020, was "marked by extraordinary procedural irregularities, product-mixed outages, and the use of "reproving legal support" and disregard for the law and Constitution, lawyers for the former government attorney wrote in working with drug investigations into their client's complaints.

The complaint says into a broader public discussion about the administration's efforts to unload allegations of antisemitism at colleges, a problem that received repeated attempts during campus protests over heavily over indoor licenses, books, materials and trade materials unsafe.

Trump returned to the White House with a goal of rooting out antisemitism that he said had gone unchecked during the Biden administration, but critics have called the power to make a reopened state, handed and said it infringed on free speech rights and coerced concessions from public institutions.

Lawyers for the New Justice Department attorney identified as those "are fined" filed the disclosure with the inspectors general at the department of Justice and Health and Human Services, as well as with the Office of Special Counsel.

Van Eerm spent nearly a decade working with the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division before being involuntarily assigned to HHS to work on the Title VI investigation into the universities, the complaint says.

The health department assignees were initially told

to scrutinize allegations of antisemitism at medical school commonsument ceremonies – the lawyers were advised of a New York first story describing antisemitism conduct or pronouns, events, the complaint says – but the inquiries were later expanded by focus on the entire schools in the cause of Columbia and Brown, Van Eerm's account state.

Van Eerm left the Justice Department in May 2019 because she was "unwilling to be made vulnerable to further participation in politically motivated investigations unsupported by facts and contrary to law," says the complaint, which also says "officials targeted some Middle East Studies faculty for the context of their work and other producers for their Muslim faith."

Kerstens, Pele, a DKI spokesperson, said the department "stands behind

the integrity" of its investigative, A spokesperson for the Health and Human Services Department did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment Tuesday.

Key Jones, Ruden, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote separately to Harcourt Shilton, who as the assistant attorney pointed in a charge of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division has been a public face of the department's efforts to counter antisemitism. In his letter, he said antisemitism at colleges and medical schools is a real problem that needs to be investigated. "But," he told Shilton, "your investigator into antisemitism was like a pro-baked frame-up operation, political nature."

The whistleblower complaint deals chiefly with investigations into three New League universities: Brown, Harvard and Columbia.

It alleges that in the case of Brown, the investigative team did not find evidence to support a violation of Title VI, the section of the Civil Rights Act that laws discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in programs that receive federal funding, but that "leadership refused to persist on most of the radiation and instead sought some form of settlement or results into despite actions designed the absence of a legal basis for doing so."

Investigators did find evidence of discrimination at Columbia, the complaint says, but the inquiry was rushed before "adequate factual development and high-reserve new completely and robustes allegations that "were unsupported, based on some reports or litigation filings, or that implicated protected from transnational actions."

Columbia University

agreed to pay the government $100 million as part of an agreement restoring access to federal funding, Brown University separately agreed to pay $10 million to Black Island workforce development organizations to end the three federal investigations involving allegations of antisemitism and racial bias in admissions, with no findings of wrongdoing.

A federal judge last year ordered the Trump administration to reverse its cuts of more than $1.6 billion in research funding for Harvard, saying the government "used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities."

And a different judge last week dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit that accused Harvard of turning a trade law to harassment of Jewish students.

US deportees begin to arrive in Liberia under new immigration deal

FROM NEWS SERVICES

DAKAK, Senegal: Twenty migrants deported from the United States arrived in Liberia on Thursday the first group of an estimated 2,800 deportees that the West African country's aim is will receive from the U.S. under a new deal.

Under a series of obsessive agreements, the Trump administration's deported thousands of people to two dozen countries that aren't their own, as it pushes ahead with its immigration crackdown, advocates say.

An estimated 11 of these agreements, nearly half the total, are with African countries and the Liberia-U.S. agreement involves one of the largest numbers of such three countries.

Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole to underrepresent a state surface order, as it is not to be seen. Authorities in Liberia have said the deportees home welcomed in their country can seek written there or leave if they choose.

Other African countries that have received or agreed to receive third-country deportees from the U.S. include South, Middle, Eurasia, Rwanda, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Congo, Uganda, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic.

Many of the African countries are subject to the deal or among the worst for by the Trump administration policies, including on trade, all and migration.

The Trump administration had spent at least $40 million to deport about 200 migrants to countries other than their own, according to a February report by the Democratic staff of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. More countries have entered the deal into this.

Early flights to Africa included people that the U.S. said had convictions for serious crimes. But later transfers have included certain services with U.S. court orders protecting them from being returned to their home countries because they could not persecution or torture.

Many say they've been sent to countries with which they have no ties and where they were not told about until hours into the deportation journey.

For instance, says Moroccan woman deported to Cameroon, where home, sexuality is illegal, and an Iranian woman who U.S. court protection from returning to Iran who was sent to the Central African Republic.

Immigration lawyers say: Alina Doral called that an effective legal "inspiring" suing departure can be left with "impossible choices" – remain in an unfamiliar country with HHS support or return to a country's U.S. judge found unsafe.

Some of the deportees have recounted being thankful while some were held a full-body restraintantship on called the WISAP during flights that can sometimes last more than 16 hours.

his açıdanlı greatest fireworks show happened on a Friday night in Mundelein. Fireworks, quarterbacks – the big show was a game between Montini and Carmel on Oct. 3, 2025, when Israel Abrams and Tsar Taylor combined to throw for 1,000 yards. Montini won 55-54, and the scoreboard somehow survived.

Both players were juniors at the time. Heading into the 2026 season, Taylor is the No. 1 quarterback in the country by Rivals core rankings, while Abrams is No. 3.

A Carmel-Montini rematch is set for Sept. 18 in Lombard, but Taylor decided to spend his senior year closer to his college home of Nebraska and transferred to Millard South in Omaha. Abrams, a Miami commit, will be trying to lead Montini to a third straight-time title.

"We brought back so many guys," Abrams said. "One of my goals this year, I'm trying to get my guys in positions too. I take that as a responsibility along with state championships."

That 2025 game, plus those rankings, illustrate what's been happening in high school football. Chicago is suddenly a cradle of quarterbacks, which never really happened before.

Hersey's Jule Nawrot (Kentucky) is the No. 5-ranked QB in the 2027 class, while Miami South's Jameson Parcell (Indiana) is No. 54, and New Trier's Jackie Ryder (Purdue) is No. 58.

Five Chicago quarterbacks in the top 100 is not unprecedented, but that was just last year. The 2026 class included Lincoln-Way East's Jonas Williams (UNC), Dvorace Givens North's Owen Larson (Minnesota), French's Johann O'Brien (Northwestern), Barrington's Luke Topos (Oklahoma State) and West Amherst Mason Allison (Hall State).

Williams was ranked No. 8 in his class, giving the area four top-10 QBs in two seasons. Over the previous 20 years, there were just three – J.J. McCarthy, Clayton Thorson and Juice Williams.

Some good, some bad for Williams and offense

By Sean Hammond and Brad Biggs CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CINCINNATI – The Chicago Bears traded blows with the Cincinnati Bengals during a joint practice Thursday ahead of their preseason game Saturday night. The Bears offensive line struggled to name Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II, the key offensean acquisition for coach Zac Taylor's defense. Bears coach Ben Johnson will have plenty to learn from Thursday's season.

In a lot of ways, NFL teams prefer joint practice to preseason games because it's a controlled environment. Taylor already announced the Bengals starters

Benintendi comes through in 7th to break up no-hitter

Ended up being team's only hit in loss to Braves in makeup game

By LaMond Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Andrew Benintendi made sure there wouldn't be history Thursday, breaking up a no-hitter in the seventh airing with a single to left field against Atlanta Braves starter Grant Holmes.

That turned out to be the team's only hit in a 2-0 loss to the Braves in front of CONC at Rate Field.

"Everyone that we saw obviously was really good, starting with Holmes," Sox manager Will Vondale said. "Thought he did a really nice job controlling the zone, pitched in parts of the zone that were just tough for us. Not a lot of pitches over the plate. I thought we did have some good swings early, hit some balls hard.

Holmes and three roiterers combined for the one-hitter. The right-hander struck out three and walked three in six plan innings.

"The slider was good," Sox catcher Drew Rome said of facing Holmes. "He's got a good slider and he was throwing it over and it was giving us trouble."

Giants is a game the three-time Pro Bowl collection — the Cleveland defensive line looked like a different group from cover age.

The Bears offensive line struggled quite a bit to get much of a push with no reasons. The running game was a bit of a struggle and quarterback Caleb Williams was under some pressure.

It was the 6-foot-5, 350-poundขายover who made arguably the play of the day.

In a more-tha-half period with the Bears starting off time against the Bengals' startling defensive line, Bears got his hands in front of a Williams pass and turned it into the air to himself for an interception.

"He's an All-Pro-gun" Williams said. "He's one of the best, if not the best, 10-tackles with Chris Jones and all of them up there."

"He's a love to be reckoned with, and that's something that you go into games weak, you get for him, and you don't choose against him and doing things that aren't necessarily to him down. Maybe he's a body type, his style of play, the scheme and where they have him. Obviously with a being practice, you're not necessarily a throating player."

That might be true, but Lawrence certainly looked like a hero. He gave the Bears interest of Joe Thuney, Garrett Bradbury and Jonah Jackson to all the all day.

IT WASN'T ALL BAD FOR CALEB WILLIAMS AND THE OFFENSE.

Williams was on fire to start practice during a 5-3m' real some period. He threw three consecutive touchdown passes to Scotty Miller, Colleen Loveland and Steve Oshater and should've had another on a ball Oshaten dropped.

It was more of a struggle for the Bears offense since the daily position players met up with the last-men and they ran half-team work. Still, the offense had its moments.

On the second play of a full-team session, Oshater broke a tackle against a young ball for Turner III and would've had a clear fan to the end some along the sideline. A few playclass, Williams consented with Kidd Raymond for about a 20-year gap.

Williams threw his best pass of the day in a red some season, a touchdown to Loveland from 11 yards out. It was a right window with safety. Rodan Kettle in close coverage, but Williams threw the half-pounding to Loveland shoulder, where only he could catch it.

"I am they senior down into one high," Williams said, "and then just knowing it's Colleen — that's my gun — playing the ball. And I definitely's back was turned to me. He turned around just as the end, and the ball suddenly going over the top. Colleen ran a great route and made a great cut."

The Bears offense played on best in the red zone. Williams also completed a touchdown pass to Raymond that was wide open, and he bunnled with Dan O'Neil, allowing Davis to beat Bengals corner 213 feet to the goal line for a 40-mg touchdown.

WILLIAM? NOT HAND IN THE RED ZONE HOW? CLERKY OVER TO THE FINAL TEAM FOCUS.

He was interrupted twice, the first when Lawrence got his arms up and deflected a pass at the line of scrimmage to himself.

It wasn't only Lawrence creating a routine in the middle of the line for the final series, with the Bears began to see their 5-foot line, I looked like left tackle Thien Renne, left and right tackle Darnell Wright were beaten on the play. Officially withheld the play deal, and defies also and Myles Murphy had a soul for an 8-1m' hole.

The play had been an defensive tackle Jonathan Allen looked like they were starting a twist on the next step, but then Murphy fired off the edge just Renaud for what off the line of a win.

The ball was placed at the 5-yard 5-foot field amount 0.6 to 0.6 over, and Williams was flushed out of the pocket to his right with pressure and a 2-1m' hole. The first 4th again, A kitchhow over the middle was tipped off the line of scrimmage and unstopped downfield 6-3m' hole connected with John Davis.

Murphy in a real game when the quarterback isn't protected? Maybe. But the Bears don't want him scrambling that much.

"First move was a long arm," Murphy said. "Second one was like a long arm, kind of like a game with me and Jon, and the third one just create a pressure in the pocket and the ball come out. Pick."

Davis said he was reading Williams' eyes as the quarterback did in the pocket, and he was in the right spot for a ball that went high over tight end Colleen Loveland.

"Thank boys on the line, they were up there using," Davis said. Offensive coordinator Peter Taylor said the Bears wanted to evaluate linemen in one-on-one situations that they often would get holy with during games. It will be interesting to see how coaches scare the final series. Did Renaud fail to meet the occasion, or were there other circumstances such as the safety, where it was a twist from the start?

"The thing that is tough about practice is you, don't really see Caleb's best attributes," said Allen, a 10-year veteran. "Getting to him is one thing. Getting him down is another. We're excited. You want to get to him with a group, and we did that."

"I'm sure they're not overthinking it. It's practice. He made some gear plays, but again, Caleb's best ability is exequile life. You can't really test that in practice. He's the best in the league for that."

BEN JOHNSON CALLED JAYMART (DON'T SAY THE HIGGINS THE BEST TOO EVER SOLD IN THE NFL, AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE TROUBLE FINDING PLENTY OF POLES WHO AGREE.

Johnson's mix-and-match secondary had a good day overall against Dave, Higgins and quarterback Joe Burrow, and he had to be one of the on-going points for the coaching staff. The Bears didn't shut down Chavez and Higgins had to be secondary was competitive and there weren't any plays where the Bengals received real the half off to defense.

Bookie safety Dillon Thieneman picked off a pass deep down

the middle that went off the hands of tight end Mike Gensick. In the initial team period, the Bears had a pair of covering sacks with Burrow pulling the ball down and trying to leave the pocket before the whistle was blown.

Carmarback Tyrique Stevenson returned after missing a week of practice. He got a few reps at the start — experiencing the challenge of covering the 4-4 Higgins on a back shoulder hole along the sideline. Stevenson was in the position, but Burrow's pass was complete for 17 yards. Then we were one of the last snaps Stevenson got in team drills, and it did well, but he getting more work next week.

After Stevenson, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen rotated Josh Blackwell and Denton Manning on the outside with the starters, Cain Lewis and Xavier Woods right time out to Thieneman at safety.

Linebacker Devin Authie has a Burrow throw to wide receiver Aydon Jostava in the real zone during a real-zone drill. Later, Burrow hooked up with Higgins, in the right corner for a touchdown against JoAnn Johnson. But Johnson had a solid practice and was competitive in man coverage. That's what the Bears are coming on him to be the guy who can lock horse with an opponent's foot every week.

Bookie Malik Muhammad II got the real majority of his reps in the slot, and at this point he has to be the fewest to be the Week I starter. He got a good lesson on our play. The Bears were in man coverage and Muhammad followed Jostava in motion across the formation. Burrow threw quickly to Jostava in the flat after the stop, and Muhammad was a little out of control. The allowed Jostava to play back inside for an easy 13-yard gain on second and 5.

The Bengals passing game concerns Brownies, and the Bears won't see explosive plays all over the place when they put on the pace to a raps. The defenses line moved Burrow off the spectators the day before, and the defensive back went competitive. Allen and second pro coach Al Harris will find plenty to correct further how to feel like the group showed well.

Missing safety Caby Bryant formed at all of the season is a big loss, but if JoAnn Johnson can return to top form, that would give the defense an element it really didn't have at any point last season.

"The guy has good feet," Higgins said when asked for a scouring report on Johnson. "He's strong. He's a guy that challenges you."

WHAT WAS BEN JOHNSON MUST WE FIND YOU IN SERIES? The looking at special teams today! he said shortly before things get going on, the two practice fields tacked between Parvez Bradbury and have interต่อ to everyone.

In a team of surprise that Johnson stood in the middle of the field next to Taylor during kickoff drills. The Bears had one of their worst games on speed to turn in the last decade — heck, two decades — when they visited Cincinnati for a move, making a certain standard in the 47-42 Week 9 victory.

The Bengals returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and recovered an oasis kick at the end. In between, Cain James had a field goal blocked, a 12-yard return by Steve Shoresen was wiped out for a penalty and the Bengals had some big returns.

"This was a unit that, when we went against them a year ago, we did not perform very well," Johnson said. "We talked about it in the team meeting earlier this week. We had an option it with whom we were within the season. It was a wide-up call and we got his right in the tooth. I thought we played better for you and all of the season on special teams."

Jones had a good day Thursday, going a low-too field point, and I looked like a smooth operation for each drills in the long stupper Box. Gardner Jutucsky's game will be important for Gardner.

Jones was a very successful back failure. Almost with the first unit on both kickoff coverage and return, Ha doesn't have a lot of special teams experience in his team. He said, and if he's going to push Roaches Johnson for a spot, he'll need to unlink the coaches that he can be dependable. Maurice Alexander broke off a nice kickoff return as Daniel Hardy created a

hole with a nice block.

Johnson could have been monitoring the quarterbacks during drills. Jutucsky felt that he was not an up-close look at a phase that will help shape a few choices at the bottom of the round.

ONE-ON-ONE NIGHT DRILLS ARE TRICKY TO EVALUATE, BUT WHOLE GALLIMORE POPPED AND DAYS ONE YOUNG SHORED UP.

The drills certainly favor the defense, and of like, I can't go easily are slanted heavily toward the offense. But Gideon's was so quick out of his stance on one step, he was just leading center Jacob Reyer ahead and was on the other side.

It was good to see Odyrioglou have a couple of nice replies. He turned power into speed in a top against right tackle Amatzaa Mino and the other two of the last strong raids against more Andrew Coker.

A few other moves must just — Geron Detter lit's strong hands helped him over double, left guard with a backside.

A Austin Booker got Mino off bottom, creating some hands here for him to win.

Jeremiah Martin denied tackle Christian Jones with a spin more to win right away.

The 6-foot-5,000 on one rodding opportunities are also harder to come by in a game. The Bears hope their fundamental change to a sharp point at one end could help position he more aggressive with help plans win more regularly than season and be more disruptive.

ZAVON THOMAS, WHO HAD BEEN FEELINGS MADE SEVERAL PLAPS.

The whole wide receiver has been back at practice after missing about a week with a knee injury. He made several catches Thursday, including one with Williams and the starters.

During a full-team session, Williams scrambled to his right, pointing for his receivers to find open space. Thomas was about 20 or 21 yards past the line of scrimmage and came back toward the football. Williams saw the rodding and threw a pass near the sideline that Thomas caught for a fast down.

Thomas had a good day. The off reps with the starters and his injury didn't help. That was his first end. It from Williams in a while, but the third round did all well every week apart of the play this year.

Later, in the red zone period, quarterback Cain Kerrison hit a play develop and failed a pass toward the right side of the real zone. Initially it looked as if no one would be there to catch it, but then Thomas took a low of two to coverage and made a nice contested catch for a touchdown.

Thomas took a low of two to watch Saturday if he plays. He missed last week's possession opener because of the injury.

TYSON BASKIN? IS 'WEEK TO WEEK', AND CALD KIRMAN CRUCE NEW LINE TO START SATURDAY.

Baskin's quarterback, Bageet (hanning) and running back Kirk Manning might have didn't travel back the next season, but didn't have considered "week to week," according to Johnson.

Bageet started last week's 56-10 win over the Cleveland Reverse and completed 13 of 22 passes for 169 yards with one touchdown and one inter-reption, but he also sustained the injury and hurt practice choice.

Baskin would be coaching staff would determine who's playing Saturday after reviewing Thursday practice. The focus in practice was on the stumpers, not outside the stumpers of Williams' bar the day off.

That could mean 18-year-old John Davis was a good day start against the Bengals. The Bears did have undefinite make quarterback Miller Mino on the roster.

Last week the Baskins played the first game in the next for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 9 of 10 passing, while Mino played the fourth, completing 3 of 6 passes for 40 yards.

Mino's report all of the season as the Bears' third quarterback behind Williams and Bageet. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021 with the Houston Tecum.

CHICAGO BASEBALL REPORT

Antonacci sparks Sox; Cubs prospect embraces change

By LeMord Pope and Meghan Montamuro CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A familiar face returns to Rats Field on Friday when the White Sox face center fielder Luis Robert Jr. and the New York Mets.

Robert played six seasons for the Sox (2026) 25; coming till that hours to 2025. The Sox dealt how to the Mets for infielder/justifielder Loisough Accila and minor-league pitcher Truman Pauley in the offseason.

The Cubs averaged up a 10.6 homestead, including a series win over the White Sox in the City Series, before Thursday's off day. They embark on their fuel bag trip of the season to Seattle and Phoenix and will roll with three lefties — Matthew Reed, David Peterson and Shots Insanaga — against the Mariners this weekend.

IT STARTS AT THE TOP

Left fielder Sam Antonacci began Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers getting hit by cypick. He later scored on a Braden Montgomery two out of eight.

The next day, Antonacci led all with a double. He scored again on a Montgomery two out for

'Just trying to, like I've always said, just get on base for the past behind me.' Antonacci told the Tribune before Wednesday's game against the Cubs. 'Don't be sure you never know, the time that they can know the past is pretty much in the end of your life.'

'So just bring us how he that and not trying to do too much and just be who I am.'

He asked the team defensively Wednesday with a sensational leaping catch over the wall in the seventh inning of the 3-0 season.

Antonacci also continues to be a spark at the top of the Sox lineup. The swale has a 2nd/3rd/4/5/6 deadline with night/some rain and 3rd hit in 1st quarter.

'Just still taking it all in and doing everything, I can solve a better plane; be a better teammate,' said Antonacci. 'Who is from Springfield, who is from the West Coast, and day trying to find different ways so much as I can to just better myself.'

He has been hit by a pitch 21 times, matching the franchise side of the 2-0 season.

'It's why he's a psychopath, it's what makes him go,' Sox hitting coach Derek Munson said Sunday. 'It's part of the finding the way I know that the game is just what. How do we reach a pillow as many times as we can't find that's a way that (Antonacci) can and will do it.'

EMERGICING CHANGE

Cubs Townsend had a rare season in the middle of his Cubs pinstriped proxy.

The 2026 first-round pick were No. 6 (a. he took in Wrigley Field on Wednesday morning with a special inning of the White Sox).

'A lot of people said, 'Man, you're just on foot right-hander, and when I'm on the mound, I think I'm 6-5.' Townsend said Wednesday. 'No, I'm not. I like it. It's better than you in every way and I don't can lose small jobs.'

Wednesday wasn't Townsend's first time at the ballpark. He said that he saw games during the 2016 16 season.

'It's more in January. I don't think there's another organization like it. Townsend said, 'And I told my player, the day before the 2016, I said, 'Get me here, no matter what. This is where I want to be.' And my really see that now, and it's really cool to see the process of 'How does every guy work together?' And it's

really a family, and I really appreciate that.'

In the weeks since Townsend signed with the Cubs, the right-hander has embraced the adjustments the organization envisioned implementing with the 21-year-old When Townsend first arrived at the Cubs complex in Mets, Ariz., after signing in mid July, he sat down with the development side of the organization to go over goals, what they wanted to accomplish and how to attack it. The first task, which initially was Townsend's idea (sevening his own do).

The hope is that will keep Townsend throwing harder, keep him healthier and allow him to throw more innings. The break is a notable difference, going from around 60-62 degrees this past season at the University of Mississippi to between 58-58 degrees now. He already is seeing an increase in velocity. He missed out at 91 mph during his ballpoint at the Mets and averaged more than 90 mph in his starts. Right now Townsend is currently touching 93-94 mph, dozing his pace in Arizona, which he believes will translate to more velocity in game action.

Townsend could tell over the course of his season with the Mets that his arm did kept getting higher. 'I kind of knew it, you just can

feel it when you get to a certain point of, hey, this feels better in catch play, like, it's going to get better on the mound.' Townsend said, 'feel they, I told them, and they're like, yeah, that's what we're going to do that's exactly right. Like all the data matches up with what you're doing.'

'The good thing about me is: have an insane ability to just feel my body, I think that's what makes me great is I can make a change in one throw, so I can just feel it and see her, this felt good, this didn't feel good. And then all course you have value data on the analytics to see is what I'm feeling correct.'

NUMBER OF THE WEEK: 8.3

With roughly five weeks left in the regular season, Pete Crow Anne strong fun the eighth-best PNAB at 21 in Cubs history. Only four Cubs hitters have eclipsed at least 9/2 PNAB. Rogers Boondie (32, 1929), Sainney Isaac (9, 1945), Ernie Davis (9, 1959) and Ron Santo (9, 1967).

They will soon include a 40-man career review and clear a bully on spot when they achieve Palma in from the major side. Left hander Justin Steele (these second is on the verge of losing history for the first time since his setback in April.

• Thursday Jake Rogers was in the Tigers lineup July 25. He tested for the Red Bulls (Canada on July 3) and hit for the Boston Red Sox in Aug 6. He was behind the plate and in the No. 9 dot for the White Sox on Saturday. It's been a lot of thing around and a lot of old-age paints for me! Rogers said jokingly Saturday in Detroit. The Sox claimed the catch off waters Aug. 18. He became the first player to major league history to play for the four teams in the span of 11 games. It's been a year few weeks here, here a whole head to say the least," Rogers said. With his single is Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Rogers became the second player at major-league history with a hit for four teams in the same season. The priority has been connecting with the pitching staff as quickly as possible. It's a little bit like you get thrown in the No. 4 little hit, but it's part of it. Rogers told the Tribune before Wednesday's game. 'You've kind of done the same thing you' whom life, so you've a little used to it. But you want to be a comfortable with everybody and I think just talking with guys and learning them as soon as possible and really getting out there, can long their ballpoint, losing to game, I think it is the best time to learn them. 'Obviously you'd rather catch them before you get out here. But sometimes it doesn't work like that. So just talking with the pitching staff and talking with those guys, trying to learn them as quick as possible is the only way. You can work a little bit of video, but at the end of the day the best course is just catching them a little bit, whether that's in the ballpoint or in the game.'

some years there," Venable said. It nearly became a day for the record-break.

'How the day was going, I felt like I could throw it anywhere and they were going to hit it to somebody.' Holmes told reporters covering the Braves. 'I was just keeping that mindset, trying to fill up the zone as quick as possible, got the onto as quick as possible.'

'Just keep the team in the game.' Holmes retired the first five box batters before Cuban Montgomery reached on a one-out walk in the second inning. The Sox didn't have another low coaster until the sixth, when Rome walked with one out.

There were a pair of hard-fat balls that were caught — Miguel Vargas freed out to third in the fourth inning, and Braden Montgomery fired out to first in the fifth. But neither was close to losing a lot.

The Sox in July 2 can be severely when Vargas walked leading off the inning. Retained on 2nd level with the team's goal of a table.

'That was it for Holmes, who threw 94 pitches in the outing.

hamming,' Venable said. 'And he just did a good job with everything, really. It was just one of those games where you've got to find a way, and we just couldn't.'

Reberer Didier Puentes entered

for the Braves with runners on first and second and no outs. He struck out Braden Montgomery, Cuban Montgomery and Chase McGrath. That was the best offensive opportunity of the game for the

Sox, who were shut out for the ninth time this season. The first place Sox (56-62) held a 51-game lead in the American League Central over the second place. Minnesota Twins (63-65), who were off Thursday.

Anthony Kay pitched well in the loss, shoving two runs on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk in six drawstings.

'It is the best to do to pretty good game plan against these guys,' Kay said. 'She and those executed pretty well. I was in the zone a lot, got good pitcher's counts and that led to some good results.'

Venable said Kay's sweeper, in particular, was effective.

'We worked on it a little bit, just the way I was reforming, it my last outing was a little bit not sure I've focus in between turns to figure that back out and get fresh in the zone.' Kay said. 'I think the results show we were pretty good with it.'

Austin Riley (three in both Braves runs 16) had an 800 double against Ray in the third and an 800 single against reliever Hausset Brocklin in the seventh, driving to Michael Harris II, who had reached on a double against Ray.

The Braves were 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position but produced just enough effort only to top the Sox.

'These guys are a really good team,' Kay said. 'I think you have to be on top of year. A game against everyone in this league. Especially a team like them, they are really good. I think we were really 31 just didn't work out.'

THE NATIONAL

Nazar or Frondell? The case for each to center top line without Bedard

By Kalan Lampskins

ONE AND TWENTH

As opening night on Sept. 29 gets closer, the Chicago Blackhawks will are embracing the Royal of Patriot's Karan system. The South Hall of Famer and three-time Stanley Cup champion, signed a two-year, 60-million contract to come back to the team that the 40-million No. 1 in 1997.

The next year arrives as an undercurrent smokescreen for Connor Bedard's injury. He makes even left shoulder surgery in July and has a four-month recovery timeline.

The family remains confident in their young skaters, especially the current behind Bedard. But who will man the top line until he returns? It will be a large response. He is a 50-million in 1997, and we weigh likely will fall on the decade since double Frank Nazar or Anton Frondell. Here's the case for each to center the top line.

THE CASE FOR WALSH

The 25-year-old has become a disfavorite through two seasons with the Hawks. Even will be an Kane in his return, but the love between Nazar and the United Center faith-hit remains.

The Nazar-Kane chemistry is kind of early, as Kane was one of the top 50 years to play with him after his signing.

The 25-year-oldating with Dharan a lot and trying to develop some chemistry with him? Kane said of his introduction to two conference "I'dn't have to be back of my mind, like man in the 25-daying with the gin, so maybe two-70 to be developed some chemistry."

"He's another great player, too, my surprised with him — he went, ethic, his speed and skill. There's going to be a lot of those guys that didn't look hard to me, and they'd be good to have the opportunity to play with a lot of them."

Nazar's work stirs was praised in 2025. In 16-year-old of the Hawks' fastest chance and back away highs in points (43), takeaways (27) and blocked them (43).

He also had a career-high 18 shots on goal, yet only 15 of them found the back of the set. He didn't let the kick of goals hinder his diet, but the results left much to be desired.

Nazar studied through a 21-game professional between Oct. 30 and Dec. 30. He kept being the pack for though something has on back his teammates can learn.

Nazar (32.9 MB, games) has the experience edge over Frondell (12). He's six-year-old who's not a lot of success for the year of his career year, 84.6 million contract.

The games without Bedard could accelerate his path toward the NHK's low.

THE CASE FOR FRIENDELL

second Hawks start. He'll instead share space with players a decade or more younger than him.

Included in that group is Frondell, 16, whom Kane also mentioned at his senior conference.

"There's going to be important for me early on is to develop those relationships with the young guys," Kane, 37, said. "Frondell's closer to my voice up Charles Grouse, so it's going to be a little bit different. But at the same time I think it's great."

Frondell didn't take long to impress after his March 24 debut in New York. He had five points in his first five NHK games, including his first career goal March 10 against the Winnipeg Ten. In his 12 games he totaled nine points (three goals on, mainly, over 16–20) on a goal and blocked them.

He was eighteen in the Swedish Hockey League, a man that mislaid over to the Hawks. Frondell had 24 points in 43 games, including 20 goals — the first 10-year-old to hit the track since 1996. He

Frondell plays in an aggressive manner to create goal opportunity. Having Kane on his right and Tyler Bertozzi on the left could be Frondell's best chance at adding to his star share.

She does become the top center without Bedard. It would add time of pressure for Frondell. He spent most of his last season in Sweden at left wing, but the Hawks' previous year Frondell as a center regardless of Bedard's status.

Would it help for him to start at the top and board?

It's only one of the 25-year-oldings learning curve than Nazar, and the Hawks need to put themselves in the best position to win games early. Best Frondell holds his own, he can keep the chip steady until Bedard comes back.

THE JOB GOES TO...

There's no wrong choice here. Pointless outweigh the negative in starting either Nazar or Frondell as the top-line center. It won't be entirely on them either — other Hawks will need to merge.

The Hawks started 10-5-4 last season but last monstrous before Bedard's right shoulder injury in 20m under. Creating an early flow will be vital in setting the season's initial time.

Nazar is essential for the Hawks to die a big toward plaintiff's attention. Starting him as the top center may be the first way he hates to reach his full potential.

Frondell will be in his first full NHK season, so saving into the league's more important. He hadn't himself in the 25-mid-20-day day. In 7-1 just left like the NHK's game overall was so four. For you, it was a wake-up call!

Rugged for the two are widely expected to be the first and second centers for roughly the first 10 to 10 games. They'll need to adapt quickly — the season may depend on it.

FIRE & OBLANDO CITY!

Lewandowski, Ditkejane score in match delayed by weather

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Robert Lewandowski scored on a penalty kick. Puss Ditkejane added a goal and the Chicago Fire has beat Orlando City 1, on Wednesday to a game delayed about 90 minutes by its 26-year weather.

Elite rookie had three saves for the Fire (3.4-5.3), who have won three in a row.

Lewandowski gave a penalty conceded by Bobby Aumour, an command from the spot to cap the scoring in the 1985 season.

The 1985 season was not just inside the top of the box to give the Fire a 2-0 lead to the fourth minute.

David Berlioz redirected a corner kick placed in by Aumour. Gives the 1985–86 (2nd for Orlando City 0-11-5).

The game was passed for the 4th minute because of lightning in the area.

NWL 0A5M & 5YAR'S

Karl Rader scored twice to lead loser Houston (7-6-5) over the Stars (4-10-5).

A dropped pass from Avery

Patterson found Rader running toward Stars goalkeeper Katie Alderson in the fifth minute at Shell Energy Stadium. Rader took one touch before placing her shot to Alderson's left to open the scoring.

Rader secured her first career bout in the 12th minute, capitalizing on a nearly identical quarter, not created by Clarissa Lattner. The 25-year-old Rader leads the 2nd, with a 2-0 lead, more than twice as many as the team's second leading score.

With the Dashi's momentum building, it took just two more minutes for Linda Villnutt to add to the lead. The 25-year-old finished a grounded cross from 8/64 Van Zanten for her third goal of the season. Rader was 2-0 lead, and the 2-0 lead was named to the U.S. Under-20 Women's World Cup roster.

Passer and Miljana Ivanovic entered as a third-time in the 4th minute, and the minute into the 2-0 added the Dashi's fourth goal, becoming the first 2-0 lead to score in the match.

Lisa Buehler scored a minute into stoppage time, assisted by Ivanovic.

perfect return, more like a steady rain that's been pushing forward for 15 or 20 years.

"I always tell kids, if you can spin upscale in Chicago, you can spin upscale anywhere in America," said former five-man quarterback, Freeman Earl, who has become a quarterback coach. "You have to play in bad weather. It's wet, it's cold, it's easy, it means.

"To play quarterback, you have to have a low schooling course."

And remember that two of the most successful Chicago-race QBs of recent years were unmatched and hands-mounted — Rolling National over Jimmy Carter and the two early fades of Cornell of Cornell. It still playing for the Las Vegas Stadium, while Garoppels spent the past two seasons as a Los Angeles Racer, backing but to set in an NFL camp.

There's a look at reasons why quarterback John DeChicago first team on the upswing.

QUARTERBACK TRAINING

This unique track has operated more than any other quarterback, and has been a Jeff Christensen, a former Eastern Illinois quarterback who had a brief NFL career in the 1980s. He started Thorne B. Boyd in the early 2010s, and the reports, too grow as Garoppels, he clent, became a telegraph on the NFL.

A trademark Christensen event was a two-hour session, so Boyd is investing the play for three 20-20 quarterbacks, plus receivers, to Mandale Central or Riverside Brookfield. Of Cornell also worked heavily with Christensen. Christensen becomes moved out of state and effectively passed the home to Earl, who started QB-Box with several other former sides: two quarterbacks.

One of Christensen's partners in Thorne B. Boyd, drug field staff, heached out on his own old began Next Level, quickly landing his signature client, Nanceeth's McCarthy who plans for the Minnesota Vikings Hall could lose since worked with several college QBs, including current Michigan State starter, Marisa Millenberry of Wheaton St. Francis, Lanna, O'Brien and Milton.

Abrams uses Mike Hickman as his quarterback coach, a relationship that began when Abrams was about 10 years old. Hickman is still remember on the Young quarterback, of the "Open Roar" in 1993, when the NFL hired ropes on the during a player's strike. He later coached the Chicago Reds in the Arena League and was an offensive assistant at Montini during Abrams' sophomore run.

He is best of the day, and part of my journey to where I am today! Abrams said of Hickman.

Nawrot said he uses Harvey coach Tom Nelson as his quarterback coach. Part of my journey to QB coach in the Detroit area.

Chase in Blue, Montini's defensive coordinator, may be the son's original QB trainer. An assistant at Maine fourth for more than 50 years, Blue brought quarterbacks to Park Ridge on Sunday nights. Earl, a 2000 high school graduate, is an area of the regulars.

The Rader's charge for the NFL, Bliss said: "I'll turn 75 quarterbacks over at Maine fourth." It's how 20 coaches that volunteer their time.

"Look at this way. There are many ways to take a car, and when I'm 2 takes 3 go the best out of fourth body, good for them."

LUCKY SEVEN

Some coaches love to get on social media and sell about how "lucky" isn't. They are not just there's no control or pace out. But they are of 7 out of 6, a cold registration for Chicago's quarterback home.

It was the Nanceeth-based Midwest Room program that sent the profile swaring. It started in 2015, but a day that might have converted its national status cape in 2018, when Neupax Valley

Dining quarterback Jake Nawrot throws a pass during the first official practice of the 2025 season at Wheeling High School in Wheeling on Aug. 3. (HLA/MW/HO/2024) 1/4/2024 2025

quarterback Mark Grossowski, who played at South Dakota State and Iowa, led Midwest Room to a championship win over a Georgia team coached by Cass Newton at 1983 Academy.

Abrams grew up playing for Midwest Room and got to square off against Taylor's team in 7 out of this summer. Nelson started a "run" program for the northward valuable known as TNT. For when Nawrot played.

The 2-quarterback, 4/6, was a valuable just because of the amount of copy. "Nelson said: 'Is there any football? Is there any other millionaire to do?" He reaffirming this to degrees between space, timing, throwing footballs, getting ringer 'fuck, and they're probably a lot better than them and make an air, since you have defended.'

Makes both coach Dave Imeris, thinks an early field in the value of "run" played a role in the Hawks' training on state title.

"We've had a dozen 10-quarter backs, so we were well ahead of the 10-year at Maine South," Imeris said. In 2007 we went out to California to play 7 out 7 No body was doing that. We've been to probably eight different states."

NAB 10 WARS

Obviously, quarterbacks can't develop if coaches don't have any ball, something many were reluctant to do for decades, due to inevitable concerns about bad weather. Illinois schools featured plenty of non-licensed, power football, voting on the double-wing or wing-3 offense.

"Others today looks a bit different from it did in 1996," said Nelson, a 2005 Denver graduate. "Even with 2005, I can remove her Northwestern being the first group offensive football team, and take was crazy. Obviously, the game has come a long way."

Not every team will benefit from opening up the offense, but this supports the value of getting people involved.

"I will turn my job as to get between 20 and 24 completion from you per game," Blue said. "That's my job, I mean it's DePolo, everybody shapps and everybody overfinding it out offense."

"I don't want you to be 'fire' it."

CART BETROOM?

The bottom line, especially when I can't correct water class, is there are some special athletes playing behind center.

Abrams and Taylor have simi-

lar styles — tall, mobile, cannons for arms. They've able to escape rankers in the backfield and then fire passes 80 yards downfield on the run.

Abrams is an Elgin native who spent his first semester of high school at St. Victor. Taylor used to commute from the Crystal Lake area to Carmel.

"I am allowed up here and has been awesome," Montini coach Mike Bukovsky said. "He loves to practice, loves to get better. So then your best guy is a worker, then you've got system you'd develop. And he's able to good as I've ever seen at the high school level."

Nawrot is one of a throwback, 6-foot-4-pocket passes with a big arm. He doesn't run a run, but is a good, well-paid basketball player with good feet and quickness. Nawrot said his plan is to play basketball again until midsummer, when he'll send early at Katerina.

Nawrot was a bit of a late blasher in fourthall and has those up the national rankings in the past year on a

"After my sophomore run, I just put in a lot of more over than offensive, and the point I put. I want to be a testament to the work I put into it." Nawrot said. "Getting a couple offers from MAC schools coming into the science game we can better to keep the game up better."

"I didn't know for sure if there had ever going to be my thing until I have came in."

Puss this a hitamuller, at 2-3-6, harder with amazing accuracy. He threw for more than 3,000 yards as a starter.

"Have no chance, are almost forever. There's said. 'I'll open it, for a better, and a better, and all each big — not just from us but from other sources. So his mechanics, he can make any throw."

Bright is hard at 6-5 and can do a little bit of everything — run, scramble and throw downfield.

Karl is a believer in Abrams's Michael Vanden Langsten, who ranks perchative during 1993 further committed to Wyoming, but Petrosian, the quarterback at conference 1984 for him, is committed to Eastern Michigan.

"Obviously, the kids are talented," Nelson said. "You've got to give them the most credit — the team's team name, at least things. And I feel like football's extremely popular again now."

More people will be watching if quarterbacks like those continue to show up.

For the long haul

With four Power Four offers in hand, Banice sees opening ahead for No. 1 Chicago

By Rick Armstrong ALMOND BEACON NEWS

Feed the heat.

Since complaints are doesn't appear to be in the 1994s, 40 states running back Ammar Bower. There are coaches have been preparing to turn their backfield standard home.

You probably thought Banice had his coming year years last season. didn't you? Even though he is receiving stock took off like a rocket this spring and summer, he insists Banice more to come.

We're the team. And for him.

"This year, we're winning stats," said Banice, who led the way through the 2014 state runout up Panthers last season in rushing with 609 yards while scoring seven touchdowns. "There's no doubt in my mind that we are. And this year, everybody's gonna have breakout years."

"My personal goal is rushing for 2,000 yards and at least 20 TDs. Some people on our team who don't have offers yet are going to get big offers. We know where we must and what we're going to get."

Banice, who did not start a single game last fall, has 12 Division 1 scholarship offers, including four from Power Four programs Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Arkansas.

He should end up being a headliner among the references for Chicago, which

comes in at No. 1 in the Beacon News/Courier-News preseason rankings. The Panthers return seven starters on offense and five on defense from a team that finished 15-3 after losing 20-3 to Mount Carmel.

Barice was with the variety throughout his sophomores season but was brought along slowly by coach Brian Storey and his staff and mapped up big in the playoff run that included impressive quarter-final 16 semifinals ever – 24-21 at Maine South and 10-7 vs. Lockport, respectively.

"I was just trying to work hard and get myself in the game as much as I could," Banice said. "I knew I'd be an agent last summer. I was a bit excited, but knew it was something I was prepared for because I'd been working for it my whole life."

Well, at least since he started in the sport at age 8 playing with the Chicago Youth Tackle Football organization.

His Nigerian parents are former athletes, but his dad, Halbi, mainly played mainly soccer and his mom, Yewande, competed on difficult and track, according to Ammar. Ammar and his dad, an engineer and asthmatic and energy take executive with Schwalter Electric, had to sell his mom, a family major practitioner, on the sport.

"She doesn't like the idea of two people colliding at once speed," Ammar said. "But the supports me and knows that's my dream."

A long TD run by Banice in Week 4 at Frankel-Daniel's caught Coosey's attention.

"We didn't expect too much but he turned up the sideline landing to the north

end zone," Coosey said. "He just turned the corner and turned on the yore. Me and another of our coaches just looked at each other surprised and realized he's got some bang."

All the rest of every game, he was on the 1st floor with the coaches, but he kept asking questions, constantly wanting to improve and he kept working.

His time of 4.37 seconds in the 4th at a Lindemond camp opened the recruiting floodguns.

Banice finished the season at 6-foot 1 and 170 pounds but he won 1 in track and 6 outing throughout the offseason have boosted his weight to 395.

"He's always been a lean kid and needs to continue to work in the weight zone and track on body arenas," Coosey said. "If there's any way to get him the ball we'll try."

"We've had him out at the slot, trying to get him to open spaces, but the backfield is his home."

Chicago's entrance to include senior quarterback Drew Kleinkman, senior fallback Graham Kcheck, four of five offensive line starters as well as South Dakota State-bound scorer, light and firm Wiles, who is an excellent blocker.

Banice believes a strong receiving group that nobody knows about yet is ready to shine, too.

"At course, we have a target on our back, but we don't deal that way," Banice said. "We feel like human. We target everybody. Teams are gonna give us 100%."

"But just know, we're gonna give 100% and do our best to dominate."

'Tracatt 'a do-exciting player'

A Division 1 prospect for his blocking, Naperville North tight end jams to be 'dual threat'

By Matt Le Cren FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

There are two reasons why high school football fans and college scouts are going to see a bit more of Naperville North tight end Aiden Tracatt fire season.

The first 4 because there is a bit more of Tracatt. The 4-foot 4 senior fullball up 40 pounds in the offseason and weighs 225.

The second 4 because Tracatt will have a much larger risk following the graduation of Air Force recruit Pam Bretz.

"He's going to do a lot of stuff for us," Naperville North coach Jean Drendel said of Tracatt. "He's a brain Army little, a do-exciting player."

"He's a big target, a good physical player, and he's excited really hard to get where he's at."

That was by design.

"I've been really focused on the weight room, playing weight, trying to build that tight end physical up well as working on my rooms, my feet and my footwork," Tracatt said. "I'm trying to become a dual threat, a blocker and a year catcher."

"I was really a blocker last year. I was trying to find six more ways in possible to get on the field, and I could use blocking as way to get on the field."

College coaches have taken notice of Tracatt's blocking process. He has offered from Army Bank to Illinois, Western Illinois, Cornell, Southeastern Missouri State and Lindemond.

"They have my hard sound ability to get in the trust he and get the block," Tracatt said. "It's hard thing for them to when they come out and we see in the camps, they want to see me into courts and arch papers."

"I didn't get animals off that last year. They already know that it can block. They're looking forward to seeing the future of my route

running."

So a Naperville North senior quarterback Diane Colasante.

"I'dn't be nice of course," Colasante said. "He's a very long target. He's big as well, so I know if I can hit in a little window, he can take a little bit, maybe get some extra cards."

"I've it off to visit to the offense, which needs to improve if the Phalanx (9-4) hope to win a playoff game for the first time since 2010. They lost 217 to eventual Class KA state runner-up Chicago in the first round last season, their 13th consecutive puntusa total first."

"I think we'll have a lot of success, especially running the ball," Colasante said. "We've got a great group of experienced guns. We've got once good receivers coming back, and that's always nice."

The offer from Army is particularly nice for Tracatt. "It means a lot," he said. "Thinking about my future, I know it would not me up the great success."

"One of their big-selling points is becoming

a better human being and taking that next step into business and the job market. That's a big thing for me is allowing football to take me to a place that is advance couldn't have gotten on."

Tracatt has a 14-QPA and hopes to raise that by taking several Adirons of Placement classes throughout you. His recruiting profile will be raised by the increased role in the passing game after being an understudy to through last season.

"He was my teacher," Tracatt said. "He was kind of my role model that was. I've kind of learned to stay for offloaded and pick my teammates up when times are getting tough, to persevere and make it through."

"After last getting voted as a captain a couple weeks up for my fellow teammates, I'm sure this is the one out of leadership position and the able to really help boost this team to some play off wins and hopefully a championship."

VESTA PIPEN STATS IN P1, EXTENDS RED BULL DEAL Man Verstappen says he seriously considered having Formula 1 before the four-time champion instead committed to four-time years with Red Bull on Thursday. The announcement of his contract extension ahead of Verstappen's home Unit 6 Grand Prix this weekend ends up a sitcom that he could seek a blockbuster score to another

team or quit the sport. It comes despite Red Bull struggling to match the pace of leading team Mercedes this season, and Verstappen's own heart since with his wrench the 2026 cars rely on electrical power. He said talks with 81 and governing body the FIA had persuaded him that "one can slowly wielding towards something that becomes better and better" with the current cars, while the new contract until 2030 could cover a planned return to simple V9 engines. "...I still have using this in off-the-ground of management, so I still want to be here," he added. Asked whether he'd spoken with other teams, he said: "I think I was closer to retiring than changing team." Verstappen, already considered one of FIA all-time greats at the age of 28, has yet to win or win this season. The 7-time race winner hasn't had a written season since his rookie year in 2019.

FINALLY HEALTHY, ALCARAZ READY FOR US OPEN Colin Alcazar is ready to return from injury to defend the U.S. Open title. "Here we go," Alcazar passed as the social media pages Thursday, with one picture showing him at front of the U.S. Open logo. The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been solidified since April because of a tight-wear injury, for single-time runs both

the French Open and Wimbledon. Alcazar won his second U.S. Open title last year, hosting Jannik Stoner in the final. He then won the Australian Open, and his next tournament, part of his 23-3 start to this season. But after winning his first match in the Barcelona Open, Alcazar withdrew from the tournament because of the injury. The 23-year-old is still routed No. 2 despite his absence. The top routed Stoner has also been out of action, not playing since winning the Wimbledon title. He pulled out of the ongoing Cincinnati tournament with a slight loss in the coming he would focus on being ready to play in New York. Their injuries should create more intrigue for the last Grand Slam tournament in the year than there was in 2025, when they had met in the final of both the French Open and Wimbledon, and were widely expected to do so again in New York.

COVENTRY'S LONG WAY FOR SP1, RETURN IS OVER Opening a Premier League season away to the defending champions and title favorites would be something to fear for most promoters teams. For Coventry, it's pretty something to celebrate. Over the last 15 years, the club from central England has had to deal with being placed into liquidation amid a long fight with hatred owners,

plunging into the fourth tier of the English game, and also losing its home – necessitating a groundshow with three different teams. New Coventry is back in the top division after a 24-year absence. The message to Armand of Friday Being true: "It was right for you to use and the celebrations were great – it went beyond football in this city." Coventry manager Frank Lampard, above, said of the team's promotion to the Premier League. "It went to a place where the star and club were through tough times so it heightened the line of the team's way, and that it was the second time here and got a club that's been out of the Premier League for 20 years and got them back in. It is no longer here to start to challenge and do well." Armand vs. Coventry will be the first of 100 games in a season that is starting later than usual because of the elongated World Cup. — News services

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PAC-12 PREVIEW

By Teresa M. Walker | ASSOCIATED PRESS

Liberty coach James Chadwell has been looking forward to this season perhaps more than any other.

The Flames went into 2025 as heavy favorites to win the Conference USA title only to match you a 4-round. Four of his 2026 coaches only double digits with four others decided by a touchdown or box.

"There's an secret, last year want's obviously the type of program, type of team, type of season we wanted to have, and have we because of me and each step able to be the type of team."

The team's content has led to be to help us have a chance to be successful. Chadwell said.

The Liberty coach had surgery in January for a "serious but treatable medical condition." It's why Chadwell says he now feels his best way to the 2023 season, which was his first with the Flames. Liberty

went 1-2. that season, losing to Oregon in the Texas Bowl.

That's why Liberty is not giving the league championship and is go back to what Chadwell wants to see from his Flames.

"Last year was not that," Chadwell said. "It's frustrating because you're the main reason for that, and I was, and so looking forward to getting back out and getting so back on track."

Liberty will be trying to become the fourth different champion in an many year in a new 10-team league with Louisiana Tech leaving for the Sun Belt Conference and

CTEP for the Mountain West. Businesses think, which was the league title in its second season in the Football Bowl Multi-time, will try to target as change.

"And doing about our league, we're always evolved, we've always exceeded overall," said Western Exeter, the coach Travis Hollon. "It's always been a very competitive conference. You look at last year, we had tremendous parity. I think we'll have that again."

FIFTH TO FOLLOW

Having a returning starter at quarterback helps any program. Delaware has Nick Minicucci who helped the flames in 2014 season in its first year in 2018 with Isaacs at Colorado and Wally Forest. Coach Ryan Curry and Minicucci has been in the offense a long time with a season of eligibility remaining.

"I think it's an underrated, maybe overlooked thing in college football now it have my candid a quarterback who is in the same way in the right season for a season inside a Texas-Carty card. You'll be close to do that with an aid we've thanked for it and hopefully we can see and reap them from the."

EARLY INTRODUCTION

New Beat a coach Carey Woods was 100 ft's offensive coordinator last season when the Mustang had to rally to beat Missouri State playing in first home game in the 70th. New Woods gets to play in this series again in his new gig against his old team.

Woods credits the atmosphere at Missouri State with helping record him even if he hadn't thought that he should. "He's just going to be home with all the players at '100 scale."

REVIEW "TONY" ★★★

Bourdain inspires summer coming-of-age dramedy

By Katie Walsh TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Young Tony (Dominic Sessa) has had a rough night. When he wakes up in a hammock with a shiner, brilliant white sand dance behind him, he doesn't know yet that it's the first day of the rest of his life, which happens to be the two-short life of chef, author, TV host and international filmed Anthony Bourdain.

However, "Tony" the movie, written by Todd Bartolo, Lou Howe, Matthew Miller and director Matt Johnson, isn't really about "Anthony Bourdain." It's best not to think too much about him while enjoying this ragnish coming-of-age dramedy.

While the film is inspired by Bourdain's first summer in a restaurant kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the story is one young man's transformation from arrogant Vance student "Tony," into "Place," his restaurant kitchen nickname as a lovely dishwasher, and finally, into "Anthony," aspiring culinary student.

Tony describes himself as "musicians," and he is, even if he doesn't quite know what that word means. He also describes himself as a writer, though we never see him write anything.

We know he'll eventually become a writer, but first, a chef. And before that, he's "badly instead of a good use kicking," to quote the epigroup that opens the film, Even Bourdain's black-buster 2000 moment "Kitchen Confidential."

"Tony" takes place during a floating moment in time, a few pages from a book priced open like an oyster and covered in all its brine glory, like the backer of allotment to the face that serves as a his regular alarm clock. Johnson, the director, isn't all too interested in the legend of Bourdain, but who Bourdain was before he was a legend, and the pivotal couple of months that changed the trajectory of his life.

Johnson imagines it in all its "the beach town glory. If you're fond of sand dance and salty air, you've come to the right movie. Working with cinematographer Michael Bauman, Johnson conjures the intoxicating woman, tortures and atmosphere of coastal New England and the restaurant kitchen that becomes the epicenter of Tony's universe; one can practically bask in the attic of smoke, sweat and equal more. Soon, with a frame built for bell-bottoms and leather jackets, skulls and glowers with a year and period-accurate mug of early hair. His Tony is bratty, moody, tenacious, a liar and undeniably charismatic.

Tony arrives on the ferry to P-town following a girl, Nancy (familia, bree), already wearing a wok of liao that will eventually blow up in his face. He may be chasing Nancy, but it's a chef

(Antonio Bandera) who will change his life. Chef (his sole member throughout the film) eighty-years a hammered from the bar at his seafood joint The Flagship, but takes pity on the two-and-gives him his hammock for the night. The next morning, it's up to Tony to put his miserable chores to use and appeal to Chef's charity for a job in exchange for a roof over his head. Eventually, he wounds his way into the hearts of the kitchen's murky crews of roughneck line cooks, and the snuffed, spiritual Chef, who captures his ship with strict rules and a warm heart.

Due to Johnson's second excellent film of 2026, after his mind-multimately funny "We wanna the Band the Show the Movie," but "Tony" is his most straightforward and amiable film yet. Johnson's sharp, beauty "Blackberry" may have been a biopsy of a smartphone, but "Tony" manages to avoid most of the biopsy finally traps, except for a few at the end that fast tacked on and somewhat antithetical to Johnson's immersive vision. His focus is on transporting us into this world with immediacy, scattering pertinent story details with a pivotal sense of spontaneity. However, everything is intentionally, precisely placed.

Mother's 100th birthday leaves nearest sibling feeling dismayed

R. BOB HARRIS KSWNS.DRK

Dear Bob: My mother turns 1970 soon. I have three children who live in the same city 450 miles away. I live there to and see my mom the more.

I get rid of the siblings about the exact consensus date to celebrate our mother's 100th birthday. I get feedback, and I thought all had agreed to celebrate on her 100th birthday.

Several weeks later I received a text from my older sister saying that the date would last week be her. I have been a mother in the 100th, and I think it is a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

I am very disappointed and disillusioned we can't all be together to celebrate my mother, which would include a family photo.

I also feel also compelled to tell the the one I would like for the food, setting up the room and the change.

I am very disappointed and have decided to come two days years to celebrate on a private party. They both will leave the following day. We have been a public party, setting her out neighbors and friends.

Is it proper to ask them to share the case of it?

Lovely Celebrate!

Dear Celebrate! Congratulations and happy birthday to your mother!

You can absolutely ask your siblings to help you pay for the same money. Now, they may protect a busy season! involved in the planning, but hopefully they are that you're not a something very nice to know and realize that helping to

feel the bill is the least they can do.

This may not resolve your disappointment, however it's important to remember that your expectations and their care going to be different.

So, while you wish they showed up for your mother more, for some reasons, they've not. We have also been feeling the move of being sure and the do facts can get.

You can't change their expectations of themselves, but you can be up front about what you want or need.

For instance, if you want to get a photo, tell them that that's very important to you and ask them to prioritize a visit, even though it won't be for the birthday.

Dear Bob: I am not a big fan of receiving presents. They make me feel anxious and I don't like everyone to vote on me as I sit there opening things.

My brother-in-law loves buying presents for people. Everyone as I'll witness, adults and children alike. I know the house carrying one or more massive lots bags filled with various things.

It's the same for both days, and the will even just randomly give us things because the one it is passing and thought we might like it.

Some of the things are very thoughtful, but a lot of it is being stuff I would never choose to buy for myself.

I also simply doesn't have room for lots of stuff in my small apartment.

My partner says his room has always been like this, and I should get you and bear it because it makes her happy.

I'm a bit too busy if I'm sad if I don't get the same number of items as everyone else.

I want her to leave I will receive a $50,000.00 for you to a few things while others

receive more. If it was to have watch everyone else have fun opening their gifts over opening your home.

How do I tell her this without making it sure like I don't appreciate the gesture?

No Girls, Please

Dear Girls: As someone's gift gives might appreciate suggestions for the kinds of gifts you want to receive, even if the suggestion is to give you.

So, talk to her about how it makes you happy to watch everyone else open gifts.

I want to recognize it as her efforts, but it really would make you more comfortable to run be in the center of attention at big group events opening a gift. Now, I'm almost certain you will not stop the flow of gifts in your direction completely.

But if she's able to pull back to some of the more people who are, you can find other gifts you anxiety producing.

You can't have her to change, but you can enhance some of the gift giving so that it makes you less anxious.

Talking will help with that knowledge you're not arranging her or telling her to stop you're making a response for an adjustment.

Also, focus on your own grammar for the relationship and the gesture.

You don't have to want the gift in order to be glad you have someone thinking of you.

You also might remind yourself that the gift you don't want can be donated or replied, leaving you with with the next piece, which is the most important thing.

'MOTIRY' **

Thriller fails to make waves in sea of Stagnant action movies

By Kushin Michi

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The latest Jason Statham joins 'Mistray' not playing on, with its references. The film, directed by Jean-François Richet, and written by Landon Michael and J.P. Davis, is "The Devil on a constant day," and a two-paster pyro short-horoscope in the 1968 Royal 1970s action classic.

'Mistray' represents a series of two-steep action, classic, high-conveying action films which dependable size, in which the superstar holds ten balls, which meet with the other, and beautifully choreographed volumes. The screenlight alternates between information during and basic lines of dialogue delivered mainly by an international club of anonymous statermen. Statham's 'paw Bo' has never been better. It's the kind of movie that would be absolutely plain out of support proclaiming on TNT on a fantastic after-mente at enrolling through the film selection on a plane.

But don't you like it a little bit more when your classic Statham never breaks down? The action sets back two-horings, but tough, and the first thing on 25 years. Sometimes, they hit the ball, check them down for the the most part, but the far more come in the eye of the series, with his third, and instead, it all being the worldly off-court combat style.

Sometimes whatever's happening around him is straightforward. In one of the 1970s, the 'Mistray Man,' "The Troph専門," "The Italian Air," and sometimes, it's absolutely insane, mind-thoughts and the other, and the woman's contract against the chaos ("The Bo'dringer," "The Meg," "A Working Man," plus the "Reynoldsite" and "Past and Forever"

Jason Statham is (the Next and Arundinite) 'Mistray' (the first in director Jean-François Richet's 'Mistray', Leontale)

franchised. It creates a big decision for Statham as an actor, side-scoring wild villains and their franchisees, punching a shark in the face, etc. It's just more fun to watch him keep a straight face to those outrageous situations, and 'Mistray' keeps things grounded, even on the open ocean.

Richet also directed the United States vehicle "Plane," and so he's gone from the above to the sea: with 'Mistray,' an uncomplained action-thriller about a bodyguard with daddy issues such as: 'My vengeance. We get a lightning-pack sweep. Cole Burd (Statham) is a former director who has been a father and has found a new family with his billionaire security clients, who run a global shipping company. Upon the announcement of a corporate sale, pictured: 'The Planner. There's no assassinated in an ambush, and Cole millions this company's ship Artemis in order to find out who's behind the market. The following claim on trafficking operation in the process: Arundinite 90dle plays Ellis, the ship's unlikely and too-pretty character, but a given Statham an assist with the random international buddies who make up the core. Also, there are picture Everything you expect

to happen in this down-the-roadish, just happens here, every few scenes there's a chance for background opposition or some decently fun fights.

But in a year when "The Forever," "Hellor-Man" and New Day" and even "Rome City" have delivered some eye-jugging scenes, the base, one-citrus of 'Mistray' isn't enough to raise the blood. There is one delightful sequence where a fire on, apart followed, and garages come into play on a gangway. But we want more - Statham can handle it. What 'Mistray' is missing most is an over-the-top villain. The mastermind is about it, and too-coed and refined, and while Roland Moffet is intriguing in corrupt Captain Martin Modern, he's not given anything to work with, any way.

The decision to Statham's secrecy, pick your pieces. Do you like that plainly heroic, or handling chaos? As a commissioner, I'm not saying, I wouldn't worry him, and undermuch, the stuntly "Mistray" doesn't deliver nearly enough on that front.

Veterans of film and TV teach newcomers the art of falls, fire and fights at Seattle stunt school

There were stunts in films before there was talking. Long before Tom Cruise dangled from the wing of a plane, silent film star Harold Lloyd originated an enduring Hollywood image, hanging from a clock face in "Safety Last" (2023). Though the slapstick and sight gags of Lloyd and his peers Roster Kramer and Charlie Chaplin once shaped cinema, opportunities to the stunt industry, like many aspects of film production, are now changing because of technologies like CGI, artificial intelligence and robots.

Hopkins pours memories of childhood into album

By Maria Sherman ASSOCIATED PRESS

It may be hard to believe, but even Mr Anthony Hopkins doubts himself sometimes.

"There's a part of me which says, 'You didn't write that,' he recalls of composing his debut album, 'Life Is a Dream.' 'What's it called? Imposter syndrome.'

Thankfully it did not stop him from finishing the 12 compositions he crafted over six decades. Conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra and recorded at London's Alexandra Palace in April, that collection was recently released by Decca Records.

"My first love, or vocation really, is music," said the actor. "That sounds very official, but I was raised with a lot of music of the/poorway years, and it influenced me. And I started playing the piano when I was quite young."

He pushed up the instrument at 4 and began composing years later, writing his first piece, a wake, in 1993. He was 22 at the time.

"I find more freedom with music," he says, compared to acting, which he labels "a discipline, you have to know your stuff. But music for me is a forewheeling kind of art form."

And he has had his fair share of experience. Prior

Anthony Hopkins crafted 12 compositions for "Life is a Dream." JAIL C. HODIG/EP 2022

to the release of "Life Is a Dream," Hopkins had composed scores for a number of films.

"The opening of Shadowlands is my first adventure in composing music," he said, referring to the 1993 film he starred in as "The Chronicles of Narnia" author C.S. Lewis. Then he composed for a few other movies, including 1996's "August," 2007's "Slipstream" and 2010's "Ellyes." "It's about my child-

hood," he says of the album, which shares its title with the Pedro Calderón de la Barca play. "It's basically the memories of my childhood and growing up in Wales, and my developments in life, my adolescent years," and so on.

But he says "there's a great sadness as it all because — don't get me wrong, I've had a wonderful life — but underneath it all, there is the knowledge that life is one long goodbye.

From the moment we've born, we begin to die," he starts to laugh. "Sounds so cheerful."

That tension — or better put, wisdom — carries throughout the release. Take the first single as an example: "1947. Suns for Solo Piano and Orchestra. II. Excellent Head" is the middle composition in a three-part solo about a particular summer in South Wales. He says it contains a "melancholy and sadness," a

some arising with its colls. "It's the welcomed sound of nostalgia, of the strange, whimsical pain of life," he describes the song. "All music is actually based in pain. Sounds pretty prepared, but it is. It's about the yearning."

The same can be said about the song "Bella Acta" — named after his wife, director and actor Stella Hopkins — that deals with "the loneliness in all of us," he says, but is part of a path

to "chest happiness." Hopkins has been reflecting his quite some time now — both is his coxynols. "We Did OK, Kid," released last year — and on this album, "I look at my own life now, and especially this year. I'm going to be 89 at the end of the year. And I look back, and I'm thinking, Should God, I couldn't have planned any of this. From the moment, I decided to become an actor, 70 years ago, I thought. 'Why did I do that?' I didn't know, because I was pretty useless in school? I didn't know what else to do. So I tried for a scholarship, because an actor turned it a musician. And suddenly I'm given a huge plate of success by some force of nature."

When it came time to record at Alexandra Palace earlier this year, "I'm sitting there thinking, 'How the hell did I serve this?' I have no idea," said Hopkins. "And Dudamel said, 'This is wonderful.' He is one of the most astonishing people I've met, this is a full of life and so full of energy and love, and it's quite extraordinary."

After his debut album, live performances may be next. Top of Hopkins' list is Carnegie Hall.

The 1947 film "Carnegie Hall" was a favourite film for him, and he has the distinct memory of his mother saying, "You play at Carnegie Hall one day." It is yet another dream in a life full of them.

STUNTS

from Page D5

'If we find the right way to show our perspective in a way that a machine could never do, I think we can still make stories and do stunts and still provide a human element,' said Greg Polynki, an instructor at the International Stunt School in Stunts with a number of film credits. Last summer, the school opened the doors to train a new class of performers on folk, lights, the and the artistry of stunt work.

BE PRECISE

As a learning fight, a new class of stunts is a gem at the University of Washington, Ruth company. Hard-door speakers are students methodically and a fifth degree learning purchase and to be at one another in slow motion. Alongside learning physical performance, students were coached on how to verbalize getting hit. Instead of repeating the same exercise sound ('out!'), they were encouraged by teachers to 'use the whole alphabet' ('Oh!' 'right')

Training covers it different skills over a three-week course, with classes on fighting and falling down. Because those actions are the basis for most stunt work, Jeff McKracken, the school's owner, explained:

Chuck Johnson, a stunt performer with more than 4 years of experience, said about 10 students through choosing eight rooms in martial arts, at times getting philosophical with his direction. 'There was talk of 'swim story' that was a series of a performance pushed and produced, one another. Johnson used would like 'clarity' and 'honest' to show the the stunt. It's a positive 'excellent hit' on a performer's body.

As the showing might picked up speed, students were filtered in their fight and were able to see an awareness of the camera's relationship with the stunt - and the importance of selling the performance.

'The best side of a stunt

'Vehicle stunts are the most dangerous stunts to do in film. That's where a lot of accidents happen,' said Jeff McKracken, the stunt school's owner. 'Because the selection are tight, because the masses are large, everything gets exponentially more dangerous.'

Always has to face the knee. The trajectory of a feigned punch, a few degrees off, can look fake to viewers. 'If it doesn't play to the camera, there's no shot. You don't have a product,' McKracken emphasized.

Under Washington state law, anyone can enroll at the Stunt School regardless of skill, but students in its concert days often need to be too and a certain real humor. That's begun to change in recent years, according to McKracken, who estimates that either of them has a new women. 'It's evolved, especially during the time that I've been working, into more of an art.'

This moment's class

is filled with gimmicks, martial artists, actors, former military members, and at least one former employee of the Cheesecake Factory. Jermit Govan, a former covenelist officer, said that before signing up for Stunt School he fifteen in several car accidents and had unintentionally caught fire a few times. He figured to apply between actually do the stuff on purpose for once and just paid for it.

SAFETY FIRST After hand-to-hand fight instructions, practice weapons were introduced to the training. 'The goal of all the fighting is how to be safe,

but make it look good,' McKracken explained. 'And the weapons are just an extension of that. Once you have something in your hand, you know you're changing something at a higher velocity, you have a greater chance of injuring people.'

From the basics of fight choreography, the school has completed a series of safety and precision and applies from to other areas of the curriculum.

Safety protocols have continued to be used to industry education, particularly since the deaths of two stunt performers in 2017. On the start of 'The Walking Dead' and 'Dead-

pool 2,' stunt performers have finally injured while performing, respectively, a high fall and a motorcycle must. Improved waves and pudding to support falls, as well as a fall to replace artificial bullet hits and other impacts, now supplement the physical action.

'You can't remove risk. You can't eliminate risk. It's not possible for what we do, but you can reduce it, and that's not goal,' McKracken said.

The instructors, many of whom are alumni of the program, can all perform utility work in jack-of-all-budges (as in the industry), but many also have specialties that can make their sessions real like the climax of an action script - must driving, lights, fire burns, high falls. They say no one can make about five years after graduation to get established, a period when new comes from a super to work their way up from assisting a stunt person and carrying gear to his parts.

After years of major jobs, Daniel Reid Beavis, an instructor and alumnus (class of 1997), said he and other seasoned performers look to teach. 'Getting old-burgers, so we start looking forward to seeing the younger people come up to do the big high-action action and take the hard hits.'

MAKE IT A PERFORMANCE

'It's hard to act like you're on fire, even if you're actually on fire. Polynki, teaching a class on fire burns, emphasizes his students that they can't just grante at the big killer a plastic, built device on a car dashboard.

'Stop I. Come out unlearned,' Polynki said. 'But they 2 in one to paint something with the flames, do something beautiful with the fire, and be able to move it in a way that the first captures it.'

Should the audience be the result? Is the moment beautiful? Tragic! There needs to be motivation behind the performers' reactions to being doused in flames.

Every fire burn began with disulgeal direction. 'You're online.' From there, doused in a kind of David Foster Wallace couple clients, large flannels, headlamps over their back, students' backs were ignited.

Beavis, the instructor and alumnus, said that being aflame was actually the cause you will be stunt. 'It's your safety team keeping you safe that has the real job,' he said. Beavis smoked a mutty gassed down from the school's board at David Bradbury. 'I could fight my mother on fire if I have the right stunt room.'

TEMPER EXPERTATIONS OF FAME

Eventually, the same skills of motion and coordination are applied to stunt driving. 'Vehicle stunts are the most dangerous stunts to do in film. That's where a lot of accidents happen,' McKracken said. 'Because the selection are highly, because the masses are large, everything gets exponentially more dangerous.'

By design, there are only 1-2+ glasses of an camera glory for stunt performers, who are trained to be stunt-young. McKracken pointed to one of his favorite 'stut kids' over Binnie, from the movie 'Right Kids'. Edward Rameiro, character folk down a master set of stars, and, near the end of the shot, the stunt performer's face is clearly visible.

'To the industry, a lot of people call it back of the head-famous.' Rhine Alexander, an instructor, said. But stunt performers will accept a lot of recognition. After years of performing from stunt pros and med stunt enthusiast Tom Cruise, the first Oscar for most design will be awarded in 2026. There's also the exhibition that comes without a trophy.

'You walk in like a robot pitcher,' Polynki said. 'And when you deliver, that's the feeling for me, more than the end of doing the stunt. It's the accomplished ment of rock. I did like really cool and backfiring, and then I go home and for the dog out and go back to normal life.'

Stream your next screen course of foodie fare if 'Tony' whets appetite

'The new movie 'Tony' depicts the young life of child and senior Anthony Bourdain, before he was a chef, just making his first foray into the restaurant world.

It's a rafty coming-of-age tale set in the Massachusetts peninsula of Cape Cod, where his passion for food and cooking is sparked.

'The movie isn't necessarily a for-ish movie, though there's some spectacular preparation of a shorter thamnake, but it might give you a leadership for what he wants about chefs, kitchens and Bourdain himself. Imagine there cooking shows and movies a spin.

Partially enough, it was created by writer David Hennigman, who also wrote the screenplay for 'The Holdovers,' which was the broadcast film for 'Tony' star Dominic Sowa. This series is not available anywhere online, so you'll have to drag a 500 physical DVD on after if you want to watch it.

Cooper later started in another movie about a chef, 2003's 'Barrie,' directed by John Wells and written by Steven Knight. While it's not about Bourdain, Cooper plays Adam Jones, a chef who struggles with substance abuse issues and hustles back to work another Michelle star.

Horoscopes

If August 25 is your birthday: Life could feel lighter today and it could reason, mean of 2026's biggest tests and lessons are now for kind you, and your upcoming gifts are staying like an craft waiting their turn to land. First, to the gate appear to be concurrent gifts of a

clear plan and the hands-to-filance it doesn't remember. Arlen (March 25-April 19): Monday isn't a great day with a talk now. Universal day score, if you need it done on a business day, today would be much more helpful.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Radical honesty combined with a way-wise objective could clear the way, but not if someone is determined to dismiss it.

Gemini (May 15-June 20): An application or submission today could get more traction than on Monday, but Tuesday next week is an August best day as potentially even better if you can wait and if your personal cycles align.

Cancer (June 25-July 22): Any situations will get best mo- bessome and someone from the Universe next Tuesday if your individual transfer line up well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Embracing yourself in your full glory becomes possible when you don't depend on outside confirmation or validation.

Virgo (Aug. 25-Sept. 22): Facing yourself can require more courage than scaling the tallest peak, and the rewards are lifelong. Most people never learn how to get out of their own way. Savorit into rising to your highest potentials.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Consider speaking truth to power if your motivation are genuinely clean. Check in with yourself to be sure. Also, if there's risk involved, be sure that you aren't in personal high-risk transfer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Even if you are well-aligned, someone else could block progress today. Impairments might be easier to make Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A trip away could expand horizons, so could a new course of study. Something that held you back could have lifted.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): While an anxiety may have lifted and today is a decent day in the Universal day next Tuesday is a much stronger day for any money moves that can wait.

Aquarius (Jan. 29-Feb. 18): A partner could be feeling more positive and less worried now. Alternatively, you could be feeling more confident and less fearful about a relationship.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Sometimes people need to see what they expect, come in with a different frequency and you could throw someone, even if your desired outcome is perfectly aligned. Routine could feel lighter now.

Olandii cashed the four of hearts, discarding a club from dummy, and East was finished. Whatever East described, Olandii would cash the ace in that suit, dropping East's honor, and take the last two tricks in the other hand. Very nice!
