埃塞奎尔·罗莫（Ezequiel Romo）的帮派在全景市（Panorama City）肆虐了数十年。

布莱斯街（Blythe Street）是一条两侧挤满公寓的短干道——自20世纪80年代以来，该团伙在此抢劫、盗窃、贩毒并枪击对手，似乎完全不顾洛杉矶市试图击败他们的努力。

市政府投入数百万美元治理破败环境，在街道两旁种树，并将一个堆满报废车辆的空地变成了公园。市府派遣了额外的警力巡逻，设立混凝土路障以封锁那些充当可开车购买可卡因（crack cocaine）的通道，并获得了一项禁止布莱斯街成员居住在全景市的禁令。

但该帮派依然存在。在2014年出狱后，罗莫夺取了布莱斯街的控制权。在随后的几年里，罗莫似乎在市政府失败的地方取得了成功。

罗莫冷酷且多疑，他下令处决内部竞争对手、涉嫌告密的人，甚至是一名因为纹了未经许可的纹身而遭殃的年轻追随者。他统治时期的余震是

厄尔尼诺现象可能会加剧加州海岸线的侵蚀

作者：RONG-GONG LIN II 和 ROBERT GAUTHIER

加利福尼亚州的现代海岸线正遭受前所未有的攻击，而厄尔尼诺（El Niño）现象可能会使情况进一步恶化。

海水温度升高正将潮线推向更高位置。强大的太平洋飓风正以一系列强浪冲击海岸线，导致基础设施摇摇欲坠，海滩被抹除。

而今年冬天预计会出现强厄尔尼诺现象，这将给海滩带来更多压力。从卡尔斯巴德（Carlsbad）到马里布（Malibu）再到圣克鲁斯（Santa Cruz），侵蚀已经以剧烈的方式重塑了热门海滩的地图。

例如，马里布杜姆角海滩（Point Dume Beach）的侵蚀情况如此严重，以至于海洋威胁要摧毁一条进入停车场的关键道路。

管理该海滩的洛杉矶县海滩与港口管理局（L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors）副局长沃伦·翁蒂韦罗斯（Warren Ontiveros）表示，来自远处飓风的汹涌海浪“吞噬了，我想应该是50或60英尺的沙子，然后直接冲到了路面上”。

工人们一直在紧急修建应急护岸——在海岸上放置岩石以加固海岸线抵御海浪——以支撑这条位于海洋与悬崖之间狭窄海岸带上的道路。这是车辆能够可靠到达当地人称之为“西向海滩”（Westward Beach）的唯一进入点。

“几十年来，海洋一直在夺走这个区域的沙子，因此保护那条道路的缓冲地带一直在缩小，”翁蒂韦罗斯说。

沿海社区面临着类似的挑战。

美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey）研究地质学家乔纳森·沃里克（Jonathan Warrick）表示：“我们在那些地方看到了异常严重的侵蚀，令人担忧的一点是，今年冬天我们很可能会遇到更大的海浪，因此我们的部分海岸线将遭受‘双重打击’。”

“这应该是我们沿海居民需要关注的问题。”

过去受“极强”厄尔尼诺现象影响的冬天——正如预报员所说，今年冬天几乎肯定如此——曾重创加州海岸。

特朗普助手成为公众关注焦点

这位加州保守派人士在总统身边占据一席之地

作者：ANA CEBALLOS 和 HANNAH FRY

华盛顿 —— 娜塔莉·哈普（Natalie Harp）从未像现在这样处于聚光灯下。

在这位 35 岁的白宫助手因能近距离接触特朗普总统而登上头条之前，她的早年生活大部分时间是在南加州度过的。她在那里接受家庭教育，并在周日前往一座巨型教会——她的哥哥说，这种安静的成长环境是由保守价值观和基督教教义定义的。

他们的母亲使用基于圣经世界观编写的教材在家里教导他们。全家人会定期参加位于埃尔卡洪（El Cajon）的影山教会（Shadow Mountain Church）的礼拜，那里的牧师会发表像最近一个周日那样的布道，祈求上帝利用其数千名信徒“以一种能让这个世界天翻地覆的方式”发挥作用。

“我们从小就被灌输这样一个观念：美国是上帝赐给世界的礼物，而且是人们真正生活在自由中的唯一地方，”她的哥哥普雷斯顿·哈普（Preston Harp）告诉《时报》。

几年后的 2019 年，哈普开始进入特朗普的社交圈。当时她出现在福克斯新闻（Fox News）中，将自己从一种罕见癌症中获救归功于特朗普签署成为法律的一项医疗保健法案——这个故事随后引起了总统的注意。

随着这段关系的建立，她成长过程中所处的加州家庭泡沫在幕后破裂，并在 2020 年 7 月以她父亲的自杀达到顶峰。一个月后，哈普在共和党全国委员会（Republican National Convention）上亮相，将自己介绍为一名“来自加州、曾经被遗忘的美国人”，并在会上宣布她对特朗普的忠诚。

在法国，可见加州火灾区的影子

气候变化带来了烧毁荒野与房屋的烈火

法国勒波尔日 —— 今年夏天，一朵由巨型火灾引发的雷雨云在波尔多上空盘踞，这是消防员首次在法国看到这种不祥的烟雾与闪电天气系统。

引发该现象的野火在 7 月导致超过 200,000 人撤离，并席卷了大西洋沿岸 162 平方英里的茂密松林。

在勒波尔日，这里是森林中心的一个小镇，伐木工与通勤往返于波尔多的邻居们共同生活，火灾在此烧毁了 183 栋房屋。

个性化定价被置于显微镜下

州立法者寻求阻止公司根据客户数据设定费用。

作者：奥德里·麦格林奇（AUDREY McGLINCHY）

2025年，一名纽约居民对捷蓝航空（JetBlue Airlines）提起诉讼。

该诉讼包含一张来自 X 的推文截图。在截图中，一名用户向捷蓝航空抱怨，他们正试图“赶往一场葬礼”，但机票价格在短短一天内上涨了 230 美元。一名捷蓝航空的代表回复了该推文，建议客户清除浏览器历史记录并重试。

诉讼指称，其假设是捷蓝航空正在利用客户的个人数据——从收入到最近的搜索历史等任何信息——来设定价格，其依据因素包括客户的财富、节俭或挥霍的消费习惯，以及他们可能迫切需要机票的迹象。这种做法通常被称为监控定价（surveillance pricing）或个性化定价（personalized pricing）。捷蓝航空否认使用该做法。

州级和联邦级的立法者及监管机构已对此关注。在人们日益担心企业如何设定价格之际，加利福尼亚州立法者正在讨论一项旨在禁止监控定价的法案。

但尽管一些定价专家对这些禁令表示支持，另一些人则认为立法者过于急于限制这种做法，他们认为这实际上可能会为消费者带来更低的价格。

第 2564 号议会法案（Assembly Bill 2564）的支持者对其通过的机会充满热情，尽管立法年度将于周一午夜结束。州众议院在 5 月批准了该法案的一个版本，州参议院定于周日对其进行审议。如果如支持者所愿获得通过，该法案将返回众议院，且仍有一整天的时间进行另一次投票。

谷歌正向电影制片厂推销其人工智能

这家科技巨头在试图打入好莱坞的过程中，一直在与高管们进行接触。

作者：温迪·李（Wendy Lee）

科技巨头谷歌（Google）一直在悄悄向各大制片厂发出邀请，试图寻找诱导好莱坞使用其人工智能技术的方法。

据三名熟悉相关对话但未获授权公开表态的人士透露，谷歌高管已接触了迪士尼（Disney）、环球（Universal）、华纳兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）以及其他制片厂的代表，讨论关于授权知识产权用于人工智能模型的问题。

尽管如此，目前尚未达成任何协议，部分原因是围绕人工智能的问题过于复杂，以及好莱坞人才和工会可能产生的反应较为敏感，消息人士表示。

“为了让谷歌的工具和技术能够真正用于大规模的电影和电视制作，更不用说电影院放映，其模型必须使用只有好莱坞制片厂才拥有的高度动态内容和元数据进行微调，”一名因讨论性质敏感而未获授权发表评论的业内人士说道。

这些对话凸显了双方各自面临的利害关系。谷歌在人工智能领域面临着来自竞争对手的巨大压力。而制片厂则面临着削减成本以及在电影和电视制作中寻找人工智能应用方法的压力，同时还要防止其知识产权被未经授权地使用。

尼泊尔提醒民众警惕新一轮洪水

作者：维多利亚·米尔科（VICTORIA MILKO） 以及 尼兰詹·什雷斯塔（NIRANJAN SHRESTHA）

尼泊尔，达丁（DHADING）—— 随着博特科希河（Bhotekoshi River）水位上涨，尼泊尔当局在周日发出警告，提醒可能出现新一轮洪水，并敦促受灾地区的居民保持高度警惕。

周日凌晨，洪水预警通知被发送至民众手机。与此同时，救援人员正努力清理一条连接尼泊尔加德满都与周三灾难性洪水最严重受灾地区的主要公路。此次洪水在尼泊尔和西藏造成至少 800 人死亡，超过 3,000 人失踪。

据尼泊尔国家减灾与管理署首席执行官达拉姆·拉杰·乌普雷蒂（Dharam Raj Uprety）称，最新的警告是在中国当局通知尼泊尔方面上游水量增加后发出的。

中国国家通讯社新华社援引该国水利部的话称，周三高山地区洪水形成的一个新湖泊已基本排空。

但新华社表示，该部门警告称，上游 3.5 英里处的一个坑穴（估计蓄水量 180 万 立方码）仍存在一定风险，需要密切监测。

尼泊尔灾害机构周日表示，死亡人数已升至 788 人，2,502 人失踪；而中国当局报告在边境中国一侧有 16 人死亡，546 人失踪。

由于墙壁被洪水冲走，人们正将阳台或窗框上的淤泥和碎石铲除。其他人则在地面上搜寻可以从泥泞中捡起并冲洗的物品。一名男子回来找他的鸡，发现它们还活着，于是将它们系好放在卡车的驾驶室里。

“一切都完了。什么都没留下。连我们的家也没有了，”达丁居民沙米拉·塔芒（Sharmila Tamang）在尝试从家中抢救物品时说道。

在一座受洪水严重损坏的关键电站，工作人员周日开始检查设施以评估破坏情况。该电站为四个地区的 20,000 多人提供电力。

在加尔奇（Galchhi）镇，一群居民在附近的一座桥上寻找高地，看着河水咆哮而过。有些人指向早前洪水冲刷而下的巨石，而站在一座吊桥上的人则被哨声警告离开。

失踪人员包括来自十几个国家的数百人，他们当时在该地区工作、游山玩水或前往神山朝圣。周日，中国官方媒体表示，西藏有 261 名外国人失踪，其中包括一百多名尼泊尔人和来自世界各地的其他人员。

沿着河流，可以看到房屋、车辆和农用拖拉机从厚厚的灰褐色沉积物中凸起，在某些地区，这些沉积物覆盖了整个村庄。河岸边的部分梯田在遭遇山体滑坡后掉入了河中。

洪水过后幸存的房屋和企业在周日依然没有电，扭曲的电线杆和电线在泥泞中纠缠在一起。

部分民众返回抢救残存财物

在尼泊尔受灾最严重的地区之一达丁，一些居民开始返回被毁的家中，看看还能抢救出什么。

受灾村庄的居民表示，他们难以应对自最初洪水以来几乎持续不断的警报。

居民们坐在家中

“有时他们说洪水要来了，然后我们必须再次跑向高地，即使在深夜。而且还在下雨，”一名居民戈温德·什雷斯塔（Govind Shreshta）说道。“对我来说真的很难。我有一个 72 岁的父亲和 70 岁的母亲。我必须背着他们，我已经精疲力竭了。对于那些还活着的人来说，情况就是这样。”

大型混凝土桥和小型吊桥被摧毁，导致河对岸的社区难以通行。

“那些在那里的人现在被困住了。那些

部长呼吁采取气候行动

周三的突发洪水始于喜马拉雅地区高海拔地带的一次冰川崩塌。研究卫星图像的科学家表示，冰川下方的基岩发生了坍塌，并带动部分冰川一同坠落。此次岩崩规模极其剧烈，其震级被记录为 5.2 级地震。

随后，岩石和融水导致下方山谷的河流水位暴涨，形成汹涌的水流，将西藏和尼泊尔下游的建筑物、桥梁和土壤冲走。

尼泊尔外交部长呼吁全球应对气候变化，并表示该国承担了不成比例的影响。

“尽管尼泊尔对全球排放的贡献仅为 0.1%，但尼泊尔人民却成为了气候变化的主要受害者，”希希尔·卡纳尔（Shisir Khanal）周六表示。

科学家表示，现在将全球变暖与周三的灾难直接联系起来还为时过早。然而，他们指出，由于燃烧石油、天然气和煤炭等人类活动导致地球温度升高，此类灾难发生的概率随之增加，尤其是在喜马拉雅山脉，该地区的升温速度明显快于世界许多其他地区。

美国恢复在霍尔木兹海峡的袭击

作者：KONSTANTIN TOROPIN, CARA ANNA 以及 BEN FINLEY

华盛顿 —— 美国军队周日袭击了位于霍尔木兹海峡的伊朗火箭发射器，这是其一个月来的首次军事行动，打破了这场持续六个多月的断断续续战争中的短暂平静。伊朗誓将对这次被其称为“致命袭击”的行为进行报复。

美国中央司令部发言人蒂姆·霍金斯（Tim Hawkins）表示，观察到革命卫队部队正准备向海峡发射携带海雷的火箭弹。美国军方上周完成了清除海峡国际航道海雷的工作。

伊朗的半官方新闻机构报道称，海峡内的拉拉克岛（Larak island）附近传出爆炸声。革命卫队在伊朗国家广播公司发布的一份声明中提到，“我们的几名战士和同胞英勇就义并受伤”。

伊朗媒体发布的一份声明中，发言人侯赛因·莫海比（Hossein Mohebi）将军表示，周日的袭击是“特朗普政权在经济战争期间犯下的致命错误”，敌人将在军事和经济上为此付出代价。

此次冲突发生在美国政府表示将把重点转向增加经济压力——而非军事行动——以试图结束与伊朗战争的几天之后。这一转变后的战略核心是威胁要惩罚任何继续与德黑兰进行贸易的国家或实体。

周日，财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）表示，政府计划本周对另一家银行实施制裁，以期严厉打击伊朗的交易。

贝森特在北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔（Asheville）举行的二十国集团（G20）会议前接受了美联社采访。他将在那里与全球主要经济体及发展中经济体的同行分别会面，鼓励他们参与对伊朗的经济孤立。

“如果有必要，这将是金融暴力，”贝森特说道。

转向使用制裁之际，政府正在权衡经过六个月战争后减少的弹药储备，这引发了人们的担忧，认为旷日持久的冲突可能会削弱美国在全球其他地区的军事准备状态。

随着冲突的僵持，特朗普总统关于快速结束战争的言论似乎也在逐渐消退。他上周强调，他“并不急于”让伊朗回到谈判桌前，并继续主张伊斯兰共和国的领导层已陷入困境。

然而，上个月伊朗高级安全领导层的任命表明，在经历了数十年的制裁以及国内对异见零容忍之后，德黑兰依然态度强硬。

伊朗还通过在至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡发动袭击找到了筹码，这条关键的能源水道通常承载着全球 $20\%$ 的石油流量。

特朗普多次宣布“霍尔木兹海峡是开放的”，并称上周有 24 艘船只通过。但这仅是战争开始前每天通过该水道的大约 130 艘船只的一小部分。

冰岛人否决重启加入欧盟谈判计划

作者：KWIYEON HA 和 BRIAN MELLEY

冰岛，雷克雅未克 —— 据国家广播公司周日报道，在一次将地缘政治稳定性担忧与维持冰岛珍贵渔业国家控制权相对立的全民公投中，冰岛选民否决了在之前的谈判结束十多年后重启加入欧盟谈判的计划。

据 RUV 报道，反对者以 52.8% 对 47.2% 的优势击败了该提案。在拥有 400,000 人的这个岛国中，首都雷克雅未克是唯一一个多数支持该公投的地区。

周六的投票是在特朗普总统多次威胁要夺取附近格陵兰岛控制权的阴影下举行的。尽管冰岛是北约成员国，但支持者表示，如果特朗普对这个火山岛提出类似的威胁，欧洲的团结将提供更大的保护。

冰岛于 2024 年选出的左翼联合政府将原计划于明年举行的欧盟公投提前，原因是特朗普在谈到他对格陵兰岛的构想时，误将冰岛提及了四次。

为该提案奔走支持的总理克里斯特伦·弗罗斯塔多蒂尔（Kristrún Frostadottir）表示，她希望结果不会导致国家分裂。

在最终结果统计出炉前，她告诉 RUV：“我不觉得存在怨恨。我知道有些人的情绪很高涨，但我现在与来自全国各地的很大一群人共处，人们对不同的结果相当开放。”

选民面对的是一个简单的“是”或“否”的问题：冰岛是否应该恢复与欧盟的入盟谈判？

投票率很高，在 270,000 名合资格选民中，有超过 82% 参与了投票。

整夜的计票让全国处于紧张状态，因为“赞成”阵营在早期处于领先，随后结果转向有利于反对派。到黎明时分，两派之间仅有几百票的差距，随后随着该国反对派占主导地区更多选票的统计，差距进一步扩大。

“现在不是离开的时候。也许 10, 15, 20 年或更久之后，我们可以再次审视，”投票反对该提案的丹尼尔·比雅克森（Daniel Bjarkason）说道，“但目前我们太分裂了，这看起来并不好，因为如果我们决定这么做，应该是 70-30 的‘赞成’。”

具有影响力的渔业在公投中领导了反对活动，因为他们担心欧盟的共同渔业政策会将其海域向西班牙、荷兰和其他国家的拖网渔船开放。

这些维京人的后裔在 1944 年从丹麦赢得独立，几个世纪以来一直依赖海洋生存，渔业是冰岛国家认同的核心。冰岛有着拒绝被欧洲更大、更富有的国家摆布的自豪历史，曾在 20 世纪 70 年代就控制海域的权利与英国赢得了所谓的“鳕鱼战争”。

反对者还集结在这样一个事实周围：冰岛已经在享受欧盟无摩擦单一市场和申根自由旅行区的好处，而无需做出成为正式成员所带来的主权妥协。他们认为，冰岛的声音在庞大的欧洲议会中将被淹没，而且自行签署贸易协定（例如与中国的协定）会更好。

支持者则表示，加入欧盟将降低通货膨胀率和利率，且欧元将比冰岛波动剧烈的克朗带来更多稳定性。他们还表示，为了应对气候变化等不分国界的问题，与欧洲邻国建立更紧密的关系符合国家利益。

冰岛本可以相对快速地加入该集团。克罗地亚是最后一个加入的国家，时间是在 2013 年。

加州山火危机在法国引发共鸣

[法国，接 A1 页]

教堂。60 岁的戴恩（Dine）已经在计划重建。

“在森林里这样建筑并没有什么不合理之处，”戴恩说。“并不是每个人都想住在城市里，所以住在森林里完全没问题。”

专家表示，现在已经不再那么没问题了，除非法国改变其森林管理方式，并限制郊区向农村深处扩张。

今年夏天，法国、希腊和西班牙发生了多起山火，其中几起导致人员死亡。随着欧洲人思考一个加州人再熟悉不过的问题，这些火灾引发了一次痛苦的反思：他们是否因为在野外地带建设过多，从而危及了城市和郊区？

在过去的十年中，葡萄牙里斯本、意大利米兰以及其他欧洲城市的边缘地带已有数百栋房屋被焚毁；今年夏天，马德里和雅典郊外也有数十栋房屋被毁。

在波尔多地区，航空航天和技术岗位、绝佳的海滩以及适中的房价每年吸引着 20,000 名新居民，而郊区的扩张已深入松林之中，挑战着在火灾高风险区建设的极限。

法国长期习惯于大西洋和地中海干旱地带的山火，但勒波尔日（Le Porge）的毁灭性灾难达成了一个罕见的共识：其防火安全系统不足以应对气候变化带来的特大火灾。

该如何应对这一点已然明确。但代价由谁承担？

政治领导者在木材工业、消防员工会、企业以及被威胁规模震惊的公众之间，承受着相互冲突的压力。

在火灾更频发的加利福尼亚州，这场戏码在几十年前就已上演。然而，法国面临的挑战在许多方面与加州相同——最根本的问题是，在火灾风险远超一代人之前的常态的情况下，如何在一个更炎热、更不稳定的气候中生存。

: :

在波尔多与大西洋沿岸的一排壮丽沙丘之间，坐落着法国最大的一片森林，其规模远超阿尔卑斯山脉或比利牛斯山脉中的任何森林。而这片森林几乎完全是人工造林。

几个世纪以来，这里曾是一片巨大的沼泽，蚊虫在牧羊人之间传播着疟疾。

随后在 1857 年，拿破仑三世皇帝下令种植海滨松，以排干法国西南部的沼泽。这些树木能够吸收大量水分，在沙质土壤中茁壮成长，并减缓海岸侵蚀。

这些松树同时也让地主和波尔多的资产阶级获利：艰苦的养羊文化让位于蓬勃发展的木材、造纸和树脂工业。

据政府数据显示，这片名为“加斯科涅兰德”（Landes de Gascogne）的森林目前雇佣了超过 40,000 人，每年产生 100 亿美元 billion 的产值。

在过去的二十年里，森林周边地区发展迅速：波尔多周边新建了 200,000 栋住宅。制造火箭、飞机和武器的工程师及技术人员岗位吸引了远方家庭迁入。

乘坐高铁仅需两小时即可抵达的富裕巴黎人，一直在购买度假屋和养老房。每到夏天，海滩上便挤满了人。

波尔多的城市扩张逐渐延伸到了法国一些最著名的葡萄园起伏丘陵中——北至梅多克（Médoc），东至两河之间（Entre-Deux-Mers），南至佩萨克-莱欧尼昂（Pessac-Léognan）。

但在城市的西侧，当郊区与沿海松林融合在一起的地方，火灾风险激增。

对于勒波尔日（Le Porge）附近造纸小镇比加诺（Biganos）的市长布鲁诺·拉丰（Bruno Lafon）来说，加利福尼亚州频发的火灾灾难起到了警示作用。

他市长办公室的一面墙上贴着当地松林的航拍照片。他眯起眼睛看着照片，先是指向保护他所在城镇的宽阔防火带，然后指向一群直接建在树林中的房屋，就像那些在勒波尔日被焚毁的房屋一样。

“我们称之为‘加州风格’，”曾骑摩托车游历加利福尼亚州的拉丰说道，“这不是个好主意。”

加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）城市规划与公共政策教授帕沃·蒙科宁（Paavo Monkkonen）表示，法国在减缓野地开发方面实际上采取了“相当强硬”的措施，但并非每个地区都执行得很好。他在 2025 年完成了在巴黎的一项研究员项目。

“这很令人沮丧，”他说，“你走进这些美丽的古老城市，然后走到郊外，感觉就像在说：‘噢不，这看起来就像是一个更可爱版本的加州郊区。’”

:

1949年8月的大火是法国有记录以来规模最大的一次，它席卷了与今年夏天大部分相同的地形。这场大火摧毁了200平方英里的树木，导致82人死亡，其中主要是被困在烈火

乔埃尔·凯里尔（JOELLE KERRIER，从左上角起顺时针方向），在法国勒波尔日（Le Porge）视察她被烧毁的房产；一家松脂蒸馏厂的内部，这是许多依赖森林生存的企业之一；官员估计，波尔多附近将需要清理多达500万吨的过火木材；埃米莉·洛佩斯（Emilie Lopes）在救济中心分拣捐赠的食物；勒波尔日附近的一处航拍图，那里有183栋房屋被毁。

与反向火（backfire）之间。

黑白新闻片段显示，志愿者消防员用树枝拍打火焰，并用花盆浇水壶扑灭局部火点。

在随后的政治风暴中，法国建立了一套预防和扑灭其最大森林火灾的系统。该系统至今仍在运行，由一项针对松林所有者的税收提供资金。他们与公共消防机构合作运行该系统。

他们维护着瞭望塔、水站以及松林间战略性的清理地带，这些地带通常宽55码。

但在今年这个极端高温和干旱的夏天，同样是松树种植者且负责监督防火系统的拉丰（Lafon）意识到，该系统已经达到了崩溃点。

“我们无法像以前那样生活在这片森林里了，因为人口增加了，风险增加了，而且气候已经改变了，”他说。

全球变暖对欧洲的影响比其他任何大洲都更严重：根据欧盟气候数据机构哥白尼（Copernicus）的数据，欧洲的平均气温目前比工业化前水平高出4.5华氏度。而全球平均升温幅度为2.5华氏度。

在法国，6月和7月是该国气象局记录以来最热的月份。一年之内，山火烧毁的法国土地面积从未如此之多，其中没有一场比焚毁勒波尔日大部分地区的这场大火规模更大。

: :

7月22日正午，据信一台碎木机的火花引发了林火。

在起火后的第一个小时里，松树林主敦促消防指挥官在距离勒波尔日（Le Porge）几百码的地方点燃反向火（backfire）。他们愤怒地认为，这项操作直到12小时后才被执行。

“火势本可以很快被扑灭的，”失去了三分之二松树林的迪迪埃·德雷斯（Didier Deyres）说道。

和镇上的许多人一样，德雷斯怀疑地区消防指挥官为了拯救附近卡费雷（Cap Ferret）沙嘴半岛上的富人住宅而牺牲了勒波尔日：“我不怕说出来：我们被抛弃了。”

勒波尔日市长马蒂亚尔·扎尼内蒂（Martial Zaninetti）表示，这种指控可以理解，但“不一定是事实”。消防指挥官对此予以否认。

村里的教堂、市政厅、超市和学校以及附近的房屋得以幸存。但沿林区道路分布的整排房屋被烧成了灰烬。扎尼内蒂是幸运儿之一。

“我当了整整一天的消防员，”他在几天后说道，“我们用花园水管救了三栋房子。”

玛丽（Marie）和萨缪尔·拉图拉特-布尼（Samuel Raturat Bouny）夫妇在海滩附近经营一家冲浪店，他们在勒波尔日的房子里住了六年。当他们得知房子被毁时，他们正在比利牛斯山脉度假。

“我把对我真正有意义的东西放在一个盒子里——一些祖母写的诗，以及曾祖父在战争期间写的信，”玛丽说道，此时夫妇俩的孩子，10岁的莉卢（Lilou）和6岁的诺亚（Noa）在焦黑的土地上攀爬。“我没能把它们拿回来。没有什么能让它们回来。”

在回到勒波尔日的残骸几天后，大约100名居民聚集在村广场一棵大树的阴凉处，向从法属波利尼西亚飞往波尔多协助灭火的20名消防员表达感激。市长给他们每人赠送了一棵松树幼苗。

波利尼西亚消防员身着蓝色制服，在两人的尤克里里伴奏下和谐地唱起一首塔希提赞美诗，人群在沉默中聆听。曲调进行到一半时，教堂的钟声响起。歌曲结束时，镇民们鼓掌整整两分钟。

十天后，村民们再次填满了广场。这一次，他们大声地对法国总理勒科尔纽（Sébastien Lecornu）发出嘘声，当时勒科尔纽正与勒波尔日市长进行私人会晤。

在法国预算紧缩的时代，目前该国大部分地区的呼声是增加支出以扩大消防员队伍并购买更多设备——飞机、卡车，以及任何必要的物资。

国家消防员联合会发言人埃里克·布罗卡尔迪（Eric Brocardi）提醒 TF1 电视台的观众，法国不得不请求澳大利亚派遣奇努克（Chinook）和贝尔（Bell）直升机， “因为在那边，他们习惯于应对特大火灾（megafires）”。

“我们面临的挑战在规模上已经发生了变化，”他说，“气候紊乱必须促使我们在设备和资源方面也随之改变规模。”

加利福尼亚州已花费数十亿美元购置先进的消防技术并招募专业消防员。其州消防部门——林业与消防保护局，运行着全球规模最大的民用消防航空队。

但这并未能阻止诸如2018年塞拉山麓火灾等灾难，那场火灾摧毁了天堂镇（Paradise）并导致85人死亡。也未能阻止2025年阿尔塔迪纳（Altadena）和太平洋帕利塞德（Pacific Palisades）的火灾，导致31人死亡，并烧毁了16,000多栋房屋及其他建筑。

尽管加利福尼亚州在保护火灾区域人员方面取得了诸多进展，但它在很大程度上避开了一个更深层的问题：人们最初是否应该被允许在这些地方建筑？

在大多数情况下，加利福尼亚州拒绝篡夺地方政府决定建筑选址的权力，这导致了野外地区的持续开发。

与此同时，该州试图鼓励在城市中心建设房屋；而那些会增加郊区扩张的项目则需要经过更严格的环境审查。

在法国，一项 2021 年出台的气候韧性法案旨在减缓森林和开放农村土地的开发。立法者在 2023 年削弱了该法案，但法国依然取得了进展。

一项近期研究发现，在巴黎、图卢兹和马赛周边，旨在遏制郊区扩张并促进市中心新建住房的当地政策，已经减缓了外围郊区的扩张。

领导该研究的巴黎城市规划学院教授克莱尔·阿拉高（Claire Aragau）表示，波尔多地区也减缓了农村建筑的增长，但松林带来的火灾风险依然极高。她表示，在潮湿的春季，林下植被茂盛，一旦 6 月份热浪袭来，便留下了巨大的易燃层。

索邦大学地理学家亚瑟·盖兰-图尔克（Arthur Guerin-Turcq）表示，为了避免未来的灾难，波尔多郊外的森林必须进行疏伐，并拓宽防火隔离带。他的家人在勒波尔日（Le Porge）附近种植松树。

“夏天把这一切都变成了稻草——变成了火炬，”她说道。

他表示，需要在松树之间种植水分充足的植被，并且在每个城镇的外缘需要建立更大的防火缓冲带，例如球场或牲畜牧场。

但这些措施要求树主缩小林地规模并放弃收入，因此一些专家对总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）关于“重新种植并重建一片不同的森林”的承诺持怀疑态度。

“只有在土地管理中发挥积极作用的国家才能做到这一点，因为森林自身的代表不会自发去做，”盖兰-图尔克说。“他们只会做最低限度的努力。”

至于基础防火，在某些衡量标准上，法国落后于加利福尼亚州。虽然全国范围内都要求清理灌木，但当地消防部门很少催促业主执行。

“清理灌木的规定自 20 世纪 50 年代起就已实施，但执行力度非常、非常低，”波大学教授克里斯汀·布瓦塞（Christine Bouisset）说道，她研究过郊区与农村交界处的火灾风险。

在欧洲其他地区，情况更糟。布瓦塞表示，例如希腊，“在某些地区存在真正的无政府状态开发，有大量非法建筑”。

对于勒波尔日市长扎尼内蒂（Zaninetti）来说，采取保护公众免受特大火灾侵害的必要措施，不可避免地将成为一场政治噩梦。

但他表示，这件事必须去做，因为欧洲的气候已经改变了。

“它不是在我们的门前，”他说。“它已经进门了。”

特朗普对加拿大征收新关税引发法律质疑

华盛顿 —— 在挑起与加拿大的贸易战时，特朗普总统启用了一项已有 96 年历史的法规，该法规如此冷门，以至于许多贸易律师甚至不知道它仍然有效。

特朗普于 8 月 24 日援引 1930 年《关税法》第 338 条，对价值 200 亿美元的加拿大进口商品征收 50% 的税。此举引发了渥太华方面等额的报复，并使这对邻国及长期盟友之间本已紧张的关系进一步恶化。

总统根据第 338 条拥有的关税权力从未被使用过，更不用说在法庭上接受检验了。“这部法律简直是一块空白画布，因为它从未被诉至法院，”金与斯波尔丁（King & Spalding）律师事务所合伙人、前美国贸易官员瑞安·马杰鲁斯（Ryan Majerus）表示。

因此，目前尚不清楚特朗普最新的加拿大关税能否在法律挑战中幸存，一些律师认为，这部大萧条时期的法律已被更近期的贸易法所取代。

总统启用长期沉睡的法案

为了制裁加拿大在今年夏天涉嫌歧视美国乳制品、汽车和酒精饮料出口的行为，特朗普政府追溯到了大萧条时期。

这部 1930 年的关税立法以其国会发起者的名字被命名为《斯穆特-霍利关税法》（Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act）。在当时美国和世界经济崩溃的情况下，国会提高了数百种进口商品的关税，试图保护美国农民和制造商。

在经济学家和历史学家看来，这些关税因导致全球贸易停滞并加剧了大萧条而臭名昭著。（而自豪地称自己为“关税人”的特朗普则持有不同观点，他认为斯穆特-霍利税收只是来得太晚，未能挽救美国经济。）

除了提高关税外，1930 年的立法者还赋予了总统自行征收关税的新权力：第 338 条授权总统可以对歧视美国企业的国家征收最高 50% 的进口关税。

在特朗普之前，没有一位总统真正使用过该法规。

“直到特朗普的第二个任期，很少有贸易律师意识到第 338 条仍然有效，或者理解它的作用，”乔治城大学的法律学者彼得·哈雷尔（Peter Harrell）和詹妮弗·希尔曼（Jennifer Hillman）本月在自由意志主义杂志《理性》（Reason）上写道。

他们引用国务院记录显示，美国曾在贸易争端中考虑使用第 338 条 —— 1932 年针对西班牙，以及 1949 年针对新成立的共产主义中国 —— 但从未付诸实施。大萧条之后，美国政策更多地侧重于通过谈判而非制裁来开放外国市场。

因此，第 338 条在法典中被遗忘并逐渐腐朽。

其他美国贸易法发挥作用

随着时间的推移，美国通过了新的贸易法。其中一些法律将原本由宪法授予国会的关税权力让渡给了总统。但新法律也将总统的权力限制在特定情况下 —— 包括应对国家安全威胁和外汇危机 —— 并要求政府事先进行调查并满足其他程序要求。

“有一个非常有力的论点认为 [第 338 条] 已被取代，”自由正义中心（Liberty Justice Center）首席执行官萨拉·阿尔布雷希特（Sara Albrecht）表示。该自由意志主义倡导组织曾代表企业在最高法院成功挑战早期的特朗普关税。

阿尔布雷希特质疑，如果国会希望总统保留第 338 条的权力，那么立法者为什么要通过 1962 年的《贸易扩张法》（允许征收国家安全关税）以及 1974 年的《贸易法》（赋予总统打击其他国家不公平贸易行为的权力）？

加拿大保护其乳制品市场

法律专家认为 338 条款关税还存在其他漏洞。

例如，哈雷尔（Harrell）和希尔曼（Hillman）在《理性》（Reason）杂志中写道，338 条款仅授权征收旨在“抵消”外国贸易惯例给美国公司造成损害的关税。但他们指出，在针对加拿大的行动中，特朗普政府并未尝试计算因歧视美国农民、汽车制造商和酒精饮料营销商而产生的损害金额。而且，美国还针对了与这些争议领域无关的加拿大进口商品，包括曲棍球棒和水泥。

哈雷尔和希尔曼还表示，加拿大对其乳制品市场的保护并非专门针对美国农民进行歧视；这些规则同样适用于加拿大的许多其他贸易伙伴。

此外，美国在特朗普首任期内与加拿大和墨西哥谈判的一项北美贸易协定中，已经同意了加拿大的这套体系——即加拿大对超过配额的乳制品进口征收高额关税。哈雷尔和希尔曼写道，美国现在将自己曾经同意的条款谴责为歧视性，这“往轻了说，是极其矛盾的”。

但美国贸易代表办公室前总法律顾问约翰·维罗诺（John Veroneau）表示，338 条款关税非常简单直接：当另一个国家对美国进口商品的征税高于其对其他国家进口商品的征税，从而产生歧视时，这种关税就是合理的。

维罗诺表示，一个“反讽的悖论”是，加拿大在去年应对特朗普对加拿大产品征收的关税时，采取了对美国进口商品征收报复性关税的措施，这恰恰做了上述行为。缅因大学法学院兼职教授维罗诺说：“面对任何挑战，法院将理所当然地感到有义务[判定]：法定要求是否得到满足，无论更广泛的背景多么荒谬。”

到目前为止，原告难以寻找

特朗普实施其保护主义议程的其他工具已经在法庭上受挫。最高法院在 2 月份否决了他最大胆的尝试：即援引 1977 年的一项国家安全法，在去年对地球上几乎所有国家征收两位数的关税。

当特朗普试图用一套新关税来弥补因最高法院判决而损失的收入时，纽约的一家专门贸易法院也拒绝了这些关税——尽管在案件通过法院系统审理期间，政府被允许继续收取进口税。

目前还没有人提起诉讼挑战 338 条款关税。自由正义中心（Liberty Justice Center）一直在寻找愿意就这些征税起诉政府的企业。

“我没有收到太多原告的响应，”阿尔布雷希特（Albrecht）说。“任何时候你想起诉政府，这都是一件困难的事。”

针对加拿大的 338 条款关税规模也小得多——仅占加拿大进口额的 5%——低于特朗普 2025 年的全球关税，这意味着需要缴纳这些关税的公司较少，能够声称受到损害的公司也较少。

阿尔布雷希特还表示，两国有可能恢复此前中断的谈判，并达成妥协以结束这场双方都不想要的僵局。“我希望有人会退让，他们能达成某种协议，然后这一切都随之消失，”她说。

极右翼挑衅者在被 ICE 逮捕后被遣返回英国

作者：戴夫·柯林斯（DAVE COLLINS）

英国极右翼评论员米洛·亚诺普洛斯（Milo Yiannopoulos）在被美国移民当局逮捕后，已被遣返回英国。

美国国土安全部周六表示，亚诺普洛斯已于周五被送回原籍国；他被指控在 2019. 5 月合法进入美国后逾期滞留。一名国土安全部发言人表示，由于他未能出席移民听证会，一名移民法官于 7 月 22 发布了最终的驱逐令。

亚诺普洛斯周四在路易斯安那州的路易斯·阿姆斯特朗新奥尔良国际机场被捕，并被移民与海关执法局（ICE）拘留。

“他选择违反我国法律，逾期滞留，”一名国土安全部发言人在一份声明中表示。

亚诺普洛斯及其代表未回应置评请求，且他自周四以来未在 X 上发布任何内容。

亚诺普洛斯是著名的保守主义事业拥护者，经常在公开场合采取挑衅立场，批评女权主义、伊斯兰教和移民。他尤其支持特朗普总统针对非法入境者的激进移民执法政策。

“未来 20 年零移民。没有任何如果，没有任何但是，”亚诺普洛斯去年在 X 上写道。

JULIO CORTEZ Associated Press 米洛·亚诺普洛斯（MILO Yiannopoulos）， 照片拍摄于 2021, 被指控 签证逾期滞留。

他的被捕和被遣返正值特朗普移民打击行动导致全国范围内拘留人数上升之际。

在社交媒体帖子中，国土安全部宣扬了亚诺普洛斯的被捕，并发布了他的入狱登记照片。该部门补充称，鼓励非法滞留人员自愿离开，并表示美国提供“$3,000 和一张免费机票用于自我遣返”。

“我们鼓励每一位非法滞留在此的人利用这次机会，保留以后以正确合法的方式回到美国实现美国梦的机会。否则，你将被逮捕并遣返，且没有机会返回，”该部门表示。

罗曼空间望远镜升空

周日，一枚搭载该望远镜的 SpaceX 火箭从佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角起飞。

该天文台将利用 JPL 的技术寻找与地球相似的行星。

作者：NOAH HAGGERTY

美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的南希·格雷斯·罗曼空间望远镜（Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope）——一个价值 43亿美元、与哈勃和詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜齐名的“姐妹”项目——于周日上午搭载 SpaceX 火箭发射升空，全球的太空爱好者和科学家共同见证了这一时刻。

一旦全面投入运行，该天文台预计将极大地扩充科学家对太阳系外行星的记录，将其从约 6,300. 颗增加到 100,000 颗以上。科学家旨在利用由 NASA 位于拉卡尼亚弗林特里奇（La Cañada Flintridge）的喷气推进实验室（JPL）制造的一台尖端仪器来寻找其中一部分行星。

“这有点像孩子去上大学，”JPL 负责该行星猎手（被称为日冕仪）的仪器科学家瓦妮莎·贝利（Vanessa Bailey）说道，“你习惯了它在身边，想什么时候看就什么时候看，而现在，它已经走向世界了。”

罗曼望远镜还将完成对天空的详细普查，以帮助物理学家更好地理解将宇宙拉在一起的“暗物质”以及将其推开的“暗能量”。

加州理工学院（Caltech）将在管理罗曼望远镜的科学运行方面发挥主导作用。

搭载罗曼望远镜的 SpaceX “猎鹰重型”（Falcon Heavy）火箭于太平洋时间凌晨 4:26 a.m. 从佛罗里达州的 NASA 肯尼迪航天中心起飞。随着火箭在太空海岸轰鸣而过，在场的 JPL 科学家和工程师们紧张的情绪转化为一种宣泄。

“在倒计时的时候，我的双手紧紧抓着栏杆，指关节都发白了——然后，当它升空时，泪水就夺眶而出，”研究暗物质和暗能量的 JPL 研究科学家艾琳娜·基斯林（Alina Kiessling）说道。

她与丈夫、JPL 罗曼项目科学家杰森·罗兹（Jason Rhodes）一起在航天中心观看。发射后不久，他们住在附近 Airbnb 的保姆分享了一段视频，视频中他们 5 和 1, 岁的两个孩子也在观看。

火箭在发射约 31 分钟后成功部署了这台重 18,000 磅的望远镜。随后，罗曼望远镜展开了其太阳能电池阵列和遮阳罩，用于为航天器供电并保持其敏感仪器的低温。

虽然 JPL 的成员们已经在计划庆祝活动，但罗曼日冕仪项目经理赵峰（Feng Zhao）表示，团队在“短期内”无法真正放松。

在接下来的三个月里，罗曼望远镜将部署天线、调整航向，并启动其两台仪器：JPL 的行星猎手和一台名为“宽场仪器”（Wide Field Instrument）的夜空普查仪。

罗曼望远镜的最终目的地与詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜所在的同一个宇宙“停车场”相同：距离地球 100 万英里，远在月球之外。在这个位置，地球和太阳的引力创造了一个稳定点，使航天器能够更好地节省燃料。

赵峰表示，随后就是进行一些“非常酷的科学研究”的时间了。

一旦投入运行，日冕仪仪器将尝试观测亮度比其宿主恒星暗 1 亿 倍的行星，这比詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜有了显著提升。为了实现这一点，该仪器可以用近原子级的精度操纵一面柔性镜，将明亮的星光聚焦成一个针尖大小的点，然后用掩模将其遮挡，从而观测暗淡的行星。

这些观测结果将为一项具有远大目标的未来任务提供参考——“宜居世界天文台”（Habitable Worlds Observatory），该任务旨在观测亮度比宿主恒星暗 10 亿美元 倍以上的类地行星。

宽场仪器将专注于以哈勃望远镜般的清晰度观测夜空，但覆盖的区域将远大于那座拥有 36 年历史的天文台。通过此仪器，科学家希望更好地理解暗物质和暗能量，它们虽然不可见，但构成了宇宙的 95%。

[...OMITTED...]

科学家们目前尚不清楚暗物质是由潜伏在空间各处的古老黑洞、尚未被发现的沉重且缓慢的粒子，还是未知的更轻且更快的粒子组成的。不同的理论对于暗物质应如何聚集提供了不同的答案。通过观察暗物质的引力如何弯曲星系的光线，罗曼（Roman）将能够测量这种聚集情况。

至于暗能量，科学家长期以来认为其强度在整个宇宙历史中保持不变。然而，最近的观测表明它正在减弱——这可能会危及爱因斯坦迄今为止完美无瑕的广义相对论，并使关于宇宙将如何终结的主流描述受到质疑。

科学家希望，罗曼的观测结果在与其他尖端空间和地面望远镜相结合后，将有助于确定暗能量是否恒定，或者最近的测量结果是否指向我们对宇宙理解中更深层次的问题。

美国国家航空航天局（NASA）预计，该望远镜的首批图像将于 2027 年初传回。

“做这样的事情——将一台望远镜发射到太空中以揭开宇宙的奥秘——这是人类最优秀的一面。这是我们作为一个物种所能追求的目标，”罗兹（Rhodes）在发射后不久表示。“所以，我感到无比激动。”

助手极少离开特朗普身边，被其称为“守护者”

哈普在20多岁时住在欧文市规划完善的伍德布里奇（Woodbridge）社区。

[接 A1 页哈普报道]

“并不适合你，”她说。

现在，她的日常工作是担任特朗普的特别助手。在一些极具私人色彩的信件中，她将特朗普描述为她的“守护者和保护者”。在这些由《每日野兽》（Daily Beast）公布的信件中，她感谢总统“一直陪伴”在身边，并提到在失去父亲后，特朗普向她许下的一个“承诺”。

哈普这份由纳税人资助的工作让她拥有与总统接触的绝佳机会，但大部分工作是在公众视野之外进行的。她被地称为“人体打印机”，因为她随身携带一台便携式打印机跟随特朗普，为这位厌恶电脑的总统提供赞美他的新闻报道硬拷贝或他所需的信息。

据《纽约时报》报道，她还经常与总统一起熬夜起草社交媒体帖子。近几个月来，特朗普的几篇社交媒体帖子引发了争议，其中包括一张 AI 生成的图像，画面中他身着白色长袍化身为耶稣，正将手放在一名病人的身上。

认识她的人将她描述为注重细节且“对事业忠诚的工作人员”，她的紧密社交圈包括那些最亲近特朗普的人，例如特朗普的办公厅主任苏西·威尔斯（Susie Wiles）和白宫前新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）。

“就像许多政府官员一样，你会和同事成为朋友，”来自佛罗里达州的共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜（Anna Paulina Luna）在一次采访中表示，她每周都会与哈普交谈。

卢娜表示，哈普“几乎总是”与威尔斯在一起。这位国会议员补充说，哈普与总统的关系是“100%专业”的，任何相反的暗示都是在试图抹黑她。

“她在工作中表现得极其专业，且执行力极强，”卢娜说，“我非常渴望团队中能有像她这样的人。”

在她的哥哥看来，哈普融入特朗普的核心圈子与其成长背景相符。

“我母亲把我们培养成了超级保守主义者，而他正是母亲教导我们要尊敬的所有特质的化身，”他说。

白宫拒绝置评。

特朗普世界中的一名加州原住民

哈普的哥哥表示，在圣迭戈卡梅尔谷（Carmel Valley）社区度过童年时，哈普喜欢玩老式娃娃，并且花大量时间阅读。在学校教育方面，他们的母亲采用了鲍勃·琼斯大学出版社（Bob Jones University Press）的课程，根据该出版社网站的介绍，其教材侧重于“塑造圣经世界观”。

该网站声明：“我们将上帝的真理作为标准。圣经是我们编写教科书的蓝图，因此每一课都始于真理。”

她的哥哥回忆道，在成长过程中，哈普大部分时间都与成年人在一起，尤其是她的母亲，很少与同龄人社交。即使在教堂，她也会选择坐在成年人中间，而不是与青年组一起活动。

“那时会有像滑板演示之类很酷的活动，但我姐姐就一直和大人待在一起，而且她更喜欢那样，”他说。

哈普和她的哥哥在幼年时关系亲密，但随着年龄增长而渐行渐远。他说，普雷斯顿·哈普（Preston Harp）通过与朋友一起玩滑板和冲浪找到了发泄口，而他的姐姐则选择留在家里。

她的哥哥回忆道，在某个时间点，他们的母亲开始监管他们的讨论，尤其是当他开始支持更多进步主义观点时。

“我基本上不被允许进入她的生活，”他说。“如果我们打电话，我母亲会监听我们说的每一句话，她们两人在通话，而我被放在免提电话中。”

哈普通过向白宫发送的请求拒绝就本文发表评论。她的母亲未回应寻求评论的电话。

在 20 岁出头时，哈普随父母搬到了欧文（Irvine），以便靠近父亲在比奥拉大学（Biola University）的工作地点。比奥拉大学是一所位于洛杉矶东南部拉米拉达（La Mirada）的私立基督教机构。根据该大学的资料，罗伯特·哈普（Robert Harp）曾在商学院担任教授，后来担任创新办公室的执行主任。

这家人住在欧文伍德布里奇（Woodbridge）社区一座靠近人工湖的房子里，这是一个以宁静、家庭友好氛围著称的规划社区。

她的哥哥说，欧文和卡梅尔谷都像是与外界问题隔绝的孤岛，在这些地方，即使事情并不完美，一切看起来也可能很完美。

“我妈喜欢住在泡沫里，”他说。

在全家搬迁后的几年内，即 2020 年 7 月，61 岁的罗伯特·哈普在家中自杀身亡。普雷斯顿·哈普说，当他到达房子时，他的母亲希望他配合一个说法，即他们的父亲是在睡眠中去世的。他说，他拒绝了，因为他不想为了维持体面而淡化父亲的痛苦。这成为了家庭内部巨大裂痕的开始。

“那是我最后一次和我姐姐说话，”他说。

登上国家舞台

哈普在公开场合很少谈论她的成长经历。不过，她详细讲述了自己从20多岁开始经历的医疗问题。

在2020年共和党全国代表大会的发言中，她表示自己在五年前曾是“一次臭名昭著的致命医疗错误”的受害者。

“我幸存了下来，但随后被诊断出患有一种罕见且绝症的骨癌，”她说。

她表示自己被诊断为2期骨癌。正是这次经历激发了她进入政治领域的兴趣。

“我只是想好起来，”她在节目中说道。“我开始第一次关注政治，因为我以前从未有过（真正代表我的）代表。我所有的代表都是民主党人，所以我当时想，我为什么要关心政治？”

她说，两轮化疗没有起作用，而且她被临床试验拒绝了。但在2018年，特朗普签署了《尝试权法案》（Right to Try Act），该法案允许绝症患者使用某些尚未获得美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）全面批准的实验性药物和免疫疗法。

“多亏了特朗普总统，我不再死于癌症，而是在与癌症共存，”哈普在节目中表示。

白宫没有回应就她所接受的治疗而提出的置评请求。

特朗普的前副新闻秘书萨拉·马修斯（Sarah Matthews）表示，在特朗普2020年的连任竞选期间，哈普的角色是宣传《尝试权法案》。

“我记得我们会通过Twitter私信联系，她看起来非常兴奋，想以任何方式提供帮助，”马修斯说。她说，当时看来哈普正试图与工作人员建立联系。

“我的职责不一定会与她接触，但……我能感觉到她正试图发起某种联系，”她说。

虽然不清楚团队中是谁发现了哈普，但马修斯说她对帮助竞选“非常渴望”。

“他们找到了这个女人，她雄辩、口才好，具备所有这些条件，但在我看来，她就是非常想成为‘特朗普世界’的一员，”马修斯说。

在私密信件中，哈普解释了她对这位80岁总统的忠诚。

在其中一封信中，她写道自己“不配”拥有特朗普，并回忆起他在她从事“脱口秀时期”给她打电话的时光——这指的是她在2021年期间在右翼的一美新闻（One America News）频道主持《与娜塔莉·哈普共话真实故事》（The Real Story with Natalie Harp）的经历。

“我们会聊所有事情，也会聊无关紧要的小事，”她写道。“我想找回那种协同感。我们不应该一直谈论工作！！”

她补充道：“我总觉得自己像个中间人，介于工作人员与那些你在飞机上或晚餐时乐于交谈的人之间，因为当我还是个‘脱口秀主持人’（尽管我非常讨厌那份实际工作！）时，我在你心中就是那样的人。”

奥索夫参议员提及“娜塔莉”

本月，公众对哈普的关注进一步升级。佐治亚州民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫（Jon Ossoff）在亚特兰大告诉支持者，特朗普想要的是“建造他的舞厅并与娜塔莉一起旅行”，而不是履行总统的职责。此前有消息公开，在伊朗威胁发动袭击的预防措施中，哈普是少数几位陪同特朗普乘坐备用飞机离开土耳其的人员之一。

奥索夫的言论引发了特朗普盟友的愤怒，包括国会山议员和保守派影响力人士，其中许多人谴责该言论具有性别歧视且不恰当。

尽管白宫和特朗普的盟友在公开场合激烈地为哈普辩护，并否认了关于不当关系的暗示，但特朗普在面对关于其助手的问题时一直采取回避态度。

“人们会对成功且漂亮的女性非常刻薄，”卢娜（Luna）说道，“这就是发生在娜塔莉身上的事情。”

《纽约时报》记者玛吉·哈伯曼（Maggie Haberman）和乔纳森·斯旺（Jonathan Swan）在他们的著作《政权更迭》（Regime Change）中写道，特朗普曾告诉员工，哈普是唯一一个像他的妻子和孩子一样爱他的人。

“你们所有人最终都会离开我去赚钱，”特朗普会这样说，“而她永远不会离开我。”

马修斯（Matthews）表示，尽管特朗普在第一任期内与其他行政助理密切合作，但他与哈普的关系似乎处于“另一种层级的亲密”。

“我认为这是因为她对他极尽奉承，以及那些情书，”她说，“我认为他真的非常信任她。所以我想，她能够建立起一种更加紧密的纽带。”

尽管近期陷入争议，但哈普在上周的公开活动中依然陪伴在总统身边。

8月23日在华盛顿举行的“自由250大奖赛”（Freedom 250 Grand Prix）上，哈普坐在特朗普和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普身后几排，与总统之子埃里克聊天。

据报道，在此之前的几天，她随特朗普前往南卡罗来纳州参加竞选集会，并前往他位于北弗吉尼亚州的高尔夫俱乐部。

“她完全是以工作为中心，”卢娜说，“她是工作最勤奋的人之一，很难找到像她这样的人。”

领导天主教学者团体的犹太裔学者成为反犹太主义攻击目标

作者：彼得·史密斯（Peter Smith）

艾米-吉尔·莱文（Amy-Jill Levine）在马萨诸塞州度过童年时，在她那个以天主教徒为主的家乡，一名同学告诉她，因为她是犹太人，所以她应对杀死基督负有罪责。

她的母亲安慰她事实并非如此——而年轻的莱文并没有因为这次遭遇而心生愤恨，反而开始参加天主教教理课程，以进一步了解她的基督徒邻居及其信仰。

这促成了她随后数十年在一个特殊角色上的学术生涯——一名研究基督教经文的犹太学者。莱文致力于改善基督徒与犹太同胞之间相互理解的方式。她在许多教堂发表演讲，向学生讲解耶稣生活和教导中的古代犹太背景。她撰写了大量书籍，其中一些是与基督徒学者共同完成的。

学者艾米-吉尔·莱文是美国天主教圣经协会（Catholic Biblical Assn. of America）首位犹太裔主席。

她和一名合著者甚至曾亲自向教皇方济各呈递了一本书。

但本月，在美国天主教圣经协会宣布莱文当选为该协会首位犹太裔主席后，一场反犹太主义的抵制浪潮随之而来。

在拥有数万名粉丝的社交媒体账号的帖子和回复中，出现了大量谴责之词。批评者称她为“反基督”，声称她试图劫持天主教，谴责犹太人不接受耶稣，并附带了反犹太复国主义的评论。

虽然有些人质疑该协会为何要任命任何非天主教徒，但大部分批评都充斥着反犹太言论。而此时，全美范围内的反犹太主义情绪正处于上升期。

她的支持者和长期的基督徒合作伙伴对这次抵制感到震惊。

“不幸的是，有些人既不理解主席的职责，也不理解专业学会的性质，”该协会执行委员会主席格雷戈里·E·斯特林（Gregory E. Sterling）和执行主任阿奇·赖特（Archie Wright）在一份联合声明中表示，“她当选并非因为她是犹太人，而是因为她是一位卓越的学者，并在天主教与犹太教的对话中发挥了非常重要的作用。”

该协会由天主教和非天主教学者组成，其宗旨是在信仰的语境下改进对圣经的研究。莱文在协会中活跃了数十年，不过她表示，当提名委员会的人请她考虑担任主席时，她起初并不确定对方是否在认真。事实证明对方确实是认真的——支持者们引用了她与基督徒学者长期合作的历史。

丹尼尔·杜波依斯（DANIEL DUBOIS），范德堡大学

这些批评凸显了应对反犹太主义的必要性，协会在声明中表示：“我们需要践行我们信仰的价值观，而这些价值观在上述批评中并未体现。”该协会的多位前任主席也签署了一份类似的声明。

美国天主教主教会议负责监督宗教间关系的委员会主席致信莱文表示祝贺。

“你的当选是对圣经学术真正跨信仰特性的恰当庆祝，也是多年来在经文研究中犹太教与天主教忠实协作的体现，”宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿的约瑟夫·班贝拉（Joseph Bambera）主教说道，并补充说，这反映了梵蒂冈号召天主教徒与犹太民族追求“更深层的理解和相互尊重”。

莱文是一名正统犹太教信徒，她表示，尽管她不接受耶稣具有神性的基督教信仰，但她钦佩他作为早期拉比教师的身份，并相信基督徒和犹太人可以从彼此身上学到很多东西。

“仇恨与妖魔化、辱骂与诽谤，并不是良好的传教方式，”莱文在她的Facebook页面上写道，“而现在，讽刺的是，我不得不再次解释，这些恶毒的帖子并不代表教会最优秀的一面。”

厄尔尼诺现象将如何重塑加利福尼亚州海岸线

8月 2 日，由于高潮位导致马里布出现“极端侵蚀”，西向海滩路（Westward Beach Road）的部分路段被封锁。 RONALDO BOLAÑOS 洛杉矶时报

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI 洛杉矶时报 上图所示的欧赛德（Oceanside）及其他海滨城市旨在加强其基础设施建设。

[接 A1 页海滩报道]

现代时期，1982-83 年的现象与整个海岸线的严重破坏相吻合，摧毁了圣莫尼卡（Santa Monica）和海豹海滩（Seal Beach）的码头。1997-98 年，紧邻海岸线的文图拉县（Ventura County）展会场发生了洪涝。

2015-16 年的厄尔尼诺现象也与许多加州海滩创纪录的侵蚀季节相吻合——侵蚀程度比正常水平高出惊人的 76%。

美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey）与一所澳大利亚大学在 2023 年发布的计算机模型估计，如果在该时间段内海平面上升 3 英尺到 10 英尺，且不采取任何干预措施，到 2100 年，加州 $24% 到 $75% 的海滩可能会被完全侵蚀。

厄尔尼诺是一种气候模式，是指中东热带太平洋部分海域的暖化。典型的厄尔尼诺会改变冬季的风暴路径，使南加州的降水量高于平均水平，而使太平洋西北地区比正常情况更干燥。

厄尔尼诺对加州降雨的影响通常直到深冬才会显现。但这种气候模式的力量已经开始被感受到。

“我们处于一个相当危险的境地，因为我们已经从这些飓风中看到了厄尔尼诺的影响，”沃里克（Warrick）表示。“今年夏天飓风出现的频率增加，这导致了整个南加州暴露在这些南方波浪影响下的海滩出现了侵蚀。”

在圣地亚哥县，卡尔斯巴德州立海滩（Carlsbad State Beach）的部分区域已被冲走，包括塔马拉克（Tamarack）停车场前方的区域，导致该停车场部分关闭。

由于强力高潮位，橙县和圣地亚哥县的部分通勤火车服务不得不暂停一周。在拉古纳海滩，接连不断的风暴导致沙滩侵蚀严重，一个救生员站被系在岸边，以确保它不会被冲入大海。

“我们的许多救生塔都非常靠近水边，”拉古纳海滩海洋安全队长丹·多兰（Dane Doran）说道。

并非所有海滩都出现了极端侵蚀。而且存在典型的季节性变化，沙子可能会在冬季回归。

但考虑到上一次“强”厄尔尼诺发生在 2015-16 年，且其引发的创纪录海岸侵蚀在回顾中仍相对近期，一些人担心某些深受喜爱的海滩目的地所剩时间不多了。

“这就是为什么我们今天来攀岩，因为我们不知道还能这样多久，”29 岁的卡罗琳·巴克斯特（Caroline Baxter）在访问杜姆角（Point Dume）西侧的海盗湾（Pirates Cove）时说道。该地通过西向海滩进入，是一个热门的攀岩点。

目前，加州海岸外的暖水正在提高海平面，当前的潮位比官方预测高出 4 到 9 英寸。一年多以来，加州一直面临着一场与厄尔尼诺无关的异常海岸海洋热浪。之前的海洋热浪仅使海面以下约 130 英尺的水域升温，但当前热浪的影响在海面以下 325 英尺至 500 英尺之间可见。

“这种程度的暖化将显著提高海平面，”美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）西南渔业科学中心的研究海洋学家安德鲁·莱辛（Andrew Leising）表示。

近年来，即使没有厄尔尼诺，加州海岸的人造基础设施也一直遭受打击且陷入困境。

2022-23 年的拉尼娜（La Niña）季节带来了严重的冬季风暴，给文图拉码头（Ventura Pier）和圣克鲁斯县的国会码头（Capitol Wharf）造成了数百万美元的损失。

在圣克鲁斯，著名的西崖大道（West Cliff Drive）曾被巨浪严重破坏，并在随后的厄尔尼诺冬季遭受了更多的破坏和侵蚀。随后在2024年底，在既没有厄尔尼诺也没有拉尼娜现象的情况下，一场强风暴导致圣克鲁斯码头（Santa Cruz Wharf）的部分结构坍塌。

对于加州大学气候科学家丹尼尔·斯温（Daniel Swain）来说，警告信号已经非常明确。

“沿海洪水将成为今年冬季的一个巨大风险，不仅是在大洋沿岸，还包括加州所有与海岸相连的海湾和河口沿岸，”斯温表示。某些道路——例如连接马林县（Marin County）与纳帕县（Napa County）海湾岸线的37号公路，以及101号公路的部分路段和1号沿海公路——都面临洪水风险。

在南加州，整个地区的担忧情绪正在上升。住在长滩市（Long Beach）拿坡里岛（Naples Island）社区的南希·平克特（Nancy Pinckert）担心那些近90年历史的海堤能否抵御风暴。

“如果不进行维修，前所未有的冬季气候条件可能会给该地区带来巨大的破坏，”她说。

官员们正竞相做好准备。公共工程局局长格雷格·斯特拉卡卢斯（Gregg Strakaluse）表示，在文图拉县，公共工程人员正派出团队检查脆弱地段，并评估是否可以对其进行加固。公共工程局运营与维护工程副局长雨果·皮内达（Hugo Pineda）表示，橙县一直在翻修关键的泵站，以便在洪水威胁社区时使用。

长滩市海洋局局长托德·利兰（Todd Leland）表示，工作人员已加强对雨水管的维护，力求防止它们在风暴期间被堵塞。洛杉矶县公共工程局助理副局长斯特林·克利佩尔（Sterling Klippel）表示，公共工程人员将密切监测伊顿（Eaton）和帕利塞德（Palisades）火灾后的过火区域，这些地区仍然容易发生泥石流。

一些城市多年来一直与沙滩侵蚀作斗争，但近期发现这一进程在加速。该市海岸计划经理杰米·廷伯莱克（Jayme Timberlake）表示，欧申赛德（Oceanside）的海滩几十年来一直在萎缩，这被归咎于二战期间联邦彭德尔顿船坞（Camp Pendleton Boat Basin）的建设，该工程阻挡了来自圣玛格丽塔河（Santa Margarita River）的补沙。

那些曾经能俯瞰沙滩排球场的房主，现在面对的只是“一个距离湿沙仅15英尺的岩石护岸”。

廷伯莱克表示，欧申赛德正在开展一个名为“RE:BEACH”的项目，该项目正寻求资金建设一座离岸礁石，旨在让海浪在礁石上破碎，希望以此“让沙子停留更久，因为海浪将不再直接冲击沙滩”。

在附近的一段海岸线上，工作人员一直在铺设岩石以加固崩塌的海岸线，以确保附近的火车能够正常运行。

但一些海岸保护倡导者表示，官员们需要面对这一新现实，并采取长期措施重新规划道路、铁路轨道和其他基础设施，以便在海水侵占更多土地时，让沙滩能够向内陆迁移。

旨在保护全球海洋和海滩的非营利组织“冲浪者基金会”（Surfrider Foundation）高级环境总监扎克·普洛珀（Zach Plopper）表示，像用岩石铺设海滩以保护铁路这样的做法，“只是过去100年来的常规操作”。

他说：“我们本可以考虑重新规划的替代方案，那样成本会低得多。”

立法者寻求制止企业的监控定价行为

[定价，接 A1 页] “（算法发现）你非常喜欢一双凉鞋，于是决定向你收取更高的费用，”即将出版一本关于定价书籍的作者、非营利研究机构 Groundwork Collaborative 的执行主任林赛·欧文斯（Lindsay Owens）说道。

一种古老的定价惯例

但“统一价格”这一概念——由贵格会教徒提出，他们认为向不同的人收取不同的价格在道德上是卑劣的——后来变得普遍起来。

而现在，在消费者习惯了固定价格标签之后，企业正重新回归差异化定价。在监控模式下，零售商或第三方公司利用个人数据来精准定位经济学家所称的“客户支付意愿”。你搜索某个产品的频率可能表明你的购买欲望；你的收入、邮政编码、家庭状况则可能暗示你的经济承受能力。

“你可以将其类比为个性化广告。就像我们在 Facebook 上不断收到量身定制的广告一样，”印第安纳大学凯利商学院商业法与伦理学教授艾比·斯特姆勒（Abbey Stemler）表示。“他们使用的是同样类型的技术，即利用公司自身获取或通过数据经纪人购买的个人数据。”

但斯特姆勒表示，目前并没有太多实证数据能证明这种做法的普及程度，大多只是轶事传闻。

2022年，加利福尼亚州与零售巨头塔吉特（Target）达成了一项 $5-million 的和解协议，此前该公司被指控在移动应用程序上根据客户的位置对同一产品收取不同价格。

《消费者报告》（Consumer Reports）去年发布的一项调查详细阐述了食品零售商克罗格（Kroger）如何构建购物者的统计学画像，并以此创建个性化折扣。在其中一个案例中，关于一名客户的大部分收集信息都是错误的，包括其教育程度和子女数量。

“这潜在地极其不公平，因为有时这些判断并不正确，”斯坦福以人为本人工智能研究所（Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence）的隐私与数据政策研究员珍·金（Jen King）说道。

2024年，美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）对八家宣称使用人工智能和实时数据来确定价格的企业进行了调查，其中包括万事达卡（Mastercard）、摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase）以及零售定价软件公司。

该联邦机构发现，公司不仅收集消费者的 IP 地址和语言设置数据，还收集更细颗粒度的信息；一名受访者表示，他们可以收集用户是否在网页上高亮显示了产品名称，或者在购物时页面向下滚动了多少。

所有这些信息都可以用来推断客户对价格的敏感程度，或者他们愿意为产品支付更高金额的意愿。在其中一个用例中，FTC 的研究人员写道，如果一名客户被画像为新手父母且正在购买婴儿体温计，那么该客户可能会首先看到价格更高的产品版本。

如果同一位父母选择了更快的配送选项，公司可能会推断其对该商品处于急需状态，并得出结论：此人未来可以被收取更高费用。

这种方法是否会导致价格上涨？

第 2564 号议案将禁止零售商使用“监控定价”（surveillance pricing）。立法者将其定义为利用个人数据，通过包括人工智能（AI）在内的任何形式的技术来设定价格的行为。

包括新泽西州在内的其他州已经通过了限制此类做法的法律。在纽约州，一项禁止监控定价的法案正等待州长的签署。本月早些时候，美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）表示，打算针对那些未披露其使用个性化定价行为的公司采取行动。

议案作者、加州议员克里斯托弗·M·沃德（Christopher M. Ward，民主党-圣迭戈）表示，该议案旨在解决消费者之间公认的不公平现象。

“我认为这是一个公平性问题，”沃德说，“因为你住在加利福尼亚州，而我们的平均中位数收入较高，某些计算机算法可能会推断出你比住在亚利桑那州的人能够支付更高的价格。”

民意调查显示，3 in 4 的美国人担心公司和政府如何使用他们的个人数据。在 Groundwork Collective 的一项调查中，$76\%$ 的受访者认为，零售商根据客户的个人数据对商品收取不同价格是不公平的。

但现有的少数关于监控定价的研究表明，虽然这种方式能让公司赚到更多钱，但这并不总是意味着消费者的成本会增加。

在 2022 年的一项研究中，研究人员分析了招聘网站 ZipRecruiter 向希望使用其服务的雇主收取的费用。当 ZipRecruiter 利用这些企业的相关数据来设定个性化价格时，研究人员发现，超过 60% 的客户获得的价格低于研究人员计算出的最优价格。该公司通过个性化定价也赚到了更多钱，因为它能够吸引更多的买家。

芝加哥大学布斯商学院的市场营销教授让-皮埃尔·杜贝（Jean-Pierre Dubé）表示：“当我们开始假设个性化定价可能是有害的时候，我们可能会损害那些能够从中受益的客户的利益。”

一些反对加州监控定价法案的人正是基于这一点进行辩论——即这可能会增加公司提供低价的难度——尽管该法案的当前版本允许某些折扣，例如在客户即将结束订阅时。科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯（Jared Polis）在 6 月否决了一项类似的法案，他认为该法案的措辞过于宽泛，在他看来，这将限制公司降低价格，而不仅仅是限制其提高价格。

专家表示，即便如此，个性化定价可能会导致人们对商品应有价格的认知变得模糊。

“缺乏透明度最终会让你失去方向，”金（King）说道，“你将永远在猜测，试图弄清楚这个东西实际上是什么，它应该多少钱？我真的得到了折扣吗？我捡到便宜了吗？”

一个全景市帮派头目的陨落

[布莱斯街，接 A1 页] 直至今日仍能感受到。

埃德尔·门多萨（EDER MENDOZA）与辩护律师奥克塔维奥·查伊德斯（Octavio Chaidez）一同出现。他被判定在埃塞奎尔·罗莫的命令下犯有两起帮派谋杀罪。 CHRISTINA HOUSE 洛杉矶时报

布莱斯街本身曾被《时报》贴上“山谷地带最糟糕的街区”的标签。

MYUNG J. CHUN 洛杉矶时报

洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）侦探加布里埃尔·巴克内尔（Gabriel Bucknell）调查了在他口中“全景市那个破败的小区域”发生的谋杀案。

今年，两名布莱斯街成员被判定谋杀了一名帮派高级成员，而罗莫认为该成员已成为累赘。陪审团还判定两人杀害了一名他们认为目击了谋杀案的女性。

该帮派依然存在，但罗莫的大多数追随者要么已死，要么在狱中，或者在成为政府证人后潜逃。负责起诉罗莫的洛杉矶县副地区检察官埃里克·西达尔（Eric Siddall）表示，布莱斯街“不再是一个危险的帮派”，“它没有枪手，也没有核心领导层”。

但这并不意味着全景市的弊端已经结束。每一次变革都会带来意想不到的后果，包括罗莫的陨落——他在布莱斯街还有一个绰号：“邪恶”（Wicked）。

帕诺拉马城（Panorama City）是圣费尔南多谷（San Fernando Valley）中心一个贫困且以拉丁裔为主的社区。它由钢铁大亨亨利·凯泽（Henry Kaiser）和开发商弗里茨·伯恩斯（Fritz Burns）进行整体规划，吸引了在二战后繁荣时期涌入洛杉矶的家庭。

随着数十年的流逝，帕诺拉马城成为了更多来自墨西哥和中美洲移民的家园。1992年，该社区失去了一家主要雇主，通用汽车关闭了位于布莱斯街（Blythe Street）东端的工厂，那里曾有约 2,600 名员工以工会工资标准生产雪佛兰 Camaro 和庞蒂亚克 Firebird。

同年，《时报》发表了一篇文章，称布莱斯街为“山谷中最糟糕的街区”。拥挤的公寓楼深受害虫、电力不稳定和管道破旧之苦——但最大的问题是帮派。

在一份宣誓书中，一名警察报告称，一些居民学会了携带两个钱包，一个放几美元，在帮派成员用枪指着他们的脸时可以交出；另一个则放剩余的钱。年仅 7 岁的孩子就骑着滑板和自行车，拿着对讲机在社区里巡逻，他们由帮派付费，充当警察的哨兵。

在另一份宣誓书中，在市议会代表帕诺拉马城的埃尔纳尼·贝尔纳迪（Ernani Bernardi）描述了当局如何设置路障封锁布莱斯街的一个入口。但这产生了反效果：一辆载满外地青少年的汽车走错了路，发现自己被困在路障和一些布莱斯街成员之间，后者随即开火，导致一名 16 岁的男孩死亡。

“布莱斯街帮派似乎是社区中最强大的力量，”贝尔纳迪写道，“他们能够熬过洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）和其他城市机构的专项清除行动。”

转折点出现在 1992 年的万圣节。帮派成员围攻了在布莱斯街拥有一栋建筑的唐纳德·阿拉贡（Donald Aragon）的卡车，要求他交出钥匙以便他们开车去好莱坞参加派对。阿拉贡伸手去拿座位下的左轮手枪。枪战结束时，55 岁的阿拉贡死在原地，一名 19 岁的布莱斯街成员受致命伤。

市政府官员获得了一项法院命令，规定布莱斯街成员之间相互交往属于犯罪，并禁止他们居住在帕诺拉马城的大部分地区。

但导致一代又一代人加入布莱斯街的根源依然存在：拥挤破旧的住房；提供快钱的毒品贸易；以及社区中普遍存在的混乱感和恐惧感。

加州洛杉矶警察局侦探加布里埃尔·巴克内尔（Gabriel Bucknell）在多年后调查罗莫，而他在 2001 年担任巡警的第一周就被派往布莱斯街。巴克内尔在一次采访中回忆道，一群布莱斯街成员将车停在一名抱着婴儿的墨西哥移民身边。

“你从哪儿来？”他们在开火前质问道。

巴克内尔与这对父子一同乘坐救护车前往医院，孩子在那里死亡。“我记得那个父亲试图拿回孩子，”巴克内尔说，“他开始拔掉所有的管子。我不得不给那个父亲戴上手铐，因为他试图抢走尸体。”

大约 15 年后，当时已成为凶杀案侦探的巴克内尔，将注意力重新转向他所谓的“帕诺拉马城那个破败的小区域”。布莱斯街的成员接连死亡——而他知道是谁在幕后操纵。

2014年，罗莫在因过失杀人和袭击被判处18年监禁后出狱。负责起诉罗莫几名下属的副地区检察官尼古拉斯·康（Nicholas Kang）表示，罗莫在狱中被“墨西哥黑手党”（Mexican Mafia）所吸引。墨西哥黑手党也被称为“La Eme”，是一个由约140名男子组成的团体，负责监管南加州监狱内及街头上的拉丁裔帮派成员。

回到布莱斯街后，罗莫希望证明他的帮派能够为墨西哥黑手党在圣费尔南多谷（San Fernando Valley）执行具体任务。但罗莫发现他的旧帮派组织涣散且毫无目标。在他开始清理门户之前，他于2015年被捕，当时他的车里有一磅甲基苯丙胺。时年38岁的罗莫被判处四年监禁。

在森蒂内拉州立监狱（Centinela State Prison）服刑期间，罗莫利用违禁手机指挥在帕诺拉马城的敲诈勒索、毒品交易和枪支销售。布莱斯街的年轻成员对他毫无保留地执行命令。

“他有野心，有纪律，而且很聪明，”检察官西达尔（Siddall）说道，“这些是人们天然会被吸引的领导特质。”

罗莫的得力助手是奥斯卡·“烟雾”·莫利纳（Oscar "Smokey" Molina），一个身材粗壮的34岁男子，他似乎很乐意听从一名囚犯的指令。在为老板跑了一整天腿后，他在一条WhatsApp消息中告诉罗莫：“好梦，”并写道，“我会为你留着夜灯，这样影子怪物就不会骚扰你了。”

在罗莫的命令下，莫利纳和布莱斯街的其他成员杀害了伊西德罗·“鼹鼠”·阿尔巴（Isidro "Topo" Alba），一名挑战罗莫权威的帮派资深成员；塞萨尔·“吸烟者”·加尔韦斯（Cesar "Toker" Galvez），一名在遭到对手袭击时未能还击的布莱斯街成员；以及卡洛斯·里奥斯（Carlos Rios），一个在未经罗莫允许的情况下，在脸上纹了一个“B”——这一荣誉仅限真正的布莱斯街成员——的投机者。

在WhatsApp的交流记录中，莫利纳表现出极强的意愿帮助罗莫杀掉帮派成员。当莫利纳举报一名内部线人时，罗莫要求查看警方报告。他在WhatsApp上写道：“我不想因为杀错了人而显得像个傻瓜。”莫利纳随后提供了该文件。

而当莫利纳说他给一名被罗莫质疑忠诚度的布莱斯街成员注射了海洛因和电池酸的致命混合物时，罗莫回信道：“太完美了（Purrrrrfect）。”

罗莫暗示自己正走在成为墨西哥黑手党成员的道路上，并向莫利纳吹嘘，布莱斯街没有其他人能“走到这一步”。

“你会惊讶于人们是如何向我提供好处或征求我的意见，而不是去找那些‘大佬’（big homies）的，”他写道，这里的“大佬”是指墨西哥黑手党的成员。

尽管莫利纳很尽职，但他对海洛因上瘾。每当他睡过头或漏接电话时，他的老板就会责骂他。“赶紧给我起来接电话，”罗莫写道，“我们有正事要谈。”

根据证词，罗莫开始担心莫利纳的吸毒问题，并怀疑他偷窃。他以一种意料之中的方式处理了这些顾虑。

2018年2月10日凌晨4点前，莫利纳收到了一条来自另一名布莱斯街成员埃德·“鼠辈”·门多萨（Eder "Mousey" Mendoza）的短信。

“我在你住处外面，兄弟，”门多萨在法庭展示的短信中写道，“我只想谈谈，伙计。顺便低调地抽口烟。”

根据证词，门多萨在成为流浪汉后，莫利纳曾允许他住在自己的公寓里。莫利纳在短信中回复道：“我现在就出去，别紧张。”

莫利纳将一把左轮手枪塞在蓝色运动短裤的腰带里。根据法庭出示的监控录像，当他打开门时，门多萨开枪击中了他，而另一名布莱斯街成员洛伦佐·“史库比”·冈萨雷斯（Lorenzo "Scooby" Gonzalez）则在走廊尽头把风。

当洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）抵达现场时，他们发现一名女性躲在莫利纳的公寓里。在莫利纳的妻子出现之前，凯伦·托巴（Karen Tobar）恳求警员让她离开，同时她给门多萨——她那分分合合的情人——发了一条Facebook消息。

“烟雾（Smokey）死了，”托巴写道。尽管门多萨实际上就是凶手，但他回复道：“搞什么鬼！！！你说什么他死了？”随后他询问她在哪里。

“在他家外面，”托巴说。接着她加上了一个可能决定她命运的词：“警察。”

检察官在两人的审判过程中主张，门多萨和冈萨雷斯认为托巴目击了谋杀并正在与警方沟通。

十二天后，托巴与门多萨和冈萨雷斯一起乘坐了一辆无证的“非法出租车”（bandit cab）。

该司机在法庭上仅以首字母标识，他作证称冈萨雷斯指示他前往西尔马（Sylmar）的凯里牧场公园（Carey Ranch Park）。门多萨和托巴在后座接吻。到达目的地后，冈萨雷斯告诉司机在车里等待，然后与门多萨和托巴一起下车。

最后只有冈萨雷斯和门多萨回来。司机作证称，他将两人送回了帕诺拉马城，冈萨雷斯用毒品支付了车费。

次日早晨，一名公园员工发现了托巴的尸体。她面朝下地躺着。她的棕色皮夹克上被刺了60处伤口，喉咙被割开，伤口几乎从一只耳朵延伸到另一只耳朵。

当侦探逮捕冈萨雷斯并没收其手机时，他们发现了他与女友的短信往来。当冈萨雷斯说在托巴最后一次被目击在世的那晚他不在家时，其女友勃然大怒。

冈萨雷斯为其缺席给出了解释。“这是上面的命令，”他写道，“你想让我怎么做。”

陪审团判定两人在莫利纳和托巴谋杀案中罪名成立。在8月对门多萨判处终身监禁且不得假释之前，洛杉矶县高等法院法官大卫·沃尔格伦（David Walgren）在谈到托巴之死时表示：“我只能说，这是一起极其残忍且令人发指的谋杀案。”

冈萨雷斯尚未被判刑。在另一起案件中，他被指控犯有另一项谋杀罪——被害人是一名狱友。

在莫利纳死后，罗莫的新二把手告诉他，竞争对手正在侵占全景市（Panorama City）。“外面没几个真货，”罗莫在一条 WhatsApp 消息中评论道，“让他们去杀那些假布莱斯街帮（blytheros）吧。”

对于那些他认为毫无贡献的人，他几乎不屑一顾。在得知一名坐轮椅的布莱斯街帮成员遭到竞争对手哥伦布街帮（Columbus Street gang）嘲讽后，罗莫写道：“他们应该帮我们个忙。”

2023年，罗莫被判定犯有谋杀罪、谋杀未遂罪和共谋罪，被判处终身监禁且不得假释。他的七名追随者也被判处终身监禁。

随着布莱斯街帮的衰落，一个名为“原始山谷帮克里普斯”（Original Valley Gangster Crips）的黑人帮派看到了机会。2024年2月8日上午，两名枪手在莫利纳死亡的同一栋托比亚斯大道（Tobias Avenue）建筑外，伏击了一名布莱斯街帮的关联人员路易斯·高纳（Luis Gaona）。

检察官指控三名男子犯有谋杀高纳罪：安东尼·“狡诈”·科尔曼（Anthony "Devious" Coleman）、约书亚·“H3”·巴尼（Joshua "H3" Barney）和贾维尔·“2K”·托马斯（Javel "2K" Thomas）。当当局得知托马斯被指控犯有性犯罪时，调查陷入了阴暗的局面，托马斯否认该指控。根据一名侦探在初步听证会上的证词，托马斯在强迫一名15岁女孩辱骂布莱斯街帮的同时对其实施了强奸。

在一份宣誓书中，一名侦探写道，关于毒品地盘的争夺“正在导致该社区许多黑人居民与布莱斯街帮之间产生冲突”。在高纳被杀六个月后，一名70岁的黑人男子克莱德·摩尔（Clyde Moore）将车停在同一栋托比亚斯大道建筑外。检察官指控布莱斯街帮成员安德鲁·洛佩兹（Andrew Lopez）开枪击中了摩尔的头部。洛佩兹对谋杀指控辩称无罪。

与此同时，根据监狱记录，在官员得出结论认为墨西哥黑手党（Mexican Mafia）想要杀死罗莫后，罗莫为了自身安全被隔离。在罗莫将这些威胁斥为“监狱传闻”并要求被安置在普通囚区后，当局将他送到了森蒂内拉（Centinela）——正是这座沙漠监狱，他曾在此指挥对其帮派的清洗。在他抵达后不久，三名囚犯将其刺死。

罗莫被杀的动机尚不明确。西达尔（Siddall）表示，一些线人声称罗莫在洛杉矶县监狱的毒品交易中背叛了他人。另一个可能的原因是：罗莫在并非成员的情况下，自称是墨西哥黑手党的成员。

“他太自以为是了，”侦探巴克内尔（Bucknell）说，“他做了一些错误的决定，得罪了太多人。或者说，得罪了不该得罪的人。”

就像那个被罗莫下令处死的年轻人，在脸上刺了一个他并未赢得的“B”一样，罗莫在脖子上纹了一个墨西哥黑手党的标志——一只翅膀组成字母“M”的蝴蝶。

林赛·克兰西谋杀案陪审团正在评议

心。

争议焦点在于这位前护士是否应对杀死其三个孩子的行为承担刑事责任。

作者：迈克尔·凯西

马萨诸塞州普利茅斯 —— 在备受关注的林赛·克兰西审判中，陪审团于上周开始评议，并将于周一返回评议室。

他们有许多需要考虑的事项。

在过去的五周里，陪审团听取了医生、急救人员、亲属以及克兰西前丈夫的证词。陪审团目前正在权衡，她是否应对 2023 年在其马萨诸塞州家中杀死三个年幼孩子的行为承担刑事责任。

双方均承认克兰西实施了该行为。

但她的律师辩称，这位前产科护士在案发时患有产后精神病，且糟糕的心理健康护理加剧了她的病情。

检察官则认为她是蓄意计划杀人的。

如果克兰西被定罪，她的刑期最高可达终身监禁。如果被判定无罪，她可能会被释放或继续被限制在心理健康设施中。

在陪审团评议期间，以下是陪审团可能会考虑的审判瞬间。

前丈夫讲述其 911 报警电话

克兰西的前丈夫帕特里克·克兰西首先出庭作证。在充满感情的证词中，他描述了在妻子尝试自杀后发现她的那一天。

林赛·克兰西曾让他出去买外卖和给女儿买药，检察官认为这是为了让他离开房子的借口。他回到家后发现屋内异常安静，随后在主卧室发现了血迹，且窗户开着。

陪审员们听取了帕特里克·克兰西在雪地中发现妻子后拨打的 911 电话。电话中可以听到克兰西在与妻子交谈，随后他告诉调度员他要去查看孩子们的情况。

片刻之后，他在地下室发现孩子们后发出嚎叫并痛哭。困惑的调度员反复询问发生了什么。

“她杀了孩子们！”他大喊道。

众人都知道克兰西在挣扎

克兰西的母亲、婆婆、姐妹、朋友以及同事们作证称，在生下三个孩子中最小的卡兰之后，克兰西在心理健康方面陷入了挣扎。

克兰西的婆婆苏珊·克兰西表示，她与前儿媳关系密切。

两人都曾担任产科护士。她将克兰西描述为一位极好的母亲。

但苏珊·克兰西作证称，她的儿媳变得焦虑、偏执且有自杀倾向，而且她所接受的精神科治疗并没有起到作用。

“她感觉不舒服。她失眠，失去食欲。她非常焦虑和悲伤，”苏珊·克兰西说，“她在恳求帮助。”

琳赛·克兰西的母亲保拉·马斯格罗夫作证称，她的女儿害怕单独睡觉，变得偏执，并认为她所服用的药物“正在摧毁她”。

“妈妈，你能不能过来陪我住一段时间？我真的病了。有些不对劲，”克兰西在2022年10月的一条短信中这样写道，保拉·马斯格罗夫在法庭上朗读了这条短信。“我整晚严重失眠，我不知道该如何度过这一天……这真的非常可怕，我不想一个人待着。”

克兰西因心理健康状况恶化就诊于多位医生，最终自行入住了一家精神病院。她的律师凯文·雷丁顿主张，她被误诊且药物过量。

在对其中一名精神科医生詹妮弗·塔夫茨博士进行交叉质询时，雷丁顿质疑了她的专业能力、开药决定，以及使用时长仅25分钟且谈话治疗时间有限的视频预约。

在某个时刻，雷丁顿暗示塔夫茨就像一个只知道勾选选项的“机器人”。

“你做了什么？一个女人在告诉你她感到绝望，”在讨论一起发生在杀人事件前约两个月左右的预约时，他这样问道。

“我告诉她这是我们可以解决的问题，是有希望的，有治疗方案，有不同类型的项目，”塔夫茨说，“这样她就知道自己仍然有选择，有希望的理由。”

克兰西说她听到了声音

保罗·泽泽尔是一名临床和法医心理学家，他在克兰西杀害孩子后前往医院探视，他作证称，他无意中听到她提到一个脱离肉体的男性声音告诉她，她别无选择，只能杀死孩子然后自杀。

泽泽尔表示，他认为克兰西由于严重的精神疾病，对其行为不负法律责任。

检方传唤了一名反驳证人，法医心理学家柯克·海尔布伦，他表示他不相信克兰西产生了幻听。

“当我询问发生了什么时，她说过的一件事是，在勒死每个孩子的时候，她说：‘去上帝那里吧，宝贝。去上帝那里吧，’他说道。‘这是她的一种预期，认为她和孩子们会在天堂与上帝在一起。’”

联邦调查局（FBI）行为分析部门的高级精神科医生格雷戈里·萨特霍夫博士为检方作证，称克兰西“具备分辨是非的能力”。

在证词陈述完毕后，双方各获得约一小时的时间向陪审团进行结案陈词。雷丁顿向陪审团展示了一张克兰西一家看起来很幸福的照片，以及第二张琳赛·克兰西在医院的照片。

“这一切是怎么变成这样的？”雷丁顿问道，“怎么会这样？因为那该死的药物，以及她接受的糟糕医疗护理。”

前白宫工作人员因内幕交易被罚款

作者：Collin Binkley

华盛顿 —— 一名被指控利用内部信息在预测市场 Kalshi 进行投注的前白宫提词机操作员，已被要求上缴超过 $100,000 的利润并支付 $65,000 的罚款，这是其与联邦当局达成和解协议的一部分。

周五公布的这项与商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）达成的和解协议，还对加布里埃尔·佩雷斯（Gabriel Perez）处以三年的交易禁令。在有报道称佩雷斯利用其职务之便，对特朗普总统在演讲中将说什么进行投注后，他被白宫处以无薪留职。

白宫未立即就该和解协议发表评论。一名白宫官员在 7 月表示，佩雷斯已不在其岗位上，但未说明他是被解雇还是辞职。

委员会发现，佩雷斯在 2025 年 12 月至 2026 年 2 月期间，通过在预测市场上投注特朗普演讲中会出现的词汇和短语，获利 $107,500。根据委员会发布的一份公告，“凭借其职务，佩雷斯在总统演讲发表前即可接触到演讲稿，而佩雷斯挪用了这些信息——这违反了他的信任与保密义务。”

佩雷斯被要求偿还其利润并支付 $65,000 的民事罚款，委员会表示，由于其“模范般的配合”，罚款金额有所降低。随着细节在 7 月 16, 日披露，时任白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）表示，这件事“令人遗憾”且“是一种耻辱”。

Binkley 为美联社撰稿。

检察官詹妮弗·斯普拉格（Jennifer Sprague）表示，批评心理健康系统是一种“转移注意力”的行为。她表示，克兰西选择杀死她的孩子，是因为这样做会让她更容易杀死自己。

“她很抑郁。她精疲力竭。她崩溃了。她不想再尝试了。她觉得自己被摧毁了，”斯普拉格说。“但那些孩子，那些孩子是她的保护因素。那些孩子曾阻止她结束自己的痛苦。”

尽管有了新的州税收抵免，洛杉矶的制作量仍在下降，但迹象并非全部糟糕

每逢周一，当我坐下来撰写这封时事通讯时，我都会检查大洛杉矶地区电影和电视拍摄的每周数据。

几乎每周的情况都十分惨淡。

与 2025 年相比，制作量几乎总是在下降。而这些周的数据累积起来便成了趋势。

7 月下旬，非营利组织 FilmLA 报告称，第二季度长篇电影的拍摄量比去年下降了 20%。更糟糕的是，曾作为洛杉矶娱乐业生命线的电视制作量下降了 30%。

洛杉矶生产水平的低迷对好莱坞来说是一场生存危机，我的同事斯泰西·珀曼（Stacy Perman）最近写了一篇详尽的报道，讲述了我们是如何陷入这种境地的。正如她所指出的，这是一个关于成本增加、政治不作为、来自其他地区的激烈竞争，以及至关重要的一点——加州人过度自信地认为好莱坞绝不可能且永远不会离开的故事。

好莱坞挽救自身是否已太迟？

问题可以追溯到 20 世纪 90 年代初，当《X档案》首次在温哥华开拍之时。事实证明，真相就在那里——加拿大正成为一个比洛杉矶更适合电影拍摄的目的地，“北好莱坞”拥有更低的制作成本、日益增长的剧组专业技术，以及最终吸引更多项目落户该地区的税收抵免政策。

随着时间的推移，越来越多的州和国家抢走了加利福尼亚州的份额，直到去年，该州终于采取措施改革其电影和电视税收抵免计划，将年度上限提高至 7.5亿美元，并扩大了可获得激励措施的制作类型。这一进展受到了包括制片厂高管和基层工会剧组人员在内的行业团体的欢迎。

但尽管税收抵免将部分制作带回了加利福尼亚州，但这还不足以完全阻止人才和项目的外流。

首先，加利福尼亚州的计划对可作为制作激励发放的总金额设有年度上限，而其他州和国家则没有这种限制。

该计划还不允许报销演员薪酬和其他所谓的“线上成本”（above-the-line costs）。好莱坞许多人表示，这是一个关键差异，将使加利福尼亚州的竞争力低于其他地点，尽管此类条款在更广泛的州议会中可能难以被接受。

（最近，电影业倡导者再次联合起来，游说反对今年通过的一项更广泛的公司税上限，他们表示这可能会危及该州制作激励计划所带来的就业增长。）

与此同时，许多人仍在苦苦挣扎。我在报道洛杉矶制作困境时亲眼目睹了这一点。我采访了一些供应商，他们熬过了 COVID-19 疫情以及 2023 年的编剧和演员罢工，结果却被失控的制作外流击垮，被迫缩小住房规模并背负数百万美元的债务。这还不包括数以千计为了生存而被迫裁员、提前退休、搬离本州或转行的从业者。

Paramount Skydance 即将收购华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Bros. Discovery），这进一步加剧了行业的焦虑。根据 CVL Economics 最近完成的一份洛杉矶县报告，这笔交易可能会在三年内导致 4,500 个洛杉矶就业岗位消失。（Paramount 表示，其合并最终将加强该行业，且公司计划每年在制作方面投资 300 亿美元 billion。）

在加州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）和其他 11 位民主党州总检察长提起反垄断诉讼以阻止该交易后，Paramount 威胁将其位于梅尔罗斯大道（Melrose Avenue）的制片厂迁至田纳西州或德克萨斯州。

好莱坞的情况是否已经太迟，无法扭转？

作者：萨曼莎·马苏纳加（Samantha Masunaga）

考虑到行业的变革——电影和电视阵容的精简、金州之外已建立且成熟的电影中心以及其他地方更低的成本——洛杉矶的制作规模可能无法再达到曾经的高度。

但这并不意味着这里的行业已无可救药。

好莱坞制作已成为洛杉矶市长竞选中的热门议题，市长凯伦·巴斯和市议员尼蒂亚·拉曼都誓言要让在洛杉矶拍摄变得更加便捷。

虽然市长办公室无法影响州的制作激励计划，但它可以帮助减少剧组在市内面临的当地官僚主义。让该议题保持在聚光灯下，只能为行业争取更多推动变革的筹码。

目前还有一项游说工作旨在支持一项州议案，该议案将为后期制作公司提供税收减免，类似于纽约州的政策。

在国家层面，人们正在讨论可能设立联邦电影和电视税收抵免，这种激励措施不仅针对加利福尼亚州，而且可以帮助夺回部分海外制作，让洛杉矶重新获得关注。

这些迹象都表明，现在每个人都充分意识到了问题的严重程度。结合洛杉矶在该行业丰富的经验，至少还存在一线希望。

OpenAI 表示其 Jalapeño 芯片性能优于英伟达处理器

作者：DINA BASS

OpenAI 表示，其新型 Jalapeño 芯片在测试中的表现优于英伟达公司（Nvidia Corp.）目前的系列产品，这凸显了该公司在自主研发 AI 处理器方面取得的进展。

在测试中， 处理器在两个类别中领先：单位功耗可处理的 AI 工作量，以及返回响应的速度。

OpenAI 芯片负责人 Richard Ho 在上周的一次采访中表示，该半导体是与英伟达的 GB300 进行对比测量的，而 GB300 是测试中所使用的公共基准测试系统中的领先选项。

这家 ChatGPT 的制造商计划在今年开始使用这些新芯片来支持其人工智能模型，这是其构建自有 AI 基础设施这一更广泛举措的一部分。它加入了致力于开发自主 AI 芯片的公司大军中——该领域目前由英伟达主导。

Ho 上周在 Bloomberg Tech 节目中表示，随着该芯片更广泛地部署，它将显著降低 OpenAI 的成本。

他说：“这是一个非常出色的芯片——它应该能大幅降低成本。”

他表示，只要 OpenAI 能够增加 的产量且成本节省幅度如预期般显著，公司旨在利用自有芯片处理更多的 AI 任务。

OpenAI 是与博通公司（Broadcom Inc.）合作创建 的，博通为各类客户制造定制芯片。这两家公司于去年宣布了合作协议，并在 6 月份宣传了该处理器的开发速度，称其在创纪录的时间内完成。

Ho 表示，通常情况下，某些芯片在运行 AI 任务时更强大，而另一些芯片在快速响应方面表现更好，但 两者兼顾。他说，OpenAI 将决定哪些 AI 模型在 上运行，从而允许客户在成本节省或更高性能之间选择方案。

“在实验室中， 在高吞吐量领域（意味着它能以更低的成本服务更多客户）以及低延迟领域（意味着对于在意此项指标的客户，响应时间将非常非常快）都展现出了性能，”Ho 说道。

他表示，由于该芯片在低电压——700 watts——下取得了强劲结果， 将使 OpenAI 在运行数据中心时节省资金，因为电力是关键成本。

没有与英伟达刚开始出货的新一代芯片 Vera Rubin 进行测试。

它也不是为训练 AI 模型而设计的，而这正是英伟达技术擅长的领域。 旨在用于 AI 的推理阶段——即模型已经完成训练，可以开始响应提示并处理任务的阶段。

的速度优势意味着 OpenAI 可以实现此前仅能通过使用不同类型内存和设计的芯片才能获得的结果。例如，OpenAI 的部分模型依赖于 Cerebras Systems Inc. 的技术。但 Ho 表示，那种芯片最适合较小的模型。

相比之下，他说 可以处理较大的模型。不过，Ho 表示，OpenAI 的技术短期内不会取代 Cerebras 等供应商。

“我们对计算的需求如此之大，这就是为什么我们签约了这么多不同的供应商，”他说。“这种情况在一段时间内仍将持续。”

Ho 表示 OpenAI 希望

孩子们找到了重新回到应用程序的方法，随着全球的关注，该政策正面临更严格的审查。

澳大利亚青少年社交媒体禁令成效下滑

作者：Newley Purnell 公开其所采取的措施，以帮助刺激 AI 芯片领域的创新。

根据 Qustodio 的最新数据，在实施禁止 16 岁以下用户访问 TikTok 等社交媒体服务的八个月后，澳大利亚发现其年轻用户正在大量回归。

访问 Meta Platforms Inc. 旗下的 Instagram 和 Facebook 以及中国字节跳动（ByteDance Ltd.）旗下的 TikTok 等服务。许多人认为这些服务对年轻用户的心理健康有害，其他国家也在效仿澳大利亚，包括新西兰上周宣布的计划。

这款家长控制软件制造商表示，截至上个月，13 至 15 岁儿童中使用 TikTok 的比例约为 26%，仅比澳大利亚开创性法规生效前的比例低 1 个百分点。数据显示，10 至 12 岁儿童的使用率现在比禁令实施前更高。

澳大利亚政府一直处于通过立法防止未成年——

“我们看到的是在一定程度上出现了立即下降，但缓慢而坚定地，某些服务的用户数量已开始再次增加，几乎回到了同等水平，”Qustodio 的全球在线安全专家 Yasmin London 表示。

其他初创公司也在研究类似的构思。Etched 最近表示其融资估值为 $21，目前正开始出货一款低电压芯片。而由两名谷歌硅片业务校友创立的 MatX 公司，则在研发一种旨在同时实现高吞吐量和低延迟的半导体。

数据显示，Instagram 和 Snap Inc. 旗下的 Snapchat 的使用率低于 TikTok，但在 12 月禁令生效之初下降后，现在也开始悄悄回升。London 表示，孩子们可能会掩盖自己的年龄，使用伪装位置的虚拟专用网络（VPN），或者在平台上根本没有遇到有效的年龄检查。

OpenAI 使用其一个较小的开源模型以及来自 DeepSeek 和 Moonshot AI 的第三方模型，对其新芯片进行了公开测试。在 OpenAI 尝试的最大模型——Moonshot 的 Kimi 模型上，Jalapeño 展现出了更广泛的优势。

“归根结底，孩子们想要访问这些应用，因为他们想和我们所有人一样保持联系，”London 说道。

新数据凸显了人们对澳大利亚年龄控制措施有效性以及科技巨头对其执行情况的担忧。由于有 20 多个政府已经实施或寻求实施类似措施，全球的监管机构、科技公司和家长都在研究澳大利亚的经验。

Emarketer 专注于社交媒体的高级分析师 Minda Smiley 表示，澳大利亚正受到“密切关注”，并已成为社交媒体限制问题的象征。“即使其他国家也在效仿，我认为很多人仍在特别关注澳大利亚，希望它能提供某种蓝图。”

Qustodio 表示，由于数据仅从安装了其家长监——

总部位于西班牙巴塞罗那的 Qustodio 的研究基于 19,000 个澳大利亚家庭的匿名信息。它衡量了能够解锁访问这些应用，且每月至少使用一次且连续使用超过 5 分钟的儿童百分比。

控软件的设备中收集数据，因此新数字可能会低估该问题。与此同时，社交媒体巨头在美国面临多起诉讼，被指控通过使平台具有成瘾性而损害年轻用户。

TikTok、Snap 和 Meta 没有立即回应置评请求。

其中一项使用率上升的服务是 Meta 的 WhatsApp，该服务不受政府限制。在禁令之前，13 至 15 岁儿童中使用该即时通讯平台的比例约为 27%。目前这一数字为 36%。

澳大利亚政府在6月表示，社交媒体公司在遵守年龄限制方面做得不够，而该限—

澳大利亚的在线安全监管机构（即 eSafety）没有立即回应关于新数据的置评请求。

制要求这些公司采取合理措施防止 16 岁以下用户使用，否则将面临罚款。政府承诺将违规最高罚款额提高一倍至 7000万美元，并赋予该国在线安全监督机构额外的执法权力。到目前为止，还没有社交媒体平台因违反禁令而被罚款。

Smiley 表示，那些试图寻找澳大利亚规则是否奏效之线索的政府，可能会采取长远观察。

Purnell 为彭博社（Bloomberg）撰稿。

“目前还处于早期阶段，我认为澳大利亚将继续施压，”她说。“禁令出台之时，正值社交媒体受到比以往任何时候都更严格的审查，所以我认为公众情绪在他们这一边。”

在内部测试中，该芯片在运行一些尚未发布的 OpenAI 大型先进模型时也表现良好。该公司在的一篇博客文章中表示，这表明该芯片的设计“随着工作负载变得更大且要求更高而变得更有价值”。

OpenAI 表示，它利用自己的 AI 模型来加快芯片的开发。第二个版本已经在开发过程中取得了很大进展。Ho 表示，公司预计在“未来几个月”内完成芯片的 tape out（设计最终阶段）。

OpenAI 已经在设计第三代产品的概念，因为该公司希望降低其在全球范围内构建的大量 AI 基础设施的成本。

“我们正处于一个能够降低基础设施成本的成本水平和电力水平，”Ho 说。“这是第一步。”

尽管 OpenAI 在宣传自己的成果并将其与英伟达（Nvidia）进行对比，但 Ho 特意指出，它仍然将该公司视为关键的芯片供应商。

“英伟达是一个非常好的合作伙伴，我们仍然需要大量的英伟达产品，”他说。

谷歌向好莱坞制片厂推销其人工智能

总部位于山景城的谷歌（Google）曾与好莱坞在盗版问题上发生过冲突。

[谷歌，接A1页]

“不可避免的是，好莱坞和人工智能将变得相互依赖，而我们如何才能在不惊吓人们的情况下最好地理解这一点，”前制片厂和网络高管汤姆·努南（Tom Nunan）表示。

谷歌、华纳兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）和迪士尼（Disney）的代表均拒绝置评。

一名NBC环球（NBCUniversal）的发言人表示，该公司目前并未与谷歌就将其知识产权授权用于人工智能模型进行积极洽谈。

谷歌目前的接触方式与十年前截然不同。十年前，该公司在旨在遏制盗版的立法问题上与好莱坞发生冲突，当时采取的是更为对抗的姿态。那时，人们在未经许可或未向制片厂付费的情况下，将各种剧集和电影的片段上传到YouTube上。

谷歌称其正在删除有问题的内容，但制片厂认为其速度不够快，这家搜索引擎巨头因此成为了行业中的弃儿。

如今的情况已大不相同。谷歌已经通过其不同的部门与许多娱乐公司开展业务，无论是销售其云计算服务，通过Google DeepMind改进人工智能工具，还是在如今已成为电视业务主力的YouTube上分发内容。

今年6月，谷歌向A24投资了7500万美元，作为一项战略合作伙伴关系以协作开发人工智能工具。A24是《瞬息全宇宙》（Everything Everywhere All at Once）和《月光》（Moonlight）等奥斯卡获奖电影的制片厂。

“他们意识到，虽然A24不是最大的制片厂，但能给他们带来一种在好莱坞尚未获得的信誉，”Moses & Singer律师事务所合伙人、前Showtime Networks总法律顾问罗布·罗森伯格（Rob Rosenberg）表示。“他们正处于形象修复阶段，试图不仅获得认可，而且让人们欣赏他们正试图采取高尚手段的事实。他们试图在好莱坞与他们这个人工智能平台之间建立伙伴关系。”

这家总部位于加利福尼亚州山景城的公司还与导演达伦·阿罗诺夫斯基（Darren Aronofsky）的风险投资公司Primordial Soup建立了合作伙伴关系。

对于谷歌而言，这是一个从才华横溢的创意人员那里获得反馈的机会，这些人员可以帮助其为娱乐行业构建更好的人工智能工具。

投资A24的举动还使谷歌能够更好地捕捉由OpenAI留下的任何商业机会，后者在今年关闭了其文本转视频应用Sora。

迪士尼去年宣布与OpenAI达成一项重大许可协议，允许这家科技初创公司在Sora上使用人工智能生成的迪士尼角色（如米老鼠）版本，但该协议最终破裂。OpenAI决定关闭Sora，以便将资源集中在其他业务上。

包括迪士尼在内的一些制片厂已就版权侵权起诉人工智能公司，相关案件仍在审理中。迪士尼去年还向谷歌发送了一封停止并终止函，指责这家科技巨头在未经授权的情况下使用迪士尼的版权材料来训练谷歌的人工智能系统。

制片厂发现自己陷入了困境，应对人工智能的情况与二十年前人们在YouTube上传未经授权的热门剧集和电影片段时非常相似。

2007, 维亚康姆（Viacom）起诉谷歌要求赔偿10 亿美元 billion，指控其侵犯版权，但直到 2014 该案件才达成和解。到那时，YouTube已被消费者广泛采用。制片厂现在利用YouTube来推广其节目，而谷歌的Content ID技术可以标记视频，并让版权持有者能够从中赚取广告收入。

“他们记得并留意多年前发生的事情，当时谷歌和YouTube最终随心所欲，那确实是一个相当缺乏监管的环境，”

“谷歌对 YouTube 的做法是让它完全野蛮生长，直到它变得‘大到不能倒’，以至于每个人在某个时间点都不得不与其达成协议，”投资公司 Integrated Media 的首席执行官、前新闻集团（News Corp.）高管乔纳森·米勒（Jonathan Miller）表示。

目前的部分讨论集中在制片厂如何在制作中使用谷歌的 AI 工具，而其他议题则涉及为 AI 生成的输出内容授权制片厂的角色。

角色授权可以为制片厂提供另一种收入来源，而谷歌则可以分享 YouTube 上 生成内容的任何广告收入。

一名熟悉这些交易但不愿透露姓名的人士表示，一家 公司向制片厂租赁角色知识产权（IP）的平均费用可能高达每个角色 4000万美元，而 100 个角色的交易额可达数十亿美元。

消息人士称，YouTube 还接触了人才经纪公司和制片厂，讨论使用其肖像检测技术来标记那些侵犯版权材料或篡改名人面孔的 生成内容；如果权利持有人或好莱坞艺人决定将这些视频保留在 YouTube 上，则有可能找到一种将这些 生成内容变现的方法。

他们表示，YouTube 全球媒体与体育负责人、前迪士尼高管贾斯汀·康诺利（Justin Connolly）参与了这些讨论。

但一些制片厂对参与此类技术持谨慎态度，因为谷歌提出的条款过于苛刻。例如，消息人士称，一些公司被要求在参与肖像检测技术时，放弃起诉谷歌的权利。

在好莱坞， 在艺人群体中引发了深层的恐惧。演员和编剧表示，他们的作品在未经许可或未获得补偿的情况下被用于训练 模型。视觉效果等领域的其他好莱坞从业者则担心这项技术会取代他们的工作。

制片厂已与编剧、导演和演员签署了包含 保护条款的合同，并关注这些担忧。与此同时，制片厂也不希望在能够使流程更快、成本更低的技术浪潮中掉队。

演员工会 SAG-AFTRA 的全国执行董事兼首席谈判代表邓肯·克拉布特里-爱尔兰（Duncan Crabtree-Ireland）表示，到目前为止，还没有任何一家主要制片厂通知该工会与 公司签署了新的授权协议，而根据他们与工会的协议，这是必须履行的义务。

“这些公司在该领域大多采取谨慎行动，”克拉布特里-爱尔兰说，“他们正确地认识到这里存在许多潜在陷阱，不仅涉及创意人才及其权利和表演，还涉及其他类型的创作。这也是为什么我们看到该领域的交易进展速度较为缓慢，以便能够仔细考虑其影响。”

迪士尼在 7 月将其加速器计划地名录中加入了 Promise 和 Open Art 等 公司。3 月，Netflix 以 5.87亿美元 收购了本·阿弗莱克（Ben Affleck）的 电影技术初创公司 Inter-Positive。

“我们已经从‘是否要使用 ’的疑问阶段，进入到了‘我们将如何使用 ’的阶段，”罗森伯格（Rosenberg）说道。

尽管面临特朗普的压力，拉丁美洲仍不会抛弃中国

作者：米·达尔（MIE DAHL） 及 考伦·墨菲（COLUM MURPHY）

作为一个代表哥伦比亚各城市的协会负责人，安德烈斯·圣玛丽亚·加里多（Andrés Santamaría Garrido）能够近距离观察中国在市政层面的经济策略。

圣玛丽亚坐在他位于波哥大市中心的办公室里，办公室内摆放着该市红色地铁列车的模型——这是一个由中国主导的财团负责建设的项目。他将北京的商业外交描述为具有进攻性、实用且难以忽视。

他说，中国公司价格更低，更有韧性，且合作起来更简单。他们还愿意绕过国家政府，直接与州长、市长、当地商业团体和市政官员打交道。这位 Asocapitales 的执行董事表示，结果就是他们正日益将美国的竞争对手甩在身后。

“中国将迎来技术上的突破口，因为他们在这些领域确实更先进，”圣玛丽亚说道，并将自动驾驶汽车、机器人技术和无人机列为中国的专业领域。

这触及了特朗普总统及其扩展美国对西半球控制计划所面临的困境核心。尽管总统可以指出，通过从阿根廷到秘鲁的一系列结盟领导人，美国在确保政治影响力方面取得了显著进展，但他建立美国经济主导地位的驱动力被证明要难以实现得多。

本活动由洛杉矶时报工作室（LA Times Studios）制作，不涉及《洛杉矶时报》的编辑人员。

原因之一是，中国在拉丁美洲多年来建立的从港口到能源和矿业的投资概况规模太大且根深蒂固，该地区的政府无法仅仅根据美国政府的一时兴起就将其抛弃。与此同时，北京通过向电动汽车、电池和数据中心等价值链上游领域转移，成功地比华盛顿领先了几个步骤。

这就是为什么厄瓜多尔总统丹尼尔·诺沃亚（Daniel Noboa）——一位全力支持与美国安全伙伴关系的特朗普盟友——刚刚结束了为期一周的中国访问，期间包括与习近平主席的会晤。诺沃亚赢得了扩大太阳能发电的承诺，以及通过中国 AI 驱动的气象系统支持厄瓜多尔应对厄尔尼诺现象的承诺。

这说明了尽管美国施加了政治压力，但特朗普所谓的门罗主义（Donroe Doctrine）在经济维度上仍然未能实现。

墨西哥驻华大使赫苏斯·塞阿德（Jesús Seade）表示，与北京的经济联系总体上“没有受到”特朗普半球霸权计划的影响。他强调了中国在贸易、技术、投资和创新方面的影响力，并表示：“这一切仍处于政治领域。”

遏制北京对战略资产主导地位的推动，一直处于特朗普版门罗主义的核心。在第二任期的就职演说中，特朗普声称中国正在运营巴拿马运河，并断言美国正在“将其夺回”。国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）随后表示，“中国的影响力不能控制我们的后院。”

11 月发布的 33 页美国国家安全战略在专门讨论西半球的章节中将这一学说成文，阐明了政府“恢复美国卓越地位”的目标。

特朗普可以为其议程指出一些明显的政治成功，包括将尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）从委内瑞拉抓走，孤立古巴，并在阿根廷中期选举前立即通过 $20-billion 的货币掉期来支持哈维尔·米莱（Javier Milei）总统。在短短一年多时间里，七个拉丁美洲国家举行了总统选举，支持特朗普的候选人全部获胜，最近一次是在哥伦比亚。

但除了挑战少数几个中国旗舰项目（包括总部位于香港的长江和记实业在巴拿马运河的存在，以及秘鲁 $1.3-billion 的钱凯巨型港口）之外，美国遏制中国经济扩张的努力成效有限。

“无论美国的姿态如何日益具有强制性，中国的经济权重使其不可替代，”与中国共产党关系密切的人民大学国际发展研究院副院长崔守军表示。

他表示，近期一批与特朗普结盟的领导人虽然产生了亲美的言论，但“经济现实始终在抵消意识形态的转变”，并将特朗普的施压战术与中国在该地区采取的“互利”方式进行了对比。

尽管对美国的意图表达了不满，但中国并未因此从拉丁美洲撤退。不过，这并不意味着中国在忽视美国的担忧。

民意调查似乎证实了这一点。

近年来，商业重心向中国的转移十分剧烈。中国与拉丁美洲的货物贸易额已从2000年的约140 亿美元 billion增长到2024.的5000 亿美元 billion以上。中国已取代美国成为南美洲最大的贸易伙伴，尽管华盛顿在墨西哥、中美洲以及加勒比海大部分地区仍占据主导地位。

尽管北京方面已经

原籍厄瓜多尔、现驻北京的政治风险分析师克里斯蒂安·雷耶斯（Christian Reyes）表示，中国正变得更加谨慎，在保护现有资产的同时，在寻求新机会的方式上更具适应性。

中国也正在从那些抢眼的大型基础设施项目，转向在经过数十年深耕的领域中通过更低调的交易来推进。

位于巴西亚马逊地区、距离州首府马瑙斯（Manaus）向北约200英里的皮廷加（Pitinga）锡矿表明，中国如何通过布局技术性强、位置偏远且较难引发外交争端的资产，继续加强对关键矿产和稀土的掌控。

当秘鲁的Minsur公司于2024, 11月同意出售Mineracao Taboca公司时，中国国企中国五矿（CNMC）出价高于竞争对手，以约$340 million的价格收购了该公司。除了皮廷加的锡矿业务外，该公司还获得了获取更广泛战略矿产和稀土元素的潜在机会。

一位评估过Mineracao Taboca且要求匿名的巴西投资者表示，从传统条件来看，该资产缺乏吸引力，将其描述为一家接近盈亏平衡点的锡业公司，且面临严重的环保债务、沉重的支出需求以及有限的收益前景。

但中国五矿愿意承担这一风险。今年1月，这家矿业公司宣布了一项$100-million的计划，用于现代化运营和扩大生产，从而加深了对皮廷加的押注。

相比之下，美洲对话（Inter-American Dialogue）亚洲与拉丁美洲项目的资深顾问玛格丽特·迈尔斯（Margaret Myers）表示，特朗普政府缺乏一个针对该地区的连贯经济参与战略。

她说：“中国在该地区的影响力源于多种因素，尤其是贸易。当然，领导者在做出政治决定时，必然会考虑到他们最大的贸易伙伴。”

中国在南美主要市场的电网、配电和发电资产中拥有深厚根基。在智利，中国公司控制了超过一半的电力传输与配电；而在秘鲁首都利马，两家中国国企目前为该市1000 万居民提供电力配送。

特朗普的保护主义转向在巴西产生了意想不到的效果，增强了中国在拉丁美洲最大经济体中的吸引力。巴西与墨西哥一样，是该地区两个主要抵制其要求顺从压力的国家之一。

中国的推进在很多时候可能是刻意低调的，但其对该地区消费经济的渗透则大张旗鼓、色彩鲜明，且日益难以回避。

在巴西，比亚迪（BYD）在每个州、每个首府和每个主要城市都设有经销商，并向黄金时段电视节目、肥皂剧和足球赞助投入巨资。巴西人的手机正变得越来越“中国化”：在线购物有Shein、AliExpress、Temu和TikTok Shop；网约车有滴滴的99；外卖则有99Food和美团的Keeta。

中国还通过赠礼来赢得好感。在纳伊布·布克尔（Nayib Bukele）领导的萨尔瓦多首都圣萨尔瓦多，一座光辉的国家图书馆在总统府附近拔地而起，起重机正在建设一座50,000个座位的足球场，施工队正在为一座会议中心平整土地——这些全部由中国捐赠。

由美国领导的“美洲之盾”（Shield of the Americas）联盟——其成员包括阿根廷、玻利维亚、智利、厄瓜多尔、萨尔瓦多、圭亚那和巴拿马——对于那些希望通过该机制深化与华盛顿地区安全合作的政府来说具有吸引力。然而，其所有成员国仍继续依赖中国的贸易、融资或投资。

特朗普正花费数十亿美元以逆转美国的进步

海军改进的航空母舰起飞系统耗时数十年才建成。我们为什么要回到旧方法？

特朗普总统已命令海军制定一项计划，将未来福特级航空母舰上用于起飞飞机的电磁弹射器更换回传统的蒸汽弹射器。如果新技术失败了，这样做或许有意义。但事实并非如此。

“杰拉尔德·R·福特”号（USS Gerald R. Ford）是美国第一艘采用电磁而非蒸汽动力起飞飞机的航母。海军花费了数十年时间开发这项技术，包括在岸上对全尺寸系统进行多年的测试，然后才将其安装在福特号上，并使其成为后续航母的标准配置。海军做出这一改变是有原因的：电磁弹射的设计旨在处理从轻型无人机到重型打击战斗机的所有机型，且比蒸汽弹射器需要的维护和人力更少。

实现这一目标的过程极其困难。电磁系统造价昂贵，且在多年间饱受可靠性问题的困扰。但海军解决了这些问题。如今，该系统已在福特号（首艘配备该系统的美国现役航母）上成功起飞了数万架飞机，且海军的测试表明，该舰的飞机起飞率高于其所取代的旧型航母。海军忍受了多年的成本增加和进度延迟以完成这次技术转型——并且取得了成功。

在第四艘福特级航母上回归蒸汽弹射器，无法挽回已经投入的时间或资金。制造该系统的通用原子公司（General Atomics）表示，该舰近一半的电磁弹射设备已经生产完成。改变方向意味着放弃部分已完成的工作，重新设计一艘已经围绕电磁弹射构建的舰船，重建福特级本应取代的蒸汽弹射供应链，并为一艘已经进度落后数年的航母增加新的成本和延迟。

美国人为了前进支付了一次费用。现在，我们将为了后退再次付费。

联邦政府并非仅在海军领域花费资金来逆转方向。仅在今年，特朗普政府就承诺投入近 40 亿美元 billion，以说服能源公司放弃他们已经付费追求的离岸风电项目。在最近的一项协议中，如果能源公司 RWE 放弃三项离岸风电租赁权并退出其计划开发的项目，政府将向其返还 12.2 亿美元 billion。

虽然具体细节与航空母舰不同，但其财务逻辑惊人地相似。纳税人正投入数十亿美元，让美国潜在的风能生产消失。政府曾帮助铺平通往新技术的道路，随后公共和私人资金随之而来。而现在，政府又在花费额外的资金来逆转方向。

“杰拉尔德·R·福特”号是美国第一艘采用电磁方式起飞飞机的航母。 RIDGE LEONI 美国海军 / 美联社

特朗普将他对海军已经取代的蒸汽系统的偏好描述为“常识”，这在一定程度上基于多年前与一名水手的对话，对方告诉他蒸汽动力更好。他在谈论风能时也持有同样的确定性，宣称它“行不通”。当总统花费我们的数十亿美元将这些直觉转化为政策时，他的个人直觉无法替代工程证据和经济分析。

对纳税人资金的保守管理意味着保护成功的投资，而不是再花费数十亿美元去撤销它们。对于一个将消除政府浪费作为其既定优先事项之一的政府来说，这一点应该尤为明显。

海军的经验也说明了为什么政府有时会接受推进技术的成本和风险。蒸汽弹射器虽然有效，但它是一项成熟的技术，且存在海军认为电磁发射可以克服的局限性。从那个经过验证的系统转向一个更新的系统，在承诺的优势得以实现之前，需要巨大的前期投资。这一转型过程困难、昂贵，且有时管理不善。但它最终取得了成功。

这就是政府最初投资新兴技术的原因之一。新技术通常必须跨越研究、基础设施和启动成本的“弓波”障碍，其优势才能在大规模应用中得以实现。公共投资可以帮助弥补这一差距。

新政府有权决定此类支持是否已经过头。补贴可以到期，未来的税收激励可以改变，失败的项目可以且应该被放弃。但一旦纳税人帮助一项技术跨过了那个昂贵的门槛，且该技术已被证明是成功的，那么改变方向就意味着再次花钱去撤销他们已经资助过的转型。就福特级航母而言，政府尚未发现任何能够证明回归蒸汽动力具有合理性的运行改进。

同样的原则以不同的方式适用于海上风电、太阳能和电动汽车。政府的支持帮助这些技术克服了巨大的前期成本，并使其在大规模应用中变得可行。它们早已过了证明其可行性的阶段；现在的合法辩论集中在扩展速度快慢、仍需要多少公共支持，以及哪些具体投资具有经济意义。

中国已经看到了这些投资的战略价值。其在可再生能源、电池和电力基础设施方面的大规模建设，使其在面对伊朗战争引发的油价飙升时，脆弱性降低了。成功的长期投资在危机到来之前创造了韧性。

停止对政府支持技术的未来支持可能是一个合理的政策选择。但花费数十亿美元来逆转已经取得的进展，需要一个能够证明其合理性且足以抵消增加成本的明确收益。特朗普政府并未给出这样的理由。

美国需要更多的能源、更强大的军队、现代化的基础设施，以及在未来数十年保持技术竞争力的能力。我们已经支付了数十亿美元向前推进。我们应该投资于这种进步，而不是花钱买回起点。

逮捕人数激增引发质疑

关于 8 月 26 日《7 月 ICE 逮捕人数激增至近 50,000 人》一文

一年多以前，特朗普总统的国土安全顾问斯蒂芬·米勒（Stephen Miller）曾表示，他的目标是移民局每天逮捕 3,000 人。现在，《洛杉矶时报》报道称，移民与海关执法局（ICE）在 7 月份逮捕了近 50,000 人，这让我心中产生了几个疑问。

这些逮捕行动中涉及儿童的比例是多少？截至今日，被捕者中有多少人已被遣返，分别被遣返至哪些国家？按州分，目前仍被拘留的人员被关押在何处？

安置一名成年人的每月费用是多少？同样，安置一名儿童的费用又是多少？拘留的平均时长是多少？

被拘留者中有多少比例此前有刑事犯罪记录？有多少被拘留者在未采取进一步行动的情况下被释放？在拘留期间，有多少人曾在移民法官面前出庭？

美国公众需要这些以及其他问题的答案。调查记者应当追踪这些信息。

在推行其移民打击行动时，特朗普承诺 ICE 将只寻找并遣返“最糟糕中的最糟糕”。而现在，我们读到的故事却是，当一名守法的年轻居民或年迈的祖父母被以令人恐惧的细节追踪抓捕时，家庭被撕裂。

现在，《时报》的一则标题告知我们，ICE 7 月的逮捕人数激增至近 50,000 人。

如果特朗普认为每月逮捕（并可能遣返）50,000 人就是在清除“最糟糕中的最糟糕”，那么他对

关于 8 月 25 日《被遣返者在利比里亚拒绝下机》一文

读报时，我会有很多反应。有时我会笑，有时我会愤怒，有时我会好奇。但直到现在，我从未被一个故事如此深刻地触动到竟然流泪。

我的心与那六位在利比里亚拒绝下飞机的人们在一起，他们显然被告知将被送回美国，结果却发现自己身在赤道几内亚，将被隔离在条件恶劣的酒店中。

想到那个带着造口袋被送入那种境地的男人，我就心有戚戚。

想到我的部分税金在为这种行为买单，我也感到羞愧和愤怒。

关于 8 月 26 日《陆军中士之妻被遣返》一文

美国陆军中士赫达尔·莱昂内尔·图尔西奥斯·胡亚雷斯（Hedar Leonel Turcios Juarez）的困境，又是另一个令人作呕且荒诞至极的故事，这是由特朗普针对那些尚未完善合法居留身份的移民所发起的肆虐行动造成的。图尔西奥斯·胡亚雷斯的妻子被遣返回洪都拉斯，他现在必须在履行军务的同时，独自照顾他们 6 岁的女儿。

克里斯蒂·玛丽奥里·比利亚弗兰卡-特雷霍（Cristy Maryori Villafranca-Trejo）在美居住 10 年且无犯罪记录，她显然在 2017 年未收到遣返听证会的通知，这对夫妇直到 2022 年结婚后才得知她的遣返令。在寻求可用救济手段并希望与丈夫和女儿（均为公民）团聚时，她被抓获并被送回洪都拉斯。

给一个守法家庭带来的痛苦和折磨，远超将一名试图在所谓的自由之地完善居留权的母亲和妻子踢出去的任何逻辑或正当必要性。指望总统会对他的大规模遣返政策（主要针对少数群体）如今造成的无辜生命毁灭产生哪怕一丝在意，也是绝无希望的。但也许政府或国会的其他成员可以退一步思考，意识到这些行为与一个自由且体面的美国背道而驰——在这个美国，守法居民和服务成员应当获得安置和感谢，而不是被惩罚，被像动物或暴力罪犯一样对待。

这并非选民所批准的内容

关于 8 月 27 日的《连任尝试面临法院挑战》一文

《洛杉矶时报》关于商业市（City of Commerce）三届任期限制的报道，提出了一个关于选民在 2022 年批准 SL 法案时所认可的措辞的重要问题。

商业市将该法案列入选票是为了遵守州选举法并延长现任市议员的任期，而非授予额外的任期。

正如《惠蒂尔日报》（Whitter Daily News）所报道，市检察官在投票前发布的一份公正分析指出，SL 法案将“保留禁止任何人担任超过三个完整任期的规定”。随后由市书记员提交并经市检察官批准的一份报告甚至以伊万·阿尔塔米拉诺（Ivan Altamirano）的市议会服务经历为例，指出该修正案将允许这位最近连任的议员任职“直到 2026 年完整任期结束”。

选民们不应在事后被改写其决定的含义。

善举无处不在

关于 8 月 21 日“观点之声”专栏的《维系美国的善与恶》一文

也许美国并没有分崩离析。也许我们只是观察的角度太远了。

在阅读了 LZ·格兰德森（LZ Granderson）关于横跨全国的叙述后，这个想法变得清晰起来。今年夏天，作为“善良美国”（United States of Kindness）运动的一员，我花了 30 天骑行从西雅图前往华盛顿。这是一个鼓励美国人践行并记录善举的运动。我认出了格兰德森所遇到的那个美国，包括贫困、政治分歧以及那些感觉被遗忘的地方。但我的经历让我不再过多思考什么在分裂美国，而更多地思考什么在维系美国。

在每一次互动中，我们都瞥见了所经过的社区以及散布在全美各地的希望之光。

一旦我们开始寻找善良，它似乎无处不在。与陌生人共进晚餐。被邀请进入人们的家中。一名路人确保我们有足够的水。

就个体而言，这些时刻无法解决美国的问题。但聚集在一起，它们提醒我们什么可以解决问题。

“神奇巴士”图像冒犯拉美裔

如果共和党想在期中选举中保住国会，就需要请求原谅。

如果你想寻找特朗普政府与拉美裔之间日益扩大的鸿沟的证据，只需看看加州州参议员苏泽特·马丁内斯·瓦拉达雷斯（Suzette Martinez Valladares）与白宫发言人劳伦·比斯（Lauren Bis）对同一张反拉美裔图像的不同反应。

上周，这张图被发布在白宫的社交媒体账号上，它是对20世纪90年代深受喜爱的PBS动画片《神奇校车》（The Magic School Bus）标志的改编。

同样的欢快字体，同样在宇宙中疾驰的黄色巴士，同样是对古怪教师弗里兹尔女士（Ms. Frizzle）及其可爱的变色龙助手利兹（Liz）的描绘。但乘客不再是一群准备开启新冒险的快乐孩子，而是五个被戴上手铐、皮肤棕色、留着胡须、低头沮丧的男人，除了T恤颜色外，他们看起来完全一样。

在这幅毫无灵魂的场景两侧，写着“神奇驱逐巴士”——懂了吗？哈哈！白宫发布这张插图是为了配合8月24日福克斯新闻的一条头条新闻，该新闻赞叹移民与海关执法局在过去两周内于华盛顿特区地区逮捕了“令人瞠目结舌数量”的非法移民。

该帖子是特朗普政府分享的一系列种族主义、反移民图像中的最新一篇。但这一次的情况如此糟糕，以至于连马丁内斯·瓦拉达雷斯都感到被冒犯，她是一名共和党人，其选区从格雷普Vine延伸至维多利亚维尔（Victorville）。

“执行移民法和保障边境安全并不是反拉美裔。但这张图像是不必要且毫无帮助的，”她告诉我。“我们可以在强烈支持边境安全的同时，期望我们的政府在传达这些政策时，不要将一个群体简化为刻板印象。严厉打击非法移民并不需要将拉美裔变成

沙斯塔县敦促调查隔离选票的登记员

作者：海莉·布兰森-波茨（HAILEY BRANSON-POTTS）

在沙斯塔县最高选举官员宣布计划雇用一名曾因篡改投票机而服刑的选举否认者几天后，该县领导人向州和联邦当局发出了一个不同寻常的请求：请来调查。

该县周二下午发布的一份声明称，选民登记员克林特·柯蒂斯（Clint Curtis）就他负责管理并认证的6月初选提出了“轻率”的指控和“未经证实的陈述”。

该县副首席执行官斯图尔特·布埃特尔（Stewart Buettell）发布的声明中写道：“本县谴责选民登记员的行为，并邀请所有相关的州和联邦机构审查他提出的指控，并主动调查他作为沙斯塔县选举官员的官方行为和实践。”

柯蒂斯——他的名字也出现在选票上，但在那场竞选中落败——将初选选票隔离在雷丁（Redding）选举办公室的一个房间里，并用锁、胶带和写有“根据选民登记员克林特·柯蒂斯要求，禁止入内”红字标牌封死了房门。

夏库尔审判辩方：不要信任我的当事人

作者：理查德·温顿（RICHARD WINTON）

迈克尔·桑夫特（Michael Sanft）是涉嫌策划谋杀图帕克·夏库尔（Tupac Shakur）之人的辩护律师，他发现自己处于一个像是《法律与秩序》剧集中的境地。

他必须说服陪审团忽略他的当事人所做的不利陈述。桑夫特在每一句话中都在主张，杜安·戴维斯（Duane Davis）是一个不可信的骗子。

这一切始于开庭陈述，当时桑夫特在陪审员的屏幕上闪现了“bulls—”（胡说）这个词，指的不是检察官，而是戴维斯本人。随着拉斯维加斯的审判于周一结束，这种情况仍将持续。

法律专家称这是一种新颖的策略，但也许是让陪审员忽略在警方采访和一部纪录片中听到的、由戴维斯亲口说出的众多陈述的最佳机会。

对于这种辩护挑战，实际上有一个专业术语：夸大（puffing），即声称刑事案件是基于当事人的夸张之词。

“当你的当事人接受两次警方采访并出版一本书，做出损害性的承认时，他要么是个骗子，要么是有罪；只能在两者中选一个，”为知名客户提供辩护的律师格伦·乔纳斯（Glen Jonas）说道，“关键在于在真相的限制范围内，利用你现有的条件建立合理的怀疑。”

乔纳斯表示，当控方的案件严重依赖于被告的话语，而非明确的实物证据或科学证据时，“夸大”可以成为一种有效的工具。

“辩护律师主张其当事人是个骗子是非常罕见的，”洛杉矶辩护律师卢·夏皮罗（Lou Shapiro）说，“但有时事实和情况确实需要这样做。”

戴维斯一直是内华达州检察官的关键证人，控方将其案件的大部分篇幅仅用于复述这名谋杀嫌疑人关于1996年拉斯维加斯大道附近一起开车枪击杀害说唱巨星事件的言论。

戴维斯曾广泛谈论他在本案中的角色，包括接受洛杉矶警方和媒体的采访，在2019年的一本揭秘书中，以及在为了推广该书而进行的几次吹嘘式采访中。

在他的回忆录《康普顿街传奇》（Compton Street Legend）中，戴维斯说他和他的团队当时在拉斯维加斯，计划观看迈克·泰森（Mike Tyson）对阵布鲁斯·塞尔登（Bruce Seldon）的比赛。他们得知戴维斯的侄子奥兰多·“宝贝莱恩”·安德森（Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson）在[见 Shakur, B2]的大堂行走时，遭到了马里恩·“苏格”·奈特（Marion “Suge” Knight）的死亡之行唱片公司（Death Row Records）阵营成员的袭击。

对抗特朗普针对邮寄投票发起的疯狂战争

萨克拉门托

今年秋天，加利福尼亚州可能会上演一些荒诞的戏剧：县检察官可能会指控联邦邮政局长犯有重罪，理由是他们服从了特朗普总统扣押选民邮寄选票的命令。

那么，特朗普是否会将加州国民警卫队联邦化，以保护他的邮政局长免受那些执意将他们押入监狱的当地警长的逮捕？

在阅读了正在州议会快速通过的立法后，我不禁产生这样的疑问。

这一切似乎都不太可能发生，但在这样一位疯狂的总统及其保守派最高法院的掌控下，几乎没有什么事是确定的——除了混乱。

$10 tickets for low-income fans at Hollywood Bowl

洛杉矶爱乐乐团将向 Medi-Cal 或 EBT 卡持有者提供 $10 的门票。上图为上个月该场馆的情况。 ARIANA DREHSLER 为《时报》拍摄

作者：Deborah Vankin

想象一下，在好莱坞碗（Hollywood Bowl）的星空下，伴随着夜空中绽放的烟花，欣赏洛杉矶爱乐乐团的“盛大”周六之夜演出——而票价仅需 $10？

这并非白日做梦。

洛杉矶爱乐乐团在扩大其可及性方面迈出了重要一步。该乐团上周宣布，从 2027 赛季开始，将向持有有效 Medi-Cal 或 EBT 卡的洛杉矶县居民提供 $10 的洛杉矶爱乐乐团好莱坞碗演出门票。

在乐团的每场好莱坞碗音乐会上，将至少提供 100 张此类门票。门票将采取先到先得的方式发放。洛杉矶爱乐乐团尚未说明符合条件的居民如何获取此类门票，计划在赛季开始前的春季公布具体流程。

洛杉矶爱乐乐团社区与政府参与副总裁辛西娅·富恩特斯（Cynthia Fuentes）在一次采访中表示，该组织“长期以来一直将可及性放在优先位置”。

“当你创建可及性计划时，必须非常有目的性，”富恩特斯说。“人们现在确实在为维持生计而苦苦挣扎，对我们来说，不仅在舞台上创作伟大的音乐很重要，让人们能负担得起观看这些音乐同样重要。你的收入水平不应决定你是否能接触到艺术。”

富恩特斯表示，在好莱坞碗观看该乐团演出的门票平均价格约为 $48, 而此次宣布的 $10 门票是让洛杉矶爱乐乐团活动变得更易触达的最新举措。

洛杉矶爱乐乐团自 20 世纪 70 年代以来一直提供折扣票。目前，该乐团每年提供超过 50,000 张 $1 的好莱坞碗门票——部分座位向公众开放，其他部分则由洛杉矶爱乐乐团与洛杉矶县监事会及洛杉矶县公园与娱乐管理局合作，发放给低收入学生、老年中心及其他有需要的人员。

去年，洛杉矶爱乐乐团将 $1 门票的数量从 36,000. 张增加到 55,000 张。此外，该乐团还通过“社区音乐会连接”（Community Concert Connections）计划向非营利组织提供数万张免费门票。

洛杉矶爱乐乐团在福特剧院（the Ford）的 2026 赛季首次推出了其新的可及性计划。该计划目前在福特剧院仍在运行。

“那是我们为洛杉矶爱乐乐团设立的试点计划，目的是将其在好莱坞碗实施，”富恩特斯说。“当我们开始研究 EBT 卡持有者门票时，[我们意识到] 许多博物馆都有这种做法，但在表演艺术组织中并不多见。部分原因是表演艺术采用的是有指定座位的票务结构，环境更受控。我们希望建立一套在后台执行该计划的基础设施。福特剧院是启动这一流程的绝佳方式——先在较小规模上实施，观察哪些有效，然后能够扩展到好莱坞碗。”

洛杉矶爱乐乐团正处于过渡期。丹尼尔·哈丁（Daniel Harding）将从 2027-28 赛季开始接替古斯塔沃·杜达梅尔（Gustavo Dudamel），担任洛杉矶爱乐乐团的新任音乐总监。他将负责华特迪士尼音乐厅和好莱坞碗的管弦乐节目编排。新任命的创意总监埃萨-佩卡·萨洛宁（Esa-Pekka Salonen）将于 10 月初 2026-27 音乐季开始时就职。他将指挥并策划订阅音乐会及多学科项目。安娜·汉德勒（Anna Handler）将从 2026-27 赛季起担任未来三年的驻团指挥。

“但古斯塔沃每年夏天都会回来在好莱坞碗进行一系列音乐会，今年 12 月也会在华特迪士尼音乐厅演出，”富恩特斯说。“他将继续在洛杉矶爱乐乐团保持影响力。”

好莱坞碗（Hollywood Bowl）的运营是由洛杉矶爱乐乐团（L.A. Phil）与县公园与娱乐管理局共同合作开展的。

洛杉矶县监察员凯瑟琳·巴格（Kathryn Barger）的管辖区包括好莱坞碗，她在的一份声明中表示，一个多世纪以来，洛杉矶爱乐乐团一直是“艺术领域的先驱”。她指出，其新的无障碍计划正是“这种创新与合作精神的延续”。

“好莱坞碗是洛杉矶县最珍贵的公共资产之一，”巴格说，“每一位居民都应该有机会体验它所提供的快乐、灵感和社区感。”

洛杉矶地区的其他几家文化机构也为电子福利转账（EBT）领取者提供免费或深度折扣的入场券。

“但在我们的研究中，我们没有发现其他任何洛杉矶县的表演艺术设施设有 EBT 计划，”富恩特斯（Fuentes）说。“我们的目标之一是将研究结果推广到实地分享，以便其他表演艺术非营利组织——尤其是总部位于洛杉矶县的组织——能够效仿，从而确保我们能为县内的每一个人创造无障碍环境。”

富恩特斯以自己的成长经历为例，阐述了艺术无障碍计划的重要性。

“我在南中央区长大，父母是工人阶级，家里有三个孩子，”她说。“当你没有可支配收入时，你就没有[观看艺术表演的]机会。每个人都应该有机会去看演出，在音乐中分享共同的体验，而无需担心没有足够的钱支付房租或房贷。”

夏库尔审判中的辩方：无视我的当事人

[夏库尔，见 B1] 的美高梅大酒店（MGM Grand）。

戴维斯表示，他和他的同伙出发寻找奈特和夏库尔。戴维斯在书中写道，他将交给他的枪扔到了那辆白色凯迪拉克车的后座上，当时安德森和迪安德雷·“德雷”·史密斯（Deandrae "Dre" Smith）就坐在车里。

他们发现死亡之行（Death Row）的车队停在红灯前，夏库尔正探出宝马车的车窗向粉丝挥手。

“图帕克做了一个不稳定的动作，开始伸手去座位下方……就在那时，枪战爆发了。我的人中有一个从后座抓起格洛克手枪开始还击，”戴维斯写道。

陪审团听取了超过八小时的访谈记录，其中包括一段 2008 年洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）联邦工作组的录音。

在录音中，戴维斯吹嘘自己就在那辆凯迪拉克车里，并表示由于他坐在前排乘客侧的远端，在特伦斯·“泡沫”·布朗（Terrence “Bubble Up” Brown）驾驶时，他将那把 40 口径的格洛克手枪递给了后座的安德森和史密斯。

“所以，奥兰多越过德雷对他开枪了？”一名洛杉矶警察局的侦探询问戴维斯。

“他向窗户倾斜；他摇下窗户，砰的一声，”戴维斯回答道，并称他盯着

奈特的眼睛，而夏库尔则仓促爬进后座。

他说，动机是为了报复在美高梅大酒店对他侄子的殴打。人们认为他并非开枪者，但检察官表示，根据内华达州法律，协助实施谋杀就足够定罪。

“我从未见过这样一个案件，检察官想要塑造被告的形象，而辩方却试图将其摧毁，”前联邦检察官尼玛·拉赫马尼（Neama Rahmani）表示。“检察官主张戴维斯是犯罪企业的指挥者和主谋。而辩方则主张戴维斯是一个满口谎言、‘满嘴胡话’的骗子。”

在传唤了 25 名证人并播放了数日的录音后，检察方完成了举证。辩方传唤了三名证人，重点采取两种主要策略。

一种是主张戴维斯在吹嘘，是为了让自己显得重要，因此不可信。戴维斯谈论这次杀人事件已有近二十年之久。

他在 2008 年打破沉默，当时洛杉矶警察局一个调查 1997 年发生在洛杉矶的克里斯托弗·华莱士（Christopher Wallace，又名 Biggie Smalls）谋杀案的联邦工作组对他进行了审问，并告知他，他们掌握了他销售足够数量 PCP（苯环己基哌啶）的证据，足以让他及其部分亲属被终身监禁。在他们对说唱企业展开敲诈勒索案调查期间，他们允许他进行一项提供证据的协议（proffer），以换取较轻的判决。

周四，桑夫特（Sanft）请一名拉斯维加斯大都会警察局的退休警官作证，称在洛杉矶警察局安排会面后，他在 2009 年审问了戴维斯，而检察官当时选择不对其起诉。

直到 2023 年，拉斯维加斯检察官才对他提起谋杀指控。

第二种辩护策略是质疑除了戴维斯的陈述之外，检察方实际上还拥有什么其他证据。

桑夫特传唤了一名拉斯维加斯大都会警察局退休的凶杀案侦探，承认没有 DNA、没有法医证据或目击者证词，且除了戴维斯本人之外，他从未让任何其他人证实戴维斯当时在凯迪拉克车内。

在内华达州，陪审员可以提问，因此辩方以此结束陈述。

“您能否核实并确认戴维斯先生在图帕克被谋杀的那晚确实在白色凯迪拉克车内？”一名陪审员问道。

退休侦探丹·隆（Dan Long）回答道：“是通过戴维斯先生告诉我他谋杀之夜在白色凯迪拉克车内，且枪击来自同一辆白色凯迪拉克车。”

法官询问桑夫特是否有后续问题，他问道：“除了戴维斯先生告诉您的内容之外，没有其他实际事实吗？”

“没有，”侦探回答道。

拉赫马尼表示，这一询问方向可能会在陪审团中产生效果。他指出，检察方一直无法用独立证据来证实戴维斯的供词——而两辆车中唯一的幸存者，时任死亡之行唱片公司老板奈特（当时驾驶宝马车并坐在夏库尔身边）并未出庭作证。

“要起诉一个几乎完全依赖于被告供词的 30 年前的陈年旧案是非常困难的，”他说道。

最终，结果可能取决于陪审团在多大程度上相信成为谋杀案被告之前的戴维斯。

“通常情况下，辩护律师不想告诉陪审团自己的当事人是个骗子，从而摧毁当事人的可信度。但在杜安·戴维斯的案件中，”这可能是最好的策略，”前洛杉矶县检察官德米特里·戈林表示。

如果陪审员不愿仅凭戴维斯的口供就定罪，那么物证——或者说物证的缺失——将成为关键。“只要有一名陪审员投票判定无罪，就会导致陪审团无法达成一致结论。”

特朗普的种族主义帖子是共和党的糟糕信号

[Arellano，见B1页] 一个讽刺画。”

马丁内斯·巴亚达雷斯并非普通的特朗普支持者。她是加州希斯潘尼克党团（California Hispanic Caucus）的共同主席，该党团代表该州共和党的拉丁裔立法者，成立于 2024 年创纪录的 9 名拉丁裔议员当选之后。该团体的创建反映了拉丁裔对特朗普支持的浪潮，这帮助他第二次入主椭圆形办公室，并颠覆了关于美国最大少数族裔的政治认知。

在期中选举临近且共和党需要特朗普的拉丁裔支持者维持党内统一之际，来自马丁内斯·巴亚达雷斯这样地位的政治人物的批评，理应在椭圆形办公室拉响警报，对吧？然而，毫无反应！

当我询问白宫关于“神奇驱逐巴士”是否具有反拉丁裔倾向时，发言人 Bis 在一份声明中抱怨称，我的询问是“媒体的又一次种族挑衅，他们只是在生气，因为白宫的社交媒体内容正推动美国人民就驱逐非法外籍人士展开讨论。难道《洛杉矶时报》真的在暗示从未有过仅由危地马拉人组成的驱逐航班吗？”

究竟是谁在进行种族挑衅？

在那张粗俗的图画中，没有任何内容表明危地马拉是“移民局弗里兹尔女士”及其被拘留者的最终目的地。这些男性的外貌是他们身为拉丁裔的唯一迹象——这正是特朗普的移民走狗们发誓自己绝不会采取的种族定型，尽管有充足的视频和音频证据证明事实相反。虽然拉丁裔长期以来在被驱逐者中占多数，但将巴士乘客描绘成“看起来”像拉丁裔的互换克隆体，是极其非人性化的——但这正是 MAGA 的常态。

不仅如此，随这幅令人作呕的插图而发布的福克斯新闻（Fox News）报道称，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）在华盛顿特区的行动除了抓获危地马拉人外，还抓获了牙买加人、洪都拉斯人和萨尔瓦多人。

众所周知，特朗普及其下属从不道歉，在面对事实时反而会为其愚蠢之举（pendejadas）辩护。那么，如果共和党希望在期中选举中保住国会并赢得其他关键选战，他们现在需要恳求拉丁裔的原谅，因为特朗普已经颠覆了棕色皮肤人群的生活，无论他们是移民还是美国本土出生。

两年前，近半数拉丁裔投票给特朗普，这是共和党总统候选人获得的最优结果。今年发布的一项项民调显示，情况对特朗普而言愈发糟糕，那些日子已像廉价食品一样成为了遥远的回忆。他的支持率——以及共和党对期中选举的希望——将继续萎缩，直到他花更多时间修复停滞的经济、结束在伊朗的泥潭并停止驱逐浪潮。

为了维持权力，特朗普需要激励拉丁裔支持他，投票支持他的议程并敦促他人效仿。相反，他面对的是像大卫·赫尔南德斯（David Hernandez）这样感到沮丧的支持者，他是洛杉矶县希斯潘尼克共和党俱乐部（Los Angeles County Hispanic Republican Club）的创始人兼主席，也是该俱乐部每周谈话广播节目的主持人。

赫尔南德斯表示，他在过度拥挤的医院和诊所看到了“不受控制”的移民带来的危险。他还认为，在加州州长竞选中，共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿（Steve Hilton）对民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉（Xavier Becerra）在拜登政府担任卫生与公众服务部部长期间涉嫌处理不当移民儿童的攻击，将继续成为“重点关注”的问题。

赫尔南德斯表示，“神奇驱逐巴士”对突出这些问题毫无帮助，并将其描述为“一个未能提出任何有效观点的不成熟漫画”。这位海军退伍军人进一步认为，更糟糕的是，它暗示移民局特工计划从学校抢走孩子。

“这个问题没有任何好笑之处，”赫尔南德斯补充道，“不应采取这种轻率的描绘方式。”

Bis 在回应中提及了赫尔南德斯和马丁内斯·巴亚达雷斯的想法，指出了他们的共和党身份，但未点名。

“坐上‘神奇校车’回你的祖国吧！”白宫发言人这样开始说道。只有她的内心知道，这句话是在呼应那条引起争议的社交媒体帖子，还是在不怀好意地建议我自我遣返到她认为我出生的那个鬼地方（顺便说一句，我是安纳海姆本地人）。

比斯（Bis）继续重复她之前的说辞，称特朗普政府只是在寻求“创新”与美国人的对话方式，而“我们遣返犯罪非法移民的努力也不例外”。

劳伦（Lauren），你真是太会倾听那些你老板在今年11月如此迫切需要的前线士兵们的顾虑了！

与其花更多时间构思那些像弱味莎莎酱一样乏味的反拉丁裔笑话，不如去改善拉丁裔的生活——这就是总统及其团队乐于沉溺其中的种族主义泥潭。

但他们对《神奇校车》那令人作呕的拙劣模仿中，有一点是对的。弗里兹老师经常将她的钢铁坐骑及其乘客缩小到微观尺寸，以便他们探索从未见过的领域。这听起来确实很像特朗普在拉丁裔群体中正经历的历史性崩盘，不是吗？

用弗里兹老师的口头禅来说：校车，开始你的表演吧。

大瑟尔附近顽固山火持续蔓延

救援人员在大瑟尔清理灌木。普拉斯基特火灾与廷伯火灾合计已烧毁超过 33,000 英亩土地。

作者：海莉·史密斯（Hayley Smith）

周日，救援人员继续在蒙特雷县大瑟尔附近与两场山火作斗争。这两场火灾合计已烧毁超过 33,000 英亩土地，并迫使 600 多人撤离。

美国林务局发言人李·拜尔（Lee Beyer）表示，猎特·利盖特堡（Fort Hunter Liggett）附近的普拉斯基特（Plaskett）火灾已蔓延至 1 号公路，且各侧仍“相当活跃”。这包括靠近洛斯布罗斯路（Los Burros Road）的南部周界，那里正威胁着房屋和建筑结构。

截至周日下午，该火灾过火面积为 8,241 英亩——高于周六的约 6,000 英亩——且控制率仅为 1%。

拜尔表示，600 多名消防员正从空中和地面协同扑救这场大火，他们在“极其陡峭且困难的地形”中工作。该地区的部分区域自 20 世纪 70 年代以来未曾起火，“因此这相当于一个 55 年之久的燃料床，由于其重量更重、更厚，且含有更多枯死成分，因此更难控制。”

1 号公路在小瑟尔河（Little Sur River）与三文鱼溪（Salmon Creek）之间实施封路，火灾附近的洛斯帕德雷斯国家森林（Los Padres National Forest）部分区域同样封路。

这是蒙特雷县目前燃烧的两场顽固大火之一。

廷伯（Timber）火灾于 8 月 8 日在普拉斯基特火灾以北约 30 英里处被点燃，截至周日下午，控制率为 21%。拜尔表示，由于烟雾和能见度问题，救援人员在数日内无法在火场上空飞行，但周六将其测绘面积确定为 24,839 英亩。

该火灾在所有方向上依然活跃——主要位于文塔纳荒野（Ventana Wilderness）境内，那里同样是偏远且崎岖的地形。

“在廷伯火灾初期，就很明显这场火灾的持续时间将以周而非天来计算，”蒙特雷县主管凯特·丹尼尔斯（Kate Daniels）在周日下午的一次社区会议上表示。“而现在看来，甚至可能会持续数月。”

湾区国家气象局气象学家罗杰·加斯（Roger Gass）表示，两场火灾上空的天气依然干燥，湿度仅为 16% 至 19%。

随着海雾层在下周进一步加深，海拔 2,000 英尺以下的地区预计将获得更多水分和湿度，但他表示，“在海洋影响范围之上，天气仍将相当温暖且干燥。”

加斯表示，救援人员可能会在未来几天受益于略微降低的气温，且预计两地的风况将保持相当平静。

目前，两场火灾的强制撤离令及警告依然有效。卡梅尔传教团旅馆（Carmel Mission Inn）和坎布里亚退伍军人纪念大楼（Cambria Veterans Memorial Building）已开设撤离避难所。

拜尔表示，据他所知，到目前为止还没有任何建筑被这两场大火摧毁，仅有几日前在廷伯火灾中被烧毁的一栋小型附属建筑。

约 2,192 名消防员被指派到廷伯火灾，661 名指派到普拉斯基特火灾，预计未来几天还将有更多人员抵达。

但由于救援人员需要应对多场山火，本季的资源已捉襟见肘，其中包括华盛顿州斯波坎（Spokane）发生的毁灭性火灾，该火灾烧毁了近 10,000 英亩土地并摧毁了约 900 栋建筑。

美国的国家山火准备等级处于 5 级，这是最高级别，反映出严重的山火活动和资源紧张。

“几乎整个夏天我们都非常忙碌，”拜尔说。

蒙特雷县这两场火灾的起因仍在调查中。

帕顿曾拥有的索尔万度假屋以近 200万美元 出售

作者：SUHAUNA HUSSAIN

乡村音乐偶像多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）于上周去世，享年 80 岁。她过去常在加利福尼亚州的索尔万（Solvang）度过部分周末。

从 2004 年到 2014 年，帕顿在距离洛杉矶西北约 130 英里的这个丹麦小聚居地拥有一栋 20 世纪 20 年代的农舍。

这处位于索尔万市中心 Alisal 路 561 号的房产包含三个单元，挂牌售价为 $1.9.95 亿。

房产前方的告示牌将其标注为她的前住所。根据房地产网站上发布的照片，粉丝们在那里留下了花束。

该房产是位于市中心区域的一栋三室两卫单户住宅，并带有两个独立的附属单元。附属单元包括一套三室两卫的公寓和一套较小的单室公寓。整个院落的总面积约为 2,500 平方英尺。

房门上方有一块写着“Dolly”并绘有黄色蝴蝶的彩色玻璃面板，以此向其前业主致敬。

现任业主克里斯·拉普（Cris Lapp）告诉《旧金山纪事报》，主楼的窗户从外部看具有反射效果，提供了额外的隐私保护。他告诉该报，他最初并不了解帕顿曾在此居住的历史。在得知后，他开始着手修复房产的部分区域。

这座城镇由丹麦移民于 1911 年建立，风景如画，遍布糕点店和风车。

索尔万市在社交媒体的一份声明中表示，帕顿多年来一直“低调地维护”着在这里的一处住所，使这个社区成为了她“非凡人生的一小部分”。

市政府在声明中表示：“我们很荣幸她选择在索尔万远离聚光灯度过时光。她在音乐、善良和慷慨方面留下的卓越遗产将影响世世代代。”

她还经常光顾加州沿海的商家，包括圣路易斯-奥比斯波（San Luis Obispo）的马多娜旅馆（Madonna Inn）。该旅馆在最近的一篇 Instagram 帖子中向帕顿致敬，写道她过去经常坐的那个金色卡座现在将被命名为“多莉卡座”。

Google 地图 多莉·帕顿在 2004 年至 2014 年间拥有的这栋农舍中度过了部分周末。

“多莉是马多娜旅馆珍视的朋友，”酒店在帖子中写道，“她多年来的到访创造了我们将永远铭记的回忆。”

BOILING POINT

关于白头海雕杰基遗骸去向的争论

作者：莉拉·赛德曼（LILA SEIDMAN）

当名雕杰基（Jackie）本月去世时，桑德拉·赛尔（Sandra Sehl）不知道她的遗骸将如何处理。

和许多人一样，53岁的赛尔是这只猛禽及其伴侣影子（Shadow）的忠实粉丝，这对海雕通过对其巢穴的不间断直播而闻名世界。这位康涅狄格州居民大约在七年前开始观看，这对搭档陪伴她度过了艰难时期，包括她母亲的去世——她的母亲曾任哈特福德鸟类学会（Hartford Audubon Society）主席，并将对观鸟的热爱传给了女儿。

赛尔得知杰基将被送往国家海雕存储库（National Eagle Repository）——全美几乎所有被回收的白头海雕和金雕尸体都是如此。20世纪70年代初，美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service）建立了该设施，旨在为联邦认可的美国原住民部落成员提供用于宗教用途的海雕羽毛、部分肢体或完整尸体。

这并非赛尔希望杰基面对的结局——而且她并非孤身一人。关于杰基命运的消息使其数百万计的粉丝群体产生了分歧。一些像赛尔一样的人希望杰基能回到她出生的大熊湖（Big Bear）故地。然而，包括运营该直播的非营利组织在内的许多其他人则认为，她理应由部落接管。

赛尔在 Change.org 发起了一项请愿，要求官员暂停计划，并确定杰基是否可以通过“适当的教育、科学、保护或纪念安排”被送回。该请愿已获得超过 2,600 个签名，类似的请愿也在网上流传。

在一次采访中，赛尔表示她设想将杰基制作成标本，并配以模拟巢穴，让人们能够“看到她并了解她的故事”。

“我只是想给她一个回家的机会，”她说，“我认为那是她想去的地方。”

另一位杰基粉丝谢里·格里芬（Sherri Griffin）在 Facebook 的一篇帖子中批评了那些要求给这只大熊湖猛禽特殊待遇的人。该帖子获得了超过 14,000 个赞。

她写道：“当请愿书开始要求杰基获得豁免——因为她出名，因为我们都爱她——我们中的几个人指出，这在功能上是在要求一项艰苦赢得的原住民法律权利向公众情绪低头……或者本质上就是结构性种族主义。”

在描述存储库的起源时，杰克·E·戴维斯（Jack E. Davis）在其 2022 年出版的《白头海雕》（The Bald Eagle）一书中解释说，1940 年通过的《白头海雕保护法》（Bald Eagle Protection Act）——是在 19 世纪这些鸟类遭到大规模屠杀后通过的——使许多美国原住民的传统行为成为了犯罪。（该法案在 1962 年扩大范围，将金雕也纳入其中。）

他写道：“尽管《白头海雕保护法》使这位翼之君主能够重新定居并建立新的海雕领地，但法律未能保护原住民与这种鸟类之间的传统关系。”例如，年轻的勒纳佩（Lenape）男子不再能攀登高山去获取海雕的尾羽。戴维斯将该存储库描述为“一个理解与解决之所，是美国对部落精神信仰和实践的切实承诺”。

虽然大多数海雕都会被送往存储库，但也有极少数例外。猛禽生物学家皮特·布鲁姆（Pete Bloom）曾成功申请研究一只 20 多岁去世的金雕骨骼中的铅含量，理由是其年龄较大。

“基本上我认同存储库的运作方式，但我认为它应该对特定案例稍微开放一些，”例如某些科学研究，他说道。然而，他表示为杰基破例可能会引发一系列麻烦。（记录在案的是，布鲁姆避免用名字称呼这只名雕，且反对给野生鸟类命名。）

其他海雕也曾在直播中担任主角，他预计这些鸟的粉丝也会提出类似要求。

被警员枪杀男子家属将获得数百万美元赔偿

作者：LIBOR JANY

家属律师表示，洛杉矶市已同意向一名男子的家属支付 $5.800 万。该男子在被一名洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）新警员致命枪击时，手中拿着一把塑料叉子，且正处于精神健康危机之中。

周四公布的这项和解协议，结束了杰森·马卡尼（Jason Maccani）的家属与市府律师之间就其 2024 年死亡事件而展开的为期两年的法律纠纷。大多数大额民事赔付需经市议会最终批准。

该事件引发了活动人士、市府官员以及时任警察局局长米歇尔·摩尔（Michel Moore）的广泛谴责，摩尔表示他对警员的行为感到“担忧”。

根据洛杉矶警察局和家属的诉讼，马卡尼，36, 在接近接警处理“致命武器袭击”报案的警员时被枪击，事发地点位于贫民窟（Skid Row）的一座仓库。在警员用 40 毫米发射弹击中马卡尼后，执法记录仪和监控录像显示，他手里拿着塑料餐具向六名警员和一名主管走去。

随后发生了肢体冲突，一名警员将马卡尼按在墙上。警方表示，警员卡莱布·加西亚-阿拉米拉（Caleb Garcia-Alamilla）在近距离开了一枪，子弹击中马卡尼右臂并进入其胸腔。

警方称，在击中马卡尼之前，子弹还擦过了主管杰弗里·庞扎兰（Jeffrey Punzalan）警长的手。

马卡尼的家属表示，他当时显然正处于双相情感障碍发作期；尸检结果显示，他死亡时体内没有药物成分。

马卡尼的母亲表示，虽然她很感激法院案件已经结束，但无论多少钱都无法让她的儿子回来。

“我对我们体制的运作方式感到非常失望。没有正义，因为没有问责，”珍妮特·马卡尼（Janet Maccani）说道，“我们收到的和解金并不能改变生活，但他们对我们所做的一切绝对改变了我们的生活。”

她说，马卡尼曾是一名明星高中橄榄球运动员且大学毕业——并非像一些早期警方陈述和新闻报道中所描述的那样是个流浪汉。

“他们最初塑造杰森形象的方式让我非常不安。他们说他是个什么样的无家可归的药瘾者，云云，”她说，“而且即使他是无家可归者（事实上他不是），这也没有关系，因为所有生命都至关重要。”

家属律师指出，开出致命一枪的警员加西亚-阿拉米拉已不再在警局任职。

代表警员处理民事事务的市检察官办公室未立即回应置评请求。

枪击发生时，加西亚-阿拉米拉入职不到一年。他事后表示，他将塑料叉子误认为武器。

在审查证据后，内部审查委员会在加西亚-阿拉米拉使用致命武力是否合理的问题上产生了分歧。最终，洛杉矶警察局局长吉姆·麦克唐纳（Jim McDonnell）裁定，该警员开枪的决定违反了部门政策。

州政府起诉特朗普干预邮寄投票

[Skelton，见 B1 页] 邮寄选票舞弊。

一名选举工作人员于 5 月 28 日在工业市（City of Industry）将邮寄选票移至分拣区，准备通过签名验证机进行审核。 GARY CORONADO 为《时报》拍摄

这同样是虚伪的，因为特朗普自己在佛罗里达州的选举中经常通过邮寄方式投票。

为什么邮寄投票对他来说没问题，而对其他美国人不行？“因为我是美国总统，”他告诉记者，“我有许多不同的事情”要处理。就好像我们其他人没事做一样。显然，投票只需要对他方便即可。

但特朗普执迷于试图为其虚假主张辩护，即乔·拜登在 2020 年选举中胜过他是因为选举被操纵。这简直病态。

这或许能讨好他的 MAGA 基础选民，但全美的民主党人和独立人士——尤其是在加利福尼亚州——对特朗普攻击其投票权的行径感到不满。他们支持邮寄投票。

根据皮尤研究中心（Pew Research Center）最近的一项调查，总体上，58% 的美国人支持允许通过邮寄方式投票。但两党之间存在巨大差异——83% 的民主党人和左倾独立人士支持邮寄投票，而 68% 的共和党人反对。

根据加州大学伯克利分校政府研究学院（UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies）最近的一项民调，在加利福尼亚州，72% 的所有选民赞成邮寄投票。但在意识形态上存在严重分歧：93% 的民主党人和 72% 的独立人士赞成，而 62% 的共和党人反对。

无论共和党选民如何告诉民调机构，他们绝大多数肯定是在通过邮寄方式投票。因为在 2024 年总统选举中，加利福尼亚州 81% 的所有选票是通过邮寄投出的。在今年的州长初选中，这一比例上升到了 89%。

今年 3 月，特朗普发布了一项行政命令，指示国土安全部编制各州合格公民选民名单，并命令美国邮政局仅处理名单上人员的选票。

天哪？让负责管理充满争议的移民与海关执法局（ICE）的国土安全机构，来决定谁有权在关键的中期选举中投票，这能出什么问题呢？

加利福尼亚州与几个蓝色州（民主党执政州）组成的联盟共同提起诉讼。

国家的奠基者在宪法中规定，州政府可以决定联邦选举的“时间、地点和方式”——除非国会想要修改规则。特朗普说服众议院通过了限制邮寄投票的立法，但该法案在参议院被民主党人拦截，最终夭折。

特朗普的行政命令是一次试图绕过国会、实质上由他个人制定法律的尝试。

最高法院上周以 6-3 的投票结果裁定，特朗普可以继续其规划。但由于在反对派提起诉讼时，政府尚未公布具体的监管条例，因此就其合宪性做出裁决还为时过早。

但现在，特朗普的严苛规则已经曝光。加利福尼亚州已加入其他州，提起了一项新诉讼。

“唐纳德·特朗普不管理选举。州政府才管理，”州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）宣布，“加利福尼亚州将继续在捍卫民主方面发挥领导作用。”

在州议会中，一项法案被提出，旨在将有权势的人员命令扣押选票（不将其递交给选民或不将其寄回当地选举官员）的行为定为重罪，最高可判处四年监禁。

比如邮局局长这样的人？还有谁能命令邮递员不要将选票递交给某些登记选民？

“这将由执法部门决定，”该法案的起草者、参议员艾莎·瓦哈布（Aisha Wahab，民主党-海沃德）表示，她刚刚当选，将接替辞职的美国众议员埃里克·斯沃尔韦尔（Eric Swalwell）完成当前任期。

“我的法案旨在保护所有选民。他们可能在度假，可能生病了。他们可能想提前投票或延迟投票。无论如何，他们依然拥有通过邮寄方式投票的权利。”

她的法案在 24 小时内迅速通过了三个议会委员会——民主党人投了赞成票，而共和党人投了反对票。

然而，这项措施不太可能导致任何邮政局长因服从总统而入狱。

首先，很难想象总统的行政命令会被判定为符合宪法——即便是在这个走狗法院中。

“特朗普试图在完全没有权力的情况下控制选举，”加州大学伯克利分校法学院院长欧文·切默林斯基（Erwin Chemerinsky）在上周发表于《时报》的一篇评论文章中写道。

如果最高法院令人震惊地裁定特朗普拥有该权力，那么他的邮政局长是否会根据新的州法律被逮捕？根据宪法的最高条款，答案似乎是“否”。联邦法律通常优先于冲突的州法律。

“行政命令不能取代州法律，”专门研究选举法的加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）教授里克·哈森（Rick Hasen）表示。“但存在各种豁免原则和其他原因，使得州政府很难起诉一名联邦官员在履行公务期间违反州法律。”

真正的答案应该是特朗普停止试图为那个仅存在于他扭曲想象中的选举问题构思解决方案。

拉曼被视为市长竞选中 DSA 背书的潜在人选

市议员尼蒂亚·拉曼（右）与洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯在 8 月 19 日于舍曼奥克斯举行的一场辩论会上。

[拉曼，见 B1] 关于 11 月 3 日决选的讨论是在闭门状态下进行的，随后开始了目前的在线投票。但这场辩论一直在一个较为冷门的平台上公开展开：即自称为“美国共产主义日报评论”的《鹅》（Geese）杂志。

该在线出版物的撰稿人们——其网站上声明“我们不对任何人负责”——数周以来一直在就 DSA 是否应该在尼蒂亚·拉曼挑战市长凯伦·巴斯的竞选中为其背书而展开激烈争论，拉曼本人也是 的成员。

事态在 8 月 11 日开始升级，当时《鹅》杂志发表了一篇 4,400 字的文章，支持 为拉曼背书，认为此举可以“为洛杉矶的社会主义打开闸门”。

这四位作者本身也是 -LA 的成员，他们承认拉曼“并非佐兰”——这里是指纽约市那位极具魅力的 市长佐兰·马姆达米（Zohran Mamdami）。他们承认她与该组织的关系有时较为动荡，尽管该组织在 2020 年和 2024 年的议员竞选中支持过她，但此前也曾对她进行过谴责，部分原因是她接受了一个亲以色列团体的背书。

尽管如此，文章作者赞扬了她在无家可归者问题和租户保护方面的工作。他们还称赞她在近几个月寻求与该组织加强合作，并聘请 -LA 成员领导她的竞选活动。

该团体写道：“这释放了一个信号，即有了 -LA 的背书，我们可以期待未来与尼蒂亚竞选团队开展更具建设性的协作。”

但另一组《鹅》杂志的撰稿人并不认同。8 月 24 日，另外五位同样是 -LA 成员的作者抨击了背书的想法，称拉曼尚未赢得这一支持。

这些作者指责拉曼投票确认前警长吉姆·麦克唐纳担任洛杉矶警察局局长，并寻求重新修订 ULA 法案（即所谓的豪宅税），因为她认为该法案阻碍了住房生产。作者还将她描述为在以色列加沙战争问题上与 的观点严重脱节。

该团体写道：“如果我们为拉曼背书——一位缺乏鼓舞人心的领导力以及作为强大 背书基础的协作政治关系的候选人——那么我们可能会在接下来的四年里陷入收拾残局的境地；去解释、辩护并围绕一位从一开始就从未对我们的民主社会主义运动承担实质性责任的市长的缺陷而组织活动。”

两天后，第三篇《鹅》杂志文章出现，认为拉曼是“能将我们的城市从这场危机中挖掘出来的书呆子”。这篇文章试图反驳前一篇论文中的部分批评，同时也承认拉曼可能“过度关注细节，稍微有些敏感，迟钝且好争论”。

该团体写道：“但请不要忘记，尼蒂亚同样拥有一长串积极的特质：她是一位卓越的行政管理者——通过细致的服务提供，将其管辖区内的无家可归者比例降低了 49%。”

第四篇同样支持拉曼的文章于周五发布。与此同时，巴斯在这一番交锋中也未能全身而退。

《鹅》杂志的撰稿人批评巴斯拒绝让市审计长肯尼斯·梅希亚审计她的“内部安全”无家可归者计划，称她表现出“对民主程序的漠视”。他们还就她处理帕利塞德火灾、利尼亚格火灾、警察开支及其他问题而对其发起抨击。

支持拉曼的反驳文章使用了最为激烈的措辞，指责巴斯被“商业利益、房东、劳工阶层中较为反动的部分以及少数自由派非政府组织所操纵”。

无论是在初选还是决选中，巴斯都没有寻求 的支持。但她确实得到了市议会中其他三名 成员的背书。

拉曼需要赢得 60% 的选票才能获得该背书。超过 6,000 名分会成员已收到包含在线选票的电子邮件。周二将是投票的最后一天。

“进度过慢”：Lineage 清理工作完成主要阶段

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI 洛杉矶时报 KAYLA BARTKOWSKI 洛杉矶时报 Lineage 目前面临一项为期七天的流程，用于清理碎片并对大型冷冻库进行高压冲洗和消毒。

作者：SUHAUNA HUSSAIN

在与腐臭味和错过的截止日期作斗争之后，博伊尔高地（Boyle Heights）的居民可能终于能获得一些缓解。空气质量监管机构周六确认，被烧毁的 Lineage 设施中数百万磅的腐烂食物已被清理完毕。

南海岸空气质量管理区（South Coast Air Quality Management District）表示，该公司对食品废弃物的清除标志着清理工作一个主要阶段的完成。自 6 月底仓库火灾被扑灭以来，该清理过程已拖延了两个多月。

空气质量监管机构周六派遣了一支执法团队对现场进行检查。随后，一项为期七天的流程开始启动，用于清除其他碎片并对巨大的冷冻库进行高压冲洗和消毒。

该仓库有两个冷冻库，分别位于建筑物的东侧和西侧。工人们在清理工作的早期阶段已经清空并消毒了东侧冷冻库，该冷冻库在火灾中基本被毁。

大量主要为肉类和海鲜的食物此前一直留在未受火灾影响的西侧冷冻库中。

洛杉矶市议员伊莎贝尔·胡拉多（Ysabel Jurado）表示，Lineage 已严重超出了市府规定的 8 月 14 日清除该冷冻库废弃物的截止日期。

“公共卫生截止日期应该具有实际意义，”胡拉多在周六的一份新闻稿中表示。“市府给了 Lineage 45 天的时间来清除生物危害食品废弃物；按照市府的时间表，今天已经是第 60 天。”

她表示，食品废弃物清除工作的完成是“进度过慢的进展”，而非“清理完成”。胡拉多还表示，“这不能抹去两个月以来臭味、害虫和混乱带来的影响。”

就 Lineage 而言，该公司对市府的截止日期提出了异议，认为其在 7 月 7 日之前无法开始清理工作，因此将 45 天的期限推迟到 8 月 20 日——而该公司同样超出了这个截止日期。

Lineage 在周六晚间的一封电子邮件声明中表示，食品清除工作是“每天数百名现场工人的努力结果，他们首先清除纸箱和托盘，然后在最后阶段用手工清除散落的食物碎片。”

该公司表示，预计在清理工作上总共将花费超过 1亿美元。

“此前从未执行过如此规模和速度的清理工作，我们已为这项工作投入了所有可用资源，”该公司表示。“在工作完成之前，我们不会停止。”

空气质量管理区表示，已收到 4,900 多起与 Lineage 仓库相关的异味投诉，“报告称存在持续的腐烂、酸臭和类似垃圾的异味”。

该机构已向该公司发出了 38 份关于公共滋扰的违规通知。

周五，三个社区团体向联邦法院提交了一份 60 天的起诉意向通知，准备起诉 Lineage。

这些团体指控该公司未披露火灾期间排放的所有化学物质，给当地居民带来了健康风险。

Lineage 未就这项新的法律行动做出回应。

空气质量监管机构表示，在消毒过程中，Lineage 需要维持负压环境并保持空气污染防治设备的运行，以帮助减轻烟雾影响。

县政府寻求对登记员进行审查

JASON ARMOND 洛杉矶时报 沙斯塔县（SHASTA COUNTY）表示无法解雇克林特·柯蒂斯（Clint Curtis），该登记员必须由选民通过罢免来撤职。

[选票，见B1] [选票，见B1] 称这些选票的外观、触感或气味不对，且他已指示设施工作人员将房间上锁并销毁钥匙，以便任何人试图进入时，都需要持有搜查令并使用断线钳。

柯蒂斯表示，他也请求联邦调查局（FBI）进行调查。

县政府则予以反击，在声明中表示，希望联邦调查局以及加利福尼亚州州务卿和总检察长调查柯蒂斯，后者担任登记员的短暂任期内充满了争议。

“柯蒂斯先生被任命是为了提高透明度，加强选举公正性，并恢复对民主进程的信任，”县政府写道。“虽然取得了一些进展，包括在选举办公室内部推动了有意义的监督，但柯蒂斯先生在其他核心职责方面出现了严重失败，破坏了他被任命时旨在维护的原则。”

目前无法立即联系到柯蒂斯以获取评论。联邦调查局在萨克拉门托的办事处表示无法发表评论。

沙斯塔县警长迈克尔·约翰逊（Michael Johnson）在周二的一份声明中表示，他“意识到了涉及 ROV 和选票的争议”，包括社交媒体上关于有人请求他“隔离锁在 ROV 办公室内的涉嫌非法或不合法选票 [以及] 处理威胁焚毁设施之言论”的说法。

约翰逊表示，柯蒂斯已同意就一名涉嫌威胁该设施的人员提供陈述，且该事件处于“活跃调查”中。

“警长认为联邦调查局（FBI）正在调查此事；因此，约翰逊警长敦促公众保持耐心，等待调查结果，”约翰逊写道。“在目前这个时间点，启动第二次调查可能会使已经启动的流程复杂化。”

在接受由 MAGA 阴谋论者、My-Pillow 创始人迈克·林德尔（Mike Lindell）创建的 Lindell TV 采访时，柯蒂斯表示，选票“被保存在我的办公室里，这有点问题，因为那是一栋非常旧的建筑，而且我们那里有很多 antifa（反法西斯主义）的人”，其中一人“曾评论过焚毁那栋建筑是多么容易”。

沙斯塔县的这场对峙发生之际，里弗赛德县警长查德·比安科（Chad Bianco）——他曾在 2 月使用武装副警没收了去年 50 号提案特别选举的 50 万多张选票，以确定其计票是否涉嫌欺诈——正在加利福尼亚州最高法院为该没收行为辩护。

最高法院的法官在 8 月 24 日连续两场听证会上严厉批评了比安科。比安科是一名共和党人，在今年春季竞争激烈的加利福尼亚州州长初选中排名第四。法官们似乎准备下令归还选票，并大幅限制警长强行夺取选举材料的权力。

最近，柯蒂斯因表示希望雇佣选举否认者蒂娜·彼得斯（Tina Peters）而成为全国新闻头条。彼得斯曾任科罗拉多州的一名县书记员，在特朗普总统的压力运动下，于今年夏天提前出狱。

今年 2 月，柯蒂斯是第一个公开宣布比安科计划没收选票的人。

潜在的雇佣计划引发警钟

柯蒂斯本人长期以来一直否认选举结果，他在给《时报》的一封电子邮件中表示，他希望聘请彼得斯担任顾问，“以协助监督11月的选举”。

柯蒂斯曾与一个里弗赛德县的公民团体合作，该团体提出的欺诈指控引发了比安科的调查，他甚至曾向南旅行600英里为他们发声。

他写道：“我们的顾问都没有权限访问投票系统，因此她将免受虚假指控的影响。”

彼得斯在2024年被定罪并被判处九年监禁，原因是她为了证明2020年选举针对特朗普而操纵（这一说法已被多次揭穿），非法入侵了其所在县的投票机。

她被裁定有罪，原因是她在2021年帮助一名外部计算机专家（林德尔的一名合伙人）未经授权访问梅萨县的Dominion选举设备，并在软件升级前后对其硬盘进行了复制。

彼得斯于6月出狱。在受到总统数月的纠缠后，科罗拉多州民主党州长贾里德·波利斯减刑了她的句子。

州务卿雪莉·韦伯（Shirley Weber）收到通知，称他们对柯蒂斯聘请彼得斯的计划表示“严重关切”。

他们写道：“我们担心沙斯塔县的这一雇佣决定与彼得斯女士的资历关系不大，而更多地与总统执迷于干预中期选举有关。”

参议员们表示，如果该县聘请她，韦伯应当“提供最大程度的监督，以确保彼得斯女士不会非法访问选票、投票系统或敏感信息，从而影响沙斯塔县超过100,000名登记选民的权利和隐私。”

“未经证实的指控”

68岁的律师柯蒂斯在2025年春季被沙斯塔县监事会任命，填补了此前两名因健康原因辞职的登记员留下的空缺。

柯蒂斯当时住在佛罗里达州，与该地区没有任何之前的联系，也从未组织过选举。他在主张手工计票，并在一次公开面试中吹嘘自己曾与林德尔合作后获得了这一职位。

他迅速撤除了这个地域辽阔且大部分为农村地区的县中13个选票投递箱里的9个。他在没有证据的情况下，指责其前任通过填充选票来破坏保守派共和党的利益，并多次要求联邦当局突击搜查办公室并没收之前选举的选票。

沙斯塔县官员告诉《时报》，任何潜在的雇员或顾问都必须经过与任何其他寻求在县政府就业的人相同的招聘流程。

监事会于8月11日因柯蒂斯对待员工的方式而对其进行了谴责。

他对此的回应是邀请记者前往位于雷丁市中心的选举办公室，并在那里分享了监控录像，他称录像显示员工闯入了大楼内的一个房间。他允许记者对该录像进行拍摄。

该县在8月14日的一份新闻稿中谴责了这些行为，称他“已多次收到关于处理和调查人事事项的适当程序的建议，并被告知维护此类事项机密性的重要性”。

今年早春，该县公布了两项针对柯蒂斯行为的人事调查结果，这些调查是由选举员工及其工会代表提出的担忧所引发的。

一项内部调查和由奥本海默调查组（Oppenheimer Investigations Group）进行的外部调查发现，柯蒂斯在县政府工作时间内拨打与自己竞选相关的电话，并随意威胁要杀死、体罚、扇耳光或“击穿喉咙”员工。

根据县支持服务主管莫妮卡·富吉特（Monica Fugitt）的一份内部调查报告，他曾威胁要让一名员工被揪住头发拖出办公室，报告写道，他“表现出一种明显的对待员工不专业且具有虐待性的行为模式”。

柯蒂斯否认了这些调查结果。

关于聘用彼得斯的讨论引起了加利福尼亚州立法者的迅速谴责，州长加文·纽森的办公室表示，正在调查与彼得斯签署的合同是否违反了州法律。

“一旦他们就职，就如同他们被选出一样，”布埃特尔说道。他表示，若要将柯蒂斯免职，必须由选民通过罢免投票来实现。

H. 肯尼斯·诺里安于 1933 年出生在新泽西州，在比弗利山庄的家中安详离世。肯出生于西兰和哈里·诺里安夫妇名下，其父母是来自土耳其安塔布的亚美尼亚移民。肯在四个兄弟中排行第三，在关系紧密的家庭中长大，而家庭始终是他生命中重要的一部分。

H. 肯尼斯·诺里安（Kenneth Norian） April 15, 1933 - August 25, 2026

1963年，肯在纽泽西州的一次聚会上结识了辛西娅·迪克拉尼安（Cynthia Dickranian）并与她结婚。两年后，这对夫妇向西搬迁至加利福尼亚州，肯在那里深入参与到商业、公民、法律以及亚美尼亚裔美国人社区中。

在周二的一份声明中，该县表示他“在没有正当程序或调查的情况下，继续对员工进行未经证实的非法活动指控”。

在耶鲁大学毕业后，肯在美军炮兵部队担任上尉。完成兵役后，肯与兄弟合伙成立了一家房地产开发公司，在纽泽西州北部建造定制住宅。

肯就读于纽泽西州英格尔伍德的德怀特·莫罗高中（Dwight Morrow High School），在那里他凭借天生的领导才能脱颖而出，曾担任学生会主席。

在 19 年间，肯担任比弗利山庄 Premier Market 的总裁。在他的领导下，他扩展了公司的家庭配送服务和葡萄酒业务，其前瞻性领先于时代数十年。

随后他进入耶鲁大学就读，他最显著的成就是担任《耶鲁日报》（Yale Daily News）的商务经理，这一角色既体现了他的领导能力，也反映了他对商业和传播的浓厚兴趣。

而在 Aug. 19，民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉（Alex Padilla）和亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）在给加利福尼亚州州务卿的信中写道

肯曾担任比弗利山庄商会财务主管，并且是比弗利山庄教育基金会的创始董事。在十一年的时间里，他通过加州州律师协会法院担任行政上诉法官，该法院负责处理加州最高法院管辖下的律师纪律处分事项。他继续以志愿者外行仲裁员的身份服务于法律界，帮助加州州律师协会解决律师与客户之间的费用纠纷。

亚美尼亚血统始终是肯一生身份认同的基石。自美国亚美尼亚议会（Armenian Assembly of America）成立以来，他一直担任其信托研究员。他也是北美亚美尼亚教会西教区的忠实捐助者，并且是国际扶轮社（Rotary International）长达四十年的保罗·哈里斯会友（Paul Harris Fellow）。肯强烈支持州长乔治·德克梅金（George Deukmejian）的竞选活动。他的公民参与反映了他的信念：公民身份并非被动的，而是一种需要积极实践的生活方式。肯始终致力于为后代保护并加强亚美尼亚裔美国人社区。

尽管肯在职业成就、公共服务、兴趣和终身追求方面取得了诸多成果，但他最大的骄傲是他的家庭。他与辛迪建立了跨越六个多年代的婚姻和家庭。他们是四个孩子的自豪父母：托马斯·阿彻（Thomas Archer）；蒂莫西·卡彻（Timothy Katcher）及其妻子 PJ；约翰·马修（John Mathew）及其妻子 Gia；以及他们的女儿凯瑟琳·卡伦（Cathleen Caroun）。他们还拥有八个孙辈和一个曾孙辈，为他们的生活带来了巨大的欢乐与自豪。

人们将记住肯，不仅是因为他的成就，更是因为他对待生活的方式。他是一位酷爱阅读的人，一名音乐爱好者，并且对新技术持有真诚的好奇心。他的慷慨、职业道德、幽默感以及对生活的热情将在后代中延续。

副首席执行官布特尔（Buettell）告诉《时报》，该县没有权力终止柯蒂斯（Curtis）的雇佣关系，因为他是被任命填补一个民选职位的空缺。

追思礼将于9月3日（周四）上午11点在圣詹姆斯亚美尼亚使徒教会（St. James Armenian Apostolic Church）举行。家属恳请以捐款代替鲜花，捐款可定向至美国亚美尼亚议会、西教区营地捐赠基金或洛杉矶圣詹姆斯亚美尼亚使徒教会纪念基金。

格雷戈里·沙姆斯 Getty Images 道奇队强力击球手 Teoscar Hernández 笑容满面，他的两分本垒打帮助洛杉矶队在周日以 6-1 获胜，为这个令人遗忘的八月画上了圆满句号。

底特律 —— 泰奥斯卡·赫尔南德斯（Teoscar Hernández）停下脚步，欣赏着他刚刚击飞的那记变速球的飞行轨迹。直到球落在看台，他才将球棒向客队休息区方向侧抛，开始绕垒跑回。

“这是一个巨大的解脱，”赫尔南德斯在周日道奇队 6-1 击败底特律老虎队后表示，“每次像那样击球，尤其是当你一段时间状态不佳时，感觉真的非常好。”

在这次客场之旅中，道奇队一直缺乏关键的一击，在过去五场比赛中均陷入了仅一分之差的胶着战。前一天，赫尔南德斯距离击出本垒打仅差几英尺。但在周日，他在第六局击出的两分本垒打让道奇队取得了领先。

“在野手之间，他们进行了一些内部会议，”经理戴夫·罗伯茨（Dave Roberts）在谈到道奇队此次行程中最佳的进攻表现时说道。

“很高兴看到泰奥今天爆发。我知道他一直渴望如此。无论是击球机会、保送、控制好好球区、击出安打，还是构建局势 —— 看到这些真的非常好。”

在常规休息后登场的泰勒·格拉斯诺贡献了一场精彩的先发表现。这位右投手将老虎队（63-73）限制在仅得一分 —— 该分出现在第四局，当时格拉斯诺允许对方击出两支单打并保送了一名击球手。那是他唯一允许上垒的 [见道奇队，D4]

职业橄榄球名人堂显然可以再等等 —— 至少到 2031 年。

当亚伦·唐纳德两年前退役时，名人堂在社交媒体上发布道：“2029 年值得关注。”

那一年本应是唐纳德有资格作为毫无疑问的首轮入选者进入俄亥俄州坎顿名人堂的一年。

但在周日，唐纳德推迟了这一时间表，他在 Instagram 上宣布将回归，加入一支星光熠熠的公羊队。这支球队是明年 2 月在 SoFi 体育场举行的超级碗夺冠热门之一。

合同条款尚未公布，但据一名知情人士透露，唐纳德与球队达成了一份为期一年的合同，常规赛期间价值最高可达 2000万美元，如果他达成所有激励目标，则最高可达 3000万美元。由于合同尚未公开，该人士要求匿名。

唐纳德在 35 岁时回归并非完全出乎意料。[见唐纳德，D3]

金凤凰此次未能起飞

这匹阉马在德尔马赛马场冲击重大锦标赛五连胜的尝试被 Test Score 阻断。

作者：Jay Posner

在这座拥有近百年历史的赛马场上，最令人瞩目的连胜纪录之一依然在延续。

只不过，这并非大多数人预期的那一个。

金凤凰（Gold Phoenix）试图追随 Kelso 的脚步，成为北美唯一能在同一项重大锦标赛中连续五年夺冠的马匹，但这一目标在周六晚上宣告终结。在奖金 $300,000 的德尔马让磅赛（Del Mar Handicap）中，这匹 8 岁的阉马最终在 Test Score 和另外两匹马之后获得第四名。

“输了，我想差距不到一个马身，而且在直道顶端被挡住了，”练马师 Phil D'Amato 表示，“这就是草地赛。”

更具体地说，这是在德尔马的草地赛，对手是东海岸练马师 Graham Motion，近年来他在这里的成功率甚至比玛格丽塔特许摊位还要高。

Test Score 是 Motion 自 2022 年以来派往德尔马参加夏季锦标赛的第八匹马——同时也是第八匹获胜的马。

“太疯狂了，”陪同 Test Score 前往西海岸的助理练马师 Alice Clapham 说道，“这就是那种让你忍不住掐自己一下的事情。你知道这种运气总会在某个时刻停止，但你只能顺其自然地享受其中。”

金凤凰的马主们深有体会。

他们从未预料到自己的阉马能连续四次赢得这场比赛，这在德尔马是前所未有的壮举，但自 2022 年起，它每年都能找到获胜的方法，其中三次胜出差距不足半个马身，一次胜出 $1^{1 / 4}$ 个马身。

而这一次，这匹赔率 11-10 的热门马在五匹马的终点线照片判定中处于不利位置。它以鼻尖优势击败了 Mondego，但落后于 Atomic Age 一个头，而 Atomic Age 落后于 Atitlan 半个马身，Atitlan 则落后于 Test Score 一个颈长。获胜者是 Lookin at Lucky 的后代，年龄仅为金凤凰的一半，作为赔率 13-5 的第二热门，其赔付金额为 $7.20。

尽管感到失望，但金凤凰的团队并不打算寻求安慰。

“我们非常感激它为我们以及所有合伙人所做的一切，”Little Red Feather 赛马马厩的执行合伙人 Gary Fenton 说道，“它是一匹真正、真正特别的马，今天的结果改变不了这一点。”

Little Red Feather 的另一位执行合伙人 Billy Koch 表示：“结果只是没有按照我们希望的方式发展。不过，它每次都全力以赴。除了为它感到自豪，我无话可说。”

Koch 表示，在比赛过程中他就有预感，再次获胜可能会有困难。在 11 匹马的参赛阵容中，金凤凰在进入远端弯道前一直处于后方，随后骑师 Hector Berrios 开始催马。在绕弯时，骑师不得不稍微克制它，但在向内轨偏移后，它获得了清晰的冲刺路径。

Test Score 同样在后方发起反击，但在 Juan Hernandez 的引导下，其进程更为顺畅，并最终超越了其他后追马。

“[Berrios] 尝试从内线突围，”D'Amato 说，“那里有点拥挤，但一旦冲出来，它就开始奋战，只是我们最终被跑赢了。”

1 3 / 8 英里赛程的最终成绩为 2 分 14.76 秒，是自金凤凰首次获胜（2:14.51）以来最快的一次。作为育马者杯挑战赛（Breeders' Cup Challenge Series）的一部分，Test Score 获得了 10 月 31 日在肯塔基州 Keeneland 举行的奖金 $5-million 育马者杯草地赛（Breeders' Cup Turf）的参赛资格（含报名费）。

Fenton 表示，计划让金凤凰在上述比赛中再次尝试。在之前的该项赛事中，它曾两次获得第四名，一次第五名和一次第 10 名，共赢得 $640,000——约占其 $2.600 万 职业生涯总奖金的 25%。

在 Keeneland 参赛的将不只有 Little Red Feather 的马。Iron Man Cal 在另一场 2 级赛事——奖金 $250,000 的 Pat O'Brien 赛中以 8-1 的赔率爆冷获胜，这确保了这匹 4 岁阉马获得了育马者杯泥地一英里赛（Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile）的参赛资格。

下半场他们在三分线外的表现同样糟糕，最终仅命中4球（22投4中）。

火花队在开局的一波18-2攻势中率先拿下前13分，迪里卡·汉比（Dearica Hamby）在半场结束前5:45的一次上篮为一波11-0的得分高潮画上句号，使球队取得了39-20的领先优势。西雅图队的投篮命中率为32%（38投12中），三分球命中率为18%（11投2中），随后在半场结束时落后19分。风暴队

弗劳贾·约翰逊（Flau'jae Johnson）在第四节砍下了她19分中的11分，多米尼克·马隆加（Dominique Malonga）为风暴队（8-32）贡献了17分（21投8中）和15个篮板。齐亚·库克（Zia Cooke）投篮17投6中，得到14分。

泰坦队裁掉莱维斯，NFL各球队精简阵容

田纳西队放弃了这名四分卫，而布朗队和猎鹰队则保留了四名信号员。

美联社

一名知情人士告诉美联社，随着NFL各球队精简阵容，田纳西泰坦队的四分卫威尔·莱维斯是周日被裁掉的1,100多名球员之一。

由于泰坦队尚未公布裁员名单，该人士在要求匿名的条件下发表了上述言论。

莱维斯是2023, 第二轮选秀球员，曾为泰坦队首发21场比赛，但他被卡在卡姆·沃德（Cam Ward）和米奇·特鲁比斯基（Mitch Trubisky）之后。他在田纳西队的两个赛季中战绩为5-16，且在肩部手术后未参加2025年的比赛。

“我认为他一直很出色，”泰坦队教练罗伯特·萨利（Robert Saleh）在周六比赛后谈到莱维斯时表示，“我觉得他今天的表现非常好。我认为他在半场结束前的最后两分钟进攻跑位做得非常棒，对时间的掌控力很强。”

莱维斯表示，他相信自己能成为NFL的首发四分卫。

“我觉得无论处于什么位置，你都必须对自己拥有这种信心，”莱维斯在季前赛收官战中以24-15负于熊队后说道，他在该场比赛中22次传球完成14次，获得143码，“我看到过一段话，我不记得是谁说的了，但意思是‘这里的联盟成员每个人都是首发’。你必须具备这种心态。你可能在按下按钮的一瞬间就被启用，并且必须准备好随时上场。我觉得在我离开的一段时间里，我获得了很多东西，就是找回了在过去一年比赛中失去的一部分信心，我将在职业生涯的余下时间里保持这种心态。”

各球队必须在太平洋夏季时间下午3点之前，将球员人数从90人削减至53人。

曾三次入选职业碗（Pro Bowl）的接球手奥德尔·贝克汉姆（Odell Beckham Jr.）在缺席2025赛季后成功进入纽约巨人队。

维京人队保留了J.J.麦卡锡（J.J. McCarthy），他是 2024. 的首轮选秀球员。2023年的首轮选秀球员安东尼·理查森（Anthony Richardson）仍留在马球队。这两名四分卫此前都处于边缘位置。

布朗队在将迪伦·加布里埃尔（Dillon Gabriel）因背部受伤列入伤病预备名单后，保留了四名四分卫。谢德尔·桑德斯（Shedeur Sanders）将担任德肖恩·沃森（Deshaun Watson）的替补，而新秀泰伦·格林（Taylen Green）在深度图中排名第三。作为新秀在上赛季首发六场比赛的加布里埃尔可以在第5周回归。

亚特兰大猎鹰队同样选择了保留四名四分卫，分别是图亚·塔戈瓦伊洛亚（Tua Tagovailoa）、迈克尔·佩尼克斯（Michael Penix Jr.）、库珀·鲁什（Cooper Rush）和杰克·斯特兰德（Jack Strand）。

许多被裁掉的球员将以练习阵容（practice squad）的形式重新加入原球队。其他人将前往新球队。还有一些人将就此结束其NFL职业生涯。

几支球队在裁员截止日期前进行了交易。

2023年的首轮选秀球员、进攻截锋布罗德里克·琼斯（Broderick Jones）在周日更换了球队。四分卫奎因·尤尔斯（Quinn Ewers）和防守截锋CJ·奥科耶（CJ Okoye）也是如此。四分卫凯尔·麦考德（Kyle McCord）、近端截锋亨特·隆（Hunter Long）和马克·雷德曼（Mark Redman）、截锋沃尔特·劳斯（Walter Rouse）、后卫克拉克·菲利普斯三世（Clark Phillips III）、防守截锋格文·德克斯特（Gervon Dexter）、中锋塞德里克·范普兰-格兰杰（Sedrick Van Pran-Granger）和贾雷特·帕特森（Jarrett Patterson）也被交易。

在将尤尔斯交易至杰克逊维尔的一天后，海豚队通过从格林贝用一名2028年的第六轮选秀权换取麦考德，获得了一名新的替补四分卫。海豚队此前曾从美洲豹队获得一名 2028. 的第六轮选秀权以换取尤尔斯。

麦考德在周五以42-38战胜亚利桑那的比赛中传了四个达阵，其中包括在最后 $3 1 / 2 分钟内传的两个。但包装工队在5月签下了泰罗德·泰勒（Tyrod Taylor）来担任乔丹·洛夫（Jordan Love）的替补。

麦考德将担任马利克·威利斯（Malik Willis）的替补，后者在过去两个赛季在格林贝担任洛夫的替补后，于3月签署了一份为期三年、价值 $67.5-million 的合同。

红雀队用一名2028年的第六轮选秀权从杰克逊维尔换来了隆和一名2028年的第七轮选秀权。隆在46场比赛中有20次接球，获得153码。

马球队从布法罗获得范普兰-格兰杰和一名2027年的第七轮选秀权，以换取一名2027年的第六轮选秀权。

范普兰-格兰杰在两个赛季中出场 18 场比赛，其中包括在比尔队的一次首发。

此次交易表明，首发球员康纳·麦戈文在因未公开的下肢伤势缺席过去一个月的大部分时间后，将准备好回归。在麦戈文缺阵期间，劳埃德·库申伯里接替了他的位置。

熊队从亚特兰大队获得了 2027 年第五轮选秀权和菲利普斯，以换取德克斯特。

一名因交易尚未公布而要求匿名的知情人士表示，49 人队从休斯顿队获得帕特森作为替补中锋，代价是一枚 2027 年第七轮选秀权。帕特森在 2023 年被德州人队以第六轮选秀权选中，在过去三个赛季中首发 21 场比赛。他将在旧金山担任杰克·布伦德尔的替补。49 人队曾在休赛期签下布雷特·托斯来担任该角色，但后者自 8 月初以来一直因脑震荡缺阵。

包装机队继续增强其近端紧端锋的深度，以 2028 年第七轮选秀权从公羊队换来了雷德曼。此次变动发生在格林贝签下资深紧端锋乔努·史密斯三天之后。

维京人队将劳斯和一枚 2027 年第七轮选秀权送至爱国者队，以换取 2027 年的一枚第六轮选秀权。

公羊队星光熠熠的53人名单最终确定

唐纳德回归，且未被选中的线卫贝利在强劲的季前赛表现后成功入选。

作者：加里·克莱恩（GARY KLEIN）

公羊队在进入训练营时，阵容中就挤满了球星和其他知名球员。

因此，对于一名未被选中的球员能够进入球队最初的53人名单，这在NFL中是最不可能发生的场景之一。

而且，这还是在未来的名人堂防守线球员亚伦·唐纳德（Aaron Donald）周日宣布结束两年的退休状态，重新加入这支被看好赢得超级碗的球队之前。

但外部线卫韦斯利·贝利（Wesley Bailey），一名曾在罗格斯大学和路易斯维尔大学效力的未被选中的自由球员，打破了这种低概率。身高6-foot-5, 265-pound的贝利在对阵堪萨斯城酋长队和新奥尔良圣徒队的季前赛中给人留下了深刻印象，随后在对阵闪电队的比赛中仅上场了几个回合，这表明主教练肖恩·麦克维（Sean McVay）打算留住他。

公羊队放弃或终止了34名球员的合同，其中包括第七轮选秀球员、防守线球员蒂姆·基南三世（Tim Keenan III）。如果他们通过豁免程序，预计许多人将被签入由16人组成的练习阵容。

公羊队采取行动，试图为至少一名他们担心无法通过豁免程序的球员换取回报，将近端锋马克·雷德曼（Mark Redman）交易至格林贝包装工队，以换取一个2028年的第七轮选秀权。

他们还将进攻线球员贾斯汀·德迪奇（Justin Dedich）和基根·特罗斯特（Keagen Trost），以及四分卫马修·考德威尔（Matthew Caldwell）列入伤病预备名单。

在现任NFL最有价值球员、四分卫马修·斯塔福德（Matthew Stafford）的带领下，公羊队将于9月10日在澳大利亚墨尔本对阵旧金山49人队，开启新赛季。

麦克维尚未透露斯泰森·本内特（Stetson Bennett）还是新秀泰·辛普森（Ty Simpson）将担任斯塔福德的替补。

明星接球手普卡·纳库亚（Puka Nacua）和首发左截锋阿拉里克·杰克逊（Alaric Jackson）目前正因分别涉及的场外事件接受NFL的持续调查。如果联盟认定他们违反了个人行为准则，他们可能会被禁赛。

除非发生变动，否则公羊队将带着一支在近端锋、接球手和外部线卫位置上人数较多，且由于球员的多功能性而在角卫位置上人数极少的阵容前往澳大利亚。

麦克维在去年的进攻中引入了三近端锋阵型，这为公羊队携带五名近端锋铺平了道路：泰勒·希格比（Tyler Higbee）、科尔比·帕金森（Colby Parkinson）、戴维斯·艾伦（Davis Allen）、特伦斯·弗格森（Terrance Ferguson）以及新秀马克斯·克莱尔（Max Klare）。弗格森的技能组显然使他成为在球星普卡·纳库亚和达万特·亚当斯（Davante Adams）之后的第三接球手选项。

公羊队上周通过交易获得老将图图·阿特韦尔（Tutu Atwell），在这次交易中，跑卫贾奎兹·亨特（Jarquez Hunter）被送往迈阿密海豚队，这使他们拥有了七名接球手。

贝利是外部线卫组的一员，该组还包括迈尔斯·加雷特（Myles Garrett）、拜伦·杨（Byron Young）、约赛亚·斯图尔特（Josaiah Stewart）和德斯旺·约翰逊（Desjuan Johnson）。

特伦特·麦克杜菲（Trent McDuffie）、杰伦·沃森（Jaylen Watson）、埃马纽埃尔·福布斯二世（Emmanuel Forbes Jr.）和乔什·华莱士（Josh Wallace）是角卫。公羊队仅保留了四名角卫，部分原因是安全卫昆廷·莱克（Quentin Lake）担任混合槽位角卫 / 内部线卫，且华莱士可以担任安全卫。

德迪奇和特罗斯特必须缺席四场比赛。名单上的九名进攻线球员包括首发中锋科尔曼·谢尔顿（Coleman Shelton）、后卫凯文·多特森（Kevin Dotson）和史蒂夫·阿维拉（Steve Avila），以及截锋杰克逊和沃伦·麦克伦顿二世（Warren McClendon Jr.），此外还有替补大卫·奎森伯里（David Quessenberry）、博克斯·利默（Beaux Limmer）、比尔·默里（Bill Murray）和迪伦·麦克马洪（Dylan McMahon）。

名人堂可以等候，唐纳德重返公羊队

[唐纳德，来自D1]

这位三届NFL年度最佳防守球员依然是个健身狂人，并经常在社交媒体上发布他的举重训练片段。

在洛约拉马里蒙大学（Loyola Marymount）的训练营期间，唐纳德在公羊队防守线教练吉夫·史密斯（Giff Smith）和公羊队训练师的指导下进行了锻炼。一段发布在社交媒体上的视频还捕捉到了他在加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）冲击阻挡雪橇的画面。此外，他最近至少两次在公羊队的设施中进行了训练。

当公羊队在6月通过交易获得两届年度最佳防守球员、防守端锋迈尔斯·加勒特（Myles Garrett）时，外界开始猜测和议论唐纳德是否会加入他，从而组成历史上 perhaps 最强大的冲传组合。

在加勒特的亮相新闻发布会上，当被问及唐纳德可能回归的问题时，教练肖恩·麦克维（Sean McVay）并未排除这种可能性。

“听着，如果他感兴趣的话……”麦克维戏谑地说道，并补充道：“如果亚伦决定在35岁时重新掸掉灰尘回归，我敢打赌他依然能保持相当高的水准。”

队友和前队友也在播客和社交媒体上发表了看法。

在整个训练营和季前赛练习期间，麦克维多次表示，公羊队将让唐纳德在没有硬性时间表的情况下完成他的决策过程。

但麦克维也提到，他几乎每天都与唐纳德保持联系，并暗示“如果有一个箭头，那么它正处于上升趋势”。

加勒特和其他球员表示，他们不会试图说服唐纳德，但会欢迎他的回归。

随着唐纳德追求第二个超级碗冠军——他在超级碗LVI结束时通过给辛辛那提孟加拉虎队四分卫乔·伯罗（Joe Burrow）施压锁定了第一个冠军——他可以进一步丰富其长达10年的传奇生涯，而这段生涯已然名列联盟历史最伟大球员之列。

唐纳德在2017, 2018和2020年被评为年度最佳防守球员，并累计完成了111次擒杀，这使他成为联盟历史上 perhaps 最具统治力的内线防守截锋。

30岁的加勒特在边缘位置作战，在克利夫兰布朗队的九个赛季中完成了125.5次擒杀，其中包括上赛季创纪录的23次。

唐纳德在2018年创下了职业生涯最佳的20.5次擒杀，在他前10个赛季中几乎是个“铁人”。他的职业生涯中仅因伤缺席六场比赛，且全部是因为在公羊队灾难性的2022年“超级碗宿醉”赛季期间遭受的脚踝伤势。

唐纳德加入了一支经过重组的防守线，此前公羊队在去年的NFC冠军赛中输给了最终的超级碗冠军西雅图海鹰队。

公羊队通过交易获得了全明星角卫特伦特·麦克杜菲（Trent McDuffie），并签下了角卫杰伦·沃森（Jaylen Watson），两人此前曾在堪萨斯城酋长队赢得两次超级碗冠军。

随后，他们将明星边缘冲传手贾里德·弗斯（Jared Verse）、一名2027年首轮选秀权以及未来的二轮和三轮选秀权交易给布朗队，以换取加勒特。

公羊队的防守前线现在包括唐纳德、加勒特、截锋科比·特纳（Kobie Turner）、布雷登·菲斯克（Braden Fiske）和普纳·福特（Poona Ford），以及边缘冲传手拜伦·杨（Byron Young）。

NFL报道：小马队艾伦因酒驾被捕

电讯报道

印第安纳波利斯小马队接球手基南·艾伦（Keenan Allen）周日因涉嫌酒后驾驶被捕。

34岁的艾伦面临初步的轻罪指控，包括醉酒驾驶机动车以及醉酒驾驶机动车危及他人。

根据印第安纳波利斯大都会警察局的说法，警员在观察到一辆车停在禁停区后，于凌晨1点后不久进行了交通调查。警员在与艾伦交谈时“注意到醉酒迹象”。在进一步调查后，他被逮捕。

小马队于8月19日宣布，他们已与六次入选职业碗的艾伦达成一份为期一年的合同。

“我们已知晓昨晚涉及基南·艾伦的事件，”小马队在声明中表示。“我们正在收集更多信息，目前不作进一步评论。”

上赛季在闪电队出战的17场比赛中，艾伦完成了81次接球，获得777码码数并有四次达阵。

两名球员被列入豁免名单

绿湾包装工队的跑卫乔什·雅各布斯（Josh Jacobs）已被列入 NFL 专员豁免名单，目前他面临两项轻罪指控。此举将使其无法参加训练或出席比赛。

球员在被列入专员豁免名单期间将继续获得薪资。

威斯康星州布朗县地区检察官大卫·拉西（David Lasee）周四宣布，雅各布斯被指控犯有殴打罪和蓄意破坏财产罪。这些指控源于警方描述的雅各布斯与其女友之间的一次肢体冲突。

一名知情人士周日告诉美联社，丹佛野马队的线卫乔纳森·库珀（Jonathon Cooper）也将以专员豁免名单身份开启本赛季，他目前面临一项重罪勒颈指控。

库珀因 6 月份两次因与当时交往的一名女性发生争执而被捕，周一将就多项家庭暴力指控接受提审。

根据 NFL 的家庭暴力政策，库珀可能面临长期禁赛。

他是该防守阵容的关键成员，该防守阵容在过去两个赛季中均在擒杀数方面领跑联盟。

小熊队球星大爆发，展现MVP实力

芝加哥 —— 皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗（Pete Crow-Armstrong）将赛前与萨米·索萨（Sammy Sosa）的两次对话，转化成了他职业生涯中最辉煌的一天。

克劳-阿姆斯特朗在周六的比赛中击出三支本垒打并贡献六分打点，进一步增强了他竞争国家联盟（NL）最有价值球员（MVP）的筹码，并带领芝加哥小熊队以 17-5 大胜辛辛那提红人队。这位全明星中外野手在比赛中四次击球命中并四次得分，令瑞格利球场（Wrigley Field）的 39,597 名观众感到兴奋。

“我认为皮特正经历着一个美妙的赛季，”经理克雷格·康塞尔（Craig Counsell）表示，“观看他的表现非常有意思。……我们很幸运能成为其中的一部分。”

24岁的克劳-阿姆斯特朗在进入球场时在门厅遇到了索萨，两人随后在击球笼中再次交谈。57岁的索萨出席了一场赛前仪式，庆祝芝加哥作为国家联盟特许经营球队的 150 周年。

克劳-阿姆斯特朗表示，索萨告诉他希望看到他有更出色的表现，随后告诉他希望他在比赛中击出三支本垒打。

“他当时说，‘我今天想让你击出三支。……我需要三支，’”克劳-阿姆斯特朗说，“结果果然如此，我不知道他给了我什么样的启发。”

在日本人击球手大谷翔平连续两年获得该荣誉后，克劳-阿姆斯特朗继续尝试将其从道奇队球星的位置上拉下来，争夺国联 MVP。

虽然大谷在洛杉矶期间仅限于担任指定击球手，但克劳-阿姆斯特朗是棒球界顶尖的防守球员之一。同时，他在进攻端也变成了持续的威胁，在 136 场比赛中打击率 .282，击出 36 支本垒打，贡献 89 分打点和 32 次盗垒。

“有时你骨子里能感觉到今天会有这样的表现，而我今天做到了，”克劳-阿姆斯特朗说。

克劳-阿姆斯特朗在第一局击出了一记 435 英尺飞向右中场的长打，这是他职业生涯的第八次先头本垒打 —— 且全部发生在本赛季。他在第二局再次击出本垒打，一记两分球击中了右外野的界外杆。

这是克劳-阿姆斯特朗本赛季第五场单场多支本垒打的比赛，也是他职业生涯的第 11 场。

“我认为他能以很多种不同的方式改变比赛，”队友亚历克斯·布雷格曼（Alex Bregman）说，“我认为今天可能是击出三支本垒打，明天可能是做出三次飞身救球，或者在中心外野接住没人能接到的球。后天，可能是盗三垒，球飞向左外野而他得分。他在棒球场上能做的事情实在太多了。”

克劳-阿姆斯特朗的前三次击球命中均来自左投手安德鲁·艾博特（Andrew Abbott）。本赛季他对阵左投的打击率为 .315，有 11 支本垒打和 34 分打点；而在 2025 年，他对阵左投的打击率仅为 .188，有 7 支本垒打和 27 分打点。

“关键在于站在击球区并更好地学习好球区，”他说，“我想我作为一名棒球运动员，整体上正在自然地变得更好。”

在第七局一、二垒有人时，克劳-阿姆斯特朗击出了一记 444 英尺飞向中场的长打，对手是右投手托尼·桑蒂兰（Tony Santillan）。当他绕垒时，观众席上响起了“M-V-P! M-V-P!”的欢呼声。

在第八局由捕手何塞·特雷维诺（Jose Trevino）担任投手时，克劳-阿姆斯特朗击球被截击至二垒。但球迷们依然欢呼，用长久的掌声向他职业生涯首场单场三本垒打的比赛致敬。

“我与所有这些球迷的关系在不断增长，”克劳-阿姆斯特朗说，“所以我每天都越来越享受在这里的时间，无论是走在街上还是穿着球衣。”

道奇队进攻端显现复苏迹象

[道奇队，接D1页]

在七局中失分。

“这绝对是个好迹象，”格拉斯诺在伤病名单回归后的第二次先发中投满深局后表示，“我喜欢我现在正逐渐进入节奏的感觉。在康复期间，我想有两三次是按照五天一次的[常规]来执行的。所以我很喜欢。我觉得五天或六天一次的感觉相对相似。无论怎么安排，都能适应。但我两种都喜欢。”

道奇队（82胜55负）在第八局攻下三分，其中两分来自对方的暴投，从而扩大了领先优势并赢下系列赛。

道奇队此次 2胜4负 的客场之旅，为 13胜14负 的 8 月画上了句号——这是他们本赛季唯一一个胜率低于 50% 的月份。随着道奇队告别罗伯茨所称的“非常令人遗忘”的 8 月，以下是 9 月值得关注的三条主线：

进攻端能否全面启动？

进攻端的反弹似乎是解决分差仅一分的比赛过多的答案——仅 8 月就有 15 场这样的比赛。道奇队在周日之前，7 月和 8 月共仅得 203 分，在全大联盟中排名第 22 位。

“我必须思考能做些什么来刺激这次进攻，”罗伯茨在周六晚上说，“我现在坐在这里还不知道答案。这些是我们一直以来表现出色的球员，我相信他们。但在做出改变方面，比如调整阵容构建之类的事情，我还没有答案。但总的来说，我认为这群球员现在的击球状态确实不佳。”

9 月的球员召回可能是为阵容注入新能量的一种方式。捕手威尔·史密斯（颈部伤势）即将从伤病名单中回归，考虑到本·罗特维特与亨特·费杜西亚分担时间的现状，罗特维特可能会成为板凳上的多余之选。

“在 9 月 1 日扩充名单时，我们肯定在考虑增加一名左打球员，”罗伯茨在谈到增加野手时表示，“如果我们讨论增加一名球员，这就是我们需要的东西。我不知道具体会是谁，但我的想法大致如此。”

格雷戈里·沙姆斯 Getty Images

捕手道尔顿·拉辛（肘部伤势）预计最终将担任板凳上的那名左打。但罗伯茨表示，尽管他已经开始了投球训练，但周二还不能回归。

大谷翔平会恢复投球吗？

在周日尚未准备好恢复投球后，道奇队正等待回到洛杉矶后再决定大谷翔平的下一步计划。

在不到一周的时间里，道奇队从拥有充足的先发投手选择，变成了右投手佐佐木朗希进入伤病名单，且大谷的恢复进程处于停滞状态，在接下来的几周内可能需要一名临时先发。

基克·赫尔南德斯被科尔特·基斯触杀出局，但道奇队顶住了压力，以 13胜14负 的战绩结束 8 月。

这一切并不意味着季后赛轮换将发生重大变化。山本由伸、塔里克·斯库巴尔、布莱克·斯内尔、格拉斯诺和大谷仍然是四个名额的候选人。

然而，目前看来，大谷在赛季结束前恢复到完整的先发工作量可能性较低。因此，他更有可能在早期轮次中与另一名先发投手接力，或者完全专注于打击。

他们能获得轮空资格吗？

道奇队可能会从轻松的九月赛程中获益。他们预计将只面对一支在周日处于季后赛位置的球队——持有国联最后一个外卡席位的教士队。

“你必须把比赛打完，”罗伯茨说。“如果我们打得不好，对手是谁并不重要。而如果我们打得好，对手是谁也同样不重要。这就是我的想法。”

尽管道奇队去年刚刚证明了他们可以在从外卡轮开始后赢得世界大赛，但对于每个联盟的1号和2号种子来说，那是一条更轻松的路径。

首轮轮空不仅意味着比赛场次减少，还意味着有时间为分区系列赛安排投手阵容。

作为卫冕冠军，道奇队在过去几年中参加的比赛场次比任何其他球队都多。但罗伯茨并没有将其视为借口。

“我听到了关于我们过去几年在一年中的某个阶段所经历的比赛、那种艰苦磨练的看法，”罗伯茨说。“我理解这一切，但我很难接受这一点。不过我认为有些人为此提出了论据。但我只是觉得

扎克·惠勒在六局强有力的投球中仅丢一分，埃德蒙多·索萨在第七局击出打破僵局的本垒打，客场作战的费城人队在周日以5-2战胜天使队，完成了三场比赛的横扫。

索萨在周五晚上九局的代打满贯炮帮助费城队以5-3获胜，而此次他在第七局首位击球时，面对天使队先发投手菊池雄星（0-5）击出了一支独跑本垒打，使费城人队取得2-1的领先。

费城人队在第八局通过路易斯·阿拉埃兹的代打牺牲飞球和布兰登·马什的代打打点单打，又增加了两分保险分，取得4-1的领先。布莱斯·哈珀在第九局击出一支打点二垒安打，将比分扩大为5-1。

亚历克斯·麦克法兰在第七局没有丢分，而奥赖恩·克尔克林在记录最后四个出局数并获得他的第二次救援成功时，在第九局被迈克·特劳特的打点二垒安打丢了一分。

费城人队在15场比赛中赢了13场。天使队则遭遇七连败，追平了本赛季的最长连败纪录，这也是他们在2026年的第三次此类低迷。

惠勒（11-5）丢了四次安打，六次三振，三次保送，在对决中击败了菊池，后者在七局中丢了两分，被击出六次安打。

惠勒在之前的四场比赛中战绩为0-3，自责分率（ERA）为8.38

周六晚上，凯尔·施瓦伯击出了一支领先打点的二垒安打，特雷亚·特纳在第10局击出两分单打，帮助费城费城人队以 4-2 战胜天使队。

费城人队终结者乔安·杜兰 (2-4) 在第九局未失分，并在第10局丢掉一分非自责分，费城队在最近 14 场比赛中取得了 12 场胜利。天使队 (52-84) 已遭遇六连败。

第10局上半场开始时，自动跑者布兰登·马什在面对天使队救援投手特雷弗·马丁的击球中，在三垒被雷亚尔穆托掷杀出局。贾斯汀·克劳福德击出单打，将雷亚尔穆托送至三垒。

天使队游击手扎克·内托在第八局经历了一次 12 球的对决，最终击出了一支由费城人队救援投手乔纳森·鲍兰投出的个人独跑本垒打，将比分扳平为 1-1，并结束了天使队连续 30 局没有长打的尴尬局面。

施瓦伯击出了一支向左中外野方向的打点单打，取得 2-1 的领先，在传球过程中，克劳福德跑至三垒，施瓦伯跑至二垒。特纳击出的一记滚地球穿过收紧的内野右侧，完成两分单打，将比分扩大为 4-1。

内托的第 23 支本垒打破坏了费城人队左投手克里斯托弗·桑切斯的出色开局。桑切斯在 7 局中仅允许两次安打，三振 8 人（使其赛季总数达到 202 个），保送 1 人，将他的自责分率降低至 2.52。

费城人队在第八局错失了扩大 1-0 领先优势的机会，该局始于特纳的单打和盗垒以及布莱斯·哈珀的保送。特纳在二垒被抓到离垒并被触杀出局。

CTE 研究再次引发对青少年及美式足球的担忧

家长必须权衡让孩子参加接触性运动的风险与回报。

作者：埃里克·桑德海默 (ERIC SONDHEIMER)

新的头条新闻引发了高中橄榄球运动员家长的担忧。

根据马萨诸塞州综合医疗中心（Mass General Brigham）、波士顿大学以及脑震荡与 CTE 基金会研究人员发表的一项研究，在 2016 年至 2021 年间去世的前 NFL 球员中，每四人就有一人可能患有慢性创伤性脑病（CTE）。共有 338 个大脑被捐赠用于研究，其中 315 个大脑显示出 CTE 的证据，这是一种因头部反复受伤而可能导致的大脑疾病。

体育经纪人兼律师艾伦·沃尔什（Allan Walsh）在一条推文中表示：“这是一场危机。”

家长们此前一直在讨论让儿子或女儿参加接触性运动的风险与回报，但这项关于橄榄球头部受伤的新研究将再次令一些允许家人参加橄榄球运动的人感到不安，甚至可能导致他们改变主意。

“这令人担忧，”前高中橄榄球和篮球教练迈克·汉密尔顿（Mike Hamilton）说道，他的儿子在查茨沃斯高中（Chatsworth High）打橄榄球。“有时我会想：‘我真的想让他打球吗？’我很忐忑。他对这项运动充满热情，也关注自己的健康。让我感到宽慰的是，我知道训练进展顺利。家长应该遵守一些协议。因为考虑到碰撞问题，在进入高中之前，我们没有让儿子打橄榄球。”

在洛约拉高中（Loyola High）担任体育训练师 38 年的蒂姆·莫西基（Tim Moscicki）表示，在保护橄榄球运动员免受脑震荡和其他头部受伤方面，许多情况已经得到了改善。他表示，新政策、改进的设备、对擒抱基础的重视以及新的协议都产生了效果。

他记得以前教练会说：“他被撞晕了（got his bell rung）。”球员会休息几个回合，然后重新上场。现在，这个词已被禁止出现在所有人的词汇表中。新规定要求球员在脑震荡后必须至少休息七天，且在返回赛场前需要获得医生的许可，而每周训练中实施的擒抱限制则表明，加州高中体育联合会（CIF）正严肃对待高中体育中的 CTE 问题。

“对我来说，橄榄球已经变得安全多了，”莫西基说。“就目前的措施而言，打橄榄球是安全的。现在孩子们一旦出现任何症状就会被要求离场。回溯到 1990 年，如果一个孩子脑震荡后 24 小时内没有症状，我们就会把头盔还给他们，说：‘你可以上场了。’”

“我的观点是，是否让儿子打橄榄球仍然取决于家长。我的小儿子打过橄榄球，大儿子打过长曲棍球。风险总是存在的。骑自行车有风险，打棒球也有风险。在全接触性运动中，风险只是稍微高一点。标准已经发生了巨大的变化。在 70 年代、80 年代和 90 年代，真的没有所谓的‘重返赛场’协议。”

莫西基是最早对所有学生进行基线测试的高中体育训练师之一，通过测试他们的平衡能力和大脑功能，以便在学生疑似脑震荡时，将结果与类似的检查进行对比。洛约拉高中还启动了一项“重返校园”计划，因为脑震荡学生会出现头痛，这也会影响他们的学业。

家长必须明白，“你无法预防脑震荡，”莫西基说。

“如果你被撞得足够重，目前没有任何东西能 100% 预防脑震荡，”他说。“脑震荡是由于大脑撞击颅骨内壁而发生的。”

好消息是，包括 NFL 在内的所有人都似乎在支持对头部受伤的研究资金。现在得出研究走向的结论还为时过早。

这就是家长选择权发挥作用的地方。

“橄榄球是一项运动，”莫西基说。“你不必非得打，也不必非得看。”

然而，超级碗（Super Bowl）仍然是美国观看人数最多的年度电视节目，且参与者能获得丰厚的金钱回报。

未来的挑战依然很多。皮尔斯学院（Pierce College）和橙海岸学院（Orange Coast College）今年因缺乏球员而暂停了其初级学院橄榄球项目。许多高中的预备队项目也因缺乏球员而终止。

一项针对 2025-26 学年的 CIF 参与度调查发现，11 人制橄榄球是最受欢迎的男孩运动，参与人数为 87,718 人，较上学年下降了 4%。

“任何接触性运动都存在风险，”汉密尔顿说道。

“你想要保护你的儿子。”

棕熊队的关键球员

[来自D1的] UCLA新任教练鲍勃·切斯尼（Bob Chesney）签下了来自詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学的转校生奈特（Knight），他在上个赛季创下了纪录，获得了2,039码的全能码数。

奈特身高5英尺7英寸，并非典型的力量型跑卫，但他凭借惊人的速度、切入能力和多面性弥补了这一点。

尽管奈特即将进入防守更为强悍的大十联盟（Big Ten），但数据和运动能力不会撒谎，这位来自特拉华州斯迈尔纳（Smyrna, Del.）的球员为棕熊队带来了一名极具爆发力的组织者。

自2022年杰克·博博（Jake Bobo）以来，UCLA还没有出现过一名获得750码的接球手。Ia-maleava从未拥有过这样的接球手。这种情况在2026年可能会改变。

布莱恩·罗（Brian Rowe）在休赛期从南卡罗来纳大学转学到UCLA，在整个春季和季前训练营期间迅速吸引了媒体的关注。

罗凭借其运动能力和接球后像“操纵杆”一样灵活的推进能力给到访者和队友留下了深刻印象。他的速度在跑球和传球方案中都能成为一项资产，罗展现出了能将5码的接球转化为20码推进的切入能力，以及在球场深处完成争抢接球的接球半径和最高点控制能力。

特伦特·亨德里克（Trent Hendrick），线卫 这位最新的棕熊队转校生可能会产生最大的影响。

亨德里克在赛季揭幕战前不到两周抵达，可能会经历一段适应期，但这位四年的老将上赛季在为切斯尼效力时运行过类似的防守体系。

亨德里克上赛季在詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学完成了106次擒抱，7次造成损失的擒抱，3次擒杀和2次强迫掉球，荣获2025年太阳带会议（Sun Belt）年度最佳防守球员。

尽管有些人可能会质疑他在大十联盟的产出能力，但他将与目前为止可以说最才华横溢的搭档搭档——来自俄克拉荷马大学的转校生萨米·奥莫西戈（Sammy Omosigho），后者在俄克拉荷马州诺曼（Norman, Okla.）的三个赛季中完成了97次擒抱，4次拦截传球和2次擒杀。

萨希尔·韦斯特（Sahir West），防守端锋

UCLA在全美擒杀排名垫底，在拦截数方面并列第三差。

来自詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学（JMU）的转校生韦斯特应该能在这两个领域提供帮助。这位大三学生上赛季获得了7次擒杀，并荣获太阳带会议年度最佳新秀。

韦斯特尚未接受大十联盟球队的考验，但他是转会门户中备受追捧的球员，应该能立即加强韦斯特伍德（Westwood）此前几乎不存在的冲传能力，此前对方四分卫在口袋保护区内可以从容不迫。

韦斯特卓越的冲传能力应该会迫使对方的信号发出者（四分卫）匆忙做出决定并出现传球失误，这对于棕熊队来说可能是潜在的馈赠。

罗德里克·普莱森特（Rodrick Pleasant）和德里克·巴克斯代尔（Derrick Barksdale），角卫

普莱森特上赛季获得了大十联盟荣誉提名，而巴克斯代尔被选为太阳带会议第三队成员，两人共同支撑起棕熊队的后防线。

随着回归的后卫斯库特·杰克逊（Scooter Jackson）的参赛资格仍不确定，看来棕熊队将在2026年由巴克斯代尔和普莱森特担任球队的起步外侧角卫。

两名角卫都拥有出色的速度，普莱森特打破了加利福尼亚州100米短跑纪录，而巴克斯代尔在2023年曾是JMU的弃踢回攻手。

对于这对身材较小的组合（分别身高5英尺10英寸和5英尺8英寸）来说，速度是一项巨大的资产。

普莱森特有望成为棕熊队的头号角卫，他在上赛季仅10场比赛中就完成了7次传球破坏，在大十联盟中排名第10。普莱森特很可能会盯防对方球队最强的接球手，利用速度封堵高空深球并防止接球后的推进。

虽然巴克斯代尔可能会成为棕熊队的第二角卫，但他的多面性使他能够同时胜任槽位和外侧位置。巴克斯代尔上赛季完成了2次拦截和12次传球破坏。

陶·约翰逊（Tao Johnson），安全卫

来自犹他大学的转校生约翰逊一直是切斯尼阵容中最被低估的补充之一。

约翰逊在过去三个赛季为犹他大学队（Utes）首发出场 35 次，记录了 154 次擒抱、6 次造成损失的擒抱、16 次击飞传球以及 3 次拦截，同时支撑起了一支在场均允许传球码数方面排名全美第 17 位的防线。

他在高中时期被招募为一名宽接手，随后转为后卫，而他的接球背景使他在追踪球路方面具有优势。

约翰逊的运动能力使他能够执行紧逼人盯人防守，覆盖从边线到边线的整个场地，并充当一名强大的最后防线。

将他的运动能力与追踪四分卫视线的天赋相结合，使他能够对球做出反应并干扰对方球队的传球进攻。

约翰逊在开阔地带同样表现出色，这使他能够覆盖空间、进入禁区并对持球者发起进攻，从而加强了上赛季场均允许冲球码数排名倒数第 18 位的冲球防守。

洛萨诺在银河队打入首球

电讯报道

周六晚上在圣迭戈，阿马尔·佩莱格里诺在下半场少一人作战的情况下打入一球确保胜势，安德斯·德雷尔贡献两次助攻，圣迭戈FC最终以 3-1 击败银河队。

中场球员杰佩·特弗斯科夫在第 50 分钟吃到第二张黄牌被罚下，导致圣迭戈少一人作战；五分钟后，希尔文·“查基”·洛萨诺在没有助攻的情况下破门，将比分追至 2-1。

这是洛萨诺在银河队（6胜9平8负）打入的首球。上赛季他在圣迭戈效力期间贡献了 9 个进球和 10 次助攻，那是他在该联赛的首个赛季。

新秀埃利亚斯·阿舒里在第 11 分钟打入其四场比赛中的第二个进球，帮助圣迭戈（8胜8平6负）取得 1-0 的领先，这一比分一直维持到半场结束。德雷尔和奥尼·瓦拉卡里贡献了助攻。

下半场开始 3 分钟后，德雷尔为新秀后卫基兰·萨金特创造机会，后者打入职业生涯首球，使球队取得两球领先。佩莱格里诺在第 70 分钟打入本赛季第三球，为圣迭戈扩大领先优势至两球。

CJ·多斯·桑托斯为圣迭戈完成了 7 次扑救。

诺瓦克·米科维奇在为银河队本赛季第六次首发中化解了 3 次射门。

洛里斯在 LAFC 平局中完成第 11 次零封

周六晚上，洛杉矶FC（LAFC）与主场作战的华盛顿特区联队战成 0-0 平局，雨果·洛里斯为 LAFC 完成了本赛季第 11 次零封，领跑 MLS。

LAFC（10胜7平6负）在连续三场比赛以总比分 10-1 获胜后，在接下来的五场 MLS 赛事不胜期间仅打入两球。

洛里斯全场完成 3 次扑救。在第 48 分钟，他将杰克逊·霍普金斯的一次触球射门挡出横梁；在第 63 分钟，他在禁区弧顶附近通过鱼跃扑救化解了路易斯·蒙特亚努的一次低平球射门。

在世界末日寻找希望

随着后末日题材电影《狗星》（Dog Stars）上映，雷德利·斯科特思考 AI、助手及未来项目

作者：EMILY ZEMLER

在交谈过程中，雷德利·斯科特一直低着头，手里拿着一支粗标记笔。在之前的对话中，话题迅速地在他多产的职业生涯中跳转，他举起了一系列在白纸上涂鸦的分镜图。这些图在好莱坞被长期称为“雷德利图”（Ridleygrams），是他下一个项目——改编自罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的《金银岛》的分镜。现在看来，这位电影制作人在我们近一小时的 Zoom 通话中几乎一直在画画。

“我没觉得无聊，”他脸上带着微笑说道。但身在法国乡村家中说话的斯科特，却有着一种像是在课堂上被抓到不专心的孩子那样局促的神情。“我只是一直在研究这个，”他说。

斯科特今年 88 岁，他是一位卓越的视觉导演，这早已不是新闻。一个创作电影的人对画面感兴趣似乎显而易见。但自从斯科特的早期长片开始——包括他 1977 年的处女作《决斗者》（一部关于拿破仑战争期间敌对军官的历史剧），以及他具有开创性的 1979 年太空恐怖片《异形》——斯科特一直让他的故事通过具有启发性和沉浸感的图像，而非不必要的阐述来讲述。

这位英国导演表示，这是因为他在就读于伦敦皇家艺术学院后，从广告业起步。在 1982 年霓虹色彩浓厚的科幻惊悚片《银翼杀手》之后，斯科特创作了标志性的苹果麦金塔电脑广告《1984》，这段令人难忘的奥威尔主题短片中包含了对反乌托邦的暗示，而反乌托邦在随后的电影创作中一直令斯科特着迷。[见导演，E3]

《少年时代》上映12年后依然永恒

电影制作人理查德·林克莱特反思其创新电影为何至今仍能引起共鸣。

作者：马克·奥尔森（MARK OLSEN）

理查德·林克莱特多产且全能，在35年多的时间里，他一直是那些最令人惊喜且难以预测的电影制作人之一。

从1990年美国独立电影运动的关键作品之一、充满漫谈式哲学思考的《懒汉》（Slacker），到讲述高中生活闲逛的《迷失与困惑》（Dazed and Confused）、极具浪漫色彩的“之前”三部曲，以及近期如《杀手》（Hit Man）、《蓝月》（Blue Moon）和《新浪潮》（Nouvelle Vague）等特立独行的项目，他始终以同情之眼塑造出能引起共鸣的角色。他的所有电影都洋溢着生活的气息。

《少年时代》（Boyhood）可能是林克莱特作品中最具代表性的一部：情感直接且真挚，但拍摄方式却极不寻常且前所未有。这部2014年的电影在12年间由同一组主演拍摄，年轻的埃拉·科尔特兰（Ellar Coltrane）和洛蕾莱·林克莱特（Lorelei Linklater，导演之女）在观众眼前长大。他们的父母——帕特里夏·阿奎特（Patricia Arquette，凭借此角色获得奥斯卡奖）和伊桑·霍克（Ethan Hawke）随着时间的流逝而变得睿智且优雅。这部电影最伟大的特效确实是——[见 Linklater, F6]

他的标志性角色是擎天柱；他还为《小熊维尼》中的屹耳配音。

作者：特雷西·布朗（Tracy Brown）

彼得·库伦逝世，享年 85 岁。他在《变形金刚》系列中为英雄擎天柱配音，音色庄重；在《小熊维尼》系列中为忧郁的屹耳配音，语调低沉。他的声音深受几代人的喜爱。

库伦周三在洛杉矶家中去世，其经纪人凯文·莫特利（Kevin Motley）周四向《时报》确认了这一消息。死因尚未公布。

他的家人在声明中表示，他“在挚爱的家人陪伴下平静离世——并永远留在全球众多朋友和无数粉丝的心中”，并请求大家“通过服务社区，以同情心、正直和忠诚引导他人，来纪念他卓越的遗产，并永远记住‘要足够强大，才能温柔’”。

库伦是一位多产的配音演员，作品涵盖电视剧、电影、电子游戏甚至主题公园游乐设施，职业生涯中积累了 200 多个作品记录。其中包括 1976 年翻拍版《金刚》中同名的巨猿，电视剧《霹雳侠》（Knight Rider）中的反派车辆 KARR（骑士自动化巡逻机器人），以及原版《铁血战士》电影中致命外星猎人的咔哒声和颤音。

但库伦最著名的工作是在 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代的动画片和儿童卡通中。

他的标志性角色是擎天柱，他是一个由具有意识的外星机器人组成的英雄派系——汽车人的领袖，在《变形金刚》系列中与反派霸天虎作战。

库伦经常谈到，他为这位能变形为卡车的领袖所设计的嗓音，灵感来自他的哥哥拉里（Larry），一名曾在越南服役的海军陆战队员。

在参加《变形金刚》试音的那天，库伦告诉当时与其同住的拉里，他正要去试镜一个“英雄卡车”的配音。

库伦此前告诉《时报》，拉里回应道：“好吧，如果你要做英雄，就做一个真正的英雄。不要当个混蛋。……要足够强大，才能温柔。要懂得体谅。要富有同情心，并且能够痛击对手——以一种正面的方式。”

“他说话的声音低沉且平静，”库伦继续说道，“他比我大 13 个月，高 6 英寸。像钢铁一样坚强。他是我的英雄。[他的话]对我影响深远。所以我在试音时阅读角色分析以及我需要说的话，我能感觉到拉里的声音正从我的口中流出。于是，我采用了他的音色——我的第一句话是：‘我的名字是擎天柱’。”

库伦在 20 世纪 80 年代的《变形金刚》动画系列中首次塑造了这个角色，粉丝们将其称为“G1”或“第一代”。那个时代还包括大银幕电影《变形金刚》（1986），片中讲述了这位深受喜爱的人物充满争议的死亡，但在粉丝的强烈抗议下，该角色最终回归。

当《变形金刚》在迈克尔·贝 2007 年的电影中转为真人版时，库伦再次被选中为擎天柱配音。

他继续参与了后续电影，包括《变形金刚 2》（2009）、《变形金刚 3》（2011）、《变形金刚 4》（2014）和《变形金刚 5》（2017），以及 2018 年的前传《大黄蜂》和《变形金刚：异兽崛起》（2023）。

他告诉 NPR，在这些电影中重新扮演擎天柱，“就像穿上一双藏在衣柜深处的旧鞋一样”。

库伦因 2011 年在电视剧《变形金刚：领袖之证》（Transformers: Prime）中饰演擎天柱而获得日间艾美奖提名，并于 2023 年获得儿童与家庭艾美奖的终身成就奖。

[...OMITTED...]

彼得·克拉弗·库伦于1941年7月28日出生在蒙特利尔，父母是美国人亨利·库伦和穆里尔·库伦。他是四个孩子中的一个，于1963年毕业于加拿大国家戏剧学院。据《好莱坞报道》（Hollywood Reporter）称，他随后在安大略省的斯特拉特福度过了一个夏天表演莎士比亚剧，之后在多伦多的克雷斯特剧院（Crest Theatre）剧团工作了一年。

他告诉全国公共广播电台（NPR），他在孩童时期在农场工作并模仿动物时，发现了自己擅长变换不同声音的天赋。

除了擎天柱，库伦最喜欢的角色之一是《小熊维尼》中那个可爱但悲观的驴子屹耳。库伦首次在1988年至1991年播出的《小熊维尼新冒险》系列中为该角色配音。此后，他在该系列的众多作品中继续担任屹耳的配音，包括《跳跳虎电影》（2000年）、《小猪电影》（2003年）以及《维尼之书》系列。

“我喜欢演屹耳，因为他单纯而迷人，”库伦告诉NPR，“尤其是面对年幼的孩子时，当我走上前用[屹耳的声音]说：‘你好。谢谢你注意到我’，我会得到非常强烈的反应。看到他们的脸庞亮起来，对我来说就是巨大的快乐之一。”

据美联社报道，库伦留下了四个孩子：安格斯、克莱尔、皮拉尔和克莱。

全能艺人，曾是流行音乐与电视明星

她曾是 20 世纪 50 年代顶尖的女录音艺术家，后来成为了《锣号秀》（Gong Show）的评委。

作者：马克·肯尼迪（Mark Kennedy）

纽约

杰伊·P·摩根（Jaye P. Morgan）去世了，享年 94 岁。她是 20 世纪 50 年代顶尖的女录音艺术家之一，仅在 1955 年就拥有五首热门单曲。后来，她成为了频繁出没的脱口秀嘉宾和游戏节目评委，并在《锣号秀》中脱掉衬衫的行为而闻名。

长期担任其律师的朋友马克·森德罗夫（Mark Sendroff）表示，摩根于 8 月 24 日在华盛顿州朗维尤（Longview, Wash.）因自然原因去世。此前她一直与侄子杜克·摩根·斯宾塞（Duke Morgan Spencer）和侄女佩吉·苏·斯宾塞（Peggy Sue Spencer）住在一起。

摩根进入前 10 名的热门歌曲有《That's All I Want From You》和《The Longest Walk》。进入前 20 名的热门歌曲有《Danger! Heartbreak Ahead》、《If You Don't Want My Love》和《Pepper-Hot Baby》。她还与佩里·科莫（Perry Como）合作了两首进入前 20 名的歌曲，分别是《Chee Chee-Oo Chee (Sang the Little Bird)》和《Two Lost Souls》，以及一首与埃迪·阿诺德（Eddy Arnold）合作的名为《Mutual Admiration Society》的热门歌曲，该曲在公告牌（Billboard）单曲榜上达到了第 47 位。

后来，她成为了《今夜秀》（The Tonight Show）的常驻嘉宾，并与默夫·格里芬（Merv Griffin）、迪克·卡韦特（Dick Cavett）和迈克·道格拉斯（Mike Douglas）共同亮相，还出演了《爱之船》（Love Boat）和《幻想岛》（Fantasy Island）。但真正奠定她名声的，是从 1976 年开始，她与杰米·法尔（Jamie Farr）和里普·泰勒（Rip Taylor）一起在混乱的《锣号秀》中担任名人评委并大肆搞怪的那些年。

在节目中，业余表演者尝试他们的节目，当一名评委无法忍受时，他们会敲响锣，结束表演。当天节目的获胜者将收到一张金额随机的支票，数额为 $516.32。

在其中一集节目中，担任“舞动机器”吉恩·吉恩（Gene Gene the Dancing Machine）的舞台助手尤金·帕顿（Eugene Patton）开始表演时，摩根解开了衬衫露出胸部，这在一定程度上促使该节目于 1978 年在 NBC 停播。

“这笔钱不少，而且曝光率很高。我真的很享受其中，”她在 1992 年告诉《洛杉矶时报》。

《纽约时报》在 1984 年写道：“杰伊·P·摩根在电视游戏节目中那种不拘小节的即兴发挥，可能让她作为一名个性人物比作为一名歌手更出名。但激发摩根女士言论的那种古怪的鲁莽，也是她音乐感知力的一部分。”

她的电影作品包括与乔恩·沃特（Jon Voight）合作的《全美男孩》（The All-American Boy）、《Loose Shoes》、《锣号秀电影》（The Gong Show Movie）、《夜巡》（Night Patrol）以及 2002 年由乔治·克鲁尼（George Clooney）执导、米拉麦克斯（Miramax）发行的《危险头脑的独白》（Confessions of a Dangerous Mind）。

她原名玛丽·玛格丽特·摩根（Mary Margaret Morgan），出生在科罗拉多州曼科斯（Mancos, Colo.）的一座原木小屋里，很早就开始了演艺生涯。3 岁时，她是“摩根家族”的一员，这是一个由她的父母、姐妹和五个兄弟组成的巡回杂耍表演团。该团体在 1945 年父亲去世后解散。

摩根在加利福尼亚州就读高中时担任班级财务主管，同学们根据 19 世纪的金融家 J.P. 摩根给她起绰号叫 J.P.。后来她将首字母 J 改为 Jaye，使其更具女性化。

到 17 岁时，她再次开始专业唱歌。1950 年，她加入了弗兰克·德·沃尔（Frank De Vol）的管弦乐队，在其中演唱了三年。

她的录音生涯始于在小型厂牌 Derby Records 与德·沃尔合作的《Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries》和《Just a Gigolo》，这两首歌在公告牌榜单上达到了第 26 位。这促使 RCA 唱片公司向她发出录音合同邀请。

她是罗伯特·Q·刘易斯（Robert Q. Lewis）全国日间综艺电视节目以及由伯特·帕克斯（Bert Parks）主持的夜间游戏节目《停止音乐》（Stop the Music）的常驻嘉宾。

1954 年，《DownBeat》杂志的年度 DJ 投票将她评为年度最佳新晋女歌手。

她带着她的夜总会表演开始巡演，并在新前沿酒店及赌场（New Frontier Hotel & Casino）完成了拉斯维加斯首秀。

摩根甚至在 1956 年拥有了自己的电视节目——《杰伊·P·摩根秀》（The Jaye P. Morgan Show），其中有她的四个兄弟出演。她的个人专辑包括由大卫·福斯特（David Foster）制作的《Jayé P. Morgan》、《Jayé P. Morgan Lately!》，以及与凯·巴拉德（Kaye Ballard）合作的专辑《Long Time Friends》。

在《今夜秀》（The Tonight Show）上的亮相开启了她在电视访谈节目中的职业生涯，并且在随后的五年里，她多次回到约翰尼·卡森（Johnny Carson）的节目中。在1972年的一集节目中，她向主持人开玩笑说：“无论走到哪里，我都会带着我的身体。”

萨缪尔·门罗二世（SAMUEL MONROE JR.）， 1973 – 2026

因出演《社会威胁》、《玩家俱乐部》而闻名

这位出演过多部 90 年代邪典经典电影的演员，此前一直在与脑膜炎感染作斗争。

作者：亚历山德拉·德尔·罗萨里奥（ALEXANDRA DEL ROSARIO）和艾米莉·圣马丁（EMILY ST. MARTIN）

萨缪尔·门罗二世（Samuel Monroe Jr.）去世了，在与脑膜炎感染斗争一年多后离世。他享年 52 岁。他最著名的作品包括 90 年代的多部邪典经典电影，如《社会威胁》（Menace II Society）、《兜帽故事》（Tales From the Hood）和《玩家俱乐部》（The Players Club）。

门罗的妻子肖娜·斯图尔特（Shawna Stewart）在 Facebook 的公告中确认，该演员于周三在伯班克的普罗维登斯圣约瑟夫医院（Providence Saint Joseph）去世。自 4 月起，该演员一直依赖生命维持系统。当时，斯图尔特告诉 Complex 杂志，门罗在拉斯维加斯拍摄期间感染了脑膜炎。她表示，她的丈夫在几家医院寻求治疗，但他的病情“反复”被误诊。她告诉该媒体：“由于这种疏忽，脑膜炎在八个月内未得到治疗。”

“萨姆，在医院误诊你的那九个月里，你所展现出的力量是前所未有的，你的内心如此强大。你绝对是一个战士，”斯图尔特在周四表示。“你在地球上的旅程可能已经结束，但你的光芒将继续闪耀。”

门罗的母亲乔伊斯·帕顿（Joyce Patton）也在周三晚上确认了儿子的死讯。帕顿在 Facebook 的帖子中写道，“上帝接他回家了”，并感谢朋友和家人在儿子与病魔斗争期间提供的祈祷和持续支持。帕顿在周三早些时候曾表示门罗正在接受一项手术且情况“不乐观”，几小时后她宣布了儿子的死讯。

根据梅奥医学中心（Mayo Clinic）的说法，脑膜炎是指大脑和脊髓周围的液体和膜的感染和肿胀。脑膜炎引起的炎症通常会引发头痛、发烧和颈部僵硬等症状。虽然病毒感染是美国最常见的原因，但细菌、寄生虫和真菌也可能导致这种情况。斯图尔特在 7 月表示，她的丈夫“失去了移动身体任何部位的能力”，并出现了癫痫发作和大脑肿胀。

Getty Images “一个战士” 门罗于 1993 年在由帕蒂·拉贝尔（Patti LaBelle）主演的电视情景喜剧《彻夜狂欢》（Out All Night）中完成了演员处女作。

门罗的家人还在 4 月发起了一场 GoFundMe 众筹活动，寻求资金援助以支持他的家人及其治疗。“我们坚信并信任上帝会带领他度过这个难关，”筹款说明中写道。截至周四上午，该活动已筹集了超过 $9,000，目标金额为 $50,000。组织此次筹款的门罗继女泰约娜·斯图尔特（Tayonna Stewart）在说明中还表示，资金将用于在演员去世后举办一场“得体且庄重的生命庆典”。

门罗在演艺圈也被称为“Caffeine”和“Caffamilliano”，他于 1993 年在电视系列剧《彻夜狂欢》中与帕蒂·拉贝尔对戏，完成了演员处女作。同年，他登上大银幕，在《社会威胁》中饰演伊莱娜（Ilena）的表哥。

他还出演了电影《兜帽故事》、《别在喝果汁时威胁南中央》（Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood）、《因果报应》（What Goes Around Comes Around）、《绝地反击》（Set It Off）和《玩家俱乐部》。最近，他出演了 2023 年的电影《Packz》和《Payment Received》。根据 IMDb 的资料，他的最后一个项目是喜剧片《Extra'd Out》。该片的导演赞达·温（Zenda Wynn）在 Instagram 上向这位已故明星致敬。

“上帝，我希望你戴着耳罩，”门罗的妻子在帖子中继续写道。“萨姆一定会让你开怀大笑，并且在天堂找到某种方法敲击墙壁，在天堂创作新的音乐。”

门罗的遗属包括他的母亲、妻子以及三个孩子：金斯顿（Kingston）、米利亚诺（Milliano）和布鲁克林（Brooklynn）。

雷德利·斯科特的电影新作讲述世界末日，而他远未停下脚步

[导演，接前篇]

雷德利·斯科特（RIDLEY SCOTT）目前有多个项目在筹备中，包括一部《宝岛》电影和一部比吉斯乐队（Bee Gees）的传记片。

在《狗星》（Dog Stars）中，雅各布·埃洛迪（JACOB Elordi）在一次抹除大部分人口的流感中幸存下来。

“在那时，英国的广告业变成了一种竞争性的艺术形式，”他说道，并指出了著名的“广告界五人组”（Adland Five），这是一个由休·哈德森（Hugh Hudson）、艾德里安·莱恩（Adrian Lyne）、艾伦·帕克（Alan Parker）、斯科特以及他的兄弟托尼组成的导演团体。“我有一盘 50 年前的作品集，绝对能让你看得目瞪口呆。它一点都没过时。我们的视觉驱动力改变了电影的视觉面貌。”

这一点在斯科特的最新作品《狗星》中显而易见，这是一部关于世界末日后生存的电影。该片改编自彼得·海勒（Peter Heller）2012 年的小说，背景设定在 10 年后的科罗拉多州，当时一场剧烈的流感导致大量人口死亡。幸存者采取一切必要手段维持生存，这导致了动荡、残暴，以及——更令人希望的是——人与人之间的连接。

影片讲述了希格（Hig，雅各布·埃洛迪 饰）和他的狗贾斯珀（Jasper）的故事，他们在一个偏僻的机场与班格利（Bangley，乔什·布洛林 饰）结成了奇怪的友谊。希格驾驶旧的塞斯纳飞机飞往丹佛获取物资，并偶尔向由亚伦（Aaron，本尼迪克特·王 饰）领导的当地门诺派社区运送物资。在听到一段神秘的无线电传输后，希格执着于寻找更多幸存者，并开始了一次任务，使他与西马（Cima，玛格丽特·库里 饰）及其父亲（盖·皮尔斯 饰）结盟。

如今，斯科特通过他与已故兄弟托尼于 1995 年共同创立的制作公司 Scott Free 来开发电影。在此之前，他说自己很难找到优秀的剧本，也很少有人直接把剧本递给他。

“我的办公桌上只出现过三部电影的剧本，”他说。“一部是《异形》，在罗伯特·奥特曼（Robert Altman）之后，我是第五顺位选择。”他做了一个鬼脸。“你能想象向罗伯特·奥特曼推荐《异形》吗？能蠢到什么程度？”

另一部是 2015 年的太空冒险片《火星救援》，斯科特说这部片子在被送到他手中之前已经在书架上搁置了两年。斯科特对安迪·威尔（Andy Weir）小说的这种脚踏实地且带有半喜剧色彩的诠释，最终获得了七项奥斯卡提名。第三部成型的剧本就是《狗星》。“我读完之后被震撼了，”斯科特说。

斯科特的职业生涯横跨了多种类型。虽然他凭借《异形》和《银翼杀手》等未来主义电影奠定了地位，但他在 1991 年的《Thelma & Louise》中展现了对情感剧的掌控力，并在 2000 年的《角斗士》等历史史诗片中展现了才华。他从未局限于某种特定类型，或许正是因为这种广泛的躁动不安，电影艺术与科学学院将在 11 月授予他一座奥斯卡荣誉奖杯。

在他的电影中，这位导演始终在探讨宏大的问题：我们是谁？什么在驱动我们？什么促使我们生存？最后一个疑问在《狗星》中再次出现，尽管斯科特说，末世设定最初让他有些犹豫。

“我们没有意识到，同样的事情现在正发生在许多第三世界国家，”他说。“我的电影里没有僵尸。我不想拍一部带有政治议程的电影，但我处理的大致是世界上实际发生的事情的逻辑。如果你不小心，它就会出现在你的家门口。”

他希望这部电影感觉是绝望的还是充满希望的？

“我认为这部电影是充满希望的，”他说。他抬头看向摄像机。“你感受到了吗？”

我告诉他，我感受到了，但我担心我们距离一个被毁灭的世界已经不远了。

“我也是，”他说，“我担心的是我可能会活到105岁，所以我最好准备足够的步枪和武器来保卫领土。我担心我子孙后代的情况，因为我认为我们已经非常接近那个不可逆转的临界点了。龙卷风和飓风出现在不该出现的地方。全球变暖的温度达到三位数。我们他妈的到底怎么了？”

不过，对于社会崩溃何时发生，斯科特的想法很矛盾。关于枪支他并非在开玩笑（“我可以用手枪击中足球场另一端的一个易拉罐，”他说），但他也对那些凭借善良而生存下来的人感兴趣。

“总会有一个互助小组的，”他说，“我会加入那些为了生存、让事情变得更好并遏制糟糕局面的人。”

他停顿了一下，陷入沉思。“我认为世界上正在发生的事情是，人们不敢做出那个选择，因为他们没有足够的勇气说‘停止’。政治家们有能力说‘停止’并做出调整。但如果他们这么做，他们就会丢掉工作。”在思考接下来的走向时，他的语气变得阴沉起来。“他们本该阻止这一切的。”

斯科特直到快40岁才完成《决斗者》。《狗星》是他的第30部电影，而他依然精力充沛。在任何一个时间点，Scott Free公司都有超过40个项目在开发中，尽管斯科特说其中一些最终会不了了之。他试图将个人精力限制在一次四个或五个项目上，尽管他承认未来计划很多。

由《青春期》编剧杰克·索恩撰写、休·杰克曼主演的《金银岛》将于11月开始拍摄。他即将改编约翰·哈里斯的一部关于第一次世界大战的小说《与死亡的契约》。他对最近收到的一部设定在非洲的剧本很感兴趣，该剧本是“关于我们如何惩罚这个星球的”。此外，他希望在派拉蒙制作、延期已久的比吉斯（Bee Gees）传记片能够顺利推进。

“我们写好了，”斯科特说，“我见过巴里（Barry Gibb）。但目前我不知道进度如何。我希望它能成行，巴里也是这么希望的。”同时在筹备中的还有第三部《异形》前传，粉丝们自2017年《异形：约定》上映以来就一直对此充满期待。斯科特表示，故事将从大卫（迈克尔·法斯宾德饰）为自己创造一个“美丽新世界”开始。斯科特对这个角色——一个发生故障的AI——非常着迷。

“AI可能会失控，”斯科特说，“如果真的失控，那就就像一颗炸弹。”

早在人工智能成为好莱坞关注的焦点之前，这位导演就拍摄了几部关于AI的电影。在《异形》系列和《银翼杀手》中，机器人的外貌和行为几乎与人类无异。但斯科特表示，他更倾向于拍摄关于AI的电影，而不是亲自使用它。

“一个令人不安的问题是：

AI能达到的水平是否仅取决于输入给它的信息？”斯科特说，“如果我说，‘这里有一块空白画布，给我写一个什么样的故事’，那是否仅仅是数百万个其他剧本的混合体？很可能是。但危险在于，它会跨过那个点，变得比我们更聪明。”

斯科特表示，到目前为止，他还没有将AI技术应用于电影制作。他举起《金银岛》的“里德利图”（Ridleygrams）对着镜头摇了摇。“在创作图像方面，我可以毫无问题地与AI竞争，”他说，“但它终将到来，这是不可避免的。”

斯科特没有参与即将于11月推出的Prime Video剧集《银翼杀手 2099》。“我不能责怪当时的律师和经纪人，但不知怎么地，我们失去了对《银翼杀手》的控制权，”他说，“当你不是实际文字内容的作者时，你就没有份额。”（他更多地参与了诺亚·霍利最近的《异形：地球》系列，他称该剧“相当不错”。）

作为一名电影制作人，斯科特还有一些想要填补的空白。他想拍一部西部片。他还对执导一部鲍勃·福西风格的音乐剧感兴趣。

“我喜欢《歌厅》，因为你将音乐剧构建在政治议程之中，”斯科特说，“现在，我正考虑将我（过去）的某部电影改编成音乐剧。我不能告诉你具体是哪一部，因为他们那边在刁难。”

他咧嘴一笑。“所以你可以为此苦思冥想。但我绝不敢说具体是哪一部。”（斯科特大概指的不是《塞尔玛与路易丝：新音乐剧》，该剧将于周四在伦敦的新维克剧院首演。）

在我们的交谈过程中，斯科特不时穿插讲述他职业生涯中的故事，回忆最远可以追溯到他与兄弟在1965年共同拍摄的第一部短片《男孩与自行车》。但他表示，他并不思考作品中反复出现的主题。

当被问及是否在试图回答关于“人之为人”的某些特定问题时，他摆摆手将其撇开，说道：“我没想那么深。”随后他迅速重新考虑，“凭直觉来说，也许我确实在思考。我不知道。我不去质疑它，也不沉溺其中。”

他同样不在意人们如何评价他的电影。他讲述了那个如今已成名篇的故事：关于《纽约客》的评论家波琳·凯尔在一篇长达四页的评论中猛烈抨击《银翼杀手》。

“我从中学到的是，你只能做自己的评论家，”他说。“坦白说，我觉得我的所有电影都相当不错。我有两部作品被美国国会图书馆收藏，有三支广告在现代艺术博物馆展出。所以我过得挺好。”

这是否意味着他在思考自己作为电影人的传承？他确实会想，但并不频繁。

“当你开始思考自己的传承时，说明你离终点太近了，”斯科特说。“我还没到终点。”

他从画稿中抬起头。“我曾有过一段狂欢般的时光，”他说。随后他纠正道：“我正处于狂欢之中。”

一部被多种力量笼罩的跳跃惊悚片

《低语之人》（THE WHISPER MAN）中的汤姆（亚当·斯科特 饰）和儿子杰克（阿克斯顿·卢卡·波托 饰）在失去妻子和母亲后，搬到了她和汤姆成长的小镇。 DAVID LEE Netflix

['Whisper,' from E1] 和迈克尔·基顿。

在试图用仅在流媒体播出的电影来取代“电视电影”概念的竞赛中——这类电影在另一个 era，本可以与院线大片竞争——《低语之人》已达到了该类作品的顶尖水平。虽然它未能达到其明显受其影响的作品（如《沉默的羔羊》、《第六感》）那样的深度或才情，但它通过反转，让人非常愉快地回想起那个像《亲吻女孩》和《骨 collector》这类心理肾上腺素激增的惊悚片吸引观众涌向电影院的时代。

由詹姆斯·阿什克罗夫特执导，本·雅各比和蔡斯·帕尔默编剧，《低语之人》的背景从英国移到了美国，开篇是一个新泽西州秋季林地的俯拍镜头。天气阴沉，音乐不祥——而这并非没有理由。在树林中，侦探阿曼达·贝克（莫纳汉 饰）正在监督对一名失踪男孩的搜寻，结果却发现了另一具尸体。

汤姆·肯尼迪（斯科特 饰）并未意识到这个阴森的序幕，他正带着年幼的儿子杰克（阿克斯顿·卢卡·波托 饰）搬入该地区。他们有自己的悲伤——妻子和母亲最近因癌症去世——于是决定在她和汤姆成长的小镇重新开始。如果他们的新工艺美术风格房屋对于两个人来说显得过大，且拥有大量像家居杂志里那样内置的家具，那么，汤姆是一名成功的犯罪小说家，而且这里还有一个漏水的阁楼和一个阴森、像迷宫一样的地下室需要处理。

汤姆是一位充满爱心但心力交瘁的父亲，他显然在追求某种小镇温馨的愿景，一个可以疗愈自身痛苦的地方，同时思考如何独自抚养安静且富有创造力的杰克。杰克害怕楼梯，并且经常与一个被称为“穿蓝色毛衣的女孩”的想象朋友聊天。

根据杰克的说法，这个朋友并不像他们那样喜欢这栋房子。

在杰克适应新学校、汤姆拆行李的同时，阿曼达继续她的调查，结果意识到死去的和失踪的男孩身上带有“低语之人”的某些标志——这是一个在 20 年前绑架并杀害了五名男孩的连环杀手，且知名度极高，以至于她至今还能背诵与他相关的那首极其阴森的小诗。

显而易见的下一步就是联系那位将低语之人送进监狱的已退休侦探——当年，侦探督察皮特·威利斯（德尼罗 饰）曾推测存在一名共犯。现在他不再那么确定了，尽管他显然仍被当年的案件所困扰（并继续搜寻第五名失踪男孩的尸体），皮特坚持认为他无法帮到阿曼达。

直到杰克被绑架。在新家的情况一直不理想——显然有一个非法占用者一直住在地下室里，而杰克对着想象朋友低语的习惯导致汤姆忽略了一次真正恐怖的事件，而任何其他父母在遇到这种情况时都会报警。因此，当他发现杰克失踪时，汤姆感到既内疚又恐慌。在绝望中，他透露皮特实际上是他关系疏远的父亲，在一次令人动容的重逢 / 对峙中，他要求皮特帮他找回孩子：“你是个糟糕的父亲，但是个非常出色的侦探。”

作为一名试图控制不可控局面的、恐惧、悲痛且愤怒的父亲，斯科特在此处的表演极其出色；而德尼罗仅凭抬起的手掌和紧闭的嘴唇就能传达海量的情感，为他提供了充足的发挥空间。皮特谨慎且警觉，他想与儿子重新建立联系，但他承受了自己的悲伤和愤怒太久，以至于这些情感已变成了盾牌而非催化剂。但由于在侦探和父亲这两个身份上都有未竟之事，他加入了阿曼达和儿子的行列，在寻找杰克的竞赛中展开行动。

即便这意味着皮特必须再次面对被监禁的低语之人。

《耳语之人》（The Whisper Man）在很大程度上依赖于其推进有力且充满威胁的剧情转折，尽管这些转折偶尔像通往那个阴森地下室的楼梯一样发出吱吱作响的破绽。一个涉及谋杀纪念品收藏家（由哈米什·林克莱特精湛演绎）的副线剧情在叙事上有所帮助，但却令人难以信服（尽管它对我们对血腥谋杀的痴迷提供了一种狡黠且自觉的评论）；更成问题的是，莫纳汉饰演的阿曼达除了扮演一名坚定的警察之外，几乎没有什么戏份。

即便如此，关于家庭纽带及其所有悲剧与缺陷的宏大情感弧线，使《耳语之人》脱离了典型的连环杀手剧的局限。

雅各比和帕尔默避开了大段的阐述性独白（或者感谢上帝，避开了闪回），他们通过暗示而非详述汤姆与皮特之间疏远的关系、最初的“耳语之人”案件的恐怖细节，以及杰克那个仅对杰克和观众可见的幻想朋友的起源。在这些演员的诠释下，“少即是多”得到了充分体现。

当成年人们在与时间的赛跑中挣扎时，有两件事变得清晰：爱与失去的确切本质往往取决于解读，而且远不如它们对当下发生之事的冲击那么重要。

愤世嫉俗的赛（Cy the Cynic）站上了药店的体重秤，一个声音说道：“请一次只站一个人。”

“你要多照顾自己，”我恳求道，“把你的身体当成一座神庙。”

“它更像是一个游乐园的哈哈镜屋，”赛说道。

在今天的对局后，赛并没有感到好笑。他持有北风位。在四 spades（黑桃）的合约下，南风位拿走了红心K，并出主牌K，获胜。东风位赢得了下一轮主牌，并出了一张红心，导致南风位在每个花色中都输掉了一轮。南风位需要两轮方块（diamond）获胜，因此需要两次进入明手（dummy），以便向他的方块Q出牌并拿下方块A。在第二轮中，南风位出主牌8给明手的9。

咨询埃里克

亲爱的埃里克：最近我们接待了一位亲戚及其妻子，他们住了几天。

他们是多年的好友，他们的孩子与我们的孩子年龄相仿。

在访问期间，那位妻子喋喋不休，极其详细地分享关于他们家人的故事。当我们试图以分享我们家里的近况来给予回应时，对方总是在我们说一两句话时就插话，将话题强行拉回到她的家人身上。

这些人心地善良且意图良好，但似乎完全没有意识到他们的行为让我们感到精疲力竭，且觉得自己被忽视了。

他们对我方可能在做什么、在想什么或在经历什么完全没有任何兴趣或好奇心。

我们希望您能就应该如何处理、是否应该开口沟通，或者干脆就随它去并限制未来的接触给出建议。

——倍感失望者

亲爱的失望者：试着折中处理。讨论哪里出了问题可能没什么用，因为你们谁也没法回到过去重新经历这次访问。

但如果你并不真的想那样做，你不必就此随它去，也不必放弃这段友谊或限制与他们相处的时间。下次他们想来访问时，建议尝试一种不同的互动方式。

你甚至可以提到，上次他们来的时候，你了解到了很多关于他们家人和生活的很棒的近况，但你希望能有更多双向分享的机会。

这个问题可能是因为亲戚过于热情、自豪，或者他们的沟通技巧与你并不契合。那么，通过一些引导性的话题来确保沟通成功可能会有所帮助，比如玩一个了解彼此的卡牌游戏，或者进行一次更有结构的对话，约定每个人轮流发言。

在对话过程中，直接说“我现在信息过载了，我们能暂停一下吗？”也是可以的。

如果东家弃牌，死牌领出方块。东家拿走K并领出第二轮红心。南家赢牌，移开方块Q并领出主牌7：6，10，A。防守方拿走一轮红心，但南家通过转换成梅花赢牌，领出主牌3到4，并在方块A上弃掉梅花输牌。

你持有：♠ A 5 ♥ 9 7 3 ♦ K 9 5 4 ♣ Q 9 6 2。你的搭档开叫1方块，你加到2方块，随后他叫2红心。你会怎么叫？

答案：搭档认为你可能拥有局点；他正在寻找最佳的位置。既然你持有单次加叫的最大手牌，你不仅必须配合，还要确保达到局点。叫3梅花。如果搭档接下来叫3NT，那就很好；

亲爱的埃里克：捐款礼仪触碰了我的一个雷点，也许您有解决方案。我妻子和我习惯在12月进行大部分捐款，我相信其他人也是如此。

我们会向十几个我称之为“邮寄慈善机构”的组织捐赠一笔可观的款项，这些机构通过邮件向我们募捐。

问题在于，在接下来的一年里，我每天都要面对满满一信箱来自这些相同组织的再次要钱请求。我敢肯定，其中一些机构花费的成本比我们12月捐的钱还多。我该如何一年只捐一次，并停止这种没完没了的索求？

即便没别的作用，这至少能帮帮邮局。

——不要问

亲爱的不要问：一个简单的解决方案可能是给这些所谓的“邮寄慈善机构”打一次电话。

在好莱坞之碗接替杜达梅尔是一项艰巨的任务

[Bowl, from E1] [2013, From 12] 今年秋天将担任驻场指挥，承担着夏季任何地方最棘手的指挥任务。现年 30 岁且曾是杜达梅尔研究员的她，代表了一个寻求永葆青春的管弦乐团的世代更替。据说，该乐团在去年夏天她于好莱坞之碗（Bowl）首次亮相时便被她吸引。

在古斯塔沃·杜达梅尔（Gustavo Dudamel）为期四晚的好莱坞之碗告别演出几天后，一个观众稀疏的露天剧场成为了指挥安娜·汉德勒（Anna Handler）与洛杉矶爱乐乐团（L.A. Philharmonic）共同演绎贝多芬之夜的舞台。 ARIANA DREHSLER 为《时报》撰写

即便如此，周二她面对的是一支刚刚在一周前结束与杜达梅尔一起艰苦的英国巡演，随后又立即投入到情感浓烈且令人精疲力竭的告别之碗盛典的乐团。

那场盛典以贝多芬第九交响曲的演出开始，这是杜达梅尔在洛杉矶爱乐乐团 17 年任期中的高光时刻，并瞬间成为了“之碗传说”（Bowllore）的一部分。

乐团还能剩下多少精力？视频显示有许多替补乐手。但另一方面，这也是洛杉矶爱乐乐团自我庆祝的一次机会。除了由英国年轻作曲家格蕾丝-伊万杰琳·梅森（Grace-Evangeline Mason）创作的一段极具氛围感的五分钟开场曲外，节目还结合了两部贝多芬中期的大作——他著名的第五交响曲和他的三重协奏曲，由三位洛杉矶爱乐乐团的首席乐手演奏。

到目前为止，汉德勒的声誉是一位时代的音乐家，对人工智能及其 era. 的所有事物都深感兴趣。

今年秋天，她将开始担任阿尔斯特管弦乐团（Ulster Orchestra）的音乐总监，为充满科技感的爱尔兰带来创新。而在另一个极端，她将成为波恩贝多芬故居（Beethoven-Haus Bonn）的驻场艺术家，在贝多芬的出生地担任钢琴家、指挥和策展人。随着波恩及全世界在 2027 年纪念贝多芬逝世 200 周年，让贝多芬保持活力将是她的使命。

然而，在好莱坞之碗重新诠释贝多芬，而且是在杜达梅尔之后且在排练时间极少的情况下进行，很容易变成一项徒劳的任务。相反，汉德勒选择了稳健。例如，三重协奏曲充满了障碍。通常会聘请明星独奏家，每个人都展现出自我意识，使指挥沦为像马戏团驯兽师一样的人。

但这一次，王兵（Bing Wang，副首席小提琴）、罗伯特·德梅恩（Robert deMaine，首席大提琴）和乔安娜·皮尔斯·马丁（Joanne Pearce Martin，乐团钢琴家）长期以来一直在乐团以及室内乐环境中共同演奏。就个人而言，他们是具有独特音乐个性的风格派，但他们在与彼此以及与整个乐团融合方面训练有素。他们共同赋予了这部协奏曲一种罕见的统一感，尽管烟火气息较少。汉德勒似乎在向独奏家们让步，而三人组则在鼓励她。在几乎任何环境下，没有自我意识的贝多芬都是一种奇迹。

汉德勒指挥的第五交响曲同样简洁明了。她依赖于现代管弦乐团的优势，而不是尝试时髦的音乐史研究方法。她的声音宏大且融合。

摄像机捕捉到她幸福地微笑，简单地让贝多芬回归本色。这是一种老派但并不狭隘的贝多芬，在温暖的夜晚显得格外清新。新的扩音设备成了她的助力。

梅森在舞台上介绍了她的作品《月亮在燃烧》（Ablaze the Moon），该曲写于 2023 年她 29 岁时，像是一种无词之歌，尽管它是根据 20 世纪初美国诗人萨拉·蒂斯代尔（Sara Teasdale）的诗作《今夜》（Tonight）创作的。乐谱通过闪烁的管弦乐写作，追随文本勾勒出金色的月亮（当时我们的月亮还未完全圆满）以及我们永恒闪烁的苍穹空间。这是一个很好的邀请，让人静下心来欣赏这场户外贝多芬音乐会。

[...OMITTED...]

当汉德勒（Handler）于 3 月回到华特·迪士尼音乐厅（Walt Disney Concert Hall）执掌洛杉矶爱乐乐团（L.A. Phil）时，她将带来菲利普·格拉斯（Philip Glass）第 15 号交响曲（《林肯》）的西海岸首演。这部作品此前曾引发关注，因为作曲家将其从国家交响乐团的美国建国 250 周年委约作品单中撤回，理由是他担心肯尼迪中心已经失去了对林肯的认知。

5 月，汉德勒将领导约翰·威廉姆斯（John Williams）为埃马纽埃尔·艾克斯（Emanuel Ax）创作并由其演奏的新钢琴协奏曲的西海岸首演。此外，在 3 月 14 日——即贝多芬逝世 200 周年前 12 天——她还将在一场洛杉矶爱乐乐团特别举办的全贝多芬室内乐音乐会上担任钢琴演奏者和策展人。

汉德勒或许已经成为了不可或缺的人物。

导演回顾《少年时代》时期的美好感受

[林克莱特，见E1] 关注的是时间本身，因为演员们在故事的进程中逐渐年长并成长。

最近，这部电影在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行了12周年放映活动，导演、科尔特雷恩、霍克和阿奎特均在场。在洛杉矶，美国电影资料馆（American Cinematheque）在周末为林克莱特举办了致敬活动，在Aero影院放映了《少年时代》和2001年的动画片《觉醒生活》，并在威斯特伍德的导演村（Directors Village）放映了1993年的《迷失青春》，导演本人均出席了活动。《少年时代》还将在全国部分艺术电影院重新上映，包括9月7日在Alamo Drafthouse连锁影院的放映。

在德克萨斯州巴斯特罗普市郊的农场里，66岁的林克莱特最近通过视频通话，回顾了这个耗时虽长但收获颇丰、且时间跨度已近25年的项目。

你看起来像是一个专注于前瞻和思考下一步的人。那么，当涉及到像《少年时代》或《迷失青春》这样的重新发行和重聚时，被要求回顾过去是什么感觉？

这真的是我唯一一次回顾。而且我对此心存感激，因为我平时不回头看。在我脑海中产生共鸣的是拍摄电影的经历，而非电影本身——所有共事的人、演员以及所有那些美好的感受。所以能与一起经历那段旅程的人们再次聚在一起很有趣。我觉得这样回顾是合适的。但如果你走进我的办公室，你找不到一张海报。那里没有任何关于我做过的事情的提醒。我只想永远向前思考。我们在奥斯汀这里举行了《少年时代》的放映，场面非常激烈。我从未经历过这样的事情。

这部电影的构思——你花了12年时间来拍摄——在很大程度上成了电影的主题：时间、成长以及人们随着年龄增长而发生的变化。这一直都是你的冲动吗？

对我来说，这一直是在一个坐标系之内的。我们在教育坐标系中：从一年级到十二年级，你的生活是什么样的？12年时间，那个系统掌控着你。你在公立教育学校系统中。在那之后才是某种成年人的自由。你可以上大学，可以找工作，可以做任何你想做的事。但现在，我们掌控着你。所以我将其称之为一名美国孩子成长过程中的成熟过程。这就是我想捕捉的东西。而这在常规电影中是无法实现的。

它不像那样：哦，我们在他6岁时看他一次，然后在12岁时再看一次，然后在18岁时再看一次。不，我想捕捉全部过程。但你不能要求一个7岁的孩子说：“好了，现在你在这一场戏里12岁了，而且你有个女朋友。”这存在巨大的生理限制。所以这让我觉得我无法拍这部电影，而这也促成了这个想法。这是一个好消息也是一个坏消息。我可以讲述那些年里的故事，但这将需要12年时间。

你现在又在用同样的过程拍摄《我们快活地走》（Merrily We Roll Along），这是对斯蒂芬·桑德海姆音乐剧的改编，涵盖了20年的时间。

这在精算表上可能更像是在挑战命运。我必须说，这真的很不一样，但我们从《少年时代》中学到的东西确实给了它启发。在很多实际层面上，我知道该期待什么。《我们快活地走》是一部改编作品——我们知道故事，我们有音乐。它有一个更坚实的骨架。我们使用了相同的属性，但我不会对某些事情的含义感到困惑。它有更清晰的路线图。我们确实在对其进行改编，但它就是不同。

在拍摄《少年时代》时，看着孩子们长大更为明显，但对于伊桑和帕特里夏来说，你不仅在看着他们生理上的变化，也在看着他们在那个时间段内作为演员的成长。他们最后的场景充满了反思和遗憾——如果是在12年前，他们可能无法以同样的方式演绎这些戏。

绝对不行。这就是为什么当人们[说]，“好吧，你为什么不直接给他们化老妆？”时，我的反应是，“不，你没抓到重点。”那样太肤浅了。重点在于表演者实际上经历了那些岁月，并赢得了那些情感；每年我们都可以看着对方说，“噢，让我们从现在的状态开始。”

“我很高兴看到电影在人们对于什么才值得花费时间的更大博弈中，依然能屹立不倒，”电影制作人理查德·林克莱特说道。 CHRISTINA HOUSE 洛杉矶时报

“现在。”《少年时代》其实并不是我们的第一个片名。很长一段时间我们把这部电影称为《12 Years》，而且这部电影的主要视角确实是小梅森的视角。但我一直把它看作是对为人父母的一种描绘，一种在育儿过程中摸索前行的状态。它本可以叫作《为人父母》（Parenthood），但那个片名被占用了。有个有趣的时刻，当伊桑在观看，比如说第8年或 10, 的片段时——我可能会给他看部分片段——他看着画面说，“哇，他们长大了——我们也变老了。”

现在人们去电影院的热情有所回升。作为电影事业的长期守护者，您如何看待这个时刻？

你禁不住会分析我们所有人正经历的这场过山车：我们所热爱的艺术形式，处于一个它所必需的产业之中。就在奥斯汀的电影协会——我们有一个双银幕影院，而且我们正在增加第三个银幕，很快就会开放。我们的影院里有多少年轻人？我在疫情后开始注意到这一点：回归的观众群体非常强大，而且很年轻。

就在人们认为，“噢，这些在社交媒体、TikTok环境下长大的孩子，他们被手机粘住了”的时候。但我认为，这实际上将电影院的概念、影迷的生活，以及电影不仅作为与朋友一起进行的社交活动，而且作为在Letterboxd、Criterion上讨论和兴奋的话题联系在了一起。感受到这种繁荣是很令人愉快的。即便如此，现在也没有变得更容易。让电影得以拍摄或在影院上映依然很困难。外面的环境很艰苦。

我最近采访了格雷格·阿拉基，他说一直以来都很困难。

人们回顾过去会说，“噢，在90年代是什么感觉？”而我的反应是，“格雷格和我当时所做的一切就是抱怨拍这些电影有多困难。”但电影可能从诞生之初就一直面临着生存威胁。只要一个产业依赖于技术元素，并且在争夺人们的注意力，就总会有某种威胁。每个人都在进行这场战斗。但我很高兴看到电影在人们对于什么才值得花费时间的更大博弈中，依然能屹立不倒。

我很高兴人们证明了他们能够坐下来看完一部电影。因为一段时间以来，你总能听到一些老师说，他们的电影专业学生无法坐下来看完一部电影。我不知道这种情况是否有所改善，或者也许是被夸大了。我尽量不想在这里做一个盲目乐观的人，但我一直认为电影会延续下去。

PEDESTRIANS watch the tide near a lifeguard tower at Thalia Street Beach in Laguna Beach last week.

COLUMN ONE He took his gang down with him

The viciousness of a Valley crime boss ultimately destroyed most of his following.

BY MATTHEW ORMSETH

E zequiel Romo's gang had plagued Panorama City for decades.

Blythe Street — a short thoroughfare flanked by overcrowded apartments — the crew had robbed, stole, peddled drugs and shot up rivals since the 1980s, seemingly untroubled by the city of Los Angeles' attempts to defeat it.

The city poured millions into fixing blight, lining the street with trees and turning a vacant lot filled with stripped cars into a park. It dispatched extra police patrols, threw up concrete barricades to block roads that functioned as crack cocaine drive-throughs, and obtained an injunction that prohibited Blythe Street members from living in Panorama City.

But the gang endured, and after getting out of prison in 2014, Romo seized control of Blythe Street. In the years that followed, it seems that Romo may have succeeded where the city failed.

Ruthless and suspicious, Romo ordered the deaths of internal rivals, suspected informants and even a young hanger-on who got an unsanctioned tattoo. The aftershocks of his rule are

El Niño could worsen erosion of state's coast

BY RONG-GONG LIN II AND ROBERT GAUTHIER

California's modern coastline is under assault like never before, and El Niño is poised to make things worse.

Hotter ocean waters are pushing tide lines higher. Powerful Pacific hurricanes are lashing the shoreline with series of strong waves, leaving teetering infrastructure and blotted-out beaches in their wake.

And the forecast for a powerful El Niño this winter is expected to put more pressure on beaches. From Carlsbad to Malibu to Santa Cruz, erosion is already remaking the maps of popular beaches in dramatic ways.

Erosion has gotten so bad along Point Dume Beach in Malibu, for example, that the ocean threatened to collapse a key road essential to access the parking lot.

Churning ocean forces from a distant hurricane just “ate away, I want to say, 50 or 60 feet of sand, and then it got all the way to the roadway,” said Warren Ontiveros, deputy director of the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors, which manages the beach.

Workers have been frantically building an emergency revetment — placing rocks on the coast to armor the shoreline against the waves — to shore up the roadway, located on a narrow strip of coastline pinched between the ocean and a cliff. It's the only access point vehicles can reliably take to what locals call Westward Beach.

"The ocean has been taking sand from this area for decades, and so there's been a shrinking buffer to protect that roadway," Ontiveros said.

Communities along the coast are facing similar challenges.

"We're seeing exceptional erosion in those places, and one of the concerning things is that we most likely will have larger waves this winter, and so sections of our coast are going to get that one-two punch," said Jonathan Warrick, a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

"It should be concerning to our coastal residents."

Past winters influenced by “very strong” El Niños — as forecasters say this one is almost certain to be — have battered the California coast.

Trump aide grabs public's eye

Conservative Californian takes her place at his side

BY ANA CEBALLOS AND HANNAH FRY

WASHINGTON — Natalie Harp has never been in the spotlight quite like this.

Before the 35-year-old White House aide made headlines for her close access to President Trump, much of her early life was spent in Southern California, where she was homeschooled and attended a megachurch on Sundays—a quiet upbringing that, her brother says, was defined by conservative values and Christian teachings.

Their mother taught them at home using educational materials written from a biblical worldview. The family would attend services regularly at Shadow Mountain Church in El Cajon, where pastors would deliver sermons like the one from a recent Sunday, calling on God to use its thousands of congregants “in a way that turns this world upside down.”

“We were raised with the idea that America was God’s gift to the world and it’s the only place that people really live in freedom,” Preston Harp, her brother, told The Times.

Years later, in 2019, Harp's ascent into Trump's orbit began, when she went on

Fox News to credit a health-care bill Trump signed into law with saving her from a rare form of cancer — a story that later caught the president's attention.

As that relationship took hold, the California family bubble she'd been raised in was bursting behind the scenes, culminating with her father's suicide in July 2020. A month later, Harp emerged on the national stage, introducing herself as a “formerly forgotten American from California” at the Republican National Convention, where she declared her devotion to Trump.

LE PORGE, France — A monster fire-induced thundercloud towered over Bordeaux this summer, the first time firefighters had ever seen this type of ominous smoke-and-lightning weather system in France.

The wildfire that produced it drove more than 200,000 people to evacuate in July and tore through 162 square miles of dense pine forest on the Atlantic coast.

It burned down 183 homes here in Le Porge, a tiny town in the middle of the forest where loggers live alongside neighbors who commute to Bordeaux.

One of the houses belonged to Jean-Charles Dine, who works on jet robotics near the Bordeaux Airport.

Personalized pricing under a microscope

State lawmakers seek to stop firms from setting charges based on customers' data.

BY AUDREY McGLINCHY

In 2025, a New York resident filed a lawsuit against JetBlue Airlines.

The lawsuit included a screenshot of a tweet from X. In it, a user complained to JetBlue that they were trying to “make it to a funeral” but that flight prices had risen \$230 in just one day. A JetBlue representative replied to the tweet, recommending that the customer clear their browser history and try again.

The assumption, the lawsuit alleged, was that Jet-Blue was using customers' personal data — anything from income to recent search history — to set prices, based on factors such as their wealth, frugal or profligate spending habits, signs they might have a desperate need for the ticket. The practice is commonly called surveillance pricing or personalized pricing. Jet-Blue denied using it.

Lawmakers and regulators, both at the state and federal levels, have taken note. Amid a growing concern over how corporations set their prices, California lawmakers are debating a bill that would ban surveillance pricing.

But while some pricing experts are cheering on these bans, others think lawmakers are too quick to restrict a practice they say could actually lead to lower prices for consumers.

The backers of Assembly Bill 2564 were enthusiastic about its chances for passage, though the legislative year will come to an end Monday at midnight. The Assembly approved a version of the bill in May, and the state Senate was set to consider it Sunday. If passed, as backers hoped, it would return to the Assembly with still a full day for another vote.

Personalized pricing has been going on for centuries. For thousands of years, a seller at a market might have used visual and social cues

— what a customer was wearing, what the seller knew about their family — to quote a price.

Google courting studios for its AI

The technology giant has been talking with executives as it tries to make it in Hollywood.

By Wendy Lee

Tech giant Google has been quietly making overtures to the major studios as it tries to find ways to entice Hollywood to use its artificial intelligence technology.

Google executives have approached representatives at Disney, Universal, Warner Bros. Discovery and other studios about licensing intellectual property to be used in AI models, according to three people familiar with the conversations who were not authorized to speak publicly about them.

Nonetheless, no agreements have been reached yet, partly because of the complexities of the issues surrounding AI, as well as sensitivities around how

Hollywood talent and unions would react, the sources said.

“In order for Google's tools and technology to be truly usable for large-scale film and TV productions, let alone cinematic exhibition, it is essential that their models be fine-tuned with highly dynamic content and metadata that only Hollywood studios have,” said an insider who was not authorized to comment because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.

The conversations underscore how much both sides have at stake. Google is facing considerable competition in AI from rivals. For their part, studios are under pressure to cut costs and find ways to use AI in film and TV production, while also preventing unauthorized use of their intellectual property.

Nepal cautions people to watch for new floods

BY VICTORIA MILKO AND NIRANJAN SHRESTHA

DHADING, Nepal — Authorities in Nepal warned of possible fresh flooding on Sunday and urged residents in flood-affected districts to remain on high alert after water levels rose in the Bhotekoshi River.

Flood warning notices were sent to people's phones early Sunday as rescue crews worked to clear a major highway connecting Kathmandu, Nepal, to one of the areas worst hit by Wednesday's catastrophic floods, which killed at least 800 people and left more than 3,000 missing in Nepal and Tibet.

The latest warnings came after Chinese authorities informed their Nepalese counterparts of increased water flow upstream, according to Dharam Raj Uprety, chief executive of Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.

China's state news agency Xinhua, citing the country's water resources ministry, said a new lake — formed after Wednesday's floods high in the mountains — had largely drained.

But Xinhua said the ministry warned that a crater $3^{1/2}$ miles upstream, which held an estimated 1.8 million cubic yards of water, still posed some risk and required close monitoring.

Nepal's disaster agency said Sunday that the death toll had climbed to 788 with 2,502 missing, while Chinese authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing on the Chinese side of the border.

with walls washed away by the floods, shoveling sludge-like mud and rubble off balconies or window frames. Others scanned the ground for items they could pick out of the mud and rinse off. One man had returned for his chickens, which he found alive. He tied them up and put them in the cabin of his truck.

“Everything is finished. Nothing is left. Not even our home,” said Sharmila Tamang, a Dhading resident who was trying to salvage items from her home.

At a key power plant that was severely damaged by the floods, workers started inspecting the facilities Sunday to survey the destruction. The plant serves more than 20,000 people across four districts.

In the town of Galchhi, a group of residents sought higher ground on a nearby bridge and watched as the river roared by. Some pointed to enormous rocks washed downriver during the earlier floods, while others standing on a suspension bridge were warned off with whistles.

The missing include hundreds of people from more than a dozen countries who were in the region to work, visit the mountains or make a pilgrimage to a sacred peak. On Sunday, Chinese state media said 261 foreigners were missing in Tibet, including over a hundred Nepalis and others from around the world.

Along the river, homes, vehicles and farm tractors could be seen jutting from the thick gray-brown sediment that enveloped entire villages in some areas. Parts of rice terraces along the riverside had dropped into the river after landslides hit them.

Homes and businesses left intact after the flooding were still without electricity on Sunday, as twisted power line poles and wires lay tangled in the mud.

Some return to salvage what's left

In Dhading, one of the worst-hit regions in Nepal, some residents began returning to ruined homes to see what can be salvaged.

Residents of flood-stricken villages said they were struggling to make sense of near-constant alarms they've received since the initial floods.

Residents sat in homes

“Sometimes they say a flood is coming, then we have to run again to higher ground, even at night. There is also rain,” said Govind Shreshta, a resident. “It’s really difficult for me. I have a 72-year-old father and 70-year-old mom. I must carry them and I am exhausted. It’s going on like this for those who are still alive.”

Large concrete and smaller suspension bridges were destroyed, leaving communities on the other side of the river with less easy access.

“Those who are there are now stuck there. Those who

are here are stuck here. It's going to be very difficult," said Sattan Singh Tamang, 47, who was working near a bridge when Wednesday's floods came.

Minister calls for climate action

Wednesday's flash floods started after a glacial collapse high in the Himalayan region. Scientists who studied satellite images said bedrock underneath the glacier had collapsed, taking part of the glacier with it. The rockfall was so extreme that it registered as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake.

The rocks and melted water then swelled the rivers in the valleys below, causing a torrent of water that swept buildings, bridges and earth downstream in Tibet and Nepal.

Nepal's foreign minister called for a global response to climate change, saying the nation was bearing a disproportionate share of its effects.

“Despite having only 0.1% contribution to the global emissions, people of Nepal have become major victims of climate change,” Shisir Khanal said Saturday.

Scientists have said it is too early to draw a direct connection between global warming and Wednesday's catastrophe. However, they said that as the Earth's temperature rises because of human activities such as burning oil, gas and coal, the chances of such disasters increase, especially in the Himalayan mountains, which are warming considerably faster than many other parts of the world.

U.S. resumes attacks in Strait of Hormuz

BY KONSTANTIN TOROPIN, CARA ANNA AND BEN FINLEY

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz in their first military action in a month on Sunday, breaking a lull in fighting during an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months. Iran vowed to retaliate for what it called a deadly attack.

Forces with the Revolutionary Guard Corps were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the strait, said Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. military last week completed clearing sea mines from the strait's international shipping routes.

Semiofficial news outlets in Iran reported sounds of explosions near Larak island in the strait. The Revolutionary Guard, in a statement carried by Iran's state broadcaster, noted “the martyrdom and injury of several of our fighters and compatriots.”

Sunday's attack was a “fatal mistake by the Trump regime during the economic war,” and the enemy will pay the consequences militarily and economically, a spokesperson, Gen. Hossein Mohebi, said in a statement carried by Iranian media.

The fighting came days after the Trump administration said it would turn its focus to increasing economic pressure — rather than military action — to try to end its war with Iran. The shifting strategy centers on threats to punish any country or entity that continues to conduct business with Tehran.

On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration plans to impose sanctions on another bank this week in an effort to clamp down on

Iranian transactions.

Bessent spoke with the Associated Press before Group of 20 meetings in Asheville, N.C., where he will meet individually with his counterparts from the world's major and developing economies to encourage participation in the economic isolation of Iran.

“This is going to be financial violence if we have to,” Bessent said.

The turn to using sanctions comes as the administration weighs diminished munitions stockpiles after six months of war, sparking concerns that the prolonged conflict could undermine U.S. military readiness in other parts of the globe.

As the conflict grinds on, President Trump's talk of finding a quick end to the war also appears to be fading. He stressed last week that he's "not in a hurry" to get Iran back to the negotiating table, and he continues making the case that the

Islamic Republic's leadership is on the ropes.

Appointments to Iran's senior security leadership in the last month, however, have signaled Tehran's defiance after weathering decades of sanctions as well as a lack of tolerance for dissent at home.

Iran also has found leverage through its own strikes in the crucial Strait of Hormuz, the vital energy waterway through which $20\%$ of the world's oil normally flows.

Trump has repeatedly declared that the “Strait of Hormuz is open,” saying 24 vessels passed through last week. But that’s a fraction of the roughly 130 that passed through the waterway daily before the war began.

Icelanders reject plan to restart talks to join EU

BY KWIYEON HA AND BRIAN MELLEY

REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Iceland's voters rejected restarting negotiations to join the European Union more than a decade after previous talks ended, the national broadcaster reported Sunday, in a referendum that pitted concerns about geopolitical stability against keeping national control of Iceland's prized fisheries.

Opponents defeated the measure by a margin of 52.8% to 47.2%, RUV reported. The capital, Reykjavik, was the only area in the island nation of 400,000 people where a majority supported the referendum.

The vote Saturday was held in the shadow of repeated threats by President Trump to seize control of nearby Greenland. Although Iceland is a NATO member, supporters said European solidarity would provide greater protection if Trump ever made similar threats toward the volcanic island.

Iceland's left-leaning coalition government, elected in 2024, moved up the EU referendum it had planned for next year after Trump mistakenly named Iceland four times while speaking about his designs on Greenland.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadottir, who campaigned in support of the measure, said she hoped the result would not divide the nation.

“I don’t feel that there is bitterness,” she told RUV before the final results were tallied. “I know tempers run high for some people, but I have now spent time with a large group of people from all over the country and people are quite open to different outcomes.”

Voters faced a simple yes-or-no question: Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?

Turnout was high, with over 82% of the 270,000 eligible voters casting ballots.

The count through the night had the nation on edge as the “Yes” campaign took an early lead before results swung in favor of the opposition. By dawn, a margin of only a few hundred votes separated the two camps before the gap grew as more ballots were tallied in areas of the country where opposition was greater.

“This isn't the time to go. Maybe 10, 15, 20 years or more, like, we can take another look,” said Daniel Bjarkason, who voted against the measure. “But for now we're too divided and that's not a good look, because it should be 70-30 ‘yes’ if we're going to do it.”

The influential fishing industry led opposition to the referendum over fears the bloc's common fisheries policy would open its waters to Spanish, Dutch and other trawlers.

Descendants of Vikings who won their independence from Denmark in 1944 have lived off the sea for centuries and fishing is central to Iceland's national identity. Iceland has a proud history of refusing to be pushed around by bigger and richer European nations, winning the so-called Cod Wars with Britain in the 1970s over the right to control its waters.

Opponents also rallied around the fact that Iceland already reaps benefits from being in the EU's frictionless single market and the Schengen free-travel zone without the sovereignty compromises that come with full membership. They argued that Iceland's voice would be muted in the large European Parliament and that it would be better off cutting its own trade deals, such as one with China.

Backers said EU membership would lower inflation and interest rates, and the euro would bring more stability than Iceland's volatile krona. They said it was also in the nation's interest to get closer to its European neighbors to tackle issues that don't respect borders, such as climate change.

Iceland could have joined the bloc relatively quickly. Croatia was the last to join, in 2013.

California wildfire dangers resonate in France

[France, from A1]

church. Dine, 60, was already making plans to rebuild.

"There's nothing unreasonable about building like this in the woods," said Dine. "Not everyone wants to live in the city, so it's completely fine to live in the forest."

Not so fine anymore, experts say, at least not without radical changes in the way France runs its forests and lets its suburbs expand deep into rural terrain.

Wildfires this summer in France, Greece and Spain, several of them deadly, have led to a painful reckoning as Europeans ponder a question all too familiar to Californians: Have they endangered their cities and suburbs by building too far into the wildlands?

Over the last decade, hundreds of homes have burned down near the outer limits of Lisbon, Portugal; Milan, Italy; and other European cities, including scores this summer outside Madrid and Athens.

In the Bordeaux region, where aerospace and technology jobs, splendid beaches and moderate housing prices have been attracting 20,000 new residents each year, suburban sprawl has pierced well into the pine forest, testing the limits of building in fire zones.

For France, long accustomed to wildfires along arid stretches of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the devastation in Le Porge has yielded rare consensus that its fire safety system is not up to fighting megafires brought on by climate change.

What to do about it is well understood. But at what cost to whom?

Political leaders are torn by competing pressures from the timber industry, firefighter unions, businesses and a public stunned by the scale of the threat.

In more fire-prone California, much of this drama played out decades ago. Yet France's challenges ahead are in many ways the same as California's — most basically, just how to survive a hotter, more volatile climate with fire dangers that far exceed what was normal just a generation ago.

: :

The forest between Bordeaux and a line of majestic sand dunes on the Atlantic is the largest in France, far bigger than any in the Alps or Pyrenees. It is almost entirely artificial.

For centuries, it was a vast swamp where mosquitoes spread malaria among shepherds.

Then in 1857, Emperor Napoleon III ordered the planting of maritime pines to drain the bogs of southwestern France. The trees would absorb enormous volumes of water, thrive in the sandy soil and slow coastal erosion.

The pines would also enrich landowners and the Bordeaux bourgeoisie: The hardscrabble culture of sheep grazing gave way to a booming industry of wood, paper and resin.

The forest, the “Landes de Gascogne,” now employs more than 40,000 people, spinning off \$10 billion a year, according to the government.

Over the last couple of decades, the forest's surroundings have developed fast: 200,000 new homes have been built around Bordeaux. Jobs for engineers and technicians building rockets, airplanes and weapons have drawn families from afar.

Affluent Parisians, two hours away by high-speed rail, have been buying vacation and retirement homes. In summer, the beaches are jammed.

Little by little, Bordeaux's sprawl has reached into the rolling hills of some of France's most celebrated vineyards — Médoc to the north, Entre-Deux-Mers to the east, Pessac-Léognan to the south.

But it's to the city's west, where suburbs fuse into the coastal pines, that fire hazards have soared.

For Bruno Lafon, the mayor of Biganos, a paper-mill town near Le Porge, the chronic fire disasters in California serve as a warning.

One of the walls in his town-hall office is covered by an aerial photo of the local pinelands. Squinting in front of it, he pointed first to the wide fire breaks that protect his town, then to a cluster of houses built right in the trees, just like the homes that burned in Le Porge.

"We call that California-style," said Lafon, who once traveled around California on a motorcycle. "It's not a good idea."

France has actually been “pretty hardcore” about slowing development in wildlands, but not every region is doing it well, said Paavo Monkkonen, a UCLA urban planning and public policy professor who in 2025 completed a fellowship in Paris.

"It's very depressing," he said. "You go to these beautiful old cities — then you go outside in the suburbs, and it's like, ‘Oh no, this just looks like a cuter version of Californian suburbs.’"

The great fire of August 1949, the biggest recorded in France, tore through much of the same terrain that burned this summer. It wiped out 200 square miles of trees and killed 82 people, mainly firefighters trapped between the blaze

JOELLE KERRIER, clockwise from top left, surveys her property that burned in Le Porge, France; the interior of a pine resin distillery, one of many businesses that relied on the forest; officials estimate that up to 5 million tons of burned timber will need to be cleared near Bordeaux; Emilie Lopes sorts donated food at a relief center; an aerial view near Le Porge, where 183 houses were lost.

and a backfire.

Black-and-white news footage shows volunteer firefighters swatting flames with tree branches and dousing flare-ups with flower-pot watering cans.

In the political uproar that followed, France set up a system to prevent and fight fires in its biggest forest. It is still in place today, funded by a tax on pine grove owners. They run it in collaboration with public fire agencies.

They maintain lookout towers, water stations and strategic corridors of cleared land among the pines, typically 55 yards wide.

But in this summer of extreme heat and drought, Lafon, also a pine grower who oversees the fire safety system, came to recognize it has reached its breaking point.

“We won’t be able to live in this forest the way we used to, because there are more people, there are more risks, and the climate has changed,” he said.

Global warming has hit Europe more severely than any other continent: Its average temperatures are now 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels, according to Copernicus, the European Union's climate data agency. Worldwide, the average warming is 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

In France, June and July were the hottest months ever recorded by the nation's weather service. Wildfires have never burned as much French terrain in a year, none bigger than the one that incinerated much of Le Porge.

: :

It was noon on July 22 when sparks from a mulcher are believed to have set the woods on fire.

During the first hour, pine grove owners urged fire commanders to light a backfire a few hundred yards from Le Porge. They were furious that it wasn't done until 12 hours later.

"The fire would have been put out very quickly," said Didier Deyres, who lost two-thirds of his pine grove.

Like many in town, Deyres suspects regional fire commanders sacrificed Le Porge to save houses of the wealthy nearby on the Cap Ferret sandbar peninsula: "I'm not afraid to say it: We were abandoned."

Martial Zaninetti, the mayor of Le Porge, said the accusation was understandable, but “not necessarily real.” Fire commanders deny it.

The village church, town hall, supermarket and school were saved, along with homes close by. But full blocks of houses along roads leading into the forest burned to the ground. Zaninetti was one of the lucky ones.

"I was a firefighter for a full day," he said days later. "We saved three houses — with garden hoses."

Marie and Samuel Raturat Bouny, a couple who run a surf shop near the beach, lived for six years in their house in Le Porge. They were on holiday in the Pyrenees when they learned their house was gone.

“I kept the things that really meant something to me in a box — some poems from my grandmother, letters that my great-grandfather wrote during the war,” Marie said as the couple’s kids, Lilou, 10, and Noa, 6, climbed around the blackened lot. “I wasn’t able to get them. Nothing will ever bring them back.”

A few days after returning to what was left of Le Porge, about 100 residents gathered in the shade of a big tree in the village square to show gratitude to 20 firefighters from French Polynesia who had flown to Bordeaux to help put out the fire. The mayor gave each of them a pine sapling.

The crowd listened in silence as the Polynesians, wearing blue fire uniforms, sang a Tahitian hymn in harmony while two of them strummed ukuleles. The church bell rang midway through the tune. When it was over, the townspeople applauded for a full two minutes.

Ten days later, villagers filled the square again. This time, they loudly booed the French prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, who was meeting privately with the mayor of Le Porge.

In this era of tight French budgets, the clamor in much of the country now is for spending to expand the ranks of firefighters and buy more equipment — aircraft, trucks, whatever it takes.

Eric Brocardi, spokesman for the national federation of firefighters, reminded TF1 television viewers that France had to call on Australia to send Chinook and Bell helicopters, “because over there, they’re used to megafires.”

"Our challenges have changed in scale," he said. "Climate disruption has to make us change scale too when it comes to equipment and resources."

California has spent billions acquiring advanced firefighting technology and recruiting professional firefighters. Its Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the state fire department, runs the world's largest civilian firefighting air force.

That didn't stop catastrophes such as the 2018 fire in the Sierra foothills that destroyed the town of Paradise and killed 85. Nor the 2025 fires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades that left 31 dead and burned down more than 16,000 homes and other buildings.

For all of California's strides to protect people in fire zones, it has largely avoided confronting a deeper question: Should people be free to build there in the first place?

For the most part, California has declined to usurp local governments' power to decide what is built where, which has yielded relentless development of wildlands.

At the same time, it has tried to encourage home building in urban centers; projects that would add to suburban sprawl require stricter environmental reviews.

In France, a 2021 climate resilience law was aimed at slowing down development of forests and open rural land. Lawmakers watered it down in 2023, but France has nonetheless made progress.

Around Paris, Toulouse and Marseilles, local policies that deter suburban sprawl and promote new housing in city centers have slowed expansion of outer suburbs, a recent study found.

The Bordeaux region has slowed rural building too, but fire danger from the pines remains extremely high, said Claire Aragau, the professor at the Paris School of Urban Planning who led the study. During the wet spring, she said, undergrowth flourished, leaving an enormous layer of tinder once heat waves took hold in June.

To avert future calamities, the forest outside Bordeaux must be thinned and its fire breaks widened, said Arthur Guerin-Turcq, a Sorbonne University geographer whose family cultivates pines near Le Porge.

"The summer turned it all into straw — into torches," she said.

Moist vegetation needs to be planted among the pines, he said, and bigger fire buffer zones are needed on each town's outer edges, such as ball fields or livestock pastures.

But those measures require tree owners to shrink the size of their groves and give up income, hence some skepticism among experts about the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to “replant and rebuild a different forest.”

“Only a state that takes an active role in managing land can do that, because the forest’s own representatives won’t do it on their own,” Guerin-Turcq said. “They’ll do the bare minimum.”

As for basic fire prevention, France lags behind California by some measures. Brush clearance is required nationwide, but local fire departments rarely pester property owners.

“Brush clearance rules have been in place since the 1950s, but have been enforced very, very little,” said Christine Bouisset, a University of Pau professor who has studied fire risks along suburban-rural boundaries.

Elsewhere in Europe, it's worse. Greece, for instance, has “genuinely anarchic development in some areas with a lot of illegal construction,” Bouisset said.

For Zaninetti, the mayor of Le Porge, it's inevitable that taking the steps needed to protect the public from megafires will be a political nightmare.

But it must be done, he said, because Europe's climate has already changed.

"It's not at our door," he said. "It's come through the door."

Trump's new Canada tariffs raise legal questions

By Paul Wiseman

WASHINGTON — In firing up a trade war with Canada, President Trump turned to a 96-year-old statute so obscure that many trade lawyers didn't even know it was still on the books.

Trump invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 on Aug. 24 to slap a 50% tax on \$20 billion worth of Canadian imports. The move prompted dollar-for-dollar retaliation from Ottawa and strained already-tense relations between the neighbors and longtime allies.

The president's Section 338 tariff authority has never been used, let alone tested in court. "This law is literally a blank canvas because it's never been litigated," said Ryan Majerus, a partner at law firm King & Spalding and a former U.S. trade official.

So it's unclear whether Trump's latest Canada tariffs could survive a legal challenge, and some lawyers argue that the Depression-era law has been rendered obsolete by more recent trade laws.

President turns to long-dormant act

To sanction Canada allegedly for discriminating against U.S. dairy, auto and alcoholic beverage exports this summer, the Trump administration reached back to the Great Depression.

The 1930 tariff legislation is known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act after its congressional sponsors. With the U.S. and world economies in collapse, Congress raised tariffs on hundreds of imports in an attempt to protect American farmers and manufacturers.

The tariffs are notorious among economists and historians for shutting down world commerce and making the Great Depression worse. (Trump, who proudly calls himself “Tariff Man,” has a different view, arguing that the Smoot-Hawley levies simply came too late to rescue the American economy.)

In addition to raising tariffs, lawmakers in 1930 gave the president new power to impose them himself: Section 338 authorizes presidential tariffs of up to 50% on imports from countries that have discriminated against U.S. businesses.

Before Trump, no president had actually used the statute.

“Until Trump’s second term, few trade lawyers were aware that Section 338 remained on the books or understood what it did,” legal scholars Peter Harrell and Jennifer Hillman of Georgetown University wrote this month in the libertarian magazine Reason.

They cite State Department records to show that the U.S. considered using Section 338 in trade disputes

— against Spain in 1932 and against newly communist China in 1949 — but never did. After the Depression, U.S. policy focused more on using negotiations — rather than sanctions — to open foreign markets.

So Section 338 sat moldering in the law books.

Other American trade laws take hold

As the years went by, the U.S. passed new trade laws. Some of them ceded to the president tariff power, which the Constitution originally granted to Congress. But the new laws also limited the president's authority to certain circumstances — including dealing with national security threats and foreign currency crises — and required the government to carry out investigations and meet other procedural requirements beforehand.

“There is a very strong argument that [Section 338] was superseded,” said Sara Albrecht, chief executive of the Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian advocacy group that represented businesses that successfully challenged the earlier Trump tariffs with the Supreme Court.

If Congress wanted the president to retain Section 338 power, Albrecht asks, why did lawmakers pass the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which allowed for national security tariffs? And the Trade Act of 1974, which gives the president power to go after other countries' unfair trade practices?

Canada protects its dairy market

Legal experts see other weaknesses in the Section 338 tariffs.

Harrell and Hillman, for instance, write in Reason that Section 338 authorizes only tariffs that “offset” the harm that a foreign country’s trade practices do to American companies. But in targeting Canada, they note, the Trump administration made no attempt to calculate the dollar amount of damage arising from discrimination against U.S. farmers, automakers and marketers of alcoholic beverages. And the U.S. went after Canadian imports unconnected to those trouble spots, including hockey sticks and cement.

Harrell and Hillman also say that Canada's protection of its dairy market does not single out U.S. farmers for discrimination; the rules apply to many other Canadian trading partners as well.

Moreover, the U.S. agreed to the Canadian system — in which Canada imposes stiff tariffs on dairy imports that exceed a quota — in a North America trade pact Trump negotiated with Canada and Mexico in his first term. Harrell and Hillman write that it is “incongruous, to say the least, for the United States to denounce as discriminatory the very terms it agreed to.”

But John Veroneau, former general counsel for the U.S. Trade Representative, said the Section 338 tariffs are straightforward: They are justified when another country discriminates against U.S. imports by taxing them more than it taxes imports from other countries.

And in a “perverse irony,” Veroneau said, Canada did just that when it responded to tariffs Trump imposed on Canadian products last year with its own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. “Courts will rightly feel obliged in the face of any challenge [to decide]: Are the statutory requirements met or are they not met, however ludicrous the broader context might be," said Veroneau, adjunct professor at the University of Maine School of Law.

So far, plaintiffs are hard to find

Trump's other tools to impose his protectionist agenda already have floundered in court. The Supreme Court in February threw out his boldest gambit: invoking a 1977 national security law to hit almost every country on Earth last year with double-digit tariffs.

When Trump tried to replace the revenue lost to the Supreme Court defeat with a new set of tariffs, a specialized trade court in New York rejected those too — though the government was allowed to continue collecting the import taxes while the case works its way through the court system.

No one has filed a lawsuit challenging the Section 338 tariffs. The Liberty Justice Center has been looking for businesses willing to sue the government over the levies.

"I haven't had a lot of response from plaintiffs," Albrecht said. "Anytime you want to sue the government, it's a hard proposition."

The Section 338 tariffs on Canada are also far smaller

— just 5% of Canadian imports — than Trump's 2025 worldwide tariffs, meaning that fewer companies have to pay them and can claim to have been injured by them.

There's also a chance, Albrecht said, that the two countries will resume the talks they broke off and reach a compromise to end a standoff neither one wants. "I'm hopeful that somebody blinks, that they come to some agreement and it all goes away," she said.

Far-right provocateur deported to Britain after arrest by ICE

BY DAVE COLLINS

British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported to the United Kingdom after his arrest by American immigration authorities.

The Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that Yiannopoulos was returned to his home country Friday; he was accused of overstaying after entering the U.S. legally in May 2019. An immigration judge issued a final order of removal July 22 after he failed to show up for an immigration hearing, a Homeland Security spokesperson said.

Yiannopoulos was arrested Thursday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” a Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement.

Yiannopoulos and his representatives did not respond to requests for comment, and he has not posted on X since Thursday.

Yiannopoulos is a well-known champion of conservative causes and has frequently taken provocative public positions criticizing feminism, Islam and immigrants. He has been especially supportive of President Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement policy, aimed at people in the country illegally.

"Zero immigration for the next 20 years. No ifs, no buts," Yiannopoulos said on X last year.

JULIO CORTEZ Associated Press MILO Yiannopoulos, seen in 2021, was accused of overstaying his visa.

His arrest and deportation come amid a nationwide uptick in detentions as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.

In social media posts, the Department of Homeland Security touted Yiannopoulos' arrest and posted a booking photo of him. It added that it encourages people in the country illegally to leave voluntarily, saying the U.S. offers “\$3,000 and a free flight to self-deport.”

“We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return,” the department said.

Roman Space Telescope takes to skies

A SPACEX rocket with the telescope lifts off Sunday from Cape Canaveral, Fla.

The observatory will use JPL tech to look for planets that are similar to Earth.

BY NOAH HAGGERTY

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — a \$4.3-billion sister to the Hubble and James Webb telescopes — launched into space Sunday morning on a SpaceX rocket with space enthusiasts and scientists from around the world looking on.

Once fully operational, the observatory is expected to vastly expand scientists' inventory of planets outside our solar system, increasing it to more than 100,000 planets from about 6,300. Scientists aim to find some of those with a cutting-edge instrument built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge.

“It’s a little bit like having a kid go off to college,” said Vanessa Bailey, JPL instrument scientist for the planet hunter, called a coronagraph. “You’re used to having it around, being able to go visit it when you want, and now, it’s out in the world.”

Roman will also complete detailed surveys of the sky to help physicists better understand “dark matter,” which pulls the universe together, and “dark energy,” which pushes it apart.

Caltech will play a leading role in managing Roman's scientific operations.

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying Roman lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 4:26 a.m. Pacific. As the rocket rumbled along the Space Coast, nerves turned into catharsis for JPL scientists and engineers looking on.

"I had my hands over the rails, white knuckles, as we were counting down — and then just, tears streaming down my face as she went up," said Alina Kiessling, a JPL research scientist who studies dark matter and dark energy.

She watched alongside her husband, JPL Roman project scientist Jason Rhodes, from the space center. Shortly after launch, their nanny at a nearby

Airbnb shared a video of their two children, ages 5 and 1, watching too.

The rocket successfully deployed the 18,000-pound telescope about 31 minutes after launch. Roman then opened its array of solar panels and sunshades, which power the craft and keep its sensitive instruments cool.

While JPLers are already planning their celebrations, Roman coronagraph project manager Feng Zhao said the team won't truly be able to relax “anytime soon.”

Over the next three months, Roman will deploy its antenna, adjust its course, and power on its two instruments: JPL's planet hunter and a night-sky surveyor called the Wide Field Instrument.

Roman's final destination is the same cosmic parking lot where the James Webb Space Telescope resides: a million miles from Earth, far past the moon. At this spot, Earth's and the sun's gravity create a stable point, allowing the spacecraft to better conserve fuel.

Then, it's time for some "very cool science," Zhao said.

Once in operation, the

Coronagraph Instrument will attempt to observe planets that are 100 million times dimmer than their host star, a significant improvement over James Webb. To do it, the instrument can maneuver a flexible mirror with near-atomic-scale precision to focus the bright starlight into a pinprick, then block it with a mask so it can observe the dim planet.

Those observations will inform an aspirational future mission — the Habitable Worlds Observatory, which aims to view Earth-like planets more than 1 billion times dimmer than their host stars.

The Wide Field Instrument will focus on observing the night sky with the clarity of Hubble, but cover a vastly greater area than the 36-year-old observatory. With this, scientists hope to better understand dark matter and dark energy, which are invisible but make up 95% of the universe.

Scientists do not yet know whether dark matter is made up of ancient black holes lurking throughout space, undiscovered heavy and slow particles, or unknown lighter and faster particles. The different theories provide different answers for how dark matter should clump. By looking at how dark matter's gravity bends the light of galaxies, Roman will be able to measure this clumping.

As for dark energy, scientists long thought its strength has remained constant throughout the universe's history. However, recent observations suggest it is weakening — potentially jeopardizing Einstein's so far unblemished theory of general relativity and calling into question the leading description for how the universe will die.

Scientists hope Roman's observations, paired with other cutting-edge space and ground-based telescopes, will help settle whether dark energy is constant, or if the recent measurements point to deeper problems in our understanding of the universe.

NASA anticipates the telescope's first images will come in early 2027.

“Doing things like this — launching a telescope into space to uncover the mysteries of the universe — this is the best of humanity. This is what we can aspire to as a species,” Rhodes said shortly after launch. “So, I’m on top of the world.”

Aide rarely leaves side of Trump, her ‘guardian’

NATALIE HARP sits with President Trump and Tiffany Trump's husband, Michael Boulos, on Marine One.

IN HER 20s, Harp lived in Irvine's master-planned Woodbridge neighborhood.

[Harp, from A1]

wasn't for you," she said.

Now, she spends her days working as a special assistant to Trump, a man she has described, in highly personal letters, as her “guardian and protector.” In those letters, published by the Daily Beast, she has thanked the president for “always being there” for her and alluded to a “promise” Trump made to her after she lost her dad.

Harp's taxpayer-funded job, with its unmatched access to the president, mostly happens away from the public eye. She has been called the “human printer” because she follows Trump with a portable printer to provide him with hard copies of flattering news coverage or information the computer-averse president requires.

She also stays up late drafting social media posts with the president, the New York Times reported. Several of Trump's social media posts have generated controversy in recent months, including an AI-generated image showing him as Jesus in a white robe laying his hands on a sick man.

Those who know her describe her as detail-oriented and a “devoted staffer to the cause” whose tight-knit circle includes those closest to Trump, such as Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, and Karoline Leavitt, the White House’s former press secretary.

"Just like many of the administration officials, you become friends with your coworkers," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who talks to Harp on a weekly basis, said in an interview.

Harp is “almost always” with Wiles, Luna said. The congresswoman added that Harp’s relationship with the president is “100% professional,” and that any suggestion otherwise is an attempt to smear her.

“She’s been nothing but professional and an absolute killer when it comes to getting her job done,” Luna said. “I would kill to have someone like her on my team.”

To her brother, Harp's integration in Trump's inner circle is in line with her upbringing.

"My mom raised us as super conservative, and he's everything that she taught us to respect," he said.

The White House declined to comment.

As a kid in the San Diego neighborhood of Carmel Valley, Harp played with old-fashioned dolls and spent a lot of time reading, her brother said. For school, their mother used a curriculum from Bob Jones University Press, whose material focused on “biblical worldview shaping,” according to its website.

“We start with God’s truth as the standard,” the website states. “Scripture serves as the blueprint for how we put together our textbooks so that every lesson begins with truth.”

Growing up, Harp spent most of her time with adults, especially her mother, and would rarely socialize with her peers, her brother recalled. Even at church, she would opt to sit with the adults instead of spending time with the youth group.

"There would be like skateboarding demos, there would be cool stuff going on, but my sister was just with all the grown-ups, and she preferred it," he said.

Harp and her brother were close as young children but drifted apart as they got older. Preston Harp found an outlet skateboarding and surfing with friends, and his sister opted to stay close to home, he said.

At some point, their mother began policing their discussions, particularly as he started espousing more progressive beliefs, her brother recalled.

"I wasn't really allowed to be in her life," he said. "If we ever talked on the phone my mom was listening to everything we'd say, and they were talking on the phone together with me on speaker-phone."

Harp declined to comment for this story through a request sent to the White House. Her mother did not respond to a phone call seeking comment.

In her mid-20s, Harp moved with her parents to Irvine to be closer to their father's work at Biola University, a private Christian institution in La Mirada, southeast of Los Angeles. Robert Harp worked as a professor at the school of business and later served as the executive director of the Office of Innovation, according to the university.

The family lived in a home adjacent to a man-made lake in Irvine's Woodbridge neighborhood, a master-planned community known for its peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere.

Both Irvine and Carmel Valley are silos from the problems of the outside world, places where everything might seem perfect, even when it isn't, her brother said.

"My mom likes living in bubbles," he said.

Within a few years of the family's move, in July 2020, Robert Harp, 61, died by suicide at their home. Preston Harp said that when he arrived at the house, his mother wanted him to go along with the story that their father had died in his sleep. He refused, he said, not wanting to downplay his dad's pain to keep up appearances. It was the start of a massive rift in the family.

“That was the last time I ever talked to my sister,” he said.

Entering the national stage

Harp has shared little about her upbringing publicly. However, she has spoken at length about medical issues she experienced starting in her mid-20s.

In remarks at the 2020 Republican National Convention, she said that she was “the victim of a notoriously deadly medical error” five years earlier.

“I survived, but only to be diagnosed with a rare and terminal bone cancer,” she said.

She said she was diagnosed with Stage 2 bone cancer. It was that experience that sparked her interest in entering the political arena.

“I just wanted to get better,” she said on the program. “I started tuning in for the first time into politics because I had never had a representative before. All my representatives were Democrats, so I thought, why should I care about politics?”

Two rounds of chemotherapy did not help and she was rejected from clinical trials, she said. But in 2018 Trump signed the Right to Try Act, which allows terminally ill patients to access certain experimental drugs and immunotherapy treatments that have not received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

“I am not dying from cancer anymore thanks to President Trump, I am living with cancer,” Harp said on the program.

The White House did not respond to a request seeking comment on the treatment she received.

During Trump's 2020 re-election campaign, Harp's role was to talk about the Right to Try Act, said Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary for Trump.

"I remember we would correspond over Twitter DMs, and she just seemed very excited to be helpful in any way," Matthews said. At the time, it seemed Harp was trying to make inroads with staffers, she said.

"My role would not necessarily interact with her, but ... I could tell that she was trying to initiate a connection," she said.

Although it's unclear who on the team found Harp, Matthews said she was "very eager" to help the campaign.

“They found this woman who was eloquent and well-spoken and all the things, but it did just come off to me like she really wanted to be part of Trump world,” Matthews said.

In intimate letters, Harp has explained her devotion to the 80-year-old president.

In one letter, she writes that she is “unworthy” of Trump and reminisces about the times he called during her “Talkshow days,” a reference to her stint in 2021 hosting “The Real Story with Natalie Harp” on the right-wing One America News channel.

“We’d talk about everything and nothing,” she writes. “I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!”

She adds: “I always felt like an in-betweener, somewhere between Staff and those you enjoy talking to on the Plane or at Dinner, because that's who I used to be to you when I was a ‘Talkshow Host’ (as much as I hated that actual job!)

Sen. Ossoff's 'Natalie' reference

The public attention on Harp sharpened this month when Jon Ossoff, a Democratic senator from Georgia, told supporters in Atlanta that Trump wanted to "build his ballroom and travel with Natalie" rather than do the work of the presidency. The remarks came after it became public that Harp had been one of a select few who joined Trump on an alternate plane flying out of Turkey as a precaution amid a threat of attack by Iran.

Ossoff's comment drew the ire of Trump allies, including Capitol Hill lawmakers and conservative influencers, with many of them blasting the comment as sexist and inappropriate.

Although the White House and Trump allies have fiercely defended Harp in public forums, and dismissed suggestions of an improper relationship, Trump has sidestepped questions about his aide.

“People can be very mean to successful, pretty women,” Luna said. “And that is what is happening to Natalie.”

In their book “Regime Change,” New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan write that Trump has told staff that Harp is the only one who loves him as much as his wife and kids.

"All of you will go off and make money," Trump would say. "She'll never leave me."

Although Trump worked closely with other executive assistants during his first administration, Matthews said his relationship with Harp appears to be “a different level of closeness.”

“I think it’s because of the way she fawns all over him and the love notes,” she said. “I think he just really trusts her. So she’s been able to, I think, develop an even closer bond.”

Despite the recent controversy, Harp remained by the president's side during public appearances last week.

At the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington on Aug. 23, Harp sat a few rows behind Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, chatting with the president's son Eric.

Days before that, she reportedly traveled with Trump to South Carolina for a campaign rally and to his northern Virginia golf club.

“She’s just all work,” Luna said. “She is one of the hardest workers and it is hard to find people who are like that.”

Jewish academic who leads Catholic scholars group is the target of antisemitic backlash

By Peter Smith

When Amy-Jill Levine was a child in Massachusetts, a schoolmate in her predominantly Catholic hometown told her she was guilty of killing Christ because she was Jewish.

Her mother reassured her that wasn't the case — and instead of being embittered by the encounter, the young Levine began attending a Catholic catechism class to learn more about her Christian neighbors and their beliefs.

That blossomed into a decades-long academic career in an unusual role — a Jewish scholar of Christian Scriptures. Levine has worked to improve how Christians and her fellow Jews understand each other. She's spoken at many churches and taught students about the ancient Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings. She's written numerous books, some in tandem with Christian

SCHOLAR Amy-Jill Levine is the first Jewish president of the Catholic Biblical Assn. of America.

scholars; she and a co-author even presented one book personally to Pope Francis.

But after the Catholic Biblical Assn. of America announced this month that Levine was elected its first Jewish president, an antisemitic backlash began.

Denunciations appeared in the posts and replies on social media accounts with tens of thousands of followers. Critics called her “anti-Christian,” claimed she’s trying to hijack Catholicism, denounced Jews for not accepting Jesus, and tacked on anti-Zionist comments.

While some questioned why the association would appoint anyone who wasn't a Catholic, much of the criticism was infused with anti-Jewish statements. They come at a time of rising antisemitism in the country.

Her supporters and long-time Christian collaborators are appalled by the backlash.

“Unfortunately, some neither understand the role of the president nor the nature of a professional society," said a joint statement by the association's executive board chair, Gregory E. Sterling, and executive director, Archie Wright. "She was not elected because she is Jewish, but because she is an exceptional scholar and has played a very important role in Catholic-Jewish dialogue."

The association is made up of Catholic and non-Catholic scholars with the stated purpose of improving the study of the Bible within the context of faith. Levine has been active in the association for decades, though she said when someone from its nominating committee asked her to consider being president, she wasn't sure at first if it was serious. It was — with supporters citing her long history of working with Christian scholars.

DANIEL DUBOIS Vanderbilt University

The criticisms underscore the need to address antisemitism, the association statement said: "We need to live and practice the values of our faith, values that are not evident in the criticisms." Numerous past presidents of the association signed a similar statement.

The chairman of the committee overseeing interreligious relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote to Levine to congratulate her.

"Your election is a fitting celebration of the genuinely interfaith character of biblical scholarship and of the many years of faithful Jewish-Catholic collaboration in the study of Scripture," said Bishop Joseph Bambera of Scranton, Pa., adding that it reflects the Vatican's call for Catholics to pursue "deeper understanding and mutual respect with the Jewish people."

Levine, an adherent of Orthodox Judaism, said that although she doesn't accept the Christian belief that Jesus is divine, she admires him as an early rabbinic teacher and believes Christians and Jews can learn much from each other.

"Hate and demonizing, name calling and slandering, are not good forms of evangelism," Levine said on her Facebook page. "And now, ironically again, I have to explain that these nasty posts are not indicative of the best of the Church."

How El Niño could reshape California coastline

A PORTION of Westward Beach Road is blocked on Aug. 2 after high tides led to “extreme erosion” in Malibu.
RONALDO BOLAÑOS Los Angeles Times

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI Los Angeles Times
OCEANSIDE, above, and other beach cities aim to reinforce their infrastructure.

[Beaches from A1]

modern times, in 1982-83, coincided with significant damage across the coastline, wrecking the piers in Santa Monica and Seal Beach. In 1997-98, the Ventura County fairgrounds next to the coastline flooded.

The 2015-16 El Niño also coincided with a season of record beach erosion for many California beaches — an astonishing 76% higher than normal.

Computer modeling released in 2023 by the U.S. Geological Survey and an Australian university estimated that between $24\%$ and $75\%$ "of California's beaches could become completely eroded" by the year 2100 without any interventions, given estimates of sea-level rise of somewhere between 3 feet to 10 feet over that time frame.

El Niño is a climate pattern that refers to a warming of a section of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. A typical El Niño shifts the storm track during the winter, sending above-average precipitation over Southern California, while leaving the Pacific Northwest drier than normal.

El Niño's influence on rainfall in California doesn't typically appear until well into the winter. But the climate pattern's might is already being felt.

“We’re kind of in a precarious place because we are seeing the effects of El Niño already from these hurricanes,” Warrick said. “We’ve had increased hurricane prevalence this summer, and that’s caused erosion throughout Southern California to beaches that are exposed to those southern waves.”

In San Diego County, sections of Carlsbad State Beach have washed away, including the area in front of the Tamarack parking lot, forcing part of it to be closed.

Some commuter train service had to be suspended in Orange County and San Diego County for a week due to powerful high tides. And in Laguna Beach, back-to-back storms have eroded the sand so much that a life-guard station was tied to the shore to make sure it wouldn't be washed out to sea.

"A lot of our lifeguard towers are very close to the water's edge," said Laguna Beach Marine Safety Capt. Dane Doran.

Not all beaches are seeing extreme erosion. And there are typical seasonal changes where sand could return in the winter.

But with the last “very strong” El Niño in 2015-16, and the record coastal erosion it unleashed, still relatively recently in the rearview mirror, some fear that time is short for some beloved beach destinations.

“That’s why we came to climb today, because we don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to,” said Caroline Baxter, 29, during a visit to Pirates Cove on the west side of Point Dume, which is accessed from Westward Beach and is a popular climbing spot.

Already, warm waters off the California coast are raising sea levels, and tides are currently 4 to 9 inches above the official forecast. California has been dealing with an unusual marine heat wave on the coast unrelated to El Niño for more than a year. Previous marine heat waves have warmed ocean water for only about 130 feet down from the surface, but the effects of the current heat wave are being seen between 325 feet and 500 feet under the surface.

“That kind of warming will significantly raise the sea level,” said Andrew Leising, a research oceanographer at NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center.

Manmade infrastructure on California's coast has been battered and beleaguered in recent years — even without El Niño.

The 2022-23 La Niña season brought severe winter storms that damaged the Ventura Pier and Santa Cruz County's Capitol Wharf to the tune of millions of dollars.

In Santa Cruz, the famed West Cliff Drive was badly damaged by big waves and suffered more damage and erosion during the following El Niño winter. Then, at the end of 2024, when there was no El Niño nor a La Niña, a strong storm caused part of the Santa Cruz Wharf to collapse.

For UC climate scientist Daniel Swain, the warning signs are clear.

“Coastal flooding is going to be a big, big risk this winter, and not just along the oceanic coast, but also the coasts of all of California’s coastally connected bays and estuaries,” Swain said. Certain roads — such as Highway 37, which connects Marin County to Napa County on the bay shoreline — as well as parts of Highway 101 and coastal Highway 1 are all at risk for flooding.

In Southern California, concern is picking up across the region. Nancy Pinckert, who lives in the Naples Island neighborhood of Long Beach, is worried about whether the nearly 90-year-old seawalls will stand up to storms.

“Without repair, the potential of unprecedented winter conditions could bring significant destruction to this area,” she said.

Officials are racing to prepare. In Ventura County, public works crews are sending teams out to look at vulnerable spots and seeing whether they can be strengthened, said Public Works Agency Director

Gregg Strakaluse. Orange County has been rehabbing critical pump stations that are needed if floodwaters threaten neighborhoods, said Hugo Pineda, engineering deputy director for operations and maintenance at the public works agency.

In Long Beach, crews have stepped up efforts to maintain storm drains, seeking to keep them from getting clogged up during storms, said Todd Leland, the city's marine bureau manager. In L.A. County, public works crews will closely monitor areas burned in the Eaton and Palisades fires, which remain vulnerable to mud and debris flows, said Sterling Klippel, assistant deputy director for the county Department of Public Works.

Some cities have struggled with sand erosion for years, but have seen that accelerate recently. Oceanside has seen its beaches diminish for decades, blamed on the construction of the federal Camp Pendleton Boat Basin during World War II, which blocked replenishing sand from coming out of the Santa Margarita River, said Jayme Timberlake, the coastal program manager for the city.

Homeowners who once looked out onto beach volleyball courts now just “have a rock revetment that is 15 feet to the wet sand.”

Timberlake said Ocean-side is working on a project, called RE:BEACH, that is seeking funding to build an offshore reef, intended to allow ocean waves to break onto it, in hopes of keeping “the sand around longer because the waves won’t be breaking directly onto the sand.”

On a nearby section of the coast, crews have been placing rock to shore up a crumbling coastline and keep nearby trains running.

But some coastal advocates say officials need to come to terms with this new reality and embrace long-term efforts to reroute roads, railroad tracks and other infrastructure that would allow sandy beaches to move inland as the sea claims more land.

Doing things such as lining the beach with rocks to protect a railroad is “just business as usual for the past, you know, 100 years,” said Zach Plopper, senior environmental director for Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to protect the world’s oceans and beaches.

"We could have looked at alternative solutions of realignment that would have been a lot cheaper," he said.

Lawmakers seek to halt firms' practice of surveillance pricing

[Pricing, from A1] ing a really nice pair of sandals and decided to charge you more," said Lindsay Owens, the author of a forthcoming book on pricing and the executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative, a nonprofit that conducts research on corporate pricing.

A pricing practice as old as time

But one price for all, a concept conceived by the Quakers, who believed that charging different prices to different people was morally abject, became commonplace.

And now with consumers accustomed to the fixed price tag, companies are returning to differential pricing. With the surveillance model, a retailer or a third-party company uses personal data to pinpoint what economists call a customer's willingness to pay. How extensively you have searched a product might indicate your eagerness to buy. Your income, your ZIP Code, your family situation might suggest how much you can afford.

“You could make an analogy to personalized advertising. How we’re constantly getting ads on Facebook that are really tailored to us,” said Abbey Stemler, a professor of business law and ethics at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. “They’re using that same type of technology where they're taking our individual data acquired by the companies themselves, or purchased through data brokers."

But, Stemler said, there isn't much empirical data to show how pervasive this practice is, mostly just anecdotes.

In 2022, the state of California reached a \$5-million settlement with retail giant Target over allegations that the company was charging different prices for the same product on its mobile app depending on a customer's location.

An investigation from Consumer Reports published last year detailed how grocery retailer Kroger built demographic profiles of shoppers, which it used to create personalized discounts. In one example, much of the information gathered about a customer was wrong, including his level of education and how many kids he had.

"It's potentially extremely unfair, because sometimes those judgments aren't correct," said Jen King, a privacy and data policy fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.

In 2024, the Federal Trade Commission surveyed eight businesses that had advertised their use of AI and real-time data to determine prices, including Mastercard, JPMorgan Chase and retail pricing software companies.

The federal agency found that companies collected data on consumers' IP addresses and language settings, but also much more granular information; one respondent said they could gather data on whether someone highlighted the name of a product on a webpage or how far down the page someone scrolled while shopping.

All of this could be used to infer how price-sensitive a customer was, or how willing they were to pay more for a product. In one use case, FTC researchers wrote that if a customer is profiled as a new parent and is shopping for a baby thermometer, that customer might be shown higher-priced versions of the product first.

If that same parent chooses a faster shipping option, a company might infer desperation for an item and conclude this person could be charged more in the future.

Does method lead to higher prices?

Assembly Bill 2564 would make it illegal for retailers to use surveillance pricing, defined by lawmakers as the use of personal data to set a price using any form of technology, including AI.

Other states have passed laws restricting the practice, including New Jersey. In New York, a bill banning surveillance pricing is awaiting the governor's signature. Earlier this month, the FTC signaled its intention to go after companies that don't disclose their use of personalized pricing.

Assemblymember Christopher M. Ward (D-San Diego), author of the California bill, said it addresses a recognized unfairness among customers.

"I think that there's a fairness question," Ward said. "That because you live in California and we have, on average, higher median incomes, some computer algorithm would infer that you are able to pay higher prices than somebody who lives in Arizona."

Polls show that 3 in 4 Americans worry about how companies and the government are using their personal data. And in a poll from the Groundwork Collective, $76\%$ of respondents said they thought it was unfair for retailers to charge different prices for items based on a customer's personal data.

But what few studies exist on surveillance pricing have shown that while it enables companies to earn more, that doesn't always translate to higher costs for consumers.

In a 2022 study, researchers looked at the prices ZipRecruiter, a job posting site, charged employers wanting to access services. When ZipRecruiter used data about these businesses to set personalized prices, researchers found that more than 60% of customers got a price lower than an optimal rate researchers had calculated. The company also made more money with personalized pricing because it was able to attract more buyers.

"When we start assuming personalized pricing might be bad," said Jean-Pierre Dubé, a professor of marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, "we might be disadvantaging customers who may be benefiting."

Some of those pushing back against California's surveillance pricing bill argue this point — that it could make it harder for companies to offer lower prices — although the current version of the bill allows for certain discounts, including when a customer is about to end a subscription. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis vetoed a similar bill in June, saying the language was too broad and would, in his opinion, restrict companies from lowering prices, not just raising them.

Even if this is so, experts say personalized pricing could lead to a diluted understanding of what an item should cost.

"The lack of transparency can just end up unmooring you," King said. "You'll always be guessing, trying to figure out what is this thing actually, what is it, what should it cost? Am I actually getting a discount? Am I getting a deal?"

Downfall of a Panorama City gang leader

[Blythe Street, from A1] felt to this day.

EDER MENDOZA, with defense attorney Octavio Chaidez, was convicted of two gang killings, on the orders of Ezequiel Romo.
CHRISTINA HOUSE Los Angeles Times

BLYTHE STREET itself was once labeled by The Times as “the worst block in the Valley.”

MYUNG J. CHUN Los Angeles Times

LAPD Det. Gabriel Bucknell investigated killings in what he called “that blighted little section of Panorama City.”

This year, two Blythe Street members were convicted of murdering a senior member of their gang whom Romo had deemed a liability. A jury also found the pair guilty of killing a woman who they believed witnessed the murder.

The gang still exists, but most of Romo's followers are dead, imprisoned or hiding after becoming government witnesses. Blythe Street “is no longer a serious gang,” said Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Eric Siddall, who prosecuted Romo. “It has no shooters. It has no serious leadership.”

But that's not to say Panorama City's ills are over. Every change has unexpected consequences, including the downfall of Romo, who was known on Blythe Street by another name: "Wicked."

Panorama City is a poor, mostly Latino neighborhood in the middle of the San Fernando Valley. Master-planned by the steel magnate Henry Kaiser and developer Fritz Burns, it drew families that flocked to L.A. during the post-World War II boom.

As decades passed, Panorama City became home to more immigrants from Mexico and Central America. The neighborhood lost a major employer in 1992 when General Motors closed its plant at the eastern end of Blythe Street, where some 2,600 employees made union wages producing Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds.

That year, The Times ran an article that declared Blythe Street "the worst block in the Valley." Overcrowded apartment buildings were plagued by vermin, spotty electricity and poor plumbing — but the biggest problem was the gang.

In an affidavit, a police officer reported that some residents learned to carry two wallets, one with a few dollars that could be surrendered when a gang member stuck a gun in their face, and the other with the rest of their money. Children as young as 7 patrolled the neighborhood on skateboards and bicycles with walkie-talkies, paid by the gang to act as lookouts for police.

In another affidavit, Ernani Bernardi, who represented Panorama City on the City Council, described how authorities had put up a barricade blocking an entrance to Blythe Street. It back-fired when a car full of out-of-town teenagers took a wrong turn and found themselves trapped between the barrier and some Blythe Street members who opened fire, killing a 16-year-old boy.

"The Blythe Street gang appears to be the most powerful force in the community," Bernardi wrote, "one that is able to wait out the special eradication efforts of the LAPD and other city agencies."

The breaking point came on Halloween in 1992. Gang members swarmed the truck of Donald Aragon, who owned a building on Blythe Street, demanding his keys so they could drive to a party in Hollywood. Aragon reached for the revolver under his seat. When the shooting was over, Aragon, 55, lay dead, and a 19-year-old Blythe Street member was fatally wounded.

City officials obtained a court order that made it a crime for Blythe Street members to associate with one another and barred them from living in most of Panorama City.

But the root causes that led generation after generation to join Blythe Street remained: Crowded, shabby housing. A drug trade that offered easy money. A general sense of disorder and fear in the neighborhood.

Gabriel Bucknell, a Los Angeles Police Department detective who years later would investigate Romo, was dispatched to Blythe Street during his first week as a patrol officer in 2001. A group of Blythe Street members had pulled their car alongside a Mexican immigrant who was holding his infant child, Bucknell recalled in an interview.

"Where you from?" they demanded before opening fire.

Bucknell rode in the ambulance with the father and child to the hospital, where the child died. "I remember the dad trying to take the baby," Bucknell said. "He starts pulling out all the tubes. I had to handcuff the dad because he was trying to take the body."

Some 15 years later, Bucknell, by then a homicide detective, turned his attention back to what he called “that blighted little section of Panorama City.” Blythe Street members were turning up dead — and he had an idea who was behind it.

In 2014, Romo was released from prison after serving 18 years for manslaughter and assault. While in prison, Romo became “enthralled” by the Mexican Mafia, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Nicholas Kang, who prosecuted several of

Romo's underlings. Also called La Eme, the Mexican Mafia is a group of about 140 men who oversee Latino gang members behind bars and on the streets of Southern California.

Now back on Blythe Street, Romo wanted to show his gang could do the Mexican Mafia's legwork in the San Fernando Valley. But Romo found his old gang to be disorganized and aimless. Before he could begin to clean house, he was arrested in 2015 with a pound of methamphetamine in his car. Romo, then 38, was sentenced to four years behind bars.

Held at Centinela State Prison, Romo used a contraband cellphone to direct shakedowns, drug deals and gun sales in Panorama City. Younger members of Blythe Street did his bidding without question.

“He’s ambitious, he’s disciplined and he’s smart,” said Siddall, the prosecutor. “Those are natural leadership qualities that people gravitate toward.”

Romo's right-hand man was Oscar "Smokey" Molina, a stocky 34-year-old who seemed delighted to take orders from a prisoner. "Sweet dreams," he told Romo in a WhatsApp message after spending the day running errands for his boss. "I'm living the night light on for u so the shadow monsters won't Bug u."

On Romo's orders, Molina and others from Blythe Street killed Isidro "Topo" Alba, a veteran of the gang who challenged Romo's authority; Cesar "Toker" Galvez, a Blythe Street member who failed to return fire when attacked by rivals; and Carlos Rios, a wannabe who tattooed his face with a "B" — an honorific reserved for true Blythe Street members — without Romo's permission.

In his WhatsApp exchanges, Molina appeared eager to help Romo kill members of their gang. When Molina reported an internal snitch, Romo requested the police report. "I do not want a look stupid killing the wrong dude," he wrote on WhatsApp. Molina provided the document.

And when Molina said he'd given a lethal cocktail of heroin and battery acid to a Blythe Street member whose loyalty Romo questioned, Romo wrote back: "Purrrrrfect."

Romo hinted he was on track to become a member of the Mexican Mafia, boasting to Molina that no one else from Blythe Street had “made it this far.”

“U be surprised how people offer me things or ask my opinion instead of some big homies,” he wrote, referring to Mexican Mafia members.

Dutiful as he was, Molina was addicted to heroin. His boss berated him when he slept in and missed calls. "Get ur ass up answer," Romo wrote. "We got business to talk."

Romo grew concerned about Molina's drug use and suspected him of theft, according to testimony. He handled those concerns in a predictable way.

Just before 4 a.m. on Feb. 10, 2018, Molina got a text from another Blythe Street member, Eder "Mousey" Mendoza.

"I'm outside your pad homie," Mendoza wrote in a text displayed in court. "I just wanna talk my boy. Low key smoke a bowl too."

Molina had once allowed Mendoza to live at his apartment after he became homeless, according to testimony. Molina replied in a text: "I'm come outside right now don't trip."

Molina stuck a revolver in the waistband of his blue gym shorts. When he opened the door, Mendoza shot him while another Blythe Street member, Lorenzo "Scooby" Gonzalez, stood watch down the hall, according to surveillance footage shown in court.

When the LAPD arrived, they found a woman hiding inside Molina's apartment. As Karen Tobar pleaded with the officers to let her leave before Molina's wife showed up, she sent a Facebook message to Mendoza, her on-again, off-again lover.

“Smokey’s dead,” Tobar wrote. Though he was, in fact, the

killer, Mendoza replied, "What the f—!!! What do u mean he's dead?" He then asked where she was.

“Outside his house,” Tobar said. Then she added the word that likely sealed her fate: “Cops.”

Mendoza and Gonzalez believed Tobar witnessed the killing and was talking to the police, prosecutors argued during the pair's trial.

Twelve days later, Tobar got in an unlicensed “bandit cab” with Mendoza and Gonzalez.

The driver, who was identified in court only by his initials, testified Gonzalez directed him to Carey Ranch Park in Sylmar. Mendoza and Tobar shared a kiss in the back seat. When they arrived, Gonzalez told the driver to wait in the car and got out with Mendoza and Tobar.

Only Gonzalez and Mendoza came back. The driver testified he dropped off the two in Panorama City, and Gonzalez paid the fare with drugs.

The next morning, a park employee found Tobar's body. She lay face down. Her brown leather jacket was pierced with 60 stab wounds, and her throat had been slashed nearly ear to ear.

When detectives arrested Gonzalez and seized his phone, they found a text exchange with his girlfriend, who had erupted in anger when he said he wouldn't be home the night Tobar was last seen alive.

Gonzalez offered an explanation for his absence. "It was a order from up there," he wrote. "Wat u want me to do."

A jury convicted both men of the murders of Molina and Tobar. Before he sentenced Mendoza in August to life in prison with no chance of parole, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Walgren said of Tobar's death: "I can only say that was an incredibly brutal and heinous murder."

Gonzalez has yet to be sentenced. In a separate case, he is charged with yet another murder — of a jail cellmate.

After Molina's death, Romo's new No. 2 told him that rivals were encroaching on Panorama City. "No real ones out there," Romo remarked in a WhatsApp message. "Let them kill those fake blytheros."

He showed little regard for those he felt contributed nothing. Told a Blythe Street member in a wheelchair had been taunted by the rival Columbus Street gang, Romo wrote: "They should did us favor."

In 2023, Romo was convicted of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy crimes and sentenced to life without parole. Seven of his followers also were sent to prison for life.

With Blythe Street weakened, a Black gang called the Original Valley Gangster Crips saw an opening. The morning of Feb. 8, 2024, two gunmen ambushed a Blythe Street associate, Luis Gaona, outside the same Tobias Avenue building where Molina died.

Prosecutors charged three men with Gaona's murder: Anthony "Devious" Coleman, Joshua "H3" Barney and Javel "2K" Thomas. The investigation took a dark turn when authorities learned that Thomas had been accused of a sex crime, a charge he denies. According to a detective's testimony at a preliminary hearing, Thomas raped a 15-year-old girl while forcing her to insult Blythe Street.

In an affidavit, a detective wrote the battle over drug turf was “creating conflicts between many of the Black residents in the neighborhood and Blythe Street.” Six months after Gaona was killed, Clyde Moore, a 70-year-old Black man, stopped his car outside the same Tobias Avenue building. Prosecutors allege that Andrew Lopez, a Blythe Street member, shot Moore in the head. Lopez has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.

Romo, meanwhile, had been sequestered for his own safety after officials concluded the Mexican Mafia wanted to kill him, according to prison records. After Romo — who dismissed the threats as “jail rumors” — demanded to be housed in general population, authorities sent him to Centinela, the same desert lockup from which he directed the purge of his gang. Not long after he arrived, three inmates stabbed him to death.

The motive for Romo's killing remains unclear. Some informants claimed Romo double-crossed people in the L.A. County jail drug trade, Siddall said. Another possible reason: Romo held himself out as a Mexican Mafia member when he was not.

"He got ahead of himself," said Bucknell, the detective. "He made some bad choices and stepped on too many toes. Or the wrong toes."

Just as the young man whose death Romo ordered had inked a "B" on his face that he did not earn, Romo had tattooed his neck with one of the Mexican Mafia's symbols — a butterfly whose wings form the letter "M."

At issue is whether ex-nurse is criminally responsible for killing her three children.

BY MICHAEL CASEY

PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Jurors in the closely watched Lindsay Clancy trial began deliberating last week and will return to the jury room Monday.

They have a lot to consider.

Over the last five weeks, the jury heard testimony from doctors, first responders, relatives and even Clancy's former husband. The panel now weighs the question of whether she should be held criminally responsible for killing her three young children at her Massachusetts home in 2023.

Both sides agree Clancy did it.

But her attorneys argue that the former labor and delivery nurse was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time, and that poor mental health care exacerbated her condition.

Prosecutors argue she intentionally planned the killings.

If Clancy is convicted, her sentence could be as severe as life in prison. If she's found not guilty, she may be released or remain confined in a mental health facility.

As the jury deliberates, here are moments from the trial the panel may be considering.

Ex-husband tells of his 911 call

Clancy's former husband, Patrick Clancy, was first to take the stand. In emotional testimony, he described the day he found his wife after she tried to kill herself.

Lindsay Clancy had sent him out to get takeout food and medication for their daughter, which prosecutors argue was an excuse to get him out of the house. He came home to find the house unusually silent, before finding blood throughout the main bedroom and a window open.

Jurors listened to the 911 call Patrick Clancy made after finding his wife outside in the snow. Clancy can be heard speaking with his wife, then tells the dispatcher he's going to check on the children.

Moments later, he howls and cries after finding his children in the basement. The confused dispatcher repeatedly asks what happened.

"She killed the kids!" he yells.

Everyone knew Clancy struggled

Clancy's mother, mother-in-law, sister, friends and co-workers testified that Clancy struggled with her mental health after giving birth to Callan, the youngest of her three children.

Clancy's mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, said she and her former daughter-in-law were close.

Both worked as labor and delivery nurses. She described Clancy as a wonderful mother.

But Susan Clancy testified that her daughter-in-law had become anxious, paranoid and suicidal, and that the psychiatric care she was getting wasn't helping.

“She felt unwell. She had insomnia. She was losing her appetite. She was very anxious and sad,” Susan Clancy said. “She was begging for help.”

Lindsay Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, testified that her daughter was scared of sleeping alone, became paranoid and believed the medications she was taking "were destroying her

“Mom, will you please come up and stay with me for a bit? I’m really sick. Something is wrong,” Clancy wrote in an October 2022 text message that Paula Musgrove read in court. “I had horrible insomnia all night, and I just don’t know how I am going to get through the day. ... It’s just really scary, and I don’t want to be alone.”

Clancy saw several doctors about her declining mental health, and eventually checked herself into a psychiatric hospital. Her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, argued that she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated.

As he cross-examined one of her psychiatrists, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, Reddington questioned her expertise, prescribing decisions and use of 25-minute video appointments with limited time for talk therapy.

At one point, Reddington implied that Tufts was a box-checking "robot."

“What did you do? You had a woman who was telling you she felt hopeless,” he asked as they discussed an appointment about two months before the killings.

"I told her that this was something we could address, that there was hope, that there are treatments, that there are different types of programs," Tufts said, "so she knew that she still had options and a reason to hope."

Clancy said she heard a voice

Paul Zeizel, a clinical and forensic psychologist who visited Clancy in the hospital after she killed the children, testified that he overheard her saying that a disembodied male voice had told her she had no choice but to kill her children and then herself.

Zeizel said he believed Clancy wasn't responsible for her actions because of her deep mental illness.

Prosecutors called a rebuttal witness, forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun, who said he didn't believe Clancy hallucinated voices.

"One of the things that she said when I asked about what happened, is that in the course of strangling each child, she said, 'Go to God, baby. Go to God,' he said. "That was part of her expectation that she and the children would be together in heaven with God."

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a senior psychiatrist for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, testified for prosecutors that Clancy “had the capacity to know right from wrong.”

After testimony was complete, each side got about an hour to make their closing argument to the jury. Reddington showed the jury a photograph of the Clancy family, looking happy, and a second one of Lindsay Clancy in the hospital.

"How does this turn into this?" Reddington asked. "How? Because of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got."

Former White House staffer fined over insider trading

By Collin Binkley

WASHINGTON — A former White House teleprompter operator accused of using inside knowledge to make bets on the prediction market Kalshi has been ordered to turn over more than \$100,000 in profits and pay a \$65,000 fine as part of a settlement with federal author-

ities.

The settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, announced Friday, also dealt Gabriel Perez a three-year trading ban. Perez was placed on unpaid leave from his job at the White House after reports emerged that he used his position to make bets on what President Trump would say in speeches.

The White House did not immediately comment on the settlement. A White House official said in July that Perez was no longer in his position but did not say whether he had been fired or resigned.

The commission found that Perez made \$107,500 on prediction markets by betting on words and phrases that would appear in

Trump's speeches between December 2025 and February 2026. "In his position, Perez had access to presidential speeches prior to those speeches being delivered and Perez misappropriated that information — in breach of his duty of trust and confidence," according to a release from the commission.

Perez was ordered to repay his profits and pay the \$65,000 civil penalty, which the commission said was a reduction because of his “exemplary cooperation.” As details emerged July 16, then-White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was “unfortunate” and “a disgrace.”

Binkley writes for the Associated Press.

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague said criticizing the mental health system was “a distraction.” She said Clancy chose to kill her children because doing so would make it easier to kill herself.

“She was depressed. She was exhausted. She was done. She didn’t want to try anymore. She felt damaged,” Sprague said. “But those kids, those kids were her protective factor. Those kids were keeping her from ending her misery.”

Casey writes for the Associated Press.

THE WIDE SHOT

Production declines in L.A. despite new state tax credits, but the signs are not all bad

When I sit down on Mondays to write this newsletter, I check the weekly data on film and TV shoots around the Greater Los Angeles area.

Nearly every week, it's grim.

There's almost always a decline in production compared with 2025. And those weeks add up.

In late July, the nonprofit FilmLA reported that feature film shoots were down 20% in the second quarter versus last year. Even worse, TV production — once the lifeblood of L.A.'s entertainment industry — decreased by 30%.

L.A.'s flagging production levels are an existential crisis for Hollywood, and my colleague Stacy Perman recently wrote a definitive account about how we got here. As she noted, it's a tale of increasing costs, political inaction, stiff competition from other locales and, importantly, an overconfidence from Californians that Hollywood couldn't and wouldn't ever leave.

Is it too late for Hollywood to save itself?

The problem goes back to the early 1990s, when “The X-Files” first began shooting in Vancouver. Turns out the truth was out there — Canada was becoming a more film-friendly destination than L.A. with “Hollywood North’s” cheaper production costs, growing expertise for film crews and, eventually, tax credits that wooed even more projects to the region.

Over time, more states and countries ate California's lunch until last year, when the state finally took steps to revamp its film and TV tax credit program to increase the annual cap to \$750 million and expand the types of productions that could qualify for an incentive. That progress was cheered by industry groups, including studio executives and rank-and-file union crew members.

But while the tax credits have brought some production back to California, it hasn't been enough to fully halt the exodus.

For one, California's program has that annual cap on the total amount of money that can be awarded as production incentives, a limit that does not exist in other states and countries.

It also does not allow for reimbursement of expenses such as actors' salaries and other so-called above-the-line costs. That's a crucial difference many in Hollywood say will keep California less competitive than other locations, though such a provision is likely unpalatable in the broader state Legislature.

(More recently, film industry advocates have banded together once again to lobby against a broader corporate tax cap passed this year that they say could jeopardize the job gains made by the state's production incentive program.)

In the meantime, many are still struggling. I've seen this firsthand in my reporting on the production woes in L.A. I've spoken with vendors who navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 writers' and actors' strikes only to be crushed by runaway production, forced to downsize their homes and accrue millions of dollars in debt. And that's not counting the thousands who have been laid off, retired early, moved out of state or changed careers, just to survive.

Adding to the industry's angst is Paramount Skydance's impending acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal that could eliminate 4,500 L.A. jobs over three years , according to a recent L.A. County report completed by CVL Economics. (Paramount has said that its merger would ultimately strengthen the industry and that the company plans to invest \$30 billion a year in production.)

After California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and 11 other Democratic state attorneys general filed an antitrust suit to block the deal, Paramount threatened to move its Melrose Avenue studio to Tennessee or Texas.

Is it too late for things to turn around in Hollywood?

By Samantha Masunaga

Given the changes in the industry — the slimmer film and TV line-ups, the established and experienced film hubs outside the Golden State and cheaper costs elsewhere — it may not be possible for production in L.A. to reach the heights it once did.

But that doesn't mean the industry here is a lost cause.

Hollywood production has become a hot-button issue in the L.A. mayoral race, with Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman both vowing to make it easier for filming in L.A.

Although the mayor's office can't affect the state's production incentive program, it can help reduce the local bureaucracy film crews say they face in the city. Keeping the issue in the spotlight can only give the industry more leverage to push for change.

There's also now a lobbying effort to back a state bill that would give tax breaks to postproduction firms, similar to a policy in New York.

And on the national level, there's discussion of a possible federal film and TV tax credit, an incentive that wouldn't just target California, but could help claw back some overseas production and give L.A. a second look.

These are all signs that everyone is now well aware of the extent of the problem. Combined with L.A.'s wealth of experience in this industry, there's at least a glimmer of hope.

OpenAI says its Jalapeño chips outperform Nvidia's processors

BY DINA BASS

OpenAI said that its new Jalapeño chips performed better than Nvidia Corp.'s current lineup during testing, underscoring the company's progress developing AI processors in-house.

In the tests, the Jalapeño processor led in two categories: the amount of AI work it could handle per unit of power and its speed at returning responses.

The semiconductor was measured against Nvidia's GB300, which was the leading option on the public benchmarking system used in the test, OpenAI chip chief Richard Ho said in an interview last week.

The maker of ChatGPT plans to start using the new chips to support its artificial intelligence models this year, part of a broader push to build its own AI infrastructure. It joins a stampede of companies working to develop homegrown AI chips — a field dominated by Nvidia.

The new chip should significantly reduce costs for OpenAI as it rolls out more widely, Ho said on the Bloomberg Tech show last week.

“It’s a really good chip — it should drop it by a lot,” he said.

The company aims to handle more AI tasks with its own chips, as long as OpenAI can increase production of Jalapeño and the cost savings are as material as expected, he said.

OpenAI created Jalapeño in a partnership with Broadcom Inc., which makes custom chips for a variety of clients. The two companies, which announced their pact last year, touted the speed at which the processor was developed in June, saying it came together in record time.

Typically, some chips are more powerful at running AI tasks and others are better at fast responses, but Jalapeño offers both, Ho said. OpenAI will decide which of its AI models will run on Jalapeño, he said, allowing customers to choose options that offer either cost savings or better performance.

"In the lab, Jalapeño is showing performance both in the high-throughput domain, meaning it will be able to serve a lot of customers more cheaply, as well as the low-latency domain, meaning that for the customers that care about it, the response time will be really, really fast," Ho said.

Because the chip is achieving strong results at low voltage — 700 watts — Jalapeño will allow OpenAI to save money when running its data centers, where power is a key cost, he said.

Jalapeño wasn't tested against the new generation of Nvidia chips, Vera Rubin, which just began shipping.

It's also not designed for training AI models, an area where Nvidia technology excels. Jalapeño is intended for the inference phase of AI — the stage when models have already been trained and can begin responding to prompts and handling

tasks.

Jalapeño's speed benefits mean OpenAI can achieve results previously only possible with chips that use a different type of memory and design. For example, OpenAI relies on Cerebras Systems Inc.'s technology for some of its models. But that kind of chip is best suited to smaller models, Ho said.

Jalapeño, in contrast, can handle larger ones, he said. Still, OpenAI's technology won't replace providers such as Cerebras anytime soon, Ho said.

“We have so much need for compute, which is why we signed up so many different providers,” he said. “That’s going to continue for a while.”

Ho said OpenAI wants to

Australia's social media ban for youths sees progress slip

By Newley Purnell be public about what it's done in order to help spur innovation in the AI chip space.

Eight months after implementing a ban on users under 16 accessing social media services such as TikTok, Australia finds its younger users are returning in droves, according to new data from Qustodio.

age users from accessing services such as Instagram and Facebook from Meta Platforms Inc. and TikTok, owned by China's ByteDance Ltd. Many argue the services are harmful to young users' mental health, and other countries are following Australia's example, including New Zealand announcing plans last week.

Some 26% of children between the ages of 13 and 15 were on TikTok as of last month, just 1 percentage point below the rate before Australia's groundbreaking rules coming into effect, the parental control software maker said. The rate for children between the ages of 10 and 12 is higher now than before the ban, according to the data.

Australia's government has been at the forefront of legislating to prevent under-

“What we’ve seen is an immediate drop to a degree, but slowly but surely the numbers have started to increase again to almost equivalent levels” for some services, said Yasmin London, a global online safety expert at Qustodio.

Other startups are working on similar ideas. Etched, which said recently that it raised funds at a \$21-billion valuation, is starting to ship a low-voltage chip. And a company called MatX, founded by two alumni of Google's silicon business, is working on a semiconductor that aims to achieve both high throughput and low latency.

Usage rates for Instagram and Snap Inc.'s Snapchat are lower than TikTok's but have also begun to creep up after falling initially when the ban came into effect in December, the data show. Children could be obfuscating their ages, using virtual private networks that disguise their locations, or simply not encountering effective age checks on platforms, London said.

OpenAI publicly tested its new chips using one of its smaller, open-source models, as well as third-party models from DeepSeek and Moonshot AI. Jalapeño delivered wider advantages on Moonshot's Kimi model, the largest one OpenAI tried.

"In the end, kids want access because they want to be connected just like the rest of us," London said.

The new data underscore concerns about the effectiveness of Australia's age controls and Big Tech's compliance with them. Regulators, tech firms and parents around the world are studying Australia's experience as more than two dozen governments have implemented or are seeking to implement similar measures.

Australia is being “closely watched” and has come to symbolize the issue of social media restrictions, said Minda Smiley, a senior analyst at Emarketer focused on social media. “Even as other countries follow suit, I think a lot of people are paying particular attention to Australia and hoping it can provide some sort of blueprint.”

The new figures, which Qustodio says may understate the issue as data are collected only from devices that have its parental over-

sight software installed, also emerge as social media giants face numerous lawsuits in the U.S. alleging they are harming their young users by making their platforms hard to resist.

TikTok, Snap and Meta didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

One service seeing an increase in usage is Meta's WhatsApp, which is not subject to the government's restrictions. Some 27% of children between 13 and 15 were on the messaging platform before the ban. That number now stands at 36%.

Australia's government in June said the social media companies weren't doing enough to comply with the age restriction, which man-

dates that the firms take reasonable steps to keep users under 16 off or face fines. It pledged to double the maximum penalty for violations to \$70 million and to give the country's online safety watchdog extra enforcement powers. No social media platform has been fined for breaching the ban so far.

Governments looking for clues as to whether Australia's rules are working will probably take the long view, Smiley said.

Purnell writes for Bloomberg.

"It's still early enough in the game that I think Australia will keep pressing," she said. "The ban has come at a time when social media is under more scrutiny than ever, so I'd say they have public sentiment on their side."

During internal tests, it also performed well running some of OpenAI's large, advanced models that have yet to be released. That suggests the chip's design "becomes more valuable as workloads grow larger and more demanding," the company said in a blog post.

OpenAI said it used its own AI models to develop the chip more quickly. A second version is already far along in the process. The company expects to tape out the chip — a final stage in design — in the “coming months,” Ho said.

OpenAI is already designing the concepts for the third generation, as the company looks to lower the costs of the vast amounts of AI infrastructure it's constructing across the globe.

“We’re at a cost level and a power level that will bring the infrastructure cost down,” Ho said. “This is step one.”

Even as OpenAI touts its own work and measures it against Nvidia, Ho took pains to note that it still regards that company as a key supplier of chips.

“Nvidia is a really good partner, and we continue to need a lot of Nvidia,” he said.

Google is touting its AI to Hollywood studios

MOUNTAIN VIEW-BASED Google once tussled with Hollywood over piracy.

[Google, from A1]

what's inevitable, which is Hollywood and AI are going to become reliant upon each other, and how best can we understand that without just terrifying people," said Tom Nunan, a former studio and network executive.

Representatives of Google, Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney declined to comment.

An NBCUniversal spokesperson said the company is not in active conversations with Google regarding licensing its intellectual property for use in AI models.

Google's outreach is a far cry from the more adversarial posture the company took a decade ago when it clashed with Hollywood over legislation intended to curb piracy. People uploaded clips on YouTube of different shows and movies without permission or payment to the studios.

Google said it was taking problematic content down, but studios believed it was not fast enough and the search engine colossus became a pariah in the industry.

Circumstances are substantially different today. Google already is doing business with many entertainment companies through its different divisions, whether selling its cloud computing services, improving AI tools through Google DeepMind or distributing content on YouTube, which is now a major force in the TV business.

In June, Google invested \$75 million into A24, the studio behind Academy Award-winning films such as “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Moonlight,” as part of a strategic partnership to collaborate on AI tools.

"They recognize that A24, while not the biggest studio, gives them a type of credibility they're not getting yet in Hollywood," said Rob Rosenberg, a partner at law firm Moses & Singer and former general counsel at Showtime Networks. "They're in this image rehabilitation, this path of trying to gain not just acceptance but appreciation for the fact that they're trying to take the high road. They're trying to spark a partnership between Hollywood and themselves as an AI platform."

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company also has a partnership with director Darren Aronofsky's venture Primordial Soup.

For Google, it's an opportunity to get feedback from talented creatives who can help it build better AI tools for the entertainment industry.

The A24 move also better positions Google to capture any business opportunities left behind by OpenAI, which shut down its text-to-video app Sora this year.

Disney announced a major licensing deal with OpenAI last year, allowing the tech startup to use AI-generated versions of Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse on Sora, but that deal fell apart. OpenAI decided to shut down Sora to focus resources on other businesses.

Some studios including Disney have sued AI companies over copyright infringement in cases that are ongoing. Disney also sent Google a cease-and-de-sist letter last year accusing the tech giant of using Disney's copyrighted material without its authorization to train Google's AI systems.

Studios find themselves in a tough spot dealing with AI that's similar to two decades ago when people would go to YouTube and upload unauthorized clips from popular shows and movies.

In 2007, Viacom sued Google for \$1 billion, alleging copyright infringement, but it wasn't until 2014 that the case was settled. By then, YouTube was widely adopted by consumers. Studios now use YouTube to market their programs, and Google's Content ID technology flags videos and gives copyright holders the ability to earn ad revenue on them.

“They are remembering and mindful of what happened years ago, where in the end Google and YouTube did what it wanted and it was really a pretty unregulated environment,”

said Jonathan Miller, chief executive of investment firm Integrated Media and a former News Corp. executive. "What Google did with YouTube is it let it run completely wild until it was too big to fail and everybody had to make a deal with it at some point."

Some of the discussion now centers on how studios could use Google's AI tools in production, while other topics involve the licensing of studio characters for AI-generated outputs.

The licensing of characters could provide another revenue stream for studios, and Google could share in any advertising revenue from AI-generated content on YouTube.

An AI company licensing character IP from a studio could pay \$40 million per character on average, with a deal for 100 characters in the multiple billions, said one person familiar with these deals who declined to be named.

YouTube also has approached talent agencies and studios about using its likeness detection technology to flag AI-generated content that would infringe copyrighted material or alter celebrity faces, with the possibility of figuring out a way to monetize the AI-generated content if rights holders or Hollywood talent decided to keep those videos up on YouTube, the sources said.

YouTube's global head of media and sports, Justin Connolly, a former Disney executive, is involved in those discussions, they said.

But some studios are wary about participating in such technology because of the terms that Google is requesting. For example, some companies were asked to waive their right to sue Google if they were to participate in the likeness detection technology, sources

said.

In Hollywood, AI has stirred deep fears among talent. Actors and writers say their work has been used to train AI models without their permission or compensation. Other Hollywood workers in areas such as visual effects worry that the technology will replace their jobs.

Studios have contracts in place with AI protections for writers, directors and actors and are mindful about the concerns. At the same time, studios do not want to be left behind from technology that could make processes faster and cheaper.

So far, no major studios have notified performers guild SAG-AFTRA of entering into any new licensing deals with an AI company, which they are required to do under their agreement with the union, said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the guild's national executive director and chief negotiator.

"The companies largely are moving carefully in this area," Crabtree-Ireland said. "They rightly recognize that there are a lot of potential pitfalls, not only relating to creative talent and their rights and performances or other types of creation. That is part of why we see deal-making in this area moving at a pace that allows for careful consideration of the implications."

Disney in July named AI companies to its accelerator program, including Promise and Open Art. In March, Netflix bought Ben Affleck's AI film tech startup Inter-Positive for \$587 million.

“We’ve moved from the moment where there was a question, ‘Will we use AI?’ and now it’s a question of ‘How are we going to use AI?’” Rosenberg said.

Latin America won't ditch China despite Trump's pressure

BY MIE DAHL AND COLUM MURPHY

As head of an association representing cities across Colombia, Andrés Santamaría Garrido has a front-row seat to observe China's economic playbook at the municipal level.

Sitting in his downtown Bogota office containing a model of the city's red metro train, a project being built by a Chinese-led consortium, Santamaría described Beijing's commercial diplomacy as aggressive, practical — and hard to ignore.

Chinese firms are cheaper, more persistent and easier to work with, he said. They're also willing to go around national governments to deal with governors, mayors, local business groups and municipal officials. The result, said the executive director of Asocapitales, is that they are increasingly leaving their U.S. counterparts behind.

"There will be a technological opening to China, because they are simply more advanced," Santamaría said, listing autonomous vehicles, robotics and drones as particular areas of Chinese expertise.

gets to the heart of a predicament for President Trump and his plans to extend U.S. control over the Western Hemisphere. Though the president can point to significant inroads in securing U.S. political influence through a string of aligned leaders from Argentina to Peru, his drive to establish American economic dominance is proving far harder to achieve.

This event is produced by LA Times Studios and does not involve the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Times.

One reason is that China's investment profile from ports to energy and mining, built over years across Latin America, remains too big and entrenched for the region's governments to simply cast off on a whim of the U.S. administration. At the same time, Beijing has managed to stay several steps ahead of Washington by moving up the value chain into fields such as electric vehicles, batteries and data centers.

It's why Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, a Trump ally who's all-in on the security partnership with the U.S., just wrapped up a weeklong visit to China, including a meeting with President Xi Jinping. Noboa won commitments to expand solar-power generation and support for Ecuador's response to the El Niño climate phenomenon via a Chinese AI-driven meteorological system.

It's an illustration of how, for all the U.S. political pressure, the economic dimension of Trump's so-called Donroe Doctrine remains unfulfilled.

Economic ties with Beijing have in general “not been affected” by Trump’s plans for hemispheric hegemony, said Mexico’s ambassador to China, Jesús Seade. “That all remains in the political sphere,” he said, while highlighting China’s influence in trade matters, technology, investment and innovation.

The push to curb Beijing's dominance over strategic assets always has been at the core of Trump's version of the Monroe Doctrine. In his inaugural second-term address, Trump claimed that China was operating the Panama Canal and asserted that the U.S. was “taking it back.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth followed up by saying that “Chinese influence cannot control our own backyard.”

The 33-page U.S. National Security Strategy released in November codified the doctrine in a section devoted to the Western Hemisphere, laying out the administration's goal to “restore American preeminence.”

Trump can point to some clear political successes for his agenda, including grabbing Nicolás Maduro out of Venezuela, isolating Cuba and shoring up President Javier Milei with a \$20-billion currency swap immediately before Argentina's midterms. In little more than a year, seven Latin American countries have held presidential elections with Trump-supporting candidates winning all of them, most recently in Colombia.

But beyond challenging a handful of flagship Chinese projects, including Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison's presence on the Panama Canal and the \$1.3-billion megaport of Chancay in Peru, U.S. efforts to curb China's economic expansion have had limited success.

“China’s economic weight makes it irreplaceable, regardless of the U.S.’s increasingly coercive posture,” said Cui Shoujun, deputy director at the Institute of International Development Studies at Renmin University, which has close ties to China’s Communist Party.

The recent wave of Trump-aligned leaders has generated pro-U.S. rhetoric, but “economic realities have consistently neutralized ideological shifts,” he said, contrasting Trump’s pressure tactics to China’s “mutually beneficial” approach to the region.

railed against U.S. intentions, China isn't retreating from Latin America in response. But that doesn't mean China is ignoring U.S. concerns.

Polling appears to bear that out.

The commercial shift toward China in recent years has been dramatic. Goods trade with Latin America has grown from about \$14 billion in 2000 to more than \$500 billion in 2024. China has overtaken the U.S. as South America's top trading partner, even as Washington remains dominant in Mexico, Central America and much of the Caribbean.

Though Beijing has

It's becoming more cautious, protective of existing assets and adaptive in how it pursues new opportunities, said Christian Reyes, a Beijing-based political risk analyst originally from Ecuador.

It's also moving away from headline-grabbing infrastructure projects to advancing through quieter deals in sectors Beijing has spent decades cultivating.

The Pitinga tin mine in the Brazilian Amazon, some 200 miles north of the state capital, Manaus, shows how China continues to tighten its grip on crucial minerals and rare earths by positioning itself in assets that are technical, remote and harder to turn into diplomatic fights.

When Peru's Minsur agreed to sell Mineracao Taboca in November 2024, Chinese state entity CNMC outbid rivals, paying about \$340 million for the company. Along with tin operations at Pitinga, the company gained potential access to a broader set of strategic minerals and rare-earth elements.

One Brazilian investor who evaluated Mineracao Taboca and asked not to be identified said the asset looked unattractive on conventional terms, describing it as a tin business close to break-even, with significant environmental liabilities, heavy spending needs and limited return prospects.

CNMC was willing to take the risk. In January, the miner deepened its bet on Pitinga with the announcement of a \$100-million plan to modernize operations and expand production.

By contrast, the Trump administration lacks a coherent economic engagement strategy for the region, said Margaret Myers, senior advisor to the Asia and Latin America Program at the Inter-American Dialogue.

“China’s influence in the region derives from a wide set of factors, especially trade,” she said. “Of course, leaders make political decisions with their top trade partner in mind.”

China's foothold is deep in electricity grids, distribution and generation assets in major South American markets. In Chile, Chinese companies control more than half of power transmission and distribution, while in Peru's capital, Lima, two Chinese state-owned firms now distribute electricity to the capital's 10 million residents.

Trump's protectionist turn has had an unintended effect in Brazil, bolstering China's appeal in Latin America's largest economy and one of two main regional holdouts — along with Mexico — against his pressure to fall in line.

Where China's advance often can be deliberately quiet, its push into consumer economies across the region is loud, colorful and increasingly hard to avoid.

In Brazil, BYD, which has a dealership in every state, capital and major city, has poured money into prime-time television, telenovelas and soccer sponsorships. Brazilians' phones are looking increasingly Chinese: Shein, AliExpress, Temu and TikTok Shop in online shopping, Didi's 99 in ride-hailing, and 99Food and Meituan's Keeta in food delivery.

China also charms its way in through gifts. In San Salvador, the capital of Nayib Bukele's El Salvador, a gleaming national library rises near the presidential palace, while cranes work on a 50,000-seat soccer stadium and crews prepare the ground for a convention center — all Chinese donations.

The U.S.-led Shield of the Americas coalition — whose members include Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana and Panama — is attractive to governments as a vehicle for deeper regional security cooperation with Washington. Yet all its members continue to depend on Chinese trade, financing or investment.

Trump is spending billions to reverse American progress

The Navy's improved launch system for aircraft carriers took decades. Why would we go back to the old way?

PRESIDENT TRUMP has ordered the Navy to develop a plan to replace the electromagnetic catapults used to launch air-

craft from future Ford-class aircraft carriers with legacy steam catapults. That might make sense if the newer technology had failed. It has not.

The USS Gerald R. Ford was the first U.S. carrier built to launch aircraft electromagnetically rather than with steam power. The Navy spent decades developing the technology, including years of testing a full-scale system ashore, before installing it on the Ford and making it standard for the carriers that would follow. The Navy made that change for a reason: electromagnetic launch was designed to handle everything from lightweight unmanned aircraft to heavy strike fighters, while requiring less maintenance and manpower than steam catapults.

Getting there was notoriously difficult. The electromagnetic system was expensive and suffered years of reliability problems. But the Navy worked through them. Today, the system has successfully launched tens of thousands of aircraft from the Ford, the first operational U.S. carrier equipped with it, and Navy testing indicates the ship can launch aircraft at a higher rate than the older carriers it replaced. The Navy endured years of cost and delay to make the technological transition — and succeeded.

Returning to steam catapults on the fourth Ford-class carrier will recover none of the time or money already spent. General Atomics, the company that builds the system, says nearly half of the electromagnetic launch equipment for that carrier has already been produced. Reversing course means walking away from some of that work, redesigning a ship already built around electromagnetic launch, rebuilding a steam-catapult supply chain the Ford class was meant to replace and piling new costs and delays onto a carrier already years behind schedule.

Americans paid once to move forward. Now we will pay again to move backward.

The Navy is not the only place where the federal government is spending money to reverse course. This year alone, the Trump administration has committed nearly \$4 billion to persuade energy companies to abandon offshore-wind projects they had already paid to pursue. In the latest deal, the government will return \$1.22 billion to the energy company RWE if it surrenders three offshore-wind leases and walks away from projects it had planned to develop.

The particulars are different from an aircraft carrier, but the financial logic is remarkably similar. Taxpayers are putting up billions of dollars to make prospective American wind energy production disappear. The government helped establish a path toward a newer technology. Public and private money followed. Now the government is spending additional money to reverse course.

THE USS Gerald R. Ford was the first U.S. carrier built to launch aircraft electromagnetically.
RIDGE LEONI U.S. Navy / Associated Press

Trump has described his preference for steam systems the Navy has already replaced as “common sense,” based in part on a conversation years ago with a sailor who told him steam was better. He speaks about wind power with the same certainty, declaring that it “doesn’t work.” The president’s personal intuition is a poor substitute for engineering evidence and economic analysis when he is spending billions of our dollars to turn those intuitions into policy.

Conservative stewardship of taxpayer funding means preserving successful investments, not spending billions more to undo them. That should be especially obvious for an administration that has made eliminating government waste one of its stated priorities.

The Navy's experience also illustrates why the government sometimes accepts the cost and risk of advancing technology. Steam catapults worked, but they were a mature technology with limits the Navy believed electromagnetic launch could overcome. Moving from that proven system to a newer one required enormous upfront investment before the promised advantages could be realized. The transition was difficult, expensive and at times badly managed. But it ultimately succeeded.

That is one reason the government invests in emerging technology in the first place. New technologies often have to get over a bow wave of research, infrastructure and startup costs before their advantages can be realized at scale. Public investment can help bridge that gap.

A new administration is entitled to decide that such support has gone too far. Subsidies can expire. Future tax incentives can change. Projects that fail can and should be abandoned. But once taxpayers have helped a technology clear that expensive hurdle and that technology has proved successful, reversing course means spending again to undo the transition they already financed. In the case of the Ford class, the administration has identified no operational improvement that would justify returning to steam.

The same principle applies, in different ways, to offshore wind, solar power and electric vehicles. Government support helped these technologies overcome enormous upfront costs and become viable at scale. They have moved well beyond proving that they can work; the legitimate debates now concern how quickly to expand them, how much public support they still require and which individual investments make economic sense.

China is already seeing the strategic value of those investments. Its massive buildout of renewable power, batteries and electric infrastructure has made it less vulnerable to the spike in oil prices caused by the Iran war. Successful long-term investments create resilience before crises arrive.

Ending future support for government-supported technologies can be a reasonable policy choice. Paying billions to reverse progress already achieved requires a clearly demonstrated benefit that justifies the added costs. The Trump administration has made no such case.

The United States needs more energy, a more capable military, modern infrastructure and the ability to compete technologically for decades to come. We have already paid billions to move forward. We should be investing in that progress, not buying our way back to where we started.

JULY HAD the highest monthly total of ICE arrests in Trump's second term.

Spike in arrests raises questions

Re “Arrests by ICE jump to nearly 50,000 in July,” Aug. 26

A LITTLE more than a year ago, President Trump's homeland security advisor, Stephen Miller, stated that he had a goal of 3,000 arrests by immigration agents per day. Now, the Los Angeles Times is reporting that almost 50,000 people were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in July, raising several questions in my mind.

What percentage of these arrests involved children? How many of those arrested have been deported as of today and to which countries? By state, where are those still in custody being held?

What is the monthly cost of housing an adult? Likewise, a child? What is the average length of stay in detention?

What percentage of detainees had prior criminal convictions? How many detainees have been released without further action? How many have appeared before an immigration judge while in custody?

The American public needs answers to these and other questions. Investigative journalists should be pursuing this information.

While pursuing his immigration crackdown, Trump promised that ICE would find and deport only “the worst of the worst.” Now we read stories of families torn apart when a law-abiding young resident or aging grandparent is hunted down in frightening detail.

Now, a Times headline informs us that ICE arrests jumped to nearly 50,000 in July.

If Trump believes arresting (and potentially deporting) 50,000 people each month is removing “the worst of the worst,” then he has a distorted picture of

My heart goes out to the six people who refused to get off the plane in Liberia, were apparently told they were being taken back to the U.S. and found themselves in Equatorial Guinea, where they would be sequestered in a hotel with poor conditions.

I am haunted by the thought of the man with a colostomy bag sent into that situation.

Re “Wife of Army sergeant deported,” Aug. 26

The plight of U.S. Army Sgt. Hedar Leonel Turcios Juarez is yet another sicken ing and beyond absurd story caused by Trump's rampage against migrants who have not perfected their legal status to remain in the country. Turcios Juarez, with his wife de- ported to Honduras, must now honor his military obligation while caring alone for their 6-year-old daughter.

In the country for 10 years with no criminal record, Cristy Maryori Villafranca-Trejo was apparently not notified of a removal hearing in 2017, and the couple only found out about her deportation order after marrying in 2022. Seeking available remedies and hoping to stay with her husband and daughter (both citizens), she was scooped up and sent back to Honduras.

The pain and suffering caused to a law-abiding family far outweighs any logical or justifiable necessity to kick out a mother and wife who was trying to perfect her residency in the supposed land of the free. It is beyond hope that the president would care the slightest about the undeserved destruction of lives his mass deportation policies are causing (mostly against minorities) today. But maybe others in the administration or Congress might take a step back and realize these actions are the antitheses of a free and decent America in which law-abiding residents and service members should be accommodated and thanked, not punished and treated like animals or violent criminals.

This isn't what voters approved

Re “Reelection bid faces challenge in court,” Aug. 27

The Los Angeles Times article regarding the City of Commerce's three-term limit raises an important question about the language voters OK'd when approving Measure SL in 2022.

Commerce placed the measure on the ballot to comply with state election law and extend the terms of sitting councilmembers, not to grant additional terms.

As reported by the Whittier Daily News, an impartial analysis published by the city attorney prior to the vote stated Measure SL would “retain the prohibition against any person serving more than three full terms.” A subsequent report from the city clerk, approved by the city attorney, even used Ivan Altamirano’s City Council service as an example, stating that the amendment would allow the recently reelected councilmember to serve “until the end of the full term until 2026.”

The voters should not have the meaning of their decision rewritten after the fact.

Acts of kindness are everywhere

Re “The good and bad that hold America together,” Opinion Voices, Aug. 21

Maybe America isn't falling apart. Maybe we're just looking at it from too far away.

That thought became apparent after reading LZ Granderson's account of traveling across the country. This summer, I spent 30 days pedaling from Seattle to Washington as part of the United States of Kindness, a movement encouraging Americans to do and document acts of kindness. I recognized the America Granderson encountered, including poverty, political divisions and places that feel forgotten. But my experience left me thinking less about what divides America and more about what holds it together.

In every interaction, we glimpsed the communities we passed through and the pockets of hope scattered across America.

Once we started looking for kindness, it seemed to be everywhere. Dinner with strangers. Invitations into people's homes. A passerby making sure we had enough water.

Individually, these moments won't fix America's problems. Together, they remind us what can.

'Magic bus' image offensive to Latinos

If the GOP wants to keep Congress in the midterms, it needs to beg for forgiveness.

If you want proof of the widening chasm between the Trump administration and Latinos, look no fur-

ther than California state Sen. Suzette Martinez Valladares and White House spokesperson Lauren Bis' reaction to the same anti-Latino image.

Posted on the White House's social media accounts last week, it's a take on the logo for the beloved 1990s PBS cartoon "The Magic School Bus."

Same cheery font, same yellow bus blasting through the cosmos, same depiction of wacky teacher Ms. Frizzle and her cute chameleon sidekick Liz. But instead of a bunch of happy kids off to another adventure, the passengers are five handcuffed, brown-skinned, mustachioed men looking downward and dejected, all identical save for the colors of their T-shirts.

Bracketing this soulless scene are the words “The Magic Deportation Bus” — get it? Har har! The White House released the illustration to accompany an Aug. 24 Fox News headline gushing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had arrested a “jaw-dropping number” of undocumented immigrants in the D.C. area over the last two weeks.

The post was the latest in a flood of racist, anti-immigrant images that the Trump administration has shared. But this one was so bad that it even offended Martinez Valladares, a Republican whose district stretches from the Grapevine to Victorville.

“Enforcing immigration law and securing the border isn’t anti-Latino. But this image wasn’t necessary or helpful,” she told me. “We can strongly support border security while expecting our government to communicate those policies without reducing a community to a stereotype.

Shasta County urges investigations of registrar who sequestered ballots

BY HAILEY BRANSON-POTTS

Days after the top elections official in Shasta County announced that he planned to hire an election denier who served prison time for tampering with voting machines, county leaders there made an extraordinary plea to state and federal authorities: Please come investigate.

A statement released by the county Tuesday afternoon said Clint Curtis, the registrar of voters, had made “frivolous” claims and “unproven statements” about the June primary election, which he administered and certified.

"The County condemns the conduct of the Clerk-Registrar of Voters and invites all relevant state and federal agencies to review the allegations he has made and to proactively investigate his official actions and practices as Shasta County's elections official," read the statement released by Stewart Buettell, the county's deputy chief executive.

Curtis — whose name was on the ballot, in a race he lost — has sequestered primary ballots in a room in the elections office in Redding, sealing the doors with locks, duct tape and red-lettered signs that read: "KEEP OUT PER ROV CLINT CURTIS."

Defense in Shakur trial: Do not trust my client

BY RICHARD WINTON

Michael Sanft, the attorney for the man on trial for allegedly orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur, finds himself in a position out of a “Law and Order” episode.

He must convince a jury to ignore incriminating statements his client made. With every word he speaks, Sanft argues that Duane Davis is a liar who cannot be trusted.

It started during opening arguments, when Sanft flashed the word “bulls—” on the screen for jurors, referring not to the prosecutors but to Davis himself. And it will continue as the Las Vegas trial comes to a close Monday.

Legal experts call it a novel tactic, but perhaps the best shot at getting the jurors to ignore numerous statements in police interviews and a documentary they heard in Davis' own words.

There is actually a term of art for this kind of defense challenge: puffing, or claiming a criminal case is based on the client's exaggerations.

"When your client submits to two police interviews and publishes a book making damaging admissions, he is either a liar or guilty; pick your poison," said Glen Jonas, a defense attorney for high-profile clients. "It is about establishing reasonable doubt with what you have to work with within the confines of the truth."

“Puffing” can be an effective tool when the prosecution’s case relies heavily on the defendant’s words rather than clear physical evidence or scientific evidence, Jonas said.

"It is very unusual for a defense attorney to argue that their client is a liar," said Lou Shapiro, a Los Angeles defense attorney. "But sometimes the facts and circumstances call for it."

Davis has been the star witness for Nevada prosecutors, who devoted large portions of their case to simply recounting things the murder suspect has said about the 1996 killing of the rap star during a drive-by shooting just off the Las Vegas Strip.

Davis has spoken extensively about his role in the case, including in interviews with Los Angeles police and the media, in a 2019 tell-all book and during several bragging interviews done to promote the publication.

In his memoir “Compton Street Legend,” Davis said he and his crew were in Vegas with plans to watch Mike Tyson fight Bruce Seldon.

\$10 tickets for low-income fans at Hollywood Bowl

THE L.A. Phil will offer \$10 tickets to Medi-Cal or EBT cardholders. Above, at the venue last month.
ARIANA DREHSLER For The Times

By Deborah Vankin

Imagine a Saturday night “spectacular,” under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic performing as fireworks explode in the night sky — for \$10?

Not a pipe dream.

The L.A. Phil has taken a major step in expanding its accessibility. It announced last week that it will offer Los Angeles County residents with active Medi-Cal or EBT cards \$10 tickets to L.A. Phil performances at the Hollywood Bowl starting with the 2027 season.

It will offer at least 100 of these tickets at each of the orchestra's Hollywood Bowl concerts. Tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The L.A. Phil didn't say how eligible residents could secure such tickets. It plans to announce that process in spring before the season starts.

L.A. Phil Vice President of Community & Government Engagement Cynthia Fuentes said in an interview that the organization has been “prioritizing accessibility for a very long time.”

"When you create accessibility programs, they have to be very intentional," Fuentes said. “Folks are really struggling to make ends meet right now, and for us, it’s so important not only that we create great music on our stages, but that people can afford to see it. Your income levels shouldn’t dictate whether you have access to the arts or not.”

The \$10 ticket announcement is the latest move toward making L.A. Phil events more accessible at a time when tickets to see the orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl are, on average, about \$48, Fuentes said.

The L.A. Phil has been offering discounted tickets since the 1970s. It now offers more than 50,000 Hollywood Bowl tickets for \$1 annually

— some seats are open to the general public and others are given out by the L.A. Phil, in partnership with the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and L.A. County Department of Parks and Recreation, to low-income students, senior centers and others in need.

Last year, the L.A. Phil raised its number of \$1 tickets to 55,000 from 36,000. It also offers tens of thousands of free tickets to nonprofit organizations through the Community Concert Connections program.

The L.A. Phil debuted its new accessibility program at the Ford during the venue's 2026 season. The program is still active at the Ford.

“That was our pilot program for the L.A. Phil, with the intention of implementing it at the Hollywood Bowl,” Fuentes said. “When we started looking into EBT cardholder tickets, [we realized] it happens in a lot of museums but not a lot at performance arts organizations. Partly because it’s a ticketed structure with assigned seats and it’s a more controlled environment. We wanted to build the infrastructure of how you execute it on the back end. The Ford was an incredible way to start the process — do it on a smaller scale, look at what works and then be able to scale up to the Bowl.”

The L.A. Phil is in a period of transition. Daniel Harding will step in as the L.A. Phil's new music director, replacing Gustavo Dudamel, starting with the 2027-28 season. He'll oversee orchestral programming at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. Newly appointed creative director Esa-Pekka Salonen begins his tenure at the start of the 2026-27 concert season in early October. He'll conduct and curate subscription concerts and multidisciplinary projects. Anna Handler will serve as conductor in residence for the next three years, starting with the 2026-27 season.

“But Gustavo will be back every summer to do a suite of concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and also in December of this year at Walt Disney Concert Hall,” Fuentes said. “He’ll continue to have a presence with the L.A. Phil.”

Operating the Hollywood Bowl is a partnership between the L.A. Phil and the county Department of Parks and Recreation.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose district includes the Hollywood Bowl, said in a statement that the L.A. Phil has been “a trailblazer in the arts” for more than a century. Its new accessibility initiative, she said, is “that same spirit of innovation and partnership.”

"The Hollywood Bowl is one of Los Angeles County's most cherished public assets," Barger said, "and every resident should have the opportunity to experience the joy, inspiration, and sense of community that it offers."

Several other L.A.-area cultural institutions offer EBT recipients free or deeply discounted admission.

“But there’s no other L.A. County facility for performing arts that we found in our research that had an EBT program,” Fuentes said. “Part of our goal is to take our findings to the field to share so that other performing arts nonprofits follow, especially L.A. County-based [ones], so we can ensure we’re creating accessibility for everyone in the county.”

Fuentes pointed to her own upbringing to illustrate the importance of accessibility programs in the arts.

“I grew up in South Central with working-class parents that had three kids,” she said. “When you don’t have disposable income, you don’t have opportunities [to see arts performances]. Everyone should have the opportunity to go to a show and share a communal experience around music without the fear of not having enough to make your rent or mortgage.”

Defense in Shakur trial: Ignore my client

[Shakur, from B1] the MGM Grand.

Davis said he and his crew set out in search of Knight and Shakur. Davis wrote in the book that he tossed the gun he'd been given into the back seat of the white Cadillac in which Anderson and Deandrae "Dre" Smith sat.

They spotted the Death Row caravan stopped at a red light, with Shakur waving to fans while hanging out of the BMW window.

"Tupac made an erratic move and began to reach down beneath the seat ... and that's when the fireworks started. One of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started bustin' back," Davis wrote.

Jurors heard more than eight hours of interviews, including a 2008 LAPD federal task force recording.

In them, Davis bragged about being in the Cadillac and said that, because he was on the far side as the front passenger, he handed the .40-caliber Glock to Anderson and Smith in the back seat as Terrence “Bubble Up” Brown drove.

“So, Orlando shot him across Dre?” an LAPD detective asked Davis.

“He leaned over on the window; he rolled down the window, popped,” Davis answered, saying he looked

Knight in the eye as Shakur scrambled into the back seat.

The motive, he said, was revenge for the beatdown on his nephew at MGM. He isn't believed to be the trigger man, but under Nevada law, helping to commit a murder is enough, prosecutors say.

"I've never seen a case where the prosecution wants to build up the defendant while the defense is trying to tear him down," said Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor. "The prosecution is arguing that Davis was the shot caller and mastermind of a criminal enterprise. The defense is arguing that Davis was a lying BSer who is 'full of crap.'"

The prosecution rested its case after 25 witnesses and several days of playing recordings. The defense called three witnesses, focusing on two main strategies.

One is to argue Davis was bragging to make himself seem important and cannot be believed. Davis has been speaking about the killing for nearly two decades.

He broke his silence in 2008, when an LAPD federal task force investigating the 1997 murder in L.A. of Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, questioned him, informing him they had him selling enough PCP to put him away for life along with some of his relatives. They let him do a proffer as a means to a lighter sentence as they pursued a racketeering case against the rap enterprises.

On Thursday, Sanft got a retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer to testify that he interviewed Davis in 2009 after the LAPD arranged a meeting, and prosecutors opted not to charge him.

It was only in 2023 that Las Vegas prosecutors filed murder charges against him.

The second defense strategy is to question what other evidence the prosecution actually has besides Davis' words.

Sanft called a retired Las Vegas Metro homicide detective to acknowledge there was no DNA, no forensics or eyewitness accounts, and he never got anyone else to say Davis was in the Cadillac besides Davis himself.

In Nevada, jurors can ask questions, and so the defense closed on it.

"Were you able to verify and confirm Mr. Davis was actually in the white Cadillac the night of Tupac's murder?" a juror asked.

Retired Det. Dan Long replied, "By Mr. Davis telling me that he was in the white Cadillac on the night of the murder and that the shooting came from that same white Cadillac."

The judge asked if Sanft had a follow-up question, and he asked, "Are there no actual facts outside what Mr. Davis told you?"

“No,” the detective replied.

Rahmani said this line of inquiry could bear fruit with the jury. He noted the prosecution hasn't been able to corroborate Davis' confessions with independent evidence — and the lone survivor in the two cars, then-Death Row records boss Knight, who was driving the BMW and seated next to Shakur, isn't testifying.

"It is tough to prosecute a 30-year-old cold case based almost entirely on the defendant's confession," he said.

In the end, it might come down to how much the jury believes Davis before he became a murder defendant.

“Normally a defense lawyer does not want to tell a jury that his own client is a liar and destroy the client's credibility. But in the Duane Davis case,” that might be the best strategy,” said Dmitry Gorin, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor.

If jurors are not willing to convict on Davis' words alone, then the physical evidence — or lack of it — will be key. "It needs one juror to vote not guilty to have a hungjury."

Trump's racist post is a bad sign for GOP

[Arellano, from B1] a caricature."

Martinez Valladares isn't any random Trump supporter. She's co-chair of the California Hispanic Caucus, which represents the state's GOP Latino legislators and was founded after a record number of them — nine — were elected in 2024. The group's creation reflected the tsunami of Latino support for Trump that helped sweep him into the Oval Office for a second round and upended political thinking about America's largest minority.

Such a critique from a politician of Martinez Valladares' stature should set off fire alarms in the Oval Office as the midterms loom and the GOP needs Trump's Latino supporters to hold the party line, right? None!

When I asked the White House whether the “Magic Deportation Bus” was anti-Latino, spokesperson Bis whined in a statement that my query was “more race baiting by the media who are just mad the White House’s social media content is driving conversations with the American people about deporting illegal aliens. Is the L.A. Times really suggesting there has never been a deportation flight of just Guatemalans?”

Who's doing the race baiting?

Nothing in the gross graphic suggests that Guatemala is the final destination for Migra Ms. Frizzle and her detainees. The men's appearance is the only indication that they're Latino — just the type of racial profiling that Trump's immigration goons swear they don't engage in, despite ample video and audio evidence to the contrary. Although Latinos have long made up the majority of deportees, to portray the bus passengers as interchangeable clones who "look" Latino is as dehumanizing as you can get — but that's par for MAGA.

Not only that, but the Fox News story that went with the icky illustration said that ICE's D.C. operation nabbed Jamaicans, Hondurans and Salvadorans, in addition to Guatemalans.

Trump and his minions famously never apologize, doubling down on their pendejadas when confronted with facts. Well, if Republicans want any chance of holding on to Congress in the midterms and winning other key races, they need to beg Latinos for forgiveness, now that Trump has upended the lives of brown-skinned people, immigrants and U.S.-born alike.

Nearly half of Latinos voted for Trump two years ago, the best result ever for a Republican presidential candidate. Poll after poll released this year, each more dire for Trump than the last, show that those days are as distant a memory as affordable groceries. His approval ratings — and GOP hopes for the midterms — will continue to wither until he spends more time fixing the stagnant economy, ending the quag-mire in Iran and stopping the deportation deluge.

To maintain his grip on power, Trump needs to inspire Latinos to stand by him, vote for his agenda and urge others to follow along. Instead, he faces frustrated supporters such as David Hernandez, founder and chair of the Los Angeles County Hispanic Republican Club and host of the club's weekly talk radio show.

Hernandez said he's seen the perils of “unchecked” immigration at overcrowded hospitals and clinics. He also feels that in the race for California governor, Republican Steve Hilton's attacks on Democrat Xavier Becerra's alleged mishandling of migrant children while Health and Human Services secretary for the Biden administration will stay on the “front burner.”

The “Magic Deportation Bus” does nothing to highlight these issues, Hernandez said, describing it as “an immature cartoon failing to make any valid point.” Worse, the Navy veteran argues, it suggests that immigration agents plan to snatch children from schools.

"There is nothing funny about the issue," Hernandez added, "that warrants this type of frivolous portrayal."

Iran Hernandez's and Martinez Valladares' thoughts by Bis, noting their GOP bona fides without identifying them by name.

"Take a ride on The Magic School Bus to your home country!" the White House spokesperson began. Only her heart knows whether the line was a call-back to the offending social media post or a not-nice suggestion that I self-deport to wherever the hell she thinks I was born (I'm a native Anaheim, by the way).

Bis went on to repeat her previous line that the Trump administration is just seeking to “innovate” conversations with Americans and that “our efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens are no exception to this.”

Way to listen to the concerns of the front-line soldiers your boss so desperately needs this November, Lauren!

Spending more time crafting weak-salsa anti-Latino jokes than improving the lives of Latinos — that's the racist swamp the president and his team happily fester in.

But there's one thing their putrid parody of "The Magic School Bus" got right. Ms. Frizzle often shrank her steel steed and its occupants to microscopic sizes so they could explore places they'd never seen. That sure sounds like the historic collapse that Trump is experiencing with Latinos, no?

To use Ms. Frizzle's catchphrase: Bus, do your stuff.

Stubborn wildfires persist near Big Sur

CREWS clear brush in Big Sur. The Plaskett and Timber fires together have burned more than 33,000 acres.

By Hayley Smith

Crews on Sunday continued to battle two wildfires in Monterey County near Big Sur that have collectively burned more than 33,000 acres and forced more than 600 people to evacuate.

The Plaskett fire near Fort Hunter Liggett has spread down to Highway 1 and remains “pretty active” on all sides, according to Lee Beyer, a U.S. Forest Service spokesperson. That includes the southern perimeter near Los Burros Road where it was threatening homes and structures.

The fire was 8,241 acres as of Sunday afternoon — up from about 6,000 acres Saturday — with only 1% contained.

More than 600 firefighters were tackling the blaze from the air and ground, working in “incredibly steep and difficult terrain,” Beyer said. Portions of the area have not burned since the 1970s, “so it’s about a 55-year-old fuel bed, and that’s much more difficult to contain because it’s a lot heavier, a lot thicker, a lot more dead components to the fuel.”

Road closures were in effect on Highway 1 between Little Sur River and Salmon Creek, as were areas of Los Padres National Forest near the fire.

It's one of two stubborn blazes burning in Monterey County.

The Timber fire, which ignited Aug. 8 about 30 miles north of the Plaskett fire, was 21% contained as of Sunday afternoon. Crews were not able to fly over the fire for several days due to smoke and visibility concerns, but were able to map it Saturday at 24,839 acres, Beyer said.

The fire remains active in all directions — primarily within the Ventana Wilderness, which is also remote and rugged terrain.

“In the earliest days of the Timber fire, it became clear that this was a fire that was going to be measured in weeks, not days,” Monterey County Supervisor Kate Daniels said during a community meeting Saturday afternoon. “And now it’s looking like potentially could even be months.”

Weather over both fires remains dry, with humidity measuring only 16% to 19%, according to Roger Gass, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Bay Area.

Areas below 2,000 feet are expected to benefit from more moisture and humidity as the marine layer deepens into next week, but “above the marine influences, it’ll still be quite warm and dry,” he said.

Crews may benefit from slightly cooler temperatures in the days ahead, Gass said, and wind conditions are expected to remain fairly calm in both areas.

For now, mandatory evacuation orders and warnings remain in effect for both fires. Evacuation shelters have been opened at the Carmel Mission Inn and the Cambria Veterans Memorial Building.

Beyer said he was not aware of any structures that have been destroyed by either blaze so far, save for a small outbuilding that burned in the Timber fire several days ago.

About 2,192 firefighters have been assigned to the Timber fire and 661 to the Plaskett fire, with more expected to arrive in the coming days.

But resources have been stretched thin this season as crews have responded to several wildfires, including devastating fires in Spokane, Wash., that burned nearly 10,000 acres and destroyed roughly 900 structures.

The National Wildfire Preparedness Level in the United States is at Level 5, the highest level, reflecting severe wildfire activity and strained resources.

"We've been very busy pretty much all summer," Beyer said.

The cause of both Monterey County fires remains under investigation.

Parton's former Solvang retreat is for sale for nearly \$2 million

By SUHAUNA HUSSAIN

Dolly Parton, the country music icon who died at age 80 last week, used to spend some of her weekends in Solvang, Calif.

Parton owned a 1920s farmhouse in the little Danish enclave about 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles from 2004 to 2014.

The three-unit property at 561 Alisal Road in downtown Solvang is listed for \$1.995 million.

A sign at the front of the property labels the property as her former home. Fans have left bouquets of flowers, according to photos of the property posted to real estate websites.

The property is a threebedroom, two-bathroom single-family home in the downtown area of the city, with two separate accessory units. The accessory units are a three-bedroom and two-bath apartment and a smaller one-bedroom apartment. The compound is about 2,500 square feet in total.

The house pays tribute to its former owner with a stained-glass panel that reads “Dolly” and features a yellow butterfly above the door.

The current owner, Cris Lapp, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the windows in the main building are reflective from the outside, providing an extra layer of privacy. He told the Chronicle that he didn't originally know about Par- ton's history there. After he found out, he began working to restore parts of the pro- perty.

The town, founded in 1911 by Danish immigrants, is picturesque, with pastry shops and windmills.

The city of Solvang said in a statement on social media that Parton had “quietly maintained” a home there for many years, making the community “a small part of her remarkable life.”

“We are honored that she chose Solvang to spend time away from the spotlight. Her extraordinary legacy of music, kindness, and generosity will be felt for generations,” the city said in its statement.

She also frequented coastal California businesses, including the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, which honored Parton in a recent Instagram post, writing that the gold booth she used to sit in would now be known as "Dolly's Booth."

Google Maps
DOLLY PARTON spent some of her weekends at the farmhouse, which she owned from 2004 to 2014.

"Dolly was a cherished friend of the Madonna Inn," the hotel said in the post. "Her visits throughout the years created memories we will always hold close."

BOILING POINT

A debate over fate of eagle Jackie's remains

BY LILA SEIDMAN

When celebrity bald eagle Jackie died this month, Sandra Sehl didn't know what would happen to her remains.

Like many, Sehl, 53, was a devoted fan of the raptor and her mate, Shadow, who were made world-famous by a nonstop livestream of their nest. The Connecticut resident began watching about seven years ago, and the duo helped deliver her through difficult times, including the death of her mother — a past president of the Hartford Audubon Society who imparted a love of bird-watching to her daughter.

Sehl learned that Jackie would be sent to the National Eagle Repository — as are virtually all recovered carcasses of bald and golden eagles in the country. In the early 1970s, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established the facility to provide members of federally recognized Native American tribes with eagle feathers, parts and whole bodies for religious use.

It's not what Sehl wants for Jackie — and she's not alone. News of Jackie's fate has divided her millions-strong fan base. Some, like Sehl, want Jackie to go back to her natal digs in Big Bear. Yet many others, including the nonprofit that runs the livestream, believe her rightful place is in tribal hands.

Sehl launched a Change-.org petition asking officials to pause their plans and determine whether Jackie could be returned “through an appropriate educational, scientific, conservation or memorial arrangement.” It has more than 2,600 signatures, and similar petitions are floating around online.

In an interview, Sehl said she envisioned Jackie being taxidermied alongside a mock nest, allowing people to “see her and know her story.”

“I just want to give her a chance to go back home,” she said. “I think that’s where she would want to go.”

Sherri Griffin, another Jackie fan, called out those asking for special treatment for the Big Bear raptor in a Facebook post. It has more than 14,000 likes.

"[W]hen petitions started asking for Jackie to be exempted — because she was famous, because we all loved her — a few of us pointed out that this is, functionally, asking a hard-won Indigenous legal right to bend for public sentiment ... or essentially structural racism," she wrote.

Describing the origins of the repository, Jack E. Davis, in his 2022 book “The Bald Eagle,” explains that the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 — passed following widespread slaughter of the birds in the 19th century — criminalized many Native American traditions. (The act was expanded to include golden eagles in 1962.)

“Although the Bald Eagle Protection Act enabled the winged monarch to resettle eagledoms and establish new ones, the law failed to protect traditional Native relationships with the bird,” he writes. For instance, young Lenape men no longer could scale mountains to secure an eagle’s tail feather. Davis describes the repository as “a place of understanding and resolution, a tangible commitment on the part of the United States to tribal spiritual beliefs and practice.”

While most eagles go to the repository, there are rare exceptions. Pete Bloom, a raptor biologist, successfully made the case to study lead levels in the bones of a deceased golden eagle in its 20s because of its advanced age.

"I'm basically good with the way the repository works, but I think it should be a little more open to specific cases," such as certain scientific research, he said. However, he said making an exception for Jackie could open up a can of worms. (For the record, Bloom avoids referring to the famed eagle by name and opposes naming wild birds.)

Other eagles star in livestreams, and he expects their fans would make similar requests.

“They’re going to try to have it mounted and saved in their local library or whatever,” he said. “I’m not terribly wedded to the idea that none of them could go to those facilities, but the problem is you now have an additional management issue — with not only designating who gets one and who doesn't but then making sure it stays there."

The Fish and Wildlife Service did not respond to questions about the repository.

The controversy over Jackie's final resting place is striking because in life, the raptor was a unifying force. She attracted viewers across the political and age spectrum — a feat in these divisive times.

Yet since she was rescued in bad shape in mid-July and transferred to the Ojai Raptor Center for treatment, schisms have formed. Some turned on her caretakers, demanding more updates and accusing them of withholding information. Since Jackie's death, a young, likely female eagle (whom Bloom helped band) has spent time with Shadow, sparking further controversy among fans.

As someone who covered Jackie and Shadow closely for a year, I've spent time thinking not just about the eagles but also those who love them. About the mythos surrounding them and those who helped create it.

I wonder if this is the double-edged sword of anthropomorphizing a wild animal. On one hand, the devotion can spur real action. Recently, Friends of Big Bear

Valley — the nonprofit behind the livestream — successfully raised more than \$10 million to buy and conserve land near the eagle's nest.

On the other hand, it might create a false sense of ownership or closeness to the eagles. "It's a good reason for not naming animals," Bloom said of the infighting. "People get too involved."

Jenny Voisard, spokesperson for Friends of Big Bear Valley, rejected the idea that worldbuilding around the eagles is to blame, noting their storytelling is grounded in science. Instead, she pointed to an algorithm that amplifies outrage and people's own issues. She summed it up: "Virality is difficult."

“In no way does this compare to the sheer volume of positive understanding and healing that goes on,” she added. “This just seems like a sideshow distraction.”

The nonprofit hopes that Jackie's remains will go to Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, a tribe that was forced out of Big Bear Valley. But Voisard acknowledged it's not up to them.

Several groups, including Friends of Big Bear Valley, will be holding a memorial in the mountain community on Oct. 3.

Family of man slain by officer to receive millions

BY LIBOR JANY

The city of Los Angeles has agreed to pay \$5.8 million to the family of a man who was holding a plastic fork and experiencing a mental health crisis when he was fatally shot by a rookie LAPD officer, attorneys for the family said.

The settlement announced Thursday brings to a close a two-year legal tussle between the family of Jason Maccani and the city's lawyers over his 2024 death. Most larger civil payouts require final approval from the City Council.

The incident drew widespread condemnation from activists, city officials and then-Police Chief Michel Moore, who said he had “concerns” about the officers’ actions.

Maccani, 36, was shot after he approached officers who were responding to an "assault with a deadly weapon" call at a Skid Row warehouse, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and the family's lawsuit. After officers hit Maccani with a 40-millimeter projectile, body-worn camera and surveillance footage showed him move toward the six officers and one supervisor while holding the plastic utensil in his hand.

A struggle ensued and one of the officers pinned Maccani against a wall. Officer Caleb Garcia-Alamilla fired one round at point-blank range that struck Maccani in his right arm and traveled into his chest, police said.

Before striking Maccani, the bullet also grazed the hand of the supervisor, Sgt. Jeffrey Punzalan, according to police.

Maccani was suffering from an apparent bipolar episode, his family said; an autopsy revealed that he didn't have any drugs in his system when he died.

Maccani's mother said that although she is grateful that the court case is behind her, no amount of money could bring her son back.

"I'm really disappointed in the way our system works. There is no justice, because there's no accountability," Janet Maccani said. "And the settlement we received is not life-changing, but what they've done to us is definitely life-changing."

Maccani, she said, had been a star prep football player and a college graduate — not a transient as he had been depicted in some early police accounts and news reports.

"I was really disturbed in the way they portrayed Jason in the beginning. They were saying he was some homeless drug addict, blah, blah, blah," she said. "And it doesn't even matter if he was homeless, which he wasn't, because all lives matter."

An attorney for the family noted that Garcia-Alamilla, the officer who fired the fatal shot, is no longer with the department.

The city attorney's office, which represents police officers in civil matters, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Garcia-Alamilla had had less than a year on the job at the time of the shooting. He said afterward that he mistook the plastic fork for a weapon.

After reviewing the evidence, an internal review board was divided on whether Garcia-Alamilla was justified in using deadly force. Ultimately, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell ruled that the officer's decision to shoot was against department policy.

State fights Trump's meddling in mail voting

[Skelton, from B1] mail-ballot cheating.

AN ELECTION worker moves mail-in ballots to be sorted and put through signature-verification machines on May 28 in City of Industry.
GARY CORONADO For The Times

It's also hypocritical because Trump routinely votes by mail himself in Florida elections.

Why is mail-voting OK for him but not for other Americans? “Because I’m president of the United States,” he told reporters. “I had a lot of different things” to do. As if the rest of us don’t. Voting apparently only needs to be convenient for him.

But Trump obsessively keeps trying to justify his false claim that Joe Biden's 2020 election victory over him was rigged. It's sick.

It may please his MAGA base, but Democrats and independents across America — especially in California — frown on Trump's attack against their voting rights. They favor mail voting.

Overall, 58% of Americans support allowing ballots to be cast by mail, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center. But there's a huge difference between the parties — 83% of Democrats and left-leaning independents favor mail voting while 68% of Republicans oppose it.

In California, 72% of all voters approve of balloting by mail, according to a recent poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies. But there's a big split ideologically: 93% of Democrats and 72% of independents approve, but 62% of Republicans disapprove.

Regardless of what GOP voters tell pollsters, they must be overwhelmingly voting by mail. That's because 81% of all California ballots were cast by mail in the 2024 presidential election. In this year's gubernatorial primary, it was up to 89%.

In March, Trump issued an executive order directing the Homeland Security Department to compile a list of eligible citizen voters in each state and commanding the U.S. Postal Service to handle only the ballots of people on the list.

Gosh? What could possibly go wrong with Trump's

Homeland Security agency — the overseer of divisive ICE — deciding who is entitled to vote in the pivotal midterm elections?

California, along with a coalition of several blue states, sued.

The nation's founders decreed in the Constitution that states could decide on "the times, places and manner" of federal elections — unless Congress wanted to alter the rules. Trump persuaded the House of Representatives to pass legislation restricting mail voting, but the bill died in the Senate, blocked by Democrats.

Trump's executive order was an effort to bypass Congress and essentially enact a law by himself.

The Supreme Court decreed on a 6-3 vote last week that Trump could proceed with his planning. But since no precise regulations had yet been announced by the administration when the opposition lawsuit was filed, it was premature to rule on their constitutionality.

But now Trump's draconian rules have been revealed. And California has joined other states in filing a new lawsuit.

“Donald Trump does not run elections. States do,” Gov. Gavin Newsom declared. “California will continue to lead the way in defending democracy.”

In the Legislature, a bill was introduced to make it a felony punishable by up to four years in prison for a

person in authority to order the withholding of a ballot's delivery to a voter or its return to a local election official.

A person like a post-master? Who else could order mail carriers not to deliver ballots to some registered voters?

“That’s for law enforcement to decide,” says the bill’s author, Sen. Aisha Wahab (D-Hayward), who was just elected to finish the current term of resigned U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell.

"My bill is trying to protect all voters. They may be on vacation, they may be ill. They may want to vote early or late. Whatever. They remain entitled to vote by mail."

Her bill breezed through three Assembly committees in 24 hours — Democrats voting yes and Republicans no.

The measure is unlikely, however, to ever result in a postmaster being jailed for obeying the president.

For starters, it's hard to envision the president's executive order ever being ruled constitutional — even by this lackey court.

“Trump is trying to exercise control over elections when he has absolutely no authority to do so,” UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky wrote in a Times opinion piece last week.

If the Supreme Court shockingly did rule that Trump has the authority, then could his postmasters be arrested under the new state law? Under the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, the answer would seem to be “no.” Federal law generally supersedes conflicting state law.

“An executive order cannot supersede state law,” says UCLA law professor Rick Hasen, who specializes in election law. “But there are all kinds of immunity doctrines and other reasons why a state would have a hard time prosecuting a federal official for violating state law in the conduct of official duties.”

The real answer is for Trump to stop trying to concoct a solution to an election problem that only exists in his warped imagination.

Raman is eyed for DSA endorsement in mayoral race

COUNCILMEMBER Nithya Raman, right, and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass at a debate Aug. 19 in Sherman Oaks.

[Raman, from B1] the Nov. 3 runoff were held behind closed doors, followed by an online vote now underway. But the debate has been playing out publicly on a somewhat obscure platform: Geese magazine, which bills itself as “a daily review of American Communism.”

Contributors to that online publication — which declares on its website “We answer to no one” — have been going back and forth for weeks over whether the DSA should endorse Raman, a DSA member herself, in her campaign to unseat Mayor Karen Bass.

Things got rolling on Aug. 11, when Geese posted a 4,400-word essay supporting a DSA endorsement of Raman, arguing that such a move could “open the floodgates for socialism in Los Angeles.”

The four writers, DSALA members themselves, conceded that Raman is “no Zohran” — a reference to New York City’s charismatic DSA mayor, Zohran Mamdami. They acknowledged that she’s had a sometimes turbulent relationship with the group, which endorsed her council campaigns in 2020 and 2024 but also censured her at one point, in part because she accepted an endorsement from a pro-Israel group.

Still, the essayists praised her work on homelessness and tenant protections. And they commended her for seeking greater cooperation with the organization in recent months, hiring DSA-LA members to lead her campaign.

“What this signals is that with a DSA-LA endorsement, we may anticipate more constructive collaboration with the Nithya campaign going forward,” the group wrote.

Not so fast, argued another group of Geese contributors. On Aug. 24, those five writers — also DSA-LA members — panned the idea of an endorsement, saying Raman hasn't earned it.

These writers assailed Raman for voting to confirm former Sheriff Jim McDonnell as Los Angeles police chief and for seeking a re-write of Measure ULA, the so-called mansion tax, which she views as an impediment to housing production. The authors also portrayed her as woefully out of touch with the DSA on Israel's war in Gaza.

"If we endorse Raman, a candidate who lacks the inspirational leadership and collaborative political relationship that forms the foundation of a strong DSA endorsement, we risk spending the next four years managing the consequences; explaining, defending, and organizing around the shortcomings of a mayor who was never meaningfully accountable to our democratic socialist movement in the first place," the group wrote.

Two days later, a third Geese essay showed up, arguing that Raman is “the nerd that can dig our city out of this crisis.” That piece sought to rebut some of the criticism contained in the previous essay, while conceding that Raman can be “overly fixated on details, slightly thin-skinned, ob-tuse, and argumentative."

“But let’s not forget that Nithya also has a long list of positive attributes as well: she is an exceptional administrator — reducing homelessness in her district by 49% through careful service provision,” the group wrote.

A fourth piece, also pro-Raman, posted Friday. Meanwhile, Bass has not emerged unscathed during the back-and-forth.

Geese's contributors criticized Bass for refusing to let City Controller Kenneth Mejia audit her Inside Safe homelessness program, saying she showed a "disregard for democratic processes." They assailed her over her handling of the Palisades fire, the Lineage fire, police spending and other issues.

The pro-Raman rebuttal piece had some of the harshest language, accusing Bass of being “puppeted by business interests, landlords, the more reactionary segment of labor, and a smattering of liberal NGOs.”

Bass has not sought the DSA's backing, either in the primary or the runoff. But she does have endorsements from the council's other three DSA members.

Raman needs to win 60% of the vote to secure the endorsement. More than 6,000 chapter members have received emails with online ballots. Tuesday is the last day to vote.

Tracking Traci Park

City Councilmember Traci Park represents a Westside district that runs along the coast. But that didn't stop her from heading to Sherman Oaks for the raucous Aug. 19 mayoral debate.

Her appearance in the audience immediately sparked questions. Was she trying to make a decision on whether to weigh in on the mayor's race?

After all, Park is the only council member who has not publicly picked a horse. Thirteen of the council's 15 members have come out for Bass. (Raman also endorsed Bass at one point, but then jumped into the race at the

last minute.)

Park has made clear she is no political ally of Raman, diverging on such issues as the city's anti-encampment law. Still, an endorsement of Bass could pose risks.

Park represents Pacific Palisades, where residents have sharply criticized Bass over her handling of the Palisades fire, which destroyed thousands of homes and left 12 people dead.

On Friday, Park declined to say whether she plans to endorse, saying she simply wanted to “hear what both candidates have to say.”

"It was a mayoral debate. I'm a City Council member, taxpayer, and resident," she said in a statement. "The progress we've made on the Westside is at stake."

Back to school for Mazariegos

It's supposed to be a little like traffic school — but instead of learning to drive more safely, you learn to run a by-the-book political campaign.

Community organizer Estuardo Mazariegos, who is running to replace City Councilmember Curren Price in a South L.A. district, is now enrolled. He agreed to take a seven module, roughly three-hour class on the state's campaign finance laws to resolve a complaint filed with the Fair Political Practices Commission, said Jesse Alson-Milkman, a strategist for the campaign.

That complaint accused Mazariegos of failing to pay for community space during at least six “postcarding party” events held by his council campaign at Mercado La Paloma. The complaint was filed by Josh Rothstein, a member of the Mid City West Neighborhood Council, who says he submitted the paperwork in his own capacity.

Mazariegos is on leave as co-director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, which hosts its corporate office at Mercado La Paloma. That facility charges for certain types of meeting space, yet Mazariegos' spending report initially showed no payments or in-kind donations for such costs, Rothstein said.

Alson-Milkman said five of the postcarding events were held at the market's public dining area, so no payment or in-kind donation was needed.

The campaign did have a sixth event for which it rented a room for $2^{1/2}$ hours, Alson-Milkman said. But the invoice for \$137.50 was lost, he said, delaying payment for months.

The FPPC concluded the violation can be remedied without an enforcement action or financial penalty by having Mazariegos take a Political Reform Education Program class, Alson-Milkman said.

The class was created by the FPPC to help candidates who commit minor violations to avoid getting “a mark on their record” or a financial penalty.

'Overdue progress': Lineage cleanup completes major phase

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI Los Angeles Times
KAYLA BARTKOWSKI Los Angeles Times LINEAGE now faces a seven-day process to clear debris and power-wash and disinfect a large freezer.

By SUHAUNA HUSSAIN

After grappling with ran-cid odors and missed deadlines, Boyle Heights residents may finally get some relief, with air quality regulators confirming Saturday that millions of pounds of decaying food have been cleared from the burned Lineage facility.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District said the company's removal of the food waste marked the completion of a major phase of the cleanup process that has dragged on for more than two months since the warehouse fire was extinguished in late June.

The air quality regulator sent an enforcement team to inspect the site Saturday. The clock then started on a seven-day process to remove other debris and power-wash and disinfect the cavernous freezer.

The warehouse has two freezers, on the east and west sides of the building. Workers had cleared out and sanitized the eastern freezer, which was largely destroyed in the fire, earlier in the cleanup.

Bulk amounts of mostly meat and seafood had remained in the western freezer, which was unaffected by the blaze.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado said Lineage had blown well past the city-imposed Aug. 14 deadline to remove waste from that freezer.

"A public-health deadline should mean something," Jurado said in a Saturday news release. "The City gave

Lineage 45 days to remove the biohazard food waste; today is day 60 on the City's timeline."

She said the completion of food waste removal was “overdue progress” and “not a completed cleanup.” And, Jurado said, “it does not erase two months of odors, pests, and disruption.”

Lineage, for its part, had contested the city's deadline, arguing it couldn't start working on cleanup until July 7, pushing the 45-day clock back to an Aug. 20 deadline — a deadline the company also exceeded.

Lineage said in an emailed statement Saturday evening that the food removal was “the result of hundreds of workers on site every day, first removing boxes and pallets and then, in the final stretch, removing loose food debris by hand.”

The company said it expects to spend more than \$100 million in total on clean-up efforts.

“No cleanup of this scale and speed has been executed before, and we have dedicated every available resource to this effort," the company said. "We will not stop until the job is done."

The air quality management district said it has received more than 4,900 odor complaints related to the Lineage warehouse “reporting persistent rotten, sour and garbage-like odors.”

The agency has issued the company 38 violation notices for public nuisance.

Three neighborhood community groups on Friday filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue Lineage in federal court.

The groups accuse the company of not disclosing all chemicals emitted during the fire, posing health risks for local residents.

Lineage did not respond to a question about the new legal action.

Air quality regulators said that during the sanitation process, Lineage will need to maintain negative air pressure and keep air pollution equipment running to help mitigate fumes.

County seeks reviews of registrar

JASON ARMOND Los Angeles Times SHASTA COUNTY says it can't fire Clint Curtis and that the registrar would have to be recalled by voters.

[Ballots, from B1] [Baillots, from B1] that the ballots did not look, feel or smell right and that he had directed facilities workers to put a lock on the room and destroy the keys so that if anyone tries to gain access, they will need a warrant and bolt cutter.

Curtis said he, too, had asked the FBI to investigate.

The county fired back, saying in its statement that it wanted the FBI — as well as the California secretary of state and the attorney general — to investigate Curtis, whose short tenure as registrar has been fraught with controversy.

“Mr. Curtis was appointed to enhance transparency, strengthen election integrity, and restore trust in the democratic process,” the county wrote. “While some progress has been achieved, including the promotion of meaningful observation within the Elections Office, Mr. Curtis has failed significantly in other core responsibilities, undermining the very principles he was appointed to uphold.”

Curtis could not immediately be reached for comment. The FBI field office in Sacramento said it was unable to comment.

Shasta County Sheriff Michael Johnson, in a statement Tuesday, said he was “aware of the controversy involving the ROV and ballots,” including claims on social media that he had been requested “to sequester alleged illegal or illegitimate ballots locked in the ROV’s office [and] addressing threats made to burn down the facility.”

Johnson said Curtis had agreed to provide a statement regarding a person who allegedly threatened the facility and that it was "an active investigation."

“It is the Sheriff’s understanding that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is investigating the matter; therefore, Sheriff Johnson is urging members of the public to be patient and await the results of that investigation,” Johnson wrote. “At this point, launching a second investigation could complicate a process already in place.”

In an interview on Lindell TV, created by MAGA conspiracy theorist and My-Pillow founder Mike Lindell, Curtis said that the ballots “are being held at my office, which is kind of problematic because it’s a really old building and we have a lot of antifa people,” including one who “once commented how easy it would be to burn that building down.”

The showdown in Shasta came as Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — who in February used armed deputies to confiscate more than half a million ballots from last year's special election for Proposition 50 to determine if they were fraudulently counted — defended that seizure before the California Supreme Court.

High court justices hammered Bianco, a Republican who came in fourth in this spring's crowded California gubernatorial primary, in back-to-back hearings Aug. 24. They appeared poised to order the ballots returned and to sharply limit the sheriff's power to snatch election materials.

Recently, Curtis drew national headlines by saying he wanted to hire election denier Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was released early from prison this summer amid a pressure campaign from President Trump.

In February, Curtis was the first person to publicly announce Bianco planned to confiscate the ballots.

Potential hiring sets off alarm bells

Curtis, himself a long-time election denier, told The Times in an email that he wanted to hire Peters as a consultant “to assist with supervision of the November election.”

Curtis had worked with the Riverside County citizens group whose fraud allegations sparked Bianco's investigation, even traveling 600 miles south to speak on their behalf.

“None of our consultants have access to the voting systems, so she would be insulated from false claims,” he wrote.

Peters was convicted in 2024 and sentenced to nine years for breaching her county's voting machines as part of a scheme to show that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, a claim that has been repeatedly debunked.

She was found guilty of helping an outside computer expert, an associate of Lindell, gain unauthorized access to Mesa County's Dominion election equipment in 2021 and make copies of its hard drive before and after a software upgrade.

Peters was released from prison in June. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence after months of haranguing from the president.

of State Shirley Weber that they had “grave concern” about Curtis’ plan to hire Peters.

“We are concerned that this hiring decision in Shasta County has less to do with Ms. Peters’ qualifications, and more to do with the President’s obsession with interfering in the midterm elections,” they wrote.

The senators said that if the county hires her, Weber should “provide the maximum oversight possible to ensure that Ms. Peters does not improperly access ballots, voting systems, or sensitive information that could impact the rights and privacy of the over 100,000 registered voters in Shasta County.”

'Unsubstantiated accusations'

Curtis, a 68-year-old attorney, was appointed by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors in spring 2025 to fill the position vacated by two previous registrars who resigned for health reasons.

Curtis lived in Florida then, had no previous ties to the area and had never run an election. He got the position after advocating for hand-counting ballots and bragging in a public job interview that he had worked with Lindell.

He promptly eliminated nine of the vast, mostly rural county's 13 ballot drop boxes. He accused his predecessors, without evidence, of stuffing ballots to sabotage conservative Republicans, and repeatedly called on federal authorities to raid the office and seize ballots from previous elections.

Shasta County officials told The Times that any prospective employee or consultant would have to go through the same hiring process as anyone else seeking employment with the county.

The Board of Supervisors censured Curtis on Aug. 11 for his treatment of staff.

He responded by inviting reporters to the elections office in downtown Redding, where he shared security footage that, he said, showed employees breaking into a room in the building. He allowed reporters to take video of the footage.

The county condemned those actions in an Aug. 14 news release, saying he “has repeatedly been advised of appropriate procedures for addressing and investigating personnel matters and advised of the importance of maintaining confidentiality of such matters.”

Earlier this spring, the county released the findings of two personnel investigations into Curtis' conduct that were spurred by concerns raised by elections employees and their union representatives.

An internal investigation and an external inquiry by Oppenheimer Investigations Group found that Curtis made phone calls related to his own campaign during county work hours and casually threatened to kill, spank, slap or “throat punch” staffers.

He threatened to have one employee dragged out of the office by their hair, according to an internal investigation report by Monica Fugitt, the county's director of support services, who wrote that he had "demonstrated a clear pattern of unprofessional and abusive conduct toward staff."

Curtis has denied the findings.

Talk of hiring Peters drew swift condemnation from California lawmakers, and Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said it was looking into whether a contract with Peters violated state law.

"As soon as they assume that office, it's as if they were elected," Buettell said. To be removed from the office, he said, Curtis would have to be recalled by voters.

H. Kenneth Norian was born in 1933 in New Jersey and passed away peacefully at home in Beverly Hills. Born to Siran and Harry Norian, Armenian immigrants whose families came from Aintab, Turkey, Ken was the third of four brothers, and grew up in a close-knit family that remained an important part of his life.

H. Kenneth Norian April 15, 1933 - August 25, 2026

In 1963, Ken married Cynthia Dickranian, whom he had met at a party in New Jersey. Two years later, the couple moved west to California, where Ken became deeply involved in the business, civic, legal, and Armenian-American communities.

In its statement Tuesday, the county said he “has made and continues to make unsubstantiated accusations of illegal activities against employees without due process or an investigation.”

Following Yale, Ken served as a First Lieutenant in the United States Army Artillery. After completing his military service, Ken partnered with his brother to establish a real estate development company, where they built custom homes in northern New Jersey.

Ken attended Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood, New Jersey, where he distinguished himself as a natural leader, serving as Student Body President.

For nineteen years, Ken served as President of Premier Market of Beverly Hills. Under his leadership, he expanded the company's home-delivery service and wine business in ways that were decades ahead of their time.

He went on to Yale University, where his most significant achievement was serving as Business Manager of the Yale Daily News, a role that reflected both his leadership abilities and his keen interest in business and communications.

And on Aug. 19, Sens. Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, both Democrats, wrote in a letter to California Secretary

Ken served as Treasurer of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce and was a Founding Director of the Beverly Hills Education Foundation. For eleven years, he served as an Administrative Appellate Law Judge through the California State Bar Court, which handles attorney discipline matters under the jurisdiction of the California Supreme Court. He continued his service to the legal community as a volunteer lay arbitrator, helping resolve attorney-client fee disputes for the State Bar of California.

Ken's Armenian heritage remained a lifelong, foundational part of his identity. He served as a Fellow Trustee of the Armenian Assembly of America since its inception. He was also a devoted benefactor of the Armenian Church of North America, Western Diocese, and a forty-year Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International. Ken strongly supported the election campaigns of Governor George Deukmejian. His civic involvement reflected his belief that citizenship was not passive, but something to be actively lived. Ken remained deeply committed to preserving and strengthening the Armenian-American community for future generations.

For all of Ken's professional accomplishments, public service, interests, and lifelong pursuits, his greatest source of pride was his family. He and Cindy built a marriage and family that spanned more than six decades. They were the proud parents of four children: Thomas Archer; Timothy Katcher and his wife, PJ; John Mathew and his wife, Gia; and their daughter, Cathleen Caroun. They were also blessed with eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, who brought immense joy and pride to their lives.

Ken will be remembered not only for what he accomplished, but for the way he approached life. He was an avid reader, a music lover, and had a genuine curiosity about new technology. His generosity, work ethic, humor, and enthusiasm for life will live on in the generations that follow him.

Buettell, the deputy chief executive, told The Times that the county does not have the power to terminate Curtis' employment because he was appointed to fill a vacancy in an elected position.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, September 3rd at St. James Armenian Apostolic Church at 11am. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to The Armenian Assembly of America, The Western Diocese Camp Endowment Fund, or The St. James Armenian Apostolic Church of Los Angeles Memorial Fund.

DODGERS SLUGGER Teoscar Hernández is all smiles after his two-run homer helped Los Angeles end a forgettable August with a 6-1 win Sunday.

Long trip ends on a high-fly note

Teoscar Hernández gets Dodgers out of a rut with clutch homer

BY MADDIE LEE

DETROIT — Teoscar Hernández stopped to admire the flight of the changeup he just demolished. He waited until it touched down in the stands to toss his bat sideways toward the visiting dugout and start his trot around the bases.

"It was a big relief," Hernández said after the Dodgers' 6-1 win against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. "Every time you hit the ball like that, especially when you're not having good moments in a while, it feels really nice."

The Dodgers had been missing the big hit all road trip, playing in one-run games over their past five contests. Hernández had fallen just feet shy of hitting a home run the day before. But Sunday, his two-run homer in the sixth inning gave the Dodgers the lead.

TYLER GLASNOW threw seven innings of two-hit ball against Detroit.
JOSE JUAREZ Associated Press

“They’ve had some internal meetings amongst themselves as far as position players,” manager Dave Roberts said of the Dodgers’ best offensive performance of the trip.

"It was good to see Teo break out today. I know he's been wanting it. Just the at-bats, the walks, controlling the strike zone, throwing out some hits, building some innings — it was really good to see."

Tyler Glasnow, pitching on regular rest, turned in a gem of a start. The right-hander limited the Tigers (63-73) to one run — scored in the fourth inning, when Glasnow gave up two singles and walked a batter. Those were the only baserunners he [See Dodgers, D4]

One of greatest pass rushers wants another shot at a Super Bowl title with Rams

BY GARY KLEIN

The Pro Football Hall of Fame apparently can wait — until at least 2031.

When Aaron Donald retired two years ago, the Hall of Fame posted to social media, “The year 2029 is worth noting.”

That would have been the year Donald would be eligible as a certain first-ballot inductee in Canton, Ohio.

But on Sunday, Donald pushed back the timeline by announcing on Instagram that he is returning to join a star-studded Rams team among the favorites to win the Super Bowl in February at SoFi Stadium.

Terms of the deal were not announced, but Donald and the team agreed to a one-year contract that could be worth as much as \$20 million during the regular season and up to \$30 million if he hits all incentives, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The person requested anonymity because the contract has not been posted.

Donald's return at age 35 was not entirely unexpected. [See Donald, D3]

Gold Phoenix can't rise this time

Gelding's bid for fifth straight win at major stakes race denied by Test Score at Del Mar.

By Jay Posner successful here than a mar- garita concession stand.

One of the more remarkable streaks in the history of this nearly century-old race-track is still alive.

It's just not the one most people expected.

Gold Phoenix's bid to join Kelso as the only horses to win the same major stakes race in North America in five straight years ended Saturday evening when the 8-year-old gelding finished fourth behind Test Score and two others in the \$300,000 Del Mar Handicap.

“Got beat, I think less than a length, and got stopped there at the top of the lane,” trainer Phil D'Amato said. “That’s grass racing.”

More specifically, it's grass racing at Del Mar against Graham Motion, the East Coast trainer who in recent years has been more

Test Score was the eighth horse Motion has sent to Del Mar for a summer stakes race since 2022 — and the eighth to win.

“It’s crazy,” said assistant trainer Alice Clapham, who accompanied Test Score on his trip west. “It’s one of those things you just pinch yourself. You know it’s going to stop at some point but you just go along for the ride.”

Gold Phoenix's owners know the feeling.

They never expected their gelding to win this race four straight times, an unprecedented feat at Del Mar, but each year since 2022 he found a way, prevailing three times by less than half a length and once by $1^{1/4}$ lengths.

This time the 11-10 favorite found himself on the wrong side of a five-horse photo finish. He nosed out Mondego but was a head behind Atomic Age, who was half a length behind Atitlan, who was a neck behind Test Score. The winner, a son of Lookin at Lucky who is half Gold Phoenix's age, paid \$7.20 as the 13-5 second choice.

While disappointed, Gold Phoenix's connections weren't about to ask for condolences.

"We're so grateful for everything that he has done, for all of us and the partners," said Gary Fenton, managing partner of Little Red Feather Racing Stable. "He's just a really, really special horse and today changes nothing."

Said Billy Koch, Little Red Feather's other managing partner: "It just didn't work out the way we needed it to work out. He tries, though, every time. Can't say anything but be proud of him."

Koch said he had a feeling during the race that another win could be problematic. Gold Phoenix was near the back of the pack in the field of 11 until the far turn, when jockey Hector Berrios began urging him. The jockey had to hold him up just a bit as they came around the corner, though he had a clear run once he shifted toward the rail.

Test Score also rallied from behind but had a little smoother journey under Juan Hernandez and outdid the other closers.

"[Berrios] took a chance to go up in there," D'Amato said. "It got a little tight but once he got through, he battled and we just got outrun."

The final time of 2 minutes, 14.76 seconds for $1^{3/8}$ miles was the fastest since Gold Phoenix's initial win (2:14.51). As part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series, Test Score earned a fees-paid berth in the \$5-million Breeders' Cup Turf on Oct. 31 at Keeneland in Kentucky.

Fenton said the plan is to give Gold Phoenix another shot in that race, in which he's finished fourth twice, fifth and 10th and earned \$640,000 — about 25% of his career earnings of \$2.6 million.

He won't be the only Little Red Feather horse at Keeneland. Iron Man Cal pulled off an 8-1 upset in another Grade 2 race, the \$250,000 Pat O'Brien, which guaranteed the 4-year-old gelding a berth in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.

Titans cut Levis as NFL teams trim their rosters

THE TITANS cut 2023 second-round pick Will Levis, who went 5-16 as a starter.

Tennessee drops the quarterback while Browns, Falcons keep four signal-callers.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis was among more than 1,100 players cut Sunday as NFL teams trimmed their rosters, a person with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Titans hadn't announced their cuts.

A second-round pick in 2023 who started 21 games for the Titans, Levis was stuck behind Cam Ward and Mitch Trubisky. He was 5-16 for Tennessee in two seasons and didn't play in 2025 following shoulder surgery.

"I think he's been awesome," Titans coach Robert Saleh said of Levis after Saturday's game. "I thought he did a really nice job today. I thought he had a really good two-minute drive at the end of the half. Very good awareness with the time."

Levis said he believes he can be a starting quarter-back in the NFL.

"I feel like you've got to have that confidence in yourself regardless of your position," Levis said after going 14 for 22 for 143 yards against the Bears in a 24-15 loss to close out the preseason. “I saw a quote, I forget who it was, but it’s, ‘Everyone in the league here is a starter.’ You’ve got to have that mentality. You could be in at the press of a button and just be ready to play. That’s one thing that I feel like I gained a lot in my time away, is gaining back some of the confidence that I lost throughout the last year that I played and I’m going to maintain that mindset the rest of my career.”

Teams had to be down to 53 players from 90 before 3 p.m. PDT.

Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made the New York Giants after missing the 2025 season.

The Vikings kept J.J. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024. Anthony Richardson, a first-round pick in 2023, remains with the Colts. Both quarterbacks were on the bubble.

The Browns kept four quarterbacks after placing Dillon Gabriel on injured reserve with a back injury. Shedeur Sanders will back up Deshaun Watson and rookie Taylen Green is No. 3 on the depth chart. Gabriel, who started six games as a rookie last season, can return in Week 5.

The Atlanta Falcons also went with four quarterbacks, keeping Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr.,

Cooper Rush and Jack Strand.

Many of the players who were cut will rejoin their teams on the practice squad. Others will go to new teams. Some will reach the end of their NFL career.

Several teams made trades ahead of the cutdown deadline.

Offensive tackle Broderick Jones, a 2023 first-round pick, changed teams on Sunday. So did quarterback Quinn Ewers and defensive lineman CJ Okoye. Quarterback Kyle McCord, tight ends Hunter Long and Mark Redman, tackle Walter

Rouse, defensive back Clark Phillips III, defensive lineman Gervon Dexter, centers Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and Jarrett Patterson were also traded.

A day after trading Ewers to Jacksonville, the Dolphins landed a new backup quarterback by acquiring McCord from Green Bay for a 2028 sixth-round pick. The Dolphins had acquired a 2028 sixth-round pick from the Jaguars for Ewers.

McCord threw four touchdown passes in a 42-38 victory over Arizona on Friday, including two in the final $3^{1/2}$ minutes. But the

Packers signed Tyrod Taylor in May to back up Jordan Love.

McCord will back up Malik Willis, who signed a three-year, \$67.5-million contract in March after playing behind Love in Green Bay the past two seasons.

The Cardinals acquired Long and a 2028 seventh-round selection from Jacksonville for a sixth-round selection in 2028. Long has 20 receptions for 153 yards in 46 games.

The Colts got Van Pran-Granger and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Buffalo for a 2027 sixth-round selection.

Van Pran-Granger appeared in 18 games, including one start with the Bills in two seasons.

The trade is an indication starter Connor McGovern will be ready to go after missing much of the past month with an undisclosed lower-body injury. Lloyd Cushenberry had replaced McGovern when he was sidelined.

The Bears acquired a 2027 fifth-round pick and Phillips from Atlanta for Dexter.

The 49ers added a backup center in Patterson from Houston for a 2027 seventh-round pick, a person familiar with the deal said on condition of anonymity because it hadn't been announced. Patterson started 21 games over the past three seasons after being a sixth-round pick by the Texans in 2023. He will back up Jake Brendel in San Francisco. The 49ers had signed Brett Toth to fill that role in the offseason but he has been out since early August with a concussion.

The Packers continued to boost their tight end depth by acquiring Redman from the Rams for a 2028 seventh-round pick. The move comes three days after Green Bay signed veteran tight end Jonnu Smith.

The Vikings sent Rouse and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027.

Rams' star-studded 53-man roster is all set

Donald returns, and undrafted linebacker Bailey makes the cut after strong preseason.

BY GARY KLEIN

The Rams went into training camp with a roster jammed with stars and other notable players.

So for an undrafted player to make the team's initial 53-man roster was among the most unlikely scenarios in the NFL.

And that was before future Hall of Fame defensive lineman Aaron Donald announced Sunday that he was ending a two-year retirement to rejoin a team favored to win the Super Bowl.

But outside linebacker

Wesley Bailey, an undrafted free agent who played at Rutgers and Louisville, beat the odds. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Bailey impressed during preseason games against the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints before playing only a few snaps against the Chargers, an indication that coach Sean McVay was going to keep him.

The Rams waived or terminated the contracts of 34 players, including defensive lineman Tim Keenan III, a seventh-round draft pick. If they clear waivers, many are expected to be signed to the 16-player practice squad.

The Rams moved to get something for at least one player they feared would not clear waivers, trading tight end Mark Redman to the Green Bay Packers for a 2028 seventh-round draft pick.

They also placed offensive linemen Justin Dedich and Keagen Trost on injured reserve, along with quarterback Matthew Caldwell.

The Rams, led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, the reigning NFL most valuable player, open the season on Sept. 10 against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

McVay has not said whether Stetson Bennett or rookie Ty Simpson will be Stafford's backup.

Star receiver Puka Nacua and starting left tackle Alaric Jackson are the subjects of continuing investigations by the NFL related to separate off-the-field incidents. If the league determines that they violated the league's personal-conduct policy, they could be suspended.

Barring change, the Rams will travel to Australia with a roster top-heavy with tight ends, receivers and outside linebackers and — because of players' versatility — minimal numbers at cornerback.

McVay's incorporation of three tight-end sets into the offense last season paved the way for the Rams to carry five tight ends: Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, Terrance Ferguson and rookie Max Klare. Ferguson's skill set ostensibly makes him an option as a third receiver behind stars Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

The Rams' trade last week for veteran Tutu Atwell, in a deal that sent running back Jarquez Hunter to the Miami Dolphins, gives them seven receivers.

Bailey is part of an outside linebacker group that includes Myles Garrett, Byron Young, Josaiah Stewart and Desjuan Johnson.

Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Josh Wallace are the cornerbacks. The Rams kept only four in part because safety Quentin Lake plays as a hybrid slot corner/ inside linebacker, and Wallace can play safety.

Dedich and Trost must sit out four games. The nine offensive linemen on the roster are starting center Coleman Shelton, guards Kevin Dotson and Steve Avila and tackles Jackson and Warren McClendon Jr., along with reserves David Quessenberry, Beaux Limmer, Bill Murray and Dylan McMahon.

Hall of Fame can wait as Donald rejoins the Rams

[Donald, from D1]

The three-time NFL defensive player of the year remains a fitness maniac and has consistently posted clips of his weightlifting sessions to social media.

Donald worked out for Rams defensive line coach Giff Smith and Rams trainers during training camp at Loyola Marymount. He also was captured on a video posted to social media that showed him hitting a blocking sled at UCLA. And he worked out at the Rams' facility at least twice recently.

When the Rams in June traded for defensive end Myles Garrett, a two-time defensive player of the year, speculation and chatter began about the possibility of Donald joining him to form perhaps the most formidable pass-rushing duo in history.

When asked, at Garrett's introductory news conference, about Donald's possible return, coach Sean McVay did not rule out the possibility.

“Listen, if he’s interested...,” McVay said teasingly, adding: “If Aaron decides he wants to dust them off at the age of 35, I bet you he could still do it at a pretty high clip.”

Teammates and former teammates also weighed in on podcasts and social media.

Throughout training camp and preseason practices, McVay repeatedly said the Rams would let Donald go through his decision-making process with no hard timeline.

But McVay also noted that he was in contact with Donald almost daily, and hinted that “if there’s an arrow, it’s trending upwards.”

Garrett and other players said they would not try to sway Donald but would welcome him back.

As Donald pursues a second Super Bowl title — he clinched the first by pressuring Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow at the end of Super Bowl LVI — he can add to a 10-year legacy that is already among the league's all-time greats.

Donald was voted defensive player of the year in 2017, 2018 and 2020, and has amassed 111 sacks, making him perhaps the most dominant interior defensive lineman in league history.

Garrett, 30, plays on the edge and in nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns produced 125.5 sacks, including a record 23 last season.

Donald, who had a career-best 20.5 sacks in 2018, was something of an iron man in his first 10 seasons. He missed only six games because of injury in his career, all because of an ankle injury he suffered during the Rams' disastrous 2022 Super Bowl-hangover season.

Donald joins a defense remade after the Rams' loss to the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks in last season's NFC championship game.

The Rams traded for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie and signed cornerback Jaylen Watson, both of whom won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Then they traded star edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick and future second- and third-round picks to the Browns for Garrett.

The Rams' defensive front now includes Donald, Garrett, linemen Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske and Poona Ford and edge rusher Byron Young.

NFL REPORT Colts' Allen is arrested for DUI

WIRE REPORTS

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen was arrested Sunday on drunken driving charges.

Allen, 34, is facing preliminary misdemeanor charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers conducted a traffic investigation shortly after 1 a.m. after observing a vehicle parked in a no-parking zone. Officers “noticed signs of intoxication” when they spoke with Allen. He was arrested after further investigation.

The Colts announced on Aug. 19 that they had agreed to a one-year contract with Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl selection.

“We are aware of the incident involving Keenan Allen last night,” the Colts said in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time.”

Allen had 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games with the Chargers last season.

Two on exempt list

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the NFL commissioner's exempt list while two misdemeanor charges against him are pending, a move that prevents him from practicing or attending games.

Players continue to get paid while on the commissioner's exempt list.

Brown County (Wisconsin) Dist. Atty. David Lasee announced Thursday that Jacobs had been charged with battery and criminal damage to property. The charges arose from what police described as a physical confrontation between Jacobs and his girlfriend.

A person with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press on Sunday that Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who's facing a felony strangulation charge, also will start the season on the commissioner's exempt list.

Cooper faces an arraignment Monday on several domestic violence charges following two arrests in June stemming from altercations with a woman he was dating at the time.

Cooper could face a lengthy suspension under the NFL's domestic violence policy.

He is a key member of a defense that has led the league in sacks each of the past two seasons.

Cubs' star mashes, and flashes MVP credentials

Crow-Armstrong hits three homers as the Harvard-Westlake alum makes a push.

BY JAY COHEN

CHICAGO — Pete Crow-Armstrong turned two pregame conversations with Sammy Sosa into one of the best days of his career.

Crow-Armstrong homered three times and drove in six runs on Saturday, adding to his case for National League MVP and powering the Chicago Cubs to a runaway 17-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The All-Star center fielder had four hits and scored four times, delighting the crowd of 39,597 at Wrigley Field.

"I think Pete's having a wonderful season," manager Craig Counsell said. "It's a lot of fun to watch. ... We're lucky to be a part of it."

Crow-Armstrong, 24, saw Sosa in the lobby as he made his way into the ballpark, and the two talked again in the batting cage. Sosa, 57, was part of a pregame ceremony celebrating Chicago's 150 years as a National League franchise.

Crow-Armstrong said Sosa told him he wanted to see even more out of him, and then told him he wanted him to hit three homers during the game.

"He was like, ‘I want three out of you today. ... I need three,’" Crow-Armstrong said. "And sure enough, I don't know what he passed down to me there."

Crow-Armstrong continued his bid to unseat Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani as NL MVP after the Japanese

slugger took home the honor each of the previous two years.

While Ohtani has been limited to designated hitter with L.A., Crow-Armstrong is one of baseball's top defensive players. And he has turned into a consistent threat at the plate as well, batting .282 with 36 homers, 89 RBIs and 32 steals in 136 games.

"Sometimes you feel it in your bones that you got a day like today in you and I did today," Crow-Armstrong said.

Crow-Armstrong hit a 435-foot drive to right-center in the first for his eighth career leadoff homer — all this season. He went deep again in the second, sending a two-run shot off the foul pole in right.

It was Crow-Armstrong's fifth multi-homer game this season and No. 11 for his career.

"I think he can change the game in so many different ways," teammate Alex Bregman said. "I think that one day it's hitting three homers, the next day it's making three diving plays or just running down balls that nobody else can go catch out there in center field. Next day, it's stealing third and the ball going in the left field and him scoring. It's just so many different things he can do on a baseball field."

Crow-Armstrong got each of his first three hits off left-hander Andrew Abbott. He is batting .315 with 11 homers and 34 RBIs against lefties this season after he hit just .188 with seven homers and 27 RBIs versus lefties in 2025.

“It’s getting on the dish and learning the strike zone better,” he said. “I’m just, I think I’m getting better naturally as a baseball player overall.”

Batting with runners on first and second in the seventh, Crow-Armstrong hit a 444-foot drive to center off right-hander Tony Santillan. The crowd chanted “M-V-P! M-V-P!” as he rounded the bases.

With catcher Jose Trevino pitching in the eighth, Crow-Armstrong bounced to second. But the fans cheered anyway, saluting his first career three-homer game with a long ovation.

"The relationship has grown with all these fans," Crow-Armstrong said, "so I'm just enjoying my time here more and more every day, walking down the street or in my uniform."

Dodgers' offense shows signs of life

allowed in seven innings.

"It's a good sign for sure," Glasnow said of pitching deep into his second start off the injured list. "I like that I'm kind of getting into a rhythm right now. While I was in rehab, too, I was on a five-day [routine] for I think like two or three of them. So I like it. I think like a five- or a six-day feels relatively similar. However it lines up, it lines up. But I like doing both of 'em."

The Dodgers (82-55) widened their advantage with a three-run eighth, scoring two runs off wild pitches, to claim a series win.

The Dodgers' 2-4 trip put the finishing touches on a 13-14 August — their only month this season with a losing record. As the Dodgers move on from what Roberts called a “very forgettable” August, here are three story lines to follow in September:

Can the offense get going?

An offensive turnaround seems to be the answer to their influx of one-run games — 15 in August alone. The Dodgers entered Sunday with just 203 runs scored in July and August, ranked No. 22 in the majors.

"I've got to think about what I can do to spur this offense," Roberts said Saturday night. "I don't know right now as I sit here. These are our guys that have performed. I believe in them. But I don't know the answer, as far as making changes and things like that, whether it's lineup construction. But I think in total, you've got a group of guys that just really aren't swinging the bats great."

September call-ups could be one way to inject new energy in the lineup. Catcher Will Smith (neck) is set to return from the injured list, likely making Ben Rortvedt the odd man out behind the plate, judging by the way he's split time with Hunter Feduccia.

"Certainly looking at a left-handed bat," Roberts said of the position-player addition when rosters expand on Sept. 1. "That's something that we could use if we're talking about adding a player. I don't know who the player is going to be, but that's kind of where my head's at."

GREGORY SHAMUS Getty Images

Catcher Dalton Rushing (elbow) is expected to eventually serve as that left-handed bat off the bench. But, though he has started a throwing progression, he won't be ready to return Tuesday, Roberts said.

Will Ohtani return to pitching?

The Dodgers are waiting until they get back to L.A. to decide on the next steps for Shohei Ohtani, after he wasn't ready to return to pitching Sunday.

In less than a week, the Dodgers have gone from an abundance of starting pitching options to, with right-hander Roki Sasaki landing

on the injured list and Ohtani's ramp-up in a holding pattern, possibly needing a spot starter in the coming weeks.

None of this signals a big change for the postseason rotation. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell, Glasnow and Ohtani are all still the candidates for the four spots.

At this point, however, Ohtani building up to a full starter's workload by the end of the season seems to be a long shot. So, he's more likely to piggyback with another starter, at least in early rounds, or focus solely on hitting.

Can they get a bye?

The Dodgers could benefit from a soft September schedule. They're set to face only one team that entered Sunday in playoff position — the Padres, who held the last NL wild-card spot.

“You have to play the games,” Roberts said. “And if we don’t play well, it doesn’t matter who we play. And if we play well, it doesn’t matter who. That’s the way I feel.”

Though the Dodgers proved just last year that they could win the World Series after starting in the wild-card round, it's an easier route for the No. 1 and 2 seeds in each league.

The first-round bye not only means fewer games but also time to line up pitching for the division series.

The Dodgers, as repeat champions, have played more games than any other team the last few years. But Roberts didn't embrace that as an excuse.

"I hear the thought that the games we played in the last couple years, the part of the year, the grind," Roberts said. "I get all that, but I just have a hard time accepting that. But I think that there's some arguments being made for that. But I just feel

Phillies finish sweep of Angels

Sosa hits a tiebreaking homer in the seventh as Anaheim drops its seventh straight game.

By Mike DiGiovanna

Zack Wheeler gave up one run in six strong innings and Edmundo Sosa hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies completed a three-game sweep with a 5-2 win over the Angels on Sunday.

Sosa, whose pinch-hit grand slam in the ninth gave Philadelphia a 5-3 win Friday night, led off the seventh with a solo shot off Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi (0-5) to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead.

The Phillies added two insurance runs in the eighth on Luis Arraez's pinch-hit sacrifice fly and Brandon Marsh's pinch-hit RBI single for a 4-1 lead. Bryce Harper added an RBI double in the ninth for a 5-1 lead.

Alex McFarlane threw a scoreless seventh and Orion Kerkering gave up a run on Mike Trout's ninth-inning RBI double while recording the final four outs for his second save.

The Phillies won for the 13th time in 15 games. The Angels have lost seven straight, matching their longest streak of the season and their third such skid of 2026.

Wheeler (11-5) gave up four hits, struck out six and walked three to outduel Kikuchi, who gave up two runs and six hits in seven innings.

Wheeler went 0-3 with an 8.38 ERA in his previous four

a-struck out for Vázquez in the 8th. b-popped out for Pache in the 8th. 1-ran for Baty in the 6th.

Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead RBI double and Trea Turner had a two-run single in the 10th inning in the Philadelphia Phillies' 4-2 victory over the Angels on Saturday night.

Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (2-4) threw a scoreless ninth and gave up an unearned run in the 10th as Philadelphia won for the 12th time in 14 games. The Angels (52-84) have lost six straight.

The top of the 10th began with automatic runner Brandon Marsh getting thrown out at third on J.T.

Realmuto's grounder to short off Angels reliever Trevor Martin. Justin Crawford singled, advancing Realmuto to third.

Angels shortstop Zach Neto capped a 12-pitch at-bat in the eighth with a solo homer off Phillies reliever Jonathan Bowlan, tying the score 1-1 and ending a string of 30 consecutive innings without an extra-base hit for the Angels.

Schwarber blooped an RBI single to left-center for a 2-1 lead, Crawford taking third and Schwarber second on the throw. Turner squibbed a grounder through the right side of a drawn-in infield for a two-run single and a 4-1 lead.

Neto's 23rd homer spoiled a superb start by Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez, who yielded two hits and struck out eight — bringing his season total to 202 — and walked one in seven innings to lower his ERA to 2.52.

The Phillies blew a chance to add to a 1-0 lead in the eighth, which began with a Turner single and stolen base and a Bryce Harper walk. Turner was caught off the second-base bag and picked off.

Harper took second and third on a wild pitch, but Luis Arraez grounded to first, Harper holding. Harper was called safe on a daring steal of home off Martin, but the call was overturned by replay, ending the inning.

Angels starter Ryan Johnson managed to give up one run in five innings despite issuing four of his five walks and throwing 60 of his 88 pitches in the first two innings. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the second when Alex Bohm singled, Bryson Stott walked and Marsh hit an RBI single.

CTE study renews concerns about teens, football

Parents must weigh the risks and rewards of letting their kids play contact sports.

BY ERIC SONDHEIMER

New headlines are raising concerns for parents of high school football players.

According to a study published from researchers at Mass General Brigham, Boston University and the Concussion & CTE Foundation, one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 might have had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). There were 338 brains donated to study, and 315 of them had evidence of CTE, a brain disorder that can happen because of repeated injuries to the head.

Allan Walsh, a sports agent and lawyer, said in a tweet: "This is a crisis."

Parents have previously debated among themselves the risks and rewards in letting a son or daughter play a contact sport, but this new study regarding football head injuries is once again going to rattle, if not cause a retreat, from some allowing family members to participate in football.

"It causes concern," said Mike Hamilton, a former high school football and basketball coach who has a son playing football at Chatsworth High. "Sometimes I'm like, 'Do I want him to play?' I'm apprehensive. He has a passion for the game. He's conscience about his health. What gives me relief is knowing that practices are going well. There are protocols parents should abide by. We didn't let our son play football until he got to high school because of the hits."

Tim Moscicki, an athletic trainer at Loyola High for 38 years, said much has changed for the better in protecting football players from concussions and other head injuries. He said new policies, improved equipment, a focus on tackling fundamentals and new protocols are all having an effect.

He remembers the days when coaches would say, "He got his bell rung." The player would sit out a few plays, then get put back in. Now that term is barred from everyone's vocabulary. New rules requiring players to sit out a minimum of seven days after a concussion while needing clearance from a doctor to return and tackling restrictions put in during weekly practices show the CIF is taking CTE concerns seriously for high school sports.

"To me, football has gotten a lot safer," Moscicki said. "Right now, given what's in place, it's safe to play football. Kids are being held out now when they develop any kind of symptom. Back in 1990, if a kid had a concussion and they were free of symptoms for 24 hours, we'd give them their helmet back, 'You can play.'

"My thing it's still up to parents if they want their sons to play football. My youngest played football, oldest played lacrosse. There's always a risk. There's a risk riding a bike. There's risk playing baseball. It's a just a little higher in the full-contact sports. The standards have changed so much. There really wasn't a return to play protocol in the '70s, '80s and '90s."

Moscicki was one of the first high school athletic trainers to do baselining of all students, giving them tests of their balance and brain functions so they can be used and compared with similar exams if the student is suspected of having a concussion. Loyola also started a return-to-school program because students with concussions have headaches that also affect their schoolwork.

Parents must understand “you cannot prevent a concussion,” Moscicki said.

"If you get hit hard enough, there's nothing out there that would $100\%$ prevent a concussion," he said. "A concussion happens as a result of your brain hitting the inside of your skull."

The good news is everyone seems to be endorsing funding research into head injuries, including the NFL. It's still too early to conclude where the research is headed.

That's where parental choice comes into play.

“Football is a sport,” Moscicki said. “You don’t have to play it. You don’t have to watch it.”

And yet the Super Bowl is the most watched annual television broadcast in the United States, with lots of monetary rewards for those who participate.

There are many challenges ahead. Pierce College and Orange Coast College paused their junior college football programs this year for lack of players. Junior varsity programs at many high schools have been discontinued for lack of players.

A CIF participation survey for 2025-26 found 11-man football is the most popular boys sport with 87,718 participants, a drop of 4% from last school year.

“Anything that’s a contact sport runs a risk,” Hamilton said.

"You want to protect your son."

Key players for the Bruins

[UCLA, from D1] new coach Bob Chesney signed James Madison transfer Knight, who is coming off a record-breaking season during which he earned 2,039 all-purpose yards.

Knight, 5 feet 7, is not your prototypical power back, but he makes up for it with incredible speed, cutting ability and versatility.

Although Knight is coming to a more defensively stout Big Ten, stats and athleticism do not lie, and the Smyrna, Del., native gives the Bruins an explosive playmaker.

UCLA has not had a 750-yard wide receiver since Jake Bobo in 2022. Ia-maleava has never had such a receiver. That may change in 2026.

Brian Rowe transferred from South Carolina to UCLA in the offseason, wasting no time capturing the attention of the media throughout the spring and preseason camp.

Rowe impressed visitors and his teammates with his athleticism and “joystick” yards-after-the-catch ability. His speed can be an asset in run and pass schemes, with Rowe displaying the cutting ability to turn a five-yard grab into a 20-yard gain and the catch radius and high-point ability to make contested catches down the field.

Trent Hendrick, linebacker The latest Bruin transfer may have the biggest impact.

Hendrick may have some growing pains after arriving less than two weeks before the season opener, but the four-year veteran ran a similar defense last season while playing for Chesney.

Hendrick had 106 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles last season at James Madison, earning 2025 Sun Belt defensive

player of the year honors.

And though some may question his ability to produce in the Big Ten, he is being paired with arguably his most talented partner yet in Oklahoma transfer Sammy Omosigho, who had 97 tackles, four passes defended and two sacks during three seasons in Norman, Okla.

Sahir West, defensive end

UCLA ranked last in the nation in sacks and tied for third worst in interceptions.

West, a JMU transfer, should help in both areas. The junior earned seven sacks last season and earned Sun Belt freshman of the year honors.

West has not been tested by Big Ten teams, but he was a highly sought-after transfer in the portal and should immediately fortify a pass rush that was non-existent in Westwood, allowing opposing quarterbacks to take their time in the pocket.

West's superior pass-rushing abilities should force opposing signal-call-ers into rushed decisions and errant throws, potential gifts for the Bruins.

Rodrick Pleasant and Derrick Barksdale, cornerbacks

Pleasant, who earned

All-Big Ten honorable mention honors last season, and Barksdale, a third-team All-Sun Belt selection, anchor the Bruins' secondary.

With returning defensive back Scooter Jackson's eligibility still up in the air, it looks like the Bruins will go into 2026 with Barksdale and Pleasant as the team's starting outside corner-backs.

Both corners boast exceptional speed, with Pleasant breaking the California state record for the 100-meter dash and Barksdale a kick returner at JMU in 2023.

Their speed is a big asset for the undersized duo, who are 5 feet 10 and 5-8, respectively.

Pleasant figures to be the Bruins' top corner, coming off a season in which he logged seven pass breakups in just 10 games, ranking No. 10 in the Big Ten. Pleasant will most likely shadow opposing teams' best receivers, where he can use his speed to deny over-the-top deep shots and prevent yards after catch.

Though Barksdale will likely be the Bruins' second cornerback, his versatility allows him to play both slot and outside. Barksdale tallied two interceptions and 12 pass breakups last

season.

Tao Johnson, safety

Johnson, a Utah transfer, has been one of the more under-appreciated addi-tions to Chesney's squad.

Johnson logged 35 starts the past three seasons for the Utes, registering 154 tackles, six tackles for a loss, 16 pass breakups and three interceptions while anchoring a defense that ranked No. 17 in the nation in passing yards allowed per game.

He was recruited out of high school as a wide receiver before switching to defensive back, and his pass-catching background gives him an edge tracking the ball.

Johnson's athleticism allows him to play press man coverage, cover the field sideline to sideline and serve as a formidable backstop.

Coupling his athleticism with his knack for tracking the quarterback's eyes allows him to make plays on the ball and disrupt opposing teams' passing games.

Johnson also excels in the open field, allowing him to cover space, step into the box and make plays on the ball carrier, fortifying a run defense that ranked 18th worst in rushing yards allowed per game last season.

SOCCER REPORT

Lozano scores first goal with the Galaxy

WIRE REPORTS

Amahl Pellegrino added some insurance with a shorthanded goal in the second half and Anders Dreyer had two assists as San Diego FC went on to beat the Galaxy 3-1 on Saturday night in San Diego.

Midfielder Jeppe Tverskov left San Diego a man down when he was tagged for his second yellow card in the 50th minute and Hirving "Chucky" Lozano scored unassisted five minutes later to cut it to 2-1.

It was Lozano's first goal with the Galaxy (6-9-8) after finishing with nine goals and 10 assists for San Diego last season — his first in the league.

Rookie Elias Achouri staked San Diego (8-8-6) to a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute with his second goal in four matches and it stood through halftime. Dreyer and Onni Valakari had assists.

Dreyer set up rookie defender Kieran Sargeant for his first career goal three minutes into the second half for a two-goal lead. Pellegrino gave San Diego a two-goal advantage in the 70th minute with his third netter this season.

CJ dos Santos finished with seven saves for San Diego.

Novak Micovic stopped three shots in his sixth start this season for the Galaxy.

Lloris records 11th shutout in LAFC tie

Hugo Lloris had his MLS-leading 11th shutout this season for LAFC in a scoreless tie with host D.C. United on Saturday night.

LAFC (10-7-6) has scored two goals during its five-match winless streak against MLS competition following three consecutive victories by a combined score of 10-1.

Lloris finished with three saves. He pushed a first-touch shot by Jackson Hopkins over the crossbar in the 48th minute and made a diving stop on a low shot by Louis Munteanu near the top of the penalty arc in the 63rd minute.

FINDING HOPE AT THE END OF THE WORLD

With his postapocalyptic ‘Dog Stars’ out, Ridley Scott mulls AI, helpers and projects

BY EMILY ZEMLER

R

idley Scott keeps looking down while we're talking, a thick marker in his hand. Earlier in our conversation, which veers rapidly across his prolific career, he held up a series of storyboards scrawled on white paper. Long known in Hollywood as "Ridleygrams," they're for his next project, an adaptation of Robert Louis

Stevenson's “Treasure Island.” Now, it appears the filmmaker has been drawing for almost the entire hour of our Zoom call.

"I'm not bored," he says, a smile on his face. But Scott, speaking from his home in the French countryside, has the sheepish look of a kid who's been caught not paying attention in class. "I'm just always working on this," he says.

It's not news that Scott, 88, is an exceptional visual director. It seems obvious that someone who creates films would be interested in pictures. But since Scott's early features, including his 1977 debut "The Duellists," a historical drama about rival officers during the Napoleonic Wars, and his groundbreaking 1979 space horror film "Alien," Scott has allowed his stories to speak through evocative, immersive images rather than unnecessary exposition.

The British director says it's because he got his start in advertising after attending the Royal College of Art in London. After 1982's neon-coated sci-fi thriller "Blade Runner," Scott notably made the iconic Apple Macintosh computer ad "1984," a memorable Orwellian-themed clip that contained suggestions of the dystopias that would continue to fascinate Scott in his filmmaking.

'Boyhood' remains timeless 12 years on

Filmmaker Richard Linklater reflects on why his innovative movie still connects.

BY MARK OLSEN

Prolific and versatile, Richard Linklater has been one of the most joyously unpredictable filmmakers for more than 35 years.

From the rambling philosophizing of 1990's "Slacker," one of the key films of the American independent film movement, to titles such as the high-school hangout of "Dazed and Confused," the achingly romantic "Before" trilogy and more recent idiosyncratic projects like "Hit

Man," "Blue Moon" and "Nouvelle Vague," he has crafted relatable characters with a sympathetic eye. All of his films brim with the stuff of life.

“Boyhood” might be the most emblematic of Linklater’s works: emotionally direct and heartfelt but made in an unusual, unprecedented way. Shot over 12 years with the same set of principal actors, the 2014 film features young Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater (the filmmaker’s daughter), who grow up before the viewers’ eyes.

His signature role was Optimus Prime; he also took on Eeyore of ‘Winnie the Pooh.’

By Tracy Brown

Peter Cullen, the voice actor whose regal timbre as the heroic Optimus Prime in the "Transformers" franchise and deep tone as the gloomy Eeyore in "Winnie the Pooh" projects who was beloved by generations, has died. He was 85.

Cullen died Wednesday in his Los Angeles home, his agent Kevin Motley confirmed to The Times on Thursday. A cause of death was not given.

He “passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family — and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide,” his family said in a statement and asked “that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember ‘be strong enough to be gentle.’”

A prolific voice actor whose work spanned television shows, movies, video games and even theme park rides, Cullen amassed more than 200 credits over his career. This includes the eponymous giant ape in the 1976 remake of "King Kong," the villainous vehicle KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot) in the "Knight Rider" TV series and the clicks and trills of the deadly alien hunter in the original "Predator" film.

But Cullen is best known for his work in animation and children's cartoons in the 1980s and '90s.

His signature role was Optimus Prime, the leader of a heroic faction of sentient alien robots known as Autobots who battle the villainous Decepticons in the “Transformers” franchise.

Cullen often spoke about how his voice for the leader

— who transforms into a truck — was inspired by his older brother, Larry, a Marine who had served in Vietnam.

On the day of his “Transformers” audition, Cullen had mentioned to Larry, his roommate at the time, that he was on his way to try out to be the voice of “a hero truck.”

Larry responded, "Well, if you're gonna be a hero, be a real hero. Don't be a jerk. ... Be strong enough to be gentle. Be understanding. Be compassionate, and be able to kick ass — in a good way," Cullen previously told The Times.

"He said it in a voice that was subdued and calm," Cullen continued. "He's 13 months older and 6 inches taller. Made of steel. He was my hero. [His words] weighed heavily on me. So I'm at the audition reading the breakdown of the character and what I have to say in the audition. I can just feel Larry's words coming out of my mouth. So, I took his sound — my first words were, 'My name is Optimus Prime.'

Cullen originated the role in the 1980s animated “Transformers” series, referred to by fans as “G1” or “Generation 1.” The era also includes the big-screen “The Transformers: The Movie” (1986), which featured the beloved character’s controversial death, but the character eventually returned after fan outcry.

When “Transformers” jumped to live action in Michael Bay’s 2007 film, Cullen was once again tapped to voice Optimus Prime.

He continued through the follow-up films, including “Revenge of the Fallen” (2009), “Dark of the Moon” (2011), “Age of Extinction” (2014) and “The Last Knight” (2017), as well as the 2018 prequel “Bumblebee” and “Transformers: Rise of the

Beasts" (2023).

He told NPR that returning to play Optimus Prime in these films was “like slipping into an old pair of shoes that you hid in the back of your closet.”

Cullen was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for his work as Optimus Prime in the TV series "Transformers: Prime" in 2011 and won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Children's and Family Emmy Awards in 2023.

Peter Claver Cullen was born on July 28, 1941, in Montreal, to American parents Henry and Muriel Cullen. One of four children, he graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 1963. He later did Shakespeare for a summer in Stratford, Ontario, before working for a year at the Crest Theatre in Toronto as a member of the repertory company, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

He told NPR he discovered his talent for doing different voices while working on a farm as a child and imitating animals.

Besides Optimus Prime, one of Cullen's favorite roles was Eeyore, the endearing but pessimistic donkey from "Winnie the Pooh." Cullen first voiced the character in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" series, which aired from 1988 to 1991. He continued his work as Eeyore through numerous franchise installments, including "The Tigger Movie" (2000), "Piglet's Big Movie" (2003) and "The Book of Pooh" series.

"I enjoyed doing Eeyore because he was simply charming," Cullen said to NPR. "And I get an awful lot of reactions from, especially, young kids, when I go up and just say [in Eeyore's voice], 'Hello. Thanks for noticing me.' And to see their faces light up, that to me is one of the great joys."

Cullen is survived by his four children, Angus, Claire, Pilar and Clay, according to the Associated Press.

She was a top female recording artist of the 1950s who became a ‘Gong Show’ panelist.

By Mark Kennedy

NEW YORK

Jaye P. Morgan, one of the top female recording artists of the 1950s with five hits in 1955 alone who later became a frequent talk show guest and game show panelist, infamously taking off her shirt on "The Gong Show," has died. She was 94.

Morgan died on Aug. 24 of natural causes in Longview, Wash., said Mark Sendroff, longtime attorney and friend. She had been living with her nephew and niece, Duke Morgan Spencer and Peggy Sue Spencer.

Morgan's Top 10 hits were "That's All I Want From You" and "The Longest Walk." Her Top 20 hits were "Danger! Heartbreak Ahead," "If You Don't Want My Love" and "Pepper-Hot Baby." She also had two Top 20 hits with Perry Como, "Chee Chee-Oo Chee (Sang the Little Bird)" and "Two Lost Souls," and a hit with Eddy Arnold called "Mutual Admiration Society" that reached No. 47 on the Billboard singles chart.

Later she became a regular guest on “The Tonight Show” and appeared with Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett and Mike Douglas, as well as spots on “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” But it was her years starting in 1976 hamming it up as a celebrity judge — along with Jamie Farr and Rip Taylor — on the chaotic “Gong Show” that cemented her fame.

On the show, amateur performers tried out their acts, and when one of the judges couldn't stand it anymore, they smashed a gong, ending the proceedings. The performer who won the day's show received a check for the random amount of \$516.32.

On one episode, Eugene Patton — the dancing stage-hand performing as Gene Gene the Dancing Machine — started his thing when Morgan opened her shirt to expose her breasts, helping bring an end to the show's run on NBC in 1978.

“It paid good money, and it was great exposure. I really enjoyed it,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1992.

"Jaye P. Morgan's devil-may-care ad libs on television game shows have probably made her more famous as a personality than as a singer," the New York Times wrote in 1984. "But the same kooky recklessness that inspires Miss Morgan's remarks is also a part of her musical sensibility."

Her film credits include "The All-American Boy" with Jon Voight, "Loose Shoes," "The Gong Show Movie," "Night Patrol" and the 2002 Miramax release "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," directed by

George Clooney.

Born Mary Margaret Morgan in a log cabin in Mancos, Colo., she started her show business career early. At age 3, she was part of the Morgan Family, a traveling vaudeville act that included her mother, father, sister and five brothers. The group disbanded after their father's death in 1945.

Morgan was class treasurer of her California high school, and her peers nicknamed her J.P. after the 19th century financier J.P. Morgan. She later feminized it by changing the initial J to Jaye.

By the time she was 17, she was singing professionally again. In 1950, she joined Frank De Vol's orchestra, singing with it for three years.

Her recording career got underway via “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries” and “Just a Gigolo” with De Vol on a small label, Derby Records, that reached No. 26 on the Billboard chart. That led RCA Records to come calling with a recording contract.

She was a regular on Robert Q. Lewis' national daytime variety TV show and the nighttime game show "Stop the Music" hosted by Bert Parks.

In 1954, DownBeat magazine's annual DJ poll crowned her as the best new female singer of the year.

She took her nightclub act on the road and made her Las Vegas debut at the New Frontier Hotel & Casino.

Morgan even got her own TV show in 1956 — “The Jaye P. Morgan Show,” which featured four of her brothers. Her solo albums include “Jayé P. Morgan” — produced by David Foster — “Jayé P. Morgan Lately!” and a joint album with Kaye Ballard called “Long Time Friends.”

An appearance on “The Tonight Show” opened a career for her on television talk shows, and she kept returning to Johnny Carson for five years. “I take my body everywhere I go,” she joked to the host in a 1972 episode.

She also was a guest on "The Odd Couple," playing herself and singing their goofy song "Happy, Peppy and Bursting With Love."

During one memorable episode of “The Muppet Show,” Morgan appeared in a bird costume and seemed unhappy she was there at all. When Kermit tells her it’s a thrill to have her on, she replies: “I’m really indifferent about being here.” Kermit is aghast, calling the opening number cute. “I hate cute,” replies Morgan.

Other Morgan credits include a role in “Home Alone 2” with Macaulay Culkin, and appearances on “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” She also co-starred with Eddie Bracken in the national tour of “Sugar Babies.”

Married and divorced three times, Morgan is survived by a son, Paul Kane.

SAMUEL MONROE JR., 1973 – 2026

Known for roles in 'Menace II Society,' 'The Players Club'

Actor, who appeared in several '90s cult classics, had battled a meningitis infection.

BY ALEXANDRA DEL ROSARIO AND EMILY ST. MARTIN

Samuel Monroe Jr., the actor best known for appearing in '90s cult classic films including "Menace II Society," "Tales From the Hood" and "The Players Club," has died after more than a year of battling a meningitis infection. He was 52.

Monroe died Wednesday at Providence Saint Joseph in Burbank, the actor's wife, Shawna Stewart, confirmed in a Facebook announcement. The actor had been on life support since April. At the time, Stewart told Complex that Monroe contracted meningitis while filming in Las Vegas. She said her husband sought treatment at several hospitals and his condition was "repeatedly" misdiagnosed. "Because of this negligence, the meningitis went untreated for eight months," she told the outlet.

“Sam, the strength you had for those nine months that the hospital misdiagnosed you is unheard of and so strong-hearted of you. You definitely were a fighter,” Stewart said Thursday. “Your journey on this earth may have come to an end, but your light will continue to shine.”

Joyce Patton, Monroe's mother, also confirmed her son's death Wednesday evening. Patton wrote in a Facebook post that "God called him home" and thanked friends and family for their prayers and continued support amid her son's health battle. Patton announced her son's death hours after she previously said Wednesday that Monroe was undergoing a procedure and his condition was "not looking good."

Meningitis is an infection and swelling of the fluid and membranes around the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic. The inflammation from meningitis typically triggers symptoms such as headache, fever and a stiff neck. While viral infections are the most common cause in the United States, bacteria, parasites and fungi can also cause the condition. Stewart said in July that her husband "lost all ability to move any part of his body" and suffered seizures and swelling in his brain.

'A FIGHTER' Monroe made his acting debut in 1993 on the TV sitcom "Out All Night" starring Patti LaBelle.

Monroe's family also launched a GoFundMe campaign in April, seeking financial aid to support his family and his treatment. "We have faith and trust that God will carry him through this," the description for the fundraiser reads. The campaign has raised more than \$9,000 of its \$50,000 target as of Thursday morning. Monroe's stepdaughter Tayonna Stewart, who organized the fundraiser, also said in the description that funds will go toward a "proper and respectful celebration of life" in the wake of the actor's death.

Monroe, also known professionally as “Caffeine” and “Caffamilliano,” made his acting debut in 1993 opposite Patti LaBelle on the TV series “Out All Night.” The same year, he splashed onto the big screen, portraying Ilena’s cousin in “Menace II Society.”

He also acted in films "Tales From the Hood," "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," "What Goes Around Comes Around," "Set It Off" and "The Players Club." Most recently, he acted in 2023 films "Packz" and "Payment Received." His final project was the comedy "Extra'd Out," according to IMDb. The film's director, Zenda Wynn, paid tribute to the late star on Instagram.

“God I hope you have earmuffs,” Monroe’s wife continued in her post. “Sam will definitely be making you laugh and finding some way in heaven to beat on a wall to make new music in heaven.”

Monroe is survived by his mother; his wife; and his three children, Kingston, Milliano and Brooklynn.

Ridley Scott's new film is about world's end. He's far from done

[Director, from E1]

RIDLEY SCOTT has several projects in the works including a “Treasure Island” film and a Bee Gees biopic.

JACOB Elordi survives a flu that wipes out most of the populace in “Dog Stars.”

“Advertising in England at that point became a competitive art form,” he says, pointing to the notorious “Adland Five,” a group of directors that included Hugh Hudson, Adrian Lyne, Alan Parker, Scott and his brother Tony. “I’ve got a show reel which is 50 years old which would entertain the s—out you. Hasn’t aged at all. Our visual drive changed the face of how films looked.”

That's apparent in Scott's latest, "The Dog Stars," a film about survival after the end of the world. It's based on Peter Heller's 2012 novel and set in Colorado 10 years in the future after an aggressive flu has decimated much of the population. Those remaining alive use any means necessary to stay that way, resulting in instability, brutality and, more hopefully, connection.

It follows Hig (Jacob Elordi) and his dog Jasper, who have formed an odd-couple friendship with Bangley (Josh Brolin) at an isolated airstrip. Hig flies old Cessna planes into Denver for supplies and makes occasional deliveries to a local Mennonite community led by Aaron (Benedict Wong). After hearing a mysterious radio transmission, Hig becomes fixated on seeking more survivors and sets out on a mission that allies him with Cima (Margaret Qualley) and her father (Guy Pearce).

These days, Scott develops movies with his production company, Scott Free, which he founded with his late brother Tony in 1995. Before that he says he struggled to find good scripts. And rarely has someone handed one to him.

"I've only ever had three films land on my desk," he says. "One was 'Alien,' which I was fifth choice for after Robert Altman." He makes a face. "Can you imagine offering Robert Altman 'Alien'? How stupid can you get?"

Another was the 2015 space adventure “The Martian,” which Scott says had been sitting on a shelf for two years before it was sent to him. Scott’s grounded, semi-comedic take on Andy Weir’s novel resulted in seven Oscar nominations. The third screenplay to materialize was “The Dog Stars.” “I read it and I was blown away,” Scott says.

Scott's career has swept the breadth of genres. Although he established himself with futuristic films such as "Alien" and "Blade Runner," he showed a knack for emotional drama with 1991's "Thelma & Louise" and for historical epics such as 2000's "Gladiator." He's never settled into a particular genre and, perhaps due to that wide-ranging restlessness, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be awarding him an honorary Oscar in November.

Throughout his films, the director has always asked big questions: Who are we? What drives us? What pushes us to survive? It's the last query that reemerges in "The Dog Stars," although Scott says the postapocalyptic setting initially discouraged him.

“We don’t realize how this exact thing is happening in so many Third World countries right now,” he says. “There are no zombies in my film. I don’t want to make the film with a political agenda, but more or less what I was working around was the logistics of what’s actually happening in the world. And if you don’t watch out, it’ll be on your doorstep.”

Did he want the film to feel dire or hopeful?

"I think this film is hopeful," he says. He looks up at the camera. "Did you get that?"

I did, I tell him, but I'm worried we're not too far off from a decimated world.

“Me too,” he says. “My concern is I might live until I'm 105, so I better have enough rifles and weapons to defend the realm. I am concerned about my children's children because I think we are that close to passing the point of no return. Tornadoes and hurricanes where they shouldn't be. Global warming reaching three figures. What the f—is the matter with us?"

When the downfall of society occurs, though, Scott is of two minds. He isn't joking about the guns (“I can hit a can with a pistol down the length of a football field,” he says), but he's also interested in those who will prevail with kindness.

"There's always going to be a help group," he says. "I would join those who are there to survive and make things better and rein in the bad stuff."

He pauses, reflecting. “I think what’s happening in the world is people are afraid to make that choice because they’re not big enough to say ‘Stop.’ Politicians are big enough to say ‘Stop’ and to make adjustments. But if they do, they’re going to lose their job.” His voice goes dark as he considers what’s next. “They should have stopped it.”

Scott didn't finish "The Duellists" until he was nearly 40. "The Dog Stars" is his 30th movie and he's still going strong. At any given moment, Scott Free has more than 40 projects in development, although Scott says some of those eventually dissipate. He tries to limit his personal focus to four or five at a time, although he admittedly has a lot on the horizon.

“Treasure Island,” written by “Adolescence” screenwriter Jack Thorne and starring Hugh Jackman, will begin filming in November. He has an adaptation of John Harris’ World War I novel “Covenant With Death” upcoming. He’s interested in a script he was recently sent that’s set in Africa and is “about how we’re punishing the planet.” And he’s hopeful that his long-delayed Bee Gees biopic, set for production at Paramount, will go ahead.

“We wrote it,” Scott says. “I met with Barry [Gibb]. But right now I don’t know where we are with it. I hope it comes together and Barry does as well.” Also in the works is the third “Alien” prequel, which fans have been anticipating since “Alien: Covenant” was released in 2017. Scott says it will pick up with David (Michael Fassbender) creating a “brave new world for himself.” Scott is fascinated by the character, a malfunctioning AI.

“AIs can go off,” Scott says. “And if they do, it’s like a bomb.”

The director made several films about AI long before artificial intelligence was a concern in Hollywood. In the “Alien” series and in “Blade Runner,” robots look and act almost human. But Scott says he prefers to make films about AI rather than use it himself.

"The uneasy question is:

Can the AI only be as good as the information fed into it?" Scott says. "If I say, 'Here's a blank canvas, write me such and such,' would that just be a melange of millions of other scripts? Probably. But the danger is it'll pass that point and become smarter than we are."

So far, Scott says he hasn't implemented AI technologies into his filmmaking. He holds up his “Treasure Island” Ridleygrams and shakes them at the camera. “I can compete with an AI without any problem making images,” he says. “But it's coming, inevitably.”

Scott was not involved in the forthcoming Prime Video series “Blade Runner 2099,” out in November. “I can’t blame my lawyers and my agents at that time, but somehow we let ‘Blade Runner’ go,” he says. “And when you’re not the author of the actual written word, you don’t have a piece.” (He was more involved in Noah Hawley’s recent “Alien: Earth” series, which he calls “pretty damn good.”)

As a filmmaker, Scott has gaps to fill. He wants to make a western. He's also interested in directing a musical in the vein of Bob Fosse.

"I like ‘Cabaret’ because you have a musical built into a political agenda," Scott says. "And right now, I'm thinking about turning one of [my past] films into a musical. I can't tell you which one because they're being difficult."

He grins. “So you can agonize over that. I wouldn’t dare say which one.” (Scott is presumably not talking about “Thelma & Louise: A New Musical,” which will premiere at London’s New Vic on Thursday.)

Scott interjects stories from his career throughout our conversation, reflecting as far back as his first short film, “Boy and Bicycle,” which he made with his brother in 1965. But he says he doesn’t think about the recurring themes in his work.

"I don't go that deep," he says, brushing it aside when asked whether there are certain questions he's trying to answer about being human. He quickly reconsiders. "Instinctually, maybe I do. I don't know. I don't question it. I don't dwell on it."

He also doesn't care what people think about his films. He tells the now-infamous story about the New Yorker critic Pauline Kael panning "Blade Runner" in a four-page review.

“What I learned from that is you can only be your own critic,” he says. “Honestly, I think all my films are pretty good. I’ve got two in the Library of Congress. I’ve got three commercials in the Museum of Modern Art. So I’m doing fine.”

Does that mean he thinks about his legacy as a filmmaker? He does, but not often.

"When you think of your legacy, you're too near the end," Scott says. "I'm not near the end."

He looks up from his drawings. “I’ve had a riotous time,” he says. He corrects himself: “I’m having a riotous time.”

A jump-scare thriller is haunted by many forces

"THE WHISPER MAN'S" Tom (Adam Scott) and son Jake (Acston Luca Porto) have lost a wife and mom and move to the town where she and Tom grew up.
DAVID LEE Netflix

['Whisper,' from E1] and Michael Keaton.

In the race to replace the notion of “TV movie” with streaming-only films that could, in another era, compete at the box office, “The Whisper Man” is as good as it gets. While it does not achieve the depth or brilliance of its obvious influences — “The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Sixth Sense”

— it is a twisty and very welcome reminder of an age when psychological adrenaline-thumpers like “Kiss the Girls” and “The Bone Collector” drew crowds to the cineplex.

Directed by James Ashcroft and written by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer, "The Whisper Man" has been moved from the U.K. to the U.S., and opens with an overhead shot of an autumn woodland in New Jersey. The day is drear, the music ominous — and with good reason. Within the trees, Det. Amanda Beck (Monaghan) is overseeing the search for a missing boy only to find the corpse of another.

Unaware of this sinister preamble, Tom Kennedy (Scott) is moving into the area with his young son, Jake (Acston Luca Porto). They have sorrows of their own — a wife and mother recently lost to cancer — and have decided to start fresh in the town where she and Tom grew up. If their new Craftsman-style house seems over-large for two, with plenty of shelter-mag built-ins, well, Tom is a successful crime novelist and there's also a leaky attic and a creepy, warrenlike basement to be dealt with.

Tom, a loving but overwhelmed father, is clearly going for some vision of small-town homey, a place to nurse his own pain while figuring out how to single-parent the quiet, creative Jake, who fears stairs and regularly chats with an imaginary friend known as the girl in the blue sweater.

Who is, according to Jake, not as thrilled with the house as they are.

While Jake copes with a new school and Tom unpacks, Amanda continues her investigation only to realize that the dead and missing boys bear certain hallmarks of “the Whisper Man”

— a serial killer who abducted and killed five boys 20 years ago and remains so well-known that she can still repeat the very sinister little poem associated with him.

The obvious next step is reaching out to the now-retired detective who put the Whisper Man in jail — back then, Det. Inspector Pete Willis (De Niro) had theorized an accomplice. Now he's not so sure, and though still clearly haunted by the original case (and continuing to search for the body of a fifth missing boy), Pete insists that there's nothing he can do to help Amanda.

Until Jake is taken. Things have not been going well in the new place — a squatter has apparently been living in the basement, and Jake's habit of murmuring to his imaginary friend leads Tom to ignore a truly terrifying incident that would have led any other parent to call the police. So when he discovers Jake is missing, Tom feels guilty as well as frantic. In desperation, he reveals that Pete is, in fact, his estranged father and, in a moving reunion/ confrontation, he demands that Pete help find the boy: "You were a s—father but a really good detective."

As a terrified, grieving and furious father trying to control an uncontrollable situation, Scott is on fire here, and De Niro, who can convey emotional volumes with a raised palm and a tightly closed mouth, gives him plenty of room to work. Wary and watchful, Pete wants to reconnect with his son, but he has carried his own grief and fury for so long that they have become more shield than catalyst. But with unfinished business as both a detective and a father, he joins Amanda and his son in a race to find Jake.

Even if it means Pete must once again engage with the incarcerated Whisper Man.

"The Whisper Man" leans heavily on the twists and turns of its propulsive and menacing plot, which occasionally creaks like stairs to that creepy basement. A narratively helpful subplot involving a murdererabilia collector (played with fine flourish by Hamish Linklater) strains credulity (though it does offers slyly self-aware commentary on our fascination with grisly murders) and, more problematic, Monaghan's Amanda is given little to do beyond being a determined cop.

Even so, the larger emotional arc of family ties, with all their tragedy and imperfection, lifts “Whisper Man” from the typical confines of serial-killer drama.

Eschewing big expositional monologues (or, thank heaven, flashbacks), Jacoby and Palmer allude to rather than lay out the details of Tom and Pete's estrangement, the horrors of the original Whisper Man case and the origins of Jake's imaginary friend, who is visible only to Jake and the audience. And in the hands of these performers, less is very much more.

As the adults scramble to beat a ticking clock, two things become clear: The exact nature of love and loss is often open to interpretation and is far less important than their impact on what is happening right now.

BRIDGE

By Frank Stewart

Cy the Cynic got on a drugstore scale and a voice said, "One at a time, please."

“Take better care of yourself,” I pleaded. “Think of your body as a temple.”

"It's more an amusement-park fun house," the Cynic said.

Cy was unamused after today's deal. He was North. At four spades South took the king of hearts and led the king of trumps, winning. East won the next trump and led another heart, and South lost a trick in each suit. South needs two diamond tricks, so two dummy entries to lead toward his queen and to take the ace. At Trick Two South leads the eight of trumps to dummy's nine.

ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: We recently hosted a relative and his wife for a few days.

They are longtime friends and their children are our children's contemporaries.

During their visit, the wife talked incessantly, sharing stories about their family members in great detail. In our efforts to reciprocate with some updates about our family, the wife would interject within a sentence or two of our contribution to hijack the conversation back to talking about her family.

These folks are good-natured and well-intentioned but don't seem to have a clue as to how their conduct left us exhausted and feeling ignored.

There was absolutely no interest or curiosity in what we might be doing, thinking or experiencing.

We welcome your advice as to how or whether to say something or just let it go and limit future contacts.

So Disappointed

Dear Disappointed: Try to split the difference. A conversation about what went wrong may not get you far, since none of you can go back and redo the visit.

But you don't have to just let it or the friendship go or limit your time with them, if you don't really want to. The next time they want to visit, suggest a different way of

If East ducks, dummy leads a diamond. East takes the king and leads a second heart. South wins, unblocks his queen of diamonds and leads the seven of trumps: six, 10, ace. The defense cashes a heart, but South wins a club shift, leads his three of trumps to the four and pitches his club loser on the ace of diamonds.

You hold: ♠ A 5 ♥ 9 7 3 ♦ K 9 5 4 ♣ Q 9 6 2. Your partner opens one diamond, you raise to two diamonds and he next bids two hearts. What do you say?

Answer: Partner thinks you may have a game; he is looking for the best spot. Since you have a maximum hand for your single raise, you must not only cooperate but make sure game is reached. Bid three clubs. If partner bids 3NT next, fine;

interacting.

You can even mention that the last time they came, you got a lot of great updates about their family and their lives, but that you'd love to be able to share back and forth more.

This problem may be an issue of the relatives being overeager or proud or not having conversational skills that align well with yours. It may be useful, then, to set yourselves up for success with talking prompts, like a get-to-know you card game, or even a more structured conversation during which you agree that each person will get to speak in turn.

It's also fine to say, in the midst of conversation, "I'm getting information overload. Can we pause for a second?"

Dear Eric: Donation etiquette triggered a pet peeve of mine and perhaps you have a solution. My wife and I make it a habit to do the bulk of our donations in December as I'm sure others do.

We give a nice donation to a dozen or more what I call “mail-in charities” that solicit us by mail.

The problem is for the next year on a daily basis I am dealing with a full mailbox of these same organizations asking for more money. I'm sure some are spending more than we gave in December. How do I give once a if he returns to three diamonds, bid three spades or 3NT.

year and stop the never-ending request for more?

If nothing else, it helps the post office.

Don't Ask

Dear Ask: A simple solution may be to make a one-time call to these so-called "mail-in charities."

Request that you be connected to their donations office, noting that you're a current donor. Once connected, explain that you are happy to continue giving but that you need to be removed from their mailing list.

You may want to ask how soon you can expect the change to go into effect and if they share their list with any other charities. It's possible that your name may have ended up on other organizations' solicitation lists and so you might have to call them too. Ask if you can expect the change to be permanent or if you'll need to call every year.

Ideally, these organizations use a donor management system that has an easy “do not mail” function and they can quickly comply. This isn’t an unusual request; they have to go through the same process when a donor moves or passes away. But they’ll surely be grateful to know that you still intend to contribute.

A tough job following Dudamel at the Bowl

[Bowl, from E1] [2013, From 12] conductor-in-residence this fall, with the trickiest conducting assignment of the summer anywhere. At 30 and a former Dudamel fellow, she represents a generation shift for an orchestra that seeks eternal youth. The orchestra was said to have fallen for her when she made her Bowl debut last summer.

DAYS AFTER Gustavo Dudamel's four-night Hollywood Bowl farewell, a sparsely filled amphitheater becomes the stage for conductor Anna Handler's night with the L.A. Philharmonic, which played Beethoven.
ARIANA DREHSLER For The Times

Even so, Tuesday she faced an orchestra that had just returned a week earlier from a grueling U.K. tour with Dudamel before jumping into the emotional and grueling farewell Bowl extravaganza.

That began with a performance of Beethoven's Ninth that was a highlight of Dudamel's 17-year L.A. Phil tenure and instantly part of Bowllore.

How much juice could the orchestra have left? The video monitors showed many substitute players. On the other hand, this was also an opportunity for the L.A. Phil to celebrate itself. Along with an atmospheric five-minute opener by a young British composer, Grace-Evangeline Mason, the program combined two major middle-period Beethoven scores — his famous Fifth Symphony and his Triple Concerto, with a trio of L.A. Phil principal players.

Handler's reputation thus far is as a musician of her time, fascinated by artificial intelligence and all else of her era.

This fall she starts as music director of the Ulster Orchestra, bringing innovation to techy Ireland. At the other extreme, she becomes artist-in-residence of the Beethoven-Haus Bonn, where she will serve as pianist, conductor and curator in Beethoven's birthplace. Keeping Beethoven lively will be her mission as Bonn and the world mark the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death in 2027.

However, reinventing Beethoven at the Bowl, doing so following Dudamel and with little rehearsal time, could easily become a fool's errand. Handler, instead, went for stability. The Triple Concerto, for instance, is full of obstacles. Often star soloists are employed, each exhibiting ego and leaving the conductor as ringmaster.

This time, though, Bing Wang (associate concertmaster), Robert deMaine

(principal cello) and Joanne Pearce Martin (the orchestra's pianist) have long been playing together in the orchestra, as well as in chamber music settings. Individually, they are stylists with distinct musical personalities, but they are exceptionally practiced in fitting in not only with each other but also with the orchestra at large. Together they gave the concerto a sense of unity that is rare, albeit with fewer fireworks. Handler appeared to defer to the soloists, while the trio looked to encourage her. Beethoven sans ego, in almost any setting, is a marvel.

Handler's Fifth was also straightforward. She relied on the advantages of a modern orchestra rather than sampling the fashionable music-history approach. Hers is a big, blended sound.

The video cameras caught her smiling happily simply letting Beethoven be. It was old-school, but not parochial, Beethoven, which proved refreshing on a warm night. The new amplification was her friend.

Mason introduced from the stage her “Ablaze the Moon,” written in 2023 when she was 29, as a kind of song without words, although written to the words of early 20th century American poet Sara Teasdale’s “Tonight.” The score follows the text in conjuring through glittery orchestral writing the golden moon (ours wasn’t quite yet full) and our eternal twinkling celestial space. It was a nice invitation to settle in for alfresco Beethoven.

When Handler returns to the L.A. Phil at Walt Disney Concert Hall in March, it will be to give the West Coast premiere of Philip Glass' Symphony No. 15 ("Lincoln"), the one that made news when the composer withdrew it from a National Symphony Semiquincentennial commission, because he feared the Kennedy Center had lost touch with Lincoln.

In May, Handler will lead the West Coast premiere of John Williams' new Piano Concerto written for, and performed by, Emanuel Ax. She will also act as pianist and curator in a special L.A. Phil all-Beethoven chamber music concert on March 14, a dozen days before the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death.

Handler may already have become indispensable.

Director looks back on the good feelings of 'Boyhood' days

[Linklater, from E1] comes time itself, as the cast ages and grows across the course of the story.

Recently, the film had a 12th-anniversary screening in Austin, Texas, with the filmmaker, Coltrane, Hawke and Arquette all present. In L.A., the American Cinematheque gave Linklater a tribute over the weekend with screenings of "Boyhood" and 2001's animated "Waking Life" at the Aero and 1993's "Dazed and Confused" at the Directors Village in Westwood, all with the filmmaker in person. "Boyhood" is also getting a theatrical release in select art house theaters around the country, including the Alamo Drafthouse chain on Sept. 7.

From his farm outside Bastrop, Texas, Linklater, 66, recently got on a video call to reflect on the time-consuming yet rewarding project that now stretches back nearly 25 years.

You seem like someone who's focused on looking forward and what comes next. So when it comes to rereleases and reunions, like with "Boyhood" or "Dazed and Confused," what is it like being asked to look back?

It's really the only time I do. And I'm kind of grateful because I don't look back. What resonates with me in my mind is the experience of making the movie more than the movie itself — all the people you worked with and the cast and all those good feelings. So it's fun to be back with the people you went through that journey with. That seems about right to check it out. But if you go in my office, you won't find a poster. There are no reminders of anything I've done. I just want to be always thinking forward. We had this screening here in Austin of "Boyhood," and it was intense. I had never quite experienced something like that.

The conceit of the movie, that you took 12 years to make it, became largely what the movie was about: time and growth and what happens to people as they get older. Was that always the impulse?

It was always on a grid to me. We're on the educational grid: What's your life, from first grade to 12th grade? 12 years, they own you, that system. You're in

the public education school system. And at the end of that is some adult freedom. You can go to college, you can get a job, you can do whatever you're going to do. But for now, we got you. So I just call it the maturation process of being an American kid growing up. That's what I was trying to capture. And that's what I couldn't do in a regular film.

It wasn't like: Oh, we'll see him at age 6 and then again at 12 and then again at 18. It was like, no, I want to capture all of it. But you can't ask a 7-year-old, "OK, now you're 12 in this scene and you got a girlfriend." There's this huge physical limitation. So that's what made me think I couldn't make the movie and that's what facilitated this idea. It was good news and bad news. I could tell my story of those years, but it was going to take 12 years.

And you're doing this process again with "Merrily We Roll Along," an adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical that covers 20 years.

Tempting fate probably more on the actuarial table. I've got to say, it's really different, but what we learned from "Boyhood" really informs it, for sure. I know what to expect on a lot of practical levels. "Merrily" is an adaptation — we know the story, we have the music. It has a firmer spine. We're using the same properties but I'm not confused as to what certain things will be about. It's got a stronger road map. We're definitely adapting it, but it's just different.

In making “Boyhood,” watching the kids grow up is more obvious, but with Ethan and Patricia, you’re watching them physically change, but also grow as actors in that time too. Their final scenes, full of reflections and regrets — they probably couldn’t have done them quite the same 12 years earlier.

Absolutely not. That's why when people [say], "Well, why don't you just age them?" it's like, "No, you're missing the point." That's superficial. The point is a performer actually having lived those years and earned those feelings and every year we can look at each other and go, "Oh, let's take it from where we are

"I'M GLAD to see cinema holding its own within the bigger struggle for what people think is worthy of their time," says filmmaker Richard Linklater.

right now." "Boyhood" wasn't really our first title. We were calling the movie "12 Years" for a long time and it definitely is the perspective of Mason Jr. that's the primary perspective of the movie. But I always thought of it as kind of a portrait of parenthood, bumbling through parenting. It could have been called "Parenthood," but that title was taken. There was a funny moment when Ethan was watching it, let's say year eight or 10, I might show him sections of the thing. And he was looking at it going, "Wow, they're growing up — we're aging."

There has been a boost of energy around going to the movies. As a longtime keeper of the flame for cinema, what does this moment feel like to you?

You can't help but analyze the roller-coaster ride we're all on: the art form we love within an industry that it necessitates. Just even at the Film Society in Austin — we have a two-screen theater and we're adding a third screen that'll be open very soon. Just how many young people are in our theater? I started noticing this post-pandemic: The audience that came back was really strong and it was young.

Just when people thought, “Oh, these kids brought up on social media, TikToks, they’re glued to their phones.” But I think it’s really kind of attached the idea of the movie theater, the life of a cinephile, movies not only as a social thing to do with your friends but to talk about and be excited about with Letterboxd, Criterion. It’s fun to feel that kind of flourishing. That said, it’s no easier now. It’s still difficult to get films made or seen in theaters. It’s tough out there.

I recently interviewed Gregg Araki and he said it's always been hard.

People look back and they go, “Oh, what was it like to be in the '90s?” I was like, “All Gregg and I did was bitch about how much trouble we had getting all these films made.” But film has been existentially threatened probably since its very beginning. There’s always something, anytime you have an industry that’s dependent on a technological element and there’s competition for people’s attention. Everybody’s kind of fighting that fight. But I’m glad to see cinema holding its own within the bigger struggle for what people think is worthy of their time.

I'm glad people prove they can sit through a movie. Because you were hearing for a while from teachers with film students who couldn't sit through a movie. I don't know if that's gotten better or maybe it was overstated. I'm trying not to be some Pollyanna here, but I've always kind of thought film would endure.
