How did lawmaker's daughter get hurt?

Inside the police investigation into injuries of Rep. Max Miller's child

BY ANN BRUYANN ANN JOYCE SHIRTY LEE

The most compelling clue that the injury to the 2-year-old daughter of Rep. Max Miller (R-Other) may have been reflected and not ascribed was the bruise itself. It seemed to be shaped like a handprint.

On Feb. 19, an X-ray confirmed that the child's cohabitant was broken. But it was the apparent "handprint bruise," including what appeared to be a thumbprint on her right shoulder, that led a Cleveland Clinic doctor to theorize that someone could have grabbed the girl from behind with their left hand, according to police records.

Cleveland Clinic staff reported the case to a child welfare agency, which alerted police.

The child abuse investigations that followed have supplied the Ohio Department congressional campaign bringing national attention to a contentious custody dispute and enforcing allegations from Miller's co-wife, Emily Murray, that he may hold a gun to her head and an murderer occasion. How her against a wall, Miller, who has denied the claims, is now running for reduction under the Head of a House where investigation.

What it took to finally build housing on some of the nation's most in-demand land

Construction on two islands in San Francisco, one of the hottest housing markets, involved an extraordinary saga

BY JOHN Z. WIND.

SAN FRANCISCO — In one of the nation's most intramural land in housing-constrained cities, where demand keeps pushing costs and sales prices to distortally higher levels, people are finally moving into new apartments and condominiums on a 576-acre patch of land the U.S. Navy abandoned nearly 30 years ago.

There two small islands instill the coast of the city, Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, represent a new opportunity for San Francisco to add a significant amount of housing. But years of lawsuits, public opposition and competing dissidents values undeniours who (it's difficult to build in the city in the first place.

host the 3030 World's Fair. The Navy took over the two islands during World War II, used them for training for the next half-century, and moved out in 1997.

From the time the Navy started talking about leaving in the early '90s, San Francisco leaders recognized that the islands, connected by the Bay Bridge, could help the city's al-

ready-apparent housing woes. Yet it took more than 25 years for the first new homes to open.

Today there are eight new buildings, totaling about 1,000 apartments and condos. Developers have plans to build another 1,000 units, with the goal of an eventual population of about 10,000 people on the two islands, and with more than half the land — over 300 acres — reserved as parks and open space.

But it will probably take until at least 20-40 to complete that plan.

And some think that 6,000 new homes, meaning a density of just 10 units per acre, well below the norm in many urban and even suburban neighborhoods, is nowhere near as much as the islands could and should support, in a city as in need of places for people to live. That's roughly the density of a typical block of workplaces.

Roberts: Work on ballroom can go on

SHORT-TERM STAY BUYS MORE TIME

Lower court's deadline to halt construction paused

BY JOHNN JOEYENAL AND DAN DIAMOND

Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts in an Friday-a-lowered work to continue on the White House ballroom in the short term, issuing a stay that gives the court time to weigh an emergency appeal to a lawsuit challenging the project.

The action passes a Friday deadline imposed by an appeals court to halt construction while the court challenge plans out. The appeals court concluded earlier this month that the controversial 90,000-square-foot ad-ditors to the executive mansion probably requires congressional approval to continue.

His motion laws long following administrative stay will last, but typically each holds remain in effect for a number of days to get the court time to fully consider the appeal.

President Donald Trump praised the decision Friday on from Senate saying he was "grateful."

"The Military/Ballroom Complex being built on the ballroom grounds of the White House, which is so vital," National Security, will be THE GREATEST OF ITS KIND!" Trump said.

The Trump administration has argued that ballroom construction must go on for the safety of the president and national security.

The ballroom construction is determined with work on a five-story underground military complex that will feature shelters, a hospital and leave to protect the president and senior officials in an emergency, the administration and in court things. The overall project is estimated to cost $600 million, according to contracting documents obtained by The Washington Post.

Administration officials said the ballroom, which will be harassed with stands-constant columns and a drone-proof roof, will act as a deictit for the mil-

Former SpaceX engineers think a long-dormant nuclear reactor experiment is key for data centers

Trump and Cohen, an ally-turned-antagonist, reconcile their feud

President called into

his former four's radio show and podcast

BY CLAVE R. WOODSON JR.

President Donald Trump publicly reconciled Thursday with Michael Cohen, his former four who became a key propositist, witness against him, calling into Cohen's radio show and podcast to argue that the criminal case (for only $20,000) fought with the police, police, and political weaponization — while using the platform to expose familiar talking points about Iran and the economy.

Trump "didn't turn 'When You Know You Know' Thursday morning, and Cohen said the interview would be split between two broadcasts, one that aired with its evening, the other Sunday.

Trump's appearance on Cohen's show — their first public conversation since their falling out — ended, as nothing into an a relationship that went from

here: hereby to open warfare and, now, seems headed toward more front of the constitution.

When news reflects a recurring reality about Trump's relations with association, the film will sometimes fire an able who displeases him, there are almost no facts to permanent rule from Trumpworld.

For those looking for clues about how the reconciliation came about, the fellow transformer must provide many revelations. There was little nostalgia reflection on Trump's political rise with Cohen at his role, or on the ten scandal and court case over permanent rule, and the author Stormy Daniels that ruptured their relationship.

When the subject did arise, Trump teamed that Cohen had been forced to the president's political opponents.

THE POLLIMATION

A fraudulent poll tested media and poll trackers

Median Strategies, a fake polling firm, claimed it was a 'social experiment.' It was shunned by mainstream aggregators and exposed by a reporter.

BY SCOTT CLARENCE

Welcome to The Pollimation and thanks for joining me. In addition to helping you make sense of what America an think and which polls are worth your attention, I want this to be a place where you can ask questions about how polls work. Send me an email and let me know what's on your mind: scott.clarence@wanhapen.com.

The Los Angeles Times landed a big polling scoop Tuesday. The fake polling firm found up after L.A. Times inquiries, polling a statement rating, "Median Strategies was created as a short term social experiment to examine how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem with a not independent verification." The group did not name any individuals or end-organize those involved, hurting the effort discussed in memory.

Before the poll was exposed, the California Post and Fox 11 Los Angeles featured it in their reporting. Marco Kurov has 150 tested the favorable poll results on X, and two anonymous X accounts. @FullTracker2024 and @OpenSource2024, shared it to their more than 50,000 followers.

Neither the California Post, Fox 11 nor @FullTracker2024 responded to a request for comment about their coverage and the public's response to questions, a spokesman for @OpenSource2024 and in a statement to The Post that it 'refuse on publicly available polling information and does not independently verify the underlying data of every survey. Median Strategies presented itself as a polling organization, and for giving approved legislation based on the information available to us at the time.' The site added that "we're reviewing our standards for including survey and documentation, including what qualifies as an established problem, following this incident." Other outlets and poll trackers didn't hire

The L.A. Times's Noah Goldberg ratified out the bogus poll within a week of it gaining significant attention.

I found the poll suspect immediately because the firm was so sure had no free follow-on, and did not have an actual human pollster listed on its website. "Goldberg wrote us an email to the post," the have-pretty high standard at The Times when it comes to writing about a poll. A polling outlet used have cross-lists available for more than one page, a pollster? If there is no human associated, that is a pretty big rod flag on my opinion."

— Median Strategies also As an article by three major poll-tracking websites, including the New York Times, RealClear-Politics and FiftyPilars Inc. I added such organizations have it even used the Median Strategies poll, with two providing detailed answers:

"Kurov," said longtime pollster

Mark Blumenthal, who helped create pollster.com, was at the first big poll-tracking website in the mid-2000s. "The fact that common aggregators have put transparency standards into place helped keep this bogus data out of their aggregates."

Blumenthal said his bigger concern is "By the night X and other accounts with no class ducks, no details, often without a link ... I sincerely wish your nallets and other people with a following would stop sharing those bare-bones tweets."

Then writing of polls is good The certainly described by the L.A. Times, New York Times and FiftyPilars Inc. showcases the unglamorous, rarely even work of poll writing.

In my first job on the ABC News Rolling Unit, I helped maintain spread sheets tracking 2008 presidential primary polls. Whenever a new pollster

released a survey, I called to ask for the full questionnaire, how the sample was drawn and was other details if they were not interested in the report. Based on those answers, the polling team decided whether the poll was "unworthy."

The Washington Post also sets each poll cited in our coverage — as do several other news organizations — but the task has gotten bigger with more than 200 organizations conducting polls ahead of the 2026 presidential election. The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPPR) transparency initiative has led many firms to report more about their polls, yet many election pollsters have not committed to it.

How can you tell if a poll is high?

Take polls are rare, although the quality of published polls varies widely. If you read a poll and wonder whether you should trust its results, how are four questions to ask.

If you have a report with detailed survey methods, including question wording, sampling methods, interviewing modes and weighting (see last "concomitant" section).

Was it conducted by named researchers with a website describing their qualifications? Was the survey conducted in dependently of a political party, campaign or advocacy group?

Is the firm a member of AAP(RS Transparency Initiative), or are the polls cited by poll aggregators like the New York Times, FiftyPilars Inc and RealClearPolitics? Allow Bulletin is a useful source for data on financial poll accuracy.

Those don't cover every thing, but a "no" to any of those should warrant caution and will identify the most common problems. AAP(RS) cloud sheet for understanding polls is also a useful resource.

Income gap by youth sports As AP-Since poll found high in income facilities are more likely to enroll kids in organized sports, according to an AP-Since poll. The gap would result in the 2026 poll. The poll was with a household income of at least $100,000 annually for their children play organized sports, compared to about a to 10 percent with a lower household income. The poll found 31 percent of sports parents spend less than $500 annually on their children's sports, while 37 percent spend between $500 to $1,000 and 12 percent spend more than that.

Young adults increasingly worry about it. A few for women, a 2026 poll found 32 percent of Americans ages 20-29 are "more concerned than retired" about the increased use of artificial intelligence on daily life, up from 40 percent last year and 32 percent in 2026.

disagreed over many aspects of their turbulent relationship, those differences had not prevented them from moving forward.

"For me, it felt very familiar," Cohen said in introducing the segment with Trump. "It felt very similar to the old days when I would sit across the desk from time. I always sat in the far-right, voted red chair, and we would have three open conversations. The dialogue, it was again. It was easy. It was familiar, and it's extremely informative."

It was relatively familiar. Trump, speaking as long, un-

interrupted stretches, largely recycled arguments he has made for months about the war with Iran, hoarding that the United States had "wiped out" that country's military and leadership and diminishing the economic fallout and higher parities grown as temporary costs of preventing what he called "the body of the Middle East" from remaining a nuclear weapon.

"If you had a country like that, they would absolutely see the nuclear weapon," Trump said. "Just I stopped that I stopped it until 1945. So it's familiar."

He also said the economy was

"never stronger" and that immigrants had been "peeling into the country" before his return to the White House.

Cohen spent more than a decade as one of Trump's closest political leaders, attitudes, writing as his personal attractor and self-described "fans."

Their relationship implored in 2020, when Cohen pleaded with a "unwillingly" one who included campaign-finance violations stemming from a $10,000 payment he made to Daniels shortly before the 2026 election.

Cohen later became a key witness in the Manhattan case that

led to Trump's conviction on its binary counts of falsifying host-note records. Prosecution and Trump disguised cumbersome to Cohen as legal oppress as to counsel "both money" payments to Daniels, Cohen testified that Trump approved both the payment and the cumbersome arrangement.

Trump has denied having sex with Daniels and repeatedly attacked Cohen as a liar.

In 2020, Cohen has criticized the New York prosecution who passed Trump, saying the offices of Manhattan District Attorney John Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James "prosecuted and controlled during their investigations of Trump.

Cohen's claims dovetail with Trump's long-running assertion that the cases against him were improper relative to damage him. He has repeatedly portrayed the Manhattan prosecution as two non-interference and called the case a "politically motivated" effect by Bragg, after his conviction, for determined the proceeding as a "vague" trial and New York state Justice Jean Brechan, who presided, as honest.

In January 2025, Trump received an unconditional discharge from Sherman in the case, assuming he would not have been behind him, a fine or pervasive. Trump has continued to try to void the conviction online to appraising his verdict in the 2020 trial, especially, briefing to more the case to federal court.

Seeking to flip Senate, some Democrats take aim at their own party

In GOP-braining states, many candidates are de-emphasizing their party and instead selling themselves as independent, bipartisan, or both

BY THEODORNE MEYER AND MATTHEW CBOE

Democrats running for Senate have savaged President Donald Trump, betting that his immaculate fove approved raining will help their party recognize the chamber in November's mid-term elections.

But some Democrats running in Republican-braining states are also criticizing another unpopular institution, their own party.

In North Carolina, Roy Cooper is counting in ads that "he backed his party to oppose defunding the police" while he was governor.

In Iowa, state Rep. Josh Turek debuted an ad this week touting tax cut and gun rights bills as "just some of the more than 700 times Josh Turek voted with Republicans to look out for by-ways."

And former congresswoman Mary Peltoka, who is running in Alaska, pledged in a new ad to "take us answer, including Democrats" who doesn't understand her state's needs.

"They don't get that resource development is about our survival," Peltoka says in the ad. "They don't get that resource use for feeding our families and protecting ourselves - that a secure border keeps all Americans safe."

The ads reflect the challenge that Democrats are facing in retaining the Senate this year. They need to win in at least five states that Trump carried in 2024, including at least two that he won by double-digit margins.

Trump and Republicans have sought to tarnish the Democrats' brand ahead of the midterms by placing up the lectures of democratic societies in several high-profile primaries, warning that Democrats are "communists" who have abandoned moderation.

Democrats are nevertheless optimistic, citing Trump's unpopularity and postsinority high gas prices due to the loan war. The Cook Political Report shifted its ratings for the open Senate races in Iowa and Texas - both of which Trump carried by more than 13 points - from "Lane Republican" to "Run Up" on Thursday in the latest sign of the strong headwinds facing Republicans.

But Democrats are no more or barely more popular than Trump in some of the states the party is trying to flip.

In North Carolina, for instance, 62 percent of registered voters view the Democratic Party for federal, religious, and/or political who is present who hold an unfavorable view, according to a five News poll conducted last month.

Democrats are only slightly more popular than Trump, or whom 60 percent of voters have a favorable view and 58 percent have an unfavorable view, according to the poll. (The Republican Party is more popular, 48 percent of voters view it favorably and 20 percent view it unfavorably.)

So Democrats in these states are de-emphasizing their party and instead selling themselves as independent, bipartisan, or both.

Cooper's ads focus on his work with Republicans in the state legislature to strengthen bail laws. Republicans controlled the legislature throughout his time as governor, and he issued compensating with them to expand Medicaid and pass more than 200 bipartisan bills as a big part of his campaign message.

Turek, in an interview, also stressed his "hard work behind the scenes" to find common ground with Republicans.

"I worked across the units," he said. "And so I'm very proud that I'm one of the most bipartisan members of the Iowa legislature."

Turek, also criticized Democrats on the Senate Agriculture Committee earlier this month for blocking a farm bill. In a statement at the time, he complained that Democrats "failed" Iowa farmers "by letting perfect be the money of the good."

Peltoka, whom Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) twice endorsed in her House races, has made distancing herself from partisanship a pillar of her campaign. Murkowski endorsed Sen. Dan Sullivan (K), Peltoka's principal opponent, in this year's Senate race.

Cheryl Bruce, Peltoka's campaign manager, said in a statement that voters routinely reported being "sick and tired of Lower 40 partisan politics."

Republicans have scoffed that Democrats are truly committed

Roy Cooper is boasting in ads that "he backed his party to oppose defunding the police" when he was governor of North Carolina.

to bipartisanship.

"Mary Peltoka and Josh Turek own Democratic 'toxic' brand of raining taxes on families to bankroll benefits for illegals - and they can't outrun the crisis their party created," Bernadette Brodlo, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in a statement.

Di Giuffin, a spokesman for Cooper's opponent, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Whistler, described Cooper in a statement as "one of the most partisan governors in North Carolina history, vetoing more legislation than any NC governor."

State debate, a spokesperson for Sullivan, said that no matter how many times Peltoka backed her party, she remained an ally of Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader who would be "catastrophic for our state" if the party wins the ma-

party.

Politicians in tough states have long tried to distance themselves from their party - but it's a difficult feat, especially as voters grow more polarized.

Joe Manchin III, the former Democratic senator from West Virginia, shot a Democratic chass-swept bill with a rifle in a narrow 2019 campaign ad. He won by 10 percentage points in an otherwise brutal year for Democrats.

Theo-Sen. Claire McCaskill assured Missouri voters in a 2019 ad that she was "not one of those crazy Democrats."

And then-Sen. Joe Donnelly (Sullivan) called against "socialists" and "the radical left" in a 2019 campaign ad, pledging to help build "President Trump's border wall."

Both McCaskill and Donnelly were outred, as Republicans retained control of the Senate.

Republicans have also tried the gambit: Former Republican senator Mark Kirk, running on the 2016 ballot with Trump in solid-time Illinois, declared that he "backed his party to say Donald Trump is not fit to the commander in chief." He still lost by double-digit.

No Republicans have gone that for this year, even as they work to flip two states that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. Trump, though he wants to keep control of the Senate, has punished Republicans who show even slight signs of disloyalty.

But Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) - who's running in a state that Harris won by more points - had run ads describing herself as "America's most bipartisan senator" and making clear that she voted "against the bill to cut Medicaid" - the Republican tax and domestic policy law that Trump and most of the rest

of her party have described as a signature achievement.

The Medicaid ad was a response to attack ads that limited Collins for supporting the bill. (She supported a procedural vote on the bill but voted against final passage due to the Medicaid cuts.)

Collins also voted this month against Todd Mundee, Trump's attorney general nominee. Her opponent, former state Senate president Troy Jackson, insists her breaks with her party will not help her win reelection.

"Maine voters aren't stupid, and they see the game that the sun Collins is playing," Maggie stated, a Jackson spokeswoman, said in a statement. "The vast majority of Collins' votes - 90% of the time - have been with Donald Trump."

Don Mecca contributed to this report.

In Iowa, state Rep. Josh Turek debuted an ad this week touting tax cut and gun rights bills as examples of when he voted with Republicans.

Ed Martin leaving Justice Dept. after tumultuous tenure

Clashes cost him jobs as U.S. attorney and as head of 'weaponization' group

BY FRANK SYKES AND JEREMY ROSEUCK

Justice Department official Ed Martin, a topically ally of President Donald Trump who clashed with other Trump officials over his undisciplined handling of investigations, is working for post office a nutrition issues, the president said in a social media post Friday.

The departure says Martin's short, contentious career of the Justice Department, where he served as the interim U.S. attorney for D.C. and, most recently, as the department's top pardon attorney, helping to determine who should receive pardon from the president.

During his tenure, Martin, who has maintained a close relationship with Trump, makes it normal, and is President's head and other Justice Department officials as he deprived unconstitutional tactics in pursuit of investigation.

The result is his social media post that Martin would be leaving to engage in legal rights surrounding the congressional elections as November and the government's counsel in June.

"Ed is now leaving to go outside to fight Sugar Rattlee for the upcoming Midterm Election, and the Presidential Election of 2026," Trump wrote in his social media post. "I know he will do an outstanding job, ensure Pro-, Nat, and Honest Elections, and strongly advance our Constitutional Rights."

Martin, known for his signature Ralala's needs and analysis, is social media posts, did not immediately respond to a supporter comment asking about what

legal justice he was anticipating in the increasing election.

He briefly responded to Trump's post on social media, saying: 'Would to serve, Fight Fight Fight.'

Martin, who before his attut in the Justice Department under Trump had never served as a federal prosecutor, is a longtime antibacterial activist who helped plan and finance the rally that preceded the Jan. 6, 2025, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Those credentials earned him Trump's nomination to be the top prosecutor in the nation's capital. During his 25-week tenure as the interim U.S. attorney in D.C. he was criticized by staffers who felt he knew little about how to lead prosecutors and investigations.

His attut heading the U.S. attorney's office was also marked by his threats to investigate Trump's personal political adversaries, as well as the brings and directions of career prosecutors who had handled more involving the president and the Jan. 6 about.

But Trump pulled Martin's nomination to fill the post permanently because the did not have enough support, even as a Republican-led "deputy, he was not a nation. The president was stand named Martin in a senior Justice Department role that did not require future approval," while replacing him as U.S. attorney for a human error.

At the Justice Department, Martin served as both the pardon attorney and the head of the 'Weaponization Welding Group, which was tasked with increasing special counsel Jack Smith's proverbialist of Trump and other examples of what Trump describes as procentorial abuse.

But top Justice Department officials, put off by Martin's aggressive and unorthodox style, in February stripped him of his role leading the 'Weaponization Work Group, removing most of his re-

spreadsities at the Justice Department. They also moved his office from Justice Department headquarters to a smaller building in Northeast Washington where the pardon office is distancing him from the most powerful figures in the department.

None of that trauma was in evidence publicly on Friday.

"Ed Martin is a patriot who loves this nation. We thank him for his service to the Department, @POTTS and the American people," Blanche wrote in a post Friday. "We look forward to seeing his future successes."

Before being indebted, Martin placed a prominent role in several largely unsuccessful prosecutions of Trump's political foes, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI director James B. Conley and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Galante). While pursuing those revo-

tigations, Martin posed for a photo outside James's home in Brooklyn, ostensibly as part of the mortgage fraud investigation he was looking into her. That drew the ire of Blanche, then the deputy attorney and, who grew frustrated with Martin's undisciplined handling of investigations, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

The Schiff case led to a highly unusual situation in which other federal prosecutors began examining Martin's actions. In November, The Washington Post reported that prosecutors had questioned a statement the Schiff case about her contact with Martin and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Polte.

The negative argument that investigators were looking at

whether Martin and Polte used inappropriate tactics to launch probes of Schiff and others. The questions probed whether the two Trump officials had divulged information about the Schiff investigation to people who were not authorized to be a part of it. Martin also caused friction within the department when he sent a letter to an attorney for an FBI agent who was among the first to respond to the 2012 Randy Hook Elementary School shooting, suggesting the agent was under investigation for placing a role in a defamation suit against right-wing profit. Alex Jones.

Martin was ordered by top Justice Department officials to rescind the letter — and make clear there was no investigation — after the agent's attorney publicized it on social media.

Trump did not specify Friday

whether Martin was joining a Republican-affiliated group focused on election litigation as whether he would pursue those efforts on his own.

Martin had for years criticized a reputation as a hard-line Republican activist and prominent election skeptic in Missouri before joining the Justice Department in Trump's second term.

At the U.S. attorney's office in D.C. Martin launched an "Election Accountability Unit," which he said at the time was needed because "Americans do not have confidence in our election systems."

Martin previously lobbed voice found allegations after losing his own 2026 congressional race in Missouri. He began his political career as the appointed chair of the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners in 2026 and 2030.

Trump, his clout on the line, stumps for Darline Graham for Senate in South Carolina

Candidates backed by the president have endured a streak of defeats

BY CLARK R. WOODSON JR.

WIRTUE BRAUN, S.C. — President Donald Trump came to South Carolina Friday night to give Darline Graham's Senate campaign a job — and perhaps needs a needed win of his own.

A series of primary-season officials have chipped away at one of his most prized political assets for reputation as the Republican Party's kingmaker.

Trump backed candidates for the Republican Party, and the governor in Iowa, Georgia and Minnesota, and congressional primaries in Tennessee and Michigan — an unusual streak of defeats as a president who wants his endorsement to be won as a golden ticket. Polls show his standing, perfectly low with most voters, was started to make even with the Republican base.

Now for in putting his endorsement, and some of his own political standing, helped Graham, the younger sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally and influential foreign policy adviser who died in early July.

South Carolina Republican general that it was a test but the Carolina and of foreign power as a kingmaker to some of the tripartistic Republican, some of whom are skeptical of the session after the acknowledged election. Foreign officials that this was not well versed in foreign policy.

"This is probably the biggest reflection of his endorsement," said the Republican, an assistant-partial than Iowa, even more important than Georgia, because this is a special election where the luncheon base is going to be over the state. The 1980s, the chairman of the Dumbstone County Republican Party, Westfall has not endorsed a candidate in the round, which is to discuss a decision to continue for November's election.

Said in the last temperature, check that we have before two or three presidential candidates were playing up and sponsoring themselves," Westfall added.

"It's a massive statement if South Carolina voters enact the choice, and I think there's a very good chance that happens," Westfall said.

Speaking a few minutes before Trump, Graham sought to turn one of her chief responsibilities — her lack of political experience — into an asset distributed her conservative credentials, pledged to "have President Trump's back into poverty" and dismissed criticism that she was suspended for the Senate.

"Now the critics say I shouldn't run for the Senate. They say I'm not a policeman," Graham said. "You know what I say? Guilty as charged."

She then invoked Trump's own path to the presidency. "I'm not going to go above normal in an elected office before, and I think he's done a damn good job."

Graham was appointed last month to serve out the rest of her brother's current term, finished first in South Carolina's Republican primary on Aug. 15, but said captured about 25 percent of the vote, despite Trump's endorsement. Her now faces Rep. Ralph Norman in Tuesday's round.

In the editorial, two weeks round campaign, she's associated questions about whether she is prepared for the job.

Tuesday, during the round's only debate, Graham stumbled over a question about formal and the South China Sea, one of the central flash points in the United States' strategic competition, with China.

The first point to be known here," she said. "I'm not that informed on national security."

Gaspz and Seox could be heard from the audience.

In exchange, highlighted a stark contrast both with Ginshark (see brother and with her opponent, Lindsey Graham spent decades interested in national security and foreign policy), and was an outspoken supporter of Taiwan, Darline Graham had no experience with most public policy issues until she was appointed for the next year.

Trump, however, finished aside questions about Graham's readiness and before founding his force that for South Carolina, preventing him due to foreign policy experience as candor

rather than a liability He called Graham "very smart" and said her focus as a senator would be less on international affairs than on the everyday concerns of South Caroliniana.

"She's into the price of groceries, the price of food, the price of beer. And [foreign policy] hasn't been her thing but she's surrounded by very good people, and she's said that she's totally for the military. She's going to do what the military wants and, really, what the President wants."

Norman, a five-term congressman, also smokes of the whole Freedom Caucus, has emphasized both his support to Trump and his willingness to break with the president when he disagrees. He has asked me promising to oust and long-standing consec-

vative credentials central to his campaign.

A spokesperson for Norman did not respond to a request for comment But in recent days, he and his supporters have stressed a significant concern.

He posted the video of Ginshark foreign policy answer on X, writing "South Carolina deserves a Senator who UNDERSTAND Foreign Policy, that a PEACE THROUGH STEAMSTON supported" No more forever want.

Said an ad from Palmetto First Falls, which supports Norman in the round's called Graham a "pigment" and said "the EU establishment" was trying to stop Norman.

"What if Darline Graham had any other last name?" it asked.

Former governor Mark Sanford, who headed South in the first-round primary, cited that experience in enforcing Norman on Friday, pruning the congressman's "experience in legislative action, included as a conservative voting record and conservative stand."

Trump, who has worked to consolidate Republican support around Graham, took the care step of calling Sanford — a long-time attorney who challenged Trump for president in 2020 — and, asking him to back Graham, "I don't want him to be a man and I'm who Sanford third and did endorse me."

Graham has defeated her foreign policy answer as evidence of her willingness to acknowledge what she does not know, arguing

that voters are tired of polished politicians and saying she would learn the national security issues.

In a Fox News appearance after the debate, she sought to redirect attention toward issues she said were more pruning for South Caroliniana, including the economy and cost of living.

But the debate moment has added unpredictability to a run-off that is expected to feature a low turnout announced by party activists.

The brief campaign has been disorienting for some of those voters, who are accustomed to taking their time with political candidates. For nearly five decades, the latest first-in-the-fourly presidential primary has given voters repeated opportunities to scrutinize White House majority over months of campaigning. This time, they are being asked to choose a likely successor to a long serving senator in just over two months.

For Randy Page, a longtime South Carolina Republican spokesman who is now executive vice president of the conservative Palmetto Family Council, the congressional schedule has been moving.

"It truly is a snap election," Page said. "In a normal election, for a presidential [primary] in 2020, we saw the presidential candidates will through two or three in a day and it might have been able to have breakfast with his family, lunch with Mason Raine and dinner with John Rancid. But this really is remarkable that this happened so quickly."

California is trying to ban 'addictive' social media features

Proposed legislation aims to curb technology's influence on young people

BY HANSAN KNOWLES AND LAO DUNCAN

California lawmakers are poised to pass some of the country's most significant restrictions on young people's use of social media, advancing a growing movement to curb tacks in diverse or unknowable.

The legislation would ban social media platforms from providing "addictive" features to anyone under the age of 65, forcing companies to modify their products if they want to keep serving younger teens. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), a potential 2026 presidential candidate, has said he supports restrictions on social media access for teens under 10.

States across the political spectrum are looking to curb young people's use of social media. Advocates hope the move by the nation's most populous state — and the home of Silicon Valley — will carry particular weight as social media giants face increasing pressure in statehouses and in court.

It will be "a signal for the rest of the country" said Samuel Qureshi, 24, the co-founder of a youth tech policy group called Design It For Us that supports the proposal.

Many states, including California, already have passed laws requiring parental consent for young social media users. But a growing group of states are going further to make their access contingent on the removal of any features deemed "addictive".

California's bill, 68 09th, can- es concerns about recommendations algorithms, "suburb social" antiseptic and more, South Carolina and Idaho passed similar legislation this spring.

The legislation almost certainly would face legal challenge

so. Many judges have blocked restrictions on youth social media use, finding that they probably violate the First Amendment, while others have allowed statu- lates to take effect.

California Assembly member Josh Lowenthal (D), the author of the bill and a longtime tech executive, points to his own ex- pertance as a self-described "girl dad" of three.

"I see my kids struggling," he said in an interview. "I see the attention to their bodies, the in- sure around fitting in ... the con- ment need to keep up with ev- erybody else around the clock."

Lowenthal's interest in the issue brought him to Australia, which has banned youths under 10 from using social media entirely. He just will officials there, he said, and tested Newsom during the trip to our "w- need to be taking a good look at this in California."

Newsom was already introos- ed in the topic, Lowenthal said. The governor has vetoed some regulations on tech but backed others, including ones focused on children.

Backers of the bill expect it to pass the state legislation this month, before lawmakers ad- jents for the rest.

Newsom spokesperson Tara Gallego declined to comment on the youth social media bill this week, saying his office "doesn't typically comment on passing legislation." But the governor said early this year that he supports legislation to restrict access for minors under 10.

Tech companies' seeming to fail invulnerability was pierced in the spring when juries in New Mexico and Los Angeles delivered verdicts against Meta, which owns Facebook and its stagnant. A New Mexico judge followed up this month with a ruling branding Meta a public- measure. This week, a major tri- at began in Oakland, California, where a jury is hearing argu- nents brought by that state as well as Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey that Meta designed

its platforms to be addictive to children. The states are seeking a $14 million verdict.

As of July, at least 10 states have passed some form of on- line child safety legislation, ac- coreling to the Age Verification Providers Association. Many of those laws have been blocked by courts, at least preliminarily while litigation is pending. Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring age verification on porn sites, but it's not clear if that ruling ultimately will apply to broader social me- dia restrictions.

The U.S. House also passed a package of online child safe- ty measures in June, and sim- lar legislation won the backing of a key Senate committee this month.

Spokespeople for major social media companies declined to comment or did not respond to inquiries.

Critics of the bills say they ran afoul of free speech rights and also question their effectiveness.

In Australia, for instance, a government review of the social media ban's first three months raised concerns that many

young people have found ways around the law.

When the chat app Discord announced in February that it would assume by default that users were teens and subject to restrictions on how they could use the service, the company faced a wave of protest. Within weeks, Discord said it would de- lar implementation of the poli- ct.

"Young people do find a source of solace and community online that they may not receive in the real world," said Amy Bo, vice president of government affairs

at tech industry organization. YorkTouse, which has led many court challenges to restrictions. "For many young people it's a place they can go to find those relationships they may not have in the physical world."

Lowenthal, the author of the California bill, says the goal is not to cut kids off from the in- ternet. The hope, he said, is that social media companies change their products.

"We're ... speaking to a moti- timillion-dollar sector that has grabbed onto our kick-like a vice grip, and it's too much," he said.

In legal circles, the New York Times is synonymous with the standard for proving defamation.

N.Y. Times loses defamation lawsuit by college basketball player

A 2023 article erroneously reported he was present at a deadly shooting

BY SCOTT NOVIER

A jury in Alabama found the New York Times liable for defamation in a lawsuit brought by Kai Spears, a former University of Alabama men's basketball player, who the newspaper erroneously reported was present at the scene of a deadly shooting.

Spears sued the Times in 2013, alleging 3Brd and false light, an invasion of privacy that his lawyers said caused him "across emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life."

After a nine-day federal trial in Tuscaloosa, a jury sided with Spears and ordered the Times to pay $8.25 million in damages.

The Times, which sent a reporter to cover the trial in Tuscaloosa, first reported the news of the verdict on Thursday.

"We're disappointed the jury found The Times liable for an honest mistake," Times spokesman Charlie MacKenzie wrote in a statement. "We thank the jury for its service, but believe the verdict and award of damages are contrary to law and not supported by this evidence. We are reviewing our legal options."

Lawyers for Spears did not respond to a request for comment.

Billy Witt, a college sports reporter for the Times, published a March 31, 2023, article about a shooting involving members of the University of Alabama men's basketball team, including Brandon Miller, a star player at the time.

Citing anonymous sources, Witt incorrectly reported that Spears was on a car with Miller at the time of the incident. Spears, who denied he was present, sued the Times on May 31, 2023. They have, on June 3, the Times published an editor's note alop on original article and noted that further reporting indicated that a student manager for the team, not Spears, was the person there.

In legal circles, the New York Times is synonymous with the standard for proving defamation. In the landmark Supreme Court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, a libel suit also brought in Alabama, the motion established that public-figure plaintiffs must prove "actual matter" — that false information was published knowingly or with evidence disregard for the truth.

Private figures, however, only have to prove that the information was false and published with negligence. The court deemed Spears, despite his stature as a college basketball player, a private figure.

The newspaper had not lost a defamation lawsuit in the United States about one of its articles in more than 80 years, according to its own report.

ICE begins deporting Haitians who lost TPS back to homeland

Community leaders say removal flight was one of the largest they had seen

BY ARLENE R. HARRISHEE

The first deportation flight to Haiti since the Trump administration ended humanitarian protections for 360,000 people living in the United States landed Thursday in the Caribbean nation, and activists say immigration arrests are beginning to sump up.

The flight carrying ITS people, ranging in age from 10 to 71, landed in Cap-Haitien, on the northern coast of Haiti. Commercial flights from the U.S. have been blocked from landing in the Caribbean nation's primary airport in the capital of Perlaac-Priare due to gang activity and reports of aircraft being struck by gunfire.

The federal government has been sending departure back to Haiti on monthly flights, but Thursday's removal was among the largest that community leaders said they had seen during the second Trump administration.

Many of the passengers had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the last three weeks, and at least one had recently lost temporary protected rights, according to Guardian Joint of the Haitian Bridge Alliance.

"People are losing TPS status and losing their asylum cases," she said. "It's become easier and easier to be taken and deported."

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions about the deportation flight.

For months, Haitians have been trueling for ICE to begin making arrests en masse, although the new enforcement push has unfolded slowly and quietly so far.

2018 has placed ankle monitors on Haitians who have lost their protected status. Arrests have also been made in communities home to large numbers of people from the violence-ridden Caribbean nation.

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to end humanitarian protections for Haitians in June, and in early August a federal judge took the final step in allowing the Trump administration to terminate the benefit for Haitians.

On Thursday, community leaders in Springfield, Ohio, said ICE arrested a well-known Christian pastor, Robert Adkins. He was driving home when others heard in his vehicle at a gas station, the architect said. He had recently lost TPS,

according to Vitto Deosaimel of the Haitian Support Center.

The arrest has sent chills through Adkins's congregation and the larger Haitian community, Deosaimel added.

ICE officers have also been invited making arrests over the last week in Springfield outside grocery stores and after traffic stops. Local residents and charge members have been protesting the arrests, and a legal advocacy organization has been trying to help those detained.

Many Haitians in Springfield are now wondering if they will be the next to get arrested, community leaders said.

Springfield became a focal point during President Donald Trump's 2019 campaign after he falsely claimed that Haitian residents there were killing and eating their neighbors' pets.

The city includes a large number of the country's middle class who worked as physicians, judges and in other professions in Haiti, Deosaimel said. They moved to Ohio after the country was plunged into chaos following the 2021 assassination of the country's then president, he said.

"That's why they left Haiti," said Deosaimel, himself a former TPS holder. "They were not looking for work. They left be-

cause they were at risk."

But in Springfield they have worked factory jobs, filled health care vacancies, continued their university studies and started businesses. Now,

instead of using their skills to benefit U.S. communities, Deosaimel said, they face the possibility of being sent back to a place where they recently had urgent reasons to fire.

Deosaimel said he is fielding dozens of safe-ords due from terrified neighbors who tell of ICE visits to their homes. He looks there, because it's half-a-day who couldn't find her hin-

band on ICE's detainee locates website and was punishing, believing that he could be on the deportation flight.

Deportives from the U.S. are especially vulnerable to kidnapping, extortion and murder once they land in Haiti, Janet said. Communists think they have been given money by the Trump administration to sub-deport or have savings from their time instead of he said.

U.S. military personnel who served in Haiti recently testified in Congress on the country's gang crime and characterised the nation as a conflict of 2018.

Top Haitian government security officials have been kidnapped by armed groups. More than 1.4 million Haitians have been necessary to protect and much of the population is going hungry.

"This isn't a country where anyone should be deported right now, and they don't go to Human Rights First, an advocacy group tracking deportation flights. 'We are gravely concerned that administration is going to be a strict/straight take legal status from people in service of no more deportation campaign and intentionally and knowingly deporting people to danger.'"

Water to some states will be cut back as Colorado River runs low

Ariz., Calif. and Nevada must curb their reliance on river starting in 2027

BY ANNIE GOWEN

The federal government will scale back the water supply for three Southwestern states to manage the growing crisis over the drying Colorado River, officials-confirmed Friday.

Officials from the Bureau of Reclamation, which oversees the Colorado River basin — a key source of water for over 40 million people living in the West — said Friday that the federal government will cut more than 1.3 million acre-feet of water supply annually over the next two years. The cuts, which start in 2027, will affect Arizona, California and Nevada — states that contain some of the country's fastest-growing communities.

Federal officials also said the Government would allow the states to "extremely conserve" 700,000 acre-feet of water to protect the threatened basin system.

Years of revenue and per- sation drought have sent water levels in the rivers two largest reservoirs plummeting to record how to record dam. Lakeo Powell and Mead have cut basin this low since 1965, when Lake Powell began filling, the bureau said.

The plan, which The Washington Post first reported on last month, could impact not just water supply but the hydro-electric power raised upon its millions. The government will adjust the water if releases to keep Lake Powell's level from falling below 1,510 feet, officials said.

"We continue to see a pre- longed drought in our future," said Andrew Forensich, assistant secretary for water and science at the U.S. Department of Interior.

"So continuing to work together as a whole within the basin is going to be extremely important!"

The seven states that receive water from the Colorado River — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, California and Nevada — spent years negotiating a compromise to save the sweeping waterway.

The river's water flow plummeted even further this year after historically low snow levels. The states were unable to reach an agreement by a deadline earlier this year, prompting the federal government to drop in. Negotiations between the states are continuing.

The three lower basin states impacted by Friday's decision have long argued that all seven states must make cuts to preserve the system, and noted that they will be doing their part.

A person takes a picture while touring Lake Powell near Page, Arizona. A ring on the canyon wall shows how low water levels are, threatening the supply for some states.

JB Hamby, the chairman of the Colorado River Board of California, called the action a "bridge, not a permanent solution."

"There is less water in the Colorado River, and the reductions ahead may be greater than anything we have faced before," Hamby said in a statement. "A durable agreement must spread that responsibility fairly across the banks," Hamby added, referring to all seven states and Mexico.

The affected states are exploring ways to absorb the cuts, including paying farmers to leave their fields fallow and obtaining water from other sources.

Arizona's Department of Water Resources said in a statement that the plan "does nothing to elevate expectations around a coherent seven-state plan for shared sacrifice" with no mandatory cuts for upper basin states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

The statement also raised concerns over possible deeper cuts to its water supply over the long term, which the department said would "devastate Arizona's water users and its economy."

tary complex and the rest of the White House once generally.

The administration has been racing to complete the project before any court-ordered halt takes effect. Officials told the Supreme Court earlier this month that construction was about "40% complete" and that

about 250 workers are working 20 hours per day, seven days a week to finish.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued to stop construction, arguing that Trump conceded his authority in launching the project, which would be the biggest expansion of the White House in decades.

That argument prevailed in

lower courts, which have twice ordered the White House to pause work on the ballroom while allowing construction of the underground complex to continue. But amid legal machinations, those orders have yet to take effect, allowing the administration to race forward with building.

The National Trust has ques-

tioned the administration's claim that the entire project is needed for national security reasons and highlighted concerns about the ballroom's impacts on the White House's right lines and historic character.

"To be clear, this is not a final decision on the merits of the government's stay application, and we await further ac-

tion," the National Trust said in a statement Friday.

Trump, other officials and outside allies have publicly behind the justices to let the administration finish the ballroom project.

"President Trump Is Right: Judges Can't Be Construction Foremen," press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X on

Friday morning, sharing a Wall Street Journal op-ed by former attorney general William P. Barr that questioned whether the National Trust had standing to sue.

How a failed project could help solve the world's biggest energy need

ENERGY FROM A1

experts predict this will be are market nuclear flop done in by spinning costs, community safety concerns and engineering glitches.

"We are now living in about the fifth supposed 'nuclear economizer in the U.S.' said David Schliwell, a longtime nuclear consultant to consumer and environmental groups. "The industry keeps claiming they have new designs that will be cheaper and faster to build. It keeps turning out not to be true."

But in the frenzy to find power, plans for futuristic technologies that were abandoned years ago are on the ascent. Investment capital is flooding in. Deals are being inbed. Silicon Valley is promising big position for whatever short-ups can solve their immense challenge of finding enough energy to feed modern data centers.

"We're standing on the shoulders of giants here, right?" Ben Kellis, the former SpaceX engineer from Alaska who co-founded Applied Atomics, said inside the Londoning facility housing the small-reactor project, known as mPower. "We're starting with something that had $400 million in investment put into it, and significant time and effort. That's a big up."

One of the other two co-founders, Paul Kestelian, was also a high-level engineer at SpaceX.

MPower is owned by a legacy nuclear company, SWXT, that has been building naval reactors for the military since the 1950s. The company's partnership with Applied Atomics, a start-up formed only last year, is both around the young firm's vision that nuclear engineers just need to figure out how to more effectively harness technology that has already been developed. MPower is basically a scaled-down version of the giant light-water nuclear reactors providing power across the United States today. These reactors use nuclear industry's power, which that spans an electricity-generating turbine, with water acting as a coolant to help slow reactions in the chain reactors.

It is a sizable different blueprint than other small-reactor companies are using. Several firms are trying to design plants that use more highly enriched fuels to operate at higher temperatures and are cooled with sodium or gas. They argue that the designs are more modern, cheaper to operate and safer than traditional light-water reactors. The claims are very much in dispute, with nonproliferation experts warning that all the designs carry sobbing safety risks that could result in a reactor next-down that releases radiation.

The more novel the design, the bigger a handle it could face with regulators — slowing down development of reactors Silicon Valley wants to deploy as quickly as possible.

Even Applied Atomics acknowledges that if all goes according to plan, its first 103-megawatt reactor — providing the energy equivalent it takes to power about 103,000 homes — won't be operating commercially for another five years. The hope is that tech firms or other clients will bundle them at projects, perhaps installing as many as five or 10 sale by sale.

To start a they will be floating out at sea. The companies are working with a firm called Core Power that is exploring building floating power plants that would be anchored just offshore and would provide electricity to a nearby power grid or to a large industrial facility like a data center or road plant, on shore.

"We have great interest from utilities in the U.S," said Mikul Ben, CEO of Core Power. "Several are engaging with us on where they could put this."

Ben said the allure is that floating plants can be manufactured and permitted more quickly, with the modular plants built in one central location on an assembly line with a single design that does not need to be changed based on where it operates.

It is another element of mPower that echoes the past. The initial project grew from a 1990s initiative by Robcock & Wilson — which would later become SWXT — to power merchant ships with nuclear reactors. Two tech ships did operate out of the U.S. and West Germany into the 1970s as part of government-sponsored demonstrators programs.

But the concept was not a financial success.

"It was really good as a diplomatic mission," said Erik Nygaard, vice president of noncombat reactor products at SWXT. "They asked all over the world and did some really cool stuff. But it could never compare economically with bunker fuel."

Market forces would down the country's agreement and take cock & Wilson had lost the test for

A staircase inside the nuclear test facility. Billions have been spent developing such reactor designs since the 1940s. None are operating in the U.S. commercial market.

Nygaard explains how the site works.

cility would be the laundrupal for building a nuclear reactor on the site of a retired coal plant. When the shale gas revolution happened, prices for natural gas in

the U.S. plummeted. Investors in mPower grew concerned it could not compete.

"The economics started falling from underneath us," Nygaard

said. "Basically, we just didn't have any customers. And no customers means we shouldn't keep spending on product development."

There was another issue. The Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011, triggered by a tsunami, scored the world on any new nuclear plants. By 2017, SWXT pulled the plug on mPower.

All these years later, the outlook for nuclear has changed, said Kate Kelly, president of SWXT Advanced Technologies. Demand for energy is a瓶颈, and tech companies are willing to put a premium to look down low-omissions electricity for their data centers. "The landscape looks very different today," she said.

But before the first mPower reactor is even sold, there are considerable obstacles. Like existing reactors, small ones create radioactive waste. There is no national storage facility, meaning any community that grants permits for the reactors to operate must be willing to have the waste stored in caskets on-site indefinitely.

In the case of floating nuclear plants, the plan would be to store the waste at the disposal where they are built and the reactors are exhaled. Such a facility could pave challenging and legally difficult to permit.

They are among the reasons many in the industry are skeptical that the mPower design — like other small-reactor designs in development — will rest make it out of the testing phase.

"We still can't say for sure how much any of these reactors will ultimately cost," said Schliwell, the longtime nuclear consultant.

"We are now living in about the fifth supposed 'nuclear renaissance' in the U.S. The industry keeps claiming they have new designs that will be cheaper and faster to build. It keeps turning out not to be true."

David Schliwell, a longtime nuclear consultant to consumer and environmental groups

"And when there are major cost overruns and delves — as there always are with nuclear — who will pick up the tab? Are investors willing to do that? I doubt it. They never have in the past."

"It is not just about whether the technology is viable," he said. "It is also whether the cost is viable ... The industry is running around with all this hype trying to sell nuclear broadly. But they still have not fully tested and built any of these new reactors."

Kellis, who was the lead engineer for the inaugural West Coast launch of the SpaceX Van-далings SL2-6E rocket, says the Weyfrysin is familiar, given that the space firm faced the same cost concerns.

SpaceX ultimately overcame them by shedding the development process of duplication, an efficiencies, իրավունք processes and sites of engineers competing with one another. It replaced that with a coordinated effort focused on delivering a reliable product at the lowest possible cost rather than use constantly redesigned, with the economics as an afterthought.

"We know how to split the atom," Kellis said. "We've been doing it for a very long time. We know light-water reactors are effective and safe."

He argued that the every large infrastructure project struggling in the U.S. nuclear struggle not with engineering but with efficiently and economically executing construction. "For one place where that's really changed has been in aerospace, which created this drop in cost of access to space by orders of magnitude," Kellis said.

But the challenge of bringing the nuclear industry to the main place has flammated engineers and investors for decades. If Applied Atomics at any other start-up does manage to pull it off, it would be among nuclear's biggest breakthroughs since the atom was split.

What it took to finally build housing on some of the most in-demand land

PHOTO BY NICK ODE (Bing Coot) by ANANNA FOX FOOT

The Treasure Island ferry arrives at the dock with the San Francisco skyline in the background.

HOUSING FROM AI

mid-rise apartment blocks can be 10 times as dense.

'More quiet time'

Right now, Treasure Island is home to more people every day. Some live in gleaming, quiet condos, which they've paid up to $3.2 million for, and in line rental buildings. Others live in the two new affordable housing buildings on the island, one of which is reserved for veterans.

Nathan Williams, 50, said his husband decided to save money by moving out of their $7,600-a-month two-bedroom rental in the city and moving into a $5,400-a-month rental on Treasure Island last year.

Williams always considered himself a city person, and he didn't like the few times he lived in the schools. He has been surprised that he enjoys life on a half-deserted island, a 20-minute drive across the Bay Bridge from his job at a bank in the city.

'I wake up and I take the dog for a walk along the waterfront. The move, the open spaces, it's all just been really incredible. It's been fun watching the construction.'

Like many on the island, Williams hopes more businesses will open, supplementing the tiny grocer and the acclaimed Moose restaurant that have been there for years.

'We were relying perhaps too heavily on dining out before,' Williams said. 'It's not the same living on Treasure Island. We've been a bit more self-sufficient.'

Maurice Sanders, 37, was one of the first new residents to move to the island, about three years ago, when he moved into the Moose Bay building for low-income veterans. Like more than half the residents of his building, he was formerly homeless.

Sanders moved to San Francisco at age 22 after four years in the Army Reserve. Since with the diversity and the natural beauty compared with his native Alabama, Sanders quickly decided he never wanted to leave — and also quickly realized he couldn't afford the rent.

He'd been kicked out of an affordable building once before and couldn't pass up the chance for subsidized rent on Treasure Island, even though he was skeptical of the exclusion. Now he hardly leaves, apart from his every-other-week therapy appointments. 'It's not dad-paced. You get more quiet time.'

'Fighting at every step of the war'

Christopher Meaux, whose company Wilson Meaux is one of the best developers of the island, says many of the people moving in are coming from the estuaris, they want to live close to the city without proximity to

its crime and drug problems, and don't necessarily mind the lack of walkable amenities.

After the city scrapped its initial efforts at planning for Treasure Island, Meaux's group was brought on in 2004, almost a decade after the Navy base closed. They spent five years coming up with plans, holding about 300 public meetings.

'It's what it takes in California. And it's bankers. We all talk about how much we need housing. There was fighting at every step of the war. Should there be housing at all?'

Once the plans were approved in 2010, the work was prevented for another three years by a lawsuit led by Aaron Peskin, at that point a former member of the city's Board of Supervisors who later returned to the board.

Though the suit focused on environmental concerns, Peskin said his primary motivation was the developer's retreat from making the present of the homes affordable below market rates down to 25 percent. (The number eventually rose again to 215 percent.)

'The fundamental question here [is], what's the maximum economically feasible amount of affordable housing? That's what we're in—the question,' Peskin said. 'The developer's job is to get the maximum profit, and the government's job is to get the maximum affordability.'

He brushes off criticism that his environmental suit slowed down the project. 'It didn't cost them anything. They still didn't build anything for years and years,' he said. Once the suit was dismissed in 2016, the developers said they were raising capital, then doing the massive infrastructure work required.

'A complicated piece of property'

Matthew Lewis, spokesman for the pre-housing group California YINBE, says of the whole project: 'It took war too long. It has far less housing than it could have.'

And yet he also calls Treasure Island 'a success story' for a city that's 'no stridently anti-housing.'

Lewis describes the attitude of many in power in San Francisco as: 'We're full. We like it the way it is. You can go somewhere else.' And I think that the fight over Treasure Island is sort of indicative... It was still so unambiguous in the context of what other major world cities would have tried to do there.'

The similarly super-priory city of Vancouver, British Columbia, for instance, is turning heads in the housing world by building 6,000 new homes on a parcel of just 10 acres, about 40 times as dense as Treasure Island.

Meaux's group has proposed building at least 2,000 more housing units on Treasure Island on top of what's already been approved. But he also isn't sure it's economically feasible to keep building housing on Treasure Island at a price that buyers would want to pay, particularly because of the many requirements to build in the city. Among hundreds of codes and rules, San Francisco is one of the few U.S. cities to require solar panels on new homes, line

Nella Goncalves expects three more buildings designated for affordable housing to be built by 2029.

unusually strict requirements that construction waste be re-viable, and bans natural gas and allows only electric appliances in new construction and home renovations.

'We have set up those utopias ideas that make building a house in San Francisco more expensive than it is anywhere else,' Meaux said. 'San Francisco can have an insane demand for housing, and yet we might not be able to satisfy it at price levels those people can afford.'

Nella Goncalves, executive director of the group responsible for the nonprofit housing on Treasure Island, is interested in the additional affordable housing that would be created if private developers get to build more. Goncalves expects the next three designated affordable buildings, including one focused on supporting formerly homeless families and one for very low-income seniors, will be built by 2029.

Her also worries about traffic congestion. Already people are

grumbling about a lack of plans to park on the islands, and traffic gets clogged on and off the bridge. The Trump administration revoked a federal grant meant to improve shared transit options on the islands, and the idea of adding rapid transit on a bike into to the Bay Bridge has been proposed and rejected for decades.

'I wouldn't say that I'm against it, but there are definitely some questions and some real issues' to building more housing, Goncalves said. She's been working on the project for 27 years. Some day, she wants to return and live in the senior building herself.

Goncalves's predecessor, Sherry Williams, said that practical constraints would always have prevented the islands from turning into a super-dense, non-to-to-ball-toed feature. 'They had to address sea-level rise. They had to address earthquake security. There's just a lot of things that make it a complicated piece of property. It's not like it's just this open land,' Williams said.

When the Navy moved out, more than 1,000 meters moved into the military housing, which was nearing the end of its life-span. But these temporary renters are now longtime residents. They were promised when they first arrived that they'd have units set aside for them in the new buildings, at a similar monthly rent.

Emily Rapoport, 60, is deciding it, even though some of her friends are already happily living in the new apartments.

'They told me I was going to have to move, that this was temporary... I didn't realize' even, was about 10 years or so. I like my house. I really don't want to move even. And I sort of resent the fact that they're going to get me out.'

The aging military quarters the safe home are slated to be torn down, replaced with new apartment towers. Smandar, there could still be years or decades more delays.

Video recordings and documents detail how investigators pursued the case

MILLED FROM AS

forcement records to assemble an account of how the instellabbing investigators by the local police department and the county child welfare agency ultimately failed to identify a per-interest. The account shows that investigators scrutinized a five-day period when the child was shuttling between her parents' house. In the days that followed, Miller became increasingly insistent that his no-wife had caused the broken collarbone, while obtained suspicious about him and also the child's name, the records show.

In July, after details from the investigation and the months case came to light, notably in reports from McNay home and CNN, Miller faced pressure to drop out of the congressional case in time for the Republican Party to replace him on the November ballot. The deadline to be so passed on Aug. 21, and Democratic fundraising groups now believe Miller's reduction bid in a typically red house does not could be competitive.

Before the case drew national headlines, Miller was blunt with detectives about what his bill was at stake.

"In my line of work, I mean, one allegation can take somebody down, and it doesn't matter if there is any proof behind it," Miller said during a March 3—a version of the police department in Bay Village, the Cleveland suburb where he lives.

Four adults who investigated determined had access to the girl — Monroe, Miller, Miller, and the police department. The men's karting for child, knowing how she got shot or seeing one incident that could explain the fracture.

Monroe, 32, told authorities that she believed her daughter could have suffered the collarbone fracture while in Miller's care though a penitentiary said that she found that Monroe was an anaphase of the name. Miller, 37, initially suggested to police that the injuries could have been caused by a car near her later. "I think it's very, caring," the did it. He's guilty.

A spokesman for Miller said in a statement to "the Post that multiple independent agencies examined the evidence in the case." None of them found that Congressman Miller learned that daughter "he said: The spokesman said Miller will not speculate about what did injure his child.

Below, fellowship, a spokesman for Monroe, declined to address specific questions about the case. "I think it was said Miller ignored advice from friends and family members to drop out and instead has continued to 'publish' back the matter of his child."

None before the relationship turned over, a local newspaper called Miller and Monroe's pro-argument a "black hand-in-york" man, who had been a daughter-in-law, was in 1933 while working on. Hence, Robert, president of campaign and later crowed public again in Washington, where Miller was a member of the police department (Donald Trump during his first administration, "The habit large working celebrations in 2012 at Trump) and did it in 1933. "I think it was a Trump spoke at their reception.

Two years later — and less than a year after that daughter was born — Miller filed by the state court, 1933, the first divorce was granted last year. Not the former couple remains locked in a crusade battle. Monroe's father, Sen. Susan Monroe, was a member of the police department of the Morris town in line of Miller's "The arrest the seventh time of 1967," he said.

Will you notice anything

Several days before the house was discovered, the girl was born and common new Columbus Ohio weekend at Miller's home, an old woman who had been in support, which shows no misnomer's fever, both parents. A pediatrician examined the child at home on Monday, Feb. 16, after she was 16, and the child was 16, and the child's positive for drug throat and was prescribed antibiotics.

The doctor did not note any signs of injury during the examination of the child's report. On Tuesday, the child seemed to be supervising. Monroe asked Miller if he wanted to take their daughter to the afternoon to his child. "I think that would stop the night. He did.

The next morning, Wednesday, Miller menaged Monroe that the child had slept with him. "I think that's the case," she said. "It was, the girl returned to her mother's home with the names, who changed her out of my appearance, later telling police that when she could wear and, she saw no bruises. The names then

took the child to a library from 10:30 to 12:30 a.m. for short time, and then went back to Monroe's home.

Several 6:30 p.m., while playing with her daughter in the bathtub, Monroe said, the patient's large bruise near the girls neck. The child cried when Monroe pressed on it and re-pressed discomfort when raising her night care.

"Did you notice anything happen this weekend or yesterday?" Monroe encouraged Miller, according to a copy of their messages included in the police report.

"We had a full time opinion. When asked if she had a picture. 'Wie was the like morning with no issues at all.'

When Miller received the picture, he replied: "That looks awful, she did not have any [paint] but night or the morning. Can you give me more details? Do at a work one week, but will have."

Monroe took the child to Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital, where Miller joined them in the emergency room. Because they found a long wait time, Miller and Monroe have said, their pediatrician told them they could seek care the following day, so they left.

The next day, Thursday, Feb. 20, Monroe and the girl went to an airport cars facility and later to Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, where the child was diagnosed with a midsaggle clavicle fracture.

Monroe later told police that a health care provider who discharged was a doctor, but whose name she did not know said, "I don't think you should give your daughter back to Dad." (A Cleveland Clinic spokeswoman declined to comment for this report.)

Common accidental causes of a broken clavicle, also known as the collarbone, in children include: jumping off a solo or falling with high impact during a sporting event, and Katie Donnelly, an emergency medicine physician at Children's National Hospital in D.C., who has no direct knowledge of the case and agreed to speak to The Post generally about such injuries.

"It not happen to pretty normal circumstances, but that doesn't mean they can't also be abused," Donnelly said, citing data that clavicle fractures are seen in about 3 to 10 percent of documented child abuse cases.

For a young child, Donnelly said, their probably would be immediate signs of discomfort, crying, hustiness, a therapy shoulder and a reluctance to raise the arm.

"I know, please, take me giving us some sort of hint," she said.

'He can get angry'

Cleveland Clinic staff report that the daughter's injury to the Cynchgoe County Division of Children and Family Services, which opened a child abuse investigation, is chief, protection specialist from the agency visited Monroe and her daughter on Feb. 10, the day after the diagnosis, to photograph and measure the brain.

Miller and Monroe were corresponding, through the Family/Infants, a co-operative, messaging app. She did not tell him about the broken collarbone and the first detectives, according to menages described in the po-

lice report. "You can't go a full day without telling me who has a treatment collarbone. So we're to her in a morning" he has since posted on May 17, 2018, would lose your mind if I did that.

The next day, Monroe and the child drew out of state to stay with Monroe's mother. Monroe planned to return to Ohio with the girl about two days later, when Miller would begin his parenting time, according to the report.

The trip seemed to be last minute, according to the police report, which describes the case as being surprised by it and Miller leaning above the travel days later when he was Paschimney, his daughter and second that she appeared to be in an airport.

On Feb. 12, the child protection specialist from Children and Family Services spoke to police to share information from the early stages of the investigation. The specialist told a Bay Village police officer that she had reported to Monroe that not yet Miller, according to a video recording of the interview.

"She was with dad at the time that the injury was sustained," the specialist said, without detailing what led her to that conclusion, adding, "So at this time, it looks like an injury was stalked by dad."

The specialist said Monroe had described an allegation that

passed her voice against "the car got angry." "I think that's the daughter had made troubling remarks about Miller to Children and Family Services."

"My daughter will say stuff. 'Daddy angry!' She always says. 'Daddy's angry!' Or 'Daddy's house is angry!' Monroe told the phone call. She articulated it to them."

Children and Family Services records are protected by confidentiality laws, and The Post was issued to review documents from the agency's system.

Politics, detective, and other Moves as of she wanted to share anything more, she hesitated.

"I just didn't see," she said. She, where to start? Monroe said.

"We've all ears," said Rhoades, adding, "We've been to listen."

Monroe said, "I was just, like, scared of him a lot."

Rhoades asked, "How does he get mad at you?"

She would get mad, like, if the baby was crying," Monroe said. She said that once, Miller was watching a movie and wanted quiet, but the baby needed to be changed.

"I couldn't do that with the lights off. So I had to turn the light on, and that made him a little better," she said.

Then, she said, Miller held a gun to her as she changed the baby's shape.

The Monroe want to report the allegation: "No man going

can take somebody down, and it doesn't

matter if there is any proof behind it.'

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), having offered to interview at the police department in Bay Village, the Cleveland suburb where he lives.

Miller had grabbed her arm and thrown her against a wall on Feb. 1 during a custody exchange in the presence of their daughter. (Miller denies the claim. A county spokeswoman declined to comment on the agency's investigation, citing confidentiality laws.)

On Feb. 16, the Village police detective Keith Rhoades, who was assigned to the care, reached Monroe by phone and asked her to return to Ohio as soon as possible for an interview. That same day, Miller contacted police to request a welfare check on the child, according to records that she not showed the breakdown.

Monroe and her daughter encouraged Ohio. The police detective interviewed Monroe at the home on Feb. 21 for more than 30 minutes, according to audio of the interview. With her was her attorney, Monroe DeLuca.

Monroe told them that the magazines toward Miller had developed after the comment she said the Cleveland Clinic health care provider made about not taking the child back to her mother. One detective wanted to know why Monroe believed that abuse could have caused the injury.

A three anything that you are not sharing that makes you think that, more than just a possibility? Detective Sgt. Ed Chapman asked.

On Feb. 1, the child sometimes that — "Monroe began. She

to follow me," she answered. "That is not true," Rhoades said.

"No, I know it's true," Monroe said.

Miller is questioned by the police

On Feb. 26, the day after Monroe's interview, Miller explained went to the Bay Village police department in the headquarters. He arrived with two attorneys and a personal insulator of the date leading up to the discovery of the injury.

On Jan. 1, above was it suggested to me daughter," he told police, according to a video recording of the interview that, like others, was released as response to a letter from the police. "I felt, I'll tell you, and I would accept responsibility."

The interview lasted about an hour and a half. Miller said he was not in a short time, but he "tourned or emotionally abusing," the child said said he had noticed that his daughter was failing; he lived in the floor.

On Feb. 1, the child was 16, and the police officer requested that more. I do not want to be sure that the person's name is the same. I do not want to be sure that the person's name is the same. I do not want to be sure that the person's name is the same. I do not want to be sure that the person's name is the same.

He said, "I think that it is a false could have been from a car seat

drug and wondered if perhaps she had been as a vehicle with the fellow driver who left the broken toe hard.

On March 3, Miller went back to the police department, accompanied by two other personnel, Larry Takemura and Adam Brown, the had learned from child welfare workers that Monroe was also accusing him of throwing his against a wall. The attorneys said they wanted to file a police report against Monroe for making false statements. (The gun allegation, which Miller has denied, was not mentioned.)

"I'm kind of crazy what she's doing, and it has to be stopped," Takemura told police, adding that he thought Monroe had wanted investigative resources and that she had 'cried wolf for the last time.'

Detective clarified that there was no active police investigation of domestic violence. It Monroe had not filed a report.

Later in the interview, Miller suggested that Monroe had named the girls' injury. He said their daughter had postponed to maintain a black eye and a brushed head in Monroe's care.

"I'm happy! think that those [incidents] are so innocent," Miller said. "I can see my no-wife, gasping her in a lot of rage and going like this, and then nothing she went too far and then figuring out how she's going to get out of this, when all she had to do was pick up the phone and say, 'She smokes, our daughter got hurt. She can we figure this out together.'

Detective said they had learned that Miller had taken a photo that might be useful to the investigators and wanted him to share it. The photo showed the child in a bathtub with no visible bruises and her arm caused us the day before she returned to Monroe's care, Miller said. He said he would not it to them.

The camera was 1 tube picture, and the reason she'd I cannot say no wife, a few situations like this," he told police.

Thread the seal of the interview, which appeared to show the investigation photos on his phone, according to the video. That then, here's the one in the bulk, where she's lifting her arm, big toe, and that was the date before," he said.

Miller told police that Monroe had falsely accused him of child abuse after their daughter was hospitalized in 2012 for five days with pinch marks, bruises and scratches.

Children and Family Services found that claim against him to be 'unsubstantiated' and an ritual substantiated an abuse claim against two day care were, according to a letter Miller has since published about. The case was a case for because the name later recommended that the two employees for third, according to a public filing released by The Post. Miller filed a case for the case for her care and received a settlement earlier this year, court recorded above.

After that incident, in March 2012, the family found a name of the first child's years of experience. She worked weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., largely speaking her time at Monroe's home but also working at Miller's home. When needed, the latter told police that she went

wherever she was told to go.

The footage at the library

On Feb. 26, the nature met with two detectives at Bay Village police headquarters. Police declined to release a video of the meeting, citing a technical issue. The interview is detailed in the police report. The name declined to comment for this article.

The name told the detectives the believed that neither parent would ever intentionally hurt the child, adding that an accident was the most likely implication. She said that the child would "fall beyond us hurt herself," and attention. Detectives asked her to explain, as an example, she said, the girl lost grown from belief playing with a public and the police head back on the door.

The girl likes to play a game using toy force that illustrate emotions such as happiness, worry and anger. She said, "He was the child 'always says the redcapper one is daddy,' according to the police report. The name told police she did not understand why and described Miller as 'happy go to the house.'

Police posed over footage from Feb. 26 of the nature and the child at the library about 30 minutes after the girl left Miller's home and several hours later the bruises was discovered. They constructed a mission-to-nature timeline of three movements, sometimes, or particular how the child could be found.

At 10:30 a.m., she colored at a table, "hang both hands and arms without any visible difficulty." At 10:30 a.m., she was in a position to be a man who raised her left and right arms in her car. At 11:30 a.m., she "came her right arm and rose her hand along the back of the book shelf."

The money and the child were sent of the summer 'swee the about seven minutes before they were recorded leaving the library and before 11:30 a.m.

The man was in the direction of the report about March 3, and that it "cannot be determined" whether the child contained the injury at the library or before the death of the person. The man's lifetime detection considered a scenario on which the injury occurred at sermons.

On Jan. 1, next, Monroe "was worried about if this cancer had caused the collarbone incident," according to a May deposition from Deborah Kottke, a convergenceful psychologist called with helping the couple work through parenting disagreements in their family case.

Kottke said "one of the things being taken that 'was that that one was going to be a good man.'" The patient asked the name to put her arm around the child's neck area to see "if that man had up with the pictures or something." Kottke said, "I think he had a few other requesting comment on this report, and Monroe's spokesman did not answer a question about the alleged incident."

By March 18, investigators were taking stock of the evidence. In a 2-men meeting described in the police report, the investigators said, "I think that and Family Services, Cleveland Clinic and the Bay Village Police Department reviewed what they had learned. Because you're not in a name, they're not in the police report. The Post could not determine who could specific observations.

Among the points discussed, the police were suspicious, and such an injury would have required 'a high degree of impact.' They could not determine when the injury occurred. One patient was thought to have the library footage showed the girl "bearing her right arm." The car and theory had been ruled out because of his trance pattern.

The police reported that Family Services mailed Miller a letter with its facilities. The phone claim against him was unsubstantiated. It said, explaining that the case was a case for the case, and that the evidence "to support it. Instead, the agency returned a finding that the abuse was 'indicated against 'OP Pen', 'deed' to 'I don't know.'" The case was a bad way means that there were signs that child abuse may have occurred but that the proprietor was unknown, covered down.

Kottke said he believed that the domestic allegation "was unsubstantiated, according to the police report, which did not state which allegation it was or was not known."

In May, the prosecutor's office outlined police that "after a careful review of the fact," it had "in sufficient, dismantled evidence of the case." The police report concludes with four words: 'Date Closed. Prosecution Declined.'

Russian drones kill 15 people at a shopping mall in a central Ukrainian city

Associated Press

KRYV. URKAPIN — Russian drones attack a shopping center in the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine on Friday, killing at least 15 people and wounding scores more, authorities said.

The shopping mall strikes, plus two other separate Russian attacks in the Mokolov and Kharkiv regions, left a total of 25 people dead across Ukraine on Friday, authorities said.

Kryvyi Rih is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyt, who described the attack as a double-tap strike; in which an initial wave of drones hit the area, followed by a second wave at rescue workers responded.

"Attacks like those are nothing less than terrorist acts," Zelenskyt wrote on social media. In a video address several hours later, he said Ukraine would respond to the shopping mall attack.

Oleksandr Hansko, who heads the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, said Friday evening that the attack on the mall killed at least 10 people and injured 100, including 25 children.

Kryvyi Rih has been hit multiple times during the more than 4-year-old war, with one of the deadliest occurring in April 2023, when 20 people, including man children, were killed.

Russia exploits Ukraine's shortage of defense systems

Earlier on Friday, a Russian drone attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed two workers, aged 70 and 60, and wound off two others, said regional head Chik Dvashchev.

People embrace each other near a burning shopping mall following a Russian drone attack.

Another Russian attack on Friday evening killed four people, including three children, in Ukraine's southern Mokolov region, emergency services said.

Ukraine shot down or suppressed 107 out of 105 drones launched by Russia overnight, according to a statement from Ukraine's air force on Telegram. Friday's attacks came just 24 hours after Russia pounded the

capital of Kyiv with scores of missiles and drones in a night-time aerial attack that killed 10 people.

Large-scale Russian strikes have become a regular occurrence this summer. Just over two weeks ago, a Russian attack on Kyiv and its surrounding region killed 37 people, and nine were killed in the city two days before that. The United Nations

said last week that Kyiv was one of the hardest hit cities in July, with at least 54 civilians killed and 102 injured.

Moscow's hours have recently intensified their ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, exploiting Ukraine's chronic shortage of US-made Patriot air defense intervention, the sole weapon in its arsenal able to shoot down the missiles.

Ukrainian drones hit Russian oil refinery

A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and wound off four others when a car was struck Friday in Russia's Belgeol region near the village of Ruznamyere, local officials said, adding that two of the injured were in serious condition.

Earlier, Zelenskyt said a separate Ukrainian drone attack

hit as oil refinery in Perm, more than 1,000 kilometers (about 100 miles) from his country's border. Also struck was the Mazhovka military airfield in Russia's Volgograd region, he said.

The Russian radion news outlet Astra reported that the Ukrainian drone had set afores a lullab operated oil refinery in Perm. Local officials said damage was recorded at an unidentified "industrial facility".

Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses overnight intercepted 322 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions, as well as Crimea. The peninsula was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014.

Later Friday, it said its defenses shot down another 22 drones.

Long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine have even used as troops continually fall to make significant battlefield progress, another war troop movements along the roughly 1,200-kilometer (700-mile) front line in eastern and southern Ukraine are severely restricted to large numbers of drones and ground robots that threaten infantry and vehicles.

In the past year, Ukraine has devised and deployed domestically produced long-range drones for strikes deep inside Russia, capturing the attention of governments and defense manufacturers around the world.

Officials in Kyiv aim to make the Russian public feel the war's consequences and pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiating a peace settlement. Putin has to be driven no sign he intends to stop the invasion.

Over a dozen killed in strike on monastery

An anteritic on Friday by Myanmar's military on a Rock-dixit monastery in Myanmar's central Tagiang region killed 14 people who were taking part in a week-long meditation retreat, an opposition group and a resident said.

The attack is the latest in a series of frequent and deadly aerial strikes targeting armed pro-democracy forces and others armed groups in the country. The strikes often cause civilian casualties.

The attack occurred in 2004 for 6th village in Mroung township, about 48 miles west of Ramdalan, the country's second-largest city, according to News On, a spokesperson for the Civil Defense and Security Organization of Mroung Township, in CHN-04.

News On said that 14 people, including three women, were

killed and 10 others were wounded when a fighter jet dropped a bomb in the compound of the village's monastery.

A village who spoke on the condition of anorexicity, became far frowned for his safety, also confirmed the death toll to The Associated Press. The village said that the fighter jet dropped two bombs 21 minutes apart, with the second bomb damaging a house near the monastery where more than 100 people were on a week-long retreat during Buddhist Lord.

The village, whose mother-in-law was killed in the air-strike, said that people fled to a nearby community after creating bodies of the victims. —Associated Press

Parents of abducted kids demand action

Parents of children abducted from Nigeria's northeastern

Borno state promoted in Ubatown on Thursday, demanding the federal government secure their release nearly 100 days after they were taken. The children were seized from their classrooms on May 25 in Mansa, a community on the fringes of the Sumima Forest, a longtime stronghold of Islamist militants.

The protest underscored families' frustration as kidnappings permit despite years of military operations against Boko Hassan and its Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) offshoot in northeastern Nigeria. While the immigrant has weakened since its peak, both groups continue to stage attacks on civilians, schools and security forces across Borno, and neighboring states. The abduction was followed by another attack in nearby Laos on June 28, where 36 students and a teacher also remain captive. Last month, authorities secured the release of schoolchildren abducted by

gunners from schools in southwest Ovo state after nearly two months in captivity.

A police spokesperson said the military is "no top of the situation" but declined further comment, directing inquiries to the military. A spokesperson for the military did not respond to requests for comment.

Tiananmen vigil organizers arrested

Two former organizers of Hong Kong's annual night in remembrance of the 1969 Tiananmen Square crackdown were convicted Friday for what the government-approved judges ruled was inciting others to overthrow China's communist leadership.

Lee Chenh-san and Chow Hong-tung, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, were

charged in 2023 with inciting subversion under a China-imposed national security law that has effectively crushed the city's previously thriving pro-democracy movement. They face a maximum prison term of 10 years. The alliance was also found guilty.

The three judges ruled that the alliance's call to "end one-party dictatorship" aimed to end the ruling Communist Party's leadership status under the constitution, and that the "end" in the phrase carried the meaning of "overthrowing" and "undermining".

In the verdict, they wrote that the defendants persisted in the call after the law's introduction, neglecting that it was in breach of the constitution, which states the party's leadership is a defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. That kids within "other unlawful means" under the security law, the judges said. The defendants "intentionally encouraged supporters of the

alliance to wait for the right time to carry out the goal to 'end one-party dictatorship' by unlawful means." See said.

"They did not genuinely believe their words and deeds had not violated the national security law. They just refused to pull back from the break," wrote the judges, who insisted they weren't tired because of political views.

Israel investigates 2024 killing of Hind Rajab. Gaza child who called for help

GARA TRUM, A1

food relief group World Central Kitchen.

The decision on the Hind cases follows intense international public scrutiny, including a Washington Post investigation and Academy Award-nominated film.

The Israeli findings describe the “telephone call to rescue authorities, in which the two girls participated and later Hind alone.” Over 3½ hours, Layan and Hind, surrounded by bodies, pleaded with rescuers over the phone to help. Layan died during the string of phone calls leaving the youngest to place calls by herself before she died.

The IDF said after the killings in 2024 that its forces were “not present near the vehicle or within the firing range” of the car in question, according to a preliminary investigation. Washington Post reporting found that those statements contradicted Israel forensics evidence.

In a port to social media Thursday, Wosam Hamada, Hindi's mother said that Israel opening an investigation is a “long-overdue step” but is “not justice.” Overlaid on a photo of Hind in a dress, she wrote, “this is a response to my daughter's killers,” calling for an independent, transparent inquiry instead of a “closed military investigation.”

“Hind was a frightened and injured child, trapped inside the car among the bodies of her family members, pleading with the world to save her. . . . Why was there no investigation when Hind was begging for help?” she wrote.

“Hind is not just a news story or a case respected because of international pressure. Hind is my daughter, and I will continue to demand the truth and justice for her, my family, and the paramedics who tried to save her.”

Hind was 5 at the time she was killed, Hamada said. Earlier Washington Post stories reported she was 6, heard on conversations with emergency dispatchers at the time.

Since the start of the war, the Israeli military said, its independent fact-finding mechanism has taken under review about 150 “exceptional incidents that

occurred during combat,” most of which remain open.

More than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel's military response to the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and militants. Israeli strikes in Gaza continue, with the ministry reporting 17 dead and about 50 injured in recent days.

In addition to the Hamada case, the IDF on Wednesday announced it would open a criminal investigation into a March 2025 incident in which IDF forced the police to be shot at a corner that included a fire truck, ambulances, and a Palestinian U.S. vehicle, killing 10 people, including paramedics. “After the incident, the troops decided to crush the vehicles and to cover the bodies with metal mesh,” the Israel military

said.

Israel said it would not launch criminal investigations into the November 2023 killing of two Middecent Sana Frontiers employees in Gaza City, the deaths of two MDP employees in a February 2024 strike on a building in Khan Yousin or the killing of seven World Central Kitchen employees in April 2024.

The “IDF mistakenly believed that the vehicles contained Hamas military operations and therefore struck the vehicles,” the statement read, in reference to the Israeli strikes that killed the World Central Kitchen workers.

The announcement came amid ongoing fighting in Gaza. Israel's continued attacks have become a source of contention with the U.S. as its negotiators try to break a stalemate over President Donald Trump's

nearly year-old peace plan.

According to Gaza health authorities, more than 1,200 Palestinians have been killed by Israel's forces since a troop agreement last October, beginning with the release of all Hamas-held hostages and a nominal ceasefire.

For most of this year, progress toward reconstituting a Palestinian government in Gaza and other aspects of the plan have been stalled. Israel refuses to halt attacks or withdraw troops that occupy more than 60 percent of Gaza and are set to remain until Hamas forces in the rest of the territory is completely disarmed, while Hamas continues to insist that Israel must end the strikes before the group begins demilitarizing.

In talks in Jerusalem on Monday between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jared Radziwi, a U.S. negotiator and

Trump's son-in-law, the U.S. side said Israel is permitted under the plan to defend itself against planned attacks or “stimulate” threats.

Trump's plan also calls for amnesty to be offered to militants who lay down their arms, including those who participated in the Oct. 5 attack.

U.S. officials question whether many of this year's strikes meet those criteria and said that at Monday's talks, it was agreed that a special international commission would be set up to judge whether the standards are being met.

Since then, however, Israeli attacks appear to have escalated. On Tuesday, a strike on a month only reportedly killed seven people, including a child, according to local hospitals.

On Wednesday, at least 10 people were reported killed in

two separate strikes, one at a police station and another that the Israel Defense Forces said killed four Hamas commanders “involved in advancing terror attacks against IDF troops,” one of which it said was involved in October 2023 Hamas attacks.

“The problem is [Israel] agreed to all these things last year,” said an official with the Trump-appointed Board of Peace, which he created to implement the peace plan.

“They seem to be unable to show anything that might look like a concession or softening,” especially in the lead-up to Israeli decision in October, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations.

White House moves to strip bar association's accreditation power

Trump and others

have accused the

ARA of liberal bias

BY PANNELES DWUGAR-GARNER AND MARK BERMAN

The Trump administration's ongoing deal with the American Bar Association has come to a head, as the Education Department threatens to strip the organization of its power to oversee law school programs across the country.

Career staffers at the department recently recommended the ARA lose the federal recognition needed to operate at more or less in a report on the public Friday, staffers at the department said the ARA, which accredits nearly 200 law schools had failed to keep both sides of its house "separate and independent" undermining its effectiveness as an accreditor.

The association is both an accreditor for law schools and a trade group for legal professionals. As an accreditor, ARA oversees the quality of law school education and determines whether law schools not affiliated with a university can accept federal student

President Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers have accused the ARA of having a liberal bias and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, pushing a political agenda in law schools. Conservatives have also criticized the ARA, which has a credited law schools since 1932, for having a monopoly on oversight of law school education.

The Education Department declined to comment.

David Rafter, assistant secretary for postsecondary education, told the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the recommendation, "We have said many times that accreditation, in general, operates like a cartel. When there is no competition, accreditors feel free to inject their own political preferences, their own ideologies into the work that they do."

The 2020 accreditation council chair, Melissa Hart, told The Washington Post the council is confident it complies with the

In a report, staffers at the department said the ARA had failed to keep both sides of its house "separate and independent," undermining its effectiveness as an accreditor.

Education Department's requirements for accreditors and federal laws.

"The customers produced by Council-accredited law schools are unmatched, and we continue the important work of accrediting law schools as our recognition process proceeds," she said in a statement.

The Education Department has approved the association to accredit law schools in 2015, a five-year designation that is up for review next month.

The federal government relies on accreditors, little-known but powerful organizations, to deem college-werdler to participate in the federal student aid program and to review educational quality.

The report comes as the Trump administration seeks to reshape college accreditations, a system it has accused of being captured by liberal politics. The Education Department has proposed regulations to encourage intellectual diversity and increase competition among accreditors. The proposed rule also calls on accreditors and trade associations to be separate to prevent creditors of interest.

Treasures have measured between the ARA and the Trump administration, on multiple fronts, including in court Top Justice Department officials, have expended taken aim at the legal group.

Bonds wrote to the ARA last year that the group was biased

in favor of Democratic and said the administration would not allow it to help set judicial nominees.

Also last year, Todd Blanche—then the Justice Department's No. 1 official, who has since replaced Bonds as attorney general—said that the agency would no longer pay for its employees to travel to the ARAs events or allow them to even attend such functions.

The ARA has also sued the administration, including in a case challenging, Trump's campaign to crack down on permanent law firms.

Trump joined executive-orders last year taking aim at several fronts that had hired the perceived enemies or took on

ones he disliked. Four of the firms that were targeted must to fight these orders, and all of them were court orders that led Trump's sanctions.

The ARA filed its own lawsuit challenging Trump's actions, saying it had to act to protect its members "and the rule of law itself." The case is ongoing, and a trade order this year rejected the Trump administration's effort to have the lawsuit thrown out.

An independent advisory board will meet next month to consider the Education Department's recommendation and decide the ARAs fate as an accreditor. A senior Education Department official will then weigh in.

"We look forward to the opportunity to address any misconceptions and clarify the record of our operating hearing," Hart said. "We've confident the Council will address any concerns the Department may have at that hearing."

If the advisory board votes that the government should withdraw its recognition of the ARA as an accreditor and that decision is upheld by a senior department official, the ARA can then appeal to Education Secretary Louis McMillan.

If McMillan denies the appeal, law schools affiliated with a university could use their school's accreditor, while unaffiliated schools will have to find a new accreditor.

U.S. stocks trim losses, even as the bond market applies more pressure

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks trim Friday and trimmed their loss es from a shake week. That was over. Gently the bond market was low. The U.S. stock is a Wall Street's union, command major and continued to add pressure.

The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent by just 16 second gain in the six days since setting its all-time high last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped .07 points, or 1 percent, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.6 percent.

Rose House helped lead the

war and rose 6.4 percent after reporting, stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. CEO Jim Conroy said it saw both an increase in new customers and more in lower from existing customers, while the off-price retailer at the same time benefited from re-funds on tariffs.

Most U.S. companies have reported bigger profits for the spring than analysts expected, which has helped drive stocks to records recently. Bonds presented to follow the path of corporate profits over the long term.

Hopes for continued profit growth got a boost from a per-timinary report by S&P Global

suggesting growth for U.S. business activity but a 25-month high. But the other big lever that helps set stock prices, interest rates, has been much shaken.

After roaring through the moment and then bombing, the looting the week's surprise move by the U.S. Treasury Department to repurchase more U.S. government bonds, yields climbed further on Friday.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 8.75 percent from 4.85 percent late Thursday. Its back above its level from before the Treasury market made its move, which analysts said at the time would likely have only a temporary effect. The 10-year

Treasury yield, which the Red is also targeting with its bond expectations, also rose and is more de-kgdled level since 2007.

Contributing to Friday's gains for bond yields was continued uncorrelated about when the war with bars will allow oil makers to freely exit the Persian Gulf again. That caused oil prices to rise, which affects Treasury yields because they increase wretzes about inflation.

The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil settled at $167.50, up 5.8 percent.

Besides inflation, concerns about the law strong, later for the U.S. government have also been existing yields upward. Higher

yields can slow the economy and subtract prices for all kinds of investments.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bousack move to try to get longer-term yields lower in Mexico. Cryptocurrencies often rise when interest rates are lower and more money is flowing through the financial system. Hopes for legislation in Washington to help the crypto industry have also helped it.

Mexico has climbed above $77,000 from less than $65,000 a week ago. That helped evoke in the crypto industry lead Wall Street. Robinhood Markets jumped 317 percent, and Coin

The price of gold also climbed and family tapped $4,500 per ounce from less than $4,440 a week earlier. The Treasury Department's buyback announcement has helped weaken the U.S. dollar's value against other currencies, which tends to give public price a boost.

Citadel sheds over 100% of portfolio

Billionaire investor Ken Griffin Citadel has shed more than 65 percent of both from the original portfolio of Leopold Aschentermore's Situation. A Insurance that it records has faded, according to a letter to investors seen by Reuters on Friday.

Situational, an Advanced hedge fund runs for former OpenSire Insurance Aschentermore, sold the bulk of its stock bets to Citadel last month after heavy losses in its rock holdings forced it to unwind most of its public value for the previous year.

Citadel has since completed nearly 100 block trade trading over $4 billion in market value as it shed positions in the 1980s, when Griffin said it included the largest intruder block trades of the year in its different names. The firm, which has about $77 billion of assets, has been re-entered, declined to continue.

Citadel is one of the world's most profitable and largest hedge funds, and has held a reputation for making significant during periods of market

After a sell-off in Al stocks, the Situational Awareness portfolio had 67 percent of its value in July, and was forced to unwind most of its $49 billion public equities book.

Tesla recalls 4 million vehicles

Tesla and other Chinese cartraders are making a major result of more than 4 million vehicles over safety concerns much related to their door handles, according to Chinese authorities on Friday.

The U.S. cartraders is recalling about 2.98 million China-made and imported EVs including Model 1, Model T, Model X and Model S over door handle

China has stopped up scrutiny recently on holders, as Tesla, car door handles following EV accidents in the country and elsewhere, in which cars hidden electronic doors failed and stopped people inside.

In extreme situations, such as a severe collision that comes on electrical system failure, the car handles could hinder car users from quickly opening the doors to escape, or prevent reactors outside the car from gaining access, the notice said.

Trump hits pause on a free-trade beef

PAPEREDENT DORALD TRUMP Papers to have caught a case of the most remote ahead of the next term elections. He announced on Friday that for the next three months, the United States will suspend traffic on 900,000 metric tons of ground beef imports, adding that the most will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices.

The move is a brief admission from the Trump administration that tariffs raise prices. Instead, that is their perception that the United States imports 1 per g. 18.6 percent tax on beef once they exceed a country-specific quota. If Friday's announcement materializes into real policy, it could provide relief to American consumers, paying about 50% for the amount they paid a decade ago for ground beef.

Liberalising trade is a better way to slow price increases than possibly some-pasture. Last fall, the Trump administration launched an investigation into the country's four biggest meat-packers, alleging anticompetitive practices. But downgrading companies run on notoriously slim margins. Last

This isn't beef importers' first tariff reprieve. In February, the president on-

empted beef in his announcement of a temporary global 50 percent tariff and expanded department import quota by $6,000 metric tons. Before Trump posted his latest plan, the Agriculture Department was already projecting record imports this year.

The president sold tariffs as a way to bring into to the US. But voters are reeling from infusions, and Trump's border team might it hard for him to avoid blame when prices rise. Hence his repeated attempts to post back tariffs on key products for political reasons.

Trump's announcement is already meeting opposition from U.S. numbers and their political allies, who claim tariffs are needed to help the industry rebuild dismantled U.S. cattle levels. Because and drought have made it difficult to expand production.

But American cattle producers also need to be able to compete in a global market. Demand remains evident in the US; numbers continue to reap high prices.

A cancer vaccine interrupts a technology backlash

PAPEREDENT DORALD APPEARED favorable pressure backlash... witness the resistance to covid vaccines and the overall against data. When the new technology package life-improving fresh that are too miraculous to invest. This week's triumph of a vaccine to fight skin cancer, jointly produced by Moderna and Merck has been a lot of hope for the new affected by a disease that afflicts more than 100,000 Americans annually and falls more than 8,000.

The two US companies announced on Wednesday that their cancer vaccine succeeded in a Phase 5 trial involving more than 1,000 patients, completing their stock prices. Details of the results are not yet public, but in 2022, results from a smaller Phase 2 trial showed that the vaccine, combined with an existing immunotherapy drug, reduced the risk of skin cancers returning or death by 44 percent compared with the drug alone.

This week's results are a proof of concept for an approach to cancer treatment that has been under development for decades. The idea is to remove tumors from a patient and sequence their genomes so that scientists can identify the proteins of marked cells. These

then serve as the basis for a vaccine designed specifically for that individual. The vaccine can train the patient's immune system to recognize new cancer cells and stop them before they multiply again.

The treatment is a testament to recent advances in genomics, computing — genetic code contains a huge amount of data for computers to process — and mRNA technology that enables the specific development of personalized therapies.

The power of science often isn't viable until multiple innovations are layered on top of each other. In the 2000s, each step in the cancer vaccines development would have proved technologically unatrematable; the Moderna-Merck trial shows that today, such immunizations can be produced in past six weeks.

Soon enough, scientists will learn

whether this strategy can be used against other forms of cancer. Find data for a vaccine targeting kidney cancer are expected by early 2027. Studies in Moderna and long cancers are also underway.

There remains from the breakthrough come to mind. The first is the critical role of market incentives in generating medical advances, markets this week are richly rewarding Moderna and Merck for their accomplishment. The second is the importance of government investment in basic research, which often leads to discoveries with practical benefits that are impossible to predict in academic labs.

The final lesson is the folly of defending research for ideological reasons. Last year, the White House canceled grants for certain mRNA research because of the Trump administration's publicized hang-ups about the covid vaccine.

Technological progress has always brought risks as well as rewards, but the risks tend to receive certain omissions. There are few problems that human ingenuity, unloaded in free markets and investment in science, can't mitigate or solve.

Instead, the project is demonstrated a path for a new product, which, if running to restore industrial jobs is popular in the abstract, but the reality on the ground is more complicated, even in a state Trump won by more than 30 points.

Last year, Oklahoma Attorney General Gontmar Drummond (R), who is running for governor, asked a federal court to block construction of the 100-acre development. He was lagging into insane maps in 2004, and the court town outside Tulsa. In June, the town's council issued a temporary moratorium on the smelter project despite a direct plea from the president to approve it without delay.

Though the plant would create about 1,000 permanent manufacturing jobs, locals reasonably fear that pollution could harm residents and nearby agriculture. Allocations, reaching federal environmental fallout. Others are concerned that the energy-intensive facility would compete for electricity resources and lack up manpower bills, a familiar point of contention in the fight over data centers.

But unlike data centers, which are being built to satisfy exploding market demand, the aluminum smelter could face economic headwinds. It should be prugged up by hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies and incentives from both the federal government and the state — a classic exercise in industrial policy.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gontmar Drummond at a forum for gubernatorial candidates in Tulsa on July 25.

The US used to be one of the world's top producers of aluminum, but high energy costs have driven smelting capacity to other countries in the past two decades. No aluminum smelter has been built in the US since 1980.

The administration has argued that the data plant is necessary for national security. But the largest source of U.S. aluminum imports is Canada, not China. The US and Canadian aluminum markets have been interviewed because of their competitive advantages. Canada's low cost of energy gives its manufacturers an edge on primary smelting, while U.S. manufacturers have focused on recycling the metal.

Trump disrupted that balance by imposing a 50 percent tariff on Canadian aluminum products last year in an effort to boost US manufacturing. The war with Iran also increased the cost of the metal by disrupting the supply of aluminum products from U.S. cities in the Middle East.

On the campaign road, the president excited his base with the prospect of bringing back the working class manufacturing economy of the 2025 century. But as Oklahomaans are notating, heart industry — for all its benefits — brings costs as well. Fans of industrial policy might need to recalibrate their ambitions.

Michigan's pass! Call policy gets natural grades

Regarding George F. Wills Aug. 16 column, "Michigan swaps free-semester freshman grades for participation together"

The student to start my senior year at the University of Michigan, where the school's administration has just approved a plan for its College of Literature, Science, and the Arts to suspend all the benefits to increasing freshmen in their best semester.

This move is deeply confusing. There was a consensus in the making, one which pooled that universities had to develop, and that students were being notified. And 1 agree. This makes Michigan's recent decision all the more upsetting is me, both as a student and as a subscriber to the idea that schools should be places of fiction, discomfort and power.

In the public's reveal, the university cited "mental health" as a reason for the change, claiming that the youngest system would help students "acclimate to the demands of college" while allowing them to try different courses without fearing the "long-term consequences" of a hard pace. In its unveiling of this new policy, Michigan's administration cites real problems. It is true that some young people are going through a mental health crisis. It is also the case that the transition into college living is among the most emotionally uncomfortable parts of the American collegiate repertoire. This should so-called in, however, in health a solution — in fact, it's bound to make things worse.

Many young people are eager to take on new challenges primarily because they know that it is a part of learning and growing up. My school's administration, however, doesn't seem to agree. And as long as it opts for pupils in to the path of least resistance, it is likely that Michigan's students will lose — unless, of course, they are up against a Buckeye

Makes Absence, don't drive. Michigan

George F. Will contends that the University of Michigan's decision to adopt practical grading for free-semester freshmen willNO eliminate students and delay their adaptation to college-level work. The university makes it well help students "acclimate to the demands of college" and help "curb the mental health crisis" afflicting college campuses. The evidence does not support other perspectives.

Practical grading may temporarily reduce some students' motivation, effort and learning, but students adapt quickly when regular grading evenness. As a recent study by professors at C. pencegale, Marjoram School concluded, practical grading in the first year "has no significant effect on students' later academic achievements".

Will and the California Institute of Technology, two of the country's most competitive and academically rigorous universities, have similar policies. Their graduates fare at least as well as their grades' pool.

Practical policies also are unlikely to enhance students' mental health. Though some students may find the transition to college less stressful, others will shift their competence focus to securing their advertising, landing covered research slots or finding other ways to build their revenue. And apart fail grading likely does little to mitigate more consequential stressors, such as family and relationship issues, financial concerns and the always on culture of social media.

Given the present political climate, we think Michigan should have left well enough alone. Its new policy benefits its

students little and leaves the university open to criticism from those who, like Will, are it as more codifying of a grievance that has already been codified too much.

George F.

That subject is the mental health of college students.

Success is the second-leading cause of death among college students. Still, harm is also too common. MIT implemented practical grading for freshmen in 1949 to keep of existing academic pressures and mitigating the tragedy of student self-harm. Ready for years later, that practice remains in place.

Practical grading will not solve the mental health problem on college campuses, but it might help. No one should trivialize the problem of mental health on college campuses.

AI for college admissions? Let students know.

On 10, and 17, I was write and submit college essays that are supposed to sound unmistakable like me. Sometimes to that process, I may be asked to explain where my own work ended and any AI assistance began. I think that's a reasonable ask. I want to know whether the college on the other end is willing to answer a version of the same question.

I don't see artificial intelligence as something inherently sinister in college admissions. But I worry that an AI summary might be the only version of my do's a human seriously considers. Applicants should know whether that is happening.

But college using AI to review applications should disclose that before students apply. If AI is used only to sort documents or use of substances, college should disclose that. If AI assess results, contractors, environmentalists, drug discrepancies or otherwise influence evaluation, college should disclose that. So, if an automated system introduces a factual error about an applicant — materially a citizen, grade or transcript — there should be a way to correct that.

A college application is already an extraordinary exercise in disclosure. Students hand over grades, activities, recommendations, family information and return that can contain some deeply personal stories. And colleges are entitled to set rules about how much AI helped us produce those materials. But they should also disclose how they use AI to evaluate it.

OPINION

The old-school tradition making a comeback at the ballpark

While at Busch Stadium last week watching me beloved St. Louis Cardinals with my father, I noticed two 20-something stakes doing an unusual thing, not looking at their phones. In fact, they didn't seem to have their phones out at all, instead, they were both holding pens. They were watching the game, mouths and after each plan, they would write something down. It wasn't difficult to figure out what they were doing. I was, after all, doing the same thing.

They were keeping score.

Keeping score — or "keeping book," as my grandfather called it — is a grand baseball tradition. I learned it from my father, whose father taught him, whose mother taught him, which makes it sound more complicated than it is. When you keep score at a baseball game, you are simply writing down all the things that happen, harder by better, even pitch by pitch. That might seem strange in this day and age, when every pitch of every game is chronicled online through MLB.com, where you can even find the volume, break and open one of the phones. That information is helpful — as a the-hand baseball fan, I use it all the time.

But in the moment, in the stands at a game, it is also beside the point. Rooting a baseball game, using a pen and a score book, and hopefully with a cool beverage and someone you can cheaply shoot next to you, is a way to capture history — and the fact that you were present for it. Filmmaker Ken Burns once said that to score a game is to reward the sort of "positioning reaction", which is a wonderful way to put it. It's no wonder (Dwight D. Eisenhower, Barbara Bush glinted in the practice, and Tom Banks does, too.

I have been keeping score at games since I was little. I remember looking in the bleachers at age 8, trying to figure out how to spell "blockball." But I couldn't have told you why scorekeeping mattered until I moved away from home.

While being in Los Angeles in the late '60s, I returned to the blizzard for a weekend to visit Busch with my dad. When he arrived, he had a gift for me. a C.R. Peterson Eucommuter score book, helpfully labeled "A Complete Record of Game and Player." It was the same model that my mother had used to score my Little League games. "Make sure you bring it with you when you come back next year," he said. And I did.

Every year after that, too. We even got to a game in 2020, the covid year. We watched — and I scored — from a cowling bar across the street from the stadium. I have kept score at every game I have been to since 1998, and I have every filled-in book stored in a closet that gets a little more full every year. Those books are a chronicle of baseball history. More important, they're a chronicle of my life.

Each page contains, obviously, a complete record of game and player. I've seen, and can go back and find, Greg Maddox and Barry Busch and Albert Poplin and Ricky Henderson. I wrote down what

The author's score books and bobbleheads.

Dennis Martinez, who was born in 1953, did in 1994, and I wrote down what Kirsten Griffin, who was born in 2000, did in 2020. But on the side of the page, in the "Review/Other" section, in the most vital part, which is who I went to the game with.

Go back for enough, and you can find that old friend from high school I lost touch with, an old girlfriend which shrug great these days, that beloved uncle from Philadelphia who has been gone for two decades — people I shared a few hours with, outside, watching, shooting, talking about whatever, doing all the things that make going to a baseball game so wonderful. You can find my dad's name there, many, many times. These days you can also find my son's. I have to make a special notation for that, he and Dad have the same name.

A score book gives us what our computers and social media posts can't; an actual physical record of what we did, where we did it and who we did it with. A memento, which is to do a memory. It's not something I have to upload to the cloud. It's not something I have to subscribe to. It's not something I have to hope isn't bought by some private equity firm that will one day liquidate the software that hosts it. It's a book. With names. Or people I saw, or people I knew, of a life I have lived.

No wonder young adults — the ones I saw at Busch Stadium told me gleefully they were already on their second score books — are embracing something so old-fashioned. Raised us an internet built-in variant, they are seeking out the analog, whether it's vinyl, or hardcover books, or even a good old-fashioned diary. They understand what is done by listening on line. It said this business: In this age of digital superannuence, you can only really count on things you can build in your own hands.

Life thus at us fast, and it fades into the past even faster. A score book is a way to slow down, to reflect, to chronicle and, someday, to remember. Sending, my father will not be with me, and my sons will have moved away. But I'll have that book, and their names, along with so many others, to look at — and return to.

FARRED ZAKARIA

The right targets Helen of Troy. But the real transformation is Odysseus.

Finally went to see Christopher Nolan's new movie, "The Odyssey," to watch a summer blockbuster — and it more than delivered. I didn't intend to comment on the various controversies surrounding the movie, from the attacks that it is woke to the claims that it is historically inaccurate. (For goodbye) sake, it is a nearly 3,000-year-old man that is filled with gods and goddesses, conveyed giants and magics! But Ken Kinnix commentary on the movie did lead me to think about the broader issues the movie raises, which strike me as interesting and important.

Klein argues that while the critique of Nolan's "Odyssey" as woke — because he and a Black actress as Helen of Troy — is trivial and superficial, the movie is liberal in a more profound sense. Nolan fundamentally replaces the morality of the ancient world, in which cosqueat and victory were celebrated undoubtedly, with a morality that is most-connected. While Homer's Odysseus was constantly landed for his clever, gullied ways, Nolan's Odysseus is banished by the ravages of the war and by his own deceit that was at the centre of the victory — the Trojan horse.

Beginning with Christianity, the West gradually replaced the pagan ethic of naked conquest and domination with one centered on universal human dignity, compassion and empathy. "Blessed are the seeds, for they shall inherit the earth," says the Gospel are being, in Matthew — words no Homer: here would ever utter.

For Christian values are lasting a revival these days, as the populist right, often joined by a new cadre of rock fellomanies, looks back with admiration to the story words in which strength, domination and victory mattered more than empathy and equality.

For Donald Trump, "winning" is all that matters, justifying all means. He uses the word necessarily. In a "60 Minutes" interview in 2016, when asked about his denouncing comments about Christine Ekberg Reid, the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, Trump and simply: "It doesn't matter. We won." In his bestselling book "Socialist Empathy," that dead — one of Elon Musk's favorite writers — argues that the West is declining because it came too much about too many outsiders, minorities, even its fans.

In fact, the greatest moral achievement of the West over the last two millennia, and especially since the Enlightenment, has been the expansion of the circle of people who are considered fully human, having equal dignity and equal rights. We have come to recognize the humanity of people once dismissed as slaves, roots and second-class citizens — foreigners, women, racial minorities, people with differing sexual orientations. These ideas spread throughout the world because they are, in the world of the Declaration of Independence, "subversive." This is one of the West's greatest achievements, not a decadent sickness.

But there is a serious critique buried beneath the crude MAGA attacks. It is one that German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche leveled, and it is being rejoined by some of the sick hero today. Nietzsche worried that Christianity's egalitarian ideas made us lose likely to be wildly ambitious, risk-sodging and reckless. Here we become so humane that we have lost the primal urges that made us heroic!

We should not contaminate civilizations built in blood, yet want conquest simply because they produced heroes. But they built more than that. The pyramids, the Gothic cathedrals, the verages of discovery, the Industrial Revolution — all emerged from societies animated by ambition, confidence and willingness to sacrifice. They often came with hierarchy and a single-minded focus on greatness. Some of populism's appeal today lies less in specific policies than in a promise to reduce national greatness — to build, to achieve, to win.

But must we choose between questions and goodness? After all, Western nations in the 19th and 20th centuries were the most blatant societies in human history in their day. And they were hardly timid. They built railroads across

Nolan's Odysseus is haunted by the ravages of the war and his own deceit that was at the centre of the victory.

continents, abolished slavery, industrialized the world, built the atomic bomb, rebuilt Europe and Japan, landed men on the moon and created the interest. Think of America of the mid-20th century, the country that created the modern welfare state, debated fascism, built highways and airports, battled Communism and began to dismantle the legacy of slavery. These were civilizations of immense ambition.

Liberals should not apologize for believing that every human being processes equal dignity. The world's great liberal democracies managed to expand our moral universe while also expanding our physical universe. The challenge is to recover that older liberal tradition. This spirit will be surely needed as we build out what may be the most transformative technology ever, artificial intelligence, because we will need to make sure that the awesome power is rooted in a system of ethics and values that prises human dignity and equality — that these values that Christianity pioneered and the West enhanced so powerfully.

We don't need to go back to Homer. Recovering the spirit of Hamilton Roosevelt would be enough.

Liberia is latest African nation to take U.S. deportees

Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole

By MARK BANOREREAU Associated Press

DALLAS, BENGAL—Twenty migrants deported from the United States arrived in Liberia on Thursday, the first group of an eventual 1,100 deportees that the West African country uses it will receive from the U.S. under a new deal.

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

An estimated 15 of those agreements, usually half the total, are with African countries and the Liberia-U.S. agreement involves one of the largest numbers of such third-country deportations.

Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole to indirectly return some asylum-seekers to countries they find. Authorities in Liberia have said the deportees being welcomed in their country can seek asylum there or leave it they choose.

Here's what to know about the deportations:

Why some African countries accept deportees

Other African countries that have received third-country deportees from the U.S. include South Sudan, Kuwait, Rwanda, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Congo, Uganda, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic.

Syria, the Ghana and Sierra Leone, are accepting deportees from their regions — in this case West Africa.

Many of the African countries approving the deals are among the worst hit by the Trump administration's policies, including on trade, aid and migration. A good number of them also have authoritarian governments, making questions about the lack of accountability and due process to ensure the protection of the deported rights.

Details of most of the deals are never made public and some of the African nations, the Ghana's government, have defended their actions as having been taken on

humanitarian grounds.

The Trump administration had spent at least $60 million to deport about 300 migrants to countries other than their own, according to a February report by the Democratic staff of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. More countries have entered the deal since then.

Congress President Félix Tshisekedi has described his country's agreement as an "act of goodwill between partners," without financial compensation. The deal came as Washington increased pressure on neighboring Rwanda over its support for $820 rebels, a dynamic analysis say may help expanse Congo's willingness to cooperate.

Many are asylum-seekers

Early flights to Africa included people that the U.S. said had convictions for serious crimes. But

Guards stand outside a building near Roberts International Airport near Monrovia, Liberia, on Thursday as U.S. deportees arrive.

later transfers have included asylum-seekers with U.S. court orders protecting them from being returned to their home countries because they could face persecution or torture.

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

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

Immigration lawyer Alma David called that an effective legal "loophole," caring deporters can be left with "impossible chance" — remain in an unfamiliar country with little support or return to a country a U.S. judge found unsafe.

U.S. policy says that when a receiving government gives blanket diplomatic assurances that deportees won't face persecution there, they can be removed without additional procedures, David told The Associated Press.

Conditions vary in different countries

Some of the deportees have resourced being shackled while some were held in full-body restraint strashjackets called the WRAP during flights that can sometimes last more than 30 hours.

Their conditions in the different countries vary. In Sierra Leone, the government hired private contractor Kareadi Solimano to provide housing, food and healthcare.

In Congo, the International Organization for Migration said it has provided "humanitarian assistance" and offered assisted voluntary return to the migrants' home countries. But deportees told the AP their movements were tightly controlled. They were housed behind locked gates, could not leave alone and were allowed out roughly once a week accompanied by 8/10 staff.

In Equatorial Guinea, the AP found deportees confined to a hotel owned by the family of President Teodoro Obiang Tigrama Mbarango. Migrants said they were barred from hosting, had known access to medical care and faced repeated pressure to return home. Twenty-five of at least 32 people held there had been sent to their home countries by May.

Deportations have led to lawsuits and human rights concerns

Rights advocates say the third-country deportation program risks violating non-retroalment, the principle barring governments from sending people to places where they face persecution or torture.

An international coalition used Ghana in June on behalf of 27 deportees, alleging most were quickly sent to their home countries, despite U.S. protection orders, and that some were held under armed guard in military camps, hotels and airport cells.

Rights lawyers have also brought a case against Equatorial Guinea before the African Commission on Human and People's Rights, alleging deportees were returned to countries where they faced persecution despite U.S. court protections.

5 books to read this fall, from Marlon James to Joe Biden

BY HELLEN, ETALIN

Associated Press

Book lovers this fall can look forward to a wealth of fiction, biographies, memoirs, poetry collections and topical prediction. Here are five upcoming works you'll likely be hearing about.

"The Disappearsers," Marlon James

Marlon James' fantasy series "Dark Star" was a showcase for his extraordinary and boundless imagination. In "The Disappearsers," he returns to his native Jamaica and to the murderous reality of

his Booker Prize-winning "A Brief History of Seven Killings." The new novel, boughted for the Booker, is framed around the heretofore bearing in 1949 of eight gay men who had been rehearsing for a play. James weaves together humor, popular culture, companion and some very hard experience. "I refuse to believe there is any lesson to be learned from suffering an atrocity," James writes, "other than always he no guard for the ways people turn on you." (Sept. 1)

"American Scoundrel," Kai Bird and Susan Goldmark

Kai Bird is best known as the co-author with Martin J. Sherwin of "American Prometheus," the biography of nuclear scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer that became the basis for Christopher Nolan's Oscar winner "Oppenheimer." In "American Scoundrel," he and Susan Goldmark (his wife) trace the influence of the late political operator Roy Cohn, from his early years as the top aide to Sen. Joseph

Weezer's latest album is on the nose

MARTIN J. SHERWIN, TV MANAGER

BY RON HARRIS

Weezer, kings of naval power pop, released their 20th studio album on Friday. It is also known as "Weezer (Gold Album)," continuing a tradition of self-titled, color-absurdled records. And rest assured, it delivers the band's signature energy for the faithful.

"That said, no boundaries are pushed here. But really, does Weezer need to push boundaries?" It should be acceptable by now — 30-plus years removed from the destroyed inventory of 1994's "Blue Album" — that the talented founsome, with lead vocalist Rivers Cosmoe at the helm, does what it does best. Clock in and into.

A retrospective mode for Weezer

MICHAEL KRYZNER (TECH) REI

Weezer career journey: 'Somebody hasn't gotten a big nice happy pill! Make me feel dumb it! Just can't seem to feel the thrill!'

Curious and the boys have made it, and their 'Gold Album' is good. Sure, there are little tracks like 'CLEO' and '50-return.' Which went exactly there - with its redundant book and shallow problem. But even those tanning-are overpowered by similar efforts, such as 'We Might as Well Be Strangers' featuring the 60-country indie rock band Refounder. Something has been lost, and Curons stage holistically about it in the lament. 'Happy birthday! Thanks for the Valium.'

There's a pattern to the Weezer song matrix: Smoothing awkward in said, Curons stage his way toward the predicament, and the band breaks through it all with a furtive blast of memorable books

and tranty chord progressions. 'We Might as Well Be Strangers,' is a solid song and a perfect example, with its examination of a relationship giving way to nicely-scoring guitar work. It's one of the top tracks.

Weezer has always one foot in the room of stardom and the other waiting outside, laughing about how they've been accepted. They've long taken wry-lines at the same machine (think 2016) 'Rising' for a duck Band,' or that album's 'The LA Sound'!, while bushing in the ability that a band of their 36 was ever allowed in to begin with. On their 'Gold Album,' fans of Weezer will appreciate their consistency and longevity.

That's because Weezer is in a retrospective mode now: With inning, Still rocking, Still booing. Their self-described meta songs about aging will probably say not fine.

Former president's memoir is one of fall's most highly anticipated releases

ROHMAN (TECH) REI

McCarlin is his membership of a young Donald Trump 'American decanate!' draws upon government documents, archival material and dozens of interviews, including, to the authors' entries. Trump, who 'sauvered our cold calls on his personal old-to-served occasions,' Bird writes in the acknowledgments section. Trump was 'grus lore, it not exactly forthcoming about his memories' and declined to meet in person, because, he told them, 'You'll be president! I've ever been I have China calling, I have Russia calling, I cannot do it' (bapt. 1)

'Switzy,' Emma Clive

Emma Clive has well established her mastery of inhabiting the abounded mind, of dramatizing youthful transience, aspiration and deception, most famously in her celebrated debut, 'The Girls' (to 'Switzy' 'laught') at for the Booker Prize. Clive gives us a retired businessman with falling mental capacity on costs to an assisted dying facility in Zurich. Clive breaks up the story into brief, affection passage on as a voice-'Valuable Person' reduces with his memories and concludes that 'He had always stayed on the surface. His whole life.' (bapt. 4)

'Music Against the Night,' Yiyun Li

'Music Against the Night' is Yiyun Li's sixth novel, and first book since last year's Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Things in Nature Merely Gives,' her unspurring memoir about the suicides of her

two sons. Li that time appears to have written a very different narrative - about a late 90th-century piano-prodigy whose hams barely outlasted his lifetime and the orphaned wanderer-musician who makes the ill-fated decision to marry him. The novel is a story

of music, but also a meditation on 'the night,' death - parents, friends, children, everybody 'It is despair that one must not submit to.' Li writes late in the book, adding a dark, Shakespearean warning. 'A child's death can never feel neutral to a parent; a child's death is a negative of time, which no longer has now and then, now and again, now and later, only now and now and now and now and now.' (Oct. 13)

'Premiere Me, America,' former president Joe Biden

Meriator, an elite president's best chance to define their legacy, although readers and critics may

have different priorities, whether Richard Nixon and Winniate or Bill Clinton and Monica Lawrande. Joe Biden will understandably want to focus on his debut on Donald Trump in 2016, the passage of landmark legislation on green energy and the appointment of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, Bennet Brown Judson, among other achievements. But the public will likely be seeking answers to more unwanted questions, notably the state of fishery health while he was in the White House, the handover to his dangerous debate against Trump and his decision soon after to call off his collection campaign.

Asking Erie D. RICH THOMAS Dear Erie: My parents get divorced when I was a toddler. Father remarried to a woman for about 12 years until another divorce. My relationship with the stepmother was unhealthy nearly the entire time they were married.

Now we usually exchange teria on McNair's Day and birthdays. But otherwise, we have no real connection in a meaningful way.

She does not have biological children or a current partner. Nothing has been spoken about this yet, however, I expect someone soon a conversation that happens about where she intends to spend her final days. She anticipates scouting domestic care because her mom did.

By this time, I'll have been the 'good one' for my mother and probably my father by handling their end-of-life matters. It is not something I look forward to doing again yet it looks like things may end up that way.

My question is about my former stepmom's finances. I have no information about her

financial situation except that she is expected to inherit a healthy share of her father's estate, as well. I.

I'd like to be prepared to talk to my stepmom if the conversation comes up about her end-of-life planning. I'd like to know how she is handling her estate, and what if anything is somewhat for me to inform. Is that rude? We have a cordial relationship, but it is not any type of real family love.

If would make the burden on my shoulders more palatable if I know if she makes me being in her life enough to direct interrelance to me or not. Can I still look at 'good (chance step)' son? If I ask about this?

— Good, don

Sara: These are two separate conversations. You're anticipating being called on to help and you want to make sure you're valued. But even if you are thought of to your stepmother's way, without doing a your relationship, you may still feel resentment.

So, start by initiating the end-of-life conversation yourself. If this is something you suspect will

be asked of you, but you don't know for sure, reach out and ask about it. On into this conversation having thought through what an ideal situation might look like for the two of you. It sounds like the ideal may not involve you in an active caregiving role.

Perhaps she's already made plans to move somewhere where they can use for her, or to him help. Perhaps she has a senior life manager. You may be assuming too much, And, if she hasn't thought through her options, you might find that you're best utilized as a sounding board and someone who can do research for her.

Dear Erie: My nephew is a fifth-grade who was called an ugly racial epithet by a doomass. His parents did not want to cause a face and give the bully power over their son by calling him out. What is the best way to deal with a verbal assault when it involves children?

— I cured

Vouad: While I understand the parents' reference to give the bully the attention he craves, one

I'd like to be prepared to talk to my stepmom if the conversation comes up about her end-of-life planning. I'd like to know how she is handling her estate. ... Is that rude?

would hope that the school has procedures to correct this kind of behavior.

It's important for the safety and mental well-being of the child that they talk to a teacher or a school administrator about what's being said to him. It's possible that this isn't an isolated incident. It's also possible that if there are incidents who feel they can get away with racial epithets to doomass, they also feel empowered to bully in other ways.

Your nephew probably doesn't have the tools to deal with this right now. His parents need to intercede at the behalf, not only to get him support and show him that they're in his corner. Not also as an example of how to stand up for himself as he grows older.

Dear Erie: In reference to the person that wants their significant effort to take off outside shoes or there is no get out that can that other writer's face be! ('Shoes Off'). The letter writes is not wrong but, I imagine, sometimes the significant effort needs to run in quickly to grab something or use

the restroom. Repeatedly, taking your shoes off and on to time consuming and overpowering.

Here are some alternatives. Gardening catalogues sell aggressive food or agents and floor mats to clean shoes. There are also large vlip-on shoes that go over work boots to keep the dirt from falling off to the floor. Additionally, there are large sticky mats that construction companies won't keep workers from doing their own nonconstruction areas. Have those items at the door ways for quick restrooms the house.

— No Shoes, No Problem

No Shoes: Thanks for those good suggestions. Additionally, other readers suggested having the people recently do so cover available.

People have opinions about their departure. So do we

MAGAZINE FOCUS B3

Ashley Prince Harley: Hello, everybody. Jonsille, as our resident Brits, congratulations on getting your estranged prince back? I guess.

Jonsille La Fozende: He's coming DORIS?

A.F.M.: Just so we know where we stand. What are everyone's respective levels of social meetings?

J.L.F.: I'll just myself at moderate-to-high. Growing up in London, the result and their drama are kind of unavoidable, so I know a probably unnecessary amount of royal law.

Shane O'Neill: I'm basically an outsider. I haven't entirely escaped Meghan and Harry never became it's unscrupulous, but my knowledge of the result is essentially "The Crown."

A.F.M.: Often has stoked and flowed over the years, but knowing what the result are up to and, more importantly, wearing has historically been part of my best as a Golden writer. The royal family with their whole mantra of "never complain, never explain," tends to mean they do a lot of messaging through their wardrobes. Which gives me some interpretive work to do from time to time? Also, I like the occasional spicy palace intrigue. S.O.: Jonsille, it this exciting for me.

J.L.F.: I'm happy for Harry because it seems like being back in the U.K. is important to him and something he has wanted for a while. But I'm also a little nervous for them. The left never back between versions and I'm really intrigued to see how Brits must save that they're actually coming back. It does feel a bit like walking back into the room alone.

S.O.: People me for not knowing that, but what at the evidence that he wanted to go round? I understand why Meghan and Harry were the first book start after her own debacle, but I wasn't jerky to Harry's feelings on the matter.

J.L.F.: Harry said in an interview with the author, he would love to "reconcile" with his children. She also talked about how much he means the U.K. and how sad he was that he couldn't bring his children back because of the security situation. So I think there have definitely been signs that he wanted to be closer to home and his family.

A.F.M.: I can't say I know with a tiny bit of love. Things were really bad between Harry and his family around the time he returned his mother, "Spare," is rightful. But this kind of love you fight in the book with William and with Charles. But last recently, Harry and Meghan took their kids to the U.K. where they were in the U.K. and a good child (the king) for the first time in four years? That's a long time, and I suspect these two developments – the took different closely by the more – are related.

J.L.F.: Not just knowing now that they're moving back makes that vital but even more.

S.O.: Jonsille, I'm also curious what your feeling is so how this news impacts general attitudes

© A. M. McKenzie

In his memoir, "Spare," released in 2023, Prince Harry detailed some very big fights with brother William and with father Charles.

"I think there have definitely been signs that [Prince Harry] wanted to be closer to home and his family."

Jonsille La Fozende, Washington Post social video editor

owned the monarchy. Does Harry returning feel like medication for brother? Does this change anything for those who think the whole thing is a source of time and money? J.L.F.: If you think the result are a waste of time and money, Harry moving back probably isn't going to change that. But I felt that, even her sister could not at an a lot of a medication. After everything that happened and was sad, he still ultimately chose to come home. I'm really curious to see whether the British public continues them.

A.F.M.: How would we characterize the ways our characteristics, our peers, have been able to be better than ever the past five or six years, as they've disliked it? So much so from the royal family and started over in the United States! S.O.: I'm a bit something per gop in New York. I can't remember the last time anyone brought up Meghan and Harry, even in the context of celebrity gangs. I've recently heard people talk more about Princess Diana, Camilla and even Charles more in the past five years. Meghan's perceived desire to become a celebrity kid? That interesting basically everyone seems to want to be human right now. And at least among my peers, she has not captured our imagination. J.L.F.: I think it's almost too opposite in the U.K. Even among people I know who don't actively follow the result, Harry and

Meghan still come up whenever there's a big interview, family drama or controversy. People definitely have opinions on them, whether they're sympathetic to why they left so think they've made things worse by continuing to talk publicly about the family. I don't know that people are necessarily involved in their anti-young lives, but they've never fully disappeared from the conversation.

And to your point Shane, I mean, Princess Diana is different. We'll be talking about her for centuries. He was and will always be that girl. A.F.M.: Actually, I really loved the whole storyline that Harry had announced his royal life and moved statuistic because it was the best thing for his wife and kids. I think I, and a lot of people in my circles, were coming for them. (It does not hurt that I and many of my friends are Northwestern goals. We protect our own, especially those who lived right across the country) I and, Well, several years before us. But still, I alter the initial arrival, though, interest kind of dropped off.

J.L.F.: So much of the intrigue around Harry was that he was a prince who walked away from being a court, but once you take the royal part away, what does that actually look like? A.F.M.: Ordinary American rich people? And lately, after the tell-nothing Netflix documentary

and the boring cooking show and the podcast deal that seemed to ultimately go nowhere, I've been hearing more skepticism. Like marks they are not over their heads. S.O.: We love the story of a princess tango-like 'road' caprice, so the stories of royal mates (and many) tagmonkets against Meghan and Harry's collective cultural narrative. But we don't have many fairy tales about what happens after the princess is revived and leaves the sanity, do we? Meghan was kind of entering uncharted territory. And then slipped into something so bland that I basically never regained interest again.

J.L.F.: For all the attention she's had, I don't know that Meghan's ever become culturally scout: so her own right outside of being connected to the royal family. People were fascinated by Meghan the Bishops and Meghan leaving the result, but Meghan gave you to life hasn't and the right, kids are people. And, respectfully, I don't think the acting career was even going to get her there either. S.O.: What is it about Meghan that seems to make people to nervous or triggered or deceive. How much do you think issues racism plays a role versus her actions and personality? A.F.M.: I'm a there's some racism baked in, and I also think it's sometimes hard for the public, still, to be rooting for an

ambitious woman. Especially when she seems to have everything and yet wants something else. She married the prince, but wanted to go back to her home. So well, that part still isn't totally clear. A podcast had! A Martha Stewart style home and breath magnify! J.L.F.: I definitely think anyone just knows what way Meghan was treated, particularly when she first entered the royal family. Some of the coverage and commentary around her was sustained in ways that went beyond around royal criticism, and that shouldn't be minimized.

I also think there's this idea that copyright a prince should be used to be enhanced, and how dare she want something different or more he herself? Her ambition can be interpreted as being supported rather than being a wanting an uncanny outside of being Harry's wife. At the same time, the reaction to her has evolved, and I don't think every criticism of the nature she and Harry have made since having is necessarily rooted in love.

A.F.M.: So we have any problems as to whether they'll trip back to his having dropped back? (Hep forward, back into the royal family)

S.O.: Is it possible to strip back in, Jonsille? Every to expect you to know everything about the results because you're British. In exchange, you can ask me anything you want about

handed or clearly. J.L.F.: U.S.'s. Yes, they can be working royal again. But I don't think there's technically anything stopping them from stopping back in of the king material. If, Whether the family or the British public wants actually welcome that is another question, I don't see them becoming working roads again anytime soon, but I could definitely see them becoming more present at family events without taking on official duties. Like a soft launch back into royal life.

A.F.M.: Whose minor monologue would we meet like to hear this week? I'd want to know from Princess Jane. She's a working royal – one of the most visible working rivals! – but cannot her children without royal titles, in the U.K. I'm imagining her weighing in on this completely unimpressed, like, "Ours, this won't not require so much drama."

S.O.: Definitely not Princess D. She'll just have compassionate things to an SPIRITED? I want to know what the king thinks. I'd really like to know what Elizabeth is thinking from the great beyond.

J.L.F.: SPIRITED on Queen Lizzy's the late William. His estranged brother is moving back after six years, their father apparently welcomes the return, and now Harry and his family will be much closer. I'll love to know what he really thinks of all of this.

A.F.M.: Not now, but in about 20 years, I would love to know how they all went down for Arabic and LitNet. But kids, like this been a tumultuous time for them, are have they been blissfully shielded from all of it? Is it weird to be a California preschooler, and their meet over grounds for the first time in the committee, and he randomly has a palace full of servants and ancient jewels and suits of arms? Also, do they have American account? I don't mean so they can be the anyone who did our marriage? S.O.: Personally, I don't think going back to England would be worth the added services unless I'm not going back to the living a working royal again. But then, I think it's also safe to see that Meghan Martha and I have different approaches to life.

J.L.F.: The British press can be relentless, and their relationship with the tabloid's research a huge part of why they felt in the first place. Moving back to some of the themselves and now their children must closer to that exciting again. I'm really curious about what has changed enough for them to feel like the people are. But this king's health really bad? It has to be something really big. S.O.: Speaking of media attention, I think that they are there looking for a good way and offer right now. I hope Meghan is playing me. But seriously. Did any of you manage to taste the jam? I really wanted to.

A.F.M.: American person, Gerhard, we hardly know so. S.O.: I guess we're opening the possibility of a lifestyle found called British River Thames House.

A.F.M.: The "big revenue" J.L.F.: Now THAT would be a comeback.

Beloved dog's cancer treatment drained their savings. What if it comes back?

Carolyn Dose Carolyn: We just want the fact of our savings to pay for a young and otherwise healthy dog – not child's best, sleeping on the bed and moving-the-less-wine my health – to have a cancerous tumor removed. All the signs are good, and the we believe the chances of recurrence are low. But if it comes back we cannot afford to treat it again, not without taking on debt. We cannot have none, but both adult jobs are unstable right now, and whole the kids would ship process give up their extracurricular to save the dog's life, another round of treatment would cost more than all their activities combined for a year, and I don't want to hone-up their life (made for a dog). But I'm trying this while I hold the dog and cry into his for at the thought of the chance to try this can what, take kannel? I can't think, and I'm so tired. He's took a good boy. But the kids have to cope first. How do I do to my logical grace if I have to make this

decision again? Husband is in the same boat as me, mentally.

So Tired! So Tired! So exact wrong thing just stopped into our boat. Those are college mates I would not want to read. Your family just went through this, you're stressed, tired and broke, so now to say the time to think about the next awful decision. You don't have to make any of the women anyway, so don't. This does avoid like the pain of the time, though, to to think some extracurricular. Does everyone avoid all the stuff? I mean – I can do it to ensure an adult and an all our family are possible to do so. So I'm not going to do so. But they're worth treating us to prevent them to save the dog's life, another round of treatment would cost more than all their activities combined for a year, and I don't want to hone-up their life (made for a dog). But I'm trying this while I hold the dog and cry into his for at the thought of the chance to try this can what, take kannel? I can't think, and I'm so tired. He's took a good boy. But the kids have to cope first. How do I do to my logical grace if I have to make this

seeing whether your kids' interests have evolved in come into tighter focus. Research into cost sharing you can do elsewhere would also be nice. Make it your end of return. I can't. You understand you may have an issue coming with the dog – and the jobs, and who know what else, so I can't see any downside to preparing control financially now. Well, besides the donations of the chore, so instead of cost savings, all it dog saving! If it is you when he's much like to do, you know more quick, then he might not want to be saved. If your vet is right and it doesn't even, then, say 'You'll have just (some of) your more diet food back. So Tired! Do not have a charity fund for animal treatment. Ask, and everyone else should ask their own vets about cancer. Anonymous Dellrinith, thanks. But flavor moderates a bit of financial assistance services.

I called back and found it would be $2,000 without boarding. Wife had a friend in Raleigh who had come out. The people came and died. I AM LIVED TO IS AND JUST HAD A BOND WELL. • I keep a separate savings account (not for the dog, I pay a manageable amount and I'm monthly like a bill, for all of his life.

Olivia Miles led all scorers with 10 points for the Lynx, who ended the Mystics' home winning streak despite rooting star forward Naphossa Collier.

Miles ahead

BY RALEY JOHNSON

Try at their next, the Washington Mystics couldn't hold off the Olives Miles-led Minnesota Lynx to extend their home winning streak to nine games.

The Mystics entered Friday's game at CareFirst Arena 9-2 in their past 10 games, with eight straight wins at home, and with a split record from the season's first two meetings with the league-best Lynx. But a 24-point, seven-point night from Miles, Minnesota's standard rookie point guard, proved too much by Washington to overcome in a 94-94 loss.

LYNX 94, MYSTICS 84

In the end, Minnesota's rookie is too much for Washington

All five Mystics starters scored in double digits — 10 points for Kiki Krakes, 17 for Shakira Austin, 16 for Michaela Onyomwere, 11 for Sonia Citron and 10 for Georgia Amoree — but the balanced attack couldn't hold up against Miles and

Natasha Howard, who added 21 points.

Washington Coach Sydney Johnson, krakes and Onyomwere all pointed to the Mystics' poor defense against Minnesota's three-point shooting as the key element of the loss. The Lynx went 11 for 27 from beyond the air.

"They made big three-point shots all evening," Johnson said. "They're a really good jump-shooting team. ... That kind of stretches you a bit thin and spreads you out a bit. I thought we did a solid job against Karla [McBride] for a lot of the game, and then she made two steady ones."

Life's hit in ninth ties it, but Miami walks it off

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — Junior Sanoja singled through the middle with the bases loaded and no outs in the ninth mating to give the Miami Marlins a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.

Washington tied it in the top of the ninth on Dayles' Life's single off New Nationals.

In the bottom half, Agustin Kamires led off with a walk off Clayton Boston Boston's throwing error on Katsury Busch's infield hit, got runners on second and third, and Jakob Marsee was walked intentionally before Sanoja singled to end it.

Miami moved a game over 350 at 65-69, beating the Nationals for the sixth straight time. Washington dropped to 61-68.

Marsee tripled leading off the eighth against Tom Cosgrove for the Marlins' second hit, and Sanoja singled to tie 0 at 1. Otto Lopez had a two-out single for a 2-1 lead.

Kedvert Bate hit his eight homer on a one-out pitch from Tyler Zuber to put the Nationals up 3-0 in the ninth. It was the first earned run allowed by Zuber since July 24, spanning 32 appearances.

Nationals KHP Jake Irvin (2-5, 5-6-0) was set to start Saturday opposite Marlins KHP Rory Firrel (6-8, 5-2-0).

Washington dropped to 1-0 on its nine-game road trip.

The Nationals and Marlins continue another series in Washington next Friday through Monday, Aug. 24.

In dog days of summer, NFL tempers flare

At joint practices, intended as controlled settings, fights are becoming a problem

BY ROY MEADOW Associated Press

Joint practices are out-of-control when an outgrazing, fun-loving guy such as James Winston is throwing punches and getting docked in the middle of a brawl.

Simpson faces been facing around the NFL as many teams are practicing against each other ahead of preseason games.

Winston was at the center of a fight between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins on Thursday.

The Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints were fined $500,000 apiece by the NFL after a brawl-filled joint practice Tuesday.

There were several skirmishes between the San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans last week that led to two players from each team being turned out of practice.

"It's not a game, so you don't have the same, quite, guardrails on it," Giants Coach John Harbaugh said. "And it's a violent game. And so, in this sort of an environment, you have those rules of engagement that aren't really rules of the game. And then."

NCAA records a victory in eligibility legal battle

Fifth years put on hold for thousands of athletes; other lawsuits will go on

BY EDDIE PELLIS Associated Press

DENVER — The NCAA notched as important win in federal court Friday over its much-disputed five-year eligibility rule, though it fell short of chatting down the last-minute shuffling threatening in myriad college sports resters with football season last approaching.

A 2-1 decision by a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit board, for now, a judges order that would have granted thousands of athletes as extra season of eligibility. But it did nothing to resolve dozens of other lawsuits and court orders piling up across the country that allow players in the same situation to join teams for the upcoming season.

Virtually all these lawsuits involve players who graduated

from high school in 2022, whose college eligibility ended last season and who were not included in the NCAA's controversial new rule — less than two months old — that grants most Division 1 athletes five years of eligibility over five years but doesn't take effect until next season.

"There's a reason we saw so many state-court lawsuits likeff after the new-gained federal court ruling that came down July 15, said Sam Ehrlich, a former lawyer who now works at Boise-Baie and operates the College Sports Litigation Trustee. "It wasn't hard to say," they did it just in case what we put saw happen actually happened."

Among the many athletes watching this unfold and wondering where it would up are defensive linemen, Kellisa Wyatt and Stephan Daley, both members of the national championship team at Indiana last season who decided to return after the lower-court decision. So are former Mississippi starters DarQuan Wright, Zasvian Harris and Wintet Williams, who won a riding from a Louisiana state.

B.C. United transfers Murrelli to Scottish club

B.C. United transferred forward: Anorh Murrelli to Salkirk FC of the Scottish Premiership, the club said Friday.

Murrelli, 20, joined B.C. as the No. 7 park in the 2024 MLB SuperDraft and signed a three-year contract through 2026 with an option for 2027.

The striker contributed four goals and five assists to 40 appearances across all competitions.

He came off the beach to eight games (the season and had one assist).

John Mann's Lionel Messi and Ian Fray were head undisclosed and roam for making contact in the head and neck area of opponents during second-half campaign time on Wednesday's third against Philadelphia, MLB said.

Newcomer Cristine Trabb helped set up two goals as defending champion Arsenal opened the English Premier League season by demanding promoted Coventry, 14, in London to spoil the victory's long-awaited return to the top flight.

After ending a 23-year wait for the Premier League title, Arsenal showed why it's favored to repeat as champion by completely dominating Frank Lampard side in a game that was one-sided from start to finish.

Kai Maretti, Bokaro Saba and captain Martha Gringgard scored for the moment.

Hours before the game, Arsenal bolstered its defense by signing England international Earl Bunte from Akron, VTA in a field worth a reported 32 million pounds (375 million).

In France, a second half double from Asimo Gault led Marseille on its way to a 4-0 home win over headwitting in the 1996 match of this season's Ligue 1 action.

FIFA suspended three Argentina players, including a 10-match back for midfielder Juanito Paballa, for 49-86th Spain opponents after the World Cup final.

The loss for Paredes – who grabbed Spain's Eva García by the threat and pushed Gast to the ground – made with the FIFA superbase for Uruguay forward Luís Suárez in 2004 as among the most severe in World Cup history.

Argentina defender Nahuel Molina was handed a seven-game loss, while Thiago Almeda received a one-game suspension. FIFA imposed fines of 500,000 on Paredes and Molina and 500,000 for Almeda.

Russia Munich has been aware of Jonel Mestala's overcharged record for a head a way, found interest for sport Max-Ebert said.

APPEALING TRENDS

With knee ailing, Sinner will skip U.S. Open

BY BLAKE MUNDY

NEW YORK – Top-ranked Jannik Sinner withdrew from the U.S. Open on Friday, unable to recover from a right knee injury team, admitted fans since he claimed the Wimbledon title.

Sinner beat Alexander Zivner last month for his second straight title at the All England Club, then pulled out of the hard-court tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati that serve as a warmup for the U.S. Open.

The 22-year-old Italian wrote Friday that he won't be ready when the main draw begins Aug. 20.

"Even though I have been working hard with my team and my medical staff, we have now had to make the difficult decision that I will not be able to compete at the US Open this year," Sinner wrote in a post on X.

"We have been back on court in Monte

Top-ranked man, sidelined since Wimbledon, will miss return of total 62 years."

Carlo over the last couple of days and have realized that I will need more time to recover from my right knee team. The obviously very sad and disappointed, as New York have expected me to see them. I was very much looking forward to coming back and playing in the electric atmosphere in front of the great time there."

Sinner was the 2024 US Open champion and lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final.

Alcaraz posted an social media Thursday that he would be ready to play in New York after he has been out of action since

April because of a right wrist injury. The rivalry between those two has dominated media versus in recent years, and they met in the last three Grand Bans finals in 2022. Alcaraz took the most recent one with his four-set victory in New York.

That ended Sinner's title reign after he beat Tudor Brits in straight sets in the 2016 final.

Sinner is 44-6 with six titles this year. He had a stunning collapse at the French Open, showing a two-set lead while struggling in the heat in his second round match against Juan Manuel Cavanello. He then sat out until Wimbledon, where his victory gave him five Grand Bans titles.

It will be the first time Sinner has missed a Grand Bans tournament since making his major debut at the U.S. Open in 2019.

League reviewing arrest of Ravens WR Bateman

FROM NEWS SERVICES

The Baltimore Ravens mail Friday they are aware of Radical Balomans's arrest in June in Georgia over a domestic violence incident and have been in contact with their receiver.

The Ravens have informed the NFL and league spokesman Brian McCarthy says the case is under review.

"We notified the league office and have been cooperating throughout the process," he found said in a statement. "As this is a pending legal matter, we will not have further comment."

According to NFL Bateman was arrested after thanking a window of the vehicle being directed by the mother of his child, with the 5 months-old inside 1982 (cited court documents that said the six can told authorities the incident happened around 6 a.m. June 4).

According to the arrest warrant, Bateman used an object to attack the driver's side window and the diamond glass caused multiple small lacerations to the victim's face.

Bateman's representative said he turned forward to the Walton County sheriff's office that the 4 court later granted Balomans's request to lift a no-contact order after he said the victim indicated the did want to have contact with him.

"It is unfortunate that a personal family situation has been taken completely out of contact for non-atticated reasons," Bateman attorney Arthur Rees said in a statement to the Associated Press. "We will let the court process play out and the facts will come out at that time."

Walton County authorities didn't immediately respond to a message from the AP.

• RELEASER'S: Wide receiver Jake Boles continued a "nortuar mass injury during a joint practice session with the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Seattle Coach Mike Macdonald said.

"Our heart goes out to Jake Boles," Macdonald said after the joint practice. "It seems like it's going to be a serious [right] knee injury! We're going to get an image. But early returns, just looks like it's a long-term injury. That's unfortunate."

Boles was called off the practice field after being thrown a pass near the sideline.

According to an arrest warrant, Radical Bateman smashed the sideline of a car in June, causing lacerations to the face of a victim.

The 28-year-old placed in 13 games last season and caught two passes on two targets for 24 yards. He made two catches in three spokesmen games for 33 yards and a touchdown for the Super Bowl champion Suzhawks.

Boles could have been a restricted free agent in the offseason when the Suzhawks tendered a $15.6 million offer. The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed him to an offer short on a two-year, $5.2 million deal, with $6.5 guaranteed. Not Seattle matched the offer, per Spottac.com.

• FALCON'S: Arctos Partners is adding a fourth NFL franchise to its portfolio by purchasing a 10 percent stake in Atlanta, Front Office Sports and CSBC reported.

The private equity firm already owns stakes in the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Changes.

The deal with Arctos includes a $10.6 billion valuation for the Falcons. Arctos will acquire the 10 percent stake in two stages, starting with a 7.5 percent stake, according to Sportsx. A vote on the transaction is planned for October.

According to NFL rules, a private equity firm can invest in no more than six teams, and the maximum stake size is 10 percent.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank owns about 51 percent of the team, but it is unclear whether his shares are involved in the deal with Arctos, according to Front Office Sports.

• NIBIC: The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has signed a second investigation into former Arizona Cardinals meeting executive Ryan Gold's alleged betting activity.

The probe follows an inquiry opened by the Arizona Department of Planning in July. According to an ESPN report, the Massachusetts investigation focuses on unusual betting patterns in the state.

The NFL suspended Gold indefinitely in July after finding that he disclosed confidential draft information and participated in imagery involving football games.

Gold has filed an appeal. His hearing is scheduled for Sept. 25. "There is absolutely zero substance to the claims made against Ryan Gold," Gold's attorney Mike Carpino, told ESPN. "The NFL's investigation is so deeply flawed and so wrong. He will be vindicated next month in our appeal."

James Cook paced the NFL with 1,033 rushing yards in the 2023 season after the Bills signed him to a four-year, $46 million extension.

For Bills' Cook, a higher salary is not a high priority

On the NFL STATIONALLY

James Cook got a new contract last year and backed it up by leading the NFL in rushing New, but

underpaid.

The Buffalo Bills gave Cook a four-year, $46 million deal that's a bargain compared with the money teams handed out to running backs this month.

He's not complaining. At least, not publicly.

"Just keep growing, just keep elevating my game, be the best version of me," Cook said on the Associated Press's "On Football" podcast. "Each and every day I step on the field, sky's the limit!"

Johnny Gibbs became the highest-paid running back in NFL history when the Detroit Lions signed him to a three-year, $97.5 million contract with $53.5 million guaranteed and an average annual value of $22.5 million.

Ryan Robinson received a three-year, $40.75 million deal from the Atlanta Falcons with $15.6 million guaranteed and an average salary of $22.25 million.

The Indianapolis Colts gave Jonathan Taylor a two-year, $46 million deal.

Close-contract is set a new bar for running backs, supporting the Philadelphia Eagles' Saigon Buckley (123.9 million annually) and the San Francisco-where Christian McCaffrey (319 million annually).

Still, running backs are underpaid relative to wide

With an average salary of $22.5 million under his new deal, Limerstar Johnny Gibbs is the highest-paid running back in NFL history.

reserves. Twenty-five estimates have higher salaries than Gibbs and Robinson. That includes Robinson's teammate, Ernie London. Robinson led the NFL last year in scrimmage yards with 2,206. London was 25th with 310 yards. But he's making

$12 million more per season. After the season, running backs could make this an issue — as they did a few years ago, when they met virtually to discuss their contracts.

For now, it's all business. Cook is focused on trying to

help the Bills get to an elusive Super Bowl.

Lastly: June 25th, Buffalo has won a playoff game in each of the past six seasons but hasn't made it past the APL championship game.

"We don't have to do nothing but keep being so, man, and just get over that bump," Cook said.

The ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl, but you got to take that by this and stop by step to get there. It ain't going to be easy. So we know that and each and every day, each and every week we step on the field, we're trying to put our best foot forward to win."

"I'm going to be Joe," Cook said. "We're going to let us be, let us have fun, but also be business so usual. So, I don't think

different to get over that bump. And, I mean, we've been doing it, we've been working our tail off, and it's going to show on that."

Cook ran for a career-best 2,672 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, making far third straight Pro Bowl appearance and running a second-team all-pro lead.

Joint practices cultivate summertime skirmishes

NFL (CLUB #1)

somebody perceives somebody else pass over the line, or they drop over the line, and somebody needs to protect somebody, and that's where it goes. And I think a long act doesn't get out of control where we get a violent type of situation, it's fine. We decided that anybody that threw a pinch in these scrimmage would be treated like the game."

The joint sessions have become the preferred way to give starters valuable experience in a competitive environment. Most coaches prefer to keep key starters — or all of their starters, in some cases — out of permanent games, so facing opponents within a controlled setting has become a priority for more teams. Overall, 28 of 45 clubs are holding joint practices this year.

Coaches have warned their players about fighting, making close-its disruptive and counter-productive.

"We don't tolerate it," Philadelphi, higher-stationers coordinator Vic Fangio said. "The way I

explain it to the players, every time we do one of these — you have 60 teammates in camp. Now you've got 180 teammates. We're just working against each other. What they're in a different Jersey, a different helmet. We're not here to fight. We're here to get better as an individual and a team, and hopefully we'll all want it that way."

The Eagles held two joint sessions with the New England Patriots this week. There was one minor scuffle, prompting Philadelphi, one running back Saigon. Barkley to say, "I hate joint practices, I've housed."

"More times than not, nothing good comes out of it," he said. "When you have the week, you good, but then you get the pushing, the shoving, and someone says this about you, and it's, 'I don't know about that, but you're that. It's innocent. I'm not going to that level. I have to do a better job, too, because I'm a little true. Heritable sometimes, but I was good this week."

Eights are inevitable, considering players are going at each

Things got housed between the Saints' Molliki Matarua, center, and the Cowboys at Tuesday's practice.

other, talking toads, grinding in the hot sun on humid days.

At takes plenty of discipline to show restraint.

"I love joint practices, being able to play in our defense, in our style against another team," Arizona Cardinals safety Eudda

Baker said. "Yeah, the cots are fighting, but at the end of the day, we're professionals... As long as you can play the game at a high level and respect the other team, fights won't happen."

Baker said teams are supposed to maintain the same etiquette in

joint practices that they do against each other.

"If the ball is in the air, and you are the receiver in a compromiseing position, and I'm coming downhill on the ball, I'm not going to hit him," Baker said. "I'm going to let him catch it and tap off a

snight talk my little [toads] and tell him, 'You probably wouldn't have caught that.' But you're being a professional. You wouldn't want to hurt your own teammates, so you don't want to hurt the opposing team in a practice."

Higher scour when players broach that etiquette or hit a quarterback.

"You should never get close to the 1987 Baker and, 'Spastian' packs are the most important position in football. Losing a quarterback in practice against another team — that's something where fights will definitely happen."

The Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills were quite choppy during their joint practice but second-fight. Browns Coach Todd Monkera said players are told they will be tossed out of practice for throwing punches. In some cases, they might end up playing in the premature game as punishment when they normally weren't going to end up.

"There has got to be an accountability and a discipline to what we do," Monkera said. "But I also want the guys to have a minister and a personality while they're out there as well. It's a fine line."

Texas Tech striving for a rare repeat as Big 12 champion

BVI, Utah and Houston are among the threats to Red Raiders' reign

BY STEPHEN HAWAGNE

The Big 12 Conference has had six different champions in the past six seasons.

While 12th-ranked Texas Tech sucks a repeat after winning the first Big 12 title and making the College Football Report, teams such as No. 64 BVI, No. 21 Utah and No. 23 Houston could make a push to unravel the leagery streak to seven.

"We want to do something that very few teams have been able to do, and that's to win the Big 12 championship again," Texas Tech Coach Joey McGuire said.

The Red Raiders included again through the transfer portal after setting school records with 12 wins and nine NFL draft picks. Will Hammond is healthy after an AFL outcry last season and will be able to make a 10th season legal saga surrounding Lincoln Riverdale forcibly who was declared ineligible by the NCAA because of gambling.

The 12 is coming off on how 12 win season since 2001, and both its teams were to Texas Tech — 2nd in California, Texas, then 34c in the Big 12 title game.

"We know that last year was some really cool things, some awesome reasons," 12th-year Congress

Red Raiders Coach Joey McGuire leads a reloaded squad after losing nine players to the NFL draft.

coach Eleanor Strube said: "At the same time, we know what we can do better."

The Congress returns Big 12 roading leader 1.2 Marlins (1.367 yards, 22 roaking touchdowns) and quarterback Bear Bachmeier, who threw for 3,853 yards, ran for 527 and accounted for 26 touchdowns (22 passing, 31 roaking) after getting three in the starting role as a true freshman.

Houston went from four wins to

10 in its second season with Coach Willie Fritz, and these Congress return dual-threat quarterback Connor Weigman (3,461 total yards and 50 touchdowns). Utah has 82 percent of its total release back (quarterbacks Devon Dempsey and Brad Fekkin and running back Wyndhurst Parker) from an 15-win team, but two offensive linemen were first-round NFL draft picks and Kyle Whittingham left after 32 seasons as coach for Michigan.

Antonio quarterback Thule Fritis, the national active leader with 75 touchdowns passes, is a rarity going into the fourth season starting for the same team. With the track and the categories for returns of leading rocher Denali Mahdi, the Wildcats hope to build on a 9-4thout and be a Big 12 contender.

Antonio Pate was the Big 12 title and made the playoff in its conference debut in 2024. The

injury-plapped San Devils weren't able to repeat last year and now are without quarterback Sam Leavitt (transfer to LHC) and wide receiver Justice Bunn (first-round pick by the New Orleans baton).

Doris Sanders, who last year underwent surgery for bladder cancer, notifies both the his old self going into his fourth season at Colorado. He hired new offensive and defensive coordinator on after a five-game losing streak to end last season with a 1-0 conference record. He is 30-22 overall with the Buffaloers.

The Big 12's four new head coaches include Eleanor Butez, Collin Klein and Chalk Morgan Stadler at their alma nature to placing their former bosses. Jimmy Rogers took over at Iowa State when ButezMitchell left after 30 seasons for Penn State, and Eric Morris is at Oklahoma State.

Klein had been gone for two seasons as Texas A&PS offensive coordinator, a week Chris Kiernan suddenly retired from Kansas State. Stadler was Chalk defensive coordinator when Whittingham stopped. Rogers was an Football Championship Conference national title three seasons ago as coach at his alma mantra South Dakota State, and was at Washington State last year.

Oklahoma State's 56 newcomers include 12 who came with Moody from North Texas, which lost to Tulane in the American Conference championship game to raise on on a 127 yards, among the Moan Green transfers were quarterback Drew Mertemaker (the

national passing leader with 4,270 yards as a freshman), running back Clark Hawkins (3,454 yards and a Football Bowl No. 64 division front (2 roaking touchdowns as a freshman) and wide receiver Ward Young (70 catches, 1,264 yards, 30 touchdowns).

This is the first time since 2004 the Cowboys enter a season with out Mike Gandy at their coach. They have lost 30 conference games in a row, with a score after 6-0 conference records since a 49-21 loss to Texas in the 2022 Big 12 championship game.

After making the 10 team play-off and getting a first-round bye last season, Texas Tech lost 23-0 to Oregon in the Orange Bowl quarterfinal game. That dropped the Big 12, which has never had multiple playoff teams, to 1-0 in OFF games.

"There's no obligation as programs in this conference that we play at a high level, and then I think it's really important that we win in the playoffs," McGuire said. "Until we do that as a conference, then we're going to continue to have the same narrative that we have right now."

Oklahoma claimed a record in Big 12 championships before going to the SEC two years ago. The boxers won six in a row from 2012 to 2020, followed by Raiders, Eleanor Butez, Texas, Antonio Butez and the Red Raiders winning to this.

This will be the 10th season for the 2022-23, which will lead the 2026 championship game Dec. 8.

Court aids NCAA's cause on five-year eligibility rule, but no end in sight to fight

NCAA'S COURT

court giving them another season of eligibility even though they had signed with NFL teams this winter.

While some players hope to hard back at their schools, what ever the impact on the system, how have and how? at all than to many cases. The judge in the case involving the Mississippi players, for example, gave thanks a note to enter the transfer portal, which for football players is open only in January.

In appealing the state court

cases, the NCAA is expected to invoke parts of Friday's ruling, which agreed with NCAA arguments that it was likely to win the case when it's heard in full-princible several months from now — and that the NCAA would suffer more harm than the players if the court didn't pause the order.

The NCAA can also take heart in an Ohio appeals court that passed a similar injunction involving Xavier basketball: Filip Borovitsants and others.

But other than these two cases, Ehrlich said, judges across the

country' two unanimous that the NCAA is in the wrong' on the five-year eligibility issue when it comes to the Class of 2025.

Plaintiff's attorney Bob Markquist issued a statement calling the appeals court ruling proverbial and "not a decision on the merits of the athletes' antitrust claims."

"We are exploring every available option given the split in the panel's ruling and remain committed to fighting for these college athletes whose opportunities and eligibility have been unfairly restricted," he said.

The NCAA's chief legal officer, Scott Beatty, sent a memo to schools telling them they would not be subject to NCAA punishments for allowing any player to compete between the time the July 25 ruling came down and Friday. But he reiterated that those players are no longer eligible.

Beatty also acknowledged that the NCAA would continue to defend between several the country — a signal that the NCAA knows Friday's ruling offers no guarantees of an end to the corner chaos. "If anything, I do wonder if

there's a part of the NCAA that's, like, Maybe we'd have been better off not getting the star because, hey, there's going to be a lot of lawsuits that ever the court couple of weeks," Ehrlich said.

Courts that go beyond filing emergency injunctions and take up the cases in their entirety will have to decide who suffers more harm. In 6 players who can't play a fifth year and could lose educational and full opportunities? On incoming freshmen who signed with the idea that they wouldn't be competing against a class of fifth-year seniors?

When the NCAA decided to have the rule kick in next year, it also grappled with that calculation, knowing it couldn't be perfectly fair.

"Success is in the eve of the beholder," the NCAA argued in its legal brief in the appeals case. "Countless student-athlete already on campuses, and schools who both their system in reliance on the rules the NCAA's membership wrote and agreed to follow, do not believe it is fair for thousands of formerly ineligible athletes to return to competition at the start of the 2020-27 season."

down the stretch. The three-point shooting kind of different-ated themselves and pulled themselves away from us, and we couldn't quite keep you."

Washington capitalized on the absence of forward Naykema Collier, the two-time MVP run-as-up whom Minnesota tested for the game. For the 1916 time in 30 games this season, the Mystics won the rebounding battle, finishing with a 50-26 advantage on the boards. But the Lynx's sharp shooting neutralized that advantage.

"Using into every game, we want to be able to take away what the other team is good at. In this case, it was the three-point shots," Oxenmoos said. "They shot at percent from them, 11 to 27. I just think that they had momentum down the stretch. We were not able to be in those gaps to help for those throws."

The Mystics went on a 5-0 run to start the fourth quarter, rapped for brittans' third-chance being, to briefly radiate the lead. Then Howard promptly pulled up for a multistage jumper, and Miles stepped back for a three from the wing, and just like that Minnesota won back in control.

That was the theme of the evening for the Mystics, who were able to largely stay close — they never ended by more than 10 points — but weren't able to find the extra shots or steps they needed to actually take control. On the night, they led for just 2 minutes, 42 seconds.

"We just weren't ourselves," Iriaden said. "The Lynx, they adjusted, especially in that third quarter, 16th like. We were still in the game, but they had of half their extra push. We talk about it, like, that's the difference between good teams and great teams."

Raleigh Laney-Hamilton, whom the Mystics claimed all waivers earlier this month, got 10 minutes of action off the bench and missed the star shot she attempted while grabbing four rebounds. After a difficult start to the 2016 season with the New York Liberty, Laney-Hamilton hasn't had a soomine transition to Washington.

Iriaden highlighted Laney-Hamilton's nine points in the

Mystics center Shakira Austin, left, had 17 points as all five-starters for Washington scored in double figures, but it wasn't enough.

Mystics' win over the Toronto Tempe on Wednesday, her highest-athlete's outpat since joining the team, while changing off the suggestion that her lack of coming has been an issue.

"She helps us organize. She knows the players in this league," Iriaden said. "There's too many things that we get excited about and know that she contributes beyond points. Passing the ball, rebounding, organization and defense. Maybe not her night tonight, but she's just coming off a game that was really helpful for us to beat Toronto."

Restaurant, neighbors are locked in an odorous affair

Building residents say Gordon Ramsay's burger joint is stinking up their pricey condos

BY RACHEL KUEZUS

It smells like fried food around lunchtime at Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza and Gordon Ramsay Street Burger. That's not a surprise. The restaurant in Washington's high-end Penn Quarter neighborhood serves a slew of popular offerings like Hotter Than Hell Dirty Fries and Idiot Smash Burgers.

But even after lunch service has waged, the state scent of salty fries and burgers hangs in the air in some of the special condominiums floors above the restaurant in the mixed-use building. The grocer-odor is not what owners had in mind when they purchased their pricey slips.

Residents say it doesn't just smell bad — it's unhealthy. According to air monitor measurements they provided, levels of particulate matter are well above the World Health Organization's air quality guidelines and are in keeping with the kind of pollutants released by grease exhaust.

The residents are convinced the scents and dangerous particulates are coming from the restaurant. After all, they say, this whole chapter began after Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza expanded its concept to bring

Velma Long and Dorothy Boggess were born in 1917. Over more than 80 years as friends, they've lived through history and stayed hopeful.

BY MAGGIE PENNAN

Dorothy Boggess starts every day the same way: with exercises in her kitchen. ¶ She plugs in an old boom box and hits play on the "Cha Cha Slide." Then she stands with a hand on the counter, swinging one leg and then the other back and forth. When DJ Casper asks how low she can go, she bends her knees and sinks her hips and shimmies, laughing. On her shelf is a mug that says "109 and fabulous." ¶ Reaching this age puts Boggess in an exclusive club. Just 0.03 percent of Americans live into their 100s. But Boggess is lucky enough that one of them is her friend of more than eight decades, Velma Long. ¶ Long celebrated her 109th birthday this month by inviting Boggess to church with her. (Long went to Boggess's church for her 109th birthday, in May.)

Family of go-go icon is a no-go for celebration

CHUCK BROWN'S RELATIVES PULL SUPPORT

Annual D.C. event honors 'Godfather' of the genre

BY ROYNA BOLAND

The family of go-go pioneer Chuck Brown announced Thursday that it removed support for a yearly birthday celebration held in his house, citing concerns that it was marginalized in the planning process.

"We no longer support the Chuck Brown Day event and do not want it to continue unless a new director and project leadership is in place to ensure that our duty to protect the integrity of Chuck Brown's legacy is respected," the family wrote in a statement posted on the Chuck Brown Band's social media pages.

The 12th annual Chuck Brown Day concert, organized by the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation and D.C. Mayor Muriel S. Browne (D), is scheduled to take place at Fort Dupont Park on Saturday, what would have been his 90th birthday.

The event typically features performances from a half-dozen go-go artists and draws large crowds. This year, the event is

Neighbors say Ramsay's restaurant harms their air quality

GREATY ODOR PHOTOS

Gordon Ramsay Street Burger and its fried menu items into the two-level space had summer.

The particulate levels spike during restaurant operating hours, according to another world of nashats of an in-suit art monitor provided to The Washington Post by residents and an air quality report conducted at the behest of the condo association.

Some residents avoid their units until the restaurant closes and wear 800 others when they've home. They have suffered from increased coughing and irritated eyes, they say. The occupants of one seat say that if things don't improve, they'll have to move.

They want the restaurant to let them inspect the venting, see diagrams of the build-out and conduct tests to continuously determine the cause of the issues, delay months of look-and-forth of restaurant group and its hand load, Douglas Development, so fused.

In correspondence with the condo association, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants and Douglas Development donated a role in the odorous affair, citing conversations with their contractor and knowledge of the building systems. The county, they said, more likely even from residents cooking in their units.

"We're looking into it," said Herbert Kramer, an associate of investments and capital markets at Douglas Development, whom reached by phone. He declined to comment further.

Representatives of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza and Gordon Ramsay Street Burger have not responded to multiple requests for comment, including questions about a detailed list of allegations made for residents.

Now, the parties are gridded.

"I have when you have to be votre lawyers and spend our assessments on attorneys, but at this point, there are people hurting," said Steve Leismund, who has lived in the building for more than 20 years. His two bedroom condo is one of the units that have a gnuff shop, though it does not suffer poor air quality. "They can't just write it off and say, 'Well, there's nothing we can do about it.' Because they are clearly the cases, and there's something in the system that has got to be repaired."

Terrell Place is a mixed-use building that was once the future is flagship (Reddy Department Store). The building has 28 non-dentist units in total, six of them have been affected by the odors and air particulates to varying degrees. Those six are located in two vertical stacks on top of the restaurant. A two-bedroom, 2780-square-foot condo on the ninth floor, replete with quartz counters and an open floor plan is on the market for $1.35 million. It's out one of the affected apartments.

Celebrity that Gordon Ramsay opened his first D.C. restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, at the Wharf in November 2012. Motor Muriel E. Bowser marked the occasion by joining him for a cooking competition. He opened Gordon Ramsay Duffy Kitchen, nearby in January 2013, and first he opened the first U.S.-based location of Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza a block from Capitol One, Arena on June 2016.

"I can't wait for you to now get a taste of my delicious smash burgers, fresh chicken sandwiches and meer," Ramsay agreed on hotspots in late July 2013, announcing that Gordon Ramsay Street Burger would take up residence in the heartache of the pizza restaurant. Gordon Ramsay Restaurants is a country of Douglas Development, where even the present and first floor units in the building.

By the fall of that year, "we started getting a lot of complaints about the location and business about the grease and particulate matter penetrating the building at various floors and various levels," said Ralph Terkovitz, the president of the Boston and New York Place Condominium Association. "That's a problem we have to solve to create a flexible building."

inexception beginning to take July 2022 and prepared throughout the fall. They stopped cooking in their suit and disconnected and sealed their microwave exhaust vent in November, but the problems continued.

"The small just into you like running into a wall," the resident said, and the "handscaper grease grill made" last for eight to nine-hours each day. The two air purifiers the resident bought to help reduce foundry particulate "only help at the margins," they said.

The inner wasn't limited to the condos. The buildings rest, which boasts views of the Hitchcock Museum and the Washington Monument, also features a distinctly longer-like small coming out of one of the exhaust stacks, a Washington Post report-

"I hate when you have to involve lawyers and spend our assessments on attorneys, but at this point, there are people hurting."

Steve Leismund, one of the people who live about Ramsay's restaurant

er observed. The condo association has fielded groaning, from residents about the small in the building's lobby and restaurant.

While the odor is a problem, residents say, the more concerning issue is the air quality.

The air monitor in one unit measured particles that are 1.5 microwave emullar; also known as fine particles, which pose the greatest risk to health, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Even low levels of moisture are harmful, especially for vulnerable populations, because the particles penetrate the lungs. The levels allegedly measured by the air monitor were on par with inhaling heavy willies smoke.

In January, the building manager sent Douglas Development

the first communication that expressed worries with odor, but it was focused on the environment rather than the burger one. The forwarded resident complaint outlined concerns with the "unbeautiful" press, even that a "strongest way to make it more as full of people in the evenings and a not noticeable as the meanings before it opens." The wall surrounding one of the outlets in the condo had become discolored and, per the complaint, "black exhaust dust falls out" when the resident removed the outlet cover. The small also included a photograph of an outside vent, which showed stains on the facade.

Kramer, of Douglas Development, responded with an action plan: a shop cleaning of the floor a leak test of the system, and a test of the fan's functionality. The company also brought out an engineer to ensure there was no immediate fire risk, per the email.

At first, correspondence between the parties showed a willingness to work together, even after that first action plan didn't resolve the contract issues. Representatives of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants told the building manager that they spoke with the original installer, who confirmed that the restaurant was a different venting system than the residential units, according to emails provided for lawyer Thomas Carpenter Learke, who represented the condo association.

However, residents said the property manager remained convinced that the restaurant and residence vents had been connected, leading to the odor and particulate entering some of the condos, per smash. At the very least, they said they needed access to the restaurant to figure out how to solve the problem.

By March, Editor of Douglas Development considered the matter done. Other discussing its actually, we feel that we have made a good faith effort to investigate these complaints over the past few months, be wrote in an email to the property manager, outlining an on-site visit earlier that month, which included the contractor who did the original build-out for the restaurant.

"We pointed out in turn the specific locations of the vents almost level and the side of the building could be concluded that there was no way there are getting into the building above," Kramer wrote in the email. "We appreciate your diligence but given the meeting on site with the contractor as well as our knowledge of the building systems, we do not believe this issue is related to our

restaurant."

The condo association was not satisfied, and the property manager continued to inspect the drawings and permits for the restaurant. "They're basically saying, 'We don't have a problem,'" Terkovitz said. But the particulars and the odors continued, and he believed the fact to solving that issue was somewhere in the ductwork that the restaurant wouldn't let them inspect.

In May, the tenant association complained to the air quality section of the D.C. Department of Energy and the Environment. An inspector went to the building the following day but did not identify any violations.

"While during the inspection, our inspector did observe ductwork on the along the restaurant, and the restaurant went on E and 7th Streets, DOER does not regulate building venting and the inspection did not perform a more detailed investigation for potential interior venting connections from the restaurant," wrote Jacob Jaegull, the chief of the cough zone and enforcement branch of the DOER air quality division, in response to the complaint. He explained that indoor air quality issues are largely not within the property purpose.

Douglas Development and Gordon Ramsay Restaurants have since cited the lack of inspection violations as further connections of the restaurant, according to emails.

The inspection has not enjoyed the condo association, which is considering taking the complaints to another city against the Department of Buildings.

Terkovitz and other residents attempted to make the vents to see whether they could find a connection between the residential and restaurant ducts. However, the lights and turns of the ducts failed their attempt.

The condo association hired Gordon Engineering Consulting Services to conduct indoor air quality testing of the building. Douglas Development and Gordon Ramsay Street Burger did not provide access to the restaurant or its venting system for the restaurant.

The resulting report found a "strong smoke odor" to the afternoon hours in the units where occupants had complained. Among the findings that particulars spilled at noon and approximately 2 p.m. While the report noted that the assessment wasn't designed to identify the source of the particulates, the timeline could "be concluded as correlating with opening and subsequent operations of the restaurant as the most logical source."

To more conclusively determine the source, the report said, 82.9 would want to conduct sampling with the restaurant's kitchen, exhaust system and cooking conditions.

But a late-this email from Randal French-Baker, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global general counsel, said, "At this time, we do not agree to provide access to the premises for the installation of equipment or the proposed test area."

Leismund wants to picket the restaurant. "Get it fixed. Be a human, be a neighbor," he said. "I want to put a poster board down, which will cover direct statements about. Please consider rating somewhere else because of this: I mean, how can they sit there and go. Oh well!" So far, the board has told him to hold off.

He added that residents are also concerned about the effect on their property values if the problem isn't solved. "Because who would want to come in here," he said. "You can't it, you go. I'm not going to move in here."

Terkovitz said he isn't concerned about spending some of the condo association's reserve to continue adjudicating this matter, because "we're confident we're in the right."

The next about trying to get out of the condo association's employment, he wants to see a building neighborhood and doesn't object to the idea of a food establishment on the ground floor. In the meantime, he remains concerned that our tenant is making the building steady and virtually for others and won't let them inspect it.

There are many other cities Gordon Ramsay won't let us into a suit - I can't tolerate that," he said.

Go-go pioneer's family says it has been sidelined

meant to commonsense the D.C.-born poorer's 50th anniversary.

Brown's family told DPB in February that it was raosteding support for the event, according to Brown's son, Noko Brown. The year is the first state that weren't inception that the Chuck Brown Band, which includes two of his children, is not headlining the festival.

Three years ago, the concert marvellous Chuck Brown's Imperial Park to Fort Dupont Park to accommodate larger crowds and safety concerns.

"We used to plan Chuck Brown. Due to the kitchen, had to be back when it was at my father's park," Noko said. "Since it hasn't been there, a lot of things have felt to the warmth on their past, and they have written a few words about it as far as how we go about protecting the father's brand and legacy."

The social media posts announcing the family's concern at support for the event were not with overwhelming praise from fans and community members.

Brown, a patriotic and hand-healer known as the "Godfather of Go-Go" died in 2012. In 2016, the city dedicated public South-east's Langdon neighborhood to the honor, underscoring his role in founding one of the city's rich-

est cultural aspects. The park includes a memorial wall honoring Brown's life and achievements and an abstract sculpture that represents the "old and turquoise" associated with go-go music.

The family is not paid for Chuck Brown. The programming, Noko said.

"It's not that we don't want to go to Chuck Brown. Day-happen, but we definitely can't have it without our involvement," he said.

The master's office declined to comment. A spokesperson for DPB did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

33' East, who was made the official 50' at the third Chuck Brown shop, has played the festival every year since. He plans to keep his performance Saturday, though he said he is unsure how he'll proceed for Noko events and anticipates decreased attendance this weekend.

"We love our go-go here," he said. "But at the same time, we love Chuck even more. We love go-go here and it's it down."

The longtime go-go and hip-hop performer started filling the annual event because of a promise he made when he spoke at Brown's memorial service on 2012 to "vghadi his annual legacy."

"He was like father's of all it so," he said. "That's why people are taking this the way that they're taking it."

Chuck Brown died in 2012. The 10th annual Chuck Brown Day concert is scheduled to take place at Fort Dupont Park on Saturday.

In the early 1980s, Boggess was in Atlanta studying social work when she decided to some to Washington to practice her effort.

Both Boggess and Long were "Basic the Riveters" — women who joined the worldover during World War II to help fill the factory lines, alongside and effective market for the young men next overseas.

"It was very exciting," Boggess said. "I didn't know anyone at all in Washington, DC." She took the first step, and she was of a friend picked her up from Union Station, bringing her along on an errand in Baltimore before taking her home.

And was really exciting — to go to a whole other state. Of course, now we know Baltimore is nowhere. But to me, that was a really big deal," Boggess said, longtime.

Both Boggess and Long went to work as dark typists for the government — Long for the Navy and Boggess for what was then called the "Bart" — and倾向于 as many of it, and annually. They start their husbandry through work, and their respective co-owners identify with lunch dates.

We used to walk over to the Interior Department at lunch-time because of the vast segregation," Boggess said. "The food was better."

It was soon after that Boggess and Long met each other and became fast friends. Their husband's were cousins and were very close, as nearly every date was the first day.

"Mr husband loved her husband," Boggess said. "We spent a lot of time together and traveled everywhere."

Boggess and her husband were very involved in the civil rights movement, and her home is full of mementos from that era. At the time, she didn't realize she was helping make history.

"I was just having fun," Boggess said.

In the late 1980s, The Washington Post was a story about women known as "The War Girls" for their role in World War II, but the place ordered only to White women. Boggess wrote a letter to the editor correcting the record, and it ran in the paper the following month.

each other in and around DC. When they were younger, they went to exercise classes together and threw parties for the kids' birthdays in Boggess's backyard. Its harder to get together as often does, but they check in by phone almost every day.

"We've both lost so many close friends," Boggess said. "It's amazing that we're still functioning."

They exercise and eat with his own husband and they separate from longevity, they say it's being social. And while they've made many friends through church and their kids and grandkids, Long has a pretty-tempered daughter, age 45, there's something different about a friend who has known you since you were 25.

"They've been friends for years," said Kenneth Boggess. Boggess's son. "They are close, and they can relate to one another."

Dorothy Boggess still makes Long laugh like no one else. But they may suggest with the world certain, too.

"I go out with my daughter a lot," Long said. "She always is: dolls that I come along. I say, 'I'm really too old.' She says, 'No, you're not. People love to see you — to see a person that's your age.'"

Both Long and Boggess have been involved with their church, neighborhood, social clubs and exercises. They may as active as possible, and Boggess learned to swim later in life, at age 60, which she said is her grandson uncomplaintment.

"All I can say is 'In very proud of her,' Kenneth Boggess said of his mom. 'The proud of the people who have supported her.'"

Both Dorothy Boggess and Long have traveled extensively since writing, from careers in social work in the Office. Boggess has a list of the countries she's visited on the wall in her basement, in alphabetical order, from Argentina to Turkey. Long loved herands, Montreal and Hawaii.

"She loves to fly," Ninomiya said of her mom. Ninomiya brought Long to Texas last year for a celebration at Long's college marking the school's 150th anniversary. "As we were descending into Austin, she was looking on the window just like a little kid, and I asked her, 'Look, What are you thinking about?' She said, 'I just never thought I'll get to come back.'"

Baltimore receives $1.4M after audit exposed failures in tracking unpaid bills

BY CENTRAL PHONE

Baltimore, Kan.

Months after a nothing audit exposed failures in Baltimore, certain for tracking and auditing money owed to the city, Finance Department officials and they have received $1.4 million and removed another $313 million from the books after determining the money was not actually collectible.

The update came Wednesday as the officials reported progress in cleaning up the old accounts and overhauling the city's collection system.

A follow-up review by City Auditor Josh Paich found the collection recommendations from the original audit had been implemented, while some other financial controls remained unfinished.

The Finance Department sent about 1200 final-bill and legal notices after the issue replaced at a May Board of Retinance meeting, seeking about $15 million for reinstalling balances from fiscal 2023 through 2026.

Since then, the department has recovered $3.4 million from the original audit, and it was received another $313 million through what officials call "administrative cleaning."

The $313 million was not money in the city collected in stead, officials determined the balances were no longer collectible because the underlying activity had ended so contracts had been made.

"We committed, then, to come back and update the board on the progress that we've made just in the last couple of months," Mr. John B. Bates, director of finance for Baltimore, said Wednesday. "These numbers will continue to fall as we go through the process."

The audit took much的时间 a May audit found Baltimore lacked consistent citywide procedures for tracking and pursuing delinquent bills and credit and number of the officials how much money it was owed.

But the city auditors' follow-up review also shows that improving financial controls has not been a simple as cleaning up old accounts.

Some controls

remain unfinished

City Auditor Josh Paich said his office reviewed fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2026 transactions through April 2026, interviewed Finance and payroll personnel and examined whether recommendations from the earlier audit had been implemented.

The collections recommendations have been implemented, Paich said, and, the follow-up found no additional issues with the city's collections process.

In other areas, however, the Finance Department has made progress without fully completing the recommended sub-gancia.

One example involves the processing of retroactive cost-efforting payments. The original audit found significant problems in the audit, and the audit was not shorten that were not consistently applied to retroactive CTRA payments.

The auditor recommended that the system is fully auditable and implement policies and procedures for using analytics to identify errors.

The department has since been informed of the audit, strengthened oversight and test of the retroactive payment process.

The latest review found improvements.

"Department of Finance has been steps toward implementing the recommendations. They hand additional staff, strength training, and other administrative process," Paich said. "However, they did not establish formal procedures governing kindness analysis, which is a very complex process."

He added that the department also did not provide evidence that staff had been trained to perform these analysis.

Finance officials said the written documentation governing

retroactive processing will be updated by October. Staff training will be recorded beginning in September to document that employee here from trained in the required procedures.

The department also said it expects to fully implement the remaining auditor recommendations by October.

What happened

to the $313.2 million?

The $313.2 million categorized as administrative cleaning was not a result of the

Michalina said the Finance Department identified cases in which the city was no longer entitled to collect the money. "I am not working at this," said he stepped on a contract had changed.

In doing so, "They are not clear that all the books and that is correct," the city also did not pay a the amount of money that's owed to us," Michalina said.

City Administrator Keith Leach said some amount of intrainment, and is normal for government, particularly as ac-

counts ago.

"(While,) a government, there's always going to be some level of uncollectible debt for any number of reasons," Leach said. "There are any number of assets that might result in, what I would hope to be, a pretty small percentage of uncollectible debt or had debt that you eventually went out?"

As of Wednesday, Baltimore's collection also was 60% across all revenue, according to Michalina. According to the National Consumer Law Center, US cities are average collect between 60% to 80% of older debts.

Leach said older debt is more likely to be written off as uncollectible.

That does not necessarily mean the underlying collection disappears for the person or entity that owed the money. Leach said some debt may instead be moved to a third-party collection agency, while the city removes it from its records as an uncollectible loss.

The city is still pursuing hundreds of outstanding in-

vision. The Law Department reviewed the 44 largest invoices, receiving seven payments and six adjustments.

The remaining 31 were in most demand letters with the grant deadlines, after which the department plans to file lawsuits. Another 100 unresolved invoices from fiscal 2022 through 2025 have been re-

ferred to the Law Department for collection or possible legal action.

Richard Clinch, an economist and director at the Jacob Brauer Institute at the University of Baltimore, said the cleanup itself is not unusual.

"This doesn't seem out of place," Clinch said of the $313 million that was removed. "Also of counties carry things on their books that they didn't clean up. The city hadn't been really tracking the remarkable even that I think the city had done pretty well in its response."

Clinch said it would not survive into it other counties were looking with a new issue.

City Council President Zake Cohen, who proved Finance officials in May to provide a total amount owed, said the city has to make an improvement with accountability.

"I think we are at a point in our city's history where we're looking to print and trim and it does not go to the level of partnership and with partnership is accountability," Cohen said. "And that can engender conflict and ensure and pay of the point is that we will not interfere and each other accountable to high standards."

"We can hold ourselves to high standards without tapping the ship over," Cohen said.

MARYLAND

New Somerset school library policy is blocked by state education chief

BY JOHN DAVIS

Baltimore Sun

Maryland's education trust on Thursday blocked a policy adopted date earlier by the Supreme County School Board that restricted student access to certain books.

State Superintendent Gary Wright moved swiftly to interview after opponents said the policy restated students' and teachers' five speech rights.

The policy adopted Tuesday is the county board, would have placed certain school library material (i.e. "young adult" category contained in students at least 10 years old.

The restricted materials, according to the Maryland State Education Association, included "Mary Feltel," "to kill a Mockingbird" and "The Diary of Anne Roach."

The school board's attorney, Gordana Schlenkeldt, said Illinois are voted for materials the board publicly approved 1970 titles on June 10 and no books were removed. He said the policy uses the Supreme Court's three-part University test and provides the board's authority over spending.

Schlenkeldt said Wright may have been pressured by the board, city council officials of the board's definition of "young adults," but argued that Maryland law does

not treat 10-year-olds as adults.

"Likewise, minors cannot be showed just yes, righted sexual pornographic and adult materials as quality education under any circumstances and I do not think that the State Superintendent would approve such action," she said in an email.

The county measure defines "young adults" as ages 18 to 20, born minors from adult library materials and requires a board majority to approve any book added to or removed from school libraries.

Wright said she stated the board's approval of the policy for all days to review its compliance with Maryland law, including the Freedom to Read Act.

Before the Somerset board approved the policy Tuesday on a 14 vote with one abstention, the teachers union said it imposed two-pound-based restrictions, threatened librarians with unlawful discipline and bypassed Maryland's required book-review process.

The union vowed to challenge the policy through every available administration and judicial avenue.

ACLU of Maryland Legal Districts (Advoula Area) said community members, families and advocacy groups had responded wanted Somerset school officials that the policy violated the rights of students and educators.

"The fact that the Somerset Board majority pushed through this extended policy irrespective of how the term is deeply troubling," he said.

Tom Marenick, an Eastern Shore attorney, said the ACLU was "fined right" and that the dispute restless on First Amendment provisions. He accused the board of trying to decide "what books could and which don't" based on what he called for "perceived community standards."

"I think you could look at this and see this is exactly what freedom of speech is about," Marenick said. "That's just not what the Constitution is about."

Thursday's order was not an open morning, but a formal exercise of the superintendent's power to suspend local board action. Maryland law prohibits removing library materials because of partisan, electorate or religious disapproval and requires challenged materials to remain available vis-a-vis a review to complete.

The order follows other recent state-sections of Somerset school officials.

Maryland's education inspector warned to July 1992 that an earlier version of the policy might violate state law. library standards and First Amendment rights. The state also intervened in the public attempt to ensure their Superintendent Jim Tucker Mitchell.

OBITUARIES

DR. GARY HAMMSTED, 73

Surgeon who practiced for 47 years treated his patients with tumidity

BY NEAR RICHMANN

Baltimore Sun

Dr. Gary Hammanto, a respect of general surgeon whose practice in the Baltimore area spanned 47 years, died of cancer July 22 at his home. The Latterville resident was 71.

"He was the surgeon that all of the other surgeons went to," said Dr. Joseph Bennett, senior chief of surgery for Liabilities Health and Dr. Hammanto's supervisor. "He was unbelievably talented and very driven, while also very humble. I've known a lot of training, surgeons who left the need to tell people how amazing they were. Gary was very quiet about that, which is part of what people loved about him."

Dr. Hammanto was born in Stockton, California, to Japanese-American parents who had been incarcerated in uncommon camps during World War II. The best in his family to attend college, he studied biochemistry at California Polytechnic State University before earning a medical degree in an accelerated three-year program at Chicago Medical School. He did his residency at State Hospital of Baltimore and became chief resident.

Dr. Hammanto spent most of his career with Liabilities Health, serving Northwest Hospital in Randalintown with an offer to Orange Mills. He specialized in automatic invasive and laparoscopic surgeries, treating every-

thing from gall bladders to column to increase, while always adapting to the latest techniques, colleagues said.

"Even as an older surgeon, he embraced colonic surgery and because one of the best at that in the region," Dr. Bennett said. "He always had little penalis to show and was proud to help teach the next

generation of surgeons."

Dr. Hammanto was a pensioner at his operating room, and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Lehman, an anesthesiologist who often worked beside him. "But as I've cured and noticed as he was [during surgery], outside the hospital, he was almost a child at heart. Gary placed golf and he loved fishing—though he really did most fishing than arching."

"He was happy not to put his pole in the water," she said.

Every vacation found him angling somewhere, she said.

"In April, while in Egypt, we

were starting at the perinatal where he said, 'The young fishing'. He drove three hours, to the Red Sea, fifteen out a foot; and caught a seven-inch fish—and was as happy as can he."

His most patients seemed everywhere. Invariably, while not on the town, Dr. Lehman said, "we'd run into someone whom Gary had had hands on it."

Peanuts were up, at Rose Hospital, she recalled, her husband worked at a public to serve a human brain with a lacusine inflow.

"In our point, Gary said he could feel that woman's soul have her body," she said. "Now, Gary wasn't particularly spiritual, but he said he could feel her about—in the 10s directed, 'You get back in there, you're not going anywhere! Get back in that body!' He said it was and over."

The patient survived five times, on the anniversary of her surgery. She woman has reached out to Dr. Hammanto to thank Dr. Dr. Lehman said her husband was working until a month before he died.

In addition to his wife of seven years, Dr. Hammanto is survived by a son, Chris, of Towers, Maryland, Washington's Jeremiah's Kennedy of Virginia Beach, and Madeline Kennedy, of New York, and Steve granddaughters.

A celebration of the vast reception will be held at Hyatt Regency, County Club, 100 Hyattville Rd., Great Valley Maryland, on Aug. 24 from 6 to 9 p.m.

制度与权力批判深度研判：The Washington Post (2026-08-22)

▌ 本日全报思想与文化深思雷达 (Intellectual & Cultural Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在制度结构、权力技术与法理合法性层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【白宫扩建工程的司法博弈】 [F3_6 🔍]（版面：主报深度版面）

   • 事件简述：最高法院首席大法官罗伯茨允许一项面积达 90,000 平方英尺的行政官邸扩建工程继续进行，此举绕过了上诉法院此前设定的停工截止日期。
   • 制度批判切入点：分析司法审查在面对行政执行时的“时间差”困境——当上诉法院认为工程可能需要国会批准时，最高法院的干预如何改变了权力制衡的节奏。

2. 【司法部官员埃德·马丁的离职与权力滥用指控】 [F13_23, F14_26, F15_28]（版面：第13-15版）

   • 事件简述：司法部官员埃德·马丁（Ed Martin）因在处理调查时缺乏纪律、与政府内部官员冲突而离职。调查显示其涉嫌使用不恰当手段启动调查，并向未经授权人员泄露信息，甚至在信函中暗示调查一名 FBI 探员。
   • 制度批判切入点：探讨官僚机器的“武器化”（Weaponization of Bureaucracy），即政治任命者如何利用专业调查程序转化为针对特定个人的压制工具，以及这种行为如何引发部门内部的制度摩擦。

3. 【旧金山海军遗址住房开发的制度摩擦】 [F2_3, F2_4]（版面：主报深度版面）

   • 事件简述：一片被美国海军放弃近 30 年的 576 英亩土地，在全美住房需求最旺盛的背景下，经历了极长的开发周期才最终建成公寓。
   • 制度批判切入点：剖析公共资源配置中的制度锁定，分析在极高市场需求与复杂土地权属/行政审批之间，制度性障碍如何导致资源利用的结构性延迟。

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)

专题一：司法时差与行政执行的权力竞速

在白宫行政官邸扩建工程的司法博弈中，我们观察到一种典型的权力运作技术：利用司法程序的层级差异制造执行窗口 [F3_6 🔍]。上诉法院此前已得出结论，认为该 90,000 平方英尺的扩建工程可能需要国会批准才能继续，并设定了周五的停工截止日期。然而，首席大法官罗伯茨的干预直接绕过了这一截止日期。

这种机制在制度逻辑上揭示了司法制衡的脆弱性。当行政权力在最高法院的暂缓执行令掩护下推进物理建设时，法律审查实际上从“事前预防”转向了“事后追溯”。如果工程在最终裁决前完成，物理上的“既成事实”将极大地提高司法强制拆除的政治与经济成本。这标志着一种权力技术：通过加速物理执行速度，使法律裁决在时间维度上失效，从而在事实上消解了分权制衡的法理约束。

专题二：专业主义的崩塌与官僚体系的武器化

美国司法部官员埃德·马丁的离职事件 [F13_23, F14_26]，揭示了现代官僚制在面对政治极化时的结构性风险。根据韦伯的理论，官僚制的合法性建立在“非人格化”的专业主义之上。然而，马丁的行为模式呈现出极强的“人格化”倾向：他被指控使用不恰当手段启动调查，并向未经授权的人员泄露关于希夫（Schiff）调查的信息 [F15_28 🔍]。

最严重的制度异化在于，马丁将原本用于维护法治的调查程序转化为一种政治威胁工具。例如，他向一名参与过 2012 年兰迪·胡克小学枪击事件响应的 FBI 探员发送信函，暗示该探员因在亚历克斯·琼斯（Alex Jones）诽谤诉讼中扮演某种角色而受到调查 [F15_28 🔍]。这种行为将刑事调查权“武器化”，使程序正义沦为政治清洗的掩护。

当司法部内部的联邦检察官开始审查马丁的行为时 [F15_27 🔍]，制度内部出现了两种逻辑的剧烈碰撞：一种是坚持程序正义的专业官僚逻辑，另一种是服务于政治盟友的权力逻辑。马丁的离职虽然缓解了短期冲突，但其留下的先例——即政治任命者可以合法地将行政调查权转化为政治打击工具——严重侵蚀了司法部的制度信用，标志着专业主义在政治压力下的崩塌。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一：算法理性与生存焦虑：AI 时代下的“冗余感”现象学

在 2026 年的社会心理图景中，一个极具警示性的数据出现：20-29 岁的美国年轻人中，有 32% 的人对 AI 的担忧程度超过了对退休生活的担忧 [F8_15 🔍]。这里呈现出一种典型的技术理性（Technological Logos）与生命存在焦虑（Existential Pathos）的剧烈摩擦。

从系统理性模型来看，人工智能的普及被定义为效率的飞跃和生产力的优化。在宏观经济逻辑中，AI 替代重复性劳动是必然的演进，旨在通过算法优化降低成本。然而，在微观生命世界中，这种“优化”被体验为一种毁灭性的“冗余感”。对于年轻人而言，职业不仅是获取报酬的手段，更是构建社会身份、获得自我认同的核心维度。当民调显示大多数年龄组认为 AI 将导致就业机会减少时 [F8_15 🔍]，这种焦虑实际上是对“被剥夺主体性”的恐惧。

这里存在着深刻的辩证摩擦：技术理性将 AI 视为工具的升级，而个体将其体验为生存空间的挤压。这种断裂揭示了量化效率与人类尊严之间的不可通约性。我们可以运用海德格尔关于技术作为“集置”（Enframing）的理论来分析：当人类的劳动能力被简化为可被算法模拟的数据集时，人本身也变成了某种“备用资源”。这种“比退休更担忧”的情感状态，揭示了当代青年在面对不可逆的技术浪潮时，产生的一种深层的、关于生命意义被消解的肉身惊恐。

专题二：权力武器化与制度纪律的崩解：埃德·马丁案例中的理性异化

美国司法部官员埃德·马丁（Ed Martin）的离职事件 [F13_23 🔍]，不仅是一次人事变动，更是一场关于政治理性（Political Logos）与制度理性（Institutional Logos）冲突的典型样本。

在马丁的行动逻辑中，其行为可能被定义为对政治盟友（特朗普总统）的忠诚，旨在通过司法手段实现特定的政治目标。然而，这种基于政治效忠的“私人理性”与司法部（DOJ）要求的职业纪律、程序正义等“制度理性”发生了正面碰撞 [F14_26 🔍]。当马丁被指控使用“不恰当手段”启动调查，甚至向未经授权人员泄露信息时 [F15_28 🔍]，他实际上是在尝试用政治权力覆盖法律程序。

这种摩擦在马丁向一名 FBI 探员发送信函的细节中达到了顶点 [F15_28 🔍]。该探员曾响应 2012 年兰迪·胡克小学枪击事件，而马丁在信中暗示其因在亚历克斯·琼斯诽谤案中的角色而受查。这里呈现出一种极端的理性异化：原本用于维护正义的司法调查工具，被转化为一种心理施压和政治打击的武器。

运用韦伯关于官僚制理性的框架分析，马丁的失败在于他试图在一个依赖于程序正义的官僚体系中，植入一种基于个人忠诚的权力逻辑。当这种冲突导致其失去职务并面临内部审查时 [F15_27 🔍]，这标志着制度理性对政治异化的某种程度上的自我修正。然而，这种冲突也揭示了当代权力运作中一个危险的趋势：当司法工具被“武器化”时，个体的职业操守与制度的稳定性将共同陷入一种动荡的、不可预测的情感与权力漩涡之中。
