LOS ANGELES -- Bronny James plays piano in a video posted by his father, LeBron James, on Saturday, five days after the teenager went into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California.
The 18-year-old plays a brief melody in front of his family, smiles and gets up without speaking in the video posted on his father's Instagram account. The video doesn't indicate where or when it was shot.

TMZ posted photos of Bronny out to dinner with his family, which it says were taken Friday night. They show the teenager with his father outside celebrity hot spot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

FUKUOKA, Japan -- Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time - 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum - wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
"I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I've already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight," she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
"I'm pretty tough on myself," she said. "But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace."
The 800 was Ledecky's second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
"It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women's 200 backstroke. McKeown's victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
"You can't change the rules," she said. "I got ruled out. It's just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn't do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive."
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjstrm of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjstrm's individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps' mark.
Sjstrm also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
"There are not too many secrets," Sjstrm said about her longevity. "Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble."
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year's world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo - 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event. | https://abc7ny.com/swimming-katie-ledecky-michael-phelps-world-championship-gold/13570659/ | 2023-07-30T02:32:22 | 0 | https://abc7ny.com/swimming-katie-ledecky-michael-phelps-world-championship-gold/13570659/ |

WBIG-FM, the Washington Commanders’ radio partner, fired host Michael Sorce, known on the air as Don Geronimo, for disparaging remarks he made about a female TV anchor during a Thursday morning broadcast from the team’s training camp in Ashburn.
“After an internal review, Don Geronimo is no longer an employee of WBIG,” Aaron Hyland, iHeartMedia’s D.C. regional president, said in a statement to The Washington Post on Saturday night. “We take matters of this nature very seriously and this behavior does not align with our core values.”
A Commanders spokesperson added, “We were confident that iHeart would address this swiftly and are pleased that they did.”
Following Thursday’s comments, the Commanders prohibited Sorce and his producer, Crash Young, from broadcasting at the team’s facility Friday. Their taped interview with new Commanders owner Josh Harris that was promoted to run Friday never aired.
“When I heard the comments made about me on their radio show, I felt incredibly insulted and embarrassed,” McBride said in a statement to The Post. “In my 17 years as a professional journalist, I have never been disrespected in such a blatant manner while trying to do my job. Their words were sexist and misogynistic. No woman should experience this in the workplace, and I appreciate the Commanders’ swift response in handling this matter.”
Last week, Sorce had announced on social media that he re-signed with WBIG through 2026. When reached for comment Saturday, he responded via text: “Under the advice of my representatives I’ve been advised that I can not comment at this time.”
In April 2022, the Commanders announced a three-year deal with iHeartMedia D.C., less than a month after parting ways with Audacy’s the Team 980 (WTEM-AM). The deal was touted as a chance to expand the team’s reach on an FM station.
Commanders game-day broadcasts air on WBIG, and additional game-day coverage is featured on the station’s website, the iHeartRadio app and programming across iHeartMedia D.C.’s other radio stations. The app also hosts archived game-day broadcasts.
“It’s an opportunity for us to have a bigger reach, to get our message out as to who we’re trying to become,” Coach Ron Rivera said on Sorce’s show at the time the deal was announced. “We’re trying to establish a new culture and get this football team going in the right direction. It’s been a while, we need to get back on top, and just knowing we can reach so many more fans, I’m excited about it.”
Throughout the season, Rivera joined Sorce for regular exclusive interviews. It’s unclear how the station will accommodate those interviews going forward.
Before the team’s switch to WBIG, Washington’s games aired on WTEM, the sports station founded by new Commanders limited partner Mitchell Rales and his brother, from 1992 to 1994 and again from 2008 to 2021. When the team’s agreement with WTEM expired, a Commanders spokesperson said it initiated a request for proposals and that multiple outlets — including Audacy, which also owns 106.7 the Fan (WJFK-FM) in D.C. and 910 the Fan (WRNL-AM) in Richmond — submitted bids.
The Commanders were the second local pro sports franchise to partner with iHeartMedia D.C., following D.C.

LOS ANGELES -- Bronny James plays piano in a video posted by his father, LeBron James, on Saturday, five days after the teenager went into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California.
The 18-year-old plays a brief melody in front of his family, smiles and gets up without speaking in the video posted on his father's Instagram account. The video doesn't indicate where or when it was shot.

Authorities arrested Nicolás Petro, the eldest son of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, Saturday morning on charges of money laundering and illicit enrichment, signaling the start of a legal case that experts say could test the country’s justice system.
Their arrests come months after Vásquez, who separated from Nicolás Petro following an alleged affair with one of her former friends, accused Nicolás Petro of using funds donated to his father’s presidential campaign to support a lavish lifestyle, Vásquez told Semana magazine in a March interview. Gustavo Petro was unaware of his son’s actions, according to Vásquez.
“The money never got to his [father’s] campaign,” Vásquez told Semana in Spanish.
Nicolás Petro denied that he had misused any funds from the campaign in a statement issued after the Semana story was published, and said he’d cooperate with authorities.
The arrest of the Colombian president’s son also comes weeks after leaked audio messages implicated the president’s chief of staff and his ambassador to Venezuela in possible campaign finance violations. Gustavo Petro fired both individuals after Colombia’s attorney general launched a probe into the matter.
All eyes are on Gustavo Petro following these scandals, putting the Colombian leader with declining approval ratings in damage control, political analysts told The Washington Post. The events will also be a test of the Colombian justice system’s independence, considered to be among the strongest in a region plagued by corruption, analysts said.
“This is the tip of a very big iceberg that will become a very long investigation in this presidency,” Sergio Guzmán, director of the Colombia Risk Analysis consultancy group, told The Post. “Not only is his credibility on the line but the attorney general’s credibility is also on the line.”
In a March interview with the news outlet Cambio Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who has been married three times, said he had limited involvement in Nicolás’s parenting. “I did not raise him,” the president told Cambio. “That’s the reality.”
Following the arrest of his son and Vásquez, the president said he’d let the investigation run its course, further distancing himself from the matter.
“That one of my children has to go through jail hurts,” Gustavo Petro said Saturday in a Spanish statement. “As the president, I can assure the attorney general’s office that they have all the avenues on my end to proceed according to the law.”
The Colombian president also pledged not to interfere in the attorney general’s probe, “nor pressure his decisions.”
“To my son, I wish him luck and strength. May these events forge his character and I hope he can reflect about his own mistakes,” Gustavo Petro added.
A spokesman for Gustavo Petro declined to comment when reached by The Post on Saturday, referring to the president’s online statement. Attorneys representing Nicolás Petro did not immediately respond to messages. It is unclear who is representing Vásquez as of late Saturday.
Gustavo Petro has spent his political career lambasting corruption and the influence of narcotrafficking in politics, Guzmán said, and so far, there’s no evidence of his involvement in his son’s alleged activities.
“We still have no evidence of Petro’s direct involvement. Right now, Petro is in damage control mode trying to isolate the issue around his son. It’s very much a president that doesn’t want this scandal to involve him,” Guzmán said. “A lot of people are saying ‘It’s impossible that Gustavo Petro didn’t know what his son was up to.’ Those are the kinds of things that will take time to be resolved.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/gustavo-petro-son-colombia-arrested/ | 2023-07-30T02:33:35 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/gustavo-petro-son-colombia-arrested/ |

WENTWORTH – Ta’Liya Hollimon has had quite a journey in her 21 years and is now preparing for college this fall.
“Ever since I was a child, I wanted to better myself in all ways possible, which includes educationally, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually,'' said Hollimon of Ruffin. "While I was in elementary school a very unfortunate event occurred that resulted in me having to be homeschooled from first grade until I enrolled in [the College and Career Readiness (CCR) program at Rockingham Community College], and that was challenging.”

Hollimon's parents and sister tried their best to provide a great homeschool learning experience for her, but they all worked so much that she couldn’t get all the help she needed, and she fell behind, she said.
"During that time, I would do something to improve my education every day. I would pick up a book and start reading, I would write in my journal for hours, I would read science books and answer the questions, and so much more, all because I wanted better for myself,” Hollimon said.
“Even though I was working hard to improve my education, I quickly realized I couldn't do it all myself. I couldn't teach myself the things I needed for a proper education,” she said.
Hollimon talked to her sister about her concern, who started calling around to GED programs for her – including the CCR program at Rockingham Community College.
“The phone call my sister had with [CCR Instructional Specialist] Katie Coleman changed my life. Miss Katie was so warm and welcoming, and before I knew it, I was a few days from orientation,” Hollimon said.
“When I walked into class the first day, I was very nervous and anxious because I hadn't been in a classroom for so many years. I thought to myself, ‘Can I do this?’” she said. “But everyone was so nice, and I quickly adjusted to my new normal.”
She said the support system in CCR is amazing.
“The teachers, staff and students made me feel right at home. The instructors took the time to sit with me and walk me through whatever I didn't understand to make sure I felt like I knew it. For many reasons, I have love for every single one of the staff members at CCR.”
The combination of Hollimon’s determination and CCR’s support led her to finish the program and successfully take her GED test.
Now, she will pursue an associate in science degree at Rockingham Community College this fall, and then transfer to a four-year school for a bachelor's degree in science technology.
Ayrton Alvarado Lozano smiles from the front row during the ceremony. Since graduating, he has started his own cleaning company, and is working to expand in the coming months. He will run his company while pursuing a psychology degree.
Hollimon’s story is just one of many success stories of the 49 students who have earned their High School Equivalency diplomas through Rockingham Community College.
Many are headed to college, some have plans to work in a family business, one needed his diploma so he could homeschool his own children, and future careers include pharmacy technician, flight attendant, nurse, business owner, information technology, law enforcement, comic illustration, and more.
CCR staff and instructors, family, friends, and a handful of RCC employees celebrated the graduates during a commencement ceremony on July 20 in the auditorium of the Advanced Technologies building.

WENTWORTH — The Museum of Archives of Rockingham County recently joined with Butler Legacy Fund and the Dan River Basin Association to rededicate two symbols of the region’s early river economy.
The MARC is home to a 3/4-size flat and shallow boat called a batteau, a common vessel on the Dan River in the 1800s that played an important part in the economic development of the interior region along the river.
The MARC batteau is housed in a shelter that features an educational mural by Kitty Williams, a Madison artist. The work portrays the Black river pilots whose work was so critical to the movement of goods along the Dan in the pre-railroad era.
Prior to the Civil War the batteaumen were primarily enslaved men who worked alongside free Blacks and some whites, historical documents show.
There is evidence of some boats being crewed entirely by slaves, including the captain. Regardless of their personal status, boatmen were respected for their boat building expertise, especially for their skills as river pilots.

In the post-Civil War era, batteaumen emerged as the region’s most important Black entrepreneurs, builders, captains, and crewmen of the vessels. Many came to own their boats, as well.
By 1870 there were some 200 batteaux on the river and boatmen lived mostly in the river ports of Madison, Leaksville, now Eden, and Milton. | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/news/batteau-beauty-marc-salutes-the-boats-and-pilots-who-drove-rockinghams-1800s-economy/article_96bf44cc-2d7b-11ee-acef-9b735af53f82.html | 2023-07-30T02:35:06 | 1 | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/news/batteau-beauty-marc-salutes-the-boats-and-pilots-who-drove-rockinghams-1800s-economy/article_96bf44cc-2d7b-11ee-acef-9b735af53f82.html |

GREENSBORO — Some local restaurant and bar owners said the city should address issues such as crime and business-permit delays before it looks at taxing their customers.
“If you make it harder for people to do business here and yet you expect more money from the businesses, it’s just not going to work,” said Tal Blevins, owner of Machete.
City officials are soliciting input on the proposed 1% tax on prepared food and beverages. The local tax, which requires approval from the General Assembly, would be used to maintain and improve the city’s entertainment, sporting and other tourism facilities.
Only Mecklenburg, Wake, Cumberland and Dare counties, as well as Charlotte and Hillsborough, are authorized to assess the tax.
Roughly 15 business owners and advocates attended a two-hour meeting on Monday hosted by Mayor Nancy Vaughan. She said the money generated would support tourism, bringing out-of-town customers to local bars and restaurants.

“We must position ourselves to remain competitive with other counties that are attracting and soliciting and hosting economic generating events within the Piedmont,” Vaughan said.
She noted the money could be used to make repairs and upgrade such facilities as the Bryan Park soccer complex, the Greensboro Coliseum and Spencer Love Tennis Center.
But some business owners asked why they should support the tax when they say the city is not supporting them.
“When we come to you with problems, you kind of push us off and don’t really listen,” said Anna Freiberg, owner of Benders Tavern.
“We need more police in this city,” Freiberg said. “Most of my customers don’t feel safe coming out after 12.”
Joshua Kirkman, owner of Jake’s Pub & Billiards, said crime along Spring Garden Street forced him to close during his busiest hours, midnight to 2 a.m.
“Why don’t we compete on crime rates instead of competing on taxing with these counties,” Kirkman said, referencing Vaughan’s comparison with Mecklenburg, Wake and Cumberland counties who have passed the tax.
“We’re lost millions of dollars in sales,” he said.
Business owners, many still trying to recover from pandemic-related closures, also said the city penalizes them for crime that originates from neighboring bars but ends up in their parking lots.
“I have to pay my employees every night, every morning to clean up our surrounding parking lots,” Kirkman said. “That is because we get blamed for it, but it happens to be the club across the street.”
Blevins said the city is “way behind” other counties in getting business permits approved.
“It took us 15 weeks to get permits for Yokai (another of his restaurants); it took my buddy building a bar in Mecklenburg County, in Charlotte, one week,” he said.
“The expediency with which we work with businesses to open in this city, how are they going to be updated to being compared to other counties like Wake and Mecklenburg,” he said.
Greensboro City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba said businesses in Charlotte can pay as much as $30,000 to expedite the permitting process.
Vaughan acknowledged the city is “challenged” when it comes to engineering and fire inspections. She said the city has raised salaries, instituted signing bonuses and is advertising to fill positions.
Jaiyeoba said Greensboro also is working to put all the permitting employees, such as planning, fire, engineering and water, together in one space to review projects at the same time.
Some of the complaints involved county departments.
“With the health department here, we can’t do things like they do in Mecklenburg County,” Blevins said. “They have open-air restaurants. We just can’t do that in Guilford County.”
“We can help you advocate for that,” Vaughan said. “If the Charlotte health department allows it, we should be allowed (to do it), too.”
Richard Beard, president of the Greensboro Sports Foundation, urged support for the tax.
“We’ve got a lot of business come into this area because of sports tourism,” he said. “But driving around town and seeing these facilities falling apart. … Other communities are seeing the impact of youth sports and amateur sports, and they’re building these facilities that are far better than ours.”
He and Vaughan noted that Mecklenburg is looking to renew its prepared food and beverage tax, which sunsets in 2030.
“The hospitality industry is supporting that because they recognize the impact that it has on their business,” he said.
Vaughan said she plans to hold additional meetings about the proposed tax with “stakeholders” throughout the city. | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/news/crime-greensboro-permitting-process-delays-tax-food-prepared-beverage/article_59920bf4-2e0f-11ee-ad57-17d20f2e6e81.html | 2023-07-30T02:35:18 | 1 | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/news/crime-greensboro-permitting-process-delays-tax-food-prepared-beverage/article_59920bf4-2e0f-11ee-ad57-17d20f2e6e81.html |
WENTWORTH — The Museum and Archives of Rockingham County, in conjunction with the North Carolina African Heritage Commission and the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority, will on Aug. 1 host a dedication ceremony for a new North Carolina Civil Rights Trail Marker commemorating the 13 plaintiffs from Rockingham County in the precedent-setting Griggs v. Duke Power case.
This 1971 United States Supreme Court Civil Rights case resulted in a landmark decision for fair employment and work conditions.
The event will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the MARC building at 1086 NC Highway 65 in Wentworth and the marker will be placed on the museum grounds.
At issue in the case were Duke Power policies of the 1950s. In that decade, the company’s Dan River Steam Station restricted Black workers to a so-called “Labor” department. The highest wages paid to such labor department employees was less than the lowest paying jobs in four other departments of the utility giant.
People are also reading…
By 1955, Duke Power, now Duke Energy, added the requirement that workers have a high school diploma to work in the higher-paying departments.
Then, on July 2, 1965, the day the Civil Rights Act of 1964 took effect, Duke began requiring workers take two employment tests, which would allow employees without high-school diplomas to transfer to higher-paying departments.
The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test was a test of mechanical aptitude, and the Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test was an IQ test measuring general intelligence that the company used.
But whites were roughly 10 times more likely than Blacks to meet the new transfer criteria. The 1960 U.S. Census showed that while 34% of white males in North Carolina had high-school diplomas, only 18% of blacks did.
Aptitude tests showed sharp disparities between workers with a 58% pass rate for whites, but a 6% pass rate for Blacks.
Duke employee Willie Griggs filed a class action suit on behalf of himself and several fellow African-American employees, against his employer Duke Power Co. on Dec. 14, 1970.
Griggs v. Duke Power Co. held that the employer had the burden of producing and proving the business necessity of a test.
The Supreme Court ruled that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, if such tests disparately impact ethnic minority groups, businesses must prove the tests are “reasonably related” to jobs for which tests are required.
Dedication speakers will include: families of the plaintiffs, educators, MARC leadership and keynote speaker Sandra Hairston, U.S. District Attorney.
The ceremony is open to the public and will be followed by a reception with light refreshments and museum tours.

After months of warnings from tech executives about the dangers of artificial intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a new list of concerns.
The agency's biggest fears are not only about what the technology does but also about who is using it.
During a rare background briefing call with reporters, a senior FBI official, who even acknowledged that they haven't done significant outreach on the topic of AI, described a pretty concerning situation, or a "threat landscape," as the FBI calls it.
He said that China is looking to steal U.S. AI technology and data for AI programs and then use it not just to advance their own AI programs but to influence Americans.
He also said that the FBI is closely monitoring the role that AI may play in the 2024 election and is concerned about the spread of disinformation and deep fake videos.
He said that criminals and terrorists are seeking AI to simplify the production of dangerous chemicals and biological substances to increase their potency.

Scripps News asked about explosives, and this official said that a variety of criminal and national security actors, from violent extremists to traditional terrorists, are using AI to try to come up with ways to create different types of explosives.
He said, "There have been people who have successfully elicited recipes or instructions for creating explosives."
He also said that AI is a force multiplier for crafting fishing e-mails and for using it in other cyberattacks. He says that the FBI has found AI-generated websites that are infected with malware to target users’ sites that have more than a million followers.
The bottom line, the FBI says, there are fewer people, less expertise, and less time needed for a lot of these threats, so there's a much lower bar or barrier for entry here.
Furthermore, the FBI is spending some of its time working on being able to determine what is synthetically AI-generated content online. They are working with private companies, and they're working with academia. But as this official said, this technology is advancing really quickly, and it is hard to stay on top of it.

SAN FRANCISCO – JD Davis needed just one pitch to hit his 14th home run of the season, walk off the Boston Red Sox, and tie the series with a 3-2 victory.
He belted the first pitch he saw from Kenley Jansen over the left field wall, electrifying a Giants crowd that a few moments earlier had sat stunned after the visitors rallied to tie the game.
San Francisco had gotten scoreless performances from Ryan Walker, Sean Manaea and Tyler Rogers against the Red Sox.
All the Giants needed was for their All-Star closer Camilo Doval to notch his 32nd save of the season while leading 2-0.
Instead, longtime Giants nemesis Justin Turner drove in two runs, tied the game, and sent it into extra innings, setting the stage for Davis.
The Giants at one point appeared headed for a stress-free victory.
The undefeated rookie Ryan Walker (3-0) took the mound as the Giants’ opener, and he cruised through 2 2-3 scoreless innings in which he struck out three and allowed just one hit.
The Giants then turned to Manaea, whose last appearance was a 5 ⅔ inning appearance out of the bullpen a week prior.
The 31-year-old followed up that extended action with another 4 2-3 innings of scoreless work with five strikeouts.
The top of the order didn’t take long to do damage against Boston starter James Paxton, with Wilmer Flores driving leadoff hitter Austin Slater in from first on a double into deep right field. Flores went 3 for 5.
The Giants had several opportunities to expand their lead, but failed to deliver that critical hit for much of the game. San Francisco had 11 hits to Boston’s five.
Starting at shortstop, rookie Marco Luciano made it two straight games with a hit, going 2 for 3 with a single and double in front of 37,470 fans. A few batters later, Luciano scored the game’s second run on Slater’s 17th RBI of the season.
After Doval’s ninth-inning hiccup, the Giants (57-48) handed the Red Sox (56-48) a rare loss (56-48). Boston entered the game on a five-game winning streak and victors in 16 of its last 21.

RALEIGH — A new study of occupational-licensing laws is out — and the results aren’t pretty for North Carolina.
According to a report by the Archbridge Institute, which studies barriers to economic mobility, the Tar Heel State has the eighth-highest level of occupational licensing in the country. That’s higher than any of our neighboring states. Indeed, one of our major competitors for people and investment, Georgia, has made it much easier for its natives and newcomers alike to pursue new economic opportunities. It ranks 32nd on the occupational-licensing index, which was created for Archbridge by two University of West Virginia researchers.
Why worry about licensing laws? Because there is compelling evidence that they hurt many workers, consumers and would-be entrepreneurs. A 2022 study by Southern Illinois University professor Alicia Plemmons found that “as the monetary cost of fees and the time investment of experience and education for each worker increases, firms are less likely to locate in high-cost states.”

The effect is especially pronounced during economic downturns. A 2020 paper in the International Journal of Business & Applied Sciences considered what happened after the American economy turned south in 2007. “Comparing the beginning of the Great Recession to the trough,” the authors found that “counties in states with more licensing rules suffered greater losses in business establishments than counties with less burdensome laws.”
There are, of course, some people who benefit from such regulations. If you already work in an occupation, you may want to exclude others from competing with you for customers or employment. Or you may make money by training and coaching would-be licensees. As Morris Kleiner of the University of Minnesota and Evan Soltas of MIT conclude in a paper just published in the Review of Economic Studies, however, the social costs of occupational-licensing laws generally outweigh the social benefits.
These are the technical arguments for reform. Now let me give you a specific example. In North Carolina, you have to get a state license in order to become a plumbing technician. Protecting consumers from unscrupulous or incompetent plumbers is certainly a reasonable goal. But in the vast majority of our country, there is no requirement that plumbing technicians be separately licensed. They work for and train under plumbing contractors who are themselves licensed. Moreover, plumbing companies compete vigorously with each other to provide good work at affordable prices — and consumers freely share their feedback on sites that other consumers consult when hiring plumbers of their own.
Only North Carolina and one other state license plumbing technicians. Our state law requires that prospective licensees document 3,000 hours of experience, pay fees, and pass a state exam. It also requires that a technician be “a sub-licensee of a licensed plumbing contractor,” which would seem to call into question the need for a separate license.
I’m no expert in plumbing, of course, but I’m unaware of any evidence suggesting that North Carolinians receive better plumbing services than the rest of America does. I rather doubt we do.
Even if you aren’t convinced by my broader arguments against occupational licensing, there are surely some ways we can make North Carolina’s policies less egregious. For starters, we can stop regulating occupations that few other states regulate. Such regulations are the least likely to make sense. We can also make more licenses reciprocal — if just-arrived workers are already licensed in elsewhere, they shouldn’t need new ones here.
Furthermore, if you think the signaling effect is stronger than I do, convert state licenses into state certifications. That is, make them voluntary. If consumers really value state endorsement as a marker of service quality, professions will gladly pay the required fees and jump the required hoops in order to say they are certified by North Carolina. On the other hand, if purely private certification or just positive word-of-mouth will suffice, then the state-certification option will wither away.
Can we really allow Georgia to outperform North Carolina in this critical area of regulatory reform? I say no. | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/opinion/where-georgia-beats-north-carolina/article_b9388b86-2d5c-11ee-b5ed-2bbc01efcadc.html | 2023-07-30T02:35:30 | 0 | https://greensboro.com/community/rockingham_now/opinion/where-georgia-beats-north-carolina/article_b9388b86-2d5c-11ee-b5ed-2bbc01efcadc.html |

(NEXSTAR) — Pretend you accidentally knock your drink over. What would you say happened to it? If you’re from Texas, or just from the south overall, you might say it “tumped” over.
In general, the word is used when something falls over, spills over, or is knocked over. You can tump someone over or be tumped over by someone else. It’s a useful word — but is it even a word?
And moreover, why do Texans say this?
While “tump” isn’t only found in Texas, you’ll definitely hear it there. Several Texas news outlets have attempted to trace the word’s origin, including Texas Monthly, which pointed to a now-26-year-old post on a message board called Word Wizard (the website is now gone, sadly). According to Texas Monthly’s John Nova Lomax, that lost-to-time post explained that “tump” was a word meant to mimic the “thump” of something falling and hitting the ground.
A common etymological theory is that the word is a combination of the words “tipped” and “dumped” — both of which are frequently followed by the word “over,” as “tumped” often is. In other words, what’s known as a portmanteau, as explained by Texas Standard in 2017.
Again, the verbal phenomenon isn’t signature to only Texas. Many southern outlets, including Oklahoma’s The Oklahoman and Alabama’s AL.com, have noted the trend. Nevertheless, Texans online appear to proudly own the word.
“If you used the word ‘tumped’ you’re: A) from Texas B) not from Texas and possibly just had a stroke. See a doctor ASAP,” joked the popular Texas Humor Twitter account in 2014.
Musings on the word can be seen in connection with Texas Reddit, including this giant thread of Texas slang words.
In a 2020 Reddit thread, one new Texan asked how long until they could convincingly say “Yeehaw,” to which someone posed a counter-challenge: “The real test is when you can properly use ‘tumped over’ in a sentence.”
We may just never know where tump came from. What’s more, researching tump can be more difficult than it used to be since a certain former president’s last name takes up considerable search engine real estate now.
Finally, if anyone ever laughs at you for using tump, just know this: the word’s even made it into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. So tump away, Texas! | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ | 2023-07-30T02:36:41 | 0 | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/what-does-tump-mean-and-why-do-texans-say-it/ |

After months of warnings from tech executives about the dangers of artificial intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a new list of concerns.
The agency's biggest fears are not only about what the technology does but also about who is using it.
During a rare background briefing call with reporters, a senior FBI official, who even acknowledged that they haven't done significant outreach on the topic of AI, described a pretty concerning situation, or a "threat landscape," as the FBI calls it.
He said that China is looking to steal U.S. AI technology and data for AI programs and then use it not just to advance their own AI programs but to influence Americans.
He also said that the FBI is closely monitoring the role that AI may play in the 2024 election and is concerned about the spread of disinformation and deep fake videos.
He said that criminals and terrorists are seeking AI to simplify the production of dangerous chemicals and biological substances to increase their potency.

Scripps News asked about explosives, and this official said that a variety of criminal and national security actors, from violent extremists to traditional terrorists, are using AI to try to come up with ways to create different types of explosives.
He said, "There have been people who have successfully elicited recipes or instructions for creating explosives."
He also said that AI is a force multiplier for crafting fishing e-mails and for using it in other cyberattacks. He says that the FBI has found AI-generated websites that are infected with malware to target users’ sites that have more than a million followers.
The bottom line, the FBI says, there are fewer people, less expertise, and less time needed for a lot of these threats, so there's a much lower bar or barrier for entry here.
Furthermore, the FBI is spending some of its time working on being able to determine what is synthetically AI-generated content online. They are working with private companies, and they're working with academia. But as this official said, this technology is advancing really quickly, and it is hard to stay on top of it.

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Bowling's a great way to get moving, have fun, and socialize.
The Endless Sports Bowling League is part of Scott Stein's advocacy for members of the special needs community.
"(I) wanted to come up with another sport. And being that it's about 105 degrees outside, with 90 percent humidity we were like okay, what can we do indoors, with air conditioning, that hasn't been done before? So we decided to do the bowling," Stein said.
Stein also arranged lacrosse games for some of the bowlers ranging from ages four to forty-five.
"Our job is to have the players come back next week with a smile on their face," he said. "Nothing more than that. And at the end of the year, we do have an awards ceremony where everybody is recognized for their efforts."
Stein knows some people watching are hearing about the program for the first time, and he wants to get those who do to get involved as well.
"I'm happy to provide information," he said. "There's a nominal fee, just enough to cover the expense of the bowling alley. We do have some cool bowling shirts that people have purchased."
Stein said if a family is in need of scholarship help, the organization is there to offset the cost.
"There'll be no cost to any family that wants to participate. We make sure of that," he said.

BURBANK, Calif. — With the summer heat wave in full swing in Southern California, a backyard pool is a tempting place to take a dip.
After a short dip, the bear climbed over a wall and headed to a tree behind the home, police said in a statement Friday.
Police released a video of the animal in the neighborhood, which is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Los Angeles and near the Verdugo Mountains.
The Burbank police have issued warnings for residents to avoid bears and to keep all garbage and food locked up to discourage bears from coming to their residences. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/bear-backyard-jacuzzi-pool-california/d9f4c7b2-2e7f-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html | 2023-07-30T02:37:37 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/bear-backyard-jacuzzi-pool-california/d9f4c7b2-2e7f-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s recruit who was struck by an SUV during a training run last year has died, authorities said.
About 75 recruits, from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and several local police agencies, were running in formation on a street in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier last November when an SUV veered into them. Twenty-five cadets were injured.
The SUV driver had been identified as a 22-year-old man from suburban Diamond Bar who suffered a minor injury. He was initially arrested for investigation but authorities later released him on grounds that more investigation was needed. His attorney said he has no animosity toward law enforcement and that it was a tragic accident. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/los-angeles-sheriff-recruits-runners-crash/e98fc538-2e79-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html | 2023-07-30T02:37:43 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/los-angeles-sheriff-recruits-runners-crash/e98fc538-2e79-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Menswear company Psycho Bunny is teaming up with Arizonan Justin "J." Pierce for its artist series.
Once homeless and living out of his car, he now has opportunities like joining his collaborator for the grand opening of a new store location at La Encantada mall.
Psycho Bunny's grand opening lasted from 2 - 6 p.m. Saturday. It featured live music, a cocktail bar, as well as a chance to win J. Pierce artwork.
"And the cool thing is, is like, I represent Arizona as a whole and I do all my cactus pieces... I do a lot of my landscapes and stuff for people who don't even live in Arizona so, ya know, it's perfect," he expressed. "I represent A-Z as a whole, I felt like this is, this is awesome, it's a blessing, man; I'm thankful."
The description for the $75 'Arizona Tee' reads:
Crafted for Psycho Bunny’s Artist Series, featuring the artwork of renowned Arizona-based modern artist Justin Pierce, this custom graphic—printed, as always, on our ultra-soft Pima cotton tee—channels Pierce’s personal connection to the southwestern state.
Vibrant and richly detailed, his desert landscape-inspired reimagining of the Bunny emblem boasts his signature use of bold color and pattern.

HOUSTON — Jeremy Peña had a career-high four RBIs, Yainer Díaz and José Abreu added three apiece and the Houston Astros had their highest-scoring game of the season in a 17-4 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
Chas McCormick hit a two-run triple in Houston’s three-run fifth and Abreu made it 11-0 with his 10th homer of the season in the sixth to help the Astros bounce back after a 4-3 loss in the series opener Friday.
Hunter Brown (7-7) allowed four hits and two runs in 6-plus innings for his first win since June 13.
Isaac Paredes hit a two-run homer in the seventh and a solo shot in the ninth and Wander Franco added a home run in the eighth for the Rays, but it wasn’t nearly enough as they fell to 6-16 this month.
With the game out of hand, manager Kevin Cash brought in catcher René Pinto for his first career pitching appearance to start the seventh inning.
With Pinto throwing as slow as 50 mph, the Astros easily padded the lead. Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer with one out and Alex Bregman added a two-run shot with two outs before Yordan Alvarez homered on the next at-bat to make it 16-2.
Houston’s 17 runs bested the 14 it scored in a win over St. Louis on June 29.
Tampa Bay rookie starter Taj Bradley (5-7) allowed three hits and five runs in 3 1/3 innings for his fourth straight loss.
Franco singled with one out in the first. He stole second base and moved to third on the play on a throwing error by Díaz.
But the Rays came away empty when Bregman caught a fly ball hit by Brandon Lowe in foul territory and threw home in time for Díaz to tag Franco for the double play.
Abreu opened Houston’s second with a single before Díaz homered to center field to give the Astros a 2-0 lead.
Bradley walked Jake Meyers walked with one out in the fourth to load the bases and end his night. Kevin Kelly took over and struck out Altuve before Peña doubled off the wall in left field to clear the bases and push the lead to 5-0.
Alvarez and Abreu hit consecutive singles with one out in the fifth before the triple by McCormick made it 7-0. A double by Díaz sent McCormick home and left the Astros up 8-0.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays RHP Zach Eflin (right knee discomfort) threw a bullpen session Saturday and Cash said he was feeling better after being injured Wednesday. But Cash added that they’re still not sure if he’ll be able to make his scheduled start Tuesday.

ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña hit his 24th home run and stole his 50th base, and the Atlanta Braves used a six-run first inning to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 11-5 on Saturday night.
Taylor Hearn allowed four runs in the eighth for the Braves before Michael Tonkin closed out the game with a scoreless ninth.
Acuña went 3 for 4 with two runs, two RBIs, a home run, a steal and a walk. He is on pace for 39 home runs and 79 steals for the season.
Marcel Ozuna was 3 for 4 with two home runs and four RBIs, Austin Riley and Orlando Arcia both had two hits and every starter in the Atlanta lineup had at least one hit for the second consecutive game. According to Elias, the Braves last accomplished that in 1996 and the only other team to do it this year is the Rockies, who have done it twice.
Julio Teheran, who pitched well against his former team a week ago, gave up nine runs and 11 hits — including three home runs — in five innings. Teheran (2-5), who spent nine seasons with the Braves, gave up just one run in six innings against them last Sunday.
William Contreras was 2 for 4 with two runs scored and hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning for the Brewers.
The Braves jumped out early, opening the game with four straight singles. After a sacrifice fly by Travis d’Arnaud, Ozuna had an RBI double and Eddie Rosario followed with a home run for a 6-0 lead. It was the sixth time this season the Braves have scored at least five runs in the first, and they have 107 first-inning runs in 102 games.
Ozuna became the fifth Braves player with at least 20 home runs when he hit a solo shot to right center field in the fifth inning, then added another solo homer in the seventh.
Trailing 11-1 in the eighth, the Brewers scored four runs on Contreras’ three-run homer and an RBI single by Joey Wiemer.

When the NCDOT decided to cut Burlington from the list of stops on its Piedmont train, Ryan Johnson considered it a loss not only for his commuting routine, but also for his sense of community.
Johnson, a philosophy professor at Elon University, was used to a schedule that for him had begun nearly five years ago. He'd wake up at 6:20 a.m. in Durham, eat breakfast, bike to the train station, push his bike aboard the train for the 35-minute ride to Burlington, get off and then bike to campus. And then at the end of the day, he did it all in reverse.
On May 18, the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) announced it was eliminating the Burlington, High Point, and Salisbury stops on the Piedmont in an effort to speed up the ride between Raleigh and Charlotte. The changes, made in response to increased demand, took effect July 10. The train does still stop at Cary, Durham, Greensboro and Kannapolis.
People are also reading…
NCDOT says the revised schedule allows for several key benefits: five trains each way daily between Raleigh and Charlotte, up from four, and critically, ride times under a three-hour threshold.
"At first, the station agent told me that all of these changes were coming, and that it was exciting because they were adding a fifth route," Johnson said. "I thought 'Awesome!'"
Johnson's enthusiasm was quickly dashed, however, when the agent explained about the loss of the stops.
"Isn't public transportation supposed to serve everyone, not just the big cities?" Johnson said.
When asked about the decision, Elizabeth Macam, communications officer for the NCDOT, listed ridership data and trends, time necessary to clean and prepare trains, work schedules for Amtrak staff, and equipment availability as factors. She pointed to one piece of data as being particularly indicative of the reasoning: the morning stop in Burlington averaged only five daily on-off passengers for the year of 2022, which equates to two passengers getting on and off the train every day.
"Schedule times at the referenced stations were aligned with trends in higher demand periods while still allowing the overall service to operate efficiently for all passengers," wrote Macam in an email to the News & Record.
Although other routes, including the Carolinian, remain unchanged and daily service for trains that travel between North Carolina, Washington D.C., and New York will continue, representatives of commuters and passengers say they're still monitor the situation.
"We're having a continuing dialogue with the NCDOT," said Martin Wheeler, president of the Carolinas Association for Passenger Trains (CAPT), an independent organization that advocates for passenger rail. "They have pledged to do studies and analysis going forward to potentially rectify concerns from passengers."
In Salisbury, NCDOT rail division officials are expected to attend the next city council meeting in August. Salisbury's city manager Jim Greene says city officials hope to discuss morning and afternoon stops, which have been eliminated despite many primetime workers riding the trains.
In the meantime, commuters like Johnson are left with fewer options. Beyond that, he says, riding the train meant more than just a way to work.
Aboard the train, Johnson found himself within a eclectic community of commuters, leisure passengers and railroad staff. People not quite friends in most cases, but still somehow dear to him. He would come to know and joke with the station agents and conductors. He'd even come across several other professors who, like himself, also rode their bikes and packaged them onto the train for the commute.
He still doesn't understand the DOT decision, he said, but he's resolute about not having a car. Environmental concerns, cost, and extra time weigh heavily on his mind.
"I love moving throughout the world without this big hunky, hunk of metal," Johnson said. "I have no idea what I'm going to do now." | https://greensboro.com/news/local/ncdot-eliminates-train-stops-in-smaller-cities-leaving-rider-to-ask-whose-piedmont-is-this/article_92e43ace-2a47-11ee-83cb-f715fcd4a2a4.html | 2023-07-30T02:37:59 | 0 | https://greensboro.com/news/local/ncdot-eliminates-train-stops-in-smaller-cities-leaving-rider-to-ask-whose-piedmont-is-this/article_92e43ace-2a47-11ee-83cb-f715fcd4a2a4.html |

PITTSBURGH — Endy Rodriguez hit a go-ahead, bases-loaded triple and drove in four runs, fellow rookie Liover Peguero had a home run among his three hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 on Saturday night.
Peguero hit a leadoff home run in the third, his second, to open the scoring.
Yet another rookie, Quinn Priester (2-1), won his second straight start despite allowing five runs and six walks in five innings.
Closer David Bednar entered the game in the eighth inning with the Pirates leading 7-5 and gave up a run-scoring single to rookie Johan Rojas. However, he got J.T. Realmuto to hit into a game-ending double play with runners on first and third for his 21st save.
Bryson Stott had three hits as the Phillies lost for just the second time in six games. They entered the night leading the NL wild-card standings by percentage points over Cincinnati.
Nola was tagged for seven runs — five earned — and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. He had won four of his previous five decisions.
The Phillies scored four runs in the fourth inning to move in front 4-1. Marsh ripped a three-run double to the gap in right-center and scored on Jake Cave’s double.
The Pirates got within a run in the bottom of the fourth as Rodriguez hit an RBI double and scored on a single by Peguero. Pittsburgh went ahead an inning later.
Kyle Schwarber drew a bases-loaded walk from Ryan Borucki in the sixth to draw the Phillies to 7-5.
Jack Suwinski, on his 25th birthday, had two hits along with Rodriguez and Ji-Man Choi for the Pirates, who have alternated wins and losses in their last nine games.
The Pirates had their first sellout since opening day with a crowd of 38,434.
PHILLIES WAIVE NAVY VET
The Phillies designated Navy veteran Noah Song for assignment before the game.
The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher was taken by the Phillies from Boston in the Rule 5 draft during the league’s winter meetings in December with hopes he would play after completing his military service.
If Song clears waivers, Boston will have the option of taking him back to its organization.
Song reported to major league spring training on Feb. 23 after the Navy granted his transfer from active duty to the reserves. Song hadn’t pitched in a professional game since Aug. 29, 2019, for Class A Lowell.
Song went 1-0 with a 7.36 ERA in eight games in stints with three of Philadelphia’s minor league teams while on the major league injured list with a lower-back strain. Song’s 30-day rehab assignment ended this week, forcing the Phillies to decide whether to add him to the active roster or expose him to waivers and offer him back to the Red Sox if he is not claimed.
TURNER DROPPED IN ORDER
Slumping Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was dropped to seventh in the batting order from his customary No. 2 spot. Turner entered the game in a 0-for-12 slump and is hitting .242 in his first season since signing an 11-year, $300-million contract as a free agent.
“I think he’s disappointed but not because he’s batting seventh but because he expects to produce more than he’s producing,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson. “He’s trying to do too much.”
Turner went 1 for 3 with a walk.
Thomson said he hopes Turner hitting near the bottom of the lineup will be only temporary.
“When he gets his stroke back and looks comfortable, I’ll put him back up there,” Thomson said. “I’ve said all along that I think our best lineup is with Trea hitting second.”
UP NEXT
Phillies LHP Cristopher Sanchez (0-3, 2.98 ERA) starts in Sunday’s series finale against LHP Rich Hill (7-10, 4.82), who could be making his last start for the Pirates with baseball’s trade deadline approaching Tuesday.

The Texas Rangers acquired three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer in a blockbuster trade with the New York Mets on Saturday night, an all-in move for the surprise leaders in the AL West, a person with knowledge of the deal said.
The Rangers added the 39-year-old Scherzer with another former Mets pitcher with Cy Young credentials, two-time winner Jacob deGrom, sidelined by Tommy John elbow surgery, possibly all the way through the end of next season.
According to multiple reports, the deal nets New York one of the top Texas prospects in infielder Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr.
As part of the deal, Scherzer agreed to opt in on the final year of his contract in 2024 at $43 million, according to reports that also said the Mets were paying about $35 million of the remaining $58 million on the right-hander’s contract.
The Mets, one of baseball’s biggest disappointments, unloaded Scherzer two days after sending closer David Robertson to Miami for two minor leaguers.
New York began the season with the highest payroll in baseball at $353 million but started the day 17 games behind Atlanta in the NL East and 6 1/2 games back in the wild-card race.
The next question is what the Mets will do with Justin Verlander, another three-time Cy Young winner signed through next season. There should be plenty of suitors for the 40-year-old right-hander.
Texas has emerged from six consecutive losing seasons to lead the AL West all but one day in three-time World Series champion Bruce Bochy’s first season as manager.
The Rangers made the first notable move of this trading season by getting once-dominant closer Aroldis Chapman from Kansas City in June. Chapman has stayed in a setup role with Will Smith handling most of the closing duties.
Now Texas has bolstered the rotation knowing deGrom might be out until Scherzer’s contract expires at the end of next season.
The trade for Scherzer came on the same day the Rangers said they were again bumping back the next start for All-Star right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Bochy said Eovaldi had a sore elbow, but the club doesn’t think it’s serious.
The Rangers added deGrom in the offseason on a $185 million, five-year contract, knowing there was risk in signing the oft-injured right-hander.
He lasted just six starts — all Texas wins — before elbow issues sidelined deGrom for a month. It took multiple MRIs to determine the extent of the damage to his elbow, and the Tommy John procedure in June was the second of his career. The other was in rookie ball with the Mets in 2010.
“I think we need to improve as a starting rotation,” Bochy said before the Rangers’ game at San Diego on Saturday night, as reports of the trade were circulating. “I think that’s fair to say.”
Scherzer (9-4) was leading the Mets in victories but had his highest ERA (4.01) since 2011 with Detroit. The eight-time All-Star started Friday at home against Washington, allowing one run in seven innings in a 5-1 New York victory.
With 210 career victories, Scherzer is third among active pitchers behind Verlander and Kansas City’s Zack Greinke.

CHICAGO — Tim Anderson homered for the first time in more than a year on a three-hit night, Mike Clevinger tossed five shutout innings in his return from the injured list and the Chicago White Sox topped the Cleveland Guardians 7-2 on Saturday night.
Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jiménez drove in runs with singles in the seventh inning to help Chicago pull away.
Anderson, a two-time All-Star at shortstop, hadn’t gone deep since July 15, 2022, at Minnesota. The 2019 AL batting champion has been dogged by injuries the past two seasons.
Clevinger (4-4) allowed just two singles, walked none and struck out three against his original team after missing six weeks with right biceps inflammation. The right-hander had last pitched on June 14 against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, and left after 72 pitches in this one.
Steven Kwan had three hits and José Ramirez added two. Tyler Freeman drove in a run off Keynan Middleton, the second of three Chicago relievers, in the seventh. Cleveland added a run on a double-play grounder off Bryan Shaw, who tossed the final two innings, in the ninth.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona was ejected in the first inning by first base umpire Todd Tichenor for arguing after Kwan was doubled off first. Francona remained tied with Hall of Famer Casey Stengel for 13th on the career wins list with 1,926.
Logan Allen (4-4) was tagged for five runs on eight hits and three walks. Cleveland, on the bubble in the AL playoff picture, slipped back under .500 at 52-53.
Anderson crushed a 429-foot drive to left to lead off the bottom of the first.
Moncada singled with the bases loaded in the fifth to make it 3-0.
Vaughn his his 13th homer, to left-center, in the sixth to up Chicago’s lead to 5-0.
TITO TOSSED
Francona was ejected for the first time this season.
Kwan opened the game with a soft single. With one out and Kwan running, Chicago left fielder Zach Remillard made a diving catch on José Ramirez’s liner.
Remillard’s throw was relayed to first for a close play and Tichenor called Kwan out as he tried to return.
Kwan stood on first as if he expected Francona to challenge the call. Tichenor signaled something to the Cleveland dugout, then the Guardians manager jogged on to the field, barked at Tichenor and was booted.
WHITE SOX MOVES
Besides reinstating Clevinger from the IL, the White Sox selected the contracts of RHP Edgar Navarro and RHP Bryan Shaw from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
THOR ON TRACK
Francona said before the game that RHP Noah Syndergaard, acquired from the Dodgers on Wednesday, is on track to make his first start with the Guardians on Monday at Houston. Syndergaard hasn’t pitched since June 7 because of a blister.

Guardians: RHP Cal Quantrill (shoulder inflammation) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday night.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the request hadn’t been made public. NFL Network first reported Taylor’s request to be traded.
It came shortly after Taylor left team owner Jim Irsay’s motorhome after a meeting that lasted nearly an hour as the Colts conducted a night practice.
“It was just a good conversation and, you know, hopeful going forward,” Irsay told reporters after practice. “We’re looking forward to a great season, hoping that Jonathan’s a big part of that and I think we had a good conversation.”
Taylor has not spoken with reporters since being placed on the physically unable to perform list Tuesday. General manager Chris Ballard said then the Colts wanted to wait for a new deal until they could see how a healthy Taylor fit the new offense installed by first-year coach Shane Steichen.
Taylor topped the 2,000-yard mark twice in college at Wisconsin and rushed for 2,980 yards and 29 TDs in his first two NFL seasons. He was a unanimous All-Pro selection in 2021, when he led the league with 2,171 total yards and tied for the league lead in total touchdowns with 20.
Last year, he rushed for 861 yards despite missing six games with an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. Indy also struggled, finishing the season 4-11-1.
Irsay posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday suggesting some player agents were acting in bad faith by complaining about how much running backs earned with a franchise tag designation after the collective bargaining agreement was negotiated in good faith. The $10.1 million price tag is the lowest of any position other than kickers or punters.
On Saturday, in front of a capacity crowd at Grand Park in Westfield a staff member took Taylor to the nearby motorhome. Irsay did not divulge details of the meeting afterward, but did talk about two other former Colts star runners — Marshall Faulk, who was traded after Peyton Manning’s rookie season in 1998, and Edgerrin James, who left as a free agent between the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
“I’m responsible for everyone on the team and to look at the cap money as you go forward,” Irsay said. “It’s a great responsibility and you try to be as fair as you possibly can be with the whole football team. So again, I’m hopeful.”
Now the Colts may be looking to move Taylor before he even gets a chance to team up rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in April.
“We need to make sure he (Taylor) is healthy, and we expect he should have an outstanding year,” Irsay said. “(Linebacker) E.J. Speed had the same surgery and is doing well, but it’s early in the process and we want to make sure Jonathan is 100%.”

IRVINE, Calif. — Two-time Super Bowl champion running back Sony Michel has decided to retire on the opening weekend of training camp with the Los Angeles Rams.
The 28-year-old Michel was entering his sixth NFL season after a four-year college career at Georgia. He won a Super Bowl ring in his rookie season with the New England Patriots, and he earned a second championship with the Rams three years later.
Michel spent last season as a backup with the Los Angeles Chargers before re-signing with the Rams. He was expected to be the primary backup to Cam Akers this season, but McVay said the Rams will now look to sign another veteran running back to join Akers and young players Kyren Williams and Zach Evans.
Michel was a first-round pick by the Patriots in 2018, and he scored the only touchdown in their 13-3 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl 53. He rushed for at least 900 yards in each of his first two seasons with New England, and he added 845 yards for the Rams in the 2021 regular season.
Michel rushed for 3,243 yards and 18 touchdowns in his five NFL seasons.

A northern Jefferson County woman was killed on Interstate 22 Saturday afternoon.
Alabama State Troopers identified the fatality victim as Somer L. Greenway. She was 36 and lived in Warrior.
The wreck happened at 3:20 p.m. on I-22, about two miles south of Brookside, said Trooper Cpl. Reginal King.
Green was driving a Chevrolet Cruz that left the road, struck an embankment, and overturned. King said Greenway was not using a seat belt and was pronounced dead on the scene.

Kyler Murray was the top overall draft pick in 2019 and finished his first season with 3,722 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, earning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Murray excelled on the football field and the baseball diamond in high school and college. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2018 and was an MLB Draft pick.
He ultimately decided to give up his baseball career and focus on football.
After a turbulent 2022 season in which he injured an ACL and the Cardinals won four games, Murray is under considerable pressure to turn things around in 2023. But the 25-year-old quarterback will first have to get healthy.

As he continues to rehab his injured knee, Murray said he is only in competition with himself.
"This is different," Murray said. "This is you on you. Nobody really knows what you’re going through except for yourself and whoever you’re working out with."
FORMER CARDINALS EXEC STEVE KEIM SCRUTINIZES KYLER MURRAY, SAYS QB HAS 'GOT TO PROVE HIMSELF'
The two-time Pro Bowler acknowledged he went through some tough times in the days after the surgery to repair his torn ACL, saying the pain prevented him from sleeping some nights.
But he said he’s not feeling sorry for himself as he works to get back to the field.
"I get to do what I love every day — play quarterback in the NFL," Murray said. "Did I get hurt? Yeah. Did I experience something no one wants to experience? Yeah. But it’s nothing for me to get up and work out. I was already doing that before I got hurt."
Murray will likely be on the sidelines for the first few games of the upcoming season while he continues to recover. He wore an Arizona Cardinals sweatshirt and a long black sleeve over his right leg during Saturday's training camp session inside State Farm Stadium.
It remains unclear when the signal-caller will be healthy enough to resume football activities, and he did not commit to a specific return date Saturday.
"I don’t have a timetable," Murray said.
Murray said he saw Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow at a recent UFC event, and the two discussed the perils of an ACL injury. Burrow tore the ACL in his left knee during his rookie season in 2020 but returned to play 16 games in 2021.
"I wouldn’t want to go out there and hurt the team or hurt myself," Murray said. "The advice that I’ve gotten from a lot of people around me is to go when you’re ready. Don’t listen to outside noise. Don’t feel pressure to come back because of this situation or that situation.
"Whenever you’re ready, you’ll know you’re ready."
The apex of Murray's pro career came in 2021, when the Cardinals started the season with a 10-2 record and looked like a Super Bowl favorite. But the franchise collapsed, losing four of its next five games before being blown out against the Los Angeles Rams in an embarrassing playoff performance.
With high hopes in 2022, the Cardinals were one of the league’s most disappointing teams, finishing with a 4-13 record. Murray was far from the only reason for those struggles but also wasn’t blameless. His performance regressed in several areas.
"It’s not a bad thing to sit back, watch and try to make this a positive deal," Murray said. "I feel good. Getting better each and every day, taking one day at a time. Just trying to be there for my teammates and learn as much as possible before I do stuff on the field."
Murray appeared to be unhappy with his contract last year and wiped his social media page of all Cardinals-related references.
The team eventually awarded him with a massive five-year contract in July 2022. Murray's work ethic became a topic of conversation shortly after the contract was announced because the team placed an "independent study" clause in the deal.
The Cardinals eventually removed the clause from the $230.5 million extension after the controversial stipulation prompted Murray to call criticism of his work ethic "disrespectful."
Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill made big changes after last season’s debacle, hiring general manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon to lead the football operations department.
"It’s been great so far," Murray said. "We’re actually establishing a run game. I believe we’ll be able to run the ball a lot better, which will only be a weapon for us. Get under center, mix it up, not be as predictable."
Veteran Colt McCoy is the Cardinals’ most likely quarterback while Murray continues to recover. The 36-year-old has been the team’s backup the past two seasons and has a 3-3 record in the six games he’s started.

The Alabama Department of Corrections is searching for a man who escaped Saturday from a work release program in Prichard.
Correctional workers discovered Kent Woods, 36, was missing during an 11 a.m. institutional count.
Woods, who is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 165 pounds, was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and khaki pants, according to authorities.
He is serving a 10-year prison sentence for robbery at the Mobile Community Based Facility and Community Work Center at 2423 N. Beltline Highway in Prichard.

The New York Mets have reached a deal to send eight-time All-Star Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers if the veteran pitcher agrees to waive his no-trade clause, according to multiple reports.
Scherzer and the players the Mets would receive in exchange would also have to pass physicals before a trade is finalized.
The Rangers are in first place in the AL West and hold the third-best record in the American League. But the team's starting rotation lost Jacob deGrom to a season-ending injury.
The addition of Scherzer would provide much-needed depth to the rotation and would give the Rangers an experienced veteran down the stretch.

The Mets are in the midst of one of the most disappointing seasons in the majors. After owner Steve Cohen spent a record amount on the team's payroll during the offseason, New York sits in fourth place in the NL East.
DODGERS BOLSTER PITCHING STAFF, TRADE FOR LANCE LYNN AND RELIEVER JOE KELLY
The decision to move on from Scherzer could signal the beginning of the Mets' commitment to a wider sell-off.
The 39-year-old Scherzer has not been quite as formidable this year as he has been in recent years, giving up 23 home runs on the season. He has a 4.01 ERA and has struck out 121.
Scherzer is still considered a top of the rotation pitcher and should bolster the Rangers' staff.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner has worked through neck and back issues this year. A sticky stuff violation resulted in a 10-game suspension for Scherzer in April.
Scherzer is in the second year of a three-year, $130 million contract he signed with New York.
Scherzer said he was disappointed the Mets decided to trade closer David Robertson to the Marlins in exchange for two young prospects.
"Disappointed. I mean, obviously. We put ourselves in this position," Scherzer told reporters. "We haven't played well enough as a team. I've had a hand in that for why we're in the position that we're at. Can't get mad at anybody but yourself, but it stinks."
The Mets host the Washington Nationals Saturday.
