BALTIMORE — The Dodgers’ starting rotation has had a lot of moving parts this week. Tyler Glasnow was scheduled to start Friday in Baltimore, but he was scratched early in the afternoon due to back stiffness. Originally scheduled to start Wednesday in Pittsburgh then pushed back to this weekend then pushed back to Monday – Shohei Ohtani took the ball and started in Glasnow’s place on Friday night against the Orioles. “Coming into today, early this afternoon, Tyler reported having back tightness,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “To not kind of tempt fate we just figured with back tightness and with…
By MATT O’BRIEN and THALIA BEATY The attorneys general of California and Delaware on Friday warned OpenAI they have “serious concerns” about the safety of its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT, especially for children and teens. The two state officials, who have unique powers to regulate nonprofits such as OpenAI, sent the letter to the company after a meeting with its legal team earlier this week in Wilmington, Delaware. California AG Rob Bonta and Delaware AG Kathleen Jennings have spent months reviewing OpenAI’s plans to restructure its business, with an eye on “ensuring rigorous and robust oversight of OpenAI’s safety mission.” But…
A fiery, deadly crash on Santiago Canyon Road north of Silverado Canyon Road on Thursday afternoon was caused by a gardening truck that crossed into oncoming traffic, the California Highway Patrol said Friday. The crash, around 1 p.m., led to a roughly seven-hour closure of part of Santiago Canyon Road. On Thursday, the gardener was credited by witnesses at the scene who said they saw him reach into a burning car and pluck a young boy to safety. A man in that car had been killed, the CHP said. On Friday, CHP Officer Fernando Perez said a preliminary investigation showed…
By SEUNG MIN KIM and WILL WEISSERT WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. will host next year’s Group of 20 summit at his golf club in Doral, Florida, arguing it was “the best location” for the high-stakes international gathering but insisting his family’s business “will not make any money on it.” In his first term, Trump tried to host a separate global summit at the club, but backed down after criticism from his own party about the propriety of doing so. Now, though, Trump rarely travels domestically without golfing at or staying in properties bearing…
By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer NEW YORK — Carlos Alcaraz used his youth, athleticism and creativity to assert himself against the much more accomplished, but also much older, Novak Djokovic and beat the 24-time major champion, 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2, at the U.S. Open on Friday for a berth in his third consecutive Grand Slam final. By the end, Djokovic seemed resigned to the result. The 38-year-old from Serbia reached the semifinals at all four Slams this season but exited in that round each time. The second-seeded Alcaraz’s victory means he will face either No. 1 Jannik Sinner or…
A test took place July 29 in downtown Riverside. It didn’t involve pens, paper or classrooms. Instead, the test at the daylong Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting measured the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association’s influence. In the end, the union representing thousands of sheriff’s deputies won. Three supervisors — Supervisor Yxstian Gutierrez left the meeting early — declined to advance Supervisor Jose Medina’s plan for greater oversight of the county Sheriff’s Department. For frustrated criminal justice reform advocates, the supervisors’ actions, or lack thereof, prove money — specifically, what’s spent by the union on campaign donations to supervisors — speaks louder than…
By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department prosecutors are dropping their federal case against a woman who was charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump — the latest in a string of self-inflicted setbacks for prosecutors during President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement surge in the nation’s capital. A grand jury refused to indict Nathalie Rose Jones before U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office asked a judge on Friday to dismiss her case in district court. A one-page court filing by Pirro’s office says dismissing the case against Jones “is in the interests of justice,” but it doesn’t elaborate. Jones was…
The world according to Jim: • As the NFL season gets underway – and we’ll get to the incongruity of the Chargers playing their “home” game against rival Kansas City some 6,200 miles from SoFi Stadium – this thought keeps running through my head: The career arc of Justin Herbert is starting out hauntingly similar to that of the guy he replaced under center for the Chargers. … • Philip Rivers never quite got the national respect he deserved during his days as the Chargers’ quarterback. Some of it came from playing for that funny little team in that funny…

By STAN CHOE, AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are slipping Friday as Wall Street questions whether the U.S. job market has slowed by just enough to get the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to help the economy, or by so much that a downturn may be on the way. After jumping to an early gain, the S&P 500 erased it and fell 0.5% below the all-time high it set the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 239 points, or 0.5%, as of 12:57 p.m. Eastern time, after swinging between a gain of 148 points and a loss…
