Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence winner in Seattle, knows the importance of locally sourced ingredients and cooking with the seasons. Here he has created a simple-yet-sophisticated salad built around summer stone fruits, like peaches. To balance the sweetness of the fruit, Mueller adds bitter radicchio, salty pistachios and prosciutto and a sharp, nutty aged cheddar, then dresses the salad with a tangy Sherry vinaigrette. With so many flavors happening, wine director Jason Sanneman turns to Champagne as a safe bet, opting for the fruity, bright Ruinart Brut Blanc de Blanc NV to bring the whole dish into balance.

With the loss, the U.S. fell to 2-1 and squandered an opportunity to guarantee a spot in next week's quarterfinal. Italy improved to 2-0-1.

However, Elon Musk now denies this claim. On the other hand, Mark Gurman, an award-winning journalist and news reporter, also supported Elon Musk with his latest statement.

Happier Than Ever, has arrived and it hears the pop star collide with her brother and go-to collaborator FINNEAS on the full-length set.
Released on Friday (July 30), the 16-track collection, which was produced and recorded in Los Angeles, includes her batch of singles released ahead of the LP's drop date ("My Future,""Therefore I Am,""Your Power,""Lost Cause" and "NDA"), and takes Eilish into a different direction as she noted, "almost none of the songs on this album are joyful."
"I wanted to make a very timeless record that wasn’t just timeless in terms of what other people thought, but really just timeless for myself," Eilish recently told VEVO, citing Julie London, Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee as inspirations for the set. "The main thing that I would hope is for people to hear what I say and then go, 'Oh, God, I feel like that. I didn’t know I felt like that, but this is how I feel.' And maybe, you know, make a change in their life that makes them happier."

SAN DIEGO — Jason Ellis of Poway pleaded guilty in federal court today to filing a false tax return as part of a years' long tax-evasion scheme with former Chabad of Poway Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein.
Until around 2018, Rabbi Goldstein was the director and head rabbi at Chabad of Poway, a tax-exempt religious organization. Goldstein also operated several non-profit entities affiliated with the Chabad, including the Friendship Circle of San Diego. Beginning in 2008, at Rabbi Goldstein's request, Ellis, who was at the time an employee of Qualcomm, made a $1,000 donation to Friendship Circle. Ellis then requested that Qualcomm match that donation through the company's corporate matching program. Unbeknownst to Qualcomm, Goldstein met with Ellis in person and returned the entirety of his $1,000 to him in cash, and kept the falsely matched Qualcomm donation. Ellis repeated this scheme in the same way every year through 2017.

The announcement comes on the heels of rising COVID-19 cases attributed to rapid spread of the highly infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus. The state has announced that all of its employees and all workers at public and private health-care facilities in California will be required to be vaccinated or under testing up to twice a week. The cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach have followed suit for municipal workers, while Pasadena is moving forward with a mandatory vaccination policy for its employees.
The rising case numbers prompted a change of policy that took effect Friday at Disneyland, requiring all visitors age 2 and up to wear face coverings in all indoor locations, regardless of vaccination status. The revised rule applies to workers at the theme park as well.

Yellowstone star and singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham has listed his California estate for $2.45 million, just weeks after filing for divorce.
Bingham and his now-estranged wife, Anna Axster, bought their 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 2,394-square-foot home in an exclusive area of Los Angeles for $1.36 million in 2013, according to property records. The breathtaking property was originally built in 1947, and the listing from Michelle St. Clair-Zsakany with Sotheby's International Realty touts the home's "European and mid-century modern sensibilities," describing the main residence as "stylish, upscale, modern yet cozy, peaceful, happy, light and bright."
The completely refurbished property is very private, nestled behind a large wooden gate, walls and extensive landscaping that obscures views from the street. The back of the home opens onto a series of multi-level decks and porches that offer stunning mountain views, with covered and uncovered seating and dining areas.

.- Art dealer Douglas Chrismas, who has a decadeslong track record of discovering major artists and an equally lengthy history of not paying artists in full for their sales, has been arrested on charges of embezzlement.
Chrismas, 77, surrendered to FBI agents Tuesday and was released on a $50,000 bond. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carry a sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison. A trial date has been set for Sept. 21.

.- When the lockdown lifted this past spring, some of our big New York City museums were able to slide major waiting-in-the-wings exhibitions into place. The Guggenheim wasn’t so lucky. A traveling Joan Mitchell retrospective slated to fill its rotunda had been canceled. The museum might have whipped up a crowd-pleasing show of modernist chestnuts from the collection. Instead, it did something more interesting. It turned itself into an old-style alternative space. It already had some small side-gallery shows in place or on track, including a selection of gnarly, gripping photographs by the 2020 Hugo Boss Prize winner, Deana Lawson. But to fill its spiraling central space — high and wide, a combination cathedral and chasm — the museum had to get inventive, and it did so in a multipart series of installations called “Re/Projections: Video, Film, and Performance for the Rotunda.” In part, the program was designed to facilitate social distancing. The ramp bays, which ... More

Kindergarteners tested for coronavirus now mandated for return to classrooms in L.A. In a policy shift, the Los Angeles Unified School District announced Thursday it will require all students and district employees returning to in-person activities for the upcoming academic year to
undergo "baseline and ongoing weekly COVID-testing," regardless of vaccination status. The district had previously required such testing only for those who are unvaccinated.
LAUSD Interim Superintendent Megan K. Reilly wrote in a message to the district community: "This is in accordance with the most recent guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Baseline testing begins on Monday, August 2."

PHILADELPHIA, PA
.- Timothy Rub, the George D. Widener Director and Chief Executive Officer, announced today that he plans to retire in early 2022 after thirteen years of service at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rub, who will turn 70 in early March, has led the museum since September 2009.
During his tenure, the museum has undergone a significant transformation. A major phase of the Facilities Master Plan designed by Frank Gehry, the “Core Project,” was completed in late spring 2021 after a decade of planning and four years of construction. Hailed as a thoughtful and nuanced response to the architectural character of the museum’s landmark main building, the Core Project represents the largest increase in public and gallery space to this facility since it was opened to the public in 1928. Rub also initiated several other capital improvements (listed below), among them the renovation of the Rodin Museum and its gardens, that have significantly improved the presentation of the museum’s permanent collections and enhanced the experience of its visitors.

“Es con el dolor de mi corazón que decimos adiós a dos de los jugadores más consumados y dos de las mejores personas en la historia de nuestro equipo”, indicó el dueño de los Nacionales, Mark Lerner, en un comunicado.
El pacto se logró cuando los Dodgers se encuentran tres juegos detrás de los Gigantes de San Francisco, líderes de la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional. Los Ángeles tiene un boleto en la contienda por el comodín, 2.5 juegos arriba de San Diego.
Asimismo, los Nationals darán de baja al infielder dominicano Starlin Castro, quien recibió una suspensión de 30 días sin derecho a salario y una multa por una cantidad no revelada por violar la política de Grandes Ligas sobre violencia doméstica, agresión sexual y abuso infantil.
