Church shows solidarity with B S.C. victims

By Conrad Swanson

An Ousdahl Road neighborhood was shaken Sunday by a six-hour Father’s Day standoff that ended in one man’s arrest.

Neighbors awoke Sunday morning to learn that Lawrence police were involved in the standoff that began about 5:30 a.m. at a duplex unit at 2438 Ousdahl Road.

Ronnie James Clark, 48, who lives at the duplex, was accused of threatening a person inside the home with a rifle, according to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. That person, whom McKinley would not identify because it was a domestic violence incident, was able to leave the home uninjured about 5:20 a.m.

Police then communicated with Clark, who was aware they were outside the duplex, McKinley said. But for the next six hours, Clark did not respond again.

The center takes its name from Dwayne Peaslee, a longtime Lawrence businessman and business manager for the Plumbers & Pipefitters Lawrence Local Union.

Peaslee, who died in 2013,

was a man with an extraordinary work ethic, said Carolyn Chinn Lewis, an administrative assistant at the center.

A plaque in Peaslee’s honor will be displayed just inside the center’s entrance.

The Peaslee Center will offer classes from Neosho County Community College, Johnson County Community College and Flint Hills Technical College, Chinn Lewis said.

REV. VERDELL TAYLOR TELLS THOSE IN ATTENDANCE HOW HE FELT after learning of the fatal shootings in Charleston, S.C., during Sunday’s service of solidarity at Lawrence’s St. Luke A.M.E. Church, 900 New York St.

POLICE RESPOND TO A STANDOFF on Ousdahl Road Sunday morning.

Standoff CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

No one else was in the home during the standoff, and law enforcement officers did not attempt to enter the house, in part because there were indications that Clark might not have been conscious or awake, McKinley said.

“The thought was if he was in there sleeping, we didn’t want to push this particular issue,” he explained.

At least four police vehicles were in the neighborhood, and law enforcement officers, several with rifles, surrounded the duplex. An armored vehicle and a K-9 unit arrived about 10:15 a.m.

Periodically throughout the standoff, police asked over a loudspeaker that anyone in the house “exit the front door slowly with your hands up.” Family members of Clark who

were waiting outside the duplex also tried to call and text his cellphone.

Finally, just after 11:30 a.m., a shoeless Clark emerged from the house and surrendered to officers who were outside, McKinley said.

“I love you; happy Father’s Day,” his daughter called to him as he was taken into police custody.

At least four neighbors, including Marsha Morris, who lives on the other side of the duplex, said they were evacuated from their homes by police at 6:15 a.m.

She said Clark had lived in the duplex for about two years.

Carla Brown, another neighbor, said she had spent part of Saturday evening with Clark and a group of people at a local bar.

He was being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond Sunday night. Charges would not be filed until today, when Clark is able to see a judge, McKinley said.

the nine people shot and killed Wednesday at the historic Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C. “I was extremely moved by what happened in Charleston,” she said. “And being here it feels like a weight is being lifted off me.”

St. Luke filled quickly Sunday, and pew space was in short supply. Several people familiar with the congregation made trips to the basement, fetching folding chairs to accommodate the largerthan-usual crowd.

Several local clergymen and women led the service, encouraging those in attendance to greet each other, shake hands, hug and share goodwill.

After a brief song, St. Luke’s Rev. Verdell Taylor approached the pulpit, speaking of his reaction to the shooting, which has captured the nation’s thoughts and prayers.

“I felt numb from the beginning,” he told the crowd. “I was trying to wrap my mind around it.

“When you have this kind of emotion attached to A.M.E., you feel this is right here,” Taylor said, striking his chest with his fist. “Right at home. And it pierced me.

“All of a sudden you find yourselves weeping.

And then you pick up and you keep going.”

Taylor then turned to

“

I felt numb from the beginning. I was trying to wrap my mind around it. When you have this kind of emotion attached to A.M.E., you feel this is right here. Right at home.”

the audience for participation, encouraging them to approach the microphone to share their thoughts and feelings on the Charleston tragedy.

Many people took their turns speaking to the crowd. Personal experiences, fear, frustration, faith, forgiveness and hope were all discussed.

One of many adding to the conversation, Shawn Alexander approached the podium and began by condemning Wednesday’s slayings as “an act of terror.”

Recalling a home he saw earlier in the day flying the confederate flag “as high as can possibly be,” Alexander told the crowd that Lawrence isn’t untouched by racism and the community must come together, acknowledge problems that exist, work to combat them and take action against complacency.

“We must continue to fight, continue to educate and let people understand that racism exists and that terrorism exists — and terrorism comes from within our nation, not only from the outside,” Alexander said.

One of the last to take their turn at the micro-

Center

phone was Clarence Scott, who noted the majority of the crowd was elderly.

Scott praised the older generations for sharing their experiences and pleaded with them to continue their work.

But it is up to younger generations to learn from those experiences and implement change, he said.

“Parents, grandparents, continue to be that beacon of light that can instill the experiences in those kids that are necessary for change,” he said.

As the service of solidarity drew to a close, the church’s pianist began playing softly. The congregation joined hands, swaying as they sang the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”

“Together you can change things, you can change attitudes and you can change your heart,” Taylor said after closing the public comment session. “I thank you for your truth, but now what are you going to do about it?”

“Really you’re enrolling in their courses with their faculty,” she said.

“They’re the entity, and we’re the facility that brings it to Lawrence.”

Classes are set to begin Aug. 10, Hunt said. They are open for enrollment up until that starting date.

In addition, the center is hosting an open enrollment day on July 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Centennial School, 2145 Louisiana St. Tours of the still-under-construction facility are also available every Wednesday through July 29 at 4:30 p.m. They can be scheduled by calling 865-4411 or by emailing mhunt@lawrencechamber.com to reserve a spot.

Going forward, the Peaslee Center will be open to hosting classes from any school, so long as the proposed curriculum does not compete with that of Kansas University, Hunt said.

In addition to regular classes, the Peaslee Center will also work with businesses to create new training opportunities for existing employees. This way the facility is not only helping to train a new workforce, but working to improve the current workforce, Hunt said.

If somebody wants us to teach employees about hydraulics and we can get more businesses involved and each of them can send one or two students, then you get 10 students and you’ve got a class.”

The Peaslee Center has been spearheaded by the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County. It is located in the 77,000-square-foot former Honeywell Industries building.

When the center first opens, it will offer classes

in construction technology and advanced manufacturing, Hunt said. But as it grows, HVAC training (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) facilities along with an auto shop may be added.

“Truthfully we’re open to adding whatever the community needs,” Hunt said. “But we’ve got to raise the money first.”

The Peaslee Center will share its building with the Lawrence Workforce Center, and the Lawrence school district’s College and Career Center is being built nearby, Hunt said. All three organizations will work together

to build and strengthen Lawrence’s workforce.

“They’ll concentrate more on high school students, and we’ll concentrate more on adults,” Hunt said. “And the students will go back and forth according to their interests.”

So far, around 50 adults and nearly 200 high school students have enrolled in Peaslee Center classes, Hunt said. The facility expects those numbers to grow in the coming weeks.

More information and enrollment opportunities can be found online at peasleetech.org or by calling 865-4426.

Step 1: Purchase a 4-foot retrofit LED light kit. Depending on the lighting needs for the space, a single LED kit may produce enough light to satisfactorily replace multiple bulbs. Additional LED kits can be easily added if desired.

Step 2: Use the circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical service panel to turn off the power to the light fixture in question.

A painting by a local artist has been stolen from the Phoenix Gallery, 825 Massachusetts St. The painting, “Bowl of Cherries” by Jessica Rold, was stolen off the wall of the main gallery, said the gallery’s manager, Sue Shea. The painting is relatively small, in an oval vintage frame that measures about 18 inches vertically, Shea said. Store personnel think the painting was stolen Thursday.

In the five years the gallery has been open, nothing has ever been stolen off the walls, Shea said.

“We’re heartbroken,” she said. “It’s the trust issue.”

The gallery, which has already compensated Rold for the loss of the painting, is offering a $500 reward for its return.

“It’s not about the money,” Shea said. “Each piece in there is something that’s made by hand. We are hoping someone will have a change of heart and will return it.”

“It was definitely one of the pieces I’m most proud of,” she said. “In every piece there is a little bit of you that goes into it.”

Food trucks and snacks will be mixed in among the booths, which will be spread up and down Oak Street and Second Street.

One change this year will be the live music location.

For the inaugural event last year, a stage was set up in the Centennial Park parking lot, but Burch said that turned out to be too far away from the action.

This year, bands will perform in the Pink Zebra parking lot off Oak Street.

The bands, which all specialize in Americana or folk music, will include: The Blackbird Revue from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; The Thursdays from 1 to 2 p.m.;

The theme is Kandinsky Art for Kids, referring to artist Wassily Kandinsky, whose abstract art often featured circles. The children’s area will include balloon art, a juggler, art activities, games and other entertainment.

K-Love radio also will broadcast live from the event.

The festival will go on rain or shine, but the Bonner Blast is prepared to reschedule in the case of inclement weather. The rain date is July 2.

et me quash all dreams of an outdoor fun center with go-karts, minigolf, batting cages and other such features on a prominent piece of West Lawrence property. This is the official notice that we all should return to our previous plan for fun that involves a stiff glass of Metamucil and solitaire with a 51-card deck. In other words, the owner of the property at Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive has told me previous plans for a fun center on that site are dead.

If you remember, we reported last week that a request had been filed to rezone about seven acres of property near the intersection for neighborhood commercial uses. The site was the same site that in late 2013 had been proposed for an outdoor fun center, but the idea faced opposition from neighbors. When we checked in last week, it was clear the ownership group was the same one that had proposed the fun center, but there was no word about what type of development they wanted to build with the new zoning.

Well, Lawrence businessman Glen Lemesany — the leader of the group that owns the property — reached out to me and told me that the new plans for the property are much more mundane. He hopes the first phase will include a couple of buildings that could attract a neighborhood coffee shop, a dry cleaner, a sit-down restaurant or some other use that neighbors would like. The project has no tenants lined up, and cur-

Kansas sorghum demand increasing in China Sterling (ap) — Kansas, a major wheat producer, has seen increased demand from China for its sorghum crop.

Kansas typically grows more wheat than any other state and also grows the most milo in the nation. But until recently, none of the state’s sorghum, also known as milo, has been exported to China.

China bought 80 percent of the U.S. crop last year, or 3 million metric tons, Kansas Grain Sorghum Director Pat Damman said. This year, China has contracted to buy more than 7 million metric tons, The Hutchinson News reported.

U.S. sorghum has gained leverage largely because, unlike corn, it isn’t subject to a market tariff or quotas on how much Chinese companies can import. Sorghum, which is largely used to make fuel and fatten livestock, also doesn’t require as much water as other crops.

“We’re talking about three years ago this wasn’t even in the equation,” said Rob Hurley, an Iowa native who serves as the U.S. Grains Council’s director of programs in Beijing. “There was zero” going to China, he said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that earlier this year planted milo acres would reach 7.9 million in 2015, up 11 percent from the previous season.

Kansas, which produces almost half the nation’s sorghum, and Texas, the second largest producer, planted 2.85 million and 2.5 million acres respectively in 2014.

Sorghum acreage in Kansas is increasing by about 2 percent and in Texas by 20 percent.

In Kansas, the boost in sales has pushed the price of sorghum above corn, Damman said.

“We went from 40 cents under the price of corn to more than $1 above the price of corn,” he said.

School balance Meeting all the academic and vocational needs of a broad spectrum of students is a tall order for Kansas schools.

S

ome interesting — and, perhaps, unsurprising — ideas were expressed during a local listening session with the state’s new commissioner of education.

In preparation for his new job, Randy Watson has participated in a number of listening sessions across the state to gather feedback on K-12 education issues.

Some were general sessions and several were organized by local chambers of commerce, which added a specific business perspective to the discussions.

One of those sessions was organized by the Lawrence chamber of commerce last week. During the discussion, some employers expressed the need for schools to do more to help students develop basic job skills such as punctuality and a strong work ethic. This has been a common theme for many years among employers, who simply want to find workers who are responsible and ready to learn.

The employers also cited problem solving, adaptability and communications skills as areas in which many recent grads seem to be lacking. These are skills that will be needed by all high school graduates whether they are seeking jobs right after high school or pursuing additional vocational training or a four-year degree. These young people can expect to change careers several times during their working lives and need the basic skills to manage those changes.

Watson said he has heard similar comments from employers in other parts of the state and said it pointed to a need to place a greater emphasis on vocational-technical education that can lead students to good jobs without a four-year degree. Efforts like the Lawrence school district’s new College and Career Center and the new Peaslee Technical Training Center are aimed directly at meeting that need.

However, meeting the need to help students develop jobs skills while also meeting all the academic needs of college-bound students can be a difficult balancing act for public schools.

Schools currently are geared to teach things they can measure, like math and reading skills. Teaching youngsters the importance of working hard and showing up on time is harder to measure.

More than ever, schools also are being asked to teach a host of personal and social skills that once were most often learned in a family setting. At the same time, Kansas schools are asked to be academically challenging to the next generation of top researchers and scientists while also meeting the needs of future technicians and craftsmen.

It’s a tall order that often doesn’t receive the respect and state support that it deserves. It’s good that the new education commissioner is listening to people across the state. Hopefully, he will be able to use what he hears to build an even stronger system of K-12 education in Kansas.

Greece confirms perils of socialism Washington — Now come Greeks bearing the gift of confirmation that Margaret Thatcher was right about socialist governments: “They always run out of other people’s money.” Greece, from whose ancient playwrights Western drama descends, is in an absurdist melodrama about securing yet another cash infusion from international creditors. This would add another boulder to a mountain of debt almost twice the size of Greece’s gross domestic product.

This protracted dispute will result in desirable carnage if Greece defaults, thereby becoming a constructively frightening example to all democracies doling out unsustainable, growth-suppressing entitlements.

In January, Greek voters gave power to the leftwing Syriza party, one third of which, The Economist reports, consists of “Maoists, Marxists and supporters of Che Guevara.” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, 40, a retired student radical, immediately denounced a European Union declaration criticizing Russia’s dismemberment of Ukraine.

He chose only one Cabinet member with prior government experience — a leader of Greece’s Stalinist communist party. Tsipras’ minister for culture and education says Greek education “should not be governed by the principle of excellence ... it is a warped ambition.”

Practicing what he preaches, he proposes abolishing university entrance exams.

Voters chose Syriza because it promised to reverse reforms, particularly

It cannot be said too often: There cannot be too many socialist smashups.

The best of these punish reckless creditors whose lending enables socialists to live, for a while, off other people’s money.” of pensions and labor laws, demanded by creditors, and to resist new demands for rationality. Tsipras immediately vowed to rehire 12,000 government employees. His shrillness increasing as his options contract, he says the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund are trying to “humiliate” Greece.

How could one humiliate a nation that chooses governments committed to Rumpelstiltskin economics, the belief that the straw of government largesse can be spun into the gold of national wealth? Tsipras’ approach to mollifying those who hold his nation’s fate in their hands is to say they must respect his “mandate” to resist them. He thinks Greek voters, by making delusional

promises to themselves, obligate other European taxpayers to fund them.

Tsipras, who says the creditors are “pillaging” Greece, is trying to pillage his local governments, which are resisting his extralegal demands that they send him their cash reserves.

Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s finance minister, is an academic admirer of Nobel laureate John Nash, the Princeton genius depicted in the movie “A Beautiful Mind,” who recently died.

Varoufakis is interested in Nash’s work on game theory, especially the theory of cooperative games in which two or more participants aim for a resolution better for all than would result absent cooperation. Varoufakis’ idea of cooperation is to accuse the creditors whose money Greece has been living on of “fiscal waterboarding.” Tsipras tells Greece’s creditors to read “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” Ernest Hemingway’s novel of the Spanish Civil War. His passive-aggressive message? “Play nicely or we will kill ourselves.”

Since joining the eurozone in 2001, Greece has borrowed a sum 1.7 times its 2013 GDP. Its 25 percent unemployment (50 percent among young workers) results from a 25 percent shrinkage of GDP. It is a mendicant reduced to hoping to “extend and pretend” forever. But extending the bailout and pretending that creditors will someday be paid encourages other European socialists to contemplate shedding debts — other people’s money that is no

longer fun.

Greece, with just 11 million people and 2 percent of the eurozone’s GDP, is unlikely to cause a contagion by leaving the zone. If it also leaves the misbegotten European Union, this evidence of the EU’s mutability might encourage Britain’s “Euro-skeptics” when, later this year, that nation has a referendum on reclaiming national sovereignty by withdrawing from the EU. If Greece so cherishes its sovereignty that it bristles at conditions imposed by creditors, why is it in the EU, the perverse point of which is to “pool” nations’ sovereignties in order to dilute national consciousness?

The EU has a flag no one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a president no one can name, a parliament whose powers subtract from those of national legislatures, a bureaucracy no one admires or controls and rules of fiscal rectitude that no member is penalized for ignoring. It does, however, have in Greece a member whose difficulties are wonderfully didactic.

It cannot be said too often: There cannot be too many socialist smashups.

The best of these punish reckless creditors whose lending enables socialists to live, for a while, off other people’s money. The world, which owes much to ancient Athens’ legacy, including the idea of democracy, is indebted to today’s Athens for the reminder that reality does not respect a democracy’s delusions.

Influence of Hispanic voters will grow

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

The 2016 elections have moved into high gear. Candidates at all levels, along with their political parties, are jockeying for position.

This unfolding story has many subplots. One of the most intriguing is the heated competition for the Hispanic vote.

In the 2014 elections, it is estimated that Hispanics cast only 8 percent of the votes. So why the intense interest in this particular electorate? There are four compelling reasons.

One, the competition for Hispanic political support is not just about the present. It is also about the future. The Hispanic population is growing faster than most other groups. Today it is 18 percent of the total population. By 2040 it will be 24 percent. By 2060 it will be 29 percent.

Two, in some geographic areas Hispanics are already a major political force. Eight states each have more than a million Hispanics. The ten largest metropolitan areas have Hispanic populations ranging from 21 percent (Chicago) to 66 percent (Miami).

Three, elections are expensive.

More than $6 billion was spent in the 2012 presidential and congressional races. With current annual buying power of $1.5 trillion (projected to rise nearly $2 trillion in 2020), Hispanics have the potential to become big-time political donors.

Four, elections are often decided

by narrow margins.

Small shifts can make a big difference. In the 2014 elections, Hispanics favored Democrats over Republicans by 28 percentage points. This is a big margin but it is down considerably Budig from the 38 percentage point difference in the 2012 elections.

But the path to Hispanic political support is not clear. They are not a monolithic group. For example, there is diversity in: l country of origin Heaps (e.g. more than half a million from each of 11 different countries); l length of time in the United States (e.g. one third are foreign born); l first language (25 percent are primary English speakers, 36 percent are bilingual and 38 percent are primary Spanish speakers); l place of residence (50 percent in cities, 38 percent in suburbs and 12 percent in rural communities); and l income levels (of working households, 31 percent make less than $25,000, 48 percent between $25,000 and $74,999 and 21 percent over $75,000).

Despite these differences, there are also shared values and outlooks which,

for the most part, reflect the priorities of other groups. According to a recent poll, the top three issues for registered Hispanic voters are education, the economy/jobs, and health care. (Immigration is a distant fourth.)

Hispanics have good reason to be concerned about these issues. The high school drop-out rate for all races is 7 percent, but for Hispanics it is 14 percent. The poverty rate for all races is 15 percent, but for Hispanics it is 24 percent. The percent of all races without health insurance is 13 percent, but for Hispanics it is 24 percent.

There are more than 50 million Hispanics in America and, while they may or may not play a prominent role in the upcoming presidential election, their votes will certainly have a major impact on many state and local elections.

Add to this the numerical growth in the upcoming decades and we have a juggernaut in the making.

This is good news for America. The world is changing every day. This country needs many perspectives. It needs constant renewal. It needs to involve all those who live here. Our politicians are smart to pursue the Hispanic vote, but their efforts are not enough. All of us need to include this growing and vibrant population in all we do.

MARGEY FREDERICK, WIFE OF LATE KANSAS UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR BOB FREDERICK, speaks to attendees at the launch of the Dr. Bob Reader program at the Lawrence Public Library in October 2012.

Bob had been hired to work as KU’s athletics director.

“We were back and we’d been here four times now,” Frederick said. “I said, ‘Bob, we can’t keep doing this.’”

So the family settled in. And they began giving back to the community.

Frederick continued to support her husband in his work at the university while she raised their four boys, eventually coming to work at KU’s visitor’s center.

Over the years, literacy served as a common theme within the couple’s contributions, Frederick explains. For a time, Bob joined the board of the Lawrence Public Library, while Margey served on KU’s Library Board.

Longtime members of Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., the Fredericks also worked to cover expenses for the church’s annual Thanksgiving and July 4 activities, Ambler said.

“She did a lot at Plymouth Church, different projects. She’s a great woman with an incredibly big heart, and she’s always been very generous with the community,” he said.

Over the years the couple built a legacy of generosity around town, Ambler said. And following Bob’s death in a 2009 bicycle accident, Margey

has worked alongside her four sons to ensure the longevity of that generosity, he added.

After Bob’s death the Fredericks, alongside family friends, colleagues and even students, worked together to form the Dr. Bob Reader program at the Lawrence Public Library, explains Kathleen Morgan, the Lawrence Public Library Foundation’s director of development and strategic partnerships.

The program gives each child under 18 a brand new book when they sign up for a library card, Morgan said. In just over two years, the program has given out nearly 3,000 books, and an endowment has been established to ensure the program’s continuation.

Frederick is quick to aim the spotlight away from herself, but Morgan said she deserves much praise.

“Margey is a force,” Morgan said. “She is amazing. She is one of those people who gets things done. She has a great vision on where to take projects and knows a lot of people in Lawrence and how to connect the dots.”

“It was Sept. 20, 1971,” she’ll say without hesitation. “I remember him standing outside Allen Fieldhouse with one of his freshman ball players. I can tell you what he was wearing. I called the equipment manager and inquired about him, and he fixed us up. It was a blind date for him, but not for me.”

The two were married in 1972, irrevocably intertwining their stories and beginning an adventure that would lead them through Kansas, Utah, California and Illinois.

“He was the solid one, and I was the one with the loud mouth,” she says. “He was the quiet and reverent one, and I was the ornery and irreverent one.”

From school to school, town to town, the couple worked together, striving to make education a priority, Frederick recalls.

As Bob Frederick worked as assistant basketball coach at Kansas University, Brigham Young University and Stanford University, Margey worked in the public school districts.

A Des Moines, Iowa, native, she earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism and advertising from KU in the mid-1960s. She finished a master’s degree in special education from KU remotely after the couple moved to Provo, Utah.

“I just got interested in kids with special needs. It was one of those things that pulls at your heartstrings, and you just follow through with it,” she says. “It was clear we were going to be a mobile family, and there were a lot of students with special needs. It was something I could do everywhere.”

Throughout the years, the couple held a number of positions in a number of locations, but they always remained educators, said longtime family friend Dave Ambler.

“I think all of us were greatly influenced by Bob, in terms of his dedication to young people and to education. I think he saw something more to athletics than just winning,” Ambler said. “And I think Margey is a very active person and a constant ball of energy.”

After 15 years, four children and several moves to and from Lawrence, the couple returned to town in 1987.

Critics call out sexist themes in summer’s biggest films Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

This was supposed to be a big summer for women in movies.

Charlize Theron ruling the Wasteland of Mad Max: Fury Road. Melissa McCarthy finally breaking out in a solo vehicle with Spy. The Barden Bellas of Pitch Perfect 2 racking up acaawesome box office.

But then came Jurassic World, whose $208.8 million opening was the biggest of all time and exposed a problem much bigger than rampaging dinosaurs.

Critical voices have taken the blockbuster (closing in on $1 billion worldwide) to task for its poor treatment of Claire Dearing, the theme-park operations man-

She puts her job ahead of everything else in her life, doesn’t know how old her visiting nephews are and has a conversation with an employee (Chris Pratt) that’s pretty much a highway to a sexual-harassment lawsuit — prompting Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon to dismiss an early clip as “ ’70s-era sexist.”

Yet Jurassic World isn’t the only film this summer dodging accusations of sexism.

In a post on The Daily Beast, writer Jen Yamato called out Whedon’s own Age of Ultron for showing Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) using her “feminine charms” to advance the personal growth of the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo): “The result is an overdue charac-

Faced with a shortage of U.S. Navy ships, the Marine Corps is exploring a plan to deploy its forces aboard foreign vessels to ensure they can respond quickly to global crises around Europe and western Africa.

The initiative is a stopgap way to deploy Marines aboard ships overseas until more American vessels are available, said Brig.

Gen. Norman Cooling, deputy commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa.

The Marines will be able to respond quickly to evacuate embassies or protect U.S. property and citizens, a need highlighted by the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

“There’s no substitute for U.S. amphibious” vessels, Cooling said. “We’re looking at other options” in the meantime, he added.

The Marines have been working with Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and other close allies to determine the suitability of the foreign ships for U.S. personnel.

The units would be for limited operations and not major amphibious assaults. A ground force of about 100 to 120 Marines would be deployed with three or four Ospreys, which fly like planes but land like helicopters.

The Navy has 30 amphibious ships but says it needs 38 to fulfill war fighting requirements. It won’t reach that level until 2028 because of budget constraints, according to the Navy. Critics say the Navy allowed its amphibious capabilities to decline.

“Allowing the continued atrophy of the Navy-Marine Corps team’s amphibious capacity is simply not an option given the national security challenges facing the United States and its allies,” said Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

Much of the Navy’s amphibious fleet is in the Pacific — where the U.S. military is attempting to respond to an expansionist China — and the Middle East, where it is responding to a series of crises.

Fighting in Ukraine and chaos in Libya have also raised concerns about the need for forces who can respond quickly to events in Europe and Africa.

Cooling said it would likely be more than a year before agreements would be in place that allow regular deployments of Marines on foreign ships.

Online project opens slavery records Post-Civil War files will enhance ancestry searches for many Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

Millions of previously hard-toaccess records on freed enslaved African Americans collected just after the start of the Civil War will soon be easily searchable online, likely allowing millions of people to trace their ancestry back further than ever before.

FamilySearch, a large genealogy

organization, announced Friday that in collaboration with several other organizations it will digitally release records collected through the Freedmen’s Bureau and will launch a nationwide volunteer effort to make the records searchable by indexing them by 2016.

Genealogists and historians call the move a tremendous step in helping the nation learn more about its past and a unique opportunity for millions to connect with ancestors and find living family members.

The Freedmen’s Bureau obtained handwritten, personal information about an estimated

4 million newly freed people, including details about who previously owned them, marriage and family history, military service, banking practices and hospital and property records.

Experts say such information will unearth a treasure trove of information that many African Americans have longed to learn about for years.

“The records serve as a bridge to slavery and freedom,” said Hollis Gentry, of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, which will showcase the records when it opens next year. “You can

look at some of the original documents that were created at the time when these people were living. ... We get a sense of their voice. We get a sense of their desires, their goals, their dreams, their hopes.”

Gentry and others involved in

the project say the records will allow all Americans to learn how the United States transformed society after slavery ended. However, they stress they will need the public’s help to index the records, which they believe could take six to nine months.

“What we see right now is an environment where a movie like Jurassic World thinks it’s progressive by having its lead be a woman but actually portraying her in a way that strikes audiences as sexist and regressive.”

Portrayal of women falls under scrutiny v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ter exploration for Black Widow that still manages to reduce the baddest bitch in the (Marvel Cinematic Universe) to a shell of a superheroine who’s sad she can never be a complete woman.”

An Associated Press review charged high-speed thriller Furious 7 with having a sexist undertone, specifically when two main characters play “rock, paper, scissors” to call “dibs” on a woman.

And a Cosmopolitan critic compared the bromantic shenanigans of the Entourage movie with the HBO source material thusly: “Whereas the show used to be so quippy and clever and sexist, the movie was repetitive and gross and sexist.”

Does Hollywood have a woman problem? At the very least, it’s in an interesting transition period, according to writer and critic Devin Faraci of the website Birth.Movies.Death.

After long ignoring women as an audience for blockbusters that appeal to everyone, “the studios seem to have begun to understand that women enjoy these movies without having to be dragged to them by their husbands/boyfriends,” says Faraci.

“But that transition is slow and what we see right now is an environment where a movie like Jurassic World thinks it’s progressive by having its lead be a woman but actually portraying her in a way that strikes audiences as sexist and regressive.”

When people talk about sexism in Hollywood, it’s not always a simple conversation, says Jill Pantozzi, editor of the female-centric pop-culture site The Mary Sue. “I don’t believe most instances which are perceived as sexist are purposefully meant to be sexist, which is why we like to call it out when we see it, so people can be more informed in the future,” Pantozzi says.

However, she adds, “society as a whole still has an issue with women, so of course Hollywood does, both behind the scenes and in front of the cameras.”

This is nothing new when it comes to the movie business, says Susan Nolan, psychology professor in the Women and Gender Studies Program at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. “People are more attuned to sexism now for various reasons.”

She cites a recent study by the Institute on Gender in Media, which examines gender disparities in film, that found fewer than one-third of characters in American films were female. The same study found there are three times as many male filmmakers — directors, writers and producers — as female ones in the USA. “A big part of the problem is that it’s still all men making the decisions and the movies,” Faraci says. “They’re presenting their own unthinkingly sexist visions

Charlize Theron won praise for her portrayal of Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road. of women.”

A 2014 study at the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University showed that women accounted for just 12% of protagonists seen in the year’s top 100 grossing films — down from 16% in 2002.

“The cultural zeitgeist has shifted and moviegoers now expect female characters to be more fully drawn and more integral to the action of the film,” says Martha M. Lauzen, a media professor and head of the center. “As a result, we are currently seeing a disconnect between moviegoer expectations and many of the films that Hollywood is producing.”

SOCIAL MEDIA’S INFLUENCE

Society right now also is just more sensitive about unequal treatment of women and minorities in culture, whether it’s the lack of diversity among this year’s Oscar nominees or what’s said about transgender celebrities such as Caitlyn Jenner and Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox. It’s especially heightened on social media, with people picking up on discussions about women

derided as outrage factories, but they also serve as interactive gathering places for consumers to talk about things that bother them,” she says. “It’s not entirely an echo chamber — it can also be a place to find like-minded people who want to get to the bottom of these types of issues.”

Social media also is a place where actresses can expand their influence in Hollywood, says Zoe Saldana, who has starred in two Star Trek films and Guardians of the Galaxy. “It gives you the ability to eliminate the middle man and speak directly the people that honestly and earnestly follow you and want to know about you and want to see more of your work.”

Nolan figures the availability of content from more voices, whether posted on YouTube or through a streaming service such as Netflix, could lead to more awareness of the lack of women in Hollywood productions.

Plus, she says, “there’s evidence that Millennials are more likely than older generations to seek diverse media content. These technology and demographic shifts might be driving the current call for more gender and racial diversity in Hollywood.”

FEMALE HEROES ON RISE

The handling of Black Widow (Johansson) in the new Avengers film has drawn ire.

in the movies, says Melissa Silverstein, an activist and a writer for Women and Hollywood, a blog on Indiewire.com.

For one thing, it’s easier to share thoughts on offensive matters now than it was even five years ago, says Kate Erbland, a writer for Vanity Fair and FilmSchoolRejects.com.

Whereas Jurassic World’s female lead fell flat for most, even while running for her life in a jungle in heels, Theron’s Imperator Furiosa has not only become a new heroic icon but Fury Road on the whole raised the bar for what men as well as women should expect from action films, Pantozzi says.

Mad Max isn’t perfect, Erbland says: “We do still meet (tyrant Immortan Joe’s) wives when they’re bathing in their underwear, after all.” Yet Faraci maintains that it made a huge impression “because of the way that George Miller — a man! — was able to make Furiosa a cool, kick-ass character without falling back on boring sexist tropes for her. More than that, Fury Road doesn’t make a big deal out of its gender balance, it just presents itself as a blast of a movie.”

IN BRIEF ESCAPEE SEARCH HEATS UP AFTER POSSIBLE SIGHTING

The manhunt for two killers who escaped a northern New York state prison more than two weeks ago focused on an area along the Pennsylvania border Sunday after a local resident told authorities she might have seen the men walking along railroad tracks.

Investigators said a witness early Saturday afternoon spotted two men who matched the description of escapees David Sweat and Richard Matt. Troopers said it was a credible, though unconfirmed, sighting more than 350 miles from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., from which the two men escaped.

there are plenty of chances ahead for blockbusters to do right by their female characters.

While fans clamor for a Black Widow solo movie, Marvel has its first film starring a superheroine, Captain Marvel, coming to theaters in 2018. (Bonus: Both of its screenwriters are women.) Warner Bros. is introducing Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before she gets her own movie in 2017 directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins. Pratt has signed for another Jurassic World, so maybe he’ll get a Furiosa-influenced female lead next time.

Hollywood’s problem with women is fixable, Erbland says, “but it’s definitely going to take time and the attention of the industry. Hollywood has to start listening to its audience and recognizing that they are hungry for something different, for bigger and better roles for all kinds of women.”

For Silverstein, the key is “a single success” — say, a Kathryn Bigelow winning a best-director Oscar for The Hurt Locker — becoming consistent success. With critical mass, this conversation becomes moot.” I don’t want boys to grow up thinking that men are the (only) superheroes of this world or the only ones who made history.”

Change is inevitable, Faraci says. “This is a business, and they want to appeal to customers. Just as Hollywood has pivoted to pander to China, they will eventually figure out how to pivot to pander to the new sensibilities.”

At the same time, Silverstein reminds that films are supposed to be fun and no one should get carried away with cries of sexism.

“I want to challenge (entertainment) to do better by women and minorities but I don’t want this to be overkill,” she says. “I want us to be smart about our criticism. We can’t throw this (criticism) out there every day, all day long, or people will become immune to it. And they’ll stop listening.”

Craig said officers are seeking two men believed to have exchanged gunfire with the victim, Malik Jones. So far, he said, witnesses and the injured haven’t been much help. Residents have been reluctant to cooperate with police, the chief acknowledged, with witnesses apparently concerned that they may put themselves at risk.

Four women and seven men were injured, the oldest of them 47. All were either in stable condition at hospitals or back home on Sunday, Craig said, according to the Associated Press.

Plan to share police data faces hurdles Obama initiative has first major test in Charlotte on Monday Gregory Korte USA TODAY

When President Obama announced a White House police data initiative last month, he said he hoped it would help police “strengthen their work and hold themselves accountable by sharing it with the public.”

But some police may not want to share.

The initiative has run into privacy hurdles, most notably in Charlotte, which was supposed to be at the vanguard of a program to analyze data on police interactions to give early warnings of problem officers.

WASHINGTON

That program faces a key test Monday, when Charlotte City Council considers an ordinance that would allow its police department to share data with researchers at the University of Chicago. The chairwoman of the safety committee told USA TODAY she won’t support it as long as officers have privacy concerns.

The initiative comes out of the recommendations of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. The White House describes it as “a joint effort with leading police departments to advance and lift up their efforts to build transparency and trust in communities,” said Kristen Lee, a spokeswoman for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, which is spearheading the effort.

The first goal of the initiative is transparency. The White House has commitments from 21 police

The White House plan aims to “build transparency and trust in communities.”

departments across the country, in cities ranging in size from Rutland, Vt., to Los Angeles, to share 101 new sets of data with the public. The White House would not release a list of those data sets.

But according to Code for America’s Police Open Data Census, the most commonly shared data sets already released include complaints against officers, uses of force, assaults on officers and officer-involved shootings.

The initiative also seeks to use

police data to prevent police misconduct by identifying patterns of officer behavior.

That’s the problem Rayid Ghani is working on. He heads the Data Science for Social Good fellowship at the University of Chicago and is the former chief scientist of Obama’s 2012 campaign. The effort builds on similar work to use school data, for example, to predict which students are most likely to drop out, he said.

The idea is that certain officer behaviors — like sick days, resisting arrest charges and discourtesy complaints — might predict officers more likely to use excessive force.

To do that, analysts need access to detailed data on police-citizen interactions. But in some states, like North Carolina, there are legal limits on what kind of data can be shared.

Charlotte City Council must approve the sharing of any personnel data. An ordinance to do that is on Monday’s agenda.

“I think we need to put it in abeyance until they totally understand what the point of it is and the purpose of it is,” said Councilwoman Claire Green Fallon, a Democrat who chairs the Community Safety Committee.

Todd Walther, the president of Charlotte’s Fraternal Order of Police lodge, said he was informed about the project the same day the federal government announced that sensitive federal employee data had been stolen from the Office of Personnel Management.

“Of course it made a lot of people nervous,” he said.

“We will support the department in this, as long as the privacy of our personal information is protected.”

Flag flap puts GOP hopefuls on the spot

CHARLESTON SHOOTING

Most say to leave decision to the state David Jackson USA TODAY

The Confederate battle flag in South Carolina again looms over a Republican presidential race, this time in the shadow of mass murder.

Amid renewed calls for removal of the flag from the grounds of the South Carolina State House — a response to the racist killings in Charleston — GOP presidential candidates generally expressed sympathy to the families while saying the final decision about the flag should be made at the local level.

“In Florida we acted, moving the flag from the state grounds to a museum where it belonged,” WASHINGTON

Emanuel AME holds first service since killings Yamiche Alcindor and John Bacon USA TODAY

CHARLESTON, S . C. An iconic black church held an emotionally charged service Sunday as its members, the city and the nation continued a painful healing process four days after a white gunman’s rampage left nine worshipers dead.

Church bells tolled across the city at 10 a.m. in memory of the victims of Dylann Roof, who opened fire Wednesday night on a Bible study group at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. The church’s pastor and a state senator, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was among the victims.

On a sunny, steamy Sunday, Pinckney’s church’s service drew a packed house that featured government and community leaders from across the state, including Gov. Nikki Haley and her family.

The Rev. Norvel Goff led off a fiery, engaging sermon by thanking law enforcement for arresting Roof, and for extra security.

“A lot of people expected us to do something strange and to break out in a riot,” said Goff, the church’s interim pastor until a successor for Pinckney is chosen.

“Well, they just don’t know us.

We are people of faith.”

Goff acknowledged that political differences exist. The shooting has reawakened debate here over a Confederate battle flag that still flies above the state capitol.

“The blood of the Mother

Members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church enter Sunday’s service four days after a gunman killed their pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, and eight others.

“A lot of people expected us to do something strange and to break out in a riot. Well, they just don’t know us. We are people of faith.”

Emanuel Nine requires us to work until not only justice in this case, but for those who are still living in the margin of life, those who are less fortunate than ourselves, that we stay on the battlefield until there is no more fight to be fought,” he said.

But Sunday was a time to put politics aside and think of the families of the shooting victims, Goff added. He found inspiration in a Biblical verse from Isaiah: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”

“The doors are open at Emanuel this Sunday, sending a message to every demon in Hell and

on Earth that no weapon, no weapon … shall prosper!” Goff roared to cheers.

Clarissa Jackson, 51, of Chesapeake, Va., grew up in Charleston and lined up almost two hours before Emanuel’s service.

“I just want to support. I know God doesn’t stop, and I came to worship with them,” she said.

Linda McCone, 64, of Dunnellon, Fla., drove six and a half hours to come to the service.

“I want to be in solidarity with the people,” she said.

Bacon reported from McLean, Va. Contributing: Jane Onyanga-Omara

said former Florida governor Jeb Bush over the weekend.

Noting it is a “sensitive” time in the state right now, Bush said, “Following a period of mourning there will rightly be a discussion among leaders in the state about how South Carolina should move forward, and I’m confident they will do the right thing.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who described the killings themselves as acts of “racism” and “pure evil,” did not take a position on the flag, saying people should hold off on policy pronouncements until after the funerals of the victims.

The Confederate battle flag is more than an academic exercise in South Carolina, which traditionally hosts the first southern primary in the presidential race every four years. Many conservatives who vote in GOP primaries support the flag, calling it a symbol of the state’s heritage.

Mitt Romney, the GOP nominee in 2012, triggered the latest round of GOP questions with a Saturday tweet inspired by the killings in Charleston: “Take down the #ConfederateFlag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims.”

President Obama seconded the notion, tweeting “Good point, Mitt.”

The one South Carolinian in the race — Sen. Lindsey Graham — defended the placement of the Confederate flag, saying it is “part of who we are” and cannot be blamed for the actions of a deranged killer.

“It’s him,” Graham told CNN. “Not the flag.”

Vacationing doctor saves man’s life Jessica Bliss

The (Nashville) Tennessean NASHVILLE Dr. Rick Miller can’t get away from saving lives — even on vacation.

The chief of Vanderbilt’s trauma unit was on Florida’s Gulf Coast last week, out beyond the breaking waves with his older daughter, when she noticed panic on the shore.

“Dad,” she said. “Something’s really wrong.”

Miller took off swimming toward the screaming. At the same time, his wife, Karen — a retired critical care cardiac nurse — sprinted across the beach and helped pull a motionless man out of the water.

“It was crazy,” Miller said.

Greece and its eurozone creditors are scheduled to meet Monday in a last-ditch effort to avert a default that could shake global financial markets and result in the debt-plagued country’s exit from the euro.

Tsipras and his Syriza party colleagues were elected early this year on promises to roll back austerity measures that have crimped growth.

IHS’ Iscaro says the creditors are unlikely to offer further concession and instead are more

likely to present Greece with a “take it or leave it” proposal Monday.

Last week, the European Central Bank extended Greek banks two rounds of emergency funding in three days as depositor withdrawals mounted. If there’s no progress at Monday’s summit, the ECB likely would mark down the value of Greek collateral, Barclays says.

That, along with continued deposit outflows, could spur capital controls that limit withdrawals and the transfer of funds outside the country, similar to the constraints imposed in Cypress in 2013.

MONEYLINE CIGNA REBUFFS $54B OFFER FROM RIVAL ANTHEM Health insurance firm Cigna has turned down a $54 billion bid offered by larger rival Anthem.

The most recent offer, which Anthem said was of $184 per share in cash and stock, “is inadequate and not in the best interests” of shareholders, said Cigna president/CEO David Cordani and the company’s board chairman Isaiah Harris in a letter to Anthem’s board of directors. Cigna called Anthem’s insistence that one person (current Anthem president/CEO Joseph Swedish) become chairman, CEO, president and head of integration in the combined firm “disconcerting and risky.”

CLASS-ACTION SUIT FILED AGAINST NFL AND DIRECTV The National Football League and DirecTV are accused of violating antitrust laws in a classaction lawsuit filed over NFL Sunday Ticket. The satellite company provides the pay-TV subscription package in an agreement with the NFL. But the lawsuit, filed in federal court in California, contends that subscribers have been forced to overpay for games because they must purchase an entire season.

Last year, DirecTV and the NFL signed an eight-year deal worth a reported $12 billion. “It certainly doesn’t take much to file a moronic lawsuit,” DirecTV said.

Taiwan is 9th with Silicon Valley outpost Asian nation among list of countries creating ‘bridge center’ “Companies need almost a cast-iron business plan to succeed.

Not in Silicon Valley.”

Rick Hutley, a professor of business analytics at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco

Elizabeth Weise USATODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Taiwan is launching a Silicon Valley innovation office Friday, making it the first Asian nation to join an existing slate of state-sponsored “soft landing” centers countries are creating here.

The opening of the Taiwan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center in San Jose, Calif., makes it the ninth country to open an office to facilitate companies coming from overseas to find their way in Silicon Valley.

Currently France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland all have some form of outpost here.

“Everyone looks to Silicon Valley as a mecca of innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Bruce Bachenheimer, director of the Entrepreneurship Lab at Pace University in New York City.

“They have to be here.”

Each country runs its landing pad, sometimes called a “bridge center,” a little differently.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES EXIST

In Taiwan’s case, support will go to start-ups that have already won a space at one of the Bay Area’s existing technology accelerators.

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center will offer up to $20,000 in living expenses to each Taiwanese entrepreneur while they are here.

There will also be introductory training. “There’s a cultural difference between Taiwan and the United States,” said Larry Wang, the CEO of TIEC. “We want to better prepare them, so they can learn and do more while they’re here.”

Others focus more on raising their national profile. Switzerland’s Swissnex office in San Francisco not only provides desk space for Swiss entrepreneurs, but also hosts cultural events that bring Swiss innovators to the Bay Area.

“It’s a fantastic way to get to

know what’s cooking in the garages and living rooms of Silicon Valley,” founder Christian Simm said. “It gives us visibility and creates connections.”

OFFERS ONE-STOP SHOP

Germany maintains a Silicon Valley office for its German Accelerator, a hands-on mentoring program that gives selected German start-up companies time in the Valley, connections to investors, and staff and mentors who have deep ties here.

France has three publicly funded accelerator programs in the Bay area, including the French Tech hub, which offers co-working space and is meant to be a one-stop shop for French startups ready to settle in the area, said Philippe Perez, the attaché for Science and Technology at the Consulate General of France in San Francisco.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Among the most successful programs has been a consortium created by the Nordic countries, which banded together to open the Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto last year.

“We’re here to lower the barriers for our innovators,” manager Yvonne Ericsson said. “We want to make it easy to come here.”

One of the ways they do that is by offering subsidized office space as well as help locating housing.

Both are expensive and difficult to find in an area where it’s all about knowing someone who knows someone.

The idea of several culturally similar countries banding together to create a landing space in the valley is piquing interest.

Ericsson said she has had visits from the Visegrad Group (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) as well as the Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg).

“They want to know how five countries can work together so well,” she said.

WHERE IS SILICON VALLEY?

One question all the countries

NORDIC INNOVATION HOUSE

face is where to put their offices.

It’s a conundrum, as Silicon Valley can mean anything from San Jose to Oakland, a distance of more than 50 miles.

“There’s no real center. If you’re in Palo Alto, then you’re not in San Francisco. And if you’re in San Francisco, you’re not in Berkeley. Wherever you choose is wrong for someone,” said Simm.

Taiwan is wrestling with that.

It has put its office in San Jose to start.

“But we’re going to evaluate as we move forward, to see where is best,” Wang said.

OTHERS TRY TO COPY

In the past, countries have worked to build their own version of Silicon Valley. Israel has Silicon Wadi, Ireland the Silicon Docks and there’s Silicon Fjord in Norway.

But while those efforts have borne fruit, Silicon Valley still remains the center, its networks growing ever denser and more necessary to access.

“I would describe it as a virtuous circle,” said Rick Hutley, a professor of business analytics at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco.

Everyone feels the need to be in Silicon Valley so they come, making it even more tightly packed with possibilities.

‘FAIL FAST, FAIL OFTEN’

“Because everyone’s here, everyone needs to be here,” he said.

There’s also the desire to let some of the famous Silicon Valley “fail fast, fail often” mentality rubs off.

“In many other parts of the world, that culture doesn’t really exist. Companies need almost a cast-iron business plan to succeed. Not in Silicon Valley,” Hutley said.

“In Sweden, if you go bankrupt, that’s it,” said Nordic House’s Ericsson.

“We love the American Dream,” she said. “Anything is possible here — after three fails you get a home run.”

This networking event April 21 in Palo Alto, Calif., was funded by a consortium of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, the space provides a "soft landing" for start up companies from the Nordic countries.

TRAVEL Nancy Trejos USA TODAY

Nabbing a seat on a private jet is becoming as easy as ordering a movie from Netflix.

A number of companies are trying to do to private planes what Uber has done to taxis and AirBnB to hotels: make them more accessible to the masses.

“Instead of putting unused cars on the road or filling unused beds, we’re putting sleek King Air 350s in the air,” says Nick Kennedy, founder and CEO of Rise, a flyall-you-want membership air travel company. “And we’re filling them with business travelers who would otherwise be stuck in long lines at a commercial airport.”

Some examples of the rapid growth in private flight-sharing services: uThis summer, Beacon will begin a subscription service for private planes on the East Coast.

Members will get unlimited flights to New York, Boston, Nantucket and the Hamptons for $2,000 a month. uRise, which launched in the southwestern USA eight months ago, plans to expand to the United Kingdom in early 2016. U.S. members pay between $1,650 and $2,650 per month. uClipperJet, set to launch this summer with flights between New York City and Los Angeles, seeks to democratize private air travel with a country club-like membership model — at country club prices. For $9,700 a month, each member will get four oneway legs between cities. But there’s an opportunity for a deal: If there are open seats on the Gulfstream IV planes within 24 hours of departure, members can book a seat for free. uWheels Up recently developed a ride-sharing app that lets members hitch rides and split costs on planes such as the Beechcraft King Air 350i. The service costs $5,000 a year to join and about $500 a ride. uIn its two years in operation, Surf Air has expanded to nine California destinations, with another two being added this summer. The fleet has grown to 11 planes, with a new plane debuting almost every month. Individual memberships start at $1,750 with a one-time $1,000 initiation fee.

Corporate accounts start at $3,000.

Matt Morchower, president of ClipperJet, says that despite the steep monthly fee, the company is not just targeting the wealthiest of executives.

“We’re not going for the $10 million-and-above-net-worth individuals,” he says. “We’re selling attainable luxury with the same customer service, time savings,

Rise, which launched in the southwestern U.S. eight months ago, charges members between $1,650 and $2,650 per month. private airports, perks and onthe-ground treatment as those more expensive alternatives. We want to return to the glory days of travel.”

Melanie Adams, vice president of construction at Dallas-based Knightvest Management, says the apartment management company’s senior executives are not even signed up for Rise. It’s reserved for those employees who travel the most.

The company joined Rise in May to cut down on travel time and to improve efficiency.

“You just have to fly about three times a month to easily justify the cost,” she says. “And when you factor in the value of our time, it’s even more compelling.

We save hours of non-flight travel time each round trip.”

Tooey Courtemanche, founder and CEO of Procore, which produces construction management software, says that at least 40 of its 250 employees use the company’s corporate Surf Air membership.

The company is based in Santa Barbara but has offices in San

Diego and San Francisco.

“Since time is money, Surf Air is a huge money saver,” she says. “(It) allows the team to essentially time travel between offices in a way that we could have never done before. Santa Barbara has a limited number of commercial flights, which made this impossible before. Now when an issue comes up, we can go right to the airport, get to our other offices and be home for dinner that evening and to sleep in our own bed.”

Beacon CEO Wade Eyerly, who also co-founded Surf Air, says improving the quality of life of frequent business travelers is a huge impetus for offering the service.

Members board their flights in private terminals with concierges who will respond to requests such as renting a car.

“It’s a low-stress, low-impact experience,” he said while waiting for a Beacon flight to Boston’s Logan International Airport at Westchester County Airport in New York. “We are a way for you to buy back time in life.”

U.K.-based Victor is trying to help customers buy back more time by offering a true on-de-

mand private jet charter service.

In Uber fashion, users download the free app, which is available on iOS now but will expand to Androids soon. Through the app, they can select the times, locations and airports, and types of jets they want from a fleet of more than 7,000. In real time, they get a quote and an estimated time of availability.

Alan Bender, professor of aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, says finding a viable alternative that is more affordable than a private jet and more convenient than commercial airlines “has been the absolute holy grail of commercial aviation for decades.”

But every attempt to bridge that gap has failed, he says.

“Uber-like apps may work with cars and lodging and other inexpensive and very basic services, but it will much harder for such apps to be successful in an industry where operating costs are astronomical, and where operator skills as well as operator safety and security regulations are — and must be — the most stringent in the world,” he says.

The incredible shrinking carry-on bag Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

Mark Nevelow isn’t worried about the new airline carry-on luggage standards everyone’s talking about.

That’s because he just spent $99 on a new, smaller bag, a MobilePro backpack that fits under his seat. “I heard about the proposal,” he says. “I’m not concerned. With this backpack, it won’t affect me.”

At least, not yet. The controversial new limits proposed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade group, set the maximum for luggage brought onboard at a slimmed-down 21.5 x 13.5 x 7.5 inches, significantly smaller than what’s now allowed on most planes.

Last week, after loud protests from several airlines, IATA backed down, saying it would “pause” the rollout of its voluntary “IATA Cabin OK” rule, which it claimed would give everyone an equal chance to store their carry-on bags on a large passenger jet. But don’t think for a moment that smaller luggage standards are dead.

“We can’t know for sure which luggage recommendations will become regulations,” says Michele Pittenger, president of the Travel Goods Association, which represents luggage ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

The controversial new limits set the maximum for luggage brought onboard at a slimmed-down 21.5 x 13.5 x 7.5 inches.

THREE WAYS TO CUT SPACE uGo high-tech. Genius Pack (geniuspack.com) uses what it calls “laundry compression technology,” which includes a secluded laundry pouch, integrated hanging clothes feature and even a handy packing list to get more into less room. Its 22” Carry On, which fits most overhead bins on domestic flights, is priced at $218. uGo smaller. The Pathfinder checkpoint-friendly wheeled office ($249) measures just 17.5 x 13.5 x 7 inches (IATA OK). It’s big enough for a change of clothes, toiletries and your laptop computer, but small enough to fit under your seat or in the overhead compartment of any airline that has adopted the IATA standard. uUse a cube. Eagle Creek’s Pack-It Cubes ($35; eaglecreek.com) can be used to squeeze your shirts, dresses and undergarments into a small space. Plus, they zip down to half their original size when they’re not being used and are reusable and washable.

Cool feature: a mesh top so it’s breathable and you can see inside.

manufacturers.

It’s probably only a matter of time before shrunken luggage becomes the norm. Even Pittenger admits that the current trend “is toward efficiency,” and a lot of times, that means going smaller. Bottom line: Either you need new luggage, or you’ll have to pack light.

For Arabella Bowen, the editor-in-chief of Fodor’s Travel, that means fitting everything into her Kate Spade Weekender (alas, no longer sold). But she recommends the Lipault 2Wheeled 19” Carry-On ($169; lipault-us.com), clocking in at 19 x 13 x 6 inches, which IATA would be OK with. It’s also soft-sided.

“Soft-sided bags have the advantage of fitting into overhead bins with a bit of massaging even when hard-backed roller bags can’t,” she says. “In a pinch, they can even slide under your seat.”

Samuel Nebel swears by the Aerolite luggage ($99) he discovered at a recent trade show, because it’s light, small and just an inch larger than the IATA standard, but still fits in the overhead bin of most large passenger aircraft. “It’s ridiculously functional,” says Nebel, who runs a health and beauty products company in Atlanta.

Of course, technique matters, too. It goes without saying that you’ll want to pack less, and smarter.

“Roll instead of folding and use nylon straps to cinch down bulging bags,” says Jonathan Deesing, a packing expert for imove.com. If you’re serious about squeezing more into less

space, consider a luggage cube or a compression bag.

“Using these bags, I’ve compressed a week’s worth of clothing in a tiny duffle bag with room to spare,” he says.

It isn’t just how you pack, but what you take. Stay away from heavy fabrics like denim or linen, advises Rachel Grant, a TV host and frequent traveler.

“Choose to pack clothes that are made from light fabrics, like silks, light cotton and polyester,” she adds. If you must bring a pair of favorite jeans, then wear

Technique matters, too. It goes without saying that you’ll want to pack less, and smarter. For starters, roll instead of folding. them on the plane.

Every time an airline adds a new row of seats, we move one step closer to tigher luggage standards.

It may even get to the point where sending luggage by express mail makes more sense.

There are services that already let you do that, like Luggage Forward and Luggage Free, but they’re pricey.

It’s a strange world we travel in. Pack for the occasion.

LIFELINE MAKING WAVES Taylor Swift took to Tumblr Sunday to explain why she’s holding back her album ‘1989’ from Apple Music’s new streaming service. In a post titled “To Apple, Love Taylor,” the singer wrote that she finds it “shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous (Apple)” that the company is planning to forgo royalty payments to writers, artists and producers during the three-month trial window when customers who sign up for the service can use it free.

‘Inside Out’ has Pixar feeling joy with $91.1 million Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

Jurassic World continues to chomp into all-time records.

The dinosaur blockbuster roared to No. 1 and $102 million in its second week to take its total to $398.2 million in just 10 days, according to the tracking firm Rentrak.

It is now the fastest film to ever reach that milestone in the USA, stomping past The Avengers’ 10-day total of $373.1 million in 2012. (The superhero team-up still has the biggest second weekend ever by a hair with $103.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo). Led by a $208.8 million start last weekend, Jurassic

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Jurassic World and its Indominus rex chewed up the competition again, earning another $102 million this weekend.

World is now closing in on a jawdropping $1 billion worldwide with $981.3 million to date.

“What Jurassic World has achieved is nothing short of astonishing,” says Rentrak senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian. With strong weekday play and a mere 51% drop since last weekend, “this is a worldwide phenomenon. It’s the quintessential sum-

mer movie and audiences are voting with their dollars.”

Inside Out is the first Disney/ Pixar film that didn’t open at No. 1, but the brainy animated movie is no slouch. The family film, set inside an 11-year-old girl’s mind and featuring the voices of Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith and Mindy Kaling as her emotions, overperformed with a mind-boggling

$91.1 million for second place.

It’s the best launch ever for a Pixar movie that wasn’t a sequel and the studio’s biggest opening since Toy Story 3’s $110.3 million haul the same weekend in 2010, Rentrak reports.

Overall, the box office is up 70% from the same weekend last year, when Think Like a Man Too topped the competition with $29.2 million. After a slowerthan-expected Memorial Day weekend, “this is a cause for celebration,” Dergarabedian says.

“Look what a difference a couple of weeks can make.”

Rounding out the top five, the Melissa McCarthy comedy Spy sneaked in at No. 3 with $10.5 million ($74.4 million total); disaster movie San Andreas came in at No. 4 with $8.2 million ($132.2 million); and the Sundance hit Dope landed at No. 5 with $6 million its first weekend in just more than 2,000 theaters.

Final numbers are expected Monday.

THE SONG OF SUMMER Patrick Ryan

I

WANT TO WANT ME

BAD BLOOD

uNo. 5 peak on the Hot 100 singles chart u1.2 million downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan u111 million Spotify streams u4.6 million Shazams

uNo. 1 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 u1.5 million downloads sold u627,000 Shazams

Taylor Swift feat. Kendrick Lamar

Jason Derulo

t’s open season for this year’s song-of-summer hopefuls.

The annual “contest” to see which infectious tune will define the sunny months ahead already has begun, but so far, there isn’t an odds-on favorite. While past title-holders such as Iggy Azalea (Fancy) and Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe) were clear front-runners from the get-go, “it’s not always obvious,” says Billboard charts codirector Gary Trust, noting the showdown between Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines and Daft Punk’s Get Lucky in 2013. “This just seems like a year where it’s not absolutely clear-cut,” and with so many factors that define a summertime smash, “it’s a fun little competition to see what’s No. 1. It’s a mix of what’s already out there and the surprise element.

That’s why I think we all follow it.”

Before you place your bets, consider these five candidates leading the pack:

WHY IT COULD WIN: The ’80s are alive and well on top-40 radio, with Walk the Moon imploring you to Shut Up and Dance and Jason Derulo crooning his latest, Want to Want Me. Although the R&B singer’s new album, Everything Is 4, launched with a disappointing 22,000 copies sold its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the singlesdriven hitmaker has notched his 14th Hot 100 hit in Want to Want Me. Since its release this spring, “it’s shot up the chart, and sales have been solid, and continue to grow each week,” says Marissa Morris, Clear Channel’s vice president of artist relations. “It has a strong melody and hook, and that ’80s pop sound really seems to be coming back in pop music.”

SEE YOU AGAIN

Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth uNo. 1 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 u2.9 million downloads sold u222 million Spotify streams u7.6 million Shazams WHY IT COULD WIN: The emotional Furious 7 anthem (a tribute to actor Paul Walker) has spent nine weeks at the Hot 100’s summit.

“Even though it’s a slow rap ballad and not what you’d typically associate with a fun, uptempo summer track, the numbers are proving it’s going to be way up there — if not No. 1 — for the summer,” Trust says.

CHEERLEADER (FELIX JAEHN REMIX)

WHY IT COULD WIN: There’s no artist more pervasive than Taylor Swift right now. After she unveiled her muchhyped, star-studded music video Bad Blood at the Billboard awards last month, the Kendrick Lamar remix became her third No. 1 single off megahit album 1989 (joining Shake it Off and Blank Space).

Its arrival at the start of the season bodes well for its song-of-summer chances, Trust says. “Airplay is really catching up to its early sales and streaming, so there’s a very good chance that if See You Again starts to come down, Bad Blood is waiting to go back to No.1 and have a good chunk of the summer” in the top spot.

OMI

uNo. 7 peak on the Hot 100 u641,000 downloads sold u247 million Spotify streams u236,000 Shazams WHY IT COULD WIN: Like Clean Bandit’s Rather Be, which was a hit in Europe months before crossing over stateside last summer, Cheerleader reached No. 1 on Shazam’s global chart without any U.S. airplay, says Peter Szabo, head of music for the song-identification app. It has “the reggae vibe, which really allows it to be a song-of-summer contender, but its reaction in other countries has made us really confident it’ll be a huge song in the U.S. as well.”

DERULO BY MIKE COPPOLA, GETTY IMAGES; OMI BY SCOTT SCHATEK; KHALIFA BY ETHAN MILLER, GETTY IMAGES; SWIFT BY DIMITRIOS KAMBOURIS, GETTY IMAGES; MAJOR LAZER BY SHANE MCCAULEY

LEAN ON

Major Lazer and DJ Snake feat. MØ uNo. 20 peak on the Hot 100 u384,000 downloads sold u198 million Spotify streams u7.7 million Shazams WHY IT COULD WIN: While its chart peak and sales haven’t yet matched those of other dance hits such as David Guetta’s Hey Mama, Jack Ü’s Where Are Ü Now or DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge’s You Know You Like It, the feel-good song handily laps those singles on streaming. Lean On is now the fourthmost-popular song on Shazam. “The way it was produced with a little EDM and a little bit of hip-hop seems to be resonating,” Szabo says.

Course was no beauty Call me shallow, simple, unsophisticated if you must, but I won’t apologize for preferring Norman Rockwell’s paintings to extremely abstract art.

Rockwell’s art tells stories to which we all can relate.

Wildly abstract art is not nearly as inclusive.

Similarly, I much prefer to watch golf tournaments played on courses that don’t look thirsty, don’t have multi-colored greens, don’t need dots to inform where the fairway ends and the green begins.

Traditional golf courses, lined with trees, lush grass of different heights, greens with fringes, guarded by bunkers filled with bright, white sand, play better on television.

Chambers Bay, site of the U.S. Open that Jordan Spieth won Sunday, proved a fair test of talent, given that the leaderboard was stuffed with the biggest names in golf. But beautiful? Not on TV. Relatable?

Watching it made me want to crawl into my boob tube with a hose so that I could water the greens, or at least with a can of spray paint to remind everyone why putting surfaces are called greens and not “browns” or “measles outbreaks” or “rainbows.”

Yet, even a stage on the ugly side couldn’t kill the drama of a tournament in which Spieth made doublebogey on the par 3 No. 17 and prepared for the possibilities of finishing second, moving onto a playoff, or winning as Dustin Johnson studied a 12-foot eagle putt. Johnson rolled it about four feet past, meaning Spieth at worst would have a shot at winning in an 18-hole playoff. Johnson missed again and one of the first things Spieth told his proud, congratulatory father on Father’s Day was that he felt “terrible” for Johnson. That’s precisely what any father would want to hear his son say at such a moment.

Spieth and Rory McIlroy, replacing Tiger Woods and still-strong Phil Mickelson, are the world’s two best players, but those on tour believe Johnson to be the most talented. His time will come if he doesn’t get in his own way.

With such great young talent battling in majors, golf’s in a great place. In next year’s U.S. Open, the young talent will battle on an old, traditional, green course, Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yes! By then, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, son of Dustin and maternal grandson of the great Wayne Gretzky, will be one year closer to worldclass-athlete status. And Johnson, with four near misses in majors, might already have won one.

Greg Norman, near the end of the Fox telecast, in timely fashion shared what the great Tom Watson once told him: “Once you bite that snake’s head off, that snake’s dead forever.”

Rare is the golfer who doesn’t know the feeling of having a snake wrapped around his neck.

AARON MILES, ABOVE RIGHT, KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S ALL-TIME ASSISTS LEADER, IS HIGH ON THE POTENTIAL OF CURRENT POINT GUARDS Devonté Graham, left and Frank Mason III. “I love ‘em,” said Miles, who left Kansas in 2005 with 954 assists.

Former Kansas point guard Miles assesses play of Mason, Graham

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Aaron Miles watches basketball, he can’t fight back his strong personal bias in favor of point guards.

After all, that’s the position Miles takes every time he steps foot on the court. He mastered his floor general skills at Kansas University, and remains the program’s all-time assist leader (954) 10 years after his college career ended.

Miles, a native of Portland, Oregon, hasn’t neglected his craft since. In fact, it has taken him all over the globe.

This past season, he played for Lokomotiv, in Russia.

The past couple of weeks, Miles dished knowledge instead of dimes, working as a coach at Bill Self’s basketball camps. He spent some time with Self’s current crop of Jayhawks, too. Wouldn’t you know it, he gravitated

toward two players in particular: junior Frank Mason III and sophomore Devonté Graham.

No offense to any of the other talented KU players, but the point guards are Miles’ favorites.

“I love ’em,” Miles said of the Jayhawks’ lead ball-handlers. “They work hard and I think, as point guards, we automatically are leaders. By being a leader, you have to lead by example, and I think they do a great job of that.

And they’re becoming more vocal, which is obviously what we also need.”

Graham suffered a bit of a setback this past week, when he partially tore a tendon in one of his quads. Self said the sophomore likely will miss regular basketball activities throughout the summer, as he recovers. Most notably, KU won’t have Graham in uniform for the World University Games, in South Ko-

rea, where Mason, SMU’s Nic Moore and late addition Julian DeBose of Florida Gulf Coast will share time at the 1-spot.

Miles watched KU’s two point guards from afar this past season, and thinks Mason and Graham will bring even more to the program going forward. Mason averaged 12.3 points, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals as a sophomore, and made 40.7 percent of his three-pointers. Playing his first season of college hoops, Graham scored 5.9 points, passed 2.1 assists and hit 42.5 percent of his threes, in 28 games.

While both play point guard, Miles likes that they aren’t clones of each other.

“Obviously, I think Frank is just a natural scorer and Devonté has a little bit more of a traditional point guard type of play. … That’s not saying Devonté can’t score, but his natural instinct is to

drop a pass or run the show,” Miles clarified. “Frank is just in total attack mode. I think they complement each other real well.”

Occasionally in 2014-15, Self put his two point guards on the floor together. Miles, of course, loves that idea, and hopes to see the two side by side even more next season.

“I’m big on playing point guards at the same time,” Miles said. “My freshman year, we had three point guards out there: me, Kirk Hinrich and Jeff Boschee at the same time. It just makes you faster.”

In the season Miles mentioned, 2001-02, KU averaged 90.9 points per game with three quick guards running the floor simultaneously under former coach Roy Williams, and the Jayhawks reached the Final Four.

Spieth wins Open, is halfway to Slam University Place, Wash. (ap) — One man’s agony became the other man’s joy.

For Dustin Johnson, it was the most painful of losses.

For 21-year-old Jordan Spieth, who moments before had been faced with the possibility of an excruciatingly painful loss, it was an unlikely and historic victory in Sunday’s final round of the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay. Spieth, who birdied the 18th hole, had to watch as Johnson attempted a 12-foot, 4-inch eagle putt that would have given him the win.

But Johnson missed that putt, hitting it 4 feet past the hole. An 18-hole playoff Monday seemed certain, but Johnson missed again from

short range, giving Spieth a one-shot victory over Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen.

Spieth, the winner of the Masters at Augusta National in April, becomes the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win the first two majors of the year and the youngest U.S. Open winner since Bobby Jones in 1923.

“I’m still amazed that I won, let alone that we weren’t playing tomorrow,” Spieth said. “So for that turnaround right there, to watch that happen, I feel for Dustin, but I haven’t been able to put anything in perspective yet.”

Said Johnson: “I’m disappointed, but also I’m disappointed that I three-putted the last hole.

Other than that I had a damn good week. I’m happy with the way I played. I’m happy with everything in my game right now.

“I had a chance to win again a major on a Sunday.

I thought I handled myself very well. I hit the shots when I needed to. So I know what it takes to get it done, it’s real simple. I need to get in the hole faster.”

It took 120 years for the U.S. Open to come here, and they might still be talking about this Open 120 years from now as one of the most dramatic in history.

Keeping up with the amazing changes in momenPhoto credit tum was dizzying.

winner after the front nine when he led by two shots, then it was Spieth who seemingly had it all wrapped up after taking a three-shot lead after the 16th hole. He entered that hole tied with playing partner Branden Grace, but Grace made a double bogey after hitting his tee shot out of bounds and Spieth made a 27-foot birdie putt.

That presumably ended the suspense, but Spieth made a double bogey on the par-3 17th hole after hitting a poor tee shot, then needing three putts.

Johnson, playing a group behind Spieth, hit a brilliant shot on the 17th hole that stopped 6 feet from the hole, and he buried the putt.

In a flash, Spieth’s three-shot lead was gone and he was in a three-way tie with Johnson and Oosthuizen, who had already finished.

Spieth took Oosthuizen out of the equation when he hit a brilliant approach on the par-5 18th, leaving him a 16-foot eagle putt. He missed by inches, then tapped in for a birdie and a one-shot lead that was very precarious, with the long-hitting Johnson still with a chance on the 18th.

Johnson hit a great drive, and his approach shot was even better.

For Spieth, a playoff seemed to be the best possible result.

Until it wasn’t.

For Johnson, it was another excruciating near-miss in a major. He lost the 2010 U.S. Open after leading entering the final round and lost in the 2010 PGA Championship after leading with one hole left.

For Spieth, anything now seems possible. To be so young, so good, and on Sunday, the recipient of some great fortune.

Jason Day ran out of gas University Place, Wash. (ap) — Jason Day was simply zapped.

All the energy and effort needed to get through his third round caught up with the Australian on the final day of the U.S. Open on Sunday.

On another warm, grinding afternoon, Day couldn’t muster up the energy needed for the final round. Still feeling the effects of vertigo, Day closed with a 4-over 74. After shooting a remarkable 68 in the third round, Day was still on the verge of contention when he made it through the front nine at 1 over.

But he bogeyed two of the first four holes on the back nine and couldn’t make birdie putts at the 11th and the drivable par4 12th.

Day said he started feeling better after the 12th hole on Sunday after feeling worse as the day went on in the third round.

Final hole was key University Place, Wash. (ap) — A look at the key hole of the final round of the U.S. Open on Sunday: HOLE: 18 YARDAGE: 601 PAR: 5 STROKE AVERAGE: 4.72 RANK: 16th KEY FACT: First Louis Oosthuizen made birdie on the finishing hole to tie for the lead. Then Jordan Spieth made one of his own to take a one-shot lead.

Finally, Dustin Johnson had a 12-footer for eagle to win the Open. He missed, then missed the 3-footer that would have forced a playoff.

AUSTRALIA’S EMILY VAN EGMOND, LEFT, AND SAMANTHA KERR BATTLE BRAZIL’S MARTA, CENTER, during the Aussies’ surprise 1-0 win in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, on Sunday.

Australia knocks Brazil from World Cup Moncton, New Brunswick — Substitute Kyah Simon scored in the 80th minute to lift Australia to its first Women’s World Cup knockout win, a 1-0 upset of Brazil and star Marta on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

After Katrina Gorry won a ball at midfield, Lisa de Vanna’s shot from the top of the penalty area was turned aside by Brazilian keeper Luciana. But the rebound went straight to Simon, who had entered in the 64th minute.

She buried the shot for the first goal allowed by Brazil all tournament.

“I was just thinking about the slippery conditions,” Simon said. “It’s wet, and I needed to follow up and thankfully I was in the right place at the right time.”

Aussie goalkeeper Lydia Williams stopped Christiane’s header off a long free kick in the 90th minute to clinch 10th-ranked Australia’s first win in three tries against Brazil in World Cup play. Williams finished with six saves.

Australia moves on to Edmonton face the winner of Tuesday’s match between Japan and Netherlands in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

It was 23-year-old Simon’s third goal of the tournament. She scored both goals in a 2-0 group-stage victory over Nigeria.

“It was just one moment of magic,” Australia coach Alen Stajcic said.

Australia survived Group D, the so-called Group of Death, finishing second behind the second-ranked United States after a 1-all draw with No. 5 Sweden in the group finale.

“It’s a big moment there, showing we can compete with the world’s best, and we did it here again today,” Stajcic said.

GOLF

Players torch USGA, course University Place, Wash. — The players in the U.S. Open did not go quietly into the sunset on Puget Sound. Some torched Chambers Bay and its dying greens, and none more so than Billy Horschel.

The reigning FedEx Cup champion stepped to the podium after his final round of 3-under 67 and said he had been waiting all week to blow up about what he perceived as an unfair setup, particularly on the greens. He joked that he would talk for an hour if reporters wanted him to.

“A lot of players, and I’m one of them, have lost some respect for the USGA and this championship this year for the greens,” Horschel said. “(USGA executive director) Mike Davis can push back as much as he wants, but when you have a majority of the players commenting publicly — and some of them aren’t because they don’t want to get the pushback from it — then there’s an issue.

“I don’t know if he’s just trying to sugarcoat it so it doesn’t look bad. I heard someone say that the TV is making the greens look worse than they are. That’s a complete lie.”

Horschel said a Fox anchor asked a caddie earlier in the week if there was grass on the greens. The reply, he said: “Yeah, two blades, and they’re nowhere close to each other.”

“They’re basically not living anymore,” Ernie Els said Sunday of the greens.

The criticism at Chambers Bay has gone beyond the greens. Horschel said fans were “robbed” of a good viewing experience because of the inaccessibility to holes. Phil Mickelson said earlier in the week that his wife, Amy, gave up trying to follow him.

“To say they built this golf course for the U.S. Open is awful,” he said. “That blows my mind that they would build a golf course and not think about the fans and the viewing aspect of it because that’s the greatest thing we have.”

of Missouri have been injured after their car flipped in Columbia.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Harold Brantley, a defensive lineman, was seriously injured in the Sunday afternoon crash on U.S. 63. The patrol report says Madeleine Stock, a women’s basketball player, sustained minor injuries.

University of Missouri Hospital spokeswoman Anne Kettenbrink said Brantley was in serious condition Sunday evening and Stock was treated and released.

The report says Brantley overcorrected after driving off the left side of the highway. The car then slid off the right side of the road, struck a guardrail and overturned. The patrol says Brantley and Stock weren’t wearing seatbelts.

School spokesman Chad Moller didn’t immediately return messages from The Associated Press.

Brees donates $1 million West Lafayette, Ind. — New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has committed to donating $1 million to his alma mater Purdue to help build its football program.

The Journal & Courier reports the pledge by Brees, along with his wife, Brittany, was announced after athletic director Morgan Burke organized a three-day summit in San Diego that included university President Mitch Daniels.

Burke and coach Darrell Hazell have designed a master plan to create a championship-caliber program, emphasizing five areas: roster development, recruiting, fan engagement, university support and facilities.

Brees said in a statement he wants to show how much he believes in the university and the football program.

Brees and his wife made a $2 million gift to boost the academic side of the intercollegiate athletics program in 2007.

NASCAR

Teenager wins Xfinity race Joliet, Ill. — Erik Jones could be driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in a Sprint Cup car at some point in the future.

For now, Jones, 19, is content driving for Gibbs in NASCAR’s Xfinity series and for Kyle Busch, one of Gibbs’ stars, in the truck series.

That feeling might be expected from someone who capped the weekend with an Xfinity victory in the AttiCat 300 at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday.

Jones had won Friday’s truck race in Newton, Iowa.

According to NASCAR, Jones is the youngest driver to win two NASCAR national series races in the same weekend.

Jones is third in the truck series standings, which makes him ineligible for Xfinity points. But with two wins and six other top-nine finishes in the Xfinity circuit this season, he’d rank high.

MLS

Salt Lake downs Sporting, 2-1

Sandy, Utah — Olmes Garcia’s shot in the 93rd minute was redirected by Sporting Kansas City defender Kevin Ellis, giving Real Salt Lake a stunning 2-1 victory on Sunday night.

Real Salt Lake (5-5-6) entered the game with just two wins in the last 11 matches and Sporting KC (6-3-6) had their seven-game streak without a loss snapped.

Sebastian Jaime gave Real Salt Lake the early lead in the 15th minute with a header that glanced in off the bottom of the crossbar. It was the designated player’s first MLS goal in nine career starts and finished Javier Morales’ COLLEGE FOOTBALL corner kick.

Mizzou DE seriously injured Dom Dwyer tied it in the 30th minute, Columbia, Mo. — A football player and a running behind Benny Feilhaber’s pass for a women’s basketball player from the University right-footed finish from the middle of the box.

Dooley briefs DeBose on what to expect

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Florida Gulf Coast senior guard Julian DeBose was briefed by his coach, Joe Dooley, on Saturday on what to expect in playing for Kansas University’s Bill Self the next several weeks.

“He said, ‘You think I’m a problem, wait ‘til you meet Bill Self,’’’ DeBose said with a laugh on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse before working out with his World University Games teammates for the first time.

“He (Dooley) basically said, ‘Same rules here as there. Play hard and there’s not too much else he can ask for from me.

As long as you play hard, you’re fine,’’’ DeBose added.

Self, who needed a guard to replace the injured Devonté Graham, offered a spot on the 12-player World University Games team to the 6-foot-4 DeBose on the recommendation of third-year Florida Gulf Coast coach Dooley.

Dooley assisted Self at KU for 10 seasons before taking the job at the Atlantic Sun Conference School.

“I’m a versatile player.

I can do pretty much everything on the court.

I’m a pretty good leader,” said DeBose, who averaged 11.6 points (off 43.2 percent shooting) and 3.9 rebounds a game last season for the 22-11 Eagles. “(I’m a) very positive person, always in my teammates’ ears, letting ‘em know, ‘You can do it no matter what.’ I also like to lead by example.”

It’s definitely been a whirlwind couple of days for DeBose.

“Well I received the call about 12 a.m., on Friday morning from my coach saying, ‘Do you still want to go down to Kansas and compete with them in the University World Games for sure?’ I said, ‘Of course I want to.’

That’s how the conversation ended,” DeBose said Sunday.

“The next day (later Friday) he (Dooley) texted me and said, ‘Looks like it’s a go.’ From that point on he said, ‘Pack your bags.’ From that point on coach Q (Fred Quartlebaum, KU director of student/athlete development) called me, set up a few things, set up a flight. I was out the next day (Saturday) at 10 a.m.”

DeBose has been quite impressed with what he’s seen here so far.

“It’s an amazing experience of course. I’ve never been to Kansas. I’ve never seen a locker room like this or seen any facilities like this,” DeBose said.

“I’m just glad and blessed and completely thankful to coach Dooley and coach Self to allow me to be on the team.”

Of his new teammates, he said: “I just met them within the last 20 minutes (noon Sunday). I don’t really know much about

FLORIDA GULF COAST GUARD JULIAN DEBOSE (3) DEFENDS XAVIER’S TREVON BLUIETT (5) during a game on Dec. 28, 2014, in Cincinnati. DeBose has been added to the roster of the U.S. team that will compete in the World University Games next month in Gwangju, South Korea.

“

I received the call about 12 a.m., on Friday morning from my coach saying, ‘Do you still want to go down to Kansas and compete with them in the University World Games for sure?’ I said, ‘Of course I want to.’

That’s how the conversation ended.”

— Florida Gulf Coast guard Julian DeBose on how ended up in Lawrence as a member of Team USA in the World University Games them. They seem pretty cool, accepting me in, greeting me like (this is) nothing out of the ordinary.

“I expect to come in, work hard and win a medal. That’s my expectations, win a gold medal.”

The Jayhawks, who will scrimmage with players from Team Canada today in Lawrence, will play exhibition games against Canada at 7 p.m., Tuesday and Friday, in KC’s Sprint Center. Cost of tickets is $27 for the Tuesday game and $37 for the Friday matchup or both games for $50. Fans can purchase tickets online at SprintCenter.com or by calling the KU ticket office at 800-34-HAWKS. KU officials have said the Sprint Center games will not be televised. l Pierce not retiring yet: Former KU forward Paul Pierce will pass on his player option with the Washington Wizards that is valued at $5.54 million, ESPN.com reports. The Washington Post says Pierce will either re-sign a new deal with the Wiz-

ards or join the Los Angeles Clippers to be reunited with his former coach, Doc Rivers. Ten-time allstar Pierce, 37, has played 17 seasons in the NBA. If it is money above everything else, Pierce won’t be going to his hometown Clippers. L.A. can offer him a $3.37 million mini mid-level exemption, ESPN says. Washington could actually give Pierce a raise and go to about $6 million. l Green room invitee: ESPN’s Andy Katz says KU’s Kelly Oubre, Jr., has been invited to attend the NBA Draft along with 19 other top prospects.

The draft is Thursday in Brooklyn, New York.

ESPN’s Chad Ford says Oubre will be tapped No. 16 overall by Boston.

Draftexpress.com and NBAdraft.net say the guard will be taken No. 15 (by Atlanta) and No. 25 (Memphis) respectively. KU’s Cliff Alexander will not be invited to the draft. ESPN’s Ford has him going 14th in the second round to Phoenix.

Draftexpress.com and NBAdraft.net have the forward taken in the second round: No. 10 (by Miami) and No. 5 (by Philadelphia) respectively. l Murray reclassifies: Canadian high school point guard sensation Jamal Murray is reclassifying to 2015 and will choose either Kentucky or Oregon on Tuesday, Zagsblog reports. Murray, 6-5 from Orangeville Prep in Ontario, scored 30 points in the Nike Hoop Summit. He’s currently listed as No. 21 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Kentucky plays KU in Allen Fieldhouse this upcoming season.

Raiders end tourney with loss J-W Staff Reports

The Lawrence Raiders lost to Gameday Colorado (Illinois), 4-2, Sunday to round out the Kansas University youth baseball tournament at Hoglund Ballpark.

Ivan Hollins led the Raiders offensively by reaching base three times with a triple, a hit by pitch and a base on balls.

Mikey Corbett and Nolan Prochaska had an RBI apiece to account for the Raider runs.

Sunday’s setback came after a 12-11 nine-inning win on Friday over Natural Baseball.

Kendall Fritzel hit a game-tying double in the seventh, and Nate Hulse hit a game-winning twobagger to cap off the Raiders’ five-run ninth, answering Natural Baseball’s four-run rally in the top of the ninth.

The Raiders (6-7-1) will play next against Next Level Baseball at 6 p.m.

Tuesday at Lawrence High.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — With the Kansas City Royals trailing by a dozen runs entering the ninth inning, manager Ned Yost had a brief conversation with bench coach Don Wakamatsu.

“I told Wak it could be worse,” Yost said. “He looked at me, like how?

I told him, we could be getting beat 12-to-nothing and it could be 100 degrees outside.”

After a 102 heat index for the Saturday game, rain cooled off the temperatures to 76 for the start of the Sunday game.

But the Royals could not cool off the hot Boston Red Sox bats, who had 13 extra-base hits, in a 13-2 victory.

David Ortiz passed two Hall of Famers with his 476th home run, while Hanley Ramirez hit his team-best 15th homer and Mookie Betts also went deep for the Red Sox, who set a season high for runs. Xander Bogaerts had three doubles, and Wade Miley (7-6) pitched six scoreless innings.

Bogaerts stroked a three-run double in a five-run fifth when the Red Sox batted around and chased Chris Young (6-3).

“I need to be better than I was,” Young said.

“I didn’t give the team a chance and it’s disappointing. Over the course of the season, you’re going have a few of them, but it’s not enjoyable by any means. You expect to be at your best every time out, but that’s not the case.

“I tried to keep the team close, but in the fifth I couldn’t do it and that’s the ball game right there.”

Ortiz homered leading off the fourth to move past Stan Musial and Willie Stargell into 28th place on the career home run list.

“I got to meet ‘The Man’ (Musial) one time a long time ago” Ortiz said.

“I didn’t get to see him playing, but he was very impressive in his career.

version of that, with Mason and Graham pushing the tempo, would mean trouble for the Jayhawks’ opposition.

“Nothing against anybody else on the team, but as a point guard, me personally, I feel like we’re typically the smartest players on the court,” Miles said. “When you mix that in with the skill set these guys have, now we’re playing at a faster pace and hopefully there will be higher IQ on the court at the same time — it should be.”

tioning your name next to those all-time Hall of Famers, that’s something that means you’re doing something right. It’s an honor.”

Betts, Brock Holt and Dustin Pedroia, the first three batters in the lineup, each had three of Boston’s 16 hits. They combined to go 9 for 15 with seven runs and six RBIs. Betts, who missed the cycle by a single, is batting (.556) with nine extra-base hits in a ninegame hitting streak. Boston’s first nine hits were all for extra-bases. The Red Sox had a seasonhigh eight doubles. Miley, who pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the first, was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst.

He limited the Royals to five singles, walked three and struck out two.

“We did have some chances early,” Yost said.

“We hit some balls hard, right on the nose and right to their outfielders.

We just couldn’t capitalize.”

Young, who had tossed 13 1-3 scoreless innings in winning his previous two starts, yielded seven runs on three homers, four doubles and three walks in 4 2-3 innings.

“I didn’t make enough good pitches,” Young said. “That’s what happens when you face a good team and you’re not at your best.”

Lorenzo Cain’s tworun triple with two outs in the ninth prevented the Royals from being shut out.

reer, but said retirement is coming sooner, rather than later. That’s one reason he wanted to work at Self’s camp this summer.

“I’ve got more days behind me than in front of me,” Miles said. “So I’m just trying to position myself, set myself up.”

The point guard said he learned much from Self and other coaches, and left with a better feel for how to approach everything from that side of the game.

“I don’t know exactly what I want to do,” he said, “but obviously I think (coaching) would be a great option.”

If that day comes, Miles might have a hard time not playing favorites.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Tigers trounce Yanks The Associated Press

American League Tigers 12, Yankees 4 New York — J.D. Martinez hit three homers and had six RBIs, and Detroit busted out for a victory Sunday over the New York Yankees to snap a four-game skid.

Victor Martinez homered and drove in four two-out runs off Masahiro Tanaka for Detroit, which was one shy of a season high for runs after being outscored 21-5 by New York in the first two games of the series. Andrew Romine hit Jose De Paula’s first major league pitch for a solo shot in the sixth, his first long ball this season.

Friend’s 1-year anniversary party baffles guest Dear Annie: Is it unorthodox to have a oneyear anniversary party?

A friend of mine was married last summer.

By November, she had created a save-the-date on Facebook for a oneyear anniversary party.

“Leona” invited everyone who had been on the wedding list, whether they attended or not.

To me, the whole affair is a bit unseemly.

I understand wanting to have a party, but the context of it being an anniversary party to commemorate a couple that has yet to get out of the honeymoon phase seems self-centered.

There is little excitement about the event, and after a few conversations with friends, I get the sense that other people feel the same way.

I’m not sure how to

respond, and am a bit worried about how Leona will feel if few people show up to her gala. — Confused in California Dear Confused: Having an anniversary party, no matter which anniversary, is perfectly fine as long as guests are not expected to pay for it and bring expensive presents. Leona’s mistake was giving the impression that it is a second wedding celebration, but we don’t be-

‘Requiem’ focuses on horrors of murder culture What’s more destructive: A sudden flood? A freak storm? Or the drip, drip, drip of an untended leak?

Our national conversation about gun violence tends to take place after horrific acts of mass murder. Columbine. Newtown.

The South Carolina church massacre that happened only last week.

These tragedies result in spasms of media outrage, followed by long periods of indifference. Until the next nightmare unfolds.

Directed by Emmy winners Shari Cookson and Nick Doob, “Requiem for the Dead: American Spring 2014” (8 p.m., HBO) looks at gun violence from another perspective. Using local news footage, police 911 call audio, personal photographs and intimate postings from social media, “Requiem” examines and celebrates the lives of a handful of the some 8,000 victims who were murdered or killed themselves in just a three-month period -- the spring of 2014.

We see clips from the wedding video of a veteran and his bride, and then birthday parties for their three children. Then we hear audio from the wife’s anguished mother reporting that her son-in-law had started shooting, followed by the sound of police entering the home to witness the husband turning the gun on himself -- all within earshot of the three children.

Other stories, similarly chilling, involve a newlywed slain when she was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout; a grandmother killed when her husband mishandled the gun her grandson was so proud to display; an 11-year-old boy shot by his best friend, who was playing with his dad’s pistol; an entire family slaughtered by a depressed man who couldn’t face the prospect of divorce.

It goes without saying that “Requiem” is almost too grim to watch. But it takes even more effort to ignore its powerful and insistent message about the cost of our national indifference.

There were 8,000 deaths in three months; every season, every year. As they say: You do the math. Then wonder what the number might be if we took the gun(s) out of the equation.

Tonight’s other highlights O Two hours of auditions on “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox).

O A “Kate Plus 8” (7 p.m., TLC) special continues one woman’s (and a network’s) shameless exploitation of her children.

O Lost in a cave on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

lieve that was her intent.

While we agree that the guest list is larger than propriety endorses, please look at this as a party for friends, and base your reaction solely on that. It will help.

Dear Annie: Last year, our 21-year-old son took a break from college and lived at home. I am amazed by the number of people who thought this was unacceptable and said they would never allow a child to take a year off of college.

Here’s my perspective: High school graduation is like taking your 18-year-old to a large transportation hub where they have to pick a train that will take them to their next destination. Say that your young adult picks an express train. About halfway through the journey, he realizes he is on the wrong train, but

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, June 22: This year can be described as the opposite of boring; in fact, sometimes you might wish for a little dullness. You and others often might be miles apart in your thinking, but because of your mutual respect, solutions are able to be found. If you are single, from mid-August on, you could make new acquaintances. If you are attached, communication flourishes between you and your sweetie.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ A misunderstanding could flare up from out of the blue.

A talk later on will clear the air.

Tonight: Relax.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ You could gain an important insight into a child or loved one.Tonight: Who cares about tomorrow? Live in the present.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ A matter involving your domestic life will steal the scene.

A friend will act in an unanticipated way. Tonight: Head home and screen your calls.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You are likely to ask a lot of questions and question much of what you hear. Tonight: Hang out with a close friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++ A disagreement could surprise you. The unexpected will turn this situation around before

there are no stops. He imagines that his choices are to stay on the train or jump off while it’s going full speed.

We encouraged our son to jump off, and now we have a happy, healthy young adult headed on the right train. We are happy that we provided him with a safety net. Now he has a bright future.

— Mom Dear Mom: We support the idea of a gap year before students start college where they may be living away from home for the first time. Kids can use the year to work, travel or volunteer, but it allows them to mature and be more responsible for themselves.

you know it. Tonight: Curb a possessive streak.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ You unintentionally might ruffle a higher-up’s feathers. You both have the same issue.

Tonight: As you like it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Consider other alternatives. You might be taken aback by a situation that suddenly comes up. Tonight: A must appearance.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Zero in on what you want. Your sense of humor will emerge when interacting with a child or loved one. Tonight: Surround yourself with people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ You could feel tense about a public appearance and/ or a discussion with a supervisor.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ If you detach, you will find this day far more enjoyable than you might have imagined.

Tonight: Try something new.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You might see a personal matter differently from the way you have in the past. Tonight: Reflect on what has happened.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ You could find yourself struggling to understand where someone is coming from. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news.
