KU’s Corbin Hall won’t go co-ed after renovation Heard on the Hill

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

A

s Kansas University constructs new residence halls and renovates older ones, the buildings are all moving in the same direction: going co-ed, with increasingly more privacy and suite-style living. But there’s going to be one holdout.

Corbin Hall is KU’s sole remaining all-women’s residence hall, and even after an extensive

$13.5 million renovation planned during the 2017-18 school year it will stay that way. The hall’s variety of room and sink configurations also will stay (South Corbin was built “prior to room standardization,” the KU Student Housing website notes). The building, capacity 149, has one-, twoand three-person rooms,

The board also examines use of force reports filed when officers deploy their TASERs. Board members are appointed by the mayor.

Baldwin Woods preserve grows with Legacy Forest designation

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

As Bill Busby spoke Thursday morning at a small parking lot off County Road 1055, a mile north of Baldwin City, the brake lights of passing vehicles invariably blinked as their drivers slowed for a curve at the bottom of a steep slope.

The ridge at the top of what is known as Baldwin Hill marks the

The group meets once every other month. Representatives from the Lawrence Police Department attend each meeting, presenting the board with any incoming racial profiling complaints or TASER reports to look over.

When the board last met on June 13, only three of its seven members were present, not enough to constitute a quorum or take any action. Police officers did have a racial profiling investigation for them to review, but because less than half the group was present, Board Chair Baha Safadi said they must wait until their next meeting to see the case.

Only one member of the public attended the meeting, which was held at Lawrence City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. Safadi, who has been on the board for more than a year, said he feels the board could be doing more, but before that happens there’s some work to be done.

Very few people know about the board, Safadi said. And the precise responsibilities and scope of the group are unclear to its members, he said.

Safadi said he has reached out to city officials and asked them to give the board some guidance and perhaps some more responsibility. Preliminary conversations with the officials seem positive, he said, though he has not formally met with any of them on the matter yet.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said he would support the group taking a bigger role.

“When, on occasion, we’ve heard the call for the formation of a ‘police advisory board,’ or ‘citizen’s review board,’ the current board wants to remind the community that they are already here doing some of those things,” he said in an email.

“So instead of starting from scratch, it may be worth a look to see what we can add to the current board’s plate to get at some of those other things,” he added. lll

Woods He does know the thick woodlands that cover the slope owe their existence to the steep incline that prompts motorists descending the county road to tap their brakes.

The heavy timber to the east and west of County Road 1055 is a surviving island of a forest that sprang up at the edge of a glacier that covered northeastern Kansas during the last ice age, Busby said. As the glaciers retreated 12,000 years ago, tallgrass prairie came to dominate the landscape with the aid of wildfires that destroyed the woodlands, except at sites like Baldwin Hill.

“On steep north-facing slopes, fire didn’t spread as easily,” Busby said. “The forest contracted to islands on northern slopes.”

The woodland, known as Baldwin Woods, is not only unique in its survival but as an island of a forest biome that stretches east to the Atlantic Ocean.

Aside from the addition of new responsibilities, board member Jolene Andersen said perhaps some existing duties could be examined.

In Andersen’s time on the board — just more than a year — members have reviewed roughly five police investigations into racial profiling, none of which have been substantiated, she said.

However, the procedure followed with submitted complaints may not be the most effective, Andersen said.

Once a complaint is made, it is investigated by the department’s internal Office of Professional Accountability, McKinley said. Supervisors review video and audio recordings, conduct interviews, review reports and more. The investigation’s findings are then passed on to the board for further review, he said.

“The police do their own review,” Andersen said. “And even though they bring it to us, it’s already complete.”

“I guess we would have the option to reopen it, but we don’t have enough information; we’re not there at the beginning,” she added.

One more viable option might be to turn any racial profiling investigations over to a “presumably more neutral agency,” Andersen said.

Currently, racial profiling complaints can be submitted to the police department at police. lawrenceks.org/content/ compliments-and-complaints-lkpd or the Kansas Attorney General’s Office at ag.ks.gov/public-safety/racial-and-bias-basedpolicing.

But in the future, perhaps complaints could be submitted directly to the board, Safadi said.

Lawrence City Manager Tom Markus said in an email he has not yet spoken with Safadi, but he thinks there could be advantages to offering a complaint submission process separate from the police department.

she does occasionally hear stories from Lawrence residents that need to be taken into account.

“I was talking to a parent the other day who said they warned their son not to drive a certain kind of car because he will be stopped,” she said. “Whether it’s real or a perception, those kinds of issues need to be addressed.”

Safadi said in the decades he’s lived in Lawrence he’s had nothing but positive and respectful encounters with the Lawrence Police Department and he wants to take an active role in ensuring every other resident has the same experience with law enforcement.

“We want to help make sure the citizens of Lawrence trust the police department,” he said. “If they don’t, we need to know why, and if we have some issue with the department, we need to get to the bottom of it and we need to get it solved.”

The board cannot take action solely on rumors of improper policing, Safadi said. It needs concrete evidence. The first step in that process is to remind Lawrence residents that the board is a resource available to them, he said.

At the board’s last meeting, Safadi introduced the topic of creating a website for the board, independent from the city’s or the police department’s sites.

Although no action was taken, the idea was received positively by members.

With the website, “we’ll be more known to the citizens of Lawrence,” Safadi said. “We’ll have our staff, our ideas, our minutes, our agendas, location of the meetings and what we are to do in the coming future.”

The board’s current roster can be viewed at lawrenceks.org, and the group’s schedule, agendas and minutes can be found at police.lawrenceks.org.

“This is the far western-most edge of the Eastern deciduous forest,” Busby said. “A lot of the trees you see here can be seen in Virginia. This is as far as it goes.”

The site’s 456 acres, which make up the Baldwin Woods Forest Preserve and a field station of the Kansas Biological Survey, are host to a wide variety of plant and animal life.

According to a Kansas Biological Survey brochure, the greater Baldwin Woods, which was named a National Natural Landmark in 1980 by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, is home to nearly 80 species

of woody plants, half of which are trees, and another 500 species of flowering plants and ferns.

As a zoologist, Busby is involved in a survey of the wood’s rare animal species. The woods are the westernmost range of a number of species, including the red-bellied snake, flying squirrel and grey squirrel, he said.

The research preserve has grown in the greater Baldwin Woods, which also includes the southern portion of Douglas State Fishing Lake to the east. In the late 1960s, KU acquired an 80-acre tract from the Rice family, Busby said. It

L awrence J ournal -W orld

expanded to the west with later acquisitions of 80 acres from the Breidenthal family and 40 acres from the Wall family.

This past year, the woods more than doubled in size from 202 acres to 456 acres with the addition of property bordering on the west. The lands were acquired from Ray Wilber, Cathy Dwigans and John and Gloria Hood after the woodlands were designated the state’s first Legacy Forest Program project.

Larry Biles, state forester with the Kansas Forest Service in Manhattan, said to earn that designation Baldwin Woods was

considered with other woodlands in the state that the forest service submitted for an outside advisory group’s recommendation.

“The group suggested Baldwin Woods as the highest priority area in the state,” he said.

The Legacy Forest designation qualified the site for a like-named USDA grant of $500,000 that the Kansas Forest Service administrated, Biles said.

That plus grants from the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council and a gas pipeline mitigation fund made possible the purchase of the additional 254 acres, he said.

Although Baldwin Woods is to remain a research site, there is interest in allowing some public access, Biles and Busby said. Visitors currently have to get permission to enter the field station.

“Larry Biles has a vision of hiking trails,” he said. “We’re trying to find a place that won’t conflict with continuing research.”

BRIEFLY Home destroyed in fire near Lecompton A Sunday morning fire destroyed a rural home southeast of Lecompton.

Lecompton Township Rural Fire Department Chief Will Shockley said his department was called to a fire at 6:44 a.m. Sunday at 792 North 1851 Diagonal Road. Shockley said units from the department arrived at 6:52 a.m. to find the two-story wood frame house engulfed in flames.

The structure was completely destroyed by the fire, the chief said.

A male resident of the house was home at the time the fire started, Shockley said. He was able to escape from the house and left the property before firefighters arrived, Shockley said. Shockley did not know the name or the condition of the resident.

According to Douglas County property records, the property is owned by Norman Daniels.

Tankers from all Douglas County fire departments were called in to help fight the fire, Shockley said. The report from Douglas County Emergency Dispatch was that the fire started in the kitchen of the home, Shockley said.

No firefighters were injured while fighting the fire, Shockley said. The investigation into the fire continues. Shockley said he did not know the value of the loss.

District: Students’ cafeteria proposal would be too costly

PINOCHLE PLAYERS AT THE BALDWIN CITY RECREATION COMMISSION’S DOWNTOWN OFFICE share one of their frequent laughs on a recent Monday. Clockwise from back left, the players are Duane McIntire, Karen Goyette, Ralph Rippetoe and Loretta Robson.

Baldwin pinochle games more about camaraderie than cards

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

On a recent Monday, Loretta Robson played a winning card with gleeful satisfaction early in a marathon pinochle game in the downtown office of the Baldwin City Recreation Commission.

“I had just one heart,” she said as she swept up the cards from the middle of the table. “I didn’t think it would get back to me.”

About noon, a number of hot hands had put her and partner Karen Goyette out in front of their opponents, but Robson wasn’t about to

disrespect foes Duane McIntire and Ralph Rippetoe.

“These guys are good,” Robson said.

“They take chances.”

The banter and competition around the pinochle table beat playing solitaire at home, McIntire said. It was also too hot that day to get out in the garden, an activity that competes with cards for the retired high school science teacher’s daylight leisure time.

There are days he and his partner, Rippetoe, play cards until 5 p.m., switching to cribbage when most of the players leave, McIntire said.

On this day, he was trying to convince Rippetoe, a retired engineer who lives 5 miles east of Baldwin City, to join him in pool games at a local establishment after the day’s pinochle wrapped up about 3 p.m.

“I’ve got to get him to go,” he said. “He’s a good pool player, too.”

Goyette said it was that kind of camaraderie more than the cards that brought her to the table.

“It’s just good company,” she said. “We have a lot of fun. They have lots of patience. I could be home watching TV, but this is more fun. Debbie takes good care of us.”

Debbie would be Debra McCullough, administrative assistant and programming director for seniors at the Baldwin City Recreation Commission. She makes sure there’s coffee and cookies for the card players daily and also schedules other events to get the community’s seniors out and about while enjoying one another’s company.

When students in the Lawrence school district line up for lunch, much of their food waits for them in single-use serving dishes. For each meal, new dishes are filled and thrown away. That process is not likely to change any- Kimball time soon.

After two Lawrence middle school students calculated the amount of trash created by those containers and proposed a

change, district leaders say adopting a new method would be difficult at a time when the district’s budget isn’t growing.

“As an institution, there’s room for us to improve in that area,” said school board member Shannon Kimball. “And so looking at trying to be a little more creative about how could we do that, but the real trick is what budget impacts does it have?”

Number of homes on market hits new low; sales figures tumble

I

’ve always assumed the Kansas Jayhawk has a really nice bird house somewhere in west Lawrence. Good thing because I think even the Jayhawk may have a hard time buying a home in the Lawrence market today.

The Lawrence housing market is as tight as it has been in recent memory, and the low inventories are starting to result in reduced home sales.

Homes sales in May fell 16 percent compared with the same period a year ago, according to the latest report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors. Real estate agents insist the slowdown is not due to a lack of buyers. Homes that are up for sale are moving quickly. Year-to-date, the median number of days a

home sits on the market before it sells is down to 22 days compared with an already-low 34 days last year. For homes that sold in May, sales came at an even quicker pace. The average number of days on the market was just 11 days for existing homes.

Instead, real estate agents say the market is being slowed by a

smaller-than-normal inventory of homes on the market. In May, the number of homes on the market dropped to 260, down from 349 in 2015 and 451 in 2014. The Lawrence market is now estimated to have a supply of homes for sale to cover 1.8 months of activity. When a market is well balanced between buyers and sellers, a market generally has four to six months worth of homes on the market.

“Our peak selling months of May, June and July will feel the impact of such low inventory levels,” Carl Cline, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors said in a release. “We went into June with a 1.8 month’s supply of homes on the market, which is the lowest absorption rate

we’ve had in Lawrence in a long, long, long time.”

The low supply of homes is having a predictable impact on selling prices. Average selling prices are on the rise. Year-to-date, the median selling price for a Lawrence home is now $170,000, which is up 4.6 percent from the same period a year ago.

A big question going forward is whether this market will spur Lawrence homebuilders to really accelerate their pace of new home construction. Indeed new construction is going on both on the east and west sides of the community — the Oregon Trail addition is being constructed near Rock Chalk Park, Langston Heights is near

some with one sink, some with two, some sharing a sink area with another room.

“They’re all different,” KU Student Housing director Diana Robertson said. “That’s the part that we want to preserve.”

In that sense, Robertson said, the Corbin Hall project is really more of a “restoration” than a renovation.

South Corbin, built in 1923, is campus’ oldest student residential facility. North Corbin, a separate but connected wing, was constructed in 1951. Corbin shares the hilltop at 11th and Louisiana streets with Gertrude Sellards Pearson (GSP) Hall, which also was all-women’s until it was renovated in 2012.

The decision to keep Corbin all female was — like many other KU Student Housing changes — based on demand, Robertson said.

“We’re still filling it,” she said. “That wasn’t the case with GSP. We had trouble filling that as an all-female hall.”

Generations of women have lived there, and many like that atmosphere.

Unlike the atmosphere and the variety of rooms, probably no one will feel nostalgic for another of Corbin Hall’s current

features: window air-conditioners and radiators in every room.

Robertson said that’s primarily what the renovation is for.

Work will re-do Corbin’s infrastructure, getting rid of window and radiator units and replacing them with central heat and air, upgrading lighting and putting

As part of a project at South Middle School, students Amelia Vasquez and Lisa Yang calculated that their cafeteria alone uses more than 250,000 singleuse containers or plastic bags in a school year. In May, the students presented their research to the school board and proposed that the district use segmented, reusable trays instead of flat trays with individual disposable containers.

Kimball said the students’ proposal is in line with the board’s sustainability goals for the district.

“It sits within the goal that we have of developing practices and procedures that make our district more sustainable in terms of our impact on the environment and that’s very important,” Kimball said.

But the district hasn’t made much progress on that front. The district’s cafeterias have used single-use containers in some capacity for at least 20 years for a variety of reasons, such as controlling portion sizes and minimizing staffing and labor costs in school cafeterias, according to Paula Murrish, the district’s director of food services and purchasing.

The district spends approximately $50,000 per year on single-use containers, which amounts to less than 1 percent of its total budget, according to Murrish.

“We could consider purchasing washable plates and bowls to replace disposables,” Murrish said via email. “This would require increasing the Food Service budget

Community seniors, defined as those older than

Langston Hughes Elementary School in west Lawrence, and a new singlefamily neighborhood is under construction off of O’Connell Road in eastern Lawrence. But Lawrence homebuilders are still showing a good deal of caution before jumping back into the rapid pace of building from years ago.

May’s numbers will give builders something to think about. During the month, sales of newly constructed homes totaled 13, which was more than double May 2015’s total. For the year, newly constructed home sales total 35, which is about a 60 percent increase from a year ago.

meals served by the school district have to meet specific nutrition guidelines. Kimball echoed Murrish’s concern that using reusable serving dishes instead of throwaway containers would require additional dishwashing staff that would be difficult to pay for.

Kimball said though the district has industrial-sized dishwashers, staff would still need to load and unload the dishes.

“We go to more things that we have to wash and reuse, that means we need more people to do the work, and those are hardto-fill positions,” Kimball said. “…There has to be somebody whose job it is to do that.”

Historically, some of those jobs are likely to sit empty. Murrish said that food services currently has 14 open positions — including entry-level positions such as

The proposed $5 million Baldwin City community center would help with that as it would include a senior center.

“For example, both dishwashing positions at South Middle School are vacant, including one position that was vacant all of last year,” Murrish said.

Despite those challenges, Kimball doesn’t think that means nothing can be done to reduce the amount of waste created by school cafeterias and by the district as a whole. Last school year, the board set a goal to begin developing a long-range sustainability plan to addresses district operations and facilities.

“I don’t foresee that we would do (the students’ proposal) this next year, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other steps that we could take that would be budgetneutral to reduce our cafeteria waste and improve what we’re doing,” Kimball said. “And that I think is the kind of conversation the board would definitely be interested in having.”

Though progress wasn’t made on the board’s sustainability goal this past school year, Kimball said she thinks it will continue to be a goal next year. The board sets more than a dozen specific goals each year and is set to begin discussing its goals for the upcoming school year in August.

“When we have that discussion at goal setting, I imagine that it will include discussing what are we doing, how can we improve upon it,” Kimball said. “I was very impressed with the work the students did and I think they have a very good point.”

million to build the community center. A half-cent citywide sales tax, which city voters would have to approve, would provide the other $2.5 million needed.

McCullough said if Schlup didn’t make the next pinochle game, she would probably call to check in on him.

real estate industry in 2016. June and July traditionally are busy months.

The industry will need to make up some ground if it hopes to post sales growth for the year.

Thus far, overall home sales in Lawrence total 449, down 3.6 percent from a year ago. Total dollar value of homes sold is at $91.4 million, which is down about 1 percent from a year ago.

It is worth noting that both those numbers are better than 2014 figures, but I think real estate agents are becoming concerned about the tightening market.

Runners CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The Kansas Half Marathon is organized by Health Care Access and draws hundreds of runners to compete each fall.

Last year, more than 1,500 runners participated in the race, which is the first in the three-part Harvest Half Series.

“Healthy behaviors are a key to a healthier community, and we are pleased to partner with our schools,” said Beth Llewellyn, CEO of Health Care Access.

The district operates marathon clubs at all 14 of its elementary schools.

As part of the club, students aim to run or walk 26.2 miles — the length of a marathon — during club meetings before or after school. The distance completed by students is compiled by an electronic tracking system.

More than 1,600 students participated in the clubs last school year, logging the equivalent of 877 marathons, according to Denise Johnson, the district’s curriculum coordinator of health and wellness.

Johnson said each school gives students a Tshirt once they complete a marathon, as well as other incentives, such as a pair of socks or a wristband, to mark their halfway point.

Part of the donations gathered from the Kansas Half Marathon will go toward supplies for the clubs, including incentives for students.

“Each of those components, of course, costs a little money, so part of it is to give them a little bit of a budget in order to help support some of those little trinkets of encouragement along the way for the students,” Johnson said.

At the same time, Johnson said she hopes the partnership with the Kansas Half Marathon will spread awareness about the district’s clubs, which are run by volunteers.

“We’re really looking for people to just come to school and kind of help out and cheer the kids on,” Johnson said.

More information about the district’s marathon clubs is available on its website at USD497. org. Registration is open for the upcoming Kansas Half Marathon, which will be held Nov. 6 in Lawrence. Registration can be completed online at kansashalfmarathon. com.

Zipper merge Highway officials hope to change drivers’ thinking about merging traffic.

H

ad you noticed it’s summer road construction season?

There’s nothing new about construction projects that squeeze two lanes of traffic into one, but state highway officials are introducing a new wrinkle concerning how motorists should handle that situation.

When faced with a merge situation, the instinct of many drivers is to move at their earliest opportunity into the lane that will remain open, often creeping along, perhaps for miles, before the actual merge point. If you’re one of those drivers in that line, you may be annoyed at people who continue to whiz by in the other lane and then merge into the remaining lane close to where their lane disappears.

It just doesn’t seem fair.

Well, you may have to get over your aggravation at those drivers.

The Kansas Department of Transportation is using a repair project for the U.S. Highway 69 bridge at 119th Street in Johnson County, to promote what they call a “zipper merge.” The zipper merge encourages drivers to travel in both lanes of traffic up to the merge point and then take turns (like the teeth of a zipper) merging into the single remaining lane.

KDOT is viewing the Johnson County site as a pilot project to see how drivers respond to the zipper merge strategy. Other states, including Missouri, have promoted the zipper merge as a way to improve traffic flow and reduce backups in construction zones. The Missouri Department of Transportation encourages drivers to think of the zipper merge as two lanes merging into one rather than one lane merging into the other.

Educating drivers about the advantages of the zipper merge will take some time, but the idea makes a lot of sense.

The new plan calls for drivers to show some patience and courtesy, but in the long run, it probably will decrease waiting and traffic congestion in construction zones, and that’s a change any motorist should be able to get behind.

Brexit effects will hit Latin America Britain’s June 23 vote to leave the European Union will have economic ripple effects that will hurt Latin America, but its potential political impact could be much more dangerous.

Let’s start with the economic consequences of the Brexit, as Britain’s decision to leave the EU is now universally known.

First, most economists agree that it will cause a further decline of Latin American commodity prices, which have already fallen substantially over the past four years.

The Brexit is expected to bring about a sharp slowdown in European trade, which would slow down world economic growth.

That would bring down Latin American commodity prices, because slower world economic growth means that rich countries will buy less oil, minerals, grains and other raw materials that Latin America sells.

According to a recent Inter-American Development Bank study, Bolivia depends on commodities for 97 percent of its export income, Venezuela for 96 percent, Ecuador for 94 percent, Peru for 87 percent, Chile for 88 percent, Colombia for 83 percent, Argentina for 69 percent and Brazil for 67 percent. Mexico and Central America are less dependent on raw materials than South America.

Second, Brexit will hurt investments in Latin America.

Britain’s vote to leave the EU has brought about anxiety among investors, dragging

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

With all of its faults and pending assignments, globalization has brought worldwide growth and an unprecedented reduction of poverty in China, India, the rest of Asia and — at a slower pace — in Latin America.” down stock markets worldwide. And in times of uncertainty, investors flock to places they consider safe, such as the United States, and tend to avoid putting their money in emerging markets.

In addition, the flight to U.S. assets is strengthening the U.S. dollar, which makes it more expensive for Latin American countries to pay their dollar-denominated debts, and for Latin Americans to pay for imported goods, or to vacation in Miami.

Many economists fear that the current nervousness in financial markets

will drag out for months, if not years. According to EU rules, Britain and EU members will have two years to negotiate the terms of Britain’s exit.

During that period, other EU members such as the Netherlands may seek to follow Britain’s example and leave the EU. Much like in Britain, populist politicians in the Netherlands blame the EU’s admission of Middle Eastern refugees for the country’s economic problems.

Most analysts agree that Europe can expect several years of political turmoil.

“This won’t be a temporary storm,” says Alberto Bernal, chief global strategist with XP Securities.

Fears of an EU breakup are not entirely irrational. There have been many chain reactions in recent world history.

After the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, many Eastern European countries declared their independence from the former Soviet Union. In the 2000s, Venezuela’s oil-fueled radical populism spread to several other Latin American countries, and the so-called Arab Spring swept across a large chunk of North Africa.

Third, Brexit will hurt Latin America’s free trade negotiations with Europe.

Following the recent changes of governments in Brazil and Argentina, South America’s Mercosur trade bloc was trying to revive 16-yearold talks for a bilateral free trade deal with the EU. That

will be hard to do now, when the EU will be busy trying to fight for its own survival.

My opinion: Brexit will have a serious impact on Latin America, but it won’t be catastrophic. On the plus side for Latin America, it will help keep U.S. interests low, which may drive international investors to return to the region seeking higher returns for their money once the current nervousness subsides.

But Brexit’s biggest longterm risk is political. It may embolden anti-globalization, protectionist demagogues everywhere, including Donald Trump in the United States.

After the Brexit vote, Trump has already stepped up his promises to re-negotiate the NAFTA and Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deals.

With all of its faults and pending assignments, globalization has brought worldwide growth and an unprecedented reduction of poverty in China, India, the rest of Asia and — at a slower pace — in Latin America.

And the EU has been a symbol of the benefits of common markets and free trade.

A return to protectionism could lead to the trade wars that triggered the Great Depression in the 1930s, and both Asia and Latin America — which depend on trade much more than the United States — would be among the biggest losers of a new world depression. We should all be cheering for the EU’s survival.

The agriculture industry has historically been a fundamental part of the Kansas economy, so we were surprised and concerned to see the article in the June 28 Journal-World that claimed agriculture was no longer a strong part of the “threelegged stool” of the Kansas economy.

W h e n the author asserted that agriculture is no longer the major player it once was, he supported that McClaskey statement with incomplete economic statistics. Although one could select a segment of agricultural sectors that will combine for the 4.3 percent he quoted, this falls far short of representing the scope of the entire agriculture industry.

In fact, agriculture, food and food processing comprise 66 sectors with a total direct output of approximately $46.2 billion.

Extending beyond the obvious “agriculture” categories

YOUR TURN like beef cattle and grain farming, these sectors include industries like farm equipment manufacturing, agriculture real estate, landscape services and dairy production and processing.

When combined with indirect and induced effects of these sectors, the agriculture industry provides a total economic contribution of approximately $62.8 billion, or roughly 43 percent of the state’s economy. If you include retail food, that number grows to $74 billion and 50 percent of the state’s economy.

So why the difference between these two drastically different numbers? It’s a common misunderstanding, based on the limited definition of agriculture as only the direct sales of crops and livestock. In fact, as many Kansans know, the agriculture industry in our state is a much more vibrant and complex network of processing operations, wholesale businesses, manufacturing plants, and much more.

From flour mills to pet food manufacturing, from horticultural services to farmers markets, from farm machinery operations to winer-

ies, from veterinarians to bakeries, agriculture can be seen in every corner of every community across the state of Kansas. All of these agribusinesses are made possible by Kansas’ vast capabilities in production agriculture, with over 28 million acres of cropland, 6.25 million head of cattle, and much more.

And within each of these economic ventures you’ll find Kansans with great jobs; in fact, the agriculture food and food processing industries support 12.5 percent of the entire workforce in the state.

Clearly, agriculture is a critical economic factor in Kansas, and it continues to be a strong leg in the “threelegged stool” which your writer used as an analogy for the state’s economy. That has been true throughout the history of our state, and it will continue to be true in the future as agriculture works to encourage growth of the Kansas economy.

If you would like to know more about the role agriculture plays in the future of Kansas, please contact us at the Kansas Department of Agriculture or take a look at the full economic report on our website at agriculture. ks.gov/ksag.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 5, 1916: years “Unique in ago conception and IN 1916 faultless in execution, the celebration of Independence Day at Baldwin will be remembered by the thousands who enjoyed it as one of the most unusual and interesting they ever attended.

This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the battle of Black Jack, one of the first clashes in the struggle for free Kansas, and the celebration yesterday happily combined the commemoration of that event and the anniversary of the nation.

Baldwin had been preparing for the event for some months and there was no detail lacking in the arrangements. From the arrival of Governor Capper and his party early in the morning until the curtain rang down on the last scene of the spirited pageant, ‘The Spirit of ‘56,’ presented in the Baker University gymnasium in the evening, every feature was fitting and enjoyable.”

“The Ninth Street Baptist church held its annual picnic and barbecue yesterday at Pinckney Grove. About 500 people were present during the day. A picnic dinner was served at noon and supper. The youngsters as well as the old participated in the races and amusements of the afternoon and after supper a three-reel moving picture was shown.”

“One of the unusual features of the Fourth of July as it appeared in Lawrence was the fact that only three violations of the city ordinance prohibiting shooting of fireworks within the city limits were reported. In all three cases the complaints were minor ones and following arrest the offenders were released.”

“The first threshing outfit to start work in Douglas county was started today for Alfred Heck on the Will Green farm north of town. The threshing outfit belongs to the DeHoff brothers. No report on the amount of grain to the acre was available this afternoon as the men were only trying out the new machine preparatory to starting on a full day’s work tomorrow.”

“I lost my brother and his 5year-old son” in Sunday’s bombing, said Layal Hussain, who came to the shopping district Monday to search for them. “We have been looking since Sunday morning. I searched among the burned corpses in the morgue.

He is not with them. The last time we talked, he was telling us he bought nice clothes for his son, and his little son was very happy.”

When Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi toured the site of the attack Sunday, an angry crowd upset with the government’s failure to deter Islamic State bombings threw rocks and shoes at his car and called him a thief.

Democrat Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican Donald Trump narrowed to 5 percentage points, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, in a groundbreaking presidential election that is sparking feelings of alarm for most voters.

The nationwide survey shows a sharply polarized electorate that says the country is headed in the wrong direction, feels less safe living in the USA than they used to and gives negative ratings to both presidential candidates.

Sixty-one percent report feeling alarmed about the election, swamping the 23% who are excited.

Few are bored: EPA just 9%.

Clinton “I can appreciate how it might be desirable to have someone that is outside the political realm bringing a new perspective, but at the same time, the comAP plete lack of Trump electoral experience is scary,” Gurleen Chadha, 23, a medical student from Los Angeles, said of Trump in a follow-up phone interview after being polled. She supports Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

On the other hand, Michael Perrotta, 48, an account executive for a trucking firm on Long Island, worries about Clinton’s integrity. “She has a lot of investigations, and it’s a little questionable,” he said. He backs the presumptive Republican nominee. “I am sure Donald Trump is no angel, but he doesn’t have that special-interest thing.”

Clinton leads Trump by 5 percentage points, 45.6% to 40.4% (Rounding would make the lead 6 points). That’s closer than two months ago, when she led in the USA TODAY survey by double digits, 50%-39%.

Since the poll last spring, both candidates have consolidated their claims to their parties’ nominations, but neither has seen a significant bump in his or

Iraqis fear sectarian flames will flare anew ‘We are living a horror movie’ under threat

by Islamic State Ammar Al Shamary and Gilgamesh Nabeel Special for USA TODAY

BAGHDAD Iraqis fear their country will descend into sectarian war again in the wake of the Islamic State’s suicide truck bombing in the capital Sunday, one of the deadliest attacks in Iraq since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

“We are living a horror movie,” Al-Mujtaba Al-Waeli, 28, a musician in the Iraqi national orchestra, said Monday. “Our relatives and beloved ones die on daily basis in different ways. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, to see the day when my homeland is safe again.”

Bye-bye, BlackBerry: Senate reaches a mobile milestone Lawmakers finally making the switch Allana Akhtar USA TODAY

The U.S. Senate is finally making the switch from BlackBerry to Android or iPhone, a change most of us made years ago.

After a decade of being issued BlackBerry devices, Senate staff will no longer receive new phones, according to a memo from the Senate sergeant at arms sent last week to administrative managers, chief clerks and sys-

tem administrators that was posted by Politico and blogger Jim Swift.

The reason, according to the memo: BlackBerry told telecom carriers Verizon and AT&T that production of all Blackberry OS 10 devices (Q10, Z10, Z30, Passport and Classic) is being discontinued and future fulfillment can’t be guaranteed.

A BlackBerry representative did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for BlackBerry told The Wall Street Journal the company has informed cellphone carriers that it is discontinuing its line of BlackBerry Classic phones, which is a

popular model on Capitol Hill.

Staffers can use the remaining phones in stock and will continue to receive uninterrupted warranty and technical support for the “foreseeable future,” the memo said.

It’s not clear what fate awaits the House’s BlackBerry loyalists.

The BlackBerry has long fallen out of fashion for most smartphone users, forcing a management shake-up at the Canadian tech company, rounds of layoffs and a turnaround strategy focused on secure software.

Waterloo, Ont.-based BlackBerry reported a loss of $671 million and a more than 30% drop in

revenue during the three months ended May 31. It sold 500,000 phones in that period. In contrast, Apple sold 51 million iPhones in its latest quarter.

Still, the BlackBerry has been a

staple in Congress for its long battery life, prominence of e-mail and easy-to-use keyboard.

It has a reputation for being one of the most secure products available; it has been fully encrypted for at least a decade.

In an interview with USA TODAY last year, BlackBerry CEO John Chen said the company relied on the heads of state and governments in developed countries such as the USA to stay loyal to the phone for its top-ofthe-line security features.

“If we can secure the device, it makes securing the software and the data management … easier,” Chen said.

Bigger Panama Canal needs scrutiny Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

PANAMA CITY Since Ferdinand de Lesseps embarked in 1882 on his quest to cut a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Panama Canal has had its moments of mystery and despair.

Landslides, corruption and outbreaks of cholera, malaria and yellow fever that killed more than 22,000 workers doomed the French effort to build the canal. For a while, it seemed as if the jungles of Panama would refuse to be bridled.

American engineers took over, protecting workers by adopting a then-obscure theory that mosquitoes carry disease.

They employed smarter engineering and completed the 50mile canal by 1914.

Walking around this stifling, tropical city, it’s easy to imagine the heat and brutal conditions workers endured more than a century ago as they toiled under the punishing Panamanian sun.

I arrived here recently to witness the official opening of the Panama Canal’s expansion, a monumental feat that allows

IN BRIEF

BREXIT BACKER FARAGE STEPS DOWN AS UKIP LEADER

Cosco Shipping Panama, a 694foot Chinese container ship, slowly made the maiden voyage through the new locks. A Facebook Live broadcast I did via iPhone of the celebrations drew “likes” and enthusiastic wellwishers from Singapore, England, Venezuela and other corners of the globe.

But hanging solemnly over the party was a report, published

through the canal, who claim the new locks are too narrow to safely escort the ships through.

Work stoppages, porous concrete and a risk of earthquakes also plagued the project, the report said.

At an event hosted by the U.S. Embassy the morning of the inauguration, reporters asked John Feeley, U.S. ambassador to Panama, about the Times report.

He said he welcomed robust scrutiny, but 102 years after the canal was completed, the locks still work. “I remain very optimistic that this canal will continue to bring benefits to Panama and the world,” he said.

At the celebration, I met José Peláez, project director for the consortium that led the project.

When I asked him about the Times article, he said he didn’t feel it was fair because it quoted a lot of people not directly involved with the project, and stringent quality control measures were used. “I feel very proud about the job that has been done here,” Peláez told me.

We marvel at how man bends nature to his benefit. But as we continue to push the boundaries between nature and technology, we should be increasingly vigilant. Sometimes, nature pushes back.

Donald Trump planned to spend part of Monday’s holiday with a potential running mate pick: Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa.

“I look forward to meeting @joniernst today in New Jersey,” Trump tweeted. “She has done a great job as Senator of Iowa!”

On social media, he praised two other lawmakers who may be on his veep shortlist, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton. — David M Jackson LAST LOOK AT JUPITER IN MISSION’S FINAL HOURS

NASA was excited but anxious about its 5-year-old mission to slip a satellite into orbit around Jupiter on Monday. “We’ve done everything we can. We’ve protected everything as best we can,” said Scott Bolton, principal investigator of the Juno mission.

The main concern: Unknown factors such as radiation and space debris could affect the $1 billion spacecraft and its trajectory. “We’ve modeled it, but we’re going into unknown territory,” Bolton said.

her standing. Indeed, Clinton’s support has dropped by almost 5 points.

When Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are added to the list of options, Clinton’s lead over Trump drops to 4 points, 39%-35%. Johnson is backed by 8%, Stein by 3%.

“On one side, you have Hillary, who is being investigated by the FBI, and then you have Donald Trump, who has diarrhea of the mouth,” said Jay Brooks, 31, an engineer from Huntsville, Ala. “I don’t think either of them are electable or would be a good president.”

Brooks backs Johnson, but the third-party contenders face an uphill campaign despite expectations they will be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed have never heard of the Libertarian candidate; 59% have never heard of the Green Party candidate.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken by landline and cellphones from June 26 to 29, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

Clinton commands more positive allegiance than Trump.

“I don’t think either of them are electable or would be a good president.”

Jay Brooks, Huntsville, Ala.

By more than 3-1, 74% to 22%, Clinton supporters say they are mostly voting for her, not against him.

Trump’s backers are more evenly divided on their motivation: 48% are mostly voting for him; 39% are mostly voting against her.

Still, Trump supporters are a bit more likely to say they’re “excited” about the election, 27% compared with 24%.

Clinton supporters are a bit

more likely to say they’re “alarmed,” 62% to 56%.

Those in both camps vow their views are set in stone: More than nine of 10 of Clinton supporters and of Trump supporters say there is no chance they would switch to the other side. Twelve percent of those surveyed are undecided, a smaller percentage than in the Suffolk Poll taken during the summer of the presidential race four years ago.

In the survey, 53% have an unfavorable opinion of Clinton; 60% have an unfavorable opinion of Trump. Nearly one in five respondents hold a negative view of both — a swing group whose lesser-oftwo-evils choice could determine the outcome of a competitive election, says David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.

“Despite their negative feelings toward both candidates, when asked to choose between the two, 26% chose Trump, 19% picked Clinton, 44% were undecided and 11% refused a response,” Paleologos said.

the country, and minority Sunnis who ruled the country before the U.S. invasion. The Islamic State militants are Sunnis who have the backing of some Sunnis who feel threatened by the security forces and independent Shiite militias who help regular Iraqi troops battle the militants.

Fighting between Sunnis and Shiites erupted a decade ago, forcing the U.S. military to send in more troops to quell the violence and prevent all-out civil war.

Sarmad Ghaz, a shop owner who lost his son in a fire that followed Sunday’s bombing, blamed government officials’ incompetence for the high death toll from the attack.

“I saw people burning (because) the civil defense officers were so slow to rescue them,” Ghaz said. “It is all the fault of the government.”

Ghaz said security forces, which set up checkpoints with explosives detectors on the crowded road leading to the shopping area, did a poor job.

That street bears black banners with names of victims. One banner had seven names from one family.

On the prime minister’s orders, Iraqi authorities arrested officials who were overseeing security in the area. Al-Abadi ordered an investigation into British-made explosives detectors that have missed bombs.

Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who organized the protests, has recruited and trained his militias to provide their own security, if needed.

“There are real concerns of (sectarian) infighting,” said Riyadh Mohammed, an Iraqi journalist and former spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Justice.

“They are all heavily armed, and the situation might explode.”

The growing criticism of the government follows several battlefield victories it has achieved against the Islamic State.

Iraqi forces — aided by Shiite militias, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and Iranian military advisers — have retaken the cities of Fallujah, Ramadi and Tikrit from the Islamic State in the past year.

Fallujah, less than 40 miles west of Baghdad, was recaptured last month, and the government said that victory would deter militants holed up there from carrying out terror bombings in the capital.

Tight security and hint of uneasiness mark celebration of independence Police presence reassures attendees at capital’s parade Michael Burke USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Shaogang Wang watched the lively Fourth of July Parade on Monday from a distance, standing behind a chainlink fence to keep away from Constitution Avenue, packed shoulder to shoulder with throngs of people.

In the wake of recent bombings claimed by the Islamic State around the globe, including three major attacks in the past week alone, Wang, 34, from New Jersey was concerned about his safety.

“We’re going to avoid going into the crowd,” he said. “That’s why I’m standing far away.”

He wasn’t the only one uneasy over terrorist threats as thousands celebrated America’s independence from one of the most patriotic spots of all that’s also a potential terrorist target: the National Mall.

Security concerns have been in the back of Hope Stewart’s mind since she arrived in town this week to celebrate her mother’s 90th birthday.

“But we’re here anyway,” the 59-year-old from Australia said.

“If we were too concerned, we wouldn’t have chosen to come here.”

In New York, authorities sought to assure the public that a weekend explosion that severely injured a Virginia man in Central Park was not related to terrorism.

Detective Ahmed Nasser told USA TODAY that physicians were forced to amputate Connor Golden’s left leg below the knee after the 18-year-old college student stepped on a homemade firework or other explosive while rock climbing Sunday.

Nasser reiterated that there were no specific, credible threats directed at the city’s celebrations.

Details on the type of explosive and the reason it was in the park have not been determined, Nasser said.

sure as soon as it was announced.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., said Friday that Democrats will “continue to push House Republicans to give the American people a vote on meaningful gun violence prevention measures.”

Lewis and Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., one of the other sit-in organizers, asked Ryan to allow votes on amendments that would expand background checks to private gun sales and block gun sales to people on terrorism no-fly lists.

If Ryan refuses, it is not clear whether Democrats would resume their floor protests.

Ryan said last week that the House will not tolerate further disruptions. His office gathered recommendations from the House parliamentarian and the sergeant-at-arms for how to deal with any protests. In theory, lawmakers could be removed from the floor if they break House rules, but Ryan has not expressed any intention to have lawmakers dragged out.

Ryan will also move to bring up a bill aimed at improving mental health care proposed by Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., which Republicans have pointed to as a key component of addressing mass shootings.

WASHINGTON The Army disciplined 10 of 12 civilian and military personnel deemed responsible for the poor laboratory practices and the “culture of complacency” that led to the bungled shipments of deadly anthrax samples to 50 states and nine foreign countries.

The Army took action against nine of 10 civilians and one of two Army officers found responsible last year for the lapses at the Dugway Proving Grounds lab in Utah.

The Army did not disclose the nature of the discipline, citing privacy concerns, said Col. Pat Seiber, a spokesman. The discipline was meted out in the past month, about five months after the Army issued a harsh report on lab practices and poor oversight at Dugway.

Brig. Gen. William King, the most senior official found responsible for the lapses, remains head of the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives command at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.

King was the only person named in the report. “Action is currently pending against Brig. Gen. King,” Seiber said.

In January, senior Army officials said the discipline for those implicated could range from retraining to firing.

The Army’s report did not attribute the errant shipments over a decade to an individual or

group. Instead it found that leadership at Dugway “created conditions allowing a culture of complacency to flourish,” according to the report. “As a result, laboratory personnel did not always follow rules, regulations and procedures.”

No one was sickened by the shipments. Dugway’s failure to kill anthrax specimens with radiation went undetected until a private firm discovered last year that some the samples it had received had spores that could still grow.

Leadership at the Dugway Proving Grounds lab “created conditions allowing a culture of complacency to flourish.”

Army report

The report said King “repeatedly deflected blame and minimized the severity of incidents,” adding that he “lacks introspection and fails to recognize the scope and severity of the incidents that occurred during his command.”

At the time of the report, King released a statement saying he considered the safety of those under his command a top priority and was cooperating with the investigation. Army Secretary Eric Fanning will receive a report in coming weeks, Seiber said.

Anthrax samples were shipped to 50 states.

Student missing in Rome found dead Josh Hafner USA TODAY

An American student who disappeared in Rome late last week was found dead in the Tiber River, a university confirmed Monday.

Beau Solomon, 19, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student, went missing a day after arriving to study at Rome’s John Cabot University, the small liberal arts school said. Monday, the school confirmed that the body of a young man police found earlier that day was Solomon’s.

Initial reports described the body with a head wound and a bloodied shirt, according to Reuters, and police have not ruled out homicide. Amid the weekend’s search efforts for Solomon, the student’s family discovered thousands of charges to his credit card, according to a Madison TV station.

John Cabot University said Solomon’s roommate lost contact with him around 1 a.m.

MONEYLINE TESLA FALLS SHORT ON ELECTRIC CAR DELIVERIES Tesla Motors delivered significantly fewer electric cars than anticipated in the second quarter as it fell short of production targets and churned out a flurry of vehicles in the last four weeks.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company run by Elon Musk said Sunday it delivered 14,370 vehicles during the quarter, including 9,745 of its Model S and 4,625 of its Model X, about 15% fewer than the 17,000 predicted in May. The company sharply ramped up production, cranking out 18,345 vehicles from April to June, 20% more than in the first quarter. But it had estimated it would produce 20,000.

CASINO WORKERS PICKET ICAHN’S TRUMP TAJ MAHAL Workers upset over cuts to health and other benefits at Atlantic City’s Trump Taj Mahal casino extended their strike into the fourth day on the July Fourth holiday, picketing the casino and boardwalk and prompting the the resort to halt room reservations through next week.

About 1,000 of the resort’s cooks, housekeepers, bellmen and servers had walked off the job Friday, seeking reinstatement of health, pension and other benefits eliminated during 2014 bankruptcy proceedings, as well as higher wages.

Workers and owners of four other casinos — Caesars, Harrah’s resort, Bally’s and Tropicana — had reached a tentative deal on a new contract on the eve of the July 1 strike deadline.

Management of Trump Taj Mahal, owned by Carl Icahn, says it has spent $86 million keeping the Taj Mahal alive through bankruptcy.

However, the jurors were unable to reach verdicts for two codefendants in the case, Stylianos Contogoulas and Ryan Reich.

The case focused on allegations the defendants colluded to rig U.S. dollar rates of Libor — the London Interbank Offered Rate — a standard that represents the rates London-based banks would lend to each other in various world currencies.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS Low-paid workers are LIFE leading in wage gains AUTOS TRAVEL State, local increases help reverse years of salary stagnation Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Low-paid workers didn’t exactly declare their independence this past weekend but they did snag another round of minimum wage hikes as part of their yearslong rebellion against languishing earnings.

An unusual flurry of minimum wage increases took effect Friday in Maryland and Oregon, as well as in 13 cities and counties, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, and Louisville, Ky., according to the conservative Employment Policies Institute and liberal National Employment Law Project. The initiatives will boost minimum pay to as much as $13 to $14.82 an hour in parts of California.

Studies show the efforts have been fruitful, with the pay of lowwage workers rising faster than higher earners. Meanwhile, employer advocates are taking a newly aggressive stance against the raises, running ads to argue they’re hurting firms and jeopardizing summer jobs for teens.

Kejioun Johnson, 20, who has worked at a McDonald’s (MCD) in Chicago the past year, has been earning the city’s minimum wage of $10 an hour, but typically puts in just 7 1/2 hours a week, often forcing him to skip meals. The extra 50 cents an hour he pocketed starting Friday “can be like an extra meal,” says Johnson, who also recently started a part-time job at Burger King.

Separately, workers at four of five Atlantic City casino hotels who threatened to strike Friday won higher pay, and kept healthcare and pension benefits on the eve of the deadline. Trump Taj Mahal workers walked off the job.

The past two years, more than a dozen states and dozens of cities and counties have voted to gradually increase their pay floors through legislation or ballot initiatives. Advocates largely credit the Fight for $15 movement, which has led fast-food worker strikes across the U.S. since 2012.

Nearly 30 states with 60% of the U.S. workforce now have minimum wages higher than the federal government’s $7.25 an

hour, according to NELP. And after California and New York agreed early this year to boost their base pay to $15 an hour by 2022, joining cities such as Seattle and San Francisco, 20% of U.S. workers are in regions transitioning to that threshold, NELP says “Now that the minimum wage increases are accelerating, we’re going to see much bigger gains at the bottom … that will start reversing decades of widening pay inequality,” says NELP General Counsel Paul Sonn.

In early 2016, workers in the bottom fourth of the pay scale notched annual average pay hikes of 4.2%, compared to 2.7% for median earners, according to a Moody’s Analytics review of Labor Department figures.

The bigger increases for lowwage workers partly reflect a tightening labor market that saw that group lag behind higher earners for years, but they mostly stem from the minimum wage

hikes, says Moody’s Chief Economist Mark Zandi. Earnings gains for the 10th percentile of workers grew nearly twice as fast last year in states that passed minimum wage increases, an Economic Policy Institute study showed.

Many employers cite drawbacks. The Employment Policies Institute, which is backed by the restaurant industry, ran a fullpage ad in Thursday’s New York Times that said unions’ call for a $15 wage “will kill the job market for young people” as employers seek experienced workers. The group’s research director, Michael Saltsman, says sharp pay hikes in California have led some businesses to close or cut staff.

Michael and Susan Iida shuttered Mokka coffee house in Berkeley last month as minimum wage hikes from $8 to $11 an hour the past few years cut profits 65%, Michael says. The couple raised prices but that hurt traffic, leaving revenue unchanged.

Facebook enabling peer-to-peer fundraising Friends can help spur donations to their favorite non-profits Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO New to your Facebook News Feed: friend-raising.

As of Thursday, some Facebook users in the United States were able to create campaigns to raise money for personal causes from their friends. They can share their personal story and set a fundraising goal on dedicated pages so that friends can donate to 501 (c)(3) non-profits in a few taps or clicks without leaving Facebook.

Facebook, which began allowing non-profits to raise money on the giant social network late last year, has signed up some 50 nonprofits and will continue to enroll more.

The initiative comes from the “Social Good” team run by early Facebook employee Naomi Gleit.

Gleit says Facebook noticed people were raising money on Facebook for causes they care about, from breast cancer walks to climate change, and wanted to make it easier.

“The inspiration for this is that it was already happening on Facebook,” says Gleit, Facebook’s vice president of product management for social good.

For years the promise of harvesting donations on social media

U.S.-based non-profits with 501 (c) (3) status can sign up. has dangled out of reach, lagging direct mail, events and other more traditional ways of soliciting donations. Three-quarters of visitors to charity websites came via a search query or by typing in the URL, with only 3% hailing from social media, according to Adobe Digital Index.

In 2007, Internet entrepreneur Joe Green and Facebook billionaire Sean Parker created a Facebook app called Causes. Their theory: People are more likely to donate money to help a cause that is important to someone close to them. Friends who respond to that social pressure receive something in return: social recognition.

Yet charitable giving on Facebook ran into challenges. By and large, people swiping through their News Feed were not so easily lured away from Facebook to

donate on a non-profit’s website.

What is emerging as a potentially powerful force: peer-topeer fundraising, appeals for small sums directly from friends.

One notable success hints at the potential for this type of fundraising on Facebook: the 2014 Ice Bucket Challenge in which friends and celebrities dumped buckets of ice water to raise $115 million for ALS research. In fact, that campaign was so successful that The ALS Association, convinced it could have raised even more money directly on Facebook, asked Facebook for the ability to do so.

In testing personal fundraising campaigns on Facebook, Gleit says Facebook learned that friends are moved to open up their wallets by personal stories and photos.

“Giving is really personal. It’s

one thing for American Red Cross to raise money for American Red Cross. It’s another for a friend to raise money on behalf of American Red Cross,” Gleit says.

“We tend to give to people that we care about.”

With the fundraising campaigns, Facebook users can make their appeal on Facebook, Facebook Messenger and by email.

Each time someone donates to the campaign, they are prompted to share the campaign and invite friends. Shares and re-shares also contain the “donate” button.

Initially, 1% of U.S. users will be able to create the fundraising campaigns and people in 39 countries can donate to them. In coming weeks the tools will roll out to all U.S. Facebook users, Gleit says.

Any U.S.-based non-profit that has 501 (c) (3), status a verified Facebook page and agrees to the Facebook Pages Terms can sign up for the program. Not all of the funds raised go to the non-profits.

Two percent will cover the cost of running the service, such as vetting non-profits and protecting against fraud, 3% will go to payment processing. Among the non-profits taking part are The Nature Conservancy, Alzheimer’s Association, Girls Prep Campaign and Oxfam.

Mason Weintraub, director of digital engagement with Oxfam America, says she’s cautiously optimistic.

“It’s early days but I think there is a lot of potential,” Weintraub says.

Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

After a prominent television journalist and several athletes backed out of the Olympic Games in Brazil because of concerns about that country’s Zika outbreak, some businesses are questioning how best to protect employees headed to affected regions.

Golfer Jason Day announced last week that he would not participate in the Games when they kick off next month in Rio. He joins other golfers, including Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Shane Lowry, who said they will not play in Brazil.

In early June, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie said she would not help cover the Olympics because she is expecting her second child and is concerned about the Zika virus’ link to birth defects and miscarriages.

Though Brazil is at the center of the Zika crisis, the largely mosquito-borne virus has struck at least 61 countries and territories, according to the World Health Organization, increasing the possibility of exposure for some global travelers.

“One thing that’s become challenging for the business and leisure traveler is that Zika has spread to a lot of areas where people travel, including the United States, and avoiding it is becoming more and more difficult,” says Daniel Durazo, spokesman for Allianz Global Assistance,

With high-profile figures canceling plans to attend the Rio Olympics, some travelers are factoring Zika into their plans.

USA, which provides travel insurance and other travel assistance to businesses as well as other clients. “I think people need to become aware of what the risks are and plan accordingly.”

A Zika infection can lead to symptoms as mild as a rash, fever or joint pain. The virus has also been linked to microcephaly, a condition in which a baby has an abnormally small head and may struggle throughout their lifetime with a series of health issues ranging from vision problems to intellectual disabilities and seizures. Zika may cause GuillainBarré syndrome, which can lead to paralysis or death.

The WHO has not declared a general restriction on trips to Zika-affected areas, but in February, the organization said the spread of the virus was a worldwide

emergency, and it recommends that pregnant women avoid traveling to locations where there are outbreaks.

“It’s a deep concern for travelers obviously, because any time you are in an area with poor sanitation or standing water, which is very common through Latin America, you’re potentially going to be subjected to this particular species of mosquito,” says Brian McNary, vice president of the global risk group at Pinkerton, a corporate risk management firm.

Businesses haven’t been canceling trips to areas that have experienced Zika outbreaks. “Most travel managers I have spoken with say it’s not a major issue,” says Kevin Mitchell of the Business Travel Coalition. “But they are being flexible and allowing employees to opt out of travel to

the worst-hit areas if they are concerned.”

McNary agrees that businesses do not seem to be postponing trips, but he has seen “an uptick in caution and pre-trip awareness.”

Because Zika most seriously affects a subset of the public — pregnant women, women who may become pregnant and their partners — some risk-management experts say the virus may not be quite as alarming as such previous health scares as H1N1 or SARS, which put a chill on some travel. “The risk potential is heavily restricted to those who are currently pregnant, intending to become pregnant or a partner,” McNary says. “That’s still a very large segment of the population, but it does narrow it down from anybody or everybody.”

For travelers who are vulnerable, or anyone who simply wants to be extra careful, there are precautions that can be taken.

“First avoid areas of standing water,” McNary says. “We’re talking about mud puddles, slow, sluggish moving rivers, public square fountains that are not really active and aerated. All of these present breeding grounds for the mosquito. That’s probably the first and foremost concern.”

Make sure to pack plenty of insect repellent. “And cover your potentially affected areas,” he says. “Cover down to your wrists.

Don’t wear shorts if you can help it if you’re an at-risk person. ...

And use light clothing whenever possible. Mosquitoes are more attracted to darker clothing.”

Q: Do airplanes have a hard time taking off in Arizona because of the hot weather?

— Chris Batten, Lilburn, Ga. A: I would not say they have a hard time, but performance is definitely limited by the heat. Hot air does not allow the wing to create as much lift (fewer air molecules); therefore, the weight must be reduced to maintain the required climb path. Very high temperatures such as Arizona, the Middle East or other desert environments require careful preflight planning.

Q: What kind of challenges do pilots face when taking off in the summertime from Albuquerque because of altitude and temperature?

— Rodger B., Albuquerque A: Airports such as Albuquerque that are at high altitude have less air with which to produce lift.

The atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude. When it is hot, air is less dense than when it is cold. Adding the two issues together means a high-altitude airport on a hot day has less dense air at lower pressure. Pilots calculate this to determine the density altitude.

Q: I had heard that over 117 degrees F, planes cannot fly.

Is there a specific temperature at which they can’t operate?

— Joyce Gioia A: The airplane manufacturer provides performance charts for normal operations. These charts have upper limits and are generally around the figure you cite (near 120 F). If the temperature exceeds the upper value on the chart, then it is not possible to perform the required calculations, and the airplane is not legally allowed to fly. An operator can purchase high-temperature performance charts, which enable more precise calculations that may allow the airplane to depart. There is a temperature at which all performance charts stop, making it impossible to fly.

TRY THESE CHEAP THRILLS THIS SUMMER

Special for USA TODAY

When you’re traveling, some of the most frustrating roadblocks aren’t the ones you can see.

They’re the invisible barriers erected by contracts, treaties or technological limitations.

Just ask Michael Stanat, a marketing director who frequently commutes between Tokyo and New York. When he fires up his favorite streaming services while overseas, he’s often thwarted by an error message denying him access to the service he paid for.

The reason? His Internet address says he’s outside the USA. On his travels in mainland China, for example, he found “a lot of content is not available for a variety of issues such as licensing restrictions or other factors such as Internet connectivity.”

You might run into one of these virtual barriers this summer, too. Whether you’re trying to watch a Netflix movie on a plane or tune in to Rhapsody on the beach, you could meet with unyielding digital static. And let’s face it, in an age of streaming entertainment, unseen walls can affect the quality of your trip.

But they don’t have to. You can overcome almost any of these electronic hurdles with a few simple strategies.

The most common block is one that happens after you cross the ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

Whether you’re trying to watch Netflix on a plane or tune in to Rhapsody at the beach, you may hit a wall of digital static. border. Your computer knows you’re abroad because of your Internet protocol address. That’s a problem, because streaming services typically negotiate the rights to entertainment by country.

“Many of these services, including Netflix, Hulu and MLB.TV, will block your access if you are abroad, even though you have paid for the service,” says Pal Bischoff, a privacy advocate for Comparitech.com. “If you are traveling abroad, losing access to subscription services for watching TV shows, movies or to follow your favorite sports team can be very frustrating.”

The workaround? A Virtual Private Network (VPN), which obscures your location. That’s what Katharina Stroehm, a social media manager who lives in Budapest, Hungary, uses. A VPN, she explains, serves more than one

purpose. “It allows you to access the public Wi-Fi in cafes, restaurants and airports without the danger of getting hacked,” she says, “and it gets rid of geo-blocking when I’m trying to keep up with my favorite TV shows from back home.”

I have mixed feelings about this geographic sleight-of-hand.

On the one hand, where I am is no one’s business. On the other hand, my streaming service doesn’t have legal permission to send me content, even if I’ve paid for it. Also, I don’t want to get hacked.

I’ve been testing a VPN called Buffered (buffered.com, $12.99/ month) that integrated quickly with my system and allowed me to watch the latest episode of Silicon Valley while I was in Canada.

But it’s still murky legal territory.

One of my favorite worka-

uDownload a podcast.

Acast (acast.com), also called the “Spotify for podcasts,” is a new app already popular in Europe, and is now available here.

It offers thousands of programs and exclusive content from “The Financial Times” and “BuzzFeed.”

There’s no charge to download the app and subscribe to much of its content. uStream videos on your phone. If you have a T-Mobile account, you can stream videos from Netflix, YouTube and HBO Now, at no extra cost and without it eating into your data plan (t-mobile.com/offer/bingeon-streaming-video.html).

Dial #BNG# (#264#) to enable the service. uSupport your independent bookstore. That’s the idea behind Libro.FM (libro.fm), an online independent audiobook store that promises to put books and book lovers first.

The content is encryptionfree, so you can listen to your audiobooks on any device.

rounds is SiriusXM (siriusxm. com, subscriptions start at $10.99/month). Not only is the system easy to use — it’s like a radio, so there’s no need to fiddle

with an Internet signal or downloads — but for an extra $4 a month, you can also stream music digitally on your phone or any Internet-connected device. The satellite signal is available in northern Mexico and most of Canada. It’s hard to imagine a road trip of any length without the sounds of the Grateful Dead on Channel 23 coming along.

Of course, not all the roadblocks are meant to be overcome.

For example, a streaming service such as Rhapsody ($4.99/month) will let you listen on only one device at a time. A family plan, for up to five users, costs $14.99 a month. It’s a hurdle that’s worth clearing, even if you have to pay for it. Rhapsody’s Premier plan lets you download an unlimited number of songs to your device, giving you a good fallback if you get geo-blocked when you cross a border.

Then again, you could just turn off the music and pick up a good book. That’s what Stefanie Parks, an English teacher and writer in Bangkok, does when she travels.

If you don’t want to carry a paperback, she recommends an app called OverDrive (overdrive.com) that lets you use your library card to download up to 10 books at a time on your tablet. Best of all, it doesn’t cost anything, and there’s no blocking.

“It’s so amazing being able to read whatever books I want and not having to pay for them,” she says.

Now that’s something to add to your summer reading list.

RETIREMENT WAS A ‘SIMPLE DECISION’

LOS ANGELES Garrison Keillor stepped down as host of A Prairie Home Companion after 42 years with a final show Friday night at the Hollywood Bowl in front of 18,000 fans. The show aired Saturday.

“Suddenly, the day becomes the past,” Keillor sang to the crowd. “It went by so fast.” During a rehearsal break, Keillor, 73, spoke with USA TODAY’s Bryan Alexander about his next chapter.

Finding Dory continued to make Fourth of July fireworks.

Disney and Pixar’s buoyant animated sequel paddled to the top of the box office for a third straight week, clinching No. 1 with $50.2 million for the fourday holiday weekend and $380.5 million to date in the USA, according to studio estimates from tracking firm comScore.

The well-reviewed follow-up, which brings back Ellen DeGeneres as forgetful regal blue tang Dory, has now amassed $538.2 million globally. It has already outpaced its predecessor, Finding Nemo, which reeled in $191.5 million its first three weeks in 2003 on its way to $339.7 million total. Dory is now the second highest-grossing film of the year (just behind Captain

America: Civil War, which muscled to $405.6 million).

“Without a film like this generating this kind of revenue and attention, the summer box office would be hurting a little bit,” says comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

The Legend of Tarzan surprised with $45.6 million for second place. The fresh take on the Edgar Rice Burroughs character

stars Alexander Skarsgård as the titular king of the jungle and Margot Robbie as headstrong heroine Jane. The film beat pundits’ predictions of a disappointing opening around $30 million, but the PG-13 movie still has a long way to go if it hopes to cover its $180 million budget.

Low-budget thriller The Purge: Election Year, which puts a political spin on the horror franchise,

lobbied its way to third place and $34.8 million in four days. Its opening is about on par with predecessors The Purge ($34.1 million in 2013) and The Purge: Anarchy ($29.8 million in 2014), both summer releases.

Underwhelming at No. 4, Disney’s The BFG stomped to a mere $22.3 million. The $140 million family adventure, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Mark Rylance as Roald Dahl’s big, friendly giant, is a rare misfire for Spielberg and Disney.

“Audiences that have an interest in a PG-rated movie went with Dory,” Dergarabedian says.

“It’s a very high-class problem to have, because Disney has had so much great product this year.”

Rounding out the top five, critically maligned sequel Independence Day: Resurgence mustered $20.2 million for a total of $76.4 million in 11 days. Meanwhile, offbeat buddy comedy Swiss Army Man deflated in its nationwide expansion, netting just $1.7 million in 636 theaters ($1.9 million in two weeks).

Final numbers are out Tuesday.

Zika vaccine efforts prove fruitful

By Melissa Healy Associated Press

recommends this method to patients who are healthy, but looking for a little bit of weight loss.

“I just explain that it’s good to let our body fast and burn up the stores that we have, and I kind of explain what I do,” she said. “I make sure I don’t eat from 7 at night to 9 in the morning, and so that’s 14-hour fasting. That’s if someone wants to lose maybe 5 or 10 pounds.”

The second method Diggett suggests is called the 5:2 diet — eat normally for five days of the week and fast for the other two. Those two days can be consecutive or spread throughout the week.

Just five months after the Zika virus was declared a global public health emergency, a scientific team’s feverish efforts to create a vaccine against the viral threat have borne promising fruit: With a single shot of two different types of vaccine, experimental mice gained neartotal immunity to Zika for at least two months.

Writing in the journal Nature on Tuesday, a U.S.-Brazilian team of scientists reported that two distinct vaccine candidates conferred powerful protection from Zika infection when they were delivered by intra-muscular injection to mice.

“We were very surprised — and quite impressed — that a single shot of either of these vaccines provided complete protection,” said study co-author Dr. Dan H. Barouch.

“Of course, we need to be cautious about extrapolating” from a study that has so far only shown success in mice, said Barouch, who directs vaccine research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

But several of the study’s findings “certainly raise optimism that the development of a safe and effective vaccine against Zika virus for humans may be successful,” he added.

The Zika vaccine effort is a race against time. Since its arrival in Brazil in 2013, the Zika virus has marched steadily north. Carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the virus is already spreading vigorously in

concept that was once primarily restricted to religious practices has infiltrated the diet world and is rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. Though research thus far is mostly inconclusive and experts hold conflicting opinions, intermittent fasting — abstaining from all or some kinds of food for a duration — may be beneficial for weight loss.

Full-fat dairy makes a comeback among consumers

By Donnelle Eller Associated Press

Des Moines, Iowa — Once snubbed, wholefat milk, yogurt and other dairy products are finding their way back into our refrigerators, thanks to a growing interest in “whole foods” diets and new evidence that full-fat dairy products can be good for us, experts say.

The trend is showing up in milk sales, both nationally and in Des Moines, industry data show. Whole milk sales in Des Moines climbed 9.6 percent last year

New studies suggest it may not deserve its stigma over 2014; nationally, they climbed 4.5 percent.

At the same time, fat-free milk sales in Des Moines dropped 9.5 percent, and nationally, they shrank 12.3 percent, according to data provided by Dairy Management, a marketing

group for the industry’s 45,000 U.S. dairy farmers.

Chicago analytics company IRI collects the data. Statewide sales information wasn’t available.

“Full-fat dairy products used to be seen as taboo. We were told

we should cut them out of our diet,” said Ruth Litchfield, associate professor of food science and human nutrition at Iowa State University.

But “we’re realizing that fat can be good.”

Litchfield said the federal dietary guidelines still recommend that Americans consume lowor fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese. The concern: Foods that contain saturated fat — such as whole milk, cheese and butter — can raise cholesterol levels that contribute to heart disease.

Fortin said the methods she teaches KU students include eating whole grains, avoiding saturated fats, staying within calorie parameters for their personal goals, and looking at healthy weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week while engaging in regular physical activity.

Dairy

Federal dietary guidelines limit sugar intake to no more than 10 percent of daily calories, a recommendation that means many consumers need to cut their sugar consumption.

Litchfield said consumers still need to keep calories in mind.

“We need to think in context of our total diet,” Litchfield said. “We need to keep our fat intake to 30 to 35 percent of calories. About 10 percent should be the limit for saturated fat.

“Having some full-fat dairy along the way is appropriate, as long as your total intake is moderate,” she said.

But some new studies are challenging that perspective, Litchfield said.

“There is some research that’s coming out that shows consumption of whole-fat dairy is decreasing risk of Type 2 diabetes, decreasing risk of cardiovascular disease, decreasing risk of certain kinds of cancer, and people who consume whole-fat dairy products are less obese,” she said.

Researchers are exploring whether it’s the

Puerto Rico and is expected to circulate inside the continental United States this summer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified Douglas County as particularly at risk.

The CDC has concluded that Zika infection in pregnant women is the cause of grievous brain abnormalities in the infants they bear. For those who are not pregnant, Zika infection is generally not dangerous. But it can, in rare cases, cause Guillain-Barre syndrome, a life-threatening condition in which the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system, causing partial paralysis that is generally temporary.

In the experiments, the mice cleared Zika virus from their bloodstreams even when their army of antibodies was “relatively modest,” said Barouch.

With an additional booster shot or two, he said the vaccines could prompt an immune response a

“dairy itself or their eating pattern as a whole,” Litchfield said.

“People who consume dairy products also tend to have other healthy behaviors,” she said.

“They’re less likely to be smokers, they’re more likely to be active, and they’re more likely to consume whole grains.”

Researchers also are weighing whether milk could trigger a “certain expression of genes” that have health benefits — or whether milk’s “pre- or probiotics” improve “gut health,” which can affect chronic health diseases, Litchfield said.

One thing is clear: Dairy products are good

sources of calcium, vitamin D and potassium — three of the four nutrients federal dietary leaders say Americans are consuming inadequate amounts of and have “real relevant health implications,” Litchfield said. The fourth is fiber.

Kim Peter, marketing director at Anderson Erickson Dairy, sees consumers “embracing fullfat food.”

“Whole milk doesn’t carry the stigma that it did in the ’80s and ’90s,” when consumers were urged to cut fat wherever possible, Peter said.

Peter, Litchfield and others say the growing

popularity of diets that focus on “whole foods” — or foods with little or no processing — is contributing to the sales of higher-fat products.

Litchfield said consumers may see whole milk as less processed. They want “foods that are more natural,” she said.

And consumers understand that manufacturers can replace saturated fat with sugar, both for flavor and as a preservative to improve shelf life.

“Any cardiovascular benefit you got from decreasing your saturated fat, you’re not getting because of sugar,” Litchfield said.

hundred times as strong.

One other factor should prompt optimism that this early success might lead to a timely vaccine, said Barouch: Immunologists have had success in building vaccines against viruses in the same family as Zika, including those that cause yellow fever, dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis.

In a related development reported last week in the journal Nature Communications, scientists concluded that macaque monkeys, which have become a mainstay of nonhuman primate research with the diminishing use of chimpanzees, respond to Zika virus infection in ways that strongly mimic humans’ reactions.

That finding means scientists will have a highly reliable stand-in for testing the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and other new therapies against Zika before they are administered to humans. The ability to use macaques to approximate a human’s response to the two vaccine candidates already tested will be key to speeding the development of such medications.

Butter

unique individuals.

The average butter consumption across the nine studies ranged from one-third of a tablespoon per day to 3.2 tablespoons per day. The study found small or insignificant differences in terms of total mortality, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

In four of the nine studies, people who ate butter daily had a 4 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. But those findings need to be further explored, Mozaffarian cautioned.

“This could be real, or due to other factors linked to eating butter,” Mozaffarian said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“Overall, our results suggest that butter should neither be demonized nor considered ‘back’ as a route to good health,” Mozaffarian said in a statement.

The findings “do not support a need for major emphasis in dietary guidelines on either increasing or decreasing butter consumption,” the researchers wrote.

The researchers analyzed nine eligible studies representing 636,151

Dear Annie: I am a real estate agent in a wealthy part of Southern California. In my part of town, everyone knows everyone, especially in real estate.

My best friend is a designer. She’s relatively new to the real estate world, but she has a great eye for design.

Another friend is a financial adviser. She is a brilliant woman, so I hired her to manage my money, and I’m actually her Realtor.

I sold the money manager a house. I referred designer to money manager. Long story short, money manager and designer had a huge falling out. Money manager claims she fired designer. Designer claims she walked off the job.

Needless to say, they both think they are right.

I really don’t care what happened between

TCM offers Westerns galore in July Turner Classic Movies dedicates every Tuesday and Wednesday in July to Westerns. Keith Carradine hosts this monthlong celebration, featuring more than 100 classic films.

Tonight’s prime time lineup celebrates the collaboration of actor John Wayne and director John Ford in films including “Stagecoach” (7 p.m.) and “The Searchers” (8:45 p.m.)

— arguably the best of their 14 films, and maybe the greatest Western ever made.

The influence of that film on mid-1950s pop and youth culture, and the emerging rock ‘n’ roll scene, cannot be understated. The Liverpool-based British guitar band The Searchers took their name from the film. Buddy Holly and The Crickets turned John Wayne’s catchphrase into a pop hit, “That’ll Be the Day.” It wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest that the 1957 Leiber and Stoller hit “Searchin,”’ popularized by The Coasters, was similarly inspired.

A child of the 1950s, George Lucas (“American Graffiti”) was clearly under the influence of “The Searchers” when he made “Star Wars.” The moment when Luke sees that his home has been destroyed is all but lifted from the Ford movie. “The Searchers” ends with the image of Wayne’s doomed character eclipsed by a closing door, a touch Francis Ford Coppola used at the end of “The Godfather,” casting Kay Corleone into darkness as she is shut out of the family business.

Westerns have come in and out of style over the past century and their influence continues, even in recent and contemporary TV series like “Breaking Bad,” “The Walking Dead” and “Vikings,” dramas that are thinly disguised Westerns, made for a generation that never watched Westerns or learned to play Cowboys and Indians.

O The umpteenth series set in “the bayou,” “Big Easy Motors” (9 p.m., History, TV-PG) follows the “American Pickers” formula. The show features Charles and Trey, colorful gearheads, as they scour the barns and junkyards of Cajun country to discover classic American metal to de-rust, restore and eventually sell at auction.

O Produced by Ricky Schroder (“NYPD Blue”), the six-part documentary “The Fighting Season” (8 p.m., Audience Network, DirecTV) follows U.S. Army soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

Tonight’s other highlights Auditions continue on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O Geneva comes under animal attack on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O A code of silence is maintained on the season finale of “Uncle Buck” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Black, Lakers agreee on deal

One down ...

The NBA might be evolving away from traditional big-man focused lineups, but interior toughness remains valued. For proof, look no further than the Los Angeles Lakers’ desire to re-sign third-year big man Tarik Black.

Late Sunday night, the former Kansas center, who went undrafted in 2014 but worked his way into the league the hard way, agreed to a reported two-year, $12.85 million deal with the Black Lakers.

A 6-foot9, 250-pound center, Black only played 12.7 minutes a game for L.A. in his second season, during which he averaged 3.4 points and 4.0 rebounds and shot 54.8 percent from the floor.

But, as referenced in Yahoo’s report of the deal, Black has played with both toughness and enthusiasm when called upon during his 77 appearances in purple and gold over the past season-plus, making him a desirable, inexpensive role player on the open market.

AL CENTRAL

By Marcus Thompson II

After winning the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, the Golden State Warriors have the kind of talent to become one of the greatest teams of all time. Dare we say “light years” ahead of the competition?

They are already the first to have the last two MVPs together, with Durant having won the award before Stephen Curry took the next two. The Warriors now have four players from the latest All-NBA teams, including Draymond Green and Klay Thompson on the second team.

But in order to maximize their unheralded potential, the Warriors will have to manage their new reality: They will be one of the most hated teams in the NBA. They need to embrace it.

Oh, you thought they were villains last year? Watch the exponential increase in venom thrown their way this year.

Durant jerseys are already ablaze in Oklahoma City.

There is a natural balance to these things in normal circumstances. The more a sports figure is beloved, the more inevitable it is a contingent of haters will arrive. But the Warriors getting Durant is like a millionaire winning the lottery.

The rich getting richer, and that will turn the vitriol up for sure.

So here is the early question about these supercharged Warriors: Can they handle the black hat?

Not that long ago, the Warriors were the epitome of lovable. A bunch of nice-guy underdogs who had obvious fun and played an entertaining style of basketball. Those days were clearly over after they won a championship, followed by their chase for 73 turning them into one of the most hyped teams ever.

CEO Joe Lacob’s comments about the Warriors being “light years” ahead of the NBA gave credence to the anti-Warriors crowd’s bemoans of arrogance. People grew weary of the Warriors and their rampant love. The once-cute, inspirational, playthe-game-the-right-way squad that brought beauty back to basketball officially became antagonists.

That was never more evident when the Warriors choked away a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. It was hard to tell if some were more happy about the Warriors’ demise or impressed by the Cavaliers’ feat.

Now, the Warriors add one of the league’s top players to the mix. They have arguably the two best players in the league not named LeBron James. The Warriors are going to be received with the affection of Darth Vader — after a video leak of him kicking a poodle.

Can you imagine the jeering that will happen when the Warriors and Durant return to Oklahoma City?

The hatred was already epic in Cleveland during the Finals.

Just ask the family members of Warriors players who made the trip. San Antonio will shower the Warriors in fury. Houston fans have even more reason to despise the Warriors, who knocked their Rockets out of the last two postseasons.

But their team needs to embrace it, play well with it. Many teams borrow an us-againstthe-world mentality. The Warriors need to master it.

Certainly, the Dub Nation will grow, and current members are more fervent in their fandom now that Durant has joined their ranks. That love is what they will return home to.

First, they’ll have to go shut up a gazillion haters.

This is their life now.

ROGER FEDERER OF SWITZERLAND CELEBRATES AFTER BEATING STEVE JOHNSON OF THE U.S. IN THEIR MEN’S SINGLES MATCH on day eight of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships Monday in London.

Federer cruises into Wimbledon quarters London — Cruising into the quarterfinals without the loss of a set, Roger Federer is making it look easy as he chases a record eighth Wimbledon title. Serena Williams, meanwhile, is picking up momentum as she goes for a seventh championship at the All England Club.

Federer swept to a 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 win over 29th-ranked American Steve Johnson on Centre Court on Monday, equaling Jimmy Connors’ Open-era record by reaching his 14th quarterfinal at the All England Club.

Looking fresh and sharp after two days off, Federer broke Johnson five times and was in control throughout a match that lasted just over 90 minutes — one of 16 men’s and women’s fourth-round matches on the schedule.

“I didn’t think it was as easy as it maybe looked,” the third-seeded Federer said.

Federer hadn’t played since Friday and was able to rest over the weekend while the tournament cleared up a backlog of matches caused by a rainy first week.

“I would have never thought that I was going to win the first four matches in straight sets, so I’m extremely pleased,” Federer said.

For Williams, the match swung in her favor once the roof was shut over Centre Court, as she reeled off the last nine games to beat No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-0 and reach the quarterfinals for the 12th time.

The No. 1-seeded American slipped during a point while she was getting broken to fall behind 5-4 in the opening set. Both players complained that the grass was slippery, but play continued.

With Kuznetsova serving for the set, Williams broke back to make it 5-all. Play was then delayed for nearly 30 minutes while the retractable roof was closed.

After the match resumed, Kuznetsova did not take a game. Williams won 24 of 29 points in the second set, and finished with a 43-8 advantage in winners.

“It was really tricky out there,” Williams said.

“Even though it wasn’t raining hard, it was dewy on the grass.”

Williams’ next opponent will be No. 21 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, who reached her first quarterfinal at Wimbledon by beating 27th-seeded CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-3.

Serena’s sister, five-time champion Venus, moved into the quarterfinals here for the first time since 2010, beating No. 12 Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (3), 6-4. Playing in her 19th Wimbledon and the oldest women’s player in the draw, the 34-year-old Venus last won the title in 2008. She’ll next face Yaroslava Shvedova.

Federer’s victory was his 306th match win in a Grand Slam and put him into his 48th quarterfinal at a major, three wins away from becoming the first man to win eight Wimbledon titles. He’s tied with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw with seven.

Next up for Federer will be No. 9 Marin Cilic, who advanced when No. 5 Kei Nishikori retired with a rib injury while trailing 6-1, 5-1.

The 6-foot-6 (1.98-meter) Croat beat Federer in the semifinals of the 2009 U.S. Open, which he won for his only Grand Slam title.

“He brushed me off the court like I was nothing at the U.S. Open in the semis a few years back,” Federer said.

Advancing to a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time was Sam Querrey, the man who stopped No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the third round on Saturday. The 28th-seeded American served 23 aces and beat Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4.

Querrey is the first American man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals since Marty Fish in 2011 — and the first to make it that far at any Grand Slam since John Isner and Andy Roddick at the 2011 U.S. Open.

In other men’s play, No. 6 Milos Raonic came back from a two-set deficit to win for the first time in his career, beating No. 11 David Goffin of Belgium 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4; No.

12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France advanced when his countryman, No. 7 Richard Gasquet, retired with an apparent back injury at 4-2 down in the first set; and No. 32 Lucas Pouille of France downed No. 19 Bernard Tomic 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 10-8.

In women’s play, No. 3-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was eliminated by No. 18 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-3, 5-7, 9-7 in a backand-forth baseline battle that lasted three hours.

On her third match point, Cibolkova hit an inside-out forehand winner, then dropped face first onto the grass, her chest heaving.

“I was really crying,” said Cibolkova, who will next play Elena Vesnina and may need to postpone her scheduled wedding on Saturday.

“It was so emotional.”

Australian Open champion and No. 4-seeded Angelique Kerber beat Misaki Doi 6-3, 6-1.

She will next face No. 5 Simona Halep, who beat No. 9 Madison Keys 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Voeckler shakes up dull stage Angers, France — Thomas Voeckler stuck out his tongue in his trademark way, determined to give the thousands of fans lining up the roads something to cheer about on a rather dull stage at the Tour de France.

After two days of racing marred by several crashes in difficult weather conditions, the peloton took it easy and rode at pedestrian pace during Monday’s long and flat 223.5-kilometer stretch between Granville and Angers in the Loire valley.

The race did not really get going until Voeckler joined another French rider, Armindo Fonseca, in a long breakaway.

“Fortunately Voeckler made the stage explode,” said Julian Alaphilippe, who is second overall, eight seconds behind race leader Peter Sagan.

Fonseca broke away from the pack right after the start and rode for 140 kilometers on his own before Voeckler made his move and joined his fellow countryman with 83 kilometers to go.

Voeckler’s attack sparked a reaction from the pack, ensuring a nervous and spectacular finale as sprinters’ teams started to close the gap. It also earned him the day’s prize for the most combative rider.

OLYMPIC TRIALS

Berian flips over Rio berth Eugene, Ore. — Boris Berian completed his journey from a burger flipper to Olympian, finishing second in the men’s 800-meter final at track trials Monday to book his trip to Brazil.

Alysia Montano had no such luck. The runner who was cheated out of a medal by dopers at the last Olympics got tripped up on the second lap of the women’s 800 final and did not finish.

Kate Grace, Ajee Wilson and Chrishuna Williams made the 800 team for the women; Clayton Murphy and Charles Jock join Berian on the men’s side.

Sam Kendricks won the pole vault to make his first Olympics, four years after coming to trials, but getting bumped off the start list at the last minute by higher qualifiers.

NBA

Knicks, Jennings OK deal New York — A person with knowledge of the details says that Brandon Jennings has agreed to a deal with the New York Knicks.

Jennings will finally join the Knicks after they passed on him in the 2009 NBA draft, the person told The Associated Press on Monday, confirming reports of the point guard’s oneyear, $5 million deal.

Toronto nearly doubled its lead in the fourth but Alex Gordon threw out Edwin Encarnacion trying to score from second on Kevin Pillar’s twoout single to left.

“When (Gordon) first got that ball I thought he’s got no shot at throwing (Encarnacion) out,” Yost said. “All of a sudden, boom, here we go.

He came up firing. It was a fantastic throw.”

Kansas City tied it when Kendrys Morales homered off Sanchez to begin the seventh, his 15th. Morales has hit five home runs in his past five games.

Toronto (ap) — Aaron Sanchez wasn’t feeling too good for his start against Kansas City. It was hard to tell from the way he pitched.

Sanchez overcame flu-like symptoms to work eight innings and win his eighth straight decision, Josh Donaldson and Darwin Barney each hit two-run singles in a four-run seventh, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals, 6-2, on Monday night.

Troy Tulowitzki had two hits, his third multihit game in the past four, as the Blue Jays won a rematch of last year’s ALCS, which Kansas City won in six games.

Sanchez (9-1) has not lost since April 22, against Oakland. He allowed one run and three hits and matched the longest start of his career.

“It’s just starting to come together for him,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “I think he’s going to get even better and better.”

Sanchez also gave up one run in eight innings at Colorado in his previous start.

“He threw the ball extremely well,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“Good downhill action on a 95-mile-per-hour fastball, good curveball. He just threw a great game.”

Sanchez retired the first seven batters he faced and held the Royals hitless until Cheslor Cuthbert’s two-out single to center in the fifth. The next hitter, Alcides Escobar, grounded out.

“That’s the name of the game, trying to get these guys back into the dugout as fast as I can,” Sanchez said. “When you can do that you kind of keep a flow of things.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Bryant hits 24th homer The Associated Press

National League Cubs 10, Reds 4 Chicago — Kris Bryant hit his 24th home run before leaving with a bruised leg, Willson Contreras and Addison Russell also went deep, and Chicago pounded Cincinnati on Monday.

Playing the NL Central’s last-place team was just what the major league-leading Cubs needed after getting outscored 32-11 in a fourgame sweep by the Mets in New York.

The Reds, meanwhile, continued their slide.

They fired pitching coach Mark Riggins in an effort to shake up a staff with the majors’ worst ERA, then lost for the 11th time in 13 games.

Bryant hit a two-run drive in the second inning and scored three times before exiting with a bruised lower left leg in the fifth. He was hurt making a catch in left field in the top half when center fielder Albert Almora Jr. ran into him.

Matt Szczur batted for Bryant in the bottom half.

Contreras capped a three-run second with a solo drive off Cody Reed (0-3) that made it 6-0.

Russell drove in three runs and scored two.
