Each week, this series will introduce you to an
exceptional American who unites, rather than
divides, our communities. To read more about

What does it mean to you to be
an American?
I love America. America to me means ... when
Miss Liberty said bring me your tired, bring
me your this, bring me your that. Thats the
America I know. I realize that were different.
And that people see America different. But
you know what? Id rather live in America
than live in some Third World country,
because you dont have the freedom to vote.
You dont have the freedom to do this, to do
that. And here in America, we have that. We
sometimes take it for granted. But we have
that right, under the Constitution, to voice
that opinion, whether its verbally, on paper,
protesting. Thats America.
What moment touched and
motivated you to launch this effort?
I got tired of minority kids getting pulled
over by cops. Or if you get pulled over and you
dont do what they say or you say the wrong
thing, you might get beat up to death. Or
you might get shot. That doesnt happen in
Corpus Christi. That happens in other places.
But I got tired of seeing that throughout the
United States. I just said we need to come to-
gether as one.

Georgia Democrat one
of partys rising stars
Her goal? Be 1st black
female governor
Heidi M. Przybyla
USA TODAY
Stacey Abrams, the top Demo-
crat in Georgias General Assem-
bly, is among her partys rising
stars vying for a U.S. governors
mansion next year as she tests
whether progressives can help re-
build the national party by taking
control of statehouses.
Abrams, a 43-year-old former
romance novelist, is also aiming
to make history when she an-
nounces her candidacy in south-
west Georgia on Saturday. She
would be the nations rst Afri-
can-American female governor
and Georgias rst black execu-
tive. Nationwide, there are six
female governors; two of them
are Democrats.
That Abrams could stand a
chance in a formerly solid red
state is among the signs of a shift-
ing political landscape after the
2016 election.
In an important ex of sup-

And while Russias trade with
North Korea appears to be rising,
at $130 million annually it is still
tiny compared to Chinas $6.6 bil-

Even so, Russia could cause
mischief in North Korea for the

said. Yes, it is plausible that Rus-

vigil Sunday to commemorate

on protesters in Beijings Tianan-

president called on Beijing to
face up to the history.
Hundreds if not thousands of
unarmed protesters and onlook-

after Chinas communist leaders

and other civil rights unseen on
the mainland.
The annual evening vigil in
Hong Kong is the only large-scale
commemoration on Chinese ter-
ritory of the Tiananmen blood-
shed. About 110,000 people
attended on Sunday, according to
organizers, while police estimat-
ed the turnout at 18,000. Last

WASHINGTON It would be un-

thinkable, said Sen. Mark War-
ner, if President Trump pressured
former FBI director James Co-
mey to back off an investigation of
his former national security ad-
viser, Gen. Michael Flynn.
The top Democrat on the Sen-
ate Intelligence Committee made
the comments in an interview
with CBSFace the Nation in ad-
vance of Comeys highly antici-
pated Thursday testimony before
the committee.
Last month, The New York
Times reported that Comey
wrote a February memo alleging
Trump asked him to shut down
the FBI investigation into Flynns
ties to Russia. The paper also
reported that Trump asked Co-
mey to pledge loyalty to the presi-
dent, something Comey refused
to do.

hearing on Capitol Hill is for
Comey to clarify exactly what was
said in his conversations with
Trump, said Warner. Jim Comey
deserves to have his, in effect, day
in court since the presidents dis-
paraged him so much, he said.
In a separate interview on the
same show, Maine Sen. Susan
Collins, a Republican on the In-
telligence Committee, said she
also wants to understand the
tone, the exact words that were
spoken because the context is
so important. She also reiterat-
ed her belief that the committee
needs more resources to do a ro-
bust investigation.
This is extraordinarily com-
plex and we have a wonderful
staff, she said, but I think we
would benet from having an ex-
perienced investigator to over-
see the probe, she said.
Congress on June 30.
Gowdy represents an attempt
at compromise. The upstart con-
servative Freedom Caucus want-
ed one of their own for the job,
but the group has been a thorn in
the side of party leadership and
nearly killed Speaker Paul Ryans
Affordable Care Act repeal bill.
Gowdy is closely aligned with
Republican leadership, but he has
also earned the respect of mem-
bers of the GOPs far right. Arizo-
na Rep. Paul Gosar, a Freedom
Caucus member, said Gowdy is
tried, tested and exactly what the
committee needs at this time.
This isnt the rst time Gowdy
has been put up for a position he
didnt seek. Gowdy chaired the
special committee to investigate
the terrorist attack in Benghazi in
2012 and recently was named a
top Republican in the House In-
telligence Committees probe into
Russian meddling in the 2016
election.
In addition to Oversight and
Intelligence, Gowdy sits on the
what the commit-
tee needs at this
time.
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and a Freedom
Caucus member

him on the House committees in-
vestigating Russian meddling in
the presidential election. His
name recently was on the short
list to replace former FBI Direc-
tor James Comey, whose ring
last month is already a key ele-
ment of the probe.
Despite Gowdys credentials,
some conservative members of
the committee are frustrated
with what they feel has been an
unfair selection process, even if
they think Gowdy will do a good
job.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is
more senior on the committee
than Gowdy is and had previously
signaled his interest in the chair-
manship. Jordan is a co-founder
belong to the group. But ques-
tions were raised about whether
Ryan, R-Wis., would allow a
amethrower to get such a pow-
erful position and Jordan ulti-
mately said he wasnt going to
run.
Darin Miller, a spokesman for
Jordan, told USA TODAY that de-
spite Jordans qualications the
steering committee isnt going to
pick someone like Rep. Jordan
who has demonstrated his will-
ingness to stand up to leaders in
both political parties.
I think that Jim is an emi-
nently qualied guy, said Rep.
Mark Sanford, R-S.C., who is also
on the Oversight Committee and
a member of the Freedom Cau-
cus. But (Jordans) analysis was
this is a closed case, this is al-
ready decided and I dont want to
get in a race that I have no shot of
winning.
Sanford had also been interest-
ed in the post. After Jordan de-
clined to run, Sanford also
concluded it was a lost cause.

The leaders in Arizona will of-

14 poisoned by death cap mushrooms
Sean Rossman

Lethal mushrooms picked in
the California wilderness poi-
soned 14 people late last year,
with three, including an 18-
month-old girl, requiring liver
transplants.
The 11 other patients recov-
ered and the cases were report-
ed to the California Poison
Control System over a two-
week period in December. The
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) an-
nounced the incidents Friday,
when the poisonings were in-
cluded in the Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report.
The Amanita phalloides
mushroom, known as the
death cap, is a fungus respon-
sible for more than 90% of the
worlds mushroom-related
deaths. It poses serious public
health concerns, said the CDC,
which also urged freestyle for-
agers to have an expert inspect
their harvest before eating.
The death cap contains a tox-
ic agent and just one mush-
room can carry a fatal dosage.
In many of the incidents in
California, patients reported
eating multiple mushrooms.
In 2016, the state noticed an
uptick in wild mushroom poi-

SHISHMAREF, ALASKA Annie
Weyiouanna remembers her home

washing away the ne sand that
makes up Sarichef Island, and this
Iupiaq village of 650 now faces a
stark choice: Move or drown.
You are taking away our iden-

who we are we are tied to this

Regardless of debates about cli-

the island is shrinking. Satellite
images taken over the past 20
years show how far the shoreline
has receded, drawing ever closer to
the small homes huddled on what
is little more than a large sandbar.
Federal officials estimate the is-
land loses somewhere between 9
and 22 feet of shoreline every year,
although a massive seawall built
from rocks barged in from the
mainland has slowed the process.
Still, that rock wall protects
only the hardest-hit areas from
erosion, and the wind carries
away sand year-round from the
islands highest point, about
20 feet above sea level.

The effort to move has been un-

years. Residents have voted multi-
ple times to relocate to the main-

sador from Shishmaref attended
the 2015 Paris climate talks.
Still, not much has changed de-

And the clock is ticking.
Shishmaref native Esau Sinnok
has already seen the island lose at
least 100 feet of coastline in his

maref is just one of more than
180 coastal towns in Alaska facing
such problems, although federal
officials say its one of the most
precariously situated.
Beyond cost, a move raises
more personal questions. Com-

to a specic location, where fa-

grandmothers take kids shing for

OPINION
TODAYS DEBATE INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE
Our view
Learn from, dont bash,
Germanys industrial policy
France, it would seem, is no
longer the chief villain among
Americas so-called European al-
lies. That honor now goes to Ger-
many.
At least that is the message
President Trump sent last week
by blasting Germany for its pe-
rennial trade surpluses and its re-
luctance to spend more on
defense, prompting German
Chancellor Angela Merkel to de-
clare that Europe can no longer
rely on others and really must
take our fate into our own hands.
Picking a needless ght with a
key European partner has serious
downsides. German intelligence
is important in ghting terror.
German support is vital in con-
taining Russia, a key objective of
the now-weakened NATO alli-
ance. And European-wide back-
ing for the United States could
play a key role in the Middle East
and the Korean peninsula.
While Trump does have a point
that Germany underspends on
defense and consistently main-
tains a trade surplus with the
United States ($65 billion last
year), his griping followed by
his wrong-headed decision to pull
out of the Paris climate change
accord accomplishes little.
This is particularly true in the
economic arena, where Germany
is one of the few advanced na-
tions that has maintained much
of its manufacturing base. In fact,
a strong case can be made that
James Bovard
P
erhaps the most contro-
versial element of the
Trump administrations
budget is the proposal to
reduce Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (food stamp)
spending by 25%, or $193 billion,
over the next decade. Forty-four
million people receive food
stamps, more than twice as many
as at the end of the Clinton ad-
ministration. Spending for food
stamps almost quadrupled in the
same period, reaching $70 billion
last year.
Food stamp enrollment sky-
rocketed during Barack Obamas
presidency because the admini-
stration believed that maximizing
handouts would maximize pros-
perity. Every $5 in new (food
stamp) benets generates as
much as $9 of economic activity,
stated a White House report.
So the feds bankrolled food
stamp recruiting campaigns. A
North Carolina social services
agency won a Hunger Champi-
ons Award for attacking moun-
tain pride as a reason to avoid
government handouts. In Ala-
bama, taking food stamps was
marketed as patriotic. And the
administration effectively sus-
pended the three-month limit for
able-bodied adults without de-
pendents to collect food stamps.
From 2008 to 2010, the num-
ber of able-bodied recipients dou-
bled, according to the
Congressional Research Service.
The Food Stamp Poster Boy of
2013 was Jason Greenslate, a 29-
year-old surfer who declared that
he avoids work and uses his
monthly food stamp allotment to
purchase as much sushi and lob-
ster as $200 can buy. Then its off
to the beach. Greenslate touted
his gourmet purchases all paid
for by our wonderful tax dollars ...
Its free food. Its awesome.
TO EAT, GET A JOB
Trump budget director Mick
Mulvaney declared last month:
If you are on food stamps and
you are able bodied, we need you
to go to work. The Trump ad-
ministration proposes phasing in
work requirements for able-bod-
ied adults without dependents.
This is a good rst step for a
program that swayed too many
Americans to work less. Studies
have shown that single mothers,
married fathers and families
across the board work less when
they are on food stamps.
The Trump administration
also proposes requiring state gov-
ernments to begin covering a
share of the costs of food stamps,
in addition to the share of admin-
istrative costs they already pay.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Trump.
the United States should learn
from Germany, not complain
about it. Germanys success has
two key components:
uA tax code that encourages
savings and investment, in con-
trast to a United States code that
encourages borrowing and con-
sumption. Germanys corporate
income tax, for instance is just
15%, compared to the 35% in the
United States. To make up for the
lost revenue of a low corporate
tax, Germany has a national con-
sumption tax that runs as high as
19% on some consumer items.
Trump has endorsed slashing the
U.S. corporate tax rate but hasnt
come up with a credible way to
pay for it.
uA national commitment to
manufacturing. This includes
massive public support for job
FOOD AID
CUTS HELP
THE POOR
Food stamps subsidize bad nutrition and
encourage people not to work. Thats a waste.
People wait in line for food in Brooklyn on Feb. 18.
Currently, state governments
have little or no incentive to po-
lice the program because losses
from fraud or waste dont come
out of state budgets. Unfortu-
nately, such an idea is likely dead
on Capitol Hill.
The most important reason to
curtail food stamp enrollment is
because the program is a dietary
disaster. Walter Willett, chair of
Harvard Universitys Department
of Nutrition, observed in 2015,
Weve analyzed what (food
stamp) participants are eating
and its horrible food. Its a diet
designed to produce obesity and
diabetes.
A 2017 study published in
BMC Public Health found that
food stamp recipients were twice
as likely to be obese as eligible
non-recipients, conrming a gov-
ernment study from 2015.
It is easy to understand why. A
2016 Department of Agriculture
report revealed that soft drinks
and other sweetened beverages
are the most common purchase
in food stamp households, ac-
counting for almost 10% of
monthly expenditures. Desserts,
salty snacks, candy and sugar ac-
count for another 10%.
The Trump reform proposal
ignores the easiest way to save
more than $100 billion: prohibit
using food stamps for junk food.
Food stamps should be remod-
eled along the lines of the Women

training and retraining, and pen-
alties on companies for laying off
workers. The German unemploy-
ment system is less generous to
those who dont have a job while
giving more incentive for those
willing and able to work. For ex-
ample, unemployed workers who
take a job that doesnt pay very
well can continue to receive part
of their jobless benets.
As the result of its access to
capital and the many incentives it
has to keep jobs at home, manu-
facturing makes up a quarter of
the German economy. It is just
12% in the United States.
If Trump wants to keep his
promises to Rust Belt voters who
helped put him in office, hed be
better off studying Germanys

Although his words are
blunter, President Trumps re-
cent attacks on Germanys
trade policies have been made
frequently by the global politi-
cal and economic establish-
ment and by his predecessor
Barack Obama. If anything,
Trump should internationalize
his critique and rally global
support against Berlins long-
standing determination to rack
up trade surpluses.
Americans have valid trade
beefs against Germany. Its the
third largest national contrib-
utor to Americas trade decits.
And the shortfall is heavily
concentrated in advanced
manufacturing historically
leaders in productivity and
innovation.
Further, the automotive sec-

but widely hailed as proof of
win-win U.S.-German com-
merce is no exception. For all
the vehicles German rms
make domestically and Ameri-
cans they employ, Transporta-

made parts.
Hillary Clinton:

SENECA FALLS, N.Y.
Theres a familiar face at the start
of the Ludovico Sculpture Trail in
this town famous for its place in
the history of womens rights.
Theres no inscription and no
mystery. Its Hillary Clinton.
The bust was placed on the
trail in 2013, when Clinton had
already accomplished more than
most people do in three lifetimes.
Even then, everyone knew she
would run for president, and un-
til late on election night, most
would have predicted any plaque
would start with the words First
woman president.
That is not happening, and its
time for closure.
It is easy to feel warm about
Hillary Clinton when youre eat-
ing at places like Caf XIX (get
it?) and stopping to grab a sele
with statues of Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
But the real Clinton makes
sure the warmth doesnt last.
While I wandered around Seneca
Falls, Clinton was driving a dou-
ble-decker bus over her party.
She had previously blamed her
defeat on James Comey, Russia,
fake news, WikiLeaks and media
focus on her shockingly sloppy
email arrangements. The latest
scapegoat is the Democratic Na-
tional Committee. When she won
the Democratic nomination, she
told Kara Swisher and Walt
Mossberg last week at a Recode
conference, It was on the verge
of insolvency, its data was medio-
cre to poor, nonexistent, wrong.
Not surprisingly, this did not
go down well with Andrew Ther-
riault, the DNCs former director
of data science. And so another
feud began, another backip into

Yet Berlins trade policy also
endangers all countries. Ger-
manys international surpluses
are now the worlds biggest.
Major economists, and institu-
tions such as the International
Monetary Fund, assign such
lopsided economic ows much
blame for inating credit
bubbles.
Berlin and its defenders note
that Germany makes many
outstanding products and cant
unilaterally set the value of a
euro currency that keeps their
prices irresistibly low. But emi-
nently controllable are the
wide-ranging non-tariff barri-
ers and miserly government
spending policies that impede
Germanys imports, and that no
true global free trade mainstay
would maintain.
Trumps critics warn that de-
crying Berlins skimpy NATO
defense contributions and Ger-
many First trade policies will
threaten a core U.S. alliance re-
lationship and the global econ-
omy. But neither system can
long survive German free-rid-
ing, and a broader U.S. econom-
ic indictment will resonate
powerfully around the world.

the poisonous waters of 2016.
There is blame and blame and
blame, from Obama to Clinton,
from Comey to Russia, and many
more. But why would Clinton
choose to relitigate all of this, and
now of all moments? We cant
miss her if she refuses to be gone.
Now would be the time, after a
terrible loss, that most people
would retreat from the public
stage to regroup and emerge later
with a meaningful way forward.
The best role model for this is
former vice president Al Gore.
But that has never been Clin-
tons style. Instead shes out there
talking about why she lost, about
the book shes writing about why
she lost, about her new organiza-
tion called Onward Together. Im
sorry, but that sounds like a slog.
Make America Great Again is fal-
lacious and supercial, but at
least it doesnt sound like a march
through quicksand to an unspeci-
ed destination.
Whether you love Clinton or
really cant stand her, I highly
recommend a visit to her bust on
the Seneca Falls sculpture trail.
Its an experience akin to recen-
tering a map on your smart-
phone. The fraught present
recedes, perspective snaps in, and
Clinton takes her place in the tab-
leau of history.
Her last chapter may not yet be
written, but any plaque on that
bust would be crowded even now:
First lady, U.S. senator, U.S. secre-
tary of State, rst female presi-
dential nominee of a major
political party.
That is more than enough to
put her in the pantheon with An-
thony, Stanton and the rest.

LONDON TERROR AFTERMATH
BRITISH PM: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
As London mourns
third attack in 3
months, 12 arrested
Jane Onyanga-Omara
and John Bacon
USA TODAY
LONDON Authorities arrested 12
people and led exhaustive search-
es across an East London neigh-
borhood Sunday after a weekend
rampage that left seven dead,
dozens injured and once again
brought chaos and fear to the
streets of Americas closest Euro-
pean ally.
Three suspected terrorists also
were killed in Saturday nights at-
tack, and 21 of the 48 injured re-
mained in critical condition late
Sunday. The attack at iconic Lon-
don Bridge and a nearby market
was the third terrorist strike in
Britain in less than three months.
The Islamic State claimed re-
sponsibility for Saturdays at-
tacks, the SITE intelligence group
said Sunday. Eyewitnesses said
they heard the men shout this is
for Allah, British media
reported.
It is time to say enough is
enough, Prime Minister Theresa
May said Sunday. She called for
tougher measures to contain Is-
lamist extremism, saying the re-
cent attacks are not directly
linked, but terrorism breeds ter-
rorism.
They are bound together by
the single evil ideology of Islamist
extremism that preaches hatred,
sows division and promotes sec-
tarianism, she said. It is an ide-
ology that claims our Western
values and freedom, democracy
and human rights are incompati-
ble with the religion of Islam.

In the United States, New York
Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday
that his city was on high alert, with
critical response units in particu-
larly prominent locations.
The Islamic State, also known
as ISIS, claimed responsibility for
Saturday nights attack in London
that left seven people dead and
wounded dozens. ISIS also
claimed responsibility for the
previous two British attacks.
British Prime Minister The-
resa May said while the recent at-
tacks were not directly linked,
terrorism breeds terrorism.
We cant say theres an uptick
in focus on England, because
what were looking at now is a mi-
cro trend, said Michael Pregent,
an adjunct fellow at the Hudson
Institute in Washington. These
were three different attacks.
Saturday nights attack began
when a van plowed into pedestri-
ans on London Bridge then
stopped in Borough Market,
where three men got out and
stabbed people. The three attack-
ers were shot dead by police. On
May 22, a suicide bomber at the
Ariana Grande concert in Man-

and injured 59. The bomber was

A police officer armed only
with a baton along with a chef
wielding a bread basket were
among heroes emerging Sunday
after a London terror attack that
killed seven people and wounded
nearly 50 others.
A British Transport Police offi-
cer was in a stable condition after

Police forensic officers work on road inbetween Borough Market and London Bridge in London
on Sunday as police continue their investigations following the terror attack.
May also called for interna-
tional agreements to regulate cy-
berspace and deny terrorism the
safe space it needs to breed.
Twitter and Google were among
major tech rms issuing state-
ments saying they were working
to deny terrorists an online voice.
Police said a van plowed into
pedestrians on London Bridge,
then drove to nearby Borough
Market, where the attackers went
on a stabbing spree. Armed offi-
cers confronted three suspects,
who police said were wearing
hoax suicide vests, at the mar-
ket.
Mark Rowley, head of counter-
terrorism for Metropolitan Po-
lice, said eight officers ring
about 50 shots killed all three at-
tackers. One member of the pub-

at Borough Market in London.
52, rammed his car into pedestri-
ans on Westminster Bridge, kill-
ing ve people, and he then
fatally stabbed a policeman out-
side Parliament. Masood was
shot dead by police. The Islamic
State claimed Masood as a sol-
dier, though police later said he
had no links al-Qaeda, ISIS or
any other extremist group.
The attacks each show a differ-
ent level of sophistication, Pre-
gent said. Masood used a
low-tech knife, while Abadi used
a well-made bomb in a vest and
had recently returned from Lib-
ya, where his relatives have ties to
the Islamic State, according to
the face of danger as the attack
unfolded Saturday night, Chief
Constable Paul Crowther said.
Crowther said the officer,
whose identity was not made
public, was stabbed in the face,
head and leg when confronting
the three knife-wielding attackers
near the London Bridge train sta-
tion. Other officers with guns ar-
rived a short time later and fatally
shot the assailants, who wore
what appeared to be bomb-laden
vests that turned out to be fake.
I am humbled by the bravery
of an officer who will rush toward
a potential suicide bomber think-
ing only of protecting others,
Metropolitan Police Assistant
Commissioner Mark Rowley said.
lic suffered a gunshot wound, but
the injury was not believed to be
critical, he said.
The situation these officers
were confronted with was criti-
cal, a matter of life and death,
Rowley said. Three armed men,
wearing what appeared to be
suicide belts, had already at-
tacked and killed members of the
public and had to be stopped
immediately.
Rowley lauded the courage of
officers who ran toward the at-
tack as it unfolded. I am hum-
bled by the bravery of an officer
who will rush toward a potential
suicide bomber thinking only of
protecting others, he said.
Counterterrorism police units

investigators.
The London Bridge attack in-
volved three individuals who
agreed to kill and be killed, all
three wearing (fake) suicide
vests, Pregent said. That would
indicate more of a cell.
The differences among the at-
tacks indicates they probably are
not directly related, Pregent said.
Mia Bloom, a professor of com-
munications and Middle East
studies at Georgia State Univer-
sity, said terrorist groups have
been wanting to get Muslims off
the fence in European countries,
including Britain, which they
contend have an anti-Muslim bi-
Crowther said the officer, on
the force just two years, faced the
attackers only with his baton.
The bravery he showed was
outstanding and makes me ex-
tremely proud, Crowther said.
Crowther said the officer will
be touched when he sees the
vast messages of support from
across the United Kingdom and
around the world.
Our thoughts are with all of
those who died or were injured,
and their loved ones as they try to
come to terms with what hap-
pened, Crowther added.
A Romanian chef also was lau-

ty of Barking, and more homes in
the area were being searched,
Rowley said. A possible connec-
tion to the attack was not re-
vealed. Rowley said investigators
were working to learn more
about the attackers, their connec-
tions and whether they were
helped by others not at the scene.
We will work relentlessly to
establish the facts, he said.
Some of the 48 wounded had
life-threatening injuries, and 36
remained hospitalized late Sun-
day, police said. Among them was
a British Transport Police officer
in stable condition after showing
enormous courage in the face of
danger, as did many others who
were at the scene and rushed to
help, Chief Constable Paul
Crowther said. An off-duty Lon-
as. And that push has intensied
since last months attack at the
concert, Bloom said.
In ISIS chat rooms there has
been a strong push to attack,
Bloom said. Ever since Man-
chester, there have been memes
about attacking in London. They
actually had instructions about
ramming with trucks.
Bloom said the recent online
messages have been in line with
the teachings of American-Yeme-
ni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who
taught English-speaking follow-
ers that if they could not join the
war in the Middle East they
should act locally. Awlaki was
killed in Yemen in 2011.
As U.S.-led forces continue to
take ISIS territory in Iraq and
Syria, the militants need to pro-
ject a sense of still being in con-
trol, Bloom said.
Andrew Parker, head of the
British domestic intelligence
agency MI5, warned in 2015 that
several factors were contributing
to an unprecedented level of
threat to British citizens from
ISIS, largely from Syrias ongoing
civil war.
Britain has a large well of
23,000 radicalized Muslims, in-
telligence officials told the British
Sunday Times.
It isnt surprising that ISIS
has claimed responsibility or
that attacks are happening in
Britain, said Thomas Joscelyn, a
terrorism analyst at the Founda-
tion for Defense of Democracies,
a think tank in Washington.
Theyve been putting effort into
this for the better part of three
years. We dont know the precise
reason were seeing successful

Florin Morariu told the Associ-

then realized, Oh, my God, it is a

He said he came upon the at-
tackers and hit one of them in

British TV. Morariu became a

London Bridge, was there when
the attack unfolded. He and oth-
ers at the restaurant helped some
of the wounded.
It was horric, he said. It
could have happened to me, too.
Im traumatized.
President Trump tweeted soli-
darity with Britain, saying: WE

Trump also took shots at political
correctness and gun control.
We must stop being politically
correct and get down to the busi-
ness of security for our people. If
we dont get smart it will only get
worse, Trump tweeted.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan
said he was appalled and furious
that these twisted and cowardly
terrorists deliberately targeted
innocent Londoners and tour-
ists. He urged all Londoners to
remain calm and vigilant today
and over the days ahead.
The secretary general of the
Muslim Council of Britain, Harun
Khan, also condemned the attack.
Muslims everywhere are out-
raged and disgusted at these cow-
ards who once again have
destroyed the lives of our fellow
Britons, he said. That this
should happen in this month of
Ramadan, when many Muslims
were praying and fasting, only
goes to show that these people re-
spect neither life nor faith.

WASHINGTON President Trump
responded to the terror attacks in
London by taking aim at Lon-
dons mayor, political correctness
and gun control.
In a series of early morning
tweets, the president derided and
misrepresented Mayor Sadiq
Khans attempt to calm London-
ers after the third terror attack in
Britain in less than three months.
At least 7 dead and 48 wound-
ed in terror attack and Mayor of
London says there is no reason
to be alarmed! said Trump.
In responding to the attacks,
Khan told Londoners theres no
reason to be alarmed by an in-
creased police presence over the
coming days while vowing of the
terrorists that we will never let
them win.
We must stop being politically
correct and get down to the busi-
ness of security for our people. If
we dont get smart it will only get
worse, Trump said on Twitter.
On Saturday night, police said
seven people died and at least 48
were injured after a van plowed
into pedestrians on London
Bridge and assailants went on a
stabbing rampage at nearby Bor-
ough Market.
In a nal tweet, Trump also
seemed to blast the gun control
debate in the United States. Do
you notice we are not having a
gun debate right now? Thats be-
cause they used knives and a
truck! said Trump.
Britain has stricter gun laws
than in the U.S. and prohibits
semi-automatic ries. In 2011, the
U.K. had 0.07 gun homicides for
every 100,000 people; the U.S., by
contrast, had 3 gun homicides for
every 100,000.
Trumps criticism of the mayor
drew re from Republicans in the
U.S., including Doug Heye, a
strategist and former top aide to
House Republican leadership.
I cant imagine Theresa May
tweeting like this to the mayor of
Orlando or San Bernadino, said
Heye.

employers came up with the
schedule without their input.
Last-minute schedules that
dont take employees needs into
account can be a particular chal-
lenge in the gig economy, as
more workers balance a work life
that may include working for a
restaurant, selling in a store and
driving for ride-hailing services
such as Uber or Lyft. From 2005
to 2015, 94% of the jobs created
in the USA were on-call, freelance
or contractual, according to a
Princeton study. Labor activists
and others say it can be difficult
to plan hours at one job when you
dont know when you will have to
show up at another.
John Waldmann, founder and
CEO of Homebase, a rm that
helps primarily small businesses
move work scheduling online, has
software that enables employees
to trade shifts via a laptop or mo-
bile app.
A lot of these automatic
scheduling tools lean most to
what the needs of the business
are, Waldmann says. We want
to make tools that are great for
businesses but make it easy to ac-
commodate the needs of their
employees as well. ... Everybody
in (our) company has worked
hourly jobs. Everybody has
friends and family whove worked
in a local business, so we under-
stand what it feels like on both
sides of the equation.
In 2015, Gap, whose brands in-
clude Gap, Banana Republic and
Old Navy, got rid of on-call shifts
after an inquiry into on-call prac-
tices by New York Attorney Gen-
eral Eric Schneiderman.
Schneiderman said at the time
that Abercrombie and Fitch and
Victorias Secret also decided to
end such shifts.
Other store chains pilot more
employee-friendly uses of sched-
uling software. Container Store
employees in the Houston area
take part in a pilot in which they
are able to swap hours and say

through the Kronos mobile app

the app to ask for time off and see
their schedules and time cards.
We know that shift swaps are

ten up, Alexa. Siri may soon have
a say in the future of smart
speakers.
Amazons sleeper hit Echo and
its challenger Google Home have
claimed spots on countertops and
nightstands across the USA. More
and more people cant stop talk-
ing to these voice-activated, arti-
cially intelligent devices. And
that poses a competitive threat to
Apple. Without a speaker device
of its own, the iPhone maker
could see its relationship with
loyal users begin to fray.
Apple is expected to unveil a
Siri-controlled speaker, and it
could take the wraps off as soon
as Monday when the company
kicks off its Worldwide Develop-
ers Conference in San Jose.
Even though its late to the
smart-speaker craze, Apples be-
loved brand and considerable fan
base could help it grab a sizable
chunk of the growing market,
analysts say.
Just ask consumers like Mike
Julianelle, whos already ready to
trade in his Amazon Echo for
one.
The 40-year-old blogger from
Brooklyn says he got the Echo as
a gift from his wife a year ago and
uses it to check the weather or to
ask random questions. On week-
end mornings, he plays the Beat-
les or the Hamilton soundtrack
for his 6-year-old.
But Julianelle says his is an Ap-
ple family with a big collection of
iPhones, iPads and iPods. Most of
his music library is on iTunes.
The Echo and Google Home
mostly dont support services
from Apple, and thats frustrating,
he says.
STUART BAYER
NRF said, We are a rm believer
that businesses should be making
decisions that are best for their
customers and employees so that
they can continue to remain via-
ble in a highly competitive indus-
try. A one-size-ts-all,
government-mandated solution
ignores the realities of what it
takes to run a business and adds
to the growing number of laws
and regulations that drive up con-
sumer costs and contribute to the
loss of jobs in communities the
retailer serves.

thans Famous, Macys and Target
is glad to see New York Citys new
law. A member of the Retail Ac-
tion Project, a group focused on
improving the rights of workers,
Oxley says she has seen friends
quit inexible jobs because they
couldnt arrange child care. She
has struggled to budget amid uc-
tuating hours.
You never really know what
your schedule might look like ...
so you never know what your -

she says. As soon as you get paid,
you want to stretch that out as
much as you can.

The stakes are high for Apple.

produced a string of quarterly
sales drops as consumers held off
buying new iPhones in huge mar-
kets like China. Its Apple services,
powered by subscription pay-

More than 60% of Ameri-

cording to the NPWF, and
those that do are guaranteed 12

Bills on both sides of the
aisle have been introduced to
address the need for paid leave.

2014, was reintroduced by Sen.
Deb Fischer, R-Neb., in Febru-

creasingly adapting their vehicles
date for a more connected world.
drivers Avis Car Rental announced
that it will double its eet of fully
and connected cars by early 2018,
their tech bringing the total number of such
vehicles to 100,000.
Enterprise, which owns Na-
tional Car Rental and Alamo Rent
a Car, introduced LaunchPad.
Rather than having to go to a
counter, the customer is greeted
by an employee with a tablet who
has the reservation on le. The
employee can immediately take
the customer to the car. A receipt
is emailed to the customer upon
return of the vehicle.
Hertz gives its customers more
control over the cars they rent by
rolling out a service called Ulti-
mate Choice. The program, avail-
able at 24 top U.S. airport
locations, lets customers select
any vehicle within their assigned
zone based on their loyalty status
and chosen car class.
Certainly, ease of use and effi-
ciency is the word of the day in
terms of transportation, says
Chris Brown, executive editor of
Auto Rental News. No one wants
to have to take a shuttle bus to a
rental car facility and wait in line.

In an interesting twist, both

Avis connected cars expedite
the rental process during pickup
and drop-off by providing real-

car they want, access the rental
agreement and get help if they
need it on demand.
Scott Deaver, executive vice
president and chief marketing of-
cer of Avis Budget Group, says
the program has improved the
companys operations. He says it
has been a boon for business trav-
elers as well.
Our research revealed that
corporate travelers on a tight
schedule want speed, efficiency
and control over their travel ex-
perience, he says. When they
need something, they expect it
quickly and with transparency.
He added: Business travelers
can focus on work, enjoy some
downtime before a meeting or get
home from a business trip faster.
And from the perspective of their
employer, this time can ultimate-
ly save our corporate partners
tens of millions of dollars in staff
time.
Enterprise is testing Launch-
Pad across the USA, as well as
France.
Lee Broughton, a vice presi-
dent at Enterprise Holdings who
manages the Enterprise brand,
says LaunchPad has streamlined
the rental process while allowing
the company to learn more about
its customers preferences
through pre-lled reservations.
It has allowed employees to get
away from the counter so that
they can interact with customers
anywhere to provide more op-
tions. In other words, they con-
duct business on the customers
terms, he says.
The opportunity to get to
know the consumer in an even
more intimate way is something
that is available, he says.

ten ignored by thick-skinned
travel companies that have devel-
oped a form response for every-
thing, why not do something
effective this year? To gure out
how to do that, you need to re-
view the bad complaints and
learn from them. This is going to
be fun.
This is no laughing matter,
though. If youre worried about
the coming onslaught of negativ-
ity, the travel industry should be
deathly afraid.
The effects are undeniable,
says Ben Jost, CEO of TrustYou,
which helps hotels analyze and
respond to guest feedback. Travel
companies that ignore the nega-
tive feedback suffer a measurable
decline in booking.
At the same time, a lot of the
gripes miss the mark badly.
Here are a few phrases that auto-
matically send your email to the
recycler:
uI demand a free rst-class
ticket anywhere your airline

thousands of cases that refer-

complaint cliche that Im con-

uIf you dont do what I want,

than taking a gripe to the media.

a travel company to court? Only
a few. Complaints of this nature
are not ignored. Instead, theyre
forwarded to the legal depart-

Millennials eager to avoid student debt
They are saving
earlier for their kids
college than Boomers
Susan Tompor

USA TODAY
PERSONAL Many Millennials
FINANCE who know the bur-
dens of student debt
could be aiming to
treat college savings
a bit differently from their
parents.
After becoming parents, about
56% of Millennials began setting
aside money for college for their
children sometime between birth
and age 5. That compares with
only 33% of Baby Boomers who
did that, according to the How
America Saves for College 2016
report released last fall by Sallie
Mae, the private student loan gi-
ant, and Ipsos, an independent
global market research company.
They are paying attention,
said Robin Lott, executive direc-
tor of the Michigan Education
Trust and program manager for
the Michigan Education Savings
Program and the MI 529 Advi-
sors Plan.
Maybe, Lott said, some young-
er consumers recognize how
much they beneted when their
parents saved for them, or they
dont want their children to be
overburdened by student loans.
Whatever it is, I applaud
them, she said.
Here are some tips to consider
whether a child is in kindergar-
ten or high school when in
comes to college savings:

Hoping to get in early on the
next Amazon before it becomes,
well, the next Amazon?
Good luck. Its not as easy as it
used to be.
Thats because the number of
U.S. stocks has been shrinking for
20 years. At last count, there were
3,599 in the Wilshire 5000 Total
Market Index, which tracks all
stocks actively traded in America.
Thats down more than 50% from
the 1997 peak of 7,459.
The smaller pool of stocks to
invest in has been driven by a
number of factors. Fewer young
companies are opting to sell their
shares to the public through ini-
tial public offerings, or IPOs.
Mergers have eliminated many
stocks. The rise of private equity
rms, which buy entire compa-
nies and run them privately with
the goal of xing them up and
boosting protability, has taken
hundreds of stocks out of circula-
tion. And every remaining stock
is under the microscope like nev-
er before.
Heres how fewer stocks affect
mom-and-pop investors.

quently opting to get money from
private investors instead of
through IPOs, small investors
have a harder time getting early
access to upstarts, such as Ama-
zon and Facebook.
The primary disadvantage is
that (small investors) are not get-
ting an opportunity to buy stocks
when they are in the biggest part
of their growth phase, bemoans
Jason Trennert, chairman of
Strategas Research Partners.
You have less to pick from the
study of parents with children
younger than 18 noted that 61%
of parents who are saving for col-
lege for their children do so with
a general savings account.
By contrast, 37% of parents use
the tax-favored 529 plans. Money
in a 529 plan can be used toward
tuition, room and board and oth-
er qualied expenses. It also can
be used for undergraduate educa-
tion or toward graduate degrees.
Millennial parents are more
likely to use 529 plans (44%) than
Gen X or Baby Boomer parents
(36% and 23%, respectively), ac-
cording to the study.
The 529 industry is built on
state-sponsored plans and tax
breaks. Wyoming is the only state
that does not have a state-spon-
sored 529 plan, according to the
College Savings Plans Network.
There are key benets of 529
college savings plans: 34 states
and the District of Columbia offer
an income tax deduction or some
kind of tax credit if you save mon-
ey in a 529 plan. Check the specif-
ic rules for your state. Six states
Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Missou-
ri, Montana and Pennsylvania

2 FEWER STOCKS, HARDER
TO GAIN EDGE
While individual investors might
miss out on gains generated by
private companies, both Main
Street and Wall Street investors
are equally hamstrung by a small-
er pool of stocks to choose from.
Why? It is even harder to get
market-beating returns because
the smaller number of shares that
are trading are over-analyzed and
picked over, which means fewer
529 plan, according to Young
Boozer, Alabamas state treasurer
and chair of the College Savings
Plans Network.
A college-saving plan is much
like a 401(k) plan in that savers
can select their own mix of in-
vestments. Typically, many par-
ents choose age-based options

that gradually reduce the amount
of stocks in the portfolio as the
child moves closer to college.
Leo Acheson, a senior analyst
at Morningstar who tracks 529
plans, said fees on college-savings
investments continue to fall.
Even so, investors need to pay at-

1990-99 2000-09 2010-17
stocks are temporarily mispriced,
says Bill Hornbarger, chief invest-
ment officer at Moneta Group.
3 UP-AND-COMER ACCESS
THROUGH FUNDS
But not all is lost. Individual in-
vestors can gain access to private
companies via mutual funds.
Fund tracker Morningstar says
about 3.6% of the mutual funds it
monitors held investments in pri-
vate companies, according to sec-
ond-quarter 2016 data. The most
widely held private company in-
vestments were Uber, cloud stor-
age plan Dropbox and lodging
app Airbnb.
Funds make investments in
high-potential private companies
to get a piece of the business at a
lower price than they might at
the IPO and to generate better re-
turns, says Katie Reichart, asso-
ciate director at Morningstar.
But individual investors who
own private companies through
funds that own hundreds of other
stocks should not expect turbo-
charged returns. A $10,000 in-
vestment, for example, in a single
stock that doubles in value will
net a $10,000 prot. But a simi-
lar-sized investment in a fund
that owns 200 other stocks will
net a smaller gain because the in-
vestment is spread out.
SUSAN TOMPOR
tention to the expense ratios and
fees charged through their 529
plan. Pay attention to any annual
maintenance fees that can be
charged, as those fees can drive
up costs, too. Some websites al-
low consumers to compare plans:
www.collegesavings.org and
www.savingforcollege.com.
Another advantage: Money
taken out of a 529 savings plan to
cover qualied college expenses
is tax-free on the federal and
state level.
PREPARE FOR HIGHER RATES
ON STUDENT LOANS
The average account balance in
529 plans is about $21,000, based
on information from the College
Savings Plans Network. So, most
families arent paying the full cost
of college just by tapping into sav-
ings. Federal student loans re-
main part of the picture.
Beginning July 1, interest rates
on federal student loans will
increase by 0.69 percentage
points. The new rate is 4.45% for
undergraduate Stafford loans, 6%
for Stafford loans for graduate
school and 7% for the federal Par-
ent PLUS loan.
The interest rates will apply to

new loans made beginning July 1
through June 30, 2018. Rates on
existing federal student loans
with xed rates will not change.
On average, undergraduates
took out $4,060 in unsubsidized
federal Stafford loans in 2015-16,
according to Mark Kantrowitz,
publisher and vice president of
strategy for Cappex.com. The av-
erage annual amount was $3,727
for undergraduate subsidized fed-
eral Stafford loans.
Parents who borrowed to help
their children attend college took
out $14,112 in Parent PLUS loans
on average in 2015-16.
Kantrowitz said he would ex-
pect the interest rates on federal
education loans to increase by
0.50 percentage points to 0.75
percentage points in July 2018 if
the Federal Reserve continues to
raise interest rates.
DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH IN
SCHOLARSHIP CASH
Its tempting to tell yourself that
your child will get a full ride so
you dont need to save. We all
hear plenty of happy stories dur-
ing high school graduation sea-
son. But your star high school
student might be looking at
$1,500 or less in scholarship cash.
Kantrowitz noted that the av-
erage scholarship based on
scholarships that are not con-
trolled by the college ends up
being just under $4,000 a year,
even though that average in-
cludes some fairly large-sized
awards.
Private scholarships might be
from a neighborhood association,
philanthropists, corporations,
foundations, community founda-
tions, 501(c)(3) organizations and
others.
Kantrowitz said about $6 bil-
lion in private scholarships are
awarded each year. That does not
include money awarded by the
college, which is just a discount
on tuition, he said.
Parents need to understand
that fewer than 1% of students
win a completely free ride
through scholarships, Kantrowitz
said.

OAKLAND There is no revenge

to be had for the Golden State
Warriors in these NBA Finals.
By adding Kevin Durant to
the NBAs best rivalry last sum-
mer, everything changed about
these annual June clashes with
LeBron James and his Cleve-
land Cavaliers. Now its about
nishing the job that everyone
expects them to do, a super
team reigning supreme. Now its
about avoiding the infamy that
would come with having just
one ring on the rsum after
three years of historic domina-
tion in the regular season.
But when Stephen Curry
toyed with James in the third
quarter of the 132-113 win Sun-
day at Oracle Arena, pulling him
from the perimeter to the paint
and sneaking that right-handed
layup into the net before James
paw swung behind his head, it
was as close as hell ever come
to a dose of retribution. Four-
teen dribbles. Four hand
changes. A 10-point lead. And
one step closer to the goal the
Warriors simply must reach.
The Cavs put up a better ght
this time, cutting the lead to as
little as four at one point in
large part because James (29
points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds)
looked like the best player on
in those 2016 Finals when he
struggled so mightily, was the
one smiling and smirking this
time.
The back-to-back NBA MVP
had a triple-double in the play-
offs for the rst time in 72 tries,
nishing with 32 points, 11 as-
sists and 10 rebounds.
His capper came midway
through the fourth quarter,
when he buried a deep three-
pointer from the left wing that
pushed the lead to 22 points
and was inspired to pull out his
twin six-shooters nger style
that he double-holstered on
his hips as the locals reveled.
It was quite a way for them to
welcome back Warriors coach
Steve Kerr, who returned to the
sideline after missing the previ-
ous 11 games because of symp-
toms from his botched back
surgery two summers ago. Kerr
had been out for six weeks, ever
since April 22, when he decided
he couldnt coach in Game 3 of
the rst-round playoff series
against the Portland Trail
Blazers.
The high-powered Warriors
also received another strong
showing from Durant on Sun-
day as he had 33 points, 13 re-
bounds and six assists.

ESPN brings back Williams, iconic MNF song

@CindyNWatts
USA TODAY Sports
NASHVILLE ESPN is bringing
Hank Williams Jr. and all his
rowdy friends back into the
Monday Night Football fold, six
years after the cable sports net-
work parted ways with the brash
country singer because of his
controversial remarks involving
then-president Barack Obama.
Williams new version of All
My Rowdy Friends Are Here on
Monday Night, with his trade-
mark opening, Are you ready for
some football? will premiere be-
fore the Sept. 11 season opener
between the New Orleans Saints
and the Minnesota Vikings.
I think its a return to our past
in that its such an iconic song as-
sociated with football, said Ste-
phanie Druley, ESPNs senior vice
president of events and studio
production.
It was the original, Druley
said. It belongs to Monday Night

ing to what fans know. Its a Mon-

ESPN is an unexpected home-
coming.

the last ve or six years, but I will
now, said singer, 68, seated in his
dressing room during a break in
lming the commercial. Im feel-
ing at home, and its a real good
thing. Its my song.
Williams rst performed the
song, based on his hit All My
Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over
Tonight, during the 20th season
of Monday Night Football in 1989.
ESPN dropped him from the
program in 2011 after remarks
Williams made about a golf out-
ing between Obama and then-Re-
publican House Speaker John
Boehner.
Williams described the outing,
famously dubbed the golf sum-
mit, as one of the biggest politi-
cal mistakes ever.
Williams said on the Fox News
Channels Fox & Friends: It
would be like Hitler playing golf
with (Israeli leader) Benjamin
Netanyahu. When asked on Fox
to explain his analogy, Williams
said Obama and then-vice presi-
dent Joe Biden were the enemy.
Williams responded to criti-
cism over the remarks, saying he
was simply trying to show how
stupid it seemed to me how lu-
dicrous that pairing was.
Druley said he was not con-
cerned about a backlash over
bringing Williams back.
Im sure therell be some, but
Im not concerned, she said. We
discussed it internally, and it was
just the right time to bring him
back.
The move to renew its rela-
tionship with Williams comes
amid a tumultuous period at
ESPN.
Several high-prole on-air per-
sonalities, including Trent Dilfer
and Jayson Stark, were among
those laid off from the network in
a round of cuts in April that re-
portedly numbered nearly 100.
Bringing back Williams might
be one way the network is trying
to get back its mojo as The
Worldwide Leader in Sports.
In listening to the recent cuts
that Ive gotten, its phenomenal,
Druley said of the new version of
the song. It just immediately
gets you psyched for the game
youre going to watch, and for
football fans, thats a big deal. I
think people will be really, really
excited about it.

Pujols dares to dream of becoming home run king
v CONTINUED FROM 1C
Pujols, the Los Angeles Angels
DH, breaks into a slow grin,
knowing he has something even
greater in mind.
Sure, he is 37 and slowing
down, but as long as his body
doesnt completely break down,
hell let you in on a secret.
He would love to have the
chance to become baseballs
home run king, and if hes close to
Bonds record of 762 when his
$240 million contract expires af-
ter the 2021 season, hell keep on
going.
God willing, I hope I get the
opportunity, Pujols recently told
USA TODAY Sports. If Im close,
and Ive played 20 some years al-
ready, why not play one more and
try to get it?
It would be so special. I cant
even imagine.
Considering that Pujols is the
fourth-youngest player to hit 600
home runs and has averaged 29
home runs even during ve inju-
ry-plagued years with the Angels,
its hardly unimaginable.
Lets put it this way, Pujols
should reach 700 home runs be-
fore anyone else again passes the
600 barrier. There are eight other
active players with more than
300 homers, but only Miguel Ca-
brera of the Detroit Tigers has
450.
Pujols hit his 500th homer
three years ago. If he has 700
home runs by the time hes 40,
why couldnt he do it?
You cant put nothing past Al-
bert, Angels two-time MVP
teammate Mike Trout says.
And once he hits his 700th,
with Bonds in his sights, Pujols
suddenly will have everyone pay-
ing attention, rooting for him to
break the record, becoming base-
balls presumably clean home run
champion, with no ugly taint of
steroid use.
To be able to accomplish what
I have in 17 years, with the time I
missed, over 100 games with inju-
ries, its pretty special, Pujols
says quietly. If that time comes
and I have a chance to accom-
plish it, I know people will talk
about that for a long, long time.

Pereira understands difficulty of job
NFLs new director of officials
Riveron faces scrutiny, pressure
Jarrett Bell
jbell@usatoday.com
USA TODAY Sports
Mike Pereira chuckled when
asked whether he missed his old
job.
I think I can do without those
80-hour workweeks during the
season, Pereira, who served nine
years as the NFLs director of offi-
ciating, told USA TODAY Sports
last week.
He left the rigors and, well,
perks of overseeing the game offi-
cials to become the high-prole
rules analyst for Fox in 2010
and now often second-guesses
the officials on national TV.
Theres a shelf life with that
job, added Pereira, 67. I think I
took it right to the edge. The loss
of sharpness was evident. In my
prime, I could cite the page where
you could nd something in the
rule book, the article and even ex-
ceptions to the rules, without
looking at rule book. Toward the
end, I had to think about it.
Sure, it was a loaded question.
Pereira was speaking from San
Sebastian, Spain, a coastal resort
town in the Basque Country,
winding down from an extended
getaway. Clearly in vacation
mode, it was after 10 p.m. local
time, and he still hadnt made it
to the restaurant for dinner. The
intense, highly scrutinized re-
gimen of his old job was way in
the rearview mirror.
Yet here was the purpose of the
reminder: If theres anyone who
can sense the challenge confront-
ing Alberto Riveron, recently
named the NFLs new director of
officiating, its Pereira.
Its the second-hardest job in
Albert Pujols is nearing the 2,000-RBI mark for his career, a number achieved by four players.
having fun, why should I stop?
The game will tell me when
its time to stop, but I know Ive
got four more years after this, and
then, who knows?
Pujols no longer is the same
player who averaged 40 homers
and 121 RBI in 11 seasons with the
St. Louis Cardinals, but he is a
guy who has hit 80 home runs
with 256 RBI since the start of
the 2015 season. He is second in
the American League with 42
RBI and has more RBI than any-
one else in the league since 2016.
This guy is probably the
the league, Pereira declared. Ill
give Roger (Goodell) the toughest
job. As commissioner, he deals
with everything, plus 32 owners.
But its hard. Theres so much vol-
atility. You dont make friends in
that post. You make enemies.
The frequency of turnover in
the position is hardly lost on Pe-
reira. Riveron, 57, will be the
third new officiating chief in eight
years, after Dean Blandino and
Carl Johnson, raising questions
about the organizational consis-
tency. Through Pereiras nal sea-
son, the NFL had just three
officiating directors including
Jerry Seeman and Art McNally
in 41 years.
Blandino, who headed the de-
partment for four years, is a
tough act to follow.
A lot of people in the league
will miss Dean, Periera said. It
makes it very hard for Al. Hes got
size 16s hes got to ll.
Blandino, who reportedly will
soon work for a network, too,
earned tremendous respect de-
spite having never worked on the
eld as a game official, which
each director dating to McNally
had on his rsum. The relation-
ships that Pereira developed in
communicating with the teams
and his ability to explain contro-
versial calls to media and fans,
which included a vibrant social
media presence, were essential to
his role.
Now Riveron will be the ulti-
mate authority as senior vice
president of officiating, the tran-
sition aided by his years as Blan-
dinos right-hand man.
The jury is out, Pereira said.
How he will relate to the coach-
es, general managers, the media
will be so important.
In promoting Riveron, the
league restructured the officiat-
ing hierarchy. Although Riveron
is responsible for the entire de-
toughest ballplayer Ive ever
seen, Angels manager Mike
Scioscia says. Being able to go
out there and play at 50% and
still be extremely productive.
Its Pujols consistency that
separates him from just about ev-
eryone else.
He has driven in at least 95
runs in every season except 2013,
when he was limited to 99 games
because of a torn foot ligament.
He has hit 30 home runs in all but
two seasons. And never, ever, has
he struck out 100 times.

Wayne Mackie became vice presi-

some of the burden of responsi-

plan was already in the works.

numbers you want, but comput-
ers are not going to tell you how
smart a player you are.

Now that Pujols has reached a
place where only eight men had

accomplishment. It was that way

things Im looking at too.
Yes, like 3,000 hits. Like 2,000

Pujols, who has 2,876 hits, hav-

and 1,859 RBI, should join Aaron

is the third player in history to
have 600 homers and 600 dou-

Well, nobodys going to see it.
Not anymore. Now a mistake in
Buffalo is tweeted by a fan and its
everywhere. That makes it a lot
more difficult.
Theres more pressure nowa-
days to be perfect, which is
impossible.
Thats why Riverons ability to
establish himself as a credible
voice in addressing the contro-
versial calls will be a crucial sub-
plot during the coming season.
This while every replay deci-
sion will ow through the nerve
center at NFL headquarters in
New York.
I get what theyre doing, Pe-
reira said. They are trying to
speed it up.
But Pereira is no fan of central-
ized replay, sensing that on-eld
officials are now less empowered.
Im kind of in one of those
camps where I feel like it hurts
officiating, he said. It gives them
a bit of a crutch.
When replay was reinstalled in
1999, the prevailing sentiment al-
lowed the calls to remain under
the power of the referee, who
would review the plays on a mon-
itor at eld level. This season, ref-
erees will be able to review the
plays on a tablet while in commu-
nication with headquarters, but
the ultimate decisions will be out
of their hands.
Officials have traditionally
been viewed as an entity that,
while paid by the NFL, operated
in a zone that was separate from
the teams and the league office.
Now Pereira senses the lines
are blurred with rulings to come
from league-paid employees who
spend their weeks at headquar-
ters.
Theres no buffer now, Perei-
ra said.
That, too, he senses, will add to
the pressure of the man now in
the tough job that burned him
out.

Rahal doubles down in Detroit GP

DETROIT Graham Rahal wasnt
happy about a red ag that result-
ed in a late restart. He also said he
wasnt worried about holding off
Josef Newgarden to complete a
weekend sweep in the Verizon
IndyCar Series.
Rahal became the rst IndyCar
driver to complete the double-
header sweep of the Detroit
Grand Prix on the 14-turn, 2.35-
mile Belle Isle course. He swept
in dominating fashion, leading 96
of 140 laps over the two races, in-
cluding 41 Sunday.
Well, obviously I wasnt super
geeked about the red ag scenar-

racing is racing. I would have

obviously. When we went red, I
knew that the lap car, (Ryan)

I knew what his pace was all day.

brought his personal sense of
what NASCAR cuisine should be
but checked his combustible tele-

as grand marshal of the Monster
Energy NASCAR Cup Series race
at Dover International Speedway.
Ramsay lmed segments for
his cooking show The F Word in
the driver coach lot in conjunc-

celebrity chef lmed were chang-

for her crew with Eric Maycroft, a

Ramsays call for drivers to

Rahal opted for a two-pit strat-
egy both days, while other com-
petitors, notably Helio Castro-
neves, who started second Satur-
day, planned for three pit stops.
Rahal was able to stretch his fuel
and build a big lead in both races,
a key factor that allowed him to
pull off the sweep.
In the opening race, Rahal took
the lead for good on lap 51, after
Scott Dixon pitted on lap 50. Dix-
on, driving with an injured foot
after a horric crash in the Indy
500 the previous Sunday, closed
that lead to 6.1 seconds over the
next 10 laps, but Rahal had too
much left.
Dixon nished sixth Sunday
and retained the points lead. Ra-
hal moved up to sixth.
Bobby Rahal referred to it as a
dream weekend.
The car was obviously really
good, Bobby Rahal said. Gra-
ham obviously did a great job.
Graham Rahal now will go to
Texas Motor Speedway to try to
win a third race in a row. Hes the
defending champion there.
As I said to you all last night,
these things dont happen very
often, Rahal said of getting his
fth and sixth career wins.
Through the ups and downs of
my career, when you get a chance
to win a race, you never take it for
granted. So its pretty special for
me.

Maycroft, who played a pit
crewmember and served as a
stunt double for Will Ferrell in
Talladega Nights: The Legend of
Ricky Bobby, said he initially was
intimidated by the prospect of
sharing a burner with the intense
chef. Ramsays humbling experi-
ence attempting to change lug
nuts alleviated that, Maycroft
said.
We got to bring him into our

a lot easier for me, and hes actu-

it took him about ve seconds, so
I told him if that was compared to

Ramsay humbly agreed, de-
scribing his performance as a di-
saster, but drew comparisons
from racing to culinary arts.

DUBLIN, OHIO Phil Mickelson is
likely to withdraw from the U.S.
Open.
He instead will attend his
daughter Amandas high school
graduation.
Mickelson informed the U.S.
Golf Association of his decision
last week to be at Pacic Ridge
School in Carlsbad, Calif., instead
of Erin Hills in Wisconsin for the
rst round of the U.S. Open on
June 15. Thats when Amanda,
the class president, will give the
commencement speech for the
school. The ceremony starts at 10
a.m. PT.
Mickelson will wait until the
last minute to withdraw in case
foul weather delays the rst
round of the Open or something
happens to cause the commence-
ment ceremony to be moved.
I dont know what will hap-
pen, but it doesnt look very

DUBLIN, OHIO Jason Dufner held
off Rickie Fowler and weathered
Chief Leatherlips on Sunday to
win the storm-plagued Memorial
Tournament.
A day after limping into the
clubhouse with a 77 in the third
round, Dufner knocked in a 32-
foot putt for par on the 72nd hole
to close out his victory and then
walked over to get the coveted
handshake from tournament host
Jack Nicklaus. Dufner, who had a
ve-shot lead after 36 holes but
trailed by four after 54 holes,
signed for a 4-under-par 68 to
nish at 13 under and three shots
clear of Fowler (70) and Anirban
Lahiri (65).
Justin Thomas (72) and Matt
Kuchar (73) nished at 9 under.
Four players nished at 8 under,
including Bubba Watson, who
earned his rst top-10 nish in a
stroke-play event this year.
Unustered by his third round
and unruffled by two weather de-
lays late in the nal round, Duf-
ner won his fth PGA Tour title
and rst since the 2016 Career-
Builder Challenge. He joined
Nicklaus as the only players born
in Ohio to win the Memorial.

If Crosby is frustrated that he
and Malkin were limited to zero
shots on goal in Game 3, he didnt
show it Sunday afternoon when
he met with the media.
We had chances, Crosby said.
Weve just got to hit the net.
They blocked some, and its just a
matter of winning those battles.
When a defense gures out
how to thwart offensive stars, its
easy to start believing that the de-
fenders are getting under their
skin. Our rst impulse is to make
it about frustration or anger.
But Crosby always views these
situations as being more about
execution.
Thats also how his coach views
it.
We would like them to put
more pucks on the net, Penguins
coach Mike Sullivan said. I think
they had opportunities to shoot
that they passed up. I dont think
thats always reected in the
statistics.
In this era of advanced stats, a
shot on goal seems like the sim-
plest of stats. How hard can that
be?

there are certain things you need
to be there for.
Mickelson, who has nished
second a record six times in the
U.S. Open, needs a win in the na-
tional championship to become
the sixth player to complete the
career Grand Slam. Mickelson,
who turns 47 on June 16, said the
decision was difficult, but he
didnt waver on his commitment
to his family.
Obviously its a tournament
that I want to win the most, and
the only way to win is if you play
Pretty good company there
and pretty good event to win,
Dufner said.
After the rst weather delay,
Dufner took the outright lead
with a birdie on 15 and extended
his advantage to two shots with a
birdie on the 17th, where he hit a
357-yard drive and a 120-yard
sand wedge and made a 3-foot
putt. After returning to the 18th
fairway after the second weather
delay as the tournament raced to
beat darkness, Dufner rst
chunked his second shot on the
hole from deep rough into more
rough. He then hit a sand wedge
onto the green. With Fowler just
off the green and in position to
chip in for birdie to tie for the
lead, Dufner made the putt to
win.
So today was nice. Yesterday
was not nice. But to rebound
from it, I think that makes me
really proud to kind of grind
through it, Dufner said.
The delays werent a problem,
just kind of happens. I was hoping
that we could get through with
just one. But those things happen
out here. Ive been through a lot
of delays, so you get a routine and
stick to it.

she would understand if he

The Predators have had several
stretches in which they have

in games they lost. Their 5-1 win
in Game 3 was impressive. They
have outshot the Penguins in
each game, with a 97-67 advan-
tage in the series.
This shots-on-goal issue is also
important because Sullivans tac-

into the winners circle. After
reading articles about breathing
techniques employed by snipers

started working this year on es-
tablishing a putting routine that
would put less stress on his heart
rate. Using his own type of Zen
meditation, he started concen-
trating on his address positions
and his breathing.
Dufner said he takes the putter
back only after he exhales. Then
he counts 1-2 to help with the
rhythm of his stroke as the putter
goes back and then forward.
It worked to perfection on the
nal putt. And in the rst two
rounds, where Dufner shot 65-65.

broke the record held by Scott
Hoch (1987) and Fowler (2010)

rounds, he made 30 of 32 putts

with them is just try to get them

shot-rst mind-set. I think when

Its not about the quality of
Subbans breath or what comes
out of the players mouth in
terms of trash-talking. As impres-
sive as the Nashville crowd is,

It will come down to whether

Venus Williams hits a shot during her three-set loss to Timea
Bacsinszky on Sunday in the French Open.
V. WILLIAMS OUSTED
IN FRENCH OPEN;
MUGURUZA DEFEATED
Sandra Harwitt
Special for USA TODAY Sports
PARIS It turned out to be an un-
satisfying day for American play-
ers and former womens Grand
Slam tournament champions
Sunday in the French Open.
No. 10 seed Venus Williams,
competing in an Open era-record
20th French Open, met the crite-
ria in both categories as she will
depart Paris with a fourth-round
loss.
Williams was the last Ameri-
can standing when she suffered
a 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 loss to 30th seed
Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland.
It marked the second consecutive
year in which Williams fell to
Bacsinszky in the fourth round
here. Bacsinszky turned her back
in straight sets last year.
Probably she wanted the re-
venge of last year, Bacsinszky
said. All the time when I step on
these courts here, theres some-
thing special happening. I feel
really privileged to be able to play
on these courts.
It looked as if Williams might
battle it out against the Swiss
player when she rebounded from
a 5-1 decit to win the rst set,
but she ran out of energy to ght
Bacsinsky in the nal two sets.
She had so many answers to-
day, Williams said. I just give
her credit for playing well every
point, even in the rst set. Some-
times its just bad luck.
Before Williams took the court,
21st seed John Isner, the last
American man in singles, lost to
unseeded Russian Karen Khacha-
nov 7-6 (7-1), 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 7-6
(7-3).
Williams, 36, also was the nal
former Grand Slam champion re-
maining in the womens draw. At
the start of Sunday, there were
four former major champions in
the mix: defending champion
Garbine Muguruza of Spain, Svet-
lana Kuznetsova of Russia, Sa-
mantha Stosur of Australia and
Williams.
Asked to weigh in on the lack
of former Grand Slam champions
in the draw moving forward, Wil-
liams lacked interest in the
situation.
Players condent in security at Wimbledon
Recent terror attacks in Britain
dont prompt players to skip major
The Associated Press
PARIS Professional tennis play-
ers at the French Open say they
are not worried about competing
at Wimbledon next month de-
spite the recent attacks in Britain.
Im sure Wimbledons on top ple out there that want to do that
of that stuff, Britains Jamie
Murray, the brother of No. 1-
ranked Andy Murray, said Sunday
after reaching the doubles quar-
ternals at Roland Garros. That
seems to be the world that we
have to live in these days, which is
not much fun for anyone. But I
guess you just have to trust in the
authorities and the people that
are in charge that they know
what theyre doing.
Britain suffered its third major
attack in three months when men
using a van and knives killed sev-
MICHEL EULER, AP
Its all behind me now, so
whatever happens in this tourna-
ment is not necessarily my con-
cern anymore, said Williams,
who will be 37 when she steps on
the court at Wimbledon. Im
looking forward to my own next
tournament. Its all I can focus on
right now.
The fourth seed, Muguruza
was attempting to successfully
defend a Grand Slam title for the
rst time in her career. That op-
portunity came to a crushing halt
against 13th seed Kristina Mlade-
novic, a Frenchwoman who post-
ed a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 upset cheered by
the home crowd.
Defending her title was an
emotional and intimidating situa-
tion for the Spaniard.
She was still struggling to calm
down by the time she arrived at
her news conference, where early
into the proceedings she dis-
solved into tears and had to brief-
ly step away to compose herself
before returning.
Everything played out against
Muguruza on Sunday, especially
that the crowd was supporting
one of its own.
I think the crowd today was a
little bit obviously tough for me,
Muguruza said. I understand. I
just think that they were a little
bit, sometimes should be a little
bit more respectful. The chair
umpire has to always calm the
crowd down.
Im not here to create ene-
mies, she added. I mean, I love
playing here.
Mladenovics win puts her into
her second career Grand Slam
quarternal, where she will battle
Bacsinszky. Mladenovic also
reached the quarternals of the
2015 U.S. Open, while Bacsinszky
has played in three other quarter-
nals, with her best Grand Slam
showing a 2015 French seminal
berth.
The other quarternal pairing
determined Sunday will match
11th seed Caroline Wozniacki, a
former world No. 1, against 47th-
ranked Jelena Ostapenko of Lat-
via.
Wozniacki, from Denmark,
outlasted 2009 French Open
champion Kuznetsova 6-1, 4-6,
6-2, while Ostapenko upset 23rd
seed Stosur 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.
en people in a busy area of Lon-
don on Saturday night.
Its very hard to stop someone
getting in a van and driving
around trying to knock people
over. How do you stop that? Its
very difficult. Its very sad. Its
tragic, Jamie Murray continued.
Its just a shame that theres peo-
stuff to other humans.
A van veered off the road and
barreled into pedestrians on Lon-
don Bridge. Three men with large
knives then got out of the vehicle
and attacked people at bars and
restaurants in nearby Borough
Market until they were fatally
shot by police.
There was a similar vehicle-
and knife-attack on Westminster
Bridge in London in March that

a mix of joy, juggling
Sandra Harwitt
Special for USA TODAY Sports
PARIS For any parent, the joy of
having children comes with a
heavy dose of responsibility.
If the parent in question is a
globe-trotting professional ten-
nis player, the job comes with
the added demands of being a
family constantly on the go.
Not surprisingly, there are
many more fathers than playing
mothers on the tour. But three
moms have captured Grand
Slam tournament titles after
having children: Margaret Court
won the last three of her record
24 Grand Slam singles titles af-
ter her son was born; Evonne
Goolagong won the last of her
seven majors as a mom and,
more recently, Kim Clijsters
won three of her four Grand
Slam trophies with daughter,
Jade, in tow.

likely his end, no

More than two years after Bill

Cosby was shoved off his showbiz
pedestal by an avalanche of accu-
sations of sexual assault, the once-
acclaimed comedy icon goes on
trial Monday over what happened
with one accuser more than 13
years ago.
Expect a trial as tightly focused
as Judge Steven ONeill can make
it on what happened at Cosbys
suburban Philadelphia estate in
January 2004, when Temple Uni-
versity official Andrea Constand
arrived for dinner and advice
from her mentor, Cosby, a Tem-
ple alum.
Do not expect to see Cosby tes-

Do not expect to watch the
trial; there will be no cameras in

from the courtroom.

and one Rachel Lindsay, ABCs rst
of her black Bachelorette, knows about
the lights, the producers and the
admirers screaming fans all too well. After
all, the 32-year-old attorney ap-
peared on Nick Vialls season of
The Bachelor and has been on
plenty of group dates this season.
But for 27-year-old Anthony
Battle, joining Lindsay for a one-
on-one that involved riding hors-
es and shopping on Rodeo Drive
was, well, his rst rodeo.
I was right there last March,
when USA TODAY got an exclu-
sive glimpse of what Mondays
episode of ABCs The Bachelorette
(8 ET/PT) is like between takes.
For one, I learned that theres a
lot of sitting around.
After Battle and Lindsay shop
in posh Beverly Hills stores, their
equine companions waiting out-

of City Hall. With buses of tour-
ists out of sight, they can relax.
At least they appear relaxed as
they wait to lm the confession-
al interviews that are reality-TV
staples, and then get ready for an-
other date. They seem to have an
easy chemistry, but sit apart, per-
haps saving more conversation
for when the cameras are rolling.
Talk about embracing the en-
tire look, Lindsay quips to Battle,
whos wearing the new cowboy
hat he and Lindsay purchased
(with ABCs money) on the date.
He smiles. Meanwhile, Lindsays

lets me try it on.
Other producers admire the
hat, reassure each other the date
went well and snack on cupcakes.
Lindsay stands out in the
group of makeup-free producers
wearing sweats: Shes movie-star
glamorous with a fresh face and a
striking, gap-toothed smile. Shes
happy to talk about her recent
date, which, she says, was custom
tailored for her.
Maybe Im being a stereotype
right now, but I am from Texas, so
Ive expressed that I have this city

say says. I like a guy that can roll
with the punches and not be
afraid to try something new, says
the attorney, whos since revealed
that she is engaged to someone
on the show.

Once you start getting focused
on whats happening, you dont
even see the cameras anymore,
the Chicago native says. Obvi-
ously, in everyday life, you dont
get interviewed after every expe-
rience you have. So its something
to get used to even more so than
the cameras, he says. Of the elab-
orate horseback riding date, he
adds, Im just excited to get out
of the house and spend some
time with Rachel.
Though Battle has traveled the
world teaching English, this one-
on-one date marks his rst time
out of the Bachelor mansion since
shooting began, and the rst time
hes ever ridden a horse.
Producers gather around Bat-
tle and give him a pep talk before
he changes for another date. One
suggests he have a little make-

Well see if the prompting was
effective on Mondays episode.

MUSIC

Dear pop stars: Where

are the protest songs?
Maeve McDermott
@maeve_mcdermott
USATODAY

What does protest music

sound like in the age of Trump?
Todays biggest pop stars have
some ideas.
According to Katy Perrys
purposeful pop song Chained to
the Rhythm, the resistance is a
disco track about suburban mal-
aise. Lana Del Rey claimed North
Korea as the inspiration behind
her new song Coachella Wood-
stock in My Mind, a track thats as
ery as a music-festival ower
crown. Miley Cyrus told Billboard
shes making a political new
record. Yet, her lead single Mali-
bu had all the Americana inu-
ences of Laurel Canyon folk and
none of the progressive politics.
Considering all three of these
stars have been accused of appro-
priating urban culture, its time
they stop stealing and start listen-
ing. Since the election, hip-hop
artists have released the dening
music of the Trump resistance.
Hip-hops political conscience
is nothing new, with protest in-
grained in the storytelling of the
genres forefathers.
Kendrick Lamars chart-top-
ping DAMN. is 2017s best-selling
release so far, an album that
weaves vivid narratives about
race and poverty in America.
A month after DAMN.s re-
lease, Logics Everybody replaced
Lamars album at No. 1. Everybody
features verses from Public Ene-
mys Chuck D, Black Thought
from the Roots and Killer Mike
from Run the Jewels, uniting
three decades of socially con-
scious rap. The month before,
Joey Bada$$ All-Amerikkkan
Bada$$ landed at No. 5, an album
that borrows both its spelling and
its excoriation of police brutality
from Ice Cubes 1990 classic
AmeriKKKas Most Wanted.
Alongside Lamar, Logic and

and Run the Jewels, two groups

month before the election, yet
more politically resonant than
few works of popular music since.
Of course, the spectrum of an-
ti-Trump music extends beyond
just Lamar and Perry. Modern
folk music, has seen recent songs
like Jason Isbells Hope the High
Road and Bruce Springsteens
That What Makes Us Great, an-
thems focused more on staying
positive than taking a stand. Neil
Young and Green Day released
social justice-oriented albums
last year, and Gorillaz new Hu-
manz references the dread, if not
the politics, of life under Trump.
And with full albums coming
from Perry, Lana and Cyrus, in
addition to Ani DiFranco and Jeff
Tweedy, theres more potential
for protest songs to come.
Less than seven months since
the election seems too soon for a
Blowin in the Wind-style genera-
tional anthem to arrive. But con-
sidering the bold statements from
the hip-hop world, the protest song
that comes to dene the Trump
era will likely sound less like Imag-
ine and more like Alright.

The rst man Wonder Woman
ever met turned out to be her
perfect Bumble match.
Amazon warrior Diana Prince
(played by Gal Gadot) and Steve
Trevor (Chris Pine), an American
spy ghting alongside the Brits in
World War I, are brave, physical
characters, operating with a sense
of duty and not too shabby in
the looks department, either.
But its worth pondering: Why
did lmmakers decide to swipe
right on Steve? Could Diana
Princes origin story have sur-
vived without a boyfriend at all?
Director Patty Jenkins says
Wonder Woman deserved an
equal. In my mind, I always
thought, just because shes a
woman (doesnt mean she
shouldnt) have the great love,
too, Jenkins says.
But in making Wonder Woman
(in theaters now), lmmakers
kept a careful eye on how their
Steve was drawn.
The last thing Diana needed as
she set off to ght the god of war
was to be in a condescending re-
lationship, Jenkins says.
With (Steve), theres room for
her to be the superhero that she
is. If what were doing is living
that dream of being the super-
hero you want to be, part of that
dream is meeting a man who is a
truly great man who has no prob-
lem with that and who wants to
be with that woman.
Slowly, Steve learns of Dianas
power while still aiming for
something resembling chivalry.
