DC MAYOR SIGNS $15/HOUR MINIMUM WAGE INTO LAW

1

The District of Columbia’s mayor has signed a $15-an-hour minimum wage into law, a rate adopted by a growing number of cities and states seeking to battle income inequality. The bill boosts minimum hourly wage to $15 by 2020, with subsequent hikes tied to inflation. “Three months ago, I said we would take up the #FightFor15 in DC and I am so excited to sign it into law today!” Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said on her Twitter feed. The bill had been unanimously approved by the City Council. It was opposed by business owners who argued that it would raise costs and lead to automation, and would make the city less competitive with neighboring suburbs. Washington joins California and New York in making $15 the hourly minimum. At least eight cities, including Seattle, have also approved the $15 base. REUTERS

VEHICLES IN ROLLAWAY RECALL LINKED TO 68 INJURIES

U.S. safety regulators said on Tuesday there were 68 reported injuries and 266 reported crashes in vehicles, including 20142015 Fiat Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee models with a type of gear-shifting control that has confused some consumers and led to rollaway incidents, prompting a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicated that there were no deaths linked to the defect. But NHTSA acknowledged that it is aware of last week’s death of “Star Trek” actor Anton Yelchin in an accident the agency said “may have been related to the alleged defect.” The company in April recalled 1.1 million vehicles worldwide, some 811,000 of them in the U.S. market.

Ice cream jingle jangles nerves, inspires lawsuit Between noise complaints and knockoff tunes, ice cream vendors are feeling the heat. JASON NUCKOLLS @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

The Mister Softee ice cream jingle has attracted attention for two reasons recently as a lawsuit for copyright infringement was settled against a rival New York ice cream man, and area residents have lodged larger numbers of noise complaints against the iconic music. A Brooklyn judge ruled against Dimitrios Konstantakakos, owner of the New York Ice Cream vendor truck, for infringing on the hummable Mister Softee jingle with his own knockoff tune, the New York Daily News reported on Monday. Magistrate Judge Steven Gold ruled that the music could confuse customers, which include large numbers of children for both companies. Konstantakakos, a former Mister Softee franchisee, was ordered to pay more than $10,000 to the company, the Daily News added. “This is a victory in our ongoing cases against those who violated their franchise agreements and continued to use Mister Softee’s registered marks,” the company’s lawyer Frederic Jennings told the Daily News.

Dromm also sought to amend the city’s noise code, which currently allows jingles to be played at low decibels.

What your NYC rent will get you in Boston Rents in Boston and New York City show more similarities than differences. LEN MANIACE @MetroBOS

letters@metro.us

With a population of only 667,000, Boston fits somewhere in size between the Bronx and Staten Island, New York City’s smallest boroughs. But a comparison of apartment rents shows the Massachusetts state capital punches well above its weight. So much so that Bostonians, just like New Yorkers, gripe about the lack of affordable apartments in their city. Blessed with a thriving economy, world-class institutions of higher education as well as historic, walkable neighborhoods, Boston is affluent and desirable. Desirable enough

that Boston ranks just behind San Francisco and New York City as home to the nation’s most expensive rentals, according to the real estate website Zumper. A sampling of neighborhoods in both cities by NeighbrhoodX, a real estate research and analytics startup, shows more similarities than differences in rent prices, especially if one gets past a few of New York’s ultrapricey neighborhoods. Construction cranes are a fixture in downtown Boston. The median onebedroom rental goes for $3,300 a month, putting the neighborhood well below one of New York City’s priciest neighborhoods, Tribeca, where median one-bedroom rents are $4,700. Downtown Boston

is still above one of Brooklyn’s trendiest areas, Williamsburg, which has a median one-bedroom rent of $2,900. Not far away from downtown is Beacon Hill, one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods. Filled with handsome Federalstyle homes built mostly in the early 1800s, the median rent is $2,500. New York townhouse neighborhoods include brownstone Brooklyn Heights and Chelsea, which fetch $3,100 and $3,800 a month, respectively, though rents in the latter years have been pushed up dramatically by recent high rises. And speaking of brownstones, Boston has Back Bay, which shares more than a few similarities to Brooklyn Heights.

For a list of rents, visit metro.us

Both were developed in the late 1800s and feature elegant townhouses, front stoops and gardens. Back Bay also has Newbury Street, an eightblock commercial stretch. The median rent there is $2,800 for a one bedroom. One addition to Beantown’s high-rent districts might shock old-timers. South Boston’s D Street/ West Broadway has sprouted pricey housing, part of the spillover from a major redevelopment of nearby piers and industrial land. Located across a channel from downtown Boston, a one bedroom in this section of “Southie” rents for $3,000. The figure for similarly situated Long Island City, which is undergoing a major redevelopment also, stands at $2,900. Like New York, Boston has its more affordable neighborhoods, but as is usually the case, one pays for that with greater distance from the city’s

downtown. Farther south, Dorchester is the city’s largest neighborhood and perhaps its most ethnically diverse. One of Dorchester’s commercial centers is Upham’s Corner, where the median one-bedroom rents for $1,600. New York neighborhoods comparable in price are Woodside in Queens, $1,800; Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, $1,700; and Mott Haven in the Bronx, $1,500. Not far from down-

town is Boston’s West End, a neighborhood of high-rise apartment buildings that have risen out of urban renewal demolition of the 1950s. Though it lacks the historic architecture of the city’s close-in neighborhoods, it does have convenience — and a median one-bedroom rent of $3,000, about the same rent as in Brooklyn Heights or Long Island City.

Survey: NYC millennials find low-quality landlords, and broker fees worst parts of the rental process Finding that perfect apartment takes a lot of steps before becoming a reality, and one recent survey examines what exactly goes through New Yorkers’ minds when searching for a place to call home. AppFolio, a property management software company, has released the results of a survey conducted last month on residential renting trends in New York City and San Francisco.

Broker blues The New York City survey, which included responses from 2,552 individuals, found that one in three prospective renters — with 38.8 percent of millennials agreeing — said the worst part of the rental process was narrowed down to dealing with broker fees — which got 31.4 percent of the votes; then came low-quality landlords; and filling out paperwork. Surprisingly when it came

to the older demographic, over 65 years old, just one in four thought low-quality landlords were the worst part of the rental process, with 8.3 percent calling broker fees the worst. “With New York City representing one of the largest housing markets both nationally and globally, we set out to gain a better understanding of the renters living in this major metropolitan area,” said Nat Kunes, vice president of product management at AppFolio.

sites; while 34.5 percent said they’d look at between one and three locations. When it came to millennials — between 18 and 24 years old — 45.8 percent say they tend to look at between three and six locations before making their decision.

Amenable to amenities The survey also asked renters what they saw as the most acceptable reason for an increase in rent and what would cause them to consider moving. For acceptable reasons for rent increase, 30.2 percent of

participants said they think better maintenance is a good reason — with 47.6 percent of millennials agreeing —and 22.9 percent said new amenities would be acceptable for increasing rent. However, 40.6 percent of renters said the top reason to consider moving would be rent going up.

The cost of staying put Participants were also asked how much more they would be willing to pay — measured in percentage of their current rent — to stay in their apartments. More than half of the renters, 51.9 percent, said they would pay between 1 percent and 5 percent. Only

Communication Lastly, when it came to dealing with a property manager during the rental process, 37.6 percent of participants — with 46.5 percent of millennials — expect communication either online or by text, not just online rent collection, online applications and virtual tours.

3.3 percent of New Yorkers said they would give up more than 11 percent. When the same question was examined in regard to renters’ incomes, 40.8 percent making less than $25,000 said they would pay between 1 and 5 percent to stay at their current home, while 64 percent making between $25,000 and $49,999 said they would pay between 1 and 5 percent.

“This data provides a clearer view of the preferences and frustrations within the NYC renter community and their current living situations, which in turn educates property managers about their customers so they can more effectively market, manage and grow their businesses,” Kunes said.

The following month on May 24, the suspect entered Broadway Stages at 44 Eagle St. and took an iPhone 6, which belonged to a 31-year-old woman who had left the phone unattended on a table, according to cops. On May 30 the suspect entered 61 Greenpoint Ave. and stole a Cannon camera, iPad and MacBook Pro from a desk bench inside an unlocked room, police said.Â

Three suicide bombers opened fire before blowing themselves up in the main international airport in Istanbul on Tuesday, killing at least 36 people and wounding dozens more, the provincial governor and witnesses said. Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin told reporters that 31 people had been killed and around 60 wounded. Several witnesses reported two explosions but Sahin said authorities believed there may have been three

suicide bombers. A Turkish official said the vast majority of those killed were Turkish nationals but foreigners were also among the dead. “There was a huge explosion, extremely loud. The roof came down. Inside the airport it is terrible, you can’t recognize it, the damage is big,” said Ali Tekin, who was at the arrivals hall waiting for a guest when the attack took place. A German woman named Duygu, who was at passport control entering Turkey, said she threw herself onto the floor with the sound of the explosion. Several witnesses also reported hearing gunfire shortly before the attacks. “Everyone started running away. Every-

where was covered with blood and body parts. I saw bullet holes on the doors,” she said outside the airport. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest in a string of suicide bombings in Turkey this year, but the Dogan news agency said initial indications suggested Islamic State may have been responsible, citing police sources. A Turkish official said it was too soon to assign blame. The attack bore some similarities to a suicide bombing by Islamic State militants at Brussels Airport in March which killed 16 people. A coordinated attack also targeted a rush-hour metro train, killing a further 16 people in the Belgian capital. REUTERS

BRIEF Cruz chairs contentious Senate hearing on ‘radical Islam’ Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Obama administration of underemphasizing the “threat of radical Islam” as he presided over a Senate hearing for the second time since suspending his presidential campaign in early May. President Barack Obama and top Justice Department officials have come under fire from conservatives for avoiding the term

“radical Islam” when denouncing attacks by violent extremists who claim inspiration from Islamic State, such as the Orlando nightclub shooter. Administration officials have countered that focusing on the use of the phrase is a political distraction and gives fuel to Islamic State propagandists who say the United States has waged war against all of Islam. Absent from Tuesday’s hearing before a subcommittee of the

Senate Judiciary Committee were the two top Justice Department counter-terrorism officials whom Cruz had invited to testify. “The Obama administration of course has declined to appear and explain its policies,” Cruz said at the hearing, noting that the officials had not provided any reason for staying away. Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi said in an emailed statement that the department is “focused on aggressively and

successfully pursuing terrorist adversaries” and on denying them “unchallenged recruiting platforms to spread their messages of hate and intolerance.” Democratic members of the subcommittee said national security policies more targeted at Muslims, such as presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s call for a ban on Muslim immigrants, would be unconstitutional and counterproductive.

U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan said details about the alleged attackers in the November 2014 article by Sabrina Rubin Erdely were “too vague and remote” to make readers believe that the plaintiffs George Elias IV, Ross Fowler and Stephen Hadford had a role in the alleged rape. “In the plaintiffs’ own words, ‘any apparent connection between the plaintiffs and the allegations is an [unfortunate] coincidence,’” Castel wrote. He added that the plaintiffs had no connection to the rape described in the article, and were not named there. Alan Frank, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said his clients will review their

options, including a possible appeal. A lawyer for the defendants declined to comment. The plaintiffs all graduated in 2013 and had been members of Phi Kappa Psi, the fraternity at the center of Erdely’s article, “A Rape on Campus.” Rolling Stone apologized in December 2014 for what it called “discrepancies” in the article, which described an attack on a woman identified as Jackie, after it had sparked a national debate over sexual violence on college campuses. A probe by police in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the university is located, found no evidence that Jackie had been gang-raped. Managing Editor Will Dana, who helped edit Erdely’s article, later resigned. A review by the Columbia University journalism school commissioned by Rolling Stone faulted the magazine for reporting and editing lapses. REUTERS

BRIEFS Police: Victims injured in shooting in downtown Denver Police were responding to a shooting in downtown Denver on Tuesday and said victims were being transported to area hospitals.

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer New York City - Everyone has said it at one time or another. If I had only known about “this” sooner - things would be very different today. That’s what many knee arthritis pain sufferers are saying about this technology and treatment. “We all know that countless lives are being saved every year because of early detection and better treatment ” noted the clinic director at the NY Pain MD in New York City. “The same holds true for treating arthritis pain. I believe we are having so much success at NY Pain MD because of two factors: One is we are using advanced medical technology and treatments a lot of clinics do not use. And second, the word has spread to our community and so many knee arthritis sufferers are coming in sooner. And the earlier we can treat knee arthritis the better the results. The key to trying to avoid knee replacement surgery is doing the correct treatment as soon as possibly” What is the “correct treatment?” “That depends,” said the director. “There is no one answer when it comes to medical conditions. nee arthritis is no different. That’s why, if you have knee pain, you should have it evaluated by a doctor who deals with and treats knee pain every day,” added the director. For many knee arthritis pain sufferers the right treatment is iscosupplementation a preparation of Hyaluronic acid is applied directly into the knee joint using Precision Arthritis Targeting Technology. Hyaluronic acid is the natural lubricant and shock absorber of your joints and is found to be decreased in arthritis sufferers. This is similar to running your without oil. Obviously, the sooner you put oil back in the car - the less damage will be done. That’s why some doctors feel early vis cosupplementation gets the best results and is so important for avoiding surgery.

requiring months of rehabilitation. Some doctors think modern treatments done early enough can keep baby boomers from going under the knife.

Can This Be Avoided? Total knee replacement is serious surgery

Pain - he red is a knee joint with painful osteoarthritis. With progressive "drying out", arthritis causes the joint space to decrease and an array of symptoms which may include grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.

“If you have knee arthritis pain, viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure precision arthritis targeting is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.”

The director believes one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space precisely. That’s why the doctors at NY Pain MD use advanced imaging technology to apply Precision Arthritis Targeting during every treatment. A device called the "C-Arm" allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the medicine be applied exactly where it is supposed to. Research shows that performing procedures without Precision Arthritis Targeting (P.A.T.T.)can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation treatments without Presision Arthritis Targeting Technology and did not get good results - this may be why.

Doctors say these two factors are the keys to knee arthritis treatment success and relieving pain without surgery

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other treatments like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. This is because our treating doctors always use “Precision Arthritis Targeting Technology”. This allows us to place the Viscosupplementation exactly where is needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without technology can miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” noted the Director of Center

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without Results...

No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much different. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements to do what this advanced medical procedure does.

Can Supplements Do The Same Thing?

Viscosupplementation allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

When introduced directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Republican-led panel accuses Clinton State Department of Benghazi lapses In an 800-page report that Democrats derided as a political vendetta, Republicans said Clinton and her staff showed a “shameful� lack of response to congressional investigators looking into the attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

7

Congressional Republicans on Tuesday accused Hillary Clinton’s State Department of failing to protect four Americans killed in a 2012 attack in Libya, in a final report that contained no major new revelations but reignited debate on the presidential campaign trail. The report, the culmination of a two-year investigation, is likely to be the last official attempt to investigate the attack. Seven other congressional committees have also investigated the attack on the U.S. diplomatic and CIA posts in Benghazi. The latest investigation, led by Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, has been used by Republicans to question

Hillary Clinton

Clinton’s national-security credentials. Opinion polls have shown Americans deeply split along partisan lines over the probe. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has repeatedly charged that Clinton is personally responsible for deaths of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans killed by militia groups in the September 2012 incident. Clinton’s campaign dismissed the report as a partisan effort to derail her candidacy, arguing that the committee had not found anything that had not been discovered by previous congressional probes. In a statement, Clin-

ton spokesman Brian Fallon accused the committee of trying to “politicize the deaths of four brave Americans� in an effort to attack the Obama administration and Clinton. Clinton, speaking in Denver, Colorado, said it was crucial to “learn the right lessons� from the Benghazi tragedy. “No one has thought more about or lost more sleep over the lives that we lost — the four Americans — which was devastating,� she said. Trump’s campaign had no immediate comment, but Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Clinton’s actions as secretary of state were “disqualifying.� “Hillary Clinton was in charge, knew the risks and did nothing� to protect personnel on the ground in Libya, he said. At a news conference on Capitol Hill, Gowdy, chairman of the special congressional panel, said there was a disconnect between the violence unfolding in Benghazi and the perception among top Obama administration officials that “the fighting had subsided� at the U.S. diplomatic compound.

assaults on key cities in Iraq and Syria, but U.S. lawmakers criticized the progress as too slow. Brett McGurk testified at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that morale is falling within the militant group as it loses territory. But he said efforts to find a political solution were making little progress and could not predict an end to fighting as long as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained in power. “So long as Assad is leading the government in Damascus there is no way this war will ever end,” McGurk said. The conflict between U.S.-backed armed groups and Assad’s government, supported by Russia and Iran, has

complicated the fight against Islamic State amid a massive humanitarian crisis. Iraqi forces recently entered the Islamic State bastion of Falluja just west of Baghdad, and were pushing north toward Mosul, by far the biggest city that Islamic State controls. In Syria, U.S.-backed forces were closing in on the militant stronghold of Manbij, and Assad’s Russian-backed army has advanced into the province surrounding the de facto Islamic State capital Raqqa. McGurk said completion of the operation against Manbij would create conditions to move on Raqqa. And he said planning was under way for a campaign to liberate Mosul. REUTERS

All the ‘Bachelorette’ contestants are cheaters — apparently

TayTom has drawn the ire of Calvin Harris This is what happens when you date Taylor Swift: Even a dapper British thespian whose most recent film was a J.G. Ballard adaptation can become a tabloid magnet. Hot off the brutally bleak “HighRise,” Tom Hiddleston decided it’d be a capital idea to date Taylor Swift. Since then, a justly acclaimed actor has not just been reduced to demeaning couple names. (“TayTom!” “Swiddleston!”) He’s been the center of staged makeout sessions by the beach and breathlessly reported bits about meeting her mom. And now he’s enraged no less than Calvin Harris. The Swift ex is right pissed that the actor already met the parents, and can

you believe she always refused to meet his? Harris even clumsily backed his car into a brick wall when hounded by a paparazzo. This must be a brand new world for a gentleman who looks like Leslie Howard of “Gone With the Wind,” but maybe it was all part of his cunning scheme: cavort with one of the world’s flashiest objects, and perhaps people will finally watch his poorly-received Hank Williams biopic “I Saw the Light.”

“Bachelorette” bad-boy Chad Johnson always has something to say. This time he’s stirring up drama with his latest claim on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show — that the other men on the ABC drama are cheating on their girlfriends. After chatting about his alleged ’roid-rage (“People think I’m this violent, crazy person who, like, hurts women or something like that”) and his thoughts on Bachelorette Jojo Fletcher (“I mean — looks-wise—she’s my type”), Chad reminded us that he really is a “nice guy.” Compared to the other guys, that is. “At the end of the day, half these guys are cheating on their girlfriends, half of them broke up with girlfriends to be on the show,” Johnson told Cohen. But, don’t worry, good-guy Chad would never consider that: “I’m the only one with an actual real reason for coming on the show — to meet somebody.” Cohen — and the rest of America — couldn’t be more skeptical. Whatever you say, Chad.

But it’s what I was given, so I just tried to do the best I could with it.” The 66-year-old continues, saying, “My life was distraction after distraction after distraction,” she added. “Being a macho male was a way for me to try to convince myself that the woman living inside of me really isn’t living inside me.

Cynthia Nixon gets close with son Christopher Abbott in “James White.� THE FILM ARCADE

Donnie Yen gets ready to kick some butt in “Ip Man 3,� about the legendary martial artist. WELL GO USA

As Charlie on “Girls,� Christopher Abbott is reserved and emotionally remote. In “James White,� the actor is volatile, onthe-skids, impressively anguished. Abbott plays a self-destructive rich kid whose life is rocky even before his mom (Cynthia Nixon) learns that her cancer has come back with a vengeance. Both actors are great, and director James Mond is their equal. Grabbing the same acrobatic cinematographer who shot the Oscar-winning Holocaust grinder “Son of Saul,� he trains his camera on his wounded anti-hero, never letting him leave the frame, sketching every step of his stumble toward a kind of redemption.

There are gobs of ďŹ lms about Ip Man, the martial arts god most known for training Bruce Lee. (We most recommend Wong Kar-wai’s phantasmagoric/ melancholic “The Grandmaster.â€?) Of these, the three ďŹ lms starring Donnie Yen are the trashiest; the second one is basically a remake of “Rocky IV.â€? They don’t have much truth to them, as the real Ip’s life was comparatively boring. But don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. The third one features its share of galvanizing smackdowns, though it’s the look at Ip’s relationship with his sweet, dying wife that makes this more than a tall tale that prints a legend ďŹ lled with fun lies.

Melissa Etheridge on active activism The singersongwriter explains the origin of her Orlando-dedicated song, “Pulse.” RACHEL RACZKA @rachelraczka

rachel.raczka@metro.us

Melissa Etheridge calls in from Keene, New Hampshire, following the kickoff of her summer tour. The two-time Grammy winner with megahits like “Come to My Window” and “I’m the Only One,” is also known for her activism. Etheridge released “Pulse,” a song dedicated to the victims of the Orlando shooting, just days after the massacre, with all proceeds going to an LGBT charity. She wrote, recorded and released the song in a matter of days, providing a source of comfort and expression for not only herself, but the thousands who have streamed the song. She chats about the song, her tour and how she fell into the surprising role of an activist. Can we start by talking about “Pulse”? How did the song come to

be so quickly? I didn’t even think, at first, “Oh, I need to write a song.” I was more like, “I just want to play my guitar.” I picked up my guitar in New York and then I thought I’d write a song for myself, but then I called my good friend and bandmate Jerry Wonda to see if we could get some studio time. He cleared his schedule and it was such a labor of beautiful love. Seeing it take off the way it did has really humbled me. I’m so grateful to be of service. Did you think at any specific point in your musical career, “I’m an activist now, too”? I always say I’m the least active activist I know, because I never took to the street. I’ve marched in a couple marches, but I’m not out on the front line. I’m a figure to people like you, who have a horn to blow and can write words that many people will listen to; and if you ask the questions, I’ll answer them. That’s my activism: my willingness to open my heart and say the truth. That’s what changes hearts and minds the most. I

encourage everyone to be that kind of activist. Unrelated, but important: Where did the idea for your cannabis wine, No Label, come from? The idea came from a thousand years ago. [Laughs] It’s not anything new; herbal infusions have been happening forever. But prohibitions have driven cannabis underground and I found that wine through friends at a dispensary that was doing it. I was like, “This needs to be brought to the world,” and here we go. Of course, I’m in the most difficult business industry in the world right now because it’s like quicksand. Rules and regulations are constantly being changed. But that’s how it goes!

“Swiss Army Man” — in which Paul Dano’s stranded sad sack befriends an increasingly sentient farting corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) — gets pretty weird. It hits theaters Friday. A24

How to make a sincere 10 farting corpse movie Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — aka Daniels — think of “Swiss Army Man” as more than a joke. MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

It’s important to know one thing about Daniels — that is, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who made “Swiss Army Man,” aka the Sundance movie in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a farting corpse who also has a giant boner that can be used as a compass. “We don’t like fart jokes, and we don’t think boners are that funny,” Kwan says. “That we made a movie about farts and boners when we ourselves don’t like farts and boners feels like some strange therapy.” And their feature debut has a lot of farting. Granted, most of it is relegated to the first 20 minutes. Paul Dano plays a sad sack trapped on a deserted island. He’s about to hang himself when he finds a corpse washed ashore. Suddenly the dead body, essayed by no less than Daniel Radcliffe, starts farting — and farting, and farting, and farting. Soon it starts slowly coming back to life, prompting the two to bond in a way that’s both touching and still relentlessly scatological and lowbrow. “I love taking things that we hate and other people hate and we know we should be repulsed by, and then infus-

ing them with something beautiful and transcendent and inspiring,” Kwan explains. “I think there’s something really important about that kind of thinking — the ability to take something you hate and should not love and relating with it, forcing yourself to find out what it is about this thing that is wonderful.” Of course, it’s still a movie about a farting corpse played by Harry Potter. Kwan and Scheinert — who prefer to be called “Daniels,” no definitive article, and have already made their name on acclaimed music videos and shorts — still see it as an elaborate joke that spiraled out of control. The more it came together as a real film with real stars, the better the joke became. “It wasn’t just about the final product. The process was funny to us: the fact that we would have to go to meetings with billionaires and pitch this movie to them,” Kwan says. “We never intended

GETTY IMAGES

it to be performance art, but now, looking back at it, it sort of was.” “We sort of tricked Robert Redford into inviting us to the Sundance Labs and helping us make this script better,” Scheinert says, laughing at the absurdity of it all. And yet they mean it, too. “Swiss Army Man” indeed becomes moving, but never maudlin or saccharine. It even becomes about existential dread and the strangeness of living. In fact, looking at a different side of farting was how it grew from a creatively dumb idea (a farting corpse movie) into something more. “We were talking about how you s— yourself when you die, and farts are just you decomposing,” Scheinert recalls. But back to that idea of embracing what you hate, Kwan says he agrees with certain commentators that say “Swiss Army Man” represents a new form of sincerity: one that’s self-aware but not cynical. “The pessimism that comes from postmodernism is exhausting,” Kwan says. “We want to be fully exposed and sincere and find something beautiful in things. But we’re also self-aware, and we’re not allowed to do that. So finding something that allows us to do both is our goal with our stories. “[The movie] is a joke, but we also 100 percent mean it,” he adds. “The more we mean it, the funnier the joke becomes.”

More than 1 million U.S. homes have solar panels as of 2016, according to EnergySage’s Solar Marketplace Intel Report. That’s up from 30,000 in 2006. ISTOCK

Solar side perks When it comes to saving on electricity bills, multifamily units are the biggest solar powerhouses. Southworth’s own building in Brooklyn has enjoyed the financial benefits as well as some neighborly perks. “It all came down to dollars and cents — we wanted to create income for our building as if it were a storefront,” he says. “What I didn’t expect is the effect it had on us socially — it pulled us closer together and created deeper friendships. Now, we’re living in sync with our values.”

Reasons to consider solar panels

Because that air conditioning bill isn’t going to pay itself.

MONICA WEYMOUTH @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

It’s that time of year. The time when you avoid making eye contact with your electricity bill for as long as possible, hoping the numbers will sort themselves out after a month of sweet, sweet air conditioning. Alternative energy starting to sound like a good idea? We checked in with the experts, who explained why homeowners might want to consider going off the grid with solar panels.

Solar’s gone mainstream Gone are the days when solar panels were strictly for early adopters and tree huggers. “It’s not a hippie-dippie thing anymore,” says consultant McGowan Southworth, co-founder of Brooklyn Power. “Solar panels are now a standard choice for your house that can give you significant advantages over the alternatives. The technology is really robust — it’s been

tested for 30-plus years, it saves you money, it gives you independence.” Not all roofs are created equal — shading from trees or neighboring buildings can decrease productivity — but on average, Southworth estimates that a typical row house can save $1,700-$2,000 a year, while a 16-unit co-op with no elevator saves roughly $10,000 annually.

Minimal maintenance Solar panels can, if not properly installed, cause leaks and other problems for your roof. But if they’re up to code, you’re looking at a smooth ride, even on the temperamental East Coast. “Solar panels are rated for high winds and snow loads,” says Ben Mayer, vice president for residential systems at Boston-based SunBug Solar. “Every system SunBug installs is certified and stamped by an independent structural engineer, so we know every system is as safe as possible. Even the least expensive, commoditylevel solar panes come with a 25-year power output warranty from the manufacturers.”

Insurance concerns Considering solar panels? Make sure you get in touch with your insurance company before adding pricey assets to your roof, whether you’re buying or renting the panels. “If you have solar panels, you want to let your agent know,” says Jim Hyatt, vice president of personal lines at Arbella Insurance. “With $15,000 of panels on the roof, make sure those are properly covered. We’re seeing this more and more, and it’s important to understand your coverage.”

Improved aesthetics Today’s solar panels are less obtrusive than a satellite dish. They’ve learned to play nice with roof decks and are beginning to sneak into windows, where they’re all but invisible. “Generally speaking, most of the panels you don’t even see,” says Southworth. “Roofs are a new frontier both as hangouts and as utility spaces, so integrating design is something we really care about.”

NBA free agency routinely turns into a high school dance, where only the popular kids (or teams) survive. For this reason, it’s most likely that Kevin Durant will either re-sign with the Thunder or will help create an extremely unfair superteam in Golden State. OKC and the Warriors are cool destinations right now — the only reason being that they went far in the playoffs this past season. The Thunder and Warriors are the cool kids. Despite being franchises rich with history, the Knicks and Celtics — meanwhile — are basically Billy Madison at the lunch table. They can’t figure out why no one listens to REO Speedwagon anymore and there are plenty of empty seats surrounding them. Fortunately for New York and Boston, though, reputations in the NBA change in a heartbeat. The Knicks are suddenly relevant again thanks to the Derrick Rose trade. They now have three players on their roster that players across the league respect. The Celtics have one of the top young rosters in the league and have, arguably, the most amount of flexibility of any team in the league. If Durant wants to play with Al Horford, which he has said he does in the past, the Celtics can sign Horford this summer no problem. If Durant wants the Celtics to make a big trade for one of his buddies already under contract to another team, the Celtics are armed with enough assets to make most any deal possible. They also have a coach who is thought of in basketball circles as the next Gregg Popovich. That doesn’t hurt. A look at the odds of Durant’s potential landing spots. Thunder (9-5) It makes the most basketball sense and most financial sense for Durant to sign a one-year deal with OKC. Warriors (5-1) Sure, he’ll guarantee himself a title — but the critics will accuse him of being a Larry O’Brien Trophy gold digger. Spurs (6-1) No matter what he would do here, he’d never equal Tim Duncan status because he wouldn’t be the architect of the dynasty.

MATT BURKE OPINION Matt Burke is the National Sports Editor and a columnist at Metro US. Follow him on Twitter @burke_metro

Celtics (7-1) Danny Ainge has been unable to land a star player through a trade in the past couple of years and Ainge absolutely must make that happen to get Durant to even think about Boston. Knicks (8-1) Being an immortal in New York is on a whole different level of immortality. Bringing the Knicks their first NBA title in 44 years? The words “God” and/or “Jeter” would not do it justice. Heat (10-1) What’s the point of doing the same thing LeBron did? And are the Heat really that close to title contention anymore? Clippers (15-1) The Clippers would have to ship out more than a few guys to make it work. Could get messy.

Farewell, Pat The ending of the Pat Summitt story was terribly sad. Summitt, who had been battling Alzheimer’s for five years, died Tuesday morning at the age of 64. Her brilliant career, in which she helped raise the prominence of women’s basketball to unheard of levels, was cut short as she stepped down from coaching in 2012. Earlier this year, her 25-yearold son Tyler resigned from his post as the head coach of the women’s basketball program

at Louisiana Tech due to a sex scandal. Tyler is said to have slept with one of his players, and he may have even gotten the player in question pregnant. If mom Summitt was still able to process such things, that’s a hell of a thing to be forced to think about in your waning days. Summitt’s rivalry with UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma was outstanding. The hatred between the two was palpable and they would often spar through the media. It was strong Southern woman vs. brash Northeast man. It was Hillary vs. Trump before Hillary vs. Trump. “If I ever spoke out like Geno is speaking out, my dad would probably take me behind the barn and get out the tobacco stick,” Summitt said in 2003 following an Auriemma antiTennessee rant. On Tuesday, former Tennessee and UConn stars, as well as Auriemma, waxed poetically about “the good ol’ days” of women’s college basketball. Unfortunately, those days don’t seem to be coming back. Summitt exits this Earth at a time when the women’s game is trending in the absolute wrong direction. TV ratings for the women’s college basketball tournament have plummeted in recent years. The national title game from this year was down 33.6 percent from two years ago and the first two rounds of the tournament garnered an average of 343,000 viewers (according to AwfulAnnouncing.com). ESPN didn’t even bother to send announcers to many of those games, opting to have them call the games from a studio instead of paying travel costs. In addition, the WNBA has remarkably ugly attendance figures (Phoenix LED the league in attendance last year with an average of 9,946 fans per game) and painfully poor TV ratings. The HIGHEST rated WNBA game last year drew a 0.3 TV rating (average of 505,000 viewers). For reference, the recent Copa America men’s soccer tournament was getting ratings in the 2.0s. The NBA Finals routinely gets 11.0 ratings (28 million viewers). Even pro wrestling routinely gets a 3.0 weekly rating. The sport of women’s basketball is in a bad place. It’s truly a shame that Pat Summitt isn’t around anymore to help save it.
