(AP) — University of California President Janet Napolitano has selected Carol T. Christ to become the next chancellor of UC Berkeley and the first woman to serve in the position.
In a statement Monday, Napolitano’s office says the UC governing board will vote on the nomination Thursday.
Christ, a Victorian literature scholar, spent more than 30 years at Berkeley in a variety of positions ranging from professor and chair of the English department to dean. She served as the president of Smith College from 2002 to 2013 before returning to Berkeley, where she is currently provost and interim executive vic...
The 72-year-old Christ would replace Nicholas Dirks, who resigned last August after critics alleged he was too lenient when handling sexual harassment cases involving several faculty members.
Liam Neeson’s Korean War drama “Operation Chromite” debuted on top of the box office in Korea, earning $18.47 million Wednesday and Sunday.
The CJ Entertainment release stars Neeson and Korea’s Lee Jung-jae and focuses on a 24-hour, life-and-death mission ‘X-Ray’ led by MacArthur and eight Korean operatives.
Previous week’s winner, Yeon Sang-ho’s “Train to Busan,” slipped to second. Representing a weekly drop of 54.7%, the zombie thriller earned $11.09 million from 1.45 million admissions between Friday and Sunday and extended its total to $61.05 million from 8.4 million admissions.
Opening on the same day with “Chromite,” UPI’s “Jason Bourne” landed in third, earning $11.37 million from 1.54 million admissions over opening five days. The picture scored 308,400 admissions on the opening day alone, making it the largest opening of all “Bourne” series in Korea, as well as actor Matt Damon’s best ope...

Investment in the UK auto industry has halved because of concerns that Brexit could cripple carmakers and force them to close factories.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said Tuesday that investment in new models, equipment and facilities in the United Kingdom was £347 million ($460 million) in the first half of the year, compared to £647 million ($860 million) in the same period of 2017.
The dramatic decline underscores fears that customs checks resulting from Britain's departure from the European Union could hold up parts shipments needed to keep auto factories running smoothly.
BMW, which makes the iconic Mini at a factory near Oxford, warned on Monday that delays would result in plant closures.
"We always said we can do our best and prepare everything, but if at the end of the day the supply chain will have a stop at the border, then we cannot produce our products in the United Kingdom," BMW customs manager Stephan Freismuth told the Financial Times.
A spokesperson for the German company confirmed the accuracy of the comments, but said that BMW (BMWYY) remained committed to its manufacturing operations in Britain as it works through "a range of possible Brexit outcomes and their potential impact on our business."
"Clearly if parts cannot physically get to a factory at the expected time, that factory will not run as smoothly and reliably as is desirable," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Big businesses are beginning to go public with stark warnings about the dire consequences of a messy Brexit as the clock ticks down to March 2019.
Airbus (EADSF) said last week that it could be forced to quit the country if there's no deal on EU trading arrangements. Earlier in June, the head of Britain's top business lobby group said the country's car industry could be wiped out.
"If we do not have a customs union, there are sectors of manufacturing society in the UK which risk becoming extinct," said Paul Drechsler, president of the Confederation of British Industry. "That is the reality."
Car manufacturers, which rely on complicated global supply chains, are worried that Brexit will lead to new trade barriers and delays at the borders. About 45% of the cars made in Britain are exported to the European Union.
BMW employs 8,000 people in the United Kingdom, its fourth largest market. Nissan (NSANF), Toyota (TM), Honda (HMC) and Jaguar Land Rover also have major production facilities in Britain.
There are just over nine months to go before Brexit, but Britain has not yet secured a deal that eliminates the risk that goods will be subject to checks at the border, or even import tariffs.
The British government has yet to agree a proposal for how to avoid customs checks at the UK-EU border, let alone win EU approval.
SMMT said it wanted "swifter progress on Brexit and a deal that, as a minimum, maintains customs union membership and delivers single market benefits."
Avoiding delays at the border is particularly crucial for auto manufacturers, which rely on the timely delivery of parts from across the European Union. According to SMMT, more than 1,100 trucks bring components to Britain from the European Union each day.
"Our message to government is that until it can demonstrate exactly how a new model for customs and trade with the EU can replicate the benefits we currently enjoy, don't change it," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said in a statement.
Nearly half of EU business executives have already reduced investment in the United Kingdom following the Brexit referendum in June 2016, according to a survey published Monday by law firm Baker McKenzie. Some 46% of respondents have already seen disruptions to their supply chains.
The 24-year-old Jones played at Tulsa and was not drafted after going 12 of 16 on field goals and 44 of 45 on extra point tries as a senior in 2017.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears said Monday they had signed kicker Redford Jones.
There is wide speculation that the Bears will part with Cody Parkey, who missed 11 kicks in his first season in Chicago. That included a 43-yard attempt, partially blocked, that would have beaten Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs.

BACK FROM CHURCH, DIES FROM POISON; Bond Broker Meets Death in His Apartment After Lunch With a Friend. LONELY BACHELOR A SUICIDE George Baxter, 50, Found Dead in Forest Hills, Leaving Note Advising Youths to Wed.
Earlier this month, a few weeks before his team’s March 15 match with then top-ranked Penn State in the Walter Pyramid, Long Beach State men’s volleyball coach Alan Knipe got a telephone call from a reporter for the Penn State student newspaper.
“He wanted to know what we were doing to `prepare’ for the match (with the Nittany Lions),” Knipe said Monday afternoon, chuckling.
Perhaps a little extra preparation might have helped the 49ers during a match that PSU eventually pulled out in five games.
And, who knows? Maybe the third-ranked 49ers, 19-3 overall and in first place, at 14-2, in the MPSF, will get another pop at the Nittany Lions during the NCAA Championship semifinals or final at UC Irvine on May 1 and 3.
But, when you’re trying to win one of the most powerhouse of conferences in any NCAA sport, a coach’s priorities don’t lean toward nonconference competition, even when it might be against the best team in the country.
The Anteaters, the defending MPSF and national champions, play host to the 49ers on Thursday night.
And then it’s a Saturday night match in the Walter Pyramid against the UCLA Bruins.
The tangible prize that goes along with being the MPSF regular-season champion is the right to play host to the MPSF semifinals and final.
And the MPSF tournament winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship semifinals.
But thinking that far down the road doesn’t fit into the scheme of things for Knipe’s program.
“This conference is too good to look ahead to anything but your next match,” he said.
The Big West Conference softball coaches, in their preseason balloting, projected Kim Sowder’s Long Beach State team to finish third behind Cal Poly and Cal State Fullerton.
With conference play scheduled to begin this weekend, does anyone else think some of the Big West coaches would like to recast their ballots?
The 49ers, behind the power pitching 1-2 punch of freshman Brooke Turner (14-4, 0.56 earned-run average) and sophomore Bridgette Pagano (10-5 and .243), will take a 24-9 record into their conference-opening action at UC Davis Saturday.
Only two other Big West teams (UC Irvine doesn’t field a team) have better than .500 records, UCSB (15-12) and CSF (16-15).
I can’t recall a college basketball season in which officials have come under more heat for calls or noncalls.
Granted, officials foul up calls on occasion, just as coaches make recruiting, tactical or ethical miscues, players make bonehead plays, on and off the court, and media members, every once in a while, report something incorrectly or display a general lack of understanding of the sport they are writing about.
Guess what, though: If every play in a basketball game were subjected to the kind of video/digital examination and second-guessing that some late-game calls (or non-calls) have gotten this season, maybe more people would realize that foul-ups happen throughout the course of a game . . . not just in the closing seconds.
But they don’t “decide” as many games as some probably assume.
And I’ll give conference commissioners and directors of officiating the benefit of a doubt that when their referees are missing calls too often, they’re not assigned as many, or any, games after that determination is made.
I wish DirecTV would hire me next year to go around the country and give interviews promoting its “Mega March Madness” NCAA Tournament “watch every game” package, like it did Bob Knight this season.
I’ll do it for half of what he was paid to do it.
That thing is indispensable. I can’t imagine experiencing the first, second and third rounds of the tournament being held at the mercy of whatever CBS wanted to show me at a given moment.
I was fortunate enough to have watched, in person, two of the best (or, at least, most entertaining) half-dozen first- and second-round games Saturday evening in the Honda Center.
Western Kentucky 101, Drake 99 (Ty Rogers’ mega-deep 3 winning it at the buzzer in overtime); San Diego 70, Connecticut 69 (De’Jon Jackson’s jumper over 6-9 Stanley Robinson with a second to go in OT bags it for the West Coast Conference team); Davidson 82, Gonzaga 76 (Stephen Curry scores 30 of his tournament-best 40 ...
The Century Club and Long Beach State athletic department will co-host an NCAA Tournament championship game “viewing party,” with 49ers coach Dan Monson and his staff, on April 7 in the private dining room of Legends on Second Street.
The cost for Century Club and 49er Athletic Club members is $49, with the price at $65 for non-members.
The price includes a dinner buffet and all of the insightful commentary that Monson, Vic Couch, Rod Palmer, Eric Brown and Scott Coopman will ably provide.
To sign up, contact Pat West at (562) 985-4662 and pwest@csulb.edu.
I’d be there, if not for the fact that I have courtside business to attend to that night in the San Antonio Alamodome.
