CHILDREN IN NEED OF CARE

County sets record for number of kids in state custody for additional increases.

In addition, recently passed legislation may make matters even worse for the DCF. At the end of both October and November, an all-time-high of 170 children were in DCF

custody within Douglas County, according to the most recent statistics available on the department’s website.

The peak numbers are a sharp increase from the average of 85 children in DCF custody recorded five years ago.

Currently, Diana Frederick, executive director of Douglas County’s CASA, said her organization is serving more than 90 of the children in DCF custody in Douglas County.

About this series “Children in Need of Care” is a series looking at children who are in the custody of the state of Kansas, and how recently approved state

But “One Dream,” as the celebration was rebranded last year, also looks ahead — to a new generation of activists, and to a better understanding of history and the lesser-known figures who contributed to King’s storied vision.

Children CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The organization works to help children in the custody of the state, in part using volunteers to meet with the children regularly and make recommendations to the court in each child’s best interest.

Not only is Douglas County’s CASA serving a record number of children, but nearly as many are still waiting for help, Frederick said.

“Right now, we have more than 80 kids on our waiting list for a CASA volunteer,” she said. “We are in desperate need of volunteers to be advocates for children, and the need is likely to just increase.”

Frederick said she took over Douglas County’s CASA in 2008, and since then the number of children in need of care has more than doubled.

“My first year as director, we served 66 kids and basically had a CASA volunteer for every child that needed one,” she said. “Last year, we served 142 kids.”

In addition, the climbing number of children in need of care in Douglas County and across the state could be exacerbated by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act, Frederick said.

That measure was

DIANA FREDERICK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DOUGLAS COUNTY’S CASA, says the organization is serving more than 90 of the children in Douglas County who are currently in the custody of the Kansas Department for Children and Families. enacted in 2016, but has not yet been fully implemented. One goal of the legislation is to divert lower-risk juvenile offenders away from correctional facilities in favor of in-home services. The savings accumulated from the shifts are then meant to help fund those inhome services.

The act also stipulates, however, that courts may refer juveniles to the DCF in certain situations.

Kathy Armstrong, DCF’s assistant director for legal services, testified in March 2016 that those referrals could be-

come “potentially duplicative and cumbersome” to the department.

Frederick said she could not discuss the legislation’s potential impact at length, but did acknowledge the act could produce “a big jump in the number of child in need of care cases. So we will definitely be watching it very closely.”

While parts of the Juvenile Justice Reform Act were supposed to be in place by Jan. 1, Randy Bowman, director of communitybased services for the Kansas Department of Corrections said in late

December the KDOC asked for an extra month or two to “fully vet through policy issues” so they and the Kansas Office of Judicial Administration could make recommendations to state agencies.

Similar to Douglas County, the state of Kansas hit an all-time high of 6,911 children in custody in October, according to DCF statistics available on the department’s website. Although that figure fell to 6,846 in November, October’s high water mark is an increase from the monthly average of 5,182 children in DCF cus-

In part, the DCF attributes the statewide increases to a “breakdown of family” and an increase of substance abuse issues within homes, said Theresa Freed, the department’s communications director.

“When you have parents absent from the home, it can create greater stresses on the parent,” she said.

Additional DCF statistics show lack of supervision and physical neglect have increased seven percent over the past five years as cited reasons for removing children from their families.

Of the children in DCF custody, about 60 percent are placed with a family foster home, 33 percent are placed with a relative, and about six percent are placed in a group home or residential care, Freed said.

Frederick said her CASA location is just one of 23 in Kansas. The Kansas CASA Association, which oversees each location, has a legislative committee that will, in the near future, meet to discuss potential impacts of the Juvenile Justice Reform Act. “Until the legislative committee has a chance to meet, they’re going to monitor the act and see what happens,” she said.

Moreover, Lang says, we should rededicate ourselves to the movement King represented.

Monumentalizing the civil rights leader, if we’re not careful, could lead to sanitizing his message, Lang says.

“As with anyone, King was a fallible human being,” he says. “If we think about his politics on gender, they were not the most progressive, even for their day. If we think about his ideas about leadership, which tend to rest on the charismatic individual, that mode of leadership will not serve us well today, and was not the best mode of leadership even for that time.”

That’s why it’s crucial, Lang believes, to cultivate leadership among the many — and not the few — of today’s activism. Still, there’s so very much to learn from King, who wasn’t yet 40, Lang stresses, at the time of his assassination nearly 50 years ago.

“We would have to use them, I would argue, to think about the movement and not just simply the man, but also to use that to mediate on the particular challenges that we face today,” Lang says of King’s philosophies. “And we have to face those issues on their own terms today and not based on an imagining of what people did in the past.”

ICICLES FORM SUNDAY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHTS DECORATING A TREE ON MASSACHUSETTS STREET. Although Douglas County escaped a predicted overnight ice storm, rain Sunday morning coupled with temperatures below freezing allowed icy conditions. Today’s weather forecast calls for much warmer conditions, with a high of 49 degrees, although rain is still possible in the morning.

Wichita State students run consulting firm Wichita (ap) — A student-run consulting firm at Wichita State University is giving undergraduates a chance to gain experience and make mistakes before they enter the workplace.

The firm, called Barton International Group, offers data analysis, digital marketing, feasibility analysis and market research, The Wichita Eagle reports.

Adviser Kate Kung-McIntyre, who founded the program in 2008, said students have the op-

Report CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The 21-page report, “Clear Goals and Plans for Data Collection Could Strengthen Law Enforcement Responses to People with Mental Illness,” was prepared by City Auditor Michael Eglinski.

Eglinski, who will present the report to commissioners Tuesday, said the main idea is that more data collection needs to be done in order to better address the issue.

“The entire environment is complicated because it involves court systems, mental health care systems, the health care system, so there is a lot of collaboration that needs to go on,” Eglinski said. “…I think we need to do some more with the kind of data collection and systems to track how things are going.”

Currently, the data are limited, with the only information available being that law enforcement responded to 615 suicide attempts or threats in 2015, according to the report.

Arrests and other interactions with law enforcement in which a mental health issue is involved aren’t tracked, the report says, but the police department reported that calls with a mental health aspect have grown since 2000.

Data collection would be in addition to existing

portunity to “practice and apply what they are learning outside of co-ops and internships.”

Now with 30 members, the group initially consisted of 13 business students who felt they needed more professional experience.

Most participants are business students, although the group is open to all undergraduate students at the university, BIG marketing director Carmen Resco said.

Current BIG CEO Jacob Archer said the members’ strength lies in

efforts to address mental health. Police officers already receive some training in mental health first aid, and Eglinski said the majority of officers have also received Crisis Intervention Team training.

The city also plans to create a mental health squad, which will include law enforcement staff and a mental health professional, according to the report.

Eglinski said informa-

their ability to learn.

“We don’t have years and years of structured corporate regimens,” Archer said. “We have a different perspective, and we use that perspective to benefit our clients.”

Besides working with clients in Wichita, BIG has taken trips around the world, to do research and to talk business, Resco said.

Past destinations include Taiwan, New York, Silicon Valley in California and Malaysia, with Seattle slated for this year.

tion related to the number of calls, arrests and other outcomes would help the city and police department understand and make changes in the mental health response. “(Those are) things that we need to know to be able to make the best of the program,” Eglinski said. “It’s especially important when there are complex systems.”

n election bill and the first tax bill of the session are awaiting Kansas lawmakers as they head into the second week of the session starting Tuesday, with most lawmakers coming off of a four-day weekend.

Friday was a “pro forma” day, meaning only a handful of lawmakers in each chamber show up to gavel in, read the introduction of a few bills, and gavel out, ensuring that it counts as a legislative business day, and that they all get their daily salary and allowance. Lawmakers are off today for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

The Senate Ethics, Elections and Local Government Committee will get to work at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday on the elections bill that the House passed on Wednesday.

That’s the one that cleans up the outdated statute on special elections to fill vacancies Brownback in U.S. House seats.

Lawmakers are rushing to get that bill to Gov. Sam Brownback to Pompeo sign before Rep. Mike Pompeo of Wichita is confirmed as CIA director.

Probably the most exciting hearing next week, however, will be in the House Taxation Committee at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

It will hold a hearing on House Bill 2023, which would repeal the so-called LLC loophole that allows the owners of more than

330,000 farms and small businesses to pay no state taxes at all on the income they derive from those operations.

The bill would repeal that provision, and make the repeal retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017. It also repeals several other minor provisions of the 2012 tax bill dealing with adjustments that the state makes to federal adjusted gross incomes when people use that figure to file their state income taxes.

That law is thought to be the most unpopular part of the tax cuts that Gov. Sam Brownback and conservatives in the Legislature pushed through in 2012, and many of the new legislators who won election in 2016 campaigned specifically on a promise to repeal it.

By itself, though, repealing the LLC loophole would only generate about $250 million a year, give or take. The official “fiscal note” on the bill hadn’t been published at the time of this writing.

The biggest part of the 2012 tax cuts — the part that resulted in the largest drop in income tax revenue — was eliminating the top tax bracket for the wealthiest filers and reducing individual rates across the board on the remaining two brackets.

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Monday, January 16, 2017

EDITORIALS

Remembering MLK’s wisdom The words of the civil rights leader and orator ring just as true today as when they were first spoken.

T

here have been few orators in American history to rival the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. His was the voice of the civil rights movement. King was committed to nonviolent activism. Words were his weapon, and he wielded them mightily.

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day one has to wonder what Dr. King, shot and killed in Memphis in 1968, would make of race in America today.

On one hand, surely he would take some comfort in knowing that America had elected a black president, not once but twice. But as Barack Obama’s presidency draws to a close and America transitions to a new administration, the nation’s racial divide is in some ways as deep as it was 50 years ago. What would King have made of the bitter dispute playing out this week between Trump and King’s civil rights contemporary, Rep. John Lewis of Georgia? What would King have made of the emergence of Black Lives Matter, the strife between police and the black community and the rise of the alt-right?

What’s clear is that King would not have been silent. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent on things that matter,” he said.

We can’t presume to know what King might say to our current racial climate.

What we can do is share some of what he did say, words that ring true today, Martin Luther King Jr. Day: l “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” — Sermon on Christmas Day, 1957. l “We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.” — Antidotes for Fear sermon in “Strength to Love,” 1963. l “We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” — Graduation speech at Oberlin College, June 1965. l “All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there.

Democracy demands truth on Russia Washington — “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” mutters Marcellus as ghosts and mad spirits haunt Elsinore Castle in the first act of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

After this past week of salacious leaks about foreign espionage plots and indignant denials, people must be wondering if something is rotten in the state of our democracy. How can we dispel the dark rumors that, as Hamlet says, “shake our disposition”?

I’d suggest four questions to clear the haze of allegation and recrimination that surrounds President-elect Donald Trump and our intelligence agencies days before his inauguration.

Getting answers may take months — but that’s the best way to avoid a Shakespearean tragic ending.

Question 1: Did Trump’s campaign encourage Russia’s alleged hacking to hurt his rival Hillary Clinton and help him, and does Russia have any leverage over him? Trump finally conceded at his press conference Wednesday that “as far as hacking, I think it was Russia,” but he insisted he has “no dealings with Russia” and “no loans with Russia.”

He didn’t answer a question about whether he or anyone from his staff had contact with Russia during the campaign.

The country needs to know what’s true and false.

The Washington Post and other news organizations spent months trying to check out a dossier about possible Russia-Trump contacts prepared by a former British intelligence officer.

David Ignatius

“

In a case where a foreign intelligence service allegedly ran a covert action against America’s political system, aborting the inquiry would be scandalous.”

The press couldn’t confirm alleged meetings during the campaign. The FBI and other intelligence agencies have had the dossier, too, since late summer. Their investigation remains open, it appears.

A full investigation will establish who did what, and when. In a case where a foreign intelligence service allegedly ran a covert action against America’s political system, aborting the inquiry would be scandalous.

Question 2: Why did the Obama administration wait so long to deal with Russia’s apparent hacking? This is the Hamlet puzzle in our drama. Like the prince of Denmark, President Obama delayed taking action even as evidence mounted of dastardly deeds. The first stories about Russian hacking broke last summer. In September, the so-called “Gang of Eight” — the top congressional leadership on

intelligence — was getting detailed briefings on the hacking. The FBI by then had obtained the British exspy’s dossier.

The intelligence community issued a statement Oct. 7 charging that “Russia’s senior-most officials” had sought to “interfere with the U.S. election process.” Given that, why didn’t Obama do more?

The White House probably feared that further action might trigger a process of escalation that could bring even worse election turmoil.

Trump was barnstorming the country claiming that the election was rigged and warning he might not accept the outcome. Did the administration worry that the Russians would take additional steps to hurt Clinton and help Trump, and might disrupt balloting itself? We need to know.

Question 3: What discussions has the Trump team had with Russian officials about future relations?

Trump said Wednesday that his relationship with President Vladimir Putin is “an asset, not a liability.” Fair enough, but until he’s president, Trump needs to let Obama manage U.S.-Russia policy.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s choice for national security adviser, cultivates close Russian contacts.

He has appeared on Russia Today, and received a paid speaking fee from the cable network, which was described in last week’s unclassified intelligence briefing on Russian hacking as “the Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet.”

According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials and other measures in retaliation for the hacking. What did Flynn say, and did it undercut the U.S. sanctions? The Logan Act (though never enforced) bars U.S. citizens from correspondence intending to influence a foreign government about “disputes” with the United States. Was its spirit violated? The Trump campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

If the Trump team’s contacts helped discourage the Russians from a counterretaliation, maybe that’s a good thing. But we ought to know the facts.

Question 4: Finally, what’s the chance that Russian intelligence has gamed its covert action more subtly than we realize? Applying a counterintelligence lens, it’s worth asking whether the Russians hoped to be discovered, and whether Russian operatives fed the former MI6 officer’s controversial dossier deliberately, to sow further chaos.

These questions need to be answered — not to undermine Trump, but to provide a factual base to help the country recover from an attack on its political system. As Trump rightly says, “fake news” threatens our democracy. Truth will protect it.

Hollywood elitists out of touch with reality Meryl Streep has played many roles in her long career and holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations of any actor.

Among her portrayals was British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. At the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, Streep behaved as if she actually had been elected to high office, entitling her to mount a high horse.

In a six-minute, postelection diatribe, Streep slammed president-elect Donald Trump, urging journalists to hold him accountable. Given the media’s poor job of holding the current president accountable, Streep’s call to arms seems like an invitation to a one-way street. Accountability is one thing. Extreme bias is quite another and mainstream media has been nothing if not biased against Donald Trump, most of his cabinet nominees and family members.

I stopped going to movies years ago because I grew tired of their political agendas, the profanity, the sex scenes and blasphemies.

if any interest me.

The first one I received this year was “Manchester by the Sea.” After counting more than a dozen uses of the f-word in the first 15 minutes, I ejected it from my DVD player. Screenwriters actually think average people talk like this. I’ve been around enough entertainers to know this is mostly untrue. Filmmakers inhabit a fantasy world, and for many of them fantasy is reality.

The Golden Globes, like the Oscars, are full of the self-aware (no wonder they worship President Obama, perhaps the most selfaware president in history).

They’re happy to mock the values of “fly-over country,” even as they hope people they condescendingly view as “hicks” and worse, Republicans, will buy tickets to see their films.

These elitists arrive at ceremonies at which people of like mind give each other awards for being like-

minded. How can they identify with Americans who live paycheck to paycheck?

Many hang out with leftwing politicians, who also live in their own fantasy world, as out of touch with real Americans as they are.

These overrated actors, who are shadows compared to Hollywood’s Golden Age, seemingly believe they set the agenda for the nation.

Anyone who has a different view is regarded as trespassing on their territory.

These actors produce little of lasting value. The A-listers among them attend White House functions — mostly during Democratic administrations — and get so upset at the prospect of a Republican victory that they threaten to leave the country should the Republican win. Sadly, they never leave. Where else could so many who have contributed so little to better society be paid so much?

The arrogance, superiority and hypocrisy of these overrated people is astounding. Many campaign against guns while enjoying the protection of armed security guards. Others, like Leonardo DiCaprio, are apostles of “climate change,” but fly on private jets and ride in SUVs, which pollute the air.

Most favor abortion rights

while clamoring for compassionate treatment of the weakest among us. They endorse same-sex marriage while marrying members of the opposite sex multiple times, mocking the practice (Streep is a notable exception).

There was one redeeming moment at the Golden Globes. It was the tribute to Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher, who died last month one day apart.

Something Carrie Fisher said in her book and on her HBO special “Wishful Drinking” should serve as a warning to these elitists, who ostentatiously sport expensive clothes and jewelry: “Celebrity is obscurity biding its time.”

There is a difference between a celebrity and a star.

If you’re not old enough to know what real stars looked like, I again refer you to Hollywood’s Golden Age, where actors kept their clothes on, didn’t swear or have sex on screen and held the attention of audiences by the superior quality of their work.

Many old films are watchable today. Some are considered classics. I doubt most of today’s films will be worth watching in 50 years.

They aren’t now.

There are members on both sides of the aisle, and in both chambers of the Legislature, who would prefer to see a more comprehensive tax package that would actually put the state back on the road to long-term financial stability, and they fear that passing a stand-alone bill on the LLC exemption will make it tougher to pass any other tax legislation this year.

The traditional practice on tax bills is to bundle several things together so there’s something in the bill for everybody to dislike, but also one or two things that different constituencies want. But that’s usually only successful if there’s a governor who is willing to hold his or her nose and swallow a few things, and Brownback hasn’t given much indication that he’s willing to cave on any part of his tax plan.

That means the only alternative is to put together a broad-based tax package that can get twothirds majorities in both chambers to override an almost certain governor’s veto. That’s a monumental task on almost any topic, but none more so than tax increases.

Other committees are still in their early stages of the process, getting briefings on various issues and meeting with the cabinet secretaries in charge of each committee’s policy area, mainly for the benefit of new legislators who are unfamiliar with all the details of issues that their committees deal with.

The House Appropriations Committee will get a briefing at 9 a.m. Wednesday on the

unclaimed property portfolio. Currently, the state puts a portion of its idle funds, equal to the amount it holds in unclaimed property, into a special investment fund managed by the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System where those assets can earn interest.

Brownback has proposed liquidating those assets and cashing in the estimated $45 million in accrued earnings.

On Thursday, the same panel will hear presentations on the KPERS fund and Children’s Initiatives Fund. Brownback has proposed freezing the state’s contribution into KPERS at 2016 levels for the next two years and writing off the nearly $93 million payment that the state delayed making last year and was supposed to repay this year.

He has also proposed selling off the state’s interest in future tobacco settlement payments, the sole source of funding for the Children’s Initiatives Fund, and putting CIFfunded programs into the state general fund.

The K-12 Education Budget Committee, which will be in charge of writing a new school finance formula on the House side, will hear presentations at 1:30 p.m.

Wednesday from Dale Dennis, a deputy education commissioner and expert on school finance issues, as well as Madeleine Burkindine, director of the Schools for the Deaf and Blind.

On the Senate side, the Transportation Committee will hold a hearing at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday on Senate Bill 5, which would enable certain people whose driver’s licenses are suspended for failure to pay a traffic fine to apply for a restricted driver’s license.

The explosions of violence that have marked a broken trust between U.S. law enforcement and communities of color across the country echo the painful clashes that marked the early struggles of the American civil rights movement, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in an interview Sunday with USA TODAY. “I really think the world is watching how we deal with these issues,” Lynch said in the wide-ranging interview here, where she had traveled to commemorate Martin Luther King weekend events.

WASHINGTON We try to assess Barack Obama’s legacy by squinting into the murky future — debating the durability of his policies and programs, wondering what the new president will do to them.

But when we measure the 44th president’s accomplishments, do we recall where and when he started? Remember what the nation and world were like the day he took office?

Imagine what might have been without him?

In his farewell this week, Obama himself cited the advice of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.’’

So go back to the hours before Obama became president. Walk in his shoes, sit in his pew, ride in his limousine. Then, judge.

Animal rights activists claim victory as circus closes Ringling Bros. folding its tent after 146 years Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

Animal rights activists claimed a major victory Sunday after Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus said it would halt its show in May after 146 years.

The move comes as circuses across the country have struggled with declining attendance and social pressure brought to bear by

activists who argued the animals were sometimes poorly treated.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus removed elephants from its performances last May, and the company said ticket sales then dropped drastically.

The company had battled animal rights activists in costly court skirmishes — winning a $15.75 million judgment against them in 2015 — but apparently lost the larger fight over public opinion.

“IT’S OVER,” actress and animal rights advocate Pamela Anderson posted to her more than 1 million Twitter followers.

PETA, which has long crusaded against animal treatment, lauded

the decision and said the trend should accelerate.

“All other animal circuses, roadside zoos, and wild animal exhibitors, including marine amusement parks like SeaWorld and the Miami Seaquarium, must take note: Society has changed, eyes have been opened, people know now who these animals are, and we know it is wrong to capture and exploit them,” it said.

Circuses have long been a part of the American social fabric, bringing exotic animals to small towns across the country and giving awestruck children a taste of the wilder world beyond. But the past three decades, in particu-

lar, have seen a growing concern for the health and welfare of wild animals that spend their lives in captivity.

Most people didn’t realize what went on behind the scenes, says Jan Creamer, president of Animal Defenders International, which has conducted undercover investigations into circuses for 20 years.

“People were shocked at the day-to-day casual violence,” Creamer says. “As Ringling has found out, people are better-educated and … recognize suffering and cruelty in other species. They don’t want to see animals suffer for 15 minutes of entertainment.”

smartphones, accelerated the scrutiny of police operations in ways that many had not anticipated. “Policing became front and center, because technology put it front and center,” Lynch said.

In much of the country where encounters between police and the public have not been in the forefront, “it’s been a real eye-opener.”

The “incredibly violent and fatal (past) year for law enforcement,” Lynch said, referring to the ambush killings of five Dallas officers and three others in Baton Rouge, also highlighted today’s threat to law enforcement. “Everyone just wants to get home safe,” she said.

Of this weekend’s feud between President-elect Donald Trump and Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights icon who said he would not attend the inauguration and questioned the legitimacy of the election, Lynch chose her words carefully. Describing Lewis as “a piece of living history,” Lynch said the Georgia congressman is “entitled to his views.”

“He has earned the right to speak for himself,” she said.

Later, she spoke from the sanctuary of the 16th Street Baptist Church, a monument to the early civil rights movement where four black girls were killed in a bombing by white supremacists in 1963. Lynch offered a counterpoint to the divisive rhetoric of the recently ended political campaigns she said threaten the very gains made by King and the movements of other foot soldiers.

“I know we are in difficult days now,” Lynch told a packed congregation. “Many worry that Dr. King’s dream — and all that has flowed from it — is at risk like never before. I have seen the disconnect between the forces of our government and the communities we serve; I have seen the concerns that the voting booth will be moved out of reach, that our hearts will close along with our borders, that a prayer in a different tongue or posture will place one at risk.

“I have seen the fear that once again we will let a distinction without a difference govern our view of our fellow Americans, rather than what is in their hearts,” said the attorney general, the first African-American woman to hold the office. “And I have seen the fear that, with the turn of the electoral wheel, so many of us will be seen as children of a lesser God. I have seen all that.”

Despite such fears, Lynch said, she was boosted by the resolve of “the men and women of goodwill who love this country, who believe in its promise.”

“And if it comes to pass that we do enter a period of darkness, let us remember — that is when dreams are best made. So let us see — what shall become of Dr. King’s dream?

The Lord has already wrought a miracle by bringing us this far.”

A third of the nation’s lending capacity is frozen, and the value of its housing stock has dropped from $12 trillion to $4.5 trillion in less than three years. The average household has lost a third of its net worth. A trillion dollars in stock values are gone.

Two foreign wars have killed more than 4,800 Americans, strained military families with repeated deployments, and, according to a new Congressional Budget Office report, could wind up costing $2.4 trillion.

Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man in U.S. history, is still at large. Gay soldiers and sailors are still in the closet.

Newtown and Ferguson are not yet synonyms for catastrophe and conflict. No one except capitalists occupy Wall Street. The Tea Party is just the name of an obscure website. The Arab Spring, and the chaos that follows, lie ahead.

You leave church and get back in the limo, known as “The Beast.”

Even The Beast is a reminder of the crisis. Its maker, General Motors, says that without an infusion of government cash it will be broke in two months; the reorganization plan that’s part of its application for a bailout is due in a month. The head of the autoworkers union calls the deadline “unattainable.”

You step into the back of the new presidential limousine for a 90second, two-block ride to St. John’s Church, across from the White House, for the traditional pre-inaugural service.

You slide into the front pew and hear the preacher say: “God always sends the best men into the worst times. The problems are mighty and the solutions are not simple. But you are all fired up, sir, and you are ready to go.

And this nation goes with you.”

But maybe not the market. The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index opens at 849.76, down .36 from Monday’s close.

At Blair House, you’ve been up for more than an hour. After a workout you have breakfast with Michelle and the girls.

Yesterday, Homeland Security alerted you to a “credible threat” — four Somalis who have spent time in terrorist training camps have slipped into the country from Canada and might be planning an attack at the inauguration. You canceled a speech rehearsal session.

At 47, you’re the first president to come of age after the Vietnam War. You have not a gray hair on your head.

You put on a dark suit, white shirt, red tie. You practice your salute.

Five hours from now you will be commander in chief of 179,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You’ve vowed to get out of the former and straighten out the latter.

But overnight there have been two bombings in Baghdad and an assassination in Mosul. The supply route into Afghanistan through Pakistan, our supposed ally, is so perilous that Gen. David Petraeus is today announcing a new route through Uzbekistan.

You’ve promised to talk with our enemies. But North Korea and Iran are hell-bent on getting nukes; North Korea already has enough material for six warheads.

Our embassy in Havana has been closed since before you were born. Your last predecessor to visit Cuba was Calvin Coolidge.

ook away, Netflix subscribers.

Nearly 13 years after Jim Carrey brought villain Count Olaf to life on the big screen, Neil Patrick Harris is stepping into his devious shoes in the eightepisode A Series of Unfortunate Events (now streaming). Adapted from Lemony Snicket’s popular children’s books, the calamitous show picks up as the young Baudelaire orphans (Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, Presley Smith) are sent to live with the nefarious Olaf, who takes on a variety of eccentric personas in order to trick the children and secure their immense fortune.

After the lighter, slapstick-heavy 2004 film, “I wanted to make sure that Olaf was more villainous, and I felt that Neil could be a darker Olaf,” says executive producer Barry Sonnenfeld. “No one but Neil could’ve played these four roles. They were so physical and so different.”

Harris most frequently appears as the dastardly Olaf, a greedy, aspiring theater actor with peculiar suits, unkempt gray hair and a sinister unibrow crawling across his forehead.

At the start of shooting, Harris typically spent five hours in the makeup chair having prosthetics applied. To get into character, he says it was most useful to find “a cologne that reminded me of Olaf — leather and smoke, a dark kind of thing. I wanted him to have his own scent, so I put too much of that on every day.”

After Olaf’s plan to steal the Baudelaire fortune by marrying eldest sibling Violet (Weissman) is foiled, the children are sent to live with their distant relative, herpetologist Montgomery Montgomery (Aasif Mandvi). But their happiness is shortlived when Olaf appears in disguise as scientist Stefano, who has a long gray beard and high-pitched voice. “I was playing Olaf’s voice very low and menacing, so I went higher with Stefano’s; I wanted it to be as tinny as possible,” Harris says. He also donned “really, really thick glasses that made my eyes much larger. That big, magnified eye blink just felt very oblivious.”

SHIRLEY

CAPTAIN SHAM

When the Baudelaires are sent to live with Aunt Josephine (Alfre Woodard) at her lakeside abode, Olaf resurfaces as grizzled sailor Captain Sham, who tries to woo and kill her. “That was the most challenging physically,” says Harris, who sported a heavy wool jacket, eye patch and peg leg (a broom handle screwed into a prosthetic knee).

Sham’s voice is like Sean Connery with his “teeth about to fall out, and then you add the sexual element to it. That was fun, because I just got to (act) drunk and flirty with Alfre Woodard.”

Olaf’s most elaborate disguise is Shirley, receptionist to Dr. Georgina Orwell (Catherine O’Hara), whom the kids encounter while working at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill. “I wanted her to be really sensual and curvy,” Harris says. Her way of speaking was very “Bette Davis, 1940s rapid-fire banter, since this is a timeless story. “ Using the bathroom on set was problematic, as Shirley’s multilayered costume included underwear, leggings, padding, a tight dress, gusset and bicycle shorts that “cinched that all together.” The easiest part was running around in high heels, but Harris “had a little practice” in Broadway’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

De Niro explores the ‘disconnect’ in Madoff ‘THE COPS’ IS ON THE BEAT

A new animated comedy starring the dynamic duo of Louis C.K. and Albert Brooks has landed at TBS. The cable network has ordered 10 episodes of The Cops, which the comedians also created and will produce with Greg Daniels (The Office).

The series follows two Los Angeles officers, Al (Brooks) and Lou (Louis C.K.), “trying their best to protect and serve, sometimes failing at both,” the network says.

Highlights from the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour.

PASADENA , CALIF. HBO is going off to see the Wizard.

The Wizard of Lies, due in May, stars Robert De Niro as convicted financier Bernie Madoff, who ran one of the world’s most famous and profitable Ponzi schemes. Michelle Pfeiffer co-stars as his wife, Ruth.

Barry Levinson directed.

One of the big questions raised by the film, which chronicles Madoff’s success in scamming people (including friends) out of billions of dollars, is whether Madoff was a sociopath. De Niro isn’t sure — and didn’t play him as if he were.

“The only thing that I feel is that his kids didn’t know and his wife didn’t know,” De Niro told television critics Saturday.

“What he did is beyond my comprehension, so there’s a disconnect somehow in him. And I still would like to understand.

I did the best I could, but I don’t understand. ... Some peo-

SAUL’S OLD (AND NEW) PALS

When Better Call Saul returns for a third season April 10, we’ll see familiar faces from AMC’s Breaking Bad, the acclaimed series for which Saul is a prequel.

“It’s a show where you know where it’s headed, what the ultimate goal is,” says co-creator Vince Gilligan. “This year is no

different. We’re inching the show down the field” to see how Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill becomes the sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. AMC revealed, in a fake commercial for Los Pollos Hermanos, the chicken fast-food chain that figured into Bad, that Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) will be among them.

“I’m so honored to be able to come back” to playing Gus, Esposito says. He’s “a little more immature than when we left off. ...

Gus is a very cagey character.”

WHY SAMANTHA BEE STINGS

If anything separated TBS’ Full Frontal With Samantha Bee from other news comedy shows, it was Bee’s righteous anger. Frontal is a show with a definite point of view and a near-constant sense of outrage.

“Well,” Bee says, “there’s plenty to be outraged about. It’s a thoughtful experience. The only thing we really wanted from the show is that it come from a very gut place, a very visceral place. ...

For those 21 minutes, it’s a very cleansing and cathartic experience for me, which permits me to live my life as I want to live it outside of the show.”

He hired my wife two years ago to come over weekly to prepare meals, clean the house and do his laundry. He pays her well.

Recently, he asked us whether she would accompany him when he travels for three weeks on business to do those same tasks at the condo where he is staying. My wife wants to help him out while spending time in a city she has always wanted to see. I agreed to it with the understanding that they have

‘Summer House’ is nothing new How do we define insanity? According to a popular quotation, attributed to Einstein without much proof, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

So how insane is Bravo’s new series “Summer House” (9 p.m.)?

This seems like the millionth show to display the hedonism of vacuous young people whose idea of meaningful activity ranges from hot tubs to hookups and back again. Montauk, New York, is the setting, but that doesn’t really matter at all.

The peculiar twist, or make that kink, to ‘‘House’’ is the presence of identical twins Ashley and Lauren Wirkus, seemingly unseparated since birth. Well into years that most people would consider adulthood, they share secrets and showers and everything in between. Not even marriage can keep one from the other’s side, so when ‘‘the single one’’ decides to hook up with a guy without telling the other, trouble follows.

The twindom of the Wirkus women only accentuates the fact that everybody in the house walks, talks and acts alike, as if they were extruded from some plastic factory that manufactures brainless bros and blondes. They’re not so much people as types, the kind of vacant, selfish, clueless characters who are brutally murdered in the first half-hour of a slasher movie.

Unfortunately, this is not a horror movie, so Bravo expects viewers to waste an entire season with these creatures. That’s a far more terrifying prospect.

O If Bravo shows like ‘‘Summer House’’ play up cliches about consequence-free selfishness and sex, TLC doubles down on the Duggar formula, with series that showcase family values on steroids.

“Counting On” (8 p.m.) follows Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo as they prepare for their walk down the aisle with the help of their extended brood.

Like most ‘‘normal’’ weddings, it will have more than 1,000 people in attendance.

O “Meet the Putmans” (9 p.m., TLC) follows. This new series documents three generations of one family under one roof. Barb and Bill Putman dwell with their four adult children and spouses as well as 15 young grandchildren and counting. Did I mention there were only two bathrooms?

O A&E offers viewers a fivehour marathon to catch up on “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” (6 p.m. to 11 p.m.).

This series adheres to the repetitive nature of cable nonfiction.

There’s basically about 20 minutes of programming in each hourlong dollop. But the revelations are so jaw-dropping, it’s hard to resist.

Tonight’s other highlights O Falcone targets Gordon on “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Romantic tensions rise on “Lucifer” (8 p.m., Fox).

O New clues emerge on “Beyond” (8 p.m., Freeform).

thing wrong with her going. People travel all the time for work with their bosses; it doesn’t mean they’re having affairs.

In the future, try not to let your friends’ opinions of your marriage dictate how you should feel about something. No one knows your marriage better than you and your wife, so allow the decisions that you make as a couple to be made only by the two of you.

Kansas-Iowa State rivalry intense

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jackson at best in crucial situations

Forget the lofty ranking, the 5-0 start in Big 12 play or the 16-game winning streak the team currently is riding.

For Kansas guards Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham, the focus was on something that, at least for the moment, is much more important than any of those things — winning in Ames, Iowa.

Both were happy to talk

about it just minutes after the Jayhawks improved to 16-1 on Saturday with a hardfought win over Okla- Graham homa State at Allen Fieldhouse. And both sounded eerily similar in the way they worded the challenge they’ll face tonight at Iowa State’s

Hilton Coliseum.

“I’m excited, man,” said Graham, who poured in a season-high 21 points Mason in the win over OSU. I haven’t won at Iowa State yet, so that’s the key.”

Added Mason, who tallied a team-high 22 points and bumped his Big 12-lead-

ing scoring average to 20.5 points per game: “I haven’t won there personally, and we want to go up there and play our best basketball and just get ready.”

Even though the Cyclones (11-5 overall, 3-2 Big 12) enter the first Big Monday game of what promises to be a wild Big 12 season unranked and on the heels of a road loss to TCU, their lineup features a host of

For Josh Jackson, freethrow shooting and 3-point shooting continue to lag behind the rest of a game that otherwise belies his youth.

Still, he’s averaging 15.6 points and will become an even better scorer once he improves, especially from the line.

“I shoot them every day,” Jackson said after making 10 of 17 free throws in Saturday’s 87-80 victory against visiting Oklahoma State. “I’ll Jackson probably put up a couple hundred in the next two days.”

Practice never hurts.

Jackson also might want to try to trick his mind into believing that it’s a lategame situation every time he goes to the line because as seems to be the case in all areas of his game, the later a close game progresses, the better he performs.

Jackson is shooting .722 (13 of 18) from the line in the final five minutes of games, .533 (40 of 75) in all other situations, .570 overall.

If Jackson doesn’t become a smoother 3-point shooter in his one season at Kansas, he always has the option of not taking them. No such escape hatch is available or desirable with free throws.

He’s a tough driver to guard and will continue to head to the line frequently. He has attempted 93 free throws, second on the team to Frank Mason III (111).

Jackson made 10 of 17 from the line Saturday, including 5 of 7 in the final 2:25 in what was a closer game than anticipated.

Gorgui Dieng scored 21 points and Andrew Wiggins had 19 for the Timberwolves, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.

Dallas broke open a twopoint game by closing the third quarter on an 11-4 run, then Barea scored his team’s first nine points of the fourth quarter. His bank shot in the lane with 8:01 to go extended the Mavs’ lead to 88-76.

Seth Curry then scored the next five points with a 3 and a fast-break layup to give Dallas its largest lead of the game.

Seeking their first four-game winning streak since December 2012, the Timberwolves closed a 14-point, third-quarter deficit to as little as two. Dieng scored nine points in the quarter, making all four of his fieldgoal attempts.

Jacob Evans III added 10 points for the Bearcats (15-2, 5-0 American Athletic Conference), who overcame their own shooting struggles by making things even tougher on a Pirates team missing its top scorer.

Cincinnati extended its longest winning streak since the 2013-14 team reeled off 15 straight.

Freshman Elijah Hughes scored 18 points in his first start and fellow freshman Jeremy Sheppard added 13 for East Carolina (9-10, 1-5), which has lost five in a row and hasn’t beaten a nationally ranked

Cincinnati entered with the nation’s No. 3 defense according to Ken Pomeroy’s advanced statistics, and the Bearcats held East Carolina to 25 percent from the field and to 4-of-23 shooting from 3-point range.

The 46 points allowed was a season best.

That tough D helped make up for an offense that couldn’t get on track. Cincinnati matched season worsts with both 32.8 percent shooting and 55 points, and had a season-worst eight shots blocked by the Pirates.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

veterans who have logged a lot of miles in the Big 12 and had varying degrees of success against the Jayhawks.

Kansas coach Bill Self on Saturday reminded folks that he picked Iowa State to win the Big 12 this season.

“I think they’re really good,” Self said.

Iowa State starts five seniors, including preseason Big 12 player of the year Monte Morris. Four of the five can shoot. All five are legit athletes. And the group, as a whole, has both great respect for Kansas and a strong desire to take the Jayhawks down.

That desire burns hottest for senior guard Naz Long, who has played the role of Jayhawk killer in the past but missed out on two opportunities to do so last year because of an injury We that cost him all have a but eight nice little games of the 2015rivalry season. going and 16 Granted that was a medical red-shirt kind of solidified following the end when Bill of what ould Self said w h a v e that our been his senior rivalry with them yL eo anr g, was as is back significant and, in 16 starts so as anfar this body’s in s e a s o n , the the coun- leads Cyclones try.” with 15.7 points per game.

— ISU senior “Man, guard Naz Long this is it,” Long said before the start of the season. “After this, we’re gonna be taking a step into the real world, wherever that leads us.

And this is it. It’s our last chance playing against Kansas and at Texas and at Oklahoma and you’ve gotta cherish every one of those moments.”

While each Big 12 game and whatever comes next will be special to Long, few are as special as the match-ups with Kansas.

KU and ISU have developed a nationally recognized rivalry during the past several seasons. And even though all-time ISU great Georges Niang is no longer in a Cyclones uniform, that does not mean that the rivalry is dead.

“We have a nice little rivalry going and that was kind of solidified when Bill Self said that our rivalry with them was as significant as anybody’s in the country,” Long said. “That’s pretty cool to hear from him and I’m gonna pay my respects to that program. They get it done. And when we look back on those games, those will definitely be games we never forget for the rest of our lives.”

Asked to name one game that sticks at the top of Long’s list, the 6-foot4 Canadian pointed to a four-point win over KU in the Big 12 tournament title game two years ago.

“It was half red and half blue, just a crazy atmosphere,” Long recalled.

“We were losing the whole game, we couldn’t buy a lead. But in the second half we had a nice little surge and pulled it off.”

It’s games like that and performances from a long list of great players that made the rivalry what it has become.

“That’s why we came to Iowa State, man,” he said. “We could’ve gone to different schools that had winning traditions in the past but we didn’t because we wanted to come build a winning tradition at Iowa State and now people know who Iowa State is. We’re definitely on the map now.”

No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (16-1 overall, 5-0 Big 12) vs. Iowa State Cyclones (11-5, 3-2) 8 p.m. today, Hilton Coliseum, Ames, Iowa. • TV: ESPN (cable channels 33, 233) • Radio: IMG Jayhawk Radio Network.

1 2 3 KEYS FOR KANSAS

Hit the glass — for two halves

Coming off of a dominant performance on the glass in the second half over Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks would do well to pick up where they left off against the Cyclones. Although Iowa State holds a 1.8 rebounds-pergame edge over opponents for the season, the Cyclones have been out-rebounded big time since the start of Big 12 play. Outworked on the boards in all five conference games thus far, ISU gave up double-digit rebounding efforts to two TCU players over the weekend and has been outdone on the boards by an average of 10 boards per game (39-29) by Big 12 foes. That number includes a 47-28 domination by Baylor and a 42-27 advantage in a loss to Texas Tech. It could be another big night for KU senior Landen Lucas, who has recorded double-digit rebounds in four of KU’s first five conference games.

Handle the harsh crowd

Move the ball

Hilton Coliseum is famous for being one of the best environments in the Big 12 and the country and the Iowa State fans are the biggest reason why. Loud, proud and relentless in their harassment of the opposing team, Iowa State’s home arena can turn into a true sixth man, both in terms of the vibe and the impact on the game, when the home team is on a roll. It will be by far the most intense place this Kansas team has played so far this season and that will be a new experience for freshmen Josh Jackson and Mitch Lightfoot, sophomore Lagerald Vick and even, to a lesser degree, junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

That foursome has logged just 7 combined minutes inside Hilton (6 in two games by Mykhailiuk and 1 minute last year for Vick) and that fact will put a premium on the importance of individual focus and veteran leadership. “They’re really, really hard to guard,” said KU coach Bill Self. “And going up there is always a big challenge for anyone but especially for us.”

Kansas was just 5-of-20 from 3-point range in its most recent game, a seven-point, home win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.

And many of the misses were flat, out of rhythm or even a little bit forced. One of the best ways to fix that and bounce back from one of the team’s worst 3-point shooting games of the season is to have more patience, move the ball while running half-court offense and find open shooters who can step into shots and knock them down in rhythm.

This team is full of both good shooters and unselfish players who like to set up their teammates for easier and better shots. For much of the season, they did exactly that.

But they got away from it a little against OSU and likely will focus in on a return to form against the Cyclones.

MEGA MATCHUP

JAYHAWK PULSE

Iowa State point guard Monte Morris vs. KU’s Frank Mason III

Saturday-Monday turnarounds are tough no matter when they come or how talented a team is, but the Jayhawks could be facing one of their most challenging two-day turnarounds in recent memory. Given the effort they were forced to expend to knock off Oklahoma State at home over the weekend and the lack of depth the team has battled throughout the season, KU could take a set of bumps and bruises and tired legs into the match-up with the Cyclones. Of course, this team also is full of big time personalities who tend to rise to the occasion on the biggest stages. One of those players is Josh Jackson, who has enjoyed a great first half to his freshman season. But the numbers show that Jackson has been much better — perhaps because he’s been much more comfortable — inside Allen Fieldhouse than away from it. Two of Jackson’s worst games of the season came in big moments like this away from home — vs.

Indiana in the season opener and at TCU in the Big 12 opener — and it will be interesting to see if the Jayhawks can get him going early with easy buckets and impact plays that might help him stay out of foul trouble and avoid getting caught up in the hype of the big stage that will comes with both playing in Ames and on Big Monday.

It’s a showdown of two of the most talented and experienced point guards in the conference and the country and one that the Jayhawks are hoping they finally can get on the right side of when the final horn sounds. Morris, who has just one turnover to go along with 30 assists during the first five games of the Big 12 schedule, has had some masterful games against Mason and the Jayhawks in the past. But Mason has been sensational all season and finished with 22 points in KU’s last outing on a day when Self called him “average.” Mason missed 10 of 16 shots in Saturday’s win over Oklahoma State, which may put him in the position of being due in this match-up. Quickness and length against power and strength.

The winner of this point guard clash gives his team a great shot at winning the game. “I don’t really get caught up in the point guard play,” Mason said. “Everything I do is for the team and I think about the team and do whatever I can do to put my team in position to be successful. It’s about how we play moving forward as a team, not how I play.”

defense, and shot 21 percent in a 92-43 home loss at Allen Fieldhouse.

“This is the best Baylor team that coach (Kim) Mulkey and her staff have assembled,” Schneider said. “There’s just not many pieces they don’t have, and they’re two and three deep at each spot.”

The isolation-heavy offense was especially evident early in the game.

The Jayhawks didn’t make a shot from the field in the first five minutes, and sophomore McKenzie Calvert was the only player able to get a clean look at the basket. But without much ball movement, she was forced to take tough contested shots and only made one of her first eight baskets.

Baylor (16-1, 6-0 in Big 12) took advantage and turned a slew of bad shots

by Kansas into fast-break points and a 20-3 lead.

“That’s a lack of discipline on our part,” Schneider said. “Hopefully as we move forward we’ll start to learn some of these lessons. Obviously I think we’re learning the hard way when the difference is what it is.”

However, behind the

shooting of junior Jessica Washington and sophomore Kylee Kopatich, the Jayhawks (6-11, 0-6) were able to keep the deficit from growing any larger in the first quarter. Each player hit a 3-pointer to close out the first period and to start the second.

With the Jayhawks trailing 31-14 midway through the second quarter, Washington was forced to the bench with two fouls and the Bears responded with an 11-0 run to put the Jayhawks away.

That run, along with continued dominance in the third and fourth quarters, was a result of Baylor’s dominance in the paint. Since this was the second matchup between the teams (Baylor won by 47 on Jan. 1), Schneider knew the Bears would attack the paint. His goal was to hold Baylor to less than 40 points in the paint, but Baylor scored 46, which he credited to its constant aggression around the basket.

“When it comes to Baylor, you just have to beat them down the floor so they don’t get position,” senior Sydney Umeri said.

Kansas will look for its first Big 12 win of the Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo season when it plays host to West Virginia at 7 p.m. KANSAS GUARD CHAYLA CHEADLE shoots against Baylor on Wednesday.

next Sunday night for a spot in the Super Bowl.

The Patriots won at Pittsburgh 27-16, but Ben Roethlisberger was injured and didn’t play.

“I think it’s going to be a showdown,” Bell said.

“Two great quarterbacks going head to head. Two of the best teams in the AFC. It’s time to settle it next week.”

Since 2001, the Patriots and Steelers have combined to win nine AFC titles.

Spencer Ware’s 1-yard touchdown run took Kansas City within 18-16. The Chiefs at first converted the 2-pointer to tie it, but tackle Eric Fisher — the first overall selection in the 2013 draft — was penalized for holding. The next try failed.

With 2:43 remaining, Justin Gilbert misplayed the kick return and was tackled at the Pittsburgh 5. Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown for 7 yards on third down and Pittsburgh then ran out the clock, securing a ninth straight victory for the Steelers. The Chiefs have not won a home playoff game since 1994, losing five in a row.

“I feel like we left a lot of plays on the field that we should have made,” linebacker Justin Houston said. “We didn’t; it’s the playoffs, every play counts.”

The scoring started furiously in the opening minutes, then the game became a kicking exhibition by Boswell, who also had six field goals in the regular season against Cincinnati. And Bell put on a virtuoso running performance, patiently finding holes and then exploding through them.

He added a team-record 170 yards rushing to the 167 he had in a win over Miami last week.

“The coaches put a lot of trust in me to get the job done,” Bell said of his 30 carries. “Just run hard.

Just picked my spots where I could and run hard.”
