School board to hear second report on equity efforts efforts to recruit, hire and retain more staff of color in Lawrence schools. Today’s meeting will outline a more holistic summary of the district’s “equity journey” thus far, said Angelique Nedved, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning.

For the second time this month, school board members will hear a report on the district’s work toward achieving a more equitable environment for students and staff.

The presentation delivered at the Oct. 10 meeting focused specifically on

of book-study discussions meant to explore issues of racial achievement disparities in the district, including graduation rates.

Those numbers have, generally speaking, improved over the years.

“I can say that confidently,” said Nedved, who co-authored the new report with Kevin Harrell, the district’s

executive director of student services and special education. “But I think it’s more important than just listing a number.”

There are other, more intangible, figures at play that contribute to the achievement gap between white students and their peers of color, Nedved said, though she acknowledges that the district’s

climbing graduate rate is a quantifiable example of schools’ progress.

For the record, graduation rates overall have risen from 85 percent in 2011 to just more than 92 percent in 2015. White students graduated at roughly 87 percent in 2011, hovering around 91 percent for three years before reaching nearly 93

percent in 2015.

Graduation rates for black students, however, have risen and fallen during that time frame, starting at about 83 percent in 2011 before climbing to 88.5 percent in 2012, dipping to 81.7 percent in 2013, climbing back up to 86.7 percent in 2014 and

LMH forced to divert ICU patients for second time this year

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

This March, Lawrence Memorial Hospital was forced to divert more than a dozen patients headed to its intensive care unit to other area hospitals.

The diversion was caused in part by an unexpected uptick in the number of patients at the hospital, said Janice Early, vice presiLiterally no dent of marketing and commu- one who had nications.

Hospital Although diversions can be common for hospitals serving large metropolitan areas like Kansas City, Early said they’re quite rare in Lawrence.

“We had kind of a perfect storm of circumstances. It was an unusually busy night in the ER; we were very full in terms of available beds in terms of inpatients and there were many other hospitals on diversion,” Early said. “Literally no one who had worked here more than 30 years could remember it ever happening.”

Typically, LMH tries to keep at least 1 of the facility’s 12 ICU beds free, Early said. However, on Oct. 17, those beds were full. So when a patient came in requiring intensive care, the patient had to be diverted to another hospital, she said. > LMH, 2A

BIOLOGIST AND UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PROFESSOR KELLY KINDSCHER IS PICTURED WITHIN A SWATH OF PRAIRIE on Friday at the Sanders Mound area of Clinton Lake. Kindscher was one of several people to publish the survey “Natural Areas Inventory in Douglas County,” which ranks the health and recommends preservation for such areas.

iologist Kelly Kindscher says there’s a lesson in the prairie chicken’s local fate.

“Until recently, we had enough native grasslands in the southwest part of the county you could see prairie chickens,” he said.

“I think in the last 10 years, the prairie chicken has gone extinct in Douglas County. If so, it’s because we haven’t made an effort to help them.”

Prairie chicken populations exist in a few counties to the west in the Flint Hills, said Kindscher, a senior scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey and professor of environmental studies at the University of Kansas. But there is little chance the birds will return to the hills and plains of Douglas County, because the natural grasslands that sustain the bird are vanishing.

The prairie chicken with its booming call provides a charismatic example of the

consequences of the county’s disappearing native tallgrass prairies, Kindscher said.

Less likely to capture public attention are such markers of the prairie’s presence and health as insects and threatened plants, such as the Western prairie fringed orchid or Mead’s milkweed.

The prairie was 1 of 3 local ecosystems with wetlands and woodlands that immediately started to shrink as settlers established farms and cities in the county, Kindscher said. It’s a process that

finally settling at 85.2 percent in 2015.

Multiracial students perhaps made the most dramatic gains, shooting up from less than 48 percent in 2011 to just more than 90 percent in 2015.

American Indian students experienced a similar climb, graduating at 74 percent in 2011 and 96 percent in 2015, rising and falling in between, as did Hispanic students, with an ascent from 60 percent in 2011 to nearly 88 percent in 2015. Asian students saw a 100 percent graduation rate in 2015.

These numbers are reassuring, Nedved said, but

“We have had a pretty full house. We’re running kind of a high census,” she said. “Normally our ICU does not run that full, but it definitely was Monday night (Oct. 17).”

The diversion on Oct. 17 lasted for about six hours, Early said.

Thursday, Early said the ICU had 9 of its 12 beds full, which is still a high count.

work the KU Biological Survey has been doing since 1988. Between that date and the first survey published in 2005, it was found that 29 percent of the county’s high-quality prairie had been lost and that only 0.5 percent of the county’s vast pre-settlement natural grasslands survived.

The latest survey documented a continuing trend of native habitat loss. It found another 18 percent of natural grasslands were lost from 2005 to 2015. It also noted degradation of previously identified grasslands.

Today, there are 45,403 acres of forested land in Douglas County, which is 4,800 more than when settlers arrived. But Kindscher said that’s only part of the story as 88 percent of the old-growth pre-settlement woodlands have been cleared.

New-growth timber stands do provide food and shelter for wildlife, but they are made up of fast-growing elm, hackberry, honey locust and red cedars, Kindscher said. The new woodlands invite weedy undergrowth and lack the wildflower carpet of the oldgrowth oak and hickory forest and don’t support rare wildlife such as the flying squirrel, he said.

That is why the survey focused on those highquality, old-growth

moving forward, she’d like to see the district expand its efforts to introduce culturally relevant curriculums in classrooms, among other measures. It’s important that the district’s African-American students, for example, see their culture represented in history lessons — and not just in mentions of slavery.

“I think one of the biggest ones to consider is that our instruction is culturally relevant to our students,” Nedved said.

“And a good way to define that is, do our students see themselves in the curriculum and the resources? So you don’t have a homogeneous view of education from one racial perspective.”

Having teachers of color as well as allies in the classroom is a part of that bigger

room was closed. Rather, the hospital had no more room in its ICU, which offers a much more specialized type of care.

Early said the hospital wouldn’t simply turn somebody away at the door and send that person to another hospital.

In situations that required immediate care, LMH staff would work to stabilize a patient before diverting the patient to another facility.

Both diversions were unexpected and would have been very difficult to forecast, Early said.

The hospital works to address the ebb and flow of its patients and it schedules staff accordingly, but sometimes patient

upticks can come seemingly all at once.

In addition, the hospital has been more full than normal, Early said.

In all, the facility has about 174 licensed beds for patients, she said.

“Just because we’re licensed, we don’t necessarily staff to those levels,” she said. “I’ve been here 24 years and we’ve never had that many patients.”

The winter months are typically busiest for LMH, Early said, but this fall there has been an influx of patients with the flu and respiratory illnesses.

Dealing with that fluid patient load, the hospital can often send staff home early or call additional

staff in to work.

As of Thursday, LMH had a total of 115 patients, Early said — nearly twice the hospital’s average this year of 66 patients.

Although LMH doesn’t expect additional diversions in the near future, Early said these situations are difficult to predict and hospital staff will have to keep a close eye on trends in the hospital, tweaking procedures as necessary.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said she was not aware of the diversion having any impact on local law enforcement.

forests, Kindscher said. It gave special attention to the four forested areas of the Lakeview area north of Lawrence, the Baldwin Woods and the riparian strips along the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers.

The survey makes note of existing or possible conservation efforts and the recreational or public access potential at the four sites.

Kindscher and his survey colleagues met three times with Lakeview homeowners, the Land Institute, which owns 65 acres in the area, and the Lakeview Resort and Association about preservation of the surviving portion of the 3,517 acres of old-growth forest near the oxbow lake. There was support to preserve the remaining 645 acres of old-growth woodlands through the use of conservation easements, he said.

The survey and Kindscher also point to the potential for hiking and biking trails and openspace preservation along the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers. There is the potential to link the county’s cities with such trails, Kindscher said.

Woodlands tend to have a more visceral appeal than natural tallgrass prairie, Kindscher said. Unfortunately, the loss of natural prairie is just as lasting as that of old-growth forests.

“It’s no easier to restore,” he said. “You can plant grasses and get the appearance, but to get back the biodiversity it takes decades,

if not centuries. I have published on this. We’re not fully sure there can be full restoration of a tallgrass prairie. Some species are so hard to reestablish.”

That explains why the survey’s recommendations involve preservation and not restoration, Kindscher said. Among the tools the survey recommends to accomplish that goal are open-space planning, conservation easements, buffer zones near surviving highquality forest and prairies, corridors connecting highquality parcels as well as greater use of state and federal programs, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Program.

A conservation easement can be donated or purchased from willing landowners, Kindscher said. He advocates their use in tandem with openspace planning that looks to protect the high-quality areas identified in the survey.

Kindscher and the survey also advocate a Douglas County funding mechanism to help acquire easements and provide open-space community amenities. When given a chance in other jurisdictions, voters have been supportive of such funding, he said.

Such a program would provide balance against public funding for infrastructure, which promotes the growth that threatens natural areas, Kindscher said.

“South Lawrence is

hot with development interest right now,” he said. “That’s what happens when an area has about $350 million worth of infrastructure investment. Think about it for a moment. The completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway is about a $190 million project; the widening of U.S. Highway 59 was about $110 million; and the new sewer treatment plant under construction south of the Wakarusa River is about $50 million.”

Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman, who brought the idea of Douglas County Natural and Cultural Heritage to the County Commission when she first took office in 2009, said it was true that voters have approved funding for open-space programs in communities similar to Lawrence and Douglas County. She added, however, any county program would have to be considered with other priorities.

“I’m not opposed to the idea, but timing is everything,” she said. “We have very pressing needs before us right now.”

There is urgency if the remaining native grasslands, like the prairie chicken, are not to vanish from the county, Kindscher said.

“There’s a possibility native prairie could disappear in Douglas County in my lifetime,” he said. “The clock is ticking.”

picture, too, she said.

Looking to the future, Nedved hopes to integrate culturally relevant teaching strategies into the district’s already existing equity-focused professional development. Conversations are still in the early stages, but the goal is to offer some sort of training workshop between January and April of next year.

To date, more than 1,500 school board members, administrators, both certified and classified staff, and community members have attended the district’s Beyond Diversity seminars, which were introduced in Lawrence in 2009.

Former federal official to remain vocal on senior issues

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Kathy Greenlee has returned to Kansas and stepped down from her job as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Aging, but her advocacy will remain constant.

“I’m an advocate at heart,” she said. “It’s the first time in 20 years I haven’t been in government. Advocacy as a private citizen is a little different.”

In June, Greenlee resigned the federal position, which made her the thirdranking federal official on aging issues behind only President Barack Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Silvia Burwell. She had been in the position since 2009,

which is now the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.

At a Sunday gathering at Maceli’s Banquet Hall, the Kansas Advocates for Better Care honored Greenlee with its Caring Award. At an informal meeting with the press before the ceremony, Greenlee said one concern on which she intended to stay vocal was prevention of elder abuse.

It is a topic she proudly Elvyn Jones/Journal-World Photo noted Obama became the KATHY GREENLEE LISTENS as Mitzi McFatrich, CEO first president to publicly of Kansas Advocates for Care, introduces her as the address after she spoke to organization’s annual Caring Award winner on Sunday. him about the issue at their first meeting. when she followed for- nation’s capital.

Near the end of her day recently at Catholic Charities, Day Harris prepared to help a man seeking food from the agency’s pantry.

Her work at Catholic Charities focuses on housing, but Harris, like others at the Kentucky Street multipurpose social service agency, pulls regular shifts at the pantry and the phone help line.

A cheerful Harris was as grateful for her pantry tasks Wednesday as the man receiving food. Her work with Catholic Charities through AmeriCorps is a realization of a childhood goal, but with a bit of a twist.

“Growing up, I always wanted to join the Peace Corps,” she said. “When I learned about AmeriCorps, I thought it was a good alternative. It’s called the domestic Peace Corps.

I can continue going to school and serve right here in the community.”

Harris is 1 of 19 local AmeriCorps members who started their year of service Aug. 1 and are now placed in host agencies in the community, said Linda Brandenburger, program manager for LawrenceDouglas County United Way’s AmeriCorps program. The majority are students in the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, but there also are students with backgrounds in law and medicine, she said. The 35 hours a week members give to AmeriCorps more than meet the 16-hour-a-week practicum required of social welfare graduate students.

For the year of service, members receive a stipend, health insurance and a $5,775 allowance they can apply to student loan debt or future tuition, she said.

President Bill Clinton created AmeriCorps in 1993 and it has had more than 1 million members fulfill one-year service obligations, Brandenburger said. The local program operates on yearly federal grants, including a 20162017 grant of $230,000 that provides for such things as the members’ yearly stipends, health insurance and her salary, she said.

What’s new for the local AmeriCorps is assigning members to host agencies with a housing focus, Brandenburger said. In addition to Harris at Catholic Charities, two of the members were placed at the Lawrence Community Shelter, and one each at the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority and the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, she said.

It’s her program’s response to a critical need identified by past members, Brandenburger said.

“Members found one of the most difficult things the clients were struggling with was finding safe, affordable housing,” Brandenburger said. “We may very well expand that focus, because Lawrence is the second worst community in Kansas in terms of the availability of affordable housing.

There is just not enough affordable housing here in town, and there’s a waiting list for what we have.”

considered in a housing crisis if they spend more than 30 percent of their gross income on rent or home payments, Brandenburger said. In Lawrence, 34 percent of households spend more than that percentage, she said.

“Of that, almost 23 percent spend more than 50 percent on housing,” she said. “No wonder they are broke.”

AmeriCorps member Gallas Obeid, who is working at the Lawrence Housing Authority, said part of his job involved expanding affordable housing through convincing local landlords that tenants receiving Section 8 rent vouchers were not liabilities. He recently was able to successfully make that pitch to a landlord, an action that benefited a mother and her two children who were facing eviction after there was a foreclosure on the home they were renting.

“It took awhile to find a landlord and convince them, but we were successful,” he said. “The woman and her children didn’t have to go to a homeless shelter.“ Harris has had her successes, too.

“This last month we had a family with a lot of

every 10 elders will be physically abused, and 1-in-5 will be financially exploited. We have 10,000 people turning 65 years of age every day.

That means 1,000 of them are at risk of abuse.”

The two biggest risks factors for elderly abuse are dementia and social isolation, and, thus, a key to prevention is to ensure seniors maintain community connections, Greenlee said. Community solutions required multiagency responses, involving law enforcement and public and private service agencies, she said.

“I used to think no one knew about it,” she said.

“Actually, it’s just the opposite. Everyone knows about it. The problem is how to get together and make a collaborative response.”

There has been little discussion about senior issues in the current election cycle beyond Social Security and Medicare, Greenlee said. The two entitlement programs are “macro-issues” that so dominate the political landscape there is little time for discussion of what caregivers and seniors need, she said.

To train public policy focus on elderly issues, seniors need to give voice to their concerns to elected representatives at venues available to them, from Topeka to local forums, Greenlee said.

“We need to engage the elderly to speak up about what they need,” she said.

It wasn’t the family but it was in their neighborhood and it impacted them. We were able to get them in sustainable and safe housing.”

When talking about her program, Brandenburger repeatedly uses the words “stabilize” and “sustainable.” They are key words that dovetail with the United Way’s mission of self-sufficiency, health care access and education. They are also words AmeriCorps members on the housing team use when talking about goals with the clients they see.

“A lot of people have issues far more pressing than housing,” Harris said.

“Housing is just the issue that brings them to the door. When you can’t pay your rent, that’s a big deal.

After you get that month’s rent, how do we get them to stable conditions?”

It’s a discussion that starts at Catholic Charities with the in-take interviews she is a part of, Harris said. The team looks for solutions to a wide range of issues, from unemployment and money-management skills to transportation to mental health issues, which can hamper the sustainability goal. Clients are also told the help they receive will only be successful if they are active partners in working to achieve sustainability, she said.

“We make it clear, we

“I think the hardest thing to do is have people come talk about how they are failing. They need to say, ‘This is the help I need.’”

Greenlee will soon have a new platform from which to speak on aging issues.

She said she has accepted a position of vice president of aging and health services with the Center for Practical Bioethics.

Among the topics she will address with the Kansas City, Mo., nonprofit are end-of-life issues, a discussion Greenlee said needed to be “more robust.” More

conversation is needed on end-of-life planning, palliative care, advanced illness and its associated pain, she said.

Greenlee said end-oflife discussions and policy has to be mindful of the different views and objectives of the terminally ill, who demand the right to end medical treatment, and those with disabilities, who fear the cutoff of treatment.

are here to help, but in the end they have self-determination,” Harris said.

“They are the experts in their situations. Giving that power back to them is really important.”

Harris and Obeid are among this year’s local AmeriCorps members recruited from the KU School of Social Welfare and both are finishing their master’s degrees during their service years and bring educational knowledge and past clinical social work experience to their assignments.

Nonetheless, Harris and Obeid said the training they received at the start of their service year was invaluable.

“Managing aggressive behavior, motivational interviewing — we’ve been trained in a lot,” Obeid said. “Motivational interview training was very helpful. It uses the strength approach to connect with clients. It taps into their

L awrence J ournal -W orld strengths, what they want to change about their lives, to motivate them. If you’re not motivated to work toward a goal, you’re probably not going to be successful.”

The Housing Authority has programs available on such things as job interview coaching, resumé writing, financial management and counseling on meeting landlords’ expectations,

Obeid said. The powerful motivation for the woman facing eviction was her children, he said.

“She’s now in our home ownership program,” he said. “She’s started a savings account and is working toward making a down payment on a house.”

Police study Further analysis is warranted in the wake of an anecdotal survey about race and law enforcement.

A

lthough the Lawrence NAACP chapter’s anonymous survey of residents’ interaction with law enforcement is not a scientific assessment, it could be used as the basis for a deeper analysis by local officials of whether race plays a role in how Lawrence residents are treated by police.

Lawrence City Manager Tom Markus, who attended a meeting Friday where the survey was discussed, indicated as much, saying that in order to craft new policies and procedures, specific data would need to be compiled.

The survey was taken by the NAACP chapter in conjunction with American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and featured 169 responses on police stops going back to 2011. The responses involved interactions with the Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and University of Kansas Office of Public Safety. More than 63 percent of the survey’s respondents were white, 14 percent were black, and American Indians, Asians, Latinos and those of mixed race made up the remaining 23 percent.

The surveys found that blacks are nearly twice as likely to be arrested during a police stop as are whites. They’re also nearly twice as likely to receive a citation, just as likely to receive a ticket and half as likely to receive a warning as whites.

In the surveys, blacks were given warnings 15.2 percent of the time, ticketed 36.4 percent of the time, cited 30.3 percent of the time and arrested 15.2 percent of the time. By comparison, whites were given warnings 33.6 percent of the time, ticketed 38.3 percent of the time, cited 16.4 percent of the time and arrested 7 percent of the time.

In addition, African Americans are nearly three times more likely to be searched during a police stop and a third more likely to feel violated after an encounter with police.

Lois Orth-Lopes of the Douglas County ACLU Task Force said the data is an indication that there could be problems that warrant a closer look by local officials.

“We’re not Ferguson,” Orth-Lopes said.

“But we’re not perfect.”

Orth-Lopes is right; Lawrence is not Ferguson. But in an era when conflicts between police and black residents have been all too common across the country, it behooves Lawrence to take steps to ensure all residents are being treated equally. A scientific analysis of traffic stops and arrests by local law enforcement could provide the data local officials need to determine if changes need to be made.

Our elections to be monitored like Haiti’s For the first time ever, the Organization of American States (OAS) will monitor the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, putting the United States in the same league as Haiti and other politically volatile Latin American countries.

That’s largely thanks to Republican candidate Donald Trump. Following his recent downward slide in the polls, he’s been stepping up claims that the Nov. 8 elections will be rigged, calling into question the very legitimacy of U.S. democracy.

“Of course there is largescale voter fraud happening on and before Election Day,” Trump tweeted on Oct. 17.

Trump claims, without evidence, that huge numbers of dead people and undocumented immigrants will vote, and his campaign cites a 2012 Pew Center study saying that more than 1.2 million dead people are listed as voters. But a Loyola Law School study found only 31 known cases of voter impersonation fraud in 1 billion votes cast in U.S. elections between 2000 and 2014.

The head of the OAS observation mission to the U.S. election, former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla, told me in an interview that the outside scrutiny was requested by the U.S. government on June 30.

“

Trump is attacking democracy itself.” for the past 50 years, most recently in Haiti, Guatemala, Colombia and Peru. Usually, governments request these missions to generate domestic and foreign confidence in the electoral process, and to help prevent post-electoral violence.

In this case, the OAS will deploy election observers in up to 15 U.S. states, including New York, California, Ohio, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Florida will not be included because of a state law that prohibits such outside election missions, she said.

Chinchilla told me that the OAS is more than happy to conduct its U.S. observation mission, among other things because it will help debunk a frequent excuse

by Latin American authoritarian regimes for not accepting outside electoral monitoring missions. “Many of them say, ‘If the United

States doesn’t allow observers, why should we?’” she explained.

Asked whether there are legitimate reasons to fear that the U.S. elections will be rigged, Chinchilla offered a qualified no: “Up to now, based on what we have advanced in conversations with representatives of U.S. state and national electoral organizations, we cannot say that there are any indications that there could be a fraud on a national scale.”

Sure, there are individual objections to voter registration lists, but they have come from both Republicans and Democrats, she said. And, “they follow historical U.S. election patterns,” meaning that there are no more complaints of irregularities than in previous elections, she added.

Chinchilla said that it would be very difficult to rig an election in the United States, “because the country has a hyper-diversified electoral system, in which each state counts its own votes, and there are no unified databases that could facilitate a nationwide conspiracy.”

Trump’s claim that the Democratic Party will rig the elections also would be hard to pull off because most swing states — including Florida and Ohio — have Republican governors or Republican-appointed officials who oversee the vote count, Chinchilla said.

My opinion: Trump has

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

I have never been a huge fan of Halloween.

There already are plenty of things in everyday life I find terrifying — this election cycle included.

I never understood the need to celebrate a day that imagines more things for us to fear.

But I’ve never had a problem with those who embrace the holiday.

Indeed, for adults, Halloween has always been the one opportunity each year when it’s acceptable to pretend to be something we’re not; to wear something scary, inappropriate or ridiculous in public with impunity; or to dress our children in something funny or cute.

Still, every year there is some outcry over the irreverence of costume choices.

And every year the complaints become a little more absurd.

The latest outrage is over a costume depicting Maui, a Polynesian character in an upcoming Disney animated film.

Maui is a revered figure for some Pacific Islanders, and many believe him to be their ancestor.

Presumably, the Disney film (scheduled to be released next month) handles Maui in a culturally respectful way.

As such, one might assume that donning the costume is homage to the Polynesian culture — or at least a fun way to enjoy a new Disney character.

Apparently not.

Quite predictably, a social media storm erupted over the Maui getup.

One activist explained that it is off-putting to have a child wear the skin of another race.

OK. But the Maui costume is hardly blackface, especially when worn by a child who probably just wants to emulate the character — and in a good way.

Disney pulled the costume from the shelves after claims that it was offensive to Pacific Islanders became too many to ignore, which is no surprise considering what generally happens to people who rationally suggest that costumes, on both children and adults, might be a worthy form of self-expression.

That was part of the argument made last fall

by Erika Christakis, an educator and wife of a

been stepping up his claims about allegedly rigged elections in order to divert media attention from the videotape in which he boasted about assaulting women, and from the growing numbers of women who have since said they were assaulted by him. And his diversionary tactic seems to be working: We are all talking about his “rigged elections” claim now.

But the OAS observation mission should be welcome because — much like in Haiti, Guatemala or other countries in which the OAS has monitored elections — there is a real danger of post-election political conflict in the United States.

Trump’s wild claims of a conspiracy against him are finding many followers. A new poll by Politico.com/ MorningConsult found that 41 percent of likely voters say the November election could be “stolen” from Trump due to voter fraud.

By threatening to violate the basic democratic principle of respecting the electoral outcome whether his ticket wins or loses, Trump is attacking democracy itself. The OAS mission to observe the U.S. election — and the fact that many of us are welcoming it — is just the latest reminder of how low this populist demagogue has already dragged the country.

Political correctness can get a little scary

By Cynthia M. Allen

Yale University administrator, in response to heavy-handed university advice about Halloweenwear.

In an email to students, Christakis wondered, “Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious … a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?”

She further argued that the school’s costume guidelines exhibited a lack of faith in students’ ability to exercise their own judgment of what is and isn’t appropriate and how to reasonably approach situations in which they might find a peer’s choice of dress offensive.

“In other words,” her email concluded, “Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people?”

It would appear that it is the business of a very vocal minority of social justice warriors.

As a result of the furor caused by Christakis’ email — including a heated and profanitylaced confrontation in the quad — she resigned her position as a lecturer at the school, and her husband resigned his administrative role.

The political correctness police are not active

only on Ivy League campuses.

This year, a Florida State University dormitory displayed posters that showed “examples of appropriation” and included suggestions for “great Halloween costumes” including “extraterrestrial alien,” “Steve Jobs” and “any animal” — except Harambe, the gorilla killed this year in an effort to protect a small child who fell into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. Harambe, the poster said, for reasons of sexism and racism that still boggle the mind, was an inappropriate choice.

The posters were part of the “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” campaign that has been sweeping campuses.

Although it might be fair to question the judgment of some college students given the appalling amount of binge drinking and promiscuous sex that occurs on campus, a national campaign designed to steer their Halloween dress choices seems just a tad condescending.

But perhaps even more insulting is the service offered by another Florida school to students who find themselves traumatized by the costumes of

their peers.

The University of Florida is advertising that it has made available an around-the-clock hotline through which offended students can seek counseling services to help them deal with their costume-caused anguish.

The culture appropriation concerns extend beyond the campus bubble.

Several theme parks, including Six Flags New England, have altered or removed Halloween attractions that featured scary psychiatric patients because they offended people who suffer from mental illness.

And as one writer explained in the Huffington Post, the use of any cultural garb at all — a kimono, sari or mariachi suit — should be offlimits. These “are deeply respected items of clothing in their culture” and wearing them isn’t appreciation but appropriation.

Forget ghouls, ghosts and zombies.

The thing to fear this Halloween isn’t offending someone, but the whittling away at your right to self-expression.

— Cynthia M. Allen is a columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

From the Kansas Daily Tribune for Oct. years 24, 1866: ago l “They have IN 1866 been having a musical convention at Manhattan – Prof.

Cook presiding and leading.

The Manhattanites are in raptures; they say it was the biggest thing they have had.

Mr. Cook is doing a good work for Kansas – stirring up the latent musical talent of the State, and creating an enthusiasm that cannot fail to be beneficial. There were three sessions per day, and everybody laid aside their work and attended. The Radical understands that Prof. Cook intends locating in Lawrence. We hope he will.” l “Hon. Asa Hairgrove, says the Miami Republican, was robbed last Sunday, about eight miles from Lawrence, while on the way to Paola. He was on horseback riding along quietly, when a couple of rascals halted him, and presenting revolvers, relieved him of $275.” l “Notice is hereby given to all Radical Republicans, that there will be a caucus held at Frazer’s Hall, in Lawrence, Kan., on the 26th day of October, A. D. 1866, at 7 1-2 o’clock p.m. of said day, to nominate a candidate to represent the 35th Representative district in the Legislature of 1867. The voters of North Lawrence will be permitted to cross the bridge in going to and coming from said caucus, free of charge.”

AFTER A DIVISIVE ELECTION

HOW TO HEAL THE NATION

H

ow is America ever going to begin to heal after this divisive election?

Every presidential contest leaves scars, especially as the margin of victory has become ever thinner in recent years. The 2000 election, after all, took weeks to decide.

Still, the wounds seem deeper this year. If Donald Trump loses, what happens to his supporters, many of them angry white men who already believe they have been left behind? And if Hillary Clinton loses, what happens to her supporters, including many frustrated minorities who feel under assault and women who had hoped to break a huge glass ceiling?

Elections don’t cause divisions as much as focus attention on them and prompt the question: Where as a nation do we go from here?

To probe that question, USA TODAY asked reporters on four continents to write about elections that have split their countries, and then to speak to a participant in the events to offer suggestions on how a nation heals — or why it doesn’t.

In some cases, they suggested what the U.S. should do, starting the morning after. In others, they suggested what we should not do.

Dialogue is great, but action —

The (Palm Springs) Desert Sun

PALM SPRINGS , CALIF. Investigators in southern California were trying to determine why a tour bus plowed into the back of a tractor-trailer early Sunday on Interstate 10, killing 13, including the bus driver.

The crash injured 31, including the driver of the truck.

The crash took place about 100 miles east of Los Angeles as a maintenance crew worked on a stretch of highway, slowing down traffic.

California Highway Patrol (CHP) Border Division Chief Jim Abele said the cause of accident wasn’t clear. He said investigators “may not determine how the accident occurred” because the driver was killed. But he said the bus was going significantly faster than the truck at the time of the crash.

CHP officers had been slowing traffic to allow utility workers to string wires across Interstate 10.

Abele said the bus plowed 15 feet into the back of the truck in a “substantial impact.” He said it was unclear why the bus was traveling at a much faster speed than the truck. It was also unclear whether drugs or alcohol were involved, or whether fatigue was a factor. The crash took place shortly after 5 a.m. local time.

“Right now we’re looking at everything,” Abele said.

COLIN ATAGI, THE DESERT SUN

Emergency crews work to remove victims from a bus crash along westbound Interstate 10 on Sunday in Palm Springs. CHP officers had been slowing traffic to allow utility work on the road.

He did not give the nationalities of the victims but said authorities were in contact with consular officials of Mexico, Japan and Australia.

Throughout the morning, firefighters struggled to reach victims. The bus crashed into the big rig’s trailer, and a tow truck was used to lift the trailer and help officials gain easier access to the demolished vehicle. Another tow truck tried to pull the truck off the bus. Firefighters positioned ladders at windows of the bus to

remove victims.

The tour bus, which was carrying 44 passengers, belongs to USA Holiday, a Los Angelesbased tour company. USA Holiday regularly carries passengers from the Los Angeles area to Southern California casinos. According to its Facebook page, USA Holiday has recently made trips to Tortoise Rock Casino, Red Earth Casino and Las Vegas.

The crash was among the deadliest in California in years. In April 2014, 10 people were killed

in a fiery crash near Orland, Calif., when a FedEx tractor-trailer crossed a narrow median on Interstate 5 and slammed into a bus carrying high school students from Los Angeles on their way to visit a college campus.

In a tweet posted Sunday afternoon, the NTSB said it was dispatching a team of investigators to the crash scene.

Trump just defending himself against accusers, aide says GOP nominee: ‘These liars will be sued’ David M Jackson USA TODAY

While Donald Trump devoted most of a big weekend speech to policy, he also spent time attacking his critics and threatening to sue women who have accused him of inappropriate sexual advances, which a top aide said Sunday is simply the GOP nominee defending himself.

“It’s a way to defend himself, and remind everybody what he

has said many times, which is none of this is true,” campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“They’re fabrications, they’re all lies.”

While Trump used his speech Saturday in Gettysburg, Pa., to outline his first 100 days in office, he also wanted to talk about “the rigged, corrupt system” he is fighting, Conway told NBC. “And it did, unfortunately, include some of the media. Not most, not all, but it does include some.”

In recent weeks, more than 10 women have come forward to accuse Trump of some form of sexual assault.

Condemning his accusers in his speech at Gettysburg, Trump said that “all of these liars will be sued once the election is over. ... I look so forward to doing that.”

During a discussion of his first 100 days as president, Trump talked about cutting taxes, reducing federal regulations, cracking down on illegal immigration, a government pay freeze and new lobbying restrictions on former government officials. The Republican nominee pledged to “drain the swamp” of Washington, D.C. Conway, appearing Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, acknowledged Trump used to be an “insider” himself, and “that gives

him the credibility and the legitimacy to go and fight the system from the outside in. He knows how corrosive and corrupt it is.”

Trump and his aides said Democrats and the media are behind

the accusations that have surfaced in recent weeks. Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said “these accusations are not coming from our campaign.”

Asked on CNN if the Clinton campaign has had any contact with Trump’s accusers, Mook said, “not that I’m aware of — I don’t know about any contact.”

Mook also noted that Trump spent time during his policy address attacking his accusers.

“His top priority right now is to attack these people ... who are bringing up concerns,” Mook said. “We’re seeing it across the board. He should just apologize and move on.”

SOUTH AFRICA

‘Dealing with past injustices ... is the basis for moving forward’ Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

South Africa’s long racially divided political history made a breakthrough when Nelson Mandela became the first black and democratically elected president in 1994, following the end of the white minority apartheid state.

Today, the country remains torn by a gulf between rich and poor. Many residents say the government’s promise of better jobs and homes has not materialized amid high unemployment and corruption scandals. Meanwhile, the elite, made up of all races, flaunt their wealth. And racial divides continue, as seen after black pupils in the capital Pretoria accused their school of discrimination because they were forced to chemically straighten their hair.

Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC) party dominated for two decades, buoyed by its role in securing majority rule. But in August, it lost power for the first time in Johannesburg, the largest city, where the rival Democratic Alliance prevailed in local elections. It was the worst loss ever for Mandela’s party.

One reason for that setback is anger over President Jacob Zuma’s role in various scandals since he came to power in 2009.

One involves more than $20 million of taxpayers’ money spent to remodel his private home. Zuma’s office said he recently paid back more than $500,000 of the cost.

As dissatisfaction with the ANC grows, the country could

face another period of bitter political discord leading up to the presidential election in 2019.

Kumi Naidoo is past director of Africans Rising, a government advisory and leadership group.

“I

f Trump is elected, it will be seismic. It’s partly a guess that Hillary’s going to be president and how will she heal all the damage that’s been done by Trump? ... The U.S. is a very divided society.

“The most important healing is (needed) when very many people feel they are being disenfranchised. How do you address that?

Of course, this is not easy but es-

sential to do if the levels of fragmentation in the U.S. are not to continue. South Africa had to come out of a legacy of institutionalized racism, which was enshrined for many decades. The way we tried to deal with it was we set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the first democratic election, which was chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who brought the nation together in a very painful conversation. It was not a perfect process, it did not do the full job, but it did actually lay the basis for a very open conversation about how do you place blame, how do you move beyond blame and how do you move toward healing?

“Having lived (in the USA), I do not believe it has done nearly enough to deal with its legacies of injustice. America FOR USA TODAY must deal with Kumi Naidoo its past the way South Africa tried to deal with its legacies.

“The U.S. must deal with its genocide of the original peoples of North America. The other legacy is that of slavery. Dealing with past injustices with honesty, dignity and compassion is the basis for moving forward.

“Of course, this is not easy work but essential to do if the level of fragmentation in the U.S. is not to continue further.”

TURKEY

‘If we learn anything, we learn it from (the) people who are different from us’ Nikolia Apostolou Special for USA TODAY

In 2003, Turkish voters elected Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP), which moved the country gradually away from a past marked by the rule of secularists. Since the 1920s, they tried to homogenize Turkey’s multicultural society by suppressing religious and cultural expression to erase the influence of the Ottoman legacy.

Over the following decade under the AKP, religious conservatism was stamped on Turkey’s political and social landscape.

Minorities, like the Kurds, as well as leftists and those leading a liberal lifestyle, chafed under increasing restrictions on civil freedoms.

tended to activists, journalists, artists — anyone opposed to the government. The climax came that year, when protests over a government construction project at Istanbul’s Gezi park led to a crackdown in which 11 were killed and 8,000 injured.

Many Turks, including conservatives, were shocked. As a result, Turkish voters punished the AKP in 2015 by denying it a majority in parliament. It was a serious blow to the party. Besides concern over the crackdown and earlier edicts restricting basic freedoms, voters were worried about slowing economic growth and the civil war in neighboring Syria that sent a flood of refugees into Turkey. The final straw was Erdogan’s heavyhanded attempt to make himself president for life by amending the constitution.

Just months after the elections, however, a cease-fire with Kurdish separatists fell apart, reigniting fighting in the decadesold conflict. Also, the Islamic State set off bombs in Ankara, the capital, killing 90 young people during a protest. It was the country’s worst terror attack.

On Nov. 1, voters, concerned about the violence, voted overwhelmingly for Erdogan’s party based on its vow to restore stability. Yet, right after that victory, Erdogan resumed policies that have divided Turks along religious and ethnic lines and pitted urban against rural interests.

Today, the fault lines have only increased after more than a dozen terror attacks and the summer’s attempted coup.

Tens of thousands of civil servants, military personnel and educators have been arrested, and there has been a crackdown on the media.

London-based Elif Shafak is one of Turkey’s renowned novelists. An advocate for women’s rights and free speech, she was prosecuted by the government in 2006 for insulting “Turkishness” in one of her novels.

“I

n a world where there’s so much happening, so fast, where there’s the fear that the next terror attack could happen any time, in a world where you see lots of displacement (of refugees), many people fear that the future is going to be very

ambivalent.

“Where they make a mistake is to think that if they close the doors, live in smaller tribal communities, they’ll feel safer.

“That is an illusion. But the fear is real, and we have to understand that.

“We are mostly divided into invisible ghettos, islands of people that do not break bread together.

In such an enviFETHI KARADUMAN ronment, it’s Elif Shafak much more difficult to cultivate a culture of coexistence and remind people of our shared values. For me, they have to revolve around democratic values.

“Because the number of people who say ‘maybe democracy is not the only way’ and ‘maybe it’s not suitable for our culture’ is increasing, those alternative models could be authoritarian.

So we have to renew people’s faith in democracy. We need to revive a radical humanism that shows what people have in common and not focus only on the differences.

“I’m worried about the rise of populism, the rise of tribalism, the rise of a new politics based on emotions and fear.

“We need to understand what people are afraid of and why they are so anxious about the future.

We should never belittle fear or anxiety.

“But also all around the world, we see more and more angry white male politicians speaking very loudly and appealing to the feelings of the masses. This is a very dangerous trend. Because we live in a globalized world, the madness happening in one country has repercussions beyond the borders.

“That’s why we need to promote cosmopolitanism. If we learn anything, we learn it from people who are different from us.

“For extremism to work, (populists) need to dehumanize ‘the other.’ Fiction rehumanizes. Fiction tells us that the person you saw as ‘the other’ has a story. If you know that person’s story, you can connect with that person’s sorrow or hopes.

“In a world of so much conflict, we need the art of story-telling like never before.”

ITALY

Dole out for all an ‘even degree of unhappiness’ Eric J. Lyman

Special for USA TODAY

The defining moment in postWorld War II Italian politics came in the early 1990s, when hundreds of political leaders were indicted in the mani pulite (clean hands) corruption scandal that overturned the existing political structure. The upheaval opened the door for Silvio Berlusconi, a billionaire real estate and media tycoon, to rise to power.

Berlusconi was prime minister for nine of 17 years and a vocal opposition figure when out of office.

But he was dogged by legal problems, scandal, cronyism and inefficiencies. And Italy became increasingly polarized by those who loved and hated him.

By the time he resigned in 2011, he had become highly unpopular.

Italy’s credit rating had been downgraded multiple times, the economy was contracting, the political system had stalled, and the country was on the verge of defaulting on its debt.

The man Italians chose to end the divisiveness and fix things was Mario Monti, a well-regarded economist who had until then rejected overtures to get into politics. But, he said, “I really didn’t think I could say ‘no’ because the crisis had grown so dire. If I would have said ‘no’ I would have had to leave Italy for the rest of my life because I would have been so ashamed.”

Monti used Italy’s financial crisis to get all sides talking. He doled out an “even degree of unhappiness, well measured” for everyone.

“The political parties, the social partners and trade unions were ready to accept temporary sacrifices that would have been otherwise unthinkable,” he said.

The plan mostly worked. Monti, more a technocrat than a politician, served for nearly 18 months.

By the time he left, the economy had stabilized, interest rates were

low, and the risk of default had been avoided.

Former prime minister Mario Monti is president of Bocconi University and a senator for life.

“W

hen I took control of the government, there were three emergencies, really. One was the financial situation and the risk of default.

Another was the growing gap between public opinion and the politicians.

And the third — within the parties in parliament — there no comAP was Mario Monti promise.

“The centerright, headed by Mr. Berlusconi, and the center-left, headed by Mr. (Pier Luigi) Bersani, wouldn’t even speak to each other. The situation was such that people, from the man on the street to other capitals, worried that the Italian state might not be able to pay salaries and pensions. And we had in front of us the devastating example of Greece.

“What helped was this financial emergency, the sense of acute emergency, made all the political parties, the social partners and trade unions ready to accept temporary sacrifices that would have been otherwise unthinkable. And I was leveraging on this basis.

“I am sure I would not have been the one called to do the job (if there were only a political crisis). The country needed somebody because of past experience — and I hope some accumulated credibility — whose mere appointment would help calm the markets and collect a high degree of (international) support.

“It would have been unimaginable for me to be asked to be only a political healer of the country.”

MEXICO

Vow to accept any outcome — even an unfavorable one David Agren

Special for USA TODAY

Andrés Manuel López Obrador lost Mexico’s 2006 presidential election by less than 1 percentage point. He alleged electoral fraud, paralyzed central Mexico City with protests and later proclaimed himself the legitimate president. Supporters tried to physically prevent election winner Felipe Calderón from taking the oath of office.

A decade later, Mexico still suffers the consequences of an election that the left-wing politician never conceded. He often talks of the system being rigged against him, and supporters contend that their opponents poisoned the well by branding him in attack ads as “a danger for Mexico.”

Analysts say López Obrador, who argued Mexico was in need of radical change, was unwilling to put aside personal ambition for the good of the nation.

“This has always been the main issue in Mexico,” said Jorge Castañeda, Mexican foreign minister from 2000 to 2003.

The immediate fallout was Mexico’s war on drugs, Castañeda said. Calderón sought to increase his legitimacy by cracking down on drug cartels, a rising threat as he took office that dominated his presidency. Today, soldiers are still in the streets and more than 100,000 lives have been lost.

Mexico also rewrote its election laws in 2007 to avoid another divisive election by banning negative ads and limiting political speech of non-politicians.

Castañeda said candidates should promise to accept any outcome, even an unfavorable one, to avoid a rerun of Mexico’s problems. López Obrador “didn’t accept the rules after the fact,” he said. “This is what led to the division and bitterness.”

Gerardo Priego Tapía was a coordinator for the Calderón campaign in 2006 and served in Congress from 2006 to 2009.

“T

here wasn’t much to celebrate (during Calderón’s inauguration).

The political parties did nothing to show the citizenry that we had to unite.

Celebrating did nothing to close wounds. To the contrary, it exacerbated the conflict.

“We had six FOR USA TODAY years of permanent conflict. We Gerardo Priego Tapía saw it in Congress.

It’s something that got into Mexicans’ hearts and it’s still there. The problem is that in the healing process, society, like the political parties, hasn’t been able to find a way to heal.

“These two candidates caused the tension to continue. They were both stubborn, and their people were the same.

“The U.S. has a deeply rooted idea of solidarity. It’s an important part of U.S society, but not ours.

The United States has strong institutions, while in Mexico, civil society is weak. It’s something they are going to have to take advantage of now.

“The main conflict is between politicians, but what is said between ‘professional’ politicians isn’t translated the same way by ordinary people.

“How this strong discourse from Donald Trump is interpreted at the grass roots is different from how it’s discussed among politicians on the national level. The strong statements are taken more seriously. This discourse of resentment is much more grave. This is what we have seen in Mexico after the (2006) election and so many years of division.”

BREXIT COULD MEAN EXIT FOR LONDON BANKS A “bank drain” of sorts could start in London as banks exit amid uncertainty about the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union’s single market, the British Bankers’ Association chief warns. According to the Associated Press, Anthony Browne said Sunday in “The Observer” that banks fear EU politicians will erect trade barriers to try to undermine London.

U.S. ECONOMY MAY SEE 2%-PLUS GDP GROWTH The economy is seen growing at its fastest pace in a year when the government releases its initial reading on third-quarter GDP Friday. Citigroup estimates growth of 2.5% in the July-thruSeptember quarter, which would mark the first time the economy has grown by at least 2% since last year’s third quarter.

EARNINGS REMAIN THE TOP FOCUS OF WALL STREET The quarterly parade of profit reports from U.S. companies is taking on added importance this week after the profit growth forecast for the S&P 500 stock index turned positive last week, raising hopes that the profit recession is ending. Third-quarter earnings show growth of 1.1%, according to tracker Thomson Reuters. Profits have contracted four straight quarters.

Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric fanning flames of anti-Semitism, racism on Twitter, observers say Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

O

SAN FRANCISCO

n Sunday night, Hadas Gold, a Politico media writer, began receiving threats on

Twitter.

One image superimposed a yellow star of David on her shirt and a bloody bullet hole in her forehead. Another Photoshopped her face on a corpse in a concentration camp oven. The message: “Don’t mess with our boy Trump, or you will be first in line for the camp.”

Gold, whose grandmother fled Poland with her family weeks before Jews from their neighborhood were deported to concentration camps and whose grandfather lost about half of his extended family in the Holocaust, notified Twitter, which moved quickly to suspend the accounts.

Gold says these incidents have become increasingly common “the more we wrote about Trump, and the more we wrote about his rhetoric.”

A report this week from the Anti-Defamation League documented the rise in anti-Semitic tweets targeting journalists who cover the Republican presidential candidate. From August 2015 to July 2016, the ADL found 2.6 million tweets with anti-Semitic language. Of those, nearly 20,000 tweets were directed at 50,000 journalists in the U.S., with more than two-thirds of the tweets sent by 1,600 Twitter accounts. Words that appear frequently in the profiles of these accounts: Trump, nationalist, conservative, white.

“The report is representative of the bigotry and hatred that we are seeing play out on a broader scale,” said Oren Segal, director of ADL’s Center on Extremism and

During this turbulent election season that has fanned the flames of racism, xenophobia, sexism and bigotry, hate speech that typically resides in the dark recesses of the Internet has bubbled into the mainstream and onto Twitter, a popular online hangout for journalists and politicians such as Trump, who has millions of followers there.

Because people don’t have to use their real names on the service, they can attack people of color, women, Muslims and other groups with very little risk.

“This is only a fraction of what’s happening online right

now as a result of the legitimacy (that) various extremist ideologies have been given in this campaign season,” said Ryan Lenz, editor of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog.

“We have seen a massive rise of hate speech.”

Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks says the campaign has “no knowledge of this activity” and strongly condemns “any commentary that is anti-Semitic.”

“We totally disavow hateful rhetoric online or otherwise,” Hicks wrote in an emailed statement.

Conversations that take place

on Twitter, famous for its 140character limit, tap into the nation’s pulse, be it the protests on the streets of Ferguson, Mo., the congressional sit-in over gun control or the launch of Beyonce’s Lemonade album. But more and more, people venturing onto the service to catch up on news or with friends are confronted with hatred and bigotry spewed by the fringes of society, Segal says.

“When there is such a volume, we have to ask ourselves what can we do? What can the Internet service providers do? What can vast segments of society do? So that we hold people accountable and create safe spaces online the way we expect those spaces to be in the real world,” he said.

For years, Twitter has faced sharp criticism for not aggressively enough policing abuse and harassment on its service.

Twitter says its rules “prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others.”

Yet Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and policy positions such as banning Muslims from entering the U.S. “have really mainstreamed Islamophobia in our nation,” said Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“He’s given permission to all those who held anti-Muslim views or might have formed antiMuslim views recently to go public with them quite proudly.

Whereas before maybe they would have been reluctant to be so open about their bigotry, now you have a major American public figure saying that’s perfectly OK. In fact, it’s somehow patriotic,” Hooper said.

AT&T deal could spur more mergers, scrutiny $85.4B acquisition of Time Warner is a huge domino Mike Snider and Roger Yu USA TODAY

Harry Potter, Anthony Bourdain, Superman, Bill Simmons and Charles Barkley are all going to work for a phone company.

AT&T’s planned $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner, the New York-based company that owns HBO, CNN, TNT and Warner Bros. film studio, is a huge domino falling in the content business.

The deal, which comes with the requisite promises of innovation and cost-savings, will make competitors in the Internet and media businesses uneasy.

The move could also set off a new wave of telecommunications companies and Internet giants, such as Google and Apple, buying or making deals with popular content programmers, further blurring the boundaries among the industries.

In fact, Apple had been rumored for months to be a potential acquirer of Time Warner.

Google’s interest in buying premium entertainment content, such as the right to stream NFL games, has also been widely reported.

Other cable network operators that could be potential takeover targets include: AMC Networks, best-known for its top-rated TV show The Walking Dead, but which also owns BBC America and SundanceTV; and Discovery Communications, which owns Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel and Animal Planet.

The acquisition, which marries partners in distribution and content, will trigger multiple layers of complexity for customers, industry regulators, investors and consumer watchdogs as they sort out revenue possibilities and conflicts of interest.

But competitors of Time Warner or AT&T can no longer afford to stand by idly. Time Warner’s Chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes intimated as much, saying the deal was partly to get ahead of competitors.

“You’re going to see all kinds of distributors following,” he said in a conference call Saturday night.

“And you’re going to see a kind of revolution in the TV world.”

Telecom providers have been

GENE PAGE, AMC

The Walking Dead is AMC Networks’ top-rated show. AMC, which also owns BBC America, is a possible takeover target. shopping for content companies as their wireless smartphone and broadband Internet service markets mature and growth slows.

“As upside from data usage seems to be increasingly capped, we would not be surprised if other distributors were to potentially embrace larger opportunities in the content arena over time,” said Barclays analysts Kannan Venkateshwar and Amir Rozwadowski in a recent note to investors.

Ownership of Time Warner’s

content — including Harry Potter movies, CNN, NBA basketball on TNT, MLB baseball on TBS, HBO’s critically acclaimed shows, and DC Entertainment films, whose franchises include Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman — guarantees that AT&T can readily make those programs available on its DirecTV satellite TV service without cumbersome negotiations.

AT&T can also stream those shows to its Internet-delivered

and wireless DirecTV-branded streaming services in the works — and waive monthly data limits for AT&T smartphone and Internet customers. AT&T bought DirecTV last year for $48.5 billion.

With more consumers streaming on their mobile devices, Bewkes, whose company had been wooed by others, pulled the trigger on the deal largely because he was drawn to the idea of delivering his content to consumers on “a multiplatform basis,” he said.

Beyond that, AT&T gets revenue by licensing those movies and TV series to other pay-TV providers and subscription Net TV services such as Netflix.

“Video and entertainment will remain the key driver for the future of consumer-oriented services,” said Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates. “Video, virtual reality, and other entertainment experiences are data hungry.

They will be the experiences that push consumers to higher tiers of broadband or mobile data.”

Owning content also helps payTV providers to avoid costly conflicts over the escalating prices they pay to carry programming, he said.

Dear Annie: For years, I’ve been frustrated with my wife’s family and wished I could see her relatives change for the better.

But I fear this family is making some really bad decisions that will soon destroy the family for good. After years of not being able to pay for their home, her relatives lost it, and that same year, they had to borrow a lot of money from us for medical expenses. Then my sisterin-law quit her steady job and jumped into a really dicey business scheme.

There’s a lovely young girl in the family who I just started to suspect has a serious speech delay. (I’m a professor of neurolinguistics.) The last straw was when I asked my wife what the pediatrician says about it. My

wife says this child is seen in their home by a family friend who’s a nurse.

It’s impossible for us to keep watching. Is there any way to help them (money is out of the question at this point), or should we just cut ties before their ship sinks? — Can’t Watch Anymore Dear Can’t Watch: Though you can’t stop their ship from sinking, you could at least throw them a couple

Tired ideas sink ‘Man with a Plan’ Here’s a novel idea for a sitcom. Have the wife and mom go back to work and leave the hapless husband largely in charge of the kids and let hilarity ensue. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s roughly the plot to the uninspired new Kevin James sitcom ‘‘Kevin Can Wait.’’

Sadly, the same story applies to ‘‘Man With a Plan’’ (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG). Matt LeBlanc (’’Friends’’) stars as Adam, a contractor called upon to do more parenting when his fairly generic wife returns to her hospital job.

LeBlanc wears his Carhart construction worker outfits well and has fun with the old-school alpha-male role, but all of the other characters are merely foils for his routine.

A meager script features a recurring joke about his adolescent son playing with himself. That’s about as deep as the characters go here. It almost makes me appreciate the more interesting children on the new ABC comedies ‘‘American Housewife’’ and ‘‘Speechless,’’ unknowns who upstage the stars of those series.

Much like ‘‘Kevin Can Wait,’’ this is all about watching Joey — I mean, Adam — adjusting to his fish-out-of-water role as a macho man among PTA moms and children.

Having set up the situation of Adam as a successful contractor, the pilot seems to abandon the idea. Adam never gets called to report to any other jobs, and his work/parenting conflict is never explored. This also robs us of the chance to see Adam hold his own with other alpha males. That may be a bridge too far for LeBlanc, whose various TV roles have never exactly called upon him to act the tough guy.

Not as dreadful as ‘‘Joey,’’ this sitcom should make us appreciate what the writers of the brilliant ‘‘Episodes’’ could do with LeBlanc when they merely allowed him to be himself.

As mediocre as ‘‘Plan’’ is, it will probably be good enough for CBS. The network just announced second-season pickups for ‘‘Kevin,’’ ‘‘MacGyver’’ and ‘‘Bull,’’ three of the weaker new series in a rather uneventful network season.

Tonight’s other highlights O Tim McGraw and Faith Hill appear on ‘‘The Voice’’ (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O The Mad Hatter goes bonkers on ‘‘Gotham’’ (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O ‘‘Antiques Roadshow’’ (7 p.m., PBS, r, TV-G, check local listings) explores vintage baby boomer collectibles.

O Michael Imperioli (’’The Sopranos’’) guest-stars on ‘‘Lucifer’’ (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

of lifesavers. The first would be regarding the girl’s speech. Seeing as you’re a professor of neurolinguistics, you have good reason to raise the issue with them. Let them know that based on your experience, you think the girl’s delayed speech may be cause for concern.

The second issue, related to the first, is that of the child’s general well-being.

Implore your wife to talk to the child’s parents about seeing a pediatrician for wellness checkups.

Although it doesn’t sound that extreme from what you’ve told me, if you ever start to suspect neglect, then visit the Child Welfare Information Gateway’s website, at childwelfare.gov, for resources.

Beaty: Jayhawks must score more

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas defense among the best in Big 12 Third down, the clutch down in football, tells polar-opposite tales about a Kansas football team seeking its first Big 12 victory in two seasons.

In games against Big 12 competition only, the Kansas defense ranks first in the conference with a 37.7 percent success rate on third down. The offense ranks last with a 33.3 percent Wise conversion rate.

Turnovers tell the same two tales.

The defense ranks second to Baylor Armstrong with eight turnovers gained and the offense has the most turnovers with 14 in four Big 12 games.

The performance of the KU defense proves the school can recruit and develop talent well enough to compete. At this point in the rebuilding project, the defense clearly is way ahead of the offense.

KU’s defense ranks among the Big 12’s best despite not getting into the homes of preferred recruits as easily as most Big 12 schools.

It all starts up front, specifically with two players recruited out of high school who are playing at an allconference level.

Third-year sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise, recruited to Kansas

by Scott Vestal, a Charlie Weis assistant, was listed at 6-foot-2, 242 pounds, and graded as a two-star recruit

by Rivals.

After one summer in Scott Holsopple’s weight room and two in Je’Ney Jackson’s, Wise weighs 285 pounds. He occupies a great deal of the offensive line’s attention and makes everybody’s job easier.

Wise has refined his technique under the tutelage of Michael Slater, his third defensive line coach in three seasons.

Sophomore Dorance Armstrong, a speedy, 6-4 defensive end, weighed 217 pounds when he arrived in Lawrence, from Houston. Jackson, who has high

The 250 passing yards and season-high 204 rushing yards posted in a loss to Oklahoma State allowed David Beaty to call his offense an improved product this week. The reality of life

in the Big 12, though, meant the University of Kansas football coach could hardly characterize the effort as a success.

As Beaty said following a 44-20 defeat at Memorial Stadium, the only number that really matters is the point total.

“We scored 20 points.

Yeah, we moved the ball quite a bit, up and down the field. But we put 20 points on the board,” a frustrated Beaty said. “And I know we went for it on fourth down down there (early in the fourth quarter, behind by 14), but we were in a situ-

ation where we needed a touchdown there, and we felt good about the call (a Montell Cozart pass for LaQuvionte Gonzalez with the ball at OSU’s four-yard line), and we just didn’t execute it well enough. We’ve

Efficient Chiefs hold off Saints

CHIEFS QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH LOOKS FOR a receiver. Smith threw two touchdown passes in the Chiefs’ 27-21 victory over New Orleans on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo. — Alex Smith huddled with Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in front of his locker, not more than 15 minutes after Kansas City had beaten the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

If they were already dissecting his performance, they weren’t going to find many faults.

Smith threw two touchdown passes in another calm, efficient outing, and Daniel Sorensen returned an interception of Drew Brees for an-

other score as the Chiefs held on for a 27-21 victory.

“Everybody trusts Alex, man. Alex is a pro,” said Tyreek Hill, who made an acrobatic 38-yard TD catch to help the Chiefs (4-2) win their ninth consecutive home game. “He’s good. He’s the truth.”

Smith was helped by another big game from Spencer Ware, the one-time fill-in for Jamaal Charles who’s become a star. He had 77 yards rushing to go with a 46-yard TD catch.

“He runs with a lot of

Sporting KC’s Brad Davis to retire Kansas City, Kan. — Sporting Kansas City midfielder Brad Davis says he will retire from professional soccer after a 15-year career that included two MLS Cup titles and six All-Star selections.

The 34-year-old Davis has 60 goals and 132 assists in 419 games in Major League Soccer.

He announced his retirement Sunday.

Davis will be remembered primarily for 10 seasons with Houston, where he helped the Dynamo win MLS Cup titles in 2006 and 2007. He also led them to championship games in 2011 and 2012, and remains their career leader in starts, games played and assists.

Davis, who also played for the MetroStars and Dallas Burn, joined Sporting KC in January. He has three goals and two assists this season.

Logano wins Talladega Talladega, Ala. — Joey Logano grabbed a critical win to give Team Penske one car in the next round of NASCAR’s playoffs. Denny Hamlin edged Austin Dillon for a final spot in the field on a tiebreaker Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.

Logano wasn’t in a mustwin situation, but the victory gave him a guaranteed slot on a day when the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field was cut Logano from 12 to eight drivers.

But engine troubles for Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski counted for two of the eliminations, and the race ultimately came down to a late battle for the final transfer spot between Hamlin and Dillon.

Hamlin finished third and Dillon was ninth. They ended the round tied in points, but the eighth and final slot went to Hamlin on a tiebreaker.

Also eliminated Sunday was Chase Elliott. Advancing are: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Logano and Hamlin.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

KU made strong impression on Young

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas men’s basketball program knew heading into the weekend that it had a golden opportunity to roll out the red carpet and wow Class of 2017 point guard Trae Young on his official visit to Lawrence.

From the sound of things, that’s exactly what Bill Self and company did.

Young, the No. 14-ranked player in the 2017 class, according to Rivals.com, arrived Friday, shared the stage only with forward Deng Gak (Rivals’ No.

91 player in 2017) and went back home to Norman, Okla., early Sunday morning following a 5-a.m.-sendoff by the entire KU coaching staff.

“It was crazy. I loved it,” Young told Matt Scott of TheShiver.com after arriving back home Sunday. “It was a great visit.”

Added his father, Rayford Young, who played his college ball at Texas Tech: “It was ridiculous.”

Although the meaning of the word the elder Young used to describe the visit often carries two meanings, it sound-

“

It was crazy. I loved it. It was a great visit.”

— Class of 2017 point guard Trae Young on his official visit to KU ed as if only the positive form came into play this weekend. In fact, Young told Scott that the KU staff pulled out all of the stops during various portions of the weekend, the most memorable being video highlights of his father’s 41-point night in a 1999 upset of Kansas, complete with a clip of his mother, Candice, rushing the floor in celebration.

got to be able to score more than 20 points.

We’ve got good enough players to do that, and we’ve got to continue to execute and get better.”

In six consecutive losses, Kansas (1-6 overall, 0-4 Big 12) has failed to score more than 23 points. The Jayhawks only scored seven in losses at Memphis and Baylor. Beaty knows the offense has kept KU from pulling off an upset victory. Unprovoked, at the end of his post-game news conference Saturday, the head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach made a point after praising starting QB Cozart (24-for-40, 250 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions versus OSU)

praise for the work ethic of both Wise and Armstrong, has showed the D-End the path to 242 pounds without losing any speed.

Armstrong is tied for second in Big 12 play with five sacks and tied for second in the conference in all games with seven sacks. He is the program’s loudest talent since Aqib Talib, a 2008 first-round NFL draft choice.

Calvin Thibodeaux, now Oklahoma’s D-line coach, was the lead recruiter on Armstrong.

falling into an early 7-0 hole.

Ware’s touchdown on a screen pass and Sorensen’s pick-six off a batted ball quickly turned the momentum, and Hill added his long touchdown reception to make it 21-7 at the break.

The Saints drew within a touchdown on Mark Ingram’s catch midway through the third quarter, but the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner fumbled inside the Kansas City 10 with 8:26 left in the game.

“That’s just everybody flying to the ball,” said the Chiefs’ Marcus Peters, who recovered it.

The fumble with the Chiefs leading 24-14 proved to be pivotal. New

Orleans got the ball back and eventually scored, but the extra time it took may have cost them a chance to win the game.

“You play a good team on the road, penalties and turnovers, they can really do you in,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

“Interception return for a touchdown on thirdand-long, fumble in the red zone and we’re not a good enough team to overcome some of those mistakes.”

The Saints struggled with the crowd noise in Arrowhead Stadium, getting flagged for four false starts and a delay of game. They also got hit with two unnecessary roughness penalties.

to again hammer home his dissatisfaction with KU’s scoring.

The Jayhawks averaged 17.2 points through four Big 12 games. Beaty said they’ll have to find ways to put up 40-plus in this conference.

“We’ve got to score more points, though. Get that ball in the end zone so we can win a game, man,” Beaty said.

To his point about points, the top six scoring teams in the conference all average at least 30 an outing in Big 12 play, led by Oklahoma’s monstrous 50.2.

Senior KU running back Ke’aun Kinner rushed for 145 yards against the Cowboys.

Referencing his own lost fumble in the midst of a tight game and the Jayhawks’ 25 turnovers this season, Kinner spoke of obvious ways to make the

team more competitive.

“We just have to stop making mistakes,” Kinner said. “I mean, everything was working, everything was going our way (KU led most of the first half vs. OSU). We just didn’t capitalize.”

Offensive line’s performance KU’s starting offensive line of left tackle Hakeem Adeniji, left guard Jayson Rhodes, center Joe Gibson, right guard Mesa Ribordy and right tackle D’Andre Banks held up well against Oklahoma State’s defensive front.

Cozart maintained his no-sack season and KU only lost six yards on rushing plays all afternoon.

“I think our guys are getting a little bit better, which is good,” Beaty said. “I’m going to have to watch the tape, but there

was some real challenge thrown out to those guys this week. But I thought Montell did a nice job of not getting those guys exposed by getting rid of the ball on time, using his eyes. That’s really how it can work when you do it correctly.”

The head coach revealed redshirt freshman Ribordy felt ill all Friday night, prior to the game, and even vomited on the sideline while battling “some kind of flu or something.” At one juncture, junior Gibson had to sub out and Ribordy filled in at center.

“And the dude was sick as a ghost, man. He looked like a ghost, he was so white,” Beaty said of the 6-foot-4, 290-pound freshman from Louisburg. “But I was proud of that dude because he never asked out one time.

He’s a tough kid.”

Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen joined Thibodeux on a home recruiting visit that went so well that Armstrong, a three-star recruit, didn’t bother visiting Michigan State, Texas Tech, Houston, California and other schools that had offered him a scholarship.

Coaches putting the right pieces in the right places around Armstrong and Wise has enabled the two young talents to thrive.

Bowen and linebackers coach Todd Bradford hit it off right off the bat and have enjoyed chalk talks ever since Bradford came on board after Kevin Kane returned to North-

ern Illinois. Bowen, with input from Bradford and drawing to some extent on the “bandit-package” defense employed by former KU coordinator Bill Young when Brandon Perkins set the school’s single-game sack record with six, has made good use of hybrid linebacker/ defensive end Cameron Rosser and others. Without changing personnel, Kansas switches at times from play to play from a three-man front to a four-man front, confusing quarterbacks.

KU ranks tied for second with Texas, four behind TCU, with 14 sacks in conference games.

of ball screens, but coach Self really lets them go in transition. It they couldn’t score in transition, they would set up and run offense. It was really cool to see them go over different plays.”

With his official visits now behind him, Young plans to take a little more time before making his decision. He always has planned to wait until the spring signing period to make things official and, according to Scott, that hasn’t changed. But just because he won’t sign until the spring does not mean he won’t reveal his final decision sooner.

physicality and determination, but a lot of agility,” Smith said. “He’s a good mix and I think you just see a guy who has great vision.”

Brees tried to rally the Saints (2-4) once again, pulling them within 24-21 on a touchdown pass to Brandon Coleman with 2:33 left. But the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds, Kansas City added a field goal and the Saints could do nothing in the final 28 seconds to change the outcome.

Brees finished with 367 yards and three TD passes, but much of that offense came while he was trying to rally his team. It was another uneven performance away from the Superdome for the New Orleans quarterback, who was coming off a 465-yard game last week against Carolina.

“Listen, we’ve set the bar pretty high at home, haven’t we? We can’t expect 500 yards on the road,” he said. “It’s what home-field advantage is, right? We can definitely execute better though.”

Meanwhile, the Chiefs showed some moxie after

“That was awesome,” Rayford told Scott. “That was really cool of them to do.”

While recruiting an athlete’s parents always plays at least some kind of role in these things, the bulk of the weekend was spent trying to help Young visualize being a Jayhawk. He toured the campus, met with strength coach Andrea Hudy, spent time with

the current KU players and, of course, talked plenty to Self and his assistants.

“He said I could come in and make an impact right away and that I would play just as many minutes at KU as I would anywhere else in the country as a freshman,” said Young when asked about Self’s main message.

Young also loved what he saw from the practice he and his father watched while in town.

“Practice was really good,” he said. “It was really intense. They ran a lot of stuff and ran a lot

KU freshman Kansas soccer stuns Baylor, 3-1 tied for seventh

Louisville, Ky. — Playing as an individual, Kansas freshman Yi-Tsen Chou finished the first round of the Cardinal Cup tied for seventh overall after she shot a career-best 75 on Sunday.

“Yi-Tsen played very steady (Sunday) and was able to capitalize on birdie opportunities,” KU women’s golf coach Erin O’Neil said. “She has been working hard on her game and it’s great to see that effort paying off.”

The Jayhawks finished the round 33 strokes over par with a 321 and stand in a tie for 13th with Bradley.

KU’s Ariadna Fonseca Diaz shot a 7-over 79 and is tied for 39th. Annika Cedo finished with an 80 and is tied for 44th. Victoria Chandra and Kallie Gonzales are tied with each other in 62nd place after they both shot an 81.

NFL ROUNDUP

OT field goal lifts Chargers to win overtime loss last week at Houston. But Luck he improved to 8-0 against the Titans with yet another comeback win. He finished with 353 yards passing and three TDs, the last after Tennessee went up 23-20.

The Associated Press

Chargers 33, Falcons 30 Atlanta — Josh Lambo’s 42-yard field goal in overtime gave San Diego its first road win of the year Sunday as the team rallied from a 17-point deficit.

The Chargers (3-4) trailed 27-10 in the second quarter. They had lost 11 of their past 12 road games.

Linebacker Denzel Perryman delivered two key plays late in the game. Perryman’s interception of Matt Ryan’s pass for Julio Jones set up Lambo’s tying 33yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining in regulation.

Perryman’s fourthand-1 stop on running back Devonta Freeman gave San Diego the ball at Atlanta’s 43 for the Chargers’ winning drive.

Perryman grabbed Freeman’s feet behind the line for the key tackle on the Falcons’ gamble.

Eagles 21, Vikings 10 Philadelphia — Josh Huff returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, Carson Wentz outplayed Sam Bradford and Philadelphia beat Minnesota, handing the latter team its first loss of the season.

The Eagles (4-2) snapped a two-game slide while the rested Vikings (5-1) hardly looked like an unbeaten team after having a bye.

Bradford returned to Philadelphia for the first time since his trade to Minnesota eight days before the season opener paved the way for Wentz to start. Bradford was 7-7 in his only season with the Eagles and won his first four starts for the Vikings.

But the Eagles pressured and harassed their former quarterback all game, sacked him six times, and forced his first three turnovers this season.

Dolphins 28, Bills 25 Miami Gardens, Fla. — Jay Ajayi tied an NFL record by surpassing 200 yards rushing for the second game in a row. Ajayi rushed for 214 yards in 29 carries after totaling 204 yards a week earlier in a win over Pittsburgh. He scored on a 4-yard run , and busted a 53-yarder when the Dolphins were pinned at their 3 and trailing in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins (3-4) used an extra lineman much of the time to clear big holes for Ajayi, who tied the NFL record for consecutive 200-yard games held by O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.

Miami overcame an 11-point deficit with 16 minutes left to end a four-game winning streak by the Bills (4-3) and beat them for only the second time in their past seven meetings.

Buffalo RB LeSean McCoy, ranked second in the NFL in rushing, started, but totaled only 11 yards in eight carries before departing with a hamstring problem.

Making his third career start, Jones threw for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception. But undermanned Pittsburgh (4-3) lost its second straight when its defense failed to keep Brady under wraps.

New England (6-1) remained perfect since Brady returned from his four-game “Deflategate” suspension, emphatically responding to a push by the Steelers with a pair of second-half touchdowns.

Brady improved to 9-2 against the Steelers, throwing for 26 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Raiders 33, Jaguars 16 Jacksonville, Fla. — Latavius Murray scored twice in his return from turf toe, and Oakland gave coach Jack Del Rio a victory against his former team.

Murray, who missed the past two games, finished with 59 yards on 18 carries. Michael Crabtree caught eight passes for 96 yards and a touchdown from Derek Carr, Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals, and the Raiders played the kind of defense they’ve been looking for all season.

The result was the team’s most complete win of the season. Oakland improved to 4-0 on the road and moved to 5-2 for the first time since 2001.

The Jaguars (2-4), meanwhile, dropped a third straight at EverBank Field and added more speculation about the future of coach Gus Bradley. Jacksonville fell to 14-40 during Bradley’s four seasons, and the latest loss was filled with poor execution on both sides of the ball and a lack of discipline down the stretch.

Lions 20, Redskins 17 Detroit — Matthew Stafford threw a goahead, 18-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin with 16 seconds left.

The Lions (4-3) extended their winning streak to three games. The Redskins (4-3) had won four straight.

Stafford, who set up game-winning kicks in the previous two games, led his team to another win in the 100th game of his career. He was 18 of 29 for 266 yards, one TD and no turnovers.

Kirk Cousins scored a go-ahead TD on a 19-yard run with 1:05 left.

The Redskins, though,

failed to stop Stafford from throwing or running on his last possession and could not overcome mistakes that included turnovers, a missed field goal and penalties.

Giants 17, Rams 10 London — New York capitalized on four interceptions of Case Keenum in the first NFL game played at London’s home of English rugby, a soldout and raucous Twickenham Stadium.

Keenum, coming off the best start of his career, had the Rams at the Giants’ 15-yard line with 50 seconds left when he lobbed a pass in the left corner of the end zone that Dominique RodgersCromartie easily picked off. Keenum’s intended target, Brian Quick, failed to get the quarterback’s audible and cut off his route early.

Bengals 31, Browns 17 Cincinnati — A.J. Green’s one-handed catch in the middle of an end zone scrum highlighted Cincinnati’s day full of big plays.

Green’s 48-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half helped the Bengals (3-4) regain their footing in the injury-depleted AFC North. The defending division champions piled up their most points since they beat the Browns 37-3 last December. Jeremy Hill had a 74-yard touchdown run as part of his 168-yard effort, the best by a Bengals running back in seven years.

The Browns (0-7) extended their worst start since 1999, when they were a first-year expansion team. The NFL’s only winless team also lost yet another quarterback — the theme of their season. Cody Kessler got hit hard while throwing a shovel pass in the second quarter, then went to the locker for a concussion evaluation and was ruled out. That left the offense in the hands of undrafted rookie Kevin Hogan, the Browns’ sixth quarterback of the season.

Seahawks 6, Cardinals 6, tie Glendale, Ariz. — Seattle’s Stephen Hauschka and Arizona’s Chandler Catanzaro missed short field goals that would have won the game in overtime and teams settled for a tie.

Hauschka’s 27-yard field goal was wide left with seven seconds left after Catanzaro’s 24-yarder bounced off the left upright.

The last tie in the NFL came in 2014, when Carolina and Cincinnati tied 37-37.

The Cardinals (3-3-1) dominated the game statistically and looked to be in shape to win it after Carson Palmer’s 40-yard pass to J.J. Nelson set up Catanzaro’s short kick.

Office-Clerical FIELD INTERVIEWER Westat is currently seeking motivated and detail-oriented individuals to collect data for the National Food Study-Pilot (NFS). The NFS will identify an alternative data collection method (ADCM) that collects more accurate data on the prices and quantities of all food items acquired from all members of sampled households over a 7-day period. The main objective of the pilot test is to develop and test an alternative method for collecting improved data on the foods acquired by American households, such as food item descriptions, quantities and prices, where the food is acquired, and the form(s) of tender used.

The primary role of the NFS field interviewers will be to locate, obtain cooperation from, and screen and interview selected respondents in their homes, as well as train respondents how to use smartphones, tablets or laptops, and Wi-Fi devices to collect data.

To apply, go to www.westat.com/fieldjobs and enter 11339BR in the space provided.
