Wichita — Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson outlined what he’s calling a new “vision” for Kansas schools that puts more emphasis on individualized learning, career planning and development of both academic and nonacademic personal skills.

“We’re going to design a system for your kids,” Watson told more than 1,000 educators at the Kansas State Department of Education’s annual conference in Wichita.

DEATHS

Schools

Kansas went from having only 40 percent to 90 percent of its students scoring proficient or better in reading and math.

But during that period, there was almost no change in the percentage of high school graduates enrolling in post-secondary education or the percentage of students needing to take remedial courses to succeed in college.

“Under No Child Left Behind, we did what we were told to do, and we did it really, really well in that era,” he said. “It didn’t lead to more kids being successful after they left us.”

The new vision — which he summed up with the statement “Kansas leads the world in the success of every student” — will serve as the starting point in crafting a new accreditation and accountability system for Kansas schools.

The new vision was an outgrowth of a monthslong listening tour that Watson and other department officials conducted throughout the state earlier this year in which community members and business leaders were asked what they expect from their public schools.

Among the things they heard, Watson said, was that students coming out of high school should have both academic and nonacademic personal skills, such as work ethic, conscientiousness, communication skills and the ability to work in teams.

Although details of how the new vision will translate into actual, day-to-day management of schools remain to be seen, Watson said they will involve adopting new strategies for improving student success.

That will involve such things as engaging more with students’ families, getting more community and business involvement in their programs, developing individualized education plans for more students based on their career goals and utilizing more project-based learning strategies.

Watson said schools also need to focus on moving more students into some kind of post-secondary education, whether that involves working toward a four-year bachelor’s degree, a two-year associate degree or a technical certificate.

“Seventy-one percent of the jobs, when this year’s eighth-grade class graduates, will need something beyond a high school education to obtain them,” he said. “That is so different than a generation ago. ... And we’re nowhere close to providing that today.”

Lawrence school board president Vanessa Sanburn, however, said she thinks Lawrence schools are close to providing that today and she doesn’t think the new vision represents a significant change from what local schools are already doing.

“A lot of things Lawrence is already doing meets these goals,” she said.

She pointed to the district’s new College and Career Center as an example of how the district is focusing more on individualized learning plans for students who won’t necessarily go on to a four-year college.

“A lot of the things they’re focusing on we’re doing here,” she said.

Watson, who took over as education commissioner in July, has said he wants to transform public schools in Kansas to make them more responsive to the expectations of their communities and to the needs of Kansas employers.

Before he was hired as the state education commissioner, he served as superintendent in McPherson, one of the first two school districts to receive a waiver from most state laws and regulations governing schools under the state’s new “innovative school districts” program.

“Long after October 2015 and the annual conference is over, it’s probably correct that few of us will remember who individually was seated in this audience,” he said. “But maybe, if we talk about the things we want for Kansas, collectively we can change the next generation.”

The agency’s new vision comes at a time when the State Board of Education is trying to develop a new system for accrediting school districts and holding them accountable for improving student outcomes, and as the Kansas Legislature is about to craft a new funding formula for financing public schools.

It also comes at a time when, at the national level, Congress is about to rewrite the No Child Left Behind law that has dominated the public schools throughout the United States since 2001 with its focus on standardized reading and math tests.

Watson pointed out that from 2007 to 2011

As for the food, I’m guessing it will have a similar menu to the Westport location, which includes everything from tacos to Mexican sandwiches, to specialty soups, to more elaborate dishes that are prepared in a wood-burning oven.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Chief Mark Bradford is allowing his staff to wear Royals baseball caps instead of their typical department-issued hats throughout the remainder of the series.

“We look forward to cheering on the ALCS winners in the World Series,” Bradford said in a news release. “As with the rest of the Kansas City metro region, it is exciting to watch the Royals in the postseason and our department is excited to cheer them throughout the month of October.”

The move comes a week after LDCFM sent firefighters to help the Kansas City Fire Department as their department mourned the loss of two KCFD firefighters in a fatal apartment fire Oct. 12.

Sheriff’s Office seeks help for mentally ill Kansas voting rights

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is asking county commissioners to commit to reducing the number of seriously mentally ill people in jail.

Mike Brouwer, reentry director for the sheriff’s office, said the commitment request, which will be presented to commissioners during their weekly meeting this afternoon, is a part of the national Stepping Up Initiative and coincides with recent developments on a potential jail expansion and mental health crisis intervention center proj-

Drake CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Typically, when a warrant is signed, law enforcement does not disclose that information.

However, Herrig said the department is sharing the information because Drake “has made threats of violence” and is considered armed and dangerous, and because a child is involved.

This is not the first time Drake has been accused of illegally taking one of his sons. In 2010, Steven Drake hid his then 13-year-

ects within the county.

In September the sheriff’s office was awarded a nearly $200,000 grant that will help the organization to hire two AssessIdentify-Divert (AID) case managers, Brouwer said. The case managers will assess an estimated 50 potential inmates each month and divert an estimated 25 to treatment alternatives to jail, he said.

The sheriff’s office will also present more details about that grant to commissioners today, Brouwer said.

Money from the grant, which was awarded through the Bureau of Justice Assistance, won’t

come through until January, Brouwer said. Until then, he, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Kansas University employees will work to create job descriptions and write policies for the two soon-tobe-open positions.

Also on today’s agenda, commissioners will: l Discuss an engineering services agreement for the 2016 inspection of county bridges. l Discuss treating Lone Star Lake with low doses of herbicide to eradicate an invasive plant species. l Discuss waiving a formal bidding process, authorizing staff to con-

tract an annual maintenance agreement with Motorola Solutions Inc., for current radio systems. l Consider contract recommendations for HVAC upgrades at Youth Services.

County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. every Wednesday in the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public. A full agenda and more information is available online at douglascountyks.org.

old son, Stevie Drake, from Stevie’s mother for more than a week.

Drake was charged with felony aggravated interference with parental custody by concealing a child.

However, Drake pleaded no contest to the lesser charge of misdemeanor interference with parental custody as part of a plea deal with prosecutors, according to Douglas County District Court records.

Drake has a criminal history in Douglas and Jefferson counties stemming back to 2007 including domestic battery, harassment, reckless driving, assault, forgery and several

convictions for theft and attempting to elude police.

Drake is due in Douglas County District Court Nov. 9 for a jury trial on charges of battery of a law enforcement officer, fleeing or attempting to elude police custody, interference with law enforcement, battery, two counts criminal damage to property and reckless driving. Drake is accused in that case of leading a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper in a pursuit through Lawrence in August 2014.

Andrew is white with brown hair and brown eyes. He weighs approxi-

mately 110 pounds and is 4-foot-9.

Drake is described as white with brown hair and blue eyes. He is 5-foot-10 and weighs about 170 pounds.

Herrig said Drake sightings have been reported in Kansas, and that the search is “focusing on the Lawrence and Eudora area.”

To report a sighting of Drake or Andrew or to provide any information, call 911 or 331-9870 to make an anonymous report.

Athletic director Ross Bjork, who has said the flag makes recruiting more difficult, was among those who met with Stocks.

“I’m just proud our university can take a stand like this. It’s the right thing to do. It helps move us forward,” Bjork said.

Football coach Hugh Freeze said removing the flag “is the right thing for this university, and hopefully our state also will follow suit.”

“I think it represents adequately our core values of what we want to be,” he said.

hearing set for January

Topeka — An advisory committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will hold a hearing Jan. 28 in Topeka to discuss voting rights in Kansas.

The committee met for about an hour by teleconference Tuesday to select the date and location. The venue for the meeting has not been determined.

The group is gathering information about how the Kansas Secure and Fair Elections (or SAFE) Act is affecting voter participation in the state. That law, passed in 2011 at the request of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, requires new voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register and for all voters to show photo ID at the polls to cast a ballot.

The citizenship requirement has been the focus of particular attention because, as of

the water, associate parking director Danny Kaiser said.

The City of Lawrence prohibits putting cleaning runoff into the storm sewer, where the garage drains, Kaiser said.

Besides the pigeon poop, other substances that dirty the garage — such as oil, sand, silt and winter road salt — “are very polluting,” Kaiser said. “We want to capture that.”

The new system is to be operating by the end of the semester, KU hopes.

Kaiser said it would include a power-washer with a water tank, equipment to redirect water runoff from the storm sewer into a holding tank, and equipment to filter sediments

September, more than 30,000 would-be voters had registrations placed “in suspense” because they had not provided the required documents.

A new regulation Kobach enacted last month requires county election officers to begin canceling those applications to register if they are not completed after 90 days.

The hearing will consist of at least three panel discussions. One will include public officials responsible for administering election laws. Another will include academics who have studied voting laws and the Kansas SAFE Act in particular. A third will include community groups and voting rights advocates.

The committee is scheduled to meet again Nov. 19 to select a venue for the hearing and finalize other details.

out of the water.

In an attempt to make the garage less attractive to pigeons, KU Parking Director Donna Hultine said they have installed devices to prevent them from perching on ledges. They have not been completely dissuaded, however.

“Now I notice pigeons sitting on the cars,” she said.

Until the system comes, Samuelson wondered whether someone could tackle the worst spots with a mop and bucket.

“We can make an effort to get something done in there,” Hultine said.

About 20 people attended the annual fall parking open forum, held in the Kansas Union, and voiced various questions and frustrations. Hultine described it as an opportunity for KU Parking to hear those concerns as well as ideas for solutions.

Asked at Dillons “Our plan will allow on Massachusetts Street Alvamar to continue as See story, 1C a viable operation,” Werner said. “What we’re looking at are our ideas, and concepts and plans… that we see breathing a little new life.”

Besides the overall plan, commissioners also unanimously approved a special-use permit to allow for the construction of the recreation area, as well as the rezoning of approximately 51 acres from single-dwelling residential to multi-dwelling residential.

Daniel Skinner, Next, developers will student, work on a final, more deLawrence tailed plan.

It’s also required that developers show the Nikki Talmage, commission the phases of works in orthodontics, construction.

Lawrence Usually, unless the plan “We wear Royals shirts at is significantly changed, work and ask the kids if it can be approved adthey want Royals-colored ministratively. ties on their braces.”

“Because this was such a public process and there’s so much engagement from the neighborhood, rather than a final development plan being approved administratively, the recommendation was to take that final development plan back to the planning commission,” Day said.

Paul Davis, with law firm Fagan Emert & DaEric Stucky, vis, spoke on behalf of dishwasher, two neighborhoods in the Lawrence area: Woodfield Mead“I promise to watch every ows West and Woodfield stinking pitch, and I might Meadows Condominieven wear my Royals hat to ums. the KU game on Saturday.”

Davis said the neighborhoods had concerns

with construction traffic using Crossgate Drive off Bob Billings Parkway.

Another Alvamar resident, Douglas Lawrence, cited the same concern.

“Our little Crossgate is a small street,” Lawrence said. “Any kind of construction equipment is going to create a huge bottleneck.”

Werner said that section of Crossgate Drive would not be used for construction traffic.

The development plan calls for the construction of a new public street off Bob Billings Parkway — west of Crossgate Drive — and the public street extension of Crossgate Drive.

Mayor Mike Amyx asked that the new street be constructed before any other development begins so it can be used by contractors to access the site.

Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services, said that requirement would be brought to the planning commission when it considers the final plan.

There was also talk Tuesday of putting a gate at the entrance to the private section of Crossgate Drive off Bob Billings Parkway once construction is complete, with the ability for emergency personnel to access it.

Developers are working with Davis and others in the neighborhood to come to an agreement, McCullough said.

Developers are also looking to put turn lanes on Bob Billings Parkway.

McCullough said that any infrastructure improvements that are made for the project will be paid for by the developer, not the city.

The plan also includes some commercial development, including a 24-room hotel in the banquet facility. The preliminary plan states the hotel can be used at any time and not limited to special events.

An earlier proposal included turning about 17 acres south of the new clubhouse into an assisted- and independent-living area comprising 124 units. That development was removed from the application.

Any future development plans for the site would be required to go through a public process and City Commission approval.

Bob Johnson, chairman of the board of directors of Alvamar Inc., told commissioners Tuesday the Alvamar redevelopment “is the best thing that can possibly happen to the Alvamar entity and to the Alvamar shareholders.”

“If you live on Alvamar, in the Alvamar district, and value that resource in our community, this is without a doubt the best thing that can happen,” Johnson said.

KU and city transportation leaders are considering the parking lot across the street from Allen Fieldhouse for a parking deck, with the transit center on the bottom floor.

The city will coordinate with KU to make improvements to the street. Proposed improvements include a center turn lane, bike lanes and sidewalks. l Received an update on potential changes to the city’s franchise agreement with Black Hills Energy.

Show turns Edgar Allan Poe’s life, works into a rock opera

O

nce every year for seven decades, a shadowy figure dressed in black paid tribute to Edgar Allan Poe by visiting the author’s grave in Baltimore.

This mysterious ritual — which involved a toast of cognac and a gift of three roses left at Poe’s grave — occurred in the wee hours of the morning every Jan. 17 from 1949 until the day of Poe’s bicentennial in 2009.

The “Poe Toaster,” as he (or possibly she, I guess?) is affectionately known, could still be out there, for all we know.

In fact, Ric Averill even contemplated inviting the unnamed Poe fanatic to his newest production at the Lawrence Arts Center, though even the longtime artistic director of performing arts admits the plan may be a long shot.

That’s too bad, because Averill’s original creation, “Midnight Visit to the Grave of Poe: A Grotesque Arabesque” is, as you might’ve guessed from the title, inspired by the Poe Toaster’s ritual.

Averill describes “Midnight Visit,” which opened last week at the Lawrence Arts Center and resumes with shows Thursday, Friday and Saturday, as a “total operaesque experience of the life and works” of Edgar Allan Poe. Nearly 15 years in the making, the show combines “musical theater, modern dance, opera, rock sensibilities and spectacular digital imagery” in what Averill calls a “very Freudian psychological exploration” of a deeply troubled — yet brilliant — man.

(Oh, you mean Poe

had issues beyond the fact that he married his 13-year-old cousin?)

“The idea I had as an artist was to see if the Poe Toaster came to the grave one night and instead of just laying down the roses, he actually encounters the ghost of Poe,” says Averill, who wrote the script and the music (it’s got an “earthy, contemporary sound” that mixes traditional rock instrumentation with a Steinway piano, synthesizer and cello) for the show.

“Midnight Visit” is

IF YOU GO “Midnight Visit to the Grave of Poe: A Grotesque Arabesque” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, aka Halloween (when guests are invited to wear their “best gothic Halloween costumes”), at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Tickets range from $10 to $25 and can be purchased at the box office, 940 New Hampshire St., or online at lawrenceartscenter.org. told in six movements, five of which are based on famous works by Poe: “Morella,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” “Eleonora” and “Annabel Lee.” Running through each is “this sense of loss and grief” triggered by the

death of Poe’s mother, whom he lost at the age of 3 to tuberculosis.

Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe (she and Edgar’s father, David Poe, were both actors) died young, at 23. So too did Poe’s cousinwife Virginia Clemm, who also succumbed to tuberculosis at 24.

Both women — or some fictionalized, abstract versions of them — appear as ghosts in “Midnight Visit” accompanied by modern dancers and Averill’s fivepiece rock/classical band.

“There’s this theme of this beautiful mother that echoes through Poe’s work,” Averill says.

“It’s this tragic theme of using the young woman who comes back from death to haunt (the protagonist) and to say, ‘You should be loyal to me and never love another.’”

By the end of the musical, the midnight visitor leaves Poe’s grave with a greater

understanding of the man and his stories.

The show moves fast, Averill says, and with the constantly-moving backdrop of creepy digital images created by artists Clare Doveton and Jessica Kolokol, “there’s always something going on” As for the mysterious circumstances surrounding Poe’s death, no one knows for certain. The author’s alcoholism and opium addiction probably took a toll, Averill guesses, but he can’t be sure.

Averill says he’d love to see “Midnight Poe” enjoy a long life onstage.

Right now, he’s thinking of following up on a couple of connections he’s fostered in Kansas City and Chicago.

“He was his own worst enemy,” Averill says of Poe, but, “What always fascinated me about Poe is just the beauty that can come out of that pain and that agony. It’s just astounding.”

For younger folks “Midnight Visit,” per Averill’s description, is geared more toward adults and “sophisticated teens” than kiddos.

The Lawrence Arts Center’s other spooky yet family-friendly production, “The Boy Who Left Home to Find out About the Shivers,” also runs at 7 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. on Halloween. Tickets range from $8 to $12.

Voter education A short course that outlines Kansas voter registration requirements should be taught at high schools and colleges throughout the state.

A

new effort to make sure young people know everything they need to know to register to vote in Kansas is a great first step that should be embraced and expanded throughout the state.

The League of Women Voters of Kansas and professors at three state universities have put together a short course to train students to register in Kansas.

The course, which can be taught in a single day or stretched over a week, will be piloted this fall at Washburn, Emporia State and Fort Hays State universities. League officials say they hope many other universities and high schools across the state will include the course as part of their curriculum next year in preparation for the November 2016 election.

The voter registration information should be required in high schools across the state. Many high school students will turn 18 and be qualified to vote before they graduate. Walking them through the process of satisfying the state’s requirements to present a birth certificate, passport or other proof of citizenship can help them get registered and perhaps start a lifelong voting habit. Teaching the same information at community colleges and public and private universities in the state, will facilitate voting for students from Kansas as well as students who come from other states that probably have less stringent registration requirements. Organizers also hope those who take the course will help get their friends registered.

Development of the course was spurred in part by the large number of young people who are showing up on the Kansas Secretary of State’s list of “in suspense” voter registrations, most of which are being held up because they don’t include proof of citizenship. According to a new policy instituted by the secretary of state, those registrations now will be thrown out if they haven’t been completed within 90 days.

An analysis conducted by a Wichita newspaper found that 40 percent of those on the “in suspense” list were under the age of 30. According to Michael Smith, a political science professor at Emporia State, research also shows that the highest concentration of people with “in suspense” registrations are found in inner-city neighborhoods and college towns and that large numbers live on or near the campuses of Kansas and Kansas State universities.

Leaders with League of Women Voters in Kansas say they still hope the state will move to less restrictive registration policies, but, in the meantime, they will continue their mission to register voters under the existing state law.

The new voter education course is a great effort that deserves support and participation from high schools and colleges across the state.

Florida bill sanctions discrimination So maybe experience is not all it’s cracked up to be.

I mean, if experience were really the teacher the axiom claims, the state of Florida would not be threatening to lumber down the same thorny path from which Indiana and Arkansas so recently retreated in humiliation. Both those states, you will recall, attempted to impose so-called “religious freedom” laws earlier this year that would have allowed businesses to refuse services to gay men and lesbians.

These attempts to dust off Jim Crow were beaten back when businesses condemned the laws and conventions started looking for new places to convene. But apparently, Florida was not paying attention. Or at least, state Rep. Julio Gonzalez wasn’t.

Last week, Gonzalez filed a so-called religious freedom protection bill that would allow any health care provider to refuse services, except in emergency cases, to any person who violated the provider’s moral or religious conscience. The bill doesn’t mention sexual orientation but is clearly aimed at gay people. On the other hand, given how broadly one may define moral or religious conscience, it would

“

You know what affronts my moral conscience? This habit of using God as a cudgel against his most vulnerable people.” also include women seeking contraception.

And there’s more. The bill empowers adoption agencies to refuse to place children in homes contrary to the agency’s religious convictions. Again, given how broadly that term may be defined, that could include the home of two lesbians, but it might also include a Muslim home, an atheist home or even a home whose definition of Christianity does not jibe with the agency’s. Finally, the bill also allows individuals and small companies to refuse service on the same grounds.

“This is not about discriminating,” Gonzalez told the Herald-Tribune newspaper in Sarasota. But it is about exactly that.

Given what happened in Arkansas and Indiana and that Florida is a touristdependent state, it is hard to imagine this bill ever becoming law. But its very existence suggests the lengths to which the forces of recalcitrance and resistance are willing to go to carve out some kind of official exemption for their bigotry.

They always define that exemption as an article of faith, as if ostracism were some core tenet of the gospel of Christ. But it isn’t.

Indeed, Jesus was famously inclusive, openly consorting with prostitutes, paralytics, lepers, tax collectors, women and other second-class citizens of the 1st century.

Moreover, it is telling how narrowly some of us define that which offends religious conscience. Consider: We live in a country that throws away 70 billion pounds of food a year, while 14 percent of us don’t know where our next meal is coming from. The Washington Post recently reported that toddlers with guns kill or injure themselves or others roughly once a week on av-

erage. Yet if things like that trouble anyone’s religious sensibilities, their cries have yet to reach my ears.

But let someone order a cake with two men on top and suddenly the moral klaxons are blaring.

You know what affronts my moral conscience? This habit of using God as a cudgel against his most vulnerable people. You have to wonder how many of those who could use the solace faith brings have instead been driven away from faith, made irredeemably hostile toward it, by small-minded people who exclude them in the name of God. I remember chatting once with some gay men who seemed attracted to the promise of faith, but were repelled by the expression of it they had seen in churches, where they were regarded as outcasts and rejects. Sadly, I was never able to convince them that that humiliating treatment was not the sum and totality of faith. Now, here comes Julio Gonzalez, eager to give that kind of mistreatment the imprimatur of law.

He sees it as a matter of conscience. Really, it’s about the massive failure thereof.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 28, 1915: “Footyears ball enthusiasm, ago bursting from the IN 1915 control of the University men whom it animates, had brought down upon the students the disapproval of the authorities charged with maintaining the law in Lawrence. City officials and Chancellor Strong of the University united today in condemning destruction of property which has attended football demonstrations for the past two nights.

Tuesday night a small outbuilding was taken from property on Vermont street and used to make a bonfire in the street.”

Propylon CEO addresses Nothing new Narrow view state software concerns

To the editor: The Sunday editorial regarding Secretary Clinton’s testimony at the Benghazi Committee hearing last week ignored a number of facts in an ongoing effort to prolong the smear campaign against her. As pointed out by the Democrats on the committee, key persons responsible for security were not even called to testify. And many of the Republican questions were about her friend Sidney Blumenthal, who was not involved in any way with the security in Benghazi.

The Democrats asked for the transcript of Blumenthal’s previous interview with the committee to be released, but the Republicans denied the request. It was later revealed

by Rep. Schiff (Blumenthal by the numbers) that most of the questions were not about Benghazi, but things that had nothing to do with it.

The only focus was on trying to find something for which they could blame Hillary; they failed miserably, as has been widely recognized. Even Rep. McCarthy, Republican majority leader, had previously admitted as much. And after the meeting, Chairman Gowdy admitted that nothing new had been learned.

Hillary was the clear winner of this long running political debate, which was paid for by the taxpayers, to the tune of $5 million.

Ben Cobb, Lawrence

To the editor: The well-deserved kudos for KU’s School of Pharmacy in the Saturday Column (Oct. 24) are greatly appreciated; the aspersions cast on other programs and search committees therein are not.

With the suggestion that university appointments are filled based on convenience, cost or political correctness, rather than “seeking the very best individuals,” Mr. Simons unjustifiably impugns every administrator from the chancellor (yet again!) on down and the committees that selected them. In the next paragraph he implies that the rest of the university are not doing their very best to “hire outstanding faculty and attract top graduate students.” The next paragraph laments that “the university doesn’t seem to capitalize on the talents” of the Foundation Distinguished Professors. The first FDPs arrived at KU only last fall and have apparently failed to provide instant gratification.

With friends like this, who needs enemies!

By John Harrington CEO, Propylon

Ensuring that Kansas taxpayers and the hard-earned tax dollars they produce are carefully and wisely utilized is a bedrock objective in providing state services.

Whether it’s a program administrator or a private company assisting the state, we all must be prudent managers of public resources That’s why it’s so important that Kansas taxpayers understand more of what’s been involved in the efforts to address implementation issues surrounding the Kansas Legislature’s computer system. Unfortunately, some facts about this have been incorrectly reported.

Propylon (which has offices in Lawrence) has the highest regard for the outstanding work done by the talented, hard-working staff of the Kansas Legislature.

They’re often asked to do the nearly impossible and have it done yesterday. Unfortunately, though, that pace can lead to developing “work arounds.” Then, when those “work arounds” become embedded in the system, technical problems will inevitably result.

But those problems can only be resolved when they’re specifically identified and protocols followed for resolution. Unfortunately, that

never happened. In July, upon learning of legislative frustrations, we set out to find out what the issues were in an effort to resolve them. Yet this effort was met with further delays such that one member of the legislative leadership asked “why was the matter being slow walked”?

Currently, Propylon is working in partnership with the state to identify the issues associated with the use of the state legislative software. This intense review should prove highly beneficial. Propylon is committed to do our part, be it technical IT changes, communications process changes or any other solution necessary.

We’re proud of the work we’ve done in Kansas and elsewhere. And we’re not alone. The Kansas project has been recognized at the national level for the goals of achieving transparency in the legislative process.

To say that the software is plagued by glitches is simply inaccurate. Thousands of Kansans, no doubt many of them your readers, have accessed information about the Kansas Legislature via the new system. Its capabilities are impressive and we won’t rest until all efforts are made to ensure that those capabilities are appropriately utilized and functioning as designed.

Walgreens said Tuesday that it will buy drug-store chain rival Rite Aid in a $17.2 billion deal that would whittle the nation’s one-time mom-and-pop drugstory industry into two massive competitors.

The deal would combine the second and third largest drugstore operators, and if it gets regulatory approval, intensify the already fierce competition between Walgreens and CVS Health.

The tectonic shift in the market comes as pharmacies are grappling with the rapidly changing health-care industry, seeking negotiating leverage against drug companies and increasingly offering clinical services.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, which operates the namesake drug store chain, said it is paying $9 per share in cash in a valuation that includes the assumption of debt. That reflects a 48% premium above Rite Aid’s value at the close of trading Monday.

Walgreens said Rite Aid would keep its name for now. The company expects to save more than $1 billion in “synergies,” which could come in the form of combined purchasing power and cost cuts.

CVS has 58% market share in the pharmacy and drug store business, Walgreens controls 31% and Rite Aid has 10%, research firm IBISWorld says. The industry has $263 billion in annual revenue and $10.3 billion in profit.

But pharmacies are fending off competition from mail-order prescription discounters, online pharmacies, wholesale retailers and health clinics, among others.

Walgreens executives will discuss the deal with investors when they reveal the company’s fourthquarter earnings Wednesday.

Johnny can’t always read, but slide in math scores puzzles Test results down for first time in 25 years Greg Toppo USA TODAY

For 25 years, through four presidential administrations, U.S. schools could rely on one small truth: Math scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP test, always went up. Not this year.

The latest results of the biennial tests, given to thousands of students and nicknamed “The Nation’s Report Card,” show a

first-ever drop in math scores for randomly selected students in the fourth and eighth grades who took them earlier this year.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan acknowledged that the news “isn’t great,” but said the dip “doesn’t come as a big surprise.”

Peggy Carr, the federal official who oversees the tests, cautioned against reading too much into the development, saying, “One downturn does not a trend make.”

The new scores, released Wednesday by the National Center for Education Statistics, show the average fourth- and eighthgrade math scores declined 2 and 3 points, respectively, from 2013

to 2015. The average eighth-grade reading score dropped 3 points.

Fourth-grade reading scores were essentially unchanged.

Since 1990, scores in math and reading have moved steadily, if

slowly, higher. Until this year, math scores had never dropped in either grade. The NAEP scale scores range from 0 to 500.

Carr said NAEP tests stand apart from the typical standardized tests. NAEP tests are taken by a small fraction of students and take only about an hour to complete. They can’t be prepped for and the scores, reported anon-

ymously, have no stakes attached.

Observers were quick to offer theories on the drop — from the recent recession to the rise of the new Common Core curriculum.

“When families are hurting financially, it’s harder for students to focus on learning,” said Michael Petrilli of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education think tank.

Chris Minnich, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers, suggested that curricula have changed for many schools nationwide. As states raise standards, he said, “it will take time for students and teachers to adjust.”

Carson WEEK 9 crowned USA TODAY GOP leader of POWER RANKINGS the pack Where they stand Our experts eye ‘the end of The Donald’ as field holds places

The rest of the Republican presidential hopefuls this week (last week)

Paul Singer USA TODAY

Ben Carson has overtaken Donald Trump for the first time in USA TODAY’s GOP Power Rankings, deemed the strongest candidate in the Republican field this week by our panel of political experts.

Carson’s rise in our rankings reflects recent Iowa polls showing him passing Trump in the critical first-in-the-nation Hawkeye State.

Carson’s surge over Trump in Iowa polling is “a huge shift and might mark the end of The Donald,” said HeadCount’s Aaron Ghitelman. But he sagely warns: “That being said, people in this poll have considered every flap of a bird’s wing in Iowa or New Hampshire to signify the end of Trump, and we’ve been wrong every time.”

Still, Ghitelman’s views are widely shared by our experts.

“Carson emerges as the candidate to beat in Iowa. If he wins there, he gets his ticket stamped for the final round,” said University of New Hampshire professor Dante Scala.

And he is clearly looking strong there. “Carson’s strong campaign team continued to pull in more support for him, especially in Iowa. Trump continues to have a love/hate relationship with people,” said Kansas activist Deb Lucia.

Meanwhile, “Gov. Bush recalibrates to save his campaign.”

Despite Jeb Bush’s troubles — he announced last week that he is downsizing his campaign staff to conserve funds — he did not drop in our rankings, in part because he remains bunched in a second tier where nobody has made a move up.

Our experts’ rankings show how volatile the GOP race still is.

Last week, Trump received 21 first-place votes and appeared to be in command of the race. This week, he received eight, his lowest total since we began the Power Rankings in early September.

Archaic system called ‘pathetic’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

the dealers shuttered their doors.

“In some of the boxes, we have found garbage and dirty laundry,” he said.

Ben Hayes, a former ATF official who for more than a decade oversaw parts of the tracing center’s operations, characterized the ever-mounting caches of paper and the archaic records system as something resembling the aftermath of a biblical flood.

“It’s really sad,” Hayes said.

“It’s pathetic.”

Although the paper records are eventually transformed into digital images, investigators’ use of the computerized system is strictly limited by federal law that prohibits the creation of a searchable database based on firearms’ purchasers.

Gun rights advocates said the system is merely a reflection of what the government requires defunct gun dealers to do.

“I agree that there is a substantial amount of paper to process, but they (dealers) are providing what is required by law,” said Larry Keane, general counsel for the firearm industry trade association National Shooting Sports Foundation. “There were a lot of mom-and-pops (dealers) out there that didn’t have computer records.”

On the prohibitions against creating a searchable repository of gun owners, National Rifle Association spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said federal authorities already have “the necessary tools to trace firearms used in the commission of crimes.”

“Eliminating search warrants would make it easier for law enforcement to prosecute criminals, but no one is suggesting that we violate the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens in the name of efficiency,” Baker said.

Until 2013, when the Senate confirmed B. Todd Jones as the agency’s director, the ATF had been without permanent leadership for seven years, in part due to opposition mounted by gun rights groups to previous nomi-

nee Andrew Traver. Earlier this year, Jones announced his resignation, leaving the job back in the hands of an “acting” director.

David Chipman, an ex-ATF agent, said much of the agency’s inefficiency is tied to the political sway of the gun rights groups who have sought to contain the authority of the ATF. “The gun lobby has been very successful at keeping the ATF as inefficient as possible,” Chipman said.

In most cases, gun traces begin with the submission of basic descriptions of guns recovered at crime scenes to tracing center examiners based in this scenic crease of the Shenandoah Valley, about two hours west of Washington. It identifies a chain of custody that generally runs from manufacturer to the point of sale, if the firearm is purchased at a federally licensed dealer.

For dealers still in business, examiners can then obtain the identity of the purchaser by contacting dealers and providing specific gun identifiers, including serial numbers. But tracing requests for purchases at defunct dealers requires a much more involved search. If the out-of-business dealer’s records have been converted to the ATF’s electronic database, examiners can attempt to locate purchasers by tabbing through digital folders organized by former dealer names and then sort through individual sales records to identify individual buyers.

But thousands of trace requests each year — as many as 18,000 last year, according to the ATF — require document examiners to hand-sort through unprocessed boxes of paper records or attempt to unlock passwordprotected hard-drives.

“We’re handcuffing law enforcement by not giving them the tools to do their jobs,” said Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

“This is a gigantic issue. It’s endemic to the problems law enforcement has to deal with in their enforcement of gun crimes.

The way we do this is so antiquated.”

Trump and Co. roll into Boulder Trevor Hughes @TrevorHughes USA TODAY

BOULDER , COLO. As a former resident and frequent visitor, it’s hard for me to imagine Donald Trump or any other conservative Republicans wandering the streets of this famously liberal city.

But with the GOP debate scheduled for Wednesday night on the University of Colorado campus here, Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina and the rest of the gang may soon tread the hippielined Pearl Street Mall, the pedestrian zone at Boulder’s heart.

Here, fire-breathing buskers and dreadlocked transients begging for change compete for attention with college students playing harps, saxophones and flutes.

This is a city known jokingly, sort of, as the People’s Republic of Boulder, where the county courthouse bears a plaque of a miner with a pickaxe and a farmer with a scythe — a plaque I just

realized has a remarkable resemblance to the old Soviet Union’s hammer-and-sickle flag.

Depending upon how they arrive for Wednesday’s debate on University Hill, the Republican candidates may pass by meditation centers, a Buddhist university and stores selling $350 ski jackets a few feet away from where the homeless seek cash to buy winter blankets.

They’ll hear diners extolling the city’s vegan restaurant offerings and might drink from a water fountain offering “Pure cold water from the Boulderowned Arapahoe Glacier” a few miles west on the Continental Divide.

Sadly, the Republican candidates will be leaving Boulder before one of the best events of the year: The Naked Pumpkin Run, where nude residents run (illegally) down the Pearl Street Mall wearing pumpkins on their heads.

Of course, Boulder being Boulder, residents are planning protests at the debate, and one of the local marijuana stores is offering tours to reporters and GOP candidates alike. (It’s hard to see New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie taking up that offer, or

The semi-retired Sharon Rouse, 71, is much more the kind of person you’ll find in Boulder.

She’ll talk about the importance of living in harmony with nature and the benefits of bike paths.

(Did I mention that in Boulder, you aren’t a dog owner, but instead a “dog guardian?”) She’s mystified as to why the Republican debate is being held in this

liberal Democratic stronghold.

“Maybe the yin and yang of it makes it more interesting,” she says. “We’re hoping a little bit of Boulder rubs off on them.”

Rouse is actually hoping a LOT of Boulder rubs off — she spent Sunday afternoon campaigning for Bernie Sanders.

Sanders is much more of the kind of candidate Boulderites can love.

Sanders is the guy who rails against big business and argues

government needs to play a more interventionist role in our lives. He wants to demilitarize the nation’s police forces, and Boulder residents once held a funeral for an elk killed by a police officer.

Democrats in general are incredibly popular here. So far in 2015, Boulderites have given $165,000 to Democratic presidential candidates, chief among them Hillary Clinton, while Republican candidates have lagged far behind. In contrast to the Democrats, Republicans have received only $31,000 from Boulderites, with Ben Carson being the favored candidate.

Standing on Pearl Street, Rouse and fellow campaigner Nancy Thompson, 74, a retired English professor, say they can’t understand how so many Americans could think Trump would make a good president. But true to Boulder’s nature, they both hope he and the other candidates can learn something from visiting what we sometimes call 25 square miles surrounded by reality.

“It’s going to be interesting to see if they’ll change their rhetoric,” Rouse says.

Is that likely?

Says Thompson, “Hell no!”

Jeh Johnson knows what happens when rhetoric goes too far

Immigration debate echoes troubling times decades earlier Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, decrying the tenor of the immigration debate today, offers a personal perspective on the costs and consequences of political rhetoric taken too far.

His grandfather, Charles Johnson, then president of Fisk University, was called before the WASHINGTON

infamous House Un-American Activities Committee in 1949 to be grilled on allegations that communists had infiltrated predominantly black colleges like his own. It is a story Johnson heard for the first time when he was preparing to deliver the Green Foundation Lecture at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., last month.

His grandfather was “asked to deny if he is or ever has been a member of the Communist Party,” Johnson told Capital Download on Tuesday. “He went on to give a very impassioned prepared statement about the loyalty of the American Negro ... and said that we are not disloyal, but we are expecting our country to live up to its promise and its values, which

is why we are bringing to light the injustices” — a defiant declaration in the days before the Civil Rights movement.

At the time, Johnson told a similar investigative committee in California that the inquiries were “much more un-American than the un-American activities being pursued.”

His family never told him the story while Jeh Johnson was growing up, and even now his father describes it as an agonizing episode. A good friend speculated at the time that the stress may have contributed to Charles Johnson’s unexpected death from a heart attack in 1956 at age 63.

His grandson, who bears “Charles” as his middle name, was born two years later.

Johnson, now 58, relates the story as he describes the debate over illegal immigration in the United States the toughest issue he faces, “laden with all sorts of misinformation and very often misinformation that is repeated and elaborated upon USA TODAY by those who Homeland Secushould know rity Secretary better.” ImmiJeh Johnson gration has become a heated issue in the 2016 presidential campaign, especially among Republicans. Donald Trump gets cheers at rallies when he promises to build a wall across

the Southern border to curtail illegal immigrants from Mexico.

“Those of us in public office and those of us who aspire to public office have a responsibility to be reasonable, fact-based, in our rhetoric and to not suggest things that are unreasonable, to whip up a lot of emotion in public, which can lead to government overreach, fear, suspicions and prejudice,” Johnson says, though he declined discuss any particular candidates. “So the immigration space is a difficult space in which to make policy.”

McCain criticizes anti-ISIL strategy

Itemizes how Obama is on the wrong track Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Sen. John McCain blasted President Obama and the Pentagon on Tuesday for lacking a coherent strategy in the Middle East to battle the Islamic State.

McCain aired a laundry list of what he called the administration’s failed efforts to confront the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, deriding the failed $500 million Pentagon plan to train and equip moderates to battle ISIL militants in Syria and allowing Russia to gain growing influence in the Middle East.

McCain spoke in dismissive terms of Obama as leader of the U.S. military.

“If there is an opposite for commander in chief, this is it,” McCain said in his opening statement at an Armed Services Committee, which he chairs. McCain of Arizona was the Republican nominee for president who lost the 2008 election to Obama.

The administration has deployed 3,500 GETTY IMAGES troops to Iraq to McCain says train and assist policy lets Russia get foothold. forces there and has conducted more than 7,000 airstrikes on ISIL targets in Iraq and Syria. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared before McCain’s committee.

Carter promised changes to the Pentagon’s war on ISIL, including the appointment of Army Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland to lead the effort. The strategy will focus on confronting ISIL in Raqqa, Syria, its de facto capital, retaking Ramadi from militants in western Iraq and raids such as the one that freed 70 hostages in Iraq last week.

McCain pressed Carter on whether he supports establishing a no-fly zone in Syria to keep the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad from attacking refugees and his opponents on the ground.

Carter hedged in his response, suggesting establishing one was possible but not likely. Creating one would require the military to deal with Syria’s air defenses.

Keeping the zone safe would also require ground forces.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and a candidate for president, pressed Dunford and Carter on the strategy to remove Assad.

They conceded that no credible force exists to defeat Assad.

The Taliban on Tuesday urged its fighters to aid earthquake victims and said it would not block governmental relief efforts in the battered region of northern Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The communique was issued as workers scrambled to deliver supplies to the isolated, mountainous area that was rocked by a magnitude-7.5 quake Monday.

The death toll rose to more than 370 on Tuesday, but authorities warned it could continue to climb as rescuers reach remote villages where communication lines were cut off by the quake.

The Islamic State executed three detainees in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra by strapping them to pillars and then blowing them up along with the antiquities, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

The report came just days after the observatory released footage

Saturday that appeared to show Islamic State militants executing a teenage Syrian soldier by running him over with a tank. Before

being executed, the soldier is shown “confessing” to having used a tank himself to run over bodies of Islamic State soldiers, the observatory said.

The Islamic State has consistently used the Internet and social media to publicize its brutality. Last year, the terror group released a series of videos showing the beheadings of Western aide workers. In January, it released a video showing a young boy executing prisoners the Islamic State called “spies.”

The Islamic State also has been unabashed in its destruction of antiquities at Palmyra, claiming the archaeological sites and statues promote idolatry.

The first-known settlement at Palmyra dates to the second millennium B.C.

IN BRIEF OBAMA: POLICE OFFICERS TOO OFTEN ‘SCAPEGOATED’

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

The Taliban has waged a series of bloody battles in recent months with troops supporting the Western-backed government in Kabul. As a result, earthquake relief efforts had been hamstrung by security concerns.

The Taliban indicated Tuesday it would not hinder emergency teams, Reuters reported.

“The Islamic Emirate calls on our good-willed countrymen and charitable organizations to not hold back in providing shelter, food and medical supplies to the victims,” the group said in a statement. “And it similarly orders its mujahedin in the affected areas to lend their complete help.”

The epicenter of the quake was on the Afghan side of the border, but Pakistan took the brunt of the destruction and deaths. Afghan

and Pakistani officials listed the preliminary death toll at 258 people in Pakistan and 115 in Afghanistan, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. More than 200 died in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone.

Thousands of people were injured and thousands of homes and buildings destroyed. The result: thousands left homeless ahead of a harsh winter common for the Hindu Kush mountain region from northern Pakistan into central Afghanistan.

Pakistan declined offers of relief assistance from the U.S., neighboring India and other nations. “We have enough resources to handle the situation,” Pakistan Information Minister Pervez Rashid said Tuesday in Islamabad.

When the quake hit, Arshad Khan, a teacher in Buner, fled her house with her 14-year-old son, who suffered a fractured leg and required stitches in his head.

“Pakhtunkhwa is in ruins literally — cut off from the road network,” said Khan, who was at Lady Reading Hospital in the provincial capital of Peshawar. “We are waiting to hear about our missing family and friends. We are losing hope.”

President Obama told a gathering of police chiefs in Chicago Tuesday that they can reduce violent crime while at the same time being more sensitive to minority communities.

“I reject any narrative that seeks to divide police and communities they serve,” Obama told the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

Obama called for a “serious and robust debate over fairness in law enforcement and our broader criminal justice system when it comes to communities of color.”

“Too often, law enforcement gets scapegoated for the broader failures of our society and criminal justice system. I know that you do your jobs with distinction no matter the challenges you face,” Obama said.

MONEYLINE GM TO RECALL 1.4 MILLION CARS OVER FIRE RISK General Motors will recall more than 1.41 million vehicles — ranging from 1997 to 2004 — to fix a defect that has caused about 1,200 engine fires and previously bedeviled the automaker. Drivers have reported at least 19 “minor injuries” in incidents. The new recall includes 1.28 million sedans and coupes in the U.S. The recall affects the 3.8-liter, six-cylinder, 3800-engine models of the 1997-04 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-04 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-99 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-99 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-04 Buick Regal.

WEAK DATA: ORDERS FOR DURABLE GOODS DROP 1.2% Orders for durable goods dropped 1.2% in September, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That follows a 3% drop in August, an even bigger downturn than first reported. Orders in a category that serves as a proxy for business investment fell 0.3% after a 1.6% drop in August. Durable goods orders have been down in four of the past six months, a sign of the problems facing manufacturers as they struggle with economic weakness in key export markets such as China. A stronger dollar has been a drag, making U.S. products less competitive overseas.

KOHL’S TO OPEN SMALL-FORMAT STORES Kohl’s plans to open five to 10 small-format stores in 2016, tracking a trend of big-box retailers trying to reconnect with customers who want a faster and more convenient shopping experience. The retailer, which did not reveal locations for the stores, also plans to open 10 to 15 stand-alone outlets dedicated to selling its FILA brand apparel.

Kohl’s is also planning to rely more heavily on data science to make pricing decisions and make a concerted effort to reach Millennials and Hispanics.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple reported another coveted quarter: a 31% spike in earnings and betterthan-expected revenue, initially sending company shares up 3% in after-hours trading Tuesday.

But the future may not be as bright. It cautioned its current quarter will generate $75.5 billion to $77.5 billion in revenue, short of the $77 billion analysts expect on average. That, in turn, sent shares down in extended trading.

Apple reported earnings of $11.1 billion, or $1.96 per share, on revenue of $51.5 billion for its fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 26. The results exceeded analysts’ earnings forecasts of $1.88 per share and revenue of $51.1 billion. It was the 12th consecutive quarter in which Apple beat estimates.

“Fiscal 2015 was Apple’s most successful year ever, with revenue growing 28% to nearly $234 billion,” Apple CEO Tim Cook AFP/GETTY IMAGES said in a statement. “We are Apple CEO heading into Tim Cook the holidays with our strongest product lineup yet.”

The holiday forecast, however, may unnerve investors who have expressed concern that stellar sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus last year set the financial bar too high for Apple to generate similar growth this year.

The narrative of any quarter for Apple starts and ends with iPhone sales. It accounts for nearly two-thirds of Apple’s revenue and an even larger portion of its profits. The company’s franchise product led the way. Apple sold 48.05 million units, including iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.

Analysts polled by Fortune forecast Apple to sell 48.72 million iPhones during the quarter, up 24% from a year earlier. “(Long-term expectations) is the big, black cloud around Apple,” says Daniel Ives, managing director for FBR Capital Markets.

“The street is laser-focused on guidance around the new iPhones for holiday season and into 2016.”

Shares of Apple are down 5% from three months ago, compared with a dip of 0.5% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Apple did not break out sales of Apple Watch, introduced in April.

But it said the category in which it is grouped grew to $3 billion.

Apple’s slice of the U.S. smartphone market will swell to 43.3% this year, according to eMarketer estimates. The Android market should be 51.7% this year.

Twitter tanks on static user growth, outlook Double whammy takes some luster off Dorsey’s CEO return Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

The honeymoon already is over for newly installed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

Twitter shares plunged 13% in after-hours trading as the troubled social media company continued to struggle to attract new users and disappointed investors SAN FRANCISCO

with a weak fourth-quarter forecast even with Twitter co-founder Dorsey now officially at the helm.

Twitter was hammered after it said it expects fourth-quarter revenue to range from $695 million to $700 million, far lower than estimates of $739.7 million.

Twitter also alarmed investors with yet another quarter of lackluster growth. The San Francisco company said it had 320 million monthly active users in the third quarter. Excluding “fast followers,” who are SMS users, Twitter had 307 million monthly active users. Both figures were below Wall Street consensus. Facebook

ERIC RISBERG, AP

In the fourth quarter, Twitter expects adjusted earnings in the $155M-$175M range.

has about five times as many users as Twitter.

“Twitter improved sequentially 1%, which is essentially no growth, although it’s better than losing users,” Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said.

“But the guidance clearly implies a slowing business and quite possibly a decline in users.”

The double whammy — the weak forecast and lackluster user growth — dampened the excitement surrounding Dorsey, whose return seemingly held the promise of at last unlocking Twitter’s vast but largely untapped potential. The third quarter, the three

months ended in September, unfolded on Dorsey’s watch. Dorsey was serving as interim CEO before Twitter appointed him CEO. The main challenges: Reignite user growth and pump up revenue at the social media service he created nine years ago.

Twitter did beat Wall Street estimates on revenue and earnings.

Third-quarter revenue jumped 58% to $569 million, showing Twitter’s advertising business continues on a strong beat. Analysts had expected sales of $559.4 million. But Twitter remains unprofitable. Including expenses, Twitter lost 20 cents a share.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

When the Federal Reserve breaks from its two-day meeting Wednesday afternoon, officials likely will tell investors that interest rates are staying near 0%.

All the attention then will shift to December, the Fed’s last meeting of 2015 and likely its final chance to hike rates for the first time since 2006.

The Fed’s post-meeting statement (and market reaction) will be all about December, says David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. “It is all about December rate-hike clues,” he says.

The Fed has a fine line to walk.

Its decision not to boost rates in September, and the mixed messages Fed members have sent out since last month’s meeting, fos-

tered confusion in markets.

Since the Fed’s last meeting, the September jobs report came in weak, inflation has remained tame and global markets have stabilized after the first 10% correction in four years. That could give the Fed cover to repeat that it needs to see “some further progress” on jobs and inflation before pulling the trigger on rate hikes, Kelly says.

Don’t expect the Fed to say anything that would definitively end the guessing game as to the rate lift-off date, says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. Confusion over the Fed’s next move is likely to continue.

The Fed is likely to stick to its “data-dependent” message but “any deviation from that would be a surprise” to markets, says Bill Hornbarger, chief investment strategist at Moneta Group.

Apple may be less exciting, but not less valuable Q: Is Apple a hot tech stock to buy?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Apple has been a red-hot tech stock. But now it’s a blue chip. Big difference.

The newer, less-exciting future of Apple’s stock became clear Tuesday after the company reported an adjusted quarterly profit of $1.96 a share, beating estimates by nearly 5%. Shares inched up about 1% in after-hours trading. Shares closed regular trading down 73 cents to $114.55.

Meanwhile, other tech companies pushing into a post-smartphone world driven by the cloud are getting more attention. Shares of Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet are up 32%, 98%, 15% and 38%, respectively, this year, and shares of Apple are up just 5%.

Apple has lots of cash and will continue to pay a dividend, currently yielding 1.8%.

But that’s kind of the point. Apple is morphing from a growth stock to a piggy bank. Seeing Apple become more staid is not necessarily a bad thing. Many steady and dependable blue-chip stocks deliver solid returns to investors over the longterm. But Apple’s sheer size and dependance on the now-mature smartphone market — at least in the developed world — shows it’s a different stock. Apple shares will behave differently than when the company was smaller and had something to prove.

No Fed rate hike expected, but December remains on table Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

With job growth slowing substantially in recent months, there’s virtually no chance the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade at a two-day meeting that ends Wednesday, economists say.

More drama surrounds this question: Can the Fed use its post-meeting statement to convince skeptical financial markets that a December rate hike is at least on the table?

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s goal will be neither to signal a December rate hike nor to take it off the table.

The Fed held off on a rate increase last month, citing global economic troubles, financial market volatility and stubbornly low

inflation. Yet 13 of 17 Fed policymakers still projected the central bank will raise its benchmark rate this year.

Since then, however, the Labor Department announced the second consecutive month of disappointing payroll gains in September and revised down its already modest total for August.

Measures of consumer spending and factory activity have slumped. The government is expected to report this week that the economy grew less than 2% in the third quarter. And several Fed policymakers, including board members Daniel Tarullo and Lael

Brainard, have indicated they’re leaning against a rate increase this year.

Markets are pricing in just a 33% chance that the Fed will act in December, based on fed fund futures contracts.

Yet economist Michael Feroli of JPMorgan Chase notes that U.S. stocks have rebounded and global economic news has improved recently. Although China’s economy is slowing, the country’s third-quarter growth beat estimates. Fed Chair Janet Yellen and New York Fed chief William Dudley are among key Fed policymakers who in recent weeks said

they still expected to lift rates in 2015, depending on the strength of economic reports.

As a result, Feroli says, Yellen’s goal this week will be neither to signal a December rate hike nor to take it off the table. After all, the Fed historically has been reluctant to raise rates if the move would blindside markets.

“We think the leadership will view the statement as a success if, subsequent to the meeting, strong data gets the market to price in December, and weak data leads the market to continue to price liftoff sometime next year,” Feroli wrote to clients.

BULLOCK, THORNTON REVEAL THE REAL ‘CRISIS’

Billy Bob Thornton and Sandra Bullock star as political enemies in Our Brand Is Crisis.

TOMMASO BODDI, WIREIMAGE

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY ELIZABETH BANKS Universal Pictures has announced that Banks will return to the ‘Pitch Perfect’ franchise to direct the third film.

Banks made her directorial debut with this summer’s hit ‘Pitch VINCENT SANDOVAL, Perfect 2.’ Anna FILMMAGIC Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and Banks will reprise their roles in ‘Pitch Perfect 3,’ set for release Aug. 4, 2017.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Making a satire gets to the meat of the state of comedy films Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

It doesn’t take much to sway Sandra Bullock.

Just send over a fragrant platter of bacon.

“Is this bothering you?” she asks, plucking a piece of maplecured pork from a heap that arrives mid-interview. She takes a bite, teasing her vegan co-star Billy Bob Thornton. “Mmm,” she adds emphatically.

Thornton grins from the opposite end of a loveseat. Sparring with Sandy, as he calls her, was a highlight of shooting the comedy Our Brand Is Crisis (in theaters Friday), which finds the duo playLOS ANGELES

ing dueling, morally bankrupt political operatives.

“We can’t stand each other,” cracks Bullock.

Bullock plays “Calamity” Jane Bodine, a seasoned fixer hiding out in the Rockies after a humiliating loss in the last election cycle. Jane is enticed back into the game when she hears that her nemesis, Pat Candy (Thornton), has the back of a leading Bolivian presidential candidate.

And Jane can’t help it — the money was good.

“I made a money decision once, and it was the biggest mistake I ever made,” says Bullock, swearing that success basically happened to her. “I’ve never been good with money.”

With the Republican and Democratic debates gaining ratings by the week, the time is ripe for political satire, but both actors say they made Crisis in a bubble last fall, save for the ruckus about

Chris Christie and Bridgegate. “There was never any mention, ‘Hey, what a perfect time to do this’ ” with the election looming, Thornton says.

Six months after shooting the Oscar-laden space epic Gravity, Bullock read the Crisis script and dialed up her other go-to sparring partner, George Clooney, a man who will “spend years of his life committing to revenge,” she says. The lead role in Crisis was actually written for a man, and Bullock asked Clooney, who was producing the film with Grant Heslov, if the gender might be changed.

It’s a move that has made headlines in recent weeks but a question Bullock started asking years ago while searching for comedies that weren’t rom-coms. “It’s like, ‘Why is Jim Carrey getting all the good comedy stuff? Can I just see the scripts that he didn’t want?’ ”

PATTI PERRET, WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Thornton and Bullock do battle over an election in Bolivia in the political comedy based on a documentary.

she recalls asking her agent.

“That’s when The Heat came about.”

Both The Heat and Crisis, she says, are examples of how broad opportunity can become. Just think: Hollywood could become a sea of great roles, not written for a man or a woman, she grins, but “for a human!”

The ‘Red Menace’ invades awards season True-life triumphs may give ‘Spies,’ ‘Trumbo’ an edge PHOTOS BY GETTY IMAGES

Communism is spreading at the multiplex as the Cold War looms over the upcoming awards season.

The “Red Menace” of the Soviet Union and fear-mongering in post-World War II America play heavily into two movies angling for Oscar nominations.

In Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies (in theaters now), lawyer James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks) navigates the PR nightmare of defending a Soviet spy (Mark Rylance) on domestic soil in the late 1950s and negotiates his trade for captured American pilot Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell).

The Soviet Union “had a nuclear arsenal to match our own,” Spielberg says. “It was a war of words, but it was set against the context of the mushroom clouds.

Both sides meant business, so it was a scary time.”

With Trumbo (opens Nov. 6 in New York and Los Angeles before expanding nationwide), Jay Roach directs the biopic of Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston),

Bryan Cranston pounds the keys as screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted by Hollywood for his communist views. screenwriter of Roman Holiday and Spartacus who was hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee in the late 1940s and ultimately banned by the industry for his communist leanings.

“Hollywood has only one story to tell about itself that is socially or politically important, and that is the blacklist,” Trumbo screenwriter John McNamara says.

“It became a witch hunt,” Roach adds. “Even if you knew a communist or had been to a meeting with them, you could

somehow suddenly be deemed an enemy of the state.”

Both films have a leg up on their competition because true stories fare well at the Academy Awards, says Fandango.com Oscar expert Dave Karger. Plus, “the Cold War hits this rare sweet spot of feeling historical but also being recent enough that many people in the academy lived through it,” Karger says. “Sadly, it feels relevant to today’s geopolitical scene and that helps their case.”

The era has been represented at the Oscars frequently over the

years, with multiple nominations going to films such as The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), WarGames (1983) and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011). The Right Stuff (1983) and JFK (1991) both garnered eight nods each — the former won four awards and the latter two. Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) was nominated for six Oscars and was, like Trumbo, a true-life drama dealing with anticommunist paranoia.

As for this year’s slate, awards site GoldDerby.com has Spies as a top 10 contender for best picture, director (Spielberg), lead actor (Hanks), supporting actor (Rylance) and original screenplay, and Trumbo has candidates for best actor (Cranston) and adapted screenplay.

The 2001 John Nash biopic A Beautiful Mind had Cold War leanings and won best picture, and it bodes well for Spies and Trumbo that the top prize has gone to historical triumph-overadversity films such as The King’s Speech (2010), Argo (2012) and 12 Years a Slave (2013).

That theme is one of Roach’s favorite aspects of Trumbo, the director says. “Instead of succumbing to the fear-mongering, a storyteller used his own talent and skill to write a lot of really good stories, some of which were about love of humanity vs. fear.”

WORLD SERIES

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Likens has been here before Middleweights backed against the ropes by heavyweights every week, the Kansas University football players must feel at times as if they never will escape.

Offensive coordinator Rob Likens doesn’t have to stop at telling them things will get better, he can show them evidence from his previous job.

Cal head coach Sonny Dykes brought Likens with him from Louisiana Tech to coach receivers and ultimately coordinate the passing game for him.

In the staff’s first year, 2013, Cal wasn’t as outmanned as Kansas is now, but it was close. The Golden Bears went 1-11 that season, 5-7 the next and are off to a 5-2 start.

“I’m so thankful that I went through that experience,” Likens said. “It has helped me to keep my head and my emotions in check right now. There’s no telling what I’d be thinking right now if I hadn’t gone through that already.

So that was a really, really good experience because it is very similar.”

Right down to having a true freshman quarterback.

KU’s Ryan Willis is listed at 6-foot-4, 211 pounds. Jared Goff, a freshman in 2013, now is listed at 6-4, 215.

Willis and Goff both come from athletic families. Both of Willis’ parents competed in the Big 12 and his sisters both played Div. I basketball. Jerry Goff, a left-handed-hitting backup catcher and Jared’s father, played for the Montreal Expos, Pittsburgh Pirates and Houston Astros.

Willis became the starter in the fifth game of the season. Goff, who graduated high school a semester early, was the starting quarterback from Day 1 of spring football.

Willis arrived on campus in June for conditioning and became the starter after a spring-game injury to Michael Cummings and inseason injuries for Deondre Ford and Montell Cozart.

“The spring that Jared was there really helped him because he was the starter coming into camp and he was there all summer working with the players, so it was almost like he was a redshirt,” Likens said.

As for how Willis and Likens are similar, Likens said, “Arm strength. And you might not think they’re great athletes, but they’re sneaky. They kind of get out of trouble sometimes when you don’t expect them to. They’re not just statues sitting back there like you might think. So they can get out of trouble with their feet. Jared had really exceptional pocket awareness. I think that’s what makes him really special.”

Goff threw 18 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions as a freshman. So far, Willis four TD passes and four picks. As a sophomore, Goff posted Todd Reesing-esque

KANSAS CITY’S ALCIDES ESCOBAR, LEFT, CELEBRATES AS HE SCORES ON AN INSIDE-THE-PARK HOME RUN during the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals defeated the Mets 5-4 in 14th innings.

KC wins on Hosmer’s sac fly in 14th Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Alcides Escobar started the World Series with a jolt. Five hours later, he ended the longest opener ever with a jump — into the arms of his joyous Kansas City Royals teammates.

Saved by Alex Gordon’s tying home run in the ninth inning off Mets closer Jeurys Familia, the Royals won in the 14th when Eric Hosmer’s sacrifice fly scored Escobar for a 5-4 win over New York late Tuesday night.

This tied for the longest Series game in history, and it had a little bit of everything.

A lot of everything, actually.

Escobar hit an inside-thepark homer on the very first pitch from Matt Harvey.

Later, a power failure caused the national TV audience and the team’s replay rooms to go dark.

The nearer it got to midnight — and beyond — the more oddly the ball bounced.

In the 11th, Salvador Perez grounded a single that hit the third-base bag and caromed high in the air. In the 12th, Daniel Murphy struck out on

ROYALS PITCHER EDINSON VOLQUEZ THROWS during the third inning of Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri. a pitch that got past Perez — it ricocheted off the backstop to the Royals catcher, who threw out Murphy at first.

About the only thing missing? A home run by Murphy, who had connected in a record six straight postseason

games. The MVP of the NL Championship Series did contribute a pair of singles.

Then in the 14th, Escobar reached on an error by third baseman David Wright. Ben Zobrist’s single put runners at the corners and an inten-

tional walk to Lorenzo Cain loaded the bases.

Hosmer atoned for a key error by lifting a flyball to medium-deep right field, and Escobar barely beat Curtis Granderson’s throw home.

Escobar streaked home standing up, and the Royals rushed from the dugout to meet him.

It was 12:18 a.m. at Kauffman Stadium, and Game 2 is tonight.

Jacob deGrom starts for the Mets against Johnny Cueto. It’s a hairy matchup: DeGrom’s flowing tresses vs.

Cueto’s mop of dreadlocks.

Anyone who’s ever seen the Royals play — especially in October — knows they’re called resilient for a reason.

Once again, they reinforced their reputation.

Gordon shook the ballpark when he tagged Jeurys Familia, hitting a solo drive with one out over the center field wall. The star closer hadn’t blown a save since July 30 and had been nearly perfect this postseason.

Jayhawks hope to corral Perine this year

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Had it not been for Kansas University safety Fish Smithson hustling from one side of the field to the other on a dreary day in Norman, Oklahoma, last November, OU running back Samaje Perine’s NCAA single-game rushing record of 427 yards might be even higher.

See, Smithson, who enters this week’s rematch with Perine and the Sooners — 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium — ranked second in the Big 12 in tackles per game (9.3), was the Jayhawk who finally dragged Perine down on his recordPlease see KEEGAN, page 3C breaking run that covered

42 yards and pushed the OU back past Melvin Gordon, who, one week earlier, had set the record at 408 yards.

Like many of his teammates, Smithson remembers every detail of that play and the pain that lingered after giving up the record.

“Their fans and their coaching staff didn’t really know what to do when he broke the record,” Smithson recalled. “It was just hard for us to sit there and watch them, in the middle of a game, celebrate his recordbreaking game.”

With the wounds of that Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo woeful performance so fresh in their minds, the KANSAS UNIVERSITY LINEBACKER COURTNEY ARNICK (28) TRIES TO PULL DOWN Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine (32) on Nov. 22, 2014, at Memorial Stadium in Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C Norman, Oklahoma.

First the Mets took out the world capital of power, then the world capital of entertainment and finally the world capital of overly doughy pizza.

Or to put it another way: Their road to the World Series ran through three natural rivals in sports and other matters, starting with Washington’s Nationals, then the nation’s second- and third-most populous areas in Los Angeles and Chicago.

And they nearly got a shot at Canada’s biggest city, too, until the Royals defeated the Blue Jays in the ALCS. Instead, it’s … Kansas City.

Kansas City? Really? Kansas City, whose population would roughly match that of Queens County, home of the Mets — if you merely quintupled it?

Kansas City, known for its barbecue, the lovely fountains at its well-preserved old stadium and a celebrity fan, actor Paul Rudd, who is best known for his politeness?

This is no way to get riled up for a World Series.

Compare it to the Mets’ previous Fall Classics: in 2000 they met the Yankees (‘nuff said), in 1986 the Red Sox (‘nuff said), in ’73 the defending champion Athletics and in ’69 the Orioles, 10 months after the Jets stunned Baltimore’s Colts in Super Bowl III. (The Knicks and Bullets weren’t too fond of one another, either.)

KC’s two-time American League pennant winners are a stunning success story for a franchise that seemed permanently unable to compete in a big-bucks era, and are a team that is difficult to dislike.

Moreover, there is precious little history between the Mets and Royals, who until Tuesday night had not met since 2013 and had not met at Kauffman Stadium since 2004.

Come to think of it, there is precious little sports animus between these towns, period.

One of the most memorable contests involving the cities came in 2001, when the Giants visited the Chiefs in their first game after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Kansas City fans treated them like a home team, cheering heartily in support.

The Jets and Chiefs never have met in an AFL or AFC Championship Game, and only twice in any playoff round.

The old Kansas City A’s were so nice they became a virtual farm team for the Yankees of the mid-to-late 1950s, sending a series of good players east in lopsided trades, most notably future two-time MVP Roger Maris.

But enough about all that.

There is one obvious, genuine sports rivalry between the cities that must be mentioned here, even if it involves the other New York nine.

The Yankees and Royals staged a series of memorable American League Championship Series from 1976-80, with the Yankees winning in ’76 — on Chris Chambliss’ walk-off home run — ’77 and ’78 and the Royals doing so in ’80.

The capper in 1980 was George Brett’s three-run home run off Rich Gossage in the seventh inning of the third and final game, a 4-2 Royals victory.

Three years later, Brett found himself again in the middle of drama at Yankee Stadium, when his bat initially was deemed to have a tad too much pine tar on its handle.

Brett, 62, is now as the Royals’ vice president for baseball operations.

After the Royals clinched a berth opposite the Mets in the World Series, he lamented how the old Royals “could never get past the freakin’ Yankees.” But those days surely were memorable.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS RUNNING BACK CHARCANDRICK WEST (35) leaps over players to score a touchdown against Pittsburgh on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

West gives Chiefs a lift Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Perhaps Charcandrick West could use a geography lesson.

The second-year running back had no trouble finding the end zone for the first time Sunday, helping the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But when West was asked how far that sacred bit of turf was from tiny Abilene Christian, the youngster could only smile.

“Man, a thousand miles,” West replied. “A thousand.”

Feels like it, sure. Even though the real answer is about 640 miles.

“I dreamed of this when I was 4, 5-years old. To be here talking now is crazy,” West said in front of his locker, still wearing sweaty, grass-stained pads. “It’s a surreal feeling.”

When the Chiefs lost Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles to a season-ending knee injury a couple of weeks ago, the assumption was they’d get by with a committee approach in the backfield. But then West churned out 110 yards to help them snap a fivegame skid.

Suddenly, the Chiefs had a new feature back to carry the offense.

“We’ve known what he can do. It was just a matter of get-

ting enough opportunities,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I mentioned after last game that he needed a few more opportunities. He got those today. You saw what he did with it.”

Along with 22 carries, West hauled in a couple of passes.

He was solid in blitz protection.

He proved he can do many of the same things Charles did in the Kansas City offense.

“We had a lot of young guys in the huddle. Hats off to those guys,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “They got opportunities, stepped up and made the most of them, especially Charcandrick. Taking his lumps and then to play the way he did, four quarters, was really, really nice.”

Those lumps came after his first start a week ago in Minnesota. West ran for 33 yards, which was forgettable at best.

But the day became memorable for the wrong reasons when he fumbled with 4:38 left and the Chiefs trailing 16-10, foiling their comeback attempt.

But considering where West came from, bouncing back from that disappointment was nothing.

West originally committed to Louisiana Tech, where he was going to play cornerback, but transferred to Abilene

Christian and switched to running back. He wound up running for more than 2,000 yards for the Division II school, but he hardly had the kind of career that causes a player from such a small school to show up on NFL draft radars.

The Chiefs took a chance on him as an undrafted free agent, though. Then they signed him to their practice squad, where he spent last season running the opponent’s plays.

West eventually earned a job on the 53-man roster out of training camp, primarily because of his ability to play special teams. But when Charles got hurt in the third quarter of a game against Denver, it pried open an opportunity for West to make his mark.

He did it in a game that the Chiefs desperately needed to win. They had lost five straight and their postseason chances had virtually vanished. But now, after beating the Steelers on Sunday, the Chiefs head to London to face Detroit with at least a glimmer of hope.

“Our backs were against the wall. We had to show what we had,” West said. “We prepared great, we had three great practices. We came out. We were focused. And we got the job done.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Cougars blank Lions

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — A few games into the season, Lawrence High’s boys soccer team switched to a three-man defense to create more offense.

The Lions improved offensively, but knew they were putting pressure on their defenders. That pressure was too much on Tuesday when the Lions suffered a 4-0 regional loss to Shawnee Mission Northwest at the Shawnee Mission District Athletic Complex.

The Sunflower League’s leading scorer, SM Northwest senior forward Nate Jones, gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute on a weird bounce off of the turf that went the opposite way that LHS goalkeeper Jeremiah Barbe was expecting.

The fifth-seeded Cougars (12-3-2) added two goals in the first five minutes of the second half, scoring on counter-attacks when the Lions pressed up the field for scoring chances.

“We thought the first goal was pretty lucky for them,” LHS senior defender Sam Dykes said. “But they kept pushing and pushing. They got what they earned.”

Despite the four goals, the three-back defense of Dykes, junior DJ Davis and senior Adam Weir turned away plenty of other strong SM Northwest attacks. The Cougars outshot LHS, 24-12.

“They’ve got some very good forwards and they played just through balls over the top and tried to use their athleticism against us,” Weir said. “It was the rainy turf that they had a lot of deflections that bounced around our keeper.”

SM Northwest sophomore Jack Lammers scored the second goal, taking one dribble on the right side of the box and finding space for an open shot. Three minutes later, Jones dribbled down the middle of the field and slipped a shot into the net.

numbers with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Fifteen spring practices could have put Willis ahead of where he is and might have even made him the starter from the first week of the season.

At times, he plays like a freshman, a very, very talented freshman.

“Freshmen will drive you crazy as a coach,” Likens said. “There was the one play where he threw it up to Tre’ (Parmalee) on the sideline.

A week ago that was an interception. As the ball was flying through the air, I’m screaming, ‘No!’ and then Tre’ catches it and I’m like, ‘Yes!’ He’ll

who played or coached in that game a year ago are using it as motivation to slow Perine’s roll this time around. Given the fact that the OU back is coming off a 23-carry, 201-yard effort in last week’s victory over Texas Tech (both seasonhighs), the Jayhawks (0-7 overall, 0-4 Big 12) know they have their work cut out for them. With that said, they’re not exactly dwelling on last year’s historic outing.

“I’m not too sure how many people have the stomach to go back and watch it,” Smithson said.

“I believe our coaches might. I’m not sure.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S EBRAHIM DIAGNE CHASES DOWN A BALL WITH SHAWNEE MISSION NORTHWEST’S WYATT GUNTER during the first half on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2015. For more photos, please visit www.ljworld.com/ lhssoc102715 The Cougars added their final goal in the 73rd minute when Lammers caught the Lions out of position.

“Going into that game, we’re thinking we need to shut down (Jones),” LHS senior midfielder Brennan Davies said. “Just amazing player. It shows if our whole mentality on defense is to shut that one guy down and he still scores two goals, I mean, that’s so hard to stop.

And I think we did very well except for a couple of lapses.”

In the fourth minute, LHS senior midfielder Piper Hubbell exited the match because of a back injury and did not return.

Without Hubbell, the Lions rotated senior Hunter Jewell and juniors Spencer Monninger and Charlie Carr at the center midfielder position.

“That’s tough, you lose your all-league player in the first five minutes, what are you going to do?” LHS coach Mike

Murphy said. “This is playoffs, you need your best players out there. That really hurt us. How unlucky can you get?”

The Lions had a few solid opportunities in the first half.

Junior forward Ebrahim Diagne fired a shot from the top of the box over the net in the 36th minute.

In the final minute of the first half, LHS junior forward Cain Scott snuck a pass to sophomore Quentin Harrington with space on the left side of the attacking third, but Harrington’s shot went straight to SM Northwest’s goalkeeper.

“We were already tired, then when we were trying to push forward, we were just out of gas,” Davies said.

The Lions ended the season with a 4-12-1 record.

“It’s tough,” Weir said, “because we’ve got so much better over the last part of the season and we thought we would make a run in these playoffs.”

do a couple of those on you per game, drive you crazy, but it’s also fun because their hope for the future is awesome.”

Likens said Cal also dealt with injuries to the offensive line during Goff’s freshman year. It’s doubtful that left them with a line as young as the Jayhawks will field Saturday vs. Oklahoma.

It’s possible that at the same time, Kansas will have a true freshman at both offensive tackle spots, two wide receivers and at quarterback.

That’s unusual at QB, almost unheard of at offensive tackle.

“Most of the time, offensive linemen are the last guys who develop,” Likens said. “Honestly, you shouldn’t be playing those dudes until they get to be red-shirt sophomores and juniors, but it

is what it is so we’re just going to have to make the best of it.”

Senior O-tackle Larry Mazyck has had an inconsistent senior season and remains penaltyridden. He and true freshmen Larry Hughes and Clyde McCauley will get most of the snaps at the two tackle spots because junior Jordan Shelley-Smith, the team’s best tackle, is doubtful (concussion).

“We’re going through a tough deal right now. It’s going to be tough,” Likens said. “There are no magical answers. You can’t just open up the cabinet door and there are going to be some offensive linemen sitting there. However, this time next year it will be beneficial for us that these guys will have all the experience that they’ve had.”

Likens said he thought Willis might have benefited from twice getting rocked harder than he ever had in the Oklahoma State game because, “now he knows what it’s like and it’s not as bad as what you think.”

But it doesn’t take long for that experience to become detrimental if the beatings continue.

“You just don’t want that to happen too much or you’ll ruin a kid,” Likens said. “He’ll start looking at the rush instead of looking down field.”

Kansas offensive line coach Zach Yenser not only has worked tirelessly at developing big, young bodies, he has lined up verbal commitments from four offensive linemen, three from high schools. Willis’ ribs appreciate Yenser’s efforts.

going to back to watch it.”

Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, who was KU’s interim head coach during Perine’s romp, said he watched it but only because he watches the previous match-up with every opponent week after week.

Asked what he remembered most about Perine’s performance, Bowen spoke more about the 5-foot-10, 230-pound sophomore’s powerful style than his recordbreaking day.

“His size alone makes him a little bit special at that position,” Bowen said. “He’s a very compact, heavy, strong person.... He has vision, has burst, has acceleration and, for a guy who they list at 230 pounds, and looks to be all of 230, that’s a pretty special gift.”

First-year KU coach David Beaty watched that game on tape last season.

Like Bowen, he remembered being impressed by Perine’s physical tools. But while the KU coach said his defense could learn a lot from last year’s failure, he added that he would not make too much about the 2014 game this week. For starters, both teams have different make-ups, from something as simple as OU having an almost entirely new offensive line to something as complex as the KU defense operating out of a fourman front instead of the odd front. What’s more, this team is much more concerned with looking ahead and building for the future than it is residing in the past.

“We go to school on the information we have from that game last year,” Beaty said. “And, obviously, there’s a lot of things that we can correct. We contributed to

that (record) a little bit and hopefully we can make the proper adjustments this week and kind of limit him. But we don’t talk a lot about it, we really don’t, because we don’t feel like one year to the next helps or hinders us.

(What) matters is what we do when that ball gets snapped on Saturday.”

Bowen agreed, and said fundamentals, not some revenge-fed anger, would determine how successful his defense was against Perine this time.

“That was a tough day,” Bowen said. “They bigboyed us and we really couldn’t do much about it. They were a lot better than us that day. Flush it and forget about it.

It’s over. Obviously, you wanted to play better but you didn’t, so you move on. You gotta get your hat to the ball and hope that your tackling fundamentals come through.”

An all-time school-high 19 former Kansas University basketball players — including rookies Kelly Oubre, Cliff Alexander and Sasha Kaun — are on Opening Day rosters for the 2015-16 NBA season.

KU’s 19 players are two more than last year’s previous high of 17 Jayhawks.

Kentucky, by the way, opens the 2015-16 season with 21 players on NBA rosters.

Oubre was selected by Atlanta — for the Washington Wizards — with the No. 15 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He stole headlines before and after the draft with some brash comments about his own ability.

“I just go hard. I try to go as hard as I can every possession. That’s the way I’m going to succeed in this league — going hard to make a name for myself — so I’m just trying to play with a chip on my shoulder and make sure I’m a good teammate, first and foremost,” Oubre told the Washington Post.

At 19, he’s three years younger than anybody else on the Wizards’ roster. He will make $1,920,240 this season and $2,006,640 in 2016-17.

The team has an option for $2,093,040 his third year in the league.

“I’m a rookie and the youngest guy on the team, so there’s a lot of older guys and veterans, guys that have been around,” Oubre told the Post. “They kind of embraced me as their younger brother so I kind of take that role and I just try to learn from them as much as possible.”

Alexander, according to Hoopshype.com, will make $525,093 this season as an undrafted free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers. There’s a team option for $874,636 next season. Alexander made the active roster despite a nasty knee bruise that prevented him from playing in any preseason games.

“He should have been drafted in the first round, if you ask me,” veteran center Chris Kaman, who is entering his 13th NBA season, told the Oregonian. “He is an animal. Getting him as an undrafted player is unbelievable.”

Kaun, 30, played the last seven seasons for CSKA in Moscow before signing with LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers last summer. He’s to make $1,276,000 this season and $1,333,420 in 2016-17.

Of playing with James, Kaun told Cleveland. com, “he is one of those players who sees lots of things and makes quick decisions, quick passes.”

Veterans Paul Pierce and Cole Aldrich are with

new teams this season — in fact are teammates on the L.A. Clippers.

Pierce, who is entering his 18th NBA campaign, has a three-year deal worth $3,376,000 in year one, then $3,527,920 and $3,679,840. Aldrich will make $1,100,602 this year and has a player option of $1,227,286 for 2016-17.

Jeff Withey has moved from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Utah Jazz where he is on a oneyear deal worth $947,276.

Thomas Robinson, who spent the last two years with Portland, now is with the Brooklyn Nets where he’ll earn $981,348 this season and has a player option for $1,050,961 next year.

Marcus Morris has been separated from his brother, being traded by Phoenix to Detroit. Marcus makes in the vicinity of $5 million a year for the next four seasons. Markieff Morris remains in Phoenix where he makes between $8 and $8.5 million a year the next four campaigns.

Several Jayhawks remain on the team they played for a year ago.

Drew Gooden of Washington, who has been in the league 14 years, will make $3,300,000 this year with a team option of $3,547,500 in 2016-17.

Nick Collison, a 13-year veteran, has two years left on a deal with Oklahoma City that will pay him $3,750,000 per annum. Another 13-year veteran, Kirk Hinrich of the Chicago Bulls, is on a one-year deal worth $2,870,000.

Mario Chalmers, an eight-year veteran, will make $4,300,000 in the final year of a deal with the Miami Heat. Darrell Arthur has a new twoyear deal with Denver that pays him $2,814,000 this season with a player option of $2,940,630 for 16-17. Brandon Rush is in the final year of a deal with Golden State that will pay him $1,270,964.

Rush became the 11th Jayhawk to win an NBA title last June.

Third-year pro Ben McLemore of Sacramento has three years left on a deal that pays him $3,156,600 this year, followed by $4,008,882 and a player option of $5,375,910.

Minnesota second-year pro Andrew Wiggins has four years remaining on a deal that pays him $5,758,680, followed by $6,006,600, $7,574,322 and $9,846,619. Joel Embiid, who is expected to miss his second straight season with Philadelphia because of injury, will make $4,626,960 this year, followed by totals of $4,826,160, $6,100,266, and $8,003,549. Tarik Black, in his second season with the L.A. Lakers, has a one-year deal worth $845,059.

Kawinpakorn wins third title J-W Staff Reports

Kiawah Island, S.C. — Kansas University senior golfer Yupaporn Kawinpakorn rallied from four strokes back in the final round to win the Palmetto Intercollegiate on Tuesday at Turtle Point Golf Course.

Kawinpakorn fired a 2-under 70 for a 54-hole total of 3-under 213, three strokes ahead of secondplace Laura Fuenfstueck of the College of Charleston.

It was Kawinpakorn’s third straight individual title and her fourth career victory. The last Jayhawk to win three straight in-

dividual titles was Holly Reynolds in 1992-93.

Kawinpakorn also earned her 14th career top-five finish, a KU record. “(Monday) I thought so many things could happen out there, especially with the storm,” Kawinpakorn said. “I told myself to stay focused and not let the rainy conditions get into my head.”KU placed eighth in the 20team tournament with a 34-over 898 total. Furman won with an 11-over 875.

“Mook finished her round strong with two birdies to secure the win which was great to see her do,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said.

DETROIT’S MARCUS MORRIS (13) DEFENDS Atlanta’s Dennis Schroder (17) on Tuesday night in Atlanta. Morris, a former Kansas University standout, had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Pistons’ 106-94 victory.

Roundup The Associated Press

Pistons 106, Hawks 94 Atlanta — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points to lead all five Detroit starters in double figures, carrying the Pistons to a surprising victory over Atlanta on Tuesday night and ruining the home opener of the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference last season.

Andre Drummond had 19 rebounds and 18 points for the Pistons. Marcus Morris also had a doubledouble with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Ersan Ilyasova chipped in with 16 points and Reggie Jackson added 15.

The Pistons, who haven’t had a winning season since 2008 and finished 28 games behind the Hawks a year ago, began to pull away just before halftime. They led by double figures through most of the final two quarters and held on despite missing 20 of their last 22 shots from the field.

Atlanta was looking to build on last season’s franchise-best record of 60-22 and run to the conference final. Instead, the Hawks picked up where they left off in a sweep by the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing again in familiar fashion.

The Pistons had a commanding 59-40 edge on the boards, again exposing the biggest issue to plague the Hawks last season.

Atlanta acquired 6-foot-11 Tiago Splitter from San Antonio but it made no immediate difference for one of the NBA’s worst rebounding teams.

Detroit won despite shooting just 38.5 percent (37 of 96).

Dennis Schroder led the Hawks with 20 points.

Paul Millsap had 19 and Jeff Teague 18, but new starter Kent Bazemore — who stepped in at small forward after DeMarre Carroll left in free agency — was held scoreless.

The Pistons gave a glimpse of what was to come right from opening tipoff. Caldwell-Pope knocked down a threepointer midway through the first quarter to push Detroit to a 20-10 lead.

Atlanta tied it up by the end of the period and finally pushed out to a lead early in the second. But

BOX SCORE Royals 5, Mets 4, 14 innings,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Known more for his glove than his bat, Gordon got a huge hug in the dugout from Eric Hosmer. A two-time Gold Glove first baseman, Hosmer’s error gave the Mets a 4-3 lead in the eighth.

Escobar provided the early excitement. He loves to swing at first pitches, and this time the MVP of AL Championship Series produced his best result yet.

A mix-up by Mets outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and rookie Michael Conforto helped Escobar wind up with just the second inside-the-parker to lead off a Series game. Ol’ Patsy Dougherty of the Boston Americans did it in 1903 — his came in the second game ever of what became known as the Fall Classic.

Harvey brushed aside the misplay and quickly settled in. The Mets, meanwhile, soon caught up with Royals starter Edinson Volquez, who did his best on the day his father died in the Dominican Republic.

Granderson homered and the Mets came back for a 3-1 lead. Mike Moustakas lined a tying single off Harvey tied it in the sixth.

Hosmer let Wilmer Flores’ two-out, twohopper get past him in the eighth, allowing Juan Lagares to scamper home with the go-ahead run.

Next thing Hosmer knew, he was embracing Gordon on the bench.

Gordon most surely enjoyed going 90 feet farther than he made it last October.

When last seen in the Series, he was held up at third base in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 after an outfield misplay.

KANSAS CITY’S BEN ZOBRIST SCORES THE ROYALS’ SECOND RUN ON A SACRIFICE FLY BY ERIC HOSMER during the sixth inning of the Royals’ 5-4, 14-inning, World Series win Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Father of Royals’ starter dies before game Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The father of Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez died shortly before his son took the mound to start Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Mets, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because he was not authorized to discuss the matter, said the right-hander was unaware Danio Volquez had passed away in his native Dominican Republic while warming up in the bullpen before the game.

It was not known if Volquez was told before he took the mound.

There was no word on the cause of death, though the 63-year-old Volquez had been dealing with heart disease. It was the elder Volquez who introduced his son to the game.

Edinson Volquez, an 11-year veteran, took the mound as scheduled for his World Series debut. His first pitch to Mets leadoff hitter Curtis Granderson and KC fell a run short against San Francisco.

For both teams, this began as a lucky day.

Exactly 30 years earlier, on the same field,

Bret Saberhagen and the Royals routed St. Louis in Game 7 for their most recent crown. The next year, also on Oct. 27, Darryl Strawberry homered

went for a called strike, and the right-hander went on to retire the side in the first inning. He struck out Daniel Murphy, the hottest hitter this postseason, as the crowd inside Kauffman Stadium chanted, “Eddie!

Eddie!”

Volquez’s father is the third parent of a Royals player to die in the past three months.

Connie Moustakas, the mother of third baseman Mike Moustakas, passed away on Aug. 9 after a battle with cancer. Moustakas honors her every time he steps into the batter’s box by scribbling her initials in the dirt with the end of his bat.

Charles Young, the father of Chris Young, died of cancer on Sept. 26 — the day before his son made his first start for Kansas City in two months. Chris Young responded by throwing five no-hit innings before leaving the game to be with his family.

Young had been scheduled to start Game 4 of the World Series in New York, but pitched three innings of relief and earned the win in Game 1. to help the Mets beat Boston in Game 7 for their latest title.

By the time the Royals won early Wednesday, they’d already made Oct.

Add a seasonal twist to homemade pastry

H

ere’s the thing: Homemade doughnuts are basically love transubstantiated into pastry.

They can be as basic as a bit of leftover pizza dough that’s been fried and rolled in sugar, but there’s not much that’s more cozy than settling in for a long, chilly Sunday morning with a hot cup of coffee and a plate piled high.

You need something better, you say? Fancier?

More razzle-dazzle?

Fine. Spice them up for fall and drizzle whiskey sauce over the top.

For the fall spices, I recommend trying cardamom and cinnamon. The cinnamon is obvious, but cardamon adds a little mystery, a little “this isn’t quite ‘pumpkin spice’ but it still makes me want a thick sweater and a walk in the leaves.”

For the whiskey drizzling sauce, see the recipe below.

But before you start getting fershnickered at just the thought of whiskey drizzling sauce — we’re speaking metaphorically here, because the actual alcohol cooks out — one final suggestion.

This recipe makes at least 2 dozen doughnuts, so why not walk a plate over to a neighbor while

Warm Mushroom and Kale Salad with Bacon Balsamic Dressing

Warm kale salad makes for great winter fare

A

s the weather cools and we look to comfort foods and slow cookers, I start to worry (more than usual, which is rather a lot) about my winter pounds. How can I get that satisfying, warm comfort food feeling without eating my way through mac and cheese and roast beef and pasta with sauce every night of the week?

One way I have found is the “warm salad” — which sounds like a contradiction in terms, but really it’s not. It’s not the same as a vegetable side that is cooked through and a different thing altogether.

No, the warm salad is just what it sounds like.

Kale stands up to the

heat rather well, so usually that’s the base for my winter salads.

I add hearty things like mushrooms, beets, beans and bacon to make the salad seem more like a meal, and usually it does the trick handily.

This is my favorite combination by far, and it’s so great because it is a main dish that you can put together in about 5 minutes, and it’s gorgeous on the plate.

Warm Mushroom and Kale Salad Ingredients 2 large handfuls of kale, cleaned and de-stemmed 5 or 6 baby bella mushrooms, halved or quartered

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke 2 large cloves garlic 1/2 shallot 2 tablespoons olive oil (I like a flavor infused one for this — I used garlic and sundried tomato this time) 3 strips thick-cut bacon Shaved Parmesan

Directions Warm your olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

When it’s ready, toss in roughly chopped shallot and garlic, and let that saute for just a minute or two. I also add a dash of kosher salt here.

Next, toss in your mushrooms. Remember that this is not meant to cook the vegetables through, but rather just warm them and coat in flavors.

Last, toss in the kale and move it around with tongs until the green deepens and it wilts just a little bit.

Remove from the skillet and put on a large plate.

Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy. Pour a couple of teaspoons of bacon grease over the salad, cut up the bacon and sprinkle on, and add a tablespoon or so of balsamic vinegar. Toss on a few pieces of shaved fresh

Parmesan. I had some Parmesan crisps, so I added those instead of croutons for crunch.

To make Parmesan crisps, just make a few small piles of shredded Parmesan on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 F for just 3 minutes or so, until they are melted and beginning to harden. Let them cool, and they make a great garnish for many dishes.

This dish is low in carbs, if that’s important to you, and I promise there is no flavor spared in the making of it.

This makes one large main-dish salad or 3 to 4 smaller side salads.

Coming up roses: How to turn apples into a flowery dessert

By Kim Ode Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Things are rosy on the Internet these days, at least if you’re perusing baking sites. Pinterest has a whole page devoted to apple roses, and a scroll through Facebook regularly unearths someone’s video for rolling apple slices in a strip of puff pastry.

It’s easy to see why the technique is popular: The glimpse of peel along the top of each “petal” creates the illusion of a red rose. But certain recipes are wanting. Sometimes it’s the method, saying no more than: Wrap the strips into apple roses.

In some tarts, the apples remain disconcertingly raw or steamed. Other pies, while gorgeous, look challenging to slice and still retain their beauty.

The apple rose technique generally is credited to famed French pastry chef Alain Passard, who came up with his Bouquet of Roses tart several years ago.

All of this got us to thinking about how to highlight this technique in a personal dessert — because we love individual tarts — with a little extra pizazz. What we came up melds a sort of cheese Danish with apple roses.

Sure, it requires a little more effort than sliding

Rosy Posy Apple Tarts sliced apples into a pie crust. But making the posies isn’t as tricky at it looks, and the impact-toeffort ratio is hugely tilted toward oohs and ahhs.

Rosy Posy Apple Tarts Makes 9 Note: We liked the flavor and texture of SweeTango apples, but any good baking apple will work. Just make sure apples have the reddest skin possible. From Kim Ode.

For the filling: 6 ounces (3/4 of an 8-ounce package) cream

glaze, taking care to cover the entire surface, but keeping glaze from spilling over onto the baking sheet.

In the center of each square, place a generous tablespoon of cream cheese mixture. Place pans in refrigerator to chill.

In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups water and lemon juice.

Cut each apple in half.

Remove the cores (a melon baller does a great job; otherwise, scoop carefully with a small spoon) along with stems and blossom ends. Placing the apple half cut-side down, and using your sharpest small knife, slice from top to bottom as thinly as possible.

Place rose on the crumpled paper towel to “set up” and repeat with the remaining apple slices — microwaving, dabbing, wrapping and propping — until you have 9 roses.

There will be extra slices, which we’ll use in a minute.

Take pastry squares out of the refrigerator and place a rose in the center of each dollop of filling, anchoring firmly. Press remaining slices into filling, curving around the rose to create more petals. You can make tiny rosebuds from smaller slices, placing them so they peek out from under the larger rose.

(Consider any remaining apple slices a snack!)

With a pastry brush, carefully brush melted apple jelly over each rose so it glistens, then sprinkle with a pinch of decorative sparkling sugar, if desired.

Place pans in oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown, switching pans on racks halfway through the baking time.

Cool on wire racks, and serve warm or at room temperature the same day.

If desired, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar before serving.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Guilty conscience will drive you crazy Dear Annie: I always try to do the right thing.

But I did something stupid, and it could cost me my job and the respect I have earned.

For 10 years, I have been the director of a preschool. Every member of the staff has to take 18 hours of learning in-service. One of my staff members was absent during one of the in-service exams, so I took the test for her and signed her name.

I could get fired and probably should be. I am sick about it. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I mailed it in. Please tell me what to do. Should I tell my boss upfront and resign? Or do I live with the stress and pray I don’t get caught? I will never do it again, but I doubt anyone will care.

— This Is Not Me Dear Not You: We don’t think you will be

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

able to live with the stress. It’s already eating you up inside, and you will forever anticipate the truth coming out. You made a terrible mistake and will have to face the consequences, but there is a possibility that if you are forthcoming and sincerely sorry, you will be given another chance. You might also wish to talk this over with your clergyperson or counselor.

Dear Annie: Can you settle a dispute between

ABC goes big for Halloween As we’ve seen on comedies good and bad, from “black-ish” to “Truth Be Told,” American sitcom writers are unafraid to have characters talk about race. And TV characters never shut up about sex. But class remains a subject that everyone ignores, or approaches gingerly. But every young trick-ortreater knows that Halloween is fraught with class distinctions.

They are evident in Halloween decoration — in its excess or its absence; in the generosity of candy dispensed or withheld. Are you a half-candy bar house or a full-candy bar house? Trickor-treaters know. And word spreads. More than any other holiday, Halloween allows young people to go from house to house and to see, smell and touch what goes on behind closed doors. And to compare their neighbors’ homes — and candy — with their own.

These experiences make for great stories and good comedy.

So it’s no surprise that ABC turns its comedy block over to Halloween. “The Middle” (7 p.m., TV-PG) pays homage to “The Twilight Zone” with vignettes from the point of view of every member of the Heck family. Look for Brooke Shields to return to her recurring role as Rita, the Hecks’ trashy neighbor.

The theme of neighborhood comparisons continues on “black-ish” (8:30 p.m., TV-14).

Dre takes pride in the fact that his family has been able to move to a “good-candy neighborhood,” so he has mixed feelings when his nephews and nieces arrive with their trick-or-treat bags. On one hand, Dre knows that his children are slightly terrified of their less-affluent cousins, while on the other, he thinks they could use a little toughening up. Michael Strahan guest-stars as Dre’s cousin, June Bug. Elsewhere in the 1980s, on “The Goldbergs” (7:30 p.m.), Beverly hectors Adam on the dangers of the spooky holiday.

On “Modern Family” (8 p.m., TV-PG), the Dunphys continue their tradition of trying to top their last front-yard Halloween extravaganza. While this always puts the comedy focus on Claire’s type-A perfectionism, it’s also an example of the effortless affluence of TV characters who can drop thousands of dollars on Halloween decorations year after year.

Tonight’s other highlights l Ruzek’s competency is questioned on a two-hour helping of “Chicago P.D.” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14). l Neal clashes with his father about elder care on “Code Black” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l A video of Juliette punching a fan goes viral on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Now that’s more like it!

my husband and me?

“Lenny” is retired and does the majority of the housework and taking care of our cats.

On weekends, I like to get up early while Lenny sleeps in. One cat prefers to be fed at the crack of dawn, but the other two sleep late and aren’t hungry.

I usually feed the one cat but not the others. I also pick up the cakedon dirty cat dishes and put them in the kitchen sink to soak. I always intend to wash them, but often get busy doing other things. When Lenny gets up and goes into the kitchen, he sees the dirty bowls in the sink and has a cow.

I think he should be glad I’m getting a head start on the cleaning, but he thinks I don’t appreciate him because I leave the bowls in the sink for him to wash.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Oct. 28: This year you often face opposition to your ideas and actions. Tap into different perspectives in order to enhance projects and ideas. If you are single, you will learn to accept others and their views more completely. If you are attached, try to respect where your significant other is coming from.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your effectiveness seems to depend on your ability to multitask. Tonight: Midweek break.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others look to you for feedback or support. Your creativity keeps emerging in waves.

Tonight: You choose.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHH Your chatty ways and charming nature could backfire on you. You won’t want to assume a low profile, but you might need to.

Tonight: Get R and R. Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You know where you are going and why. Some friends might surprise you. Tonight: Only where the action is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Understand your goals, and be willing to take the lead to manifest them. Tonight: Out. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Read all you can about a developing situation or interest.

That is not the case. I was taught to soak dirty dishes because it helps in the washing. Who is right? — Dirty Debbie Dear Debbie: Soaking dishes is always a good way to remove crustedon food, but your husband interprets it to mean you want him to wash them. This could easily be resolved if you soaked them before going to bed and washed them when you got up.

Or, when your husband sees them, he simply tells you that they’ve soaked long enough and then you jump right in and take care of it. This is a minor dispute, and we’re certain you can fix it. Too bad you can’t teach the cats to clean their own dishes.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Knowledge is power. Tonight: Relax to great music.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH One-on-one relating could be triggering you more than you choose to let on. Share your ideas. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Attempt to view others’ feedback as ways of strengthening your plans. Be gracious.

Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s ideas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Let others express their sense of direction before you decide to assume more responsibility. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your down-to-earth attitude might help a friend more than you realize. That is why this person will seek you out. Tonight: Respond to emails.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Deal with a problem that might not be of your making.

Spend some time and/or thought on your domestic life. Tonight: Make your home your castle.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Keep communication flowing between you and a loved one. One-on-one conversations will be essential to relating with him or her and resolving issues. Tonight: Defer to this person more often.
