here have to be a lot of teachers in Lawrence — the education capital of Kansas — feeling mighty good these days. After all, Kansas is one of the better places in the country to be a teacher. Kansas has been ranked the ninth best state in the country for teachers, according to a new study by the financial website WalletHub. The website looked at a variety of factors to compile the rankings. Here’s where Kansas ranked on the various metrics:

The Lawrence City Commission unanimously voted Tuesday to advance all six finalists to the interview stage in the process to fill the vacancy left by former Mayor Jeremy Farmer. Commissioners were given the opportunity to cut any of the finalists recommended by an advisory committee or add any qulified candidate, including eight others who applied for the position but were previously eliminated. The commission will hear from the candidates at a final interview Thursday. “I would strongly recommend that we invite all six to participate in this process,” Mayor Mike Amyx said. “I think we need to hear from these folks and be able to get their answers to questions. I think the committee did a great job and made hard decisions.” A 12-member advisory committee narrowed the pool of applicants to six after a four-hour public forum Sept. 24.

City to take over school inspections By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The city of Lawrence will take over inspections of the remaining six school makeovers that are part of a $92.5 million bond issue, city commissioners voted Tuesday. Commissioners unanimously approved an agreement saying that city staff would conduct building and fire code plan reviews, issue permits and inspect the construction of projects at Schwegler, Deerfield, Pinckney, Sunflower, Broken Arrow and Prairie Park elementary schools.

She said the neighborhood association gathered donations to pay the family’s utility bills. “I just want you to know the impact on this single hardworking dad and his kid,” Walsh said. The plan approved Tuesday mandates that USD 497 pay half of the city’s regular permitting fees. The school district previously asked to have about $280,000 in city building permit fees waived as part of the school improvement projects. Despite waiving fees for other types of projects in the city, commissioners declined to waive the fees for the district. Commissioners also exempted the school projects from the city’s building codes and allowed the district to find its own inspectors. Current commissioners Matthew Herbert, Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley were not on the commission in May 2014, when the decisions were made. Herbert, who is a government and civics teacher

at Lawrence High School, said after the vote Tuesday that the commission should consider waiving fees for the school district in future projects. “Lots of stuff comes before the commission pretty regularly that deals with giving incentives or breaks of some kind to businesses, be it a property tax abatement or be it some form of an IRB (industrial revenue bond),” Herbert said. “And yet it baffles me that we were unwilling initially to waive fees for a school.” In response to Herbert’s comments, Mayor Mike Amyx, the only current commissioner who was involved in the May 2014 decision, said, “There were a whole lot of comments and questions when this came before us, and a lot of things expressed.” He agreed that the City Commission should consider in the future changing school district fees. The commission’s action Tuesday also calls on the city to resume its normal inspection and permitting process going forward.

The Kansas Legislative Research Department sent a survey to school board members statewide on Friday asking about the issue, The Wichita Eagle reported. Researcher Martha Dorsey said the request initially came from the

Legislature’s Special Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local Government. She said the committee is looking into House Bill 2345, which would restrict a person from serving on a local school board if his or her spouse, parent or sibling worked for any school district in the state.

Thomas Paine’s 1776 pamphlet “Common Sense” is an influential work often cited as one of the inspirations for the American Revolution. His 1791 “Rights of Man,” defending the French Revolution, was also a historically important work. However, Jonathan Clark, a Hall distinguished professor of British history at Kansas University, said he has come to the conclusion that Paine, an English-American political activist, may not have written “Rights of Man” in its entirety. Currently writ- Paine ing a book on Paine’s social and political thought, Clark said he began to closely examine and compare his works. Clark’s attention was particularly drawn to a section within “Rights of Man” detailing the genesis of the French Revolution, which read as though it was written by a native French speaker and someone with more knowledge of the coun-

from educators and school board members. In its current form, the legislation would restrict people who conduct business with school districts from serving on their local school boards. The bill also would bar teachers from serving on any school board in the state; currently, teachers are restricted from serving on the school board in the district where they work but aren’t prevented from serving on another school board. Mark Desetti, legislative director of the Kansas National Education Association, called the bill “absurd” and said it would make half the school board members in the state ineligible. Sen. Mitch Holmes, a St. John Republican who chairs the special committee, said in an email Mon-

try’s politics than Paine likely had, Clark said. “I became skeptical of Paine’s authorship,” he said. “This is not the prose of an Englishman.” Clark asserts that the portion of the work in question can likely be attributed to the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat, military officer and a key player in both the American and French revolutions. Lafayette likely sent Paine a letter or manuscript with his own observations, knowing that he would use them in “Rights of Man,” Clark said. The incorporation of Lafayette’s writing into his own wouldn’t be consid-

ered plagiarism as much as it would be considered a “cooperation,” Clark said. “Lafayette was Paine’s closest French friend, and he probably provided Paine with the information knowing what use he would make of it,” he said. “It is not Paine’s historical insight; rather, it is Lafayette’s propaganda to promote his own career in French politics.” Clark said his theory calls into question Paine’s expertise on both the American and French revolutions. It also challenges the generally accepted idea of the Enlightenment as a ‘relay race’ where one baton is passed from one movement to the next or one revolution to the next. Instead, Clark said there are many differences between the American and

day that if there is a perceived or a real problem with conflicts of interest, “we should at least quantify the number of board members affected by HB 2345 in its current form.” Holmes sent out an email last session about another bill, decrying the influence of the teachers union on local school boards. Tom Krebs, spokesman for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said concerns about potential conflicts of interest if school board members are married or related to educators are overblown. He said the association advises members to withdraw themselves from decisions if a conflict of interest arises. “What if you asked the Legislature to impose a similar sort of (restriction) that you can’t serve as a legislator if any of your family — and we’re talking husband, wives, children, in-laws — had any business to do with the state?” Krebs asked.

hundreds of pounds of marijuana from growers in Northern California to be distributed in Lawrence, Topeka and the Kansas City area. On Tuesday, Morehead said a presentence investigation report found about 725 kilograms, or about 1,600 pounds, of marijuana transported from California to Kansas was attributable to Dahda’s directions, and that he served in a managerial role. “We believe it was entirely foreseeable that his co-conspirators would have been involved in (the transport of) more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana,” Morehead said. “(Dahda) knew the inner workings of this conspiracy.” Federal District Judge Kathryn Vratil agreed, noting that the report’s estimations may have

been conservative. “I believe that Mr. Dahda was up to his eyeballs in this conspiracy and he knew exactly what was going on,” Vratil said. “It is my belief the estimate of 80 pounds per crate (of marijuana transported) is reasonably and conservatively reliable.” Years of wiretaps, surveillance and tips from confidential informants resulted in SWAT-style police units swarming Lawrence one day in June 2012 and arresting dozens of people. Federal investigators raided local businesses and seized guns, property and millions of dollars in drug money. Vratil ultimately sentenced Dahda Tuesday to 201 months, or about 17 years, in prison for his activities in the drug conspiracy. Dahda was imprisoned from 2005 to 2010 on a separate drug conviction, and was on parole while engaging in illicit activities involved with the operations of the drug

conspiracy. On Tuesday, Morehead said that wiretapping was already underway in 2012 when Dahda filed a document with the court alleging that he was compliant with his parole conditions and should therefore be released early from its provisions. Vratil said the move was “incredibly brazen” and “sort of (left her) speechless.” For this reason, she also gave Dahda the maximum sentence of 30 months in prison for violating conditions of his parole. Vratil ruled that Dahda’s conspiracy sentence and parole violation sentence should be served consecutively, meaning that Dahda’s controlling sentence is 231 months — or 19 years, three months — in prison. Los Dahda is scheduled to be sentenced this morning. – Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 832-7146 or cvdoornbos@ ljworld.com.

French revolutions and the pair may not be as connected as many suppose. “The French Revolution is very French and the American Revolution is very American,” he said. “They’re not necessarily deeply and intrinsically related.” Conclusions drawn from this theory are likely to upset a number of historians, Clark said. “A lot of people will be very cross at this,” he said. “It undermines the idea of Enlightenment as all one struggle; it undermines the notions that both revolutions are essentially about the attempt to embody natural rights, that they were caused by natural rights denied.” Clark published an article on his discovery in The Times Literary Supplement, an English publication. The topic has also been covered extensively in many other international publications. Clark is currently revising his upcoming book on Paine and writing a book on the Enlightenment.

Medical, nursing and health professions students are expected to be working together in handson ways more than ever in KU Medical Center’s new Health Education Building, construction of which is just underway. “Interdisciplinary education is a passion of mine, so I was thrilled to see how committed the School of Nursing is to interprofessional learning,” Maliski said in a news release. “I also appreciate the strong collaboration I observed between education and practice at the school, and the aura of collegiality and respect both within the KU School of Nursing and between all the schools at KU Medical Center.” Maliski will replace longtime nursing dean Karen Mill, who retired in June after being in the job since 1996. Marge Bott will continue as interim dean until Maliski arrives.

Sheriff’s office collects 175 pounds Short, low-speed police pursuit of medications in dropoff event leads to arrest early Tuesday By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office collected 175 pounds of prescription and over-the-counter medications Saturday during its National Drug TakeBack Day event, according to the sheriff’s office. The event took place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot between the old County Courthouse, at 1100 Massachusetts St., and the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center at 111 E. 11th St. The medications were accepted anonymously and without cost for safe disposal, no questions

asked, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said. “This drug take-back initiative is designed to help prevent pill abuse, misuse and theft,” Dymacek said in a news release. “Medicines that are left to sit in home cabinets and aren’t used are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse.” Those who missed the event are invited to drop off their unwanted medications at the green drug drop-off box in the lobby of the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center at 111 E. 11th St. that safely takes drugs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

A Baldwin City man is being held in the Douglas County jail in connection with a short police pursuit early Tuesday, according to a booking report. Alex Stefan Hall, 23, was arrested just before 1 a.m. Tuesday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, attempting to flee or elude police, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, transporting open liquor, refusing an alcohol test and lacking proof of insurance, according to the report. Sgt. Hayden Fowler of the Lawrence Police De-

partment said an officer attempted to stop a car on a routine traffic stop when a short, low-speed pursuit ensued. The driver of the white four-door sedan stopped in the middle of Seventh Street east of Indiana Street and fled on foot, Fowler said. He was apprehended about a block away. Fowler said alcohol was a factor in the incident. No one was injured, and officers left the scene shortly after 1:45 a.m. Tuesday. Hall was being held on a $2,350 bond Tuesday morning, according to the booking report.

BRIEFLY Kasold ‘diet’ talks continue in meeting this evening

Douglas County Commission meeting canceled today

The Lawrence Pedestrian Coalition has arranged a meeting with city staff to learn more about construction options for Kasold Drive. The public informational meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. today and run to 8 p.m. It will be in the City Commission meeting room at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. City engineer Dave Cronin will present proposals for how the street may be redone. City engineers have recommended a “road diet” on Kasold Drive between Eight and 14th streets to make the section more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Construction on the street is slated to begin next year.

Douglas County commissioners will not hold their weekly meeting this afternoon, County Administrator Craig Weinaug said. Commissioners typically meet at 4 p.m. every Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public. This Wednesday, however, the meeting was cancelled because several county staff members will be unable to attend, Weinaug said. Commissioners will meet next at 4 p.m. on Oct. 7, Weinaug said. An agenda for that week’s meeting has not yet been published.

GOP divisions hamper compromise

EDITORIALS

Arts asset In the last 40 years, the Lawrence Arts Center has grown from humble beginnings to a true community asset.

t’s hard to imagine that 40 years ago hardly anyone in Lawrence had much idea what a community arts center should look like. From humble beginnings in the former Carnegie Library building, the Lawrence Arts Center has become an integral part of the life of Lawrence, attracting thousands of people every year to learn, perform, create and enjoy. The story in Monday’s Journal-World about Ann Evans, the Arts Center’s founding director, is a reminder of how far the organization has come. When it opened with a single exhibit and workshop in 1975, only a quarter of the former library space was usable. Now the Arts Center is a focal point for the arts in Lawrence, housed in a facility much larger than you would find in most cities our size. The building is filled with a lifetime worth of activities. Lawrence children can attend the arts-based preschool and participate in various after-school and summer programs through high school. Adults come to the Arts Center not only to enjoy their children’s activities but to pursue their own artistic interests. Throughout its history, the Arts Center has put a priority on serving all the residents of Lawrence, not just those who can pay the full fees for classes and programs. According to its annual report, the center provided 1,058 financial aid awards totalling $111,759 in 2014-15. The Lawrence Arts Center is a true grass-roots effort made possible by the hard work and generosity of many, many donors, artists, instructors, organizers and staff members. Over the last 40 years, they have created a unique artistic hub that not only serves the interests of Lawrence residents but attracts many visitors from other cities to attend events and programs. All those who have supported and worked to build the Lawrence Arts Center over the last four decades should be proud of the important community asset it has become.

When Republicans won the Senate last November and increased their majority in the House, GOP leaders made clear they intended to end the gridlock of recent years. “We’re going to function,” vowed the new Senate majority leader, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. The goal, House counterpart Kevin McCarthy said, is to “make the government function again.” Speaker John Boehner’s abrupt decision to resign exemplifies the extent to which predictable divisions within those majorities have

Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com

“

It’s really a rejection of the governing philosophy of the GOP’s mostrevered modern leader, President Ronald Reagan, who believed, ‘An 80-percent friend is not a 20-percent enemy …’” undercut reaching that goal. More importantly, it reflects a similar split within the larger Republican electorate that could jeopardize the GOP chances in 2016 by raising questions about the party’s readiness to govern. Boehner tired of non-ending efforts to reconcile the traditional conservatives like himself with the tea party activists demanding a more aggressive approach. The activists are quite willing to shut down the federal government to achieve their goals — this year, to block funds for Planned Parenthood health programs and two years ago to kill Obamacare. The extent to which these Capitol Hill divisions reflect

the overall GOP was illustrated by the way Republican presidential hopefuls echoed them in reacting to Boehner’s departure. Establishment conservatives praised Boehner and expressed regret. These included former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. “He leaves a legacy of unparalleled integrity and steady, mature leadership during difficult times that will be a model for future House speakers and anyone interested in public service,” Kasich said. By contrast, the majority of the GOP field hailed the speaker’s downfall. These included everyone from the poll-leading outsiders such as Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina to struggling insurgents such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Trump called Boehner’s departure “wonderful,” complaining that the speaker was “not conservative enough.” Jindal trumped him by exulting, “That’s one down, 434 more to go before we are done” and tweeting, “it’s time to fire everybody in Washington, D.C.” Even Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has sought to straddle the GOP divide, said it underscored his theme

that “the time has come to turn a new page and allow a new generation of leadership in this country.” Their comments reflected the extent to which Republicans want officials to stand up for their principles rather than seek compromise. That contrast has increased the influence of those who came to Washington to reduce the role of government — which they regard as a negative force — rather than to form positive coalitions toward conservative goals. It’s really a rejection of the governing philosophy of the GOP’s most-revered modern leader, President Ronald Reagan, who believed, “An 80-percent friend is not a 20-percent enemy,” and was always willing to cut a deal achieving most of his goal. More importantly, all evidence is that an all-or-nothing approach is both impossible to achieve in a politically divided government and likely to prove politically hazardous. If that sort of candidate wins the GOP nomination, it could damage Republican chances next year. Non-Republican voters favor more bipartisan cooperation, and the political situation awaiting the next president will demand it. Republicans are likely to control the next House, but Democrats will almost cer-

Colombia celebration premature The Obama administration, Pope Francis, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and the presidents of Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela and many other countries enthusiastically applauded Colombia’s preliminary agreement with FARC guerrillas to end the five-decade armed conflict that has caused more than 220,000 deaths. But their celebration is premature. First, the preliminary deal may be stalled in Colombia’s Congress. Opposition legislators say that the current deal, which sets a six-month deadline for a final agreement, would need a constitutional reform among other things because the current constitution prohibits people accused of war crimes from running for public office. Although President Juan Manuel Santos has enough votes in Congress to amend the constitution, he may not have the time. Legal experts estimate that it will take eight rounds of legislative debates that would last at least 14 months to approve a constitutional reform, far beyond the deadline set for the deal’s implementation. And without guarantees that they can run for office, FARC leaders would not lay down their weapons, which would effectively kill or postpone the deal. Second, the peace agreement could be defeated in a public referendum that Santos has vowed to convene. Polls show that most Colombians support a peace deal,

World leaders jumped too quickly to endorse this deal.”

but that they also loathe the FARC and are strongly against granting impunity to those responsible for war crimes such as massacres, systematic torture or forced recruitment of children for war. Former president and opposition leader Alvaro Uribe, as well as some leading human rights groups, are already campaigning against the peace deal on grounds that it would presumably allow war criminals to avoid jail time. Under the current deal, war criminals could serve their sentences in vaguely defined restricted areas — which could be their towns or cities — and would have to do community service. “This could set a terrible precedent,” says Jose Miguel Vivanco, head of the Human Rights Watch advocacy group’s Americas division. “There is a consensus in international law that when it’s a matter of war

crimes, these atrocities must be punished. Doing community service in a restricted area of the country does not qualify as punishment.” Likewise, Amnesty International says that “vague definitions and potential amnesties raise fears that not all human rights abusers will face justice.” It adds that “the only way for Colombia to move forward from its troubled history is to ensure all those who were responsible” for crimes against humanity “are finally held to account for their crimes.” Third, several of the leading FARC commanders are wanted for extradition on drug trafficking charges in the United States, with $5 million rewards over their heads. Even if the Obama administration enthusiastically supports the preliminary deal, the U.S. justice system may not nullify its extradition requests. If that happens, it’s an open question whether FARC commanders would sign an agreement that would expose them to being captured and extradited if they travel abroad. My opinion: World leaders jumped too quickly to endorse this deal. If over the next six months, Santos announces that the FARC narco-terrorists have agreed to serve at least some time in jail — as Colombia’s rightwing paramilitary terrorists have done — the deal would deserve support. Until then, count me among the skeptics. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

tainly have enough strength to prevent a GOP Senate majority from mustering the 60 votes needed to pass a partisan agenda. So, the only way the next president can get anything done will be across party lines, something that’s anathema to the GOP tea party wing and its adherents. To be fair, the Democratic race mirrors the GOP’s internal party divisions, with more liberal elements backing Bernie Sanders and the centrist establishment supporting Hillary Clinton (and, potentially, Vice President Joe Biden). But their contest lacks the nastiness that has marked some Republican rhetoric, and both Clinton and Sanders tout their ability to work across lines, something Republicans other than Kasich rarely mention. “Everything is going to have to have to be some sort of compromise,” Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., a prominent House GOP pragmatist, said on Fox News Sunday. Although he referred to current battles, his words spoke a reality far too few Republican presidential combatants have been willing to recognize. — Carl P.

PUBLIC FORUM

Useless plan To the editor: I would like to add my thoughts to those of others who do not approve of the Kasold Drive plan. In my opinion, it’s a useless project, costing millions of dollars. Living just a few blocks from Ninth and Kasold, my neighbor and I attended the meeting sponsored by CFS Engineers. It quickly became clear that these people had an agenda, and that included ignoring our questions. They were determined to push through the plan for an expensive roundabout and narrowing a four-lane street to two lanes between Eighth and 14th streets. We were given two choices of plans, both including a roundabout. When I asked how this would affect persons in the neighborhood and the possibility of having the bus route on Kasold, the answer was “That’s another department!” I hope that the city will consider all our complaints, and turn this project down.

Snowden to Twitter: ‘Can you hear me now?’

Edward Snowden has joined the Twittersphere. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked details of U.S. surveillance programs, tweeted, “Can you hear me now?” around noon ET Tuesday. Twitter verified the account. Snowden was quickly greeted on social media by famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Snowden’s response: “@neiltyson Thanks for the welcome. And

now we’ve got water on Mars! Do you think they check passports at the border? Asking for a friend.” Former three-term New York governor George Pataki, running for the GOP presidential nomination, tweeted harsh words for Snowden: “Some say you have courage, I saw real courage on #Sept11 You are just a traitor who put American lives at risk.” Snowden amassed more than 300,000 followers in two hours and has over 670,000 at day’s end. He was following one account — the NSA. Snowden, 31, once spent four months in the Army. He was a contractor for Booz Allen Ham-

ilton when he leaked details of U.S. surveillance programs to The Guardian and The Washington Post. The first reports were published in June 2013. He was in hiding in Hong Kong at the time but fled to Moscow. Facing charges of violating the Espionage Act and theft of government property, he stayed in Russia when the United States revoked his passport. He works in IT in Moscow and consults for several U.S. companies, his lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, said. Snowden’s lawyers have been trying to negotiate a deal that would allow him to return to the USA.

WASHINGTON Some congressional Republicans remain determined to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood, but a nationwide USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds Americans back government support for the group by more than 2-1. Two-thirds of those surveyed, 65%, say funding should continue for the group, which provides contraception, cancer screening and other health services to women; 29% say it should be cut off. “Basically, we’re defunding women’s health care,” protests Erika Raney, 32, a business consultant from Los Angeles who was among those surveyed. “It furthers the issue that women still don’t have equal rights in the U.S.” Passions run high on both

sides of the issue. Ronald Joseph, 78, a retiree from Elmira, N.Y., objects to the abortion services Planned Parenthood provides, although the $500 million it receives in federal funding isn’t used for that purpose. “They’re butchers,” he said in a follow-up interview. “They might as well put sawdust on the floor.” The survey found a sharp partisan divide: 91% of Democrats support federal funding for Planned Parenthood; 59% of Republicans say those funds should be shut off. An even bigger majority opposes shutting down the government as a tactic to deny funds for the group. Before a deadline of midnight Wednesday, congressional Republicans are likely to pass a short-term budget bill that would fund Planned Parenthood and the rest of the government for a few months. It’s possible that showdown has only been delayed until the next fiscal dead-

line in December. By 73% to 19%, those surveyed say opponents shouldn’t force a shutdown over the issue.

The U.S. government has drastically understated the number of people killed in high-speed police car chases, potentially by thousands of fatalities over several decades, a USA TODAY investigation shows. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration overlooked at least 101 motor-vehicle deaths in 2013 related to a police chase, according to a USA TODAY review of police reports and internal documents, court records, police car videos and news accounts based on police statements. The NHTSA’s count of 322 chase-related deaths in 2013 — the most recent year for which its records are publicly available — understates the total by at least 31%, the investigation shows. The NHTSA’s undercount suggests that the actual number of people killed in police chases since 1979 could be more than 15,000 — far more than the 11,506 chase-related deaths found in the agency’s public records — and that chases result in a death much more frequently than studies have stated. The findings expose potentially major flaws in how the federal government tracks vehicle fatalities and, to a lesser extent, how police document high-speed chases, which often result in innocent people being killed and have been sharply restricted in some cities. USA TODAY reported in July that as many as onefourth of those killed were bystanders, and one-fourth were passengers in cars fleeing police. In most of the 101 deaths found by USA TODAY, the failure to say they were related to a police chase points to problems with how the NHTSA gathers information from states on fatal crashes and codes the crashes in a database used by Congress, safety experts, local officials and insurance companies to find trends and possible safety improvements in vehicles, driving laws and policies. “That’s pretty significant,” said Frederick Rivara of the University of Washington, a leading researcher on accident and injury prevention who has studied fatal police chases. “You would not expect to have that amount of undercounting.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B Afghan special forces arrive at an airport as they launch a counteroffensive to retake the city of Kunduz from Taliban insurgents Tuesday.

Fall of Afghan city poses big test U.S.-backed forces try to retake Kunduz Jim Michaels USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Afghan forces launched a counterattack Tuesday to drive Taliban militants from the northern city of Kunduz in what is emerging as a critical test of a U.S. military strategy that greatly restricts the involvement of American forces. U.S. warplanes conducted an

airstrike on the outskirts of the city, and the U.S. military provided intelligence and surveillance support to Afghan forces, according to the military command in the capital of Kabul. Heavy fighting was reported, and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said his forces had regained some government buildings, the BBC said. In a televised address Tuesday, Ghani said “progress” was made in recapturing Kunduz, but security forces were hampered by the Taliban using civilians as human shields, according to the BBC.

“Taliban have taken positions in civilian dwellings and other buildings in the city,” said Army Col. Brian Tribus, director of public affairs for the U.S.-led military coalition command in Kabul. The capture of the city marked the biggest victory for the Taliban since U.S. forces ousted the radical Islamist group in 2001. The seizure of a major commercial city in the north calls into question U.S. plans to withdraw forces from Afghanistan and raises comparisons to Iraq, where violence escalated after U.S. troops withdrew in 2011.

year, Islamic State militants marched into Iraq and took control of several major cities, facing little resistance from Iraq’s U.S.trained forces. “Kunduz highlights that a de-

parture of American forces from Afghanistan could very possibly provide a strategic opening for the Taliban to expand control to major cities,” said Seth Jones, a RAND analyst.

Chase information not included in reports v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The NHTSA had no explanation for the findings and said it is reviewing 30 crashes it lists as not involving a chase but for which USA TODAY obtained a police report that a chase was active at the time of a crash. Those 30 crashes resulted in 39 deaths. “We are very interested in understanding if the cases were coded correctly,” the NHTSA said in a statement, adding that it might consider changing the training and guidance it gives analysts. “We do appreciate your bringing these to our attention since we want to publish the best data possible.” The NHTSA is charged with recording and analyzing every fatal motor vehicle crash, yet it has no record at all of at least 26 crashes, resulting in 38 deaths, that involved a vehicle chased by police in 2013. The omissions include two of the year’s deadliest crashes: a police chase March 20 in Kingsville, Texas, that resulted in seven deaths, and a chase Nov. 23 in Falfurrias, Texas, that ended with five passengers being killed. Both crashes involved smugglers carrying undocumented immigrants and were well publicized. The omissions raise questions about the NHTSA’s assertion in a report in July that “nearly 100% of crashes involving a fatality make it into [the] database.” “These data are critically important for helping us make the public safer and making motor vehicles safer and better,” Rivara said. “The community that does research on injuries trusts the NHTSA data for being accurate.” CRASH DATABASE

The NHTSA, an arm of the Department of Transportation, analyzes police reports, death certificates and other records for each of the roughly 30,000 fatal crashes a year and codes each crash in a database on dozens of factors that may have caused or influenced the crash, ranging from a motorist’s speed, sobriety and driving history to the weather and road condition. Although the database helps guide policy, the agency and police officials have long known about potential inaccuracies in the agency’s annual count of fatal police chases because the nation’s 18,000 police departments document crashes in widely varying ways, and the NHTSA has no requirement that police note they were chasing a motorist. The International Association of Chiefs of Police urged the NHTSA in 1996 to establish standards on when departments should report chases, so the agency could “accurately account for all pursuits.” The NHTSA’s 148-page crashreporting guidelines, first published in 1998, say nothing about reporting police pursuits, and its coding manuals are vague about when NHTSA analysts should list a crash as involving a chase. “There’s no national database on any number of things police do,” said John Firman of the chiefs’ association, noting a dearth of information on police use of force that led to President Obama’s Police Data Initiative, launched in May. “The overarching issue is that in critical issues surrounding police activity, everybody wants to be able to say,

150 pages of documents about these uncounted crashes

‘Here is a definitive, reliable database, so we can talk about national, regional and local issues.’ ” Researchers have used NHTSA data on police chases to recommend policies, including restrictions on the type of offenses for which police should chase a motorist. A growing number of police departments permit chases only of fleeing drivers suspected of a violent felony. By undercounting chase-related deaths, the NHTSA could unintentionally ease pressure on police to restrict chases, said Geoffrey Alpert of the University of South Carolina, a leading researcher on pursuits who has done studies for the Justice Department. “It becomes less of an issue for the public and the politicians,” Alpert said, adding that the NHTSA should stop counting chase-related deaths if it can’t do it precisely. “If it’s not accurate, why put out all these numbers?” NHTSA spokesman Gordon Trowbridge, asked this year how accurate agency records are concerning police chases, said, “To the extent that information included in police action reports accurately reflects what happens, [the database] accurately reflects that information.” ‘THE RIGHT QUESTION’

The NHTSA relies on analysts from each state to enter crash details into its database, and those analysts generally review only a police crash report, which typically runs a few pages and includes basic information about the people and motor vehicles in-

Some police departments do not mention a chase on the crash report, recording it instead on a separate, moredetailed document the NHTSA analysts do not read. “There’s all kinds of things that NHTSA doesn’t ask about or know about,” said Capt. John Magill of the Miami Township Police in Ohio, where two officers were suspended for violating the department’s pursuit policy after a chase April 15, 2013, resulted in the deaths of two people in a fleeing car. The crash report — and NHTSA records — say nothing about a pursuit, which is described instead in a separate police file. “It’s not my fault that they don’t ask me the right question,” Magill said of the NHTSA. The four-page Ohio Traffic Crash Report, used by police statewide, is typical of state crash forms. It has 50 boxes where officers enter a number or check mark to note factors such as vehicle type, injury severity and “contributing circumstances.” There’s no place to note a police chase, leaving it to officers to include that information in a one-paragraph narrative or in a separate report not read by the NHTSA. “We’re focused on the crash itself,” said Lt. Craig Cvetan of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. “A crash is not caused by a pursuit. The crash is caused by the actions of a driver, so that’s what the report documents.” CHASE NOT MENTIONED

In Prince George’s County, Md., near Washington, police who chased Ronald Hayes Jr. on Dec. 8, 2013, did not mention the chase on the three-page crash report, though Hayes was charged

IN BRIEF 6 KILLED IN ANOTHER SURGE OF VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO

Six people were killed and eight others wounded since Monday morning in the latest spate of bloody violence in the nation’s third-largest city. The flurry of gun violence comes as Chicago has experienced a 21% surge in homicides and a 20% increase in non-fatal shooting incidents so far in 2015, according to Chicago Police Department data. The latest violence all occurred on the city’s South and West sides, which historically have endured the vast majority of violence in the city. Deputy Chief Eugene Roy told reporters that gunfire killed two women and wounded three others as they returned from a family outing on Monday on Chicago’s South Side. About five hours later and less than 3 miles away, a woman and two men were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting early Tuesday in the Fuller Park neighborhood. On Monday morning, an 18year-old man was fatally shot on the city’s West Side. — Aamer Madhani

with fleeing or eluding police, as well as manslaughter after he hit and killed two women in a minivan. The police were not a “proximate or contributing factor” in the crash “and therefore [are] not mentioned” in the crash report, department spokeswoman Julie Parker said, adding that the chase was documented in a separate police record and in a news release. Police would note a chase in a crash report only if an officer was involved in the collision or if the officer’s driving “directly led to the impact,” Parker said. The Prince George’s incident is one of at least 15 crashes in 2013 in which a crash report — and NHTSA records — say nothing about a police chase, but a driver was charged with fleeing police in a vehicle, or police records other than the crash report describe a chase, USA TODAY found. Police have wide discretion not only in whether they mention a chase on a crash report, but also in whether they indicate that a chase contributed to a crash. The NHTSA says a crash involves a police pursuit if a chase is active at the time of the crash, or if it has been called off but is “related to the crash.” Agency officials acknowledge the definition is subjective and relies heavily on how police describe crashes. USA TODAY found 10 crashes resulting in 13 deaths in which police said they had called off their chase. In some of those cases, drivers continued speeding after police stopped, and it’s impossible to tell what role the initial chase played in the crash. USA TODAY did not include those 13 deaths in its tally of 101 chase-related fatalities not counted by the NHTSA in 2013. Corrections & Clarifications

TIDE OF MIGRANTS BY SEA TOPS 522,000 IN EUROPE THIS YEAR Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

record 522,124 migrants and refugees have arrived in Europe by sea this year, the International Organization for Migration said Tuesday. The number is more than double the previous high set only last year. Of the estimated number of migrants who made the hazardous journey by sea, 388,000 arrived in Greece and 130,891 in Italy. They hail from countries that include Syria, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and Bangladesh, the IOM said. Last year, 219,000 migrants and refugees escaping war and poverty sailed to Europe. The route to Italy along the central Mediterranean is the deadliest — 2,621 migrants have drowned or gone missing there this year — but deaths have started to increase in the Aegean Sea, where many Syrians are heading from Turkey in an effort to reach Greece, the IOM said. It estimated that 246 people have died on that route in 2015. “Countries with far fewer resources than the European Union are hosting millions of refugees in the Middle East and thousands more migrants are on

the move in many African countries,” IOM Director General William Lacy Swing said. “What we are seeing in Europe is a consequence of a much bigger phenomenon,” Swing said in New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly. He said wars, governments, poverty and climate change are forcing more people to flee their home countries and put their lives in the hands of human smugglers, risking death at sea or in deserts to get to Europe. Dutch King Willem-Alexander on Monday deplored images of families forced to flee their homes and said the Netherlands has increased its humanitarian aid. “We call on other nations to follow suit and give additional support to the U.N. so it can provide food and shelter to all those who have been forced to flee and give them a chance to rebuild their lives,” he said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly. Last week, European Union ministers approved a plan to relocate 120,000 migrants across Europe in coming years to take some of the burden off nations such as Greece and Italy. The United Nations has called for the 28-nation EU to go beyond relocating that number of migrants, saying it expects the plan will need to be expanded.

The route to Italy along the central Mediterranean is the deadliest — 2,621 migrants have drowned or gone missing there this year. MIGRANTS HIT NEW HIGH The number of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe by sea has already more than doubled this year1 from 2014: 2014

Official: Incidents involving force used by border agents decline Kevin Johnson @bykevinj USA TODAY

After a wave of fatal shootings and controversial physical force incidents involving border agents, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske said Tuesday that all force incidents have declined 28% during the past year. Since taking office 18 months ago, Kerlikowske has revamped the agency’s deadly force policies and sought to crack a culture of secrecy that has long shrouded such incidents. He said the 120-agent internal affairs unit that investigates misconduct and force incidents may need to expand to more than 500 investigators. WASHINGTON

“I think we have made significant improvements in our openness, our training, our policy and in organizational change,” USA TODAY the commisKerlikowske sioner told a panel that advises Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. In the year since Johnson provided internal affairs with criminal investigative authority, Kerlikowske said it has become “quite obvious we will need significantly more (investigators), given the size of the organization,” which stands at 60,000 agents and support personnel. “We are working on a plan on how we will do that,” Kerlikowske

said. “But the more important part, of course, is that you have to crawl before you can walk.” The commissioner’s remarks offered a glimmer of positive news for the agency, which was the subject last year of a scathing account of use-of-force incidents that found that in at least two fatal encounters since 2010, agents violated their own policies. This month, Border Patrol Agent Lonnie Swartz was indicted on second-degree murder charges in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Mexican boy in 2012. Swartz told investigators he fired through an opening in the border fence after being the target of rock throwers on the Mexican side in Nogales, Sonora. Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, who was unarmed, was killed in the incident.

Marco Rubio has overtaken Donald Trump and secured second place for the first time in USA TODAY’s weekly GOP Power Rankings. Each week, we ask about 30 political experts from around the country who they think is the strongest candidate in the Republican field. Trump dominated in the first weeks of our survey. Last week, after a strong debate performance, Carly Fiorina knocked Trump from first place, and this week, Rubio has knocked him out of second, based in part on the fading of other candidates. “(Ted) Cruz and Rubio are very wellpositioned,” said Texas-based political consultant Matt Mackowiak. “Trump has hit his peak. Slow bleed ahead.” Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, summed up the state of the race: “Suddenly, Rubio finds daylight, moves into top tier.” Rubio was in sixth place in our survey three weeks ago, but the second Republican debate improved his standing. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s departure from the race last week created room for Rubio. “I think we will look back at last week and realize that it was a time when the GOP presidential race was completely reset,” said Craig Robinson, editor of TheIowaRepublican.com. “With Walker out, Iowa is up for grabs.” Pollster Kristin Soltis Anderson said, “Rubio has weathered the Summer of Trump admirably and emerges in a strong position to appeal to both establishment Republicans and the grass-roots activists on the right.” This reset has left more uncertainty at the top. In the first week of our survey, Trump took 25 first-place votes. This week, he took 10, eight went to Rubio, six to Fiorina and five to Ben Carson. Fiorina remains on top on the strength of second-place votes on most ballots where she wasn’t first. Nevada journalist Jon Ralston said, “The Revenge of the Establishment may be nigh. Rubio and Cruz both positioned well to take advantage;

Castro to Obama: End embargo, close Gitmo David Jackson USA TODAY

Cuban leader Raúl Castro told President Obama that full normalized relations cannot be resumed until the United States lifts the economic embargo on his country and abandons its naval base at Guantanamo Bay, officials said Tuesday. Obama and Castro held their second face-to-face meeting since unveiling plans in December to re-establish diplomatic relations. Obama, in his speech Monday to the United Nations General Assembly, also called on lawmakers to lift the embargo. But the administration opposes abandoning Gitmo, which also serves as a prison for detainees in the war on terrorism. Also Tuesday, the president chaired a meeting on ways to combat the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and the general threat of violent extremism. Thanking other countries for helping in the fight against the Islamic State, Obama said the United States and allies are harnessing a variety of tools that includes military, intelligence, and economic forces. “Our approach will take time,” he said. “This is not an easy task.” One reason: The fight against the Islamic State is “not a conventional battle,” Obama said, but rather “a long-term campaign not only against this particular network but against their ideology.”

Since the United States and Cuba made their announcement last year, the two countries reopened embassies in each other’s capital cities and eased travel restrictions. Differences remain, including U.S. protests of Cuba’s human rights record and detention of political prisoners. In a Monday speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Castro cited the embargo and Guantanamo Bay as obstacles to full normalized relations. Cuba Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla told reporters that the Castro-Obama meeting “took place in a respectful and constructive climate.” In order for normalization to happen, Castro told Obama that the “embargo that has caused damages and hardships to the Cuban people and affects the interests of American citizens must be lifted and the territory occupied by the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay should be returned to Cuba,” according to Rodríguez Parrilla.

CONSUMERS SHRUG AT MARKET VOLATILITY Consumer confidence unexpectedly improved in September despite stock market turbulence and a slowing job market. A closely watched index of Americans’ outlook rose to 103 from 101.3 in August, driven by a brighter view of current conditions. That’s the highest level since January. Economists expected a drop to 97. Falling gasoline prices have helped buoy consumer sentiment.

BIGGEST TECH IPOS NOW GIANT FLOPS

With Alibaba shares now trading consistently below their IPO price of $68 just more than a year after their record-setting public debut, the verdict is in on the largest Internet stock offerings of this boom. And the verdict is unanimous: Big tech IPOs have been among the dogs of your portfolio. The largest five offerings of this technology investment cycle, in order of how much the respective offerings raised for their online firms, were Alibaba ($25 billion), Facebook ($16 billion), Twitter ($2.1 billion), Zynga ($1 billion) and Groupon ($700 million). They include and are among the largest five tech offerings on record, along with Google’s $1.8 billion IPO in August 2004. Other than their great size, all five issues have two other things in common.

NHTSA: Chrysler hid crash deaths

Unclear whether the under-reporting is tied to previous recalls Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

The scope of Fiat Chrysler’s failure to handle recalls efficiently deepened Tuesday as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accused the automaker of widely under-reporting the number of deaths in accidents involving its vehicles. The revelation of the discrepancy — which NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind called “significant” — comes about two months after the automaker agreed to pay fines of up to $105 million for its failure to report recalls quickly and fix vehicles effectively. Rosekind on Tuesday pledged in a statement to “take appropriate action after gathering additional information on the scope and causes of this failure,” signaling that additional fines are possible. The federal agency had promised to punish Fiat Chrysler further if it discovered more problems in its recall processes during the course of its investigation.

JERRY S. MENDOZA

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was notifiied of the discrepancy in July, the NHTSA says.

Rosekind said NHTSA notified Fiat Chrysler of the “apparent discrepancy” in late July, after which the automaker investigated the matter and discovered “significant under-reported notices and claims of deaths, injuries and other information” the company is legally required to report. Fiat Chrysler said in a statement that it “promptly notified NHTSA of these issues and committed to a thorough investigation” after discovering the problems in the summer. It pledged “complete remediation.” The company “takes this issue extremely seriously and will continue to cooperate with NHTSA to resolve this matter and ensure these issues do not re-occur,” Fiat Chrysler said in a statement. Fiat Chrysler agreed in July to pay up to $105 million in civil penalties for failures spanning 23 separate recalls and more than 11 million vehicles, including primarily Ram trucks and Dodge SUVs made between 2008 and 2012. It was not immediately clear whether the under-reporting of deaths is connected to those recalls or other incidents.

Axel Springer bets $343M on ‘Business Insider’ Nathan Bomey and Roger Yu @NathanBomey, @RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Axel Springer, the German publishing company, said Tuesday it has acquired a controlling interest in Business Insider in a deal that values the online business news site at $390 million. Axel Springer, which already owned 9% of Business Insider, said it agreed to pay $343 million for another 88%. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ investment firm retains the remaining 3%. Business Insider founder Henry Blodget, a former Wall Street analyst, will remain CEO and editor in chief of the 8-year-old site,

which draws about 76 million unique monthly visitors with its mix of business news, market commentary, enterprise stories and graphics-driven, readerfriendly news nuggets. “We have tremendous respect for Axel Springer’s commitment to independent journalism and its global vision for the future,” Blodget said in a statement. In a conference call, Axel Springer said the $390 million valuation for Business Insider is about six times the anticipated revenue for 2016. It surpasses another notable acquisition of a digital-native media company — AOL’s $315 million purchase of The Huffington Post in 2011. While other online publishers,

Axel Springer, which also owns German national newspapers ‘Die Welt’ and ‘Bild,’ is eager to expand its presence beyond Europe. such as BuzzFeed and Vox Media, have been valued at higher prices, their shares are still largely held by early investors and executives. The valuation underscores the premium media companies are placing on securing a broad digital audience. Business Insider

publishes a variety of news ranging from items targeted at Millennials through social media to hard news aimed at investors, but it does not publish any print publications. It has expanded internationally in recent years by launching editions in the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The company also has plans to broaden its coverage through topic-oriented sites. Earlier this year, it launched Tech Insider, a technology news site. Business Insider also sells a subscription-based research and information service, known as BI Intelligence. In 2013, Business Insider — which has more than 325 employees, about half of whom are

journalists — generated about $20 million in revenue. But it grew 70% last year, tech news site Recode recently reported. With the acquisition of Business Insider, Axel Springer said its worldwide digital audience will grow by two-thirds to about 200 million users. And Business Insider plans to introduce later this year a German edition that will be operated by finanzen.net, an Axel Springer division. “We continue with our strategy to expand Axel Springer’s digital reach and, as previously announced, invest in digital journalism companies in Englishspeaking regions of the world,” Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, said in a statement.

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

The Federal Reserve didn’t pull the trigger on rate hikes this month, raising the stakes again for incoming data on employment. The Fed held rates steady Sept. 15, citing international economic uncertainty and market turbulence. But since then a host of Fed speakers, including Chair Janet Yellen, have reiterated that a rate hike still isl likely this year, and the odds will increase if U.S. data continues to come in strong, overcoming worries about foreign headwinds. The first test of whether the Fed will move in October or December comes this week, with a trio of key readings on the job market. Wednesday, payroll processor ADP releases its report on

But the key report comes Friday, when the government releases its September jobs report, with economists expecting the economy to generate 200,000 jobs. The Fed, says David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, “must ask themselves whether there is likely to be enough evidence of improvement in the conditions by the December meeting that caused us to pause in September.” Adds Joy: “There’s (also) the possibility that domestic considerations become so compelling that they can’t be ignored. The first test of this possibility will arrive Friday with the September jobs report.”

Make sure you read fine print to avoid costly fees

Q: Can a broker charge me if I leave? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Brokers keep two dirty little secrets. One is that most brokers pay next to nothing on cash sitting in your account. The other is they’ll charge you if you try to leave. Nearly all brokers charge some sort of fee to move your stocks or other investments to another firm. This Automated Customer Account Transfer, or ACAT, fee is what brokerages often charge their customers for moving stocks to another brokerage. It’s just one of the insidious fees some brokers hide in the fine print, and consumers don’t realize its there until after they face paying it. Most brokers charge around $50 to transfer your stocks to another brokerage, but some charge more. There are ways around this fee, but they’re not without a catch. You could sell the stock and simply transfer the cash to the new account. But that could trigger a taxable event, which might cost more than $50, if you have capital gains in the shares. A better option is that some brokers offer discounts or waivers on the ACAT fee if you don’t transfer the whole account. You can move a position at a time to avoid the hit. It’s best to keep the ACAT fee in mind when you create an account. If a brokerage charges a high ACAT fee, look elsewhere.

Investors seek hiding places in struggling stock market Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

It’s getting harder to avoid the market sell-off’s claws. But investors can still find places to hide. There are nine stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that aren’t just holding up as the market struggles, but pay investors well for their troubles. Each of these stocks are up this year, down less than 5% from their 52-week highs — and also pay dividend yields of 2.3% or higher, according to a USA TODAY analysis of

data from S&P Capital IQ. That dividend yield beats the 2% yield of the market. Finding a place to avoid the market’s rampage this year is getting increasingly tricky. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 8.5% this year after the index Tuesday stabilized following a 2.6% drop Monday. The S&P 500 is down 12% from its high — putting it in a painful correction that doesn’t show any signs of abating. The fact these stocks have held up so well is somewhat of a reallife stress test — as investors can see buying support as the rest of the market fades. Additionally,

LUCRATIVE OPTIONS S&P 500 stocks that are paying market-beating dividends and are up this year and down less than 5% from their highs: Dividend YTD % Company yield change Altria 4.14% 10.5% McDonald’s 3.54% 3.9% TECO Energy 3.42% 27.9% AGL Resources 3.37% 11.2% Reynolds American 3.32% 36.3% Public Storage 3.28% 12.6% Assurant 2.61% 12.7% Campbell Soup 2.46% 14.3% H&R Block 2.28% 5.5% SOURCES: S&P CAPITAL IQ, USA TODAY

these stocks offer above dividend yields, which make holding them less stressful. Altria continues to live up to its name as being the ultimate hiding place for investors. Shares of the tobacco maker are up 10.5% this year as investors appreciate earnings stability — and the stock is down just 4% from its 52-week high. The best part — the company pays a lucrative 4.1% dividend yield that’s double the yield on the market. McDonald’s has taken its lumps as the company attempts to refresh its image and management. The restaurant’s shares,

though, continue to be a winner for investors as the rest of the market struggles. Shares of the chain are up 3.9% and down just 4.4% from their 52-week high. Add a 3.5% dividend yield to the recipe, and investors are loving it. TECO energy shares are up 28% this year as the Floridabased utility is being bought by Canadian utility Emera. But investors get a welcome 3.4% dividend yield as they wait for the deal to close in the middle of next year. The market might be struggling. But you can still find a cozy little hiding place.

NEW YORK High-wire walking is just like riding a bike. Or so says Joseph GordonLevitt, who mastered the art form to play Philippe Petit in The Walk (in IMAX theaters Wednesday, nationwide Oct. 9), about the French daredevil’s audacious trek between the World Trade Center towers on Aug. 7, 1974. “When you’re first riding a bike, you don’t quite understand how this bike will ever stand up with only two wheels, but then eventually something clicks,” says Gordon-Levitt, 34. “It sort of feels like that on the wire. Once you get a sense of how the pole works, you’re just up there like, ‘Oh, yeah, I can balance on this.’ ” The Walk is a decade-long passion project of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, who heard of Petit’s feat after buying the children’s book The Man Who Walked Between the Towers for his daughter. Seven years after the Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire, the 3-D movie follows Petit from his start as a Parisian street performer to his move to New York, where he staged the coup. With

the help of accomplices, he sneaked into the twin towers and strung a tightrope more than 1,300 feet in the air, walking between them for 45 minutes until police urged him to step off. To prepare, Gordon-Levitt learned to do magic tricks, unicycle and adopt a French accent. The most daunting aspect, of course, was the wire walking, for which he trained one-on-one with the real Petit for a week at a converted warehouse in Upstate New York.

“You’d be surprised how scary it is 12 feet in the air. Your body still tenses all the way up.” Carrying a 45-pound balancing pole and wearing thin slippers, Gordon-Levitt started by walking across a 2-foot-high wire, before graduating to one 6 feet off the ground. Petit kept a “victory bell” for the actor to ring anytime he reached a milestone, whether that was keeping his balance for a period of time or successfully walking all the way across. “He would say, ‘See that! You made progress, ring the bell!’ ” Gordon-Levitt says. “He’s just

such an optimistic guy and positive thinker. He never focuses on, ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ or ‘I don’t know if I’m cut out for this’ — that’s not even part of the equation.” When it came time to shoot the film’s pivotal sequence in front of green screens, GordonLevitt was suspended 12 feet up with a safety harness. The harness didn’t help keep his balance, he says, but prevented him from seriously hurting himself if he fell (which he never did). “It’s not so high compared to what a high-wire walker would do, but you’d be surprised how scary it is 12 feet in the air,” Gordon-Levitt says. “Your body still tenses all the way up. The only thing that allowed me to get past that terror was just time spent with Philippe.” In turn, the agitation only made his performance that much more authentic, Zemeckis says. “You could kind of see how sincerely thrilled and proud he was that he was doing this feat. Even though he was doing the 12-foot version, it was a joy to watch.”

One week into the new season, the broadcast networks can count a few promising starts, and several clunkers. That’s pretty much the case each year, only this time the math is complicated by an even greater percentage of delayed viewership on DVRs and online, which stalls judgments on new series. NBC’s Blindspot is among the early freshmen standouts. The thriller has the benefit of the network’s best time slot, behind The Voice on Mondays. While the show averaged 10.6 million viewers last Monday, still below The Blacklist’s early performance in 2013, by Thursday that total had climbed to an impressive 15.2 million. CBS’ Life in Pieces, also in a protected Monday slot (behind The Big Bang Theory) was solid, though it had far less delayed viewing, while CBS movie sequel Limitless and ABC’s The Muppets, both on Tuesdays, also posted promising starts. Early-season turkeys included NBC’s Thursday drama The Player; Fox’s movie sequel Minority Report, which claimed just 3.1 million viewers Monday; and horror-comedy Scream Queens, which notched 4 million Tuesday. Though that figure had climbed to 7.3 million by Friday (including 1 million online streams) and was pronounced by Fox “a model for contemporary viewership,” it’s still a weak showing for the opener of a heavily promoted new series from producer Ryan Murphy, whose American Horror Story did

better on cable’s FX network. Other shows occupy a middle ground: ABC’s Quantico claimed 7.1 million viewers Sunday, which looks impressive only when compared with Revenge, which it replaced. And NBC’s Heroes Reborn averaged 6.1 million Thursday (climbing to 8.7 million by Sunday), matching the franchise’s last premiere in 2009. Some things don’t change: The top three shows among all viewers last week were NBC’s Sunday Night Football and CBS’ The Big Bang Theory and NCIS, just like last year, with Fox’s Empire close behind. Among young-adult viewers, NFL also remained tops, followed by Empire and Big Bang. Helped by a better Thursday Night Football matchup, CBS roughly is flat vs. last year, and has again won premiere week in total viewers, while NBC claimed the young-adult crown for the fourth consecutive year, also assisted by Sunday NFL games. NBC, ABC and Fox are down 10% to 20% from last fall’s premiere week and in early results have suffered among viewers ages 18 to 34.

are wild for Jerry Waugh

Driving a wooden peg into the ground, putting a dimpled golf ball on top of it, taking dead aim with a stick from 140 yards away and hitting it so precisely that it drops into a hole in the ground that measures 4.25 inches in diameter isn’t supposed to be as easy as Alvamar Country Club fixture Jerry Waugh makes it look. Then again, the man who played basketball at Kansas University for coach Phog Allen and earned the nickname “Sheriff of Sumner County,” makes a lot of things easier than they’re supposed to be. For example, turning 88. Waugh did so last Feb. 12. Honest Jerry shares a birthday with Abraham Lincoln and a short game with Phil Mickelson, minus the trick shots. A mental and physical genetic marvel, Waugh routinely beats his age on the golf course. You might have seen him inventing a practice range somewhere on the spare grounds at Alvamar. He was the guy carrying a white towel, stepping off a distance, dropping the towel onto the ground and then taking dead aim. The years have stolen his power, so he compensates by knowing precisely how far he hits each club in his bag. Surely, he must use an illegal ball because it only goes straight. Must be the equipment. My first thought upon hearing that Waugh carded his eighth hole-in-one last Thursday on No. 8 at Alvamar private at the age of 88 — octophobic he is not — was that he must have been a Yankees fan as a child. Why? Because his latest ace came two days after legendary Yankees catcher, Yogi Berra, No. 8, died at the age of 90. I figured Jerry set out to thank Yogi for the memories by acing No. 8 for his eighth career hole in one and fifth on that hole. If anybody could dial up an ace that easily, Waugh’s the guy. So I asked him Tuesday to name his favorite baseball team and sure enough it was the Yankees of Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra, Don Larsen and Whitey Ford. Since Waugh’s a man of his word, I believe him when he says that isn’t the case. Then again, maybe I don’t. On the braggart scale, Donald Trump stands at one end, Waugh the other. I’m proud to say I now have something in common with Waugh athletically in that we both have a connection to a specific number regarding aces. The No. 1 was all over my scorecard when I carded my ace on Aug. 11, 1997, a day in which I shot a 111. My number is 1, coach Waugh’s is 8, which is fitting since he’s eight times the golfer I could ever hope to be. — Tom Keegan can be seen on The Drive, Sunday nights on WIBW TV.

FREE STATE’S ALI DODD WATCHES THE BALL AS SHE MAKES A FOREHAND RETURN during her number one doubles match with Lawrence High Tuesday at FSHS. Ali and her sister Caitlin won, 8-2.

Firebirds take seven of nine matches By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior Rachel Walters has played in only two tennis meets with her doubles partner, junior Andrea Chen. It didn’t look that way on Tuesday. Walters and Chen won every game at No. 2 doubles, and Walters continued the dominance with a shutout win at No. 4 singles to help the Firebirds to a 7-2 victory in the City Showdown dual at FSHS. The dual victory raised the Firebirds all-time record against their crosstown rivals to 18-1. “Once we started winning, it was just like, ‘Well, let’s not lose any (games),’” Walters said after she combined for an 8-0 doubles win. “Me and Andrea just started off well. We just kept it going. We just communicated well.” Walters, who took 12th at state last season, said it was an “easy transition” to playing with Chen because they’ve practiced with each other over the past few seasons.

Chen added an 8-4 victory at No. 5 singles. “We both have good serves,” said Walters, who has a 4-1 record with Chen this season. “We both have good groundstrokes and everything. We’re just a good match together and we can communicate well.” FSHS senior Caitlin Dodd and her sister, sophomore Ali Dodd, combined for wins at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively. The two sisters also earned an 8-2 victory at No. 1 doubles against Lawrence’s Betsy Smoot and Natalie Cote. “I think we had our head in the right place in the beginning — really intense,” Smoot said. “I know I definitely lost my intensity throughout (the match). We’re all just preparing and focusing to get better for league and regionals and state because that’s when it really matters.” At No. 3 singles, Free State freshman Kate Piper wanted to get revenge for a loss against Lawrence in an early season quadrangular. She won in an 8-0 sweep. “I was real excited,” Piper

said. “I wasn’t really confident before because it was my first match against (LHS). But I was really confident (today).” Piper only started playing tennis last fall. She took lessons at the Jayhawk Tennis Center and participated in some camps, “I guess some people got it,” FSHS coach Keith Pipkin said of Piper. “I think she’s one that she just has a knack for the game. I think she tried some other sports and sometimes it just fits. Tennis seems to be her sport right now.” The Lions earned their only wins with a No. 3 doubles victory by Payton Smith and Erin Ventura and in No. 6 singles when Katie Long beat Free State’s Carter Stacey in a tiebreaker, 8-7 (2). LHS coach Chris Marshall is not a fan of the dual format — “I don’t know why we still play it, to be honest,” he said — because it’s not the format used for the postseason. “In the dual, we are out of our element,” Marshall said. “We’ve got four girls playing Please see TENNIS, page 2C

QB Cozart comfortable with game planning By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sniffling and congested but still smiling, as he always seems to be, Kansas University quarterback Montell Cozart met with the media on Tuesday to discuss the Jayhawks’ upcoming battle with Iowa State. First, though, there was that whole issue about last week’s showing at Rutgers in which Cozart played in relief but did not start because he was dealing with a 104-degree temperature the night before. The junior QB hit 10 of his first 11 passes, finished 13 of 18 through the air and threw for 193 yards while leading the Jayhawks on their only two touchdowns of the game. “I remember saying at the end of the game to Kent (Taylor) or Tre’ (Parmalee) or somebody, ‘I feel like I was the most relaxed I’ve ever been in a football game,’” Cozart said. “I guess the sickness (played a part) in that. I felt comfortable knowing exactly what Rutgers was doing on defense and everything was slowing down for me.” Because of that, Cozart’s comfort and poise allowed Kansas offensive coordinator Rob Likens to call his best game to date with his new quarterback. The first-year KU coordinator’s connection with Cozart has taken some time to build. The usual growing pains that come any time a new coach takes over certainly have shown up at Kansas, with things like terminology, likes and dislikes, a relationship off the field and comfort with the new offense all taking time to develop. But both coach and quarterback believe the bond is strengthening each week, with every rep in practice and each snap on game days, good and bad. “I saw some things in the game that really got my confidence up in making some calls for him,” said Likens before elaborating. “Just quickening up his read into his throw. His drops were good. He wasn’t just scanning the field. He knew exactly who to look at, exactly where he wanted to throw the ball off of that particular read off of the defender and that was good.” Cool, calm, confident and effective against Rutgers, Cozart showed the ability to master a limited number of tasks and never looked as if he was being asked to Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

matches that they’re not used to playing. I would take some of the blame here because we’re trying to figure out — because no one plays singles — who should be playing singles at the No. 1 and No. 2, and all that.” But the City Showdown dual has extra meaning for the Firebirds, especially with all of their success throughout the years. “They do take a lot of pride in this match,” Pipkin said. “They’ve been talking about it for a while, especially the seniors. I don’t think the freshmen quite know, but the seniors and juniors, yeah, they’re definitely talking about it.” Both schools will compete in the Sunflower League Meet at 8 a.m. Thursday at Harmon Park in Prairie Village.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — In the moments after a lopsided loss Monday night, Chiefs coach Andy Reid was in no mood to talk, brushing away a series of questions about the performance in Green Bay with the same answer. Or at least, a derivative of, “It’s my fault.” He was only slightly more forthcoming on Tuesday, when he’d had roughly 12 hours to digest what went wrong in a 3828 loss that was close in score only. The Chiefs trailed 31-7 at one point, and it took two late touchdowns just to get within two more possessions of victory. “I’ve got to do a better job, in particular with 10 days to get my team ready to play,” Reid said. “That didn’t take place. We had way too many mistakes. That starts with me.” Yes, that may have been the worst thing about the performance: The Chiefs had a long week to get ready for the Packers after playing on Thursday night. Most assumed the Chiefs would come out ornery after losing to AFC West rival Denver in stunning, embarrassing fashion — Jamaal Charles fumbled the ball away, and the Broncos’ recovery turned into a second touchdown in less than 10 seconds that gave them a dramatic last-minute victory. Instead, the Chiefs’ offense struggled to move the ball. Penalties killed drives and wiped away a potential turnover. Whenever their defense threatened to get a hand on Aaron Rodgers, the Packers quarterback deftly sidestepped the oncoming rush and found Randall Cobb or James Jones for a big gain as they picked on a defensive backfield depleted by injuries and suspension. The defeat left the Chiefs at 1-2, behind even Oakland in their division. And the road doesn’t get any easier with a trip to unbeaten Cincinnati on the docket Sunday. Reid expressed confidence that a team filled with veterans will be able to turn things around, but he also acknowledged that talk is cheap. After grueling offseason workouts, a tough training camp and two regular-season games, simple mistakes should not be happening. “I’m very confident in this group, but I think it’s important we take care of a few things,” Reid said. “We’ve all got to do a better job, that’s the bottom line. We can talk about it all we want to talk about it, but you’ve got to do it. That’s what is real. That’s why I’m not into talking about it. More into getting on with Cincinnati and get rolling.”

White Sox hand KC fourth loss in five Chicago (ap) — Scoring runs hasn’t come easy for the Kansas City Royals recently. Jeff Samardzija didn’t make it any easier Tuesday night. Eric Hosmer and Kendrys Morales hit back-toback homers and Johnny Cueto threw six quality innings, but the Royals lost to Samardzija and the Chicago White Sox 4-2. The Royals, who have lost four of their last five, fell behind 3-0 after Adam Eaton drove a two-run homer into the bullpen in right field off Cueto (1013) in the fifth inning. Cueto lost for the third time in his four September outings and gave up three runs and eight hits over six innings. He struck out two and walked two. Still a Royals offense that hadn’t scored in 17 innings during a three-game stretch that included Kansas City being shut out 1-0 in 11 innings by the Chicago Cubs on Monday night, didn’t do much to help Cueto — or the Royals. Tuesday’s loss dropped the AL Central champions to 10-17 in September. After beginning the month with a 6 1-2 game lead over Toronto for the best record in the AL, the Royals now trail the Blue Jays by 1 1-2 games with five games remaining in the regular season. Asked if he’s starting to

fight the urge to try and do something to snap out of it, Royals manager Ned Yost said, “Maybe a little bit, but we’re not quite there yet.” He added, “We’re fighting it a little bit.” Kansas City got within 3-2 in the sixth when Hosmer and Morales homered off Samardzija (11-13), who won for the second straight time after losing nine of his 10 previous outings. Coming off a completegame one hitter against Detroit on Sept. 21, Samardzija scattered eight hits over seven innings to pick up the win, striking out two. The consecutive homers — Kansas City’s first since July 25, 2014 — snapped Samardzija’s string of 14 scoreless innings. The solo homers didn’t rattle Samardzija. “That was the difference in the game,” Samardzija said. “You keep guys off the bases. If you pitch here in (U.S. Cellular Field) you’re going to give up some homers, man. The ball flies. As long as no one is on base and they’re solos, you can deal with it.” David Robertson pitched the ninth inning for Chicago, which added a run in the eighth on Alexei Ramirez’s RBI double, to earn his 33rd save in 40 opportunities.

The No. 8-rated player in the Class of 2017 has a list of KU, Arizona, California, Duke, Louisville, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, Utah, UCLA and others. He has visited Cal and Stanford unofficially and will visit Arizona and Utah in October. “I will probably wait until spring of my senior year,” Brown told Eric Bossi of Rivals.com, asked about when he’ll choose a school. “That’s just from right now and talking to coaches and stuff. I feel like it’s going to be a hard decision and I want to see where other players are going and make sure I’m picking the right fit. I’m still enjoying it. I’m like a kid in the candy store and this is a really fun experience for me.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Dodgers clinch NL West ————

Red Sox stop Yankees, win fifth straight Choo also had a two-run homer in the first. Hamels is 6-1 in 11 starts since getting traded from Philadelphia at the end of July, and the Rangers have won his last nine starts after losing the first two. The lefty surpassed 200 innings for the seventh time in his career and 200 strikeouts for the fourth time.

The Associated Press

National League Dodgers 8, Giants 0 San Francisco — Clayton Kershaw pitched the big-money Dodgers to their third straight NL West title, tossing a onehitter as Los Angeles beat San Francisco on Tuesday night. Kershaw allowed just a third-inning single and struck out 13, and the Dodgers (88-69) advance to face the NL East champion New York Mets in the best-of-five NL Division Series. Kershaw (16-7) finally got the best of his 2015 nemesis in their fourth matchup of the year, striking out the side in order three times and retiring the final 19 batters as the Dodgers snapped a four-game losing streak. Don Mattingly’s Dodgers earned a third straight playoff berth for the first time in franchise history, and did so by snapping a seven-game losing streak at AT&T Park this year. It’s also their sixth postseason berth in 10 years. Justin Ruggiano and A.J. Ellis hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth to chase World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner (189), denying the Giants their first 19-game winner in 18 years.

Braves 2, Nationals 1 Atlanta — A.J. Pierzynski hit two home runs and rookie Matt Wisler threw seven strong innings as Atlanta beat Washington for just its fourth win in 17 tries against the Nats. Wisler (7-8) picked up the victory, giving up one run while striking out four and walking two. Rookie Arodys Vizcaino recorded his eighth save in nine chances. With runners on first and second and no outs in the ninth, Ian Desmond bunted into a 2-54 double play. Vizcaino then struck out Matt den Dekker to end it. Tanner Roark (4-7), who rejoined the Nationals’ rotation in September, took the loss. He handled everyone in the Braves’ lineup except Pierzynski, who was 3 for 3, giving up just five hits and two runs in 62⁄3 innings.

BOSTON’S TRAVIS SHAW, CENTER, AND BROCK HOLT, RIGHT, greet Blake Swihart (23) after they scored on Swihart’s first-inning three-run home run. The Red Sox defeated the Yankees, 10-4, on Tuesday night in New York. Phillies 4, Mets 3 Philadelphia — Darin Ruf hit a three-run homer, Odubel Herrera had four hits, and Philadelphia beat the Mets to snap New York’s franchise-record 11-game road winning streak. Lucas Duda hit two homers for the NL East champion Mets, who hadn’t lost away from home since Sept. 6, at Miami. Duda hit a two-run shot off Ken Giles on an 0-2 pitch in the ninth before Giles retired Travis d’Arnaud for his 14th save in 18 chances. Bartolo Colon (14-13) allowed three runs and eight hits in five innings for his first loss to the Phillies since Aug. 30, 2014. He beat them four times this season. Adam Loewen (1-0) retired the only batter he faced in relief of starter David Buchanan to earn his first win since 2007 with Baltimore.

American League Red Sox 10, Yankees 4 New York — Michael Pineda was hit hard at the start, and New York’s playoff push was delayed once again by its longtime rival when Boston received two homers and five RBIs from rookie catcher Blake Swihart. Rick Porcello (9-14) recovered neatly from a rocky first inning, and the Red Sox won their season-best fifth straight game to pass the Orioles for third place in the AL East. New York is running second in the division and was spared the possibility of the Blue Jays clinching the crown when they were rained out in Baltimore. Toronto will play a doubleheader today against the Orioles and needs only one win — or another Yankees loss — to wrap up its first AL East title in 22 years. Pineda (12-9) and the Yankees began the day looking to lock up at least a wild card, but that chance was washed away when Minnesota was rained out in Cleveland. New York needs two wins in its final five games — or some help — to reach the postseason for the first time since 2012. Pineda was 3-0 with a 3.14 ERA in his previous five outings and had pitched very well against Boston since joining the Yankees. But he gave up hits to three of his first four batters as the Red Sox scored six runs in the first inning for the first time at Yankee Stadium. Brock Holt hustled for an RBI double and Swihart capped the outburst with a three-run homer to the short porch in right field. Pineda bent over at the waist and shook his head, just moments before Chris Martin started to get loose in the bullpen.

Interleague Rays 4, Marlins 2 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Asdrubal Cabrera hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Tampa Bay beat Miami.

Mom should accept daughter’s religious choices Dear Annie: I am a mother of two daughters in their 20s. Both have been emotionally, socially and financially supported by my husband and me throughout their lives. Both have advanced degrees and are now entering the work place. What should be a happy time in my life is just the opposite. The older one told us she does not believe in God and is seriously dating a man of a different faith. My husband and I feel the rejection of religion isn’t based on deep philosophical reasons, but rather is a convenient excuse to date whomever she chooses. We have sought counseling with our rabbi to help our daughter care more about her faith. But now my husband has drawn a line in the sand, saying if she mar-

ries outside the religion, he will have nothing to do with her. What’s a mother to do? — Torn Dear Torn: The Old Testament response is that if your daughter marries outside the faith, she is considered “dead” to you. But we doubt this is what you want, and if your husband’s ultimatum is an effort to get his daughter to return to the fold, he has to be prepared for a bad outcome. Please have a heartfelt talk with your daugh-

‘Code Black’ hides layers of backstory Like many overwrought dramas, “Code Black” (9 p.m., CBS) has an emphatic, slambang two-word title. But it takes three words to explain why anybody would want to watch it, and they are: Marcia Gay Harden. The Oscar-winning actress (“Pollock”) stars as Dr. Leanne Rorish, the tough and demanding residency director of what is described as either the world’s busiest or most notorious emergency room. Luis Guzman is the head nurse, the selfappointed “mother” of all who enter. These hospital triage centers are used to life-and-death cases arriving at a quick clip, but a “code black” indicates that the facility has become overwhelmed, if not overrun. In combat, this might mean “Battle stations” or “All hands on deck.” The hands here include four new first-year residents — Christa Lorenson (Bonnie Somerville), Malaya Pineda (Melanie Chandra), Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth) and Angus Leighton (Harry M. Ford), whose stories will unfold over the course of the season amid the heartache and carnage. Rorish has a tragic backstory of her own that is hinted at, but never explained in the pilot episode. But who has time for chitchat? The pacing here is frantic, and the tone swings between nail-biting tension and maudlin reflection. At one point, Rorish shouts out advice for doctors and residents performing three procedures simultaneously, while focusing on drilling a hole in her own patient’s skull. She’s one tough cookie. But what makes her tick? To find out, you’ll have to sit through more of this kaleidoscopic gore. O “E.O.

But I disagree that he should confess to his wife. If he’s been a trustworthy, faithful husband all these years, confessing this pre-marriage behavior may very well destroy the trust she’s had in him. — Appreciative Dear Appreciative: You could be right, but such secrets can be slowly destructive to a marriage. We think he should be able to confide in a loving partner, especially if talking to a counselor would bring criminal charges. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Crispy Beef Ramen Bowl

REAL-WORLD RAMEN

amen: the college student’s best friend. I actually went all the way through college not having once even tried ramen. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, as the idea sounded repulsive. Also, it hadn’t occurred to me at that point that I could probably dress up the 10-cent dinner into something more exciting or even just palatable. I had to be married with children before I tried ramen for the first time because my husband was convinced my kids would eat it — and he was right. I softened to the idea and began to see it cropping up all over in more and more interesting iterations. Ramen restaurants, ramen recipes, ramen aficionados dotted the landscape. I had to get on board. Now I keep ramen as a pantry staple and often use it as the basis for a refrigerator clean-out meal. A little leftover meat, a few veggies, some good broth, and we are in business.

Recently, I cooked a roast beef, and because my children eat about four bites of whatever I make, I had plenty left over. I love the idea of crispy stirfried beef, so it seemed like a great repurposing of my roast remnant. Start with a slow-cooker roast. Be sure to reserve the cooking liquid. This is key to a good broth in your bowl.

The Flying Fork

Crispy Beef Ramen Bowl

Directions Assuming you have your roast beef and cooking liquid done in advance, this is a fast recipe, though it does take a few cooking vessels. First, start boiling your eggs. I just put them in a saucepan with enough water to cover, put the lid on and bring it all to a boil. Once it boils, turn off the heat and let it stand for 2 or 3 minutes, depending on the level of softness you prefer. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over high heat and toss in the bok choy to stir fry. While you let those get brown on both sides, create your

Ingredients 2 cups roast beef, cut into strips 2 packs ramen 4 cups beef broth or cooking liquid from a braised roast beef 3 stalks bok choy, leaves removed and chopped into 1-inch pieces Handful of green onions, both white and green parts 3 tablespoons sesame oil 2 tablespoons soy sauce 4 soft-boiled eggs 1 clove garlic Cilantro for garnish

broth. Basically you are just going to add the garlic and soy sauce to your beef broth and simmer. Once the bok choy is finished frying, remove it and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to your VERY hot skillet and toss in the beef. Stir fry until it’s crispy on all sides. While the beef fries you should cook your ramen noodles. Just use the pan vacated by the eggs and bring water to a boil. Cook the noodles for about 3 minutes. If you time this carefully you will have everything done in under 10 minutes. Chop some onion and cilantro for garnish. Broth, noodles, one egg cut in half, some bok choy and onion/ cilantro garnish all in one bowl makes for a beautiful and rich bowl of ramen that bears absolutely no resemblance to the stuff with the chicken-flavored powder you ate in college. Serves 4. — Megan Stuke is a busy mom who often flies by the seat of her pants while trying to prepare nutritional and interesting meals for her family.

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

Healthier comfort foods for fall By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

Fall is the time of year when comfort food cravings really settle in. There are creamy and hearty soups and chowders, cheesy lasagnas and casseroles drenched in creamof-something soup. But that comfort often comes with a pretty hefty cost: lots of carbs and calories, fat and sodium. But it doesn’t have to be that way, nutrition and food experts say. There’s a way to indulge without overindulging and still satisfy those comfort food cravings. Registered dietitian Gail Posner of Healthy Ways Nutrition Counseling advises clients to head to the farmers market and stock up on what’s in season. There, “prices are low now and the flavor is high,” she says. The fresher the produce, the better the flavor. So says Mary Spencer, a cooking instructor at Taste: A Cook’s Place in Northville, Mich. Spencer recommends cooking with lots of herbs, spices and flavored oils. “When you add herbs at the beginning and the end of cooking, it brightens up the dish,” she says. “What you’re trying to do is eliminate the salt and some of the fat, but keep the flavor.” Here are some tips to keep in mind for a healthier spin on fall cooking from Posner, Spencer and Christa Byrd, a registered dietitian at Beaumont Health in Royal Oak, Mich.

Read labels A key component of shopping smart is reading labels and understanding what they mean. With sodium content, for example, there is a difference between “low sodium,” “reduced sodium” and “no salt added.” Use canned beans and vegetables like tomatoes (including tomato sauce and paste) that have labels stating “no salt added.” With many brands, the “no-salt-added” versions contain half the amount of sodium of their regular counterparts. Products labeled low sodium must have 140 milligrams of sodium per serving or less. Reduced sodium means the product has 25 percent less sodium than the original version. Byrd says watch out for products that state “low” on the label. “Low sugar is

usually higher in salt and low fat is higher in sugar,” she says.

Roast vegetables or double up on them Roasting is an easy way to add flavor to your veggies. (See recipe for Roasted Vegetable Lasagna.) “You can cut up vegetables, drizzle with some oil and roast,” Spencer says. “It’s nothing. There’s no recipe; it’s whatever you brought home from the farmers market,” she says. In most dishes includ- Roasted Vegetable Lasagna ing casseroles, Posner and Byrd say, increase the 5 tablespoons olive oil, amount of vegetables for more nutrition in every divided 3 teaspoons dried oregabite.

To begin layering the lasagna, place about 1/3 cup of the tomato sauce in the baking dish, spreading to cover the bottom of the dish. Top with 3 noodles, half the ricotta cheese mixture, half the roasted vegetable mixture and onequarter of the tomato sauce. Begin again with 3 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, remaining roasted vegetables and remaining 3 noodles. Top noodles with remaining tomato sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake lasagna uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes or until edges are bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown.

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese Makes: 6 servings / Preparation time: 40 minutes / Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients 12 to 16 ounces dried rigatoni 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks (3 1/2 cups) 2 3/4 cups 1 percent milk, divided

Directions Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly butter a 3-quart au gratin or baking dish; set aside. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan combine the squash and 21/2 cups of the milk over medium-high heat. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork, 18 to 20 minutes. Stir together remaining 1/4 cup milk and flour; stir into squash mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 11/2 cups of the Gouda until melted; keep warm. Meanwhile, in a very large skillet cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble; set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Return skillet to the heat. Add onions to skillet; cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and increase heat to high. Cook 4 to 6 minutes more, stirring, until onions are golden. Add squash-cheese mixture, onions and bacon to the bowl with the pasta. Toss well to combine, then transfer to prepared baking dish. Place bread in a food processor and pulse with two or three on/off turns to form large coarse crumbs (you should have about 2 cups). Transfer to a small bowl; mix with melted butter. Sprinkle remaining Gouda and the bread crumbs over pasta mixture. Bake until top is browned, about 14 to 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
