Teams representing Kosovo, in blue, and the Netherlands, in white, played hard Saturday in the first round of the Red Bull Reign World Finals.

Red Bull also put on a U.S.-only women’s finals competition, its first. The Maryland Jewels, representing the Washington metro area, beat out Atlanta, Philadelphia and New York.

More than 2,500 athletes — men and women — took part.

“Oh, it’s exciting for us,” said Fikret Shatri, a player on Kosovo’s team. At 6-foot-5 and 44 years old, Shatri said he was playing out a dream. Not only did he make it to the finals, he was visiting the United States for the

“So I had to be here to cheer for him, and for Taiwan, of course,” Ou said. She said she loved the way the tournament brought together such a diverse group.

The three-on-three tournament showcased the sort of pickup game that can be found almost anywhere there’s a hoop, while the various nationalities showcased different styles of play. For example, the Russian team tended to stake out a perimeter of giants around the basket, while the Canadian team ran a pass-and-maneuver attack.

THE DISTRICT They packed a gym in Southeast Washington, dozens of basketball players from all over the planet who brought with them the spirit of pro ballers even if their skills and their game were a miniature version of the NBA’s.

It was three-on-three hoops Saturday in an international tournament at the Barry Farm Recreation Center: two halfcourt games at a time, and eight minutes a game or 21 points, whichever came first.

The finals brackets read like the Olympics: 14 nations, including Canada, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, South Africa, Russia and the United States, to name a few.

A U.S. team from Minnesota walked away the winners with an $8,000 prize.

For the second consecutive year, the District hosted the Red Bull Reign World Finals in a Southeast neighborhood whose courts and summer league are renowned for street-ball legends and dreamers, college standouts and even the occasional Wizard.

‘You can’t mistreat us’: Volunteers push back Some unpaid helpers on C&O Canal trail feel slighted by Park Service REGION Volunteers who have donated thousands of hours of their time to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park have been walking off the job in response to what they describe as a hostile and unsafe work environment that the National Park Service has done little to fix.

The 184.5-mile park that runs along the Potomac River from Georgetown to Cumberland, Md., has one of the largest volunteer programs in the national park system, with more than 3,400 people clocking nearly 65,000 hours of service last year.

As the agency’s budget has shrunk and staff positions remain unfilled, volunteers and the Park Service said it has become increasingly necessary to rely on a robust network of volunteers to perform tasks like trail upkeep and running certain programs.

But in recent months, those programs have lost key leaders and participants because of tension between the park and some of its most active volunteers.

These departures have hurt programs and made the park less safe for visitors, several volunteers said.

“If we run into a difficult

rescue or run into an issue out on the trail, a lot of people are really concerned about being out there and getting no help from the park,” said Kevin Murphy, who has volunteered with the Billy Goat Trail Steward program for five years.

An internal study conducted earlier this year that surveyed about 100 volunteers and employees is expected to make recommendations for reforming volunteer programs and addressing management issues. The report will probably be finalized by next month, said Einar Olsen, the park service’s assistant regional director for inspections and evaluations.

But volunteers have heard little about its expected delivery date.

A Billy Goat Trail steward assists visitors. Volunteers provide key services in the national park.

For several current and former volunteers, it has felt like the latest in a series of slights.

More than a half-dozen volunteers recalled being demeaned or belittled by park staff.

One volunteer, who had been on the trail picking up bags of dog droppings, was mocked by staff as he returned to the trailhead, volunteers said. After that, they said, several rangers called volunteers “the poop patrol” and “garbage collectors.”

“You can’t mistreat us,” volunteer Ric Jackson said. “You can’t treat us like children. ...

local Council appears poised to reverse voter-passed wage hike for servers D.C. COUNCIL The fate of a wage hike approved by voters for servers, bartenders and other tipped workers in the nation’s capital comes before the D.C. Council today.

A majority of the council wants to repeal the measure, which was passed by 56 percent of voters in June. About 250 witnesses have signed up to testify at the hearing.

Businesses are required to pay tipped workers at least $3.89 per hour under current law, as long as gratuities are enough to reach the minimum wage; if they fall short, employers are supposed to make up the difference. Initiative 77 requires employers to gradually increase hourly pay until all workers are earning the standard minimum wage by 2026. In the District, the standard minimum wage will be $15 by 2020 and automatically increase with inflation.

Restaurant owners and some workers have argued that

increased labor costs would devastate the city’s dining scene.

Progressive activists and others say the two-tiered pay system means some hourly workers are earning less than minimum wage, that voters decided the matter in June and that the council should not overturn the will of the voters. But even supporters of the measure acknowledge that the odds are against them.

The council is not expected to act at today’s hearing, which starts at 11 a.m. and is likely to stretch into the evening.

Kavanaugh letter writer details attack allegation

LUXURY BRANDS

Henri Bendel to close after 123-year run

SUPREME COURT Earlier this summer, Christine Blasey Ford wrote a confidential letter to a senior Democratic lawmaker alleging that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago, when they were high school students in Maryland. Since Wednesday, she watched as that bare-bones version of her story became public without her name or her consent, drawing a blanket denial from Kavanaugh and roiling a nomination that just days ago seemed all but certain to succeed.

Now, Ford has decided that if her story is going to be told, she wants to be the one to tell it.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Ford said that one summer in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” Ford alleges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.

While his friend watched, she said, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her onepiece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it. When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth.

Nominee denies claim he sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s

A woman claims Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her in the early 1980s when both were in high school.

“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in Northern California.

Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them, sending all three tumbling. She said she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house.

On Sunday, the White House sent The Washington Post a statement Kavanaugh issued last week, when the outlines of Ford’s account first became public: “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation.”

Senate Republicans rushed

to the defense of Kavanaugh on Sunday, signaling that they planned to move ahead and try to confirm the nominee by the end of the month.

The spokesman for the Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, Taylor Foy, said it was “disturbing that these uncorroborated allegations from more than 35 years ago, during high school, would surface on the eve of a committee vote after Democrats sat on them since July.”

Senate Minority L eader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said: “For too long, when women have made serious allegations of abuse, they have been ignored. That cannot happen in this case.”

Henri Bendel, which opened in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1895, is closing after the holiday season, parent company L Brands Inc. said Friday. The luxury retailer’s flagship store on New York’s Fifth Avenue, steps from Trump Tower, has long been a Manhattan landmark.

Founder Henry Bendel was a women’s hat maker from Lafayette, La., who moved to New York and began catering to the city’s elite; the stores’ brown and white striped shopping bags and hat boxes became a status symbol. L Brands said it wants to focus on its other brands, including Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works. (AP)

A taxi is abandoned in floodwaters in Hong Kong on Sunday during Typhoon Mangkhut.

Typhoon pounds China after lashing Philippines Storm kills at least 64, mostly from landslides and collapsed houses ASIA Typhoon Mangkhut barreled into southern China on Sunday, killing two people after lashing the Philippines with strong winds and heavy rain that left at least 64 dead and dozens more feared buried in a landslide.

More than 2.4 million people had been evacuated in southern China’s Guangdong province by Sunday evening to flee the massive typhoon and nearly 50,000 fishing boats were called back to port, state media reported. It threatened to be the strongest typhoon to hit Hong Kong since Typhoon York in 1999.

“Prepare for the worst,” Hong Kong Security Minister John Lee Ka-chiu urged residents.

That warning came after Mangkhut’s devastating march through the northern Philippines, where the storm made landfall Saturday on Luzon island with sustained winds of 127 mph.

Rescuers retrieve a body trapped in a mudslide Sunday in the northern Philippine mountain province of Benguet, where dozens were killed.

landslides in two villages in Itogon town in the northern Philippine mountain province of Benguet.

It o g o n M ayo r V ic t o r i o Palangdan told The Associated Press by phone that at the height of the typhoon’s onslaught Saturday afternoon, dozens of people, mostly miners and their families, rushed into an old three-story building in the village of Ucab.

The building — a former mining bunkhouse that had been transformed into a chapel — was obliterated when part of a mountain slope collapsed. Three villagers who managed to escape

told authorities what happened.

“They thought they were really safe there,” the mayor said.

He expressed sadness that the villagers, many of them poor, had few options to survive in a region where big corporations have profited from gold mines.

Overall, at least 64 people have died in typhoon-related incidents in the northern Philippines, mostly from landslides and collapsed houses, according to the national police. Forty-five other people were missing and 33 were injured in the storm. VINCENT YU AND JIM GOMEZ (AP)

‘The risk to life is rising’ Death toll climbs to 17 as Carolina residents fear historic flooding from crawling Florence

WEATHER Catastrophic flooding from Florence spread across North Carolina on Sunday, with roads to Wilmington cut off by the epic deluge and muddy river water swamping entire neighborhoods miles inland.

“The risk to life is rising with the angry waters,” Gov. Roy Cooper declared as the storm’s death toll climbed to 17, including six in South Carolina and at least 11 in North Carolina.

The storm continued to crawl westward, dumping more than 30 inches of rain in spots since Friday, and fears of historic flooding grew. Tens of thousands were ordered evacuated from communities along the state’s steadily rising rivers — with the Cape Fear, Little River, Lumber, Waccamaw and Pee Dee rivers all projected to burst their banks.

In Wilmington, with roads leading in and out of the city underwater and streams still swelling upward, residents waited for hours outside stores and restaurants for basic necessities like water.

Woody White, chairman of the board of commissioners of New Hanover County, said officials were planning for food and water to be flown into the coastal city of nearly 120,000 people.

“Our roads are flooded,” he said. “There is no access to Wilmington.”

About 70 miles away from the coast, residents near the Lumber River stepped from their homes directly into boats floating in their front yards.

Downgraded overnight to a tropical depression, Florence was still massive. Radar showed parts of the sprawling storm over

six states, with North and South Carolina in the bull’s-eye.

Fears of what could be the worst flooding in the state’s history led officials to order tens of thousands to evacuate, though it wasn’t clear how many had fled or even could. Brock Long, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said officials were focused on finding

people and rescuing them.

“We’ll get through this. It’ll be ugly, but we’ll get through it,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Stream gauges across the region showed water levels rising steadily, with forecasts calling for rivers to crest Sunday and today at or near record levels.

Rainfall totals were stunning.

As rivers swelled in North Carolina, state regulators and environmental groups were monitoring the threat from gigantic hog and poultry farms located in low-lying, flood-prone areas. The industrial-scale farms contain vast pits of animal feces and urine that can pose a significant pollution threat if they are breached or inundated by floodwaters. In past hurricanes, flooding at dozens of farms also left hundreds of thousands of dead hogs, chickens and other decomposing livestock bobbing in floodwaters. (AP)

of rain had fallen by Sunday afternoon, and 20 other places in North Carolina had at least 20 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

POLITICS Embattled FEMA Administrator William “Brock” Long said Sunday that the figures for how many people died as a result of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year are “all over the place,” in remarks that echoed President Trump’s efforts to cast doubt on a George Washington University study that found there were nearly 3,000 excess deaths on the island in the months after the storm.

“It’s hard to tell what’s accurate and what’s not,” Long said in an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.” Puerto Rican authorities have accepted the results of the GWU study.

Long also did not dispute Trump’s incorrect claim that Democrats raised the death toll to make the president “look as bad as possible,” telling NBC’s Chuck Todd, “I don’t know why the studies were done.”

Democrats as well as some Republicans last week criticized Trump for appearing to minimize the death toll, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he has “no reason to dispute” the figure.

Meanwhile, questions swirled around Long after reports that he is under investigation for his use of government vehicles to travel between Washington and his home in Hickory, N.C. Long on Sunday acknowledged he is being investigated but denied that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has asked for his resignation. FELICIA SONMEZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Emerging Technology Helps Universities Offer Flexible Options to Millennials mprovements in virtual meeting and online technology are enabling universities to provide more choices for students—in many cases offering programs that combine in-person and virtual classes. These hybrid programs are especially appealing for Millennials seeking a balance among work, family and higher education.

“As technology has evolved, so has our capacity,” said Jerry Burgess, program director for the Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy at Johns Hopkins University.

Universities also are scheduling both weeknight and weekend classes, offering week-long intensive classes at semester breaks, revising policies to reƃect that these students are established adults, allowing students to be virtually present, and taking full advantage of evolving technology to make it all possible.

“Hybrid programs—that’s what the Millennials are asking for,” said Prashant Malaviya, senior associate dean for MBA programs at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. “They are reluctant to put their careers on hold or put their families on hold to go back to graduate education.

They have a greater inclination to avoid compromises and they have a strong devotion to a much more purposeful life and a more purposeful career.”

In some programs, students alternate in-person class attendance with virtual presence via Zoom, Go To Meeting, Blackboard, video lectures, synchronous and asynchronous discussion forums and other emerging technology.

Master of Arts in Global Policy from Johns Hopkins SAIS Prepares Students to Look Deeply at Policy Issues People looking to advance within international policy-making gain valuable knowledge, experience and connections with the Master of Arts in Global Policy from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

Students appreciate the opportunity to look at an issue such as climate change or refugees and consider the impact beyond their own employer, said Daniel S. Markey, Academic Director, Master of Arts in Global Policy at Johns Hopkins SAIS. The 16-month program for working professionals meets every other Friday and Saturday, and is now in its fourth year. Students bring an average of 10 years of work experience to the classroom and represent the public, private, multilateral and nonprofit sectors.

Four residencies, including one held outside the United States, are a key component of the program.

“Students have the opportunity to do a deep dive into a policy issue,” he said. This year, students will spend the fall term on projects relating to their upcoming residency in Morocco.

Another important component is the strong network students form.

“They graduate knowing 25 plus classmates as colleagues they can trust and as friends,” Markey said.

“In this town, that’s very important.”

“Hybrid programs—that’s what the Millennials are asking for. They are reluctant to put their careers on hold or put their families on hold to go back to graduate education. They have a greater inclination to avoid compromises and they have a strong devotion to a much more purposeful life and a more purposeful career.”

display shows all the students who are virtually present, said Mohan Venkatachalam, senior associate dean, executive programs. Students who are digitally present are as energized and engaged as the students who are physically present, Venkatachalam said.

Another university employee acts as a co-pilot to monitor the technology. For example, a student who is digitally present can push a button to ask a question. The co-pilot raises his hand, says ‘Jim has a question,’ and a second computer screen projects the dialogue between Jim and the professor,

Venkatachalam said.

The Master of Science in Environmental Science and Policy program was one of the Ƃrst at Johns Hopkins to offer an online component, Burgess said. Over the years, technology has allowed universities to improve and strengthen virtual classrooms, he said.

“In online courses 15 years ago, you logged into a course, read the material and responded appropriately,” Burgess said.

“Now the technology allows for so much more interaction, either synchronously or asynchronously.

One of the most useful and interactive is Voice Thread. Voice

Thread allows students to make presentations, live or not live.

They can record a response, add graphics, edit text, and add photographs. I love how technology is helping create a real sense of community.”

Ninety percent of the Environmental Sciences and Policy program can be completed online, Burgess said. Students do take a one-week residency course in the Ƃeld with local, national and global options including Conservation in Glacier National Park, Sustainability in Cuba and Evolution in the Galapagos Islands, he said.

Some courses feature blended or hybrid learning, with three or four in-person sessions and the rest online, Burgess said. About 70 percent of students in the program are primarily online. As another option, compressed, in-person courses meet three times a week during intercession, he said.

Some of this new ƃexibility at business schools reƃects the reality that graduate students are more mature than the undergraduates who share

university campuses.

“MBA students are adults, average age 26 to 30,” Malaviya said. “When we examined our policies, it became apparent that many were developed for undergraduate programs and had essentially been extended to graduate students. We have changed this and will now be letting adults be adults, and allowing them to make choices about how they want to customize their professional education.”

At Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, the newly branded Flex MBA program ofƂcially launches in the fall of 2019 but many changes are already in place for the 2018-2019 school year, Malaviya said.

“Recently a student who works for a consulting Ƃrm in the D.%. area was assigned a client based in Minnesota and was required to travel three to four days a week to the client,” Malaviya said. “For him to attend classes on campus two to three days a week was impossible. He would have liked to

attend remotely, at least once or twice a week. Starting fall 2018, we can better offer options to accommodate students like him.”

6hat ƃexibility beneƂts both students and universities. Students can easily attend the university best suited for them, even if it’s a grueling drive or even an airline ƃight away, and yet still develop deep relationships with a cohort of fellow students.

“For a long time, our weekend MBA program predominantly has been a residency model where students come to us every other weekend,” Venkatachalam said. “In the new model, students come here only once a month. It allows people to consider the program even if they live far away from Durham. We’re seeing encouraging results. The proportion of people that come from outside the 100- to 200-mile radius has increased tremendously from last year to this year.”

Other changes at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business include

MONDAY | 09.17.2018 | EXPRESS | T5

the addition of Saturday classes for electives and relaxing strict minimum and maximum class load requirements to give students ƃexibility to increase or decrease their class load while still maintaining the highly regarded cohort style for core classes, Malaviya said.

“We are retaining what has historically worked in our program and are using technology to improve learning outcomes and opening the doors to create a program that is ƃexible and customizable to Ƃt with the needs of Millennial students,” he said.

There are limits to that ƃexibility, especially when virtual students are on camera--being digitally based doesn’t mean freedom to wear pajamas to class.

“We require them to be very professional,” Venkatachalam said. “We want to make sure even people in the digital space take it very seriously.

They have the same experience, except they don’t have to travel and don’t have to take time away from their families.”r

The Multitude of Popular Options for Health-Related Graduate Degrees

Patrick Lee Patrick Lee was working in accounting and considering earning an MBA when he realized he wanted a different career path.

After earning the professional master’s degree in economics from the University of Maryland, he’s working at a job that closely aligns with his interests.

“My first jobs were in investment finance, budget analysis and supply chain analysis,” Lee said.

“Traditionally after a few years, you would earn an MBA to move up the corporate ladder. But I didn’t think an MBA was in line with my real interests.”

“I’ve always been fascinated by the science of economics,” Lee continued. “As an undergraduate, you learn about supply and demand but they don’t tell you how to break it down to the underlying calculus and mathematics. The University of Maryland has a very strong master’s degree program when it comes to teaching the fundamentals of data analytics and foundation.”

He completed the degree in 15 months while still working fulltime.

“Nine months into the program, I got a job at Resources for the Future, a think tank that works on environmental issues,” Lee said.

“My boss said ‘If you didn’t have this degree and these skills, we probably wouldn’t have looked at your resume.’”

“That connectivity, being able to understand the needs of people within a health setting, is still important.”

remains competitive.”

Some medical-school bound students who take a detour into public health or health administration realize that they prefer that role, Harris said.

As for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, these professionals are becoming more critical to provide care to aging and rural populations, Harris said. “This is a less expensive option for

private ofƂces to extend care without the cost of having to hire more physicians,” he said.

Speaking of cost, the cost of the degrees to become a nurse practitioner or physician assistant is much lower too.

“You can accumulate $150,000 in debt pursuing an M.D. or D.M.D.,” Harris said. “Some students want graduate degrees that take two to four years and then they can get into the Ƃeld.” r

Advance your career in the data sciences.

Health-related graduate degrees continue to be popular, sometimes as a stepping stone later to an M.D. For some with medical careers, the graduate degree doesn’t require long years of education.

“There’s always that interest in our traditional M.D.,” said Kevin Harris, associate vice president for academic health sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dentistry also is starting to top the charts. “But we’ve also seen a lot of interest in Ƃelds such as health administration, public health, physical therapy and occupational therapy.”

Other programs with growing interest include those for nurse practitioners and physician assistants, as well as the master of science in pharmacology, Harris said.

In some cases, students with an eye on

medical school choose to earn a master’s degree Ƃrst to remain in the Ƃeld and become more desirable candidates for highly competitive medical school slots, he said.

“They earn a related degree that keeps them connected in the Ƃeld, keeps them contributing in healthcare and keeps them still relevant in a practice setting,” Harris said. “That connectivity, being able to understand the needs of people within a health setting, is still important.

The Appeal of Specialized Business Degrees ncreasingly, people seeking to gain an edge in their careers are earning specialized master’s degrees instead of, or perhaps before, earning MBAs. Compared to an MBA, these niche business master’s degrees — in areas such as economics, law, cybersecurity, global Ƃnance and global policy — can provide a deep dive into relevant issues, offer a more global policy-based look at Ƃnancial issues, take less time to complete and yield a quicker return on investment.

Enrollment in such specialized programs rose nearly 30 percent, from the 2011-2012 school year to 2016-2017, compared to a much more modest three percent growth in MBA programs, according to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Many students, especially those looking to work in domestic and global public Ƃnancial policy and analysis, want an education with a different scope compared to a traditional MBA. Instead of looking at how to build one company’s bottom line, these students want to analyze Ƃnancial implications globally, across different sectors or among a variety of stakeholders.

Other students opt to earn a specialized business degree directly after their undergrad degree to get a leg up on their peers with bachelors’ degrees. The mean age of students taking the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) to determine readiness for a management business program has decreased, from 26.7 in 2013 to 26.3 in 2017 in the United States, according to research by the Graduate Management Admission Council. The average of those in the United States taking the test for a non-MBA master’s degree

I Online Master of Information Technology at Virginia Tech Provides Expertise, Leverage to Advance Parviz Ghandforoush, associate dean and managing director, Master of Information Technology program at Virginia Tech Students in the Master of Information Technology program at Virginia Tech are often looking to move up from analyst or mid-level positions into leadership roles at their employers, said Parviz Ghandforoush, associate dean and managing director of the program.

Not surprisingly for information technology, the program is fully online. Most students are employed, take classes part-time, and finish the 33-credit degree in two years to two-and-a-half years.

The most popular specialties are cybersecurity, software development, machine learning and data analytics, Ghandforoush said. In 19 years, the program has grown from a handful of students to more than 700.

“The need is great globally,” he said.

“In the United States alone, there are thousands and thousands of vacant jobs in cybersecurity.”

IT jobs are available in a variety of sectors including banking, social media companies, healthcare companies, and government agencies. Graduates see a bump in pay ranging from 30 percent to 75 percent, Ghandforoush said.

“The largest majority of students would like to get recognized within their own organizations where they can use their knowledge and work experience to better their companies,” he said.

in business was 24.2.

That reƃects the growing school of thought that a master’s degree is the new bachelor’s degree. One-third of employers are hiring more workers with masters’ degrees for positions that had been primarily held by people with four-year degrees, according to a survey by CareerBuilder.

“That’s not necessarily a bad strategy—complete your undergraduate degree, get a master’s degree in marketing or accounting or business analytics, get a few years of work experience and then make the quantum leap and get an MBA,” said Greg Beaver, director of the Professional Masters Program at Purdue University.

“Business analytics is the most sought after,” Beaver said. “Look at companies like Google, Amazon, Walmart—

they have immense amounts of data and they’re trying to mine it and Ƃgure out what to do, how to monetize that data.”

Johns Hopkins University Master of International Economics and Finance The Master of International Economics and Finance at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) enables students to look at economic issues from a global, policy perspective, said Sidney Jackson, assistant dean of global enrollment and

recruitment at Johns Hopkins University SAIS. “Students are very savvy and are looking for a degree that is going to be more focused,” Jackson said. “They are looking for specialized skills because they know the roles they want within certain industries.

Customized programs like ours prepares them for those roles.”

Students study a number of topics; economic policy analysis, Ƃnancial modeling, risk planning and analysis, and economic forecasting, Jackson said.

The 11-month, cohort-based,

accelerated program includes 14 courses – three quantitative methods courses, three economics electives, skills workshops -- and a capstone project. Most students enroll after completing their undergraduate degree, Jackson said.

Graduates go on to serve in roles in central banks, consulting, Ƃnance ministries, Ƃnancial services, investment banking, and think tanks including the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the World Bank, Deloitte, Citibank, the Bank of Japan, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, he said.

University of Maryland Professional Master’s Degree in Economics “In MBA programs, people are trained in how to make decisions that increase the bottom line for their employer,” said John Straub, executive director of the University of Maryland’s Professional Master’s Degree in Economics.

“If they’re good at that, their employer will pay them well.”

In contrast, students of applied economics are looking beyond a single company to broader impacts of public policy, Straub said. “Understanding how to increase the bottom line of a single company is certainly part of what we think about in our applied economics master’s degree program,” he said.

“We’re focused on a bigger

picture than just one company.

If you enact some public policy: Who wins? Who loses? Is it efƂcient or inefƂcient?”

Graduates of the program work in public policy for international organizations, federal government agencies and federal contractors and consultants, he said. For example, at the Congressional Budget 1fƂce, they would analyze the Ƃnancial impact or proposed legislation to various stakeholders, Straub said.

“Economists are trained to think about data and analyze data in particular ways,” Straub said. “Data management and applied econometric skills are highly valued by employers in both the public and private sectors. Increasingly, our students are being recruited by employers who usually hire MBAs. They still hire mostly MBAs but are starting to hire a few applied economists. They like to get a few people who have a different perspective and more quantitative training.”

The program includes 10 courses and about half of students Ƃnish in 1 months, he said. Top graduates earn $85,000 to $110,000 immediately after completing the program, he said.

The Master of Science Law (MSL) degree offers specializations in healthcare law, environmental law and patent law on campus and online MSL degrees with specializations in cybersecurity law and homeland security/ crisis management law. p+f you want to be a Ć&#x201A;nancier, an MBA is still the way to go.

But you better learn about cybersecurity law because the possibility that your Ć&#x201A;nancial systems will be threatened by hackers, or actually hacked, are high,â&#x20AC;? Bahamonde-GonzĂĄlez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are wanting and needing to know about these speciĆ&#x201A;c areas and the policies and laws governing these areas.â&#x20AC;?

For example, cybersecurity is important not just from a technical standpoint in making the mainframe computers as secure as possible, but also from a business standpoint to understand the potential negligence, liability and

vulnerability that would result from the business being hacked, Bahamonde-GonzĂĄlez said.

Business leaders must gain the knowledge and understanding of the laws, policies and regulations that govern their business operations. This is especially true in the areas of health care, cybersecurity, the environment, patents and homeland security. The MSL degree from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law provides working professionals, business executives, subject matter consultants and others, the skills and knowledge necessary to develop a competitive edge.

Flex MBA at Georgetown McDonough Offers Options for Working Professionals To help students balance families, careers and their education, Georgetown Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McDonough School of Business has launched Flex MBA, the next evolution of its highly ranked Evening MBA. The program adds flexibility in duration and elective format while keeping the cohort experience and other valuable components like its Global Business Experience.

The Flex MBA will offer several electives in a hybrid format, with both on-campus and virtual class sessions. These courses provide a way for students who travel for work, have a long commute, or have other obligations to participate in their classes.

Scheduling also is more flexible, with select electives on Saturdays.

Students also now have more opportunities to take the signature Intensive Learning Experience courses during semester breaks.

While the traditional timeline for the program is three years, it now can be completed in as little as 28 months or as long as ďŹ ve years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By adding flexibility to our MBA format while retaining our close-knit cohort community, high quality education and signature learning experiences, we ensure that our students cocreate the program that is the right fit for them,â&#x20AC;? said Prashant Malaviya, senior associate dean for MBA programs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be a financier, an MBA is still the way to go. But you better learn about cybersecurity law because the possibility that your financial systems will be threatened by hackers, or actually hacked, are high.â&#x20AC;?

JosĂŠ Bahamonde-GonzĂĄlez, associate dean of the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law program at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.â&#x20AC;&#x153;The template of an MBA is too narrow for them and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much of a cookie cutter approach. Our students are looking for something more interdisciplinary, something that can bridge the publicprivate divide and allow for careers in both the public and the private sector. They might be looking for something that is more international.â&#x20AC;?

The Schar Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in International Commerce and Policy program weaves

together international business, economics and public policy, Reinert said. The program includes three concentrations: one in global Ć&#x201A;nance, investment and trade; another one in global development and governance; and one on global risk and strategy, he said.

The program also includes an optional weeklong study abroad component. In the past, students have traveled to the University of Oxford, as well as to Mexico, China and South Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of our students are

already working in the Ć&#x201A;eld,â&#x20AC;?

Reinert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some want to move up in their organization.

Others want to make a signiĆ&#x201A;cant pivot in their career path. We have had students who are retired military, in the U.S. Department of Commerce, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

The program has helped a lot of students Ć&#x201A;nd a new career path and given them a way of thinking about the world that is theoretically grounded but also very practical.â&#x20AC;?r

eople who want to advance in their companies may not need to earn a master’s degree— in some cases a graduate level certiƂcate shows their eZpertise in a particular Ƃeld “We’re developing more online certiƂcates on an annual basis,” said Parviz Ghandforoush, associate dean and managing director of the Master of Information Technology program at Virginia Tech. “Demand is increasing because oftentimes organizations do not just want a vanilla degree where your concentration was not welldeƂned. %ompanies are very particular about saying, ‘We’re hiring in software engineering.

of eZcellence and speciƂc expertise.’”

In the online MIT program, 12 credits are required to earn a certiƂcate, Ghandforoush said. “By the time students get through the studies for four courses, that counts quite a bit,” he said. “Companies look at the details of each certiƂcate and recognize employees not only with a raise but often with a promotion.”

The MIT program currently offers graduate certiƂcates in health information technology, business analytics and data mining, database management, information technology management, software development, and information security and analytics, he said.

Some students who earn MIT certiƂcates decide to complete the master’s degree, Ghandforoush said. “They’ve already taken four courses and can take an additional seven and also get the master’s degree,” he said. “It’s a smart investment.”

Some students who are planning to complete the master’s degree decide to Ƃrst earn the relevant certiƂcate, achieve that recognition and then continue completing the master’s degree, he said. “That gets them in the marketplace faster,” he said. r

What does Manafort know?

POLITICS As Trump associates folded one by one over the last year under the pressure of federal investigators, there was always Paul Manafort.

Until suddenly there wasn’t.

Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, who for months stood resolute in his innocence and determined to fight charge upon charge even as fellow onetime loyalists caved, reached an extraordinary plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller’s office on Friday that requires him to assist in the Russia investigation and converts him into a potentially vital government cooperator.

The deal, struck in Washington just days before Manafort was to have faced a second trial, is tied to Ukrainian political consulting work and unrelated to the Trump campaign. The question remains what information Manafort, 69, is able to provide about the president, as well as whether the Trump election effort coordinated with Russia.

Manafort was among the participants in a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting in New York with

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

Plea deal requires him to assist in Mueller’s Russia investigation

Paul Manafort, who has been in jail since June, forfeited several properties and financial packages in his plea deal on conspiracy charges.

Russians and Trump’s oldest son and son-in-law that was arranged for the campaign to receive derogatory information about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Manafort was also a close business associate of a man who U.S. intelligence believes has ties to Russian intelligence. While he was working on the campaign, emails show Manafort discussed providing private briefings for a wealthy Russian businessman

close to Vladimir Putin.

“The expectations around Manafort’s cooperation are likely at a level beyond anyone else to date who has agreed to cooperate,” said Jacob Frenkel, a Washington lawyer not involved in the case.

“Whether those expectations will be met is the great unknown.”

Manafort had long resisted the idea of cooperating even as prosecutors stacked additional charges against him in

Washington and Virginia. Trump had saluted that stance, publicly praising him and suggesting Manafort had been treated worse than gangster Al Capone.

Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had suggested a pardon might be a possibility after the investigation was concluded. Then came Friday’s development.

Manafort agreed to provide any information asked of him, testify whenever asked and even work undercover if necessary.

Mueller had already secured cooperation from a former Trump national security adviser who lied to the FBI about discussing sanctions with a Russian ambassador; a Trump campaign aide who broached the idea of a meeting with Putin; and another aide who was indicted alongside Manafort but ultimately turned on him. Trump’s former personal lawyer has separately pleaded guilty in New York.

Giuliani said he spoke to Trump on Friday about Manafort’s plea.

“The president was OK with it,” he said. “In a way, it’s another indication there is no evidence of collusion. All of these charges predate the time Paul spent with the president. And there’s nothing in what he pleaded about collusion.” ERIC TUCKER, CHAD DAY AND MICHAEL BALSAMO (AP)

Border agent held in slayings of four women LAREDO, TEXAS A U.S. Border Patrol supervisor was jailed Sunday on $2.5 million bond, accused in the killing of at least four women and of injuring a fifth who managed to escape.

Juan David Ortiz, 35, was being held in Laredo, Texas, on four counts of murder along with charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful restraint, Webb County jail records showed.

Ortiz was arrested a day earlier, after being found hiding in a truck in a hotel parking lot in Laredo about 2 a.m. Saturday, capping what investigators called a 10-day string of killings.

Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz said investigators “consider this to be a serial killer.”

It all began with the discovery Sept. 4 of the body of 29-yearold Melissa Ramirez. Like the other victims, Ramirez was shot in the head and left in a road.

On Friday, according to the affidavit, Ortiz picked up a woman named Erika Pena. She told police she struggled with Ortiz inside his truck, where he pointed a pistol at her, but that she was able to flee. She made it to a gas station, found a state trooper and asked for help.

Alaniz said the dead are believed to have been prostitutes and that one of them was a transgender woman.

He said investigators were still seeking a motive. Ortiz is believed to have acted alone.

THE TAKEAWAY

Colts rookie Darius Leonard forces and recovers a fumble by Redskins tight end Jordan Reed with Washington trailing by 12 points in the fourth quarter.

No-show at home COLTS 21, REDSKINS 9 Redskins corner Josh Norman stood alone on the goal line at FedEx Field on Sunday and threw up his arms in frustration.

Left by himself to pick one of two Colts receivers to cover in the fourth quarter of a game the Redskins still had a chance to win, Norman watched as T.Y. Hilton ran in a touchdown catch that would be the decisive blow in a 21-9 defeat.

It wasn’t just Norman who felt empty. In a stadium with open rows of unsold orange seats, the Redskins’ top offensive stars were unable to break free the way they had in last week’s season-opening victory at Arizona.

Adrian Peterson ran 11 times for 20 yards. Chris Thompson carried four times for 1. Alex Smith threw for 292 yards, but many of those came after the Colts (1-1) had built a substantial lead.

Sunday was also the first time in a half-century that Washington

did not announce a sellout. The announced crowd of 57,013 was far below capacity of 82,000.

The fans who did show booed the Redskins (1-1) several times and left the stadium mostly empty in the final minutes.

At the end, it was hard to say exactly what it is the Redskins can be optimistic about moving forward. Their wide receivers did little, their running backs struggled and their top offensive linemen, Trent Williams and Brandon Scherff, left the game with injuries, although both returned.

The Colts were without left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring), but they ran the ball well on the opening drive, mixing powerful dashes from Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins with short passes from Andrew Luck to Hilton and tight end Eric Ebron to move methodically downfield.

Luck threw a 7-yard pass to Ebron to put the Colts up 7-0 in under

six minutes.

Washington’s biggest moment in the first half came after a struggle. Luck had maneuvered the Colts from their own 5-yard line to the Redskins’ 37 early in the second quarter. On third down, linebacker Mason Foster tipped Luck’s throw to safety D.J. Swearinger for an interception.

Given that gift, the Redskins moved 27 yards on five plays, and Dustin Hopkins booted a 49-yard field goal that cut the lead to 7-3.

On the ensuing drive, Luck led

the Colts on an eight-play, 75-yard march that ended with Nyheim Hines running in an 8-yard score.

After missing his second attempt wide left just before the half, Hopkins would pull Washington to within five points with two more field goals — one off another Swearinger interception.

Luck and the Colts answered again, responding to Hopkins’ last field goal with a 13-play drive that ended with Hilton separating and celebrating.

Flat offense offers cause for concern Redskins tackles Trent Williams, Morgan Moses and Ty Nsekhe wore white oxford shirts and black ties underneath their pads at their final practice last week, dubbing it “business Friday.” Two days later, and a week removed from paving the way for a dominant run game in Arizona, Washington’s offensive line was thoroughly undressed by a young Colts defense led by a handful of high draft picks and a number of journeymen.

The Redskins ran for 65 yards in the 21-9 loss.

Their offense turned two D.J. Swearinger interceptions into field goals. Backpedaling for much of the game, Alex Smith, above, was sacked three times and went without a TD pass on the same day that Kirk Cousins, his predecessor in D.C., and Patrick Mahomes, his replacement in Kansas City, combined to toss 10 TDs.

Climbing to the top

‘Sorry for Your Loss’ Tuesday on Facebook Watch

Elizabeth Olsen plays a young widow coping with her husband’s death in the premiere of this half-hour dramedy series, which also stars Kelly Marie Tran and Janet McTeer.

Scaling Emmy heights is tough in the era of so-called peak TV, with the volume of shows matched by lofty expectations from academy voters. Good isn’t enough for comedies and dramas, which need to resonate with the current zeitgeist. Actors who also pull off the high-wire act of writing and directing collect more respect. Talent aside, a lavish marketing campaign helps as well. That in mind, let’s break down the glamour categories for tonight’s ceremony, hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost of “Saturday Night Live.” LYNN ELBER (AP)

2 ‘Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown’ 9 p.m. Sunday on CNN

The Season 12 premiere features Bourdain on a trip to Kenya with W. Kamau Bell, marking the final episode for which the beloved host recorded narration before his June death.

Drama Series

Actor, Drama Series

Should win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” It remains true to its unsparing vision of a poisoned society, daring us to watch or choose blind ignorance. No other show matches its demands with equal rewards.

Should win: Matthew Rhys, “The Americans.” Rhys’ somber, conflicted depiction of Soviet spy Mischa, aka American family man Philip Jennings, grounded the nowended series. Time to honor him, comrades.

Actor, Comedy Series

Will win: Sterling K. Brown, “This Is Us.” Brown was the only network drama series cast member to win last year, and his tenderhearted family man is as affecting as ever.

Should win: William H. Macy, “Shameless.” Must Macy’s damaged, erratic patriarch Frank Gallagher clean up his act or die for Macy to get the award he so richly deserves?

Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

For many viewers and voters, it’s got that zeitgeist thing down pat.

Comedy Series Should win: “Atlanta.” Auteur TV at its best, with star Donald Glover the series’ creator and showrunner, having won Emmys last year for acting and directing. But does it include enough punchlines per dramatic moment for voters?

Will win: “Atlanta.” While worthy freshman competitor “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” offers a female-empowerment vibe and more wisecracks, the series set in the 1950s can’t compete with the contemporary edge of “Atlanta.”

Actress, Drama Series Should win: Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve.” The five-time Emmy nominee for “Grey’s Anatomy” gives an intense, visceral performance in this female version of a mano a mano spy thriller and shines anew.

Will win: Elisabeth Moss, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Moss won the trophy last year for her portrayal of an unbroken victim, and her steeliness remains magnetic.

$24M

3 FX, HULU, AMAZON, BBC AMERICA, NBC AND SHOWTIME/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

creator Amy Sherman-Palladino’s post-”Gilmore Girls” realism.

Will win: Brosnahan. A breakout charmer in the right vehicle.

Limited Series

Will win: Donald Glover, “Atlanta.”

He’s a master of performance as well as seriocomic storytelling, bringing his searching young character to life with nuance and without cliche.

Should win: “Patrick Melrose.”

Actor-producer Benedict Cumberbatch’s passion project (based on Edward St Aubyn’s semi-autobiographical novels) is a flawlessly executed exploration of a tormented man and his past.

Actress, Comedy Series

Will win: “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.” Producer Ryan Murphy knows how to work the big canvas, as he proved with Emmy-lavished “The People v. O.J. Simpson.”

Should win: Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Brosnahan is dazzling as a betrayed wife who finds her voice in cathartic stand-up rants.

Brosnahan is the right interpreter for

Indulge in reality: Fall is packed with guilty pleasures The new batch of reality shows is just like … reality.

These series are sobering, scary, weird, goofy and yet somehow entertaining. Here are some of the new shows to consider.

W

ashington Post reporters and editors look back 50 years at events that shook the nation.

Assassinations. Riots in Washington. Culture wars. A turning point in Vietnam. The polarization that plagues the nation today was born, in many ways, in 1968. Read and remember.

KLMNO

N1092 2X10.5

“Ashlee + Evan” (E!): Diana Ross’ son and Jessica Simpson’s sis care for their awesomely named kid, Jagger, and support each other “forever” while pursuing fame on this Sunday night series. It’s unclear what their talent level is, though.

Remember Ashlee’s epic lipsync fail on “Saturday Night Live”?

“Car Masters: Rust to Riches” (Netflix): At Gotham Garage,

gritty car fixer-uppers take on vehicles that cost $500 to $1,000 and turn them into “cool” cars. Then they trade up … and up … and up … and

wind up with cars they can sell for six figures.

“The Hunt for the Trump Tapes With Tom Arnold” (Viceland): The tag line is: “America doesn’t want this show. But it might need it.” Comic actor Arnold is looking for tapes that make President Trump look bad. After he meets a possible source dressed in what appears to be a white bunny suit, I would have to say, “Nah, America really doesn’t need this!” The eight-episode series kicks off Tuesday.

“You Kiddin’ Me?!”

because … is this stuff really going to be funny to anyone outside the celebrity’s family?

“Made in Mexico” (Netflix): Stereotyping Mexicans is part of U.S. politics and now it’s part of the reality TV world, only in a fun way. “Mexicans are really emotional,” says one of the nine rich and beautiful people the show follows in Mexico City. Coming Sept.

28, the series has hookups, splurges, jealous spats and a drunken bullfight. Mexican pride is pridefully expressed.

“Hope in the Wild” (CBS) and “Vets Saving Pets” (NBC): Humans aid critters with oncology, dentistry, injury rehab and more in the Saturday morning series.

“Hope,” launching Sept. 29, gets its title from its star, rehab expert Hope Swinimer.

“Vets” starts Oct. 6. These shows should give you that warm, furry feeling.

(Facebook Watch): Hollywood

celebrities prank the public by following embarrassing instructions whispered into an earbud by their offspring.

The celebs range from D-list (Kris Jenner) to A-list (Zoe Saldana). Kim Kardashian West is an executive producer on the series, which premieres Saturday. The real prank may be on the viewing public

“X-Files” actor Peter Donat died Sept. 10 at 90

“Dancing With the Stars: Juniors” (ABC): Set to premiere Oct. 7, this spinoff with kids on the dance floor is bound to be better than its parent because one of the judges is the wittiest ice skater in creation, Adam Rippon.

“Another Brit playing a black American historical figure.

This has to stop. It’s beyond disrespectful to black Americans to have others telling our stories.” @KERRITWEETZ, reacting to the news

that actress Cynthia Erivo has been cast as Harriet Tubman in a biopic. Some were upset that an American was not cast, while others noted that Americans have played African figures.

“Love how the cameraman goes wide to purposely get them into the frame.” @JMBIKEINT, tweeting about a clip of Weather Channel

reporter Mike Seidel apparently struggling to stand upright amid the wind and rain of Hurricane Florence on Friday, as two teenagers walk uninhibited in the background. After Twitter users called Seidel “dramatic,” the Weather Channel defended his report by pointing out that he was standing on wet grass — as opposed walking on concrete like the teens — and was “undoubtedly exhausted” from multiple live reports.

“Is there such a thing as a good take? Because this qualifies as such.” @KALEENARIVERA, reacting to actress

Chelsea Peretti’s photo showing how she eats her cake — by avoiding the icing between the cake’s layers. The photo, which @ajyates33 labeled the “Toblerone method,” immediately sparked a heated debate between cake-and-icing purists, and those like Peretti, who aren’t fans of icing and consume their cake by eating around it.

“Has Good Charlotte given up or has Dr. Phil peaked?” @HANNACANADIA, tweeting about talk show host Dr. Phil’s appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” It was part of a skit in which Corden tries to turn pop-punk band Good Charlotte into “Great” Charlotte by having Dr. Phil join the band. Dr. Phil puts on eye makeup and fake tattoos to fit in before joining Good Charlotte for a short and pitchy performance of the band’s 2002 hit “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.”

David Harbour officiated a fan’s wedding this past weekend while dressed as his “Stranger Things” character, police chief Jim Hopper. The actor told a fan named Ericka in January that he would get ordained and officiate the ceremony if she got 125,000 retweets. It took Ericka less than 24 hours to hit that benchmark, and Harbour tweeted a photo from the wedding Saturday in Springfield, Ill. (EXPRESS)

Hailey Baldwin said she is not yet married to Justin Bieber after People reported the couple secretly tied the knot Thursday in New York City. “I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!”

Baldwin wrote in a since-deleted tweet. TMZ had published photographs of the couple at a courthouse, fueling the speculation that they were already married. But the 24-year-old singer and 21-year-old model did not get married Thursday and instead plan to hold a small ceremony in Canada, potentially this week, according to TMZ. (EXPRESS)
