Spy Museum scores big haul Ax used to kill Trotsky, parts of Powers’ U2 join its growing collection

Artifact’s long journey One item that was part of the vast trove donated to the International Spy Museum is a World War II-era cipher machine with Japanese characters that the Germans produced to share with their Axis ally. The war ended before the Enigma machine could be sent to Japan. A U.S. soldier found a stack of the machines on a boat in France and took one home with him to Long Island, N.Y. ”He kept it in his closet for 50 years,” said H. Keith Melton, who donated his collection of more than 5,000 spy artifacts. (AP)

There’s a victory flag that CIAbacked Cuban exiles never flew after the botched Bay of Pigs invasion in 1960. There’s a 13-foot-long World War II spy submarine known as the “Sleeping Beauty.” And there are escape-andevasion devices, codes and cipher machines, along with the disguises, secret writings, listening devices, clandestine radios, spy cameras and uniforms and clothes of the most famous spooks employed by the CIA, FBI, KGB and Britain’s MI6. Melton, a founding member

of the museum’s board, said professional appraisers estimated his collection at more than $20 million. He said he’s paid “foolish” prices for some items and, at times, acquired things that he later learned were fakes. “To me, the goal is not to see how many widgets I can get. It’s what can I learn. I love research. Every artifact I have is part of a detective search,” he said. Melton’s biggest coup — the item he looked for the longest — is the ice ax that killed Trotsky at his compound outside Mexico City in 1940. The assassin was

THE DISTRICT H. Keith Melton spent 40 years looking for the ice-climbing ax used in the bloody assassination of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. It had been sitting under a bed in Mexico City for decades. Much easier was acquiring a small, mangled chunk of Gary Powers’ U2 spy plane shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. It was a gift from a Soviet official. The items are part of the world’s largest private collection of spy artifacts. Melton, a wealthy businessman from Boca Raton, Fla., is donating all of it to the International Spy Museum in D.C. The museum announced last week that more than 5,000 items Melton amassed during four decades of crisscrossing the globe will be the cornerstone of a new, larger facility slated to open next year at L’Enfant Plaza. It is a “magnificent gesture,” gushed Peter Earnest, the museum’s founding director, crediting Melton’s donation with tripling the museum’s current holdings of roughly 2,000 items.

Ravens delay giveaway of DNA test kits at game

Ramon Mercader, a communist and suspected agent of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin who was jailed for years in Mexico. A man who operated a teaching museum within the Mexican police checked out the ax from a police evidence room in the 1940s to preserve it. It was later given to him as a retirement gift. “He gave it to his daughter and it had been under her bed until 2008,” Melton said. “She pulled it out. I made three trips to Mexico City, and we were able to prove that it was the right ax.” DEB RIECHMANN (AP)

The Baltimore Ravens’ plan to give out DNA testing kits at their home opener has been rescheduled for later in the season. Orig3n, the company behind the event, said Sunday that it must first address questions from Maryland state officials. The plan was to have fans get their genetic makeup Sunday by swabbing the inside of their cheek and placing the sample in a bin inside M&T Bank Stadium. Orig3n says its tests can provide information about an individual’s genetic profile. (AP) FAMILY OUTING

Lyon sisters murders haunt rural Va. town

MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Mother of 2 missing kids indicted in their deaths

Taylors Mountain’s link to the 1975 killings troubles its residents

42K

Decision on noncitizen voting flubbed NIKKI ARRINGTON

TAYLORS MOUNTAIN, VA. The disappearance of two young Maryland sisters shook the suburbs of Washington, and remained an agonizing mystery for more than four decades. Now another region 250 miles away is linked to the crime. Authorities say convicted sex offender Lloyd Lee Welch Jr. burned at least one of the sisters’ bodies in a fire on his cousins’ property on Taylors Mountain, in west-central Virginia. Following Welch’s guilty plea last week, the people of Taylors Mountain are hoping to put an end to any association between their home and the slayings of 10-year-old Katherine and 12-year-old Sheila Lyon. The sisters vanished in 1975 after walking to a shopping mall near their home in Kensington, Md. “All of us feel like he stained all of our reputations. We had nothing to do with it. It’s something we’d rather have not had happen here. We wouldn’t want to see it happen anywhere,” said Danny Johnson, who runs an apple orchard and winery on the mountain. Welch did not live on the mountain perched in the Blue Ridge range, but he had cousins, an aunt, uncle and other relatives

who did. And for 38 years, the mystery remained unresolved, despite what they and their neighbors saw back in 1975. Only when detectives from Montgomery County showed up in 2013 did people on Taylors Mountain start talking. Welch had become a “person of interest” in the sisters’ disappearance by then. Two of his cousins told police they remembered an unexpected visit to their home on Taylors Mountain that spring. The Lyon sisters disappeared March 25. One cousin said Welch had a duffel bag containing bloody

clothing, and told her he had been using it to carry ground beef. Other people who lived on the mountain told investigators they remember a fire that burned for days that had “the stench of death,” Bedford County Commonwealth’s Attorney Wes Nance said last week. Welch’s relatives sold their home there five years ago. Locals bristle at the renewed attention the case has brought. “People resent the fact that they brought the children here. I resent it, too. We’re not a dumping ground for bodies, and it was just quite a blow to everybody that somebody would do that,” said Ronnie Laughlin, a retired Bedford County deputy sheriff. “They live quiet and peaceful, and they didn’t ask for this to happen.” DENISE LAVOIE (AP)

Turns out, officials in the Maryland city of College Park failed to pass a charter amendment that would have allowed noncitizens to vote in municipal elections. The city made the announcement Friday, after officials realized that the amendment failed to get enough votes, after it was initially believed it had passed. For most council actions, a simple majority of members present is needed for passage. But the city charter was changed in June to require approval by six members to change the charter. The vote Tuesday night was 4-3 with one abstention. The city’s mayor and council members announced the mistake “with a considerable degree of embarrassment and regret.” The council is scheduled to discuss the development Tuesday. (AP)

AIRPORT NOISE COMPLAINTS

The number of noise complaints officials at Reagan National and Dulles International airports received in 2016, compared with just under 10,000 in 2015. Noise reports for National jumped more than fourfold, to 36,653 in 2016 from 8,760 in 2015. Dulles also saw a spike, with slightly more than 6,000 complaints in 2016 compared with about 1,200 in 2015. One resident of Northwest D.C.’s affluent Foxhall neighborhood filed 17,273 complaints about noise at National — an average of 47 a day. Residents and some elected officials said the jumps were driven by changes the Federal Aviation Administration made to flight paths at the region’s major airports. (TWP/AP)

Juggalos trump Trump rally THE DISTRICT Organizers had dubbed it the Mother of All Rallies and hoped to bring out thousands to pack the National Mall on Saturday in support of President Donald Trump. In the end, hundreds of flag-waving demonstrators did their best to make some noise in support of the president, who had skipped town for the weekend. The pro-Trump rally was part of a day of diverse political demonstrations in D.C. It was preceded Saturday by a small anti-Trump protest near the White House, where about two dozen people demanded tougher action against Russian President Vladimir Putin in retaliation for Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election. While the pro-Trump demonstrators clearly outnumbered the anti-Trump contingent, both sides were dwarfed by the juggalos, as supporters of the rap duo Insane Clown Posse are known. In front of the Lincoln Memorial, about 1,500 juggalos staged an all-day rally and concert to protest what they say is

A 2011 report by the Justice Department’s Gang Task Force labeled the juggalos, who favor extensive tattoos and outlandish face paint, a “loosely organized hybrid gang.” It’s the same classification used for overtly violent gangs like the Bloods and the Crips. The rap duo has developed an intensely devoted fan base over the course of a 25-year career, and its fans claim to be a nonviolent community. Protesters chanted

“Family!” as well as several obscene slogans aimed at the FBI. One demonstrator, Matt Fratelli of Queens, N.Y., held up a sign that said, “Judge me not by the color of my face paint.” Fratelli, 27, said he worked for the government but didn’t want his superiors to know he was a juggalo for fear of discrimination. “We’re a family, a large one. I’m here to march for my people,” Fratelli said. The band, along with the ACLU, sued the FBI in 2014 seeking to change the gang classification, but has had little success so far. Organizers of the pro-Trump demonstration had urged people to attend by saying, “If you stand for patriotism and freedom, this rally is for you!” Although far fewer people turned out than the organizers expected, the demonstrators were determined to show their support for the president. “We are here to tell the world, the media and the Congress, not just the Democrats but the Republicans as well, that President Trump has our full support and that it’s time to drain this swamp,” one of the speakers said from the stage as the crowd applauded.

Coasts boom despite lessons

weekendd re w in CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

Devastating storms have not slowed pace of coastal development

JOE RAEDLE (GETTY IMAGES)

ENVIRONMENT Rising sea levels and fierce storms have failed to stop relentless population growth along U.S. coasts in recent years, a new Associated Press analysis shows. The latest punishing hurricanes scored bull’s-eyes on two of the country’s fastestgrowing regions: coastal Texas around Houston and resort areas of southwest Florida. Nothing seems to curb America’s appetite for life near the sea, especially in the warmer climates of the South. Coastal development destroys natural barriers such as islands and wetlands, promotes erosion and flooding, and positions more buildings and people in the path of future destruction, according to researchers and policy advisers who study hurricanes. “History gives us a lesson, but we don’t always learn from it,” said Graham Tobin, a disaster researcher at the University of South Florida in Tampa. That city took a glancing hit from Hurricane Irma — one of the most intense U.S. hurricanes in years — but suffered less flooding and damage than some other parts of the state. In 2005, coastal communities vowed to make changes after seeing the 1,800 deaths and $108 billion in damage from Hurricane Katrina. But hurricane-prone areas continue to grow.

Harvard reverses stance on honor for Manning

Waterfront homes in Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys were destroyed last week by Hurricane Irma.

Harvey, another historically big hurricane, flooded sections of Houston in recent weeks. Four counties around Houston, where growth has been buoyed by the oil business, took the full force of the storm. The population of those counties expanded by 12 percent from 2010 to 2016, to a total of 5.3 million people, the AP analysis shows. During the same years, two of Florida’s fastest-growing coastline counties — retirementfriendly Lee and Manatee, both south of Tampa — welcomed 16 percent more people. That area took a direct hit from Irma after it made first landfall in the Florida Keys, where damage was far more devastating. Overall growth of 10 percent in Texas Gulf counties and 9 percent

Growth on the coasts Across the U.S., the population of coastline counties grew an average of 5.6 percent from 2010 to 2016, while inland counties gained just 4 percent. This recent trend tracks with decades of development along U.S. coasts. From 1960 to 2008, the national coastline population rose by 84 percent, compared with 64 percent inland, according to the Census Bureau. (AP)

along Florida’s coasts during the same period was surpassed only by South Carolina. Its seaside population, led by the Myrtle Beach area of Horry County, rose more than 13 percent. Coastline communities can expect to face more frequent

storm threats in the future. Global warming from humangenerated greenhouse gases is melting polar ice and elevating sea levels at an increasing pace, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That amplifies storm surges and other flooding. Also, some climate models used by scientists predict stronger, more frequent hurricanes as another effect of global warming in the coming decades. “There will be some real challenges for coastal towns,” predicted Jamie Kruse, director of the Center for Natural Hazards Research at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. “We’ll see some of these homes that are part of their tax base becoming unlivable.” JEFF DONN (AP)

LONGER COMMUTES

The number of seconds longer the average American commute was last year than in 2015, according to the Census Bureau’s latest American Community Survey. Those 12 seconds may not sound like much, but consider this: Multiply it — twice a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year — and it works out to an extra one hour and 40 minutes on the road for every single American worker last year. With an average commute of 26 minutes and 36 seconds, the typical American spent more than nine full days getting to and from work over the course of 2016.

Harvard University reversed its decision to name Chelsea Manning a visiting fellow. CIA Director Mike Pompeo had scrapped a planned appearance to protest the title for the soldier who was convicted of leaking classified information. Manning is still invited to spend a day at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, but without the title.

Tillerson: U.S. considering closing embassy in Cuba

Maria takes aim at islands still recovering from Irma

Four Americans who French authorities say were attacked with acid at a train station in the city of Marseille have been identified as students at Boston College. The private university said in a statement Sunday that the four female students were treated for burns at a Marseille hospital after they were sprayed in the face with acid Sunday morning. The statement said all four were juniors studying abroad. A 41-year-old female suspect has been arrested in the attack; police described her as “disturbed.” French officials are not investigating the attack as an act of terrorism for the time being. (AP)

The Trump administration is considering closing the recently reopened U.S. Embassy in Havana following a string of unexplained incidents harming the health of American diplomats in Cuba, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday. Of the 21 medically confirmed U.S. victims — diplomats and their families — some have permanent hearing loss or concussions, while others suffered nausea, headaches and ear-ringing. Some victims felt vibrations or heard loud sounds audible in only parts of rooms. Cuba has denied any responsibility and offered to help the U.S. resolve the matter. (AP)

Forecasters said Sunday that Hurricane Maria is likely to hit the Leeward Islands as a strengthening hurricane by tonight. Hurricane watches were in effect for many islands still trying to recover from Hurricane Irma, including St. Martin, St. Barts, and Antigua and Barbuda. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Maria had strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane Sunday and is likely to swell into a major hurricane by midweek. Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said officials have prepared about 450 shelters. He said schools were cancelled for today and government staff would work a half day. (AP)

POLITICS Democratic lawmakers shut out of governance for much of this year now find themselves at the center of high-stakes negotiations with President Trump that could achieve a prize they have sought for nearly a decade: permanent legal status for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants. For a small but vocal contingent of Democrats, these talks are fraught with peril, largely because of their total distrust of a man who began his presidential campaign two years ago describing illegal immigrants from Mexico as rapists. But for Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, DN.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., there is little to lose. If the deal falls apart and Trump returns to his pattern of insult-hurling and name-calling, the Democratic leaders will be right where they began — no better and no worse. And a successful negotiation would achieve something they

It could also serve as a road map for more achievements. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” Schumer said in an interview. “We thought we had an opportunity to get something good done, and let’s see what happens. We’re very hopeful that they will keep their word.” Schumer and Pelosi are pressing ahead with the president’s top advisers, hoping to reach a deal in a matter of weeks to enshrine in law the Obama-era executive order called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It protects from deportation undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Trump has criticized DACA as executive overreach, but he has also expressed empathy for the young immigrants it protects. There is one critical stumbling block to the whole effort to pass a Dream Act to replace DACA: how much additional border security and enforcement Trump will demand in return. The deep fear among Democrats skeptical of the negotiations is that, in exchange for permanent protections for “Dreamers,” Trump will win

broad new powers and resources to enforce immigration laws that go beyond adding more agents or technology along the border. The cost of a permanent Dream Act, they say, could be a new and emboldened deportation force across the nation that undermines civil liberties and terrorizes law-abiding immigrants. “We’re going to have to be very leery and very careful of the slippery slope,” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. “There is no fresh start with Trump, and I don’t trust him,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz. Congressional Republicans, for their part, worry that Pelosi and

Schumer could outsmart Trump. The two are seasoned dealmakers with more than 65 years of combined service on Capitol Hill. For now, Schumer and Pelosi have taken a page from President Ronald Reagan’s old “trust but verify” adage toward the Soviets. They say they have convinced Trump that protecting immigrants currently covered by DACA is the right policy and the right political move for a president with poor approval ratings. “Look, he said he would do this,” Schumer said. “I take him at his word that he will.” PAUL KANE, ED O’KEEFE AND ASHLEY PARKER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

UNITED NATIONS Facing an escalating nuclear threat from North Korea and the mass flight of minority Muslims from Myanmar, world leaders gather at the United Nations starting today to tackle these and other tough challenges. The spotlight this week in New York will be on President Trump and France’s new leader, Emmanuel Macron, who will each be making their first appearance at the General Assembly. They will be joined by more than 100 heads of state and government. North Korea, which SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres calls “the most dangerous crisis that we face today,” will be a carefully watched topic. No official event addressing Pyongyang’s relentless campaign to develop nuclear weapons capable of hitting the U.S. is on the U.N. agenda, but it is expected to be the No. 1 issue for most leaders. Not far behind will be the plight of Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims, victims of what Guterres calls a campaign of ethnic cleansing that has driven nearly 400,000 to flee to Bangladesh in the past three weeks. The Security Council, in its first statement on Myanmar in nine years, condemned the violence and called for immediate steps to end it. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is hosting a closed meeting on the crisis today, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s contact group on the Rohingyas is scheduled to meet Tuesday.

nation+world Police make 2nd arrest in bombing on subway that injured 30 people GREAT BRITAIN British police made progress Sunday in their investigation of the bomb that partially exploded on a packed London subway, leading counterterrorism officials to lower the country’s threat level because a related attack no longer was judged to be imminent. Home Secretary Amber Rudd announced the downgraded terrorism threat level hours after London police said a second suspect was in custody and a second property was being searched in connection with Friday’s attack that injured 30 people.

Rudd cautioned that the investigation was ongoing and that Britain still faced a substantial threat even though the terrorism level had been reset to “severe” from “critical.” “Severe still means that an attack is highly likely, so I would urge everybody to be vigilant but not alarmed,” she said. The changes were good news for London commuters who had anticipated heading to work this morning while police were pursuing suspects before they could attack the city again. Mark Rowley, who heads the police counterterrorism operation, said the public still would see a strong police and military presence in the coming days. “ For practic a l a nd pre -

cautionary reasons, we made the decision that the increased resources will continue for the beginning of this week,” Rowley

said. “So the public will still see that high level of policing presence; some armed, some unarmed.” He said two properties were being searched and that police had “much more to do.” A second person — a 21-yearold man — was arrested under the Terrorism Act, suggesting that police and security services believe the subway bombing was not the work of just one person. The first suspect, an 18-yearold man, was arrested early Saturday in the departure area of the port of Dover, where ferries leave for France. The second was arrested in Hounslow in west London shortly before midnight Saturday. Both were questioned Sunday. GREGORY KATZ (AP)

UNIVERSITY CITY, MO. | A man stares at police in the Delmar Loop area west of St. Louis on Saturday shortly before a clash between police and a few dozen protesters resulted in the arrests of at least nine people. Several demonstrations, mostly peaceful, took place throughout the area after a judge Friday found white former St. Louis police officer Jason Stockley not guilty in the 2011 fatal shooting of a black drug suspect, Anthony Lamar Smith.

ENVIRONMENT Five prominent species of ash tree in the eastern U.S. are on the brink of extinction after years of lethal attack by a beetle, a scientific group says. Tens of millions of trees in the U.S. and Canada have already succumbed to the emerald ash borer, and the toll may eventually reach more than 8 billion, the International Union for Conservation of Nature said last week. Ash trees are a major part of eastern forests and urban streets, and their timber is used for making furniture and sports equipment like baseball bats. The emerald ash borer’s rampage is traced to the late 1990s, when it arrived from Asia in wood used in shipping pallets. Asian trees have evolved defenses against the insect, but North America presented it with vulnerable trees and no natural predators. “It’s a very efficient killer,” said Murphy Westwood of the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Ill. “As the ash borer moves through a forest, it will completely kill all of the mature ash trees within three or four years.” Westwood led the assessment that resulted in classifying the five species as critically endangered — meaning they are facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. The change appears on the IUCN’s Red List, the official index of which animals and plants are in danger of disappearing. MALCOLM RITTER (AP)

Why You Need an MBA—Entrepreneurs, Aspiring Managers, Physicians We have a long view. We are looking to educate students. A good outcome for us is a student who knows when to stop.”

For Managers: The Skills and Knowledge To Climb The Ladder

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an entry-level employee aspiring to management, a manager aspiring to the C-suite, or a physicianleader, an MBA helps you acquire business skills that will enable you to achieve your goals.

For Entrepreneurs: Knowing When to Play the Hand and When to Fold

eople who launch or plan to launch businesses often have identified an unmet need in the marketplace that syncs with a skill or interest they have. Missing from the equation: business expertise. That business expertise from an MBA can help a fledgling business soar higher. Or that business expertise might lead a would-be entrepreneur to decide not to launch that business after all. Either outcome, it’s a win, says Claire Leinweber, Managing Director of Penn Wharton Entrepreneurship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. “Only about one quarter

of our students have an undergraduate degree in some business discipline,” Leinweber says. “Almost half come from the humanities. But as an entrepreneur, you have to know all aspects of business.” Student-entrepreneurs can customize their MBA with a specialization in entrepreneurship and innovation. Or they may choose classes to build on their strengths or to cultivate other skills they or their cofounders don’t have, Leinweber says. “Students can take a deep dive into finance, into entrepreneurship, into marketing,” Leinweber says. “They also get exposed to things outside the classroom – competitions, awards, business incubators – that will help them build their business, become more efficient and profitable.” Penn Wharton Entrepreneurship program is part of Wharton’s two-year, full-time, on-site MBA program. Wharton, the country’s first business school, also offers an executive MBA program, based in Philadelphia and San

Francisco, with intensive classes every other weekend.

“While in class I experienced epiphanies as I reﬂected upon past professional scenarios with fresh perspectives.” —Dr. Geoffrey Rubin, M.D.

Student-entrepreneurs can learn how best to structure a business, price their product or service and how long it will take them to break even at different price points, she says. “Students have a two-year runway,” Leinweber says. “It’s a rich environment for experimentation. Students may realize, ‘This is a company I can certainly launch and work on fulltime when I graduate. It has real potential for growth.’ But another success for us is if a student goes through that process and pulls the plug on that business. That means they’ve learned a ton: how to launch a business, how to decide enough is enough and move on to the next thing.

Students with an eye on a managerial role can gain skills and knowledge with an MBA that can win them a seat in the C-suite. “We have designed our curriculum to provide MBA students hard skills such as analytical and strategic thinking, general management, technical and business decision making,” says Doreen Amorosa, associate dean and managing director of the MBA Career Center at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. “We also ensure our students gain soft skills including communication, professionalism and executive presence. Good managers exhibit both sets of skills to strategically serve their organizations and their teams. We prepare our students with classroom and hands-on learning experiences around these skills. By the time they graduate, our students have gained valuable experience that equips them for management roles.” The McDonough School of Business offers a full-time MBA program on campus, a three-year evening MBA program on campus for working professionals, an 18-month executive MBA program in an on campus weekend format, and a 14-month global executive MBA with two-week modules around the world, Amorosa says. Students in the full-time MBA program participate in an executive challenge as part of their leadership communications course, Amorosa says. Nearly 100 executive level alumni

return to campus from around the world to role-play in three live cases, she says. “Students gain valuable feedback on their communications skills, improve their executive presence and connect with successful alumni,” she says. All MBA students also are required to complete the Global Business Experience, which connects student teams with consulting projects abroad. At the end of the course, students travel to the company where they present their final recommendations to executives, Amorosa says. Other learning opportunities include access to a team of peer advisors who help support technical readiness for career switchers and career treks to cities that are known for expertise in specific industries such as a finance and marketing trip to New York City. Secondyear students who have had success in their internships and job searches hold mock interviews for the classes before them. Students start preparation even before they begin classes. At the MBA Career Center, the team works with students the summer before their first year to prepare them for the internship recruiting cycle. “We work with students to create their career deliverables: their accomplishments, inventory, prospectus and resume,” Amorosa says. “This ensures they have time to think about their career goals and be able to clearly articulate them before they begin their classes.”

Stanford University and chair of the department of radiology at Duke University, Dr. Geoffrey Rubin, M.D. was positioned to manage and influence hundreds of millions of dollars in costs and revenues. But like most physicians, Rubin’s training included no formal education into even basic business domains. That lack of business posed problems. “I experienced tension between physicians and non-physician administrators,” Rubin says. “There was a mentality amongst physician leaders that led to silos of activity and inefficient intraorganizational competition when cooperation and collaboration were clearly needed to address the evolving challenges and opportunities presented to healthcare providers. These issues inspired me to commit to a formal education provided through an MBA program. I wanted to learn management and leadership from experts with a breadth of experience and perspective across industries and organizations.” He completed the 20-month Weekend Executive MBA program at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. The Fuqua School also offers a 22-month traditional full-time MBA, a 16-month Global Executive MBA and a 17-month Cross Continent MBA. Since fewer than 10 percent of his classmates were physicians, Rubin appreciated the window into the careers and competencies of engineers,

bankers, marketers and entrepreneurs. “My prior understanding of markets and in particular the healthcare market was rudimentary at best,” he says. “While in class I experienced epiphanies as I reflected upon past professional scenarios with fresh perspectives.” Rubin appreciated what he learned so much that after completing the degree, he audited classes for another six months to gain additional insight. “The impact of the MBA has been profound,” he says. “I view every aspect of my professional activities through a different lens. Costing and other managerial accounting principles are at the forefront of my mind as I consider existing and proposed technologies and scientific developments in medicine. I am far better prepared to consider and address individual, organizational and industry barriers to change and specifically the adoption of new technologies. Combining these with the domain expertise that I carry in medicine and radiology in particular has allowed me to contribute across the breadth of business planning, strategy, and execution as a consultant, board member, and business co-owner. The impact has manifested in a greater role in my business decision making for both corporate and not-for-profit entities as well as in my academic activities.” ■

Nine Habits of Highly Successful Graduate Students

To juggle four balls in the circus, oops--meant to say succeed in graduate school while managing a career and family, you’ll need to cultivate good habits.

with 7 yourCommunicate professors.

Set your graduate school and career goals early.

“Sometimes, despite what they write in the admissions document, students may not know what they want to do,” says Cynthia Saunders-Cheatham, Executive Director of the Career Management Center at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. “They get exposed to so many options – at corporate briefings, industry fairs and other events – and they have a hard time deciding which path to target. If you’re looking at multiple career paths, especially if those paths don’t overlap, you could spend a lot of time going to different corporate briefings, filling out a lot of applications, and not preparing very well. Because you’re scattered, you’re not going to do as well in interviews. The students who are most successful do a lot of research up front. They talk to alumni and others. They know early on what their career path is.”

intermediate 2 andIdentify long-term goals. Succeeding in your current classes is an intermediate goal, says Nammy K. Lee, interim Senior Program Director, Business and Professional Studies at the University of Virginia School of Continuing and Professional Studies. A long-term goal? That would be finishing your professional certificate or graduate degree.

Follow a schedule.

“When I had a schedule set up, I would get up at a certain time, study for a set number of hours and then take a break,” Lee says. “You have to be diligent every day.” That schedule also should be realistic and flexible. “You can’t always be under stress,” Lee says. “You need catch-up time in case you can’t get everything done that you planned.”

Prioritize competing 4 demands to ﬁnd the best time for each.

Studying is just one of many things students do every day, Lee says. “You could be a husband, a father, an employee,” she says. Sometimes your family will be the most important thing. Other times, it will be your studies. Often, it will be your job. Plan what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. Remember order of operations in math class? You’ll be more efficient in your studies if you apply that idea for your homework. “For most students, it helps to read the relevant chapter before the lecture,” Lee says. “You’ll understand the lecture so much better.”

on one 5 taskFocus at a time. In today’s multi-screen world, many people try to do several work tasks, plus social media, at once. That’s not necessarily more productive. “I often talk to my students about focus,” Lee says. “Sometimes students think they can be more efficient by multi-tasking. Decide what needs to get done first and study smart by focusing on one thing at a time.” Just because you’re juggling multiple roles doesn’t mean you need to multi-task. Close out those social media windows until you finish your homework.

be the lazy 6 groupDon’tmember. You know the one—that group member who skips the group meetings and doesn’t do their share. “In every group setting, there are always people who lead,” Lee says. “There are always people who stay back and coast on the efforts of others. You don’t want to do that. You want to get the credit but also the knowledge.”

“If you are in a situation where you have difficulty studying or completing assignments, it’s important to reach out to your professors,” Lee says. “Professors want to help students succeed, not penalize them.” Reach out as soon as possible, Saunders-Cheatham says. “Don’t bury yourself in the sand or wait until the last minute, seek support.”

with 8 yourConnect classmates. “I’ve seen students draw inward when they need to be going out and connecting with other people,” Saunders-Cheatham says. “You’re all going through the same thing,” Lee says. “You all have something to share. That’s the power of a learning community, that you learn from each other.” After graduation, maintain those connections for networking.

Cultivate 9 resiliency. “The degree is very competitive,” Saunders-Cheatham says. ”You didn’t get the grade you hoped for. You didn’t get the interview you hoped for. You didn’t get the offer for an internship. It’s important to be able to bounce back, handle those setbacks and move forward if things don’t turn out your way. Don’t let it get you down for long.”

Remember you’re not alone. Graduate school is intense, but you’re surrounded by people who also are struggling and juggling. ■

orkers who plan to remain in the federal government are broadening their expertise with graduate degrees in fields such as theology and economics. Those who understand issues related to these topics can leverage that knowledge to benefit their organizations.

At The Corner of Faith Avenue and Political Drive People who understand the intersection of faith and politics have been making a difference for decades, says Mike McCurry, former White House Press Secretary for President Bill Clinton and the Director of the Center for Public Theology at Wesley Theological Seminary. In the 1960s, liberal-leaning religious leaders influenced the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1970s, conservative religious leaders pushed for stricter laws against abortion. Today, people of faith have the opportunity to bring a muchneeded, kinder, gentler tone to politics, McCurry says. One of the goals of the Center for

u The Two-Year MBA at Cornell offers an innovative, real-world learning experience to help students achieve both immediate and long-term career success. Public Theology is to increase the number of people who work effectively at that junction. “The faith perspective shapes a lot of the official business of Washington from policy-making to politics,” says McCurry, also a Distinguished Professor of Public Theology. “An understanding of how that intersection between religion and politics works is very useful to those in the federal civil service and Foreign Service.” But too often, political influencers reserve their faith for outside the workplace while religious leaders keep politics outside of places of worship, he says. “My church was a safe sanctuary for me where I got away from work in Washington,” McCurry says. “It wasn’t until I got away from government service that I realized—things we talked about in church I didn’t put in practice as much as I should have. I would have been a little less edgy in things I said from the podium.”

Meantime for many members of the clergy, politics is seen as unseemly. “That avoidance misses the opportunity to create a different type of dialogue that is very necessary,” he says. “Churches, synagogues and mosques are places where people who have different political points of view come together for worship and to experience community together. Leaders of those congregations need to be equipped to facilitate that dialogue. That takes some skill. That’s part of what we are trying to do at Wesley Theological Seminary.” Wesley’s Center for Public Theology includes a diverse range of primarily Protestant students including many Koreans and a large contingent of AfricanAmericans. Master of Arts and Master of Divinity students can earn a specialization in public theology by taking additional courses. Other opportunities include a certificate in Faith and

Public Life, the National Capital Semester for Seminarians with courses in ethics, theology and public policy. Some students are bound for ordination as ministers while others will work for nonprofits or as lobbyists, he says. “Many students have grown up hearing the phrase ‘separation of church and state,’ that you’re not supposed to mix politics and religion,” McCurry says. “Here, they have an opportunity to learn more deeply about how religion has impacted civic life and how politics has impacted religion in America. It opens their eyes.”

Economists Make a Difference in Policy-Making For people working for government agencies or international organizations such as the World Bank, a graduate degree in economics can set the stage for employment and advancement— because these agencies need more people with their skill sets. “A lot of decisions in the economic branch are being made these days without regard to proper economic analysis,” says John Straub, Executive Director of the University of Maryland Department of Economics’

Professional Master’s Degree program. “Economists are naturally concerned about the consequences of the resulting policy decisions and want to play a role in a more rational policymaking process.” Part of that critical thinking involves reducing large problems to manageable parts. “In the federal government we often deal with large complex problems, involving many moving parts,” says Dennis Guignet, a research economist at the National Center for Environmental Economics at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“A graduate degree in economics teaches you how to systematically break down a problem into manageable pieces, enabling you to identify the root causes of an issue and, in turn, develop and assess options to alleviate that issue.” Career paths for graduates include: analyzing proposed Congressional legislation for members of Congress or affected parties who have input, analyzing financial markets for the Federal Reserve, supporting research at the Inter-American Development Bank, evaluating proposals submitted to the National Institutes of Health, and

researching at Fannie Mae how student loan debt affects home ownership trends, Straub says. Students in the program often see a pay-off before they finish. “Employers are often interested in recruiting our students before they have completed the program,” Straub says. “Just being enrolled in a program like ours is a strong signal that the person is serious about empirical policy analysis. Many of our students get hired initially into paid full-time internships with benefits. The internships usually lead to offers of permanent employment once they complete the degree.” ■

GridLion also works with energy producers and international development firms to support energy project development initiatives, including current work on a USAID funded sustainable energy project in Afghanistan. Jeremy elected to study Energy Policy and Climate at JHU to gain exposure to the varied subject matter, faculty experts, and other students working in energy and climate policy sectors. Passionate about solving complex problems, Jeremy believes that the EPC program gave him the intellectual and experiential tools necessary to be a true change agent in the energy security field.

Sometimes students want to go beyond an MBA. “I have students who have an MBA already,” says Karin Orr, program coordinator for the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management at Johns Hopkins University. These students want to know more about working for and with nonprofit organizations. Many students in the nonprofit management program are attracted by the idea of channeling their experience in the private sector to make a difference for a charity or nonprofit, Orr says. In some cases, she says, for-profit businesses start non-profit causes that align

hile an MBA helps many people advance their careers, others achieve professional and personal success with graduate degrees or certificates in fields outside of business. “Let’s be honest: there are areas of the private sector such as finance that are more suited for an MBA degree than a policy degree,” says Siona Listokin, associate professor at the George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government. “But at the end of the day, a prospective employer is looking for a set of skills and they’re looking for evidence of a mind at work.” The point of any professional graduate degree is two-fold, Listokin says. “The first is to develop a core set of skills,” she says. “Those skills might include statistical skills, data management, and writing skills. The second is developing a subject matter expertise. Students will typically overemphasize the subject they’re going to become experts on in graduate school and underestimate those core sets of skills. The core set of skills taught in MBA programs are taught in other graduate degrees too.”

with their business, such as a bookstore in Chicago that uses some of its profits to fund its literacy program, Open Books.

In other cases, businesses partner with existing local, national and international nonprofits, Orr says. “Corporate social responsibility has been trending throughout the past three decades,” she says. “Many businesses are using a portion of their profits to contribute to the community at large. This has become its own sector. “More and more businesses are taking on this model of going beyond the scope of their for-profit work.” Having the knowledge of the non-profit world is helpful before launching such a venture because the mindset and goals are different from those in the for-profit world, Orr says. For example, success at a for-profit business means … more profits. On the other hand, success for a non-profit – helping its constituency -- also can mean its resources are depleted, she says. Meantime because of limited

funds, those in the non-profit world often are more innovative, she says. “Those in the business world are so focused on being competitive: having that extra piece of insight provides more opportunities in terms of fostering innovation and identifying opportunities,” Orr says. Students learn about the nonprofit work at large and have the opportunity to learn about specific interests they may have including social enterprise. As for policy, “Policy issues very frequently end up becoming business strategy issues,” Listokin says. “Becoming a subject matter expert on a policy issue can become a strategic advantage in the private sector.” For example, some counties and towns in Virginia are considering increasing their meal taxes. The business case for a restaurant chain opposed to such a tax increase is pretty clear, Listokin says. Higher restaurant prices can equal fewer meals sold and lower profits. But fighting

“More and more businesses are taking on this model of going beyond the scope of their for-proﬁt work.” —Karin Orr, program coordinator for the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management at Johns Hopkins University

such an increase works better with a policy reason in opposition. Such a policy case might be: “Restaurant taxes end up being regressive—hitting low-income people,” she says. “They end up impacting tourism, businesses and residents. A business that is armed with someone who

understands that is going to have a strategic advantage.” Businesses that think proactively about policy have a larger advantage, Listokin says, citing Uber, Facebook and Google. “Uber is a great example,” she says. “They don’t just defend themselves against legislation.

They use deep economic analysis to show their existence is beneficial to a jurisdiction. They have taken advantage of their understanding of the policy process. The Facebooks and the Googles of the world: if they’re just responding to regulation about data collection,

they’re going to run into some real problems. But what you see is those companies working with regulators at the state and federal level to say, ‘Here’s what data collection at scale actually requires. Here’s what privacy means to our customers.’ They’re not waiting for an adversary to hit

them over the head with a fine or an investigation. They’re working with those regulators.” With the right training, leaders are poised to make a difference. “There are business professionals who want to feel that intrinsic value of not just donating but helping,” Orr says. ■

George Mason’s Schar School of Policy and Government First-Hand Learning About Corruption in Campaign Finance Marco Alcocer never expected to hear politicians candidly explain how to run a corrupt campaign. While pursuing a Master of Arts in International Security from George Mason’s Schar School of Policy and Government, Alcocer was part of a group that met first-hand with Mexican politicians near Mexico City. “Every day, we met with politicians, businessmen, activists and journalists,” Alcocer says. “A politician from one of the three big Mexican political parties talked about campaign financing and corruption. He explained how different parties did it without government regulators finding out.” Back at the Schar School, Alcocer appreciated the opportunity to sample both the academic side and the professional side of his major as well as internships focusing on drug control and immigration. This semester, Alcocer began work on a Ph.D. in political science. “The program at George Mason helped me to see what I wanted for my future,” he says.

ederal government workers worried about losing their jobs with Trump administration cuts have plenty of options to earn a graduate degree. In most cases, it’s possible to earn a degree while still working, and then pivot into a new profession or new sector. “This administration has made it very clear that they intend to drastically reduce the size of the federal government,” says Martina Leinz, Director of Executive Education, Recruitment and Outreach at Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS). “They aren’t making any bones about it. We’ve seen it already at the Environmental Protection Agency and at the Department of Education where there have been cuts and hiring freezes. Some at the Department of Justice and State Department may have ethical reasons for wanting to leave. Overall, it’s causing people to rethink their career goals. They’re looking for new opportunities.” For career switchers, earning a graduate degree can open doors outside the federal government. “We see people who have one career in the pubic sector,” Leinz says. “Now they’re wanting to do a 180 and go into the private sector or nonprofit sector.” At the University of Maryland University College, about 50 percent of students in graduate school are career switchers while others are mid-career federal workers, says Kathryn Klose, Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Maryland University College. Many may want to understand policies related to the field they’re already in perhaps to prepare to move into a complementary sector. For example, a nurse might earn a master’s degree in healthcare

administration. Someone with an undergraduate degree in computer network architecture might choose to earn a master’s degree in cloud computing or cybersecurity, Klose says. “We have medical doctors that come to SAIS because they want to understand policy issues in the health industry related to global health,” Leinz says. Students in the SAIS programs can deepen their understanding of policy formation and develop expertise in either a region of the world or a functional area of international development such as energy resources or conflict management, Leinz says. At Johns Hopkins, the Master of Arts in Global Policy program is 16 months part-time for people who continue working. The Master

onstruction workers have joined students and professors at several universities in the greater Washington area that are renovating and expanding. These new buildings and centers have generated excitement, improved learning and created more inviting space. Payden Academic Center at Trinity Washington University Trinity University’s new Payden Academic Center makes an outstanding first impression with a visually stunning rendition of the university seal in blue, red, silver and gold, says Ann Pauley, Vice President of Advancement. The new building includes 80,000 square feet, was dedicated in June 2016 and is home now to 90 percent of the university’s classes. The building houses all disciplines: including graduate and undergraduate programs in nursing, communications, business, occupational therapy, counseling and education. Most of those classes had been in the university’s first building, which opened in 1900. “Trinity is an historic institution,” Pauley says. “It has historic charm. It also has historic quirks. The Payden Academic Center has been transformational and a real game changer for our students and faculty for the way they learn and teach.” State-of-the-art technology includes video and projection equipment. New Leica microscopes have USB ports to connect to phone and laptops, Pauley says. Nursing students can practice with hospital training manikins – realistic, talking human mannequin simulation models that can be controlled by a professor on the other side of a wall. The modern design facilitates better learning, she says. Space in classrooms and lecture halls

is flexible and can easily be reconfigured for group work, Pauley says. Quiet study nooks at the end of hallways offer inviting spaces to work. The center includes private space for one-on-one counseling sessions for students to practice their skills right in the building, she says. “We have video equipment available to them so they can film those sessions and show them to the class later that evening or the next evening for feedback,” she says. The building is LEED-certified and one element of that certification is floor to ceiling windows throughout, Pauley says. The abundance of natural light has a positive impact on students, faculty and staff. “It’s a more motivational and inspiring place to learn,” Pauley says. “Our students stand a little taller and take a great deal of pride in the university.” Marymount University Ballston Center Designed for 21st Century Learning Business students at Marymount University’s new Ballston Center can experience a stock exchange trading floor as part of the new complex that opened in August at the campus in Arlington, says

New Facilities Offer Exciting Opportunities s Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall will be the largest building on Mason’s Fairfax Campus at 165,000 square feet. It will house all six academic departments of the College of Health and Human Services, and includes classrooms, ofﬁces, a health clinic, wet labs, a nutrition kitchen and an amphitheater. Faculty and staff will move in this fall, and students will take classes there starting in January 2018.

Odette Shults, marketing and communications coordinator. “The new center is better situated for 21st century learning and the pedagogies that go with 21st century learning,” Shults says. “There is a lot of high tech space for business students and cybersecurity students. It is really instructive in real world commerce.” The new campus replaces the 1960s-era building once occupied by the CIA and nicknamed the Blue Goose for its coloring and extended wings. Some of the iconic blue panels have been repurposed as part of the new buildings and signage, she says. “As architecturally interesting as the Blue Goose was, it lacked some things in support of modern day education, Shults says. “This facility was designed with modern education in mind. Every space was carefully considered--how do we best instruct these business students so they have the skills and mindset they need as they go out into their careers. What do we provide for these counseling students that better enables them to help their clients in the future. Everything was really deliberate. We’re celebrating as a community of learners.” One building for academics and office space comprises 165,048 square feet. The new center houses Marymount’s School of Business Administration, select programs within the School of Education and Human Services

and the Graduate School Admissions Office. A second building is 254,907 square feet and houses revenue-generating retail and residential space for graduate students. The center also includes community and collaborative space as well as an art gallery that will open in the spring. “Everybody is so excited,” Shults says. “It has been such an invigorating experience.” Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall at George Mason University When the Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall at George Mason University opens for spring semester, students will experience the latest technology in a setting designed for sustainability, flexibility, collaboration and growth. All of the undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Health and Human Services will be housed in the 165,000 square foot facility that also includes classroom space, offices, a community health clinic, wet labs, a working nutrition kitchen and an amphitheater, says Christine Coussens, Associate Dean for Community Engagement at the College of Health and Human Services at George Mason University. The building will house the School of Nursing and the departments of Social Work, Health Administration and Policy, Global and Community Health, Rehabilitation Sciences, and Nutrition and Food Studies.

“Overall, the building is designed for versatility and growth,” she says. “Some of the internal walls are made with modular pieces and labs are built with the possibility of expansion.” A simulation lab in the School of Nursing with two cameras will enable review and evaluation of nursing students during scenarios, Coussens says. The nursing space is designed so it can be reconfigured or expanded if needed in the future. The state-of-the-art rehabilitation lab will allow researchers to conduct large clinical exercise intervention studies onsite, she says. The Health Informatics Learning Lab provides technology and data that supports specialized skills in health data management and analytics for research and management of health information systems. The associated Machine Learning Laboratory and Discovery Science in Health Informatics Research Center support research on data from electronic health records and public health databases in a HIPAA compliant secure system. In the lab, students can mine electronic health records and use predictive analysis to help clinicians make decisions, Coussens says. The building not only will offer opportunities for learning about health; the design will enable better health. “The food service venue on

University of Virginia Department of Emergency Medicine Will Offer More Private Rooms, Better Environment for Patient Care and Learning The University of Virginia’s new Department of Emergency Medicine will offer double the number of patient rooms when it opens as part of the expanded hospital. That means more privacy for patients and a better environment for medical students, says John Riordan, vice chair for clinical operations in the University of Virginia’s Department of Emergency Medicine. “Now, we have very few private rooms where the patient has the ability to speak freely and be examined freely without any privacy issues,” Riordan says. “We have situations where up to four patients are separated from

experimenting with a more robust workup at the front end, initiating care upon arrival even if they end up going to the waiting room afterward.” The expanded hospital, which also includes other medical facilities, is being constructed beside the existing Emergency Department. The new hospital will have 425,000 square feet. The new space will open in late 2018 and late 2019. Renovations of 95,000 square feet of the existing building, to begin after the move, are scheduled for completion at the end of 2020. The new space also will have pods dedicated to certain types of care including a behavioral health pod, an urgent care pod, a pod for severely ill or injured patients who need life-saving care, and a general medical pod, Riordan says. For medical students, the new space enables better instruction away from patients, Riordan says. “Teaching is a challenge in our current footprint,” he says. “It’s hard to do the teaching and have that interaction because it’s a very congested and loud environment.

TO AVOID A SECOND STRAIGHT LOSS, Redskins coach Jay Gruden recast his offense’s identity,

replacing a pass-heavy attack that wasn’t close to good enough in the Week 1 defeat to Philadelphia with a hefty dose of running. With 39 running plays for 229 yards, Washington (1-1) chewed

up enough clock to muzzle the slow-starting Rams (1-1) in Los Angeles. Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was 18-of-27 for just 179 yards, but he delivered the clutch throw — an 11-yard strike to Ryan Grant — that led to a 27-20 victory. With that, the Redskins steadied themselves before a grueling stretch against Oakland on Sunday night and at Kansas City a week later. LIZ CLARKE (THE WASHINGTON POST) BEST GAME-SEALING PICK:

WORST DOINK: Dustin Hopkins’ first missed field goal of the season came when his 51-yard attempt with 3:39 remaining in the third quarter deflected off the right upright. The miss allowed the Rams to tie the game with a 40-yard field goal from Zuerlein. HARRY HOW (GETTY IMAGES)

With 1:44 to play, 72 yards stood between the Rams and a potential game-tying score. Well, 72 yards and Mason Foster. The linebacker picked off Jared Goff’s first-down throw to preserve Washington’s 27-20 lead, and the Redskins ran out the clock to improve to 1-1. WORST-KEPT SECRET: When

they were protecting a 20-17 lead, the Redskins appeared to force a Rams punt early in the fourth quarter, but Los Angeles opted for a fake instead. Rams punter Johnny Hekker’s 17-yard pass to Josh Reynolds on fourth-and-6 was the former high school quarterback’s eighth career completion, so a Hekker throw shouldn’t have been a surprise. It led to a 40-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal that tied the game with 7:21 to play.

Ryan Grant makes the go-ahead touchdown catch with 1:49 left to play. BEST RUN: Late in the second quarter, Chris Thompson took a handoff 61 yards up the middle for his second TD of the game. Thompson’s 106 total yards in the first half helped Washington take a 20-10 lead into the break.

BEST HURDLE: Rams running back Todd Gurley went airborne over the top of Bashaud Breeland to finish an 18-yard touchdown catch that trimmed the Rams’ deficit to three in the third quarter. Gurley finished with 136 total yards and two scores.

BEST START: After forcing the Rams to punt on the first drive of the game, the Redskins drew first blood with a 41-yard field goal from Hopkins. After converting on third down only three of 11 times in Week 1, the Redskins moved the chains on their first two third-down attempts Sunday, including a 21-yard screen pass to wide receiver Jamison Crowder on third-and-17.

THE TAKEAWAY

Injuries will test depth on offense The good feelings engendered by a gamewinning drive may be short-lived. By the time Ryan Grant put the Redskins in position for their first win with an 11yard touchdown catch in the final two minutes, the offense had already seen two starters forced out of the game. Rob Kelley, above, was enjoying a breakthrough first half — 78 yards on 12 carries — before he suffered a rib injury early in the second quarter and didn’t return. Samaje Perine ran for 67 yards, and Chris Thompson racked up 77 yards and two TDs on three carries, so the Redskins are covered if Kelley’s injury is serious. The scarier sight was tight end Jordan Reed, who had a team-high six catches, pacing the sidelines in the second half without shoulder pads after he left the game with a chest injury.

Minnesota faces Sparks after advancing to finals for third season in a row LYNX 81, MYSTICS 70 Maya Moore scored 21 points, Sylvia Fowles added 17 with 14 rebounds, and the Minnesota Lynx completed a sweep of the Mystics with an 81-70 win in Game 3 on Sunday in Washington. Seimone Augustus contributed 18 points as Minnesota secured its third consecutive finals appearance and sixth in seven seasons. The Lynx will attempt to win their fourth WNBA title in seven years. The Lynx will play the Los Angeles Sparks, who completed a sweep of the Mercury with an 89-87 win Sunday in Phoenix. Elena Delle Donne scored 15 points to lead the Mystics, who exit the playoffs after reaching the semifinals for the first time since 2002. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt added 14 points and Kristi Tolliver had 13 for Washington, which forced the Lynx into a series-high 13 turnovers.

Lynx eliminate Mystics with three-game sweep

Elena Delle Donne, right, led the Mystics with 15 points, but Washington couldn’t recover from a 17-0 run by Jia Perkins and the Minnesota Lynx.

But the Mystics scored only 31 second-half points as they lost their sixth straight meeting with Minnesota in 2017. Washington led by seven in the second quarter, but the Lynx responded with a 17-0 run that stretched across halftime. Augustus scored Minnesota’s first seven points of the second half, including a transition

3-pointer. Moore added a technical free throw charged to the Mystics bench to make it 49-39 with 6:41 left in the third quarter. Washington closed back to within two before offensive rebounds from Rebekkah Brunson and Fowles keyed a four-point possession for the Lynx. That made it 63-57, and the lead grew again from there.

Indians celebrate clinching before 3-2 win over Royals

Truex wins at Chicagoland to open NASCAR playoffs

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones “has slowed down if not impeded” contract talks between the league and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, ESPN reported Sunday. His contract expires in 2019. Jones isn’t a member of the negotiating committee, but holds influence as the face of the league’s most valuable franchise. Dallas and Goodell are at odds over running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is fighting a six-game ban for alleged domestic violence. (TWP)

Corey Kluber extended his scoreless streak to 22 innings and Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer as the Indians celebrated a division title and beat the Royals 3-2 on Sunday in Cleveland. Before the game, Cleveland raised a flag for its second straight AL Central title. The team clinched Saturday night when second-place Minnesota lost to Toronto. The Indians won an AL-record 22 straight games before losing to Kansas City on Friday. (AP)

Martin Truex Jr. backed up his regular-season dominance with a win Sunday in NASCAR’s playoff opener at Chicagoland Speedway. Truex again proved he’ll be the driver to beat over the final nine races as he chases his first Cup championship. Truex won his fifth race of the season and earned an automatic berth in the second round of the playoffs, adding points in his bid to compete for the title at the finale at Homestead. (AP)

Official draws criticism for lopsided scoring of Golovkin, Alvarez draw BOXING The scene has become too familiar in boxing over the years: Ashen-faced officials try to explain the unexplainable. It happened again Saturday night in Las Vegas when Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin battled to a draw via a split decision.

Judge Dave Moretti scored the contest for Golovkin 115-113, and judge Don Trella saw it as a 114-114 tie. Judge Adalaide Byrd drew criticism for giving Alvarez the nod 118-110 — scoring only the fourth and seventh rounds for Golovkin, who retained his three middleweight titles. Not even Alvarez’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, could justify Byrd’s ruling. “A lot of people are not understanding 118-110, just like myself.

JOHN GURZINSKI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

One judge’s ruling taints major bout Canelo Alvarez, left, withstood Gennady Golovkin’s barrage and battled to a draw Saturday after judge Adalaide Byrd scored the fight in his favor.

... I’m in shock,” De La Hoya said. After a few sluggish early rounds, Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 knockouts) began to apply intense pressure. Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs)

absorbed heavy blows and landed counter shots, creating an actionpacked, competitive match. Bob Bennett, the executive director of the Nevada State

Athletic Commission, defended the assignment of Byrd to the match, citing her years of experience judging high-level bouts. But he didn’t back her scoring Saturday. “Unfortunately tonight, she didn’t do well,” Bennett said. “She was off her mark.” According to CompuBox, Golovkin, 35, connected on 218 of 703 punches (31 percent). Alvarez, 27, wasn’t as busy, landing 169 of 505 (33 percent) but connecting on 114 power punches to Golovkin’s 110. Golden Boy Promotions said there is a rematch clause in the contract. It wasn’t exercised Saturday, but it likely will be soon. JOE DEPAOLO (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

What to watch this fall

‘Dancing With the Stars’ 8 p.m. today on ABC

The 25th season of ABC’s dance competition brings a slew of celebrities to the stage, including Frankie Muniz, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Debbie Gibson and ex-NFL star Terrell Owens.

Many knew this day would come: Between all the broadcast, cable and streaming outlets, there are simply too many shows to watch. In the peak-TV era, it’s becoming more important to watch like a critic — ruthlessly, passionately, thoughtfully. We also should budget our viewing time carefully. To help with that, here are five picks from fall’s roster of new series. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

2 ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians 10 Year Anniversary Special’ E! is celebrating 10 years since the Kardashians first graced the small screen. The famous family sits down to recount some of their craziest moments. NETFLIX

Premieres 10 p.m. Sept. 27 on Sundance TV

Premieres 10 p.m. Oct. 15 on Showtime

Premieres Nov. 3 on Netflix

Given months to consider what sort of shows they wanted to bring out in the President Trump era, some broadcast networks have retreated to the politically safe territory of gung-ho dramas about elite soldiers battling foreign terrorists in top-secret ways. But it’s NBC’s “The Brave” (from Israeli producer Avi Nir, who shepherded “Homeland” to American TV) that busts in with the smoothest operation skills, as Anne Heche plays a hard-driven intelligence agency head who gives orders to a tightknit (and ethnically diverse) specialops team headed by Capt. Adam Dalton (“Under the Dome’s” Mike Vogel).

This “Big Bang Theory” spinoff opts for singlecamera format (no sitcom studio audience) to travel back to the childhood of 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper, played by “Big Little Lies” actor Iain Armitage (with adultSheldon voice-over from Jim Parsons). Hyper-gifted at academics but unable to read social cues, Sheldon endures a disastrous first day of high school, embarrassing both his older brother (Montana Jordan) and his dad (Lance Barber), who coaches the football team. Armitage is adorably watchable — so much so that we don’t really need Parsons’ voice to tidy up the stories.

Joanne Froggatt (“Downton Abbey’s” beloved Anna Bates) stars in this gripping six-episode British miniseries as Laura, a newly divorced teacher who goes on a dinner date with handsome surgeon Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd). Things go swimmingly until Laura wakes up the next morning with little memory of what occurred, other than the certainty she was raped — which Andrew denies when he’s arrested. “Liar” is a tangle of trigger alerts, filled with “Fatal Attraction”-ish moments of doubt and debate in a claustrophobically small community of subplots. The ending is, for the most part, worth it.

“Saturday Night Live’s” Jay Pharoah stars in this sharp dramedy as Floyd Mooney, a comedian who’s a hit with predominantly black audiences. But his agent (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and baby mama (Cleopatra Coleman) push Floyd to reach for mainstream projects that will, as the title of the show bluntly suggests, broaden his brand. Floyd’s encounters with industry elites, from Jamie Foxx to Michael Rapaport, aren’t here only to lambaste Hollywood for its racism. The microaggressions follow Floyd beyond showbiz, and the show deftly weaves them into a comically effective story.

After “The Handmaid’s Tale,” author Margaret Atwood’s big year in TV continues with this adaptation of her 1996 novel, based on the true story of a 19th-century Canadian housekeeper convicted of a double murder after a sensational trial. This six-episode series begins in 1866 as an American psychiatrist (Edward Holcroft) goes to Toronto to re-evaluate Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon) 15 years into her prison sentence. The story comes out in complex chunks and unsettling layers, as Grace recounts her immigrant childhood and the circumstances that led to her fate.

“John Wick: Chapter 3,” of the Keanu Reeves action series, to bow in May 2019

3 ‘Gaga: Five Foot Two’ Friday on Netflix

This documentary by Emmynominated director Chris Moukarbel is a raw look at a year in Lady Gaga’s life as the pop star records her latest album, “Joanne,” and gets real about her battle with chronic pain. (EXPRESS)

It’s not as if true crime TV shows are new. Remember “America’s Most Wanted”? It began in 1988! But true crime is definitely on a media roll in the 21st century, with a bevy of shows as well as podcasts like “Serial.” Now, of course, there’s a true crime spoof. It’s called “American Vandal” (now streaming on

Netflix) and is brought to you by the folks from the comedy website Funny or Die. The scene of the crime is Hanover High School in Oceanside, Calif., where 27 cars on the teacher parking lot are vandalized with spraypainted phalluses. (A crude four-letter word that begins with “D” is used repeatedly to refer to these images, but Express will not use it because we have our standards.)

“American Vandal” is a true crime spoof — but with very graphic graffiti.

But Maxwell says he’s innocent. Maybe the spray painter was ferret-faced honor student Alex Trimboli, who’s eager to indict Maxwell. Or maybe it was Spanish teacher Ms. Shapiro, trying to get back at Maxwell, whom she detests. To be honest, my first reaction to this show was: “Why should I care about a fake true crime?” But as the story unfolded, I couldn’t help but wonder who did it. So I guess I’m hooked. I hereby find “American Vandal” guilty of hijacking my brain and forcing it to watch even more hours of TV. Read Marc’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/muse

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll have good reason to say yes on many occasions, as the opportunities you’ll be offered are too good to pass up.

TODAY: Partly sunny skies remain in the forecast with a slight chance of a pop-up shower or two in the afternoon. Temperatures top out at about 80 to the mid-80s depending on exactly how much sun we get. As Jose edges a little closer to the mid-Atlantic coast, we should see winds stay up in the 5 to 10 mph range overnight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can win someone’s favor simply by doing what comes naturally, but the timing is most important. He or she has to be ready to notice you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may not want to be the center of attention, but there’s little you can do about that, one way or the other.

Kevin Hart took to Instagram to publicly apologize to his pregnant wife and his kids for what he described as a “bad error in judgment.” The comedian posted a video on Saturday in which he said he wasn’t perfect and there were “no excuses.” He said someone was trying to seek “financial gain” over his mistakes, and he’d rather confess. According to TMZ, someone filmed Hart engaging in “sexually suggestive” behavior with another woman — though TMZ noted it is not a sex tape — and has allegedly demanded money from Hart in exchange for not leaking the footage.
