Trump proposes ‘worldwide network’ to counter CNN overseas NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is raising the possibility of starting “our own Worldwide Network” to counter news spread internationally by CNN. Trump said via Twitter on Monday that CNN “has a powerful voice portraying the United States in an unfair and false way. Something has to be done.” It wasn’t immediately clear what he meant. The U.S. government already operates Voice of America, which last year reached some 275 million people worldwide with news reports from the United States available on television, radio, online and social media. CNN had no immediate comment about the new criticism by the president. The president has frequently criticized CNN and its reporters. His administration recently backed down from its effort to ban reporter Jim Acosta from the White House. It wasn’t known why he was focusing on CNN’s worldwide reach. CNN International is the most widely distributed television news network overseas, with BBC World News second. Trump said he wanted a worldwide network “to show the World the way we really are. GREAT!” The president’s favorite news network, Fox News Channel, is available in nearly 100 countries, although not distributed as widely as CNN. The president has complained about being in hotel rooms abroad and having no alternative to CNN. Voice of America, which began operating during World War II, is also determined to show the United States as it really is, but not through the prism of any particular political leader. The agency’s charter, signed into law in 1976, says VOA “will represent America, not any single segment of American society, and will therefore present a balanced and comprehensive projection of significant American thought and institutions.” Voice of America had no comment on the president’s tweet.

Borough votes to lease Anchor Point parcels to Hilcorp By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
At last week’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, the assembly voted to lease parcels in the Anchor Point area to Hilcorp for oil and gas subsurface rights. At the Oct. 23 assembly meeting, assembly member Willy Dunne took the ordinance off the consent agenda for further discussion in Anchor Point. The ordinance will lease oil and gas rights at 12.5 percent royalty, which is the minimum royalty under borough code. One of the lease areas is near Chapman Elementary School on a site that’s used as a solid waste and recycling transfer site. The well site will sit on land off of the Old Sterling Highway. At last Tuesday’s meeting, Dunne said he’s received a lot of feedback regarding the ordinance. “There still are problems with this,” Dunne said. “I’m not ready to support it in its current form. We heard lots of people talking about the inability to sleep at night because of the lights and the

Warm Alaska waters may be clue to fewer Humpback whale sightings By CALEB JONES Associated Press
HONOLULU — Researchers are convening this week to compare clues about a significant decline in the number of sightings of North Pacific humpback whales in their traditional breeding grounds off Hawaii. Fewer sightings doesn’t necessarily mean the iconic giants are dying off, or that they’re not still migrating to the islands. But the apparent disappearance of many whales from a historically predictable location is causing concern and some researchers believe there’s a link between warmer ocean temperatures in Alaska and the effect that has on the whales’ food chain. While scientists say it’s too early to draw any conclusions
Justices weigh free speech case involving ‘Arctic Man’ WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday waded into a freedom of speech case resulting from an arrest at Arctic Man, a snowmobile and ski race event that draws thousands to a remote campsite in Alaska. Justices heard arguments in a case with the potential to affect people who might sue police over claims they were arrested as retaliation for something they said or wrote that’s protected by the First Amendment. Justice Samuel Alito described the possible cases as ranging from someone who is arrested after insulting an officer arriving at the scene of a dispute to a journalist who writes a story critical of a police department and is later pulled over for speeding. Alaska resident Russell Bartlett was arrested at the 2014 Arctic Man, a dayslong event held annually in Alaska’s remote Hoodoo Mountains. See ARCTIC, page A3

Mayor’s chief of staff to join Ballot investigated Dunleavy administration in tied House race By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Alaska Gov.-elect Mike Dunleavy has offered Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Mayor’s Office chief of staff, John Quick, the position of commissioner for the Department of Administration. Quick said he interviewed for the position last week and received the news on Thanksgiving. “I was pleasantly surprised,” Quick said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity.” The Department of Administration provides centralized administrative services to state agencies in matters of finance, personnel, labor relations, leasing of space, central mail distribution, property management, risk management, procurement,

JUNEAU — State election officials said Monday they are trying to determine whether a ballot apparently marked for Democrat Kathryn Dodge in a tied state House race should be counted. The race between Dodge and Republican Bart LeBon was certified as a tie Monday. But Josie Bahnke, the director of the Division of Elections, told reporters the ballot could still be counted, based on an investigation into its origin. She said the ballot appears to have been marked for Dodge. It was in a bin with so-called questioned ballots though it was determined that the ballot itself was not a questioned ballot, she said. Voters in certain situations are asked to vote a questioned ballot, including if their name is not on the precinct register. They must fill
out an envelope, which their voted ballot is placed into. Information provided on the envelope is used to determine the voter’s eligibility. A recount is scheduled for Friday. Dodge and LeBon are vying to replace Fairbanks Democratic Rep. Scott Kawasaki, who won a state Senate seat. The outcome of the House race will be critical in deciding control of the chamber. LeBon said he has questions about how the ballot was handled. Questions about other ballots also could be raised during the recount, he said. He expects the results of the recount, should one of the two lose, to be challenged, he said. Bahnke said officials asked the precinct chair Monday for a written response to some questions and hope to speak with precinct workers about any recollections they have about the ballot.

‘Flawless’: NASA craft lands on Mars after perilous journey
tiny satellites that had been trailing InSight throughout the six-month, 300-million-mile journey. The two satellites not only transmitted the good news in almost real time, they also sent back InSight’s first snapshot of Mars just 4½ minutes after landing. The picture was speckled
with dirt because the dust cover was still on the lander’s camera, but the terrain around the spacecraft looked smooth and sandy with just one sizable rock visible — pretty much what scientists had hoped for. Better photos are expected in the days ahead, after the dust covers come off. It was NASA’s — indeed,
humanity’s — eighth successful landing at Mars since the 1976 Viking probes, and the first in six years. NASA’s Curiosity rover, which arrived in 2012, is still on the move on Mars. “Flawless,” declared JPL’s chief engineer, Rob Manning. “This is what we really hoped and imagined in our mind’s eye,” he added. “Sometimes things work out in your favor.” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, presiding over his first Mars landing as the space agency’s boss, said: “What an amazing day for our country.” InSight, a $1 billion international project, includes a German mechanical mole that will burrow down 16 feet to measure Mars’ internal heat. The lander also has a French seismometer for measuring quakes, if they exist on our smaller, geologically calmer neighbor. Another experiment will calculate Mars’ wobble to reveal the makeup of the planet’s core. “In the coming months and years even, history books will be rewritten about the interior of Mars,” said JPL’s director, Michael Watkins.
study , it is estimated that half of all North Pacific humpbacks make the journey to Hawaii each year, putting the total number of whales making the 6,000-mile round trip migration at around 11,000 annually. Most humpbacks were taken off the Endangered Species list in 2016 but are still federally protected. Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hope this week’s meetings will help them to form a consensus about what to do going forward to help ensure the species’ continued success. NOAA conducts research, creates federal regulations and enforces laws meant to protect the whales and their habitats. Marc Lammers, research coordinator for the agency’s Ha-
waiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, said different research groups have collected various data sets that all seem to point toward decreased whale sightings. “People started to report fewer sightings and there was concern about what might be going on,” Lammers said in a telephone interview. “We’ve noticed that there’s been basically a decrease in the overall acoustic energy levels that we’re picking up produced by humpback whale songs.” But there are many variables that are not yet fully understood, he said. The whales could have reached their environment’s capacity and the decrease could be a natural plateauing effect, or the humpbacks could be simply going to different areas that aren’t as
closely monitored, such as the uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. “We just know that we’re not seeing them in the same places that we’re expecting to see them,” he said. “Part of the key to their success and recovery is they tend to be quite adaptable. They follow a certain pattern but then they have variation from that pattern.” Many theories are being considered, including the possibility that warmer ocean temperatures are reducing food supplies in the north, said California State University, Channel Islands’ Rachel Cartwright, lead researcher at the Keiki Kohola Project. If the female whales are not getting enough food, they would be unable to ovulate and reproduce, she said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A NASA spacecraft designed to drill down into Mars’ interior landed on the planet Monday after a perilous, supersonic plunge through its red skies, setting off jubilation among scientists who had waited in white-knuckle suspense for confirmation to arrive across 100 million miles of space. Flight controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, leaped out of their chairs, screaming, dancing and hugging, upon learning that InSight had arrived on Mars, the graveyard for a multitude of previous missions. “Touchdown confirmed!” a flight controller called out just before 3 p.m. EST, instantly dispelling the anxiety that had gripped the control room as the spacecraft made its six-minute descent. Because of the distance between Earth and Mars, it took eight minutes for confirmation to arrive, relayed by a pair of

Researchers use a variety of monitoring methods to count the whales, including visual observations conducted aboard ships that follow specific coordinates and acoustic monitoring that listens for whale songs from fixed underwater locations. There is also a less scientifically rigorous count done each year where residents on shore report their sightings. The humpbacks traditionally migrate each autumn from Alaska, where they feed during the summer months, to Hawaii, where they mate and give birth during the winter. Based on the latest large-scale population

role Dec. 3 after serving the borough for a little over a year. He said the mayor will be revealing a plan for a new chief of staff very soon. “It’s been a pleasure serving the Kenai Peninsula Borough,” Quick said. “It was a phenomenal opportunity to serve the mayor. Now, I look forward to serving the governor.” Quick said despite the new position, he’s just a phone call away, and that his door is always open. Dunleavy also takes office Dec. 3. Among the appointments Dunleavy’s transition team announced Monday were Jason Brune as Environmental Conservation commissioner and Adam Crum as health commissioner. Dunleavy’s pick to lead the Department of Environmental Conservation has a resource development background. His pick for health commissioner is a workforce development company executive. Dunleavy, a Republican former state senator, said in a statement that the status quo “came to a screeching halt” with his election. He said his appointees with help deliver state services in “innovative ways.” Brune is a former executive director of the Resource Development Council who worked in public affairs for a former partner in the Pebble Mine project. He most recently has worked for the Alaska Native corporation Cook Inlet Region, Inc., as senior director of land and resources. Crum’s bio, released by Dunleavy’s transition, says he has degrees in psychology and public health. Crum told The Associated Press he is

News reported. Department spokeswoman Aurah Landau said Monday a desire to lower overtime costs led the department to adopt a regulation requiring payment of $1,000 per hour for snow removal after regular hours of maintenance crews. In Klawock, where a six-person crew maintains both roads and runways, workers ended their day at 1:30 p.m. Scott Van Valin, owner and director of operations for Island Air Express, the airport’s main carrier, and area elected officials appealed to Gov. Bill Walker. The department announced Nov. 5 that the fee will be reduced to $250 per hour per piece of snow removal equipment and the Klawock crew’s regular hours will be extended one hour. Van Valin called that “completely acceptable.” The fee change will apply to airports throughout the state. “Our pursuit not only helped operators in Klawock, but statewide,” Van Valin said.
not a “health care policy guy” but is experienced in putting together and leading teams and working on projects. He said there are talented people working in the state Department of Health and Social Services. Crum, who said he applied for the job, is executive vice president with Northern Industrial Training LLC. In his new role, he said a focus will be on “people, not programs,” to make sure services are provided to those who need them most. Dunleavy has said he wants to review the state’s Medicaid program to see if it’s sustainable. Becky Hultberg, president and CEO of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association, said it’s a bit unusual to hire someone who hasn’t worked directly in the industry. But she said the department is big and complex and requires a leader with strong management skills. If Crum has those skills and surrounds himself with people who understand the complexities of health care, she said he could be a strong leader. “I think we need to give him the benefit of the doubt,” said Hultberg, a former state commissioner of Administration who remembers being called inexperienced. She said her agency got things done because of the talent on her team. Dunleavy named Donna Arduin as his budget director. Arduin has worked with other Republican governors across the country, including as budget director for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. The three commissioner picks are subject to legislative confirmation. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Van Valin estimated that the Klawock runway might need after-hours clearing five to eight times between November and March. Medical evacuations and lifesaving operations will continue to receive full, immediate service at no additional charge, according to the department. The changes mean that some Prince of Wales road work will be diverted to the airport, according to the department. The crew oversees 355 lane miles of roadway and 19 lane miles of airport runway on the island. Van Valin said it’s unrealistic for the Klawock station to maintain so many road miles with just six people. The Klawock Airport is underfunded compared to similar state airports that also provide more than 10,000 boardings per year, he said. “We’re not asking for the world, just asking that Klawock be set up like every other airport in its class in the state,” he said. The matter will be taken up with the administration of Gov.-elect Mike Dunleavy. “As soon as the new governor gets settled, we are going to be knocking on his door,” Van Valin said.

. . . Arctic Continued from page A1
Chief Justice John Roberts noted that policing Arctic Man is a challenge. He described the event as “10,000 mostly drunk people in the middle of nowhere” and only a handful of Alaska troopers. The sides dispute whether Bartlett was drunk, but he was arrested for disorderly conduct after exchanging words with two troopers investigating underage drinking. Bartlett first declined to talk to one trooper and later loudly told a second to stop talking to a teenager. The charges against Bartlett were ultimately dismissed because of budgetary constraints. But Bartlett sued, claiming his arrest was retaliation for comments he made to the officers. A trial court dismissed Bartlett’s lawsuit, saying he was barred from suing because officers had reasonable grounds to arrest him. An appeals course re-

versed that decision. A ruling for Bartlett would make it easier to bring such cases, and on Monday several justices seemed interested in allowing at least some similar suits. Justice Stephen Breyer suggested what he called a compromise that would bar suits such as Bartlett’s when police have reasonable grounds for an arrest, unless there is “objective evidence” of retaliation. Among the groups supporting Bartlett are numerous First Amendment and media organizations, including The Associated Press. The case follows a similar one the justices heard last term involving a man arrested during a city council meeting in Riviera Beach, Florida. Like Bartlett, Fane Lozman claimed his arrest was retaliation, in his case for being an outspoken critic of the city. The court sided with Lozman, but the ruling doesn’t apply to a broad set of cases. The case is 17-1174, Nieves v. Bartlett.
borough can get some royalties. I’m surprised by the controversy on this.” Dunne ended the assembly comments, saying if the assembly voted the lease down it would not harm the borough. He said the borough could get a higher royalty percentage. “It’s absolutely not true that if we vote this down we lose it forever,” Dunne said. “We just need to come up with a better lease deal. Voting this down will not mean we don’t get revenue from that subsurface property. I think we can do better than 12.5 percent. Voting this down would not harm the borough at all. We need to get the best deal we can for the borough residents.” The assembly passed the ordinance 8-1, with Dunne being the only member opposed.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2018. There are 34 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 27, 1924, Macy’s first Thanksgiving Day parade -- billed as a “Christmas Parade” -- took place in New York. On this date: In 1901, the U.S. Army War College was established in Washington, D.C. In 1910, New York’s Pennsylvania Station officially opened. In 1942, during World War II, the Vichy French navy scuttled its ships and submarines in Toulon (too-LOHN’) to keep them out of the hands of German troops. In 1945, General George C. Marshall was named special U.S. envoy to China by President Harry S. Truman to try to end hostilities between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1962, the first Boeing 727 was rolled out at the company’s Renton Plant. In 1967, the Beatles album “Magical Mystery Tour” was released in the United States by Capitol Records. In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who’d resigned. In 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone (mahs-KOH’-nee) and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay-rights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White. (White served five years for manslaughter; he committed suicide in Oct. 1985.) In 1989, a bomb blamed on drug traffickers destroyed a Colombian Avianca Boeing 727, killing all 107 people on board and three people on the ground. In 1999, Northern Ireland’s biggest party, the Ulster Unionists, cleared the way for the speedy formation of an unprecedented Protestant-Catholic administration. In 2000, a day after George W. Bush was certified the winner of Florida’s presidential vote, Al Gore laid out his case for letting the courts settle the nation’s long-count election. In 2005, doctors in France performed the world’s first partial face transplant on a woman disfigured by a dog bite; Isabelle Dinoire received the lips, nose and chin of a brain-dead woman in a 15-hour operation. Ten years ago: Indian commandoes fought to wrest control of two luxury hotels and a Jewish center from militants, a day after a chain of attacks across Mumbai. Iraq’s parliament approved a pact requiring all U.S. troops to be out of the country by Jan. 1, 2012. Five years ago: In a short ceremony inside their Chicago apartment, Vernita Gray and her partner of five years, Patricia Ewert, made Illinois history as they became the first gay couple to wed under the state’s new law legalizing same-sex marriage. Rising anger over deadly drone attacks spurred a Pakistani political party to reveal the identity of what it said was the top U.S. spy in the country and demand he be tried for murder. A crane collapsed at a Sao Paulo stadium being constructed for the 2014 World Cup, killing two workers. One year ago: As he tried to bolster his support in the wake of a sexual harassment allegation, Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken apologized to “everyone who has counted on me to be a champion for women.” Authorities ordered a mass evacuation of people from an expanded danger zone around an erupting volcano on the Indonesian island of Bali; the eruption had closed the island’s international airport, stranding tens of thousands of travelers.

What Others Say
Immigration crisis is a humanitarian issue, not a political football Alaska’s congressional delegation
— along with all in Congress — should address the problem of migrant caravans, immigration and border security. It’s a humanitarian issue, which has far too long been a political pawn. Most of the immigrants wouldn’t leave their homes in other countries if life there offered security and opportunity. Folks like to be at home. Of course, some migrants have problems of their own; they’re criminals connected to drug cartels. That’s another aspect of the immigration crisis. Some in the caravans, and even some who had reached the U.S./Mexican border, have already returned home. Some by not being allowed asylum in the United States and others by choice. If Congress seriously wanted to deal with the problem — whether it’s the Democrat-controlled House or the Republican-dominated Senate — it would begin by setting a deadline. A hard deadline for a solution. In truth, some members of Congress do wish to address the concerns of this nation as it pertains to the issues mentioned above. But others simply want to be contrary. Both sides should agree to penalties to be imposed on themselves if they don’t reach a consensus by a deadline about how to handle the crisis in the best interests of all concerned. Then get to work on the solution or solutions. The first step in coming to resolution is to set a deadline. It needs to be both House and Senate leadership, working with the executive branch — preferably by giving their word and honoring it — committed to the deadline. Solutions come quickest when a deadline is set by honorable men and women. If they aren’t honorable, then Congress isn’t their rightful place.
Trump vs. Chief Justice Roberts
Chief Justice John Roberts has been drawn into President Trump’s web. Last week the president criticized the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, based in San Francisco, calling it “a lawless disgrace.” The New York Times writes, “Mr. Trump’s remarks came after a federal trial judge ordered the administration to resume accepting asylum claims from migrants no matter where or how they entered the United States.” The judge issuing the ruling was Jon S. Tigar, of the United States District Court in San Francisco, whom Trump quickly singled out as an “Obama judge.” This prompted a rare pushback from Chief Justice John Roberts, who said in a statement, “We do not have Obama judges, or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. The independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” The problem, as the president correctly sees it, is that the judiciary in too many cases appears to have become independent of the Constitution, making laws and reading liberal policies into the document that are not there. If all judges thought the same, as Roberts seems to suggest, why are there so many 5-4 rulings by the high court? Conservatives have long complained that liberal judges advance policies that would never get through Congress. Besides, if there are no Trump, Obama, Bush or Clinton judges, then why the battle over every candidate nominated by a Republi-
can president? Have we already forgotten the recent allout war mounted by the left against Justice Brett Kavanaugh? In a Thanksgiving Day tweet, the president claimed, Cal Thomas “…the 9th circuit has a horrible reputation. It is overturned more than any circuit in the country, 79 percent, & is used to get an almost guaranteed result…Judges must not legislate security and safety at the border or anywhere else. They know nothing about it and are making our country unsafe. Our great law enforcement professionals must be allowed to do their job! If not there will be only bedlam, chaos, injury and death. We want the Constitution as written.” In fact, the Ninth Circuit’s rulings are not the most overturned. According to data compiled by the U.S. Supreme Court blog, that particular distinction goes to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, which is in Ohio. But that last sentence is at the heart of a debate that has been going on at least since the 1960s, and centers on what standard should be used to interpret the Constitution. Does the Constitution speak for itself, or does it say only what judges say it says, as the late Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes contended a century ago? The president is on solid footing when
he argues to preserve the prerogatives of his office. In 1950, the Supreme Court said, “The exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty … inherent in the executive power.” Congress increased that power in 1952, passing legislation declaring the president “may by proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens and any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants whenever he thinks it would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” President Truman vetoed the measure, but Congress overrode him. It is the standard that ought to be employed today. This debate is more than a legal squabble between politicians and judges with differing points of view. It is about the character and makeup of our country and whether we who are now living will bequeath to our descendants something resembling what our predecessors passed to us. Most immigrants in the past wanted to learn English, embrace the culture and become fully American, not hyphenated Americans with agendas and policies brought from their homelands. The back and forth between President Trump and Chief Justice Roberts has brought the real issue to the forefront again where it is likely to remain through the next election and, depending on the outcome, for elections after that until it is resolved either to the benefit or detriment of the nation.

In brief 7 nooses found by Mississippi Capitol before Senate runoff JACKSON, Miss. — State and federal investigators are trying to find out who hung seven nooses in trees outside the Mississippi Capitol early Monday, a day before a U.S. Senate runoff that has focused attention on the state’s history of racist violence. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety says the nooses were accompanied by handwritten signs referring to Tuesday’s election as well as to lynchings — most of them in the state’s turbulent past, but also one recent case that remains under investigation, of a black man whose body was found hanging in central Mississippi. The department posted photos of the signs on social media and sought information about them from the public. One sign referred to the Tuesday runoff between appointed Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who is white, and Democrat Mike Espy, who is black. The sign also read: “We need someone who respects the lives of lynch victims.” Another sign read: “We’re hanging nooses to remind people that times haven’t changed.”
Dictionary.com chooses ‘misinformation’ as word of the year NEW YORK — Misinformation, as opposed to disinformation, was chosen Monday as Dictionary.com’s word of the year on the tattered coattails of “toxic,” picked earlier this month for the same honor by Oxford Dictionaries in these tumultuous times. Jane Solomon, a linguist-in-residence at Dictionary, said in a recent interview that her site’s choice of “mis” over “dis” was deliberate, intended to serve as a “call to action” to be vigilant in the battle against fake news, flat earthers and anti-vaxxers, among other conduits. It’s the idea of intent, whether to inadvertently mislead or to do it on purpose, that the Oakland, California-based company wanted to highlight. The company decided it would go high when others have spent much of 2018 going low. — Associated Press

Mueller: Ex-Trump campaign chair lied, broke plea agreement By CHAD DAY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller is accusing former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort of lying to federal investigators in the Russia probe in breach of his plea agreement, an extraordinary allegation that could expose Manafort to a lengthier prison sentence — and potentially more criminal charges. The torpedoing of Manafort’s plea deal, disclosed in a court filing Monday, also results in Mueller’s team losing a witness from the top of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign who was present for several key episodes under investigation. That includes a Trump Tower meeting involving Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer he was told had derogatory information on Democrat Hillary Clinton. In the new filing, Mueller’s team said that after Manafort agreed to truthfully cooperate with the investigation, he “committed federal crimes” by ly-
ing about “a variety of subject matters.” Prosecutors said they will detail the “nature of the defendant’s crimes and lies” in writing at a later date to the judge. Through his attorneys, Manafort denied lying, saying he “believes he provided truthful information” during a series of sessions with Mueller’s investigators. He also disagreed that he breached his plea agreement. Still, both sides now agree they can’t resolve the conflict, and U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson should set a date to sentence him. Manafort, who remains jailed, had been meeting with the special counsel’s office since he pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to obstruct justice. He cut that deal to head off a second trial after being convicted last summer of eight felony counts related to millions of dollars he hid from the IRS in offshore accounts. Both cases stemmed from his Ukrainian political work and undisclosed lobbying work he admitted to carrying out
in the U.S. in violation of federal law. As part of his plea agreement, Manafort pledged to “cooperate fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly” with the government “in any and all matters” prosecutors deemed necessary. He also forfeited many of his rights as well as his ability to withdraw the plea deal if he broke any of the terms. In return, prosecutors agreed to not bring additional charges against him and to ask a judge for a reduction of his sentence if he provided “substantial assistance.” But with prosecutors saying he breached the agreement, Manafort now faces serious repercussions such as the possibility of prosecution on additional charges, including those prosecutors dropped when he made the deal. Manafort already faces up to five years in prison on the two charges in his plea agreement. In his separate Virginia case, Manafort’s potential sentencing under federal guidelines has not yet been calculated, but prosecutors have previously said he could face as much as 10 years in prison on those charges.

Texans honor McNair by winning 8th straight HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans wanted to honor their late owner and founder Robert “Bob” McNair, who died last week at age 81. They knew the perfect way to do that Monday night was to keep their winning streak going. Deshaun Watson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Texans set a franchise record with their eighth straight victory, 3417 over the Tennessee Titans. “The one thing Mr. McNair wanted was a winner,” J.J. Watt said. “All he wanted was a winner. He wanted to win every week. He wanted a team that could win and bring a championship to this city. So to be able to win eight straight and to be able to win to-
night for him was good, and we’re going to try to keep doing that for him.” Demaryius Thomas scored his first two touchdowns with Houston and Lamar Miller ran for 162 yards, including a 97-yard TD. The Texans (8-3) also saluted McNair by wearing decals in the shape of a football with white block letters bearing his initials of “RCM.” With that tribute on the back of their helmets, they became the first team in NFL history to win eight games in a row after starting 0-3. They lead the AFC South by two games over Indianapolis. “We need to try and keep getting better,” coach Bill O’Brien said. “We need to take the mantra that we’re go-
ing to improve every day.” The Texans trailed by 10 early before reeling off 27 straight points. Houston receiver DeAndre Hopkins said there was no panic after the team fell behind in the first quarter. “We’ve been down 0-3 as a record, so being down 10-0 on the board is nothing to this team,” he said. Tennessee (5-6) finally scored again on a 48-yard reception by Corey Davis late in the third quarter, but the second TD by Thomas — this one for 10 yards — made it 34-17 with just more than eight minutes left. Marcus Mariota, who missed the second half of last week’s game with a stinger, was 22 of 23 for 303 yards and two touchdowns. He completed
his first 19 passes before an incompletion with just more than a minute remaining. Miller’s 97-yard breakaway in the second quarter made it 21-10. It was the longest run in franchise history and the longest in the NFL since his dash of the same length for a touchdown on Dec. 28, 2014, with the Dolphins. He’s the only player in league history with two career rushing touchdowns of 95 yards or longer. The Titans went ahead 3-0 on their first possession, and Jonnu Smith had a career-long 61-yard catch-and-run touchdown that extended their lead less than halfway through the first quarter. Houston got going after that, cut-
ting the lead to 10-7 when Thomas grabbed his first touchdown since being traded from Denver on Oct. 30, a 12-yard grab with about six minutes left in the quarter. Watson put the Texans on top when he scrambled 15 yards for a score on the first play of the second quarter. The Titans went for it on fourthand-inches from the 3 later in the second, but tight end Luke Stocker was stopped for no gain. “If you look at their goal-line defense and having a lot of good knowledge of what they do on the goal line, that’s one play that had worked,” Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel said. “It didn’t work tonight and that’s not the reason that we lost. That’s a bad play.”
Harden’s 54 points fail to move Rockets past Wizards By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — John Wall scored a season-high 36 points, including six in overtime, and the Washington Wizards overcame James Harden’s season-best 54 points to outlast the Houston Rockets 135-131 on Monday night. Wall had two baskets in the extra period and finished with 11 assists. Bradley Beal equaled his season high with 32 points for the Wizards. WARRIORS 116, MAGIC 110 OAKLAND, Calif. — Kevin Durant scored a season-high 49 points, giving Golden State the lead on a three-point play with
1:19 left before hitting a 3-pointer with 22 seconds remaining to send the Warriors past Orlando. Durant topped his 44-point performance two nights earlier with another brilliant outing on both ends — and Klay Thompson was his scoring sidekick once more as the two-time defending NBA champions played without injured All-Stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
Jayson Tatum, who scored 20, threw down a right-handed dunk while being fouled by Davis with 2:26 left, at which point Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry began subbing out starters and fans started filing out, resigned to just New Orleans’ second loss in 10 home games this season.

Adult children fail to warm to stepdad of eight years 30th wedding anniversary and went away for a long weekend. Late in the second day, my wife said, “Don’t get mad at me, but a guy who works for me asked me to bring him a souvenir.” Then she told me she didn’t want to get me involved. My question is, why wouldn’t she mention it at the start of the trip and instead bring it up two days Abigail Van Buren into our getaway? It makes me feel like she was thinking of him on our anniversary. Am I reading too much into this, or should I be concerned? By the way, I wouldn’t think of another woman -- co-worker or not -- during a getaway with my wife. -- UNSURE IN THE WEST DEAR UNSURE: Please stop worrying. If you and your bride have had a happy marriage for 30 years, I’m guessing that on your special day, she was thinking about how lucky the two of you are to have had three blessed decades together. If she had anything to hide, she wouldn’t have
mentioned the souvenir. I’m guessing she brought it up because she didn’t want to forget she had agreed to bring something and come home emptyhanded. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of 12 years worries me. He’s a man who wants life to be like he wants it to be, not like it is. He thinks everyone owes him a discount on whatever he’s buying. He can talk for what seems like a month, and while he never really lies, he never exactly tells the truth. This puts a huge strain on our relationship. I love him, but I don’t trust him. I have caught him in many discrepancies. When confronted, he sometimes will own up to them. What should I do? -- NERVOUS IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR NERVOUS: I think in your heart you already know what you should do. If you can’t trust someone, there is no basis for a meaningful relationship. I wish you had written me about this 11 1/2 years ago, when ending the romance would have been less painful. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2018: This year you will be unusually upbeat and lucky. You are starting a new luck cycle, which lasts for 11 years. The first year is the most fortunate. Use some of this energy to focus on a high-priority goal. If you are single, you will have the opportunity to meet many potential suitors. If you are attached, this year might be unusually significant to your relationship. You will create a new beginning between you and your partner. LEO beams when he or she sees your year flow with caring and happiness. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your style is direct and forceful. At the moment, someone could greet your ideas very positively and feel lucky to know you. To avoid intimidating others, limit your high energy. Guide a loved one; help him or her complete an important project. Tonight: So many options. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH With the best intentions, you aim your focus on your personal life. You and another party might have a contested moment or two over a joint investment. Listen to different opinions, and you will make a better choice as a result. Ask for feedback, if need be. Tonight: Say “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You always have a way with words. Today, your verbal skills are exceptional. Try the impossible. Pose that important question. Ask for that raise. However, be willing to let others take the lead for now. Clearly,
Rubes
a partner is supportive of you. Tonight: Stop at a favorite hangout. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your emotions might be close to the surface. You also might not feel good about what you’re hearing. However, keep in mind that a territorial or possessive attitude is unlikely to work in your favor. Focus on your daily routine for now. Tonight: Another great day for exercise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH The Moon in your sign highlights your positive, charismatic personality and unusual resilience. You refuse to take others too seriously, even when they think that their words are very heavy and crucial. Don’t give in to someone else’s ultimatum. Tonight: Frolic the night away. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might feel a lot of pressure. You know how to be discreet, and right now, that skill is important. A family member could become such a handful that you are likely to be exhausted just being in his or her presence. You feel more relaxed at home. Tonight: Cozy up with a book. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You cannot seem to get a moment of privacy. You might find that your friends and associates want you with them or, at the very least, near them. Find pleasure in the experience; periods like this are infrequent. Ask a loved one for feedback. Tonight: Say what you’re feeling. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might feel as though you don’t know which side of a boss’s personality is likely to dominate on any given day, and that seems to be
By Leigh Rubin
Ziggy
especially true today. Make the most of your time with an outrageous but fun-loving loved one. Tonight: Allow others to seek you out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have entered a special period. You might be unusually responsive to a call from a loved one at a distance. The more detached you become, the better your decisions could be. Take some time to work on a heartfelt project. Tonight: Find a reason to celebrate with loved ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH A loved one has a lot to share. You’ll want to listen carefully to what this person has to say; as a result, you finally might realize how important he or she is to you. At this time, you might not need to speak your mind, but eventually you will. Tonight: Live it up with a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You cannot help but respond to a loved one’s overture. You could be surprised by how much you want to say “thank you” to this person in a meaningful way. Consider taking off for the day with a close loved one; you’ll be happier as a result. Tonight: Let others call the shots. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You have a lot on your plate. Dive right in; this week, you will want to clear out the majority of your work early. You have too much energy to contain. Know that this energy could transform into frustration if you’re not careful. Maintain a steady pace. Tonight: Run some errands. Born today Musician Jimi Hendrix (1942), actor Bruce Lee (1940), actress Robin Givens (1964)
A giving day Dear Readers: Today is GIVING TUESDAY, a newer offshoot of the holiday gifting and shopping season, which includes Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

Maybe your office has a program set up for giving, but here are some things you can do on your own: * Volunteer at a hospital, nursing home, school or shelter (homeless or pet). * Write a check to your favorite charity. * Clean out that closet and give in-season clothes to people who can use them. Giving of yourself is a great feeling, and it can put things into perspective. Even a small gift can help people and animals. Check out www.givingtuesday.org, and use the hashtag #GivingTuesday to connect with others and share your experiences. -- Heloise NEWSPAPER BAGS Dear Heloise: In our Oct. 9 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, there was a list of uses for newspaper delivery bags. No. 1 should be: Save the bags and return them to your paper carrier. I roll ours on a paper towel core, secure with a rubber band and place in the newspaper box. The carriers reuse the bags. PICTURE IT ... Dear Readers: If you’re lucky enough to receive gorgeous jewelry, art, expensive electronics and computer equipment as gifts for the holidays, shoot video on your phone of your valuable property for insurance purposes. Use the audio to note each item’s replacement value. Call your insurance provider for the specific requirements, in case you need to make a claim in the future. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I was married for 19 years and have three adult daughters from that marriage. I remarried eight years ago to a woman who has two adult children. My relationship with them is not good, in spite of my efforts to engage them in basic conversation. She told me recently that neither one of them likes me. In fact, she has suggested I just say hello and goodbye and leave it at that. I’m not sure what I am supposed to do with this information. I don’t think at this point in my life (age 66) I’m interested in changing myself to coax anybody to like me. I’m irritated with my wife for telling me her kids don’t like me. If any of my daughters said, “I don’t like your wife,” I wouldn’t mention it to her because I know she wouldn’t want to go with me to visit them. My desire to visit either of her kids is now nonexistent. Your thoughts? -- UNLIKED IN OHIO DEAR UNLIKED: I think it is interesting that your wife didn’t tell you WHY her children don’t like you, or if she did, that you didn’t elaborate. Under the circumstances, your reaction is understandable, so stay home and enjoy yourself while your wife visits them. If you do, I suspect you will all be happier. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I just celebrated our

Pets Couple proposes naming lake for dog that died in landslide SITKA (AP) — The Sitka Historic Preservation Commission will consider backing a proposal to name a lake for a beloved dog that died as the small body of water was created by a landslide. Kevin Knox and Maggie Gallin have applied to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names to designate the 1-acre body of water as “Luna Lake,� the Sitka Sentinel reported, after their 11-year-old border collie, Luna. The landslide killed Luna and nearly killed the couple. Knox, Gallin and Luna on May 12, 2013, were camping at a U.S. Forest Service cab-
in at the east end of Redoubt Lake. Knox was outside the cabin and heard a rumble that sounded like a jet engine. He looked up and saw the hillside above sliding his way. He yelled for his wife to run. The last time he saw Luna, she was nipping at his heels as he ran from the path of the slide, he said. Knox and Gallin ended up in the lake under trees. The couple searched for three hours without finding Luna. They returned several times, once with a search and rescue dog and handler. Luna had been with Knox since she was 9 months old and

had seen him through the loss of his father in 2006 and the illness and death of his former wife, Beth Peterman, in 2009. “For a long time Luna was the hub of my family,� Knox said. “I’d been through a lot with her.� Gallin met Knox when he needed a dog-sitter and they started dating a year later. The landslide blocked a
small stream and created the new, small lake. After revisiting the site, Knox and Gallin thought naming it after Luna would be an appropriate tribute. “It’s not as big as it was when it first formed but it’s still there,� Knox said. Naming a landmark is challenging. The U.S. Forest Service, Sealaska Heritage and

proposal but want to research precedents elsewhere before voting. The proposal will come up again at a December meeting, Littlefield said. Knox and Gallin said the 2013 landslide is unforgettable. “It’s still fresh in our minds,� Gallin said. “It’s not something you ever forget. It changes your relationship with the earth, and your sense of stability.�

Sealaska Corp. will also weigh in on the proposal. The state historical commission also will seek comment from the public. Roberta Littlefield, chairwoman of the Sitka Historic Preservation Commission, said Friday that state regulation protocols discourage the naming of geographical locations after pets. Members of the Sitka commission, she said, favor the

Meet Bass This sweet little girl takes a while to get to know you. She is a climber and will need a secure yard. She needs a home where she will no longer have to be stuck at the end of a chain but rather have someone who is willing to be patient with her to help her gain confidence as a dog again. She is so sweet once she knows she can trust you.
