In the news Arctic sea ice shrinks to sixth lowest level C

NEW YORK (AP) — Ice in Arctic seas shrank this summer to the sixth lowest level in 36 years of monitoring. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported Monday that the ice reached its seasonal minimum on Sept. 17 of 1.94 million square miles. That’s down a bit from 2013, but not near as low as the record-setting 2012. It is still 19 percent below average. Scientists are concerned about the ice melting from man-made global warming because the melting may change the weather further south. Studies have linked the ice melting to changes in the jet stream, which can produce extreme weather. Meanwhile, ice in Antarctic waters is hitting record high levels. Scientists attribute that to local climatic conditions.

After more than two years since his indictment, a trial date has been set in the case against Frank Roach, organizer of the nonprofit Alaska Veterans Outreach Boxes for Heroes. The Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals alleges Roach did not use the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated by Alaskans to Boxes for Heroes to create care packages for U.S. troops overseas, but instead used the money to support his lifestyle and pay his employees. In a status hearing Monday, Kenai Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman set Roach’s trial date for Dec. 15. Roach participated in the hearing telephonically, as did defense attorney Andrew Miller and prosecution with OSPA, Assistant Attorney General Robert Henderson. Roach was charged with scheme to defraud, first-degree theft and seven counts of second-degree theft and arraigned on May 8, 2012. The state is pursuing the same charges for Boxes for Heroes. Last August, OSPA opposed

Judge rules in Alaska Native voting case By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — A federal judge on Monday ordered the state to take additional steps to provide voting materials to Alaska Native voters with limited English for the upcoming election. U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ordered the state to distribute translated announcements to be read on radio that include information on early voting, races and initiatives on the November ballot.

The state, among other things, must make available on its website translations of election material in Yup’ik dialects and provide to outreach workers translations of such things as candidate statements, initiative summaries and pro and con statements on the initiatives. The Division of Elections also is to provide translations to the plaintiffs in the case to get their input. The division is to increase to at least 30 the number of hours which outreach workers may

‘The court is very much intent on making sure that there’s equal access to the information on the ballot, and that was the core of the case and we’re pretty happy.’ — Natalie Landreth, plaintiffs’ attorney be paid; the state had proposed increasing the number to 30 hours. The plaintiffs, in an earlier filing, said outreach workers in the past were authorized

to work five hours. Buttons for poll workers in the three census areas affected by the case — Dillingham, Wade-Hampton and Yukon-

Koyukuk — are to say “Can I help?” translated into Yup’ik or Gwich’in, with posters in those languages and English stating how voters can request help in casting their ballots. The lawsuit brought by several Native villages alleged the state had failed to provide accurate, complete translations of voting materials in Native languages. The state argued it had taken reasonable steps to implement standards for voting materials for non-English See VOTING, page A-8

TV reporter quits on Study links changing winds air to promote pot to warming in Pacific Ocean By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A television reporter quit her job on live TV with a big four-letter flourish after revealing she owns a medical marijuana business and intends to press for legalization of recreational pot in Alaska. After reporting on the Alaska Cannabis Club on Sunday night’s broadcast, KTVA’s Charlo Greene identified herself as the business’s owner. “Everything you’ve heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all my energy toward fighting for freedom and for fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska,” she said during the late Sunday evening newscast.

“And as for this job, well not that I have a choice, but f--- it, I quit.” She then walked off camera. KTVA News Director Bert Rudman apologized for Greene’s “inappropriate language” and said she was terminated in statements Sunday. He apologized again Monday, this time for Greene’s ethical lapses. “She had a personal and business stake in the issue she was reporting, but did not disclose that interest to us,” Rudman said in a statement. “At KTVA we strive to live up to the highest journalistic standards of fairness and transparency. Sunday’s breach of those standards is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated,” he See QUIT, page A-8

A new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of North America over the past century closely followed natural changes in the wind, not increases in greenhouse gases related to global warming. The study compared ocean surface temperatures from 1900 to 2012 to surface air pressure, a stand-in for wind measurements, and found a close match. “What we found was the somewhat surprising degree to which the winds can exC

plain all the wiggles in the temperature curve,” said lead author Jim Johnstone, who did the work while a climatologist at the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington. “So clearly, there are other factors stronger than the greenhouse forcing that is affecting those temperatures,” he added. The study released by the online edition of the peerreviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences does not question global warming, but argues there is evidence that in at least one place, local winds are a more important factor

explaining ocean warming than greenhouse gases. It was greeted with skepticism by several mainstream climate scientists, who questioned how the authors could claim changes in wind direction and velocity were natural and unrelated to climate change. They pointed out that the study sees a correlation but did not do the rigorous statistical and computer analysis to show that the cause of the wind changes were natural — the kind of analysis done when scientists attribute weather extremes to global warming. “This may say more about See WINDS, page A-8

Bear suspected to have killed hiker By DAVID PORTER Associated Press

WEST MILFORD, N.J. — A black bear believed to have attacked and killed a hiker over the weekend likely was looking for food and was circling the victim’s body when sheriff’s officers and wildlife officials killed it, officials said Monday. The approximately 300-pound male bear was killed with two rifle blasts and is being examined at a state lab for more clues as to why it may have pursued the group of five hikers, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection said at a news conference. Killed was Darsh Patel, 22, of Edison, who had come to the Apshawa Preserve, about 45 miles northwest

of New York City, on Sunday with four friends. State and local officials stressed that bear attacks are rare even in a region of the state that may have as many as 2,400 bruins in its dense forests. DEP spokesman Larry Ragonese said the attack was the first fatal bear-human encounter on record in New Jersey. “This is a rare occurrence,” West Milford police Chief Timothy Storbeck said, noting that his department receives six to 12 calls per week regarding bears, usually involving them breaking into trash cans. According to Storbeck, the five friends noticed the bear beginning to follow them and ran, splitting up as they did. When they couldn’t find Patel, they called police, who found his body about two hours later.

The bear was about 30 yards from the body and circling, Storbeck said, and wouldn’t leave even after officers tried to scare it away by making loud noises and throwing sticks and stones. Kelcey Burguess, principal biologist and leader of the state Division of Fish and Wildlife’s black bear project, said the bear could have been predisposed to attack but more likely was looking for food, particularly since wildlife officials believe there is a current shortage of the acorns and berries that bears eat. The hikers had granola bars and water with them, Storbeck said. The bear had not been tagged and therefore was not known to state wildlife officials, Ragonese said. Officials don’t believe the

hikers provoked the bear but they may have showed their inexperience when they decided to run. The safest way to handle a bear encounter is to move slowly and not look the bear in the eye, Ragonese said. Laurie Coyle, who said she just moved into a neighborhood that borders the preserve, hadn’t heard about the bear attack. “It’s shocking and it’s so sad,” she said Monday as she sat in her car at the entrance to the preserve. “I take the kids here after school for exercise. It’s really scary.” Ragonese said bear-human encounters in New Jersey have slowly decreased in recent years, likely due to the DEP’s introduction of a state-sponsored bear hunt and efforts to educate the public on how not to attract the bruins.

Drill sergeant pleads guilty to sex assaults FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri drill sergeant charged with sexually assaulting eight female soldiers pleaded guilty Monday to three charges at the outset of his court-martial. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Army Staff Sgt. Angel M. Sanchez, 30, offered the plea before the start of the military judicial hearing.

Sanchez is accused of using his supervisory position with the 14th Military Police Brigade to threaten some of the women he was tasked with training. The incidents reportedly took place in the bathroom of the female barracks as well as in an office shared by drill sergeants. Most of the allegations involved women at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, but some in-

Sanchez also served one tour in Iraq, where he earned a Bronze Star and two other combat medals before arriving at the Missouri post in August 2013. Sanchez remains accused of two dozen violations involving sexual assault and abusive sexual contact. Several additional accusations against Sanchez

were dismissed after a pretrial hearing. Ernesto Gapasin, Sanchez’s attorney, said before the plea that the dismissals signaled an overzealous prosecution. “I do believe the government has serious issues with the credibility of witnesses,” he said. “I think that manifested itself in all the charges that were dismissed.”

Obituary Richard Voss Long time Alaskan Richard Voss, 77, died Tuesday, September 16, 2014, in Soldotna, with his wife, Diane, and a close friend by his side. Richard was born April 17, 1937 in San Luis Obispo, California, to Roy Voss and Bernis Brown Voss. The Voss family moved to Petaluma, California, where graduated from Petaluma High School in 1954 and began his career as a Teamster, primarily driving a propane tanker. He lived in Petaluma until moving to Alaska in 1972. Richard’s love of Alaska began on a hunting trip with his father in 1970. He returned to California with the goal of learning to fly and moving to Alaska to pursue his love of hunting and fishing. That goal was accomplished when he flew his first private plane to Alaska in 1972. His Teamster career continued in Alaska, primarily as a “stringing” truck driver on the North Slope. Richard retired in 1993 after back surgery. During his recovery he began a hobby, collecting and refurbishing old tin lithographed toys and trains. The hobby eventually led to a booth at Pack Rat Antiques. He lived in both Anchorage and Soldotna, finally settling in Soldotna in 2003 when he and Diane had a home built on Denise Lake. In his retirement he continued his love of flying, hunting and fishing. He flew his 1955 SuperCub until shortly before his death. His home was a showcase of trophies from his hunts in the Lower 48 and Alaska as well as his favorite tin toys and trains. Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Bernis Voss. He is survived by his wife, Diane Carlow of Soldotna; daughters Lynn Voss of Petaluma, California and Lori (Dino) Grossi of Penngrove, California; step-daughter Nancy (Mark) McQueen of Anchorage; brothers David (Kathryn) Voss of Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Jerry Voss of Watsonville, California; and grandchildren Mario and Christine Grossi, Kayla Voss, and Elizabeth and Kathleen McQueen. Richard’s family would like to thank all the physicians, health care workers and especially the many dear friends who have helped and supported him over the last six years. At his request, no services will be held. His ashes are to be returned to California. Condolences may be sent to the family at P.O. Box 2918, Soldotna, AK 99669.

Maven enters Mars orbit, India probe next By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Next up, India. With NASA’s Maven spacecraft safely in orbit around Mars, the spotlight shifts to India’s first mission to the red planet. The Indian spacecraft is due to slip into Martian orbit Tuesday night (Wednesday morning in India.) It’s India’s first interplanetary mission, and no nation has been fully successful getting to the red planet on its first try. There have been more than three dozen attempts, and more than half of them have failed. So U.S. scientists were relieved when Maven reached its destination after a 442 millionmile journey that began nearly a year ago. It joined three spacecraft, two American and one European, orbiting Mars. “I think my heart’s about ready to start again,” Maven’s chief investigator, Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado, said early Monday. “All I can say at this point is, ‘We’re in orbit at Mars, guys!’” Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying the Martian upper atmosphere and the latest step in NASA’s bid to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Flight controllers in Colorado will spend the next six weeks adjusting Maven’s altitude and checking its science instruments, and observing a comet streaking by at relatively close range. Then in early November, Maven will start probing the upper atmosphere of Mars. The spacecraft will conduct its observations from orbit; it’s not meant to land. Scientists believe the Martian atmosphere holds clues as

to how Earth’s neighbor went from being warm and wet billions of years ago to cold and dry. That early wet world may have harbored microbial life, a tantalizing question yet to be answered. Jakosky, who’s with the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, hopes to learn where all the water on Mars went, along with the carbon dioxide that once comprised an atmosphere thick enough to hold moist clouds. The gases may have been stripped away by the sun early in Mars’ existence, escaping into the upper atmosphere and out into space. Maven’s observations should be able to extrapolate back in time, he said. NASA launched Maven last November from Cape Canaveral, the 10th U.S. mission sent to orbit the red planet. Three earlier ones failed. Maven — short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission — will spend at least a year collecting data. India’s Mangalyaan probe was also launched that month, and Jakosky said Monday its arrival at Mars was eagerly awaited. India would become the fourth space program to reach Mars after the Soviet Union, the U.S. and Europe. “We’re hoping for their success,” he said. “We’re sending

them the best wishes from the entire Maven team.” Indian officials have said the mission is chiefly a demonstration of technology. The spacecraft’s instruments will gather data to help scientists study Martian weather systems and what happened to the ancient water. It will also look for methane, a key chemical in life processes on Earth that could also come from geological processes. Maven, meanwhile, will have a rare brush with a comet next month. The nucleus of newly discovered Comet Siding Spring will pass 82,000 miles from Mars on Oct. 19. The risk of comet dust damaging Maven is low, officials said, and the spacecraft should be able to observe Siding Spring as a science bonus. Lockheed Martin Corp., Maven’s maker, is operating the

mission from its control center at Littleton, Colorado. Two NASA rovers are on the Mars surface. Just this month, Curiosity rover arrived at its prime science target, a mountain named Sharp, ripe for drilling. The Opportunity rover is also still active a decade after landing. More landers will be on the way in 2016 and 2018 from NASA and the European and Russian space agencies. The next U.S. rover is scheduled for launch in 2020; it will collect samples for possible return to Earth, and attempt to produce oxygen from atmospheric carbon dioxide. That latter experiment, if successful, would allow future human explorers to live off the land, according to NASA’s John Grunsfeld, head of science missions and a former astronaut. “This really is a quest of humanity,” he said.

What Others Say

A time and place for police to use military equipment For hundreds of Interior commuters

What Jack Ma can re-teach America

In the fairy tale “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,” Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, is in the forest when he hears a group of robbers approaching on horseback. Afraid, he climbs a tree and hears one of the men say, “open sesame.” A door opens in a rock and the men go in, the door shutting behind them when another says, “close sesame.” When they leave, Ali Baba climbs down and approaches the rock. He says, “open sesame” and it opens for him. Inside he discovers jewels and gold, which he takes, becoming rich himself. Jack Ma is the founder of the Chinese Internet retailer Alibaba. According to The New York Times, Alibaba is “the world’s largest Internet commerce company, with 231 million active buyers using its site, 11.3 billion annual orders and $296 billion in annual merchandise sales.” Its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange established its value at $168 billion, 2-1/2 times the size of eBay. But, unlike the fairy tale Ali Baba, Jack Ma is no thief. He has, however, “borrowed” from American ideals we seem to have forgotten in an age of envy, greed and entitlement. Incredibly, he has become a success in communist China, an unlikely place to find such principles practiced. While there are legitimate concerns over how the Chinese government might capture and use credit card numbers and other information that flows through Alibaba’s website, the philosophy Jack Ma embraced on his road to success is straight from an older and nearly forgotten America.

in West Fairbanks on Tuesday morning, the standoff between police officers and an armed man threatening to kill himself and potentially harm others was a nuisance that closed roads and extended their drive to work, in some cases by as much as an hour. For the law enforcement officials at the scene, it was a lifethreatening experience — and also one of their regular duties. Much has been made of the militarization of police departments across the country, as departments have received surplus military equipment, weapons and vehicles for pennies on the dollar. Citizen concerns over that militarization bore fruit last month, as officers in Ferguson, Missouri, tear-gassed protesters and stood in tank-like Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles with military weapons. The disproportionate response to a group of largely unarmed citizens who were already upset about police actions turned what was already a dangerous situation into a firestorm and raised doubts about both police accountability and progress in race relations. In the recent standoff here in Fairbanks, we had the opportunity to see military-style equipment used by law enforcement for a legitimate purpose. Officers at the scene of the standoff Tuesday were seen wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, and Alaska State Troopers deployed their “Bearcat” tactical vehicle — a military-style machine that resembles a cross between an up-armored Humvee and an MRAP. Unlike in Ferguson, this considered use of militaristic gear wasn’t a provocation, but rather an attempt to protect the officers involved — and through that protection, to reduce the odds that Michael Bracht, the man at the center of the standoff, would himself be killed. Officer-involved shootings are diverse in nature, but one common thread running through many is that police fire on suspects when they believe themselves or others to be in mortal danger. In using the Bearcat vehicle, officers were able to breach the vehicle with a ram mounted to the bumper without sending their members into harm’s way, and the vehicle also gave them cover when Mr. Bracht emerged from the vehicle with a handgun. Had there been officers on foot and close at hand for the operation, there would have been a much higher likelihood that Mr. Bracht’s sometimes erratic actions might have triggered a burst of fire. The public is right to closely monitor the adoption of military gear and tactics by the police — the two entities are separately controlled, have vastly different missions and should remain that way. The situations in which it’s appropriate for police to deploy as a paramilitary entity are rare, and the decision to do so should By STEVEN R. HURST be carefully considered and used only to the extent necessary. Associated Press But we saw one of those situations on Tuesday, and it’s a tribute to the restraint and professionalism of our local law UNITED NATIONS — As world leadenforcement officials that it ended as positively as it did. ers gather at the U.N. this week, the U.S. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Sept. 14 and its European allies are consumed by efforts to blunt the savage advance of the Islamic State group, to end the raging Ebola epidemic and to make progress in nuclear negotiations with Iran. That’s likely just with Vladimir Putin, since these issues By GARRY TRUDEAU fine distract from Russia’s presence in neighboring Ukraine. While attention focuses elsewhere, the Russians are consolidating their annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. They are also deeply involved in turmoil in Ukraine’s east and south, hoping to prevent the country from moving out of the Kremlin’s orbit. Europe and the United States insist the independent nation must be free to choose its own course. Russia is already enraged over NATO’s having brought former Soviet satellite nations in Eastern Europe and some Baltic nations, once Soviet republics, into the alliance over the past two decades. The Kremlin insists it was promised, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, that that would not happen. It’s doing its best to prevent Ukraine from making the same move. What’s more, says American University professor Keith Darden: “Their strategy all along has been to argue that what they did in Crimea is not abnormal. Intervention in Ukraine is not unusual for great powers. The U.S. has intervened in Latin America consistently. Ukraine, they say, is their sphere of interest.” And given the chaos in other areas of the world, says Andrew Weiss, of the Carnegie Endowment, “I can’t say I see the Russian challenges and issues as being front and center. Ukraine, to a degree, already has been pushed out of the public eye by the

In addition to business advice, the website vulcanpost.com has compiled some of Ma’s sayings that are the antithesis of Mao Zedong’s “Little Red Book” in which Chairman Mao laid out Communist Party Cal Thomas principles. Here are some thoughts from Chairman Jack: “What is failure: Giving up is the greatest failure.” “What your duties are: To be more diligent, hardworking and ambitious than others.” In modern America we punish the fruits of hard work and ambition with higher taxes and more regulation, forcing many businesses to seek relief by moving overseas. As The Wall Street Journal reported last week, “With the developed world’s highest corporate tax rate at over 39 percent, including state levies, plus a rare demand that money earned overseas should be taxed as if it were earned domestically, the U.S. is almost in a class by itself. It ranks just behind Spain and Italy, of all economic humiliations. America did beat Portugal and France, which is currently run by an avowed socialist.” To those who waste energy complaining, Jack Ma offers this advice: “If you complain or whine once in a while, it is not a big deal. However, if it becomes habitual,

it will be similar to drinking: the more you drink, the stronger the thirst. On the path to success, you will notice that the successful ones are not whiners, nor do they complain often.” To an older generation these truths are beyond debate and when applied they can improve any life. Jack Ma has scrupulously avoided politics and advises people in business to do the same, which is probably why the Beijing dictatorship has allowed him to pursue his goals. Apparently, they do not see him as a threat to their hold on power. Still, the principles Ma used to build his giant firm are ready-made for the Republican Party, which seems to have no positive message and is cowering in shadows for fear of being demonized by media and the left. Jack Ma has some wisdom on that score. He says you can’t unify everyone’s thoughts, but you can unify everyone through a common goal. While his message applies to anyone, anemic Republicans could use it most. They should stop whining about President Obama and start focusing on principles with a track record of success. Unlike in the fairy tale, such a treasure doesn’t need a secret phrase to unlock it. It’s right in front of them and there for the taking. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Russia wants to keep Ukraine off UN radar

sanctions. Beyond that, key Putin advisers are promoting his desires to protect and perhaps reabsorb regions with predominantly Russian speakers. They are not only in Ukraine’s east but in former republics like Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — the Baltic nations on Russia’s northwest border. U.S. President Barack Obama recently visited the region and promised that NATO would indeed fight to protect those new alliance members if attacked by Russia. “It is a miscalculation because Russia is far stronger, and the West far weaker, than many imagine,” writes Putin foreign policy adviser Sergey Karaganov. “The West that Russia now faces is not the self-confident alliance that proclaimed itself victor of the cold war. It is a directionless gaggle, beset with economic insecurities and losing sight of its moral convictions. America and its allies once held the future in their hands, but at the beginning of this Asian century they have let it slip through their fingers. Their crowning accomplishment was globalization - and they are destroying it with economic sanctions they incoherently describe as instruments of self-defense.” That is a message that plays well with Putin and the Russian people. There is a latent xenophobia and fundamental distrust of the West abroad in the sprawling country, where Putin grows more and more popular as he stands up to Washington and its European allies.

Middle East crisis and the Ebola epidemic. I don’t think Ukraine will have the same centrality.” The Russians will likely raise objections to U.S. threats to bomb Syria to take out Islamic State group fighters and facilities. But, since the focus in Syria has shifted from the counter-revolutionary brutality of President Bashar Assad, Russia’s obstinate backing for him likely will not come to the fore. Putin, the Russian president, won’t be in New York for the U.N. General Assembly. The Kremlin will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who, Weiss says, will be on the defensive and unpersuasive as he argues that “Russia is behaving in a normal way in Ukraine.” But Russia’s actions in Ukraine aren’t likely to take center stage at the world gathering. While the United States has delivered aid to Ukraine, the White House has so far refused to send lethal military equipment that would beef up Kiev’s forces in the battle against eastern rebels who are fighting to break away and join Russia. Moscow, no doubt, is happy about Washington’s military restraint in Ukraine, but is feeling the effects of heavy sanctions levied against Russia by the United States and the European Union. And it’s no doubt heard the rumblings in Washington of serious divisions in the White House over increased lethal aid to Kiev. Steven R.

Nation & World Around the World More than 800 rounds of ammo found in car of accused White House intruder WASHINGTON — Investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in the car of the former soldier accused of scaling the White House fence and sprinting inside the building while carrying a knife, a federal prosecutor said Monday. President Barack Obama said he was “obviously concerned” about the weekend incident. The Secret Service increased security around the famous grounds on Pennsylvania Avenue in the nation’s capital, some guards openly holding weapons, others escorting dogs. There was talk of expanding White House security beyond the current area as a major investigation began into the question of how the man managed to get to the building without being stopped. Forty-two-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez of Copperas Cove, Texas, faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon. He had been arrested earlier in the summer in Virginia with a carful of weapons, authorities said, and a federal prosecutor said Monday in court that Gonzalez had had a map with the White House circled. Obama and his family had left the White House for Camp David when the incident occurred Friday evening. Gonzalez was seized just inside the building’s front door. No guns were found in his car. In court, Gonzalez, with a gray beard, a shaved head and dressed in a standard prison orange jumpsuit, listened impassively as the prosecutor spoke. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of illegally entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon.

3 Afghan Army officers missing from US base in custody at Canadian-US border BOSTON — Three Afghanistan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base were detained Monday at the U.S.-Canadian border, Massachusetts law enforcement officials said. Massachusetts state police were notified that the three were being questioned by federal authorities at Rainbow Bridge, which connects Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario, said spokesman David Procopio, who did not have further details. There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Niagara Falls said they didn’t have the men in custody. Messages left for Canada Border Services Agency weren’t immediately returned. Military officials said the Afghan soldiers had been participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Cooperation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and were last seen Saturday at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis during an off day.

Investigation focuses on UVa employee thought to be last seen with missing student C

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Officials investigating the disappearance of a University of Virginia student focused Monday on the man they believe was the last person seen with her, searching his apartment for a second time and trying to locate the campus employee to arrest him on reckless driving charges. Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32 and a patient technician in the operating room at the university’s medical center, hasn’t been charged in the disappearance, but authorities say they want to talk to him about Hannah Graham, 18. She has been missing since Sept. 13. Police have not offered any details about how the two may be connected. “I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the Earth because it’s been a week and we can’t find her,” Charlottesville police Chief Timothy Longo said. “I’ve made no mistake about it. We want to talk to Jesse Matthew. We want to talk to him. We want to talk to him about his interaction with this sweet, young girl we can’t find.” But, Longo also noted that “I don’t want to get tunnel vision just because we have a name, just because we saw her with a particular person.” After initial searches of Matthew’s car and apartment Friday morning, police returned with a new search warrant to his Charlottesville apartment Monday, city spokeswoman Miriam Dickler said.

Ahead of UN summit on climate change, businesses want market-based solutions NEW YORK — Hundreds of corporations, insurance companies and pension funds are calling on world leaders gathering for a U.N. summit on climate change this week to attack the problem by making it more costly for businesses and ordinary people to pollute. The idea, long advocated by policymakers, economists and environmental activists, is that the world can’t hope to slow the heating of the planet until its cost is incorporated into the everyday activities that contribute to it, such as using gas- or coal-generated electricity, driving a car, shipping a package or flying around the globe. Business leaders representing trillions of dollars in revenue and retirement savings say they worry that global warming threatens the long-term value of their investments, and they want world leaders to adopt policies that would provide a financial incentive to people to clean up their act. That could include a tax on carbon emissions, a cap or some other mechanism. “There’s a market failure that needs to be fixed,” said Anne Simpson, senior portfolio manager and director of global governance at the $300 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the largest public pension fund in the U.S.

Pennsylvania governor confident trooper ambush suspect will be caught In the thick of a difficult re-election campaign, Gov. Tom Corbett could have been tempted to place himself front and center of the effort to capture the gunman who ambushed a Pennsylvania State Police barracks, killing a trooper and injuring another. Instead, Corbett has largely stayed in the background as he allows state police officials to be the public face of a manhunt for Eric Frein, the 31-year-old survivalist who’s believed to be hiding in the Poconos Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. Corbett spoke briefly three days after the ambush, asking the public to “pray for the soul” of slain Cpl. Bryon Dickson and declaring that investigators wouldn’t rest until they captured his killer. The first-term Republican attended Dickson’s funeral last week but didn’t speak. — TheAssociated Press

Militants kill 40 Iraqi troops By Islamic QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA and BRAM JANSSEN Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Islamic State militants disguised in Iraqi army uniforms and driving stolen Humvees killed at least 40 Iraqi soldiers and captured 68 others in western Anbar province, breaking through a deteriorating Iraqi military offensive in an area where the United States recently broadened its airstrike campaign. The wave of suicide bombings dealt a heavy blow to government efforts to rein in the militants, whose rampage has seized much of the country’s north and west — even as the U.S. and its allies began training Iraq’s Kurdish peshmerga fighters to bolster their ability to battle the Sunni extremists. The attacks Sunday targeted troops stationed at Camp Saqlawiyah near the town of Sijir, 45 miles (70 kilometers) west of Baghdad. There has been no contact with the 68 captured Iraqi soldiers, who were believed to have been taken to the nearby city of Fallujah, an Islamic State stronghold, said Gen. Rasheed Fleih. After the attacks, the Iraqi military withdrew 700 more troops stationed in the area, he said. Following battlefield successes in both Iraq and neighboring Syria, Islamic State fighters, among them many Iraqi nationals, have re-entered Iraq through Anbar province, engaging in fierce battles with the Iraqi military. In this Sunnimajority territory, the group has quickly capitalized on longstanding grievances against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, earning support from local populations. Iraq’s new Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a state-

ment Monday that his government is committed to reinforcing military and police forces in Anbar and will increase airstrikes to target the pockets of militant fighters across the province. Last week, he declared an end to the shelling of towns where militants are suspected of hiding, so as not to rile the local populations. Meanwhile, the U.S. military said Monday that airstrikes on Islamic State targets southwest of the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk destroyed two military vehicles and a tank and damaged a Humvee, bringing the total U.S. strikes on the militants to 190 since the aerial campaign began on Aug. 8. Backed by the U.S. airstrikes, Iraqi and Kurdish security forces have retaken the strategic Mosul Dam and several small towns. However, serious challenges remain since many Islamic State fighters are operating from cities with large

civilian populations, such as Fallujah and Mosul. In northern Iraq, meanwhile, the U.S. and its allies began training Kurdish peshmerga forces to enhance their ability to fight the Sunni extremists. Helgurd Hikmet, general director of the ministry overseeing the Kurdish forces, said that France, Italy and Germany were among countries providing training in the use of the new machine guns, mortars, rockets and demining robots the Kurdish fighters have received. The U.S. forces are part of the advise-and-assist teams that have been in Irbil, the provincial capital of the semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdish region, for several weeks. The U.S. has also provided equipment against roadside bombs and other sophisticated artillery to the Kurdish fighters. Last week, the French joined in the aerial campaign, and a number of European countries

have committed to arming the Kurds and providing humanitarian support for more than a million people displaced by the onslaught of the Islamic State group. The Islamic State group’s spokesman, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, said that the Islamic extremists were ready to battle a U.S.-led military coalition and called on Muslims worldwide to kill civilians of nations that join the campaign. “If you can, kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that joined a coalition against the Islamic State,” al-Adnani said in an audio statement released Sunday. Late Monday, meanwhile, a car bomb exploded in a commercial district of eastern Baghdad, killing 12 people and wounding at least 28 others, police and hospital officials said. The attack brought the day’s death toll in and around Baghdad to 26. A bombing and a shooting earlier in the day killed seven, while a midday bomb in a commercial street in Baghdad’s southwestern district of Bayaa killed four people and wounded 13, according to police officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Also, just north of Baghdad, gunmen broke into the house of an anti-militant Sunni fighter, killing his two sons and a daughter, the police said. The Sunni fighter was wounded, along with his wife. He was a member of Sahwa, a Sunni militia that joined U.S. troops in the fight against Iraq’s al-Qaida branch at the height of Iraq’s insurgency in 2007 and 2008.

Shiite rebel sweep into capital kills 340 By AHMED AL-HAJ and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — In a stunning sweep of the Yemeni capital, the country’s Shiite rebels seized homes, offices and military bases of their Sunni foes on Monday, forcing many into hiding and triggering an exodus of civilians from the city after a week of fighting that left 340 people dead. It was the latest development in the Hawthi blitz, which has plunged volatile Yemen into more turmoil, pitting the Shiite rebels against the Sunni-dominated military and their Islamist tribal allies. The heavily armed Hawthi fighters on Monday seized tanks and armored vehicles from military headquarters they had overrun, and raided the home of long-time archenemy Maj. Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, the commander of the army’s elite 1st Armored Division and a veteran of a series of wars against the Shiite rebels, as well as residences of top Sunni Islamist militiamen or the fundamentalist Islah party. Al-Ahmar himself fled and was forced into hiding, along with his followers, as the U.N. envoy to Yemen, Jamal Benomar, succeeded in mediating a deal on Sunday between the

Shiite Hawthis and their rivals and the fighting died down. But the Hawthis made no concessions. After flooding into Sanaa, the Hawthis also took strategic installations and key state buildings, though they claimed later to have handed them back to the army’s military police. Thousands of Hawthi fighters — including many youths — were the only visible force Monday on the streets of the capital. They drove army tanks and armored vehicles they looted from al-Ahmar’s forces out of the city, heading north, likely to the Hawthis’ heartland in the city of Saada. The group’s spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the rebels will hunt down those who committed violence against them, indicating the possibility of wider revenge attacks against opponents. Observers say the Hawthis’ battlefield success reflects a major change in Yemen’s political landscape, with traditional sources of power — Sunni Islamists, allied army generals and tribal chiefs — losing their grip as the central government gave in to the Shiite rebels to avert a full-blown civil war. Mansour Hayel, a Yemeni political analyst, compared the Hawthi sweep to the rampage in Iraq and Syria by Sunni militants from the Islamic State

group. “The situation is very disturbing,” Hayel said. “The state withdrew its control over institutions and the Hawthis and their affiliates replaced it. They are all over the city.” The Hawthis signed the U.N.-brokered deal on Sunday, an agreement that gave them unprecedented influence in the presidency and over the Cabinet. It calls for an immediate cease-fire and the formation of a technocratic government within a month after consultations with all political parties. According to the deal, President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi is to appoint key advisers — from both the ranks of the Hawthis and the pro-separatist factions in the south. However, the Hawthis abstained from signing an appendix to the deal that stipulates that they abide by the ceasefire, withdraw from Sanaa and other northern cities, and surrender their weapons to the government. Yemen, one of the Arab world’s poorest nations, is facing multiple challenges. An alQaida branch in the south poses a constant threat as it tries to impose control over cities and towns. Washington considers the Yemeni branch to be the world’s most dangerous arm of al-Qaida and has helped support Yemeni government offensives

against it with drone strikes. The Hawthis waged a sixyear insurgency that officially ended in 2010. The following year, an Arab Spring-inspired uprising forced then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down in 2012 as part of a U.S.backed deal giving him immunity from prosecution. After Saleh’s ouster, a power-sharing deal brokered by Yemen’s neighboring Gulf Arab states and Western allies gave the Islah party along with the rest of the opposition half of the Cabinet and parliament seats. The other half went to Saleh’s party. The Hawthis opposed the deal, which sidelined them completely and which likely contributed to their further disenchantment with the government in Sanaa. Before going into hiding, alAhmar and Saleh’s successor, President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, met briefly at the president’s office on Sunday, according to an official at the presidency. They argued, and the general failed to convince the president to send warplanes against the Hawthis, the official said, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the content of the closed-door meeting. “Hadi choose the best of the worst options ... to avoid a civil war.”

Treasury to unveil steps to curb tax inversions By JOSH LEDERMAN and JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will outline new steps on Monday to prevent American companies from reincorporating overseas to shirk U.S. taxes, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said. In a so-called “tax inversion,” a U.S. business merges with or is acquired by a foreign company in a country with a lower tax rate. During a speech on the economic effects of climate change, Lew called inversions

an unfair practice and a “glaring loophole in the U.S. tax code.” He said the U.S. would take steps to address it — with or without Congress. President Barack Obama has denounced inversions as unpatriotic and has urged Congress to stop them. But with quick action in Congress unlikely, the Treasury Department has been reviewing potential actions the administration could take without Congress. Treasury is also examining ways to reduce the tax benefits for companies that pursue inversions. The Obama administration C

said the best way to address inversions is still through legislation. The administration’s timing also highlights the appeal Democrats believe the issue has with voters. By having Treasury announce new steps now, the White House is practically daring Republicans to voice their opposition. Obama elevated the issue in July, demanding “economic patriotism” from U.S. corporations that use legal means to avoid U.S. taxes through overseas mergers. “I don’t care if it’s legal,” Obama declared at

the time. “It’s wrong.” Republicans have resisted targeted efforts to limit such deals, arguing that such a change should be incorporated into a more ambitious overhaul of the tax code. Democrats, in turn, have portrayed Republicans as defenders of corporate loopholes. Obama had included a proposal to rein in such mergers and acquisitions in his 2015 budget. But the administration placed a more aggressive focus on the issue this summer as a number of high profile mergers and potential mergers began to grab headlines.

Royals move closer to top of Central By The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Danny Duffy pitched six shutout innings for his first win in more than a month as the Kansas City Royals moved closer to the top of the AL Central and kept some distance over Cleveland in the wildcard race, beating the Indians 2-0 on Monday night. Duffy (9-11), who had thrown just one pitch in September before the start, held the Indians to six hits. The left-hander had been sidelined since Sept. 6 with a sore shoulder. Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 44th save as the Royals, seeking their first postseason appearance since 1985, moved within one game of firstplace Detroit. The Tigers lost 2-0 at home to the White Sox. Carlos Carrasco (8-6) couldn’t keep the momentum going for the Indians, who earlier completed a 4-3 win in 10 innings in a game suspended on Aug. 31 in Kansas City. ATHLETICS 8, ANGELS 4 OAKLAND, Calif. — Jeff Samardzija pitched seven strong innings and received some rare run support as Oakland kept hold of the top AL wild-card spot by beating the West champions. The A’s moved one game ahead of Kansas City for the first wild card. Geovany Soto hit a two-run single to highlight a six-run first inning as the A’s chased C.J. Wilson (13-10) after just two outs for the second-shortest start of his career. Stephen Vogt added a two-run single in the seventh. Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the eighth for Los Angeles, giving him 1,602 RBIs for 33rd on the career list. Samardzija (5-5) beat the Angels for

YANKEES 5, ORIOLES 0

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter began his final series at Yankee Stadium by breaking open the game with a two-run double, and he had three RBIs to lead the Yankees over the Orioles. Michael Pineda retired his first 13 batters before J.J. Hardy singled sharply to left field, pitching 7 1-3 innings and combining with three relievers on a one-hitter. Jose Pirela, the Yankees’ team-record 57th player this season, became New York’s first player in 34 years to triple in his first big league at-bat. He went 2 for 3 with the go-ahead RBI. Despite the loss, AL East champion Baltimore clinched home-field advantage in an AL division series starting Oct. 2 when Detroit lost to the Chicago White Sox. The Orioles open the postseason against the wild-card playoff winner or the AL Central champion.

CARDINALS 8, CUBS 0 CHICAGO — Adam Wainwright joined Clayton Kershaw as the majors’ only 20-game winners, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings, and the Cardinals beat the Cubs. Wainwright hit the 20-win mark for the second time while matching his career-high for victories, and the Cardinals moved a step closer toward their second straight division title. They remained 2 1/2 games ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL Central with five to play with the Pirates beating Atlanta 1-0. St. Louis clinched its fourth straight playoff appearance on Sunday. Wainwright (20-9) won his fifth straight

PIRATES 1, BRAVES 0 ATLANTA — Andrew McCutchen homered, Francisco Liriano won his fourth straight start and the Pirates moved closer to a postseason berth, beating the Braves. The Pirates, winners in 10 of their last 12, have a five-game lead over Milwaukee with six games remaining for both teams. Any combination of two Pittsburgh wins or Brewers losses will guarantee the Pirates at least a spot in the NL wild-card game for the second straight year. The Pirates still have hopes of winning the NL Central, but they began the night 2½ games behind first-place St. Louis. McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, hit his 24th homer in the sixth off starter Aaron Harang.

DETROIT — Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, and the White Sox slowed Detroit’s chase of the AL Central title with a victory over the Tigers. Detroit remained 1 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Royals, pending the result of their regularly scheduled game in Cleveland. Hours earlier, the Indians finished off a win in a suspended game against Kansas City. Tyler Flowers hit a two-run homer for the White Sox, and the Tigers were unable to take advantage of Chicago’s inexperienced starter. The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central.

RANGERS 4, ASTROS 3

BLUE JAYS 14, MARINERS 4 TORONTO — Jose Bautista homered and reached base four times, J.A. Happ won for the first time in four starts and the Blue Jays dealt a blow to Seattle’s wild card hopes, routing the Mariners. Bautista went 3 for 3 with a walk and drove in two runs before getting the rest of the night off. His solo homer in the fifth against Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen was his 35th. Kevin Pillar hit a two-run homer and Anthony Gose added a solo blast as the Blue Jays handed Seattle its third straight defeat. Happ (10-11) allowed an RBI double by Robinson Cano in the first, and Kyle Seager’s solo homer in the sixth. Seattle’s James Paxton (6-4) gave up a career-high nine runs, walked a career-

ARLINGTON, Texas — Guilder Rodriguez had his first two major league hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single, as the Rangers opened their final homestand with a victory over the Astros. Rougned Odor had a three-run triple for Texas, which won for the ninth time in its last 10 games. The Rangers got win No. 63 overall, ensuring that they will avoid their first 100-loss season since 1973. The 31-year-old Rodriguez made his major league debut two weeks ago, when the switch-hitting utility infielder was called up after 13 seasons and 1,095 games in the minors, then the most by any current player before finally getting to the majors. Rodriguez got his first major league RBI in the seventh, his two-out single sending home Jake Smolinski and chas-

MINNEAPOLIS — Josh Collmenter pitched six strong innings for his careerbest 11th win, Mark Trumbo homered and the Diamondbacks beat the Twins to snap a six-game losing streak. Trumbo’s two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco (5-12) — his fourth homer in the last 11 games — capped a five-run fifth for the Diamondbacks, who are 7-11 in interleague play. Collmenter (11-8) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts, matching the longest streak of his career. He’s 3-1 during that span. Nearly all the hitters in Minnesota’s lineup faced Collmenter for the first time in their careers, and it showed as the Twins reached 90 losses for the fourth straight year since winning the AL Central in 2010.

PADRES 1, ROCKIES 0 SAN DIEGO — Eric Stults pitched effectively into the seventh inning and San Diego won its fifth straight game by beating Colorado. Stults (8-17), tied with Philadelphia right-hander A.J. Burnett for the major league lead in losses, scattered seven hits over 6 1-3 innings in beating the Rockies for the first time this season after two defeats. Kevin Quackenbush worked the ninth for his sixth save, ending Colorado’s season-high, six-game winning streak. The Padres, outhit 10-5, went ahead in the first inning when Rene Rivera’s double scored Jedd Gyorko, who walked. Rockies starter Tyler Matzek (6-11) struck out eight in six innings.

Bears hold off Jets DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman needed a few extra minutes to clear his head. His team took advantage of mistakes by the New York Jets to jump to an early lead, but then things got a little too close for comfort in a 27-19 win Monday night. “It was quite a game,” Trestman said. “I thought we played an excellent football team. They have the ability to run it and they play terrific defense. I’m just proud of our football team. It was a team win.” Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett and Ryan Mundy returned an interception 45 yards for a score. Cutler finished 23 of 38 for 225 yards and Alshon Jeffery caught eight passes for 105 yards for the Bears, who got a 45-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to make it an eight-point game with 3:10 remaining. The Jets (1-2) had one last opportunity to tie, getting into Bears territory on Geno Smith’s 51-yard pass to Greg Salas. But Jeremy Kerley was out of bounds in the back of the end zone when he made a leap-

ing grab of Smith’s desperation fourth-down heave from the Bears 9. Cutler took a knee three times to seal the victory for the Bears (2-1). “We just have to ride this momentum,” Cutler said. Smith was 26 of 43 for 316 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions — and nearly had a few others. Kerley finished with seven catches for 81 yards, and almost came up with a diving grab off a tipped pass in the end zone on the final drive. “There were some plays you wish you could have back,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. The Jets lost wide receiver Eric Decker in the first half to a hamstring injury; he was questionable for the game with tightness in the hamstring. Decker said he pulled himself out when he couldn’t get it loosened up. Defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson also left with an injured right knee, but Ryan didn’t think it was serious. The Bears went up 14-0 just over five minutes into the game. On New York’s second play from scrimmage, Smith didn’t see Mundy lurking in the flat as he floated a screen pass to

Chris Johnson. Mundy stepped in front of the toss and ran untouched into the end zone for a 45-yard score. “I put ourselves in a hole with the interception for a touchdown,” Smith said. “We definitely chipped away and had a chance to win at the end.” After the Jets stopped the Bears on three plays on their first offensive series, rookie Jalen Saunders dropped Patrick O’Donnell’s punt at his 40 and it was recovered by Ahmad Dixon. Cutler threw deep down the right sideline to Jeffery one play later, and cornerback Darrin Walls was called for pass interference to put the ball at the Jets 7. Three plays later, Cutler rolled right and found Bennett in the back of the end zone to make it 14-0 — and get the MetLife Stadium crowd booing. “There is a little lack of respect for me as a tight end,” Bennett said. “It’s kind of like a chip on my shoulder. They never really mention me.” The Jets got on the scoreboard on their next possession, AP Photo/Bill Kostroun capping an 11-play, 55-drive with Nick Folk’s 43-yard field New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley goes up for a pass into the end zone against Bears strong safety Brock Vereen (45) during the fourth quarter Monday in East Rutherford, N.J. goal.

Biscotti says Ravens didn’t seek leniency By The Associated Press

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti refuted a report suggesting he and other team officials tried to persuade the NFL to be lenient on Ray Rice after the running back was arrested in February for knocking out his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City elevator. Bisciotti, who rarely met with the media before the Rice saga, said Monday he felt it necessary to respond to an ESPN story last week that described he, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome pushing Commissioner Roger Goodell for leniency for Rice. “Their accusations didn’t jibe with what we know is fact,” said Bisciotti, who, sitting in a raised leather chair square in the middle of a raised stage at his team’s training facility, also denied that he contacted the league on Rice’s behalf. “I don’t think the league would take too kindly to us badgering them,” Bisciotti said. “I didn’t really care. If it was going to be a precedent-setting (suspension of) four or six games, I would have told Ray not to appeal it. “I expected four of six games and I was surprised as everybody else that it was two.”

The two games were Rice’s original suspension by the league — the Ravens took no action at the time — for punching Janay Palmer in a casino on Feb. 15. But after a video surfaced on Sept. 8 showing the violent attack, Rice was released by the team and suspended indefinitely by the league. He has appealed his suspension. Bisciotti acknowledged that the backlash over the handling of the domestic violence case is by far the biggest crisis he’s faced since taking over the team 14 years ago, but defended the integrity of his organization. “When your integrity is questioned, it’s pretty humbling,” Bisciotti said. “Last week it was our competence being questioned. Now it’s our integrity.” Te’o has fractured foot SAN DIEGO — San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o has a fractured right foot and is expected to miss significant time, a person with knowledge of the situation said Monday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t made the news public. Te’o was hurt in Sunday’s 22-10 victory at Buffalo. He has been bothered by foot injuries.

He has declined to give an injury report at his weekly Monday news conference, saying that he meets with the team trainer after he meets with reporters. He has also refused to confirm when players have surgery. Te’o, the team’s second-round draft pick in 2013, missed time during training camp after spraining his left foot in the second exhibition game.

Sunday. He was stopped after a 1-yard gain by diving defensive tackle Kyle Williams. Williams hit Woodhead directly in the right ankle, which appeared to twist underneath the player. “It’s a brutal business and it’s tough and injuries are a part of the game, unfortunately,” McCoy said. “But it means so much to him. That’s the toughest thing. The first thing he said to me after the game was, ‘Coach, don’t worry. I’ll be back and I’ll be back stronger than ever.

Keselowski, Logano make Penske hot at right time

s Brad Keselowski flaunted his fast car by leading session after session at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Joey Logano took a good-natured swipe at his teammate by asking him via Twitter to slow down. The first message apparently fell on deaf ears, so Logano tried again the next day, tweeting to Keselowski: “You must have not heard me yesterday. Please?” Logano ultimately didn’t need an assist from Keselowski on Sunday. He led the final 30 laps to grab a pivotal victory, and the win pushed Logano into the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, where he and Keselowski are the only two drivers guaranteed of advancing. Team Penske is hot — the hottest organization in NASCAR with four wins in the last five races — and Logano and Keselowski are ruthless right now about results.

Kevin Harvick has held his own, but his Stewart-Haas Racing entry has yet to stack up to the two Penske cars when a win is on the line. And the four-car Hendrick effort?

The Washington Redskins lost their three-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the rest of the 2014 when an MRI confirmed what was suspected after Hall was hurt in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Backup safety Duke Ihenacho is also done for the season with a broken bone in his left foot. Both Hall and Ihenacho were placed on injured reserve Monday, and while defensive end Jason Hatcher, linebacker

I’m hearing Achilles aren’t the end of the world.” Hall, wearing purple and gold Los Angeles Lakers shorts, said he spoke with Kobe Bryant shortly after the game to get advice about surgery and rehab. Bryant tore his Achilles last year. “I’m not a spring chicken, so I’ve got to make sure I get it done the right way,” said the 30-yearold Hall. “Got to be as patient with it as possible.” Hall said he hasn’t decided where or when to have his surgery. He’s had a relatively healthy career and hasn’t missed a game since 2009.

this group — we’re worried about Dover right now.’ “That’s our intent, one race at a time, and that’s how we’ll proceed.” It’s already been a successful year for the Penske organization, which celebrated its first IndyCar championship since 2006 last month when Will Power claimed his first career title. Now Penske is in command of the Chase, and also leading the owner standings in the Nationwide Series. Keselowski feels the attention the team is receiving now didn’t come until the seventh or eighth race of his title run two years ago. He’s used to attention and doesn’t mind it, but cautions the Penske organization against believing the hype. “It’s different because it’s so early, and I know that we have so much further to go and so much more work to do,” Keselowski said. “In that sense, it’s a compliment. But it’s kind of scary because you don’t want to get overinflated as a team and think you’ve done what you needed to do when there’s so much work left to be done.”

Sports Briefs US Soccer stands by Solo decision U.S. Soccer is standing by its decision to allow goalkeeper Hope Solo to continue to play while she faces domestic violence charges. Solo is charged with two misdemeanor counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault in Washington state stemming from a June 21 altercation with her sister-in-law and 17-year-old nephew at a family gathering. She has pleaded not guilty and the case is scheduled for trial on Nov. 4. She faces up to six months in jail if convicted. Solo, who has been with the national team since 2000 and recently set the team record for most career shutouts, continued to play for the United States in exhibition matches and with her National Women’s Soccer League team, the Seattle Reign, following her arrest. U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said Monday the organization will let her play until the legal matter is settled. “U.S. Soccer takes the issue of domestic violence very seriously. From the beginning, we considered the information available and have taken a deliberate and thoughtful approach regarding Hope Solo’s status with the national team,” Gulati said in a statement. “Based on that information, U.S. Soccer stands by our decision to allow her to participate with the team as the legal process unfolds. If new information becomes available we will carefully consider it.”

Braves fire GM ATLANTA — For nearly a quarter-century, the Atlanta Braves have been all about stability. That changed Monday.

. . . Trial Continued from page A-1

On Sept. 5, Wasilla attorney Greg Parvin became the fourth attorney appointed to represent Roach. On Monday, Roach said he had not met with Parvin yet and wanted time to counsel. Miller represented Roach in the hearing on Parvin’s behalf. Anchorage attorney Chris Cyphers, from Frontier Law Group, was first appointed to Roach’s case in May 2012 before he was dismissed by Roach and replaced by Mark Nunn in February 2013 on a limited entry of appearance. Nunn was brought in for a trial call and made a motion for a continuance. Attorney Michael Rose, also from Frontier Law Group, represented Roach from October 2013 until Parvin replaced him earlier this month. According to court records, Cyphers, filed a motion for a representation hearing in July. Cyphers was killed in a plane crash on Aug. 10 in Big Lake. In a December 2012 court hearing, Bauman requested the Alaska Office of Public Advocacy represent the Boxes for Heroes organization. OPA argued a conflict of interest in their representation of Brian Altman, a witness in the case against Roach and the organization. On Monday, Bauman said he is a friend of Timothy Reed, a witness who has testified to the Grand Jury in the Roach and Boxes for Heroes case. He said he didn’t believe the friendship is a conflict of interest in the case, but wanted it noted. Boxes for Heroes had three founding members, but none of the others were charged. Kenai Police Investigator Jeff Whannell led the investigation of Roach and his organization. Investigators interviewed dozens of donors and reviewed thousands of pages of financial documents. The Internal Revenue Service was consulted, but the organization was not audited. The investigation revealed “Boxes for Heroes” raised more than $140,000 in donations from April 2010 to October 2011. Roach, the president of the organization, allegedly used the money as his sole source of income and to pay for all his living expenses. Roach’s next court date is Dec. 10 for trial call.

requested was reflected in the order. She said she was disappointed that the order called for training sessions by teleconference, rather than in-person, saying it would be less effective. But Landreth said Gleason probably had the proximity of the election in mind. The election is six weeks away. “The court is very much intent on making sure that there’s equal access to the information on the ballot, and that was the core of the case and we’re pret-

ty happy,” Landreth said. Department of Law spokeswoman Cori Mills said by email that the state “is committed to doing everything it can to implement the court’s order and provide robust language assistance. With the clear guidance from the court, we look forward to providing the additional assistance outlined by Judge Gleason to the best of our ability to enhance the State’s existing language assistance program.”

The ruling does not resolve the case. The steps outlined in the order would apply to the upcoming election, but Landreth noted that Gleason has yet to issue a permanent ruling or to rule on the plaintiffs’ claim that the state’s actions violated their constitutional rights. Landreth said a constitutional finding for the plaintiffs’ could open the door to allowing for the appointment of federal election observers.

steep ocean warming period from 1920 to 1940 predates the big increases in greenhouse gases, and an ocean cooling period from 1998 to 2013 came while global average temperatures were at or near all-time highs. They also noted that the wind changes consistently preceded the ocean surface temperature variations by about four months, showing the wind was causing the changes to temperature, not the other way around. James Overland, a research oceanographer at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, said the study reinforced findings that the North Pacific has a lot of natural variability in 5- to 20-year time scales, and he reached the same conclusions on changes in the

Bering Sea. “Natural variability cannot be ruled out as an important mechanism,” he said in an email. During the entire period from 1900 to 2012, there has been an increase of about 1 degree Fahrenheit in ocean surface temperatures in the area from Hawaii to Alaska, and down the coast to British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, according to the study. The wind acts to change temperature through speed and direction. When the wind blows faster across the water, evaporation increases, and like sweat drying on the skin, cools the water surface. Winds from the south drive warmer air and water to the region. Winds from the north drive in colder air and water.

Mantua said he and Johnstone took the potential inaccuracy of the data into account, comparing it to several other sources, including land surface air temperatures along the coast, which also agreed. “It just seems to us it’s a pretty simple story,” Mantua said. “Yet it’s going to take people by surprise, because it is ingrained in our minds that if the climate warms up in the course of the century, it’s probably because of global warming, the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases and other things humans have done that have pushed it in a warming direction.”

said. Alaska business records indicate Egbe registered the Alaska Cannabis Club name on April 20, or 4-20. The number “420” has long been associated with marijuana, though its origins as shorthand for pot are unclear. Taylor Bickford, a spokesman for a group backing the measure to legalize pot, said he hopes Alaska voters look beyond Greene’s salty language. “I hope that her language, which clearly was not appropriate for television, doesn’t distract from the importance of her message,” said Bickford, with the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol. After voters approved the use of medical marijuana in 1998, the state of Alaska never set up dispensaries, forcing people to criminalize themselves to access pot, he said. Passage of the initiative “would allow them to access the medicine they need,” Bickford said. A spokeswoman for the opn On Aug. 19 at 11:06 a.m., Kenai police contacted Johnny R. Sisneros II, 28, of Kenai, on Evergreen Street. Sisneros was arrested on a Soldotna troopers $5,000 felony arrest warrant for fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance, original charge third-degree theft, petition to revoke probation new charge and technical violation. He was taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Aug. 19 at 12:01 p.m., Kenai police contacted Sam A. Renney, Jr., 32, of Kenai, near Mile 11.5 of the Kenai Spur Highway. Renney was arrested on a $50 troopers misdemeanor arrest warrant on the original charged of no motor vehicle insurance and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial. n On Aug. 18 at 12:02 p.m., Kenai police received a report of embezzlement from First National Bank of Alaska. Investigation led to a summons to court for Lorraine C. Mercado,

AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein contributed to this report.

‘She had a personal and business stake in the issue she was reporting, but did not disclose that interest to us.’ — KTVA News Director Bert Rudman position group Big Marijuana Big Mistake said it has twice complained to KTVA management about what it claimed was Greene’s biased coverage of the ballot initiative. “While we are frustrated with these actions, we are further disappointed by this distraction from what needs to be a full and honest debate about a dangerous initiative that will hurt Alaska’s communities and kids,” Kristina Woolston said in a statement. During a Monday news conference, the group outlined concerns it had with Greene’s reporting, including an Aug. 15 email from Kalie Klaysmat, the executive director of the Alaska Association of Chiefs of Police, which also opposes the mari-

juana initiative, asking Rudman to change reporters. “She seemed only interested in information that supported her point of view. She did not explore contrary information; she attacked it,” the email states. “That she seems to be the primary reporter covering marijuana issues and has such a strong personal opinion on this very divisive topic causes me to question the station’s editorial judgment.” “Alaskans should feel as if they had been disrespected, not only because of the use of the F word, but also because they did not receive fair and balanced reporting on this very important issue for our future,” said another spokeswoman for the group, Deborah Williams.

41, of Kenai, on a charge of second-degree theft. n On Aug. 29 at 5:38 p.m., Alaska State Troopers received a report of a disturbance south of Soldotna. Following the disturbance, a male, identified as Kevin Asp, 45, of Soldotna, left the residence. Asp was reported to be armed and to have a revoked driver’s license. Troopers located the vehicle at Mile 99 of the Sterling Highway. Upon an attempt to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle failed to yield. Troopers units pursued the vehicle to a residence off Mackey Lake Drive. Asp proceeded into the residence. Troopers, Soldotna Police Department, State Parks, and U. S. Forest and Wildlife police responded to the scene. Asp later exited the residence unarmed and was arrested for failing to stop at the direction of a police officer and driving while license revoked, with no set bail. n On Aug. 28 at 8:41 p.m. the

Alaska State Troopers Bureau of Highway Patrol, South Central Team, stopped a 2005 Honda Pilot, after it was observed speeding on the Sterling Highway, traveling northbound near Mile 96 in Soldotna. Investigation revealed that the passenger, Jennifer Stroer, 41, of Soldotna, had a $2,500 warrant for her arrest. Stroer was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility for the warrant and held without bail for the new charge of violating conditions of probation. n On Aug. 27 at about 11:00 a.m., Alaska State Troopers was contacted by a 44-year-old male, of Soldotna, who reported that he had lost his dark blue Samsung Galaxy S-2 cell phone in the parking lot of the Girdwood Tesoro after he had set it down on the bed of his pickup. If you have or know someone who has found the phone, please contact the Alaska State Troopers Girdwood Post at 907-783-0972 during normal business hours.

A-12 Peninsula Clarion, Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Mother battles her own fears while raising happy daughter are the result of your history, they do not have to become a part of hers. DEAR ABBY: As I was going through my gallery of pictures in my cellphone, I stumbled upon some naked pictures of my ex-boyfriend. What should I do with them? — SAY “CHEESE” DEAR “CHEESE”: Do the same thing with them Abigail Van Buren that you would hope he did with the naked pictures he has of you. DEAR ABBY: I grew up in the lap of luxury at a private country club in the East. My father was the golf pro. In my teens I noticed that these wealthy people always introduced one acquaintance to another whenever they met for a chat. I also noticed that my lowerincome friends and family never did. After moving across the country to the West Coast as an adult, I have noticed that nobody — rich or poor — seems to go out of their way to introduce a new face to others in the room.

What would you say accounts for this? — DONNA IN LAS VEGAS DEAR DONNA: A person can’t do what he or she hasn’t been taught. During the 1960s, many parents stopped teaching their children social refinements like the one you describe. The result has been a lack of sensitivity in social interactions, and it is evident in more ways than this one. DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago I began using a name other than my given name. It’s one I made up and used during pretend games when I was a child, so it’s personally significant. A friend recently told me that because it is a common Japanese name, it is culturally inappropriate for me to use it because I am not Asian. It is also a name in Hebrew, German and Ancient Egyptian, as I recently learned. Is it wrong for me to use the name? — THE NEW “ME” IN COLORADO DEAR NEW “ME”: No, it’s not. You can call yourself any name you wish. Many parents have given their child a name from another culture because they liked the sound of it, and you don’t have to make any apologies for changing yours.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Virgo if born before 11:59 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Libra. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014: This year will be pivotal to your life history. One of your long-term desires could become a reality, and you will be delighted. Much goes on behind the scenes, and you might not be sure about the best way to proceed. Your professional status also could be enhanced this year. If you are single, know what or whom you desire, and you are likely to meet your match. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy life even more together than you have in the past. The mutual receptivity between you also will increase. Watch out for another LIBRA! This person could be jealous of you. 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) HHH Avoid appearing overly serious and demanding. What people don’t realize is that you demand even more from yourself. No one is harder on you than you. There could be some remorse later if you push a loved one too hard. Tonight: Let someone else dominate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be sorry that you pushed a child or new friend so hard, especially as this person appears to have closed down. You wanted a reaction, and you got a reaction. Think before you tromp on this person again. Encourage a discussion. Tonight: In the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Rubes

HHHH You could find yourself in a funk if you are not careful. Loosen up, and recognize that when you are positive, everything seems to fall into place. You might need to let go of a personal problem or handle it quickly, if possible. Tonight: Head on home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are much more emotional than you realize. Assuming a cool demeanor just might throw others off. You have some serious matters on your mind, and you need to resolve them. What has worked before might not be effective now. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. Don’t lose your grounding, especially where finances are concerned. You know what works for you. Work with a friend or loved one directly to get the results you desire. Tonight: Be a duo VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might feel unstoppable. You are not. Don’t push your luck, especially if you get a strange feeling about a situation. Back off. If you tap into your instincts, you could have a spectacular day. Be aware of the costs of a decision. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH Be aware of the costs of saying the wrong words, even if you think you are sure of yourself. The less said the better, though you might have to deal with some direct and uncomfortable questions. Honor your feelings, not your thoughts. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Ziggy

HHHH Focus on your long-term goals and what can happen, Refuse to get into a discussion of petty details, as it will prove to be irrelevant. Nevertheless, you and another person could use these discussions to beat each other up. Stop. Tonight: Go for peace and fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Pressure is likely to build to a level where you need to let off some steam. Try to keep your opinions to yourself right now. Express your caring, but hold back any negative thoughts. You will be relieved when the person in question opens up. Tonight: A must appearance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your ability to gain an overview will be marked by your actions. Take your time making a decision, and be sure to weigh the pros and cons. You will know when you are ready to act. Trust yourself and your ability to look at the big picture. Tonight: A must appearance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner has a lot to share. Stop and listen. You will be amazed by the possibilities that that might emerge as a result. Your caring side will grow, and you’ll have a newfound respect for this person. Tonight: Only with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Defer to others. One person could be unusually silent and withdrawn. Your caring will help melt barriers, but perhaps not as quickly as you might like. Your sensitivity could be more instrumental than you even are aware. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Avoid a candle calamity Dear Readers: Recently, I spoke to the members of the National Candle Association and got to chat with many folks there. Candles are more popular than ever! However, there are some very important SAFETY HINTS that you should know and use: * Make sure to place candles in an appropriate, sturdy position far from anything that will catch fire, such as drapes, or where they can’t be knocked over by pets or children. * Dust candles before lighting (a microfiber cloth is perfect), and you can dampen a towel with water to wipe off some of the grime. * If the wick starts to smoke or the flame gets too high, put the candle out. Use a candle snuffer rather than blowing out the flame to prevent wax from getting all over the place. * Candle wicks should be about 1/4 inch. If the wick is too long, it can cause the candle to burn unevenly. Keeping the wick short keeps soot low. * Lastly, always keep watch on a burning candle! Don’t leave it burning someplace where you can’t keep an eye on it, and don’t go to bed with one still burning! — Heloise P.S.: Please follow these hints! Don’t become a sad statistic because of a fire! Blinds repair Dear Heloise: When installing new or replacing old horizontal blinds, keep one or two extra slats at the bottom for future replacement. Trying to find a match if you need a new one in the future can be very difficult. — John R., Hot Springs Village, Ark.

DEAR ABBY: I had an awful childhood. After I was finally taken into state custody, I cycled through six different foster homes. Because of it I have struggled with mental health issues for as long as I can remember. I’m 28 now and have a 4-year-old daughter who is everything to me. The problem is, I’m terrified of strangers. As a child I saw firsthand how evil people can be, and I am almost paralyzed with fear because of my hyper-vigilance. I fight the battle every day. I am in counseling and I’m trying, but I am afraid I am going to make my daughter fear the world. She’s in Head Start and loves it. Anyone who meets her comments on how happy and outgoing she is, but I don’t know how to walk the tightrope between keeping her safe and making her afraid. Any advice would be appreciated. — TERRIFIED OF STRANGERS DEAR TERRIFIED: Considering your past, I think you’re being a wonderful mother. You are getting professional help and for that I applaud you. You are realistic about your issues, and your daughter appears to be thriving. You may need counseling for some time to avoid becoming overprotective and to allow your daughter to develop into a healthy adult. While your fears

Pet lovers all ears By JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — This summer, 7-year-olds who love bunnies and grandparents with spider monkeys gave an earful to West Virginia officials while they decided which animals are too dangerous to own. A woman snapped selfies with her savannah cat, a 10-year-old assured “there’s nothing bad” about dwarf hamsters, and a conservation educator guaranteed her critters pose no harm “requiring more than a kiss and a Band-Aid.” Those were a few ways animal lovers and pet store owners pleaded with the state not to forbid their favorite creatures. Sugar gliders, savannah cats, turtles, hedgehogs, ferrets, geckos, tetra fish and guinea pigs stirred up the most commotion, the state Department of Agriculture wrote in its rule. Reptile owners also spoke up. For the most part, pet people got their way. The final list of banned animals largely outlawed the likes of lions, rhinos, tigers, apes, gators and crocodiles — animals that people largely agree they don’t want to see in their neighbor’s backyard.

“At the end of the day, I think we made it really clear that the list of animals included in the rules were specific to animals that were truly exotic,” said Paul Johansen, Dangerous Wild Animals board member. It was an earlier, restrictive draft list that put animal enthusiasts in a tizzy. Some runof-the-mill animals like rabbits were allowed the entire time, and that wasn’t made clear enough, Johansen said. “Hedgehogs are not dangerous,” Christina Hannigan wrote in one of about 1,000 pages of public comment on the ban list. “Short-sighted, uneducated, ignorant legislators are dangerous.” Lawmakers were thinking preventatively when they passed the animal ban in March. They pointed to what happened in Zanesville, Ohio. In 2011, an eastern Ohio man released 50 exotic and potentially dangerous animals from his farm before he committed suicide. Fearing for the public’s safety, authorities killed 48 of the animals. Legislators left state agencies with the heavy lifting: figuring out which animals everyday people shouldn’t have. They had plenty of feedback.
