Quakes leave Alaska capital shaken 800-mile pipeline shut down as crews look for damage By Rachel D’Oro and Dan Joling Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.0 and 5.7 shat- tered highways and rocked buildings Friday morning in Anchorage, sending people running into the streets and briefly triggering a warning to residents in Kodiak to flee to higher ground for fear of a tsunami. The warning was lifted without incident a short time later. There were no reports of any deaths or serious injuries. The U.S. Geological Sur- vey said the first and more powerful quake was cen- tered about 7 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, with a population of 300,000. People ran from their offices or took cover under desks. “It had my heart racing, and I felt a bit of motion sickness afterwards.

We’re proud.

Proud to be one of the few companies That is wholly defined by our audience. We never told people how to live. Or what to do. How to dress. Or how to feel. Honestly, who needs life advice from a beer?

No, our mission has always been this: Make a good beer at a fair price That’s there when you need a cold 12 ounces At the end of a hard day.

America looks wildly different than it did 175 years ago. But beneath it, the same values still ring. We’re still people who believe we can, and then do. We’re rule breakers and bridge builders. Some of us get up early, some stay up late. But we’re united across race, religion, and whatever the hell else, by a shared set of values: Honesty. Loyalty. Hard work. And being true to ourselves.

How lucky we are, to be defined by our people. We love who you’re becoming. We love what you’re making us. Cheers, America. Thanks for having us along for the ride.

Do you? — Janice Cody, Chicago The Trump effect Love him or hate him, one thing we all have to agree on: President Donald Trump has shaken up the political land- scape in the USA. The effects will be evident for years to come. For generations it was politics as usual. Politicians from both parties would pander to their respective bases, promising to deliver on their pledges to their constitu- encies. When it came down to it, however, they would bow to their leaders, who have always been in the pocket of big-money special interests.. Enter Donald Trump, the ultimate outsider. Politically incorrect, independently wealthy, beholden to no one, he upset the apple cart and sent the establishment of both parties into a tizzy. Using boundless energy, it’s full steam ahead, focusing on his populist big agenda. The nation has not seen this since the days of Andy Jackson in the 1830s. — Gary Ziolkowski, Crown Point, Ind.

BLACKHAWKS PISTONS 107, BULLS 88 Long road leads Perlini to Hawks Devoted to developing skills as kid in England, Canada By Jimmy Greenfield Chicago Tribune

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Kids who grow up playing hockey in Chicago will travel all over the Midwest in search of the best competition. That’s similar to how it was for Brendan Perlini during his childhood in England, albeit with a few slight differ- ences. Instead of going to Wisconsin, Michi- gan and Minnesota, the Blackhawks’ new forward — acquired this week in a trade that sent Nick Schmaltz to the Coyotes — would jump in the car with his family and head to rinks all over Europe. “We would drive 20 minutes to Dover, hop on a ferry and be in France,” Perlini said. “To do all that traveling from a young age, see so much, it was awesome. I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.” It was possible because Fred Perlini, Brendan's father, played professional hockey in England from 1986 to ’97 after an eight-game NHL career with the Maple Leafs. Fred grew up in Canada, but instead of returning with his family when he retired as a player, they remained in England, where he worked for another 10 years as a coach and administrator. That’s where Perlini was born and where he and his brother, Brett, learned to play the game. Despite facing interna- tional competition, England wasn’t ex- actly a hockey hotbed. So when the family moved to Canada when Brendan was 11, the hockey part came as a shock. “When I moved there it was like, holy cow, these guys are unbelievable,” he said. “When you’re playing and practic- ing with them every day, you get much PAUL SANCYA/AP better as a kid.” Bulls guard Zach LaVine, who scored a season-low eight points Friday night, goes for a layup against the Pistons during the second half. After a few years, the family relocated again, this time to the Detroit area in order to be closer to Michigan State, where Brett was playing. That allowed Brendan to join a remarkable youth team that included fellow future first-round picks Dylan Larkin, Kyle Connor and Stumbling blocks Zach Werenski. “It’s pretty neat,” said Perlini, who was UP NEXT and successful freshman season at Duke. drafted 12th by the Coyotes in 2014.

WEEK 13 PICKS High stakes for Steelers, Chargers By Rich Campbell, Dan Wiederer Chicago Tribune

Tribune reporters Rich Campbell and Dan Wiederer are picking against the spread and each other this season. Here are their Week 13 selections. (10 points for a win, minus-10 for a loss) Season scoreboard: Wiederer 30, Camp- bell minus-30 Game of the week Chargers (plus 3½) at Steelers Campbell (7-4-1): Chargers. The night- time start enables the Chargers to avoid that awkward 10 a.m. body-clock kickoff. And they’re 4-1 straight up on the road, including a win in London. Even without Melvin Gordon, Philip Rivers has enough weapons to keep this within a field goal. Dan Wiederer (5-6-1): Steelers. In a bright lights, big stage game with AFC playoff implications, here’s a vote of confidence in the Steelers finding a way to rally at home after last week’s narrow loss to the Broncos. It won’t be easy against Philip Rivers and a Chargers team that might be the most under-the-radar playoff team in the league.

Chicago Tribune | Chicago Sports | Section 2 | Saturday, December 1, 2018 9 eNEWSPAPER BONUS COVERAGE For Boeheims, Saturday will be big family night By Matthew Gutierrez Special to The Washington Post

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Nobody bothers Jim Boeheim on game days. Not his coaching staff. Not his wife. Not his children. He prepares by lounging in his bedroom, watching cooking shows, reading, thinking, studying — just being alone. But once, about 15 years ago, his son, Buddy, walked into his dad’s bedroom with a board game tucked under his arm. “Wanna play Candy Land?” He felt he couldn’t say no. He obliged. “One game, that’s it,” he told him. Buddy won the first. His father needed another chance. And another. They played long enough that Jim’s wife, Juli, peeked inside the room to check in. That competitiveness has dogged Boeheim his entire life, and he’s passed it down to both of his sons. The younger, Buddy, this season fulfilled a lifelong dream of playing for Syracuse, where he’s a freshman guard. His older son, Jimmy, is a sophomore forward at nearby Cornell. Boeheim, 74, is in his 43rd season as the head man at Syracuse, the oldest coach in Division I hoops. Soon the Boe- heim basketball convergence that seemed destined will unfold. Soon they will get down to family business. As Jim prepares to coach one son against the other Saturday night in Syracuse, he recognizes familiar faces will be all around the court. He hasn’t said anything to his family about the signifi- cance of the game. “Not one word,” his wife, Juli, said this week. Last year, all he did before his Orange played Cornell was send Jimmy, then a freshman, a text the night before: “I love you, good luck.” “I know one thing,” Boeheim said Wednesday, after the Orange (4-2) beat No. 16 Ohio State. “Both better play or I’m not going home.” Boeheim has been embedded in Syracuse’s culture since he walked on to the basketball team as a freshman in 1962, then stayed on as an assistant coach making $10,000 in his first season. He earned $25,000 during his first year as head coach, 1976, and now makes about $2 million per sea- son. Living in Central New York ELSA/GETTY his entire life, it might seem as if Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim walks in front of the bench during a game against Oregon on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York. he has everything he ever wanted: national title, five Final Fours, 930 wins (101 were vacated by the NCAA). This weekend’s game is another item for his personal legacy. “Just when you think he’s ac- complished everything, what else is there to do?” said Juli, his wife of 21 years. “Then we get this, something we can tell our grand- kids. It’s such a blessing and a gift, even though it’s stressful. This might be the cherry on top.” The Boeheim family reunion highlights the ties between family and sport. A father may not have ever coached one son against another in college basketball his- tory; Boeheim said he wasn’t aware of another example. Two brothers have faced off on occa- sion. In 2017’s national champi- onship game, Villanova’s Kris Jenkins played his adopted brother, North Carolina’s Nate Britt. In the 1992 NCAA tourna- ment, Duke’s Bobby Hurley played Seton Hall’s Dan Hurley. In 1999, Wisconsin’s Duany Duany played at Syracuse against his brother, Kueth. Buddy and Jimmy understand the rarity of Saturday, although Jimmy said he hadn’t thought about playing his brother and NICK LISI/AP JESSICA HILL/AP father until Wednesday night.

AP PHOTO A’sAn artist’s rendering releasedchoose Wednesday by the A’s shows an interior view ofwaterfront the club’s proposed new ballpark at Howard Terminal in Oakland, Calif. for site of ‘futuristic’ ballpark

By Gary Peterson East Bay Times

The Oakland A’s announced Wednesday they plan to build a futuristic ballpark on the Howard Terminal waterfront site to re- place the aging multi-purpose Oakland Coliseum and field the team by 2023. An illustration of the new ballpark shows a facility with a jewel box design, which A’s presi- dent Dave Kaval touted as “like nothing you have ever seen.” He said the ballpark is being designed by the Danish architec- tural firm Bjarke Ingels Group. The new ballpark would have a seating capacity of about 34,000. The team plans to break ground on the 55-acre property in 2020, or 2021 at the latest, Kaval said. Kaval said the team is commit- ted to privately financing the stadium but did not specify how much it’s expected to cost, adding it is too early to determine that. In a column for this news organiza- tion in September, sports consult- ant and former A’s executive Andy Dolich estimated construction of the new ballpark at $600 million, although that figure wasn’t tied to BEN MARGOT/AP this particular proposal. Oakland A’s President Dave Kaval, center, gestures beside Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf during a news conference.
