Manafort trial turns from prosecution’s case to his defense ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Prosecutors rested their tax evasion and bank fraud case in the trial of former Trump cam- paign chairman Paul Manafort, closing two weeks of testimony that depicted him as using millions of dollars hidden in offshore accounts to fund a luxurious lifestyle — and later obtaining millions more in bank loans under false pretenses. The trial of the longtime Washington operator turns Tuesday to Manafort’s defense team, which has so far blamed any wrongdoing on Rick Gates, the former Manafort protege who testified he and his former boss committed crimes together for years. Defense attorneys have called Gates a liar, philanderer and embezzler as they’ve sought to undermine his testimony. Manafort’s lawyers have not yet said whether they will call any witnesses or present other evidence in the case. They will have to disclose that information Tuesday as the case reaches its final stages. The trial is the first to emerge from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, but it does not relate to any allegations FBI fires Peter Strzok in wake of Russian election interference or possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

Researchers say a new way of analyzing genetic test data may one day help identify people at high risk of a youthful heart attack in time to help. Today, gene testing mostly focuses on rare mutations in one or a few genes, like those that cause cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, or the BRCA gene responsible for a small fraction of breast cancer. It is less useful for some of the most common diseases, such as heart disease or diabetes, because they are influenced by vast numbers of genes-gone- wrong working together in complicated ways. Monday, researchers reported a new way to measure millions of small genetic variations that add up to cause harm, letting them calculate someone’s inherited risk for the most common form of heart disease and four other serious disorders. The potential cardiac impact: They esti- mated that up to 25 million Americans may have triple the average person’s risk for coronary artery disease even if they haven’t yet devel- oped warning signs like high cholesterol. “What I foresee is in five years, each person will know this risk num- ber, this ‘polygenic risk score,’ similar to the way each person knows his or her cholesterol,” said Dr. Sekar Kathiresan who led the research team from the Broad Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. If the approach pans out and doctors adopt it, a bad score wouldn’t mean you’d get a disease, just that your genetic makeup increases the chance — one more piece of information in deciding care. For example, when the researchers tested the system using a DNA database from In this July, 9, 2018, file photo, plaintiff DeWayne Johnson looks up during a brief break as the Monsanto trial Britain, less than 1 percent of people with the lowest risk scores were in San Francisco. Monsanto is being accused of hiding the dangers of its popular Roundup products.

The scoring system also can predict an increased risk of Type 2 diabe- tes, inflammatory bowel disease, breast cancer and an irregular heartbeat Jury awards $289M to man called atrial fibrillation, the team reported in the journal Nature Genetics — noting that next steps include learning what might likewise lower those risks.

ARCHIE Fernando Ruiz and Craig Boldman

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018: This year you open up to many new ideas and different people. You explore another segment of life that you have not been exposed to. Travel could play a significant role in your year. You will expose yourself to an eye-opening experience. If you are By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker single, your next sweetie could come from DUSTIN your experiences and consequent growth. If you are attached, the experience you seek will be shared by your significant other. Though you might not be growing at the same rate, these new experiences will feed your relationship. LIBRA adores 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 You are playful and full of zip after a somber morning. You wonder why you go through these ups and downs. Sometimes when you are depressed, the cause can be SCARY GARY Mark Buford rage turned inward. Unearthing this uncom- fortable feeling might be the right move. Tonight: Continue as you have been. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You tend to be gracious and caring. You might have a difficult time smiling through a hassle, especially as the situation could be handled at the drop of a hat. Honor a fast-changing situation, and stay up to date on what is happening. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHHH You open up to several different options, though a key person in your life DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni might minimize the importance of them. Do not allow this person’s attitude to get to you. Remain optimistic. You could become very strong-willed about what you need. Tonight: Do not push. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Stay centered and direct in your dealings. A question might arise that gives you cause to think and evaluate. Do not react automatically to a difficult person. Instead, choose to be gracious and willing to move in a new direction. Tonight: Count on a lively conversation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You have a habit of sometimes B.C. Mastroianni and Hart being overly content while everyone else gets tense, grumpy or difficult. In fact, someone might be irritated by your continu- ally upbeat attitude, as he or she simply cannot relate. Be supportive of this person. Tonight: Meet up with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Nothing is impossible. You often create barriers. You could retreat from a perceived restriction. If finances are involved, double-check your accounts against what you are hearing. Be discrimi- nating and cautious. Tonight: Organize your bills, then decide what you want to do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie what is happening. You would like to see others mesh more easily. Recognize your limits. You can do only so much. Be your cheerful self, and any heaviness will depart, though perhaps not as fast as you would like. Tonight: Be the lead actor. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might hear whispering and see others looking at you. This behavior might make you somewhat uncomfortable. Your strength and sense of direction can take you through any hassle, but do you want this type of behavior to go on? Tonight: Hang out at a favorite spot with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your sunny side emerges. You ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett share a lot of different information and seem more open to others. A friend might enjoy this side of your multifaceted person- ality. Do not allow a feeling of insecurity to affect what could be a fun day with a friend. Tonight: Worry less, play more. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to clear up a prob- lem ASAP. You will feel better and function on a higher level as a result. A boss eyes your performance, as he or she might be Cryptoquip thinking about giving you a promotion. Be open to suggestions, but don’t veer from your style. Tonight: Out with a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be too tired to continue ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe as you have been, but as long as you don’t run your body ragged, you will achieve a lot. A trip might be in the offing sooner than you think. Discussions might start as soon as today. Share your feelings as different ideas come up. Tonight: Go to a movie. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You break through a haze. You might not know what you want, but you have a clearer perspective. Your ability to relax emerges as a dominant force. You need to slow down and regroup. The picture you see will be better if you do. Tonight: Spend time with a favorite person. PAGE 14-TUESDAY, AUGUST 14,2018 ensure aspot. spot.
