Kansas man jailed for alleged stabbing 

Coming off its third and final bye week of the season, Kansas State begins the final run of the 2020 regular season with the first of two road games, a contest at No. 17 Iowa State on Saturday inside Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa. 

The game, which has implications for one of the top two spots in the Big 12 standings, kicks off at 3 p.m., and will be shown on FOX with Tim Brando (play-by-play), Spencer Tillman (analyst) on the call. Fans can also catch the game on SiriusXM (S: 106, X: 382, Internet: 972) in addition to the TuneIn app.

• K-State is looking to bounce back from a pair of losses prior to its bye, the latest being a narrow 20-18 setback to No. 14 Oklahoma State that dropped the Wildcats to 4-3 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 play.

• The Wildcats are playing out the rest of the season with a true freshman quarterback in Will Howard, who is in line to start his fifth-straight game on Saturday. With wins in his first two starts at TCU and against Kansas, he became the first K-State true freshman signal caller to win his first two starts under center.

• Another true freshman, running back Deuce Vaughn, continues to impress as he leads the team in rushing and receiving, the only player in the Big 12 to lead his team in both categories.

• Vaughn is also one of only two players in the nation to eclipse 300 rushing yards and 300 receiving yards in 2020, joining Clemson running back Travis Etienne.

• K-State is one of only two teams in the nation to have true freshmen start at least four games at both quarterback and running back, the other being Georgia Tech.

• A pair of senior linebackers from Georgia, Justin Hughes (43) and Elijah Sullivan (39), are among the Wildcats’ top tacklers, along with safety Jahron McPherson (42).

• A total of 16 Wildcats have tallied at least a half tackle for loss, while nine players have at least one sack. The list includes junior Wyatt Hubert, who is first nationally among non-seniors in career sacks at 17.0, just one sack away from entering the school’s career top-10 list.

• Another senior, tackle Drew Wiley, also ranks in the top 15 in the Big 12 in both sacks and TFLs.

• McPherson and Gardner lead the team with a pair of interceptions as they are tied for third in the Big 12 in total interceptions. Gardner also ranks second the Big 12 and 25rth nationally in passes defended.

• Kansas State’s special teams ranks first nationally in efficiency according to ESPN thanks in large part to a blocked kick in each of the first four games and two punt return scores against Kansas by Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week Phillip Brooks.

• Senior place kicker Blake Lynch is 10-for-14 this season, including a 2-for-3 mark from 50 or more yards. He connected on a game-winning 50-yarder at Oklahoma, while he set a new career long with a 53-yarder at TCU.

• Iowa State comes off its bye week with a 5-2 overall record and a 5-1 mark in Big 12 play thanks in part to a 38-31 comeback victory over Baylor on November 7.

• Cyclone running back Breece Hall is the top rusher in the Big 12 with 147.7 yards per game and 13 touchdowns, marks that rank fourth and tied for third in the nation, respectively.

• Brock Purdy has thrown for 1,477 yards and 10 scores this season, while he is also Iowa State’s second leading rusher with 194 yards and three scores on the ground.

• Purdy’s favorite target this season has been Xavier Hutchinson, who has 35 catches for 407 yards and three touchdowns.

• Tight end Charlie Kolar is the Cyclones’ second-leading receiver with 23 catches and three touchdowns, while another tight end in Chase Allen has a pair of scores.

• Iowa State ranks fourth in the Big 12 in total defense (360.1 yds/gm), second in rushing defense (108.4 yds/gm) and tied for fifth in scoring defense (26.7 pts/gm).

• The Cyclones’ leading tackler is linebacker Mike Rose, who has 56 stops to go along with 6.0 tackles for loss.

• Rose is also the team leader in interceptions with three, including one in the end zone in Iowa State’s last game against Baylor to halt a potential Bear scoring drive. A LOOK AT THE SERIES

• Iowa State leads the all-time series, 50-49-4, but K-State has won 11 of the last 12 meetings and is 25-5 in the last 30 meetings between the programs.

• K-State saw a 10-game winning streak over the Cyclones come to an end two years ago in Ames in a 42-38 ISU victory, Iowa State’s first victory in the series since a 31-20 win in 2007.

• The Wildcats quickly made amends in last year’s regular-season finale in the form of a 27-17 victory, a game that featured scoring runs by both teams. K-State scored the first 14 points of the game before ISU came back with 17-straight points to take a three-point lead. The Wildcats then scored 13-straight points of their own – capped by a field goal by Blake Lynch with 3:04 left – for the victory. ONE OF THE BIG 12’S BEST

• K-State continues to quietly rank among the Big 12’s best teams since the league began in 1996. The Wildcats are third with 122 victories behind Oklahoma and Texas.

• The Cats also rank third in winning percentage since round-robin play began in 2011. They sit at 60.9% (53-34), trailing only Oklahoma (81.6%; 71-16) and Oklahoma State (65.1%; 56-30). No other team is above 60%.

• After finishing the 2019 campaign with a 5-4 record, K-State is trying to put together consecutive years of winning conference records.

• If the Wildcats were to have another winning campaign in conference play, Chris Klieman would become the first head coach in school history to begin his tenure with consecutive winning seasons in league action.

• This year marks the 104th-consecutive season Kansas State and Iowa State will meet on the gridiron, which is one of the longest uninterrupted series in FBS history.

• The current streak of 103 ranks seventh among active uninterrupted series but will move to sixth after 2020 as Clemson and South Carolina are not scheduled to play.

• Of the top seven uninterrupted series entering 2020, K-State is involved in two of them (Kansas).

• Kansas State has played many young players this year as a total of 48 underclassmen (freshmen and sophomore) have seen action in at least one game, representing 54.5% of the 88 Wildcats that have played this season.

• Of the group, 24 freshmen have played, including four&nbsp; that have tallied starts in right tackle Cooper Beebe (5), quarterback Will Howard (4), running back Deuce Vaughn (4) and defensive back Will Jones II (2).

• K-State is one of just two teams in the nation to have true freshmen start at least four games at both quarterback and running back (Georgia Tech).

• When taking the entire roster into account, the Wildcats have 65.4% of its players (83-of-127) that are underclassmen, a figure that ranks sixth nationally among teams that have played at least three games this season.

• K-State has used the beginning of the 2020 season to break in new starters as the Wildcats have 17 first-time starters this season.

• That figure is tied for fourth nationally among Power 5 programs.

• A proven winner with a championship history, Chris Klieman holds an 84-21 career record as his 80.0% winning percentage is tied for 11th among all NCAA coaches – regardless of division – among those with at least seven full years of experience.

• Klieman came to Manhattan after capping his five-year stint as head coach at North Dakota State by winning his fourth national championship in 2018. A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Klieman guided the 2018 Bison to a perfect 15-0 record, making NDSU just the fifth team in FCS history to go undefeated and untied on the way to a national championship.

• One of the formulas of success for Kansas State under Chris Klieman is winning the turnover battle as the Wildcats are plus-four this season in turnover margin to rank second in the Big 12.

• K-State has turned its 11 turnovers gained this season into 42 points (6.0 points/game), while opponents have scored 21 points (3.0 points/game) off a total of seven turnovers by the Cats.

• K-State is the nation’s best in non-offensive touchdowns over the last 22 seasons as it has 122 since 1999, 12 more than the next closest team.

• Kansas State had three non-offensive touchdowns in the win against Kansas as Phillip Brooks returned two punts for scores, and Justin Gardner had a pick-six.

• It was the first time the Cats had three non-offensive scores in one game since doing so against Montana State in 2008, while it was the first time K-State had a punt return score and a pick-six since the 2007 Texas game.

• K-State has had at least five non-offensive scores in seven of the last nine years and is one shy of hitting that mark again in 2020.

• K-State has put together five scoring drives of 90 yards or longer this season, which is tied with the 2008 squad for the most by the Wildcats dating back to 1991.

• The five drives this year spanned 92 yards against Arkansas State, 97 yards against Texas Tech, 94 yards against KU and a pair of 91-yard drives at TCU, one of which resulted in a field goal.

• When combining it with last year’s total, K-State has eight scoring drives that have spanned at least 90 yards, which is the most in a two-year span dating back to 1991.

• Last season, K-State had touchdown drives of 97 yards (Nicholls), 95 yards (TCU) and 98 yards (Iowa State).

• The long drives this season have been aided by six plays from scrimmage of at least 60 yards, K-State’s most in the first seven games of a season since at least 2002.

• K-State finished the 2019 season with 39-straight scoring trips inside the red zone, the most by the Wildcats since at least 2003. That helped K-State finish first in the nation with a 96.2% conversion rate.

• The Wildcats began the year with 24-straight scores inside the red zone to push their streak out to 63-straight before a fumble against Oklahoma State. K-State’s red zone scoring streak of 63 was the best by the Wildcats during the Big 12 era (56 between 2015 and 2016).

• Despite the setback against the Cowboys, K-State still ranks fifth nationally among teams that have played at least three games and tops in the Big 12 with a 96.2% scoring rate.

TAKE CARE OF THE FOOTBALL • In 20 games under head coach Chris Klieman, K-State has only committed 17 offensive turnovers, including seven this season. The first turnover this year was an interception at TCU as the Wildcats went 211 minutes, 53 seconds into the season prior to their first turnover.

• Last season, K-State tied for first in the Big 12 with only 14 turnovers lost, but three were on punt returns and one was on an interception return.

• The Wildcats enter this week tied for seventh nationally in fewest turnovers lost among teams that have played at least six games. WILLING K-STATE TO VICTORY • A native of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Will Howard earned his first-career start at TCU and became the first K-State true freshman QB to win his first-career road start.

• For his effort against the Horned Frogs, Howard was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

• He backed that up with a win in his first start in a home game against Kansas, becoming the first Wildcat true freshman quarterback to win his first two career starts.

BIG PLAY WILL • One of the reasons Will Howard has found early success is that he has been involved in four of K-State’s six plays from scrimmage that have spanned at least 66 yards.

• Against Texas Tech, Howard threw a 70-yard, game-clinching touchdown pass to Deuce Vaughn, while he also had a 66-yarder to Briley Moore earlier in the fourth quarter to set up the go-ahead score.

• It was the first time a K-State quarterback threw two passes of at least 65 yards in the same game since Jesse Ertz in the 2017 season opener against Central Arkansas.

• Then, on the third offensive play of the game at TCU, Howard ran 80 yards to set up an early field goal. It was the seventh-longest run ever by a Wildcat and the second longest by a K-State quarterback (91 yards by Ell Roberson against Nebraska in 2002).

• He tallied another long run against Oklahoma State when he went 69 yards to set up a touchdown just before halftime.

MAKING A SPLASH • K-State doesn’t only have a true freshman quarterback making headlines, running back Deuce Vaughn has been on fire to begin his collegiate career.

• Vaughn is one of only two players in the nation this season to tally at least 300 rushing yards and 300 receiving yards. The other is Clemson senior running back Travis Etienne (634 rushing, 491 receiving).

• A product of Round Rock, Texas, Vaughn is also the only player in the Big 12 to lead his team in both rushing yards and receiving yards.

• Vaughn has already etched his name in the K-State record book. He ranks in the top five in four K-State freshmen categories, while he is fourth in school history in single-season receiving yards among running backs (more info on pages 50-51).

DEUCE ON THE LOOSE • Deuce Vaughn has put together three games of at least 150 yards from scrimmage as he did so against Oklahoma (194 yards), Texas Tech (174 yards) and Kansas (152 yards), holding three of the top eight scrimmage-yard efforts among all true freshmen in the nation.

• At No. 3 Oklahoma, he became the fifth running back in school history – and first freshman – to tally a 100-yard receiving game. It was the fifth most in a single game by a running back in Big 12 history and the most by a freshman.

• For his efforts against the Sooners and Red Raiders, Vaughn was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week following both contests.

MOORE OFFENSE • One of the top tight ends from the FCS level in 2018, Briley Moore is in his second senior season and his first campaign at K-State.

• Moore, a transfer from Northern Iowa, has started his Wildcat career on the right foot by as he has a team-leading 19 receptions for 271 yards and three touchdowns. Through seven games, those are already the best by a Wildcat tight end for an entire season since Zach Trujillo had 19 catches for 389 yards in 13 games during the 2014 season.

• His three receiving touchdowns this year are tied for fourth in school history among tight ends and two shy of tying the record (Henry Childs, 1972).

UNDER AVERAGE • Last season, Kansas State held 11 of its 12 opponents under their season scoring averages for the season, including double-digit differences in Big 12 play against Oklahoma State (-18.5), TCU (-20.2), Kansas (-17.8), Texas (-12.1) and Iowa State (-17.1).

• It has been more of the same for the Wildcats in Big 12 play in 2020 under new defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman as the Wildcats held five of their first six conference foes below their scoring averages entering the game.

• K-State enters this week’s game ranked fourth in the Big 12 in scoring defense by allowing 26.0 points per game. The Wildcats’ 23.5 points allowed in conference play ranks third.

STRONG AT THE START • One of the main reasons K-State has been able to limit other offenses throughout the year is a strong start as each of the Wildcats’ seven opponents this year have come up empty on their first possession of the game.

• K-State has forced a trio of three-and-outs on its first defensive possession this season, while the Cats have allowed only five total first downs and 109 total yards (15.6 yds/gm).

• In the 20 games under Chris Klieman dating back to last year, the Wildcats have allowed only six total points in opponent’s first possessions which were field goals last year by Oklahoma and Navy.

BEHIND THE LINE • A total 17 Wildcats have totaled at least a half tackle for loss – including 10 that have notched at least 2.0 – to give the Wildcats 47 stops behind the line this season.

• K-State’s 47 TFLs through seven games are the most since the 2006 team had 58 in their first seven contests.

• This year’s total has been given a boost the last two games against West Virginia and Oklahoma State when K-State totaled nine and eight TFLs, respectively. Their nine TFLs against the Mountaineers were K-State’s most since the 2016 regular-season finale at TCU (11.0).

MEET ME AT THE QB • Similarly, K-State has also been consistent in sacking the quarterback this season, coming away with at least one sack in every game and totaling at least three in five of its seven contests.

• The Wildcats have 19 sacks through seven games this season, their most through the first seven games of a campaign since the 2007 squad at 20.

• Kansas State enters this week’s game tied for 25th nationally and fourth in the Big 12 in total sacks.

EARLY INTERCEPTIONS • The Kansas State defense has started the 2020 campaign with seven interceptions, tying for 24th in the nation and ranking second in the Big 12.

• The Wildcats’ high-water mark this year was three in the win at No. 3 Oklahoma. It was K-State’s first three-interception game since the 2018 contest at West Virginia.

WYATT’S COMING FOR YOU • One of the top young defenders in the Big 12 the last two seasons has improved as a junior as Wyatt Hubert is back after earning First Team All-Big 12 honors in 2019.

Teen charged for fatal shooting at Kansas home

Today is Monday, Nov. 16, the 321st day of 2020. There are 45 days left in the year. 

On Nov. 16, 1933, the United States and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations. 

In 1776, British troops captured Fort Washington in New York during the American Revolution.

In 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the union.

In 1914, the newly created Federal Reserve Banks opened in 12 cities. 

In 1960, Academy Award-winning actor Clark Gable died in Los Angeles at age 59. 

In 1970, the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar jetliner went on its first test flight, from Palmdale, Calif.

In 1982, an agreement was announced in the 57th day of a strike by National Football League players. 

In 1991, former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards won a landslide victory in his bid to return to office, defeating State Rep. David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader.

In 2001, investigators found a letter addressed to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., containing anthrax; it was the second letter bearing the deadly germ known to have been sent to Capitol Hill. 

In 2004, President George W. Bush picked National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to be his new secretary of state, succeeding Colin Powell.

In 2006, Democrats embraced Nancy Pelosi as the first female House speaker in history, but then selected Steny Hoyer as majority leader against her wishes. 

In 2017, Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken became the first member of Congress to be caught up in a wave of allegations of sexual abuse and inappropriate behavior, after a Los Angeles radio anchor accused him of forcibly kissing her and groping her during a 2006 USO tour. (Franken eventually resigned from the Senate.)

In 2018, a U.S. official said intelligence officials had concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta. 

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor to Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, the first living service member from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars to receive the nation's top military award. U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel was convicted on 11 of 13 charges related to financial misconduct, prompting fellow lawmakers to censure the 80-year-old New York Democrat. The engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton was announced in London. Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen, 64, was shot to death in her car on Sunset Boulevard. (Police believe the killer was Harold Martin Smith, who took his own life when confronted by officers.) Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies unanimously won the NL Cy Young Award.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, in Turkey for a meeting of world leaders, conceded that the Paris terror attacks were a "terrible and sickening setback" in the fight against the Islamic State, but forcefully dismissed critics who had called for the U.S. to change or expand its military campaign against the extremists. Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was a unanimous pick as NL Rookie of the Year, and Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa was voted the AL honor. Actor David Canary, 77, died in Wilton, Connecticut.

One year ago: Transcripts released in the impeachment inquiry showed Ambassador Gordon Sondland playing a central role in President Donald Trump's effort to push Ukraine to conduct political investigations as a condition for receiving needed military aid. Trump went to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for what he later described as a "very routine physical"; it had not been on Trump's public schedule, raising suspicions about the president's health. At the last minute, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick skipped a workout arranged by the NFL at the Atlanta Falcons' training complex to which all 32 teams had been invited, and instead held a workout on a high school field 60 miles away, open to the media. (The NFL had scheduled its workout after Kaepernick claimed that the league had blackballed him for kneeling in protest during the national anthem.)

Sherri L. Brock

Today is Sunday, Nov. 15, the 320th day of 2020. There are 46 days left in the year. 

On Nov. 15, 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman began their "March to the Sea" from Atlanta; the campaign ended with the capture of Savannah on Dec. 21. 

In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation. 

In 1806, explorer Zebulon Pike sighted the mountaintop now known as Pikes Peak in present-day Colorado. 

In 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was established as its new president, Manuel L. Quezon, took office. 

In 1937, at the U.S. Capitol, members of the House and Senate met in air-conditioned chambers for the first time. 

In 1942, the naval Battle of Guadalcanal ended during World War II with a decisive U.S. victory over Japanese forces. 

In 1958, actor Tyrone Power, 44, died in Madrid, Spain, while filming "Solomon and Sheba." (Power's part was recast with Yul Brynner.) 

In 1959, four members of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, were found murdered in their home. (Ex-convicts Richard Hickock and Perry Smith were later convicted of the killings and hanged in a case made famous by the Truman Capote book "In Cold Blood.") 

In 1966, the flight of Gemini 12, the final mission of the Gemini program, ended successfully as astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. splashed down safely in the Atlantic after spending four days in orbit. 

In 1969, a quarter of a million protesters staged a peaceful demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War.

In 1974, the disaster movie "Earthquake" was released by Universal Pictures in "Sensurround," which bombarded the audience with low-frequency sound waves during the quake scenes. 

In 1984, Stephanie Fae Beauclair, the infant publicly known as "Baby Fae" who had received a baboon's heart to replace her own congenitally deformed one, died at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California three weeks after the transplant. 

In 2007, baseball player Barry Bonds was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice, charged with lying when he told a federal grand jury that he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. (Bonds was later convicted on the obstruction of justice count; the conviction was overturned in 2015.)

Ten years ago: A House ethics committee panel began closed-door deliberations on 13 counts of alleged financial and fundraising misconduct by U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who walked out of the proceeding after pleading unsuccessfully for more time to raise money for a lawyer. (Rangel was convicted the next day of 11 rules violations.) San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and Texas Rangers closer Neftali Feliz were voted the Rookies of the Year.

Five years ago: World leaders vowed a vigorous response to the Islamic State group's terror rampage in Paris as they opened a two-day meeting in Turkey, with President Barack Obama calling the violence an "attack on the civilized world" and Russian President Vladimir Putin urging "global efforts" to confront the threat. P.F. Sloan, 70, the troubled songwriter behind such classic 1960s tunes as Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man" and Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," died in Los Angeles.

One year ago: The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified to House impeachment investigators about her removal from the post amid criticism from President Donald Trump's allies; as she testified, Trump tweeted fresh attacks on her, saying that things "turned bad" everywhere she served before he fired her. Roger Stone, a longtime Trump friend and ally, was convicted of all seven counts in a federal indictment accusing him of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation of whether Trump coordinated with Russia during the 2016 campaign. (As Stone was about to begin serving a 40-month prison sentence, Trump commuted the sentence.) Members of the United Auto Workers union voted to approve a new contract with Ford. The NFL suspended Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns for at least the rest of the season, after Garrett ripped off the helmet of Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph and struck him in the head with it.

 </figure>By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSToday is Sunday, Nov. 15, the 320th day of 2020. There are 46 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 15, 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman began their "March to the Sea" from Atlanta; the campaign ended with the capture of Savannah on Dec. 21. On this date: In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation. In 1806, explorer Zebulon Pike sighted the mountaintop now known as Pikes Peak in present-day Colorado. In 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was established as its new president, Manuel L. Quezon, took office. In 1937, at the U.S. Capitol, members of the House and Senate met in air-conditioned chambers for the first time. In 1942, the naval Battle of Guadalcanal ended during World War II with a decisive U.S. victory over Japanese forces. In 1958, actor Tyrone Power, 44, died in Madrid, Spain, while filming "Solomon and Sheba." (Power's part was recast with Yul Brynner.) In 1959, four members of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, were found murdered in their home. (Ex-convicts Richard Hickock and Perry Smith were later convicted of the killings and hanged in a case made famous by the Truman Capote book "In Cold Blood.") In 1966, the flight of Gemini 12, the final mission of the Gemini program, ended successfully as astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. splashed down safely in the Atlantic after spending four days in orbit. In 1969, a quarter of a million protesters staged a peaceful demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War.In 1974, the disaster movie "Earthquake" was released by Universal Pictures in "Sensurround," which bombarded the audience with low-frequency sound waves during the quake scenes. In 1984, Stephanie Fae Beauclair, the infant publicly known as "Baby Fae" who had received a baboon's heart to replace her own congenitally deformed one, died at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California three weeks after the transplant. In 2007, baseball player Barry Bonds was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice, charged with lying when he told a federal grand jury that he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. (Bonds was later convicted on the obstruction of justice count; the conviction was overturned in 2015.)Ten years ago: A House ethics committee panel began closed-door deliberations on 13 counts of alleged financial and fundraising misconduct by U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who walked out of the proceeding after pleading unsuccessfully for more time to raise money for a lawyer. (Rangel was convicted the next day of 11 rules violations.) San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and Texas Rangers closer Neftali Feliz were voted the Rookies of the Year.Five years ago: World leaders vowed a vigorous response to the Islamic State group's terror rampage in Paris as they opened a two-day meeting in Turkey, with President Barack Obama calling the violence an "attack on the civilized world" and Russian President Vladimir Putin urging "global efforts" to confront the threat. P.F. Sloan, 70, the troubled songwriter behind such classic 1960s tunes as Johnny Rivers' "Secret Agent Man" and Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," died in Los Angeles.One year ago: The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified to House impeachment investigators about her removal from the post amid criticism from President Donald Trump's allies; as she testified, Trump tweeted fresh attacks on her, saying that things "turned bad" everywhere she served before he fired her. Roger Stone, a longtime Trump friend and ally, was convicted of all seven counts in a federal indictment accusing him of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation of whether Trump coordinated with Russia during the 2016 campaign. (As Stone was about to begin serving a 40-month prison sentence, Trump commuted the sentence.) Members of the United Auto Workers union voted to approve a new contract with Ford. The NFL suspended Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns for at least the rest of the season, after Garrett ripped off the helmet of Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph and struck him in the head with it.
