TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1782, the United States and Britain signed preliminary peace articles in Paris for ending the Revolutionary War; the Treaty of Paris was signed in Sept. 1783. In 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens — better known as Mark Twain — was born in Florida, Missouri. In 1874, British statesman Sir Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace. In 1900, Irish writer Oscar Wilde died in Paris at age 46. In 1960, the last DeSoto was built by Chrysler, which had de cided to retire the brand after 32 years. In 1982, the Michael Jackson album “Thriller” was released by Epic Records. In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the Brady Bill, which required a five-day waiting period for handgun purchases and background checks of prospective buyers. In 2000, Al Gore’s lawyers battled for his political survival in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts; meanwhile, GOP lawmakers in Tallahassee moved to award the presidency to George W. Bush in case the courts did not by appointing their own slate of electors. In 2004, “Jeopardy!” fans saw Ken Jennings end his 74-game winning streak as he lost to real estate agent Nancy Zerg.

CELEBRITY REPORT WWE’s John Cena to get Si’s Muhammad Ali Legacy Award WWE superstar John Cena is the recipi ent of this year’s Sports Illustrated Muham mad Ali Legacy Award. The award, which was announced Thursday, is given each year to an athlete or sports figure who embodies the ideals of sportsmanship, leadership and philanthropy while using sports as a platform. Cena will receive the award at the Sportsperson of the Year Awards show on Dec. 11 in Los Angeles. “To have a legacy award of any kind bestowed upon you is tremendous,” Cena said to The Associated Press. “To be in the company of people who have received this and to receive an honor named after Muhammad Ali is an honor that means so much to me.” Cena, a 16-time WWE Champion, has become synonymous with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He has granted nearly 600 wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses, which is more than anyone else involved with the program. “It really is a wonderful match. I never try to downplay that experience because a family has been given one wish and that is to meet you or hang out for an afternoon,” Cena said. Cena has been involved with the founda tion since early in his career with WWE. He has also been an advocate for breast cancer awareness and WWE’s relationship with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Cena’s younger brother is a survivor of Stage 4 brain cancer because of early detection. He went to WWE in 2012 after seeing what other sports were doing to raise awareness. “I saw baseball doing the pink bats, foot ball with the pink cleats and I asked why we weren’t doing anything. I pretty much established the connection and years later we have donated millions and helped a lot of people,” he said. Cena joins Colin Kaepernick (who received it last year), Magic Johnson, Jack Nicklaus, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jim Brown and Bill Russell as those who have received the award, which was established by Sports Illustrated in 2008 and renamed to honor Ali in 2015. Lonnie Ali, Muhammad Ali’s widow, and Sports Illustrated’s editorial staff help select the honorees each year. Sports Illustrated executive editor Ste phen Cannella said in a statement that Cena “might just be the most charitable person in sports, and his dedication to phi lanthropy richly reflects the spirit of the Ali Legacy Award.” Cena also sees receiving the award as another important milestone for WWE. He is starring in the film “Bumblebee,” which opens in late December, before returning to the wrestling ring later this month. “I kind of see this as both WWE and I accepting this. Every accolade like this WWE has been receiving more atten tion and respect for what we do,” he said. “WWE is my family.” Associated Press AROUND TOWN ^J, SUNDAY DEC. 2 GREEN STREET 4:30-7:15 PM DowntownGainesville.com WEATHER Gainesville 5-Day Forecast #AccuWeather download the free app HIGH: 54° LOW: 46° 57754° 69748° 61738° 52°/28 c RFT: 54750 ° 1 RFT: 69742 RFT: 60733 ° RFT: 47720 Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: 65% 55% 65% 55% 60% 35% RFT: The patented AccuWeather.com RealFeel Temperature® is an exclusive index of effective temperature based on eight weather factors.

Thoughtless people need your tolerance. Think of this as a test. If you fail it, cut yourself a break. It only means that your coping resources are already a bit stretched. Compassion starts with self-compassion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s much to be gained by suspending disbelief long enough to, say, get immersed in the world of a movie or understand the finer points of an argument you do not agree with. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the strength, guts and initiative to do things your way, which flies in the face of con vention and is sure to evoke bewilderment from most on lookers. In time, bewilderment will turn to admiration. CANCER (June 22-July22). Endings do not have to be fail ures; they don’t even have to be losses. Things end because it’s time for them to. Then the graceful thing is to acknowl edge the crowd with a bow and get off the stage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Re member when you thought you needed a Frappuccino but reaiiy needed an apple? Or you thought you needed a cookie and what you really needed was a support system? Today is different. You know exactly what you need. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Groups have personalities. No single person in the group is responsible for the entire personality of the group, but everyone contributes, and not equally. Pay attention to tone of the group on the whole. Is it for you? LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Some feelings are hard to name — combo platters of emotion with spice levels of varying intensity. Try to put words to it, if only for your own edification. The words will make the feel ings more palatable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone can click with some one who shares interests and general worldviews. It takes a superstar to find ways to con nect with people when such things are not readily apparent. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships are worth it no matter how short or long they turn out to be, no matter how lucrative or not the ar rangement is, or how frustrat ing or easy or fun or painful or thrilling. You’re better for it. That’s the takeaway. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Get the right tools for the job, even if it costs more or pushes back your start time. You’ll go in with higher enthusiasm and morale and avoid much frus tration throughout the life of the project. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18). The same location can repre sent “vacation and freedom” to one person and “work and obligation” to another. When you’re there because you want to be there, it’s an entirely dif ferent place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Here’s an approach to try that you just might find liberating because decision-making gets easier; instead of right or wrong, true or false, good or terrible, think of things as “for me” or “not for me.”
