From Van Wert County

Director Rick McCoy
The Van Wert County
Emergency Management
Agency is warning of a pos-
sible severe weather event
Sunday night and is asking
that the public monitor con-
ditions very closely as the
storm system gets closer.
“A significant weather sys-
tem is poised to hit the Plains
into the Ohio Valley and
Great Lakes over the week-

storm systems that produce
large, strong tornadoes that
do considerable amounts of
damage and injure or take
lives. I am hoping that the
storms take a bit of a turn but
the potential is there for it to
affect us,” Agency Director
Rick McCoy said.
On Wednesday, the
National Weather Service
began conference calls with
area Emergency Managers
putting them on alert for
Sunday’s storms. The
National Weather Service said
this particular storm system
has the potential to be a major
weather event for the area.
It has the potential to pro-
duce devastating damage, not
the typical isolated-scattered
reports of an average severe
weather event. Areas from
Iowa to Ohio will be affected
and it appears that it may
occur across the Van Wert
area overnight on Sunday
night through early Monday
morning. The National
Weather Service has said a

RIO DE JANEIRO —
Grieving families gathered
today to bury 12 children
gunned down in the halls of
their elementary school, an
unheard-of act of school vio-

struggling for answers.
Ten girls and two boys
between the ages of 12 and
15 were gunned down, most
shot in the head at point-
blank range by 23-year-old
Wellington Oliveira, who
shot and killed himself after
being confronted by police.
At least 12 other students
were injured in the Thursday
shooting at the Tasso da
Silveira public school. Two
are in grave condition.
Neighbors wandered
past the school in a shocked
daze today, leaving flowers

fact that the National Weather
Service is keying in on this
particular storm so early is of
concern. There is still much
uncertainty due to current
models of the upper-level
trough, so forecasts could
certainly change. With tem-
peratures expected around 81
degrees on Sunday, with dew
points around 70 and a 105-
knot jet overhead, the stage
will be set for the event so
people should prepare in case
it all develops and affects our
county.
“Hopefully, with more
severe weather predicted
this spring due to the strong
La Nina that caused such an
active winter, people have
reviewed emergency plans
and know how to respond if
warnings are issued. Our goal
is not to scare the public but
we have the responsibility to
let the public know that this
severe weather threat exists.
With Van Wert County lead-
ing the state in tornadoes in
the last 20 years with 20 tor-
nadoes actually hitting the
county, I think the public
understands the importance
of being ready.”
There are many different
ways of getting information
regarding weather forecasts
and warnings when storms are
occurring. Listed are some of
the possibilities that exist:

NATO: No apology for
hitting rebels in tanks
By SLOBODAN LEKIC
The Associated Press
BRUSSELS — NATO
acknowledged today that its
airstrikes had hit rebels using
tanks to fight government
forces in eastern Libya, but
said it would not apologize for
the deaths because no one told
them the rebels had tanks.
British Rear Adm. Russell
Harding, the deputy com-
mander of the NATO opera-
tion, said in the past, only
forces loyal to Libyan strong-
man Moammar Gadhafi had
used heavy armored vehicles.
Harding says the military
situation between Libya’s east-
ern coastal towns of Brega and
Ajdabiya remains fluid, with
the two sides engaged in a
series of advances and retreats,
making it difficult for pilots to
distinguish between them.
NATO jets attacked a rebel
convoy between these two
towns Thursday, killing at
least five fighters and destroy-
ing or damaging a number of
armored vehicles.
The strikes, including an
attack earlier this week, pro-
voked angry denunciations of
Japan

today and were forced to ration
purchases again.
Still, the latest quake did
far less damage, generated no
tsunami and largely spared the
region’s nuclear plants. Some
slightly radioactive water
spilled at one plant, but the
tsunami-crippled Fukushima
Dai-ichi complex reported no
new problems.
Matsuko Ito, who has been
living in a shelter in the small
northeastern city of Natori since
the tsunami, said there’s no get-
ting used to the terror of being
awoken by shaking. She said
she started screaming when the
quake struck around 11:30 p.m.
“It’s enough,” the 64-year-
old while smoking a ciga-
rette outside. “Something
has changed. The world feels
strange now. Even the way the
clouds move isn’t right.”
The latest tremor — the
strongest since the day of the
tsunami — cut power to more
homes, though it was quick-
ly restored to many. About

Obama, GOP scramble
to halt gov’t shutdown
By BEN FELLER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — temporary federal spending
Uncomfortably close to a
deadline, President Barack
Obama and top congressional
leaders have only hours to
avert a midnight government
shutdown that all sides say
would inconvenience mil-
lions of people and damage a
still fragile economy.
Obama said he still hoped
to announce an agreement
today but did not have “wild
optimism.”
In revealing nothing about
what still divides them,
Obama and the lawmakers,
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, and Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
all said another late night of
talks in the Oval Office had
narrowed their differences
over cutting federal spending
and other matters.
But Obama said omi-
nously that the machinery of
a shutdown was already in
motion.
“I expect an answer in
the morning,” Obama told
reporters Thursday evening
as representatives from the
White House and Capitol Hill
plunged ahead with negotia-
tions into the night.
The aides were trying to
cobble together a deal on
how much federal spending
to slash, where to cut it and
Govt wants to reduce health disparities
By LAURAN
NEERGAARD
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — From
cradle to grave, minority pop-
ulations tend to suffer poorer
health and get poorer health
care than white Americans. In
a first-of-its-kind report, the
government is recommending
steps to reduce those dispari-
ties.
The plan being released
Friday runs the gamut from
improving dental care for
poor children to tapping “pro-
motoras,” savvy community
health workers who can help
guide their Spanish-speaking
neighbors in seeking treatment.
But it acknowledges that
giving everyone an equal shot
at living a healthy life depends
on far more than what hap-
pens inside a doctor’s office
— or steps that federal health
officials can take.
“It’s also a product of where
people live, labor, learn, play
and pray,” Dr. Howard Koh,
assistant secretary of Health
and Human Services, told The
Associated Press. “We really
need a full commitment from
the country to achieve these
goals.”
HHS wouldn’t put a dol-
lar figure on its own pend-
ing projects, but said it plans
to pay for them with money
already in hand and not sub-
ject to Congress’ ongoing
Poll: Few confident US ready for nuclear emergency
MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Most
Americans doubt the U.S.
government is prepared to
respond to a nuclear emer-
gency like the one in Japan,
a new Associated Press-GfK
poll shows. But it also shows
few Americans believe such
an emergency would occur.
Nevertheless, the disaster
has turned more Americans
against new nuclear power
plants. The poll found that 60
percent of Americans oppose
building more nuclear power
plants. That’s up from 48
percent who opposed it in an
AP-Stanford University Poll
in November 2009.
The Associated Press-GfK
poll comes as Japan contin-
ues to struggle with a nuclear
crisis caused by a March 11
earthquake and tsunami. The
crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant has leaked radi-
ation into the environment
and radioactive water gushed
into the Pacific Ocean. Japan
was rattled by a strong after-
shock and tsunami warn-
ing Thursday, but officials
reported no immediate sign
of new problems.
The poll finds that about a
fourth of those surveyed were
what caveats to attach as part
of a bill to fund the gov-
ernment through Sept. 30. A
measure expires at midnight
today.
As the pressure mounted,
Obama abruptly postponed
plans to promote his agenda
in Indiana on today.
For a nation eager to trim
to federal spending but also
weary of Washington bicker-
ing, the spending showdown
had real implications.
A closure would mean
the furloughs of hundreds of
thousands of workers and the
services they provide, from
processing many tax refunds
to approving business loans.
Medical research would be
disrupted, national parks
would close and most travel
visa and passport services
would stop, among many
others.
Obama spoke after a dou-
ble-barreled day of meetings
with Boehner and Reid. The
three have held four such
meetings this week.
Throughout Thursday, the
president, Reid and Boehner
bargained and blustered by
turns, struggling to settle their
differences while maneuver-
ing to avoid any political
blame if they failed.
With the economy just
now beginning to create jobs
in large numbers, the presi-
dent said a shutdown would
budget battle.
The tight economy casts
doubt on how much states
and other groups may be
able to chip in, said Dr. Paul
Jarris, executive director of
the Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials.
But “we’ll never be a
healthy nation unless we
address these inequities,”
Jarris said. “There’s a lot of
momentum finally building”
to do so.
Recent years have brought
some improvements in health
disparities, although racial
and ethnic minorities still lag
in many areas — from higher
infant mortality rates to lower
overall life expectancy. In
between, they’re more likely
to suffer from a host of ill-
nesses such as diabetes, heart
disease, kidney disease and
asthma.
Part of the problem is
access to care: Minorities
make up more than half of
the 50 million people who
are uninsured, the HHS report
says. The Obama adminis-
tration’s year-old health-care
overhaul addresses some of
the insurance gaps.
But there’s a growing
appreciation that disparities
are more complex. Even geog-
raphy plays a big role — in
shared ancestry and customs,
local industry, easy access to
fresh fruits and vegetables,
and how easy and safe it is
highly confident that the U.S.
government is prepared to han-
dle a nuclear emergency, while
almost three-fourths were only
somewhat or not confident.
But many people doubt
such an emergency will hap-
pen in this country.
About three in 10 think
such an emergency is
extremely or very likely,
compared with seven in 10
who think it is only some-
what or not likely. Among
people who think a disaster is
highly likely, almost eight in
10 lack confidence the gov-
ernment would be ready.
Even among those think
it’s not too likely or not at
all likely to happen, almost
two-thirds still lacked confi-
dence the government would
be ready.
Nancy Hall of Long Beach,
Calif., said the Japanese crisis
has not soured her on nuclear
power.
“Well, despite the disaster
in Japan, I think that nuclear
power still has a lot of advan-
tages over fossil fuels, ” she
said, noting that nuclear ener-
gy, unlike oil, does not funnel
money to “Middle East dicta-
tors” and is not as polluting
as coal-fired power plants.
“You have to keep in mind
that gas and coal are con-

damage the recovery.
“For us to go backwards
because Washington couldn’t
get its act together is just
unacceptable,” he said.
But agreement remained
elusive.
Republicans passed legis-
lation through the House at
midday to fund the Pentagon
for six months, cut $12 bil-
lion in domestic spending and
keep the federal bureaucracy
humming for an additional
week.
“There is absolutely no
policy reason for the Senate
to not follow the House in
taking these responsible steps
to support our troops and to
keep our government open,”
Boehner said.
Obama flashed a veto
threat even before the bill
passed on a 247-181, mostly
party-line vote. The admin-
istration issued a statement
calling it “a distraction from
the real work” of agreeing
on legislation to cover the
six months left in the current
fiscal year, and there was no
indication Reid would allow
a vote on it.
As they left the White
House after the evening meet-
ing, Reid and Boehner issued
a brief written statement that
said they had narrowed their
disagreements and said they
would “continue to work
through the night to attempt to
resolve” the remaining ones.
to get physical activity in a
particular community.
Among the HHS plans
outlined in today’s report:
—Working with states to
increase by 10 percent the
number of poor children who
receive preventive dental
care, including cavity-block-
ing sealants.
—Hiring trusted local peo-
ple to serve as community
health workers who can help
diabetics understand and stick
to their doctor’s care instruc-
tions. A Medicare pilot pro-
gram has begun in Mississippi
and Texas, and will spread to
other areas.
—Increasing use of trained
promotoras, the Spanish term
for those trusted locals. Head
Start will use them to direct
parents to health services.
—Developing reimburse-
ment incentives to improve
the quality of care for minor-
ity populations, such as better
prevention of heart disease
and strokes.
—New studies comparing
which treatments work best
for diabetes, asthma, arthritis
and heart disease in minority
populations.
—Creating an online
national registry of certified
interpreters that doctors or
hospitals can use for patients
who don’t speak English.
—State grants to measure
and improve community asth-
ma care.
stantly polluting, day in and
day out, and we don’t even
think about it,” she said.
Hall, 36, a linguistics pro-
fessor, lives within a four-
hour drive of two nuclear
plants but said she is not too
worried about either one.
“I do hope the government
is looking carefully at how
to safeguard them,” she said.
“But truthfully, nuclear power
is not at the top of my list of
worries.” Of more immediate
concern: The building where
she works is not earthquake-
proof.
The poll indicates that
nearly one in four Americans
lives within 50 miles of a
nuclear power reactor. Those
who reported living within 50
miles of a nuclear plant were
not significantly more or less
likely to have confidence in
the government’s ability to
handle a nuclear disaster.
Those who live close to
nuclear power plants were
less likely to be strong oppo-
nents of building more nucle-
ar power plants than those
who live farther away. A total
of four in 10 of those who
live more than 50 miles from
a plant strongly oppose build-
ing new ones, compared with
three in 10 who say they live
within 50 miles of a plant.

PANDORA — Thursday
afternoon felt more like late
fall than early spring but none-
theless, the Kalida Wildcats
and Pandora-Gilboa Rockets
took to the diamond for base-
ball action in a Putnam County
League battle.
The Rockets scored a run
in the first inning but Kalida
battled back with three in the
top of the second and never
relinquished it, coming away
with a cold, blustery 7-4 vic-
tory.
Logan Recker registered
three runs batted in to make
the difference for the Wildcats;
a bases-loaded double in the
top of the second to give the
visitors a 3-1 advantage. Nick
Guisinger was 2-of-4 with an
RBI.
Lefty Paul Utendorf started
on the mound for Kalida but
was injured on a play in the
fourth inning. Jared Zeller
came on in relief and struck
out five of the 14 batters he
faced, giving up just one run
and three hits.
Reed Hovest had the offen-
sive bat for the Rockets with a
2-for-3 performance: a double
and a triple with a run batted
in.
P-G got the scoring started
in the first when the afore-
mentioned Hovest led off
with a double and moved to
third on a throwing error; that
played perfectly into Rocket
coach Matt Dubay’s hand.
Nate Schutz came to the plate;
on a 2-1 pitch, he laid down a
perfect suicide squeeze bunt
up the first-base line, scoring
Hovest from third and giving
the Rockets a 1-0 lead.
Kalida threatened in their

half of the first but with two on
and just one out, Rocker pitch-
er Josh Breece got Kristopher
Osterhage to strike out and
retired Tyler Heitmeyer on a
foul pop to first base, preserv-
ing the Rocket 1-0 advantage.
However, Breece would not
be as fortunate in the second;
the Wildcats took the lead for
good, scoring three runs after
two were out. Recker hit a
bases-clearing double with a
shot down the third-base line.
Kalida would tack on one
more run in the third when
Osterhage led off the inning
by being hit by the first pitch;
the senior stole second and
moved to third on a wild pitch,
setting up a run-scoring 6-3
grounder as Osterhage was
able to move on the slow-
rolling grounder, giving the
‘Cats a 4-1 advantage.
Utendorf retired all three
P-G batters he faced in the bot-
tom of the third and the Kalida
offense went back to work in
their half of the fourth. Kevan
Unverferth led off the frame
with a single, stole second
and came around to score on a
Utendorf single. After Recker
flied out to center, Guisinger
lined a double up the middle,
bringing in Utendorf and giv-
ing the guests a 6-1 advan-
tage.
If anything, the young
Rockets are a no-quit, play-
until-the-final-out team.
Schutz started off the home
half of the fourth with a single
and came around to score on
a Breece triple. Breece then
scored on a throwing error
when the delivery in from the
outfield hit off of his foot,
off of Utendorf and into the
Rocket dugout, allowing
Breece to score and cutting
the Rocket deficit to 6-3.
Utendorf was injured on
the play and had to leave the
game, Zeller came on in relief
on the mound; after giving up
a single to the second batter
he face, the junior got Alex
Osborn to hit a grounder to
second to retire the side.
The ’Cats added one more
run in their half of the fifth
inning when for the second
time in the game their leadoff
hitter would reach after being
hit by a pitch; Heitmeyer
took one in the back on a
1-2 count, then stole second
and came around to score on
a Unverferth single to right,
giving the visitors a 7-3 lead.
P-G threatened in their half
of the frame when R. Hovest
lined a triple into right but
would be stranded at third
after Zeller got back-to-back
strikeouts to end the inning.
Neither team posed much
of a scoring threat the rest of
the way, with Zeller retiring
seven of the last eight batters
he faced.
Kalida moves to 3-0 (1-0
PCL) on the season while the
Rockets fall to 1-3 (0-2).

Lefty scrambles his way
into contention at Augusta
By PAUL NEWBERRY
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Phil
Mickelson drove it behind
towering Georgia pines. He
knocked it under azalea bushes
blazing with color. No one hit
fewer fairways than the defend-
ing Masters champion.
Yet when he got to the 18th
hole, there were noth-
ing but pars and birdies
on his card.
This was
Scrambling 101 and it
was good enough to
keep Lefty in conten-
tion for another green
jacket.
“I missed it in spots
where I could get up
and down, in spots
where I knew ... I had
a good angle,” Mickelson said.
“I scrambled well to stay in
but I also let four or five good
birdie opportunities slide. I’m
going to have to capitalize on
those opportunities if I’m going
to go low.”
Mickelson took his lone
bogey at the final hole after
knocking his second shot over
the green but still goes into
today’s second round just
five strokes behind rising star
Rory McIlroy and long-hitting
Spaniard Alvaro Quiros, who
shared the lead at 7-under 65.
It was a deficit that didn’t
look all that daunting, especial-
ly after Mickelson hit only four
out of 14 fairways Thursday
— the worst percentage in the
99-player field.
Not surprisingly, he headed
straight from the 18th hole to
the practice range, looking to
work out the kinks in his swing
before sundown.
Imagine the possibilities if
he can actually keep it in the
short grass.
“It’s OK, just OK,”
The Associated Press
NBA
CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored
30 points and the Chicago Bulls closed
in on the top seed in the Eastern
Conference by beating the Boston
Celtics 97-81 on Thursday.
The Bulls’ 17th win in 19 games
put them four games up on Boston
and Miami with four to play and elimi-
nated the Heat from getting the No. 1
seed. Luol Deng scored 23 points and
Carlos Boozer added 14 points and
12 rebounds.
The Celtics, who play the Heat on
Sunday, still have a mathematical shot
albeit a remote one. Paul Pierce led
Boston with 15 points. Kevin Garnett
scored all 10 of his points in the sec-
ond half.
Trail Blazers 98, Jazz 87
SALT LAKE CITY — Gerald
Wallace scored 29 points and Nicolas
Batum added 21 to lead Portland
over Utah.
Wallace scored 20 points in the
second half as the Blazers wore down
the injury-hampered Jazz, who had
only nine healthy players. The win
moved Portland (46-33) into sole
possession of the sixth spot in the
Western Conference, a half game
ahead of New Orleans.
The loss assured Utah (37-42) of
its second losing season in 28 years.
Devin Harris, who returned after miss-
ing five games with a strained ham-
string, tied a career best with five
3-pointers and led the Jazz with 26
points but also committed seven turn-
overs.

NHL
NEW YORK — Rob Schremp and
Andrew Ladd scored 15 seconds apart
in the second period, Ondrej Pavelec
made 29 saves and the Atlanta
Thrashers delivered a crushing blow
to the New York Rangers’ playoff
hopes with a 3-0 victory Thursday
night.
New York looked flat from the start
without second-leading scorer and
leader Ryan Callahan. That proved
costly against the also-ran Thrashers,
who beat New York for the third time
in the 4-game season series.
New York leads ninth-place
Carolina by two points but the
Hurricanes have two games remain-
ing and own the tie-breaker over the
Rangers.
Eric Boulton added a goal for
Atlanta in the third period.

assist and Dallas remained in the play-

Mickelson said of his 70. “I
didn’t shoot myself out of it
but I didn’t make up ground on
the field the way I wanted to, so
I’ve got to go do it.”
There were plenty of red
numbers on the scoreboard
after Round 1. The world’s best
golfers were able to attack the
venerable course on a warm,
sunny day with only a hint of
a breeze, the pins
positioned more
favorably than
they’ll likely be the
rest of the week.
A pair of South
Koreans, Y.E.
Yang and K.J.
Choi, were at 67.
Matt Kuchar and
Ricky Barnes were
the top Americans
at 68. Seven oth-
ers were in the 60s, including
2008 Masters champ Trevor
Immelman and a rejuvenated
Sergio Garcia, resuming his
chase for that first major title.
Tiger Woods wasn’t too far
back, either, posting a 71 that’s
right around his norm for a
first day at Augusta National,
where he’s won four times and
almost always puts himself in
contention.
“Hey, it’s a long way to
go,” said Woods, mired in the
longest winless streak of his
career. “We have a long grind
ahead of us. The temperature
is supposed to warm up and
I’m sure they will start making
the pins a little more difficult
as the week goes on. I’m right
there in the ballgame. I’m only
six back.”
Those guys at the top of
the board are more proof that
a new generation of golfers is
on the way, even at a place that
embraces its past.
The 21-year-old McIlroy,
who opened with a 63 at St.
Andrews last summer in the

Brenden Morrow and Tom
Wandell added goals for the Stars,
who improved to 93 points with road
games left against Colorado tonight
and Minnesota on Sunday. They drew
even in points with Calgary for the
No. 9 slot in the West but Calgary has
been eliminated with one game left
because of tie-breakers. Dallas is two
points behind Chicago and Anaheim
for the final Western Conference play-
off berth. The Ducks and Blackhawks
also have two games remaining.
Brandon Yip and Mark Olver

Canucks 5, Wild 0
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
— Ryan Kesler scored three goals,
Mason Raymond had two, Roberto

Daniel Sedin added two assists

102 and the Canucks added to their
franchise record-setting 115-point
season. Luongo has four shutouts this
season and 55 overall.
Niklas Backstrom stopped 18-of-

British Open, again delivered
exquisite shots on one of the
biggest stages. It was such
a clean round that he didn’t
make a bogey and was left
wondering how much lower
he could have gone if not for
missing five birdie chances
inside 10 feet.
“It wasn’t maybe as exclu-
sive or spectacular as the 63
at St. Andrews,” he said. “But
it was very solid from start to
finish.”
McIlroy spent the afternoon
watching the late starters on
television, wondering if anyone
could match his score. No one
did until the 28-year-old Quiros,
playing in the final group.
Considered the longest
hitter in the game, the lanky
Spaniard blasted away on a
course where he had never shot
better than 75. Finally, he spun
an approach back to 3 feet on
the 18th hole to catch McIlroy
atop the leaderboard.
“Time to do it, isn’t it?”
asked Quiros, who lit up the
course with his smile as much
as his shotmaking. “Finally, I
played well. I was lucky, too. I
holed putts.”
Indeed he did, including
a 20-footer at the 14th after
he drove behind a tree, then
got himself into more trouble
when his next shot ricocheted
off a limb. He had to punch
out into the fairway, put his
fourth shot on the green and
knocked in a 20-footer for his
only bogey of the day.
He broke into another big
smile. He knew it could’ve
been much worse.
Quiros was joined in the last
group by two other big hitters:
Gary Woodland and Jhonattan
Vegas. Both are Augusta new-
comers who qualified in recent
months with their first PGA
Tour win — more examples of
a shift toward youth, two play-
put the Indians ahead in their fourth
straight victory.
David Ortiz drew a 2-out walk in
the Boston ninth and McDonald ran for
him. J.D. Drew bounced a single that
ricocheted off pitcher Chris Perez and
went to third baseman Adam Everett.
McDonald rounded second base too
far, fell down and tried to scramble
back to the bag. Everett made a snap
throw to second baseman Orlando
Cabrera that nailed McDonald.
Orioles 9, Tigers 5
BALTIMORE — Adam Jones
homered and drove in three runs,
Mark Reynolds also had three RBIs

Dershowitz speaks in Norway, kind of

Ask Orthodox Jews in Norway where one
can find a fresh shoulder of kosher beef and
they will give the same answer -- nowhere.
There is more to this obscure fact than a
clash between Jewish tradition and the con-
cerns of animal-rights activists in today’s
Europe, Harvard Law School professor Alan
Dershowitz told a Jewish forum in Oslo. This
is a symbolic fact about tensions that sur-
round Jews in Norway.
“You live in the only country in the world
today that does not permit kosher shechita,”
he said, at the city’s Chabad House. “Shech-
ita” is a rite in which a skilled Jew uses an
extremely sharp blade to swiftly sever an
animal’s trachea, esophagus and the arteries
and veins of the neck, allowing blood to drain
out.
“They wonder why there are only 800
Jews or 900 Jews living in Norway. This is a
country that permits the butchering of seals,
the butchering of whales, but not this ritual
slaughter -- which has been proved by every
scientific means to be one of the most humane
means of slaughter.”
The audience grasped the big idea behind
his words, since this March 25 event -- which
was recorded -- was held in an outreach cen-
ter for observant Jews. How can Jews honor
the details of their ancient faith without keep-
ing kosher?
TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
However, Dershowitz noted that when he
asked other Jewish community leaders about
any anti-Semitic trends in Norway, all they
would say is that “things are wonderful,” be-
fore falling silent.
“How can things be wonderful,” he added,
“if you can’t have your own meat? How do
you deal with the meat here? Do you have to
bring it in from England?”
Someone in the audience quietly replied:
“We don’t talk about certain things.”
Among First Amendment and criminal-law
attorneys, few are as famous and infamous as
Dershowitz. He joined the Harvard faculty
in 1964 and, three years later, was promoted
to full professor at age 28. Even a brief sum-
mary of his courtroom career would include
a gallery of clients such as porn star Harry
“Deep Throat” Reems, British socialite Claus
von Bulow and O.J. Simpson. In the 1970s,
his attempts to defend Russian dissident Ana-
toly Scharansky made global headlines.
Dershowitz didn’t travel to Norway just to
talk about dietary laws.
The goal was to lecture about legal affairs
and, especially, the role of international law in
Israeli-Palestinian conflicts through the years.
However, the Zionist group that organized the
tour -- the International Christian Embassy in
Jerusalem -- found that Norwegian academic
leaders were not anxious to have Dershowitz
lecture on their campuses, at no expense to
the hosts.
The dean of the Bergen University law
faculty, according to Dershowitz, said the
school would “be honored to have professor
Dershowitz give a lecture on the O.J. Simp-
son case, as long as he promises not to say
a word about Israel.” The Harvard professor
has written six books about the Middle East,
advocating a two-state solution to the Israel-
Palestinian standoff.
Israel was the key, in part because of 2009
debates at Norwegian universities about a
proposed boycott of Jewish Israeli schol-
ars and others who support Israel. However,
rather than focusing on recent conflicts about
occupied territories, Dershowitz noted that
the text defining the boycott began by saying:
“Since 1948 the state of Israel has occupied
Palestinian land and denied the Palestinians
basic human rights.”
In addition to challenging the founding of
the state of Israel, the first academic leader to
sign the boycott petition also offered a harsh
critique of the “egocentric ... tribe-mentality”
among Jews in Israel, Norway and “all over
the world.”
While Norwegian leaders keep talking
about dialogue on these issues, said Dershow-
itz, it will be hard for Jewish leaders to take
part in bridge-building efforts if their voices
are not allowed to be heard.
The only previous time in his career in
which he was turned away from major univer-
sities was in “apartheid South Africa, when I
was Nelson Mandela’s lawyer.”
The bottom line: Boycotts do not promote
dialogue.
Based on recent events, Dershowitz said
it appears Norwegian intellectuals want “dia-
logue with Hamas, but not with Dershowitz.
Dialogue with Hamas, but not with Israel. ...
Dialogue with people that we agree with, but
not with people we disagree with. This is not
dialogue. This is a one-way monologue.”

Jury prospects asked if
they are Jackson fans
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Lawyers in the case against
Michael Jackson’s doctor want
to know if prospective jurors
were fans of the pop star, how
much they know about his
death, and how familiar they
are with 27 different prescrip-
tion drugs he may have taken.
A 29-page questionnaire
with those and other questions
was released Thursday after
prospects who said they could
serve on the two-month trial
of Dr. Conrad Murray finished
answering its 117 questions.
Candidates were asked if
they had ever seen Jackson
or his family members in per-
son, whether they own his
records or DVDs, attended
his concerts or saw his post-
humous concert movie, “This
is It,” and if so why they
watched it.
In one section, prospects
were asked if they knew any
of the more than 100 poten-
tial witnesses. Included on
the list were Jackson’s three
children — Prince, Paris and
Blanket — as well as his par-
ents, brothers and sisters.
Large chunks of the ques-
tions involved familiarity with
drugs and exposure to media
coverage of the case, includ-
ing Internet and social media
postings. Jury prospects also
were asked if they had ever
posted blog entries about the
case.
In a section headlined,
“Attitudes about celebrities
and people in the news,” they
were asked, “Do you think
that people of wealth or fame
are treated differently in the
court system?”

Malinosky’s life goes into extra innings
By Gary Clothier
Q: Who is the oldest-
living Major League Baseball
player? -- M.R., Sparta, Wis.
A: As of this moment, it
would be Tony Malinosky,
who entered the world on
Oct. 7, 1909. Playing for
1937 Brooklyn Dodgers,
he appeared in 35 games,
splitting time between third
base and shortstop. He hit
.228 (18 for 79, including
two doubles), with seven
runs scored and three RBI.
His career ended because of
a knee injury. Drafted into
the Army after baseball, he
fought at the Battle of the
Bulge during World War II.
After the war, he worked at
North American Aviation and
then owned and operated a
trailer park in California. He
lives in Oxnard, Calif., and
still watches the Dodgers, his
old team, on TV.
Q: Daniela Ruah, who
stars on the television series
“NCIS: Los Angeles,” is a
fascinating actress; her right
eye adds to the fascination.
Can you tell me more about
her condition? -- R.A., via
e-mail
A: Daniela Ruah’s eyespot
is just a birthmark that gives her
one black eye and one hazel.
The stunning cast member of
“NCIS: Los Angeles” portrays
Kensi Blye.
Did you know ... John
Wayne turned down the
lead role in “The Dirty
Dozen” (1967)? Lee Marvin
eventually won the part.

Notably, there was no
mention in the questionnaire
of Jackson’s highly publicized
acquittal after his child moles-
tation trial in 2005
Murray has pleaded not
guilty to involuntary man-
slaughter. He is accused of
gross negligence for adminis-
tering the anesthetic propofol
and other sedatives to Jackson
before he died.
The trial is likely to focus
on his competence based par-
tially on his reactions after
Jackson stopped breathing on
June 25, 2009.
Jury prospects were asked,
“Do you have any positive
or negative feelings or opin-
ions about Conrad Murray or
Michael Jackson?”
Lawyers also wanted to
know if they had ever taken
prescription drugs, including
propofol, and a long list of
sedatives and mood altering
drugs.
The lawyers also wanted
to know if they had friends
or family members who were
ever addicted to prescription
drugs, and if they themselves
had been in a drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program.
In addition, prospects had
to disclose if they were ever
involved in an emergency
medical situation and whether
that would prejudice them in
deciding the case.
The answers of prospective
jurors will be released when
they are questioned in person
beginning May 4.
In another development,
Murray’s lawyers filed six
motions to exclude from
testimony “sexually scan-

Philip Mick Jagger
Jagger is
an English-born (1943) mega-
rock star; he rose to fame in
the 1960s as frontman of The
Rolling Stones. He has been
involved in a number of high-
profile romantic relationships.
Married twice, Jagger has
fathered seven children by
four women. With Marsha
Hunt, he has a daughter
Karis (1970). With his first
wife, Bianca Jagger, he has a
daughter, Jade (1971). With
his second wife, Jerry Hall,
he has a daughter Elizabeth
(1984), a son James (1985), a
daughter Georgia (1992) and
a son Gabriel (1997), giving
your co-worker bragging
rights. Also, he has a son,
Lucas (1999), with Luciana
Gimenez. By the way, on
Dec. 12, 2003, Jagger became
Sir Mick, knighted for his
services to music.

3-2-1-blastoff to space shuttles’ last destination

By MARCIA DUNN
Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — As the 30th
anniversary of the first space shuttle launch
draws near, the focus is not so much on the past
but the future: Where will the shuttles wind up
once the program winds down?
Twenty-one museums and science and visi-
tor centers around the country are vying for one
of NASA’s three retiring spaceships. They’ll
find out Tuesday on the 30th anniversary of
Columbia’s maiden voyage.
Snagging Discovery, Atlantis or Endeavour
for display doesn’t come cheap. NASA puts the
tab at $28.8 million. Consider that a bargain.
Early last year, NASA dropped the price from
$42 million.
One space shuttle is already spoken for — the
Smithsonian Institution is getting Discovery,
NASA’s oldest and most traveled shuttle that
ended its flying career last month. It will go to
the National Air and Space Museum’s hangar
in Virginia and take the place of Enterprise, the
shuttle prototype used for tests in the late 1970s.
That frees up Enterprise for another museum,
so there will be three other winners — a 1-in-7
chance.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr., a
former shuttle commander, is making the final
decision, with input from a committee. He’ll
announce the winners Tuesday while mark-
ing the 30-year anniversary at Kennedy Space
Center, NASA’s launch and landing site, and the
front-runner in the nab-a-shuttle race.
The festivities could end up being delayed if
the federal government shuts down.
As the big day looms, shuttle suitors are get-
ting anxious and pulling out all the stops.
Even the prime contender, the Kennedy Space
Center Visitor Complex, is jittery despite its “knock
your socks off” endorsement from NASA’s shuttle
launch director. The commercially run tourist site
wants to suspend the shuttle over visitors, with the
payload bay doors wide open as if in orbit and the
robot arm outstretched.
“We’re extraordinarily nervous. We don’t
sleep much these days,” Bill Moore, chief operat-
ing officer for the visitor complex, said this week.
“Three of anything in the world, it’s going to get
awfully competitive. And three of the shuttles, I
think, even raises the bar.”
NASA originally had four space shuttles.
Challenger was destroyed during liftoff in 1986,
and Endeavour was built as a replacement. Then
Columbia was lost in 2003.
Columbia was the first to fly on April 12,
1981, 20 years to the day that Soviet cosmonaut
Yuri Gagarin became the world’s first spaceman.
Tuesday will mark the 50th anniversary of his
flight.
Endeavour is set to soar late this month, and
Atlantis will close out the shuttle program with a
summer liftoff.
All this was set in motion in 2004 by President
George W. Bush. President Barack Obama stuck
to the shuttle-ending agenda, but canceled Bush’s
moon exploration plans, preferring to have
NASA aiming for an asteroid and Mars while
private companies take over taxi trips to and from
the International Space Station.
Discovery, the first to be retired, should be
ready this fall for its piggyback ride atop a modi-
fied jumbo jet to Washington. Before it can go
on public display, the shuttle has to be drained of
toxic fuel and contaminated plumbing removed.
NASA also wants to pull out some pieces for
analysis, to help in the development of future
spaceships. No main engines will be includ-
ed; they’re available separately to museums for
merely transportation and handling costs.
Community officials, from mayors to mem-
bers of Congress, are making their final pitches
to score a shuttle, just over two years after the
initial call went out. Plans for exhibition halls are
getting grander. Online polls are popping up, as
well as online petitions. Astronauts are putting in
their two cents’ worth.
In Houston, home to NASA’s astronaut corps
and Mission Control, four widows and one
widower of the fallen Challenger and Columbia
astronauts are speaking out. They’d like shuttles
to go to the Space Center Houston tourist stop
next door to Johnson Space Center, Kennedy and
the Smithsonian.
For the other bidders, “we suggest that NASA
share with them some of the invaluable pieces of
the shuttle legacy,” the astronauts’ spouses wrote
in a letter to Bolden.
A main engine or other artifact wouldn’t
equal a shuttle, but the Tulsa Air and Space
Museum and Planetarium in Oklahoma still
would embrace it. Curator Kim Jones’ dream
would be to land Enterprise, which made an
appearance in Tulsa in 1979.
“We’re very hopeful. But yes, we’re up
against some big guns,” Jones acknowledged
Wednesday.
Some of the hot contenders: National Museum
of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio; Intrepid
Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York
City; Museum of Flight in Seattle; and Adler
Planetarium in Chicago.
Officials at each institution are giddy over the
extra ticket sales a space shuttle would generate.
“There are so many good choices across the
country, so I don’t really want any part and I’m
not going to make a recommendation,” Steven
Lindsey, the commander of Discovery’s final
journey, told The Associated Press from orbit
last month.
Lindsey hopes Discovery is displayed so the
“entire public can see Discovery as we see her,
and as the people who have worked on her at
Kennedy Space Center see her.”
The skipper of the last shuttle flight,
Christopher Ferguson, is rooting for Houston.
He’ll fly Atlantis into orbit at the end of June on
the 135th and final shuttle voyage.
“To me, this is the center of the human space-
flight universe,” Ferguson told reporters last
month at Johnson Space Center.
The $28.8 million price tag is based on
NASA’s estimate for transporting a shuttle from
Kennedy to a major U.S. airport, atop a modi-
fied jumbo jet, and for displaying it indoors
in a climate-controlled building. The cost will
vary, depending on the locale. Kennedy’s visitor
complex, for example, is just five miles down the
road from the shuttle hangar, a short tow trip.
“We’re not quite sure how to pick it up over the
guard gate,” Moore said. “I told somebody today, I
tell you what, we’ll knock it down and build them
a new one. It will still come out cheaper.”

Gov. calls for peer teacher evals
By BETH FOUHY and ANGELA DELLI SANTI
Associated Press
NEW YORK — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday
called for public school teachers to be evaluated based equally on
their classroom performance and student achievement and accused
the state’s largest teachers union of being a group of “bullies and
thugs.”
Christie laid out his proposal in a speech in New York sponsored
by the Brookings Institute, a Washington think tank. A teachers
union spokesman called the governor’s plan an “educational disas-
ter.”
Since taking office last year, the Republican Christie has
emerged as a popular figure among conservatives nationally for his
willingness to confront public employee unions, including teach-
ers, over their salaries and pensions. Several other governors have
since followed suit, saying such benefits for public employees are
unsustainable over time.
Christie kept up the anti-union drumbeat Thursday, referring
to the New Jersey Education Association as a bunch of “bullies
and thugs” who pressured the Democrat-controlled Legislature to
resist reform. “I don’t know how they sleep at night,” he said of
the union.
Christie spoke broadly about the need to reform public educa-
tion, saying seniority-based tenure should be abolished and that
good teachers should be paid more than bad teachers.
He laid out new details of his plan for teacher evaluations, bas-
ing them equally on student achievement and teacher performance
in the classroom. Every school district should design and imple-
ment its evaluation plan based on that framework, Christie said,
with teachers and principals taking charge of drafting the plan and
measuring one another’s performance.
Christie said he had bypassed the union to meet privately with
groups of teachers to seek input for his plan.
“I want to hear directly from teachers and want them to hear
directly from me. There’s not one teacher who doesn’t understand
we need to reform this system,” Christie said.
He acknowledged the limitations of test scores on evaluations
and said teachers had to be measured somewhat differently based
on their subject areas.
“How do you test a music teacher? How do you test the art
teacher? And don’t you test the special ed teacher a little differ-
ently?” he said.
A teacher rated effective or highly effective for three consecu-
tive years would receive tenure, Christie said. Teachers would lose
tenure after two consecutive years of ineffective ratings. Christie’s
proposal also makes it quicker to get rid of underperforming teach-
ers — cases would be resolved in 30 days.
NJEA spokesman Steve Baker called Christie’s proposal “an
educational disaster” for students.
“It would require a massive expansion of standardized testing in
every grade level and every subject,” Baker said.
Christie bolstered his case using oft-recited numbers, saying
104,000 children in New Jersey are trapped in 200 chronically
failing schools. He says education spending has increased 343 per-
cent since 1985 with aid to the state’s 31 neediest districts nearly
doubling as a percentage of the state budget. Yet, the gap in eighth-
grade math between at-risk and not at-risk students hasn’t changed
significantly in 19 years.
US has 4M gay, lesbian adults
By LISA LEFF
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — How many gay men and lesbians are
there in the United States? Gary Gates has an idea but acknowledges
pinpointing a solid figure remains an elusive task.
Gates is demographer-in-residence at the Williams Institute on
Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy, a think tank based at the
University of California, Los Angeles. For the institute’s 10th anni-
versary this week, he took a scholarly stab at answering the question
that has been debated, avoided, parsed and proven both insoluble and
political since pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey said in the
1940s that 10 percent of the men he surveyed were “predominantly
homosexual.”
Gates’ best estimate, derived from five studies that have asked
subjects about their sexual orientation, is that the nation has about 4
million adults who identify as being gay or lesbian, representing 1.7
percent of the 18-and-over population.
That’s a much lower figure than the 3 to 5 percent that has been
the conventional wisdom in the last two decades, based on other iso-
lated studies and attempts to discredit Kinsey.
One reason, according to Gates, is that until recently, few surveys
tried to differentiate respondents who identified as gay or lesbian from
those who sometimes engaged in homosexual acts or were attracted
to people of the same sex. All were lumped into the gay category.
“One of the major questions, when you think about how many
(lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people are there, is what do
you mean by LGBT?” he said. “This shows there are pretty big differ-
ences between people who use the terms to label themselves versus
sexual behavior or attraction.”
Gates found, for example, that another 1.8 percent of the adult
population, or a little more than 4 million Americans, identifies as
bisexual, according to his research brief published Thursday by the
Williams Institute.
He also estimated that 19 million people, or 8.2 percent of the
population, have engaged in sex with a partner of the same sex. That
includes all groups, such as gays, bisexuals and heterosexuals who
have experimented with same-sex behavior.
Another two studies, conducted by state agencies in California and
Massachusetts, yielded what Gates thinks is the first credible estimate
of the nation’s transgender population. He puts it at about 700,000
adults, or 0.3 percent of the population.
Gates is the first to admit his figures are imprecise.
Vote-counting error rocks race
By SCOTT BAUER and CARRIE ANTLFINGER

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A stunning discovery of votes in
Wisconsin could give the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court
race to the conservative incumbent in an election largely seen
as a referendum on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s explosive
union rights law.
Adding another twist, the county clerk who said she incor-
rectly entered vote totals in the race has faced criticism for her
handling of elections and previously worked for a state GOP
caucus when it was controlled by the candidate who stands to
benefit from Thursday’s revelation.
The corrected totals gave Justice David Prosser a 7,500-vote
lead over little-known liberal assistant state attorney general
JoAnne Kloppenburg, according to unofficial tallies. Before
the announcement, it was assumed the race was headed for a
recount. The difference between the two had fluctuated through-
out the day Thursday as counties began verifying votes, but at
one point was as close as 11.
Opponents of the law that takes away nearly all public
employee collective bargaining rights had hoped a Kloppenburg
victory would set the stage for the high court to strike it down.
Kloppenburg’s campaign manager Melissa Mulliken demand-
ed a full explanation of how the error occurred and said an open
records requests for all relevant documents would be filed.
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said it was “human
error” that resulted in more than 14,000 votes from her predomi-
nantly GOP county not being reported to The Associated Press
on Tuesday. She said the most significant error occurred when
she entered but did not save totals from the city of Brookfield, a
suburb of Milwaukee.
“This is not a case of extra votes or extra ballots being found,”
Nickolaus said. “This is human error, which I apologize for.”
Nickolaus worked for 13 years for a Republican caucus that
was controlled by Prosser when he was Assembly speaker in
1995 and 1996. She was given immunity from prosecution in
a 2002 criminal investigation into illegal activity by members
of the caucus where she worked as a data analyst and computer
specialist.
The corruption probe took down five legislative leaders, all
of whom reached plea deals. Nickolaus resigned from her state
job in 2002 just before launching her county clerk campaign.
Nickolaus also has been criticized by the Waukesha County
Board for her handling of past elections and lack of oversight in
her operations.
An audit of Nickolaus’ handling of the 2010 election found
she needed to take steps to improve security and backup pro-
cedures, including by not sharing passwords. The audit was
requested after the county’s director of administration said
Nickolaus had been uncooperative with attempts to have county
experts review her systems and confirm backups were in place.
Execution drug’s sale to US halted
By GREG BLUESTEIN

ATLANTA — A pharmaceutical company in India that sup-
plied a key lethal injection drug to at least one U.S. state and
reached out to a half dozen others announced Thursday it was no
longer selling the drug to American prison officials, drying up yet
another source of the drug amid a severe shortage.
Kayem Pharmaceutical was fast becoming a major supplier
of sodium thiopental, a sedative in the three-drug lethal injec-
tion cocktail that most of the 34 death penalty states use. The
sole American manufacturer stopped making the drug last year
and since then at least seven states have obtained the scarce drug
overseas; others got it from fellow states.
Mumbai-based Kayem said on its website it made the deci-
sion to “refrain ourselves in selling this drug where the purpose is
purely for lethal injection and its misuse” because it cherished the
“ethos of Hinduism.”
Nebraska announced in January it had acquired 500 grams of
the drug from Kayem, and a company salesman said he also sold
the drug to South Dakota prison officials. A spokeswoman for the
South Dakota attorney general said the state bought 500 grams
for $5,000, but Sara Rabern wouldn’t say what company the state
purchased the drug from.
The salesman, Tony Atwater, said he and a colleague reached
out to about eight states.
“We were seeing a lot of interest in sodium thiopental, but
states are scared,” said Atwater, who is planning on leaving the
firm. “They want to wait until all the lawsuits are hashed out.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration seized Georgia’s entire
supply of sodium thiopental in March amid questions in a con-
demned inmate’s lawsuit about whether Georgia circumvented
the law in obtaining the drug from an English company. And
DEA agents last week also took the Kentucky’s and Tennessee’s
supply, effectively preventing executions in the three states.
The sodium thiopental supply shortage began when Hospira
Inc. of Lake Forest, Ill. stopped making sodium thiopental last
year and grew worse in January when it announced it would not
resume production. Another supplier, British firm Archimedes
Pharma Limited, has said the firm does not directly export the
drug to the U.S. and that it doesn’t keep information on its product
users.
An Associated Press review earlier this year found that
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Kentucky, Nebraska and
Tennessee obtained sodium thiopental overseas.
South Dakota, which announced Wednesday it had purchased
enough sodium thiopental to carry out the executions of its two
death row inmates, did not immediately comment on how it
obtained the drug.
Dirty-bomb defenses put to test
By TOM HAYS
Associated Press
NEW YORK — On a cold afternoon at the mouth of New
York Harbor, a tiny yellow fishing boat bobs in the water as
a flotilla of law enforcement vessels fitted with sophisticated
radiation detection equipment closes in.
The boat has drawn suspicion by emitting gamma rays — a
sign it may be carrying a dirty bomb, packed with radioac-
tive material. High-speed vessels from the New York Police
Department and state Naval Militia halt the boat, tie it up and
accomplish their mission of neutralizing an apparent terror
threat.
The radiation was real, but the threat wasn’t: The scene
Thursday was a drill designed to test an ambitious NYPD-led
effort called Securing the Cities. The program aims to detect
and intercept radiological devices before they can wreak havoc
on Wall Street and other high-profile targets in Manhattan, the
heart of the nation’s largest city.
The effort also has tested the limits of domestic counterter-
rorism logistics, costs and tactics. It relies on the manpower and
expertise of more than 100 law enforcement and public safety
agencies across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, tens
of millions of dollars in federal funding and a belief that plots
already set in motion can be thwarted wherever necessary.
“That includes the waterways,” NYPD Commissioner
Raymond Kelly said.
Security experts say such safety initiatives can’t just look
good on paper. To work, first responders need to be drilled
constantly using mock devices and various scenarios cooked
up by their superiors.
“That’s what these exercises are all about — so you can be
better prepared to respond when there’s an actual event,” said
William Bratton, a Kroll security firm executive who’s served
as NYPD commissioner and Los Angeles police chief. “You
need to identify what works and what doesn’t work.”
The current commissioner has a “much-needed fixation on
terrorism and keeping New York safe,” Bratton added.
Still, critics question whether the prevention drills are a
sound use of time and resources. The Securing the Cities
approach is overly reliant on the rare instances when investi-
gators receive a tip of trouble and ignores the fact that terror-
ists don’t have to travel outside the city to obtain dangerous
materials used legitimately in the medical and construction
fields, said retired Air Force Col. Randall Larsen, head of the
non-profit Institute for Homeland Security.
“It’s fine to do all the lights-and-sirens exercises,” Larson
said. “But that doesn’t address what to do once a dirty bomb
goes off. No one wants to do that exercise.”
Police officials respond that while remaking the NYPD
since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the nation’s largest police
department has diligently trained officers on how to both
prevent and respond to attacks. More than 1,000 officers are
assigned to counterterrorism on a daily basis — a force that
eclipses that of most entire departments elsewhere.
In the mid-2000s, the Department of Homeland Security
came up with the concept of Securing the Cities to combat
dirty bombs and decided that the NYPD, which currently has
about 35,000 officers, was best suited to test if for the rest of
the country, officials said.
The city also was chosen based on accepted wisdom that
it remains a ripe terror target. In the past two years alone,
New Yorkers have seen an aborted al-Qaida-sanctioned plot
to attack subways with homemade explosives and a failed
attempt to set off a crude fertilizer car bomb in Times Square.
By contrast, a dirty bomb — intended to spread panic by
exploding and creating a radioactive cloud in urban settings —
has never been discovered or detonated in a U.S. terror plot.
But law enforcement considers dirty bombs a serious threat
because they’re easy to build and because of intelligence that
foreign terrorists want to use them against American cities.
