White House: US can defend Superintendent against NKorea attack

Delphos City Schools

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio a nuclear device to mount on such a missile. However, the North possesses hundreds of shorterrange missiles that could hit U.S. bases in Japan and South Korea, said Victor Cha, Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. It is difficult to know how capable U.S. missile defense is, should it be required. Carney alluded to the development of U.S. system designed to defend against long-range missiles. He said the U.S. is on a good trajectory after success in its return to testing of the Ground-Based Interceptor. David Wright at the Union of Concerned Scientists said that system, deployed in the U.S., was initiated by the George W. Bush administration because of concern about the North Korean threat. Some of its previous tests of the system failed, and Wright said it is still in development. In East Asia, the U.S. has deployed the land-based Patriot system and the sea-based Aegis systems, which are designed to intercept shorter-range missiles. The top U.S. envoy on North Korea, Glyn Davies, cautioned Pyongyang not to miscalculate, saying the U.S. will take necessary steps to defend itself and its allies, including South Korea, where it bases nearly 30,000 U.S. forces. We take all North Korean threats seriously enough to ensure that we have the correct defense posture to deal with any contingencies that might arise, Davies told reporters after testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Thursdays statement out of Pyongyang appeared to be the most specific open threat of a nuclear strike by any country against another, but the Senate panels chairman, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said the threat was absurd and one that if carried out would be suicide for North Korea. Davies reiterated that the U.S. will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state although after conducting three nuclear tests it is already assumed to be capable of making at least a crude atomic bomb. Davies, however, faced Republican skepticism about the effectiveness of Obama administration policy toward North Korea. In December, the North conducted its first successful launch of a three-stage, long-range rocket. Its Feb. 12 nuclear test could help it miniaturize a warhead. See ATTACK, page 10

WASHINGTON The U.S. is fully capable of defending itself against a North Korean ballistic missile attack, the White House said Thursday, after Pyongyang threatened a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the United States. The threat from the North Koreans came ahead of a unanimous vote in the U.N. Security Council approving its toughest sanctions yet on the North in response to an atomic test last month. North Korea has escalated its bellicose statements this week as the tightening of U.N. sanctions loomed. It has also threatened to scrap the ceasefire that ended the 1950-53 Korean War. I can tell you that the United States is fully capable of defending against any North Korean ballistic missile attack, said White House spokesman Jay Carney. North Korea has now conducted three nuclear tests. In the past year, it has made strides toward its goal of having a nuclear weapon that could threaten the U.S. although experts doubt it yet has the capability to hit the U.S. with a ballistic missile or miniaturize

PC sales tax to expire

Staff Reports OTTAWA - The Putnam County Commissioners approved to end a one-quarter percent sales tax that was put on in 2009 for five years. By not renewing the tax, county taxpayers will save one and one-half million dollars in interest. On Thursday, the commissioners approved the resolution after meeting with Putnam County Auditor Robert Benroth, who agreed that the sales tax does not have to be renewed. The commissioners decided not to renew the tax because of the cut-backs they have made over the last five years and early pay-off on some debt. Over the past few years, county officials have been able to pay off extra amounts of debt for the jail and landfill. In early January, Commissioner Vince Schroeder was quite optimistic about the countys fiscal shape and hinted at lowering the taxes in the future. A leaner budget and increased sales tax led to successfully paying off the countys long-term debt, Schroeder explained. By not renewing the sales tax, the county will save in the long run. The county will no longer have to budget for this long term debt, stated Benroth. We had quite a bit of long-term debt, and its just remarkable what our county was able to accomplish. In a time when other counties are borrowing money, our county is paying off debt, said Benroth. Its not just us, its the department heads, elected officials and others in the county that made this possible, said Commissioner John Love. The sales tax was put on in 2009 because of financial difficulties in the county. The jail debt was not due to be paid off until 2021 and the landfill debt in 2031, both of these will be paid off early resulting in the savings in interest for the county. Commissioner Travis Jerwers commented, Paying off the jail debt has been a co-operative effort between the commissioners and auditor offices. By removing this tax, it is one of many steps to pay off debt and eliminate unneeded taxes.

Furlough plans vary widely at govt agencies

By SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON Federal workers could face seven days of furloughs at the Housing and Urban Development Department, but Homeland Security personnel might see twice that number. At the Environmental Protection Agency, workers would get four-day holiday weekends with a catch one day would be a furlough day. Other agencies are avoiding furloughs altogether. Government agencies vary widely in how they are dealing with $85 billion in acrossthe-board budget cuts that went into effect last week, according to labor unions that represent federal workers. It just depends on their flexibility, said Patrick Lester, director of fiscal policy for the Center for Effective Government. If they are largely personnel-driven, theres no way to avoid personnel-related cuts. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 600,000 federal workers, is trying to keep track of all the different plans, as their members face the prospect of lost wages and growing frustration about getting their work done. More than half of the nations 2.1 million federal workers could be furloughed over the next six months. A lot of people think federal employees are fat-cat bureaucrats in Washington, but they dont realize more

age and higher prices. But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack backed away from that at a House hearing this week, telling lawmakers that the furloughs would not be consecutive after all. Furloughs are going to cause disruption, USDA spokeswoman Courtney Rowe said Wednesday. Were looking to do it in ways that cause the minimum impact. Some agencies, including the Justice Department, already have sent out formal furlough notices to workers indicating furloughs of up to 14 days could begin as soon as April. All furloughs are subject to 30-day notices and subject to bargaining with unions representing government workers. While the unions cant stop the furloughs, they can try to ease the pain for employees by negotiating different times, allowing employees to swap days, or other changes. Unions are also trying to persuade agencies to make other cuts that dont affect worker pay, such as cutting government contracts with private companies. The Social Security Administration, for example, says it hopes to avoid furloughs altogether, instead saving money by terminating more than 1,500 temporary and other workers and losing more than 5,000 other positions through attrition. In some cases, the agencies can figure out ways to slow down federal contracts instead of taking it out of federal personnel, Lester said. The federal government is the countrys single largest employer, with its employees making up about 1.2 percent of the nations work force. Some of the longest furloughs are expected at the Defense Department, where about 800,000 civilian employees face up to 22 unpaid days off over the next several months. The agency has not yet specified when those will happen, but some agencies may try to put off furloughs for several months in hopes that Congress will come up with a budget fix. More flexibility could be coming soon. A House measure passed Wednesday that prevents a shutdown of federal agencies on March 27 also would grant the Pentagon greater latitude in implementing its share of short-term spending cuts. Senate Democrats could try to expand that flexibility to other agencies, potentially reducing the number of workers who are furloughed.

The Foreign Relations Committees top Republican, Sen.

North Korea is equally nutty and with a worse human rights record, and way past any red line we would accept in Iran, he said. Corker concluded that Davies hope that the dualtrack U.S. policy of pressure and engagement would eventually work in getting Pyongyang to change its ways was a highly aspirational statement that does not seem to be based on reality. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also drew a comparison with Iran and said he did not believe North Koreas leader, Kim Jong Un, could be persuaded to disarm. The best the U.S. could hope for was to delay the development of the Norths weapons and its ability to strike the West, he said.

world hostage with it, Rubio told the hearing. He also foresaw a danger of nuclear proliferation in Asia to date alleviated through the nuclear umbrella security guarantee the U.S. provides to both South Korea and Japan, which do not have atomic weapons. The new U.N. sanctions, which were drafted by the U.S. and the Norths chief ally and benefactor, China, should make it more difficult for Pyongyang to finance and obtain material for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and for the reclusive nations ruling elite to acquire luxury goods. Davies said the growing international condemnation of North Koreas actions and the new U.N. sanctions showed the world is beginning to wake up to the problem the North poses. But he said for diplomacy to work, China has to step up and play its full role in bringing home to Pyongyang the choices it faces. U.S. lawmakers remain skeptical of Beijings commitment to implementing the sanctions, which will be critical for their effectiveness since most of the companies and banks that North Korea is believed to work with are based in China.

State payroll drops slightly in 2012

COLUMBUS (AP) Records show Ohios state government payroll fell to less than $3 billion in 2012 a 3 percent drop from the previous year. A computer analysis by The Columbus Dispatch shows that most of the toppaid non-university government employees were again professionals in the Ohio Department of Mental Health. A psychiatrist at a state psychiatric hospital in Northfield, near Cleveland, made the most at more than $335,000 last year. He was the only state employee to top $300,000 annually. Department of Mental Health spokeswoman Trudy Sharp said the agencys medical expenses are high because it must maintain professional care 24 hours a day, seven days a week at all six psychiatric hospitals. Records show Gov. John Kasich made $148,347 in salary last year.

STATE/LOCAL
The Marion Township Trustees held their regular scheduled meeting on Feb. 25 with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Howard Violet and Jerry Gilden. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 16 checks totaling $8,835.02. Road Foreman Elwer asked if the morning of March 14 was OK for the Engineers Office to do the Road Program. The date is okay and Elwer will make arrangements. He presented an application from the Fort Jennings Telephone Co. to install cable in the Mericle Road and Redd Road area, which the trustees approved.

COLUMBUS (AP) Tensions grew Thursday over access to the private financial books of JobsOhio, a nonprofit entity created by Gov. John Kasich to lure jobs to Ohio. State Auditor Dave Yost, a fellow Republican, says he has the right to audit both the public and private funds flowing through the year-old public-private partnership, but the administration isnt so sure. Yost has given JobsOhio Chief Financial Officer Kevin Giangola until noon on March 19 to produce the records after JobsOhio declined to volunteer the documents, in a development first reported by The Columbus Dispatch. The subpoena, issued Wednesday, seeks financial statements, spending and revenue ledgers, salary and benefits payments and other documents or an explanation for withholding the materials. JobsOhio spokeswoman Laura Jones said it was not immediately clear what Giangolas plans were with regard to the subpoena. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the Ohio Development Services Agency, the states public development arm, has turned over all JobsOhio documents related to public dollars. The auditor has clear authority to audit public funds, and if theres any confusion about that authority, then it needs to be clarified in law, Nichols said in an email. DSA is requesting that the auditor audit the public funds it has provided to JobsOhio and the administration looks forward to working with him on that effort. Jones issued a nearly identical statement. Yost said theres no confusion over his authority to audit JobsOhio, including both its public and private funds. The entity recently went to market with a $1.5 billion bond offering backed by proceeds from its rights to the states liquor business for the next 25 years. The governor and I have the same goal: to make sure JobsOhios money is working for the people of Ohio creating jobs and growing this economy for our families, Yost said in a statement. Its important to look at the total picture. The private bond proceeds trace directly back to the public money. Development Services wants Yost to complete the public-funds audit as soon as possible, as it seeks to close out its grant relationships with JobsOhio and JobsOhio Beverage System, or JOBS, which is the renamed Ohio Business Development Coalition and issuer of the bonds.

motion to contract with the firm for the two issues which was seconded by Trustee Gilden and passed unanimously. He also gave the trustees an e-mail he received from the Auditors office regarding a 2015 reappraisal meeting and information from Dominion East Ohio regarding purchasing natural gas and recommend going with IGS Energy which the Trustees agreed too. Trustee Gilden stated he has not received the information he requested from the City of Delphos regarding Fire and EMS runs for 2012 and asked the Fiscal Officer to send a letter requesting the information. There being no further business, a motion to adjourn by Trustee Violet was seconded by Trustee Gilden and passed unanimously.

God was once like us

During my childhood, my father would often preface his trips to the garage with the announcement that he was going downstairs to putter, often saying that he was just going to putter around in the garage. What he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or working on the cars. I distinctly remember looking up the word putter after hearing my father use the term, trust me, he puttered a lot, and chuckling when I read the definition: to occupy oneself with minor or unimportant tasks. But even then I knew that what my father was doing wasnt minor or unimportant. Seeing him fix broken stuff around the house was an important lesson on the value of resourcefulness, frugality, and helping others. Some of my most productive days now are those lazy Saturdays when I putter around the house, doing some housework perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then maybe going for a walk. We never know what we might find or how we might get inspired when we putter. You dont always need a prioritized list in order to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory. Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter.

by Christopher Simon

A central tenet of Christianity is that God became man in the embodied form of Jesus, in order that we might know how to live a godly life. Christians dont expect to become gods, but we do hope to become more godlike by following the example of Jesus. There were a host of heresies in the early Church concerning Christs divinity. The Arian heresy claimed that Christ was divine but created, and thus not con substantial (of the same substance) with God the father. Others believed that Christ was divine but not human, arguing that his suffering on the cross, and any other suffering which he underwent, were mere illusions. These issues were largely settled at the first council of Nicaea in 325 AD, which asserted in the Nicene Creed that Christ was God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. But, in what sense was Christ fully human? Christs humanity is, ironically, more of a mystery than his divinity. How could God become man? The Gospels are essentially an attempt to answer that question, or at least for God, in the form of a man, to show us how to live a fully human life.

Puttering and Other Ways to Savor Life

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Psalm 103:1

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:5-7

Bearcats get revenge a year late

LIMA Spencervilles boys basketball team remembered a year ago. They lost a district game versus Liberty-Benton due to a miracle shot by the Eagles. That was well on their collective minds when the teams met up against Thursday night in Division III District semifinal action at Lima Senior High School. The Bearcats needed to go overtime but there would be no miracle shot as the Bearcats (16-7) knocked off the Eagles (22-2) 53-51. Spencerville advances to a Saturday night contest (7 p.m. tip) against Lima Central Catholic, a 66-33 destroyer of Carey. One difference between this year and last was we didnt fall behind early; we got off to a good start. We didnt have to expend so much energy coming back this time, Spencerville coach Kevin Sensibaugh explained. We remembered last year and how we lost; we returned a lot of players that were on that team and this is sweet. Tied at 45 to start the 4-minute overtime, the Bearcats got a 3-point play by freshman Zach Goecke (18 markers, 5 boards) at the 2:54 mark for a 3-point edge. The Eagles replied with consecutive baskets by Ryan Geise and John Darnall (11 counters) in the next minute to take a 49-48 lead. Dominick Corso (8 markers, 6 boards), saddled with foul trouble, put back an offensive board at 1:28 to give the Bearcats the lead for good. Geise forced a 3-ball at 1:13 and missed, with the Bearcats getting the rebound and Ben Bowers (12 points) was fouled at 1:04. He hit both ends of the bonus for a 3-point margin. Liberty-Benton got within a point when Nathan Garver (20 points, 5 rebounds) put back a miss at 4.5 ticks to go and called timeout at 3.7 ticks to go. The Bearcats had trouble getting the

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2013 There is a strong chance that you could be quite fortunate in the year ahead when it comes to establishing relationships with influential individuals who could prove to be very helpful commercially. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its not a good day to make lastminute changes on something that is steadily moving along on a proscribed course. Instead of making any improvement, you could derail the entire endeavor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although youre pretty good at convincing people of the rightness of your case, if you go overboard, you could cause them to backtrack. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -This could be one of those days when you might be able to get a better deal from a stranger than you could from a friend. It proves that it sometimes pays to check outside sources. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Being too indecisive could severely lessen your chances of achieving much of anything. Take plenty of time to figure out what you want to accomplish. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre not too discerning about what you want to get done, you could go off in multiple directions, not knowing where youre heading or why. Have a goal in mind for best results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Disappointment is inevitable if you set too high a price on some merchandise and/or service that youre trying to sell. It isnt likely that youll be able to find too many takers, if any. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You will be held accountable for any promises or commitments youve made but havent as yet come through on. Be ready to pay up, whether youre ready or not. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you dont believe in yourself or your abilities, you cant expect others to. Your colleagues will see you only as you see yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -An arrangement with some friends that youre presently contemplating might not be as terrific as it appears on the surface. Look closely before you leap. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because of a strong urge to expedite an important matter, you could easily do something that would be counterproductive. Try to forgo any decision-making for the nonce. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It might take far more selfdiscipline than youre able to muster to complete a tedious assignment. Unfortunately, any disinterest on your part destroys productivity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Lady Luck is your buddy at present, but only up to a point. If you begin to take foolish risks, shes likely to ignore you and instead favor someone who isnt trying to beat the odds.

Bin Laden spokesman due in NY court on plot charge

BY LARA JAKES and TOM HAYS The Associated Press NEW YORK A senior al-Qaida leader and member of Osama bin Ladens inner circle was due in court to face a charge he plotted against Americans in his role as the terror networks top propagandist who lauded the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and warned there would be more. Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who was born in Kuwait and was bin Ladens son-in-law, was captured in Jordan over the last week, authorities said. Abu Ghaith was to appear this morning in federal court in Manhattan to enter a plea to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans. There was no immediate response to phone and email messages left with his attorney. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the capture of the international fugitive on Thursday, saying no amount of distance or time will weaken our resolve to bring Americas enemies to justice. The case marks a legal victory for President Barack Obamas administration, which has long sought to charge senior al-Qaida suspects in American federal courts instead of military tribunals at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. But it runs counter to demands by Republicans in Congress who do not want high-threat terror suspects brought into the United States. The Department of Justice said Abu Ghaith was the spokesman for al-Qaida, working alongside bin Laden and current leader Ayman al-Zawahri, since at least May 2001. Abu Ghaith is a former mosque preacher and teacher. The day after the Sept. 11 attacks, prosecutors say, he appeared with bin Laden and al-Zawahri and called on the nation of Islam to battle against Jews, Christians and Americans. A great army is gathering against you, Abu Ghaith said on Sept. 12, 2001, according to prosecutors. Shortly afterward, Abu Ghaith warned in a speech that the storms shall not stop especially the airplanes storm and advised Muslims, children and al-Qaida allies to stay out of planes and high-rise buildings. In one video, he was sitting with bin Laden in front of a rock face in Afghanistan. Kuwait stripped him of his citizenship after Sept. 11. In 2002, under pressure as the U.S. military and CIA searched for bin Laden, Abu Ghaith

Tsunami-hit towns still Hot chicks: At 60, Peeps more popular than ever BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM Everyone seems to have a Peeps who hand-squeezed them out of pastry barren as rebuilding lags The Associated Press story, says Ross Born, third-generation bags. It was really very difficult, and
BY ELAINE KURTENBACH The Associated Press RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan Like tens of thousands of people who lost everything in the tsunami that pulverized Japans northeastern coast two years ago, 83-year-old Hide Sato is living in one-room temporary housing, and longing for a home of her own. Chances are she will be waiting at least a few more years. The dozens of temporary housing camps built for tsunami survivors were meant to be used for just two years. Now, officials are saying it could be six to 10 years before all are resettled. Japans progress in rebuilding from the mountain of water that thundered over coastal sea walls, sweeping away entire communities and killing nearly 19,000 people, is measured mainly in barren foundations and empty spaces. Clearing of forests on higher ground to make space for relocation of survivors has barely begun. In Satos city, Rikuzentakata, nothing permanent has been rebuilt, though in late February it finally broke ground on its first post-disaster public housing project: about half of the homes to be rebuilt will be public housing many families can scarcely afford to rebuild after losing everything. Sato, a spirited octogenarian who constantly laughs and jokes while explaining how she makes the best of things, likens the situation to the devastation after Japans defeat in World War II. Rikuzentakatas 20,000-some residents ought to just to take matters into their own hands, she said. This is our town and so we need to rebuild it using our own efforts. I feel we shouldnt be relying on the government to do it, said Sato, who gets by on a stipend of about $400 a month and sleeps on sturdy cardboard boxes to insulate herself from the cold floor of 30-square-meter (323 square foot) living space. In dozens of towns, from the tiny fishing enclave of Ryoishi to the big industrial port of Ishinomaki and beyond to the coast of Fukushima, where some areas remain off-limits due to radiation from the crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, the tsunami zones remain bleak wastelands. Scattered along the coast are huge piles of rubble and stacks of smashed scooters and cars. Reconstruction has lagged behind recoveries from earlier disasters, such as the 1995 earthquake that killed more than 6,400 people in western Japans Kobe-Osaka region, because it is complicated by the imperative to move residents out of areas prone to tsunami that can swell several stories high. Delays in approvals for cutting forests atop the mountains that will be used for relocation, refusals to allow businesses to rebuild on former farmland devastated by the tsunami, uncertainties over property ownership are among the obstacles in the path of towns that want to rebuild. The Reconstruction Agency in Tokyo, meant to coordinate between Tokyo, the disaster zone and between various government ministries, is criticized as another layer of red tape. The government plans to spend 25 trillion yen ($268 billion) for the entire rebuilding effort. But less than half of the 8 trillion yen ($85.7 billion) allocated so far has been used. BETHLEHEM, Pa.

Forest Service may let more fires burn

BY JASON DEAREN The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO After coming in $400 million over budget following last years busy fire season, the Forest Service is altering its approach and may let more fires burn instead of attacking every one. The move, quietly made in a letter late last month by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, brings the agency more in line with the National Parks Service and back to what it had done until last year. It also answers critics who said the agency wasted money and endangered firefighters by battling fires in remote areas that posed little or no danger to property or critical habitat. Tidwell played down the change, saying its simply an evolution of the science and the expertise that has led to more emphasis on pre-fire planning and managed burns, which involve purposely setting fires to eliminate dead trees and other fuels that could help a wildfire quickly spread. We have to be able to structure (fire management) this way to help all of us, Tidwell told The Associated Press. So that were thinking about the right things when we make these decisions. The more aggressive approach instituted last year was prompted by fears that fires left unchecked would quickly devour large swaths of the drought-stricken West, Tidwell said. New Mexico and Colorado reported record fire seasons in 2012, and with dry conditions remaining in much of the region 2013 could be another bad year in the West. In all, the agency oversees about 193 million acres in 43 states. But the kill all fires approach angered watchdog groups and environmentalists, who said it was expensive and ignored fires natural ability to rid the landscape of dangerous fuels and bolster forest ecology. This new policy gives a lot more flexibility. It takes the blanket policy where every fire was treated the same and gives fire managers more options, said Timothy Ingalsbee, executive director of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics and Ecology. Chief Tidwells move should restore the confidence of the fire management community that all the training and technology thats been invested to give fire crews the ability to work with fire to restore ecosystems will not be wasted by a return to yesteryears all-out war on wildfires. While all federal agencies

these women were strong, said David Shaffer, Sam Borns nephew and coCEO along with Ross Born. Rosss father, Bob Born a physicist and engineer by training automated the process in the mid-1950s, and a version of the machine he invented is still in use today, extruding millions of those familiar shapes on peak-Peep production days. The company, whose other brands are Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, and Goldenbergs Peanut Chews, has never suffered an unprofitable year. But its growth has always been relatively slow, steady and controlled, and a few years ago, Born and Shaffer decided they wanted to accelerate it. The longtime partners brought in a new management team, spent heavily on marketing and broke back into the chocolate business, introducing chocolatedipped Peeps as well as Peepsters, small chocolate candies filled with marshmallow-flavored cream. (New for this year is a yellow chick nestled in a hollow chocolate egg.) They also focused on holiday seasons other than Easter, particularly Christmas.

Funeral for Chavez a bid to continue his legacy

BY JACK CHANG and E. EDUARDO CASTILLO The Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela The stage is set for President Hugo Chavezs last appearance on the world stage, with leaders from five continents in Venezuelas anxious capital for a funeral Friday to remember a man who captivated the attention of millions and polarized his nation during 14 tumultuous years in power. The ceremony will mark a dramatic exit for a president who quarreled publicly with presidents and kings and ordered troops via live television to defend his countrys borders. It promises to also give his successors a prime opportunity to rally public support for continuing his political legacy. Yet with basic details about the event unknown just hours before its scheduled start, the funeral also reflected a leader who tightly controlled all aspects of his government. Government officials said it would begin at 11 a.m. local time, but didnt specify where it would take place or what would actually happen. For nearly two years, and even after his death Tuesday, Chavezs government has been similarly tight-fisted with information about Chavezs cancer, not indicating exactly where or what it was. More than 30 heads of government, including Cuban President Raul Castro and Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, were scheduled to attend. U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, a New York Democrat, and former Rep. William Delahunt, a Democrat from Massachusetts, represented the United States, which Chavez often portrayed as a great global evil even as he sent the country billions of dollars in oil each year. Two hours before midnight Thursday, National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello added yet more complications to the days schedule, appearing on national television to announce that Vice President Nicolas Maduro will also be sworn in on Friday. That drew criticism from former Venezuelan Supreme Court Judge Blanca Rosa Marmo, who said the government would be violating Venezuelas Constitution, which specifies that the speaker of the National Assembly, currently Cabello, should assume the interim presidency if a president cant be sworn in. The government has designated Maduro, Chavezs handpicked successor, as the official socialist party candidate in a special presidential election that the constitution requires be held within 30 days. For many Chavez supporters, the task ahead will be continuing the presidents political movement beyond his death. We must think about the future and how we are going to guarantee the continuity of the revolution, said Rolando Tarazon, a street vendor who was waiting with his wife to see Chavezs body lying in state at the armys military academy in Caracas.

Vatican: conclave likely to start early next week

BY NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press VATICAN CITY The Vatican said today the conclave to elect a new pope will likely start in the first few days of next week, signaling that cardinals are coming to an end of discussions about the state of the church and who best among them might lead it. Cardinals will vote today afternoon on the opening date of the conclave, a vote made possible by the arrival Thursday of the last of the 115 cardinal electors, Vietnamese Cardinal Jean-Baptiste Pham Minh Man. The Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said it was likely the cardinals would choose Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday as the start date for the conclave. In the past 100 years, no conclave has lasted longer than five days. That said, there is no frontrunner in this election, and the past week of deliberations has exposed sharp divisions among cardinals about some of the pressing problems facing the church, including of governance within the Holy See itself. Early in the week, the Americans had been pressing for more time to get to the bottom of the level of dysfunction and corruption exposed by the leaks of papal documents last year. But by Thursday afternoon, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles tweeted that the discussions were reaching a conclusion and that a mood of excitement was taking hold.

Backlash grows for knives, clubs on planes

WASHINGTON (AP) Flight attendants, pilots, federal air marshals and even insurance companies are part of a growing backlash to the Transportation Security Administrations new policy allowing passengers to carry small knives and sports equipment like souvenir baseball bats and golf clubs onto planes. The Flight Attendants Union Coalition, which representing nearly 90,000 flight attendants, said it is coordinating a nationwide legislative and public education campaign to reverse the policy announced by TSA Administrator John Pistole this week. A petition posted by the flight attendants on the White Houses We the People website had more than 9,300 signatures early today urging the administration to tell the TSA to keep knives off planes. Our nations aviation system is the safest in the world thanks to multilayered security measures that include prohibition on many items that could pose a threat to the integrity of the aircraft cabin, the coalition, which is made up of five unions, said in a statement. The continued ban on dangerous objects is an integral layer in aviation security and must remain in place. Jon Adler, national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, whose 26,000 members include federal air marshals, complained that he and other stakeholders werent consulted by TSA before the countersafety policy was announced. He said the association will ask Congress to block the policy change. The Coalition of Airline Pilot Associations, which represents 22,000 pilots, said it opposes allowing knives of any kind in airliner cabins. We believe the (terrorism) threat is still real and the removal of any layer of security will put crewmembers and the flying public unnecessarily in harms way, Mike Karn, the coalitions president, said. The new policy, which

operate from the same federal wildfire management policy, each has its own goals and ways of interpreting it. The National Parks Service, for example, allows more fires to burn on its lands. But letting fires burn also has its dangers, even in remote areas. Last year, the Parks Service allowed a fire to burn that started as a halfacre blaze in remote Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. What became the Reading Fire eventually required firefighters and ended up charring 42 square miles of forestlands as it spread outside the parks boundaries to lands managed by the Forest Service and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fire damaged the regions timber industry and cost an estimated $15 million to suppress.

The policy is aimed at allowing passengers to carry pen knives, corkscrews with small blades and other small knives. Passengers also will be allowed to include in their carry-on luggage noveltysized baseball bats less than 24 inches long, toy plastic bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs. Items like box cutters and razor blades are still prohibited.
