Tibbitts enjoys customers treasures

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com enters all of the information for items and serial numbers for guns into the computer. Tibbitts favorite part of working at Delphos Trading Post is the items they buy and sell or sometimes trade. The best part is seeing all of the neat things people bring in. We get a lot of unique stuff in here and sometimes its really hard not buying it yourself, she said. The coolest day of the week is when people bring guns in but we also get jewelry, DVDs, books and all kinds of things. The most interesting thing Ive seen brought in was an old fortune-teller machine from the 1920s. It really worked, too. Another cool thing was a Pabst Blue Ribbon stained glass sign from the 70s. There are lots and lots of cool things that come through here. Another thing that makes Tibbitts look forward to coming to work every day is the people behind the counter and in front of it. We get a lot of interesting people in here; a lot of great people. Its

DELPHOS One mans trash is another mans treasure, is the maxim on which trading posts are built. For Tracy Tibbitts of Delphos Trading Post, this philosophy is what makes her job so enjoyable. I applied here because it sounded like a lot of fun. It seemed like a really interesting place to work, kind of like Pawn Stars of Delphos, she joked. The things I had to learn the most about were the guns and knives and ammo. I knew nothing about any of that when I started. Ive bought a gun since then, a .380 Kel Tec. I had to learn about gold and silver and the retail end of the business.

on their job hunts. And as the population ages, more people are retiring. Most analysts think the economy strengthened from January through March, helped by the pickup in hiring, a sustained recovery in housing and steady consumer spending. Consumers stepped up purchases in February and January, even after Social Security taxes increased this year. Still the higher taxes have reduced paychecks. And many economists say steep government spending cuts that began taking effect March 1 will slow growth in the spring and summer. Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo Securities, thinks the economy expanded at a 3.2 percent annual rate in the first quarter. But he forecasts that growth will slow to a 2 percent annual pace in the current second quarter, and then rebound after the impact of the government spending cuts fades. Economists expect the spending reductions will shave half a percentage point off economic growth this year. Many federal workers will experience pay cuts. And government contractors will likely cut jobs. That could also drag down overall monthly hiring.

TOLEDO (AP) The University of Toledo Medical Center has canceled a medical transfer agreement with an area abortion provider after a state lawmaker and anti-abortion group claimed it was illegal. University president Lloyd Jacobs notified the Capital Care Network in west Toledo that it will not renew the oneyear transfer agreement when it expires on July 31. State law requires ambulatory care centers, such as abortion clinics, to have an agreement to transfer patients to a hospital if there are complications. Ohio Right to Life and Republican state Rep. Lynn Wachtmann objected to the contract as a violation of the ban on state-funded entities supporting abortion. The abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio tells The (Toledo) Blade that the university was bullied into cancelling the transfer agreement.

BRIEFS

Kalida council completes park bd. bylaws

By Leslie Noia DHI Correspondent KALIDA Kalida Village Council discussed finalizing the members on the park board at Mondays meeting. Over the last few months, the village council has been working on completing the bylaws and determining who should sit on the new park board. During the meeting, village council members spoke about the clubs who have expressed concerns about not finding enough members to sit on the park board. Originally, the bylaws stated two members from each organization was to sit on the park board. After some feedback from the Lions Club and Athletic Boosters, members found it would be hard to find two people from each group interested in doing it. We compromised having seven members down to five members, said council member Jason Birkemeier. After the negative feedback about the plan, the bylaws were changed to say one member and up to two from each group is to sit on the board. Council members discussed the importance of having members of the different groups on the board. They already have large investments in the park, Birkemier said about the need for members of both the Lions and the Boosters to sit on the park board. Some people are afraid of the past history to move forward but I disagree with that. I think we need them on the board to know what is going on down there (at the park), agreed Dick Schulte, council president. Birkemier and council member Glen Recker will be attending the Lions Club and Boosters meetings to present the current bylaws they constructed. In new business, council approved paperwork for the new information submitted for the second expansion at KMI. Also, the Fire Department is looking into purchasing new equipment and council approved a threeyear commitment for the CIC of $3,000 per year. Old business included an update for the Issue 2 funding project. Engineer Greg Bockrath stated they have not heard anything back about the loan money and no news is good news, he said. Bockrath said the plans for the bid of the Ralph and Sixth Street Project is ready to be submitted. He also shared the update on the East Town Drive. project, saying that AEP has approved to move power poles, which started Monday. The next Kalida Village Council meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. on April 15.

with a trip back in time provided by the Toledo Jazz Orchestra. The orchestra and guest vocalist will pay tribute to the Big Band era with music popularized by Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Wood Herman, and Stan Kenton. Feel free to dance the night away to great tunes like Woodchoppers Ball, Mood Indigo, and In the Mood, and many others. July 4 will extend into July 5 when the Lima Symphony Pops Orchestra makes a long-delayed appearance in Fountain Park. Last year, the Pops were supposed to perform for the holiday in Van Wert but the wind storm and the resulting damage forced the show to be canceled. This year the Van Wert Holiday at Home celebration will be in full stride when the orchestra takes the stage for a holiday performance. Van Wert County Foundation Coordinator of Performing Arts Paul Hoverman said that he found the best sounds of the Doobie Brothers in New York. Minute by Minute is one of the finest tribute bands performing the music of the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald, he stated. The band will be playing Doobies classics like China Grove, Minute By Minute, and Listen to the Music to Fountain Park for a memorable concert on Friday July 19.

Ted Vigil

One week later, on July 26, Ted Vigil will be back in Van Wert with his tribute to John Denver. Vigil will be returning with long-time John Denver band guitarist Steve Weisberg. You will literally think you are seeing and hearing John Denver, himself, declared Hoverman. Since performing in Van Wert a few years back, Vigil has gone on to new heights with his Rocky Mountain Tribute to John Denver.

Then on Aug. 9, its the Fountain Park finale when The Ides of March featuring Jim Peterik come to town. With its signature horn riff and opening line, Im a friendly stranger in the black sedan, The Ides of Marchs hit Vehicle burst onto the charts and became the fastest breaking single in Warner Bros. history. Peterik went on to more success with the group Survivor and the signature tune, Eye of the

Minute by Minute

Tiger, as well as writing the hit Hold On Loosely for 38 Special. The Ides of March show will pack plenty of hits into the Aug. 9 show. The Van Wert Area Concert Band, under the direction of Richard Sherrick, will also be a big part of the Summer Music Series once again with performances on May 24, July 12 and Aug. 16. This local band will be gearing up for three exciting and entertaining concerts.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio Auditor Dave Yost has referred findings from a routine Columbus City Schools audit to authorities as his special review of district attendance scrubbing continues. Yosts audit, released Thursday, found the district took in nearly $28,000 that was neither recorded nor deposited in the districts account by Tina Dorsey, a former area treasurer. He referred findings against Dorsey to the county prosecutor. Yost also referred questioned federal costs of more than $46,000 to the state. The districts total budget is $1.3 billion. Inaccurate attendance reporting by the district wasnt part of this investigation. Still, Yosts report recommended Columbus formalize its procedures for tracking and documenting enrollment, withdrawals and daily attendance.

4 The Herald

The most recent Jewish Community Study of New York held few surprises for those who have followed the sobering Jewish trends of recent decades. Yes, the 1.5 million or so Jews living in New York City and surrounding counties included a rising tide of people living in interfaith relationships, and some had even begun calling themselves partially Jewish. Participation in liberal Jewish congregations declined, again. Jews who said it was very important to affiliate with Jewish institutions fell to 44 percent. But one number was genuinely startling -- that 74 percent of the regions Jewish children were found in the one-third of the Jewish households that identified as Orthodox. No wonder leaders of the Reform movement and other liberal Jewish institutions have been asking sobering questions about theology, demographics and the future. The liberal approach to observance makes it impossible to set and maintain high expectations in terms of communal participation, argued Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan, in a much-debated broadside in The Forward. Without an omnipotent God who can compel believers to practice a prescribed pattern of behavior, religious consumerism becomes the movements dominant ethos. ...In the absence of a strong theological

The strange victory by liberal religion

On Religion
basis for making religious demands, the members lose interest and wander off. There is, however, an ironic cultural reality hiding in all the negative trends that have been nagging liberal Judeo-Christian institutions, noted historian John Turner, who teaches religious studies at George Mason University. This ironic wrinkle is easiest to see in the influential denominations scholars call the seven sisters of Protestantism. These churches, in descending order by size, are the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Episcopal Church, the American Baptist Churches USA, the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Recent research from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that, for the first time, America lacks a Protestant majority, with only 48 percent of the population claiming ties to Protestant denominations.

This trend has affected a variety of churches, but the liberal mainline has been hit especially hard. Episcopal membership, for example, has fallen from 3.4 million in 1967 to 1.9 million in 2011. The United Church of Christ, President Barack Obamas denomination, has declined from more than 2 million members in 1962 to just over 1 million in 2011. However, liberal religious groups may have ultimately lost the battle for membership, but they won the larger cultural struggle, noted Turner in an online First Things essay. Through their embrace of religious pluralism and more universal mystical religious experiences, liberal Protestants imperiled their own institutional strength but persuaded many Americans of the value of their ideas. For example, liberal Protestants have -backed by progressive elements in Catholicism and Judaism -- been victorious in their push to define religions value in public life primarily in terms of social and economic justice, in contrast with more conservative groups that would stress both good works and evangelism. Then there is religious liberalisms much higher tolerance of pluralism, even on eternal issues tied to salvation, said Turner in a telephone interview. Belief in universalism -- that all world religions lead to the same eternal ends -- remains very divisive

among evangelicals, but you would have to say that this belief has become the norm in Middle America. Liberal religious leaders, he added, have been intensely committed to the cultural prestige of science in debates about lifes big questions. They won that battle, too. Religious liberals have also been much quicker to adapt to the looser moral standards of the Sexual Revolution, especially when changing ancient doctrines linked to hot-button topics such as sex outside of marriage, abortion and homosexuality. Actually, its hard to know, said Turner, if mainline Protestants and other religious liberals simply jumped on the bandwagon of the Sexual Revolution or if, in the end, they got run over by it. The bottom line, he said, is that the religious left has the cultural momentum right now, even as its own institutions are wrestling with painful issues with demographics, membership totals and budgets. Its hard to know what the future holds, said Turner. I mean, Thomas Jefferson was absolutely sure that Unitarianism was the future of religion in America. That isnt how things turned out, at least not in terms of whats happened in America in the past.

Five-run third seals Pilots win over Big Green

By BOB WEBER The Delphos Herald btzweber@bright.net OTTOVILLE The Ayersville Pilots came to the home of the Big Green Thursday evening for a non-league baseball game. The Pilots, under the direction of head coach Chad Donsbach, used a 5-run third inning to best the Big Green 6-0 to capture their second win of the year. The Big Green actually had the best scoring opportunities during the first two innings of play. In the first, junior Luke Schimmoeller drew a 2-out walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch; however, he was left stranded when sophomore cleanup hitter Brandon Boecker grounded back to the pitcher for the third out of the inning. In the second inning, the Big Green again mounted a 2-out rally after sophomore Wesley Markward walked and moved to second on freshman Jarrod Fannings single to left field. However, the Pilots got freshman Trent Miller to pop out to shortstop, keeping the game scoreless after two innings of play. The third inning was all the Pilots needed on the evening, plating five runs on five hits, a walk and an error by the Big Green. The Pilots got singles by Gage Odom, Joe Goonan, Mason Aelker, Brandon Peglow and Brayton Martin. Aekler had two runs batted in and Peglow and Martin one apiece. The rally knocked out Big Green starting pitcher Schimmoeller and brought in fellow junior Alex Horstman to get the last out of the inning. The Pilots last run of the game came in the fourth off of Horstman. After a leadoff single by Goonan, he was immediately erased off the base paths by a double play grounded out by junior Matt Engel. Junior Luke Lawson got a 2-out single and junior Zach Clark reached first after striking out but having the third strike elude the Big Green catcher for the third out of the inning. Senior Aelker took advantage of the error by singling home Lawson for his teams sixth run of the game. The left-handed Engel went the distance for the Pilots, getting a shutout on a 1-hit performance. He struck out seven and walked five on the night. Big Green head coach Tony Castronova was impressed with Engels performance: Yeah, he also pitched against us last year. Hes gotten a lot better - you can tell and held us scoreless and only gave up one hit. Theyve got a nice team that went deep in the tournament last year and will be a team to watch this year again. Aelker was the hitting star for the game, going 3-4, scoring a run and

DELPHOS Jeffersons baseballers had been putting up big offensive numbers in compiling a 3-1 openingweek record. They didnt do so on a brilliant Thursday before a nice crowd against crosstown rival St. Johns in the Playing Hardball Against ALS (PHAALS) contest held at Wildcat Field. They didnt need to as seniors Drew Kortokrax and Zach Ricker combined for a 2-hitter and the Cats scored a late run to nab a 3-2 victory. This was the first close game weve had since our scrimmages; every other game had been won or lost relatively easily, Jefferson head coach Doug Geary said. We had to find a different way to win the game. We came up with some big hits. We had our number-9 hitter (Gage Townsend-Schleeter) come up with a sacrifice that helped us score our first run and a big RBI to score the second. This was a great game we had a warm day with a big crowd against a rival that gets you ready for the Northwest Conference opener Thursday; every play was significant. Tied at 2-2 entering the top of the seventh, the Wildcats, the visitors this day, got a leadoff walk to Austin Jettinghoff by St. Johns senior starter Troy Warnecke (0-1; 6-plus innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 1 earned, 5 baseson-balls, 7 strikeouts; 106 pitches, 67 strikes) and Zach Kimmett barely missed a home run to deep left, hitting off the fence for a double and finishing Warneckes stint on the mound. Kortokrax greeted lefty reliever Drew Wagner with a fly ball deep enough to center to plate Jettinghoff and move Kimmett to third. Wagner fanned the next two to get out of the inning only down 3-2. I probably should have taken Troy out at the start of the inning we were talking about it between innings but he earned the benefit of the doubt with how well he pitched, St. Johns firstyear coach Ryan Warnecke explained. He kept us in the game. We knew Jefferson could hit the ball and they did; we just couldnt match them, which we knew we had to. In the bottom half, Ricker

PHAALS just the beginning

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Jeff Swick had coached baseball for over a decade at Fort Jennings. Important though that was for the community, he found a higher calling. He stepped down to become president of the Playing Hardball Against ALS (PHAALS) Foundation that serves patients and families stricken with ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease). According to information supplied by Swick, founded in 2012, the PHAALS Foundation provides services for the ALS community, helps promote ALS awareness, raises funds for Foundation services and provides families with the Diamond Dreams Program. The Foundation also provides the PHAALS Hall of Fame Scholarship to approved families with ALS. Its mission is to help in the fight for a cure for Lou Gehrigs Disease and enrich the lives of families battling ALS. They hope to do this through research, awareness and financial assistance to those stricken with ALS. They also seek to provide physical and emotional support. They have set up a schedule of 24 dates for baseball games as part of fundraising and raising awareness efforts for those dealing with this disease. We have a number of these games set up and at each one, we are going to induct into our PHAALS Hall of Fame LEGENDS those who have died from this disease, Swick explained. The St. Johns and Jefferson baseball match Thursday night was the third installment of the series, each team wearing special game shirts: St. Johns in white and Jefferson in red. The second game, Parkway at Spencerville, was postponed from Tuesday until April 26. Other games in the surrounding area are Lima Senior at LCC, Tuesday; Fort Jennings at Leipsic, Thursday; Elida and Van Wert at Napoleon, April 13; Bluffton at Ottoville, April 17; Allen East at Columbus Grove, April 18; Baldwin Wallace at ONU (college), April 20; Continental at Kalida, April 22, Ottawa-Glandorf at Defiance, April 23; PandoraGilboa vs. Miller City at Fifth Third Field in Toledo (Game 2), April 24; and Paulding at Lincolnview, April 25.

St. Johns Ben Wrasman beats a throw to Jefferson third sacker Jordan Herron after advancing from first on a wild pitch and error in the seventh inning of the Blue Jays/ Wildcats PHAALS game at Wildcat Field Thursday. Wrasman was left stranded as the Wildcats grabbed a 3-2 victory. (Delphos Herald/Tom Morris) (1-0; 2 IPs, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 3 Ks) hit Ben Wrasman with one down. A wild pitch and an error on the sequence allowed Wrasman to slide into third. However, Ricker put something extra on as he retired the next two via a called third strike and a groundout to end the contest. The Wildcats loaded the bases in the top of the first on a 1-out double to deep center by Ricker and 2-out free passes to Kimmett and Kortokrax but could not score. The Blue Jays (1-2) got their only hit against Kortokrax (5 IPs, 1 unearned run, 3 BBs, 8 Ks; 86 pitches, 57 strikes) with one down in the bottom half as Andrew Metzger grounded a hit into center, stole second and moved to third on a Warnecke groundout. He remained there. The Red and White got up 1-0 in the second. Zavier Buzard walked to lead it off and an error on Jordan herrons grounder allowed both runners to stay aboard. Gage Townsend-Schleeter bunted both up a base and Ross Thompson (2-for-4) ripped a line shot up the middle to get Buzard home and put runners on the corners. However, two pop-ups kept the damage at 1-0. The Blue and Gold got a 2-out free pass to Geise in the third and he stole the next two bases but the Jays couldnt get him in. The Wildcats went up 2-0 in the fourth. Buzard got on courtesy of an error and scored an out hence as Townsend-Schleeter crushed a 2-bagger to left. Ricker walked with two outs but both runners remained on base. Kortokrax slashed a 1-out double to the base of the fence in right in the fifth but got no farther. The Jays slashed their deficit in half in the home half. Clay Courtney got on courtesy of an error and Craig Klausing walked. An out later, both advanced on Ben Wrasmans nibbler and, with Geise at the plate, a wild pitch scored Courtney. Geise walked but Kortokrax registered his eighth and final K to get out of the frame. In the Jefferson sixth, Thompson rocketed a 1-out double down the left-field line but could not advance. St. Johns tied it in the bottom half against Ricker. With one down, Ryan Buescher was safe on a fielding error and moved up on a wild pitch. An out hence, Courtney blooped a hit into short left and Courtney, running all the way, scored when the ball wasnt fielded cleanly to knot the score at 2-2. Klausings fielders choice ended the inning. Thats the Drew we saw at the end of his sophomore year. He missed last spring with an injury, Geary added. He pitched 87 pitches against Van Wert but didnt have the same velocity or control that he had today; it was back. We didnt want him to go over 90 pitches today. Zach gave is outstanding relief today; he really put something extra on his pitches after he hit Wrasman. Coach Warnecke agreed. Kortokrax is one heck of a pitcher; we havent faced anyone this year with that kind of heat and we really got nothing going against him, he added. Were not used to seeing live pitching; weve been facing coach-pitch, so were catching up. I think well start turning that around as we get more at-bats. We made a couple mistakes fielding the ball that hurt us and that has been a strength for us so far this year. Both teams return with doubleheader action Saturday: St. Johns playing Antwerp and Lincolnview at Lincolnview starting at 11 a.m. and Jefferson hosting Parkway for a noon twin-bill.

knocking in three. Goonan went 3-5 and scored a run in helping his squad get their second win of the year. Castronova knew the 5-run third inning was the difference for his depleted team (six seniors were on their class trip to New York City): We had our seniors gone on their trip but our younger kids played hard, but that third inning really hurt. They had that one inning (third) that they got some big hits, got on a roll and the next thing we knew it was 5-0. Schimmoeller picked up the loss for the Big Green as they used three pitchers on the evening with sophomore Boecker going the last three innings and not giving up a run on only two hits and a walk. The Big Green (1-2) will start Putnam County League play next Tuesday when they host the Columbus Grove Bulldogs starting at 5 oclock. The Pilots (2-1) will host the Lincolnview Lancers next Tuesday for a 5 oclock start.

The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY A loss to rival Oklahoma City cost the Spurs control of the race for home-court advantage in the Western Conference playoffs. However, thats hardly the chief concern for San Antonio with the regular season winding down. That All-Star point guard Tony Parker was sidelined yet again in a 100-88 loss to the Thunder on Thursday night looms even larger. Russell Westbrook scored 27 points, Kevin Durant had 25 and Oklahoma City held off a series of San Antonio comebacks, the last one fiz-

zling as Parker sat on the bench for the last 7 minutes with a shin injury. Parker was just working his way back into form after missing time with a sprained left ankle. The Spurs lost for the third time in four games and relinquished of control of the race for the top seed in the West, despite still holding a halfgame lead on Oklahoma City. The Thunder pulled even in the loss column and would own the tiebreaker if both teams won out because of a better record against the West. Derek Fisher hit a seasonhigh five 3-pointers and had

17 points, his most since joining Oklahoma City in late February, while fueling a big first-half run that put the Thunder ahead to stay. Kawhi Leonard and Tim Duncan each scored 24 points and had double-doubles for the Spurs. Parker had just two points in 25 minutes and coach Gregg Popovich pulled him after noticing him limping. San Antonio was already playing without sixth man Manu Ginobili (hamstring), who could miss the rest of the regular season, and fellow reserve Stephen Jackson (ankle). Parker wasnt sure

whether hed miss any time with his latest problem. The Thunder took control with a 26-5 surge that started midway through the first quarter, then fended off a series of comebacks as San Antonio tried to rally from 20 points behind in the first half and 14 down in the fourth quarter. The Spurs got as close as 87-84 following Duncans layup with 5:54 to play, at the end of a 13-2 run that featured three baskets by Boris Diaw. Westbrook hit two free throws on two of Oklahoma See NBA, page 7

MIDDLE POINT- The Lincolnview Lancers faced off against the Fort Jennings Musketeers on Thursday night at Lincolnview High School in baseball action. The Lancers got their first win of the season with a 6-3 victory. The Musketeers got on the board in the first frame after Mark Metzger singled and came around to score due to some poor fielding by the Lancers. Lincolnview started the bottom of the first frame with a leadoff single by Nick Leeth, who came around to score when Austin Leeth doubled him home. Later in the first, with two outs, Conner McCleery singled home Austin Leeth to give the Lancers a 2-1 lead after one inning. In the top of the second, Alex Vetter walked for the Musketeers but Lincolnview pitcher Jalen Roberts struck out two of the next three batters to end the inning. Kurt Warnecke shut out the Lancer bats over the next three innings, striking out five batters through four innings. In the top of the fourth inning, the Musketeers struck for 1 run. Vetter singled to start the inning and advanced to second after Zach Finn walked to put runners on first and second. Two batters later, Conner Wallenhorst got an RBI single to tie the game at two. In the bottom of the fifth, the Lancers got both Nick and Austin Leeth on after both singled. Nick Leeth crossed home plate after a messed-up pickoff attempt by Warnecke. McCleery singled home Austin Leeth to give the Lancers a 4-2 lead in the fifth inning. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Dalton Kaysor and Nick Leeth both had RBI singles to give the Lancers a 6-2 lead. In the top of the seventh inning, Metzger and Bret Clay both singled after Jared Hoersten singled. Two batters later, the umpire ruled that a Lancer fielder interfered with a Fort Jennings baserunner, resulting in the runner

being awarded home plate. The Musketeers had cut the Lancer lead to 6-3. Roberts got the next batter to ground into a game-ending double play to give the Lancers their first victory on the young season. This was the first win in the coaching career for Kevin Longstreth: Im happy with the way Jalen came out and pitched. He is a freshman, its his first time on the mound first start ever on varsity and he did a good job throwing strikes. He did an outstanding job of throwing strikes. We started a freshman on the mound and a freshman behind the plate and they did an excellent job of letting the defense work for us tonight and we cut down on the errors and it showed up on the scoreboard tonight. Pitching was OK, defense was OK, energy was OK; we just need to keep getting better, Fort Jennings coach Eric Schwab noted. We left a small village on the base paths today and you arent going to win ball games like that. We went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and had 10 strikeouts on the game. With the win the Lancers improve to 1-2 on the year and the Musketeers drop to 3-2 on the season. Fort Jennings visits Ottawa-Glandorf 5 p.m. Monday, while Lincolnview hosts Hicksville that same time.

Emmert defends record during contentious briefing

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA He sparred with reporters. He defended his record. He brushed off criticism as part of the job. NCAA President Mark Emmert was downright defiant with anyone who questioned whether hes leading the organization in the right direction. The annual state-of-the-NCAA news conference leading up to the Final Four turned into a series of contentious exchanges Thursday, as Emmert insisted anyone pushing for significant reform is bound to rub some people the wrong way. Some of the criticisms about change and whats going on naturally get leveled at the guy at the top, he said. If youre going to launch a change agenda, youre got to be willing to deal with criticism. So, OK, I deal with criticism. The NCAA has come under fire for botching the investigation into a rogue booster at Miami and there have been complaints about the way the governing body handled other cases, such as the harsh sanctions leveled against Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Emmert has acknowledged that investigators overstepped their authority in their zeal to collect information against Miami. A new enforcement director was brought in to clean up the mess. The Miami issue had some enormous foul-ups in it, he explained. Weve addressed those issues. Still, the organization faces about a half-dozen legal challenges to the way it does business, including a federal antitrust lawsuit filed by Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania. He believes the NCAA overstepped its authority when it imposed sanctions against Penn State for covering up the Sandusky case, based largely on a scathing internal review led by former FBI chief Louis Freeh. If youre not getting sued today, youre not doing anything, Emmert said. I dont know anybody that doesnt have litigation pending, so Im not going to apologize for the fact that we have a very litigious society and theres plenty of reasons to file suit against large organizations. Emmert also faced questions about a report from USA Today Sports that accused him of shirking responsibility for problems when he worked at Connecticut, LSU and Montana State. The newspaper wrote Emmert had a pattern of moving on to more lucrative posts before the full extent of his previous troubles were known. He has served as NCAA president since November 2010. The fact of the matter is that everywhere Ive been, Ive been asked by boards or other bosses to help drive change, he said. Im very proud of the changes that have been made at every place Ive been along the way. Emmert spent the first 15 minutes of his news conference going into great detail about all the changes that have occurred on his watch at the NCAA, many of them designed to toughen academic standards while streamlining the rule book to eliminate confusing guidelines and put the focus on more heinous offenses, such as paying players or fixing grades. He also praised the city of Atlanta for its Final Four preparations and reveled in the tournaments unpredictability, which included Florida Gulf Coast becoming the first No. 15 seed to reach the round of 16 and ninth-seeded Wichita State earning a spot in the Final Four along with Louisville, Michigan and Syracuse. Weve seen some extraordinary performances to get to this place, Emmert added. If history is any guide at all, Im sure there will be a lot more in the handful of games that are remaining. Louisville coach Rick Pitino praised many of Emmerts initiatives beyond the Final Four. The things theyre doing, getting the rule book out of play and relaxing the rules and doing things, I think theyre doing some brilliant things, Pitino said. For us, as coaches, theyre doing a lot of great things right now. But the long-running Miami investigation has tempered much of the enthusiasm. You cant do that to Miami, you cant do that to a university, drag it out like that for a long period of time. Its just not fair, Pitino said. Now, (the NCAA) did have some speed bumps where theyve done the wrong things but thats dragging it out too much for the university. Theyve got to wrap this thing up. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva, who is also on the NCAA basketball committee, insisted that Emmert has the full confidence of the membership despite the recent missteps and negative publicity. Among the cases cited by USA Today Sports: allegations of academic fraud in the LSU football program in 2001-02, when Emmert was chancellor at the school and led an investigation that found five minor violations while declaring most of the claims unfounded. President Emmert is an outstanding leader, said Alleva, who came to LSU after the academic fraud case. I can tell

you we currently have things in place that he put into place to make sure we dont have any of those kind of problems again. The folks at LSU think the world of Mark Emmert and the way he was a leader during his time there. But, in his time before the media, Emmert mostly responded to questions about the seamier side of college athletics, everything from reports showing athletes are coping with tougher academic standards by choosing easier courses of study a trend known as clustering to a report that Auburn paid football players during its 2010 national championship season to Rutgers firing of mens basketball coach Mike Rice after a video emerged showing him abusing players and berating them with gay slurs. Plus, there were plenty of questions about Emmerts own record. Im proud of my reputation at every place Ive been, he insisted. If you want to go to my campuses, scratch around and find somebody that doesnt like some of the decisions Ive made, Im sure you can find them. On his way off the podium, Emmert even took a parting shot at a reporter who has called for his dismissal. I know youre disappointed, the president added with a sly grin, but Im still here.
Ware chats with Letterman, does Top 10 List: Kevin Ware might have a future as a comedian. The Louisville guard was at ease as he presented the Top 10 List on the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night, even tossing in a barb at Lettermans late-night rival Jay Leno. How about that for a kid? Kevin Ware! Letterman said. Ware has become something of a celebrity since his right tibia snapped during the first half of Sundays Midwest Regional final against Duke. His teammates were devastated by the horrific injury, with several collapsing to the floor in tears after it happened. But Ware told them to just go win the game before he was wheeled off the floor on a stretcher and the Cardinals rallied to beat Duke 85-63 and earn a second straight trip to the Final Four. Ware underwent surgery Sunday night and was released from the hospital two days later. On Wednesday, hours after being cleared by doctors, he accompanied top-seeded Louisville to the Final Four being played in his hometown of Atlanta. This goes from a terrible tragedy to bit of a miracle, doesnt it? Letterman asked, chatting with the sophomore before Ware read the top 10 list of Thoughts going through Kevin Wares mind after he broke his leg: 10. What was that loud cracking sound? 9. I hope this doesnt leave a bruise. 8. Hey look, my tibia! 7. Ouch. 6. Did it go in? 5. Oh boy, hospital food. 4. Tape it up, coach, Im staying in. 3. They fired Leno? 2. Heat then ice? Or ice then heat? 1. At least my brackets not busted. In the interview, taped earlier Thursday at Louisvilles hotel, Ware told Letterman he still hasnt seen a video of the injury And I dont plan on it. He also said his first concern when he got to the hospital was for his mother. I know she freaks out over the littlest things, Ware added. I called her and made sure she was all right.

Brooklyn Nets 92-90 on Thursday night. Jimmy Butler had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 18 points and Robinson finished with 12 as the Bulls shook off the absences of five key players to keep Indiana from clinching the Central Division title theyve won the last two years. Deron Williams had 30 points and 10 assists for the Nets, who had a disappointing return home from an eightgame road trip. Brook Lopez finished with 28 points but he had a turnover and two misses in the final minute, including a corner jumper that went in and out that would have forced overtime. NUGGETS 95, MAVERICKS 94 DENVER Corey Brewer scored

23 points and got a hand on Anthony Morrows last-second shot to preserve the Nuggets 19th straight home win. Andre Iguodalas layup with 2.8 seconds put Denver ahead in a game that Dallas dominated. The win was bittersweet, though. Denvers dreams of a deep playoff run might have taken a huge hit when they lost forward Danilo Gallinari to what looked like serious knee injury in the second quarter. Gallinari is scheduled for an MRI today but if his screams of pain and the blank looks of his teammates after he went down with 4:27 left in the first half are any indication, the Nuggets will head into the playoffs without him.

On Health
antiviral might also reduce the risk of infecting any sexual partners. So now that you have been diagnosed, focus on three priorities. The first is treatment to reduce the severity and frequency of your outbreaks. Talk to your doctor about whether your recurrent attacks are frequent enough to try taking a daily antiviral drug. Another option to discuss is having the antiviral drug with you at all times, taking it at the very first sign of a new attack. The second priority is to prevent infecting a sexual partner. Specifically: -- Abstain from sexual activity when you have visible blisters or ulcers. This is when you are most likely to transmit the infection. -- Make sure your partner uses a condom during sexual activity. The third priority is to protect your baby if you become pregnant. If you do, be sure you let your obstetrician know about your past genital herpes infections, even if you are not having any herpes attacks during the pregnancy. One option to discuss is whether to take antivirals for the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Also, if you have visible ulcers at the time of delivery, your doctor will probably encourage you to have a C-section to prevent the herpes virus from spreading to your newborn.

The virus spreads through skinto-skin contact, including vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. A pregnant woman with an HSV infection can pass the virus to her baby during vaginal delivery. When I was in medical school, there was no way of treating genital herpes outbreaks and no way of reducing the number of recurrent attacks. Fortunately, medical research led to the development of potent antiviral medicines. These include valacyclovir (Valtrex), famciclovir (Famvir) and acyclovir (Zovirax). Antiviral medications can reduce the severity and shorten the duration of your symptoms. If you have severe or frequent outbreaks, a daily antiviral medication may help reduce the number of attacks that you have. Taking a daily

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 2013 Your aspirations will be elevated to new heights in the year ahead. It could mean a lot of work in a few cases, but the rewards could be commensurate. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The more complicated an assignment is, the more pride youll take in fulfilling it. Youll welcome challenges that would make others blanch. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When you give your word that youll do something for another, its an ironclad commitment. Reliability is one of your more admirable traits. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Participating in one of your favorite activities with some old friends will bring you considerable pleasure. Itll be like wearing a pair of favorite shoes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You wont have to bulldoze your way through a critical development, but you will have to be persistent and unflagging in your aims. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some kind of special knowledge, skill or know-how that youve acquired over a long period of time will be put to good use. Its likely to gain you much admiration from your peers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although you will make a contribution to an endeavor, conditions are somewhat unusual in that you could benefit more from others efforts than from your own. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Events will help further solidify a strong relationship of long standing. Chances are it will involve someone whom you already consider to be one of your closest friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -You have the ability to bring order and balance into the life of another through a personal intervention. Youll make your own determination as to how and when your help is required. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some of your best opportunities will develop through social contacts. You arent likely to intentionally use anybody, things will just happen of their own accord. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Certain changes are likely to occur that will prove to be of material benefit. The first shift in your circumstances is likely to take place today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The light touch you can sometimes put on lifes serious problems will be a welcome tonic for those troubled souls who cross your path. All will be appreciative. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This could be a good time for a shopping excursion. Youll have a shrewd eye for spotting a bargain and will be much more sensible about the purchases you make.

Her daughter, Jessie, is now 4 years old, a wonderful child and my goddaughter. I want her as my flower girl. My mother liked Kayla until Jessie was born and she realized the child is biracial. My mother hit the roof when she found out Kayla and Jessie are in the wedding party. She claims they are tainted. I am astounded and furious with my mother. Her side of the family is extremely racist, and I have little to do with them. My mother always downplayed their behavior as old fashioned, but now that shes older, shes become just like them. Believe me, its not early-onset dementia or anything like that.

Iran nuke talks open, EU asks Tehran to compromise

BY GEORGE JAHN ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) Talks seeking to find common ground between Iran and a group of six nations over concerns that Tehran might misuse its nuclear program to make weapons appeared to run into trouble shortly after they began today. A Western diplomat said Iran had failed to deliver a clear and concrete response to the offer on the table from the group and instead offered a reworking of proposals it made last year at talks that broke up in disagreement. Iran is demanding international recognition of its right to advanced nuclear technology, but other countries are concerned that the Islamic Republic wants to misuse that expertise to make atomic arms. The six insist Iran cut back on its highest grade uranium enrichment production and stockpile, fearing Tehran will divert it from making nuclear fuel to form the material used in the core of nuclear warhead. They say Iran must make that move and make it first to build confidence that its nuclear program is peaceful. Iranian negotiator Ali Bagheri challenged the six countries on that point, telling reporters what is being referred to as confidencebuilding measures are actions that both sides need to take simultaneously. He gave no specifics, but the comment could be an allusion to Iranian demands of sweeping sanctions relief instead of the offer from the six offering only a limited lifting of sanctions. It also wants any nuclear concessions it makes to have specific limits instead of leading to others. Alluding to that demand, Bagheri said his country wanted to nail down the start of the process, the dimensions of the process and the final outcome of the process. And he described any would-be nuclear deal as only part of a comprehensive process, suggesting Iran was still holding to its earlier demands of a broader deal also addressing security issues. Such views were unlikely to sit well with the six the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. At the talks in the Kazakh city of Almaty they are asking Tehran only to greatly limit its production and stockpiling of uranium enriched to 20 percent, which is just a technical step away from weapons-grade uranium. That would keep Irans supply below the amount needed for further processing into a weapon. But they view that only as a first step toward the process. Iran is operating more than 10,000 centrifuges. While most are enriching below 20 percent, this material, too

UN condemns Afghan attack that killed at least 46

BY KIM GAMEL and AMIR SHAH

US sub sinking 50 years ago led to safety changes

BY DAVID SHARP

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Afghan officials released harrowing new details on Thursday about an attack in a western province where assailants shot everyone in their path, sending terrified people jumping from windows trying to escape the assailants who killed at least 46 civilians and security forces. Civilians have frequently been caught up in the fighting between militants and Afghan and U.S.-led combat forces, but the U.N. condemned Wednesdays attack, saying civilians were deliberately targeted at the courthouse and other government offices in Farah province. Two judges, six prosecutors, administration officers and cleaners working at the site were among the dead, the U.N. said. Also Thursday, NATO reported that an American F-16 fighter jet had crashed in eastern Afghanistan, killing the U.S. pilot. The U.S.-led military coalition did not release further details about Wednesdays crash. While the cause of the crash is under investigation, initial reporting indicates there was no insurgent activity in the area at the time of the crash, the coalition said in a statement. Illustrating other dangers, an airstrike by U.S.-led forces mistakenly killed four policemen and two brothers as their car was being searched at a checkpoint in eastern Afghanistan, an Afghan official said Thursday. The strike occurred in the Deh Yak district of Ghazni province, according to district chief Fazel Ahmad Toolwak. He said NATO troops were fighting Taliban militants about 10 kilometers (six miles) away, but those killed in the strike were not involved in that battle. A NATO spokesman, U.S. Army Maj. Adam Wojack, said the international military coalition was looking into the report, adding it takes all allegations of this type seriously. According to a recent U.N. report, 2,754 Afghan civilians were killed last year down 12 percent from 3,131 killed in 2011. But the number killed in the second half of last year rose, suggesting that Afghanistan is likely to face continued violence as the Taliban and other militants fight for control of the country as foreign forces continue their withdrawal.

Search crews recount dramatic Calif. hiker rescue

BY GILLIAN FLACCUS RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (AP) At first, the rescuers couldnt believe their ears: After four days of grueling searching, they suddenly heard a faint female voice calling for help. Over the next 90 agonizing minutes, the cries for help and first faint, and then louder led the search and rescue crew across a canyon, into a drainage and up several waterfalls to a near-vertical slope where lost hiker Kyndall Jack was clinging to rocky outcropping no bigger than a yoga mat. The 18-year-old, who had been missing in Southern Californias Cleveland National Forest since Sunday, had no shoes, was having trouble breathing and was severely disoriented from dehydration when she was found Thursday. The first thing she asked was what year it was, said Los Angeles County Reserve Deputy Fred Wenzel, who reached her first. Then, she asked for her mother. She was filthy from head to toe, her lips were black with dirt, her eyes were barely open and she had on no shoes, said sheriffs Deputy Jim Moss, a paramedic who was dropped to her by helicopter and airlifted her to safety in a harness. She was just kind of clinging to the ledge on the cliff side, going in and out of consciousness. Her rescuers were afraid to give her water, despite her extreme dehydration, because she had BY GREG RISLING

could be turned into weapons-grade uranium, although with greater effort than is the case for the 20-percent stockpile. Tehran also is only a few years away from completing a reactor that will produce plutonium, another pathway to nuclear arms. The U.N. Security Council has demanded a stop to both that effort and all enrichment in a series of resolutions since 2006. Iran denies any interest in atomic arms, insists its enrichment program serves only peaceful needs, says it has a right to enrich under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and describes U.N. Security Council demands as illegal. Ahead of the meeting an EU official speaking for the six world powers said today the onus was on Iran to engage on the sixnation offer, which foresees a lifting of sanctions on Irans gold and petrochemical trade but keeps penalties crippling Irans oil sales and economy in place.

Teen in Nevada crash that killed 5 was a fugitive

LOS ANGELES (AP) A teenager facing drunken driving charges in a Nevada crash that killed five members of a California family had escaped from a juvenile facility, and its unclear whether anyone ever went looking for him, an Orange County supervisor says. Jean Ervin Soriano, 18, fled the Youth Guidance Center in Santa Ana, Calif., on March 1. The facility treats drug and alcohol abusers and is run by the Orange County Probation Department, which normally contacts the county Sheriffs Department regarding escapes. However, the Sheriffs Department has no record of being asked to help look for Soriano, spokeswoman Gail Krause said. Todd Spitzer, a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, said Thursday that his panel only learned of Sorianos fugitive status from county officials via email earlier this week. This was handled incredibly nonchalantly, he said. Why didnt the board know for more than a month? The only reason we found out about him was that he killed five people. Ed Harrison, a spokesman for the Probation Department, declined to comment about why Soriano was at the Orange BY JOCELYN NOVECK

so much dirt in her mouth she could choke, Wenzel said. She was limp and almost lifeless. I was just holding her as the crew chief brought us up and just holding onto her, bringing her in, Moss said of the airlift. She wouldnt have made it much longer. Shes really lucky. Jacks dramatic rescue brings a happy end to a saga that gripped Southern California since Easter, when Jack and her friend, 19-year-old Nicolas Cendoya, called 911 to report that they were lost and out of water after wandering off the trail during what they expected would be an easy day hike on the Holy Jim Trail. The popular trail is in the Cleveland National Forest, where the dangers of 720 miles of rugged mountain wilderness run smack up against the planned communities and shopping malls of suburban southeast Orange County. The two got separated sometime Sunday night and were both found less than a mile from their car and very, very close to one another, although they did not know it, said Lt. Jason Park, an Orange County sheriffs spokesman. Many details of the pairs ordeal remained a mystery and officials hoped to question them more closely once they were rested and more stable. Its unclear, for example, why Jack and Cendoya went off the well-marked trail and how much water they had with them. Its also unclear exactly when and how they got separated. then return before rescue crews arrived. Soriano told the arresting trooper he had too many beers before the crash, according to an arrest report. Several beer bottles were found in the SUV, authorities said. Results of a blood-alcohol test were pending. The van was carrying a trio of brothers and other members of their family who had been visiting their sick father in Denver. They were headed home to Southern California to prepare for an Easter celebration. Three brothers, one of their wives and a girl were killed. Troopers said most of the passengers in the van were thrown from the vehicle as it overturned in the desert. Two other people were injured and hospitalized. Soriano, who had only scrapes and bruises, was being held on $3.5 million bail and is due back in court Wednesday. Abel Yanez, a deputy public defender, declined comment because he hasnt seen the charges against his client. Late Wednesday, Spitzer sent a list of 14 questions to probation officials to find out how Sorianos case was handled. He wanted to know what attempts were made to find him, whether law enforcement was notified about the escape, and the protocol when such situations occur.

Thousands protest in West Bank, rocket hits Israel

Army employee shot, killed at Ft. Knox

KITTERY, Maine (AP) The first sign of trouble for the USS Thresher was a garbled message about a minor difficulty after the nuclear-powered submarine descended to about 1,000 feet on what was supposed to be a routine test dive off Cape Cod. Minutes later, the crew of a rescue ship made out the ominous words exceeding test depth and listened as the sub disintegrated under the crushing pressure of the sea. Just like that, the Thresher was gone, along with 129 men. Fifty years ago, the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history delivered a blow to national pride during the Cold War and became the impetus for safety improvements. To this day, some designers and maintenance personnel listen to an audio recording of a submarine disintegrating to underscore the importance of safety. This weekend, hundreds who lost loved ones when the Thresher sank will gather at memorial events in Portsmouth, N.H., and Kittery, Maine. Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, and based in Groton, Conn., the first-in-class Thresher was the worlds most advanced fast attack submarine when it was commissioned in 1961. Featuring a cigar-shaped hull and nuclear propulsion, the 278-foot-long submarine could travel underwater for unlimited distances. It could dive deeper than earlier submarines, enduring pressure at unforgiving depths. It was designed to be quieter, to avoid detection. On April 10, 1963, the submarine already had undergone initial sea trials and was back in the ocean about 220 miles off Cape Cod, Mass., for deep-dive testing. Some submariners are baffled by the initial message about a minor difficulty because its believed a brazed joint on an interior pipe had burst a problem anything but minor. The Navy believes sea water sprayed onto an electrical panel, shorting it out and causing an emergency shutdown of the nuclear reactor.

This was handled incredibly nonchalantly. Why didnt the board know for more than a month? The only reason we found out about him was that he killed five people.

Todd Spitzer, a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors County juvenile facility or how he escaped. Nevada prosecutor Brian Rutledge said police did search for Sorianos name in a national criminal database for fugitive warrants and turned up nothing. Authorities in California either didnt put his name into the computer or neglected to enter in the fact that he was a fugitive, Rutledge said. Soriano was arrested Saturday after the SUV he was driving rear-ended a van on a freeway outside Las Vegas, police said. A truck driver told investigators that he saw Soriano and his passenger walk away from the crash site and

Hillary Clinton to headline NY womens conference

NEW YORK (AP) Theres been plenty of star power already at the Women in the World summit in New York: Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep both were part of the opening night program. But a different sort of star is sure to get a rapturous reception today at the annual two-day conference, which focuses on global womens issues: Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is her second high-profile speech this week, following one at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards in Washington, and it coincides with the announcement Thursday of her new memoir about her years as secretary of state. Shes addressed this forum before, but now theres the added excitement of all the speculation: Whats next for her? The main focus of the womens conference, though, is the plight of women across the globe, and Jolie had the most emotional moment Thursday, introducing via video from Britain Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls education. Today Im going to announce the happiest moment of my life, the 15-year-old said in the brief video, wearing a bright red headscarf and at one point shyly covering her face with her hands. She said that thanks to the new Malalas Fund, which she will administer, a new school in her homeland would be built for 40 girls. Let us turn the education of 40 girls into 40 million girls, she said. Malala has garnered huge global attention since she was shot in the head in October by Taliban attackers angered by her activism. She was brought to Britain for treatment and surgery, including skull reconstruction. Shes now started attending school there. She recently signed a deal to write her memoir, and she was also shortlisted for Time Magazines Person of the Year in 2012. Jolie gave a poignant ren-

FORT KNOX, Ky. (AP) An Army civilian employee was shot and killed in a parking lot at Kentuckys Fort Knox, and investigators were seeking to question a man in connection with the shooting, authorities said. Army officials said in a news release late Wednesday that the victim was an employee of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command, which handles personnel actions for soldiers. The shooting occurred in a lot outside the command. The victim was transported to the Ireland Army Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Special Agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command are investigating a personal incident and not a random act of violence, said Chris Grey, spokesman for the independent Army investigative agency. The identity of the victim was being withheld pending notification of family. Police were seeking to speak with a person of interest in the case. The news release identified him as a 5-foot, 9-inch black man who is American and is believed to be using a black Yamaha motorcycle for transportation. Fort Knox police received a 911 call about the shooting at about 5:40 pm., the news release said. As a security measure, the posts gates were locked down at about 5:50 p.m. About an hour later, the main gate was fully reopened, but due to enhanced security measures, those coming and going were advised to expect delays. Fort Knox spokesman Kyle Hodges said late Wednesday that the post remained on a heightened security alert, but said officials dont believe the person of interest was still on post. He said he could not comment on whether the victim was targeted, or whether the shooting may have been related to his work. He also couldnt say what type of weapon was used.

HEBRON, West Bank (AP) Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in the West Bank in a show of outrage today over the deaths of two Palestinian protesters killed in clashes with Israel and a third Palestinian who died of cancer in an Israeli prison. In Gaza, militants fired a rocket that landed in southern Israel, causing no casualties. The unrest has heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinians after days of West Bank clashes and rocket fire into southern Israel, prompting the first Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip since a cease-fire was reached last November. Israel has vowed to respond harshly to further attacks from Gaza. In the West Bank city of Hebron, thousands of people turned out for the funeral of Maysara Abu Hamdiyeh, a 64-year-old prisoner who died earlier this week from throat cancer while in Israeli custody. The Palestinians have blamed Israel for Abu Hamdiyehs death, saying he did not receive proper medical care. He had been serving a life sentence for his involvement in an attempted bombing of a busy Jerusalem cafe in 2002. Abu Hamidiyehs body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag, was paraded on a stretcher in a military funeral to a Hebron mosque, where prayers were held. Thousands of people waited outside the mosque to take the body for burial. The Israeli military reported clashes with Palestinian protesters elsewhere in Hebron, Bethlehem, and on a main road in the northern West Bank. The military said it fired tear gas to disperse the crowds, and no major injuries were reported. In Tulkarem, also in the northern West Bank, hundreds of people participated in the funeral of two Palestinians who were shot dead by Israeli troops late Wednesday during clashes near a military checkpoint. The Israeli military said troops opened fire after firebombs were thrown at them. Speaking to top officials of the ruling Fatah party, President Mahmoud Abbas blamed Israel for the violence, saying it is trying to divert attention away from a four-year standstill in peace efforts.
