6B Daily News – Saturday, December 8, 2012 WORLD BRIEFING Pearl Harbor remembered on anniversary PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — More than 2,000 people at Pearl Harbor and many more around the country are marking the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II. The USS Michael Murphy, a recently christened ship named after a Pearl Harbor-based Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan, sounded its ship's whistle Friday to start a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., marking the exact time the bombing began in 1941. Crew members lined the edge of the Navy guided-missile destroyer in the harbor where the USS Arizona and USS Utah, battleships that sank in the attack, still lie. Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighter jets flew overhead in a special ''missing man'' formation to break the silence. ''Let us remember that this is where it all began. Let us remember that the arc of history was bent at this place 71 years ago today and a generation of young men and women reached deep and rose up to lead our nation to victory,'' Rhea Suh, Interior Department assistant secretary, told the crowd. ''Let us remember and be forever grateful for all of their sacrifices.'' About 30 survivors, many using walkers and canes, attended the commemoration. Edwin Schuler, of San Jose, Calif., said he remembered going up to the bridge of his ship, the USS Phoenix, to read a book on a bright, sunny Sunday morning in 1941 when he saw planes dropping bombs. ''I thought: 'Whoa, they're using big practice bombs.' I didn't know,'' said Schuler, 91. Schuler said he's returned for the annual ceremony about 30 times because it's important to spread the message of remembering Pearl Harbor. US economy adds 146K jobs; jobless rate falls to 4-year low WASHINGTON (AP) — The pace of U.S. hiring remained steady in November despite disruptions from Superstorm Sandy and employers' concerns about impending tax increases from the year-end ''fiscal cliff.'' Companies added 146,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent — the lowest in nearly four years — from 7.9 per- cent in October. The rate declined mainly because more people stopped looking for work and weren't counted as unemployed. The government said Superstorm Sandy had only a minimal effect on the figures. The Labor Department's report Friday was a mixed one. But on balance, it suggested that the job market is gradually improving. Hamas chief's Gaza visit poses challenge to Israel RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The image of Hamas' longexiled chief triumphantly walking around the Gaza Strip, flashing victory signs beside Islamic militant leaders Friday, illustrates how the group's defiance of Israel is forcing a change in Palestinian politics. Buoyed by the rise of fellow Islamists in Egypt, Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal and his allies are confronting Israel with the specter of a change in the balance of power between the two rival Palestinian factions — Hamas and the Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah. Mashaal, 56, who left the West Bank as a child and now leads Hamas from the Gulf state of Qatar, broke into tears Friday as he arrived in the Gaza Strip for his first-ever visit. Once on Gazan soil after crossing the border from Egypt, he prostrated himself in a gesture of thanks, He then recited a traditional Islamic prayer and kissed the ground. Thousands of supporters lined the streets as Mashaal and Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh drove by, waving and flashing victory signs. Mashaal's visit would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago. He would have been an easy target for Israel. Fifteen years ago, Mashaal was nearly assassinated in Jordan by Israeli agents who squirted a deadly poison in his ear, narrowly escaping after the U.S. forced Benjamin Netanyahu, then serving his first term as Israel's prime minister, to provide the antidote. the ultimate labor stronghold — a state built by factory workers for whom a high school diploma and a union card were the ticket to a middle-class life. But it took only hours for Republicans to tear down a key part of that tradition, the requirement that all employees in a union workplace pay dues. The swift action was the result of a decisive governor acting like a CEO and teaming with a supermajority of GOP allies in the statehouse to win a prize long sought by conservatives. It also provided a window into how state governments might work in an era when they are increasingly run by a single party. Gov. Rick Snyder dropped his longstanding opposition to dealing with the contentious right-towork issue Thursday. Ariz. winners claim half of Powerball prize PHOENIX (AP) — The other ticket holders in last week's record $577.5 million Powerball SPECIAL MEETINGS jackpot have claimed their half of the prize but aren't stepping into the spotlight just yet, the Arizona Lottery said Friday. The winning family opted to take the cash option of $192 million. They declined to take part in a news conference scheduled for Friday afternoon in Phoenix, the lottery said. The ticket was sold at a convenience store in Fountain Hills, Ariz., northeast of Phoenix. Lottery officials won't release the name or address of the winning family during the news conference but will give information about the family's decision to play, when they bought the winning ticket and how they responded to discovering that they had won, Lottery Director Jeff Hatch-Miller said. A statement from the family will also be released, he said. Hatch-Miller said the lottery would respond to media public records requests and release the name, but that probably would not occur before Monday because lottery officials were busy verifying that the family had the winning ticket.
