Iran criticizes Turkey for allowing NATO missile defense shield
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says it’s final: No GOP presidential run
Public defenders sue over poor conditions in Orleans Parish Jail
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran criticized Turkey on Tuesday for agreeing to allow NATO to station an early warning radar in the southeast of the country that will serve as part of the alliance’s missile defense system. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed the defense system was meant to protect Israel against Iranian missile attacks in the event a war breaks out with the Jewish state. Wildlife officials say roving manatee in Puerto Rico to be relocated
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — After a surge of new speculation, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared with finality Tuesday that “now is not my time” to run for president, dashing the hopes of Republicans still searching for someone other than front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. Christie had insisted for months that he wouldn’t run. But then came an intense weekend of reconsideration before he made an announcement at a news conference at the New Jersey Statehouse.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saying there is too little privacy and often too little time and space provided for meetings with their clients, lawyers for low-income defendants in New Orleans are suing Sheriff Marlin Gusman over conditions at the Orleans Parish jail. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by the Orleans Public Defenders office, also says that waiting times for such meetings are often too long and visiting hours too restrictive at the five neighboring facilities that make up the jail.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Wildlife officials in Puerto Rico plan to relocate a male manatee who escaped from a rehabilitation area during a hurricane. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Lilibeth Serrano says biologists are tracking the mammal along the island’s north coast. The manatee was stranded as a young calf in 2005 and dubbed “Tuque” for the south coast beach where he was found. He was being rehabilitated in the north in semicaptivity to get him used to the wild, but escaped during Hurricane Earl last year.

Namibians welcomed home Tuesday the skulls of ancestors taken to Germany for racist experiments more than a century ago.
Return of 20 Namibian skulls Tuesday ignites anger, not peace WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — Human skulls taken from Namibia by German colonizers returned home Tuesday after more than 100 years, but the reconciliatory gesture instead has ignited anger and renewed demands that Germany pay for its sins in this corner of Africa where more than 60,000 people were killed. The return of 20 skulls taken to Germany for racist experiments also has fueled anger about current injustices from people decimated after rebelling against German colonizers.
New technology and programs help Hispanics trace their roots MIAMI (AP) — Programs like NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are?” and PBS’ “Faces of America” are helping fuel genealogy trends. For many Hispanics, tracing family trees hasn’t been easy. Now that’s changing for America’s largest minority group as a wealth of genealogical data, including a landmark 1930 census in Mexico, is going online. Discovering information about one’s great-great grandparents and other relatives could be keystrokes away for many of the nearly 32 million Mexican-Americans.
(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal has ordered flags at state buildings to be flown at half-staff Thursday, the day of the funeral of Archbishop Philip Hannan. Hannan died last week at age 98 and will be buried in religious ceremonies at St. Louis Cathedral on Thursday. Jindal notes that Hannan was a chaplain for the 82nd Airborne and later became the 11th archbishop of New Orleans. He served in that capacity for more than two decades.
