isqualify Medicaid providers merely because they also offer abortions. The U.S. Justice Department also had filed a brief siding with Planned Parenthood, with attorneys saying the law restricts Medicaid recipients' freedom to choose their health care provider. The state had argued that federal law forbids Medicaid to cover abortions in most circumstances and that the program indirectly funds the procedures because the state has said Planned Parenthood's financial statements show it commingles Medicaid funds with other revenues. The state has said the state-federal health insurance plan for low-income and disabled people might subsidize some of the overhead costs for space where abortions are performed. Planned Parenthood's attorney, Ken Falk of the American Civil Liberties Union, has said the law signed May 10 by Gov. Mitch Daniels made Indiana the first state to deny Medicaid funds y on just one system to alert communities to possible dangers. For example, he said officials also send emails and make calls, alerting communities to possible impending dangers. In all, 14 communities were notified Thursday, he said. Mohrmann said he learned of the tsunami warning by email. It's not the only emergency management communication problem for the state this week. Alaska State Troopers Capt. Barry Wilson told the Anchorage Daily News the agency is investigating glitches in this week's Amber Alert, including breaks in audio for some radio and TV listeners. There were also problems with television text scrolls that either didn't appear or moved too fast, and not everyone who signed up for Amber Alert email and text message alerts received them. The tsunami warning glitches were cast more as the exception than the rule in a state where earthquakes are common occurrences. Thursday's quake, a magnitude 7.3, according to the Alaska Earthquake Information Center, shook a huge section of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Centered about 122 miles east of Atka and about 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage, it was jarring enough to send residents of some small coastal towns, such as Unalaska, to higher ground. There were no immediate reports of damage. It hit just after 7 p.m. Thursday. Unalaska's mayor, Shirley Marquardt, was at the airport. The shaking wasn't violent but it lasted "long enough." Officials decided to evacuate the low-lying city as a precaution. This time of year, the community is bustling. The hotel, which is built around sea level, like many other buildings in town, was full, she said. "We stand to lose everything in a tsunami," Marquardt said. Unalaska City Manager Chris Hladick e
