The state economic development agency and the private developers behind Moynihan Station have targeted an unlikely pot of money to help build the proposed $3 billion transit center in midtown west: homeland security dollars. “This is a logical place for people to invest homeland dollars," said James Dyer, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist who is representing Vornado Realty Trust and the Related Companies, the two firms that formed a joint venture to redevelop the Farley Post Office into Moynihan Station. “Anytime you have a station carrying more people through it that go through the airports at any one time, you obviously are going to have security concerns." The developers paid Mr. Dyer's firm, Clark & Weinstock, $220,000 in the first half of the year to lobby the Department of Homeland Security as well as other more obvious targets, such as Amtrak and the Department of Transportation, according to federal lobbying records.

Cops learn English phrases for Olympics
Amid the citywide pre-Olympic English-language-learning craze, nearly every police officer, from new graduates to those close to retirement, is studying foreign languages and refined manners, hoping to polish the capital's image.
A handbook containing useful phrases in seven languages - including English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, Korean and Arabic - has been given to all police and state-approved volunteers who will assist security service forces at next year's Games.
Ma Zhenchuan, the city's police chief, said the educational campaigns will help the force offer "cordial, civilized, professional and high-quality" security at the August sporting extravaganza.
Fluency in 13 languages significantly helped Liu Wenli, a policeman at Beihai Park, a major tourist destination close to the Forbidden City in downtown Beijing, to stand out as a runner for the Athens Olympics torch relay in 2004.
