He said that the public’s voice when pointing out a flaw in legislation was heard and corrective action was taken. Perry Varnadoe, Meigs County Economic Development director, described passage of the legislation as ”a good first step.” He said that to have initiated the Biggert Watters bill would have been “terribly damaging for our local economy.” But he cautioned that this issue will come up again and we will have to remain vigilant to make flood insurance more affordable and the policy sensible. Both Varnadoe and Reed commended U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, and Rep. Bill Johnson for their concern and cooperation in getting action on the bill that prevents excessive increases in flood insurance rates which, in turn, deters development. Johnson said that he has heard from many concerned residents and businesses across eastern and southeastern Ohio who have seen their flood insurance premiums skyrocket without warning. “This law is an important step forward in alleviating some of the burden that has been placed on hardworking Americans,” he said. In making the announcement of the signing by the president, Brown said the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act “ensures that Ohioans from Port Clinton to Pomeroy no longer face the uncertainty of steep increases in their flood insurance policies or the devastating effect of having their property value decrease because of inaccurate mapping.” He added that “Ohioans who live in or near flood plains should not be forced to pay exorbitant premiums to protect their piece of the American dream,” The new legislation is said to prevent skyrocketing rate increas- es, to prevent FEMA from raising the average rates for a class of properties above 15 percent, and from raising rates on individual policies above 18 percent per year for virtually all properties. It repeals the provision which required pre-FIRM property owners to pay the full-risk if they voluntarily purchase a new policy, and it reinstates “grandfathering” if it was terminated or mapped into a higher risk category, allows grandfathering to continue and sets caps on how high premiums can increase annually.

Eastern Local Junior Model United Nations team representing Sweden POMEROY — One person has been charged with theft from a local fire department. Pamela L. Newell, 46, of Tuppers Plains, is charged with one count of theft, a felony of the fourth degree. The indictment filed with the Meigs County Clerk of Courts states the value of the property is more than $7,500 but less than $150,000. The crime is alleged to have occurred between January 2011 and April 2013. The case was investigated by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of an accounting firm, according to Meigs County Prosecutor Colleen Williams. Newell has retained attorney Charles Knight as counsel for the case. A final pre-trial in the case is scheduled for 10 a.m. April 23, with a pre-trial settlement conference set for 11:30 a.m. May 21. A jury trial is scheduled for June 24. Newell is the second person charged in the last year with theft from a local fire department. David A. Acree, 45, of Racine, entered a guilty plea to one count of grand theft, a felony of the fourth degree, in December 2013. Acree pleaded guilty to the theft offense form the Middleport Fire Department. A document filed with the court indicates Acree has paid $14,299.77 in restitution to the Middleport Fire Department. He was indicted in July 2013 on a single-count indictment. According to the indictment, the crime occurred from October 2011 to April 2013. Acree was the treasurer for the fire department at the time. In a report provided by Maj. Scott Trussell to The Daily Sentinel, the investigation uncovered suspicious checks written by Acree from the first department account. The checks were in the amount of $9,540 to A&H Auto Parts on Oct. 23, 2011, and $7,900 to Napa on June 4, 2012. According to the report there is no documentation of purchases approved for the amounts through fire department meetings or records of purchases from Napa in those amounts. The investigation also found a check for $275 made out to Acree on July 27, 2010, and a $500 check to Napa Auto Parts on Sept. 7, 2012. In addition to the money from the four checks, the investigation also uncovered several finance charges and overdraft fees caused by the lack of funds in the fire department account and late payment on bills. Acree’s sentencing hearing was previously scheduled for Jan. 29. The hearing is now scheduled for 9:30 a.m. April 22. Editor’s Note: In the report, it states Acree owned the local Napa store and operated it under A&H Auto Parts. He is no longer the owner of the business Governor signs law on calamity day extension Eastern Local Junior Model United Nations team representing Belize COLUMBUS — Wednesday Gov. John R. Kasich signed the legislation passed by the Ohio House and Senate earlier this month allowing schools to count four additional days as calamity days for time missed due to the winter’s extreme weather. Now that House Bill 416 has been signed into law by Kasich, school districts can complete scheduling of days which remain to be made up this school year. The bill reads: “Am. Sub. HB 416 (Burkley, Hill) requires the Department of Education to waive up to four additional days a school is closed due to a public calamity (such as hazardous weather conditions) for the 2013-14 school year. This applies to a school district, STEM school, or chartered non-public school, as long as the district or school has invoked its contingency plan to make up five unwaived calamity days.

AP Photo In this courtroom sketch, from left, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith stands next to his attorney, Stanley Cohen, as courtroom deputy Andrew Mohan, reads the verdict and Judge Lewis Kaplan, right, listens Wednesday in federal court in New York. Abu Ghaith, Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law and the voice of fiery al-Qaida propaganda videotapes after the Sept. 11 attacks, was convicted Wednesday of conspiring to kill Americans for his role as the terror group’s spokesman. Feds praise verdict against bin Laden son-in-law NEW YORK (AP) — Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law was convicted Wednesday for his role as alQaida’s fiery chief spokesman after 9/11 — a verdict prosecutors said vindicated the Obama administration’s strategy of bringing terror suspects to justice in civilian court. A federal jury deliberated six hours over two days before finding 48-year-old Sulaiman Abu Ghaith guilty of charges that included conspiracy to kill Americans and providing support to al-Qaida. Abu Ghaith, a Kuwaiti-born imam who married bin Laden’s eldest daughter about five years ago, is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure brought to trial on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Prosecutors said he played a leading role in the terror organization’s post-9/11 propaganda videos, in which he and others gloated over the destruction and he warned of a “storm of airplanes” to follow. He could get life in prison at sentencing Sept. 8. In a statement, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said he hopes the verdict brings some comfort to alQaida victims. “He was more than just Osama bin Laden’s propaganda minister,” Bharara said. “Within hours after the devastating 9/11 attacks, Abu Ghaith was using his position in alQaida’s homicidal hierarchy to persuade others to pledge themselves to al-Qaida in the cause of murdering more Americans.” Abu Ghaith’s lawyers had argued that he was being prosecuted for his words and associations — not his deeds — and that there was no evidence tying him to any of the terror plots that prosecutors suggested he knew about ahead of time. Attorney General Eric Holder said the verdict was a success for the Obama administration’s policy of using the federal courts instead of military tribunals to handle terrorism cases. “It would be a good thing for the country if this case has the result of putting that political debate to rest,” Holder said. As the verdict was read, Abu Ghaith appeared composed. He smiled at a friend from Kuwait in the courtroom as he was led away. His attorney, Stanley Cohen, vowed to appeal, complaining that the judge had pressured the jury for a verdict and had barred the defense from calling self-described 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed as a witness. In a written statement, Mohammed had said Abu Ghaith had no military role in al-Qaida. Mohammed himself will be judged by a military tribunal at Guantanamo after plans to bring him to New York for trial were aborted because of political opposition. In the trial’s most dramatic testimony, Abu Ghaith described being summoned to a dark Afghanistan cave within hours of the destruction of the World Trade Center to confer with bin Laden, who told him: “We are the ones who did it.” Abu Gaith testified that a worried bin Laden asked him how America would respond. “America, if it was proven that you were the one who did this, will not settle until it accomplishes two things: to kill you and topple the state of the Taliban,” Abu Ghaith said he replied. Abu Ghaith said it was during that meeting that he agreed to a request from bin Laden to speak on the widely circulated videos that were used to recruit new followers willing to go on suicide missions like 9/11, in which 19 men hijacked four airliners. “The storm of airplanes will not stop,” Abu Ghaith warned in an October 2001 video played for the jury. The jury also saw frames of a video made the day after 9/11 that showed Abu Ghaith seated next to bin Laden and two other top al-Qaida leaders as they tried to justify the attacks. On the witness stand, the defendant calmly denied he was an al-Qaida recruiter and claimed his role was a religious one aimed at encouraging all Muslims to rise up against their oppressors. Prosecutors did not accuse him of any role in 9/11 or any direct knowledge of the plot ahead of time. But he testified that he had been told al-Qaida was about to do “something big.” Poll: The Ukraine crisis is hurting President Obama at home WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign policy used to stand out as a not-so-bleak spot in the public’s waning assessment of Barack Obama. Not anymore. He’s getting low marks for handling Russia’s swoop into Ukraine, and more Americans than ever disapprove of the way Obama is doing his job, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. Despite the poor performance reviews, Obama’s primary tactic so far — imposing economic sanctions on key Russians — has strong backing. Close to 9 out of 10 Americans support sanctions as a response to Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, the poll indicates. About half of that group says the U.S. sanctions so far are about right, while the other half wants to see them strengthened, the AP-GfK poll found. Most Democrats say the sanctions were OK, while a majority of Republicans find them too weak. “We’re supposed to be a country that helps smaller countries in need,” said Christopher Ashby, 29, a Republican in Albemarle, N.C., who wants a more powerful response. “Ukraine at this time is definitely in need.” Ashby, a stay-at-home dad caring for three young daughters, said, “When I look at Obama, I see my 5-year-old daughter looking at something that just happened and saying ‘What do I do?’” Overall disapproval of the job Obama is doing ticked up to 59 percent — a record high for his presidency — in the poll released Wednesday. That’s still well below the 72 percent disapproval rate that former President George W. Bush recorded in the AP-GfK poll in October 2008. Still, Obama’s 41 percent approval rating is a sobering number for fellow Democrats running in this fall’s House and Senate elections. Americans are now divided over which party they would rather see in control of Congress. Democrats held a slight edge over Republicans in the January APGfK poll. Obama gets lowest marks for his handling of the federal budget, immigration and the economy. Support for Obama’s education policies, which had been a strong point, dipped into negative territory this month, too. Republicans have long criticized the president as too weak in asserting American power abroad. Yet until now, foreign policy hasn’t been a drag on Obama’s second term: Americans were about as likely to endorse his ac- tions as to disapprove. Now he’s hit a new low on international relations — just 40 percent approval. Majorities say they dislike Obama’s handling of the Ukraine situation (57 percent) and his interactions with Russia (54 percent). Almost half of those polled say they support imposing tougher sanctions if Russia pushes into new regions or other countries; only 14 percent are opposed. That backs up threats from Obama and Western allies to target Russia’s economy with damaging sanctions if President Vladimir Putin goes further. About a third of those surveyed said they oppose giving monetary aid to nations targeted by Russia. Only about 20 percent approve of financial support, while the biggest share is neutral. This week Congress is considering $1 billion in loan guarantees for Ukraine sought by Obama. The idea of lending any type of military support to Ukraine is unpopular, the poll says. Obama has said there are no plans to use military force to dislodge Russia from the Crimean Peninsula. Richard Johnson, a politically independent retiree in Redmond, Wash., said the United States shouldn’t have gotten involved at all, especially since many Crimean residents favor Russia. “They’re protesting in both directions, right?” Johnson said. “So I just feel like we’ve got enough problems here at home, why are we looking for more trouble?” Johnson, pausing from wiring work on his do-it-yourself kitchen remodel, said he still supports Obama nevertheless. Award cal and other industries already are joining to benefit from increases in energy efficiency and manufacturing capacity; decreases in operational costs, emissions and water consumption; and other improvements. “With this Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) Collaborative Award to Ohio University and Washington University, CEProTECH joins the more than 60 NSF centers across the nation that partner with industry to fund students in the conduct of use-inspired fundamental research,” said Lawrence Hornak, program director of NSF’s directorate for engineering in the division of indus- trial innovation and partnerships. “The NSF looks forward to the growth of CEProTECH and the benefits realized to U.S. competitiveness in the sectors it serves achieved through this I/UCRC’s partnerships.” CEProTECH’s research will be founded on traditional electrochemical processes — used for the production of chlorine, hydrogen and aluminum and in products such as batteries and fuel cells — as well as processes that typically wouldn’t use electrochemical methods, such as water remediation, and advanced synthesis for manufacturing specialty gases, chemicals, materials such as graphene and products such as fertilizers. Ohio University teams will work on experimental techniques, process design and prototyping, while Washington University will focus on modeling. Joseph Shields, vice president for research and creative activity and dean of the Graduate College, called the launch of CEProTECH a major achievement. “This exemplifies Ohio University’s commitment to partnering with industry to address critical problems, and to train students who will be future leaders in technology innovation,” he said. This will be the second NSF I/UCRC for the Russ College. The first was the Institute for Corrosion and Multiphase Technology, which provides research for leading oil and gas companies worldwide. Established as an I/UCRC in 1993, its operating budget has grown to more than $3 million annually. Russ College Dean Dennis Irwin said the new center exemplifies the college’s goal to provide education and research focused on creating for good. “The award of a National Science Foundation I/UCRC is an indication of outside recognition, at the highest levels of peer review, of Dr. Botte and her colleagues’ innovative work applying electrochemical engineering principles to problems facing society today in the areas of renewable energy and environmentally responsible product development,” Irwin said. “The award will certainly place Ohio University, the Russ College, and the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering among the top research institutions in the area of electrochemical engineering,” he added. Because graduate and undergraduate students will perform research, CEProTECH will provide the next generation of engineers and technologists with a broad, industrial perspective while advancing the fundamentals of electrochemical science and engineering to facilitate cross-cutting process analysis and research.

According to the latest Shriver Report, “A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink,” a study by journalist Maria Shriver and the Washington think tank Center for American Progress, American women are at risk of “backsliding” from their achievements in rights and opportunities over the past half-century. The reason, the report says, is that policymakers have ignored a “seismic shift” in American family life: Three-quarters of all moms are in the U.S. labor force, which is now half women – and half of them are their families’ primary breadwinners. This is especially true for women of color. Yet like women around the world, U.S. women still aren’t equal in the workplace. Women earn less than men doing the same work, and mothers earn much less. Mothers face so much wage and hiring discrimination that many hide their children’s photos, while proud new dads often get raises. It’s no accident that fewer than 5 percent of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. The Shriver study features a bipartisan poll showing that a majority of Americans, especially African-American and Latina women, support new steps by employers and governments to adapt to this new family and workplace reality. They want government to address our society as it is now, rather than trying to return to an outdated model of stay-at-home moms in two-parent households. The good news is we already know just what tools will do the job. These tools are spelled out in the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women, a landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world. It outlines a comprehensive framework that can guide governments toward eliminating discrimination and bring any country closer to achieving gender equality. American women enjoy opportunities and status not available to most of the world’s women, but few would dispute that more progress is needed, as the Shriver report points out. Closing the pay gap and ending domestic violence and workplace discrimination should be priorities. We could start by providing paid family and sick leave. That alone would go a long way to stop the “backsliding” that American women are experiencing now. CEDAW imposes no changes in laws or policies on its own. Instead, it outlines a universal standard that every civilized nation should want to meet. Countries prepare a report for the CEDAW Committee on women’s situation every four years. The committee then makes non-binding recommendations on ways to improve, often drawing on practices that have been successful in other countries. Policymakers and activists often cite those recommendations in seeking new approaches to advancing women’s status. Last year, for example, the CEDAW Committee deplored women’s dire situation in Afghanistan and spotlighted continued threats to Pakistani education activist Malala Youfsani. CEDAW earlier called on Kuwait to grant women the right to vote, and it inspired programs to educate people about women’s rights in Brazil and Cameroon. Referencing CEDAW framework and norms, Mexico and Ghana have passed their own laws to reduce violence against women. The government of the Netherlands referred to CEDAW to address sex trafficking and support trafficking victims; Japan relied on CEDAW’s approaches to reduce workplace discrimination and sexual harassment. CEDAW ratification would put the United States in the company of 187 other signatory countries in assessing our remaining challenges and measuring our progress. It would strengthen the U.S. global voice in calling on other countries to respect women’s rights. It could also help structure a national dialogue between U.S. civil society and government on ways to address the gaps in women’s full equality that persist here today. And its comprehensive approach could help us all focus on what American women need right now to stop “backsliding.” The Shriver report is subtitled, “A woman’s nation pushes back from the brink.” We have in fact seen a seismic shift in women’s status over the past few years, a reverberation from the enormous progress over the past 50. Let’s take the next steps now to make progress once again, not only for women but for their families and our entire nation.

By Eugene Robinson We now have even more proof that our burgeoning intelligence agencies, which were given unprecedented latitude to wage war against terrorists, are dangerously out of control. Not that further evidence was needed: Months of stunning revelations about the National Security Agency’s massive domestic surveillance, thanks to fugitive whistleblower Edward Snowden, should have been more than enough. But recently, one of the intelligence community’s staunchest defenders in Congress took to the Senate floor to announce that even she has had it up to here. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who heads the Senate intelligence committee, trained her fury on the CIA, which has waged a five-year campaign of bureaucratic guerrilla warfare to keep the committee from doing a crucial job: fully investigating the torture, secret detention and other appalling excesses committed under George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Feinstein accused the CIA of improperly searching computers that intelligence committee staff members were using to review CIA documents about “enhanced interrogation techniques” such as waterboarding - in plain language, torture. “The CIA just went and searched the committee’s computers,” Feinstein said. “I have grave concerns that the CIA’s search may well have violated the separation-of-powers Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. principle embodied in the United States Constitution.” She said she believed the agency might also have violated the Fourth Amendment, a federal law and a presidential executive order. This is not just a bunch of rhetoric. It’s a very big deal. In our democracy, we have a right to know what our government is doing in our name. Agencies whose mandate is to operate in the shadows, such as the CIA and the NSA, obviously cannot announce or even acknowledge most of their actions. The only way we can be assured that the spooks are not running amok is through civilian oversight by our elected officials: the president and members of Congress. Feinstein’s committee properly decided that the torture and harsh detention had been egregious enough to warrant “an expansive and full review.” The CIA had already destroyed the only video recordings of its waterboarding sessions, but there were “literally millions of pages” of cables, emails, memos and other documents that the committee wanted to examine, Feinstein said. The CIA’s current director, John Brennan, flatly denied that the agency did anything improper. In an earlier letter to Feinstein, he alleged that it was the committee’s investigators who acted improperly by somehow obtaining a file that the agency never intended to surrender — a kind of detailed index, intended for internal CIA use, highlighting documents that cast the agency in a particularly bad light. Don’t get lost in the “hesaid, she-said” minutiae. Step back and take a wider view. A committee of the U.S. Senate, working on your behalf and mine, has been trying for five years to perform its duty of civilian oversight of the intelligence agencies. Despite the CIA’s best efforts, the committee has put together a 6,000- page draft report - but the CIA is fighting its release tooth and nail. The top-secret document that the CIA seems most determined to hide is not some dossier on alQaeda, but an index of the agency’s own excesses and failures. Now take another step back. Look at how the CIA’s role has expanded to include what most of us would consider military operations, including flying and firing armed drones. Look at the breathtaking revelations about the NSA’s collection of phone call data. Look at how the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in a series of secret rulings, has stretched the Fourth Amendment and the Patriot Act beyond all recognition. We should want the CIA to be capable of ruthlessness when necessary. We should want the NSA to be overly ambitious rather than overly modest. But then it is our duty, as custodians of this democracy, to haul the spooks back into line when they go too far. Like I said, this is a very big deal.

AP Photo This combination of images provided by the Carnegie Institution for Science shows a new solar system object dubbed 2012 VP113, indicated by the yellow arrow, that was observed November 2012 through a telescope in Chile. New research published in the journal Nature reveals it’s the second object to be discovered in the far reaches of the solar system far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Newfound pink world lurks at solar system fringes LOS ANGELES (AP) — Peering into the far reaches of the solar system, astronomers have spied a pink frozen world 7½ billion miles from the sun. It’s the second such object to be discovered in a region of space beyond Pluto long considered a celestial wasteland. Until now, the lone known resident in this part of the solar system was an oddball dwarf planet spotted in 2003 named Sedna after the mythological Inuit goddess who created the sea creatures of the Arctic. The latest discovery shows “Sedna is not a freak. We can have confidence that there is a new population to explore,” Yale University senior research scientist David Rabinowitz said in an email. He was one of Sedna’s discoverers, but had no role in the new find detailed in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. For years, astronomers hunted in vain for other Sednas in the little-studied fringes of the solar system. The new object, 2012 VP113, Death Notice FIELDS CAMERON PARK, Calif. — U.S. Air Force veteran Eugene “Gene” Fields, 73, of Cameron Park, Calif., and formerly of Hartford, W.Va., died Sunday, March 9, 2014, following a long illness. Services were Wednesday, March 19, 2014, at Green Valley Funeral Home in Cameron Park.

But this one is beginning to make it look like that might be a typical place for objects to be. Not at all what I would have guessed,” Mike Brown, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology, said in an email. Brown, self-proclaimed “Pluto killer,” led the Sedna team, but was not part of the new discovery. Far from being deserted, Sheppard and Trujillo estimate there are probably thousands of similar objects in the inner Oort cloud. “These objects are not unique. There’s a huge number out there,” Sheppard said. Not all of them will be visible to telescopes because they’re so far away and it takes a long time for them to swing by the sun. Sedna and VP were spotted at their closest approach to the sun, which allowed light from the sun to hit the objects and bounce back to observatories on Earth. was tracked using a new camera on a ground telescope in Chile by Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., and Chad Trujillo of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii. Trujillo was part of the team that found Sedna. Like Sedna, VP is also a dwarf planet. It’s jokingly nicknamed “Biden” after Vice President Joe Biden because of the object’s initials. It measures about 280 miles across, or half the diameter of Sedna. It’s bone-chilling cold with a temperature of around minus 430 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike red and shiny Sedna, the newfound object is more pink and much fainter, which made it hard to detect. By contrast, Earth is about 7,900 miles across and located 93 million miles from the sun. Sedna and VP reside in what’s known as the inner Oort cloud in the outer edge of the solar system where some comets such as the sun-diving Comet ISON are thought to originate. ISON broke Autism may be tied to flawed prenatal brain growth By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press A small study that examined brains from children who died found abnormal patterns of cell growth in autistic children. The research bolsters evidence that something before birth might cause autism, at least in some cases. Clusters of disorganized brain cells were discovered in tissue samples from brain regions important for regulating social functioning, emotions and communication — which can all be troublesome for children with autism. The abnormalities were found in 10 of 11 children with autism, but in only one of 11 children without the disease. The children’s brains were donated to science after death; causes of death included drowning, accidents, asthma and heart problems. The authors said the clusters, detected with sophisticated lab tests, are likely defects that occurred during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy. “Because this points to the biological onset in prenatal life, it calls sharply into question other popular notions about autism,” including the scientifically debunked theory that childhood vaccines might be involved, said lead author Eric Courchesne, an autism researcher at the University of California, San Diego.

Game two of the twinbill was postponed as a result of a heavy snow squall which settled over the stadium shortly after the conclusion of the opening game. Rio Grande, which won for the third straight time after losing five consecutive outings, upped its overall record to 13-17. OU-Chillicothe dropped to 1-10 with the loss.

MLB 2014: West teams chase low-budget Athletics By Janie McCauley Associated Press The big-spending AL West also-rans of recent years once more find themselves chasing those overachieving, low-budget Oakland Athletics. Yet Bob Melvin’s A’s hardly consider themselves the favorite to win a third straight West crown, not in one of baseball’s best divisions that appears to have gotten even better this offseason. “Obviously they won the last two years, so they’re the team to chase,” Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre said. “There are probably teams that probably don’t take them seriously, but we do. They showed that they can get it done and as of right now, they’re the champions of the West. So it’s obviously that we’re chasing them now.” While New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter tries to finish his Hall of Fame career in pinstripes the way he started it, with a World Series title, and the Detroit Tigers aim to unseat the defendingchampion Boston Red Sox, the West looks to be one of baseball’s top divisions again in 2014. “I think you can make a legitimate case that all five teams are better,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. “You’ve got the Yankees and Dodgers and a number of clubs that made a lot of moves out there, Washington and others, but from a division-todivision standpoint, I don’t know that any group was more active than the AL West.” Robinson Cano is the new star in Seattle — for the next decade, no less. Prince Fielder takes over in the middle of the Texas lineup after his trade from the Tigers. Sluggers Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols have something to prove for the playoff-starved Los Angeles Angels, who are feeling the pressure after missing the postseason the past four years. Sure, the A’s have made their share of moves this winter — many via trade as general manager Billy Beane often does. But Oakland’s changes are minor comparable to the acquisitions of Cano and Fielder. “I think we’re still trying to prove people wrong,” A’s center fielder Coco Crisp said. Here’s a look at the American League by division, in predicted order of finish: WEST TEXAS RANGERS Texas traded for Fielder, added Shin-Soo Choo for $130 million over seven years and is determined to bounce back from last fall’s early exit with Yu Darvish as its ace. Ron Washington’s Rangers (91-72) lost the AL wild-card tiebreaker to Tampa Bay and hope for a World Series return this year after runner-up finishes in 2010 and ‘11. OAKLAND ATHLETICS The A’s lost projected ace Jarrod Parker to a season-ending elbow injury that requires surgery, leaving another void to fill for a team that has done so well in recent years. While pitching depth has long been a focus for the organization, that will be tested early without Parker and also A.J. Grififn. See TEAMS | 10 College athletes can unionize, federal agency says CHICAGO (AP) — In a stunning ruling that could revolutionize college sports, a federal agency said Wednesday that football players at Northwestern University can create the nation’s first union of college athletes. The decision by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board means it agrees football players at the Big Ten school qualify as employees under federal law and therefore can legally unionize. “Based on the entire record in this case, I find that the Employer’s football players who receive scholarships fall squarely within (federal labor law’s) broad definition of ‘employee,” Peter Sung Ohr, the NLRB regional director, said in his 24-page decision. An employee is generally regarded by law as someone who receives compensation for a service and is under the direct control of managers. Players argued that their scholarships are compensation and coaches are their managers. The Evanston, Ill-based university argued college athletes, as students, don’t fit in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers and other unionized workers. Immediately after the ruling, the school announced it plans to appeal to labor authorities in Washington, D.C. Alan Cubbage, Northwestern’s vice president for university relations, said in a statement that while the school respects “the NLRB process and the regional director’s opinion, we disagree with it.” The specific goals of the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, which would take the lead in organizing the players, include guaranteeing coverage of sports-related medical expenses for current and former players, ensuring better procedures to reduce head inju- ries and potentially letting players pursue commercial sponsorships. But critics have argued that giving college athletes employee status and allowing them to unionize could hurt college sports in numerous ways, including by raising the prospects of strikes by disgruntled players or lockouts by athletic departments. For now, the push is to unionize athletes at private schools, such as Northwestern, because the federal labor agency does not have jurisdiction over public universities.

Pre-employment drug testing, Equal Opportunity Employer, EDUCATION �Page 8 The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, March 27, 2014 MAC and UMass football to part ways after 2015 By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press The Mid-American Conference and Massachusetts football will part ways after the 2015 season. The MAC invoked a clause in its contract with UMass, triggered when Temple left the league in 2012, that gave the school a choice between full membership and exiting the conference in two years. UMass chose to end the relationship with the MAC and remain a member of the Atlantic 10 in most sports. “What I think it speaks to is the belief that we have a very stable conference,” MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “We have enjoyed our relationship with UMass, but we’re at a point that we felt everybody should be all in.” The MAC has no plans to replace UMass or add members. UMass made the move up from FCS to FBS in 2012 and immediately joined the MAC. UMass has gone 2-22 in its two seasons as an FBS program, 2-14 in the MAC. The Minutemen have been playing home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., about 90 miles away from their Amherst, Mass., campus. The school is renovating its on-campus stadium, and the football team will play part of its home schedule there this season. “We remain committed to FBS football,” UMass athletic director John McCutcheon said in a statement. “Many institutions have successfully navigated this challenging period of conference realignment and we will do the same.” UMass is already on its second football coach since joining FBS, firing Charley Molnar after last season and replacing him with Mark Whipple. “I was aware of this possibility when I accepted the position of head coach, and I believe this move is in the university’s best interest,” Whipple said in a statement. “My focus is on building a program that we all can be proud of and that provides a great experience for our student athletes.” UMass has 21 varsity teams; 18 play in the Atlantic 10. UMass men’s hockey competes in Hockey East, and men’s lacrosse is in the Colonial Athletic Conference. When the MAC added UMass, it had a similar football-only relationship with Temple. Adding UMass gave the MAC a 14th football member, and another Eastern school. With FBS in the throes of major conference realignment, MAC officials anticipated possible instability and tied UMass’ football-only membership to Temple’s. If the Owls left for another conference, the MAC could require UMass to join as a full member or leave. Temple left to rejoin the Big East before UMass ever played a game in the MAC. Steinbrecher said discussions about invoking the Temple clause with UMass started in October, and the league’s presidents voted to do so in February. “This was really not a circumstance or situation we wanted to occur,” Steinbrecher said. McCutcheon said that because most MAC members are in the Midwest, the conference is not a good fit for the rest of the school’s teams. The additional travel would strain UMass’ athletic budget and create time management challenges for athletes’ academics, he said. “We are confident that, within the next two years, we will find a more suitable conference for our FBS football program,” he said. Hendrick ranks California as one of toughest defeats Kyle Robertson | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde (34) carries the ball up field against Michigan State in the second half at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011. Michigan State pulled out a 10-7 win. Buckeyes seek replacement for RB Carlos Hyde COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It’ll be difficult for Ohio State to replace Carlos Hyde. All the senior did a year ago for the Buckeyes was rush for 1,521 yards and 15 touchdowns in just 11 games, becoming the first running back to top 1,000 yards in Urban Meyer’s 12 years as a head coach. Although it might be hard finding someone to fill his spot, that doesn’t mean it won’t get done. “Someone has to step up and fill the shoes of Carlos Hyde,” running backs coach Stan Drayton said after a recent spring practice. “If it takes more than one guy to do that, I promise you it’s going to get done.” There are several candidates in Ohio State’s spring camp. Eze- kiel Elliott, the leading returning rusher at running back with 262 yards on only 30 carries, would seem to have the inside track. “I just think that I’m a very versatile back, I can do a lot of things,” said the sophomore, a prized recruit from St. Louis. “I can run to the outside, I can run a tight zone, I’m a great pass catcher out of the back field. I think I just bring a little versatility to the table.” Elliott says he’s bulked up, gotten stronger and faster and knows the playbook far better than he did a year ago. But there are still moments when he looks and acts like the youngster he is. “Which is unfortunate,” said offensive coordinator Tom Herman. The other three possibilities in spring camp all have some baggage. Rod Smith, a prototypical Ohio State big back at 6-foot-3 and 232 pounds, is a fifth-year senior who has had chances to play more but has never really grasped them. He did well at the outset of last year while Hyde was serving a threegame team suspension for a physical confrontation with a woman at a bar. But after Hyde became available, he seldom saw the field. He has some skills to display this spring. “Just that I can do everything that Carlos did: Break tackles, make the home-run plays, pass protection,” he said. “At the end of the day, be accountable, be a leader.” CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — It was a long cross-country flight home for Rick Hendrick after the team owner watched victory slip away for two of his drivers at Auto Club Speedway. Jimmie Johnson was leading in the closing laps until a tire failure sent him to pit road and cost him his first win of the season. His misfortune appeared to be Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon’s gain, though, as Gordon inherited the lead from Johnson. But as Gordon cruised toward the finish line, a spin by Clint Bowyer with two laps remaining jumbled everything. Gordon restarted in traffic, had trouble on the restart, and finished 13th. Johnson was 24th after leading a race-high 104 laps. “It’s hard. Those are really hard,” Hendrick said. “That was a rough ride home Sunday night, probably as disappointed as I’ve ever been to have two cars so good and come away with nothing.” Hendrick said he’d only felt worse once before, following the 2012 spring race at Martinsville, when both Johnson and Gordon were wrecked on a restart while lined up side-by-side set to race each other for the win. The two had dominated the race and were both vying to be the driver to give Hendrick Motorsports its 200th victory. On hand that day were the widows of Hendrick’s brother and a DuPont executive, who were at the track for the first time since 10 people were killed when a Hendrick plane crashed en route to Martinsville. “The only race that I can remember that was as bad as (California) was Martinsville when the restart, we got both of them taken out,” Hendrick said. “There was just no way we were going to lose that race, and we did.” By the time he landed in Charlotte late Sunday, Hendrick said he was already thinking about the next race, which is Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Johnson and Gordon lead the series among active drivers with eight wins each at Martinsville, and Gordon won there in October. Although both drivers are still seeking their first win of the year, Hendrick feels both will rebound from the disappointment of Fontana on Sunday. “I can handle if you are fast and your cars are really strong and you are not searching for speed, you can kind of come back and write it off and say ‘That’s racin,’ ” Hendrick said. “But if you are coming home and you are running 15th and you don’t know how to get in the top 10, then those are tough days.

By Dave Green �Page 10 The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Thursday, March 27, 2014 Rio Bradley From Page 6 The Hilltoppers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Rio sophomore starter Kirk Yates (Chillicothe, OH) when Mike Hamilton led off with a triple to right-center and scored on a single to right by Jared Farmer, but the RedStorm finally came off the mat to grab the lead in the top of the fourth. Senior Marcus Makuch (Baltimore, OH) led off with a double to right-center - Rio’s first hit of the game against OU-C starter C.J. Knight - and junior Kyle Findley (Cincinnati, OH) drew a walk before sophomore Chris Ford (Athens, OH) was hit by a pitch to load the bases with two outs. Freshman Carlos Flores (Guayanilla, Puerto Rico) then delivered a single to center which plated Makuch and Findley and gave the RedStorm a 2-1 lead. OU-Chillicothe rebounded to tie the game in the home fourth when Hamilton drew a one-out walk and scored on a triple to center by Farmer, but the RedStorm took the lead for good with single markers in both the fifth and sixth innings. Junior Kevin Arroyo (Toa Baja, Puerto Rico) reached on a two-base throwing error to begin the inning, moved to third on a bunt single by junior Grant Tamane (Pickering, Ontario, Canada) and scored on a wild pitch by OU-C reliever Adam Woods, who came on to record the final out in Rio’s two-run fourth inning rally. In the sixth, sophomore Jonathan Schob (Decatur, OH) led off with a single to right and was lifted in favor of junior pinch-runner Luke Taylor (Pedro, OH), who moved to third on a pair of groundouts and scored on Woods’ second wild pitch of the game. Freshman Trent Downs (Kingston, OH) kept OU-C at bay by retiring six of the seven batters he faced over the next two innings in relief of Yates, but the Hilltoppers managed to make things interesting in the seventh and final inning against senior reliever Mike Deitsch (Cincinnati, OH). Deitsch retired the first two batters he faced in routine fashion, but consecutive singles by Hunter Young, Austin Williams and Ryan O’Leary made it 4-3 and put the would-be tying and winning runs in scoring position. Ryan Houser was intentionally walked to set up a force at any base before Hamilton routinely flied to right to end the game. Yates earned his second win in three decisions for Rio, while Deitsch was credited with his first save. Young and Farmer had two hits each for OU-Chillicothe, while Woods suffered the loss. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Friday when St. Catharine College visits Bob Evans Field for the opening game of a three-game Mid-South Conference weekend series. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

LOS ANGELES ANGELS The pressure is on for manager Mike Scioscia, Hamilton and Pujols after a fourth straight season out of the playoffs, and Mike Trout can’t do it all. Pujols was sidelined from July 26 on and batted .258 with 17 homers and 64 RBIs in 99 games. This team’s pitching must be far better, period, not to mention stay healthy. Scioscia and general manager Jerry Dipoto survived for one more chance from owner Arte Moreno following the club’s worst season in a decade at 7884 — its lowest win total since 2003 despite the high-profile, expensive roster. “We’re much better when our focus is in house,” Scioscia said. “We have a terrific club and we have the makings of a championship team. No matter who you’re playing, you’re going to face a tough opponent. There are a lot of talented teams, not only in our division but in our league.” SEATTLE MARINERS It’s the Cano show at Safeco Field but Seattle’s new $240 million man is going to need help to give manager Lloyd McClendon — Jim Leyland’s hitting coach in Detroit the last seven years — a successful first season in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle will need steady production from the starting pitchers after Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma — who is recovering from a finger injury on hit pitching hand. McClendon knows the A’s are the team to beat. “When I was with Detroit, we battled them every year in the playoffs,” he said. “I don’t take them lightly. This is a great division. There’s a lot of talented teams in this divi- sion, including the Seattle Mariners.” HOUSTON ASTROS Manager Bo Porter welcomes the addition of new center fielder and leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler as the Astros begin their second season in the AL West trying to fight from the bottom of one of baseball’s best divisions a year after losing a franchise-worst 111 games. Houston has spent the spring trying to find the right combination for the rotation. CENTRAL DETROIT TIGERS The Tigers have reached the AL championship series three straight years, but a World Series title has remained elusive since 1984. New manager Brad Ausmus takes over a team that made a couple significant changes in the offseason, trading Fielder and righthander Doug Fister. Even without Fister, Detroit may have the AL’s best rotation — assuming ace Justin Verlander comes back strong after having core muscle surgery in January. Miguel Cabrera hopes to be healthier than last year, when he was hobbled down the stretch but still won MVP honors for the second straight year. Max Scherzer gave Detroit two major award winners by winning the Cy Young. KANSAS CITY ROYALS Kansas City’s big move before last season — trading eventual Rookie of the Year Wil Myers for James Shields — did not help the Royals reach the playoffs, but their 86-76 record was their best since 1989. The Royals acquired outfielder Norichika Aoki and second baseman Omar Infante this offseason, but Ervin Santana’s departure could be costly. Kansas City signed left-hander Jason Vargas (career ERA of 4.30) in November. CLEVELAND INDIANS Cleveland rolled to 92 wins in 2013 in its first season under manager Terry Francona. The Indians made the playoffs for the first time since 2007 and finished only a game behind Detroit in the division. The pitching will likely determine whether Cleveland makes a return appearance in the postseason. Ubaldo Jimenez left via free agency, and John Axford replaces closer Chris Perez. CHICAGO WHITE SOX Even a brilliant season by left-hander Chris Sale wasn’t enough to prevent 99 losses for the White Sox. Jose Abreu and Adam Eaton were brought in to boost the offense, and Adam Dunn is still around as a home run threat. Chicago won 85 games in 2012 and nearly took the division, so the White Sox probably aren’t as bad as last year’s record suggests. But they have a lot of ground to make up if they want to contend again. MINNESOTA TWINS Once the AL Central’s model franchise, the Twins have lost at least 96 games for three straight seasons. Joe Mauer’s move to first base could keep his bat in the lineup more often, but the starting rotation has been unreliable for a while. Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes signed as free agents in Minnesota’s latest attempt to improve its pitching staff. EAST BOSTON RED SOX The reigning World Series champion Red Sox will try to capture the magic again, minus many of those bushy beards this time. The pitching staff is led by a large group of experienced players such as Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, Felix Doubront and Jake Peavy. Boston lost Jacoby Ellsbury to the rival Yankees in free agency and must find its best fit in center field to replace him, and manager John Farrell has several options. Grady Sizemore would like to be the choice, hoping to stay healthy and play a full season to help complement slugger David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia. NEW YORK YANKEES Last year was closer Mariano Rivera’s emotional farewell tour, but it ended without a playoff berth. Now, it’s Derek Jeter’s turn — and there’s no Alex Rodriguez around to provide a distraction as the longtime captain looks for one last memorable October run. Rodriguez, a three-time AL MVP and baseball’s highest-paid player, was suspended for 211 games on Aug. 5 for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract. An arbitrator in January cut the penalty to the 2014 season and postseason. Joining Ellsbury — he got a $153 million, sevenyear contract — in the Bronx are fellow newcomers catcher Brian McCann, outfielder Carlos Beltran, and Japanese pitching star Masahiro Tanaka. Tanaka signed a $155 million, seven-year contract in January. He was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year while leading Rakuten to its first Japan Series title. TAMPA BAY RAYS The Rays kept much of their 2013 roster together to make another run — including three-time All-Star and ace David Price. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner received a $14 million, one-year deal. First baseman James Loney received a new $21 million, three-year contract, while new closer Grant Balfour signed for $12 million over two years. Evan Longoria hit .269 with 32 homers and 88 RBIs in a career-best 160 games last season, his first of a $100 million, 10-year contract. BALTIMORE ORIOLES Buck Showalter can’t count on Chris Davis to duplicate his sensational season in which he hit a majors-leading 53 home runs and 138 RBIs, but Baltimore’s manager will sure take something close to that kind of production. The Orioles hope the addition of Nelson Cruz on a $8 million, one-year contract will provide a boost in the lineup — and Cruz is eager for a fresh start following his 50-game suspension last year as part of the Biogenesis case. TORONTO BLUE JAYS The Blue Jays need slugger Jose Bautista to stay healthy after he was sidelined to end the season for the second straight year. Bautista and Melky Cabrera are out to show they can be keys to a potent lineup, and Bautista hopes to return to the form of his 2010 season when he hit a club-record 54 home runs. Also looking for a big rebound season: knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner who went 14-13 with a 4.21 ERA last year on the heels of his 20-win season for the Mets. Athletes From Page 6 60491414 Outgoing Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter took a leading role in establishing CAPA. The United Steelworkers union has been footing the legal bills. Colter, whose eligibility has been exhausted and who has entered the NFL draft, said nearly all of the 85 scholarship players on the Wildcats roster backed the union bid, though only he expressed his support publicly. CAPA attorneys argued that college football is, for all practical purposes, a commercial enterprise that relies on players’ labor to generate billions of dollars in profits. That, they contend, makes the relationship of schools to players one of employers to employees. In its endeavor to have college football players be recognized as essential workers, CAPA likened scholarships to employment pay — too little pay from its point of view. Northwestern balked at that claim, describing scholarship as grants. The NCAA has been under increasing scrutiny over its amateurism rules and is fighting a class-action federal lawsuit by former players seeking a cut of the billions of dollars earned from live broadcasts, memorabilia sales and video games. Other lawsuits allege the NCAA failed to protect players from debilitating head injuries. NCAA President Mark Emmert has pushed for a $2,000-per-player stipend to help athletes defray some of expenses. Critics say that isn’t nearly enough, considering players help bring in millions of dollars to their schools and conferences. During the NLRB’s five days of hearings in February, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald took the stand for union opponents, and his testimony sometimes was at odds with Colter’s. Colter told the hearing that players’ performance on the field was more important to Northwestern than their in-class performance, saying, “You fulfill the football requirement and, if you can, you fit in academics.” Asked why Northwestern gave him a scholarship of $75,000 a year, he responded: “To play football. To perform an athletic service.” But Fitzgerald said he tells players academics come first, saying, “We want them to be the best they can be … to be a champion in life.” An attorney representing the university, Alex Barbour, noted Northwestern has one of the highest graduation rates for college football players in the nation, around 97 percent. Barbour insisted, “Northwestern is not a football factory.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
