Held at the Racine Baptist Church Outreach Building, Simpkins was one of many speakers who discussed the issues of drugs and underage drinking in our local communities, and how those struggling with addiction can seek help. Dr. Doug Hunter, Meigs Coun- ty Coroner and physician, spoke at the meeting and discussed how his job works when it comes to identifying drug use. When a person passes away, Hunter must determine the cause of death, which could be a number of things. He said there were five different classifications when it came to determining the cause of death, and those were natural causes, homicide, suicide, accidental, and unknown. If drugs or alcohol are suspected to have been a cause, prior to sending the deceased for an autopsy, Hunter investigates the cause of death by inspecting the circumstances and environment of the deceased. He went on to say that if drugs were involved, it is often reflected in the condition of the person’s house and their belongings. He described a few instances where a person has overdosed, and simply looked like they had just fallen asleep. “A lot of these people just aren’t thinking,” Hunter said. Since Hunter is also a physician, he also discussed how he is sometimes uneasy when it comes to writing prescriptions. He added that when people are addicted to drugs, it not only affects themselves, but all the people around them. He stated that addicts will steal from anyone they know in order to get their fix, because the drugs are that powerful. “No one plans on becoming a drug addict,” Hunter said. He encouraged parents to talk to their children about drugs and alcohol, and added that kids as See PRAYER |‌ 5 Nathan Jeffers/photo Pictured are members of the Sanctify Drama Team, performing at the Prayer Task Force’s town hall meeting on Thursday evening.

Anthony, II, has been unexpectedly continued until May 21. The sentencing hearing which began Monday morning was continued after, apparently upon the advice of his attorney, Anthony failed to provide the court with a written apology to residents and office holders in Mason County which he agreed to in his plea bargain. Anthony’s Attorney David Moye took responsibility for the apology not being available in writing Monday morning, saying he had advised Anthony to verbally go on the record with the apology during the court proceedings on Monday, as opposed to writing the apology. Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Damon Morgan said he felt Anthony’s failure to produce the written apology reflected his attitude about the proceedings. Moye apologized again and said “I take that responsibil- ity” for not having the written apology, again reiterating he’d told his client he could stand before the court and verbally make the apology. Moye also said his client was prepared to submit the apology in writing and in the record if granted a recess. Circuit Court Judge the Honorable David Nibert reminded Moye and Anthony they had both signed off on the plea agreement which specifically states the written apology. In his plea agreement, Anthony pleaded guilty to the misdemeanors of brandishing a weapon and shooting near a dwelling, as well as no contest to misdemeanor counts of fraudulent scheme and embezzlement — the fraudulent scheme and embezzlement charges were in relation to questionable purchases on a county credit card. In exchange for his pleas to the four counts, the remaining counts contained in a 42-count grand jury indictment were to be dismissed. In addition, Anthony was to relinquish his law enforcement certification to the state of West Virginia, resign from office, withdrawal from (Beth Sergent/photo) Former Mason County Sheriff David L. Anthony (far left) is pictured entering into a plea agreement in March. He was to be sentenced on Monday though that didn’t happen. Also pictured Anthony’s Attorney David Moye and Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Damon Morgan. seeking reelection in the May primary and not seek any other elected office in the future, and write the apology to the citizens and officer holders. In relation to the apology to office holders, Anthony was to apologize for alleging others in county government misused county credit cards. After consideration of Moye’s request, Nibert continued the sentencing to 9:30 a.m., May 21. The brandishing charge has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and maximum fine of $1,000. The shooting near a dwelling charge has a maximum sentence of 100 days in jail and $300 fine. The fraudulent scheme misdemeanor has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and $2,500 fine. The misdemeanor embezzlement charge has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and $2,500 fine. In relation to Anthony’s questionable charges on a county credit card, he has already paid back these charges in the amount of $2,435.

Being the job interviewer worries him Dear Dr. Brothers: I am a manager in a great company that has decided to hire people through human resources instead of the departments. I’ve been asked to select and interview candidates for three jobs, and I can’t turn down this assignment. I’m really worried about it, since I’ve never done anything on this side of the desk before. I feel so much pressure to represent my company and give a good impression. I’m really afraid of messing up. — J.C. Dear J.C.: Whoa, take a deep breath. It might help you to realize that the people you bring in to interview will be quaking in their shoes and will be much more focused on how they can make a good impression than on how you appear to them. After the first couple of interviews, you probably will find that you are gaining confidence. And even if you feel your performance was lacking, you can always call a candidate back for a subsequent interview to cover your tracks. Be prepared — that’s crucial. Make sure you can answer questions about the company, and if you don’t know all put this: My the answers, husband is a handouts of the slacker! I’ve alannual report ways known may help.

So that’s don’t know how else to a good thing, although it also tells me that perhaps he’s being a bit passiveaggressive in dealing with the demands of being a husband who’s expected to pull his weight after work. If this has been a point of disagreement for a while, you’re probably both fed up with accusations, nagging and however else you’ve tried to change his ways. Your husband’s treatment of the dog and cats is a red flag. It’s one thing not to put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and quite another to neglect the pets’ safety and comfort. He really needs a wake-up call, and you’ll have to decide whether he can be trusted with the animals or if you have to take over that job completely. The rest is negotiable — you even might use a job chart and give him something special when he does his work. He may be willing to try harder if you back off a bit with the pressure and criticism and give some small rewards, almost like you would a child. In the meantime, speaking of kids, better not plan on having any till he shows signs of growing up! (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate For the Record p.m., unknown, difficulty breathing.

EMA offering disaster vounteer assistant training JACKSON — The Jackson County Emergency Management Agency is serving as the host for the five-county region (Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs and Vinton) Volunteer Reception Center Training on Wednesday May 16, at the OSU Extension Center, 17 Standpipe Road, Jackson, Ohio 45640. This day-long training 9 a.m. to 4 p.m,. will teach participants how to set up and operate a VRC during emergencies or disasters. Previous completion of a CERT class is helpful but not required. There is no charge for the class. When disaster strikes, many people want to help. Their generous response can sometimes actually hamper emergency responders from doing their jobs. What is needed is a way to deal with these potential helpers at a location away from the site of the emergency. A Volunteer Reception Center can be set up to act as a clearing house to match volunteer skills with what needs to be done in the current disaster. The May 16 training will cover setting up the physical site, as well as carrying out the steps to place both medical and nonmedical volunteers where they are needed most. Gallia County has the equipment needed to set up a VRC, but needs trained volunteers ready to set up and operate the VRC in a declared emergency. The class is open to anyone in the five-county area 18 years and older. FBI: 5 men arrested, wanted to blow up Ohio bridge CLEVELAND (AP) — Five men, at least three of them anarchists, plotted to blow up a bridge near Cleveland and were nabbed because they were working with a man who was actually an FBI informant, law enforcement officials said Tuesday in announcing the men’s arrests. The target of the plot was a bridge that carries a state highway over part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the Brecksville area, about 15 miles south of downtown Cleveland, the FBI said. The men planted what they believed to be explosives at the base of the bridge, armed them, went to a remote spot and “entered the codes that they thought would blow up the bridge with innocent people traveling over it,” U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said. There actually was no danger to the public because the explosives were inert and had been sold to the men by an undercover FBI employee, officials said. Authorities said three of the men were arrested Monday and are self-described anarchists, not tied to international terrorism. Occupy Cleveland media coordinator Jacob Wagner said at least some of the suspects had attended the group’s events but that they weren’t affiliated with or representing the group. All of the suspects, ranging in age from 20 to 35, were expected to appear in federal court Tuesday afternoon. It wasn’t immediately clear if they had attorneys. The FBI said three were arrested on charges of conspiracy and trying to use explosives to damage property affecting interstate commerce. They were identified as Brandon L. Baxter, 20; Douglas L. Wright, 26; and Anthony Hayne, 35. Baxter is from Lakewood, Ohio, and Wright said he was from the Bloomington, Ind., area, according to an FBI affidavit. Hayne’s hometown wasn’t provided. The other two men were being charged Tuesday. The affidavit filed in court indicated that federal authorities got help from a paid confidential source who had previous robbery and other convictions and was on probation for passing bad checks. It said the informant began making contact with the suspects in October and had recorded conversations with them over the past three months. Baxter, Wright and Hayne considered different plots over time, including distracting law enforcement with smoke grenades while trying to bring down financial institution signs in downtown Cleveland. The men also discussed other potential targets, including a law enforcement center, oil wells, a cargo ship or the opening of a new downtown casino, according to the affidavit. The document also alleges that one suspect talked about being part of group planning to cause trouble during an upcoming NATO summit in Chicago. The group finally settled on blowing up the bridge, federal authorities alleged. “The individuals charged in this plot were intent on using violence to express their ideological views,” Special Agent Stephen D. Anthony, who oversees the FBI’s Cleveland division, said in a statement. “The Joint Terrorism Task Force will continue to be vigilant in its efforts to detect and disrupt any terrorism threat, domestic or international.” Some Occupy Cleveland members know the suspects, but the protest group had no knowledge of the alleged plan and would denounce any such violence, Wagner said. “Occupy Cleveland has, from the very start, espoused peaceful, nonviolent, direct action,” Wagner said. “These alleged actions taken by these people were completely autonomous.” He said the group was gathering more information and isn’t commenting further. The announcement of the arrests came as Occupy demonstrators joined Tuesday protests marking International Workers Day, or May Day. One year on from OBL raid, no answers from Pakistan ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan (AP) — One year since U.S. commandos flew into this Pakistani army town and killed Osama bin Laden, Islamabad has failed to answer tough questions over whether its security forces were protecting the world’s most wanted terrorist. Partly as a result, fallout from the raid still poisons relations between Washington and Pakistan, where anti-American sentiment, support for Islamist extremism and anger at the violation of sovereignty in the operation can be summed up by a Twitter hashtag doing the rounds: 02MayBlackDay. The Pakistani government initially welcomed the raid that killed bin Laden in his three-story compound, but within hours the mood changed as it became clear that Pakistan’s army was cut out of the operation. Any discussions over how bin Laden managed to stay undetected in Pakistan were drowned out in anger at what the army portrayed as a treacherous act by a supposed ally. That bin Laden was living with his family near Pakistan’s version of West Point — not in a cave in the mountains as many had guessed — raised eyebrows in the West. The Pakistani army was already accused of playing both sides in the campaign against militancy, providing some support against al-Qaida but keeping the Afghan Taliban as strategic allies. A week after the raid, President Barack Obama said bin Laden had a “support network” in Pakistan and the country must investigate how he evaded capture. Pakistan responded by announcing the formation of a committee to investigate bin Laden’s presence in Pakistan as well as the circumstances surrounding the U.S. raid. Soon after it began its work, the head of the committee said he was sure that security forces were not hiding bin Laden. Other statements since then have also suggested the report will be more of a whitewash than a genuine probe. Last week, committee spokesman retired Col. Mohammad Irfan Naziri said its findings were being written up but they might not be released publicly. “We’re disappointed,” said a U.S. official about the investigation. “They See YEAR ‌| 5 POMEROY — Aaron and Melissa Vickers of Pomeroy announce the birth of a daughter, Emi Jo Vickers, born on Feb. 6, at the Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

The man, who uses the false identify of Bobby Thompson, was indicted in Ohio in 2010 on theft, money laundering and other charges related to the Florida-based charity. He disappeared in June 2010. Little, if any, of the money collected by the charity was used to benefit veterans, authorities have said. Authorities acting on a tip tracked Thompson to a bar in Portland, Ore., on Monday night, followed him home and made the arrest, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said. He had multiple fake ID cards from Canada and a backpack containing cash, DeWine said. Thompson, who appeared in poor health and was walking with a cane, refused to speak to investigators, authorities said. DeWine said authorities hope to have the man returned within 10 days to Ohio, where he will be tried in state court in Cleveland. The alleged fraud, which DeWine called “despicable,” spanned 41 states, including up to $2 million in Ohio. People who contributed gave small amounts, ranging from $5 to $50, DeWine said. “The bulk of this was not huge contributions,” he said. “But these were patriotic Americans who gave money believing that that money was going to help Navy veterans.” Authorities still don’t know the man’s real name, but investigators uncovered information earlier this year that led them to believe he may have lived recently in New Mexico. Ohio investigators also tracked Thompson through Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington and West Virginia. The arrest closes a search dating back several years and involving a Tampa, Fla.based charity known as the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. Last year, a co-defendant of Thompson’s, Blanca Contreras of Tampa, Fla., was sentenced to five years in prison for her role in the scam. Contreras had plead- ed guilty to theft, money laundering and other charges related to allegations she handled nearly $475,000 in Ohio donations for the charity. Former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray had also investigated Thompson and had worked with the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office on an arrest warrant issued from Cincinnati, where in 2003 the man set up a UPS mailbox to collect donations for the association. Authorities say the real Thompson wasn’t connected to the association and had his identity, including his Social Security number and date of birth, stolen. The association made a few sporadic contributions that benefited veterans, but public records show the man behind it contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to political candidates around the country, Cordray said in 2010. Authorities didn’t know the motives for those contributions, he said. Cordray’s office froze the association’s bank accounts and drop boxes and ordered it to stop operations in Ohio. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Under intense security and the cover of night, President Barack Obama slipped into Afghanistan on Tuesday to sign an agreement cementing a U.S. commitment to the nation after the long and unpopular war comes to an end. Obama was to be on the ground for about seven hours in Afghanistan, where the United States has been engaged in war for more than a decade following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The trip carries major symbolic significance for a president seeking a second term and allows him to showcase what the White House considers the fruit of Obama’s refocused war effort: the killing a year ago of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Air Force One touched down late at night local time at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base here. Media traveling with Obama on the 13-hour flight had to agree to keep it secret until Obama had safely finished a helicopter flight to the nation’s capital, Kabul, where Taliban insurgents still launch lethal attacks. Obama is joining Afghan President Hamid Karzai to sign the agreement that will broadly govern the U.S. role in Afghanistan after the American combat mission stops at the end of 2014 — 13 years after it began. Obama will also give a speech designed to reach Americans in the U.S. dinnertime hour of 7:30 p.m. EDT. It will be 4 a.m. here when Obama speaks. His war address will come exactly one year after special forces, on his order, began the raid that led to the killing of bin Laden in Pakistan. Since then, ties between the United States and Afghanistan have been tested anew by the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. base and the massacre of 17 civilians, including children, allegedly by an American soldier. Obama’s overarching message will be that the war is ending on his watch but the U.S. commitment to its ally is not. Politics, too, set the tone for what the White House hoped would be a positive message and image for Obama: the commander in chief setting a framework to end the war while reassuring Afghanistan, on its soil, it will not be abandoned. At home, Obama’s Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has retorted to the Obama campaign’s suggestion that Romney might not have gone after bin Laden as Obama did. “Even Jimmy Carter would have given that order,” Romney said of the Democratic president ousted after one term. Obama has tried to portray inconsistency in Romney’s position on the merits of targeting bin Laden. Without mentioning Romney by name, Obama has said he has been consistent and if others have not, “let them explain it.” Obama aides said the anniversary of bin Laden’s killing is not a focus of the trip. But they do not mind that Obama’s mission will serve as a reminder, six months before Election Day. More than 1,800 U.S. forces have been killed and 15,700 more have been wounded in Afghanistan. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined have cost almost $1.3 trillion. And public support for keeping troops in Afghanistan seems lower than ever. Obama has gone twice before to Afghanistan as president, most recently in December 2010, and once to Iraq in 2009. All such trips, no matter how carefully planned, carry the weight and the risks of considerable security challenges. Just last month, the Taliban began near-simultaneous assaults on embassies, government buildings and NATO bases in Kabul. Still, it would have been unusual for Obama to sign the “strategic partnership” agreement without Karzai at his side. The deal is essential for locking in America’s commitment and Afghan’s sovereignty when the post-war period comes. Ne- gotiations have dragged as Afghan officials have demanded specific assurances, financial and otherwise. Both sides have scrambled to get a deal before the NATO conference in Chicago later this month. Negotiators seemed to clear the way for Obama and Karzai by finding agreement over the conduct of night raids and authority over detainees. The president was to travel back from Kabul to the Bagram base to spend some time with troops. He was then to give his speech in a straight-to-camera delivery reminiscent of an Oval Office address, before flying back to the U.S. He is expected back in Washington on Wednesday afternoon. The United States has 88,000 troops in Afghanistan. An additional 40,000 in coalition forces remain from other nations. Obama has already declared that NATO forces will hand over the lead combat role to Afghanistan in 2013 as the U.S. and its allies work to get out by the end of 2014. One important unsettled issue, however, is how many U.S. troops may remain after that. U.S. officials are eying a residual force of perhaps 20,000, many in support roles for the Afghan armed forces, and some U.S. special forces for counterterror missions. The size and scope of that U.S. force — if one can be agreed upon on at all, given the public moods and political factors in both nations — will probably have to be worked out later in a separate agreement. President Obama in Afghanistan to sign security pact MEIGS COUNTY LANDOWNERS Informational Meeting Saturday - May5th 6:00 pm Mulberry Community Center (260 Mulberry Ave., Pomeroy, OH) www.southernohioenergyconsultantsllc.com �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Analysis: Student loan agreement? Not so fast. David Espo, AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) — In the political campaigns still taking shape, President Barack Obama, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and lawmakers of both parties say they want to protect college students from a sharp increase in interest rates on federally subsidized loans. Agree, they might, and act they surely will. But first, they settled effortlessly into a rollicking good political brawl. In less than 72 hours, what might have looked like a relatively simple matter mushroomed into a politically charged veto showdown that touched on the economy and health care, tax cuts and policies affecting women. Accusatory campaign commercials to follow, no doubt. “This is beneath us. This is beneath the dignity of this House and the dignity of the public trust that we enjoy,” protested House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio as he and Democrats both maneuvered for position. Evidently not. “It shouldn’t be a Republican or a Democratic issue. This is an American issue,” Obama said in North Carolina last week as he broached the topic of legislation in a move to gain support students in the fall election. He urged his listeners to tweet their lawmakers and urge them to block an increase in interest rates on federally subsidized loans issued beginning July 1. There was partisan pop behind Obama’s message, though. Over two days of campaign-style appearances on college campuses, he quoted one unnamed Republican lawmaker as saying she had “very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there’s no reason for that.” Another GOP lawmaker likened student loans to “stage three cancer of socialism,” he said. Both Republicans quickly said they had been quoted out of context. Within a day, Romney told reporters he agreed on the need to prevent the rate increase, while conceding nothing to Obama in the search for political advantage. “I support extending the temporary relief on interest rates for students,” he said, and cited “extraordinarily poor conditions in the job market” in a jab at the president’s handling of the economy. Congressional Democrats announced they would write legislation to prevent a doubling of the current 3.4 percent interest rate, and cover the $6 billion cost by requiring more wealthy individuals to pay Social Security and Medicare payroll tax. It was a not-so-subtle reprise of a campaign perennial, the allegation that Republicans want to cut programs benefiting those who aren’t rich to protect tax cuts for those who are. “Let’s be honest,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “The only reason Democrats have proposed this particular solution to the problem is to get Republicans to oppose it, to make us cast a vote they think will make us look bad to the voters they need to win the next election.” He then accused Democrats of wanting to pay for the legislation “by raiding Social Security and Medicare, and by making it even harder for small businesses to hire.” Democrats noted that the Republican-written budget included no provisions to block the increase in the interest rate. It was evidence, they added, that if the GOP had its way, the cost of borrowing would double soon.

The Democratic charge brought a rebuttal from Boehner, who said at midweek that the Republicancontrolled House would vote quickly to prevent the interest rate from rising. “The issue is not a partisan issue,” he said, echoing Obama on one point. “No one here expected interest rates would go up in the fall.” Then he, too, put his thumb on the political scales. The Republican bill would cover the $6 billion cost by slicing into a fund to cover preventive health care costs. That expanded the struggle to include one of the Republicans’ own campaign planks — the promise to repeal what they deride as “Obamacare,” and failing that, to dismantle it piece by piece. Charge gave way to counter-charge having little or nothing to do with student loans. Democrats said the health care fund Republicans had targeted was evidence of a “war on women.” “Give me a break,” protested Boehner on the House floor. Addressing Democrats, he said, “you may have already forgotten that several months ago you voted to cut $4 billion out of this fund to pay for the payroll tax cut.” By then, the White House weighed in with a veto threat, which House Republicans promptly ignored in passing its version of the measure on a near party-line vote of 215-195. With that, Congress, its approval rating mired in the teens, went on a oneweek vacation. Page 4 Wednesday, May 2, 2012 With shuttle’s end, space firms seek new direction Stephen Singer, AP Business Writer HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Less than a year after NASA ended its shuttle program, players in America’s space business are casting around for new direction. United Technologies Corp. is the most recent company to announce it will sharply scale back its role in space exploration. It’s selling Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, a manufacturer of rocket engines and liquidpropulsion systems that it’s owned for seven years. The sale of Rocketdyne and other businesses are intended to raise $3 billion to finance United Technologies’ purchase of aerospace parts maker Goodrich Corp. Greg Hayes, chief financial officer at United Technologies, rapped U.S. space policy when he announced the decision in mid-March to sell Rocketdyne. “Growth will be limited at Rocketdyne,” Hayes told investor analysts. “It’s still a very good business. It’s a national asset … but unfortunately, without a national space policy, growth will be limited for some time.” Rocketdyne dates to early rocketry, working with pioneers such as Wernher von Braun and contributing to propulsion on Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s and ’70s that brought astronauts to the moon. The company has a future with NASA even if the space agency’s path is unclear, said Rocketdyne President Jim Maser. Three of four companies vying to take crew to the space station would use Rocketdyne propulsion, he said. Still, he said, NASA’s path is unclear. “There is an official space policy and I can’t cite it, to be honest,” Maser said. NASA’s 30-year shuttle program ended last July with the voyage of Atlantis. The space shuttle Discovery has become a museum piece, turned over by NASA in mid-April to the Smithsonian Institution. Other companies have shifted some business from space exploration. Lockheed Martin Corp. closed its 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.

A year later, NASA chose that site in New Orleans to build components of its new heavy-lift rocket, but only if Congress funds the project. ATK Space SystemsTech has laid off hundreds of workers in Utah, citing the phase-out of the space shuttle and the Minuteman III ballistic missile programs. And Florida’s Space Coast, once the center of rocket launches, has lost thousands of jobs. NASA is still using companies such as Boeing, SpaceX and others to ferry cargo and astronauts to and from the International Space Station in three to five years. Until then, the space agency will spend tens of millions of dollars per seat on Russian Soyuz spacecraft. High-profile space exploration is now becoming a commercial venture. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, plans to launch its Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral to the space station on April 30. And a group of wealthy backers, including Google executives and filmmaker James Cameron, are behind an asteroidmining idea. NASA suffers in comparison with its early days when it followed through on a grand vision by national leaders, starting with President John Kennedy, of sending men to the moon, said Olivier L. de Weck, an associate professor of aeronautics, astronautics and engineering systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It’s a little bit unfair to say NASA has had no space policy,” he said. “It’s not as monumental as Apollo, but it’s still robust and a leader in breadth and scope of impact.” NASA is working on a new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System. But several businesses such as SpaceX insist that with time, also can build a launch system, de Weck said. “It’s a real policy question, government competing with private business for space launch,” de Weck said. An argument can be made that government should focus on military applications such as spy satellites and explore beyond earth while leaving space launches to private business, he said. United Technologies is not exiting space exploration entirely. The company is selling three industrial businesses at its Hamilton Sundstrand subsidiary, but is leaving untouched the company’s work in making space suits, launch systems and other space equipment. A spokesman for Hamilton Sundstrand would not discuss its space business until after the Rocketdyne sale. Hayes told investor analysts April 24 that United Technologies expects to sign a contract shortly for the sale of the company. Matt Collins, an analyst at Edward Jones, said United Technologies has scaled back Hamilton Sundstrand’s involvement in space exploration. “It’s a fraction of the business today,” he said. Chris Quilty, a Raymond James analyst, said that without the shuttle, the United States no longer has a vehicle to put humans into space, calling into question the need for rockets. “The rocket does not have a mission. It does not have a payload,” he said. “There’s no lunar lander. It’s literally a rocket to nowhere.” Industry changes are spurring “some truly innovative commercial companies coming into existence,” such as Space Exploration Technologies, Quilty said. In December 2010, SpaceX became only the fourth entity — after the U.S. Russian and Chinese governments — to put a capsule into space. Rocketdyne’s Maser said space travel is essentially about physics and economics. Only the financial part has changed, he said. “Fundamentally, how we leave the planet hasn’t changed,” he said. “We haven’t come up with a brilliant new way to do that.” The Daily Sentinel Ohio Valley Publishing Co. 111 Court Street Pomeroy, Ohio Phone (740) 992-2156 Fax (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com Sammy M.

Brown www.mydailysentinel.com Santorum wants promises from Romney before backing WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum wants to ensure the GOP’s policy platform represents conservatives’ interests. Newt Gingrich wants help retiring his campaign debt and repairing his reputation. Both Republicans are expected to endorse their former rival Mitt Romney — and signal to their backers to fall in line behind the party’s presumptive nominee — but each wants assurances that Romney will deliver for them. Neither is rushing toward the task. Meanwhile, it doesn’t appear that Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is going to go that way. Paul is still in the race and hasn’t yet recognized Romney as the party’s nominee. The tea party favorite and former Libertarian presidential nominee seems unlikely to endorse given deep differences with Romney on economic and foreign policy issues. Romney plans to meet Santorum on Friday and Gingrich plans to endorse him this week, an end-of-primary dance that happens every four years once the party settles on a nominee. Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, quit the race April 10 but has stopped short of publicly embracing Romney as the GOP’s standard bearer after a bitter primary season that featured Santorum calling Romney “the worst Republican in the country” to run against Obama. Not long after, Santorum was telling CNN’s Piers Morgan about Romney, “It’s very clear that he’s going to be the Republican nominee and I’m going to be for the Republican nominee and we’re going to do everything we can to defeat Barack Obama.” Morgan could not goad him into a proper endorsement. Gingrich all but bowed out last week, saying: “It’s clear Romney is the nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama. We should not focus on defeating ourselves.” He plans to officially end his campaign in the coming days and endorse Romney. Romney, for his part, has been working to bring the party together after a bruising primary season, and nods from Santorum and Gingrich could help mend those wounds. Both Santorum and Gingrich have fervent followings among conservatives who make up the base of the party and who generally view Romney skeptically because of his positions on a host of issues. Romney has changed his position on bedrock issues such as abortion and gay rights. He supported the 2008 Wall Street bailout that angered conservatives and paved the way for the rise of the tea party. And he signed a health care overhaul as governor that provided the groundwork for Democrats’ national law that requires all Americans to buy insurance or face a fine. Romney’s health care overhaul in Massachusetts required health care coverage. From Page 3 housed him for six years was razed by bulldozers in a surprise, nighttime operation. Just last week, his three wives and 11 daughters, children and grandchildren were deported to Saudi Arabia; their side of the story is unlikely to be told anytime soon. In this relatively wealthy and well-ordered town that has become infamous for hosting bin Laden for so long, it’s hard to find anyone prepared to say they supported the American operation. Many don’t believe bin Laden ever lived in the house, reflecting the popularity of conspiracy theories in a country where the rulers often obscure the truth. Umair Ishaq, who grows vegetables close to the empty lot, said he remained angry about the raid. “You go there to the compound, there is a still a fragrance from those who were killed,” he said, referring to Islamic belief that those who die as a martyr to the faith give off a sweet smell at death. “They were innocent and they were martyrs.” Most of the rubble has been hauled away from the site, on which local children now play cricket. Farmers cross over it on their way to the fields, and on a recent day older boys were smashing away at bits of masonry, trying to extract the metal poles inside so they could sell them. After the helicopter-borne operation, the country’s generals retaliated by kicking out U.S. special forces trainers operating close to the Afghan border, cutting intelligence cooperation with the CIA and restricting the travel of foreign diplomats and aid workers. Authorities arrested a Pakistani doctor who assisted America in tracking down bin Laden. The doctor remains in detention, facing possible treason charges. The country has made not made public the arrests of anyone connected to bin Laden’s time on the run. Relations had barely recovered when in November U.S. airstrikes inadvertently killed 24 Pakistani troops along the Afghan border. Pakistan immediately blocked U.S. and NATO supply routes across its soil into Afghanistan. They remain shut, despite U.S. attempts to renegotiate a new deal with Pakistan. Even before the raid, anti- American sentiment was so rampant in Pakistan that anyone who opposed Washington was lauded by many sections of society. Bin Laden was no exception, even as his followers carried out numerous bloody attacks inside the country. “OBL was considered as a hero by the general public at large, and his death generated a lot of sympathy,” said Aftab Khan Sherpao, a lawmaker from the northwest who has three times been targeted by Islamist militant suicide bombers. “No one has been able to control and contain his supporters.” Despite reservations about Pakistan’s commitment to U.S. goals in Afghanistan and doubts over how bin Laden managed to evade capture for so long, the Obama administration feels it has little choice but to ally itself with the country. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and will remain important in the fight against al-Qaida in years to come. Many believe Islamabad’s cooperation will be essential for getting any Afghan peace deal to stick, allowing the U.S. to withdraw troops. awards are part of a series of capital investments that are made available to community health centers through the Affordable Care Act, which provides $9.5 billion to expand services over five years and $1.5 billion to support major construction and renovation projects at community health centers. According to a new report released today, the health care law has already supported the construction and renovation of 190 health center sites and the creation of 67 new health center sites across the country, and will support the construction and renovation of more than 485 health center sites and the creation of 245 new health center sites over the next two years. Health centers improve the health of the nation’s communities by ensuring access to primary health care services. Currently, more than 8,500 service delivery sites around the country deliver care to nearly 19.5 million patients regardless of their ability to pay, according to the release. Meigs County’s Family Healthcare Center which has operated in Middleport for the past four years, moved into a new facility last month and has expanded services to include dental care.

Year promised to do it, but they haven’t yet.” The public line of the Obama administration is that no evidence has emerged to suggest bin Laden had high-level help inside Pakistan. Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence agency said bin Laden’s long and comfortable existence in the country was an “intelligence failure.” But suspicions have increased following recent disclosures by one of bin Laden’s wives in a police interrogation report that the al-Qaida leader lived in five houses while on the run and fathered four children, two of whom were born in Pakistani government hospitals. “I just find the idea that he lived in a place like Abbottabad without the ISI’s knowledge strains credibility,” said Shawn Gregory, director of the Pakistan Security Research Unit at Bradford University in the U.K. “It is ridiculous that he wasn’t being protected.” Since the raid, Pakistan has tried to close one of the most notorious chapters in its history.

Funds Bank Prayer Contracts The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Also speaking about some local efforts to help those who are struggling with addiction were Jay Proffitt and Nancy Hill. Proffitt stated that a big support system is the person’s family. He went on to say that a lot of people want the addicts to go to rehab, but they may not be prepared to provide the needed support long after rehab is over. “It’s not something you can just quit,” Proffitt said. Hill also talked about an organization called SOLACE, which stands for Surviving Our Loss and Continuing Everyday. Hill talked about her son who struggles with addiction and how she has used SOLACE, and her passion to help people to help end this problem in our communities. According to a brochure, those involved with SOLACE are working to end the crisis with substance abuse, specifically prescription drug and opiate addiction in all Ohio communities by providing support to individuals and families affected by addiction. “No addict wants to be an addict,” Hill added.

The team portrayed several different scenarios including those suffering from different kinds of addiction, such as drinking and drugs, and also what those lifestyles could potentially lead to, such as unwanted pregnancies and various health problems, and even death. The next public event by the Prayer Task Force will be from 7-9 p.m. on Friday May 4 at the Pomeroy Parking Lot, and will consist of praise, music, and testimony to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Prayer Task Force. �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2012 mdssports@heartlandpublications.com Marauders blast Wellston in 6 innings, 11-1 Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs baseball team claimed a season sweep of visiting Wellston Monday night during a six-inning, 11-1 victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Meigs County.

The Golden Rockets (5-14, 1-7) also provided a little help down the stretch. With Meigs leading 10-1 headed into the bottom of the sixth, Taylor Rowe led the frame off with a single. Rowe stole second and was later advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Ty Phelps, putting the potential game-winning run just 90 feet away with one out.

The visiting Blue Devils (6-5) picked up just their second road win of the season, but also earned their second sweep of an opponent in the last 10 days. GAHS defeated IHS by a 5-0 count on March 6 and also posted a sweep of Jackson this spring. Connor Christian needed three sets, but the freshman pulled out a 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Waddle in first singles. The Fighting Tigers forfeited the remaining two singles matches, which technically gave the guests a 3-0 lead in the best of five series. Riley Nibert and Sean Saltzgaber took a 3-0 lead in first doubles, but the duo of Fields and Wilson were forced to forfeit due to an loss — watched his night come to an end after a passed ball allowed Rowe to score the winning run in the mercy-rule outcome. Meigs also claimed a season sweep of Wellston after posting a 14-7 win at WHS back on April 12. Waldron allowed 11 runs (nine earned), nine hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out two. Justin Myers picked up the winning decision after allowing one earned run, four hits and two walks over five frames while fanning 11. Taylor Gilkey also worked an inning of scoreless relief, surrendering one hit and earning one strikeout. Rowe and Gilkey led the Marauders with two hits apiece, while Phelps, Nathan Rothgeb, Treay McKinney, Zach Sayre and Matt Casci added a safety each to the winning cause.

MHS, however, answered that score with a run in its half of the frame to knot things up at three apiece through five complete. The contest stayed that way through seven innings of regulation, which led to extra innings — where WHS made its biggest move of the night. The Lady Rockets sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the eighth, which resulted in four runs on three hits, two errors and a hit batsman.

The White Falcons (1516, 7-8 TVC Hocking) trailed 5-0 after an inning of play and were also down 10-0 through five and a half frames, as the Tomcats (99, 9-5) outhit the hosts by a 10-6 overall margin in the triumph. WHS, which managed its only run in the bottom of the sixth, also committed three of the four errors in the contest. Leading 5-0, Trimble plated three runs in the fourth for an 8-0 lead and added two more scores in the sixth for a double-digit cushion of 10-0. Matt Stewart singled home Wyatt Zuspan in the bottom of the sixth, allowing the hosts to wrap up the scoring at its 10-1 outcome. Trimble, with the win, avenged a 12-3 setback in Glouster back on April 11. J.D. Chesser was the winning pitcher of record for THS, while Zuspan took the loss for the White Falcons. Zuspan and Tyler Roush led WHS with two hits apiece, followed by Stewart and Kane Roush with safety each. SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Gregg Popovich was selected as the NBA’s Coach of the Year on Tuesday after leading the San Antonio Spurs to 50 wins and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference in the lockoutshortened season. Popovich also won the award in 2003 when San Antonio won its second of four championships, and he might be headed for a fifth ring if the Spurs keep this up. No longer able to simply lean on Tim Duncan and defense, Popovich has nonetheless molded another contender with a surprising supporting cast of rookies and former NBA no-names. He whipped them into winners quickly. After a bumpy 12-9 start, the Spurs lost only seven more games the rest of the season. “If you can draft David Robinson and follow that up with Tim Duncan, that’s a couple of decades of very, very possible success unless you just screw it up,” Popovich said. “So it’s hard to take credit when circumstances have gone your way so consistently.” Popovich received 77 first-place votes. Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau was second (27), Indiana coach Frank Vogel was third (7) and Memphis coach Lionel Hollins was fourth (6). Boston’s Doc Rivers and Denver’s George Karl each received a vote. The season loomed as one of Popovich’s toughest projects yet. Besides Duncan and Manu Ginobili growing another year older, the Spurs started the year with much of the same roster that fell in the first round to the up-and-coming Grizzlies last spring. But Popovich, who is also team president, looked in unlikely places to keep San Antonio’s championship window from shutting just yet. Rookie forward Kawhi Leonard became a starter by midseason, as did swingman Danny Green. “Pop has done a terrific job molding a mix of experience and inexperience,” Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said. Popovich also steered the Spurs through what has typically been a death-knell for them in recent years: injuries to their Big Three. Ginobili missed nearly half the season after breaking his hand, yet San Antonio still kept winning without their playmaking guard. bwalters@mydailytribune.com Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Gallia Academy and River Valley track teams competed at the Chillicothe Invitational Friday night.

Value your time more, and others will value you more. If you are single, bathe in your popularity, which certainly will aid in drawing a special significant other into your life. If you are attached, your sweetie sees a new approach you’re taking and likes it. VIRGO can handle the details, whereas you work with the concepts. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH A slower pace with fewer responsibilities is nice once in a while. Network and do some research. Many of you will be eyeing an important financial decision. Seek different views and information. Tonight: Which invitation would you like to accept? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could be taken aback by a demanding situation. Fortunately, you can focus and direct your energy on this issue, and still be good to go. Fill part of your time with a project or person you enjoy. Tonight: Pitch in when someone needs help. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH No one doubts your immense resilience and abilities. Your resourcefulness might save a project or give new life to a dying issue. More and more, you look at the possibilities. Take time to accept a token gesture of affection. Tonight: You are a source of wonderful, fun suggestions. Follow one of them. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Sometimes you — more than other signs — think about home. You are just that way. Take a serious look at a home-based business. Once an adjustment is made, you might really love it. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Continue to eye an issue that could impact funds. Someone you look up to might be extremely benevolent. Still, you might not want to go along with this person’s offer. Curb a tendency to go to extremes, especially in a discussion. The hyperbole could cause more of a problem. Tonight: Hang out. Visit with a pal or loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. Your upbeat attitude, kindness and unusual detachment mix together well to accomplish the desired result. A conversation you have now might have to be repeated later. It will not be understood as it is intended. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You dislike being laidback, if it means not being involved. Consciously or not, you are a natural leader and need to express that quality. Toward late afternoon, you could discover that you have new energy. Tonight: Finally, you call the shots. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Complete a project or communication of importance before sunset. You will be able to accomplish more than you initially anticipated. Others seem willing to digest and “OK” your ideas. Tonight: You might want to do something special, but would prefer not to let everyone know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Fortunately, you can handle pressure, demands and problems. You will do just that today. Certainly an associate or cohort means well, even if he or she keeps tripping you up. Indulge this person a little. Tonight: Flock toward your buddies, wherever they might be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Do not push so hard to achieve certain results. Detach and see how necessary it is to proceed as you want. You might gain a lot of insight. Nevertheless, you will position yourself as an authority figure. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Keep reaching out for someone who can help illuminate a situation. This person has a way of anchoring you as well. Consider dealing with demanding people individually. If you can, stay close to home. Tonight: Let your mind wander. You might want to call a friend at a distance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others see you much differently than you see yourself. It might boost your confidence a little if you listen to what they are saying. You have a unique ability to put others at ease and let them know that you care. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

The closure of the deal was announced in a terse statement. The Dodgers were sold to Guggenheim Baseball Management, a group that includes former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson. Mark Walter, chief executive officer of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners, will become the controlling owner, and the team will be run by former Atlanta Braves President Stan Kasten. McCourt met with Dodgers employees Tuesday, expressing his appreciation and introduced Walter, said Howard Sunkin, a spokesman for McCourt. “The Dodgers move forward with confidence in a strong financial position as a premier Major League Baseball franchise and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community,” the new ownership group’s statement said. The timing couldn’t have come at a better time for Dodgers fans, who are excited about having their team leading the National League. The Dodgers had a 16-7 record going into Tuesday night’s game in Colorado. The Dodgers have won six World Series titles but none since 1988, when they were still owned by the O’Malley family that moved the team from Brooklyn to California after the 1957 season. Fox bought the team in 1998, then sold it to McCourt. The sale was part of a reorganization plan after McCourt took the team into bankruptcy last June. A federal judge approved the deal last month. The sale was supposed to close Monday, the day McCourt was to make a $131 million payment to former wife Jamie McCourt as part of their divorce settlement. The team’s statement said all claims will be paid. Jamie McCourt did receive her payment on Monday. McCourt paid $430 million in 2004 to buy the team, Dodger Stadium and 250 acres of land that include the parking lots from the Fox division of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Despite the Dodgers making the playoffs the first four out of six seasons under McCourt’s ownership, the off-the-field saga took attention away from the team as he and his ex-wife were in a protracted divorce battle during which their lavish spending habits were revealed in court documents and testimony. Major League Baseball assumed control of the club’s day-to-day operations in April 2011 amid concerns by MLB executives that McCourt couldn’t make payroll. The team filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after baseball Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a proposed broadcast rights deal with Fox Sports that McCourt said would have alleviated worries about covering payroll. The team’s debt stood at $579 South Carolina president: NCAA visit was “surreal” COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides is calling his trip to face the NCAA infractions committee “surreal,” adding that he was grateful the agency accepted the school’s self-imposed penalties. The NCAA placed South Carolina on three years of probation and charged it with failure to monitor its athletic programs, among other penalties, after it found nearly two dozen Gamecocks received more than $59,000 in improper benefits and inducements for extended stays at a hotel for reduced rates and for involvement with a mentoring group from Delaware The NCAA, in releasing its decision, said South Carolina’s cooperation went “beyond standard expectations.” Pastides told The Associated Press on Monday school leaders learned Thursday the NCAA documented decision would arrive on campus the next morning. “That was a very restless night,” Pastides said. Instead, Pastides was relieved to learn the governing body accepted the penalties South Carolina had proposed to the NCAA in response to the allegations last December. There was no forfeiture of games or bowl bans attached to the penalties. South Carolina will also pay a fine of $18,500. The football team will lose three of its 85 scholarships in both the 2013 and 2014 seasons. It will also cut official visits for football recruiting to 30 from 56 during the 2012-13 academic year. South Carolina was placed on probation for three years, ending April 26, 2015. It was a welcome end, Pastides said, to an ordeal that began in the summer of 2010 when NCAA investigators spoke to tight end Weslye Saunders about his attendance at a party in Miami and about his living in the Whitney Hotel. Several other South Carolina athletes were found to be staying in two-bedroom hotels suites paying less than $15 a night each. South Carolina was also cited for its involvement with the Student Athlete Mentoring Foundation, which gave school athletes and prospects more than $8,000 in recruiting benefits. Right from the start, Pastides strove for transparency with the investigation. “We told the truth,” he said. “When we found something we thought (the NCAA) might want to know, not even knowing whether they knew or would find out, we put it on the table.” Pastides remembers the restless feelings that cropped up during the process, none more unsettling than the trip to Los Angeles in February as he led a delegation of school officials and coaches before the NCAA Committee on Infractions. “It was surreal,” he said. “You fly across the country for a consequential hearing. You know in your heart you have a good story to tell but you’re faced with hard questions.” Pastides said those involved prepared very hard for the hearing, not to give answers designed to save face. “No, you prepare to tell the truth,” he said. Athletic director Eric Hyman credited the school’s senior associate director of athletics, Judy Van Horn, with taking the point on South Carolina’s defense. He said he gave her a big hug Friday after finding out the school would not be penalized more than they already were. “We did have some people who made some mistakes. South Carolina has learned from what’s gone on,” he said. “I think (the NCAA) recognizes that we are committed to doing things the right way. A lot of people at South Carolina can rest assured that their athletics program will reflect the values of the university.” Pastides cautioned while the NCAA could’ve been harsher with South Carolina, “this was not a partying moment.” Besides Van Horn’s arrival in 2010, South Carolina hired Chris Rogers of Ohio State earlier this year as its compliance director. The two are key parts of making sure the school keeps a clean, rules-abiding program, Hyman and Pastides said. “The compliance function is so important,” Pastides said. “We can’t afford to not continue to build the best compliance program around. This is hard work right now.” 700 W Main St Pomeroy, OH 740-992-2891 Monday-Saturday 8am-9pm; Sunday 9am-7pm 740-992-2891 FAMILY PACK Boneless Beef Chuck Roast $ 2.99/lb Boneless Whole Pork Loin $1.99/lb FRESH BONELESS Chicken Breast 1.99/lb $ 6pk 24oz bottles Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew Pepsi 12pks 3/$10 3/ 8 $ Luis Sinco/Los Angeles Times/MCT photo Magic Johnson and Frank McCourt take in the Dodgers’ season opener against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, April 5, at Petco Field in San Diego, California. million as of January, according to a court filing, but McCourt stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars.

US men’s team drawn into tougher Olympic pool Brian Mahoney AP Sports Writer The way things have been going, Americans should have expected a tough road back to Olympic men’s basketball gold. “It’s been that kind of a year,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. The U.S., reeling from major injuries to NBA stars Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose, was placed into what appears to be the more difficult group Monday during the draw for the London Games in Rio de Janeiro. The defending champions face powerful Argentina, France and Tunisia in Group A, plus two more teams from a last-chance qualifying tournament in Venezuela in July. Solid European squads such as Lithuania, Russia and Greece — the last team to beat the USA squad — are favorites to grab those spots. Argentina, the 2004 gold and ‘08 bronze medalist, will have Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola back. The resurgent French were the European runners-up last year behind San Antonio point guard Tony Parker. Tunisia earned its first Olympic berth by beating Angola last year for the African championship. The Tunisians trailed the Americans by only four points in the third quarter at the world championship two years ago, before the U.S. pulled away for a 92-57 victory. “It appears that our group, Group A, is going to be extremely competitive,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. “It’s a tough draw with a former Olympic champion in Argentina; France is another powerful team, a veteran team that is extremely talented; Tunisia continues to improve, and then our group will add the top two teams from the FIBA World Qualifying Tournament. In the Olympics you only have 12 countries qualify so you’re going to have tough draws, and that’s why winning a gold medal is such a great accomplishment.” Spain, the 2008 silver medalist, heads Group B, which includes Australia, Brazil, China and Britain. One qualifier from Venezuela will join them. “The one thing you know is you’ve got to beat them all. To win it, you’ve got to beat everybody,” Colangelo said. The top four teams in each pool advance to the quarterfinals. And with the retired Yao Ming no longer playing for China, and Golden State center Andrew Bogut unable to play for Australia after ankle surgery, the hosts may have a chance to be one of them. “Although there is never an easy game at this level, I’m happy with the draw,” British team captain Drew Sullivan wrote on Twitter. The American women’s team, winners of the last four Olympic gold medals, has the easier draw — Group A, with China, Angola and three teams from the qualifying tournament played in Turkey in June. Group B consists of Australia, Brazil, Britain, Russia and two qualifiers. The biggest game of the “The 2008 men’s final between the U.S. and Spain was one of the greatest Olympic moments,” — Patrick Baumann FIBA Secretary General preliminary round will be between the Russians and Australians to determine who gets the No. 1 seed in that pool and avoids playing the U.S. until potentially the gold-medal game. The Olympic basketball tournaments will take place from July 28-Aug. 12. U.S. women’s coach Geno Auriemma said that although the Americans’ draw looks better now, it may not turn out that way. “People might say we’ve got an easier draw than teams in the other bracket, but you have to remember that China is the Asian champion. They have been climbing back up the world ranks and finished in the top four in Beijing, and Angola will be excited about playing in their first Olympics,” Auriemma said. “Don’t forget, we could end up with a very tough pool once the Olympic qualifying tournament plays out. There are a lot of very competitive teams still trying to play their way into the Olympics, like the Czech Republic. They finished second at the worlds two years ago; they have a very disciplined and wellcoached team. Regardless of who we have in our opening pool, we’re still going to have to get through a lot of very good teams if we want to win gold,” he said. The American men beat Spain four years ago for the gold medal and are favored to repeat, but they will arrive in London weaker than the group that could have drawn comparisons to the Dream Team. Starting center Howard had back surgery and point guard Rose, the NBA’s reigning MVP, tore a knee ligament Saturday. That has forced the Americans to change their plans of announcing their 12-man roster in late May. Colangelo, meeting with Krzyzewski and his staff Monday and Tuesday in Las Vegas, said the roster likely will now be chosen much closer to the June 18 deadline. The Americans had named a pool of 20 finalists in January, but with candidates Chauncey Billups and LaMarcus Aldridge already lost to injuries, they may now be forced to add players just so they have the allowable six alternates. “On the injury side, no news is good news, and that’s not the way it’s been,” Colangelo said. “You take two out of your potential 12 and they go down and they’re out, that’s a blow no matter what. The important thing now is to focus on who would be, what would the makeup be of a roster.” Former Brazil players Hortencia and Paula, silver medalists at the Atlanta Games in 1996, participated in the women’s draw in Rio, which will host the 2016 Games. Oscar Schmidt, Brazil’s career scoring leader, helped in the men’s draw. “The 2008 men’s final between the U.S. and Spain was one of the greatest Olympic moments,” said FIBA Secretary General Patrick Baumann, an IOC member. “It showed the huge strides international basketball had made in becoming more and more competitive. I expect this year’s Olympic basketball tournaments will be a great and memorable spectacle for all.” Both sides will be shorthanded if there’s a rematch, the Spaniards having already lost point guard Ricky Rubio to a knee injury during what had been a stellar rookie season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Brazilian men’s team will be playing in the Olympics for the first time since the Atlanta Games. It had failed to qualify for the last three Olympic tournaments. Other teams participating in the men’s Olympic qualifying tournament will be Angola, Dominican Republic, Macedonia, Jordan, South Korea, New Zealand, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, and host Venezuela. The women’s tournament will include Argentina, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Japan, South Korea, Mali, Mozambique, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and host Turkey. Need to advertise?
