A first step toward that goal was taken at Monday night’s meeting of Council. The village currently has a non-operable defibrillator, according to a report from Offi- cer Chris Pritchard. His recommendation was to get the defibrillator operable at a cost estimated at $100, and provide him with the required training for operation, at another $100. He said that once he has the training since he is already a qualified EMS trainer, then he will be qualified to train the other officers. As pointed out by Mayor Mike Gerlach, once the officers have been trained, then there is a possibility that grant money can be secured to equip the cruisers. He said that since seconds count in a situation where a person is not breathing, and since the police are usually the first to a scene, it would be a real advantage to have the equipment and trained personnel immediately available. Signage on the new village hall was discussed, particularly since it still has the Middleport Elementary School sign across the top. Mony Wood, jail administer, suggested that perhaps the Meigs County Highway Department could make a suitable sign for the village. Wood said that they have just completed a directional sign for the jail since prisoners are coming in from several counties and the location was recently changed from the Race Street location to Pearl Street as a part of the old school restoration project. Other signage needed is one at the marina, which he said is required by the government, several street signs around town, and entrance and exit signs for the new parking area in front of village hall. In response to questions to the mayor about street work, Gerlach reported on temporary repairs being made in areas where new water and sewer lines have been laid as part of the extensive replacement project mandated by the EPA. He described the street repairs now as “temporary work See MIDDLEPORT ‌| 2 Mistrial declared in McBrayer case Common pleas judge rescues himself due to possible conflict Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com The garden along Ohio 124 in Syracuse is one of two being taken care of through the program.

That is just part of the what is is taking place in a garden along Ohio 124 in Syracuse. Adjudicated juveniles from Meigs County Juvenile Court are working in the gardens, both in Syracuse and at Meigs High School, as part of their community service. The project not only teaches them the hard work involved in the gardening process, but allows them to have fresh produce at home and provides it to others in the community. Ron Vance, who organized the project through Juvenile Court, said that the idea for the garden began last spring with discussions between himself and Meigs County Juvenile Judge Scott Powell. The land for the garden in Syracuse was donated for the project, with a water source available to help with watering the garden. A storage location for the Evan Jeffers works in the community garden located in Syragardening tools is also cuse on Monday morning.

Dean Evans has recused himself from the case due a conflict that has risen in an unrelated matter. William “Billy” McBrayer, 30, Gallipolis, was charged after he allegedly knowingly caused physical harm to a child on May 25, 2011, and allegedly administered corporal punishment or other physical disciplinary measures, or physically restrained the child in a manner that is excessive and created substantial risk of serious physical harm. The victim’s date of birth, as listed on the indictment, is January 21, 2009. This matter came before the court for a trial on June 4, and, according to an entry filed with the clerk of courts on June 7, after the jury was impaneled and the trial commenced, the court declared a mistrial upon a motion by the defense.

Impaired boaters cited during Operation Dry Water Staff Report, mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Watercraft participated in Operation Dry Water on June 22-24, a nationwide crackdown to remove impaired boaters from public waterways. State watercraft officers contacted 3,097 recreational boaters and made 11 arrests for boating while intoxicated. As with motor vehicle operators, boat operators in Ohio are considered legally intoxicated if their blood alcohol limit reaches 0.08 percent. Watercraft officers additionally issued 85 citations and 826 written warnings for other alcohol and boating-related violations, including nine drug-related violations during Operation Dry Water. The Division of Watercraft also reported two critical boating incidents where alcohol was considered to be a factor. In 2011, Division of Watercraft officers contacted 1,907 boaters and made eight arrests for boating while intoxicated during the weekend-long effort. A total of 112 other alcohol and boating-related violations were issued in addition to 503 boating safety warnings. No boatingrelated fatalities were recorded in Ohio during Operation Dry Water weekend in June 2011. Alcohol is involved in about one of every three boating-related accidents on Ohio waterways. While state watercraft officers and local marine patrols are always on the lookout for impaired boat operators, Operation Dry Water (www. operationdrywater.org) is an organized national effort that focuses greater awareness of the need for boaters to boat smart, boat sober and make a commitment to staying safe on the water. Ask Dr. Brothers Sister is embarrassing him Dear Dr. Brothers: I was divorced after a marriage of nearly three decades, and have been living with my girlfriend for three years. I recently took her to meet my older sister, whom I don’t see often, and my sister proceeded to call my girlfriend by my ex-wife’s name. She did this three times, and it was embarrassing to my partner and me. Then she kept talking about my ex in glowing terms. She wasn’t even very close to my ex. Should I say something to her, or just let it go? — H.M. Dear H.M.: There are a couple of possibilities for what was going on, and I’m afraid there’s no way to figure it out without discussing the topic with your sister. Since you don’t see her very often, you might not feel close enough to really level with her about how upsetting this incident was to you and your girlfriend, but if it is still bothering you, it probably is a good idea to have the conversation next time you talk to your sister. You could approach the subject by asking her if she enjoyed meeting your girlfriend, and try to get a feel for what she thought of her. There may have been some- thing small that a trip across bothered her, America — by or she may just bike!

But since *** the trip is a few years away, Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m a it might be a good idea to sophomore in college, and move beyond the dreams of I’ve always wanted to go on pedaling across the Rockies and start doing some serious research into what such a trip would involve. Although it seems like a wonderful dream to you, your relatives may be wondering if you are serious about such a venture, given the fact that you don’t seem aware of the many difficulties it will involve. A recent study by researchers at New York University put fantasies like yours to the test. Working with volunteers who were asked to imagine future events (one of which was a vacation), they found that those who only imagined positive results of their fantasy did less pro-andcon research into what it would take to make the scenario a reality. The less likely the fantasy to be carried out, the less they allowed negative research to influence their imaginary venture. If you are serious about your ride, some factfinding now might begin to sway your family. I’m sure they believe in your determination; they just need a bit more to believe in the trip.

Until conditions abate, navigation locks on the Ohio (Meldahl, R.C. Byrd, Racine, Belleville and Willow Island Locks) and Kanawha Rivers (Winfield, Marmet and London Locks) will only lock recre- ational craft on even-numbered hours (2, 4, etc.). Traffic will also be delayed locking through the Greenup Locks on the Ohio River while maintenance work is being done in the main chamber. River traffic will continue to lock through the 600-foot-long auxiliary chamber. Until the scheduled maintenance is completed, Greenup will only lock recreational craft at noon and 4 p.m., unless traffic patterns allow additional lockages.

In the autumn of 1960, with the presidential race between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Senator John F. Kennedy tightening, the Democratic Party candidate made much of a supposed “missile gap” that had emerged during the Eisenhower administration. Ike could have exposed the non-existent missile gap, but didn’t. In May 1960, Soviet air defenses downed a U-2 reconnaissance plane flying high over the Urals on its way from a secret CIA base in Pakistan to Norway. In the messy aftermath, President Eisenhower suspended U-2 flights over the Soviet Union. He didn’t say that these missions were no longer necessary, which they weren’t, given the advent of satellite photo reconnaissance so good that only a handful within the American intelligence community knew the missile gap overwhelmingly favored the United States. That fact was so far beyond top-secret classification that it’s likely Vice President Nixon wasn’t even cleared for it. In the interest of national security, Ike kept mum even though revealing the true nature of the missile gap might have favored the Republican candidate. Consequently, in October 1962, President Kennedy was ready to call Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s bluff during the Cuban missile crisis. National security trumped partisan politics— as it should and always must. The Kennedy administration proved equally adept at keeping secrets by covertly committing U.S. forces to combat in Vietnam while claiming they were “advisors.” In February 1962, Air Force planes commenced Operation Steel Tiger, bombing a network of pathways leading from North Vietnam through Laos to South Viet- nam. By 1968, the bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail had escalated, but the secrecy surrounding what was then called “Operation Commando Hunt” held until mid1971. Commando Hunt was no secret to the tens of thousands of North Vietnamese troops manning and transiting the trail. It was no secret to the Russians and Chinese who supplied the 1,200 anti-aircraft guns along the trail and the thousands of trucks that moved supplies between North Vietnam and the battlefields to the south. Meanwhile, the Chinese busily built a road from southern Yunnan Province through northern Laos pointed directly at Thailand. The British, who with the Soviets were co-sponsors of the 1962 Geneva Accords—supposedly neutralizing Laos—knew that North Vietnam, China and the United States were violating those accords with alacrity. No one leaked, at least not until the summer of 1971 when Daniel Ellsberg, who came to Department of Defense on Secretary Robert McNamara’s watch, released thousands of classified documents published by the New York Times as “The Pentagon Papers.”By then, however, the American anti-war movement was ready to publish the Cornell University Air War Study Group’s “The Air War in Indochina,”edited by Raphael Littauer and Norman Uphoff—a cornucopia of facts and figures that revealed the secret bombing of Laos and much else. Ellsberg went to jail. The “secret” bombing of Laos, though highly classified within the U.S. intelligence community, was no secret to intelligence services in London, Moscow, Beijing, and Hanoi. So why the secrecy? Without official acknowledgement, no one had to react. Escalation of the Indochina war benefited no one. If Washington denied the bombing, then Moscow need not increase its military support for North Vietnam. Accordingly, the United States wouldn’t be The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Conversely, our reconnaissance planes stayed away from the Chinese road in northern Laos. If Washington didn’t acknowledge its existence, the Chinese wouldn’t be forced to defend it with more troops, and the status quo remained. No complications meant Nixon’s troop drawdown could continue and the world could put a messy situation behind it and resume the Cold War’s global chess match with one less potentially dangerous hot spot. What’s the lesson here? National security, international diplomacy and world politics depend on intelligence, and the bodyguard of intelligence is security. It must never be forsaken for short-term, partisan political gain. Admissions from “the highest levels” of the U.S. government that it was party to a cyber attack on Iran risks a retaliation that could take many forms, compelling further escalation. Without the glare of publicity trumpeting the U.S. role, Iranian leaders would be left to fume and stew in their suspicions, knowing the United States could find ways to reach out and touch them. That works much better than an amateurish shout out for partisan political gain.

Armando Montano Katherine Corcoran The Associated Press MEXICO CITY — From cash in chili pepper cans to cocaine in cardboard boxes, Mexico City’s international airport has long been considered the capital’s main transport hub for drugs and other contraband that seem to move as smoothly as any cargo and usually with no fuss for passengers. A deadly shootout among federal police on Monday changed that, drawing attention to a darker side of the country’s premier airport generally considered safe and efficient in its handling of more than 27 million passengers and 400,000 tons of cargo a year. Tourists passing Tuesday through the modern Terminal 2, where the shooting occurred, seemed unfazed. But airport workers in the building, with giant walls of white concrete perforated with thousands of decorative holes, said the fatal shooting had shattered their sense of safety. “I couldn’t believe it because there was so much security,” said Maria Eugenia Cruz, 52, who has worked as a custodian for five months but was on her day off when the shooting occurred. “I’m afraid of another shootout.” Two federal police officers suspected of working for drug traffickers opened fire on fellow officers in a crowded food court Monday, killing three policemen as panicked witnesses dove for cover. The slain officers were on an anti-narcotics mission as they sought to catch the suspected criminals in the act of drug trafficking, said a federal police official who wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. A police statement said the suspects, who were identified in surveillance camera video, were involved in a small-time drug ring. They remain at large. “It was a huge error to try to capture people inside an airport because it’s a sen- 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.

Last year, customs agents found $2.5 million rolled up in spools of telephone cable headed for Venezuela, and an Aeromexico pilot was stopped in Madrid carrying 90 pounds of cocaine. That was several months after three Aeromexico flight attendants were caught in the Madrid airport with 300 pounds of cocaine in their luggage, a case that also saw the arrests of private security company employees operating the security checkpoints in Mexico City’s airport. In 2008, federal police chief Edgar Millan was gunned down inside his Mexico City home possibly in retaliation for investigating drug trafficking at the airport. The previous year, the severed heads of three employees of a customs brokerage firm were found near the airport and in the nearby state of Mexico. The decapitations were apparently retaliation for the seizure of a half-ton of Colombian cocaine at the airport, officials said at the time. Benitez said Mexico’s main airport has, in fact, become an alternative route for drugs from Colombia, Peru and Ecuador headed to Europe, while cash comes in from the United States. It’s the same problem in many international airports. U.S. federal agents swept through Puerto Rico’s largest airport earlier this month, arresting dozens of baggage handlers, airline workers and others suspected of smuggling millions of dollars’ worth of cocaine aboard commercial flights for at least a decade. Airline workers have been arrested in international smuggling operations involving airports in Detroit, Houston and New York, to name a few in the U.S. Monday’s shooting added another deadly chapter to the Mexico City airport’s problems. The federal Public Safety Department said the slain agents were taking part in an 18-month investigation into corrupt federal and local officials who were part of a cocaine trafficking ring. The operation has seized 648 pounds (294 kilograms) of cocaine at the airport. Mexico’s customs agency said it doesn’t keep a running total of all confiscations at the airport. The police official said the wanted officers may have once belonged to the federal highway police, a separate agency that was absorbed into general federal forces. While Mexico has dramatically expanded its federal police force with newly trained and vetted officers, some veterans of earlier forces still work under the old corrupt system in which officers routinely collaborate with criminal organizations. Despite Monday’s violence, U.S. Embassy officials said they have no plans to issue a separate travel warning for the airport, aside from their standing recommendations for Mexico. Tourists passing through Terminal 2 on Tuesday also said they weren’t worried, at least not yet. Mario and Luisa Ortiz, of Argentina, said they vacation in Mexico every year and were on their way to the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta. “The narcos and the violence don’t affect us, ” said Mario Ortiz, a 51-year-old banker. “That’s a Mexican problem.” 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.

Due to the pending nature of the case, Judge Evans refused to comment on the declaration of the mistrial, but did report that it involved an “evidentiary matter.” Evans further reported that he has recused himself from the case due to the involvement of the special prosecutors in an unrelated case that he may be called as a witness to give testimony on behalf of the state. According to Evans, his recusal was not based upon the mistrial and was not related in any way to the case against McBrayer. A journal filed this week and signed by Evans states, “Following the declaration of mistrial in this case, one of the attorneys for the State of Ohio advised Judge Evans that she had been assigned Special Prosecutor in an unrelated matter in which both Judge Evans the perhaps certain members of the Court’s staff would probably be called as witnesses before the Grand Jury to give testimony on behalf of the State of Ohio. … Judge Evans, out of an abundance of caution, finds in order to avoid any impropriety or even the appearance of any impropriety, that he should recuse himself from further proceedings in this matter.” The Supreme Court of Ohio has been contacted and will assign a judge to preside over this case. The case against McBrayer has been rescheduled for a jury trial on Wednesday, September 5. Earlier this year, the court imposed sanctions against the special prosecutors in this case, following a motion filed by the defense seeking the removal of the special prosecutors. The defense’s motion, filed on January 11 by McBrayer’s counsel, Charles Knight, just prior to a jury trial, alleged misconduct on the part of the special prosecutors due to the alleged purposeful concealment of relevant information that would aid in the prosecution of this case, the alleged failure to provide an appropriate witness list, the filing of “misleading” subpoenas and the alleged concealment of witnesses statements. The court subsequently ordered that the state as well as the defense submit briefs arguing their position in regard to the motion, and, in a journal entry filed on February 1, the court imposed sanctions against the prosecutors and continued the trial in this case to April 9. The court ordered that the prosecution file a summary of its response to discovery (a summary of the information provided to the defense in this case), a copy of the bill of particulars (a document giving detailed information concerning the charges against the defendant), a witness list, any written expert witnesses’ reports, as well as the submission of their complete files for inspection to the defense counsel in this case. A motion to continue the jury trial in this case was later filed by the state in March and the court granted the motion, continuing the trial in this case to 9 a.m. on June 4 in the common pleas courtroom. On the day of the trial, a motion was filed with the clerk of courts at 7:59 a.m. and signed by defense counsel Charles Knight. The “motion in limine” moves the court to order the prosecution “to refrain from comment upon certain out of court hearsay statements allegedly made by a 2 year old incompetent witness to one or more individuals contained in the State of Ohio’s witness list until the Court has the opportunity at trial to rule on the admissibility of said alleged statements.” The attached memorandum states that the “statements” — or possible “excited utterances” that can be utilized as evidence at trial for persons not qualified to be witnesses — were made by the two-year-old victim in the days following the incident in question and are inadmissible at trial, according to the memorandum, unless the state can prove that the statements were unreflected and spontaneous and a “sincere expression of her actual impression and belief.” The memorandum further states that consideration should be given as to the lapse of time between the incident and the statements given by the victim, the nature of the statements and the influence of “intervening events.” The document signed by Knight further states, “While it is not required that the statements be exactly simultaneous with the primary fact in controversy, the statements must be spontaneous or an impulsive declaration and not the narration of a past transaction.” Board Sheryl Roush, 20 days (10 days before/10 days after).

The commissioners of the 11 major college football conferences and Notre Dame’s athletic director gathered Tuesday in the nation’s capital to present their proposal for a fourteam playoff to a panel of 12 university presidents, headed by Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger. Approval from the BCS presidential oversight committee is the last hurdle to clear for a big-time college football playoff to become a reality. The new format would replace the Bowl Championship Series, starting in 2014. Former acting Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas said before the meeting at a hotel in the DuPont Circle area of Washington that the commissioners will make about a 30-minute presentation, and then take questions from their bosses. “The presidents have been pretty well briefed by their commissioners coming in, so it will be a matter of how much they want to discuss,” he said. The presidents will then talk about the plan among themselves. Each of the 11 conferences and Notre Dame is represented on the presidential committee. Approval is expected, but it won’t come without some debate. Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman has said he would prefer to keep the BCS as is or make a small modification to it that would have the championship matchup set after the bowls are played instead of before. The tweaked BCS is referred to as a plus-one. “I know Harvey Perlman will speak to the plus-one. That’s very well documented,” Neinas said with a chuckle. The commissioners have been working on a new postseason format since January. They have held six formal meetings, the last of which was last week in Chicago. At that meeting, they announced that they had come to a consensus on a plan. The proposal calls for two semifinals played at existing bowl sites on Dec. 31 or Jan. 1, with winners advancing to a title game to be played about 10 days later. The site of the championship game will be bid out the way the NFL does with the Super Bowl. The four teams will be chosen by a selection committee, similar to the way the NCAA basketball tournament field is set. Who exactly will be on that committee has yet to be determined. The basketball committee has 10 mem- bers and is made up of conference commissioners and college athletic directors. Neinas said the football selection committee will probably need to be larger so anyone with ties to a conference or team being discussed can be recused. Even if the presidents sign off on the commissioners’ plan by the end of the day, there are still details to be worked out, beyond how to pick a selection committee. The semifinal sites will See COLLEGE ‌| 8 Chapman completes URG baseball career Bryan Walters bwalters@mydailytribune.com RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Ryan Chapman —a 2008 salutorian and graduate of Southern High School — recently completed a stellar four-year collegiate career with the University of Rio Grande baseball program. Chapman played in 85 games over his four seasons with the RedStorm, earning 16 wins and 20 saves while posting a career ERA of 3.31 over 190.1 innings of work. Chapman tied the school record for saves in a season during his junior campaign with nine and also received second team Mid-South Conference as a freshman and senior. Chapman — who maintained a 3.59 GPA in education as an intervention specialist — received AllMSC Academic honors in all four seasons at URG and was also named to the 2012 Capital One Academic AllDistrict squad. Chapman was also a three-time team representative for the NAIA Champions of Character. One of the main highlights of Chapman’s collegiate career came during his sophomore campaign, as the RedStorm advanced to the NAIA National Tournament while setting a schoolrecord for wins with 48. Chapman has spent the last two summers playing amateur baseball for the Harrisonburg (Va.) Turks and returned to Harrisonburg this summer to be an assistant coach. He will be continuing his education at URG this coming year and will be a volunteer coach with the RedStorm baseball program. Ryan is the son of C.T. and Tammy Chapman of Syracuse.

If that happens, it would be the first time two schools accounted for eight first-rounders — possibly in the first 20 picks — in the same draft since the NBA went to its current two-round format in 1989. And the number could grow to as high as 10. Kentucky “brought in a lot of guys, but what was great about the talent was the way they were able to play with each other,” said Ryan Blake, senior director of NBA scout- ing operations. “I think that’s what’s so valuable — not just the physical skill side, but the ability to play the roles in the team format. “North Carolina also brought in enormous talent and they were able to work on their games for a number of years. It’s just unusual. I don’t know if it’ll be done again.” On the Kentucky side, forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could go See DRAFT |‌ 10 OVP Sports Briefs Tri-County junior golfers complete Week 4 Wahama HOF reminder MASON, W.Va. — The Wahama High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee would like to issue a reminder that nominations for the 2012 class of the WHS Hall of Fame selection process will expire on Sunday, July 1.

For additional information or to sign your Staff Report GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — It was a beautiful Monday for the fourth round of the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League held at the Cliffside Golf Course in the Old French City. The young men and women responded to the weather by providing exciting golf, including a three-man playoff, to determine both the weekly and season winners for the various age groups. Dylan Tayengco of Point Pleasant had already secured the season championship in the 10-and-under age group shot his best score of the year, a 41, to win the weekly trophy. However, Maddux Camden from Rio Grande gave Dylan serious competition for the weekly prize by shooting 46 for the See BRIEFS ‌| 8 day. Maddux improved his previous weeks score by 21 strokes. Maddux finished in second place for the season. Bryce Tayengco, Dylan’s older brother, won his third weekly first place trophy by shooting 44 which was his best score of the year. The weekly victory gives Bryce the season championship in the 11-12 age group. Jonah Hoback of Racine, playing in only his second tournament of the year, finished second to Bryce for the week and the season. Newcomer Carl Sayre of Letart won the third place trophy for the day’s competition. The 13-14 year old age group had close finishes throughout the year and the fourth round was not any different. Jacob Hoback of Racine won the weekly trophy with a score of 51. The win also gives Jacob the season Championship. Logan Sheets of Bidwell won the second place weekly trophy posting a 54 for the day. Logan finished third in the race for the season championship. Jason Parissi from Gallipolis finished in third place for the week shooting a 55. However, the third place finsh earned Jared enough points to win second place for the season edging Logan by four points. Hunter Arthur of Gallipolis made her initial appearance in the girls division of this age group to win the weekly first place trophy. It took a three-man playoff to determine the weekly and season winners in the 15-17 year old age group. When the days scores were totaled, Seth Jarrell and Ethan Swain, both from Crown City, and Jordan Howell of Gallipolis, were tied for the day with 45 strokes each. Ethan won the first hole playoff giving him the weekly trophy and propelling him into third place for the season. Seth and Jordan finished in a tie for the second place postion in the weekly competition. Both will receive second place trophies. Seth’s second place finish gave him enough points tp edge Gus Slone of Crown City for the season championship by three points. Gus was not available to play in this tournament due to a work commitment. Gus finishes second in the season championship. Ryan Schenkelberg of Syracuse finished fourth in the days competition. Also playing was Zach Morris from Vinton, newcomer Logan Rosier from Gallipolis, and Cuyler Mills from Crown City.

Though you might respond with a strong answer, take a second look to see where there is room for improvement. Good will marks the end results. Tonight: A long-overdue decision. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Maintain a sense of direction, no matter what. You could be exhausted and tired, especially if you encounter a difficult situation or person. Relax and trust yourself; you’ll come out on top. Tonight: Relax at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Let your creativity flourish, and allow greater give-and-take. A loved one could be testing your limits to see your reaction. Deal with others individually when handling an issue. A group meeting might seem easier, but don’t go that way. Tonight: Let more romance in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Go back to basics rather than struggle with an existing situation. You could feel as if you pushed too far with an important partner. Remain more understanding right now. More is about to be revealed. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Make an effort to get to the bottom of a problem. A superficial Band-Aid might work for the moment, but not in the long run. Listen to your instincts with a difficult associate. This person might not change for a while, nor does he or she have any interest in doing that. Tonight: Accept an invi- tation for dinner and fun.

Recognize that, on some level, you are feeding that behavior. Detach, and do not get caught up in a problem. Tonight: Out having fun.

Give yourself some space from a controlling individual, and you will feel much better; nearly everywhere else you are appreciated. Why not head in that direction for now? Tonight: Make nice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Pull back if you keep hitting an impasse. You do not need to do/ say something over and over to convince someone of how right you are. Let this person think what he or she wants. Your opinions make no difference, in any case. Tonight: Play it low-key. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Focus on the possibilities, especially those involving a friendship and/or a long-term objective. Caring will be expressed at the appropriate moment. Stay on top of a money matter. Try to avoid a struggle, but do not be anyone’s fool. Tonight: End a grudge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others appreciate your efforts. Take a stand for what you believe is right. Remember that what feels right for you often might not be so for others. Honor your differences rather than try to eliminate them. Be accepting instead of judgmental. Tonight: A long-overdue discussion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might feel quite huffy and/or controlling, but detaching to take a view of the big picture is worth it. Listen to news with an open mind and don’t worry so much about what is in it for you. Tonight: Read between the lines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with people on an individual level right now. You could be overwhelmed in a meeting and unable to present your ideas with the same power.

The overriding messages: Control your destiny. Don’t make our mistakes. Adam “Pacman” Jones warned about the trappings of fame. Michael Vick spoke candidly about his dog-fighting conviction, 23 months locked in a federal prison and a second chance. Ex-NBA player Chris Herren detailed his descent into heroin’s horror. Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has taken it all in during the rookie symposium, processing every word as if he was learning a new play — this one being the X’s and O’s of life. “It would be easy to walk into those meetings and not listen and say, ‘I’m not that guy,’” Griffin said, “because a lot of guys on that stage said the same thing when they heard another guy in the past come in and talk to them and say, ‘I’m not that guy, it will never happen to me.’ “You take what they say, apply it to your own life and if you think ‘I’m not that guy’ at least you listened to them. You can only learn from your mistakes and others mistakes.” Griffin is making the most of the NFL’s four-day orientation program — now in its 15th year — for the league’s newest players, some of whom may think they know what’s ahead but in truth have little idea about what they’ll face as professional athletes. Griffin’s learning quickly. On Monday, a former Baylor basketball player was arraigned in Waco, Texas, on federal extortion charges for allegedly threatening to release “derogatory information” about Griffin unless the Heisman Trophy winner paid him a “substantial sum” of money. According to court documents, Richard Khamir Hurd, 25, contacted a representative from a St. Louis agency, threatening to publicize derogatory information about a client unless he was paid. The representative is identified in documents only by the initials B.D. Griffin’s agent is St. Louis-based Ben Dogra. Hurd met at a Waco business Friday with someone who agreed to handle the transaction. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, handing over the information and receiving a check, Hurd was arrested by an undercover FBI agent. During a youth skills clinic and barbeque on Tuesday at the Cleveland Browns’ facility, Griffin declined to comment on specifics of the case, but said his situation is a prime example of what young players have to guard against. “You’ve got to be careful who you trust,” Griffin said. “There’s vultures out there, people who are looking to climb on top of all your money.” Griffin said the candid speeches given by Jones and Vick resonated with him. They were speaking from experience and truth, not simply mouthing words from a manual or because they sounded good.

Draft From Page 6 right behind Davis at No. 2 and doesn’t seem likely to slip out of the top seven. Blake expects forward Terrence Jones to go anywhere from No. 6 to No. 15, while guard Marquis Teague is likely a mid-to-late firstround pick. As for North Carolina, Blake expects Harrison Barnes to go somewhere between No. 3 and No. 10, long-armed forward John Henson between No. 5 and No. 15, and 7-footer Tyler Zeller between No. 6 and No. 20. Blake said point Kendall Marshall, regarded as one of the top point guards in the draft, is a likely mid-to-late first-rounder. Kentucky’s Doron Lamb and Darius Miller also have a chance to be first-round selections. Since the NBA went to a two-round draft in 1989, only four schools — Duke in 1999, North Carolina in 2005, Connecticut in 2006 and Kentucky in 2010 — have had at least four firstround picks in the same draft, with the Wildcats setting a record with five two years ago, according to STATS LLC. The closest two schools came to accounting for eight first-round picks was when Florida and Ohio State each had three in 2007. The schools had five of the first nine selections — including top overall pick Greg Oden, Al Horford and Joakim Noah — and the sixth coming in at No. 21. This year’s haul could even create some lighthearted competition in the green room of players waiting to hear their name called. “I’m hoping we get four in the lottery before they get four in the lottery,” Barnes said during a recent workout for the Charlotte Bobcats. “It would be great, obviously. I mean, it’s fun to go to the draft, but it’s even more fun when you have your teammates with you. Potentially having four people in the green room from the same team, it would be a lot of fun, that we all reach our goals together.” Kentucky’s Davis, KiddGilchrist and Teague are one-and-dones, while Jones and Lamb entered the draft as sophomores. Miller was a senior. Kentucky coach John Calipari wasn’t ruling out the chance that all six could go in the first round. “My hope is all six, but I don’t know,” Calipari said earlier this month. “I would be surprised if four are not. I would say four are locks and the other two have to go work out.” North Carolina’s Barnes and Marshall entered the draft as sophomores, Henson as a junior and Zeller a senior. For Tar Heels coach Roy Williams, it will mark the third time in eight years that his program will produce four picks in the same draft. His 2005 squad had four of the top 14 picks after winning a national championship, while the 2009 squad that won the NCAA title had three first-rounders and one second-rounder. “I’m loving it for them,” Williams said of this year’s quartet. “I’ll be very excited for all of them. It’s a pretty neat deal to sit there and see four kids that you really think a lot of reach one of their biggest dreams if not their biggest dream. … I’m going to be looking at it like a parent, looking at it like a coach, and even like a fan at the same time. It’ll be exciting for me.” When the teams met in Rupp Arena in December, the game drew 27 scouts or general managers representing 20 NBA teams. Kentucky won that game 73-72 when Davis blocked Henson’s jumper for the win. All eight projected firstround picks were on the court for those frantic final seconds. Most of them will reunite again backstage in Newark, N.J., on Thursday. “It is crazy,” Blake said. “That’s a load of talent.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
