BY MATIHEW LEE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - The Obama administration on Wednesday slapped new sanctions on several affiliates of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps amid steppedup efforts to get U.N. penalties against Tehran because of its nuclear and missile programs.

Nine former inmates said in the lawsuit the state was making it harder to meet the conditions of their release by not adequately helping them obtain housstamps. ing. food Medicaid. disability benefits and other assistance. The suit says inmates with mental illness often are released into communities that have few services for psychiatric disorders and pnsoners are often not assigned to meet a doctor for months after their release. The result is a revolving door that leads to mentally ill inmates returning to prison at a much higher rate than other inmates, ra1srng concerns about public safety and the expense to taxpayers of reincarcerating the individuals, according to the suit filed by the Cincinnatibased Ohio Justice and Policy Center. "This is a very vulnerable, very ill population:· said Bess Okum, a staff attorney at the center. ''We have a responsibility to deal with this population in a humane manner." The lawsuit. which names the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and the Department of Mental Health, seeks to force the :,tate to address the alleged deficiencies. One in every five inmates in Ohio prisons is being treated for mental illness, or nearly 10,000 of the state's 50.000 prisoners. Julie Walburn. a prisons department spokeswoman. said Wednesday. She said the agency hadn't seen the lawsuit and couldn't comment. A message was left with the state Mental Health Department. The prisons department requires mentally ill inmates to be referred to a Mental Health Department social worker. The state's inmate release plan also requires the prison to help inmates who will be homeless figure out what to do and help prisoners with disabilities apply for government benefits. The plan includes ways to help inmates apply for Medicaid but does not mention food stamps . Walburn said the prison wouldn't know before an inmate is released if he's eligible for food stamps. A parole officer helps offenders contact social service agencies when needed after release, she said. Okum said inmates also are covered by the federal Americans With Disabilities Act, which makes them potentially eligible for a broad a1Tay of services. Similar lawsuits have been filed in recent years involving state prisons and jails in New Mexico. New York and Chicago. A 2007 lawsuit now in settlement negotiations alleges the state of New York released inmates with psychiatric problems from the structured environment of prison onto the streets of New York City "with little to no preparation." eight years.

Indiana. meanwhile. went scoreless over the last 6:07, leaving the Hoosiers in a 34-20 halftime deficit. Indiana got as close as 44-34 early in the second half, but Ohio State again took control inside. The Buckeyes scored four straight points and then made four straight free throws that i~nited a 14-3 run to make 1t 58-37 with 11 minutes to play. That's when fans began filing out, and the Hoosiers never challenged again. "The first few possessions. we were like a windshield wiper with our offense and we were talking about getting inside the defense," Matta said. "All of a sudden the guys started moving little bit more, and the forces them to make some decisions about do I go or do I stay and Will was able to punch the gaps and get in there." Michael Phelps and Michael Jordan. "Everybody deserves their time in the sun, their time in the spotlight." Johnson said. "At the end of last year. that spotlight was bright and I enjoyed . every minute of it. I'm not worried. When it comes back the end of the year, I want to be in that spotlight for another championship." For a change, Johnson is the preseason pick to repeat. According to a media poll. Jonnson is the favorite to win the 2010 championship. The la<>t time Johnson was the preseason favorite. in 2005. he finished fifth in points. "I'm thinkin~ it might be a curse," he said. "We'll see how it turns out. It is cool. It's a great honor. I'm excited to see it. Last ~ear, I wasn't sure whY. I wasn t picked.It's great until you hit the track. then you have to prove that you are the guy. It could be us. It could be a Roush car. It could be a Childress car. You just don't know." No one really knows. But unless one of his competitors takes Johnson into a dark alley. the four-time champion probably will be in the mix once agam tllis season. "The difference between Jimmie and everybody else is all the other teams might do it one year out of four or five. but they're able to do it year after year after year," Carl Edwards said. "It's insane." "That was so much fun to make." Howard wrote on his blog. "I would love to do something like that during a game." . He nearly did during last season's Eastern Conference finals. when Game 1 in Cleveland was delayed for nearly 10 minutes after Howard knocked down the 24-second shot clock with a ferocious dunk. ''I've broken a few rims when I was in high school:· Howard wrote, "but nothing like blowing up the backboard." The Cavaliers (42-11) have been handling opponents throughout the first half. Cleveland will carry the NBA's best record into the All-Star break. "We've been playing well,'' Shaquille O'Neal said. "LeBron and I have pretty much the same formula: Stay dominant at home, beat teams you're supposed to beat and play above .500 on the road. Most of the time if you do that, things will go your way." O'Neal. who has thrown a few verbal jabs at Howard in the past, could only remember winning at least 12 straight games two other times in his career. Both of those seasons ended with championships. "Hopefully this is deja vu of what's to come," he said. The Cavaliers acquired O'Neal over the summer for precisely these types of matchups. Howard averaged 25.8 pomts and 13 rebounds in the East finals against Cleveland. which didn't have a center physically strong enough to contain him. • So Cleveland went out got one. O'Neal. who has tweaked Howard for using Shaq 's "Superman·· nickname, limited Howard to 11 points and seven rebounds in the first meetin& this season. The veteran 0 Neal is done taking shots at Ho\vard. even call ing him one of the league's few ~reat centers. "Its going to be a good matchup,'' O'Neal said. ··Hopefully they play me one on one and hopefully they let us play. "But it ain't about me vs. him. I've played against some of the greatest guys ever and I've stood up (to them). If 1 can stand against them. I can stand against anyone."

National Briefs Browns hire Haskell as adviser to Holmgren CLEVELAND (AP) - Former assistant coach Gil Haskell has been hired to be Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren 's senior adviser. Haskell and Holmgren previously worked together with the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers. The Browns on Wednesday did not specify the 66-year-old Haskell's role. Holmgren took over as Cleveland's president last month. Haskell served as Holmgren's offensive coordinator for nine seasons in Seattle, and spent the final two seasons as assistant head coach. Before joining the Seahawks, Haskell was Carolina's offensive coordinator for two seasons. With the Packers, Haskell coached running backs ana wide receivers. OSU's Pryor has arthroscopic surgery on right knee COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Team spokeswoman Shelly Poe confirms that Pryor had what she calls routine surgery. She says it will require only minimal rehabilitation and if the Buckeyes had a game next week, Pryor would be available to play. A heralded recruit out of Jeannette. Pa .. Pryor has started for Ohio State the past two seasons. He capped his sophomore season with a terrific performance in the Rose Bowl last month, passing for a careerhigh 266 yards and two touchdowns against Oregon. He also rushed for 72 more and threw a 17-yard scoring pass · to seal a 26-17 victory. Johnson fromPageBl around him." Indeed, Johnson has essentially clinched each of his titles without having to do much in the final race. His latest title came amid more attention than any of the others, and he drew comparisons to such athletes as Tiger Woods. Roger Federer. Cavs from PageBl "Business is a big part of what I do.'' he said. ·•J don't bring my on-court battles off the court.'' In the spot that aired just prior to Sunday's kickoff between Indianapolis and New Orleans. James and Howard recreated the classic commercial between Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. In the original. Jordan and Bird traded crazy trick shots from inside- and outside - the gym. In the remake, James and Howard traded dunks, with Howard ultimately ripping down the backboard as glass shattered around them. THURSDAY TELEVISION GUIDE Cleveland Cavs plan to restore water fountains CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland Cavaliers plan to reinstall drinking fountains at the team's arena after having removed them in November as part of an effort to prevent the spread of swme flu and other illnesses , a team spokesman said Wednesday. Concessions stands will continue to offer free cups of water at Quicken Loans Arena, said spokesman Tad Carper. He said the arena also will have staffed "water stations" beginning with Thursday night's Cavaliers game against Orlando until the new fountains are in place. "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documents that the typical peak month for the flu season is February. We currently project installing new fountains as soon as possible near the end of February ... Carper said in a statement. David Cooper. deputy director of Cleveland's Building and Housing Department. says the arena would have been required to obtain a permit to remove the fountains. It plans to submit an application to reinstall them, he said. The Ohio Department of Commerce says the state building code requires one fountain for every I .000 occupants. Carper said arena officials discussed the temporary removal of the site's 18 water fountains with local health authorities in the fall. "We received positive feedback that we could move forward with those plans. given the current public health landscape and the non-permanent nature of the precautions," he said. A message ::;eeking comment was left late Wednesday afternoon with Matthew Carroll, director of the city's public health department.

British Columbia (AP) What if the Miracle on lee players had Twitter accounts? Or if the sprinters who raised their gloved fists on the medal stand could have shared their thoughts on Facebook? Thanks to laptops, cell phones and other new technology. social networking could b~ the route the next transformativc Olympian uses to get the word out. Skaters, skiers, hockey players and the reporters who cover them now have almost instant access to thetr fans and readers at what has long been. for better and worse. one of the most grandiose stages for me~­ sage-sending. When the torch is lit Friday. tt will mark the beginning of the Twitter Olympics era - the first games where social networking and sports collide on a global platfom1 that only the Olympics can provide. "I'm sure I'll be flooding tons of photos and tons of stories and glimpses from behind the scenes," said Shaun White. the defending Olympic halfpipe gold medalist. ''Because. really. what an interesting and cool time to be sharing with everyone." White is among the hundreds of athletes who have Twitter and Facebook accounts or spaces on similar sites - with plans to use them over the 17-day sports festival. They will give friends. family. fans and. yes. reporters updates on their training and competition. random musings. pictures. links to their Web sites and other peeks behind the Olympic curtain that the public can't usually see. It will save them time on the phone. help them build their fan base and allow them to get their message out, unfiltered by the socalled traditional media. It might also serve up a bit of instant gratification when the grind of training and waiting takes its toll. "I'm not a full addict like some people are." said American Nate Holland. one of the· favorites in snowboardcross, a sport added to the Olympic program to appeal to the same. young demographic that inspired the social networking boom. "But I like to give updates and definitely ~et those out to people." Holland said. "I can JUSt Facebook 'Best course ever.' and 20 minutes later there are a ton of replies and people cheering you on. It strokes the ego a little bit." Meanwhile, the traditional media is using social networking to try to build audiences that have been fragmenting of late. Reporters from The Associated Press. for Instance, will be tweeting from venues and using those posts to link readers to stories on hundreds of customers' Web sites. The AP also has a Winter Olympics Facebook page that includes a mix of stories from its traditional wire service and short blog entries from on-site repmters. "Like many media companies. we are trying new methods to disseminate and gather information - in this case from athletes and others attending the Olympics." said Lou Ferrara. AP's managing editor for sports. entertainment and interactive media. "We want to give the audience what it wants and where they want it." Of course, with technology comes confu- Erika Schultz/Seattle Tlmes/MCT BC Place Stadium, pictured January 4, will host the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Games. sion. and there's already been some of that. Knowing the social networking craze \Vas coming. the International Olympic Committee put out a four-page blogging guideline that supplements Rule 49 of the Olympk charter, which essentially states that only joumalists can act as journalists at the games. while athletes and coaches cannot. The addendum says blogs are permitted, so long as they are diary-like in nature. don't include live action or ceremonies and don't give "newsy" updates. such as injury reports or information about rivaling countries. Bob Condron. spokesman at the U.S. Olympic Committee. said Twitter posts with their abbreviation-inducing 140-character limits - are considered allowable by the IOC, which didn't specifically mention that site in its rules. "The IOC considers blogging. in accordance with these Guidelines. as a legitimate form of personal expression and not as a form of journalism." the rule states. Prohibited in that personal form of expression, however. are any attempts to promote non-Olympic sponsors - a sticking point between the Olympic powers and the athletes who often struggle to cash in on the success of their Olympic journeys. Oh. and there is the ever-present reminder not to use the Olympics as a political stage - a rule that has long been the crux of a sticky debate about whether the Olympics are just a simple sports festival. or something much more. "It was pretty crazy to :-ee what \\e are not allowed to do or supposed to say." said short-track speedskater J .R Celski. a frc- quent tweeter. "No advertising and just making sure you are positive. but it's understandable." Lindsey Vonn recently told her 35.000plus followers that she would not be posting Twitter updates because of Olympic blackout rules - then came back a day later and said she would. "Contrary to what I was told it turns out that I am allowed to continue to tweet and face book during the Olympics!!" she wrote on Facebook. "Yay!! I have to follow very specific rules though:( Did you guys really think you were going to get rid 0f me that easily?! I'm back baby!" But when news of her injured shin broke - an update that could not only impact her. but the entire tenor of the Olympics - there was no mention of it on her Twitter feed. Instead. Vonn revealed the news in an interview with NBC, which bankrolls the Olympic movement to the tune of $2 billion over four years. While Vonn graces the cover of Sports Illustrated and has sponsors aplenty. athletes such as Jeret "Speedy" Peterson are always looking for ways to get the word out. Peterson, the aerials skier whose trademark "Hurricane" jump could give him his 15 minutes of fame come Feb. 22. is at 2.000 fans and climbing on Facebook - and knows the Olympics could be his last. best chance to augment the fan base. "It's free. it's instantaneous and it's real," he said. "It's my message and it's not filtered. That kind of convenience is a huge thing for people." Convenient as it can be. a surprising number of athletes said they wanted to enjoy the experience without laptops and cell phones getting in the way. "I want to give my country respect and be involved in the· moment and soak it up as much as I can." said snowboardcross rid. Lindsey Jacobellis. Many athletes insist that, once the games start ..their actual performance - not updating people about their pe1formance - must come first. But that doesn't mean they won't have anything to say. "It's like an instantaneous thought of what you are doing on the move, usually from your cell phone. so it's a very kind of short. pure. raw view of what people are up to," said U.S. Nordic combined skier Billy Demong. who recently bought a helmet-cam so he could post video of his training. By doing whatever the) have time for. it's almost a sure thing that more information will be available in more formats. Heck. even the IOC Web site has links to Twitter and Facebook. What has yet to be seen is whether the information will spark something transformative - think sprinters John Carlos and Tommie Smith raising their fists on the podium in the pre-cell-phone days of 1968 - or wind up only as more noise in the machine. "I guess they have the opportunity to express their feelings and emotions on th. computer," Carlos said. "That in itself woul be a statement made. But my thing \vas very clear. I don't know if they could express the statement we made in Mexico on the computer." Daytona sees opening between Super Bowl, Olympics Vonn questions whether DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. (AP) As NASCAR's biggest race of the year. the Daytona 500 isn't used to being the attention-starved kid turning back flips in the corner and yelling. "Look at me!" This year, they might want to have Carl Edwards on call. With mainstream sports fans still talking about the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl win and the Winter Olympics kicking off on Friday, there's a chance Sunday's race could be overlooked by the casual fans NASCAR typically hopes to draw to its big event. But Fox Sports chairman David Hill isn't concerned. predicting that changes NASCAR has made to spice up the show this year will bring in a big rating for Sunday's race. "I think it's fantastic. what they've done." Hill said. "Again. it gets back to them listening to the fans. And the fans said this is what we want to see." NASCAR officials are confident that their big event can break through the clutter. "I think we'll be in good shape," NASCAR chief marketing officer Steve Phelps said. "It's the Daytona 500. It's one of the most iconic sporting events of the year. I think we'll do pretty well. The Super Bowl's kind of its own thing, and the Olympics are a big deal as well.l think people will tune into the Daytona 500 and get us started on the right foot." NASCAR already was concerned with a recent decline in at-track attendance and sagging television ratings, and took steps to add excitement this season. They've authonzed a bigger restrictor plate to add horsepower at Daytona and done away with regulations on aggressive. bumper banging "bump drafting." 4 she will race at Olympics Stephen M. Dowell/Orlando Sentlnei/MCT Dale Earnhardt, Jr. drives his race car during qualifying for the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Saturday. • And when it comes to governing drivers' behavior. NASCAR officials claim they have a new attitude: Have at it. boys. "i think we got to the point where we got too conservative and too corporate-minded." driver Tony Stewart said. "And even corporate America has kind of said ... 'It's all right to go ahead and loosen the reins a little bit.' I think NASCAR is really smart and conscious of that." Oh. and don't forget about Danicamania. The arrival of Da.1ica Patrick. the lndyCar star whose combination of racin~ success and good looks has allowed her to transcend her sport and become a household nam~. is trying her hand at NASCAR on a part-time basis this season. After a well-received sixthplace finish in a relatively low-profile ARCA race at Daytona last Saturday. Patrick decided to give it a shot in this Saturday's Nationwide series race - an appettzer for the Daytona 500 that will feature several of the Cup series' top drivers. When it comes to atlracting mainstream attention, another week of Danica hype certainly can't hurt NASCAR. "I would say in general. her <:oming here is going to be beneficial. hecause she'll bring folks who have never seen~ our !-ttyle of racing." Phelps said. "And they'll watch her race hen:, and we know they'll fall in love with the racin2 because it's the best racing in the world. That will be helpful lor us, and v.·e're excited about it." Bevond that. NASCAR is enthusiastic about the bigpicture steps officials have taken to make the sport more exciting this vear. And they've done it with direct fan input. Stung by criticism that they've ignored the concems of their hard-core fans in an attempt to cater more to casual fans. NASCAR has created an online fan council consisting of 12,000 of its most avid fans to use as a sounding board. One resounding message they've heard from surveys: NASCAR should take a more hands-off approach to driver behavior. "We regulate the sport for ~afety and make sure the mlcs are followed." Phelps said. "But listen - have at it boys. God bless you. Go out and ra<:e. And we'll do that within reason. You're not going to be able to run over a guy. But it's exciting. and you can feel that enthusia-;m from the fans. And you saw it. candidly. in ticket sales (at Daytona). It's great. They'IJ have a full house here." While NASCAR certainly face-; stiff competition for attention thb week. fom1er thiver Kyle Petty says having Daytona wedged between the Super Bowl and the Olympics could be a positive. "I think you need to promote vourself as. these arc the three big ev.:!nts." Petty :-aid. "The three biggest e\ents in sports in the United States in 2010 were the Super Bowl, Daytona 500 and the Olympics. You have to put yourself up on the plateau with them." VANCOUVER. British Columbia (AP) - Lindsey Vonn is won·ied a badly bruised tight shin will keep her out of the Vancouver a stm1ling Olympics. announcement so close to the stru1 of an event shaping ur. as a showcase for the U.S. skiing star. Vonn revealed Wednesday that she was injured in a slalom training run Feb. 2 during pre-Olympic practice in Austiia. It was her first trip down the slopes of what was supposed to be three days of practice. "I'm sitting here today questioning whether. you know. I'll be even able to ski." Vonn said at a news conference. "I have to play it by ear." As a two-time reig~ing overall World Cup champton. the 25-year-old who lives and trains in Vail. Colo .. ha-; been considered a contender to win multiple medals. Asked whether she could be forced to sit out altogether. Vom1 replied: "Yeah. that's a possibility." She hasn't skied since getting hm1 and said it's even been painful to simply put on a pair of ski boots in her hotel room to test the leg. Vonn said the bmising covers about a 6inch swath of her lower 1ight leg - starting from where the top of a boot rests ~gainst her body - but she re1used to get ~my X-rays to check whether she broke a bone because she didn't want to know. "It's probably the worst place that you can have an mjmy, because you're constantly pushing against your boot. and there's no way around it." Vonn said. She desclibed her mindset as "very emotional. very scared. Not the positive way you \Vant to be stru1ing the Olympics." The first women's Alpine race is the super-combined on Sunday. Vonn said she figures she will know a lot more about her status for the Olympics once she takes a tun down the slope at Whistler Mountain. The fu·st official training run for women is Thursday. Vonn is slated to compete in all five women's Alpine events and has been widely seen as the fa\Orite to win gold medals in the speed events: downhill and super-G. She 1s no stranger to injmies - or to ign01ing them on the slopes. • At the 2006 Turi 91ymJ?ics. she took a hruTowmg sptll at somewhere around 50 mph in downhill training. a fall that bmised her back and sent her to the hospital. Less than 48 hours later. Vonn then known as Lindsey Kildow. because she wasn t married - wa.;; back in the starting ~ate and finished eighth m tne dO\\ nhill. This season. in late December. she lost control during a World Cup giant slalom in Austria. thudded to the ground and \vorried she had broken her left wrist. It turned out it was a bad bntise. but Vonn was right back out there racing in a slalom the next moming. wearing a brace to protect the tender run1 . Less thru\ two weeh later. she was stringing together a three-race \\inning ~treak. Earlier that month, Vonn's. knee slammed into her chin as she sped down a downhill in Lake Loui,c. Alberta, makin. her teeth chomp on h tongu~. causing blood to pou out of a corner of her mouth as she crossed the tinish line. "I've dealt with a Jot of injuries in the past. and I've always been able to per-severe." Vonn said Wednesday. "I hope I'm able to push through the pain and I'm able to stin ski OK. I won't reallY know until tomorrow. when~~ actually get on skis. and they can actually assess the situation and see how bad it is." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
