WASHINGTON President Barack Obama freed billions of dollars to help the nation's small busi; nesses on Monda:y, hoping to get credit flow mg again to Main Street, not just Wall Street. He heaped praise on the little guys of American industry. often overshadowed in the blitz of govern· ment bailouts. The centerpiece of Obama's latest plan will allow the government to spend up to $15 billion to · buy the small-business loans that are now choking community- · banks and lenders.·That. in tum. ~uld allow those banks to stan lending money again to small companies · to invest, pay bills and stay afloat. ''You deserve a chance. America needs you io have a chance." Obama said in an appeal to all those who run small businesses or· hope to oneday. · Obama's effort was, at one level, fundamental to . helping the economy rebound. Small businesses have created about 70 percent of the new jobs over the past decade, and as their credit lines have dried up, so has their ability to thrive · or survive. There was also a political component to all the atten-· tion the president gave to small busmesses. The White House is aware of the nation's bailout fatigue; hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars have gone to prop up finapcial giants who made poor decisions, while many others who . have done no wrong have paid the price. So Obama made clear to show he was on the side of everyda:y entrepreneurs. He sa1d small busmesses "are the · bean of the American economy" and "the heart of the American dream" and the core of "America's story." Meanwhile, the president · pledged to try to stop American International Group. the bailed-out insurance giant, from paying $165 million in executive bonuses. The revelation of that bonus pay, coming from a struggling company that has . received more than $170 bill ion in federal rescue dollars. has evoked disgust. "I mean, how do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keepinf. the company afloat? ' Obama said. He directed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to pursue every legal means to block the bonuses. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs sa1d later the administration would modify the tenns of a pending $30 billion bailout installment for AIG to protect taxpayers. Obama's primary focus was on leaders of small companies and community lenders. He met with some privately in the White House's Roosevelt Room and cited their stories as inspiration as he announced · his details in the East Room. Nonnally. primary bank lenders can issue loans to small businesses and 'then sell those loans to what's 'known as a secondary market of bigger bankers. The sales allow the community lenders to make even more loans · and keep the credit cycle going. But that isn't happening. Skittish investors have been staying away. So under Obama's plan, the go~ernment will Start buying up many of the loans directly, with tenns to be · worked out as soon as the end of the month. The $15 billion will come from a bailout plan already approved by Congress to rescue the financial sector. Obama · aides say the plan will offer fast, direct help. On Capitol Hill, House Republican Leader John· Boehner was unmoved. He called Obama 's White House event "simply an attempt to provide political cover for the job-killing burden the president's budget would place on our nation 's small businesses.'' The House Republican whip, Eric . Cantor of Vuginia. said Obama's plan was welcome. but he pre'dicted it would affect only a small portion of the loan market for sm'all businesses. leaving others and their workers "in the cold."

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama freed billions of dollars to help the nation's small busi; nesses on Monda:y, hoping to get credit flow mg again to Main Street, not just Wall Street. He heaped praise on the little guys of American industry. often overshadowed in the blitz of govern· ment bailouts. The centerpiece of Obama's latest plan will allow the government to spend up to $15 billion to · buy the small-business loans that are now choking community- · banks and lenders.·That. in tum. ~uld allow those banks to stan lending money again to small companies · to invest, pay bills and stay afloat. ''You deserve a chance. America needs you io have a chance." Obama said in an appeal to all those who run small businesses or· hope to oneday. · Obama's effort was, at one level, fundamental to . helping the economy rebound. Small businesses have created about 70 percent of the new jobs over the past decade, and as their credit lines have dried up, so has their ability to thrive · or survive. There was also a political component to all the atten-· tion the president gave to small busmesses. The White House is aware of the nation's bailout fatigue; hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars have gone to prop up finapcial giants who made poor decisions, while many others who . have done no wrong have paid the price. So Obama made clear to show he was on the side of everyda:y entrepreneurs. He sa1d small busmesses "are the · bean of the American economy" and "the heart of the American dream" and the core of "America's story." Meanwhile, the president · pledged to try to stop American International Group. the bailed-out insurance giant, from paying $165 million in executive bonuses. The revelation of that bonus pay, coming from a struggling company that has . received more than $170 bill ion in federal rescue dollars. has evoked disgust. "I mean, how do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keepinf. the company afloat? ' Obama said. He directed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to pursue every legal means to block the bonuses. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs sa1d later the administration would modify the tenns of a pending $30 billion bailout installment for AIG to protect taxpayers. Obama's primary focus was on leaders of small companies and community lenders. He met with some privately in the White House's Roosevelt Room and cited their stories as inspiration as he announced · his details in the East Room. Nonnally. primary bank lenders can issue loans to small businesses and 'then sell those loans to what's 'known as a secondary market of bigger bankers. The sales allow the community lenders to make even more loans · and keep the credit cycle going. But that isn't happening. Skittish investors have been staying away. So under Obama's plan, the go~ernment will Start buying up many of the loans directly, with tenns to be · worked out as soon as the end of the month. The $15 billion will come from a bailout plan already approved by Congress to rescue the financial sector. Obama · aides say the plan will offer fast, direct help. On Capitol Hill, House Republican Leader John· Boehner was unmoved. He called Obama 's White House event "simply an attempt to provide political cover for the job-killing burden the president's budget would place on our nation 's small businesses.'' The House Republican whip, Eric . Cantor of Vuginia. said Obama's plan was welcome. but he pre'dicted it would affect only a small portion of the loan market for sm'all businesses. leaving others and their workers "in the cold."

Both district champions have had tremendous seasons to get to this point of the postseason, and neither Southern ( 16-6) nor _Oak Hill (21-2) will be ready to let this magical 'campaign come to a close without a fight. And in a matchup of similar-but;contrasting styles. tonight - as they say could get very interesting at Ohio University. The Oaks - who finished fourth in the final D-4 AP poll '- won the program's first outright Southern Ohio Conference Division II championship this winter. going 12-2 overall in league play. OHHS is also making its third consecutive appearance in the regional toumament,the only three regional basketball appearances ever for a boys basketball _team from Jackson County .

The · Oaks return their top seven players from a year ago and a!so have a roster containing stx semors. 1 OHHS third-year coach Norm Persin - who has a career mark of 569-151 in 32 seasons - has amassed a 56-16 record in his second stint as Oak Hill frontman. turning around a program that had just seven wins the previous three years before him. The Tornadoes - who have three regional championships in their illustrious history ouring seven previous appearances - finished runner-up in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division this winter at 6-4. And the 'Does. like Oak Hill. also have a victory over TVC Hocking champion Waterford this season. The Purple and Gold enter tonight looking to make the most of their first regional appearance since 1988. when . current . SHS coach Jeff Caldwell was a player on that squad. Caldwell - who has a career mark of 137-94 in II seasons - has amassed a 29-15 record at Southern in his two seasons with the pro- . gram. The Tornadoes were 10-31 overall in the two seasons · before Caldwell's return to his alma mater. _ Both teams will go aboul seven to eight players deep_ and both clubs rely heavily on fundamental defense and a balanced offense , but that is where the similarities end when it comes to these two squads. The Oaks have eight.players on their 14-man roster who are 6-foot-2 or taller. including five underneath wbo are at least 6-foot-3. Oak Hill likes to use its size to its advantage. focusing on the interior game offensively while playing either a 2-3 or 1-2-2 zone on defense .

Hale. is next with 10.3 points. followed by Ondera with eight and Slone with 4.7 points . · The Tornadoes go with more of an up-tempo style, having only one player Tar Heels barely got by Virginia Tech before falling to Aorida State. With DeJuan Blair parked on tbe bench in foul trouble, Pittsburgh looked downright onlinary in losing to West Virginia in the Big East tourney. Even Louisville has its flaws. Sure. it won the regular-season Big East title, but who had them as a No. 1 seed - let alone THE No. 1 seed - until the Cardinals added the conference tournament crown, one of the few teams to survive last week's carnage? Forget the Motor City. It might be a feat for all the No. Is to make it to the regional finals. "I think UCorm, if they play right, they should have smooth sailing, but other than that. I'm kind of a believer that anything can happen," said Blake Griffin. whose Oklahoma Sooners are the No. 2 seed in the South. "It just depends on what kind o( team comes out to pia(" It's not JUSt the No. Is that are vulnerable, either; Look anywhere in the bracket' and there are trouble spots. Or opponunities. depending on who you ask. . "This year, I don't see much difference between a one and a four (seed) or a two and a seven. or a three and a six,". said Kansas coach Bill Self, who has both last ,year's national championship and that 2005 first-round loss to Bucknell on his resume. "I don't see much difference at all." Which is fitting, considering how this season has gone. The top ~pot in The Associated Press poll felt more like a bot potato fill' III05t of the year. Six different teams held the No. I ranking, with four losing in their first game after moving to No. I . Tbe top three teams lost in the same week not just once, but twice . Last week. all blit six oftbe .t op 25 telliDS lost. · No, that's not a !}?>· Of the 25 best teams m the country. 19 of them lost . That's the kind of thing you see in the rec league . . The top team dido 't win the league tournament in any of the power conferences unless you COUllt Memphis ..:.. and there are plenty wbo would argue the Tigers are the only power Conference USA has. (Calm down. Louis~ille fans. Yes, the Cardinals were the top seed in the Big East, but t!ley went into the tournament ranked behind Connecticut and Pittsburgh). ~The committee finally got used to the unexpected becoming the expected;· said Mike Slive, chair of the selection committee. "We'd come in and I mi~ht say on a given morning, Well; this is interesting.' And we'd start back in. ani) go at it." Indeed. the madness started well before March. Michigan beat UCLA and Duke. yet . needed overtime to get by· Savannah State. Oklahoma lost to Arkansas. Defending national champiKansas lost to on Massachusetts - at home. Those mighty Louisville Cardinals? Well, .there's a I~ to Western Kentucky_on thetr resume, to say nothtn!l of that 33"point blowout at the hands of Notre Dame. Those weren't the only wacky · moments in the standing . over 6-foot-3 on the 12-man roster. SHS during the regular season averaged 61.3 points per game while surrendenng 52.7 points. During the postseason, the Purple and Oold are also down in both de~,>ar~ments - scoring 55 pomts per game . while allowing 4.8.3 markers. · The 'Does had three players - Bryan Harris. Sean Cop,pick and Michael Manuel - average double figures in scoring during the regular season~ as well as a fourth - Weston Roberts - with over nine points a game. Coppick and Harris . have been a solid one-two punch in the tournament, as Coppick is leading the way with 11.3 points per game . while Harris averages . II markers. Manuel and Roberts are · respectively chipping in 9.7 and 6.7 points m the postseason, but the big man in the middle - John Brauer - has upped his production. Brauer averaged 5.4 points during the regular season, but is contributing 8.3 points over the last three g~Pl\es. beastly Big East. Syracuie may be capturing imaginations these days after lts thrilling six-ovenime wm a~ainst Connecticut in the B•g East tournament. biat remember. the Orange lost to Cleveland State ellrlier the year. At home. On a foot shot at the buzzer ;,.. more proof that. yes. anything really is possible ~s season. They say teams mature and get better as the sea59n goes on. But bow does that explain Wake Forest's steady slide from No . I ln the poll to No. 12? Or Texas going from a mucb-hyptd title contender to a No.: 7 seed? , • "N~llionwide, I think ~­ ty is here to stay. guys." Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said after the Spartat~s were upset by Ohio State in the semifinals of the Big Ten tourna.m ent. "1 thilik anybody can beat anybody. on a given night." . · And while that might give coaches fits. it sure is fl)n for the rest of us. The beauty of the NCAA tournamentisthateveryorie. big and small. has a shot )It winning the title. OK. so no 16th seed has ever beate~ a No. I. Memphis will rroliably run right over Ca Stqte Northridge 11nd the only folks with American over Villanova are likely the or¢s using mascots or uniform colors to make their picks; But there's always the possibility. And. until tbe balls go up, everybody has hope. : "There's 65 teams." Pittsburgh coach Jarr(ie Dixon said, "and every one of them thinks they C<\n win it:• : This year. more than evt;r. m ro. grams used to be affiliated with the now defu~t Southern Valley Athletic Conference: • Persin also appeared In seven regional finals during his 21 seasons ~t Chesapeake, but never advanced to state. · .

Both Valley and Minford also s.cored 65 points in each of those wins. Only three times this year has Oak Hill given up 58 points or more, with two of those being losses.

In their 16 wins, the Purple and Gold are scoring 63.4 points while surrendering 47.8 markers.

Arizona. even North Dakota 'State can bask in the same euphoria and hope as Louisville. Pittsburgh. Connecticut and North Carolina. There are 65 teams in the NCAA tournament. and every single one of them is thinking "Wby not me?" After the craziness in college basketball this year. who's to say any of them are wrong? "I really do think it's wide O(!Cn.'' Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Monday, "I think any of us can get beat. I don't think there's a domi. nant team out there." Jhis from the guy whose team was dubbed the best of the best, the overall No. I seed. A year after ali' four No. I seeds reached the Final Four in a tidy display of power. this tournament is shaping up to be more of a delightful mess with no dear favorite. In fact. with the exception of Louisville, all of the No. Is could just as easily have slipped to No. 2. ' Connecticut limps in on a two-game losing streak. though it shouldn 't be penalized for its six-over- · time loss to Syracuse in the Big East tournameni .. But the Huskies are just 4-3 .since Jerome Dyson went down with a knee injury, and they're not likely to get him back· for the toumament. For all the love Tyler Hansbrough gets, Nonh Carolina's hopes could hinge• on Ty Lawson's big toe. Lawson missed the ACC tournament . and the Regional fromPageBl OHHS ~ during the regular season - averaged 68 .4 points per game and allowed only 43. In the tournament, however, both of the numbers have dropped - as Oak Hill is scoring 41 points . and allowing . 28 through three postseason contests. The Oaks had four play, ers - . J.D. Hale, Kyle Ondera, Ryan Borden and Jesse-Stone - average double figures in scoring in the regular season, with Ondera and Borden being · the guards from that group. Borden has been the leader for OHHS in the postseason, averaging 13 points per contest. Hale. is next with 10.3 points. followed by Ondera with eight and Slone with 4.7 points . · The Tornadoes go with more of an up-tempo style, having only one player Tar Heels barely got by Virginia Tech before falling to Aorida State. With DeJuan Blair parked on tbe bench in foul trouble, Pittsburgh looked downright onlinary in losing to West Virginia in the Big East tourney. Even Louisville has its flaws. Sure. it won the regular-season Big East title, but who had them as a No. 1 seed - let alone THE No. 1 seed - until the Cardinals added the conference tournament crown, one of the few teams to survive last week's carnage? Forget the Motor City. It might be a feat for all the No. Is to make it to the regional finals. "I think UCorm, if they play right, they should have smooth sailing, but other than that. I'm kind of a believer that anything can happen," said Blake Griffin. whose Oklahoma Sooners are the No. 2 seed in the South. "It just depends on what kind o( team comes out to pia(" It's not JUSt the No. Is that are vulnerable, either; Look anywhere in the bracket' and there are trouble spots. Or opponunities. depending on who you ask. . "This year, I don't see much difference between a one and a four (seed) or a two and a seven. or a three and a six,". said Kansas coach Bill Self, who has both last ,year's national championship and that 2005 first-round loss to Bucknell on his resume. "I don't see much difference at all." Which is fitting, considering how this season has gone. The top ~pot in The Associated Press poll felt more like a bot potato fill' III05t of the year. Six different teams held the No. I ranking, with four losing in their first game after moving to No. I . Tbe top three teams lost in the same week not just once, but twice .

(Calm down. Louis~ille fans. Yes, the Cardinals were the top seed in the Big East, but t!ley went into the tournament ranked behind Connecticut and Pittsburgh). ~The committee finally got used to the unexpected becoming the expected;· said Mike Slive, chair of the selection committee.
