No. 9 seed Ohio plays No. 1 seed Bowling Green today at 7 p.m. in the second round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. Ohio hopes to earn its first victory this year against the Falcons. Bowling Green beat the Bobcats 52-51 in The Convo on Jan. 24 and dominated the Bobcats 75-41 last Sunday. Can Ohio avenge its losses and continue its run?
Post columnist Cathy Wilson is right. The proposed AMP-Ohio coal plant in Meigs County is not a form of 'advanced energy.' In fact, I would argue no form of coal is advanced energy. In addition to the $30 million low interest loan the state of Ohio could be giving AMP-Ohio for building this plant, the Ohio Department of Development is considering granting $5 million to AMP-Ohio. That money could be going to fund dirty, exploitive, near-sighted coal.

I was disturbed several weeks ago when I read in The Post that there was an increase in illicit drug abuse at OU. This is sad. Many good lives have been destroyed by drug abuse and many a young life has been taken because of it. Drugs are bad news. I lost my brother because of a cocaine overdose. Young students drink and combining that with popping pills can send you to the hospital or an early grave. Alcohol is fine in my opinion, but experimenting with illicit drugs can be deadly. My advice is to stick to the alcohol and leave the hard stuff alone.

The Post article on child prostitutes shined some light on the problem but did not tell the whole story. First off the term child prostitute doesn't truly describe the situation. Ken Lawson, a vice cop from Columbus, prefers the term prostituted child. It is his belief that no child would on their own volition choose this lifestyle for themselves. I would like to pull out two phrases that were in the article - enslaved and domestic trafficking. These children are victims, they are modern slaves; calling them child prostitutes turns them into criminals. They are for the most part forced into prostitution by pimps, drug dealers, and sometimes family members.
CLEVELAND- The Bobcats are off to a 25-21 lead after a relatively uneventful first half.
Alex Homan not only states incorrect facts in his op-ed article, Between the lines: Israel breaches international law to punish Palestine (March 9), but it also seems as though he is looking in the wrong places for credible information. First, it is incorrect for Alex to mention the numbers of overall Palestinians killed in comparison to Israelis, given the fact that three fourths of Palestinians killed are members of Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization. He stated that 400 of those killed were children, but in reality, according to the most cited Palestinian source, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, the total number of children killed up to January 21 is 280. Of these, 55 were males aged 15 to 17 and it's fair to assume that many of those males were likely to be Hamas combatants.
