Teen in Ohio Drug Ring Gets at least 6 Months

 LEBANON, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio teenager considered by authorities to be one of the most prolific drug dealers in the Cincinnati area has been sentenced to between six months and three years in a juvenile prison.
   Tyler Pagenstecher (PEG'-ehn-steck-er) of Mason was sentenced in juvenile court Monday stemming from his guilty plea in July to drug-trafficking charges. Whether he stays in prison longer than six months depends on his behavior.
   Authorities say Pagenstecher, who turned 18 earlier this month, played a major role in the ring that sold as much as $20,000 worth of high-grade marijuana a month to fellow students in and around his well-to-do suburb.
   Authorities say that Pagenstecher took orders from adults who led the drug ring but was in charge of six teenage "lieutenants" who helped sell the pot.

Obama offers help for Oklahoma tornado victims
May 21, 2013 14:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he is instructing his disaster response team to get tornado victims in Oklahoma everything they need "right away."

Obama calls the devastation that tore through the Oklahoma City suburbs, quote, "one of the most destructive tornados in history," even though he said the extent of the damage is still unknown.

Obama spoke Tuesday after an Oval Office briefing on the latest developments from his disaster response team and as Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Craig Fugate was heading to Oklahoma.

Obama has declared a major disaster in Oklahoma, ordering federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts.

The president offered prayers and said there's a long road of recovery ahead. But he said the victims won't travel alone and will have the resources they need.
