Patients at Cambridge will move to a facility in Athens i'n southeast Ohio.

"There is a very acute need for these . facilities in these communities," she said. ''I'm afraid that this lack of treatment option will lead to more people being on the streets." Joseph Szoke, executive director of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Montgomery County, said visitors will have farther to ·drive, as will sheriff's deputies who transport patients placed in state hospitals under court order.

Company officials said a decision is expected from the Ohio Power Siting Board in 30 to 60 days, and construction is possible in 2009. "The officials said the project is on schedule and said they are pleased, so far, with th ·permitting process," Davenport said.

AS . �NATION • WORLD eves· on Cl ·IS The Daily Sentinel BY CHA~LES BABINGTON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON ~ The top presidential candidates and their big-name supporters campaigned from coast to coast Sunday, but one contender seemed atop everyone's mind: Hillary Rodham Clinton. · Republicans John ML<:ain and Mitt Romney contrasted themselves, and each other, with Clinton as though she were the nominee. Her Democratic rival, B'arack Ob<1111a, played along to a degree, saying Clinton is so polarizing that he is their . party's better bet. Rather than diverting the less-than-flattering attention, Clinton embraced it. "I've been taking the incoming fire from Republicans for about 16 years now, and I'm still her~. because I have been vetted, I have been tested," she said in a TV interview before cam- · paigning in Missouri and Minneapolis. · "There's unlikely to be any new surprises," Clinton added, implying the same cannot be said of Obama, who has been in Congress three years. Her confidence notwithstanding, polls showed Obama narrowing the lead that Clinton has enjoyed among Democrats nation: wide, even as McCain· appeared to be pulling away from Romney. With 24 states holding presidential contests Tuesday, Sunday was an intense day of campaigning and advertising, making it all the more remarkable that one figure managed to dominate so much of the talk and speculation. .

She is the Democrat conservatives most love to hate, and McCain and Romney campaigned against her Sunday as if in a proxy battle against one another. . "If we want a party that is from indistinguishable Hillary Clinton on an issue like illegal immigration," Romney said, "we're going to have John McCain as a nominee. That's the wrong way to go." McCain, campaigning in Fairfield, Conn., said he has never sought special projects for his state. and added: "In her short time in the United States Senate, the senator from New York, Senator Clinton, got $500 million worth of pork barrel projects.

She has a gentleman friend and the two of them are all over each other all the time, whether in our house, he~ house or out in public. She also discusses mtimate details of the relationship with our adult daughter. Celia is in her late 60s and her boyfriend is 72. You would think they'd know better. It makes all of us very ' uncomfortable to be around Celia and her beau, and I worry it 'will cause a major problem now that we will be living closer to her. Should I discuss it with my sister? Our daughter already said something to her aunt about not liking this behavior and Celia's response was, "It shouldn't bother you." Celia also drinks a bit. Please advise soon. The movers are coming. Too Much PDA Dear Too· Much: Celia feels young again and wants everyone to know it. The drinking doesn't help because it further loosens her inhibitions. We strongly recommend you ignore this as much as possible. If the two of them are overly demonstrative, say, "You obviously need your pri vacy. We'll see. you later."

Her Democratic rival, B'arack Ob<1111a, played along to a degree, saying Clinton is so polarizing that he is their . party's better bet. Rather than diverting the less-than-flattering attention, Clinton embraced it.

Her confidence notwithstanding, polls showed Obama narrowing the lead that Clinton has enjoyed among Democrats nation: wide, even as McCain· appeared to be pulling away from Romney. With 24 states holding presidential contests Tuesday, Sunday was an intense day of campaigning and advertising, making it all the more remarkable that one figure managed to dominate so much of the talk and speculation. .

She is the Democrat conservatives most love to hate, and McCain and Romney campaigned against her Sunday as if in a proxy battle against one another. . "If we want a party that is from indistinguishable Hillary Clinton on an issue like illegal immigration," Romney said, "we're going to have John McCain as a nominee. That's the wrong way to go." McCain, campaigning in Fairfield, Conn., said he has never sought special projects for his state. and added: "In her short time in the United States Senate, the senator from New York, Senator Clinton, got $500 million worth of pork barrel projects.

"It really saddens me to see members have to .play musical chairs between the two houses," Senate Democratic Leader Ray . Miller of Columbus, a former House member, said. "Recently, we lost Sen.

'• ' Little stated in final .'Union' address By now it 's clear that John McCain's "blasphemy" on conservative principies is making some conservatives consider "apostasy" on Election Day not voting Republican.

These are the old smear tactics that we see in every campaign." Clinton, a New York senator, emphasized college affordability in response to a question, and outlined her proposals to help students pay off debt with national service, to iRcrease Pell grants and to sweeten other college aid. She said student Joan companies should be cut out of the process and colleges should enter contracts with freshmen ensuring no tuition increases until they graduate: "We are literally slamming' the door of college in the face of so many young peopie," she said. Obama, too, talked about his national service plan to relieve . college ' debt. , Reader Services NEW YORK Democrat Barack Obama told young voters Saturday his multicultural background lets him "see through the eyes of other people' ~ ·abroad in ways another president could not. Closer to homeand student pocketbooks rival Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke of aggressive steps to make college affordable. The two Democrats and , Republicans Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul joined in a youth-oriented forum s130nsored by MTV, The Associ.ated Press ' and MySpace, each fielding queStions separately by satellite. In perhaps a sign of Obama's strength with young people, both Clinton and Huckabee were asked not· just about themselves, but about him. Clinton, asked what Obama symbolized in the contest, said she and her rival together "represent such a sea change in America" - one bidding to become the first female president, the other wanting to be the first black president. "Whichever of us gets the nomination, we are making history," she said, before rapidly asserting she is the best equipped to lead. Equally mindful of history, Obama declared the contest is not about the race or the sex of the candidates. If it were just about his race, he said, "I wouldn't have to . answer questions. I could just show up." Clinton was in Tucson, Ariz., and Obama · in Minneapolis, each in motion across a vast landscape in the closing stretch before the two dozen presidential nomination ~ontests Tuesday. · John McCain and · Mitt Romney, top contenders for the GOP nomination, declined to participate in the 'forum. McCain answered ' questions solo at an MTV_MySpace forum from New l;fampshire in December.

The experiment has already yielded troubling conclusions, Wickland said. Refined satellite surveillance, for example, finds that selective logging affects about as much area as clear-cutting, adding significantly to carbon dioxide emissions and casting doubt on whether managed forestry can save the Amazon . Brazilian physicist Paulo Artaxo, a· veteran Amazon researcher, said it's essential that Brazil, home to almost 70 percent of the rain forest, sharply slow the destruction of its woodlands. "There is no che&per way to reduce' emissions than by controlling deforestation," he said. Scientists estimate it would cost about $1 billion a year in lost income for Brazil to end the clearing of forest by loggers, ranchers and farmers, largely giant · soybeangrowing conglomerates. At the Bali conferen~e; the world's nations decided to explore possible plans for compensating rain-forest nations. for rolling back their rates of deforestation. That money could come as "carbon credits," in the trading system under the Kyoto Proiocol climate pact whereby industrial nations that overshoot their . greenhouse emissions quotas can get credit for emissions reductions at power plants or other projects in the developing world. By awarding credits to rain-forest states, richer nations would now also be financing protection of carbon sinks'.

'• ' Little stated in final .'Union' address By now it 's clear that John McCain's "blasphemy" on conservative principies is making some conservatives consider "apostasy" on Election Day not voting Republican. A quick Google search shows such terminology popping up in campaign coverage. whether to describe the intensity of conservative disaffection with McCain's assaults on baseline conservatism ("McCain's "apostasy" ' on immigration, for example), or to indicate mock-horror I M.

These are the old smear tactics that we see in every campaign." Clinton, a New York senator, emphasized college affordability in response to a question, and outlined her proposals to help students pay off debt with national service, to iRcrease Pell grants and to sweeten other college aid. She said student Joan companies should be cut out of the process and colleges should enter contracts with freshmen ensuring no tuition increases until they graduate: "We are literally slamming' the door of college in the face of so many young peopie," she said. Obama, too, talked about his national service plan to relieve . college ' debt. , Reader Services NEW YORK Democrat Barack Obama told young voters Saturday his multicultural background lets him "see through the eyes of other people' ~ ·abroad in ways another president could not. Closer to homeand student pocketbooks rival Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke of aggressive steps to make college affordable. The two Democrats and , Republicans Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul joined in a youth-oriented forum s130nsored by MTV, The Associ.ated Press ' and MySpace, each fielding queStions separately by satellite. In perhaps a sign of Obama's strength with young people, both Clinton and Huckabee were asked not· just about themselves, but about him. Clinton, asked what Obama symbolized in the contest, said she and her rival together "represent such a sea change in America" - one bidding to become the first female president, the other wanting to be the first black president. "Whichever of us gets the nomination, we are making history," she said, before rapidly asserting she is the best equipped to lead. Equally mindful of history, Obama declared the contest is not about the race or the sex of the candidates. If it were just about his race, he said, "I wouldn't have to . answer questions. I could just show up." Clinton was in Tucson, Ariz., and Obama · in Minneapolis, each in motion across a vast landscape in the closing stretch before the two dozen presidential nomination ~ontests Tuesday. · John McCain and · Mitt Romney, top contenders for the GOP nomination, declined to participate in the 'forum. McCain answered ' questions solo at an MTV_MySpace forum from New l;fampshire in December. Obama. an Illinois sehator, asked young voters concerned aboul America's place in the world to judge 'him on his record of standing against the Iraq war and on his background as the son of a Kenyan father and mother from Kansas.

The experiment has already yielded troubling conclusions, Wickland said. Refined satellite surveillance, for example, finds that selective logging affects about as much area as clear-cutting, adding significantly to carbon dioxide emissions and casting doubt on whether managed forestry can save the Amazon . Brazilian physicist Paulo Artaxo, a· veteran Amazon researcher, said it's essential that Brazil, home to almost 70 percent of the rain forest, sharply slow the destruction of its woodlands. "There is no che&per way to reduce' emissions than by controlling deforestation," he said. Scientists estimate it would cost about $1 billion a year in lost income for Brazil to end the clearing of forest by loggers, ranchers and farmers, largely giant · soybeangrowing conglomerates. At the Bali conferen~e; the world's nations decided to explore possible plans for compensating rain-forest nations. for rolling back their rates of deforestation. That money could come as "carbon credits," in the trading system under the Kyoto Proiocol climate pact whereby industrial nations that overshoot their . greenhouse emissions quotas can get credit for emissions reductions at power plants or other projects in the developing world. By awarding credits to rain-forest states, richer nations would now also be financing protection of carbon sinks'. The negotiations over such a complex global plan promise to be long and difficult. · Jyst in the office of House Speaker Jon Husted, RKettering, regarding leg·islative eQergy issues.

The Giants had the perfect answer for the suddenly imperfect Patriots: a big, bad defense and an improbable comeback led by their own Mr. Cool · quarterback, Eli Manning. -In one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, New York shattered New England's unbeaten season 17-14 Sunday night as Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left. It was the Giants' lith straight victory on the road and the first time the Patriots tasted defeat in more than a year. It was the most bitter ·of losses, too, because 12-point favorite New England (181) was one play from win· ning and getting the ultimate revenge for being penalized for illegally taping opponents' defensive signals in the season-opener again~! 1 the New York Jets. But its defense couldn't stop a final, frantic 12-play, 83-yard drive that featured a spectacular leaping catch by David Tyree, who had scored , New York's first touchdown on the opening drive of the fourth quarter.

Turns out that was just the prelude. · One play later, the Patriots threw another kitchen-sink blitz at Manning; linebacker Adalius Thomas had his shirt and tried to throw Manning to the ground. Instead, he ducked down and used the momentum to spin away, then set his feet and fired a high strike 32 yards down the field. Receiver David Tyree made a spectacular grab on the ball, pinning it against his helmet as he fell to the ground with New England safety Rodney Harrison draped across his shoulders. "You try to get small sometimes and see if you can squeak through," the 6-foot-4 Manning said with typical understatement. "You just try find a hole to squeeze through and make a throw." · By comparison, the deciding touchdown throw · to Plaxico Burress was ro,utine. After finding Steve Smith in traffic in the middle of the field for 12 yards and another first · down, Manning found Burress on a fade route in tlte left corner of the end zone and lofted a floater as the New York sideline exploded in celebration. "He's always being compared to somebody, whether it's his dad or his brother or Phil Simms," said Giants center Shaun O'Hara, recalling Simms' 22-of-25 performance in the 1987 Super Bowl.

NEW YORK CAP) -· It was an epic battle of the creatures Sunday night in the Super Bowl ads, ranging from the cute to the menacing to the inex,Piicably rhytJu:nic: A band of hzard-like reptiles cutting the rug rq Michael Jackson's ''Thriller"? Hey, it's the Super Bowl. Much is riding on the ads, which are the most closely scrutinized of the whole year, as well as the most watched and the most expensive. This year's 30-second spots on News Corp.'s Fox network broadcast were fetching as much as $2.7 million. The price edges higher nearly every year. Last year the game drew 93 million viewers, a level that many believe could be surpassed this year given the strong matchup between the New York Giants and the New England·Patriots, as well as the Patriots' chance to go for a record unbeaten season. Using critters is hardly a new trick in !he ads for the big game, but this year saw some novel and clever uses of animals. · , FedEx Corp.'s ad took a decidedly Hitchcockian l)lrn when a corporate underling entrusts shipping operations to a huge squadron of canier pigeons - eerily reminiscent of "The Birds." When a tribe of giant pigeons winds up wreaking havoc by accidentally dropping huge boxes into traffic and picking up parked cars and hurling them through windows, a cool-headed supervisor decides that calling FedEx would be a good idea. Toyota Motor Corp. took a stab at the critter theme with a clever spot for its Corolla model, boasting of the noiseblocking ability of the car by putting a young guy in the drivers seat next to a sleeping family of badgers that will gnaw his face off if awakened. The cannons firing around him aren't the problem, but he would have been better off putting his cell phone on vibrate. PepsiCo Inc.'s Sobe Life Water brand brought out some dancing lizards to bop along with Naoml Campbell to Michael Jackson's '80s classic "Thriller," whose 25th anniversary edition is coming out later this month. Anheuser-Busch Inc. was once again the. largest advertiser in the game, with a series of humorous spots for its Bud Light brand and a heartfelt "Rocky"-inspired story of a Clydesdale horse that doesn't make the first cut for the carriage team, but succeeds after .a· year of training with an unlikely coach, a Dalmatian dog.

Turns out that was just the prelude. · One play later, the Patriots threw another kitchen-sink blitz at Manning; linebacker Adalius Thomas had his shirt and tried to throw Manning to the ground. Instead, he ducked down and used the momentum to spin away, then set his feet and fired a high strike 32 yards down the field. Receiver David Tyree made a spectacular grab on the ball, pinning it against his helmet as he fell to the ground with New England safety Rodney Harrison draped across his shoulders. "You try to get small sometimes and see if you can squeak through," the 6-foot-4 Manning said with typical understatement. "You just try find a hole to squeeze through and make a throw." · By comparison, the deciding touchdown throw · to Plaxico Burress was ro,utine. After finding Steve Smith in traffic in the middle of the field for 12 yards and another first · down, Manning found Burress on a fade route in tlte left corner of the end zone and lofted a floater as the New York sideline exploded in celebration. "He's always being compared to somebody, whether it's his dad or his brother or Phil Simms," said Giants center Shaun O'Hara, recalling Simms' 22-of-25 performance in the 1987 Super Bowl.

NEW YORK CAP) -· It was an epic battle of the creatures Sunday night in the Super Bowl ads, ranging from the cute to the menacing to the inex,Piicably rhytJu:nic: A band of hzard-like reptiles cutting the rug rq Michael Jackson's ''Thriller"? Hey, it's the Super Bowl. Much is riding on the ads, which are the most closely scrutinized of the whole year, as well as the most watched and the most expensive. This year's 30-second spots on News Corp.'s Fox network broadcast were fetching as much as $2.7 million. The price edges higher nearly every year. Last year the game drew 93 million viewers, a level that many believe could be surpassed this year given the strong matchup between the New York Giants and the New England·Patriots, as well as the Patriots' chance to go for a record unbeaten season. Using critters is hardly a new trick in !he ads for the big game, but this year saw some novel and clever uses of animals. · , FedEx Corp.'s ad took a decidedly Hitchcockian l)lrn when a corporate underling entrusts shipping operations to a huge squadron of canier pigeons - eerily reminiscent of "The Birds." When a tribe of giant pigeons winds up wreaking havoc by accidentally dropping huge boxes into traffic and picking up parked cars and hurling them through windows, a cool-headed supervisor decides that calling FedEx would be a good idea. Toyota Motor Corp. took a stab at the critter theme with a clever spot for its Corolla model, boasting of the noiseblocking ability of the car by putting a young guy in the drivers seat next to a sleeping family of badgers that will gnaw his face off if awakened. The cannons firing around him aren't the problem, but he would have been better off putting his cell phone on vibrate. PepsiCo Inc.'s Sobe Life Water brand brought out some dancing lizards to bop along with Naoml Campbell to Michael Jackson's '80s classic "Thriller," whose 25th anniversary edition is coming out later this month. Anheuser-Busch Inc. was once again the. largest advertiser in the game, with a series of humorous spots for its Bud Light brand and a heartfelt "Rocky"-inspired story of a Clydesdale horse that doesn't make the first cut for the carriage team, but succeeds after .a· year of training with an unlikely coach, a Dalmatian dog. All of Anheuser.Busch's other spots focused on its Bud Giants The Giants became the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl; four AFC teams have done it.

That it was Manning taking that knee was stunnin~. He not only matched h1s brother's achievement of last _ year with the Indianapolis Colts, but. he showed the brilliant precision late in the game usually associated with, well, Brady.

The answer was a two or deuce, according 10 choice! Here is an e~eample . The auction is slraighlforward, but remember lwo points: South's twospade respo~se guarantees at least five spades. With only fou r, he would start with a negative double. Anti North's three·spade raise shows three· or four· card support and a minimum opening. ~ith extra values, he would jump to four spades. Against four spades, West leads his club seven , playing high·low wilh a doubleton. East wins with his club king and cashes lha club ace. What should he do next? West ~ so unlike ~ to have the king-lac!< ol diamonds that East should assume his side is getting ·only three side-suit tricks: one heart and two clubs. To deleat the contract, therefore, East and West need a trump trick. It is lime to lry for an uppercut. II Easlleads a third club, when West ruffs with his lowly spade two and dummy over ruffs with the 10, suddenly East's spade nine will be a trick. But that is not all. East must remember that when trying for an uppercut, cash all of your side·suit tricks firSl. B,efore play· ing the 1hird club, East must take his heart ace. · Note lhat if East leads a club at trick three, declarer overruffs in the dummy, takes two rounds of spades, finessing once through East, t_he(l runs diamonds. On dummy's last diamond, South diS· cards his heart queen while East ruffS with the spade king, his natural trump trick. G r £I Wise Concrete \".J TO 1)0 . if . . . . . . . .11:11 ..

The answer was a two or deuce, according 10 choice! Here is an e~eample . The auction is slraighlforward, but remember lwo points: South's twospade respo~se guarantees at least five spades. With only fou r, he would start with a negative double. Anti North's three·spade raise shows three· or four· card support and a minimum opening. ~ith extra values, he would jump to four spades. Against four spades, West leads his club seven , playing high·low wilh a doubleton. East wins with his club king and cashes lha club ace. What should he do next? West ~ so unlike ~ to have the king-lac!< ol diamonds that East should assume his side is getting ·only three side-suit tricks: one heart and two clubs. To deleat the contract, therefore, East and West need a trump trick. It is lime to lry for an uppercut. II Easlleads a third club, when West ruffs with his lowly spade two and dummy over ruffs with the 10, suddenly East's spade nine will be a trick. But that is not all. East must remember that when trying for an uppercut, cash all of your side·suit tricks firSl. B,efore play· ing the 1hird club, East must take his heart ace. · Note lhat if East leads a club at trick three, declarer overruffs in the dummy, takes two rounds of spades, finessing once through East, t_he(l runs diamonds. On dummy's last diamond, South diS· cards his heart queen while East ruffS with the spade king, his natural trump trick. G r £I Wise Concrete \".J TO 1)0 . if . . . . . . . .11:11 ..
