BREEDOMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM Transfering the option and allowing the CIC to proceed with purchasing the site secured its possible use for construction of a new county-owned medical facility, but the CIC will likely serve only as a purchasing agent for the real estate. CIC President Paul Reed said it is unlikely that the CIC will actually build any facility on the site. Reed said the CIC and county commissioners have not determined if the land will be retained by the CIC once plans for construction have been finalized. "The CIC remains willing to work closely with county goyemment to increase the availability of health care services in the county," Reed said. Commissioner Mick Davenport said plans call for a three-phase development at the new site: Physician services, emergency room services, and inpatient hospital services. Commissioners have discussed the sale of revenue bonds to finance the construction of the facility, and leasing the building to <I health care organization which would then operate it. Commissioners secured a $235,000 grant award from the U.S. Department of and Human Health Services, to purchase necessary medical equipment for the new hospital. Commissioners have .abandoned any plans for using the old Veterans Memorial Hospital building to provide health care services, and have decided, instead. to promote its use for other public uses.

Congratulating Snowden are (from left) Randy Butcher, LCCD board member, Todd Snowden, son, Charlie Barrett, LCCD board president, Judge Fred Crow, Ill. ' . Snowden honored for service BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENTOMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RUTLAND- Having put his experience in the boxing ring to good use getting the Leading Creek Conservancy District (LCCD) into shape, Robert Snowden is hanging up his boxing gloves to settle into retirement. Although it's been a long time since Snowden has boxed while serving in the Navy, it has only been since Dec. 31, 2006 when he officially retired from the board of the LCCD after 17 years of service. Snowden was appointed to his position by Judge Fred Crow, Ill, a decision Crow says he never regretted. Crow described Snowden as "impressive" and the type of person who won't quit until his heart gives out. Crow and LCCD Board Members Randy Butcher and Charlie Barrett presented Snowden with an engraved pocket watch for that service. Barrett said Snowden was irreplaceable and is, "Like talking to a book." Barren says Snowden has an ability to retain information without any notes and, "He never forgets it because he lived it." Snowden said he is most proud of helping the LCCD triple their services and bring running water to people who never had the opportunity for it, savin~ them from having to pay to have 11 hauled in. "There are a lot of areas we went into that will never pay off but the whole system will pay it off," Snowden said. Crow said when Snowden took over the LCCD was in "disarray" but last year the district ended up in the black with a bank account balance of $1.2 million. When Snowden took over the LCCD had 800 customers but as of today there are around 2.300 customers with millions of dollars in grants received to build the system. The LCCD currently serves customers in Columbia, Salem, Scipio. Rutland and Salisbury Townships as well as Wilkesville in Vinton County. Snowden said he's retiring now due to health reasons but he plans to keep busy, still digging in the dirt only this time not for water lines but to take care of his vegetable and flower gardens. At any rate, Snowden says he plans to stay busy and joked, "You· re supposed to look down at the flowers. not up at the roots."

"As technology continues to develop and advance, we must do everything in our power to ensure that the Appalachian region does not mass the boat on establishing itself as a major player in the booming gaming industry," Yoinovich said. "The WIRED initiative will help ensure the region has the technology and • intellectual human capital needed to compete," hi! added. "Southeast Ohio will benefit greatly from thi s exciting news. The funding will further improve the quality of life and bolster the region's economic potential for years to come." "Ohioans want to work, and work hard," Brown said. "These funds will help inject into a hard-hit region essential development dol~ Iars to create new industry, which means good paying jobs for Ohio families .

I came home one day to lind my landlord watering my flowers. I moved eventually. Once the rent is paid, it's up to the tenant to take charge of the property. Paying rent means the property is "said tenant 's" for that month , or however long the rental agreement is, unless another arrangement has been made by the two parties involved.

Coin Show Presented b~ the Oh-Kan Coin Club Friday, February 2nd 9 am to 3 pm Best-selling author, playwright and producer, Sidney Sheldon dies at 89 BY DAISY NGUYEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOS ANGELES Sidney Sheldon had a prolific and award-winning career writing for theater, movies and television, but he often proclaimed his greatest love for another creative outlet. "Writing novels is the most fun I've ever had," Sheldon once said. The best-selling author died Tuesday at 89 at Eisenhower Medical Center .in Rancho Mirage of complications from pneumonia. His wife, Alexandra, was by his side. "I try to write my books so the reader can't put them down," Sheldon explained in a 1982 interview. "I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It's the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: Leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter." Sheldon mostly wrote about stalwart women who triumph in a hostile world of ruthless men. His notable novels included "Ra~e of Angels," "The Other Stde of Midnight," and "If Tomorrow Comes." "I like to write about women who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity," he said. "Women have tremendous power their femininity, because men can't do without it." Several of his novels became television miniseries, often with the author as producer. Sheldon began writing as a youngster in Chicago. where he was born Feb. II. 1917. At 10, he sold a poem for $10. During the Depression, he worked at a variety of jobs, attended Northwestern University and contributed short plays to drama groups. At 17, he tried his luck in Hollywood as a reader of prospective film material at Universal Studio for $22 a week. At night, he wrote his own screenplays and sold one, "South of Panama," to the studio for $250. During World War II, Sheldon served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps. After the war, he established his reputation as a prolific writer in the New York theater. At one time, he had three musi- cals on Broadway: a rewritten "The Merry Widow," "Jackpot" and "Dream with Music ." He received a Tony award !IS one of the writers of the Gwen Verdon hit "Redhead." His Broadway success ushered his return to Hollywood, where his first assignment, "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer," starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple, won him an Academy Award for best original screenplay of 1947. When the movie industry began to feel the pinch of televi sion's popularity; Sheldon decided to try the new medium. "I suppose I needed money," he remembered. "I met Patty Duke one day at lunch. So I produced 'The Patty Duke Show,' and I did something nobody else in TV ever did. For seven years, I wrote almost everr, single episode of the series. ' He also created and produced "I Dream of Jeannie," which lasted five seasons in the late 1960s. During the last year of "I Dream of Jeannie," he decided to write a novel, he said in 1982. His first work, "The Naked Face," was scorned by book reviewers and sold 2 I ,000 cories in hardcover. The nove found a mass market in paperback. however. reponedly selling 3. I million. Thereafter Sheldon became 11 habitue of best-seller lists. Sheldon was married for more than 30 years to Jorja Curtright Sheldon, a stage and film actress who later became a prominent interior decorator. She died in 1985.

Coin Show Presented b~ the Oh-Kan Coin Club Friday, February 2nd 9 am to 3 pm Best-selling author, playwright and producer, Sidney Sheldon dies at 89 BY DAISY NGUYEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOS ANGELES Sidney Sheldon had a prolific and award-winning career writing for theater, movies and television, but he often proclaimed his greatest love for another creative outlet. "Writing novels is the most fun I've ever had," Sheldon once said. The best-selling author died Tuesday at 89 at Eisenhower Medical Center .in Rancho Mirage of complications from pneumonia. His wife, Alexandra, was by his side. "I try to write my books so the reader can't put them down," Sheldon explained in a 1982 interview. "I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It's the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: Leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter." Sheldon mostly wrote about stalwart women who triumph in a hostile world of ruthless men. His notable novels included "Ra~e of Angels," "The Other Stde of Midnight," and "If Tomorrow Comes." "I like to write about women who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity," he said. "Women have tremendous power their femininity, because men can't do without it." Several of his novels became television miniseries, often with the author as producer. Sheldon began writing as a youngster in Chicago. where he was born Feb. II. 1917. At 10, he sold a poem for $10. During the Depression, he worked at a variety of jobs, attended Northwestern University and contributed short plays to drama groups. At 17, he tried his luck in Hollywood as a reader of prospective film material at Universal Studio for $22 a week. At night, he wrote his own screenplays and sold one, "South of Panama," to the studio for $250. During World War II, Sheldon served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps. After the war, he established his reputation as a prolific writer in the New York theater. At one time, he had three musi- cals on Broadway: a rewritten "The Merry Widow," "Jackpot" and "Dream with Music ." He received a Tony award !IS one of the writers of the Gwen Verdon hit "Redhead." His Broadway success ushered his return to Hollywood, where his first assignment, "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer," starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple, won him an Academy Award for best original screenplay of 1947. When the movie industry began to feel the pinch of televi sion's popularity; Sheldon decided to try the new medium. "I suppose I needed money," he remembered. "I met Patty Duke one day at lunch. So I produced 'The Patty Duke Show,' and I did something nobody else in TV ever did. For seven years, I wrote almost everr, single episode of the series. ' He also created and produced "I Dream of Jeannie," which lasted five seasons in the late 1960s. During the last year of "I Dream of Jeannie," he decided to write a novel, he said in 1982. His first work, "The Naked Face," was scorned by book reviewers and sold 2 I ,000 cories in hardcover. The nove found a mass market in paperback. however. reponedly selling 3. I million. Thereafter Sheldon became 11 habitue of best-seller lists. Sheldon was married for more than 30 years to Jorja Curtright Sheldon, a stage and film actress who later became a prominent interior decorator. She died in 1985. He married Alexandra Kostoff, former child actress and advertising executive, in 1989. a Dwight Icenhower "Love Me Tender'' February 10 8 PM Tickets On Sale Now!

The play explores the bonds that unite a disparate group of Protestant Iri sh soldiers fighting in the British Army in World War I . It is descrihed as a compelling portrait of a group of men divided by reli~ion, politics and class but united in their common belief in God ami country. McGuinness' play at once celebrate's their willingness to fight <1nd die to preserve a way of life, while offering a timely critique of the futility of war. "This play speaks to mod- ern audiences because it's about soldiers in a time of war. something we ' re in the middle of right now. It is about a specific group of World War I soldiers. the 36th Ulster Division. but it's not a huge leap to see them as any soldiers lighting in any war. "Because the play is about their relationships and their love for each other and Ulster. the characters ~uick­ ly change from statistics to living. breathing individuals who the audience grows to love . It speaks to the importance of knowing what you are fighting for," said Melissa Grande, director Regular admission for the production is $14 and $12 for students and seniors.

It will be presemed Feb. 7-10 and 14- 17 in the Elizabeth Evans Baker Theater. \oc ated in Kantner Hall. The play explores the bonds that unite a disparate group of Protestant Iri sh soldiers fighting in the British Army in World War I . It is descrihed as a compelling portrait of a group of men divided by reli~ion, politics and class but united in their common belief in God ami country. McGuinness' play at once celebrate's their willingness to fight <1nd die to preserve a way of life, while offering a timely critique of the futility of war. "This play speaks to mod- ern audiences because it's about soldiers in a time of war. something we ' re in the middle of right now. It is about a specific group of World War I soldiers. the 36th Ulster Division. but it's not a huge leap to see them as any soldiers lighting in any war. "Because the play is about their relationships and their love for each other and Ulster. the characters ~uick­ ly change from statistics to living. breathing individuals who the audience grows to love . It speaks to the importance of knowing what you are fighting for," said Melissa Grande, director Regular admission for the production is $14 and $12 for students and seniors.

Heart. In the end, behind a 24- 16 fourth quarter run and a 25-9 edge in offensive rebounds, the host Blue A~~iels showed just a little more of that one simple thing during a hard-fought 51-48 victory in Southeastern Ohio Athletic League South Division action. GAHS (5-12. 2-10 SEOAL) jumped out to a 12-2 lead just five minutes into the game and led all but one second of the first half, yet trailed 21-20 at intermission. The Blue and White needed close to 13 minutes 10 get the lead buck. And once they did at the 3: 15 mark of the fourth quarter, they never relinquished it. Gallia Academy netted only 17of-71 shot attempr< in the triumph for 24 percent, inducting a dismal 1-of-11 effort from beyond the arc. The hosts also posted a 46-37 overall rebounding edge and connected on 16-of,29 free throw tries for 55 percent. Conversely. the Lady Trojans (412, 1-11) h1t 40 percent of their floor shots, connecting on 18-of45 attempts overall and 4-of-10 trifectas. PHS, however, took 26 less shots , committed 13 more turnovers and made just 8-of-23 attempts at the charity stripe. Those little differences, along with a 15-3 second half discrepancy on the offensive glass. enabled the Blue Angels to secure a season sweep of the Red, White and Blue. Afterwards GAHS coach Jeff Duduit admitted that it wasn't his squad's best performance of the season . But a win is a win, and he felt his girls did just enough to earn it. "Our team is much better than this and they know that. It was good to hear them take that .tone after the game down in the locker room," Duduit commented. "None of them are happy with the way they performed, but they are happy with the win and they did what it wok 10 win. They believed in themselves, and in the end, we found a way 10 get it done." Gallia Academy forced 13 turnovers and held the guests to just 1-of- 11 shooting in the first quarter, establishin$ a 12-3 advantage eight minutes mto the contest. Both squads traded baskets one minute into the second period. then Portsmouth ran off seven straight points to pull within 14-12 at the 5:49 mark . GAHS went on a 6-4 run over the next I :48 for a 20-16 edge, then went scoreless over the final 4:0 I of the half. The Lady Trojans ended a 3:36 scoring drought as Brittany. Stanley scored on an offensive carom with 43 seconds left. then a three-pointer by Jennifer Bendolph just before the buzzer gave the guests their first lead of the night headed into the break. Portsmouth was 9-of-28 from the field in the first half, including 2-of-7 from three-point territory. The guests also committed 16 turnovers before break, four more than the opposition. Gallia Academy, on the other hand, hit just9-of-35 shot auempts and was t>-for-6 from behind the arc in that same span. A 22-17 rebounding edge, including a 10-6 lead on the offensive glass, helped make up for those inefficiencies. The hosts also had 10 of their 18 steals in the opening 16 minutes. Despite missing their first II shots and finishing only 2-of-17 from the field, the Blue Angels never trailed by more than six points at any point of the third quarter. Thanks to a stingy defense that held PHS scoreless for 4:28. GAHS actually pulled back to a 26-all tie with I:38 remaining in the stanza. The guests went on a 61 run to close out the. frame for a 32-27 edge. Portsmouth extended its lead to eight (37-29) with 6:07 remaining, but the hosts countered with eight straight markers to tie the game with 4:26 showing.

I thought a couple of those other ones were going in. I was impressed." Ohio State led 33-31 at halftime and opened the second half on an 8-3 run. highlighted by two hook shots by Oden over Landry. Landry drew Oden 's third tout on a drive with 15:54 left and Ohio State leading • tion. He attracted a much smaller crowd than Manning, but the questions came in a flurry - including one about whether Grossman found such a flurry of questions overwhelming. "It's not that big a deal," Grossman said with a smile. "I'm just talking to you guys. "It's a big game. Everyone wants to know all the subplots to it and every little detail. It's exciting for us that our sport is so popular and people care and will read about what we say and listen to us. It just makes it that much more exciting." Grossman is a subplot an erratic young quarterback who can only hope his biorhythms happen to peak around kickoff. Manning is the biggest story of the week. which is why his interview session drew by far the largest horde on media day. The game's most prolitic passer is playing in the Super Bowl for the first time at age 30. His father, Archie, was a star NFL quarterback for 14 years who never had a shot·at . a title. Younger brother Eli has yet to come close in three ·seasons with the New York Giants. So Manning relishes the chance Sunday offers. "You feel a small window of opportunity," he said. "While we' re here, we sure want to go ahead and win it." Flanked by two loudspeakers that allowed even the back row to hear his soft New Orleans drawl, Manning was expansive discussing his family, the chal43-36. The Buckeyes extended their lead to 50-40 before Purdue went on a 5-0 run that brought Oden off 'the bench. The inspired Buckeyes went on an 8-0 run that included 3-pointers by Conley and Butler to , take a 58-45 lead with 8:53 to go. Purdue tried to make a late push. The Boilcnnakers ·trailed 62-.51 when Landry went in for a layup. Oden slammed the ball against the glass, then Butler made one of his four 3-pointers at the o'ther end to give the Buckeyes a 14-point lead with 6 minutes left. lenges of his job and the frustration of fa11ing to reach the Super Bowl in the past. He balked only at the gootiest questions: Do you watch "American Idol"? Is your touchdown dance ready? Is Eli adopted' (Manning's responses: no, not yet and blank stare.) Then there was the subject of Peyton and Payton . Manning's dad and the late Bears superstar Walter Payton were rivals but also good friends. When a 3-yearold Manning briefly vanished during a trip to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl in 1980, Payt~n turned out to be the culpnt. "My parents couldn't find me for like three hours," Manning said. "Any parent could imagine what's that like, not to know where your child is. All of a sudden Walter Payton comes up and he's carrying me. He'd had me on a catamaran for three hours. "It's kind of neat to think of that story, now that we're playing the Bears this week." Reporters chuckled. Cameras clicked. Mannini grinned . To help cope with the circus atmosphere, the twotime NFL MVP said he sought counsel from former quarterbacks who played in the Super Bowl. Some won it, some didn't. "''d rather not disclose the names," he said. "It wasn't Ferragamo or Morton or Dawsbn or Starr or Morrall. You can probably ftgure it out. I was just trymg to have ' a pretty ~ood idea of what I was gettmg into during the week." This actually will be Manning's third or fourth Super Bowl. He was a spectator at the San FranciscoDenver game in 1990 and the Green Bay-N~w England game in 1997, both in his hometown ·of New Orleans. He said he also might have been there as a 4-year-old in 1981 when Oakland beat Philadelphia. But he hasn't attended a title game since turning pro and joining the Colts in 1998. . "I've been at the past couple of Super Bowls during the week, but I've flown out on Sunday," he said. "It's a tough day. It's a good day to be flying, because there's nobody at the airport, but it's certainly not what you want to be doing." Manning earned a stay until Monday by leading Indy to three consecutive playoff wins, including a come-from-behind victory over New England for the AFC title. "For Peyton it has been tough, because all his slats and everything else mean nothing until you reach this game." teammate Dallas Clark said. "He 's finally here, which is great. and hopefully he can enjoy this moment." There will be more news conferences through Thursday, but Manning must wait until Sunday to answer the bi~ question: Will he win a nng . ' PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) - The Louis Brown Athletic Center had not been kind to Da'Sean Butler in high school, but college is looking like a different story. Joe Alexander and Butler led live West Virginia !?layers in double figures with 17 points each as the Mountaineers defeated Rutgers 89-83 on Wednesday night. It was a career-high for Butler. a freshman from New Jersey who played numerous high school state tournament games on- Rutgers' home court. "I wanted to come back here and play well," said Butler. who was 6-for-9 from the tloor and had three rebounds, an assist and a steal. ·•t haven't played good the last three times I've been here - I fouled out a lot, so I really didn't get to play as much. This was obviously my best game here." Mountaineers coach John Beilein made sure his team knew that Butler and teammate Wellington Smith were from the Garden State. "I said to our team this game means an awful lot to our New Jersey guys," Beilein said. "There's certain times to motivate people and it was great for us to sort of Problem fromPageBl there against one of the best players in the NBA.

Darris Nichols added 16 points (on 4-for-5 three-point shooting). four rebounds and three assists for West Virginia ( 17-4, 6-3 Big East), which won its third straight and handed Rutgers (9-13. 2-7)its sixth loss m seven games .. Frank Young added II points and Jamie Smalligan had 10 as West Virginia shot a sea· son-high_ 65.2 percent and was 14-tor-21 from 3-pomt range. "That was the only disappointing thing tonight, is that we didn't defend their threepointers," Rutgers coach Fred Hill said. "I tfiought we executed everything else offensively and defensively, but we allowed them to shoot too many open threes." Rutgers got a career-high 19 pomts from Jaron Griffin. while J.R. Inman finished with 16 points for the Scarlet Knights. Adrian Hill added 15 points and eight rebounds and Marquis Webb had II points. The game featured II lead changes, but West Virginia went ahead for good when Nichols converted a threepoint play with 12:56 left, giving the Mountaineers a 5452 advantage. · t Correction• wll modo In tire firs volllble edhlon. but they don't need me to win games. They know what to do when they're out there without me. It's not hard." The Cavaliers are 2-0 this season without James and 8-2 in games he has missed because of injury since 2003. Have any of his teammates kidded that they don't need him? "No way. They can't tease me," he said. "You ask any of those guys. They .would rather have me on the court than in a suit jacket." As for the Cavs' trip to Miami, James has mtxed emotions about being caught up in the Super Bowl atmosphere. "You can have a little fun down there and ~et in trouble very easy,' he said. "We're all grown men. We' ve been to Miami before. We've been around a lot of things before, so you've got control some things and have fun at the same time."

Facing a semicircle of reporters and cameramen six deep, Manning joked a little, reminisced a lot and seemed to enjoy his tirst Super Bowl media day. "I know how hard it is to set here," he said, "because 11 has been." · Still to come are the 60 minutes that matter most, when Manning's Indianapolis Colts play Chicago for the NFL title. But while Bears center Olin Kreutz grumbled that he might prefer a trip to the dentist .over Tuesday s interview marathon, Manning embraced media day as part of what makes the Super Bowl America's favorite carnival. "I've seen it in years past." Manning said from a seat along the sideline at Dolphin Stadium, his back to the field. "You always wish you were up here . That's one of the hard things. "Not only are you not playing in the game, but you· re seeing other teams play in it that you feel like you had a better team than them, but they were the ones who earned it. We're glad to be here this year."

Heart. In the end, behind a 24- 16 fourth quarter run and a 25-9 edge in offensive rebounds, the host Blue A~~iels showed just a little more of that one simple thing during a hard-fought 51-48 victory in Southeastern Ohio Athletic League South Division action. GAHS (5-12. 2-10 SEOAL) jumped out to a 12-2 lead just five minutes into the game and led all but one second of the first half, yet trailed 21-20 at intermission. The Blue and White needed close to 13 minutes 10 get the lead buck. And once they did at the 3: 15 mark of the fourth quarter, they never relinquished it. Gallia Academy netted only 17of-71 shot attempr< in the triumph for 24 percent, inducting a dismal 1-of-11 effort from beyond the arc. The hosts also posted a 46-37 overall rebounding edge and connected on 16-of,29 free throw tries for 55 percent. Conversely. the Lady Trojans (412, 1-11) h1t 40 percent of their floor shots, connecting on 18-of45 attempts overall and 4-of-10 trifectas. PHS, however, took 26 less shots , committed 13 more turnovers and made just 8-of-23 attempts at the charity stripe. Those little differences, along with a 15-3 second half discrepancy on the offensive glass. enabled the Blue Angels to secure a season sweep of the Red, White and Blue. Afterwards GAHS coach Jeff Duduit admitted that it wasn't his squad's best performance of the season . But a win is a win, and he felt his girls did just enough to earn it. "Our team is much better than this and they know that. It was good to hear them take that .tone after the game down in the locker room," Duduit commented. "None of them are happy with the way they performed, but they are happy with the win and they did what it wok 10 win. They believed in themselves, and in the end, we found a way 10 get it done." Gallia Academy forced 13 turnovers and held the guests to just 1-of- 11 shooting in the first quarter, establishin$ a 12-3 advantage eight minutes mto the contest. Both squads traded baskets one minute into the second period. then Portsmouth ran off seven straight points to pull within 14-12 at the 5:49 mark . GAHS went on a 6-4 run over the next I :48 for a 20-16 edge, then went scoreless over the final 4:0 I of the half. The Lady Trojans ended a 3:36 scoring drought as Brittany. Stanley scored on an offensive carom with 43 seconds left. then a three-pointer by Jennifer Bendolph just before the buzzer gave the guests their first lead of the night headed into the break. Portsmouth was 9-of-28 from the field in the first half, including 2-of-7 from three-point territory. The guests also committed 16 turnovers before break, four more than the opposition. Gallia Academy, on the other hand, hit just9-of-35 shot auempts and was t>-for-6 from behind the arc in that same span. A 22-17 rebounding edge, including a 10-6 lead on the offensive glass, helped make up for those inefficiencies. The hosts also had 10 of their 18 steals in the opening 16 minutes. Despite missing their first II shots and finishing only 2-of-17 from the field, the Blue Angels never trailed by more than six points at any point of the third quarter. Thanks to a stingy defense that held PHS scoreless for 4:28. GAHS actually pulled back to a 26-all tie with I:38 remaining in the stanza. The guests went on a 61 run to close out the. frame for a 32-27 edge. Portsmouth extended its lead to eight (37-29) with 6:07 remaining, but the hosts countered with eight straight markers to tie the game with 4:26 showing.

I thought a couple of those other ones were going in. I was impressed." Ohio State led 33-31 at halftime and opened the second half on an 8-3 run. highlighted by two hook shots by Oden over Landry. Landry drew Oden 's third tout on a drive with 15:54 left and Ohio State leading • tion. He attracted a much smaller crowd than Manning, but the questions came in a flurry - including one about whether Grossman found such a flurry of questions overwhelming. "It's not that big a deal," Grossman said with a smile. "I'm just talking to you guys. "It's a big game. Everyone wants to know all the subplots to it and every little detail. It's exciting for us that our sport is so popular and people care and will read about what we say and listen to us. It just makes it that much more exciting." Grossman is a subplot an erratic young quarterback who can only hope his biorhythms happen to peak around kickoff. Manning is the biggest story of the week. which is why his interview session drew by far the largest horde on media day. The game's most prolitic passer is playing in the Super Bowl for the first time at age 30. His father, Archie, was a star NFL quarterback for 14 years who never had a shot·at . a title. Younger brother Eli has yet to come close in three ·seasons with the New York Giants. So Manning relishes the chance Sunday offers. "You feel a small window of opportunity," he said. "While we' re here, we sure want to go ahead and win it." Flanked by two loudspeakers that allowed even the back row to hear his soft New Orleans drawl, Manning was expansive discussing his family, the chal43-36. The Buckeyes extended their lead to 50-40 before Purdue went on a 5-0 run that brought Oden off 'the bench. The inspired Buckeyes went on an 8-0 run that included 3-pointers by Conley and Butler to , take a 58-45 lead with 8:53 to go. Purdue tried to make a late push. The Boilcnnakers ·trailed 62-.51 when Landry went in for a layup. Oden slammed the ball against the glass, then Butler made one of his four 3-pointers at the o'ther end to give the Buckeyes a 14-point lead with 6 minutes left. lenges of his job and the frustration of fa11ing to reach the Super Bowl in the past. He balked only at the gootiest questions: Do you watch "American Idol"? Is your touchdown dance ready? Is Eli adopted' (Manning's responses: no, not yet and blank stare.) Then there was the subject of Peyton and Payton . Manning's dad and the late Bears superstar Walter Payton were rivals but also good friends. When a 3-yearold Manning briefly vanished during a trip to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl in 1980, Payt~n turned out to be the culpnt. "My parents couldn't find me for like three hours," Manning said. "Any parent could imagine what's that like, not to know where your child is. All of a sudden Walter Payton comes up and he's carrying me. He'd had me on a catamaran for three hours. "It's kind of neat to think of that story, now that we're playing the Bears this week." Reporters chuckled. Cameras clicked. Mannini grinned . To help cope with the circus atmosphere, the twotime NFL MVP said he sought counsel from former quarterbacks who played in the Super Bowl. Some won it, some didn't. "''d rather not disclose the names," he said. "It wasn't Ferragamo or Morton or Dawsbn or Starr or Morrall. You can probably ftgure it out. I was just trymg to have ' a pretty ~ood idea of what I was gettmg into during the week." This actually will be Manning's third or fourth Super Bowl. He was a spectator at the San FranciscoDenver game in 1990 and the Green Bay-N~w England game in 1997, both in his hometown ·of New Orleans. He said he also might have been there as a 4-year-old in 1981 when Oakland beat Philadelphia. But he hasn't attended a title game since turning pro and joining the Colts in 1998. . "I've been at the past couple of Super Bowls during the week, but I've flown out on Sunday," he said. "It's a tough day. It's a good day to be flying, because there's nobody at the airport, but it's certainly not what you want to be doing." Manning earned a stay until Monday by leading Indy to three consecutive playoff wins, including a come-from-behind victory over New England for the AFC title. "For Peyton it has been tough, because all his slats and everything else mean nothing until you reach this game." teammate Dallas Clark said. "He 's finally here, which is great. and hopefully he can enjoy this moment." There will be more news conferences through Thursday, but Manning must wait until Sunday to answer the bi~ question: Will he win a nng . ' PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) - The Louis Brown Athletic Center had not been kind to Da'Sean Butler in high school, but college is looking like a different story. Joe Alexander and Butler led live West Virginia !?layers in double figures with 17 points each as the Mountaineers defeated Rutgers 89-83 on Wednesday night. It was a career-high for Butler. a freshman from New Jersey who played numerous high school state tournament games on- Rutgers' home court. "I wanted to come back here and play well," said Butler. who was 6-for-9 from the tloor and had three rebounds, an assist and a steal. ·•t haven't played good the last three times I've been here - I fouled out a lot, so I really didn't get to play as much. This was obviously my best game here." Mountaineers coach John Beilein made sure his team knew that Butler and teammate Wellington Smith were from the Garden State. "I said to our team this game means an awful lot to our New Jersey guys," Beilein said. "There's certain times to motivate people and it was great for us to sort of Problem fromPageBl there against one of the best players in the NBA. You have to be smart about things, and if I feel fine then I'm going to go out there and play. And if I don't, I'm going to sit." "That was a momentum "There weren't a lot of From his spot on the changer." Conley said. adjustments," he said.

"I think make enough shots." it helps with me, of course, halftime. come together as a team and make sure that he and Wellington (Smith) had a happy homecoming." Darris Nichols added 16 points (on 4-for-5 three-point shooting). four rebounds and three assists for West Virginia ( 17-4, 6-3 Big East), which won its third straight and handed Rutgers (9-13. 2-7)its sixth loss m seven games .. Frank Young added II points and Jamie Smalligan had 10 as West Virginia shot a sea· son-high_ 65.2 percent and was 14-tor-21 from 3-pomt range. "That was the only disappointing thing tonight, is that we didn't defend their threepointers," Rutgers coach Fred Hill said. "I tfiought we executed everything else offensively and defensively, but we allowed them to shoot too many open threes." Rutgers got a career-high 19 pomts from Jaron Griffin. while J.R. Inman finished with 16 points for the Scarlet Knights. Adrian Hill added 15 points and eight rebounds and Marquis Webb had II points. The game featured II lead changes, but West Virginia went ahead for good when Nichols converted a threepoint play with 12:56 left, giving the Mountaineers a 5452 advantage. · t Correction• wll modo In tire firs volllble edhlon. but they don't need me to win games. They know what to do when they're out there without me. It's not hard." The Cavaliers are 2-0 this season without James and 8-2 in games he has missed because of injury since 2003. Have any of his teammates kidded that they don't need him? "No way. They can't tease me," he said. "You ask any of those guys. They .would rather have me on the court than in a suit jacket." As for the Cavs' trip to Miami, James has mtxed emotions about being caught up in the Super Bowl atmosphere. "You can have a little fun down there and ~et in trouble very easy,' he said. "We're all grown men. We' ve been to Miami before. We've been around a lot of things before, so you've got control some things and have fun at the same time."

But it m ight be difficult tor you to be oompllmen1ary. Instead of praise, you're apt to use sar· casm or scorn. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Until you resolve problems you've previously made for yourself, it might be difficult to move forward witlt life. Fulfill those obligations now and get on with your affairs. ARIES (March ·21 -AprU 19) - You enjOy meeting new people, but not necessarily at this time. You're likely to feel tar more comfortable going to familiar places where friends and acquaintances can be easily found. TAURUS {April 20-May 20) - Don't throw any pity parties tor yourself. Be grateful and appreciative of who and what you are because the grass isn't a s green in the other guy's yard as you've led yourself to believe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Negative an!tudes leading to depression are usually the result of basing your beliefs upon fantasy rather than realism. Until you look at life optimisticall}\ you could be destined to gloomy days.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Until you resolve problems you've previously made for yourself, it might be difficult to move forward witlt life. Fulfill those obligations now and get on with your affairs. ARIES (March ·21 -AprU 19) - You enjOy meeting new people, but not necessarily at this time. You're likely to feel tar more comfortable going to familiar places where friends and acquaintances can be easily found. TAURUS {April 20-May 20) - Don't throw any pity parties tor yourself. Be grateful and appreciative of who and what you are because the grass isn't a s green in the other guy's yard as you've led yourself to believe. GEMINI (May 21·June 20) - Having a Pollyanna view of life can be satisfying. provided you don't have to deal with any cold, hard develOpments. Should reality strike. however. It can be quite ruffling . CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Even though you might feel It is time for some payback to which you're entitled, this m ight not be a good time to try to collect your just dues. Wait until others are more receptive . LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Unles s you're appreciative of the .individuality ot each of your friend$ , you could be accused ol trying to remake your pals In your own image. It won't go over too well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Negative an!tudes leading to depression are usually the result of basing your beliefs upon fantasy rather than realism. Until you look at life optimisticall}\ you could be destined to gloomy days.
