All the TV news prograins wanted him on, some of his nieces and nephe.ws actually split with him, and he even managed to upstage the State of the Union address. Predicuibly, nasty stuff about Kennedy instantly .appeared on some far-right Internet sites, but more than a few left-wing concerns also hammered him for abandoning his former pals the Clintons. In short, there was minor hysteria in libenil circles because Kennedy and his niece Caroline are supporting Barack Obama over the Democratic machine candi· date, Hillary Clinton. And nowhere was the hysteria more pronounced than in the National Organization . for Women. l'he nonpartisan website Politico reported that New York NOW President Marcia Pappas was furious with Kennedy. The website quotes Pappas as saying: "Women have just experienced the ultimate. betrayal. Senator Kennedy's endorsement of Hillary Bill O'Reilly Clinton's opponent in. the Democratic Presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck . up for him .. . and now the greatest betrayal 1 We are repaid with his abandonment! He's picked the new guy over us. He's joined the list of progressive white men who can't or won't handle the prospect of a woman \'resident who is · Htllary Clinton." Goo4 grief. So what this means is that any guy who doesn't support Sen. Clinton for president is a traitor to all things feminine.

Thank God, she's got a husband that's already done this." But that's precise!~ what other women don t like abqut Hillary. "I really dislike the whole husband/wife dynamic," says Annie Rose Strasser, a college student. People will either say "she's a great wife because she's helping her man out or she's going to have to rely on her husband to help her make decisions." "I don't feellike it's !lOOd to have a female candidate whose husband has been in office," adds Strasser, "because that makes (it) seem like people will elect her for her husband.

Their partnership plays directly into one of Barack Obama's main themes, that she's the candidate of the past, not the future. "We need to . move on," Hickey says now, "we need to escape from all of it." For Nuala Ryan, a recent Hillary ad, which assailed Obama for saying nice things about Ronald Reagan, reminded her of what she did not ]ike about the Cfintons- their pol iiical game-playing . ."They knew. what they were doing, and they shouldn't have done it," she said. "That ticked me off." All of these women badly want the Democrats to win. All want, and expect, to see a female president in their lifetime. But they want that president to be her own person, noi someone propelled into office by her husband's record or rhetoric. If Hillary . wants their votes, she has to keep speakmg m her own voice.

Southern (9'8) claimed its second crosscounty victory of the season, defeating Eastern (6-12) December 21 at Eastern, 6251. The win pushed Southern back above the .500 mark. The Tornadoes had slipped to .500 after an 8-4 start that renewed some of the old Southern spirit once relegated to local shop talk and memories embedded in the banners hanging inside Hayman gymnasi\lm.

With the feeling-out the process finished, Marauders turned it up in the second and scored 21 · points. Bolin had 12, and Chris Goode had four. "We really did well trying to get the ball into Chris, but it seems like we always tend to get into foul trouble with . our post men. I don't know. I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy out there; they don't want Chris Goode to play," joked Ewing. Goode finished his Senior Night with eight points and . nine rebounds, while Dunfee scored two and grabbed four boards. Wellston added another 10 in the second, and the score at halftime was 31-20. Meiss would let off the gas a little in the third quarter, putting up just seven points. But they held the Rockets to 12 and maintained a lead heading to the fourth. "Last game I felt like we got over the hunip. We came out and really did good in the third quarter against Eastern," said Ewing. "Tonight it just seemed Iike we coasted through the third quarter, didn't put, the pressure on them." Despite the misstep that was the third, the Marauders would be fine in the fourth, allowing just eight more Rocket points. Well, with nine, did most of the scoring for Meigs, who finished with 17 in the final period for a IS-point win. ''This is a very simple game sometimes, and we make it very hard,'' Ewing said. "I tell the kids, 'Run our things that we know how to run, do what we do best, and play hard.' That's what we try to do."

"This is a very special feeling for me for these guy~. 1 want good thing s to happen for them and that's what I've challenged .them to do," Saunders commented. "They are starling to see that they can win and they are starting to expect to win when they walk out on that floor. It's a totally different outlook than it was at the beginning of the year. .

Roberts had 15 at the half for the Tornadoes, while Rawson led his club with ten. Eastern outscored Southern 7-2 to open the second half.

Southern came right out of the gate with a back door lay-in to Bryan Harris, then Michael Manuel made good on a twisting lay-in off the glass (36-32) .'

Kleski nailed a deuce and a three-pointer for a 41-36 edge before Lynch hit a tri-fecta to once again close the gap to 4138. The excitement of the game poured out onto the floor, where players fought hard for every _inch of momentum. Southern pulled to a 43-39tally as the third quarter clock el\pired. Southern's Chapman and Eastern's Rawson traded buckets to start the final round, then Southern went on a 4-0 run capped by a . pair of free throws from Roberts, the score · 49-41. Chapman had another key goal m the run. The Tornadoes stretched it out to 54-43 at the 4:33 mark on a Harris tri-fecta, an act that prompted an Eastern time out. Southern continued the charge and Eastern continued to spiral, unable to muster enough energy to once. again claw back into the bout. 1\vo nails in the coffin included a baseball pass over the Eastern press from Manuel to Harris, then . five rebounds for the Marauders. Cameron Bolin added .three points, and Corey Hutton had one point to go with sil\ rebounds .. Meigs is now on a twogame winning streak heading into their final two regular season games.

Smail private school teams battle stereotypes, coaches say . . • • COLUMBUS (AP) With few exceptions, star basketball players at the growing number of -high schools with the surname Christian have a hard time gei\ing recognized, their coaches say. Although pnvate schools such .as Worthington Christian, Harvest Prep Academy and Wellington do well in the state tournament, most observers are oblivious to smaller schools' league affiliation or level of talent, Tree of Life coach Jim Morgan said. ' "Schools that . say 'Christian' get labeled by a lot of people,'' ·Morgan said. 'There's a perception that you play a lower level of basketball than everyone else ... unless yo ur ftrst name's Worthington." Morgan hopes that the top tier Christian programs will - get more respect as teams prove their worth. Tree of Life ( 14-2) has played in six consecuti ve Mid-Ohio Chri stian Athletic League champi- · onships, and in the upcoming district tournament. the school was seeded fifth. · Small private schools also must battle the myth that their players can't play a hard, physical ~ame , said Grove City Chn stian ·boys coach Kevin Teaford. Teaford said he works hard to educate fahs and tells his players that they· shouldn't buy into that stigma. His players have as much of an edge as those from the inner city, he said. "Most of the kids who come to our schools are academically oriented and very likely grew up in a different environment than those in P.ublic schools," Teaforrj,said. 'Because they're nice kids ' and smart kids, sqme assume that they can't be aggressive and tough." · Other · players remain unknown because their private schools aren't members of the Ohio High .School Athletic Association. Darren Schmelzer is central Ohio's leading scorer at 33.2 points per game, but his private, Jewish school, Columbus Torah Academy, is far from a hou sehold name. ·"This kid is special,'' Schmelzer's . coach, Eddie Karmia, said of the 6-foot-2 senior point guard. "He could play at any Division I program around here, and I'm sure he would be an impact player if he went to his home sc hool, Bexley, Celumbus Academy or anywhere else. I'm absolutelY. sure of that." It's been dtflicult .to break through stereotypes many have of small religious schools, Karmia said. Few of the state's · most reputable opponents are willing to schedule games or scrimmages · with more small schools because they' ve simply never heard of Torah Academy. · And, although SGhmelzer said a University of Wyoming assistant who worked with him during the summer rated him a Division 11 prospect, no schools have offefC<d him a scholarship. Coaches hope that as their relatively Qew school s many that opened only in the past decade - become more well known, their teams will be able to attract more student athletes. .

The audience responded with standing ovations to news of two major gifts to the institution. McDavis announced that the university and the Russ College 'of EngiJJeering and Technolegy r-ecently received $5 million from the estate of alumna Beth K. Stocker, bringing total giving by Stocker and her late husband, alumnus C. Paul Stocker. to $31.9 million. The president also shared news that the estate of longtime .friend Dolores H. Russ would provide an estimated $80 million in securities and real estate for the Russ College, named for Russ and her late husband, alumnus Fritz J. Russ. 'There are many details yet to finalize, but I wanted to share news of this transformational gift for our university and our Russ College with you today," he said. After the speech.

WASHINGTON The Appalachian Regional Commission joined the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in urging television viewers throughout ll)e Appalachian region to be prepared for the upcoming national conversion to all-digital television. After Feb. 17, 2009, full-power television stations will cease broadcasting.io analog and will broadcast in digital orily. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized tile distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station to start a digital channel while simultaneously continuing its analog channel. Later, Congress mandated that Feb. 17, 2009, would be the last'day for full-power television stations to broadcast in analog . . The switch from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. Broadcast stations in all U.S. markets are currently broadcasting in both analog and digital. "February 2009 will be here sooner than we think." -said ARC Federal Co-Chair Anne B. Pope. "Now is the time for us all to get up to speed on DTV: what is it; what does it mean to me; what do I need to do? We at the Appalachian Regional Commissio1,1 encourage everyone to educate themselves on this important issue." Digital broadcasting allows stations to offer improved picture and sound quality. Digital is also much more efficient than analog. Rather than being limited to providing one analog program, a broaclcaster is able to offer a super sharp "high definition" (HD) digital program or multiple "standard definition" (SO) digital programs simultaneously through a process called "multicasting." Multicasting · allows broadcast stations to offer several cha(lnels of digital programming at the same thne, using the same amount of spectrum required for one analog program. While a station broadcasting in analog on channel 7 is only able to offer viewers one program, a station broad- · casting in digital on channel 7 can offer viewers one digital program on channel7-l, a·second digitarprogram on channel 7-2, a third digital program on channel 7-3, and so on. This means more programming choices for viewers. Furthermore, DTV can provide interactive video and data services that are not possible with analog technol'ogy. An important benefit of th.e switch to all-digital broadcasting is that it will free up parts of the valuable broadcast spectrum for public safety communications (such as police, fire departments, and rescue squads). Some of the spectrum will also be auctioned to companies that will be able to provide consumers with more advanced wireless services (such as wireless broadband). · Cable and satellite TV subscribers with analog TYs hooked up to their cable or sa\ellite service should not be affected by the Feb. 17, 2009, cut-off date for full-power analog broadcasting, but they should contact their provider to fmd out if anything is needed to be prepared for the February deadline. There are many sources of information about the "digital transition, but one uf the best is the web site: www.dtv.gov. It contains .information about what DTV is, questions consumers should ask when purchasing new television sets, what programs are available in DTV, and much more.

' ·-- 7 NASA to launch Beatles tune 'Across the Universe' WASHINGTON (AP)The Beatles are 'about to become radio stars in a whole new way. NASA on Monday will broadcast the aeatles. song · "Across the Universe': across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star. This first-ever beaming of a radio song by the space ·agency directly into deep space is nostalgia-driven. It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song, the 4~th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network. which communicates with its distant probes, . and the 50th anniversary of NASA. "Send my love to the aliens," Paul · McCartney '· ' told NASA through a Beatles historian. "All the best, Paul." The song, written by McCartney and John Lennon, may have a ticket to ride and will be flying at the speed oflight. But it will take 431 years along a long and winding road to reach its final destination. That's because Polaris is 2.5 quadrillion miles away. NASA loaded an MP3 of the song, just und!!r fout minutes in its original version, and will transmit it digitally at 7 p.m. EST Monday from its giant antenna in Madrid, Spain. But if you wanted to hear it ·on Polaris, you would need an antenna and a receiver to convert it back to · music ~ the same way people receive satellite television. The idea . came from Martin Lewis, a Los Angeles-based Beatles historian, who then got permission from McCartney; Yoko Ono and the two companies that own the rights to Beatles' music. One of those companies, Apple, · was happy to approve the idea because is "always looking for new markets," Lewis said. Perhaps coincidentally, the song's launching comes a day before the release of the DVD of the Julie Taymor movie named after the Beatles hit. playing music, writing songs and singing all their life. They're the real deal." Adam, 31 , and Shannon, 33, both from Georgia, played in banos for years before they met in 1998. They wrote and performed togt<ther in Atlanta for about five years until, in one whirlwind week, they married and moved to Nashville. "We had started digging deep into the country catalog ·and fell in love with it and got excited by the simplicity of the writing and the · harmony singing," Shannon said. "We were pumped about coming to Nashville." But once here, it was more of the ·same. She waited tables and he worked in construction while they made music and looked for a deal. Finally, in 2005, Jackson signed them to his ACR label and released their debut, "Down This Road." "I thought they were at a point whece they were going to end up gettihg an offer somewhere," Jackson recalled. "I said ' I can put you on my label, and that way you can cut the record however you want to and do what you want to do."' · The star began the label as an offshoot for his side projects, like his 2006 gospel "Precious collection Memories." The Wrights are the only act he's signed it Jackson records hi& own material for Arista Nashville. While their debut didn't ]:>roduce any hits, it did get _ them exposure oh Country Music Television with a video for the album's title track. Htckson also recorded a couple of tpeir songs and took them on the road with him. ·For a songwriter, having a superstar record your tune is like striking oil. But while the Wrights were pleased, they couldn't get around the fact that Jackson is family. When veteran R&B singer Solomon Burke cov• erect one of their songs a couple years later for his album "Nashville ," they were thrilled. "To have somebody cut it who I have no relationshiP, with whatsoever was huge, ' Adam said . . "You open up the album and there we are beside Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Don Williams and Bruce Springsteen songs," Shannon added. "That's something we ' ll have forever." With the new record, the Wrights are bound to draw comparisons to classic male/female tandems like George Jones and Tammy Wynette. It's a sound that's been missing for a while and one that Jackson thinks i's Qverdue. 10 -~~ N C.~R,r.

Hospital closings concern advocates . .

Cambridge facility in eastern Ohio. Patients at the Dayton hospital will be transferred to state hospitals in .Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo. Patients at Cambridge will move to a facility in Athens i'n southeast Ohio. The Dayton hospital serves lowincome patients who are the. most chronically mentally ill, with serious disorders like schizophrenia, said Jennifer Davis-Berman, professor of social work at the University of Dayton. l'or those patients, she said, family support is crucial to their treatment and moving patients farther away wi II reduce·that support. "It's a .horrible blow," she said. "That's really · going to degrade the ability of families and friends to support their loved ones." Davis-Berman said moving the . patients farther from their family's homes will make it harder for the hospitals to find then housing and to check up on them when they are released. "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. Jim lgnelzi, deputy director at the . state mental health department, said half of the patients at the two hospitals are only there for a few weeks, and some of the remaining patients will actually be closer to their homes when they are transferred. .
