ORIGIN STORY


'Christmas In Two Egg' plays Dec.


18 at Lovedale Baptist Church


MARK SKINNER/FLORIlAN
Rhonda Melnik puts up Christmas decorations in the Lovedale Baptist Church Fellowship Hall on Wednesday. The church will host the
play, "Christmas in Two Egg:' written and narrated by Jackson County author Dale Cox on Sunday at 6 p.m.


Most of the actors

are from Two Egg
BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER
dbuckhalter@jcfloridan.com

Ever wonder how Two Egg got its
name? Theories abound, and no one is
sure .of the absolute truth. But the de-
bate makes for fun conversation, as the
community can see on Dec. 18, when.
the subject comes up for discussion in
a play written by Dale Cox.
"Christmas In-Two Egg". will be
presented -in the fellowship hall of


Lovedale Baptist Church that night, a
Sunday, at 6 p.m. Admission is free.
'Most of the actors are from Two Egg,
DellWood or communities in the im-
mediate vicinity, and most of them are
in their 60s or 70s. The youngest is in
her mid-40s or early 50s. One in the
troupe. Arthur Basford, is 80 years old.
Many are local farmers.
In one act, Basford and some of the
others talk about the stories they've
heard on the origins of Two Egg's
name. Most of their parents or other
elders lived in the community around
the time the town was named, during
the Great Depression. Cox didn't script
this part of the play as the actors will


tell their stories in their own words.
Cox said he felt that having them ad-lib
\ this scenewould be a more interesting
and entertaining approach than hav-
ing them memorize a script.
Considered one of the best and most
prolific historians dedicated to lo-
cal. legend, lore and fact, Cox wrote
the play in its current form based on
a short novel he published last year,
which he'd based on a longer form of
the play he'd written earlier.
Cox will be on hand to serve as nar-
rator, tying the play's five acts together
with readings from the novel.

Grand Ridge

Man


sentenced


for Microtel


meth fire
From staff reports
The second of two people arrested
following a meth-related fire at the Mi-
crotel in 2009 has been sentenced.
After pleading no contest to. arson,
unlawful possession of a listed chemi-
cal and the attempted manufacture of
a controlled substance (methamphet-
amine), Grand Ridge resident Noah
Damian Johnson was sentenced to time
served, three years probation on two
of the charges, along with two years of
community control and 10 years ad-
ministrative probation to follow.
Johnson spent three months in the
Jackson County jail .and completed a
one-year drug treatment program, ac-
cording to court records.
His co-defendant, Alicia Baxter, was
offered a similar plea deal and initially
accepted it but then opted for a trial, ac-
cording to court officials. She was-sen-
tenced to 20 years in prison following
her conviction earlier this year.

WM's Springhill Regional Landfill gets re-certified


Special to the Floridan

At its 23rd annual Sympo-
sium,.People, Partnerships and
Pathways, the Wildlife Habitat
Council presented Waste Man-
agement's Springhill Regional
Landfill with its Corporate Lands
for Learning program re-certifi-
cation. According to a press re-
lease from Waste Management,
thisre-certificationis one ofWM's
128 WHC-certified programs at
110 sites company-wide.
"WHC .believes that collabo-
ration among all stakeholder
groups is critical to addressing
the complex issues facing the
sustainability of the planet," said
Robert Johnson, WHC presi-
4rent. "Congratulations to Waste


Management for their commit-
ment to a healthy natural world
and connected communities."
Springhill Regional Landfill's
wildlife program aims to con-
tinue to conserve, enhance and
protect habitat resources on-site
and to stimulate community in-
volvement, according to the re-
lease. Since 2007, the Corporate
Lands for Learning program at
the landfill has allowed learners
to experience the site's wildlife
habitat value first-hand. Habi-
tat is showcased in three focus
areas; ponds, where students
spy alligators and numerous
fish; forests, where deer .tracks,
bird nest boxes and other ani-
mal signs can be observed, and
the forested wetland, where


learners walk on a recycled plas-
tic boardwalk.
As part of its community out-
reach efforts, WM will host a se-
ries of field trips for fourth- and
fifth-grade students from several
Dothan City Schools during the
2011-2012 school term. These
field trips are part of their com-
mitment as a corporate level
adopter of the school system.
"There's a saying 'it takes a vil-
lage to raise a child.' Well,. that
notion certainly applies here.
Without the active engagement
of our volunteer groups earn-
ing this prestigious certification
may not have been possible,"
said Jeff Massey, Springhill Re-
gional Landfill district manager
for Waste Management. "To see


WM employees working side by
side with our neighbors and cus-
tomers to improve the environ-
ment brings back a real sense of
community for everyone. I can
truly say I am proud of what we

Troop 3 Boy Scouts


study astronomy


Special to the Floridan

Troop 3 Boy Scouts met
for their weekly meeting
on Nov. 27, and began an
exciting urit of study on
astronomy, with Scout
Master Bill Kleinhans as
instructor.
"Mr. K.," as the boys call
him, taught the scouts
how to find directions us-
ing the sun by the "Watch
Method." This technique
involves laying a watch
completely level and plac-
ing a short, straight twig
upright against the edge
of the watch at the point of
the hour hand. The watch
is turned until the shadow
of the twig falls along the
hour hand's position. Fi-
nally, noticing the angle
formed 'between the nu-
meral 12 and the shadow
lying on the hour hand,
a line from the center of
the watch that divides that


angle' in half will point
south. Kleinhans used a
dry erase board and lan-
tern to help demonstrate
the technique.
Troop 3 scouts contin-
ued this unit of study by at-
tending the "Night of Star
Gazing" Dec. 3 at Florida
Caverns State Park, where
the Tallahassee Astronom-
ical Society provided op-
portunities, to learn more
about stars, planets and
other constellations with
the use of large, powerful
telescopes.
The Marianna Optimist
Club is the chartering or-
ganization for Troop 3 Boy
Scouts.

tronomical Society, visit

Students outperforming peers in big cities


The Associated Press

MIAMI -. Students in two of
Florida's largest.districts are out-
performing their peers in math
and reading at other large, urban
schools, according to fest scores
released Wednesday.
Results from the National As-
sessment of Educational Prog-
ress, also known as the Nation's
Report Card, show fourth- and
eighth-grade students in Miami-
Dade and Hillsborough coun-
ties had higher average scores at
nearly every level.
Hillsborough had the highest
average fourth grade reading
score of all 21 urban districts
studied, and tied for first with
Charlotte, N.C., in eighth grade.
Hillsborough tied for second at
both grade levels on the math
portion of the exam.
Superintendent MaryEllen Elia
credited the district's partner-
ship with the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation for the high
scores. The foundation has com-
mitted to providing $100 million

Study: Medicaid premiums too high


The Associated Press

MIAMI New premi-
ums and copay propos-
als for Florida -Medicaid
beneficiaries, including
$100 for every non-emer-
gency ER visit, are among
the highest in the country
and a new study warns it
could cause hundreds of
thousands to drop out be-
cause they can't afford to
pay them, according to a
report released Wednesday
by Georgetown University.
"This is a very radical
proposal which would un-
dermine the progress Flor-
ida has made in covering
children," said Joan Alker,
co-executive director of.
the Georgetown University
research center.
Nearly a dozen states saw
enrollment declines as a
result of new or increased
premiums charged to
Medicaid beneficiaries,
although specific policies
varied considerably, ac-
cording to the report.
The majority of people
enrolled in Florida's Med-
icaid program are below
the poverty level of $22,314
for a family of four. ,
The state's Medicaid
overhaul also requires
beneficiaries to pay a $10
per. person monthly pre-
mium, according to state
health 'officials, -meaning


$40 for a family of four.
Advocates warn those
monthly charges add up
and will overburden the
state's poorest.
Florida lawmakers
passed sweeping changes
to the Medicaid program
this past session, plac-
ing the care of the state's
most vulnerable residents,
mostly children, into the
hands of private provid-
ers and hospital networks.
Lawmakers said the rough-
ly $20 billion a year Medic-
aid costs are a strain on a
tight state budget and the
program couldn't continue
without changes.
The bills expand on a
controversial five-county
pilot program that .pays
for-profit providers a set
fee to cover recipients
and allows providers great
flexibility in determining
patient coverage. Doctors
have dropped out of the
program, complaining of
red tape and that the in-
surers deny the tests and
medicine they prescribe.
Patients have complained
they struggled to get doc-
tor's appointments. Sup-
porters of the overhaul say
new accountability mea-
sures will address those
concerns.
But the state needs
permission from federal
health officials to continue

Trailer full of gifts for
needy families stolen
ORLANDO Hundreds
'of presents have been sto-
len from a central Florida
charity for needy families.
Teddy bears, dolls, dia-
pers and cribs were stolen
when thieves used a bolt
cutter to unlock a 12-foot
trailer jammed with gifts
this weekend. The Orlando
Sentinel reports the trailer

more than 500 families

says she doesn't know
what she'll do now..
Years ago, an anony-
mous donor provided gift's
for her own children after
picking their names from
an angel donanonr nee.
Bowman says the idea that
someone cared enough to"
buy gifts for a stranger's
kids changed her and she
vowed to help others.

Woman sentenced
for child porn
FORT MYERS -A
southwest Florida woman
has been sentenced to 25
years in prison for produc-

pornography.
Federal prosecutors in
Fort Myers said Tuesday.
that 31-year-old Candice
Marie Miller produced
sexually explicit images
of her two children and
distributed about 100 of
[them to a man she met


in an Internet chat room.
Miller was found with 500
images of child pornogra-
phy on a computer.
She pleaded guilty in July

mez De Molina imported
animal parts for use in
bizarre sculptures that
sold up to $80,000.
He pleaded guilty Thurs-

been negotiating for about
six months and talks are
likely to continue into next
year.
New Jersey lawmakers
tried a similar proposal
earlier this year, moving
Medicaid participants
into managed care plans
and requiring a $25 copay
for non-emergency room
ER visits. But that fee was
dropped after stakehold-
ers warned it wasn't likely
to deter behavior and that
hospitals would have trou-
ble collecting the money.
In 2003, Oregon in-
creased Medicaid pre-
miums for poor adults

enrollment dropped by
nearly half, or roughly
50,000 people. Enrollment
dipped 30 percent in Mis-

tion of new premiums in

.But Florida lawmak-
ers say Medicaid patients
should not receive better
or worse benefits than res-
idents who pay for private
insurance and want Med-
icaid recipients to chip in
on costs.
The $100 copayshouldn't
be an issue because more
families will receive medi-
cal treatment from primary
care clinics instead of rely-,
ing on emergency rooms
for minor problems.
"I do not believe Med-
icaid recipients will drop
out because the benefits in
Medicaid ate very gener-
ous and other health care
options are unavailable,"
said Sen. Joe Negron, who
spearheaded the passage
of the health bills.

Blagojevich gets 14 years in prison


The Associated Press

CHICAGO Rod
Blagojevich, the ousted
Illinois governor whose
three-year battle against
criminal charges became
a national spectacle, was
sentenced to 14 years in
prison Wednesday, one of
the stiffest penalties im-
posed for corruption in
a state with a history of
crooked politics.
Among his 18 convic-
tions is the explosive
charge that he tried to
leverage his power to ap-
point someone to Presi-
dent Barack Obama's
vacated Senate seat in ex-
change for campaign cash
or land a high-paying job.
Judge James Zagel gave
Blagojevich some credit
for taking responsibility
for his actions which
the former governor did
in an address to the court
earlier in the day but
said that didn't mitigate
his crimes. Zagel also
said Blagojevich did good
things for people as gov-
ernor, but was more con-
cerned about using his
powers for himself.
"When it is the governor
who goes bad, the fabric
of Illinois ig torn and dis-
figured and not easily re-
paired," Zagel said.
As the judge announced
the sentence, which in-
cludes a $20,000 fine,
Blagojevich hunched for-
wardandhis face appeared
frozen. Minutes later, his
wife, Patti Blagojevich,
stood up and fell into her
husband's arms. He pulled
back to brush tears off her
cheek and then rubbed
her shoulders.
On his way out of the,
courthouse, Blagojev-
ich cited author Rudyard
Kipling and said it was a
time to be strong, to fight
through adversity and be
strong for his children. He
said he and his wife were
heading home to speak to
their daughters, and then
left without t answering

The twice-elected Dem-
ocrat received by far the
harshest sentence among
the four Illinois gover-
nors sent to prison in the
last four decades. .He is
the second in a row to go"
to prison; his 'Republi-
can predecessor, George
Ryan, currently is serving
6 1/2 years. The other two

an apology. After years of
insisting he was innocent,
he told the judge he'd
made "terrible mistakes"
and acknowledged that he
broke the law.
"I caused it all, I'm not
blaming anybody," Blago-
jevich said. "I was the gov-
ernor and I should have
known better and I am
just so incredibly sorry."
But Zagel gave him little
leeway.
"Whatever good things
you did for people as gov-
ernor, and you did some, I
am more concerned with
the occasions when you
wanted to use your pow-
ers ... to do things that
were only good for your-
self," Zagel said.
The judge said he did
not believe Blagojevich's
contention, as his lawyers
wrote in briefings, that
`his comments about the
corruption schemes were
simply '-.musings." Zagel
said the* jury concluded
and he agreed that Biago-
jevich was engaged in ac-
tual schemes, and the un--
deniable leader of those
schemes.
"The governor was not

nal path by his staff," Zagel
said. "He marched them."
Prosecutors had asked.
for a sentence of 15 to 20"
years; which Blagojevich's :
attorneys said was too.
harsh. The defense also
presented heartfelt ap-


peals from Blagojevich's
family, including letters
from his wife and one of
his two daughters that
pleaded for mercy.
But the judge made it
clear early in the- hear-
ing that he believed that
Blagojevich had lied on
the witness stand when he
tried to explain his schem-
ing for the Senate seat, and
he did not believe defense
suggestions that the for-
mer governor was duped
by his advisers.

dered to begin serving his'
sentence on Feb. 16. In

memorial ceremony on Wednesday in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.


Pearl Harbor survivors



group: We will disband


The Associated Press

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii
- About 120 survivors of
the Pearl. Harbor bomb-
ing commemorated the
Japanese attack and the
thousands who lost their
lives that day 70 years ago
by observing a moment of
silence on Wednesday.
During the ceremony, a
group of survivors of the
Dec. 7, 1941, attack an-
nounced that they would
disband at the end of the
month. William Muehleib,
president of the Pearl Har-
bors Association, cited
age and poor health of the
remaining members.
Survivors will be able to
attend future commemo-
ration ceremonies on their
own. About 3,000 people,
including Navy Secretary
Ray Mabus and military
leaders, attended this year's
70th anniversary event at a
site overlooking the sunken
USS Arizona and the white
memorial that straddles
the battleship.
"It was time. Some of the
requirements became a
burden," Muehleib said af-
ter the ceremony. Most of
the survivors have realized
that at their age, there are
other things they'd like to
do, he said.
He said the association
has 2,700 members but
there are an estimated
7,000 to 8,000 Pearl Harbor
survivors. Local chapters
will function as long as
they have members and
survivors can gather so-
cially, but they will no lon-
ger have a formal, national
organization.
The group's announce-
ment came as President
Barack Obama hailed vet-
erans of the bombing in


a statement proclaiming
Wednesday as "National
Pearl Harbor Remem-
brance Day." The attack
brought the United States
into World War II.
"Their tenacity helped
define the Greatest Gener-
ation and their valor forti-
fied all who served during
World War II. As a nation,
we look to December 7,
1941, to draw strength
from the example setfby
these patriots and to honor
all who have sacrificed for
our freedoms," he said.
Also this week, five ash
scattering and interment
ceremonies are being held
for five survivors whose
cremated remains are re-
turning to Pearl Harbor
after their deaths.
On Tuesday, an urn con-
taining the ashes of Lee
Soucy was -placed on his
battleship, the USS Utah,
which is lying on its side
near the place where it
sank. The ashes of Vernon
Olsen, who was on the Ari-
zona during the attack, will


be placed on his ship late
Wednesday. The U.S. lost
12 vessels that day, but the
Arizona and the Utah are
the only ones still sitting in
the harbor.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is greeted by
members of the audience after she defended the rights of
lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender persons from around
the world on Human Rights Day in a speech entitled "Free and
Equal in Dignity and Rights," at the United Nations in Geneva,
Switzerland on Tuesday.

Obama, Clinton


to world: Stop gay


discrimination,


The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO The
Obama administration's
declaration that it plans
to use foreign assistance,
international diplomacy
and political asylum to
promote gay rights abroad
is a momentous step that
could dangerouslybackfire
if not pursued with delica-
cy and an appreciation of
how the challenges faced
by gays and lesbians, vary
by nation, human rights
activists said.
President Barack Obama,
in a memorandum to ex-
ecutive departments, and
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton, during
a speech before the U.N.
Human Rights Council, is-
sued a coordinated denun-
ciation Tuesday of anti-gay
discrimination, stating
that equal treatment of
gay, lesbian and transgen-
der people was an explicit
U.S. foreign policy goal,
The White House said
the twin moves represent-
ed the U.S. government's
first comprehensive strat-
egy to, combat sexual ori-
entation-based human
rights abuses around the
world. Gay rights groups
cheered the actions, not-
ing that gays and lesbians
can be arrested, tortured
and even executed in some
countries.
Wayne Besen, founder
of Truth Wins Out, a group
that monitors religious
organizations with anti-
gay views, listed Russia,
Nigeria, Cameroon, Ugan-
da, Iran and Zimbabwe
among the nations that
had recently "declared war
on... sexual minorities" and
said that he hoped they
would be chastened by the
administration's blunt talk.
"This was one of those
times where our nation
demonstrated true inter-
national leadership and
made me incredibly proud
to be an American,"' Be-


sen said. "There were no
carefully crafted and focus
grouped code words that
sugarcoated the abuses
- just the honest truth
spoken from the heart."
Other activists focused
on gay rights infernation-
ally were more restrained
in their praise. Neil Grun-
gras, founder of the San
Francisco-based organi-
zation for Refuge, Asylum
and Migration, which rep-
resents gay asylum-seek-
ers, said it was critical for
the administration to se-
cure allies on every conti-
nent to avoid looking like
it was imposing Ameri-
can values on parts of the
world that view the West
with mistrust or hostility.
Recalling how large
demonstrations, broke
out in Pakistani in June
after staff at the U.S. Em-
bassy held a gay pride
celebration there, he said
that Obama's sincere com-
mitment to improving the
gay rights picture globally
could inadvertently make
life worse for gays and
lesbians abroad.
"This cannot be seen as
a U.S.-only issue because
at the end of the day that
would be counter-produc-
tive," said Grungras, who
was in the audience for
Clinton's speech.
In his presidential memo,
Obama directed the State
Department, the U.S.
Agency for International
Development and other
agencies to make sure U.S.
diplomacy and foreign as-
sistance helps gays and
lesbians who are facing hu-
man rights violations. He
also ordered U.S. agencies
to protect vulnerable gay
and lesbian refugees and
asylum seekers. But. the'
directive does not make
foreign aid contingent on
a nation's gay rights record
or include sanctions for
poor performers, making
the policy more of a moral
challenge than a threat.


HHS says no to over-the-



counter morning-after pill


The Associated Press

WASHINGTON In a surprise
move, the nation's health secretary
stopped the Plan B morning-after
pill from moving onto drugstore
shelves next to the condoms, de-
ciding Wednesday that young girls
shouldn't be able to buy it on their
own.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion was preparing to lift a contro-
versial age limit and make Plan B
One-Step the nation's first over-the-
counter emergency contraceptive,
available for purchase by people of
any age without a prescription.
But Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius inter-
vened at the eleventh, hour and
overruled her own experts.
Plan B instead will remain behind
the pharmacy counter, as it is sold
today available without a pre-
scription only for those 17 and older
who show an ID proving their age.
Sebelius'. reason: Some girls as
young as 11 are physically capable
of bearing children, and Plan B's
maker didn't prove that younger
girls could properly understand
how to use this product without
guidance from an adult.
"It is common knowledge that
there are significant cognitive and
behavioral differences between old-


"What else can this be but
politics? It's not science. It's
not medicine. It's not women's
health."
Cynthia Pearson,
executive director of the National Women's
Health Network

er adolescent girls and the youngest
girls of reproductive age," Sebelius
said in a statement. "I do not believe
enough data were presented to sup-
port the application to make Plan B
One-Step available over-the-coun-
ter for all girls of reproductive age."
It was the latest twist in a nearly
decade-long push for over-the-
counter sales of pills that can
prevent pregnancy if taken, soon
enough after unprotected sex. Ma-
jor doctors' groups and women's
health advocates say easier; quicker
access to those pills could cut the
nation's high number of unplanned
pregnancies.
The decision shocked maker Teva
Pharmaceuticals, which had been
gearing up for over-the-counter
sales to begin by month's end, and
women's health groups.
"We are outraged that this ad-
ministration has let politics trump
science," said Kirsten Moore of the


Reproductive Health Technologies
Project, an advocacy group. "There
is no rationale for this move."
"What else can this be but poli-
tics?" said Cynthia Pearson, execu-
tive director of the National Wom-
en's Health Network, an advocacy
group that supports making Plan B
available to all ages. "It's not science.
It's not medicine. It's not women's
health."
Indeed, FDA Commissioner Dr.
Margaret Hamburg made clear in
her own statement that the deci-
sion is highly unusual. She said her
agency's drug-safety experts had
carefully considered the question of
young girls and she had agreed that
Plan B's age limit should be lifted.
"There is adequate and reason-
able, well-supported and science-
based evidence that Plan B One-
Step is safe and effective and should
be approved for nonprescription
use for all females of child-bearing
potential," Hamburg wrote.
But, she added, she had fol-
lowed her boss' order to deny Teva's
application.
"We commend the FDA for mak-
ing the recommendation ... and we
are disappointed that at this late
date, the Department of Health and
Human Services has come to a dif-
ferent conclusion," said a statement
Teva issued Wednesday.


Simpler credit card agreement gets a tryout


The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -A sim-
pler credit card agreement
is getting a tryout.
The Consumer Finan-
cial Protection Bureau
on Wednesday released a
prototype of a credit card
agreement that's written
in plain English. The idea
is to sweep away the legal-
ese and make it easier for
consumers to understand
a card's costs and terms.
The agency is asking
for the public's feedback
on the model agreement,
which can be found at
www.consumerfinance.
gov/ credit-cards/know
beforeyouowe.
For now, there are no
plans to require credit


card companies to adopt
the form. But if the agency
decided to make the form
mandatory once its test-
ing phase is over, it could
establish a consistent, in-
dustrywide template that
would make it easier for
consumers to comparison
shop for cards.
As it stands, the Con-
sumer Financial Protec-
tion Bureau noted that the
average credit card agree-
ment runs 5,000 words
and is packed with fine
print that consumers don't
understand.
The prototype agree-
ment, by contrast, is just
over 1,000 words and is
broken down into three
key sections costs,
changes and additional


information.
The form will be tested
over the first half of 2012
with new credit card ap-
plicants at the Pentagon
Federal Credit Union,
one of the nation's largest
credit unions. Some ap-
plicants will get the exist-
ing version of the credit
union's card agreement so
that the CFPB can com-
pare consumer feedback.
The American Bankers-
Association, which rep-
resents the banking in-
dustry, praised the model
form as a "good first step,"
but said it could be made
even shorter and less sus-
ceptible to costly lawsuits.


The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureauwas cre-
ated as part of the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection
Act to police the finan-
cial products marketed to
consumers.
Consumer advocates
have said that clearer
mortgage disclosures
could have helped prevent
the subprime crisis that
precipitated the financial
meltdown.
Since it officially began
operations this summer,
the agency has focused
on simplifying the disclo-
sures consumers receive
with financial products.

Cops arrest man in Ga. girl's murder


The Associated Press

CANTON, Ga. A 20-
year-old maintenance
worker was arrested
Wednesday in the beat-
ing death .of a 7-year-old
north Georgia girl who
was abducted and killed
at an apartment complex
and her body left'in a trash
bin.
Ryan Brunn, who lived
and worked at the apart,
ment complex, was jailed
on a murder warrant, said
Georgia Bureau of Inves-
tigation Director Vernon
Keenan.
Jorelys Rivera was last
seen Friday evening leav-
ing the playground to
walk back home to get
drinks for her friends. Au-
thorities said they believe
she was taken to an empty
apartment in the complex,
where she was sexually as-
saulted, stabbed and beat-
en to death. Her body was
found Monday.
Keenan said Bninn, who
has no known criminal
record, had keys to the
empty apartment and
the trash compactor bin
where Rivera's body was
placed.
"We are confident that
Brunn is the killer and that
is why he is in custody,"
Keenan said, declining to
detail what evidence in-
vestigators have against
him.

obtained by The Associ-

Big promise is seen in 2 new breast cancer drugs


The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO Breast
cancer experts are cheer-
ing what could be some
of the biggest advances in
more than a decade: Two
new' medicines that sig-
nificantly delay the time
until women with very ad-
vanced cases get worse..
In a large international
study, an experimental
drug from Genentech
called pertuzumab held
cancer at ba'y for a median
of 18 months when given
'with standard 'treatment,
versus 12 months for oth-
ers given, only the usual
treatment. It also strongly
appears to be improving
survival; aind follow- up
is continuing to see if it
does.
"You don'f see -that very
often. ... It's a spectacu-
lar result," said one study
leader, Dr. Sandra Swain,
medical director of Wash-
ington: Hospital Center's
cancer institute."

for a median of 7 months
in women whose disease
was worsening despite
treatment with hormone-.
blocking drugs. A compar--
ison group that received
only hormonal medicine
had just a 3-month delay
in disease progression.
Afinitor works in a novel
way, seems "unusually ef-
fective" and sets a new
standard of care, said Dr.

Germany, France scale


back ambitions of summit


The Associated Press

BERLIN German and
French officials lowered
expectations Wednesday
for a deal to save the euro
at this week's European
summit, deflating inves-
tors' hopes for a broad
resolution to Europe's debt
crisis.
Instead of a new treaty
among the 27 members
of the European Union, a
French official suggested
a more likely outcome will
be an accord by the 17 na-
tions. that use the euro. A
German official said reach-
ing a deal might take until
Christmas.
The summit, which be-
gins Thursday night, has
been described as do-or-
die for some eurozone
countries, whose econo-
mies are being dragged
down by crippling debts.
Further urgency was add-
ed after the ratings agency
Standard & Poor's threat-
ened to downgrade Euro-
pean bonds. That would
likely make it more expen-
sive for governments to.
borrow.
German Chancellor An-
gela Merkel and French
President Nicolas Sar-
kozy released the details
Wednesday of a plan for
eurozone nations to sub-
mit their economies to
tighter scrutiny from a cen-
tral European authority.
That proposal was
cheered by markets be-
cause investors believe
such an agreement would
push the European Central
Bank to take bolder action
to reduce borrowing costs.
for Italy, Spain. and other
heavily indebted countries.
That would give govern-
ments time to strengthen
their finances.
After Thursday's ,com-
ments by the German of-
ficial, who like the French
official spoke on condition
of anonymity because the
talks are ongoing, the mar-
kets turned lower. Germa-
ny's main stock index fell
1.1 percent, while in the
U.S. the Dow Jones indus-
trial average dropped 0.6
percent. The euro shed 0.3
percent to $1.3358.
"There is a very, very
strong expectation that
the summit is going to be
a success so there is some
potential for disappoint-

in Paris on Wednesday.


ment," said Stefan Sch-
neider, chief international
economist at Deutsche
Bank. "But if there is a con-
vincing plan, which in
-contrast to some of the
previous plans might
survive the next two or
three weeks, then that
could support markets
in the first two or three
months of next year."
In their letter to EU
President Herman Van
Rompuy, Merkel and Sar-
kozy stressed a decision
was needed at this week's
meeting to have the new
treaty in place by March.
"We are convinced that
we need to act without de-
lay," they wrote.
Herman Van Rompuy,
the president of the Euro-
pean Council, offered an
alternative way to secure
future fiscal discipline. He
favors simply amending
existing rules that apply to
the 17 countries that use
the euro. That would allow
leaders to avoid the tricki-
er step of requiring every
country to approve the
new treaty through parlia-
mentary votes.. ,
The German official dis-
missed the proposal as a
"typical Brussels bag of
tricks" that '"lag behind
both public and market
expectations."
He insisted that to restore
lost trust in the euro cur-
rency and calm markets,
Europe needed the legiti-
macy of a properly agreed
and ratified treaty.
"If several rounds of ne-
gotiations are necessary
for that then we are also
. prepared for that," the of-
ficial said, adding "there
is still no majority on new


treaty changes among
the member states and
institutions."
Indeed, he suggested the
talks, scheduled to wrap
up late Friday, might take
longer to reach an agree-
ment on the broad strokes
of treaty changes.
"We have made no plans
for the weekend," he said.
The senior French of-
ficial said Paris expects to
strike a deal with at least
the eurozone's 17 members
- and others who want
to join voluntarily by
Friday night.,
Certain provisions in the
Franco-German proposal,
such as setting automatic
penalties for countries that
overspend, are controver-
sial and have the potential.
to delay an agreement.
The 10 EU countries that
do not use the euro are
concerned that they'll be
left out of future economic;
discussions that would
affect all of Europe. Ger-
many has insisted that any
interested countries would
be welcome to adopt the
changes of the eurozone
17. British leader David
Cameron is wary of losing
influence within Europe if
France and Germany cre-
ate a tighter club of euro-
zone nations. His govern-
ment also does not want
to transfer any of its deci-
sion-making powers to
Brussels.
Earlier Wednesday, U.S.
Treasury Secretary Timo-
thy Geithner struck a more
optimistic tone on the
prospects for a deal.
"We are very encouraged
with the progress that is
being made,". Geithner
said to reporters.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this undated image provided by ABC, Syrian President Bashar AI-Assad speaks with ABC
News Anchor Barbara Walters for an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC.

Syria's president denies ordering

brutal crackdown on uprising


The Associated Press

SBEIRUT Syrian President Bashar
Assad said in a rare interview broadcast
Wednesday that he never ordered the
brutal suppression of the uprising in his
country and insisted only a "crazy per-
son" would kill his own people.
Apparently trying to distance himself
from violence that the U.N. says has
killed 4,000 people since March, Assad
laughed off a question about whether he
feels any guilt.
"I did my best to protect the people,"
he told ABC's Barbara Walters during an
interview at the presidential palace in
the Syrian capital, Damascus. "You feel
sorry for the life that has been lost, but
you don't feel guilty when you don't kill
people.".
"No government in the world skills) its;
people unless it is led by a crazy person,"
Assad added in the interview, which
was conducted in English. Assad, who
trained as an opthamologist in Britain,
speaks the language fluently.
The interview offered a rare glimpse
into the character of the 46-year-old
Assad, who inherited power from his
father in 2000. His brother widely re-
garded as the chosen heir had died in
a car crash years earlier.
Assad, who commands Syria's armed
forces, has sealed off the country to
most outsiders while clinging to the al-
legation that the uprising is the work of
foreign extremists, not true reform-seek-
ers aiming to open the authoritarian po-
litical system. The United Nations and
others dismiss that entirely, blaming the


regime for widespread killings, rape and
torture. Witnesses and activists inside
Syria describe brutal repression, with
government forces firing on unarmed
protesters and conducting terrifying,
house-to-house raids in which families
are dragged from their homes in the
night.
"They're not my forces," Assad re-
sponded when asked if Syrian troops had
cracked down too hard on protesters.
"They are military forces (who) belong
to the government. I don't own them. I'm
president. I don't own the country."
He said some Syrian troops may have
behaved badly, but they faced punish-
ment if so. He also said most of the peo-
ple who died in the unrest were his own
supporters and troops, slain by terrorists
and gangsters an allegation disputed
by most outside observers.
The comment that Syrian troops are
"not my forces" raised flags in Syria and
abroad because it suggests Assad might
uhim.ately try to lay the blame on his in-
feriors, analysts said.
"Those around him got the message,
which is he could abandon them at any
moment," said Muhieddine Lathkani, a
Syrian opposition figure in Britain.
Murhaf Jouejati, a Syria expert at
George- Washington University, said
Assad's interview was both "defiant and
delusional."
"He is the commander in chief of the
armed forces," Jouejati said. "To say that
the security forces do not have orders to
kill or to brutalize the people that it's
maybe the mistake of some bad apples
- is not a response."

Late charge lifts




Hornets past Gators


BY DUSTIN KENT
dkent@jcfloridan.com
The Cottondale Hornets overcame a
13-point second half deficit to pull out
a 66-60 road victory over the Wewahi-
tchka Gators on Tuesday night to stay
perfect in District 3-1A competition.
The Hornets (5-1) went on a 10-0
run to close the game to improve to 4-
0 in league play.
Jerrod Blount scored 31 points to
lead Cottondale, while Theryl Brown
scored 22 in the loss for the Gators.
Wewahitchka jumped on the visit-
ing Hornets early, taking a 16-4 lead


to start the game, but Cottondale
was able to fight back to cut the mar-
gin to four at 20-16 at the end of the
period.
The Hornets pulled ahead by a point
in the second quarter, but the Gators
answered with an 11-0 spurt to go
back up 36-26.
However, Cottondale kept the lead
within striking distance at 38-31 at the
half, but the Gators again responded
with a run of their own to push the
lead back out to double figures.
Wewa led 50-37 late in the third pe-
riod before the Hornets went on a 7-2
spurt to make it 52-44 going into the


fourth.
Prentice Webb knocked down a 3-
pointer for Cottondale to start the
final period, and the Gators were un-
able to shake free from the Hornets
again.
Trailing 60-56 with 3:13 remaining,
Cottondale scored 10 points in a row,
with a basket by Blount off of a pass
from DJ Roulhac with just under two
minutes to play putting the Hornets
up for good 61-60.

BY DUSTIN KENT
dkent@jcfloridan.cc rn

The Malone Tigers posted an-
other dominant victory Tuesday
night at home, routing the Paxton
Bobcats 65-29.
It was a matchup of undefeated
5-0 District 1-1A teams comiing in,
but the game proved to hardly be a ,':
meeting of equals.
Malone led from the start, going
up 26-14 at the half and using a 20- "
4 run in the secondhalf to blow the
.game open.
Ty Baker had 1. points and 15
rebounds to lead the Tigers. while
Chai Baker added 13 points and:, .

Antwain Johnson scored eight for
Malone and Chris Murff had sx.


"It was probably the best game
we've played all year," Tigers coach
Steven Welch said after the game.
"It was one of our best efforts. no
doubt. Maybe the best was the win
over Cottondale, but we played
with great defensive, energy all
night (against Paxton)."
The Bobcats were. averaging 67
points .per game coming in, but
were not able to crack the 20-point
barrier in either half Tuesday.
Star guard Marcus Bradley came
in averaging 24 points per game
for Paxton, but was held to three
by the Tigers while being guarded
primarily by Nlurff.
r'Murff did a great job on him,
and collectihely we did a good job
defensively," Welch said. "(Bradley i
is avery good player. He's a talented
kid, he just couldn't get an opening
tonight."
Chad Zessin led Paxton with 13
points.
Welch said that even though he
was very impressed by his team's
performance, he believes the Ti-
gers will see a much different Bob-
cats team the next time they do
battle.-
"The score is ve-r surprising to
me because I thought it would be
,a grind-it-out dogfight," he said.
"They are pretty good. I don't think
we got a true glimpse of how good
they are. We just got rolling."

Marlins show Jose Reyes the love and money


The Associated Press

DALLAS -Jose Reyes felt
the love from the Miami
Marlins. And the money.
When the free-agent
signing period began last
month, the Marlins want-
ed to meet the All-Star
shortstop right away as
in not a minute to spare.
So owner Jeffrey Loria
and top baseball executive
Larry Beinfest arranged
a midnight rendezvous
with Reyes and his agent
in Bemelmans Bar at The
Carlyle, the New York hotel
famous for hosting Presi-
dent John E Kennedy and
Marilyn Monroe a half-
century ago.
"12:01. Those guys are
crazy," Reyes said Wednes-
day, when his $106 million,
six-year contract was final-
ized. "They showed me a
lot of love."
Leaving the cash-
strapped New York Mets,
who signed him when he
was 16, Reyes accepted
an offer that pays him $10
million in each of the next
two seasons, $16 million
in 2014 and $22 million
in each of the final three
years. Miami has a $22 mil-
lion option for 2018 with a
$4 million buyout, which
could raise the total to
$124 million.
Reeling from three
straight. losing .seasons,
$70 million in losses and
a lawsuit seeking to re-
cover money from their
owners for the victims of
the Bernard Madoff Ponzi
scheme, the Mets never
inade a formal proposal to
retain their first NL batting
champion.
"They didn't make a real
offer, so that means they
don't want me there,"


THEASSOCIATED PRESS
Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria (right) looks over to Jose Reyes during a news conference
at the Major League Baseball 2011 Winter Meetings in Dallas on Wednesday. The Marlins
introduced the newly signed free-agent shortstop.


Reyes said. "I need to move
on."
After trading Francisco
Rodriguez and Carlos Bel-
tran, All-Stars are disap-
pearing as fast from the
Citi Field home clubhouse
as spectators are from
the stands. Reyes sound-
ed hurt that the Mets
made little effort to retain
him.
"If you're asking whether
I should have sent him
a box of chocolates, per-
haps I should have done
that," general manager
Sandy Alderson said. "But
on the other hand, the box
of chocolates would have
cost $106 million."
Wearing the new look of
the Marlins a cap with
a blue, white, orange and
yellow "M" with a swoosh
that looks like it could be a


logo for a fast food chain -
Reyes' dreadlocks dangled
onto the white jersey of the
team, which was renamed
from the Florida Marlins
as it prepares to move into
its $515 million downtown
ballpark next season.
It appears as Reyes' bank
account swells, his hair will
shorten.
"We have team rules,
Period," Loria said. "Every-
body adheres to them."
Beinfest, Miami's presi-
dent of baseball opera-
tions, said he arrived at
11:56 p.m. for the initial
meeting.
"Jeffrey walked into the
Hotel Carlyle with a long
overcoat because it was
about 12 degrees out,'and
under the overcoat was
the Jose Reyes new Mar-
lins jersey that had not


been released yet," he
said. "A few other people
in the bar thought that this
was some sort of strarige,
freaky show, because the
owner of the team stood
up and literally went like
this, and underneath was
Jose Reyes' jersey," Bein-
fest said, pulling apart his
jacket by the lapels. "We
then ordered some drinks
and stayed around for a
couple of hours just talk-
ing and getting to know
each other, and a few days
after that Jose came down
to Miami and saw the ball-
park. So 12:01 to us was al-
ways a big deal because we
wanted to show Jose from
the beginning that we had
an idea."
A four-time All-Star, the
28-year-old Reyes hit .337
and also topped the league


with 16 triples, while also
stealing 39 bases. But ham-
string injuries have limited
him to no more than 133
games in any of the last
three years.
He joins a team that sud-
denly aspires to be among
baseball's big spenders.
When the meetings began
Monday, the Marlins final-
ized a $27 million, three-
year contract with closer
Heath Bell. And the winter
meetings have been domi-
nated by Miami's pursuit
of three-time NL MVP Al-
bert Pujols.
"It's a perfect situation
in Miami," Reyes said. "We
have a lot of talent there
and the new stadium,
the weather, close to Do-
minican, a lot of Spanish
people there, so I think I'm
going to like it and enjoy it
as much as I can."
His arrival means All-Star


shortstop Hanley Ramirez
will have to move to third
base. Loria said he spoke
with him.
"It was an upbeat con-
versation. He's going to be
a member of our team,"
the owner said.
For months, Reyes had
been waiting for the Mets
to make an offer. Alder-
son said Friday and early
Saturday that he thought
maybe some of the pa-
rameters he suggested
could develop into an of-
fer, but by Saturday night it
was clear to him the Mets
weren't willing to pay what
was needed.
The realization of the
switch dawned on Reyes
on Sunday night, when
agent Peter Greenberg ac-
cepted the Marlins' offer.
Greenberg said Reyes' re-
action was simple: "I'm a
Fish."

Annie's Mailbox


Dear Annie: My 12-year-old son recently
informed me that his 18-year-old cousin
was molesting him. I immediately in-
formed my in-laws. They were in 'shock
and denial., Both said, "Are you sure?
Maybe they were experimenting." I was
outraged and disgusted,- and so was my
husband. I went to the police and filed
a report. Both the perpetrator and the
victim are their grandsons. My husband
no longer speaks to his. brother because
of what his son did. His brother said he
should have been informed before I filed
the police report. But the police advised
us not to, saying it would give the perpe-
trator a chance to develop a defense. The
cousin was arrested. He didn't deny what
he'd done. He was sentenced to a year in
the county jail and will have to register as
a sex offender for the rest of his life,
The problem is that my in-laws have
chosen to keep this a family secret. When-
ever relatives visit and ask where the cous-
in is, they respond that he is away at col-
lege. I find this appalling. What happens
when the cousin gets out of jail and goes
back to live with his parents? Will they tell
the relatives with little kids then?
Should I tell the family members who
have children?
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW


Bridge

In this week's deals, declarer has had to be pa-
tient, willing to sacrifice a trick to get several oth-
ers in return. Here is another example. South is in
three no-trump. West leads the diamond queen.
What should declarer do?'
After South opened one rio-trump, showing 15
to 17 points, North was right to raise immediately
to game. His hand, with two aces and a good five-
card suit, was worth nearer 11 points than nine.
Look especially fondly on aces.
Declarer starts with eight top tricks: three hearts,
two diamonds and three clubs. Everything looks so
easy. Take the first trick in hand, unblock the king
and queen of clubs, play a diamond to dummy's
ace, and run the clubs to bring home an overtrick.
That would be fine if the club jack were dropping
doubleton or tripleton, but with this layout, South
takes only his eight top tricks, ending with an un-
dertrick, not an overtrick.
Trade in the overtrick for an improved chance
of making the contract, which is laydown if clubs
are 3-3, or the jack is doubleton, or the nine is
doubleton.


Dear Daughter-in-Law. Family members
need to know the truth, but it.would help
if you could approach your in-laws with
love and understanding, instead of anger
and'recriminations. This is breaking their
hearts. Help them see how important it
is for relatives to know why they cannot
permit their young children to be alone
with the cousin. When he is released from
prison, he likely will be prohibited from
being near these children anyway, so the
L- 'aws are only postponing the inevi-
table. Please talk fo your son's therapist
about the best way to word this.

Dear Annie: We have four kids. Three
of them are 'doing well, but our young-
est, age 23, still lives with us, does drugs
and has no job. He sleeps all day and does
nothing around the house to help. What
should we do?
AT THE END OF OUR ROPE

Dear Rope: First try to get your son to a
doctor to make sure there are no medical
or psychiatric problems, hampering his
development. Then please take the nec-
essary steps to make him responsible for
his own life. Contact Because I Love You
(bily.org) and Families Anonymous (fami-
liesanonymous.org) for support.

ANNOUNCEMENTS





Florida Department ofAgrioulture and Consumer Services
ColmussommAm H. PueTn

Recall: Heath(r)/Zenith and
SWirelessCommand(r)
motion sensing wall switches
The Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services, the U.S. Consumer Prod-
uct Safety Commission, and HeathCo, LLC of
Bowling Green, Ky., have announced the re-
call of about 75,000 Heath(r)/Zenith and
WirelessCommand(r) motion sensing wall'
switches. When the'switches are in the auto
mode and the light is off, a small amount of
leakage current passes through the electric
circuit, including the socket. If consumers fail
to disconnect the power at the circuit break-
er and make contact with both terminals in-
side the socket while replacing the bulbs,
there is a risk of an electric shock..
This recall involves Heath(r)/Zenith and
WirelessCommand(r) motion sensing wall
switches with model numbers listed below.
The product replaces a standard household
wall switch and is designed to turn off the at-
tached lighting load when motion is no longer
detected in the. room. The products come in
white or ivory. The brand name and model
number can be found on a label located on
the side of the switch .
Heath(r)-Zenith I MODELS SL-6106- (IV; IV-A;
WH; and WH-A)
Wireless Command(r) I MODELS WC-6106- (IV
and WH)
Heath(r)-Zenith I MODELS SL-6108- (IV; IV-A;
WH; and WH-A)
Wireless Command(r) I WC-6108- (IV and
WH)
The recalled switches were manufactured in
China and sold at mass merchants; electrical
distributors, hardware retailers and online re-
tailers from August 2007 through August 2011
for between $20 and $25.
Consumers should immediately stop using
the recalled wall switches and contact the
company for a free wall switch replacement.
Call (toll-free) 855-704-5438 between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email h
zproductnotice@heathcollc.com or visit the
company's website at www.heath-zenith.com

The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
-Alabama's Trent Richard-
son wasn't a starter when
he arrived on the scene.
He was biding his time
behind tailback Mark In-
gram, who was on his way
to becoming Alabama's
first Heisman Trophy win-
ner. But Ingram knew long
before Richardson was se-
lected as a finalist that the
Crimson Tide might have
another candidate waiting
in the wings.
Then a freshman, Rich-
ardson broke four tack-
les en route to a 52-yard
touchdown against Arkan-
sas two years ago in a run
that has only grown in the
retelling.
"He broke like seven
tackles and then took it
up the sideline for like 40
yards," Ingram recalled. "I
was like, 'Yeah, that's not
really normal.' I figured
that we had a special guy."
A program that collected
by its own count 12
national titles before field-
ing a Heisman winner now
is hoping for its second in
three seasons. Because of
Ingram's looming pres-
ence, Richardson was a
star long before he was a
starter.
Compact, powerful and
with a sprinter's burst,
Richardson joins LSU cor-
nerback Tyrann Mathieu,
Wisconsin tailback Mon-
tee Ball and quarterbacks
Andrew Luck of Stanford
and Robert Griffin III of
Baylor as finalists for this
year's Heisman, which will
be presented Saturday in
NewYork.
"As a child you dream
of winning the Heisman
or MVP at any level, and
now that it's here and my
team has worked hard for
this, and I know I worked
hard for it," Richardson
said. "Just to represent for
Alabama is going to be an
honor for real, and to rep-
resent for (Florida home-
town) Pensacola. It's pretty
big for me. My name will be
in the books if I do win."
Alongside Ingram, his
former backfield mate
now with the New Orleans
Saints.

where his predecessor left
off, powering the Tide's of-
fense into a national title
shot Jan. 9 against LSU.
. Since Archie Griffin won
his second straight in
1975 for Ohio State, only
Southern California has
had two. Heisman' win-
ners in a three-year span:
Charles White and Marcus
Allen (1979, '81) and Car-
son Palmer ('02) and Matt
Leinart ('04).
Richardson has run for
1,583 yards and has 20
rushing touchdowns and
three as a receiver. Not bad
for a first-year starter, who
never let on.publicly if he
minded running in second
place for two seasons. His
handling of that situation
endeared Richardson to
teammates.
"The first word that
comes to my head when
I think of Trent is 'team-
mate,'" Alabama left tackle
Barrett Jones said. "He re-
ally is the ultimate team-
mate. Not many guys
would have ,had the at-
titude he had these past
two years. Probably would
have started anywhere else
in the country just with the


talent level he had.
"He never said anything
complaining. He was al-
ways worried about the
team. All of us who have
been here for a while we're
really excited for him to
step up this year and for
this to be his team. His
humility and the kind
of teammate he is really
makes you want to block
for a guy like that."
Richardson said he "just
really had to humble"
himself. He still racked up
1,451 yards and 14 touch-
downs and two Sports
Illustrated covers be-
fore becoming a starter
when Ingram left for the
NFL, another move that
Richardson soon could
duplicate.
The 5-foot-ll,' 224-
pounder has gotten plenty
of attention for his weight
room prowess Tide
coaches limit him to 475
pounds on the bench press
and 600-pound squats
and ability to steamroll
defenders or carry several
for extra yardage.
Despite Richardson's
physical style, coach Nick
Saban scoffs at labeling


him a "bruiser".
"You're talking about a
guy to me that shouldn't
be pigeonholed into a guy
that is a bruising back be-
cause to me he's so much
more," Saban said. "He's a
great leader on our team.
He's a hard worker. He sets
a great example. He cares
about the other players on
the team. He's certainly a
. very, very productive, com-
petitive guy who has been
probably as good a player
as I've.ever had the oppor-
tunity to coach in terms of
the whole package.
"Bruising back would
be an insult to what he
is, even though he does
that pretty well, too, be-
cause he's tough and he's
physical."
Richardson made a
strong final statement
with a career-best 203-
yard game in the final
romp against Auburn. It
also provided a so-called
"Heisman moment," when
he halted his momentum
and straight-armed a de-
fender on the sideline then
raced across the field for- a
57-yarder.
Against Mississippi, he


shed two tacklers, cut over
to the right sideline and
stopped short to shake
one defender around the
10 before sprinting to the
end zone to punctuate a
76-yard run.
"That was awesome,"
Jones said. "The Iron Bowl
run was awesome, too, but
the Ole Miss run where he
did the little move at the
end, that was a lot of fun to
watch."
Richardson also had a
solid overall effort against
No. 1 LSU. He ran 23 times
for 89 yards and had five.
catches for 80 yards.
'Richardson's nine 100-
yard rushing games ties
Ingram for the school re-
cord. He's only 75 yards shy
of the Alabama mark set
by Ingram two years ago
in one extra outing the
Southeastern Conference
championship game.
* Richardson is also a final-.
ist for the Maxwell Award
as player of the year and
the Doak Walker Award
given to the nation's top
running back.
The lone drawback to
all these awards: Flying.
The back that fearlessly
smashes into 230-pound


linebackers can't stand it.
"I really just start praying
before I get on and when I
get on just go from there,"
Richardson said. "I start
sweating, and it's just a
big mess, for real. I haven't
gotten over it yet, but I'm
used to flying. Just when it
takes off and when they be
about to land, it's crazy."
Richardson, Tim Tebow
and Cam .Newton are the
only SEC players to rush
for 20 touchdowns in a
season, and those two
quarterbacks are Heisman
winners.
Alabama has cited the
quality of defenses Rich-
ardson has faced in pro-
moting his candidacy. He
has faced eight defenses
ranked among the nation's
Top 51, and the school says
no other Heisman con-
tender went against more
than five.
The thickly-muscled
Richardson doesn't hesi-
tate when asked about
what drives him: Daugh-
ters Taliyah, 5, and Elevara,
3, and his mother. He says
he is "just happy to be out
.there making everybody
smile," but especially
.them.
