Wendel Gene Seaman, 36, of 4001 Highway 77, was pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol and arrested without incident Sunday around 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time,, according to a press release from the Jackson county Sheriff's Office. Jefferson County Sheriff's Office assisted FHP at the stop. ,, Seaman is charged S in the case with' at- tempted felony mur- dqr, grand theft of a I motor vehicle, and grand theft of a firIe- Seaman arm. Jackson County Sheriff Lou Roberts said it's his understanding that, at the time of the traffic stop, Seaman was driving his father's truck, a 1989 burgundy and silver Chevrolet, and that the tag it bore was the one as- signed to the vehicle. Authorities had been called to Sea- man's residence Saturday on reports of a possible stabbing at the address. When they arrived, they were told that Seaman had struck his father in the back of the neck with a machete as his elder opened the refrigera- tor door in the family residence in :Graceville, and that Seaman then bound his father's hands with duct tape. Officials say Seaman allegedly threatened to kill his dad. His father was able to get away temporarily See SUSPECT, Page 7A BRING ON THE BIRD-WATCHERS *., . , -f ** .,'-< MII L I *- I ri.il it r.~l ht This robin is one of the creatures that draw bird-watchers to Northwest Florida, and Jackson County Tourist Development Council is trying to spread the word about nature's winged beauties in this region of the state.

MHRC looks to become 'gem of the Panhandle' Special city commission meeting Wednesday BYANGIECOOK acook@jcfloridan.com ' The city of Marianna is looking to hire a health- care facility design con- sultant to help push the upcoming Marianna Health and Rehabilitation Center expanst6n proj- ect in the right direction, with an eye on indus- try innovation and cost effectiveness. That's how MHRC con-, sultant Bruce Baldwin presented the hiring pro- posal to city commission- ers during that board's regular September meet- ing. But not all members were keen on the idea. The expansion project, which Baldwin loosely estimated as costing $1.5 to million in MHRC cash reserves, will involve de- ' molishing the old Health Department building, a new 7,000- to 10,000- square-foot addition to the existing MHRC facility to house therapy and re- storative care programs,, and possibly private pa- tient rooms and office space, plus renovating: existing space .vacated: when the programs move.. .The current building Will: also have several of its ex- isting semi-private rooms See DESIGN, Page 7A Florida adds license-free fishing From staff reports Florida has added four more license-free fishing days to the calendar, two for saltwater and two for freshwater fishing holes for a total of eight com- bined for the two types of water bodies.

Zimmerman's wife won't press charges despite call The Associated PreEs LAKE MARY The sob- bing wife of George Zim- merman called 911 Mon- day to report that her estranged husband was threatening her with a gun and had punched her fa-. ther in the nose, but hours later decided not to press charges- against the man acquitted of all charges for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. Lake Mary police officers ' were still investigating the encounter as a domestic dispute, but no charges had been filed Monday af- ternoon. Shellie Zimmer- man left the house after being questioned by po- lice. George Zimmerman remained there into early evening and his attorney denied any wrongdoing by his client. He was not ar- rested' Shellie Zimmerman, who has filed for divorce, ini- tialy told a 911 dispatcher that her husband -had his hand on his gun .as he sat in his car outside the home she was at with her father. She said she was scared because she wasn't sure what Zimmerman was ca- pable of doing. Hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a fire- arm, said Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell. For the time being, "do- mestic violence can't be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn't see a' firearm," Bracknell said. On the 911 call,' Shellie Zimmerman is sobbing and repeating "Oh my God" as she talks to a po- lice dispatcher. She yells at her father to get inside the-house, saving Zimmer- man may start shooting at them. "He's threatening all of us with a firearm ... He punched my dad in the nose," Shellie Zimmerman said on the call. "I don't know what he's capable of. I'm really scared." She also said he grabbed an iPad from her hand and smashed it. Zimmerman's attorney, MNark O'MNlara, said his cli- ent never threatened his estranged wife and her father with a gun and never punched his father- in-law. Shellie Zimmer- man had collected most of her belongings Satur- day from the house, which is owned by her parents, where she and George had both been staying there until she moved out. She had returned unexpect- edly Monday to gather the remainingitems. Emotions got out of control, but nei- ther side is filing charges against the other, O'Mara said. "1 know the 911 tape sug- gests that Shellie was say- ing something but 1 think that was heightened emo- tions," O'Mara said. "There may have been some push- ing and touching. That happens a lot in divorce siruatio6ns ... Nobody was injured." Her father also declined to press charges, the police chief said. Prosecutors could still build a case based on sur- veillance video from cam- eras outside the house and also video from the squad cars of officers who responded. Florida law al- lows police officers to ar- rest someone for domestic violence without the con- sent of the victim. Police spokesman) Zach Hudson said the estranged husband and wife were blaming each other for being the aggressor and that police officers were sorting through their accounts. Shellie Zimmerman in her divorce filing last week said she and her husband had separated a month after he was acquitted of any crime for fatally shoot- ing the 7Iyear-old Martin in Sanford, not far from where Monday's investiga- tion happened. Shellie Zimmerman askedthedispatchertosend an ambulance to check her father out. A fire depart- ment ambulance arrived at the house but nobody needed to be transported, Hudson said. "The call went out as a 911 call that Mr. Zim- merman was threatening them with a firearm," Hudson said. "We're trying to see if that's true or not." In her -divorce peti- tion, Shellie Zimmerman asked that her husband pay for a permanent life insurance policy with her named as the beneficiary, according to a divorce petition made public last week. on , q' ''., 14-1 Troy Louisville FSU Oregon South Carolina Auburn LSU Notre Dame Famu Alabama West Gadsden Sneads Marianna Graceville Texas Georgia Tech '. ,0 ,' X '* -..

SFla. AG: It was wrong to ask for execution delay ~ ~ I ' '*. 'i :' : + l'* *'' .'* '! / *** ThIe A 4:Ci3iled Prfi-e TALULAHASSEE Flori- da Attorney General Pam Bondi said that it was' wrong to ask Gov. 'Rick Scott to push' back the execution date of a Convicted killer after the initial :time ,conflicted with a re-election fund&: raiser. J.arshall Lee Gore was originally scheduled to. die by lethal injection this Tuesday, but Scott last minilth pushed back the date to Oct. 1. Gore's ex- ecution had been sched- uled twice before this year but he received a stay amid ongoing questions over his sanity. -*;. When the latest date change was announced it' was not publicly known it was done to accommodate' aa Bondi campaign event scheduled for the same \ ,n ig h t. , The Republican governor said he changed the date at Bondi's request, but he acknowledged on Monday, that he did not know that the reason was because it conflicted with the fund- raiser scheduled in Tampa. Scott, who would not say if he would have delayed the execution if he knew about the event; said 'it's Routine for the governor's office to work in tandem with the statewide elected officials who make up the Florida Cabinet. "When another cabinet member asks for some- thing, we try to work with them," Scott said. Hours after Scott an- swered questions about the execution delay Bondi issued a statement that said she should have not 'have made the request. "As. a prosecutor, there was nothing more impor- tant than seeing justice done, especially when it came to the unconscio- nable act of murder," Bondi said. "I personally put two people on death :row and, as Attorney General; have already par- ,ticipated in eight execu-' tions since I took office, a role I take very seriously., "The plannedd, execu- tion of MNarshall Lee Gore had already been stayed twice by the courts, and ' we should not have'. requested that the date of the execution be moved," Sshe said., Bondi worked for the Hillsborough County state attorney before she ran for "attorney general in 2010.* This summer she opened her campaign account for a second term. So far she has no declared opposi- tion. The attorney general plays a pivotal role in ex- ecutions. It represents the state in death row apt peals' cases. UsItally the .attorney- general remains' avQailable on the date of the executions in case of any last-minute legal issues. Bondi's office said that is why she sought a delay in Gore's execution. "In light of'the serious- ness of any execution, it was very important to At- torney General Bondi that she be available personally to carry out her office's du- ties in the execution pro- cess," said Jenn Meale, a spokeswoman for Bondi.. Bondi's decision to seek a delay in the execution date because it conflicted with a ftindraiser was first reported by The News Ser- , vice of Florida. Gore was convicted of the March 11, 1988, killing of Robyn Novick, a 30-year- old exotic dancer whose naked body was found in a rural part of Miami- Dade County, partly cov- ered by a blue tarpaulin. Gore was also sentenced to die for the slaying in Janu- ary 1988 of Susan Roark, whose body was found a few months later in Co- lumbia County in northern Florida. 44' ~ " ~ '4 3 I'-".

Kelly was born without part of her left forearm and says she has never let her disability get in the way of doing what she wanted. The Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Born without her left forearm, Nicole Kelly has been overcoming dis- ability her entire life, be it playing baseball, dancing or diving. Now representing Iowa in the Miss America pag- eant, Kelly hopes to win the crown and inspire oth- ers to overcome their own difficulties. She chooses to focus on what she has. rather-than what she lacks. "The reason I'm here is not because I'm a public. interest story," she told ' The Associated'Press in an interview Monday, in between rehearsals for three nights of preliminary competition that starts Tuesday. "I'm here not because I look different but because I have the intelligence, I have the ability and all the things that MissAmerica needs to have. "I'm proud to represent those who. look differ- ently, but it's about what you can do and howyou celebrate it," she said. "I'm just like you." She said she developed an outgoing personality "that would not give in to 'no'" as away to deal with the stares she often got. The 23-year-old resident of Keokuk, Iowa, a Missis- sippi River town, Kelly said she never let her disability stop her from doing what she wanted. She played baseball, swam and dove, and danced. , "I just did it," she said. "There never was an issue. No excuses, nor should there have been.", Kelly said people she met while growing up gen- erally went through three phases: the first Was when she approached them, because they were too 'intimidated to approach her. The second was when they grew comfortable enough to ask her ques-. tions like, "How do you do your hair?" or "How do. you tie your shoes?" The third phase "was when they completely for- got about it" and just saw her as Nikki, not a person with a disability. She entered her first pageant this January, fell in love with the competi- tion and won, advancing through the ranks to win the Miss Iowa crown. She was soon inundated with media attention, not all of it welcome. , She said one TV sta- tion surreptitiously shot closeups of her partial. arm without her realizing : "it handmade that a central part of their report. "I got a-lot of unwanted attention, but there's.also the flip side of this enor- mous platform" to bring attention to people with ,disabilities. Since graduating from the University of Ne-, : braska-Lincoln, Kelly has landed internships in theaters in Santa Fe, N.M.; Chicago and NewYork. That led to a paid job as the guardian for child' .. actors intheFBroadway,- play, "The Assembled ' Parties."

Court gets sanity report in Colo BYDAN ELLIOTT Associated Press DENVER -Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the Colorado theater shootings are getting their first look at a long-awaited opinion from a-state psychiatrist on whether defendant James Holmes was legally insane 'when he killed 12 people and injured 70.. The report from the state mental .hospital is secret, and prosecutors and de- fense lawyers cannot speak outside court about it be- cause of a gag order. Its contents may be discussed in open court or written about in a motion. Filed with the court on Friday, the report won't be the final word on Holmes" mental state'- that will be up to the jury in Holmes' trial nextyear. But 'it will be a critical piece of evidence as jurors consider whether Holmes should be found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed indefinitely to the state hospital, or, con- victed of'murder and sen- tenced to life in prison or death by lethal injection. The report'will saywheth- er the psychiatrist who led the valuation believes Holmes meets Colorado's legal definition of insanity: the inability to tell the dif- ference between right and wrong because of a mental disease or defect.

PINE BLUFF, Ark. - When the time came to move 107-year-old Mon- roe Isadore to a newhome, police say he resisted and barricaded himself inside. Authorities tried using a camera to monitor him, along with negotiating tactics, and finally gas to get him to come out. None of it worked. So, a SWAT team went inside and was greeted by gunfire, authorities say. The team fired back, and Isadore died. The weekend confronta- tion raised a flurry of ques- tions Monday as residents' struggled'to make sense of how someone known as a pleasant, churchgo- ing man who was hard of hearing and sometimes carried a cane had diedin an explosive confronrita- tion. Did authorities, know how old he was? Did they follow proper procedure? Could they have done anything differently?

The Associated Press WASHINGTON In a rapid and remarkable chain of events, Syria wel- comed the idea of turn- ing over all of its chemical weapons for destruction on Monday, and President Barack Obama, though ex- pressing deep skepticism, declared it a "potentially positive development" that could head off the threats of U.S. air strikes that have set the world on edge. The administration pressed ahead in its ef- forts to persuade Congress' to authorize a military strike, and Obama said the day's developments were doubtlessly due in part to the "credible possibility" of that action. He stuck to his plan to address the na- tion Tuesday night, while the Senate Democratic leader postponed a. vote on authorization. The sudden develop- ments broke into the open when Rlussia's for- eign minister, seizing on what appeared, at the time to be an off-the-cuff remark by' Secretary 'of State John Kerry, appeared in Moscow alongside his Syrian counterpart and proposed the chemical weapons .turnover and destruction. The, Syr- ian quickly embraced the idea, and before long U.N. 'Secretary-General ,Ban Ki-moon did, too.., Obama, who appeared Monday evening in interviews on six TV net- works, said the idea actu- ally had been broached i THE ASSOCIATED PRESS' Demonstrators opposed to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad gather on the lawnof the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Sept. 9, 2013, as Congress returns'to work from August recess. The protesters are waving the flag of the Syrian opposition movement. in his 20-minute, meeting with Russian' President Vladimir. Putin last week on the sidelines of an eco- nomic summit in St. Pe- tersburg, Russia. Obama said he directed Kerry to have more conversations with the Russians and "run this to ground." The president said. he would "absolutely", halt a U.S. military strike if Syria's stockpiles were suc- cessfully 'secured, though he remained skeptical about, Assad's willing- ness to carry out the steps heeded. "My objective here has 'always been to deal with a very specific problem," Obama said in an interview with ABC News. "If we can do that without a military strike, that, is overwhelm- , mglymy preference." SHe cast Russia's pro- posal as a direct result of the 'pressure being felt by Syria because ofthe threat' of a U.S. strike and warned that he would not allow the idea to-be used as a stalling tactic. "I don't think that we would have gotten to this point unless- we had maintained a credible possibility of a military strike, 'and' I' don't think now is the time for us to let up on that," he said. Still, the White House has had scant success in persuading members of Congress including Democrats to support the idea of military action. Senators continued to an- nounce their opposition through the day. Th8 proposal from Rus- sian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov came just., hours, after Kerry.told re- porters in London that Assad could avoid a'U.S. attack and resolve the cri- sis surrounding the use of chemical weapons by sur- rendering control of "every single bit" of his arsenal to the international com- munity by the end -of the week. The State Department sought to tamp down the potential impact of Kerry's comments by calling them a "rhetorical" response to a hypothetical question and not "a proposal." But their importance became more clear as the day progressed. Kerry spoke by phone with Lavrov shortly after making his comments in London, and officials fa- miliar with the call said Lavrov had told Kerry that he had seen the remarks and would be issuing a public statement. Kerry told Lavrov that his com- ments were not a pro- posal but the U.S. would be willing to review a seri- ous plan, the officials said., They stressed that he made clear that Lavrov could not present the idea as a joint U.S.-Russian proposal. The officials commented only on condition of ano- nymity because they were not authorized to describe the information publicly. British 'Prime Minister David Camerbn said the proposal was worth ex- ploring, the French foreign ministry said it deserved close examination and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, any move by Syria to surrender its chemi- cal weapons would be an "important step." Clinton, in contrast with the White House and State Depart- ment, credited Kerry and Russia jointly for the ,proposal., SObamrna still faces a de- cidedly uphill fight to win congressional authoriza- tion for the use of force -- and serious doubts by the American public and Monday's developments, planned or not, could pro- vide him with a way out of a messy political and for- eign policy bind. The U.S. accuses Assad's government of being be- hind an attack using sarin gas in. a Damascus suburb on Aug. 21, .killing 1,429 people. Some other esti- mates of the deaths are lower, but there is wide agreement that chemi- cal weapons were used. Experts believe that the Syrian government's arse- nal of chemical weapons includes nerve agents like sarin, tabun and \9X as well as mustard gas. In an interview with Charlie Rose that was broadcast Monday on "CBS This Morning," Assad denied responsibility for the Aug. 21 attack, accused" the Obama administration of spreading lies without providing a "single shred of evidence," arid warned that air strikes against his nation could bring retalia- tion. Pressed on what that might include, Assad re- 'sponded, '!'m not fortune teller, ...... . Later, Monday, Syria's foreign minister, meeting with his Russian counter- part in Moscow, addressed the idea of getting rid of any chemical weapons. "Syria welcomes the Russian proposal out of -concern for the lives of the Syrian people, the Se- curity of our country and because it believes in 'the wisdom of the Russian leadership that: seeks to avert American aggression against our people,",said al-Moallem. fran's president urges government on Facebook The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran Iran's curious world of online politics looked a bit more crowded Monday with members of. 'President Hasan Rouhani's Cabinet encouraged to open their own Facebook pages in a country where authori- ties, at the same time, try to block the public from social media... The government-as- Facebook Friends ini- tiative, reported- by' the pro-reform Shargh daily, 'is seen as part of Rouhani's efforts to give the presidency a make- over as more account- able hnd", : accessible after his combative predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. . -But it further exposes the internal tensions atong Iran's leadership over whether the. Inter-" net is ultimately a force to be expanded or best kept tightly, controlled. Disputes even broke out - on Web-based Iranian news sites --over the au- thenticity of some of the Facebook pages linked to some ministers. Still, the overall direc- 'tion of Rouhani's'! gov- ernment is clear: push- ing for more interaction and "outreach on- 'the Web for both image- tweaking as well as in- stant diplomacy with major issues in play, such as possible U.S.-led mili- tary strikes on Tehran ally Syria and attempts to restart talks over Iran's nuclear program. ' "Rouhani has surround- ed himself with quite savvy public relations aides," said Merhzad Boroujerdi, director of the Middle East Stud- ies program at Syracuse University.- "These guys understand the 'strate- gies for Rpuhani to set himself,, apart from Ah- mradinejad. For better or worse, things like social media will play a cen- tral part in Rouhani's presidency.",' It maynhot always be an easy reach, though, with hardliners still deeplylsus- picious of social media for its central role in opposi- tion protests after Ahma-, dinejad's disputed 2009 re-election. Facebook and other main sites are blocked. But Iran's legions of young and tech-smart cyber-surfers consistently find proxy servers and. other methods to, bypass the controls. Some newspapers Mon- day speculated that Rou- hani's push for govern- ment Facebook accounts miight signal an easing of some of the Internet barriers. Not so, replied Iran's chief Internet over- seer. Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehei, head of the supervisory board on Internet content, said "it is not the time for lifting filters" on Facebook and other sites.' In another spat, some government officials also denied they had al- ready opened Facebook accounts. The Communications Ministry issued a state-' ment denying the 'Shargh report that. its head, Mahmoud Vaezi, was, on Facebook. A news website, Khabaronline. ir, reported that the oil minister, Bijan Zan- ganeh, has no link to any Facebook page claiming to be his.

Egyptian troops and tanks backed by helicopter gun- ships swept through vil- lages in the northern Sinai Peninsula 'near the bor- der with the Palestinian Gaza Strip on Monday, the third day of a major of- fensive against Islamic .extremists, a military of- ficial said.

A day earlier, an al-Qai- da-inspired militant group based in the area claimed responsibility for ,last week's failed assassination, attempt on Egypt's interior minister, describing the Cairo attack as a "suicide" car'bomb. The -Glaim could not be independently verified but it appeared on militant, websites that regularly dis- tribute statements from al-Qaida-linked groups; If true, it would mark the first time Sinai militants took their fight to the heart of the Egyptian capital with a suicide attack. Tourist resorts along the southern coast of the rocky, desert region saw a string of suicide bomb- ings in the mid-2000s that left at least 125 'people dead and, 'triggered mass atrests and detentions of thousands of Bedouin tribesman. The crackdown soured relations between locals and the central gov- ernment, intensifying the Bedouins'. feelings of mistreatment and turn- -ing the northern end of the peninsula into an incubator for Islamic extremism. Like Ansar Jerusalem, other Sinai-based al-Qaida inspired groups have been blamed for a spike of at- tacks against military and police in northern Sinai 'since the military ousted former Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on July 3. ' The increase in violence has raised suspicions of links between, Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic militant groups. Military officials have ac- cused Morsi of handling the groups too'leniently and striking a truce with them, to halt their attacks in return for suspend7 ing military operations against them dciring his year in office. This. truce, they' say, gave militants free reign to stockpile weapons, evidenced by the large caches of anti-air: craft missiles, mortars, and RPGs and other weapons seized by the army since Saturday. *I(E cnNDISCOUNT EKELSUN\ DRUGS 3008 Jefferson St. Mariabina, FL ,.3 08J -- f3i0UiiiJS.TByi SEARINGilIN YURPICSQ, 1I lUIImUJllDtnII~ll ^ How does it work!

Miami won 21-16. Back in Top 25, MIfiami wants to lookahead The Associated Press , CORAL GABLES, Fla. This was. the plan, the one that Miami coach Al Golden put together back in May and June when he actually mapped out how every day was supposed to go this season for the Hurricanes. Sept. 7i Beat Florida. -Sept. 8: Move on from beating Florida. Golden's visions became reality on both fronts this weekend, first when his team knocked off the for- merly 12th-ranked Ga- tors 21-16 on Saturday, then when the Hurricanes gathered to put that win in the rear-view mirror on Sunday. Golden tweeted South a message at 6:33 a.m. warning against the dan- gers. of complacency, and his players started filing through the training room three hours later, - "I set the schedule that we would win the game Saturday, come in Sun- day,' lift and, watch the game, just to make sure we snap 'erm back in and stay focused arid don't let this turn into Mardi Gras, Golden said. "We don't need a week's celebration here," Understandable, though there.we're things for the Hurricanes to celebrate on Sunday, such as re- turning to the AP Top 25 for the first tIime in nearly three years. Miami (2-0) checked in at No. 15 in this week's poll, -making the 'Hurricanes just the sixth. team in the last decade to go from being unranked one week to at least 15th the next. It's also the first time Golden has been the coach of a team ranked in theAPpoll., "It was a good win and everything," Golden said. "But; hey, we're already moved on." The schedule for the next Sfew'weeks looks favorable for Miami. The Hurricanes are off this week, then host Savannah State on Sept. 21 and travel across the state to Tampa for a matchup with' South Florida on the following Saturday. Coin-. bined, those clubs are 0-4 so (ar, and Savannah State has given up an almnost- unbelievable 143. points in its first two games. Of course, Golden isn't participating in. ny sort of talk about how Miami, .should be .4-0 ,entering October. There's a to'n of issues for the Hurricanes to clean up, such as one of the nation's worst third- down success rates so far,, a 5-for-25 effort that ranks Miami 118th out of 124 teams at college football's highest level to this point. "We've got a lot of things we've got to fix. ... If we can get one thing from ,every, player this week that they can get better at and get into their toolbox, that would be a successful week for us," Golden said. SFor a welcome change, the talk around Miami football is actually about Miami football. The NCAA investigation into Hurri- cane athletics is still un- resolved, and it could be literally minutes, or days, or weeks, or worse, before a --decision comes down about whether Miami will be facing more sanctions because of the scandal in- volving a former booster and the impermissible benefits that he either provided or arranged, Even Clemson coach Dabo Swinney- relishing in the fact that an Atlantic Coast Conference school beat'another Southeastern Conference foe, like his team did against Georgia in Week 1 made the"U" symbol with his hands in. recognition of the Miami victory over Florida on. Saturday. Golden was told ofthatgesturebySwinney, whose team climbed to No. 3 this week, a couple hours after the final play of Miami's win. College Football Texas, USC fall out of top 25 The Associated Press NEW YORK Breaking down The Associated Press college foot- ball poll after Week 2 of the regular season. Outta here These are troubling times for Tex- as and Southern California, Eight seasons after the Longhorns and Trojans played one of the greatest games in college football history for the national championship in the Rose Bowl, they now appear to be in crisis. After ugly losses Saturday night, both dropped out of the AP Top 25 on Sunday, yet another indignity for two proud programs searching for answers. The Longhorns (1-1) were stomped 40-21 by BYU. The Cou- gars ran for 550 yards, the most ever allowed by Texas. And this coming on the heels of last season when the Texas defense was one of the worst in school history, a mess of missed tackles arid blown assignments, The debacle at BYU led Texas- coach Mack Brown to fire defensive coordinator Manny Diaz on Sun- day and replace him with former Texas defensive coordinator Greg Robinson. : S"Our performance on defense last night was unacceptable, and we need to change that," Brown said. Everybody around the Texas pro- gram has acknowledged this' is an important season for the Longhorns and Brown, who is in his 16th season in Austin. He's won a national title and been one of the most successful coaches in the country. But the past three seasons Texas is 23-17. USGC (1-1), coming off a season in which, the Trojans went from pre- seaso.n No. 1 to unranked, looks, helpless offensively and Trojans fans are blaming fourth-year coach Lane Kiffin after a 10-7 loss at home to Washington State. As Texas was futilely trying to.stop one bunch of Cougars on Saturday night, USC was strutiggling to even get a fist down against another. Fans of each team raged on social media. There is plenty of season left for Brown and Kiffin to turn it around. The Longhorns play No. 25 Ole Miss at home on Saturday. The Trojans T H E--ASSOUUIAIAEUDPRE-SS Southern California running back Tre Madden (top) is tackled by Washington State linebacker Cyrus Coen during the second half of a game in Los Angeles, last week. face Boston College.

Moving up *The 'conventional wisdom about Michigan this season was the Wol- verines are a next-year team, talent- ed but with many underclassmen and few key seniors. Michigan's 41-30 victory, against Notre Dame not only jumped the Wolverines six spots in the rankings to No. 11, but. it also hinted the future might be now in Ann Arbor. Devini Gardner, with four touchdown passes and a TD run, fits'offensive coordinator Al Borges' system better than De- nard Robinson ever did, and those youthful Wolverines now have a few weeks of winnable games (Akron, at UConn and Minnesota) to grow up for what could be an interesting second half of the season... Moving dtiown No. 21 Notre Dame and No: 13 South Carolina both dropped seven spots after losing the weeks biggest games. The Gamecocks were beaten 41-3(,at, Georgia. The Fighting Irish and Gamecocks ranked seventh and llth in the nation, respectively, in total defense*last season and feature some of the best defensive linemen in the country, most notably South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney and Notre Dame's DerriCk Nix. Despite the big names, both units have work to do. "We're struggling on defense," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. "It's sort of sad watching." S Moving in Miami is ranked for the first time since November 2010. The' Hurri- canes jumped all theway to No. 15, after beating Florida 21-16. The '9a- tors slipped six spots to No. 18. The big win and return to the rankings . represents aturningpointfor Miami in coach Al Golden's third season.

Until that "cloud lifts, Golden's rebuilding efforts at Miami will be Stunted. ' No. 25 Mississippi also moved into the poll, the firsttime it has been ranked since the final 2009 poll. From the archives No. 5 Stanford and South Carolina both reached 50 consecutive AP poll appearances, school records for each. The Gamecocks arid Car- dinal are tied for fifth among active streaks, behind No. 1 Alabama (81), No. 8 LSU (67),.No. 2 Oregon (63) and No. 14 Oklahoma (51) .... Flor- ida, Florida State and Miami are all ranked for the first time since Oct. 3,2010. Oklahoma St. AD apologizes to Big 12 schools The Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. Oklahoma State ath- letic director Mike Holder apologized to his fellow athletic directors around ,the Big 12 Conference on Monday in advance of what's expected to be a scathing expose of the footballprogrambySports Illustrated." "I apologizeto alltheath- letic directors in the con- ference for what's about to happen, for what's about to be said about a mem- ber. institution,". Holder said qt a news conference without taking questions. "That reflects on every- one, all our brothers and peers, we're very remorse- ful about that." The school announced over the weekend that SI had notified, it of the up- coming series, which de- tails'transgressions by the football program starting in 2001. Oklahoma State said it has notified the NCAA and launched its own -investigation. Sports Illustrated, in a news release sent Monday, gave highlights of the five- part series that wiU begin Tuesday with a posting on SI.com. The magazine says it conducted inter- views 'with more than 60 former Oklahoma State players who played for the school from 2001-10. Among the_ allegations of misconduct and poten- Stial NCAA violations are: An Oklahoma State assistant coach paid cash bonuses to players of up to $500 for performance. --, Oklahoma State boosters and at least two assistant coaches fun- neled money to players and provided sham jobs for which players were paidl. Tutors and other school personnel com- pleted school work for players and professors gave passing grades for little or no work. The program's drug policy was selectively en- forced, allowing some star .players to go unpunished for repeated positive tests. Texas fires defensive coordinator after BYU rout The Associated.Press AUSTIN, Texas Texas fired defensive 'coordina-. tor Manny Diaz on Sunday, less than 24 hours after one of the worst defensive per- formances in the history of the program. Longhorns coach Mack Brown announced that for- mer Longhorns defensive coordinator and Syracuse coach iGreg Robinson will take over the job. "Our performance on defense last night was un- acceptable, and we need to change that," Brown said. BYU ran for' 550 yards, the most ever allowed by Texas, in a .40-21 victory against the Longhorns on Saturday night, putting a potential breakthrough season on the brink of an- other big disappointment if the Longhorns can't fix their defensive problems. Texas (1-1) plays No. 25 Mississippi. (2-0) at home on Saturday. Brown hired Diaz after Texas finished 5-7 in 2010 and defensive coordinator Will Muschamp left to be the head coach at Florida. The hire was a surprise considering Diaz had been defensive coordinator just one season at Mississippi State, but Brown called him a rising star in coach- ing who br6utight energy and new ideas to his strug- gling program. Aside from a blowout loss to Oklahoma, Diaz's first season was a success as Texas matured into the best defense in the Big 12. But the unit regressed into the one of the worst in pro- gram history in 2012. As the season wore on, play- ers complained that team- mates weren't lining up correctly or playing hard every game. , Texas hid some of those problems with a- 9-4 fin- ish and.a bowl victory and Brown shrugged off ques- tions if,Diaz would be re- placed. But after the loss to BYU, Diaz's tenure was be- ing measured in minutes. Television cameras dur- ing the game showed Brown huddled with Diaz and defensive backs coach 'Duane Akina seemingly pleading with them to find a way to stop BYU's ma- rauding rushing attack. , Brown refused to say in his postgame news confer- ence if he planned to keep Diaz on the job, andby Sun- day afternoon announced that he will be reassigned within the athletic depart- ment'. Diaz makes more than $600,000 a year. Brown knew he was tak- ing a chance on Diaz when he hired him. Diaz, who once worked at ESPN and thought he wanted a career in sports" journalism, was inspired to pursue coach- ing after helping cover a Bill Parcells news conference,. Diaz's career took him from graduate assistant role at Florida State to North Carolina State and Middle Tennessee. He was defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee for four seasons before taking the same job at Mississippi State. Diaz hadn't applied' for the Texas job until Brown called him., In Robinson, Brown gets a coordinator with NFL ex-' perience who has rescued the Texas defense before. Robinson spent one sea- son with Texas in 2004, helping guide the Long- horns to an 11-1 finish and a Rose Bowl victory' over Michigan and was notable for his fiery personality on the sideline. Robinson left Texas to be the head coach at Syracuse, where he spent four dreadful seasons, go- ing 10-37. He served as Michigan's defensive coor- dinator under Rich Rodri- guez in 2009 and '10, and then returned to Texas in July as a football analyst. "He knows this place, did a terrific job in leading our defense before, and I'm ex- cited to have him back on the field," BroWn said. Robinson also spent 14 years in the :NFL, most notably as defensive coor- dinator when the Denver Broncos won consecutive Super Bowls in 1997-1998. "This is a tough deal for everyone involved, but I love the University of Texas and coach Brown has been wonderful to me," Rob- inson said in a statement released by the team. "I'll do anything I can to help him.")

That is fine as long as Genius isn't missing the mark, which can happen. Slowly reaching the right answer is much better than jumping to the wrong conclusion. In today's deal,; South is in three no-trump. West . Leads his foutth-highest spade. East wins with his ace and returns the two (lowest of three remaining cards). South wins with his king and cashes the club ace, but East discards a spade. How should declarer proceed from there? Also, what do you think of the bidding? Taking those questions in reverse order, South should open two no-trump. He has 21 prime points with so many aces and kings. To open one diamond and rebid three clubs would probably work fine here; but it would risk missing a slam because partner Should not expect such a powerful hand. The bad club break is bothersome, but might South still take nine tricks? Yes, if he can collect one spade, three hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. This seems to require the diamond finesse. And that is a favorite, given that West started with five spades and four clubs. (The odds have gone up from 50 to 69 percent.), SHowever, here, if Genius immediately takes his three hearts tricks ending on the board and plays a diamond to his jack, he goes down.

Georgia likes this view a whole lot better. The Bulldogs were forced to rally the last two seasons, man- aging to win a pair of South- eastern Conference East titles despite losses to South Carolina. Now, it's Georgia seizing the ear- ly lead, knocking off the Game- cocks 41-30 in the league opener and moving up two spots to No. 9 in the Associated" Press. rank- ings Sunday. South Carolina slipped seven places to No.. 13 and will have to do what the Bulldogs did two years in a row-- come from be- hind to reach the SEC title game in Atlanta. . "It feels great to be ahead in the SEC East," Georgia quarter- back Aaron Murray said after Saturday's game. "That's ,a huge thing." The .Bulldogs (1-1, 1-0 SE) snapped a. three-year. losing streak to the Gamecocks (1-1, 0- 1), thanks to a dynamic offensive performance and one key defen- sive play a goal-line stop 'in., the fourth quarter. This-was es- sentially a must-win for Georgia,. given it has a more difficult con- ference schedule the rest of the way, including a game in three weeks against No. 8 LSU. Georgia is off this week. It will be an enjoyable break. "It's been tough. for three years hoping.that (South Carolina) los- es so that we can get to Atlanta," Murray ,said. "We know it's a long season, though, and we just have to keep working." There's not a whole lot of work needed on the offensive side, not after the Bulldogs ripped off 536 yards and controlled the ball for more than 35 minutes against Jadeveon Clowney and the South S' :.

Carolina defense. Murray, a fifth-year senior, had one of the best games of -his ,career, completing 17 of '23 passes even with several drops for 309 yards and four touchdowns. More impressively,. he showed some mobility on two of his scoring throws, a.point of emphasis during his preseason work with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo. An 8-yard TD to T6dd Gurley late in the third quarter came after the running hack ran the wrong route. Murray rolled out of the pocket, motioned Gurley to an open spot in the end zone and zipped him the scoring pass. But the biggest play came with hauled in the throw and was gone:on an 85-yard touchdown that 'provided some breathing room in the wild, back-and-forth, 13 minutes remaining, after the game.

Murray slipped 'take a sack, be able to get out of away from Clowney barreling the pocket, let my receivers work, into the backfield, rolled to the and get open," Murray said. "We' left, and lofted a pass to Justin were able to have two huge plays Scott-Wesley, standing all along there." ' down the sideline, not a defend- Defensively, the Bulldogs gave er in sight. The speedy receiver', up plenty of huge plays for the; second week in a row. They cer- tainly knew there would be some growing pains after losing seven players in the NFL draft, but Georgia has surrendered more points (68) and yards (921) than anyone would've expected at this early point. SThat said, the situation sounds even more dire at South Caro- lina, where coach Steve Spurrier second-guessed the schemes of defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward and vowed some changes before the Gamecocks' game next weekend against Vander- bilt. Things got so bad a couple of defensive "assistants nearly came to blows on the. sideline early in the.secood half before being separated. "We're struggling on defense," said 'Spurnrier, .never one.- to mince words. "It's sort of sad *watching." ''The biggest priority for South Carolina is finding a way to get Clowney more involved. -The Gamecocks, surely knew oppo- nents would come up with ways to stay away rom such.a domi- nating player, but they seem at a loss to figure out some counter" moves. Georgia- assigned extra blockers to Clowney when need- ed, but mostly just saw where he was' lining up and ran the other way. , Clowney was clearly frustrated after beingheld to three tackles, including -his first sack of the season. - "I told the coaches, man, you've to put me somewhere else," the defensive end said. "In the middle if you want. Idon't know. Somewhere so I can make some plays and help the team and put us in position to win the game.

OSU BatonMiers day-todayfor Cal game ThpAssociatedPress COLUMBUS;- Ohio - Braxton Miller's status as No. 4 Ohio State's starting quarterback for Saturday's game at California is still up- in the air. Millersustainedasprained ligament in his left knee in last weekend's 42-7 victory over San Diego State.- "Braxton Miller will be a day-to-day decision," coach Urban Meyer said on Mon- day. "I just metwith him to- day. He'sfeelingmuchbetter. He wag a little stiff, which, the first 48 hours after that, injury is very tough." Miller was hurt on Ohio State's first offensive pos- session when he kept the ball on a passing play and was pinned between two defenders, twisted and fell backward to the turf. He did not return to the game. Kenny Guiton came in to pass for two touch- downs and run for another score in his place. Meyer, who confirmed that the junior's injury was a sprained medial-collateral ligament, said he would not Serr on the side of caution and stick with Guiton to al- low Miller extra time to be completely healthy. . "I don't think so, no," he said. "If he's healthy to play and play like Braxton plays, Which, you know, he's not 4 your pocket quarterback and he does a lot of things for us. But if he's'healthy to go, he'll certainly go. We are not saving him or holding him back. "This will (take) every-' thing we've. got to .win this, game." Ohio State is a prohibi- tive favorite against-Cal (1- 1), which lost its opener at home to Northwestern and then barely beat Football Championship Subdivision member Portland State last week. :. Miller, who wais'not made: available for interviews after the game or on Monday, is a three-year starter -who has. beenconsidered among the top" few Heisman Trophy favorites'.. Wide receiver. Corey Brown said he would be shocked if Miller doesn't play on Saturday. "I'd.be very surprised," he said. "Braxton is a real hard worker. I saw him earlier. He was in the training room re- habbing. I expect him to do What a leader does and he'll be in the training roomev- ery day and I think he'll be fine." Tight end Jeff Heuerman felt the same way. "Braxton'rs a tough kid," he said. "If, he can play he'll definitely be out there play- ing for the team. He's kind of taking it day to day but our trainers and coaching staff will do everything they can to have'him ready. I know how bad he wants to be out there." SCo-offensive coordinator and line coach Ed Warin- ner said there's not much of .a falloff from. Miller to Gtuiton. .:" ."You don't feel like all of a- sudden half of the game plan is eliminated because 'your second-team quar- terback goes in," Warinner said. "We feel that (Guiton) is still very capable of exe- cuting just about everything Out there." Meyer said Cardale Jones and freshman Ji.T., Barrett are the Buckeyes' other scholar- ship.quarterbacks. Both will make the trip, put West just in case. ' "Plan G and Plan D are, real close to each other right now," Meyer said of Jones and Barrett.

After suffering the injury, Knight continued to play, in the third quarter before Bell finished the game for the Sooners .

Knight has completed just 43.8 per- cent of his passes for 205 'yards;-with four touch- downs and three inter- ceptions, although he has rushed for 145 yards. He threw two intercep- tions, and lost- a fumble against.West Virginia, al- though Stoops conceded ':that' "the injury probably bothered Knight. .; Bell,' used mostly as a, short-yardage rushing -specialist the past two seasons, is 3-for-6 passing: this season for 38 yards.

"When we made the switch, regardless of what reasoning, things just weren't going as well as we felt they should have," Stoops said. "So we want- ed to give Blake an oppor- tunity.
