See Page 81 Rizer jury selection begins today Bedford BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - Jury selection is scheduled to begin Thursday morning in the second murder trial of Paula Rizer, Portland. Rizer is charged with the April 3, 2009 murder of her husband, Kenneth Rizer, Sr. A jury seated in Rizer's first trial in November acquitted her of aggravated murder but failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the lesser charge of murder. Rizer's body was first discovered by his son, after the defendant called him to say she had shot her husband. He was found in his reclining chair. and had been shot five times. In the first trial. jurors heard four days of testimony from local law enforcement, agents and investigators with the Ohio Bureau of Crimina] Identification and Investigation, and for the defense. an Alaska-based forensics expert who speciali:te!) in crime scene reconstruction, and others. Rizer herself testified in her own defense in her first trial, telling of being sexually abused as a child and of sexual issues between herself and her husband. Rizer said the five shots were fired at her husband in a struggle. She said her husband insisted on teaching her to use the semi-automatic handgun - against her wishes - and said the gun would not stop firing once the first shot fired. Rizer received medical treatment after her first day of testimony, which was often emotional. Potential new witnesses in the second trial might include Rizer's granddaughter, who Jived with the couple at the time of the shooting, and officials at the Washington County Jail, where Ri.ler has been jailed since her an-est in April. The defense has subpoenaed a wooden paddle that hung in the Rizer family living room, and is seen in crime scene photos. A chair matching the recliner where Rizer's body was found was introduced into evidence during the first trial, along with the semi-automatic handgun. Frequent fliers ()BITUARIES They're back. The ring-billed gulls have once again returned to the Pomeroy levee where they seem to vacation during the winter months. The gulls, which frequent inland waterways, are known to hang out in parking lots looking for food. Some people might say they're a nuisance but others might say they're picking up garbage from the parking lot for free, making them cheap labor in a bad economy. The gulls are known to winter from Southwestern British Columbia and Washington state to the Great Lakes region to Nova Scotia then southward, to places like Meigs County.

At this week's meeting of Bedford Township Trustees, the trustees unanimously voted to place a three mil continuous fire protection levy on the May 4 ballot. If passed, the levy will generate approximately $45,963.36, according to Fiscal Officer Barbara Grueser. The first of several upcoming informational meetings about the levy is scheduled for 7 p.m., Jan. 19 at the Hemlock Grange Hall. These meetings will allow residents to review the levy, ask questions of local officials, members of the Pomeroy Fire Department and possibly insurance representatives to discuss how a fire station within the township would affect their insurance premiums. The Pomeroy Fire Department was one of only 200 entities in the country which received a highly competitive federal grant to build a new fire Bedford station in Township. The station will be approximately 7,500 square feet and house one fire truck. The grant is for $811,750 and will pay for 100 percent of the construction costs.

However, the MCHD does have approximately 1,600 doses of H l N 1 vaccine on hand, according to Kristina Fin law, HI N I clinic nurse. Finlaw said the health department has . received a total of 5,420 H lNl vaccines since they become available last fall. Late last month, the health department reported just under 4,000 HlNl vaccines had been administered. Recently, staff from the MCHD ventured into all three school districts to vaccinate students during a voluntary vaccination clinic. Finlaw said 980 students in area elementary, middle and high schools were vaccinated at these clinics. Clinics at Carleton School and Heart of the Valley Head Start in Bradbury and Tuppers Plains were to begin this week but had to be rescheduled until next week due to inclement weather. Fin law said it is important to remind parents if their child is under 10 years old. a second dose of the HINl vaccine is recommended for that child for maximum protection against the virus. These doses should be given 28 days apart. Though staff are not scheduled to return to the schools to vaccinate children that are recommended for a second dose. the vaccine is available, for free, to those children on a walk-in basis at the health department. However, it'::. recommended parents call • the health dep.mt~~nt first to ensure avadabllJty and available staff to administer the vaccine. Before the latest order of H 1N I vnccines, ODH said immunization providers in Ohio had received 3,756,400 doses. bringing Ohio's total to 4,044,400 doses thus far. More vaccine is expected to be a•ailable in the coming weeks. HJNI vaccines are also available on a walk-in basis for the general public in Meigs County though calling first is also recommended. The vaccines are free but a donation for administration of the do!)es is appreciated. INDIANAPOLIS - The American military is expanding its efforts to rebuild Afghanistan's agriculture after decades of war left the natton 's farm-based economy in ruins. Once a major exporter of dried fruits. nuts and exotic crops such as pomegranates, Afghanistan is now known mainly for growing poppies for the opium trade. Many frumers who knew how to successfully raise food crops were killed or fled the country during the past three decades, said Col. Martin Leppert. who oversees the Army National Guard's Afghan agribusiness effort from offices in Arlington. Va. ''Imagine if everyone who was a farmer got up and left Kansas - we'd have to reteach those people who are still there. That's what we're trying to do in Afghanistan." Leppert said. The military began sending agribusiness units to Afghanistan in early 2008. They now work in 14 of the nation ·s 34 provinces, where they are trying to improve irrigation and water management practices and bring new ideas to Ple~se see Fanners, AS �- -- -·- - ~- -~---- ------~--...--.

State Teachers The Retirement System and the Oh10 Poltce & Fire Pension Fund are currently unable to meet a requirement that they have enough funds to cover pension obligations for 30 years. They are asking every type of local government to contribute more to the funds, v.hich would mean more taxes or reduced sel\< ices in other areas The additional money would add $400 million to the size of the state's pensiou funds, which now stands at $4.1 billion. An analysis by The Columbus Dispatch published Sunday found the bill for taxpayers could top $5 billion a year roughly five years from now. While most private workers' retirement prospects depend on the success of the stock market. government employee pensions are guaranteed.

Even though 1t _took a wh?l.e lot. of luck. t<? get the little. guy into th1s schoo1 (lt s qutte prestigiOus), I am thmking of withdrawing him altogether before he even starts.

Do other mothers feel this way. or is 1t JUSt me. - B.D. Dear B.D.: It would be great for you to jom a group of other moms with kids your son's age. Sometimes there are playgroups in which the members meet at one another's home or in a central location. They spend time with their kids, and sometimes separate and spend time in another room nearby while the children interact with each other and a teacher or two. This way, you can see what the other kids are doing, and while jt is not a good idea to be competitive about children, you might satisfy yourself that there is no harm in his mingling with lots of different kids who have different learning styles and personalities. · The preschool years are ones of learning to master certain basic life skills and interactions. The less overprotective you ftre. the more your son will be able to absorb and satisfy the great sense of curiosity that children his age are famous for. If the school you are sending him to is prestigious for its great staff and child-centered programs, that's one thing, but if you are talking about the prestige of a name based on exclusjvity and high tuition. I think you and your son will be happier if you change your focus to a school based on his actual needs. He will be fine there as long as you decide that the "strangers" have the background and style to make him feel secure and comfortable while he explores his expanding world.

She has invited me to come staY. for a while and help her with the child, and I am thnlled to do so. I've ra1sed three kids of my own, so I think I knO\v how to do things. The trouble is, every , time I suggest something, she counters with, "Dr. Simmons says this, Dr. Simmons says that.'' 1 think Dr. Simmons sounds very rigid and old-fashioned. Has he ever raised a child? Who knows? How do I proceed? - A.N. Dear A.N.: I think in this situation, you need to walk a rather careful line betweep what you know from experience to be true, and the reliance your daughter has come to feel on the expertise of her doctor. Remember. she has just been through nine months of pregnancy, during which her doctor has served as an important touchstone on her journe} to motherhood. Pregnant women and new mothers , often develop strong attachments to their doctors, for they represent everything that is positive about their experience: the promise of a happy. healthy baby an<J a life worth living. That's pretty strong stuff to come up against with your common-sense grandmotherly advice! But you have a place in the household. too ... your daughter wouldn't have invited you there if she didn't need your help and respect your advice and opinions. This is a time when your daughter's honnones are surging and fluctuating. and it's likely she will be a little more emotional than usual.

Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 7, 1610, astronomer S3alileo Galilei began observ1ng three of Jupiter's moons, which he initially took to be stars; he spotted a fourth moon almost a week later. (Another astronomer, Simon Marius, who claimed to have spotted the moons before Galileo did, later named the Jovian satellites lo, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.) On this date: In 1608, an acctdental fire devastated the Jamestown settlement in the Virginia Colony. In 1789, the ftrst U.S. presidential election was held. Americans voted for electors who, a month later, chose George Washmgton to be the nation's first president. In 1800, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, was born in Summerhill, N.Y. In 1927, commercial trans-Atlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York and London.

In 1979, Vietnamese forces captured the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pfinh, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge government. In 1989, Emperor Hirohito of Japan died in Tokyo at age 87; he was succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Akihito. In 1999, for the second t1me in history, an impeached American president went on trial before the Senate President Bill Clinton faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; he wa,s acquttted. Ten years ago: U.S. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., subpoenaed Elian Gonzalez to testify before Congress 1n a bid to keep Elian in the United States for at least another month while courts decided whether the 6-year-old should be returned to Cuba. (Eiian never testified.) Five years ago: A military jury at Fort Hood, Texas, acquitted Army Sgt. 1st Class Tracy Perkins of involuntary manslaughter in the alleged drowning of an Iraqi civilian, but convicted him of assault in the January 2004 incident. (Perkins was sentenced to six months in prison.) Rosemary Kennedy, the oldest sister of President John F.

EQUIVOCATION Dithering on drinking puts youth at risk BY STEPHEN WALLACE STl.<:lE'fTS AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE DECISIONS The start of a new year often brings with it a resolve to try something new. fix something old. or tackle a problem too long left unsolved. I Ima!!ine what the start of a new decade could offer. A !)pcdlic problem that has long suffered from vast national equivocation has been one that involves the health and safety of young people: underage drinking. Curious given a concerted federal effort to curb underage drinking. The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD), which is chaired by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. supports a range of programs. That effort, among others. seems to have made some progress. But progress may be slowing - meaning it's .time to. revisit the issue and the role all adults play (or don't play) in realizing the goals set out in a report from the .i\ational Research Council and Institute of :\ledicine of the National Academies (Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility) - a critical researchbased hook and call to act ion that got the ball rolling. According to new Monitoring the Future data from the Uni' ersity of Michigan, a long-term gradual decline in alcohol usc among 8th. 1Oth. and 12th graders has leveled off, with the trend continuing for only the 8th graders. Similar results were found for binge drinking. defined as the consumption of five (for men. four for women) or more drinks in a row at , least once in the previous two weeks. Not encouragmg news given what we know about youth and alcohol. For example, the Academies estimate the annual cost of underage drinking at S53 billion in losses from traftic deaths. violent crime and other destructive behavior.

Christopher Dodd's decision to retire at the end of the year increases the chances of a Senate overhaul of Wall Street regula tions that is bipartisan and friendlier to the financial sector than what President Barack Obama may want. Political strategists from both parties and financ ial sector lobbyists say Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Banking Commhtee, is now free from re-election considerations and fundraising demands to cut a deal with Republicans without fear of alienating liberal voters. ·The political motivations associated with Chairman Dodd's re-election are now gone from the regulatory process," said Scott Talbott, senior lobbyist for the Financial Services Roundtable, which represents some of the nation's largest financial institutions. The decision also dilutes the innuence of financial sector executives and hedge fund managers who have regularly filled Dodd's campaign treasury with donations. That could make it easier for Dodd to insist on requirements that banks put more of their money at risk when they make loans and that regulators have more control over previously hidden financial transactions. That prompted consumer activists on Wednesday to express hope that Dodd would continue to push for the creation of an independent consumer finance protection agency. While the agency is a central element of Obama 's regulatory scheme, it is strongly opposed by banks and congressional Republicans. "We· re hopeful it clears his decks to focus like a laser beam on the real problem of helping Main Street get out from under the mess Wall Street left us in," said Ed Mierzwinski, program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.

They had the 6-year-old Limousin steer named Walter out of the backyard pool in about 15 minutes Tuesday afternoon in rural Ross Township, north of Cincinnati. They put pe around the animal's neck to keep its head above r and lured it from the nine-foot deep end of the pool • o the shallow part and then up the pool's steps. Becky Freson, whose family owns Walter, says the steer is something of an "escape artist." The animal pre' iously wandered across the street to the grounds of a high school. The Fresons say the steer did not appear injured after emerging from the family's pool.

A 63-member Indiana Guard unit retumed last week from an 11-month mission to Khowst province, which borders Pakistan. A second Indiana unit is already in place in that province to carry on the farmer education work. Col. Brian Copes, the commander of the l-19th Agribusiness Development Team. said a big part of the unit's 11-month mission was training agncultural extension agents in each of the province's 13 districts to better perform their jobs. Each agent learned to use a $2,500 soil-testing kH left in his care to enable him to test local farmers' soils to determine how much fertilizer or other treatments their land needs. Sgt. Maj. Scott Bassett, one of the unit's 15 agriculture specialists, said soil tests in the province revealed many farmers are using more than twice the amount of fertilizer needed on their fields - and over-application is reducing yields. The unit trained 50 farmers in each of the 13 districts in new approaches, such as how to irrigate fields using drip hoses that deliver water to crops while conserving the precious resource during the region's long dry season. show the benefits of using less fertilizer and other new • ods, the unit is paying one farmer to grow half of his crops Afghan-style and the other half the American way. When that farmer's fields are harvested this year, the hope is the advantages of the new methods will be readily apparent to him and his neighbors. "They're all subsistence farmers, so anything they grow is what's going to feed their family for the year," said Bassett, 46, who grew up on a ranch in Nebraska and now Jives near Waldron, Ind. "Having that much at stake, you wouldn't expect them to try something new unless it's proven." Copes said he expects the most immediate impact of his unit's work to come from tools they gave fru·mers to boost production from the peach, apricot, apple and other fruit trees planted on their small farms - which are often only 1 to 1 1/2 acres. Farmers were shown how to properly prune their trees to maximize production. Each farmer got a tree saw, grafting knife, a metal bucket and 2 pounds of lime to mix with water and paint onto the trees' trunks to ward off pests. "They' II get a greater quantity of fruit and a better quality of fruit, and ideally they'll produce enough so they can sell a bit and see a modest increase in income," Copes said. The unit also trained wheat farmers to use handcranked spreaders to more evenly distribute seeds and boost their production. The farmers have been spreading seeds by hand. pes, a fourth-generation farmer who· lives in byville, Ind., said about half of his unit's members • e there to make sure the unit was safe from insurgents. Even so, the unit's vehicles struck a half-dozen makeshift bombs. Luckily. no unit members were injured. Leppert said eight agribusiness units from Califomia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky. Missouri, Oklahoma. South Carolina and Texas are in Afghanistan, while units from Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Tennessee are readying for future missions. The units are not working in Afghanistan's prime poppy areas, but he ~aid they can help fight the opium trade by showing farmers considering it the potential of other crops. ''They'll figure it out themselves once there's enough Afghans making money growing apples and wheat." Leppert said. ------"!"""'!'"'""-'!-----~ The Daily Sentinel • P age As Analysis: Dodd retirement may help banking bill Joseph ,Joe' Lee Shepard Local Briefs ... ....,.......,_... ~---..._,.- --;......,------ ASSOCIATED PRESS AP photo U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., is embraced by his daughter Christina as he looks over toward his wife Jackie after announcing that he will retire after his current term outside his home in East Haddam, Conn., Wednesday. Dodd, who served five terms, is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and made an unsuccessful bid for the pres1dency in 2008. tations illustrate how Dodd has come to be viewed in Washington, much to the consternation of his aides. Over the past year, as he tackled financial services regulations, he couldn't seem to win for losing. If he pressed for stronger consumer protections, critics said he was playing the populist paqderer poking a finger in the eye of banks. If he offered any accommodation to banks, critics accused him of helping out his Wall Street political benefactors. Now, he can play the honest broker without worry. said former Democratic Sen. John Breaux of Louisiru1a. a deal maker during his Senate days and now a lobbyist with financial services clients. "He can say. 'This is a good idea, I don't have to worTy whether this is coming from the left or the right, and don't worry whether it's going to gain me I 0 more votes or lose me 25 more votes,"' Breaux said. Dodd did not specifically address the task ahead dur- ing his announcement Wednesday, except to say ..we have important work to do." H is spokeswoman. Kirstin Brost, elaborated: "Dodd is committed to contmue working in a bipartisan fashion to pass strong financial reform thb year." Democrats in Congress and in the lobbying sector also pointed out that Dodd's retirement gives Republicans less of a reason to deny him a legislative accomplishment. "Now it doesn ·t matter because he's not the candidate," Breaux said. Among the issues in play as the bill gets assembled are consumer protections. plus who should fall under new regulations on the trading of exotic financial instruments such as derivatives and how to dismantle large. failing finns without taxpayer bailouts. Dodd already has strayed from Obama·s plan by calling for a weaker Federal Reserve. Compromises on consumer protections and derivatives also would fall ~hort of Obama ·s plans. Last month. Dodd and Sen. Richard Shelby. the top Republican on the Banking Committee, issued a joint statement saying bipartisan negotiations have resulted in "meaningful progress:· It was a big step from November when Shelby and other Republicans on the committee reacted dismissively to a draft of Dodd's bill. With even Democrats expressing misgivings. Dodd started ane\\. assigning bipartisan teams to address various component~ of the complex legislation. Still, an independent consumer finance protection agency is Shelby's mam sticking point and could end up a casualty in any compromise. Under the House bill and in Dodd's original proposal, bank.ing regulators would lose their consumer protection power~ and they would be consolidated in one single entity that would write and enforce rules goveming lending and credit cards. Accused Holocaust museum gunman dies in hospital BY DEVLIN BARRETT ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - The 89-year-old white supremacist charged in a deadly shooting at Washington's Holocaust museum died Wednesday in North Carolina, where he'd been held while awaiting trial, authorities said. James von Brunn died shortly before 1 p.m. at a local hospital in Butner, N.C., said Denise Simmons, the spokeswoman for the federal prison where von Brunn had been held. He had been suffering from chronic congestive heart failure, sepsis and other health problems, she said. Yon Brunn, who faced charges that carried the death penalty, had been receiving medical care for months at the prison complex in Butner, which is known for its medical facilities for aging and sick federal inmates. His lawyer, A.J. Kramer, called the death "a sad end to a tragic situation" and declined to make fwther comment. Authorities say von Brunn carried a rifle as he walked up to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on June 10 and then shot security guard Stephen T. Johns, who was black, as he opened the door for von Brunn. He was wounded by gunfire from two other guards. Officials at the prison hospital had previously said chronic medical problems had complicated a psychiatric evaluation for the sus pect, who prior to the shooting had written racist and anti-Semitic screeds on the Internet. Officials at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum issued a statement saying their thoughts and prayers remained with Johns' family. "Officer Johns died heroically defending the museum, visitors and staff. This tragedy is a powerful reminder that our cause of fighting hatred remains more urgent than ever," the statement said. One of the two guards who fired back at von Brunn said he had mixed feelings about his death. "I'm shocked. I'm glad he's gone. I wish he had his day rn court. but it 'II never come." said Harry Weeks of White Plains, Md. Week.s rewrned to work in August and said he thinks often about his ~lain col league. "There's not a day that goes by that I don ·t miss him." Weeks said. A seven-count indictment against von Brunn charged him with fir~t-degree murder. killing in a federal building and bias motivated crime. The indictment also accused him of seeking to intimidate Jewish people at the museum. Von Brunn had a racist Web site and wrote a book titled "Kill the Best Gentiles,· alleging a Jewish conspiracy ..to destroy the white gene pool." He also claimed the Holocaust was a hoax. Kentucky couple win $128M Powerball prize LOUISVILLE. Ky. (AP) A central Kentucky autoworker is lucky he held on to the $128 million Powerball ticket he bought on Christmas Eve during some last-minute shopping - after all, it was printed by mistake. Lottery officials said Rob Anderson and his wife, Tuesday, were winners of the largest jackpot in the state's history. On Wednesday the couple was introduced at the state lottery headquarters in Louisville. The Andersons said they didn't initially believe they had won the $128.6 million jackpot after buying lottery tickets together for 12 years. "We didn't hit it. that's not us," Rob Anderson said he told his wife after showing her the winning ticket the moming after the Dec. 26 drawing. "Something's not right!" Rob Anderson, 39, said the winning ticket was a misprint that he decided to keep while buying stocking stuffers at a Georgetown, Ky., gas station. He wanted to buy $1 lottery tickets for three people, but the clerk goofed. "The clerk ran the $3 Quick Pick but he put it all on one ticket, and I was like, doggone it, [ needed three separate tickets," Anderson said. The clerk asked him if he wanted to keep the ticket. which had three sets of random numbers. "Yeah, I got a couple extra dollars," Anderson said, and he bought three more tickets to give as gifts. When he arrived at home, he tossed the ticket on his dresser and didn't think about it until the Sunday morning after the drawing. When he remembered it, he checked the Powerball numbers and they matched one of the sets of numbers on the botched ticket: 32-36-3741-53 and Powerball 30. T he couple, who work at a plant building seats for Toyotas. said they were hesitant to go public about the winnings. They declined to say if they had children. "We're really grounded people:' Rob Anderson said. "My wife taught me well. so to speak, to hang on to that dollar and see how far it gets you. We 'II still clip coupons and still look for the clearance rack." He said they would like to go back to school. llis proposed major? Finance. Tuesday Anderson said they have a dream of visiting Hawaii and she wants a new car. The couple said they haven't decided if they'll return to work and whether they'll take a lump sum payment, which would be worth about $63 million. Prior to this jackpot, the largest ever won in Kentucky was $89 J million in 1996.

Palmer connected with Chris Henry on his only pass during the Cinc1nnati Bengals' playoff loss to Pittsburgh during the 2005 season. Kimo von Oelhoffen smashed into the quarterback's left knee as he threw the ball, causing massive damage. Palmer left the game on a cart, had reconstructive surgery and expected to be back in the playoffs soon. It has taken four years • The Bengals ( 10-6) will play the New York Jets (97) on Saturday at Paul Brown Stadium. giving Palmer his long-awaited chance. "That has driven me." Palmer said. "But really what drives you 1s watching the wild-card round at home. Flying back to your hometown and watching it with your family or friends, that drives you. "Any NFL player sitting at home watching games is putting on a show. Nobody enjoys watching the first round, second round, third round, the Super Bowl. It's tough to do. I think that is something that has really driven our team. and definitely me.'' The 30-year-old quarterback knows it's an important moment for h1s legacy as well as Bengals history. Cincinnati is making only its second playoff appearance in the last 19 years. Palmer knows that even though he's been a Pro Bowl MVP and one of the league's top passers over several seasons, he' II be judged on his playoff results. "Absolutely," he said. "It is how quarterbacks are remembered, created, judged." His latest season hasn't helped him much that way. Palmer's role was deemphasized in Cincinnati's revamped run-first offense. He has thrown only 466 passes - the fewest for a full season since his first year as a starter. His statistics are average and his 83.6 passer rating ranks 16th out of the 32 NFL starting quarterbacks. Of the 12 quarterbacks in the playoffs, only Jets rookie Mark Sanchez has worse numbers. At least he's coming off a win; Palmer is coming off the worst passing performance of his career. - Playing in cold, windy conditions that bothered his receivers, Palmer went 1 for 11 for no )' ards and one interception last Sunday while playing mto the third quarter of a 37-0 loss at the Jets. Three of his passes went through his receivers' hands. The Bengals had little at stake, and acted like it. BCS from PageBl have the stingiest run defense in the country, allow the third fewest yards and the eighthfewest points. The No. I Crimson Tide are top ))even in every major defensive category. "I think philosophically and schematically we believe a lot of the same things," Muschamp said. "We believe the same way to coach and motivate, so I think that's probabl)' why we got along." Saban's influence on Muschamp was evident the second he began talking about this game. Before the first question was even . asked,. Muschamp muttered, " I 'm afraid there's going to be a lot of wasted ink over this situation." Then he launched into the story behind their teacher-student relationship. In late December 2000. LSU was in Atlanta get- Ohio hits 3-pointer at buzzer to edge IUPUI63·62 lNDIANAPOI .IS (AP) - Armon Bassett scored 14 points and hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to help Ohio nip IUPUI 63-62 Wednesday night. The Bobcats (9-5) rallied after trailing 61-56 with 56 seconds to play. A dunk by Ivo Baltic and two free throws Jay Kinney pulled Ohio to within one with 32 remaining. Billy Pettiford then hit the second of two free throws with 4 seconds left to give the Jaguars (10-7) a 62-60 advantage, hut it wasn't enough. D.J. Cooper took the inbounds pass. dribbled up the court through IUPUI's defense and into the lane before passing off to Bassett, who was wide open in the corner. Kinney finished with 12 points. and Cooper had nine assists. Robert Glenn finished with 20 points and Alex Young had 14 for the Jaguars. The game was tied 21-21 at halftime and featured seven ties and six lead changes. No. 8 West Virginia routs Rutgers 86·52 MORGANTOWN. W.Va. (AP)- Kevin Jones scored 19 points and No. 8 West Virginia never trailed in dismantling Rutgers 86-52 on Wednesday night. West V1rgm1a (12-l. 3-0 Big East) bounced back from a 15-point loss and its lowest point total of the season at Purdue with its second-highest output and perhaps most complete game. Da'Sean Butler and Darryl Bryant added 15 points apiece for West Virginia, which built a 17 -point halftime lead and cruised from there. Rutgers (9-5. 0-2) was held to its lowest point total oft. season and lost its third straight game. Jonathan Mitch led the Scarlet Knights with 17 points. Cavaliers waive G Coby Karl, son of Nuggets coach AP file photo This is a Jan. 8, 2006, file photo showing Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer lying on the field after injuring his knee against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first half of their NFL playoff football game, in Cincinnati. Palmer wasn't the problem. ''He had a lot of things go against him. like he had three dropped balls that I can remember right offhand,'" Jets coach Rex R)'an said "I will tell you one thmg: He can spin it with the best of them. If the} \\ant to get rid of Carson Palmer. we will take h1m." Palmer's seven years in the :-.:FL haven't played out the way he expected. The He1sman Trophy winner from Southern California was the first overall pick in 2003 and sat out his rookie season. watching Jon Kitna run the offense. In only his second year as a starter, he threw for 32 touchdowns and led the Bengals to their first playoff appearance since 1990. The Bengals faced the rival Steelers in their wildcard game at Paul Brown Stadium. and forced Pittsburgh to punt on the opening series. Cincinnati took over at its 11-yard line. Palmer handed off to Rudi Johnson for a 1-yard gain. then took a snap from Richie Braham and dropped back to pass. He held the ball a second longer than usual. allowing Henry to run past cornerback Deshea Townsend down the right s1dellne. The throv, was perfect. hitting Henry in stride for a 66-yard gain. the longest pass completion in Bengals playoff history. The crowd of 65.870 erupted. then went silent when it reali1.ed that Palmer was down. Oelhoffen had crashed into his lower leg just as he released the ball, shredding ligaments and dislocating his kneecap. Henry also hurt his right knee v.hilc making the catch. aggravated it a few plays later and had to be hcl pcd off the field. The Bengals melted down to a 31-17 loss that left them feeling cheated. "That 2005 game doesn't count." receiver Chad Ochocinco said. ··rve never played in the playoft's. 1t was very short. This is really my first playoff game.'' Palmer didn't miss a game the following season. ting ready for the Peach Bowl and Muschamp was in Atlanta visiting relatives. He decided to also visit some of his friends on the LSU staff and showed up to a walkthrough practice on Christmas. and met Saban for the first time. .. We were just talking about my experience. where I've been and what I was doing and just kind of hit it off:· Muschamp said. A few weeks later. LSu needed a linebackers coach. Saban wanted someone }Oung. from the South and with ties to the staff. Muschamp's buddies said something along the lines of. "Remember our pal you met at the Peach Bowl?" "So they brought me in for an interview,'' Muschamp said. "That night he offered me the job." Muschamp made a pretty quick impression on the folks at Texas, too.
