Miami receives notice of allegations
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) ? Miami has finally received its notice of allegations from the NCAA, a long-awaited document accuses the Hurricanes of a "lack of institutional control" within its athletic department.
The allegations arrived on Tuesday. The institutional-control charge is typically one of the most severe the NCAA can bring after an investigation of rules violations. The governing body for college athletics declined comment Tuesday, one day after revealing that it was erasing some elements of its case against Miami because the information was obtained in impermissible ways.
"We deeply regret any violations, but we have suffered enough," Miami President Donna Shalala said in a statement Tuesday night.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that several former members of Miami coaching staffs are named in the notice of allegations, including Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith, who was with the Hurricanes from 2004-11.
Next up: The sanctions phase, where Miami's penalties will be decided. The Hurricanes have already self-imposed several sanctions, including sitting out two bowl games and a conference football championship game. Shalala said Monday she believes those punishments should be enough.
This saga started in September 2010, when the university told the NCAA that convicted Ponzi scheme architect and former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro made allegations to the school against former players. Shapiro said he interacted mostly with football players and recruits, as well as a significantly smaller number of men's basketball players.
Shapiro is serving a 20-year prison term for masterminding a $930 million fraud scheme.
"Many of the charges brought forth are based on the word of a man who made a fortune by lying," Shalala wrote. "The NCAA enforcement staff acknowledged to the University that if Nevin Shapiro, a convicted con man, said something more than once, it considered the allegation 'corroborated' ? an argument which is both ludicrous and counter to legal practice"
Miami wants to get through the sanctions portion of the process as quickly as possible. But typically, it takes about three months for a hearing, and then can take several weeks ? if not months ? more for the penalties to be handed down. The sides coming to a settlement beforehand is another possibility.
Shalala said Miami will work diligently to prepare a response to the allegations within 90 days.
"We trust that the Committee on Infractions will provide the fairness and integrity missing during the investigative process," Shalala wrote.
Miami and the NCAA have gone back and forth on the wording of the notice of allegations for several weeks, and the long-awaited letter was nearly delivered last month. That's when the NCAA acknowledged that some mistakes were made by its own enforcement department. And that resulted in some allegations coming out of the letter.
It also led to yet another delay in the process, which many at Miami believe has dragged on for way too long.
"This cannot end quickly enough," Miami coach football Al Golden said earlier this month.
Within about six months of Miami originally bringing the information it had on Shapiro forward, an NCAA investigation was quietly underway, and the story became widely known in August 2011 after Shapiro provided Yahoo Sports with details of what he claimed to have given dozens of athletes, recruits and coaches over an eight-year period.
Among the gifts Shapiro alleged to provide: Memorabilia, cash amounts both large and small, dinners, strip-club trips, prostitutes, and even an abortion.
Shalala, however, labeled most of those alleged benefits as "sensationalized media accounts."
"Despite their efforts over two and a half years, the NCAA enforcement staff could not find evidence of prostitution, expensive cars for players, expensive dinners paid for by boosters, player bounty payments, rampant alcohol and drug use, or the alleged hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts given to student-athletes, as reported in the media," Shalala wrote. "The fabricated story played well ? the facts did not."
Several Miami football and men's basketball players have either served suspensions, paid restitution or both in the past two years after their involvement with Shapiro was discovered. Apparently upset with how people he thought were friends turned their back on him following his conviction for the Ponzi operation, Shapiro vowed that he would take down the program, and his attorney ? a Miami alum ? was willing to help the NCAA's cause.
Documents released Monday by the NCAA showed that Shapiro's attorney, Maria Elena Perez, offered to assist investigators working the Miami case by using subpoena power to depose witnesses under the guise of a bankruptcy case. NCAA enforcement officials accepted her offer, even feeding her questions to ask for at least one of the depositions, and records show they paid at least $19,000 for her work ? though she billed them for three times that much.
Perez did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday night. Shawn Eichorst, the Nebraska athletic director who held the same role at Miami for some of the NCAA probe, also declined comment. Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who was the AD at Miami for some of the time when Shapiro was a booster, did not respond to a request for comment.
Shalala also said former Miami athletic director Paul Dee, who held the job before Hocutt, also was not interviewed by the NCAA before his death in May 2012. Dee also was a member of the NCAA's committee on infractions, most notably when sanctions ? including a two-year bowl ban, scholarship reductions and vacating victories ? came down against Southern California in 2010, stemming from improper benefits given to then-Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush by sports marketers. Dee chaired the committee at the time, then saying "higher-profile players require higher-profile monitoring."
"The NCAA enforcement staff failed, even after repeated requests, to interview many essential witnesses of great integrity who could have provided first-hand testimony, including, unbelievably, Paul Dee, who has since passed away, but who served as Miami Athletic Director during many of the years that violations were alleged to have occurred," Shalala wrote. "How could a supposedly thorough and fair investigation not even include the Director of Athletics?"
Any allegations that came from the answers given in those depositions were taken out of the Miami case, the NCAA said on Monday when it unveiled the scope of its alliance with Perez and acknowledged that missteps were made. The NCAA's vice president of enforcement, who oversaw the Miami probe, has been ousted, and some investigators who worked the case are also no longer with the association.
That prompted Miami to lash out strongly at the NCAA on Monday, with Shalala saying "the lengthy and already flawed investigation has demonstrated a disappointing pattern of unprofessional and unethical behavior."
The NCAA declined comment Tuesday about Shalala's remarks, which included a demand that Miami not face any additional sanctions.

UFC 158 shuffled after Rory MacDonald injury
Now, Johny Hendricks, who was supposed to fight Jake Ellenberger at UFC 158, is stepping in to face Condit. Ellenberger also has his opponent set. Nate Marquardt saw an opportunity and tweeted:
Just heard @ellenbergermma doesn't have anyone to fight March 23 as of today. Just so happens I'm free that night! ;) Whatcha think?? #fb
? Nate Marquardt (@NathanMarquardt) February 19, 2013
He later corrected the date of the fight to March 16, but didn't change his sentiment. He still wanted the Ellenberger bout, and got his wish. Marquardt will face Ellenberger at UFC 158. The updated main card now includes the UFC welterweight champ, the former UFC interim champ, and the former Strikeforce champion.
Champion Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz
Carlos Condit vs. Johny Hendricks
Jake Ellenberger vs. Nate Marquardt
Chris Camozzi vs. Nick Ring
Colin Fletcher vs. Mike Ricci
Marquardt lost the Strikeforce welterweight belt in the promotion's final card. He dropped a decision to Tarec Saffiedine. This will be Marquardt's first fight with the UFC since he was cut from the promotion the day before a fight. Marquardt couldn't get clearance from the state commission to fight because of his high testosterone levels.

Germany charges 2 with selling Iran drone motors
BERLIN (AP) -- Two Iranian men have been charged with allegedly smuggling dozens of German-made aircraft motors to Iran to be used in its Ababil III surveillance and attack drone, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
Germany prohibits the export of goods to Iran that could be used for military purposes, abiding by international sanctions.
Iman J. L., a 30-year-old German-Iranian dual national, and Iranian Davood A., 54, have both been charged with violating German export laws, said prosecutors' spokesman Marcus Koehler. The men, whose last names were not given in accordance with German privacy laws, face two to 15 years in prison if convicted.
The Ababil is believed to have a maximum range of about 145 kilometers (90 miles) and can fly up to 4,300 meters (14,000 feet) high. It is primarily designed for surveillance and intelligence-gathering, although German prosecutors said it can also be used as an attack drone.
Iran has used Ababil-type drone for years. The U.S. military said in 2009 that American fighter jets shot down an Ababil III over Iraq.
J.L. is accused of delivering 61 motors in several shipments between October 2008 and October 2009 to Iran through his own import-export business. He is alleged to have used false customs declarations to hide what the cargo was and where it was going. The other man, A., is accused of reselling in Iran at least some of the motors to an unidentified buyer there.
Koehler would not identify the firm that produced the motors, nor say whether they were specifically designed for use in drones. He said only that "because of their design, the motors were suitable for the propulsion the Ababil III system drone, which are used by the Iranian military."
The charges have been filed with the Frankfurt state court, suggesting that the alleged crime took place in that area. The court has not yet decided whether to accept the charges, filed on Dec. 6, 2012, and proceed to trial, Koehler said.
He would not say where the men currently are, but said neither was taken into custody because they were not seen as a flight risk.

HTC One gets a one-up on the X. But will history repeat?
The HTC One, which is intended to compete directly with the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III, will go on sale next month in the US.?
A member of the audience films AOL CEO Tim Armstrong as he speaks during the launch of the HTC One smartphone in London.
Reuters
EnlargeOn Wednesday, HTC took the wraps off its newest flagship smartphone, the HTC One.?

The One ? which despite the branding, is actually a follow-up to last year's One X ? is being billed as a complete "reinvention of the mobile experience." Well, maybe. It's certainly a very good looking phone, from the aluminum unibody frame to the 4.7-inch high-resolution screen (1,920x1,080 pixels ? significantly more than the?1,136x640 on the Apple iPhone 5).
And it's certainly a powerful phone: witness the?two gigs of RAM and the quad-core Qualcomm processor.?
But according to HTC, the big innovation on the One ? the aforementioned "reinvention" ? is the revamped Sense interface, which includes something called a BlinkFeed, essentially an aggregation of content from a variety of social-media platforms and news and entertainment channels.?
"People today immerse themselves in a constant stream of updates, news, and information," HTC chief Peter Chou said in a statement. "Although smartphones are one of the main ways we stay in touch with the people and information we care about, conventional designs have failed to keep pace with how people are actually using them."?
Of course, as we recently noted, the One X was also meant to be a revolutionary phone ? and it was certainly beloved by reviewers. ("A?masterpiece of an Android device," one critic called it.)?But reports?last summer indicated that the One X was "underperforming," as were HTC's overall sales.?HTC has since dropped off the leader board of the top five global smart-phone brands.
"It's the reality of the smartphone business and a key dilemma for a company like HTC, which lacks the marketing firepower that larger rivals Apple and Samsung enjoy," Roger Cheng of CNET wrote in a smart piece today. "This year will be a critical one for HTC, which needs to prove that it can still compete in the increasingly duopolistic market. History has already shown that a sexy, new product just enough anymore."?
The HTC One will launch in March on?Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile; the price for the base model will be $199, on par with the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III.?
Will the phone prove to be a big hit for HTC??
As a last word, we'll leave you with a line from the UK Independent's hands-on test of the One.?
"[T]his is a stunningly attractive handset," writes reviewer David Phelan, "with an eye-poppingly good screen and a cute, intuitive and highly pleasing interface. If the camera lives up to expectations as well, this phone could be a game changer."
