St Louis Omaha and Philadelphia to host 2008 2011 NCAA sThe NCAA announced today the host cities for the 2008-2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships after a landmark bid process for the sport of wrestling through the NCAA.
The 2008-09 Championships will be hosted at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Mo. In 2008, the event will be held March 20-22. In 2009, the event will be held March 19-21.
In 2010, the tournament will move to the new Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., March 18-20. The 2011 Championships will take place at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pa., March 17-19.
St. Louis is the only city selected that has hosted previous wrestling championships, including the 2004 and 2005 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The event has been held in Pennsylvania 10 times, but never in Philadelphia.
"St. Louis has set the standard. The feedback that we've gotten from fans, coaches and the athletes, with everything associated with the event including transportation throughout the city and proximity of hotels to arena, was very positive," former Chair of the NCAA Wrestling Committee Tom Bold stated.
Bold's term as the committee's chair ended on August 31, but he was heavily involved with the entire bid process.
The other two cities that were finalists for the event were Cleveland, Ohio and Des Moines, Iowa.
"All five finalists brought a lot to the table and it was a difficult decision," Bold said. "It may sound trivial, but there were some issues with Gund Arena as to where we were going to be able to conduct efficiently weigh-ins and medical checks."
Bold added that the number of seats was an issue with the new Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
Approximately one year ago, the NCAA Wrestling Committee solicited bids for the 2008-2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. 15 cities placed bids to host the event for at least one of the four years, according to NCAA Assistant Director of Championships Randy Buhr.
Following the initial bids, the NCAA Wrestling Committee narrowed the bids to seven cities. The other two cities not in the finals were Columbus, Ohio and Denver, Colo. After site visits, Columbus and Denver were both eliminated.
"It really came down to venue specifications. They did not have the floor specifications we were looking for to host the championships," Bold said of Columbus and Denver.
After the five finalist cities were named, the NCAA Wrestling Committee made site visits to each of those five cities. It was the first time ever that the NCAA allocated funds to the wrestling committee to be able to make advance site visits during the bid process.
In April, the finalist cities made personal presentations to the NCAA Wrestling Committee in La Joya, Calif. Before the committee made recommendations to the NCAA Division I Championships Competition Cabinet, which approved the selections.
"It certainly was not any direction taken by the wrestling committee to not host the championships on a college campus," Bold said. "The cities involved made some great presentations. It was very difficult to make the final decision."
The last time the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships was held on a college campus was in 2001 in Iowa City, Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Also, the last time the tournament was held in an Eastern city was in 2002, when it was held in Albany, N.Y. at Pepsi Arena.
There was no discussion on moving the date of the championships. Currently, the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships are to be held the third full weekend of March as defined by a Thursday through Saturday according to Buhr. Earlier this year, it was announced that the first-ever baseball World Cup will be held on the same weekend as the 2006 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, which is also held the same weekend as the first round of the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments.
"For the first time in the history of the championships last year, the NCAA received unprecedented coverage from the ESPN family of networks. We really only received positive feedback from ESPN and their affiliation with the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships," Buhr said.
"I would hope that the addition of other events would not have any bearing on the coverage of this great event," he added.
There was also discussion of moving the event to a permanent site, such as St. Louis, for the four-year cycle.
"It is certainly something that we looked at as a committee. All the cities in their bids were bidding for multiple years or all four years. At this point, I don't think we were ready to go there," Bold said.
However, both Buhr and Bold were confident that the possibility of a permanent host for this event will be looked at again during the next bid cycle.
The next bid cycle will take place during the 2008-09 academic year for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships to be held during 2012-15.

Rick Springfield: Busted!
"Jessie's Girl" rocker Rick Springfield was arrested for spousal assault at his Malibu, Calif., residence on Monday. The arrest was made at about 6:30 p.m. PDT after the Sheriff's Department was tipped off by a 911 hang-up call they traced to Springfield's address.
"Deputies responded to the location, they talked to the people that were there and determined that a spousal abuse had taken place and arrested Rick Springfield," Sgt. William Hines of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told Hollywood.com.
Hines confirmed the woman's identity as Barbara Springthorpe, Springfield's wife.
The former "General Hospital" idol was released on $50,000 bail today. No court date has been set.
Springfield and his wife have been married for 18 years. They have two sons.

Local mum and business woman Stephanie Hayman and owner of thebestof has been announced as a finalist in the prestigious NatWest everywoman Awards.
Partnership matters take center stage today. Insecurity in your relationship my lead to a conflict between you and your mate, maybe you should take this opportunity to find other ways to strengthen your relationship. Also problems from an earlier relationship may be affecting this one. Making plans to attend a social event this evening will be high on your list today. Seems like you have one problem after another, but don`t throw in the towel just yet. Even though this task seems difficult at first, you will succeed at getting everything accomplished.
If you are married with children, you and your mate may not agree on how to discipline your child(ren). Taurus people are known for their easygoing nature, but you also realize that little ones need a firm hand. If you punish your child, make sure that you also show affection and approval afterwards. If you are planning to entertain this evening you can do it in style even if you have limited funds at this time. Be creative and improvise. The evening will still be a grand event.
You have had some choices this week that you were not sure how to handle them, suddenly the answers will become crystal clear and they will become into real opportunities. You may also find yourself having to jump into certain chances and not know the complete understanding of them. Just because everyone thinks your personal issues are their business don`t mean you have to let them in on everything. Some things need to remain private until you decide to tell someone. Focus more on listening to others thoughts and ideas.
This is not the day for constructive criticism or any other kind for that matter. Even if it is well intended you will feel your blood boil. Don`t waste your time in getting into a silly disagreement, and remember to always consider the source, and move on. Don`t let your emotions get the best of you during the morning hours. Thinking of your past will not change the future, so leave it there and make plans to change your tomorrow. Be on your toes when duty calls this afternoon you will feel a lot better that you did.
A close family member may confide to you, and this might make you feel uneasy. But no matter how surprised you might be, consider their feelings and don`t be too judgmental towards them. It will not help them if you are too preachy. Learning something new can be fun. If you have been wanting to take a class on something that interest you, now is the time to sign up for it. Your mind is ready for all that new knowledge so find something that interests you and soak it up. Tonight get together with friends, grill out, and play a game that challenges you to think. It may well turn out to be a fun and exciting evening.
You know what you want out of like and you deserve to have that dream come true. Even though close friends mean well, they often don`t see things from your point of view. Listen to your friends or maybe someone that you admire you could get some inspiration from them. Be cautious when speaking with others today about things you don`t want repeated. Someone may have a loose tongue and take what was said out of context. Just be careful during the morning hours. The afternoon hours are better for socializing and getting together with your family and loved ones.
You are not one to ignore a challenge, and you will find your self placing bets on a close relationship. Be careful, there is plenty that you will learn from your situation. You might find yourself involved with friends that will bring out the optimistic side of you. Group activities will be fun this morning so take the family to a near-by amusement center. Put aside business related issues and just enjoy the quality family time together. This evening wind down with a nice relaxing bath and enjoy a little alone time.
Handling a sticky situation with a lot of tactfulness saves the day, especially when it is between a co-worker or supervisor. This could have otherwise spiraled out of control. You may not have great people-skills, but as long as you keep the lines of communication open you will not fail. Health issues may be a concern in the early morning hours, if you feel a little sluggish, get some rest and don`t try to over stress early today. By mid-afternoon you should be back to your old self.
This may be the time when an opportunity arises to further your education could come your way, think of all the possibilities. You could be in a better position to get a higher paying job. You need to take a positive role in this to achieve this. Your day time calendar is full this morning. So be on your toes in the early hours, knock out a lot of chores before lunch time comes, and you just may be able to slow down a little before the afternoon hours catch up with you.
A friend may approach you with a promising financial proposition today. Everything looks good, but you still might lose your money. You may or may not be interested in this great plan, just don`t let yourself be pressured just because of the friendship you have. Secrets are on your mind at this time, but it is not time to let the cat out of the bag just yet. Hold off for a bit longer, you will be glad you did. Friends want to know because the suspense is killing them.
People in your professional circle will be very helpful today, so make the most of it. You might attend a seminar or be involved with another educational device that will inspire you to get further training. Relationships are what it is all about. You and a partner may make important plans for the future. Some may even get a proposal. The afternoon on into the evening hours look to be busy at work. You may feel like you will never get out of there, but you will. Tonight just relax.
If someone at work is trying to make you made, ignore it. When the person realizes that he or she cannot upset you they will probably stop. You don`t like being confronted, so don`t feel bad about handling the situation this way. Work is going to be a little hectic in the morning hours, but by mid-afternoon you will be able to take a deep breath. Take a long lunch with co-workers and just chill a bit before you start getting yourself back to your busy schedule.

Tom Hall: The Tea Party Republican candidate is now beloved because he lies, rather than despite his lies. The concept that a political leader can lie with impunity has become a badge of success.
The Right to Shirk
John T. Cumbler: Indiana 's proposed "Right to Work" Act is not just anti-union, it is anti-democratic. Under the law if a majority of workers in a plant vote for a union, those who opposed the union would not have to contribute dues to the union.
Professionals Moving to Organized Labor
Sharon Kyle: Labor union membership has declined significantly in the United States over the last 50 years, but this segment of the labor market is booming.
Can Labor Confront Obama Over Jobs?
Shamus Cooke: Hefty splits in the labor movement have already emerged on whether to support Obama's reelection, based on his complete lack of action on creating jobs combined with his false promises in the 2008 election.
Teach for America Roots
Mark Naison: It behooves us, as progressive organizers and justice fighters, to keep the lines of communication open to people in these organizations, and be there to work with them if they join us in resistance to policies that concentrate economic sacrifice amongst America's poor.
Crunch Time for Public Sector Unions
Shamus Cooke: Public sector unions must mobilize their members and the community they serve to fight back. They have no other choice if they are to remain powerful or even relevant.
The Labor Movement Shall Not Be Erased From History
Bill Londrigan: Working mostly behind the scenes in academic, political, and media circles for the past 40-plus years, corporations and the wealthy elite have funded a multipronged strategy to wipe out the history of the integral role played by the American labor movement in the founding and growth of our nation.
Republican War on Worker Rights Undermines Economy
Robert Reich: The only way back toward sustained growth and prosperity in the United States is to remake the basic bargain linking pay to productivity. This would give the American middle class the purchasing power they need to keep the economy going.
Republicans Keep Flunking on Union Issues, but Trumka Puts Democrats on Notice, Too
Berry Craig: Many union members were deeply disappointed when Congress failed to do more to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Unions wanted more health care reform than Congress delivered, too.
Mass Immigration and the Dilemma of American Unions
Should Public Workers Make Concessions?
Shamus Cooke: War has been declared on unions and some labor leaders are pretending that they can offer concessions to appease their attackers. Unfortunately, this strategy has failed for years, and is in fact why the right wing felt confident enough to officially declare war.
Scott Walker Lies
Walter Brasch: Newly-elected Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-dominated Wisconsin legislature have proven themselves to be "quick studies," having learned how to tell whoppers about the working class and unions.
The Value of Collective Bargaining
Steve Hochstadt: As grass-roots organizations, unions are feared by dictators. All of the world's dictatorships, whether left or right, have banned free unions.

Tom Hall: The Roberts Court's formal gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act will be announced later this spring, after the weather has warmed up, after the school year has ended. After young black men in cities around the nation will join their fathers, standing on line to apply for jobs they won't be given.
Save the Term, "Negro"… Really?
Anthony Samad: Anybody ever stopped to think why Negroes stopped calling themselves Negroes? Because, it was a term of subjugation that turned into a racial designation, to mark black people for discrimination.
The Radical King: Is The Absence of Tension the Presence of Justice?
Antonhy Samad: IWhat black people should be using as a day of critical observation and self-examination, we use to parade and party. And you wonder why the world thinks black people are crazy for remaining in the conditions of socio-economic compromise for as long as they have.
Pseudo-Scientific Attack On Black Beauty
Anthony Samad: Satoshi Kanazawa, a Japanese psychologist and controversial researcher, wrote an article that was a purported study on anatomical beauty traits, originally entitled, "Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?"
McCain's Misogyny and Fear Keep Palin on Tight Leash

I'm splitting the star votes on this one. I thought it was great alternative to to out everyday spud salad, DH not so much. Take into consideration that he doesn't like much and tart usually doesn't rate high with him. Actually I was kind of on his side with the first bite but it grew on me real fast and I soon became a believer. I used the cider vinegar. This was a great go along with tonights grilled lamb

"It's hard to be interested in statistics with our scheme," Garoutte said, "I mean I would love to have 100-percent touchbacks and I'm sure they would too, but it's not realistic with how we do things."
Stepping into a narrowed role has allowed Garoutte to concentrate solely on one aspect of the game while trying to balance an attitude more focused on the success of the team versus his own.
"It's not always easier doing one," Garoutte confessed. I want to be able to be on the field as much as possible."
The former Phoenix Brophy product got his wish, when he found himself learning yet another way to kick the pigskin. Garoutte stepped into the role as the team's punter in the Sun Devils' victory over the USC Trojans after the team's duo of punters, true freshman Matt Haack and walk-on junior Dom Vizzare failed early in the season to provide adequate field position with their punts.
"It was kind of just that we got to the point that we tried something knew, because what we had wasn't the best," Garoutte recalled.
In efforts to address a potent Trojan punt returner in wide receiver Marqise Lee, the coaches implemented a rugby style punt method for Garoutte and due to its success that scheme has continued ever since.
"We always had always a little bit of a rugby thing in there," Garoutte explained, "and when they saw me do it for the first time they realized that I would work and could help them."
It is working; and it's also giving Garoutte an opportunity to help his team on the road to a possible Pac-12 South championship. The effectiveness of the unique punt really boils down to limiting the opportunities of the punt returner and coverage.
"The returner doesn't get the ball. They never get to return, so wherever the ball ends up is pretty much how far the punt was." Garoutte noted. "Also, time is never an issue. First off, when it takes you three seconds to get the ball off as opposed to two it adds a second for the gunners to get down there and cover; so it really helps from the coverage aspect."
Yet, in Thursday night's 55-21 win over Washington State, Garoutte pulled out another stop; when he faked a punt and ran for 19-yards and a first down with a block from Will Sutton.
"I'd seen it a couple times where Will (Sutton) did a really good job shielding that guy out," Garoutte recalled. "It looked exactly like I saw in practice so I just went for it. It was kind of just instinct. Once I got to a certain point I just went; just ran."
After a 2012 season where he converted just 6 of 11 field goals, Garoutte says that he didn't see his performance Thursday, or even his play this season for that matter, as necessarily redeeming.
"I was just going out there playing and having fun," Garoutte said.
Though Garoutte isn't putting points on the scoreboard by splitting the uprights, based off of his rapidly expanding role and success on special teams; his preparation, focus and determination to regain an influential role has paid off.
Looking back at the juncture when he expanded his roles, Garoutte claimed that his approach from week to week hadn't modified.
"It didn't really change anything for me," Garoutte said. "I still prepared the same. I went out there and tried to be the best that I can be to help this team."

Cabin 1878. Too much closet space in a narrow corridor with bathroom. Low light level in that space that made it difficult to see inside the safe. Because of the restrictions on air line luggage, this area didn't need so much storage space and so many doors.
Only one power outlet in cabin which made life quite complicated keeping batteries charged etc and using hair dryer.
Chose this cabin because of its central location and low noise level. Terrible smell of exhaust on arriving and leaving port from air conditioning.

Much progress in five years, but some goals still unmet
Milwaukee's officials can take credit for helping to put the tools in place to grow the economy, but they need an overarching plan.
Rocky Marcoux ticks off the city's accomplishments rapid-fire: the final phases of the Menomonee Valley, The Moderne, the Aloft hotel, the North End, the Brewery, Talgo, Ingeteam and many more.
All are projects completed under the watch of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and shepherded in one way or another by Marcoux, the city's director of the Department of City Development. All add to the city's tax base, create jobs and secure important corners of the city. And now, throughout the city, other catalytic developments such as these beckon. The biggest one of all: the 30th St. industrial corridor including the former Tower Automotive complex near Capitol Drive and 35th St. Turn around that 84-acre slice of central city Milwaukee, and thousands of the city's poorest residents will have a lot more hope than they do now. It really is that important.
So we think it would be a mistake to be overly critical of the city's development team after reading a new report by the Public Policy Forum, a nonpartisan watchdog group. The forum's analysis of city economic development efforts, released this weekend, gives credit where it is due but also critiques the city's efforts since the forum's last look-see in 2006. Its findings: Much progress to report but nagging weaknesses, too, including a lack of coordination between the entities responsible for growing jobs in the city and the seven-county region and a lack of an overarching strategic plan.
Without such a plan, the forum says, "it is nearly impossible to measure progress and ensure accountability." We agree.
The city and region have made tremendous strides in collaborating. The Balkan States of Southeastern Wisconsin no longer exist. There are new tools for recruitment and retention of companies - and growing new ones - tools that were only ideas back in 2006. The region has a website for marketing. It has a high-tech resource center to woo prospects. It has a compact that representatives of the seven counties signed vowing fealty to the idea of collaboration. It has a group devoted solely to developing water technology. It has a group devoted solely to start-ups. The region has a strategic plan, even if the city does not.
None of that existed in 2006, and Barrett can rightly take some of the credit. He was, in the words of Tim Sheehy, president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, "an early adopter" of the idea of the Milwaukee 7 - the regional economic development group that pushed for greater collaboration and the creation of these tools to attract and grow jobs in the region. As Marcoux put it: "The M-7 doesn't exist without Tom Barrett." He's right.
But should there be better coordination? Should there be a set of well-thought-out common goals? Should there be a strategic plan that establishes the city's mission - what it wants to be in the future - and sets up a timetable and measurements to ensure that progress is made? Should there be broad agreement on how best to grow jobs - how much emphasis to place on attracting new businesses vs. growing start-ups?
You bet. And that's what a broader statement of mission can accomplish.
Not that the city hasn't been planning. It only recently completed an exhaustive neighborhood planning process and now has highly detailed, specific plans for 13 regions of the city. In addition, each time the city establishes a tax incremental financing district (where infrastructure is laid first and paid for later by expected increases in property taxes), the city requires a detailed plan. So, in that sense, the city has a plan. Lots of plans.
"I would say we have it in pieces," Marcoux said. "I measure success in how many housing units we put up. I measure success in our population number, in how many new jobs we create, in how much foreign direct investment we can get in this economy."
All important measures. But the forum has a point: The city needs a detailed, overarching statement of mission.
In Portland, Ore., a crown jewel in the Pacific Northwest, the city adopted an ambitious, five-year growth strategy in 2009 that sets a goal of boosting the city's employment by 10,000 jobs and building "the most sustainable economy in the world." The document is detailed. It outlines the city's objectives and recommends actions to realize those objectives. This is the sort of plan that Milwaukee needs.
The forum's report should motivate officials to do even more to create jobs.
Barrett recently set an ambitious goal for reducing infant mortality in Milwaukee, one of the city's most glaring problems. Why not do the same for jobs?
Does the city need a strategic plan for economic development? Email your opinion to firstname.lastname@example.com to be considered for publication as a letter to the editor. Please see letters guidelines.

Many people still think of stylistics as consisting of the study of the surface features of language, such as the distribution of sound patterns, grammatical constructions, and vocabulary types, in order to identify or characterize a given style, whether that of an author, a genre, a period or an individual text. While something like this might have been an adequate, or partially adequate, characterization of stylistics fifty or sixty years ago, it is not at all adequate now. The concern with surface stylistic features persists, of course, but contemporary stylistics is concerned above all with how those features are interpreted by the minds of readers, with how, by starting from those linguistic features as indications and prompts, …

I understand that being a single guy and never having even dated someone with a kid and then meeting me (I have a 7 year-old daughter) can be difficult. My dd's real dad was never around so my SO is her first experience of having a father figure. He is wonderful with her and has really stepped up to the plate. She even calls him daddy and he loves it. I'm just concerned he will treat our LO different because she will actually be "his". Sometimes he gets annoyed at my dd for little things like if she is singing or dancing around the house. I try to tell him that she is a little girl what do you expect? I feel like if our LO starts singing and dancing he will be ok with it. I just don't want him to cause resentment between my dd and our new daughter. If he does treat them different i'm afraid my dd will resent him and the LO. I don't know for sure because I was an only child so I don't know how sibling relationships work but that's just my feelings. I don't know how to explain this to him. He claims he won't treat them different.
Concerns about SO treating my dd differently from "our" child
Posted 08/30/2013

I've had this discussion with SO also. I understand he will feel a certain connection with his biological child, but I've made it clear that the children are never to feel the difference. It's a normal concern and as long as you discuss your expectations from him and he's agreed then try to ease your worry.

My husband was a happy go lucky single guy until he met me, a girl with a two year old. She doesn't call him daddy and she is close to her dad, but you can never tell the difference of how he treats my daughter and his "own". He calls her his daughter and everyone is surprised when and if they find out. I guess it depends on the guy. If he loves you and loves his daughter then you shouldn't see a difference.
Posted 08/30/2013
As a step mom of two older girls, I can understand how you feel and your concerns are justified. Blended families are difficult, especially in my case where I'm reminded that my step daughters are "mine" one minute then told I'm not their mother when it comes to discipline and decisions by my in laws. Just make sure you and dh have this conversation before the new baby comes so you're on the same page
Posted 08/30/2013
I worry about the same thing. My husband is amazing with my 7y/o DD, but I am a bit worried how things will change.I'm glad I'm having a boy-he can have his little buddy and me and DD can have girl time alone.
Posted 08/30/2013
I REALLY don't want to scare you but your concerns are exactly what happened to two of my best friends. He was single, only dated girls with no children, then he met my friend who had a 5 year old son at the time and the little boy called him daddy and they were the cutest and happiest little family. She got pregnant and then things changed Dramatically and after 3 years they broke up. Both of the children call him daddy but I see an obvious difference in the way he acts towards both of them. In all honesty I could care less about my friend and the guy, I just feel bad for the two boys because most of the time they just seemed confused.
I think you should try again to express your concern to him, but not in a blaming, pointing the finger kind of way. Or maybe wait and see what happens when baby comes. But I'm praying that he will treat them equally and love them the same!

I had the same experience but in truth even you will treat them different. Your daughter is older and you will have different expectations for her than your baby. My son was eight years older than my daughter and my little one who got more attention just because she was younger and more needy would get upset how my son could do things she couldn't. I also had a tendency of yelling at my son when the two of them fought but that is because I would say you are older and should know better. Every child is different and I love both my kids but it is impossible to treat them the same because there needs, maturity and personalities are so different. I find it funny because they will ask me who there favorite is and in front of both I say I love you both equally but separately I tell whoever is asking they are my favorite but don't tell the other. Lol when I die they should get a good laugh if they compare.
Posted 08/30/2013
My mom said once she had me and my brother she grew more tolerable and had more patience for my half brother, who my dad had custody of when they met. So hopefully when your LO is born he will have more patience for the dancing and singing.

Sorry, but I just have to say that you really shouldn't have your daughter call a man you are dating "daddy" unless you are married and perhaps he has even adopted her. If you break up will she call your next boyfriend daddy? I know you didn't ask for that but I felt I had to be an advocate for your daughter. :(

I have a friend who has 4 children it was quite awhile before I found out that her partner wasn't her eldest two children's dad they are grown and have families of there own now. Her partner doesn't treat her eldest two any differently. I asked when they started calling him dad and apparently they were 4 & 2 and they started all on their own she tried to correct them but they continued to call him dad and still do. He does however spoil his biological grand kids more but that could also be because they are now living with them. I really think it depends on who it is. The other thing my friend said was when their dd was born she would get frustrated with him because basically what she realises now was he was learning whereas at the time she was annoyed at certain things he did and that it took time for them to sort out there roles and responsibilities. Apparently he was more hands on with her elder two because he was used to it and was a little scared of their daughter because it was new to him and they would get into arguments because of it. But as I said in their case things worked out. Remember to talk and allow him to talk about his expectations and worries too.

Cowboy charged after player dies in auto accident
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys practice-squad linebacker Jerry Brown was killed in a one-car accident Saturday and teammate Josh Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said the accident happened at about 2:20 a.m. in the Dallas suburb. Brent was speeding when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once, Argumaniz said.
Argumaniz said the 25-year-old Brown -- also Brent's teammate at the University of Illinois for three seasons -- was found unresponsive at the scene and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The police spokesman said officers conducted a field sobriety test on Brent, a nose tackle, and arrested him. The charge was upgraded after Brown was pronounced dead.
"We are deeply saddened by the news of this accident and the passing of Jerry Brown," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "At this time, our hearts and prayers and deepest sympathies are with the members of Jerry's family and all of those who knew him and loved him."
The team said that Brent was not on the team flight to Cincinnati, where the Cowboys play the Bengals today.
Argumaniz said Brent was being held without bond. Brent is named as Joshua Price-Brent in the police news release. Argumaniz also said Brent missed a 10 a.m. Saturday booking session with a judge because he was intoxicated. He did not know if Brent had an attorney.
Police received 911 calls from motorists who saw the upside-down vehicle but they did not immediately have any eyewitnesses to the wreck, Argumaniz said.
He said when officers arrived at the scene on a state highway service road, Brent was dragging Brown from the vehicle, a Mercedes, which was on fire.
Argumaniz wasn't sure if the vehicle was a car or sport utility vehicle and said it wasn't known how fast the vehicle was traveling. The road has a 45-mph speed limit.
"I can say investigators are certain they were traveling well above the posted speed limit," Argumaniz said.
Before he was taken to the jail, Brent went to a hospital for a blood draw for alcohol testing and also received treatment for minor scrapes.
Brent was arrested in February 2009 near the Illinois campus for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and speeding, according to Champaign County, Ill., court records.
In June 2009, Brent pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, two years of probation, 200 hours of community service and a fine of about $2,000. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors dropped one count of aggravated DUI/no valid driver's license. Brent completed his probation in July 2011, court records show.

Pamela Susan Courson (December 22, 1946-April 25, 1974) was best known as the common-law wife of late Doors' vocalist Jim Morrison. Early life Morrison Courson first met Jim Morrison in Los Angeles around 1966 when the Doors were beginning their public career; where exactly they first met is still a matter of historical debate. In his 1998 memoir Light My Fire: My Life with the Doors, former keyboardist Ray Manzarek stated that Courson and a friend saw the band during their stint at the London Fog, a lesser-known nightclub along the Sunset Strip, and that she was initially courted by drummer John Densmore. Deaths of Morrison and Courson On July 3, 1971 James Douglas Morrison died in his bathtub under mysterious circumstances at twenty-seven years of age. The official coroner...

We had planned to go to Clearwater beach that day so we went off in the car, there were traffic jams for miles and when we arrived near the beach realised it was going to cost $20-30 to park for the day. Uh oh. We drove along the road till a lady with a sign waved us down. She was offering parking in her driveway for $20. I explained I didn't have cash but she said that was fine.

Later that night we went south to St. Petersburg. We didn't know what was going on but there was traffic and then we started seeing people walking with their folding chairs. I saw a sign that read, "A Taste of Parnella." Not sure what that was but we found parking, grabbed Rusty and our chairs and started heading in ...

At a certain instant, an electron is seen close to the wire, at a distance d = 1.20 mm from the wire, moving with a velocity v = 2.25 x 106 m/s, in the direction shown. Draw the vector showing the force on the electron. Calculate the magnitude of the force. Neglect the thickness of the wire. Of course the blue dot does not mean that the electron is that big. The electron has no diameter to worry about. Look for data on the electron in your book, or on Google if you need to.

A sensor-equipped basketball and an app will help you achieve Air
"Ball don't lie," Rasheed Wallace famously said during a basketball game once. Stick nine sensors in that same basketball, though, and you can really find out the truth about your game. That's the idea behind the 94Fifty Smart Sensor basketball, developed by InfoMotion Sports Technologies.
The ball bucks the current FitTech trend in which people wear sensors on their wrist or elsewhere on their body to record exercise data, moving those sensors to the equipment itself.
It's a pretty sweet product. If you like basketball.

Skills Required
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids36
Project Description
I am looking for a database to be built in MS Access. I have an inventory list with item names, item quantities. This database will be used for a customer to schedule their event. Event contains a Start Date and End Date as well as Start Time and End Time. More than one event can be scheduled at any given day. The main function needed is for the database to check inventory availability for the given day. Simply put, an event can't be scheduled if there is not enough inventory to go around. A user is to enter their event information on a form and also select the items needed for that day(s) and also their desired quantity of items. If the inventory is available, this event is marked as "scheduled", otherwise the user needs to be notified which item would not be available to them on that given day. If you are interested I can link the inventory list to you.

The Artist and the Mathematicianby Amir D. Aczel
Nicolas Bourbaki, whose mathematical publications began to appear in the late 1930s and continued to be published through most of the twentieth century, was a direct product as well as a major force behind an important revolution that took place in the early decades of the twentieth century that completely changed Western culture. Pure mathematics, the area of Bourbaki's work, seems on the surface to be an abstract field of human study with no direct connection with the real world. In reality, however, it is closely intertwined with the general culture that surrounds it. Major developments in mathematics have often followed important trends in popular culture; developments in mathematics have acted as harbingers of change in the surrounding human culture. The seeds of change, the beginnings of the revolution that swept the Western world in the early decades of the twentieth century - both in mathematics and in other areas - were sown late in the previous century. This is the story both of Bourbaki and the world that created him in that time. It is the story of an elaborate intellectual joke - because Bourbaki, one of the foremost mathematicians of his day - never existed.
Descartes's Secret Notebook: A True Tale of Mathematics, Mysticism , and the Quest to Understand the Universeby Amir D. Aczel
René Descartes (1596-1650) is one of the towering and central figures in Western philosophy and mathematics. His apothegm "Cogito, ergo sum" marked the birth of the mind-body problem, while his creation of so-called Cartesian coordinates have made our physical and intellectual conquest of physical space possible. But Descartes had a mysterious and mystical side, as well. Almost certainly a member of the occult brotherhood of the Rosicrucians, he kept a secret notebook, now lost, most of which was written in code. After Descartes's death, Gottfried Leibniz, inventor of calculus and one of the greatest mathematicians in history, moved to Paris in search of this notebook--and eventually found it in the possession of Claude Clerselier, a friend of Descartes. Leibniz called on Clerselier and was allowed to copy only a couple of pages--which, though written in code, he amazingly deciphered there on the spot. Leibniz's hastily scribbled notes are all we have today of Descartes's notebook, which has disappeared. Why did Descartes keep a secret notebook, and what were its contents? The answers to these questions lead Amir Aczel and the reader on an exciting, swashbuckling journey, and offer a fascinating look at one of the great figures of Western culture.
Entanglement: The Greatest Mystery in Physicsby Amir D. Aczel
Why packages separated by thousands of miles change together.
The Mystery of the Alephby Amir D. Aczel
The history of infinity emphasizing the people who were interested in the concept. Stresses philosophical and religious importance of mathematical ideas throughout history. Fascinating even if math is not your strong suit.
Pendulumby Amir D. Aczel
He was neither a mathematician nor a trained physicist and yet Léon Foucault always knew that a mysterious force of nature was among us. Like Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, and others before him, Foucault sensed a dramatic relationship between the rotating skies above and the seemingly motionless ground beneath our feet. But it wasn't until 1851 -- in Paris, inside the Panthéon, and in the company of fellow amateur scientist Napoleon III -- that Foucault swung a pendulum and demonstrated an extraordinary truth about the world: that it turns on its axis. Pendulum is a fascinating journey through the mind and findings of one of the most important and lesser-known characters in the history of science. Through careful research and lively anecdotes, world-renowned author Amir D. Aczel reveals the astonishing range and breadth of Foucault's discoveries. For, in addition to offering the first unequivocal proof of Earth's rotation, Foucault gave us the modern electric compass and microscope, was a pioneer in photographic technology, and made remarkable deductions about color theory, heat waves, and the speed of light. At its heart, Pendulum is a story about the illustrious period in France during the Second Empire; the crucial triumph of science over religion; and, most compelling, the life of a struggling, self-made man whose pursuit of knowledge continues to inform our notions about the universe today.
Por qué la ciencia no refuta a Diosby Amir D. Aczel
Un libro persuasivo y ampliamente documentado que responde, con argumentos científicos, a la pregunta: ¿realmente la ciencia invalida a Dios?En años recientes, un grupo de renombrados científicos e intelectuales -en el que destacan Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss y el recientemente fallecido Christopher Hitchens- ha argumentado con vehemencia que los avances en la ciencia moderna han refutado la existencia de Dios. Este grupo, conocido como los "Nuevos Ateos", postula que la religión debe ser confrontada y criticada y que la evolución explica enteramente la intrincada complejidad de la vida. Sin embargo, en este libro, el escritor y divulgador de la ciencia Amir Aczel expresa su desacuerdo y afirma que la ciencia aún no proporciona evidencias definitivas que invalide la existencia de Dios.Con base en entrevistas con once premios nobel y muchos otros prominentes físicos, biólogos, antropólogos y psicólogos, así como destacados teólogos y líderes espirituales, Por qué la ciencia no refuta a Dios recorre la historia de la ciencia y hace un brillante e incisivo análisis de las implicaciones religiosas de nuestro entendimiento cada vez más profundo de la vida y el universo. A través de este libro, Amir Aczel nos recuerda que la ciencia, en su mejor expresión, consiste en la búsqueda desapasionada de la verdad y no debe emplearse como un arma en debates culturales. Respetuoso tanto de la ciencia como de la fe -y escrito desde la perspectiva de ninguna religión en particular- este libro aporta argumentos sólidos y frescos a uno de los debates más urgentes de nuestro tiempo.
Present at the Creationby Amir D. Aczel
The Large Hadron Collider is the biggest, and by far the most powerful, machine ever built. A project of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, its audacious purpose is to re-create, in a 16.5-mile-long circular tunnel under the French-Swiss countryside, the immensely hot and dense conditions that existed some 13.7 billion years ago within the first trillionth of a second after the fiery birth of our universe. The collider is now crashing protons at record energy levels never created by scientists before, and it will reach even higher levels by 2013. Its superconducting magnets guide two beams of protons in opposite directions around the track. After accelerating the beams to 99.9999991 percent of the speed of light, it collides the protons head-on, annihilating them in a flash of energy sufficient--in accordance with Einstein's elegant statement of mass-energy equivalence, E=mc2--to coalesce into a shower of particles and phenomena that have not existed since the first moments of creation. Within the LHC's detectors, scientists hope to see empirical confirmation of key theories in physics and cosmology.In telling the story of what is perhaps the most anticipated experiment in the history of science, Amir D. Aczel takes us inside the control rooms at CERN at key moments when an international team of top researchers begins to discover whether this multibillion-euro investment will fulfill its spectacular promise. Through the eyes and words of the men and women who conceived and built CERN and the LHC--and with the same clarity and depth of knowledge he demonstrated in the bestselling Fermat's Last Theorem--Aczel enriches all of us with a firm grounding in the scientific concepts we will need to appreciate the discoveries that will almost certainly spring forth when the full power of this great machine is finally unleashed.Will the Higgs boson make its breathlessly awaited appearance, confirming at last the Standard Model of particles and their interactions that is among the great theoretical achievements of twentieth-century physics? Will the hidden dimensions posited by string theory be revealed? Will we at last identify the nature of the dark matter that makes up more than 90 percent of the cosmos? With Present at the Creation, written by one of today's finest popular interpreters of basic science, we can all follow the progress of an experiment that promises to greatly satisfy the curiosity of anyone who ever concurred with Einstein when he said, "I want to know God's thoughts--the rest is details."From the Hardcover edition.
Probability 1by Amir D. Aczel
For thousands of years, it was the visionaries and writers who argued that we cannot be alone-that there is intellegent life in the universe. Now, with the discoveries of the Hubble Telescope, data emerging from Mars, and knowledge about life at the extremes, scientists are taking up where they left off. Amir Aczel, author of Fermat's Last Theorem, pulls together everyting science has discovered, and mixes in proabability theory, to argure the case for the existence of intelligent life beyond this planet. Probability 1 is an extraordinary tour de force in which the author draws on cosmology, math, and biology to tell the rollicking good story of scientists tackling important scientific questions that help answer this fundamental question. What is the probability of intelligent life in the universe? Read this book, and you'll be convinced, by the power of the argument and the excitement of the science.

UK pension assets hit £2 trillion
UK pension fund assets hit £2 trillion for the first time at the end of December 2012, up from £1.9 trillion a year earlier, according to the latest figures from the Investment Management Association.
Local government pension schemes accounted for a larger proportion of assets in 2012, representing 6.9% of total mandates at £171 billion. This was up from £142 billion, 5.8% of total mandates, in 2011.
Corporate pension funds remained around the £1 trillion mark, although in-house occupational pension scheme assets under management grew by £3 billion during 2012.
The IMA's annual report includes both defined contribution and defined benefit assets.
Pension funds accounted for 51.6% of the UK institutional investment market by the end of December 2012, up from 50.3% at the end of 2011, with the insurance market shrinking by 2.9 percentage points.
The remaining institutional assets – including public sector, non-profit, corporate and sub-advisory funds — totaled 14.1%, down from 12.6% at the end of 2011.
UK assets under management are split in favour of actively managed funds, which accounted for 78.1% of the market, with the remainder in passively-managed funds. The percentage in actively managed funds increased by 0.2 percentage points between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012.
The percentage of assets invested in money market funds decreased from 8.1% in 2011 to 7% at the end of December 2012.
Assets invested in equities increased to 42% at the end of 2012, compared with 41.8% a year earlier. In 2012, 32.8% of that total was invested in UK equities, compared to 36.8% in 2011. Meanwhile, 22% of equity investments were in Europe (ex UK) in 2012, compared to 19.5% in 2011, while 16.8% of the equity share was invested in North American equities, up from 16.5% in 2011.
Fixed-income investments dropped from 38.3% of total assets in 2011 to 37.3% at the end of December 2012.
