Police: Adrian Peterson's son, 2, has died
Police officials confirmed Friday afternoon that Adrian Peterson's son, 2, had died.
Stu Whitney of the Argus Leader reported Thursday that Peterson was in Sioux Falls, S.D., dealing with a very serious medical issue involving a young family member that was likely to become a police matter.
Reports later stated that Peterson's two-year-old son had allegedly been beaten by the boyfriend of the child's mother. The man was arrested, and police said Friday afternoon that the state's attorney's office is considering additional charges.
Adrian Peterson's father spoke with the Pioneer Press's Sean Jensen earlier in the day.
"We are asking for prayers and for respect for our family as (we) deal with this tragic situation," Nelson Peterson told Jensen.

Shortly after the police announcement, Peterson tweeted the following:
Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support.

RIP lil man so sad !
First of all my heart goes out to this man and family and his loss. He only knew this was his son for a short period of time and at least he made an effort to be there for his son.
A lot of you, not all, question why he went to practice....people mourn in different ways. We all do not mourn the same. Especially when a loved one is lost in a traumatic manner. Honestly, I would rather him clear his head on the football field than a bottle and get behind the wheel. Some of you may get this so may not...just walk in his shoes. I have twin boys. If I was too lose them due to violence and needed an outlet, other than a grief counselor, i would hit the gym or run. Does that make me a bad mom, no. It makes me a better person for getting my head straight so I can cry talk or move forward.
Lastly, a few writers, not all, said this happens in the black community...this is not true. Domestic violence is prevelant in all ethncities and socio-economic backgrounds. I worked as a counselor for victims of domestic violence in FL. I also did the statistics for the city I lived in. Top offenders for domestic violence were Caucasian. Everyone wants to say its a black problem a poor problem a ghetto problem. No its a community problem. Its a cycle. If the son was getting beat, I can almost quarentee you the mother was too according to statistics.
So you can play the race card if you want...The bigger picture is...this man lost his son he just found. He was only two years old. He won't be able to teach him football, how to ride a bike, help with homework, or even how to build things. He is left with very few memories and that has got to hurt. So don't ridicule the man on he mourns. Pray for him. This is happening way to often and it has to stop.
Sorry about the ramble and the typos.
Alcohol or drugs probably played a role in Adrian's son's death, but while this one death makes headlines, "there is a worldwide war on Christianity."
Senator Rand Paul chose to highlight the danger of radical Islam in his speech before the Values Voter Summit Friday morning. He explained the war on Christianity is not making the headlines it should because the "narrative is not convenient" to the establishment media.
"The president tries to gloss over who's attacking and killing Christians. The media describes the killings as 'sectarian.'" But the truth, said the senator, is war is being waged on Christians "by a fanatical element of Islam." The senator said the killers were a minority of Muslims, but, "unfortunately, that minority number is in the tens of millions. http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/rand-paul-obama-complicit-in-christian-deaths/
God bless you brother...may your baby boy rest in peace now he's with God....
I regret defending AP earlier, now that the story is out that he indifferently left his dying son's bedside just so he could get back to practice to 'relieve his stress'. Are you kidding me?
There is lot in store for you... I know you are going difficult time. God will provide full support to you and your wife. RIP.
I "heard" another report that this boyfriend RECENTLY found about who this kid's father was. Hence, he could have been surprised. (Or maybe he was told it was his kid and now he finds out it isn't his kid.)
Unfortunately I don't have the link where it said this boyfriend recently found out who this kid's father really was.
And no one should be surprised with the culture of living together and kids from multiple fathers in the bl?ck community. That community is only reaping what they are sowing.
Regardless, don't be surprised that there is a LOT MORE TO THIS STORY than a guy going berserk and killing a kid.
First My prayers go out to this family for the passing of this child. Second abuse happens every where and does not happen to just children but to grown ups as well.
Thirdly if this person or any person put their hands on any one I know or knew they better give their soul to God because the undertaker would have them if not the hospital when I got finished or they wish they had never put their hands on any one to start with.
Vlad the Impaler also known as Dracula used to impale the criminals and he got so good at it that they would stay days on the pole without dying but just suffering. This man deserves nothing less than that. Death penalty would be too easy. Sick! No words. RIP little guy.
U know this is happening everyday. I hope and pray this tragedy, people will prevent this epidemic to stop. It has to stop now!!!! People need to be educated on child abuse. No child should ever be abuse. They cannot defend themselves. RIP baby boy.
I don't pray for anything or anyone. Though saddened ,justice will be served.
this is now a murder case for the shitty man who had beaten a two year old baby boy to a senseless death !
Please stop the awful comments. I hope a moderator is working this board. This is awful, to have his son beaten by some animal is disgusting and people are using this for other agendas. Please pray for all those involved. This is a lifetime burden for him and the mother. The circumstances have no bearing on the sadness this brings.
That scumbag better get used to the idea of getting raped in prison
He's got AP's genetics, I'm assuming the kid will be doing jumping jacks in a few minutes...hope he's alright
Who the F beats a 2 year old? And to the point where he is unresponsive?
kenman9696 should play in traffic.
Severe child abuse should be subject to the death penalty. Not jail. Execution.
AP is the last person I'd want mad at me. It's soon going to be a police matter for two reasons.
Adrian Peterson and black men in general should be more family oriented, HE should be "the man dating his son's mother"
@misindependent While I agree with much of what you say, I think we're probably all wrong to assume AP is grieving much at all. When a child is born, it has to bond with the parents, and that can't be done without the parents in attendance.
He never met the little tyke. He may grieve the idea of losing a son and the things that might have been. But he didn't know this child well enough to grieve him.
@RichardRuhling What the heck does that have to do with Adrian's son!!!! Do you really think Adrain gives two hoots about the war on Christianity right now his son was murdered and you just wan to talk about THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@RichardRuhling Congratulations on taking the opportunity to turn a horrible, incomprehensible tragedy into a completely unrelated political rant.
Nothing here even remotely relates to alcohol, drugs or religion. I feel sorry for you that you feel the need to turn this into something about you.
There is a place for your opinions but this isn't it.
@leehwgoc people handle situations in different ways that other people do not understand!!
@leehwgoc People deal with things differently, just cause he went back to practice doesn't make him a bad father, he could have dealt with this worse ways then he did, maybe this is what his son would have wanted, he is a Professional Football Player for god sakes, maybe that is the best way for him to deal with this, show the man a little respect and try to walk in his shoes, I will pray for you for saying such a thing, may God be with you!
@leehwgoc People grieve in different ways. Who are you to judge this man? Apparently he and the child's mother are no longer together, so unless she's asking him for his support his presence might be more bad than good.
I will support him doing whatever will help him through these difficult days, and if he feels that his "family" is the team then so be it. It appears that he values the love and support he receives from his teammates, and if so then that's a great place for him to work through his emotions. If playing will help him cope, then by all means let him play.
In the meantime, think whatever you like. Should your own child die I'd allow you to grieve in whatever way helps you. At least have the decency to allow him the same.
Tha's a racisit comment. This happens within all demographics. More so now than before!
@AhContraire You should think before you speak. Not everyone in the black community that is black have a million babies fathers or mothers. This goes on in other communities as well. Maybe not to the degree as the black community, but keep your racist comments to yourself and speak only of whats going on. A death of a two year old. Besides you think that your race does not have issues well there is a long and I mean extremely long pattern of things your race does so stop all the racist comments and stick to the story.
@AhContraire What a racist remark! Scroll back up to the photographs and tell me which black community the child's mother inhabits. More than likely this is one of the groupies that follow a professional team, trying to score a one-night stand, so they have something to crow about.
@RobertGabrielModiga I agree take him down south to the everglades tie him alive to a tree stump and let the Gators go to work on the man!!!
@PaulKelly Flag the comments as much as possible. That seems to be the only way to sanitize this place.
All kinds of men, actually. People are pretty awful.
And dollars to donuts the guy was drunk or something.
@0xfece5 Life in prison is usually a worse punishment. There is no humanity in places where people get life in jail. Trust me. Your life belongs to the guards.
@kenman9696 who are you to Judge a relationship? I am Married with 2 children my first born was with a man i was with for a long time but didn't work out! i met a man who became my husband. he treats his stepdaughter like his own child. he loves her, just because he did not live with his son and the babys Mother does not mean he does not care!
@kenman9696 I'm pretty sure he's married. If you had seen the Discovery special about the Steelers and Vikings in London, you would have known he skipped a team tour to hang with his family instead! Don't speak out of ignorance.
@kenman9696 How do you know it wasn't SHE who did not want to be "more family oriented"?
@kenman9696 are you kidding you idiot? Break ups happen, judges give custody to mothers. She has no obligation to stay where AP is. You're a moron and should be set on fire along with this kids abuser.
@kenman9696 Congratulations kenman, you've created a milestone. You are the first ever, brain dead retard to be able to type a coherent statement online. However, you can still tragically see that you have lost absolutely all brain cells.
@kenman9696 while I understand the point you're trying to make regarding issues in the black family, the dissolution of relationships is not only a "black man" issue. Relationships fall apart all the time in America and to racialize this issue would be inappropriate. The situation is unfortunate, let's not make polarizing comments that aren't accurate.
@kenman9696 That's the most ridiculous, stereotypical and racist statement. What is wrong with you? That's not even the issue at hand. Some relationships do not work out. That does not mean he isn't family oriented or doesn't care about his son. Don't be so ignorant.
@kenman9696 cause black men are the only people who have children with people and then dont stay with the family.
you give white people a bad name, I am ashamed for you.
@diffuser Not defending ken. However, I wouldn't use the married/family argument. AP is engaged and this would be a child he had outside of their relationship.
@AaronThigpen @kenman9696 Exactly. Kenman9696, with his oblivious racist-goggles on, doesn't even bother to consider the possibility that AP's ex-girlfriend is an ex to him of her own volition and motivation. And if that's the case, AP doesn't get a say in who she chooses to date and thus have around his son, and it's a given that the mother retains primary custody of the child.
@bella0calma @kenman9696 While kenman was very wrong, so are you for your use of the "R" word.
@chiefkeeshblog @kenman9696 Black 67%, White 25% don't let the numbers get in your way.

@Charles Richter III @leehwgoc @TheSconnieNation @diffuser No, what made this story possible was AP's ex-girlfriend having very irresponsible taste in men.
@Ryan16 @leehwgoc @TheSconnieNation @diffuser Divorce rates are recorded quite clearly in the US census, dude. It's a legal institution. Your post is nonsense.
@leehwgoc @TheSconnieNation @diffuser 85% of all statistics are made up
@leehwgoc @TheSconnieNation @diffuser Those aren't things to ignore, those are the underlying causes that made this story possible.
@TheSconnieNation @diffuser So? This is the 21st century. People don't get stoned in the village square any more for having children out of wedlock.
Besides, something like 9 in 10 marriages (seriously, the ratio is ridiculous) end in divorce these days anyway, so having children within wedlock ultimately just ends up a pointless formality 90% of the time.
@leehwgoc @AaronThigpen @kenman9696 why does any of this even matter? A child died. Period.

"The best"
The best cigar everGreg in Georgia February 27, 2014
Was not impressed - regardless of the high ratings...The taste was that of some cheap flavored cigar...Left a nasty aftertaste after each draw...Caused a funky cocoa odor in my humidor...Came in a 5 pack sampler - I tossed the other 4 in the trash.Freddy in December 26, 2013
"My favorite..... so far!"
Just started smoking cigars seriously about two months ago. Have tried about 20 different cigars from mild to full. Tabak Especial burns great, tastes great from start to finish, draws very easy and keeps it shape throughout the smoking. I love this cigar!Jeff H. in Wisconsin December 26, 2013
"Another home run from Drew Estate"
These smokes are simply delicious. Great anytime.Richard in Kansas July 28, 2013
I got my first one in a sampler, since then I've purchased more and will continue to do so. These are always in my Humidor.n. west in June 19, 2013
"Adult Candy!"
This stick was a real treat. Right off the bat the smoke smelled great. The draw was super smooth and wide open. With tastes of chocolate, coffee, and toasted marshmallow. All you need is to stick it between a couple graham crackers. The ragged foot is a bit odd at first look, but it really makes sense with the feathery smoke given off. The burn was even and slow. On an interesting side note this is the first cigar I've smoked and actually felt a buzz off of. If you like Drew Estate, coffee, or chocolate, don t miss out on this one. Just amazing!Vin M. in Denver, CO May 26, 2013
"Ahhh...The Tabak"
There is absolutely nothing I didn't enjoy about The Tabak except when it was gone.Robert in Kansas City, Kansas October 20, 2012
Great construction, sharp burn, tons of smoke with terrific smell and flavor. Perfect with your morning coffee.Billy in Tenkiller Lake August 26, 2012
I'm a fan of infused cigars. I've smoked a bunch of these and they're tasty. Definitely coffe %26 cocoa flavors. The last batch I bought, however, I had a couple or 3 tunnel on me about half way through. Tried cutting them %26 re-firing but to no avail.Terry in Pollock Pines July 6, 2012

As anticipation grows, fears about childbirth might become more persistent. How much will it hurt? How long will it last? How will I cope?
If you haven't done so already, consider taking childbirth classes. You'll learn what to expect — and meet other moms-to-be who share your excitement and concerns. Talk with women who've had positive birth experiences, and ask your health care provider about options for pain relief. Tell yourself that you'll simply do the best you can. There's no right or wrong way to have a baby.
The reality of parenthood might begin to sink in as well. You might feel anxious and overwhelmed, especially if this is your first baby. To stay calm, revel in the experience of being pregnant and think about the joy that will come from loving a new human being. Consider:
It's also helpful to plan ahead. If you'll be breast-feeding, gather any supplies you might need, such as a special pillow to use while breast-feeding and a breast pump. If you're expecting a boy — or you don't know your baby's sex — think about what's right for your family regarding circumcision. Consider who'll be your baby's principal health care provider. Make plans for your first few weeks together.
During the third trimester, your health care provider might ask you to come in for more frequent checkups — perhaps every other week beginning at week 32 and every week beginning at week 36.
Like previous visits, your health care provider will check your weight and blood pressure and ask about any signs or symptoms you're experiencing. You might need screening tests for various conditions, including:
Your health care provider will also check your baby's size and heart rate. Near the end of your pregnancy, vaginal exams can help your health care provider determine your baby's position inside your uterus. He or she might also check your cervix to see whether it's begun to soften or dilate in preparation for birth — although cervical exams aren't a reliable way to predict when labor will begin.
If you have specific desires or preferences for labor and birth — such as laboring in water or avoiding medication — you might want to define your wishes in a birth plan. Review the plan with your health care provider ahead of time to prevent any misunderstandings.
As your due date approaches, keep asking questions. How can I tell the difference between false labor and the real thing? When do I need to go to the hospital? Could I be too late for an epidural? Remember, there's no silly question. Understanding what's happening can help you have the most positive birth experience.

A common phrase among DSLR pros is that "everything looks good on the back of the camera LCD." While intended as a joke, the phrase really means that it's hard to judge aspects of your shot like critical focus, color, and exposure using the LCD on the back of a DSLR camera. As these LCDs are generally very small, it can also be difficult for on-set clients and team members (like a focus puller) to clearly see what the camera is actually shooting.
That's where field monitors come in. Over the past few years, lightweight field monitors offering flexible connectivity, high-resolution large screens, and extensive features have become more affordable. This week, we'll explore the benefits of using a field monitor, including

Located by the Opera house, so it was pretty close to a lot of sites. We walked to the Louvre very comfortably. The rooms were nice, & not as small as one often sees in Europe. They were nicely decorated, and the bathroom was very nice. We were in a room that faced the street, and it was VERY NOISY if you kept the windows open at night. There isn't any air conditioning, so if we closed the windows, it was very hot in the room. I thought the beds and linens were superb! The room was very clean, too. The breakfast that was included was really nice.They had a nice assortment of pastries, fruit, etc. Overall, I was pleased with the hotel. ... more

Excellent location near transportation. Clean and pleasant.Upon arrival we were offered an 20 Euro a day upgrade to the executive room. This included a Nespresso machine and free mini bar (only stocked with some drinks). We took the upgrade so this review applies to that kind of room. The room itself was fine. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was large and had nice amenities. The Nespresso machine was great and we really enjoyed having that first cup in our room. The mini bar had a few drinks and we used it a bit but I would not factor that into a decision to upgrade. Downsides (especially for a 4 star): The bathroom door did not lock or even latch properly. We did not ask them to remedy this as it did not bother us, but I thought this was something they would have taken care of. The clothes 'closet' was basically a fairly cheap looking open set of shelves and a bar for hanging clothes. The bar was mounted low so that my wife's dresses did not have enough ver... ... more

The location.
The hotel was next to a large construction project that literally shook the floor (4/6 days), did not have wash clothes, hotel itself had renovation projects going on, staff comes in room despite do not disturb sign, a/c was out of season.This simply was not a 4 star establishment. The location and front desk staff were nice, but that is where it ended. Not having wash clothes was a surprise. The construction noise was horrible. We moved to a new room to get away from the noise only to find out the hotel itself was doing renovation work, so sleeping in on this vacation was almost impossible. The cleaning staff would come into your room despite having the do not disturb sign on the door. Since the A/C was out of season, we had to open window which let several Mosquitos in.

The premiere of Alexander Payne's new movie "Nebraska" drew a prolonged and rousing standing ovation Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Reviews from key critics were strong, if occasionally qualified, positioning the movie as a possible Oscar contender next fall.
The Hollywood Reporter called "Nebraska" a "bittersweet father-son road trip through an emotionally (and) economically parched homeland" and said the movie's stars, Bruce Dern and Will Forte, "got a bevy of bravos for their performances" from the Cannes audience.
Walking the red carpet at the premiere were Cannes jury members Ang Lee and Nicole Kidman (prizes will be awarded Sunday), along with director Jane Campion, model Heidi Klum and actor Richard Dreyfuss. Actress Laura Dern, who starred in Payne's first movie, "Citizen Ruth," accompanied her father to the premiere.
Actresses June Squibb and Angela McEwan were also present, drawing raves for their character acting in "Nebraska."
Payne, an Omaha native, shot the movie mostly in small towns near Norfolk, Neb., last October and November. It's his sixth movie, and his fourth shot primarily in his home state.
Here are excerpts from commentary posted after the premiere:
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times: "Mr. Payne takes a bit too long to get the movie into gear, but eventually David (Forte) and Woody (Dern) end up in a Nebraska town where they endure a sometimes funny, sometimes painful reunion with relatives and old friends.
"Shooting in black and white that is as simple, unfussy and unbeautiful as the modest homes in the movie, Mr. Payne draws an emotionally vivid, insistently unsentimentalized portrait of America and forgotten men. ...
"Payne maintains an amused ironic distance from his characters that may feel as if he's condescending to them but is more truly an acknowledgment of life's absurdity."
Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times: "The impressive 'Nebraska' ... joins tart-tongued screwball comedy with unexpected poignancy and warmth to remarkable effect. Even more remarkable, given how good the script (by Bob Nelson) is, is the fact that Payne has been sitting on the project for nine years. ...
"(The movie) has some funny and pointed things to say about family, memory and getting old. ...
"Certain to make a strong impression is June Squibb, who plays Woody's wife, Kate, an acerbic, exasperated woman who never says anything nicer to anyone than 'You dumb cluck.'"
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter: "A strong sense of a vanishing past holds sway over an illusory future in 'Nebraska,' Alexander Payne's wryly poignant and potent comic drama about the bereft state of things in America's oft-vaunted heartland. Echoing the director's most recent film, 'The Descendants,' in its preoccupation with generational issues within families, how the smell of money contaminates the behavior of friends and relatives and the way Wasps hide and disclose secrets, this is nonetheless a more melancholy, less boisterous work."
Scott Foundas, Variety: "Just as 'The Last Picture Show' was a movie made in the 1970s about the end of '50s-era innocence, 'Nebraska' feels, despite its present-day setting, like a eulogy for a bygone America (and American Cinema), from the casting of New Hollywood fixtures Dern and Stacy Keach to its many windswept vistas of a vital agro-industrial heartland outsourced into irrelevance. ... Payne's sixth feature is another low-concept, finely-etched study of flawed characters stuck in life's well-worn grooves. ...
"Dern is simply marvelous in a role the director reportedly first offered to Gene Hackman, but which is all the richer for being played by someone who was never as big of a star. ... He conveys the full measure of a man who has fallen short of his own expectations."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: "The images — of highways and farms, of streets with shuttered stores, of tacky night-glowing bars and even tackier homes — are, I must say, breathtaking in a clean, spare way. If you're going to shoot a movie in black and white ... then you'd better believe this is the way to do it: by making the images look like Ansel Adams collaborated with Diane Arbus and Edward Hopper.
"Is Payne, working from a script by Bob Nelson, mocking these people? Or does he have affection for them? Well, both. And probably more affection than mockery. ...
"'Nebraska is a nice movie, and it goes through its paces in that patented Alexander Payne mode of acerbically touching homespun quirkiness. But at least a part of me is tempted to replace the word 'mode' with 'formula.'"
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian: "Their story is laced with pathos, comedy and regret, recalling the classic indie cinema of Hal Ashby and Bob Rafelson. It is shot with almost Amish austerity in monochrome, which gives a wintry, end-of-the-world drear to that homely roadside Americana that Payne loves to pick out with his camera. 'Nebraska' may not be startlingly new, and sometimes we can see the epiphanies looming up over the distant horizon; the tone is, moreover, lighter and more lenient than in earlier pictures like 'Sideways.' But it is always funny and smart."
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph: "Payne's film is a bittersweet elegy for the American extended family, shot in a crisp black and white that chimes neatly with the film's concern for times long past. ... This is a resounding return to form for Payne: There are moments that recall his earlier road movies 'About Schmidt' and 'Sideways,' but it has a wistful, shuffling, grizzly-bearish rhythm all of its own."
Eric Kohn, Indiewire: "Alexander Payne's movies walk a fine line between cruel satire and emotional truth, but in 'Nebraska,' it's particularly hard to discern which is which. The black-and-white road trip dramedy might be his least essential work, but it's also notably distinct from the rest of it. ... It's a sad, thoughtful depiction of Midwestern eccentrics regretting the past and growing bored of the present, ideas that Payne regards with gentle humor and pathos but also something of a shrug."

LAS VEGAS — Gov. Brian Sandoval announced Wednesday that he will lead a trade mission in September to China and South Korea. It will include representatives of Nevada businesses.
"The September trade mission to China and South Korea is expected to accelerate Nevada's economic development and diversification efforts by growing the market for our state's exports, while attracting investment in Nevada's promising target industries," Sandoval said in a press release. "The goal of the September trade mission to China and South Korea is to expand our state's global footprint."
Gov. Sandoval delivered his comments at the opening of the Skybridge Alternatives Conference at Bellagio, which is attended by 1,800 global business, public policy and investment decision makers.
Nevada firms sold $8 billion worth of goods overseas in 2011, with $1.3 billion worth of goods sold to Asian customers. The more than 5 million foreign travelers who visit southern Nevada spend in excess of $5.1 billion on goods and services, with Asian visitors driving.

Unfiltered CCD images obtained on April 29.074, April 29.101, and April 29.128 UT showed the supernova at magnitude 14.8. The exposures were made with a 0.26-m Schmidt Cassegrain telescope as part of the U.K. Nova/Supernova Patrol. No star was recorded down to magnitude 16.7 at the location of the supernova on a CCD frame taken by Armstrong on March 20.283 UT. A CCD frame taken by T. Boles, Wellingborough, England, in strong twilight on April 29.135 UT showed SN 1998bp at magnitude 14.7, as estimated by Hurst. The position provided by A. Sugie, Dynic Astronomical Observatory, Japan, and reported by S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, shows SN 1998bp located at: R.A. = 17h 54m 50.72s Decl. = +18degrees 19' 50.2" (equinox 2000.0) and about 1" west and 13" north of the nucleus of NGC 6495. Sugie's CCD frames taken on April 30.54 UT under poor conditions show SN 1998bp at V magnitude 14.9 - 15.1 (IAU Circular 6890). R. Kushida, Yatsugatake South Base Observatory, Japan, has also obtained a CCD image, taken with a 0.4-m reflector, which shows the supernova at V magnitude 15.0 on April 30.75 as reported by S. Nakano (IAU Circular 6892). Spectroscopic confirmation was obtained by F. Patat, European Southern Observatory, and M. Maia, Observatorio Nacional, Rio de Janeiro (IAU Circular 6890), using the ESO 1.5-m telescope (+ Boller & Chivens spectrograph) at La Silla, Chile. They report that full reduction of their CCD spectrogram taken on April 30.38 UT shows SN 1998bp to be consistant with a peculiar Type Ia supernova roughly around maximum light. A spectrum taken on April 30.4 UT by M. Calkins using the Whipple Observatory 1.5-m telescope (+ FAST spectrograph) and reported by S. Jha, P. Garnavich, P. Challis, and R. Kirshner, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (IAU Circular 6891), confirms SN 1998bp to be a Type Ia supernova near maximum light. Accompanying is an AAVSO 'e' scale Supernova Search Preliminary chart of NGC 6495, prepared by C. Scovil and showing the location of SN 1998bp. Please use this chart to observe the supernova, and report your observations of 1750+18 SN 1998bp to AAVSO Headquarters, making sure you indicate which comparison stars you used. Congratulations to Mark Armstrong on his most recent discovery! CHARTS AVAILABLE ON AAVSO FTP SITE Electronic copies of the AAVSO chart of SN 1998bp in NGC 6495 mentioned in this Alert Notice are available from our FTP site: ftp.aavso.org (184.108.40.206), in /pub/alerts/ alert248/ or ftp.aavso.org (126.96.36.199), in /pub/charts/her/sn1998bp/ The chart may also be accessed through our Web site at the following address: http://www.aavso.org The answering machine at AAVSO Headquarters is on nights and weekends for your convenience.

Faculty is opening its door
Even with the diversity of fields of knowledge, research topics or methods, everybody working for or studying on the Faculty of Science shares two common things: dedication to science and concern about faculty's prosperity and its development into a high quality and a modern science institution of world's highest standards. Whilst the first is actually happening by itself, the other thing needs to be properly taken care off. What plans does the faculty's Dean, prof. RNDr. Bohuslav Gas, CSc., for the future development of our faculty?

That's all we've got time for tonight folks, thanks for tuning in. Remember to keep an eye out for Chelsea v Copenhagen and Real Madrid v Lyon tomorrow night and, of course, the Champions League quarter-final draw on Friday.
In tonight's other game, Inter Milan have won an absolute cracker at the Allianz Arena. The reigning champions won 3-2, having been 2-1 down and they have beaten Bayern Munich just like they did in Madrid last May. Goran Pandev with Inter's winner.
Man Utd 2-1 Marseille. It's an 11th Champions League quarter-final for United, though they made it hard work for themselves. A poacher's brace from Chicharito sends them into the last eight. Wes Brown's own goal made the last ten minutes very interesting, but United held on and eagerly await the draw on Friday now.
It's all over...
Just seconds to go now at Old Trafford.

HALF-TIME. United 1-0 Marseille. What a fantastic European tie and there is everything still to play for in the second half. Chicharito's goal sends United through as things stand, but Marseille have looked more than capable of getting the single away goal they currently require to advance. An exciting second 45 awaits.
And there's the half-time whistle.
Cheyrou fouls Carrick, before Rafael fouls Cheyrou. Only the second one acknowledged by the referee though.

Cleared and now Giggs is on his own on the left. He plays it towards Hernandez, who is impeded by Taiwo.

Lucho to take it...
Deschamps' side have a free-kick now on the left wing, just near the penalty area. It's a dangerous position.
Marseille hold their lines well, though and they can advance now.

In tonight's other game, Eto'o has put Inter level with Bayern on aggregate, with the Italians winning 1-0 in Germany.

The players out on the pitch now, and there was a warm exchange between Gabriel Heinze and Ferguson in the tunnel. There love-in over the past few weeks has been a bit sickly at times!
Javier Hernandez starts up front for United - his only Champions League goal this year came in a 1-0 win in Valencia.
Just two weeks ago I was lucky enough to be at the Stade Velodrome watching the 0-0 draw in the first leg. It was a great night in terms of a Champions League matchday experience, though it was a pretty dire game of football. My not-so-complimentary thoughts on United's display can be found here.
Ferguson has just said that he "absolutely" plans to take the game to Marseille tonight, let's see if United's bite can match their manager's bark...
Marseille welcome back Andre-Pierre Gignac to spearhead their frontline and attempt to do what Dirk Kuyt managed against Brown and Smalling, while Benoit Cheyrou is also given a starting berth at Old Trafford.
Vidic is out for United so Chris Smalling and Wes Brown will be their central defensive partnership, while veteran duo Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes start in midfield, with Nani returning form injury and Chicharito continuing up front.
Hello and welcome to live text commentary of Manchester United's Champions League last-16 second leg against Marseille. I am Mark Lomas and I shall be taking you through tonight's action. Can Didier Deschamps' side become the first ever French club to win at Old Trafford?

Those are the ones. You are welcome.
Yessss!! And there are only 3 such planes, because for every two sets of sides we get the same plane.
I think Stefy means this.
So 4 + 3 = 7 such planes?
Nope! There are three more, one for each pair of midpoints of opposite edges of the tetrahedron.
Four would be my thinking too.
Bob, I think this is it, although I do not understand your second drawing.
Oh right. Sorry I misunderstood.
Just to clarify, I did not say that the plane must be vertical. I only clarified that the (vertical) distances of each vertex from this plane must be equal. Sorry for the confusion!
hi anna_gg
Hi Bob,
hi anna_gg
Yes, vertices
hi anna-gg
The question is to find a plane that "cuts" (passes through) the triangular pyramid and which has equal distance from all its apices.

Tactics Watch: Arsenal vs Tottenham
ESPNSTAR.com analyses the tactics behind Arsenal's 5-2 win over Tottenham in the north London derby.
By Kelvin YapFollow @@plevyakin
Andre Villas-Boas started both Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor together for the first time this season, playing a 4-4-2 formation with Tom Huddlestone and Sandro holding the midfield. Steven Caulker's injury from international duty meant that Jan Vertonghen was deployed in the middle along with William Gallas while Kyle Naughton took the left-back position that Vertonghen usually occupies.
Wojciech Szczesny made his return from injury to take his place in goal for Arsenal with a familiar back line in front of him - Thomas Vermaelen and Bacary Sagna played outside of Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker.
Arsene Wenger appeared to have found his preferred side with a central midfield trio of Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski out left and Theo Walcott on the right wing, leaving Olivier Giroud to lead the line.
Spurs' high line/ front two
Adebayor played a little behind Defoe in the front two, which meant that he dropped off to collect the ball and hold up play to bring more team-mates into the area. He was especially efficient when he dropped deep because the Arsenal players picking him up couldn't handle him physically. The ones who could do so - Koscielny, Mertesacker and Vermaelen - needed to stay behind to hold the defensive line.
He still played as a striker, though, which meant that he stayed up front mostly and didn't track back into midfield as much as an attacking midfielder like Dempsey or Sigurdsson would.
It's also interesting to observe that Tottenham's two strikers went up against defenders who contrasted their strengths. Defoe, who is speedy but lacked the physical power, went up against Mertesacker, who is physical but is easily beaten for pace. Adebayor, who is physical and not as speedy as Defoe, went up against Koscielny, who is faster but not as physical as Mertesacker.
With Sandro and Huddlestone holding the midfield, it left a huge gap between them and the strikers when Arsenal had the ball, effectively surrendering space around Arteta's area in shallow midfield.
Villas-Boas countered this by introducing the high defensive line - the very same one that got him into trouble back when he was in charge at Chelsea. It was a risky move, but it paid off because Arteta was averse to launching cross-field passes, which meant that Spurs had more chances of cutting the ball out on the ground simply because they had players in the same area.
In the end, this led to Spurs directing their attack down the channels on the flanks while Arsenal preferred to play down the middle to relieve the pressure and take time to build up their attack.
Tottenham's opening goal showed this - the high line enabled Vertonghen pushed up to send the ball - which was originally meant to be for Bale cutting in from the left - behind the Arsenal defence. Instead, Defoe showed great speed to turn Mertesacker out and create the chance that led to Adebayor's goal.
Adebayor's ruinous red card
The match was starting to shape up into an intriguing battle - Spurs were getting the ball upfield more efficiently because of their physical midfield literally pushing their way up while Arsenal started to get their act together and found the correct combinations down the flank.
However, Adebayor's rash and needless challenge on Cazorla got him sent off and sabotaged his team.
Without their regular outlet to hold the ball up and relieve the pressure, Spurs succumbed to sitting back and couldn't play out of their own half. It was from this pressure rather than a specific tactical strategy that helped Arsenal score three goals in the half.
Arsenal's inverted triangle
Credit must still be given for Wenger for introducing a more direct approach to Arsenal.
He has previously asked Cazorla and Wilshere to play in deep roles to try and build up play from there but it only led to Arsenal passing the ball around without creating a threat on goal.
This time, he switched things around by having only one holding midfielder in Arteta instead of having Wilshere partner him, making Arsenal's formation a 4-1-4-1 - much like the recent Manchester United that featured Wayne Rooney in midfield beside Tom Cleverley. It denied Arteta the option to pass the ball sideways, forcing him to build up play faster into the Spurs half to keep them under pressure.
This was also possible due to Tottenham's flat midfield which had to occupy themselves with their attacking midfielders instead of pushing on to pressure Arteta.
Because of the space behind the high defensive line, it was only natural that Arsenal directed their play towards their right flank, where they could make use of Walcott's speed to run at Naughton, who was the weakest link in the Tottenham defence and a natural choice for them to exploit. Mertesacker's goal came from the area and Giroud forced Lloris into two excellent saves after crosses from that flank.
AVB sticks to his principles
Villas-Boas became the fourth manager in the league to use a three-man defence this season when he brought on Clint Dempsey for Walker and Michael Dawson for Naughton at half time.
The move came when Spurs still had Lennon, Defoe, Bale and Walker in their side. Logically speaking, most managers would have sat back and sprung the counter-attack for goals using their speed on the break against the slower marginally slower (imagine Bale sprinting at Mertesacker!) Arsenal defence but Villas-Boas chose to play 'proper' football instead.
The switch to a 3-4-1-1 formation allowed Spurs to play like they normally do up front since it's very similar to their usual 4-2-3-1; the only difference was that their wingers came in from a deeper position and they had no full backs to overlap. This gave them a sense of familiarity as to who or where to play the ball to, which helped them move the ball up front to relieve the pressure from Arsenal that they had been under towards the end of the first half.
The down side of it was that Arsenal could easily play through balls down the flanks to drag the back three out of shape since they didn't get much help from their wingers. Although Dawson did cut out a few of the through balls floated in to Walcott, Arsenal managed to break through in that manner for Cazorla's goal.
In the end, Tottenham managed to pull a goal back via Bale. Again, it wasn't due to any particular piece of strategy but more of brilliance from Bale and a bit of naive defending from Mertesacker, who assumed that Bale would never use his right leg to shoot and showed him the inside of goal from the left flank. The Welshman did fire with his weaker foot and the ball sneaked in between Koscielny's legs into the goal.
Wenger's belated reaction
The obvious solution for Wenger to counter Villas-Boas' switch was to bring on more wingers to set up two-on-one situations on the flanks sinceTottenham's wingers were too far up the pitch to cover for their defenders.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andre Santos were shown to start warming up minutes after half-time in reaction to Tottenham's changes but the duo only made their appearances in the final ten minutes.
The change proved to be an effective one as Arsenal immediately enjoyed a spell of possession when Santos came on to put Tottenham under pressure again. The dominance eventually told against an exhausted Tottenham side when Oxlade-Chamberlain stole the ball from the defence to set up Walcott's goal late in the game.
Overall, it was shaping up to be an excellent derby until Adebayor's moment of madness. However, Villas-Boas' changes kept things interesting by making changes.
Villas-Boas deserved more credit than the scoreline suggests. The decision to start both Adebayor and Defoe looked to have paid off and Spurs had a decent chance of winning the match before Adebayor's antics sabotaged the match.
The Portuguese showed further bravery and intelligence to switch to a back three at half time in an attempt to salvage the situation instead of doing damage limitation many other managers would have done.
As for Arsenal, the more direct approach due to the inverted triangle midfield is an improvement from the previously-insipid midfield which proved to be effective against a flat four midfield. In this, Wenger may have discovered a potent weapon to use against most Premier League sides which utilise a 4-4-2 formation.
