Oklahoma - not Texas - is headed to the Big 12 championship game with an inside track to the national title game by moving ahead of the Longhorns in the BCS standings Sunday.

And that's sure to !.eave many in Austin dismayed. The Big 12 had to use its fifth tiebreaker, best BCS rating, to determine which team will play North winner Missouri on Saturdav in Kansas City, Mo. • The Sooners ( 11-,1 ), who los.t to Texas 45-35 in October, barely edged the Longhorns. Oklahoma has a .935 1 BCS average. Texas' BCS average is .9223. So the Longhorns will be watching two teams they beat play for the conference title, rooting for Missouri. Oklahoma is second in the BCS standings behind unbeaten Alabama. Texas is third and Florida is fourth. The winner of th e Southeastern Conference champ ionship game between the Crimson tide and Gators is virtually guaranteed a spot in the BCS national title game on Jan. 8 in Miami. Oklahoma would earn the other spot by beating Mi,souri. If the Sooners lose. i1 could open the door for Texas to go to the national title game. despite not playing for its conference championship. If voters are squeamis·h about letting a team that didn't win its conference play for a national championship. maybe Southern Cahfornia ~:ould get a shot at the SEC champ in South . Florida.

Water in Venice has risen to its highest level in more than 20 years . leaving much of th'e Italian city under floods and forcing residents and tourists to wade through knee-high water. C1ty off1c1als say the sea level topped 61 mches on Monday, well past the 40 inch floo<fmark, with most streets submerged. Highest tide in 20 years floods historic ·Venice BY LUIGI COSTANTINI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER VENICE. Italy - Venice could use a bailout. The city built on water has too much of it. Residents and tourists waded through knee-deep water Monday as they navigated the city 's .narrow · streets ahd alleys, and its historic St. Mark 's Square was inundated. Boxes of tourist merchandise floated inside the flooded shops around the square and even .the city's famed pigeons sought refuge on rooftop~ and windowsills. One of the highest tides in its history brollght Venice to a virtual halt, rekindling a debate over a plan to build moveable flood barriers in an effort to save the lagoon city from high tides. City officials said thdide peaked at 61 inches ( 156 centimeters), well past the 40-inch ( 110-centimeter) flood mark, as strong winds pushed the sea into the city. Alarms went off at 6:37 a.m. to . alert citizens, but many residents were taken by surprise because authorities had initially not forecast such. a high water level. In St. Mark's Square, one of the city's lowest points , tp11rists tried to stay dry by hopping on cafe tables and chairs sticking out of the water. The water was so high that someone rowed a small speedboat across the wide square. " It was quire an extraordinary experience," said Michel Gorski, visiting from Brussels with his wife. "We got stuck in the hotel for half a day but we didn' t suffer. ,We were sorry for the restaurants and stores around, but there was no panic and everyone worked really hard to.clean up quickly." · Workers were unable to install the traditional raised wooden walkways used during flooding because the water rose so high the platforms would have floated away too. "There are very few streets that are water-free," admitted city spokesman Enzo Bon. In an ironic twist , the flooding also idled the city's water buses because their · boarding platforms · were underwater. Bon had no reports of damage to the city's architectural jewels, and the Culture· Ministry was monitoring the situation. · It was the fourth highest tide since 1872, 'when the city started keeping records. The last time Venice saw Venice Mayor Massimo such high waters was in Cacciari insisted the city's 1986, while the all-time experts had done a good job t;ecord was 76 inches ( 194 and had revised their forecentimeters) in 1966. casts well before the water That . flood forced 3,000 came in.

Wall Street convulsed at the news - and a fresh batch of bad economic reports - tanking nearly 680 points. W1th the econo!l'lic pain likely to stretch well into 2009, Federal . Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday he stands ready to lower interest rates yet again and to explore other rescue or revival measures. Rushing in reinforce'ments, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who along with Bernanke has been leading the government's efforts to stem the worst financial cri~is since the 1930s, pledged to take all the steps he can in the waning days of the Bush administration to .provide relief. Specifically, Paulson is eyeing more ways to tap into a $700 billion financial bailout pool. · On Capitol Hill , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .

President George.W, Bush, in an interview with ABC's · "W.orld Ne.w~ ," , cxp.ressed remorse about lost jobs, cracked nest eggs and other damage wrought by the financial crisis. "I'm sorrr, it's happening, of course, ' said Bush. The president said he'd back more government intervention. None of the pledges for more action could comfon Wall Street investors. The Dow Jones industrials plunged 679.95 points, or 7.70 percent, to close at 8,149.09. 1t was another whiteknuckle day, punctuated by ~rim econom1c reports. An mdex of manufacturing activity sank to a reading of 36.2 in November, a 26year 'low, the Institute for Supply Management reported . Construction spending .fell by a larger than expected 1.2 percent in October, the Commerce Department said. Adding to the gloom. the National Bureau of Economic Research, · a group of academic econo' mists, concluded Monday that the country has ,been suffering through .a: recession since December 2007.

Watching customers' appetite~ wane , employers have throttled back on hir· ing. The unemployment rate in October zoomed to 6.5 percent, a 14-year high .. So far this year, 1.2 million · positions have disappeared. The jobless rate is likely to climb to 8 percent or higher next year. Against that backdrop, many economists believe the current recession will be the worst since the 1981-82 downturn . To help ease the pain. Bernanke said additional interest-rate cuts are "certainly feasible," but he warned there are limits to how much such action would revive the economy, which is likely to stay mired in weakness well into next year. The Fed's key interest rate now stands at 1 percent, a level seen only once before in the. past half-century, and many economisiS predict Bernanke and his colleagues will drop the rate again at their next. meeting onDec.l5 -16. The Fed can lower its key rate only so far - to zero and it's getting ever closer. Given that . constraint. Bernanke said there are other ways to bolster economic activity. The Fed , for instance, could buy longer-term .Treasury or agency securities ·on the open market in substantial quantities. he said. This might lower rates on these securities, "th\ls helping to spur aggregate demand," Bernanke said. Because the Fed can go only so low in reducing interest rates , the central bank over the past year has resoned to a flurry of other radical aM often unprecedented actions with the hope of busting through credit jams and getting financial markets operating more normally. The bracing impact of the Fed's aggressive rate reductions, however, has been somewhat stymied hy the credit and financial crises, Bernanke said. Despite lower borrowing costs, skittish banks have been reluctant to lend money to people and businesses, a vicious cycle that has seriously hobt bled the U.S . economy.

Players are wondering how many of them are going to be gone in a few months, the fallout from another abysmal season. The Cincinnati Bengals are inching their way toward one of the worst finishes in their tonured history. A 34-3 embarrassment agairist the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday dropped the Bengals to 1-10-.1. the second-worst record in the NFL. Only the 0-12 Detroit Lions are worse at this point, with a much tougher sched- ule that makes it unlikely the Bengals could fall past them . The low mark in franchi se history was a 2-14 fini sh in 2002 that got Dick LeBeau fired and prompted the Bengals to make a bold move and look outside the organization for its next coach. In Marvin Lewi s' sixth season , they ' ve come full -circle. Lewis has two years left on his contract, so he's safe unless he tries to wrest more control of the organization from owner Mike Brown after the season. But a lot of changes are expected, particularly on an offense that sets a new low virtually each week .

"I'm committed to riding for the best guy," Armstrong said Monday, acknowledging . the taxing schedule could leave him riding in a supporting role in France. The Giro runs May 9-31, and the Tour begins July 4. With such a quick tumaround between two grueling races, the seven-time Tour champion acknowledged his body might not perform at the same level it did when he won his last Tour in 2005.

ARLO&JANIS �Paxe 86 • The Daily Sentinel Tuesday, December 2, :ioo8 www.mydailysentinel.com Giants' WR Burress appears in handcuffs, posts $100,000 bail NEW YORK {AP) Taken to court in handcuffs , Plaxico Burress posted . $1 00.000 bail on weapons possession charges Monday as the frenzy grew around the Giants star receiver who accidentally shot himself in a nightclub. Authorities said teammate Antonio Pierce was being investigated over his role in the 111eekend shooting . while the Super Bowl-champion Giants weren't sure what action they would take , if any, against Burress. The NFL said it was monitoring developments . Mayor Michael Bloomberg . also weighed in, saying it would be an outrage "if we didn't . prosecute to the fullest extent of the law." Burress shot himself in the right thigh in the VIP section of the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan about I a.m. Saturday, police ·said. He did not have a permit to carry a .handgun in New York. . A witness reported hearing a popping sound before Burress'legs began to shake, according to a criminal complaint. It said the person saw a bloody pistol fall out of his pant leg and land on the floor before Burress said "Take me to a hospital." It's believed Pierce took Burress to a car and then left with him, according to police. Burress wa&treated at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill . Cornell Medical Center and released later Saturday. Burress was ,barged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, which could result in a prison sentence of 3 1/2 years to 15 years if he is convicted. He was not required to enter a plea Monday and is due back in court on March 31. Burress did not say anything in court. "He is standing tall. He is a mature adult," said Benjamin Brafman, his defense lawyer. "I think any professional ath· Jete in this situation would be concerned." He said Burress is feeling OK. "If they let him play, he will be able to play. ... I think he will be a superstar for the rest of his career." Originally. police had said that running back · Derrick Ward . was witli Burress and Pierce at the club, relying on infoTnlation given (o them from security guards at the bar. But police said later that it was unclear if Ward was at the club, and the running back denied that he was. The Giants have not decided what to do with Burress, who was suspended for a game and fined earlier this season for missing a team meeting in September. New York could either suspend him again or deactivate him for Sunday's game at home against the Eagles. The~e are more extreme actions, such as releasing Burress, but that could put a strain on the team's salary cap next se.ason. "We're dealing with that," coach Tom Coughlin said in a conference call Monday. 'Today we had some discus- sions and those discussions will be ( ngoing." Coughlin would not speculate what the team would do if Burress showed up for practice Wednesday. Police have looked at security video from the club and hospital and determined that Burress amved at I:20 a.m. and left at I :50 a.m. He anived arthe hospital at 2:04 a.m. and went home II hours later. The shooting occurred as Burress somehow fumbled his gun - .40-caliber Glock - in the VIP section and it discharged, hitting his leg. Pierce was with Burress when that occurred, police said. The weapon was eventually recovered at Burress' house in New Jersey,!!-uthorities said. Police · expressed frustralion with the NFL and Giants officials.• saying they were promised that Pierce would appear at a police precinct Monday where Burress went before heading to court. But Pierce didn't show. Detectives also went to Pierce's house in New Jersey and he was not there. Police said the Giants did send a member of.their medical staff to the precinct who may .be able to shed some light on what transpired the night of the shooting, and presumably to relay Pierce's version of events. "It was a universe of silence after this shooting," ·said Paul Browne, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for public information. Pierce declined to provide specifics about the incident Monday durinjl a radio interview, but sa1d that many facts of the case have been "misconstrued" and "distorted." He has hired an attorney but that he doesn't see hititself being arrested, he said. "Today has been a headache and that's about all Ican say;' lie told WFAN. The Gi~nts released a statement disputing . the police version of their mvolvement. "We are working closely with th~: police and NFL Security," it said. "In the early hours of Saturday morning, as we started to get a sense of what we were dealing with, we did, in fact, notify NFL Security, which then contacted the police." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also said in a statement the league was cooperating. "In addition, it will be reviewed under our league policies," he said.
