Jeffrey Michael "Jeff" Brown (born February 13, 1976 in Niagara Falls, New York) is a former All-American defensive tackle for the Iowa State University football team. Although lightly recruited in high school (having only been offered three division 1-A scholarships) Brown dominated Big Eight Conference play in his freshman year at Iowa State. In 11 games Brown recorded a Big Eight freshman record of 9 sacks while garnering 41 tackles and three forced fumbles. Former Iowa State Coach Jim Walden described Brown as "the future of Cyclones football". On Saturday, November 12, 1994 in Iowa State's last home game on the season against the number one ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers Brown suffered a torn rotator cuff and a dislocated shoulder ending his football career. Despite the injury Brown was voted an consensus NCAA AP All-American. In 2000 Brown declined to attend a ceremony honoring all Cyclone All-Americans at the University in Ames, Iowa.

The University of Queensland Powerlifting and Weightlifting Club is a powerlifting and weightlifting club and was established in the early 1980's at the University of Queensland St Lucia campus in Brisbane through UQ Sport (http://www.uqsport.com.au/). When it was inially set up, the club occupied a shared space in the present location of the UQ Sport cardio room and then later relocated to a room in the lowest level of building 12. In 2007 the club moved to its present location in Acacia Park, St Lucia.

The club is managed by dedicated volunteers from the University of Queensland, lifters, coaches and referees involved in the sport.
UQPWC is open to the general public. Qualified strength and conditioning coaches and powerlifting coaches teach lifters to execute the squat, bench press and deadlift and to prepare for competition.

Terra: Formations is a cancelled video game formerly developed by Star Cave Studios and Cellien Studios that was scheduled to be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. The game combined elements of real-time strategy, first-person shooters and role-playing games, allowing players to select their preferred style of game play.
Gameplay
Terra: Formations would have allowed players to join the ranks of an elite military force with the objective of reshaping the environments of inhospitable worlds. They were also able to experience the evolution of a developing planet, and take command to become humanity's only hope for survival in an epic struggle for control of the solar system. Four character classes offer different insight to the chaotic world, each providing a unique blend of interaction and gameplay perspectives.
The Soldier faction allows for gameplay that players have come to expect from traditional FPS games. As a member of the Engineer class, the player becomes the key element in the development of the environment by constructing and repairing mankind's lifeline to the world. The Researcher class explores the evolution of the world to enhance society's tools and develop new technology. Finally, the player can opt to take command of the action from the perspective of the Commander class to bring order to an uncertain future, tying RTS elements into Terra: Formations.
Plot
The fictional setting of Terra: Formations takes place in the near-future. By the year 2157, mankind had depleted the resources of planet earth with his lust for power, technological advancements and greed. Ironically, the very machines that played a role in mankind's irrevocable position were the only chance of survival. After several years of uncertainty, hope was reborn with the efforts of the Global Military Alliance to terraform one of earth's celestial neighbours, Jupiter's moon Europa. It wasn't until the excavation of the satellite's icy crust that mankind learned the truth; he was not alone and something, somewhere, was waiting, watching, learning and preparing for battle.
