The contract is recommended to be awarded to the lowest bidder, Walsh Construction Co. of Chicago, a heavy construction contractor whose unit handling the project is based in Walnut Creek, Calif. The ACE Construction Authority's largest single undertaking, the trench project will create almost 9,000 jobs over nearly five years of construction.
"This contract award represents a historic step toward eliminating emissions and congestion from idling vehicles blocked by passing trains, train noise and collision hazards at all four crossings in the city of San Gabriel," said ACE Board Chairman David Gutierrez, a city of San Gabriel Councilman.
"In addition to reducing congestion and improving air quality, this vital project is an important link in our regional strategy of moving cargo containers by train rather than in diesel trucks on our freeways," said Los Angeles County Supervisor, ACE Board Member and current MTA Board Chairman Michael Antonovich.
All six construction bids received in late June for the San Gabriel Trench grade separation project were below the ACE engineer's estimate of $266.8 million.
Construction of the project is funded from Prop 1B transportation bonds approved by California voters in 2006, with other project elements funded by MTA Measure R and other local and federal funds. The 2.2-mile project will result in the lowering of Union Pacific railroad track in a 65-foot-wide, 30-foot-deep, 1.4 mile-long trench through the city of San Gabriel.
The ACE program of 22 grade separations and safety improvements at 39 crossings in the San Gabriel Valley was initiated in 1998 along the ACE Trade Corridor, which accommodates 60 percent of the trade from the San Pedro Bay ports.

ROCKFORD — Delroy Russell Jr. just wants to win football games.
And while he is not accomplishing his No. 1 goal on the 0-6 Rockford University football team this season, the record-setting receiver is certainly doing everything in his power.
Russell and the Regents travel to Maranatha on Saturday for perhaps their last and best shot at a win this season, and he heads in as the new all-time Rockford record-holder for the most receiving yards in a season at 808. That total has him No. 4 in the nation in Div. III.
But being great on a winless team was not what Russell was aiming for.
"I'd rather win games than rack up big numbers, any day," he said. "It helps to ease the pain a little bit, but it's really tough.
"Last year, this year, it's been hard, but we don't stop. I'm going to keep putting up big numbers and try and help get us a win."
Last year, as Rockford snapped a two-year winless skid by grabbing a pair of victories, the Laney Junior College (Oakland, Calif.) transfer was quiet. In 10 games Russell caught 13 passes for 352 yards and two touchdowns, and he carried the ball twice for 44 yards. He hauled in an 82-yard touchdown pass in Week 2 at Loras, briefly showing off his breakaway skills, but for the most part he was a small piece to the big puzzle.
This year, he's turned into the fuel that powers the entire offense.
"We go into every week thinking we've just got to find ways to get Delroy the ball," Rockford's second-year head coach Vic Wallace said. "We've got other guys we want to get involved, too, but Delroy has to ... has to ... get his. He's set some records here so far, and there'll be more. We'll use him as much as we can the rest of the way out."
This year Russell, who attended Albany (Calif.) High School, is averaging a school record 23.8 yards per catch and 134.7 receiving yards per game (which is also No. 4 in the nation).
On Oct. 5, Russell and the Regents fell behind to Corcordia-Chicago early, forcing Wallace's hand, and bringing Russell's game to the forefront. Quarterback Aabed Nekrawesh had a career-high 435 yards passing that day, and Russell had a school-record 247 receiving yards, coming on just six catches.
Russell's school record-setting 93-yard touchdown catch kicked off the game, and his 46-yard TD reception late in the first half tied the game at 14-all. But Concordia rattled off 24 unanswered points to start the second half, and Rockford's losing skid continued.
Then, Russell accounted for 93 yards on just four catches during a 30-13 loss to Benedictine last weekend, and he soared into first place on the all-time, single-season, receiving-yards list.
He also turned a short pass into a 70-yard touchdown on Sept. 14 in Rockford's closest loss of the season, a 44-33 home-opening defeat to Loras, and the criminal justice and business major who expects to graduate this summer, has been the team's go-to guy on short yardage plays as well as the big-threat weapon.
Still, nothing he's done has gotten the Regents on the winning track. That's the part that stands out the most to him.
"We're hungry; we're all so hungry for a win right now it's not even funny," said Russell, who also averages just over 32 yards as the Regents' punter. "For guys like me, we're figuring we probably only have four or so games left in our careers. I don't want to go out this way.
"We take every game the same nowadays. When you're 0-and-whatever, it doesn't matter who you're playing, you just know you have to do everything you can to get that win.
"We just keep trying our best, and believing that it'll come."

Spanish helmer Roberto Santiago burst onto the cinematic scene in 2000 with the acclaimed short piece Roulette. He follows it up five years later with the highly-anticipated debut feature The Longest Penalty in the World.
This raucous comedy unfolds in a local soccer square-off between two Spanish teams. A goalkeeper is injured, another defense man is brought in as a substitute, and a last-minute crowd interference due to the player substitution causes a week-long delay in the wrap-up of the match.
The gawky and geeky alternate player, Fernando (Fernando Tejero), finds himself riding the crest of popularity in his town over the course of that week, which includes dating Cecilia (Marta Larralde), the paramour of the injured defense man, and becomes the unlikeliest hero in the town while the game is suspended, with royal treatment from the rest of the locals.
María Botto and Carlos Kaniowsky co-star.

Florida's coastal counties contribute about 79 percent of the state's economic productivity, the council states in its latest report, released today. Of Florida's 20 major population centers, 15 are located in coastal counties around a bay, estuary or at the mouth of a river that flows into the ocean.
All these figures and many more are contained in "Florida's Ocean and Coastal Economies Report, Phase II," released Wednesday which details information about the many ocean activities that affect Florida's economy, such as real estate values and marine research and education.
In fact, in 2007, marine research and education, which was measured for the first time, had annual budget of $272.5 million and produced $154 million in annual wages.
"Anything affecting coastal tourism, recreation and marine transportation has a huge impact on Florida's ocean economy," said economist and member of the council, Dr. James Cato.
"These sectors of economic activity represent 88 percent of Florida's ocean economy, making them very important," said Dr. Cato, who serves as senior associate dean and director of the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Florida.

Prepared by the National Oceans Economic Program for the Florida Oceans and Coastal Council, the report was funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
A team led by principal investigator Judith Kildow of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute prepared the report. The team included researchers from the University of Maine, Florida Atlantic University, and University of Florida-Gainesville.
"Florida's economy has been strongly tied to the oceans through tourism and recreation for decades," the report states. "Yet, there are many facets of its economy that are also dependent on its long and lovely coastline, but don't get reported in any single document or coherent report. That is the purpose of this effort."
The details are revealing. For instance, the Florida commercial fishing industry has declined since 1990, while the recreational fishery has grown.
Commercial saltwater landings generated $143 million in inflation-adjusted dockside sales in 2007, compared to $247.5 million in 1990.
Annual commercial saltwater landings declined 66 percent by weight and 56 percent in constant value between 1990 and 2007.
Commercial vessel registrations declined 13.3 percent from 1990 to 2007, while pleasure craft registrations increased by 11 percent.
In 2006, over two million saltwater anglers contributed $3 billion in retail sales with over 180 million fish landed, making Florida the number one recreational fishing state in the United States.
Florida's 14 deepwater seaports managed 121 million tons of cargo, generating an overall economic contribution of $73 billion.
Coastal state parks are also lucrative. In Fiscal Year 2007, the Florida system of state parks provided a direct economic impact of over $936 million to local economies.
For every 1,000 people visiting a state park, the total direct economic impact exceeded $43,200.
"Florida's ocean economy ranks second in the nation after California, further highlighting the need to protect our ocean and coastal resources," said Bob Ballard, the deputy secretary for land and recreation with the Department of Environmental Protection, who serves as an ex-officio member of the council.
"Protecting our sensitive coastal areas is not an easy undertaking," Ballard said, "but capturing this important information helps government officials and Florida researchers prioritize the best ways to succeed."

THE rise in binge drinking in the young is a "fashion phenomenon" where drinkers are copying their associates' behaviour, new research has shown.
A study conducted at Durham University's Institute of Advanced Study and Volterra Consulting UK shows that social networking is a key factor in the spread of the rapid consumption of large amounts of alcohol binge drinking - which is blamed for serious anti-social and criminal behaviour.
Researchers say the findings have major implications for Government policy makers charged with tackling the problem, which has longer-term and costly health implications for the nation.
The research team, which estimates there are least one million binge drinkers in the 18-24 year old population participating in 1.5 million binge drinking events each week, used complex modelling techniques and interviews with 504 18-24 year olds to draw their conclusions.
Binge drinkers were defined as participants who got drunk on three or more drinks (women) or on four or more drinks (men) at least once a week, or having ten or more drinks but not necessarily getting drunk at least once a week (both men and women). Using this criteria, nearly one-fifth (16.2 per cent) of the young people surveyed were classed as binge drinkers.
Everyone in the survey was asked whether about the drinking behaviour of their friends, family and colleagues. Binge drinkers were more likely to describe their associates, particularly their friends, as fellow binge drinkers.
For example, 85 per cent of the binge drinkers thought that all, almost all or most of their friends are binge drinkers, compared to 41 per cent of non-binge drinkers who described all, almost all or most of their friends as binge drinkers.
Conversely, only three per cent of binge drinkers had no or hardly any friends that binge drank, compared to 22 per cent of non binge drinkers
The second part of the research set out to test whether 'imitation behaviour' or copying was sufficient to account for the binge drinking through applying a series of models.
It found that the 'small world' model, showing the interaction between overlapping friendship groups, best explained the statistics for the first part of the research. This suggests complex social networking and the behaviour exhibited through this is the root cause of binge drinking.
Researchers say these findings pose challenges for policy makers in terms of identifying where and at whom to target their policies - they would need to tap into a series of complex friendship networks for their efforts to have any effect. However, if they could achieve this, triggering a reverse in binge drinking behaviour, the effect would be quite dramatic.
The research is published online via an open access website http://arxiv.org/ (which is authored refereed before posting).
Lead author, Paul Ormerod, of Durham University's Institute of Advanced Study and Volterra Consulting UK, said: "Binge drinking has become widespread among young people in Britain. Vomiting, collapsing in the street, shouting and chanting loudly, intimidating passers-by and fighting are now regular night-time features of many British towns and cities.
"A particularly disturbing aspect is the huge rise in drunken and anti-social behaviour amongst young females.
"We show that the rise in binge drinking is a fashion-related phenomenon, with imitative behaviour spreading across social networks, is sufficient to account for observed patterns of binge drinking behaviour.
"This discovery is helpful to policy makers as it suggests, for example, that strategies based on the concept that there is a small number of 'influentials' who are important in the spread of anti-social behaviour are not likely to be very successful."

Sense & Meaning: A Second Order Analysis of Language
What we know through language is whether the way things are or the ways the things are constructed through anthropological tradition and socio cultural shaping. Actually at the very outset, it is not very clear the settling point of this query. However, we can very well understand the point why a critical understanding of Bio-semanticism which is in some ways constructed and affected by the anthropological and socio cultural developments. What we are trying in this paper is to develop a notion of language psyche. What we mean by this term is the way a speaker is a communicator, who has a history belonging to a certain kind of anthropological character traits as well as socio cultural upbringing, having a certain kind of psychological mental states. The psychological mental states that naturally develop a linguistic psyche are actually constructed. Further when a speaker or a communicator performs a speech act s/he is having a private linguistic affair what we call linguistic experience. Language psyche and its natural outcome linguistic experience are the two very crucial concepts that need to be critically assessed.

Louisiana's Unfilled Jobs Require Experience, Education
Shreveport Times

Louisiana continues to outperform the South as the country's economic recovery remains in doubt, but many jobs in the state requiring experience and higher education remain unfilled.
With the South's lowest unemployment rate — 7.6 percent at the end of July — and what many economic advisors see as a newly adopted pro-business attitude, Louisiana has weathered the nationwide fiscal meltdown better than many other states, but competition for jobs remains stiff.
Competition for the available jobs in Louisiana has allowed employers to be pickier, according to Jacques Lasseigne, director of field operations for the Louisiana Workforce Commission in Shreveport. Many of those jobs aren't what people are looking for and either pay too little or are in a foreign line of work, he said.
But some industries are hurting for labor, Lasseigne said, and trying to fill those vacancies might be an indicator of recovery. Truck drivers, industrial mechanics and almost anyone with medical training are now in demand, he said.
"Trucking reacts to the economy first. If no one is making orders, trucking is the first business to see that hit," said Bruce Busada, president of Louisiana's Diesel Driving Academy. "A truck touches everything."
Busada said companies are hiring truckers because the economy has picked up some. Much of the trucking labor pool is near retirement, he said, and there are fewer people trying to get into the industry. Wages are up and demand for drivers has rarely been higher, he said.
Within the first month at the Diesel Driving Academy, Busada said students usually see two or three companies talking to them about potential jobs.
Kristen Gary, spokeswoman for Christus Shumpert Health Systems, said it is trying to fill vacancies across the board from professional disciplines to support services. Gary said experience and education are essential, but to what point they are requirements depends on the specific job.
Statewide Report
Kurt Foreman, president of the North Louisiana Economic Partnership, attributed Louisiana's ability to hold against poor economic tides in part to a pro-business environment developed by local, state and business leadership as well as the elimination of noncompetitive taxes... Continue Reading...

Christ (Death of)
If Socrates died like a sage, Jesus died like a God.
The death of the Son of God is a single and most perfect sacrifice and satisfaction for sins; of infinite value and price, abundantly sufficient to expiate the sins of the whole world.
Synod of Dort.
He was Himself forsaken that none of His children might ever need to utter His cry of loneliness.
J. H. Vincent.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins.
The sufferings and death of Jesus Christ are a substitution for the endless punishment of all who truly believe on Him.
When Jesus knew that it was not possible for the cup to pass from Him, with love to God He held it fast, and with love to man He drank it all.
Alexander Dickson.
In this awfully stupendous manner, at which Reason stands aghast, and Faith herself is half confounded, was the grace of God to man at length manifested.
Richard Hurd.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free.
Julia Ward Howe.
The whole history of Israel, its ritual and its government, is explicable only as it is typical of the spiritual Israel, of the sacrifice on Cavalry, of the precious blood which alone can wash away sin.
A. E. Kittredge.
My friends, there is one spot on earth where the fear of death, of sin, and of judgment need never trouble us, the only safe spot on earth where the sinner can standCalvary.
D. L. Moody.
I have always considered the atonement to be characteristic of the Gospel as a system of religion. Strip it of that doctrine, and you reduce it to a scheme of morality, excellent indeed, and such as the world never before saw; but to man in the present state of his faculties, absolutely impracticable.
Thomas, Earl of Kinnoul.
Christs sacrifice stands in glorious proportions with the work to be done. Nothing else or less would suffice. It is a work supernatural, transacted in the plane of nature; and what but such a work could restore the broken order of the soul under evil?
Horace Bushnell.
Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them to the end. Often had they been faithless; and now, while addressing them, He knows that they will all in a few hours forsake Him. Yet He trusts them; He commits His cause to their keeping. And we must love as He loved.
Richard Fuller.
O, let us understand that the power of Christianity lies not in a hazy indefiniteness, not in shadowy forms, not so much even in definite truths and doctrines, but in the truth and the doctrine. There is but one Christ crucified. All the gathered might of the infinite God is in that word.
Herrick Johnson.
Other men have said, If I could only live, I would establish and perpetuate an empire. This Christ of Galilee says, My death shall do it. Other martyrs have died in simple fidelity to truth. This martyr dies that He may make His truth mighty over all hearts. He was a man: but was He only a man?
Herrick Johnson.
In agony unknown He bleeds away His life; in terrible throes He exhausts His soul. Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani? And then see! they pierce His side, and forthwith runneth out blood and water! This is the shedding of blood, the terrible pouring out of blood, without which, for you and the whole human race, there is no remission.
C. H. Spurgeon.
It was in His parting sorrowthat Jesus asked His disciples to remember Him; and never was entreaty of affection answered so; for ever since has His name been breathed in morning and evening prayers that none can count, and has brought down some gift of sanctity and peace on the anguish of bereavement, and the remorse of sin.
James Martineau.
Gods beloved Son, leaving the echoes of His cries upon the mountains and the traces of His weary feet upon the streets, shedding His tears over the tombs and His blood upon Golgotha, associating His life with our homes, and His corpse with our sepulchres, shows us how we, too, may be sons in the humblest vale of life, and sure of sympathy in heaven amid the deepest wrongs and sorrows of earth.
Edward Thomson.
As we look upon that agony and those tearful prayers, let us not only look with thankfulness; but let that kneeling Saviour teach us that in prayer alone can we be forearmed against our lesser sorrows; that strength to bear flows into the heart that is opened in supplication; and that a sorrow which we are made able to endure is more truly conquered than a sorrow which we avoid.
Alexander Maclaren.
It was not until Jesus had cried, It is finished, and from His riven side the soldiers spear had fetched the blood and water; it was not till then that the fountain sealed of Incarnate Love became the fountain opened of Redeeming merit, and that the Siloah began to flow, which ever since has flowed adown the oracles of God.
James Hamilton.
But now, the sounds of infancy, always nearest the heart, and sure to come to the lips in our deepest emotion, returned in His anguish; and in words which He had learned at His mothers knee, His heart uttered its last wailEloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani? My God! My God! why hast Thou forsaken me?
J. Cunningham Geikie.
Grant, O Lord, that as we are baptized into the death of Thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by continual mortifying our corrupt affections, we may be buried with Him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for His merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer.
The study of everything that stands connected with the death of Christ, whether it be in the types of the ceremonial law, the predictions of the prophets, the narratives of the gospels, the doctrines of the epistles, or the sublime vision of the Apocalypse, this is the food of the soul, the manna from heaven, the bread of life. This is meat indeed and drink indeed.
John Angel James.
A moment more, and all was over. The cloud had passed as suddenly as it rose. Far and wide, over the vanquished throngs of His enemies, with a loud voice, as if uttering His shout of eternal victory before entering into His glory, He cried, It is finished! Then, more gently, came the words, Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit. A moment more, and there arose a great cry, as of mortal agony; the head fell. He was dead.
J. Cunningham Geikie.
All other great men are valued for their lives; He, above ail, for His death, around which mercy and truth, righteousness and peace, God and man are reconciled; for the cross is the magnet which sends the electric current through the telegraph between earth and heaven, and makes both Testaments thrill, through the ages of the past and future, with living, harmonious, and saving truth.
Edward Thomson.
The world cannot bury Christ. The earth is not deep enough for His tomb, the clouds are not wide enough for His winding-sheet; He ascends into the heavens, but the heavens cannot contain Him. He still livesin the church which burns unconsumed with His love; in the truth that reflects His image; in the hearts which burn as He talks with them by the way.
Edward Thomson.
By Thine hour of dire despair;
By Thine agony of prayer;
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
Oer the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn Litany.
Sir Robert Grant.
He was alone; alone, enduring the curse for us; alone, bearing our sins in His own body on the tree, and exhausting the fierceness of eternal justice; alone, without succor from man; alone, without one strengthening whisper from angel; above all, alone, without one ray from His Fathers countenance. And that expiring cry, My God! My God! why hast Thou forsaken me? was the bitter, dreary, dismal, piercing wail of a soul utterly desertedwrapped, shrouded in essential unmitigated desolation.
Richard Fuller.
I entreat you to devote one solemn hour of thought to a crucified Savioura Saviour expiring in the bitterest agony. Think of the cross, the nails, the open wounds, the anguish of His soul. Think how the Son of God became a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, that you might live forever. Think as you lie down upon your bed to rest, how your Saviour was lifted up from the earth to die. Think amid your plans and anticipations of future gaiety what the redemption of your soul has cost, and how the dying Saviour would wish you to act. His wounds plead that you will live for better things.
Albert Barnes.
He planted His cross in the midst of the mad and roaring current of selfishness, aggravated to malignity, and uttered from it the mighty cry, of expiring love. And the waters heard Him, and from that moment they began to be refluent about His cross. From that moment, a current deeper and broader and mightier began to set heavenward; and it will continue to be deeper and broader and mightier till its glad waters shall encompass the earth, and toss themselves as the ocean. And not alone did earth hear the cry. It pierced the regions of immensity. Heaven heard it, and hell heard it, and the remotest star shall hear it, testifying to the love of God in His unspeakable gift, and to the supremacy of that blessedness of giving which could be reached only through deaththe death of the cross.
Mark Hopkins.
When the Father would give men the light of the knowledge of His glory, how does He proceed? To what does He turn mens gaze? Not to His mighty works; not to creative or providential wonders; not to geological or astronomical facts; not to the data on which Paley and Bell and other admirable writers build up their argument from design; not to the still greater wonder of mind, but to the face of Jesus Christ, that face that was more marred than any mans; that endured the ruffian blows; down which the blood drops trickled; that looked down on a mocking crowd from an ignominious cross.

Something Sensible is a mission for Franklin Clinton started by Franklin Clinton from the living room in his house in Vinewood Hills, Los Santos. It is one of three choices for the final mission alongside The Time's Come and The Third Way.

Franklin, at his house in Vinewood Hills, is visited by Devin Weston reminding him of his request to kill Michael De Santa. Once Weston leaves the player is given the choice to kill Trevor, to kill Michael or to save both. The first choice triggers Something Sensible.
Franklin phones Trevor and asks to meet him somewhere quiet to talk with Trevor suggesting the empty lots in El Burro Heights. While making his way to El Burro Heights, Franklin phones Michael De Santa and informs him of his plans to kill Trevor. He tells Michael of Devin Weston's request to kill him and asks for help in killing Trevor. Michael, however, promises nothing only that he'll 'see what I can do'. Franklin arrives at the meeting point and shortly afterwards so does Trevor.
Trevor informs Franklin he knows why he asked to meet and explains his belief that Franklin, having acted as a peacemaker between the two in the past, wanted to end their rivalry following their heist at the Union Depository. Franklin then pulls a gun on Trevor and informs him, while he likes him, he's likely to get Franklin, Michael and himself killed. Trevor protests that he has been straight with Franklin when they've worked together. Franklin responds by saying the truth isn't what he's interested in, at which point Trevor speeds off in his pickup. While leaving the scene he calls Franklin a Judas and states that Franklin is 'just like him' (Michael).
Franklin gives chase and the two speed through the freeways of Los Santos and into Blaine County, at one point heading to the oil fields. Franklin then receives a phone call from Michael and explains the situation to him. Michael, who is not far away, tells Franklin to stop Trevor in the oil fields. The two continue to speed through the oil fields until Michael uses his car to ram Trevor's truck into an gasoline tanker. The tanker begins spilling fuel over Trevor's vehicle and the two get out of their vehicles. An enraged Trevor realises that Michael has teamed with Franklin and tells them to take their shot while crawling away from the tanker. Franklin takes his shot, intentionally missing Trevor to hit the fuel. The spark causes a fire to start and Trevor is burnt to death. Franklin and Michael watch on until the tanker explodes along with Trevor's truck and Michael's car, finally killing Trevor.
Franklin and an emotional Michael begin to walk away with Michael telling Franklin to grow up. Michael then begins to list Trevor's various character flaws, obviously regretting his actions. The two begin to head their separate ways, on good terms, with Franklin telling Michael 'It's certainly been an education!' Michael responds telling him that whatever it takes, survive. The camera then focuses on Franklin walking toward Los Santos as the end credits begin to roll.
The reward for completing the mission is the beginning of the end credits and the To Live and Die in Los Santos achievement/trophy is unlocked.

Each day after practice, he'd speak with the media and then get extra work in throwing passes to any receiver willing. In the actual game, he helped lead the South to a 20-10 victory, completing seven-of-12 passes and a touchdown.
"Really just trying to prove to these teams that I can play in their systems," Carr said during a 1-on-1 with Texans TV. "Prove to them that I can lead their franchise. There's so much that goes into the quarterback position, with such little details, that I'm trying to show them 'Hey, I take it very seriously.'"
Carr is a possible first round pick, and after playing in an offense at Fresno State in which he lined up primarily in the shotgun, he prepared for the Senior Bowl and the next level in a different way.
Carr's older brother is former Houston Texans signal-caller David Carr, and the former learned quite a bit from the latter a decade ago.
"He always taught me you're going to be praised and you're going to be criticized," Carr said. "Ignore both. Because neither matter. Just continue to work hard."

Adapted from:
The current review discusses issues around screening to prevent anal cancer. "The incidence of human papillomavirus-associated anal cancer is unacceptably high among HIV-positive men who have sex with men, and possibly in HIV-positive women," Palefsky wrote. He noted that anal cancer, unlike most other malignancies found among the HIV-positive population, "is potentially preventable, using methods similar to those used to prevent cervical cancer in women."
According to recent studies, the incidence of anal cancer has increased since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy in this population "and now exceeds the highest incidence of cervical cancer among women reported anywhere in the world," Palefsky wrote.
"The high incidence of anal cancer among HIV-positive individuals must not be ignored, since it may be preventable. Given the current evidence and analogy with the cervical cancer prevention model, many clinicians believe that identification and treatment of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia to prevent anal cancer are warranted," Palefsky wrote in conclusion. "When the expertise to do so exists, this is a reasonable approach, particularly if coupled with efforts to optimize further screening and treatment approaches, as well as efforts to document the efficacy of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia treatment to reduce the incidence of anal cancer."

Vassar ends Saint baseball season with 8-6 Liberty League tourney win
Vassar College snapped a 6-6 tie with a run in the top of the seventh and tacked on an insurance run in the top of the ninth, ending St. Lawrence University's 2013 baseball season with a 8-6 win in an elimination game at the Liberty League tournament in Loudonville Friday morning.
The Saints, who fell behind 4-0 in the bottom of the first and trailed 6-3 in the fifth, rallied to tie the game with three runs in the bottom of the fifth, but couldn't hold off a Vassar offense which pounded out 15 hits. SLU ends its season at 20-17 while the Brewers will continue in the losers bracket of the tournament.Vassar came out swinging against Saint starter Andrew Schreyack, scoring four runs in the top of the first with three singles and a three-run homer by Sean Morash. The Saints came right back in the bottom of the inning, scoring three with the benefit of just one hit. Bryan Palermo reached on an error to lead it off, Carter Franz reached on catcher's interference and Khifer O'Connor walked to load the bases. Brian Magovney's grounder was thrown away at second with both Palermo and Franz scoring and Kevin Prindle singled to drive in O'Connor.
Kyle Casey made it 5-3 for Vassar with a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth and Dave Robbins drove in a run with a fielder's choice in the top of the fifth for the 6-3 lead.
Prindle's second hit of the day started the Saint rally in the bottom of the fifth and Paul Piatelli walked and Matt DeLuca was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Ethan Braddock singled through the left side to drive in one run, Palermo's ground out brought in the second and O'Connor singled home the tying run.
Brett Zaziski doubled and Nick Johnson singled him home to give Vassar the lead in the seventh and Zaziski doubled again against Saint reliever Mike Dell'Olio and scored on Morash's single to complete the scoring in the top of the ninth.
Prindle and Braddock combined for four of the Saints' six hits in the game while Zaziski, Johnson and Morash each had three hits for Vassar.

Newcastle director of football Joe Kinnear has said the club are fighting hard to add players to their squad and that he has not been dragging his heels in the transfer market.
The Magpies are yet to make a summer signing except for teenager Olivier Kemen from Metz, with the start of the new Barclays Premier League season just two weeks away. Kinnear is at the forefront of player acquisition following his appointment by owner Mike Ashley in June.
"I'm well aware that everyone is concerned (about the lack of transfers) and rightly so, but I'm not dragging my heels in any manner," he added. "I'm being sensible about the budget I have got and am going to spend it as wisely as I can - I keep (manager) Alan (Pardew) well informed and have regular meetings.
"We sit down on a regular basis and talk about the type of players we want, the best type of players for the Newcastle fans."
Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis is believed to be close to a move to St James' Park but a deal is yet to be announced and Kinnear admits it is becoming difficult to land transfer targets.
"We are fighting hard," he told Sky Sports News. "There are two or three of us (clubs) all seemingly to be wrapped around the same players and, as I have said to Mike, it is a serious battle that we need to win and we are very close to achieving that.
"There are always extra add-ons, always an extra thing and always an extra problem and then there is always the problem of competition from other teams.
"Whatever I have offered more or less goes public and of course that alerts other people that are interested, they tweak it and add a little bit more and we are in that sort of war at the moment.
"I'm waiting for a nod, on which the goalposts have moved on numerous occasions, to bring in a couple of strikers."
Newcastle finished 16th last season and Kinnear's appointment to work alongside Pardew was met by widespread criticism among the club's supporters.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The No. 4 Maryland women's lacrosse team picked up its first marquee win of the season with a 19-11 victory at No. 2 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome Sunday.
Katie Schwarzmann tallied a career-high seven goals to lead Maryland (2-0) to another dominant offensive performance. Freshman Taylor Cummings added five goals and a game-high six draw controls. Alex Aust boasted her second four-goal showing of the year as the Terps are averaging 19.5 goals per game through the first two contests of the 2013 campaign.
The youngest Terps helped Maryland pick up an early two-goal lead as Cummings and Halle Majorana both scored in the opening five minutes. It would take Syracuse (1-1) over 10 minutes to notch its first goal of the game - a Kayla Treanor score - at 19:53.
Kelly McPartland pushed the lead back to two before a pair of Syracuse goals at 16:43 and 15:56 tied the game up at 3-3. Aust and All-American Michelle Tumolo exchanged scores before goals by Schwarzmann and Aust gave the Terps a 6-4 padding.
Two more Orange scores by Tumolo and Treanor knotted the game at six but Schwarzmann and Cummings tallied goals in the three-minute mark to give Maryland an 8-6 advantage at the half.
Maryland set the tone early in the second half, scoring three goals in the opening four minutes of the stanza. Alyssa Murray stopped the run at 26:01 but Maryland outscored Syracuse 4-1 the next 10 minutes for a decisive 15-8 lead.
The Terps continued to meticulously keep Syracuse on its heels, tallying a 4-2 advantage down the stretch, including two goals from Schwarzmann, to clinch the Terps' second win of the year.
"This was a great game for the sport of lacrosse," head coach Cathy Reese said. "I think today you saw two teams competing extremely hard for 60 minutes. I liked the composure and fight our team showed this early in the season and I thought we did a great job of staying aggressive the entire game."
Schwarzmann totaled five goals in the second half alone. The defending Tewaaraton winner is now fifth all-time in goals at Maryland with 180. Defensively, Iliana Sanza drew a pair of charges and added four ground balls. Kasey Howard had a career-best 11 saves in her second start in the cage.
Sunday's win avenged a one-goal loss at home last season which snapped a 36-game home winning streak.
Maryland opens the home portion of its schedule with a game against Duke next Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.

Add the onion, mushrooms and thyme, then fry on a high heat for another 3 mins until the onions start to colour.
Tip the flour into the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 min. With the pan off the heat, gradually stir or whisk in the stock, followed by the milk, then add the chicken back to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins. Spoon the filling into a large pie or baking dish (approx 20 x 30cm) with a lip and leave to cool.
Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. On a floured surface, roll the pastry to the thickness of two £1 coins.

Mariah Long and George Wood rode their bikes just past the closed road closed signs on Ely in Alma on Monday to check out the flood waters from the Pine River. They watched the water run down the road and into Riverside Park, where benches and playground equipment were surrounded by the flood.
"It's not the worst we've seen it, but it's high," Long said. "We're down the street so we didn't get flooding, so we came to see it."
Evan Webb, a meteorologist from The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids said Gratiot County got 3-4 inches of rain during a series of storms over a 4-6 hour time frame Sunday night and early Monday morning, which exceed flash flood guidelines. He said one volunteer observationist reported a rain gauge reading of 4.9 inches in the Alma city limits. Webb also said he received a report at 2 a.m. Monday during the storms reporting rain 6-8 inches deep over Pine Avenue near Alma High School and also near MidMichigan Medical Center-Gratiot, Alma's hospital.
David Ringle, who is Alma's assistant director of public services and also serves as the city's floodplain manager, said the Pine, overfilling with rainwater from the heavy storms, reached its flood stage of 8 feet at 10:30 Monday morning. The river was as high as 8.25 feet by 1 p.m. Additionally, rain water filled the streets overnight causing flash flooding through out the city. .
During the storm, residents on the west side of the city were called and warned to plug their drains because the water treatment plant could reach its capacity to take on more water from the heavy downpour. The plant reported over 4 inches of rain overnight.
The city also lost power at 4 a.m. for about an hour because of the storms.
Ringle said crews were split into shifts, with one starting working the early morning hours, checking for flooded streets.
"It became too many streets at one point during the storms. They had to focus on closing the worst ones first," Ringle said.
Riverside from Marshall to Woodworth is closed as well as where Downie meets. N. River Drive as of Monday afternoon, and Ringle said most wouldn't be open before the middle of the week at the earliest. Additionally the Riverwalk from Ely to the Alma Library is closed to foot traffic.
"People should stay out of flooded roads that are closed," Ringle said. "You don't know how deep the water is and it can be very unsafe."
The rainwaters also complicated things for construction crews working on the State Street bridge in Alma. Gerace employees are replacing seals in the coffer dam, but because water levels were so high, they couldn't get to the area where they needed to work. Instead, they worked on whatever else they could Monday.
"We've got about two days of prep to work on. After that, it's waiting for the water to go down," said Keith Crain, the Gerace superintendant on the site. "The city said we probably won't see the water low enough until the end of the week."
Crain said the flooding probably will push the repair work back, but only by a couple of days.
"Unless we get some more storms," he added.
Down river in St. Louis, rising waters from the storm caused alarms to go off at the dam at around 11:30 p.m. Sunday night. St. Louis City Manager Bob McConkie said gates had to be adjusted to let some of the water run down river.
"We're required to let the water out," he said. "We aren't allowed to hold water back."
He said the storms also knocked out power to the entire city for about 2.5 hours, starting at 3:30 a.m. Monday morning. Phone lines were down for Winn Telecom customers, including city hall, for the better part of the day, with service restored at 4 p.m. Monday.
"We've had crews out making sure things were OK since the early morning," he said. "They've done a wonderful job keeping things going. We're mostly all back up and running."
McConkie said he heard reports of 3.5 to 4 inches of rain in St. Louis, and The National Weather Service had reports of rainfall in the range of 2.5 inches in the city.
While storms were brewing in Isabella County Sunday night and Monday morning, most of the area avoided the same consequences of heavy rainfall Gratiot County faced. Webb said the National Weather Service had reports of 1 inch of rainfall in much of Isabella County, with areas like Blanchard in the south west corner of the county getting 3-4 inches.
By Monday afternoon water levels in the Millpond in Blanchard were high but not spilling over. Cedar Road and the north county line road both had water over them in places, but Isabella County's road commission manager Tony Casali said it was quiet in the county for the most part.
"We didn't have much, not like south of us," Casali said. "You can see rain standing in the fields, but the roads are mostly good."

I've been thinking for a while about selling my 15-85 since I'm not satisfied with the quality (good at 15 sucks at 85) and the colors that are "weird" (tough to describe) and because , anyways I was wondering if the 17-40 would be an upgrade IQ wise. I was also considering the 16-28 tokina for the 2.8 if anyone has experience with that lens.
Also, the 17-40 is always brought up in conversations of the best wide angles of canon. How often is the 15-85 brought up? Just saying.

A terrible tragedy.
"Syria suffered its worst terrorist attack since the start of the uprising when 55 people were reported killed and nearly 400 injured in twin suicide car bomb blasts near a government intelligence building in Damascus.
The death toll was the biggest in Damascus since the start of the uprising in March 2011. It was sophisticated and carefully co-ordinated. Witnesses said the first blast, at rush hour peak, was quickly followed by a second, larger one, maximising casualties, damage and terror. Most of the victims were reported to be civilians.
"Two booby-trapped cars loaded with more than 1,000kg of explosives and driven by suicide bombers carried out the terrorist blasts," said a statement by the interior ministry. The explosions left two large craters.
Syrian state TV showed bodies lying in the street amid smouldering vehicles. The official health ministry tally of the dead and 372 injured included a reference to "15 bags of body parts."

It was a defensive battle for the Georgia State women's soccer team in its season-opening match, but Auburn came out on top with a 1-0 win over the Panthers in Auburn, Ala.
In the first half, it was all about defense for the Panthers. Auburn took 13 shots in the half, but junior goalkeeper Rebecca Ingram made a statement to the Tigers. She saved all five shots Auburn attempted on goal and kept the score at nil for the whole first half. The Panthers didn't get off a shot despite moving the ball down field.
The trend carried over into the beginning of the second half. Auburn continued to take aim at the Panther goal and Ingram blocked the first five shots that came in the second half. Late at the 78th minute, Auburn's Mary Coffed launched one that Ingram could not block. Auburn took a 1-0 lead that it would hang onto for the final 12 minutes.
With just under three minutes left, senior Carly Lafferty took Georgia State's first and only shot of the game. By the end of 90 minutes, Ingram had an impressive start to the season with a total of 13 saves on fourteen shots on goal. Auburn ended with a total of 28 shots. Ingram was three saves off the Georgia State record, which is 16, last accomplished in 2009.
"(Rebecca) Ingram was awesome and almost kept a clean sheet," coach Derek Leader said. "The whole back line, including (Elizabeth) Kinsel, (Leah) Beasley, (Alyssia) Feronti and (Bri) Pitre, played phenomenally all night. I'm really proud of the way these girls played against a quality opponent like Auburn. Unfortunately, in the end, we couldn't force overtime.
"Now we need to find energy to turn around and play at home against Jacksonville State on Sunday."
The Panthers will look to bounce back with a home match with Jacksonville State at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the GSU Soccer Complex.

I know it's become somewhat of a pastime to rag on Calderon for his defensive shortcoming and high annual salary, but I think it's time we recognize what he's worth as a trade chip and cash in on it while we can. I'm not sure which is more valuable, his distribution and shooting skills or his expiring contact, but here's where he stands amongst the top 10 point guards in total assist over the last three seasons (2009/10 to 2011/12):
Total Assists: 7th (6th over last five seasons)
Assists per 48 min: 4th (4th over last five seasons)
Assists per TO: 2nd (1st over last five seasons)
Free Throw %: 3rd (2nd over last five seasons)
Field Goal %: 5th (5th over last five seasons)
3-Point %: 3rd (2nd over last five seasons)
16 teams will make the playoffs this season and many of them will have an inferior point guard. Combine that with a $10M expiring contract (which is still high, but hardly unmanageable) and I think we've got one value trading chip. I just hope BC cashes it in!

I'm a reporter working on a story about The University of Missouri School of Law's drop in the rankings. I'm looking to talk with someone or some people who were or are considering attending the MU School of Law and get their take on the school's drop in the rankings.
E-mail me if you are interested in talking with me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Well all schools rise and drop in the rankings, because the formula makes no sense. Missouri dropped based on some judge in San Francisco checking them as a 3 instead of a 4. 60% of a schools ranking is determined by peer assessment and what a peer assessment consists of is lawyers and judges around the country filling out a scantron of 1-5. A guy in Spokane Washington who has never been to Missouri or met anyone from Missouri has a sh**ty day and decides to mark them as a 3. The next year he is in a great mood and marks them as a 4 so they rise.
Schools drop and rise 20-30 spots any given year based on this formula. It needs to be noted that U.S. News is not an official publication it is a for profit magazine offering their subjective opinion about law schools. The methodology makes no sense and as a result the ABA, AALS, and LSAC publicly condemn them.
This article published by LSAC does a good job of explaining how the rankings work.
The rankings outside of elite schools i.e. Harvard, Yale, don't mean much. This is literally the system and not a joke. Lawyers and Judges from around the country mark a scantron from 1-5. So a judge in Nebraska checks a box from 1-5 to determine whether University of Miami is a 3 or 4. The Nebraska judge is unlikely to have ever met anyone from Miami and would be unable to give any type of accurate assessment of the school, but the ranking goes in. Besides not interacting with anyone from 90% of the schools it is pretty difficult to tell whether something is 83rd or 84th best so they just make everything a tie. There is currently a 12 way tie for 84th place. Besides all the ties etc schools drop and rise upwards of 20 spots in a given year. The reason for this is there is no methodology in place.
As a result of the questionable methodology the ABA and AALS publicly condemn the rankings. It needs to be noted that U.S. News is not officially regulated by anyone and it is a for profit magazine offering their subjective opinion based on questionable methodology. Obviously Harvard, Yale, etc are top schools and you should go, but the 58th or 72nd best school nobody cares especially considering they jump drastically from year to year.
Here are just a few of the biggest jumps from 2010-2011 that I noticed. .
Nebraska went from unranked tier 3 in 2010 to #84 in 2011, but not just any #84 rank a TWELVE way tie for 84th place. I dont even know how you can have a twelve way tie for 84th place, but they managed to do it.
LSU went from 75 into this twelve way tie for 84th place. So it is not clear if LSU went from 75 to the 96th or 84th school because there is a twelve way tie for the prestigious honor of 84th place.
Kansas went from 65 in 2010 to a 5 way tie for 79th place.
Catholic went from a 4 way tie for 94th place in 2010 up to a 5 way tie for 79th place in 2011.
LMU from 71 in 2010 to 54 in 2011.
Emory from #20 to a 4 way tie to #30.
What changed at any of these schools in one year I dont know if anyone can say. More impressive yet is in the new rankings they just make 4 way ties for everything. In the 2011 ranking the following ties involving four or more schools occurred, 5 way tie for 30th place, 4 way tie for 35th place, 5 way tie for 42nd place, 4 way tie for 50th place, 4 way tie for 56th place.
After 56 the ties get really impressive! 6 way tie for 61st place, 4 way tie for 71st place, 6 way tie for 71st place, 5 way tie for 79th place, then my favorite 12 way tie for 84th place, then they round it up with a 5 way tie for 95th and then wrap up the top 100 with 4 schools tied for 100th best.

text: One piece of electronics that is a must-have in every home today is a television, and things weren't much different 30 years ago. However, the technology and cost of the television was very different. In 1982, a color tabletop 19-inch television was priced at $430, and today the same-sized TV costs approximately $150 depending on the make, model and store where it's purchased. And, for less than half the price of what it was, a television at that price today is thin, flat-screened and HD versus the large, bulky and lower-quality of a typical 1982 TV.

Attorneys, Gay Couple React to Ill. Gay Marriage Ruling
Attorneys for both sides are reacting to an Illinois judge's decision that a lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage can continue.
Camilla Taylor is an attorney with Lambda Legal, representing 25 couples who filed for marriage licenses in Cook County and were denied. Taylor said after Friday's ruling in Chicago that it will be "a very bad day for the defendants" when the case is decided.
Meanwhile attorney Paul Linton represents five downstate Illinois county clerks who are defending the state's ban. Linton says he's confident his clients will prevail.
And Patrick Bova of Chicago has been with his partner Jim Darby for decades. Bova says the couple can marry elsewhere in the country but want to wed in Illinois, their home state.

CARLTON key forward Jarrad Waite is in doubt to play in the blockbuster against Richmond in round one because of a calf injury.
Waite missed the Blues' NAB Cup wins over Greater Western Sydney and Sydney on Sunday, along with Chris Judd, Matthew Kreuzer and Heath Scotland, but that trio all trained on Wednesday.
Scotland will miss the first two games of the premiership season because of a club-imposed suspension over his guilty plea in an assault case last year, and could be joined in the stands by Waite, whose injury troubles kept him to 23 games in the past two seasons and 11 last year because of back troubles.
Blues coach Mick Malthouse said there was some doubt over whether the injury-prone forward would play against the Tigers at the MCG on March 28.
"I'm starting to think not but I'm not convinced he isn't. He's on line-ball at the moment," Malthouse said.
Carlton is weighing up whether Judd, Kreuzer and Scotland will resume against Fremantle on Saturday night, but the prospect of them missing another match did not faze Malthouse.
"They don't have to do a lot," he said.
"I don't believe you have to play practice matches. It's for young kids. They've got nothing to prove."
Young defender Andrew McInnes (knee) is the only Carlton player ruled out of the club's first game of the home and away season.
Malthouse said he was not surprised by Judd's revelation on Tuesday he would sign a contract this year to stay with the Blues for next year at least.
There was speculation the 29-year-old would consider retirement once his current six-year deal expired, but Malthouse said the Brownlow medallist, who has just overcome hamstring tightness, had plenty of football before him.
"He's a wonderful player and I think he's got plenty of years left in him. That's up to Chris," he said.
As he attempts to gel Carlton into playing his style, Malthouse revealed he knew it would take some time before the Blues adapted to a new game plan.
"I've got to be patient. Unfortunately patience is for the dead, it doesn't really suit me, but I'll have to live with it," he said.
But Malthouse said he was pleased with his side's next two opponents in the Dockers and Adelaide, whose own styles of play would test the Blues before the season proper.
"If we're going to learn anything about ourselves and what we need to do it's against one of the best defensive sides in the competition. Very, very well versed and very strong at the football," he said of Fremantle.
"Adelaide, I think they play on the other spectrum ... they're good defensively but they're very good offensively. They run well and we'll be playing them on their ground."
