Lanis to play with cast
With his left forearm looking like it was wrapped with a gigantic marshmallow, UCLA strong-side tackle Aleksey Lanis returned to practice Tuesday in preparation for the Dec.27 Emerald Bowl against Florida State. And, yes, Lanis was in quite a bit of pain. He suffered a broken ulnar bone in his left forearm on UCLA's last offensive play of the USC game, but plans to start against the Seminoles. "I'm hoping it gets a little better and I get used to this cast," Lanis said. "I'm trying to keep my hand from being pushed back. My wrist is still a little tight, but it's been in a cast for the last two weeks." Lanis, a redshirt freshman who started every game and was a second team CollegeFootballNews.com All-American, said the pain is something he must work through. But it is not the type of injury that should keep him out of the lineup.

Williams Senior Rachel Shalev wins prestigious Marshall ...
Williams College senior Rachel Gabriella Shalev was in a car when she received the call on her cell phone that she was to receive a coveted Marshall Scholarship. The prestigious award provides recipients with the opportunity and funds for two years of graduate study in the United Kingdom. "I have no idea what the selection committee chair said after he told me I had won. I just remember writing down a phone number. I have no clue whose number it was or what I was supposed to do with it," said Rachel. "I was surprised and extremely excited. I'm glad I wasn't the one driving." Scholarships were awarded to 43 candidates nationwide from a pool of about 1,000 students endorsed by their respective schools. "Rachel's strong work ethic, her ability to synthesize large amounts of complex information and to articulate informed and sophisticated arguments, as well as her passion for history and political science made her an exceptional candidate," said Guillaume Aubert, assistant professor of history at Williams.
Harbaugh on fire with optimism
STANFORD Into the crowded room he marched, wearing a dark suit and a megawatt grin, bathing in applause. He stopped to acknowledge the legend, then spent the next hour unleashing the gale-force fury of his presence. "I vow I will attack this endeavor with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind," Jim Harbaugh thundered Tuesday upon being introduced as Stanford's new football coach. Harbaugh also said he intends to hire the best staff in America. He also promises "a tempo that will be lethal." He also believes he can make Stanford a "conduit to the NFL." "We expect to win multiple conference championships," Harbaugh added. Wow! One has to believe if "Hurricane" Harbaugh can coach the game as well as he talks it and sells himself, he will put Stanford football back on the map of Teams That Matter.
