| EnergySolutions Stops Bidding on $10 Billion UK Contract
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Salt Lake City-based EnergySolutions is no longer bidding for a five-year, $10 billion contract to run nuclear sites in the United Kingdom. Philip Strawbridge, EnergySolutions International group president, says the company needs to focus on its other U.K. business. The company is already bidding to manage the U.K.'s national repository of low-level radioactive waste and pursuing the decommissioning of U.K. reactor sites. Strawbridge says the company shouldn't lead all three efforts, but the decision doesn't diminish the company's global efforts. ------ Information from: Salt Lake Tribune www.sltrib.com (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press.

Ohio State
Last season, the Buckeyes stumbled out of the gates, dropped two competitive conference games to Denver and Notre Dame later in the season and finished out of the running for the GWLL's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. But it's a new year for the boys from Columbus. Ohio State avenged that loss to the Pioneers on Sunday with a crucial 10-9 overtime win, its fourth straight conference victory, setting up a huge showdown of GWLL unbeatens when the Buckeyes welcome the Irish on Saturday with an auto bid to the tournament on the line. -- Craig Johnson Towson
I don't know if rise is exactly the word for the Tigers.
