In addition to "Toxicity Following Methoxyflurane Anesthesia" (214:86, 1970), several articles in the past months noted renal failure following methoxyflurane anesthesia.1,2 All suffer from a common information gap. The anesthetic administration and management is dismissed in a few words eg, "under methoxyflurane anesthesia..." "The surgery lasted six hours, and there was no hypoxia or hypotension." While it is reassuring to note the absence of hypoxia and hypotension, your anesthesiologist reader wishes to know a great deal more.What per cent of anesthetic was administered? Was it in a closed system, or a semiclosed system, or nonrebreathing? Was nitrous oxide used as well and in what concentration? What was the total flow of gas? Were muscle relaxants used or was the anesthetic pushed to deep levels to provide relaxation? How long was each setting used? The answers to these questions would allow us to guess at

I wouldn't really argue with someone who has GSP as #1, it's a perfectly valid call as I see it. I personally rank Anderson higher for the following reasons:
- Anderson's last 3 fights before Bonnar were ridiculously impressive for me. A once-in-a-lifetime KO of world-class Vitor Belfort (who had NEVER been finished like that in his long, long career), a humiliating beatdown and finish of a genuine top 5 fighter in Okami, and the revenge TKO of the undisputed #1 contender Chael Sonnen where he showed good TDD in that 2nd round and then seemed to take Sonnen's soul, turning him *****like. To me, this is more form deserving of the p4p#1 position than either wrestling or jabbing your way to dominant decisions. GSP is incredible, but Anderson has been spectacularly finishing top guys, and this is so important (imo)
- Anderson has effectively been undefeated since Dec 2004, he is undefeated in the UFC, undefeated in title fights, holds all the records for consecutive runs, while GSP was knocked out by Matt Serra in the UFC, and so his run of dominance is shorter and far less emphatic. If Anderson had been KO'd by someone of that calibre early on, say Marquardt or Leben, I'd probably have GSP higher now, their respective runs is a factor to take into account (not the most important one, but not to disregarded completely)

Isnt that what P4P is all about?
No, that isn't what I take it to be at all. JMHO.
But if Anderson and GSP do fight at a catchweight they are both comfortable at, I'd say Anderson executes GSP in savage fashion.

As with the Nikon D3x, the 5D Mark II sensor is so demanding that every optical shortcoming is revealed. Use the best glass. Examples of "best" include Canon's 85mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.2L II, 135mm f/2L, super telephotos such as the 300mm f/2.8L, etc. Lenses under 60mm are bound to disappoint in some cases, which is not to say that excellent results are not possible with some care (field curvature, aperture, etc). Zoom lenses like the 24-105mm f/4L and 70-200mm f/4L can yield very good results, but definitely are not "all there".

LED Downlights
(Showing 6 categories)
LED Recessed Downlights
When a light fixture is installed in a ceiling to shine down on the space is below, it is called a downlight. An LED recessed light fixture is called that simply because it is designed to work with LED light bulbs. LED downlights are also referred to as can lights, pot lights and recessed lights. The LED recessed light fixtures available at 1000Bulbs.com deliver significant savings when compared to standard incandescent bulbs. This is because an LED bulb will use a lot less energy to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, and this means it does not produce as much heat, which makes it safer as well. LEDs will also have a much longer lifespan than other bulbs.

Donald A. Smith
To the editor:
I believe that it is time for all of us to admit that following Ronnie Reagan's pickup into a modern version of the Wild West and Adam Smith's outdated model of unregulated capitalism is an abject failure. Gun violence is the worst among modern nations, the wealth gap is the largest in history, the deficit is astronomical, money rules every facet of state and national politics, government is disrespected and states are in rebellion, our youth are poorly educated, our towns and cities are broke, infrastructure is crumbling, etc., etc., etc.
In reviving a gasping company or association the first order of business is to agree on a purpose for its existence. As Americans we have that purpose but most forget what it is. While many quote the Declaration of Independence or bluster with their interpretation of the Bill of Rights, few recognize or can recite the basic purpose of this nation as set forth in the preamble to the Constitution. It is a solid and timeless purpose and one which has been defended against states rights zealots as well as marauding foreigners. The "Union Forever" should be the rallying cry for all Americans for all time, not just during the Civil War.
Our representative government with its checks and balances is the only barrier we have against the robber barons, organized crime, tribal barbarians, hackers, fanatical bombers, arsonists and psychopaths and gun-toting bullies. No matter how smart or well-armed we are as rugged individualists, we cannot withstand the organized forces of corruption and destruction. Our legislators should be proud to serve and not bad-mouth their own organization. Our government becomes dangerous only when we let it be hijacked by extremists of the left or right or by big money in any form.
This wondrous government of the people, by the people and for the people needs our hearts, minds and resources to keep it alive for all generations. It cannot survive when we give up on it and run it down. I wish every American had to pass the same citizenship test that is required for becoming a naturalized citizen. We need to burn the preamble of the Constitution into our very being.
We also need to reground all of our school systems, which we fund with our taxes, to a similar purpose — to train every child to appreciate the values and responsibilities of using their unique talents as ethical and active citizens of this country. We can spend our own money on whatever paths we want for our own family but when we spend our collective resources through taxes it should be for the common good, not personal advancement or political opportunity. Do I want our children to be brainwashed that this is a great country, a wonderful place to live and needs us to be responsible citizens? You're doggone right! The 21st century needs a rededication to a timeless vision for this unique experiment in self-government. We need partnership in patriotism not polarization in politics.

Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Perry Jones III getting comfortable
Rookie forward Perry Jones III made the most of some unexpected playing time Friday against Orlando, scoring eight points with a career-high five rebounds in the Thunder's 117-104 win.
Jones filled in for an injured Hasheem Thabeet (sore back) and made four of five shots in 11 minutes, 14 seconds. It was the most field goals he's made in a game.
"I felt comfortable thanks to the vets talking to me and getting me ready," Jones said after the game. "They knew Hash wasn't playing before I did. So they've definitely been preparing me since shootaround (Friday)."
Jones has played in just 33 games this season, with no more than 19 minutes in any contest. His career high is nine points but he holds averages of 2.2 points, 1.5 rebounds in 7.1 minutes.
Each opportunity, though, has helped boost Jones' confidence.
"All the time," Jones said. "All I got to do is just go out there and be aggressive, defend and rebound. That's what coach is looking for, my activity."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said he "is very pleased" with Jones but added there aren't any minutes available in the rotation.
"He works to get better every day," Brooks said. "He has a very bright future with us."
Dallas ranks seventh in 3-point field goal percentage at 37.1 percent and can get hot in a hurry from behind the arc.
The Mavs have been held to 21-for-60 shooting (35 percent) from 3-point range against the Thunder, but Dallas connected on 11 of 24 attempts in the first meeting.
That's why closing out on shooters Sunday will be critical.
"The biggest key is going to be stopping the pick and roll and getting back to cover out on their 3-point shooters," said Kendrick Perkins. "They do a great job of spacing with a (shooting power forward) in Dirk (Nowitzki) and then you've got Vince Carter who's playing well. So we just got to make sure we just do all the little things."
The Thunder is 33-7 when out-rebounding opponents this season.
Including last year, Oklahoma City is 64-12 when out-rebounding opponents.
That's a stat Brooks pointed out to the team Saturday, hoping to illustrate to his players how important rebounding is.
"So we're just trying to get better at that," Perkins said.
The Thunder ranks eighth in the league in total rebounding at 43.3 per game. One of the keys to success has been a team effort. Six players are averaging at least four rebounds, and four players are averaging at least five boards.
"Our guards rebound," Perkins said. "We've got a lot of athletic guards, and (Kevin Durant) is 6-10 on the wing. Thabo (Sefolosha does) a good job of coming in, him and (Russell Westbrook). So we all do a great job collectively but we're still trying to get better."
Much of Brooks' message after Friday's win over Orlando centered on playing with consistency and focus for 48 minutes.
The Thunder nearly blew a 27-point lead when the Magic rallied in the second half and got within four points late.
The players seem to be hearing their coach loud and clear.
"We just got to keep improving, keep listening," Perkins said. "It's about our mindset; make sure we come in the game with the right focus. Sometimes you've got to smell the blood so when you have a team down 27 that's the time to push it up to 40.
"I think we've been doing a pretty good job of it of late. We had a little slippage (Friday) night but we're going to watch film and clean it up."

China Mobile is the largest mobile telecommunications service provider in the world.
China Mobile makes money primarily through its mobile voice facilities provided to both consumers and corporations. The company also provides value added services like caller ID, voice mail and data services to its users. The wireless Internet business and other data business are the high growth areas for the company.
The company does not currently offer landline phone services, which makes it different from not only its Chinese counterparts like China Unicom and China Telecom, but also from U.S. telecommunication companies like AT&T and Verizon. However, it was recently granted a license to offer fixed-line broadband services to users in China, which could add to the company's growth in the long term.
The Mobile Internet Service division constitutes majority of China Mobile's value mainly because of the following reasons:
The Average Revenue Per Value Added User Per Month increased from $0.5 in 2009 to $4 in 2015. This increase is reflective of the growing importance of data/Internet in mobile phone usage in China, and the value it holds for future revenue growth.
China Mobile had a customer base of 830 million users by the end of 2015 with over 450 million high speed users (3G and 4G). The proportion of high speed users (also called 3G/4G mix) is increasing fast as the carrier aggressively expands its 4G network.
China is now the largest smartphone market in the world by volume. According to Strategy Analytics, about 438 million smartphones were sold in China in 2015. Increasing smartphone adoption will help drive data revenues up since the average revenue per user generated from someone using a smartphone is far higher than customers on feature phones, who only use text and voice services.
Since the PRC Government encourages orderly and fair competition in the telecommunications industry in Mainland China, they have extended certain favourable policies to the company's competitors in order to make competition more viable. In line with this, the Government has taken restructuring initiatives to optimize the allocation of telecommunications in China and further asymmetrical measures might be seen. This has resulted in an increase in customer base, revenues and profitability for the competitors of China Mobile, marginally taking down the market share of the company with it. Some of these initiatives are- revision of interconnection fees and replacement of Business Tax for VAT in telecom services.
While there remains some potential for new subscriber growth in rural markets, the broader Chinese wireless market is slowing down. Wireless subscriber growth in China has slowed from 15%+ levels seen in 2008 and 2009 to levels of under 2% in 2015. China had a total of about 1.3 billion wireless customers as of December 2015, just slightly below its population of roughly 1.4 billion.
Value Added Business Revenues as a proportion of revenues has been steadily increasing and is expected to continue growing. This is because of increasing popularity of smartphones and greater usage of wireless Internet on mobile phones by users. The company has also taken promotion initiatives in line with these measures. Mobile Internet business is expected to show highest growth patterns.
China Mobile launched its 4G services in January 2014, over a year ahead its smaller rivals China Unicom and China Telecom. The early-mover advantage allowed the carrier to add an unprecedented 300 million+ 4G users over the first two years of its campaign. The number should rise further, given that the carrier's 4G penetration stood at under 40% at the end of 2015. A higher 4G user mix will allow the carrier to improve its ARPUs, while also helping margins, since 4G-LTE is more efficient at carrying data compared to 3G.

The Volume Group name "V0" is also specific to my system.

One thing that has just occurred to me is that using a /etc/crypttab file in the same format as Debian will make things a lot easier. Here is a sample crypttab: # <target device> <source device> <key file> <options> swap /dev/V0/swap /dev/random swap root /dev/V0/fc2 /etc/root-key defaults For example the above file would specify that the device /dev/mapper/swap would be /dev/V0/swap encrypted with a key from /dev/random. In Debian the "swap" parameter at the end of the line indicates that after the encrypted device is setup the command "mkswap" should be run on it. Now mkinitrd could check /etc/fstab, see that the root device is /dev/mapper/root, look for the appropriate entry in /etc/crypttab then know it needs to put /etc/root-key in the initrd and do the mapping from /dev/V0/fc2 . I've just added the above text to the bugzilla entry for 124789. > >Currently the statically linked version of cryptsetup is 780K in size. > > I bet its not stripped either.

Is this because it is under a $1? When can investment managers buy FNMA for their mutual funds? Anybody know anything about this?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Edward jones cant buy anything under a $1, thats why I have an etrade account too.
I think it just hit $.97! Woohoo!
So if it hits a dollar volume and price could rise quicker than they are now?
nearly all mutual fund managers are prohibited from buying anything under 5.00
They consider anything under 5.00 to be too risky.
they need the share price to be north of $1..rules, rules, rules.
Exciting times! Good luck everybody!
okay... then some one needs to go buy a share for $1.00
Okay, that's terrific. Thanks Tommer!!!

Tax Policy Drives Money Overseas
Regarding your editorial " Google's Bermuda Billions" (Dec. 12): We would suggest a more balanced representation of the issues surrounding U.S. corporate tax policy. The Journal's consistent argument for a more competitive U.S. corporate tax rate fails to acknowledge the issue of the basis for the tax rate. The basis is U.S. legal entity earnings, measured as revenue and expenses recognized in the U.S.
U.S. companies employ mechanisms to minimize U.S. legal entity earnings. If product is sold from a foreign affiliate of the U.S. parent corporation to a U.S. customer, those revenues are recognized by the foreign affiliate. If product is sourced from a foreign affiliate, the cost of that product on U.S. books is based on the transfer price (higher than cost) from the foreign affiliate. Companies can also shift intellectual property ownership to and between overseas subsidiaries in order to recognize revenue in a low-tax international legal entity (like Bermuda) even if the customer is U.S. based. These practices have resulted in lower U.S. earnings and higher international earnings, which aren't taxed until repatriated. Recent evidence suggests companies have become more aggressive at shifting profits in this manner. The $1.7 trillion of profits held overseas is due to true foreign economic activity, but it is also due to aggressive profit shifting to low-tax foreign affiliates.
U.S. tax policy makers need to address both the tax rate and the basis when constructing a competitive international tax structure.

I just finished reading this book and found it very interesting and
informative. It discusses a wide range of legal topics that relate to
cycling, with many specific references to recent and historical cases. The
material is generally applicable outside the context of cycling as well. I
highly recommend the book. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any magic
spells. Its theme seems to be that a lot is possible but nothing is anywhere
close to easy.

I've just spent the last two days trying to get a "utility" system to boot. In the past, I've always selected ATAPI CD-ROM as the boot device and it worked perfectly. I guess I'm not using an ATAPI CD-ROM device any more. It has DVD capabilities so it wasn't until I figured out that the boot list was showing me the model number of the DVD and not one of the Hard drives that it finally boot properly. the moral of the story, jot down all of the model numbers before you hard install them into the system. It's also handy to note which is master, slave etc.

Author and Journalist Who Spent Forty Years in Exile Honored with Out of the Shadows at the Cuban Heritage Collection
by Sarah Block, Libraries Communications
The University of Miami Libraries Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC) commemorates one hundred years since the birth of Cuban literary great Gastón Baquero (1914-1997) with Out of the Shadows, an exhibition featuring a collection of the author's personal papers. Currently on display through June, the exhibition includes manuscripts, photographs, and private correspondence, which together provide insight into Gastón Baquero's life during a span of forty years that he spent in exile from the island.
"Many of us grew up with the absence of Gastón Baquero in our studies of Cuban literature," explained Eva Reyes Cisnero, a conservation assistant at the Libraries' Conservation Lab who interned with CHC to help prepare Out of the Shadows. For the exhibition, Reyes organized materials from the poet and journalist's life in exile, drawing principally from the Gastón Baquero Papers acquired by CHC in 1996. "I went from having no idea who Baquero was, to realizing there's this writer who significantly impacted Cuban poetry, but who was banished from our cultural memory," Reyes said.
An important literary force in Havana prior to the Cuban Revolution, Baquero gained recognition as a poet with the 1942 publications of Poemas and Saúl sobre su espada. He was a member of the avant-garde literary collective Orígenes, before he changed his focus to journalism, writing a column for the popular newspaper El Diario de la Marina. "Baquero used the column to voice his concerns about the future of Cuban society," Reyes said.
Baquero went into exile soon after Fidel Castro's takeover of the country in 1959, prompted by the arrival of a cautionary message, an invitation to meet with guerilla leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara. He fled to Madrid, Spain, that night, where he continued to live until his death in 1997 from natural causes. A facsimile of Baquero's final article for El Diario de la Marina, a goodbye letter, is featured in the exhibition, along with a handful of publications and manuscripts of poems that he was able to take with him.
The exhibition focuses largely on the author's life in the time that followed his sudden departure from the island. Hardcover poetry compilations—alongside original manuscripts of poems—demonstrate Baquero's successful return to writing poetry following a fifteen-year hiatus from the craft. Within his first year in Spain he published Poemas escritos en España.
The exhibition also features Baquero's personal communications with Cuban anthropologist, writer, and author Lydia Cabrera, which Reyes was able to track from both writers' permanent collections at CHC (Cabrera's was donated in 1991). Reyes mentioned that Baquero, true to his journalism background, always kept records—even copies of his outgoing mail. "Poets and writers who came of age during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s continued to write to each other throughout their lives," said Meiyolet Mendez, CHC librarian and lead curator of Out of the Shadows.
The author's correspondence with composer Aurelio de la Vega is also highlighted in the exhibition. De la Vega went into exile the same year as Baquero, and later composed a musical score to five of his poems from the 1984 compilation, Magias e invenciones.
Baquero's reinstatement as a poet, however, never fully replaced his journalistic endeavors. He became a reporter for three Spanish newspapers and in the 1980s began contributing stories to The Miami Herald, which was when CHC initiated contact with the author about acquiring his personal papers and library. The Gastón Baquero Papers was the first major collection acquisition facilitated by the Amigos of the Cuban Heritage Collection.
"The acquisition enhanced not only the Cuban Heritage Collection, but the Libraries' general collection as well," said Chair Maria R. Estorino Dooling, explaining that many texts from the author's personal collection are now a part of the Libraries' Spanish language holdings. Acquiring the Gastón Baquero Papers was an immediate goal of the Amigos upon its formation in 1995, and they raised the funds to purchase it from the author. "The Baquero Papers represents and honors the history of support the Amigos has provided to the Cuban Heritage Collection," Estorino said.
Out of the Shadows is now coinciding with National Poetry Month in the United States and the O, Miami Poetry Festival, running through April to further the reach of poetry in Miami-Dade County. CHC launched a Twitter profile for Baquero (@GBaquero_UMCHC) at the beginning of the month to support the festival's goal, and will continue to tweet lines from Baquero's works for the duration of the exhibition.
Out of the Shadows is on view through June in the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion at the Cuban Heritage Collection, located on the second floor of the Otto G. Richter Library. For more information about the exhibition, please call 305-284-4900, or visit library.miami.edu/chc.

With the PlayStation Store set for its first major overhaul in a few years, the reconstructed PS Store aims to be a fluid and accessible experience. I was fortunate enough to get a breakdown of what some of the enhancements PlayStation 3 owners should look forward to when the relaunch goes live on October 23rd.
Getting around the PS Store has always been a painfully slow experience, with inexplicable pauses and poor organization. The main page now has separate sections dedicated to games, movies and television content, while the "What's New" landing page contains all of the latest additions – regardless of category. The store is now strictly focused on PlayStation 3 content, with all Vita and PSP games moved into their own section. Furthermore, there's a classic games section which is divided into Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 titles.
Gone are the old and boring blue backgrounds; instead, every page now has a much more visually-focused experience, and the new UI has been designed to emphasize this. Pages come to life thanks to large crisp visuals that clearly state the price and what the content is all about. In addition to the top sellers, the Most Popular section essentially functions as a chart; the number one game gets prominently displayed on the left side while the rest of the countdown is displayed in windowed panels in the foreground. You can choose to view the chart for the week, the month, or even the year.
Navigation has also been simplified and improved. The search function has been completely overhauled; gone is the on-screen keyboard and instead it is replaced with a vertical list of letters. This allows the system to "predict" what you are looking for and to make sure you never have to type in more than three or four characters. Abbreviations are supported, the most popular content will display at the top, and your search term is embodied within the results. Which saves us time since the PSN Store currently offers more than 20,000 pieces of game-related DLCs and more than 100,000 videos, movies and TV shows. Additionally, if you're searching for an add-on, the result will be shown as a descendant from its parent game, so you can see what other packs are available at the same time. Pages scroll from left to right similar to Xbox Live but you won't have to worry about backtracking since the last featured page will take you to the top sellers page.
The new search provides you with so many options as you can sort by game type, price range, release date, accessories and content type. A future update will make it possible to mix and match these too. My favorite update was the product pages. The right hand side of the page is made up of the latest trailers and screenshots of the game, which stream in HD and display in full screen, along with an overview of its features. You can use shortcuts to quickly get to videos, recommendations and also add-ons for a specific title. Add-ons still have their own pages abounding with trailers, but all have a link back to the parent product so you don't have to fumble around and waste time going back.
Overall the new PS Store looks and functions great. The store was developed using HTML5 so that the PSN Store team can enhance the app seamlessly without the need for major firmware updates. The redesigned PS Store is due to roll out starting next week. All PAL territories will get it on October 17th, while the U.S will get it later on October 23rd.

Monday, Dec 10 @ 11am PT #infosec #cloud
It's not surprising or new that cloud security remains a top concern for many organizations. For some time, purveyors of security studies have asked the market, "What's stopping you from adopting cloud?" Invariably one of the most often cited show-stoppers is "security." But how has the security landscape changed within the cloud over the past few years, and are there special tools everyone in IT needs to be equipped with to keep their organization's information safe? Will the cloud mature to the point that essential security applications can be replicated in cloud and if so, when?
I will be moderating a #CloudChat on security December 10, at 11 am PST, where we will discuss these questions and much more on cloud security. To participate, simply follow the hashtag #CloudChat. We have an expert panel that will be leading the conversation including Wendy Nather, Pat O'Day, Kai Roer and Josh Michaels. Please find bios for each participant below the fold.
We look forward to a great conversation and hope you can join us!

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Staying Power; Oates, Ducks Savoring Run to Cup Finals
Byline: Dave Fay, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Those who predicted last fall the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim would be participating in this spring's Stanley Cup Finals belong in the make believe world of Mickey Mouse and Pluto.
Nobody, not even Adam Oates, he of the silky touch and keen mind, will say with a straight face that he foresaw this remarkable event.
"I can't say that I thought that [would happen] this year," Oates said yesterday after the Ducks skated one last time before playing New Jersey tonight in Game1 of the best-of-7 NHL championship series. "I thought the team was a lot better than the record indicated the last couple years. I never thought it would get this far this soon - it shows how close the league is."
In March last year Oates was with the Washington Capitals and looked every bit a man who had been engaged in a rough contact sport for more than a quarter of a century.
He was sent to Philadelphia at the trade deadline last season but wasn't the answer to the varied problems that usually bother the Flyers. He was cut loose and went searching for the right team, his sixth in the NHL. Anaheim called, and so did Ducks superstar Paul Kariya, who said it was a great place to play and was getting better. Oates, who will be 41 this fall, agreed to go West.
Southern California has been nice to Oates. He is tan, the result of many hours spent on the golf course. His hair, with touches of gray creeping into the black he had when he was a Cap, is now brown and shorter than it was. There's not a ripple of body fat on his 190-pound frame.
"Obviously, I never thought I would be here, of course not," he said, referring to Continental Airlines Arena where the first two finals games will be played. "I wanted to go to a team where I could play some minutes and prove I could still play, and in the same sense hopefully let some things that you can bring to the table grow a little bit and help the organization.
"It was a lousy start; I broke my hand out of the gate and missed [15] games but the second half of the year was a lot of fun and our team grew. We got better and better and played real good hockey in the second half [25-12-2-3] - obviously the run has been fantastic. It's great - not to say I told you so - to prove you can still play this game."
Oates, one of the most graceful and gifted centers ever to play the game, is on the fast track to the Hockey Hall of Fame - and a Cup victory would grease those skids. …

Bullet train bidder had overruns
Builder blames past issues on governments changing specs
SACRAMENTO The lowest-bidding partnership for the first segment of California's high-speed rail line includes a firm with a history of cost overruns and costly lawsuits.
The California High Speed Rail Authority on Friday announced that the American joint venture of Tutor Perini/Zachry/Parsons was the "best apparent value" with a low bid of $985 million — below the $1.09 billion bid by the next-lowest bidder.
On construction projects in California, the lowest bidder has a strong advantage in the eventual selection process. Rob Wilcox, a spokesman for the authority, declined to comment on bidders as the matter is finding its way to the authority's board of directors.
"Five world class teams competed for this opportunity, and the process is ongoing," Wilcox said.
The first segment of the estimated $68-billion system is proposed to run 28 miles from Madera to Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley.
According to an August report by the Center for Investigative Reporting, a media partner of U-T San Diego, 11 major projects in the San Francisco Bay Area completed by Tutor in the last dozen years cost local governments $765 million more than they expected, or 40 percent above the initial bids.
A company spokesman did not return a message seeking comment. Tutor said in the August report that attacks against him were unfounded and overruns were caused by contracting agencies changing the projects in midstream.
At San Francisco International Airport, the city alleged in a 2002 lawsuit that the company purposely bid low to win a $626 million expansion contract then charged $980 million for the job. Tutor said there wasn't "a single fact" justifying the city's position but eventually agreed to pay $19 million to settle.
The company's list of projects includes an extension of Bay Area Rapid Transit to the San Francisco airport, the Alameda Corridor rail line and the San Diego Convention Center.
In 1993, the Port of San Diego paid the company $17 million to settle a $53 million lawsuit over the convention center project. In the lawsuit, the company blamed port-hired construction managers for delays that cost the company money.
Kevin Williams, a former San Francisco contracting officer who has testified in court against Tutor, said his experience with the company goes back decades.
"Tom Bradley, the late mayor of Los Angeles, said it best: Ron Tutor was the change-order artist, the king, and he's proven himself to be just that," Williams told U-T Watchdog on Monday.
Williams said Tutor "is going to make up the difference somehow by lowballing. That is as old as history itself in the construction industry."
Kevin Dayton, president and chief executive of Labor Issues Solutions and a critic of the bullet-train project, said the rail authority is going to have to monitor change-order requests very closely.
"People are always accusing each other in the construction industry of pulling the change-order racket: Winning the low bid and then piling up costs afterward," said Dayton, a former lobbyist for Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. "Sometimes it is a matter of architectural errors, but everyone always blames everybody else for it, saying 'the drawings were bad; the engineering was bad, et cetera.'"
Dayton also questioned whether the four losing teams — who are eligible to be paid a $2 million stipend to cover their costs for seeking the contract — might now be required to sign statements agreeing not to publicly challenge the process.
The next-lowest bidder was Dragados/Samsung/Pulice. Officials there could not be reached for comment.
In a statement posted on their website before the announcement, the team said with a combined value of $8 billion in executed design-build projects in the last five years, it offers to the authority and building communities "a proven successful record of compliance, execution and on time delivery of complex infrastructure projects all over the world."

Issues Recede in '08 Contest As Voters Focus on Character
Candidates Pitch Style, Avoid Big Ideas; 'Folks Are Tired of Partisan Paralysis'
Democrats and Republicans have reached the biggest primary day in the nation's history with this much in common: No major candidate on either side has yet offered up ideas or policies that amount to a new ideological course for the country.
As voting unfolds today on this Super Tuesday, the two hottest candidates at the moment -- Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama -- are most striking for their ability to appeal to independent voters in the middle of the ideological spectrum, and for their willingness to compromise to get there.
In other words, the election of 2008, thus far, is less about ideology and ideas and more about governing style and leadership ability -- intangible qualities on which voters are placing a higher priority than on issues. The tenor seems a reflection of the country's mood: Many voters are in revolt against the partisan wars and bouts of gridlock that have gripped Washington in recent years, and are seeking effectiveness above all.
That makes the election debate so far quite different from, say, 1980, when Ronald Reagan settled a debate within the Republican Party by offering a new conservative course of giant tax cuts and big defense spending. It's also different from 1992, when Bill Clinton molded a different Democratic Party by moving to the right on trade, the budget deficit and welfare reform. Those were big policy ideas that also happened to have big political impact.
Yet that doesn't appear to be what voters are seeking this primary season. On the Democratic side, "there is no correlation in the exit polls so far between the issues people think are important and the candidates they vote for," says Andrew Kohut, who conducts polling for the Pew Research Center. "It's about the qualities of the person."
In the South Carolina primary on Jan. 26, exit polls indicated that Democratic voters who said the economy was the most important issue voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Obama in nearly the same proportions as did those who said the war in Iraq or health care were the most important issues. And in the New Hampshire primary, Democrats who said they favored withdrawing all American troops from Iraq as soon as possible -- voters who might have been expected to go toward Sen. Obama, the most staunchly antiwar candidate -- instead broke for Sen. Clinton, 41% to 34%.
On the Republican side, a December Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that the characteristic on which John McCain ranked lowest among Republicans surveyed was: "Shares your position on issues." He scored higher on such traits as being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency, and being honest and straightforward. Nevertheless, Sen. McCain has assumed clear front-runner status and was in a commanding position in national polls going into today's primaries.
One Republican voter looking past issue positions is Rick Page of Wheaton, Ill., who works in commercial real estate. He says the economy is the top issue for him. He has studied former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's positions on the economy, he says, but has picked Sen. McCain for his governing style.
"I like the straight talk," Mr. Page says. "He just lays it out like it is. Sometimes it doesn't sound great. It's not what you want to hear, but you know what he believes."
Once the primaries are past, of course, there will be big differences on key issues between the Republican and Democratic nominees. In particular, there is likely to be a stark debate over the wisdom of the Iraq war, particularly if the nominees are Sen. McCain, who has turned defense of the war into a cornerstone of his candidacy, and Sen. Obama, who has trumpeted his opposition to the war from the outset.
If Sen. McCain is the Republican nominee, that will bring about a "fundamental debate," says William Galston, an analyst at the Brookings Institution who worked in the Clinton White House. "Sen. McCain sees the future of Iraq through our experience in West Germany and South Korea," which became permanent outposts of American power, Mr. Galston says. Any Democratic nominee isn't likely to share that vision, he says.
But that debate will be more about dealing with the residue of a past decision -- the Iraq invasion -- than about charting a new ideological course for America in the world. Indeed, the debates now under way within the two parties are striking for their lack of new direction.
To some extent, voters seem to be looking for candidates who can transcend the paralyzing policy debates of the past decade, a feature of a national government closely divided between Democrats and Republicans. To many voters, precisely what gets done seems less important than the prospect that something actually will get done.
The growing numbers of voters registered as independents, and the tendency of young voters to respond to Sen. Obama's portrayal of himself as a "post-partisan" politician, show the direction public sentiment is moving.
"Results do matter, and competence matters," says Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a supporter of Sen. Obama. "But at the end of the day, I think folks are really tired of this partisan paralysis they see in Washington and want somebody, some CEO, at the helm who can get results."

More on Elections
Gov. Sebelius, a Democrat who stressed the need to transcend partisan politics when she delivered her party's televised response to President Bush's State of the Union speech last week, argues that governors have been ahead of national politicians in moving down this path. The nation has 28 Democratic governors, she notes, and precisely half of them, herself included, come from states President Bush carried in 2004, sometimes by wide margins.
The mind-set of voters may have a lot to do with the historically low job-approval ratings being given these days to both Congress and President Bush. That's why "change," rather than "taxes" or "national defense," has been the most important category of discussion for the leading candidates.
To be sure, the leading presidential candidates have squadrons of policy advisers churning out reams of position papers on all manner of subjects. But those policy positions aren't dominating the debate. They tend to represent modest variations on existing mainstream positions, not bold new statements about what it means to be a liberal or a conservative.
On the Republican side, Sen. McCain and his main foe, Mr. Romney, have clashed mostly over who is more true to the Reaganesque conservative principles established 28 years ago as party pillars. Mr. Romney says he's closer to the Reagan belief in the primacy of tax cuts; Sen. McCain has argued that his more open view of immigration mirrors the Reagan view.
On the Democratic side, there isn't any great ideological difference between Sens. Obama and Clinton. Their policy arguments have largely turned on important but narrow questions such as whose health plan would bring "universal" health coverage and whose would only come close.
Much of the struggle between them has been over such intangibles as ability to inspire, skill at orchestrating compromises in Washington, and experience in bringing about change. Sen. Obama's campaign is largely built upon the promise of "hope" for uniting a fractious Washington.
Deanna Thompson, a 31-year-old independent voter from Huntsville, Ala., says she's decided to vote for Sen. Clinton over Sen. Obama in today's primary. "On issues, they don't vary much, the two of them," Ms. Thompson says. "I like that she's very strong-willed, very strong-minded....She has so much more experience in politics and decision-making."
The boldest policy proposals have come from second-tier candidates. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has proposed eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a consumption tax. Rep. Ron Paul offers a libertarian set of policies that would represent radical change. But those ideas have remained in the background.
The risk for the two parties may be that neither, at least so far, is road-testing the kinds of strikingly different ideas that can recharge the intellectual batteries. For voters, the danger may be that they'll be disappointed and disillusioned in the long run if candidates promising to end partisan discord fail to do so after the election.
Deep Splits
The Brookings Institution's Mr. Galston sees continuing deep splits between the parties on the future of the Bush tax cuts, which Republicans pledge to extend and Democrats want to end, and on whether markets or government action are the best way to fix problems in the health-care system.
"Everybody would like to avoid ideological debates," says Republican Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who heads his party's congressional campaign committee. "The problem is that they are real. Democrats really do want taxes to go higher. They have a different view of the American role overseas than we do."
Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who helps conduct the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, says that for now, "this country is desperately looking to come together.... In that regard, that really isn't about all the kinds of cleavages and small differentials between candidates."

Man of the Match:
Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
Netherlands Midfielder and Man of the Match Arjen Robben: It's a tremendous result, but that wasn't exactly our best performance. Winning was the most important thing. We've yet to turn in anything close to a perfect performance. Everyone thinks we'll play Brazil now, but Chile have a great team too. We're delighted to be through, but I think we'll have to improve for the quarter-finals. If it's Brazil, it'll need to be a little bit better than today. I'm very pleased with my own display. I'm not 100 per cent fit yet, but it was good enough for today.
Slovakia Coach Vladimir Weiss: The Netherlands were tough opponents. We were courageous and we threw our hearts into it. We're proud we made it into the last sixteen, but the better team is through to the next round. The penalty at the end will lighten the mood a little on the plane home.
Netherlands Coach Bert van Marwijk: We played well for the first half-hour. We were good at the start of the second half too, but we failed to add a second goal. (Goaltender) Maarten Stekelenburg then saved us twice at a very important time.
