(AP) ? Kevin Hogan has taken Stanford to a place Andrew Luck never could.

With the NFL's No. 1 overall draft pick and an elite class of seniors gone, a program that weathered the loss of coach Jim Harbaugh once again faced questions. Stanford coach David Shaw answered every one of them, finding a new clutch quarterback along the way.

Hogan threw for 155 yards and a touchdown and ran for 47 yards and another score, helping eighth-ranked Stanford beat No. 17 UCLA 27-24 in the Pac-12 championship game Friday night. The redshirt freshman won game MVP honors while leading the Cardinal to the Rose Bowl for the first time in more than a decade.

"Character," said Shaw, the Pac-12 coach of the year in his first two seasons. "Even when we don't play well, we still play hard. Our guys played with such heart. We made plays when we needed to make plays."

Hogan's biggest highlight came in the biggest moment of the game.

As a defender barreled into him, Hogan hurled a 26-yard tying touchdown pass to Drew Terrell on third-and-15 early in the fourth quarter. Jordan Williamson kicked his second field goal from 36 yards with 6:49 remaining for the go-ahead score, lifting Stanford to its first conference title since the 1999 season.

Many of the sparse crowd announced at 31,622 rushed the field. Players, wearing their all-black uniforms, danced on the sideline and later carried roses ? or stuck them in their mouths ? while parading around as confetti flew from a stage erected on the field.

What a way to ring in the post-Luck Era: The Cardinal (11-2) will play the winner of the Big Ten title game between Nebraska and Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.

UCLA's Brent Hundley threw for 177 yards and a costly interception that set up a Stanford touchdown. He still almost brought the Bruins (9-4) back, but Ka'imi Fairbairn missed a 52-yard field goal wide left in the closing moments of the disappointing loss.

Hogan completed 16 of 22 passes for a fourth win over a ranked opponent in his fourth straight start since unseating Josh Nunes at quarterback. After the Cardinal rolled past UCLA 35-17 last Saturday at the Rose Bowl, it took all 60 minutes to secure another victory in a rare rematch.

Scattered showers made the grass a bit slick, though the surface never seemed to slow down the Bruins, who ran for 284 yards with Johnathan Franklin (194 yards) leading the way. It was the most yards rushing allowed this season by Stanford, which yielded 198 in an overtime victory at Oregon two weeks earlier.

No matter.

The Cardinal did just enough to win their seventh straight game and advance to their third different BCS bowl in as many seasons. They have won at least 11 games each year, part of a run that began behind Harbaugh and Luck, and now has carried on with Shaw and Hogan.

Stanford had won 10 games only three times before in program history (1992, 1940 and 1926).

"It's been fun," Hogan said.

The Bruins made the final road block more difficult than expected.

UCLA converted a pair of third downs before Franklin burst through the middle for a 51-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. He carried safety Jordan Richards the final 5 yards into the end zone.

Stanford answered quickly. Hogan ran 14 yards on a read-option keeper to convert a long third down, fullback Ryan Hewitt bulldozed through the line on a fourth-and-1 and Stepfan Taylor took a short pass 33 yards, to inches shy of the goal line. On the next play, Hogan faked a handoff and rolled untouched for the tying touchdown.

Taylor finished with 78 yards rushing to eclipse Darrin Nelson's school record of 4,169. Taylor, an outgoing senior, has 4,212 for his career.

Before the Cardinal offense even found their seats on the sideline, Hundley ran 48 yards and scrambled for a 5-yard TD to put UCLA back in front, 14-7.

With the Bruins about to go ahead two scores, Ed Reynolds intercepted Hundley's pass and returned it 80 yards to set up Taylor's short TD run.

Officials ruled that Reynolds, who has returned three interceptions for touchdowns this season, was tackled by Hundley short of the goal line and a replay challenge by Shaw was inconclusive. Reynolds moved into a tie with Oregon State's Jordan Poyer for the Pac-12 lead with six interceptions.

Williamson kicked a 37-yard field goal as the first half expired to give Stanford a 17-14 lead. Fairbairn answered with a field goal from 31 yards on UCLA's opening drive of the second half.

Franklin capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a 20-yard TD run late in the third quarter. That gave the Bruins a 24-17 advantage and put Stanford on the brink of its first home loss this season.

Instead, the Cardinal came back in impressive fashion.

After shaking off the safety, Hogan heaved the long touchdown to Terrell just over the cornerback's head. Terrell caught the pass in the short corner and pointed to the poncho-wearing crowd.

"We knew we had to remain calm and play our style," Hogan said. "We kept to it. We pounded the ball, got field position, got the TD to tie it."

Stanford stuffed UCLA three-and-out and Terrell returned the punt 18 yards to the Bruins 43. That set up Williamson's tiebreaking field goal.

One last UCLA drive nearly sent the game to overtime.

Tight end Joseph Fauria caught a pass over the middle on fourth-and-7 and lateraled the ball to Jordon James to finish a 17-yard completion. That helped set up Fairbairn's field goal with 34 seconds left, and the kick never looked on target.

"There's a lot of tears and a lot of disappointment but I think they should be proud of what we accomplished," first-year UCLA coach Jim Mora said.

Stanford has beaten the Bruins five straight games. UCLA was going for its first conference championship since 1998.

The crowd was the smallest at 50,000-seat Stanford Stadium since the Cardinal drew 30,626 against Sacramento State on Sept. 4, 2010.

"It felt like the whole entire game we controlled our own destiny, controlled this ballgame," Bruins defensive lineman Datone Jones said. "We dominated the line of scrimmage and stopped big runs."

Top court to consider whether to review gay marriage cases

(Reuters) - The nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court are widely expected to decide in a private meeting on Friday to enter the legal fray raging over same-sex marriage.

An announcement to take a case could come as early as Friday afternoon or Monday morning.

Thirty-one of the 50 states have passed constitutional amendments banning gay marriage while Washington, D.C., and nine other states have legalized it, three of them on Election Day, November 6.

At issue is the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, passed by Congress, which only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman. Gay men and lesbians have specifically challenged a part of the law that prevents them from receiving federal benefits that heterosexual couples receive.

The high court is considering requests to review five cases that challenge the law as a violation of the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

Most courts to address the issue, including federal appeals courts in Boston and New York, have found the law's contested provision unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court is expected to take at least one of the challenges, as the court typically reviews lower-court decisions that invalidate a federal law.

Even in states where same-sex marriage is legal, the couples do not qualify for a host of federal benefits because of DOMA.

If the court accepts one of the cases, the oral arguments will likely take place in early 2013, with a ruling expected by the end of the court term in June.

If the court invalidates the law, states could still be free to legalize or deny same-sex marriages on their own terms.

Friday's scheduled court conference is one of the Supreme Court's regular weekly sessions at which it considers what new cases to add to the calendar.

The meetings, attended only by the justices, are held in a small conference room adjacent to the chambers of Chief Justice John Roberts.

The justices vote in order of seniority, and while it takes five of the nine for a majority decision in a dispute, it takes only four votes to add a case to the agenda and schedule oral arguments.

CALIFORNIA'S BAN

The court is also considering whether to review a challenge to California's ban on same-sex marriage, known as Proposition 8, which voters narrowly approved in 2008. The California case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, had sought to establish a constitutional right to marry for gays and lesbians.

The 9th Circuit in February found the gay marriage ban unconstitutional, but it ruled narrowly in a way that only affected California and not the rest of the country, finding that the state could not take away the right to same-sex marriage after previously allowing it. No other state to legalize gay marriage has later banned it.

If the Supreme Court later takes the case, it could follow the 9th Circuit's decision and also rule narrowly, requiring same-sex marriage only in California but not the rest of the country. Or it could recognize a right to marriage equality.

If the justices decline to take the case, the 9th Circuit's opinion would stand, and same-sex marriage would resume in California. That would significantly boost the number of same-sex couples able to marry, given the state's large size.

The Supreme Court is also considering an appeal from the state of Arizona, asking the court to revive a state version of DOMA. The Arizona law, which the 9th Circuit invalidated, eliminated domestic partner healthcare benefits for gay and lesbian state employees. Same-sex couples in Arizona cannot marry, under that state's constitutional ban passed in 2008.

Chevrolets arriving in 2013 to be first cars with Apple Siri integration

General Motors is set to become the first car maker to bring Apple's Siri to its new vehicles, integrating the voice-activated personal assistant into its Chevrolet Spark and Sonic LTZ and RS models that will arrive in early 2013.

Chevrolet made the announcement at the Los Angeles International Auto show on Tuesday, noting that customers with a Siri-compatible iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to connect through the cars' standard Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system to perform tasks with taking their eyes off of the road or their hands off of the wheel when driving.

"Owners simply connect their iPhone with the MyLink radio via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the steering wheel voice activation button to begin and end sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode," General Motors' blog reads.

In doing this, drivers will be able to make voice-activated, hands free calls to contacts on the iPhone, play songs from their iTunes library, switch music sources from iPod mode to radio and vice versa, listen to, compose, and send an iMessage or text message, access Calendar and add appointments, and more.

While in Eyes Free mode, Siri won?t cause the iPhone's screen to light up, and will only answer simple questions that don't require a web page to be displayed as an answer.

"It says a lot about our commitment to small-car customers that Chevrolet has announced that Siri Eyes Free capability will be available in the Spark and Sonic well before the luxury brands," said Cristi Landy, Chevrolet marketing director for small cars. "Safe, easy, reliable and portable connectivity is a top priority for our customers, and Siri complements MyLink's existing capabilities to help deliver an incredible driving experience."

General Motors is also bringing technology experts to its US dealerships in order to teach customers about the gadgets being used in its cars, in a similar way that Apple does with its Genius Bars.

More bad news for Ala. tuition plan; parents irate

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) ? The board that oversees Alabama's prepaid college tuition program got more bad news about the plan's financial outlook Wednesday, and the board's chairman got an earful of outrage from frustrated parents who can't plan for their children's education.

Actuary Dan Sherman said the board's liabilities will exceed its assets by $605 million if it keeps paying full tuition, and it should run out of money in fall 2015. He said if it keeps paying full tuition for more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in college, the board will need to close the program down in about a year if it wants to have enough left to refund the money participants paid to join.

The board is paying full tuition while the Alabama Supreme Court considers the constitutionality of a law that would allow it to pay reduced tuition at 2010 levels and remain operating.

After a board meeting Wednesday, the board's chairman, State Treasurer Young Boozer, met with parents to hear their concerns.

Liz Jones of Andalusia pulled no punches.

"When you get to the Pearly Gates, you are going to answer for this. It is just not right," she said.

Jones said she paid into Alabama's Prepaid Affordable College Tuition plan because it was backed by the state and promised four years of full tuition at a state university for her daughter. Now her daughter is a sophomore at the University of Alabama. If the Supreme Court upholds the reduced rates, Jones said she doesn't know where she will come up with $650 each semester each semester to fill the gap.

Kathy King of Marbury said her family skipped vacations and drove secondhand cars to make sure her two sons had paid up contracts with the tuition plan. She has one son at Auburn University Montgomery and another who's a senior in high school.

King said making up the gap for her oldest son will be hard enough, but she doesn't know what she will do for her youngest because the gap will grow every year due to rising tuition.

"I can't let him go to college and come out with $30,000 to $40,000 in loans. He will never pay it off," she said.

Other parents complained that the state treasurer has started a scholarship program with fees generated by Alabama's other college tuition plan, the CollegeCounts 529 plan, and questioned why that money couldn't be used to shore up PACT. Boozer said they are two separate programs.

The Legislature created PACT to allow families to pay a fixed amount when a child was young and upon graduation from high school receive four years of full tuition at a state university. The program invested the payments and used the income to pay tuition without any problems for nearly two decades. But it ran into financial problems when stock values plunged in 2008 and tuition increased faster than expected.

The program's leaders worked out a settlement with most of the participants to pay tuition at fall 2010 rates, with parents making up the difference. Some parents sued to keep full tuition. They won an Alabama Supreme Court ruling in March saying state law didn't allow reduced tuition payments. At the urging of the PACT board, the Legislature amended state law in April to allow reduced payments. Then the Supreme Court decided to take another look at the case, including determining the constitutionality of the new law. Attorneys filed the final briefs two weeks ago and are awaiting a ruling.

The tuition program has 34,489 participants, and 10,811 were enrolled for the fall semester.

If the program can start paying tuition at 2010 rates by June, it should have enough money to keep operating for all the students, the actuary said.

Boozer said a quick ruling from the Supreme Court allowing reduced tuition payments "is the best possible outcome."

Converting a Structured Settlement into Cash to Use Any Way You ...

Typically, the individual that is looking to receive a quick conversion of their structured settlement into cash is usually one that does not want to wait for years for full payment. As a response, many settlement purchasing companies assist individuals who wish to obtain cash instantly no matter where they are in the execution of a structured settlement. Any individual that receives a lump sum for their structured settlement has the freedom to use the cash anyway they desire including the purchase of a home, car, education, and big-ticket item purchase or to pay down debt.

Converting the Plan into Cash

It is very common for the recipient of the annuity or structured settlement plan to deal with financial difficulty. Others might be finding an opportune investment that offers better returns than the amount made every month on the structured settlement. During these times, the structure settlement owners often consider converting their plan into cash to use the money as a way to increase their investment portfolio.

Purchasing at a Discounted Rate

Any company that is willing to purchase an annuity or structure settlement will do so at a discounted rate, and at the very minimum they can. Typically, the discount they offer is equal to the current bank rates. There are times when the annuity or settlement purchaser requires a higher discount as a way to cover any risks involved to guarantee a profit. Risks that may be involved include untimely payments or a settlement that has not been well seasoned (a long history of active timely payments).

Many Flexible Plans

Companies that purchase structured settlement plans usually do it in a variety of ways. This allows the owner of the settlement to sell off the total annuity, or only a portion. Many flexible plans are available that can be tailored specifically to the requirements of the individual. This way, the individual can receive a lump sum of cash at hand while still receiving timely payments from the annuity.

The course of action taken by the company that purchases the annuity or structured settlement will usually depend upon the immediate requirements of the seller including the payoff of debts, debt consolidation, business venture, or paying on their child?s college fees. Typically, the cash received for structured settlements is usually obtained as a full payment, shared payment or partial payment.

A Full Payment

A full payment of a structured settlement will involve the receipt of the entire lump sum of cash that covers the entire annuity. Usually, it is an option available when an individual has high debts that need to be repaid. Contrary to belief, an annuity that pays out over a longer period of time usually produces a smaller lump sum than those that retire sooner, even if their valued the same. This is due to the value of money as it depreciates over time, due to inflation.

Partial and Shared Payment

A partial payment can be extremely useful when repaying a loan, consolidating debt or other financial challenge were only a limited amount of money is required. Due to the given number of payments, the annuity or structured settlement sold with a lump sum will be only a partial payment of its total value.

A shared payment of an annuity or structured settlement is usually paid out as a lump sum that will paid over a short time. Through a shared payment, the individual can pay off ongoing expenses that will be incurred in the near future including the purchase of a new vehicle, or paying down educational fees.

Individuals that are intending to obtain cash for their annuity or structured settlement will need to have the approval of the court. The paperwork will have to include the wording that complies specifically with state and federal restrictions. Before ever deciding on which buyer to do business with, it is essential to check out their credentials along with the history of the company.

GM Chinese venture to build $1 billion plant in Chongqing

(Reuters) - General Motors Co and its Chinese joint-venture partners said on Wednesday they plan to build a $1 billion auto assembly plant in the city of Chongqing as the GM group bids to remain the leader in the world's largest auto market.

GM, SAIC Motor Corp and Wuling Motors Holdings Ltd said they will begin construction of the plant early next year, pending government approvals. The 6.6 billion Chinese yuan ($1.06 billion) first phase is scheduled to start in 2015.

The plant in southwestern China will have annual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles, but the partners did not disclose what vehicles will be built there. It also will have the capacity to build 400,000 engines annually, a GM spokesman said.

"It's a numbers game," J.D. Power and Associates senior vice president John Humphrey said. "They're doing a phenomenal job, the market continues to grow, vehicle penetration is still so low, GDP per capita continues to increase and the west of China is where a lot of the action is going to come going forward.

"Having production further in the western part to get a foothold there and penetrate the tier two and three and four cities makes perfect sense for them," he added.

The new plant is part of SAIC-GM-Wuling's push to reach a production target of 2 million vehicles per year by the end of 2015. GM invests $1 billion annually in China.

Chongqing, one of China's largest cities, is home to a plant operated by Ford Motor Co and its Chinese partner Changan Automobile Co.

GM, whose Chinese joint venture began building vehicles in 1999, had a leading 14 percent of China's market of 18.5 million vehicles last year - just ahead of Volkswagen AG , which also counts SAIC as a partner.

Earlier this month, GM and its Chinese partners opened a plant in the southern city of Liuzhou for its low-cost Baojun brand. That plant will also eventually have an annual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles.

GM has said it expects vehicle sales in China to hit as many as 20 million this year, and Chief Executive Dan Akerson previously predicted annual industry sales in China will hit 30 million vehicles by the end of the decade.

In addition to the Baojun brand, GM's portfolio in China includes Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Opel, Wuling and Jiefang.

In September, GM opened a large vehicle test track west of Shanghai. GM and its partners invested $252 million to build what officials called the country's largest proving ground.

In addition to Liuzhou, the joint venture currently operates a plant in Qingdao. GM and SAIC, through a different joint venture, also have a plant in Shanghai, and several more in northeast China.

Longoria agrees to deal adding $100 million

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) ? Evan Longoria wants to be with the Tampa Bay Rays for his entire big league career.

The slugging third baseman got his wish Monday when they Rays agreed to a $136.6 million, 10-year contract that adds six guaranteed seasons and $100 million.

"I always wanted to be kind of a benchmark player ... the guy that you could think about or associate with the organization," Longoria said. "My goal from Day One was to be the first player that played their whole career here, to be the first guy that came into the organization and went out in the organization, and played all the years in between. There's no better place for me."

The agreement with the three-time All-Star incorporates the remainder of the 27-year-old's existing contract, which called for him to earn $36.6 million over the next four seasons. The new deal includes a team option for 2023 that could make the deal worth $144.6 million over 11 years.

"It's a very exciting day for us," Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg said. "For Evan to have the confidence in us, and I know the confidence that we have in him, to re-up so to speak for the long haul. This is just an enormous commitment for us."

Longoria said a no-trade provision is not included in the deal, although after the second day of the 2018 season he would have a right to block trades as a 10-year veteran who spent his last five years with the same team.

Just six games into his major league career, Longoria agreed in April 2008 to a $17.5 million, six-year contract that included club options potentially making the deal worth $44 million over nine seasons.

"The significance of this is not lost on anybody," Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. "We're extending that commitment now."

His new deal calls for a $5,000,180 signing bonus ? the $180 is for good luck. Of the signing bonus, $1,000,180 is new money payable Dec. 15 and the rest is pair of $2 million payments on Feb. 15 and June 14. His 2013 salary is reduced from $6 million to $2 million.

Longoria's salaries remain $7.5 million for 2014, $11 million for 2015 and $12.1 million for 2016. The new deal adds salaries of $13 million for 2017, $13.5 million for 2018, $14.5 million for 2019, $15 million for 2020, $18.5 million for 2021 and $19.5 million for 2022.

Tampa Bay holds a $13 million option for 2023 with a $5 million buyout, and escalators could raise the option price to $18 million.

Longoria became just the seventh player with a contract guaranteed through 2020. Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun, Detroit first baseman Prince Fielder, Chicago Cubs outfielder Jorge Soler and Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki have deals covering the next eight years, with Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols' contract running through 2021 and Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto's through 2023.

Tampa Bay selected Longoria as the third overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, making him the first player drafted under Sternberg and Friedman.

Longoria played in just 74 games in 2012 because of a partially torn left hamstring. He underwent a minor surgical cleanup procedure on the hamstring Nov. 20 and is expected to be ready for spring training.

"With the time that we had now, there's no doubt that I'd be able to recover and be at 100 percent or close to it by (the start of) spring training," Longoria said.

Longoria will rehab the leg during the winter and will not participate in next year's World Baseball Classic.

Tampa Bay was 41-44 during Longoria's absence, and 47-27 with him in the starting lineup.

The two-time AL Gold Glove winner and 2008 AL Rookie of the Year ranks second on the Rays career list with 130 home runs, third with 456 RBIs and fourth with 161 doubles. Longoria is one of 11 active players to average at least 25 homers and 90 RBIs during his first five seasons.

Longoria will donate more than $1 million during the contract to the Rays Baseball Foundation, the team's charitable foundation.

Sternberg said this deal does not rule out the possibility of signing other Tampa Bay players to mulityear contracts, such as AL Cy Young Award winner David Price. The Rays were at the bottom of the big leagues in home attendance this year.

"One of the challenges we'll have is figuring out how to take the next step for our organization," Sternberg said.

Tampa Bay and Longoria had brief, preliminary contract talks before the season began and resumed discussions after the season ended.

"We kind of tried to find a middle ground to where we would able to do some things to be able to afford some players to put ourselves in a position to win every year," Longoria said. "And I told them from the beginning that I didn't want to be the one sucking up all the payroll so we can't afford anybody else."

Chris Christie files papers to seek re-election in N.J.

The technical step allows?Christie?to set up a campaign headquarters, hire staff and raise money toward his re-election, said people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

New Jersey Gov.?Chris?Christie?has filed papers to seek re-election next year, while enjoying a popularity surge due to his hands-on response to Superstorm Sandy, the worst natural disaster in state history.

The 50-year-old Republican filed papers with election officials Monday cementing his intention to seek a second term, according to two people close to the governor. The technical step allows?Christie?to set up a campaign headquarters, hire staff and raise money toward his re-election, said the people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak before the governor makes a formal announcement in a few weeks.

Christie?carried the Democratic-leaning state by 86,000 votes in 2009, an upset win over Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine.

Christie, who has become a national figure during his first term, is riding an unprecedented wave of popularity because of how he handled the storm. Even Democrats have applauded his hands-on response. He appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in his trademark fleece pullover this month to lampoon his own nationally televised storm briefings.

About the only criticism directed his way since Superstorm Sandy attacked the coast in late October has come from fellow Republicans who have lambasted him for embracing President Barack Obama as the two toured New Jersey's ravaged coastline six days before the presidential election. Some even blame?Christie?for tipping a close election to the president.

Christie?was the first governor to endorse Mitt Romney; he raised $18.2 million for the GOP nominee and crisscrossed the country as an in-demand surrogate for Republican candidates. Some are still questioning his party loyalty, however, as they did after?Christie?delivered the keynote address at the party's nominating convention in Tampa. Critics saw that August speech as too much about?Christie?and not enough about Romney.

Christie?was courted by some Republican bigwigs to enter the presidential contest early on, but he spurned their overtures and later ruled himself out as vice presidential material as well. Buzz over a?Christie?2016 run has become muted since the governor boarded Marine One with Obama.

So far, no one has stepped forward to challenge him as governor. Several Democrats, most prominently Newark Mayor Cory Booker, have been thinking aloud about running for their party's nomination.

Christie's?reputation for bluntness and penchant for confrontation have made him a YouTube sensation and sometimes obscured policy changes he has championed.

With the help of Democrats who control both houses of the state Legislature,?Christie?took on public worker unions, enacting sweeping pension and health benefits changes that cost workers more and are designed to shore up the underfunded public worker retirement and health care systems long-term. He also enacted a 2 percent property tax cap with few loopholes to try and slow the annual growth rate of property taxes, already the highest in the nation at an average of $7,519 when adjusted for rebates.

Christie's?education reforms have been slower to accomplish, and Democrats have refused to budge on his signature issue for this year, a phased-in 10 percent tax cut. With tax collections underperforming the administration's projections and storm rebuilding threatening to eat further into revenues, Democrats are unlikely to waiver on their position that the state can't afford the cut.
