Capt. Skip Bloomfield of Illinois Marine Towing navigates the Windy City tow boat under a bridge as Paulie Perez keeps watch on deck January 14, 2010 near Lemont, Illinois. Because of the fear of the introduction of Asian Carp into Lake Michigan, the state of Michigan and several other states which border the Great Lakes are seeking an injunction to close locks along the Chicago Shipping and Sanitary Canal which is used to carry a reported 17 million tons of cargo annually to and from the city and serves as a link from Lake Michigan to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. Asian Carp, an invasive species with a voracious appetite, have been migrating north from the Mississippi River since first being introduced to the waterway following flooding in the early 1990s. The Great Lakes states fear introduction of the fish into Lake Michigan will damage the tourism and fishing industries in their states. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Freedom High School student Bree McMahon waits to make the opening kick during the school's Senior Night soccer game on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. Five months ago, Bree at a soccer club carwash fundraiser, a terrible, freakish accident happened. As she was getting ready to wash a car driven by one of her teammates, the driver's foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas. The car surged forward and pinned Bree against a brick wall. Her lower extremities were smashed. Her left leg had to be amputated. Her right leg was saved Ñ barely Ñ but had to be rebuilt. That's why it was so important for her to walk across the field Wednesday at Freedom High School Ñ because she wanted to show her friends, her family, her team and, yes, herself that she is not going to give up. A few months ago, she said, "Watch me come back from this!" she said. "And I will come back from this!". Wednesday night, she did. (Gary W. Green/Orlando Sentinel/MCT)
