A rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Frost is about to become Weston's one and only guest at the safe house, and the fledgling agent is determined to handle the situation like a true professional. But by selling U.S. secrets to countries like North Korea, Frost has made more than his fair share of enemies in high places, and shortly after he arrives at the safe house, all hell breaks loose. A small army of gunmen are determined to see Frost dead. Meanwhile, Weston will do everything in his power to protect Frost, regardless of his crimes. Now Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late.

A payphone (alternative spelling: pay phone) is typically a coin-operated public telephone, often located in a telephone booth or a privacy hood, with pre-payment by inserting money (usually coins) or by billing a credit, debit card, or a telephone card. Prepaid Calling Cards also facilitate establishing a call by first calling the provided Toll-free telephone number, entering the card account number and pin, then the desired connection telephone number - also offering the benefit of establishing many telephone number connections during a single payphone session. An equipment usage fee may be charged as additional units, minutes or tarif fee to the collect/third-party, debit, credit, telephone or prepaid calling card when used at payphones.
Payphones are often found in public places, transportation hubs such as airports or train stations, convenience stores, malls, casinos, and on street corners. By agreement with the landlord, either the phone company pays rent for the location and keeps the revenue, or the landlord pays rent for the phone and shares the revenue. Some payphones, particularly at gas stations, are mounted in drive-up kiosk structures that can be used without leaving the vehicle.[citation needed]
Payphone revenues have sharply declined in many places, largely due to the increased usage of mobile phones. Payphone providers have sometimes tried to reverse the decline in usage by offering additional services such as SMS and Internet access, thus making their phone booths into Internet kiosks. The abandonment of payphones by telephone companies has angered some people who consider them a communication staple for low-income and low-credit consumers.
United States[edit]
Payphones were preceded by pay stations, manned by telephone company attendants who would collect payment for calls placed. The Connecticut Telephone Co. reportedly had a payphone in their New Haven office beginning June 1, 1880; the fee was handed to an attendant. In 1889, a public telephone with a coin-pay mechanism was installed at the Hartford Bank in Hartford, Connecticut by the Southern New England Telephone Co. It was a "post-pay" machine; coins were inserted at the end of a conversation. The coin mechanism was invented by William Gray; he was issued a series of patents for his devices, beginning with US#454470 issued Jun 23, 1891 for a 'Signal Device for Telephone Pay-Stations' which rang a bell for each coin inserted. He subsequently founded the Telephone Pay Station Co. in 1891.[1] The "pre-pay" phone debuted in Chicago in 1898.[2]
By 1902 there were 81,000 payphones in the United States.[citation needed] By 1905, the first outdoor payphones with booths were installed. By the end of 1925, 25,000 of these booths existed in New York City alone.[citation needed] In 1960, the Bell System installed its one millionth telephone booth. After the divestiture of Pacific Bell (California) and AT&T in 1984, it was not long before independent stores selling telephones opened up. After that privately owned payphones hit the market.
Sources differ as to whether the peak number of payphones in the United States was 2.6 million in 1995[3] or 2.2 million in 2000.[4] As of 2013, the number is reportedly less than 500,000.[5] The major carriers, AT&T and Verizon, have both exited the business, leaving the market to be served by independent payphone companies.[6]
United Kingdom[edit]
Other countries[edit]
Payphones in countries with unstable currencies have used token coins, available for sale at a local retailer, to activate pay phones instead of legal tender coins. In some cases these have been upgraded to use magnetic cards or credit card readers.
United States[edit]
This section possibly contains original research. (September 2010) |
In recent years, deregulation in the United States has allowed payphone service provided by a variety of companies. Such telephones are called customer-owned coin-operated telephones (COCOT), and are mostly kept in as good condition as compared with a payphone owned and operated by the local telephone company. COCOT contracts are usually more generous to the landlord than telco ones, hence telco payphones on private premises have been more often replaced than street phones. One common implementation is operated by vending machine companies and contains a hard-wired list of non-toll telephone exchanges to which it will complete calls.[citation needed]
In the United States, the coin rate for a local direct-dialed station-to-station call from a payphone has been 50¢ in most areas since mid-2001, for an unlimited number of minutes. During the 1960s and 1970s, the same call in the United States and Canada typically cost 10¢. In inflation adjusted terms, in 2006 USD, this was 68¢ in 1960, and 28¢ in 1979. While some areas only cost 5¢, smaller companies occasionally charged as high as 15¢ to 20¢. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, this price gradually changed to 20¢, and again rose to 25¢ in some areas between 1985 and 1990 (47¢-39¢, inflation adjusted terms as above). In the late 1990s, the price rose to 35¢ in many areas. However, in most of California, for instance, the price is very often 50 cents a call (note that pay telephones rarely, if ever, accept 50 cent pieces (half-dollars)). New York City is a notable exception, where Verizon's and other companies' phones still cost 25 cents for 4 minutes, except in hotels and airports. Verizon tried raising the price to 50 cents, but lowered it to 25 cents after customers started using their competitors' phones.[7]
In the United States, a payphone operator collects an FCC-mandated fee of 49.4¢ from the owner of a toll-free number for each call successfully placed to that number from the payphone. This results in many toll-free numbers rejecting calls from payphones in an attempt to avoid this surcharge; calling cards which require the caller to dial through a toll-free number will often pass this surcharge back to the caller, either as a separate itemized charge, a 50¢ to 90¢ increase in the price of the call, or (in the case of many pre-paid calling cards) the deduction of an extra number of minutes from the balance of the pre-paid card.[citation needed]
Since 2007, the number of payphones in the United States in operation has declined by 48 percent. In July 2009, AT&T officially stopped supporting the Public Payphone service. All remaining payphone contracts were cancelled, equipment at the locations were disconnected and sold, and Call Center located in Evansville, IN was closed. Over 139,000 locations were sold in 2009.
Most payphones in Canada are owned and operated by large telecom providers such as Bell, Telus and SaskTel. In the last 20 years customer-owned coin-operated telephones (COCOT) have also appeared in the market, but their numbers are smaller due to emergence of cellular phones.
Pricing on most local payphone calls is now 50 cents CAD, having increased from 25 cents in the past few years. Pay phones in Alberta were 35 cents for a time, but in most jurisdictions the price simply doubled. Newer phones allow users to use calling cards and credit cards.
Dialing 0 for operator and 911 calls are still free.
United Kingdom[edit]
In the UK, as in the USA, payphones have been deregulated. The great majority of them are still operated by British Telecom but there are other providers, mostly in urban areas. Manchester, London, Cardiff and Glasgow at the turn of the 21st century have a greater concentration of non-BT payphones. BT has steadily been removing payphones throughout the UK since 2000 where BT deem the kiosks not to be profitable, and have few or no calls made in any given financial year.
- Kiosk adoption
BT however is offering local communities the option of adopting [8] the iconic Red K6 Kiosks due to strong opposition from the communities that the kiosks reside in. This will mean the removal of the phone, leaving the empty kiosk in-situ. A bizarre feature of the adoption contract is section 5.5.4 which prohibits the re-installation of a telephone in the kiosk.[9] BT has been asked to delete section 5.5.4 (because it is anti-competitive) but it has refused. Ofcom has been asked to refer the matter to the Competition Commission but Ofcom has refused to make the referral.
- Sponsored kiosk
Another option BT has provided is the sponsored kiosk,[10] that will retain the phone service, and retain the kiosk for an annual fee of around £300 +VAT, whether it is the Red K6 or the newer Aluminium and Glass Kiosks that cannot be adopted.
- Pricing
From June 1, 2010, BT payphones have £0.60 minimum charge which buys the first 30 minutes of any direct dialled national geographic call. Previously the minimum charge was £0.40 for the first 20 minutes of any direct dialled national geographic call. Then before November 2006 the minimum charge was £0.30, before 2004 it was £0.20 and before 2000 it was £0.10. However, making a call using a credit/debit card incurs a minimum charge of £1.20, and includes 1 minute of call time, £0.20 per minute thereafter, as of September 2011.[11]
A BT Chargecard[12] is a considerably cheaper way to call from any UK landline, including Payphones. Other cards which can be used are the Post Office phonecard,[13] Tesco international calling card[14] and many other telephone cards which can be bought from newsagents.
The high cost of calls is a deterrent to use and has led to allegations of closure by stealth.
The majority of payphones on the street and in buildings in Japan are installed and maintained by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT).

"As a friend and colleague, I offer my support and help to him in any way I can," Risch said in a statement. "Senator Crapo has worked hard on behalf of Idahoans for many years and I have full confidence that Senator Crapo will continue his dedicated and unselfish service to the people of Idaho."
Risch is Catholic.
Idaho's two U.S. representatives, Raul Labrador and Mike Simpson, are Mormons, though Simpson has been open with constituents and media about drinking and smoking cigarettes.
Neither Republican immediately responded to a request for comment.
Idaho politicians getting arrested for drunken driving is nothing new: Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter was arrested in the early 1990s, when he was lieutenant governor; Democratic state Sen. Edgar Malepeai of Pocatello was arrested for DUI in 2009; and former state Sen. John McGee, a Caldwell Republican, was arrested on Father's Day 2011 after driving drunk and taking a car that didn't belong to him.
But none of them were Mormon.
Crapo raised the stakes by projecting an image of a diligent member of the faith and - at least outwardly - following church founder Joseph Smith's 1833 revelation in which he advised members that "strong spirits are not for the belly."
The U.S. Senate adjourned last week and wasn't expected to resume until Wednesday; it's unclear why Crapo had remained in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Christmas holiday.
According to the police report, he was alone in his car. It wasn't immediately clear where he'd been or where he was going when he was stopped.
Crapo was a Mormon bishop at 31 and has showed no public signs of a break from his church's teachings.
Church members must follow its guidance - including its rules on alcohol - to participate fully in the faith's rituals, including temple activities that are central to the religion.
Phone calls Monday to Mormon headquarters in Salt Lake City were not returned.
Crapo, first elected in 1998, is expected to take over the top Republican spot next year on the Senate Banking Committee. He also serves on the Senate's budget and finance panels and was a member of the so-called "Gang of Six" senators who worked in 2011 toward a deficit-reduction deal that was never adopted by Congress.
The 2010 bill he sponsored on cutting taxes for brewers ultimately stalled.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- Despite still feeling the after-effects of an Olympic journey that ended with two skeet gold medals in London, the USA Shooting Team is already busy preparing for the upcoming 2013 season. Based on shooting performances from the Fall Selection Match in Kerrville, Texas, 20 athletes have been identified to participate in the season's first two International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cups.
First up are preparatory and developmental training camps in Puerto Rico and Mexico, December 10 - 17 that will feature 23 National, Junior, Development and Junior Olympic shotgun athletes including 2012 Olympians Corey Cogdell (Eagle River, Alaska) and Frank Thompson (Alliance, Neb.). The camps will focus on skill development and an introduction to the new shooting rules, all in warm-weather training environments. Providing coaching instruction for the Puerto Rico camp will be National Team coach Todd Graves and assistant Jay Waldron while another USA Shooting Team assistant coach, Tommy Lee Browning, handles coaching duties in Mexico.
"I'm excited to get some of our athletes to Puerto Rico and Mexico to work on developing their shooting skills and coming together as a team," said Graves, a four-time Olympian and 2000 Olympic bronze medalist in skeet. "We're putting greater emphasis on the athlete/coach relation and using 2013 as a development and instructional process."
The first of four ISSF Shotgun World Cups will take place among the spring break crowds in Acapulco, Mexico, March 15-24. The second World Cup of the season will require travel over to the United Arab Emirates, April 16-25. Each of the season's first two World Cups will feature one of the top-two finishers from the Fall Selection Match plus one of the top-two finishers from the junior division in that competition. Graves is looking at 2013 to develop young shooters and give them opportunities to compete on a World stage early in the quad in order to instill international experience in a talented group of junior shooters.
Headlining the selected athletes are Men's Skeet Olympians Vincent Hancock (Eatonton, Ga.) and Frank Thompson (Alliance, Neb.). After defending his Olympic gold in London, Hancock is the king of the skeet world currently while Thompson nearly made an Olympic final in his first Games, finishing eighth.
The World Cup Selectees include:
Skeet (8)
Vincent Hancock (Eatonton, Ga.)
Frank Thompson (Alliance, Neb.)
Haley Dunn (Eddyville, Iowa)
Caitlin Connor (Winnfield, La.)
TJ Bayer (College Station, Texas)
Hayden Stewart (Columbia, Tenn.)
Brandy Drozd (Bryan, Texas)
Morgan Craft (Muncy Valley, Pa.)
Trap (8)
Brian Burrows (Fallbrook, Calif.)
Matt Gossett (Springville, Ala.)
Ashley Carroll (Solvang, Calif.)
Kimberly Bowers (Lafayette, Calif.)
Bradley Beckmann (Chesterfield, Mo.)
Dakotah Richardson (Godley, Texas)
Erin Danhausen (Swartz Creek, Mich.)
Miranda Wilder (Diana, Texas)
Double Trap (4)
Billy Crawford (Johnstown, Ohio)
Derek Haldeman (Sunbury, Ohio)
Ian Rupert (Muncy, Pa.)
Christian Wilkosky (Centerburg, Ohio)
The final two World Cups on the ISSF calendar includes Nicosia, Cypress in June before closing out the World Cup Series with a July visit to Granada, Spain, site of the 2014 ISSF World Shooting Championships. That Granada World Cup will have the shotgun squad meeting up with their rifle and pistol teammates in the only combined World Cup competition on the ISSF calendar in 2013. The shooting calendar also includes Fall and Spring National Selection matches, the USA Shooting National Championships, the World Clay Target Championships (Sept. 14-25, Lima, Peru) and the World Cup Finals in October.
"The athletes participating in the first two World Cups earned their right by performing under pressure earlier this fall," Graves stated. "I feel it's important to begin establishing depth in all our ranks which is the reason we're inviting the top junior shooters to the team as well. After Spring Selection, there might be a whole different crop of shooters but we're going to be better down the road by the participation of so many young, up-and-coming shooters early in 2013."

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Diabetics, an under Diagnosed ComplicationPosted: Monday, June 20, 2005In the Pathophysiology of GERD, a major mechanism that promotes reflux of gastric contents into esophagus is delayed gastric emptying, a frequent complication of diabetes with neuropathy. In a prospective study 150 type 2 diabetes patients between the ages of 18 and 82 attending a endocrine clinic were given a questionnaire to fill out. A junior physician helped the patients to understand the questions. The questionnaire included the presence of the 5 most frequent symptoms of GERD that included heartburn (at least 1/week), hoarseness of voice, chronic cough, chest pain and regurgitation. Patients with angina, COPD, asthma, cough due to ACEI or preexisting GERD prior to onset of diabetes were excluded. Data are expressed as Mean SD, Student t and Chi-square were used for statistical analyses.
40% (61/150) patients reported having at least one of the symptoms of GERD and 30% (45/150) reported having heartburn at least once a week. The prevalence of GERD and heartburn is higher in patients with neuropathy than in patients without neuropathy (P<0.05). Although GERD affects only 14% of Americans, the overall prevalence of GERD symptoms in diabetics (30%) is much greater . In type II diabetes, the prevalence of GERD symptoms is higher in patients with neuropathy (58.7%) than patients without neuropathy (32.7%). Heartburn is noted in 42% of patients with neuropathy versus 24% patients without neuropathy. Since experience of heartburn is likely to be blunted by neuropathy the actual incidence of GERD may even be higher. Source: Diabetes In Control.com: |

monty, stop trying to cast teen namor! we aren't going for tsunami, we're going for sub-mariner!
Jason Momoa did not attend my high school.
60% percent of the time, Ant-Man beats Doom every time
i like your last choice. he's gruff in the face, but man he was great on game of thrones. he already has the eyebrows....
I have some interesting, young-ish choices for Namor.
Ian Somerhalder
Zachary Quinto
Jake Gylenhaal
Jonathon Rhys Meyers
Josh Holloway
You are an apocalypse dreaming of butterflies
we are a patchwork of miracles.
LOL! Okay, I won't burst your bubble. However, I saw Sasha Roiz on Castle last night, and I'm not so sure... but I was told I need to see his BSG performance.
Ian Somerhalder has an interesting look, but I wasn't that impressed with him in Lost. I haven't seen Vampire Diaries. I do love Josh Holloway, and he's could handle the emotional intensity, but I see him more as Gambit.
A lot of people like Zachary Quinto for Namor, but I don't really see it. Yes, I'm picky when it comes to Namor.
So assuming that the Silver Surfer is almost definitely out due to FOX (here's hoping they use the rights to eventually make him the herald of Galactus instead of for a freaking cloud this time...)
Do you stick with just the original Defenders trio of Strange, Namor, and Hulk? Do you add Valkyrie? Nighthawk? Someone else?
In no way do I believe a Defenders movie is possible.
That being said, I agree, as much as I think Dwayne Johnson is great, he can't be Namor, his tenure as the wrestling icon known as the Rock will over shadow the role. It would be better to do like they got a actor of smaller recognition to play the role. They don't have to be wrestling style big, but they should be cut or capable of getting there as there will be multiple scenes without their shirt.

College basketball: Rick Pitino, Louisville top Richard Pitino, FIU
Peyton Siva's career highs of five three-pointers and 12 assists helped No. 5 Louisville roll past Florida International, 79-55, on Wednesday night at Louisville, Ky.
It was the first meeting between Cardinals coach Rick Pitino and Richard Pitino, his son and Panthers' counterpart. The younger Pitino, 30, served two stints as a Louisville assistant before taking over for Isiah Thomas at FIU this season.
Siva finished with 15 points in posting his first double-double since the season opener.
Wayne Blackshear tied his career best with a game-high 18 points. Chane Behanan added 14 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double this season.
The Cardinals (10-1) shot 49 percent and hit 12 three-pointers, tying a season high. They also committed just 11 turnovers in winning the 11th annual Billy Minardi Classic, named for the Pitino brother-in-law who died in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
Tymell Murphy scored 12 points and 12 rebounds for FIU.
Russ Smith added 14 points for Louisville, which held the Panthers to just 33 percent shooting and forced 14 turnovers leading to 25 points.
However, the story of this game was Pitino vs. Pitino.
The younger Pitino, whose second stint assisting his father included last season's Final Four trip, drew a nice cheer from the crowd of 21,411 during introductions. Before that was a moment in which their mannerisms clearly had been passed on, as each stood during the national anthem with their hands folded in front of them below their waists.
Father and son also had their stomping moments, though the elder Pitino's pounding was louder and more frequent by comparison. Richard Pitino seemed more like Billy Donovan, the Florida coach and former Pitino assistant, but still had his team's attention, showing his disapproval with a piercing stare similar to his dad.

Hi - I am new to these forums so I hope this is the right place for this. I downloaded an image of a web template to look at the colours more closely before possibly purchasing it and when I opened the image in CS4 it had a bunch of triangular blocked out areas - kind of like a mask of some sort I think. I then tried creating a new document and opening an existing, unrelated PSD file and now they have the same triangular blocked out areas. Help please!!!
Sorry for the delay - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success... I also opened a different pre-existing .PSD and it had a different display issue than this one. The image below is from a new document creation, but the same pattern still showed up in a document that I had initially opened.

Honeybee Gardens Pressed Mineral Powder Geisha -- 0.26 oz
I love the honeybee products for their great prices and clean ingredients. This color makes a great base for my uneven skintone.
They use very little packaging, so is good for the environment, too!
August 2, 2013
Feels like you are wearing nothing
This makeup goes on smoothly, I like to use a make-up sponge. It provides good coverage that isn't noticeable as makeup. Lightweight, non-greasy. Would buy again. It doesn't make me break out as do other chemically-ridden foundations/powders.
March 29, 2013
High Quality Pressed Powder
I'm normally a Laura Mercier user, and this powder is comparable in my opinion. It's very rich, almost creamy, and has great coverage for a pressed powder. This is NOT foundation, but a pressed powder, meaning it's used to SET your foundation and touch up shine during the day.
Now the shade.....Geisha is just that: Geisha light. I have fair skin (not Nicole Kidman fair, but still fair to light) and Geisha does apply lighter than in looks in the compact, and is a bit too light for me. So I prefer to apply with a brush for lighter coverage. If I use a sponge it looks much lighter and doesn't match the skin on my neck or chest. I will finish using Geisha, but will try Supernatural next.
About the compact....instead of buying the HBG compact, I removed out the powder pan from my used up Laura Mercier compact and this one fit right in (I believe this is a standard-size square compact). If I like Supernatural, I will eventually buy the HBG compact b/c it has the separate compartment for the puff, which I like. I do recommend this pressed powder and I love the fact that it has no dangerous/toxic ingredients. The low price is another incentive to try this.....
February 2, 2013
love that it is natural
good coverage, very matte, gentle, but cakes up in fine lines.
September 4, 2012
Love it!
This foundation feels great on, provides great coverage and blends wonderfully with my skin tone. I feel like Im going out with no make up at all but my skin looks awesome! Only thing is I find it runs out pretty quickly! This size lasts me about 6 weeks. But the price is right so I cant complain. Love it! :)

Pink and Bette Midler at 2010 HRC National Dinner
(Photo by Aram Vartian)
At the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner, held Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010 at the Washington, DC Convention Center, the legendary Bette Midler presented pop star Pink with the organization's Ally for Equality Award. Introducing Pink, Midler said, "Wherever she appears, Pink expresses her point of view -- one of fairness, kindness, tolerance and equality. She sets an example for all of us knowing that none of us are human until each and every one of us is recognized fully as a human being."
"We all want to be loved, accepted and understood -- and unfortunately the human race hasn't figured this out yet," Pink said in her acceptance speech. "But that's where we thank the HRC for helping us along."

I am so pleased with the formulation, the color payoff, the packaging and the price that from this shades I already own 23 and I am gonna keep purchasing more. They are AMAZING, love them!
I'm very upset that my favorite shade (305, Copper Charm) has been discontinued!! I used that stuff like crazy!!! I have found nothing comparable, so I guess it's time to switch brands!
I own 4 or 5 of these but if there is only one to love it would be fall limited edition Midnight Plum. Its so dark and perfect! you can turn it into a dark cherry if you pair it with a red lip gloss. Wish I could have it again once I run out.
I have this in deepest cherry 420 and I love the color. I don't like to wear lipstick because they're usually too dry on my lips, but this one is really rich and creamy.
I bought this lip color in 625 Are You Red-dy. I love the color; it is very bold. I am disappointed that it doesn't stay on very long. I can't even rub my lips together without the color splotching. I just can't figure out how to get the color to stay on. The color is great though.

This review article will present a gamut or pattern approach to the diagnosis of esophageal diseases. 1,2 For most patients, analysis of the radiographic findings in combination with consideration of the clinical history leads to the diagnosis or a graded differential diagnosis. 3
The normal esophagus is a muscular tube covered by nonkeratinized squamous epithelium. The esophagus lies in the neck and mediastinum. The aorta, left mainstem bronchus, and posterior border of the heart impress upon the wall of the esophagus. During double-contrast esophagography, the barium-etched contour is visible as a smooth, white line (figure 1). En face, the barium-coated esophageal mucosa is smooth and featureless, fading to gray. 1 The squamocolumnar junction with the stomach may be seen as a zigzag line, also known as the Z line.
A wide variety of diseases are associated with small esophageal ulcers <1 cm in diameter (Table 1). 4-12 The most common causes of radiographically diagnosed small esophageal ulcers are viral-induced esophagitis, drug-induced esophagitis, and reflux esophagitis.
Herpes simplex virus type I most frequently causes esophagitis in immunosuppressed patients, although immunocompetent patients are affected occasionally. On barium studies, small, discrete superficial ulcers are seen on a background of normal mucosa (figure 2). 4-6 The ulcers may have a round, stellate, linear, or serpentine configuration. Rarely, herpes esophagitis may develop in immunocompetent patients. In this self-limited form of herpes esophagitis, the ulcers manifest as smaller, punctate collections of barium. 7
Drug-induced esophagitis is primarily a contact esophagitis caused by a variety of medications, including tetracycline or its derivatives, quinidine, potassium chloride, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and alendronate sodium. If little or no water is used during ingestion of these medications, pills may transiently lodge in the esophagus at the level of normal extrinsic impressions, including the aortic arch, the left mainstem bronchus, and the left atrium. Typically, small, shallow ulcers will be clustered together in the mid-esophagus. 8,9 These ulcers usually heal within 7 to 10 days after cessation of the offending medication.
In patients with small esophageal ulcers, the clinical history provides the key to the diagnosis. Patients with herpes esophagitis are usually immunosuppressed. If drug ingestion is the cause of the ulcer, a clinical history of using the offending medication can usually be elicited. Finally, patients with reflux-induced ulcers usually have a history of heartburn, and the ulcers are usually located in the distal esophagus near the esophagogastric junction. These patients also usually have other radiographic findings of reflux esophagitis. 2
The most common causes of large esophageal ulcers, those >1 cm in diameter, are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in immunocompromised patients, primarily patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 13-16 HIV ulcers sometimes occur near the time of clinical presentation and seroconversion. The ulcers in CMV and HIV esophagitis (figure 3) tend to be large, flat, ovoid-shaped barium collections or barium-etched craters. 14,16 Endoscopic biopsy specimens are necessary to distinguish CMV or HIV ulcers, as the treatment for each of these infections is different. Esophageal ulceration due to HIV is a diagnosis of exclusion, so this diagnosis can be made only when endoscopic biopsies, brushings, and cultures are negative for CMV.
Other common causes of large esophageal ulcers include carcinoma (figure 4), drug-induced ulcers, or Barrett's esophagus 3,17,18 (Table 1). However, these ulcers tend to be deeper than viral-induced ulcers, and their edges are frequently thickened and lobulated. In such cases, biopsy specimens may be necessary to exclude neoplasia.
Mucosal nodules and plaques are elevated lesions of varying size. Plaques are usually discrete, irregular or ovoid elevations that barely protrude above the mucosal surface. Nodules are smaller elevations and are more rounded than plaques. The morphology of the elevations in combination with the clinical history allows a specific diagnosis to be made in most patients (Table 2).
Candida esophagitis most frequently manifests as numerous small, discrete, ovoid or linear plaque-like elevations aligned parallel to the longitudinal folds of the esophagus (figure 5). 19 In mild-to-moderate Candida esophagitis, the plaques are separated by intervening segments of normal mucosa. In more severe cases, the plaques may carpet the esophagus. In even more severe cases, confluent plaques, pseudomembranes, and barium burrowing beneath the inflammatory detritus may produce a grossly irregular appearance of the contour in profile and the mucosal surface en face, the so-called "shaggy esophagus." When plaques and pseudomembranes slough, large ulcers may form, but these are almost always present on a background of diffuse plaque formation.
Candida albicans is the most common cause of infectious esophagitis. Immunosuppression is the most frequent predisposing factor. Patients usually complain of dysphagia or odynophagia. Thrush in the oral cavity or pharynx is seen in about one-half of patients. Candida esophagitis may also develop in patients with severe esophageal motility disorders, such as scleroderma, or in patients with esophageal obstruction and stasis due to achalasia or carcinoma.
Small nodules and plaques of varying sizes may also be seen in the esophagus in patients with glycogenic acanthosis, a common degenerative condition. 20,21 However, the plaques of glycogenic acanthosis are usually seen in the upper or midesophagus in a random distribution. In this disorder, glycogen is accumulated in the cytoplasm of cells in the upper portion of the squamous epithelium. Glycogenic acanthosis typically occurs in elderly individuals who have no esophageal symptoms and who do not have a history of immunosuppression or a condition predisposing to stasis. In contrast, patients with Candida esophagitis are usually symptomatic, and the plaques tend to be more linear in shape and aligned longitudinally along the folds.
In some patients with reflux esophagitis, tiny mucosal nodules are seen (figure 6). 2 However, these nodules are more ill-defined and less discrete than the plaques in Candida esophagitis. The nodules of reflux esophagitis also are more confluent and are located in the distal esophagus, usually in patients with gastro-esophageal reflux and hiatal hernias. Reflux esophagitis is more frequently characterized by poorly defined tiny mucosal elevations, termed mucosal "granularity" (figure 6B). 1,2,22,23 This granularity may be associated with tiny or linear ulcers and thickened, nodular folds. These changes are also usually associated with a hiatal hernia and fluoroscopically detected gastroesophageal reflux. Some patients with reflux esophagitis have such severe inflammation that plaque-like pseudomembranes may eventually form. 24
A focal area of confluent mucosal nodularity may be worrisome for superficial spreading carcinoma, a cancer confined to the mucosa and submucosa (figure 7). 25,26 However, the nodules are not as discrete as those in Candida esophagitis, nor are they separated by normal intervening mucosa. Although most focal areas of mucosal irregularity will probably be caused by glycogenic acanthosis, an area of focal mucosal nodularity should be biopsied to exclude superficial spreading carcinoma.
It is also difficult to distinguish a focal area of mucosal nodularity from the surface pattern termed "reticular mucosa," which is seen in Barrett's esophagus. 27 Barrett's esophagus is an acquired condition in which there is progressive columnar metaplasia of the esophagus due to long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease. The reticular mucosal pattern resembles the areae gastricae of the stomach, with a fine, net-like web of barium-filled grooves surrounding small tufts of mucosa (figure 8).
The longitudinal folds of the esophagus are composed of mucosa and submucosa and are best seen when the esophagus is underdistended. Therefore, abnormalities of folds reflect disease in the mucosa and submucosa (Table 3). In patients with reflux esophagitis, thickened esophageal folds are frequently seen when the esophagus is collapsed. 1,2 These patients usually have other findings of reflux disease, including gastro-esophageal reflux, a granular mucosa, and hiatal hernia. In contrast, esophageal varices are serpentine, with a smooth surface (figure 9). Varices may change in size with varying degrees of esophageal distention and patient position. If the folds are rigid, fixed, or irregular, however, the varicoid form of squamous cell carcinoma must be excluded (figure 10). 28
The differential diagnosis of an esophageal stricture depends on the morphology and location of the stricture as well as on the clinical history. Benign strictures typically manifest as smooth, tapered areas of concentric narrowing (figure 11). 1 Asymmetric scarring may result in sacculation, flattening, or other deformity of the wall. In contrast, malignant strictures are manifest as eccentric narrowings, thicker on the side where the tumor originated. 23 The mucosal surface is irregular, with nodules of varying size disrupting the surface and barium being trapped in areas of ulceration. The margins of malignant strictures often appear abrupt and shelf-like (figure 12). Unlike malignant lesions in the colon, however, malignant esophageal lesions may have sloped or tapered margins, as the soft esophageal submucosa and muscularis propria provide little resistance to the longitudinal spread of tumor. In some patients, a plaque-like indentation of the lumen is seen (figure 13). If any mucosal irregularity or plaque-like flattening is identified in the region of an esophageal stricture, endoscopy and biopsy are required to exclude carcinoma.
The most common causes of short distal esophageal strictures are gastroesophageal reflux and carcinoma (Table 4; figures 11 and 14). Long distal esophageal strictures are often due to severe acid exposure related to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, prolonged nasogastric intubation, or alkaline reflux esophagitis (Table 4). Some patients with Crohn's disease may also develop long distal esophageal strictures. A wide variety of conditions cause midesophageal strictures (Table 4). 29-34 The combination of the clinical history, physical examination findings, and radiographic appearance of the strictures often enables a specific diagnosis.
Strictures related to reflux esophagitis are usually seen in the distal esophagus. Some reflux-induced strictures are smooth and tapered (figure 11). However, other reflux-induced strictures are associated with enough asymmetric scarring to cause sacculation in the area of tapering. These sacculations due to scarring should not be confused with ulcers. Other reflux-induced strictures may be associated with such severe scarring and esophageal shortening that a hiatal hernia is even present in the erect position.
In the presence of a hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux, a benign-appearing midesophageal stricture or reticular pattern should be strongly suggestive of Barrett's esophagus. 30 Strictures associated with Barrett's esophagus are more frequently seen in the distal esophagus, however. Patients with distal esophageal strictures and reflux changes have a moderate risk of Barrett's esophagus, between 20% and 40%. 30 Patients with reflux esophagitis alone have about a 10% risk of Barrett's esophagus. 30 Conversely, a very low risk of Barrett's esophagus is present if the esophageal mucosa is smooth, if a stricture is not seen, and if only gastroesophageal reflux or a hiatal hernia is present.
Schatzki rings are of unknown etiology, possibly related to gastro-esophageal reflux. They are thin (1 to 3 mm in thickness), symmetric rings at the esophagogastric junction, frequently seen above a small hiatal hernia (figure 15). 31 Schatzki rings are best demonstrated in the prone position and are sometimes detected only with a solid bolus. 32 Rings <13 mm in luminal diameter invariably cause dysphagia, whereas rings 13 to 20 mm in luminal diameter may or may not cause dysphagia.
Acute radiation damage causes small ulcers, mucosal granularity, and abnormal peristalsis. 11 Chronic radiation strictures are usually smooth and tapered.
Caustic ingestion can result in one or more long strictures in the mid- esophagus or diffuse esophageal narrowing. Stricture formation occurs as early as 4 to 6 weeks after ingestion of a caustic agent. Any irregularity in a long-standing lye stricture should be suspicious for esophageal carcinoma until proven otherwise.
In the classic form of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis, numerous 1- to-3-mm flask-shaped outpouchings are associated with a long cervical or upper thoracic esophageal stricture (figure 16). 33 In the more common form of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis, however, the outpouchings are associated with a short, distal, reflux-induced stricture. 34
Primary or metastatic cancers are frequent causes of midesophageal strictures. Some squamous cell carcinomas have an elongated, circumferentially infiltrating appearance (figure 12). An eccentric, annular lesion may be seen with a coarsely lobulated contour and barium trapped within tumor nodules. Adenocarcinomas of the esophagus arise in dysplastic columnar epithelium within Barrett's mucosa. Adenocarcinomas are found most frequently in the distal esophagus. Adenocarcinomas can have an infiltrative (figure 14), plaque-like (figure 13), ulcerative, or polypoid appearance. Unlike squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas have a marked tendency to invade the gastric cardia and fundus. Metastases to the esophagus most frequently involve the subcarinal region due to direct invasion by tumor from subcarinal lymph nodes (figure 17) or from the left mainstem bronchus.
A wide variety of polypoid masses are seen in the esophagus (Table 5). 35-41 Polypoid masses are demonstrated radiographically as radiolucent filling defects in the barium pool (figure 18) or as barium-etched lines within the esophageal lumen. Polypoid masses must first be distinguished from foreign bodies (figure 19). The clinical history is crucial for the diagnosis of foreign bodies. These patients typically complain of abrupt-onset dysphagia or odynophagia during eating and the sensation that food is stuck in the substernal region. The polypoid filling defect of the foreign body may be associated with an irregular meniscus of barium superiorly. Perforation is uncommon, usually occurring after the impaction has been present longer than 24 hours. A repeat esophagram should be performed after the foreign body has been removed to exclude an esophageal stricture or motor disorder as the cause of the food impaction.
Squamous papillomas are the most common benign mucosal tumor of the esophagus (figure 18), appearing as small, sessile, slightly lobulated polyps. The esophagus is one organ of the gastrointestinal tract in which true leiomyomas form. Most tumors arising in the mesenchyme are undifferentiated gastrointestinal stromal tumors of unknown malignant potential. Leiomyomas, however, are true proliferations of smooth muscle and are the most common submucosal mass in the esophagus. Granular cell tumors are another rare cause of submucosal masses in the esophagus. 36
Polyps at the esophagogastric junction are frequently related to chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease, termed "inflammatory esophagogastric" or "sentinel" polyps. 40 These polyps are smooth-surfaced enlargements atop a thickened rugal fold at the gastric cardia. If any surface irregularity is seen, however, endoscopy must be performed to exclude a malignant tumor at the cardia or in Barrett's esophagus.
Some squamous cell carcinomas have a polypoid (figure 20) rather than infiltrating appearance. 38,39 Small cell carcinomas are rare tumors that typically manifest as small, centrally ulcerated masses in the midesophagus. 37 Spindle cell carcinomas are usually large, polypoid masses that expand the esophageal lumen without causing significant obstruction. 39 Despite the relatively noninfiltrating appearance of spindle cell carcinomas, 5-year survival rates in these patients are as dismal as in those patients with squamous cell carcinomas. Rarely, primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus may be manifest as a bulky, polypoid intraluminal mass indistinguishable from spindle cell carcinoma. 41 AR

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the garlic on a square of aluminum foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic tightly in the foil and bake until soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Unwrap the garlic and cool. Gently press the cloves between your thumb and forefinger to release the softened garlic into a small bowl. Set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and parsnips and simmer until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the vegetables and force through the medium disk of a food mill or ricer into a bowl, or alternately mash with a potato masher in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic cloves, butter, salt and pepper and mix well, and stir in the cream a bit at a time to achieve the desired consistency. Serve immediately, or chill, covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, reheating before serving. Yield: 6 servings

Connecticut College News
Connecticut College chamber music concert presents drama-inspired works
02/6/2009NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Connecticut College music department will present a chamber music concert featuring faculty Tom Labadorf and Anthea Kreston Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cummings Art Center, Evans Recital Hall, on the Connecticut College campus. Labadorf and Kreston will be joined by pianist Annette Shapiro to present a program of drama-inspired works. Temptation is the theme of the first half, which begins with Dan Welcher´s "Dante Dances" for clarinet and piano, a piece that comically integrates ballroom dance themes with Boccaccio´s classic story of Dante´s decent into Hell. The temptation of fame and fortune is symbolized by Kreston´s violin in Stravinsky´s "A Soldier´s Tale." The second half features Labadorf in an unaccompanied work by Shulamit Ran called "Monologue for Clarinet" and concludes with Bela Bartok´s "Contrasts," performed by all three musicians. Labadorf has performed under the batons of such notable conductors as Aaron Copland, Karel Husa, Pierre Boulez and David Zinman and recently completed a 24-year career with the United States Coast Guard Band performing solos in concerts across the United States. Kreston has enjoyed worldwide acclaim as a soloist and member of the Amelia Trio. Shapiro has been a member of the Hop River Chamber Players since 1981, and continues to freelance as an accompanist and in chamber-music performances at the University of Connecticut and throughout the eastern Connecticut and Hartford areas. Admission is $10, $5 for students and senior citizens. A reception will follow the performance. Situated on the coast of southern New England, Connecticut College is a highly selective private liberal arts college with 1900 students from all across the country and throughout the world. On the college´s 750-acre arboretum campus overlooking Long Island Sound, students and faculty create a vibrant social, cultural and intellectual community enriched by diverse perspectives.

What exactly do you think is your soul?
It isn't your mind, because people who have suffered brain injuries find that their thought processes are altered - they can remember names of fruits, for example, but not people. In more severe brain injuries, they can have complete personality changes. In appalling brain injuries, they can be reduced to complete idiotic status. So the mind is clearly a physical thing, affected by physical conditions. Death represents the total destruction of the brain - it would be bizarre to think it would suddenly reassemble a 'mind' for onwards transmission into an 'afterlife'.
If such an abstract concept as a soul were to exist, by definition it could have no physical attributes. It would be invisible, have no mass or matter, and just float around. How would it interact with your physical mind? What would be its evolutionary purpose?
As far as science has been able to study the brain, it generates billions of electrical impulses and these combinations, when coupled with genetic code and physical experience and memory, give an illusion that we have a unified mind/spirit/essence.
Consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the brain. It can't exist apart from the brain; the brain causes it. If you are referring to the conscience in the sense of guilt over doing supposedly bad things, that is instilled by our family and society, is it not? Feelings? They just are part of our natural responses to events in our life. No brain, no feelings.
I think our soul is that part of us we cannot touch. It exists. It's there, we all feel it. But we don't exactly know how to describe it. I always say the eyes are the window to the soul. It's true. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their face.
It's there, we all feel it.
My guess is that what you are calling the soul is just a person's personality, or even more simply, their mind. If you want to get poetic about it, you could call it someone's "essence" or their "soul" if you want to—but not in a literal sense. The difference is that you seem to think that this soul literally exists as a thing distinct from the brain and the rest of the physical body. Most of us atheists do not. The mind is a product of the human brain. All scientific evidence points to this conclusion, even though exactly how it does that is still something of a mystery.
My question to you would be: what is the difference between the mind and the soul? Earlier you suggested that our conscience and our feelings are evidence of the soul, but all of that is just our mind, isn't it? The mind isn't just the thinking/contemplating/calculating part of us, it's our feelings and intuitions, too—both conscious and subconscious—and the sum total of these things make up our unique personality. The entire field of psychology is founded upon this simple truth. I'm not sure what else you think there is to a person that could be called a literal soul.
I think our soul is just the metaphysical part of us.
This has been a question I've been wanting to know the answer to too!!! I'm not sure I really know how I think or feel about death. I'm still adjusting to the fact that it's not what I thought it was.
Do not fear death, when you are dead, you won't know it!
I'm building a giant concrete pyramid behind my house. Just can't find good mummification technicians here in the bible belt.
bwa hah ahahahaha windows to the soul. Yes, you can tell a lot about someone by looking at their face and into their eyes, but not because it's magical. Over the span of your life its just another form of language that you learn and record in your brain. You can also tell a lot about a person by they shoes..where they goin..where they been..I bet if I think hard enough I can remember my first pair of shoes...Momma said they was my magic shoooess...Momma said they would take me anywhere!

I'm on vacation so you get this collection of random items.
Ozzie Guillen on the fish-like Twins: Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been known throughout his career for his colorful comments. Several seasons ago, when the Minnesota Twins were still indoors at the Metrodome, Guillen referred to his Central Division rivals as piranhas.
He said, The way they pitch, watch out. This team beats you so many ways. You wake up, they look like little piranhas. ... All of a sudden, you wake up, (looking at left arm) you ain't got no meat - all those little piranhas. A blooper here, a blooper there, beat out a ground ball then the first baseman hits a home run. Then they're up by four. How the (heck) are they up by four? Then you're down four with that pitching staff, that bullpen? Sit down and look at the lineup. Those little piranhas.
This season he changed the fish to sardines.
These are las sardinas (the little sardines) here, he said about the current edition of the Twins. They are (bleeping) sardines. You see a bunch of circus midgets out there. But they can play.
Guillen, after the Twins won 6-2 on Thursday with 12 hits but 11 of them were singles: They executed everything they had to execute early in the game. Everything. Get on base, steal, move the guy over. Score, steal, move the guy over, score.
Here is a recent Guillen tweet. Win or lose my wife still makes me vacuum after game.
Another Guillen gem. If you say, 'No comment,' you're guilty of something.
Blyleven well liked in Minnesota: Why do people love Bert Blyleven? At the annual Harmon Killebrew charity golf tournament an auction was held for an original Killebrew statue. After winning the bid at $10,000, Twins TV analyst Bert Blyleven said he gave it to Killebrew's son, Cam.
The Twins' July 24 game with the Detroit Tigers will be moved from 1 p.m. to 3:10 so fans can view the telecast of the induction of Blyleven into the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y., before the game.
Nephew named top rebounder: My brothers and I have talked many times about the Smith family athletic curse. It is in the makeup of our genes that we are not fast or able to jump. One of my nephews did manage to sprout up to 6-foot-3 and played high school and community college basketball.
Our best combination for athletes is my youngest brother and his wife. His wife is athletic and brings a few speedy genes to the mixture. They have two boys who play football, basketball and baseball.
I recently attended the open house for one of their sons, Brett Smith, who graduated from Dassel-Cokato High School in Minnesota. An avid basketball and NBA fan since his youth, Brett was a three-year starter on his high school basketball team but alas he only grew to 5-foot-10. A point guard, Brett was a long range shooter who could drive to the basket. He has given up on his NBA dream and probably will not play in college.
At the open house, mementos of his athletic and academic achievements (Presidential Scholarship winner) were laid out on tables.
During the festivities he walked over to me and said, I've got something to show you.
He took me to a loaded down table and showed me a plaque he had been awarded as the team's leading rebounder.
I didn't know how to respond because a slender point guard should not be the leading rebounder. I wanted to be positive. I said, That award must show your ability to make hustle plays and get to the ball.
He smiled and said, No, it shows how bad we were at rebounding.
Brett will attend Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
Just as a side note: The real food and drink hit of the party was a keg of root beer on ice. It was delicious.
Early recruit: Kaitlyn Severyn, a sophomore-to-be at Pierre High School this fall has given a verbal commitment to play women's basketball at South Dakota State University, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
The 5-foot-10 Severyn is already a two-year starter for her high school team and is playing with the Dakota Schoolers this summer.
Yogi Berra on adults in baseball: Revered New York Yankees catcher and hall of famer Yogi Berra was quoted in a recent edition of Sports Illustrated as saying that he wishes kids would organize their own games.
When his sons were little and would ask him to play catch, Yogi told them to go play with their brothers. Yogi thinks adults should stay out of the way when it comes to baseball.
Soccer champion's son: Michelle Akers, a member of the U.S. Women's World Cup Soccer Championship team in 1999, talked about her son's baseball team winning a Little League Championship.
It was so cool because they were just little boys playing and they are so innocent. It was just pure.

HoopsHype Fran Vazquez rumors
Pete Mickeal: There's one guy who works for the Orlando Magic that I know very well, and he is a very big fan of Fran Vazquez. I spoke with him over the phone when I was in Miami last summer and he asked me about Fran. He knows my locker room is next to Fran's, and he told me: "Fran can play. Fran can really help us right now." I told him the same, that he would help them a lot. Fran is one of the very few players in Europe who plays above the basket all the time. He's always blocking shots, tipping the ball off the basket, he's improving his post game a lot… and he's hitting his mid-range jump shots, something that Dwight Howard doesn't do too much. HoopsHype
Fran Vazquez's with Regal Barcelona ends this summer and for months the Spanish center has had an offer to re-sign on the table. Club sources say it's a very good offer, one that would allow Vazquez to retire with the team. El Mundo Deportivo
We have a Fran Vazquez update for you: The Spanish power forward apparently is closer to washing up on Orlando's shores. Decir lo que? (Say what?) The Magic say Vazquez --- who stood them up after they drafted him in the first round in 2005 --- is coming around to joining them for the 2011-12 season. He has another year left on his contract with FC Barcelona. "It's more open now than it has been in the past with Fran," Magic assistant general manager Dave Twardzik told the Sentinel. Orlando Sentinel
Twardzik said barriers have now been knocked down, to some degree, because Vazquez has matured and learned a bit more English. "All that has changed in many ways," Twardzik said. A 6-foot-11, 230-pound power forward/center, Vazquez, 27, had a nice upside when the Magic selected him. He struggled mightily at times after signing a four-year deal with Akasuayu Girona. His stock is apparently up again with Barcelona, according to overseas reports, especially as a defender and shot-blocker. Twardzik said the Magic last saw Vazquez "face-to-face" in March and frequently exchanges e-mails with him. Orlando Sentinel
The intriguing aspect of the Vazquez saga is that his American agent is Marc Cornstein. (Vazquez also is represented by two agents overseas.) Cornstein had a public falling out with the Magic, particularly General Manager Otis Smith, in 2007 after the club did not re-sign PF Darko Milicic. Cornstein says he and Smith have put their nasty feud behind them, adding that he would help facilitate Vazquez' move to the Magic if he decides to come over. "One (Milicic's issues) would have nothing to do with the other," Cornstein said. "Otis and I are fine. We've seen each other. It was years ago. It was an emotional time. I was less than thrilled way it was handled. It's past history." Orlando Sentinel
Fran Vazquez: "I don't regret not going to the NBA. I'm not obsessed about it. I've worked hard, I've won very important titles, I'm very happy playing with Barça and now winning a medal with the national team would make this a great season. We'll see what happens in the future." Sportec.es
Regal Barcelona activated the option to keep Fran Vazquez who will stay another season with the Euroleague champions. Sportando

The Louisiana Bulldogs 2013 baseball team broke out with three wins to start the season last week and put themselves on the verge of winning the Clarence Cannon Conference Small Tournament.
The Bulldogs will square off soon with the Highland for the championship game of the tournament, according to Louisiana Head Coach Ryan Griffin. The Bulldogs were trying to schedule the game as the Press-Jounal went to press.
Mark Twain-1
The Bulldogs broke out to a three-run lead in the first inning and that's really all they needed in the second game of the CCC small tournament on Saturday, March 23 at Wallace Park in Louisiana.
Sophomore pitcher Brandon Holland was brilliant, scattering three hits and one walk over six innings and striking out eight for no runs. Senior third-baseman Greg Pitzer came on relief in the seventh and gave up the Tigers lone run.
Monroe City-6
The Bulldogs gave up six unearned runs, but managed to hang on to the win their first game of the CCC small tournament.
"The kids were kind of sloppy on defense but we came out in the end," Griffin said. "We had timely hitting and put the ball in play."
Smith got the win, scattering five hits over five innings and giving up four unearned runs.
For the full story, see the March 27 print edition of the Louisiana Press-Journal.
