ALEXANDRIA, La. - Thanks to some generous people here in Cenla the campus police at LSUA have some new equipment to help keep students there safe. News Channel Fives Nolan Crane shows us what was donated.
"It's easy to spot campus police at LSUA because they drive these cars, but there are a lot of places the cars can't go.
"Going to areas like the quad and the center of campus and things like that, you'd have to walk everywhere," says Randall Ferguson.
The owner of Red River Cycles in Alexandria saw a need and with the help of the Baton Rouge campus police department, they got the wheels turning and sprung into action to help out.
"We repaired their bikes that they actually brought in here and then we ordered them some safety equipment to get them started," says Mike Hopkins.
And now LSUA officers have these top of the line bikes to ride.
"Its great to know that we have people in the community that support the mission that we are trying to accomplish here and keeping the students, faculty and staff safe and you know were grateful to them for everything they have done for us," says Randall Ferguson.
But the officers are not the only ones who will benefit because of the donation of their new wheels.
"It helps us reduce our response time to areas that are not accessible by the regular patrol car and it also gets us out of the patrol car and makes us more approachable to the students," says Randall Ferguson.
"LSUA is our community college and we just felt like it was a good fit and you know, just to show our appreciation for what there doing out there so small part for a great cause," says Mike Hopkins.
Randall Ferguson says the campus was safe before, but now they can literally ride anywhere and get there faster.
"It helps us to get in and out of the apartment complexes without having to take the car up into the middle of the complex because there is no road there," says Randall Ferguson.
The campus police say they're grateful for the folks who made this happen, and they'll be ready to ride and patrol this summer and of course, when courses start again in the fall.

Profile of Cain from the Old Testament Book of Genesis:
Cain was the first-born son of Adam and Eve, making him the first human child to be born in the Bible. Like his father Adam, he became a farmer and worked the soil. The Bible doesn't tell us a lot about Cain, yet we discover in a few short verses that Cain had a serious anger management problem.
The story of Cain and Abel begins with the two brothers bringing an offering to the Lord. The Bible says that God was pleased with Abel's sacrifice, but not with Cain's. As a result Cain grew angry, dejected and jealous. Soon his fierce anger led him to commit murder.
This account leaves us wondering exactly why God looked with favor on Abel's offering, but rejected Cain's. This mystery is often a point of confusion for believers. However, verse 6 and 7 of Genesis 4 contain the clue to solve the mystery. After seeing Cain's anger over the rejection of his sacrifice, God said to him: Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it. (NIV)
Cain should not have been angry. Apparently both he and Abel knew what God expected as the "right" offering. God must have already explained it to them. Both Cain and God knew that he had given an unacceptable offering. Perhaps even more important, God knew that Cain had given with a wrong attitude of heart. Yet God still offered Cain a chance to make things right and warned him that the sin of anger would destroy him if he did not master it.
Cain was faced with a choice. He could turn from his anger, change his attitude and make things right with God, or he could intentionally give himself over to sin.
Cain's Accomplishments:
Cain was the first human child to be born in the Bible, and the first to follow after his father's line of work, cultivating the soil and becoming a farmer.
Cain's Strengths:
Cain must have been physically strong to work the land. He attacked and overpowered his younger brother.
Cain's Weaknesses:
The brief story of Cain reveals several of his character weaknesses. When Cain faced disappointment, rather than turning to God for encouragement, he responded with anger and jealousy. When given a clear choice to correct his mistake, Cain chose to disobey and further entangle himself in sin's trap. He let sin become his master and committed murder.
Life Lessons:
First we see that Cain did not respond properly to correction. He reacted in anger—rage even! We should consider carefully how we respond when corrected. The correction we receive may be God's way of allowing us to make things right with him.
Just as he did with Cain, God always offers us a choice, a way of escape from sin, and an opportunity to make things right. Our choices to please and obey God will make available to us the power to master sin, but our choices to disobey him will leave us abandoned to sin's control. God warned Cain that sin was crouching at his door, ready to destroy him. God continues to warn his children today. We must master sin through our obedience and submission to God and by the power of the Holy Spirit, rather than let sin master us.
We also see in Cain's story that God evaluates our offerings. He watches what and how we give. God not only cares about the quality of our gifts to him, but also the manner in which we offer them.
Rather than giving to God out of a heart of thankfulness and worship, Cain may have presented his offering with evil or selfish intentions. Maybe he had hoped to receive some special recognition. The Bible says to be a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7) and to give freely (Luke 6:38; Matthew 10:8), knowing that everything we have comes from God. When we truly recognize all that he has done for us, we will want to offer ourselves wholly to God as a living sacrifice of worship to him (Romans 12:1).
Lastly, Cain received a severe punishment from God for his crime. He lost his profession as a farmer and became a wanderer. Even worse, he was sent away from the presence of the Lord. The consequences of sin are severe. We should allow God to correct us quickly when we sin so that fellowship with him can be swiftly restored.
Cain was born, raised, and farmed the soil just beyond the Garden of Eden in the Middle East, probably near modern-day Iran or Iraq. After killing his brother, Cain became a wanderer in the land of Nod, East of Eden.
Referenced in the Bible:Genesis 4; Hebrews 11:4; 1 John 3:12; Jude 11.
Occupation:Farmer, worked the soil.
Family Tree:Father - Adam
Mother - Eve
Brothers & Sisters - Abel, Seth, and many more not named in Genesis.
Key Verse:
Genesis 4:6-7
"Why are you so angry?" the Lord asked Cain. "Why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master." (NLT)

Vikings starters dominated. I know it is only preseason but the defense had me pretty excited. They only had six plays with three of them resulting in sacks. It reminded me of old school Tecmo football where you pick the offense's play and jump all over it. Can't wait to see them in a full game.
Starters were very efficient on offense. I'd like to see them convert on 3rd instead of needing 4th down. I did like how they mixed up the play calling as far as passing in some normal Vikings rushing downs. Let's face it, Rosenfels is the Vikings starting QB. He looked confident and in control of the game offensively. Nothing fancy. He just threw solid catchable balls and let the recievers do their thing. Jackson on the other hand looked like Jackson at his worse. Sure it was second team but superman couldn't have caught some of the passes he threw. Poor guy.
Berrian injury troubles me because those hammy's can linger. Harvin not playing was a disappointment as that was my biggest reason to tune in. Loadholt did not look good to me at all. Yikes that might be a serious problem this year. He was beat easily by the second team end on two or three plays.
I really think this team could be something special this season. I thought they had a good shot beginning of last season and they pulled it off after a poor start. But this season I feel like they should have the division easily and could be trying for bigger things.

Maybe it's a bad sign that I'm on Indy Cornrows frequently enough to pay attention to the content of all of the FanPosts, but it seems when we Pacer fans aren't fantasizing about dealing Troy Murphy, T.J Ford and Mike Dunleavy we're busy lambasting Jim O'Brien and Larry Bird. JOB deserves it because of his history of bush-league coaching, but criticism of Larry seems to me to be a little misguided.
A notable outside condemnation of Bird came in the form of this link:
First of all, I'd like to refute a lot of the points that the article makes regarding Bird's role in team affairs directly after he rose to power. As someone said on this site (maybe LukeNukem?) it's impossible to know what Bird did and what Walsh did during the time up to Walsh's departure. As such, we'll stick to 2006 as our starting point for Bird's reign.
Most of the other criticisms of Bird stick to a similar refrain: he won't make big trades and he doesn't draft particularly well.
As for Bird's draft record, let's review his additions through the draft starting in 2006 (after Danny Granger.)
2006: Shawne Williams, James White
2007: Stanko Barac (euro stiff)
2008: Brandon Rush, Roy Hibbert
2009- Tyler Hansbrough, A.J Price
In a nutshell, 2006 was a really lean year. Even though Williams was awful and White didn't make the team, Rajon Rondo was the only noteworthy guy available besides Williams and there were some real questions about his game as well. 2008 got us Hibbert (solid center with potential) and Rush (at worst a good defender who can shoot the three and at best an above average shooting guard.) For those who still pine for Jerryd Bayless, he's a 40% shooter from the field, can't shoot the 3 and doesn't really guard anyone (I'm not a huge fan.) 2009 brought Tyler Hansbrough and A.J Price who were solid contributors in limited action last year.
That's 4 guys the past two years who, at worst, are solid, hard-working role players (not bad for all mid-1st round and a 2nd round pick.) This will be a make-or-break season for his draft record but results so far look positive with George and Stephenson showing a lot of good things early.
Finally, people who feel that Bird isn't being aggressive enough in trading his expiring contracts need to realize just how valuable those contracts are. If there is a lockout at the end of this year (THERE WILL BE) the Pacers will be in a much better position heading into it with almost $45 million off the books than if we made some trades to be a 6 seed at best, taking on some bad contracts in the process. I think Bird knows this and I am thankful that he doesn't seem interested in taking a flier on (unproven) Darren Collison while simultaneously tying Okafor's albatross of a contract around the franchise's neck on the eve of a lockout. Bird will make a trade to add a young piece (Maynor trade?) but not at the cost of the team's financial flexibility. There was a great post the other day by Roquo that at least addresses the NBA lockout and that it should affect future vision, which no one else seems to be doing. Long story short, nobody knows what the NBA financial landscape is going to look like after the end of the season. The Pacers only have $26.5 million committed past this year, leaving them with Danny Granger, good young players and a lot of wiggle room heading into the lockout. The man who put us here? Larry Bird.
Is it possible Larry knows what he's doing after all? (feel free to comment)

Apple iPhone 5 (GSM)
Reviewed by GMoney2 (Currently owns)
The iPhone 5 is pretty much what you would expect from Apple, both good and bad. Great design. I don't think that how light the phone is gets enough love. One thing I'm always doing with my iPhone is holding it. I never thought that it being so light would be such a positive thing, especially when lying down in bed and holding it up.
The screen being taller is, I think, better than it simply being larger with the same aspect ratio. That taller screen is much appreciated when watching movies and reading, not to mention more visible favorites in the phone app.
A negative about the phone would definitely be its susceptibility to scratching. Gotta be much more careful than with the previous model. A lot has been made of the Maps app too. It's definitely not as good as Google's version, but not a deal breaker either. With so many mapping apps available (and Google Maps usable through Safari), it's much ado about nothing for me.
I would have also hoped for better battery life. I understand that they have already done a pretty good job, but one of these days we're going to have a phone that will go a few days without needing to be charged.
Overall, I'm happy I upgraded. Another solid phone by Apple.

According to a new survey from the University of Washington, talking to your teen about sex and pregnancy doesn't mean it's going to happen. Researchers found that the teens that got comprehensive sex education were much more likely to avoid a pregnancy than those who received "abstinence only" information or nothing at all.
The study, published in the in April 2008 issue of The Journal of Adolescent Health, found a 60% reduction in teen pregnancies among those who took a sex ed class, with no increase in std's or intercourse among that group. .
The survey included responses from more than 1700 teens.

Berkshire, Vermont - December 31, 2009
Icy roads led to a bizarre accident Thursday in Franklin County.
Police say a car went out of control on Watertower Road in Berkshire, slid into the path of a dump truck and ended up under the truck as both vehicles went off the road. The woman in the car was literally buried under the truck and tons of corn silage.
It took rescuers about an hour-and-a-half to get her out-- and amazingly, she was not hurt.
"Usually, you expect the worst and you're pretty close to getting the worst when you see an accident like this. It's very rare that somebody would walk away," Assistant Berkshire Fire Chief Irving Wetherby said.
Rescuers said the woman was lucky to be alive.

Mamed Khalidov (17-3-1) def. Daniel Acacio (17-8) via KO (Punches) at 1:10 of Round 1
Less than two minutes into the opening round, following some flashy kicks and clinch work from "The Cannibal," Khalidov ended the Brazilian's night with a clean right uppercut. The hometown favorite pounced and pounded away until the ref stopped the action, making Khalidov the first ever KSW World Champion.
UPDATE: Video is in the FanPosts.

Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki
May 15, 2009
Warsaw, Poland
8-Man Tournament Opening Round
Vitor Nobrega (4-1) def. Lukasz Christ (2-4) via Submission (Arm Triangle Choke) R1
Nobrega took Christ to the mat right away and began softening him up with shots to the face from guard until sinking in the match-winning choke about two minutes in. The four-time Portugal Vale Tudo champion moved on to the next round without breaking a sweat.
Artur Kadlubek (5-1) def. Sergey Nikitin (3-3) via Unanimous Decision
Nikitin is the trainer of former tournament favorite Alexander Shlemenko, who had to withdraw due to injury. Thanks to one Jordan Breen for this bit of info, and the heads up that KSW was airing this afternoon. Kadlubek ground out a dominant but uneventful win by riding Nikitin's back for the majority of the fight, landing punches from the top while looking for a guillotine which never materialized.
Aslambek Saidov (4-0) def. Michele Verginelli (5-6) via Unanimous Decision
Saidov muscled Verginelli around from top position for the entirety of the first frame, only coming close to danger when "Iron Mike" nearly caught a triangle armbar early on. Saidov took it to the mat again in the second and rolled out of a heel hook attempt, but remained unable to pass Verginelli's guard. The Italian nearly twisted Saidov's left arm into a pretzel with a last ditch kimura attempt, but Saidov picked up the decision via the punishment he dealt out in the rest of the fight.
Krzysztof Sadecki (1-0) def. Andre Reinders (11-8-2) via Unanimous Decision (Ext. Round)
Sadecki caught Reinders with a left high kick immediately and began blasting away from full mount until Reinders reversed him and tried to escape through the ring ropes. Sadecki teed off on Andre against the ropes and largely won the battle in the clinch with knees and dirty boxing throughout the first, but Reinders appeared ready to turn the tide as the round ran out. In the second, Reinders mounted Sadecki and looked close to winning as he pounded away, but Sadecki bucked and reversed with 50 seconds remaining. In the extension round, both exhausted fighters tried to finish the fight to no avail, and the judges awarded Sadecki the right to move on and most likely have his tired ass handed to him in the next round.
Lukasz Jurkowski (14-9) def. Atila Vegh (4-1) via Unanimous Decision
Missed most of this superfight due to stream issues. My apologies.
Antoni Chmielewski (13-4) via Michael Knaap (17-17-3) via Unanimous Decision
Chmielewski controlled the first round with powerful takedowns and light g'n'p, but it was more a story of Knaap looking hopeless from guard. Knaap caught "Antonio" with a low blow as the second round began, but Chmielewski recovered quickly and put the wild-striking Knaap on his back again, where he spent the last three minutes of the fight (save the several stand-ups and breaks to check on a cut atop Chmielewski's forehead).
8-Man Tournament Semifinals
Vitor Nobrega (5-1) def. Artur Kadlubek (5-2) via Submission (Arm Triangle Choke) R1
This match went very much the same as Nobrega's first win. Not all that impressive, but the Brazilian was no doubt the freshest of all four fighters entering the semis.
Aslambek Saidov (5-0) def. Lukasz Christ (2-5) via Submission (Armbar) R1
After a back and forth round, Saidov tapped Christ with a nasty armbar with less than 10 second remaining. Christ was a replacement for Krzysztof Sadecki, who was too injured to continue after his war with Andre Reinders.
Saidov and Nobrega will square off at a KSW event in December.

BOSTON — Before Thursday night's fifth game of the American League Championship Series, a few of the pre-teen children of the Detroit Tigers emerged from the showers in the home clubhouse wearing big-league towels like big leaguers, changing in front of big-league lockers like big leaguers. For Victor Jose Martinez, son of Victor Martinez the designated hitter, and Jadyn and Haven Fielder, sons of Prince Fielder the first baseman, this is home, and they act like it, running the TV remote, twirling in the chairs, lolling on the couch, carefree.
This used to be Prince Fielder's role, 20 years ago, when his father, Cecil, occupied the home clubhouse at old Tiger Stadium. When you are the kid, and you have the run of a baseball clubhouse, what worries could you have?

Equipment - Packing Lists
Everyone will have a different idea about what to take, but here are enough lists to get you going, whether it's a 4 month jaunt through South America or 7 years around the world!
A word of advice about clothing. Throw away jeans and cotton clothing, in favor of lightweight, quick-drying synthetic shirts and pants which can be washed in a sink and will dry overnight. Instead of cotton or wool sweaters, take fleece and an electric vest. The reduction in weight and bulk is substantial. The fact that you can easily wash them yourselves in a cheap hotel room and have them wearable in the morning is the bonus.
Not counting our riding leathers, during 2 years non-stop travel through four continents, we each had 3 shirts (long sleeve only, with ability to roll up and button sleeves), 2 pairs of (non-riding) pants with zip-off legs (so no shorts needed), a light fleece sweater, bathing suit, socks and underwear. Nothing wore out on the way. All shirts and pants and fleece are still in service, 6 years later.
Assume no laundromats in most of the world, and plan accordingly. On our first trip, we started with cotton shirts, which disintegrated within about 6 months from the washing treatment. Modern synthetics are very durable, any good camping store will have a huge selection. Some now have UV protection built into the fabric.
Last comment is about cookwear and stoves. If you decide not to cook, you will spend more on food, but you can find food virtually everywhere you can go two-up. We seldom used our cooking gear, and eventually pared it down to a very small and lightweight set, kept mostly for emergencies, but I don't think we used it at all in South America.

Even if you're not into old skate punk in the ways of Guttermouth, or you've already caught your fill of English Beat, or you don't have tickets to the sold-out Tennis show at Tin Can, the beauty of San Diego is that you have a lot of other choices. Maybe you love Lady Dottie but haven't yet checked out Donovan's Circle of Fifths? Or maybe you want to hear some old-timey guitar picking by the Wood Brothers? Or maybe you just want to chill out in the bar of the House of Blues and check out the Burnsville Blues Band? Do something a little uncomfortable. Do something outside of your norm. Trust me, you'll thank me for it.

Firstly, apologies if this is more something that should be sent in a PM to a moderator, but I'm not sure which mod to contact.
Anyway, the True Achievements thread which was in the Xbox 360 section of the forum seems to have disappeared in the last few hours with no explanation. As far as I'm aware the OP hasn't quit or been GI'ed and there seems to be no other reason why this thread should be deleted.
Can anyone shed any light on this mystery?
I'll never get my Orc looking the same again.

Can The Verge please fix their battery tests?
I think most things about Verge reviews are great, but as a performance engineer, I feel a little sick whenever I read:
the Verge Battery Test, which cycles through a series of popular websites and high-res images with brightness set to 65 percent.
Without really even thinking, I can point out a couple serious flaws with this method:
1) Why 65% brightness? It's completely meaningless. It should be based on a standard luminosity or the auto-brightness of the device.
2) What are the radios doing? Radios searching for signal will eat an enormous amount of battery.
The above are just procedural problem. There are things you could do to also make your test more applicable to the real world, such as accounting for using the touch screen, background data, etc. These would be nice, but aren't nearly as important as the above, which currently make your tests, quite frankly, worthless.

Look Forward to SkyDrive
At least thee years ago Microsoft setup an online file storage system called SkyDrive which has been very much under utilized all of these years. It is about to under go a significant upgrade that will make it much more useful with the release this summer of Windows 8.
Before you stop reading this realized that SkyDrive can be used with the MAC, which would include all of the current iOSs and Windows 7. SkyDrive may prove to be a significant tool in the near future with applications available for the Android devices as well as the iOS devices.
The neat thing for most users is that the cost for 25 gigs of storage is FREE, which you'd have to admit is pretty cheap. The only restriction that I have found is that you are limited to any give files size of 300 megabytes, which in most cases isn't much of a limitation at all.
The current version is web based and does not give you a drive to interact with off of your computer via either the desktop or from within an application much like Drop Box does. But this will change with the release of Window 8 in a few months. This capability will come to Windows 7 as well.
It was originally designed as a collaborative way of sharing files in a group and it has not lost any of that ability. You can even share files via a browser link with people that do not have a SkyDrive account.
It costs nothing and gives you 25 gigs of free storage and has a very simple interface, how can you go wrong especially with the upcoming update? Give it a whirl and see what you think.

Syracuse, NY -- A Georgia man brought back to Syracuse last fall on charges he strangled his estranged wife in 1985 has been released on $450,000 bail.
Ronald Meadow, 60, surprised County Court Judge Anthony Aloi by appearing this morning in a suit and tie, not jail garb. Last Aloi knew, he had sent Meadow to jail with no bail Jan. 6.
Meadow's first wife, Colleen Meadow, was found strangled and hog-tied in her North Side apartment March 5, 1985. Recent DNA evidence that prosecutors say tied Ronald Meadow to the crime scene led to his confinement.
But Jan. 31, his attorney, Ed Menkin argued that Meadow's rights had been violated by Aloi's no-bail ruling. Aloi was on vacation, so state Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti heard the argument.
Menkin argued, among other things, that Meadow's lack of a prior criminal record, steady employment and supportive family in the state should be enough for bail to be set in the case.
Meadow's lawyers have also argued that the DNA sample -- taken from under Colleen Meadow's fingernail -- only showed that the couple spent time together. Hair on the belt believed to be the murder weapon did not belong to Colleen Meadow or her husband.
Lawyer for 1985 murder suspect Ronald Meadow: 'This is one of the weakest cases I've seen'
Brunetti agreed that a bail amount should be set in the case, based on his reading of the law. But because he and Menkin have a close professional relationship -- including once sharing a law office -- the judge recused himself from setting the bail amount.
So Meadow's bail argument was heard before state Supreme Court Justice Deborah Karalunas, who set the $450,000 cash bail.
That's how Meadow ended up in court today in street clothes. Aloi agreed to allow Meadow to reside in Sullivan County -- near the Catskills -- noting the court had the address, phone numbers and a Google map of the location.
The court also took possession of Meadow's passport. He's due back June 16.

Pregnancy After Tubal Reversal
When You Become Pregnant
Bonnie Ayscue, RN, BSN
Surgical Nurse
One of our nurses will be in contact with you during the first few days after surgery. We will then contact you at regular intervals after surgery to see how you are doing. If you have questions at any point following surgery, you can contact us by phone or e-mail. Most questions can be addressed during regular business hours. However, you will receive an after hours number and your tubal reversal surgeon's pager number for any emergency calls that need to be addressed outside of normal hours.
It will be helpful to use an ovulation predictor kit following your surgery. You can purchase the kits over the counter at any drugstore or online at www.saveontests.com. There are instructions with the kit, but we will provide you with directions for use during your consultation. If you do not detect your LH surge while using the kit, please contact one of the nurses to let us know. We are happy to make recommendations on follow-up care with your local doctor. If any fertility medications will be used after reversal, these will need to be ordered by your local doctor so you can be closely monitored.
If you are not pregnant within 6 to 12 months following surgery, it is recommend that you have a HSG (hysterosalpingogram) x-ray to be certain that your tubes have remained open. Please have a copy of the x-ray films, as well as the report, sent to our office for review.
When You Become Pregnant:
Part of our long-term follow-up care after your tubal reversal is monitoring your pregnancy along with you and your local physician.
It is important to follow our recommendations for monitoring your early pregnancy. We recommend biweekly (twice a week) quantitative serum HCG and progesterone assays. A vaginal ultrasound examination should be performed when your HCG reaches 1500. At this point, a uterine pregnancy will usually show a gestation sac within the uterus. If your US exam does not show the gestation sac, your HCG level and another vaginal ultrasound exam should be repeated in 2 or 3 days.
In a normally developing pregnancy, the serum HCG levels will double every 2 or 3 days until about 10 weeks from the last menstrual period. If the gestation sac is still not seen in the uterus when the serum level of HCG is above 1500, then a tubal pregnancy or a "blighted ovum" (abnormally developing uterine pregnancy) should be suspected.
Because of the increased risk of ectopic pregnancy following tubal surgery, it is important to notify us as soon as your pregnancy test is positive. A tubal pregnancy cannot lead to live birth and must be interrupted. By following our pregnancy monitoring protocol, a tubal pregnancy can be detected early in its development when it can be treated with medication (Methotrexate). Once the pregnancy is reabsorbed and a normal period follows, patients can try to conceive again. If a tubal pregnancy is allowed to progress without early diagnosis, it will eventually damage the fallopian tube and require surgical treatment, possibly involving removing the tube entirely.
The main point about early pregnancy monitoring is to prevent a tubal pregnancy from progressing to the point of rupturing the fallopian tube. A ruptured fallopian tube causes internal bleeding and requires emergency surgery. Pain in one side of the lower abdomen or pelvis, abnormal spotting or bleeding, rising HCG and progesterone levels with failure to see a gestation sac in the uterus when the HCG levels are above 1500 are some of the warning signs of a tubal pregnancy with the risk of tubal rupture. Adhering to our recommendations for early pregnancy monitoring can prevent tubal rupture.
We want to be kept informed about your early pregnancy results. Your tubal reversal surgeon is available at any time by pager if you have questions or concerns. You can also reach our nurses seven days a week by e-mail or cell phone. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Cannot order HCG or ultrasound testing for patients. The patient's local doctor must order these tests.
On our website you will find a Pregnancy Report Form. Please complete the form and submit it when you have a positive pregnancy test. If you do not hear back from us within 24 hours, please e-mail or call us at (919) 968-4656 or page your tubal reversal surgeon. We want to be sure we know about your pregnancy so we can assist you during this important time for you and your family!
Watch Video - Why Tubal Reversal?
Patients often have asked Dr. Berger what made him decide to specialize as a tubal reversal doctor. In this short video, Dr. Berger talks about his thoughts regarding tubal reversal surgery to help families have children and why he limits his practice to this operative procedure. During his years as an infertility specialist, Dr. Berger found that tubal reversal surgery was the most successful of all of the treatments available. As proof of this, examine the latest statistics about pregnancy after tubal reversal surgery for our patients!

'Vinification parcellaire' are the new buzzwords in Champagne. The phrase means hand-crafted winemaking of a few rows of a
village-grower's best vines or of a single vineyard. The aim is to produce a Champagne with a distinctive taste of the special bit of earth from which it comes. Regular, blended Champagne on the
other hand,
is made using different vineyards. To use a musical analogy, a single-vineyard Champagne is a solo instrument, like a flute, compared to a big house's blend that uses the full orchestra. One is not necessarily better than the other. They are simply different.
In truth, there's nothing really new about this micro, terroir-based approach to Champagne making. The Clos des Goisses, Champagne's greatest walled vineyard at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, has been the source of superb single-site Champagnes released in almost every vintage since 1956, the property having been bought 20 years earlier by the house of Philipponnat. 'Goisse' in old French means hard work or a painful task, and you can see why when you look at the dramatic, plunging slopes – dropping sharply towards the Marne canal, where the presence of water is a natural shield against spring frosts.
This 13-acre property, extending eastwards for 800m along the Bisseuil road, is a dream vineyard, facing south so the vines on pure chalk soils can catch the rays of the sun at their full strength, resulting in Pinot Noir grapes of terrific richness and power. For complete balance, Chardonnay plays a supporting role, giving verve and freshness to the blend. The wine is given a short spell in oak to round it out, but avoiding any overt, woody flavour.
Warmer vintages of Goisses are particular glories. I remember the 1985 as the perfect mature Champagne at a great 1996 dinner in Paris, as good with roast woodcock as with a slightly overripe piece of Tomme de Savoie. The current 1999 vintage is much more durable than many wines from this easy-drinking vintage. It has a volume and texture more associated with red wine than white, but is lifted by the aromatic flavours of lemon and cinnamon that make it an unmistakably great, racy Champagne. (A bottle costs £68.40 from www.lescaves.co.uk.)
Rare Treasure
In the heart of Mareuil, Billecart-Salmon is renowned for its exquisite rosé. Finest quality red wine, a key element in this cuvée, used to come from a 2.4-acre plot of old Pinot Noir behind the Billecart family house. This walled garden vineyard is now home to the Clos St.Hilaire, a pure Pinot Noir Champagne like no other. Its 40-year-old vines lie over crumbling limestone soils that may not be classically chalky, but Hilaire is as much a fine wine as it is a Champagne.
The 1996 is a monument of substance and controlled power – just as remarkable is its sublime daffodil colour, lace-like mousse and mature fine-drawn scents of yellow peach and apricot, with touches of gingerbread. These are old-fashioned, barrel-fermented Pinot attributes enhanced by modern winemaking touches of a master, François Domi, one of Champagne's greats. You'll find a fine range of Billecart Champagnes at Morton's in Berkeley Square – it's interesting to compare the conventionally blended 1998 NF Billecart, an elegant classic, with the food-friendly 1996 Hilaire. The now rare 1995 Hilaire is available for £165 a bottle (gulp!) from Alan Goadby's wonderful wine shop, Upton-upon-Severn Wines (01684 592668).
Westwards to Aÿ, an even more rare Champagne is Bollinger's Vieilles Vignes Françaises. 'To talk about this wine, cultivated in the historic manner, is to fling oneself into the past and boldly confront the archetypal taste of Champagne,' says Ghislain de Montgolfier, Bollinger's president. Pinot Noir was the only grape available in the 17th century when the first sparkling Champagnes were made. Three hundred years later, it was the English journalist Cyril Ray who was so astounded by the wines from Bollinger's ancient Pinot vines, these Vieilles Vignes Françaises, that in 1969, he persuaded Madame Lily Bollinger to bottle them separately. Two tiny plots by the Bollinger house still yield minuscule quantities of extraordinarily intense Champagnes that come from untrained vines that sprawl close to the earth absorbing the full heat of the soil for optimal ripeness. The excellent 1998 costs £450 from Berry Bros & Rudd (www.bbr.com), Harrods (www.harrods.com) and Fine & Rare Wines (www.frw.co.uk). For the beautiful people, the softer 1999 listed at Sketch is £560 a bottle.
Go West
Further west to Dizy, Corne Bautray is the most surprising vineyard among several jewels belonging to the house of Jacquesson. By rights, the Chardonnay produced here shouldn't be that exceptional: the vines lie high above the village, exposed to the south-westerly winds. The soil is not pure chalk but heavier burrstone pebbles and clay, which yields a big Champagne with a delicately saline aftertaste, raising the wine to the truly fine class. Corne Bautray is also remarkably consistent, proving itself superior to the merely good-ish 2000 vintage and a sure-fire success in the horribly difficult 2007 harvest. All bottles from the Jacquesson range are available from Berry Brothers; the 2000 costs £65 a bottle.
Finally, on to the Côte des Blancs, to happily recommend two gently priced single-vineyard Chardonnay Champagnes, as good as any. Olivier Bonville, the son of the Avize grower Franck Bonville, is a rising star who uses wood sparingly even in his greatest wine from 100-year-old vines. It's called les Belles Voyes and is intense yet dances on the palate with hints of lemon and liquorice for a great price of about £30, by mail order from Cadman Fine Wines (www.cadmanfinewines.co.uk). Not to be outdone, Delphine Cazals, Olivier's better half, has made the magnificent honey-and-minerals 1998 Clos Cazals, one of the finest single-vineyard Champagnes to come out of the Côte in recent years. A bottle costs £57 from A&B Vintners in Kent (www.abvintners.co.uk). Salut!

The Cook
County, Illinois, Coyote Project
INDIRECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: Education & Human
Behavior Modification
Management programs for urban coyotes should begin
with public education and untangling facts from
People should become
aware of coyote signs and understand the differences
between true threats and coexistence.
It is important to
stress that our relationship with coyotes is
directly affected by our behavior — coyotes react to
us, and we can foster mutual respect or a lack of
respect through cues we send to coyotes.
Some people are enamored
with coyotes. They like seeing them near their yards
and attempt to entice them by baiting them, or they
want to try to "tame" them. Intentional feeding,
such as this, should be prohibited, otherwise
management solutions will be only temporary at best.
People should be discouraged from inadvertent
feeding where coyotes are present. This includes
leaving pet food outside at night and maintaining
large bird feeders that attract multiple species of
DIRECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: Removal & Relocation
Lethal Removal:
There are instances where coyote habituation
is so severe that the coyotes can be considered an
immediate threat to people, especially children and
pets. This is when removal is often warranted.
Lethal removal is accomplished either through
trapping/euthanasia or shooting. Coyotes are
difficult to trap or shoot, and these actions should
be undertaken by professionals, especially in urban
Removal efforts should observe state and municipal
Fortunately, because of habituation, nuisance coyotes
are often easier to capture than non-habituated
individuals. Removal programs designed to target
specific nuisance coyotes will be more successful
than broad removal programs that have a goal of
removing a complete population of coyotes. It is
difficult to capture all coyotes residing in an
area, and as coyotes are removed, they are replaced
by solitary ones.
Removal, especially
lethal removal, is often controversial within
communities. This is especially true when the
perceived threat by coyotes is somewhat ambiguous to
residents. Removal programs can also be expensive,
either for residents or municipalities, and traps
can occasionally capture pets. For these reasons, as
well as ethical reasons, coyote removal is best
employed only after education has been attempted or
if there is an immediate, and obvious, threat to
human safety.
One option often used as a compromise is to
remove coyotes with trapping and then relocate them
to a distant site.
Although the primary
objectives of the Cook County Coyote Project did not
involve relocating coyotes, we did monitor 12
relocated nuisance (or rehabilitated) coyotes from
the city of Chicago to document their
movements and fates. We found that no relocated
coyotes remained at their release site despite being
located in favorable coyote habitat (usually they
were gone within 48 hours or less), and each of them
traveled in the general direction of their origin.
No coyotes made successful returns, and many were
killed by cars or hunters as they left the release
Relocation rarely is
effective for any species and particularly so for
coyotes. However, many removal programs still
relocate coyotes with the understanding that it will
likely result in the death of that individual
because relocation is more palatable to the general
public than euthanasia.
The Future of Coyote Management
A major finding from our
research is the extent to which coyotes and people
are living together; we captured more coyotes and
observed more use of developed areas by coyotes than
we expected.
People are often
unknowingly in close contact with coyotes each day,
and in the vast majority of cases, the coyotes are
still serving as ghosts of the cities, much as they
did on the plains.
But coyotes are watching
and learning from us; we influence their behavior,
and it will be our actions that determine what the
future holds for our new neighbors

Hawaiian shirts, 'crooked' drives pay tribute to fallen Greenland police chief
But at this charity event, skill wasn't all that important, especially for the "crooked drive" contest.
Those who knew Maloney said he enjoyed golfing even though he had a lot of trouble with the game.
"I really think Mike did bring the sun here. He's looking down and he's seeing all these great crazy clothes, the Hawaiian shirts, and especially the bright clothing, and most of all, the tribute to him. He was certainly someone who did so much for this state, gave his life in the line of duty. Did so much for others, going out right before his retirement to do his job to help other people, putting his life on the line," she said.
Other funds are also being sent to the families of wounded MBTA Transit Officer Richard "Dic" Donohue and fallen MIT Officer Sean Collier, who was shot and killed after allegedly being ambushed by the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings.
"This is something he would love to do. Having a good time and having fun, that's what he was all about. He would have fun at work, he would have fun with his friends. This, I think, is how he would want to be remembered," Greenland police Sgt. Dawn Sawyer, who also serves on the memorial fund's board of directors, said of Maloney.
"I think this year we're going to do fairly well. The more that we make, the more that we can give back to the community. That's what's important to us," he said.

Hardstyle is an electronic dance genre mixing influences from hardtechno, hard house, hard trance, and hardcore. Hardstyle typically consists of a deep, hard-sounding kick drum, intense faded or reversed basslines accompanying the beat, a synth playing a melody, and detuned and distorted sounds. It bears some similarities to hard trance. Many hardcore artists produce hardstyle tracks as well, and many newer Hardstyle tracks are written in compound time.[1]
Hardstyle was influenced by hard trance, gabber, and hard house. Hardstyle has its origins in the Netherlands where artists like Dana, Pavo, Luna and The Prophet, who produced hardcore, started experimenting while playing their hardcore records. The first Hardstyle events, like Qlubtempo,[2] took place at the beginning of the 21st century. The first few years of hardstyle were characterized by a tempo of around 140-150 BPM, a compressed kick drum sound, a short vocal sample, a screech and the use of a "reverse bass", which can be heard on the offbeat after each kick.
After several successful editions of Qlubtempo and Qlimax, Q-dance registered the word hardstyle as their brand on the 4th of July 2002.[3]
Around 2002, more hardstyle labels emerged. Fusion (with artist as DJ Zany and Donkey Rollers) and Scantraxx (founded by Dov Elkabas) are two of the Dutch labels that started to bring out hardstyle tracks around that time.[4][5]
Around 2004-05 the genre became more melodic and uplifting, somewhat faster (usually 150 BPM), and distorted, sharp kick drum sounds were added. Many producers started to pitch-shift a distorted kick drum to create a melodic bassline that usually plays in pitch with a typical hard trance supersaw or a thinner electro house synth melody. The melody often is in tuplet form, which gives the genre a pulsating rhythm, whereas older Hardstyle as well as other genres such as jumpstyle have more basic melodic structures to them. Thus, nowadays many people refer to the older style as early hardstyle.
In early 2010s, a new variation in hardstyle, named dubstyle[6] was introduced. Dubstyle is the name given to the genre fusion of hardstyle and dubstep. Dubstyle tends to have reversed wobble basslines and take the kick styling of hardstyle tracks, while combining them with the rhythm, groove, and dubstep tempo and effects a fusion of elements of hardstyle with a dubstep rhythm, usually a 2-step or a breakstep rhythm.[7] Because of the sporadic beat in dubstyle, the bass is often more dragged out and/or it doesn't follow a strict offbeat pattern that regular hardstyle incorporates, which in turn results in dubstyle basslines bearing similarities to dubstep basslines.
Since around 2011, more terms to identify developments of hardstyle were introduced. Rawstyle is a type of hardstyle influenced from Dutch hardcore or older hardstyle resulting in darker melodies and deeper-sounding kick drums with more distortion through VST plug-ins such as Devastor, CamelPhat, Ohmicide & TriDirt.[8]

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSHuntington Couple Charged With Child Neglect
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 15, 2014 10:12 AM EST
Updated: Jan. 15, 2014 12:17 PM EST
HUNTINGTON, W.Va (Tiersa Davis)-- A Huntington couple is facing child neglect charges after police said they found the couple passed out.
Marissa Boyle, 23, and Wesley Rowe, 36, both of Huntington were charged with child neglect, according to a criminal complaint filed in Cabell County Magistrate Court.
Huntington police said they were called to the couple's home in the 700 block of Marcum Terrace about 10:30 p.m. Friday after a Child Protective Services worker contacted them. The CPS worker received a call on the agency's hotline about a 2-year-old that had been crying for several hours, the complaint said. Police said they banged on the door for several minutes until Boyle answered. Police said the two suspects had pill residue on their noses, and Rowe was still passed out on the bed. Police said the child was awake and prescription pills were scattered on the floor that was accessible to the boy.
Both suspects were taken to the Western Regional Jail and bond was set at $50,000 each.

NASUWT votes to join pension strike
11:18am Friday 18th November 2011 in National News © Press Association 2014
Members of the NASUWT teaching union have voted to take strike action in the ongoing bitter row over public sector pensions.
In total, 82% voted in favour of industrial action, which now means they are set to join a mass walkout by more than two million public sector workers on November 30.
Turnout for the ballot was more than 40%, the NASUWT said.
NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said the union's members had voted "overwhelmingly to reclaim the classroom and their profession".
More than 220,000 teachers and school leaders took part in what was the union's first national ballot for over a decade.
The results showed that: 82% voted in favour of strike action; 91% voted in favour of action short of strikes.
Ms Keates said: "NASUWT members have voted overwhelmingly to reclaim the classroom and their profession in the face of relentless attacks on their working conditions, pensions and jobs."
Half of teachers have seriously considered leaving the profession in the last 12 months, Ms Keates said, and only the recession is preventing a "mass exodus".
A series of unions have already declared their ballot results, setting themselves on a collision course with the Government. They argue that reforms will leave them paying in more, working longer and receiving less when they retire. Ministers say changes must be made to public sector pensions to ensure they are sustainable for the future.
More than two million workers are now set to walk out on November 30 for a day of action co-ordinated by the TUC, which will disrupt schools, courts, government offices, jobcentres, driving tests, council services and hospitals.

Per Baltimore Sun:
Word around the NFL is that the Dallas Cowboys are very interested in obtaining Ravens inside linebacker Ray Lewis if he becomes a free agent. The speculation is that the Cowboys are willing to give Lewis a three-year deal worth between $27 and $30 million, with $25 million guaranteed.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones believes his team is in the serious hunt for a Super Bowl title next season, and that Lewis could help solve some of the team's problems inside the locker room
I do think Lewis could help with some of the chemistry issues but that's a lot of money for a LB who's 33 and is in his decline. I think this is Jerry being Jerry. It adds one more intriguing personality to the mix and certainly would help sell some seats in the new stadium. Maybe it's a good move from a business perspective but I'd rather allocate that kind of money somewhere else in free agency.
If it were me, I'd cut TO and make signing T.J. Houshmandzadeh priority #1. If Jerry can somehow sign both TJ and Ray Lewis, that would work for me too.
Thoughts on Lewis in a Cowboys uniform for $25 million guaranteed?

text: I just heard this album yesterday for the first time and I was instantly impressed by the agressiveness, which I have never heard in Kreator before (almost as aggressive as Hypocrisy's newer releases). Extreme Aggression will always be my favourite Kreator album, but Outcast might just have slipped into second place. What I really like about this album is how it retains a bit of the sound used in Renewal, but also gains new ground aswell as speed. Kreator have matured into an amazing band (not that they haven't always been amazing). This was released in 1997, but it might aswell have been released in 2007. The sound quality is better than most releases these days, and songs like 'Black Sunrise', 'Leave This World Behind' and 'Phobia' make this album worth every penny.

Has anyone got OpenGL ES working on the S60 3rd Edition SDK Emulator ?
Mine just displays a white screen the whole time. The game was working on previous versions of the SDK. I now have everything compiling, linking, and running with Symbian 9/S60 3rd edition, and tHe game is running in the emulator, and all the texture loading and calls to opengl are working internally. It's just that nothing at all is ever presented on screen!!
Is this a known issue with the emulator ? Is there a work around ?
Has anybody got an opengl example or app rendering on the S60 3rd edition emulator ?
btw: I am using Visual Studio.net 2003 and Carbide.vs

What began as a rumour last month has now escalated into full-blown fact; Ziff Davis have officially sold the 1UP network to competitors Hearst, owners of UGO.com.
Hearst - who more importantly own many of the nation's biggest newspapers along with ownership stakes in ESPN and the History Channel - will however only be taking ownership of the network's online presence.
Which means long-running print magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly won't be along for the ride. This will be the last month the magazine is published, bringing to an end nearly two decades of independent, influential games editorial.
I can't even say how much this bums me out. EGM has always been my favorite gaming publication for one reason or another; when I was younger I liked that it managed to walk a line between "professionalism" and "sophomoric," especially considering that most gaming mags at the time were going for either one or the other (usually the latter). In recent years, especially as my interest in journalism has grown, I'd come to admire them as a source of integrity within the industry.
Which, I think, is the main reason I'm so sad to hear this news. Publishers trying to influence review scores with either veiled threats ("Give Barbie Magic Fun Time an 8 or higher or we pull the ads for all of our games") or flat-out bribery ("Hey, want a free flight to New York City and a stay in an upscale hotel for a few days so you can try out our newest title?") is one of those things that is way too common in the industry but nobody every really talks about - but EGM was different. Editorial policies were put into place that worked to circumvent such back-alley dealings; review scores were changed from numeric to academic, writers previewed games in the magazine's home office whenever possible, and publisher gifts and freebies were refused. In an industry that is often seen as immature and illegitimate, EGM worked hard to show that integrity in journalism means integrity in journalism, whether you're covering a government scandal or Metal Gear Solid 4.
So long, Electronic Gaming Monthly. You will be sorely, sorely missed.
Sushi X for life.

Suddenly, it's Parker Erickson's turn at the helm of the Murrieta Mesa offense.
With prolific senior Chase Chambers lost to a season-ending knee injury, Erickson — the team's longtime backup quarterback — stepped in and led the Rams to the first Southwestern League football victory in school history, last week's 35-17 win over Temecula Valley.
Erickson completed 19 of 31 passes for 320 yards and three TDs.
"I did it for Chase," said Erickson. "He's one of my best friends. I did it for him. I gave my all, the defense executed, the offense executed, and we just did our thing. And it felt really good."
Erickson had certainly spent his time preparing for the job.
"He's been Chase's backup since we opened the school," said coach Justin Schaeffer. "So it's not like he's never taken any snaps in practice. He's really the only guy who has taken any snaps besides Chase."
Erickson had been starting at receiver this season, moving into that position this year because Schaeffer knew he was too athletic not to use in some fashion. Previously, the coaches had been reluctant to use him elsewhere because he was the only backup quarterback.
"This year, we said he's a senior, he's a good athlete, he understands what we're trying to do with our offense," Schaeffer said. "We've got to find a way to get him on the field."
Erickson has 21 catches for 353 yards and a touchdown, and said he "gained some confidence" from his receiving experience.
He brings more of a running element to the quarterback position, having rushed for 51 yards against Temecula Valley.
"He adds a different dimension," said Schaeffer, "in that he is a pretty threatening ball carrier."
Erickson also ran for 62 yards a week earlier against Murrieta Valley, when he split time with Chambers, starting and then returning in the fourth quarter when Chambers suffered his injury.
"Basically, I just take what they give me," Erickson said, "and if (the receivers) aren't open, I just throw it out of bounds or run."
Chambers finished the season with 2,037 passing yards, completing 162 of 228 passes for 25 touchdowns with six interceptions. A year ago, he passed for 2,412 yards and 21 touchdowns.
The domino effect of Chambers' injury goes beyond Erickson's move into the starting role. Davian Neitz, who had been starting on defense, will take over for Erickson at receiver as part of a two-way role.
Freshman Peyton Uhl has been brought up to serve as Chambers' backup, and receiver Khalil Sharpe becomes the emergency QB. "And he's pretty darned good," Schaeffer said. "His freshman year, he was our freshman quarterback, so he's got some experience."

With the score delicately poised at 2-1, a debatable sending-off for Antonio Bocchetti turned the game and the hosts didn't look back.
Two goals apiece for Gokhan Inler and Edinson Cavani, plus an effort from Marek Hamsik mean Napoli have once again closed the gap on league leaders Juventus to just two points.
Cavani returned to the starting lineup after suspension, while Lorenzo Insigne started against the club he fired to Serie B glory last season. Giandomenico Mesto deputised for the injured Christian Maggio.
Ante Vukusic and Vladimir Weiss earned starting places for the visitors, who were without the injured Giuseppe Colucci, Manuele Blasi, Juan Fernando Quintero and Jonathas. Defender Antonio Balzano was suspended.
The hosts put Pescara under the cosh straight from the kick-off. After Insigne fired wide and Mattia Perin turned Hamsik's solo effort around the post, Napoli took the lead on nine minutes.
Inler controlled the ball outside the box, brought the ball onto his right foot and fired a screamer that swerved through the air and nestled into the roof of the net.
Six minutes later, the home side doubled their advantage. Half-hearted defending allowed Insigne's deflected ball to find Hamsik in the box. The Slovakian brought it down and bamboozled two defenders with quick feet and a scuffed shot somehow crept into the far corner.
The visitors cut the deficit on 18 minutes. Damiano Zanon's cross was headed in by Birkir Bjarnason, who rose above Mesto to loop the ball into the far corner.
Just before the half hour mark, Valon Behrami's hopeful 30 yard drive was deflected wide.
Pescara came back into the game. Paolo Cannavaro had to stick out a leg to block Bjarnason's shot, while Vukusic scooped over a close range effort when he should really have done better. Pablo Zuniga foolishly wrapped his arms around Vukusic in the box. Bizarrely, no-one batted an eyelid and Napoli went on the counter-attack. Cavani was given space to chest down and blaze wide. The Uruguayan then sprung the offside trap, but Perin ran out to force the Hitman into a quick decision and snuff out the chance.
Six minutes before the break, Perin spilt Inler's shot and Christian Terlizzi had to intercept to stop Cavani from pouncing on the rebound.
In the second half, Napoli pressed for a third. Cavani brought down a long Cannavaro ball, didn't manage to get enough power in his shot, but Perin still pulled off a fine point blank stop.
Controversy struck on 57 minutes. Cavani skipped past Terlizzi's challenge in the box, but went down under Bocchetti. The defender seemed to get some of the ball, but was harshly given a straight red card. Cavani buried the resulting spot kick hard and low, underneath Perin's body.
The home side were now in complete control. Five minutes after his first goal, Cavani smashed home a second into the roof of the net, after Hamsik rolled the ball across the box. It was Cavani's 10th goal in 12 league games so far this season.
Pescara were denied a clear penalty with 20 minutes to play after Bjarnason went down under Cannavaro.
Insigne was quickly sent clear, but was denied the chance to score a certain fifth when play was pulled back for a Zanon foul. The referee realised his mistake at not letting the play continue, but still booked Zanon.
Cavani was chasing a hat-trick and the match ball, but saw an acrobatic volley saved. Inler did claim his second on 78 minutes. Once again, the Swiss midfielder picked up the ball outside the box, putting his laces through it to smash a fifth goal in off the post.
With a minute to play, substitute Eduardo Vargas squandered a chance when it was easier to square the ball to Cavani.
In stoppage time, Cavani exposed Pescara's high defensive line yet again, but bent his shot the wrong side of the post.

Schroyer's most recent contract
The Casper Star-Tribune posted up a copy of the most contract that Schroyer signed in 2009. Pretty interesting to see the incentives he would receive for ticket sales and team GPA. His buyout is three years at $160,000. None of that is coming from State funds, just private donors.
