At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the number of platelets in a sample of your blood as part of a health exam; to screen for, diagnose, or monitor conditions that affect the number of platelets, such as a bleeding disorder, a bone marrow disease, or other underlying condition
When to Get Tested?
As part of a routine complete blood count (CBC); when you have episodes of unexplained or prolonged bleeding or other symptoms that may be due to a platelet disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick (children and adults) or heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are tiny fragments of cells that are essential for normal blood clotting. They are formed from very large cells called megakaryocytes in the bone marrow and are released into the blood to circulate. The platelet count is a test that determines the number of platelets in a person's sample of blood.
When there is an injury to a blood vessel or tissue and bleeding begins, platelets help stop bleeding in three ways. They:
- Adhere to the injury site
- Clump together (aggregate) with other platelets
- Release chemical compounds that stimulate further aggregation of other platelets
These steps result in the formation of a loose platelet plug at the site of the injury in a process called primary hemostasis. At the same time, activated platelets support the coagulation cascade, a series of steps that involves the sequential activation of proteins called clotting factors. This secondary hemostasis process results in the formation of strands of fibrin that weave through the loose platelet plug, form a fibrin net, and compress to form a stable clot that remains in place until the injury has healed. When the clot is no longer needed, other factors break the clot down and remove it.
Each component of primary and secondary hemostasis must be present, activated at the right time, and functioning properly for adequate clotting. If there are insufficient platelets, or if platelets are not functioning normally, a stable clot may not form and a person may be at an increased risk of excessive bleeding.
Platelets survive in the circulation about 8 to 10 days, and the bone marrow must continually produce new platelets to replace those that degrade, are used up, and/or are lost through bleeding. Determining the number of platelets in blood with a platelet count can help diagnose a range of disorders having to do with too few or too many platelets.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is drawn though a needle placed in a vein in the arm or by a fingerstick (children and adults) or heelstick (newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

An agency-by-agency guide to Obama's 2014 budget
Thursday - 4/11/2013, 4:01am EDT
The Associated Press
President Barack Obama has proposed a $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal 2014 that aims to slash the deficit by a net $600 billion over 10 years, raise taxes and trim popular benefit programs, including Social Security and Medicare. The White House claims deficit reductions of $1.8 trillion, but Obama's proposal would negate more than $1 trillion in automatic spending cuts that started in March. Those cuts average 5 percent for domestic agencies and 8 percent for the Defense Department this year.
The agency-by-agency breakdown:
Agency: Agriculture
Total Spending: $145.8 billion
Percentage Change from 2013: 5.9 percent decrease
Discretionary Spending: $21.5 billion
Mandatory Spending: $124.4 billion
Highlights: Similar to years past, Obama's budget proposes savings by cutting farm subsidies. The proposal envisions a $37.8 billion reduction in the deficit by eliminating some subsidies that are paid directly to farmers, reducing government help for crop insurance and streamlining agricultural land conservation programs.
The Obama administration says many of these subsidies can no longer be justified with the value of both crop and livestock production at all-time highs. Farm income is expected to increase 13.6 percent to $128.2 billion in 2013, the highest inflation-adjusted amount in 40 years.
Obama and his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, have proposed similar cuts every year and Congress has largely ignored them. There is congressional momentum for eliminating some subsidies paid directly to farmers this year, though, as farm-state lawmakers search for ways to cut agricultural spending and pass a five-year farm bill. There is less appetite among lawmakers to cut crop insurance.
The budget also would overhaul the way American food aid is sent abroad, a move largely anticipated by farm and food aid groups. The United States now donates much of its food aid by shipping food overseas, a process many groups say is inefficient. The budget would transfer the money used to ship the food to cash accounts at the United States Agency for International Development. The administration says that would help 2 million more people annually and save an estimated $500 million over 10 years. Farm and shipping groups are strongly opposed to the idea.
The bulk of the USDA budget is dollars for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, which are expected to cost around $80 billion in the 2014 budget year. Costs for the program have more than doubled during Obama's presidency, driven by an ailing economy and an expansion of the benefit in 2009. Conservatives have called for cutting or overhauling food stamps, but the budget says the Obama administration strongly supports the current program "at a time of continued need."
Agency: Commerce
Total Spending: $11.7 billion
Percentage Change from 2013: 34.3 percent increase
Discretionary Spending: $8.6 billion
Mandatory Spending: $3.1 billion
Highlights: Obama wants to boost investments in research and development and export promotion in hopes of spurring economic growth.
The president is asking for $1 billion to set up a nationwide network of manufacturing innovation institutes to develop cutting-edge technologies to make U.S. manufacturing firms more competitive.
Obama's budget request also calls for $754 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technology laboratories aimed at making American manufacturers more competitive in the global marketplace. The money is for promoting advances in areas such as cyber security, manufacturing, communications and disaster resilience.
The president also wants $113 million to create the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership. The money would go to projects such as industrial parks and industry academic centers to promote long-term economic growth.
Obama's budget would also boost funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including its weather satellite programs.
The president is seeking $21 million for the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia program, which is a public-private partnership aimed at finding answers to manufacturing challenges that U.S. businesses face.
Obama also is requesting $520 million for the International Trade Administration.
Agency: Defense
Total Spending: $682.9 billion
Percentage Change from 2013: 0.5 percent increase
Discretionary Spending: $615.3 billion
Mandatory Spending: $67.6 billion
Highlights: The Pentagon is proposing savings mainly through ending or shrinking certain weapons programs, shaving health care benefits and reducing military construction. It also would slow the pace of military pay raises. Spending would otherwise be largely the same in all major categories as in 2013.
The budget proposal calls on Congress to approve a round of domestic military base closings in 2015, which would cost an estimated $2.4 billion in the short run but save an unspecified amount over the long term.

Our school LOVE the magnets!
We LOVE the magnets!! They are colorful! We give them out to our new students and all our new KG parents. They are a handy reference for home, office or the car!
Very functional magnet!
Loved the way you could "personalize" this maget - both with our school colours and the text. Also, the price was reasonable and the shipping the fast! I also found "re-ordering" very easy, even after I had to make a change! Overall a great experience dealing with this company!

I got off to the right down the hill on my drive and found it, but throwing out I lost the second shot. I was attempting to throw a little roller that would have probably gone somewhere between the last tree on the left and the basket, but I slightly clipped a tree coming out of the woods and have no idea where I went. It could have turned it left which would have gone down the hill into the muck heading towards #14s tee, it could have gone past the basket into that stuff, or it could have turned right back towards the dry lake bed. I looked in all three places.
I'm not having a lot of luck getting discs back there at this point. I'm still missing a blue Champion Boss (left of the am pad on #16,) a purple/white/blue/green Flick somewhere on the right on #17, an orange Star Boss just across the fairway from the Flick, a glow Destroyer in the thick stuff to the left of the last tunnel on #11, and a yellow Champion Boss waaaaay left on #7. I'd surrender all the others for that Flick, though.

Bryan Habana has challenged the popular perception that the Springboks are the team to beat at this World Cup.
Many of the New Zealand newspapers, television shows and radio stations have hailed the arrival of the Boks following their two big wins against Fiji and Namibia. 'Can anybody beat this side?' seems to be a popular question and theme running through the local media.
The All Blacks made a statement last Saturday when they thumped France 37-17. It was a significant result, as it all but ensured that they won Pool A (they should collect a further five points against Canada this Sunday). It was also a significant performance, as while a number of individuals shone it was a polished collective effort that sent the strongest message to New Zealand's would-be challengers.
Habana confirmed that the Boks have taken note, and moved to play down the hype born on the back of South Africa's big wins over Fiji and Namibia.
According to Habana, only one team has arrived at this tournament. For a team like the Boks, the recent performances need to be viewed in context. They are still a long way away from where they need to be.
'The All Blacks have really laid down a marker, and they are the only team to have qualified for the play-offs,' said Habana. 'They are still the favourites.'
Habana said there's still room for improvement before the do or die game against the Wallabies in the quarter-final. The Boks also won't take anything for granted against Samoa, as a loose performance against the islanders could potentially cost them a place in the final eight.
'When we went away from our structures [against Namibia] there were individual errors. We were good when we got back into our structures later in the game.
'I believe the best is yet to come from this side. It's been difficult [to build much momentum] with all the injuries over the last three weeks. The [first-choice] combinations haven't had much of an opportunity to play together. There's a lot to improve on, and we should start to see those combos clicking in the coming game.'
The Boks put 59 points past Samoa in the previous Test between these two sides. Habana was in top form on that occasion, scoring four tries.
Unfortunately, the Boks' most prolific try-scorer has struggled to rediscover that kind of form in the subsequent four years, and in 2011 the team as a collective has battled to fire against the top sides. While Samoa is not in the top echelon, they will ask more questions than Fiji and Namibia.
'They've improved a lot since 2007,' said Habana. 'They've always been physical but they are playing with a lot more structure in 2011.
'We have to give our all. You can't go into this game worrying about injuries [ahead of a probable quarter-final], rugby is a collision sport not a contact sport. If you're worried about injuries you shouldn't be playing rugby.'
By Jon Cardinelli, in Auckland

Goiter is an abnormally enlarged thyroid gland. It was once a common condition in the United States due to iodine deficiency, but the increased use of iodized salt has virtually eradicated this problem. Goiter cases today are most often a result of the coalescence of benign thyroid nodules, which can grow and sometimes multiply over time. Goiter tends to occur randomly, but it can also be associated with some medications and/or with other thyroid conditions. If the goiter extends from the neck into the upper chest, it is termed a substernal goiter.
Goiter remains an issue in many third world countries. Members of the Division of Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery provide goiter surgery annually in an underserved area of Kenya, where they not only care for patients but also train local physicians to work toward sustainable health care for patients suffering from goiter in this region. Learn more about global health initiatives in the Division.
Patients with goiter may notice a visible, cosmetic distortion of the neck, the sensation of a lump in the throat when swallowing and/or actual difficulty swallowing. They may also have difficulty breathing due to compression of the windpipe.
It is important to assess the function of the thyroid gland in patients with goiter through comprehensive blood testing, as sometimes goiter can represent hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease. In addition to blood testing and an appropriate physical examination of the thyroid, voice box and neck, the thyroid surgeon must assess the exact degree of enlargement of the thyroid and its impact on the neck and upper chest structures. This is often accomplished through ultrasonographic evaluation and CT scanning of the neck and upper chest.
Patients with goiter are evaluated by the Radiology Department at Mass. Eye and Ear, which has extensive experience with radiographic evaluation of the thyroid gland, the neck and structures in the chest. The radiologist and thyroid surgeon work together to determine the best course of action based on these evaluations.

Even though Starz just premiered their new TV series, The White Queen, we already know there won't be a second season.
Based on Philippa Gregory's bestselling historical novel series The Cousin's War, The White Queen tells the story of three very different women as they attempt to scheme, manipulate and seduce their way onto the English throne. The cast includes Max Irons, James Frain, Rebecca Ferguson, Janet McTeer, Ben Lamb, Amanda Hale, Tom McKay, Aneurin Barnard, David Oakes, Faye Marsay, and Eleanor Tomlinson.
The show is co-financed by the BBC in the United Kingdom and Starz here in the states. The 10-part series began airing on BBC1 in June and completed its run last Sunday night.
According to Broadcast Now, the BBC has maintained that The White Queen was intended to run just one season. However, Gregory had hinted that there were hopes to continue the drama via an adaptation of The White Princess. That novel follows the story of Elizabeth of York who went on to marry Henry VII, the first Tudor King.
It now appears that a continuation won't be happening. A BBC spokesperson said, "The White Queen will not be returning, but it is important to note that it was never actually conceived as a returnable series."
What do you think? Are you sorry that The White Queen won't be continuing in some form? Are you glad that the story was designed to wrap after 10 episodes?

Zoltán Kodály (Hungarian: Kodály Zoltán, ); December 16, 1882 – March 6, 1967) was a Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist, educator, linguist, and philosopher.
In 1900, Kodály entered the University of Budapest to study modern languages, and began to study music at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, where Hans Koessler taught him composition.
One of the first people to undertake the serious study of folk tales, Kodály became one of the most significant early figures in the field of ethnomusicology. From 1905 he visited remote villages to collect songs recording them on phonograph cylinders. In 1906 he wrote the thesis on Hungarian folk song ("Strophic Construction in Hungarian Folksong"). Around this time Kodály met fellow composer Béla Bartók, whom he took under his wing and introduced to some of the methods involved in folk song collecting. The two became lifelong friends and champions of each other's music.
After gaining his PhD in philosophy and linguistics, Kodály went to Paris where he studied with Charles Widor. There he discovered and absorbed various influences, notably the music of Claude Debussy. In 1907 he moved back to Budapest and gained a professorship at the Academy of Music there. He continued his folk music-collecting expeditions through World War I without interruption.
Kodály had composed throughout this time, producing two String quartets (op.2, 1909 and op.10, 1917 respectively), Sonata for cello and piano (op.4, 1910) and Sonata for cello solo (Op. 8, 1915), and his Duo for violin and cello (op.7, 1914). All these works show a great originality of form and content, a very interesting blend of highly sophisticated mastery in the Western-European style of music, including classical, late-romantic, impressionistic and modernist tradition and at the other hand profound knowledge and respect for the folk music on Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Albania and other Eastern-European countries. Due to the outbreak of the First World War and subsequent major geopolitical changes in the region and partly because of the personal shyness Kodály had no major public success until 1923 when his Psalmus Hungaricus premiered at a concert to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the union of Buda and Pest (Bartók's Dance Suite premiered on the same occasion.) Following this success, Kodály travelled throughout Europe to conduct his music.
Kodály was very interested in the problems of music education, and wrote a large amount of material on music education methods as well as composing a large amount of music for children. Beginning in 1935, along with colleague Jenö Ádám, he embarked on a long term project to reform music teaching in the lower and middle schools. His work resulted in the publication of several highly influential books and he had a profound impact on musical education both inside and outside his home country. Some commentators refer to his ideas as the "Kodály Method", although this seems something of a misnomer, as he did not actually work out a comprehensive method, rather laying down a set of principles to follow in music education. See also: Kodály Hand Signs.
He continued to compose for professional ensembles also, with the Dances of Marosszék (1930, in versions for solo piano and for full orchestra), the Dances of Galanta (1933, for orchestra), the Peacock Variations (1939, commissioned by the Concertgebouw Orchestra to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary) and the Missa Brevis (1944, for soloists, chorus, orchestra and organ) among his better known works. The suite from his opera Háry János (1926) also became well known, though few productions of the opera itself take place. It was first performed in Budapest and conductors such as Toscanini, Mengelberg and Furtwangler have included this piece in their repertoires.
Kodály remained in Budapest through World War II, retiring from teaching in 1942. In 1945 he became the president of the Hungarian Arts Council, and in 1962 received the Order of the Hungarian People's Republic. His other posts included a presidency of the International Folk Music Council, and honorary presidency of the International Society for Music Education. He died in Budapest in 1967, one of the most respected and well known figures in the Hungarian arts.
In 1966, the year before Kodály's death, the Kodály Quartet, a string quartet named in Kodály's honour, formed.
His notable students include John Verrall.

For centuries, people have been gathering in churches on New Year's Eve for a Watch Night to welcome in the new year. But for African Americans, and especially this year, the event has special significance.
This New Year's Eve marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln.
Many black men, women and children gathered in their churches on the last day of the year to give thanks to God, as they did every year, but also to rejoice over the first step the country was making toward the freedom of slaves.
They waited for word — via telegraph, newspaper or word of mouth — that Lincoln's Proclamation had been issued, according to NPR.org. In fact, it's said Lincoln's hand shook, making it difficult to sign his name because of his certainty he was doing the right thing.
"The slaves actually waited in churches for Lincoln to make his final proclamation declaring that all slaves in the U.S. were free," said Eldress Veronica Jackson of Emmanuel Hill Memorial FWB Church in Kinston.
Many area churches are holding their Watch Nights or New Year's Eve service during the last couple of hours of the year.
Some churches and other institutions around the country will be holding special events. The National Archives is celebrating by displaying the original Proclamation document over the New Year's weekend and hosting a number of programs. The Emancipation Proclamation, by executive order, freed slaves held in states then in rebellion against the Union.
Pastor Sandra Johnson of Tree of Life Ministries in Kinston said Watch Night is traditionally a time to sing songs and give testimonies as to what God has done for members of the church.
"We give Him glory for the past year," she said, "and we thank Him for the incoming year."
Afterward, the congregation shouts out "Happy New Year!" and gives greetings to one another.
Pastor Claude Daughety of A Ray of Hope Christian Church and Ministries in Kinston said his church holds a regular service with praise and worship, testimonies and a sermon.
"We'll be praying at midnight," he said.
Jackson said Night Watch is an opportunity to review the past year and look ahead for blessings. Prayer and exultations are an important part of the service, she said.
Emmanuel Hill Memorial will also have a concert with a soloist, the Rev. Bonita Burney Simmons, and after midnight the church will be serving breakfast — a tradition in some churches.
This year, the celebration may simply be what it is every year, but with an added significance for some.
"We celebrate for all the things we normally do for the New Year," Jackson said, "but it has an added dimension to it. We always recognize that it's part of our giving thanksgiving to God."

HP Pavilion ms213 Power Issue????
by poyeasfy - 12/12/12 11:41 AM
I have an HP Pavilion ms213 that's having an odd problem.
The computer is having some sort or Power issue.
If I click Restart the computer will shut off (a click sound is heard) and will not restart.
If I shut down the computer will shut off (a click sound is heard).
With Either situation I cannot power the system back on by use of the power button, the only way to turn it back on is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. Doing this starts the computer without having to push power.
After the machine is on I can use the power button to shutdown the computer so I don't believe the button to be the problem.
Other than this issue the machine works fine. Will surf the internet no problems.
I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit but don't think my system info is needed here.
Any Ideas?

NORFOLK - Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters is the first in Hampton Roads to partner with a breast milk bank to help premature babies and their moms.
Many times, when infants are born early, their mothers aren't able to produce enough milk and doctors say formula can't compare to breast milk.
'They just look better. They look healthier. They get home sooner. They tolerate the feeds better. They get their IVs out sooner because they can go up on their feeding amounts. Their tummies do better,' explains project coordinator and nurse Ashlynn Baker.
The donated milk is pasteurized and tested before being given to babies.
It's helped Veneisha Tripp Frazier, whose twins were born at 29 weeks.
'I wasn't able to produce as much milk as I should have been,' she says.

He never went through with it and we will never know what Skinstad would have done in the midfield. Now there's another forward with stunning skills, who should also think about moving into the backs.
Schalk Brits is a phenomenal footballer. He is not as good a hooker as he is a rugby player. His skills are more suited to wearing the No 12 jersey than the number 2 jersey. The criticism of him at hooker would not apply to Brits, the midfielder.
Every time I see Brits play I am more convinced the one fell off his jersey. That's the one that goes before the two. In a season of woe and wobbles for the Stormers he has been the one player who has provided those magical moments.
Against the Highlanders he embarrassed their defence with a sidestep where his hips took the defender to London and his feet danced towards Singapore. The change in direction was stunning.
In that same game he set up a try-scoring chance by beating the first tackler with pace, sucking in two more defenders and then squeezing his pass out in the double tackle. It was the stuff you associate with the game's most creative midfielders.
Brits has also shown strength in the tackle to score a try this season and serious gas over 20 metres to outstrip the Cheetahs defence and score. He has been the Stormers most effective runner in broken play or whenever he gets the ball in space.
What the hell is such a talent doing squashed between two fat boys in the front row?
When Skinstad threw the most outrageous of dummies to bamboozle Australian midfield maestro Tim Horan and score at Ellis Park in 1998 he displayed a skill few midfielders in world rugby had when attacking Horan's defence.
Some of what Brits has done in this year's Super 14 has been of similar vintage.
Realistically, Brits is going to struggle to make the Springbok World Cup squad as a hooker. John Smit, the Bok captain, is number one.
The Bulls Gary Botha is another who will be picked before Brits and even Brits's regional teammate Hanyani Shimange is ahead of him in the national pecking order.
The criticism of Brits, the hooker, has been his lineout throwing and concerns about his scrumming. The national selectors, for the past 18 months, have not picked him because they consider him to lack the basic essentials of a test hooker.
But even they have been forced to acknowledge his qualities as a rugby player.
Currently Brits is the most explosive player in South Africa. He is also the most dynamic when he has the ball and a bit of space.
The crowd knows this and there is an expectancy of attacking brilliance every time Brits gets the ball. The guy this season got the Cape Town crowd more excited than any backline player wearing black, including the mercurial Jean de Villiers.
The Stormers coaching staff is too conservative to move Brits into the midfield and to give him a run. The same coaches run Western Province, so they won't make the move either.
Any change of position will have to be driven by the player.
Brits needs to know that his international options as a hooker are limited, but as a footballer they know no limits.
South Africa missed a chance with Skinstad. It would be a shame if five years from now the talk is of another missed chance with Brits.
The opportunity is there to reward the qualities of this player and not knock the perceived deficiencies. As a Test hooker Brits is viewed as being vulnerable. As a Test midfielder he would be invaluable.

Panthers starter strikes out 16 and tosses two-hitter in 2-0 win over 3A power Meadowdale
Doug Ramsay / For The Herald
Snohomish's Bailey Seek pitches to a Meadowdale batter during the Panthers 2-0 win on Thursday in Snohomish.
Doug Ramsay / For The Herald
Snohomish's Trysten Melhart slides in under Meadowdale catcher Rebecca Wright for the first run during the Panthers 2-0 win on Thursday in Snohomish.
If so, then Bailey Seek and the Snohomish Panthers staked their claim in emphatic fashion.
Seek struck out 16 in a two-hit shutout, leading Snohomish to a 2-0 victory over the Meadowdale Mavericks on Thursday afternoon in a meeting between the county's pre-eminent teams.
"This was my kind of game, I love tight games like this," Snohomish coach Lou Kennedy said. "When you get a chance to play good teams, it doesn't matter whether they're conference or noncoference. When two good teams line up and have a 2-0 game, that's a ballgame."
A March snowout caused the nonleague game between Wesco 4A North Snohomish and Wesco 3A South Meadowdale to be rescheduled smack in the heat of league races. And this was no ordinary nonleague game. Both teams came into the game with 13-1 records, the best among all Wesco schools.
Therefore, even though the game was secondary from a standings standpoint, both teams treated it different from the typical nonleague clash.
"Yeah, I really did," Seek admitted when asked if she considered the game a battle for county supremacy. "I think it felt like one of the most important games of the season, knowing they're so good."
Seek responded by being a dominator Thursday. The junior right-hander was making just her second appearance since returning from an injury caused when he took a line drive off her pitching forearm against Glacier Peak on April 8 -- she's still wearing tape on his forearm to alleviate irritation. But there was no sign of rust. She retired the first 11 Meadowdale batters in order, striking out nine, including seven straight. Even in those rare instances when the Mavericks put runners on base, there was always the sense that Seek would terminate the rally herself.
"Bailey's been out for a while, but she works so hard that I knew she was going to be ready," Kennedy said. "She needed innings and she was just dominating today. She has good moving pitches along with decent velocity, so she's tough to catch up to."
Said Seek: "I was living on my rise and my curve. Just coming back from the injury, I'm making sure I over-exaggerate everything so I can make my pitches work."
Meadowdale pitcher Alyssa Reuble was nearly Seek's match. Reuble tossed a three-hitter, striking out seven and allowing just one baserunner over her final five innings. However, the Panthers got to Reuble early, and that proved enough.
"We haven't seen this kind of pitching all season long," Meadowdale coach Dennis Hopkins said. "Snohomish is a fantastic team, they're ranked up there because of this stuff. We shut them down after the first inning and we stepped up to the plate defensively. The offense needs a little work.
"I'm happy with it," Hopkins added. "Coming out of here with them only scoring two in the first inning and holding them for five more innings, that's fantastic. It was a great battle."
Snohomish received all the offense it needed in the bottom of the first inning. Trysten Melhart led off by blooping the ball just over the outstretched arms of Meadowdale shortstop Hailey Costello, legging it into a double. One out later Katlyn Purvis and Anna Pisac grounded back-to-back RBI singles to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead.
Reuble settled down after that. But there was nothing the Mavericks could do against Seek. Seek was perfect through three innings, striking out eight of the nine batters she faced.
Twice Meadowdale mounted two-out rallies. A pair of walks and a passed ball put runners on second and third in the fourth, and back-to-back singles by Rebecca Wright and Reuble broke up the no-hitter and put a pair of runners on in the sixth. But both times Seek got a called third strike to end the threats.
At Snohomish H.S.
Meadowdale 000 000 0--0 2 0
Snohomish 200 000 0--2 3 0
Alyssa Reuble and Rebecca Wright. Bailey Seek and Morgan Greenlee. WP--Seek. LP--Reuble. 2B--Trysten Melhart (S). Records--Meadowdale 13-2 overall. Snohomish 14-1.

Okay, today I'm on "Don't back out of apps" test.
7am - 100%
10:25am - 87%
Previously by backing out of apps it took 6.5 hours to be down to 87%, rather than 3.5 hours today. Certainly seems that backing out of apps makes a big difference to battery life.

Want to add my voice here, as I too am experiencing shockingly bad battery life.
For example, I unpluged my phone from it's charger (100%) at about 00:30 - then went to bed. By 07:30 it was down to 85% - and that was with all background tasks apart from email checks (scheduled, not push), the usual Windows Live stuff (updates to the 'People' and 'Me' hubs) and one app -BBC News Live tile updates.
Over the course of a few hours it received only light use. NO games, music or movies at all. All I did was check twitter a bit using an app, answered a couple of email, some limited web browsing and loaded up the BBC app to look at the news (NO video). by 11:30 it was down to 47%.
This is not at all the battery life I was expecting. I previously had an iPhone 4, which has a similar 'size' battery (about 1400mah), and it had no problem with the sort of usage I describe above, and would typically not drop below 50% before the end of the day unless I started doing stuff like games and music during the day.
Now sure, I know that Windows Phone might be a bit different, but I wouldn't expect the kind of light use I describe to put the handset in danger of not lasting the day.
What's worse here is worrying whether I have a bad handset, or am just experiencing a software issue. Should I take it back? Wait for the updates? Reset the phone to factory and 'try again'?
It's very frustrating to me, having made the bet to move to Windows Phone from the iPhone for the experience to be so totally undermined by this sort of problem -and it IS a problem-. In every other way I love this handset - the OS is great, the experience using it is great - if it wasn't for the battery life issue I'd be completely delighted. Instead I'm left wondering whether I should return it. Doesn't matter how great it is, if it can't last the day, it's pretty much useless.
Nokia - what I'd really, really like from you is to give us more information. Firstly, when you say you are investigating ... what does that mean? Are you in touch with users who are having problems... are you tracking an issue? What do the updates specifically address? What do you anticipate will be the impact of the December and January updates ... were they already in the schedule before the release?
I appreciate that you don't need bad PR when this is such an important launch - but us early adopters are your best ambassodors for the product. The experience we have -right now- will determine what the 'word of mouth' for this product (and for Nokia) will be for the next few months.
Please Nokia - don't be Apple. Talk to us!

It's not the tube - I never get the tube, and am struggling to get 10 hours out of my Lumia. I'm not using it heavily, and have switched off several services such as push email, feedback, etc.
Two days ago I unplugged my phone at 8am, was at home until 12:30 on wifi, went out, and my phone was dead flat by 4:30pm. Completely useless. I wouldn't dream of trying to use fancy things like Nokia Drive or music - it'd be dead within minutes! My 2 yr old iPhone 3GS lasts at least twice as long, and on wifi it'd last for 2 days easily.
So I'm now trying to decide whether to get a refund and just go get a new iPhone, or do I put all hope in the pending updates, and hope they provide at LEAST 3x better battery life?? I'd guess if they don't then by that time it'll be too late to get a refund! I prefer the WP7 interface, but as it stands this thing is completely useless.

Sadly I have to agree with all of the last eight pages of disappointment. I was running WP7 on my HD2 until the screen gave out, and even that old thing had better battery life than this with a 4.3inch LCD screen. I'm totally sold on WP7 as a platform though, so really hope Nokia can surprise us all and come up with the goods in terms of updates.
As Marcwhit says, as we all near the limits of the time we're allowed to return these things there are going to be anxious moments if these game-changing updates are still not live, since I for one refuse to dumb-down the smartphone experience by switching off features.

To the folks who swapped their Lumias: did it make a jot of difference? The question we all are facing is what is normal for the Lumia. I just want to know if I have a defective phone within the 28 day window that Phones4U gave me.
I think my perceived battery life is pretty normal. Today with battery saver I am 82% after 6 hours (so should be 33 hours battery life in total if this drain continues). I take the train in the morning and it seems like it does hammer the battery, I think I dropped 10% during my commute in! (well, phone was on 90% when I got to work then lost a further 8% over next 5 hours).

I swapped mine and it suffers from the same issue. But it was from the same store so if there is a bad batch, its likely it was from the same batch. :\
I contacted NokiaCare again, now that Skyee has urged us to, so lets see if they reply appropriately to me this time... (as opposed to the stock standard prolong you battery email)
FYI, this is what I wrote to NokiaCare:
Nokia Lumia Battery Life Issue
"I contacted support earlier regarding my device's poor battery life and received a common sense reply about how to conserve battery life.
I would like to make it clear that I am not running application and that the battery drain is occurring with only minimal usage (less than 5 calls, all under 5 mins each, no browsing, games, or any other application usage, blutooth disabled). I already received the update that was mentioned, but it has not improved my battery life either.
I have been active on your forums about this issue which many others are suffering from and the advice of one of your people called "Skyee" was to contact you.
My device definitely is suffering from the issue that is being actively discussed. It is already a replacement to a previous Lumia 800 which suffered from the same issue. Should I return it for yet another handset? Or is there another update coming out that will address THIS ISSUE (as opposed to generally prolonging the battery life).
Please respond with attention to my message."
25-11-2011 15:17
I'm wondering whether I should try to get a replacement for this phone too or if the fixes incoming will solve my problem.
I've been having fairly quick battery drain too with fairly minimal use (4 or 5 push emails a day, 1 hour of music, less than an hour of games or browsing, 5 min call, 5 or less texts.) all that gives me about 10 hours before needing another charge.
But the most alarming part for me is that in the 6 days i've had this phone, 2 of the nights my phone was dead in the morning! One time it had about 60% charge before bed, bad enough, but last night it was at least 90% charged before bed but was still dead this morning when I woke 7 hours later. And it took 5 mins+ of my phone starting to charge, then shutting down with "battery critically low" message, at least 4 cycles of that before it stayed up and charging.
What on earth could be using 1000mAh+ in 7 hours when the phone is locked and only running something as taxing as an alarm clock?? I've disabled all my live tiles that update in the background (app highlights, weather app, whatsapp) nothing is activated under background tasks in settings, my uni email is set to push buts its generally less than 5 a day.
Unless I get some reassurance that the fix will help me too i'm going to try and exchange this phone on tuesday.

I didn't want to have to take the usb cable and plug from my pc to the bedroom every night, though right now it does seem to be necessary. But really the point is that its discharging huge amounts of battery when it should be doing almost nothing. Makes me worried I have a defective unit.

Some companies separate their reports into "whitepapers", which include the buzzword-filled marketing stuff aimed at execs, and "technical reports", which include technical details and analysis. In those companies, I would not normally read a whitepaper, since all the good stuff is in the tech reports. However, some companies file them both under "whitepapers", in which case there is often some good stuff buried. Sun used to publish some good technical whitepapers, for example.

Unfortunately most of the jargon doesn't translate to the company, and often that's perfectly okay with the uppermost management, which is why it gets really ridiculous when the CEO (and/or marketing) starts quoting from it, and the engineering staff has no idea what they're talking about. I first encountered this at HP, when Carly Fiorina the Chief Executioner was blowing smoke about her baby "e-speak", which turned out to be mostly smoke and mirrors. She spoke so inspiringly that most people they allowed her to be inspiring without any actual substance. I remember One day I'd had enough of having no idea what the CEO was saying, so I decided as a lowly engineer that I would take her speech and disect it. As I started to study it, I would ask my fellow engineers, management, and their management what the different buzzwords meant. She was basing the whole direction of the company on this stuff... right? So someone should know what it meant. I was flabberghasted to discover that: NO ONE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT!? They all smiled or nodded when she'd come to visit, but after the warm fuzzies had faded and we had to go back to making PCs we still didn't really have a clue how it impacted us at all. Little did we know she was laying the ground work for the dismantling of the company... but that's another story for another time... oh and as far as I was able to discover, espeak turned out to be (as far as I could tell) an hp(ish) proprietary type of XML, back around the time xml was still competing to be the standard open source solution and hp thought they could do better.

Late Turnovers and Second Half Shooting Doom Women's Basketball in Tough 58-55 Loss at Barton
January 21, 2013
WILSON, N.C. - Late turnovers and a poor shooting second half came back to haunt Pfeiffer University on Monday night during a tough 58-55 road loss at Barton College in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action. The Bulldogs improve to 10-4 overall, 9-1 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 11-3, 6-3.
Tied at 52-52 with 4:22 left in the second half after a pair of Jodie Lemons free throws, things would unravel long enough for the Bulldogs to take advantage. A pair of turnovers 36 seconds apart led to two Barton layups and a 56-52 lead. After a Brittany Cox three sliced the lead down to one with 58 ticks left, Janae Jackson converted the final bucket for Barton leading to the final 58-55 tally.
Pfeiffer carried a 32-29 at the half and carried that momentum into an eight-point, 44-36 lead with 13:26 remaining in the half. Christina Harvey and Jodie Lemons accounted for most of the points in the first 6:34 of the half and would hold the lead until a Nyesha Willie free throw squared the contest at 46-46 with 8:20 to play. The Lady Falcons had their last lead with 6:41 on the clock after a Harvey layup before the contest was all knotted up with 4:22 remaining.
Harvey and Lemons each posted double-doubles for the Lady Falcons both snagging 10 rebounds while Harvey scored 16 to Lemons' 15. Cox followed with 14 on the night. Pfeiffer shot a dismal 29% in the second half after a 44% shooting first half. The Lady Falcons did dominate the boards once again holding a 42-31 advantage.
Pfeiffer returns home on Thursday night to take on Coker inside the Merner Gym. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.
