The True Strength of Whey
Whey Protein Isolates are the purest form of whey protein that exists. Hydrowhey® consists of proteins strategically broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces called peptides for faster utilization by the body. Both are costly to use, but whey protein isolates and Hydrowhey® hydrolyzed whey peptides are the best whey proteins that money can buy. That's why they're the first few ingredients you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey™ label. By using whey protein isolates and Hydrowhey® as primary ingredients, we're able to pack 24 grams of the fastest, muscle-building protein into every serving with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff you can do without. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.

Bird's-eye view of nest gives peek at world of crows
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Baby crows reach toward the sky for food Tuesday afternoon in a pine tree outside the Herald building.

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
A crow swoops at a seagull on top of the Herald building Tuesday afternoon.
We're watching an up-close show of nature and survival.
Nest-building began about a month ago. Copy editor and bird lover Bill Pedigo first noticed a pair of crows scouting out a long-needle pine next to our building on Everett's W. Marine View Drive.
Crows made trip after trip carrying sturdy sticks to the chosen spot. The big nest, more than a foot across, is in a crook of the tree's high branches. It's a few feet below our second-floor windows.
For at least two weeks, the mother sat on five eggs, which were bluish-green or brown, speckled, and each more than an inch long. Her mate kept watch from a perch on a utility line, at times raising a ruckus to warn off gulls that got too close.
Eggs hatched over the weekend. By Monday, mama crow was sitting on hatchlings, her tail feathers pointing west. On Tuesday she hopped out of the nest long enough to reveal five wriggling babies.
Professor John Marzluff, who teaches wildlife science at the University of Washington's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
Marzluff is the co-author, with artist and naturalist Tony Angell, of "Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans." The book explores how crows, with brains outsized for their bodies, mate for life, adjust to their surroundings and learn to recognize and even scold people. "They mentally adapt to our world," Marzluff said.
The professor said we're now seeing the father crow, and perhaps an older brother from a previous year's brood, taking on food-delivery duty. "They're tending to that nest," Marzluff said. Incubation of the eggs lasted 16 to 18 days, he said. A crow will typically lay two eggs in urban areas, and four or more in places where food is plentiful, Marzluff said.
Mom mostly stays in the nest, except for occasional flights to "stretch, defecate and forage," he said. Dad brings home the bacon. From the Everett waterfront, "they could be picking up small crustaceans, fish, garbage, French fries or chicken from the urban environment," Marzluff said. "With small kids, they want mice, snakes, worms, lots of insects, any kind of high-protein item. Almost all bird nestlings are carnivores."
He said the big birds will fly in, throats bulging with food to be transferred to baby mouths. The nestlings first had naked pink skin but now are turning black. It will be a while before they have glossy black feathers. They'll go through a stage of looking "big and fat, like stomachs with a head," Marzluff said. "Then they'll get feathers and look like birds."
Although crows can live 20 to 40 years, disaster could come at any moment. Most babies "won't survive the year," Marzluff said. "They could all be killed tomorrow by a red-tailed hawk, or fall out of the nest." If they survive two years, chances are good for a long life. Crows produce one brood each year.
If the babies survive predators and other awful fates, Marzluff said they'll start leaving the nest after a month or so. "Time in the nest is variable. If someone throws a rock, they could bolt out of there early," he said.
If they stay, we'll see them walking to the nest edge, stretching and flapping wings. Crow parents provide no flying lessons, nor do they push babies out of the nest.
Marzluff shared a warning: "Be ready to be attacked, once they're out on the ground and can't fly very well. It happened with the cops," he said.
He was recalling The Herald's 2011 coverage of crows dive-bombing officers outside the Everett Police Department's north precinct downtown. "They're like velociraptors," Everett police Lt. Bob Johns said at the time.
"Almost certainly in the cop attacks, they were protecting a nest," said Marzluff, who then quipped "or it could have been personal."
Marzluff sometimes hears people say they have never seen a baby crow. They may have, but not know it. "They'll be big, almost full size, but their tails will be short," he said. Young birds have blue eyes and a pink "lip," a flap of skin between the upper and lower bills.
While those babies are learning to fly or walk, "the parents become very defensive. Anybody who comes into that sphere may get whacked," Marzluff said. "They will hit you with their feet. They can scrape and draw blood. It's not common, but it can happen."
Marzluff suggests staying far from the nest, or carrying an umbrella. If a baby is found on the ground, "don't take it to a rehab place right off," he said. The parents will still take care of it if the baby is put in a safe place in the tree, even in a hanging flowerpot filled with grass.
Marzluff said crows recognize mates by voice, and "around the roost clearly recognize their own young." It's not known how long they associate with their offspring.
Now that they have a home in The Herald neighborhood, they will stick around.
"It's the pinnacle of crowhood. They've got a mate and a territory. They're not going to give that up," Marzluff said. "They have a territory centered around that nest, and they'll visit and defend that territory every day for their lives."

A conference baseball championship hung in the balance Tuesday at Creekside Park in New Bern as Epiphany took on Greenfield.
After spotting the visiting Knights four runs in the first inning, the Falcons buckled down to outscore Greenfield 8-1 the rest of the game, for an 8-5 victory.
After starter Chase Ballenger struggled on the mound, Jared Hill came on to baffle and befuddle Knights' hitters.
Hill pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing just the one run on two hits, while picking up the win.
The Falcons scored three runs in the fifth, then hung four more on the board in the sixth to take the lead.
"Jared (Hill) has been huge in relief for us all season," Epiphany coach Kelvin Neibaur said.
"The kids dug themselves into that early 4-0 hole, but they never quit or gave up and fought back to win."
The victory makes the Falcons champions of the Coastal Plains Independent Conference, with a 7-1 regular season in-conference record.
Hill also went 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored.
Pete Bonacci was 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI while Robbie LaGuardia was 2-for-4 with three runs scored.
"Our first two times through the order, our leadoff man (Hill) couldn't get on base and then he did the next two and we were able to make things happen," Neibaur said.
The Falcons capitalized on three Knights' errors, as each one came in or after the fifth inning, and each turned into runs for Epiphany.
Greenfield - 4 0 0 1 0 0 0 – 5 5 3

Four in the morning, a truck bed filled with tobacco, on the road to the market. Just another workday.
When the 12 men and boys left Deep Run for a market near the South Carolina line on Aug. 22, 1933, there wasn't any reason to think that day would be unlike any other.
But while approaching a railroad crossing at 8:30 a.m. on the south side of Lumberton, driver Haywood Smith believed the whistle he heard came from a nearby factory — only it wasn't. With barely any time to react, the truck slammed into the side of the baggage car of a Seaboard Air Line Railroad passenger train.
Three people died at the scene, two died on their way to receive medical treatment and two more died shortly after reaching Baker Sanatorium.
Jesse Davenport, 26; Louis Davenport, 33; Wesley Davenport, 14; Dick Harper, 22; Burchard Smith, 23; Jack Smith, 21; and Clyde Taylor, 15 died that day. The father of Jesse, Louis and Wesley — Furney Davenport, 57 — succumbed to his injuries soon thereafter.
Zeb Brown, 28; Millard Davenport, 61; Haywood Smith, 26; and Woodrow Taylor, 21, survived the crash.
The story went across the wires, picked up in papers as far away as Texas and New York. First-hand accounts from The Robesonian and the United Press described the destruction in detail.
The collision sent debris 300 yards down the track.
"Parts of three bodies were strewn all along the track," said H.A. Oliver, business manager for the Robesonian in a UP story. "There was a head cut off, and the rest of the body farther down the line. They were literally torn to pieces."
Haywood Smith, miraculously, walked away from the disaster with minor cuts to the face and a bruised leg. He reportedly told investigators he couldn't see the train or the railroad crossing until it was too late, obscured by houses on the road.
"My daddy was standing on the brakes, so they say," said Lexine Jaye, Haywood's daughter and Furney's granddaughter.
In addition to her grandfather, she also lost five uncles in the wreck.
Jaye, born nearly three years afterward, said she didn't know anything about what happened until she was 15, and nothing substantial about the incident until she started looking into it as an adult.
"Daddy wouldn't talk about it, and mother couldn't stand it, either," Jaye said.
Picking up the pieces
The first word reached Deep Run when Sheriff P.S. Kornegay in Lumberton put in a call to the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office. What was described as an undertaker's party left for Lumberton at 11 a.m., returning to town later that afternoon. Reports tell of Kinston residents meeting each other on street corners, in shock at what occurred.
The next day would be a day of mourning.
The Aug. 23, 1933 edition of The Free Press called it "the saddest day in Deep Run's history," noting, "Practically every person in the countryside took today off to visit with the families of the victims."
The Deep Run Free Will Baptist Church held a joint funeral for the Smith brothers, Dick Harper and Clyde Taylor. The Davenports held their funeral service at their home. On a day of turbulent emotions, the weather appeared to follow in kind.
"Arrangements for the funerals were made as a storm raged across the section," The Free Press reported. "A tropical gale sweeping up from the coast drenched the countryside and leveled crops."
The courts
After Lumberton law enforcement held off on charging anyone with a crime, Solicitor Thomas McNeill of Lumberton called for the coroner to convene an inquest. Late at night on Aug. 22, officers placed Haywood Smith under arrest.
"Daddy was under a $1,000 bond, and back then, that was a lot of money," Jaye said. "But he was found not guilty."
A $1,000 bond in 1933 is equivalent to nearly $18,000 today.
The Seaboard rail line found itself the subject of seven lawsuits brought by victims of the wreck, which sought damages of $280,000, equal to $4.54 million now.
After the cases bounced around the civil court system, they went to trial as one matter on June 17, 1937. A jury received the suits at 5 p.m. that day, returning at 10:50 p.m. a verdict of negligence on the part of Seaboard. The rail line was ordered to pay $20,000, or what would amount to nearly $325,000 today.
Seaboard announced its intention to appeal after the judgment.
Jaye said she knew Jesse Davenport and Jack Smith's families settled with Seaboard, but she didn't know about what might have happened to others.
"(Jesse's) baby was about nine months old, and the railroad company gave him a settlement," Jaye said. "And, daddy's brother, Jack — he had a daughter, but she wasn't born at (the time of) the wreck."
Jack Smith's daughter was born a few months later.
Putting the past in the past
The community worked to put the tragedy behind them as they moved along with the business of their lives. And unless you look, it's hard to find remnants of the sadness that gripped Lenoir County during late August, 80 years ago.
But, what happened that day does survive — in the song "Lumberton Wreck" recorded the next year, in the words of journalists long since deceased, or family photos and stories told to relatives around the kitchen table.
And in the Deep Run FWB Church cemetery, a magnolia towers over those whose lives were taken too early, now long at rest.

SIMON BORCHARDT, in a special report for SA Rugby magazine, finds out how the SWD Eagles' deal with Bunker Capital went sour.
One of the more remarkable aspects of the 2010 South African rugby season was the SWD Eagles' ability to perform on the field, while chaos reigned off it. As administrators and businessmen battled each other in the boardroom, the Eagles went about topping the Currie Cup First Division log, before narrowly missing out on promotion to the Premier Division.
But what really happened at the George-based union in 2009 and 2010 when a deal involving a company called Bunker Capital went sour? Various allegations have been made by those involved (see 'War of Words') but SA Rugby magazine will stick to the undisputed facts.
It all began in mid-2007, when a deal was negotiated between the South Western Districts Rugby Football Union (SWDRFU) – represented at that time by its president Stag Cronjé – and Bunker Capital (Pty) Ltd.
They were the primary contracting parties in this deal and were both going to be 50% shareholders in Eagles Rugby (Pty) Ltd – the professional arm of the SWDRFU. Bunker Capital was originally going to buy the 50% shares and the R2.5 million loan account claim against Eagles Rugby held by the South African Rugby Union (Saru) for R1.5 million. But as the shares were effectively worthless Saru opted to give them to Bunker Capital for a nominal amount as it believed the company was bringing value to Eagles Rugby.
That value was an annual payment of R6.5 million for an initial period of four years (total of R26 million). On an annual basis, R3 million would go to the SWDRFU and R2 million to Eagles Rugby, with the Eagles Academy receiving R1.5 million.
Certain monies were paid over to Eagles Rugby for distribution as per the agreement. However, the SWDRFU and Saru claim that, based on the signed shareholders' agreement, there was an underpayment of the money in the first year amounting to R3.4 million, while Bunker Capital insists its financial obligations to Eagles Rugby were met.
The next complication in the deal came when Cronjé, the president of the SWDRFU (one of the shareholders in Eagles Rugby), was nominated by Bunker Capital (one of the other shareholders) to be the managing director of Eagles Rugby and the clubs approved his appointment. This was an obvious conflict of interest.
It then turned out that Bunker Capital had transferred its shares in Eagles Rugby to an entirely separate and distinct third party called Market Demand Trading 464 (Pty) Ltd, which was in the process of changing its name to Bunker Capital Investments (Pty) Ltd (it has still not done so). The SWDRFU was not aware of this entity and never contracted with it. At the time that the shareholders' agreement was concluded, Saru and the SWDRFU were not aware of the fact that the funding obligations of Bunker Capital were to be met through complex private equity fund arrangements, in terms of which Eagles Rugby was required to subscribe for preference shares in that fund.
Underpinning the entirety of this deal was a single and certain monthly income flow: the guaranteed sum of R430 000, being the broadcasting money that Saru paid to the SWDRFU for the union's funding requirements and operational costs (all South African provinces receive funds as part of the broadcasting deal).
That income flow would be utilised by Bunker Capital (alternatively Market Demand Trading 464) in Eagles Rugby in order to raise funding to meet its obligations in terms of the shareholders agreement. As the diagram below shows, the Living Eagles Development Fund (LEDF), which was created to manage the funds, would receive the monthly R430 000 broadcasting money from Eagles Rugby. The LEDF would then give Eagles Rugby a monthly fee of R970 000 (the R430 000 plus an additional R540 000).
Eagles Rugby would use that money to run the professional side of the game, and would pay the SWDRFU a monthly fee of R250 000 to cover its operational expenses.
Bunker Capital planned to use this guaranteed income flow of R430 000 to invest elsewhere, so without the private equity funding there was no deal. Bunker Capital traded this future income stream in parcels, at present value rates, and hoped to raise instalments of capital to meet its contractual obligations, which it did or didn't, depending on who you speak to.
What transpired, and not necessarily in this order, is that the conflict of interest created by Cronjé's dual roles as president of the SWDRFU and MD of Eagles Rugby became untenable and certain suspicions arose around the execution of his functions (with or without substance). The SWDRFU became uncomfortable with how Bunker Capital was doing its business and/or the legitimacy of the manner in which it was doing it. There was also a trust fallout between the two main shareholders – the SWDRFU and Bunker Capital – and certain individuals representing those entities.
It was clear, according to the agreement signed by all parties, that the monies paid to Eagles Rugby would be in the form of an interest free loan that would only have to be repaid if the company made a profit (an unlikely scenario).
Then a whole lot of things happened.
On 21 November 2009, a vote of no-confidence was taken against Cronjé as president of the SWDRFU and he was replaced by Hennie Baartman. Cronjé responded by filing a court interdict, which forced the union to hold another special general meeting a week later. Baartman, though, could not be nominated for president again because of the court interdict, so Faried Stemmet was elected as interim president.
Cronjé walked out during this meeting and took the SWDRFU to court. On 12 April 2010, the Western Cape High Court ruled that the meetings and resolutions adopted at the special general meeting on 21 November by the SWDRFU were in accordance with the law, in accordance with its constitution, and that the newly-elected office bearers validly held office. Baartman was therefore restored to his role as president. Cronjé appealed the court's decision, which was denied, before being granted leave to appeal. This decision is pending, although it is academic as Cronjé's term as president has already expired.
Preceding this court decision, the SWDRFU had decided to withhold the R430 000 broadcasting money from Eagles Rugby, which brought the whole house down. Eagles Rugby could not pass on the R430 000 to the LEDF, so the LEDF would not give Eagles Rugby the R970 000 that the latter needed to pay its operational costs (including player salaries).
In June 2010, Cronjé applied for provisional liquidation of Eagles Rugby and later that month, the SWDRFU, having been prompted by Saru, met with Bunker Capital to try to restore the deal. From the SWDRFU's perspective, a prerequisite to any restoration of the relationship was that it be given the opportunity to conduct an integrity vetting process on the structure of the whole commercial arrangement (the union asked for certain assurances, explanations and documentary evidence). The meeting did not achieve that end from the SWDRFU's point of view and the issues have still not been resolved. The relationship remains fractured and for all intents and purposes is over.
However, the LEDF (the first-tier beneficiary under Eagles Rugby) has launched court proceedings against the other parties, including Saru. The hearing of the matter and the judgement is anticipated to be in 2013.
What the main role players told SA Rugby magazine
DERRICK DE NECKER (CEO OF BUNKER CAPITAL): 'Bunker Capital and its associates set in place a unique structured finance transaction not seen anywhere in South African rugby. It paved the way for rugby to be totally revolutionised in the way it viewed the financing of its operations. SWD became one of the first provinces to become totally self-reliant and not dependent on sponsors at all. After political interference for most of 2010, rugby in SWD has experienced a setback like never before. Not only did rugby in SWD suffer, but South African rugby as a whole.'
DAVE HEGGIE (SWDRFU ADVOCATE): 'The question the SWDRFU wanted answered was: "Where is the [Bunker Capital] money coming from?" Bunker Capital/LEDF's strategy was to sell off the future income stream [broadcasting money from Saru]. The total anticipated future income stream until December 2015 was R40.6 million. The LEDF has already "sold" off the future income stream until January 2013 – worth a total of R20.5 million – for R12 million, of which R7 million went to Eagles Rugby. The other R5 million is unaccounted for. If the contract had been enforced by the courts, Eagles Rugby would have had no rights to the income of R40.6 million and would only have had a claim against the LEDF for the "contracted" funding. Therefore, if the LEDF went "belly-up", all the income would be gone and only a claim against an insolvent entity would be left. Despite numerous requests there is still no evidence that Bunker Capital or the LEDF had any other assets or source of income other than the sale of future income.'
SAM DU PREEZ (LEDF ADVOCATE): 'The LEDF was established as a funding mechanism to raise capital for investment in Eagles Rugby and its projects. Neither the SWDRFU nor Eagles Rugby is in breach of contract with the LEDF. The LEDF issued preference shares to Eagles Rugby in exchange for media rights [R430 000 per month] and commercial rights [to Eagles Rugby] with the approval of the SWDRFU. That contract of subscription has been perfected and all parties duly performed in terms of the contract, thus no breach of contract. Thereafter the SWDRFU perpetrated the theft and fraud against the LEDF in that it "stole" an asset of the LEDF. Eagles Rugby subscribed for preference shares of the LEDF in exchange for all its media rights and commercial rights valued for the period till December 2015 to be in excess of R70 million. This subscription rendered Eagles Rugby solvent. This is vital to note as the first challenge of Bunker Capital was to do a turnaround of the company, which it successfully did.'
STAG CRONJÉ (FORMER SWDRFU PRESIDENT AND EX-MANAGING DIRECTOR OF EAGLES RUGBY): 'As part of its shareholders' agreement, Bunker Capital could choose the managing director of Eagles Rugby and I was asked if I wanted the job. I said the SWD clubs would have to decide if I could be president of the union and MD of the company. The motion was passed by the majority of the clubs at the 2008 AGM, but I assured them I would not run for president again when my term expired in 2010. The SWDRFU then began to withhold the R430 000 broadcasting money from Eagles Rugby in February 2010, which meant the company could not pay the LEDF. In June 2010, Eagles Rugby was placed under provisional liquidation. Faried Stemmet [then interim president of the SWDRFU] and Willem Small [then CEO of the SWDRFU] broke the agreement with the LEDF by not transferring the broadcasting money to Eagles Rugby. They did that because they wanted to kill off the company and get rid of me and Bunker Capital. They wanted me out because I'm white and had laid disciplinary charges against Small [in September 2009]. Stemmet and Small misled the clubs by spreading lies about me, Bunker Capital and the LEDF.'
JOHN BRUINDERS (FORMER SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE SWDRFU): 'Small was charged for a number of things, including his decision to give R110 000 of Saru development money to the rugby academy of PW Botha Kollege – a school his son attended. That money was supposed to be used to develop promising players in the region, but he never consulted with the executive committee before spending the money, which was a breach of protocol. When Cronjé charged Small with misconduct, I was the secretary of the SWD coastal region and Small instigated a political campaign against Cronjé because he knew he was going to lose his job, although I wasn't aware of it at the time. Later on, I was in a caucus meeting when Small and others said that they couldn't have a white man in charge of SWD rugby anymore and that they had to get rid of him.'
WILLEM SMALL (FORMER CEO OF THE SWDRFU): 'We set up a rugby academy at PW Botha before my son attended the school, so giving them that money wasn't a conflict of interest. I was just doing my job and it wasn't a dismissible offence [the charges against Small were later dropped, but he chose to leave the SWDRFU to join the Department of Health]. I would also like to distance myself from any racial remarks Cronjé has made.'
CRONJÉ: 'The SWDRFU said Bunker hadn't brought any money into the union and that the LEDF was a pyramid scheme. For the first time in the union's history, the clubs were getting money from the union and this was because of the deal with Bunker Capital. The fact is the union took the company's money and it broke the deal between the union and the company. Bunker Capital did not break its contract with Eagles Rugby – it paid R3.8 million in the first six months of the deal, which is R559 000 more than it had to.'
HENNIE BAARTMAN (CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE SWDRFU): 'The union paid the R430 000 broadcasting money to the company in January but didn't get any money back, so we stopped paying it in February. This had nothing to do with race. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I appeal to all races – black, white and pink.'
CRONJÉ: 'The union paid the broadcasting money to the company in December 2009 but then broke the contract. Baartman initially refused to pay the money in January so we took out a court interdict against them. The union then relented but still didn't pay all of the money from Saru that it should have. The SWDRFU's and Eagles Rugby's 2009 financial statements show that Bunker Capital never missed a payment. These statements should have been presented at the 2010 AGM, but weren't. Baartman said it was because of the company's insolvency, which is rubbish. He just didn't want the clubs to see the truth.'
SMALL: 'Cronjé says he was forced out because he is white, but the fact is that he tried to be clever by getting Eagles Rugby to apply for provisional liquidation and ended up costing himself his job [as MD]. He blames the union for the company's demise but why would we make a transaction in an illegal operation? When Cronjé left the company it was R18 million in debt and had just R1 million in assets, yet he tells people he turned the union around.'
CRONJÉ: 'The company was R16.8 million in debt and that's because the money from Bunker Capital was not taken into account. If it had been, the company would have been solvent. Small says that the union refused to honour its agreement with the company because there was illegal activity involving the company and the LEDF but then why did the union try to arrange a new deal with the LEDF where the full executive committee of the union, Saru [represented by Oregan Hoskins, Dawie Groenewald and Jan Marais] and the delegates of the LEDF were present? A letter from Small to Saru confirms that this meeting took place and that they were close to finalising a new deal between the union and the LEDF. This is dirty play!'
SMALL: 'I had my suspicions about the Bunker deal from day one, and in February 2010 we suspected that it was a pyramid scheme. But we didn't have any proof, so we couldn't do anything. Saru met with Bunker in May and then asked us [the SWDRFU] to meet with them to try to restore the deal, which we did in June. It was only after that meeting that all the dirty stuff came out about the deal and we decided to stop paying the broadcasting money to Eagles Rugby.'
CRONJÉ: 'Small talks about illegal transactions involving Bunker Capital, but where is the proof? This was all about race. Why else did the three black employees of Eagles Rugby continue to be paid by the union [after the company went into provisional liquidation] while the white employees were not? Small said the black employees worked for the company and the union which is why they were paid, but that is not true, they only worked for the company. If that is his argument then why did they not pay the financial manager, Dirk Goosen, because although he was a company employee he also did the financials of the union and development fund for a number of years.'
SMALL: 'Those three staff members of Eagles Rugby were paid because they worked for the union and the company. It was just a coincidence that they were black. We appointed our own financial manager because we felt that Goosen couldn't be trusted.'

Women's Soccer Draws Belmont Abbey in NCAA Tournament First Round
November 11, 2013
The Pfeiffer women's soccer team (13-6-1) is headed for the NCAA Tournament and earned the sixth seed in the Southeast bracket. For the second time in less than a week, the Falcons will take on Belmont Abbey, who drew the region's number three seed. The two teams battled to a for 110 minutes in the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship game on Saturday afternoon, hosted by the Crusaders. The game was sent to penalty kicks after the 1-1 tie couldn't be broken in regulation, or two overtime periods. Brae Buster scored the clinching goal as Pfeiffer won in penalty kicks, 5-3. The winner of the first round game will take on Lenoir-Rhyne on Sunday afternoon. The Bears were awarded the top seed in the region. Pfeiffer has never won an NCAA Tournament game and last qualified in 2010. They fell to UNC Pembroke in the opening road that season, by a final score of 3-0.

Mom: Son wanted 'suicide by cop'
ENCINITAS Evan Kwik's potent mix of mental illness and heroin abuse was a constant source of terror for his family, who often became the target of his destructive outbursts and suicide threats.
His rage peaked Wednesday, culminating in a 10-hour SWAT standoff at his mother's Encinitas home that left two sheriff's deputies wounded and the 22-year-old dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Deputy Colin Snodgrass, 27, who was shot in the knee, and Deputy James Steinmeyer, 31, who was grazed on the forehead, were continuing to recover Thursday and are lucky to have survived, sheriff's officials said.
The violent confrontation was foreshadowed in a temporary restraining order filed by Kwik's mother just a week ago, in which she warned that he wants "suicide by cop" and will protect himself with knives and bear spray.
"I truly believe there is a very large chance he will die on his own or maybe take his own life," Michelle Kwik wrote in the Feb. 14 Vista Superior Court documents. "He is better off in jail than in a grave. Please help me help him."
When his mother called deputies to her home on Del Rio Avenue Wednesday afternoon, they were expecting him to be armed with the knife or bear spray. Not a shotgun.
Michelle called 911 about 1 p.m. to report her son had come by, upset over the restraining order, and stole her car. The deputies responded, but he wasn't there. They returned about 3:30 p.m., and so had he.
Kwik hid in the attic of his mother's house, made threats and refused orders to come out. Deputies fired tear gas into the crawl space to try to put an end to the escalating situation.
Steinmeyer, who was among a group of deputies inside the house, popped his head through the trap door to get a visual on Kwik but couldn't see him. He looked a second time and was met with shotgun blasts.
Shrapnel struck him on the forehead. Kwik then fired at least five other shots. Rounds sent through the attic floor didn't find a target, but a shot out of an exterior vent went though a neighbor's fence and struck Snodgrass in the knee as he held a perimeter on the home.
Another deputy, who had served in the military, dove on top of Snodgrass, protecting the downed deputy with her body. A third deputy who had just received trauma care training cranked down a tourniquet over Snodgrass' leg to stop the gushing blood.
"It worked. It worked well," said Encinitas Capt. Robert Haley. "It just chokes you up to see their bravery and how they handle stress. They're all incredibly calm."
No deputies returned fire because they couldn't exactly see Kwik's location and they didn't know if there was anyone else inside the home, said homicide Capt. Duncan Fraser.
Members of the Carlsbad police SWAT team were the first crisis negotiators to arrive, and law enforcement officers from around the county responded to the call of "officer down."

Comments about Ritchey Quick Disconnect:
These little widgets are indispensable for configuring a travel bike that folds or breaks down to fit in airline size luggage (like the Ritchey Break-Away). In about 30 seconds you can disconnect or reconnect the cables, enabling a bike to be broken down without worrying about needing to re-adjust derailleurs, etc.
Best Uses
Comments about Ritchey Quick Disconnect:
A necessity for S&S frames. Allows brake and gear cables to separate with the frame and allows handlebar to be packed separately.
Need to use 2 cables where previously there was one as "bullet" head needs to fit inside smaller piece. No room to fit crimp end cap on other cable - just grub screw (one for derallieur, 2 for brakes). Hopefully once done up tight - never need to undo grub screws until cable needs replacing.
I'm using 2 brake and 2 derallieurs disconnects on one surley deluxe frame.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help detect, diagnose, and determine the cause of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) deficiency or excess; to investigate low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia); to distinguish between the two types of diabetes insipidus
When to Get Tested?
When you have low blood sodium or have persistent thirst, frequent urination, and dehydration
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None needed for an ADH test; however, talk to your health care provider about required preparation when the ADH test is performed as part of a water deprivation ADH stimulation test or a water loading ADH suppression test.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water the kidneys reabsorb while they are filtering wastes out of the blood. This test measures the amount of ADH in the blood.
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH is normally released by the pituitary in response to sensors that detect an increase in blood osmolality (number of dissolved particles in the blood) or decrease in blood volume. The kidneys respond to ADH by conserving water and producing urine that is more concentrated. The retained water dilutes the blood, lowers its osmolality, and increases blood volume and pressure. If this is not sufficient to restore the water balance, then thirst is also stimulated so that the affected person will drink more water.
There are a variety of disorders, conditions, and medications that can affect either the amount of ADH released or the kidneys' response to it. ADH deficiency and excess can cause acute and chronic symptoms that, in rare cases, may become life-threatening.
If there is too little ADH or the kidneys do not respond to ADH, then too much water is lost through the kidneys, the urine produced is more dilute than normal, and the blood becomes more concentrated. This can cause excessive thirst, frequent urination, dehydration, and – if not enough water is ingested to replace what is being lost – high blood sodium (hypernatremia).
If there is too much ADH, then water is retained, blood volume increases, and the person may experience nausea, headaches, disorientation, lethargy, and low blood sodium (hyponatremia).
The ADH test is not widely used to diagnose these conditions. Often, a diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical history and other laboratory tests, such as urine and blood osmolality and electrolytes.
ADH deficiency is called diabetes insipidus. There are two types of this disorder: central and nephrogenic.
- Central diabetes insipidus is associated with a lack of ADH production by the hypothalamus or release from the pituitary and may be due to a variety of causes, including an inherited genetic defect, head trauma, a brain tumor, or due to an infection that causes encephalitis or meningitis.
- Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus originates in the kidney and is associated with a lack of response to ADH, causing an inability to concentrate urine. It may be inherited or caused by a variety of kidney diseases.
Both types of diabetes insipidus lead to the excretion of large quantities of dilute urine.
Increased levels of ADH are often seen with "syndromes of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone" (SIADH) secretion. SIADH is characterized by inappropriate (that is, not due to high blood osmolality or low blood volume) production of too much ADH, resulting in water retention, low blood sodium, and decreased blood osmolality. It may be due to a wide number of diseases and conditions that either stimulate excessive ADH production and release or that prevent its suppression. SIADH may also be seen with cancers that produce ADH or ADH-like substances independent of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. Regardless of the cause or source, excessive ADH causes low blood sodium and osmolality because water is retained and blood volume is increased.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
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 for an ADH test. However, talk to your health care provider about required preparation when the ADH test is performed as part of a water deprivation ADH stimulation test or a water loading ADH suppression test.

Read the latest crop reports from the fields across America! Also, submit your own comments.
Use this link to send us your comments (or e-mail email@example.com) about the crops in your local area. Be sure to send us your photos and videos! Comments will be edited for brevity and clarity. (Please keep your comments crop-related.
Here's a sampling of what some folks are saying:
-- Minot, N.D.
(Have any photos of the crops on your farm? E-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) them to AgWeb and have them posted on Crop Comments! Be sure to include a caption.)
-- Ohio
-- East central Iowa
Rain was coming.
Planting beans right behind baler trying to beat the rain.
Baled 26 acres of balage. Planted beans after hay was off.
Wheat yields are expected to be drastically reduced or non-existent in most parts of Texas. (Texas AgriLife Extension Service photo by Robert Burns)
-- Central Missouri
Planting beans on Friday. I hate to say this, but we could
use some of your excess rain that others are getting!
-- East central Iowa
-- Mt. Pulaski, Ill.
This is of the 2137 K-State variety and looks to do okay.
-- Marion County, Kan.
On May 17, Anderson was planting seed corn (middle photo), while employee Daryl Dreesman planted soybeans (bttom photo).
-- Beaman, Iowa
-- Monroe, La.
Road to get to another "in the middle of nowhere fields"
43 acre field (custom work). GPS worked part of the time.
-- East central Iowa
I have heard of one field of beans planted, but nothing widespread.
Wheat started to look rough last week, but now the cooler dryer weather should help. But we still don't have a great wheat crop in the makings. Even with a perfect finish I can't imagine wheat being much better than average. Any extended heat and/or wet will cut yields quickly.
-- Union County, N.C.
There is some decent looking soft red winter wheat around here on the rolling fields but everyone is concentrating on corn and soybeans. It's another interesting year to say the least. I need to scout and pull flag leaves for tissue tests to finish this crop off. (Read more wheat-related comments at AgWeb's www.VirtualWheatTour.com)
-- Bottineau, N.D.
My agronomist checking corn that was planted on May 4.
No-tilling into sod.
-- East central Iowa
We will not have any corn in the ground before May 20th. None of the neighbors, and by neighbors I mean people within 40 miles have done ANYTHING. Corn planting for the area remains under 5%. No beans are done, and almost nobody got in to do any small grains. Manure spreading is way behind, the ones that are going in the field are destroying them. The ports have opened up for a couple hours per day and the guys hauling grain have long waits. I am switching a bunch of acres to soybeans. The ground will never make it by the end of the month, which is cutoff for ins. (May 31).
On the bright side, things cant get much worse so there is nowhere to go but up from here.
-- Mansfield, Ill.
-- Warrensburg, Ill.
My new relief drivers... I was planting field by my girls' daycare and they wanted to help.
Switching planter over to plant beans.
My brother-in-law hard at work.
-- East central Iowa
-- Farmer City, Ill.
-- Wallace County, Kan.
-- Divide and Williams counties, N.D.
Dodging rain showers on Monday.
Left a small track (only 6-8 inches) in gumbo (silly puddy!). They have rain in forecast, may never get back into this field. So it's done now.
-- Chattanooga, Okla.
-- Chester, S.D.

-- Leroy, Ill.
-- Boone County, Mo.
We're folded up and ready to move to another field. 50% done with corn (Friday night). This field was in real good shape.
My son checking out my work. Most fields are in real nice shape. Some are still a little sticky. I would guess corn is 75% done as of Sunday night. Some beans are going in. We received a little rain on Saturday.
My mother's day brunch! I am sure a lot of wives and mothers spent the day alone. Sorry just trying to catch up.
No-tilling corn into bean stubble using auto steer.
My kids call me a slob....I would agree. I try to have everything with me, I don't want to stop.
Planted my biggest field Wednesday, 105 acres. Most of the farm fields around here are chopped up and have hills on them. Planting straight back and forth was a real treat for me.
-- Sangamon County, Ill.
Crossing a creek, praying that I made it through before and after.

With forages in short supply, many farmers were turning cattle in on failed wheat, hoping to recover some of their investment from grazing. (Texas AgriLife Extension Service photo)
Ongoing rains are flooding fields, delaying planting and postponing needed management such as weed control. This south Monroe County corn field was flooded by late April storms. (Photo by MSU Extension Service/Scott Corey)
Timber took a beating from several tornadoes that went across the state April 27. This timber along Highway 403 in Mathiston was in an area among the hardest hit that day. (Photo by MSU Ag Communications/Kat Lawrence)
When planters do roll the crop will be mudded in. Lots of low spots have had standing water on them since our 90+ inches of snow melted. There has been plenty of fall-applied N lost already, and I think we all know from last years crop in Iowa and IL what happens to N in water-logged soil. Its not just around here, that is all the way to SD and down towards IA. There isn't enough seed to go around up here for guys to switch out of 100+ day hybrids. From all the reports I am hearing from MN and Dakotas there is now way we will get anywhere close to 92 million acres. It will be closer, if not under 90 million. Agweb long-range forecast for us up here calls for a cool wet summer. This crop will not mature and will be low test weight and high moisture again this fall if that holds true.
This picture was taken this morning on 5-01-2011. Storm dropped 1/2" of rain then 6" of snow here last night.
-- Ward County, N.D.

If you haven't already done so, please schedule an appointment with your DRS Program Advisor to complete your Instructor Notification Forms prior to the start of classes.
IMPORTANT: The Instructor Notification Form MUST be completed each semester for each of your classes.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Miami University women's track and field team opened the 2012-13 season with a strong performance at the Mastodon Opener, hosted by IPFW Saturday at the Hilliard Gates Sports Center, winning 10 of 16 events.
The RedHawks faced a small field of the host Mastodons, Oakland, Valparaiso and several unattached athletes while also setting multiple personal bests in the season-opening meet. A total of 16 freshmen also got their first taste of collegiate competition.
"I feel like we're way ahead of a year ago. They did a nice job for the first meet. It was very exciting," head coach Kelly Phillips said. "You can go either way with freshmen and their first meet and they came out and competed well."
Miami grabbed the top two spots in the weight throw as redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.) won in her first meet since 2011 after redshirting last year. She won with a personal-best throw of 17.07m/56-0, which ranks her third in school history, while sophomore Adaora Anunike (Galena, Ohio) took second with a toss of 16.49m/54-1, also a personal best that moves her into fifth in Miami history.
The RedHawks nabbed three of the top four spots in the shot put led by redshirt senior Alexandra Roberts (Hilliard, Ohio) in first with a heave of 14.69m/48-2.5. Gable took third (13.60m/44-7.5) while junior Tori Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) earned fourth (13.30m/43-7.75).
Junior Kori Tatman (Amanda, Ohio) captured first in the pole vault, clearing 3.45m/11-3.75, while sophomore Taylor Brown (Hilliard, Ohio) claimed second with a vault of 3.35m/10-11.75, which is an indoor PR for Brown.
Redshirt junior Ashley Zaper (Whitehouse, Ohio) and junior Erica Mudd (Cincinnati, Ohio) went 1-2 in the high jump as both cleared 1.73m/5-8, with Mudd just needing more attempts. The clearance ties Zaper's career-best effort. Mudd also took second in the long jump but was the top attached finisher with a personal-best leap of 5.77m/18-11.25, which is third in school history, while sophomore Jasmine Watts (Carmel, Ind.) took third with a jump of 5.26m/17-3.25.
On the track, Miami also had tremendous success, winning six running events. The RedHawks finished in the top four spots in the 60 hurdles with senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) winning in 8.59 seconds, followed by Zaper in a personal-best 8.80, Mudd in 8.88, another personal best, and junior Xerina Hughey (Galloway, Ohio) in 9.04. A total of six 'Hawks qualified for the 60m hurdles final. Hughey also nabbed third in the 200m dash in 26.58.
In the mile run, Miami swept the top seven spots with senior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio) winning the race in 5:03.78. Sophomore Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y) was the runner-up in 5:16.39 followed by freshman Bridget Johnston (Cincinnati, Ohio) in 5:19.27. In the 800m run, sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) won the race in 2:19.42 while junior Erin Riley (Avon Lake, Ohio) was right behind in second in 2:19.66.
