At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
Primarily to diagnose and monitor acute pancreatitis; also sometimes to diagnose and monitor chronic pancreatitis or other pancreatic diseases
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of a pancreatic disorder, such as severe abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, or nausea
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Lipase is one of several enzymes produced by the pancreas to help digest dietary fats. This test measures the amount of lipase in the blood.
Lipase is transported through the pancreatic duct and into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), where it helps break down dietary triglycerides (a form of fat) into fatty acids. The pancreas is the primary source of lipase, but cells in other areas of the body involved with digestion and nutrient absorption also produce lipase, including those in the tongue, stomach and liver.
Lipase is usually present in the blood in small quantities. When cells in the pancreas are injured, like with pancreatitis, or when the pancreatic duct is blocked by a gallstone or, in rare cases, by a pancreatic tumor, increased amounts of lipase enter the blood and result in higher concentrations in the blood.
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.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

A Greenpeace India report just published – "Dirty Talking – Case for telcom industry to shift from diesel to renewable" – highlights the damaging effects of diesel generators on India's economy and environment and calls on Bharti-Airtel – the country's telecoms giant and one of the largest consumers of subsidised diesel – to clean up its act by shifting its network towers to clean, renewable energy and not dirty diesel.Over the last decade, with the huge increase in foreign investment, India's telecoms market has become the second largest in the world; and, it looks set to overtake China for the number one spot.
But, as is so often the case, planning and strategy have become the usual casualties of growth and expansion. The industry now relies heavily on diesel generators to meet an energy demand estimated to be twenty-six billion units by 2012 and mitigate against the inadequacies of India's power grids. Such ad hoc solutions are putting enormous strain on India's economy as well as its environment and the industry pumps over six-millions tones of CO2 from its state subsidised diesel generators into the atmosphere. The diesel subsidies alone cost the Indian government Rs. 2600 crore (about $575m) per year. Join our call for Bharti-Airtel to stop exploiting state subsidies and polluting the environment by leading the way and showing the rest of the industry that clean, renewable energy is an option.To read the full report and find out more, click here.

NORFOLK-- Joe started his morning working with an 18-man crew, pouring and spreading concrete on the fifth floor of the new Norfolk Courts building.
As the pump poured, the laborers spread the concrete. 'I am dripping wet. Sweatin' like crazy up here. Whew,' said Joe.
The guys got up at 3:30 in the morning and started pouring at 5 a.m. They were spreading 14,000 square feet of concrete and then Joe's boss said, 'We only have 70,000 square feet to go!'
'Not too bad right now cause we're almost done. Once we come back up that other side, then I will be going home,' said laborer Pete Wells.
Down below, the Titan truck poured concrete into the pump. On Joe's floor a guy controlled the pump with a wireless operator.
Joe said that it seemed like it just kept coming as you spread it out. And he warned that your boots better be made for walking otherwise you will get stuck.
Archer Western is the company building the new courts complex. 'At the peak we probably have 200- 300 people. And we are shooting for the first quarter of 2014 for completion,' said project supervisor Tom Uram.
Watching all this construction is clerk Tim Baldwin who came to work in Norfolk Circuit Court 47 years ago, when the old building was brand new.
'That will be 50 years. What does that say about somebody finding something they really love to do? That I really love my job and always have,' said Baldwin.
The construction guys working with Joe said they love their job too, most of the time.
'I used to love it. The older I get the less I like it,' Cory North joked.
After his brief shift, Joe was pleased to hear his foreman say he didn't do that badly.
'Oh yeah you are doing better than some guys that we had before. Way better. So anytime that you want we are looking for someone to help us out,' said Jesus Hernandez.

|Aerial Photograph of the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
Alachua - 1968 - 2KK - 21 (county - year - flight number - tile number)
The University of Florida Map & Imagery Library houses the largest and most complete collection of Florida aerial photographs (~160,000 photos) outside of the National Archives. These photos document the dramatic changes in Florida's land use between 1937 and 1990. Originally intended to assist farmers in accurately assessing their farms and to provide information on crop determination and soil conservation, today these images provide some of the oldest land use/cover information available. They are used extensively in agriculture, conservation, urbanization, recreation, education, hydrology, geology, land use, ecology, geography, and history.
The online Aerial Photography: Florida Collection can be used to access and download aerial photographs from the library's extensive collection. The years available vary by county but extend from 1937 - 1990. Please note, the images are intended for education, historical evaluations, general planning purposes and aerial photograph preservation, not for measurement use or as legal documents.
There are currently two search methods available:
Images from this collection can be downloaded as JPEG 2000 (JP2) files. Information on free JP2 viewers is available from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (http://data.labins.org/2003/General/reference/graphics_tips.cfm) and the Irfanview software is available as freeware (http://www.irfanview.com/) to view, convert, and batch convert JP2 images.
The Aerial Photography: Florida Collection has been funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Florida Department of State, State Library and Archives of Florida. The Aerial Photography: Florida Collection was funded by three Library Services and Technology Act grants (proposals: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III).

When ASPCA staffer Rena L. saw a veterinarian cradling a tiny animal in her arms, she wondered, "Is that a turkey? What's a turkey doing at the ASPCA Adoption Center?"
Then she realized: The tiny animal was in fact a cat—one who had suffered severe chemical burns on her back, scalp and other parts of her body. Kylie's ears were singed off, and she couldn't walk or close her red and cloudy eyes.
"My heart was completely broken," remembers Rena, ASPCA Adoption Center Department Coordinator. "Ever since that moment, I'd go visit her when I was done with my office work, for 30 minutes to an hour."
Late last year, Kylie was found hiding behind some bushes, quietly suffering, when two dogs sniffed her out while out on a walk. The dogs' pet parent took the first step toward saving Kylie's life: He brought her to ASPCA Animal Hospital. But Kylie's struggle was far from over, and our veterinary staff didn't know if she'd pull through.
"It was really touch-and-go with Kylie because she'd lost so much skin," recalls ASPCA veterinarian Dr. Patricia Wagner, who treated Kylie. "We didn't know if she'd be able to blink, or walk, ever again."
Kylie needed several surgeries, specialist care and extensive treatment for her injuries. She spent months at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where everyone fell in love with Kylie and her sweet, patient personality. "Everyone knew who Kylie was," says Dr. Wagner. "There were so many people here pulling for her. We didn't want to fail."
Then one day it was clear to our veterinarians that Kylie's recovery had turned a corner—she was out of the woods. In fact, Kylie was ready to continue her recovery in a foster home. Rena's was an obvious choice. Rena began fostering Kylie in February, eagerly taking on the medical regime her new foster kitty required: pain medicine, fish oil and eye drops, all twice a day on a rigid schedule. To protect Kylie's burns and promote healing, Rena purchased her a T-shirt. When the shirt didn't quite fit, Rena had it tailored.
Today, Kylie is an integral part of Rena's family and fast friends with Lafaille cats Gizmo and Cleopatra, a Beagle called Maya, and Baby Jin, a four-and-a-half-pound Chihuahua who is her playmate and constant companion. Rena continues to work with Dr. Wagner on Kylie's treatment, and they're hopeful she won't need medication one day.
"Kylie will never, ever give up no matter what," Rena says. "It was her spirit that got her through this. She's really an incredible cat."
We can't think of a better example of the animals our members' support touches. If you haven't lately, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA today. You'll assist animals like Kylie—those already fortunate enough to be in our care, and those still waiting for our help.
Emma, You have said it all, from the heart, so well. I have three cats and a dog, and I cannot imagine anyone hurting one of my darlings like this. Rena, you are an angel, put on this earth by God, to help this wonderful kitty, and many others like her. I love your animal family, and how they took Kylie right in and made her feel at home. I briefly had thoughts of anger, thinking about who might have done this to her, but I quickly put these thoughts out of my mind to concentrate on the good in this wonderful story, the life of Kylie. Thank you, Rena, and the ASPCA, so much, and also that wonderful savior who found her hiding, suffering unimaginable pain. May God continue to bless you so we have you as angels to always help the animals. Please give Kylie a caress behind the ears for me, if she can handle the touching. I will continue to pray as she recovers in your loving home.
You put into beautiful word exactly what I felt when reading this story! God bless the gentle soul who found Kylie, all the staff at the ASPCA, Rena and her lovely family and sweet, sweet Kylie who never gave up. <3
You put into beautiful word exactly what I felt when reading this story! God bless the gentle soul who found Kylie, all the staff at the ASPCA, Rena and her lovely family and sweet, sweet Kylie who never gave up. <3
I share your sentiments, Emma. I am so grateful to all who have given dear Kylie a new lease on life. She has touched my heart, as well, as have Rena and all of the rescuers and care-providers at the ASPCA. God bless the man who first rescued Kylie and the precious little canines who sniffed her out. May Kylie live a long, happy and healthy, pain-free life. She's a little spirited miracle!
God Bless the ASPCA and the kind soul who found her only if Kylie could talk she could tell us who did this "they" are asking for really bad karma
I am glad she is on the road to recovery I am glad I donate to the ASPCA monthly
to help animals like Kylie
Beautifully written Emma, you said everything I wanted to say. And I too love how this story didn't touch on the nightmare of who did this, but only on the goodness of Rena, the vet(s) and all who helped and were rooting for this amazing kitten. I have three current rescue kitties in my home - all 3 crammed with personality. It's a constant joy knowing what I saved them from, and the rewards are endless.
What beautiful words you wrote about this precious kitty. It's so sad that some kid most likely did this to her; a serial killer in the making. I don't understand how anyone can harm an innocent animal. As an animal advocate and volunteer for a local rescue group, I have encountered many cruel crimes but none this horrendous. I am appalled by such acts and I only hope and pray that this person will someday realize the horrible act of violence that they committed and try to make amends.
I, also, agree with Emma. I have been rescuing animals; since, I was a child. God bless all!
This just breaks my heart that there are people in this world than can do things like this without any care at all. Amen to everything Emma said and yes I hope Kylie continues to get better. She is a beautiful cat even with her scars. Cats have feelings. I have been taking care of two kittens born with cerebella hypoplasia and if I had not found their mother before they were born they probably would not be here and they are precious even with their disability's. Love them dearly.
I totally agree with Emma. Seeing the pictures of Kylie and hearing what happened to her broke my heart. I can't stand the thought of some sick, twisted person abusing abusing an animal. They have total trust in you and give you all they've got to give and then to think that they would have to endure all that pain and misery from a human that they thought they could trust. God Bless you Kylie and I pray that you become pain free. God Bless you too Rena for taking her home to love and care for her. God Bless the ASPCA for saving Kylie's life.

In the end this recipe turned out amazing but "we" had a rough go of it at first. It was a typical day, with typical ingredients in the Nouveau Raw Kitchen… It started with protein powder, raw honey and coconut butter in a bowl. I was just going to whip up a frosting, nothing special, just a plain vanilla frosting. I soon learned that there was no way that this was going to turn into a creamy frosting with just a spoon in my hand. So I transferred the mixture to the food processor, I put on the lid and flipped the switch. Small clumps formed, hmm, I don't think this is going to work. So out of pure experimentation, I started adding water by the tablespoonful. Soon it resembled frosting BUT it was so gritty. It tasted amazing but it had to have a good mouth feel too, I was starting to get discouraged.
One more observation came into play… it was getting thicker and thicker as the seconds were ticking by. I wasn't ready for this! I quickly scooped it into a measuring cup so I could get a yield count for the recipe. It was thickening up quickly. I then transferred it into my piping bag… it was getting really thick. I starting piping it out onto my sugar cookie and my favorite Fat Daddie silicone piping bag sprung a leak!! A tiny pinhole formed and this glorious frosting was oozing out. What to do, what to do…. I ran out the garage, both hands cradling my piping bag. "Honey, I need some duct tape and I need it fast!" Bob slapped a piece of gray duct tape onto my orange piping bag… what a sight, but there wasn't a second to be lost in laughing over the situation. I ran back to the kitchen, with only three cookies frosted, the contents in the bag were no longer spreadable. Shew, all this fast paced work was tuckering me out. I grabbed a teflex sheet from my dehydrator and squeezed out little
blobs kisses (see below) until I had used up all the frosting. All this excitement pooped me out so I put the tray in the freezer since it didn't fit in the fridge. Hang in there with me…
After I cleaned up my mess, I realized that I had grabbed the wrong protein powder when I made this. I meant to grab my raw natural protein powder but instead I grabbed the whey protein powder. I have yet to try making this with my raw Sunwarrior protein powder so I am not sure how that will work. Another adventure for another day. I pulled the tray out of the freezer and peeled a little kiss off and popped it into my mouth. The miracle was born!!! It tasted exactly like a marshmallow! The texture now firm, remained glossy and was so chewy!
The cooked version of marshmallow is a confection that, in its modern form, typically consists of sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin that has been softened in hot water, dextrose, vanilla flavorings, and sometimes coloring, whipped to a spongy consistency. This healthified version is packed, I mean loaded, with protein, healthy fat and a natural sweetener. This thing is filled with plenty of health benefits.
So after this long-winded story, I'm just so excited :) I present to you… "Marshmallow" Kisses. Enjoy! The key to this treat is to be prepared. Have a tray lined with parchment paper set aside… have your piping bag and tips all set up and ready to go… have a roll of duct tape near by… turn off the phone, put on some toe-tapping music and have fun!
So after a long-winded story (sorry, I am just excited :) I present to you… "Marshmallow" Kisses. Enjoy!

With a few discussions with Martin, Jeremy and Adam we are happy to come to a conclussion that we are going to have a 2009 bag tag challenge. I am only going to order 40 tags for 2009 with 1-10 being gold and 11-40 being silver.
This year will be a little different as we are going to give a benefit to those joining LDGC a $5 discount on the tags. So if you join the LDGC for 2009 your tag will be $10. If you choose not to join the LDGC, you can still participate in the bag tag challenge but the cost of your tag will be $15 like it was in 2008.
One additional item is that only $1 from each tag will go to fundraising for the LDGC instead of the $2 that was collected in 2008. More than likely, the $1 from each tag will go to the CVO as well has the money collected from last year.
I will be ordering them this week or next and tags will be given out on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of having an opening tournament. Since it is part of the membership drive, when you pay Sam or other club officers that are taking 2009 memberships send me a pm or post a message that you have paid and I will start the Taggers list and hand out tags accordingly.

Chad Reed heard the whispers and read the stories about how he was washed up as a motocross rider. As his winless streak grew, the 31-year-old Aussie began to wonder if it was indeed time to park his bike for good.
Everything changed with last weekend's win in Anaheim, Calif.
Pulling ahead late in a wild race filled with crashes and numerous lead changes, Reed won for the first time since 2012, ending a 22-race winless streak and giving him the boost of confidence he needed.Anaheim, Chad Reed, Supercross

If you have been living with incontinence, you may have modified your daily activities around bowel movements. Some people become homebound, fearing an accident in public.
The good news is that you don't have to live with incontinence. Over the last few years, more treatment options have become available which can provide additional ways of improving lifestyle.
What is the cause of incontinence?
Both men and women can be affected by incontinence. There are several causes of incontinence. The most common causes include damage to the anal muscles or nerves during childbirth.
After a thorough history and physical examination, you and your physician will formulate a treatment plan that is right for you. One or more treatment options may be recommended to address your particular symptoms:

Scrumhalf Mike Blair has been called up to the Lions' squad to tour South Africa.
Ireland No 9 Tomas O'Leary's fractured ankle ruled him out and handed the opportunity to the Scottish captain. Lions coach Ian McGeechan took two weeks to opt for his fellow countryman, who was nominated as one of five IRB Players of the Year in 2008.
'The selectors and I have had plenty of time to review the situation in terms of a replacement scrumhalf and were in agreement that Mike Blair should replace Tomas,' said McGeechan. 'He was on our reserve list for such an eventuality.'
'Mike is an excellent addition to the British & Irish Lions squad. As a national captain he is well respected by his peers and his 58 Tests for Scotland mark him as a very capable and experienced scrumhalf.'
Other options included Danny Care and Peter Stringer, but McGeechan and co chose Blair – who has been in good form for Edinburgh recently – after an ordinary Six Nations.
A replacement for injured centre Tom Shanklin has yet to be announced but Gordon D'Arcy and Mike Tindall are thought to be leading candidates.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Barry Wasserman: Much said been said about illegal immigration from both sides of the debate ["Give us an immigration plan that works," Letters, March 31]. It has become a watershed for both rational and irrational feelings.
|NOGALES, AZ - MARCH 08: U.S. Border Patrol ranch liaison John "Cody" Jackson (R) and cattle rancher Dan Bell ride through Bell's ZZ Cattle Ranch at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 8, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona. Agent Jackson meets regularly with local ranchers to coordinate the agency's efforts on border issues, including drug smuggling and illegal immigration from Mexico. Bell, a third generation rancher, grazes cattle on nearly ten miles of border property. Nogales, Mexico is seen on the far side of the border fence. (John Moore, Getty Images)
The immigrants of the 1920s did not have the government support as the immigrants of today do. They immigrants of yesterday were ostracized, banned from most neighborhoods, terribly discriminated against, utterly poor, and couldn't speak the language. They mostly came from Europe – with a bulk from Ireland and Italy. Many came with only the clothes they wore and lived in the ghettoes with their own kind.
Without education they took inferior, hard and dangerous work that the non-immigrant majority would not do. There was little in terms of government handouts or welfare. There was no running into hospitals when giving birth to gain access to good health care paid for by the tax dollars. Moreover, immigrants were discriminated against and resented by the majority. The Ku Klux Klan became the arm and spokesman of the bigots to harass immigrants, at times with significant portions of the country in agreement.
The liberalization of society and government today has had drastic effects on society. Emma Lazarus' patently American credo, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," never implied that we should provide support, welfare, medical care and schooling for the masses, some things that never were, but now have become, entitlements that contribute to the cataclysmic closings of hospitals and defaults on many cities across the nation.
Our government is headed down a negative path. The federal government continues printing funny money as if it had value at all. This country cannot continue on this downward spiral and maintain to be number one.
Logic of civil unions
GARDEN GROVE, Paul Ogle: Elise Power's letter in support of gay marriage she reminds us that legal marriage between man and woman that cannot produce children ["Supporting gay marriage," March 24]. She argued that defining marriage for those who are able to procreate denies marriage to those who are infertile, elderly or choose to adopt.
This is such complete exaggeration of the facts. Whether a man and a woman marry to have a family or not have a family has nothing to do with marriage. It's a biological fact that in order to bear children it requires a man and a woman. If you read Webster's definition of marriage it is defined as the union between a man and a woman. Even in our day to day lives, such as in the world of plumbing and electronics, the use of a marriage is defined as a male and female in use of fittings.
I believe we should look at the reason why gays feel they are being singled out. It's because they are not privileged to enjoy the same rights of married couples. We should not desecrate the sanctity of marriage to provide this benefit for gays. If gays want to live together, then it makes more sense to provide for civil unions of two people.
Traditional marriage is what it is. Don't try and force a square peg in a round hole. If any couple wants to form a civil union, then we should provide and avenue for this to happen and quit trying to destroy what has been in place since the beginning of time.
Definition of marriage
SANTA ANA, Bonnie Compton Hanson: Why should receiving valid state and federal benefits depend on so-called "gay rights"? Instead of insisting that health insurance, death benefits, hospital visitation privileges, owning property, inheritances, tax purposes, and all the rest can only be granted to those living together, and rather than changing the definition of marriage that has survived thousands of years so far, why not create a whole new all-inclusive official family category for legal purposes?
These "Registered Family Units" (or a similar official name) should include married couples with or without children at home, same-sex civil unions, grandparents raising their grandchildren, children caring for elderly parents, siblings living together, convents, monasteries, couples or individuals with adopted children and the like – as long as at least one of the family unit is of legal age. These families would need to be registered, just as marriages are. However, they would not include as single family units large cultic communities, assisted living homes, college dorms, fraternity houses, corporations and so on.
Yes, let's make right current injustices and treat all people with courtesy, respect, and fairness. However, that does not mean we must change either our nation's definition of marriage—or God's!

The F29 was fined tuned by Fox to provide a comfortable ride for big wheeled bikes. The F29 has superior stiffness in order to counteract the larger wheelbase flex. To ensure buttery smooth cycling, the uppers are Kashima coated. Kashima coating is a hard anodizing process that fills in any micro pores in the material creating a smoother surface, in comparison to a hard anodization on prior versions. Its distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes including extreme durability as well as an extremely smooth feel. The whole purpose and value of the Kashima coating is its friction reduction properties.
The Fox F29 features the FIT cartridge. FIT stands for Fox Isolated Technology. FIT technology employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes.
For 2013, Fox has added CTD technology to this fork. CTD is short for Climb, Trail, and Descend. It is a three position on the fly system that provides three distinct compression dampings that you'd typically need on an average ride. CTD is extremely useful on the trail. The rider is quickly able to flip the lever between the three positions, and which results in being used numerously throughout the ride. CTD is much faster than the older click system, where the rider would have to stop and click through to find the proper setting.
Climb mode has the firmest low- speed compression, which maximizes pedaling efficiency and has minimal suspension movement. Internally, the oil flow is restricted, and can only flow through the Climb port, which limits the suspension's movement. In the event of a hard impact, the spring loaded blow- off valve will allow the damper to go into its travel. Trail mode provides an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and control on variable terrain. The oil flow is opened to the mid and high speed compression shim stack. Descend mode provides the rider with the most active suspension. Descend mode is an optimized low- speed compression setting which provides the perfect balance of control and plushness for steep, aggressive descents. Oil is able to flow through the high, mid, and low speed ports. CTD is easily controlled by switching the dial on the crown of the fork. This quick and easy adjustment allows the rider to control their suspension on the fly.
This version of the F29 has Adjustable Trail mode. Once the lever is set to Trail mode, this fork allows the rider to have an extra 3 clicks of trail mode adjustability (soft, medium, and firm.) Adjustable Trail mode acts as a fine tune low speed compression adjustment. Adjustable Trail mode provides the rider with maximum suspension adjustability on the trail.
Climb, Trail, and Descend mode technology will change the way you ride. CTD makes it easier for the rider to adjust their fork to adapt to the terrain ahead.

Prep baseball: Glacier Peak tops Mountlake Terrace 14-8
Three innings in, Glacier Peak led 12-0 and was six outs away from defeating the Hawks in five innings due to a 10-run mercy rule. Then the Hawks' offense found life and eight outs later Terrace brought the tying run to the plate.
At that point, the Grizzlies retook control of the game and stymied Terrace, ending its rally and finally beating the Hawks 14-8 in the Wesco South opener for both teams.
"We knew they're a good team and they can score runs, but we thought we could get six outs before they could get enough runs to (get within 10 runs and) keep it going. ... We were wrong," Glacier Peak head coach Bob Blair said. "You've got to give them credit. They didn't quit."
Glacier Peak got off to a quick start, scoring five runs in the top of the first inning as all nine Grizzlies came to the plate. By the bottom of the fourth, Glacier Peak had built a 12-0 lead and had the game looking like it was all but over.
Then the Mountlake Terrace offense got rolling.
Held hitless the first three innings, the Hawks rallied for four runs in the bottom of the fourth, getting two key hits after loading the bases with three walks to start the inning. Their onslaught continued, producing eight unanswered runs in a three-inning span.
Glacier Peak reliever Tanner Braun ended the Hawks' surge in the bottom of the sixth with two runs already in and the bases loaded. Taking the mound with two outs, he struck out a batter to end the threat.
"I wasn't comfortable, that's for sure," Blair said of the sixth inning. "But I knew we still had a couple of pitchers, including Tanner, left to pitch. I was pretty confident in his ability to go out and pitch and not give up four runs."
"We believed we could do it," Mountlake Terrace head coach Andrew Watters said. "The kids believed we could do it. I believed we could do it. You just try to create that situation. You realize you're maybe one or two more clutch hits away from doing it. I've seen it before."
Braun was the fourth pitcher used by Glacier Peak, after starter Mitch Pohrman and relievers Cody Campo and Casey Welch. Pohrman didn't allow a hit in his three innings before being pulled from the game so that he could pitch again later in the Grizzlies' three-game series against Mountlake Terrace.
"Mitch Pohrman threw well in his three innings. He shut them down. He did a great job on the mound," Blair said. "He understood we may need him on Friday. It's about trying to win three games from a good team."
While Glacier Peak (1-0 league, 5-1 overall) used four pitchers in Tuesday's contest, Mountlake Terrace only sent two pitchers out to the mound.
Senior Connor Clausen relieved starter Ben Reijonen with two outs -- and seven runs allowed -- in the second inning and pitched the rest of the way for the Hawks.
"Quite honestly that is huge," Watters said. "You talk about the three-game series -- well he saved arms for the next two games by being able to pitch well enough to eat up those innings for us. It was nice to see Connor settle down. Those middle three innings he threw in his outing where great. He was shutting them out and keeping us in the ballgame. He deserves a lot of credit for keeping us in that thing."
Glacier Peak's Branson Barnecut batted 3-for-5 with three doubles, three runs scored and two RBI and Sean Elledge (2-for-3) hit a two-run triple, a double and had a run scored. The Grizzlies finished the game with 23 hits, a total that was, at the very least, a season-high for Glacier Peak.
"We've only been open for five years so that might be an all-time high for the school," Blair said.
Things were going so well for the Grizzlies early on that even when Glacier Peak batters struck out they scored runs.
Braun, who was 4-for-5 with four RBI, got an RBI strikeout in the top of the second inning after he swung and missed, then made it to first after the ball got past Mountlake Terrace catcher Wyatt Alleman. Austin Hines scored from third base on the play.
"They just put the ball in play," Blair said. "The thing I think (that helped us) more than anything is our team speed. Guys are beating stuff out, guys are putting pressure on the defense and that's what's helping us more than anything. ? We teach aggressiveness. We teach to utilize our speed. Not waiting for things to happen makes things happen."
It was the second almost-spectacular comeback for Mountlake Terrace (0-1, 3-3) this season. The Hawks lost to Cascade 12-9 on March 15 after trailing 12-1 at one point in that game.
"We've had that happen before," Watters said. "We hung in there. We got the tying run up to plate. We play them again (Wednesday) and hopefully we gain some momentum from that. We're not going to quit.
"At some point, I think we want to try to not be in that situation though," Watters added with a laugh.
The Hawks' Quintin Barnard batted 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored and Jason Shevenko -- who was hit by two pitches, one of which shot off his batting helmet -- was 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and a run scored.
"Quintin with the doubles and Shevenko, those were big hits. Those guys are good hitters," Watters said. "? Quintin is a captain and leader of the team. It's good to see him hit a couple doubles. I think that might get him going."

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Arlington High School's Terry Dawn runs a drill during practice Monday afternoon in Arlington.
Most likely to succeed: Arlington
The 4A North should be very competitive this season, but with the return of perhaps the best offensive player in the league, Terry Dawn, the Arlington Eagles come into the season as the favorite.
Arlington head coach Nick Brown reluctantly accepts the expectations on his team.
"I don't like having a target on my back," he said. "I never do. But I think these guys have worked hard and I think people recognize that."
Brown also said that being the favorite doesn't guarantee wins.
"Our league is tough, it's just a tough league," Brown said. "To say we are the favorites is quite a compliment, but we haven't done anything yet."
The Eagles coaching staff and the coaches of the other team's in the league know what Dawn can do, but Arlington's success will come down to the play of supporting cast. Brown said there will be a learning curve for several players who haven't played a big role on varsity before and hopes to see improvement throughout the season.
Most likely to surprise: Snohomish
The Panthers were just one game away from getting to the Tacoma Dome a year ago, but getting back there could prove tough.
Not only did Snohomish lose one of the best scorers in the state in Luke Hamlin, but role players like Kevin Yates, Mitchell Stewart and Gabe Reichenberger are all gone to graduation as well.
That said, head coach Len Bone has done this a time or two before and he will have his team ready to compete. Russell Crippen is back for his senior season and will be one of the leaders of the team, but the real key to the season will be how the newcomers adjust to their new role on varsity.
Most likely to score 40: Terry Dawn, Arlington
At 6-foot-4 Terry Dawn has a unique skill set that allows him to be quite the offensive threat. Dawn has the size to go inside, but the range to step out and shoot the 3 at a high percentage. With Dawn's length and ability to drive and shoot he is a very difficult player for other teams to guard.
"He's a lot stronger than people realize and so he can go inside and outside," Arlington head coach Nick Brown said. "He can shoot off the drive and he can shoot off the catch, he's really good at that. He finds other players. He's a good passer. That's another thing that has really improved for him."
While Dawn is capable of putting up big points on any given night, Brown said his unselfishness is one of his greatest assets.
"It's all about the team and we preach that here and Terry has bought into that," Brown said. "If we can find those moments where he can take over because he is going to have to do that sometimes. But I think he has found the right mix of when to do it and when not to do it."
Most likely to get caught stealing: Dakota Tomson, Lake Stevens
A quick athletic guard, Dakota Tomson is one of the best on-ball defenders in the league. His lateral quickness and quick hands help him get into passing lanes and create steals for his team.
Tomson's ability to cause turnover results in fastbreak opportunities for the Vikings. Turning defense into offense is one of the greatest strengths of his game.
"Dakota's combination of quickness, tenacity, knowledge and competitiveness have a chance to set him apart as an elite defender," Lake Stevens head coach Mark Hein said.
If the Vikings are going to challenge Arlington for the league championship, they will need Tomson's defense throughout the season.
Most likely to succeed: Jackson
The Timberwolves surprised some, but not themselves, by making it to the Tacoma Dome a year ago and though they didn't place, the Timberwolves proved that they can play with the best 4A team's in the state.
This season expectations are high for Jackson. They didn't lose much from last year's team and all the key components are back this season. Jason Todd is considered one of the best players in the state and will lead the way offensively for the Timberwolves. The surrounding cast of players, led by point guard Dan Kingma and players like Brian Zehr and Kyle Graff, will have to be at their best, however, if the Timberwolves are going to achieve their goal of bringing home a trophy from the state tournament.
Head coach Steve Johnson said the Timberwolves have to back up their role as the favorites on the floor.
"As anyone will tell you, preseason predictions don't mean anything and we have to play hard and unselfishly to accomplish anything," Johnson said.
Most likely to surprise: Mariner
Team defense and offensive execution will be a focus for the Marauders this season and that offense will be led by Bayek Tutlam, who is capable of scoring big point on any given night.
Head coach Tom Jensen said when Mariner plays pressure defense and is offensively aware they are a good team. Steady improvement throughout the season is the goal.
"Our goals as a team is to get better every day," Jensen said. "As the season progresses we want progress so that when the playoffs come we are playing our best basketball. My hope is that Wesco South is surprised by our new level of focus and improved decision making on the court.
Most likely to score 40: Jason Todd, Jackson
Todd is a player that has the offensive skill set to do it all. He can shoot from the outside, post up and score inside, score off of offensive rebounds and he gets the free-throw line with frequency.
Still, Johnson said one of Todd's strengths is his unselfishness.
"It's funny that Jason is the most likely player to score 40 because there is a part of me thinking, 'he'd never get 40 because he'd never take enough shots to,'" Johnson said. "In other words, he's such an unselfish player. And, he can definitely score, but his strength is his all-around game."
Most likely to get caught stealing: Devin Joseph, Edmonds-Woodway
Joseph is one of the quickest guards in the league and can pick almost anyone's pocket.
"He sets the tone for a very solid defensive team whether they are in man-to-man or if he's patrolling the top of their zone," Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said.
Joseph's play, along with the post presence of Travis Bakken are a couple of reasons why the Warriors should contend in the Wesco 4A South.

Keeping track of your personal financial history is becoming more and more complicated these days, as credit card companies change their rules, new regulatory laws are enacted, and our exposure to fraud and identity theft increases. The libraries in Delaware County want to help you understand your credit report with a program entitled, "Credit Reports: Reading Your Credit Report" offered at two locations in the next few days.
Presented by the Consumer Credit Counseling of Ohio, this program is part of the "Making Cents" series, a collaborative set of programs on financial literacy for all ages. "Credit Reports" will be at the Delaware County District Library's Orange Branch on Thursday, October 13 at 7 p.m., and will be repeated at the Community Library of Sunbury on Tuesday, October 18 at 7 p.m.
The Delaware Library's Ostrander Branch will present a family program on financial literacy called "Right on the Money" on Saturday, October 15 at 11 a.m. Filled with fun facts about money, coin tricks, origami with currency, and stories to help your children learn more about money, this program has been a great hit with kids and their parents.
The "Making Sense" financial literacy series, sponsored in part by the Friends of the Delaware County District Library and the Delaware County Bank, continues through mid-December. Check the web sites or call the Delaware County District Library, the Community Library of Sunbury, and the Wornstaff Memorial Library in Ashley for more information on these programs and upcoming ones.
Can baseball fans who get hit with a ball sue the team or the player?
According to Black's Law Dictionary, no. While being a baseball fan can be a dangerous prospect, in the last few decades the courts have consistently come down in favor of the teams, leagues, and stadiums when it comes to lawsuits regarding spectator injuries. Most of these cases get dismissed under the doctrine of assumption of risk, a defense in tort law that prevents a plaintiff from recovering damages if the defendant can show that the plaintiff voluntarily and knowingly assumed the risks inherent to the activity they were participating in when they got hurt. In the case of baseball, this means that spectators are usually considered to be assuming the risk that a ball, bat, or glove may leave the field and hit them.
Where is Riker's Island and what is it?
Riker's Island is New York City's main jail complex, as well as the name of the 413.17-acre island on which it sits, in the East River between Queens and the mainland Bronx. As noted in World Book Encyclopedia, the island itself is part of the borough of the Bronx, though it has a Queens ZIP code. The jail complex, operated by the New York City Department of Correction has an annual budget of $860M, a staff of 7,000 officers and 1,500 civilians to control an inmate population of 14,000. The official permanent population of the island, as reported by the United States Census Bureau in 2009 was 11,355. The island is thought to be named after Abraham Rycken, a Dutch settler who moved to Long Island in 1638 and whose descendants owned Riker's Island until 1884, when it was sold to the city for $180,000. It has been used as a jail ever since.
Who is Rudd Weatherwax?
Ruddell Bird "Rudd" Weatherwax was an American actor and animal trainer. He and his brother Frank Weatherwax are best remembered for training dogs for motion pictures and television. Frank's collie, Pal, became the original Lassie, handled by Rudd for the 1943 MGM film "Lassie Come Home." He also handled the dogs for the Lassie television series which ran from 1954 to 1974, and trained Spike for the 1957 feature film "Old Yeller." I checked in Merriman-Webster's Biographical Dictionary and found this information.

Does Your 401(k) Hold Employer Stock? You Can Save Taxes, Receive Income, Reduce Risk, and Make a Gift
May 2015
Sometimes a company's retirement plan—often a 401(k) profit-sharing plan—is heavily invested in the company's own stock. That was unfortunate in the case of Enron, whose stock plummeted in value and destroyed the retirement security of many of its employees. However, in many instances company stock has proved to be an outstanding investment choice for its employees' retirement funds, including significant tax savings. And you can receive even more benefits upon retirement—save more on taxes, receive retirement income, reduce risk, and make a future gift to our organization—by contributing the company shares to a charitable trust.
How to best benefit from significant appreciation in company stock
If you have a 401(k) holding your employer's stock and it has appreciated significantly in value, you may have an excellent tax-saving opportunity when you retire or otherwise separate from service. That is to have your lump-sum distribution paid out in-kind with company stock rather than cash.
At the time of the distribution you will be taxed only on the purchase price of the stock, not its full value. The income gain in the stock is taxed later when you sell the stock—but it will be taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income.
Example: Suppose that you are aged 66 and planning to retire this year and that the market value of the company stock held in your account is $400,000 but the cost basis is only $40,000. At the time of the distribution you would include in your ordinary taxable income just $40,000. Later, when you sell shares to generate retirement income you will be taxed on the capital gain—but the federal tax rate on that gain might only be half of the ordinary income rate.
A distribution in-kind of your employer's stock is a way to ensure a lower tax rate on part of the value. Thus you should inquire as to whether your company's plan permits participants to elect to have lump-sum distributions paid out in the company's stock—and if so, seriously consider doing this.
How to achieve additional tax savings, reduce risk, receive income, and make a gift
Although your employer's stock may have performed very well in the past, there is a risk in continuing to hold too much stock in a single company that might suffer reverses. Diversification would mitigate that risk, but if you sold some of the stock distributed to you and invested in other securities, you would incur tax on the gain.
To reduce risk, save taxes, receive retirement income, and make a future gift to support our work, you could contribute the distributed shares to a charitable remainder unitrust. In the example described above, you would avoid taxation of $360,000 of capital gain and receive initial income of $20,000 per year (given a payout rate of 5%). You would also be entitled to a charitable deduction of approximately $185,000 (somewhat less if you and another person are beneficiaries) that can be used over a period of up to six years.
Your trust could sell some or all of the shares and create a diversified portfolio that reduces risk. The unitrust would pay no capital-gain tax upon this sale because it is tax-exempt.
Upon the termination of the unitrust, which would normally be at the end of your life (or upon the death of any surviving beneficiary you name), we would use the remaining assets for the purpose you have designated.
Possibly you would choose to divide the company shares, contributing some to the unitrust and retaining the rest. Because your gift would have generated a charitable deduction, you could sell shares you have retained and use the deduction to offset tax on the gain. You thereby retain personal capital to invest as you wish while at the same time creating a stream of income with the unitrust.
We would be pleased to answer your questions about this plan and to produce a financial illustration showing how it might work for your situation.

Baun Pusuk, Food, Hotel, Lombok, Mount Rinjani, Restaurants, Senggang Gile, Shopping, The CRC, Volcanic Eruptions, West Nusa Tenggara
It keeps on getting better towards the third day, as I was taken directly to face nature in Lombok. We went on the road that cuts through the mountains on the west side of Lombok, and ended up at Baun Pusuk Monkey Hill, where at a rest stop, we can see a big part of Gunung Sari and the Gili Islands. This was the rare occasion that I can see trees that are able to sustain on the hills, which is lacking in Malaysia.
Then we embarked on a 90 minute trip to the north, across the forest and the villages, with amazing scenery of lands fertile with greeneries that are so pleasurable to the eyes. Later, we finally arrived at the destination, Rinjani National Park, an area hosting what is now known in history as the location of the deadliest volcanic eruption in all civilization, thrice more powerful than its West Nusa Tenggara twin, Tambora.
What happened in 1257 then annihilated Samalas, which was part of Rinjani, pushing 600 megatonnes of sulphur into the air as high as over 40 kilometers, that later covered the earth with volcanic ash from the artic pole to the antartic pole, and changing the weather so drastically around the world until even winter failed to happen and the living suffocated and many buried, a time that is now known as the year without summer.
Mount Rinjani these days however, is much friendlier. At the rest house in Senaru, we took a good look at the famed mountain, before walking down to see one of the three waterfalls that are popular here. The 10 minute walk ended with first the sound, and then the sight of Sendang Gile, that pours down from above the mountain with so much force that I got wet just being many metres from it.
I wished I had time to see the second waterfall Tiu Kelep, 20 more minutes away, which by research I knew was going to be one of a marvel beyond imagination, but it will be a good motivation for me to come back. We settled with dipping our feet in the cold waters, and my friend suggested I rubbed the rocks of the waters on my eczema infected part of my leg. The rash subdued, and has not itched since.
The hike back up gave me a much needed exercise I hoped. We then stopped by the Rinjani National Park Information Centre, in the middle of the start of the Rinjani Trek, and with Senaru Traditional village beside it. Positives there, as they are cementing the trek, which would delight all hikers. But the surprise of that afternoon was to know that the traditional village there is actually made partially out of cow's manure!
We ended the evening on the way back to The CRC, at a famous eatery spot at Sengigi, called Taman. Probably the pick of the lot of the places I had meals in Indonesia in terms of the ambience, which is a nice mix of orange and black deco, and I enjoyed my Asian Salmon dish. Here I drank Bintang beer for the second time in this trip. Yes, Indonesia, a Muslim state, brews internationally recognized alcoholic beer.
At this night, I am beginning to miss the place, knowing I have only a full day left to spend here. I stepped out and sat on the sofa outside as the peacefulness carried me into a moment of meditation. I realize there is an uncanny energy from the tranquility of The CRC at night, perhaps due to its location in the middle of a village land between town and forestry that seem to drown most of my bad memories away. So surreal.
I woke up late the next morning, struggling to get into the mood of sightseeing as the relaxing life in Lombok was infecting me. I felt like sleeping, but by lunchtime, there was one more Indonesia food I had to try, which is Nasi Puyung, Indonesia's version of Malaysia's Nasi Lemak. I do not know which came first, but Nasi Puyung is served different, with village chicken that is unadulterated by growth hormones.
After lunch, I lazed around the room as the clock ticks towards a dinner event in town. This is to be the first time in a year since I had full make up on, and I will be donning the gorgeous green dress I bought a couple of days ago in the capital. Held at Lombok Raya Hotel, and officiated by West Nusa Tenggara's governor Dr. TGH M. Zainul Majdi, it was a launch to introduce Lombok and Sumbawa to the world.
We all reached the hotel later at night, and I was confronted with the temptation of even more incredible food, an array that would be a vegetarian's dream come true. After helping myself with 2 full servings of rice topped with veggies and beans, we were all called to the hall to witness the event.
The governor is the coolest politician I ever encountered, not comfortable with the event extolling his virtues and his authority, and rather wanted to just get on with his job and the ceremony. It was a fun night with video screening of the Visit Lombok-Sumbawa video, a variety of cultural dances, choir singing and award presentations to the outstanding achievers of West Nusa Tenggara's tourism industry.
We went back and spent time in The CRC hallway, chatting and joking all the way till midnight. It was depressing to know that I had to leave this awesome place the next day. The environment really beats hotel stays, purely because we get to experience the deepest solitude and serenity, close to nature.
I boarded the flight back home on New Year's eve with a heavy heart, cherishing the many memorable moments of my stay. The enigmatic smell of nature in Lombok is something I never felt in KL city. The word has often been used before, and I must say yes, The CRC and Lombok are a paradise that is a constant need for me, that I simply cannot get enough of.
Which is why I can say for certain, I will definitely be back. And I aim to conquer Mount Rinjani one day…
… and get absolutely wet under the waterfalls of Tiu Kelep!

"I am not allowed stuffing or rice so this was an excellent alternative. I cooked it my Nuwave oven and it came out great."
"To all those "commonsense is required"!!! cooks out there, you "KNOW how much your family can or cannot eat at a meal. So fix as many birds your family needs. If you use "commonsense is required" and eat portions that are healthy for you eat and enjoy sensibly.This goes to "Maiden Fair" you just as well take all the meat off the bones and feed it to the dog and eat the bones if you are that concerned about how the bird is prepared. jensenal"
"Hal47, You are right. Don't eat it. Get real, my family portion is Half a Cornish Hen ea. They put aside what they won't eat. They're sure to finish it off later. Heavens sakes it Christmas. You can heat up a lean Cuisine!!!!!!"
"These were very good. To the previous poster who is alarmed at the calorie count...DON'T MAKE IT THEN! I have to watch my calorie intake so I just used olive oil on mine and removed the skin upon eating. Even without the skin, it was delicious (I never eat the skin on chicken either, just a personal preference). But my husband, son and daughters ate it as is and loved it. Making them again on Christmas Eve. Thank you for the recipe!"

To help you plan your event, we have a wide range of free, downloadable resources such as posters, flyers, factsheets, videos and classroom materials.
There is also free advice to help you maximize publicity in the media.
And, after your event, we'd like to celebrate your achievements with you. Upload your photos, tell us how it went, and get those who participated to comment as well. Your pictures and stories will go on this website alongside others from all over the world.
