Mother Nature was gracious, registration filled out to a respectable number and the Rahlves Banzai Tour kicked off with its defining spills and thrills on an alternate venue at Kirkwood this past weekend.
"It was awesome," said Daron Rahlves, organizer and promoter of the four-stop Rahlves Banzai Tour, which he touts as the world's premier big-mountain skicross- and boardercross-style race series.
"We found really good snow and probably the best track we've had. It was long, it was demanding and it had all the elements, with big turns and super tight slalom-style turns. There was even this cat road that was sending skiers over 100 feet in the air. It made for some good excitement, and we got lucky with the weather too."
Due to low snow conditions, the original course down the steeps of Eagle Bowl was moved to the Snow Snake Gully, which, coupled with bluebird skies for Sunday's final day, proved ideal for racing, Rahlves said. The gully was backlit Sunday, providing clear visibility over the assortment of rollers, bumps and banks that littered the challenging course.
"I think it was the toughest track physically that we've had. It was pretty demanding," said Rahlves, a Truckee resident and former Olympic alpine ski racer who now serves as Sugar Bowl's ski ambassador. "It was so long, and the terrain was relentless. It just kept coming at these guys."
A total of 75 athletes raced, which was down from last year but still plenty to make for a competitive atmosphere, Rahlves said. Many of the top finishers from last year's inaugural tour returned — including overall men's ski champion Marcus Caston, women's ski champ Shannon Rahlves and men's snowboard champ Sylvain Duclos — all hungry to take home a piece of the lucrative prize purse.
John Bochenek of Squaw Valley, who posted the eighth-fastest time in Saturday's solo qualifying run, advanced through all three heats before he swept past George Rodney of Colorado with a deft move in the final en route to the win. The victory earned him $3,000 and a starting slot in the Banzai Super Final on the last tour stop — a one-run, winner-takes-all heat among all the ski division winners, plus Rahlves himself, worth $10,000.
Lucas Matelich of Salt Lake City was second behind Bochenek, followed by Caston and Rodney. Greg Lindsey of Tahoe City, who won the Sugar Bowl stop last year, and George Hjelte, another top contender from Tahoe, took each other out in the semifinal round. Toby LaMar of Colorado recorded the fastest qualifying time Saturday, but he crashed one of the Sunday heats.
"All the athletes who competed were fired up. It was tough, though. There were a lot of DQs," Rahlves said. "A lot of guys were coming in hot to certain sections and not shutting it down for whatever reason — maybe they were side-by-side or whatever. I was a little bummed to see that happen, just because we had some big names go out."
One of the biggest names in the industry, snowboarding icon Shaun Palmer from South Lake Tahoe, proved that he is still as fast and competitive as ever. Palmer advanced past the first two men's snowboard heats and into the final, where he placed runner-up to speedy Frenchman Sylvain Duclos, who now rides out of Tahoe City, in a photo finish.
"It was pretty cool that we had Shaun Palmer come out," Rahlves said. "He's still fast. And Sylvain, he's like a cat. That guy is so smooth. He's fun to watch. When it gets rough, he just butters everything."
Dave Trout and Jason Kosich were third and fourth, respectively, in the men's snowboard final.
In the women's ski division, former U.S. Ski Team member Keely Kelleher of Utah raced to the win ahead of Reno's Shelly Robertson, a former member of the U.S. Freestyle Team, and Shannon Rahlves of Truckee. Tara Hines was fourth. Mallory Olney captured the win in the women's snowboard division, beating Rose Marie Daiek, Christy Deysher and Brithany Thomson in the final heat.
"The word is out now. Everybody had a blast, everybody was fired up, and I think the energy is going to continue to build," said Rahlves, who's now switched his focus to creating an alternate course for the next stop, Alpine Meadows on Feb. 23-24.

Tesla Roadster
Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle built by the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, Tesla Motors.
The Tesla Roadster can last an average of 244 miles per battery charge. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in a time of 3.7 seconds.
Although the car was unveiled in July 2006, it only became open to the public in December 2009. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors, was the first person to receive a Roadster in February 2008.
In the United States, the base cost of the Roadster is $109,000 before a $7,500 federal tax credit. Other discounts and tax cuts apply in several states, as well as numerous countries in Europe and Asia.
Recently, Tesla Motors announced that they will begin leasing the car in the United States for $1,658 per month. This offer includes the Tesla Rangers service deal, where Tesla mechanics come to the car for service and repair, instead of bringing the Roadster back to the original dealer.
As of January 2010, Tesla said it has produced more than 1,000 Roadsters for customers in North America, Europe and Asia.

The verification code only pops up if you aren't logged into your own google account. The current crop of spammers seem to just make their own blogs, then set up their programs to make use of the fact that they DONT get a captcha image.
Blogger should really let us force even fellow blogger users to enter a captcha, that would cut down on a lot of this, and its not THAT hard to put in a code every time you post.

Results vs. Erskine College (2008-02-09 00:00:00)
February 9, 2008
|Falcons Win By 7
|Saturday, 09 February 2008
|Due West, SC- Erskine hosted Pfeiffer University today in women's basketball action. The game was very closely contested with 16 lead changes and 9 ties. The Falcons of Pfeiffer were eventually able to take control and hold on for the 77-70 victory.
Erskine played a great first half shooting and impressive 56.5% from the field, 45.5% from behind the arc, and a perfect 4/4 from the free throw line. Fleet sharp shooting allowed them to take a slight advantage (35-33) into the halftime break.
During the second half the Fleet matched their first half scoring, but the Falcons were able to put up a stiff 44 points in the second half to pull away from Erskine. Pfeiffer gained a huge advantage from the free throw line hitting 21/28 to Erskine's 12/14.
Pfeiffer had all five starters in double figures: Ashelle Athill (16), Kalee Smith (15), Allegra Purnell (13), Devona Knight (12), and Octavia Trammell (10).
Pfeiffer will return to action Wednesday when they have travel to Lees-McRae for a 5:30 pm game.

2009 Art Bus Red
Out of Stock
I have often compared the art of blending to painting, like having more colors on my palette and palate! In both, the artist uses different hues (flavors) to create something truly unique and delicious. This is a rich layered blend. I sought to capture the thrill of art as a tribute to artists everywhere; strive to create beauty. This is also our charity bottling where 15% of our sales go to Heifer International, helping families all over the world.
Wine Specs
Vintage 2009
Varietal Red Blend
Appellation Napa Valley
Alcohol % 14.6
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes Our second release of this unique blend. The aromas are open, deep, rich, and enticing of black cherry and ripe plums, with notes of graham crackers, cinnamon, cedar, and smoked meats. In the mouth the flavors are bursting with ripe fruit, crushed blackberry, deep meaty tones, and a touch of sweet toasty French oak. Flavors persist several minutes. This is a big, intense, mouth coating wine. I love the layered flavors, mid palate texture and silky yet big balance of this blend. It's unusual but delicious! While tasty now, this is a wine that is also cellar-worthy, easily 10-15 years.

Occam's Razor
"Well firstly I wouldn't presume to say I was one of those clever people who are 'honestly and diligently working to expand humanity's understanding of the Universe."
Silly of Silinus for making such an assumption that you were one of the honest and dilegent people for whom you were speaking of. Occam you have brought nothing to this discussion. Thank you Silinus for your response now all I have to do is ignore him as well.
Noggin, what translation did you use? Your verses seem not to match my translations from the NIV. However, If you would like an explanation on these verses I suggest reading "The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses", by Poythress I would also like you to give me where your objective standard of morality is while criticizing my morals?
Waltercat, can you tell me why my response is incoherent? I'm sorry if I missed it but I didn't see an explanation.
Finally, I will be the first to admit that my absolute morality in Christ is a presupposition. This presupposition is not backed up by science or logic but a basis where I start my science and logic and if want to hold to an objective claim of morality your presuppositions cannot be found in Atheism or any view that starts with science and logic. (I'm thinking through this thought as I talk. So feel free to respond.)

In addition, she works to improve visual outcomes in patients with ocular melanoma—investigating strategies to reduce radiation complications—and hopes to help improve survival in these patients by studying frequently occurring mutations in this tumor type.
Her teaching activities involve the medical and surgical training of retina fellows as well as ophthalmology residents. She also mentors medical students and research fellows in the laboratory setting. She is frequently invited to participate in regional and national continuing education courses, such as the annual Macula course, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology Retina Subspecialty Day.

Grab a spoon—it's National Ice Cream Month! It's really no surprise that many of us love to spoil our pets with bits of our tasty summer treats, but pet parents please beware: Ice cream is just one of many summer goodies that could double as serious health hazards to our pets!
Ice cream
Just say no to the cone. One lick or two (no chocolate, please!) is fine, but because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase—the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk—milk and other milk-based products can cause them diarrhea or other digestive upset.
Chicken Bones
Feeding your pet raw bones may seem like a natural option, but chicken bones splinter easily and can cause choking or may become lodged in your pet's digestive tract.
Potato Chips
Who doesn't like to crunch? While one or two plain chips may not pose a threat, large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination or even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Signs that your pet may have eaten too many chips include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death. In other words, keep those salty snacks to yourself!
A little sweet, a little tart—and a lot hazardous! Citrus plants contain citric acid, limonin and oils that can cause irritation, and possibly even central nervous system depression, if ingested in significant amounts. Clinical signs of central nervous system depression include vomiting, diarrhea, depression and potential photosensitivity.
Piña Colada
We know they're tasty, but any beveragecontaining alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, decreased coordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma and even death in our animals. So please, keep you summer cocktails out of your pet's reach.
Interested in more food hazards? Please visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
my dog i had for 18 years loved ice cream, she would get a 3 oz vanilla cup on occasion - never had a problem. I, on the other hand, am lactose intolerant and could NOT stomach that much! She had frosty paws once and that made her sick...?!?!
The best treat to give your pet is to make your dog a carob cookie treat. Carob is the substitute for chocolate in dog treats. Ever wonder why chocolate dog treats are safe??? Its not chocolate, its CAROB. Carob is used when making dog cakes, treats and anything tasty for Fido. It is completely safe and yummy too....Humans can even eat it as well.
My dog of 9 years old, when she see that her brother has an otter pop, se thinks that she should have one too, and by all means she gets one, we feed it to her right out of the wrapper..... she really only likes these through out the summer time, especially when its extremely hot out side..... its just flavored water, with some sugar in it..... but its good and she loves them

Is unsalted and unbuttered popcorn ok within limits?
My dog loves to eat Sprinkles Cupcakes but the ones that are specially made for dogs! haha every time i come home with that brown bag he knows its a cupcake for him!
hey everyone!.. love you guys @ ASPCA. The world ..no no the PLANET give you a BIG HUG ! As for treats for our BFFS..Im here in NJ so I cant speak for everyone when I say theres simply not any Cat treats available in Pet Stores like there are for dogs.
My dog actually did die from potato chips. It's so hard to believe but something happened while she was scarfing down a bag she found in the kids' room. Your warning should be taken seriously for sure.
I adopted a dog at the age of 1.5 yrs old who'd kill for an ice-cream cone and LOVES buttermilk (from day 1 or adoption!!). K9 as well as Feline digeistive system CAN handle dairy and dairy enzymes IF it is introduced to them from the very young age. ANYBODY would have diarrhea after ice-cream if they have never had one on their life. For that same reason many Chinese who suddently relocate to US cannot handle dairy (milk, sour cream) as it wass not part of their culture growing up. I was born and raised in Russia, where milk is given to kittens from get go and NONE of them have problems with dairy. So it all depends on when it is introduced to the digestive system.
So what if they die you can always get another theres plenty of them walking around

You can feel it happening in the marketplace around us. Retail clinics, medical tourism, technology-enabled self care — disruptive innovations in the U.S. health care system challenge the status quo. These and other new phenomena zero in on unmet needs, leverage new technologies and business models, and deliver enhanced value throughout the health care supply chain. When they work, they change the game. Along with consumerism and health reform, disruptive innovation is one of the three major themes we follow at the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.

When warm weather returns, consider using canopies for shade
UPDATED 11:09 AM EST Feb 21, 2013
By Linda Merrill, Networx
If you're like me, when the summer sun hits its zenith, I go searching for the nearest shade.
Between super fair skin and an intense dislike of nature's littlest pests, I'm a big, big fan of tents, pavilions and other backyard, poolside or oceanfront structures.
Tents, canopies and gazebos are just some of the structures you can use to create shade in your yard.

In addition, Dr. Sindelar is a Research Associate at the National Bureau Economic Research, Research Fellow at IZA (Institute for the Study of Labor), Associated Faculty at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) at Yale, Bing Visiting faculty at Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, CA and Washington, DC, and has been the President-elect, President, Past President & founding member of the American Society of Health Economists (ASHEcon). Dr. Sindelar is an expert on the economics of substance abuse, including alcoholism, illicit drugs and smoking, as well as obesity. Her studies include lost productivity, cost-effectiveness of treatments, social costs, and policy. She has published over 100 papers and studies on the impacts of substance abuse on productivity, educational attainment, gender differences, and related policy issues in economics, policy, addiction, health and medical journals. She has served on numerous editorial, review, advisory and other boards and committees, and has presented her research at seminars and conferences both nationally and internationally. Currently, Dr. Sindelar heads multi-year projects funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services via the Connecticut Department of Social Services, National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and also collaborates on projects funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) and the Rand Corporation via the Harvard School of Public Health.

International Activity
- Smoking - Effects on Productivity in China
Professors Sindelar and Wang study the impacts of smoking and quitting dynamics on productivity, which is measured by days absent from work. Their work consists of two stages: first, investigating whether smokers have more days absent than those who do not smoke; second, examining the impact of quitting smoking on days absent. Those who quit smoking can be categorized into three groups, those who quit but relapse, those who quit for a short-term, and those who quit for the long-term. In addition to the analysis on the effects of smoking and quitting on productivity, they also plan to explore the factors that influence peoples' smoking and quitting behavior, including the reasons that people start to smoke, the reasons that people have failed to quit smoking, and the reasons for continued abstinence.

Many years ago before web pages had adverts on them it was possible to increase the size of viewed print ( you still can ) AND you could also print out the page with the print enlarged. This is no longer possible , i think it could be due to web adverts locking the margins. The only work around i can use is to enlarge the viewed print then use the windows snipping tool to capture it so that i can print it like a photo.
The down side to this is that you can only do a part of a web page because if you do a full page , wimdows shrinks it down again to fit a4 paper.
Does anybody know of a way to view enlarged print AND print it off the same size

You could copy and paste into word and then edit as you wish. Unfortunately this is not always as easy as it sounds unless you only want text. Any graphics will usually need to be saved and then inserted into the word document separately. The fun really starts if there are tables or frames in the pasted document.

I missed out a stage. After using system dialogue you open printer preferences and then select the printer scaling.

I still don't have that option. It must be something specific to your printer driver as I have looked for it on 3 of the printers on my set up.

Gaston County residents have a big stake in what happens with a proposed consent order that would resolve the state's lawsuit against Duke Energy regarding leaking coal ash ponds, says newly named Catawba Riverkeeper Sam Perkins.
The N.C. Division of Water Quality of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources filed a lawsuit against Duke Energy in May alleging the energy company's coal ash ponds at the Riverbend Steam Station north of Mount Holly and the Asheville Steam Electric Generating Plant in Buncombe County posed a threat to drinking water.
Unlined coal ash ponds were leaking into nearby water sources at levels higher than what's allowed under safe water standards.
Perkins maintains that the proposal doesn't go far enough, and he wants Gaston County residents to share their opinions. The state will be accepting public comments until Aug. 14.
"Gaston County deserves better than to be Duke Energy's waste dumping bin," Perkins said. "Gaston County folks I really hope submit by far the most comments because this is most directly in their backyard."
The Riverbend Steam Station rests on 353 acres bordering the Catawba River and discharges wastewater to Mountain Island Lake, the primary source of drinking water for many Gaston County residents. Duke Energy retired the 84-year-old plant April 1.
Gastonia and Mount Holly draw water from Mountain Island Lake. Cramerton, Spencer Mountain, Ranlo and McAdenville purchase drinking water from Gastonia. Stanley buys its water from Mount Holly. Belmont draws its water farther downstream in Lake Wylie.
Gaston County has a stake in this decision not only because of the drinking water aspect but also because Gaston County has an $86 million property tax base along Mountain Island Lake, Perkins said.
Report and monitor
The consent order lays out a timeline of requirements to address violations and find out the cause and extent of any violations of groundwater standards, including hazards to public health.
"We all share the same objectives in protecting water quality, which is reflected in this agreement. Key provisions in the agreement call for more rigorous information gathering, monitoring and reporting of discharges to groundwater and surface waters. This information will help regulators make informed, site-specific decisions to address discharges if they find that's warranted," said Duke Energy spokeswoman Erin Culbert via email. "We continue to believe Duke Energy has complied with its existing water discharge permits, and if regulators wish to amend those permits, that is a transparent and public process."
Culbert said that Duke Energy's monitoring didn't find evidence that discharges from either Riverbend or the Asheville plants harm water quality or aquatic life.
"Water quality remains good, fish are healthy and we have no indication to suggest any concern for neighboring drinking water supplies," Culbert said.
Duke Energy will have retired seven of the 14 coal plants it has in the state as part of modernization and building cleaner plants by the end of 2013. Duke Energy will close the coal ash basins at the shut down plants according to state and federal regulations, Culbert said.
Cleanup, not study, needed
The proposed agreement doesn't go far enough to protect the Catawba River, Perkins said.
"It requests a lot of information from Duke that should have come on the front end of settlement discussion, not be requested as the final product," Perkins said. "The point is, after this settlement, nothing changes. DENR gets some information. We need a settlement that stops the pollution, not one that asks Duke Energy to study it."
The solution should be cleaning up the site, not studying it, he said.
"There's a ton of seepage because not only are these extremely old ponds, they are unlined. The solution to all this is simple. You remove the (coal) ash, and you put it in a lined landfill," Perkins said. "That solves everything. It really does."
The Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation has filed to intervene and have a little more say in the lawsuit. The foundation and the Southern Environmental Law Center still have their federal lawsuit that was filed under the Clean Water Act. That will be another opportunity to seek cleanup if the final agreement between Duke Energy and the state doesn't resolve the issue, Perkins said.

Want to share your opinion about the proposed agreement?
Written comments on the proposed consent order should be submitted by Aug. 14. Comments by mail should be addressed to the N.C. DENR Division of Water Quality, to the attention of Lisa Palmer, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 or by email to email@example.com.
What is coal ash?
Coal ash is produced when coal is burned at power plants. Coal ash contains contaminants like mercury, cadmium and arsenic in addition to minerals like silicon, aluminum, iron and calcium. According to the EPA, those contaminants can leach into groundwater and drinking water sources and pose significant health concerns if proper protections are not taken.

11-6... Central Division is a close one!
Oh wow. 14-2? Wasn't expecting that......still worried about Zo's minutes. Officially looking for an upgrade at the backup center position.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
3-3 this week.. thinking I shouldn't have changed my team's pace. Thinking of making changes. Going to update my trading block.
My trading block is updated. All my centers are available. Looking for Upgrade at SG.
tough week, kobe got injured

Well damn, Jason Terry was injured so... *Cough and wipes brow*

Anybody looking for an upgrade at SG, I have Steve Smith pm me.
9-0 on the week and most wins in the league. Probably was that one pick I contributed to my team's draft honestly.
Dang, Sam Cassell went in on me on day 25. 34/10/14 t-dub.
You don't follow my Twitter, I lead yours.
Got back above .500 after a disappointing 2 weeks. My team isn't playing as good defensively as I hoped. Out of my starters everyone is an A except my PG who is a B+, but still allowing the 16th most points per game. Webber has been close to 50 points or 20 rebounds like 3 games now but never quite gets there, he did have player of the week this time though. Looking to move Delk for an upgrade at a backup SF if anyone is interested, also have a couple backup C's / PF's that are solid that could be involved.
Bulls looking to upgrade the SF position. PM me
Only went 5-4 in this stretch. Struggling on the road at 3-5 while playing 11-1 at home. Defense is struggling and Sheed and Cassell are having to carry the load. Not sure why my backup PF is averaging just 10 minutes per game. Not sure where to go from here.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
If i could a few healthy sims with my top 3 players not getting hurt ill be able to judge how good my team is, no such luck with that so far. All that said Central Division looks like its gonna be a grind all season

WOW, Zo is a beast. Really wish I'd chosen to GM that team. Not really much else on that team yet they've got the best record, but Zo is the best player in the sim right now.
The Suns are the best team right now. They have Zo and Penny as the stars, but alot of depth. Their defense is unreal and they're good offensively. Man that team is tough.
Completely disagree, go look at the ratings, they don't have a single defender rated above a B other than Zo. You take away Zo and that team is by far the worst in the league and it's not even close.
I don't understand how that team can be so good while the Shaq team is awful.
Look at the Shaquille team. Those guys around him are not good. I can barely recognize some of those names.
My team has only two guys with a B rating in the rotation, everyone else is B+ or better. His D is only good because of Zo.
Teams against the Suns have been only shooting 29% from 3 and they're one of the best at not giving up FTs. Because of this, teams have been really inefficient.
They've definitely been the best team so far, but we're hardly starting, so let's see how the season keeps going.
Talk to me when the Suns are allowing the fewest PPG

Are you guys already forgetting that he was like a god to us?
What was Monty's comment regarding him? He is what we are and everything we strive to be" or something ridicolus like that...
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
He didn't have to say it.
I remember that guy, he was the bus driver that led us to Anthony Davis!
It's that the Hornets unashamedly quit so quickly in Game 4 after fans in New Orleans showed up this season with greater regularity than the team could have ever dreamed, shaming misinformed know-it-alls like me who kept telling you that local residents couldn't possibly invest their time and money into something as trivial as rooting for the local basketball team while still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. - Mark Stien ESPN

Argh. Just finished watching Bulls-Celtics, and one of the commentators said Belinelli is finally getting a chance to play big games for a good team and then he mentioned how much he has learned the importance of defense.
That was a lucky shot. If it was a straight up shot he likely would've missed it.
Eh, Marco's having a bad season. It was a good move on our part to let him walk.
that was a fluke shot, and did you see the possession he did before that.. the dribble up hold the ball for 10 seconds and shoot a three off the side of the backboard.. nearly lost them the game the absolute idiot.
Roger Mason is doing more than enough to replace him.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I didn't even think about Mason but as far as shooting the ball, I'd surely take Anderson over Belinelli. And Anderson is a better rebounder too.

Not to mention that Roger has leadership....something that Marco lacked!
Marco's doing the same thing in Chicago that he did here- getting hot for several games and playing well then getting cold for a stretch. Only difference is that they have a competent SG (Hamilton/Hinrich/Butler) to play smart when Marco is in a funk, unlike us who were starting him.
Overall I definitely would prefer Marco over Mason as our backup SG, but aside from age there's not a ton of difference.

Man arrested following Friday shooting near Lake Roesiger
The victim, a 48-year-old man, was shot in the leg and was expected to survive, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting was reported at about 5:30 p.m. Friday in the 300 block of S. Carpenter Road. Investigators believe it may have been a botched robbery, sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. Deputies detained and released at least four other people in the search for suspects, she said.
Several hundred marijuana plants were discovered during the investigation, Ireton said.

text: Working with Vo2 on the Exam Exam candidates frequently question if they will have to work with Vo2 on their certification exam. Are they going to have to measure Vo2max? How are they expected to do that really big equation? Especially without calculators? The short answer is that it's not that scary. Measuring Vo2max, directly, is something that is usually done in a lab. So, no, you won't be asked to directly measure Vo2max during your exam. But you might be asked to calculate Vo2max or one of it's components. Memorizing and understanding the Vo2max equation is the first step. For those with the ACE 3rd edition Personal Trainer manual, check page 9. For those using the ACE Group Fitness Instructor manual, some of the components of Vo2max are discussed on pages 16 and 17. Vo2max is defined as the total capacity to consume oxygen at the cellular level .The Vo2max formula is below: Vo2max = Cardiac Output x Oxygen Extraction Max Or Vo2max = Q x A-Vo2 difference A great example of working with the Vo2max formula is problem 9, on page 6 of the ACE 3rd edition Personal Trainer Master the Manual workbook. The problem is written below: (hints and guiding information is italicized and underlined) Calculate oxygen extraction max given the following information: Age: 50 Weight 75kg Max HR: 180 bpm Max SV: 125mL/beat Cardiac Output Max: 22,500 mL/min VO2 Max: 48mLO2/kg/min (The mlO2 is usually written with the Oxygen part (O) missing. Don't forget it is there.) The first step is to remember the equation: VO2Max = Q x AV02 diff or VO2Max = (HRxSV) x (Oxygen Extraction) And input what we know from the question: 48mLO2/kg/min = 22,500 mL/min x (X) 75 kg x 48mLO2/kg/min = 22,500mL/min x (X) We need to get VO2 in an absolute format, we need to take the weight out of the equation) VO2Max = Q x AVO2 diff (just a reminder of what the formula is that we are still working with) 3600 mLO2/min = 22,500mL/min x(X) We need to divide both sides by 22,500mL/min to get X alone .16mLO2/mL blood = X However, we need to see our AVO2/Oxygen Extraction measured in mLO2/100mL of blood. .16mLO2/mL blood x 100 = 16mL02/100mL blood 16mL02/100mL blood is the correct answer to this problem. Hopefully this helps explain it for you. I think part of the challenge is that with VO2Max, the equation is written ml/kg/min and we forget that ml is mL of oxygen since the O2 usually isn't included. This is a reminder to know the specifics of what you are working with, especially labeling and terminology. If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know. You can call and speak with one of our Education Consultants at 1-888-825-3636 x782

Comments about Wexler II:
My husband is very particular when it comes to shoes. He likes comfortable shoes and generally opts for a wider fit. I have tried for years to find a brand that fits his needs while being stylish, but had no luck. He would always complain about his shoes. As soon as he tried the Wexler II on he told me those were the most comfortable shoes he had ever had. I finally found a brand that makes us both happy :)

Comments about Wexler II:
I unintentionally fell onto Tsubo's Wexler II style shoe. I was completely unaware of Tsubo and it's line of shoes, but Tsubo is now the only shoe that I'll be buying. In my career I need to have a professional appearance so shoes have always been a big factor in my wardrobe. I have always bought high end shoes and thought they were comfortable, but after buying the Wexler II style, I have been brought to a new level of comfort. Another great factor is that you can dress up or dress down the Wexler II. They look great with my professional attire, but then you can do a quick change into more casual pants or even jeans and they look great. If you want to have extreme comfort and get copious compliments, buy these shoes. I bought my first pair in a department store, but my second pair (within two weeks) were bought on the Tsubo website. I was surprised at the selection of shoes. I really liked the site. It's attractive, easily navigated and checking out was fast and uncomplicated. I was leery about buying shoes that I couldn't try on, but I simply bought the same size and they fit exactly as my first pair. I am completely satisfied with my on line purchase experience and of course the shoes are fantastic.
- Tight fit on top of foot
- Excellent details
- Heavy duty materials
- Stylish
- timeless
- Top-notch craftsmanship
Best Uses
Comments about Wexler II:
This is my 2nd pair of Tsubos, but my first pair of Wexlers and I have to say, they are outstanding! They look incredible on and they are comfortable for long-term use, however, only after pulling out the insoles. With the Tsubo insoles left inside, the top of my feet felt cramped and uncomfortable in the area right under the laces of the shoe (even without the laces tied); almost as if the shoe were a 1/2 size too small in that area only, when the rest of the shoe (width & length) felt quite comfortable.
I generally wear a size 9 shoe, but Tsubo only had an 8.5, so I decided to take a chance and order them with the thinking of if they didn't work out, they have free shipping and free returns. Well, like I said above, I'm glad I did order the 8.5s because even these (despite the issue I explained above) still feel about a half size too big in the toe section. However, I would advise against buying a whole size down only because of the tight fit in the laces area.
Those gripes about the fit aside, these shoes exude style & cool, while also falling carefully on the fine line of fashion-forward timelessness; the materials are heavy duty, craftsmanship top notch, unique eye-catching details, and versitale enough to be worn casually or in the office.
Upon opening the box for the very first time, I felt as if I had purchased something truly special, and that every dollar was well spent. On top of all that, the wealth of compliments of which I have received in just the few days since I've owned these shoes, have been indicative of an excellent purchase. You cannot go wrong with Tsubo!
In closing, the only reason this is not a 5-star review comess down to the fit, which can be remedied, like I stated, by removing the insole or by purchasing a thinner insole.

When my husband put these shoes on he said simply, "Aahhh..." That's when we knew that we'd finally found the shoes he could work in, on his feet, all the live long day! He has had knee surgeries and was a pro soccer player, so his knees have been through a lot. He has had to put on the "sports guy" persona to wear sneakers to work in, on his feet, all day long for years. However, now he can be comfortable and wear professional attire all at the same time! Bravo, Tsubo! Thank you!
PS The brown worked out so well, he now has them in black too!
