I've added scans of 2 new Lady Dior Print Ads – courtesy of "vogue28″ and "Flashbang" – one of them is brand new! Also in the gallery a few official behind the scenes pictures (source 1 • 2). I think these are lovely pictures while we await the second batch of Lady Dior Ads.
Speaking of which… Celebrity Hair stylist Ted Gibson blogged about a photo shoot he worked on with Marion Cotillard. Might this be for the new Lady Dior Ads? Who knows…
I was in Morocco for 3 days working with Marion on a fashion shoot that was beyond my imagination. I have never experienced any place like Ouarzazat before It was desert, palm trees, lush vegetation and beautiful weather!!!!!
Marion came to the shoot in a beautiful long sweater, jeans and hair in a bun. Such a movie star!!
We created a very soft, sexy flowing hairstyle with tons of bounce. I used Hairsheet Styling and Build It Blow-Drying Spray to give volume and control because we were shooting outside. I'll follow up with a picture when the story is published.

The Pedersoli Black Powder N° 1 magazine aims to increase contact with our customers, collectors of black powder guns, with friends of Pedersoli and visitors to our website worldwide.
The magazine, published quarterly on the web, includes articles about shooting, hunting, historical re-enactments and items of interest for collectors of guns, ballistic information, reloading tips, history, the use of accessories and presentations of short movies.
We invited the most experienced shooters and prominent journalists from around the world to contribute to the drafting of the magazine, in which pages you can read their articles about muzzle loading firearms and metallic cartridge rifles, the shooting tests, and the curiosity about reloading.
Pedersoli's Black Powder N° 1 will surely find the interest of shooters, all fans and collectors of black powder guns.
Did you ever wonder what makes a percussion revolver shoot straight? What is the difference between a cheap and a more expensive repro? Well, here are the answer you are looking for. ..
Do you remember the first love, first kiss? Well I am sure Balázs Németh will remember his first red deer taken in Hungary with one of our flintlock Jäger rifles. Here is the story. ..
Hunting with a flintlock rifle in wet weather is not an easy job. Some consider it impossible but in fact this is not true. The old hunters knew how to waterproof their rifles. ..
Shooting the muzzleloading military rifle muskets is a real delight today. It is one of the most demanding and most popular disciplines. However it is not well known what challenges the armies faced when they changed from smooth bore to rifled arms. ..
Hungary walked a long road in legalizing the hunting with muzzleloaders. Now the success is here: after 100 years it is legal again to walk out to the wilderness with our good old muzzleloaders on our shoulder. ..
Here is our quick and easy guide to help you clean your muzzleloader the proper way. ..
It is never easy to buy a used gun as you can never exactly know how much care was taken for the beauty you chose to buy. Here are some hints what to check before buying. ..
The Remington Contract "Zouave" or U.S. 1863 rifle is one of the best handling, and most elegant rifles of the Civil War era. ..
A short report with an excellent shooter who won the long range World Championships with a Pedersoli Gibbs rifle ..
I really love the military history of the 19th century. This is the most advanced age of the muzzleloaders, with great ideas, and some crazy designs. Here is the short story of the last of the military stlye muzzleloadinmg bullets. ..
We made some terminal ballistic tests with the help of gelatine blocks to compare the killing power of muzzleloaders with hunting loads. ..
A brief introduction to 17th century powder making and military testing ..
Searching for a high energy hunting load is not always an easy task. Pintpoint accuracy and devastiting power are both needed. ..
It all began here... The handgonne was the very first blackpowder operated hand held firearm. The soldier was able to march into battle, load and fire the gun alone. ..

This one-of-a-kind garment was woven over four years with silk collected from Golden Orb Weaver spiders, found in the mountains of Madagascar. Handlers extracted silk from the spiders using a hand-powered machine before releasing them back into the wild. No dye or coloring was added to the silk before it was woven.

On Wednesday July 24, 2013 the police cruiser rolled up in front of the Louisville plant to pick up three employees. The Officer arrested Aaroyn Bagshaw, Thad Judy and Kathy Van Sant (pictured above) and took them away. One might think this is an awful thing however the jail time was spent fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association to send kids to camp. Once our mug shots were taken we were able to network with other big hearted community leaders to help out this wonderful cause. In total we raised $910.00, $500.00 of which was given by R C Bigelow and the rest from donations that the three convicts were able to collect. What a great opportunity to help the children!!!!

Is this hum a shielding or a grounding issue? OK guys...really appreciate any thoughts.... I have an Ep Viola bass (which sounds great BTW) apart from the hum:crying: I have hum when facing the amp or with my back to it. Hum disappears if i have my bass end on to my amp (either end doesn't matter). Also dissapears if bass is side on to the amp. Wouldn't be so much of an issue if i could have a decent distance from my amp but most gigs i do this isn't practical. Now for some details: The PU's are mini humbuckers with a VVT arrangement. There's a working ground attached to all pots, the metal PU covers (enclosing the PU's), the bridge and strings. Hum is not effected by whether i touch any part of the bass or not. There is no shielding inside the bass (would be kind of hard to get it in the hollow body but not impossible...just v fiddly). Hum does not increase/decrease if i have both PU's on max or just 1 PU on. Amp doesn't show any hum with any other bass i have (including a 50's single coil P bass) Is the hum a shielding issue? Or could it be something else eg. rubbish PU's or electronics? |
Since your pickups are supposed to be humbuckers this can only mean your pickups are either wired wrong (you'll have to reverse one of the coils) or they are crap and the two coils are not cancelling hum. You should solo each pickup to see if both have the same problem. Sometimes one coil of a humbucker can short out (or short to the grounded metal can) leading to a miswiring. If each pickup has only two wires then there is little you can do save new pickups, if there are 3 or four wires a wiring check is in order. Also as last resort taking pickups apart to look for shorts and testing both coils (neither should show low ohms) may be an option. Hope this helps. |
I tested the ohms of each PU with an Ohmeter just testing the ends of the cable where they are soldered on (i think that will give me the reading across the PU?) and got about 3.5 ohm. If thats right isn't that a bit low for a humbucker? I'm not an expert on this but aren't they usually at least double this? Could it be that they aren't reverse wired and if i reverse the polarity of one of the PU's they'd hum less? |

Friday was one of our typical nights at Murphy's. A few Irish car bombs, lots of singing, and some catching up with friends. It had been a crazy week at work and a night at Murphy's was just what I needed to end the week!
On Saturday we went to the DC 101 Chili Cook Off. It was a wonderful day! I'd never been to a chili cook off before so it was a lot of fun to walk around and sample all the different dishes...sadly, the "Chuck Norris Chili: Made of Bits of Real Terrorists" (pictured above) was all gone by the time we came around.

On Sunday morning, we had a surprise birthday brunch for one of our neighbors. It was a lot of fun to enjoy some girl talk and some delicious food! After brunch I FINALLY had the chance to see The Avengers. I really enjoyed it! There was plenty of action and there were also a lot of funny parts. The little teaser for The Avengers 2 at the end already has me excited for the next one. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend seeing it in 3D. Just make sure you sit back far enough. We were a little closer than ideal and some of the fight scenes got a little hard to see in 3D.

Sevendust, Lacuna Coil, and Avatar Melt Nashville
"So, I heard that Nashville is supposed to be some sort of country music capital of the world," says Avatar vocalist Johannes Eckerström in the middle of the band's set. Looking around the scene at Marathon Music Works on February 10th, you wouldn't have guessed it. The night before, Hatebreed brought Shadows Fall, Dying Fetus, and The Contortionist with them to play the same venue, but the metal mob was out again in full force to greet the Swedes for their first stop in town on their first tour of the US.
Although Marathon Music Works is not some gigantic stadium, it is anything but a small venue. Stretching about three blocks around the side of the building, waiting in the line of fans to get into the venue was no small test of endurance. Thankfully, two bars and a sound system that blares Megadeth, Van Halen, and Killswitch Engage await indoors to kickstart the weary. Nashville was about to get a multi-national blast of warm loudness to counter the falling temperature. More...
Avatar Posts "Smells Like A Freakshow" Video
Swedish visual masterminds Avatar have unveiled their latest video for "Smells Like A Freakshow" today through Loudwire.com. Check out the video right here or in the player below. Frontman Johannes Eckerström adds his own words about the new video:
"The video illustrates inner conflict in an explicit manner, using abuse of unjust power in different contexts. The lyrical themes of downfall, embracing of decadence and failed attempts to escape are pointed out by the fact that ultimately the bad guys win."
The band kicks off a U.S. tour supporting Lacuna Coil and Sevendust with an intimate performance at The Studio at Webster Hall in New York City on Wednesday, January 30th. More...
Avatar To Support Sevendust And Lacuna Coil
Avatar, the band that brought you the side show video for "Black Waltz" and the visually dazzling video for "Torn Apart" will support Sevendust and Lacuna Coil this winter. This is the very first time the band will play the U.S. and dates will stretch up and down the east coast.
Drummer John Alfredsson adds his own words: "It feels truly amazing to get the opportunity to make our first strike in the US with Sevendust and Lacuna Coil. 2013 will be the year of Avatar in the states and we are excited to bring the madness to you!" More...
Avatar Posts "Torn Apart" Video
Avatar, the band that brought you the gut wrenching side show video for "Black Waltz" has premiered another clip for the new single "Torn Apart" today via Fearnet.com. Check out the video here or in the player below.
Lead singer Johannes Eckerström commented: "If all violence was as in professional wrestling, I would get involved in way more fights. Hulk Hogan was one of my first heroes and made me want to spend my life doing insane things and be applauded for it. Backyard wrestling is not exactly a household expression here in Sweden, but on my street we went insane. I could pull off an awesome suplex by the age of nine.
"Standing on that tiny stage while our audience threw each other through tables was a rush and pretty much the best form of mosh pit I've ever experienced. They made it look awesome and the context we put it in made it truly epic. We're not really supposed to afford making a music video this cool, but once again we've proven what's possible when you realize your potential and make the most you possibly can of it. When life gives you lemonade, punch life in the face." More...

Olympus mju Tough-6000 review
The 10-megapixel mju Tough-6000 is a perfectly normal-looking, pocket-sized compact that just happens to be able to survive extraordinary amounts of abuse. Happily, its rugged nature doesn't detract from its photo quality or practicality either, making the 6000 extremely difficult to dislike Read more

When Rachel Smith noticed the serious lack of cool clothes for her boys, she was inspired to start this line of trendy ties. Each one combines modern prints with serious function for all the little dudes out there who require durability. We love that these ties are adjustable so your growing guy can use them for years. Plus, they're hand-cut and hand-sewn.

"PREVIOUSLY ON IMPACT WRESTLING...": AJ Styles returns and both TNA and The Aces & Eights want him on their side, The Tag Team Title match becomes 2/3 Falls with the future of the Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Hernandez's team in the balance, Taryn Terrell goes from referee to Knockout, Bully Ray uses the Hogans to become TNA World Champion but Jeff Hardy earns a rematch and challenges Ray to Full Metal Mayhem.
Hulk Hogan catches up with Jeff Hardy backstage. Hardy says he's ready and Hogan says he's going to take the belt back tonight.
A new IMPACT Wrestling intro video plays.
We go live to the American Bank Arena in Corpus Christi, TX as Todd Keneley welcomes the home audience. Mike Tenay hypes the main event while Keneley hypes Terrell/Kim and Taz hypes AJ Styles' "decision".
Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Hernandez make their way out for the opening contest, boxing great Jesse James Leija waving a flag behind them. Guerrero and Hernandez bring Leija to his seat and out come Austin Aries and Bobby Roode to attack them from behind. Roode throws Hernandez into the ring steps while Aries throws Guerrero into the ring to start the match.
Match #1: Austin Aries & Bobby Roode (c) Vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Hernandez in a 2/3 Falls Match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles
Aries and Roode double-team Guerrero right at the outset, and Roode hits a spinebuster following a corner dropkick by Aries for the 1...2...3. Aries and Roode Take Fall #1.
The bell rings to start the second fall and Aries heads to the top rope. Aries mocks Guerrero but misses the Frog Splash and Guerrero rolls him up for the 1...2...3!. Guerrero & Hernandez Take Fall #2.
The bell rings for the third fall and Roode stomps Guerrero in the corner before bringing him to the heel corner. Roode chokes Guerrero with his boot then distracts the ref to allow Aries to choke him some more on the bottom rope. Roode hits a move and covers for a 2-count. Aries tags in and hits a slingshot senton from the apron. Aries drops the fist and covers for the 1...2...kickout. Aries sends Guerrero face-first into the corner and tags out to Roode. Guerrerp gets an elbow up during a corner splash attempt and follows up with a dropkick after Roode blocks the Tornado DDT. Guerrero looks for a tag as Hernandez makes his way back to the apron for the first time in the match.
Hernandez gets the hot tag and hits the slingshot shoulderblock on Roode. Hernandez takes it to the TNA Tag Team Champions, bodyblocking Roode and tossing Aries into the air and onto the mat face-first. Hernandez heads to the apron, revs up, and hits Air Mexico on Aries and Roode as the crowd cheers. Hernandez is in control as we go to commercial.
-Commercial Break-
Aries clobbers Hernandez on the floor with a top-rope forearm as we come back from break. Roode makes his way out and rolls Hernandez back into the ring. Roode runs in and covers for a 2-count. Snapmare from Roode puts Hernandez in a seated position and Roode follows up with a necksnap. Aries tags in and hits the second-rope elbow to the back of Hernandez for the 1...2...kickout. Aries grabs Hernandez's leg and tags Roode in. Hernandez starts battling back but Roode stops the momentum with a forearm. Roode knocks Guerrero off the apron then puts the thumbs to Hernandez's eyes.
The champs phantom tag, making Aries the legal man. They go for a double clothesline but Hernandez breaks the line and knocks them down with a clothesline of his own. Guerrero, who is back on the apron, gets the hot tag. He sends Aries to the outside and takes Roode down with a headscissors takedown. The tag champs try to regroup on the outside but Guerrero hits them both a slingshot crossbody. Guerrero rolls Roode in and covers for the 1...2...Aries breaks the count. Aries goes for a suplex but Guerrero blocks it and hits 2 of the 3 Amigos before Roode breaks it up. Roode goes for a suplex and Guerrero escapes, hitting all 3 Amigos this time around. Guerrero goes for the Frog Splash but Aries pushes him off. Roode rolls Guerrero up and grabs the tights for the 1...2...kickout.
Roode applies the Crossface but Hernandez breaks it up. The tag team champs send Hernandez to the ramp and sidestep an attempted Air Mexico, sending Hernandez into Guerrero. They cover Guerrero for the 1...2...KICKOUT. Aries hits the corner dropkick and Roode goes for the follow-up spinebuster but Guerrero counters into a DDT for the 1...2...Aries breaks the count. Aries sits Guerrero on the top turnbuckle and goes for a superplex but Hernandez grabs him off in a Border Toss position. Roode stops it and they go for a double suplex but Hernandez hits a double suplex of his own. Guerrero regroups and hits the Frog Splash for the 1...2...3! New champs.
Winners and NEW Tag Team Champions [via Pinfall]: Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Hernandez (15:08)
Brooke Hogan is stopped backstage by Joey Ryan. Ryan says he's here in his referee clothes and he's available to ref the Knockouts match. Brooke says she's already hired someone for that and says Ryan embarrassed her last week with his actions. Brooke says Ryan has a match tonight and tonight we will see who the "bigger" man is.
-Commercial Break-
We see a video of The Aces & Eights meeting up outside of the arena, the motorcycles revving.
A suited up Joseph Park makes his way out to the ring to say something. The music dies down and Park says he's here to discuss a couple of issues. Park gets right to the point and brings up The Aces & Eights, Bully Ray in particular. Park says he's sick of their antics and it stops right now. Park says the word that comes to mind when it comes to them is "justice" and tonight justice will be served when Jeff Hardy brings the World Title back to TNA. Park pulls out a document and says it's an annulment to end the marriage between Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan.

PS3 Slim - PlayStation 3 CECH-2000 Screens & Specs Available!

239w ago
- Today Sony Computer Entertainment has
at their press conference the new PlayStation 3 Slim system... complete with
PS3 Slim screens
now available.
From the Press Release: Enjoy a new slimmer and lighter PlayStation 3, due to hit stores in September 2009 with a lower price and extensive software line-up in time for the holiday season.
At gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. unveiled the new PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, featuring a streamlined form factor with a 120GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The new PS3 will be available in stores from September 1, 2009, in the UK at a very attractive recommended retail price (RRP) of £249.99.
With the introduction of the new PS3 system, SCEI will also reduce the price of the current PS3 with 80GB HDD to a RRP of £249.99 from August 19. By launching a vast library of exciting and attractive software titles for PS3 this holiday season and offering customers a line-up of hardware models and pricing to match their preference, SCEI will build on the momentum and further accelerate the expansion of the PS3 platform.
The internal design architecture of the new PS3 system, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit, to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise.
While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the new PS3 system features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all new impression and a casual look. With the compact body and casual appearance, the newly introduced model will appeal to a wider audience who are looking to buy the best entertainment system for their home.
Concurrently with the release of the new PS3 system, SCEI will modify the PS3 brand name from PLAYSTATION 3 to PlayStation 3, and introduce a new logo, which is engraved on the surface of the new PS3 system. By unifying under the familiar PlayStation name, which represents the entire PlayStation family, PS3 together with PlayStation 2 and PSP will further expand the PlayStation business, and will continue to enhance the entertainment experience along with the ever-growing PlayStation Network.
The new PS3 continues to offer the cutting-edge features and functions of the current models, such as the ability to enjoy High Definition Blu-ray Disc (BD) movies and games, as well as various content and services downloadable through the network.
The new PS3 system's storage size has increased from 80GB to 120GB, and with the extra capacity users will be able to store more games, music, photos, videos as well as various content and services available through PlayStation Network. Having more than 27 million registered accounts around the world, as of the end of July 2009 PlayStation Network offers more than 15,000 pieces of digital content, ranging from game titles, trailers, and demos to more than 15,000 movies and TV shows via PlayStation Store.
PlayStation Network members can also download free applications, such as PlayStation Home, a ground-breaking 3D social gaming community available on PS3 that allows users to interact, communicate and share gaming experiences, as well as Life with PlayStation, which offers users various news and information on a TV monitor in the living room by connecting the PS3 to the network.
Since the launch of PS3 in November 2006, the number of disc titles has reached more than 1,000, and downloadable PS3 games to 1,400 titles worldwide, with the support from a broad range of third party game developers and publishers. In addition to this extensive software title line-up, exciting and attractive new titles are to be released from SCE Worldwide Studios, including Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, EyePet, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, MAG, ModNation Racers, Gran Turismo 5 and more.
Other features of the new PS3 include:
PS3 system software update version 3.00
Concurrently with the release of new PS3, system software will be upgraded to version 3.00 on September 1, 2009. The update adds various user-friendly features such as the What's New screen, where users can quickly browse the new items available in PlayStation Store as well as their recently played games directly on the XMB (XrossMediaBar), with short cuts to each piece of content.
PS3 will evolve continuously with the system software updates, further improving the operability and enhancing the user experience available through the network. PS3 owners will be able to enjoy new features by simply updating the PS3 system software to version 3.00 via the System Update function on the XMB*.
Bravia® Sync™ Feature
The new PS3 system is also equipped with the Bravia® Sync™ feature. By connecting the new PS3 system and a Bravia TV with the HDMI cable, users are able to directly operate the XMB on PS3 using the TV remote control. Other functions include System Standby that will automatically turn off the PS3 system when the Bravia TV is turned off.
Vertical Stand for new PS3 (CECH-2000)
By utilising the separately sold Vertical Stand, users will be able to set the new PS3 in vertical position, making it easier to place the PS3 system anywhere at home.
Removal of Install Other OS feature
The new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content, and users will not be able to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system.

I don't understand the reason for removing the switch off button. For example when i don't use my ps for a long time i turn off from switch instead of unplugging, is more easy to do.

What a complete crap...
They keep removing stuff and removing... And I was pretty sure they would put backwards compatibility in this new firmware but all they added was some crappy useless interface features...
Shame on them.

It begs the question - why? There are two reasons:
1) Some HW incompatibility (doubtful, its the cell processor, rest of the HW will be similar)
2) A massive exploit in the OtherOS system that could only be fixed via a HW revision
Given what we know from
, it's probable that one of the key cost reductions was by reducing the size of the flash. As otheros takes 4mb of flash, it seems like an easy way to save 1/4 of the flash space. As the flash needs to have enough of the XMB to look and feel like it's running the when downloading the firmware to the HDD, it's quite possible they were just running short of space.
That said, there could be a vulnerability too as the decision to boot otheros happens very early on in the boot process, so there's probably a choice of system software (XMB), debug or otheros.

I think that it looks alright to be honest. I know my PS3 seems to collect dust rather easily or the outside is rather prone to scratches. The new slim case material seems to combat that to some degree.
I am really happy that they decided to leave in a majority of the components that make the PS3 unique in what it offers. With the new price you really cannot beat what the PS3 is offering.
Also, the whole no more "Other OS". Do you think it has anything to do with that article a month back or so that talked about how they are developing a way for Linux to access the GPU?

Those are grat changes boosting the already nice dps of frost mages. Reduced cooldown on cold snap means that not only mages will be able to use an ice block twice per boss fight, but might even get it off 3-4 times (important for such fights as Moroes and Illhof). That also increases the dps of frost mages by increasing the time that our water elemental can be out.
We go a nice boost already in 2.3 as the damage bonus penalty was removed from improved frostbolt and improved fireball talents and now these buffs .. frost mages will top the damage meters once again!

Often, he runs alone, in a physical sense.
Few training partners could keep up with Meb Keflezighi. In fact, only a few living humans are capable of matching him stride for stride. But this 5-foot, 5-inch-tall guy with the funny sounding name (pronounced ka-FLEZ-ghee) didn't become America's best distance runner without help.
"You cannot make it by yourself," Keflezighi said by cellphone Thursday afternoon.
He'd just conveyed that message, and more advice, to elementary school students in Austin, Texas. From there, Keflezighi flew to Boston to sign copies of his new book, "Run to Overcome: The Inspiring Story of an American Champion's Long-Distance Quest to Achieve a Big Dream." This week, he'll visit Terre Haute to promote his book today and watch the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships at the LaVern Gibson Championship Course on Monday.
All kinds of people pass through Terre Haute. Few arrive with more inspiring stories than this softspoken, 35-year-old husband and father.
As a boy, Keflezighi and his family fled war-torn Eritrea — a small region seeking independence from Ethiopia — to Italy and then the United States. Meb showed up in middle school as a sixth-grader, unable to speak English. "They thought I was potentially stupid, or a mute," Keflezighi said. His youth, though, was unlike anything the other kids experienced.
He'd witnessed the atrocities of war. He saw an automobile and a television for the first time at age 10.
"The first time I saw a car, I ran from it," Keflezighi recalled. "The first time I saw a TV, I went behind it to look for the people."
Life in the United States wasn't simple, either. Keflezighi's parents worked hard to raise 11 children (their family grew here) and send those children through college. Meb's path to a UCLA degree sprouted in a seventh-grade gym class in San Diego. The students ran a mile and were timed. Keflezighi had never done that before. Yet, he finished his debut mile in 5 minutes and 20 seconds — a minute faster than the rest of the class.
Keflezighi won a pair of state championships as a high-schooler. UCLA Coach Bob Larsen gave him a scholarship to UCLA, and Keflezighi responded by winning four NCAA cross country championships as a Bruin. In 2004, Keflezighi won the silver medal in the marathon at the Summer Olympics at Athens, Greece. Last year, he won the New York City Marathon, coming back from a potentially career-ending broken pelvis.
Those last two accomplishments — the silver medal at Athens, and the New York City Marathon title — come with a distinction perhaps more important to Keflezighi than his placement in those historic races. In Greece, he became the first American to win an Olympic marathon medal since Frank Shorter took gold in 1972. In the Big Apple, Keflezighi became the first American to win the New York City Marathon since Alberto Salazar in 1982.
The first American …
He received that precious label on July 2, 1998, when he became a U.S. citizen. Keflezighi has committed that date to memory. "Independence. It was my Fourth of July," he said. He also remembers Oct. 25, 1987, the day his family came to the United States.
When Keflezighi describes this country as "the land of opportunity," he's not simply repeating a cliché. He relishes his opportunity.
"I take pride in the United States," Keflezighi said.
To other immigrants, he advises them to embrace their pride and opportunity wisely. "Assimilate to the culture, but don't forget where you came from," Keflezighi said.
And, "surround yourself with good people."
Family, friends, teachers and coaches all played roles in Keflezighi's path to citizenship, as did his Christian faith. Those elementary-schoolers listening to Keflezighi speak on Thursday heard him emphasize the importance of making good choices in friendships and activities.
"There are good things about the United States, and there are bad things about the United States," he said. "Stick to people who are doing the right things."
Keflezighi linked up with one of the wisest Americans ever, John Wooden. During Keflezighi's UCLA days, he sought out a chance to meet the legendary former Bruins basketball coach. He visited Wooden's modest home, and was amazed by the volume of books the coach kept. "It was a library," Keflezighi recalled.
Wooden, who died this year, "had that thirst for knowledge," Keflezighi said. "He was a dear and special man."
That's why Keflezighi often quotes Wooden. In the days before this year's New York City Marathon, Keflezighi told the New York Times, "John Wooden says it's not what you do in the two hours of practice, but how you take care of yourself the next 24 hours."
If the 500-plus collegiate runners, their coaches, parents and fans flowing into Terre Haute today and Monday need some guidance, American Meb Keflezighi has a pretty good sense of direction.

MARK BENNETT: Living downstream: From source, Wabash bears mark of mankind mile after mile
Something was missing. I'd never visited this spot before, but the view looked familiar. I've walked the banks of the Wabash River and its tributaries countless times, catching crawdads and skipping rocks in Honey Creek as a kid. On the other side of the state, where the Wabash crosses from Ohio into Indiana, trees arched over the water as it ran under a bridge on a quiet country road. It looked like western Indiana, except for one absent element. Litter.
MARK BENNETT: We are Hauteans (ho-shuns)
I fielded an hilariously disturbing question recently. A friend asked if the word "Hautean" is meant to be a derogatory label.

A 50-year-old man comes to the pulmonary laboratory for evaluation of chronic shortness of breath. He has smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years. His arterial blood is analyzed for pH, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen (SaO2), and hemoglobin content; the results are shown below. The patient is at sea level and breathing ambient air (21% oxygen). His respiratory rate is 25 respirations per minute, and tidal volume is 400 ml.
PaO2 60 mm Hg
SaO2 90%
PaCO2 30 mm Hg
Hemoglobin 14 g/dl blood
PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood and is expressed in mm Hg. This pressure is exerted by oxygen molecules in their gas phase (dissolved in the plasma component of blood, as opposed to chemically combined with hemoglobin). Note that once oxygen is chemically bound with hemoglobin, it no longer exerts a pressure. Note also that PO2 (without the a) is the generic term for partial pressure of oxygen in any gas or liquid, and it should not be used without reference to the site (e.g., inspired air, alveolar air, pulmonary veins, etc.).
SaO2 is the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen in arterial blood, and it is expressed as a percentage of total binding sites that are combined with oxygen. Thus if 95 of every 100 hemoglobin binding sites are combined with oxygen, the blood has an SaO2 of 95%. A major, but not the only, determinant of SaO2 is the PaO2.
The relation between PaO2 and SaO2 is illustrated by the oxygen-hemoglobin equilibrium (dissociation) curve, the exact shape and position of which depend on several factors (pH; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate; PaCO2; and body temperature).
Oxygen content is a measurement of quantity. Unlike PAO2 and SaO2, oxygen content directly reflects the number of oxygen molecules in the blood; the units are ml O2 per 100 ml, or per liter, of blood (both per dl and per L will be found in various texts and also in hospital laboratories). Neither PAO2 nor SaO2 gives information on the content of oxygen in the blood; they only provide a pressure and
percentage of saturation, respectively. PAO2 and the shape and position of the oxygen equilibrium curve determine the SaO2. The SaO2 and the hemoglobin (Hb) content determine the oxygen content (along with a small contribution from dissolved PaO2). Clearly, without knowledge of the hemoglobin content there is no way to know how much oxygen is in the blood. Anemia does not affect PaO2 or SaO2. Hence a severely anemic patient could have a low oxygen content and a normal PaO2 and SaO2. Arterial oxygen content is provided by the following formula:
3. Is there sufficient information to calculate minute ventilation, dead space ventilation, and alveolar ventilation? If so, make the calculation; if not, state why not. Can you discern from the respiratory rate and/or tidal volume if he is hyperventilating?
Minute ventilation = respiratory rate x tidal volume = 25 breaths/min x 400 ml = 10 L/min; this value is higher than the typical resting minute ventilation of 6 L/min. Because neither dead space volume nor alveolar volume is given, we cannot calculate dead space ventilation or alveolar ventilation. Even though his respiratory rate and minute ventilation are increased, we should not state that he is hyperventilating (for the reasons explained in the next question). However, we can answer this question and assess overall adequacy of alveolar ventilation from the measured PaO2 (see the next two questions).
The alveolar ventilation equation is called "the central equation of pulmonary physiology." In fact, this equation is crucial to understanding many physiologic derangements in patients with respiratory tract problems. Rearranging the equation we obtain
Thus alveolar PCO2 is directly proportional to the CO2 production (VCO2) and inversely proportional to alveolar ventilation (VA). Any proportionate changes in the VCO2 and VA will not change PACO2; anydisproportionat e changes will affect PACO2 predictably, depending on whether the greater change is in the numerator or denominator. For example, a 40% rise in VA and a 10% rise in VCO2 will lower PaCO2.
5. Is this patient's alveolar ventilation, relative to CO2 production, more or less than normal? How is the answer to this question used to determine if a patient is hyperventilating or hypoventilating? What is the clinical significance of this information?
Alveolar PCO2 in the alveolar ventilation and alveolar gas equations can be replaced by the measured arterial PCO2; this is true because there is no "gradient" between the two values, as there is between alveolar and arterial PO2. Substituting PaCO2 in the alveolar ventilation equation, we see that PaCO2 is determined by the ratio of CO2 production to alveolar ventilation:
Normally, the amount of VA is sufficient to excrete the produced CO2 and thereby keep PaCO2 in the normal range (36 to 44 mm Hg). With increases in CO2 production (as during modest exercise), VA will normally rise a proportionate amount and thereby maintain a normal PaCO2. If VA does not rise along with VCO2, or if VA falls while VCO2 does not or if VA falls more than VCO2, VA will be reduced out of proportion for the VCO2; this situation represents hypoventilation, which raises PaCO2. Conversely, when VA is elevated out of proportion to the VCO2 there ishyperventilati on, which reduces PaCO2. By definition, then, hyperventilation and hypoventilation refer only to a specific PaCO2 value, which in turn reflects the state of alveolar ventilation relative to CO2 production. Note that hyperventilation and hypoventilation do not refer to rate or depth of breathing, or a patient's respiratory effort. This is why you cannot say, from observation alone, that a patient is "hyperventilating." Irrespective of rate or depth of breathing, a patient with lung disease may in fact be hyper-, hypo-, or normally ventilating relative to CO2 production.
6. What is his calculated PACO2? (Use the alvolar gas equation below. As is customary, assume that PCO2 measured in arterial blood [PaCO2] equals mean alveolar PCO2 [PACO2]. Also, assume his respiratory quotient is 0.8.)
From the alveolar gas equation, PAO2 = 114 mm Hg. This patient is hyperventilating. Hence alveolar PO2 is increased. (The alveolar gas equation shows that PAO2 always increases if PaCO2 decreases, other factors remaining unchanged.)
