Spanish investigators say in the months leading up to March 11, El Chino became the plot's middleman. He grew up in the same neighborhood as two of the other bombers, and Spanish investigators believe he was the link to Jamal Zougam, who provided the cell phones that sparked the detonators for the backpack bombs. He secured from a Spanish ex-miner the bulk of the Goma-2 Eco explosives used in the attacks, paid for with drugs and drug proceeds. Under a pseudonym, El Chino took over the lease on a small country cottage in a village near Chinchón, southeast of Madrid. It was there that he and his team gathered the explosives, practiced their bombmaking, and finally assembled the 10 bombs with their telephone detonators that were deployed on March 11.
The shock of the attacks continues to reverberate across Europe and Morocco, a society that takes pride in its reputation for moderation and tolerance. King Mohammed VI, who was in Madrid last week to attend the unveiling of a monument to the March 11 victims, has spoken out strongly against the terrorists, calling them "villains" who have tarnished the Muslim faith. But counterterrorism experts say the kingdom's autocratic political system may be driving more young Moroccans into the hands of clerics who preach the concept of al-ghazwah, or incursion into enemy territory. "March 11 was an important precedent," says a senior Spanish counterterrorism official. "Now Moroccans know that they can do it. Others may use that self-confidence to do it again." If so, Europe may be only beginning to reap the legacy of El Chino. --With reporting by Bruce Crumley/ Paris, Jeff Israely/ Rome, Scott MacLeod/Tangier and Jane Walker/ Madrid

Q&A: What's gone wrong with Cisco?
Cisco Systems, the networking company which was once the high-flyer of the high-tech sector, has warned of a collapse in sales and profits. BBC News Online looks at what went wrong and why.
What does Cisco do?
Cisco is the leading supplier of network equipment, like switches and routers, to big private companies and telecoms firms.
Its equipment provides the devices that link company computer networks together, and allow data and voice traffic to travel through telephone networks.
And its technology is the key hardware in the development of the internet.
Through acquisitions, Cisco had been able to buy two companies a month, keeping it at the cutting edge of networking technology.
It is one of the largest employers in Silicon Valley, with its presence felt everywhere in San Jose, California, the centre of the high-tech industry.
Why does its profits warning matter?
Cisco was the pin-up of the new economy, with sales growing from $2bn to $20bn in five years, while its value on the stock market soared to $550bn last year - making it, for a short time, the most highly valued company in the world.
It had convinced investors that sales and profits could grow 30-40% each year.
Now the company has admitted that such forecasts are no longer realistic. It plans to sack 20% of its workforce and take a $4bn restructuring charge.
As Cisco is considered a well-managed, highly capitalised technology company, its problems show that the entire high-tech sector in the US, not just dot.com companies, is in serious trouble.
Cisco's shares have now plunged by some 80% since their high one year ago, and it is now worth less than $100bn.
What went wrong?
Cisco became a victim of its own success.
It sold much of its equipment to new start-up telecoms and internet companies, sometimes lending them the money to buy it.
Now many of these companies have run out of money, and have had to sell their equipment on the second-hand market, undercutting Cisco's prices.
Cisco has now built up a huge inventory of unsold goods.
Cisco does not manufacture most of its equipment itself, and it is proving difficult to cancel its contracts with its suppliers quickly enough.
What are the implications?
Cisco's announcement shows that the problems in the high-tech sector are more serious than previously thought.
The belief that high-tech industries were immune from the cyclical downturns in the economy has been shown to be false.
Any recovery is likely to depend on how fast the US economy pulls out of its recession, and when corporate profits recover.
And it also depends on how quickly companies decide they can afford to invest massively in information technology again.
How will other high-tech companies fare?
Cisco's retrenchment is just one in a series of problems that is hitting the high-tech and telecoms sectors around the world.
Rivals like Nortel Networks, Lucent and Ericsson, and customers like AT&T and BT, have all announced cutbacks.
Many of these companies will be announcing their results in the next few weeks.
But the consensus is that, if even Cisco is in such difficulties, its weaker rivals, who have more debt and fewer resources for research and development, will be even more seriously affected.

So lets find out if there's any nudity at the theaters, dvd, or on t.v. this week. Yes, it's time for this week's Mr Skin minute.

The Bottom Line / Emergency Dos and Don'ts
At first, the Finance Ministry mentioned an NIS 8 billion budget cut, and now it is talking about one of NIS 13 billion. Let's say there is a NIS 10 billion shortfall, and until the plan is put into action, half the year will have passed.
At first, the Finance Ministry mentioned an NIS 8 billion budget cut, and now it is talking about one of NIS 13 billion. Let's say there is a NIS 10 billion shortfall, and until the plan is put into action, half the year will have passed. Therefore, in order to cut NIS 10 billion, Finance Minister Silvan Shalom will have to slash annual expenditures by NIS 20 billion - a vast sum. But even in an emergency situation, there are right and wrong ways of going about things. So here are some suggestions, in order of dreadfulness.
1. Canceling the increase in child allowance for the fifth child upward is the most correct proposal, since it is both economically and socially correct. Cancelation would discourage poor families from having more children.
2. The second law that should be annulled is the Negev Law, which grants unjustified tax benefits to all Negev residents. At the same time, the ministry should cancel the tax breaks for residents of the settlements and the North. All told, this would lead to an enormous saving of NIS 1.6 billion.
3. Deferment of reductions in betterment tax, sales tax and other benefits recently granted by the Rabinowitz Committee to the real estate sharks and contractors - NIS 700 million.
4. Cutting ministry budgets. And don't be taken in with ministers' tears. There are superfluous ministries that should be closed, such as religious affairs, there are ministries which could be combined to avoid an overlap and there are local authorities which should be amalgamated.
5. The number of yeshiva students who receive monthly stipends from the Religious Affairs Ministry has risen dramatically in recent years, and it is clear that some exist only on paper. The number stands at 220,000 today, and the taxpayer does not have sufficient strength to make a living for such a vast number of parasites who live at the expense of the public, without working.
6. Every year, wages in the public sector rise automatically by 3 percent due to promotions and seniority pay. Therefore, public-sector pay should be frozen, thereby saving NIS 1.3 billion.
7. A security levy. Even without a levy, the working public's tax burden is too high and encourages emigration. So this is a bad idea. The only consolation - a levy is temporary.
8. Defense tax. The difference between this and the levy is that this is long term, and therefore, worse.
9. Compulsory loan. This is a dreadful solution, since a loan has all the bad qualities of a tax, and, in addition, there is the problem of implementation. With a loan, the budget deficit doesn't even drop since it is money that eventually needs to be repaid.
10. Increasing the budget deficit. This is the absolute worst solution, because a state that plans a deficit larger than 3 percent GDP, after finishing 2001 with a deficit of 4.5 percent, is a dangerous state that you wouldn't want to trade with, to invest in or to lend to, except at clearance prices.

Lord Judge in sovereignty warning
Claims by the European Court of Human Rights to set judge-made law on a widening range of social issues is threatening to undermine the sovereignty of Parliament, one of Britain's most senior judges has warned.
Lord Judge, the former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, said that Parliament needed to decide for itself how much power it was willing to cede to the Strasbourg-based court.
His intervention came as the President of the Court, Judge Dean Spielmann, warned Britain's refusal so far to implement the court's ruling that the blanket ban on prisoners voting must end was a breach of international law.
At the same time, he said that any attempt by Britain to pull out from the European Convention on Human Rights could set the UK on the path to leaving the European Union altogether.
However, Lord Judge expressed concern that Judge Spielmann was claiming too much power for a body of unelected judges whose decisions could not be overruled.
"This is a court which is not answerable to anybody," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"If it's right, it can't be overruled by anybody. I genuinely don't think that a body of judges - however distinguished - should have that sort of power."
Lord Judge, who described himself as a supporter of the convention, said the court's claims had implications for the sovereignty of every nation in Europe - not just the UK - and he urged the Government to seek allies in trying to rein it in.
"His (Judge Spielmann's) view means that the court in Europe is entitled to tell every country in Europe how it should organise itself," he said.
"He refers to it as a living instrument. Of course the convention isn't a dead instrument, but it means that legislation can be made by judges on all sorts of societal issues - binding legislation - and if that's the position there is a very serious problem with sovereignty.
"It's not a UK problem, the sovereignty issue affects every single country in Europe."
He added: "It is time for us to recognise that it is a very important time. My own view is: stop here."
Judge Spielmann, however, insisted that the UK should not defy the court's ruling on prisoner voting rights.
"This would be clearly inconsistent with the international law obligations of the United Kingdom and also the obligations under the convention," he told the Today programme.
He said that if Britain sought to pull out of the convention - as some Tory MPs are demanding - it would mean leaving the Council of Europe, the body which created the European Court of Human Rights, and ultimately the EU.
"I cannot see how the United Kingdom could remain a member of the Council of Europe while at the same time withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights," he said.
"All the members of the European Union are also members of the Council of Europe. I can hardly see how a member of the European Union could withdraw from the Council of Europe. I see a problem there.
"I think from a political perspective it might be very difficult to stay in the European Union."
Lord Judge acknowledged that there were differences among British judges as to what extent the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights were binding on the UK which MPs now needed to resolve.
"My very strong belief is that this issue now needs to be resolved by Parliament," he said.
"The issue that is in play here is not the convention, it's sovereignty .The most fundamental principle of our unwritten constitution is parliamentary sovereignty.
"Our elected representatives have ultimate sovereignty not only over our own unelected judges but in my view over the unelected judges of any other jurisdiction, including Europe, unless we choose to give them sovereignty."

text: Hi guys, the reason I'm asking how long you can expect to last with your original recoil spring assembly is because I now have about 4300 rounds through my stock G20 3rd gen and since this weekend I experienced 3 failures to feed in 120 rounds. The round makes it to the chamber but you need to pull the slide back just a little bit and let go before it can fully chamber. I still have the original OEM recoil spring assembly (17 lbs) in my G20 and while it does still feel quite good, I suppose it may have lost some spring tension after 4300 rounds (of which 90% were real 10mm rounds, in the 600 ft/lbs range). On top of that it was freezing outside today and I was on the open range, this may have put some extra stress on the functioning of the pistol. My ammo was ok (OAL of less than 1.250): 11,5 gr Accurate 7 with 170 gr Fiocchi FMJ and normal LP primer, cases were ok too. I wasn't limbwristing (firm hold) and it occured in the first few rounds when shooting a full magazine. I already have the +10% magazine springs. Pistol was clean too, extractor also. Magazine seems ok too. So the only thing I can think of is that my recoil spring assembly needs to be changed after 4300 rounds. It worked well in normal temperatures, but it seems that the well-used recoil spring combined with freezing temperatures will give you some FTF, at least that is my way of thinking. Do any of you guys have any thoughts on the subject?

On the 22nd August 2012, the fate of tiger tourism in India, and those who generate their livelihood from it, will be decided, as India's Supreme Court meet to assess whether tigers (Panthera tigris) and tourists can co-exist in India. This decision will have consequences for India's tiger population, estimated at approximately 1,700, as well as the tens, if not thousands of Indian's whose livelihoods depend on tiger tourism.
Image courtesy of Keith Roper
Ajay Dubey, a campaigner who filed the petition to the Supreme Court did so because he believed that the 1972 Wildlife Protection act was not being adhered to. He complained that no one was enforcing the law, with tragic results. The law states that tiger reserves should have a core area that only forestry officials are allowed to enter, surrounded by a buffer zone that tourists can visit.
The Supreme Court appears to want to enforce this restriction and only allow tourists to visit buffer zones. However, neither tourists nor tigers are likely to want to visit the buffer zones of some of India's tiger parks; for example, to reach the buffer zone of Ranthambore National Park tigers would have to travel 35 miles from the main park across main roads. Ranthambore's tiger population has increased since tourism was introduced, as it has provided local people with the opportunity to make a living from tiger tourism rather than from illegal wood cutting which destroys the tiger's habitat, or poaching.
Several arguments against the banning of tourists from a central zone have been put forward, both from guides who depend on the income and tiger conservationists. The main argument from both parties is the vast decrease in revenue that will occur if the ban is made permanent. The forestry department will not be able to protect tigers from poachers and local encroachment of the land without tourist income.
It is not just the tour guides who will suffer from a lack of tourism, the hoteliers, mechanics who fix the jeeps, local craftsmen, souvenir sellers and all of their families will lose their source of income. Public services, such as free hospitals, have also been established from the profits generated by tourism. Goverdhan Singh Rathore runs one such hospital, which treated 90,000 patients last year. If the law is enforced, driving tourism from the area, then the hospital will have to be closed.

Q: We live in a nice development that has a homeowner's association with rules about colors and landscaping guidelines. They were really strict rules at first, with liens against owners and everything, but a neighbor down the street redid their yard a year ago with nonapproved plants. Nothing is being done about it. Some people complained, but most neighbors like what they've done. I don't really mind, because we want to paint our house in a lovely yellow color that's not on the list. Should we just go for it?
A: It depends on whether you're willing to face consequences or repaint! The general idea of a homeowner's association is to provide guidance for improvements and maintenance of common areas. In a perfect world, a strong HOA has rules that help people make decisions about color, maintenance and landscaping and provides an easy way of telling someone their taste is unacceptable to the group.
Some people love HOAs and the guidelines they provide. Others don't like their creativity to be restricted and won't buy into a neighborhood with one. It depends on what you value. But you can always get creative on the inside of your home!
In your case, a weak HOA seems like a great opportunity to do what you want as long as you don't complain about others' choices. But if more people start bending the rules, eventually the HOA will notice and take action.
A better solution would be to volunteer for your HOA and start a committee to evaluate existing color rules and landscaping guidelines. Maybe the existing leaders lost interest and a lot of people also think it's time for an update. Neighbors who care the most about the exterior appearances will also likely participate, and from there it should be a democratic process. As a committee, you'll research ideas, create a proposal for changes to the existing guidelines, and present it to the board or the general membership for a vote.
Going about painting your house a different color in a collaborative way is a lot more likely to succeed for you in the long run. Let me know how it goes, and send me a picture when you're finished!

What do you do when two awesome 4G smartphones land on your desk? You do a dogfight, that's what! Aaron throws the HTC EVO 3D and LG Revolution into the ring to see which one is the best. The HTC EVO 3D is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and has a 4.3-inch stereoscopic qHD display, dual 5-megapixel cameras with 720p HD video recording capabilities (in 2D and 3D), front-facing camera, and Android 2.3 with the newest iteration of HTC Sense, version 3.0. The Revolution, on the other hand, rocks a 1 GHz single-core CPU, 4.3-inch display, 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, front-facing shooter, and Android 2.2 with LG's custom user interface.
Both smartphones would make a great addition to your pocket, but you know how we roll when it comes to a dogfight at PhoneDog. Only one can take home the crown. Which one will win? Part 2 of 2.

Discussion in 'Darkroom Equipment' started by RAP, Jul 9, 2003.
How do I make up a 10% solution of potasium bromide from a powder? Is it 1 gram/100ml water?
No, 10g/100ml water.
Since 1ml water=1g, 1g/100ml would be 1%.
Jorge O
10 grams/100ml!
The reason I was so anxious this afternoon was that I had run out of benzotriazole and the only thing I had as a substitute was potassium bromide, KBr. But I had forgotten what the ratio was for a simple 10% solution. WHAT A DUMMY!
I called Kodak and suffice it to say, they were no help. The rep has not called with the answer as he said he would. He questioned me where I heard of KBr and I said that AA's "The Print" had it listed as an anitfog chemical. He said, "why don't I ask him?" I said that I do not talk with the dead.
I called Calumet and they said they had discontinued the Zone VI bottled benzotriazole, because of the proliferation of the "D" word.
So I called Photographer's Formulary. The girl who answered, the receptionist, knew the answer! Maybe she wasn't the receptionist but I was very very impressed! She had it right on the tip of her tongue.
Suffice it to say, I am a Photographer's Formulary customer from now on!
BTW, they do sell powdered benzotriazole.
The Kodak response is brilliant.
I've been using benzotriazole in place of Kbr for decades.
Does any one remembers Kodak Anti Fog n. 1 in pills?
man, I'm THAT old!
Jorge O
Apparently so am I. I remember the Kodak pills from 20 years ago. I had some but never used them and ended up throwing them away. I used the Zone VI for years but now Calumet discontinued it.
I remember those pills, too, but I never used them myself. I've been using Edwal Liquid Orthazite lately as a restrainer, which is a solution of benzotriazole and sodium sulfite.
I've never used benzotriazole with the amidol formula. From what I understand it will make the prints a colder tone. By increasing the amount of potassium bromide you can warm the print tone. I usually start with 4cc of 10% bromide, and if the prints look too cool (not that kind of cool), I just add more. Hope this helps.
I think that from what I have heard the use of Benzatriazole in the Amidol formula, for use with Azo, has to do with the age and place of manufacture of the Azo paper. Grade two Azo is currently manufactured at the new plant in Canada with a corresponding new emulsion (wouldn't you know this about Kodak...take a good thing and change it). The grade three Azo is also manufactured in Canada with no change in emulsion. Grade two Azo is the paper that some people are incorporating Benzatriazole with the Amidol formulation.
According to Michael Smith, it's not Kodak's fault. There's been a change in the chemistry of the gelatin they can get which forms the substrate of the emulsion. Their choice was to either make the change or stop producing Grade 2 altogether. Personally, I'm rather happy that they chose the former. I've gotten much better prints with it than the old Rochester emulsion.

HATTIESBURG — The University of Southern Mississippi's fiscal crisis — with its threat of triple-digit faculty cuts in fiscal year 2012 — has grave implications for its external funding operation, as well.
"You are going to run into a capacity problem — you will not have the (number of) faculty to sustain your research operation," said Cecil Burge, vice president for Research and Economic Development.
Very soon, the problem will be off Burge's hands. He retires at the end of June after 40 years with the school, including six in his current position.
The third of three candidates to replace him visited the Hattiesburg campus March 2. Timothy Phillips, a senior faculty fellow in the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, gave a PowerPoint presentation of his background and goals to a group of students and faculty in the Polymer Science Auditorium.
Previous candidates to visit were A. Gordon Emslie, associate vice president for research and dean of the graduate college at Oklahoma State University, and Denis Wiesenburg, dean of the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
"Our new VPR has to be somebody that will go out and be able to sell this university and direct people within the university to the right areas of research to attract the funding," said Bret Calhoun, assistant director of the School of Polymer Science and who attended the presentations.
During Burge's tenure, the amount of external funding shot up from $69 million in FY05 to $102 million in FY07, before tapering off to $91 million last year.
Burge and Calhoun said the three candidates are well-qualified to take the reins, but both added that challenges lie ahead.
"We can probably sustain $75 million a year competitively," Burge said.
Burge said the university can cope with a "capacity problem" by using research dollars to fund professors — outside of the regular E&G (educational and general) budget — whose primary function is to do research. That strategy requires a balancing act, however.
"You don't want your professors to be too far removed from the academic side," he said.
There's also the question of where those research dollars are going to come from. Calhoun said state research funding is tough to come by these days.
"Dollars are tight," said Calhoun. "We've got eight universities funded by the state competing for those dollars. When we're trying to work with the Mississippi Development Authority or DOT (Mississippi Department of Transportation), there's only so much money going around these days."
Burge agrees the state picture is "bleak," but said the university is well-positioned to work with private corporations for grant money. He added that the federal picture is promising.
"(President) Obama has shown he is committed to the National Science Foundation. He's shown he's heavily committed to energy as well," said Burge.
Long-term, Burge said his successor will need to be creative in building "consortiums" with other institutions from other states to obtain these federal dollars. That's because the Mississippi's prime legislative position can't last forever, he said.

After last week's X Factor episode was disastrously pre-empted due to a rain delay during the baseball playoffs (say that fast five times), Fox promised to re-air the ep in its entirety. But they didn't keep that promise, instead cutting the two-hour show down to one when it finally emerged this week on a "special" night and time. That means only determined east coasters who slogged through last week's choppy mess got to see who Britney Spears and L.A. Reid chose to be on their final teams, as that portion of the show never aired on the west coast and was left on the cutting-room floor this week. Got that? Good. Now let's move on!
Yes, this week was all about Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell, who each chose four acts to advance to the live shows.
Rocking some crazy thick, dark eyebrows, Demi broke the news to her Young Adults in the living room of her swanky L.A. loft. After cutting loose white-boy rapper Nick Youngerman and bullied girl Jillian Jensen, the former Disney star started to cry. Jillian's sobbing was just too much for Demi, who wiped away tears while admitting that crushing people's hopes and dreams "sucks." But what she really should have been upset about was letting through confused country/R&B artist Willie Jones and hot-mess mom Paige Thomas, whose worsening vocal performances every week made it clear that she sailed by on her Rihanna-like looks.
Rounding out Demi's motley crew are girl-next-door Jennel Garcia and animal print-obsessed CeCe Frey, who's the most seasoned and deserving of the bunch but who's going to have an uphill battle after being called "unlikable" a gazillion times over the past few episodes. So, good luck with that, girl, 'cause these reality competition shows are just as much, if not more so, about personality as they are about talent. Still, we can cross our fingers she'll hang on longer than subpar Paige, but we won't hold our breath.
Moving on to Simon and the Groups down in Miami, we're giddy to announce that our girl-crush Lyric Da Queen easily sailed through to the next round with her rap group Lyric 145. (We can't wait to see what other fancy-pants eye-patches she has in store for us in the future!) Also moving on to the live shows were Texas-bred siblings Sister C, manufactured girl group Lylas and bro band Emblem3, whom Simon acknowledged weren't too polished but still had something – incessantly exposed abs, perhaps? – America would fall in love with.
Sent packing on Simon's teams were duo Dope Crisis and manufactured boy band Playback, who didn't even have a name until this week as far as we know. While we thought Playback would squeak through based on their similarities to One Direction, we're relieved we won't have to listen to lovesick Owen Stuart constantly mention his phantom girlfriend Tori anymore.
Now, buckle up: The X Factor goes live next week with the Top 16. This is where things really start to get interesting, people!

Camp Pendleton, CA
Dear SFF Team,
WOW, another EXTRAORDINARY Marine Corps Marathon for the Semper Fi Fund!!! We had over 800 athletes run for the Fund! Red shirts were everywhere!! Our Community Runners and Sponsors helped to contribute more than $425,000 to our 2010 MCM!! The United States Olympic Committee also presented Team Semper Fi with a check of $228,000 on Friday evening. Grand total for the weekend- a record $653,000!!!!
From Team Semper Fi, we had 49 injured athletes running or cycling, with injuries ranging from: traumatic brain, amputation, paralysis, and burns. Their families also joined in with 28 TSF family runners. We had record number of hand cycles at 25, first time wheelchair racing bikes at 2, and the rest ran on their prosethics or able body legs!!
Of special mention were our active duty Marines running to raise awareness and funds for their wounded brothers!! We also had Marine Liaison staff from Bethesda, BAMC, and our DISC (District Injured Support Cell staff) what a great example that we are doing it right when those active duty Marines who meet and care for the wounded run for the Fund!! We LOVE this!!
All-in-all it was a fun filled and extremely heart moving few days–
1st Day: Friday night kicked off our festivities with a special dinner at 8th and I, Marine Corps Barracks. We pushed the limits of the room with over 200 in attendance- patients from Walter Reed and Bethesda with their family members and our Team Semper Fi and families! It was a night to remember. Members from the MC Band played for us during dinner. After dinner, combat wounded Marine and county singer, Stephen Cochran, entertained the group with some new hits and a very special Christmas video and song, "Alone on Christmas†soon to be released on iTunes. All proceeds from "Alone on Christmas†will be going to the SFF! Special guests that night were: General Amos; Bonnie Amos; Sgt Maj Kent and his family; WWR CO- Col John Mayer and Anne Mayer; Bobby and Cheryle Hogue; Charlie Huebner – Chief of Paralympics; Roger Neppl – Military Director for the Paralympics; and our Board member and TSF sponsor, Kim Foley. We were blessed to have Gen Amos as our guest speaker. He moved the room and many of our wounded wanted to re-enlist!! General Amos' genuine love and affection for his Marines shined through each word! It was a magical evening and the Marines said their favorite part of the weekend!!
2nd Day: Several Team Semper Fi members visited Bethesda to talk with our newly injured who were unable to leave the hospital to attend Friday's dinner. They talked with the Marines and Sailors and their families in an intimate way. It was priceless. We met families of Marines in the ICU who had only arrived the night before. The Team was the best possible medicine for both newly injured and their families- showing hope and inspiration with each room we visited. One highlight was a Marine who had lost his leg 10 days earlier in Afghanistan. One of our TSF members, "Gu†was also an above the knee amputee…at one point I looked over and Gu had taken off his leg with tennis shoe to hand to the Marine. The Marine picked it up, checking it out and poignantly stated…..â€you know, the last week I've been wheeling around and seeing pain….pain….right now you are the light at the end of the tunnel…I'm going to run the marathon with you next year! ..just priceless! What instant validation for Team Semper Fi's mission!!!
After the hospital we joined our Community Athletes for a special pre-race pasta dinner sponsored by Flir, HP, New Balance, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP- along with special guests the Honorable Wallace "Chip†Gregson and Cindy. The dinner was beautiful and enjoyed by both our TSF and those beautiful souls who support SFF mission and efforts. We had ROTC units, friends and family members, and runners who worked over many long months to raise our new best for more than $425,000 for the Fund. The chemistry between our TSF and the Community Runners was just beautiful!!! Our special guest, Ronnie Porta, injured in 2nd Mar Division in 2007, with 80% burns and a right arm amputation, gave such an amazingly inspirational speech to the group..there was truly not a dry eye in the room. Ronnie spoke of his 110 surgeries…with more pending, but it was his positive energy and spirit that touched every person in that room. The highlight of his speech, and what sent those who weren't already crying to join the rest of us, was his tribute to his mom and the standing ovation that followed by the entire room to his mom. All present showed their admiration for Ronnie at the end of his speech with a standing ovation. Then, to cap off the night our guest speaker and Chairman of the Semper Fi Fund, General Al Gray, talked about the Fund, thanked our staff and volunteers for a job well done and spoke to all the active duty and retired Marines in the room with his own style of deep affection for their service and sacrifices. Lot's of tears shed this night!!
3rd day: RACE DAY: Morning began at 4:45 to assemble hand cycles and get ready for the marathon. The air was a buzz with excitement, camaraderie…ribbing, laughter and some trepidation…with 26.2 miles waiting for many of them and 10 kilometers waiting for others!! By 0800am the starting line was the place to be with Gen Amos up above on the podium encouraging the racers. Our 10K runners were located across the mall…ramping up for their race, for some their first competitive event since injury!! No words can describe the excitement and pride visible across the athletes faces this special morning!
What a let down it was to have this weekend end!! It was filled with moments made in heaven!! We have built a family….an extended family that we love and it keeps growing. We can hardly wait to see what next year will hold!!!!!
For All of our SFF staff, volunteers and supporters who helped to make the 2010 MCM weekend the BEST to date, a heartfelt thank you and know that our wounded and their families are forever grateful. They will never be alone or forgotten as long as we have a breath!!
Much love,
Karen Guenther
Founder, President

Inspectors say it is just one too-typical example of how Interior Department agencies care for — or don't — the artifacts in their museums and research. At the Boston National Historic Park, "antique furniture, carts and bicycles were stacked on top of each other or were leaning against each other without protection" in a storage area, a new inspector general report says. At California's Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, pests threatened displays of historic furniture. But "pest management controls were removed from the site due to the large volume of pests being trapped and they were unable to keep up with removing the pests being caught," the report says. "Countless artwork, artifacts and other museum objects are in jeopardy" because proper preservation and protection has been neglected at sites nationwide, according to reports on five separate Interior agencies released by the department's inspector general last week. The new reports follow up a report issued in December that said the department largely doesn't know what is in its collections, often doesn't know if items were obtained legally and didn't appear to care for many items properly...read more
COMMENT: And this is who they demand keep these artifacts, to protect them from the public and the private sector. Looks to me like someone needs to protect them from the oink sector.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- The season is over for Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young, who will be put on injured reserve with a thumb injury, head Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday.
Fisher said Young has a torn flexor tendon in his right thumb that requires surgery. The signal-caller sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins.
"Our medical staff is recommending surgery ... and that would indicate his season is over. In the next day or so we are going to put him on injured reserve," Fisher said. "Our doctors said ... that it needs to be fixed. So that's what we're going to do based on the recommendation."
Young had been stripped of his starting job by Fisher after the Washington game, reportedly following a verbal altercation between the two in the locker room.
Rookie Rusty Smith is set to assume the Titans' starting quarterback job.
Young was enjoying his best year with a 98.6 quarterback rating in nine games, throwing for 1,255 yards and 10 touchdowns with three interceptions.

1995 News Releases
Release Date: 10/17/1995
Contact Information: Lois Grunwald, U.S. EPA, (415) 744-1588
(San Francisco) -- The U.S. EPA will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, October 18, in Santa Maria to discuss U.S. EPA's plans to discharge stormwater from stormwater storage ponds at the Casmalia Hazardous Waste facility and to listen to the community's comments on the plan.
U.S. EPA is seeking comment on an action memorandum describing the planned release of the stormwater. The memorandum has been distributed and also will be available at the meeting.
The U.S. EPA will discuss the sampling results from the March and October 1995 testing of the stormwater ponds. The October results are preliminary and subject to further analysis by U.S. EPA.
The meeting will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Betteravia County Government Center, Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, 511 Lakeside Parkway.
In advance of winter rains, U.S. EPA is proposing to discharge stormwater from three stormwater ponds on the site to Casmalia Creek to prevent possible overtopping and/or breaching of the impoundments and the resulting surge of water into the creek, which have been concerns of the California Division of Safety and Dams.
U.S. EPA believes it is necessary to release the water because the environmental and safety impacts of an uncontrolled surge of water into the creek would be far greater than a controlled release of the water, a view shared by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Also, if the water is not discharged, heavy winter rains may increase the amount of pollutants in the ponds.
The ponds contain stormwater runoff that has accumulated on the site since 1989. Samples from the March and October tests found that some contaminants, notably certain heavy metals and solvents, were detected in trace amounts.
The levels of many of the pollutants observed in the Casmalia ponds are comparable to those typically observed in stormwater runoff from industrial and other urban areas that commonly flows to rivers, streams, and oceans. It's not uncommon for some stormwater to contain these contaminants, and others, at levels in excess of the Casmalia pond water, depending on the surface it flows over and local land uses.
With the possible exception of nickel, U.S. EPA does not believe that any water quality standard established for toxic pollutants will be violated by the discharge. However, other water quality standards, such as total dissolved solids and sulfates, may be exceeded. Water quality standards are established to protect the designated beneficial uses of a waterway, such as the maintenance of habitat for fish and other wildlife.
U.S. EPA believes discharging the pond water will not result in levels of toxic pollutants exceeding water quality standards in the creek because mixing of pond contents prior to and during the discharge should lower overall concentrations. Also, pollutants did not appear in every sample taken from the ponds, an indication that levels of pollutants in the ponds are low overall.
The pond water slightly exceeded some drinking water standards, but because the creek is not a source of drinking water, water quality standards provide a more appropriate comparison.
The trace metals found in the tests were barium, thallium, chromium, nickel and zinc. Barium and zinc were detected in two ponds but at levels below water quality standards. Nickel was detected in two ponds at levels close to or slightly higher than water quality standards.
In the March test, thallium was detected in only one sample in one pond at levels exceeding water quality standards. However, the creek level of thallium was even higher. Also in March, chromium was detected in three samples in one pond, and these exceeded water quality standards. Thallium and chromium were not detected at all in the October test. The creek level for chromium was also comparable to the levels in the ponds.
Eight toxic organic compounds were detected in the ponds. All but one were below water quality standards. Trichloroethylene (TCE), a solvent, exceeded the standards in only one sample in one pond in the March test. It was detected again in one pond sample in October, and it was below water quality standards. Other water quality standards that were exceeded included pH (March only), nitrate, fluoride, chloride, dissolved solids, turbidity, and sulfate.
U.S. EPA also performed a test in September 1995, which measured the survival rate of stickleback fish after a controlled immersion in pond water. All of the fish survived, which shows that the pond water is not acutely toxic to aquatic life. Additional chemical sampling is ongoing.
The U.S. EPA is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Vandenberg Air Force Base to minimize impacts to sensitive habitats downstream by slowly releasing the water and monitoring the discharge. An extensive Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan that specifies how the discharge will be conducted has been developed with input from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Written comments on the action memorandum must be made by
noon on Thursday, October 19, and should be mailed or faxed to:
Wendy Shafir (H-3)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
75 Hawthorne St.
San Francisco, Calif. 94108
Fax: (415) 744-1044
A table summarizing the data will be available at the meeting. It is also available upon request.

Shah Rukh Khan's bodyguard Ravi, the man closest to him at all points of time, has actually done a role in Salman Khan's Dabangg. Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra and her ex Akshay Kumar have the same birthday — September 9. The script of Chennai Express was developed by Ajay Devgn Ffilms. But it's being made by his bete noire, Shah Rukh, under the latter's banner — Red Chillies Entertainment. When ADF had planned it, the film was to be directed by Rohit Shetty and was to have either Ranbir Kapoor or Shahid Kapoor in the lead. It is still directed by Rohit, but now has SRK as protagonist. Kareena Kapoor and her closest rival Katrina Kaif are both managed by the same agency. The two actresses share the first two initials of their name, KK. And now that Kareena has a third K — Khan — to her name, Katrina, in all likelihood, may also add a third K — Kapoor, to her name. Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow was called Mansa. It was later changed to Jalsa because Mansa was considered inappropriate according to Vaastu. Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow was called Jannat and this was later changed to Mannat because of a similar predicament. Sonu Nigam and Sonu Sood share their birthday (July 30). The Bollywood singer and the actor also hit a rough patch simultaneously. While the former lost his mother, the latter suffered multiple fractures and is bed-ridden for a month. A Britisher, Sir Richard Attenborough, made Gandhi (1982) a biopic on Mahatma Gandhi, our Father Of The Nation.

A Book We Love: Proof of heaven
August 17, 2013
In Proof of Heaven, a neurosurgeon has a near death experience which contradicts his lifetime of studying science and medicine. In dealing with his patients, Dr. Alexander has always gently explained away afterlife events as hallucinations, or any number of injured brain illusions. But then it happened to him. Now he is in the unique position of being a scientist/neurosurgeon and having an unbelievable experience in the great beyond to report, explain and understand. This fascinating book takes us on that afterlife journey with Dr. Alexander.

"Nopalera" is Spanish for a "patch of prickly cactus." That's exactly where the owners of a Gainesville restaurant called La Nopalera found themselves after the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) discovered they weren't paying wages to Hispanic employees, making them work for tips alone.
To get out of the sticky situation, the restaurant's owners have agreed to a settlement that will pay the workers $178,000.
The Gainesville branch is the third La Nopalera restaurant caught forcing their workers to work for only tips. The other two settlements—in Jacksonville—cost the owners $934,000.
DOL investigators also found that employees never received overtime pay for working more than 40 hours a week. In addition, employees were forced to work off the clock before and after shifts, and the restaurant failed to maintain accurate time and payroll records.
Under the settlement terms, 24 employees will receive $176,377 for minimum wages owed. Two employees also will receive an additional $1,558 in overtime back wages.
Note: As immigration has heated up as a political issue, federal enforcement agencies are paying close attention to how immigrants—both documented and undocumented—are being treated in the workplace. When exploitation of immigrant workers comes to light, employers can find themselves paying a significant public relations price along with back pay and penalties.

What teens worry about.
(This is the accompanying post to the previous one about how to talk to teens.)
Teens love to talk: they love to talk online, on aim, on the phone, at school, after-school, at the mall, in the car, behind their friends back–what on earth are they talking about?…and why does sudden lock-jaw occur when parents are within a five foot radius?
I decided to see what the most popular calls were at a hotline called Teenline (where teens call in to get help from other teenagers) So what are the most popular issues? What do teens today really worry about? And why aren't these issues brought up more with parents, counselors and teachers who can actually give advice and seek help?
1) Relationships
Teens frequently want to talk to other teens about relationships with parents, siblings, friends and teachers. This is a broad topic I know, but interactions, building relationships and friendships are extremely important to teenagers.
2) Abuse
This includes sexual, physical, verbal and neglect as types of abuse. Many teens call in for 'friends' or people they know who are being abused to talk about what abuse actually means. Frequently, teens want to know where is the line between parents who are yelling and verbal abuse? What are the laws on spanking children?
3) Sex
Despite the attempts of many school health classes, teens have lots of questions about pregnancy, condoms, abstinence and oral sex.
4) Drugs and Alcohol
Issues with addiction and parties come up for teens when they know of friends who might be dealing or using drugs.
5) Suicide
Unfortunately, a great number of teens think, worry about or know someone who is considering suicide. Many times teens feel isolated and alone and need someone to talk to, but do not know where to turn when they might get in trouble or have to divulge secrets they are not ready to tell.
Surprisingly, Teenline gets an equal number of male and female callers. All kinds of teens today are dealing with these issues, not just girls, not just poor kids, not just rich kids, not just kids in private school…everyone is dealing with these important, and sometimes very serious issues.
For parents, maybe you are wondering—why your teen does not talk to you about these issues. Teens feel uncomfortable talking to adults because they feel they will not understand what is going on for them today, they are afraid they will get in trouble and worry that they will be judged.
Therefore, it is important for adults to be aware that even though teens might not act like drugs or sex is a big deal to them, they do actually worry about these issues.
Be sure to check out the accompanying post to this one "Three Ways Parents Can Get Teens to Talk", to get your teens to feel comfortable talking to you about these issues.
If you like this article, read our other Radical Parenting Articles. If you are really inspired, think about taking the Radical Parenting Pledge..are you radical enough?
This was interesting, because I thought about all of this while I was a teen, and although it seems like all my son thinks about is video games, I know some of these are a concern to him.
Thank you for posting this. As a parent we can never be armed with too much information.
I look at it like this, our teens aren't always going to tell us what's going on in their "world". The more we know the better we can understand them. It's always tough with the first teen. I am better prepared now than before. I still have 2 more to go.

For those of you who aren't from the US. Our Senate is currently conducting a hearing to question a potential new member of the US Supreme Court. The discussion has gone from the serious to the ridiculous as the two parties which are in power in the US government grill this potential candidate.
We are usually politics free around here, but this didn't comment on public policy so much as provide an amusing sidebar. For the sake of the moderators' sanities can we request no political party bashing in the comments.

Also make sure you're not using fake information , as the surveys have ways to detect it. Also mobile/cellphones offers are the easiest to complete and gose through all the time.
4. Why do we need to complete a survey to get access of the downloads?
The download mirror allow us to save bandwidth and at the same time keep our files sage.Server costs is very high due to the high traffic we get.Also we are not using an US host, so the cost of the server is much higher. The revenue earned from surveys allow us to pay for the cost and continue creating/uploading hacking programs for you guys to use.
5. It didn't worked. What should i do?
You need to wait the we update the hack. But dont forget there are some difficulties to make this hack.We can't hack games in 1day or 1week. So please respect us before judgeing about non-working hacks.
Its fully normal situation that out hacks can be dedected by game owners after thousands of people download and use them.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI/MSU Athletics) – Mississippi State opened its Southeastern Conference weekend baseball series with Florida on a positive note Friday night.
Behind a strong pitching start from Luis Pollorena and dominant closing by Jonathan Holder, the 17th-ranked Bulldogs took a 7-3 victory at Dudy Noble Field.
With the win, MSU improved to 25-8 overall and 4-6 in league play, while Florida fell to 14-17 and 4-6. The Bulldogs captured a Friday night win for the second time this season and will attempt to clinch its first series victory in conference play when the teams meet again at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Pollorena (5-1) drew his second straight series-opening start and garnered the win. In six innings of work, Pollorena allowed six hits and two runs (both earned), with four strikeouts and a walk. Ross Mitchell threw the seventh inning and was lifted after back-to-back hits in the eighth inning.
Holder completed the contest for his ninth save. While facing the minimum six batters, Holder retired each of them, including four by strikeouts.
"We really have needed to get Jonathan into games, we weren't going to let this opportunity slip away," MSU head coach John Cohen said."He was dominant as always. Luis struggled in the first inning but regained his composure and gave us a great start."
Pollorena was touched for a hit and allowed to walks as the Bulldogs' first-inning struggles continued.
MSU quickly gained the momentum and the lead for good with four runs in the third inning.
Hunter Renfroe reached on a one-out error to start the big inning. Brett Pirtle then lined a game-tying double down the left field line. Wes Rea followed with a hit. C.T. Bradford and Mitch Slauter drew back-to-back walks. A passed ball scored the go-ahead run, while Sam Frost lined a sacrifice-fly to tack on another score. UF's second error of the game extended the inning and pushed the lead to 4-1.
The Bulldogs ran the lead to 5-1 on a Rea RBI-single in fourth inning and later grabbed a 6-2 lead after Renfroe's 10th home run of the year in the sixth inning.
"We had some really nice situational at-bats," Cohen said. "We got some bunts down. We had some sacrifice flies. We did a lot of things well and had some really great at-bats."
The Bulldogs finished with 10 hits, including multi-hit games by Renfroe, Pirtle, Rea and Mitch Slauter. Returning from illness, it was Slauter's first appearance in the lineup since March 23.
Florida finished with eight hits. Taylor Gushue led the way with three doubles.
Jonathon Crawford (1-5) worked five innings and took the loss. Crawford allowed six hits and five runs (two earned), with four strikeouts and five walks.
In Saturday's contest, MSU is scheduled to start senior right-hander Kendall Graveman (3-2, 2.43 ERA), while UF is scheduled to start freshman left-hander Danny Young (1-2, 3.12). The contest will be shown regionally by Cox Sports and Comcast Sports Southeast. The series finale is at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Bangs Are In! Follow The New Trend Inspired By Michelle Obama
Photo: WENN
Since emerging in the style spotlight during the 2008 Presidential election, First Lady Michelle Obama has uplifted the careers of bright designers such as Jason Wu, whose Inaugural Ball 2009 dress almost broke Twitter, and even brought pearls back in style. In celebration of her 49th birthday, the First Lady's stylist took the shears to her hair and cut some darling, rounded bangs. News of her bangs have spanned national headlines with an outpouring of affirmation for the cut.
Bangs are definitely in season. Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union and Freida Pinto have been spotted donning bangs lately.
Want to keep up the this year's hottest beauty trend? Before you make an appointment, get some celeb inspiration on the perfectly tousled bang.

Lucy Baluteig-Gomes is the French designer behind Rose la Biche, a poetic line of handmade clothing that's both easy to wear and one-of-a-kind — think petals cascading from collars, ruffled hoodies, and tulle neckpieces.
Lucy and I have known each other for years — we first met at a C&Z get-together in San Francisco in 2006 — and I have followed her adventures excitedly as she moved from San Francisco back to Paris, before relocating to Barcelona where she lives now. Lucy is a mother of two, and I am delighted to have her as my new guest on the Parents who Cook series.
I have two kids: my son Oscar is 6 years old, and my daughter Brune is 3. While they have two very different personalities, they get along very well and are very protective one of another.
Oscar is sweet and sensitive, calm and responsible. He's sociable and like to make people laugh. He cannot stand injustice. We like to joke that he'll win the Nobel Prize for Peace one day.
Brune is a lively little girl, playful and full of energy, with a strong personality. She has quickly understood that a smile can get her almost anything she wants, and she uses this trick as much as she needs!
Did having a child change the way you cook?
Not really. Once the baby phase was over, I quickly made a point of cooking the same meal for the whole family. First because it's more practical, but also because I cherish mealtimes very much — that's my conservative side.
We talk about the meal, the vegetables or spices we're eating, we comment on whether we like them or not, and then we chat about everyone's day. I like that time when we're all gathered around the table, and my husband and I try our best to make it happen on weekdays, even if it means eating late.
Plus, I come from the Southwest of France, a region where food is taken very seriously, and in my family, cooking is almost a religion. In the end, I might have slightly modified some of my recipes to make them more kid-friendly (like preparing fish into fishballs) or quicker (like a great 9-minute risotto in the pressure cooker). But all in all, I didn't really change the way I cook.

He, D'Intino; Berti, Maestri, Prestia, R. Tagliavini; Orchestra and Chorus of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Mehta.
Production: Ozpetek. Arthaus Musik 108 040 (Blu-ray) or 101 598 (DVD), 151 mins., subtitled
Conductor Zubin Mehta celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday last year in Florence with a new production of Aida at the Maggio Musicale. There was a high-powered cast led by Chinese soprano Hui He in the title role and Luciana D'Intino as Amneris, and additional interest centered on the opera debut of Turkish-born film director Ferzan Ozpetek. Mehta's history with Aida goes back at least to 1966, when he recorded it on LP with Birgit Nilsson and Rome Opera forces. That earlier version showed the young Mehta as forceful and not very subtle. Forty-five years later, his conducting retains the energy, but now with more attention to color and details.
Aida is "grand opera" only in the triumph scene and a few segments of Act I. Much of the rest is intimate and delicate, and Mehta brings this out, notably in the Nile scene, where instrumental solos and splashes of interacting orchestral colors have the intimacy of chamber music. Ozpetek, too, is at his best in showing niceties of character and individual reaction, though he does not cheat us out of the big pageants either. Dante Ferretti's sets are simple, almost cartoonish, dominated by bright colors and large simulated stone statues.
This is a traditional staging, but we read clearly in He's very expressive face and body language the conflicts that Aida experiences. The soprano's communicative abilities are especially evident in "Ritorna vincitor!," with its constantly changing emotions. Her Aida is small of stature but large in personality. She has a juicy spinto that rides the big moments but allows for gorgeous pianissimos when called for. Her high C in "O patria mia," begun softly and expanded, is memorable.
D'Intino's Amneris, big and blustery in the manner of old-time divas, manages to convey the heartbreak of being scorned along with the arrogance of royalty. This is a major voice that opens up in the lows and the highs: she is daunting right from her opening "Quale insolita gioia" and a powerhouse in the judgment scene, where she never flags.
Marco Berti is also something of a powerhouse. His spinto sound is the right weight for Radamès, but it's monochromatic and dull. Moreover, he is a distinctly unromantic hero, lacking chemistry with either of the two women who are supposed to be in love with him. Ambrogio Maestri, the Amonasro, is also a rough-hewn singer, but his voice has the requisite brawn and the sustained high notes of a genuine Verdi baritone. His Act III scene with Aida is forceful and thrilling, one of the set's best moments.
Giacomo Prestia makes an impression as Ramfis with his solid, deep bass. His opening lines in the Nile scene, going down solidly to low F-sharp, are particularly striking, with the melting response of D'Intino's Amneris — a lovely passage that is hardly ever noticed.
Roberto Tagliavini's King and Caterina di Tonno's Priestess are adequate but no more. Choreographer Franceso Ventriglia finds an imaginative twist in a mirror dance for the Moorish slaves, but his prominent insertion of a scared young girl in the triumph scene ballet is distracting and extraneous. Quite touching, however, is the full company singing "Happy Birthday" to the maestro — "Tanti auguri a te!" — after the final bows.

The cardiovascular physical examination includes inspection, palpation, and auscultation of the heart as well as examination of the arterial and venous pulses (see "Examination of the precordial pulsation" and "Examination of the arterial pulse" and "Examination of the jugular venous pulse"). The genesis of heart sounds continues to be a subject of debate and the precise mechanisms of their production have not been identified with certainty. This topic will review the auscultation of heart sounds. The auscultation of cardiac murmurs is discussed separately. (See "Auscultation of cardiac murmurs in adults".)
A variety of stethoscopes are available for auscultation of heart sounds. Many stethoscopes have a separate bell and diaphragm. The bell is most effective at transmitting lower frequency sounds, while the diaphragm is most effective at transmitting higher frequency sounds.
Some stethoscopes combine these functions into a single surface such that the intensity of pressure of the stethoscope against the skin determines whether the stethoscope functions as a bell or a diaphragm. In addition, pressing the bell more firmly against the skin alters the frequencies that are loudest towards those of a diaphragm such that higher frequency sounds become louder and lower frequency sounds become softer.
The classic hypothesis for the genesis of the first heart sound (S1), for which there is much support, relates the high-frequency components of S1 to mitral and tricuspid valve closure; the first component of S1 is attributed to mitral valve closure and the second to closure of the tricuspid valve [1-4]. A second hypothesis suggests that the principal high-frequency elements of S1 are related to movement and acceleration of blood in early systole, and are influenced by the peak rate of rise of left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure (dP/dt), which is a measure of contractility and ejection of blood into the root of the aorta [5].
S1 occurs just before or coincident with the upstroke of the carotid pulse. Mitral valve closure precedes the upstroke of the carotid pulse because it occurs before LV ejection begins. However, the delay between mitral valve closure and the upstroke of the carotid pulse normally is too short to be appreciated at the bedside. Tricuspid valve closure normally coincides with the upstroke of the carotid pulse.To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription.
