Now this is a friend to animals.
Mildred Wrench, 84, was honored July 22 with the Zoological Society of Milwaukee's Leontideus rosalia award for going "above and beyond" to the non-profit Society. She's been a member of Zoo Pride, the Zoological Society's volunteer auxiliary, for nearly 27 years.
Wrench has racked up nearly 12,370 volunteer hours for the Zoological Society and the Zoo. Wrench served on Zoo Pride's Board of Directors and on the ZSM's Board of Directors from 1996 to 1998, and has chaired many Zoo Pride committees, from special events to primates. She still volunteers at the Society and the Zoo every week. The award is a framed golden lion tamarin footprint.
Here are some other folks who give their hearts to the Animal Kingdom.
-Andy Sawyer of Hartland received the Emu Egg, the Zoological Society's top award, for exceptional commitment to the Society.
Is Milwaukee's vacancy rate the result of Wisconsin's high taxes? We'll debate that and more on "Sunday Insight with Charlie Sykes." On the guest panel will be Jeff Fleming, Mikel Holt, Rebecca Kleefisch and me. You can see it at 10 a.m. Sunday on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4).
Green Bay - And the prodigal blog returns. For how long, no one knows. Doubt I'll be throwing out the PDB before an 8:45 a.m. practice on the day of a double session, but you never know. The situation is fluid. We're trying to keep it positive (after a month off I still have my Mike McCarthy-speak. Nice!).
Joe Philbin's comment about the offense: "We were kind of paper champions in a lot of regards on offense. The fact of the matter is we really weren't good enough in certain spots and, in some other spots, we were just flat-out bad. We stunk on the opening drive of the game, we stunk on the opening drive of the second half and we didn't play well in two-minute."
Sure-fire sign Scott Wells' roster spot is in serious jeopardy, offensive line coach James Campen brought up the possibility of Wells playing guard. And I'm posing for the cover of a fitness magazine tomorrow.
That tight end Jermichael Finley was completely and utterly lost last year. So those decisions to throw to him against Tennessee were made because why?
Steve Jones, point man for the prospective new promoter group for racing at the Milwaukee Mile, said Saturday he was surprised by comments from the Indy Racing League that it had given up on a race for 2010.
Terry Angstadt, president of the IRL's commercial division, said Friday that the league would love to be in Milwaukee but "that wasn't possible" for next season.
Just minutes before Angstadt's comments, Jones had been talking with the IRL, he said, and although they agreed that they couldn't put together a deal just yet, talks would continue in hopes that one could be reached.
This could be: A) a negotiating ploy by the IRL; B) a negotiating ploy by Jones' group; C) mass confusion related to a group getting the go-ahead to work with State Fair Park on a contract to promote barely 12 hours before the IRL schedule came out and Angstadt spoke; D) some combination of the above; or E) something else entirely.
Makes your head spin, doesn't it?
Green Bay - Some further thoughts and notes as we put the first day to bed.
Here are my Tweets from practice. Like the Packers' offense, there is certainly room for me to get better.
San Diego - In order to make room for Claudio Vargas on the roster, the Brewers optioned right-hander Tim Dillard back to Nashville today.
Dillard simply didn't show enough in his brief time with the team to make it keep him, although it's not like he was the only one struggling. His lack of command had to play big role in the decision.
In 4.1 innings, Dillard allowed six runs on seven hits and walked five batters to one strikeout. Last night he pitched 1/3 of an inning and gave up three runs on three hits.
San Diego - With a left-hander on the mound and Corey Hart getting hot, Ken Macha decided to move him into the second spot in the order and Casey McGehee, in the lineup tonight, will hit his usual fifth.
2B Felipe Lopez
RF Corey Hart
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
CF Mike Cameron
SS JJ Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Mike Burns
1st inning: Felipe Lopez led off with a ground out to third against lefty Clayton Richard, who was acquired in the Jake Peavy trade yesterday. Corey Hart was punched out on a fastball at the knees. Ryan Braun fouled out to right.
David Eckstein singled but the Padres couldn't score off Mike Burns thanks to a nice sliding catch by Hart in right on an Adrian Gonzalez liner and a deep fly ball out by Kevin Kouzmanoff, who put the ball on the warning track in center.
No score.
2nd inning: Fielder struck out looking, McGehee grounded out and Cameron flew out.
Will Venable hit a solo home run off Burns and Eliezer Alfonzo doubled, but he was stranded. Burns left a center-cut change over the plate just above the knees and Venable smoked it.
Today is my last day as the head of the Journal Sentinel's copy desk. I'm taking a buyout after 19 years at the paper, moving to the next phase in my career. It's been a great ride at a great newspaper.
Editing and language will still be part of my life, of course. In the short run, I'll be teaching editing part time at Northwestern University, so I'm sure I'll have lots to blog about.
So, dear readers, please join me at Words to the Wise at http://kathyschenck.blogspot.com. After a well-deserved vacation, I hope to post more often than in recent months.
So if you have questions or topics, fire away.
Well, not really.
Not that there's anything wrong with fishing or hunting. It's just that I've got this deal with wildlife. I don't go in the woods looking for them and they don't come in the city looking for me.
Just taking a little time off before football season. We'll chat later.

95 points Robert Parker - "Similar in style, the 2008 Chardonnay The North Slope comes from a slightly cooler site. The light straw color with a greenish hue is followed by abundant notes of quince, white currants, white peaches, and such honeyed tropical fruits as pineapples and oranges. It, too, will drink well for 7-8 years. These are consistently terrific wines, seemingly regardless of vintage conditions. Moreover, they are realistically priced, and wine consumers couldn't have a better friend than proprietor Stephen Hansel. All of the estate grown Chardonnays are fermented and aged in Francois Freres French cooperage (40% new and 60% used), and undergo lees stirring and full malolactic. Hansel has added two negociant wines to his portfolio made from grapes purchased from the Diamond Ranch in Carneros and Feeney Home Ranch in the Russian River. Hansel told me that yields were dramatically reduced in 2008 because of the spring frost, and that explains why the wines have an extra level of power and concentration. Across the board, Hansel's yields were down by 33%-40% from a "regular" vintage such as 2007. The two negociant offerings are pleasant wines, but I'm not sure I understand why he's producing them given how great the bargains are from the estate wines. The 2008 Pinot Noir crop was not as badly affected by frost as were the Chardonnays, and generally, the following wines are all tightly-knit and slightly closed, but with good acidity, concentration, and potential"

"Sometimes," says Robert Rutherford, a sheep specialist and professor at California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo, "the more care we give sheep, the more harm we can do them ... we can become so intent on caring for them, it's easy to forget they've lived on wild moors, mountains and rangelands with minimal attention from humans for thousands of years."
© Karen K. Acevedo
An general overview of basic sheep management:Feed Your Flocks a Balanced DietAs ruminants, sheep have a large stomach chamber--a fermentation and storage organ called the rumen. Ruminants have billions of helpful protozoa and bacteria residing in their rumen that flourish on a high-fiber diet. Further digestion occurs in the abomasum, or true stomach, which secretes acids and enzymes similar to the human stomach.
"In reality, you're not feeding the sheep, but feeding the microbes that live in the gut," says Rutherford. "Ruminants can only function if their rumen organisms are working well." The basic components of a healthy sheep diet include the following:Water: Since sheep take in moisture with the plants they eat, animals maintained on a diet of dry hay and grain will also drink more water.
Forage: Sheep prefer forbs--broad-leaved "weeds" that include clover and alfalfa--but they also dine on grass and shrubs like blackberries and multiflora rose, as well as timothy, brome grass and birdsfoot trefoil.
Grain: Sometimes sheep need the extra energy and protein that grains supply, such as during an ewe's late gestation.
Vitamins and Minerals: Feed stores carry supplements in block and loose form, but before purchasing a sheep-specific vitamin or mineral supplement, ask your local extension agent or your veterinarian what deficiencies occur in your area.
Note: Feed your sheep at about the same time each morning and evening; avoid upsetting the rumen with sudden changes in type or amount of feed, and never serve moldy grain or hay.TopShelter Your Sheep from Nasty WeatherIn general, adult sheep can cope with many types of weather thanks to their insulating coats of wool, but offer shelter to give them a place to:
Lambs in particular become easily chilled during foul weather. Consider preserving a stall in a barn for your sheep--or try simple, three-sided shelters, port-a-huts and hoop houses. The shelter will need soft bedding to absorb urine and to give your sheep a comfy place to rest and ruminate.TopHandle and Capture Your Sheep with CareBecause sheep can become easily stressed, herding, capturing and handling techniques help keep a flock's anxiety level down and reduce the chance of injury. Consider the following:
TopVaccinations Always consult with your veterinarian first to find out what diseases typically occur in your areas. A common vaccination: a subcutaneous injection (an injection under the skin) of Covexin 8 or CD & T to protect against the clostridial diseases and tetanus.Ask your veterinarian or an experienced sheep raiser to show you the proper technique if you've never given a vaccination before.Parasite Control Internal and external parasites can be combated with a variety of drenches, pastes, boluses, injections, sprays and pour-ons. It's smart to practice alternative methods of control such as good pasture management and rotational grazing, and only treat your sheep for internal parasites when you identify a problem. Consult your veterinarian and reference materials, such as Popular Farming Series: Sheep, for guidance.Hoof CareSheep hooves grow constantly and, if not worn down through daily activities, will need trimming to keep them from growing long enough to cause lameness.As with administering vaccinations, let a pro show you the correct technique. Be sure to wear leather gloves, eye protection and appropriate clothing to shield you from kicks and slips with the trimmers. Using a good, sharp pair of trimmers pointed away from your body, trim turned-over side flaps and carefully pare down long toes to give the hoof an even surface. Don't cut too much at once to avoid cutting the hoof into the quick. If you do draw blood, a liberal application of styptic powder should staunch the flow.TopProvide Proper Pre-lambing CareOne of the times an adult sheep definitely deserves special treatment is during the critical period leading up to lambing. All that fetal growth in late gestation demands a lot of energy, which means the ewe will need to be on an increasing plane of nutrition without becoming overly fat. Her water requirements will also increase and she should get plenty of exercise, as well.For an in-depth discussion of late gestation nutrition and pregnant-ewe care, read Managing Your Ewe and Her Newborn Lambs by Laura Lawson (TDF Publishing, 1997).TopWatch Out for Horns!Horned sheep are lovely, but keep the following in mind when caring for them:

High-quality construction; performs better than almost all air coolers.
Biff Tannen
Price is not in line with the competition; lacks software controls.
Zalman has a well-earned reputation for high-quality air coolers. The "flower" design of its older all-copper heatsinks was eye-catching and distinctive, and its large (for the time) fans ran quietly even under load. Lately, though, liquid cooling has been all the rage. Closed-loop units from companies such as Corsair and NZXT are packaged with the cooling tubes and pump pre-attached to a radiator—referred to as an "all-in-one" (AiO) design. These units are much less expensive than cobbling together separate components, and there's little maintenance required. The LQ-320 marks one of Zalman's first forays into the AiO market, and it's a respectable part, though arguably priced too high for its performance.
The LQ-320's radiator gives it 7.7cm of total length, once the fan is installed.
Its noise level isn't a problem, though. Left to its own devices, the LQ-320 hovered around 1,700rpm under load, creating a noise level that was noticeable but not distracting. Even with the fan cranked to 2,000rpm, it wasn't that distracting and our overclocked Core i7-3960X test machine never cracked 70 C under a pretty hefty load. We use an internal Intel tool to load up the CPU to its limit, more so than with Prime95.
Under normal operating conditions, the LQ-320 noise level blends into the background—pretty much on par with a Phanteks or Noctua air cooler.
The radiator is large and in charge. At about 2 inches thick (that's thicker than two stacked case fans), to which you must bolt a 1-inch-thick fan. If you're sporting an LGA2011 board with tall RAM, there's a chance the DIMMs will bump into the cooler but it depends on your case and motherboard. Unlike a typical fan, the included unit has only four mounts on one side so it can only be mounted to the radiator where air is pushed through it.
The fan uses a 4-pin PWM plug that goes directly into your motherboard as opposed to the USB-controlled (and similarly priced) Corsair H80i or NZXT Kraken X40 "intelligent" coolers. If your mobo has really granular and intelligent control over fan headers, such as Asus Fan Xpert 2, it's probably OK. But if you're using a budget board that's "dumb," don't expect much control.
The pump is powered by a separate 3-pin plug that goes directly into an available mobo fan header. On boards that give you very little or no control over the fan headers, we'd advise you to get a $3.50 Molex-to-3-pin adapter to give the pump as much power as possible. Even on boards with control, we'd recommend that you make sure the pump is getting the proper voltage to get the full performance out of this cooler.
But although it lacks control software and unified cabling, it doesn't really need software tweaking, and you don't have to factor in software glitches. And plugging it directly into your power supply is not a major inconvenience. The biggest problem with the LQ-320 is actually its street price of about $90, which is virtually the same as the superior NZXT X40 and Corsair H80i. Granted, the X40 requires a 14cm fan mount, so it's not directly comparable. But since you can buy it for under $100, it's a factor, and the LQ-320 does not emerge victorious. If the LQ-320 settled into the $60-$70 range, it would probably fare better.

Definitions for black grama
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word black grama
Princeton's WordNet
black grama, Bouteloua eriopoda(noun)
a pasture grass (especially of western coastal regions of North America)
Bouteloua eriopoda
Bouteloua eriopoda, commonly known as Black Grama, is a perennial prairie grass that is native to the Southwestern United States. Its main means of reproduction is by stolons, as its ratio of viable seeds to sterile ones is naturally low. The disparity may play a role in its lack of tolerance to overgrazing, but aside from this B. eriopoda is a good forage food for livestock. It was first described, as Chondrosum eriopodum, in 1848 from specimens collected along and nearby the "Del Norte" river in New Mexico.

She was born Dec. 22, 1920, in Melstone, the daughter of Harper and Maud Burton. The family lived in Roundup, Lewistown and Red Lodge before settling in Roberts, where she graduated from high school.
She eloped with Palmer "Bud" Loyning to Columbus on Oct. 1, 1944. They settled on a ranch on Elbow Creek where she was clerk for Loyning School. In 1955, they purchased the Burton Ranch and moved into Roberts.
Mrs. Loyning had managed the Red Lodge Café, was a Stanley Home Products area manager and was the activities director at the Carbon County Memorial Hospital. She ran for Carbon County commissioner and was a trained emergency medical technician. She made cakes for weddings and special occasions.
Mrs. Loyning was active in the Cowbells, Home Economists and the Veterans of Foreign Wars auxiliary. She had been Montana state president of the Business Professional Women's Club and Montana Farm Bureau.
Following Mr. Loyning's death in 1995, she sold the Loyning Ranch and moved to Yuma, Ariz. Astoria, Ore., became her summer home before she returned to Montana in 2010. She had received care from Tender Nest Assisted Living.
Survivors include children, Linda Fenley Moyer of Grants, N.M., Hanly Loyning of Roberts, Karen Wrench of Billings and Harper Loyning of Salt Lake City; nine grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held in the summer. Arrangements were by Dahl Funeral Chapel.
Memorials may be made to the Alzheimer Association, Montana Chapter, 3010 11th Ave. N., Billings, MT 59101.

I use/recommend Pocket Controller Pro, a solid option that includes one year's worth of free updates and excellent technical support. There's a free trial available, so give it a good run for its money before making the decision to dole out some of yours.
Hope this helps,
While hunting for another utility for my HP iPaq 111 (WM 6.0) I saw a product that said it would let you see (I think control also) your PDA screens/apps with an ethernet or WiFi connection in your LAN / Home network. Since that was not what I was looking for I moved on.
Now I see a potential use and have hunted cnet downloads (where I saw it the first time) by every search criteria I can think of and can't find it, the senior moment is my inability to remember something I saw 2 days ago...
Anyone know of such a product? (as in the name of vendor)

Plaxico is a punk.
John Feinstein of the Washington Post states that the leagues should ban players from owning guns. If a player is a responsible citizen and owns a legally purchased and registered firearm, why should they be punished due to the poor judgement of a handful of players. What would be a better solution is if the leagues and team owners had a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on Guns, Drugs, etc. ONE STRIKE AND YOUR OUT!
Turn yourself in at the police station then they cuff you and take you OUT of the police station? They guy's a moron, but this police misconduct is even more outrageous than what he did.
Bloomberg's priorities:
Citigroup takes $50 billion of taxpayer money, then less than 3 weeks later fires (lays off) 75,000 NY workers who worked hard and thought they'd get pensions.
Bloomberg says nothing.
Some comparatively insignificant moron shoots HIMSELF (not even other people).
Bloomberg holds MAJOR press conference, declares moron must receive maximum sentence, despite that moron hasn't even had the benefit of a trial, much less been found guilty.
And I though Karl Rove was the king of the SMOKESCREEN. Are New Yorkers THAT stupid????? Are New Yorkers so incredibly devoid of living brain cells that they cannot see that one idiot who has hurt only himself -- destroyed his OWN CAREER -- taken money out of his OWN pockets, is meaningless in comparison to Bloomberg's FRIENDS and compatriots at Goldman Sachs, who right after receiving $10 billion of taxpayer money announced they will pay out $6.5 BILLION in BONUSES?
New Yorkers!!!!! Please, tell me, you are not that ridiculously stupid. I'm asking you, because I want to believe in you. I don't want to think you will elect Bloomberg to a third term after this unbelievably insulting gesture.
Keep silent New Yorkers, only if you ARE as stupid as BLOOMBERG says you are. If you are as smart as I think you are, go downtown tomorrow (peacefully) and demand that Bloomberg resigns immediately.
Why on earth should anyone be forced to give up their constitutional rights as a condition of employment?
there sould be a law if you do something stupid like that ur done from playing wat u do if u give them a secound chance they think they go above the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Article: Schein O, Westreich M, Shalom A. Effect of intradermal human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase on random pattern flaps in rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Studies have focused on enhancing flap viability using superoxide dismutase (SOD), but only a few used SOD from human origin, and most gave the compound systemically. We evaluated the ability of SOD to improve random skin flap survival using human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Hr-CuZnSOD) in variable doses, injected intradermally into the flap. Seventy male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups. Cephalic random pattern flaps were elevated on their backs and intradermal injections of different dosages of Hr-CuZnSOD were given 15 minutes before surgery. Flap survival was evaluated by fluorescein fluorescence. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test statistical analyses were performed. Flap survival in all treated groups was significantly better than in the controls. The beneficial effect of HR-CuZnSOD on flap survival is attained when it is given intradermally into the flap tissue. Theoretically, Hr-CuZnSOD delivered with local anesthetics used in flap elevation may be a valuable clinical tool. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2013

ABSTRACT: loss of an excised lesion can have devastating clinical and legal consequences. Previously, the incidence of pathological specimen loss was 1/1466 (0.07%) due to failure to place pathology specimens in correctly labeled containers. We theorized that a strict protocol for handling specimens would help reduce losses. To devise a protocol to reduce the loss of pathology specimens. In this study, 7105 specimens excised by one plastic surgeon were sent to the pathology laboratory using a strict protocol, which included: using a carefully labeled specimen container, inserting the specimen into the container immediately after excision (not at the end of the procedure), positioning the specimen container close to the surgical field during the surgery, and both the nurse and surgeon signing their names on the container at the end of the procedure to confirm the contents and labeling. One Mohs specimen was accidentally thrown away by a pathology laboratory technician after the frozen section report was written (an incidence of 1/7105, 0.00014%). All specimens arrived at the pathology department and no lesions were lost in the operating room. A strict written protocol for specimen handling significantly reduces loss of pathology specimens.

ABSTRACT: Malignant melanoma (MM) has increased profoundly in the past three-four decades in white populations worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. We aimed to assess the accuracy rate of diagnosing MM in the community by the surgeon and referring physicians. We prospectively collected data on all patients with preoperatively suspected or histologically proven MM, treated by a single plastic surgeon, between October 2001 and April 2005. Data were statistically analyzed using Excel software. Of the 50 patients with histopathologically proven MM, 74% were referred by dermatologists, 16% by primary caregivers, and 10% came independently or were under supervision of the operating plastic surgeon. Eighty percent MM lesions were early-stage, under 1 mm. Forty lesions were diagnosed clinically as MM by the plastic surgeon prior to surgery. Dermatologists diagnosed MM in only 30% of cases; the other 70% were referred for removal of suspect lesions. Dermatologists referred most MM cases. The high number of patients diagnosed with early stage MM (80%) reflects the efficiency of medical care in our community. We conclude that the diagnosis of MM in our community is efficient and derives from the balanced partnership between surgeons, dermatologists, primary caregivers, and patient awareness.
Article: Trends in breast reduction technique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are two main approaches to breast reduction surgery today: the traditional long scar ("Wise-pattern") technique and the more recent short ("vertical") scar technique, which is becoming more popular. During the last two decades there has been a gradual shift between the two techniques, including at our institute. To evaluate the evidence behind this obvious trend. We retrospectively collected data fromarchived hospital charts of all patients who underwent breast reduction surgery during the period 1995-2007. Epidemicological, clinical and postoperative data were analyzed and compared between patients in whom the short scar vs. the long scar techniques was used. During the study period 91 patients underwent breast reduction surgery in our department: 34 with the Wise-pattern breast reduction technique and 57 with the short-scar procedure. There was no significant difference in operative and postoperative data, including length of hospital stay. In some of the categories there was even a slight advantage (but not statistically significant) to the former. The only significant difference was the size of reduction, with a tendencyto prefer the long scar technique for larger reductions; however, with experience gained the limit for short scar reductions was gradually extended to a maximum of 1470 g. We noticed a sharp increase in the safe and uneventful practice of the short scar technique in breast reduction of < or = 1400 g--especially in young women without extreme ptosis. This observation, together with other advantages, namely, reduced scar length, prolonged shape preservation and better breast projection, support the use of this technique.
Article: Anterior rectus fascia back cut: A new modification to relieve the pressure in fascial closure of the superior pedicle of a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The maintenance of vascular patency is one of the key points to be considered after a pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap has been raised and when closing the anterior rectus fascia to avoid a hernia. In this study we describe a new approach to closing the most superior part of the fascia to help insure vascular patency. Forty patients who had their breasts reconstructed with TRAM flaps made up the study group. The new back cut technique was used in 25 patients. Of the remaining 15 patients, four required early revision on the day of operation for severe venous congestion or ischaemia. None of the patients who had the back cut technique required early revision. We found the back cut technique to be safe and easy, and we think that it can reduce the incidence of flap ischaemia and still achieve tight fascial closure.
Article: Protective Effect of Human Recombinant Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase on Zone of Stasis Survival in Burns in Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Superoxide dismutase, acting as a scavenger of oxygen free radicals, has shown mixed results in increasing burn wound survival. Originally, we demonstrated that human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Hr-CuZnSOD) could increase the survival of failing ischemic flaps in a rat model. Because of the possible similar pathophysiology of tissue ischemia in flaps and the zone of stasis in burns, we conducted a later study using 2 groups of rats with standardized intermediate burns, to ascertain whether Hr-CuZnSOD could increase zone of stasis survival in rats. The results showed that postburn Hr-CuZnSOD failed to improve zone of stasis survival in burns. We decided to undertake a new controlled study to ascertain whether there is a protective effect of Hr-CuZnSOD in cases of intermediate burns. We used 2 groups of rats, one of which received prophylactic treatments with Hr-CuZnSOD before the induction of standardized intermediate burns. Results showed that preburn Hr-CuZnSOD also failed to improve zone of stasis survival in burns. Further studies are needed to adequately understand the effect of oxygen free radicals in burn wound pathophysiology and to determine whether Hr-CuZnSOD has a role in the clinical management of burns or should be abandoned.

ABSTRACT: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the world. Total tumor ablation is the gold standard of treatment. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new clinical method, we dubbed the "stretch test," in reducing the incidence of incomplete excision of BCC. All BCCs excised between October 2001 and June 2007, by 1 plastic surgeon, served as the treatment population. Until September 2004, BCCs were excised in the traditional manner and this group served as a control. From October 2004, the stretch test was used in all patients with BCC and this group served as a study group. Overall, the incomplete excision rate was 3.7% (22/596). The rate of incompletely excised BCC until 2004 was 6.4% (16/249) and it decreased significantly (P < 0.05) from 2004 to 1.7% (6/347) in the group in which the stretch test maneuver was used. We found a significant decrease in the rate of incomplete excision of BCC when the stretch test was employed. This reduces the need for reexcision, improves patient recovery, and satisfaction, and helps reduce healthcare costs.

ABSTRACT: Burns are a major health care problem. Early treatment increases survival of intermediate burn zones, thus decreasing morbidity, mortality, surgery, and hospitalization. Previously, aspirin was shown to improve burn perfusion and increase failing flap survival. Owing to similarities between failing flaps and intermediate burn zones, we conducted this study to evaluate the effect of aspirin on intermediate burn zone survival. An intermediate burn was created in 30 rats randomly divided into three experimental groups: pre- and postburn aspirin groups and a control group. Final burn survival was evaluated on day 7. No statistical difference was observed between the test and control groups. Both aspirin regimens failed to improve intermediate burn survival. Presumably, administration of aspirin could not prevent the noxious tissue events of burn injury that cause cell death. Possibly, different dosages or modes of administering aspirin could have a beneficial effect on burn wound survival.

ABSTRACT: Tissue biopsy loss can have devastating clinical and legal consequences. To evaluate the incidence and cause of tissue biopsy loss. The study followed biopsy specimens taken by one plastic surgeon in an outpatient clinic between October 2001 and April 2005. Four thousand two hundred minor surgical procedures were performed, and 4,400 biopsy specimens were sent to pathology. In case of specimen loss, a formal investigation was performed. Five specimens were reported as lost during the period. Two were retrieved, two were lost probably because of failure to insert the pathology specimen into the container, and one was lost in the pathology laboratory during processing. Overall incidence of specimen loss was 1 in 1,466 (0.068%). In this study, we identified the critical point of specimen loss to be noninsertion of the specimen into the container by medical staff. To prevent future errors at this critical point, strict guidelines such as immediate insertion of the specimen into the container and signing on the container confirming that the specimen is in the correct labeled container at the end of the procedure are recommended.
Article: Lack of Complications in Skin Surgery of Patients Receiving Clopidogrel as Compared with Patients Taking Aspirin, Warfarin, and Controls[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clopidogrel, a new antiplatelet agent that irreversibly inhibits platelet aggregation, is widely used today. This prospective work was conducted to evaluate the safety of performing skin surgery on patients taking clopidogrel. Patients undergoing surgery for excision of skin or subcutaneous lesions under local anesthesia taking clopidogrel were the study group. The control group comprised 2073 historical patients who had undergone a similar procedure. Data collected included: age, sex, past medical history, medications, and late complications. Follow-up was done at 1 to 2 weeks and 3 to 6 months. There were 32 patients on clopidogrel, having 38 lesions removed. Of these, seven patients were on aspirin and clopidogrel combined. The groups taking clopidogrel, aspirin, and warfarin had significantly more males, were older, and had significantly more comorbid medical conditions. There was no significant difference in the incidence of any of the complications in any of the groups. This study shows that patients taking clopidogrel before skin surgery, though older and with more associated medical conditions, do not experience a greater rate of complications. We conclude that patients undergoing minor excisional cutaneous surgery should continue taking clopidogrel because there is no apparent risk for increased complications when good meticulous surgical techniques are used.

ABSTRACT: Recombinant human growth hormone, a very potent anabolic hormone, plays a significant role in growth regulation, bone metabolism, and wound healing. This study evaluates its effect on random flap survival. Rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. A dorsal random flap, cephalically based, was used. One group received 5 mg/kg subcutaneous injection of recombinant human growth hormone 1 hour before surgery and a repeat dosage every 24 hours for 1 week. The others served as controls. At the end of 1 week, average weight and flap survival was evaluated. There was no difference in flap survival between the groups. Treated rats had gained significantly more weight. Recombinant human growth hormone had no beneficial effect on flap survival. The lack of a deleterious effect of the hormone on random flap survival and its significant effect on rat weight and well being supports its safe use during flap surgery.

ABSTRACT: Due to the absence of accurate tools and appropriate photographic material there is a paucity of objective studies on facial aging in the modern literature. To measure changes in two elements of the face: brow ptosis and cheek mass migration, using an objective tool that we developed which we then used to evaluate facial aging in two subjects studying serial professional photographs over a 25 year period. We studied the photographic atlas of the "Brown Sisters," a record of the yearly group photograph of four sisters taken by the photographer Nicolas Nixon. For technical reasons only two of the sisters fulfilled the criteria we set for the study. We used the interpupillary distance of each photograph studied to standardize the brow height and cheek mass distance from the interpupillary line. We observed progressive medial brow descent occurring at about the age of 30, with apparent stabilization thereafter. In contrast, there was a continuous process of lateral brow descent through the years. A process of gradual cheek mass descent was noted in the second half of the third decade. Our results indicate that the dynamic brow changes start in the second half of the third decade, with more significant lateral brow descent than medial brow descent. The cheek mass reflective point moves in an inferior-lateral direction. The tool we developed can be used to follow aging changes and postoperative results, thereby helping the surgeon achieve true rejuvenation surgery.

ABSTRACT: Aspirin and heparin are commonly given to patients undergoing microvascular procedures to increase flap survival and patency, yet there is scant information concerning the effect these flaps have on nonmicrovascular flaps. The objective was to obtain baseline values concerning the effect of aspirin and heparin on the viability of standardized flap tissues. One hundred rats were divided into five groups receiving high-dose aspirin, low-dose aspirin, high-dose aspirin in combination with heparin, and heparin alone and the final group were controls. The viability of the tissue was measured at 1 week by fluorescein fluorescence. There was significant improvement in flap survival in the high-dose aspirin and high-dose aspirin combination groups. It appears that high-dose aspirin increases survival of ischemic flap tissue irrespective of the presence of microvascular anastomosis and may be of clinical benefit in all flap surgery. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.

ABSTRACT: Hypospadias has been associated with synchronous congenital anomalies, especially in the urogenital system, and routine screening of patients with hypospadias has been advocated. In recent years, ultrasound (US) has replaced intravenous pyelography (IVP) as the primary screening test for urological deformities, yet there has never been a study of the relative diagnostic efficacy of the two tests in these patients. In this study, we assessed the incidence of urogenital and extraurogenital congenital anomalies in our hypospadias patients that were noted during physical examination and/or laboratory and imaging screening, and evaluated the efficacy of our changing routine screening protocols. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the charts of all hypospadias patients seen at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center. One hundred and sixty-three hypospadias patients fulfilled the documentation criteria we set for this study. We found a high incidence of urogenital and extraurogenital anomalies associated with hypospadias and noted a previously unreported increased incidence of various forms of facial dysmorphism. Additionally, we noted that the accepted concept that US or IVP alone were satisfactory screening tools for asymptomatic low-grade hypospadias patients is probably incorrect. Based on our findings, we recommend that initial screening of all asymptomatic hypospadias patients include US, cystogram, urinalysis, and urine culture.

ABSTRACT: Hyaluronic acid is a common component of the extracellular matrix, has many medical applications, and is widely used as a soft tissue filler in patients who simultaneously or eventually undergo cosmetic procedures to the areas treated. The objective was to study the effect of hyaluronic acid on wound healing and viability of random-pattern flaps in rats. Twenty-six male rats were randomly divided into two groups. A cephalically based random dorsal flap was used-14 rats received hyaluronic acid to the bed of the flap immediately after surgery; 12 served as controls. After 1 week, flap survival was evaluated by fluorescein fluorescence. A t-test statistical analysis of survival relationships was performed. Flap viability in hyaluronic acid-treated rats was slightly better than in controls (average flap length survival 46.7 and 40.6 mm, respectively; p<.2). Although hyaluronic acid had a slight beneficial effect on flap viability, no significant improvement in flap survival was shown. The lack of any deleterious effect of hyaluronic acid on relatively ischemic tissues is further evidence of its harmless effect during surgical intervention. Further studies should be performed to clarify the potential benefit of hyaluronic acid on random flaps. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.

ABSTRACT: Minor surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia are the most common surgical procedures routinely carried out in every plastic surgical practice. The objective was to evaluate the prevalence of immediate local and systemic complications of such procedures. Records of 2,600 procedures performed under local anesthesia on 2,431 patients between November 2001 and May 2004 were reviewed. Local anesthetic complications and all surgical-related complications were recorded. Procedure-related complications were 51 presyncope (1.9%), 4 true syncope (0.16%), 2 minor burns (0.08%), and 1 facial laceration (0.04%). True allergic reaction to lidocaine is extremely rare and none was noted in our study. Most patients who claimed that they had suffered from such a reaction were probably experiencing symptoms related to intravenous injection administration, a reaction to the added vasoconstrictor (adrenaline), or a vasovagal reaction, which is a common trait among young adults.

ABSTRACT: Skin tumors are the most common malignancies in the western population, with surgical excision as the definitive treatment. The author's objectives were to estimate the precision of clinical diagnosis of skin tumors by a plastic surgeon in a community clinic. The study includes clinical and histological data of patients operated on solely by one plastic surgeon, between November 2001 to July 2003. The sensitivity and positive predictive value were measured and compared to the literature. The study included 1640 patients. Out of 1806 excised skin lesions, 17.4% were malignancies. Basal cell carcinoma was the most common tumor, followed by squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. Sensitivity for skin malignancy was 94%, and 76.5% for specific skin malignancy. Positive predictable value for any malignancy was 69.4%, and 72% for the basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin malignancy. Clinical examination is the main diagnostic tool for the plastic surgeon and dermatologist in the evaluation of skin lesions. Surgical excision is considered when clinical diagnosis is not productive or when malignancy is suspected. For most malignancies, diagnostic excision is therapeutic as well. Positive predictable value is a prospective index estimating the clinical diagnostic skills of the clinician. In our opinion, new technologies such as dermatoscopy should be used more often in the evaluation of skin lesions.
Article: Lack of complications in minor skin lesion excisions in patients taking aspirin or warfarin products[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many patients undergoing surgical procedures take medications that influence the coagulation system. It is common practice to discontinue the use of aspirin and warfarin products 7 to 10 days before any major surgical procedure. However, there is some controversy as to whether these medications should be discontinued for minor dermatological procedures. Our aim was to study the incidence of complications in patients receiving aspirin or warfarin and undergoing minor dermatological procedures. Two thousand three hundred twenty-six patients, operated on by a single surgeon, were studied for complications. Warfarin was used by 28 patients, 228 took aspirin, and the remainder took neither. There was no difference in the complication rate among the three groups as long as the surgeon diligently obtained hemostasis. It appears that patients taking aspirin or warfarin do not need to discontinue these medications before minor dermatological procedures.
Article: Protective effect of human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (hr-cuznsod) on intermediate burn survival in rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives. Superoxide dismutase, acting as a scavenger of oxygen free radicals, has shown mixed results in increasing survival from burn wounds. We previously demonstrated that human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase could increase the survival of failing ischaemic flaps in a rat model. Because of the similar pathophysiology of tissue ischaemia in flaps and intermediate zone burns, we conducted a later study employing two groups of rats with standardized intermediate burns, to ascertain whether or not human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase could increase intermediate burn zone survival in rats. The results showed that post-burn human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase failed to improve intermediate burn zone survival. We decided to undertake a new study to ascertain whether there was a protective effect of human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase in intermediate burns. Methods. This controlled study employed two groups of rats, one of which received prophylactic treatment with human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase before the induction of standardized intermediate burns. Results. The results showed that pre-burn human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase also failed to improve intermediate burn zone survival. Conclusions. Further studies are needed to fully understand the effect of oxygen free radicals in burn wound pathophysiology and to determine whether human recombinant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase has a place in the clinical management of burns.

Thread: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West

NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
NFL Nation: 4 Downs -- NFC West
May, 29, 2014
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
By almost everyone's estimation, the rough and rugged NFC West was the best division in the NFL in 2013. It had the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, two teams in the NFC Championship Game (Seattle and the San Francisco *****) and another 10-game winner in the Arizona Cardinals. The St. Louis Rams were 7-9 but likely would have had a winning season in any other division.
And now? Other than adding Godzilla and three superheroes to the four teams, they could not get much better. It looks like the big boys on the NFC block will remain out west.
Most experts believe the Rams had one of the best drafts in the NFL, adding Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson and Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, giving St. Louis four first-round picks on what is arguably the best defensive line in football.
The ***** had 12 draft picks, including seven in the first four rounds, and made a trade during the draft for talented Buffalo receiver Stevie Johnson.
The Cardinals signed gigantic left tackle Jared Veldheer and blazing kick returner Ted Ginn in free agency. They also added a vicious hitter, Washington State safety Deone Bucannon, with their first draft pick.
As always happens with Super Bowl champs, the Seahawks lost a few key players to free agency, but they kept the man they really wanted to keep in defensive end Michael Bennett and locked up "Legion of Boom" stars Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman to long-term deals.
Believe it or not, the best division in the NFL just got better.
First Down
As usual, the Seahawks drafted some players other teams would have taken later, if at all. Should people question their choices, or have they earned the benefit of the doubt?
Terry Blount: Have we learned nothing from the past? Questioning Seattle's draft strategy, along with undrafted signees, now seems a little foolish. Shall I name a few who stand out that other teams passed up or the experts questioned? Sherman, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Malcolm Smith, for starters. The Seahawks bring in players with specific traits -- unusual athleticism, driving competitiveness and obvious intelligence. Where those players rank on another team's draft board means nothing to them. And at first glance from rookie camp, they found some winners in receivers Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood, along with defensive end Cassius Marsh.
Nick Wagoner: At this point, it's hard to argue with the results the Seahawks are getting from the players they draft. It is interesting that it seems like the first-round picks (such as James Carpenter and Bruce Irvin) are the ones who seem to struggle most relative to draft position. But the thing Seattle does so well is find players who fit the confines of who they want to be on both sides of the ball. Then they develop them and have them ready to go. It is why they never seem to miss a beat when injuries hit or a player is suspended. The results speak for themselves.
Josh Weinfuss: A little leeway should be given to the Seahawks because, first, they are the reigning NFL champions, and second, their personnel department has been able to piece together a pretty good roster with players who were not highly rated. With that being said, good will should only go so far. Sometimes a general manager and coach think they have the secret recipe and get cocky about their ability to find talent. When that happens, bad decisions are made. Obviously, the Seahawks have a reputation for picking good players, but they won't be right every time. Every team has an off draft and picks who don't pan out. It is also too early for us to know if some of their "rogue" picks will do anything. Their picks should definitely be questioned until they have a chance to show us their stuff.
Bill Williamson: The glue to the Seahawks is general manager John Schneider. Yes, coach Pete Carroll is a tremendous fit for the franchise and is a big part of the team's success. But Schneider is the architect of this franchise. He built this roster. There is little doubting the way he has drafted. Look at the core of the team -- they were all great value choices by Schneider. The tie goes to Schneider. You can doubt him if you choose, but it would be a lousy idea. Expect these Seattle rookies to develop into players. Schneider always wins.
Second Down
Do the additions of Johnson and Carlos Hyde give the ***** the most dangerous offense in the division?
Blount: Both players will help, but the real key for the ***** is quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Having enough weapons wasn't really the problem. Using them effectively on a consistent basis and cutting down on mistakes is the issue. Kaepernick's extraordinary talent is unquestioned. But can he be the same type of team leader that Wilson is and make the big play in the most difficult moments? He couldn't do it last year in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game. If he shows he can do that consistently when the big game is on the line, watch out.
Wagoner: Well, the competition for that crown isn't exactly daunting in a division known mostly for grinding it out offensively and dominating defensively. But the ***** probably do have the most dangerous offense in the division. I don't personally think Johnson or Hyde will be a major difference-maker right away, but they don't have to be. Putting Johnson with a healthy Michael Crabtree at receiver and tight end Vernon Davis should allow Johnson to operate free of the pressure of being a No. 1 wideout. Hyde can learn from Frank Gore before taking over the reins. In terms of top-to-bottom talent across the roster, yes, the ***** look to have the most dangerous offense in the NFC West.
Weinfuss: It is certainly looking like the ***** have one of the most dangerous offenses in the division, if not the most dangerous. San Francisco has the right pieces at every position, from quarterback to running back to wide receiver to tight end. But the first question that came to mind when going through San Francisco's offensive depth chart is this: Will one football be enough to go around? This might turn into a case of the ***** being better on paper than they are on the field, which has happened many times throughout the NFL. The Cardinals bolstered their skill positions during the offseason, giving themselves a lot of talent at wide receiver and tight end to complement two young running backs and a veteran quarterback who finds ways to win. A team can have all the ammunition in the world, but if the coach doesn't know how to use it, it will be stockpiled for naught.
Williamson: I think so. There is nothing missing from this offense. We saw how dynamic it can be when Crabtree returned from a torn Achilles last December. Put Crabtree, the clutch Anquan Boldin and Johnson together and that is a great veteran group of receivers. Someone is always going to be open. Rookie Bruce Ellington was added to give the ***** the ability to take the top off of defenses, an aspect they didn't possess last season. We didn't even mention Davis at tight end. Really, how is this offense going to be stopped? Kaepernick looked like a completely different quarterback when Crabtree played last season. Kaepernick with all of these weapons? Oh, and we didn't even mention the bread and butter of the *****' offense -- the running game. Hyde, Gore and a healthy Marcus Lattimore? How do you defend this group?
Third Down
After a narrow miss last season, have the Cardinals made enough of the right moves to get into the playoffs?
Blount: I don't think they needed to make many moves to reach the playoffs. Record-wise, they were a playoff team last season, but a victim of circumstances in the playoff structure. So the real question is can the Cardinals catch Seattle and/or San Francisco? And my answer is yes, especially the *****. Quarterback Carson Palmer will be better after having a full season in the Arizona offense. Bruce Arians might be the most underrated coach in the NFL. The team clearly is on the rise, while San Francisco's offseason turmoil could come back to bite it.
Wagoner: I like what Arizona did this offseason. The offensive line should be much better with the addition of Veldheer and the return of Jonathan Cooper. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was a nice pickup, and first-round safety Bucannon should be a good complement to the Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu. But it is still going to be difficult for them to make the playoffs. The Seahawks and ***** remain at the top of the heap, and until we see otherwise, it's hard to see how they fall from that perch unless injuries strike. That would still leave one playoff spot for the Cardinals. Three teams from the same division can make the playoffs, and it just happened last season, but I expect Arizona to take a small step back and just miss the cut again.
Weinfuss: The Cardinals have made enough moves to make the playoffs this season. They missed the postseason a year ago by a game, which might have been different if Arizona had been stocked with a better kick returner, left tackle, second cornerback and safety. The Cards addressed those issues in the offseason, which should make them better in 2014. Adding left tackle Veldheer to anchor the offensive line should ease Arians' concerns about Palmer's blind side. One thing Ginn has shown throughout his career is that he can return kicks with the best. But the biggest difference for the Cards will be their improved secondary. Signing talented veteran Cromartie gives the Cardinals two lockdown cornerbacks (along with Patrick Peterson) and drafting Bucannon gave Arizona an instant upgrade against tight ends and big receivers -- which there are plenty of in NFC West.
Williamson: I really like how well the Cardinals are coached. I think Arians is on to something. His players seem to respond to him. So the program will continue to rise under Arians. Also, I love the defense; it is nasty, aggressive and ball-hawking. Add great defense and a well-respected coaching staff and a team is going to win a lot of games. I think the bottom line with the Cardinals is quarterback play. Palmer had his moments last season, but I'm not a big believer in him. I think he will cost the Cardinals at some point. Maybe this is a playoff team, but I think the Cardinals are a couple of steps behind the Seahawks and the *****. The deficit starts at quarterback.
Fourth Down
The Rams decided not to draft help at wide receiver and waited until the sixth round to add a young quarterback. Will their offense score enough to make up ground in the NFC West?
Blount: Sure, it would have helped to add a top receiver, but is there a bigger unknown in the entire division than Sam Bradford? What the Rams, and everyone else, have to find out is whether Bradford is an elite quarterback. Frankly, I have my doubts, but he did play well last season before his injury. Bradford's situation is much different than that of Kaepernick, who is as gifted a player physically as you will ever see. In Bradford's case, it's hard to know how good he really is or can be, because he hasn't had top talent around him. And it doesn't help that he has to play six games against three of the of the best defenses in the NFL. It's time for Bradford to step up, no matter whom he is throwing the ball to each week.
Wagoner: The Rams are clearly hoping they will be able to win games in classic heavyweight slugfests by playing good defense and running the ball. The Rams did put up points against playoff teams like New Orleans and Indianapolis without Bradford, and most of the same cast of characters returns this season. The question is if they can score enough to overcome teams following a similar blueprint within the division? Adding Robinson and running back Tre Mason and having a full season of Rodger Saffold at guard should certainly help the run game. But until one or more of the young receivers proves himself and Bradford can consistently take advantage of play-action opportunities down the field, I don't see the offense being able to do enough to win games without the help of a special-teams or defensive score from week to week. The Rams should be better against division foes than they were a year ago and might be able to push Arizona, but it still seems unlikely it will be enough to overtake Seattle or San Francisco.
Weinfuss: The depth of the NFC West makes this the toughest question of the four. The Rams' additions weren't significant improvements to their offense, but will help. Bradford will come back with a vengeance and try to light up the scoreboard. He will have a talented group of receivers, but can they score enough to close the gap from the bottom of the West? Not sure that can happen. Rookie Robinson will take his lumps and bruises and might not come into his own until the second half of the season, so the Rams have to be hoping it's not too late by then. Points will be at a premium in the West, especially considering how good the three other defenses are, so the Rams will have to be even better than expected to make up ground, and I'm not sure they are ready for that just yet.
Williamson: Points scored? Who needs points with that defense. Man, the Rams' defense is getting silly good. Adding Donald to that defensive front should have been banned. It's simply unfair. The Rams are not going to allow many points this season. So the offense won't have to be overly dynamic. With that said, I am not a big Bradford fan. I don't think he is the answer. Until the Rams upgrade at quarterback, I don't think they will reach their full potential or be able to hang in the division race. But they will dangerous every week because of the defense.

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
Sam needs and deserves a top notch WR. I don't think I've ever seen (recently) a team neglect to help their QB by weaponry as much as we have. The Bills went out and traded for Mike Williams and traded up to grab Sammy Watkins, after drafting Robert Woods and Marqise Goodwin last year. With Luck the Colts gave him an amazing vet in Wayne, great young threat in Hilton, and still went out and acquired former excellent WR in Nicks as well as drafting Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener in the same draft as Luck.
Sure we've tried but not very conventionally. We've taken bad prospects in Austin Pettis and Greg Salas... Over-payed for Tavon Austin who will never be a #1 but is an excellent gadget player, and he has no veteran presence what-so-ever. We actually have spent some picks (Salas, Pettis, Quick, Givens, Austin, Bailey, Kendricks) as well as some FA cash (Cook, Lloyd) and have nothing to show for it. Bradford also still has to "prove" himself. Is there a coincidence here?

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
Sam Bradford needed/needs a lot of things
First, an OC that can make the most of what the Rams roster can do--Schotty isn't getting the job done nor has he; frankly am surprised he still is with the team after 2013--Rams sent there DC down the road for running a lack luster defense
Second, how many seasons has Bradford been with the team? How many top WRs, and OL has the Rams brought in to make the best use of their number draft pick and franchise QB? If the answer is less then 5, there is a problem. The Rams organization got a steal at 60 million for his service because even with what he got he made good use of--as a perspective of value and returns on their investment in Bradford, the team might as well have saved the money and had a revolving door of QBs coming and going. Very soon the Rams are going to have to answer the $100 million question, and if where I in Bradford's shoes, I'd get my $100M or walk and hope on finding a home where there is top talent
As far as WR help goes, where had the Rams acquired one that could get separation and actually catch the ball when thrown to him? Injury prone as D. Amendola was, it still was a mistake the Rams made in letting him go to the Pats. The Rams had a piece to their puzzle that could make plays and in that same short span of an offseason the Rams acquired T. Austin and Cook. Re-think the 2013 season with all three on the field. Its just speculation, but having Cook and Austin might have helped DA stay healthy for the majority of the season since defenses had to pick their poison who to worry about burning them
Fact is improvements just within that last two seasons in the passing game wouldn't have lessened the running games side of the Ram's offense. Key a more versatile offense that Rams defense and there is a serious debate on reaching the playoffs. Lets face the truth of the matter. The Rams 2013 season ended week 7--for the only way the Rams could have made the playoffs is either the Squawks/49whinners imploded and lost enough games for the Rams to sneak within contention...
If its the Rams strategy to win enough games and need to rely on the Cards/49whinner/Squawk losing 6 games or more--its a pathetic strategy at best. Football is a game where you go out and WIN your titles; its better to deserve the fruits of victory, then to just be handed it to you

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
When in comes to QB play bottom line is win loss record for most people. People watching from afar that's all they have to go on. Hawks had the 26th ranked pass offense and Wilson is one of the best QB in the NFL. Until we start wining more games then we lose Sam will not be a good QB period, it's time to win.

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
In my opinion, everyone's jumping the gun on our situation at wide receiver. Our receiving core is filled with young talent that needs experience, and last year the majority of that experience was gained with a back up QB. Who knows how our receiving core would've turned out had Bradford stayed healthy?
Also, I'd like to add that, if our spread-type offense that we implemented at the beginning of last year was effective, the Rams may have felt more obligated to spend a high pick on a potential number one. The OL was a bigger question mark to me, so I'm glad they addressed it.

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
FestusRam/MauiRam I often like reading your guy's posts since more often then not you both add a perspective that gives food for thought
To Answer my earlier ram{blings} on this threat. Sam has been with organization since 2010; its now 2014. As with RamAvenger's good thread that started a firestorm of discussion, we are discussing events of the moment and recent history as well as where the Ram's future of a team is going. Speaking for myself, Bradford is a "bust", not for lack of talent, but a lack development and use--why spend the number one pick of a draft if you don't make the most use out of him (the Rams have had 4 YEARS to patch together something).
Here is where I think we can all agree on with regards to NFL offenses. In general an offense pitfalls are from a game perspective, either not explosive enough should they are 2 scores behind going into the 4th quarter/midway through it or just can't manage the clock and close out a tight game.
So bearing all that in mind, plus what the Rams currently have on the roaster and have not done, can the Rams in 2014 come from behind against either the 49whinners/Squawks/Cards (or just about anyone else for that matter) with what the Rams have for a WR corps and/or passing game? Please keep in mind if 2013 holds true in 2014 for the Whinners/Squawks its been demonstrated that yes those two teams can come from behind.

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
With a likely improved OL, the emergence of Stacy and Cunningham, the addition of Mason, and another year of experience for the young receivers, do you see no hope for Bradford with the Rams?

Re: NFL Nation: 4 Downs--NFC West
Can the Rams come from behind against the Whiners and Squawks? Id say that depends on how far behind we are; we wont really know until we see what weve got in this years draft class, and how much maturation has taken place among the last couple of years draft picks. If our defense can open the season strong, we wont have to make up huge deficiencies. I believe this is possible.
On the offensive side of the ball, small incremental improvements can help us enormously. We can start with reducing dead ball penalties. It is horrible to watch a drive stall because of mental errors. Our receivers dont have to become stars to be effective. They do however need to run the correct routes (especially on hot reads) and then come down with the ball. Watching Sam bounce the ball off the back of Brian Quicks helmet is a memory Id prefer to forget. These are issues that can be corrected/reduced through good coaching, diligent film study and practice reps.
A big part of good coaching is getting through to players how important it is to play smart. Dumb mistakes can easily be the difference between winning and losing. One of my pet peeves is seeing a Ram defender get flagged for lining up in the neutral zone, and subsequently converting an otherwise stalled drive into a freebie first down. A defenders losing his cool and getting flagged for a personal foul after his teammates have successfully stuffed a drive can and will make a coach crazy not to mention us fans. Those sort of mistakes just kill you. The Squawks really got into the Rams heads collectively last year in the 2nd game with them. I hope the Rams remember well.
I dont see Bradford as a bust - yet. I admit to being worried though, given the beatings hes absorbed, coupled with his knee injury/rehab. Will he have confidence in his knee? Will he fall victim to battered quarterback" syndrome?
The early positives should be our improved running game, and the collective maturation of our young receiving corps. Who will step up and who might not, I cant even speculate at this juncture. I will say that IMO we do not have to have a true #1 receiver to win. We need contributions from all of our receivers. Spreading the ball around successfully really helps keep opposing Ds off balance.
Last but not least, we need to have better luck with regard to staying healthy. We are gradually improving our talent and depth, but we arent deep enough to absorb multiple injuries. Some good old fashioned luck in this area would help tremendously.
