Red Sox minor league roundup: Anthony Ranaudo and the trade question; impressive debut for Jose Contreras; Rubby De La Rosa struggles; Henry Ramos raking
|07.20.13 at 10:54 am ET
Technically, Anthony Ranaudo had stayed on his turn of the rotation over the last couple weeks, pitching every fifth day. But, as he made a pair of one-inning stints in showcase games — the Double-A Eastern League All-Star Game and the All-Star Futures Game — he unquestionably was taken out of his normal routine. That may or may not have contributed to his struggles in those two contests (the fastball command that had permitted Ranaudo to overpower the Eastern League wasn't evident), but either way, it was time for Ranaudo to get back to a more normal work schedule.
He did so on Friday, working around seven hits to limit his opponents to two runs through six innings before giving up a solo homer and a double while recording one out before getting pulled in the seventh. He wasn't dominant by any stretch of the imagination, striking out just four while walking three.
It's an interesting time to assess the big right-hander's season. One year ago, he'd been shut down for the year and wasn't a consideration for other teams as the trade deadline approached. This year is different. Ranaudo has reminded people of why he was such a highly regarded prospect during his college career at LSU, holding opponents to a .205 average, forging a 2.87 ERA and striking out just over a batter an inning (98 in 97 1/3 frames).
Of late, he's been inconsistent, alternating dominant Eastern League outings with pedestrian ones while forging a 4.64 ERA in his last seven starts. Still, the overall impression he's made this year has been a positive one that is certain to make him a prominent subject of interest as the trade deadline approaches.
"When I saw him this spring, he looked great in the spring — up to 95, great downhill plane, very good curveball and an improving changeup with a little bit of sink. He's going to have to maintain his delivery and that changeup still needs a little bit of work, but if he can stay healthy, I think he has the profile of definitely being a No. 3 guy, maybe a No. 2 if everything goes right," said one AL scout. "With the way he's throwing now, the angle is huge. The breaking ball is swing and miss. I was a little surprised how tight his spin was. It really has progressed since when I had seen him in high school. Some guys don't make that progression. It was exciting to see. As long as he stays healthy, he should definitely be a main guy in Boston's rotation at some point."
That is, of course, assuming that Ranaudo is not dealt. Given that the Red Sox have considerable depth in the upper levels among their pitching prospects, most conversations between now and July 31 will invoke the names of many of those pitchers, including Ranaudo. That could create an odd sort of limbo for the pitcher, but Ranaudo didn't seem terribly unnerved by the prospect.
"We can't predict what's going to happen as far as a trade," said Ranaudo. "You have to focus on trying to make it up to the big leagues with the Red Sox. That's where we're at right now. All of us believe we have the talent and ability to do it, and we're all having pretty good years. We know that any time, any one of us can get called up. It's something all of us have all put in the work for, we've all prepared for, and it's something we're looking forward to."
PROGRAMMING NOTE: This week's Down on the Farm will explore potential Red Sox trade chips. Guests this week are Keith Law of ESPN and pitching prospect Henry Owens of High-A Salem. Tune in on Sunday at 8:30 am on WEEI.
— Rubby De La Rosa was not sharp on Friday, going only 3 1/3 innings while allowing four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out one. The right-hander struggled with his command and was hit hard throughout his 3 1/3 innings. De La Rosa got himself into jams in both the first and second inning, but escaped unscathed. A walk, single, sac fly and a hit batter in the fourth inning led to the starter being lifted. He threw 80 pitches with only 41 going for strikes.
Over his last three outings, De La Rosa has allowed a total of 13 earned runs in nine innings, and has walked 10 after a string of three starts in which he didn't issue a single free pass. Those 10 walks come in comparison to only seven strikeouts. Opposing hitters are batting .421/.529/.579 against De La Rosa in those three starts. The recent stretch of bad outings has caused De La Rosa's ERA to rise to 3.90 on the season. The starter has fanned 68 batters in 67 innings while issuing 35 walks.
— Signed to a minor league contract earlier in the day, veteran righty Jose Contreras made his debut in the Red Sox system, throwing a scoreless inning and two-thirds, allowing a hit and walk and striking out three. The 41-year-old was released by the Pirates earlier in the season after posting a 9.00 ERA in five innings and seven appearances.
— Will Middlebrooks, who has been mired in a bit of a slump as of late, broke out of it with a big game on Friday, going 3-for-5 with a double (his second since returning to Pawtucket) and two RBI, bringing his total to 19 in 20 games with Pawtucket. With the three-hit day, Middlebrooks managed to raise his slash line from .231/.277/.436 to .253/.295/.458 in his second stint with the PawSox.
— Catcher Dan Butler hit his seventh home run of the season, a three-run shot to left field in the second inning. Butler finished the day going 2-for-3, adding a single and two walks. Butler also drove in a season-high four runs. Butler had been struggling since his last multi-hit game, batting .150/.320/.200 with a doubles and a RBI in his last seven games. On the year, the 26-year-old, who is on the Red Sox 40-man roster, is batting .243/.353/.422, walking 29 times with 42 strikeouts through 56 games.
— Stephen Drew, in his second rehab game with Portland, went 1-for-3 while batting leadoff and playing five innings at shortstop.
— Garin Cecchini went 0-for-4, just the second time since his promotion to Double-A Portland that he's failed to reach base. In his last seven games, he's just 4-for-27 with a .148/.258/.333 line, though with four walks and six strikeouts, suggesting that he's still commanding the strike zone. while hitting .326/.434/.494.
— Right-hander Noe Ramirez threw 2 2/3 shutout innings, allowing just one hit, walking no one while punching out four. In his last four appearances, he's allowed three runs in 10 2/3 innings with 13 strikeouts and no walks.
— Henry Ramos continues to amass strong plate appearances, going 1-for-3 with two walks and his 10th steal of the year on Friday. The 21-year-old is walking in 11 percent of plate appearances, hitting for average (.279), getting on base (.359 OBP) and showing some pop (.455 with 11 homers and 30 extra-base hits). More to the point, he's now been one of the better players in the Carolina League for some time. Since June 3, he ranks among Carolina League leaders in average (.333, 6th), OBP (.402, 7th), slugging (.577, 4th) and OPS (.979, 4th). He's young enough that both his approach and his performance merit notice.
— Left fielder Keury De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a homer. His sixth homer of the year ended an 11-game stretch without an extra-base hit. The 21-year-old hasn't reached a spectacular plateau like the 20/20 season he posted last year, but he's nonetheless more than holding his own at a level where he's a bit below the league average for position players, hitting .288/.324/.429 with six homers, 37 extra-base hits and 10 steals in 94 games.
— Right-hander Luis Diaz keeps dealing. The 21-year-old fired seven shutout innings, his third start in his last four turns in which he logged seven innings. In his last five starts, he's been outstanding, going 4-0 with a 0.56 ERA while holding opponents to a .156/.191/.211 line, punching out 30 and walking just five in 32 1/3 innings while showing a fastball that has bumped 95.
— Shortstop Jose Vinicio went 2-for-4 with a steal, his second straight multi-hit game with a stolen base. He's now 10-for-10 in stolen base attempts since the start of June (and 7-for-7 in 14 games this month), showing signs of the dynamic middle-of-the-field skill set that made him an intriguing prospect with his age 18 performance in Greenville last year.
— Starter Daniel McGrath, making his first start for the Spinners after being promoted from the Gulf Coast League, threw six solid innings in his debut, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four. It was smooth sailing for McGrath through the first five innings, but he gave up a two-run home run in the sixth. McGrath, an Australia native signed as an international free agent in January, was dominant in his four GCL starts, allowing only three earned runs and eight hits while striking out 30 batters in 20 innings. The left-hander turned 19 on July 7.
— Cleuluis Rondon went 2-for-4 with his third double of the season. The second baseman has been on a tear recently, hitting .400/.423/.480 in his last seven games. The 19-year-old is enjoying his best professional season to date, hitting .273/.326/.364 with 10 RBI in 26 games with the Spinners.
— Outfielder Jose Colorado was also promoted from the GCL, and enjoyed a successful first game with the Spinners this season, hitting a solo home run, his first of the season. Colorado has split time between three teams this year, beginning the season with Greenville. He's struggled between the three clubs, batting .177/.268/.182 through 20 games.
— Right-hander Willie Ethington, 19, allowed just one unearned run on four hits and a walk while striking out three in five innings. He has 16 strikeouts and just two walks in 18 innings spanning five outings in the GCL.
— Outfielder Bryan Hudson once again found his way on base multiple times, going 1-for-3 with a walk. The 15th-rounder is hitting .313/.452/.417 with 13 walks and 17 strikeouts in 18 games.
— Left-hander Luis Ramos, an 18-year-old from Panama, threw five shutout innings, permitting just three hits, walking none and punching out five. In eight starts spanning 37 innings, he has a 1.95 ERA, 23 strikeouts and just two walks.
— Third baseman Victor Acosta went 2-for-4 with a double while plating a pair of runs. The 17-year-old's 24 RBI lead the DSL Sox and are tied for 14th in the league.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) is scheduled to announce its Q1 earnings on April 18. The stock price has consolidated in the last three months on a moderately stronger fourth quarter and a general upbeat U.S. economic recovery. Although the company's long-term fundamentals look solid, this quarter could be a dampener for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, margins will remain under pressure since the company in January warned that soaring food costs were eating up its margins and price increases will only take effect starting in the second quarter. Food, beverage and packaging costs accounted for 33.5% of its sales in the fourth quarter of 2012, up 1.3% from the previous year's quarter. [1]
The company has been reluctant to pass on rising commodity costs to its customers fearing such a move might drive them away to rival food chains. Chipotle's competition also intensified in 2012 when Taco Bell introduced a new Cantina Bell menu consisting of burritos and burrito bowls at prices lower than Chipotle's.

Secondly, same-store sales growth might again fail to enthuse investors since it is coming on top of a high base. The corresponding figure stood at a whopping 12.7% in the year ago quarter. Also, a menu price hike generally impacts same-store sales positively. Due to a very limited price increase in the trailing twelve months, sales are likely to be tepid.
Chipotle is also experimenting with a new tofu-based item called 'Sofritas' at seven of its restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. The unusually named item has created a buzz and will eventually be extended to its restaurants nationwide. New menu items often lead to a jump in footfalls which can lead to higher sales. However, as already mentioned, they're only present at a few locations currently and therefore the impact on overall sales this quarter, if any, will be negligible.
In short, this quarter could disappoint. However, the second quarter should be much better because:
(a) Menu price increases are likely to boost same-store sales.
(b) The rollout of Sofritas on a nationwide basis could have a positive impact on overall sales.
(c) Chipotle will expand its catering services, which contribute to its top-line growth.
We have a price estimate of $342 for Chipotle Mexican Grill, which is about 5% above the current market price.

If you can remember that far back, take your mind back to 1997. Ask yourself if any of these names stand out prior that era in Liverpool FC history – Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, Steve Mcmanaman, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard. In 1997, Roy Evans was the reds manager, with the majority of these boys either just making their way into the first team or starting to show some progress in the reserves, as they were called it in those days. Had these boys not being given their chance, allowed to make mistakes and progressed under the tutorledge of Roy Evans and Gerard Houllier, Liverpool might just not have won their fifth European Cup in 2005.
On Wednesday night, reds fans caught a glimpse of a potential future. At the start of their defence of the League Cup against West Brom, Brendan Rodgers put out an almost youth team. They were marshalled by the experienced Jamie Carragher, a player how has been where these boys are and where they all want to get to. Up until now we had all been impressed by the progress Raheem Sterling was making, a seventeen year old who had been desperate for his first team opportunity and who did not flatter to deceive when it came his way at the start of this season.
Now though, there are a few more names on the list of potential future stars and it is starting to look as though Liverpool may be fortunate enough to have a rich reserve to draw on as the games mount up this season. Suso had already made his bow, impressing against Manchester United at the weekend, Andre Wisdom was another who had demonstrated his potential in the Europa League tie the previous week. Along with those two, it appears Liverpool have a number of others to add to that list.
New signing Samed Yesil last night showed his determination and skill, if not body strength just yet. He has quick feet in and around the box and once he learns how to manage the physically side of the English game he looks like he could be a real danger man up front. Dani Pacheco, a player who looked like he was on the way out of LFC in the summer, appears to be improving with every game and his trickery and aggressive forward play created a number of good opportunities for Liverpool against West Brom.
In Andre Wisdom, Liverpool have developed a real gem, a strong, quick and physical defender. It has today been suggested that he is a potential future England captain. Jamie Carragher will help to manage his expectations after that over indulgence, but he certainly looks like a player who could be at Liverpool for the next fifteen years, with the ability to play anywhere across the defence.
It must be remembered that Liverpool were playing West Brom on Wednesday night, not Manchester United. However, they did suffer a loss there in the opening game of the league season and they did come back from a goal down on Wednesday to secure progress to the next stage. Perhaps the most positive aspect of last night though, was how the players took to the formation and style Brendan Rodgers is trying to adopt at Liverpool. The game was much more open than we have seen in recent years but, as a result, Liverpool also looked much more threatening in front of goal.
The second thing to remember is that Liverpool have seen young players with potential come and go in the past, leaving to a lower division club or to a foreign club and failing to achieve the level we expected of them. This is where Rodgers will come into his own. As he showed at Swansea, he has the ability to turn young men into highly valuable, and consistent, Premier League performers. This is a quality, or focus, we have not seen at Anfield since the days of Roy Evans. Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish all brought players with a reputation to the club, rather than seeking to develop a reputation for those with only potential.
Rodgers again showed his desire to give youth a chance with only ten minutes left. With Liverpool still only drawing and extra time looking like a distinct possibility the reds Manager gambled. Along with Suso, who created the move that won the match, 16 year old Jerome Sinclair made his Liverpool debut. Expecting Sinclair to make an instant impact might have been a little hopeful but he certainly did not look out of place with a couple of incisive runs last night.
So whisper it slowly, keep calm and be patient with them, but Liverpool may just have a golden generation on their hands once more. Robinson, Wisdom, Coates, Suso, Pacheco, Yesil, Sinclair, Sterling look like names we might just be talking about again in fifteen years time. At a cost of £10million for an average player these days, Liverpool might also have had a good reason for keeping a lock on the Anfield wallet during the summer transfer window.

I say Golf Gar :-)
mildpuff on 04/03/15
As my screen name implies I do like the Mild to Mediums unless I'm having a Whiskey. It could be called a Yard Gar, ha-ha. I would call it the Golf Gar with the 7" length and construction. I got a box at auction for right at $2 a stick, just the right price. Don't think I would pay more. Though this one is quite Mild it's very enjoyable if you like them mild as I do. Agree with 8ball917 though If you don't like them mild you will find them lacking in flavor. Even I expected a bit more flavor. Other than that a great cigar if you can get em for a couple of bucks a stick.

it's a yard gar
8ball917 on 02/24/15
Nothing special here. Mild to medium and pretty much one dimensional, but not horrible. The most I'd be willing to spend would be $2 a piece. It's a yard gar, but not a dog rocket. I'd consider it if I smoked 2 to 3 a day, but I think other are more worthy in this price range. The black abyss I recently had blows this away. Construction was great but lowered my scores since flavor should have the biggest impact on score.


text: TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ARMGO Pharma, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative small molecule drugs known as "Rycals™," which act on the ryanodine receptor calcium-release channel (RyR), announced that a study published today in the prestigious scientific journal Cell reveals the underlying role of calcium leak through the RyR as an important contributor to stress-induced cognitive dysfunction. In the published study titled "Role of Leaky Neuronal Ryanodine Receptors in Stress-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction," mice were given an orally available, brain-penetrant Rycal, known as S107, prior to and during a chronic stress protocol. The results of behavioral tests demonstrated that stressed mice have cognitive dysfunction manifested as impaired learning and memory, increased anxiety and reduced spontaneous exploratory activity as compared to untreated control mice. Mice treated with S107 showed significant improvement in all tested measures, including learning and memory, essentially becoming indistinguishable from normal unstressed mice. In addition, direct electrophysiological assessment of the hippocampus showed that stressed mice had impaired neuronal signaling measured by reduced long-term potentiation (LTP), which was significantly improved after treatment with S107. This promising and innovative research was conducted in the laboratory of ARMGO Pharma's founding scientist, Dr. Andrew Marks, Chair and Professor of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The data generated by Dr. Marks demonstrate that orally available and brain-penetrant Rycals drugs may have therapeutic utility for the treatment of stress-induced cognitive dysfunction and a potentially broad variety of learning and memory disorders. There is a well-established link between impaired learning and mental stress, and long-term chronic stress is a major contributor to the development of neuropsychiatric, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases, as well as to cancer. However, there is currently no effective therapy for common disorders characterized by stress-induced cognitive dysfunction, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Have you flushed your water heater lately? This boring but important chore should be done at least once a year to remove sediment that accumulates on the bottom of the tank. That's especially true if you live in a hard-water area. The task is easy to blow off because it's out of sight—but skipping it is costing you a lot. Sediment buildup reduces the heating efficiency of your water heater.
This is what the sediment in your water heater looks like.
One sign of excessive sediment buildup is a popping or rumbling sound coming from your water heater. That's the sound of steam bubbles percolating up through the muck. On a gas water heater, the sediment creates hot spots that can damage the tank and cause premature failure. On an electric water heater, sediment buildup can cause the lower heating element to fail. So flushing offers a payback in lower energy bills and extended heater life.
However, if you've never flushed your water heater, or haven't done it in years, you could be in for a nasty surprise. As soon as you open the drain valve, the sediment will likely clog it and prevent you from closing the valve all the way after it's drained. Then you'll have sediment buildup and a leaking water heater. We'll show you the best way to drain the sediment out of even the most neglected heater and save a $200 service call. You'll need about $40 in plumbing parts from a home center, a garden hose, a wet vacuum, pliers and a pipe wrench.
Glue a 1-1/2-in. PVC x 3/4-in. FIP adapter (A) onto a female PVC trap adapter (B). This allows you to attach your vacuum to 3/4-in. pipe. The barbed fitting (C) connects to 1/2-in. I.D. vinyl tubing.
Not only will an old drain clog up, but you won't be able to suck debris through its small opening. The key is to build a new drain valve with a 3/4-in. full-port brass ball valve with threaded ends, a 3-in. x 3/4-in. galvanized nipple, and a 3/4-in. MIP x G.H. garden hose adapter (one choice is the BrassCraft/Plumbshop No. HU22-12-12TP).
Then build a shop vacuum adapter. If your shop vacuum has a 2-1/2-in. hose, buy a converter to reduce it to 1-1/4-in. (the Shop Vac No. 9068500 is one option). Then assemble a vacuum hose-to-plumbing adapter with a 1-1/4-in. x 1-1/2-in. female PVC trap adapter, a 3/4-in. MIP x 1/2-in. barb fitting, a second 3/4-in. x 3-in. nipple and a 24-in. piece of 1/2-in. I.D. vinyl tubing.
Remove the temperature pressure release valve and screw in the vacuum adapter. Attach the shop vacuum hose and fire up the vacuum.
Shut off the gas or electricity to the water heater and open a hot water faucet and let it run full blast for about 10 minutes to reduce the water temperature in the tank. Then shut off the cold water valve at the top of the tank and attach a garden hose to the existing drain valve and route it to a floor drain. (Use a kitchen colander to catch the sediment so it doesn't clog the floor drain.) Then open a hot water faucet on an upper floor and the water heater drain valve. Let the tank drain until sediment clogs the valve and reduces the flow. Then close the upstairs hot water faucet and water heater drain valve.
Next, you'll remove the clogged drain valve and swap in the new full-port valve. But first, remove the blow-off tube and the temperature pressure release (TPR) valve and apply suction to the tank so you won't get soaked when you yank the old drain valve.
Remove the old valve. If it breaks off, saw the broken portion with a hacksaw blade until you hit metal threads. Then use a hammer and screwdriver to chip out the pieces.
Remove the handle from the ball valve so you can assemble all the 3/4-in. fittings.
Unscrew the old drain valve and install the full-port valve (closed position). Attach one end of the garden hose to the valve and run the other end into a colander and on to the floor drain.
Unfortunately, most water heaters come with crummy drain valves. And once you open them to drain the sediment, the debris clogs the valve, keeping it from sealing. But you can replace the crummy factory drain valve with a full-port ball valve.
While applying suction through the TPR port with a shop vacuum, unscrew and remove the valve by turning the plastic nut behind the knob. If the valve breaks, don't panic. Saw the broken portion with a hacksaw blade until you hit metal threads. Then use a hammer and screwdriver to chip out the pieces.
Remove the ball valve handle after you flush the water heater, especially if the water heater is located where people could walk by it and accidentally bump the handle. The valve could open and release scalding water, causing serious burns. (Twist-tie the handle to the valve so you don't lose it.)
Open the new ball valve and flush the sediment into a bucket. Let the water flow until it runs clear
Remove the full-port valve and suck out the remaining sediment with your shop vacuum adapter and 1/2-inch vinyl tubing.
Remove the vacuum hose from the TPR port and flush the tank. Most of the sediment will flush out through the full-port valve. To remove the rest, open the cold water valve at the top of the tank in short bursts to blast it toward the drain. If you still can't get the last bit out, try vacuuming it using the 1/2-inch vinyl tubing and barbed fitting.
When you're done, close the ball valve and leave it in place. But remove the lever handle to prevent accidental opening. Then reinstall the TPR valve and blow-off tube. Refill the water heater and turn on the gas or electricity, and you'll be back in hot water without all the noise.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a garden hose.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Dog dust may benefit infant immune systems
Microbes from pet-owning houses protected mice against allergy, infection
By Nathan Seppa, 17:03 PM December 16, 2013
Dogs that bring outdoor dust into the house might actually be doing a favor for babies in the home. Research suggests that exposure to doggy dust imparts immune protection to infants. A study of mice shows that the benefits derive from microbes in the dust that enter the intestines and improve the microbial mix, steering the immune system toward fighting disease and away from initiating allergic reactions.
The findings present a microbial twist in the hygiene hypothesis, which argues that a le...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday —Is one allowed these days to breathe a sigh of gratitude when the temperature becomes a little cooler? You may not mind warm weather, but when I find my dress sticking to my back, and I drip on to the letters I am writing, I find it somewhat inconvenient. Therefore, I really am very grateful to find the temperature today quite bearable and even invigorating in the early morning hours.
Last night I went to the inauguration of the new president of the Women's National Press Club, Mrs. Elisabeth May Craig. Our dinner was very good, but care had been taken to have as few items of food which are on the ration list, as possible. Every hotel is having problems with regard to adequate service, and so for the great majority of the guests, the dinner was served buffet style. No one seemed to mind, and on the whole I thought we got through more rapidly than usual.
Mr. Elmer Davis was the speaker of the evening. Both he and I seemed not to be tempted to talk over long. I finished in exactly the ten minutes which were allotted to me. I do not think any special time was allotted Mr. Davis, but he acted as though he had a time schedule too. His remarks were vigorous and to the point. He admonished us not to think that because we had won a few victories, that we had paid the full price of victory as yet. I think he was suggesting that there is no reason why any of us should pat ourselves on the back and feel that we can let up on any of our war activities or restrictions. Above everything else, I think it is our spirits we must watch, for a cheerful spirit makes our acceptance of the new conditions under which we live easy and helpful to others.
This morning a young man came to see me to talk about a high school organization, "The Student Federalist," which has been circulating petitions in favor of a world government after the close of the war. It is a very good thing, I think, that these youngsters are educating themselves in terms of world affairs. That does not mean, however, that I expect them at present to have much effect upon the thinking of those who are actually working out possibilities for the future. The day will come, however, when they will have worked up to positions where they will carry responsibility. Then this background of early study and discussion will be of value to them.

The conservation of this table clock by David Weber (1623/24–1704) is just one of several recent treatments carried out on the timepieces included in the exhibition Precision and Splendor: Clocks and Watches at The Frick Collection. An horologist had restored the movement in 2003, but the casework had not been treated since 2001.
Conservation of this gilt brass masterpiece required removal of the more than sixty pieces that comprise the outer casework. The clock has nine dials that are made of enamel and silver and often include multiple parts. The dials are attached to gilt brass walls that cover the mechanism inside. The silver dial plates are either intricately engraved or have further punch-work and details below the colorful transparent enamel, creating different textures that reflect the light.
The clock is topped with a slender goddess standing upon a winged orb and further adorned with silver flowers, lion heads, floral mounts, cherubs, and winged goddesses.
The silver components had darkened over time, developing a light brown to black tarnish that was particularly disfiguring to the beautiful basse-taille enamel dials. The contrast between the white of the silver and the transparent colored enamels is essential to a proper understanding of the scenes, which, like the detail of the bear hunt in the video, were transformed after treatment.
The silver was polished using precipitated calcium carbonate. Care was taken during the polishing to preserve the dark lines within the etched plates of the dials. When it was possible, elements were coated with a cellulose nitrate lacquer in order to prevent future tarnishing. Where the enamel had begun to deteriorate, vinyl erasers were used (instead of polishing paste) to remove the tarnish on the silver. This minimized contact with water and solvents in areas of unstable glass. Old discolored restorations on the enamels were also reduced or removed. The gilt surfaces were dusted, then cleaned with a mixture of ethanol and water using cotton swabs.
After treatment, the clock was reassembled and displayed in a case with silver cloth — a product containing activated carbon that absorbs pollutants from the air — and silica gel to maintain a specific relative humidity within the case.
The Conservation Department would like to thank Conservation Intern Molly McLemore for her assistance in the documentation and treatment of this clock.

Electrical Engineering Researchers Win Top Awards
SEAS doctoral student, Stephanie Tomasulo, and postdoctoral associate, Jordan Lang were among top researchers recognized at the recent IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) in Tampa, Florida. The conference is considered the premier technical conference covering all aspects of PV technology from basic material science to installed system performance with more than 600 posters, 290 oral presentations, and 2,000 attendees.
Stephanie Tomasulo, a fourth year graduate student in Electrical Engineering, received a best student presentation prize for "2.19 eV InGaP solar cells on GaP substrates," her research that seeks to integrate these types of cells into future multi-junction devices that could theoretically lead to 50% efficiency.
Jordan Lang was the recipient of the best poster prize for his research, "GaAsP solar cells on GaP/Si grown by molecular beam epitaxy" that details the production of high performance cells composed of gallium, arsenic, and phosphorus (GaAsP) on a commercially-available silicon-based substrate through a deposition process called molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The result is a cell that, when integrated onto a silicon cell, will offer far superior performance to silicon alone at a hopefully small premium in price.
Both researchers work in the lab of associate professor of electrical engineering, Minjoo Larry Lee.

Update 5:10pm: It appears the 6-year-old boy has been found alive. Reports are he was hiding at home in the garage attic.
And of course, there's already a T-Shirt.
This one is too bizarre to be believed, and may be just as tragic.
Authorities in Colorado are still trying to piece together a strange set of events surrounding a 6-year-old boy in Colorado who appears to have launched himself thousands of feet into the air in a homemade weather balloon.
Reports are that 6-year-old Falcon Heene was launched from his back yard in Fort Collins, Colorado in a homemade weather balloon that was airborne for about two hours. The balloon crashed in a field some distance southeast of Fort Collins.
The cable networks are wall to wall with coverage on this today.
The story is even more bizarre as this family was featured on the show "Wife Swap" recently. The family members are amateur storm chasers. The Denver Post did a feature on the family in 2007.
Witnesses say they saw an object fall from the balloon during the flight. The Denver Post has a photo of something that appears to be falling from the balloon. It is feared the boy may have been inside. The ballon landed in a field near Platteville, Colorado southeast of Fort Collins after a two hour flight.
I'm not making light of this, but this definitely falls under the category of "don't try this at home." The NWS takes great care in launching weather balloons and they do not send people up in the air to collect weather data.
I'll have more on this today as events unfold.

INDIANA: School board evaluating security needs
The Indiana Area School District fought for it, and the school board is wasting no time embracing it.
At a bimonthly meeting Monday, the district school board discussed hiring the Indiana Borough police to patrol the White Township schools, as permitted under a newly enacted state law.
Board member John Uccellini, chairman of the Buildings, Grounds and Transportation Committee, said the panel would soon evaluate the security needs for the district's six schools, then contact Indiana Borough Police Chief William Sutton to possibly negotiate a police service contract.
The new law, introduced last year by state Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, now allows Pennsylvania school districts to negotiate with municipal police departments to patrol schools in nearby municipalities where the state police have primary jurisdiction.
White proposed the law in response to Indiana Area school officials, who complained of being frustrated in their efforts to have Indiana Borough police conduct regular patrols at Indiana Area Senior High School in White Township.
The district sought to step up police presence soon after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Conn.
Any deal with the borough would have to be governed by costs, Uccellini said.
Uccellini said the district is looking to have all six schools, including three in White Township, be covered in a comprehensive police service agreement.
In other business:
• Director Brian Petersen, the chairman of the Academic and Extracurricular Committee, said the high school's successful lacrosse club continues to grow in popularity in the region. The lacrosse team, which is permitted to use the school name in competition under PIAA and WPIAL guidelines, is not a formally sanctioned sport at the high school, but it includes players from the Armstrong School District, Blairsville High School and the Marion Center Area School District under cooperative agreements with those districts.
According to Petersen, the board will soon be asked to approve a fourth agreement to allow a student athlete from Apollo-Ridge High School to play on Indiana's team.
The Indiana lacrosse team has 29 players on its varsity and junior varsity rosters, Petersen said.
• The board also approved Louis Ribar as a senior high band front assistant at an extra-duty, extra-pay salary of $2,366.
Chauncey Ross is the Gazette's fixture at Indiana Area and Homer-Center school board meetings, has been seen with pen and notepad in area police stations and courts, and is something of an Open Records Act and Sunshine Law advocate. He also manages the Gazette's websites and answers your questions about them.

Developmental and evolutionary genomics of plants. The origin and genetic programming of cell types.
List of Publications from Pubmed
The research in my lab focuses on two inter-related questions: How do multi-cellular organisms construct specialized cells and how do the genetic components of specialized cells change over evolutionary scales? The goal is to better understand how gene regulatory networks orchestrate cell maturation, a process that results in a set of highly specialized cell types. Thus, we focus on cellular differentiation, which is one of the key steps in organ formation and development in higher organisms. The approach of the lab combines genomics and molecular genetic tools. For example, we have pioneered a new technique to isolate cell types in plants using high-speed fluidics. From there, RNA from a specific cell type population is applied to microarrays to provide a profile of gene activity at the transcriptional level. Transcriptional profiles of cells can then be used to identify likely cell-specific regulators and infer properties of the genetic circuitry of cellular specification.
Two experimental approaches are being used to address this larger question. The first project is large-scale reverse genetics guided by a detailed map of gene expression in the root and other organs. As a case study in cellular development, we have started to analyze knockouts of genes that are highly enriched in xylem, which are the water-conducting cells of the plant's vascular system. We also use computational approaches to generate testable hypotheses on the targets of transcription factors that control xylem maturation. The second project is creating detailed maps of gene expression in the roots of other plant species, such as rice. This will help us to track changes in gene expression during evolution. We can then ask how genetic networks have changed over time to create new cellular attributes and, occasionally, new cell types.

The Oakland Police Department's Oakland Animal Services and Gang/Drugs Intelligence Task Force served a search warrant on December 9, 2010 in the 500 block of Capistrano Drive for an animal cruelty investigation. The search warrant resulted in the rescue of 33 large-breed dogs, most of whom had been housed in crates stacked on top of one another inside the home. Many of the dogs were in poor condition and were suffering from the effects of long-term neglect and confinement.
As a result of this investigation, the owner of the dogs, Arthey Yancey, was charged with felony animal cruelty.
The number of dogs rescued as a result of this investigation caused the shelter to be filled to capacity. Oakland Animal Services is working on sending some dogs to Oregon and South Dakota. The East Bay SPCA assisted and took three of the rescued dogs into their program.

Alumni Profile
Lonnetta Ragland
Lonnetta came to the IC Program with a background in mass communication and political science, earning her BA from Dillard University. While at SIS, Lonnetta balanced working at Fleishman-Hillard, a PR and communications firm, with a full course load that explored her wide-ranging interests in international communication, development, and global health. She attributes her success to time management and discipline, which enabled Lonnetta to map out weekly schedules that she was able to stick to. Her international experience began with a regional immersion program in France, and she went on to volunteer in Haiti for a health communication program and completed the SIS summer program in South Africa.
Lonnetta worked for Fleishman-Hillard from 2004 to 2010, working her way up from an internship to Managing Supervisor. She left the firm to take on an exciting role at Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business involved in the agriculture sector. In her current position, Lonnetta serves as U.S. and global media relations contact in addition to leading global communications efforts for two of the company's agricultural development initiatives focused in Africa, and supports external relations and stakeholder engagement efforts. In these roles, her duties included developing message strategies, addressing external affairs issues, prepping company leaders and speech writing, and integrating media technology into the company's internal and external communication strategies.
Looking back at her time in the IC Program, Lonnetta regards it as a perfect fit. Here she could blend her diverse interests into a cohesive program that was firmly rooted in international communication but expansive enough to allow her to branch into related subjects. Working now in the private sector for an agriculture firm, Lonnetta applies the theories and frameworks she studied at SIS to complex challenges related to agricultural development.
For example, she addresses the question of how do you get small farmers to start the planning now for the future food security demands? Lonnetta argues that you need to spread awareness of the problem and the wide array of impacts food insecurity has on societies. The ability to impact behavior today requires knowing the cultures and sub-cultures of your target audiences, framing your message appropriately based on that knowledge and using effective technologies to deliver the services.
When asked about what advice she would give current students and soon-to-be graduates, Lonnetta offers this strategy. Pinpoint some of the top organizations in the field that you are interested in working and insert yourself there. That might mean attending events where it is possible to rub elbows with practitioners in that field, taking advantage of DC to conduct informational interviews, and reaching out to those organizations to show your interest. And, she adds, be amenable to "no"; when you hear it, just move on to the next person or organization on your list.
Lonnetta's unique blend of international and domestic experience, as well as the skills and perspectives she gained at SIS have launched her career. Her talents and demonstrated ability to implement the skills she learned in the class room make Lonnetta a success in the burgeoning field of food security and international communication.

We've put together a follow up article about how to design and execute a gorgeous candy table for your wedding or bridal shower. Taking some cues from our previous article (Candy Buffet Table 101), we put together a delicious spread of sweets and documented the process step by step! Here is a sweet snapshot of the finished product:
So where to start?
Before you begin working out the logistics of the candy table, think about how you want to present it, and what kind of vibe you want to give off. If your wedding is elegant with classic style, you may want a spread that is visually impressive, or you may want to go for a monochromatic look that will complement your color palette. If you just want something fun, light-hearted and focused on the tasty treats, a variety of colors and flavors can bring some candy shop nostalgia to your night.
Either way, consider your wedding color scheme and what kind of look and feel would play well with where the table will be. In honor of the lush, warm weather, we went with colors that reminded us of sunny spring days -- whites, peaches, yellows and pinks. We wanted to keep the table bright yet still soft and delicate, so we made sure to maintain that theme in all our choices.
Selecting the Sweets
With a holistic goal in mind, it's time for the fun part -- picking the candy! The candy you choose and how they will be displayed go hand in hand. Typical candy tables attempt to recreate the endless rows of jars in a candy shop, and these can help produce some stunning displays. However, it takes a lot of candy to fill those jars! Although vast amounts of white gumballs may look impressive, consider how much will actually be eaten. It's unlikely you'll find brides that are willing to buy used and opened leftover candy, so unless you prepare for a morning after candy fest in place of the usual brunch, plan to buy amounts that your guests can actually eat.
For our table, we chose sweets that would fit in with our color scheme but were still tasty and more than just for looks. We mixed some specialty British hard candy from Fiona's Sweet Shoppe with handmade chocolate truffles to elevate the table's presence and add some sophistication. By using normal candy bars purchased at a local grocery store, we added a personalized touch with customized wrappers in various patterns matching the color scheme. This can easily be done with some basic computer skills, or by collaborating with your invitations vendor to complement your already established wedding graphics.
Don't be afraid to think outside the candy box! Thin cookie sticks dipped in white chocolate added a vertical component to our arrangement, and could be found at a local Chinese grocery store. We also used some homemade, tiny little cakes molded into adorable shapes to expand the variety of textures. Delectable kettle corn also served as a great space filler, and was no doubt a favored snack by all. Adding some salted or spiced almonds would also be a nice addition to cut through the sugar and bring some savory to the sweet.
Containers and Things
Once all the candy is taken care of, it's time to think about where it's going to go! Apothecary jars have become the standard, and if you have a large amount of candy, you can surely create a beautiful display with those alone that evokes childhood memories. Simple vases and glassware of various shapes and sizes can be more cost-effective, and more easily found at your local furniture stores, arts and crafts shops, or even thrift and second-hand stores.
Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of serving pieces. For our table, we used a variety of white porcelain, glass and crystal serving ware. From cake stands to flat platters, cubic vases to mini espresso cups, we accumulated a wide variety of containers to diversify the collection. It's good to think big, but small touches of candy here and there can make your table feel fuller. For the guests to access the goods, we also found some inexpensive clear plastic scoops and tongs at a local restaurant supply store to match the glassware.
Presentation and Details
The easiest way to tie in your table with the rest of your wedding is by using consistent centerpieces and flowers. We chose some crisp, white hydrangeas for an elegant touch, and bunched some peach and pink roses together to introduce some bolder colors. Fillers like tea light candles can also set the mood and add a little romance. Labels for each serving piece can be tied with some matching ribbon, and you can even line platters with patterned paper to further embellish with details.
Make sure you know what kind of tablecloth will be used, and what kind of background the table will be standing against, or if it will be free-standing. We chose a formal white floral tablecloth to add texture to the white porcelain serving pieces, and propped the table against a light pink wall for some subtle color contrast to our mostly white spread.
Embrace experimentation and test out various display layouts to play with height and depth. Mixing stacked cake stands with medium jars and trays on top of a flat tablecloth can create very simple and clean lines. However, if you don't have enough tall jars or stackable serving pieces, height can be achieved through other means. You can use boxes or phone books to create height underneath your tablecloth, which will sweep and cascade around the candy. Be careful with this approach though, because having too few containers can leave the table looking sparse and messy with all the draping.
Another simple way to gain height is to leave the tablecloth flat, with the boxes on top. Wrapping a few boxes with some heavy paper might take a bit more time, but it will be well worth the wait when you see the chic result. Choose good quality paper that won't distract the eye away from the center of attention (the candy). Whatever method you choose, make sure your tablecloth is ironed! Creases and wrinkles can ruin otherwise beautiful photos!
Final Touches
Once you have your display set and ready, don't forget about the purpose of the table -- treating your guests! Cute little paper goodie bags can be fun for them to fill and save for later, while small plates provided by your reception venue may be a more eco-friendly option. To keep costs low, you can even consider using simple clear plastic cups, or little white take-out boxes that can be found at just about any wedding favor site. With just some customized stickers or tags, your guests will leave your wedding with some sweet memories.
Although candy tables can truly be a visual delight, don't forget about what's most important: having fun! Your guests will ultimately have a great time eating any kind of sugary treat, no matter how it looks. As long as you stay true to who you are and keep things simple, your candy table will be a sweet and lovely reflection of your special day!

Collaborative learning : towards a solution for novice programmers
Teague, Donna M. & Roe, Paul (2008) Collaborative learning : towards a solution for novice programmers. In Tenth Australasian Computing Education Conference, 22-25 January, Woolongong, NSW.
|Published Version (PDF 92kB)
Students continue to struggle with learning to program, for reasons that we hypothesise are not solely cognitive. This paper reports on the results of a survey indicating that as students progress through a first programming unit, they enjoy it less, find it more difficult than they expected, and have less confidence in being able to successfully complete it. The students also believed that collaborative learning would have a beneficial impact on their learning outcomes and make studying programming more engaging, interactive, and fun. As a precursor to trialling collaborative problem solving and programming in introductory programming units at QUT, collaborative learning and its potential positive effect on the learning outcomes of programming students is investigated.

NAB UPDATE - June 20, 2013
For many, summer affords a season of outdoor refreshment and personal replenishment. God is so good to provide us times to slow our personal paces and find times truly to enjoy Him. As you think of and pray for the ministries of the North American Baptist Conference over the next weeks, here are some items to bring to mind:
- Rob McCleland and Norm Poehlke and their wives are currently traveling for ministry internationally. They are visiting and seeking God's direction regarding NAB's newer works in East Asia with Nick and Iris, and in the far eastern region of Russia with NAB ministry partners there. Rob and Norm will strategize regarding the direction, deepening, and potential expansion of ministry in those areas of the world.
- Tony Dunaway, NAB's Chief Financial Officer, is on a short sabbatical away from the International Office. Having worked at the NAB International Office for nine years and spending a couple of years with NAB on our Cameroon mission field, Tony is taking time to refresh his soul and refocus his vision for ministry. The accounting and financial services of the International Office continue to function normally under the care of NAB's Controller, Betty Buchholz.
- Shan Reed, NAB missionary to Japan, was recently at the International Office, debriefing her latest missionary experiences with Norm Poehlke, Vice Pesident of Ministry Outreach, and the NAB staff. She remains excited and encouraged about what God is doing through NAB in Japan. Shan is visiting her supporting churches in North America over the next few months while on home assignment.
- A number of NAB missionaries are still seeking additional financial support. Gord and Denise Erickson serve in Cameroon as hostel parents for missionary children attending Rain Forest International School. Kristi TenClay is a teacher and mentor for missionary children at the Rain Forest International School in Cameroon. Sarah Loane is a coordinator for Gateway Teams and helps churches engage directly with international partners. Please consider providing for the financial needs of these dedicated NAB missionaries. Go to www.nabconference.org to give.
- Planning for the 2015 Triennial Conference is already underway. Be looking for information coming your way in the next few months so you can save-the-date for this next major gathering of the NAB family.

Date of Stay: August, 2012
Lake Texana State Park has been closed, the property has been acquired by The Lavaca-Navidad River Authority. The LNRA runs Brackenridge Park and Campground and several others such as Brackenridge Main Events Center, Mustang Creek and Camp Mauritz. Lake Texana Park (Across the street from Brackenridge Park) was opened under the name Texana Park and Campground on Labor Day weekend, 2012. The pricing is the same as Brackenridge, $23 for a partial hookup and $25 for a full hookup. Lot's of improvements have been made, the park now has an automated gate system and Wi-Fi hotspots. Lots of work has been done to the park, sewer has been added to some sites, electricity to others, most of the comfort stations have been remodeled and many of the smaller sites have been enlarged to accommodate larger rigs. Online reservations for both Brackenridge Park and Campground & Texana Park and Campground are coming soon (Both parks will share the same website - www.brackenridgepark.com)
Date of Stay: May, 2012
I have been staying at the Brackenridge park all summer. There are lots of nice shaded waterfront spots, I stayed in one shady spot for about a month, but moved to a pull through because my satellite is mounted on the roof of my RV, I get a good signal in the pull through's, they aren't shaded. Other campers here have portable dishes that they point between the trees but I don't have that option unfortunately. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, pretty quiet park, real nice lake if you have a boat or jet ski. I hear the fishing is pretty good but I didn't try, I'm from out of State so I would need a special license. While it is more of a family orientated park, it is very Biker Friendly!

November 2007
BeschreibungJoseph Conrad, born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, (1857-1924) was a Polish-born novelist who spent most of his adult life in Britain. He is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, which is even more notable because he did not learn to speak English well until he was in his 20s. He is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence and Graham Greene. Writing during the apogee of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the British Merchant Navy to create novels and short stories that reflected aspects of a world-wide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul. Amongst his best known works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Under Western Eyes (1911), Victory (1915) and The Rescue (1920).

Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-5. Additionally we are shipping Pappalysin 2 Antibodies (47) and Pappalysin 2 Kits (26) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 4 out of 6 products:
Human PAPPA2 Protein expressed in Human Cells - ABIN2003006
Crosley, Durland, Seethram, MacRae, Gruslin, Christians: First-trimester levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPP-A2) in the maternal circulation are elevated in pregnancies that subsequently develop preeclampsia. in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) 2014
Papp-a2 modulates Bmp and Notch (show NOTCH1 Proteins) signaling by independent mechanisms in zebrafish embryos to control cranial cartilage development and angiogenesis.
Locally-produced Pappa2 in osteoblasts, epiphysis, and metaphysis, is required for normal postnatal bone growth.
Despite a dramatic disruption of the balance between circulating IGF-I (show IGF1 Proteins), IGFBP-3 (show IGFBP3 Proteins) and -5, we found no effects of Pappa2 deletion on glucose metabolism, weight gain or adiposity on a high-fat diet.
Pappa2 deletion had no effect on female reproduction and subtle effects on male fertility.
Pappa2 is responsible for the effects of the previously-identified QTL, demonstrating that natural variation in the Pappa2 gene contributes to variation in postnatal growth in mice
investigation of biological role of PAPP-A2 using knockout mice, heterozygotes, primary fibroblasts: The most striking phenotype of PAPP-A2 KO mice was postnatal growth retardation. PAPP-A2 KO mice were fertile, but exhibited compromised fecundity.
Elevated PAPPA2 levels are a consequence rather than a cause of pregnancy complications.
The refinement of the target region to four genes and the finding that the QTL affects IGFBP-5 (show IGFBP5 Proteins) levels suggest that PAPPA2 may be involved with normal postnatal growth
Pappa2 expression also shows specific localization within the mouse embryo and therefore may play roles in fetal development, independent of its action in the placenta
in situ hybridization (ISH (show ANTXR2 Proteins)) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were employed to examine the spatial and temporal expression of PAPPA2 in the human fetomaternal interface.
PAPP-A2 is differentially expressed in different trophoblast populations and shows strong down regulation in the mid second trimester in chorionic villous samples.
The association between this PAPPA2 single nucleotide polymorphism and developmental dysplasia of the hip was evaluated.
The upregulation of PAPP-A2 observed in preeclampsia at term occurs early in pregnancy, before the symptoms develop.
PAPPA2 may be upregulated in severe pre-eclampsia and, functionally, this may be mediated via increased placental hypoxia known to occur with this pregnancy disorder.
The existence of this assay will enable an assessment of the biomarker potential of PAPP-A2 in pre-eclampsia as well as other clinical conditions.
Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 with developmental dysplasia of the hip
factors previously known to be highly expressed in preeclamptic placentae (PGE2 and TNF-alpha (show TNF Proteins)), contribute to the upregulation of PAPPA2. results are consistent with the hypothesis that PAPPA2 is upregulated as a consequence of placental pathology
Circulating IGFBP-5 (show IGFBP5 Proteins) is proteolyzed by PAPP-A2 during pregnancy, resulting in increased IGF bioavailability, which may have important consequences for the development of the fetus and/or the well-being of the mother.
PAPP-A2 in syncytiotrophoblast cells was dramatically increased in pre-eclampsia. Maternal serum concentrations of PAPP-A2 were also significantly elevated in pre-eclampsia as compared with uncomplicated pregnancy.
Variants in the pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 gene on Bos taurus autosome 16 are associated with daughter calving ease and productive life in Holstein cattle.
Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-5. Shows limited proteolysis toward IGFBP-3.

i had breast reduction surgery 5 days ago and i have dried blood sitting under my steri strips. my doctor showed me how to replace them. i am just wondering if it is too early. i dont want to tug too hard on anything or get and infection by keeping them on.
Should I Replace my Steri Strips if They Have Blood Underneath? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Self replacing steri strips?
If you surgeon "taught" you how to do this than follow his/her instructions. In my opinion I would not allow my own patients to do that.
Remove steri-strips?
Concerns after Breast Reduction?
Always best to check with your own plastic surgeon about concerns after surgery. Make sure there was no misunderstanding about the postoperative instructions.
Online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful advice.
Best wishes; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the breast reduction procedure.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_breastReduction.htm
You might also like...
In our practice we do not want our patients to remove any sterile strips unless recommended by your surgeon. I would follow up with him/her to ask that question.

I snooped in Mom's diary tonight and I found this note from yesterday. I don't know why I get blamed for everything. How do they know it is not my evil twin??
"It was about 430p and the girls came hurrying out of the kitchen. Randy (daddy) asked them what they had been doing in there not expecting as answer of course. I said they probably wanted their dinner. He said he thought he had heard something hit the floor. Well, it had. Somebody was apparently getting impatient waiting for dinner, decided to help herself and had knocked the full food container off the shelf resulting in dog food all over the landing. Given the height of the shelf the most likely candidate, of course, was Niki. Randy got a good laugh out of the whole thing, wasn't so funny the other day when he spilled the dog food though. I did think it amusing myself. Got to put the dog food on the top shelf now that Niki knows she can get it. She'll try it again when we are not in the house or sleeping. :-)"
Will somebody please tell me how to make the letters little again??
