I'm glad he's starting, it's a step in the right direction, but let's face it, his first start is against the Celtics on the second half of a back to back...the sixers were going to lose this game even if Speights and Lou were still healthy. Jrue is going to struggle, Jrue is going to make mistakes, he's got to be nervous and he's still only 19 years old.
The important question is can jordan REALLY develop a rookie, realize that mistakes are learning opportunities, let him play through them, don't bench him but point out what he did wrong and let him try and do better next time. If he starts but then gets pulled before Sam gets his obligatory 2 fouls and doesn't get up again until the beginning of the third, the principle is still the problem, Jordan needs to let Holiday struggle or he's never go to grown
I don't have any confidence that Jordan will allow him to struggle. I think he needs to be solid tonight, solid to the point where Jordan will be exposed as a complete moron if he then goes back to burying the kid on the end of the bench.
Except that if he continues the 'one mistake and your done' concept it just proves that he's a complete moron anyway doesn't it?
Most excited I have been for a game since opening night. Let's hope Rondo is a little lackadaisical on D tonight...
According to Tom Moore, big Willie G will be starting tonight. If its true, its a damn shame
I'm excited to see Jrue get some major minutes for a change. I'd have preferred before yesterday they take all WG's minutes and give them to Jrue but that wasn't happening. From the few times I've seen him play the point he looks a lot better (more comfortable) than when he had to play off guard at UCLA. Probably that is a good thing as otherwise he'd not have slipped to us.
For the Sixers to win tonight I'd say Thad has to put up 30+ and get at least 6 boards. Normally, when Thad scores a lot he's being efficient.
iverson to retire
and has iguodala ever scored more than 35? i thought his career high was like 30.
Brand out tonight as well
This is going to be bad
Well, I am back blogging. I did not expect this to happen this soon. As stated, I was not going to waste my time and get frustrated watching the sixers with Green playing before Jrue. Shockingly, watching CSN, they confirmed Jrue is starting tonight!
I actually have a letter half written with quotes almost ready to send to the coach pleading for him to play Jrue before Bill Green. Hopefully, I can soon delete the letter or put it in deep storage.
I do not care IF the sixers lose as long as Jrue has a decent game. That is all I ask and pray for tonight.
Good put back by Iggy there... Let's defend Rondo Jrue. Smith for THREE off the Jrue pass. Sammy putback next. 9-9.
Damnit Thad. Overhelps on an Allen P and R, Pierce for a wide-open 3.
Even dumber because Perkins was the screener. Let Sam pick up Allen and let Perkins catch the ball far from the hoop.
Let's GO!!!
Jrue with the one handed whip pass, left hand at that!
Iggy off to a 2-4 start with a nice dunk. Sam defends Garnett well twice even though KG hit a really tough fadeaway. Iggy 3-5 with a lefty alley oop pass from Jrue, who has 3 assists in the game now.
I absolutely hate it when Sam goes 1 on 1 against someone. Has like a 5 % chance of something positive happening.
Jrue with a sweet lefty flip over Garnett!!
If Sheed jacks contested threes, small lineup with Thad at the 4 might work out. Big and hopeful 'if' though.
Well they are holding true to form so far, playing up to the competition that is. Really great effort to this point. Fighting for boards and loose balls.
Haha isn't it sad that we're really encouraged with a three point deficit in the 1st quarter?
True, but you have to be considering arguably our top 3 scorers are out. It really isn't that bad.
Big shot by Carney on a drive and kick from Iggy. Down 4 after one, not bad effort.
27-23 Celts after one.
I like when Carney is in the game, if for nothing else but to spread the floor and pose a threat from three. And he can at least play defense unlike Kapono.
Oh man, look at this unit defensively. Green-Kapono-Carney-Thad-Primoz. Nice move by Thad taking Sheed on the dribble.
Primoz with the serious hops for the board! lol....
Kapono for three, up one. Iggy is really playing like an all-star right now. He's pushing at every opportunity and finding guys.
Damn, if we could just secure the defensive board and stop giving them second chances we may be up by quite a bit.
Jrue to Thad for 3 and it's pure. 4-5 from distance for the team. We're up 5 and are getting good minutes from everyone so far, even Willie!
And don't leave out Primoz....LOL
I guess Primoz has replaced Willie in the "even" category. Kapono's cooking early.
Sammy's second there, Smith with 2 and Primoz with 3 as well. Big guy foul trouble is a problem.
Bad gamble by Jrue there leads to a Pierce three. No choice but leave him in tonight though :)
Terrible call by Crawford to give Smith his third. Man do I hate Garnett.
Great defensive possesion by the team to force a Rondo three. Up one at half. Jason Kapono shooting the lights out, Iggy playing a great floor game and shooting 5-9, Thad giving some very encouraging signs defensively by contesting and being smarter, Smith, Willie and Carney contributing. Real nice effort.
Jrue isn't playing great but I still like the way the offense runs when in his hands. He's finding open guys and being allowed to play through mistakes.
I'd like to see Carney get more than 8 minutes though.
Agree with most. Jrue just needs to get more acclimated at the defensive end. And totally agree on Rodney.
Yup, and that comes from consistent playing time. Gotta say that Rondo and the Celtics are a quirky match-up too so that could be tough. Good to see him out there though.
Side note: I love Jrue's two hand chest passes, they are so crisp and placed in a favorable position.
8-0 run, good time-out by Jordan, down 3.
Get on Iggy's back please...
4 on Perk and he has been incredulous at every one. Jrue keeps shooting and knocks one down.
Come on Joey Crawford that was a charge, Thad beat Pierce to the spot.
Wonder why he went to Kapono here instead of Carney when J Smith picked up his fourth?
I don't know, I guess he's just hot (just hit another) and it's easier to play small when Sheed and Garnett are in the game.
Jrue with the dunk!!!
Come on Sam, never turn your back to the ball like that.
Ivey and Green before Carney????? Are you serious?????
Jesus. Royal hits a bomb on his first touch. I should keep talking bad about him.
I like the aggressiveness guys but stop with the fouls and giving them free shots at the stripe.
Things getting chippy with double techs called. I'd get tired of hearing KG's lip too. Just win this damn game and he'll shut up.
Crawford with the ehhh call on Ray Allen on Willie. The refs are getting ready to start calling this tight to get control.
And what do you know, a tech on Sammy right after that.
Willie for 3 out of the PO, this is insane and the C's marching to the line on the other end.
Come on guys, just finish.
I give Thanks a plenty if the Sixers can beat the Celts. And beating them would be all the Giving I would need.
Thad and SammyD got Ts for NOTHING! Sheed elbows SammyD and he gets no T? WTF! I can't believe it.
Ball don't lie!
We're not gonna win a free-throw shooting contest, unless it's a team with 5 Shaqs.
Willie giving you a good Willie game by simply getting hot and making shots. 13 in 7 minutes then KAPONO FOR THREE, we hold three.
Isn't it just sweet to watch when we can actually knock down open jumpers. B/c you can't fast break all night and no matter what offense you run, teams will always pack the lane against us. They packed it in on us last year with more iso and P and R sets.
Another 3 for Wille, 16 in 8 minutes. I'm speechless. The FT line is their saving grace because they've been living there.
And we need to get there (the line) a lot more often b/c this barrage of three's just can't keep up, can it?
I mean they just want to keep us out of the lane. They're doing it pretty succesfully but our shot-making has been excellent. So I guess it might. We need Iggy to take us home here methinks...
Ohhhh, nice cut Willie and pass from Dala.
Another 2 for Willie. We're on a streak when I keep commenting on every bucket, he gives us another one. 85-79 Sixers after three. Let's close these guys out!
Guys, please don't pull another CLE game here in the 4th. Don't let all those jumpers you've been making be fool's gold. In other words, don't start settling - just attack and try to get them in the bonus early.
This team has been saving up several games of jump shooting for this one. I'm amazed everything feels like it's going in.
Come on Royal, don't just stand there and watch the ball. Stay with House.
Ivey, you have one job, don't leave House. That's it. Don't screw it up again.
Pierce getting hot, 3 team fouls on Boston already though/
Alright, 3 team fouls on them......but.....3 on us too.
Thad just hold your pivot foot on those spin moves.
Doc Rivers is going to keep calling those pick-and-pops for the rest of the game. We have to show and get the hell back.
We gotta make Rondo a jump shooter, he's taken 3 shots tonight.
Where is Carney, this is crazy.
Come on Dala, you've been superb so far. Just don't get into force-it mode. Please don't.
Smith 3! D the F up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thad's freaking killing us...
Sheesh, Thad. No touch on three straight gimmies at the rim. Where's the touch? Shit......
We're in the penalty. Don't settle for jumpers. Make them guard you.
And Thad bombs two free throws. WTF!!!!!!!
Good sub by Jordan to bring Jrue in because Willie was hurting us on D. Bring in Carney for Thad, he is killing our chances to win this game.
I usually don't like to say this but, our chances appear to have ran out.
Doesn't look good, but don't give up yet.
Don't worry, I never give up on my boys. But things do look bleak.
Make your FTs Iggy. We gotta get back in this.
Throw it away in the 4th. I should have since it coming.
Man, I jinxed them on that CLE game reference b/c we only have 6 pts so far with half the quarter over. ugh....
Damn, Thad misses 2, Jrue misses one, and Dala misses one from the line.
Alright Thad, big move there.
Just get to the line and get some damn stops. COME ON
House with a killer make on a great defensive possesion.
F me. House with the roll.
Dala draws contact and makes the first and the second. D UP!
Man, Jrue or somebody has to send KG to the line and not give him an open layup.
Really questionable sub by Jordan in there. A cold Sam screws up the P and R and gives up a Garnett layup. Damnit, Jason Smith earned those freakin minutes.
I hated to see J Smith go out there too and had the same concern with Sam on the P and R. J just plays those so aggressively and with much effort.
Sam screws up again letting Garnett cut and get two FTs, which he makes 1. Sigh.
Just get to the line and keep stopping the clock. Please.
Oh, and make them when you get there.
Wow. Iggy to the line to try and cut it to 2! We need both man..
And he delivers. D the F up.
Fuck me. A Thad TO and an AI9 charge. Still only down 2 with 30 left.
Man, I just cringed my face up when Thad ended up with that ball and tried to dribble. And what do you know, he turns it over.
BS call on that Dala charge. The guy sold it more than Dala crashing into him.
MUTHA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..... Rondo makes a friggin jumper. Son of a ............ F me F me F me.........
That's a stomach punch right there.
I just wish Jrue would have closed out a l'il better right there.
Uh on Dala with a 3, but too little to late with only 3 sec left.
That's a stomach punch right there.
omg somethin unfortunate always happens for us.
Iggy gives us a freakin chance! Miraculous. Damn Allen at the line up 1 with 3 secs. Makes both. Down 3 with 3 secs. left and the ball at halfcourt.
jrue has done good on rondo. only 10 pts
Dala you passed it too soon. Kapono was coming open. And the Celts foul Thad which was a smart play when we were down by 3.
Iggy fucked up there. I mean I know Thad made both fouls but Jrue has a wide open three on the other side.
see i would have had thad miss the 2nd
1.8 for us to get a shot off. Unfortunately they are not gonna let us get a 3 off. They will foul again.
Gotta catch and release and pray it's in the act.
i don't know why more teams don't do what boston did there by fouling to prevent a 3pt attempt
How many more pieces of my heart can these guys continue to rip to shreds? How many? They sure do a good job of it. Ugh.........
punk ass rondo had to make that lucky ass shot.........
oh boy, rough night 2nite
i think jrue will be a good sixth man for us if jordan lets him get the minutes.
jrue's not ready to start yet but he's getting there.
On the bright side (or is it really the bright side considering we still don't show up for the mediocre and lower teams), just a hell of an effort.
Down Speights, down EB, down Lou, on the road, arch rival, second night of a back-to-back. Unbelieveable bench scoring and effort. Jrue looking confident and a little more poised and not so deer-in-the-headlights. Dala looking like he took the deserved benching to heart.
But another freaking loss, damn it's tough.
If anyone can DVR the game, go back to the inbounds play with 3.3 left. Boston did the smart thing by fouling but Iggy missed his only chance to get an open 3. The Sixers went with a triangle set with Kapono at the top of the key, Thad on the opposite block and Sammy on the near one. Jrue is camped in the other corner. Thad goes to screen for Kapono and eventually gets the ball, but he was not the correct option for Iggy the way the Celtics defended it. Kapono who runs around Sammy to the near corner essentially takes three guys with him. Daniels picks him up on the switch and Rondo is guarding the pass on the sideline taking the near corner away. THE KEY though is that Kapono takes Ray Allen completely with him as well, which leaves Jrue wide open on the other side of the floor. Jrue correctly funnels up the three point line and Iggy has him right in his sight-line, because he throws it to Thad who is even with Jrue at this point.
How open was Jrue? There was no Celtic within 22 feet of him and the only one who was even in the lane was Allen who had his back turned and may have been farthest away under the hoop. Jrue is visibly upset that he didn't get it because he puts his hands on his head and just stands there. Hats off to the Celtics for fouling, it's just idiotic not to. Still, that was our chance and if Iggy holds onto it for one more second, he may hit Jrue.
Wish I had DVR, but I saw that completely wrong then. I thought as soon as Dala passed it into Thad, Kapono was starting to come open on the sideline. I kind of noticed Jrue (but didn't see his frustration reaction) but was really watching Kapono b/c I knew he was the first option being we needed a three. I thought guys were trying to get back to Thad leaving an opening for a pass to Kapono which is why I said above that Dala passed it too soon. Man, I wish I could see it again. Maybe league pass will replay this game later tonight.
I watched it again. Yeah, Jrue is wide-open. It's tough for Iggy to know it but I think if he looked longer at Kapono he would have realized someone was open.
A pointer for Jrue - when on defense he needs to swivel his head quickly and see where the pick is coming from and the spot it is being set at. He got lost or caught up on the screener multiple times causing scrambling by the other guys once the ball was swung or either there was a gross mismatch with their ball handler being guarded by one of our bigs.
It's a coming. I said in a game thread last week or so - patience, patience.
Yeah he definitely had trouble with a good amount of picks tonight. Love his confidence though...
Sixers continuing their pace to win 25 games for the season...
That being said, fantastic effort tonight, they played very well and honestly down the stretch the only thing that pissed me off was Sam's insertion into the game. I mean they were switching a lot of screens and Smith seemed to know what to do to limit them to at least a tough jumper. Plus Smith shot the ball well and hit a clutch 3 in the fourth.
Willie had some trouble with Rondo in the fourth but Willie was so good offensively and his effort was there. Kapono was fantastic all night and not bad defensively. In hate to single out the refs, but in a three point game, when I felt we received 2 unjust T's (Sam and Thad), that may have cost us two points. We missed at least 4 free throws in the 4th quarter which bit us right in the you know what.
The Rondo shot was a killer but that was fantastic defense and just a very lucky shot. House had a dagger late where he had a BS roll on an excellently defended play.
I just don't get why Rodney gets 0 minutes in the second half. He was plus 6 in the first and made his only shot, a big three.
My guess on Rodney is that he wasn't taking out Dala (46 min) or Thad (40 min) and Kapono was just so hot like you said earlier. I wondered the same thing during the second half but I don't know who he would have taken out to put him in unless he doesn't go to Ivey and Willie when he played those two together.
iguodala is the best passer on the team, & one of the best in the league. he didn't see holiday because he was worried about a 5 second violation.
Not disputing that he's a good passer. He played a pretty darn good floor game (9 assists, although 4 turns) especially considering his personnel being depleted.
Still that has nothing to do with it. He had plenty of time to wait one more beat and make the pass. That pass to Jrue was our only chance to win because the Celtics took care of business down the stretch. It's not like missing a dunk, but it was a missed opportunity, and a possible chance to win. It would have been nice, that's all. Nothing to do with Iggy being a good player, and he gave a pretty damn gutty effort tonight.
Oh, and on the two T's (both unjust) it didn't cost us two points did it? The one on Thad there were no shots b/c it was a double technical on him and KG.
Yeah, you're right. The way I looked at it was that if anyone was going to get a T there, it was completely insane KG. Yeah, only one point then. Still a big deal though because they made it.
Hey guys, I was at the game and will give my observations in the follow-up post. But I was wondering: I didn't have the best view of the Iguodala charge -- what did you think of the call? From where I sat, it looked like Pierce was very close to being in the circle and was also still moving, but I might have been looking with biased eyes ;-). Anyhow, getting a foul called on Pierce in that situation is almost as unlikely as getting a foul called on Bird back in the day ...
yea pierce was still moving

The symptoms are:
The first time I was waiting for a green traffic light when suddenly the car wouldn't go. I looked at the OBC and the trans fail message was there. I pulled out the key and start the car again has if nothing happened. The second time the car did started running, but very very weak, as if it was running in the first gear. Same thing; I pulled over, pull out the key and started the car again as if nothing happened.
I took my 840 to the mechanic to perform a scanning after the OBC showed the message and the diagnosis was:
042($2A) Speed signal n-ab
I got the Speedometer Sensor - Located in differential
Part # : 62 16 8 357 020

Mandel Clinic's Housing Initiative Helps Complete First Phase of Chicago's West Humboldt Park Homes
Closing on the sale of a home easily falls into the category of major life experience. But when you're leading the closing process as a law student working on behalf of two nonprofits and a low-income homebuyer, and that home marks a milestone in the creation of an innovative Chicago housing project, the transaction takes on new meaning.
Charles Woodworth, '11, and Sam Grilli, '11, with supervision from Jeff Leslie, the Paul J. Tierney Director of the Housing Initiative, spent their Winter Quarter closing on the sale of the home at a new community development on Chicago's west side. The sale completes the first phase of West Humboldt Park Homes, an affordable housing development for first-time homebuyers.
The students' work was done as part of the Edwin F. Mandel Legal Aid Clinic's Housing Initiative, which offers free legal services in all aspects of affordable housing development, with a focus on innovative transactions sponsored by community-based organizations on the south and west sides of Chicago.
"The closing that Charles and Sam put together was no ordinary real estate closing," Leslie said. "On top of all the regular documentation that goes into consummating a real estate deal–the deed, title and survey, and so forth–they had to coordinate closing requirements for four different funding sources, including a mortgage lender that was new to the ground lease concept and needed considerable education and reassurance before they would agree to come to the table. They did an excellent job of managing the entire project and making it all come together smoothly."
West Humboldt Park Homes is product of two organizations, the West Humboldt Park Family and Community Development Council and the First Community Land Trust of Chicago, that teamed to build new construction single family homes developed under the City of Chicago's New Homes for Chicago program. That program provides land and homebuyer incentives to facilitate development of homes for purchase by low-income families. As the homes are completed, the First Community Land Trust of Chicago takes title to the land underlying the homes, and enters into a ground lease with the homebuyer containing very long-term resale restrictions to ensure affordability for future buyers.
To make the homes even more affordable, the project leveraged additional subsidies from the Illinois Housing Development Authority, including state donation tax credits that the project used to obtain private donations that underwrote some of the development costs.
The Housing Initiative has provided counsel for the project since 2004. In this case, the clinic students drafted the First Community Land Trust bylaws, its 501(c)(3) application, and its form of the ground lease and resale restrictions, and negotiated and closed on all the governmental, real estate, and financing contracts for the acquisition, development, and sale of the homes. The Housing Initiative's work on behalf of the First Community Land Trust continues, as the organization shifts to new development opportunities to benefit the West Humboldt Park neighborhood and its low-income residents.

The retry_value was a suggestion from a user--he was often getting
error values from the socket code that the socket was unavailable.
It's supposed to be tied to the max_retry attribute, but somehow that
code wasn't committed.
I'm not sure we don't want *both* types of retries. I can see why you
might want a retry down at the bottom--if there's a slight problem it
will quickly try again. The higher-level retry is fine, but it has to
go through a bit more before it does a retry. Of course the
higher-level retry will fix problems if, say Apache is swamped and
the HTTP request is rejected, while the lower-level one can't.
It's obviously open for suggestion. I like the lower-level retry in
there--I think it will help performance on busy servers.

If timeout isn't respected now, then the Connection code needs a very
careful examination. Another bug report found that the connect()
library call did not have any sort of alarm() set to make it timeout.
Granted, it should have been set through other means, but this was a
good suggestion--the alarm will be respected no matter what.
So to reiterate--if it doesn't work now, speak up.

The two investigating magistrates heading a criminal investigation into Golden Dawn have summoned four MPs of the neofascist party to defend themselves on May 5 on charges of setting up a criminal organization.
The four MPs are Eleni Zaroulia, who is the wife of party leader Nikos Michaloliakos, Michalis Arvanitis-Avramis, Dimitris Koukoutsis and Nikos Kouzilos.
Parliament has already voted to lift the four MPs' immunity to prosecution.
Of the party's 16 MPs, 13 face charges of setting up a criminal organization and six of them, including Michaloliakos, are in pre-trial custody.
Parliament is to debate lifting the immunity of the remaining three MPs, in accordance with the magistrates' request, over the coming weeks.

How to prepare myself more?
I have a traumatic experience with my first delivery. I know I shouldn't make a big deal out of it. But the thing is, I am pregnant with my second child. I am happy, of course. Don't get me wrong. But in the end of the day, I couldn't help wondering whether I will have the same experience all over again.
I do plan on joining a lamaze class, which I didn't go the first time. So I think it might help me somewhat.
Any suggestions on what I should do next?

Christmas light: peace, faith, love, hope
Special exhibition of Christmas objects that feature candlelight
1st December 2012 - 10th February 2013
This year's Christmas exhibition is dedicated to the Christmas candle. A burning candle is a sign of hope, of joy and of life. Christ is described as the "light of the world". According to the Christian definition, a burning candle that consumes its wax is a reminder of God's self-giving love. Candles help create a festive atmosphere, and are therefore a must at Christmas.

It is a vast conspiracy that is working tirelessly to build a matriarchy to enslave men.
Some tribes were endogamic, and there matriarchy was the rule, descent being traced through the female line.
MacLennan maintains the existence of matriarchy in promiscuity, but this is inadmissible.
For this is one of the few civilised States—for aught I know it is the only one—in which "matriarchy" still prevails.
At the death of the father his own children were disinherited, in the matriarchy.
In effect, however, women owned the country and women governed it; suddenly the matriarchy existed.
He touched a hundred subjects; he developed a theory of matriarchy.
Descent was matrilinear, and a society known as matriarchy existed, as contrasted to the later patriarchy.
Thrayxite is a matriarchy, something we of Ihelos never suspected.
With the development of civilization we find that adaptation tends to take the form of matriarchy, as in the United States.
A family or society in which authority is held by females, through whom descent and inheritance are traced. More generally, a matriarchy is a society dominated by women. (See also matrilineal, patriarchy, and patrilineal.)

Bradshaw, Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
BRADSHAW, a chapelry, [as of 1781] in the parish and union of Bolton, hundred of Salford, S. division of the county of Lancaster, 2 miles (N. E.) from Bolton; containing 827 inhabitants. The family of Bradshaw were seated here in the 16th century, and of this family was John Bradshaw, who presided at the trial of Charles I., and was subsequently chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. The township is situated on the east bank of the Bradshaw brook, which separates it from Turton and Harwood; and on the road from Bolton to Burnley. It comprises 1380 acres; the surface is undulated, and the scenery picturesque, and enriched with several good plantations: the land is chiefly in pasture. A colliery and a stone-quarry are in operation. The bleach and print works of Messrs. Callender, Bickham, and Company, employ 500 hands; and there are also two cotton-mills at work. Bradshaw Hall, an irregular building embosomed in trees, affords a beautiful specimen of the style of architecture that prevailed in the early part of the seventeenth century; and the arms of the Bradshaws are still to be seen, both in the stained glass of the window, and cut on stone over the hall-door. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £150; patron, the Vicar of Bolton. The chapel was rebuilt in 1847. There is a small Baptist place of worship; and a school-house is let rent-free to a master. President Bradshaw was the son of Henry Bradshaw, and of Catherine, daughter and coheiress of Ralph Winnington, of Offerton. He was baptized at Stockport, December 10th, 1602; married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Marbury, of Marbury, in the county of Chester; and died (without issue) December 16th, 1659, just before the Restoration, thus escaping the fate of other members of the "High Court of Justice" which condemned the unfortunate Charles to the scaffold.

Major funding for world-leading brain and stomach research
Major funding for world-leading brain and stomach research announced
University of Auckland researchers investigating scientifically advanced treatment for children with water on the brain and for people suffering from stomach dysrhythmias have received substantial new funding from the Health Research Council.
University of Auckland researchers investigating scientifically advanced treatment for children with water on the brain and for people suffering from stomach dysrhythmias have received substantial new funding from the Health Research Council.
Professor Simon Malpas and Associate Professor Leo Cheng of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute both receive $1.18 million to develop major new treatment and diagnostic tools for water on the brain (hydrocephalus) and stomach motility disorders.
Professor Malpas and his team of bio-engineers are developing a tiny implant device that can transmit information on the surgically-inserted shunts that are used to drain water from the brain to the stomach. At present, around half of all shunts fail within two years.
The new device wirelessly senses and transmits both pressure and temperature information from inside a person's brain to help monitor the fluid flowing through the shunt. This would reduce stress and radiation exposure for patients because they will not need costly CT or MRI scans.
"This project is probably the most exciting I have been involved with, particularly as it is a device that will be used to treat children and with this new funding, has the potential to go all the way through to clinical trial," Professor Malpas says.
Associate Professor Leo Cheng says the new funding is critical to the world-leading work being done in New Zealand in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic and the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the US. The research concerns the body's naturally-occurring electrical activity that regulates stomach contractions. Dysrhythmias of the stomach are associated with common and significant diseases such as dyspepsia, or indigestion, and gastroparesis which is thought to be closely linked to diabetes. Both conditions are often the result of post-operative complications from stomach surgery.
The new funding for Associate Professor Cheng's research will be used to develop new and innovative recording technologies and integrate them with advanced signalling technology to allow accurate identification of the disorder and better treatment. The new technologies are much less invasive than those currently available.
"While cardiac, or heart, dysrhythmia is fairly well known, this is a similar condition of the stomach but this is an emerging field and is very new and very exciting," Associate Professor Cheng says.

The most studied pyridoacridine alkaloids are the kuanoniamines. So far, only kuanoniamines C and D have been reported from the sponges of the genus

The effect of kuanoniamine A (6) and kuanoniamine C (7) on the
As both kuanoniamine A (6) and kuanoniamine C (7) were found to be potent inhibitors of the MCF-7 cells, we have selected this breast cancer cell line to further characterize the growth inhibitory effect of the two compounds. We first evaluated their capacity to interfere with the biosynthesis of DNA by exposing the exponential growing MCF-7 cells to a range of increasing concentrations of kuanoniamine A (6) and kuanoniamine C (7), below and above their GI50 (0.04 – 86.51 μM and 0.03 – 66.84 μM, respectively) for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h and the DNA synthesis was quantified by thymidine incorporation (
In order to get more insight on the mechanism of kuanoniamine A (6) and kuanoniamine C (7), both compounds were evaluated for their effect on the capacity of MCF-7 cells to reduce MTT (
Kuanoniamine A (6) was shown to be more drastic and more dependent on the exposure time than kuanoniamine C (7). Cell viability was dramatically affected even when treatments with low concentrations of kuanoniamine A (6) and in short periods of time. A decrease of viability to 70% was detected after 6 h of exposure at the lowest concentration studied (0.04 μM) and exposure of 24 h and 48 h were associated with a dramatic falls of the viability. This lost of viability is in accordance with the drastic effect observed in DNA synthesis after these treatments. However the cells whose DNA synthesis was dramatically affected are still viable and capable of reducing MTT, similar to those treated with concentrations of 0.06 μM. On the contrary, kuanoniamine C (7) did not affect the cells so drastically as kuanoniamine A (6) and 70% of the cells remained viable and with a capacity to reduce MTT, even after treatments with concentrations near the GI50 and exposure time of 24 and 48 h.
We have found also that the effect of kuanoniamine A (6) and kuanoniamine C (7) on the protein content of MCF-7 cells (
With kuanoniamine A (6), the loss of cellular protein content falls immediately for the values below 70% after the exposure time as low as 6 h. This effect was found to be significantly dependent on the exposure time. On the contrary, the effect of kuanoniamine C (7) was found to be less intense and the cellular protein content was stable for almost all the treatments.
To further investigate the effect of these two compounds on MCF-7 cell proliferation, the cells were exposed for 24 and 48 h to 0.34 μM of kuanoniamine A (
From this figure, it can be concluded that an extensive reduction of cells in G2/M phase (5.71%) with a consequent accumulation of cells in G1 phase (81.41%) and a reduction on the cellular fraction in S phase (12.88%) was observed in cells treated with 0.34 μM of kuanoniamine A (
During the experiments we have observed that the proliferative effect of kuanoniamine C (7), associated with treatments with low concentrations and short exposure times, as previously detected by thymidine incorporation, was not accompanied by an enhancement of MTT reducing activity or by an increase of cellular protein content. This observation can be explained by a low sensitivity of the MTT and SRB assay for the analysis of cell proliferation when compared with the 3H-thymidine uptake method incorporation.
In order to investigate if the growth inhibitory effect of the kuanoniamine A (

Five human tumour cell lines, MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma, estrogen-dependent ER (+)), MDA-MB-231 (breast adenocarcinoma, estrogen-independent ER (−)), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer), SF-268 (glioma) and UACC-62 (melanoma) and one non-tumour cell line, MRC-5 (diploid embryonic lung fibroblast) were used. MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MRC-5 were obtained from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC, Salisbury, UK) while NCI-H460, SF-268 and UACC-62 cell lines were provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, U.S.A.). Cells, growing as monolayer, were routinely maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated FBS, 2 mM glutamine and antibiotics (penicillin 100 U/ml, streptomycin 100 μg/ml), at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Exponentially growing cells were obtained by plating 1.5×105cells/ml for MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SF-268 and MRC-5, 1.0 × 105cells/ml for UACC-62 and 0.75 × 104cells/ml for NCI-H460, followed by 24 h incubation. The effect of the vehicle solvent (DMSO) on the growth of these cell lines was evaluated in all the experiments by exposing untreated control cells to the maximum concentration (0.5%) of DMSO used in each assay.

Following this exposure period adherent cells were fixed in situ with 50% TCA, washed with distillated water and stained with 0.4% SRB solubilized in 1% acetic acid. The bound stain was solubilized in 10 mM Tris and the absorbance was measured at 492 nm in a microplate reader (Biotek Instruments Inc., Powerwave XS, Wincoski, USA). For each cell line a dose-response curve was obtained and the growth inhibition of 50% (GI50), corresponding to the concentration of kuanoniamine A and kuanoniamine C that inhibited 50% of the net cell growth was calculated as described elsewhere [
The effect of kuanoniamine A and kuanoniamine C on the mitogenic response of human lymphocytes to PHA (10 μg/ml) was evaluated using a modified version of the colorimetric MTT-assay [
MCF-7 cells growing exponentially in 96-well plates were treated with a range of concentrations of kuanoniamine A (0.04; 0.08; 0.17; 0.34; 0.68; 1.35; 2.70; 5.41; 10.81; 21.63; 43.26 and 86.51 μM) and of kuanoniamine C (0.03; 0.07; 0.13; 0.26; 0.52; 1.04; 2.09; 4.18; 8.36; 16.71; 33.42 and 66.84 μM) for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. Following this incubation period cell growth was assessed by [3H]-thymidine incorporation, MTT and SRB assays. In the [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay cells were further incubated with 1 μCi of [3H] thymidine for 4 h. Pulsed cells were then harvested on a glass filter 102 x 256 mm (Skatron, Norway) using a semiautomatic cell harvester (Skatron Instruments, Norway) and allowed to dry. Incorporation of radioactive thymidine was determined in a scintillation counter (LS 6500, Beckman Instruments, CA and USA) and defined by comparing the arithmetic mean of counts per minute (cpm) of treated cells with that of untreated control cells.
In the MTT assay, MTT was added (5 mg/ml) and cells were incubated for a further 4 h. Formazan product were solubilized with SDS/DMF solution overnight at 37ºC. Absorbance was measured at 550 nm in the microplate reader. The percentage of MTT reduction was calculated comparing the absorbance of treated cells to that of untreated control cells.
In the SRB assay adherent cells were fixed
MCF-7 cells growing exponentially in 25 cm2 flasks were treated with 0.08, 0.17, 0.34 and 0.68 μM of kuanoniamine A for 24 h and 4.18 and 8.35 μM of kuanoniamine C for 24 and 48 h. After treatment, attached cells were released by trypsinization and mixed with non-adherent cells. Cells were centrifuged, washed twice with PBS and fixed with 70% ice-cold ethanol. Fixed cells (1 x 106 cells/ml) were resuspended in the DNA staining solution containing 50 μg/ml propidium iodide, 0.5 mg/ml RNase in 10 mM Tris and 5 mM MgCl2. DNA cellular content was analyzed with a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, CA) with excitation at 488 nm. Data was acquired in a listmode data file, gated to 30.000 events in cell cycle, using the CellQuest Pro software, version 4.0.2 (Becton Dickinson Mountain View, CA) included in the system. Cell cycle was analysed using the ModFit LT 3.0 software program (Verity Software Topsham) with an activated gate to eliminate aggregates (FL2-A/FL2-W).
Fragmentation of the cellular DNA was evaluated using the
Exponential MCF-7 cells growing in 6-well plates were treated with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 μM of kuanoniamine A for 24h. After treatment, attached cells were released by trypsinization and mixed with non-adherent cells. Cells were stained with 0.2% trypan blue and viable and non-viable cells were counted in a hemocytometer. Results were expressed in terms of percentage of viable cells in the total cell number.

Miranda Kerr & Adriana Lima Strip Down for Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (VIDEO)
Before the models hit the catwalk, Celebuzz was backstage with a few of the angels like Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima. We caught up with Orlando Bloom's gorgeous wife, who dished all about motherhood and her flawless bod. While in another corner, Adriana stripped down, flaunting her sexy assets for all eyes to see!
Watch the video above and let us know if you'll be watching the runway show tonight.
Backstage, Adriana caused quite a stir as she dropped her robe and showed off her hot body, wearing only a VS bra and underwear. Wondering how in the world the models get their bodies to look so perfect?
Well, Adriana decided to share her diet secrets with the world. Her stunning fashion show physique is the result of hard work and told Nylon Magazine that about a month and a half before the big night she works out twice a day, eating only lean protein and green vegetables with an occasional protein shake or cereal bar for a snack. Then, nine days before the show she actually quits eating all together — by going on a liquid diet. Lima's diet is then full of only protein shakes to keep her strong and lean.
She then stops drinking even water — no liquids — for 12 hours until the moment she puts on those infamous wings and struts down the runway. Whew! Guess, no one ever said it was easy being an angel.

The construction and engineering sector has outperformed the broader market this year thanks to optimism surrounding the re-emergence of the mining boom.
While the broader market is struggling to break even, the sector has turned in a total median return of around 5 per cent.
But it would be a mistake for investors to paint all stocks in this space with the same brush, given performance often depends on the stage of the mining cycle a group focuses on.
Goldman Sachs has divided the construction and engineering sector into five groups depending on their area of expertise, which analyst Chris Savage believes is a useful tool in deciding when to buy or sell a stock from this sector.
The first group, which provides tools and services for exploration, tends to perform best in the early stage of a mining upturn. Examples include
The core competence of the second group, which are tipped to outperform in the current cycle, is design work and early procurement.
"At present, we are seeing a number of new mining projects or expansions under way – or about to get under way," said Mr Savage.
"This suggests that now is the time to get exposure to stocks which have detailed design or project management capability or some construction capability or exposure."
Goldman Sach's key picks from this group include
The next group of contractors that should also be ramping up are those involved in construction. This could include civil work contractors such as
The last group is made up of companies involved in production and this covers contractors that supply production consumables like
It may be too soon to buy the last group, Mr Savage said. While new projects and expansions will eventually lead to increased demand for production services, this is likely to take a few years to play out.
ATOM Funds Management chief investment officer David Shearwood also stressed the importance of timing, but acknowledges this is easier said than done. "These businesses are very cyclical and you only have earnings transparency, in terms of the order book, for two or 2½ years," he said.
"What this means is they shouldn't be trading on very high price-earnings multiples."
The lack of earnings stability over a longer period means investors should only buy the stock on P/Es of around five times and sell when the P/E reaches 10, explained Mr Shearwood.
This limits investment opportunities given most construction and engineering stocks are trading on P/Es of about 10 times, according to Mr Shearwood.
"This doesn't mean we are negative on the mining boom – we are not. It's just that if you get a surprise, these stocks can turn down very rapidly," he explained.
Some headwinds include the uncertainty over the mining tax, competition, and potential hiccups in China due to signs that parts of its economy are overheating.
Mr Shearwood believes that buying select mining stocks are a safer bet and highlights examples like

Student-centered faculty retire from three departments
Associate Professor Colette Henriette has reshaped the French curriculum and created new courses ranging from Business French to L'Actualité française, the study of French current events through reading or watching Francophone media. Her teaching is proficiency based and she is certified in the Berlitz method having studied with John Rassias who invented the innovative approach to teaching languages. She has advised both the French Club and House, supervised innumerable independent studies and projects for departmental honors, taken students on field trips and this year, with her colleagues Drs. Martine Motard-Noar and Cathy Bodin, hosted 120 French students who took the famous Grand Concours, a national French test sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French.
In 1991, her scholarly paper derived from her dissertation examining 18th-century women of letters and private correspondence as a new literary genre garnered an invitation to present at the Eighth International Congress on the Enlightenment held in England for 1,000 scholars worldwide.
From 1999-2005, she served as the Study Abroad Director helping hundreds of students broaden their horizons by choosing a stimulating study abroad program around the world. She retires in May after 40 years of teaching, 18 at McDaniel where she has inspired her students to stretch beyond what's needed to earn an A.
Alex Ober, professor of Exercise Science and Physical Education, joined the Intercollegiate Athletics department as a graduate assistant in 1967, and after completing a master's in education in 1969, was appointed a physical education instructor. His expertise in sport history and biomechanics resulted in several publications in scholarly journals, and courses popular with both undergraduate and graduate students. Moreover, he designed a Jan Term course on C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles that demonstrates his inherent appreciation of the liberal arts. Throughout his career, he has influenced hundreds of student-athletes as the former Head Coach of Men's Basketball, Lacrosse and Tennis (he even coached football early on.) During Ober's 17-year tenure as basketball coach, his teams won 185 games and three times won 16 games in a single season. Both of these accomplishments are school records.
His leadership among his faculty peers is clearly demonstrated by twice serving as chair of the Faculty Affairs Committee and the Admissions and Retention Committee, and election as Faculty Ombudsman. He also has served ad EPE Department Chair since 1996 and as College Marshall at formal academic ceremonies.
For more than three decades Professor of Social Work Dan Rees, an established expert in the field of human relations, has taught courses focusing on the family as well as human relations in the workplace and kept his students engaged in lively discussions of realistic examples. He says that working in the field has allowed him to relate models to social work and sociology majors. It has also earned him invitations as a frequent presenter especially on the topic of "thinking styles" to various outside agencies including bar associations, industrial and practitioner organizations. He even served as an advisor to the Clinton White House where Rees was asked to help enhance team and organizational effectiveness.
Throughout his career as a faculty member, Rees has served on numerous committees especially in the area of student affairs, advisor to student groups and consistent Green Terror fan for student-athletes. His leadership as Social Work Department Chair effectively managed a busy internship program and two successful re-accreditations processes. His peers applaud the mentoring he provided to newcomers on the faculty.

Low-maintenance decking is good news. Traditional wood decks look great, but you have to refinish or reseal them every few years to keep them looking that way. Low-maintenance alternatives now promise much of the same look and feel of wood, but without the worry that they'll crack, split or warp if you neglect them.
Wood composites (mixtures of wood fiber and plastic) are leading the way. We'll introduce you to two types of composites—solid boards and a variety of hollow shapes. We'll also tell you about vinyl and aluminum decking options that require even less maintenance than composites.
Solid composite decking
If you like the look of a traditional wood deck, solid composites are for you. They imitate the look, feel and workability of wood deck boards. They're roughly the same size— about 1 to 1-1/4 in. thick and 5-1/2 in. wide. They're tough and durable, and they resist insect and rot. The finished deck will have a solid feel underfoot with minimal flex. Every composite board is identical and flat, without twists, warps or knots to slow installation time. However, composites may require an annual cleaning to remove mildew and dirt. They aren't structural (use wood joists).And solid composites are heavy; they're a chore to handle if you're working alone.
Working with composite decking
If you're accustomed to working with wood, it's easy to make the transition to solid composites. You can cut a board with a circular saw, round over the edge to a bull nose with a router, and soften the ends or erase a scratch with a sander. Use a 24-tooth carbide circular saw blade and carbide router bits (high-speed steel dulls quickly). Frame your deck with pressure-treated wood joists 16 in. on center (12 in. on center (o.c.) if you set the decking at a 45-degree angle).
Video: How to Install Hidden Deck Fasteners
Solid composites are tough, so driving the fasteners requires oomph. Use either 2-1/2-in. screws or 2-1/2-in. nails. Most screws cause the surface to bulge or mushroom. You can either whack the lump down with a hammer or prevent it by predrilling and countersinking a hole before driving the screw.
- Hidden fastening systems are attached to the joist first, then the deck board. It's the cleanest look but time consuming to install. One brand is Deckmaster.
- Specialty screws go in cleanly and avoid mushrooming. Available in gray and tan. One brand is FastenMaster TrapEase.
- Stainless steel trim screws hold well and are less prominent. One source is GRK Fasteners.
- Coated deck screws are less expensive. Upgrade to stainless steel (at twice the price) for damp situations or near saltwater. Widely available.
- Power nailing is the fastest and least expensive. Use stainless steel or galvanized nails with a "ring shank." Slightly countersink the head.
Special features
Composites are surprisingly flexible, making them ideal for decks with curves. Here are a few tips for bending boards:
- Composites are more flexible when warm.
- Use clamps to draw the board to the curve, then secure it with deck screws.
- Some brands will bend easier than others. Ask your supplier for details if you're thinking about a curved deck.
Solid composites also work well for a ground-level deck where there's high moisture and minimal airflow. They'll resist cupping and warping and won't rot.
Other composite varieties
Consider one of these systems if you want a lighter-weight composite, a tightly spaced appearance or a simple hidden fastening system. Interlocking tongue-and-groove systems eliminate gaps and allow you to hide the screws as well as drive fewer of them. Several styles are stiffer and can span joists on 24-in. centers. However, each system has "need-to-know details" to make the job successful, including how to cover the ends of the boards, how to rip boards, where to start the first board, and where and how to fasten them. Many require at least a 12-in. air space under the deck for ventilation. Study the details of each system at the lumberyard or home center before buying.
Working with these systems
Like the solid versions, these composites are cut with normal carpentry tools. Installation details vary by brand; study them before you start. Ripped boards may require reinforcement. Cover the ends with special trim pieces from the manufacturer or a trim board. If using tongue-and-groove boards, slope the framing 1/2 in. over 8 ft. to drain any water away from the house, and run the decking perpendicular to the house if possible.
- Hollow versions: Drive screws through the surface as you would with solids. The installation guidelines tell you where to place them so you don't crack the surface. Don't overdrive them.
- Tongue-and-groove systems: Drive screws at an angle through one edge. The next board hides the screwhead. These systems go down fast.
- Clip systems: You loosely screw the clip in place, slip the next board in, then tighten the screw the rest of the way to clamp the board down. The clips let the board expand and contract freely.
Special features
The tongue-and-groove style looks tight and clean (no fasteners) and partially protects the space beneath from rain. The lighter weight boards are easier to handle and are often more suitable for rooftop decks. Some tongue-and-groove versions fit tightly and look more like a porch floor than a deck.
Vinyl decking
Vinyl requires even less maintenance than composites. Simply rinse it down with the spray of a garden hose and you've got a fresh, clean look. Colors (tan, white and gray) resist fading much better too. It's lightweight and most brands have a hidden fastening method, usually screws that you fasten to a treated wood frame. Vinyl won't look or feel like wood or the composites. When you walk across the deck, there's a lighter, hollow sound. It blends well with vinyl siding.
Although not difficult to install, vinyl systems aren't as versatile as composites. While you can cut it with a circular saw, installing it is more of an assembly project. You'll need special end caps and other detail pieces. You have to plan carefully. Vinyl railings that complement the deck are also available. Many manufacturers back the vinyl with lifetime warranties.
Aluminum decking
If you want a dry space under a deck and a maintenance-free, lifetime deck surface, aluminum is a really cool option. It doesn't look like a traditional wood deck, however. It's heavy-gauge metal with a coated finish available in white, gray, almond and tan. The "boards" interlock into a gutter system that catches water and channels it away. Since it's a kit-type system, you have to order all the parts. Railing kits are available. Aluminum decking can span joists up to 30 in. on center, but it feels extremely stiff underfoot. It's not as hot in direct sunlight as you might think; the light colors reflect the sun and aluminum disperses heat very well.
You screw aluminum decking to standard treated wood framing, set to slope at least 1/8 in. per foot away from the house. You'll need special starting and finishing pieces, as well as trim pieces to cover the ends. You can cut aluminum with a circular saw equipped with a 40-tooth nonferrous metal-cutting blade, but it's slow and loud. If possible, avoid cutting by framing your deck to accommodate full-length deck panels, and stick to simple, rectangular decks.

- Buyer's Guide: Grills
Buyer's Guide: Grills
The industry has introduced new technologies that make grilling your favorite meals even easier and more fun.
Nearly 8 out of 10 (or 77 percent) households own an outdoor barbecue grill or smoker, according to the Char-Broil , in Columbus, GA. The industry has responded by developing more state-of-the-art technologies.
Infrared is Hot
Consumers want grills to replicate that great steakhouse taste that they love so much but can't seem to duplicate on their home grill. Now they can come closer, thanks to an infrared grill technology that replicates the high temperatures and flavors that restaurants use. Although infrared is reserved for the higher-end grills, more manufacturers are incorporating it into their designs this year. "The biggest different between infrared and other grills is the heat," says grilling expert Alicia Kaper of CSN Stores . "It's a higher temperature than gas, electric, and charcoal and provides the best searing ability. You don't use hot air, so your food won't dry out, and it's so hot that it cuts down on half the time and energy you would usually use to cook."
Surface Trends
Say good-bye to food with black grill lines. New flattop grills cook on an even surface and trap the flames away from the food. And with the increase in steel costs, porcelain is now the new stainless steel. Many grill makers are now offering more affordable porcelain grills that come in a variety of colors to match your outdoor kitchen or patio set.
Size Matters
Bruce Frankel, the founder of SpitJack, a website that sells grills, fire pits, and whole hog cookers, says that when buying grills, his customers think about BTUs (unit of energy). "The more BTUs, the better," he says. "Men want firepower, and I don't see grilling any other way."
On the other hand, Deidra Darsa, media relations manager of the grilling alternatives, including pellet grills. Similar to pellet stoves, which use small wood pellets, pellet grills are becoming increasingly more popular. The pellets—the energy source that cooks the food—come in a variety of flavors, such as hickory, oak, and mesquite. A pellet grill requires electricity, but the wood pellets are made from recycled sawdust, making it a renewable fuel.
How to Choose a Grill
There are charcoal, gas, electric, and wood pellet grills. Grilling with charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal is less expensive than a natural-gas grill and adds great flavor. Gas grills can be heated with natural or propane gas. Natural-gas grills are probably the cheapest and most energy-efficient way to barbeque, and unlike with propane, there's no need to refill the tank. Electric grills are safe—no open flames—and don't require the purchase of charcoal or starter fluids. Pellet grills, which use small wood pellets in a variety of flavors, are becoming increasingly more popular and require electricity; the fuel (wood pellets) is made from recycled sawdust. Water or charcoal smokers are also gaining in popularity.
There are many grills to choose from, but Darsa recommends examining your lifestyle to narrow your options. "What kinds of food do you like to cook?" she suggests asking yourself. "If you don't like the taste of charcoaled foods, you won't want that type of grill. For more extravagant culinary tastes, you may want a more elaborate grill that has more burners and does more things."
The HPBA website lists questions you should ask yourself before purchasing a grill and recommends looking at fuel type, size, features, style, budget, and grill use to determine the right grill for you.

In a voucher system (which the Republicans prefer to call "premium support"), you would be given a certain amount of money to spend on your health care. You would choose your insurance. Anything that your insurance did not pay would come out of your pocket. Is such a system better for you than our current Medicare system? The answer is unequivocally no. Under the Medicare system, the government has huge leverage to reduce medical costs since it is a single payer. It has already used that leverage successfully. Payment for medical care in the hands of many different insurance companies has not been shown to reduce costs and there is no reason in such a system for them to even try since you cover everything they don't.
In 40 years of medical practice, I have seen the cost of medical care rise dramatically. New devices and new drugs are extremely expensive and the cost is passed on to the patient. Numerous people have to choose between eating and medication. Under a voucher system, the choice will be even more difficult.

I had silicone, under the muscle breast implants (325cc) and lift 9 weeks ago. The implant on the right has settled down and that side looks great and very natural. The left implant is still very high making my chest look very abnormal and asymmetrical. I cannot wear a bathing suit because the asymmetry is so obvious. I am aggressively massaging the implant down but it just pops right up. Is it likely that I will need a revision? How long should I wait before having this fixed?
How Long Does It Take for Implants to "Settle" into the Correct Position?

Breast Implants Settling?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Yes, I have seen implants "drop" for up to 12 months (or more) after breast augmentation surgery. I asked my patients to "pull up on the skin and push down on the implant" on the side that is slower to settle. Although it is controversial I think that implant massage and displacement exercises are helpful in keeping the breasts soft in general.
Continue to follow up your plastic surgeon and make sure you are not experiencing encapsulation which may result in firmness of the breast and/or implant malposition.
I hope this helps.

PHOTO: How Long Does It Take for Implants to "Settle" into the Correct Position
I usually wait 9 months before recommending a revision but it appears that your muscle will need to be completely released according to your desciption.

Implant position
Nine weeks post-operative from a breast augmentation is not enough time to allow for the implant to settle. GIve it some more time.

Implants "settle"
It can take several months before your breasts settling completely. Also, your breast can heal at different rates so while you are satisfied with the one, the other should catch up providing there are no other issues such as capsular contracture. Gravity always wins. The other factor to consider is the degree of asymmetry before the augmentation. This could affect your results as well.
Gently massaging your breast may help. Sometimes strapping the breasts down helps them settle as well. I would have another discussion with your plastic surgeon. It is still too soon to get worried. If the look of your breasts isn't satisfying in about 6 months, you can consider a revision.
Post-Augmentation Implant Too High
Your photos clearly show a left implant that is too high causing significant asymmetry. So the question is "Why is that implant too high?" If a capsule has formed, then you should wait 9 months for a revision. If its simply a placement issue, then a revision can be performed sooner. In this case, I like to wait for the inflammation around the incision to subside.

Asymmetry with breast augmentation
Hi It seems that you have either a capsule formation shifting the implant on your left upward. If this was in the same position originally and has not developed over time, then it may be that there is a muscle release on your right that may not match your left. If so, then the muscle will need to be released more on the left. One way of telling if this is so is to put your hands on your hips and push in...thereby shifting the implants. If the right side implant shifts laterally and up, then this is the usual case with a submuscular implant placement. On the left, does the implant go UP toward the clavicle? If so, then the remaining fibers of the muscle are holding the implant up and they will need to be released. Having said all of this, it is very important for you to discuss these issues with your surgeon so you can get a plan if the left side does not drop (and I do not think it will). It never hurts to wait but if there is an obvious release that can be done to allow for more symmetry and settle this, then I do not see a reason to wait. If there are changes still taking place, then waiting is certainly in order. If you were my patient, we would settle this soon and get our relationship back on track. Good luck.
