Thank you for volunteering to serve as a PMP Pal Mentor to a Patient or Caregiver!
The PMP Pals' Network believes that confident, well-educated patients experience a stronger and faster recuperation than do patients who are poorly informed and fearful of surgery.
We base this belief on our own personal experiences as patients and caregivers.
The PMP Pals' Network assists patients and their caregivers (whether family or close friend) in preparing for surgery or chemotherapy, or recovering from treatment, by linking them directly with specific Pal Mentors who have been personally selected to assist each individual patient. Though the focus of the Mentor Program is on newly diagnosed patients and their caregivers, we also assist patients and caregivers facing recurrences and other significant treatment events.
Pal Patients and Pal Caregivers communicate with their Pal Mentors via telephone, personal visits, email, SKYPE and postal mail.
Do not provide medical advice. Even if you are a licensed healthcare professional, medical advice should be provided by the patient's own medical professionals.
Be truthful and fact-based when the patient inquires about the challenges presented by the surgery itself, but do not dwell on their fears. It is likely that the patient has already read or "heard" fearful information via the Internet. Our purpose is to assist patients in overcoming their fears and focusing on the future so that they can resume their healthy lives again. You might say "I understand from my own experience that this surgery is very challenging, and I am here to assist you today in getting through your surgery." You also might mention some of the activities you enjoy today such as returning to work, family life, travel, sports, and hobbies.
Look to the future and celebrate progress. Help the patients to set goals for the future and look forward to milestone events. You can talk about the milestone events in your life following your surgery. Have you attended the graduation of a loved one? A wedding? Welcomed a new baby into the family? Traveled? What milestones have you experienced that made the challenges of surgery worthwhile to you and your family? Help the patient recognize and celebrate progress towards goals.
Use correct terminology to promote accurate perception and understanding. Do not refer to surgery, our disease, or its treatments with slang colloquialisms. Descriptions such as "MOAS" are discouraged within the PMP Pals' Network as they are negative stereotypes and reinforce the fear factor associated with this disease.
The correct, medically-recognized descriptions for our surgery are simply "surgery", Cytoreductive Surgery, or CRS.
The correct, medically-recognized descriptions for our heated chemotherapy treatment are HIPEC or heated chemotherapy.
The correct medically-recognized description for our disease is Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. "PMP" is simply an abbreviation of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. When researching information regarding our disease, the appropriate search term is Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. For related diagnoses, see information on the PMP Pals' Network website www.pmppals.net.
It is important that you help the patient or caregiver learn the correct terminology. If the person you are mentoring uses slang colloquialisms during your conversation, respond using the appropriate terminology and gently encourage the use of appropriate words to promote accurate understanding and perception.
By educating ourselves, other patients/caregivers, and the public about the appropriate terminology, we help to ensure respect for our disease, including consideration of research funding and approval of treatment coverage by our insurance healthcare providers.
whatever worked in a positive fashion for you!!
2. Do not talk negatively about or slander physicians or other healthcare professionals. If a patient or caregiver asks your opinion about a healthcare provider that you don't like or downright disagree with, you can simply say, "I chose not to be treated by Dr. So and So; I was more comfortable with the doctor I selected." Do not elaborate. It is not uncommon for physicians and prospective patients to disagree. We have many different "personality types" and specialists to choose among.
"He returns my phone calls promptly" or whatever qualities that you believe are helpful and important to share.
Respect the patient's choice of surgeon and hospital. Recognize that most of our fellow Pals have health insurance restrictions, family issues, and financial considerations that affect their selection of surgeons and treatment centers. Each Pal has a unique set of circumstances.
For "veteran" patients of Dr. Sugarbaker: please keep in mind that due to a limited schedule and other factors, Dr. Sugarbaker restricts the number and type of cases he accepts. If you have been treated by Dr. Sugarbaker, and the patient you are monitoring will not be treated by him, please refrain from making the patient feel that he will not receive optimal care from any other surgeon. Many of our surgeons have studied extensively under the tutelage of Dr. Sugarbaker and respect him tremendously. It is likely that the patient you are mentoring will not be a patient of Dr. Sugarbaker, but please reassure the patient that he/she will be in very capable hands.
Acknowledge the special and important role of the caregiver, generally a spouse, parent, or sibling but sometimes a close friend. The caregiver will serve in the most important role, that of patient advocate. The caregiver must speak up for the patient when the patient is unable to do so. Help the caregiver think through what issues might come up and be alert to subtle changes in patient condition that could require medical attention. Encourage the caregiver to speak up and ask questions!
Stress infection prevention. Because the caregiver sees many medical staff come and go in the patient's hospital room, infection prevention is a core part of patient advocacy. The caregiver must be diligent in reminding everyone who comes in contact with the patient about strict adherence to infection prevention techniques. Complications from infection can be as much of a concern as the surgery itself. Therefore, we stress infection prevention on www.pmppals.net, in our PMP Pals' Handbook: Preparing for Surgery, and in our PMP Pals' Newsletters. Please ask caregivers to educate themselves about infection prevention and encourage them to speak up to protect their loved ones against infection.
Questions? Contact your mentor coordinator or contact PMP Pals' Network at info@pmppals.net. Also, please review our new website at www.pmppals.net. This new website is the central access point for information of interest to patients and caregivers, as well as mentors. Throughout 2015, we will be working to combine the legacy PMP Pals' Network website www.pmppals.org. Until we finish moving the information from our legacy website onto our new website, please use the link on our new website to access the wealth of detailed information still available on our legacy website. As we move through 2015, we will be re-locating more information from the legacy site to our new site to make it easier to find, so stay tuned!
Don't forget to review our caregiving tips on the CAREGIVERS link at www.pmppals.org (under "TREATMENTS") as well as those outlined in our handbook, PMP Pals' Handbook: Preparing for Surgery and in our PMP Pals' Newsletters.
Once again, THANK YOU for agreeing to serve as a PMP Pal Mentor!

Eagles' male cheerleader Kyle Tanguay speaks to 6abc
WPVI
By Digital Producer Brock Koller
When Kyle Tanguay's number was called and his name was announced as the newest Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader, it was an unbelievable moment for him.
While the University of the Arts student said he was more excited for his roommate who was selected a few moments before him, the rest of the cheerleading squad has been rooting him on ever since Tuesday's night Eagles Cheer Final Auditions.
"When I walked out there, they were so excited. They were all super excited to get started working with the Eagles. They have all reached out to me since last night to give me a 'congratulations,' 'we're so excited for you,' 'we cannot wait to start working with you,'" Tanguay told 6abc.com on Wednesday.
Tanguay, who has been identified by the organization as the first male cheerleader on the team, did not grow up an Eagles fan - in fact, he did not grow up in Philadelphia.
It was when he moved to Philly from New Hampshire that he was bit by the Bird bug.
"I grew up in New England, which is very a super sports-oriented place, but I never really got into anything. I moved to Philly to pursue my degree at the University of the Arts. I live right in Center City.
There's something about the environment in Philadelphia and the way that they kind of view and respect their sports that got me super into it," Tanguay said.
Tanguay started watching the Eagles with his roommate's boyfriend (the roommate who also made the team) at the start of the Eagles' Super Bowl Championship season. He was captivated by the ups and down of Doug Pederson's team.
"After that season, I just knew - this team took me as someone who never really followed football and now I'm in love with the team. There's something to be said for that. Ever since then, I've followed them. I've watched every game this season. Just living in Philadelphia, being in Center City, you can't be in this community and not become very excited about the sports," Tanguay said.
Just over one year ago, Tanguay crossed paths with one of his friends who had some exciting news - she just made the Eagles Cheer team. He told her he would follow in her footsteps.
"The worst thing that would happen, they would just tell me no. I'm just going to go for it. I trained. My roommate and I worked on it together, we practiced all season. We worked on our fitness and dance training. We went for it," Tanguay said.
After people heard about his goal of becoming an Eagles cheerleader, they would tell Tanguay: 'Wow, are you really going to go for it? You think they would put a male on their team?"
A man on an NFL cheerleading squad is not a usual site, but it's one that has been seen recently.
Quinton Peron and Napolean Jinnies were the first male cheerleaders on the Los Angeles Ram squad in 2018. They also became the first to perform at the Super Bowl.
Jesse Hernandez was then selected to the Saintsations, the New Orleans Saints cheering team.
Now, Tanguay joins them.
He was the only male contestant who showed up for the Eagles open call, but hopes others will be encouraged to try out in the future.
"I think it's really exciting to see this happening in the NFL. It's something that's really incredible. We've all worked really hard in our training to earn our spots on these teams. I can speak for myself with the Eagles, if there are any guys that were thinking about trying out for the Eagles Cheerleading team, I would encourage it," Tanguay said. "To hear my name call and kind of break down that barrier was really exciting for me."
Tanguay said the Eagles have been nothing but inclusive and supportive as he made it through the rounds of tryouts.
"I said this so much since the beginning of this process, every single time I showed up at the Linc or NovaCare, every single person from Barbara Zaun, who is the Director of Entertainment for the Eagles, to the workers who help check us in at events have been so kind and considerate to me. They have really been rooting for me throughout the whole entire process," Tanguay said.
His family could not make it to the finals to hear his name called, but they were all watching it on the livestream from New England. Tanguay's grandmother had to call his mom to share her happiness. And his younger brother just discovered football through Tanguay's cheerleading journey.
Tanguay said the cheerleading team already feels like a family since they've been practicing together for weeks.
And, if there was any question, he has the Eagles Fight Song on replay as he gears up for his debut.
"We actually have a playlist that we play in the apartment every time we get ready for the Eagles and it's pretty much 'Fly Eagles Fly,' all these different renditions of it over and over. So we have it memorized and we're ready for the world to hear it this season," Tanguay said.
Tanguay first started his dance training at age 10. Now at age 21, he is training to dance on the sidelines as Carson Wentz, DeSean Jackson, and Zach Ertz take the field at the Linc in the fall.
"I was walking around today, I was on the phone with the Eagles, and all my friends kept coming up to me. Someone that lives two blocks down stopped me and said 'I saw your story on 6abc, that's so incredible. Congratulations.' It's been crazy to wake up this morning and my phone has been off the hook. It's definitely a different feeling when I walk down Philadelphia today," Tanguay said.
He hopes the fear of failing doesn't discourage other men from trying out to be the next NFL cheerleader.
"It's been a great experience and I say to go for it, reach for your dreams, the sky's the limit. In the event that there's ever a no, it's just setting you up for another yes. So just keep pushing, keep training, and keep working; there's really nothing you can't get if you work for it," Tanguay said.

Technology hope for African farmers
In Africa, a startup scene is taking shape, capable of lifting millions out of poverty by transforming the continent's largest industry: Agriculture.
The continent has more than a quarter of the world's arable land, and farming contributes 15 percent of the continent's total gross domestic product, equivalent to $100 billion a year, according to consultancy McKinsey, ft.com reported.
But a traditional, manual approach among smallholder farmers has kept yields below full capacity.
Now technological innovation is starting to help lift production. Precision Agriculture for Development (PAD), a Boston-based nonprofit organization, for example, is using text messaging to teach farmers in western Kenya how to use agricultural lime, which helps combat soil acidity, and how to fight the fall armyworm pest, which tears through crops and destroys livelihoods.
PAD, which works in several countries including Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda, is one of a growing number of nonprofit organizations and companies scaling down technology tools for smallholder farmers — those with small plots of land relying almost exclusively on family labor — to transform growing practices across the continent.
The dual effects of climate change and population growth have thrust smart agriculture on to the agenda, as farmers and governments scramble to prepare for rising food demand.
"Providing farmers with information and recommendations tailored to their local soil, weather and market conditions could dramatically improve yields and net incomes for farmers," said Megan Sheahan, the PAD's director of operations.
According to the company, information sent via text message — including reminders about planting and weeding schedules — increased sugar cane yields in Kenya by 11.5 percent. Meanwhile, creating a hotline service for farmers to report delays in fertilizer delivery reduced their frequency by 21.6 percent.
Agricultural technology has already seen impressive uptake in the US, the UK and Australia, where many growers now deploy a sophisticated range of drones, satellite data, soil sensors and internet-of-things-enabled devices.
In the developing world, where four-fifths of food is produced by smallholders, according to the UN, uptake has been slower because of lower literacy rates, capital and telephony penetration.
A cohort of indigenous African companies, as well as multinationals such as Climate Corporation and institutions such as the World Bank are, however, exploring ways to adapt and broaden smart farming technologies to bring the precision agriculture revolution to the continent. Most work with cooperatives and governments.
Zenvus, an Owerri-based startup, collects and analyzes vast amounts of soil data across Nigeria, offering detailed, tailored advice to farmers on what, when and how to plant.
Its digital services allow smallholders to view real-time crop prices, raise capital and crowdfund on their computers and smart devices.
"This will have a tangible effect on poverty in Africa because most households and families are going to see higher incomes," said Ndubuisi Ekekwe, the company's founder.
AgroCenta, another platform, brings advice and weather forecasts to Ghanaian farmers and, most importantly, allows them to sell their crops digitally to large companies such as Nestlé and Diageo.
"Smallholder farmers who trade on AgroCenta enjoy access to a structured market to trade, bypassing exploitative middlemen," said Francis Obirikorang, the chief executive.
Meanwhile, in emerging agritech hub Kenya, SunCulture sells solar-powered pumps for affordable irrigation and Nairobi-based SolarFreeze has designed solar-powered cold storage units for farmers and traders.
In Cameroon, AgroSpaces provides growers with live pricing data, giving them an advantage when they take their crops to market.
There are obstacles on the road to data-driven agriculture in Africa, even if tools can be scaled down to within the financial reach of small-scale growers.
Lower literacy rates in rural areas mean the delivery of apps and services must be accompanied by time-consuming training.
In addition, telephony penetration rates vary wildly across sub-Saharan Africa, where overall penetration reached 44 percent in 2017, below the global average rate of 66 percent. With large swaths of arable land still lacking connectivity, it is difficult to deploy new technologies.
"Internet penetration rates present the biggest obstacle to tech-based farming in Africa," said Obirikorang.
There are also concerns that new technologies might push smallholders towards harmful chemical-based farming methods, which boost yields in the short term but can deplete soils over time.
"Farming provides an extremely important livelihood so ensuring new technologies do not destroy jobs and incomes is vital," said Vicki Hird, the campaign coordinator at Sustain, a food and environment consultancy.
Ultimately, the success of smart farming in sub-Saharan Africa will hinge on education, connectivity and financing, all of which depend on governments.
Agritech companies, however, are optimistic.
"There is so much appetite for investment," said Zenvus's Ekekwe.
"It is the one area where many people believe we will see exponential growth."

Recaps Chevron Right
Blindspot recap: Remi attempts to break Shepherd out of a CIA black site
By Kyle Fowle
Credit: NBC/Warner Brothers
S4 E8
The first few episodes this season of Blindspot changed things for better and worse. With Remi making a comeback in Jane's body, the show found a way to shift the narrative in an interesting way. With Sandstorm all but taken care of, and Hank Crawford dead, Blindspot needed to create a new villain…or in the case of Remi, bring back an old one. But the narrative trick grew tiresome quickly; on paper it's a good way to create tension between the team and Jane/Remi, but in execution it resulted in a lot of repetitious scenes of Jane concealing her terrorist side. Last week's episode finally exposed Remi to Weller, and that reveal pays off in spades this week, as "Screech, Thwack, Pow" finally sees things heating up.
The episode lets you know it means business right off the bat, as we pick up with Weller speeding down the road, aiming his car right at Remi (I've been calling her Jane all season, but the switch seems appropriate now). She pulls out her gun, puts the car in her sights, and fires off a few shots. The car rolls, the windshield shatters, and Weller's fate is unknown as "Screech, Thwack, Pow" flashes back to earlier that day.
After we see Patterson express very real surprise at Weitz and Reade working together to find Zapata — mixed in with some hesitation about Weitz's ability to back up Reade in a dangerous situation — we're back at the FBI headquarters, where Rich is delighting in a software he created that easily allows him to replicate someone's voice and likeness. He's created a video of Patterson saying lovely things about him, to which Patterson scolds him. "You think that's a productive use of your time?" she says. "It wasn't not productive," he replies. Their wonderful back and forth is interrupted by a text from Weller, asking them to get to his apartment as soon as possible.
When they show up, they learn the truth about Jane and her reversion to Remi. "Full personality reversion" is what Patterson calls it. Weller asks about the latest data cache and any potential information about a cure, but there's not much. From what they can tell, there was one doctor that ran an experimental memory treatment, but he was shut down after his test patient died. Weller wants to find the doctor, but that's a problem too; his name's been redacted from all the medical records.
As they discuss the zip poisoning some more back at FBI headquarters, they're rudely interrupted by an alert from NORAD that says a nuclear missile, fired by a submarine in the Atlantic, is heading for New York City. They set about evacuating the city while coming up with a plan to stop the nuke. Rich takes the impending attack particularly hard, convinced he's going to die. He calls Boston, who won't pick up, and leaves him a message telling him that he loves him. Weller does the same thing for Jane, saying that he fought for her right until the end.
After Weller does some calling around and discovers that all the subs in that area are not only American subs but also have all of their nuclear missiles, Rich determines that NORAD was hacked. That means someone wanted the city and the FBI to think that an attack was about to happen. They wanted chaos, people fleeing into the streets. But why? Rich and Patterson think that tracking the location of the hack will be tough because it's probably masked and rerouted a number of times, but that's not the case. In fact, they easily find where the hack is coming from: inside the FBI. (Recap continues on next page)
Remember that ethernet cable Remi rushed to attach to an FBI server a few episodes ago? That's the source of the hack, which means Boston has been unknowingly doing Remi's bidding this whole time. When she shuts down his computer and tells him he's done, he's ecstatic, thinking he's finally passed the test to become one of the FBI's good guys, just like Rich. When Remi pulls a gun on him, he's not so ecstatic. "We're not the good guys, are we?" He can't believe he hacked NORAD and instigated a nuclear crisis, but he has bigger problems in front of him. Roman, once again making a hallucinatory appearance, tells Remi to kill Boston. Violet says they need him to escape the city. Then, Remi talks to Roman out loud, which puzzles both Boston and Violet, and sets up a neat little way to tie this whole thing together later in the episode.
Remi spares Boston because Violet is right, they need him to get out of the city. With the traffic jammed, they order Boston to hack into the traffic lights and make sure their way is nothing but green. He hacks as they go, with Remi refusing to tell him their final location. She doesn't want to risk him somehow tipping off the FBI. Little does she know that he's doing just that, in his own unique way: once they've passed through a green light, Boston changes it to yellow. The FBI notices that when they're looking at a map of the traffic in New York while trying to figure out where Remi could be headed. "Follow the yellow brick road!" shouts Rich. "He loves The Wizard of Oz."
While Zapata and Burke secure a deal for the famous hacker Del Toro, offering up a presidential assassination and $2 million in exchange for a few days work, the FBI discovers the real reason for the nuclear diversion. When there's a nuclear crisis like this, the CIA moves its black site prisoners out of the country. So, Remi must know where Shepherd is being moved. Weller follows the path laid out by Boston, and that's where we get back to the scene from the very beginning of the episode. As Remi pulls Shepherd out of the CIA's transport van and kills all the agents — Violet is shot and killed in the shootout, while Boston plays dead — Weller shows up just a bit too late. He tries to run Remi down, but she shoots out his tires, sending him careening into the woods. Remi escapes with Shepherd, while Weller and Boston make their way back to the FBI.
The mother-daughter reunion between Remi and Shepherd isn't a happy one though. Shepherd sees that Sandstorm is destroyed, so she wants to run away with Remi. She sees no point continuing their mission. Remi's a no-nonsense terrorist now, though, so she yells at Shepherd until she's got her terrorist groove back. Who knows what they have planned, but whatever it is, there's a big problem standing in the way, and that's the zip poisoning. Remi is really starting to lose it, talking out loud to Roman constantly, which worries Shepherd.
The FBI has no clue where Remi and Shepherd could be, but when Boston mentions Remi's hallucinatory interactions with her brother, Rich comes up with an idea. He uses his software to create a video of Roman asking to meet with his sister. Sure enough, Remi takes the bait, showing up at some abandoned warehouse to chat about the next stage of Sandstorm. Thus, the episode leaves us with two confrontations: in Mexico, Zapata is being held at gunpoint by Reade and Weitz. In the warehouse, Remi and Weller are literally on a collision course. The episode ends with them running toward each other, prepared to brawl, before cutting to black before the contact.

Now that it's officially spring and nearly April, festival season is among us. As much as I love a desert vacay, I'm not really into the actual music festivals. But I do love a good pool party, looking at pictures of celebs who go to the fests and of course the fashion. Something about them really makes you want to channel your inner hippie and pile on anything boho and I love it! I've partnered with Swimspot to bring you a fun festival fashion appropriate look whether you're hitting the actual events or just want to look the part at your own pool.
And guess what? Swimspot wants to take you and a friend to the mother of all music festivals (you know the one – sounds like Nutella) in Indio April 10th through 12th. All you have to do is head over to their Instagram to find out the details.
Love this look! You are making me crave warm weather!

Brought in to resuscitate the client relationship and realign the misguided project, I conducted intensive project meetings on site to define requirements and provide the appropriate solution to meet their unique needs. I designed the site architecture and provided detailed site maps, wire frames and content matrices to address requirements which previously had gone unresolved.

Maracaí é um município brasileiro do estado de São Paulo. O povoamento foi fundado em 1905, tendo sido declarado município em 19 de dezembro de 1924 e instalado em 24 de março de 1925. O topônimo significa provavelmente "rio dos chocalhos" ou "rio das maracas" em tupi. O município é formado pela sede e pelos distritos de Santa Cruz da Boa Vista e São José das Laranjeiras.

História

Em 4 de maio de 1905, José Gonçalves de Mendonça e Joaquim Gonçalves de Oliveira desceram o rio Capivara em canoas e fixando na confluência deste rio com rio cervo fundaram um povoado que gradativamente foi se espalhando pelas fecundas terras desta região. O povoado recebeu o nome de Patrocínio das Pitangueiras, passando a distrito policial do município de conceição de monte alegre. Sua padroeira, nossa senhora do patrocínio, foi escolhida em uma reunião de católicos locais. Foi elevado a distrito da paz pela lei nº 1650 de 11 de setembro de 1919 e instalada a 17 de janeiro de 1920.

Embora existam outras versões, esta é a mais provável já que o rio capivara apresentava em seu leito uma infinidade de pedras que ao sofrer o impacto das águas, lembra esse designativo.

Geografia
Maracaí esta localizada na região fisiográfica da Sorocabana, a 473 km da capital e possui uma área de 543 km². O principal acidente geográfico é o rio Capivara que nasce nas proximidades do município de Lutécia, na região denominada Tabajara, com o mesmo nome de Rio Capivara. Corta ainda o município o Rio do Cervo no centro e o Ribeirão Pitangueiras no Jardim Santa Olga.

MLB Picks Today: Red Sox at Astros ALDS Game 2
Red Sox at Astros ALDS Game 2
Welcome to day two of the MLB Playoffs! We'll be looking at the early afternoon game here, but will have picks for you for the other games. Our picks did well yesterday, as both the Astros and Indians started their homestand in the series with wins. They were both moderate favorites. Today's game between the AL East and AL West champs prices the 'Stros a tad higher.
Will the increase still make a play on them worth it?
My Team's Next MatchHouston Astros
Trying to get back on track will be tough for the Boston Red Sox on the road. Eduardo Nunez sustained an injury, so Hanley Ramirez got a chance to get some hits.
Mookie Betts and Sandy Leon also pulled their weight, but Dustin Pedroia, who ended the season going 3 for 36, continued his slump with an 0 for 3 night. Jackie Bradley Jr. isn't faring any better, also going 0 for 3, and with a 1 for 16 and 9 strikeout postseason record, things aren't looking up for the 22-year-old. It seems like the only thing going for this team right now is their bullpen, which ended the year with the 2nd lowest ERA at 3.15.
Drew Pomeranz (17-6, 3.32 ERA) gets the start, coming in having won 3 of his last 4 starts. It's only the 3rd playoff appearance for the 28-year-old, having last appeared as a reliever in the 2016 ALDS. Apart from Carlos Correa though, who is 3 for 5 against him, and Jake Marisnick, who is 4 for 12 with 2 home runs, Pomeranz has pretty good numbers against this Astros squad, going 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA against them in two starts. Career wise against Houston, the lefty has 12 appearances, seven of which were starts, with a record of 2-2 with a 3.69 ERA. He's scary on the road also, having gone 7-3 with a 3.19 ERA away from Boston.
The Houston Astros did get a great performance out of former AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander on Thursday, but Jose Altuve, the AL batting king for three of the past four years, took command and slugged three home runs in game one of the ALDS, leading his team to an 8-2 win. 'Gigante' is 12 for 24 in the regular season versus Boston, and 7 for 17 against their starter, Pomeranz. Bottom of the order Marwin Gonzalez and Brian McCann drove in 4 runs between them in game one as well.
Dallas Keuchel (14-5, 2.90 ERA) was moved to number two in the rotation after the Astros' acquisition of ace Verlander, so he gets the start on Friday.
It took him a while to fully recover from a neck injury, but he finished the season strong going 2-1 with a 2.00 ERA in his last three starts. It can't be stressed how much the 29-year-old loves Minute Maid Park, as he's 36-20 with a 2.94 ERA in his career at home, and went a flawless 15-0 with a 1.46 ERA there in 2015. The problem is against Boston, as the lefty is 0-1 with a 9.88 ERA against them in 3 apperances, 2 of which were starts.

Despite Pomeranz's excellent road record, this Astros team is simply too much for Boston at this point. Houston's offense is just unbeatable, and they will eventually get to the lefty.
Keuchel's tremendous home stats might be slightly negated because of his past records against Boston, but he's still a dominant force at home.
The 'Stros are 35-16 in Keuchel's last 51 home starts. Looking at the price, they are a bit too expensive now, but it might fall a bit before the game, so it could be a good idea to wait before you put this play in. This series is going back East with a two game lead for the Astros.
Take the Houston Astros at -164 at BODOG

The Right Reverend Fonki Samuel Forba, the moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, told BBC News that he had spoken with the kidnappers.
"They don't want any ransom. All they want is for us to close the schools. We have promised to close down the schools," Forba said.
A number of kidnappings have been carried out in the area in recent times, with another five students taken from Atiela Bilingual High School on October 19. It is not yet known who took the children in that case, however.
Clashes involving the separatists, who argue that the Cameroon school system suppresses English-speakers, have led to hundreds of deaths in the past year. Freedom-seeking militias emerged in 2017 following a government crackdown on mass protests related to the challenges English-speakers face in the North-West and South-West.
Wesco, a father of eight, who had arrived in Cameroon in October to serve as missionaries with his family, was killed when unknown assailants started shooting bullets in the car he was in with his wife, one of their sons, and another missionary.
Wesco, 43, was hit twice, and died in a Bamenda hospital despite attempts to save his life.
Human rights group Amnesty International condemned the latest kidnapping.
"These appalling abductions show just how the general population is paying the highest price as violence escalates in the Anglophone region," said Samira Daoud, Amnesty International Deputy regional director for West and Central Africa.
"The abduction of schoolchildren and teachers can never be justified. Whoever is responsible must release and return the victims immediately.
Daoud continued: "We express solidarity with the families of these children and demand that the Cameroon authorities do everything in their power to ensure all the pupils and school staff are freed unharmed."
"In a case with a chilling echo of the 2014 kidnappings of the Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria, it is vital that Cameroon's government act swiftly and decisively to reunite these children with their loved ones," she added, referring to the over 200 schoolgirls kidnapped from a Christian town by Islamic radicals Boko Haram.

Trump, Refusing to Concede: 'I Will Never Give Up Fighting for You and Our Nation'
November 6, 2020 at 01:48 PM ET
President Donald Trump, rather than conceding to Joe Biden, has just issued a statement that says he "will never stop fighting" for the American people, an apparent last-ditch effort to delay the inevitable.
One election desk has already called the race for Biden, and experts have said there is more than enough evidence Biden has won.
I don't know, but it sure seems to me like not calling the race when the outcome is obvious in states like PA and NV gives the president more time to spout misinformation.
— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) November 6, 2020
But Trump, after days of insisting vote counting must stop, now insists that the race cannot be called until every vote is counted – which reveals his lack of understanding of how math works. The race can be called when enough ballots have been counted and there are not more ballots than would change the current status.
"This is about the integrity of our entire election process," Trump falsely claims in a statement.
"From the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted, yet we've met resistance for this basic principle by Democrats at every turn," Trump claims, again falsely. Joe Biden has called for all ballots to be counted.
"I will never give up fighting for you and our nation," Trump concludes.
That last sentence is raising eyebrows.

Employer of Anti-Masker Who 'Deliberately' Coughed on Supermarket Shoppers Announces She 'No Longer Works' There
A woman who refused to wear a mask inside a Nebraska supermarket and apparently "deliberately" coughed on other customers "no longer works for" her now-former employer, software giant SAP.
The viral video, which has received over 4 million views in just two days, shows the woman, almost giddy, as she claims to have "allergies" and "maybe" a medical condition, while coughing in the direction of other shoppers who recorded her actions.
KRON reported the Nebraska town where the supermarket is located has an ordinance requiring masks, regardless of vaccination status. The report also stated she "was caught on camera appearing to deliberately cough inside a supermarket without a face mask on."
An internet sleuth identified the woman, and on Wednesday SAP announced it was "investigating." Hours later the company posted a tweet saying the woman no longer works for them, although it did not disclose any details.
We have reviewed the incident and can confirm that the individual in question no longer works for SAP.
— SAP (@SAP) September 9, 2021
In the video (below) the woman, who apparently does not understand how the coronavirus operates, can be heard saying, "I don't need to have [a mask] on, I'm not sick and neither are you."
Video of the woman was posted to Twitter by a freelance reporter who regularly exposes acts of wrongdoing:

Pelosi to Cuomo: Resign
The Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, the second most-powerful elected woman in America today wasted no time in telling New York's Democratic governor to resign.
Speaker Pelosi in a short but pointed statement released to the press told two-term Governor Andrew Cuomo he must leave office after a damning investigation by another Democrat, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, alleges he sexually harassed "multiple women," and in her view broke federal and state law.
"Under Attorney General Letitia James, a comprehensive and independent investigation into the allegations against Governor Cuomo has been completed," Speaker Pelosi said.
"As always, I commend the women who came forward to speak their truth.
"Recognizing his love of New York and the respect for the office he holds, I call upon the Governor to resign."
Related: NY Gov. Cuomo 'Sexually Harassed Multiple Women' Says State Attorney General
Other top Democrats, including the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York also called on Cuomo to quit.
As ABC News reports the list of Democrats calling for Cuomo to resign is long and growing. It also includes New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who is the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor. Several state-level elected officials also are on the list.
By comparison, even before the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump had been credibly accused of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct by dozens of women. Even after his damning comments in the "Access Hollywood" video Republicans ultimately stood by him.
Twitter Announces Massive Revenue Growth, Increase in Users After Banning Trump: Report
Social media giant Twitter has announced a massive level of growth and increase in users.
According to CNBC, Twitter revenue increased 74% this quarter, and 28% in the previous quarter. CNBC calls it "the strongest growth since 2014."
The company banned Donald Trump on January 8, "due to the risk of further incitement of violence," it said in its announcement explaining its reasons for the permanent suspension two days after Trump incited the January 6 insurrection.
Neither CNBC nor Twitter cited the ban on Trump as the reason for the increase in revenue or users, but anecdotally many have commented in the weeks and months after Trump was no longer on the site how much more enjoyable the platform was.
In April The New York Times reported on Twitter sans Trump.
"For all of the country's news consumers, a strange quiet has descended after a four-year bombardment of presidential verbiage," wrote Sarah Lyall in a Political Memo, offering these observations from several users:
"My blood pressure has gone down 20 points," said Mr. Cavalli, 71, whose obsessive hate-following of Mr. Trump ended for good when Twitter permanently barred the former president in January. "Not having to read his latest dishonest tweets has made my life so much happier."
"I legitimately slept better with him off Twitter," said Mario Marval, 35, a program manager and Air Force veteran in the Cincinnati area. "It allowed me to reflect on how much of a vacuum of my attention he became."
For Matt Leece, 29, a music professor in Bloomsburg, Pa., the Twitter suspension was akin to a clearing of the air: "It's like living in a city perpetually choked with smog, and suddenly one day you wake up and the sky is blue, the birds are singing, and you can finally take a full, nontoxic breath."
Trump in early July announced he was suing Twitter, Facebook, and Google for banning him. Experts say the lawsuit is without merit.

The Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier fight on March 8th, 1971 was billed as the "Fight of the Century" as it marked the first time that undefeated boxers would fight each other for the heavyweight title. Frazier entered the bout as the WBC/WBA champions with a perfect 26-0 record and 23 KO's. Ali was the Ring/Lineal heavyweight champion with an impressive 31-0 record and 25 KO's. The fight did not disappoint as both boxers battled it out for 15 grueling rounds and Joe Frazier was declared the winner via a unanimous decision.
The second paragraph reads in part: "WITNESSETH: That said party of the second part hereby agrees to enter into a Boxing contest at No. "Madison Sq. Garden" Street, in said City of "NY" New York, on "8" day of "March" 19 "71", for "15" rounds, to a decision, with "Joe Frazier" of the City of "Phila.", and the State of "Pa." as his opponent, at a weight not over "Hw." pounds,". The contract for Ali was for "$2,500,000" and this contract sets up the deposit in the sum of "$5,000.00".
Ali's signature has been signed in bold blue pen on the bottom right portion of this contract above the "Party of the Second Part" line and has "Boxer" and the end of his signature. This is one of the nicest Ali signatures with his later career and post career signatures display the effects of the onset of Parkinson's Disease. This contract also has the blue pen signature of Teddy Brenner, longtime Madison Square Garden executive known as the "Matchmaker" for his aptitude in bringing the best bouts to Madison Square Garden. Brenner's signature appears directly above Ali's signature and below the "Madison Sq. Garden Boxing Inc." and "Party of the First Part" lines. This contract is in good overall condition with pre-punched holes made to be stored in a legal packet. Around the pre-punched holes are minor tears, fold and crease marks, along with some edge wear, but these marks do not detract from the quality of the signatures displayed at the bottom of the page.
This contract can be compared favorably to the 1978 Muhammad Ali/Leon Spinks fight contract that sold for $35,850 in 2015. The contract offered here has much higher quality Muhammad Ali signature and the Ali/Spinks contract was sold prior to Ali's passing in 2016. This historic contract comes with a LOA from JSA for the signatures.

Scotland-based Sarawakian doctor hopes to contribute to retinal toxicity research

KUCHING, Jan 24: Sarawakian Dr Kaleena Bulan, a consultant ophthalmologist and vitreo-retinal surgeon based in Scotland is looking to contribute to retinal toxicity research with a study she has been conducting for the past 16 years.
According to a report by TVS, the 40-year-old, who has lived in Scotland for 20 years, has been conducting a long-term study of patients receiving Vigabatrin, a medication used to treat epilepsy.
Dr Kaleena said the study aims to identify whether Vigabatrin effectively treats refractory epilepsy and infantile spasms, but its use worldwide is restricted because of its toxic side effects on the retina.
"The main aim of this study is to evaluate the development of retinal toxicity over ten years because this information is important but still unknown at this time," she told TVS.
Dr Kaleena said the study was carried out by completing her doctorate (PhD) in clinical and surgical studies of optometric science from the University of Glasgow.
"Our centre previously completed one of the largest international studies investigating Vigabatrin-related retinal toxicity, distinguishing pathological from physiological effects of Vigabatrin on vision and documenting visual field defects present in 25 per cent of patients with epilepsy," she said.
Throughout her stay in Scotland, she has also been involved in several projects focusing on sight rehabilitation.
"We are working on a project called hyperspectral imaging of the eye. I have collaborated with an engineering PhD student from the University of Strathclyde while I am an ophthalmologist and a PhD student from the University of Glasgow," she said.
Through her expertise, Dr Kaleena and her partner have published several papers and been involved in various international conferences.
"Technically, engineering research tries to see how we can improve and innovate eye examination and bypass traditional methods," she said.
She also admitted that although she doesn't have the technical or analytical skills of an engineer, she could still contribute to the direction of the research to help patients in real-life situations.
She explained that although engineers and scientists may be able to produce results, they cannot be translated into the real clinical environment without expert advice from doctors.
Dr Kaleena said that 28 people participated in the study, including respondents who were patients from the Glasgow Ophthalmic Research Centre and the Epilepsy Unit in the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, and is grateful for their cooperation.
"I am also very grateful to my colleagues, Dr Linda Stephen and Professor John Paul Leach at the Glasgow Centre for Ophthalmic Research, for providing enthusiastic input, criticism, and perspective in shaping the course of this research." — DayakDaily
