We will discuss a way of explicitly constructing ribbon knots using
one-two handle canceling pairs. We will also mention how this is
related to some recent work of Yasui, namely that there are infinitely
many knots in
(S^3, std) with negative maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant for which
Legendrian surgery yields a reducible manifold.
