Bamboozle: Day One Highlights
by Jonah Bayer Apr 29, 2011 at 11:17 PM.
The first day of Bamboozle has been a work in progress for the past few years and 2011 was no different. In the past, the day has been dedicated to cover sets during the Hoodwink Festival, however this year Friday was a full-fledged show with plenty of headliners, old favorites and a few surprises tossed in as well.
Rapper Sam Adams got the party started with a flurry of hip-hop anthems while Forever The Sickest Kids powered through jams off their recently self-titled LP. The real star of Bamboozle's early hours however, was legendary soul outfit Boyz II Men who serenaded the audience with middle-school classics such as "End Of The Road," "Motown Philly" and "On Bended Knee."
In fact, even the group themselves seemed surprised at the response, remarking at one point, "We didn't know what to expect being here tonight and thank you for giving us such a warm reception," They then proceeded to hand out roses out to some of the lucky ladies in attendance. (Today's emo bands take note, this is the way that you impress a crowd.) Admittedly, it wasn't as romantic when one of the members introduced "End Of The Road" by stating, "I'm pretty sure you made a porno to this."

Katy Perry sues Australian magazine
by Emily Zemler Apr 29, 2011 at 11:55 AM.
Katy Perry has filed a lawsuit against Australian magazine NW for claiming she cheated on husband Russell Brand. The publication ran a cover story last month detailing Perry's alleged affair with producer Benny Blanco.
Perry's lawsuit, which was filed against the magazine's publishers on Wednesday in Australia's Victoria Supreme Court, claims the singer has been "gravely injured in her reputation and feelings (and) has suffered distress, embarrassment and humiliation." Perry is pursing damages for this defamation, as well as aggravated damages, which would be worth a six-figure sum if she wins, according to PopEater.
NW's March headlines read "World Exclusive: Katy's Other Man—Split Fears After Shock Revelation," stating that Perry had an "intimate relationship" with Blanco, who has produced songs for her as well as Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Mike Posner. The story cited Perry's "friend" Angela Summers and "insider" Marlon David, both of whom Perry says she's never heard of.

DALLAS - Motivational speaker and author Zig Ziglar has died in Texas. He was 86.
Ziglar's executive assistant Laurie Magers says Ziglar died Wednesday at a hospital in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
According to his Plano-based company's website, Ziglar was a World War II veteran who grew up in Yazoo City, Miss., and then went to work in sales for a series of companies, where his interest in motivational speaking grew.
Ziglar was known for corporate training and motivational speeches that aimed to improve people's personal lives and careers. His company includes more than a dozen other speakers who advocate "The Ziglar Way."
Ziglar wrote more than 30 books, including "See You at the Top" and "Over the Top."

The French Pâté Collection Perfect for a cocktail party or appetizers at a family feast, this trio is a perennial favorite and makes a lovely hostess gift.
Dry-Cured Saucisson SecServe saucisson sec with charcuterie for an ideal and easy party starter.
D'Artagnan's fresh, farm-raised Coturnix-breed quail eggs come from birds in a free-range environment. Quail eggs have a mildly gamey flavor and work well for hors d'ouevre, canapés and garnishes. Try them hard boiled, cut in half, with a little crème fraîche and caviar. Pickle them in vinegar tinted with beet juice for a dramatic presentation when sliced in half—the yellow and pink make a striking contrast. And they make the cutest little deviled eggs you've ever seen!
Safe handling instructions: To prevent illness from bacteria, keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are firm and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly.
"Soft, poached quail's eggs on crispy toast with mustardy hollandaise is the perfect brunch dish."
"Tender and delicate quail eggs crowned with caviar d'Aquitaine make an elegant hors d'oeuvre any time of year."
"Diminutive quail eggs make fabulous canapes when deviled. This version has a satisfying smoky kick."
"Don't let these teeny deviled eggs fool you, they are umami-bombs! "
"This is one of Ariane's go-to dishes for easy entertaining and a favorite among D'Artagnan staff. Whether you call it toad-in-a-hole, sunshine toast, egg-in-a-basket, eggs in a frame, or cowboy toast – when made with brioche, black truffle butter and diminutive quail eggs, we call it ridiculously delicious!"

My Recap of the Grammys
Lady Gaga. She opened the show and was a hot mess! I loved Lady Gaga's music until I saw her perform months ago. She is just too much. She does all of this with her outfits only to be talked about the next day. That's a good marketing plat. But, she can not perform! If you look at the replay of her performanc, she is super stuff! Then, she pulls Elton John into her performance and he has all kinds of dust, paint and mess on his face with sparkle sunglasses on. #FAIL!
Green Day. A Whoooooole lot of people on stage, but a good performance and great harmonies. The drummer was so into it!
Beyonce.. She made me confused. She didn't accept her award, which she received right before her performance, but could perform. #FAIL. Her weave looked a mess. Homegirl can sang tho because she tore the stage up! She sang If I were a Boy, but I'm sure I was not the only one expecting something else…like Put A Ring on It. Then, she sang a cover of Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know. It was bomb too because I love that song. What was with her rolling around on her knees though? That was a mess! P.S. Jay-Z I think you better take note of Bey's song selection. She aint singing these hate songs for nothing.
Pink. I remember Pink from way back – when she had Pink hair. I don't know what it is with her know. Barely no clothes on. When will people realize that sex is not the only way to sell!?! Besides not knowing a single word she said, her performance was awesome. I don't know if she was actually singing, but even if she was lip synching – having to do all that while twirling from the ceiling and looking graceful is enough! She must be taking some kinda intro into Cirque de Soleil class because that's the second time she's done a circus act performance. Get it girl.
Black Eyed Peas. I was so excited to see the Black Eyed Peas perform, but looks like they needed another week of practice. They sang my jam Imma Be, but when they mixed tracks to sing I Got a Feeling, the beat got allllll messed up. It took the band 5 seconds too long to catch the beat! They did get me crunk tho. Can't hate on the BEP because I love them :/
Lady Antebellum. I never heard of the group, but their song, I Need You Now, was nice. I'll be downloading their album tomorrow…
Zac Brown Band. Don't remember too much about their performance. However, they did win Best New Artist, which I don't understand how. The Ting Tings or MGMT should have taken that award. I guess I can give them props because they are from Georgia. On to the next…
Taylor Swift + Stevie Nicks = Super Fail! Taylor was super flat and sounded a ham! I can't believe they sang one song together, and then Stevie picks up a tambourine. You give a legend like that a tambourine and you need to get kicked off stage! Stevie should have run that show and had Taylor on as backup.
MJ Tribute. What about Us? Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Smokie Robinson: The first real performance of the night! 5 great singers. Well rehearsed. In tune. Flawless.
Bon Jovi. NO performance can compare to the MJ tribute. It was hard to focus after the tribute. Jennifer Nettles performed. Bon Jovi performed Living on A Prayer – which was chosen by the fans watching at home during the show.
Mary J. Blige. She sang Bridge Over Troubled Waters with Andrea Bocelli. Mary is always classy and the performance was a great duet. This was grown folks music. Not that immature, childish mess that dominates mainstream media.
Dave Matthews Band. He's. Still. Hot. He had a stage full of artists, musicians, and singers all up there to perform with him. I don't know the last time the Dave Matthews Band was nominated for a Grammy, but they will always be welcome to sing at the Grammys in my book. They are a staple of American music culture. I don't have their latest album, but the performance of You and Me was great. Will be getting tomorrow…
Maxwell. Performing live sounds just like the album version. Whew Lawd! He performed Pretty Wings and I just watched in amazement. Definitely not the best he could have been because his voice was a little hoarse, but he did exceptionally well. The performance ended with a collaboration with Roberta Flack singing Where is the Love? Roberta's voice is unchanged, sounding exactly the same as she did years ago. I pray for her because her health does not appear to be the same as she was somewhat stiff on stage and did not move. She was amazing to be performing at 72 years old. Please appreciate and recognize this musical legend while she is still with us on Earth.
I think Jeff Beck performed but I missed it. Oopps. Had to warm up a snack.
Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, and Travis Barker on the drums. This was one of the hottest performances of the night! I was super crunk when listening. I just needed the sound to be there 100% and it wasn't. I don't know if the performance was censored or if there was connection issues, but we didn't wait all night to have the sound go out. JUST WHACK!
Its 11:45 now…I'm out!

Indeed, amongst all the topics addressed in the world of work, perhaps none reflect the principles of tripartism and social dialogue better than social security. The paper analyses the process of pension reform and the role of social dialogue in ten countries, namely: China, France, Greece, Jordan, the Netherlands, Mauritius, Slovenia,Spain, Sweden and Uruguay. It also refers to other relevant country experiences, including those of Australia, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The authors examine the economic and political situation during the pre-crisis period and the subsequent measures, notably fiscal consolidation and explicit pension reforms,implemented in response to the crisis.

There is yet another highlight in store for art and media buffs in Frankfurt: for the very first time, the Schirn art gallery on Frankfurt's museum embankment is exploring the impact of the glam rock movement of the early 1970s, which was started by famous musicians such as David Bowie and Marc Bolan. Organised in collaboration with Tate Liverpool and the Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, the exhibition, entitled 'Glam! The Performance of Style', shows the wide-ranging influence that the glam era had on film, photography, fashion, graphic design, performance and installation art, painting and sculpture.
In addition to the Schirn, Frankfurt offers an exceptional collection of museums along the southern bank of the river Main.
Have you always dreamed of watching cowboys and Indians fight it out with bows and arrows and guns – just like in the movies?
Then be sure not to miss the Karl May Festival in Bad Segeberg, which recreates the days of the American Wild West. Now in its 61st year, this annual event is always a big hit with visitors, whether young or old. With impressive stunts, breathtaking pyrotechnic effects and superb acting, the festival brings to life the stories of Winnetou in 1870s America. The festival is on from 22 June to 1 September 2013 at Bad Segeberg's open-air theatre, which has capacity for 7,500 people. Yeehaw!
Visitors to the island of Rügen can look forward to a brand-new tourist attraction opening in May 2013: a treetop walk at the beach resort of Prora. The path, which winds its way through the trees above the rooftops of the island, is a fantastic experience for the whole family and also forms part of the new natural heritage centre on Germany's biggest island.
From an 80-metre-high viewing tower shaped like a giant bird's nest, visitors will be able to see vast swathes of Rügen – from the flint fields to the World Heritage beech forests in Jasmund National Park.
The former Carlshütte foundry provides a unique setting for NordArt, one of Europe's largest exhibitions of contemporary art, which is taking place this year from 8 June to 6 October. The foundry halls seem almost out of place against the natural landscape – but it is exactly these contrasts that make the foundry such a perfect venue for the event, an annual fixture since 1999. The exhibition shows a creative side to northern Germany, which is so often portrayed as rather bleak and rugged. The exhibition rooms available here offer the 200-plus artists from all over the world an opportunity to showcase their work in an appropriate environment.
The Potsdam Schlösserlauf (Potsdam Palaces Run), organised by Sportbund Potsdam e.V., is holding its tenth-anniversary event on 2 June 2013. For running enthusiasts and active holidaymakers this presents an ideal opportunity to visit the regional capital of Brandenburg. There is a half-marathon or 10km race, both of which are open to race walkers and Nordic walkers.
And away from the course as well, Potsdam is well worth a visit. Whether it's the Russian Alexandrowka colony or the wonderful rococo Palace of Sanssouci, where Frederick the Great once lived – there is much to marvel at in this former seat of the Prussian rulers. At the top of the list for families is the nearby Babelsberg Film Studios, where famous films such as 'Die Feuerzangenbowle' were made.
Narrow lanes with medieval half-timbered buildings, ancient abbeys and churches, Roman monuments, vineyards and castles – this is what makes Germany such a romantic destination. Thirteen historical cities in Germany have joined forces to create the Historic Highlights of Germany association. It puts the focus on destinations that have a particularly prominent history and strong appeal to visitors: in cities such as Freiburg, Trier and Münster, you can experience a wonderful blend of tradition and modernity. Don't miss the chance to take a tour through Germany's history and discover its many romantic cities – perhaps on a special occasion like a honeymoon.
Thomas Mann, who was born in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, is one of the greatest German writers of all time. The city is home to Buddenbrooks House, named after Mann's Nobel Prize-winning novel 'Buddenbrooks'. Here you can find out all kinds of interesting information about the life, work and family of the famous novelist. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty this year, Buddenbrooks House is hosting a special exhibition from 14 June to 13 November 2013 about Buddenbrooks House and Heinrich Mann (Thomas Mann's brother) and his connection to France.
Afterwards, a stroll through Lübeck's old quarter, awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO®, is a wonderful opportunity to get to know the city's many facets. A walk past Lübeck's most famous landmark, the Holsten Gate, with a piece of the finest Lübeck marzipan in your hand – there is no better way to see the city!
It is going to get loud in Nuremberg's Dutzendteich Park from 1 to 3 June 2013 when the city hosts its annual Rock im Park music festival. The festival, which runs at the same time as Rock am Ring, is one of the biggest events in Germany, attracting nearly 80,000 people. Every year since 1997, fans of live music have been flocking to the festival and partying to the sounds of more than 60 well-known bands. This year's line-up includes world-famous acts such as Green Day as well as popular German pop and rock bands.
If you prefer something a little quieter, be sure to visit the beautiful centre of Nuremberg. With its picturesque buildings and countless museums – the Albrecht Dürer House for example – it has plenty to offer culturally minded visitors. And in winter, the Christmas market is a magical experience for all.
Following the success of the existing Discovery Centre in Berlin a new centre will be opening its doors in May 2013 in Oberhausen. Painstaking attention to detail has transformed this indoor park into a paradise for kids. Whether it's fighting off evil trolls with laser guns, singing on the LEGO® karaoke stage or seeing colourful pellets turned into those famous little bricks at the live factory show – there's something for everyone at the Discovery Centre. And after all those energetic activities you might feel like grabbing a bite to eat in the café or taking it easy in the 4D cinema.
As an alternative (or in addition), other attractions in the area include Sealife and Germany's biggest shopping centre, Centro Oberhausen. It's a mecca for shoppers, and also gives parents something to look forward to.
Ever wanted to touch a life-sized dinosaur or get close to prehistoric reptiles that still walk the earth today? Then head to the Klimahaus in Bremerhaven between 15 March and 3 November 2013 for an exhibition exploring 'Prehistoric Creatures – the Limits of Evolution'. It's a day out the whole family will enjoy.
Bremerhaven boasts plenty of other attractions too, including the German Emigration Centre. In the early 20th century, thousands of people passed through this city on the North Sea as they set sail across the 'pond' to embark on a new life in the distant land of America. This fascinating history is brought to life at the museum.

EDITORIAL | Sensible Republican welcome on board
January 11, 2013 · Updated 2:56 PM
Oh what a relief it is. We're not talking about Alka-Seltzer, we're talking about the new Republican on the Island County Board of Commissioners.
Jill Johnson, Republican from Oak Harbor, took over this month from Democrat Angie Homola, whom she defeated at the polls in November. Being a Republican, Johnson will likely lighten up on Homola's environmental activism and spend more time promoting growth, which is fine. That's probably what the majority wanted.
But what sets Johnson apart is her rational brand of Republicanism, which is as refreshing as it is traditional. There's no comparison between her and incumbent Republican Kelly Emerson from District 3, who should more rightly be described as a Tea Party member, not a member of the Republican party.
The first difference between the two Republicans came last week when the county had to decide on accepting the donation of 300-feet of prime waterfront at Mutiny Bay from Frank Robinson, who was raised here and went on to found a helicopter company in California. Emerson was against it on the lame premise that it would reduce taxes collected by the county. Besides, Tea Party members to a large extent are against public ownership of property.
Johnson had the good sense not to turn down this invaluable gift of waterfront to the people of Whidbey Island. It is a rare beach of pure sand — white in the summer — which already has a public boat launch and public parking area. Accepting this tremendously generous offer from the Robinson family was a no-brainer, at least for someone who isn't an ideologue. She joined Democrat Helen Price Johnson in assuring this beach will remain in the public domain forever.
The second issue was Emerson's desire to serve as chairwoman of the Board of Island County Commissioners. It's usually a rotating position, and it was Emerson's "turn" last year. She lost her bid because she is facing a minimum $37,000 fine for violating the wetlands ordinance on her Camano Island property.
Johnson struggled a bit more with this issue, not wanting to entirely turn her back on another Republican. But she voted against Emerson's chairmanship for now, giving her several months to hopefully clear up her legal conflict with county planning officials.
For many years Republicans ran Island County and most of them were sensible people. It's nice to have another one back on the job.

An acronym is only an acronym if you say it like a word
What's the difference between the words NASA and CEO? Although each letter represents a word in both cases, one is an acronym and the other is an initialism.
Almost every English-speaking person will have confused this at some point. It's easy to be confused, especially considering how often the proper name for a non-pronounceable acronym, initialism, is so underused.
You may still be a bit confused about when to use each word. As you should already know, an abbreviation is when a word is shortened and put together. An initialism is when this is done by taking the first letter of each word and spelling them out. An acronym is when the initialism can be pronounced as a word.
Now you know what the correct terms are. Although, if you don't want to have to explain yourself constantly, it's probably better to just say acronym.

I need a dedicated FM antenna. It must be mounted in the attic and I don't want to get a rotator.
All of my receivable stations are located in one direction, within a 40 degree arc from my location. Most of these stations are 25 to 35 miles away but one is almost 60 miles.
My two questions:
Is the HD-6055P FM antenna too directional for my situation, or will it work well for me?
Might the HD-6000 do just as well for me as the HD-6055P?

It was a schism that led to the formation of the establishment-approved Women's Tennis Association in 1973 -- which will be marked this year by the WTA's "40 Love" commemorative campaign, a celebration of four decades of progress in the women's game.
It was the start of a circuit that now covers the globe. This year's schedule began with simultaneous events in China, Australia and New Zealand, and will climax with the season-ending championships in Turkey in late October.
The 2012 Istanbul showpiece attracted the event's biggest crowds for 12 years, in a country not known for its tennis heritage, while China will host a fifth WTA tournament from 2014.
"We are obviously seeing extensive growth in our Asia-Pacific territory and in China. We are looking at how we take the next quantum leap," said Allaster.
"We are making sure that at the end of the day we have a circuit structure that can consistently deliver to our top events, because that's how we're going to drive the business, to deliver to sponsors and broadcasters."
And it is becoming a very big business.
King was the first woman to earn six figures in a season, back in 1971. Last year world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka and Williams both became the first to break the $7 million barrier.
In the men's game, only Novak Djokovic ($12.8 million) and Roger Federer ($8.6 million) earned more on court.
The brand of women's tennis has been driven by the WTA's "Strong is Beautiful" campaign, which depicts the players both as athletes and style icons -- along with celebrity endorsers such as singers Aretha Franklin and Kelly Rowland, actress Susan Sarandon and businessmen Donald Trump and Richard Branson.
"We're marketing the players as the world's strongest female athletes," Allaster said. "We do have this duality of the off-court lifestyle and entertainment part of it, premium and glamorous. Strong confident women who have endured intense battles to be at the top of their game and be the best in the world."

Health Information
Antihistamines for Itching From Chickenpox
What To Think About
If you use antihistamines, carefully follow the directions on the label. Check with your child's doctor before you give them to your child. Children tend to be more sensitive to the effects of antihistamines.
- Serious side effects, such as Reference seizures Opens New Window, are more likely to occur in infants and young children.
- Having nightmares or unusual excitement, or being nervous, restless, or cranky may be more likely in children than in adults.
- Antihistamines have side effects that can cover up signs of serious complications of chickenpox. Some of these side effects include feeling sleepy and having hallucinations.
Avoid using antihistamines that are applied directly to the skin. You may accidentally apply too much medicine, which can be harmful.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Reference Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements.

First Steps in Chess Technique - Andrew Martin
This DVD is for anyone who knows the rules of chess but would like to be able to improve their game with some specific tactics and strategies. It builds on the basic principles of chess that should have already been learnt. However, there is also an introductory chapter for those that may have gaps in this part of their foundation. The main part of the DVD is split into four chapters: Opening – The general principles of the opening are discussed here. No specific opening repertoire is suggested but a guide of how to tackle any opening and come through the first stage of the game in a better position. Middlegame – Some basic tactical devices are introduced such as the pin, fork, skewer and discovered attack. These devices are used throughout the levels of chess and even top grandmaster games are won from a basic device as these. Ending – The basic checkmating technique of the most common endings that occur in novice games are instructed here. These techniques are essential to master before continuing with more complex checkmates. Test – The DVD finishes with a test chapter which consists of 20 exercises based on the information discussed throughout the DVD. Each exercise allows time for you to pause and calculate the answer before the answer is discussed. This DVD is a must for anyone who wants to improve their game, whether they are a junior or an adult. It can be for those who have just learnt the moves or for those who have played for some time but want to consolidate their knowledge. Video running time: 4 hours 15 min.

I finally decided to get on the bandwagon with a chevron quilt. I have seen many different techniques out there to create a chevron pattern. I checked them out and decided to go at it using half square triangles. I used the traditional method of drawing a line down the middle and then sewing a 1/4″ to either side.
Since then, I saw this amazing tutorial by Camille Roskelley of Simplify that changed everything!
I have not yet tried this method, but I can't wait to use it.
Here's the quilt laid out on my design wall (i.e. mirrored closet door with cotton batting spray glued to it…shhh…don't tell my husband.)
Here's the binding in progress…I am back to hand binding. I like the look and feel better. Plus, I like the process of hand binding.
Here she is all finished. This quilt measures 41″ square. I just love it!
I used this adorable tiny bee fabric for the back that I have had in my stash for years.
Here's the entire quilt. I love the color way and the combination of colors. I like this so much that I can't wait to make another chevron quilt!
Here it is in my favorite photo spot on my gate!
This quilt is up on my etsy site for sale if you are interested!
This was such a fun and simple quilt to make! Enjoy!

Surgical Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement
Original MPC Approval:
Last Review:
Last Revision:
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a structural abnormality in the hip joint that results in articulation abnormality of the femoral head and the acetabular rim. During flexion, altered mechanics result in compression of the labrum and / or articular cartilage in the acetabulum, with tearing and inflammation. Degenerative joint disease develops with inflammation, hip and groin pain, and decreased range of motion on flexion and internal rotation. Two different types of impingement, known as cam impingement, and pincer impingement, have been identified. In cam impingement, there is an asymmetric or nonspherical contour of the femoral head or neck that abuts against the acetabulum, resulting in cartilage damage and detachment from the subchondral bone. Pincer impingement is an overcoverage of the acetabulum that pinches and injures the labrum. The two types of impingement may occur singly or together. Impingement with damage to the labrum and / or acetabulum is felt to be a contributing factor to development of osteoarthritis of the hip, and that a significant percentage of patients with primary hip osteoarthritis may have been caused by FAI. The disease mainly appears to affect young to middle-aged adults, particularly those who engage in strenuous athletic activity.
Treatment of FAI is usually initiated with conservative therapies, including reduced activity and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Physical therapy is usually not done because it aggravates the condition. Surgery is considered for patients that do not improve with conservative management.
The surgical technique for correcting the structural defects was first performed using an open technique that involved complete disarticulation of the hip joint. More recently, an arthroscopic technique is used wherein the femoral head is distracted from the joint to the point where the surgeon can inspect the articular surfaces thoroughly, and perform the necessary resection of overhanging acetabulum, trim torn labrum, and / or debride the cam area of the femoral head.
Open or arthroscopic surgery to treat femoroacetabular impingement is considered
medically necessary
. (See Provider Guidelines).
Policy Guidelines
1. The technology must have final approval from the appropriate government regulatory bodies:
Osteoplasty and cartilage repairs of the hip joint are surgical procedures, and are therefore not subject to FDA regulation. The instruments used, e.g. arthroscopes, burrs, shavers etc,, as well as fasteners are subject to regulation by FDA, and a wide variety of surgical tools and hardware are available.
2. The scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect on health outcomes:
No randomized, controlled studies of FAI surgery have been found in a search of the peer-reviewed medical literature. There have been few prospective case series reported on outcomes using the open technique. Beck et al (2004) reported outcomes from 19 patients with confirmed clinical, radiographic, and MRI diagnosis of FAI after at least four years of follow-up post surgery. All had had labral damage, and 18/19 had acetabular damage. Five patients had undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the remaining 13 were reported to have good to excellent outcomes. Peters et al (2006) reported outcomes of a prospective series of 30 hips (29 patients). 26 hips (25 patients) were diagnosed specifically with primary FAI. The 30 hips had either cam-type impingement (n=14) or mixed cam- and pincer-type impingement (n=15). 18 hips had severe cartilage damage not seen on MRI. At average 32 months follow-up, no progression to osteoarthritis (OA) was reported in 68% of the patients, but 4 (13%) subsequently developed OA. Five hips (17%) were expected to undergo THA. Two small retrospective studies (n=23 and 34, respectively) that included patients with severe cartilage damage reported that 50% to 70% of patients improved and 30% to 50% failed following open osteochondroplasty with dislocation. (Beaulé et al, 2007; Murphy et al, 2004).
The arthroscopic approach to FAI has only recently been developed. The literature search identified 4 prospective case series with at least 100 patients/hips, and one controlled cohort study. The largest prospective series was by Byrd and colleagues (2009) who reported on 200 patients/207 hips who had been treated arthroscopically for impingement from 2004-2007. Included were 163 hips with cam-type impingement, and 44 hips with combined cam- and pincer-type impingement. At 12 months, 100% were available for follow-up. At average 16 month follow-up, patients showed an average of 20 points improvement on the 91-point modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS). 83% of the group were considered improved. One patient underwent THA, and 3 required revision surgery. Philippon et al (2009) reported 2.3 year follow-up on 100 of 122 patients prospectively enrolled who underwent hip arthroscopy for FDI. 22 were lost to follow-up. Of the 100 remaining, 90 improved on the MHHS from average 58 to 84. 10 required THA. The authors noted that patients with a joint space of less than 2 mm were more likely to progress to the need for THA. Larson and Giveans (2008) reported outcomes of from 3 months to 3 years follow-up from a consecutive series of 96 patients/100 hips who presented with FAI between 2004 and 2007. Cam impingement was present in 17 hips, pincer impingement in 28, and mixed impingement in 55 hips. Following FAI surgery, impingement was reported to be improved in 86% of patients with 75% good-to-excellent. Three patients required THA. Pain improved significantly based on a visual analog scale. A small cohort study by Bardakos et al (2009) compared results from 24 patients treated for cam impingement with 47 patients with cam impingement, but underwent only repair of the labrum. There was a trend for improved MHHS outcomes in patients who were treated for cam impingement in addition to labrum repair. The results for 156 patients were reported by Sampson et al (2005), which was a preliminary study on the newly-developed technique. The authors state that for the majority of patients, pain relief was 50% after 6-12 weeks, 75% at 5 months, and 95% at one year.
The published evidence is limited, but permits some conclusions regarding health outcomes of patients with FAI. Surgical treatment is most effective in younger patients who are symptomatic, but without significant osteoarthritis or severe cartilage damage. There is a high probability that those with severe damage will not improve significantly following surgery, and may eventually require THA. The case series suggest that younger patients with moderate cartilage damage and without significant OA can attain improvement in the 75% to 85% range.
3. The technology must improve the net health outcome:
While the limited evidence in the literature permits some conclusions that patients with symptomatic FAI can benefit from surgery, there remain issues that may have an effect on net health outcomes. FAI has been recognized as a diagnostic entity only recently, and not a great deal is known about the natural course of the disease. While there appears to be an association with FAI and the development of OA, it is not known whether those with FAI morphology are more likely to have OA than those without, or which patients with FAI morphology are most likely to progress to OA. Those with cam-type impingement may follow a different time frame to further OA degeneration than pincer-type impingement. As there are limited outcomes data over short-to-intermediate terms, it is not fully known whether the treatment will reduce the occurrence of OA. Finally, it is not known whether the open or arthroscopic result in better outcomes and under what conditions. The open procedure is not without risks. In the series reported, the dislocation of the hip joint involves transection of the femoral neck, and nonunion was a complication reported in 27% of the patients studied (Peters et al, 2006).
4. The technology must be as effective as any established alternatives:
There are no surgical alternatives to either the open or arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. The only alternative is reduction of physical activity and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Physical therapy is of no benefit, and is likely to aggravate the condition. Therefore one must consider that if the FAI pathology is not addressed surgically, there is the potential for worsening of the cartilage damage, to progression of osteoarthritis to a stage where a total hip resurfacing or total hip arthroplasty must be considered.
5. The improvement must be attainable outside the investigational settings:
At the present time surgery for FAI is still fairly new, and whether the open or arthroscopic technique is used, is a procedure that requires a high degree of technical skill. It is apparently not yet widely performed, and the number of surgeons trained in this technique is small. FAI has only recently been identified, so its prevalence in the population is still not well known. Therefore questions remain as to whether the degree of improvement reported in the case series can be expected outside of the investigational settings.
Update 2011:
A search of the peer-reviewed literature was performed from June 2009 through June 2011. Findings in the recent literature support the medical necessity of surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. Open or arthroscopic surgery remains medically necessary as outlined in the policy statement.

Searching for accommodation in Venice meant wading through websites offering a fearful combination of the fussy, the twee and the bland. Then, somehow, we stumbled across the self-described 'Cool Venice Apartment' on Facebook. Set in the Cannaregio district of Venice (a five minute walk from Ca d'Oro), the apartment is owned by a group of like-minded friends who pooled together for a two-bedroom pad in Venice. (And why wouldn't you?)
Great things about the location – Venice is tiny so once you get your head around the maze factor everything is within walking distance. For us it made sense to steer clear of the heavily touristed San Marco and set ourselves up near useful things such as a bakery, supermarket, well-priced cicheti bars and some of Venice's best restaurants! Staying around here will also enable you to soak up the neighbourhood atmosphere without too much danger of being elbowed by tour groups over breakfast.
Traditional Venetian flats are set over three floors – the first floor is essentially an entry way/storage area with staircase (left vacant presumably as a flood precaution), second floor is the living area and the third floor is for bedrooms. In this case the flat occupies only the first two floors, but is nonetheless extremely generous in size. While the master bedroom is a bit bigger with more clothes storage the second bedroom (with twin beds) is very light and spacious so there's really no need for anyone to feel like they've drawn the short straw. The flat has lovely views from most rooms, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the bathroom has a jacuzzi (noisy, but after all that walking around its worth a try at least once).
