Hitting the Floor With Fandango, the WWE's Latest Craze-Inducing Sensation
WWE Raw
June 3, doors 6:30 p.m., XL Center, One Civic Center Plaza, Hartford, xlcenter.com, $15-$95.
Read our Q&A with Fandango here
If you remember one thing and one thing only about Fandango, it should be this: You must let the A's breathe when saying his name. "You've got to feel it in your chest," advises Johnny Curtis (a.k.a. Curtis Jonathan Hussey), the Maine native behind the WWE character, before giving a demo in his trademark whisper. "Faaaaahn-daaaaaahn-gggoohhhhh. You've gotta feel it, bro." On WWE television, he implicitly encourages everyone who speaks his name to keep trying until they nail it, but good luck getting your enunciation good enough for his approval. At this point, no one can pronounce Fandango's name properly except Fandango, and the mere notion that he can and you can't is just one more tactic he uses to show his general superiority. The game is rigged in his favor.
The pronunciation aspect is one of the many absurdities that make up Fandango, a character whose very existence hinges on an absurdity. (He's part ballroom dancer, part wrestler.) His entrance music is a jaunty instrumental that mimics the "I Dream of Jeannie" theme, and once he gets done with sauntering/dancing into the ring, a giant lit-up silhouette of himself is usually waiting to greet him. He's always accompanied by an attractive female dancer (the latest of whom seems destined to leave him for someone else). Imagine Antonio Banderas' Zorro as a dashing, sly rake who has traded his sword and distinct outfit for a smirk and gaudy wrestling gear, and you're getting warmer.
But the ultimate example of Fandango-related absurdity unfolded without Curtis's doing. On the April 8 episode of "WWE Monday Night Raw" — the latest edition of which broadcasts live on USA Network from the XL Center on June 3 — Fandango was involved in a segment where his rival Chris Jericho assaulted him. One night earlier, Curtis both made this character's in-ring debut and scored a pivotal win over Jericho at WrestleMania 29, WWE's biggest spectacle. What happened on that Raw in New Jersey post-beatdown was even more remarkable. As Fandango laid in the ring dazed (still making sure to correct the ring announcer's pronunciation, of course), his theme hit. The loud, clear and coordinated crowd — a substantial contingent of whom had traveled internationally for WrestleMania — began singing the opening bars of Fandango's song, soccer-chant-style. Later in the show, they reprised it just for fun. Once Raw ended and production replayed the song for the exiting audience, people sang it as they filed out, and then reproduced it in packed traffic using car horns, and chanted it in subway cars. (There's video evidence of all this.) Soon, galvanized U.K. fans pushed "ChaChaLaLa" (the formal name for the in-house-created song) up the English pop charts, and "Fandagoing" — an act in which someone sings the tune, points their fingers upward and shimmies — temporarily became a thing on YouTube. Though the energy has since dimmed considerably, WWE continues to pump his theme music for crowds after shows, perhaps hoping to relight that memetic fire.
It's tough to relate to non-wrestling fans just how striking and important a move like this was. The popularity of Fandangoing is murky to discern — maybe the fans did it because they adored Curtis or they liked the catchy theme or they wanted to troll WWE by cheering a heel or any number of elements — but either way, the move impacted Curtis' young career. "I almost started smiling when they were doing it just because that 'Monday Night Raw' was unbelievable. For me being a wrestling fan, that was one of those crowds that kind of reminds me of the old ECW [Extreme Championship Wrestling] arena where the fans became part of the show. Anyone that got to go out there that Monday night after 'Mania got to enjoy that crowd. First thought in my head was, 'Oh, can we make some money off of this?' That's all I thought about honestly," says Curtis, who is much more affable once slipping out of character. Shortly after that Raw, he and WWE trekked to Europe for a tour. "The crowd reaction over there was unbelievable, so maybe I'm like the new Hasselhoff where I'm just big over in Europe."
This kind of break was a major boon for Curtis, 31, who is billed at 6 feet, 4 inches and 244-pounds and had a so-so WWE run before Fandango came along. Curtis became a fan of wrestling during the late 1990s/early 2000s boom and was around 15 years old when he caught a wrestling-themed episode of the MTV doc series "True Life." The show featured the New England-based Eastern Wrestling Alliance. As big wrestling fans who were amazed by how close this company was to them, Curtis and his friends tracked down EWA management and began to worm their way into the fold. Curtis went from setting up chairs and tables to refereeing to training as a wrestler. His journey through wrestling to WWE is littered with dramatic ups and downs — the chief down of which was when his close friend and fellow wrestler Kevin Mailhot died in a 2005 auto accident. (Though the caddish Fandango was clearly promoted as a heel during WrestleMania, Curtis still came out for the match with "Kevin" written across his wrist tape.) Along his route upward, Curtis also had jobs lugging bricks and working at Applebee's.
In WWE, Curtis appeared — and won — a major competition on the upstart-talent-oriented program "NXT" but otherwise languished without any real direction or character. He briefly had a bizarre, cringe-inducing persona where he would interpret idioms literally, doing things like referencing "crying over spilled milk" while emptying a half-gallon of the stuff over himself and pretending to weep.
For as much of a phenomenon as it has produced, even Fandango had a bad early omens with the text on a pre-debut vignette for the character advertising him as "Fandangoo." Curtis also discusses how Vince McMahon initially envisioned him as a Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing-like stripper who was then 86'ed because it was too risque for the currently PG WWE. McMahon revamped Fandango into the ballroom dancer of today, and Curtis gamely took on his new role. "Thing is, if you can play a hard character, a real complicated character like this or the Undertaker — anything that's really far out there — I think you can make money with it if you really embrace it, you know what I'm saying? If you just go into it not really into it, people are going to see right through it and see just a guy playing a character. I'm like, 'This is an opportunity I've been waiting for 13, 14 years. I've either got to really embrace this thing or just go back to working for EWA in Maine making 50 bucks a night,'" he says before I bring up one of his old jobs. "Or Applebee's, and I'm not doing that, bro."

High-Availability Storage With GlusterFS On Debian Lenny - Automatic File Replication Across Two Storage Servers - Page 2
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Sun, 2009-06-07 18:02. ::
3 Setting Up The GlusterFS Client
On the client, we need to install fuse and GlusterFS. Instead of installing the libfuse2 package from the Debian repository, we install a patched version with better support for GlusterFS.
First we install the prerequisites again:
aptitude install sshfs build-essential flex bison byacc libdb4.6 libdb4.6-dev
Then we build fuse as follows (you can find the latest patched fuse version on ftp://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/):
cd /tmp
Afterwards we build GlusterFS (just like on the server)...
cd /tmp
make && make install
... and create the following two directories:
mkdir /mnt/glusterfs
Next we create the file /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol:
vi /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol
Make sure you use the correct server hostnames or IP addresses in the option remote-host lines!
That's it! Now we can mount the GlusterFS filesystem to /mnt/glusterfs with one of the following two commands:
glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs
mount -t glusterfs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs
You should now see the new share in the outputs of...
client1:/tmp/glusterfs-2.0.1# mount
... and...
df -h
client1:/tmp/glusterfs-2.0.1# df -h
(server1.example.com and server2.example.com each have 19GB of space for the GlusterFS filesystem, but because the data is mirrored, the client doesn't see 38GB (2 x 19GB), but only 19GB.)
Instead of mounting the GlusterFS share manually on the client, you could modify /etc/fstab so that the share gets mounted automatically when the client boots.
Open /etc/fstab and append the following line:
vi /etc/fstab
To test if your modified /etc/fstab is working, reboot the client:
After the reboot, you should find the share in the outputs of...
df -h
... and...
4 Testing
Now let's create some test files on the GlusterFS share:
touch /mnt/glusterfs/test1
Now let's check the /data/export directory on server1.example.com and server2.example.com. The test1 and test2 files should be present on each node:
ls -l /data/export
server1:~# ls -l /data/export
Now we shut down server1.example.com and add/delete some files on the GlusterFS share on client1.example.com.
shutdown -h now
touch /mnt/glusterfs/test3
The changes should be visible in the /data/export directory on server2.example.com:
ls -l /data/export
server2:/tmp/glusterfs-2.0.1# ls -l /data/export
Let's boot server1.example.com again and take a look at the /data/export directory:
ls -l /data/export
server1:~# ls -l /data/export
As you see, server1.example.com hasn't noticed the changes that happened while it was down. This is easy to fix, all we need to do is invoke a read command on the GlusterFS share on client1.example.com, e.g.:
ls -l /mnt/glusterfs/
client1:~# ls -l /mnt/glusterfs/
Now take a look at the /data/export directory on server1.example.com again, and you should see that the changes have been replicated to that node:
ls -l /data/export
server1:~# ls -l /data/export

Top Local Tips for Naples
Pompeii The tours to Pompei are really expensive, so it´s better you go to the Central Station and take the Circumvesuviana Train, wich is very cheap (something like 5 euros) and leads you literally to the door of the historical site in about 45 minutes. The train is old, but for this price it´s a very nice option! Just be aware to the time you leave Pompeii, because there are train only in a half-hour or 40-minute basis, so if you loose one, it´s gonna be a great time without nothing to do waiting for the other. And take a bottle of water and a sandwich with you, because inside of the site and in the restaurant in front of it they are soooo expensive and pretty bad taste.
Take Care Check taxi fares from the airport with the driver. On Sunday fares are double but nothing is said until you arrive at the destination.Naples is very busy for traffic so allow plenty of time for journeys and taxis are expensive.
Aerobus from Airport Aerobus leaves from in front of the airport and runs to both the main railway station and Castel Nuovo for the harbour. If you want to do the museums in Naples there is a 3 day museum/travel card you can buy at the airport and this includes the Aerobus.

The Senate has now adjourned until tomorrow, but before it did, there were a couple of announcements: The JFAC meeting scheduled for 8 a.m. tomorrow has been canceled, because several members are on the Senate Ethics Committee that's meeting at the same time; it's been reset for Wednesday at 8 a.m.
Also, Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, announced that Stanton Health Care, a crisis pregnancy center, will sponsor a live ultrasound demonstration in the state Capitol on Wednesday afternoon entitled, "Voices from the Womb." Three Stanton clients, one in each trimester of pregnancy, will participate, Nuxoll said. "Idaho will be the first state in the nation to have a live ultrasound display in the Statehouse," she said; however, Ohio's Statehouse hosted a similar demonstration last year, and activists staged a similar demonstration on Capitol Hill last fall. The Idaho demonstration will take place in room WW 53 on the lower level of the state Capitol from noon to 2:30 p.m., Nuxoll said. You can read my full story here on today's Senate passage of SB 1387, the pre-abortion ultrasound bill.

Meet Your Superdelegates: Congressman Avery
Posted by John Pegway | Posted in superdelegates | Posted on 28-02-2008
We continue our special in-depth educational series, Meet Your Superdelegates. A rare chance to get to know specific superdelegates who will be deciding the Democratic presidential nominee. We're focusing on party elders, government officials, senior advisors, and other high profile politicians who feature prominently in television and film. And we boldly speculate who they will back at the Democratic convention. Today's superdelegate profile comes from the breakthrough TV sitcom sensation, "The Bob Newhart Show."
Very little is known about the elusive Illinois Congressman Avery, other than at one point he says, "Hi, Bob." So we'll leave him as undecided between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

At a Glance
A registration quality assurance initiative-whether manual or automated-can result in benefits such as:
As an industry, we've made great strides in developing innovative technologies for patient account management, which has significantly improved the financial picture of many hospitals. Many of the technologies focus on the back end of the revenue cycle: claims editing management, remittance and denial management, and contract management. In other words, we are managing the same problems over and over again-problems that start at the front end of the revenue cycle, during registration.
Why manage when there is a better solution-prevent?
Consider that 70 percent of a claim form is generated during the registration process. Often, there is high turnover in registration areas, which leaves the registration departments in constant training mode. When staffing in registration is short, hospitals tend to cut the detailed training that is needed and initiate "all-hands-on-deck" mode, resulting in on-the-job training for new registration staff. What happens if the "trainer" for a new staff member was not trained completely or correctly? The downfall begins.
Implementing a quality assurance (QA) process in registration-whether a manual process or an automated process-can improve morale and reduce complaints, denials, and rework. At Thomas Hospital in Fairhope, Ala., a QA initiative in registration reduced the cost to collect and days in A/R, significantly decreased the registration error rate, eliminated monthly outsourcing fees, increased point-of-service collections, and resulted in cleaner claims.
A time and motion study performed at Springhill Medical Center in Mobile, Ala., found that the average amount of time for a billing representative to identify, research, and correct one error was 10 minutes (Shorrosh, P., 2004 study). Let's say it costs the hospital $15 per hour, on average, for a single billing staff member, taking into consideration salary, benefits, and overhead. If it takes an average of 10 minutes to correct one registration error, each error costs the hospital $2.50 to correct.
How much is a hospital that registers 300,000 patients a year with a 25 percent error rate spending on managing denials? Based on this information, the hospital could be spending $180,000 on back-end rework and denials management! What would happen if we took that money and invested it in a dedicated front-end QA process that prevented those denials from ever occurring, and in the process, reduced the number of errors being made?
Let's expand this analysis a little further and identify the potential loss of revenue due to these errors. If only 4 percent of the hospital's accounts had fatal errors caused by registration, this hospital would have encountered $39 million in denials, equating to $13.5 million of potential revenue at risk for write-off (based on an average charge of $3,250 with a 35 percent reimbursement-to-charge ratio). If only 5 percent of the fatal errors were caught, corrected, and recovered through a QA program, the hospital would save $675,000 from potential write-offs. In other words, every $1 spent on registration accuracy could save up to $10 in rework, denials management, and write-offs. In addition to the dollars saved, the frustration level in the patient accounts department would be dramatically reduced, creating a more productive and happier place for all.
Whether you are developing a manual QA program or a fully automated program, here are 10 tips for getting started.
Identify and understand your facility's top 30 registration errors (in terms of greatest financial impact). There are three ways to collect this information:
Be sure to focus on the issues that are the responsibility of registration. Talk with your business office staff about the errors they most frequently encounter, such as missing or incorrect identification numbers, patient relationship to subscriber, and minor guarantor. The goal of the business office is to get claims out the door as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this means business office staff do not always have time to inform registration staff of the errors they are making. By talking with business staff about the registration errors they most frequently encounter, your organization will obtain valuable data needed to help correct problems in registration.
Dedicate and train an adequate number of QA specialists to audit 30 percent to 100 percent of your accounts. If you decide to begin a manual QA process, a rule of thumb is that one FTE can review 24,000 to 48,000 accounts per year or 50 to 100 per day, depending on the depth of review. Of course, if you decide to start an automated QA program, fewer FTEs will be needed, and more errors will be identified.
In 2002, Thomas Hospital dedicated one FTE to registration QA, with a goal of reviewing all accounts for accuracy. What a job! Although the FTE was very effective in reducing denials and rework, one FTE was not enough when the hospital was booming in growth (registrations grew from 71,000 in 2002 to 95,000 in 2007) and all efforts needed to be focused on proactive rather than reactive work.
The QA employee's actual review rate consisted of 30 percent of accounts, and the depth of the review was limited to whether insurance information and payer ID numbers were entered correctly. The limited manpower for registration QA resulted in inconsistent feedback to the hospital's registration manager and inconsistent (if any) feedback to registrars.
Ultimately, Thomas Hospital automated its registration QA processes-a decision that enhanced both staff morale and the hospital's bottom line. Today, the hospital boasts a registration error rate of just 15 percent and a clean claim rate of 90 percent. Yearly registrations have increased-95,000 in 2007, compared with 71,000 in 2002-yet the hospital has been able to reduce staffing in its business office from 16 FTEs in 2002 to 11 FTEs in 2007. Days in net A/R were 32.2 in 2007, compared with 55.5 in 2002, and point-of-service collections have increased by nearly $94,000 a month. The hospital's business department also eliminated outsourcing fees, which formerly totaled more than $32,000 a month.
Develop adequate reports, coding and business rules, and checklists to support in-depth manual review. Automated tools are available to make these reports readily accessible, providing immediate feedback to all staff.
Involve patient financial services and health information management in the development of the QA program and training of QA staff. Staff from both areas are critical to understanding where errors exist in registration processes and the impact these errors have on the hospital's revenue cycle.
Provide easily accessible verification information to registration QA staff.This information includes internal coding rules, insurance eligibility verification, address verification, scanned images of patient ID cards, payer contracts, physician orders, and medical necessity information. QA staff can then use a checklist to double-check the accuracy of information input during registration.
Enforce error correction prior to bill drop. Time is of the utmost importance. Taking this step will result in decreased denials and rework.
Encourage individual responsibility. Registration staff should be responsible for correcting their own errors, if at all possible.
Track and report errors by location, supervisor, and employee to monitor individual and team performance. This will enable your hospital to pinpoint where high percentages of errors are coming from and provide education to the appropriate staff.
Share trends in error rates with registration staff. Use graphs and diagrams to drive home results.
Do not expect perfection. Set attainable goals-and celebrate successes!
Although establishing a manual QA process is worthwhile, a manual QA review is typically limited to 20 percent to 30 percent of random accounts, and can be subjective and inconsistent. Only a limited number of error types can be targeted for manual QA review, depending on the staff available to do the job. The alternative to manual QA is automation technology.
An automated QA program will review 100 percent of accounts for virtually hundreds of error types that the hospital can specify and customize as needed. The speed of automation allows these systems to report errors back to the registrar who made the error in a timely fashion, prior to bill-drop, to improve accountability and to educate staff.
Registration employees cannot help but learn from their mistakes when a daily list of errors is presented to them with an opportunity to self-correct. Most registrars appreciate this feedback, especially when they realize it helps them do a better job and avoid complaints. Registrars can take pride in the fact that they can have a direct impact on the bottom line and patient care by self-correcting inevitable human errors and improving their accuracy rate.
Automated QA programs also provide patient access managers with powerful reports for improved management and retraining of front-end staff. The ROI for these products is typically realized in three to nine months.
Although some hospitals have learned to live with constant rework, denials, and morale-harming complaints caused by inevitable human error in registration, many managers are forging ahead with initiatives to improve this pivotal starting point of the revenue cycle. It's time for quality improvement to move beyond the clinical cycle to the revenue cycle.
Take a closer look at your registration department-staff there may hold the keys to moving your revenue cycle one step closer to reaching your organization's financial goals. Implementing automated QA technology will produce significantly greater results and ROI than a manual program, but every hospital should at least implement a manual QA process to improve morale and reduce complaints, denials, and rework.
Shifting from higher-cost denials management to lower-cost denials prevention and education is certainly a good financial move for any hospital. Instead of back-to-front management, registration QA introduces front-to-back continuous quality improvement and prevention rather than correction. An ounce of prevention at the front door is worth a pound of rework at the back door.

Future of Nursing Initiative
Keloids are found at the site of tissue injury. They are easily identified but not easily remedied. In this case study, the author presents two patients with keloids: one whose keloids involved her ear lobes, the other with acne keloidalis. Both patients underwent several months of treatment, with slow improvement. Keloids are often recalcitrant to treatment and are prone to recurrence. Several new therapeutic treatment strategies are being studied and developed. I hope that through continued research, new techniques will be discovered to prevent and treat these benign but potentially cosmetically devastating growths.
Dermatology healthcare professionals see many scars, which are a proliferation of fibrous tissue that replaces prior normal collagen after a wound or injury. Early on, they are deeper pink or red. Keloids, however, form within scar tissue with mainly Type I and some Type III collagen, which results in an overgrowth of tissue at the site of a healed skin injury, sometimes producing a lesion many times larger than that of the original scar. Keloids are benign and noncontagious. Although they usually occur at the site of an injury, keloids can also arise spontaneously. They can occur at the site of a piercing and even from something as simple as a pimple or scratch. Keloids also have the capability to hurt with a needle-like pain or to itch without warning, although the degree of sensation varies from patient to patient and can in severe cases affect movement of skin.
This is a 17-year-old African girl who recently immigrated to the United States from Uganda with her family. She had pierced both ear lobes about 6 months before moving to the United States, and about 3 months after the procedure, she developed keloids. The keloids were treated with an injection in Uganda 1 month before presenting to my office, which she said had not helped. There was no family history of keloids.
On initial presentation, on the bilateral anterior and posterior ear lobes, she had firm, skin-colored to slightly hyperpigmented nontender nodules. The keloids on the anterior and posterior right ear lobe each measured 1.5 cm in diameter; the keloids on the left ear lobe both measured 1 cm. There was no home treatment and the patient reported that all of the keloids were slowly enlarging.
The patient's past medical history was significant for exposure to tuberculosis. She had been treated with isoniazid for an unknown length of time, prior to moving to the United States. She reported a nonkeloidal scar on her chest, present for about 5 years.
No treatment was provided at her first visit. Two weeks later, she underwent excision of the keloids; all areas were allowed to heal by second intention. The pathology was consistent with keloid. Immediately following excision, intralesional (IL) Kenalog (triamcinolone) 40 mg/ml was injected into each ear lobe, with 0.25 ml total to the keloids on anterior and posterior aspects of each ear lobe. The day of the surgery, pressure dressings were applied. The patient was instructed to begin using compression (pressure) earrings immediately and to wear the earrings for as much of the time as possible, only to remove the earrings for at most 3-4 hours per day.
Compression earrings are spring-loaded pressure clips that patients apply over keloids on the ears. Continuous pressure helps to prevent keloid growth. These may be purchased online and in some jewelry stores.
One month later, the patient returned, with compression earrings in place, stating that her ear lobes "looked good." IL Kenalog 40 mg/ml, 0.5 ml was injected into each ear lobe. She returned twice in the next 3 months for treatment, at each visit receiving IL Kenalog 40 mg/ml. Unfortunately, the keloids regrew.
Because the enlarging keloids now measured an anterior-posterior width of 7 mm, the compression earrings could not be closed over the earlobes, and the patient was not able to wear them. She received a fifth injection of IL Kenalog 40 mg/ml and was scheduled for keloid re-excision.
Re-excision of the keloids was performed, and again, pathology was consistent with keloids. This time, the patient did not receive IL Kenalog at the time of the surgery. Since this second surgery, she has received five injections of IL Kenalog 40 mg/ml, spaced 1 month apart. She continues to wear the compression earrings at all times. At the time this article was written, 8 months after the last re-excision and 2 months since the last injection, the patient showed no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
This is a 44-year-old African American gentleman, Fitzpatrick Skin Phototype 5, who reported a 1-year history of itchy "ingrown hairs" on his left cheek. The problem began when the patient was sunburned on the left side of his face while driving a car during a summer in Italy. He had not treated the rash with anything. He shaves his beard daily with a straight razor blade, using "sensitive skin" shaving cream.
At presentation, he had one 8-mm hyperpigmented firm dome-shaped nodule on the upper left cheek and several 4-mm skin-colored nodules with central erosion and hemorrhagic crust, grouped on the left cheek. On bilateral cheeks and on the anterior neck, he had multiple 1- and 2-mm firm, skin-colored follicular papules. He was diagnosed with acne keloidalis on the left cheek and pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) on the cheeks and anterior neck.
He was initially given clindamycin 1% gel to be applied twice daily for the PFB and Retin-A Microgel 0.1% to be applied at bedtime for the acne keloidalis. At his first visit, he received an injection of 1 ml of IL Kenalog 2.5 mg/ml into the largest keloid on the left cheek.
Three weeks later, he returned, stating that the largest keloid was smaller but not totally gone. He complained that Retin-A was irritating his skin, but clindamycin was helping the PFB. He also complained of two itchy scars on his right shoulder, which had never been treated, that had been present for 1 year.
On the right shoulder, he had two linear, hypertrophic, hyperpigmented, nontender firm plaques, measuring 3-cm x 5-mm. On his face, he still had multiple firm 4-mm keloids. The patient received IL Kenalog 5 mg/ml into the two keloids on his right shoulder and the largest lesion on the left cheek. He was started on doxycycline 100 mg by mouth twice daily. His topical regimen was changed to include imiquimod 5% cream every night for 1 week, alternating with tretinoin 0.1% cream every night for 1 week. Treatment of keloids with imiquimod 5% cream is off-label.
Two months later, he returned, but he had misunderstood the instructions and had taken doxycycline for 1 week only. The treatment plan was re-explained. No Kenalog was injected.
After 2 months of topical and oral treatment as described earlier, the affected area on the left cheek was smaller in diameter and less raised. He tolerated the treatments without complaint. A total of 0.5 ml of IL Kenalog 5 mg/ml was injected into three keloids on the left cheek. Topical and oral treatments remained the same.
Six weeks later, he stopped taking doxycycline for 10 days and immediately noticed recurrence of keloids on the left cheek. He reported significant irritation from the imiquimod and had stopped using it. He continued to apply Retin-A Microgel 0.1% at bedtime and clindamycin 1% lotion twice daily. At this visit, five keloids on the left cheek were treated with IL Kenalog 5 mg/ml.
At this point, he had received five treatments with IL Kenalog over the course of 7 months. He received another six IL Kenalog treatments over the next 10 months. Both patient and provider were frustrated with the lack of improvement. His keloids were not enlarging, but at each visit, he required another injection. Other treatment options, including laser therapy, were discussed. Because of his phototype, the provider was hesitant to recommend laser therapy. A 3-mm punch biopsy was taken from the left cheek to confirm the diagnosis of keloid. The pathology showed "dermal scarring with multinucleated giant cell reaction to hair shafts," which is consistent with keloids.
The patient was referred to Massachusetts General Hospital Laser Center for consultation and possible laser hair removal or experimental laser treatment. Since February 2009, he has received two treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart, with the Lyra laser, with a 1,064-nm, 100-ms pulse duration and with a fluence of 24 J/cm2, to the left cheek only. He states that his face "has never looked this clear." He is no longer taking doxycycline. He uses clindamycin 1% lotion as needed. He will probably require six to eight laser treatments. He has not experienced any hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation secondary to the laser treatment.
Keloids occur because of an overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue, usually following skin injury (Berman, 2009). This fibrous tissue grows beyond the initial wound margin, without regression. The exact pathogenesis of keloid formation is unclear. Darker skin types are affected more frequently than lighter skin types, suggesting a genetic component. Dominant and recessive models of inheritance have been described. Keloids are more likely to form when there is foreign material, infection, or high skin tension present at the site of tissue injury in patients who are susceptible to keloids. Keloids most commonly occur between the ages of 10 and 30 years and are rarely seen in infants or older persons (Bolognia, 2003; Nouri, 2008).
Keloids are typically asymptomatic but can be painful or itchy. Most patients seek treatment because of cosmetic concerns. Dermatology nurses and staff are key players in identifying and preventing keloids. Diagnosing keloids is often not challenging; however, treating them can be challenging.
Occlusive dressings, IL corticosteroids, cryosurgery, excision, radiation, laser, interferon therapy, 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin, retinoic acid, imiquimod, tacrolimus, and botulinum toxin have been used to treat keloids (Berman & Kaufman, 2002; Kontochristopoulos, Stefanaki, Panagiotopoulos, Stefanaki, Argyrakos, Petridis et al., 2005). The use of many of these treatments is off-label and has not been studied in randomized clinical trials. Some recent studies have demonstrated benefit from imiquimod 5% cream and 5-fluorouracil. Other therapies aimed at decreasing collagen synthesis include vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, photodynamic therapy, transforming growth factor-beta 3, tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, and recombinant human interleukin, all currently being studied for use in treating keloids.
Treatment of keloids with laser has been well studied in recent years. The laser treatment that Patient 2 received was with the Lyra laser, which is a nonablatic long-pulsed yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) 1,064-nm laser. It is known by the brand names Lyra, Gemini, and Cynergy. It is also used to treat spider veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, facial flushing, fine wrinkles, acne scars, and sometimes for hair removal in patients with dark skin. Its long wavelength allows it to penetrate to the lower dermis. The long wavelength makes it less effective for hair removal than does lasers with shorter wavelengths but safer for dark-skinned individuals because it is not absorbed in the epidermis, making it less likely to cause pigmentation changes (Kelly, 2006).
Scars and keloids are both frequently seen by dermatology healthcare professionals. Scars are benign and may not cause significant problems. As seen by these two case studies, keloids can be very complicated. These two patients have achieved cosmetic improvement but only after multiple office visits, medications, injections, and surgeries. Not only is the process of treating keloids slow, but the cost can be prohibitive. In addition to copayments and the cost of medications, many patients must pay for treatment themselves because a keloid is considered a benign "cosmetic" diagnosis by most insurance companies. This frequently means that patients cannot afford treatment. Sometimes dermatology office staff can be involved to help find ways to pay for treatments.
The key to managing keloids is prevention. Patients who have a history of keloids or are of skin types more prone to their development should avoid elective surgery, avoid incision over the central chest or over joint spaces, and have all wounds closed with minimal skin tension and be instructed in bandaging which minimizes tension to a site. Dermatology nurses and staff can serve a critical role in providing education on the prevention of keloids and in identifying those patients at increased risk.

[Games of Summer is a recurring seasonal retrospective highlighting those magical titles that evoke wondrous thoughts of warm weather, carefree days, and discovery. Over the course of the next few weeks, we'll reflect on said titles and analyze why they meant so much to us then -- and just as much now.]
For most of my childhood, my step-dad had joint custody over his two sons, my step-brothers. I say step-brothers now, but in conversation, I almost always just refer to them as my brothers. I grew up with these guys, and they're infinitely closer to blood than water.
Anyways, the joint custody meant that every other weekend, they would come over, and we would hang out. Mostly we watched cartoons, made ugly rectangular Lego vehicles, and played on the SNES. After the weekend, they'd go home and we'd have completely separate lives at different schools with different friends and different interests.
Then summer would come around. When your siblings are only around every so often, summer is a big deal. It's the only time of the year where you're likely to see them for a week or two at a time. It's the only time of the year when you can really get your co-op on.
So when I think of summer gaming, my mind goes straight to the Donkey Kong Country series. There was a new one out for three years in a row, and every year, my brothers and I sat down for week-long stretches and cleared the game 101%, 102%, and 103%. Of course, at the time, it didn't mean anything. We just did it because it was fun, and it was one of the few games we knew of that had good co-op.
They were some of the only games where getting a total completion seemed worthwhile. Getting to K. Rool was only half of the experience. Every DK coin was worth pursuing, and it didn't matter how many times we had to shoot through Bramble Scramble to get the real ending.
I've been replaying these games alone, for the past couple weeks. They're still pretty tough and interesting platformers. I'd say they definitely held up over time, but something is missing. It's one thing when I get pissed, because damn it, I was holding run when I jumped, so why the hell didn't I clear the son of a bitch bee?
It was another thing entirely when it was three of us, equally enraged.
There were other games, sure, and eventually, my brothers moved into the same house as me, and we spent most of our teen years playing completely different games. Even now, its seems that 95% of the gaming they do is in EA's NCAA Football series. Obviously, we've developed our very separate identities and interests, and that's fine. But in a time when we didn't get to hang out as much as we'd have liked, the summer sessions of the Donkey Kong Country series were some of the greatest things my brothers and I shared.

New Tech-Based ETF Is Heavy on Dividends, Light on Apple
The biggest point of differentiation between TDIV and XLK would be TDIV having no exposure to Apple (AAPL) vs. 19% for XLK. To be included in TDIV a stock must have paid a dividend for at least one year. Apple only started paying dividends this month so it would seem that Apple would be added to TDIV at the first rebalancing after one year of dividends.
Based on the current makeup of the fund it would seem that if Apple does get added it would have a 7% weight. That is still much less than 19% of course but still enough to influence TDIV's results when the time comes.
Investors should not lose sight of the notion that dividends are now very popular and popular is not always good where investing is concerned. It is not worthwhile to try to predict when or if dividend stocks will start to do poorly so much as continually monitoring dividend based holdings for signs of starting to do poorly.

David Booth scored his first career hat trick as last-place Florida ended a six-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory against the Ducks on Sunday at Honda Center.
Florida entered the game with the fewest victories (4) and points (9) in the NHL and had the worst power play unit. It was also playing the second of back-to-back games against a rested Ducks team.
Booth backhanded the puck past Ducks goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere to tie at 1 in the first period. He scored two goals in the second period, completing the hat trick on a power play goal.
Corey Perry scored for the Ducks.

December 20, 2014
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- The executive vice president of Stewart-Haas Racing says Tony Stewart is grieving -- and it will be up to the star driver to decide when he's ready to get back in the car.
Jeff Burton will drive the No. 14 car in Stewart's place in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. SHR executive VP Brett Frood says they haven't discussed any other races.
Stewart is skipping a second straight Cup race since striking and killing driver Kevin Ward Jr. at a dirt-track race in New York last weekend. Frood did not say where Stewart was Friday, but he said Stewart was surrounded by his closest friends and family.
Frood says it was Stewart's decision to skip this weekend's race.

Energy saved by our customers to date
featured products in our shop >>>
Stuck on where to start with renewable energy? ... Our FAQ section is a great place to find out the basics on solar panels, wind turbines, solar pv, water turbines and heat pumps.
Solar panels
We carry a wide range of renewable energy equipment and accessories but our photovoltaic and evacuated tube panels form the core of our business activities. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly solution to your water heating needs, evacuated tubes are a great choice. A single unit, around 2.25m2, will be able to produce enough hot water at most times of the year for the average household in the UK. Our state-of-the-art systems can be used with both vented and unvented cylinders, include everything you need to get started and are among the most competitively priced in the market.
Power generation
Systems based on photovoltaic panels are ideal for grid feed systems as well as standalone applications. They can be employed in various configurations depending on your exact requirements and we can supply MPPT controllers to ensure that your system operates at maximum efficiency. Our microgeneration certified systems are the best choice for householders that would like to take advantage of the incentive schemes run by the government and will enable you to reduce your reliance on the national grid. You can use our payback calculator to work out how long it will take to recover your investment in PV equipment.
Wind and water
In addition to systems that rely on solar power to generate electricity, we carry a range of turbines that can be used to harness the power of river currents and the wind. Whether you are looking for a domestic generation solution involving water turbines or the most competitive solar panels installers in your part of the UK, we can help. We supply wind turbines rated from 300w to 2kw, which are suitable for charging 48v batteries in remote installations. Our hydropower equipment can be used to charge batteries or as part of a system to produce mains power for homes.
The heat is on
Even in the depths of winter, the Earth retains vast amounts of heat. This can be harnessed with the help of our ground source pumps and used to heat your home. Most installations consist of ground loops – lengths of pipe buried in your garden – around which a mixture of water and antifreeze is circulated by the pumps. We also carry models that can extract heat from direct water flows through the pump, which are ideal for those who live close to large bodies of moving water such as rivers or the sea.
Passing on our knowledge
As one of the leading supply and installation companies in the renewable energy sector, we are happy to be able to offer Epogee training services to those who would like to learn the trade. Whether you are an individual who is interested in learning how to install solar generation equipment or a company proprietor who would like to ensure that his or her installation team are up to scratch, our monthly courses could be just what you are looking for. Our team appreciates the importance of installing each component carefully and takes great pride in working with solar thermal panels.
Each and every one of us shares some kind of responsibility where the future of the planet is concerned. And rather than relying on fossil fuels until the supply is exhausted, here at Navitron we would like to introduce you to a whole host of alternative energy sources that are available right now. As a business we're fully committed to the issue of renewable energy and since 2004 we've been supplying everything from wind turbines, to vacuum tubes and backup generators. Our solar PV panel is one of our most popular lines and in fact this form of energy technology is also one of the fastest growing in the world of alternative energy. Converting the sun's radiation into electricity is far from a new idea, but it's fair to say that in the past that the technology didn't match the theory. But times have changed and the team here are proud to offer a comprehensive range of viable technologies, which are both extremely efficient and surprisingly affordable. Converting to an alternative source of energy makes a lot of sense and we'll do our best to show you how you can benefit from making the switch to clean and green energy.
One of the biggest challenges we face as a company is convincing people that renewable energy systems are a cost effective way of bringing energy into the home. And it's fair to say that once consumers see just how affordable our products actually are, they are always pleasantly surprised. Slowly but surely the world is waking up to the fact that we can't carry on as we are and sooner or later everyone will all have to install an alternative energy supply of one description or another. From a personal and business perspective, we've long been advocates of renewable energy and we can't speak highly enough of products like solar water heating panels. When you think about it, surely it makes perfect sense to harness the power of the sun, after all, there's not much chance of the sun's radiation running out any time soon! And if you source vacuum tubes from ourselves, you can rest assured that every time you turn on the hot tap or shower, you'll have piping hot H2O at your disposal. If you truly care about the world that your children are going to grow up in, there's never been a better time to convert.
Perhaps it sounds like a cliché, but as a forward thinking company, we really do care about the needs of the customer and we work long and hard to ensure that the products we supply will meet and hopefully exceed expectations. In the genre of alternative energy we're pretty confident that we've got all bases covered, so regardless of whether you're looking for wood stoves, wind turbines, vacuum tubes, or even heat pumps, you can rely on us to deliver. The solar panel kits that we supply are proving to be particularly popular and for anyone who's looking for a reliable way to produce hot water, there is perhaps no finer choice. At Navitron we're aware of the fact that many of our prospective customers are new to the idea of renewable energy and with this fact in mind we've created a comprehensive website which describes in layman's terms the virtues of each and every product in the range. We truly believe that our valued customers deserve the best in renewable energy solutions and we pride ourselves on the fact that we have a reputation within the industry for supplying superior quality and reasonably priced eco friendly systems.
Make no mistake, renewable energy is here to stay and Navitron are here to ensure that you get a head start in the wonderful world of alternative power. We love to talk about our fascinating industry and we also enjoy shattering the odd myth and misconception along the way! The products we supply require limited maintenance and contrary to common belief, items such as the vacuum tubes are in fact incredibly robust. Make the decision to switch over to devices that harness the natural power of the sun and you'll be surprised just how easy the installation process is. And if it's something you don't fancy tackling yourself, we can always recommend a reputable installer, who'll have your new system up and running in no time at all. We leave no stone unturned in our quest for perfection and regardless of whether you're looking for a DIY solar panel as a replacement for an existing part, or you're looking to purchase a whole new system, we're more than happy to oblige. Embracing the genre of renewable energy is one of the most sensible decisions any of us can make and it truly does represent a sound investment on your part.
Since the very beginning we've make it our aim to prove that green energy is a viable solution to the world's energy issues and thankfully more and more people around the world are starting to agree with us. We specialise in cost effective renewable energy systems and we work tirelessly to make the alternative energy sources as financially attractive as possible. Just about every day you'll see a headline in the media which addresses the issue of the so called carbon footprint and how we all need to reduce it and with the help of our superior products, you can do exactly that. Slowly but surely carbon omissions are creating irreversible problems, but by installing thermal solar panels you're playing your part in creating a greener future for the world and its growing population. And the great news is, you can actually start down the green energy route for surprisingly affordable money. Take a look at our competitively priced packages and we're confident you'll be purchasing your renewable energy system sooner rather than later. If we all share a little responsibility, the world will indeed be a much brighter and cleaner place for all of us to live in.
Over the years we've seen our business go from strength to strength and in the main this is due to our growing reputation and of course the increasing popularity of renewable energy systems. Roof mounted solar power panels are becoming an increasingly common sight and in our humble opinion this trend is set to continue long into the future. When it comes to renewable energy, you could say that the wind and sun are a gift from nature and the power we can harness from each simply knows no bounds. Wind turbines, vacuum tubes and various other devices offer credible solutions to capturing the power of the natural elements and for anyone with an interest in green issues, this is great news. We're all being encouraged to think about being more eco friendly in our attitudes and actions and the feed in tariffs UK are an added incentive for each and every one of us. The issues of green house gases and carbon omissions are ones which we can no longer ignore and by installing one of our innovative renewal energy systems, you're certainly playing your part in ensuring that the planet remains a beautiful place in which to live.

The Percy Jackson series of books are full of adventure and largely based on Greek mythology.
Percy Jackson is the half mortal son of Poseidon. This movie and the book series are excellent inspiration for a Greek Gods party in addition to throwing in some Olympics fun as well.
Looking to invoke the Greek gods at this celebration, find ideas here:
- Ask that your guests dress up as Greek Gods. See if everyone at the party can tell who is who.
- Create a Greek God trivia contest and see who knows the most about them.
- Bob for Grapes, just like bobbing for apples.
- Hold Olympic competitions at Camp Half Blood, like the one Percy attends. Hang a sign with the Camp's name on it.
- Create Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals and award them to the competitors.
- Create laurel wreaths that everyone wears on their heads, and can be taken home as a party favor too.
- Serve a Greek menu of kebabs, dips, pita bread, and Baklava for an authentic taste of Greece
- Read aloud some of the Greek myths and ask your guests to dramatize them for fun on a mock stage.
- Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' master lightening bolt. Have the kids create their own lightening bolts with heavy card stock and aluminum foil and have competitions with them, i.e. who can throw them the furthest and shortest distances as an example.
- Learn some Greek vocabulary or let them try their hand at writing out Greek words too.
Percy Jackson is a great character to build a truly Greek God party theme around. As the winter olympics unfold this month, engage your kids in learning a bit more about the Greek culture with these fun ideas.
Say It!

Percy's mom is famous for giving Percy blue food to celebrate or to help when he's feeling down. Send party goers home with a treat bag full of blue candies, etc.
Camp Halfblood is famous for their strawberries. You could serve strawberries at the party.
At camp half blood the campers play capture the flage every Friday. It is a simple and fun game.
Like the others said capture the flag and blue food. Also, as a party favor the guests can be sorted into cabins and you can make bookmarks with their name in greek

The ADG3243 is a 2.5 V or 3.3 V, 2-bit, 2-port digital switch with individual channel control. It is designed on a low voltage CMOS process, which provides low power dissipation yet gives high switching speed and very low on resistance. This allows the inputs to be connected to the outputs without additional propagation delay or generating additional ground bounce noise.
The switches are enabled by means of the bus enable ()input signal. This digital switch allows a bidirectional signal to be switched when ON. In the OFF condition, signal levels up to the supplies are blocked.
This device is ideal for applications requiring level translation. When operated from a 3.3 V supply, level translation from 3.3 V inputs to 2.5 V outputs is allowed. Similarly, if the device is operated from a 2.5 V supply and 2.5 V inputs are applied, the device will translate the outputs to 1.8 V. This makes the device suited to applications requiring level translation between different supplies, such as converter to DSP/microcontroller interfacing.

Google is "teaming up" with Ivy League school Cornell. Teaming up may overplay things a bit but Google will provide 22,000 square feet of its New York City headquarters to a new venture that the school is undertaking.
The Wall Street Journal reports
Officials at Google estimated the market value of the space— which will be provided free to CornellNYC Tech, a joint venture between Cornell University and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology—at between $10 million and $12 million. That estimate includes the value of an option the school has to expand to 58,000 square feet during the next 5½ years while work on its permanent campus is completed.
Very generous, wouldn't you say? Of course that kind of money is small stuff to Google but its effort to boost the presence of New York City vs. the Silicon Valley is an interesting play indeed.

Store pushes for healthier living
A new store that is all about healthier living is opening Tuesday. The new store is called Natural Groceries and is located on 17th Street.
The store is providing a better and more affordable lifestyle for people in Idaho Falls. Store managers said eating healthy is more than just tofu and wheat grass. They offer all the groceries you can find at other stores, without all the additives.
Natural Groceries Operations Team Lead Andi Valdez said it is more than just a grocery store -- the store is educating people on a healthier way of life.
"We have just hired a nutritional health coach. Once she finishes her training she will be able to provide free half-hour consultations with the community. She will help educate both our staff as well as customers on health and wellness," said Valdez.
The store will open at 9 a.m. Tuesday. As part of its grand opening, customers will be placed into a drawing to win prizes like a new iPad.
