What is a PEO?
PEO, or Professional Employer Organization, is an organization that your
business can contract with to outsource various administrative
functions. PEOs act as co-employers by assuming the tasks of human
resources, payroll, benefits, taxes, risk management and other functions -- allowing you to focus entirely on revenue generation, strategic
planning and customer service.
Small businesses around the country are turning to PEOs more and more -- both to liberate owners and managers from excessive paperwork, and to
offer employees improved benefits and services that PEOs provide. And it
seems to be working for all parties: a recent study found that 95% of
businesses that try a PEO stay with a PEO.
Because DSK Group believes that PEOs can improve small business
performance, we have added additional
services and have outlined the
benefits for our customers.
How can a PEO benefit my business?
More time for Core Business - If your small
business is like most, the owners and managers can spend a quarter
of their time or more dealing with payroll, benefits and compliance
issues. Contracting these time-consuming jobs to a PEO means more of
your time is spent pursuing your core business objectives.
Better Employee Benefits - Because DSK Group,
Inc. provides benefits for employees across the country we use
economies of scale to bring your employees a wider range of
benefits. This leads to increased employee satisfaction, better
retention and an increased ability to attract the best employees.
Reduce Your Risk - A PEO like DSK Group, Inc. shares the
responsibility and legal liability for the "business of employment,"
including human resources, payroll and employee taxes, labor law
compliance, benefits administration, workers' compensation, risk
management and more.
Controlled Costs and Increased Efficiency - PEOs can handle
administrative functions anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 the cost your
business will incur doing it yourself. Giving a PEO responsibility
for all of your "business of employment" is far more cost-efficient
than outsourcing individual vendors.
What are the advantages of a PEO for my
Thousands of business owners and managers have
discovered the advantages of using a PEO to handle their Human Resources
tasks. PEOs help all types of companies and employees.
Some advantages for businesses to use a PEO
How will my employees benefit from a PEO?
Some advantages for employees to work for a company
that uses a PEO include:
How does an arrangement with a PEO work?
Once a client company contracts with a PEO, the PEO
will then co-employ the client's worksite employees. In the relationship
among a PEO, a worksite employee, and a client company, there exists a
co-employment relationship in which both the PEO and client company have
an employment relationship with the worker. The PEO assumes
responsibility and liability for the "business of employment" such as
risk management, personnel management, human resource compliance, and
payroll and employee tax compliance. The client company retains
responsibility for and manages product development and production,
business operations, marketing, sales, and service. The PEO and the
client will share certain responsibilities for employment law
compliance. As a co-employer, the PEO will often provide a complete
human resource and benefit package for the worksite employees.
How many Americans are employed in a
co-employment PEO arrangement?
It is estimated that 2-3 million Americans are
currently co-employed in a PEO arrangement. PEOs are operating in every
state and the industry continues to grow at an average of 20% each year.
It is estimated there are around 800 PEO companies who are responsible
for generating more than $43 billion in gross revenues.
What does DSK Group, Inc. offer my business?
How do I pay DSK Group, Inc. for your services?
You can pay by wire transfer, cashier's check or other certified funds,
or a company check with approved credit.

The average engagement score for this year's winners was 83 per cent.RELATED ARTICLESNAIT squad wins HRC West competitionFinding talent, engagement top HR trends for 2019CPHR Canada, SHRM sign MRA"Achieving high engagement isn't easy at the best of times," said Einar Westerlund, director of project development at the Queen's Centre for Business Venturing, part of the Queen's School of Business. "It's even more challenging in an improving economy when the demand for workers increases and employees have more options. Unless employers have been able to gain a strong level of commitment from their workforce, they will see employee turnover begin to increase."To be eligible to participate in the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada study, organizations must have been in business in Canada for at least three years and have between 50 and 399 permanent , Canadian-based employees.

When visitors enter the Willunga Slate Museum, they are often bemused by the slate relief entitled Ino and Bacchus. The common reaction is "Surely that isn't slate". But Ino and Bacchus is indeed carved from slate, and as we trace the delicate lines of the work, we have to wonder at the skill and inspiration that enabled the creation of this beautiful piece from such a demanding material.
Photograph courtesy of Mark Staniforth.
In Roman mythology, Bacchus was the child of the god Jupiter and the mortal Semele. Semele was tricked by Juno, Jupiter's jealous wife, into demanding to see Jupiter in his real form. No mortal could withstand the sight of Jupiter in his godly splendour and Semele perished, as mortals who had congress with the gods tended to do. Ino, Semele's sister, raised Bacchus as her own after Semele's untimely death.

The UU Center for Latin American Studies is pleased to announce a competition for Faculty Travel Awards to support travel to Latin America and the Caribbean. Thanks to funds from our Title VI NRC grant, CLAS can provide a limited number of grants to full time faculty members, including lecturers, to support field research and activities that enhance program and professional development. The primary objective of these grants is to give UU faculty members opportunities to begin field work on new projects or to complete, supplement, or add a comparative dimension to field research conducted previously.
Smaller grants are also available for activities that support the growth of Latin American studies at the UU. These activities can include travel that enhances Latin American content in the university's curriculum, develops or strengthens university partnerships and exchanges in Latin America, develops collaborative relationships with Latin American scholars and artists, or develops new opportunities for UU students to study and learn about Latin America. Awards are intended to support broader program development, and so should not focus exclusively on conference presentations but incorporate additional elements with broader impact on university and research linkages.
International travel awards range from $500-$1500 and can be used for airfare and related travel costs. International travel expenses need to be approved by the US Department of Education, which can take up to 30 days, so please do not book your travel until after the award notification.
All full-time faculty at the University of Utah, including tenure-line and career-line faculty, are eligible to apply. Research and program development activity must be relevant to Latin American studies. To be eligible, travel must be completed by the end of the summer.
- Untenured and Mid-Career faculty
- Field research activity
- Faculty who have not recently received support from CLAS
- Requests that clearly demonstrate the need and relevance of the activity to the candidate's field, to their curricular objectives, or that clearly benefit CLAS at the UU
Proposals for summer research travel are due by the second Friday of March. Faculty planning research trips earlier in the academic year may submit proposals starting in September. Such proposals will be considered on a rolling basis, but should be submitted at least two months before the start of travel.
The maximum award amount will be $1,500 but most awards will be between $500 and $1,200. Results will be announced within two weeks of the proposal deadline.
Reimbursable expenses
Airfare, ground transportation and parking, meals (per diems or receipts), and lodging. We cannot pay for conference registration.
Application Instructions
Please submit the following material by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 5:00 pm on the date applications are due:
- A 3-page proposal (including references) that describes the project, how the travel will support the individual's research and professional development, and how the trip will benefit Latin American Studies at the UU.
- Proposed Budget, including printed itinerary from a travel service (e.g. airline, Orbitz, Travelocity, etc.)
- Proposed Itinerary, including destination, date of departure and return, and plans for in-country travel.
Other Conditions
- Please note that international travel on the CLAS grant requires prior approval from the US Department of Education. If we are funding air travel, the approval process requires flights on US carriers, or flights that have a codeshare showing a US carrier flight number. This approval can take up to 30 days, so please wait to book your flights until after receiving an award. If you need to book a flight in advance of the award notification, please book travel on US carriers on all legs where US airlines fly.
- Original receipts must be presented to obtain any reimbursement
- Within 30 days of returning, awardees must present a brief report on the research or activities completed. The report should include a project title, destination, and duration of field research activities conducted with travel award monies, amount of the award, and a brief narrative describing your research activities.
- Awardees may be invited present their research findings, articles, essays, etc. at CLAS sponsored events or lecture series.
- Recipients of funding from CLAS should formally acknowledge the Center's role in supporting their scholarly activities in any publication or public presentation (conference, poster, white paper, etc.).

As the temperatures start to rise, those who are partaking in Europe travel may get the urge to do more outdoor activities.
More cities such as Paris are looking to promote eco-friendly activities that travellers can marvel at during their vacations. According to The New York Times, Nature Capitale is an ecological celebration that serves as an outdoor installation.
The event is scheduled this year to take place in Lyon, France, and is sponsored by the United Nations. Last year the Champs-Elysees was closed down for two days and covered over with grass for spectators.
The news provider reports that this is just another example of how France is starting to jump on board the eco tourism train.
While there are festivals such as Nature Capitale, vacationers can also take eco-friendly initiatives of their own.
Travellers that are looking to ditch their rental cars may also find that they can see some of their top destinations via rental bikes while in the City of Light. Not only could this allow tourists to venture to places they may not be able to find otherwise, but it will also keep their energy levels high.

COMEX RULE VIOLATIONS: (Legacy) Rule 854.B. CONCURRENT LONG AND SHORT POSITIONS (in part)
Concurrent long and short positions in physically delivered contracts that are held by the same owner during the current delivery month must be offset by transactions executed in the market, by allowable privately negotiated transactions, or fulfilled through the normal delivery process, provided however that trades may be transferred for offset if the trade date of the position being transferred is the same as the transfer date. Such positions may not be offset via netting, transfer, or position adjustment except to correct a bona fide clerical or operational error on the day the error is identified and provided that the quantity of the offset does not represent more than one percent of the reported open interest in the affected futures contract month.
Pursuant to an offer of settlement in which ADM Investor Services, Inc. ("ADMIS") neither admitted nor denied the rule violations upon which the penalty is based, on September 23, 2014, a Panel of the COMEX Business Conduct Committee ("BCC" or "Panel") found that it had jurisdiction over ADMIS pursuant to COMEX Rules 400 and 402 as the conduct occurred while ADMIS was a COMEX member. The Panel also found that for trade date June 27, 2013, ADMIS submitted position adjustments to open interest in the July 2013 Copper futures contract, which resulted in the overstatement of open interest by 6.9%. The Panel concluded that ADMIS thereby violated COMEX (Legacy) Rule 854.B.
In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel fined ADMIS $15,000.

Man sues hotel over ladies' night promotion; claims discrimination
June 24, 2011
For all of those who thought civil rights activism was dead, consider this: a lone crusader is fighting against the "repugnant and unlawful" practice of…ladies' night.
Steve Frye, a California man, is suing the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village for having a "Girls' Night Out" promotion.
The promotion works the same way as other ladies' night specials: it offers discounted drinks and free appetizers to female patrons.
If you're not from California (or Wisconsin or Maryland, for that matter), you may find the lawsuit ridiculous.
The lawsuit, though, has merit, since ladies' night-type promotions are an illegal form of gender discrimination in California (and in Wisconsin and Maryland, if you're curious).
The practice was first outlawed in the California Supreme Court's 1985 ruling Koire v. Metro Car Wash, and affirmed in 2007's Angelucci v. Century Supper Club, so Frye's claim is legit.
Was the harm done to Frye so great as to justify a lawsuit?
Individually, probably not, since it's probably a matter of no more than $50 for the one night he attended the promotion.
Of course, that's why Frye is seeking certification for a class action. And attorneys' fees.
Given that, I can't imagine that the hotel would want to actually litigate this case when the law is so far out of its favor, so this complaint may be as far as it gets.
This was probably just a case of a business owner who wasn't familiar with the unique laws of California and thought the promotion as nothing more than a common and harmless business practice to increase sales.
Still, I have to wonder if the gross victimization Frye is claiming is sincere.
He claims that "Four Seasons' invidious Girls' Night Out promotion caused discontent, animosity, harm, resentment, or envy among the sexes."
Strangely, I imagine that the promotion was intended to have the opposite effect.
I'm speaking of the general purpose behind any "ladies' night" promotion: to encourage female bar attendance.
Is this to the exclusion of men?
Absolutely not.
It's actually the other way around: bars try to increase their female patronage as an attraction to male patrons.
I think the implication as to why more women in bars attract more men should be obvious.
So you could say that the practice is indeed discriminatory, but more so against women than men, which is why the California Supreme Court originally ruled the practice unlawful in Koire.
Although, some would counter that the practice actually benefits the savvier woman who takes advantage of the discounts but rebuffs the guy trying his luck on ladies' night.
It's entirely possible that Frye was such a guy the fateful night he attended the Four Seasons Westlake Village.
After all, if he were such a guy and hadn't been rejected, would he have been upset enough over the practice to sue?

Reports indicate that the revenue from sales and rentals of DVDs in 2005 alone
amounted to well over $20 billion. It's also a well known fact that 90% of traditional
DVD rental stores are derived from new releases. The remainder of their inventory
- usually consisting of thousands of older titles only accounts for 10% of their
total rental revenue. Operating a video rental storefront becomes are really
tough business when you consider that you take into account staff and management
overhead, rental costs in high-traffic areas and other operational costs. Yet,
despite the high costs involved, movie rental stores continue to be a favorite
business for entrepreneurs because the potential for profit.
Video rental operators have long realized that their business would be a whole
lot easier if they could just offer the hottest new releases without the burden
of carrying a bloated inventory of 'classics'. When DVDNow set out to solve
this problem, we designed a revolutionary DVD rental kiosks that could maintain
focus on movies that brought in 90% of the rental revenue while at the same
time mininizing the initial capital outlay, completely eliminating the overhead
created by rent, property taxes, utilities and staff costs.
Imagine if you could offer all the latest releases to thousands of customers
through a machine that's as easy to operate as an ATM. Imagine having all the
revenue deposited automatically into your bank account while you enjoy quality
time with your family or doing whatever it is you enjoy doing. Your DVDNow machine
operates unsupervised 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at a small fraction of
the costs of a traditional rental store and minus the hassles and complaints
that come with having staff. If the DVDNow model is beginning to make sense
to you, and you are the kind of person that wants more out of life, then you
may have what it takes to be a DVDNow distributor.
DVDNow automated rental kiosks enable entrepreneurs to tap in on the $20 billion
DVD industry. Our program allows independent operators to establish a network
of state-of-the-art DVD rental terminals at almost any location - from grocery
and convenience stores to fast food restaurants to apartment complexes. The
DVDNow business model focusses on the profitable and readily available independent
or mid-sized chain locations. Mid-sized chains and independent locations realize
the benefits of offering DVD rentals and are turning to DVDNow to satisfy consumer
demand. This translates into savings for the entrepreneur who now doesn't have
to raise millions of dollars in investment to be able to deploy into the costly
large chains like McDonald's and Krogers Grocery Stores.
DVDNow terminals generate revenue through four primary sources.
The DVDNow program is without a doubt the most comprehensive offering in the
industry. From our ground breaking DVD rental kiosk, to our warranty, technical
support, placement services and training programs, everything is best in class
and here's just a small list of the advantages that a DVDNow kiosk business
owner enjoys :
Product. DVDNow Kiosks has established one of the fastest growing segments
of the entertainment industry, with automated DVDNow rental kiosks available
coast to coast. However, even with its phenomenal popularity with consumers,
the DVD rental kiosk industry is still in the early stages of explosive growth.
Rental kiosks already outnumber video stores in the United States and statistics
show the potential to double in the coming years. We'd like you to be part of
that explosive growth.
Recession-Proof Business. DVD rentals are recession-proof. In fact,
in times of recession and economic slow-down, DVD rentals become one of the
most popular forms of entertainment simply because it's inexpensive. In fact,
DVD rentals increased by 4% in the last quarter of 2008 due to a surge in demand
for affordable entertainment by a growing number of budget-conscious consumers.
Convenience is Key. Just like fast-food, people are flocking to our
DVDNow Kiosks because it's fast and it's convenient. Our DVDNow automated DVD
rental kiosks fit perfectly in and complement any business - from grocery and
convenience stores to gas stations, condominium complexes and any other high
consumer traffic areas. Our self-service DVD rental kiosks allow movie renters
to easily grab a DVD without making an extra stop along the way home.
Renting is now Fun and Easy. DVDNow customers can browse through a complete
offering of the latest movie titles, watch movie trailers, and most importantly,
avoid a time consuming and inconvenient trip to an overcrowded traditional video
Offer The Most In-Demand New Release Movies. In a traditional video
store, 90% of ALL movie rentals are new releases. Our self-service DVD rental
kiosks focus exclusively on these high demand, heavily rented, and highly profitable
new titles, without the burden of carrying a catalogue of under-producing older
movies. DVDNow rental kiosks also have the flexibility to rent video games and
Blu-ray DVDs, enabling you to tailor your inventory to what is in highest demand
in your local market.
Easy to own and operate your own chain of DVDNow kiosks. With the number
of DVD rental kiosks in the United States expected to double within the next
few years, DVDNow is offering you a business opportunity that is exciting and
profitable. With the ease of use of our system, it's possible to own and operate
multiple units of DVDNow kiosks without the headaches of traditional video rental
on a $20+ Billion DVD industry. DVDNow rental kiosks enable entrepreneurs
to capitalize on the massive DVD industry by allowing them to participate in
a market that was previously only open to large corporations such as Redbox
or MovieCube. With our program, entrepreneurs and independent operators are
able to establish a network of state-of-the-art DVD rental kiosks in high traffic
locations such as grocery and convenience stores, fast food restaurants, university/college
campuses and large apartment or condo complexes.
Untapped Market. Our model is simple; focus on the highly profitable,
and readily available, independent or mid-sized chain locations. These locations
are for the most part overlooked by the other companies in this industry as
they raise tens of millions of dollars to deploy corporately operated kiosks
into the largest of the grocery and fast food chains. Mid-sized chains and independent
locations realize the benefits of offering DVD rentals and are turning to independently
operated DVDNow rental kiosks to satisfy huge consumer demand.

Chocolate Orange Avocado Mousse – Creamy avocado and banana blended with sweet dates, orange and cacao.
I first posted a recipe for chocolate avocado mousse back in 2014. It is a recipe that I make often and I have been meaning to change the photos on the post for quite some time. However, I love the fact there is a picture of Finn licking the bowl and can't really bring myself to change them. It is also nice to look back on older photos to see how my photography has improved over time.
Instead of updating the old recipe I decided to post a newer version of the dish. This chocolate orange avocado mousse, in my opinion, is even better. I used frozen banana in this version as I like the consistency it gives but you can easily use banana that isn't frozen. The key is to make sure it is ripe and sweet. The added orange juice gives a subtle orange flavour that we all love.
Rory couldn't wait for me to finish shooting these pots, he was straight in there enjoying it!
Chocolate Orange Avocado Mousse
- 1 ripe banana (cut into chunks and frozen)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 30 g dates (around 5 small dates)**
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- juice and rind of half and orange
- Add the dates, banana and avocado to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the cacao and orange juice and blend until combined.
- Place into small cups / dishes and top with some grated orange rind.
Recipe Notes
** You want your dates to be soft and fresh so they will blend easy. If they are a little dry I would soak them in boiling water for a min to soften.

Once school starts, my kids and husband rarely get to eat dinner at the same time. With slow cooker meals, we make it work.
Get all the goodness of this classic Indian dish -- from your slow cooker. It's the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.
The slow cooker is the gift that keeps on giving...all summer long.
Once the cooler weather hits, my kids and I start craving warm comforting bowls of beef goulash and chili.
Your kids refuse to eat anything but chicken? No problem.
Oven space is at a premium at Thanksgiving. Why not utilize your Crock Pot?
There's nothing better than coming home from the pool to a meal that's waiting for us.

Matt Drange spent a few hours talking to folks at Surf 4 Peace about the contest, about Surfrider and about Ocean Conservancy's 25th annual International Coastal Cleanup Day.
Thanks to all the folks who made Surf 4 Peace and the clean-up a great success! Special thanks to Debbie, Adrien and Jody, and to Pierson's for donating even more supplies to Humboldt Surfrider.
Also, please note, the Northcoast Environmental Center has a long history of organizing the Coastal Cleanup locally.
Since the International Coastal Cleanup Day began 25 years ago, over 8 million volunteers have removed 135 million pounds of trash from beaches around the world.
Trash in the ocean – from pervasive plastics to cigarette butts – is a huge, totally preventable problem. Help stop marine debris by stopping it at the source. Opt for reusable bags, reusable water bottles, reusable everything. When you do make trash, put it in the trash can. That includes cigarette butts! Support legislation aimed at reducing/eliminating marine debris. And stay tuned for our next Surfrider beach and highway cleanups!

Correction of Atrophic Scars With Artefill: An Open-label Pilot Study
Rachel E. Epstein DO and James Spencer MD MS|Background: Artefill®, a novel permanent filler approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been used as an injectable implant for the correction of nasolabial folds. Fillers are considered a first line treatment for atrophic scars. Objective: The authors evaluated the degree of correction and subject satisfaction of correction of atrophic acne scar(s) after injection of Artefill. Methods: Fourteen qualified subjects participated in a single-center, open-label, pilot study. Atrophic acne scars were evaluated prior to injection. Subscision was performed, and then Artefill was injected into the scar. The degree of improvement was measured at weeks 2 and 4 and month 8. Subjects were asked to fill out a satisfaction survey at their eight-month visit. Results: Investigator ratings after eight months post procedure indicated that 96 percent of the atrophic acne scars showed some degree of improvement. There was no improvement in two out of a total of 57 scars evaluated. The majority of patients reported a moderate correction, correlating with a 51–75 percent improvement in their acne scars at eight months. No adverse events or side effects were noted. Conclusion: Artefill demonstrated to be both an efficacious and safe therapy for the treatment of atrophic acne scars.
Current and Future Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A Preparations in Aesthetics: A Literature Review
Gerhard Sattler MD|Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BTX-A) preparations are well established for cosmetic use. BTX-A inhibits the release of acetylcholine, resulting in temporary muscle paralysis, which has been utilized successfully to treat glabellar frown lines, periorbital wrinkles and other facial enhancement procedures. Two BTX-A products are approved for aesthetic procedures in the United States (U.S.) and Europe, and a next generation of preparations free from complexing proteins has recently been approved in Germany. Despite established efficacy profiles, concerns remain regarding the propensity for immunogenic reactions, which can lead to premature loss of effect and secondary therapy failure. NT 201 is a BTX-A preparation that is free from complexing proteins and is in the advanced stages of aesthetic development. Pivotal clinical studies in therapeutic indications demonstrate noneriority and comparable safety of NT 201 to another available BTX-A preparation. This article reviews the pharmacologic and clinical profiles of BTX-A preparations currently available and in development. Novel BTX-A preparations may offer advantages over existing products in terms of handling and immunogenicity.
Histopathologic Identification of Dermal Filler Agents
Stephen E. Mercer MD PhD, Rebecca Kleinerman MD,Gary Goldenberg MD, Patrick O. Emanuel MD|As reflected in the literature, the use of dermal filler agents has increased substantially over the last decade. Consequently, these agents are more frequently encountered on histopathologic examination. A variety of dermal fillers can be readily identified histopathologically, and the accurate identification of these agents is a critical task for dermatopathologists. Furthermore, a basic understanding of the histological features of fillers has relevance to dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons. The identification of filler substances may have important diagnostic, medico-legal and medical management considerations. This concise review aims to provide a pragmatic approach to distinguishing the agents most frequently encountered in routine practice and in the literature.
Retrospective Review of 500 Patients Treated With AbobotulinumtoxinA
Oscar Hevia MD|Background: Prior international clinical experience and domestic controlled clinical trials provide useful guidance for dosing of a new botulinum toxin type A, abobotulinumtoxinA. Nonetheless, aftermarket experience is paramount in providing confirmatory "real world" information on any recently introduced drug. This report describes the incorporation of abobotulinumtoxinA into an established clinical practice that previously only utilized onabotulinumtoxinA for facial rejuvenation Description: Retrospective review of 500 patients who received abobotulinumtoxinA injections. Results: A total of 736 abobotulinumtoxinA treatments were administered to 500 patients. The most common areas treated were corrugators, "crow's feet," frontalis, brow and platysma, respectively. A dose conversion ratio of 1:2.67 (onabotulinumtoxinA : abobotulinumtoxinA) was determined. The majority of adverse events were considered to be mild and self-limiting. There were three (0.6%) cases of ptosis. Conclusion: Since its recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), experience with abobotulinumtoxinA is evolving. Utilizing a dose conversion ratio of 1:2.67 units (onabotulinumtoxinA: abobotulinumtoxinA) and the same injection techniques, one can safely and effectively incorporate this new neurotoxin into his or her practice.
Formulation Composition of Botulinum Toxins in Clinical Use
Andy Pickett PhD and Karen Perrow PhD|The use of botulinum toxin (BoNT) has now become the treatment of choice for a range of debilitating neuromuscular diseases and for aesthetic medicine. BoNT products are licensed as prescription-only medicines by the health authorities of each country in which they are approved. The authors describe here the current status with regard to BoNT formulations and detail more precisely what is in each product. These data have been presented previously, in a fragmented way, in papers that discuss characteristics of the BoNT products but not the formulations in detail. This information is essential for clinicians in order to enable informed decisions about which products they wish to use clinically. The authors have also examined developments that are either in progress or likely to occur, based on currently available information.
Failure of Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Localized Vitiligo
Ghada A. BinSaif MD, Abdullah Al Samary MD, Saad Al Mohizea MD|Background: It was found that acetylcholine concentration increased with a significantly reduced expression of acetylcholinesterase in vitiliginous patches that return to normal upon repigmentation. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin A in patients with localized vitiligo. Methods: Ten patients were recruited. Eight patients had two or more focal vitiliginous patches. Two had segmental vitiligo. For each patient with focal vitiligo, one or two vitiliginous patches were treated. For each patient with segmental vitiligo, half of the lesion was treated. The untreated parts were used as a control. Botulinum toxin was injected. The response was analyzed at the initial visit, and then two weeks, two months and six months after therapy. Results: Thirteen vitiliginous patches were treated. Reassessment showed no evidence of repigmentation. Comparing treated versus untreated sides, no differences were found. No adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: Botulinum toxin is not effective in the treatment of localized vitiligo.

Lupo MD FAAD, Glenda Swetman MD, William Waller MD|Objectives: To determine if there is any effect on tolerance, adverse events or clinical outcome when lidocaine is added to large gel particle hyaluronic acid (LGP-HA). Materials and Methods: Single-centered, double-blinded, randomized, with-in patient trial, comparing patient comfort when receiving LGP-HA injections versus injections of LGP-HA mixed with lidocaine hydrochloride 2% (LGP-HA + L). Results were determined through patient questionnaires, standardized Canfield photography and blinded physician assessors. Participants were followed for six months. Results: Eighteen females were enrolled and completed the study. The average pain rating was significantly less when LGP-HA + L was administered as reported by participants and blinded investigators. Average rating of bruising and redness were less with LGP-HA + L, but not significant. After six months, 100 percent of participants and 100 percent of the primary and secondary blinded investigators reported no difference in clinical outcome or longevity between the different treatments. There was no difference in adverse events. Conclusion: This is the first trial to report a six-month follow-up in a split-face study comparing LGP-HA + L to LGP-HA alone. All participant and investigator reports found symmetry of the NLFs at six months, thus demonstrating that the addition of lidocaine to LGP-HA does not affect longevity. Administration of LGP-HA + L is associated with less patient discomfort than administration of LGP-HA alone.
A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Efficacy and Safety Study of 3.75% Imiquimod Cream Following Cryosurgery for the Treatment of Actinic Keratoses
Joseph L. Jorizzo MD, Orit Markowitz MD, Mark G. Lebwohl MD, Marc Bourcier MD, James Kulp BS, Tze-Chiang Meng MD, Sharon Levy MD|Objective: Evaluate cryosurgery followed by 3.75% imiquimod cream to treat actinic keratoses (AK). Methods: Adults with ≥10 AKs on the face underwent cryosurgery of five to 14 lesions. Subjects with ≥5 lesions remaining were randomized to 3.75% imiquimod or placebo cream applied to the entire face daily for two two-week cycles. Efficacy was assessed through week 26. Results: For the cryosurgery/3.75% imiquimod (n=126) and cryosurgery/placebo (n=121) groups, respectively, median total AK reductions were 86.5 and 50 percent, and proportions of subjects with complete clearance were 30.2 and 3.3 percent (P<0.0001, both). Analyzing cryosurgery-treated lesions only, median reductions were 100 and 80 percent (P=0.0008), and subject complete clearance rates were 59.5% and 29.8% (P<0.001), respectively. Only one subject discontinued for a treatment-related adverse event (cryosurgery/3.75% imiquimod group). Limitations: Cryosurgery was performed per usual study center practice and not standardized. Conclusion: A short, cyclical treatment course of field-directed daily 3.75% imiquimod cream following lesion-directed cryosurgery was well tolerated and provided additional therapeutic benefits to cryosurgery alone.
Onychomycosis Therapy: Past, Present, Future
Aditya K. Gupta MD PhD FAAD FRCP(C), Michael Uro DPM, Elizabeth A. Cooper BESc HBSc|Methods to treat onychomycosis are varied, using therapies that can be categorized as topical, oral or device-related. Since their development, oral therapies have represented the gold standard for treatment over other methods. However, efficacy with oral therapies remains limited, and safety may be an issue, leaving many patients requiring alternative treatments. With research advances, topical therapies as alternatives for onychomycosis are being investigated with greater interest as new technologies are overcoming previous limitations of topical treatments, such as lack of nail penetration. New device-related topical therapy methods are particularly noteworthy, as they may allow for shorter, more convenient treatments for patients, reducing issues with topical compliance, and, in cases of non-drug light-based therapies, they will avoid potential for drug reactions. Research in these fields is preliminary, and the impact these methods may have on the future of onychomycosis remains to be seen.
Mechanism of Action and Clinical Benefits ofColloidal Oatmeal for Dermatologic Practice
Rino Cerio MD, Magdalene Dohil MD, Jeanine Downie MD FAAD, Sofia Magina MD, Emmanuel Mahé MD, Alexander J. Stratigos MD|Colloidal oatmeal has a long history of beneficial use in dermatology. It is a natural product that has an excellent safety record and has demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, drug-induced rash and other conditions. In recent years, in vitro and in vivo studies have begun to elucidate the multiple mechanisms of action of naturally derived colloidal oatmeal. Evidence now describes its molecular mechanisms of anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic activity. The avenanthramides, a recently described component of whole oat grain, are responsible for many of these effects. Studies have demonstrated that avenanthramides can inhibit the activity of nuclear factor κB and the release of proinflammatory cytokines and histamine, well known key mechanisms in the pathophysiology of inflammatory dermatoses. Topical formulations of natural colloidal oatmeal should be considered an important component of therapy for atopic dermatitis and other conditions and may allow for reduced use of corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors.
Clinical Efficacy of a Novel Sonic Infusion System for Periorbital Rhytides
Sona Shah BS and Tina S. Alster MD|Aging skin is a leading concern of most men and women seeking cosmetic dermatologic consultation. Various in-office procedures as well as topical at-home regimens, are generally prescribed to reduce the signs of aging, but relatively few provide immediate clinical benefit. A novel sonic infusion system that combines sonic micro-massage with an anti-aging serum was studied to determine its immediate effect on a wide range of patients with periocular rhytides. Clinical improvement of periocular rhytides was achieved after a single sonic infusion treatment (30 seconds/eye). Patients with more severe rhytides and those older than 40 years of age showed the best clinical results.
Review of Actinic Keratosis. Part I:Etiology, Epidemiology and Clinical Presentation
Leonard H. Goldberg MD and Adam J. Mamelak MD|Clinically, actinic keratoses (solar keratoses) are keratotic lesions that occur on chronically sunlight-exposed skin. Histologically, they are epidermal tumors. Presenting with a spectrum of clinical features, actinic keratoses are believed to be predictors and precursors of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. This, the first of a two-part overview, examines the etiology and epidemiology of actinic keratoses, their clinical and histological features and their role in the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
Hyaluronic Acid Filler and Botulinum Neurotoxin Delivered Simultaneously in the Same Syringe for Effective and Convenient Combination Aesthetic Rejuvenation Therapy
Julie R. Kenner MD PhD|Facial aesthetics and rejuvenation techniques have been evolving, with the most commonly applied techniques being the use of hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum neurotoxins. Because of complementary actions, it is common for both products to be used in the same anatomical sites to optimize outcomes, either administered consecutively at one visit or at two separate visits. The author shows for the first time that hyaluronic acid (HA) and botulinum neurotoxin (BNT) can be delivered in combination in the same syringe — at the same time — to rejuvenate the upper face. Not only does concomitant administration result in excellent clinical outcome, without apparently compromising the attributes of either product alone, but this technique enhances the patient experience by allowing the use of small-gauge needles and inherently decreasing, by half or more, the number of needle sticks incurred. Larger studies are underway to study optimal techniques for administering HA and BNT combined in a single syringe.
Clinical Trial Review is a JDD department designed to provide physicians with information on drugs undergoing clinical testing. It is our goal to inform the reader of the status of select drug trials relevant to the practice of dermatology before this information is available through standard channels. To participate in or learn more about these and additional trials, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Pipeline Previews brings to you information on the newest drugs and medical products as they become available to the dermatological community. This department may include additional information from the manufacturers, plus reports from physicians who wish to share their clinical experience with these new products. In addition, we will inform our readers about the latest drugs receiving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. We trust you will find this information beneficial to your practice and research.
Case Reports
Urticarial Hypersensitivity Reaction Caused by Temozolomide
Salma Pothiawala MD MPH, Mei-Yu Hsu MD, F. Clarissa Yang MD, Santosh Kesari MD PhD, Omar A. Ibrahimi MD PhD|Temozolomide is an oral alkylating agent approved for the treatment of glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma, and is currently under clinical investigation for the treatment of brain metastases from a variety of cancers. Temozolomide is well tolerated, and the reported dermatologic side effects of this medication are limited. Here, the authors report the first case of an urticarial hypersensitivity reaction induced by temozolomide. As this drug will likely be increasingly utilized in the near future, it is important to be aware of its potential to cause adverse cutaneous manifestations.
Subcutaneous Fat Necrosis/Panniculitis and Polyarthritis Associated With Acinar Cell Carcinoma of the Pancreas: A Rare Presentation ofPancreatitis, Panniculitis and Polyarthritis Syndrome
Jessica Borowicz DO PGY-3, Megan Morrison BS, Daniel Hogan MD, Richard Miller DO FAOC|An 82-year-old man presented with a two-week history of three painful, inflamed nodules on his lower extremities with symmetric arthritis of multiple joints. He was under the care of hospice for end-stage acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas. His serum amylase and lipase levels were markedly elevated. An incisional biopsy revealed lobular inflammation of subcutaneous fat, focal fat necrosis with saponification/ghost cells and scattered foreign-body type giant cells consistent with pancreatic fat necrosis/pancreatic panniculitis. This is hypothesized to be initiated by autodigestion of subcutaneous fat secondary to systemic spillage of excess digestive pancreatic enzymes. Enzymes such as amylase, lipase and trypsin are increased in the bloodstream and can affect remote tissues, such as the subcutaneous fat and articular surfaces of joints. This report, along with the patient's clinical findings, was consistent with PPP syndrome: pancreatic disease, polyarthritis and panniculitis. Although the pancreatic disease of PPP syndrome usually includes pancreatitis, this case represents a report of polyarthritis and panniculitis occurring in the presence of pancreatic carcinoma.
Palliative Treatment of Paraneoplastic Acanthosis Nigricans With Oral Florid Papillomatosis With Retinoids
Sara L. Swineford MD and Carol R. Drucker MD|Malignant acanthosis nigricans (MAN) with oral florid papillomatosis is a rare paraneoplastic condition affecting the skin and mucocutaneous tissues associated with an underlying malignancy. It is characterized by proliferation of keratinocytes resulting in papillomatous change and hyperpigmentation of the skin and multiple confluent warty or verrucous lesions of the oral mucous membranes. The oral involvement can interfere with the patient's ability to eat and drink. There is no specific therapy for this complication. Treatment of the underlying malignancy can lead to improvement of symptoms, but the degree of improvement varies. Here, the authors present a case of MAN with oral florid papillomatosis associated with gastric adenocarcinoma that was treated with oral retinoids resulting in significant clinical improvement of the hyperkeratosis and hyperpigmentation as well as improved patient functionality.

reveilles were in the mood for Indian food last night, so we tried Dakshin in Framingham. (For some reason, they seem to have two webpages. Here is the other one.)
When we were walking from our car to the restaurant, I could smell the food from the other side of the street. I also noticed several Indian couples walking into the restaurant. Both of these signs led me to believe we were in for a good meal and I was right!
For an appetizer, we had vegetable samosas. In texture these were similar to other samosas I've had, but they were far superior as far as taste went. The samosas had spice mixed into the filling which gave them some heat but was not overpowering. For dinner, reveilles had lamb korma and I had chicken tikka dosa. I had never had a dosa before and decided to try one. I can only describe it as a really big, very thin crepe, which was wrapped around chicken tikka, onions, and peppers. As with the samosas, the entrees were well balanced: spicy, but not overpowering. They had enough heat to be pleasantly spicy, but they were not painful. We ordered a garlic naan to go with our meal, which had enough garlic on it to make me happy. While not important to us, all of their meats are certified halal.
The only negative thing was they did not do a good job of packing our leftovers. They packed the korma in the same container as the dosa, so the crepe-like portion of the dosa was soggy from the sauce from the korma by the time we got home. They put some of the side sauces in the same container as the rice, but not sealed in anything, so they got onto the rice during transit.
Still, the food was excellent and I'm sure we will be going back to Dakshin in the future. When we do, I will probably order from the Indian-Chinese fusion section of the menu now that I know the quality of their food.

The details surrounding a Christmas Eve double homicide in Markham are murky as York Regional Police remain tight-lipped.
A man walked to a Newmarket police station Tuesday around 11 a.m. to report an incident, which led to the discovery of two unidentified females, police said.
One of the victims was found in an apartment building at McCowan Rd. and Hwy. 407. The other deceased was discovered about 5 kilometres away in a parking lot at Hwy. 7 and Warden Ave.
David Howe, 47, of Penetanguishene, Ont., was arrested at the police station and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He appeared in a Newmarket court Wednesday. His next appearance is Friday.
The two victims are not blood-related, but police have reason to believe that both women "somehow are known to the gentleman that's been arrested," Insp. Gary Miner said.
Police refused to release more information about the victims until next of kin have been notified, Const. Laura Nicolle told the Star. By nightfall of Christmas Day, family had not been reached.
"It's Christmas, nobody should have to find out any other way than the most appropriate notification that we can do," Nicolle said.
Post-mortems are scheduled for Thursday.
Nicolle would not say if Howe was known to police. The Ontario Provincial Police, which has a detachment in Penetanguishene, refused to comment on whether Howe was known to local officers.
Anyone with information can contact the Homicide Unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865, email the Homicide Unit at email@example.com , or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

I searched for my late-teenage daughter an online place where young people like her could find out about various domains of learning and expertise, from philosophy to marketing, from psychology to the environment, from economics to biochemistry. Not the kind of in-depth, all-round encyclopedia, but a place where important themes of human thought are outlined, explained, discussed and ultimately put in connection with what is going on in the world right now. I couldn't find any such place – maybe I didn't search properly. But before giving it another try, I set up The Rose and Its Name.
What for?, you might ask. First, to help such young people find the domain that might interest them and at the same time to stir their fantasy and stimulate them to keep searching independently. Also, to help them get exposure to the themes that are discussed in quality circles, publications, books or events. In the Middle Ages there was the scolastic training in logic, astronomy, Aristotelian or Platonian thinking; but in our times? Schools is where they learn (in the best of cases) to get to university. The knowledge that I wish to gather in The Rose and Its Name should be to get them social access to the quality people they might want to spend their lives with.

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper where we post about one book that has been hanging out on our wish list (either for a long time, or not so long)
Ok, I'll admit that I did a happy dance when I saw this week's Wishlist Wednesday book pop up in my coming soon recommendations from Amazon…Lisa Kleypas has been a historical romance favorite of mine for years (I think I've read every single one of her historicals, multiple times over the years), however, over the last few years, she has gone the contemporary romance/magical realism/paranormal-ish romance route and personally, I haven't been a fan of those. So the fact that she has a new historical coming out in October is enough to make me jump with joy.
A twist of fate…
Devon Ravenel, London's most wickedly charming rake, has just inherited an earldom. But his powerful new rank in society comes with unwanted responsibilities . . . and more than a few surprises. His estate is saddled with debt, and the late earl's three innocent sisters are still occupying the house . . . along with Kathleen, Lady Trenear, a beautiful young widow whose sharp wit and determination are a match for Devon's own.
A clash of wills…
Kathleen knows better than to trust a ruthless scoundrel like Devon. But the fiery attraction between them is impossible to deny—and from the first moment Devon holds her in his arms, he vows to do whatever it takes to possess her. As Kathleen finds herself yielding to his skillfully erotic seduction, only one question remains:
Can she keep from surrendering her heart to the most dangerous man she's ever known?
Cold-Hearted Rake will be released by Avon Romance in October 2015

I've met people that have moved in one year more times than cats have lives. I have also met people that were born in the living room of the dwelling in which they currently reside. I find myself somewhere in the middle (I've moved about eight times in my life). If I have learned anything from moving, it is that moving is a wild little ride. I make this statement from my own experience and one that I have a great perspective on. You see, as I write this I'm sitting in the DOL change my address. I know it can all be done online, but my internet provider has yet to get me connected at my new place. I suppose I could go to Starbucks, the library, or work…but call me old-fashioned, I just want to interact with a human, and know it's done right. So, I sit here in this sorry excuse for a chair in a room full of impatient people and think about what makes moving such a wild little ride. I've condensed it into five major pieces. They are as follows:
1. Packing. Packing the stuff from the old place and getting it ready to move into the new one in one clean sweep.
2. Planning. Getting the trucks, trailers, and friends, to physically move your things to the new residence.
3. Timing. Timing is crucial. Timing the packing, the check out, the walk through, the loading, the moving, the coffee and crueler break that your friends deserve for helping you, the boys unpacking, change of address so your Dollar Shave Club razors are waiting for you at your new place…the list goes on.
4. Unpacking. Although the trucks, trailers, and friends have cruised into the sunset, the boxes and stuff still remain. Unpacking and seeing/remembering what you have is the next piece to this dynamic puzzle.
5. Address change. Finally, there's a change of address that takes place by visiting or logging on to the various sites that send you things (most of which you wish they'd not send you in the first place) via mail. Even if you are paperless, they still have to have your address. I can only assume they need your address in case they want to come over for dinner one night.
6. Stage and settle. Lastly, is the staging and placing of your things in the new house. Your home is your place of peace and where you go to not lose all your marbles. Be careful not to stress too much about staging and making every doily and silverware drawer perfect. After all, if the past is a indication of the future, you'll be doing this all over again sooner than you may think.
So, there it is. That is the five major pieces of the moving process. Hold on, and stay calm, you'll make it through and be better for it. Wait…I described six major pieces…well shoot. Like I said, moving is a wild little ride. Buckle up and keep smiling. I'd love to tell ya more but, they just called my number.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – As more and more people extend their job searches, they may also be extending their commutes to work. But is a long commute impacting your health?
According to an IBM commuter pain study, over half of those polled indicated the stress of traffic caused them anger and sleep problems. A 2004 study from the International Stress Management Association even indicated some commuters experience stress levels comparable to fighter pilots or riot police officers. KYW Newsradio asked commuters what causes all that stress.
"Just traffic everywhere you go these days. It's slowed up and taking twice as long to get places than it should be, you know?"
Kuznits: "How does it affect your stress level?"
"Uh, driving is stressful!"
Kuznits: "What's the most stressful part of your commute?"
"Dealing with drivers who are not aware of the laws of the road."
Kuznits: "Nobody knows how to drive?"
"No. Not at all."
Some folks say problems arise from a lack of control over the situation.
"If something's running late, if the trolley's running late, it gets stressful."
Kuznits: "Because there's nothing you can do about it?"
"No. You're stuck!"
How do you take your mind off your commute?
"If you're taking the train, bring something to read or (listen to) some music."

Ok so you all know how I feel about the WWW versus the printed word, here is further proof that you just can't beat reading an actual magazine. And the best bit is the more you thumb through them and the more dogeared they get the better they become. Don't get me wrong, I use the internet everyday, its a great hub of information, from Google maps to the 100_best_bike_crashes_ever.com. But, think about this, a magazine is paper, and ink, they smell great, they look good on the coffee table or sitting on the toilet cistern. You can show the grandkids some interesting stuff. You can start a fire with them, and you can even pull some hot babe down the pub with a copy. Ok I made that last bit up but hey, it could happen. Anyways, these 3 are brilliant and everyone should buy them ( along with DicE naturally )
If you want more info on these titles then search the....erm.... internet. Damn!.
