Todd Lanman, MD, of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery and ADR Spinal Restoration Center, gave several presentations on each of the three days of the 23rd Annual International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery Conference (ISASS23) Meeting in San Francisco, California.
In the first session of the conference, Dr. Lanman made a compelling case for why spine surgeons need to have the ability to provide patients with lumbar facet replacement. He presented cases that demonstrate how patients are severely affected by lumbar facet disease, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis from L2 to L5. Dr. Lanman went on to describe how the Total Posterior Spine (TOPS™) system, now approved in Europe, is making lumbar facet replacement a reality and greatly improving the lives of patients. Dr. Lanman suggests that total posterior spinal arthroplasty will gradually eclipse spinal fusion for many cases of spondylolisthesis, just as artificial disc replacement has eclipsed fusion for intervertebral disc diseases.
This talk was followed by a panel discussion that included Drs. Todd Lanman, Harel Deutsch, Roland Kent, and Luis Manuel Tumialán.
On the second day of ISASS23, Dr. Lanman reviewed the clinical and radiographic findings associated with periprosthetic osteolysis. In this rare complication of cervical disc replacement, the bone surrounding the implant degenerates. This bone breakdown may loosen the artificial disc, causing pain and dysfunction. Dr. Lanman recommended ways to clinically manage this unusual complication.
On the last day of the conference, Dr. Lanman presented 7-year Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial results of the M6-C cervical disc replacement device. Like other cervical disc trials, artificial disc replacement with M6-C is superior to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in reducing pain and neck disability. Reoperations rates are similar to other commercially-available artificial discs.
About Dr. Todd Lanman:
Todd Lanman, MD has over three decades of experience as a spinal neurosurgeon and has spent the last 25 years practicing spine surgery in Beverly Hills. In addition to being a world-renowned spinal surgeon, Dr. Lanman has also had 11 spinal surgeries, including spinal fusions and artificial disc replacements. Because of these experiences as a surgeon and as a patient, Dr. Lanman brings a unique perspective to his surgical practice.
About Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery:
Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery is committed to improving patients' quality of life by relieving pain and restoring spinal motion. The Beverly Hills practice has been at the leading edge of spine health for the past quarter of a century and most recently expanded nationwide with the Artificial Disc Replacement Spinal Restoration Center. Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery has and continues to pioneer artificial disc replacement and fusion revision surgeries to help neck and back pain sufferers live their best lives.

The episode of Deconstructing… covering Insidious was Written, Edited, and Narrated by Kier Gomes, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
When you’re recommending a spooky movie to your friends, how would you get them interested in Insidious (watch it HERE)? How would you describe what it’s about? Maybe you’d go straight to the obvious and explain that It’s another haunted house movie with demons and kids making creepy drawings. Or maybe you’d describe it as a story about a kid who gets caught in a paranormal mind-wrestle with a monster who wants to possess his body.
In either case, you’d be recommending a movie that sounds appealing, but lacks a certain uniqueness. See, Insidious is a far more interesting film that we often give it credit for. It’s a creepy, haunting, and even (at times) deep exploration of fear and trauma that is often overlooked.
Now, of course this movie quickly became a franchise- and with that, came the unfortunate case of this movie being viewed more as an entry in the catalogue, and less as an individual piece with its own unique aspects and ideology. This is a movie that (despite its PG-13 rating) explores dark themes that you may not see upon your first watch. But hey, that’ what I’m here for. We’re going to break down Insidious to its core and figure out exactly why all these years later, we’re still afraid of things that go bump in the night. I’m Kier Gomes with JoBlo Horror, and you’re watching Deconstructing.
Insidious is the story of Josh and Renai, a suburban family with 3 young kids- Dalton, Foster, and Cali. The family has just moved into a new home and after Dalton discovers something strange in the house, he falls into a coma as his parents begin experiencing ghostly terrors of their own and go to an infamous local medium for help. They need the help of Elise, a paranormal psychic, to send Josh into the ghost dimension and save Dalton’s life. But what they are about to go up against is much deeper than anyone could’ve thought it to be.
Now, I am going to talk more about what I think this movie is REALLY about, but before I can do that, we’re going to need some context. This movie is fairly easy to breakdown thanks to our fool-proof formula where I explain the Origin of how the movie came to be, then of course we’ll get into the legacy that the film has left, which in this case is quite hefty given the number of films there are in this series- then we’ll cleanse your pallet with some trivia before we get into the X-Factor, which is the segment where we celebrate the unique accidental successes of the movie. So, if you’re ready then stay out of the attic, because it’s time to hit play on Insidious.
ORIGIN
Insidious was directed by legendary horror director, James Wan, who you’d know as the first director of Saw, and the underrated puppet horror film, Dead Silence. So, James Wan, while enjoying working on Saw and ultimately being happy with the film- felt that Saw’s extreme violence and bloodiness may cause certain studios and producers to shy away from working with him. He wanted to show Hollywood that he could make other kinds of movies and to do it, he decided to take on Insidious as a way to create a scary experience for audiences, while also lacking the blood and guts that studios fear.
Now, Saw was made for only about $1.2 million, which for a film that mostly takes place in a single room with a handful of cast and crew makes sense. But Insidious was made with a reported budget of only $1.5 million, but has many more set pieces, a larger cast of characters, and tons of practical and visual effects- So, the budget being almost the same as Saw but having seemingly more visual ambition would prove to be a challenge for James Wan to overcome. The filmmakers overcame this obstacle by shortening the shooting schedule to just 21 days and working long hours to get the coverage they needed. Star Patrick Wilson has recalled the intense shooting schedule of the movie and went on record saying quote: “We had long days and a lot of pages a day, and we didn’t get a lot of coverage or rehearsal. But luckily, the benefit of doing a movie that’s not on a big budget—and the reason it’s usually done like that—is so if the filmmakers feel like, ‘OK, we’re not going to sacrifice anything on screen,’ which I don’t think they have, it lets them have complete control. So we were in good hands.”
Leigh Whannell wrote the script for the movie and of course we at JoBlo Horror love this combination of writer and director. While it seems the two have been busy working on their own projects, we hope it’s in the cards for them to team up once again on a new frightening tale. Whannell wrote the script for Insidious unsure of what the rating would be, but during filming in 2010 in Los Angeles, it became clear that the muted violence and lack of goo would warrant this film a PG-13 rating, which would make it much more accessible to young audiences. And speaking of young audiences, Lee Whannell was only about a year into being married at the time he wrote Insidious, which (I think) speaks to what this movie is really about. Josh (Wilson) plays a father who works too much, but cares for his wife and kids in his own way- usually offering logic or humor as his response to the horrors ensuing in their house and eventually their other house. But the character of Josh may have something more in common with Whannell, and we will DEFINITELY be getting to that.
LEGACY
When Insidious was released in theaters in 2011, it was a SMASH FUCKING HIT. The movie (as we know) was made for $1.5 million and its release saw a return of $100 million all in. I remember seeing this movie in theaters and noticing the audience was mostly made up of teenagers. And as such, there is quite a bit of hype among fans of the film for the new Insidious movie which will revisit the original story and family and will be debut directed by Patrick Wilson. Hard to believe but this is going to be the 6th Insidious chapter in the franchise. The film of course was such a success that it would spawn subsequent films that have some merit of their own but that’s a topic for another show! I think what people remember most about this movie is the demon. You know the one.
Now why is Insidious still in the conversation? Why make another one? I think the true legacy that this film left behind is the endless potential of “The Further” which is basically a dimension where ghosts and demons reside waiting for their chance to crossover. This movie only scratched the surface of the unlimited curiosities that live between worlds and fans keep coming back to see where the story can go next.
There isn’t much else to say about the legacy, and let’s be honest, you all are itching for some trivia.
TRIVIA
Did you know that the demon, the one with the boots with the fur? Well, this creepy bastard is actually played by Joseph Bishara, who you probably DON’T recognize, is actually the composer who provided the spine-chilling score of the movie. The musical themes and piano strikes add more than jump scares to the story, they create a sense of anxiety, dread, and otherworldliness that will make you shutter at every corner.
And before we move onto my theory on what Insidious is REALLY about, let’s see if you can answer this question:
Which actor was originally asked to play the role of “Josh” before Patrick Wilson was hired? A. Wes Bentley B. Ethan Hawke C. Bradley Cooper D. Rory Cochrane Comment your answer below!
THE X FACTOR
Alright, my friends… Here we are. The final showdown between me and this movie. Fans of the show will know that I love this segment. I take pride in finding deeper meaning in things that seemingly exist as a trope with no originality. And for today’s episode I thought long, and I thought hard, and I wanted to truly understand what makes Insidious so watchable and satisfying. And instead of teasing it for another 5 minutes while I praise the incredible lighting, fun cinematography and incredible set design- considering the film’s budget. Instead I’m just going to get right into it. And tell you- once and for all- what I think Insidious is really about.
SO, I mentioned earlier that writer Leigh Whannell wrote this script around the same time he was a newlywed. Well, at the time, Whannell didn’t have any kids, but being that he was freshly married, he and his wife may have been kicking around the idea of starting a family. Now, maybe I’m reaching- but here me out- has Dalton as our main character in that the entire story and the conflict within it are based around him. But the real main character of the piece is Josh Lambert. A teacher and father who loves his family but is dealing with his own internal anxieties. Josh isn’t selfish, but he certainly seems to be preoccupied with his own fears that he doesn’t seem to be communicating.
And it’s revealed near the end of the movie that Josh had been suppressing memories of his own encounters with evil spirits as a child- and had more experience with “The Further” than he could remember. This reveal ran the risk of being cheesy or highly interesting and I’m happy to say- It works.
But why would this be written into the story? Sure, it makes a good device to get Josh into the next dimension to save Dalton- but let’s face it- it’s a horror movie. They could’ve written anything into a script that dabbles in the otherworldly, but they chose- Leigh Whannell chose- to highlight Josh’s childhood trauma in a moment where the story is at its most unpredictable. Is it possible that… Leigh Whannell secretly wrote a movie about his own fear of being a father?
Look, on the surface I accept that Josh is just a prototypical horror film husband who seems uninvolved with his family and continuously gaslights his wife because he doesn’t understand the concept of scary shit happening in his own house. But if we look beyond that, we see a character who works too hard and avoids his family, and who has an unresolved trauma from his past that seems to be now tormenting his young son. And to conquer the emoji demon, to save Dalton’s life, he must confront his own haunting fears. Hell, Leigh has even publically talked about his struggles with anxiety and mental health and I think it’s fair to say that maybe he projected some of those fears (inadvertently or otherwise) into his own art.
So, is Insidious REALLY a movie about a person who is deathly afraid of having kids because they’re secretly afraid that their own trauma, their own irrational fears, their own baggage, their own bullshit- would be passed down to their children? Could it be that Whannell was really journaling his own thoughts into a story about demons and ghosts? Or would you still describe it as another movie where a kid does makes creepy drawings?

Laurel Road: Student loan debt is a major issue for Americans, with tens of millions of borrowers owing a staggering $1.76 trillion in federal and private student loan debt as of December 2022. Many struggle to pay off their debt, including recent graduates who might still be searching for steady employment.
Federal student loan borrowers may be able to pursue loan forgiveness through income-driven repayment plans or the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, if they're eligible. In addition, some individual states offer their own loan forgiveness programs that may prove helpful to qualified borrowers. In fact, the only state without any student loan forgiveness option is North Dakota, which removed its program in 2019. Here are four of the state governments that are taking action on student loan forgiveness, and some examples of the programs available:
Minnesota
Minnesota is one of the leading states in terms of student loan forgiveness programs, with six programs available to its residents. One such plan is the Minnesota Rural Physician Loan Forgiveness Program for healthcare professionals, which offers up to $33,000/year for four years if they work in underserved areas and facilities in the state. There are also loans for other medical professionals, such as nurses, pharmacists, and dentists, and a program for lawyers who work in the public interest and who graduated law from a qualifying school.
New York
New York offers varying amounts of student loan forgiveness to professionals in different fields, including healthcare workers, lawyers, and teachers. For example, the Young Farmers Loan Forgiveness Incentive Program encourages recent graduates to pursue farming careers in the state. This program provides up to $50,000 in forgiveness to borrowers who obtain a degree from an approved college or university and agree to operate a full-time farm in New York for five years.
Another potential option is the NYS Licensed Social Worker Loan Forgiveness Program, which offers an incentive to increase the number of licensed social workers working in critical human service areas, such as home care, mental health, substance abuse, and more. The program provides up to $26,000 for those who qualify.
Iowa
Iowa offers its residents six student loan forgiveness programs, including Teach Iowa Scholars, which provides up to $4,000/year of loan forgiveness for qualified teachers who work in schools in designated shortage areas for a maximum of five years.
The state also offers the Iowa Registered Nurse and Nurse Educator Loan Forgiveness Program, which provides loan forgiveness for registered nurses employed in Iowa and nurse educators teaching at eligible Iowa colleges and universities. And the Rural Iowa Primary Care Loan Repayment Program, created to address critical doctor shortages in rural communities, provides up to $200,000 in loan repayment to those that practice in approved locations for up to five years.
Arizona
Arizona's three programs include the Primary Care Provider Loan Repayment Program and Rural Private Primary Care Provider Loan Repayment Program. These offer forgiveness amounts between $4,000 and $65,000/year, depending on the area and how many years served. The program is meant to promote the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals by repaying qualifying loans in exchange for providing primary care services in designated Health Professional Shortage Areas or Arizona Medically Underserved Areas for two years.
Arizona also offers the Joyce Holsey's ALL (Arizona's Legal Legacy) Loan Repayment Assistance Program, which provides varying amounts to Arizona legal aid attorneys employed by an approved nonprofit organization.
State Programs for Forgiveness
Student loan debt is a significant issue for millions of Americans, but some states are taking action to help residents tackle their debt. From offering loan forgiveness programs for healthcare professionals who work in underserved areas to providing repayment assistance to teachers in qualifying public schools after graduation, these states are making a difference in the lives of their residents. State programs constantly change on a state by state basis. For the most up to date information please visit your home state website to see what programs are currently available.

Credello: Credit cards have become integral to our financial lives, offering convenience, rewards, and flexibility. When choosing the right credit card, one of the key factors to consider is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). What is APR on a credit card?
APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate, which represents the annualized cost of borrowing on a credit card. It includes the interest rate and any applicable fees the credit card issuer charges. The APR determines the finance charges you'll incur if you carry a balance on your card from month to month. It's important to note that credit cards typically have different APRs for purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances.
Now that you know what an APR is, what is a good APR for a credit card? A good credit card APR depends on your financial situation and creditworthiness. Generally, a lower APR is desirable as it means lower finance charges. However, remember that credit cards with 0% APR offers are particularly attractive because they allow you to purchase without incurring interest charges for a specified period. This interest-free period can be incredibly beneficial if you plan a large purchase or want to consolidate high-interest debt.
The best 0% APR credit cards for 2023
Citi Simplicity® Card
The Citi Simplicity® Card offers an impressive 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for an extended introductory period. With no annual and late payment fees, this card lives up to its name by keeping things simple and cost-effective.
Chase Freedom Unlimited®
The Chase Freedom Unlimited® card provides a 0% APR for a limited time, making it an excellent choice for those looking to make large purchases or transfer balances. It also offers cash back rewards on every purchase, adding to its appeal.
Discover it® Cash Back
The Discover it® Cash Back card combines a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers with a generous cash back rewards program. This card offers bonus rewards in rotating categories throughout the year and matches all the cash back you earn in your first year.
Wells Fargo Platinum Card
The Wells Fargo Platinum Card features a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for a lengthy introductory period. It also provides cell phone protection when you pay your monthly cell phone bill with the card, adding extra value to this already enticing offer.
American Express Cash Magnet® Card
The American Express Cash Magnet® Card offers a 0% APR on purchases for a specified period and a straightforward cash back program. With its no annual fee and other Amex perks, this card is worth considering.
Before applying for any credit card, it's important to carefully read the terms and conditions, including the duration of the 0% APR period, balance transfer fees, and other potential charges. Additionally, ensure you understand the APR after the introductory period ends, as it will impact your finances in the long run.
Bottom line
Finding a credit card with a 0% APR offer can be smart, especially if you have planned purchases or want to consolidate debt. Remember to review the terms and conditions and choose a card that aligns with your financial goals and spending habits.

Hallstar, a leading global supplier of specialty chemistry, is pleased to announce the promotion of Allan Koch to chief financial officer. In this role, he will be responsible for Hallstar's finance and accounting teams in all countries where the company operates, and will join the executive leadership team as a strategic advisor, reporting to the CEO and Chairman.
Chairman and CEO John Paro observed that this appointment is aligned with Hallstar's passion for people. "Our first choice is always to develop our own talented team so their responsibilities can increase naturally within the company. Allan knows our operation, our people and our core values. His deep understanding of our global financial position coupled with his strong personal integrity and longstanding relationships at Hallstar will serve him well as he takes on this broader role."
Having joined Hallstar in 2015 as the global controller and most recently serving as treasurer, Koch brings a wealth of experience to his new position. Prior to joining Hallstar, he held progressive roles at networking solutions provider CommScope, where he served as the Director of North America's accounting organization, supporting a >$1B business. Additionally, Allan led the finance function in multiple global locations at CommScope, including high-profile tenures in Mexico and India where both operations experienced remarkable growth.
During his impactful eight-year tenure at Hallstar, Allan has played a pivotal role in driving several transformative projects. He cites collaborating with his teammates on the successful SAP/ERP integration as a highlight. He was also instrumental in the reorganization of the company into two distinct commercial businesses, namely Beauty & Personal Care and Industrial Solutions, supported by a Shared Services group.
In addition to his prowess as a financial leader, Koch is an enthusiastic participant in many of Hallstar's outreach and training initiatives, including the annual Run/Walk benefitting Wellness House, an organization providing cancer support to the Chicagoland community. In 2021, he was selected to join the first cohort of senior staff members enrolled in the Hallstar Leadership Institute. Subsequently, he was invited to present on the topic of servant leadership to trainees in the same program the following year.
After receiving his BBA in Accounting from University of Wisconsin-Madison, Koch earned an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. He currently lives in the western suburbs of Chicago with his wife and their two children.
"I am humbled by the opportunity to join the Senior Leadership Team, where I will have the opportunity to collaborate with talented professionals across the organization," said Koch. "Together, we will navigate challenges and seize opportunities to further strengthen Hallstar's financial performance and create long-term value."
