Frequently Asked Questions
what is a photofacial and are thye useful?
I maybe getting a photofacial and microdermabrasion from american laser centers on monday and i was wondering if it was worth the money. I have minor sun damage on my skin. if not them, what's the best solution to fix my skin? thanks.
Here's more information about photofacial:
Since we don't know your symptoms, we can't really tell you what to do. But I hope the site helps you decide if the treatment will be beneficial for you.
If you have serious skin issues you can look them up here on www.webmd.com and see what the suggested treatment is for each one.
Good Luck!
Has anyone ever gotten IPL or photofacial? How were the results of just 1 and how long did they last?
I'm starting to get a few fine lines and I've always said I want to fight aging tooth and nail within reason. (ie I dont want to look fake and plastic, I'd rather have wrinkles.) Photofacial seems like a viable option for me providing it works and has lasting results.
An excellent site to consult is RealSelf.com. You can post online questions on the site and have numerous top notch board certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists respond giving full info and costs. Site is used by numerous others whom have undergone procedures and share their experiences, good and bad, on line. Some submit before and after photos.
Here is one question that was posted. "Fraxel or Photofacial for fine lines?"
and this is the posted response from Michael A. Persky, MD - Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon
"A series of Fraxel treatments will usually give you better results than a series of photo-facial treatments for fine lines and sun damage".

Has anyone ever had a photofacial for acne scars?
Specifically, the one I would like to try is called Curelight Photofacial rejuvenation and it is supposed to reduce redness. Has anyone seen any results with this or a similar procedure?
I had it done a few years back ... A big waste of money. At first I thought it might be working so i did more. The doctor fails to tell you photofacials are temporary. Ask they will tell you and they really didn't touch my scarring. I have light scarring on my cheeks and chin and some dark spots. I found tca peels work a lot better than the photofacials. I had a series of light 12% done and they worked well after a few but the stronger ones do work better. I am getting 25% now and am seeing improvement. Plus they are cheaper in the long run too.
How good are microdermabrasion and photofacials?
I am 42 years old and have been recommended microdermabrasion followed by photofacials (5 sittings each, 1 month apart) to remove pigmentation and rejeuvenate the skin. But the treatment costs a pretty packet and I want to know if its really effective. If yes, for how long? Are there any home remedies for pigmented patches? I live in a tropical region.
PS I have a normal to dry skin (in winters) and have never had a problem with acne at all.
I am male, close to your age, and live in a humid, semi-tropical climate (US Gulf Coast). I get microderms on a fairly regular basis; I love how smooth it makes my skin, and it also helps calm the redness of my mild rosacea. I can also tell it has help some old acne scars and it really helped to get rid of some stubborn blackheads (yuck).
Is that 1 month between treatments, or 1 month for all 5? If the latter, that sounds a bit rushed to me.
Not too sure about the photofacial, but if that's the same as IPL, you certainly want to spread it out some, as mine (for broken blood vessels, a common side-effect of rosacea) tends to be somewhat uncomfortable. In fact, before they got a different machine, it was downright painful, but perhaps for your application, they would tone it down a few notches...
I suspect that the photofacial does use IPL, so that is probably where the big expense is coming from. I think I would try two microderms only (no IPL) about 3 weeks apart and see how that does. In my area, one microderm runs about ...
Good luck.
Does anyone have any good and bad experience on using Photofacial laser treatment?
I have some aged/brown spots around my eye area, what's the best way to get rid of them? I am thinking about trying Photofacial, but really concerning about the safety of Photofacial. Does anyone have any good and bad experience on this? Thanks.
my aunt had it done and she ha no bad experience, I hope it helps.
Question for people who have had photofacials?
I recently had one, and was reading online how it is common to get a least a few in a series to see "full benefits." Well, they are very expensive and I don't plan on getting more done. By the way, I am getting treated for brown splotches/hyperpigmentation. I also take RetinA and am getting some other treatments as well.My question is: Can you see good results with only one photofacial? Tell me of your experiences after having just one done. Thanks!
I said for people who have had photofacials! Not people who don't know what they are!
i've never done a photofacial before. but if you really want to see the effect of the treatment, you have to do it with another session or so. and you said that your getting some other treatments.. with that how will you know the effect of the photofacial...
What can I realistically expect from a series of photofacials (as far as results)?
I have my first appointment for a series of photofacials tomorrow because I was recently diagnosed with rosacea. I have been doing research and I have come to learn that the disorder is progressive so I want to be as proactive as possible but at the same time realistic. So are the photofacial treatments "a silver bullet" against rosacea. First appointment is tomorrow @ 3 p.m. so please respond before then.
to be honest with you it is probably the best treatment results ive ever seen. i have babysat for dr bitter &his wife, and seen pictures of his results and even used some of the facial products. i'm a fan.
What kind of treatments work on african americans who have acne scars?
I have tried the microdermabrasion, but that did not work for me.. I have a brown complexion, so im thinking about trying the photofacial or chemical peel? I mean i know there is something out there that will help clear acne on african americans!! So plz give me some answers..
Acne is an annoying condition that can cause pain and embarrassment. Unfortunately, the condition can affect people from all areas and ethnic backgrounds. Many products are available for anyone suffering from acne. However, African American acne skin care is also available to help this particular ethnic group overcome the skin disorder.
If you are of African American descent and want to treat your acne, you should consult with a dermatologist. Many people believe that people with darker skin are not prone to sun damage or conditions suffered by other ethnic groups. The reality is that the extra melanin present in darker-skinned individuals makes their skin more sensitive and vulnerable to injury. This is why African Americans may be much more prone to scarring if they suffer from acne for long periods of time.
Fortunately, dermatologists and the health care industry are starting to realize that darker-skinned individuals require different skin care. Traditional products and methods were focused on combating acne and conditions for lighter-skinned individuals. Fortunately, new products are being developed specifically for people of different ethnic backgrounds. These products are often much gentler and less abrasive on the skin.
After extensive research, many products and treatment methods now reduce the risk of a condition called hyper or hypopigmentation that is prevalent in African Americans. The term refers to dark or light spots that appear on the skin and can result from acne. Treatments such as chemical peels are often used to combat acne. However, they are applied with a lower-strength solution for darker-skinned individuals. New lasers that transmit longer pulses are also used for different ethnic groups as they are better-suited for pigmented skin. Treatments such as Restalyne and collagen injections are also not suited for African Americans who have an increased tendency to develop raised scar tissue, known as keloids.
African Americans are not immune to skin disorders such as acne. However, the increased pigment in their skin requires special care to treat the condition. These individuals should choose special products geared towards sensitive skin. They should also find dermatologists who will perform procedures specifically tailored to darker-skinned individuals.
are you supposed to tip the person who does photofacials?
i am having a series of photofacials done. they are very expensive and done by a operator not a doctor am i supposed to tip her?
If it's a cosmetologist, they probably aren't making the big bucks on the treatment, the spa is. If you can afford , that would be nice. However, I'm sure a lot of people don't, so whatever you can afford.
What kind of facial skin treatment should I get?
I want to select one treatment (the longer lasting, the better) to address all of these concerns:
-tighten pores
-remove or lighten small red spots from broken capellaries/acne scars
-fine lines around eyes, on forehead, and sides of mouth
-general firmness and tightness
I was thinking of getting an IPL photofacial, but I am wondering what might be better?

yes it works and its worth the money! try it you will be pleased good luck!
Which gives better results in skin appearance and texture, IPL or LHE photofacial?
Which gives better results in skin appearance and texture, the IPL or LHE photofacial? I know that some say LHE is the newer technology and it gives better results for hair removal but I'm more concerned with the laser effects on the overall appearance of lines, scars, broken capillaries, etc.
You should go for the IPL.
Ok to do Photofacial & facial waxing on the same day?
Is it too much? They said they will do waxing first and then the IPL photofacial which includes a regular facial.
Will this stop my skin from breaking out after the waxing like it usually does.
Advice please! Thank you

What would be the best option to remove freckles?
Does anyone have any experience with any of the following treatments?
- Laser Resurfacing
- Liquid Nitrogen (Cryosurgery)
- Chemical Peel
- Photofacial / IPL Treatment
Should I just get photofacial or a laser treatment and then photofacial for black dots removal?
These black dots are on my face. I went to 2 different doctors to see what each one says. One doctor says that I have to get a laser treatment(it looks like exuision, not sure what it says) before photo facial and rest a bit then go back and do photo facial. But the other doctor says that I just need photo facial.
Which one is better and what is the difference? Which one should I do?
I don't know about laser treatment, but I have had 2 photofacials recently. I had them done because I had dark brown splotches on my face from the birth control pill. The photofacials are very expensive, but they work great. I just needed two treatments to clear up my problems. Granted, they won't give you flawless, perfect skin, but will significantly clear up unwanted pigmentation and other skin issues, to the point where I feel like my skin looks normal again. Just be prepared to shell out a lot of money! Good luck.
What is the difference between laser hair removal and a fotofacial (photofacial) ?
Are they both safe for face and underarms.
Hair removal - obvious.
Fotofacial - cosmetic enhancement to rid skin of sun damage etc.
2 different things.
where can I find a reputable place in San Diego?
where I can get a photofacial done? I have rosacea and read that Intense pulse lIght helps a lot when people have rosacea. Anybody know of a well established place in San Diego, or north county San Diego? I need some help ASAP!!!!
I reccomend Dr. Mani, staff there is super nice. If you call and ask - they will give you a freebie visit and show you the before and after book pictures. Good luck
How much time and how many photofacials did it take for you to notice an improvement in your skin?
I had a series of 4, 3 weeks apart about 2 years ago and it did wonders for my skin, I still see the results to this day. I originally did it because I had very large pores but I noticed how much it lifted and tightened my skin too. The pores shrank a bit but I loved the secondary effect that I didn't expect.
Does anyone know anything that helps melasma on the face?
Has anyone had success using anything to help with melasma? Mine isn't horrible but it does really bother me. I have done photofacials and 1 fraxel treatment that helped alot but there is still some left. I just started using a hq kojic acid cream... Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
Beauty procedures allowed during pregnancy?
Hi! Does anyone have a list of beauty procedures allowed during pregnancy. I really would like to know about photofacials and chemical peels? I would love to have a list of things allowed so I can still pamper myself before the little one arrives.... Does anyone have anything they did to make themselves feel more beautiful?
many treatments are not recommended in the first trimester.
waxing - except facial - is not reccomended as it increases blood flow to the skin so abdominal waxing, bikini etc it too close to baby.
electrotherapy treatments are a no no at any stages as it involves electricity being passed through electrodes hel by the client which passes through their body, the electricity is attracted to the therrapists hands, it travels through them and into the ground.
massage is ok as long as you are comfortable with it, you can also get special pregnancy massages.
mani/pedi is ok as long as no essential oils are used if a massage is carried out, massage should be done with moisturiser instead.
facials are ok but again the same applies with the essentail oils.
eyelash / eyebrow tinting is a no no due to the usage of peroxide
tanning is ok too
What cpt codes for photofacial treatments are covered by insurance?
Medically necessary cosmetic procedures are sometimes covered by medical insurance
Just having the codes will not be sufficient information to determine whether any procedure will be covered by insurance.
Carriers will cover different procedures. Each carrier may also offer different types of insurance coverage so not all plans from the same carrier will cover the same procedures.
It's probably best to work with your dermatologist to determine whether any procedure will be covered.
Good luck.
Are photofacials(ipl) treatments really good for rosacea?
I have had 2 very expensive treatments and I dont see a big differance. I was told 3 treatments would do it but I dont think so. I am wondering if they set the laser on lower settings so you have to come back more so they can make more money?
Yes, IPL can treat rosacea -- but it doesn't cure it. Rosacea is a chronic, progressive condition that can be controlled -- but not cured. DPL (dye-pulsed laser) can be more effective than IPL. Both of these treatments work much better in people with very fair, light skin than in people with darker complexions. If you have a dark complexion, these treatments would be a waste of time. DPL is probably more effective with fewer treatments, so it is probably more cost effective than IPL. You need, generally, at least five IPL treatments for good results. One or two DPL treatments can show results for rosacea.
If you are going to a "medi-spa" instead of seeing a dermatologist for your IPL treatments, you may not be receiving treatment from someone adequately trained to perform the procedure.
What are some home remedies for bleaching my skin?
I have dark scars and spots all over my body and I would like to know if there is any home remedies for bleaching skin. No Micheal Jackson joke or you should be proud of your skin color or it's dangerous to bleach your skin.
There are no effective or safe ways to 'bleach' your skin. There are effective ways to remove hyperpigmentation, sunspots and dark scars. It's called a Photofacial or Fotofacial. It's a laser treatment that kills cells with dark pigment and leaves the healthy ones alone. It works very well. The dead cells rise to the skin's surface and flake off. FYI you will look pretty horrible for the first 24-48 hours and will not be allowed to wear makeup so plan for that. Also be prepared to have 3 or more treaments and spend some $$$.
How do you get rid of broken blood vessels on your face?
I got sick last nigh and threw up. Now I have tons of broken blood vessels around my eyes and I look ridiculous.
How do you get rid of them?
I've read that icing them or taking Vitamin K is supposed to help.
If they don't go away, the next option is an IPL photofacial. I've had one on the bridge of my nose for 4 years and would like to get rid of it, so I've looked into having this kind of treatment done, and unfortunately I've found it's very expensive (0-0 CAD).
How can I become a certified cosmetic laser technician?
I am interested in becoming a cosmetic laser technician. You know those people who do laser hair removal, and double eyelid surgery. I want the best education possible. Does anyone know how long it takes to get certified and how much the usually make? Plus locations where I can go to school for it. Anyone who is currently working in the profession please give more details. Thank You.
I am a medical aesthetician and I do laser hair removal, photofacials, and a process called photodynamic therapy for acne. Learning how to use the laser was quite frankly, something that just happened to come along because the Plastic Surgeon that I happen to be working with decided he wanted to offer this service in his practice.
My suggestion is this: Either go to school to become a Medical Aesthetician or become a Certified Medical Assistant and put your sites on working either with a Plastic Surgeon or a dermatologist who offer laser treatments within their facility. You'll need to go online and find out where there are schools that offer Medical Aesthetician courses. These schools usually have training in laser technology which when it comes to looking for a job, this could prove to be a valuable piece of info on your resume. Good luck to you.
What kind of face washes are best for skin with broken capillaries?
I've used apricot scrub for years, and I just found out it's probably not helping the capillaries around my nose and cheeks. I'm totally clueless on what to use. Any suggestions?
To clarify, I know that face wash won't heal the capillaries, but I want to know what kind of formulas would be the gentlest for my type of skin.
Gentle cleansers are the best. IPL treatments, or Photofacials really work well if you ever want to get rid of them. If you want something affordable, go with Cetaphyl cleansers. make sure you moisturize and wear sunblock! Broken capillaries can get worse from irritation (possibly your scrub), and when the skin thins due to aging and sun damage. If you want to try a results line for facial redness, I recommend PCA Anti Redness Serum.
What cosmetic procedure helps with blotchiness of the skin?
I'm almost 18 in a couple of weeks but I have fair delicate skin and it gets blotchy in the sun. All those teen years of lying out have made me build up some blotchiness. What is the best affordable cosmetic procedure for me?
IPL (intense pulse light) Photofacial will clear you up!
(Provided you are a lighter complexion person, if you're a darker complexion person then hydroquione solution will work - Try PCA (Physician Choice of Arizona) they have a great line.
How much does a micro dermabrasion treatment cost?
My brother has acne scars his face and want to know how much it is or does our heath insurance cover it?
usually health insurance doesn't cover it. I got a bonus of 1500 dollars from work and used it toward treatments for my face. I paid 1200 dollars cash and got 3 photofacial treatments along with microdermabrasions before each one. Along with chemical peels. they will work with you. they helped me out alot. but i did pay alot but got a lot in return with their generosity to me and my problems. they were great. i went to perfect skin center in mesa arizona.
I'm getting fine lines/sagging corners of mouth in early 20's. How can I prevent/reverse this?
I'm in my early 20's and already getting noticeable fine lines and sagging around my mouth! The smile lines don't bother me as much as the fact that lines right by the corners of my mouth have started to form... and sag a bit. I'm sure it's only noticeable to me right now, but I want to prevent progression as much as I can!
I smile a lot, and there are definite fine lines that have formed in the creases that appear when I smile. I know wrinkling is normal, but I've read that hypothyroidism can accelerate the aging process. I was diagnosed three years ago, and while my hormone levels are where they should be, I still have a lot of symptoms. (pale skin, thin hair, bad memory, dry skin, fatigue)
I wash my face and moisturize every day with the Shiseido Pureness line. I remember to wear sunscreen most days (I'm forgetting more because it's early spring, I'm not venturing outside much). I drink about 7 cups of water a day (planning on upping that) and am trying to improve my diet. I don't know much about anti-aging creams or moisturizers or any kind of wrinkle prevention, so all help is appreciated!
You can use this device, called the Tanda photofacial device, and it basically reverses and stops all fine lines and wrinkles in their tracks. I use it, and it works great.
Btw, it's a myth about your diet and how skin looks. Diet will affect nothing, nor does it cause acne or anything like that. Try drinking from straws less, they cause lines and wrinkles around the mouth so quick.
I Own a Small Laser Hair Removal Business and What Search Words Would You Use?
If you were wanting laser hair removal what way would you search for it? What search words would you use? What would be the important things about chosing the right place?

How do I get rid of stretch marks?
What are some products or things I can use to get rid of or reduce the appearance of stretch marks? Don't say lazer surgery .
If the stretchmarks are newer and not very deep, microdermabrasion could work. Otherwise, laser treatments like Fraxel Laser Resurfacing, Laser Skin Rejuvenation, and IPL Photofacial would be your best bet. Since you don't want laser treatments, I suggest looking into newer topical creams such as StriVectin. Creams don't eliminate stretchmarks, but after eight weeks of regular use you could see a significant improvement in the appearance of the marks.
ETA: I forgot about this article! I added it to the sources. It's five of the best stretch mark creams on the market. Definitely worth taking a look at.
Hope this helps.

How to get rid of stretch marks, scars and back acne?
I wanna know how to get rid of them.
my friends always tell me i have a "killer body"
but my chest has stretch marks.. and i have scars from back acne. and its an insecurity.
any help?
There are tons of non-surgical options for getting rid of your stretch marks and acne, I know what its like to feel insecure about that; SO not fun :-/. Here are some tips about your options; hope it helps at least a little.
Microdermabrasion for Stretch Marks – A deep exfoliation like Microdermabrasion can do wonders on newer, more superficial stretch marks. Microdermabrasion, however, has little effect on deeper, white stretch marks.
Microdermabrasion seems perfect for your condition b.c it is really good for getting rid of acne too. It is pretty affordable (5 per treatment) and you start seeing results after your first treatment.
Other non surgical stretchmark treatments:
Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks – Several laser methods can be used for treating stretch marks. Laser Skin Resurfacing, can peel off a layer of skin, allowing newer and hopefully stretch-free skin to grow back in its place.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation, on the other hand, does not remove skin, but helps your body create new collagen. Stretch marks form partially because they've lost healthy collagen and a laser procedure can help restore that.
IPL Photofacial has proven effective for restoring collagen growth in stretch marks.
You should to talk to a doctor or specialist about your problem, that way you can find the best solution for your specific case. You can set up free consults with the best doctors and specialists in your area at healthyskinportal.com, that way you don't have to commit to it until you have all the information about the treatment.
Hope this helps, good luck!
How can I make my skin lighter?
so the sun has made my skin darker because its summer. so how do i make my skin liqhter or go back to its original color ?
Kinerase Photofacials lightens skin, but you ought to use the entire skin regimen, so you don't further damage your skin, although the treatment is expensive it is well worth the result in my opinion. Wearing the SPF 50 moisturizer is your best defense. You can find it at a dermatologist or the cheaper way (Nordstrom and Sephora both carry the line).
I hope this helps!
How to get rid of grooves under eyes?
I am just 21 and I have grooves under eyes. Please suggest me some remedies
There are a few treatments to treat dark circles or under eye circles many of the remedies are lasers. Fraxel, Thermage, Blue Light Therapy, and IPL Photofacial all use lasers to tighten the skin this alleviating under eye circles.

Photofacial IPL Results?
I had my first photofacial IPL done a while back for my freckles. I was very pleased with the results. Almost immediately after the freckles turned black and then flaked off about 5-7 days later. I went yesterday to get my second treatment and they increased the settings. It made my freckles come to the surface but they have not turned dark or look like they will get that "pepper" look to flake off. Does this mean that the treatment did not work??
Ephelides, otherwise known as freckles, are harmless tan spots of melanin common in people of fair complexion. Freckles are genetic in nature and can be triggered by exposure to sunlight. That is why freckles usually appear in the summertime and fade in the winter. Treatments are usually spaced out at three week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize the results. The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. Laser freckle removal is the most effective solution to deal with freckles. With many skincare technicians, Photofacial is the preferred light-based treatment to use on freckles. This is because of its lack of side effects and downtime. The IPL wavelength is absorbed by the unwanted spot and actually breaks apart the pigment. These fragmented pigments are absorbed back into the body, leaving little to no trace of the original freckle. At your next appointment you might care to enquire how many treatment sessions you are likely to expect.
It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.

Besides plastic surgery, what's another way to get rid of wrinkles under the eyes?
Or is that not possible?
It does seem to be possible. I read about photofacials. I dont know if i'll do the site justice by paraphrasing it so I'll just qoute it.
"photofacial (aka fotofacial or photo facial) treatments center around the patented Florescent Pulsed Light system, which penetrates deep below the skin's surface to help start the production of new collagen and other connective tissues. This process leaves the skin rejuvenated and smooth, starting from the very first treatment."
Hope this helped!
can you have a chemical face peel at 16 years old ?
i'm considering this cause i have lots of scars on my face from various people clawing me in netball and red marks from old spots etc..
am i too young ?! legally.. not in your opinion ! and has anyone out there had one that can tell me more about it and if it worked well? Thanks!
I go to a "medical" spa near where I live, they can start you out with a mild peel, and then each time you go in, (usually every 2 weeks) they can give you a peel at higher concentration. By the way you can't get this in a salon or spa, it has to have a doctor on the premises, or a physician assistant. Salon and spas can only administer up to a certain strength legally. I pay around for mine (glycolic or lactic acid peels) and I go about every 3 months as maintenance. I t will help with some scarring, I would look into getting a photofacial. Also again you should only get this in a medical setting. I have seen excellent results with photofacials for scarring. At your age, it should be no problem
how can i get rid of my red complexion?
its not a sunburn, rash or rosacea. ive heard from some people that its because my capillaries or bloodvessels are very close to my skin? . so i want to know what is the cause of this and how can it get rid of it. oh and my redness gets worse when im very warm.
The redness is because of your blood vessels being close to the skin.
One thing that works for this condition is getting IPL Photofacial treatments over your entire face, five at least, 2- 4 weeks apart.
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. The brand of machine that is best for this is called Radiance. (I had IPL treatments on another brand of machine and it did nothing for me.)
The price of treatments varies widely. I got mine for 0 a piece when I bought a 5 treatment package. A lot of doctors, spas and cosmetic centers offer this treatment but choose wisely. The machine can burn you if the person doesn't know what they are doing.
The treatments are slightly unpleasant. It's hot and it smells bad. You will feel like bad sunburn for a couple hours. (don't go out into the sun afterwards!)
Within a couple treatments you will see your skin start to lose the redness, your pores will look smaller, your face fresher. (I know, because I've done it myself.)
If you can't afford this, one thing that will help is adding some green food coloring to your foundation. The green cuts down on the redness. Or buy a foundation designed to cut down the redness.
How do I get rid of dark acne scars?
i used to have lots of acne now my cheeks have all these flat dark spots and theyre soo ugly how do i get rid of it
Definitely try Microdermabrasion, it works so well and is pretty affordable (and definitely worth the money). After trying like 3 bajillion creams, I finally got microdermabrasion. I wish I would have listened to everyone before I poured like 0 into different creams that didn't work.
If you decide you want Microdermabrasion or even to just talk to a doctor about what would be best for you (there are other options like IPL photofacial and chemical peels) you can set up a free consultation at HealthySkinPortal.com. It was really easy and helpful for me (and now my face looks so much better).
Good luck hope this helps!
What's the difference with guys before and after this?
What's the difference with guys before and after puberty when there around 15? Physically like what changes? And also does anything change mentally? Like what's there hormones and do they think about sex more????? Thanks!!
The Start of It All
A time of transition, puberty marks your child's maturation from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. It is during puberty that a person's body begins to take on sexual characteristics. For many parents, this change can be a bit scary because it means their child is developing into a sexual being. But how do these changes begin?
In everyone's brain, there is an area called the hypothalamus. At the appropriate time according to your child's body, the hypothalamus will begin secreting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone will eventually reach and stimulate the pituitary gland, causing it to secrete lutenizing hormone (LH) as well as follicle–stimulating hormones (FSH).
These hormones then begin to travel through the bloodstream until they reach the reproductive organs. In boys, the presence of LH and FSH in the testicles will indicate that it is time to start producing testosterone and sperm. For girls, these hormones affect the ovaries, causing her body to start producing estrogen as well as beginning the process of maturing and releasing eggs.
Seeing is Believing
Often, the first question on most parents' minds is "When will my child start puberty?" There is a fairly wide range between the sexes as to just when puberty will occur. Even within the same sex group, one child may start puberty long before her peers start.
Changes in girls during puberty can begin anywhere between 8 and 14 years of age. Usually the first sign that female puberty has begun is through breast development in girls. Boys' puberty begins after the girls, between 10 and 15 years of age. For a boy, the first sign that puberty has begun is growth of his testicles, which is followed shortly thereafter by the growth of his penis.
In both sexes, an increase of body hair, specifically in the pubic area and under the arms, will become visible not too long after puberty has started. This hair usually starts off quite light and thin, becoming darker, thicker and longer as puberty advances.
Other shared changes between the sexes include a change in body shape, putting on weight, emotional changes and experiencing a growth spurt. Growth spurts on average last for two to three years and by the end of this period, most youth will have reached their full adult height. As if puberty wasn't awkward enough for your child, the fact that his growth spurt may cause specific body areas (like the feet or arms) to grow faster than others can cause him to feel especially clumsy and embarrassed. But you can put his mind at ease by reassuring him that the rest of his body will soon catch up.
Raging Hormones
As any pregnant woman knows, hormones are not always your friends. Because of the sudden increase in hormone production, teen puberty often results in acne, oily skin and B.O. While none of this is surprising, since hormones affect the skin glands, your child may not be too thrilled at smelling like she was rolling in dirt all day, having greasy skin and a face speckled with pimples to top it all off. However, encouraging her to clean her face with a gentle cleanser and shower daily as well as using deodorant should help to clear up these problems.
Acne does not just effect teens, it can appear during stages of life. Thankfully, your skin can be restored to its natural smooth texture with the help of a photofacial treatment. Find out more.
Have you noticed that your once sweet, loving son has turned into a ticking emotional time bomb these days? No, his angry outbursts and highly sensitive demeanor are not indicative of him reverting back to the terrible twos; rather it's those hormones wreaking havoc. They're not called raging hormones for nothing. Increased moodiness and sensitivity, while not always pleasant, are a normal part of puberty. However, these emotional changes may not always coincide with the physical changes. As trying as it can be, remember: just like the other stages of child development, your child will grow out of this as well.
What Happens Next
Puberty in teen boys can often seem like a more traumatic experience than girls going through puberty. Boys during puberty have to deal with many obvious changes, like the deepening of their voice, the growth of facial hair and, perhaps most embarrassing of all, erections.
It is very normal for boys to experience spontaneous erections, when their penis becomes erect often for no reason, as well as nocturnal emissions. More commonly known as "wet dreams," nocturnal emissions occur when a boy ejaculates during his sleep. If he has never had a wet dream before, he may just think he wet his bed.
Breast development is often one of the first stages of early puberty in girls and is one of the few visible signs that her body has begun to mature. For some girls, her growing breasts may be very exciting and she will jump at the chance to go and buy her first bra. For other girls, though, this development can make them feel very in
Has anyone here had any experience with body wraps?
The ones that suck out whatever and make you lose inches. Has anyone used one and had a positive experience? Negative? I'm debating whether or not to do one - so feedback really helps! Thank you!
Unless you have a spa budget, or bathing suit photo shoot and your modeling agency is paying for it--it's not worth it.
Your skin is smoother and maybe you lose a inches from the water weight. They measure you from head to toe and then add up the difference and say--see you've lost a total of 6 inches.
1/4 inch from one upper thigh 1/4 inch from the other
1/4 inch from one lower thigh 1/4 inch from the other
1/4 inch from one calf 1/4 inch from the other
1/4 inch from one upper arm 1/4 inch from the other
1/4 inch from one lower arm 1/4 inch from the other
You get the idea.
A much better spa investment is photofacial or laser hair removal or save up for lipo.
Has any one had a photofacial?
I am thinking about doing this to remove a bunch of freckles. I have heard great stuff about it but was wondering if anyone had heard about any side effects or negative things about it.
How gud is glycolic peel and Photofacial treatment gven by Kaya Skin Clinic 4 pigmentation, scars & open pore
It is great, and it doesn't matter where you have it done as long as the person administering it is trained.
Do you really need several treatments for photofacial IPL laser?
For spider veins & general redness on face. Does the 1st treatment get most of it & the repeat treatments fine tune it a bit? Or is there really a great improvement with each treatment?
It takes several treatments. Port wine stains can take numeriuos treatments. slightly lighten with each. Try e-medicine they will likely have pictures of progression there.
Does anyone her use the Obagi system and if so, do you see results?
I peel now and then but I can't really see any improvement and I wonder if I'm wasting quite a bit of money.
...and had no results. I originally started using Obagi as home skin care during my microdermabrasion treatments. The dermatologist told me it would help with fine lines and wrinkles plus help fade my hyperpigmentation (the dark "age" spots on my cheeks). After dutifully using the products, including the hydroquinone and tretinoin, the only result I had was extremely dry, flaky skin. I never saw any fading of the hyperpigmentation spots, nor did I see any improvement in the texture/softness of my skin.
Overall, it took about three or four months for my skin to recover from the Obagi-induced dryness and I have not found a "medical grade" skin care line that I'm interested in. For regular skin care, I have tried Rhonda Allison, Bioelements, Exuviance, Murad, Esente, and Hylunia and find that most of these products are good for helping my skin texture, but nothing seems to touch the hyperpigmentation, so I'm saving up for a photofacial next spring.
I wish I had better news for you regarding the success of Obagi, but, honestly for me, it just didn't do the trick.
How much do photofacials cost? R they worth it? They say u typically need 5 treatments. Is that true?
do they work? no
are they expensive? yes

ASIC tells: Why Australia's takeover rules are unfairPUBLISHED: 12 Jul 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 12 Jul 2012 11:25:40PUBLISHED: 12 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 12 Jul 2012

Michael Smith, Angus Grigg and Gemma Daley
The corporate regulator is considering putting the brakes on predators trying to build controlling shareholdings in companies by dramatically scaling back "creep" rules as part of a sweeping review of takeover laws.
Under existing rules, an aggressive shareholder can buy a 3 per cent stake in a company every six months after hitting the takeover threshold of 19.9 per cent without having to launch a full bid.
One option Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Greg Medcraft is considering is to lower to 1 per cent the amount a predator could "creep" and capping that provision at a 30 per cent shareholding. This would increase the time taken to move from 19.9 per cent to 30 per cent of a company from two years to five.
Mr Medcraft, who confirmed he had discussed the issue with Treasury, is not proposing increasing the 19.9 per cent threshold that usually triggers a full takeover bid.
But Mr Medcraft told The Australian Financial Review that ASIC was considering a range of reforms including a UK-style "put up or shut up" rule and making it tougher for hostile raiders to control a company without paying a premium.
The regulator said it was also working with the Australian Securities Exchange to tighten continuous disclosure laws and address the influence of social media on bids.
Mr Medcraft said Australia's takeover laws were out of step with the rest of the world and no longer guaranteed all shareholders were treated fairly. "We need to make sure investors can be confident and informed when they invest in our markets," Mr Medcraft said. "Clearly, we have had some key drivers for looking at some refresh of the current framework of takeover laws."
Recent moves by billionaires Gina Rinehart and James Packer to win board seats at Fairfax Media (publisher of The Australian Financial Review ) and Echo Entertainment without launching a full takeover bid have put takeover laws back in the spotlight. A suspected hoax takeover bid for retailer David Jones last month also prompted the regulator to move on the issue.
Treasurer Wayne Swan said he would consider the regulator's advice. ASIC can make recommendations to Treasury which then provides advice to the government.
Mr Medcraft's push for a review has sparked a heated debate among company directors, fund managers, corporate lawyers and bankers.
John Story, the former chairman of Echo Entertainment who was ousted from the job earlier this year in a campaign by Mr Packer, said he supported abolishing the creep provision but said the 20 per cent takeover threshold should stay unchanged.
"All the creep does is advantage an acquirer prepared to be patient and persistent," Mr Story said.
The market was divided over the issue yesterday with some lawyers warning there were few examples besides Kerry Stokes' 2009 takeover of West Australian Newspapers, where the creep provision was used to secure effective control.
"I think it is a sound policy move to look at takeover law more generally. However, my reservation about moving the creep is that I don't think it is necessarily broken. That setting has been in the legislation for a long time and it is hard to point to problems where someone has actually obtained effective control through use of the creep," Johnson Winter & Slattery partner John Keeves said.
Veteran company director Rod Eddington said consultation was important to try and secure a sensible outcome. "It's important to have these issues comprehensively discussed and debated before changes are made," Mr Eddington said. "It's important too that changes don't protect complacent boards from the legitimate threat of takeover. "
The move comes in the wake of mining billionaire Ms Rinehart's gradual purchase of up to 19 per cent of Fairfax Media and Mr Packer's efforts to win board seats at casino group Echo Entertainment.
It also follows a takeover approach for retailer David Jones last month, which sparked a rally in the company's shares when an unknown UK news website named the bidding company even though its identity could not be verified.
Mr Medcraft wants to review three key areas: takeover rules, continuous disclosure and changes in board control by stakeholders owning less than 20 per cent.
He said the only policy rationale for introducing the creep provision appeared to be making a takeover without paying a premium. "It does seem to be inconsistent with the spirit of the takeover law," he said. He also wanted Treasury to look at the use of equity derivatives to acquire blocking stakes in companies. The tactic was deployed by Mr Packer's Crown to acquire stakes in Echo.
ASIC would also propose tightening Section 631 of the Corporations Act to close loopholes in requirements for bidders to make a firm offer after two months. He said Australia could "potentially" look at the UK's "put up or shut up" law. It is understand ASIC is concerned about sharp spikes in share prices due to leaked bid proposals that have no guarantee of success.
He said ASIC was engaging with the ASX to look at continuous disclosure, including better guidance on when to call a trading halt, and the use of social media. Updated disclosure rules were expected to be released later this year.
Mr Medcraft was appointed by Mr Swan, who has been critical of the involvement of some Australian billionaires in Australia's public debate.

Regional review, Monday 2/27
The regional review returns, with nightly nuggets from the girls and boys 12th Region Tournaments. Tonight, here are news and notes from day 1 of the girls regional at Lincoln County:
- Mercer County defeated Southwestern 49-48; Lincoln County defeated Pulaski County 71-52. Mercer (27-5) plays Lincoln (22-9) in Friday's 6 p.m. semifinal.
- Mercer had its hands full with a team it had beaten 62-33 just 10 days earlier in its regular-season finale. The game was close from end to end and was decided when Tabby Shewmaker hit one of two free throws to break a tie with 4 seconds to play. Southwestern had a shot to win it, but Samantha Fitzgerald's elbow jumper missed the mark.
- Mercer's starting lineup includes three seniors and a junior, while Southwestern started three freshmen and an eighth-grader.
- Catheryne Claunch scored 15 points and Savannah Taylor added 10 for Mercer. Brittany Combs scored 15 points and Addison Corder had 14 for Southwestern.
- Lincoln defeated Pulaski for the second time this season — the Lady Patriots won 77-69 in their season opener Nov. 28 — but this win was not as easy as the score might make it seem, at least not until after halftime. The game was tied at 33-all after two quarters, but Lincoln outscored the Lady Maroons 21-7 in the third.
- Emily Fox scored 20 points to lead four Lincoln girls in double figures. Sydney Harris had 17, and reserves Tiandra Hocker and Heidi Huffman scored 11 each. Mariah Meeks had 20 points and Brittany Warren had 18 for Pulaski.
- The wins by Mercer and Lincoln set up a semifinal showdown between the region's two highest-rated teams. Mercer won their regular-season meeting Feb. 3, forcing 29 Lincoln turnovers in a 49-45 victory at Harrodsburg.
- The first round concludes Tuesday when Wayne County (18-14) faces Danville (21-7) at 6 p.m. and Casey County (17-14) plays Burgin (13-18) at 7:30. Danville defeated Wayne 62-60 on Dec. 10 in the next-to-last game for former Wayne coach Tim Pyles, who resigned the following week. Allen Burchett, a former assistant with the Wayne boys, has gone 17-9 since taking over the Lady Cardinals in mid-December. Casey and Burgin did not meet during the regular season.

Tigers Offense Stagnant in Loss to Pearl River
With 2:38 remaining on the game clock, and despite gaining less than 130 yards of total offense during the previous 57:62 of play, Coahoma Community College took possession of the ball with a chance to put together one last drive and tie the game against Pearl River.
Trailing 15-7, and beginning the drive from his own 11-yard-line, Tigers quarterback Quaintavous Peterson dropped back in the pocket, rolled to his right to escape pressure, and floated an errant pass that found the hands of a Wildcats defensive back. It was the second interception of the night for the CCC signal caller, and the third turnover by the Tigers of the night.
Pearl River (2-2) would ice the game four plays later with a 3-yard touchdown run by QB Shaun White on fourth down to chisel out the final 21-7 win.
It was the best opportunity this season for Coahoma (0-4, 0-1 in the MACJC North) to earn their first win. Pearl River was sloppy offensively, the Wildcats turned the ball over four times, but the CCC offensive just never made it out of first gear. Defensively the Tigers played well enough to pickup the victory, but the offense just couldnt reciprocate.
We played about as well as we can play tonight defensively and I was very proud of that effort, said Coahoma Head Coach Freeman Horton. They played hard all night. They were put into some tough situations and were backed up early in the game but they held (PRCC). I was very proud of the way that we played defensively.
The Tigers only score of the night came on a bizarre turn of events late in the third quarter. In the middle of a 25-yard, six-play drive that saw Pearl River about to cross midfield, CCC defensive end Devin Williams put a monster hit on the Wildcats quarterback causing him to cough up the ball. CCCs Donnell Hixson pounced on it bringing the Tigers offense onto the field.
On the next play, Coahoma running back Tiberas Lampkin fumbled the ball giving it right back to Pearl River. However, on the Wildcats next play, the QB White was hit from his blindside and fumbled the ball and the Tigers re-gained possessing after James Harmon covered the loose ball.
Following the combined three, consecutive turnovers, the Tigers put together their only sustainable drive of the night (six plays, 36 yards) that ended with Peterson throwing his best pass of the night hitting his wide receiver Damico Ewing on the fade right who did a great job of staying in bounds and making the catch.
Of the four turnovers made by Pearl River, this was the only one the Tigers were able to capitalize on. The Wildcats also fumbled the opening kickoff of the second half, and in the closing seconds of the first half, CCC safety Dalvin Gates came up with an interception in the end zone to stop the PRCC scoring drive.
We had opportunities tonight, theres no doubt about it, Horton said. We just couldnt get anything going offensively. If we could have put together anything tonight on the offensive side of the ball, it would have been a win for us.
Coahoma now has a little lag time to heal before they return to the practice field on Monday to begin preparing to face No. 5 East Mississippi Community College on the road next Saturday. The Lions boast the National Junior College Athletics Associations (NJCAA) top scoring offense and defense. EMCC defeated Pearl River in its season-opener 49-6.
The Lions improved to 4-0, 1-0 with its MACJC Northern Division win over Mississippi Delta Community College Thursday night, 70-0. EMCC has outscored their first four opponents 247-6. The Tigers have all week to prepare.
Were just going to get back to work on Monday and try and get better, thats all we can do, said Horton. Weve got to get better blocking from our offensive line, more consistent play for our quarterbacks and weve got to make better decisions.
Kickoff next Saturday will be at 2 p.m., at Sullivan-Windham Field in Scooba, MS.

Trey was sitting in his hotel room alone in the dark. When he gets time alone he likes to be in silence so he can just think and relax. One of his phone started vibrating in his pocket. He answered and it was Alonzo. He told Trey to come downstairs and pick something up at the car. Trey left his room as he stepped into the hallway he saw someone who caught his eye. She was one of the most beautiful woman he seen and he's seen beautiful women. She was 5'9, chocolate skin, nice curvy body and curly natural hair. She had a beauty mark right under her right eye and cute dimples. She walked into the elevator and Trey tried his best not to miss it. He stepped into the elevator and stood next to her. They were alone and her scent filled the elevator. Trey looks at her up and down imagining all the nasty things he can do with her. She caught him looking so he quickly turned away. She smiled at his sneakiness. The elevator stopped at the lobby and he let her step out first. They went off in different directions. Trey walks up to the car and picks up the package from Alonzo. He walks back to the elevator. She walks past Trey again but this time he speaks to her.
T: Hey…How you doing?
MG (Mystery girl): Hi
T: What's your name?
M: Mary
T: Well I'm Trey
M: I know who you are… (Smirks) What are you doing around here?
T: I got business in town plus this is my favorite hotel. I have some nice experiences every time I come here.
M: I bet you have… (Smiles)
T: You a little feisty… I like that.
M: (giggles)… I'm glad you like it.
T: I do not mean to be forward but you are a very beautiful woman.
M: (blushes) thank you The elevator opens.
T: Ladies first She steps into the elevator and he follows.
He starts licking his lips and she stares at him. Then he walks a little closer to her and she backs into the wall. He stares in her eyes and the whispers in her ear.
T: I want to see your sex faces.
M: I don't think can handle me…. (Smirks)
T: Oh… Really
He started kissing on her neck. Her knees started to get weak and she reached for the handle bar. She tried to keep her composer. She felt herself getting wet. That's when the bell rang signally they arrived to their floor. Trey backed up and made his way out the elevator. She mindlessly followed after him. They got to his hotel room and as soon as she closed the door he pinned her to the door. He kissed softly and gently on her neck and nibbled on her ear. She let out soft moans that turn him on. Her natural scent started to fill the hotel room, it drove Trey insane. He started to suck her neck leaving small red hickies on her. Then he kissed her passionately on her lips. They shared tongues and bit each other's lips.
T: I want to taste you
M: (moans)...
T: Can I taste you?
M: yes (moans)…
He picks her up and gently puts her on the bed. He pulls her skirt down and starts kissing on her legs and thighs. Then starts licking between her thighs just to tease her. Chills ran through her spine. Then he pulled down her red wet thong. He trails his tongue from her belly button to her pussy. He kissed the clit softly and sensually then started to lick furiously. She came immediately. She was so loud that she had to put a pillow over her mouth.
T: Do you like that?
M: uhhh…oooo… yes
T: Tell me you like it.
M: ahhhh I LIKE IT BABY… MATTER OF FACT I LOVE IT!
T: Yea
She came about three times more after that but he just will not seem to stop. He kept licking and licking until she couldn't take any more. In her head, she knew she couldn't handle it. She bucked her hips but he would not let go. The he stuck his two fingers into her pussy. She screamed in pleasure. She pulled the sheet and squirmed around. He stroked his two fingers until he felt her pussy get tighter and tighter around his fingers. He gripped her hips harder to keep her steady. She started cumming all over his fingers and face. He finally stops and she laid there in complete satisfaction but the night just began. He unbuttoned her shirt and took off her bra.
Now it was his turn. She laid him down on the bed and started kissing on his neck. She moved down to his chocolate nipples. She nibbled and sucked on them. She spelled her name with her tongue on his chest. The she trailed her lips down his flat stomach. She pulled down his basketball shorts and out popped his ten-inch dick. At first, she was a little scared of it but he smiled at her to make her more comfortable. She started licking the head while jerking it with both of her hands in different directions. Then she licked and sucked on his balls. She can tell he like that then she started going deeper on the dick. She looked at his face and she knew she was driving him crazy. She starts taking it as far as she can down her throat. He started groaning. She knew he wanted to bust so bad. He pulled her off him and pushes her on the bed. He knew he had to take back the control. He took his condom out and put it on his erected shaft. He gripped her hips and slowly slips his dick into her womanhood. He looked at her face and he knew he was winning.
T: You want me to stop?
M: (whisper) no...
He gives her slow deep stokes then starts to pick up the pace. She starts scratching on his back. She gripped hard on his back while he gave her the d. He starts kissing on her neck and lips. Then she reaches her climax and starts to scream out Trey's name. Her moans turn him on and make him go faster and deeper. He hit the g spot and she start to shake a little. They switch positions and he enters her from the back. He moves his hips as he strokes so he can hit all her walls. Her muscles grip his dick makes him want to cum sooner. He strokes deeper and deeper and she starts to moan uncontrollably. He takes his hands and starts to rub on her clit and start to squirt a little. She needed to regain control. She pushed him on the bed and starts to ride his dick. She bucks her hips while her pussy swallows the dick. He moans of her super wetness. Then his dick starts to get harder then he busts. They cum together and she just falls right on his chest.
T: You alright?
M: yes… I am great ?
T: I think you won.
M: I think it was a tie. (Smiles)
They go into the other bedroom and to sleep. When he wakes up, she is gone. She leaves a note behind
Dear Trey, Last night was great and I want you to know you put a smile on my face. I hope to see you in the future and maybe we can get to talk first. : P Now every time I hear your music I am going to think about our encounter. My number is 555-1010. Nice to meet you?. Love, Mary
He smiled and saved her number on his phone then and turned over to dream some more…….

Connelly (No. 9, 2015) commits to SMU
Austin Connelly has given a verbal commitment to play college golf for SMU. Connelly also made unofficial visits to Georgia, Alabama, Auburn and Arizona State. He narrowed his decision down to Georgia and SMU before deciding to join the Mustangs roster under head coach Josh Gregory.
Connelly, from Irving, Texas, attends iSchool High Lewisville. He is ranked No. 6 by Golfweek among Texas boys.
"I chose SMU for a number of reasons," Connelly said. "The first of which is because I truly believe that Josh Gregory is the best coach in all of men's college golf, and I believe that he has proven it time and time again. The second is because of the outstanding practice facility and golf course facility that they are about to build, along with the outstanding golf courses that they play day in and day out. The third is because of the school's outstanding academics, along with the connections that can be made at SMU which are astounding. The fourth and final main reason is because my coach, Cameron McCormick, is here locally, and he is irreplaceable to me."
In the past year, Connelly finished T-3 at the AJGA's Under Armour/Hunter Mahan Championship and was T-9 at the Genesis Shootout. Connelly also finished T-11 at the Western Junior and made match play at the AJGA Polo Golf Classic.

Final Pre-Conference Press Release
by Mitch Kehetian
DEARBORN, Mich.
DEARBORN, Mich.-- Twenty-five years ago Professor Dennis Papazian was convinced an Armenian Research Center (ARC) was needed to serve the needs of the higher academic community of scholars --and as a communication learning center for students and faculty.
That goal was reached and will be observed during a two-day Oct.15-16 conference at the UM Dearborn campus, with an array of internationally known scholars taking part in sessions highlighted with a keynote address by distinguished Professor Khachig Tölölyan of Connecticut's Wesleyan University.
The Beirut-born Armenian scholar, an expert on the fate of the Armenian Diaspora, will focus his talk on "Why Study the Armenian Diaspora." Tölölyan was the founding editor of the journal Diaspora.
Tölölyan, an accomplished speaker, will also chair a Saturday morning session saluting the conference committee for focusing the two-day session on the Armenian Diaspora and its linkage to present-day free Armenia and its 70 years as a Soviet republic.
Professor Ara Sanjian, director of the ARC since 2006, said the conference theme on Armenia and its Diaspora is the Center's mission to foster a renewed bond between Diaspora Armenians and the homeland to overcome the ill-fated repatriation drive in the late 1940's.
"Our vision here at ARC is how best can we serve the Armenian people and our landlocked homeland. I am convinced establishing a linkage between Armenia and Diasporan Armenians is the scholarly path to take."
Sanjian said the conference opens with its first session at 6:30 p.m Friday, Oct.15 chaired by Professor Kevork Bardakjian of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. At this session Professor Amatuni Virabyan of the National Archives of Armenia will address the fate of Armenian intellectuals who repatriated to Soviet Armenia in the 1920s-1930s. Additional panel speakers will include Dr. Lerna Ekmekçioglu, UM-Ann Arbor, and Professor Garen Khachatryan, National Academy of Armenian Sciences.
Speakers at the second session will include Talar Chahinian, University of California at Los Angeles, and Dr. Vartan Martossian, an independent scholar from New Jersey; while the final session, chaired by Professor Papazian, will be headlined by panelists Dr. Asbed Kotchikian, Bentley University, Dr. Vicken Cheterian of Geneva, and Professor Jean-Robert Raviot of the University of Paris.
In a recent interview with research publicist Anahid Derbabian, Papazian, now retired and living in New Jersey with his wife, Professor Mary Papazian, provost at Lehman College, said the start-up years for ARC called for critical decision-making.
"Rather than establish a chair, I decided to establish a research center to make research on Armenian studies easy. Young people needed a local place to concentrate on doing their research. The Armenian Research Center was the anchor."
The campaign to launch ARC was given monetary support from the national Knights of Vartan organization.
After 25 years, ARC continues in its mission under the guidance of Professor Sanjian.
Ani Kasparian, chairperson of the 25th anniversary planning committee, said attendance to the conference is free and open to the public while the Saturday night (Oct.16) banquet at The Henry (formerly the Ritz-Carlton) is $75 per person.
Reservations can be placed for the 7 p.m. banquet by calling the ARC at 313-593-5181.
Further information is available on the Research Center's website at http://www.umd.umich.edu/dept/armenian/.

Dolutegravir (Tivicay)
Ashley L. Pappas, PharmD, BCPS, and Sandra Hanna
Published Online:
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Dolutegravir (Tivicay), manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, is a recently FDA-approved HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents for treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and children 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg.
Tivicay is considered to be a second-generation HIV integrase inhibitor, following the relatively recent introduction of the 2 first-generation HIV integrase inhibitors raltegravir (Isentress) and the elvitegravir antiretroviral combination (Stribild).
As an HIV-1 antiviral agent, Tivicay binds to the integrase active site and blocks the essential DNA strand transfer (from virus to host) needed for the HIV replication cycle. Following oral administration of Tivicay, taken with or without food, peak plasma concentrations were seen 2 to 3 hours post dose and steady-state concentrations were achieved within approximately 5 days. Tivicay is highly bound to plasma proteins (98.9%), leading to an estimated apparent volume of distribution of only 17.4 L. Tivicay is primarily metabolized by UGT1A1 and, to a smaller extent, CYP3A. Following a single dose, 53% of the drug was excreted unchanged in feces while 31% was excreted in urine as various metabolites. Renal elimination of unchanged drug constituted less than 1% of the dose. Tivicay has a terminal half-life of approximately 14 hours and an apparent clearance of 1.0 L/h.
The recommended dose of Tivicay is 50 mg daily for INSTI treatment-naïve adults or pediatric patients 12 years or older and weighing 40 kg or more. If these patients are also taking other potent UGT1A/CYP3A inducers, such as efavirenz, fosamprenavir/ritonavir, tipranavir/ritonavir, or rifampin, the recommended dose is 50 mg twice daily. This twice-daily dose is also recommended for adult HIV patients who have been previously treated with an INSTI but clinically demonstrate INSTI resistance. Doses exceeding 50 mg twice daily have not been evaluated in terms of safety and efficacy.
Clinical Efficacy
The safety and efficacy of Tivicay in adults was evaluated in a total of 2539 participants enrolled in 4 phase III clinical trials—SPRING-2 and SINGLE for HIV treatment-naïve patients, SAILING for HIV treatment-experienced but INSTI-naïve patients, and VIKING-3 for HIV treatment-experienced and INSTI-experienced patients. SPRING-2, a 96-week double-blind, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial, compared the efficacy of Tivicay with raltegravir by randomizing 822 treatment-naïve subjects into 2 groups—1 receiving dolutegravir 50 mg once daily and the other receiving raltegravir 400 mg twice daily with both groups receiving a background nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NtRTI) regimen of either tenofovir/emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine. Subjects were stratified by screening HIV-1 RNA—those with more than 100,000 copies per mL and those with less than 100,000 copies per mL. The primary end point was the proportion of participants with less than 50 copies per mL at 48 and 96 weeks with a 10% non-inferiority margin. In the SINGLE trial, 833 subjects were randomized into 2 groups comparing efficacy of Tivicay with Atripla (efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir) with both groups also receiving a background NtRTI regimen. Using an intention-to-treat analysis with a 10% non-inferiority criterion, study findings of both trials demonstrated non-inferiority in safety and efficacy, making once-daily dosing of dolutegravir an attractive option for HIV-1 infected treatment-naïve patients in reducing viral loads.
Medication Safety
Tivicay should be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking cation-containing antacids or laxatives, oral iron or calcium supplements, sucralfate, or any buffered medications. Coadministration of Tivicay with etravirine should not occur without concurrent atazonavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or lopinavir/ritonavir administration. Coadministration of Tivicay with nevirapine or with established metabolic inducers such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, and St. John's wort should also be avoided due to insufficient data available needed to make dosing recommendations. Coadministration with dofetilide is contraindicated due to the risk for serious, life-threatening events stemming from potentially increased dofetilide plasma concentrations.
The most common side effects seen with Tivicay are insomnia and headache; serious adverse events include hypersensitivity reactions, transaminase elevations in those co-infected with hepatitis B and/or C, fat redistribution with "cushingoid" appearance, and immune reconstitution syndrome.
Availability and Cost
Tivicay is supplied in bottles of thirty 50-mg, yellow, round, film-coated tablets. Average wholesale price of Tivicay is $1175 per month or $14,105 per year.

Old Erie Canal State Historic Park
Old Erie Canal State Historic Park is a part of the New York State Park system. It is a linear park encompassing a 36-mile segment of the original Erie Canal's Long Level section, and extends eastward from Butternut Creek in the town of DeWitt, New York, east of Syracuse, to just outside of the city of Rome, New York. This section of the canal was in active use between 1825 and 1917.
The park consists of restored segments of the canal's waterway and towpath, which has been resurfaced with stone dust and is suitable for biking, hiking, horseback riding or snowmobiling. The canal also is navigable by canoe or kayak for short segments throughout the park. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorcycles are not permitted, and no campsites are available in the park, although camping is available at Green Lakes State Park east of Syracuse, which is closely adjacent to Old Erie Canal State Park. Several picnic areas are available on the route and are accessible via nearby roads.
The park passes near or through several communities, including Fayetteville, Manlius Center, Kirkville, Chittenango, Canastota, Durhamville and New London.
Five miles east of Butternut Creek, the canal passes by the entrance to Green Lakes State Park.
The park's eastern terminus is at Erie Canal Village, a privately operated museum and historic recreation of a 19th-century canal village located outside of Rome. It features its own 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge[1] railroad open to the public.
In July 2006, stretches of the old canal within the park had to be dammed or drained to effect repairs on the aqueduct over Butternut Creek east of Syracuse, which was in danger of a potentially catastrophic leak due to unusually heavy rains.
In February 2010 the park was among about 40 New York State parks recommended for closure under Governor David Paterson's austerity budget plan. The park remains open.

Following a discussion of the balance between program cuts and a possible tax increase in the next budget cycle, President Johnson mentioned a protest that a group of poverty activists from Syracuse, New York had staged at his Texas ranch. Mayor Daley, who a few moments before had urged the president to focus on job creation as the core of the anti-poverty effort, vigorously objected to the idea that the poor should control the community action programs that the War on Poverty had established in many communities. The inclusion in the Economic Opportunity Act of a provision that community action should encourage the "maximum feasible participation" of the poor had produced clashes between activists and many city governments over the purpose and nature of the programs. This conversation excerpt presents a strong statement of one side of this controversy -- a perspective shared by many mayors around the U.S.
In this conversation, President Johnson offered assured Virginia Congressman Porter Hardy (D) that the governors' veto amendment to the Economic Opportunity Act would prevent the community action program from circumventing local governmental authority. For supporters of the community action principle, such circumvention had been the point of the program.
President Johnson and Representative Phil Landrum of Georgia (the floor leader for the Economic Opportunity Act in the House of Representatives) discuss the attempt by a group of Catholic congressmen to block the Economic Opportunity Act in the House Education and Labor Committee. The Act would remain blocked unless sections of Title II were re-written to include funding for remedial education programs in Catholic schools. Some congressmen also hoped to use the issue as a bargaining chip to prevent the closure of naval bases in their districts. Johnson indicates his willingness to cut the community action provisions of the legislation (Title II) rather than give in to the congressmen's demands - even though this component of the bill constituted one of its most important elements. Nonetheless, the President clearly indicated in this conversation that his primary interest in the antipoverty legislation lay in the Job Corps camps and training centers of Title I, rather than in the Community Action provisions of Title II. The latter programs, however, would soon define the Economic Opportunity Act in the public mind.
In late 1966, Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) Director (and Kennedy brother-in-law) Sargent Shriver contemplated resigning because of differences with the President over funding levels for the War on Poverty and frustration over perceptions that his effectiveness had diminished. In this conversation with Special Assistant Bill Moyers (who had recently submitted his own resignation), President Johnson expounded on the implications of a Shriver resignation, as well as on his views of the budgetary constraints on the War on Poverty, the consequences of street protests that cast the Vietnam War and the anti-poverty effort as mutually-exclusive budget items, and his difficulties with Robert F. Kennedy and other liberal Senators who supported an expanded poverty program. Near the close of this excerpt, Johnson commented on the lack of political pragmatism and reliability that he perceived among much of Shriver's staff at OEO, particularly in the still-controversial Community Action Program (CAP).
In this conversation excerpt, President Johnson and Georgia Senator Richard Russell (R) express their shared dislike and distrust of the War on Poverty's Community Action Program.

I wanted to take a look at some different route combinations against different defenses, and thought I'd start with a simple Curl/Flat route combination against the Quarters coverage.
On the one hand, we'd be really good against the curl route because of the Safety being over top of it, and the Outside Linebacker coming underneath. On the other hand, the flat is the weakness of Quarters.Not much way around it, there's no good way to stop the Flat Route when you're running Quarters, without checking to something that makes you vulnerable elsewhere. And if we're going to be vulnerable anywhere, the flat route is the place to do it. Its a long throw for short yardage, so we take our chances!
Against the Doubles set, we're going to make our Alert Check. This puts the Safeties at 12 yards depth, inside shade of #2. They're more like deep half safeties in a Cover 2, compared to our normal Read Check (versus 1 receiver removed), when the Outside Linebackers are expected to play contain.The Corner moves his alignment up to 4-6 yards, and funnels the release of #1 in toward the Safety. He's playing a vertical line rule with the Safety. He stays over top of #1, and the Safety plays over top of #2, until they cross. If they cross, it breaks the imaginary vertical line, and the two switch coverage responsibilities.

Everyone we love in Mel's circle is still standing, but... for how long? Although Payne didn't seem anywhere near death's door at any point in the episode, I was getting sad about him going on that sabbatical. I'm glad he decided to stay...

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"First of all, I am not at all a fan of the standard color scheme. But I loved the retro graphic, so I clicked on it anyway, and the navy blue version is PERFECT! I'm so glad there was a template to follow for what info goes on the card, because this was my first time organizing a bachelorette party. We are doing an all day affair, so I used the back of the card to show the itinerary in a navy blue font. I feel like I got a great value for 15 cards, and to cut corners (pun intended) on price even more I didn't get a corner option and rounded the edges myself with scissors. I wasn't expecting much with the plain white envelopes, but even those were high quality! Very thick and sturdy, took my ink calligraphy pen very well with no bleeding. I will definitely be using WPD for my future wedding stationery! :)"
"I ordered these for my sister's bachelorette and I absolutely love them! Great design and quality! This is the second time I've used wedding paper divas and once again have had a very good experience and received a great product."
"I chose this card planning to change the background color to purple. However, after a few iterations, I ended up sticking with the pink. I'm so glad I did! My friend is having a retro-inspired wedding, and this invitation fit the bill perfectly. The paper and printing were top quality, and I've done some design and printing myself so I'm definitely a tough customer. I was so happy to send these out, and the bride was ecstatic. I couldn't believe how excited she was to receive the invitation to her own bachelorette party!"
"Everyone loved them, the design is so girly yet chic, and the options for font, round edges and shimmer are great. Customer service and communication was awesome and will not hesitate to do all my orders for this type of thing again. thanks for making it so easy!"
"Loved this invitation for my best friend's bachelorette party. The quality of the card was great and the delivery was fast! Thanks!"
