At 37 I was considering an undereye lift but are there other options? (photos)
Doctor Answers 10
Options for under eye area
There are non surgical options that are available for you to consider. A combination of treatments should help you see a noticeable improvement. You can consider Botox or Dysport for the "crows feet" area. This is a simple treatment done by injection and will last approximately 3 months. You also may consider fillers for under the eye to give a smoother, better contour. Finally skin treatments such as lasers, chemical peels, and microneedling (Skin Pen) will improve the texture and quality of the skin. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to learn more.

Options for undereye problems
I do not recommend surgery at your age and with the relatively minimal degree of deformity. For dynamic wrinkles consider Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. For the hollowed and dark circles consider monophasic HA fillers such as Belotero or fat transfer to blend the eyelid with the cheek contour. Fractional CO2 laser or a chemical peel, such as Jessner's/ 35%TCA or 88% phenol is a great way to tighten crepey skin and improve fine wrinkling. Consult a board certified specialist in your area.
More than one treatment for under eye area
To improve the appearance of your lower lid, there is more than one treatment option because there is more than one cause making your under eye appear tired.
For the smile lines (crow's feet), treatment with Botox or Dysport would be most effective.
The lower lid bag may be treated surgically with a lower lid blepharoplasty to reduce the "puff" beneath the eye.
Non-surgically, the cheek may be treated with filler. As you age, you begin to lose facial fat. When facial fat is lost in the cheek, your lower lid loses its support and lengthens, causing a more tired, worn appearance. Treating the cheek gives lift to the overall facial structure and support back to this area, shortening the distance between your lower eyelashes and the top of your cheek. This gives a more refreshed appearance and reduces much of the shadow cast on the lower lid. This, however, would not remove any of the fat pocket of your lower lid. Only surgery can do that.

Options for under eye rejuvenation
Based on the photos provided, the best treatment options for you would be non-surgical. Chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing can be used to improve the fine wrinkles in the lower eyelids. The lateral skin rhytids, or crows feet, can be addressed nicely with toxins, such as Botox. Conservative use of dermal fillers in the lower eyelids can be used to improve the overall contour. Thank you for your question and best of luck.
Eye Rejuvenation Treatments
Thank you for your question. There are a variety of non surgical eye rejuvenation treatments available. For crow's feet Botox can be an efficacious option. For under eye rejuvenation injectable fillers, laser rejuvenation, and peels can be effective. I would recommend an in person consultation to determine your candidacy. Best wishes.

Under Eye Rejuvenation with fillers, lasers, microneedling/prp
There are alot of great options for this area. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under eye hollows. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Young with wrinkles
This is a common question so I will give you how things are done in our practice.
For smile lines (around the eyes) and forehead wrinkles, at your age, strategically placed botox. For the dark circles you really need a good facial analysis and physical exam to determine the cause as different causes lead to different treatments.
For example, in my hands, lax skin = laser resurfacing
Orbital fat prolapse = transconjunctival blepharoplasty with fat repositioning, possibly autofat transfer to the face vs. synthetic filler
Deep nasojugular groove = possible mid face lift
Festoons = classic blepharoplasty with orbicularis work and possible skin pinch
Hope this helps.
Best of luck,
Lower eyelid concerns
Based on the pictures provided it seems that injectable treatments could be an alternative solution to surgery. If your concern are the wrinkles that appear when you express yourself (ie: smiling) then Botox would be the best treatment. If your concern are wrinkles at baseline, or without expression, then Fraxel would be a good treatment choice. Botox and Fraxel both have a high safety-profile and would be perfectly acceptable forms of treatments for your concerns.
Seek treatment by an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon, or dermatologist.
There is no remedy for forming that smile wrinkle without destroying the appearance of the eyelids.
You do not need lower eyelid surgery. Your lower eyelid is beautiful and lower eyelid surgery will not make it more beautiful but it will harm your lower eyelid by making it hollow, placing a scar under your eyelashes, paralyzing the lower eyelid muscles. This will make you look older and not better. Instead of surgery, I recommend under eye fillers. Less is more and look for the very most experienced injector you can find for this. That is easier said than done. I do see folks who fly in from your community so I know finding the right doctor is challenging.

Nonsurgical lower eyelid lift
Most of your concerns can be improved with injectable fillers. The smiling wrinkles may also require botox. Check out the video and webpage for details!

CANON SEES 1st PROFIT FALL IN 9 Years
CANON SEES 1st PROFIT FALL IN 9 Years
2008-10-29 at 11:15:45 am #20675
Canon cuts forecast, sees 1st profit fall in 9 yrs
* Q3 profit down on firmer yen, slow copier, camera sales
* Cuts 2008 oper profit outlook 25%, sees first fall in 9 yrs
* Profit may fall again in 2009 if yen stays firm
Oct 08- Japan's Canon Inc posted a 26 percent drop in quarterly
operating profit and cut its annual outlook, predicting its first fall
in nine years as the global downturn drives up the yen and hurts copier
and camera sales.The yen on Monday traded much firmer against the euro
and the dollar than Canon's assumptions for October-December, raising
concern that the company may miss its latest 2008 outlook and head into
another year of profit declines next year.Canon's downward revision,
its second for the year, was widely expected after Sony Corp last week
lowered its annual operating profit forecast by 57 percent, citing a
stronger yen and slower sales of flat TVs and digital cameras.
is the world's largest digital camera maker ahead of Sony and Nikon
Corp "The economic slowdown we are facing is something that comes along
once in 50 years or once a century. It is beyond what any one single
company can deal with on its own," Canon Managing Director Masahiro
Osawa told a group of reporters."Our basic stance now is we hone our
corporate strength, so we will be running ahead of competition when the
economic recovery comes."Canon cut its operating profit forecast for
2008 by a quarter to 580 billion yen ($6.18 billion), down from 756.67
billion yen a year earlier and below the market consensus of 693
billion yen from 19 analysts polled by Reuters Estimates.
supplier of IXY and EOS brand digital cameras is assuming euro/yen
exchange rate of 135 yen for the last three months this year, and a
dollar/yen rate of 100 yen.
In comparison, the euro traded
around 115 yen and the dollar at about 93 yen on Monday."With the euro
at 115 yen now, I'm afraid their forecasts do not make much sense any
more," Mizuho Securities analyst Ryosuke Katsura said.If exchange rates
stay at current levels next year and Canon's local currency-based sales
are unchanged from 2008, its operating profit would fall by about 40
percent from this year to around 350 billion yen in 2009, Katsura said.
firmer yen eats into exporters' overseas revenue when converted back
into the Japanese currency.Operating profit at Canon, which competes
with Xerox Corp , Ricoh Co Ltd and Konica Minolta Holdings Inc in
copiers and printers, came to 129.3 billion yen in July-September, down
from 174.22 billion yen a year earlier.Net profit fell 21 percent to 83
billion yen on sales of 985.99 billion yen, down 6.2 percent.Ricoh said
in August it would acquire U.S. office equipment distributor Ikon
Office Solutionsfor $1.62 billion, in a blow to Canon's operations in
the key U.S. market.
Canon machines represent 60 percent of the
products Ikon handles, but Ricoh said it aimed to replace Canon
products with its own printers and copiers in three to four years.Canon
cut its compact digital camera sales forecast for 2008 by 6 percent to
23.5 million units, boding ill for the earnings performance of
Panasonic Corp , another major digital camera maker set to report
half-year results on Tuesday.
Sony, the maker of Cyber-shot
digital cameras, last week lowered its compact digital camera sales
outlook for the year ending in March 2009 by 8 percent to 24 million
units.Prior to the earnings announcement, shares in Canon closed down
10.9 percent at 2,375 yen, underperforming the Tokyo stock market's
electrical machinery index , which fell 7.3 percent.Canon shares lost
49 percent from the start of the year to Friday, while the sub-index
fell 56 percent. ($1=93.87 Yen)

Steve Kurtz is a professor of art at the SUNY Buffalo, former professor of art history at Carnegie Mellon University and a founding member of the performance art group, Critical Art Ensemble. The FBI knows him for his work in BioArt, and Electronic Civil Disobedience, and because of his arrest in May 2004. His work often deals with social criticism. Kurtz is a founding member of the award-winning art and theater collective, Critical Art Ensemble (CAE). Since its formation in 1987 in Tallahassee, Florida, CAE has been frequently invited to exhibit and perform projects examining issues surrounding information, communications and biotechnologies by museums and other cultural institutions. These include The Whitney Museum and The New Museum in NYC; The Corcoran Museum in Washington D.C.; The ICA, London; The MCA, Chicago; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; and The London Museum of Natural History; and the Kunsthalle Luzern. The collective has written six books, and its writings have been translated into 18 languages. Its work has been covered by art journals, including Artforum, Kunstforum, and The Drama Review. Critical Art Ensemble is the recipient of awards, including the 2007 Andy Warhol Foundation Wynn Kramarsky Freedom of Artistic Expression Grant, the 2004 John Lansdown Award for Multimedia, and the 2004 Leonardo New Horizons Award for Innovation.
In May 2004, Kurtz called 911 to report the death of his wife, Hope Kurtz, by congenital heart failure. In order to create their art installations the Kurtzes sometimes worked with biological equipment and had a small home lab and petri dishes containing biological specimens. At the time of Hope Kurtz's death they were working on an exhibit about genetically modified agriculture for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Buffalo police deemed these materials suspicious and notified the FBI, who detained Kurtz for 22 hours without charge on suspicion of "bioterrorism." Meanwhile, dozens of federal agents in hazardous material suits raided the Kurtz home, seizing books, computers, manuscripts, and art materials, and removing Hope Kurtz's body from the county coroner for further analysis. Kurtz was allowed to return to his home one week later, after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had determined that nothing in the home posed any sort of public or environmental health or safety threat, and that Hope Kurtz had died of natural causes.
In July 2004 a grand jury refused to bring any "bioterrorism" charges, but did indict Kurtz on federal criminal mail fraud and wire fraud charges. Also indicted was Dr. Robert Ferrell, Professor of Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, who served as a scientific consultant on Critical Art Ensemble's projects. The charges concern the way Kurtz and Ferrell allegedly ordered and mailed the non-pathogenic bacteria used in several museum installations. Under the USA PATRIOT Act the maximum possible sentence for these charges has increased from five to twenty years in prison. The charges related to how Ferrell allegedly helped Kurtz obtain $256 worth of harmless bacteria. "This the first time in the history of the federal courts that the U.S. Department of Justice is intervening in the alleged breach of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) of no hazardous materials in order to redefine it as a criminal offense." In October 2007, Ferrell pleaded "guilty" to misdemeanor charges. Ferrell's wife and daughter subsequently issued public statements saying the plea deal was due to the stress of the case and severe illness (Ferrell is a 27 year survivor of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and suffered a series of strokes following his indictment in 2004). Ferrell was later sentenced to a year of unsupervised release and fined $500. Kurtz has received much of his legal representation from Paul Cambria, a Buffalo-based attorney who specializes in First Amendment issues.

We all have one. We all have our reasons for it. I think Friday is a fairly common favourite, right? Isn't that what that whole TGIF thing is about? Or was that for family comedies of the 90's?
You won't be shocked when I tell you my favourite day of the week is Thursday. Even still when all of the days of the week melt together and I hardly know the date I know that Thursday is my favourite. Jesse takes the day off clinic and we get to spend time together as a family. Or if I have a metric tonne of work to do Jesse will take George out of the house for me. Either way it's a happy day for me.
I could go back as far as my memory would carry me and Thursday would still be at the top of my list. I was born on that day in August of 83. That was probably one of my best Thursdays.
But the time of my life that I remember just adoring this day was when I was 17. At that time I lived on my own and worked at a call centre selling encyclopedias and pantyhose (over the phone, can you believe that?!). Every week at exactly 12 midnight on Friday we got paid. However, as far as I was concerned that was Thursday night and it was time to %*$@ing party. The day would be so full of anticipation that I would find myself holding my breath all the time. You see, up until that point I hadn't been allowed to have much fun. I didn't really know how to handle my fun. But I tried my best to be responsible so I made sure there was a line in the budget for alcohol and other good-time supplies like make-up.
When I think back to that time I can't help but to steal away for a moment and sink deep into those memories. That girl was wild. She was foolish and brave and loud and eager. She made mistakes that break my heart to this day. She made other decisions that still make me proud. She took risks without a second thought that today would make me vomit on my shoes. Sometimes I'd like to go back, grab her by the shoulders and beg her to stop for a minute and just talk to me. She and I, we still have a lot in common but with every passing Thursday I realize how far apart we've grown.
Perhaps next Thursday I'll crack open a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and send out a silent toast. Nasty, sugary, vodka based coolers - just another thing that 17 year old me and 28 year old me can agree on.
I think a persons favourite day of the week can say a lot about that person. What's your top choice and why?

If not, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to get a work visa. What are they offering to pay you? For this type of work, I´d expect salary to be counted in hundreds rather than thousands. Also, academies in Spain do not often recruit at a distance. Email them at firstname.lastname@example.com to ask, and given that "Aida" used a hotmail address is certainly an alarm bell.

Lee Tilley, a mountain of a man considered by man as one of the best tackle prospects in the country, has all the size and quickness that the college recruiters are looking for. He played right tackle, but last year he played left tackle and will play there again this year.
"I graded out at about 90 percent last season," said Tilley. "We did alright as a team, but we could have done better. We finished 5-5 on the year and that was disappointing because we have some excellent players on both sides of the ball. We have a number of D-1 guys that signed last year and who will sign this year, but we couldn't quite get over the hump last year. I felt I did decent, but I feel that I could have played better to help out the team."
Tilley benches 300 pounds, squats 450 and played basketball until mid-season last year when he decided to just concentrate on football. Tilley went to Ohio State's football camp last summer and he has been offered by 18 schools at this point.
"I am trying to rate each school individually,so right now I don't have a favorite school," said Tilley. "I don't have a top five yet, but I am trying to get there. I don't have information on all the schools that I need. First and foremost, I need to know if that school has my major. I want to major in business and I want to make sure that the schools that I am interested in have a good business school.
"Then I want to look at the graduation rate. I want a head coach that likes his players and likes to work with his players. I want a coach that will be there for me through my entire career, and a coach that will be there for me even if I get hurt and can't play any more. I want an atmosphere within the football program and on campus that I can enjoy.
"I have to find a school that has an area that that I can enjoy and be entertained. Basically, I am going to move to that school the next five years and I have to live in an area that I am going to enjoy. What is there to do at that school?"
So what schools is Tilley looking at?
"I am considering Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Nebraska in that part of the country. I will try to get to Syracuse back East and down South I want to look at Auburn, Georgia and Ole Miss. There are a number of other schools right now as well.
"Oklahoma is a great program and I have talked to the Coach (Wilson) there. They are always winning there and the odds are good that you are going to win a National Championship if you go there. None of the coaches are leaving Oklahoma because they are winning so much. I don't know about the academics at Oklahoma yet, and that is very important because life after football is very important for me. So, before I put them in my top five I need to find out about their academics."

Anne Rung, the president's pick to head the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, had her confirmation hearing on July 24.
Anne Rung, President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, told lawmakers that she wants to "break down the barriers" that stall innovation in federal acquisition.
At a brisk, sparsely attended confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 24, the former chief acquisition officer at the General Services Administration also cited as priorities better category management and giving the acquisition workforce the tools it needs to succeed.
Rung said she is particularly interested in creating topic specialization for acquisition officials. Often people who are buying pens and pencils for their agency are also tasked with major IT purchases.
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, the panel's ranking Republican, concurred.
"When it comes to acquisition, you need to know what you don't need," Coburn said. "We don't have people in the federal government that are knowledgeable to buy IT."
Rung also said that to spur innovation she would work "hand-in-hand" with U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel, U.S. CTO Todd Park and other senior IT officials to "streamline the acquisition process for agencies and industry, particularly small businesses, and break down the barriers that can keep innovation out of federal government procurement."
Rung said strategic sourcing presents a huge opportunity for innovation, increased efficiencies and cost savings.
"Strategic sourcing, or leveraging the federal government's vast buying power to get better prices and faster delivery, is one effective approach under this broader strategy of category management that will continue to be a priority for me if confirmed," Rung said.
The post of administrator for the Office of Federal Procurement Policy has been vacant since the departure of Joe Jordan, who stepped down in January and is now president of public sector at FedBid.
Rung served as GSA's chief acquisition officer from May 2012 to June 2013, when she was named associate administrator for the Office of Government-wide Policy at GSA.
Coburn and Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, chairwoman of the Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee, both expressed support for Rung during the hearing, which lasted less than an hour. Only two other members of the 16-member panel briefly attended the hearing.
The committee has not yet scheduled a vote on Rung's confirmation.

The sudden departures of senior GSA acquisition leaders were spurred by an increasingly bitter internal battle, according to a whistleblower investigation.
One has to agree re the thin resume. But the Federal Gouvernment is like a teaching hospital. We should expect learning on the job, some grievous/lethal failures, and negligible responsibility or accountability. Thus every appointment like this can be declared a success from the get-go. And we can sing Kumbaya every night, eh?
Agree with first Reader's Comment (David) about nominee's sparse quals. This position needs a seasoned acquisitions professional, not a young eager-beaver. There are plenty in both Government and industry with the requisite quals but then even a male might have to be picked.......an Obama tilt!
The answer is: bid out the hosting of the federal government to other cities (rotate just like the Olympics but every 10 years), nothing can be accomplished in DC.
Certaintly a worthy candidate for OFPP by dint of her titles. But can't see where she did anything but learn on the job. Would fit well with appointees of this administration, heavy on titles and degrees, but limited practical experience at the midlevels, or even high levels. We wish her good fortune in any case, as OFPP, during some periods, has mad some important pronunciamentos.
Funny how long vacancies at OFPP can go before anyone is motivated to fill them. This may suggest it is outlived its usefulness, or at least its location within OMB. It will never be allowed to have real influence again, as long as the WH and career ranks are compromised by conflicts of interest with contractors, including universities, FFRDCs and other mega nonprofits.

Now hold on a second, What exactly is the game here - that Jacob is trying to prove? Is he looking for good people period, or good people to replace him? Because if he finds someone to replace him that is good enough, does that mean that by winning he dies?
Or if they're both trapped there, is this why MIB is trying to prove him wrong? So if he dies with no proper replacement (or all the replacements being dead or off the island) then thats the only way he can escape?
If it's so crazy hard to find the replacements, then maybe Jake and MIB ARE the original protectors of the island?
Think about it, if they were just replacements for people before them, i dont think theyd be having this great debate about being proved wrong. Because, um, their predecessors found them right?

The Red Sox acquired their 2013 closer by trading for Joel Hanrahan last week, a decision likely based on the 36 saves and 2.72 ERA he posted last year. But does he really have the stuff of an elite ninth-inning guy?
Let's look closer at his stats.
Hanrahan's sub-3.00 ERA and batting average allowed of .187 were supported by an unusually high strand rate and low BABIP, two factors that will make it difficult for Hanrahan to replicate his 2012 season in 2013.
His percentage of baserunners stranded (89.7 percent) and BABIP (.230) both ranked in the top five among NL relievers with at least 50 innings last season and were far removed from his career averages of 75 percent and .306.
Though Hanrahan had an above-average strikeout rate in 2012, his walk rate jumped from six percent in 2011 to 14 percent in 2012 (fifth-highest in MLB) and his groundball rate fell by nearly 15 percentage points over the last two seasons.
This combination of statistics partly contributed to a 4.45 FIP (an ERA estimate based on strikeouts, walks, and home runs allowed), which ranked 118th out of 134 relievers with at least 50 IP.
The difference between his ERA and FIP was 1.74 runs.
What does that mean for Hanrahan's 2013 campaign?
Hanrahan explained this past Wednesday that the ankle injury he suffered late last season forced him to wear a tight brace that restricted his mechanics. He said he doesn't believe the walks (which rose from 16 in 2011 to 36 in 2012) will be a concern in 2013.
The Red Sox said they looked very closely at the reasons for the increase in walks for Hanrahan. In fact, manager John Farrell already has spoken with Hanrahan about correcting those numbers. Hanrahan will also speak with Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves and bullpen coach Gary Tuck at some point this offseason.
"It's not something we're concerned about long term," assistant GM Brian O'Halloran said. "We believe we're going to get the guy that has been a great closer for two years. Although we did pay close attention to (the walks) and looked into that, we feel very comfortable and confident he will be a very good closer for us going forward."
In 2011, five relievers with at least 50 IP had a FIP that was at least 1.5 runs higher than his ERA, and then pitched at least 35 innings the following season (Luis Ayala, Scott Downs, Alfredo Aceves, Eric O'Flaherty, Francisco Cordero).
Each of them, except for Ayala, had their ERA nearly or more than double in 2012.
