Video: Cutera's Pearl Fractional Laser Answers Need for More Youthful Eyes

BRISBANE, Calif. May 27, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — Cutera, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUTR), a leading provider of laser and other light-based aesthetic systems worldwide, is driving category innovation with the Pearl Fractional eye treatment. This advanced laser procedure answers growing consumer demand for an aggressive yet affordable solution to what many doctors believe is the top facial aging concern: eyes.

"Pearl Fractional is a unique and outstanding treatment option for the delicate periorbital area, which often shows the first signs of aging and can be the most challenging to treat," said Brian Biesman, M.D., medical director of the Nashville Centre for Laser and Facial Surgery, Nashville, TN, and immediate past president of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. "The treatment works so well because it delivers very nice skin tightening plus it addresses skin quality – improving tone, texture and discoloration for an overall more youthful appearance."

Physicians traditionally treat photo-damaged skin around the eyes with spot laser treatments and dermal fillers. The new approach, pioneered by Dr. Biesman, not only uses Pearl Fractional around the eyes, but directly over the eyelids and under the eyes too.

Dr. Biesman notes that the procedure is especially popular with patients who are approaching a milestone. "A lot of my patients come to me on the 4s and the 9s – 34, 39, 44, 49," he said. "My patients are very pleased that they see immediate, noticeable improvement in a single treatment, with very little recovery time."

Pearl Fractional, utilizing a specialized patented 2790 nm wavelength, received FDA clearance in 2008 and offers physicians a new and beneficial approach to resurfacing the skin. As with all aesthetic procedures, patients should consult a physician experienced in aesthetic laser procedures to ensure that their treatment is safe and effective.

About Cutera, Inc.
Brisbane, California-based Cutera is a leading provider of laser and other light-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide. Since 1998, Cutera has been developing innovative, easy-to-use products that enable physicians and other qualified practitioners to offer safe and effective aesthetic treatments to their patients.

Hapus Virus W32.Sality

Komputer kena virus??? koq bisa tau??
Install beberapa Antivirus gak mau jalan.... diklik2x gak ada reaksi wah pasti deh...
kemungkinan besar adalah virus W32.Sality

Cara menghapus virus ini cukup menggunakan Removal Tools yang sudah disiapkan oleh Symantec
berikut Link untuk mendownload Removal Toolsnya
http://www.ziddu.com/download/3653712/FxSltyAE.rar.html

adapun nara sumber dari DetikNet :
Jakarta – Tidak semua program antivirus dapat membersihkan file yang sudah terinfeksi virus W32/Sality.AE. Malah bisa-bisa, file tersebut akan rusak setelah di-scan dan dibersihkan oleh antivirus yang tidak tepat.

Virus Sality akan menyebar dengan cepat melalui jaringan dengan memanfaatkan default share Windows atau share folder yang mempunyai akses full dengan cara menginfeksi file yang mempunyai ekstensi exe/com/scr.

Untuk itu, perusahaan sekuriti Vaksincom menyarankan pengguna komputer untuk menonaktifkan Default Share (C$, D$ .. dst) dan hindari full sharing folder Anda di jaringan.

Berikut 9 cara singkat membersihkan virus W32/Sality.AE yang diterima detikINET dari analis virus Vaksincom, Adang Jauhar Taufik, Rabu (4/3/2009):

1. Putuskan hubungan komputer yang akan dibersihkan dari jaringan dan internet.

2. Matikan System Restore selama proses pembersihan berlangsung.

3. Matikan Autorun dan Default Share. Silahkan download file berikut kemudian jalankan dengan cara: klik kanan repair.inf lalu install.

http://www.4shared.com/file/82762498/f5dc1edd/repair.html?dirPwdVerified=feea1d94

4. Matikan program aplikasi yang aktif di memori agar proses pembersihan lebih cepat terutama program yang ada dalam daftar startup.

5. Sebaiknya scan dengan menggunakan removal tools dengan terlebih dahulu merubah ekstensi dari removal tools tersebut dengan ekstensi lain [contoh: CMD] agar tidak diinfeksi ulang oleh W32/Sality.AE.

6. Agar komputer yang sudah terinfeksi W32/Sality.AE dapat booting safe mode, silahkan restore registry yang sudah diubah oleh virus.

Silahkan download file berikut kemudian jalankan sesuai OS yang terinfeksi W32/Sality.AE tersebut.

http://www.4shared.com/file/82761423/934fb170/_2__Sality.htmldirPwdVerified=feea1d94

7. Fix registry lain yang diubah oleh virus, silahkan download tools berikut kemudian jalankan file tersebut dengan cara: klik kanan repair.inf lalu install

http://www.4shared.com/file/82874724/f485f1dd/repair.html?dirPwdVerified=3b1f2fa9

8. Restart komputer dan scan ulang dengan menggunakan removal tools untuk memastikan komputer telah bersih dari virus.

9. Untuk pembersihan optimal dan mencegah infeksi ulang sebaiknya install dan scan dengan antivirus yang dapat mendeteksi Sality dengan baik.

Men More than Women Willing to Give Marriage a Second Chance

19 May 2009 14:00 Africa/Lagos

Men more than women willing to give marriage a second chance

Poll of Single Online Daters Unveils Who Would Take Another Trip Down the Aisle

MIAMI BEACH, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Garner have all taken a second trip down the aisle. While the current divorce rate is at its lowest since 1970, still one third of Americans who have ever married have divorced at least once. With wedding season starting at the end of the month, leading online dating websites Date.com (www.date.com), Matchmaker.com (www.matchmaker.com), and Amor.com (www.amor.com), polled its members to see who would be willing to give marriage a second chance after a divorce.


"We were shocked to see the overwhelming response by men willing to take another shot at marriage after a divorce, while women were less inclined to make the commitment twice," said Shira Zwebner, Relationship Advisor for Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com. "These results show just how much women's attitudes towards love and marriage have evolved over the years. Today, women are content being in a loving and committed relationship that doesn't involve a trip to City Hall, whereas men need the security of an official marriage to validate the relationship. And, with celebrity role model couples like Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, today's women are confident that their committed relationships no longer have to be State or Religiously sanctioned to be everlasting."


In a new nationwide survey of thousands of male and female online daters, ranging in ages from 18-55+, we asked: Harrison Ford finally proposed to Calista Flockhart after seven and a half years of dating! When it comes to second time around, is marriage these days necessary?


Following are the complete results:

Men

Yes 65.4%
No 23.1%
Only if adoption of children are involved 7.7%
Only if the couple is younger than 55 3.8%

Women

No 40.6%
Yes 28.1%
Only if the couple is younger than 55 18.8%
Only if adoption of children are involved 15.6%

So every time you buy (PRODUCT) REDTM, the money goes straight from your pocket to HIV/AIDS programs in Africa.

How (RED) Works

Helped provide more than 70,000 HIV positive pregnant women with preventative antiretroviral therapy to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission

Supported grants that finance health facilities, train health practitioners and care for children orphaned by AIDS

So (RED) money is doing some pretty extraordinary things, and everyday it's changing the lives of many people who otherwise wouldn't have access to lifesaving drugs, testing, counseling or even basic care. The everyday purchases you choose to make are making a world of difference. Check out our impact calculator to see exactly how much you are helping when you buy (PRODUCT) RED, whether it's an iPod, a t-shirt or a pair of sunglasses - you might be surprised how much it really means.
