Simply organized
Here are some ideas to help you to get your office or home office organized in less than 30 minutes a day, from Office Depot organizing expert Stephanie Winston's "Five-Day Office Makeover Plan:" To get started, Winston advises you spend a few minutes getting organized each day using the following approach: -- Slim Down the Piles: A slimmed down waist line is wonderful, but what can you do about that huge stack of papers on the desk that has grown into multiple piles? Winston suggests the TRAF system: Toss, refer, act and file. Toss things of no interest, but use a shredder to avoid identity theft. Refer paperwork to a colleague who might need it. Act on the task and make sure to finalize the activity. File the paper if it could be used in the future. -- Tone-Up To-Do Lists: Create a master list categorized by priority and divide and conquer by breaking down large projects into manageable portions.
Radiesse(R) Survey Finds Over 22 Million U.S. Women More Apt to Use a Safe, Longer-Lasting and Affordable Cosmetic ...
According to a new Radiesse "Face of Beauty" survey, over 22 million women aged 35 and older who have not used a cosmetic filler would be more likely to use an injectable filler for facial wrinkles if it were proven safe, more affordable, longer-lasting and stimulated the body's growth of collagen -- the key attributes of next- generation Radiesse(1).

Radiesse is the first cosmetic filler with advanced calcium-based microsphere technology that has a proven one year benefit and safety profile on par with collagen. It was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Panel: No failure limits on birth control pills
The government shouldn't set failure limits on birth control pills because that could put less-effective but still beneficial contraceptives off limits to women, federal health advisers recommended Wednesday. The FDA scheduled meetings both Tuesday and Wednesday with its outside experts to gather advice on future guidelines that drug makers could follow in seeking approval for new hormonal contraceptives. The FDA is looking at how well studies done prior to approval of new birth control pills reflected their "real-world" use. Typically, that use is less consistent and reliable than it is in clinical studies. Also, newer versions of the pill aren't being tested on women who reflect the broader population. The women in clinical trials are younger, skinnier and healthier than are U.S.
