| The Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery Reviews Silicone Breast Implants
LA JOLLA, Calif.-(Business Wire)-January 17, 2007 - Are you considering breast implants? You now have the option of choosing a silicone or saline breast implant filling. Banned fourteen years ago, the FDA just recently re-approved silicone breast implants for use by women who are at least 22 years of age. There is strong scientific data behind the approval, leading proponents to assert that the silicone breast implants now available haven't just been reintroduced into the market, but are improved. .
Plastic surgery smack down
Sure, Janet Jackson's plastic-surgery-enhanced nose looks good -- if you compare it to siblings Michael and LaToya. By most standards, though, the nose looks overdone and, well, plastic. But if Miss Jackson's nasty nose is an example of the "bad," to whom do we look for the "good"? Ashlee Simpson. Her fans debate whether or not she should have tinkered with the "I Am Me" original version, but most onlookers would agree that the surgery itself was a success. Rumored to have undergone a new, less-invasive form of surgery that requires less time to heal, the difference is dramatic yet natural. .

Restoration of the former post office building that now houses the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art will become a reality thanks to a $137,595 grant from the Colorado Historical Societys State Historical Fund.
The grant will help kick off plans for a complete interior facelift of the former 1912 Federal Post Office building, transforming MOCA into a showcase for local, regional and national contemporary art. The museum is honored to receive this grant because it recognizes the impor-tance of the old post office building and its architecture to Fort Collins, also because it will ultimately result in a higher-quality exhibition program, Marianne Lorenz, MOCA executive editor, said in a statement.
Thanks to the State Historic Fund, the museum and the community have an in-credible opportunity, said Melissa Katsimpalis, president of the MOCA board of directors, in the statement.
Saks decides square is cool as it tries to lure core customers back
Saks wants to be square. That's the shape of the luxury department store's new logo, as well as everything from its gift cards to business cards. It is the basis of an extensive marketing campaign launched this month that officials hope will signal Saks's return to its core customers after years of turmoil in the upper ranks that alienated shoppers. Chief executive Steve Sadove has made it clear he wants to cater to wealthy women between the ages of 35 and 55 with classic tastes. The chain has suffered something of an identity crisis over the past few years, veering between edgy young shoppers and older traditionalists. That confused customers, and market share diminished. Though Saks has stabilised over the past year under Sadove, it remains to be seen whether the changes have rekindled shoppers' loyalty.
