Question: I've always had trouble leaving voice mails. It seems like a very simple task, but I constantly fumble through leaving messages. I'm always losing my place or leaving messages that I know are confusing. What can I do to leave a better message? Answer: You are not alone.

Q: Steve — This USA TODAY Small Business Challenge makes me want to start a business too, but my question is, where does one find the money to start a business? — Stephen A: This question reminds me of a quote by Benjamin Franklin: "If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some." No, finding the money is not easy — but the good news is, if others did it, so can you. There

There's nothing better than a week-long spa vacation. But in this day and age, it's hard to find the time, and harder to find the cash. So we asked the beauty director of one of the country's top spas, to give us her tips on doing it yourself.

If you are having problems getting the format of your MS-Word document resume right, here are a couple of tips: Do not use non-standard fonts. Most fonts cannot be perfectly matched between Word and HTML, which could possibly make your resume difficult to read. Recommended fonts are Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, and Courier. Also use same font in the resume. Do not use spaces or tabs

Seed potatoes perform best if chitted: as soon as you get them home leave them in the light to encourage new shoots, knocking off any more than three chits before planting. • Plant in the ground (8in down, 12in apart) or, for better quality, in a large container with drainage. This gives you more control over conditions and it makes life trickier for slugs and snails. A stack of three car

Certain fats should be part of your healthy diet. They can lower your risk of disease. But you should make sure that you’re eating “good” fats instead of “bad” fats. Why do I need fat in my diet? Your body uses fat for energy. It also uses fat to build nerve tissue and hormones and to control inflammation. Fat also helps your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K from the foods you eat. But

At this age toddlers are moving from the eating habits they had as infants toward a diet more like your own. Your job is to keep broadening your child's palate by introducing new flavors and textures. Food preferences are set early in life, so help your child develop a taste for healthy foods now. Toddlers have little tummies, so serve foods that are packed with the nutrients they need to

What is HIV? The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the body's immune system. A healthy immune system is what keeps you from getting sick. Because HIV damages your immune system, you are more likely to get sick from bacteria and viruses. It is also harder for your body to fight off these infections when you do get them, so you may have trouble getting better. HIV is the condition

Nobody is naysaying the wonders of modern medicine—what would we do without a medication like penicillin to treat infections? But, as it turns out, everyday items have secret curing powers, too. Next time you don’t want to fork over money to get a common wart removed, consider using duct tape. Already popped two aspirin but can’t get rid of the headache? A pencil could do the trick. Below,

"Early retirees still wanting to work, career changers, people who can't retire yet," if these words describe your situation, the future opportunities are greater than you might expect. The good news is that the employee market for potential employers is shrinking due to the significantly smaller size of Generation X.

Every day, an average of 160,000 children in the United States stay home from school for fear of being bullied. Last year, bullying made national headlines when physical and emotional violence towards LGBT teenagers led to a series of painful suicides. The immediate response to this was impressive.

Initial chemistry is the spark that fuels a relationship, but that spark doesn’t always ignite for all the right reasons. Attraction is, to many of us, a mystery. How is it that qualities that led us to a person in the first place, can later repel us so strongly and lead to problems down the line? How does that cool confidence that once made us swoon turn into the soul crushing aloofness that

Woven into the many and varied items on my to-do list this week -- which range from getting my haircut to helping my husband edit one of his academic papers to writing, oh, about 6,000 blog posts -- is to be sure that every day, right before I pick up my son, I also pick up some tuna sushi.

Because our emotions are experienced in our bodies, emotions make us want to do something. People aren't built to simply lie back and feel their emotions.

One of the scariest experiences in a woman's life is being told, "I'm sorry, you have breast cancer." From this moment forward, nothing in her world will ever be the same. As earlier diagnoses are being made, more women are facing this scenario. Yet, with more knowledge and early detection on our side, more women are also surviving.

Malignant melanoma is the fastest rising cancer in the world. Since 1975, its incidence in white men and women has increased by about 240 percent and 170 percent, respectively, while its mortality has increased by 55 percent and 24 percent, respectively. In sharp contrast, malignant melanoma is virtually unknown in black men and women. All these articles focused on efforts to treat this lethal
