M Murphy Cosmetic Tattooist
"I visited Melodee Murphy last month for an eyeliner tattoo and basically paid for tremendous pain without any results. The eyeliner tattoo was not done in the shape I wanted, not the right colour and most of it had disappeared in the first two days. The numbing creams she used were ineffective and bad quality. She was rude and disrespectful when I came back to show that my results were not what I wanted and would not even agree to a 50% refund. "

Renaissance Skin Care Pty Ltd
"Very good clinic"
Dentists Newtown
"Love this dentist - if you are in Newtown and need a check up, go and see them. They are really gentle and don't freak you out!"
CSD Specialist Laser Cosmetic Centre
"Dr Chen is not only rude and abrasive but appears uninterested in one's health. Furthermore this is advertised as being able to do skin cancer checks; in fact one part of the website claims it's a 'skin cancer center' and there is "20 years of experience diagnosing and treating skin cancers". He informed me he was not able to do a total skin check and would only do a spot check of a specific point I was concerned with. Complete waste of my time. "
Dr Gabrielle Caswell
"I would definitely NOT recommend this doctor for cosmetic procedures. Despite telling people she is a "cosmetic physician" she is simply a general practitioner that seems bored with the run of the mill coughs and colds and wants to try her hand at profitable cosmetic procedures.
Her knowledge seems limited and the prices are very high, but the biggest issue I faced was her EGO!"
Dentists Newtown
"I'm very conscious with my teeth and I like them white and clean. Since I was young, my mom would bring me to dentist to have them checked regularly. I'm just glad that Newtown had great and well experienced dentists who care about the teeth of their patients more than the profit that they will get. "
Dr. Darryl J. Hodgkinson
"I would highly recommend Dr. Hodgkinson to anyone I meet. He and his wonderful staff provided the best care and attention I needed following my operation. I had several procedures done at one time and whenever I had any concerns in the following days after surgery, the nurses never tired of listening to me and answering my many questions. I still have some recovery time left until I am completely healed but I cannot wait to see the final results!!
Cosmetic Surgery & Breast Implants
"We've just come back from Surgery Getaways in Thailand, were my wife underwent affordable breast enlargement surgery. Where do I start? The hospital was so luxurious it felt as if we were in a resort. It was like we were on a holiday, and the surgery was a minor part. I think that my wife will be telling all her friends that if they want cosmetic surgery, you have to do it in style with Surgery Getaways!"
The Victorian Cosmetic Institute Berwick
"I visited this clinic on several occasions to have laser treatment for melasma. The doctor also prescribed me a lotion to assist with fading the pigmentation. Very impressed with the results. I would happily return here for any other cosmetic services. "
Eyebrow Tattoos Adelaide
"I was recommended to Raschna after years of difficult eyebrow management. They were thick, oddly shaped and badly plucked. It was the best beauty decision I've ever made. I had no idea how important eyebrows were until I saw her results- my face looks so fresh, my features look lifted, people have been commenting on how good I look, all because of my beautiful brows. I can't thank Raschna enough, no wonder she is the brow guru. I can't recommend her enough to everyone in Norwood. "
Eyebrow Tattoos Adelaide
"My eyebrows were sparse from over waxing when I first saw the Brow Guru. She has given me tips to make them grow back and we are getting there. The threading - to tidy them up - is painless. They are looking the best they have in years and I regularly get compliments. Best eyebrow specialist in Adelaide!"
Eyebrow Tattoos Adelaide
"Have just had my eyebrows tattooed last night and they look fantastic. Everyone today kept telling me they look amazing now! Thanks Rachna"

"Not only the best dentist in Newtown but in the whole world! I hate going to the dentist but everyone at the clinic made me feel relaxed and comfortable. "
Nitai Skin Clinic Melbourne
"Having just finished a laser hair removal procedure over 4 visits I would like to say that the people at Nitai Skin Clinic are the friendliest most professional people I have ever dealt with."
Seeds of Beauty
"really satisfied with the whole team, Thanks"
Hornsby Cosmetic & Skin Cancer Clinic
"Friendly doctor and all Bulk Billed! I can't believe that! even my Varicose Veins!"
Cosmetic Surgery & Breast Implants
"The trip to Thailand and the arrangements these ladies made for me were without fault. The cosmetic surgery was a complete success and the care I recieved was more like a five star hotel than a hospital. in fact, the whole thing was more like a tropical holiday than anything else. I have highly recommended your service to all my friends.
"The office facility is really nice and clean. The staff are very friendly,informative and so so nice. I had been to other clinic to have Botox done and there has always been some nurse or a dermal clinician (glam name for beauty therapist) trying to sell me products or telling me what more i need making me fell worse than when i first came in. At Esteem Studio, Dr. Zacharia was extremely professional and knowledgable. He was down to earth, but you could tell he was really smart & knew a lot about what he was talking about. ive now been to him for Botox and will definitely go back every 3 months to get more. This clinic has succeeded in making me feel comfortable, relaxed, and thoroughly discussed my questions and diagnosis. Couldnt be happier, would highly recommend!!"
General & Cosmetic Dentist Hills District
"Very good dentist and they dont keep you waiting either"
ZENITH Cosmedical
"The one on one service was refreshing. Free information on any procedure I was interested in. Very competitive prices as well. I would recommend Zenith to anyone. Melissa H"
Castro Zenaidy Dr.
"I went to her practice for toothache and I was very anxious both on pain and on the bills, but I was so astounded how great dentist she was. She is so gentle and patient and gives painless injections, and I like her unhurried approached of waiting for the local anesthetic s to work very well. Her fees are reasonable and she did a great job. Highly recommended. I like her relaxing colourfull office also"

Meningitis puts spotlight on compound medicines
- Specialty pharmacies under scrutiny
- Outbreak spurs debate over regulation
- Safety concerns raised over compound meds
NASHVILLE -- The fungal meningitis outbreak centered on Nashville has renewed debate over who should regulate specialty pharmacies that compound medicines.
While they fall under the purview of state pharmacy boards, critics contend those state agencies are often too understaffed and underfunded to adequately monitor such facilities. They want the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to take a greater regulatory role.
But the FDA has said it will do that only on a case-by-case basis -- such as the meningitis outbreak that surfaced in Nashville and has since spread to four other states.
Authorities said all of those infected with fungal meningitis received spinal injections of a steroid solution sold by New England Compounding Center, a specialty pharmacy in Framingham, Mass. It and similar facilities combine, mix and/or alter active ingredients to make custom medications, much like early pharmacists.
These modern-day apothecaries now are supplying a greater share of the medicines Americans take, driven by the surge in outpatient procedures, development of bio-engineered drugs and a push for more individualized treatment, experts say.
"Their numbers are growing dramatically," said Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni, a Florida-based pharmaceutical consultant who has taught at Belmont University's pharmacy school in Nashville.
Estimates vary on how many compounded medications are dispensed. A 2003 Government Accountability Office report cited figures that ranged from 1 percent to 10 percent of all U.S. prescriptions.
The growth has fueled concerns about the safety and sterility of compounded medications. A 2006 FDA laboratory analysis of compounded medicines found a third were either too potent, not potent enough or had been divided into unequal dosages.
However, the FDA has been selective in its enforcement of compounding pharmacies.
The agency said it targets "firms that manufacture large quantities of unapproved new drugs under the guise of traditional compounding, and whose compounding practices result in significant violations of the new drug, adulteration, or misbranding provisions" of federal drug regulations.
As a result, the responsibility largely falls to state pharmacy boards, whose enforcement capabilities vary.
"They're not always equipped manpower-wise or financially to survey these pharmacies," said Allen Vaida, executive vice president of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, a patient-safety advocacy group based in Horsham, Pa. "The smaller ones "1/8 it just seems like they fall into a black hole."
His group and others have pushed for greater FDA oversight, citing recent outbreaks linked to compounded medications as evidence of the need. Among them:
-- A bacterial infection that killed nine people in two Birmingham, Ala.-area hospitals in early 2011. Another 10 people were sickened by the Serratia marcescens bacteria, which was in an intravenous nutritional supplement prepared by a local compounding pharmacy, the New York Times reported.
-- Bacteria-tainted Avastin injections that caused eye infections in four patients at the Veterans Affairs' Nashville hospital in March 2011. The hospital had compounded the Avastin for eye injections from packaging intended for intravenous use.
-- A fungal endophthalmitis outbreak that struck 33 people in seven states who underwent eye surgery between November 2011 and April 2012, causing vision loss and blindness in some. It was linked to an injectable dye produced by a Florida compounding pharmacy, the FDA said.
The same Florida company, Franck's Lab, also made an injectable supplement that killed 21 polo horses in April 2009, the Associated Press reported. In that case, Franck's won a federal court ruling that said the FDA had no jurisdiction over compounding of veterinary medicines given to non-food animals.
But the agency acted against the company again after the endophthalmitis outbreak earlier this year, saying in a July 9 warning letter that "environmental sampling revealed the presence of microorganisms and fungal growth in the clean room where sterile products were prepared."
As a result, Franck's stopped selling sterile products -- including methylprednisolone, the drug implicated in the Tennessee outbreak -- in May, well before the current outbreak, according to FDA records.
Despite those and other high-profile cases, advocates have made little progress in gaining greater federal oversight of compounding pharmacies, Vaida said. The Nashville meningitis outbreak could help change that.
"We feel they should be under FDA control because they are manufacturing," he said. "Unfortunately, cases like this are what get that effort going."

Ryan ahead of Clinton in one race
Rep. Paul Ryan finished ahead of Hillary Clinton — at least on the newest New York Times Best Seller list.
The Wisconsin Republican's newest book, "The Way Forward," will debut at No. 5 on the nonfiction hardcover best-sellers list, one spot ahead of Clinton's "Hard Choices," according to an advance copy of the list provided to POLITICO.
Ryan is on a nationwide publicity tour for the book, which wraps up Friday night with a speech at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.
( Also on POLITICO: Clinton bemoans policing inequities)
Ryan's publisher, Twelve — an imprint of Hachette Book Group — says Bookscan shows he has sold 6,266 copies of the book. That number does not capture all sales, and the publisher says approximately "12,000 units were sold" last week. The publisher said sales were impacted by the spat between Amazon and Hachette — the book was not available for pre-order.
Clinton's book sold more than 85,000 copies in the first week — exponentially more than Ryan's book.

Illinois' Department of Natural Resources is heralding the conviction of three hunters in what it describes as one of the state's biggest deer-poaching cases.
The department's conservation police chief, Rafael Gutierrez, said Wednesday that the convictions demonstrate authorities "will bring violators to justice." The three were arrested in 2011 on suspicion of poaching two dozen deer. All have now pleaded guilty.
Most recently, 46-year-old Christopher Kiernan of Minooka (mi-NUUK'-uh) pleaded guilty on April 5 in a Grundy County court to multiple charges. That included the unlawful take of a 36-point deer. He must pay $10,000 in restitution. His hunting equipment was seized and he can't hunt for at least two years. No one answered Wednesday at a residential phone number for Kiernan.
The other men pleaded guilty earlier.

In 1987, I presented a scientific paper at a conference
in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
At that time, Prague was a city in the territory under
control of the Soviet Union.
I have always performed my research on my own time and money.
I attended the conference on my vacation.
Needless to say, the other attendees were quite curious
about my personal research efforts.
During this time, I had an interesting conversation with
a Polish attendee while walking along the river:
POLISH ATTENDEE: We are not special.
MY RESPONSE: Being special is defined by what you do
to be the very best in your field.
POLISH ATTENDEE: We have no resources.
MY RESPONSE: Do you have a personal computer at your home?
POLISH ATTENDEE: Yes.
MY RESPONSE: Probably a better one than I have. My is
a Heathkit H89.
POLISH ATTENDEE: The bosses will not like it.
MY RESPONSE: Usually, the bosses don't kill the goose
that lays the golden egg right away.
At this point he understood and I was effectively
"walking on water".
You ask: why am I sharing this little bit of history
with you.
History is a great teacher and today we need to learn
this lesson.

> This past seven-game road trip certainly saw some high points from the Brewers, but in the end, they went just 3-4. After a discouraging start to the series in Cincinnati, the Brewers managed to escape with a split of the four-gamer, but dropped two of three to the Marlins in Miami.
> The first game of the Cincy series– a 9-5 loss– was not good. Chase Anderson's struggles continued, as he went five innings while giving up seven runs (six earned) on six hits. Anderson desperately needed a decent start; he had gone 0-3 with a 10.12 ERA in his three games prior. However, the Reds jumped all over him early, putting up a five-run first inning followed by two more in the second. The biggest blows were Jay Bruce's three-run blast and a two-run shot from Brandon Phillips. The Brewers eventually started to fight back in the late innings, but it was too little, too late. Alex Presley's two-run blast knocked Alfredo Simon (7 2/3 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K) out of the game, and then Chris Carter hit a missile of a solo shot in the ninth.
The second game wasn't much better. The Reds knocked around Tyler Cravy, who was making a spot start for Wily Peralta while he was on paternity leave. Cravy struggled in his four innings of work, allowing five runs on six hits while walking two and striking out four. Joey Votto and Phillips both had home runs off Cravy while Adam Duvall hit an RBI double. Rookie starter Tim Adleman was good for the Reds, holding the Brewers to a run on four hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out four; the only damage against Adleman was Presley's second home run of the series. Also notable in this game was the Reds snapping a streak of 24 games in which their bullpen had allowed at least a run.
Things turned around for the Brewers in the third game, as they won 13-7 in 10 innings. Jimmy Nelson (5.0 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 5 K) got knocked around, and the Brewers found themselves down 6-2 heading into the sixth inning. However, a three-run sixth that included a solo homer from Jonathan Lucroy and an Aaron Hill two-run shot pulled them within one. Hill then tied the game in the eighth on his second home run of the game. The Brewers managed to send the game to extras, and they broke the game open in the tenth inning. Ryan Braun, Lucroy, and Carter hit consecutive singles to load the bases with no outs, and then Hill came up and slugged his third home run of the game in the form of a go-ahead grand slam. The Brewers didn't stop there, as Jonathan Villar hit a bases-clearing double later in the inning to put the Reds away.
The fourth game, a 5-4 Brewers win, was another great comeback. Milwaukee struck first on Braun's solo shot in the first inning, but then the Reds got to Junior Guerra (6.0 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 6 K) in the third as Tyler Holt, Ivan De Jesus Jr., and Votto all had RBI hits. Duvall then hit a home run in the fourth to extend Cincinnati's lead to 4-1. However, the Brewers would slowly chip away over the next few innings to eventually regain the lead. Hernan Perez hit a solo shot in the fifth, Lucroy had an RBI double in the sixth, Villar had an RBI groundout in the seventh to tie the game, and then Lucroy hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth.
> The Miami series did not go as well. Milwaukee's lineup was torn to shreds by Jose Fernandez in the first game; the Marlins' ace fired seven shutout innings while giving up just four hits. He walked four and struck out 11. The only Brewers run came when Bryan Morris walked Domingo Santana with the bases loaded in the ninth. Peralta started for the Brewers, and wasn't as terrible as he usually has been this season: he went six innings while giving up two runs on 10 hits. He walked two and struck out four. Peralta should have actually had one more run on his line, but he got lucky in the second inning. J.T. Realmuto hit what should have been a two-run home run, but he "passed" Marcell Ozuna on the basepaths and was called out; he was credited with an RBI single instead of a home run. It actually appeared to be Ozuna's fault, as he was a few feet off first base waiting to see if the ball would be caught. Then, after Realmuto had already rounded first, Ozuna ran back to first, for whatever reason, as if he was getting ready to tag and take second base. It wound up not costing the Marlins anything, but it was still inattentive baserunning on Ozuna's part.
The Brewers won the second game handily, 10-2. Zach Davies finally won his first game of the year, going five innings while giving up two runs on five hits. He walked three and struck out one. The only damage against Davies came on Realmuto's RBI double in the second inning and an RBI single from Ozuna in the third. Milwaukee didn't hit any home runs, but a majority of the lineup had great days at the plate. Villar went 2-for-6 with two RBIs, Perez was 2-for-3, Braun 2-for-4 with two RBIs, Hill 3-for-4 with two RBIs, and Presley 2-for-5. Adam Conley (4.0 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) took the loss for the Fish, as he was not nearly as effective as he was at Miller Park a few weeks ago when he tossed 7 2/3 hitless innings.
The rubber game was a disappointing one for the Crew, as they lost 3-2. Anderson (6.0 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K) finally rebounded and posted a quality start, but he fell to a dominant Wei-Yin Chen, who struck out 12 Brewers. Anderson was stellar aside from a bad fifth inning, when he gave up a two-run homer to rising Brewer-killer Justin Bour and an Adeiny Hechavarria sacrifice fly. The only damage the Brewers could manage against Chen was a Villar RBI groundout and Braun's RBI single, both of which came in the seventh.
> The Brewers reinstated Scooter Gennett from the 15-day disabled list today. He had been dealing with right oblique tightness when he was placed on the DL in late April. Gennett should be a boost to the lineup, as even though he's hit just .258 on the season, he had four home runs and a .361 on-base percentage through 18 games.
In a corresponding move, Milwaukee optioned infielder Yadiel Rivera to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Rivera had some good games here and there for the Crew, but overall was hitting just .196. It was clear that he lost his job as utility man to Perez, who has hit .276 since being recalled after Gennett was placed on the DL.
> Lefty Sam Freeman accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A.
> MLB Pipeline announced its top 30 prospects for each team, the first prospect list update of the 2016 season. Here is the Brewers' top 30, which hasn't changed much:

> After a slow start, Hill has found his stroke recently. Over his last 15 games, he's hit .333 with three home runs (all of which came in the same game) and 11 RBIs.
> Nationals starter Max Scherzer struck out 20 in a start against the Tigers last night, tying the Major League record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game. The only others to accomplish this feat are Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Kerry Wood.
> Mets starter Bartolo Colon hit his first big league home run the other night, and it was hilarious. I think the best part was that his home run trot took 31.1 seconds.
> The Brewers start a four-game set at home against the Padres tonight. Nelson (4-2, 3.74 ERA) will take on James Shields (1-5, 3.60 ERA). Milwaukee is the only team Shields has never faced in his big league career. Nelson is 1-1 with a 1.54 ERA in two career starts against San Diego.
Guerra (1-0, 6.00 ERA), Peralta (2-4, 6.75 ERA), and Davies (1-3, 6.29 ERA) will start the other three games of the series, while the Padres have yet to announce the order of their rotation.

This is the ninth year that Investment Advisor, AdvisorOne and Prima Capital, now Envestnet | Prima, will have researched, nominated and chosen the best separately managed account managers in multiple categories.
Below, we name those strategies, in alphabetical order, chosen as finalists by the 2013 SMA Managers of the Year Awards Committee in the large cap equity category. This year, the winners of the SMA Managers of the Year honors in this category and the others will be celebrated at a live event in Chicago, in online interviews posted to AdvisorOne and in the cover story of the June issue of Investment Advisor.
(See our 2013 SMA Managers of the Year home page for more information on the process, the finalists and, on and after May 1, the winners of this year's awards.)
The outlook for the economy is sunshine and roses—at least that's what some would have you believe.
"We have been and will continue to be extremely bullish," Richard Bernstein, former chief investment strategist at Merrill Lynch and current CEO of Richard Bernstein Advisors, has said in a number of venues recently, echoing popular sentiment among investment managers. "This could be the greatest bull market of our lifetime. It could rival the bull market from 1982. It won't be like that all over the world, but certainly here in the United States."
It would be undoubtedly good for the domestic large-cap equity space, and many of this year's Investment Advisor SMA Managers of the Year nominees, presented in partnership with Evnestnet | Prima, might agree with Bernstein in principle (if not degree), but the jury is still out. Sequester, debt and deficit, health care legislation, saber rattling across the globe, energy prices—it all adds up to uncertainty, to say the least, and yet each of the nominated firms continues to outperform.
Nominee 1: BRC Investment Management Large Cap Concentrated Equity
BRC Investment Management is the first nominee (alphabetically) in the large-cap category with a fascinating behavioral finance play; actually it's in the firm's name—"BRC" stands for Bounded Rationality Concepts. Like Wedgewood Partners below, BRC is no stranger to the lofty heights of the SMA Managers of the Year process, having won in 2012.
"Our strategy is to monetize irrational behavior," John Riddle, BRC's managing principal and chief investment officer, told us last year. "In that respect, Kahneman and prospect theory are very important to us."
So how do they do it?
"We can't produce economic forecasts better than the average of the experts, so we play in a different sandbox," Riddle explained. "We instead concentrate on what we think changes the expectations of investors and institutions by focusing on the behavior of security analysts."
Nominee 2: Robeco Investment Management BP Large Cap Value
The second nominee is the BP Large Cap Value product from Robeco Investment Management, which is lead managed by Mark Donovan (left), a founding partner of Boston Partners Asset Management and Robeco Investment Management's CEO. The strategy employs a three-step process, according to Envestnet |Prima's analysts, who recommended Robeco's product to the 2013 SMA Awards Committee.
"[The first step is] quantitative scoring and screening; second, fundamental analysis and recommendation; and third, portfolio construction and maintenance," the analysts said in their written recommendation. "The team starts by using quantitative disciplines to score over 6,000 stocks (generally greater than $3 billion in market cap) worldwide every day on a scale from one to 10 based on a weighted composite of their fundamentals, valuation and momentum using a proprietary rating system developed by the Boston-based quantitative group."
Nominee 3: TCW Investment Management Co. TCW Concentrated Core (Large Cap Growth)
Is there life after Jeffrey Gundlach? TCW's Craig Blum would certainly say yes, and it's reflected in performance that earned the Concentrated Core fund strategy he manages a nomination in the large-cap category for the 2013 SMA Managers of the Year.
"TCW utilizes a multi-factor investment strategy designed to identify opportunities not fully reflected in stock market valuations such as superior business practices, long-term trend analysis and valuation," according to Envestnet | Prima's analysts in making the recommendation to the 2013 SMA Awards Committee. "Companies targeted for investment typically are those believed to have strong and enduring business models and defendable advantages over their competitors. They must also be companies positioned to benefit from secular trends."
Nominee 4: Wedgewood Partners Large Cap Focused Growth
The category's final nominated strategy, managed by David Rolfe and his team at Wedgewood Partners, is no stranger to the SMA Managers of the Year awards, most recently winning the 2011 SMA Manager of the Year.
"We're big subscribers to the arguments put forth by Charles D. Ellis, author of 'The Loser's Game,'" Rolfe (left), chief investment officer of the St. Louis-based firm, told us two years ago.
"Instead of trying to time the markets and getting sucked into short-term volatility, we take a long-term view and let the markets work for us. Too many of our competitors try to do otherwise, and we refuse to play that loser's game. That, quite simply, is our investing philosophy. "
We invite you to return to the 2013 SMA Managers of the Year home page to read about the finalists in the other three categories; for additional and ongoing coverage of the winners, beginning on May 1; and for the awards ceremony.

Hantavirus is a rare but deadly disease that humans catch from infected rodents. About 30-40% of the people who contract the virus die from it. Knowing about the virus and ways to prevent catching it can help protect you and your family. Hantavirus is an airborne disease. The infection occurs when airborne virus particles from rodent droppings are inhaled. The virus does not spread from person to person.
In the western United States, deer and harvest mice are the main carriers of hantavirus. The disease does not affect the mice themselves. In San Diego County, deer mice are most found in rural areas, the desert and mountains. Avoid contact with all wild rodents, because they may also carry other diseases. Mice that commonly live with humans are house mice, not deer mice, and do not carry hantavirus.
The Vector Control Program routinely collect blood samples from deer and harvest mice and test it for hantavirus. If positive results are found, the public is notified on appropriate precautions to take, so they can continue to enjoy outdoor activities without putting themselves at risk of exposure.
Hantavirus in San Diego:
Hantavirus Detection in San Diego County
News Updates:
4 Wild Mice Collected in Campo Area Test Positive for Hantavirus
Symptoms Of Hantavirus
When infection occurs, symptoms may appear 1 to 6 weeks after exposure to rodents or their droppings. Beginning symptoms include:
- Severe muscle aches
- Chills and fever
- Headache or dizziness
- Difficulty breathing or coughing
- Respiratory problems or failure
- Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain
- Low blood pressure
People experiencing these symptoms should contact their doctor immediately.
There is no treatment or vaccine for hantavirus. Medical care can help reduce the symptoms while the infected person is recovering.
At Risk Activities
Certain activities can put people at more risk for hantavirus:
- Dry sweeping or using air blowers to clean structures that are not often used
- Working in barns or out-buildings
- Living in rodent-infested areas
- Occupying places that have been empty for a long time
- Using bare hands to handle grain that could be polluted with rodent droppings
- Hiking or camping in rodent-infested areas
There are several ways of preventing hantavirus infections. Personal protection measures listed below will help lower exposure to airborne particles when cleaning up rodent droppings.
- Do not vacuum, sweep or dust
- Air out unused rooms or buildings that have been empty for a long period of time for 30 minutes by opening doors and windows
- Use wet cleaning method
- Always wear latex or rubber gloves and protective respiratory equipment, such as a face mask
- Spray dead rodents or droppings with disinfectants before removing
- Place dead rodents and their nesting material in a sealed plastic bag before throwing them away
- After cleaning, wash your gloved hands, remove the gloves and dispose of them, and then wash your bare hands as well
Protect Your Home
One of the best ways of preventing exposure to hantavirus is to stop rodents from entering homes or cabins.
- Seal all holes large enough for mice to get in (dime-size or larger)
- Cover or pick up pet food dishes when they are not in use
- Store pet food in sealed containers
- Cover all trash cans with rodent-proof lids
- Use mouse traps where there is evidence of mouse activity
- Remove woodpiles, old cars, trash and debris where rodents may live
- Store hay or firewood at least 100 feet away from buildings
- Cut grass, weeds and trim bushes within 100 feet of buildings

The National Low Income Housing Coalition has put together the map above (h/t NYT) that underscores the real impact of inequality in our society. In a sentence, it shows the the rent is too damn high and the wages are too damn low.
In fact, there is no state in the country where a 40-hour minimum-wage worker can affordably rent a two-bedroom apartment (at fair market rent). In fact, in about half the states, even two 40-hour minimum-wage workers can barely afford that. This is why, pre-crisis, many activists focused on the fact that minimum wages are not living wages (and thus, the Democrats successfully raised the minimum wage after taking Congress in 2007). Regardless of that change, the minimum wage is worth less than it was in 1968. The value of the minimum wage over time actually captures the general stagnation of lower-class wages over the last 30-40 years.
And, one personal anecdote on this: when I was at Notre Dame, before I knew much about economics, my big cause was a living wage campaign on campus that turned into a more general pro-labor and pro-union effort. We organized and organized without getting very far, and the recession hit as I was graduating, and so little has happened since. However, what first drew me in was the simple notion that a worker at a Catholic institution (or anywhere for that matter) should be able to support their family working 40 hours. Maybe that is no longer part of the social contract, and we should just focus on employment. When the economy recovers, though, the ranks of the working poor will still be huge.

To add a little interest and bring your attention to the tree top, I notched around the tree by placing a Circle Nestabilites over the tree, tracing with a pencil and cutting. Then I used my brand spankin' new Classic Scallop Edgeabilities to cut and emboss the bottom . Love these!! LOVE! (oh, can't wait to show you all the cool things the Edgeabilities can do!) Last I tied some red baker's twine through a light green Pure Luxury Button (to pick up the pears) and tied a little bow. Card base is Lipstick Red. Cute? I think so! Like this set very much! (Of course the inside reads "...a partridge in a pear tree! Have a joyous holiday" :)
Next up we have one of the cutest "Free with Three" sets evah!! It's "Cool Beans"! I decided to paper piece the little coffee cup in three different Echo Park "Walk in the Park" prints and colored the coffee, beans ( E13 and E57) and spoon (W-3) with Copics. Tip: Don't forget to add a little shading with the W-3 over your paper piecing to make it more dimensional!
I put the cups and Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown mat at angles to go with the sentiment's and prints casual and funky feel, and sponged the edges to the Pure Luxury Tan Leather CS with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink to give the paper more depth and richness (like fresh brewed coffee, mmmm!) Brown baker's twine and a button to embellish. Have fun picking out three sets you love from the Gina K Designs store so you can bring this sweet set home! ;)
Enjoy hopping with the rest of the team, don't forget to leave comments all along the way for chances to win a free set of your choice from Gina K Designs, the more comments you leave the more chances you have to win!

Gold bugs dancing on the debt ceilingJanuary 24, 2013: 11:56 AM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
There is a common misconception that gold is only a great thing to own when investors are in full-blown Chicken Little panic mode. But gold has enjoyed a decent rally in the past few weeks even though very few people on Wall Street are looking up and seeing the sky falling.
Stocks are at five-year highs. CNNMoney's Fear and Greed Index is so firmly ensconced in Extreme Greed territory that it only has seven points to go before it reaches its maximum level of 100. Unless you're a shareholder in Apple (AAPL), there is little to be afraid of right now.
So why are gold prices up nearly 2% in the past month and back near $1,700 an ounce?
Edmund Moy, chief strategist with Morgan Gold in Irvine, Calif., and a former director of the U.S. Mint, has an interesting theory. Moy thinks that gold should continue to climb as long as the debt ceiling gets raised, and that there is even a pretty simple formula for how the price of gold tends to track the level of the debt ceiling. Just move the decimal point 10 places to the left.
To wit, Moy notes that the debt ceiling limit currently stands at $16,394,000,000,000. Gold is now around $1,672 an ounce. If Congress eventually agrees to raise the debt ceiling -- for argument's sake, let's say it gets bumped to near $18 trillion, then gold should start to move toward $1,800 an ounce.
Recent history seems to back up Moy's assertions. In March 2008, gold cracked the $1,000 level (not adjusted for inflation) for the first time ever. A few months later, the debt ceiling was raised to above $10 trillion for the first time. In November 2010, gold surpassed $1,400 an ounce. That happened a few months after the debt ceiling was raised to more than $14 trillion.
Related: Selling gold in Fort Knox is not a debt ceiling solution
Now it's hardly a perfect statistical correlation. When gold hit an all-time high above $1,900 an ounce in the late summer of 2011, that was shortly after the last debt ceiling debacle resulted in a downgrade of Uncle Sam's credit rating by Standard & Poor's. The debt ceiling did not get raised to $19 trillion. And unlike now, August and September of 2011 were fearful months, proving that gold can do well both in times of irrational pessimism and irrational exuberance.
It also may just be a statistical quirk that the price of gold for the past five years has closely mirrored the level of the debt ceiling -- once you lop off a bunch of zeroes.
Moy, who was director of the U.S. Mint from September 2006 through the beginning of 2011, conceded that investors should not expect gold to immediately spike once there is finally an agreement to allow the Treasury to borrow more.
"Gold should go up when the debt ceiling gets raised, but investors should expect a lot of volatility," he said.
Along those lines, gold prices have pulled back over the past two days -- and that could be attributed to the fact that it's no longer clear just when the debt ceiling will be raised after the House passed a bill Wednesday that, assuming it passes the Senate and is signed by President Obama as expected, puts a decision on the debt ceiling on hold until mid-May.>
But Moy's greater point is that as long as the U.S. remains a profligate spender, gold should continue to head higher.
"Gold should keep rising until the U.S. gets its fiscal house in order," Moy said.
That's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Related: Why aren't investors scared?
Adding fuel to the gold fire? The Federal Reserve.
The Fed has been in easing mode since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008. That's helped push up the value of gold since some investors feel that super-low interest rates and three rounds of asset purchases known as quantitative easing (Or is it now four? Five or six if you count Operation Twist and its extension?) will eventually fuel inflation and weaken the dollar.
Gold and other commodities, like oil, should retain more of their value in times of inflation since they are tangible assets. The greenback and other paper currencies could be big losers.
"Many investors primarily use gold as an insurance policy, a hedge," Moy said. "When the dollar gets devalued, gold goes up."
True. And the dollar is not the only currency game in town. Other developed nations around the world are playing games with their currencies. Japan has taken steps to rein in the yen through asset purchases, a plan that has angered some in Europe and sparked concerns of a currency war. The ECB has also pledged to buy bonds of troubled European nations if it sees fit, a strategy that could also put pressure on the euro.
That is all bullish for gold.
John Hathaway, manager of the Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX), wrote in a quarterly letter to investors earlier this month that he expects gold to top the 2011 all-time highs sometime later this year. He cites the worries about the health of the U.S. and Europe in particular.
"Such a move will be driven by the continuation of negative real interest rates and heightened concerns over the direction of monetary and fiscal affairs in all western democracies," Hathaway wrote.
Now none of this means that investors should rush to put a huge chunk of their investments into gold. Diversifying your portfolio is always smart. But those who keep dismissing gold as an asset that only crackpot conspiracy theorists could love and are predicting an imminent crash need to reconsider that position. After all, they've now been wrong for more than a decade.

Monitor: Oakland PD still regressing on reforms
A federal court monitor said that the Oakland police department's decade-old reform effort continues to backslide.
Robert Warshaw said in a report released Thursday that the department for the second straight quarter is declining in terms of reforming, especially when it comes to investigating complaints against the department and reporting the misconduct of fellow officers.
Warshaw criticized the department's handling of complaints resulting from the department's handling of Occupy Oakland protests and faulted rank-and-file officers for refusing to help investigators identify their colleagues who may have abused demonstrators.
"The shift from stagnation to decline should be as unacceptable to all parties, as it is to us," Warshaw said in his report. However, Warshaw did mention that the department was improving tracking potentially troubling behavior by officers.
In October, Police Chief Howard Jordan said he was seeking to fire two officers, demote a third and suspend 15 other officers because of their treatment of Occupy protesters.
Warshaw has been monitoring the reforms as part of a settlement stemming from a police brutality lawsuit in 2003 amid claims that several rogue officers, known as "The Riders," beat or framed drug suspects in 2000.
The claims resulted in nearly $11 million in payments to 119 plaintiffs and attorneys.
The reforms were to have been completed five years ago, but Warsaw says the department is still not in full compliance with 11 of the 51 assigned tasks, two more than the last quarter. One of those unfinished tasks includes documenting of the use of force by officers.
Barry Donelan, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association, said Thursday that Warshaw is acting like an "armchair quarterback" in his criticism of officers in relation to the occupy protests. Donelan added that it was unfair of Warshaw to expect officers to be keep tabs on each other under such dangerous circumstances.
"It's very nice to armchair quarterback a violent situation where officers were faced with a mob intent on injuring and hurting them, the citizens of Oakland and destroying this city's downtown," Donelan said.
Jordan, Mayor Jean Quan and City Administrator Deanna Santana said in a joint statement Thursday they "respectfully disagree" with some of Warshaw's findings as they await a federal judge's decision on a soon-to-be hired independent compliance director to ensure they complete the reforms.
"We plan to continue working through our concerns with his team in February, and we look forward to doing that work together," the city officials said. "We hear and respect the frustration from those who simply want these reforms done, and we remain dedicated and energized as we continue to build our compliance efforts.
"Our disagreements do nothing to lessen our resolve, and we take that responsibility head-on."
In his report, Warshaw said he was disturbed in which two officers pointed their guns at a sleeping toddler while investigating a misdemeanor case. He did not elaborate further.
Attorney John Burris, one of two lawyers overseeing the settlement and reforms, said Thursday that he anticipated another biting report from the federal court monitor.
"Not surprised but disappointed, the report confirms the need for compliance director," Burris said. "Hopefully the Judge will make the appointment soon."

Buying water can be risky.
Several water transfers from north-to-south have taken place over the past decade, usually without major complications.
But about 70,000 acre-feet of water purchased last year is still sitting in Lake Oroville.
The water couldn't be transferred because three of the six power-generating turbines at Oroville Dam were out of commission.
The main buyer was the Kern County Water Agency, with a small percentage also planned for Dudley Ridge Water District in western Kings County. Both supply water for agriculture.
Sellers include farmers in Western Canal Water District, Richvale Irrigation District and Biggs-West Gridley Water District. The growers took land out of production last year.
The price for that water was $200 an acre-foot.
The Department of Water Resources has been working for the past few years to fix the turbines. But the parts are massive and must be designed specially. Also, work on the project needs to be exact.
Curtis Creel works for Kern County Water Agency, and previously worked for the Department of Water Resources.
"Those are huge, complicated machines," said Creel. Because of the massive size, there is no margin of error; even the slightest vibration would not be tolerated, he said.
Plus, the safety of workers means you can't rush the job.
DWR has been actively working on the problems, including bringing in experts from throughout the nation, Creel said, but there aren't that many people specialized in these types of projects.
Pete Scheele, field division chief at Oroville Dam, said work continues on the turbines "as we speak," and the hope is to have repairs done by June.
The window for delivering water is July, August and September.
In addition to the difficulty fixing the turbines, the dam was designed with a water bypass system that was used when the dam was under construction.
These valves are deep in the lake and have been used to release cold water for fish in the past. But those tunnels are also currently blocked, Creel explained.
"It was a perfect storm," he said.
Risks to the grower
Any time there is a water deal negotiated, buyers and sellers each have risk.
Farmers carefully calculate the price of their crop — in most cases rice — and decide if it makes economic sense to transfer water.
One thing that "always gets missed" in discussion about water transfers is that farmers "don't make any more money idling than farming," said Ted Trimble, manager of Western Canal Water District.
"It's trading risk."
If the price of rice spikes, the grower would have made more money farming. If rice earns less income, the farmers who sold water made a good decision, Trimble said.
But crop idling is good for the farm, he said. The grower has time to work on the land — knocking down the weed population, laser-leveling the land and making other improvements, Trimble said.
When fallowing deals are negotiated, they are only on a portion of the land — up to 20 percent — due to rules set by DWR.
Gene Massa, manager of Biggs West-Gridley Irrigation District, said his growers opted in for only about half of that amount last year.
Risks for the buyer
For the water buyer, the risk is often that the water cannot be sent through the San Francisco/San Joaquin Delta due to protection of fish populations.
In wetter years there also might not be enough room in the water delivery system to move extra water.
Also, if there are heavy rains and Lake Oroville needs to release water for flood control, the "extra water" stored in the lake is the first to go over the spillway. If that water was bought for a water transfer, it could be lost.
Those are risks that were already known.
"It really wasn't not on our radar screen" that the pumps at Oroville would be the problem for water transfers last year, Creel said.
Trimble, of Western Canal, said no inquires were made about new water deals for 2013, even though water contractors have had their supplies scaled back significantly. And that's understandable, he said, because farmers in the Central Valley are still waiting for the water they bought last year.
Thomas Filler, chief of water transfers for the Department of Water Resources, said the water now sitting in Lake Oroville should be delivered this summer. Predictions are for very little rain between now and when deliveries are possible beginning in July.

In the dark: a review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-28)
Several recent lines of evidence indicate that the polar night is key to understanding Arctic marine ecosystems. First, the polar night is not a period void of biological activity even though primary production is close to zero, but is rather characterized by a number of processes and interactions yet to be fully understood, including unanticipated high levels of feeding and reproduction in a ...
Is ambient light during the high Arctic polar night sufficient to act as a visual cue for zooplankton?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-03)
The light regime is an ecologically important factor in pelagic habitats, influencing a range of biological processes. However, the availability and importance of light to these processes in high Arctic zooplankton communities during periods of 'complete' darkness (polar night) are poorly studied. Here we characterized the ambient light regime throughout the diel cycle during the high Arctic ...

The Approved DocumentsApproved documents (England) are detailed publications which come under the English Building Regulations. They are based on tried and tested methods of building and if you follow them you are assured of complying with the Regs. The equivalents for Scotland are the Technical Handbook, for Wales: the Approved documents (Wales), and for N.I. the Technical Booklets are 'standard' ways of getting Building RegulationsThese are the mass of regulations that cover safety, health, welfare, convenience, energy efficiency etc. in the way buildings are constructed. Not to be confused with Planning consent (which is more to do with whether you can put up the building in the first place). See more on the regulations approval. There are other ways. see more
If you follow the principles and rules given in the documents you can be sure that they will be approved. Of course you don't have to use the Approved Documents, as the Regulations make clear:
Approved Documents are intended to provide guidance for some of the more common building situations. However, there may well be alternative ways of achieving compliance with the requirements. Thus there is no obligation to adopt any particular solution contained in an Approved Document if you prefer to meet the relevant requirement in some other way.
In fact the Approved Documents are a bit of a mishmash of traditional 'rules of thumb' and technical standards and they have gaping holes in them. Whereas, for instance, there are many pages on how to construct traditional masonry walls, there is nothing about timber frame construction except the odd reference to British standards.
They are also struggling to keep up with the times. If the PassivhausSee more on the Passivhaus standard. The PassivHaus Institute has pioneered a standard for low energy buildings. It includes very low energy usage and ways of achieving this. The word is derived from the idea of buildings which are fundamentally low energy and passive solar heated rather than using extra gadgets to heat them. See Passivhaus for the UK branch of the organisation. Standard or zero energy new house building is introduced at some point then whole swathes of the Approved Documents will need rewriting because many of the constructional principles are based on quite low levels of insulation.
There are other ways of satisfying the regulations. For instance they make copious references to BSBritish Standard, BS EN and BS EN ISO standards which may be another way of fulfilling the criteria. It is even possible in some very rare cases to prove that something works by building it first and then testing it afterwards (though this is not for the faint hearted).
Although a self builder cannot be expected to understand all the building regulations, it often pays to have a grasp of what is involved, especially if last minutes changes need to be made to construction details.

The STS-111
crew will perform three spacewalks, which are also known as extravehicular
activities, to continue the assembly of the International Space
Station. All three extravehicular activities, or EVAs, will be based
out of the station's Quest Airlock.
Astronauts and Suit IDFranklin Chang-Díaz
(EV1): solid red stripes
Philippe Perrin (EV2): solid white suit
Robot Arm OperatorCarl Walz

Start Time: 10:27 a.m. CDT (1527 GMT) June 9, 2002
End Time: 5:41 p.m. CDT (2241 GMT) June 9, 2002
STS-111's first spacewalk, Chang-Díaz
and Perrin attached a Power and Data Grapple Fixture onto the International
Space Station's P6 Truss, setting the stage for the future relocation
of the P6. The next major task was to remove Service Module Debris
Panels from Space Shuttle Endeavour's payload bay and attach them
to their temporary location on Pressurized Mating Adapter 1. The
shields will be installed onto the Zvezda Service Module later by
station crewmembers. Then, the spacewalkers removed thermal blankets
to prepare the Mobile Base System, or MBS, for installation onto
the station's Mobile Transporter. The station's robot arm, Canadarm2,
lifted the MBS out of the payload bay after Chang-Díaz
and Perrin finished. The MBS was attached to the Mobile Transporter
on Flight Day 6.

Start Time: 10:20 a.m. CDT (1520 GMT) June 11, 2002
End Time: 3:20 p.m. CDT (2020 GMT) June 11, 2002
The second
STS-111 spacewalk focused on outfitting and permanently attaching
the MBS to the MT. Chang-Díaz
and Perrin
attached power, data and video cables from the station to the MBS.
Then, they used a power wrench to complete the attachment of the
MBS onto the MT.
7 hours, 17minutes

UnNews:Star Wars Blu-rays will not include unaltered versions; fans pissed
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
19 August 2010
HELLYWOOD, California -- Star Wars mastermind and
rapist desecrator George "Give Me Your Money" Lucas announced Saturday at San Francisco Komik Kon (not to be confused with San Diego Comic Con) that he plans to release the "original" Star Wars trilogy on Blu-ray in late 2011. However, the response was overwhelmingly negative when he noted:
"You purists are gonna hate my filthy stinking guts, but you're not gonna see the unaltered originals in this set. You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally. It's a very, very expensive process to do it. So when we did the transfer to digital, we only transferred really the upgraded version [from 1997].... [it's] kind of an oxymoron because the original is not very good. In fact all three movies sucked dick until I went back in and recut them in 1997 and raped your precious memories. So long, suckers!"
As expected, an army of tens upon thousands upon millions of Star Wars fanatics raised their lightsabers high in the air. They told Lucas they were "mad as hell" and they weren't going to take it anymore. They punished the legendary director of THX-1138 and American Graffiti by freezing him in carbonite.
Said fans started online petitions and have been raising the money necessary to pay for the restorations.
"Star Wars is an American classic," says an angry fan who wished to be known only as James Earl J. "I don't see why Mr. Lucas likes to stroke his meat to ripping off the fans."
Another fan, Harrison F., told UnNews: "George Lucas is being very disrespectful to the fans. He'll probably burn in hell for this, along with Rob Zombie and Joel Schumacher."
The unaltered originals, long out of print, were finally released on DVD for a limited time in 2008... as bonus features, and using only the non-anamorphic LaserDisc masters. Fans have literally been salivating over a possible Blu-ray release of the original originals. But, alas, not luck yet.
Looks like we'll have to wait until Lucas unthaws, releases the current set, and puts more money in his pocket that he doesn't deserve.

Luke Bryan Falls From Stage in North Carolina [Video]
Luke Bryan fell off the stage during his show in Charlotte, N.C. last night (May 29). The 'Play It Again' singer was quick to point out that the state seems to bring him bad luck -- it's his second fall in barely three months! This time he needed stiches.
Bryan and his band were covering the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis song 'Can't Hold Us' when the singer stepped forward, thinking there was more stage to land on. There wasn't. He fell hard into the pit before security rushed to help him up.
"The last time I was in North Carolina, I busted my a**," Bryan says after taking a moment to recover (he managed to finish the song). He's referring to this fall in Greensboro, N.C. on February 17. That one was more of a stumble, compared to this header.
The cut must have come on his leg as he later tweeted, "My socks scream liberty. Go USA."
There's no reason to believe Bryan won't be good to go for a show tonight in Bristow, Va. His next day off is on Monday.

We are all to be God's co-creators; yet it is clear that some creative efforts are so much better paid than others. There are creative people who are starving in many parts of the world. How can we see the work of providence in this?
Yes, we were made to be co-creators with God. God created Adam and Eve and entrusted the earth to their care. After the fall, work became burdensome but humanity was expected to continue to care for the earth and develop it.
However, work can be a joy when we know that we are working with God to develop and improve people's lives on this earth.
It's true but rather strange that "creative" people are often poorly paid. After all, these creative, artistic individuals give beauty and quality to our lives.
They provide some of the most enjoyable moments of life which touch the soul and elevate our minds above life's hardships. They bring us to experience something of the mystical, of God.
Some have reported strong palpitations of the heart and an almost-fainting experience with the beauty of it all. There's even a name for this, the Stendhal syndrome, after the writer who first reported it upon his view of the extraordinary art in the city of Florence.
Just think of the inspiring music we can listen to, the magnificent art and architecture that we travel the world to see, the great books we read and the gripping drama we can witness. Without these, we all would be much poorer, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually.
Creative artists are not the only ones who struggle. Ordinary working people often are underpaid for their work even though it is essential to the functioning of society. Many struggle to provide a decent livelihood for their families.
How do we account for this? Does God favour the few who head big corporations and earn millions while their contemporaries almost starve? God has given humans free will and it is humans who create this inequality.
Obviously, greed and hunger for power are at the root of injustice facilitated in corporations and individuals by the culture of modern society. Those who are given enormous wages or those whose riches are obtained fraudulently live luxurious lifestyles.
It makes one wonder how much greed and power have influenced the present financial crisis in so many countries and the suffering of many.
The Church has long advocated for social justice. Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum intended to address the inhumane conditions created by the Industrial Revolution stressed the need for just wages.
On its 40th anniversary, Pius XI's 1931 encyclical confirmed and elaborated on that of Leo XIII. This was followed 40 years later by Paul VI's apostolic letter on social justice.
Pope John Paul II's encyclical On Human Work appeared on the 90th anniversary of Rerum Novarum. He speaks of our co-creation with God and the need for just wages.
Does Jesus want us to suffer, to be deprived, hungry, lacking decent shelter? Suffering is a part of human condition but in itself it is not a good thing, as shown by Jesus' reaction to the suffering around him. He fed the hungry, healed the sick, he comforted the afflicted, he raised the dead.
He never told anyone they should continue suffering, that it was good for them. On the contrary, he did everything to combat suffering for others, even though he knew that he himself was to endure the greatest suffering and death.
Throughout the Gospels, we hear that God takes care of us even more so than of the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. Jesus said "My Father is still working and I also am working" (John 5.17).
What is God working at? Giving us what we need to better our lives and the world around us and bring us to eternal life. Religious orders of women and men were founded to care for the sick and the needy, as well as raise the level of society by education. There was a realization that all that we do feeds both body and soul. Work is a profound spiritual activity and is closely connected to our spiritual lives.
On a practical level, every one of us needs to work for social justice in whatever our individual circumstances allow, for ourselves and for others. We need to be informed and pray for all those suffering from injustice because of low wages or lack of employment.
