Evening, Daytime and Sporty Hairstyles
There are daytime hairstyles and evening hairstyles and even sporty hairstyles. The daytime hairstyles are usually a little bit more informal and sporty hairstyles are definitely informal to the max. We are going to talk about hairstyles that would fit for your fine dining out or to attend a ballet. These are the styles you would wear to a wedding.
If you have
long hair
, the very best and flattering way you can wear your hair is to have a stylish up do. There are so many variations and styles, you could have a lot of fun deciding which is best for you, and it is important to pay attention to the size of your face. For example, if you have a very round face, it wouldnt be wise to wear all of your hair going back, but to break up your frame with an addition of waves, wisps or curls into the cheek area for the appearance of a more slender face. If you have a
small forehead
, then it would be good to wear your top going back.
One of the trends for today with
is to wear the hair half up and half down. Although it is stylish for the simple reason; that everyone else is wearing it, the style in itself does not bring out the very best in the wearer. However, when the whole hair is up in coiled, weaved curls or braids and fans and a few tendrils are hanging loosely around the face and neck, you will discover a more formal look that befits the occasion.
A simple look that is great for any evening hairstyle is the faithful
French twist
. The French twist looks good at work while wearing a suit and accessorized with pearl earrings. This style is quick, modest and classy. A French twist is good at work and elegant in the evenings.
The important thing about going out for the evening is to look like it. Dont be afraid to get all dolled up and this especially includes your hair; as that is what will praise your final appearance. If your hair looks good, you will feel good. If you are wearing a sloppy hairstyle, with a gorgeous evening dress; all anyone will see is the sloppy hairstyle. Your hairstyle is like icing on the cake. It is incomplete until it is placed on there. Wear jewelry that you feel good in and that brings out the best in your face. If you have a large face, wear larger jewelry that will lend the impression of a smaller face. If you have a smaller face, wear small petite jewelry, larger pieces will only overwhelm your tiny face.
If you have a small face and want to
wear your hair in an up do
, it should be a modest up do, so you wont look like all hair. You do not want your hair to take away from your attractiveness, but to be complimentary. Many styles overwhelm the faces and decrease your beauty instead of increasing your main attractions.
If you have short hair and only dream of having an up do, you have the option of adding a hairpiece for your fancy affair. There are several
types of hairpieces
that would meet your need. Some have very small bases that are open webbed for you to mix your own hair into. One of the good things about an open web base piece is that it will allow the scalp on your head to breathe. Yes, to have a healthy scalp; it is vital for your scalp to breathe. Your wig stylist will know by conversing with you; the amount of curls you need and want on your head. This can be the best of both worlds. When you are done for the evening, you simply take your hairpiece off and pin it on your mannequin named Hilda and hide her away in the closet for the night.
Synthetic hair is easier to handle and work with than real hair. With synthetic hair, your curls will stay and not fall. The upkeep is also much more simple than human hair. There are many wig shampoos you can purchase right here on the web. After you rinse thoroughly you simply shake out your hairpiece, you then, hang it up in your shower or clothes line, depending how bold you are. Human hairpieces will fall just like your own hair. You wash, condition, roll and dry and style. There are oblong hair pieces for those who want a cascade of curls in their crown, reaching to their neck. Any hairpiece you can possibly dream of, is for sale today and you really can have it all.
You might be wondering what the perfect everyday look might be. A simple style should be something that you arent going to worry about. Todays
busy woman
wants to look good all of the time with a minimum amount of work involved. If you are running out of the house taking the children to school and find, you havent had time to comb your hair and you want to look good when you run into your friends. Take into consideration of the texture of your hair before getting your new style. If you have thick, naturally curly hair; the sky is the limit. You can have just about any style available in the book, providing you have the face and figure to wear them.
If you tend to have a
hefty blocky build
, keeping your hair longer will only increase the look of this heftiness. Not to despair, you do not have to cut all your hair off. Think of something that barely touches the shoulders and in layers. That might be a good look for you and easy to work with too. What if you have thick, straight hair and are looking for an everyday style. How about a bob with about the same length as stated above? Ask yourself if you still want your long hair? If so, can you dash out of the house and still look good without combing it? My guess is that, you can if it is twirled up and clasped with a comb, and that is fine for jogging.
When it comes to having a different hairstyle, you have to ask yourself how individualistic you really want to be. Take a mental survey of all the friends you know and how they are wearing their hair. What makes them unique? Do their styles seem to fit them and their lifestyles? How often do they change their hairstyles? Or, are you seeing many who are still wearing their hair the same way as they did when they were in High School? Are you any different?

Vital information, despite of being an important public health instrument for planning and evaluation, in most of the developing countries have still low quality and coverage. Brazil has recently implemented the Family Health Program (PSF), one of the largest comprehensive primary health care programs in the world, which demonstrated effectiveness on the reduction of infant mortality. In the present study we evaluate the impact of the PSF on mortality rates related to the quality of vital information: the under-five mortality rate due to ill-defined causes and unattended death.
Data on mortality rates and PSF coverage was obtained for the total 5,507 Brazilian municipalities from 2000 to 2006. A multivariate regression analysis of panel data was carried out with a negative binomial response by using fixed effects models that control for relevant covariates.
A statistically significant negative association was observed between PSF coverage levels, classified in none (0%, the reference category), low (<30.0%), intermediate (≥ 30.0% and <70.0%) and high (≥ 70.0%), and all analysed mortalities rates, with a reduction of 17% (Rate Ratio [RR]: 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.79 - 0.88), 35% (RR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.61-0.68) and 50% (RR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.47-0.53) on under-five mortality due to ill-defined causes, respectively. In the mortality rate for unattended death the reduction was even greater, reaching 60% (RR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.37-0.44) in the municipalities with the highest PSF coverage. The PSF effect on unattended deaths was slightly stronger in municipalities with a higher human development index.
The PSF, a primary health care program developed mostly in rural and deprived areas, had an important role on reducing the unattended deaths and improving the quality of vital information in Brazil.
Vital statistics are essential instruments for planning and evaluation of public health policies. Despite the fact that in the past sixty years many efforts have been made by national and international institutions to improve the quality and availability of vital statistics, they are still, especially in the developing countries, in a deplorable state[1]. A cause of death is assigned for no more than one third of the total deaths worldwide, and there is often considerable uncertainty about the diagnosis. The inequalities in registration of vital events are large: developing countries account for 99% of all the unregistered births, concentrated mainly in southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa[2]. Epidemiological estimates, obtained by extrapolation from household surveys, are currently used in various countries to understand the probable values of key health indicators, including vital information[3]. Despite their utility, they should not be considered as substitutes of reliable civil registration data.
Various methods have been developed for the assessment of a country health information system, and, in terms of the quality of death information, one of the most used criteria is the proportion of deaths classified into ill-defined categories [4].
In Brazil, the Ministry of Health created in 1976 the Mortality Information System (SIM - acronym in Portuguese), based on the official death certificates[5]. Over the last two decades the coverage and the quality of the mortality data has improved substantially, but due to the incompleteness of the vital registration systems in the less developed regions, it is still not possible to estimate the mortality rates directly. However recent analyses indicate that almost 80% of the Brazilian population lives in areas with satisfactory levels of death information[6].
In 1994 the Minister of Health adopted the Family Health Program (PSF - acronym in Portuguese) as strategy to convert the model of care toward the primary health care and increase the National Health System coverage, especially for deprived areas (such as rural communities and urban slums)[7]. In this period the PSF has experienced a dramatic expansion, and by the end of 2008 it was present in 94% of the Brazilian municipalities, with coverage of almost 50% of the total national population[8]. The PSF organization is strongly decentralized and is managed, following national regulations, at the municipality level. The program operates through multiprofessional teams (ESF - acronym in Portuguese). Each ESF, which is at the minimum composed by a physician, a graduated nurse, an auxiliary nurse and 4 to 6 community health workers (CHW), attends to an established geographic area of about 3,450 people [7].
The PSF created in 1998 its own information system (SIAB - acronym in Portuguese), which collects data about hygiene, housing conditions, health situation and vital information of the families under the responsibility of the ESF[9].
Despite the fact that the PSF, and consequently the SIAB, has a wide national coverage, few local studies have analyzed the improvement of the vital statistics in municipalities which adopted this program[10,11].
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of the PSF on the under-five mortality due to ill-defined causes, in the Brazilian municipalities from the year 2000 to 2006, decomposing its effect on unattended deaths and remaining ill-defined categories.
This is an ecological study, adopting the municipalities (counties) as unit of analysis. We used a panel data or longitudinal data model, creating a panel dataset from several databases for the years 2000 until 2006.
We used the data of the total 5,507 Brazilian municipalities during the 7-year period.
All the mortality rates (ill-defined causes of death, unattended death and remaining ill-defined causes of death) were obtained by direct calculation, using the Brazilian death certificates database for each year of the study, selecting the deaths per age and/or cause and combine them per municipality. For selected causes we used the following WHO International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) categories [12]: Ill-defined causes of death (chapter XVIII, R00-R99), unattended death (R98) and remaining ill-defined categories (ill-defined causes of death without unattended deaths, R00-R97, R99). The yearly coverage of the PSF was calculated as the ratio of the population covered by the program to the total population of the same municipality, and it was classified in 4 different categories: without PSF, low coverage (less than 30.0% of population), intermediate coverage (from 30.0% to 69.9%), and high coverage (greater than or equal to 70.0%).
We selected a set of variables (available in the source datasets) identified as determinants of the quality of vital information and as socioeconomic characteristics of the municipalities, using them as covariates for the different models: total fertility rate (stratified as ≤ 2.42 and >2.42 children per childbearing-age woman, median of the distribution), per capita income (in Brazilian real [BR$], stratified as ≤ BR$ 120 and >BR$ 120, the national poverty threshold), population (stratified as ≤ 50,000 and >50,000 inhabitants, a common cutoff value for municipality dimension) and percentage of illiterates among individuals older than 15 years (stratified as ≤ 15.4% and >15.4%, median of the distribution).
Data Sources
The data used in this study were collected from different information systems. We obtained the vital statistics, made available by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, from the Mortality Information System (SIM) and Information System on Lives Births (SINASC)[13]. For the population covered by the PSF in each municipality we used the Primary Care Information System (SIAB). For the socioeconomic and demographic variables we used the data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE)[14] and from the Human Development Atlas of the United Nation Development Program[15]. Since these covariates were obtained from the 1991 and 2000 national censuses databases, the annual values from 2001 to 2006 were calculated by linear extrapolation,[16] with the exception of the population (IBGE projection).
Statistical analysis
For this study we used a multivariable negative binomial regression for panel data with fixed effects specification. A model for each different mortality rate category, which represents the dependent variable, was fitted using the PSF coverage as main independent variable and a set of demographic, social and economic determinants as covariates.
Negative binomial regression is used when the outcome to be analyzed is counting and the Poisson model assumption that the mean is equal to variance is not met, usually because the data present a greater dispersion[17]. Panel data models introduce two different terms to control first for unobserved time-invariant characteristics of each panel, and second for the time-varying characteristics of the panels according to the year. The choice between the fixed and random effects models is based on the method in which the sample is drawn and on a specification test, the Hausman tests[18]. According to these criteria, the more appropriate specification for all the models was the fixed effect.
To evaluate the association between specific mortality rates and the PSF coverage levels, we calculated the mortality rate ratios, both crude and adjusted for the covariates, using the municipalities without PSF as reference category.
The number of observations varied in different models due to the presence of municipalities with zero specific deaths count for the all 7-year period. For statistical reasons, linked to the computation of the fixed effect models, [19] these municipalities were not included in the model fitting.
The municipalities were successively stratified by the human development index (HDI), which is composed of measures of life expectancy, education and standard of living (≤ 0.713 and >0.713; 0.713 was the Brazilian median for the year 2000).
No ethics committee approval was needed for our study, being the data used in this research obtained from a public-use data set.
For the statistical analysis and database processing we used the software Stata version 10.1.
In the period from 2000 to 2006, in Brazil, the under-five mortality rate decreased from 24.7 to 19.3 per 1000 live births (Table 1). The mortality rate due to ill-defined causes, which represented the 12.9% of the total under-five mortality in 2000, decreased considerably (from 3.2 per 1000 live births in 2000 to 1.0 in 2006). The mortality rate for unattended death, which constituted the 8.4% of the total under-five deaths and the 64.9% of the deaths for ill-defined causes in 2000, reduced considerably, decreasing from 2.1 to 0.4 per 1000 live births.
Table 1. Mortality rates per 1000 live births (MR) and under-five death proportion (%) for causes groups: Brazil, 2000-2006.
PSF coverage rapidly increased during the period (Table 2): the number of municipality without PSF decreased from 2,843 in 2000 to 367 in 2006, and these with coverage more than or equal to 70% increased from 851 to 3,432.
Table 2. Independent variables medians for the analyzed municipalities (5507): Brazil, 2000-2006.
Socioeconomic conditions improved nationally: there were reductions in the total fertility rate and in the percentage of illiterate persons aged 15 years or more, while increases were observed in the monthly per capita income.
Table 3 shows the effect of the PSF coverage levels on the mortality rate ratios, crude and adjusted for the covariates. In the adjusted model for the ill-defined mortality rate ratio, reductions of 17%, 35% and 50% (all statistically significant) were found for the low, intermediate and high level of coverage, respectively.
Table 3. Fixed-Effect Negative Binomial Models for the crude and adjusted association between specific under-five mortality groups and PSF coverage: Brazil, 2000-2006.
The PSF effect was greater in the mortality for unattended death, percentage reductions were 26%, 43% and 60%, respectively, for increasing levels of coverage. We observed the smallest effect in the mortality for the remaining ill-defined causes, reaching a maximum reduction of 26%.
Table 4 shows the effect of the PSF coverage levels on the mortality rate ratios for the municipalities stratified by the human development index. The less developed municipalities (with the lower HDI) had a higher percentage of under-five unattended deaths and deaths for ill-defined causes in the period of 2000-2006 (12.7% and 17.3% respectively) in comparison with the more developed municipalities (1.3% and 4.8%). The reduction in the mortality rate for unattended death was slightly higher in the municipalities with better HDI, reaching a maximum of 64% for the high level of coverage. The PSF effect on the mortality for the remaining ill-defined causes of death was similar in the two subsets of municipalities.

Our study demonstrates that the PSF succeeds in improving the quality of information on the causes of death and to reduce the number of unattended deaths in the Brazilian municipalities in the years 2000 to 2006.
Brazil has been considered, according to a recent international assessment, among the countries with a medium level of quality on death information [20]. This was due to the insufficient level of completeness and to the relatively high proportion of deaths due to ill-defined causes, in particular in the North and Northeast regions of the country[21]. Indeed, in municipalities of these regions, situations of extreme poverty are quite common, and many children die at home without any medical assistance, being buried in the household backyards or in unofficial cemeteries[22].
The main current flaws of the SIM on child death registration are: occurrence of deaths without completion of the death certificate, absence of strategies for identification and certification of household deaths, incorrect classification of fetal and neonatal deaths, completion of the certificates by non-doctors and problems with the codification and flow of the mortality data[6].
Our results confirm suggestions from previous local studies that the implementation of the PSF in a municipality could improve the coverage and quality of the vital information [6,10,11,22]. In many rural municipalities the SIAB has a higher coverage than the SIM, because the CHW during its routine activities succeeds in collecting vital information in the community more efficiently that the traditional mortality information system[23]. The community health workers, as other health professionals, can compile a birth certificate (contributing in this way to improve the coverage of the SINASC) [24], but they are not allowed to complete a death certificate, which is the physician's prerogative[25]. However, the CHW could encourage the community to declare births or deaths to public notary offices and in some cases they can complete their own death notifications, without detailing the cause of death, in order to improve the coverage of the mortality data[23]. In various Brazilian states projects of integration of the SIAB, SIM and SINASC have been implemented with positive results, especially in the Northeast region[26].
The strong effect of the PSF on the reduction of the unattended deaths is of particular relevance, considering that the unattended deaths constitute the major part of the mortality for ill-defined causes and that they had a dramatic reduction between the year 2000 and 2006.
An unattended death is a "death in circumstances where the body of the deceased was found and no cause could be discovered",[12] this cause is usually unknown because of lack of medical care at death or during the illness or condition leading to death[27]. This kind of death notification implies a great distance between the community and the heath system, that can be geographical or even socio-cultural. Especially in less developed countries, the proportion of unattended deaths (and of the others ill-defined categories) can be considered as an indicator of the access to medical care,[27,28] and should be one of the first to be reduced by effective primary health care programs.
Indeed, the active home visits of the community health workers, and in some cases of the physicians, [29] could determine the serious health conditions of a child, and guarantee immediate medical assistance or a transfer to hospital. This implies not only an improvement on the quality of cause of death notification (in the case of subsequent child death), but hopefully the possibility to avoid this death, considering that the majority of those domiciliary deaths are for easy preventable causes, as diarrhoeal diseases[10].
As a matter of fact, recent studies demonstrate that the PSF succeeds in reducing the infant and child mortality, especially for vulnerable causes (like diarrhea) [30,31].
The difference of the PSF effect on reducing the unattended deaths, in comparison with the remaining ill-defined causes of death, could be explained by the fact that the last ones are more difficult to reduce, depending more on the current medical knowledge, diagnostic errors, deficiencies in certification, coding and information processing problems[27]. However, the proximity of the PSF team, in particular of the CHW, with the community, and the fact that the SIAB records the health history of each individual of its respective area, could facilitate a proper identification of the basic cause of death[32].
The slightly lower effect of the PSF on reducing the unattended deaths in the less developed municipalities, which host the greater part of the Brazilian unattended deaths, could be explained by the fact that these areas are mostly rural, with difficult geographical access and socio-cultural barriers, diminishing the effectiveness of the PSF actions. Additionally the community health agents could promote the declaration of the numerous hidden domiciliary deaths, therefore increasing the number of unattended deaths.
The lower impact of the PSF on specific causes of mortality in less developed municipalities does not necessarily contradict the demonstrated PSF effect on reduction of health inequalities [31]. As a matter of fact poor counties have usually highter proportional mortality for preventable causes, as diarreia or unattended death, on which PSF has a stronger effect, [32] and even if the effect on these specific causes is lower than in the richer areas, the resulting global impact on infant mortality is greater.
The similar PSF effect on the mortality due to the remaining ill-defined categories in the two subsets of municipalities confirms the differences between these categories and the unattended deaths.
The main limitation of this study is the use of all the Brazilian municipalities without any selection for the coverage of the vital information. As a matter of fact the validity of the distribution by causes is affected by the under-registration of deaths. There is a complex relationship between the increase in the coverage of death notification, as occurred in Brazil in the last years, and the possible correspondent variation of the vital information quality, determining in some cases an increase in the proportion of ill-defined causes, and in others a decrease[27,33]. To demonstrate the robustness of our results, we performed an additional analysis in a subset of municipalities selected for the adequacy of vital information (both in terms of coverage and quality of vital information), obtaining similar estimates of the PSF effect in the reduction of unattended deaths and deaths for ill-defined causes.
As explained in the methods section, in the models the number of observations varies according to the mortality rate for a fixed effect computation reason.
Comparing the municipality excluded with the included, we found slightly different socioeconomic characteristics. We performed a sensitivity analysis of the same models using random effects which calculate the parameters considering all observations, and we obtained estimates similar to the fixed effects models.
To verify that the high variability of the mortality rates during the years in the small municipalities could not affect the validity of our results, we fitted the same models in the subset of municipalities with less than 50,000 inhabitants, obtaining very similar estimates.
The use of extrapolation techniques to estimate the annual value of some covariates could represent another limitation of the study. As a matter of fact the only measured values of these variables were from the census for 1991 and 2000, and the values from 2001 to 2006 have been obtained by extrapolation. Possible bias introduced by the use of the crude extrapolation instead of more complex estimations techniques are limited by the categorization of the variables that could smooth sharp fluctuations artificially introduced by the method. Moreover, comparisons of the values of the covariates, obtained by extrapolation at the state level, with the values of the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), which provide yearly estimates of these variables for each Brazilian state, [34] demonstrated great similarities.
A time-representing variable was not included in the model because the use of mortality rate ratios with a comparison group (municipalities without PSF) allowed for control of unknown effects linked to mortality time trends[31].
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the PSF on the improvement of the vital information quality and on the reduction of unattended deaths. These findings could be explained by the PSF capability to obtain factual information about the health situation of the community and by its prerogative of increasing the population access to medical care. The impressive PSF effect on reducing the number of unattended deaths demonstrates the effectiveness of its approach on closing the gap between the less-developed, rural communities and the national health system. Moreover the PSF ability to reduce the proportion of remaining ill-defined causes of death point out the need for an effective integration of the SIAB, SIM and SINASC information systems.
Nowadays the improvement of the quality and coverage of the vital information systems is a worldwide concern. There is a growing demand for evidence in terms of impact of health and social policies, and these evidences need to be built on reliable birth and death data[35].
One of the most important global health and development initiatives in recent years, the Millennium Development Goals, grounds six of its eight targets on reliable vital statistics[36]. The maintenance and improvement of the infrastructure for vital information systems involve different partners of various sectors, and require supportive advocacy, public trust, legal frameworks and adequate human and financial resources[37]. As suggested in this article, primary health care programs could be integrated with vital information systems and contribute to their progress.

Tico Torres Faces More Surgery
Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres is facing more surgery.
Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres is facing more surgery.
Over the past couple of years, plenty of fans have launched online campaigns to have their favorite celebrity escort them to their prom, or their military ball, or to a similar event. But one woman in Australia wants something truly unique from her favorite singer, Jon Bon Jovi: she wants him to walk her down the aisle at her wedding next month.
Jesse Bongiovi, son of Jersey's-own Jon Bon Jovi is now playing for "The Fighting Irish" as a walk-on cornerback for Notre Dame.
Richie Sambora can't quit Bon Jovi's "Because We Can" tour because he's been fired.
Many Bon Jovi fans were disappointed to not see Richie Sambora at the band's two MetLife Stadium shows last week. Conflicting stories as to why there has been a fallout between Jon and Richie have been making their rounds, and now a new Ritchie Sambora single seems to jab Jon Bon.
Bon Jovi performed its second of two concerts at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands on Saturday night.
Bon Jovi debuted a new stage set for Thursday night's concert at MetLife Stadium but Richie Sambora was no where to be found.
Will guitarist Richie Sambora return to Bon Jovi in front of a hometown crowd at MetLife Stadium tonight?
Bon Jovi has changed the date of one of their July shows at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands while updating Richie Sambora's status with the band.
It looks like we've found Richie Sambora's replacement for the upcoming Bon Jovi tour!
The real reason Richie Sambora has left Bon Jovi's tour could be somewhere between the stated "personal issues" and reports of a feud between Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi.

Protect Artists Not Piracy
A Congressional Subcommittee is currently reviewing copyright legislation and will begin recommending changes to existing laws later this year.
It is the first time since 1976 that a comprehensive review of all copyright legislation has been conducted by a Congressional Subcommittee and a rare opportunity for creatives to be heard and have an impact on future legislation that directly effects their lives.
Take Down and Stay Down
Internet piracy continues to be a serious problem, eliminating hundreds-of-thousands of jobs and draining over a hundred billion dollars from our economy over the past fifteen years.
Since 1999 infringing websites have been abusing the Safe Harbor protection provided in Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to avoid prosecution and make available the work of copyright holders without their permission or compensation. Today, under Section 512, infringing websites can simply comply with take down notices by removing the link to the content listed in the notice then simply repost the same content using a different url and not be in violation of copyright law.
Last year alone, over 345 million take down notices were filed with little or no impact on the amount of infringing content readily available on the Internet. Section 512 was never intended to have this unwanted consequence.
The legislation was enacted the year before Napster opened the door to free file sharing which quickly mushroomed into a global epidemic of internet piracy.
We propose petitioning Congress to revise the existing legislation to incorporate a stay down provision in Section 512 of the DCMA. Failure to comply with take down and stay down notifications will place the owners and operators of infringing websites in violation of the law.
Artists not only owe it to themselves, but future generations of creators to support changes to our existing Take Down provision.

For us in the Christian world, we are about to begin Holy Week wherein we remember events in the life of Jesus Christ that gave us access to heaven again. With the joyful entrance into Jerusalem, amid loud "Hosannas" while waving palm branches to the Thursday night Mass of the Lord's Last Supper, to the agony in the garden, the trial, the crucifixion, His death, burial and then the resurrection, Jesus has conquered death not only for Himself but for "everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in Him." (John 6:40). This is a week of remembering the Divine Mercy of God that "sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world but that the world might be saved". (John 3: 17) Mercy is the theme.
"He (Jesus) has come for us when we recognize that we are sinners" preached the newly elected Pope Francis last Sunday. And the Pope continued, "Mercy is the Lord's most powerful message. If we are like the Pharisee before the altar (who said), 'Thank you Lord for not making me like that fellow at the door, like that publican "»' well, then we do not know the heart of the Lord, and we shall not ever have the joy of feeling His mercy"» It is not easy to entrust oneself to the mercy of God, because (His mercy) is an unfathomable abyss - but we must do it. God has the ability to forget [which is] special: He forgets our sins, He kisses you, He embraces you and He says to you, 'Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on, sin no more.' Only that counsel does He give you"» We ask for the grace of never tiring of asking pardon, for He never tires of pardoning."
The tradition, at least among Catholics, is to spend a great deal of time in our churches this week attending the solemn Palm Sunday Procession and Mass, the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Last Supper, the Good Friday Service at 3 p.m. and one of the Easter Sunday's Masses, be it the Vigil on Holy Saturday or one during the day Easter Sunday. And I certainly encourage all Christians to attend whatever services are being offered in your own faith traditions to keep this week holy.
But there is another thing I would suggest we do during this week of Divine Mercy being remembered and poured out upon us. Think of the person whom you like the least right now, the person that you would like punished for his or her wrongdoing. Then, give that person to Jesus. If forgiveness and forgetfulness of the hurt can't come now, just give that person to Jesus. Let Jesus deal with him or her. Because the longer we carry the burden of that person who has hurt us, the longer we stay in pain. Give him or her to Jesus, saying in the beautiful words of St. Ignatius, "Take Lord, receive (this person)"» Give me (in turn) only your love and your grace, that's enough for me." Let's surrender the object of our pain to the Lord and in turn ask Him to fill that void with Himself, who is life.
That, my good readers, would definitely make this week holy and would give us a taste of the freedom that is ours through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We look forward to Fr. Madden's and Brother Benny's reflections on Good Friday next week. God bless, and may we all have a blessed holy week.
Happy Easter!

Agent: Reyes should be ready for spring
Updated: October 1, 2009, 7:49 PM ETBy Andrew Marchand | Special to ESPN.com
Jose Reyes' latest injury setback devastated him to the point he was "practically in tears," but the initial diagnosis is that the tear in his hamstring will not cost the shortstop any time next season, his agent said.
Reyes, who has been out of the Mets' lineup since May with an assortment of leg injuries, is expected to have surgery on the hamstring tear.
"He is going to be good for next year," Reyes' agent, Peter Greenberg, told 1050 ESPN New York. "I don't think that is a question."

South Africa faces strike wave as labour strife widens
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 22 (Reuters) – South Africa faced a strike
wave across leading sectors of the economy on Thursday and the
labour unrest threatened to hit its struggling gold industry,
already squeezed by rising costs and falling bullion prices.
Despite appeals from President Jacob Zuma and other
government leaders for peaceful wage negotiations in Africa's
largest economy, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said
its members in the construction sector would down tools from
South Africa's Gold Fields expands abroad after Q2 loss
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 22 (Reuters) – Hit by lower gold prices
and rising costs at home, South Africa's Gold Fields
reported a second-quarter loss on Thursday and said it was
expanding abroad with a $300 million deal to buy three
Australian mines from top producer Barrick Gold.
The company said it lost $129 million in the three months to
the end of June compared with a net profit of $27 million in the
previous quarter and $105 million in the same quarter last year.
This made for a net attributable loss of 18 U.S. cents per
share, compared to net earnings of 4 cents per share in the
previous quarter.
South African labor unrest spreads, gold, construction strikes loom
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South Africa's labor unrest widened on Thursday as tens of thousands of construction workers prepared to down tools next week and unions in the gold sector also signaled their intention to call a strike over wages.
The escalating industrial action spelled more trouble for Africa's largest economy, which was hit last year by a wave of violent wildcat strikes in the mining sector that cost billions of dollars in lost output, dented growth, and triggered damaging sovereign credit downgrades.
South Africa's main mine union to take strike vote in gold sector
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 21 (Reuters) – South Africa's National
Union of Mineworkers said on Wednesday it would ballot its
members this week on whether to go on strike after gold miners'
wage talks stalled, raising the prospect of crippling stoppages
in an industry in terminal decline.
"We will go and consult with our members and put it to a
vote. We are going to strike, there is no question about it, I
just can't say when," NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka told Reuters.
South Africa gold wage talks stuck, strike risk rises
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 21 (Reuters) – Six weeks of wage talks
between South African gold producers and unions have failed to
bridge the chasm between their positions, increasing the
prospect of crippling strikes in a declining industry battling
low prices and soaring costs.
Gold mine stoppages would inflict more damage on Africa's
largest economy, which is already losing $60 million a day to a
strike by 30,000 workers in the car manufacturing sector that
accounts for 6 percent of gross domestic product.
Amplats to cut 7,000 South African jobs, union 'shocked'
JOHANNESBURG, Aug 19 (Reuters) – Anglo American Platinum
(Amplats) said it planned almost 7,000 job cuts at its South
African operations including thousands of compulsory lay-offs,
drawing an angry response from a labour union and raising the
risk of renewed unrest at its mines.
Amplats, the world's top platinum producer and a
unit of Anglo American, had aimed for 14,000 job cuts
after posting its first loss last year, but lowered the target
after a backlash from the government and the unions, which
organised a series of strikes.
South African miners demand leap to "living wage"
JOHANNESBURG, July 10 (Reuters) – "A living wage" is the
battle cry of South Africa's Association of Mineworkers and
Construction Union (AMCU) as it and rival unions plunge into pay
talks this month with mining houses.
But what is a living wage for a South African miner?
Finding a definition, no easy task, has become the goal of
an increasingly militant labour force demanding pay increases
ranging from 15 to 150 percent, which mining companies can ill
afford as precious metals prices tumble and costs surge.
Price-cost pinch dulls last lustre of South Africa's gold
KROMDRAAI/JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) – A hand drill lying in the hillside tunnel of a 19th-century South African gold mine testifies to the back-breaking labour by black miners that built what was once the world's biggest bullion industry.
But even with basic tools and cheap labour, costs overran returns at the Kromdraai gold mine north of Johannesburg, which listed in London in 1893 and closed in 1914.

Can Obama's Africa Power plan hold a candle to China?
JOHANNESBURG, July 2 (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack
Obama's $7 billion plan to shine "light where currently there's
darkness" in Africa by doubling access to power on the world's
poorest continent was billed as a highlight of his African tour.
He announced the Power Africa initiative in Cape Town on
Sunday in a speech which he also urged the fast-growing but
still troubled region to follow the shining example of South
Africa's anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela.

Photos: College football Week 1: Games you need to know
Photo: MICHAEL AINSWORTH/Staff Photographer
Southern Methodist at Texas A&M (Sunday, Sept. 4 at 6:30 (CST) in College Station, TX -- can
be viewed on FSN) >>>>>
If the Baylor-TCU game isn't the top matchup of local interest in Week 1, this certainly is.
The game boasts two in-state teams coming off 2010 bowl appearances and carrying relatively
lofty expectations coming into this season. A&M returns arguably the Big 12's top backfield
(Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael) and top wide receiver (Jeff Fuller -- pictured) while SMU
expects to compete for a Conference USA title thanks to an explosive offense of their own.
The game should be a great finale to an exciting slate of college football that will stretch
four days.

General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, recently announced it was making the iconic cereal brand GMO-free. Naturally, an announcement like this creates questions in the minds of consumers, and Best Food Facts is here to help consumers understand just what this change means to their families.
Make 2014 a year of resolving to keeping your food safe, healthy and delicious.
As the year winds down, we'd like to thank all of our readers for taking time to ask questions about food. We appreciate being a trusted source of reliable information! We'd also like to thank all the food system experts we work with for providing their thoughts and expertise throughout the year.
Acrylamide continues to be a trending topic in many news outlets. And though you may have read an article or two on the topic, you might still find yourself wondering what acrylamide is and whether you should be concerned. We had similar questions, so we did some research.
Experts say a new study confirms aspartame is safe in food and beverages – but how is the newest research different from previous studies?
With the holidays come celebrations where food is the main event. But don't forget the drinks - especially egg nog! One Best Food Facts reader noticed a lot of egg nog recipes that call for raw eggs and wanted to know whether this is safe. We contacted Washington University's Director of University Nutrition, Connie Diekman, to find out.
Confusion about food expiration dates can inadvertently cause unnecessary food waste or food safety issues; so we've compiled the definitions of some of the most common food expiration labels, according to the USDA. Tape the list on your refrigerator or cabinet for quick reference. A quick glance could benefit both your wallet and your health.
Looking for ways to eliminate food waste and increase food safety? Check out this handy Expiration Date graphic!
Many moms and dads will check their child's Halloween candy to be sure it's safe to eat. But how long will that candy last? Best Food Facts reached out to Fadi Aramouni, PhD, professor of food science, Kansas State University, about the shelf life of candy and guidance on how much candy we should really eat.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader comment asking which brands of milk contain growth hormones. To answer this question, we reached out to Dr. Ann Macrina, Research/Teaching Associate at Penn State University. Dr. Macrina previously answered questions about hormones in milk.
The U.S Department of Agriculture recently issued a public health alert, saying it has linked some raw chicken products produced in California to a salmonella outbreak. We went to Dr. Scott Hurd, DVM, Associate Professor and Director of the Food Risk Modeling and Policy Lab at Iowa State University and a former USDA Deputy Undersecretary, for insight.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reminds consumers of the critical importance of following package cooking instructions for frozen or fresh chicken products and general food safety guidelines when handling and preparing any raw meat or poultry. All poultry products should be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165° F as determined by a food thermometer. Using a food thermometer is the only way to know that food has reached a high enough temperature to destroy foodborne bacteria.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question about the Paleo diet - what is it, and is it safe? We asked Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, about the diet and if it is safe for otherwise healthy adults.
A simple rule of thumb for keeping food safe is to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. But what about school lunches in backpacks and lockers? Registered Dietitian and nutrition expert, Carolyn O'Neil, provides clarity on ensuring school lunch bags don't become hot spots for bacteria.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question asking, "Is tilapia safe to eat? I've heard that it's often farm raised in countries where there are no guidelines, and they are essentially raised in waste and pumped full of antibiotics."
