Your stomach is howling, it’s late, maybe BART was delayed or you got out of lab late, but as you make the trek home you realize you have nothing to eat and that the last thing you want to do is cook, so you order some quick take out to grab on the way. We’ve all felt that hunger, that exhaustion, and all made that decision to get something quick to eat to satisfy our stomachs. It’s the hearty home-cooked meal we want to come home to after a long day, not the sad empty fridge or cold leftovers.
Due to labor actions and decreased staffing, some services may be limited on Wednesday, November 13, 2019.

Service Hours by Departments
Appointment Office
Everyone has heard a comment or two, while home for the holidays or back at school after the holidays, of how our appearance has changed so much. Well-intentioned at best, or triggering at worst, a “simple” comment can send some of us running to the other room wondering if we have changed that much, and if that change is good or bad. Body talk is when the emphasis is placed on someone’s appearance, usually their body type/weight.
Let me tell you the best things about fall and winter. Well, besides the fashion inspirations and the cooler weather, fall and winter both resurface seasonal treats and beverages that are not around all year. Some of my favorites include pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin pie, and banana bread. October is probably the month when fall finally begins to feel like fall, and treats are a staple due to Halloween. In a time filled with joy and celebration, you may want to experience such delights and you should! Why do people question what they eat or hesitate to pick up a treat?

As you may be aware, measles has been in the news a lot lately, with an increase in cases globally as well as within the United States, linked to decreased vaccination rates. Measles starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It’s followed by a rash that spreads over the body. Measles can be serious, especially to young children and adults; about 1 in 4 people need to be hospitalized and 1-2 per 1000 may die from complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis (brain infection).

Measles is back in the news — the latest outbreaks of note are in New York state. With this recent spike in cases, the United States has now seen the highest yearly number of infections reported in 2019 than in over two decades (except for 2014). And it is only April.
