E-thanks? No, thanks!
Original post made by Writer's cramp on Oct 17, 2007
This is just one of several "Dear Guest, thanks for the great present" group e-thanks I've gotten in the past few months.
We're all busy people, and it's a pain write out 30 thank you notes after you invite your child's entire preschool class to the party, but it is the gracious thing to do. Typing out a few lines and hitting the "send to group" button just isn't the same. I'd even be OK with an e-mailed thank you note, if it was an actual personal note.
Am I hopelessly stodgy or is anyone else mildly horrified by this?

This is wrong on so many levels. Vying for the top reasons are:
1. The parent is not using the opportunity to teach his/her child the real value of a gift -- in the context of the generosity of spirit in which it is given. (The cynic may dismiss this as an idealistic interpretation of the motives for gift-giving, but that's a different issue. A kid shouldn't be poisoned by such cynicism.)
2. The child is taught that he/she is entitled to any and all gifts given, with no need to say thanks and to acknowledge the gift-giver(and if a kid doesn't learn otherwise at an early age, he's never going to learn that the sun doesn't revolve around him).
3. The ritual of gift-giving and receiving -- which can be a very rich and enriching experience -- is further diminished. That seems to be the fate of this potentially meaningful ritual in our increasingly materialistic and spiritually deadened culture.
What a sad trend this is.

From the original post:
"Am I hopelessly stodgy or is anyone else mildly horrified by this?"
If you truly are "horrified" by this, mildly or otherwise, you need to spend a week or two in, say, Baghdad, to gain a little perspective. Honestly, of all the things to stew and vent publicly over, I can think of nothing of less consequence than gift etiquette for preshcool-age birthday parties.
And while on the subject, parents who host these large parties (my wife and I are among them) should request that no gifts be given to their child, and should offer no "party" gifts in return. This exchange of what generally amounts to a pile of cheap plastic crap benefits no one at the party, far as I can tell, and only bolsters the child's sense of entitlement and diminishes the gift-giving experience, especially when the gifts are opened after the party ends and the givers have long since left, which is generally what happens. Sure, there are those well-meaning parents who suggest a book exchange or that money be donated to a favorite charity in lieu of a gift, but I'm betting that benefits the parent more than the three-year-old, who just wants to eat cake and play with friends.
And handwritten, addressed, stamped, and mailed thank you notes for everyone who attended?! How many nannies do you have?
P.S. How's that for stodgy?

Writer's Cramp:
"Am I hopelessly stodgy or is anyone else mildly horrified by this?"
You are not alone. Having children write their thank you cards builds their character as it displays appreciation, humbleness and gratitude. I think the mass email from the parent is not only kind of rude, it actually hurts the birthday child to a degree.
I'm with you. Hopefully that incident is the exception and not the rule.

Each year, the Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) partners with local and national organizations in an effort to help spread awareness of cancer, associated treatments, and resources available in our communities.
Summer 2014 is no different. We've signed on to take part in more events than ever before—and we want you to join us! As an active patient, survivor, family member, friend or advocate, your voice and participation matter.
American Cancer Society Relay for Life
These overnight community fundraising walks help raise money to fund cancer research, education, and support services like Hope Lodge®, Road to Recovery®, Look Good, Feel Better®, and Reach to Recovery®, all American Cancer Society-run programs. The Swedish Cancer Institute patients gain access to these programs throughout the Swedish network. There are several Relay for Life events going on in the Puget Sound. The Swedish Cancer Institute is taking part in:
Summer 2014 Cancer Community Walks & Runs
Each year, the Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) partners with local and national organizations in an effort to help spread awareness of cancer, associated treatments, and resources available in our communities.
Style '14 Fashion Show Benefit
More than 30 breast cancer survivors will be modeling spring looks from several Seattle boutiques. Proceeds from this event benefit the Northwest Hope & Healing's Patience Assistance Fund at the Swedish Cancer Institute, which helps provide everyday basics such as groceries, childcare and emergency rent for women battling breast cancer.
Northwest Hope & Healing has been supporting Swedish Cancer Institute patients since early 2000 and is deeply rooted in our community. We are proud to support this event and hope to see many of you there!
Education programs after cancer
In these eight-week groups you will have the opportunity to:
- Make peace with the impact of cancer treatment
- Reduce the stress cancer places on relationships
- Overcome the fear of recurrence
- Renew hope and increase resilience
Resolve to give the gift of comfort and warmth all year long
The holiday season is the perfect time to give back to the ones we love, our community, and those who have yet to enter our lives. For many of us, small, simple acts of kindness are easiest to introduce in our efforts to give back, especially when we are busy getting back to work or school in the new year. Thankfully, giving back doesn't mean you have to give up a huge amount of your time!
One unique way to make a huge impact in our community is by using your hands, heart, and brain, together—to knit! The Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) has been lucky enough to have the support of community members near and far who have donated thousands of knitted hats for patients undergoing cancer treatment. These donations come at prime time during the holiday season but act as gifts all year long!
During chemotherapy, many patients experience hair loss. With the loss of hair, many patients experience low self-confidence, heightened sensitivity to fabric and weather conditions, and limited flexible income to purchase headwear.
With the support from our patients, caregivers and community, the SCI has been able to provide free knitted hats to patients undergoing treatment for over nine years. Knitting hats is fast, and provides both literal and figurative warmth directly to patients at a time when they may feel most vulnerable during their treatment. If you're an experienced knitter, or someone who wishes to learn how to knit, or would love to knit for a cause, join a Knit for Life group at either the SCI First Hill or Issaquah campus.
This network of volunteers uses knitting as a healing experience to enhance the lives of cancer patients, their family members and caregivers during treatment and recovery. The group provides a supportive environment for beginners and experienced knitters. All knitting materials are provided ...
Resources and social support for dealing with cancer
Here at the Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI), we understand that individuals cope in their own unique ways, and that receiving personalized education and support is important in the healing process. For this reason, the SCI is devoted to providing complementary supportive services for newly diagnosed patients, those undergoing treatment, and those who have completed treatment, as well as their caregivers.
The SCI offers programs that promote education, hope, and healing. Many of these programs are offered free of charge, while others are offered on a sliding scale. These integrated care programs include:
- American Cancer Society Patient Navigation: The American Cancer Society Patient Navigator helps patients find resources related to financial assistance, transportation, access to wigs and prosthetics, and much more.
- Art Therapy: Art therapy is a confidential, supportive, and individualized experience for examining health issues through visual and verbal self-exploration.
- Cancer Rehabilitation: Cancer rehabilitation integrates medical management of cancer treatment-related side effects with a variety of exercise therapies.
- Health Education: The Swedish Cancer Education Centers offer complementary educational materials, innovative learning opportunities, and patient education classes.
- Genetic Counseling and Testing: Genetic testing is available for individuals to determine their risk for developing certain cancers.
- Massage Therapy: Massage therapy may help with cancer-related pain, fatigue and nausea.
- Naturopathic Medicine: Combining modern science with natural remedies, naturopathic doctors are available for consultation and treat¬ment through coordination with the patient's oncologist.
- Nutrition Care Services: Nutritionists are available to help patients and caregivers make healthy dietary choices during cancer treatment.
- Psychiatry: Psychiatrists help patients and caregivers maintain the emotional and mental well-being needed to cope with stresses of cancer.
- Oncology Social Work: Licensed oncology social workers provide patients and caregivers ongoing counseling and assistance.
- Support Groups: Support groups for patients and caregivers are offered weekly, creating an environment for people to share their feelings with others going through similar experiences.
Patients often hear that it's important to find a strong support system during and after treatment; this may include a partner, sibling, parent, child or close friend. These are ...
Cancer Awareness and Community Events
Nearly every month of the year has been recognized as a cancer-related awareness month. Cancer awareness months provide the perfect opportunity to share information about specific types of cancer in order to increase knowledge about symptoms, screenings and treatment options, to reduce the stigma of cancer, and to help raise funds for cancer research.
Whether you show your support by wearing a cancer awareness color or ribbon, discuss cancer-related information with family members and friends, or attend a community event or fundraiser, your voice counts. We encourage you to help spread the word and express the importance of education, prevention, early detection and treatment:

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Community Hospital East has been ranked ninth in neurology and neurosurgery in U.S. News Media & World Report's 2011-12 Best Hospitals rankings, available online at www.usnews.com/besthospitals. The rankings, annually published by U.S. News for the past 22 years, were featured in the August 30, 2011 U.S. News Best Hospitals guidebook. Full story >>
To learn more about neuroscience and neurosurgery services at Community Health Network, visit eCommunity.com/neurosciences.
The Community Neurosurgery team came together in 2010, and according to John T. Cummings Jr., M.D., medical director of neurosurgery for Community Health Network, the practice has "taken off like gangbusters." "We've grown the neurosurgical volume, in the first quarter of 2011 alone, 35 percent over last year's volume and expanded our outreach considerably," he said.
Much of that growth is a result of innovative minimally invasive spine surgeries, which are at the core of the practice. The addition of David C. Hall, M.D., to the practice rounded out Community East's neurosurgery services by adding cranial and aneurysm treatments to the offerings.
Hall, a highly regarded neurosurgeon with 27 years experience in the Indianapolis area, specializes in complex craniotomies for skull-based tumors and brain trauma. He also implants stimulators in the brains for people with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. "We cover the entire spectrum of adult neurosurgery here at East," Hall said. What that means is eastside residents can get very high quality care right in their own neighborhood.
Cummings is one of only about 70 surgeons nationwide performing percutaneous fusion of the sacroiliac joint, a minimally invasive surgery that has a better outcome than traditional surgery. Robert B. Sloan, M.D., specializes in minimally invasive treatments for degenerative spine disorders.
It's difficult to perform complex surgeries without the right tools. So, Community East invested in the most advanced microscopes and O-arm® systems, which provide neurosurgeons with real-time, 3-D images of the spine right in the operating room. The O-arms interface with the computerized Stealth surgical navigation system, which the neurosurgeons use to navigate both the spine and brain. This technology allows Community East neurosurgeons to perform intricate minimally invasive surgeries as safely as possible.
"We push the edge when it comes to using technology," Sloan said. "All of us are very thoughtful in terms of coming up with a surgical plan that is the minimal surgery a patient needs to get the best outcome and the fastest recovery."
Community East also made a tremendous investment in the surgical infrastructure, and utilizes an advanced system of electronic medical records that allow the neurosurgeons to access patient information quickly and efficiently. People might be surprised to learn these cutting-edge procedures are available at Community East.
"What makes us light years ahead is the fact that we've embarked on a very significant modernization program over the last couple of years," Hall said. "So even though the building looks old on the outside, everything on the inside has been renewed and brought up to the latest standards of neurosurgery. This is the brand new Community!"
"We have all the latest up-to-date equipment that people might expect more with a university setting, but our focus is patient care," Hall said. "We have an individualized approach for every patient and we confer amongst ourselves about the more complex issues."
The nursing staff and allied health staff at Community East are also part of the team and contribute greatly to the patient-focused environment. "We are small enough that patients don't get lost in the mix," Cummings said. "This is a friendly environment where we all work together to take good care of our patients."

Newburyport, MA — Walter John Behringer, Jr., age 72, of Newburyport, died unexpectedly Tuesday evening, November 5, 2013, at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport. He was the beloved husband of Karen E. (Abeel) Behringer.
Born August 5, 1941, in Newark, New Jersey, son of the late Walter J. and Helen (Wilson) Behringer, he was a graduate of Emerson College and Montclair State University, receiving degrees in education and teaching.
A most beloved teacher, Walter had taught English, Speech and Drama at both Hillside High School in Hillside, New Jersey and Westfield High School in Westfield, New Jersey. As a dedicated teacher with the interest of his students at heart, profoundly impacting their lives, many stayed in touch with him over the years. After moving to Newburyport, he made appearances at the Newburyport School Board meetings, his love and interest in teaching ever present. Throughout his life, he had been actively involved with the Emerson College Alumni Association.
Walter was also a gifted musician, playing the guitar and singing on nationwide tours as a member of the Ramblers Three. In 1963, the group released an album through MGM Records, Make Way for The Ramblers Three and made guest appearances on the Merv Griffin Show. As a punster, with his extensive knowledge of the English language, speech and drama, he could keep any crowd well entertained for hours. He also enjoyed birds and bird watching, and was a passionate Boston Red Sox fan, often traveling to Florida for their Spring training.
In addition to his wife of twenty-three years, best friend and former student, Karen E. Behringer of Newburyport, he leaves behind his mother-in-law; Judith M. Abeel, brother-in-law, Christian M. Abeel and fiancee, Elizabeth H. Hall; his nephews, Ralph C. Abeel and Alan C. Abeel III; his cousin, Elaine Behringer, along with a host of lifelong friends. He was predeceased by his sister, Joan B. Pruess.
The legacy he leaves behind will continually warm the hearts of those who loved him so dearly.
ARRANGEMENTS: Funeral services and interment will be private for the family. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Emerson College Alumni Association, 120 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116. Arrangements are by Elliott, Woodworth & Rogers Family Funeral Home of Newburyport.

<communications, standard> (Formerly "RS-422") An EIA serial line standard which specifies 4-wire, full-duplex, differential line, multi-drop communications. The mechanical connections for this interface are specified by EIA-449. The maximum cable length is 1200m. Maximum data rates are 10Mbps at 1.2m or 100Kbps at 1200m. EIA-422 cannot implement a truly multi-point communications network (such as with EIA-485), although only one driver can be connected to up to ten receivers. The best use of EIA-422 is probably in EIA-232 extension cords.

Echinacea /ˌɛkɨˈneɪʃ(i)ə/[1] is a genus, or group of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. The nine species it contains are commonly called coneflowers. They are endemic to eastern and central North America, where they are found growing in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος (echino), meaning "sea urchin," due to the spiny central disk. Some species are used in herbal medicines and some are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. A few species are of conservation concern.[citation needed]
Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants growing up to (140 cm or possibly 4 feet, reference needed) in height. They grow from taproots, except E. purpurea, which grows from a short caudex with fibrous roots. They have erect stems that in most species are unbranched. Both the basal and cauline leaves are arranged alternately. The leaves are normally hairy with a rough texture, having uniseriate trichomes (1-4 rings of cells) but sometimes they lack hairs. The basal leaves and the lower stem leaves have petioles, and as the leaves progress up the stem the petioles often decrease in length. The leaf blades in different species may have one, three or five nerves. Some species have linear to lanceolate shaped leaves, and others have elliptic- to ovate-shaped leaves; often the leaves decrease in size as they progress up the stems. Leaf bases gradually increase in width away from the petioles or the bases are rounded to heart shaped. Most species have leaf margins that are entire, but sometimes they are dentate or serrate. The flowers are collected together into single rounded heads that terminate long peduncles. The inflorescences have crateriform to hemispheric shaped involucres which are 12–40 mm wide. The phyllaries, or bracts below the flower head, are persistent and number 15–50. The phyllaries are produced in a 2–4 series. The receptacles are hemispheric to conic in shape. The paleae (chaffs on the receptacles of many Asteraceae) have orange to reddish purple ends, and are longer than the disc corollas. The paleae bases partially surrounding the cypselae, and are keeled with the apices abruptly constricted to awn-like tips. The ray florets number 8–21 and the corollas are dark purple to pale pink, white, or yellow. The tubes of the corolla are hairless or sparsely hairy, and the laminae are spreading, reflexed, or drooping in habit and linear to elliptic or obovate in shape. The abaxial faces of the laminae are glabrous or moderately hairy. The flower heads have typically 200-300 fertile, bisexual disc florets but some have more. The corollas are pinkish, greenish, reddish-purple or yellow and have tubes shorter than the throats. The pollen is normally yellow in most species, but usually white in E. pallida. The three or four-angled fruits (cypselae), are tan or bicolored with a dark brown band distally. The pappi is persistent and variously crown-shaped with 0 to 4 or more prominent teeth. x = 11.[2]
Like all Asteraceae, the flowering structure is a composite inflorescence, with purple (rarely yellow or white) florets arranged in a prominent, somewhat cone-shaped head – "cone-shaped" because the petals of the outer ray florets tend to point downward (are reflexed) once the flower head opens, thus forming a cone. Plants are generally long lived, with distinctive flowers. The common name "cone flower" comes from the characteristic center "cone" at the center of the flower. The generic name Echinacea is rooted in the Greek word ἐχῖνος (echinos), meaning sea urchin,[3] it references the spiky appearance and feel of the flower heads.
The species of Echinacea are
Researchers at the Agricultural Research Service are using DNA analysis to help determine the number of Echinacea species. The DNA analysis allows researchers to reveal clear distinctions among species based on chemical differences in root metabolites. The research concluded that of the 40 genetically diverse populations of Echinacea studied, there were nine distinct species. [1]
Marketed and studied medicinal products contain different species (E. purpurea, E. angustifolia, E. pallida), different organs (roots and herbs) and different preparations (extracts and expressed juice). Their chemical compositions are very different.[4][5]
Multiple scientific reviews and meta-analyses have evaluated the published peer reviewed literature on the immunological effects of Echinacea. Reviews of the medicinal effects of Echinacea are often complicated by the inclusion of these different products.[6] Evaluation of the literature within the field suffers generally from a lack of well-controlled trials, with many studies of low quality.[6][7][8][9]
There is no firm evidence that Echinacea products provide any benefit in treating or preventing the common cold, although there is some possibility of weak benefit.[10]
According to Cancer Research UK: "There is no scientific evidence to show that echinacea can help treat, prevent or cure cancer in any way. Some therapists have claimed that echinacea can help relieve side effects from cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But this hasn't been proved either.[11]
Echinacea is popularly believed to be an immunostimulator, stimulating the body's non-specific immune system and warding off infections and also being used as a laxative. A study commonly used to support that belief is a 2007 meta-analysis in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.[7]
Echinacea angustifolia was widely used by the North American Plains Indians for its general medicinal qualities.[12] Echinacea was one of the basic antimicrobial herbs of eclectic medicine from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century, and its use was documented for snakebite, anthrax, and for relief of pain. In the 1930s echinacea became popular in both Europe and America as a herbal medicine. According to Wallace Sampson, MD, its modern day use as a treatment for the common cold began when a Swiss herbal supplement maker was "erroneously told" that echinacea was used for cold prevention by Native American tribes who lived in the area of South Dakota.[13] Although Native American tribes didn't use echinacea to prevent the common cold, some Plains tribes did use echinacea to treat some of the symptoms that could be caused by the common cold: The Kiowa used it for coughs and sore throats, the Cheyenne for sore throats, the Pawnee for headaches, and many tribes including the Lakotah used it as an analgesic.[14]
Native Americans learned of E. angustifolia by observing elk seeking out the plants and consuming them when sick or wounded, and identified those plants as elk root.[15]
Like most unrefined drugs from plant or animal origin, the constituent base for echinacea is complex, consisting of a wide variety of chemicals of variable effect and potency. Some chemicals may be directly antimicrobial, while others may work at stimulating or modulating different parts of the immune system. All species have chemical compounds called phenols, which are common to many other plants. Phenyl propanoid constituents such as cichoric acid and caftaric acid are present in E. purpurea, other phenols include echinacoside, a caffeic acid glycoside, which is found in greater levels within E. angustifolia and E. pallida roots than in other species. Many caffeic acid derivatives are ubiquitous plants constituents with little specific effects other than anti-oxidant activity. Although the phenolic constituents are poorly absorbed and have no dose–response relationship in clinical settings, their relative proportions can serve as markers for species identification and quality control of herbal remedies. Other chemical constituents that may be important in echinacea health effects include alkylamides and polysaccharides.
The immunomodulatory effects of echinacea preparations are likely caused by fat-soluble alkylamides (alkamides), which occur mostly in E. angustifolia and E. purpurea but not in E. pallida.[16] Alkylamides bind particularly to human CB2 and to a much lesser degree to CB1 cannabinoid receptors; as a result they are implicated in a variety of modulatory functions, including immune suppression, induction of apoptosis, cell migration and inhibition of tumor necrosis factor.[17] These alkylamides, namely, dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide and dodeca-2E,4E-dienoic acid isobutylamide, have similar potency to that of THC at the CB2 receptor, with THC being around 1.5 times stronger (~40 nm vs ~60 nm affinities). However, potency is dramatically less than that of THC at the psychoactive CB1 receptor (~40 nm vs ~ >1500 nm affinities).[18]
As with any herbal preparation, individual doses may vary significantly in active chemical composition. In addition to poor process control which may affect inter- and intra-batch homogeneity, species, plant part, extraction method, and contamination or adulteration with other products all lead to variability between products.[19][20]
As with any plant, the chemical makeup of echinacea is not consistent throughout the organism. In particular, the root has been promoted as containing a more efficacious mixture of active chemicals. A 2003 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Taylor et al. 2003[21]) found that when echinacea products made from the entire plant were taken after the second cold symptom appeared they provided no measurable beneficial effect for children in treating the severity or duration of symptoms caused by the common cold virus. A 2005 study in the New England Journal of Medicine (Turner, 2005[22]) focused on several root extracts, but still found no statistically significant effects on duration, intensity, or prevention of symptoms.
When taken by mouth, Echinacea does not usually cause side effects.[23] One of the most extensive and systematic studies to review the safety of Echinacea products concluded that overall, "adverse events are rare, mild and reversible," with the most common symptoms being "gastrointestinal and skin-related."[24] Such side effects include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, itch, and rash. Echinacea has also been linked to rare allergic reactions, including asthma, shortness of breath, and one case of anaphylaxis.[24][25][26] Muscle and joint pain has been associated with Echinacea, but it may have been caused by cold or flu symptoms for which the Echinacea products were administered.[24] There are isolated case reports of rare and idiosyncratic reactions including thrombocytopenic purpura, leucopenia, hepatitis, renal failure, and atrial fibrillation, although it is not clear that these were due to Echinacea itself.[27]
There are concerns that by stimulating immune function, Echinacea could potentially exacerbate autoimmune disease and/or decrease the effectiveness of immunosuppressive drugs, but this warning is based on theoretical considerations rather than human data.[27] There have been no case reports of any drug interactions with Echinacea and "the currently available evidence suggests that echinacea is unlikely to pose serious health threats for patients combining it with conventional drugs."[28]
As a matter of manufacturing safety, one investigation by an independent consumer testing laboratory found that five of eleven selected retail Echinacea products failed quality testing. Four of the failing products contained levels of phenols below the potency level stated on the labels. One failing product was contaminated with lead.[20]
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) assessed[29] the body of evidence and approved the use of expressed juice and dried expressed juice from fresh flowering aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea for the short-term prevention and treatment of the common cold. According to their recommendations:
It should not be used for more than 10 days. The use in children below 1 year of age is contraindicated, because of theoretically possible undesirable effect on immature immune system. The use in children between 1 and 12 years of age is not recommended, because efficacy has not been sufficiently documented although specific risks are not documented. In the absence of sufficient data, the use in pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.[30]
Some species of echinacea, notably E. purpurea, E. angustifolia, and E. pallida, are grown as ornamental plants in gardens.[31] Many cultivars exist, and many of them are asexually propagated to keep them true to type.
They tolerate a wide variety of conditions, maintain attractive foliage throughout the season, and multiply rapidly. Appropriate species are used in prairie restorations. Echinacea plants also reseed in the fall. New flowers will grow where seeds have fallen from the prior year.[32]
Echinacea extracts inhibited growth of three species of trypanosomatids: Leishmania donovani, Leishmania major, and Trypanosoma brucei.[33]

The state Revenue Department says it knows which taxpayers have been hacked.
Several WIS viewers sent us a copy of an e-mail from Experian saying their account information was compromised. They were concerned the e-mail may not be real.
We checked with the Revenue Department, and it is, in fact, authentic. DOR says it has started contacting all the individuals affected.
In the e-mail from Experian on behalf of DOR, it says. "We are writing you today to confirm that your tax information was compromised."
It says that information includes Social Security numbers of you and your dependents. It could even include your bank account numbers.
The e-mail goes on to say you should check your financial statements regularly and make sure security freezes and fraud alerts are in place.
A spokesperson with DOR says everyone whose information has been breached will be notified by letter or e-mail. Officials say 3.4 million letters have gone out since Dec. 10.
There are still a couple thousand left that should be mailed by the end of this week.
All e-mails have been sent out.

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed six innings of two- hit, shutout ball as the Los Angeles Dodgers earned their second straight 1-0 victory over the San Diego Padres.
The outcome became tenuous in the ninth when San Diego put runners on the corners with one out, but Kenley Jansen struck out Jake Goebbert and Seth Smith to close out the victory.
The Dodgers scored the game's only run in the sixth frame when Dee Gordon slapped a single into left field, stole second on a pitchout and scored on Yasiel Puig's base hit to center.
Ryu (10-5), who failed to make it out of the third inning in his previous start, did not allow a runner past first base and struck out 10, but the left- hander was nevertheless pulled after throwing 92 pitches.
The Padres put two on against Brandon League in the seventh, and J.P. Howell entered from the bullpen with two outs and got Brooks Conrad to fly out to left field.
Howell stayed on and pitched the eighth before Jansen escaped with his 27th save of the year.
Tyson Ross (7-10), despite lowering his ERA to 2.85, was saddled with the loss having allowed one run on six hits over seven frames.
San Diego dropped three of four in the series and heads to the All-Star break having lost seven of its last nine.
The Dodgers hold the NL's best record at the break at 54-43.

How Will the Florida Bar's Ethics Opinion Prohibiting Waivers of Claims of Prosecutorial Misconduct and Ineffective Assistance of Counsel Be Enforced?
Florida's criminal defense attorneys are probably aware by now that the Florida Bar has adopted the highly debated ethical opinion which prohibits waivers of claims of prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel in plea bargains. According to the Florida Bar News report, although representatives from the United States Attorneys offices for the Southern, Middle, and Northern Districts of Florida argued against the adoption of the ethical opinion, the Board of Governors adopted the proposed ethical opinion with only a few dissenting votes.
The ethical opinion is a step in the right direction, but how will the opinion will be enforced? For those of you who practice in State court, if your client is offered a plea that contains a waiver of claims of ineffective assistance of counsel or prosecutorial misconduct, perhaps you could bring the new ethical opinion to the prosecutor's attention. If that fails, you could bring the ethical opinion to the attention of the court.
However, if you practice in Federal court, the ethical opinion may not necessarily change anything. Federal court criminal defense practitioners may know that the Department of Justice does not require that the Assistant United States Attorneys be admitted to their state bar. In other words, AUSAs in the Southern, Middle, and Northern Districts may not necessarily be members of the Florida Bar. If the AUSAs are not members of the Florida Bar, they would not be bound by any of the Florida Bar's ethical rules. Therefore, unless the U.S. Attorneys in the districts of Florida voluntarily adopt a policy prohibiting plea offers containing waivers of prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel, Federal court criminal defense practitioners may see little to no change with regard to plea offers. I would hope that the US Attorneys take it upon themselves to change their policies, but, given their opposition to the ethical opinion, I wouldn't expect it.

Realtors see increase in home sales
Date: May 5, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
Homes sales are up for Manatee County Realtors.
In April, the Manatee County REALTORS filed 68.2% more single-family home contracts than in January, up to 471 contracts from 280.
On a local level, data shows that "under contract" homes are at the highest they have been for more than a year, a possible indicator that the housing market is making a turn.
In April, Manatee County reported 304 total sales, up from 234 in January. Additionally, of those homes, 66% were either bank-owned, foreclosures or short sales, a steady decrease from previous months.

The brother of a woman originally indicted but later cleared in the DeKalb County school corruption scandal is frustrated his late sister was never publicly vindicated.
Cointa Moody was only 51 when she died suddenly in January of natural causes.
Moody's brother, Cleveland Dollison, tells FOX 5's Portia Bruner that she died with a broken heart, never having the chance to clear her name from the DeKalb school corruption scandal that cast doubt on the respected minister's character for years.
Moody was the administrative assistant for Patricia Reid, the former Chief Operating Officer for the DeKalb County district.
Prosecutors have accused Reid of funneling $80 million in construction contracts to architect Tony Pope, who was her husband at the time.
Dr. Crawford Lewis was the school superintendent at the time who was accused of aiding in what prosecutors called an elaborate racketeering scheme.
A DeKalb County Grand Jury indicted all four in 2010.
The district fired Moody from the job her brother says she loved, and she soon lost her job.
After years of denying any wrongdoing, Dr. Lewis pled guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction in exchange for his testimony against Pope and Reid when they go on trial later in October.
"For 2.5 years he's been saying he's not guilty and 'I can't wait for my day in court.' Then he makes a deal, maybe he'll do a year, maybe he won't. But my sister didn't get the chance to hear her name vindicated," Dollison said at Moody's Ellenwood grave site.
When a grand jury re-indicted Lewis last year on more serious charges, Dollison says there was little made of the fact that the charges against his sister were dropped. He says that's why his sister went to her grave with many still believing she was involved in the corruption scandal.
According to the brother, "unfortunately, we live in a society where you are guilty until you're proven innocent. And for years, my sister was all over television looking guilty."
Dollison says his sister held her head high until the end, knowing if no one else did, that she never committed a crime.
"I'm just glad her story is finally being told," Collison said Thursday.

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, HorrorWelcome to a new feature here at Horror Squad you can expect to find every Wednesday and Friday. It's called I Would Have Saved/Killed and it goes like this: one of our writers will pick a character, big or small, from a movie and explain how they, for whatever reason, would have altered the fate of that character.
Don't worry, we will never spoil anything pre-jump, though obviously everything after the break is operating under the assumption you've seen the film to the right, so be warned. And a big tip of our hat to Arbogast on Film for inspiring us with his post The One You Might Have Saved.
Name: Hollis
Fate: Dead
Cause of Death/Method of Escape: Brain trauma caused by nailgun. One of the final victims of insane, homicidal miner Harry Warden.
Verdict: I Would Have Saved Him
Reason: Hollis was one of the most honest characters in all of slasherdom. He was a terribly nice guy who was so devoid of combative personality that he was often the one breaking up fights. He was the epitome of a decent blue-collar worker; a coal miner who took great joy in ending each day covered from head to toe in soot. As a drinking buddy, Hollis was second to none and if you needed further proof of his inescapably likable personality, take a gander at his disproportionately attractive girlfriend. You don't look like him and get a girl like that unless you are a certifiably awesome guy.
Not to mention the fact that guy is a mumblety-peg champion. If you are unfamiliar with this old sailor's game, recall that awesome scene in Aliens wherein Bishop gets a little knife-happy with Hudson. Bishop takes the blade and, in a feat often imitated by your drunkest of uncles, begins to rapidly thrust it downward between the fingers of Hudson's splayed hand. In a fantastic scene from My Bloody Valentine, Hollis turns this boastful foolishness into a competition wherein he and another bar patron stare at one another and see how fast they can go and who can remain unjabbed the longest. How can you kill a man that has proven himself the zen master of this ridiculous contest?
His death prompted an incredibly rare sense of loss not often felt while watching a slasher film. Normally we can't wait for the next bloody dispatch of one of the various boobs stupid enough to investigate that old house or venture into the cursed woods. But Hollis' mistake was merely going to his place of work after hours to throw a party. Granted, partying in a remote location is tantamount to signing ones own death warrant in a slasher film. But Hollis' profound amiability serves as a significant mitigating factor.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Bottle-nose dolphins are continuing to wash up on North Carolina shores.
Officials with UNCW's Marine Mammal Stranding Program say the number of dolphin strandings is going down in North Carolina, but they are still seeing about five to ten dolphins wash up a week throughout the state.
A large number of those dolphins have tested positive for Morbillvirus. The disease, which is similar to measles in humans, has already killed hundreds of dolphins along the east coast.

Collombey, Switzerland
This colourful arrangement of pipes and storage tanks is found at the biggest oil refinery in Switzerland, the Collombey plant in the canton of Valais. It is owned and run by the Libyan state oil firm Tamoil Group, which bought it in 1990. "I was fascinated by the colours and the variety of elements," says Zanier, who photographed the plant in March, during the Libyan crisis. "The atmosphere was awkward because of the conflict, but they had to keep working as if all was normal."

Fins Ready for No. 5 Florida in NCAA First Round
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the first time since 2004, the Jacksonville University volleyball team is going dancing. It was announced during the live selection show on ESPNU Sunday night that the Fins will face No. 5 seed Florida in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The Gators (27-3) are hosting the first and second rounds in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center Thursday and Friday, Dec. 5-6.
Florida State (24-7) and Georgia Southern (28-5) will kick-off the first match at 5 p.m. on Thursday before the Dolphins (30-3) and Gators collide at 7 p.m. The winners of each match will advance to the second round on Friday at 7 p.m.
The victor will earn a berth in the Champaign, Ill., regional, which will take place Dec. 13-14 at the State Farm Center.
"We are feeling confident about entering this tournament," said second-year Head Coach Michelle Collier. "Making it to the NCAA tournament was our ultimate goal and we accomplished that. So now it's really just about leaving it all out there, pushing ourselves as far as we can, and seeing where that takes us.
"We are looking forward the opportunity to play a great team like Florida," Collier continued. "We know they are going to be the biggest challenge we have faced all year, but we are excited to come out and give it our best shot."
The last meeting between JU and Florida was on Sept. 7, 2012. The Fins were swept in Gainesville by then-ranked No. 15 Florida.
The NCAA First and Second rounds will be streamed live and for FREE on GatorVision.tv. Along with free video, each match will have live stats via GameTracker. All information for the 2013 NCAA Volleyball Gainesville Sub-Regional can be found here.
NCAA Notes:
- In 2004, Jacksonville competed in its first NCAA Tournament under former Head Coach Kevin Paul since the program moved to the Division I level in 1985
- The Fins competed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at host Florida A&M against eventual national champion, No. 6 Stanford, and were swept
- They finished their 2004 season 15-14 overall, 8-2 in the A-Sun, tied for second in the conference and won JU's first A-Sun Tournament Championship
Season Notes:

- The Fins are currently riding a 10-match win streak, tying their earlier 10-match win streak from Sept. 27 to Oct. 25
- 30 wins is the program's best since tying the 1982 team's record
- Three losses is the fewest in the program's 41-year history
- JU's 16 A-Sun wins was the most since joining the conference in 1998

PLAINFIELD, Ind. (AP) -- At least 12 people have been hurt after more than 30 vehicles smashed together in a snowy pileup on Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis.
Indiana State Police Capt. Dave Bursten says two people were seriously injured, but he doesn't know how badly.
Bursten says about 20 semi trailers and about 15 passenger vehicles were involved in the crash. The crash has closed I-70 in both directions.
Police believe weather played a role in the crash. The National Weather Service says it was snowing at the time, with slick pavement and poor visibility.
A photo posted at www.wishtv.com showed at least five rigs angled side-by side, each one completely blocking all lanes in one direction.

A Dedham mother remembers when her teenage daughter became overwhelmed with anxiety and was using illicit drugs. When her daughter's doctor suggested she see "a therapist," the mother began investigating, and soon found a dizzying array of options — psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and social workers, among others.
Some specialized in prescribing mood-altering medications, while others focused on psychotherapy that delves into the child's past. Some focused on changing destructive behaviors, while others probed family and school stresses. Beyond that, there were also pastoral counselors, yoga therapists, and life coaches.
