|Voice Actors
Raijin (雷神, Raijin) and his brother Fūjin are the Legendary Stupid Brothers.
The two brothers originated from an unknown village. They once killed their comrades over a meal, and calmed down immediately afterwards. After the incident, they were locked up in Konoha Strict Correctional Facility.[1]
Raijin and his brother's thoughts revolve completely around food, and the guards of the prison would use this to their advantage, by controlling the food supply to keep the brothers in check. Both live up to their monikers as being very unintelligent, and they were scared into submission by Tsunade's strength.
Both brothers have tremendous strength, being compared to the raw might of Tsunade's. In reality, even the prison they reside in is incapable of containing them, as they can easily break down the cell door. However, for all their strength, they are unintelligent and can be easily duped.
Part I
Mizuki Strikes Back Arc
While in prison, the brothers were befriended by Mizuki, who convinced them to help him escape by offering them food.[2] Once they escaped, they fought Naruto and the members of Team 10. They were unable to beat the brothers, and it was not until Tsunade arrived and threatened to not give them any more food that they returned to jail.[3]
- Raijin shares the same name with the Shintō god of thunder.

See "The Synoptic Gospel," p.1349.
The early church fathers were unanimous in holding that Matthew, one of the 12 apostles, was
the author of this Gospel. However, the results of modern critical studies-in particular those that
stress Matthew's alleged dependence on Mark for a substantial part of his Gospel-have caused some
Biblical scholars to abandon Matthean authorship. Why, they ask, would Matthew, an eyewitness to
the events of our Lord's life, depend so heavily on Mark's account? The best answer seems to be that
he agreed with it and wanted to show that the apostolic testimony to Christ was not divided.
Matthew, whose name means "gift of the Lord," was a tax collector who left his work to follow
Jesus (9:9-13). In Mark and Luke he is called by his other name, Levi, and Mark also mentions that
he was the "son of Alpheus" (2:14). As a tax official he had to be intelligent and literate, and thus
capable of precisely recording events in the life of our Lord. Matthew frequently mentions money and
has an interest in large figures (18:24; 25:15).
Date and Place of Writing
The Jewish nature of Matthew's Gospel may suggest that it was written in the Holy Land, though
many think it may have originated in Syrian Antioch. Some have argued on the basis of its Jewish
characteristics that it was written in the early church period, possibly the early part of A.D. 50, when
the church was largely Jewish and the gospel was preached to Jews only (Ac 11:19). However, those
who have concluded that both Matthew and Luke drew extensively from Mark's Gospel date it later-after
the Gospel of Mark had been in circulation for a period of time. See chart, p. 1349. Accordingly,
some feel that Matthew would have been written in the late 50s or in the 60s. Others, who
assume that Mark was written between 65 and 70, place Matthew in the 70s or even later.
Since his Gospel was written in Greek, Matthew's readers were obviously Greek-speaking. They
also seem to have been Jews. Many elements point to Jewish readership: Matthew's concern with fulfillment
of the OT (he has more quotations from and allusions to the OT than any other Gospel
writer); his tracing of Jesus' descent from Abraham (1:1-17); his lack of explanation of Jewish customs
(especially in contrast to Mark); his use of Jewish terminology (e.g., "kingdom of heaven" and
"Father in heaven," where "heaven" reveals the Jewish reverential reluctance to use the name of
God); his emphasis on Jesus' role as "Son of David" (1:1; 9:27; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30-31; 21:9,15;
22:41-45). This does not mean, however, that Matthew restricts his Gospel to Jews. He records the
coming of the wise men (non-Jews) to worship the infant Jesus (2:1-12), as well as Jesus' statement
that the "field is the world" (13:38). He also gives a full statement of the Great Commission
(28:18-20). These passages show that, although Matthew's Gospel is Jewish, it has a universal outlook.
Matthew's main purpose is to prove to his Jewish readers that Jesus is their Messiah. He does this
primarily by showing how Jesus in His life and ministry fulfilled the OT Scriptures. Although all the
Gospel writers quote the OT, Matthew includes nine additional proof texts (1:22-23; 2:15; 2:17-18;
2:23; 4:14-16; 8:17; 12:17-21; 13:35; 27:9-10) to drive home his basic theme: Jesus is the fulfillment
of the OT predictions of the Messiah. Matthew even finds the history of God's people in the OT
recapitulated in some aspects of Jesus' life (see, e.g., his quotation of Hos 11:1 in 2:15). To accomplish
his purpose Matthew also emphasizes Jesus' Davidic lineage (see Recipients above).
The way the material is arranged reveals an artistic touch. The whole Gospel is woven around six
great discourses: (1) chs. 5-7; (2) ch. 10; (3) ch. 13; (4) ch. 18; (5) ch. 23; (6) chs. 24-25. That
this is deliberate is clear from the refrain that concludes each discourse: "When Jesus had finished
these words," or similar phrases (7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1). The narrative sections, in each case,
appropriately lead up to the discourses. The Gospel has a fitting prologue (chs. 1-2) and a challenging
epilogue (28:16-20).
Matthew begins as "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ," much as Genesis begins each of
its ten main sections with "the generations of ." (see note on Gen 2:4). Jewish readers notice the
similarity immediately. Matthew gives Jesus' royal lineage and supernatural birth (1-2), followed by
his qualifications through baptism and the temptation (3-4). Then he gives Jesus' basic message
(5-7), followed by a grouping of miracles (8-10). After Christ's rejection as seen in ch. 11-12, Matthew
records Jesus' parables showing a different direction from the immediate kingdom he had been
announcing for the Jews. The climax of Matthew is found in the passion story which makes up so
much of the rest of the book.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to
David are fourteen generations; and from David
until the carrying away into Babylon are
fourteen generations; and from the carrying
away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
The birth of Jesus
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was
on this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a justman, and not willing to make her a publick
example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto
him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall
save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted
is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did
as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and
took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought
forth her firstborn son: and he called his
name JESUS.
The coming of the wise men
2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem
of Judea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the
east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of
the Jews? for we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem
with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief
priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of
Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of
Juda, art not the least among the princes of
Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor,
that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called
the wise men, inquired of them diligently
what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said,
Go and search diligently for the young child;
and when ye have found him, bring me word
again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed;
and lo, the star, which they saw in the
east, went before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoicedwith exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with Mary his
mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream
that they should not return to Herod, they departed
into their own country another way.
The flight into Egypt
13 And when they were departed, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph
in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young
child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and
be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod
will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child
and his mother by night, and departed into
15 And was there until the death of Herod:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt
have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was
mocked of the wise men, was exceeding
wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the
coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently
inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken
by Jeremie the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard,
lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they are not.
From Egypt to Nazareth
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph
in Egypt,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother, and go into the land of Israel:
for they are dead which sought the young
child's life.
21 And he arose, and took the young child
and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did
reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod,
he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,
being warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called
Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called
a Nazarene.
John the Baptist
3 In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the
prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of
camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his
loins; and his meat was locusts and wild
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all
Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan,
confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees
and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said
unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, that God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham.Continues.

Confederates would ask the Yankees why it was taking them so long to cross the river. And Yankees would ask why the Rebels wore such ratty old clothes. Some of the jibes were mean-spirited at first, but most of the men were just out to have some fun. They established a trade for goods their armies didn't have. The Yankees had lots of coffee — real coffee — and the Rebels had plenty of tobacco. Newspapers were in demand, because soldiers on the line rarely knew anything about the events on other fronts in the war.
The exchanges began with toy boats, each about two feet long and six inches wide, carved from small tree trunks and hollowed out in the center to carry cargo. The men fashioned tiny sails and rudders so the boats would go in the right direction.
The first boat was dispatched by a
Before long, dozens of little boats were making the crossing. Hundreds of soldiers gathered on the shore to greet each new shipment. And not a shot was ever fired. This contact was officially forbidden, of course, and officers issued strict orders and delivered threats, but these were ignored.
One group of northern and southern cavalrymen even met for breakfast, upstream from
Once, when Union soldiers heard Confederates on the other side cheering, they yelled over to ask what was going on. A Rebel soldier yelled back that Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was inspecting his troops. When the Yankees heard that, they shouted back, "Hurrah for Stonewall Jackson!"
Despite the rules and orders against fraternizing with the enemy, the men started to visit back and forth. They began to think of one another not as enemies, but as people very much like themselves. All the soldiers were far from home, afraid, lonely, bored with the routine of everyday army life, and sick of the endless war.
Above all, they grumbled about how tired they were of everything connected with the war. They couldn't hate men they sat around the campfire with, smoking their tobacco, drinking their coffee, wishing they could all see their families one more time. Was that so much to ask? If they had a choice, they would all go back to their normal lives and let the politicians who talked about glory and victory and noble causes settle it for once and for all.

The Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS), one of the original axial instruments launched with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in April 1990, provided confirming evidence for a massive black hole in 1994 in the giant elliptical galaxy M87. It also engaged in many other observing programs, observing individual stars in other galaxies as well as the impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter. But most significantly it refined quantitative measurements of the characteristics of massive black holes from studies of accretion disks at the centers of galaxies. After almost seven years of service, FOS was removed from HST on February 13, 1997 by the Space Shuttle crew (STS 82, Discovery) during a servicing mission to provide room for a new instrument. The instrument was transferred to NASM by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in 1999. It is now on display in the Explore the Universe gallery.
Transferred from NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD.

Quote :HEB's Policy on Internet Coupons thanks to easydoesit:
Here is the HEB coupon policy that my cousin received back from HEB:
Dear H-E-B Customer Relations:
Hello and thank you for contacting us at our H-E-B Web Site. We always appreciate hearing from our Friends and Customers.
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding H-E-B accepting internet coupons. Our stores can accept internet coupons; however, they must have a clear bar code that scans for the correct amount, as this is how we determine that they are valid. There is a maximum dollar value of $10 and a limit of two of the same internet coupon. We do not accept free item internet coupons, to include buy one get one free offers, due to fraud in this area, and all internet coupons must scan to be accepted. This is not to say that all coupons found online are valid. Some times what a customer thinks is a coupon is nothing more than a statement from a supplier with a cost listed on it and this is not redeemable. Additionally, many coupons found online are for a specific participating retailer. These coupons would not be redeemable at H-E-B.
H-E-B is proud to serve you as our Customer and we will look forward to all future opportunities we may have to serve you. We genuinely value your comments and your business. As we strive to deliver superior Customer Service, we encourage you to continue letting us know how we can serve you better.

Oh, and I tried the BTFE deal at a store without advertisement and it worked. Took a chance since I was already there. I'm guessing it's working all over Austin.
Still recovering for last Tuesday's huge haul, daily tasks and working on the weekend that I seriously don't have any energy to go out tonight and finish up the PG promo with a BANG! Though, it defeits the purpose of my coupon order of $40+ bucks! Ouch!! Hmm....I can just see DH's expression when I mention that I "need" to go to HEB tonight.

Editor's note: This is the first in a two part series looking at local advocate groups that work with the victims affected by crime.
Jacksonville Police Department Chief Mike Yaniero isn't happy.
He isn't happy for 63 reasons, to be exact.
That's how many child abuse cases his agency investigated in 2013. Though that figure is down more than 57 percent from 2012 – where the JPD saw 110 cases – it's still 63 cases too many for the police chief.
"That's 63 children who have been victimized," Yaniero said. "If it were zero, it'd make me feel better, but until there's a zero there, I won't feel better."
According to a study done by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on child welfare, more than 3,100 cases of child abuse and neglect were reported throughout the county between July 2012 and June 2013. Between July 2013 and Jan. 12, there have been 979 cases reports of child abuse, according to the study; and approximately 50 percent of those cases involve children at or under the age of 5.
"It's a tremendous problem in Onslow County," Kathleen Holbrook of the Onslow County Partnership for Children said. "We're in the top 10 in the state and we've been there well over 20 years."
Holbrook said part of the reason for the county's high child abuse rate is due to the youth and inexperience of some parents in the area combined with the unusual stressors that come along with military life.
"You have very young parents and, by being in the military, they have to relocate and they don't have their families relocating with them," Holbrook said. "They don't have the same resources. They don't have parents or grandparents to watch the kids or ask for advice. Add to that a war that's been going on for 12 years and you have another stressor with parents deploying over the years. It creates unstable conditions for families."
Yaniero said another thing he's noticed in abuse cases is that the abusers were once victims themselves. Child abuse can result in a cycle that not only harms multiple generations, he said, but also entire communities.
"I've interviewed murderers before who have told me that they were abused as children," Yaniero said. "A lot of times, you hear about serial rapists and other people who commit serious, violent crimes and you'll find they were abused as children, too. It's a burden they take with them for years; and if we can break the cycle, we can improve their quality of life, we can make them a productive member of the community."
Yaniero said that's where the Child Advocacy Center at the Partnership for Children comes in. The center, which was founded in the summer of 2010, seeks to "treat the whole child and their family" by providing medical examinations and the opportunity for juvenile victims to tell their story without having to worry about repeating it multiple times, Holbrook says. According to Holbrook, this not only saves time and money, but spares the victim the emotional toll of retelling their victimization. As an advocate interviews the child, law enforcement agents, social workers and members of the District Attorney's office are able to listen and watch from another room.
"They can come here and get what they need from the interview and share with each other," Holbrook said. "This method saves $1,037 a case. We're seeing 250 children a year and we're saving taxpayers $250,000 a year with everyone working together. Plus, it saves the child the trauma of repeating their experiences over and over again."
This was the case for child abuse victims during much of Yaniero's tenure as a detective in Bristol, Tenn. He said he remembers a time when young children had to sit in police interrogation rooms and tell their stories, all before having to do it again to a social worker and then again to an assistant district attorney.
According to Yaniero, the child advocacy center method reduces the anxiety caused by officials who might not have the training or temperament to handle those unique interviews.
"We think of kids like little adults, but they're not," Yaniero said. "They look at things differently. What we consider to be rational and easy to understand, a child may not. Frankly, a lot of officers aren't trained to do that."
One of the exceptions is JPD Det. Julia Parrish, who is in her third year as a juvenile detective. Parrish said during her years as a patrol officer with the JPD, she would work on juvenile cases as often as her schedule would allow, calling it a long-time "passion." Whenever she works on a case that goes to the Child Advocacy Center, she said she gets the opportunity to not only to observe the interview but contribute to the interview and introduce herself to victims as an ally, instead of an adversary.
"A lot of officers are afraid to talk to kids because you show up in a uniform and that already puts you at a disadvantage," Parrish said. "It can be very intimidating, but we let them know we're only here for their protection."
Due to the strong military presence in Onslow County, Naval Criminal Investigation Service often works with civilian law enforcement to investigate child abuse cases that are connected with the military. NCIS agents will also observe interviews at the Child Advocacy Center if the investigation also falls to them. Special Agent-In-Charge Joe Kennedy said abuse cases are "high on the emotional spectrum" but said the center is a major help to his agency.
"They help law enforcement more than we help them," Kennedy said. "The ladies that run that place...the passion they bring forth in their work is a huge benefit for law enforcement. They're able to quickly interview a child, get that information to law enforcement and quickly act upon it. They build that rapport with the kids so quickly because they feel so passionately about their work."
Holbrook said the center's ultimate goal is to remove child abuse from Onslow County altogether and turn the building that currently serves child abuse victims and their loved ones into an education center that reminds the community of the effect abuse has on individuals, families and society as a whole. Until that happens, though, Holbrook said the center will continue sending a message out to child abusers that they are being watched.
"The center is sending out a strong message to perpetrators that we're going to get you," Holbrook said. "We're sending out a message that we're going to take this seriously and you're going to be prosecuted."

Advice From Labib: What Tax Deductions Are Still Available to Me?
Advice From Labib
What Tax Deductions Are Still Available to Me?
When Congress changed the tax codes with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, it eliminated many of the deductions that enabled many people to avoid paying income taxes. The revision was very thorough.
However, for those taxpayers who itemize, some key deductions remain.
For example, most if not all of your family's unreimbursed medical and dental expenses may be deductible. If you had high medical or dental bills during the past year that weren't covered by insurance, you may be able to deduct them from your adjusted gross income when you calculate your income taxes.
The following medical and dental expenses are deductible: examinations, surgical procedures, orthodontics, physical therapy, prescription drugs, cosmetic surgery, medical insurance premiums, and travel to and from facilities where medical treatment is given. Expenses that are not deductible include weight-loss programs, health club dues, diaper services, maternity clothes, smoking cessation programs, and nonmedical insurance premiums.
One key fact: you may only deduct medical and dental expenses to the extent that they exceed 71/2 percent of your adjusted gross income and were not reimbursed by your insurance company or employer.
In addition to medical and dental expenses, certain miscellaneous expenses - primarily unreimbursed employee business expenses - can be written off if they exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. Some of the expenses that qualify for this deduction are: union dues, small tools, uniforms, employment agency fees, home office expenses, tax preparation fees, safe deposit box fees, and investment expenses. Your tax advisor will be able to tell you exactly what's deductible for you.
The end of the year is the time to take one last good look and try to determine if you qualify or if you're close.
If you're not close to reaching those cutoffs, you may opt to postpone paying these expenses until the following year, when you may be able to deduct them.
On the other hand, if you're only a little short of the threshold amount, you may want to hunt for additional expenses that will push you over the line.
With a little planning and some help from a qualified tax professional, you may be able to lower your income taxes this year. You just have to plan ahead.

AKRON, Ohio - Winning two of four events it contested Friday night, the Miami University women's track and field team got off to a stellar start on day one of the Akron Invitational, hosted by the University of Akron at Stile Athletics Field House.
Miami captured the top three spots in the gold division (top tier) 5000m run led by sophomore Anna Lamb (Granville, Ohio) in a personal-best 17:04.68, which ranks her fourth in school history, as she topped her previous best from earlier this year by nearly 20 seconds. It was also her first collegiate win. Classmate Melissa Girgis (Worthington, Ohio) took second in a personal-best 17:16.67, which ties for eighth all-time at Miami, while improving her best time by almost 25 ticks. Senior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio) then rounded out the top three in 17:34.23, also a personal best. The trio was running in a field of 24.
The RedHawks claimed the top two spots in the pole vault (blue division) for the second straight meet as junior Kori Tatman (Amanda, Ohio) took first, as she did last Friday at the Tom Wright Classic, while clearing 3.51m/11-6.25. It was her third first-place finish in five meets this year. Sophomore Taylor Brown (Hilliard, Ohio) was second for the second consecutive meet and third time this year also clearing 3.51m/11-6.25, but in more attempts.
In the blue division long jump, sophomore Jasmine Watts (Carmel, Ind.) took fourth with a season-best leap of 5.43m/17-9.75 in a field of 10, finishing behind a pair of jumpers from Pittsburgh and one from the host Zips.
Miami placed third in the distance medley relay behind Kent State and West Virginia as sophomores Alex Chitwood (Carmel, Ind.) and Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) and freshmen Megan Beaver (Brecksville, Ohio) and Laura Bess (Brownsburg, Ind.) combined to finish in 12:12.28.
The Akron Invitational resumes Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. with the blue division 3000m run while field events begin at 2:15 p.m. The meet concludes at 6:05 p.m. with the 4x400m relay. Links to live stats and live video are available on MURedHawks.com.

Curls at last.
By pattymac
from Oklahoma
About Me Minimalist
After losing all my hair to chemo I have enjoyed having several completely different styles of wigs. Since I had never had a curl to my name this one has been especially fun. The other wigs I have usually are off my head asap, but this one is comfortable and I tend to leave it on once I put it on. The first few days the curls were very tight and I could not get the "look" I wanted but by using a pick and wig "brush" I was finally able to get the look I want. When I wore it to a chemo session the husband of another patient could not believe I was wearing a wig--that's how natural it looks.

SEATTLE - The Snohomish Health District is reporting three people have died from flu in Snohomish County.
The dead include a Bothell woman in her 40s, an Everett woman in her 80s and an Edmonds woman in her 80s. All three died in late December in Snohomish hospitals and all had underlying medical conditions.
Earlier reports predicted this could be a bad flu season, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the data now confirms it. In the last week of December 2012, flu was widespread in 41 states.
State health officials believe the six influenza deaths reported across the state so far are likely just a fraction of the total, because only laboratory-confirmed flu deaths are reportable. All six reported flu deaths this season are in Western Washington.
Health Department spokesman Donn Moyer said there are likely more deaths where flu played a role but the person was not tested for influenza.
In late December, state health officials reported three other laboratory-confirmed deaths: a Pierce County boy under 12 years old, a King County man in his 80s and a King County woman in her 70s.
The Snohomish County Health Department says during the 2010-2011 influenza season, they received reports of 16 people hospitalized with influenza and there was one death. During the 2011-2012 season, 39 were hospitalized and there were two deaths. So in Snohomish County this season, to date, compared with each of the past two entire seasons, more people have been hospitalized for or died from influenza.
We may be facing the most severe flu season since 2009, said Dr. Gary Goldbaum. I urge everyone over 6 months of age to get an annual flu shot. It s still the best weapon we have to fight the flu strains that are circulating this year. Wash your hands often, stay home if you are sick, and cover your cough.
People at high risk of complications from the flu include young children, people 65 and older, pregnant women and women who recently gave birth, and people with certain medical conditions like asthma or diabetes.

RIDGEFIELD, Wash. -- Recent mass shootings across the United States, including the Clackamas Town Center shooting and the tragedy in Newtown Connecticut, prompted the Ridgefield School District in southwest Washington to hire armed guards.
Guards from the Spokane-based Phoenix Protective Corp. went to work this week at the district near Vancouver.
A lot of things are being stepped up, but I think that it's appropriate because we've never had this concern in this district specifically before, said Tyler Bieber, a senior at Ridgefield High.
The district also is encouraging students to ride school buses so their parents don't drive them. That's intended to reduce the number of adults arriving at a school.
The district had a city police officer patrolling full time until a grant ran out in 2010. Now the district will spend nearly $40,000 for private guards, new locks and other security measures in 2013.
Some, like Tim Kelly in downtown Ridgefield were skeptical about the idea.
There's incidents like what happened and then everybody jumps in and does something after the fact, he said.
Brooke Hatfield has a kindergartner in the district and likes the changes.
Its comforting. They're really trying to look out for our families and make us feel more secure, she said. Schools are still supposed to be welcoming to the community, so it's a fine line between security and making it a welcoming environment.

Perhaps it's a side-effect of Transmogrification, but Blizzard artists seem to be more willing to make "polarizing" sets with Tier 13. If you look at the reaction to the shaman and mage sets in particular, half the audience is "best set ever!" and the other half is "worst set ever!".
For the paladin set, I rather like it. It's been a while since we got a "knight in shining armor" set. Amusingly, if the paladin pops Avenging Wrath, she will seem to have six wings like a seraph.
I'm not sure I'd put it in the very top tier of paladin sets (T2 and T6) but it's definitely above average, and in the next group of sets.
One other nice thing about Transmogrification is that Ret and Prot paladins will be able to change their boots and belt to match the tier set.
The set bonuses have also been revealed:
- Holy, 2P -- After using Divine Favor, the mana cost of your healing spells is reduced by 25% for 15 sec.
- Holy, 4P -- Increases the healing done by your Holy Radiance spell by 20%.
- Protection, 2P -- Your Judgement ability now also grants a physical absorb shield equal to 30% of the damage it dealt.
- Protection, 4P -- Reduces the cooldown of Divine Guardian by 60 sec and increases the radius of its effect by 70 yards.
- Retribution, 2P -- Your Judgement ability has a 50% chance to generate 1 Holy Power.
- Retribution, 4P -- While Zealotry is active your abilities deal 12% more damage.

JRE 6 was released in 2006, five years after a major JRE version was released. For the past few years Java was looking stagnant, and many Java developers began to worry; this concern was amplified when Oracle purchased Sun.
We will try to discover if there's a big refactoring or maybe many features were added that can explain the time span between these two releases. In this first part we will focus on design and implementation changes, and the second part will focus on added features and breaking changes.
With JavaDepend we can compare two versions and detect any modifications concerning architecture, design or implementation. We can provide a summary of the changes using the following views.
Info View
JRE 7 has improved almost 10% compared to JRE 6. We noticed that the metrics ProjectCa and ProjectCe were decreased. When proofed with JRE7 there was less coupling between projects, and it's an indicator that a refactoring was made for this new release.
Class Browser
What's interesting with this view is that we can easily discover what's added (in bold), removed (crossed) and changed (underlined).
Dependency Structure Matrix
The Dependency Structure Matrix is a compact way to represent and navigate across dependencies between components. For most engineers, talking of dependencies means talking about the dependency graph. But the matrix can have the following advantages:
- Graph is more intuitive but can be totally confusing when the numbers of nodes and edges grow (a few dozens boxes can be enough to produce a graph that's too complex)
- DSM is less intuitive but can be a very efficient way to represent a large and complex graph. We say that DSM scales compare to graph.
After a comparison we can see what has changed - the sign (+) shows that a dependency is added, and the sign (-) indicates that a dependency was removed.

IMF's Lagarde sees improved world economic outlook
WASHINGTON (AP) — International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde says the threat of financial collapse in the global economy appears to have eased. But she is warning that developed economies still need to follow through on financial reforms and debt reduction.
In a news conference Thursday on her outlook for 2013 she said: "We stopped the collapse. We should avoid the relapse. And it's not time to relax."
Lagarde said that big economic powers, including the United States and European countries, had taken important steps to shore up their financial systems, but they have a lot of work left to do. She warned that there are signs of a waning commitment to regulate the financial sector despite the severe problems that began with the collapse of U.S. financial institutions in 2008.

|The Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology prepares students to conduct research, to serve on college and university faculties, and to provide a range of clinical services. The program adheres to the Clinical Scientist model of education and training, which is founded on the idea that the practice of psychology should be based on the science of psychology, and that practicing psychologists should be able to translate clinical observation into researchable questions and pursue new knowledge on the basis of their observations. Students are expected to develop an area of special expertise in research, and opportunities for specialized clinical training are offered. In addition to general training in clinical psychology, students may receive specialized research and clinical training in one of the following areas: Adult Psychopathology; Assessment; Child-Family; or Health Psychology.
The Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology is an intermediate degree required of students in the doctoral program.
With the interdisciplinary Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology–Gerontology, students develop a specialty in gerontological studies in preparation for doctoral work.
|Applications for admission are accepted only from holders of a baccalaureate who aspire to the doctorate.
The M.A. requires a broad undergraduate preparation; research experience; junior-senior scholastic GPA average of 3.0; and 18 semester hours in psychology, which include a course in statistics and a broad background in psychology. Students also must submit a statement of goals and motivations for pursuring a career in psychology, official transcript(s), scores from the Graduate Record Examination, and three letters of recommendation.
In addition to the requirements above, admission into the Ph.D. program requires an M.A. or M.S. in Psychology.
|M.A.: Requirements for the M.A. degree are at least 32 semester hours, which include a basic core of required courses, clinical practica, and a thesis. Additional courses are selected with the aid of an advisor. A limited number of courses outside the department may be credited toward the degree. No 50000-level psychology courses may be applied toward degree requirements for psychology majors. Students must complete at least 18 semester hours of course credits within an academic year.
Ph.D.: The doctoral program, with the M.A. as an intermediate degree, requires a minimum of four years of full-time attendance for holders of the baccalaureate degree. All doctoral students in psychology (regardless of area of specialization) complete a program of basic core courses and clinical practica, select additional courses and seminars with the aid of a faculty advisor, and complete a master's thesis and a doctoral dissertation. A limited number of graduate courses outside the department may be credited toward graduation. No 50000-level psychology courses may be applied to the degree program for psychology majors.
Doctoral program aspirants who do not hold the M.A. must complete all the requirements for the master's degree.
Clinical psychology students must complete a supervised traineeship in a faculty-approved mental health facility outside the department, which involves a minimum of 1,000 hours. Additionally, a 2,000-hour internship in a setting approved by the American Psychological Association is required.
The program requires full-time continuous enrollment including summers.
|Ph.D.: Students who have been admitted into the doctoral program will be considered for Ph.D. candidacy after they have met all requirements for the M.A. and have passed a qualifying examination in a major area of specialization in psychology. In addition, the department reserves the right to separate from the program a student who, in the opinion of a duly constituted departmental committee, is not likely to succeed professionally despite earning acceptable grades. Proficiency in a foreign language is not a requirement for a doctoral degree in psychology.
|The graduate programs in psychology are strongly research-oriented. Students are encouraged to become engaged in a variety of research projects.
M.A.: Students must complete a master's thesis.
Ph.D.: Students must complete a doctoral dissertation.
|Ph.D.: Approved by the American Psychological Association.

Therasuit Method Intensive Program (TMIP)
Occupational Therapy & Physical Therapy
What is the Therasuit Method® Intensive Program?
Therasuit Method Intensive Program (sometimes called TMIP) is an intensive individualized therapy program that accelerates functional progress. The program uses the Therasuit® (a soft canvas suit with bungee-like cords attached) and the Universal Exercise Unit ("Spider Cage") to allow the child to learn new & correct patterns of movement through strengthening and functional skills practice. The Therasuit Program is ideal for those looking to meet functional goals at an accelerated rate as compared to traditional therapy.
Goals of the Therasuit Progam
- Improve independence with activities of daily living (self-care, feeding & dressing)
- Improve body awareness
- Improve motor skills
- Improve balance and coordination
Program Overview
Therasuit Method Intensive Program is currently offered at our Main Campus and Brandon locations. TheraSuit Method trained occupational therapists and physical therapists use this approach to develop an individualized treatment plan for each child. TMIP includes a three-hour session, five days a week, for three weeks.
A typical session includes:
- Warm up and massage
- Tone reduction and sensory integration techniques
- Stretching & strengthening exercises
- Balance, coordination and endurance training
- Transfers, functional activities and gait training
Who is a Candidate?
- Children 2 ½ years and older
- Children with neurological conditions including Cerebral Palsy, developmental delay, traumatic brain injury, stroke, muscle tone disorders, spinal cord injury, Spina Bifida, etc.
- Children with sensory processing disorders
- Children with genetic disorders including Down Syndrome
- Children in need of post-op rehabilitation such as post tendon releases, botox, rhizotomy, etc.
How Do I Get Started?
- Contact All Children's Hospital Main Campus, 727-767-4257 or All Children's Specialty Care of Brandon, 813-436-5900 for an application.
- Obtain a prescription for Intensive Occupational Therapy & Physical Therapy five times per week.
Once We Get Started, What Should I Expect?
- The Therasuit Progam is 3-hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) for 3 weeks.
- Each session consists of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes each of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.
- Therasuit Progam sessions include the use of heat and massage as well as other therapeutic techniques to assist in stretching and strengthening the muscles.
- Therasuit Progam consists of three components: the Universal Exercise Unit, the Therasuit, and the "Spider"/Exercise Cage.
- Therasuit Progam is an INTENSIVE therapy program. This program WILL CHALLENGE your child, helping them to make maximal gains in strength and function in a short amount of time.
- WORK!! This is the key component of the Therasuit Progam. Your child will be monitored closely and given necessary breaks for rest and a healthy snack/drink as provided by parent(s).
- We have found in the past that children who participate in this program may initially respond with some resistance (i.e. crying and fussing). Although we monitor the child's response and adjust the progression of the program accordingly, we have found this to be difficult for some families. If this is the case, we may request that you leave the room for a period of time in order to help your child work through this stage.
- When not participating directly in therapy, you are welcome to leave the waiting room and visit locations within walking distance of our department. In order for us to have immediate contact with you at all times, you must have a cell phone on your person and leave the number with the treating therapist. For the first two weeks you are not expected to attend the whole session each day with your child.
- The last week of Therasuit Progam, the caregiver is required to be available to attend each of the final five sessions to receive instruction on a tailored home program for your child.
