New Financial Literacy Survey Reveals Top Financial Concerns ...
As Financial Literacy Month begins, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and the Network Branded Prepaid Card Association (NBPCA) have released the results of the 2013 Financial Literacy Survey. In its seventh year, the survey annually provides data and trending around Americans? attitudes and behaviors related to personal finance.
?This year?s survey results provided somewhat of a mixed message,? said Susan C. Keating, president and CEO of the NFCC. ?More than one in four consumers indicated they are spending more than last year, yet 77 percent admitted to having financial worries, listing insufficient savings as their top financial concern. While consumers moving out of recession mode and becoming more comfortable with spending is positive for the nation?s economy, they need to be mindful of the fact that increasing spending without a safety net in the form of savings could have a negative impact on their personal economy.?
Regarding consumer responses around financial concerns, respondents were asked which areas of personal finance currently worry them the most, and were allowed to select multiple responses, with results as follows:
1. Not enough savings ? Overall, 57 percent of Americans indicated they are worried over a lack of savings, including forty-three percent who are concerned about not having enough ?rainy day? savings for an emergency, and 38 percent concerned about retiring without having enough money set aside. Although fairly evenly divided, the data suggest that having enough money to resolve daily emergencies takes precedence over the longer term retirement planning.
2. Not being able to pay financial obligations ? A total of 26 percent of U.S. adults, or roughly 61 million people , were worried about servicing their debt commitments, including concerns around paying credit card debt (13%), repaying student loan debt (8%),
an inability to make monthly vehicle payments (7%), and not being able to pay off existing medical debt (6%).
3. Health insurance ? One in four U.S. adults (25%) are worried about health insurance ? either not being able to afford it (19%) and/or not having any (17%).
4. Credit ? While 19 percent were worried about their credit score and/or lack of access of credit overall, 16 percent were anxious about their score, with nine percent concerned over their lack of access to credit, suggesting that consumers continue to realize the importance of credit in their lives. However, most adults have neglected to review their credit report (65%) or score (60%) in the past year.
5. Job loss ? Eighteen percent, or more than 42 million Americans , indicated fear of job loss as a major concern, a number that is disturbingly high.
6. Foreclosure ? As the least of consumers? concerns (among those listed), a comparatively small four percent of Americans are worried over losing their home to foreclosure, undoubtedly a positive signal for the housing industry and the economy as a whole.
The good news is that 20 percent of U.S. adults indicated they do not have any financial worries, a strong sign of consumer confidence.
Remaining stubbornly consistent over the past three years, 40 percent of U.S. adults gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance, thus it is not surprising that nearly four in five (78%) agree that they could benefit from additional advice and answers to everyday financial questions from a professional.
There is ample opportunity for consumers to improve their level of financial literacy and take steps to resolve their financial problems. Although the plurality of U.S. adults indicated that, if they were having financial problems related to debt, they would first turn to their friends and family for assistance (28%), a similar number (27%) also said they would reach out to a professional nonprofit credit counseling agency for help, demonstrating a high level of confidence in the value of credit counseling.
"The Network Branded Prepaid Card Association (NBPCA) was excited to partner with NFCC again this year for the annual Financial Literacy survey. Consumers continue to choose prepaid cards for convenience, safety, and security. The new findings revealed that 24 percent of prepaid customers said prepaid was their only option, and 71 percent indicated they wish they had the opportunity to enroll in overdraft protection for unexpected situations," said Kirsten Trusko, president and Executive Director, NBPCA.?"When managing their money, convenience and safety were once again some of the top reasons cited by the 6 percent of Americans who typically use prepaid debit cards to pay for everyday transactions. Further, 81 percent said prepaid cards were a better value and cost less than using a credit card or debit card attached to a checking account"
Other prepaid card findings include:
?Four in five prepaid debit card users (81%) feel more in control of their money with a prepaid debit card than a debit card connected to a checking account at a bank or credit union, and more than two in five (43%) strongly agree.
?Those who regularly use prepaid debit cards do so primarily because they are convenient (59%). Nearly half (46%) say prepaid debit cards are safer than carrying cash, and two in five (40%) cite the inability to overspend. One in four (24%) say they use prepaid debit cards because they have no other payment or banking options.
?More than one in four (28%) say their prepaid debit card currently offers overdraft protection and 68% said they would feel more at ease using their prepaid debit card if it offered draft protection. 71% indicated they wish they had the option to enroll in overdraft protection.

Kaiser Permanente
OAKLAND, Calif., April 1, 2013 Chicken pox, the childhood affliction of earlier generations, has been largely neutralized by the varicella vaccine, according to a new study by the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, which appears in the current online issue of Pediatrics.
The 14-year study followed 7,585 children who were vaccinated in 1995, when they were 12 to 23 months old, to assess the long-term effectiveness of the vaccine and the impact on the epidemiology of varicella (chicken pox) and herpes zoster (shingles). Researchers also observed the impact of the second dose of varicella vaccine, introduced in 2006.
The varicella vaccine was licensed in the United States in 1995, and recommended soon after by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for routine administration to children. Prior to that, chicken pox was ubiquitous, with more than 90 percent of young people experiencing infection by the age of 20.
Over the entire follow-up period, the incidence rate of chicken pox in this cohort was 9 to 10 times lower than corresponding rates in unvaccinated children of the same age in the pre-vaccine era. This resulted in an overall vaccine effectiveness rate of approximately 90 percent.
"Clearly, the vaccine is a very effective tool in preventing or limiting the severity of chicken pox in young people," said Randy Bergen, MD, chief of outpatient pediatrics at Kaiser Permanente's Walnut Creek Medical Center and a pediatric infectious disease consultant. "As with any vaccine, though, the rate of vaccination has a huge impact on effectiveness. The more children vaccinated, the more effective the vaccine is for the entire community. At Kaiser Permanente, our use of a comprehensive electronic health record, KP HealthConnect, enables us to quickly identify children in the targeted age ranges who have not been vaccinated, and to reach out to their parents to ensure they get the shots. Keeping vaccination rates high confers benefit on the community as a whole because there are fewer children who can contract and spread the virus."
A total of 1,505 breakthrough cases of chicken pox were reported within the study cohort of 7,585 children in the 14 years following varicella vaccination. "Breakthough cases" are so named because they occur despite the child having received the varicella vaccine; the virus "breaks through" the defenses afforded by the vaccine. Cases were classified as "mild" (less than 50 lesions), "moderate" (51 to 300 lesions) and "severe" (more than 300 lesions). Very few cases were severe (only 28 of 7,585 children over 14 years), whereas in the pre-vaccine era most children experienced severe symptoms. Prevention of moderate to severe disease was achieved with one dose of varicella vaccine; no cases were reported after the second dose.
The incidence rate of breakthrough varicella steadily decreased over time and no increase was observed during the 14 years of follow-up. The apparent increase in the vaccine's effectiveness over time, according to lead author Roger Baxter, MD, co-director of the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, "is likely the result of vaccine failure occurring early, while breakthroughs became rare due to high vaccine effectiveness both directly and through herd immunity."
The continuing decline in breakthrough rates observed in 2008 and 2009 may have been the result of the implementation of the second dose in 2006, researchers said. The second dose of varicella is typically given at ages 4 to 6 years. However, it could potentially be of more benefit if given early after the first dose if varicella is circulating by increasing protection for infants too young to receive the vaccine and immune-compromised children who cannot receive a live vaccine.
The risk of herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles, was not increased in vaccinated children, and appeared to be lower in vaccinated children than in the pre-vaccine era. There were 46 confirmed cases of shingles among the cohort, suggesting an approximately 40 percent decreased incidence of herpes zoster in vaccinated children.

Technology department to search each student's computer
Above, a computer screen containing illegal content is shown. The technology department will be searching students' computers for similar material. "The whole thing seems too dramatic," said junior Lizzy Wells.
Monday, April 8, the technology department will be collecting every student?s laptop from the 1:1 initiative for mandatory software updates. During first block, all seniors and sophomores are required to pass in their computers to the media center, and during third block all juniors and freshmen must do the same. Students are to pick up their laptops after school on Thursday, April 11 in the media center.
In addition to the software updates, the technology department will be using LanSchool to review all browsing history and downloads as recommended by other schools who have participated in the 1:1 initiative.
This is to ensure students are using their laptops for educational purposes and not for inappropriate or illegal activity, which would violate the WHS Acceptable Use Policy that every student signed upon receiving their laptop.
The technology department will specifically be looking for illegally downloaded music and games. They will also be searching for sites providing illegal movie or television content. Additionally, they will be looking for inappropriate web history, specifically pornographic sites and sites that reference drugs or alcohol.
Browser history of websites that do not censor content, such as Reddit and Tumblr, will be considered a violation of the WHS Acceptable Use Policy. This offense will be viewed as the highest degree of transgression.
Students should be aware that going ?Incognito? on Google Chrome, ?Private Browsing? on Safari or clearing their browsing history will not conceal their online actions. The technology department will view students? history on each computer?s hard drive.
The school is liable for students who violate the law while using their computers. For this reason, the technology team feels it absolutely necessary to be aware of any misconduct by students on their laptops.
?Students who use their laptops like they?re supposed to have nothing to worry about,? said technology specialist Mary Barber, ?They?ve done nothing wrong.?
If a student is found to be violating the WHS Acceptable Use Policy, which outlines the school?s expectations and guidelines for the 1:1 Initiative, he or she will be suspended for a number of days proportional to the severity of his or her offense and lose the privilege of having a laptop all together for a period of time. If the severity of a student?s misconduct is great enough, he or she will be expelled from WHS.
If the student who has violated the WHS Acceptable Use Policy is a senior, the colleges that have accepted that student will be notified. The schools will be encouraged to revoke admission, but it is ultimately their decision.
?Honestly, I?m scared because it?s unclear what the school considers appropriate or inappropriate use of the internet,? said junior Ashley Shuman.
In the week leading up to the software update, teachers are encouraged to use LanSchool to track their students during class and make sure they?re on task.

Congestion in Earth's mantle: Mineralogists explain why plate tectonics stagnates in some places
Mar. 31, 2013 ? Earth is dynamic. What we perceive as solid ground beneath our feet, is in reality constantly changing. In the space of a year Africa and America are drifting apart at the back of the Middle Atlantic for some centimeters while the floor of the Pacific Ocean is subducted underneath the South American Continent. "In 100 million years' time Africa will be pulled apart and North Australia will be at the equator," says Prof. Dr. Falko Langenhorst from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany). Plate tectonics is leading to a permanent renewal of the ocean floors, the mineralogist explains. The gaps between the drifting slabs are being filled up by rising melt, solidifying to new oceanic crust. In other regions the slabs dive into the deep interior of Earth and mix with the surrounding Earth's mantle.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system, conducting such a 'facelift' on a regular basis. But the continuous up and down on Earth's crust doesn't run smoothly everywhere. "Seismic measurements show that in some mantle regions, where one slab is subducted underneath another one, the movement stagnates, as soon as the rocks have reached a certain depth," says Prof. Langenhorst. The causes of the 'congestion' of the subducted plate are still unknown. In the current issue of Nature Geoscience, Prof. Langenhorst and earth scientists of Bayreuth University now explain the phenomenon for the first time.
According to this, the rocks of the submerging ocean plate pond at a depth of 440 to 650 kilometers -- in the transition zone between the upper and the lower Earth mantle. "The reason for that can be found in the slow diffusion and transformation of mineral components," mineralogist Langenhorst explains. On the basis of high pressure experiments the scientists were able to clarify things: under the given pressure and temperature in this depth, the exchange of elements between the main minerals of the subducted ocean plate -- pyroxene and garnet -- is slowed down to an extreme extent. "The diffusion of a pyroxene-component in garnet is so slow, that the submerging rocks don't become denser and heavier, and therefore stagnate," the Jena scientist says.
Interestingly there is congestion in Earth's mantle exactly where the ocean floor submerges particularly fast into the interior of Earth. "In the Tonga rift off Japan for example, the speed of subduction is very high," Prof. Langenhorst states. Thereby the submerging rocks of the oceanic plate stay relatively cold up to great depth, which makes the exchange of elements between the mineral components exceptionally difficult. "It takes about 100 Million years for pyroxene crystals which are only 1 mm in size to diffuse into the garnet. For this amount of time the submerging plate stagnates," Langenhorst describes the rock congestion. It can probably only diffuse at the boundary of the lower Earth mantle. Because then pyroxene changes into the mineral akimotoite due to the higher pressure in the depth of 650 kilometers. "This could lead to an immediate rise in the rock density and would enable the submerging into greater depths."

Teen driver arrested after Nevada crash kills five family members
Nevada Highway Patrol / AP
Jean Soriano, 18, has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in a southern Nevada crash that killed five members of a California family and injured the suspect and three other people.
?
By Martin Griffith, The Associated Press
Five members of a Southern California family were killed in southern Nevada when their van was rear-ended by an 18-year-old driver who was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.
The five dead were among seven family members who were in the van, authorities said. The other two ? the 40-year-old female driver and a 15-year-old boy ? were hospitalized in critical condition.
The van was carrying a couple, their children and some aunts and uncles, he said. Killed were three men in their 40s, a teenage female and an adult female.???
Jean Soriano of California was booked into the Clark County Detention Center after he was treated and released at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson said.
The crash happened at about 3 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 15 near the Utah line. Soriano's sport utility vehicle struck the van from behind, causing both vehicles to spin out of control and roll near Mesquite, some 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, investigators said.
A 23-year-old passenger in Soriano's SUV was treated at the hospital and released.
Authorities believe Soriano was returning from a visit with family in Utah to his home in California at the time of the wreck, Hixson said. They didn't immediately release his hometown or the names or hometowns of the victims.
Beer bottles were found in the SUV, Hixson said, and troopers performed a blood-alcohol test on Soriano at the hospital. The results won't be known for a couple of weeks, he said.
Hixson said only two of the seven people in the van were wearing seat belts. The five who were not buckled in were ejected, but one survived.
"Unfortunately, so many in the van weren't wearing seat belts, and some might have survived had they been wearing them," Hixson said. "We see it so many times where people can survive simply by having a seat belt on."
