The Murray family of Wheeling West Virginia faced a deadly winter flu season that left their six year old Eden dead and father Brandon hospitalized after a stroke. Public health officials warn of a second strain wave as influenza B rises while A declines.
The Iowa Department of Public Health says 185 people in the state have died of the flu as of February 24, up from 157 a week earlier. Health experts say the peak has passed and no child deaths have been reported.
The Gazette reports that Iowa public universities achieved a 49 percent four year graduation rate and a 72 percent six year rate across the University of Iowa Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa. The gains extend from 1997 figures and top national averages for four year public schools. Higher four year completion reduces student debt and accelerates degree attainment.
Graduation rates pertain to students entering four year public universities in 2009. The data tracks cohort completion over subsequent years, highlighting variations by state and institution.
Banks and credit unions clash over whether not for profit credit unions should pay more taxes. Iowa Bankers Association cites a large credit union profit and expansion as grounds for parity. A bill to tax them at the same rate advances as campaigns heat up.
