The results don't prove that c-sections cause kids to put on weight, but Dr Jianmeng Liu, one of the authors of the study and a professor at Peking University Health Science Center in China, said the link between the delivery and obesity is important to keep in mind. "The potential health burden of obesity and other diseases associated with c-section births should not be neglected, even if its impact is modest," particularly given how often births happen that way, Dr Liu said. Previous research has tied c-sections to a variety of untoward health outcomes in children, including asthma, allergies and diabetes. How the study was done Dr Liu said the relationship between the type of delivery and obesity among kids hasn't been as clear. The research team collected the results from nine studies that included more than 200 000 people. People were 33% more likely to be overweight or obese if they were born by c-section, they reported in the International Journal of Obesity. The risk for childhood obesity in particular was somewhat higher - about a 40% increase over kids born vaginally. Dr Liu said the increase in risk was modest, but that it persists into adulthood. When the researchers looked just at the studies on adults, they found that those who were born by c-section were 50% more likely to be obese than those who were born vaginally. It's not clear why c-sections are tied to a better chance of being heavy. One possibility relates to the bacteria babies are exposed to when they are delivered vaginally, which might affect the way they process and store food, said Dr Liu. C-sections linked with lower concentration Additionally, Dr Liu added, researchers have suggested that c-sections are linked with a lower concentration in the umbilical cord of a hormone important in regulating weight and with a reduced rate of breastfeeding, "both of which are reported to be associated with an increased risk of later obesity." Babies who are larger than normal are also more likely to be born via cesarean, but most of the studies Liu's team analysed took into account birth weight. In the US now, one in four babies is born via c-section. Dr Liu said there's been concern that some of these are unnecessary, and given the potential negative impacts on children the unneeded ones should be curbed. "In clinical practice, (the) potential adverse impact of c-section should be considered by medical staff, and non-medically indicated elective c-section should be somewhat avoided, where possible," Dr Liu said.

Fun Direction: Harry Styles dons a Red Nose as he takes to the stage with 1D for Comic Relief
His bandmate Louis Tomlinson may have dyed his hair red in the name of charity.
But it was Harry Styles who stole the show as he kicked off their performance for Comic Relief on Friday wearing a Red Nose.
And despite the fun nose, Harry still managed to look every inch the cool pop star as he broke into their song One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks).
One Way: Harry Styles started his performance on Friday evening for Comic Relief wearing a Red Nose
Wearing a smart suit the curly haired singer put his all into his performance of One Direction's song, which is of course the official Red Nose Day single this year and is available to download on iTunes with the physical CD available to buy from Sainsbury' stores nationwide.
The rest of his bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson all got into the spirit of the evening by wearing various items of red clothing.
Following their performance, amid the screaming audience, Harry made a plea to everyone to donate.
Charity: The group's single is the official Red Nose Day single this year
In the red: Louis dyed his hair red in aid of the charity after a petition on Twitter
Theme: Niall may not have dyed his head or wore a nose but he did wear a red T-shirt
He said: 'If you are fan of us or not, please just donate anything you can.'
Earlier this year the band saw first hand life-changing projects supported by money raised through Red Nose Day fun when they made an emotional visit to Ghana.
Snippets from this trip are being shown throughout Friday night's show.
Heart and soul: Liam Payne put his all into his performance to encourage people to donate
Snazzy: Zayn wore a red jacket that had an air of Michael Jackson about it
Fans: The band went out into the audience to make their fans happy and very exctied
Big hair: Both Zayn and Niall both wore their quiffs very high for their performance
The boys' video diaries from their trip along with exclusive bonus scenes from their Red Nose Day photo shoot is captured in 'One Direction: Africa diaries', which is available to download on iTunes now.
As well as their single being for charity the clothes One Direction wore at this year's BRIT Awards have been donated to Comic Relief to sell on eBay.
Fans also have the opportunity to bid for a place in a box with catering at the O2 for their concert on 2nd April – there are 18 places available which has been broken down into three lots, each of which will come with a T-shirt signed by all 5 band members and worn by one of them.
Help: After their performance Dermot O'Leary and Claudia Winkleman asked One Direction to appeal to their fans
Plea: After their performance Harry asked those who were fans and those who weren't to donate money
With the PM: Before their performance a VT was shown of them meeting David Cameron
Visit: The band had an emotional visit to Ghana earlier this year to help raise awareness
Finally, bidders have the chance to get their hands on a brand new iPad and iPad cover signed by the band in a separate lot on eBay. You can support Red Nose Day by bidding now at www.ebay.co.uk/rednoseday and 100% of the final sale price will go to Comic Relief.
One Direction will forgo any royalties due to them and therefore will not receive any payment in connection with the official Red Nose Day single.
Syco, their record label, will donate 100% of its profits from the sale of each CD single and download to Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England & Wales); SC039730 (Scotland). This is expected to be £1 for each CD sold in the UK and at least 25p for each iTunes single download and 68p from every iTunes bundle download sold in the UK.
Shocking: Zayn Mallick had a hard time during their trip and was taken aback by what he saw
Teary-eyed: Harry couldn't help but hold back the tears as he met babies
Caring side: Despite being seen as a bit of a party animal Harry showed his sensitive side during the trip
More music: Tom Odell also performed on the live show on BBC One

March 21, 1974
A reader demands to know how I contracted the infectious conservatism for which he plans to horsewhip me. So if you have tears, prepare to shed them now as I reveal how my gloomy temperament received its conservative warp from early and prolonged exposure to the Chicago Cubs.
The differences between conservatives and liberals are as much a matter of temperament as ideas. Liberals are temperamentally inclined to see the world as a harmonious carnival of sweetness and light, where goodwill prevails, good intentions are rewarded, the race is to the swift and a benevolent Nature arranges a favorable balance of pleasure over pain. Conservatives (and Cub fans) know better.
Conservatives know the world is a dark and forbidding place where most new knowledge is false, most improvements are for the worse, the battle is not to the strong, nor riches to men of understanding and an unscrupulous Providence consigns innocents to suffering. I learned this early.
Out in central Illinois, where men are men and I am native, in 1948, at age seven, I made a mad, fateful blunder. I fell ankle over elbows in love with the Cubs. Barely advanced beyond the bib-and-cradle stage, I plighted my troth to a baseball team destined to dash the cup of life's joy from my lips.
Spring, Earth's renewal, a season of hope for the rest of mankind, became for me an experience comparable to being slapped around the mouth with a damp carp. Summer was like being bashed across the bridge of the nose with a crowbar -- ninety times. My youth was like one long rainy Monday in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Each year the Cubs charged onto the field to challenge the theory that there are limits to the changes one can ring on pure incompetence. By mid-April, when other kids' teams were girding for Homeric battles at the top of the league, my heroes had wilted like salted slugs and begun their gadarene descent to the bottom. By September they had set a mark for ineptness at which others -- but not next year's Cubs -- would shoot in vain.
Every litter must have its runt, but my Cubs were almost all runts. Topps baseball gum cards always struggled to say something nice about each player. All they could say about the Cubs' infielder Eddie Miksis is that in 1951 he was tenth in the league in stolen bases, with eleven.
Like the boy who stood on the burning deck whence all but he had fled, I was loyal. And the downward trajectory of my life was set.
In 1949 I reported for Little League, the teams sponsored by local merchants. My friends played for teams like Rasmussen Masonry Braves and Kuhn's Department Store Cubs. Their team colors were bright red and vivid blue. I was a very late draft choice of the Mittendorf Funeral Home Panthers. Our color was black. An eight-year-old could not face these fires without being singed, unless he had the crust of an armadillo, and how many eight-year-olds do?
Of the sixteen teams that existed in 1949, all have since won league championships -- all but the Cubs. And which of the old National League teams
was first to finish in tenth place behind even the expansion teams? Don't ask. Since 1949 the Cubs have lost more than 2,200 games. That's more than 6,000 hours of losing baseball. They never made me like losing, but they gave me superb training for 1964 when I cast my first vote for president, for Barry Goldwater.
My cruel addiction continued. In 1964 I chose to do three years of graduate study at Princeton because Princeton is midway between Philadelphia and New York -- two National League cities. All I remember about my wedding day in 1967 is that the Cubs dropped a doubleheader.
But the gentleman with the horse-whip should stay his hand. I share his fervent desire that I should quit writing about politics. I still hope to reverse the career pattern of James Reston, who began working in baseball but has sunk to writing a political column (for The New York Times). I hope to rise as far as he has fallen. I want to be a baseball writer when I grow up.
As the 1998 season began, the Cubs had lost 4,120 games since opening, day 1949, more than any other major league team. The second-losingest team in that space is the Athletics, who have lost 4,064.

Manatee school district assailed over case of 'double dipping'
Published: Monday, April 20, 2009 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 19, 2009 at 11:38 p.m.
At a time when teachers face layoffs and pay cuts, Manatee County School District officials bent the rules so one employee could pocket $260,000 in retirement benefits.
By "retiring" as the director of Manatee Technical Institute and then getting rehired into the same post, Mary Cantrell becomes a "double dipper," a government worker who through a loophole retires briefly and then collects a salary, a lump-sum pension payout and monthly pension payments.
But Cantrell never really retired, essentially breaking the rules of the loophole.
Instead, she ran MTI as a volunteer, collected her retirement payout and was then hired back after the district limited who could apply for her post.
While double dipping is allowed in Florida, this case -- and the practice as a whole -- is drawing criticism because some government employees are landing big payouts while others are losing jobs and taking pay cuts.
Officially, Cantrell retired Dec. 31. State rules require that employees stop working for at least 30 days before receiving a pension.
But during her seven-week "retirement," Cantrell kept her ID badge and continued going to her office, sending more than 300 e-mails listing her as director.
She officially got her job back Feb. 23 at a salary of $108,000 after district officials made a token effort to find a replacement. Cantrell will also receive a $4,000 monthly pension check starting next year.
School district leaders are unapologetic about allowing Cantrell to join about 9,000 other state workers who are double dippers.
Officials say Cantrell was not paid during her retirement and was a volunteer. School Superintendent Tim McGonegal said rehiring Cantrell does not affect teachers and other district workers facing layoffs and pay cuts.
"I feel for them, I really do, but why would I not hire the best technical director in the U.S.A.?" McGonegal asked.
But the sweetheart deal for Cantrell has triggered anger and charges that the system was worked to benefit Cantrell's bank account.
"The custodial worker who has to dump her trash at night, who had to take a pay cut, would rightfully be outraged," said Doug Martin, communications director for the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, whose members include janitors and bus drivers.
"Even though this is allowable by law, this is completely abusive for the School Board to allow this to happen."
Martin said Cantrell's involvement with MTI while retired should mean she loses her retirement benefits. He added that the district may have broken state law by leaving a volunteer in charge of public employees.
"I think the public has a legitimate question about whether this is flouting the intentions of the law," he said.
But cases like Cantrell's are unlikely to come under official scrutiny because when it comes to retirement rules, the state relies on government officials to police themselves.
"We don't have eyes all over the state, unfortunately," said Linda McDonald, a spokeswoman for the Department of Management Services.
No replacement ready
Cantrell pledged five years ago to retire in December 2008 by joining the state's Deferred Retirement Option Program or DROP.
On Dec. 18, nine working days before Cantrell's last day, the district advertised the job and closed applications Jan. 13, barely a week after staff returned from the Christmas vacation.
The job was listed for "internal applicants only."
The result: Cantrell was one of four applicants, two of whom were qualified.
District officials say they could have reappointed Cantrell without advertising the job and that the ban on outside applicants was a clerical error.
Cantrell's record as director easily made her the best person for the job, they said.
Since her initial appointment in December 1996, enrollment at the technical school has risen from 1,400 to almost 4,000.
The school has been five-time champion of a national competition run by SkillsUSA, a group that gauges students' work skills.
Cantrell said she wanted to carry on as director to finish several major projects, including the building of a new main campus.
She points out she took a salary cut of $11,000 to return and also forfeited 11 months of retirement checks as required by DROP rules.
She did accept the $260,000 lump sum payout, unlike former Manatee Community College president Sarah Pappas, who in 2003 gave up $300,000 after deciding to continue working at the school. Pappas said she did not feel comfortable taking the money when she planned to continue working.
Cantrell said she knew about Pappas but did not know how dropping out of the program would affect her pension.
"I will agree that it is an obscene amount of money," she said. "I looked at it as a way I could retire. I went into this not knowing there was any way I could come back. When I learned I could return, that was a dream come true."
Who's in charge?
Cantrell remained actively involved in running MTI during her retirement despite rules that state workers must retire for at least 30 days to qualify for retirement benefits.
She sent more than 300 e-mails from her MTI account including a Feb. 6 message to Gov. Charlie Crist thanking him for his veto of a cut in technical school funding.
In the message, Cantrell wrote: "my staff and I have worried about where else we would possible (sic) cut ..."
In another e-mail, Cantrell delegated work to assistant director Sue Downs. At the time, Downs was paid extra for working as interim director.
Cantrell said she was just helping out where needed during her retirement. Downs, the interim director, signed all checks and authorized invoice payments during her retirement.
McGonegal, the schools superintendent, said he was not concerned that a volunteer was effectively running the district's technical school.
When asked, he paused for a spell before replying, "Knowing the individual, it doesn't bother me at all."
State records show that most branches of local government and state offices including public defenders' offices, universities and city and county governments employ double dippers.
The Manatee school district has only a handful of double dippers. But more than 200 Manatee district workers are set to retire through the DROP program over the next five years. Combined, they will receive more than $27 million in payouts on their retirement, state records show.
Aubrey Jewett, an associate professor of politics at the University of Central Florida, said government workers have a strong incentive to make it easy for colleagues to become double dippers.
"Especially at a local level, there is the thought that a lot of people might want to take advantage of this someday," he said. "They don't push the legislature to change this and they are willing to allow people to do it in the hope they will be shown the same courtesy themselves."

The paper comes to the conclusion that album sales benefit from album leaks. [A]n album that became available in file-sharing networks one month earlier would sell 60 additional units. In addition the results also suggest that popular artists benefit more from file-sharing than newcomers and less establised artists.
Considering all model specifications, file sharing has a positive effect on physical and digital album sales. [A]n album that leaked one month earlier will receive 59.6 additional sales (p. 15). However, more established artists with two previous albums, both of which sold at least 100,000 units benefit more from file sharing than less established ones. The author speculates (
) that artists with established fan bases are positively predisposed toward the [new] album than younger and less established artists (p.19). In respect of music genres the file sharing effect on more popular genres such as pop, country and hiphop/rap is larger on less popular or niche genres such as folk, metal, jazz. In addition, major labels benefit more from pre-releases on file sharing networks than major-distributed indie labels, which outperform pure independent labels. Among the major companies Sony Music Entertainment benefits most from file sharing, followed by Universal Music Group, EMI and Warner Music Group.
not related to music, but it runs along the same idea.I think it's Gates who said he attributes the very success and marketshare dominance of Windows to pirated installations. Piracy established a user base who of course would want to use or buy it for their offices and workplaces purely out of familiarity. At the time it came out, all the graphical desktop operating systems were new and Windows, even as crappy and unstable as it was, beat out more robust and stable OS's such as OS/2 because Windows was familiar. Businesses are smart to keep using Windows because the learning curve for new employees is nearly non-existent. All this kept the money rolling through M$ doors for 30 years.

AM Alert: California plastic bag ban battle intensifies
And the bag fight continues.
Though the plastic bag ban slowly making its way through the Legislature this session was supposed to represent a workable compromise between the plastic industry and environmentalists, plastic bag makers are still trying to kill the bill with a late onslaught of opposition.
Last week, they launched a new television ad campaign attacking the proposal, which would require consumers to pay for heavier, reusable plastic bags at the grocery store. Now the lobbying effort comes to the Capitol.
Workers from California bag manufacturing plants and distribution companies will hold a press conference at 10:30 a.m. on the north steps to decry the proposed ban as a job killer and a cash grab by grocery stores. The bill, SB 270, is currently in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Warning: There will also be clowns – a dig at the "circus" of Sacramento politics – so coulrophobics, watch out.
VIDEO: Tax loopholes are making a comeback in California, Dan Walters says.
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER: California is once again climbing the ranks of the world's largest economies, but that doesn't mean all is swell in the Golden State. Gov. Jerry Brown says income inequality is holding back growth, while his detractors criticize a lack of jobs amid a supposed recovery. How can we get back on the right track? Public officials and the private sector will come together at the California Economic Summit Capitol Day, sponsored by California Forward and the California Stewardship Network, to discuss proposals to "advance prosperity statewide." Among those scheduled to participate in the event, which begins at 12:30 p.m. at the Sacramento Grand Ballroom on J Street, are Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside, and state Secretary of Food and Agriculture Karen Ross.
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT: Assembly members Wes Chesbro, D-Arcata, and Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, participate in a briefing on organic waste recycling as a tool for California's transition to a low-carbon economy, 4:30 p.m. on the west steps of the Capitol. Chesbro and Williams are currently sponsoring bills that would require businesses to divert their organic waste, such as food and grass clippings, away from landfills and require the recycling of more green material. The event, hosted by local organic waste disposal company CleanWorld, will also recognize companies and businesses that have been leaders in organic waste recycling.
ALLERGY TEST ACCESS: Alleging that laborious paperwork and reimbursement policies are interfering with Medi-Cal patients' access to necessary allergy tests, the Assembly Health Committee will hold a hearing on the California Department of Health Care Services' allergy testing policies, 1:30 p.m. in Room 4202 of the Capitol.
CELEBRATIONS: Happy birthday to Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, who turns 60 today, and to suspended state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, who turns 57.

The total wild population of the snow leopard is estimated at between 4,000 and 7,500 individuals. In 1972 the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, (IUCN) placed the snow leopard on its Red List of Threatened Species as "Endangered," the same classification given the panda and the tiger.
There are also 600-700 snow leopards in zoos around the world.
There are numerous agencies working to conserve the snow leopard and its threatened mountain ecosystems. These include the Snow Leopard Trust, the Snow Leopard Conservancy and the Snow Leopard Network. These groups and numerous snow leopard range country governments, non-profits and donors from around the world recently worked together at the 10th International Snow Leopard Conference in Beijing. Their focus on research, community programs in snow leopard regions and education programs are aimed at understanding the cat's needs as well as the needs of the villagers and herder communities impacting snow leopards' lives and habitat.

Is Gurney Man for Real?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 13 2014 5:00AM
This has got to be one of the strangest videos I've seen in a long time.
It happened in Virginia, and the video was posted a couple of days ago. A couple captured a guy - on video - strapped face down on a motorized gurney, navigating across a street and going through the drive-thru at a McDonald's.
If it was a stunt of some kind, you'd think that a video from Gurney Man's perspective, complete with audio, would have surfaced by now.
Which sort of makes you think that this is real life – very bizarre, but real life.
Keep your eyes open. You never know when you might be sharing the road with a hospital gurney – and I'll bet they have the right of way.

Old bearded iris bulbs
I found some old bearded iris bulbs in my moms attic. They have probably been up there 15 plus years. I have planted them with the roots down around a mound of soil and the tops barely covered with soil. The dried stalks are peeking up through the soil. When can I start to see growth and green in the stalks....if ever. Any tips for me to get these old irisis to grow and bloom?
if it were me, I'd call or write to schriener's iris for some iris rhyzome booster food for next year, it couldn't hurt. you don't want it for now, because it wouldn't help thru the winter. by next spring you should see some new growth on your iris. as long as you have root, you have flowers. any idea why they were hidden in the attic so long? maybe your mom didn't like them but didn't want to get rid of them either. if they still don't grow by say july, then they are not going to, but it's worth a try. they have probably been waiting for some dirt to be in for years. hope they do well for you now.

Maputo, Mozambique, 19 November 2007 - His Highness the Aga Khan arrives in Mozambique 's capital city, Maputo, on Tuesday, 20 th November, for a 4-day official visit, at the invitation of the President of the Republic, His Excellency Armando Guebuza. During the visit, the Aga Khan will meet with members of the Ismaili Community and high level Government officials.
This visit is amongst many such visits that will be undertaken by the Spiritual Leader of the Ismaili community, since he completed 50 years as the Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims in July of this year.
The Commemoration of His Highness the Aga Khan's Golden Jubilee began on 11th July 2007 and will continue until 11th July 2008. During this year, the Aga Khan will visit some 30 countries where the Ismaili Community resides and where the Aga Khan Development Network operates. He will use these occasions to recognise the friendship and longstanding support of leaders of state, government and other partners in the work of the Ismaili Imamat, and to set the direction for the future, including the launching and laying of foundations for major initiatives and programmes.
Fifty years ago, at the age of 20, the Aga Khan succeeded his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, as the 49th hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. In the Ismaili tradition, the Imam's Jubilee celebrations offer occasions to launch new social, cultural and economic development projects.
In 1998, a Development Co-operation Agreement was signed between the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and the Government of Mozambique, which established the AKDN's mission in Mozambique, and laid the framework for AKDN's development activities in the country, and thereby the extension of its presence in the East African region.
The Aga Khan Foundation has been actively present in Mozambique since 2000 and has, since then, been working in Cabo Delgado, the northernmost province in Mozambique and one of the most vulnerable in the country. Its programmes enhance the livelihoods of populations, through inputs such as agricultural technology, aid to fisheries and social services, increasing economic growth and socioeconomic development of the rural and coastal communities in the province.

His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims, comprising ethnically and culturally diverse peoples living in over 25 countries around the world. He is the founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.
The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is a group of private, non-denominational development agencies working to empower communities and individuals to improve living conditions and opportunities, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. The Network's nine development agencies focus on social, cultural and economic development for all citizens, regardless of gender, origin or religion. The AKDN's underlying ethic is compassion for the vulnerable in society. Its annual budget for philanthropic activity is in excess of US$ 300 million.

New year, new media controversy. This week's Media Talk hears from Richard McKerrow of Love Productions, producers of Channel 4's Benefits Street – which prompted almost 800 complaints to Ofcom – on why he thinks it's crucial to make important issues entertaining.
John Plunkett is also joined by Steve Ackerman, managing director of Somethin' Else, and Lisa Campbell, editor of Broadcast, to talk new year's resolutions and catching up on Christmas TV.
Also, the Guardian's very own Gill Phillips, director of editorial legal services, gives us a dummy's guide to the Defamation Act 2013, which came into effect on 1 January.

Just more than two weeks after Election Day, a New York State assembly race in the Hudson Valley has an unofficial winner.
A New York state Assembly race in the Hudson Valley has the incumbent declaring victory and the challenger not conceding.
In the 106th Assembly District, incumbent Democrat Didi Barrett has declared victory over Republican Challenger Mike Kelsey. Barrett says she looks forward to adding to her victory with the counting of absentee ballots. Barrett's lead is by about 100 votes. Kelsey, a Dutchess County legislator, is not conceding, saying the race will be decided by absentee ballots. The district includes portions of northern Dutchess and Columbia Counties.
ALBANY – Hudson Valley Assembly Members Frank Skartados (D, Milton) and Didi Barrett (D, Hudson) have expressed their concern over a rate hike at Metro-North train station parking lots.
The two lawmakers wrote to MTA and Metro-North officials saying the hikes are unfair to families, especially those struggling to make ends meet.
They said the rate hike and an earlier recent one, "create an unfair burden for Hudson Valley families who rely on the MTA," said Barrett.
New York's Legislative Ethics Commission released a report Wednesday from the state's Joint Commission on Public Ethics. The report focuses on sexual harassment allegations against Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez and details a number of charges.
Democrat Didi Barrett represents the 106th Assembly District, which includes portions of Columbia and Dutchess Counties.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has renewed his call for Lopez to resign. Barrett, who has long advocated for women and girls, has other concerns.
ALBANY – Legislation proposed by Senator Terry Gipson (D- Rhinebeck) and Assemblywoman Didi Barrett (D- Hudson) would provide Thruway toll tax credits to farmers who use their vehicles to transport their products.
The measure would allow farmers to claim a tax credit equaling 75 percent of Thruway tolls paid for the transport of goods and services during one tax year. The credit would be applicable for travel for the purpose of selling within 150 miles of a taxpayer's farm, roughly the distance between New York City and Albany, said Barrett.
