Cuomo unveils NY Works agenda
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - RELEASE: Andrew Cuomo today unveiled his NY Works Agenda, a comprehensive seven-part plan to revitalize the State's economy and get New Yorkers back to work. Cuomo announced the plan at Synacor, Inc., a global technology firm in Buffalo, where he outlined how to both revitalize and sustain New York's economic development.

"We used to be the global economic capital, and Western New York was once the gateway to America. With my NY Works Agenda and the help of business leaders throughout Upstate, we can open New York for business once again," Andrew Cuomo said. "Aiding business owners, retaining and creating employment opportunities, and investing in higher education are a central part of my plan to revitalize our economy. By taking the action outlined in my NY Works Agenda, we can create the jobs New Yorkers need and set our State on a path for long term prosperity."
The NY Works Agenda focuses on aggressive business development efforts, in particular:
- NY Open for Business, an initiative that will lower the costs of doing business in New York and improve access to the State's resources. The program will reduce taxes for new State businesses; lower New York's high energy costs through aggressive use of efficiencies and demand side reductions; reform other cost drivers like workers' compensation; get businesses much-needed capital; and create a new "one-stop" shop for businesses that provides access to economic incentives and reduces regulatory delays.
Creation of regional economic development councils that will review local development plans and award the most comprehensive proposals with State funding. Led by the Mayor Robert Duffy, who will serve as Chair of the Upstate Business Advisory Council, the councils will work with public and private economic development organizations, institutions of higher education and other stakeholders, the councils will incentivize programs that:
- Get New Yorkers back to work through strategic tax credits such as the "Jobs Now" tax credit will attract new businesses that hire unemployed New Yorkers, and an expansion of the recently enacted Excelsior program; and
- Make our public and private universities jobs generators by facilitating partnerships between colleges and universities and the private sector to support an innovation economy and redesigning technical and career education and workforce development programming.
-Create the "Rebuild-NY" Infrastructure Bank to pool and invest in New York's critical infrastructure projects that will produce jobs and improve the State's infrastructure that hampers economic growth.
"One of the many reasons I am so pleased to work with Bob Duffy is that he understands the issues facing the Upstate economy and has a proven track record in Rochester of bringing people together in an effort to find solutions and revitalize businesses," Cuomo added. "With his leadership, and the assistance of so many dynamic business leaders from across Upstate New York, we will continue our important dialogue about making our State the place to do business."
"I am eager to address the economic issues facing our entire State, and in particular, serving as Chair of the Upstate regional economic councils," Mayor Duffy said. "The challenges facing Upstate are unique and I know that Andrew Cuomo is committed to finding unique solutions to revitalize the Upstate economy."
Some highlights of NY Works Agenda include:
I. Make NY Business Friendly: "NY Open for Business" Initiative
- Control Spending. Get New York's explosive State and local government spending under control by imposing a State spending cap, vetoing State tax increases, incentivizing the consolidation of our more than 10,500 local governments, and capping local property taxes.
- Eliminate Taxes to Spur Growth. Eliminate the capital gains tax on investments in start-up and early stage companies.
- Reduce Business Cost Drivers. Reduce New York's high business cost drivers by completing the reforms to Workers Compensation, making it possible to achieve 20 percent savings in Workers Compensation expenses; and, enacting a permanent Power for Jobs program that reserves the benefits of low cost power for the Upstate manufacturers who need it to be competitive.
- Cut Through the Bureaucratic Red Tape. Cut through regulatory red tape and connect NY businesses with available State and Federal small business incentive programs, and ease the regulatory process by creating a one-stop "Business Express" and Incentive Finder.
II. Forge a New NY Economic Development Paradigm: Regional Economic Development Councils
- NY has tried regional councils that have not worked. We will forge a new model of regional councils that base economic development funding on performance by tying State incentives to the best comprehensive, long-term economic plans.
- Rightsize our Economic Development Programs. Coordinate the 115
local industrial development agencies, more than 600 local development councils, and 28 State agencies that deal with economic development by establishing regional public/private sector councils with higher education and other key stakeholders to develop long term, sustainable economic development strategies.
- Empower the Regional Councils to cut through the Albany bureaucracy so we can get things done. All the State agencies that impact economic development, including the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Transportation, the New York Power Authority and the Department of Agriculture and Markets, will be represented on the Regional Councils so we can break down bureaucratic silos and have the State speak with one voice.
- Mayor Duffy, as an Upstate leader with a record of working to improve the Rochester and Western New York economy, will serve as the Chair of the Upstate Regional Economic Councils.
- Reward Performance. Instead of simply providing State incentives, we will tie State funding to performance by making 2/3 of economic development funds subject to competition between regions to ensure that the largest opportunities Statewide have sufficient priority funding and placing.
- Provide Local Incentives. Allocate one-third of all economic development funds to control by the Regional Councils so they can quickly make decisions based on their local knowledge of the best opportunities within the region.
III. Targeting Incentives to Get New Yorkers Back to Work
- Enact an Emergency Tax Relief Program. Get New Yorkers back to work immediately, through a "Jobs Now" tax credit of up to $3,000 for businesses that hire new workers who have been unemployed for at least sixty days.
- Expand the "Excelsior" Tax Credit Program. Give qualifying businesses a tax credit equal to 100% of the income tax revenue NYS will collect from their new employees for 10 years; bases the amount of property tax credits on the value of the property after the business has made its investment, not before any value has been added to the property; and pays businesses their credits as interim milestones are achieved, rather than paying nothing until the final milestone is met.
IV. Make Higher Education Job Generators
- Establish Seed Fund to Turn Ideas into Jobs. Establish a New Technology Seed Fund to provide dollar-to-dollar matching funds for entrepreneurs who want to develop and market university-based research ideas.
- Create "Innovation Economy" Grants. Award grants through a competitive process to consortiums of higher education and industry in sectors that rely on large-scale research and development activity. The goal of the Innovation Economy grants will be to create a critical mass of economic activity, after which private investment will be self-sustaining and not require additional governmental support beyond that which is provided to all companies in the State.
V. Protect NY's Small Business
- Expand Access to Much-Needed Capital. Get capital and financing flowing again to small businesses by expanding the role of community banks, enhancing the State's Linked Deposit Program to include refinancing and providing targeted collateral and portfolio support to expand lending by private lenders.
- Expand Opportunities for Minority/Women-Owned Businesses. Adopt innovative programs such as Owner Controlled Insurance Programs to ensure that Minority and Women Backed Enterprises ("MWBE") participate in economic growth.
VI. Train a Workforce for the 21st Century
- A New Workforce Development Paradigm. Create a system that aligns the needs of high-growth employers with job-seeking, as opposed to the existing "supply-side" system that is organized around the skill sets of work-ready job candidates irrespective of whether there are jobs available in those fields.
- Better Workforce Development Coordination. Use the Regional Councils to coordinate the efforts of the State's workforce development and economic development functions that are now managed through a complex system of federal as well as State agencies, including the Department of Labor and the State Education Department, with the delivery of on-the-ground services provided by innumerable agents, such as local Workforce Investment Boards ("WIBs"), One-Stop Employment Centers, county social services departments, and educational institutions including Community Colleges and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services ("BOCES").
- Address the Critical issue of Youth Employment. Create a dual enrollment programs that allow high school students to enroll in courses at community college with a goal of increasing postsecondary access and success, particularly for minority and low-income students. These dual-enrollment programs are employed with great success and varying degrees of emphasis in 40 states across the nation, as well as in the CUNY system.
VII. Rebuild NY's Infrastructure
-Create the "Rebuild NY" State Infrastructure Bank. To maximize our infrastructure dollars, we
will create the Rebuild NY Bank that will use money received from the State or the proposed Federal Infrastructure as equity, and lever that equity to create a pool of funds for investment into economic development or transportation infrastructure projects. Projects conducted through the SIB will be eligible for Design-Build contracts, that have been demonstrated to reduce the cost of procurement by allowing for "value engineering" in the contracting process, and will facilitate the introduction of private capital and risk-sharing by the State in the construction of certain large projects, similar to what the Port Authority is now pursuing with respect to the Goethals Bridge project in Staten Island.
- Use Technology to Improve Efficiency. Improve efficiency of the State's transportation program through better technology that can reduce costs in such areas as bridge inspections, truck weighing and traffic lights.
- Reduce Bidding Costs that Drive Up Costs. Allow shared bids by local governments and the State to save on mobilization costs for contractors, thereby reducing costs.
In addition, Cuomo announced the creation of the Upstate Business Advisory Council. Chaired by the Mayor Duffy, the group will lead the NY Works Agenda discussion with business communities throughout the State. The Council includes:
Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions
Guha Bala, President of Vicarious Visions
Pat Barrett, former Chairman and CEO, Avis
Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO of Xerox

Also LMC saves strings in utf-8, while AMC uses the current Windows CP - which might yield some encoding problems with AMC on non-english texts. Does AMC allow explicit saveing in v3.3 format?

Holy clumps batman!!! I honestly have no idea why I continue to try out Clinique mascaras when the formulas are ALWAYS way to wet and they clump my lashed together. I guess the name 'high lengths' gave me those 'high hopes' that this mascara may be something different but it really wasn't. This mascara does give great length which is excellent but it clumps my lashes like its nobody's business. I look like I have about 3 lashes by the time I am done with this. Also it smudges. By the end of the day you look like a raccoon that woke during the day. I know this is a ridiculously silly complaint but the 'brush' of this mascara freaks me out cause it reminds me of a caterpillar. All in all I just would not recommend this unless you like living is clump and smudge city.
More reviews by StrawberryQueen
I don't think there will be any other mascaras that I'll hate more than this one. I have read tons about it on blogs that said how amazing it is and really lenghtens your eyelashes and how easy to apply and how it reaches to even the shortest lashes. So I had high hopes from this one. When I saw that it was on sale, I went for it and got it. I have medium long and thick and very straight lashes, so I used Shiseido's mascara base after I curled my lashes and applied my new mascara. My god, what a disappointment! My eyelashes never got so sticky before! I had to use a lash brush to get rid of the clumps and seperate the lashes that were stuck together. Maybe good for some people, but if you have eyelashes like mine, this one would be just a waste of money.
This is the best if you have stubby lashes! I used this and I had long, individual lashes that were to die for. A miracle in itself. I used this to point up on my lashes as well as the usual way we bring up the brush. I have tried everything! You may have to perfect your technique a bit, but then you will be rewarded. Please Clinique - do not discontinue!!

right now, this is my go to mascara. I have very short blonde fine lashes..everything going against me. For me, length is more important than volume. This macara is great at lengthening and fanning out your lashes. It is a wet formula, which I prefer and it will not volumize which is why I give it four lippies. I used to use l'oreal telescopic in carbon black, but this one is def better. This mascara does not clump unless you are not putting it on properly. It is about 5 dollars more than the l'oreal mascara, but it is def worth it. I got this mascara at sephora for 16 bucks in NY. It distributes beautifully over each lash. On nights out, I add a volumizing mascara on top of this and its incredible how great my lashes work. They almost look fake which is a hard look to pull off with lashes like mine. I would def recommend this mascara to people that need length.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It does provide length! Fantastic mascara. I like its brush very much! My lashes seem to be enormous. will repurchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I normally prefer mascaras that provide more volume than length but this one is really great!
First of all I like the long comb brush. It separates beautifully, the added length is awesome, very easy to catch every single lash and it never ends up loaded with extra unnecessary mascara. The consistency is wet and never clumps. I also love the curling effect: because the lashes are covered with a thin coat of mascara they remain weightless and hold the curl nicely.
I prefer to work when it's still wet, because if it dries and I continue to layer the eyelashes look hard and uneven.
The packaging is neat and simple but durable and practical.
The biggest con is that it comes of easily if you sweat or cry.
The overall effect is long shiny separated curled doll like lashes but not spider-leggy that remain pretty all day. Not for dramatic looks but it's a fav for daytime.
And if you layer it over volumizing mascaca for a night out it takes it to a whole new level!
What I like about it: a. the brush, although it's a bit tricky to use, I think it does a great job at lengthening the lashes and b. the fact that it doesn't smudge. What I don't like about it is that its consistency thickened after a month of using it. Now whenever I apply it I get clumps on my lashes.
I'm using the 3rd bottle of this mascara so far. What I want to achieve is naturally lengthened lashes. I stumbled upon this product coincidentally and ended up loving it!! It's so easy to put it on and take it off. It's very gentle that it won't pull your eyelashes. I took off one star because it sometimes clumps a little. I have to brush it out with my finger to remove tiny clumps. Other than that, it's a wonderful mascara to use everyday!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The unusual brush/comb just didnt work out for me.
After some time i learned how to apply it but still in the end I ended up using an old clean regular mascara brush to comb the lashes trough to get rid of the clumps.
On the other hand, it stayed put all day and didnt fall off.
More reviews by brownsugarncutie
This mascara is pretty good! It does not clump unless you put on more than three coats and does not smudge or run unless you get water on your eyes. It does not claim to be waterproof so I am not going to focus on that. It defines the lashes nicely while giving them some length. I wish it would lengthen my lashes a bit more but it is a pretty good mascara overall.

So, two things in this release.
I finally decided to fix the small bug that was plaguing the linux systems used as share (so most of NAS also). During these changes, I discovered an old and astonishing bug. The 4k cluster disk feature wasn't working at all ... (unless), neither for UL format games, nor for ISO games.
I wonder why nobody reported this ...
* CRITICAL FIX for 4K disk. It was broken since the beginning for both UL and ISO (2 bugs, one when checking for the cluster size for UL, and one for UL/ISO when patching the usb_cdvdman_irx)
* Fix for the ISO games filename extension that was required to be lowercase ".iso" (impact on Linux only). Now you can have any extension case you want.
So, I'd like you test this revision for the two above if possible.
Due to the changes, you should try (for the ISO extension fix):
1. delete/rename/run
2. for UL AND ISO games
3. on ETH AND USB devices
All combinations should be tested for regressions.
For the 4K fix ... you have to own one of those new disk that are formatted in 4k cluster size. Format it with 4k, install games and try to launch them.
If you have one recent disk that was failing with OPL, it is time to test is again ( by failing = OPL was listing the games, but running was failing).
Report here, thank you !

I agree that everybody should have a good travel Insurance (as I have already for over 30 years), but this does not mean that I need to subcribe this Insurance WITH A THAI COMPANY, as you can be sure that this Insurance will be overpriced, and the difference will go in "someone's" pocket.

Disc 28, hugo: I agree with your comments. I find it rather amazing that anyone would be against a government proposal of travelers being medically insured while traveling in Thailand. I do know from experience, you better have a policy from a reliable insurance company that works hand in hand with hospitals and doctors. I mentioned MEDEX because they have a very honorable reputaiton as a travel insurance company. They're also very user friendly.

Purchasing an on-line travel insurance costs the ridiculous amount of 2-3 euros a day. That makes 80-120 baht. Now, a drink in a disco at Patong beach is sold for 150-180 baht. Dear tourist, do yourself and others a favour: drink less, smoke less and get yourself a travel insurance!
Discussion 28 : 18 Mar 2013 at 15.4328
I am surprised to see a no majority. Maybe only because most of you dislike the present govt so much that you disagree with it even when they come up with a very reasonable proposal? I am sure you are the same people who, when a foreign tourist ends up in a Thai hospital and has not even a basic insurance coverage you think : there we go, yet another stupid farang without insurance, who is going to foot the bill now? Then you blame him for not having insurance, and if the Thai hospital refuses to treat him, then you will blame the hospital. Nothing ever pleases you.
Discussion 27 : 18 Mar 2013 at 08.1827
Disc 26, The Dark Side: There's a lot of folks who don't have medical insurance, but I'm sure that doesn't make them an idiot. The Health Ministry's proposal has merit because doctors and hospitals need to be guaranteed payment for their services. As one poster explained, travel medical insurance is available for everyone to purchase. For those foreign resident of Thailand, who aren't insured medically, a plan needs to be implemented so foreign residents are medically insured in country.
Discussion 26 : 17 Mar 2013 at 22.1726
Anyone who travels to a foreign country without medical insurance is an idiot. If Thailand wants to make it mandatory then so be it. If you can not get proper insurance then you are screwed. Simple as that. Not something you can blame on Thailand. It is probably the most forward thinking I have ever witnessed from this place.
Discussion 25 : 17 Mar 2013 at 20.2725
@Iannadad #20: This poll is about a travel and health insurance for tourists, not for long time residents. Tourists can easily get travel insurance without any medical test but it covers only emergency cases and no preexisting conditions – but they can get it.
If you are too old or if you have major preexisting conditions you won't get a private health insurance anywhere in this word - at least not one which covers everything everywhere. This is not specific to Thailand. There might be local exception but normally they don't cover any treatment outside the home country.Discussion 24 : 17 Mar 2013 at 20.1324
Disc 20, lannadad: This is why the Thai Health Ministry needs to post a list of those companies who are "user friendly," and willing to sell medical insurance to everyone. You're correct about age. A lot of companies are reluctant to insure you based on age and prior medical conditions. Maybe the Thai Health Ministry can come up with a system such as Medicare, or a system foreigners can pay into and be medically covered in Thailand.
Discussion 23 : 17 Mar 2013 at 19.2123
The Thai Ministry of Health needs to require all foreigners visiting Thailand, to have medical travel insurance and emergency evacuation insurance. The Thai Ministry of Heath should also post a list of companies who are authorized/recommended to provide the required medical insurance, or companies who will work closely with hospitals/doctors to guarantee medical bills will be paid, i.e., TRICARE has a $3,000.00 cap, plus the user must pay 25% of the bill. What if a traveler can't afford to pay the $3,000.00 cap, or the 25%?

Curiosity in people and the world has driven me to the internet, where it is in an unprecedented way changing the face of society. I enjoy understanding how systems function: from the technical side of a compiler, or modern web application infrastructure to how people function in groups (offline and online). As such, I always like learning new things.
I studied computer science, socio-informatics, business and marketing in undergrad. From there I went further with socio-informatics, passing it with cum-laude in 2011. I'm currently pursuing a masters degree in Socio-Informatics at Stellenbosch University through the help of the prestigious

text: This is hardly the final sighted scandal. Miss Donovan, a middle class lady in her fifth year, was sighted picnicking by the lake with a young man from the slums. Usually this would not be overly scandalous, as no impropriety was spotted, but there are rumors that Molly Donovan has agreed to marry this young man! Her family is not a poor one, and should be in an uproar over this arrangement. Have they completely lost control of their daughter ... or is it the fault of the school? Obviously Headmaster Black cannot keep your daughters safe or he does not care to.

Grapefruit & Oranges - Something bright and Sunny!

Could I use all oranges, do you think, or would that alter the acid level too much?

All oranges is ok with water. Just be diligent to get all the pith. It will leave the end product bitter. The grapefruit seems to offset that. I have seen people do more orange and throw in a few slices of grapefruit. If you decide to do it please send me a pic.

How did they come out? I'm thinking about putting up some grapefruit from my tree. When I freeze grapefruit, I have found an easy way to remove pith. First. I cut off top and bottom of peel so that it sets nicely on the cutting board. Then I cut off the outer peel, cutting downward in strips and remove even the membrane. Then I slice to remove segments from the membrane, section by section. Sprinkle w/ sugar and top with the juice made in the process.... and it's ready to freeze. I try to use 1 cup freezer containers for individual frozen treats. Partially thaw and enjoy.

You are required to keep a research-style laboratory notebook with duplicate pages and to record all your experimental conditions and original observations while working in the lab. This is required writing each week but it is minimally graded. The point is to form a good habit for your future scientific research work. The directions for keeping a laboratory notebook are given at the end of this document and you are encouraged to peruse the research notebooks from Linus Pauling (one of our most famous alumni) online at: http://osulibrary.orst.edu/specialcollections/rnb/index.html.
The written work required for this writing intensive course fall into the following types:
A. Full Written Reports include the following sections (the % numbers in parentheses indicate the portion of the mark of the report assigned to each section):
I. (10%) Introduction: Explain the objectives and rationale of the experiment.
II. (10%) Experimental: Briefly describe the instrument, summarize important reactions involved and changes from published procedure (sufficiently that a layman could understand what was done).
III. (15%) Results: Present your results in tabular and/or graphic form as appropriate. You may use printouts of sections of your spread sheet calculations but make sure that headings are provided so that it is clear what the numbers represent.
IV. (20%) Calculations: Use complete sentences to explain calculations. Give equations and sample calculations. If in doubt about a result, see the instructor before submitting your report. (Don't wait until the last minute!)
V. (15%) Errors: Give the standard errors from any least squares fits of your experimental data. Beyond this, briefly discuss where you can the likely errors involved in the measurements and their effect on your results.
VI. (25%) Discussion: This is the most important section of the report since it gives you an opportunity to show originality in thinking about the results and in offering your interpretations. Explain clearly the significance of the results and offer comparisons with primary literature values for data and results on similar molecules if possible. Answer all questions posed in the manual. Discussion of problems encountered and possible improvements or extensions in the experiment is encouraged.
VII. (5%) Primary and Secondary References: List primary and secondary references from the scientific literature (not the lab manual) used in the preparation of your report using journal style format (see for example, Chapter 6 of the ACS Style Guide).
Full reports should be complete but concise and conform to the normal standards of scientific journal papers. They should be printed with all necessary graphs, sensible portions of spreadsheet printouts etc. fully labeled and explained, with scientific reasoning and discussion. You will have the opportunity to revise some of your writing after the instructor has reviewed and commented on it.
B. Short Reports that encompass some fraction of a full report.
C. Spreadsheet Exercises.
D. Data Summary Sheets.
A passing grade requires successful completion of all experiments and all reports. All reports are individual efforts but during the lab meeting you will work in groups.
Grading emphasizes accurate measurements and detailed answers to questions posed in the lab manual. The overall grade for the course is based on the written laboratory reports as shown below.
Late reports will receive a 10% decrease in maximum points allotted per day late.
Project 1 - Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of CdSe Quantum Dots
Spread Sheet Exercise #1 (5 pts)
Experiment Report Form (5 pts)
Full Report (30 pts) TOTAL: 40 pts
Project 2 – Synthesis and Equilibrium Dynamics of HCl, DCl, DBr, and HBr

This is a Writing Intensive Course and satisfies the WIC requirement for majors in the Department of Chemistry. Students from other majors and graduate students who elect to take the course are expected to meet all course requirements, including writing. However, this course does not satisfy the WIC requirement for majors other than Chemistry. Because this is a writing intensive course, students will:
· use writing as a way of learning course material
· learn and practice writing as professionals in the field of scientific research/composition/education
· complete informal, ungraded or minimally graded writing assignments
· complete formal, graded writing assignments which are taken through the full writing process, including drafts and revisions
· receive and give peer feedback on writing in progress
· revise and polish at least 2000 words of writing (8-10 pages)
· complete a total of at least 5000 words of assigned writing.
Writing Guide for Chemistry should be consulted as an overall guide to professional writing in chemistry. It is free and posted on the departmental web (see http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/writing/WritingGuide2000.htm).
The ACS Style Guide, A manual for Authors and Editors, Janet S. Dodd, Ed., American Chemical Society, 2nd Ed, 1997, is a required text for this course. This is a reference on professional writing for chemists.

This is not really the case anymore - the Chinese have really cleaned up their act, not so much for environmental reasons, but because they can make more money due to better yields. The unprotected low-wage workers are still mostly unprotected, but they are very willing. They tend to be young men, as it is a common way for them to make their dowry money. Most are now employed taking apart assemblies piece by piece (they will, for example, unwind motors and transformers), with the nasty refining being done using modern machines. > Reminds me of Taiwan not so very long ago. Used wire was sent there > for copper relcamation. The method of removing the insulation > (usually PVC) was burning in the open air. Very wrong. Just about everyone these days, including the Chinese, use shredders with a water float tank to skim off the insulation. It is very cheap and the metal recovery approaches 100 percent. The burning method, used 20 or 30 years ago, wastes a huge amount of the metal to oxidation. Be careful what you read these days - there is a lot of untruths about the recycling industry overseas, with most of the views based on what was happening 20 years ago.

text: John Vogel Archives Email Author Northeast Crop Progress: Cool, Dry Weather Slowed Planting This week's rainy weather is bringing welcome relief for parched Northeast crops. Corn on track, but barley far ahead of schedule. Published on: May 9, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Dry weather was the rule across most of the Northeast last week, according to National Agricultural Statistics Service reports. As of May 5, the percentages of adequate to surplus soil moisture levels evaporated accordingly. Delaware/Maryland Everything was cool – as in cold – last week, slowing corn germination and pasture/hay growth. Top soil moisture levels were 98% adequate to surplus in both states, up slightly from the week before. Maryland farmers had 40% of their corn planted, compared to 44% for the five-year average. Delaware corn growers had 55% of their crop planted, just 1% shy of the five-year average. Barley and winter wheat were generally in good condition in both states. Maryland barley was 65% headed, compared to 43% for the five-year average. Delaware barley was 85% headed, compared to 43% for the five-year average. That suggests an earlier-than-normal harvest.SPLATS! Most farmers in the Northeast are looking forward to seeing a few more of these raindrops this week as compensation for a dry last week. Wheat, on the other hand, was only 22% headed in Maryland, compared to 52% for recent years. Delaware wheat was only 12% headed, compared to 45% for the longer term. New England This info via Extension, Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service reporters: Rain is the watch word. More of its needed as the six New England states reported zero precipitation. Top soil moisture up and down the region averaged 68% adequate to surplus, compared to 83% a week ago and 89% a year ago. Most reporters mentioned rain was badly needed. That spelled good planting weather, with 20% of silage corn planted, compared to just 5% for the five-year average. Sweet corn planting was 25% complete, compared to 15% for the five-year average. Potato planting hit high-gear in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, reaching 70% and 65%, respectively, compared to only 50% and 45%, respectively, for the five-year average. Potato growers in Aroostook County, Maine, were going slow at planting where frost was still in the ground.

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, in the United States are more likely to visit the hospital a second time in the 30 days following the cardiac incident than those in other countries, a new analysis in the Journal of American Medicine, or JAMA, has revealed.
The data was published last week in the medical journal, and stems from a clinical trial in which researchers were attempting to determine the efficacy of treatment with the drug pexelizumab in the thirty-day period following myocardial infarction and its impact on patient survival rates. But what Duke cardiologist Dr. Robb D. Kociol and his team discovered when they reviewed the data collected at more than 300 study sites across 13 European countries, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the US was that American patients would return to the hospital far more frequently during the 30-day study period.
According to the Los Angeles Times, we're actually messing up the curve when it comes to myocardial infarction outcomes, bringing down everyone else's average. The paper explains:
In all, 11.3% of patients who were discharged after suffering their heart attacks were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. The readmission rate for U.S. patients was 14.5%. For patients in other countries, it was 9.9%. Subjects in the United States had 68% increased odds of readmission versus people in other countries, the authors wrote.
So why do you think patients in the US are doing so poorly compared to those in other wealthy nations? It seems again to come down to our profit-centered health care system and resultant shorter hospital stays. While US patients that had suffered myocardial infarction spent a scant three days recovering in a hospital, those in Germany spent eight- and are likelier not to be re-admitted during that 30-day period. Researchers said the information was an "intriguing finding" when reviewing the study.
And what do doctors think needs to happen to correct this? They concede that "the U.S. health care system has features that can be modified to decrease readmission rates." Do you think it's time we implemented a single payer system in the US?
