Facts about teachers' salaries are all wrong
James Moran's March 23 letter about teachers and salaries is filled with so much that is wrong that it is difficult to know where to begin. To start with the outright errors, Mr. Moran states that teachers don't contribute to their benefit. In Guilderland, employees contribute 20 percent to their health insurance program. .
Senate Deciding Whether to Kill Humans; Waste Taxpayer Dollars
Why should our tax dollars be used to kill others to find cures that are already found in adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells? There are over 70 cures using these ethical use stem cells so why do we waste tax dollars in the billions of dollars to fund something that even the proponents of embryonic stem cell research admit may take even decades to find life saving cures?" Biblical Family Advocates, BFA, strongly encourages Americans to contact their Senators immediately and denounce this outrageous attack on human life and its incredible waste of tax payer dollars. As Mr. Magnan has stated in a California State Senate hearing in September of 2004 regarding the funding of ESCR, that he himself would refuse any medical treatment derived from embryonic stem cells as it would be highly unethical to benefit from killing others.

MDA considers next farm bill
Maryland Department of Agriculture hosted a workshop at its headquarters in Annapolis last month on the 2007 farm bill, inviting farm organizations representing every commodity and agricultural interest to participate. The meeting was co-sponsored by the Maryland Agricultural Commission, the Maryland Farm Bureau, The Maryland Grain Producers Association and the Delaware Maryland Agribusiness Council.
Mary Kay Thatcher, director of public policy for American Farm Bureau Federation said Congress is already working on farm bill legislation. "We wish the farm bill could be finished in September, but in some years, it’s not until December. There are no budget numbers yet," she noted, "and they can’t seriously write a farm bill without knowing how much money (will be allotted)." Thatcher added that six subcommittees will write the legislation, and they are all new.
Marker will recognize late Pike County farmer
PITTSFIELD, Ill. The late Earl C. Smith made a promise to his fellow farmers that helped shape agriculture in Illinois and the nation. "To the best of my strength and ability, I will serve what I believe to be the best interests of the farmers," Smith said in 1926. Smith focused on those interests as a charter member and president of Pike County Farm Bureau, as president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, better known as Illinois Farm Bureau, from 1926 to 1945 and as vice president of the American Farm Bureau Federation from 1936 to 1945. "Earl Smith was a big part of not just Pike County's heritage, but agriculture's heritage in the United States and in Illinois," Pike County Farm Bureau Manager Blake Roderick said. "He was one of the pioneers of Farm Bureau in Illinois, the foundation for building the organization into what it is today." A historical marker recognizing Smith's contributions to agriculture will be dedicated Friday on his homestead just east of Detroit.
South Africa: Warning of Tough Times As Consumers Keep Spending
South Africans will have to dig deeper into their pockets to service debt as the spending frenzy over the past few years slows down, according to Luke Doig, the senior manager, investments and economic services, of Credit Guarantee Insurance. "Unfortunately, rates are likely to ratchet higher; if not at the Reserve Bank's April monetary policy committee meeting then certainly in June and perhaps even again at the August meeting. One could then be looking at a scenario where debt servicing costs have risen some 24 to 28%. That has to come from somewhere," he said. .

So What's the Bad Word Today?
The glaciers are melting; the terrorists are advancing; Iran, after getting away with the kidnapping of 15 Britons, has begun enriching uranium; hardly anybody professes to like the president of the United States; Don Imus makes a bigger donkey of himself than he was by crawling to Al Sharpton, racial trickster extraordinaire, for forgiveness of a racial insult; and ... and ... I think that's enough for now. It isn't that nothing good goes on. A lot of good goes on. We merely tune it out. Or, as more often is the case, the media tune it out for us, understanding as they do the human love of the awful. We claim -- we, in the media -- not to be doing this. Instead, we claim just to be relating what's out there. Well, come on, bros. I've been in this business for nearly 40 years -- you can't fool me.
Local Medical Leaders Develop Plan for Physician-Owned Insurance ...
In response to the growing health insurance crisis, local medical leaders have developed plans to create The Physicians Assurance Corp. (TPAC). The intended goal of TPAC is to provide a fair, equitable, and shared insurance solution primarily owned and managed by local physicians for both the medical community and small employer members. "Group medical insurance premium rates are not stable for small employers, especially in the central Ohio market. It is not uncommon to see price increases two to three times the trend," said Dr. Alice Epitropoulos, founder of The Refractive Center of Ohio and board member of TPAC. "This variance leads to significant employer uncertainty and in turn, uncertainty to their employees." "Small employers see larger premium rate increases because they lack the purchasing power of larger employers.
