Policymakers are naturally unlikely to spend other people’s money as carefully as they would their own. This situation is exacerbated when local officials spend money obtained from federal taxpayers. At least when local taxpayers foot the bill, they have an incentive to keep an eye on how their money is spent. That incentive is largely nonexistent when the money comes from Washington. HUD community development programs illustrate what happens when the federal government severs the relationship between local officials and local taxpayers. Originally targeted to large cities in decline, community development funding is spread widely to communities rich and poor, large and small. Local of...

It was Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldier. In fact, as I type this I can hear it playing in my head. The funny thing is that the sound automatically took me back to my childhood. My cousins and I were sitting in someone’s living room. The radio was playing. That song was on. And my older cousin was sitting on this huge comfy chair while the rest of us kids were sitting on the ground. Why do I remember this seemingly mundane event? My cousin spontaneously began belting out the song, dancing to the beat and being as silly as a kid can be. We rolled on the floor and laughed until our sides hurt. It was a memorable moment. We were young, spontaneous and free. How does this relate to this week’s top post...

The local hospital is unveiling its new birth center, where every patient room will be equipped with an iPod docking station, a flat-screen TV and DVD player, a soaking tub, rocking chair and refrigerator — oh, and a place for the baby to sleep, too. Buffalo Hospital has spent $7.1 million to turn its old labor and delivery unit into a state-of-the-art facility to appeal to a new generation of patients. At maternity wards around the country, that increasingly means catering to patients and families as if they’re at “a luxury hotel,” ...

It seems New York politicians are running into a similar problem. According to an AP report, the state’s 100 richest taxpayers have paid $1 billion less than expected following a big tax hike. The story notes that several rich people have left the state, and all three examples are about people who have redomiciled in Florida, which has no state income tax. For more background information on why higher taxes on the rich do not necessarily raise revenue, see this three-part Laffer Curve video series (here, here, and here): Early data from New York show the higher tax rates for the wealthy have yielded lower-than-expected state wealth. …[New York Govern...

The driver says Alex is constantly getting up while the bus is in motion and refuses to behave during transport. One part of us finds this hard to believe: Though Alex is certainly capable of disruptive behavior (our family holiday dinners being People’s Exhibit A), he is and always has been a model traveller. Never a whisper of a complaint from any bus company (never a whisper of a compaint from the airline whose planes he once travelled on, either). One part of me, however, believes he’s getting older and more willful, and I can well believe he might be getting up, which is of course unacceptable. “You have to sit...

Grief grips my community here in Western New York. Nothing can come close to describing what anyone who lost a loved one so suddenly feels. My deepest sympathies go to the families and friends of those who perished. Most of us are not directly hurt by this tragedy but feel the effects of it nonetheless. For those of us who live in or close to Clarence, have friends and family who live here, anxiety can prey on us. Add to that the recent events on the Hudson, fear of flying issues, PTSD or sensitivity to panic attacks. Before you know it we’ve got the formula for full-blown anxiety. Let’s take care of ourselves so that we can function not only for ourselves but also for our loved ones, especially...

He had been complaining of hip pain, but the athletic Kemp hsa had aches and pains before, through his career as a Buffalo Bills quarterback and in his sports activities, like tennis. We”ll try to keep up-to-date with the story. A friend of mine  had her cancer diagnosed when she went in with hip pain, so it’s not uncommon. ~~~~~   Tags: former buffalo bills quarterback jack kemp, former congressman jack kemp, jack f kemp, jack kempShare This (Source: Cancer Commentary) Cancer Commentary blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2090223 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:36:47 +0100 2090223 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2021583&cid=t_114910_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2FhbCmjK5tZqQ%2F This is the last week of classes at the college where I teach; after finals, spring semester does not start till mid-January. It’ll be good not to have to rush around so much and to work more around home, and, certainly, not to have to hurry home on the highway to meet Charlie’s schoolbus. It does occur to me that, if I didn’t work, I could spare us a certain amount of anxiety: What to do when Charlie is sick? What to do if there’s an early morning meeting to attend or one in the later afternoon? What I do at work—-teaching Latin and ancient Greek and some administrative and advising duties—has little (obvious) relevance to what Charlie is learning and to what he needs. Some years ago, I thought seriously about becoming an autism teacher, so I’d be...

However, youngsters are familiar with time travel books so popular nowadays.  Why not do some time travel as you delve into these memories? Find places on a map that Grandma tells about.

One month ago we had a slightly anemic monograph template and a few bare-boned pages devoted to content development and management.One month later, here's our status:The University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has agreed to let P4 students on informatics rotations help develop PubDrug and two have completed their rotations. Another two will begin next week. This should continue throughout the semester.The first two full drug monographs, atorvastatin and amlodipine, are almost completed and undergoing final certification. A third monograph, esomeprazole, is being readied.From this work, the drug monograph template has been dramatically expanded.

This past month, they were both assigned to pharmacoinformatics clinical rotations. I was very fortunate to get to work with both of them -- They did amazingly complex and detailed work in developing the PubDrug monograph and creating the first two such monographs for the database.This afternoon, they finished off their rotation by presenting on all the amazing work they have done for PubDrug. I didn't record their presentation, but they were gracious enough to share their slides:I will have more to write about PubDrug later today.
