1. -08-30-05 Record of 46 Million Without Health Care (ABC News)
   "The number of Americans without health insurance rose by 800,000 last year, reaching a record high of nearly 46 million, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday."
   
   "Officials blamed the increase in part on the continuing erosion of workplace-sponsored health insurance. A majority of Americans still get their coverage by sharing costs with their employer, though a smaller and smaller percentage of American jobs are now accompanied by medical benefits." 8-05

2. Corn Stover Yield (NREL.gov)
   "Corn Stover, the material remaining on the surface after the grain is collected, is the largest underutilized crop in the U.S. About 250 million dry tons, dt, is grown annually, triple the amount 50 years ago. Removing the excess after soil erosion needs are met can reduce the need to till, increase farmer income and provide 100 million dt or more for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials."
   
   "One pass harvest of both grain and stover, wet storage and rail transport to the processor appear to be advantageous, with a delivered cost of $30/dt while returning more than $30/acre net income to the farmer." 06-09
