Cyclones' win in Ireland brought a flood of great coverage. Oh, how fun to come out of that with a huge W,
This bill would not hold up in court. Democracy isn’t easy folks. But openness must be defended.
Proposed bill would block 'vexatious' citizens from accessing public records iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023… via @IowaCapDispatch
I suppose the battle has been lost as we all try to “impact” things against all rules of English, but someone tell CBS News it is heart rending, not heart wrenching.
Well let's hope the latest Iowa State Cyclone "surprise," the loss of a starting quarterback to a gambling scandal, at least brings us the next Brock Purdy off the bench...
When jargon is just plain silly. CNBC on Weight Watchers being overweight, apparently a good thing: WW International — Shares of the weight loss company soared more than 18% after an upgrade to overweight from Morgan Stanley.

. @ChadLeistikow does a good job of assessing departing University of Iowa AD Gary Barta's record. But I would have skipped the "family man" stuff. This guy is a disgrace and the university stood by him way too long. Details below.

This has never been an easy issue. What is a waterway? How often must it have water to qualify as a waterway? Which waters are significant enough to be protected? In the drained prairie of Iowa, this is a big issue. And the environmentalists lost.

Here is proof of Iowa's low risk of earthquakes. Fortunately for the chambers of commerce, this graphic doesn't get into tornadoes, derechos, ice storms, floods, mosquitos, Lyme disease, a four-year plague of wandering politicians, or corn rootworm.

This is happening because ag interests know that water quality in most of the Mississippi River system is getting worse, not better. But without this data, the questionable and voluntary Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy cannot confirm any improvement.

More pressure on a mouthy but well-informed scientist/blogger who riles up farm interests by telling the truth about Iowa's ag-related pollution. This kind of stuff has gone on in Iowa for decades. Look up my "Ag Scientists Feel the Heat" series.

What's sad about this proposed legislation is that Iowa farmers should WANT these sensors. If we can't measure progress, we'll have to assume that that the current trend of worsening nitrates in the Mississippi continues. tinyurl.com/2p8tncwv

Hey CNN and everybody else: What's happening in the skies are "near-hits" not "near-misses." As George Carlin said, a collision is a "near-miss."

It turns out plastic pollution is way worse than we thought. My company's NewRoad® asphalt additive, made of waste plastic, creates a mix that keeps plastic out of the environment.

I love this jab. "BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF next year join the current men’s and women’s 10, thanks to realignment that started when Texas and Oklahoma decided two years ago they’re too good for the Big 12." desmoinesregister.com/story/…
