- Dean - An Editorial Defending Dean's Iowa Caucus Speech (CBS News - Meyer)
"I'm not being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, honest. But I don't think Howard Dean's 'I Have A Scream' performance was weird, troubling, scary, revealing or nuts. I don't think it was a big deal in any way, shape or form. I thought it was standard pump-up-the-troops campaign stuff."
"What I do think is bizarre is the hubbub it caused."
"I've looked at the tape many times and that's how it plays for me. Sure, if he had done it during a State of the Union speech or an appearance before the Council on Foreign Relations, it would have been crazy. But this was a rally. So spare me."
"I've seen a lot of politicians do a lot weirder things."
"I wish Dean hadn't renounced the Scream. His wife said it was 'silly' and I think that's about the full extent of it." 1-04

- Sac and Fox Nation of Iowa (Healy)
"The peace chief is an hereditary title passed from father to son. His job was to settle disputes within the tribe and to be in charge of discussions at all council meetings.

He would be in charge of council meetings whenever war oriented topics were discussed. The third tribal leader, not symbolized in the flag, was the ceremonial leader or shaman. The shaman was the keeper of the religious rites and instructed others in the various rituals of the tribe." 10-04
- Ethanol from Switchgrass or Corn Stover (Iowa State University - Baker)
"The energy balance from corn, then, is slightly positive. However, ethanol can also be derived from another source, namely, cellulosic feedstocks such as corn stover or switchgrass. In this case, the energy balance is much improved, as shown in Table 1 of this paper by McLaughlin and Walsh. Their data show that while the energy gain from corn grain is 21%, the energy gain from converting switchgrass to ethanol is 343%!” Visitors sometimes spell as switch grass. 01-06

- -02-02-16 Iowa Caucuses Explained (Time.com)
"They’re sort of a cross between a normal election and a town-hall meeting, though the exact format differs for both parties. For Republicans, caucus-goers will go to a meeting where they will hear speeches from local representatives of the presidential campaigns, then cast their vote by writing the name of their preferred candidate on pieces of paper, which are then tallied and reported to the state party. Democrats will also go to meetings, but they’ll sit in different parts of the room based on who they support." 02-16
