Seriously, the whole federal research funding situation is horrendous. I had a big NIH grant ($300k/yr for ten years) to develop antiviral technologies. Developed agents against HIV, hepatitis B, and SARS virus. Quit my previous administrative job to devote more time to the project, and then they cut off funding.
I'm lucky to still have one NIH grant (down from 3) for a very fundamental biochemistry project. But the feds have not been effective in investing in public health and bioweapons defense. Heck of a job, Georgie.

Gromit - if you think NSF funding is deranged, you should try NEH funding. All of the monies are going, as far as I can tell, to a handful of universities - more or less as permanent money transfers. The requirements are almost entirely organisational, rather than project based. The money has worked to create and then preserve very rigid terms of investigation - most of which are meaningless. But then, we knew that day was coming the first time an NEH grant demanded that an historian explain what the 'outcomes' of a research project were - before the research project was begun.

Just a point of information, correct me if I am wrong here. Hillary picked up four additional delegates in Texas and now it appears, Sen. Clinton's final net delegate haul out of her decisive win in Ohio was only 9 delegates. (TPM) so, her great day was a net gain of 13 delegates?

That isn't right.
(from a couple of threads down, on another topic entirely):
as it happens what we are doing now is abandoning horses, just like puppies and kitties. Ever since the last US plant processing horsemeat for food (pet or sale overseas) was closed, and the economy got tight enough, people who can't afford their horses any more have nother to do with them.
Nashville Tennesean had a story on it a week or so ago, regrettably now in pay archives.

from dead thread:
Nick: not everything docs do works. But most of it's tested, and works far more often than not. And naturopathy, homeopathy and others aren't nearly as soundly based in scientific and clinical investigation.
Now, I've been around long enough to have lived through a couple of major paradigm shifts. I was taught that duodenal ulcer disease results from hyperacidity, and that ulcer operations fail if acid production isn't sufficiently suppressed; I even taught medical students so. Then H. pylori infection was documented, fiberoptic gastroscopy became done almost casually, and surgery became close to unnecessary. All this happened because of scientific advance, and was adopted with breathtaking speed. Nothing, but nothing, in so-called 'alternative medicine' like this has ever happened.

Writes Alegre, in what is now the featured post on the site, one of the founding sound boards of the Democratic netroots movements:
"We are going on strike and taking our writing elsewhere. When and if our beloved community is once more a focal point for Democratic election discussions, we will gladly return." Alegre has set up "The American Federation of Concerned Bloggers (AFCB)" and has enlisted at least three dozen bloggers.
He writes:
.....Daily Kos and Markos himself no longer adhere to this purpose of electing Democrats. Daily Kos has become an Obama community and discussion of other Democrats is not welcome. We Clinton supporters are continually attacked and even threatened. The atmosphere has become so poisonous that we could do nothing else but take our discussions elsewhere. Places like MyDD.com where Clinton and Obama supporters chat without name calling. Heated discussions sometimes, but we tend to stay respectful of our fellow Democrat's opinions. Our post is currently up on the Recommended List so we must have tapped into something a lot of others have been feeling for quite some time.
The post has generated more than 1100 comments, many of them supportive. ( Finally Someone Fingers the Bolsheviks) Some of them are not. (Not I Clinton has tarnished the word progressive.)

I guess I need my own dissent-free space, too.
I think that a big problem over there is that people have been abusing the system. Don't like my candidate? I'll troll rate you. Meanwhile, I'll make sure that diaries that vilify your candidate get recommended and put at the top of the page. If one candidate happens more popular than another, then you end up with the sorry situation they've got.

Elias,
In 2004, the Tribune endorsed President Bush for re-election, a decision consistent with its unwavering support for the Republican Party (it has not endorsed the Democratic Nominee for President since 1872, when it backed Horace Greeley, a former Republican Party newspaper editor[7]). It has endorsed Democrats for lesser offices, including recent endorsements of Bill Foster, Barack Obama for the Senate and Democrat Melissa Bean, who defeated Philip Crane, the House of Representatives' longest-serving Republican. The Tribune also reported on the scandals surrounding Illinois governor George Ryan (a Republican) during Ryan's previous term as Secretary of State. The Tribune endorsed Ryan for Governor despite this reporting.
The Tribune has remained economically conservative, being widely skeptical of increasing the minimum wage and entitlement spending. Although the Tribune has criticized the Bush administration's record on civil liberties, the environment, and many portions of its foreign policy, it still supports his presidency while taking Democrats, such as Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, to task and calling for their removal from office.

Actually very thorough reporting. Rezko helped fundraise for Obama, (as he did multiple other candidates). Barack bought a house. Rezcos wife bought the adjacent lot. Rezco put up a fence. Barack bought the strip of land with the fence, paying Rezco what he paid for the land.
Rezco sold remaining land for profit. It is a nonstory.

In response to criticism that Ecuador harbors Colombian rebels, Ecuadorian President Correa has told Bush to either send troops or shut up.
"Mr Bush, bring over your soldiers, let your soldiers be the ones who get killed at the southern border with Colombia," Correa said two weeks after Bogota raided a Colombian rebel camp inside Ecuador killing a top rebel leader.
"Lets see if American citizens will accept such a tremendous barbarity. Otherwise, shut up and try to understand what's happening in Latin America," the Ecuadorian leader added.
Also Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday said Bush was clutching at straws in his criticism of Venezuela: "The head of the empire is getting desperate."
As to the possibility Venezuela may be included in a US list of states that sponsor terrorism, for its alleged links to the FARC, Chavez was a little more blunt: "Let them make that list and then stuff it in their ... pocket."
We already have all the info about this administration that we need.

From what I see and read and hear, it is the goal of this government to make sure that those of us that do not have money and power have absolutely nothing. We are being raped from the inside out. Hold tight to what you have.

Snow, whereabouts in SC is this front? Or should I go check a radar?
I'm gonna be spending half of tomorrow tracking down possible damage to historic sites, between Atlanta and now SC....damn this was a weird system. It went over us (w. TN) and we had flashes, booms and downpours from 1 a.m. to about 9, but no wind at all. Then in AL/GA/SC it blows up like this?
Why not? It worked out pretty well last time.

I used to hang out here under a different handle, and I thought this blog had readers who were thoughtful, civil, intelligent and able to discriminate between propaganda and reality. Guess I was wrong. I ask a question for which I want a serious answer and all I get is flip bullshit and an accusation of being a troll. What a fucking clueless lot. No wonder your country is headed down the toilet. Even the people who pretend to care about it are a bunch of shallow wankers. Enjoy your fascist theocracy. It appears that the old saw "you get what you deserve" applies here.

WaPo:
Sen. Barack Obama picked up seven more pledged delegates on Saturday as thousands of Iowans took part in county conventions, state Democratic officials said.
The delegates had been among the 14 won Jan. 3 by former senator John Edwards, who has since dropped out of the Democratic presidential race. Election-night projections showed Obama getting 16 delegates and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 15.
With the other seven standing firm for Edwards at the county conventions, and one delegate still unallocated, Obama's camp claimed 23 delegates from Iowa to 14 for Clinton.
"This is a very significant improvement for us," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters of the Iowa result. "We both fought as hard as we could here."
Plouffe said Obama's gains included blue-collar counties where he had finished third in the January caucuses.
The Associated Press reported late Saturday that, in final counts from California's Feb. 5 primary, Clinton picked up two more pledged delegates, and Obama added five. The result gives Obama a national lead of 117 delegates over Clinton, the AP reported
