Iowa caucus attendees not far from national voters study says

Iowa attendees are slightly more liberal, better educated, and better off financially than average voters, with 37% college graduates and 61% at least slightly liberal.

Geraniums mark seasons of time in Monticello home
Mabel Tuetken, 86, and her husband William E. Tuetken tended geraniums on a rock porch for 70 years since the 1917 Lang house era. She notes weather and heat affect blooms, but hopes Indian summer or winter protection will revive buds. The flowers began with Clara Lang, first owner’s widow, who planted them in a rock porch and rock garden that has become a family legacy.

Led by Douglas Feil, the program builds on the college’s wastewater treatment courses and is partly funded by $140,000 in U.S. Department of Education grants. Beginning fire brigade training has been one of the early offerings as the center expands its preparedness training for area industries.

Gifted Girls Lag Behind Boys in ACT Scores Study
University of Iowa researchers Barbara Kerr and Nicholas Colangelo report that among perfect ACT scorers, boys outnumber girls four to one in math and five to one in natural sciences. They link early goal loss in gifted girls to later declines in ambition and sociological pressures. The study, part of a paper on perfect scorers, aims to illuminate why gifted girls falter and to guide future research and classroom support.
