Every blog in the entire frickin' Universe has an Iowa Prediction diary.
Why should ET be any different? Instead of giving percentages I will give my top 3 predictions and why I put them there. from the diaries. Use as a results thread when they come out. -- Jérôme Read more... (292 comments, 390 words in story) by ATinNM
This is an in-depth look at the Iowa caucus. Contained herein is more information than anyone outside of Iowa cares about, or needs. The primary (HA!) purpose is to provide a basis for understanding, in my opinion, a sterling example of participatory democracy.
I have attempted to highlight the most important parts of the process. The Iowa caucuses meet, precinct by precinct, to elect delegates and alternates to the county convention.

This diary was sparked by Jerome's diary Credit markets: "Don't panic", they beg and the ensuring discussion.
The bursting of the global liquidity bubble is only one of the affective factors the globe will be facing over the next umpty-umph years. Given my -- obsession? - with Models I thought it might prove interesting if we put our collective heads together and compiled a list of other affective factors and trends that we will be facing over the next 20 years.

This started life as a comment to an article posted by Fran in the Salon and got out of hand. From the Energy Bulletin:
With carryover stocks of grain at the lowest level in 34 years, [as of June 16, 2006, grain stocks rose in October 2006 to the lowest level in 25 years and have now fallen back again] the world may soon be facing high grain and oil prices at the same time.

Part II has the Resources and Operational overviews of the Information Base. This was broken-out from Part I to structure discussion and criticism. The description of the operation has been consciously made as broad as possible to encourage as many ideas as possible. Also, given the length of Part I, the shorter the diary, the better.
