This is just a quick diary to let the community know that the Institute of Medicine has now released their new report on "Epilepsy Across the Spectrum: Promoting Health and Understanding". The live webcast of the committee just concluded, but I suspect they will continue to host the webcast.

Recently an epilepsy & seizure awareness group was formed. This is a diary in the series that will talk about origins and progress of the Epilepsy Research Benchmarks so that you can find out about what the research community is doing about curing epilepsy! Follow me past the little decorative symbol to find out about what's going on.

PLEASE HELP!

As mentioned in a few locations today, but not in a diary that I can tell, is the fact that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are looking at a combined budget cut of 2.4 BILLION dollars if HR 1 is passed.

And that is the WRONG approach. The scientific enterprise of this nation depends on these organizations to fund the labs of our scientists.

Apparently Phelps and his band of bigots areheaded to the land of Zion to protest not only Kevin Smith's newest film and Sundance entry, "Red State", but every other heathen in the neighborhood while they are at. These dangerous bigots are headed to Salt Lake and Park City today to protest an array of things.

No meta here. Just a call to action in a quick diary. Apparently, a new coal stripmine has just been approved to go in a mere 10 miles away from Bryce Canyon National Park. A national park belongs to all of us. Each and everyone. Currently, that is, before wall street buys out the national park service in a deficit reduction move and puts in condos.

More and better democrats. That's the deal here. So in Utah-02, we have a moral dilemma and with election day looming, i'm struggling with what to do.

It ain't easy being a progressive in utah, but there are a bunch of us. And we tend to gravitate to salt lake county, summit county (park city!) and grand county (moab!). Which makes us part of the second congressional district where we have the one and only democrat of our delegation, ole blue dog Jim Matheson.

hat tip to metamars over at docudharma for pointing me to something brewing in my very own congressional backyard.

the Utah Citizens' Candidate is a progressive movement that has had it up to here with our blue dog Jim Matheson (D-UT02).

And so they posted a Help wanted ad on Craigslist to find a better candidate! Hah!

So very often those of us in the little blue dot that is the progressive sphere of Utah have to defend our state against those who think we are all a bunch of republican losers. Well this story should put that idea to bed for awhile. Christine Johnson (D), a state representative who is featured today in a trib story is pregnant! Congrats to Christine you might think, but what's the big deal. Women in utah are always having babies!

Well, follow me over the jump to learn that Christine is having the baby for good friends of hers. A gay couple that cannot adopt, but want to have a loving family of their own.

Utah Pride has just announced that this year's recipient of the Pete Suazo Political Action award at this weekend's Pride festival will be none other than soon to be ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman! I think this is just amazing and wanted to share it with you. More after the jump!

While not an important issue of the day, I find it always helpful to have a laugh at the republican's expense. Two weeks ago we got to laugh about the fact that Jon Huntsman, republican governor of Utah, and potential GOP presidential candidate in 2012, was told to take a hike by the Kent County MI republican party due to his radical stance on civil unions. Eating their own v 1.0

Today, we get to laugh about the way Mark Shurtleff, ( Mr. "sure, bring your guns to campus") Utah state attorney general, 'announced' his primary challenge vs. Utah Senator Bob "bleh" Bennett (R).

By ACCIDENTALY twittering 1600 'followers' about his intentions! HAH!

And this my friends is welcome news to scientists and the public alike. Certainly if you have been paying attention, this comes as no surprise. The news here is that Obama made this applause line at his recent visit to the National Academy of Science (NAS) last week.

text of Obama's speech to the academy

I encourage everyone, especially the scientists in our midst, to look at that speech. Like so many others that Obama has given, it gives me chills.
