The United States has double the amount of oil and three times the amount of natural gas than previously thought, stored deep under the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, according to new data the Obama administration released Tuesday. In announcing the new data in a conference call, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell also said the administration will release within weeks draft rules to regulate hydraulic fracturing, technology that has [...] Battery maker A123 Systems vowed thousands of new jobs when it received a nearly quarter-billion-dollar stimulus grant in late 2009, but federal job-tracking figures show only a few hundred positions were created before the company joined a growing list of federally backed energy businesses that ended in bankruptcy. The latest quarterly report on file with a federal stimulus tracking database shows just seven positions created through the grant from April to June this [...] he U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventionsays there has been a 40 percent increase in the number of West Nile virus cases in the United States since last week. The virus was first reported in the U.S. in 1999. According to the CDC, this is the worst West Nile virus outbreak ever in the United States, with 1,590 cases reported so far in 2012. Sixty-six deaths have been reported so far. Except [...] While the national unemployment rate paints a grim picture, a look at individual states and their so-called real jobless rates becomes even more troubling. The government’s most widely publicizedunemployment rate measures only those who are out of a job and currently looking for work. It does not count discouraged potential employees who have quit looking, nor those who are underemployed — wanting to work full-time but forced to work part-time. For that count, [...] In a blow to judicial prudence and common sense a South Dakota federal appeals court ruled 7 – 4 that it was indeed legal to require doctors to tell abortion patients the day before their procedure that they will be at risk for suicide. The warning of suicide that doctors are now forced to give has never been medically or scientifically proven. Because of this, opponents call it nothing but a scare [...] As if we need any more proof that reckless spending and high taxes impede economic growth, CNBC’s new survey, America’s Top State for Business, is an indictment of progressive economic policy. It finds that Texas – for the third time in five years — is the most accommodating state for business. And it’s no mystery why. We already knew that Texas, which, over the years has instituted a number of free-market economic [...] In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in [...] A blind Native American, 69, is accusing staff at a local hospital of negligence and racism after he emerged from open heart surgery with scars all over his body which appeared to spell out KKK. Vernon Traversie, from Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota, had a heart attack last August and was rushed to Rapid City Regional Hospital. After surgery he was in a lot of pain. Mr Traversie said he [...] By FERMIN LEAL / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER About 22 percent of California’s eighth-graders tested on a national science test passed, ranking the Golden State among the worst in the nation, according to figures released Thursday. Scores from the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the Nation’s Report Card, show that too few students have the skills that could lead to careers in the field, educators said. Nationally, 31 percent of [...] Teen births fell again in the United States in 2010 – with nearly every state seeing a decline since 2007. The state with the most teen births was Mississippi with 55 births per 1,000 teenage girls, according to the report by the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention department. However even that state has seen a drop of 21 per cent over three years. Nearly every state saw a decline in teen [...] Ever wonder how much money you’d have to make to feel content? Or think you’d be happier if you could just make a few thousand dollars more each year? The Wall Street Journal reports on a study that shows you can put a dollar figure on happiness:
The magic income: $75,000 a year. As people earn more money, their day-to-day happiness rises. Until you hit $75,000. After that, it is just more stuff, with no gain [...] 1. Claim: 119,000 jobs would be created and $7 billion will be spent of the Pipe line. Fact: A total of 2,500-4,650 temporary jobs would created. But most of those jobs are in Canada. Only 500 to 1,400 local Temporary jobs would be created in the US: M>South Dakota = 333 2. Claim: 20,000 jobs will created in manufacturing. Fact: All the steel manufactured for the pipeline will be [...] A scorching weekend across the Plains and upper Midwest — including 100-degree temperatures and withering humidity from Texas to South Dakota— was a feel of what’s forecast to be a dangerous heat wave across most of the central and eastern USA. Some of the warmest temperatures so far this summer are forecast this week for the big cities along the Interstate 95 corridor [...] Claudine Zap Meet John Rolczynski: The Grand Forks, N.D., resident has been trying to tell his legislators that an error in the state’s founding document means that technically, North Dakota is not a state. Sounds like the ravings of a grumpy old man, but as it turns out, Rolczynski was right. News of uncertain statehood has put North Dakota in the spotlight and garnered big [...] by Glenmoredoc1 Federal Spending in Each State Per Dollar of Federal Taxes State Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes Red or Blue in 2008 Presidential Election Gov. Dennis Daugaard has signed into law the controversial abortion bill that requires women seeking an abortion to wait 72 hours and consult with a counselor at a pregnancy help center before the procedure. Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of South Dakota said they will file a lawsuit immediately. “Our legal team has determined that [...] by PharmaCan A good place to look for government spending cuts would be in those states that have traditionaÂlly received more government revenue than they pay in taxes, which, coincidentÂally, happen to be GOP strongholdÂs. Democrats in the Senate should sponsor a bill that requires spending cuts to take place first in those states that receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes. If the republicanÂs want to cut spending so [...] Maryland, Massachusetts, Vermont, D.C. most Democratic; Wyoming, Utah most Republican PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup’s analysis of party affiliation in the U.S. states shows a marked decline in the number of solidly Democratic states from 2008 (30) to 2010 (14).
