Sean Strickland opens up on why the UFC title doesnโt mean anything to him
โNah itโs just a title. Let me tell you a superpower is gratitude. The moral is the more gratitude you have for the sun rising and the food on your table, if you you have gratitude everything is okโ

Iowa has a cancer problem..
Zach Lahn on Iowa's Cancer Paradox: Rural Outdoor Farmers Face Far Higher Cancer Risks Than Nevada - Despite Nevada's Top Smoking Rate and Iowa's Low Smoking & Active Lifestyle
- Zach Lahn states Iowa has "the fastest rate of new cancer of anywhere in the history of human civilization." The top 10 highest-cancer counties are all rural/ag-heavy counties (not urban areas like Des Moines). In the worst counties, lifetime cancer risk is 1 in 2.
- Statewide: Choosing to live in Nevada instead of Iowa gives you a 40% lower chance of getting cancer in any given year.
- Worst Iowa county vs. Nevada: Up to 70% lower risk in Nevada.
- Nevada has one of the lowest overall cancer rates in the U.S. - despite having the highest smoking rate of all 50 states.
- Iowa has very low smoking rates (far below Nevada's), yet one of the highest cancer rates.
- Lahn points out that rural Iowans/farmers spend their days outside getting physical exercise 12 months a year, Yet these same people have higher cancer rates than someone "working in a cube in Des Moines"
- Farmers as a group actually have lower overall cancer rates (thanks to outdoor lifestyle, exercise, lower obesity/smoking), But they have dramatically higher rates of two specific cancers: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.
Lahn ties these directly to chronic exposure to pesticides/chemicals from the dominant ag companies (Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta).

Congrats to Head Wrestling Coach Cory Stratton on being named the IWCOA 3A Coach of the Year. Stratton and his Assistant Coaches will be recognized prior to the IAHSAA State Finals on February 21st.
Now that @IGHSAU wrestling has gotten to be big time, changes are absolutely needed.
RRWโs situation is wild. It is crazy to think the 6th and 9th biggest schools in the state are allowed to be in a co-op. They also have a top level โ3Aโ and โ2Aโ school in the mix.
