WASHINGTON — Targeting Colorado's U.S. Senate race as a top political priority, energy companies and environmental activists are pumping money into Bob Schaffer's and Mark Udall's campaign coffers.
Environmental groups from 2007 through June gave more money to Democrat Udall than any other Senate candidate or incumbent nationwide, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Udall's campaign took in $116,324 from the Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters and other green groups through their political action committees. Udall's total is nearly double that of the next closest Senate recipient.
Oil and gas interests are backing Republican Schaffer. Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and others through their PACs funneled $104,900 into his campaign. Schaffer's contributions from oil and gas groups rank ninth for all Senate races.
Oil and gas companies gave Udall $15,500.
"It speaks to their records and what they're known for," said Jennifer Duffy, who analyzes Senate races for The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan publication.
"It says something about the focus on Colorado, generally, in this election," Duffy added. "It's a targeted state."
Spreading donations around
The oil and gas industry ranks 16th among the 80 biggest industry campaign contributors, according to opensecrets.org. This cycle, it has given $19.
Environmental groups rank 71st, giving a total of $1.4 million, with Democrats receiving 92 percent of that.
Energy interests spread money around because they know it works, said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for watchdog group Public Citizen, which advocates public financing of races. "The whole point of these campaign contributions is to buy influence," Holman said.
Environmental groups, Holman said, tend to back candidates who've voted in sync with what they want.
Told of the contributions, the Schaffer and Udall camps each accused the other of supporting just one side of the energy issue.
"Boulder liberal Udall and his environmental-extremist allies want to kill domestic energy," Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams said. "So, of course, entities that are in the business of developing oil resources are going to support someone like Bob Schaffer, who doesn't put his head in the sand."
Udall spokeswoman Tara Trujillo said that the contributions reflect a choice between exclusively favoring oil and gas companies or backing the "new energy economy," which includes renewable sources.
"The oil companies know that Bob Schaffer is a one-trick pony that will always put their interests ahead of Coloradans," Trujillo said. "Mark Udall's always supported a comprehensive energy plan."
Udall on Wednesday reversed his previous opposition to offshore drilling, saying it now should be part of the energy solution.
Exxon Mobil in a statement said its PAC funds "are designated for candidates who favor the strengthening of the free-enterprise system and hold views consistent with the best interests of Exxon Mobil Corp."
Environmentalist contributors see the Senate race in Colorado as a choice between opposites, said Cathy Duval, national political director for the Sierra Club.
"Mark Udall has been a real champion on environmental issues," Duval said. Schaffer, a former U.S. congressman, "pretty much voted against the environment anytime anything came up when he was a member of Congress."
Republicans reap more
In addition to Udall and Schaffer, oil and gas interests gave $29,300 to Mike Coffman, the 6th Congressional District GOP candidate; $27,500 to U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, a Colorado Springs Republican; $26,800 to U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Fort Morgan Republican; $11,700 to U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Golden Democrat; $9,800 to Jared Polis, the 2nd Congressional District Democratic candidate; and $8,750 to U.S. Rep. John Salazar, a Manassa Democrat.
Neither the environmental PAC money nor the oil and gas totals include funds given by alternative-energy groups.
Senate candidates square off, clam up in third debate
The third debate in the race for Colorado's open Senate seat on Thursday included four candidates: Democrat Mark Udall, Republican Bob Schaffer, Green Party candidate Bob Kinsey and the candidate for the American Constitution Party, Doug "Dayhorse" Campbell. Co-sponsored by the Rocky Mountain News, KBDI-Channel 12 and News4, the debate will be broadcast on KBDI at 8 tonight. Here are some of the highs and lows. Michael Riley, The Denver Post
Bob Schaffer
High point: Schaffer, a former congressman and energy-company executive who has been hammered by opponents as "Big Oil Bob," pointed out that it's his Democratic opponent who is now suddenly calling for more domestic oil drilling. "You're presenting yourself as 'Big Oil Mark,' " he said. "Paris Hilton is more consistent on energy than you are."
Low point: Schaffer, who carries a piece of solar film around with him on the campaign to tout his support for renewable energy, was asked if he had solar-powered energy installed at home. "We have windows at our house," he said.
Mark Udall
High point: Even as he was attacked for switching his position on offshore drilling, Udall persuasively argued that difficult times call for new ways of thinking, even for one of the strongest environmentalists in Congress. "To suggest that times haven't changed and that we all need to look at a different way of proceeding is twisting the record," the Colorado lawmaker said.
Low point: Udall was asked about the specifics of a fundraising event and other campaigning that kept him in Colorado recently, making him miss a House vote on a resolution to send Congress to summer recess without an energy bill — despite a promise he made to vote against the resolution just a few days earlier. He didn't answer the question.
Bob Kinsey
High point: As the Democratic and Republican candidates fought over their willingness to support more domestic drilling, Kinsey took them both to task: "They are trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. . . . Have you seen the photographs of the Arctic ice cap? In five years, it will be gone for the first time in 16 million years," Kinsey said. "We've got this addiction (to oil), and the addiction is going to kill us."
Douglas Campbell
High point: "My Democrat opponent says that the Rep (Schaffer) is a hand-in-the-till, corporate fat-cat elitist. He doesn't deserve your vote, and you shouldn't vote for him. My Republican opponent says the Democrat is a tree- hugging, tax-and-spend big-government elitist. He doesn't deserve your vote, and you shouldn't vote for him. I say you should listen to them."

Most of the music that came out of L.A.'s glam-rock explosion during the '80s was largely disparaging toward members of the fairer sex -- despite the fact that most of the men from that era went to great lengths to portray a feminine image. Chicks in bands just didn't exist on the Sunset Strip back then, and when they did, the guys who were pillaging their wardrobes usually overshadowed them. Vixen was one of just a few female acts who displayed some metal muscle under their garter belts and makeup. As hard as the ladies rocked, though, they still ended up taking a back seat to the fellas and quietly faded into obscurity after releasing a self-titled debut in 1988. Nearly two decades later, though, the playing field has been leveled, and most of those groups are playing the club circuit -- only we're guessing that the sirens of Vixen look a helluva lot better in spandex than their male counterparts these days.

The Saints and Parys Haralson have agreed to a one-year contract, the franchise announced.
Haralson came to New Orleans in a training camp trade this past August when it looked like the Saints were going to have depth issues at outside linebacker because of injuries.
He played in all 16 regular season games, starting eight of them, and finished with 35 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
The 49ers drafted Haralson out of Tennessee in 2006 and played in 102 games with San Francisco. He had 25 sacks with the 49ers.

From Staff and Wire ReportsAs this year's session of the state Legislature winds down, the state's budget writers are furiously working to come up with a compromise bill for the 2005-2006 budget year. House members and senators assigned to the six-member conference committee have haggled over $3.5 million in local spending projects approved by the House in its version of the budget bill, but quashed in the Senate. But as that work continues off the floor, lawmakers in both chambers have this week busily passed the other's legislation, despite threats to hold up bills over the budget. Monday will be the 38th day of the 40-day session, though some have predicted lawmakers may call it quits before the constitutional cutoff. Among legislation approved this week is another round of the state sales tax holiday set for July 28- July 31. Lawmakers along the state's borders say the holiday encourages out-of-state shoppers to spend money in border cities and the boost to the economy off-sets any loss of tax revenue. Exempt items include mainly school-related clothing and supplies and computers. The bill heads to the governor's desk. Senators passed a version of a bill that would let Georgia's public colleges and universities keep secret the identities of their donors. The House passed a similar bill earlier, but the measure must pass both chambers in identical form to become law. Privacy advocates say donors sometimes hesitate to, or don't give at all, because of Georgia's disclosure policy. They say the bill would help colleges and university fund-raising efforts by shielding donors from disclosure. But critics say the bill will allow big donors to wield undue influence over the governing of the state's schools. "There is a difference in power between people who give $1,000 and people who give $50,000," said Sen. Kasim Reed, D-Atlanta. Child Support overhaul falls short in Senate The biggest overhaul to the state's child support laws was narrowly voted down in the Senate Thursday. The measure would put Georgia's child support regulations on a "shared income" model, meaning support payments would be calculated using the incomes of both parents. The plan missed passing in the Senate by one vote. Supporters say it would put Georgia in line with other states' child support laws. But opponents say it could unnecessarily throw families back into court to have their payments reconsidered. "We see no need to go back and put those families through a heart wrenching process again," said Sen. Emanuel Jones, D-Ellenwood. Smoking ban bill The House on Tuesday passed a version of the Senate's state-wide smoking ban that included several amendments allowing for plenty of exemptions. House members called the Senate's version over broad and too stringent. One compared the act "reminiscent of Nazi Germany." House exemptions included bars, restaurants where minors are not allowed or there is a private smoking room, hotel rooms designated as smoking rooms and employee break rooms if ventilated among others. "I do know smoking is bad for your health, but when I read the final bill with the dictatorial language and harsh fines, I voted no on the bill," said Rep. John Yates, R-Griffin, a non-smoker. Supporters have been pushing the ban for several years. Some Georgia cities and counties already have implemented their own bans. "I refuse to believe that the inconvenience of asking a smoker to step outside outweighs the cost, inconvenience and health risks of the nonsmoker," said Rep. Stacey Reece, R-Gainesville, who sponsored the bill in the House. Lawmakers are expected to work on a compromise bill next week but if not approved by the 40th day of the session, the bill will be snuffed out until next year. Shoulder driving approved Senators Monday approved a bill to direct the state Transportation Department to study the use and implementation of so-called "FlexAuto Lanes" on Georgia's interstates. In use in areas of Virginia, supporters say the idea of creating an extra lane out of emergency lanes and hard shoulders will ease traffic in areas where the proposal is implemented. State Rep. John Lunsford, R-McDonough, authored the bill. "We're hoping they'll at least look at it and see if there are some perfect locations," Lunsford said. The bill outlines several areas identified as potential flex lanes, which would only be allowed during rush hours. Transportation officials have stepped cautiously around the idea, saying they will make sure that where they are used, safety and congestion mitigation are the top priority. DMVS overhaul approved by Senate A bill backed by Gov. Sonny Perdue that would overhaul of the Department of Motor Vehicle Services and make it more efficient, supporters say, passed the Senate Thursday. The measure would break the functions of the DMVS up and place them under other state agencies. The DMVS, which currently enforces HOV and other interstate regulations, would continue issuing drivers licenses under Perdue's plan. Enforcement would be moved out of the agency. "It's kind of like having a redundant layer of law enforcement," said Sen. John Douglas, R-Covington. "The job the DMVS does can be done by the State Patrol and local law enforcement," he said. Lawmakers reconvene Tuesday for the 38th day of the session.

Purchased two plots in Mahaveer GreenMeadows project
I bought two plots in Mahaveer GreenMeadows project close to Electronic city. Visited the place several times and found lot of constructions are happening around this location. Mahaveer GreenMeadows project is not located in the main road so the price is little cheaper than other builders. I bought it for long-term investment purpose.
I did not have any issues in dealing with the builders, whatever documents I asked they gave it to me for my lawyer to verify it. One interesting thing I noticed is, in the Anekal registration office, they did not check my photo identity to verify if my name matches with my physical appearance. They just took the photos of me, used it in the registration documents.
Anyone else purchased plots in this project, please contact me so that we can keep in touch to see the progress of this project.

AMERICAN FALLS — Make no doubt about it, the Snake River Lady Panthers came to play on Monday afternoon as they split the day with a 13-1 win over American Falls to advance the district championship game and then falling just short in a seventh inning rally as they settled for second place with a 9-7 defeat to Bear Lake.
"What can I say? The girls battled all the way to the end." Snake River head coach Kay Martin said. "They came out firing in game one and took care of business and then even though we were down all the way through the second game they just never gave up and I think that it is a testament to the character of these girls. They just never quit."

I really like the idea of the app and it has lots of promise, but it crashes on ny HTC desire. The points of interest and the routes don't work. Also the navigation does not save its data as it progresses, so when the battery goes flat, it.loses everything. So this is a shame, because it could be a great app.

Do not work

I have used this app a number of times on La Loire à Vélo route. It is very good but could be improved. One problem is that it seems impossible to retrieve those parts of the route that have been recorded under "Navigation". At the top right hand corner of the screen for "Navigation" there is "History". When one opens "History" there is something recorded but it is impossible to see what. It seems

Once common needs are established, the Working Group will collaborate closely with the ESMO Leadership to develop educational activities and products, in order to meet Community Oncologists' needs.
Dr Michalis Karamouzis, from St Savvas, Anticancer Oncologic Hospital in Athens, Greece and also a member of the new working group, explains some of the challenges of a young community oncologist: "According to my experience in Greece, Community Oncologists are doing very challenging work as they see most of the patients, not only those involved in clinical trials, but patients with all sorts of tumors, frequently with difficult tumors, patients with bad performance status, all sorts of complicated cases, including those who need supportive or palliative care."
The way in which the treatment of cancer patients is organized --and patients' preferences-- also varies largely among European countries.
In Italy, Dr Sergio Crispino, Chair of the Italian Association of Hospital Oncology Chiefs (Collegio Italiano dei Primari Oncologi Medici Ospedalieri - CIPOMO) explains that "Many patients are treated in non-academic units. At present, in Italy, general hospitals contribute substantially to clinical research and have very advanced standards and treatments."
In Italy the patient's choice between a university hospital or a community setting would also depend on the region the patient lives in and the kind of cancer he has. "We cannot generalize. Patients are usually guided in their choice by family doctors," explains Dr Crispino. "In the future, my personal view is that community oncology will grow because we are standardizing treatments so the quality of care will be similar in all centers. The development of oral drugs and gentler treatments will also contribute to this growth."
The challenge today is to be able to provide quality care for patients from diagnosis until the en

A lot goes on in San Francisco's Mission District, which is a historically Latino neighborhood south of Market Street. Eating and drinking, especially. All kinds of eating and drinking.
Which brings us to the stars of this video: a restaurant called Californios and a bar/restaurant/mini-golf course called Urban Putt. They stand just across 22nd Street from each other, and if they were cars, they'd be about as similar as a Tesla and Herbie the Love Bug.
Still, they're both newish, odd and a lot of fun, with Mexican touches here and there -- so maybe they're logical Mission District neighbors after all.
Californios, as you'll see, is a small, highly ambitious restaurant that takes Mexican traditions in unexpected directions. It opened early this year.
Urban Putt opened in 2014. It has food too. But it's better known for its course of 14 kooky miniature golf holes. (One has a Dia de Los Muertos theme; another celebrates Jules Verne.)
It serves as a play space for families in the afternoon,...Read more
When your plane is stuck on the tarmac, just throw a pizza party. That happened earlier this week on a few Delta Air Line flights bound for Atlanta that were diverted because of heavy rain.
L.A. native Samir Chaudry and his buddy Colin were on Delta flight 1561 on Tuesday that was supposed to fly from Philadelphia to Atlanta and connect to Los Angeles. Instead, they found themselves stranded on a runway in Knoxville, Tenn., waiting out the bad weather.
After the captain announced that he was going to order pizza for everyone, Chaudry, 26, who works in digital media, decided to live Snapchat the situation. He later downloaded his posts into a video (see above) called "The Real Story of the #DeltaPizzaParty."
Instead of joining in the pizza high-fives for Delta that began streaming on Twitter, Chaudry filmed things such as the arrival of water bottles ("we're pretty excited") and finally the delivery of the pizzas. He helped carry boxes to flight attendants in the front of the plane -- and...Read more
The USS Arizona Memorial, one of Hawaii's top tourist attractions, has closed for at least a week after a Navy ship struck and damaged the memorial's landing dock.
The popular attraction is expected to remain closed until at least June 4, according to the National Park Service website.
Almost 1,200 sailors and Marines aboard the Arizona died as the ship quickly sank during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. About 1.8 million people visit the memorial each year.
The USHS Mercy, A U.S. Navy hospital ship, collided with the dock about 7:45 a.m. Hawaii time, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. The ship was at Pearl Harbor for a training exercise. The Arizona's floating dock was shoved about 10 feet toward the memorial, the newspaper said.
The ramp and handrails connecting the dock to the memorial were "mangled," the Navy Times reported, and the park service noted that "it is not safe for visitors to disembark at the USS Arizona Memorial."
While repairs are made, the Navy...Read more

Rival denies link to Isabela town mayor's killing
A political rival of slain Isabela town mayor Erlinda Domingo has submitted an affidavit denying any involvement in the murder.
Walter Villanueva, who was set to challenge Domingo in the upcoming mayoralty race in Maconacon, Isabela, said he executed the affidavit after some newspaper reports linked him to the mayor's ambush-slay on Jan. 22.
"I do not have any idea why I am being tagged as the man behind the killing of Mayor Erlinda Domingo. Furthermore, I deny any connection with the said crime and with the persons allegedly arrested by police following the killing. I do not know them nor have I met any of them," the politician said in his affidavit, a copy of which was furnished to the Philippine Daily Inquirer by a source.
Domingo, 51, was shot dead by armed men outside the Park Villa Apartelle in Barangay (village) West Avenue. Her driver, Bernard Plasos, was wounded in the attack.
"I am now executing this affidavit because several newspaper articles naming me as a suspect in her killing have been published and I want to clear my name of the crime being imputed against me," he said.
Villanueva pointed out that even though he ran and lost against Domingo in the 2010 mayoralty race, he had "no reason to physically harm or kill her."
"In fact, after the elections, I congratulated her and extended my offer for reconciliation and my help in whatever capacity," the politician said.
He said the last time he saw Domingo was during Maconacon town's founding anniversary and fiesta in 2011, adding he had no contact or connection with the mayor since then.
In his affidavit, Villanueva said he was in Baguio City with his wife on the night of Jan. 22, tending to a ready-to-wear clothing business he ran with his wife.
Police had quickly rounded up four suspects in the killing. In separate raids in Barangay Culiat and Barangay Commonwealth in Quezon City, police picked up suspects Marsibal Indaman "Bagwis" Abduhadi and his wife, Mary Grace, Christian Pajenado and Michael Domingo.
A fifth reported suspect went to the QC police station on Tuesday night but was not detained. The police said it no longer had authority to hold Ryan Santiago, 32, who they had earlier tagged as a suspect.
Santiago went to Camp Karingal to deny any involvement in the mayor's slay. Police had included his name in a referral sheet sent to the QC prosecutors office. He was assisted by a lawyer from the Public Attorney's Office.
Police earlier said Santiago was among those tagged by Pajenado, who was reportedly arrested in a construction site near the crime scene and who "confessed" to being part of the hit squad.

Hillary Copsey: Connecting with readers really makes a difference
Being able to make connections with people is the reason I love my job. I talk with one person, make a connection and then get to send that story out into the world, making even more connections.
I received a package from a reader recently that reminded me how much those stories and ideas we send out into the world can matter. Even without the reminder, the package was the highlight of my week. Inside was a Woman's Day magazine from October 1954.
Pearl Doris of Port St. Lucie sent it to me, responding to a call out for frugal recipes. She thought I might find interesting the cover article that offered 127 hamburger recipes. I found the whole magazine fascinating.
This thing is such a time capsule. There are plenty of advertisements for products Americans still use and love, such as Hellman's mayonnaise and Gerber baby food, but then you flip a page and find well-made dress shoes for $9.95 or an article outlining a $40 wardrobe for the "busy working girl."
And then, there's the fact that Doris has saved — and used — this magazine for 57 years.
Doris married her husband, Frank, in 1949 when she was 21 years old. She didn't know how to cook then, she said, so she had to learn quickly. She also had to learn on a limited budget.
"I had $10 to spend for food for the week," Doris said, "so I would go out and get three pounds of hamburger for $1 and chicken was 29 cents, and a bundle of frankfurters — my son, one of his favorite meals is still festive franks. That was a way to stretch them, you know. You cut them up and cooked them with tomatoes, to make a sauce, and put it over rice."
The recipes she tried and her family loved, she copied into a loose-leaf notebook. That and a stack of recipe pamphlets — from companies such as Knox gelatin or Pillsbury — and magazines like this Woman's Day rounded out Doris' menu planning library.
She kept that magazine and those little cookbooks — just marketing products, really — through the decades as her children moved out and she and Frank retired. She packed it up in 1992 from her kitchen up north and unpacked it in her the kitchen in her new home in Port St. Lucie.
A 7-cent magazine has helped keep her family fed.
And yes, Doris said she still would recommend some of the recipes in that Woman's Day.
"I had so much hamburger through some of the years of our married life, I thought I'd never want to see a hamburger again," Doris said. "But I like a hamburger every now and then."
Her favorite hamburger recipe: Make two very thin patties and sandwich feta or bleu cheese in between to make a single hamburger to cook any way you want.

Two men were arrested as suspects in a case involving several vehicle burglaries in the Bridgeport area of Valencia yesterday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The suspects have been identified as Andrew Khachatourian (pictured left), 21, a Valencia resident, and Chase Garcia (pictured right) , 20, a Saugus resident.
Santa Clarita Detective Bureau have been investigating several vehicle burglaries in the Bridgeport area of Valencia which have occurred over the past month.
"We got to them pretty quick," said Mike Marino, detective at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
During the early morning hours of June 13, an observant resident saw two suspicious men walking through the neighborhood. He contacted Santa Clarita Sheriff deputies, who responded.
The suspects were arrested at 3 a.m., and found to be in possession of various stolen property.
Through follow up investigation by detectives numerous items valued at thousands of dollars were recovered, including two laptops and several iPods.
The total number of burglaries committed is still unknown. However nine victims have been identified so far.
"Just getting the word out has helped to identify victims," said Marino.
Several recovered items have already been returned to the rightful owners. Additional recovered property has yet to be returned.
"I've got more calls that are coming in so I'm sure that number is going to go up," said Marino.
Detectives are looking for the public's help in identifying additional victims.
Both suspects have prior criminal records, which are not available at this time.

Four collisions at the intersection of 195th St. and Highway 34 within 40 hours of Thursday's opening of the Highway 34 westbound overpass and redesigned Interstate 29 interchange in western Mills County left two people hospitalized with serious injuries and Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) officials taking extra measures to prevent future accidents.
A motorcyclist being pursued by the Iowa State Patrol was arrested and transported to an Omaha hospital after crashing the stolen bike in Mills County shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23.
Chad Larsen, 36, of Council Bluffs crashed in the ditch of the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 34, approximately one-half mile east of Highway 275 (Tabor turnoff). He attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended and arrested after climbing over a barbed-wire fence and falling down repeatedly while trying to get away through a nearby farm field.
Kenny Spencer admits he never envisioned his career in professional football leading to a prominent role on a reality TV show or personal friendships with rock-and-roll music legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS fame.
Spencer, a 2005 Glenwood Community High School graduate, is the place kicker for the LA KISS, an Arena Football League (AFL) team partially owned by the two band members from KISS and the focus of the 10-week 4th and Loud docu-series that began airing in August on Tuesday nights on AMC (9 p.m. CDT).
Fremont-Mills' Kelsey Hurley medaled in three events and Parker Powers was fourth in the 110-meter hurdles at the Class 1A Iowa State Track and Field Meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
The Knight girls finished with 20.5 points to place 10th in the girls Class 1A standing. Hudson was the girls champion with 72 points.
The Glenwood girls won five medals and placed a program-best 10th overall in the Class 3A standings with a school record 24 team points at the Iowa State Track and Field Meet in Des Moines.
Davenport Assumption was the girls team champion with 79 points.
But it was his own team Glenwood coach Brad Rasmussen was more impressed by.
May 14 – Karen Gonzalez of Glenwood reported a burglary.
May 14 – Chrissy Butler of Silver City reported a theft.
Richard H. Davidson
Billy Walsh, Pacific Junction – animal abuse, pleaded guilty, sentenced to one year probation, ordered to undergo psychological evaluation, pay $625 civil penalty, court costs and fees.
Carley Marie-Jene Hunter, Glenwood – child endangerment – bodily injury, pleaded guilty, deferred judgment, sentenced to two years probation, ordered to pay $750 civil penalty, court costs and fees.
May 15 – Glenwood Senior Center reported a burglary and criminal mischief.
May 15 – Glenwood Public Library reported an attempted burglary and criminal mischief.
May 14 - A vehicle driven by Karen Callaway of Pacific Junction was turning right into the McDonald's parking lot when a second car, driven by Susanna Weber of Glenwood rear-ended Callaway's vehicle. No injuries were reported.
The Glenwood girls track team sits at 18 points and in a tie for seventh place heading into Saturday's final day at the Iowa State Track and Field Meet in Des Moines.
The girls will run in the shuttle hurdle relay finals Saturday morning with a final chance at points. Assumption leads in the girls standings with 49 points.
The Glenwood boys place (36th) and team points (two) after two days at the state track meet may seem disappointing but with four final events yet to be run the Rams have plenty of chances to climb the leaders board.
As the Glenwood girls track team circled the track in their triumphant victory lap celebrating the team's second straight Hawkeye 10 Conference title at Ram Memorial Field, Glenwood coach Brad Rasmussen could only watch.
And cry.
The usually stoic longtime coach couldn't hold back the tears as he watched his team surrounded by reporters. All the coach wanted to do was celebrate with his team.

Embedded PCI and Linux
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) technology is prevalent on the desktop and embedded computing environments. PCI has a significant share of the desktop market, and the sizeable volumes associated with this market enable PCI technology to be implemented cost effectively.
Unfortunately, the low-cost nature of PCI has not been realized in the embedded environment. This is mainly due to two factors: the desktop PC form factor being unsuitable for embedded applications and the low-volume requirements of most industrial applications not yielding to economics of scale.
The desktop PC form factor is not well suited for many embedded applications, generally due to space constraints or the fact that the form factor itself inherently is unreliable in demanding industrial settings. Alternative form factors are available, such as CompactPCI and PC/104+. However, these technologies suffer from the inhibiting fact that their applications primarily are industrial in nature, resulting in the volumes for these applications being significantly less than those in the desktop environment. Consequently, components of these technologies are costly due to the market niche that they occupy.
The proposed dimmPCI standard (see www.dimmpci.com) attempts to alleviate these two problems. The dimmPCI standard is a superset of the 32-bit, 33MHz desktop PCI standard in a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) form factor. This form factor uses a high-volume, commercially available DIMM interconnect component. The use of a high-volume interconnect reduces system cost considerably, as can be seen when a comparison is done between the desktop market and other PCI technologies.
The acceptable sizes defined by the DIMM standard improve reliability by reducing the mass of the circuit card considerably. Reliability is enhanced further by the presence of card locks at both ends of the DIMM connector. Easily manufactured and inexpensive braces also may be added to the middle of the circuit cards for additional support.
By using PCI, a myriad of options are available to the embedded systems developer. The developer now may select from a range of high-volume PCI components used in desktop applications. This brings low-cost, high-performance, system-level solutions within reach of the embedded marketplace.
Use of standard PCI technology enables a significant reduction in development effort. Using existing proven technology reduces time-to-market of both the hardware and software components.
Finally, an operating system was required that met the following requirements: widely used, easily supported, ease of development, low-development costs, low per-unit licensing fees, support for wide range of hardware platforms and devices, code maintenance, qualified developers and maximized exploitation of the technology platform. After analysis of various options, µClinux was chosen.
Linux has existed in the desktop domain for a considerable length of time, and thus it has accumulated a significant knowledge base related to PCI development.
Our selection of hardware and software occurred using an iterative process. That is, the initial hardware and operating system requirements (low cost, performance, networking) identified a broad solution set. The new solution set was combined with the initial requirements and information we collected during the first iteration to generate new initial conditions (network stack, OS/RTOS, SRAM/DRAM, PCI). Again, the equation was solved and a solution identified. This process went through three iterations, each time identifying a better solution. At the end of the process, we settled on the hardware and operating system components described herein.
Our iterative process indicated Linux as a possible choice for our operating system quite early in the process. Based on previous work, use of closed-source OSes for embedded projects has created problems with code debug and trace during development. Another important consideration is off-the-shelf support for different filesystems, network stacks and peripheral devices. Finally, support for a wide range of hardware platforms is important for future development projects that require application migration to higher levels of performance. An analysis of available options quickly identified Linux as the OS of choice.
Our first hardware platform (described below) is based on the Motorola Dragonball VZ microcontroller. The Motorola Dragonball family devices use a large-endian memory format and alignment that is different from x86-based devices. The Dragonball also lacks a memory management unit (MMU) unlike microprocessors used in desktop computers. Typically, lower-cost processors lack an MMU, and many embedded applications are driven by cost. The software for these applications does not require the benefits that an MMU would provide.
It is known that a full Linux kernel requires the presence of an MMU in the hardware system. Due to the absence of the MMU in the Dragonball processor, the process of porting a Linux kernel to this microprocessor architecture is a significant undertaking.
µClinux is a Linux 2.0 kernel that has been ported to a Motorola 68k family device that does not have an MMU. Some kernel services need to be adapted to work in an environment without an MMU. For example, services normally provided by the function fork() may be accomplished with vfork(), given that care is used. Note that µClinux originally was ported to the Dragonball EZ processor. Our implementation uses the Dragonball VZ and so requires some additional kernel modifications.

You're a portable mess
Carpetbagger spearheading tear peddeling pretentious art critics,
from Aesop Rock – Shovel Lyrics on Genius
Portable mess: you have no home
Carpetbagger is probably a reference to something beyond my meager intelligence, but I believe "spearheading tear peddling pretentious art critics" is referring to those who are enabling the creation of art that converts sadness and suffering into money and profit.
The next line ties in as well
"orphans trying to dismiss those pioneering their fortunes"
orphans: you have no parents (thematically consistent with "you have no home")
however in this case orphans also refers to artists. Artists are trying to dismiss the critics, and financial backers of those who "pioneer their fortunes".
Still consistent the next line throws another punch in the gut of the artist saying "you're a spectacle" and then criticizing an artist of thinking he has the right to impart what is true or what is divine to other people.
To me this all touches on the commentary of artists in particular and how they will struggle and deny the reality of the world just to eschew what they perceive is a divine message.
This is particularly interesting with recent talk of creativity as a mental illness, due to the possibility of including it as a condition in the DSM-V.
