a look at life inside iowa's sole maximum-security prison, iowa state penitentiary in fort madison. included: an inmate who is extracted from his cell; an inmate who's back behind bars after an escape; and chai vang, who's serving six life sentences for the murders of six hunters in wisconsin.
last thursday evening, stars were not the only lights in iowa skies. spectacular northern lights also shone from the heavens, extending across the midwestern usa and other locations not often graced with auroral displays. the wide-ranging auroral activity was triggered as a large solar flare - an energetic cloud of particles blasted outward from the sun a few days earlier - collided with planet earth's magnetosphere. alerted to conditions ripe for aurora, photographer stan richard recorded this apparition over saylorville lake, near des moines, iowa, usa. while the colorful rays seem to end just above the water, they are actually at altitudes of 100 kilometers or more.
des moines, iowa — sen. barack obama swept to victory in the iowa caucuses thursday night, pushing hillary rodham clinton to third place and taking a major stride in a historic bid to become the nation's first black president. mike huckabee rode a wave of support from evangelical christians to win the opening round among republicans in the 2008 campaign for the white house. obama, 46 and a first-term senator from illinois, told a raucous victory rally his triumph showed that in "big cities and small towns, you came together to say, 'we are one nation, we are one people and our time for change has come.'" final democratic returns showed the first-term lawmaker gaining 38 percent support. former sen. john edwards of north carolina gained second, barely edging out clinton, the former first lady. huckabee celebrated his own victory over mitt romney and a crowded republican field. "a new day is needed in american politics, just like a new day is needed in american government," the former arkansas governor told cheering supporters. "it starts here, but it doesn't end here. it goes all the way through the other states and ends at 1600 pennsylvania avenue." huckabee, a preacher turned politician, handily defeated romney despite being outspent by millions of dollars and deciding in the campaign's final days to scrap television commercials that would have assailed the former massachusetts governor. he stressed his religion to the extent of airing a commercial that described himself as a "christian leader" in his race against a man seeking to become the first mormon president. nearly complete returns showed huckabee with 34 percent support, compared with 25 percent for romney. former sen. fred thompson and sen. john mccain battled for third place, while texas rep. ron paul wound up fifth and former new york mayor rudy giuliani sixth. read more: source i'd like to send a "hollar" to stbasdf for reminding us that there is in fact something more important than mariah carey. thank you, good sir.
