Newark Mayor Cory Booker not visiting Iowa
DES MOINES, IOWA ? Newark Mayor Cory Booker will not be making an appearance in Iowa next month.
The University of Iowa?s website says that the Democratic candidate for Senate from New Jersey will be giving a lecture on the Iowa City campus on Aug. 29. But Booker campaign spokesman Kevin Griffis says Monday that Booker will not give the speech.
Griffis says the speech was scheduled before the special Senate election was called in New Jersey. He says they had since cancelled the event, but there had been some kind of miscommunication.
The potential of a Booker visit to Iowa drew attention because of the state?s presidential caucuses, which prompt speculation about politicians who schedule events in Iowa.

Driver of derailed Spanish train charged with 79 counts of homicide
Francisco Garzon is now under arrest, as the investigation centers on his role in the crash that killed or injured almost everyone on board. NBC's Keir Simmons reports.
By Tracy Rucinski, Reuters
SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain - The driver of a Spanish high-speed train that derailed and killed 79 people was released pending trial on charges of reckless homicide, a judge ruled on Sunday night.
Francisco Garzon, 52, had been under arrest since Thursday. He is suspected of driving the train too fast through a tight curve on the outskirts of the northwestern Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela.
Examining Magistrate Luis Alaez formally charged Garzon with "79 counts of homicide and numerous offences of bodily harm, all of them committed through professional recklessness," the court said in a statement.
In a closed-door hearing before Judge Alaez, Garzon admitted taking the curve too fast, blaming it on a momentary lapse, according to media reports.
Alaez set the following conditions of release: Garzon must check in regularly with the court, surrender his passport and not drive trains.
None of the parties in the case, which include state train operator Renfe, state railway firm Adif and two insurance companies, had asked for Garzon to be jailed pending trial, and he was not seen as a flight risk, the court statement said.
At 8:41 p.m. on Wednesday the eight-carriage, high-speed train slammed into a concrete wall, crumpled, and some of the cars caught fire. The impact was so strong that one of the carriages was thrown several meters high over an embankment.
The death toll from Spain's worst train disaster in decades rose to 79 after one injured person - a woman from the United States - died on Sunday.
Seventy people remain hospitalized with injuries from the crash, 22 are in critical condition.
Garzon has worked for Renfe for 30 years, 10 as a driver. His father also worked on the rails and he grew up in Renfe-owned housing in the northwestern town of Monforte de Lemos and went to school with other train-workers' children.
After the accident he was hospitalized with a head injury. On Saturday he was released from the hospital but remained in police custody until he was taken to the hearing at Santiago de Compostela's main courthouse.
Neither lawyers nor members of Garzon's family could be reached for comment.
Alaez has been assigned to investigate the case and will also look at whether the train, the tracks or the security system that slows down the trains were at fault.
UP TO THE DRIVER
The Alvia train involved in the accident, one of three types of high-speed train services that run in Spain, received a full maintenance check on the morning of the journey, the head of Renfe said, and security systems were in good shape.
"As far as we know, the train was in perfect condition when it set off on its journey," Renfe President Julio Gomez-Pomar told newspaper ABC.
The Alvia trains run both on traditional tracks, where drivers must heed warning systems to reduce speed, and on high-speed tracks where a more sophisticated security system will automatically slow down trains that are going too fast.
At the section of the track where the accident happened, it was up to the driver to respond to prompts to slow down.
Gomez-Pomar rejected criticism that the safety system was insufficient, saying the debate "does not make much sense".
CELEBRATIONS CANCELED
The city of Santiago was meant to be celebrating the yearly festival of St. James on July 25, with thousands of Christian pilgrims arriving after walking the famous Camino de Santiago ancient pilgrimage trail.
A week of concerts and other cultural events were canceled after the train crash on the eve of the festival. On Sunday, black ribbons of mourning hung on the empty stages that had been set up.
Pilgrims, many of them fresh off the trail and carrying backpacks, crammed into a standing-room-only Mass in Santiago's centuries-old cathedral where they were asked to remember the victims of the accident.
At the cathedral gates, along with flowers and candles commemorating the dead, some people left walking sticks from their journeys and others placed shells, the symbol of St. James and badge of honor for the pilgrims who complete the journey.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who visited the crash site after the tragedy, is due to return on Monday to Santiago, the city where he was born, for an official funeral ceremony for the victims.
Dolores Mato, 57, a shopkeeper who works close to the ancient cathedral, expressed sympathy and grief for the victims and their families, but also for Garzon, who she said had been "crucified" in the media.?

Pope Francis draws millions to Rio beach for Mass to cap weeklong trip

Millions of people crowd Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro on July 28, 2013 as Pope Francis celebrates the final mass of his visit to Brazil.
By Anne Thompson, Mary Murray and Daniel Arkin, NBC News
A reported three million people jammed Rio de Janeiro?s Copacabana beach Sunday to get a glimpse of Pope Francis as he brought a whirlwind trip to his home continent to a close with a Mass, during which he called on young people participating in World Youth Day to extend their Catholic faith ?to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.?
?The church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you,? Pope Francis said to the massive crowd, one of the largest turnouts for a papal Mass in recent history, according to The Associated Press.
?Where does Jesus send us?? the pontiff asked the audience. ?There are no borders, no limits: he sends us to everyone. The Gospel is for everyone, not just for some. It is not only for those who seem closer to us, more receptive, more welcoming. It is for everyone.?
Millions of people packed Brazil's Copacabana beach Sunday, and more were expected, to attend the Pope's final Mass of his trip to the country. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.
The celebration of the Mass marked the climax of his week-long trip to the capital of Brazil and neighboring Sao Paulo, where legions of fans and the faithful celebrated a pope who has quickly gained in popular appeal. It also crowned World Youth Day, a biannual gathering of young Catholics.
Over the course of Francis' visit ? his first foreign tour since he was elected March 13 ? the pontiff presented a broad sketch of his key papal priorities: charity for the poor, bringing priests closer to the people, and re-evangelizing regions where Catholics have left the church ? particularly Latin America, where the Catholic population has dramatically shrunk.
"I would like Christ's command ? 'Go' ? to resonate in you young people from the church in Latin America, engaged in the continental mission promoted by the bishops," Francis said in his homily Sunday. "Brazil, Latin America, the whole world needs Christ!"
Many of the pilgrims who packed Copacabana beach early Sunday slept overnight to secure a spot at Mass, some pitching tents and camping out in sleeping bags. Normally a sea of bikinis and swimsuits, the world-famous beach was, instead, crammed with Bibles, rosaries and crucifixes as worshipers convened to hear Francis.
?We were dying of cold but it was worth it,? Lucrecia Grillera, 18, told the AP. ?It was a tiring day, but it was a great experience.?
The Vatican said that over 3 million people flooded the beach for closing Mass, based on data provided by World Youth Day organizers and local authorities, eclipsing the one million people at 2011 ceremony in Madrid and the 850,000 on hand for the 2002 ceremony in Toronto, according to the AP.
And yet the Rio crowd fell short of the estimated 5 million people who swarmed Pope John Paul II?s 1995 closing Mass in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, according to the AP.
Francis announced Sunday that the next World Youth Day would be in Krakow, Poland in 2016.
En route to the beach, Francis received a welcome befitting a rock star, as admirers flung well-wishes, kisses and gifts at the pontiff as he rode to the service in an open-sided car. Straight-laced Vatican bodyguards smiled as they moved along the pope?s vehicle, swept up in the ecstatic energy surrounding the convoy, according to the AP.

The pontiff is making his first visit overseas since he was elected in March. An estimated 2 million people are expected to greet him.
It was Francis? second day addressing a massive audience on the beach. He spoke on Saturday to a crowd estimated by the Vatican to have climbed above 2 million people.
In his speech, he encouraged Brazil's young people, who have protested against corruption in their country, to continue their efforts to change society by fighting apathy and offering "a Christian response."?
He received yet another rapturous reception, stopping his popemobile several times to kiss babies.
On Thursday, Pope Francis underlined his mission to lead a ?church for the poor? Thursday, preaching against ?selfishness and individualism? in an address to a rain-soaked Rio slum.
He was cheered by residents of the Varginha favela who hung out of windows and stood on rooftops just to get a glimpse he gave his address from a vast, muddy soccer field.
Dignitaries including Brazilian Vice President Michel Temer were on hand at Rio's Antonio Carlos Jobim international airport to say goodbye to Francis on Sunday afternoon, according to the AP.
In his farewell remarks at the airport, the pope thanked the people of Brazil for "showing so much affection and friendship."
"I shall miss the natural and warm smiles I have seen in so many faces, and the enthusiasm shown by the volunteers," he said.
"I know that Christ is truly present in the lives of countless young people and in the lives of many whom I have met during this unforgettable week."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Fister, Tigers edge Phillies 2-1
DETROIT (AP) ? When Doug Fister is in a groove, the innings can fly by pretty quickly.
"I do take pride in going fast. It's a fine line between working fast and hurrying through your delivery," the Detroit right-hander said. "You keep your defense on their toes. They're more behind you when you're working fast at a good tempo."
Fister pitched eight innings without allowing an earned run on Friday night, and Alex Avila's two-run double in the fifth gave him all the support he would need in the Tigers' 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Fister allowed three hits and a walk ? and the game was finished in a crisp 2 hours, 24 minutes.
"Pretty easy when you're pretty much on the same page, and he's getting it, getting it back up there and throwing it," said Avila, Detroit's catcher. "When he's throwing strikes and getting guys out, it's pretty fun."
Avila's big hit sent the Phillies to their season-worst sixth straight loss.
Cole Hamels (4-13) was trying to protect a 1-0 lead for the Phillies when he allowed the bottom of Detroit's order to break through. After a one-out walk to Hernan Perez, Ramon Santiago and Avila ? the No. 9 batter ? hit back-to-back doubles.
"Changeup. He threw a hanger ? that's what it was. I just saw it out of his hand, and it was up, and put a pretty good swing on it," said Avila, who is hitting .187 on the year. "It was just a good all-around baseball game ? good pitching, a lot of tense moments ? a fun game."
Santiago was playing third base in place of slugger Miguel Cabrera, who hasn't played since Monday because of an injured left hip.
Fister (9-5) struck out six. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 10 chances.
Darin Ruf grounded out with a man on third to end it.
With the Phillies struggling to stay in playoff contention, the trade deadline might take on added significance for them.
"I think it might be bothering them," manager Charlie Manuel said of his club. "We've got a lot of young, inexperienced players, and they get concerned about where they are going to be playing and who is going be traded. That didn't used to be the case, but things are all over the place now and they read it all."
The Tigers were without Cabrera, outfielder Torii Hunter (left Achilles) and second baseman Omar Infante (sprained left ankle). The Phillies were short-handed, too, with first baseman Ryan Howard and outfielders Domonic Brown and Ben Revere on the disabled list.
In the middle of their latest loss, the Phillies announced left-hander Cliff Lee would miss Saturday night's start because of a stiff neck.
Philadelphia took a 1-0 lead with a third-inning run off Fister. John Mayberry Jr. reached on an error by Perez, the second baseman. One out later, Carlos Ruiz hit a single, and Michael Young followed with an RBI single to snap an 0-for-12 skid.
But Fister struck out the next two hitters to get out of that jam. After Ruf's single in the fourth, no more Phillies reached base until the eighth.
Young drew a two-out walk then, but Fister retired Kevin Frandsen on a groundout and walked off to an ovation from the Comerica Park crowd.
Benoit allowed a leadoff single by Jimmy Rollins. With one out, Rollins stole second, and with two outs, he stole third. But the Phillies couldn't get him home.
Santiago had a nice all-around game. Young led off with a grounder toward the hole between Santiago and shortstop Jhonny Peralta, and Santiago made a diving stop to retire the Philadelphia third baseman.
In the fifth, Santiago's double down the left-field line brought Avila to the plate in a second-and-third situation. Avila hit a drive to the gap in left-center to score both runners.
Hamels allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He walked three and struck out six.
NOTES: Philadelphia's Delmon Young was hitless in his return to Detroit, where he was the MVP of last year's AL championship series for the Tigers. ... Detroit's Max Scherzer (14-1) faces Philadelphia's Raul Valdes (1-0) on Saturday night.
