Posted: 5:23 AM A black lab was left to die after being thrown out of a car window into oncoming traffic on the west side of Pueblo Friday evening. Thankfully for Sweetie, she had a guardian angel watching nearby. But Melissa Dunaway can't keep Sweetie for good...so if Sweetie is cleared for adoption, she hopes there is someone that can!
Anyone wishing to adopt Sweetie can contact Dunaway directly at msdfjazzy@yahoo.com. Dunaway will forward the e-mails to PAWS for Life in Pueblo, who will be handling the adoption procedure. Sweetie will not be eligible for adoption for five days. Dunaway stresses that whoever adopts Sweetie needs to be an experienced dog owner.

Posted: 5:09 AM Only 3 of 11 midsize luxury and near-luxury cars evaluated earn good or acceptable ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's new small overlap frontal crash test, the latest addition to a suite of tests designed to help consumers pick the safest vehicles.
The Acura TL and Volvo S60 earn good ratings, while the Infiniti G earns acceptable. The Acura TSX, BMW 3 series, Lincoln MKZ and Volkswagen CC earn marginal ratings. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus IS 250/350, Audi A4 and Lexus ES 350 earn poor. All of these cars are 2012 models.
In the test, 25 percent of a car's front end on the driver side strikes a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier at 40 mph. A 50th percentile male Hybrid III dummy is belted in the driver seat. The test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a car collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole. Outside of some automakers' proving grounds, such a test isn't currently conducted anywhere else in the United States or Europe.
