Brownback faces challengers in tight Kansas Senate bid
Two opponents step up to challenge two term senator Sam Brownback defending his record on social and economic issues for Kansas. Brownback cites work on research funding to Kansas University bridge funds to Topeka and tax breaks aiding Wichita’s aircraft industry while praising conservative causes including a proposed federal same sex marriage ban. He notes high mail interest on social issues and argues Kansans care about these topics.

Google plans unusual IPO auction and price range
Google plans to offer between 2.66 and 3.32 billion in stock in an unusual auction priced at 108 to 135 dollars per share. The move aims to democratize access though the midpoint prices suggest a hefty market cap and limited direct access for small investors. Founders Page and Brin each sell one million shares, earning about 117 million at the midpoint. Analysts note the price range may deter ordinary investors from buying a single share with a 100 dollar budget.
