Sound Off: Yankee Tank dam
"no public access to the lake."
Yes, KS is #1, with the Least Per Capita Public Lands in the Nation (50th, if you look at how it is reported.
I have a family member who works the Federal side (CoE, EPA, USFWS) on new permits for "private dams" & stormwater runoff mitigation @ new developments in KS. The Kansas side (KDOT & KDWPT) has NO desire to add anything to the lands managed by the state. That's how you control work load when your agency has been under the knife forever.
Yes, Rhode Island has more public lands per person . . . . . and Kansas has held the title on 50th for a Looooong time. Don't wait until Clinton Lake looks like Tuttle, come over & see what the future of Kansas Public Lands & Recreation has in store for your quality of life.

Not to be confused by 4Hers with Duroc, is DURC = "dual use research of concern."

IMHO, "bioscience companies like to locate where other bioscience companies are located" because it makes it more difficult to identify the source(s) of intentional acts of bio-terrorism. See:

State agriculture agency leaving Topeka for Manhattan
IMHO, it's a great move to have the NBAF acolytes within inhalation distance of their shrine. All Local, State & Federal NBAF supporters should have housing on site for the 50-year duration of homeland terrorism risk.

Sound Off: Reporting texters
Texting &/or any other use of a cell phone is a self-defeating prophecy that the user is communicating with another individual(s) who holds the belief that the user has an elemental role in the scheme of life on Earth.
The fact that intelligent alien lifeforms have managed to screen this EMF static from their historical records of contact from Earth is believed to be proof-positive of the universal irrelevance of Earthlings.

After efforts by student activists and bookstore leaders, living-wage factory now producing KU clothing
Hey, G T M pays a Dominican Republic living wage here in Manhattan

Sound Off: Medicare patients
After 10 years on Medicare, I have to say my 3 Cotton-O'Neil specialists are all on the same medical data base = status & medications available between them with a keystroke. They've done an XL job of faxing my primary care physician, as well.

Sound Off: Antiques Roadshow
I have two EXIT sign transoms from the 1916 Wichita Theatre (100 block E. Douglas), removed during the 1969 demolition. When Antiques Roadshow comes to Lawrence, I'll be there.

Orchards Golf Course in West Lawrence sold, renamed CobbleStone Golf Course
FYI: my Left is a hand-painted work of Art. In fact, it is the most expensive work in my collection. Once fooled a frustrated SRS ophthalmologist into blaming his equipment for the reflections.

Kansas Bioscience Authority announces $324,000 investment in animal drug company
The names of the KBA's board of directors should be on every press release announcing a funding award; along with naming those directors who recused themselves from voting to award their cronies the $.
