Basehor man dies in motorcycle wreck near Linwood
I am also a nurse, and while I haven't had any trauma surgeons tell me the difference between wearing a helmet and not, but I would say that deciding to wear a helmet should be a given. Even if the odds are not great with someone traveling at a high rate of speed, we both know that someone can die in a crash going 5 mph if they hit their head right, causing hemorrhaging or swelling (such as a coup and contrecoup injury). I would rather take the odds that the helmet could absorb some of the shock and decrease the risk for intracranial swelling over the most likely immediate TBI or death any day.

City eyes improvements to Ninth Street intersections
Unless you are on Barker during rush hour, it is amazing and highly agitating how many people don't even slow down at all at the yield sign, it will be just car after car after car and those on Barker have to sit there until there is a break in traffic or someone actually realizes that the yield sign also applies to them.

Warrant for Lawrence man's arrest issued for failure to appear in court
People have warrants for failure to appear all the time, everyday there are several arrests in the booking recap for this. Why is this newsworthy?

Rapist, murderer both eligible for parole in June
Just because he is at LSH doesn't mean he has been a troublesome inmate, it just means that he needs increased mental health care. I have seen some inmates from TCF (where I work) that have been considered model inmates but need a more stable, therapeutic mental health environment. What it does say is he will need a good case manager and lots of services when he leaves to remain stabilized with chronic mental health conditions.

Lawrence man, 30, arrested after grandmother reports two boys physically abused
I'm confused as to why this article has the mugshot as well as the name of the person while so many other articles state that LJWorld does not print names unless convicted...does the Lawrence Journal World just pick and choose who to identify?

Tunnels under central Kansas town tell a thoroughly riveting tale
There was tunnels under Lawrence as I recall, but I believe most of them have been filled in or caved in. I wish I could find that article too, it was very interesting. I miss that blog, it was awesome. I also wish LJWorld would fix their search function because even articles that were posted yesterday become lost in the archives.

Want to get away this summer? These day trips won’t break the bank
It's pretty bad when even the rest stop on I-70 has cheaper diesel and regular than Lawrence does.

Eudora mayor asking Brownback to install median cable barriers after deadly crash on K-10
So, what do you suggest? Let's force the government to create a teleporter to just teleport all the commuters to and from work.

KDOT cites 2008 study about cable median barriers for Kansas Highway 10
The article in on KMBC's website says "He said K-10 may not be the best place for them because of the wide median between the lanes, a distance that usually gives enough time for cars to stop." Anyone who has ever driven down K-10 after a massive snowstorm can see the tracks all up and down the highway where people have slid off and made it all the way the to the other side. Fortunately, they were going slow enough to not hit anyone. I realize that snow is slicker than grass, but if people can slide all the way through in the snow going 30 miles per hour, they can obviously do it going 70. And like gr said, even if trees or wires or whatever else cause damage and injuries to the car plowing into them, it's better than a collision at 140 miles per hour. They could plant some of that beautiful Kansas prairie grass, it may not be thick enough to stop a car, but it would slow them down better than short dewy grass would.
