Editorial: Drought woes
One of the reasons the Kansas river reservoirs are so low is the drain down by the corps in September when the Missouri barge operators asked for water to help move maybe 2 or 3 barges. Perry was lowered 6 feet and Tuttle and Milford had equal or greater wastes of water in the midst of on of the worse droughts on record.
The barge operators water rights aren't as senior as the Bowersock's, but they trump the state's wishes our common sense. This is part of the operational manual the corps follows without question or apparently considering greater needs. Now we're wondering if cities will have drinking water.

Uncool: Knology Lawrence, KS email server handling emails ...
It was a pretty smooth operation under Sunflower, but as Knology it has been a complete screw up. This is the third time they've blown up the email system in about as many months. My business and home email has not been able to send for 5 days. If you're lucky, you may get a tech support person with some "knolage". Typically, they first they deny it's their problem; next they claim only a few customers have been afflicted; and finally they might actually fix things. TOTALLY INCOMPETENT!

Abortion clinic regulations get more detailed
As an architect I resent referencing the American Institute of Architects as a source for these ginned up "standards". They obviously scanned through various materials used requirements out of context ... as long as they would be impossible for most clinics to meet.
This is an inexcusable misuse of statutory powers, but then again, most zealots can justify any twisting and abuse of authority to achieve their ends.
