Kansas science and math teachers easily recruited away

Right. They just take time off from work.

KU student killed in crash on U.S. Highway 59

You refuse to wear your seatbelt simply because wearing it is required by law? Do you do that with every law?

KU student killed in crash on U.S. Highway 59

I was in a vehicle just today in which none of the other occupants fastened seatbelts. It was my first time traveling with this group, and most likely my last. I've been ejected from a vehicle before and even though I was a toddler, it was most unpleasant.

I think the engine shouldn't start unless every occupied seat has a latched belt (with a minimum amount of webbing pulled from the retractor based on detected weight, so people can't latch the belt behind them, which is the dumbest effin' thing ever), and if a belt is unfastened when under way, the vehicle gives you a mile or a minute (whichever comes first) to put the belt back on or come to a stop or it goes into "safe" mode and stops the vehicle for you.

Sound Off: Stoplight timing

The point of the ill-timed lights on 23rd is to create an illusion of congestion to try to get people to support the SLT.

Railroad enthusiasts celebrate National Train Day at Santa Fe Depot

12k people commute from Lawrence to KC every day. Put them on a train and there suddenly is enough traffic at Union Station in KC to warrant expanded bus service. And for those who work farther east, they can hop off at the stadium complex and grab bus service from there.

It would work, but obviously the trains have to be there first, and they have to be on time (meaning having priority over freight on shared rail).

Higher education officials say concealed carry on campus probably inevitable in the future

Maybe it'd be easier to fence the campus and set up metal detectors at the gates.

You mean like living close to work?

Gotta find that promised $30 million in "efficiency" somewhere.

Railroad enthusiasts celebrate National Train Day at Santa Fe Depot

If we'd get commuter rail set up between Lawrence and KC (and should be between Manhattan and Independence, MO), we'd have enough passenger traffic to warrant a newsstand and café at the depot.

Sound Off: License stickers

If you get a thick enough stack of stickers, they peel right off. It's good to not let them build up more than three deep or so.
