You are answering your own questions. Contrary to your screen name, you appear to want to "have things both ways".

Ottawa woman, 60, sentenced to 25 years for dealing prescription drugs
It's a heavy sentence because it is a FEDERAL case, not a local one. If it were a federal care involving illegal weapons, it would be a big deal too. The US Attorney does not tend to take losing cases.

Pittsburg State proving Lawrence and KU not the only university-city sports facility partnership
I should also add that this Pitt State project has been in the planning process for at least two years, if not longer. I ran track at Pitt State and was down there a couple summers ago to visit. I went to see Coach Jewett, Track coach and asst. AD and he showed me the plans plus how much money they had ALREADY raised and had committed to raise. When PSU won the national championship in football that helped them generate the last amounts they needed to move ahead with the plan.

Pittsburg State proving Lawrence and KU not the only university-city sports facility partnership
That is assuming KUED would sell the land...they wouldn't. I trully believe KU (and the city) chose this path because it is the one of least resistance. KU can design it to their liking, build it the way they want and with whom they want, and by owning it they can control the intrest the city has in it. So, if they don't like how the city wants to use it, they don't have to sell it. It also means it is immune to a petition because as stated, they are a private entity and have no requirement to bid it out, unless stipulated by their board of directors.
I would guess this method has shaved at least 18 months of the finish date if it had gone through city government channels.

KU grad tells Denver Post about Adderall abuse in college
Nobody told me either, but I kind of figured it out on my own. My GPA in college was over 3.0, but not by a bunch. Didn't stress over it. My theory was all of my other activities, RA job, and being a year round college athlete (Cross Country, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track) showed my ability to be balanced and multi task. These are work skills.
That said...if you have aspirations of a good grad school, medical school, etc. they DO look heavily at grades as a weed out process when MCAT's are all the same.

KU grad tells Denver Post about Adderall abuse in college
What?! PED's in the classroom?! So athletes aren't the only ones willing to take calculated risks in order to preform to the best (or beyond) of their ability? Simply amazing, I never would have thought about it...
And guess what, performance artists will use Beta blockers to ease anxiety before high stress auditions, but that's not cheating either.

Young athlete trades a life of crime for the opportunity to excel
But but but...we shouldn't be putting any money into sports! It doesn't do anything to enhance a student's education. It's a waste of time, blah blah blah blah
Great story, congratulations young man!

Sound Off: Involuntary ear piercing
I've seen some kids' names that I would classify as abusive too. I submit that we call them all "boy" or "girl" until they reach the age of 5 and can name themselves. My son probably would have named himself "ball" or "sghetti" at that age. Nothing wrong with that...
