Lawrence couple build an eco-friendly, round home
Confucius say: Calculate square feet in round house, easy as pi.
In this case, the diameter of a 2100sf. house would be a little under 52 feet across...probably pretty close based on the appearance of the (standard?) 36" / 3' front door.
Down side is building materials are generally made for square houses/corners and standard 8' ceilings. A lot of wasted corners/ends in circle construction.

Kansas’ budget shortfall narrows as revenue picture brightens
Seems logical. Cutting income tax a little means people had just a bit more money in their pockets... which they then spent right back into the economy...making the whole thing go back 'round and netting the state additional income on the sales side.

SLT 2nd most expensive project on state’s list
Kansas is doing OK - millions in surplus I believe. (It's mainly a 'blue' Douglas county surrounded by a 'red' state, don't forget) It's the Federal Government which is not only broke, but has mortgaged our futures, our kids futures and our kids,kids futures with debit.

SLT 2nd most expensive project on state’s list
Interestingly, the state had offered to extend the wetlands by several hundred acres, add visitors centers and trails in exchange for the small scrap of land for the highway - but this would increase the cost by millions.
As it stands, I don't think an 'agreement' was ever reached - time simply ran out and the opposition failed to make additional court filings. Does this mean no additional swamp, no visitors center and a lower overall cost for the project?

Prison chief says 10 percent budget cut would hurt public safety
Your initial statement seems to be false. 5x16 = 80, yet here is bread .69 per loaf:
Topeka HyVee @topekahyvee
.69 cent sandwich bread on sale NOW. This deal is for everyone and once it's gone.... it's gone. http://fb.me/1zti8UFod
It's probably cheaper than that if you can find a day-old bread outlet and/or buy in bulk and/or ...gulp...have a work detail at the prison make their own bread from bulk ingredients. But then that would be A) work and B) teach a skill which could be used on re-entering society.

Color Run Lawrence
Lung cancer or Asthma cure perhaps...judging from the photos! I'm wondering if a liquid pigment might be more conducive to actually being able to breathe while running?

Wichita man appeals 27-year sentence over 'sexting'
Clearly they both could have used better judgement. But this case does highlight just how ludicrous laws have become. The guy might not have received much worse of a sentence actually raping or killing her vs having a simple image on a cell phone.
If he could have just waited a few years until she was 18, he could have the photo, AND arrange to meet up with her, AND pay her for sex, *AND video tape the whole encounter, AND post it on the internet for all to see* - perfectly legal.
You will notice the last two criteria are emphasized* - these are actually a legal requirement. Meeting up, and paying for sex in a private room would be considered prostitution - thus illegal. Videotaping it and putting it up for public view reduces it to simple pornography...perfectly legal.
