Oklahoma City tornado sparks discussion of building code standards at Lawrence City Hall
I had the same thought... They ARE renovating, anyway, so it would make sense to modify buildings to withstand weather we will probably eventually see. An "interior room" isn't going to cut it if we have a storm with the magnitude of those in Joplin or Oklahoma City.

Opinion: Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?
Nope. Just covered it, ignored the warnings, then attacked the wrong country for a fabricated reason!

Opinion: Accusations paralyzing government
Actually, under Bush, any organization that was deemed "Socially Liberal" was subjected to the exact same scrutiny following the implementation of the Patriot Act.

Opinion: Accusations paralyzing government
Let me get this straight. A political group, whose WHOLE platform is, "Taxes are EVIL! We're not gonna pay taxes, and you can't make us!", is wondering why they are being investigated by the very agency whose job it is to make sure taxes are paid fairly, and they're surprised? Huh.

Mortality rates down at KU trauma, burn centers
A Level I Trauma Center is not the place people go when they have the flu or a splinter. They need a chest cracked, brains put back in their heads, blood transfusions, cardiac drugs, or IMMEDIATE surgery, if they are going to live. Since the only person who can actually pronounce a person "dead", or authorize the ending of resuscitation is a physician, the people with leaking brains and important body parts not quite attached end up in the Emergency Department, where many go just for the sole purpose of being "pronounced", and some of your, "Holy cow, no WAY that one is going to live" cases end up doing just that, because of Level I care. This does increase the mortality index for those EDs. It would stand to reason that LMH, Providence, or any of the other smaller hospitals, without a Neurosurgeon on site 24/7, wouldn't get the more terminal emergencies, thus decreasing their mortality index.
Hope that made sense. (No coffee, yet!)

Different call center. I used to get people in one of the Dakotas, and recently dealt with Georgia.

The people who have helped me on the telephone with WOW have FAR exceeded the customer service capabilities of the Knology folks, also. Very refreshing!

I agree! Sunflower, for all of its imperfections, was excellent compared to what we ended up with.
