Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center
Safe for who? Not for the child who is killed, and in some cases, not for the mother either.

Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center
Both have some advantages. Embryonic stem cells can be used in more ways but adult stem cells are less likely to be rejected by the body. If they are MUCH more useful then I'm sure the private money will follow.

Drought, state budget on minds of newspaper publishers gathered at KU
I've thought about a similar concept before. It was very difficult that summer to see so much destruction on one side of the state while the other half was parched.
Most farmers irrigate directly from ground water, not reservoirs. I wonder if it would be possible to just pump water directly into the aquifers? I don't know how difficult something like that would be.
If this was all feasible it would be much more effective on a national scale.

Alumnus makes $500,000 gift to KU's national-power debate team
Maybe if President Obama taxed Mr. Pittaway more we could let the government take that money and distribute it to a lot of different schools. That would make the playing field even for all the schools.

Statehouse Live: Brownback's budget calls for no increase next year in school funding; abolishing mortgage interest tax deduction
Liberals have such a knee-jerk reaction to anything the governor does that they cant get on this website to bash him fast enough. Democrats should like the interest deduction part of this article. It creates effective tax rates that are even more progressive. You can throw out individuals like Charles Koch and use them to characterize "the rich" but the truth is there are very few people in the state in Koch's position. The majority of rich people who buy a house that fits their means will have a larger mortgage, and they will feel the impact of this most. Their income will continue to be redistributed to the poor.
On a somewhat related note - I know many middle class families who have paid off their mortgages. For someone who manages their money well and makes paying off their mortgage a priority, it's not that uncommon.

Do you think incoming freshmen at Kansas University should all be required to take certain classes?
I agree. Students go to college to learn. So why not let them focus their time and tuition on learning more about their chosen area of study? If a student wants to take a wider variety of liberal arts courses that is fine, but they shouldn't be required to.

Do you think incoming freshmen at Kansas University should all be required to take certain classes?
And did you feel like your education was incomplete, or did the quality of your education suffer because you didn't take college algebra?

Webb leaving Eudora football to coach in Independence, Mo.
I've got to think the money must be pretty good. I'm not sure why else someone would uproot their family and move to a town known as "the meth capitol of the world" to take over a team that went 1-9 this year.
