Father of slain toddler grieves in Missouri jail

This is very sad, but he is right that he does hold some responsibility in the death of his daughter as well as Kaylie, as much as Kaylie holds responsibility in the death of her daughter and herself. It doesn’t make much sense that she left her husband because of the way he was living his life to jump right back into the same situation with another guy. How smart was that move on her part? I think the one person who really lost in this tragedy is Lana-Leigh at being born to irresponsible and immature parents. What really ticks me off is where was the rest of the family in this? Why didn’t her parents or his get involved in making certain Lana-Leigh was safe and in a structured home? There is more to this then meets the eye. I don’t feel sorry for this man being in jail grieving for his daughter, not that I wish this sort of tragedy on anybody, but he made his bed now he has to lie in it. Having a career criminal in the family is too close to home for me so unless you live with it you have no idea how frustrating it is to try and help these people. At some point and time in life they just have to figure it out for themselves. Perhaps by the time he gets out of prison he’ll make better choices in his life and meet someone else, have more children and want to work toward a stable life and stay away from the drugs and criminal activity. One can only hope.

Kansas University must update a federal database at least every semester on international students’ status in school for the students’ visas to be renewed. Do you think the university should be responsible for keeping track of international students?

Yes it is the Universities responsibility partially, but in partnership with INS. The University applies for Visas for foreign students. At least they use to. That was one of my jobs when I worked for UMCP. To walk students through the process, to make certain they were updated and current. I don't t think the INS can handle this alone with all the Universities in this country. There has to be a portion Universities handle. However, I do think that the INS need to develop a better tracking system. For now though, INS needs reorganization. I think everyone there should be let go, except those who want change and will work to mandate change then the US needs to close all of our borders, until they can make certain all foreigners who have a Green card/Visa is current and updated. Then the US can open the border for one country at a time until they can perfect tracking these people. Then gently allow other countries to enter. It is the only way I see they can control this mess and keep the haters out of our country.

Small World celebrates 45 years of helping women learn English, American culture

This is great that we have this class...people who come to this country should be expected to speak English, because that is our native language. But we also need to teach our American women (and men) how to speak proper English as well. Of course it should be taught in school but isn't. It is disheartening when you hear a grown up (especially who has children) saying "I ain't got or He come over the other day and the most irritant is Where you at" No one says Yes, of course, but instead “Yea”. American English is being replaced by lazy, improper and slang vernacular. Not to mention the F-word and other curse words that is used frequently by our young folks. If I live another 40 years I wonder if I’d recognize our language?

Popular breakfast restaurant Milton's returning to downtown in space currently occupied by Loopy's

AWESOME!! Just hope their prices aren't too high. Milton's had great breakfast prices. Not many places I can afford to eat out, but loved Milton's egg's benadict. Looking forward to eating there. BY THE WAY....to put a bug in your ear....Don't know what's happened with the Mad Greek but their food has gone way downhill. Will never eat there again. Their Hummus was the most nasty tasting I've ever had. Their olives tasted rancid. The wonder white sauce (sp?) taste bland now and had slimmy little strings in it. Not to mention how the deceiving coupons they advertise. This use to be my favorite place to eat downtown, not anymore.

Attack leads survivor into role as sexual-assault victim advocate

Bravo for you Angela for sticking to it and seeing this demon is taken out of society so he cannot hurt another person. I had an almost similar experience only my attacker served only 25 years then let out, though I don't know what his whereabouts are or if he has returned to prison because it was in another state. Life does go on and live to never give them any power over us. However, I have learned to be more cautious of my soroundings because there are always other demons out there waiting for another opportunity to do their evil task. I remind young woman all of the time to pay attention and if it doesn't feel right then ask someone to walk with you or call someone. Never second guess. Unfortunately, this is our world today. God bless you Angela always.

House rejects exception from abortion restrictions for rape, incest, abuse victims

A young woman or adult woman raped by a relative or not should have the choice to decide an abortion and it should be covered under medical insurance. However, if a young woman or adult woman chooses to be careless and choose to have an abortion then no it should not be covered under medical insurance. There is enough education about birth control in this country for woman to know how to protect themselves from getting pregnant. Of course there is always that 1% accident that happens. But if women keep cranking out babies with no forethought of the consequences on society we are going to be in a boat load of trouble with over population.

KU, LMH partner for pilot program to decrease hospital readmissions

So if they received a grant who gets paid out of this money? Not those who do the leg work, just those who sit behind a desk. Yet volunteers do the leg work. More and more hospitals and other organizations are utilizing volunteers to do the work that paid employees use to do in the past. AND we wonder why the employment rate is on the rise. It is nice to volunteer if you can afford to do so. However, more and more folks over the age of 55 are needing paid employment because of the cost of living, lack of retirement funds. I just don't see how this will help to curb the cost of medical care. Its just another bandaid or coverup to hid or overpaid administrators.

Have you ever researched your family’s genealogy?

I've been able to research my father's side as far back at 1410 where my 16th Great Grandfather was born in Scotland - his son finally moved to England and married. 3 generations after that my 10th great grandfather is buried at Windsor Castle. He was an Archbishop to the Royal Duke (haven't found out which one yet). My 8th great grandfather immigrated to America. It was my 3rd great grandfather who made his mark in America by carving out a town on Lake Erie (Wilsontown, NY) which is now a Resort Town just below the abandoned town of Niagara. Most of my relatives are buried in the famous Greenwood Cemetary. My grandmother who lived her life out in Buffalo, NY is a cadaver in somewhere in the USA. My mother (Mother's side) of the family has been more difficult to research because of the conflicting stories I was told as a child. However, with my Mother's father I've been able to trace back to Thomas Jefferson who was a neighbor of my 9th great grandfather. An excellent book to read about geneology is Slaves in My Family by Edward Ball. Not only tells about his own journey of tracing his family geneology, but has a fabulous account of the history of the beginning of slavery in this country.
