No one is seriously trying to attribute a color scheme to binge drinking right? If so, do you propose beer manufacturers deliver their product in a hideous paisley or plaid design?
KU and KSU are mad because they aren't churning a profit. The colors on the can are irrelevant folks.

This is getting exciting... week after week not knowing who will win first, the Chiefs or ESU... Is it basketball season yet?

Times are tough. How about open tryouts for the kicker's scholarship. Or just take the winner of the halftime punt/pass/kick contest...

Is this really a big issue? Last time I checked, we're not quite hosting Mardi Gras down on Commercial street. I would much rather see our police patrolling the streets to deter/arrest DUIs than trying to cut down on the number of college kids peeing on the bushes in a dark alley. Perhaps we find something to complain about that doesn't wash away in the rain?

Wal-Mart sucks and should be avoided whenever possible. Buy local. Buy American.

I've been there a few times already and quite likely during that time window. Everything was delicious and I felt fine afterwards. I ate too much but that was my own fault! Sounds like an isolated incident.

Looks like we've reached the 15 minute mark in Palin's 15mins of fame. If she runs in 2012 it may be the biggest loss in election history. She had little experience before but atleast no one had any time to form a long-term distaste for her. Resume as of now... experience as Gov. of Alaska: 1. ran for VP while in office and lost 2. resigned.
Her running in 2012 is about as likely as the Detroit Lions winning the SuperBowl this year. Actually winning? ....same odds.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a typical college that would cry a river over the compensation of college athletes. The finance end is stacked considerably in the favor of the university but the athletes aren't left empty handed by any means. They pay nothing for the same things the rest of us had to pay a large sum of money for. Full-ride scholarships, unlimited access to on-campus dining, and housing stipends to name a few. Sounds tough. Glad I took the easy path and stretched my budget to still be paying for it all.
The concept of college centers around the idea of deferred gratification whether it's athletes or "the rest of us." I'm sure Michael Beasley wasn't making a lot of money during his year at KSU but I think life is turning out well for him. I bet times were pretty tough for the KU basketball team after winning a National Championship. College athletes are building their professional sports resumes to potentially make more money than most of us can fathom. The rest graduate with the same bachelor's degree as everyone else.
If you ever feel sorry for the college athletes, think about all of that money you never made at your internships, student-teaching, volunteering, or any of the other unpaid activities that made up your college experience. Still feeling sad? I'm sure your alma mater is doing a donation drive for the athletic dept.

Steve, thank you for pointing out how asinine the study is. Who would really argue that indoor air is "more clean" than air outside? The simple concept of "wind" should be the only explanation as to why that is the case. Who's even making an argument that second hand smoke is healthy? How about the air inside the waiting room at the doctor's office? I'm sure that inside air couldn't make anyone sick, or could it? How could that be?!?!? No one smokes in there. Needless research, moot points.
Apparently these "researchers" have plenty of time to fritter away so I'll offer up a suggestion. Perhaps they should test air quality in Lincoln Village, Four Seasons, and houses near the highway. All of that exhaust, tire particle polution, and of course litter can't be good for anyone. Perhaps CAE should try to ban I-35. That sounds about as ridiculous as trying to tell business owners how to run their business. Vote No.

I'm sure the economic climate going from bad to worse in the last couple of years had nothing to do with the decision... by Lowe's. A national chain. City officials might be able to attract new businesses to town but you might be asking too much if you think they can control the economy or the decision-making of a home improvement giant with hundreds of stores in the US.
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Do we really need another hardware store?
