I was trying to figure that out too, madpoet. The nearest exit north of Emporia is 20 miles out, which means that Kinzie would have driven about 10 miles in the wrong direction. I'd like to think that the toll booth worker would have noticed, but I don't know if all of the toll booths have those automatic ticket dispensers now?
He could have turned in one of those emergency vehicle pass-throughs.
Regardless, it's terrible tragedy.

Renee Flott is an incredible, caring pet sitter. I'm so glad to see she's being recognized for her work.

Totally understand. I was just pointing out that schools could be the same size and be D1 or D2, because that designation is strictly based on what the school offers in terms of athletics, not the actual size of the school. In theory, if ESU wanted to commit to pumping more cash into its athletics program, it could become a D1 school. ESU is, for example, the same size as Wake Forest.

goodoleboy - the D1 and D2 designations don't have to do with the size of the school; it has to do with the size and money spent on the athletic program. If you want to talk about school size, you go with whether a school is a Research 1 or Research 2, or a non-phD degree granting school. This will give you a better sense of the actual school - the number of faculty, research dollars, student population, etc.
For example, the undergraduate enrollment at Notre Dame was only 8,451 in 2007, with just over 3,300 graduate students. UCLA, which is also a D1 athletic program, has 25,928 undergraduates and 11,548 graduate students.

I believe strongly in keeping salaries competitive and ensuring that people making enough money to live. But I think it's ridiculous that these presidents have been out in the community preaching about how the state will be cutting funding and the universities have to make cuts, let positions sit unfilled, and raise tuition and then accept a pay increase for themselves.
Here is my question: are any other university employees getting any sort of bump in pay? You know, the people who don't have a house and car and gas provided for them, and thus REALLY feel the increase in daily living expenses?

The difference between cell phones and those phones in the backs of headrests is that the headrest phones cost something like $18 a minute to use. Most people didn't talk on them for five straight hours.

Here is an interesting question: Is a privately owned business really a public space?
