Police look into shooting
Based on what KVOE reported, I don't think the police or the hospital are releasing whether the guy is still alive.

One last time
I didn't always agree with you, Mr. Kelley. Once in a while, I wondered if *you* were the yahoo. But I always took the time to think about what you wrote, because you wrote things that merited consideration.
Even when it was just obvious you were wrong. :)
Best wishes.

Acclaimed author Don Coldsmith dies
What a loss for the literary world and our community.

Crime of the week
I'm just puzzled over what you'd *do* with a bunch of candy and gum dispensers. How very odd.

The decision at Newman
Newman was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Quality care costs money. As much as this hurts, both for the employees and the community, it's better than short-staffing every single department. In a hospital especially, overworked and exhausted staff can lead to deadly mistakes. Even having too few people in admissions can mean accidentally mis-entering data like drug allergies and conditions.
I am hopeful that those displaced by the decision will be able to find work quickly.

Emporia Parents told ‘Energy Drinks’ bad for kids
At what point will parents be allowed to parent their own children?

The name of hatred
I agree that these children were done a tremendous disservice in naming these children. But who would be the right agency to determine what is and isn't right? Based on the German naming system, there would be no children in the U.S. getting popular names like Jordan (male or female), Jamie (male or female), Harper (a last name), or Cooper (a last name). Since statistics show that employers will likely look down upon resumes with ethnic names, I would assume any name reflecting heritage will be a problem. But then, whose heritage will be the right one? We'd eventually end up with children named for their chromosomes. XX and XY, and then the occasional XXX (which would probably trigger the naming police) and other variants.
It seems to me that parents willing to name their kids after Nazi leaders are very likely exercising other forms of abuse that could more easily be tackled by SRS.

The breakdown of provisional ballots is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
