Fact of the day
There are 150 billion pennies in circulation today. 25 for every person on the planet, Pennies cost the U.S. Treasury. 7 cents each to mint, giving the treasury $4 million a year in profits. In late 2005, both the House of Representatives and Senate passed bills to issue commemorative pennies in 2009 for the 20th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth.

Restaurant closes; students lose jobs
A sign that read, "Sorry for the inconvenience but this location is closed," greeted customers looking for lunch at Uno Chicago Grill Monday.
The restaurant, 3333 Iowa St., closed Monday. It offered a bar and grill atmosphere and was part of a national chain that featured deep dish, Chicagos-style pizza.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2006
The managers informed employees Monday morning they would no longer have a job at the establishment, said JuliAnn Bauer, Winfield sophomore and server at Uno. Bauer said she was surprised by the news.
"Somebody at work had mentioned it, but when we asked the managers, they all said that they couldn't say anything," she said.
Bauer said Saturday, her last day at work, was actually pretty busy and had a normal crowd.
Danny Barkofske, Prairie Village sophomore, and also a server at Uno, said he had a feeling that Uno would close because the servers weren't making that much money.
Members of management for Uno would not comment on the
situation, and the corporate offices could not be reached for comment.
Bauer said the management staff was trying its best to ease the pain of employees losing their jobs by assisting them with locating new jobs because of the abrupt closure of the restaurant.
"They are calling other restaurants in the area to see if they can help out anybody," Bauer said. "I lucked out because I found new job last week. But it's hard for me to be happy because my friends are out of a job."

Rescued well baby marries at 19
MIDLAND, Texas — "Baby Jessica," whose dramatic rescue from an abandoned Texas well was televised across the country 18 years ago, got married in a private ceremony, People magazine reported on its Web site.
Crews struggled for 58 hours to rescue Jessica McClure after she fell into an 8-inch-wide pipe in October 1987.
The two met at a day care center where Morales' sister worked with McClure, according to the magazine.
The celebrity magazine reported that McClure, now 19, married Daniel Morales, 32, at a rural church outside Midland, Texas, on Saturday. A sign on the door instructed guests not to take pictures or video, the magazine said.

The case of 18-month-old Jessica created a nationwide sensation. Emergency crews rescued her — a dramatic moment covered on live television — after digging a parallel shaft and then breaking through the wall of the well.
SAG Awards surprise front-runners
LOS ANGELES — What had looked like a predictable Academy Awards season grew more intriguing with a few surprise winners at the Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday.
The ensemble drama "Crash" beat out Oscar front-runner "Brokeback Mountain" for the overall cast honor, the guild's equivalent of a best-film prize.
Sandra Bullock expressed mild wonder backstage about the outcome.
"I'm still a little surprised. Not that they won," Bullock said, referring to her co-stars, "but that I was part of the group that won."
Reese Witherspoon, as singer June Carter in "Walk the Line," won best actress over presumed Oscar favorite Felicity Huffman of "Transamerica."
And Paul Giamatti, of the boxing drama "Cinderella Man," earned the guild's supporting-actor honor over George Clooney of the oil-industry thriller "Syriana."
The guild's other film prizes were more predictable. Philip Seymour Hoffman took the best-actor prize for his role as author Truman Capote in "Capote," and Rachel Weisz earned the supporting-actress honor for the murder thriller "The Constant Gardener," in which she plays a rabble-rousing humanitarian-aid worker.

Bathroom peepholes cause student to move

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Heather Yates, a 27-year Olathe doctoral student, had been living at The Oaks, near the intersection of 23rd and Iowa streets, for only a few weeks after transferring to the University from the University of Missouri-Kansas City this semester.
Finding small peepholes in her bathroom last week compelled a KU student to move after only a month at her former apartment.
The mirror had been scratched with an object, Yates said, creating a spot on the mirror that made
"I can't sleep at night, and I just don't feel safe," Yates said.
Her father discovered the holes while using the bathroom during a family visit. What appeared to be a smudge on Yates' bathroom mirror turned out to be much more.
Above the spot on the mirror was a small hole in the wall's drywall and another hole about one and a half inches in length, she said. The two holes in the drywall align to enable a clear view of her bathroom, and further, into her bedroom.
it possible for someone to see through the other side.
She moved her possessions out of her apartment Monday. She found a new residency west of Iowa.
Yates is not satisfied with the Lawrence Police Department's investigation or the apartment manager's handling of her situation.
"Police and management are not taking this seriously, and that is absolutely ridiculous." she said.
Kim Murphree, a Lawrence Police spokeswoman, said police were still in the early stages of the investigation. She said undisturbed cobwebs behind the wall indicated that no
one had been spying there recently.
"We take every incident of this nature very seriously," Murphree said.
Murphree said although the responding officers did not observe any evidence of a video recording device attached to the wall, the department was looking into the incident.
Management at The Oaks could not be reached for comment Monday.
