Local Homicide investigation leads outside of Douglas County
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the murder of Carmin Ross-Murray, who was found in her home north of Lawrence on Nov. 14.
Officers responded to a call from the victim's fiance who had been unable to contact her on the telephone. An autopsy of the victim has been completed but the coroner's report has not been released.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has not released information on how Ross-Murray died. It is treating the investigation as a homicide. Officers were stopping traffic at an intersection near Ross-Murray's home last week to ask drivers if they had seen anything suspicious in the area.
Investigators have followed more than 100 leads, according to Lt. Kathy Tate of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. Some of the leads have led outside of Douglas County.

Nation Republicans work to push stalled energy legislation
WASHINGTON — Hoping to rescue energy legislation stalled in the Senate, Republicans were discussing elimination of a controversial provision to give legal protection to the makers of MTBE, a gasoline additive found to contami-
These sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Senate and House officials, as well as the Bush administration, have discussed the suggestion, but no decisions have been made.

Another GOP source emphasized that House Republican leaders so far have refused to give in on the MTBE liability protection. This source expressed doubt that a solution can be reached over the next three days, meaning an energy bill probably would have to be put off until next year. The energy bill, a top priority of President Bush, is stymied in the Senate. Supporters fell two votes short of the 60 needed to advance it to final passage last week.

President of Georgia resigns; protesters celebrate in streets
The Associated Press
TBILISI, Georgia — Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadzir resigned yesterday as the opposition threatened to storm his residence. His fall sparked fireworks and dancing among tens of thousands of protesters, and ended a political crisis astonishing for its speed and lack of violence in a blood-washed region.
Shevardnadze's resignation caps a political career during which he won admiration in the West by helping guide the Cold War to an end as Soviet foreign minister under Mikhail Gorbachev. But during 10 years as president of Georgia, he became despised for rampant corruption.
Residents of Tbilisi poured into streets and partied late into the night after the resignation was announced.
Georgia lies at a crossroads important to both the United States and Russia, on the planned path of an oil pipeline between the landlocked Caspian Sea and the ports of the Black Sea. The Caucasus nation has seen two bloody separatist movements under Shevardnadze's rule since 1992. New parliament elections are planned within 45 days. Until then, an interim government headed by opposition figure Nino Burdzhanadze will run the ex-Soviet republic.

What's that statue in front of Blake Hall? That would be the "Pioneer Statue," formerly known as the Corn Planter. Presented by Dr. Simeon Bell and sculpted by his friend F.C. Hibbard, the Pioneer Statue has been around for nearly one hundred years. The pioneer currently is planting corn between Blake and Fraser Halls, facing west. The date of "1856" at the statue's base is a mystery.
