quote of the day
"I'm a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It's a pretty dumb animal, mind you."
—Sophia Loren
fact of the day
Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet (1.8 meters). These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 mph (56 kilometers per hour) over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 mph (16 kilometers per hour) over longer distances.

KANSAS Gov. Sebelius vetoes abortion restriction bill
Judge Donald Bostwick set a hearing on Thursday for the doctor to sign a list of conditions for his release. His order was stayed to allow parties a chance seek review of his decision.
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetoed a bill Monday imposing new restrictions on abortion providers and allowing lawsuits to block late-term procedures, arguing it could deny women life-saving medical care.
WICHITA — A federal judge ruled Monday that a Kansas physician jailed for allegedly illegally prescribing medication can be freed on bond later this week while awaiting his trial.
But abortion opponents scoffed at her arguments and said Sebelius' action showed that she held radical views. Some supporters of the bill predicted an attempt to override Sebelius' veto when the Legislature returns April 30 from its annual spring break.
The ruling comes four months after Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, were arrested on a 34-count indictment linking their clinic to 56 overdose deaths. A decision on whether his wife will be released is pending results from a psychological examination.
Wichita doctor can be released before trial
Sebelius, an abortion rights supporter, objected most strongly to provisions allowing a patient's spouse or family members to go to court if they believed a doctor had performed or was about to perform an illegal late-term abortion. The patient herself also could sue.
The measure was partly a response to allegations that Dr. George Tiller has performed illegal late-term abortions at his Wichita clinic. Tiller, among the few U.S. physicians performing such procedures, has said he follows state law.
The governor said in her veto message that such a lawsuit could be filed to block a patient's abortion "even where it may be necessary to save her life." She said the bill would encourage litigation and jeopardize patients' privacy.
FORT SMITH, Ark. — Police have arrested a pizza parlor manager alleging he sold marijuana out of his drive-through window in Fort Smith, Ark.
