House passes bill requiring porn filters at public libraries
Anyone who has any information should contact the Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.
TOPEKA — The House approved a bill yesterday requiring public libraries to install technology to shield minors from Internet pornography and to prevent children from borrowing R-rated videos and DVDs.
The proposed "Children's Internet Protection Act," sent to the Senate on a 71-52 vote, also would require the state
to pay for computer software or other technology before the filtering requirements would take effect. The measure would apply to city, county or township libraries but not to those in schools or universities.

Where's the cheapest place to buy stamina?

This sounds like a silly question, but there is actually some variation in cost. Most stamp outlets such as post offices, grocery stores, etc, charge only the face value of stamps: 37 cents for a 37 cent stamp. Buying stamps from a machine, or from certain stores (like the Jayhawk Bookstore), can cost you more. It's often just a trade-off for convenience.
