Winners don't rest
KU's success earlier this year with the Margin of Excellence was good news.
But Jessie Branson knows that winners don't rest.
Through four terms in the Kansas House, Jessie's been plugging a simple message to her colleagues:
KU educates the state's young. It generates a culture that attracts fresh resources and energies to Kansas. Such contributions merit support.
Jessie Branson persists. People like that have a way of getting things done.
Vote Jessie again.

KCI Airport to eliminate all pay toilets
'Holy Smithereens!' Joker bombs Robin
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pay toilets will soon be a thing of the past at Kansas City International Airport.
Herb Gile, airport terminal manager, said yesterday that he has ordered the removal of all pay toiletls by Monday. About one-fourth of the toilet stalls at the airport cost 10 cents to use.
"With Branif being a hub operation, people are coming in on one flight and trying to catch a connecting flight," Gile said. "So there's more usage of the restrooms anyway, and we've heard a lot of complaints about the time it takes to utilize the pay toilet."
The 10-count charge generated about $15,000 a year, said Delbert F. Karmelier, director of the city's Aviation Department. "We'll try it without the pay toilets for awhile, but we did find that 15 to 20 percent of people used them even when the free ones were available," he said.
NEW YORK — He's punched out the Penguin, wrestled the Ridder and crushed the Catwoman. But after 48 years of crime-busting, Robin, Batman's earnest if excitable teen-age sidekick, has been blown to bits by the Joker.
The Associated Press
Death comes next week for Robin when DC Comics distributes Batman issue No. 428, the third installment of the four-part "A Death in the Family," in which the younger half of the Dynamic Duo is blown up by the clown prince of crime.
"It was very odd. I realize all this stuff is made up, but everybody here felt like the family of an accident victim, waiting for the doctor to come out and say, 'There's still hope,'" said Dennis O'Neil, editor of the Batman series.
series.
But it won't be the Joker, Batman creator Bob Kane, or O'Neil
facing murder charges for the killing of Robin — it's the readers of the Batman comics who voted in a phone-in poll to write off the teen superhero born in 1940.
A 900 number was set up on September 15-16 by DC to allow fans to phone in the fate of Robin. It was the first time DC has allowed its readers to decide a character's future, said O'Neil, who also killed off Batgirl in the late 1960s.
The final totals: 5,343 for the death penalty, 5,271 against.
Oooof!
O'Neil promises that Robin won't be coming back; the comics, unlike television's "Dallas," will not take the easy way out, he promised.
"We're not going to pull a Bobby Ewing. There will be no dream sequence," said O'Neil. "He's dead. He's gone."
Diamond found inside woman after 52 years
"That's the only way it could have happened," Virginia Argue said
The Associated Press
ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Doctors operating on a woman to remove a cancerous tumor found instead a small diamond she believes fell into her reproductive tract 52 years ago during the Caesarean delivery of her daughter.

"She laughed and said a lot of people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but she was born with a diamond," he said.
