Coalition backs option as health concerns loom over Kansas coal plant
Tri-State Generation spokesman says the 895 megawatt coal plant near Holcomb remains an option to meet member needs, with three quarters of capacity planned for Colorado. Environmentalists led by Amanda Goodin of the Sierra Club challenge the state permit, warning of pollution and health risks from nitrogen and sulfur oxides and mercury. The court hears arguments over whether to dissolve the permit and restart permitting.

Suspect in Colorado theater massacre applied to KU
James Holmes, the accused killer in the Aurora theater attack, applied to graduate school at Kansas University before enrolling in a neuroscience program at the University of Colorado, Denver. Records show Holmes applied to five other schools, including Texas A&M, Michigan, Alabama, and the University of Iowa, which released the information since he was not admitted. A University of Iowa professor urged against admission, and KU confirm Holmes withdrew before interviews. Iowa still reviewed the request for additional details.
