Ferret owners press for rabies quarantine rule in Kansas
A Kansas City area group urged the KDHE to require ferret quarantines after bites rather than immediate killing. Ferret owners say pets can bite and should be observed, while KDHE officials note ferrets are sometimes killed to examine brains for rabies. A decision on proposed rules will come after hearings and further review.

Full scale test in works on a smoke free cigarette
The company promotes Eclipse as less biologically active due to lack of secondhand smoke, but anti tobacco scientists argue it emits more carbon monoxide, includes glass fibers that may be inhaled, and contains glycerine that can form a carcinogen when burned. Eclipse burns 25 mg of tobacco, and first puffs resemble a traditional cigarette. Glass fibers prevent flame spread, so inner tobacco mostly heats without smoke. Reynolds spent 300 million on a prior smoke less cigarette, Premier, with complaints about odor and smokability.

In rural Missouri a Monday tornado destroyed one trailer and damaged another. Forecasters noted nearly 24 inches of rain in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, the nation’s highest total. High Mississippi water shifted the Olympic torch voyage to a new location. Plains farmers welcomed drought relief rainfall, while Oklahoma and Kansas saw tornado-caused disruptions and damage. Sunday's Lee's Summit downburst caused estimated 10 million dollars in destruction with no serious injuries. Bulldozers cleared the wreckage as inspectors assessed salvageability.
