Crook was reportedly killed when someone walked up to the vehicle he was sitting in and opened fire.
But sports, like life, is rarely neat or sensible. Instead, Frank White will wear a different Kansas City uniform for the first time next season. The Kansas City T-Bones have hired White to be part of their coaching staff in a role that includes player evaluation and development.
Sophia Stockton, a student at MidAmerica Nazarene University, ordered a used textbook about terrorism from an Amazon user. When the book arrived, she flipped through the pages and "a little tiny package falls out with white powder in it," according to Fox 4. Demonstrating that she pays attention to lectures, Stockton told the TV station: "In class we talked about people sending bombs in the mail, and I thought of, you know, they send anthrax in the mail, too."
Stockton took the baggie to the local police, and officers asked her if she had ordered cocaine (not an advised study aid) with the book. "I was like, 'no,' " she told them. Good answer.
Police valued the cocaine at $300-$400.

| Exclusive - Kathleen Sebelius Extended Interview Pt. 1 | ||||

In case you missed Monday night's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, here is the show's namesake interviewing former Kansas Gov. and current Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about the Affordable Care Act. Part two of the interview is after the jump.
Name: Sara Hooser
Occupation: Store manager at Altar Bridal and designer of my new collection of wedding gowns called “Ila Bean Bridal”
Hometown: Overland Park
Current neighborhood: Downtown Overland Park
Who or what is your sidekick? My younger sister, Emily, and my English bulldog, Lucy. Emily lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which is my home away from home, so Lucy is my stand-in. If I could take her everywhere with me, I would! When I get ready to leave for work, she is sitting there by the front door wishing to come with me.
What career would you choose in an alternate reality? Dog groomer. As much as I love bridal and designing wedding gowns, I would love to chill with my pup and other canines all day.
Big news for sci-fi aficionados! Billy Dee Williams — Star Wars' Lando Calrissian — will make an appearance at Planet Comicon on March 24 and 25. Although, it does appear that Lando is a little sick of shuffling in and out of hotel banquet rooms and about life in Cloud City. The Planet Comicon's website makes it clear that he's only going to be available for a short time both days.
But the really good news here is that we have an excuse to watch Williams' brilliant work in Colt 45 commercials from the 1980s. The classic one is above. After the jump, there's a stranger, more conceptual one that surely is either based on Williams' role as Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman or led to his casting in the role.
The last camp of critics may be on to something. The Kansas City Star reports that a study by the Kansas City Police Department shows that red-light cameras have not reduced accidents at a majority of intersections where they have been installed. The department's analysis showed that accidents increased by 18 percent at 11 of the 17 intersections where red-light cameras were in use between 2009 and 2010.
We need to be honest about why red-light cameras exist. Their installation is a definitive revenue boom for the city. Safety is actually not the issue here. And please don't consider that a blanket dismissal of those who choose to run red lights — there is clearly a danger element attached to a car that is heading into an intersection where traffic from the left and right has a green light.
Original Story: Kansas City police are investigating a pair of suspicious deaths from Monday evening. Around 5 p.m., officers were called to Research Hospital after a gunshot victim, who was dropped off there, died.
After receiving info, the police went to search a home at 50th and Chestnut. There they found a second person dead inside the home. Neither of the victims' identities has been released. There is also no suspect info at this time.
If both deaths are declared homicides, KCMO's total for 2012 will be seven.
The Cannabis Care and Compassion Act, HB 2330, will be discussed tomorrow at an informational hearing of the Kansas House Committee on Health and Human Services. The measure, introduced by state Rep. Gail Finney (D-Wichita), would legalize and regulate the sale of medical marijuana in Kansas.
