NORMAN, Okla. (AP)– Buddy Hield and No. 2 Oklahoma bounced back from their difficult loss to Kansas with an impressive shooting performance against Kansas State. Hield scored 31 points to lead the second-ranked Sooners to an 86-76 victory over the Wildcats on Saturday.

The Kansas Court of Appeals has reversed and remanded with directions in a two year old Geary County case. The STATE OF KANSAS v. LOAN TRAN case involves Tran appealing the district court’s denial of her oral motion to withdraw her plea.

On January 30, 2014, the State charged Tran with one count of possession of methamphetamine and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. The State later amended its complaint, charging Tran with two counts of possession of methamphetamine and…

TOPEKA — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has issued a new, broader executive order telling state agencies that they can’t assist with resettling refugees who are security risks. The order issued by the governor Friday applies to any refugees presenting a security risk to the state.

The Republican governor issued an executive order in November that applied specifically to Syrian refugees. Like the previous order, the new one also is aimed at preventing organizations that receive state grant money from helping relocate refugees. The…
