The order this week from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s pipeline safety arm covers 1,220 miles (1,963 kilometers) of the Keystone pipeline in seven U.S. states. Regulators already had ordered the system’s operator, Canada-based TC Energy, to reduce the pressure on a 96-mile (155-kilometer) segment of the pipeline from southern Nebraska near the Kansas border into central Kansas, where the spill occurred. The regulators’ action came ahead of the…

MANHATTAN, Kan. (K-State Athletics) – K-State scored 11 runs in the seventh inning to race away with a 20-4 game one victory against Youngstown State on Friday at Tointon Family Stadium. “Today was a great dress rehearsal for the Big 12 opening weekend for us,” said head coach Pete Hughes. “You have to set the tone and control the atmosphere on a Friday night, and we did that.” “It was challenging because of the weather.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature gave final approval Thursday to a ban on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports, and they appear for now to have the votes to override the Democratic governor’s expected veto.

Laura Kelly, as the state House approved it two weeks earlier on an 82-40 vote. Kelly vetoed two previous versions of the ban. Republicans made it a major issue when she ran for reelection last year, focusing…
