Former KU student arrested for botched armed robbery; second suspect in hospital with gunshot wound
We also complained to the city about that house. It was obvious what was going on over there. The tenants didn't even bother to try to conceal it in any way. Yet the city did nothing. To learn now that other neighbors were complaining too makes me even more angry than I was before. Why were our complaints ignored? And what about the (apparently absentee) landlord who takes no responsibility for allowing the property to be used the way it has been? This is how neighborhoods go down the crapper and the city doesn't care.

City, County would pay to keep open state SRS office under proposal announced Monday
This hits the nail on the head. They can call it a compromise, but last I checked, a compromise is when both sides give up something. What has SRS given up in this "deal?" With the $200,000 in federal money and $250,000 from us, they give up nothing. We provide a "free" office (that we already pay for through state taxes), essentially covering the approx. $250,000 annual increase in administrative costs through the salaries for top SRS positions, including the new faith-based programs director position. And of course (as the poster below points out) we find out the legislature told SRS to cut $1 million from administration costs in Topeka, not close offices, as SRS claimed. Under these circumstances, why should we be blackmailed into paying for SRS's failure to follow the legislative's directive by covering what the legislature intended it to continue to fund??
I do not want the Lawrence office closed--it provides a vital service. And a real compromise, in which SRS actually puts some skin in the game, would even be okay. But this deal is simply outrageous and unacceptable.

What is your favorite cereal?
Hmmm, how was this OTS asked on July 10, in daylight, when it is just now the early morning hours of July 10? As for the question--I want me some Cap'n Crunch!

Walking in a sanitation worker’s shoes
Thank you for such a fun and interesting article! I second the "thank you" to the sanitation workers, especially those who come down our alley every Tuesday morning! You guys do a great job! I remember when I was a kid (quite a few years ago) my Dad used to put out a 6-pack of beer for the trash men on the last pick-up before Christmas. From the article, it sounds like these days they wouldn't be allowed to keep it. Too bad.
I agree that an insider's view on a lot of local jobs would make for interesting reading. More suggestions:
14. Animal Control Officer or Humane Society employee
15. Pet World
I don't know about Kris_H's suggestion 13: IT help desk job. Not much to write about when the "help" they provide is only: "Have you rebooted? Yes? Well, sorry, we must be experiencing system difficulties." Or: "There's no way to recover the unsaved version of that document you lost when Word crashed, sorry."
School janitor would be cool--I wanna know if they still use that sawdust stuff to clean up when someone tosses their cookies.

Natural pet care: Acupuncture, herbs alternative treatments for animals
Based on my experience, I can say Dr. King is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Trey was suffering from chronic liver failure. He had 2 really bad episodes where he almost didn't make it. After the 2nd one, the vet said there was really nothing that could be done for him but hope to slow the progression and that he had maybe 6 months.
Not willing to give up, I decided to try making his food to see if that would help. I needed help with what vitamins and supplements to put in it. That is how I found Dr. King. She prescribed vitamins and supplements for his homemade diet, as well as Chinese herbs, homeopathics, and antioxidant injections, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. It is now over a year and a half later and Trey is thriving. His liver enzymes went from off-the-charts to high-normal, he looks better and, best of all, he acts like he feels 100% better. I know that, without the homemade diet combined with Dr. King's treatments, Trey would not be here right now. I'll be the first to admit I was skeptical of the herbal/homeopathic/energy stuff at first, but the results speak for themselves, as far as I am concerned.
Thank you so much, Dr. King, for everything you have done for Trey. You are the best.
