Bowersock officially opens $25 million power plant on the Kaw
And to run two of those four turbines they have to raise the dam level and back water up the Kansas River. And it still ain't enough.
Not to mention the boondoggle - so we have a hydro plant. Doesn't make a dent in the spewing coal plant that is Lawrence's memorable landmark on the turnpike.

Republicans push through proposal blocking the desires of advocates for the developmentally disabled
...the moral test of a person is how that person treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

Letter: Evil deeds
Carl, did you even read the verses you quoted? Verses 3 and 5 start with "No" in answer to "did they sin more than the others to deserve this?" Then he makes a global statement about repentence.
Likewise in John when the disciples asked whether the man blind from birth sinned, or did his parents sin to deserve this? Jesus answered "no" again.
The first century world had the view that if bad things happened to you then you deserved it. If good things happened to you or you were rich, then you deserved it. Does this sound familiar? This is the way most people believe today. And especially our governnor, who believes that the poor obviously did something to deserve it.

'Green' theology scholar preaches return to our roots
Blah.
Let's get real - until the last hundred years or so man had a diet consisting of meat and bread. Vegetarianism, or any significant part of the diet being vegetables, was "unsustainable" here and anywhere north because of growing seasons.
Not only that but the major religions Christianity, Judaism, and Islam do not have earth worship as part of their faith.

Kansas Department of Agriculture preparing for move to Manhattan
This is a roundabout way to cut the employee head count for the KDA. "We are moving. Oh yeah, you need to move yourself."

Kim may have overplayed his hand
Blah.
North Korea has enough ordinance pointed at Seoul that it would wipe it out in 15 minutes. Then we would blow NK apart? Unlikely.
China talks all restrained. But in the Korean War they pored across the border. We were fighting a proxy war against China. Not much different now.

Opinion: Song’s racial theme misses mark
It is "racist" for Pitts to use the phrase "somebody ought to pull his black card".
He says that "walking a mile in someone else's skin" is essentially trite, but when they don't go deep enough to experience his not-so-"mysterious and exotic" blackness then a person fails and it damages their racial street cred.
"Drop your presumptions...and listen to somebody". It goes both ways. One of my good friends is black, although not that that factoid matters. When he walked downtown Wichita and rarely saw a black professional person's face, he lamented. When he moved from Wichita to Virginia and saw black professionals who were numerous, and remarkably "normal" he was so pleased that he had to tell me all about it.
And yet Pitts would also excoriate these people for "not being black enough", for "being white", and he would likely "pull their black cards" too.
