Local radio executive launches Lawrence Internet radio station that plays '70s, '80s, '90s pop hits
I would be more likely to support this (i.e., LISTEN) if it wasn't so similar to the same cr_p that you can hear on any AM station across the country, as well as many FM stations. Top 40 from the 70s,80s and 90s - whoa boy, really going out on the cultural cusp there!
I concur with the first comment - bring back the old Lazer 105.9! And FWIW, Spacin Jason, the last I heard, was a fairly successful radio producer for the main NPR affiliate in Chicago.

Turning the tide: As traditional churches see interest wane, upstarts draw in young people
You can help people and be nice to people because it's the right thing to do. You don't need a church to tell you that in order to facilitate the action.

Catholic Cardinals choose 266th pope
I'm just happy this Papal Sausage Fest is over. They are men. Just like us. No closer to G-O-D than my homeless friend under the bridge. I take that back... my friend IS closer to God.

Interstate 70 reopens to one lane in each direction following tractor trailer accident and fire.
Would you guess at this point that the Turnpike east of Lawrence will remain closed (eastbound, at least) past 7:00 a.m.?

Lions, Firebirds volleyball fall at sub-state
My name is Ken Miller, and my daughter plays for FSHS. So my credibility already surpasses this Homey person and grandma, too.
I get it when there is a level of frustration that needs to be expressed after both Free State and Lawrence ended their seasons much earlier than they wanted, and in Free State's case, much earlier than expected. I also get it that with any team - high school, college or pro - there is going to be a certain amount of drama within, and how that team handles that drama has a lot to do with the level of success achieved. I can only speak about Free State's season with any accuracy, but I watched a team this season with more talent than they've had in the three years I've been paying attention. This FSHS team won the Seaman tournament, beating several teams that will be going to State next week. FSHS also was the runner-up in the Emporia tournament, losing the championship match to the team that will likely win the 6A state championship again. This team also stomped LHS - twice - before losing in four sets last week. In that match, Lawrence played outstanding volleyball. But for a host of reasons nobody can accurately depict, we came up flat in Substate. Stuff happens.
My point is this: you can't blame coaching for the way FSHS's season finished out, and I suspect you can't blame Coach Magnusson for the way their season went. I CAN fix some blame on the drama that I saw unfold in FSHS's season - ridiculous accusations that unfortunately took focus away from volleyball and placed it on a$$inine issues - as a partial explanation. What our family and my daughter have chosen to do is use this as a lesson in how to deal with adversity - way beyond just volleyball, but career, life, etc. And with that, she will lace 'em up for club season and be that much more prepared.
