Yes, I meant that as a pun on the name of the place, but you got the right idea.

KU student arrested after fight sends Lawrence man to trauma center

Fraternal types. White, moneyed, young with a huge sense of entitlement. It also boasts more than a fair share of sexual assaults.
You know, the sort of entitlement that leads to white collar crime, rarely prosecuted through the Good Old Boy network.
I suspect there is a group out of there that considers themselves a sort of "Fight Club", I have been with a male friend who was suddenly jumped on and punched in the face by two of these "toughs" who then fled the scene.

Lawrence man with disability found safe after going missing from group home

We're very glad to see the update that Andrew has been found safe.

I'd really like for the LJW to consider using the term "lives with" regarding disabilities, rather than "suffers from", unless that was a direct quote from the mother. It's rather insensitive and sensationalizing to assume that someone is "suffering" from a disease or disability that is a part of their daily lives, no matter how different from ours it may seem.

There is a volunteer or staff member that goes out to Petco.

Funny Facebook users stay away from politics, KU researchers find

Not my experience either. I have friends who post hilarious things, personal stories AND political posts all in the same day.
Those who don't find them funny need to lighten up a bit. I enjoy the posts and the jokes even when we don't see eye to eye, whether politics or humor. Charlie Sheen's "WINNING!!" catch phrase got old very quickly, so I'm thinking that this study was done at least a year or two ago.

Or maybe I just have very eclectic friends.. was there any categorizing of the age groups of these said posters? I've noticed that older folks that tend to post political blurbs and take them very seriously haven't quite "gotten" the gist of Facebook humor.

Residents upset at theft of American flags from retirement community

Flags may be flown at night provided there is a full spotlight on them.

I'm so sorry for the disappointment felt by those residents. Some people can be mean and thoughtless.

Would you rather go to: Art in the Park or to an antique car swap meet?

Since the swap meet is only until noon today, "both" are easy enough to do!

Burglar steals jewelry from home while resident sleeps

You are good pet owners, and I commend you for that.
I am saying that *some* people who get a dog strictly as an alarm for intruders are not so responsible, and it's wise to note that if someone is considering a dog for protection only, maybe they first consider if they are also willing to be good pet owners. A dog is inherently happier with a "pack" or family, not just as a convenient burglar alarm. I'm sure that you understand what I mean, and may have even been witness to inconsiderate pet owners like that.
