25 years ago: First Kansan wins multistate lottery
Anyone know how these folks are doing now? I hope they weren't like some lottery winners who lost all their money.

Lawrence home sales continue rise in 2013, builders begin to pick up pace on new construction
We put ours on the market in mid-February. It was slow for a while, but right after spring break traffic picked up considerably. It sold a week later. We then had a difficult time finding a new one to buy because there just weren't that many on the market, and the ones in our price range were going fast. After looking at pretty much everything even close to our range, we feel blessed to have found a great home. We moved a week ago (the hottest day of the year so far), but it was worth it!

Have you ever had a memorable summer job?
My best friend and I spent a summer living in Dix Hills on Long Island. We lived in the guest cottage of some of her relatives and worked the drive-thru at the Burger King in Commack during the evening. We met some great people and got to know NYC fairly well, but the best part was having time free during the day to go to the beach.

100 years ago: Lawrence man sued for 'alienation of affections'
Wow -- defendants definitely got a speedy trial 100 years ago. The accident was on April 25th, and by May 7th the arguments were over, and the case was in the hands of the jury.

Industry, beauty and antiques collide at North Lawrence corner
Great article about great shops! I especially love Amy's Attic, French Accent, and Bebe's Cottage. They have unique pieces at good prices with terrific customer service.

Open access to research, long a focus at KU, now grabbing national headlines
They need to find a way to "punish" the for-profit commercial publishers (e.g. Elsevier) without hurting the society-based, non-profit publishers. So far, all of the steps the government has taken seem to have caused more difficulties for the non-profit publishers and have done little to change the predactory practices of the commercial ones.

Poll shows low approval rate for Brownback
I was one of the voters called for this poll. It was my first time to be included in something like that. In the midst of all the serious political questions, they asked my favorite baseball team, favorite football team, and whether I preferred KU or K-State. Pretty good way to keep some interested during a long computer-generated call.

Senate committee recommends workers' comp bill backed by business, opposed by labor
What do other states use? Does moving to the 6th edition bring us in line with what others are already doing? Or, do other states use a completely different set of guidelines?

100 years ago: Advertisers tout cold remedies, hair tonic, non-prickly underwear
I'm suffering with a cold myself and was wondering where I could buy some Pape's Cold Compound. Being cured after three doses sounds mighty impressive. ;-)
