Producers Brad Brown and Bobby Cyphers, executive producers Scott Costa and Bill Siegel, meterologist Steve Templeton and photographer Rob Love. Which is why we're choking the in-house e-mail system sending around tastel...
It talks about the problem that kills more people than auto accidents, breast cancer, AIDS or homicides. Well, it's no big secret. That other television station's story is all about >> Continue reading: Hospital-acquired infection rates.
It involves parking a car out in the middle of a frozen lake and taking bets on when the car will fall through. Leave it to a televison news crew to take this game to a whole new level. Seriously, though..... It's been a long couple of weeks for those of us in the N4I unit. Photographer Steve Harris and I abandoned producer Steve Perron while we jetted from coast to coast. Some people in the newsroom think travel is one of the fun parts of the job... and it can be. But spending four of the last seven days on the road does not qualify as fun by any stretch of the imagination. Because we had so much work to do while travelling...

Still, I scribbled on my notepad. "Ben found alive with Hornbeck" I hung up the phone and started walking downstairs to t... If this catches on, maybe Los Angeles will challenge St. Louis for a higher spot in the list of America's fattest cities. From the Los Angeles Times: The Dodgers are converting the right-field pavilio... Here is a reminder why those of us who work in television should never take ourselves too seriously. And it's the funniest thing I've seen on local television in a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0j0AJDpMD0 Props to our friends at CW11. ...Most of the perps appearing in St. Louis' division 25 courtroom were lucky if one person showed up to watch them make the walk from the holding area to the defense table. The walk lasts all of three seconds -- but when it's the only chance to breathe the same air as your gangbanging boyfriend, you make the most of what you can get. The accused would quickly scan the rows of benches and make contact with a friendly face. Mouthin... This kind of slipped through the cracks, what with it coming out on Friday afternoon before a three-day weekend and all... but here's some follow-up action for you. Last month, we told you about the Farmington, Mo. generator dealer under investigation for taking advantage of people in the days after the big ice storm. ...
