May 2008 ArchivesTulsa Police Capt. Travis Yates calls it "the dirtiest little secret in law enforcement today." Yates, who runs the Precision Driving Unit for his department, is talking about the lack of behind the wheel driver training for police officers. Many police departments, including some of the largest in our area, do not require officers to get ongoing training in a vehicle after they graduate from the police academy. "I routinely ta... Our story about Missouri's strange marriage law started with a phone call from journalists working at KTVK-TV in Phoenix, a station owned by Belo, the company that also owns KMOV.
The Shawn Hornbeck Foundation was dissolved by the State of Missouri last December because required paperwork was not filed with the state. State law requires foundations to file ...
The Farmington attorney who has challenged tax laws in tiny communities across Missouri scored his first victory Friday. A Jefferson County judge ruled a sales tax approved by the mid-Missouri city of Iberia in 2001 was invalid and unenforcable.
We've received an overwhelming response to our Sylvia Browne story. I've posted several dozen comments on our blog. Many support Ms. Browne, many others dencounce her. I tried to be fair and publish as many as possible representing the views of Ms. Browne's critics and fans. During my previous story, I reported that Craig Akers, Shawn Hornbeck's step-father, politely declined to be interviewed about Ms. Browne or her claims abo... Our report on Carfax focused on the reliability of the well known vehicle history service. But there's another related issue that's very important for buyers and sellers of used cars -- who is responsible for disclosing damages in a car that's up for sale? Our story featured the case of Stephanie and Matthew Gehrs of Festus. Last December, they purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty with 18,000 miles on the odometer. They bough...
What's in the ice that you put in your cup of soda? Sometimes bacteria and sometimes mold. That's not a pleasant thought, but our tests found bacteria in several cups of ice from fast food restaurants and convenience stores in the St. Louis area and a level of bacteria well over the health department's acceptable level for one. Sylvia Browne claims to talk with dead people. And, according to the self-proclamed psychic, they talk to her too. Five years ago, Craig and Pam Akers, the parents of Shawn Hornbeck, went on the Montel Williams show to see if Browne could give them fresh clues about wh... The price of a gallon of gas in St. Louis has more than doubled in the last year. I got that information from a popular website called gasbuddy.com. The people at gasbuddy.com have been tracking the price of gas at stations around the country since 2001. Their website is chock full of charts and graphs that spell out how the price of gas got within striking distance of $4 a gallon.
Is anyone looking over you shoulder while you read this? No? Are you sure? A number of former AT&T employees who have come forward as whistleblowers say the government is spying on your internet use... right now. Some of them have spoken up as un-named sources in various media outlets. Some have spoken to me on an off-the-record basis. And some have laid it all on the line to tell their story to the world. ...Warning: This letter of denial from your insurance company may cause anger, frustration and stress and could be harmful to your health. Maybe there should be a warning like this on letters from insurance companies when they deny claims. At some point most of us will get a letter like that. Knowing how to respond at that point can save you a lot of grief and help resolve the dispute with your insurance company, in you... First there were recalls of toys with lead paint, then recalls of contaminated pet food and then the blood thinner, Heparin was recalled after it was linked to allergic reactions and deaths. The FDA now says contaminated Heparin is blamed for 81 deaths and almost 800 allergic reactions. After all these recalls, the "Made in China" label is making people wary. A significant amount of the active ingredients for medicines that are sold in the U.S... |
