Councilman MikeK Recalls Knievel Action Figure

I have been a customer for over 25 years and am a bit upset that we are not receiving official records for Kootenai County anymore, but instead for Spokane County. My interest is in Kootenai County and what is happening in our neighborhoods and at our courts. It seems that there is very little coverage of our area by your paper anymore, not what I am wanting to purchase daily. I have conferred with others and they are upset also.

The Real Rip-Off Report (87)

He's exactly what you'd expect of a self-titled consumer advocate, with one key difference.

Thanks to the Internet, people actually have to pay attention to him.

Before the rise of the Web, the powerful could write off gadflies such as Ed Magedson. But the Internet provides a bully pulpit that Magedson has harnessed with startling success — and woe to the business owner who tries to ignore him.

The Rip-Off Report has become a boon to the disgruntled, who've posted complaints taking on everything from poor business practices to deadbeat dads, ofen without a shred of proof. For Ed Magedson, it's been an even bigger gift. It's made him powerful, and it's made him money — although certainly not a dot-com millionaire.

Magedson won't remove posts. He's not interested in evidence that would offer vindication.

Inside the unit where babies cling on to life

Last month The Observer gained unprecedented access to one of the most influential and pioneering neonatal intensive care wards in Britain. Our investigation coincides with the first parliamentary battle over abortion laws for almost 20 years and the first nationwide survey of maternity services by the government's own health standards watchdog, in which mothers and babies were found to be treated poorly in overstretched NHS maternity wards. It is an issue this newspaper was among the first to bring to public attention almost three years ago through our Better Birth Campaign.

Sited in the middle of Hackney in east London, one of the most deprived and multicultural areas in the country, and a referral centre for neighbouring hospitals, the neonatal unit at Homerton University Hospital is one of the busiest and most highly regarded in Britain.
