Apr-23-09 Belle, WV Two days before Earth Day this year, two giant corporations agreed to pay a combined $2 million in fines for polluting the air.

Her name is Teresa Cooper. She wa... - Forensics Expert Discusses Chinese Drywall
Apr-16-09 Lake Forest, CA "Regardless of what people say about US building developers and contractors, for the most part they didn't buy Chinese drywall to save money but ordered it simply for supply and demand," says Doug Derry, field services manager, CBI Forensics.

Aug-13-06 Although the $2 million fine levied against Kaiser Permanente was the largest ever imposed by the California Department of Managed Health Care, it seems like small potatoes considering the damage caused by the HMO's failed kidney transplant program.

Jul-13-06 "We negotiated a settlement for my unpaid overtime but I turned down their final offer - the college wanted me to resign. It's not my fault that I was misclassified as exempt.

Mar-2-09 Washington, DC The words of a valued, experienced pilot are one thing. But the words of a hero are quite another. And when Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III speaks now, everyone listens.

And even though private pilot license age can be as young as 17,... - Psychiatric Drugging of Children Intolerable--Part 2
