I believe Fox does this. Seems like my 17y/o brought home a 'career guide' thing from them a few weeks back. From the site SocialStalking.com: Recently, many school districts in many states have reached agreements with a company to assist kids, and in some states adults, in taking online assessments to tell them what types of jobs they should have. All have different names but perform the same function. It is geared to help adults and students understand their interests in future workforces. Missouri chose to build a site around this called MissouriConnections (a .org site) Read the rest at http://bit.ly/3nZ7JF

DISPATCH 10/26/2009 State Rep. Tim Meadows, D-Imperial, issued a public apology Sunday after being arrested Saturday on suspicion of DWI in Jefferson County.

The Leader Newspaper contained an article this week about the Arnold City Council filling the Ward 4 council seat left vacant after the passing for former Mayor and council person Al Ems.

Ward 4 resident Karl J. Schoenbeck was voted into office on October 15, but not without some debate. The issues did not seem to stem from any particular problems any council people had with Mr. Schoenbeck, who is a gun dealer in the St. Louis area. Instead, the issue was related to the amount of notice given members of council about the replacement candidate. Council people Randy Cristler and Joyce Deckman seemed to be concerned they had not been given enough time to meet the candidate.

Regardless of the concerns, Mr. Schoenback was appointed to the Arnold City Council to serve out the remainder of Mr. Ems Term.
