Sharp rock points under the surface of the Mississippi River near Thebes, Ill., will be blasted to deepen the navigation channel, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Wednesday.

Bayer CropScience says rice farmers and an "act of God" are to blame for the contamination of local rice crops with an unapproved genetically modified strain -- contamination that led to class action lawsuits filed in federal court in Missouri.

Nov. 23, 2006 Dear Adams family, Here's hoping everyone made it home for Thanksgiving. Looking around your Thanksgiving table nearly 20 years ago, I'd never seen such a big family, no doubt quadrupled by now. My own family will converge on Cape Girardeau from Ohio and Mississippi today, the first time in a long while we're in one place at the same time. Usually the nephew or one of the nieces is off on an adventure during breaks, or my brother's playing music somewhere...

As we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families, most of us will probably stuff ourselves full of turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. After dinner, instead of sitting on the couch watching football or napping off the tryptophan in the turkey, why not try to burn off a few of those calories?...

Sophomore setter Codie Lancaster made Bell City's offense click as the floor leader. Junior hitter Rachel Spears gave the Cubs a powerful hitting option, a blocking presence at the net and was the emotional sparkplug on the court. Together, the pair led Bell City to its second straight final four appearance, and they share this year's Southeast Missourian player of the year honor...

Even without a sense of urgency, the 2006 season was one of resurgence. Following a 2005 season when the six local football programs were a combined 20-40 with no appearances in the state playoffs, expectations for 2006 weren't much. The losing and the absence from the playoffs was a good bet to continue...

WASHINGTON -- Soon to be in charge of Congress, Democrats are looking to chip away at billions of dollars in payments to the health insurance companies that run Medicare's managed care programs. The cuts could range up to about $27.6 billion over five years, an amount the industry says would reduce the number of managed care plans serving seniors and the disabled...

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria -- One of seven foreign oil workers taken hostage Wednesday was killed and another was wounded during a rescue attempt that also left two kidnappers and a soldier dead, officials said. Gunmen had seized the seven hostages from a supply vessel belonging to a subsidiary of Italian oil giant Eni SpA about 30 miles off the coast of southern Nigeria in the latest attack by militants on facilities in the volatile Niger Delta, where most of the country's oil is produced...

Four young men from the same Missouri Bootheel county have committed suicide by hanging themselves in similar fashion in the past five months, baffling authorities and leaving many in the rural area groping for answers.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The United Nations said Wednesday that 3,709 Iraqi civilians were killed in October, the highest monthly toll since the March 2003 U.S. invasion and another sign of the severity of Iraq's sectarian bloodbath.

To the editor: 1991 was the first of 13 Christmas seasons I spent as a single parent of two girls. At my Community Counseling Center session I was paired up with a young girl who had just lost her job, was losing her home and had three young children and no family to help her. I had been feeling sorry for myself until she made me realize I was blessed with a decent job, a home and the support of a loving family. I never forgot her...

To the editor: The paper brought the disturbing news on Nov. 21 that Washington University has received a grant of $156 million to continue work on the sequencing of the human genome. Obviously, this work has a far greater potential to lead to human cloning than stem-cell research has. This is a very slippery slope...

The woman, Kathryn Johnston, was the only resident in the house at the time and had lived there about 17 years, assistant chief Alan Dreher said.

NEW YORK -- John Riggins was the type of player kids loved emulating. He was a bruising runner with a mean streak and big shoulder pads who plowed through defenders and dragged them along for the ride -- all the way to the Hall of Fame. But that was back in a long-lost era when fullbacks were ball-carrying bulls and an integral part of a team's game plan. Today, being a fullback just doesn't have that attractiveness...
