Fans have the opportunity this week to vote two more players into the 2008 All-Star Game. Major League Baseball annually names five players from each league who just missed becoming an All-Star. This year’s “The Final Vote” may be...

At 9 a.m. Friday, Truman Reservoir stood at 726.5 feet above mean sea level (msl) and the total discharge through the dam’s turbines and spillway gates was 6,500 cubic feet per second (cfs.) Those figures represent a slight increase in the water...
