Two ex-Sox snap Lilly's streak
Some White Sox fans have been clamoring all year for the South Siders to bring center fielder Aaron Rowand back. Cubs fans probably share a similar view after Monday night, likely wishing Rowand were back in a Sox uniform and out of their hair right now. .
H.C. Miller: New hair makes New Man
After graduating from Chandlers High School in 1951, H.C. Miller left Logan County on a train without a job or a career. He returned as one of the leading experts in a concept of hair replacement known as New Man Hair. Now he's continuing to transform Logan County men (and women) who are follically challenged into having a full head of hair. A barber since 1958, Miller realized he needed something to fall back on during the late 60s and early 70s when hippies, beatniks and lots of everyday guys started letting their hair grow long, significantly impacting the revenue of barbers. So he began designing hairpieces, using the Minneapolis-based New Man system. It involves using a mold of the client's head, matching and blending the color to match the customer's own, and then having the hairpiece made in Manilla.
Grand jury adds harsher charges for girl’s death
Two foster parents face additional charges of manslaughter in a murder-by-abuse case involving a 2-year-old girl. A Multnomah County grand jury has re-indicted Dunia Soledad Moreno, 30, and her husband, Armando Moreno-Garcia, 39, swapping charges of first-degree criminal mistreatment for manslaughter charges, said Prosecutor Jeff Howes, a Multnomah County deputy district attorney. Gresham police arrested Soledad Moreno on Sept. 9, 2006, five days after she and her husband brought their 2-year-old foster daughter, Keyana Bravo-Hamilton, to Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center. The toddler, who was cold to the touch, died of battered child syndrome, or more specifically blunt force trauma to the abdomen resulting in sepsis, according to the state medical examiner. Her bowel had been ruptured in four places, causing gas and the contents of the bowel to leak into her abdomen, resulting in swelling.
Custom Knees Are a New Lease on Life
Charlesetta Stalling likes to call herself "62 years young." Vigorous and healthy, hers is a life packed with plans, trips and stories still to be spun. Unfortunately, Stalling's 62-year-old knees have told a different tale. Plagued with degenerative arthritis, also called osteoarthritis, Stalling has been sidelined on and off with pain and, even worse, difficulty doing the gardening, cha-cha dancing and traveling she yearns to do. A total knee replacement surgery in 2004 got her back on track, but the education consultant and popular storyteller knew it was only a matter of time before her other knee would meet the same fate. That happened in June, when Sacramento orthopedic surgeon Stephen Howell replaced Stalling's other knee in an operation at Methodist Hospital in Sacramento, Calif.

A year ago, Ryder Marshalls summer days started early in the morning when he got up to care for his 4-H steer. He fed it and washed it. And between chores he spent his days outside, playing baseball and lazing with friends.
That was before.
Before an April night brought an unusual itching in the 11-year-olds feet. A tingle so irritating, Ryders socks tore from the frantic rubbing on the floor in attempts to alleviate it. His feet were hot and nothing helped.
A doctor detected swelling in Ryders neck. A lump was found. And the word that changes everything was spoken: cancer.
Ryder has Hodgkins lymphoma, a type of cancer that attacks the lymph system, which protects the body from disease.
Ryder was dazed when he heard.
