Callison: Book fills gap for cancer patients
Louis Whitehead's goal for 2008 is to have no goal.
OK, that's not totally accurate.
Whitehead has many goals in his life. Primary among them is finding fulfillment in whatever he does. But in a life that was rocked by change in its third decade, Whitehead knows he won't find purpose in life by remaining static and letting it come to him.
Instead, he seeks it out by frequent travel. "At this point, I don't know if there is an end in sight," Whitehead says of his personal journey of discovery.
A freelance writer, photographer and Web designer who also works part time at South Dakota State University, Whitehead has recorded one life-altering event in a book, "Living Through Leukemia: A Journey to Health."
That journey led him to several rounds of chemotherapy and a bone-marrow transplant that has changed his blood type and renewed his life.
NY Giants win Super Bowl
Gambling that he couldn't escape the pocket, the Giants came after him from the start. After spotting the Giants an early 3-0 lead, the Patriots responded with a 12-play, 56-yard march that put them on the Giants 1-yard line when the first quarter ended. The key play came when New York linebacker Antonio Pierce was flagged for pass interference on Benjamin Watson in the end zone. It took Maroney two carries to give the Patriots the lead, scoring over right guard three seconds into the second quarter. New York answered with a 46-yard drive to New England's 14. On third-and-5, Manning hit Steve Smith with a low throw. Smith bobbled the ball, and cornerback Ellis Hobbs picked off the deflection and returned it 23 yards to the Patriots 33.
6 things your dermatologist never told you
Think chocolate is causing your acne? Do you let a cut “dry out" so it will heal faster? Be prepared to be surprised as Dr. Debra Wattenberg reveals six things your dermatologist may not have told you ... but should have. Chocolate doesn't cause acne, but milk might
There are very few studies showing the association between food and acne. People think that the greasy foods — like chocolate, pizza and fried foods — somehow clog their pores and the oils get secreted onto their skin. In fact, acne is caused by the gland getting clogged by skin cells and bacteria. Recent studies have shown the possible link between milk and other dairy products with the development of acne. It is thought that hormones and other bioactive molecules may stimulate the glands causing acne. I usually recommend limiting but not eliminating dairy.
Brian Roberts could put Cubs over the top
One of them is one of the all-time great liars. Baseball spring training camps open this month and some big-name free agents are jobless and might have to swallow some pride to prolong their careers and sign for much less than they're accustomed to. They include Barry Bonds, Armando Benitez, Mike Piazza, Kenny Lofton, Shannon Stewart, Livan Hernandez, Sammy Sosa, Bartolo Colon, Shawn Green, Corey Patterson and Tony Clark. If they can't find jobs, Bonds, Sosa, perhaps Clemens and Piazza all would be on the 2013 Hall of Fame ballot. It would be a very impressive group if they all were "clean." But Piazza is the only one who hasn't been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Billionaire Rochester sportsman Tom Golisano over the weekend reiterated that he's prepared to do what he can to keep the Buffalo Bills in western New York.
