Area roundup: Somonauk girls win
Somonauk 32, Earlville-Leland 23 -- The Bobcats (12-15) got balanced scoring from Lauren Brummel (seven points, six rebounds, four steals), Karrah KuyKendall (seven points, eight rebounds), Jordan Smith (seven points, eight rebounds) and Audrey Weismiller (six points) in their victory at the Serena Regional.
Promise to mom can wait
Where in the world is Matt Miller? Good question. For the time being, he's back home in Aurora, doing work as an athletic trainer and organizing a summer basketball camp at the Fox Valley Park District's Eola Center. Usually, though, it's wise to have an atlas and a globe handy to find him. In the nine years since he earned Beacon-News All-Area Basketball honors as a senior point guard for coach David Saurbaugh at Waubonsie Valley High School, Miller has been here, there and, well, darn near everywhere. England, Spain, Germany, Bosnia, Romania, Ethiopia and Rwanda are just some of the stamps on the well-worn passports of this professional player.

Jackson's doctor pleads not guilty to manslaughter
Michael Jackson’s doctor has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of the pop star. Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died June 25, entered his plea Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court just hours after he was charged. He could face up to four years in prison if convicted. Murray was charged early Monday, capping an exhaustive investigation into the pop star's stunning death last summer.
