Arrestee doubles his troubles
Should you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of occupying a police holding cell, chances are you'll want to be on your best behavior, at least until you're released. Unless, of course, you'd rather double your trouble by vandalizing the place. Naperville police say Jeffrey R. Dillavou chose the latter course of action and now faces trial on charges of residential burglary and criminal damage to property.

Anger brews at Tea Party
A lot of villains surfaced here Saturday at a protest held by We The People For Freedom on the steps of City Hall. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, high taxes, nationalized medicine, bailout packages, abortion, unions, politicians and even going green took their lumps by a variety of speakers for more than an hour.

Sox finally whack Zack
After Greinke dominated the Sox in his first two outings against them this season, a no-decision last month at least showed the Sox they could make the Cy Young candidate bleed. In their fourth crack at the right-hander, they showed they could beat him. In handing Greinke only his fourth loss of the year in the 5-0 blanking at Kauffman Stadium, the Sox also remained the hottest team in the American League, winning their seventh in a row to stay in second place in the Central Division.

Cubs walk past Brewers 2-1 in 10 innings
Pitching and defense win games, as the Cubs proved Friday in a 2-1 walk-off victory in 10 innings, their second straight win to open a crucial series against the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field. But manager Lou Piniella is tired of missing the hitting. Soriano likely won't lead off

Ceiling fans good idea all year
Gas and energy prices are rising again, and that means Americans must tighten their belts even further. You don't need to dread hot summer temps and high air conditioning bills when you have ceiling fans in your home. And ceiling fan-and-light combinations that have earned Energy Star accreditation are about 50 percent more efficient than non-conforming units.
