The Associated Press DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera put on a show, hitting three homers in a game for the first time. It wasn’t enough. Ben Sheets worked seven innings in his longest start of the season, Landon Powell homered and hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth for the winning run and the Oakland Athletics [...]
Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — A clearer, more meaningful standard for sunscreen labels is coming soon to a lotion near you, but not in time for the summer beach season that kicks off this Memorial Day weekend.

Admittedly, this perception is based on the Internet and anecdotal evidence, but it seems that Memorial Day is regaining some of its significance as something other than the three-day getaway weekend that marks the informal start of summer.

Back in the late 1960s, it seemed like every few weeks another rock star would drop dead. The big three — Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison of the Doors — all died in their 20s from alcohol- and drug-related causes.

Cheers to the 1,499 Solano Community College students who waltzed through graduation ceremonies Wednesday evening to kick off the Class of 2010 festivities that will dominate during the next couple of weeks.
