| Cubs' DeRosa to Have Heart Procedure
MESA, Ariz. - Cubs second baseman Mark DeRosa will undergo a heart procedure in Chicago on Thursday to correct an irregular heartbeat.
Team doctor Stephen Adams said DeRosa is expected to return to Arizona on Sunday, be back on the field as early as Monday and ready to play in spring training games by March 8.
"Theoretically, this should take care of the problem," Adams said Wednesday.

Ex-Circulair owner James Larkin vanishes after flight to Hong Kong
A Chicago fan manufacturer wants to pay its former owner more than $3 million, but there's a hitch: He has vanished.
Relatives of James Larkin say he was last seen boarding a flight to Hong Kong with his second wife last fall just a few months after he suffered a debilitating stroke. Neither checked bags for the trip, the family later learned.
On Wednesday, a Cook County probate judge, agreeing the case constituted an emergency, appointed Larkin's brother, Jerome, a prominent Chicago attorney, as his temporary guardian.

Developer says 80-acre parcel at I-10 and Texas 6 could also include a ...
Commercial developer Opus West Corp. is looking to expand its holdings in the Energy Corridor. The company is under contract to buy an 80-acre parcel north of Interstate 10 and east of Texas 6. Robert Wheless, director of real estate development for Opus West, said he's considering a mix of uses for the site, which could include hotel, retail, office and apartments. The land is across I-10 from Westlake, where Hines has developed office towers. Wheless said Opus West is scouring the market for a tenant that could use the site for a corporate campus. "It would lend itself beautifully to that," he said. "The reservoir's to the north, so it has protected views." The company hopes to close on the property by the start of summer.
Body Found in Ga. in 1953 Exhumed
The exhumation started Friday morning and authorities from both Georgia and Ohio were in attendance, as well as Georgia's chief medical examiner, Dr. Kris Sperry, and Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensics anthropologist Dr. Frederick Snow. They hope to get enough DNA from the remains to compare to Tammen's sister for a positive identification.
By mid-day Friday, investigators had reached what remained of the grave. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said the bag was completely visible, but not in tact. Investigators unzipped the bag and removed what remains were left by hand. "We found what appears to be parts of two femur bones and maybe an upper bone and there were teeth," Sheriff Wilson said.
Dr. Snow and Dr. Sperry were cautiously optimistic that a DNA sample could be obtained.
