When 2-year-old Owen Stark arrived at St. Louis Children's Hospital, he wasn't given much chance for survival. The little boy had collapsed at a store and his heart and lungs were shutting down.
But doctors used a German-built artificial lung that stabilized him so well that, at least for now, he no longer needs a lung transplant. The hospital said Owen is believed to be the youngest person to receive an artificial lung.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced that high school technology and engineering teacher Tim Schnoeker has been named the Peabody/Logos Leaders in Education "Educator of the Year." Mr. Schnoeker was recognized Tuesday night at a celebration that included the governor and 200-plus attendees.
Mr. Schnoeker was selected from 21 outstanding honorees from the first year of the Leaders in Education program, a first-of-a-kind partnership created by Peabody Energy and Logos School to honor excellent educators and mentors across the greater St. Louis area. Peabody has pledged $450,000 over three years to support the program and benefit the mission of Logos School.
"Mr. Schnoeker instills in his students the importance of giving back. He goes beyond teaching skilled trades; he inspires responsible citizens who give to support their communities," said Gregory H. Boyce, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Peabody Energy. "Peabody and Logos School created the Leaders in Education program to give outstanding teachers like Tim Schnoeker the recognition they deserve."
Under Mr. Schnoeker's direction, Coulterville, Ill., students have rebuilt housing in hurricane-ravaged Mississippi. They have constructed and donated a playhouse to the Court Appointed Special Advocates, an organization that protects the rights of children in foster care; and they have designed and built a handicap-accessible driveway and ramp at a Highland, Ill., group home for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Easy Living, with paddlers West Hansen, of Austin, Texas, and David Kelly, of San Rafael, Calif., led the race by 18 to 20 minutes most of the day Tuesday. But the chasing tandem in Los Humangos Paddleos closed the gap Wednesday morning, coming within a minute of the leaders after Easy Living took a 20-minute nap in Jefferson City.
Easy Living got back on the river at 8:15 a.m., and Los Humangos Paddleos arrived in Jefferson City a minute later. Easy Living was able to regain its lead, and it eventually became the first boat to cross the finish line Wednesday. Easy Living finished at 8:48 p.m. and won the men’s tandem division of the race and the first-place award of $600. The team set the race record for the men's tandem division in 36 hours and 48 minutes.
