They were state inmates working as part of a clean-up crew in Augusta, and what they found could have been dangerous. Those state prisoners were cleaning up an overgrown lot Wednesday morning off of Martin Luther King Blvd. But that work came to an abrupt end when they found some weapons. News 12 is on your side to show you what they found and what officers are saying about how the guns got there.
The inmates were on a routine job clearing out debris at the 1200 block off Kent Street when an officer found something unusual.
"Found two weapons, one 12-guage shotgun with the stock broken and a .22 Marlo rifle," said Lt. Raymond Freeman.
Officials think tractors out here clearing debris earlier in the week accidentally tore open this trash bag exposing the gun inside. And it's not the first time this has happened.
"They were over there cleaning and this is probably the second time they've found things in that area in a similar fashion," said Lt. Tony Walden.
Lieutenant Freeman says it's really not that uncommon.
"It happens occasionally when detail's working on roads they find knives, weapons, stuff like that maybe someone's alluding police and they throw a weapon out of the car," Freeman said.
In this case, the guns are in such bad condition that they were not a threat to the officers on duty.
"This is the 12-guage shotgun that was found and as you can see it's in pretty bad shape, it's obviously been out there for years for the wood to be rotted like that," Walden said.
Rotted and so rusted that they don't even know if the guns were loaded.
"We can't even open it to see if there's a round in there," Walden said.
"That's why it's essential the officers are always on alert when working with inmates," Freeman said.
Inmates and officers who are cleaning up Augusta in some surprising ways.
Back in June, another inmate work crew found seven fire arms, some of them loaded, on the same property. As soon as the weapons were found Wednesday morning, the detail crew was immediately pulled of the job so officers could determine what they'd found.

The water's of the Gulf of Mexico look more like what we're used to.
"To see it yesterday with the waves," says Charlie Pfizenmayer visiting from Ohio, "it looked like the Jersey shore where I grew up."
"I thought it was cool," adds Linda Uldrich from near Nashville. "It felt like you were on the pacific instead of the gulf."
A north wind helped lay down the waves that had caused so much trouble for lifeguards like Scott Smothers. "We did have some issues with people wanting to enter the water. We did have to write some citations because they would not heed our warnings."
Even the seabirds seemed to be celebrating better weather but all the action is not right here along the waters edge. A lot of activity is going on at Gulf Place. The shrimp festival is coming this week and they're getting ready for it now.
"We are very excited about this year," says this years chairman Matt Mogan. "The weather is perfect, we couldn't ask for anything more."
Work on this year's festival will continue for the next three days leading up to the start of the festival on Thursday.
"We start setting up our vendor tents, our retail tents, concession tents. It takes us three or four days of design and construction to be ready to start accepting the vendors and then the visitors behind that," says Mogan.
The beaches and the gulf are filling up again with folks more interested in feeding the birds and soaking up the sun rather than admiring the size of the waves and running from the rain.
Red flag conditions are expected to fully subside by Tuesday morning when yellow flags will once again fly along all Baldwin county beaches.

Seafood advocate hospitalized
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 8:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 8:32 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — Mike Voisin of Houma, one of the better-known policy advocates for Louisiana seafood, suffered a "massive heart condition" last Friday and remains hospitalized in "guarded condition."
According to information released by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, his family reported Voisin "started to respond with small movements" earlier this week.
Managers of Motivatit Seafood, which Voisin owns, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Typically this time of year would find Voisin in Washington, D.C., for the Mystick Krewe of Louisianians' annual Mardi Gras event.
He is key in hosting the "Let the World be Your Oyster" event every year, which introduces Washington's power brokers to fresh Louisiana seafood and critical policy issues from back home.
"He's definitely going to be missed this year," said Tyron Picard of the Lafayette-based Picard Group and a junior lieutenant in the Mystick Krewe. "He's such a great ambassador for our state."
The last few months have seen Voisin elected as vice chairman of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and awarded an honorary doctor of commerce degree from Nicholls State University.
He is the former chairman of the National Fisheries Institute and the Louisiana Oyster Task force.
Voisin is also the founder of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, whose officers issued a statement saying he had been admitted to intensive care at Terrebonne General Hospital.
"This is a terrible tragedy on so many levels," said Ewell Smith, the board's executive director. "Our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery go out to Mike and his family."
On Capitol Hill, the Louisiana congressional delegation has shown support for Voisin by attaching a yellow ribbon representing his Gold Band Oysters to the Louisiana Seafood tins displayed in their offices.

A good place to stay. Everything worked out very well. We are satisfied.
Eine gute Unterkunft. Es hat alles sehr gut geklappt. Wir sind zufrieden.
Perfect! Apartment is in great shape, there is nothing to complain about. The location is great, whether you. The city on foot, by metro bus, hop on hop off or rather want to enjoy the beach The central location one just has a main thoroughfare in front of the door, we did not do in the least disturbed.
The organization was great and the underground parking was really worth the money.
Perfekt! Apartment ist in einem super Zustand, es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. Die Lage ist top, egal ob man die Stadt zu Fuß, per Metro, Hop on Hop off Bus erkunden oder doch lieber den Strand genießen will. Durch die zentrale Lage hat man halt auch eine Hauptverkehrsstraße vor der Tür, uns hat's nicht im geringsten gestört.
Auch die Organisation war top und der Tiefgaragenstellplatz war sein Geld echt wert.
The apartment on the Carree Moscou is perfect for a stay in Barcelona with a real top location! The apartment offers everything that is needed, glorious natural light with a fantastic view of the city and above all very clean! Thank you for the fantastic days and will always recommend especially the landlady!
Die Wohnung im Carree Moscou ist perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Barcelona mit einer wirklichen Top Lage! Das Apartment bietet alles, was nötig ist, herrlich licht durchflutet mit einem fantastischen Blick auf die Stadt und vor allem sehr sauber! Wir bedanken uns für die fantastischen Tage und werden vor allem die Vermieterin stets weiter empfehlen!
Beautiful, comfortable flat with a magnificent view over plage du sillon
Excellent! Thank you again Wimdu.
Our host Trusted Partner, Interhome, were kind and very, very efficient, working from their local office nearby in Deauville. We felt comfortable before we even arrived in France. Wimdu as usual and our host each confirmed everything by email before we even set off; so put our minds at rest during those last crazy days of packing before our holiday.
And such a wonderful stylish apartment Couturier! So much beautiful character in the middle of Trouville sur Mer. It was wonderful to be staying in one of those gorgeous old Norman town houses rather than just seeing them from the outside. We really got the feel of the town and all its history just by looking out of our shuttered windows at the roof tops. And lots of space for us as a family.
Thank you Wimdu, Trusted Partner Interhome and of course the apartment Couturier. We'll definitely be back.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.
Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.

Hey everyone, Trish and Toby here. Were firm believers that the active lifestyle involves more than just being physically active--its about being intellectually and socially active too. We compiled a list of 10 tips for being active in all areas of life. Because no matter what stage of life you are in, you should always strive to be the best version of yourself.
1. Maintain a positive mental outlook. There's a clear connection between living well and having a cheerful outlook on life. Research has found that people who think positively about life live an average of seven and a half years longer than negative thinkers.
2. Avoid processed food. Eating processed, boxed, canned and frozen meals guarantee that you are eating unnecessary chemicals, sodium, sugar and fat. Eat fresh, natural food and eliminate trans fat from your diet.
3. Reduce stress. We're so focused on being go-getters that we often forget to de-stress. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like--walk on the beach or in a park, read a book, visit a friend, play with your dog, listen to soothing music or watch a funny movie. Don't forget to take some time to focus on clearing your thoughts and giving your mind, body and spirit a chance to rejuvenate.
4. Invest in a quality pair of shoes and socks. Visit a specialty store that understands that every foot and foot strike is unique. When your feet are happy, so are you. Comfortable, supportive and well-fitting shoes and synthetic socks are worth the investment of time and money.
5. Socialize. Having a social network is important to the body, mind and spirit. People who are socially active tend to be healthier, happier and less likely to become depressed. To stay socially active, make a point of getting out of the house. Make plans with your friends to go out to lunch or better yet, make plans to exercise regularly with a friend or group of friends. Exercising with others is usually more fun than exercising on your own--and it can help you stick with your exercise program. Try joining our online community today!
6. Exercise your brain. The key to keeping your memory sharp is continuing to challenge it. Having a book on hand and discussing what youve read with friends or a book club is one way to keep your brain in good shape. Crosswords, Sudoku and puzzles are also excellent ways to keep your brain agile. There is always more learning to do. Find out what works for you.
7. Volunteer. Donating your time at an aid station during a race or soup kitchen over the holidays, puts life into perspective. Be thankful for all you have and give to others who are less fortunate.
8. Omit high fructose corn syrup from your diet. Widespread use of this highly modified sweetener is making us and our children unhealthy. High fructose corn syrup bypasses the digestive process and goes straight to the liver, where it gets turned into fat. Combined with the typical American high-fat diet, the result is increased danger of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Try using honey as sweetener instead. As an added bonus, ingesting locally grown honey before allergy season helps your body acclimate to some pollen levels in advance.
9. Maintain close relationships. Make a point to strengthen ties with your family, friends and loved ones. Volunteer work, religious ties, even pets
anything that keeps you involved with othersreduces stress and enhances health. Having a strong network of family and friends and a broad range of activities will support your health.
10. Give yoga a try. Youll be amazed at the difference it makes when your body is limber and flexible. Plus, yoga reduces the chances of injury. Try a beginning yoga class to enjoy the wide range of benefits--your mind and body will both thank you.
Comments are encouraged--please share your tips for staying healthy and active with the rest of us.

Definición de calyx en inglés:
(also calix)
sustantivo (plural calyces /ˈkalɪsiːz/ /ˈkeɪlɪsiːz/ or calyxes)
1 Botany The sepals of a flower, typically forming a whorl that encloses the petals and forms a protective layer around a flower in bud. Compare with corolla.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Similar to the color traits, plant prickles were also evaluated for individual organs including stem, leaf, and flower and fruit calyxes.
- Unlike with other bulb flowers, the calyxes of amaryllises do not open quickly, so consider this when using them in flower arrangements for certain occasions.
- The flower has a tubular calyx with four ovate lobes and a corolla with four overlapping petals.
2.1A portion of the pelvis of a mammalian kidney.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The renal pelvis, calyces, and renal vein were grossly uninvolved.
- You seem to be having a stone in the lower calyx of the right kidney.
- In this case, the calyces are compressed by the markedly distended renal pelvis.
2.2The cavity in a calcareous coral skeleton that surrounds the polyp.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The polyp lived on top of a tabula in a depression in the top of the coral called the calyx.
2.3The plated body of a crinoid, excluding the stalk and arms.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The pattern of proximal axes being more aborally inclined than are distal axes is similar to that in C axes of crinoid calyx plates.
- Although very few crinoid calyxes were encountered in the samples, columnals were ubiquitous and provided the basis for identification of crinoid genera.
- The characters that make this species distinct from the members of the C. sampsoni clade are primarily the thin-plated calyx and basal plates, which are higher than wide.
Late 17th century: from Latin, from Greek kalux 'case of a bud, husk', related to kaluptein 'to hide'.

Game Change Engulfs Overseas Growth At DeNA
Never underestimate the speed of change in the mobile gaming business.
Just three months ago, social game site operator DeNA reported its overseas revenues had grown for the sixth straight quarter to an eightfold increase from a year earlier and that its overseas operations logged a profit in June. Accustomed to growth trajectories holding steady, the company said that its overseas operations would turn profitable in the July-September quarter. Instead, revenues fell, losses widened, and its president warned of widening losses this quarter. Mobage West would not turn profitable until the January-March or April-June quarter, he said.
The company blamed a shortage in new hits, and said it is now working to expand its offering of different types of games, instead of just its mainstay card battle games.
Coming on the heels of a scale-back of overseas operations at rival Gree , the tempered outlook abroad casts further doubt on DeNA's – and its business model's– unbridled growth.
In a further blow to morale, Clive Downie, who headed DeNA's U.S. and European division, became social game services provider Zynga's chief operating officer last week.
Until this past quarter, it looked like DeNA would prove naysayers wrong. Bolstered by hits like "Rage of Bahamut," "Marvel: War of Heroes," and "Blood Brothers," DeNA showed how savvy promotion, data analysis, and a pool of 30 million users could generate revenues. The company still ranked the world's No.6 publisher by monthly game revenue on Google Inc.'s mobile operating system in September, according to App Annie.
But the slowdown – both abroad and at home — comes at a bad time. Game developers are taking a hard look at the advantage of using DeNA's Mobage social games site, after hits such as GungHo Online Entertainment Inc.'s "Puzzle & Dragons" proved that even in Japan, you can do well without a network built by DeNA or Gree, said Serkan Toto, a Tokyo-based games industry consultant.
Indeed, in an age of mega-hits, a handful of decent games may no longer be enough.
"The strategy that if you churn out enough games, you will generate a hit is old school," SoftBank Chief Executive Masayoshi Son said at a news conference shortly after SoftBank announced its plan to purchase of a controlling 51% stake in Supercell, the developer of mobile device hits "Clash of Clans" and "Hay Day."
Games need to have the power to retain users for years, he said.
Founded in 1999 as an online e-commerce site, DeNA has come a long way since its founder Tomoko Namba had to convince worried mothers whose sons she had recruited that the business was legit. The company has also reinvented itself time and again, and even with the slowdown, logs double-digit profit margins. And DeNA has a habit of hunting new revenue streams for more pillars of growth, Ms. Namba said.
"Games will always be a large part of our business. But the company is and has always been looking at many ways to grow – there are so many possibilities," she said on the sidelines of a talk given at the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan.

The current board of Red, White, and Tahoe Blue, under the direction of Jim Smith, has taken an event with a good concept to a world class level. The number and quality of the events has escalated logarithmically. In addition to the Board of Directors of RWTB, we should not forget those in the trenches doing the grunt work.
For the event in which Karen and I were involved, kudos to the following: Corporate Visions: Whitney Fragoso, Jeannie Frantz, Erin Alpers, Dustin Ring and Nicci Hammerel. Chase International: Dan Schwartz, Kurt Carlstedt, Mike Young, Lys Truax, Megan Warren, Debbie Hansen, Kerry Donovan, Tracy Saunders, Edee Campbell and Jane Rubsamen. Incline Law Group: Willow Cornelius and Cassell von Baeyer.
To dear friends who have put my name on e-spam and will not accept my calls: Mike and Mimi Kennedy, Henry and Sandra Rushing, Roger Leddington and Tracy Chandler, Jan Agnew of Sugarpine Design, Chuck Cree and Judy and Bill Eccles.
Also crucial to the event were the purveyors: Incline Spirits, Will Brigham, for all of beverages. Village Meats, LLC, Eric Halstead, whose brats are second to none. Pilot Brand, Gary Saunders who supplied the incredible Kobe beef dogs. Dress the Part(y) who donated all of the decorations and eating utensils, Linda Offerdahl and Alyssa Aninos, who spent hours in planning and hours personally decorating. If you have needs in their fields, buy from them.
Adding life to the party was the incredible band, Jacked Up, with their lead dancer Gayle Krolich. It was great to hear music which I could understand and remember the words.
As is the motto of RWTB: It takes a community. We are blessed.
Tom Bruno
Incline Village

I wouldn't call it very costly - just pricey for an iTunes utility. Full agreement on value - this utility has done wonders for my iTunes Library!
Caveat - this is the first iTunes utility I've used, so I can't comment on relative worth/value vs other utilities out there. - L
Very costly, but worth it.

Friday's letters: School funding
Published: Friday, June 7, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 10, 2013 at 9:21 a.m.
To the editor: I am so upset about what is happening to North Carolinas education system how Gov. Pat McCrorys proposed $20.6 billion budget is ruining the chances for our children to get the education they deserve.
Forty-five hundred teacher assistant positions are being eliminated. Children will lose pre-K education. Rodney Ellis, president of the N.C. Association of Educators, said: Were going to eliminate one of the best resources available to us. Thats a major concern! Some will be sent to underfunded schools due to a voucher program, expanded charter schools and budget cuts.
And $135 million will be cut from the UNC system.
Besides being one of the nations most underfunded systems, North Carolinas school funding formula is one of the most complex and least effective at aiding needy students, says a study from the N.C. Justice Centers Education and Law Project.
Gov. McCrory, who has professed support for education, has offered a budget that would seriously defund and dismantle public education. Parents must contact their state representatives and voice their objections to these terrible planned cuts.

Too hot for pets
To the editor: Please, people, the hot days are here. Do not leave your children or helpless pets in locked cars while you shop in air-conditioned stores!
I just came home from a store in Etowah where a small dog was in a hot, locked car with closed windows barking and screaming.
I went in the store and found the women in time. The manager was of no help.
What if next time its a child?

Like a mushroom itself, a lot goes on beneath the surface of the Eagle Mushroom Festival to make it a growing success as it enters its fifth year this weekend.
"This has the best format in the state of all the mushroom festivals we do here," said Larry Evans, a world-renowned mycologist who has been part of all five Eagle Mushroom Fests. "The a-la-carte pricing makes this more accessible while other festivals are expensive and less educational."
By "we," Evans was referring to his equally renowned comrade, Daniel Winkler. Originally from Bavaria, Winkler is famous for his "Mushroaming Tibet" eco tours. He is also an expert on the medicinal properties of mushrooms and was recently quoted in National Geographic.
The two came to Eagle a few days early for the festival with the intent of finding fungal treasures of their own.
The Eagle Mushroom Festival is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Events begin 5:30 p.m. Friday with a presentations at Eagle Town Hall. Paradigms Restaurant and Luigi's Pasta House feature kick-off dinners at 7 p.m. The restaurant meals are not included in the price of the event and reservations are recommended.
On Saturday and Sunday, events start at 8:30 a.m. Offerings include classes, hunts and foodie stuff like cook-offs and cooking classes.
Admission to attend all events is $90, excluding the restaurant dinners. Tickets for only Saturday or Sunday are $50. Admission to individual events is also available on an a-la-carte basis for $30 or $35, depending on the event.
The mushroom hunts from 10:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday are free. Participants will meet at the Eagle County Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall and carpool to the foray venue.
For more information and a full listing of event activities, visit www.eagleoutside.com and click on the "events" tab.
To purchase tickets, contact organizer Tom Boni at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (970) 328-9619.
The first Eagle Mushroom Fest was more of an informal gathering. Eagle Town Planner Tom Boni had met Evans at a mushroom event a year earlier and enlisted him to start something in Eagle.
Only a handful of people participated that year and the next but it got the attention of the community.
"We're building an audience," Evans said. "The first event turned up a lot of people who were already into it. Chefs and restaurateurs came out of the woodwork. They helped make this successful and haven't asked for anything in return."
Boni added that the town of Eagle and other businesses have also chipped in support.
The biggest day last year saw about 40 participants. This year is shaping up to be even bigger.
"It grew from local, to regional and it's drawing people in from farther and farther out," Winkler said.
Mushroom hunting can be tough, as the best spots to find the fantastic fungus are usually off the beaten path. A person might have to bushwhack and climb over logs and mud. Once he or she finds the hidden delicacies, however, the pain is often forgotten and a mushroom hunter emerges from the woods.
"On our second year," Boni said, "there was a woman who was not dressed well for the hike and she had not done any strenuous hiking in a long time. The conditions that year were especially difficult. We went through lots of mud and the woman fell down repeatedly. I worried about her but at the end of the day she was smiling and talking about how great it was."
Winkler said it's the satisfaction of finding treasure that makes mushroom hunting such an addiction.
"I'm always looking, even in New York City," he said. "I took a vacation to Panama with my family and I about went crazy because there weren't any mushrooms there."
The climate of Eagle County doesn't exactly produce the best or most consistent mushrooms but it's definitely not a bad place for them, either.
"With all the different aspects, drainages and altitudes here, there are always mushrooms somewhere," Winkler said.
Evans agreed.
"That's the beauty of Colorado - there are different places to look at any time."
Winkler said it might be tough to find chanterelle mushrooms in these parts this year after the drought.
"Hawkwings are happening now, though," he said.
Winkler and Evans said the U.S. is far behind most of the world cultures when it comes to embracing the benefits of fungus.
"America has sort of a mycophobia that seems to stem from the English heritage," Winkler said. "In Europe, where I come from, everyone picks mushrooms - children, grandmothers. They view the majority of mushrooms as benign while the English and Americans see them as mostly dangerous."
Evans said there are many health benefits to be had by eating more fungus.
"All the vitamin B you've ever had came from a fungus," he said. "Many mushrooms help the body recognize itself, helping to prevent auto-immune disorders like multiple sclerosis where the body attacks itself."
Meanwhile, many of the foods Americans eat on a daily basis are not exactly nutritious, Winkler said.
Together, the two experts are hoping to open western eyes and pallets to the benefits of fungus consumption.
"The good thing about fewer people looking for mushrooms, though, is that it's easier to find good spots," Winkler said.
Fungus played an important role in shaping the natural world as we know it today, Evans said.
"Four hundred million years ago, fungus and plants were balanced," he said. "The fungus consumed everything the plants produced and provided nutrients to the plants. Then the plants evolved and produced a material - lignin - that the fungus couldn't break down. That material fossilized and became known as lignite - coal. Then the fungus evolved to consume the lignin and that was the end of the carboniferous period."
Fungus is still important for maintaining the balance of the natural world, Evans said.
"The mushroom is only the fruit of the fungus, a small part of it, maybe 15 percent at most in extreme cases," he said. "The rest is underground and having an understanding of what is happening there will help you find mushrooms."

STOCKTON – Three teenaged boys went into a restaurant in the 7900 block of North West Lane around 4:40 p.m. Sunday, ordered food, then snatched a gold chain from a 36-year-old woman employee and ran, according to police.
They took a gold chain with a small gold cross on it.
The first suspect is described as a black youth, 15 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, heavy set, wearing a white rag on his head and a blue shirt. The second suspect is described as a black youth, 15 years old, tall and thin, wearing a black jacket. The third suspect is described as a 15-year-old who is short and heavy, wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket.

All of those things are smart moves for the environment and they'll save you money in the long term, but what if you don't have the available cash? Can you still go green? Absolutely, and we've got some suggestions on how to do it without breaking the bank -- and in some cases, without spending any money at all. See full article.

- No denying 49ers-Seahawks rivalry
RENTON, Wash. -- Richard Sherman, the Seattle cornerback and poet laureate of NFL smack talk, was asked Wednesday about why the 49ers and Seahawks hate each other so much.
"I don't hate anybody," Sherman clarified. "But passion? Definitely. There will be some dislike. There will be some strong dislike."
And there will be some yapping. There will be some strong yapping. The NFC West rivals meet Sunday at CenturyLink Field with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl.
Expect Sherman to lead the defense -- and the discussion group. The talkative All-Pro corner already had advice before practice Wednesday when asked about silencing 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin, who jawed all day with Carolina Panthers defenders Sunday en route to an eight-catch, 136-yard day.
You won't see the disciplined Seahawks caught up in that, Sherman vowed.
"If (Boldin) wants to gab, then we'll deal with it," he said. "You don't have to head-butt him and do all of this crazy stuff to react to him. You slow him down. You stop him. If you don't want him in your face, don't let him catch the ball."
Sherman serves as the spokesman for the NFL's best secondary. Seattle topped the league in passing yards allowed (172.0), interceptions (28) and opposing quarterback rating (63.4).
The unit plays with a mauling style that tests the boundaries of the rule book. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is among those who have publicly wondered if a flag ought to be thrown more often.
Kevin Gilbride, the just-retired New York Giants offensive coordinator, joined the chorus recently by telling The Wall Street Journal that the Seahawks have "perfected the art" of pass interference. Seattle beat the Giants 23-0 in Week 15.
"I think he's the guy that's a little bit bitter," Sherman said of Gilbride. "His team didn't score any points that game, so I'd try to find a way to explain that, too."
Sherman said the Seahawks simply play with an aggressive style that ought to be embraced by NFL purists. He said the modern crackdown on contact has undermined the league's classic style.
"Every receiver every play can drop a wide-open pass and they'll turn around looking for a flag," he said. "And I think that kind of ruins the game. That kind of ruins the intensity, the whole DNA of football, if you see flags every single play.
"You know, there are going to be some pushing-offs and grabbing here and there, and that is the game of football. That's how it is. That's how it's always been. Ask the Michael Irvins of the world, the Jerry Rices who had to deal with those before these rules (changes). That is real football."
Considering his rise to prominence, it's hard to believe Sherman was a lightly-regarded prospect out of Stanford, where he played under Harbaugh. The former receiver wasn't drafted until the fifth round, which seems mind-boggling.
"It's incredibly mind-boggling," Sherman said Wednesday. "It fuels me every single day. I looked at what people wrote. They said, 'He's stiff. He has no ball skills. He doesn't have the instincts to play corner.' I think about that every day."
"(Inside linebackers) can't get any faster than that," Wilson said. "I can run pretty good, but they can run extremely fast. They're very physical, very smart football players, and I have a lot of respect for them and what they do."
Because Bowman and Willis dominate the headlines, Ahmad Brooks can go overlooked. But Seattle coach Pete Carroll said: "He's not underrated around here. He's been aggressive and tough and playmaking all year long."

Bit of politics and culture tonight, my friends. It is Ireland week after all, so we need to remind our Celtic cousins about our superior cultural heritage, don't we?
Siôn T. Jobbins' book about our National Anthem is going to stir up a fair bit of debate. In the week where the latest census revealed that Welsh speaking is declining in many of its traditional heartlands, the author of this pocket guide to our National Anthem is urging those who don't agree with the words not to sing it.
Whilst I support Jobbins' desire to defend our language and recognise its significance to our wider culture, history and identity, I don't think we should be telling people they can't sing a song at a rugby match.
For a start, what would we sing if we didn't sing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau? Hymns and Arias? And do we have to stop singing Cwm Rhondda because we don't believe every word of the Old Testament? Course we don't.
Our anthem is the nitro we add to the fuel tank just prior to kick off. It's one of the most spine-tingling experiences in the world to hear it belted out at the Millennium Stadium, and I'm pretty sure its proudly sung by everyone who knows the words. Or some of the words.
The key line for Jobbins is the final line of the chorus (we only sing one of the verses):
"O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau" – in English, "May the language endure for ever."
For many Welsh people the language is an intrinsic part of the national identity; a key component of our culture. Without the Welsh language, what is left of Wales to distinguish it from its neighbours?
The author ends with a challenge to "politicians and weak-willed people" to do more than just allow the language to "endure." He says we should all be standing up for Welsh and actively promoting it. And that means a lot more than belting it out before a rugby match.

I was glad to hear others say the course was hard. This was my first half and I found it very difficult. I loved running with the other women. I loved the medal. I thought there should have been cold water at the end and better food choices. I will do this event again if the course is changed.
This was my first half marathon and I thought it was very organized...I have nothing negative to say. I loved everything about it and will sign up again for next year. Yes it was tough but I am so proud for having finished. All the volunteers were great and I thanked as many as I could all along the course. Receiving the medal at the end by having a member of the armed services putting it around my neck was awesome too!
Enjoyed the race. Same as other comments about the huge hill on mile 12. That was definitely not a fun way to finish the race. No one in our group was able to wear their shirts because they were so short. Also had to wait a long time at many water stops due to water not being ready.
My biggest thing that I hope is changed and paid attention to at this race and any of their other events it medical staff being immediately on hand at the finish line. That is where people push themselves and bad things happen. I have no idea what happened to the woman that collapsed, but it took incredibly too long for help to get to her in my opinion. I am hoping to find out that she is ok, but I have yet to find anything that says so.
This course was BRUTAL ! But .... I loved the challenge !! I will definitely do it again though it would be nice if it weren't quite so expensive . The goody bag and food after was not worth the price of the race. The medal is very nice but still too expensive for a Half !
I enjoyed the event. It was well organized. The staff was supportive, particularly the bikers who were following the runners. I agree with the comments about the last mile, but overall it was a typical, challenging course. I will definitely do it again next year.
The good, bad, and ugly.
Good: pre race registration, communication, medal with pop out, volunteer cheerleaders, fun attmosphere.
Bad: too many hills, lack of sufficient medical services and trained personnel.
Ugly: death of runner due to the lack of sufficient trained medical personnel. It took so long to get medical attention that her brain was without oxygen beyond the survival time.
I enjoyed this race much more than this year's Country Music 1/2. The low number of participants and time clocks at every mile marker made this experience much more enjoyable. The mile 12 hill made my training in East Tennesse worth it. I was glad to see a difference in the course compared to the Country Music 1/2. I will definitely participate in this event again.
I really enjoyed this experience. This was my first half so I didn't know what to expect, the 12 mile mark was horrid since I was on my last little bit of energy. Hope they change that next year. I felt the race was very well organized and LOVED the support coming from everyone
HATED that the Renaissance was the featured Hotel, too expensive for not having a Refrigerator in the room....Seems that would be basic since even motel 6 provides one! Def will NOT ever stay there again!!!
This was my first 1/2 marathon. It seemed to be very organized. I love the metal, the shirt and especially appreciated my name on my bib. It really encourages you when you hear people saying your name. The bands were excellent! The BEST was having someone from the military in uniform placing our metals around our necks. They understand the real meaning behind a metal. I was shocked by the last hill at mile 12, especially when so many people were telling us it's all down hill from here. I wish there was some way to been able to have really cold drinks a the end of the race. I will definetly do it again, I will have to mentally and physically be more prepared. All that was done to make this event possible, I say thank you.
I agree with many that this course was a bit more challenging than the CMM, which was my first half marathon. That being said, I knew what was coming and couldn't act surprised when I had to run back up over that bridge at mile 12. I ran my race and was proud...very proud of my accomplishment. The clocks at the mile markers were a huge PLUS! I was so happy I could control my speed and keep it consistent mile to mile.
Check-in was efficient and easy, the hotel was more than accommodating and easy access to everything needed, and the volunteers, water stations, medical teams, etc. were wonderful. I would run this race again next year. Thank you!
It was great if you trained for it. If you like hills then you will like it.
This was my first 1/2 marathon - I loved it! The course was very hard, I was glad there were so many water stations. The volunteers were great, very encouraging. I LOVED the guy who was the 2:30 pace leader - he kept me going. Also, the clocks at every mile was a great way to stay on pace. The live music was great. I liked the shirt and medal.
On a negative note, the food at the finish line was terrible. I've done quite a few 5K's and they have had better food than this. There was nothing cold to drink either.
Overall with a few tweaks (mainly the food) I would do this race again next year.
This was my first half marathon. It was appropriately challenging - I appreciated the Striders helping at the Expo and making sure I was running at the right pace. Because I didn't overdo it with speed, I was able to finish feeling pretty good!
I was very impressed with how organized and well-thought out this marathon was. I loved the goodie bag and medal/necklace charm, too. I was lacking for nothing. The port-o-johns had plenty of toilet paper and the outdoor sinks were great. It was comforting to know that there were so many stations with water, gatorade and even energy gels at one point. The volunteers were outstanding, and encouraged me throughout the race, as well as the bystanders. Everyone was positive and encouraging and the whole tone throughout this race has been welcoming and helpful. The cookies, muffins and fruit and bottles of water were a nice touch at the end. I am looking forward to seeing my photos taken by the photographers and I'm also waiting to see my "official" results posted.
This is a half marathon that I look forward to doing again, every year if possible. Thanks again. You all were great!
I thought it was a great, well organized event. The course was very challenging I must say. I enjoyed seeing all the women out there supporting the cause. The race was intended to remember those we have lost or to praise those who have fought and won the battle of cancer. Job well done Nashville!
Enjoyed this race! Great support from the volunteers and staff all throughout the race, plenty of water stations and always stocked, I've been in other races where they run out before I get there (I'm a slow runner). Hills...well it's Nashville so I thought the course was fine, being from Nashville I've been in many other races where the hills were much worse but if you're not from around here or can't hill train I can see where this course would have been a real challenge...that being said it's also not a simple course because well...there's some hills but you can't avoid them in middle TN. Food at the end of the course was not anything to speak of, about what you'd expect at a not well known 5K but it's something they could improve on each year. I'd do the race again, same course and all!

Back in Black in San Leandro: Hold onto your hats -- or rather, your growlers -- craft beer fans. San Francisco's 21st Amendment Brewery, makers of Back in Black, Brew Free or Die, Hell or High Watermelon and other brews, are building a 95,000-square-foot brewery, tasting room and restaurant in the old Kellogg's cereal factory. Beer vs. Pop-Tarts? That's a no-brainer. For the last six years, 21st Amendment has partnered with Third Street Brewhouse in Cold Spring, Minn., to produce enough beer to slake the public's thirst -- and it hasn't been enough, say co-founders Nico Freccia and Shaun O'Sullivan. Now they're bringing "the vision and beer home to the Bay Area, where it all started when we opened our San Francisco brewpub in 2000," O'Sullivan says.
The production brewery -- with a beer-brewing behemoth, a 100-barrel, four-vessel GEA/Huppmann brew house -- and tasting room will be first out of the gate. Work on the restaurant, pub and beer garden starts in 2015, and the new stein-hoisting spot will be at 2010 Williams St. in San Leandro; 21st-amendment.com. Want to peek at the artist renderings? You'll find them on the Eat Drink Play blog at blogs.mercurynews.com/eat-drink-play.
Birk's at 25: One of the venerable dining spots for Silicon Valley movers and shakers, Birk's of Santa Clara, is turning the big 2-5. Owner David Whitcomb and executive chef Maurice Dissels have cooked up a March-long celebration, from a $25 Weekend Americana menu to 25-cent wings in the bar and a Birk's "89er" anniversary cocktail (Maker's Mark bourbon infused with applewood-smoked bacon and topped with maple foam). And anyone born in 1989, the year the restaurant opened, who dines at Birk's will receive a $25 gift card for a return visit.
Original owner-chef Don Durante (then of Le Mouton Noir in Saratoga) had envisioned a classic American grill in the style of San Francisco's Tadich. Renowned designer Pat Kuleto was brought in to create the brasserie look, and the restaurant was named after a major partner, Birk McCandless. Durante went on to open Cascal in Mountain View and Cin-Cin in Los Gatos. Other South Bay chefs with Birk's roots include Jim Stump (Stump's, The Table), Chris Schloss (Cin-Cin, The Fare PDQ) and Antonio Flores Lopez (Cascal). Find more Birk's history -- plus what's new on the menu -- at blogs.mercurynews.com/eat-drink-play.
Toast to Oakland: A buzzy new bar, the sleekly chic Parliament, just opened in Old Oakland. Think bar bites, craft cocktails -- including a gin-based Tunnel and a rum-grapefruit Bridge -- DJs and plenty of music. Plus, a happy hour that lasts four, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. weekdays. Details: 811 Washington St., Oakland; www.811parliament.com.
More tidbits: North Berkeley BART just acquired an Off the Grid of its own, a Sunday dinner market with 10 trucks serving up various bits of deliciousness from 5 to 9 p.m. And Off the Grid is now rolling into the Menlo Park Caltrain station parking lot from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays with a rotating series of trucks.

PI Name: CHAPKIN, ROBERT S.
Project Title: GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS OF CODING AND NON-CODING RNAS IN COLON CANCER PREVENTION
Abstract: Recent observations suggest that noncoding microRNA-mediated translational repression may be linked to the development of colon cancer. Unfortunately, to date, the effect of chemopreventive agents on microRNAs and their messenger RNA (mRNA) targets during different stages of colon cancer has not been determined. Interestingly, with respect to the functional mapping of gene expression signatures, the steady-state mRNA expression level does not always accurately reflect the status of critical signaling proteins. In these cases, control is exerted at the epigenetic level of recruitment of mRNAs to polysomes, the factories of ribosomes that mediate efficient translation of many cellular messages. However, to date, a genome-wide perspective of the effect of microRNAs on actively translated (polysomal) mRNA populations has not been performed. Therefore, the overall goal of this proposal is to understand, at the actively translated mRNA level, how microRNAs interact to influence gene expression at different stages of colon cancer development. Consistent with the objectives and scope of PA-06-412, "Diet, epigenetic events, and cancer prevention", we propose to use a well established in vivo colitis-associated colon cancer model, i.e., the azoxymethane (AOM)-dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treated rat in combination with a chemoprotective diet extensively studied in our laboratory, i.e., n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). This experimental model will be used to test our hypothesis that n-3 PUFA suppression of oncogene-direeled microRNA "signatures" will favorably modulate the levels of actively translated mRNAs in colonocytes, resulting in reduced tumor formation. The proposed experiments will elucidate how diet and chronic inflammation alter: (i) microRNA, (ii) actively translated (polysomal) and (iii) total (steady-state) mRNA populations in normal, uninvolved and malignant transformed colonic mucosa. Specifically, in aim 1, microarray analysis of colonic total (steady-state) mRNA and actively translated mRNA populations will be performed. Aim 2 will investigate the effects of disease progression on microRNAs and their mRNA targets by evaluating both microRNAs and actively translated mRNA transcripts following AOM/DSS or saline (control) treatment, and aim 3 will determine if a molecular portrait of microRNA expression signatures, actively translated mRNAs and/or steady-state total mRNAs can be used to classify colon tumor development. Findings from these experiments will quantify regulatory relationships among microRNAs and their target mRNAs in a highly relevant colon cancer model. This effort will identify new molecular targets for chemotherapeutic tools to both prevent and treat colon cancer.

Britney Spears' father Jamie says he was happy to beat Sam Lutfi in court Thursday, but disappointed he didn't get a chance to take the stand and rip him one.
Well, he didn't quite say it like that. But we know what he means.
Jamie Spears told TMZ Friday he's he's pleased the judge tossed out Lutfi's defamation lawsuit against the Spears family, but expressed disappointment at not being able to take the stand and tell the "real" story.
He also said it was hard to relive the darkest days of his daughter's life, when he thought she might actually die. He also said no one took the situation harder than Britney's mom Lynne.
Jamie said Britney hasn't spoken to Lutfi in four or five years.
The judge dismissed Lutfi's lawsuit for lack of evidence -- a lawsuit in which Lutfi claimed the Spears family defamed him, physically attacked him, and breached a management contract he had with Spears.
Jamie also said he does foresee and end to his daughter's conservatorship, but he's not sure when. He also talked about Britney's current gig on "X Factor," saying she got off to a rough start because of nerves, but has improved every week.
WOMAN SAYS CEE LO DRUGGED HER: The woman accusing Cee Lo Green of sexual battery allegedly secretly recorded a conversation with the singer, during which Green admitted slipping her Ecstasy and then having sex with her, sources told TMZ.
The alleged victim told police Green took her to a downtown L.A. restaurant in July. They had a drink and she says she remembers nothing after that. The woman claims the next thing she knew she was lying naked in a bed and Cee Lo was in the room.
TMZ said the woman, who does not live in California, almost immediately went to her local law enforcement agency and reported the incident. The matter was referred to Los Angeles Police
Sources told TMZ Los Angeles detectives had the woman make a "pretext call" -- a call in which someone baits the other party into acknowledging a crime -- and it was recorded. Green allegedly apologizes and refers to MDMA (Ecstasy), though he does not specifically say he put it in her drink. Sources say Green told her he thought the drug would help them have an exciting time together. MDMA, which is a stimulant, generally does not render people unconscious.
Police went to the restaurant last week to determine if employees saw anything unusual between Green and the woman. Sources close to Green reportedly told TMZ the accuser went to a civil lawyer before going to police and demanded money from the singer to make the allegations go away.
Other sources told TMZ said the woman's lawyer called Green's manager to find out if the singer had any communicable diseases, but that she did not make any money demands.
AMANDA BYNES RUNS AROUND TANNING SALON NAKED: Finally, a new adventure for the shining sack of craziness that is Amanda Bynes.
In Touch magazine reported Thursday saying the 26-year-old actress had been walking around naked at Beach Bump tanning salon in New York.
"She walked out of the (tanning) room completely naked," the publication quotes a source as saying. "She didn't seem to care that everyone saw her naked. She seemed totally out of it. There was definitely something wrong with her."
Well ... yeah.
But gossip website Celebuzz reports that Bynes denied In Touch's story (via text message) and added that "she'd sue."
Bynes has had quite a year. She's been charged in two separate hit-and-run accidents. She's facing a DUI charge after she crashed into a police car. She's been spotted driving around Southern California aimlessly, once seen smoking from what looked like a marijuana pipe. She also announced she was retired as an actor and moved to New York to start a clothing line.
Bynes told Us Weekly on Thursday "I'm suing In Touch for printing a fake story. I'm not 'troubled.' I don't get naked in public. I'm 26, a multi-millionaire, retired. Please respect my privacy."
That's right. Respect her privacy as she walks around a public place all naked and stuff. Retired actresses do that sort of thing, you know.
'TWILIGHT' STARS DO FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE CHEATING SCANDAL: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart sat down for their first interview together since news of Stewart's cheating scandal broke in July.
The newly reconciled couple, and "Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" co-star Taylor Lautner, sat down with "Entertainment Tonight's" Nancy O'Dell to talk about the final installment of the "Twilight" series, according to the Huffington Post.
OMG. :) and stuff! The band is back together again!
The three co-stars spoke to O'Dell about the journey they've taken staring in the blockbuster franchise, and Pattinson revealed that he felt like he had much less control or involvement with the final film than when they first filmed "Twilight" in 2008.
"The bigger something gets, it gets pretty heavy. You are part of a machine at that point. You know your face is still going to be on the front of it, but you have a little bit less control -- you have a lot less control," he said.
You mean, like, I don't know ... whether your girlfriend is off making other movies and cheating on you?
It didn't seem like there was much tension in the interview, though the website noticed Stewart was sitting closer to Lautner than she was to Pattinson.
So obviously she's cheating again.
The actors also sat down with MTV during "MTV First: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," which also aired on Nov. 1, where they talked about their Halloween costumes from the previous night, and Stewart made a revealing admission:
"I love 'Closer.' (It's) one of my favorite movies," she said of the 2004 film starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman, as two couples who toy with each other's emotions as they cheat on each other.
Both Stewart and Pattinson wore creepy translucent masks to Hollywood Forever Cemetery's Halloween Bash on Wednesday night, and Stewart later donned a short pink wig and sunglasses, in homage to Portman's stripper character from the film.
STORM DESTROYS PART OF ROSIE O'DONNELL'S PROPERTY: Superstorm Sandy destroyed Rosie O'Donnell's dock and craft house and generally made her backyard look like it was hit by a hurricane. Which, you know, it was.
The 50-year-old television personality posted several pictures of a dock and flooded craft house torn to pieces by the Hudson River. But O'Donnell remained upbeat. "All is well here by us -- damage to the dock and flooded craft house -- all fixable," she made sure to note on her Twitter.
I'm sure Donald Trump is writing her a check as I type.
O'Donnell isn't the only celebrity to have been impacted by the storm, of course. Donnie Wahlberg shared video footage of the flooding that took place at his apartment building during the storm, while New Yorkers from Katie Holmes to Alec Baldwin were forced to evacuate their downtown Manhattan homes and find shelter elsewhere.
PRINCE WILLIAM'S GUARD FIRES GUN: One of Prince William's and Kate Middleton's guards fired a gunshot inside a vehicle last week, according to E! News. No one was injured.
Police are investigating the incident in which an officer believed to be guarding the home of the royal couple, accidentally fired a shot inside a vehicle. The shot damaged the floor of the vehicle but did not injure either of the officers inside.
Maybe the car was behaving in a threatening manner.
The officer involved has been removed from firearms duty while the incident is investigated.
William and his wife, now known as the Duchess of Cambridge, have a rented home in Wales, where the prince is a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot. It wasn't specified whether they were home at the time of the incident.

As the host of TRL, an ET correspondent and the girlfriend of a pop megastar, Vanessa Minnillo sure is a busy gal. But when BONGO JEANS asked the former beauty queen to be the new face of BONGO for Spring 2007, the self-proclaimed denim addict (she owns hundreds of pairs!) couldn't say no — especially when she saw some of the clothes she'd be wearing in her very own ad campaign. "These shorts are special," she told me at her sexy BONGO photo shoot, where she tried on cropped cardigans and comfy soft knit tanks, skirts, and shorts—some really SHORT shorts. "I have no bum, but these give you a nice little booty." Ok, Vanessa, but when it comes to those teeny tiny shorts, booty isn't everything—how does she keep her legs so long and lean? "I'm not gonna lie, I do go to the gym. But honestly, you just have to find time to be active," she told me. Then she picked up a downright adorable pair of canvas pumps with red patent leather heels. "But if you want these legs in these shorts? These heels will help," she said. Spoken like a true pitchwoman. —Kristen Mascia

A neighborhood is on edge after a number of car windows were shot out over the weekend.
Some are concerned it could be gang initiation, others chalk it up to high school antics.
One woman who lives on Lansing's Northwest side wanted to remain anonymous for fear of becoming a target in her community.
"I noticed my back window was shattered," the woman said. "Now I'm afraid that my other vehicles or my car or my house will be broke."
She's just one of up to a dozen people from the same Sexton-area neighborhood paying for a window repair at Safelite Auto Glass on Pennsylvania Ave. after discovering their vehicle had been vandalized.
"This amount of broken glass all at one time is a little unusual," Safelite Manager Bill Smith said.
Smith fixed three separate cars just on Monday, all either back windshields or side windows. He said they appear to be broken the same way, and after 25 years at Safelite, he's experienced this kind of thing before.
"Maybe gang related, initiation style," Smith said. "Looks like maybe BB guns or something might be being used, shatters into a million little pieces."
Lansing Police confirm at least seven incidents of parked car windows being shot out with a pellet or similar gun over the weekend. Majority of the reports came from Comfort Street.
Police do not believe it is gang related, but they are taking this seriously.
"You've probably got one or two different individuals that are out there pulling pranks, either purchased a BB gun or found one and actually discovered it will go through glass," Lansing Police Officer Robert Merritt said. "Thought it would be fun over the weekend, but it's dangerous. From a BB to a real bullet, they still do a lot of damage as well as hurt, as well as some cases, it could kill you."
Merritt called this high priority. Malicious destruction of property won't be taken lightly, and patrols in the area will be especially vigilant. For the victims though, the damage is already done.
"I am worried about the neighborhood though,' the woman said. "Because if that happens, what else could? I'm worried about drive-bys or something."
Lansing Police are encouraging people to file a report, even if your car has already been fixed.
Detectives will be working this case, and every piece of data will help lead them to an arrest.

Consumer Debt Falls on Less Mortgage Borrowing
Total consumer debt levels fell 1.1% to $11.53 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the prior quarter, largely due to developments in the housing market, a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said Monday.
The figure released by the bank included mortgage-related borrowing, which by itself fell by 1.6% in the quarter. The bank noted household mortgage debt is now 11% under its peak level.
With housing related borrowing taken out of the mix, consumer debt levels with mortgages and home equity loans stripped out rose by 0.8% in the fourth quarter to $2.635 trillion.
The New York Fed said that those with credit-related troubles fell. Total delinquency rates moved to 9.8% of total outstanding debt from 10% in the third quarter. The bank noted $1.12 trillion in consumer debt is delinquent; some $824 billion is deemed "seriously delinquent."
The report found housing related borrowing remained a troubled arena for households. While the fourth quarter level is 35.3% under its fourth quarter 2010 peak, there was nevertheless a 9.5% increase in the last three months of 2011 for those with a foreclosure noted on their credit record.
That said, banks wrote more mortgages, with originations rising in the fourth quarter. For the year, mortgage originations were 3.1% below their 2010 levels, and at their lowest level since 2000.
The New York Fed report shows that the central bank's efforts to ease credit conditions via rock bottom interest rates and aggressive balance sheet policies have struggled to find real success. The housing market is still in the dumps, and that is largely why Fed officials have over recent months pointed to policies other parts of the government could implement to improve conditions in this key part of the economy.
