With extensive East and West Village projects in the making, the city of East Lansing really needs to focus its attention on the 8-year-old City Center II project. Slated for the corner of Abbott Road and Grand River Avenue, officials are now saying the proposed $180 million City Center II will either house two museums, including the MSU Museum, or a hotel.

If you've followed the MSU hockey team this season, you've been put through a roller coaster ride. You've witnessed the highs of beating nationally ranked New Hampshire and Michigan in overtime to win the Great Lakes Invitational. But at the same time, you've witnessed the lows of only being able to sweep a CCHA series once, which is partially the cause for MSU's current eighth-place status in the conference. After another series split this weekend against No.
Plans are expected to surface soon for a $180 million East Lansing development that could move the MSU Museum downtown or bring in a hotel, city officials say. The City Center II project, slated for the corner of Abbott Road and Grand River Avenue, could be in front of the East Lansing Planning Commission for approval within 90 days, said Scott Chappelle, president of Strathmore Development. The development company would tear down the vacant Citizens Bank headquarters and occupied (SCENE) Metrospace art gallery and replace the buildings with two museums and space for retail, office and residential units. The developer also said there is a possibility of acquiring the vacated site where The Evergreen Grill was located, which is being sold by WLM Properties Limited Liabilities Co. Officials said the project - eight years in the making - is modeled after East Lansing's $30 million City Center I on M.A.C.

When East Lansing Police Chief Louis Muhn was a child, he was in a minor car accident and was given a ride home by a police officer, who let him turn on the siren in the cruiser. That experience stayed with Muhn and inspired him to become a police officer. After 32 years with the East Lansing Police Department, Muhn will retire April 30. "I want to retire when the department is in good shape and things are running smoothly," he said. Muhn's career in law enforcement started at the Michigan State Police, where he applied the first day he could, on his 21st birthday. When he wasn't accepted for a job, he went directly to the East Lansing Police Department. He was hired the same day as a dispatcher coordinating responses to emergency calls.

The amount of weight a woman gains after age 18 is a strong indicator of whether she will develop breast cancer, according to American Cancer Society research. Some local health officials, however, question the findings. Women who gain between 20 and 30 pounds after age 18 are 40 percent more likely to get breast cancer after menopause than women who keep the weight off, said lead researcher of the study Heather Spencer Feigelson. Women who gained more than 70 pounds were twice as likely to get cancer than women who gained less than 20 pounds, the research showed. "It is a well-descripted finding in the scientific world, but it's not very well-known among women that weight gain is a high risk factor," Feigelson said. Feigelson said the best explanation is that estrogen stimulates breast cancer cells to grow and multiply and, throughout her life, a woman's estrogen is stored in fat tissue.
