Business and residential interests in downtown Lansing might be affected beginning today, as large portions of downtown Lansing streets will close for several months. The closures, part of a Michigan Department of Transportation initiative known as the Capitol Loop Project, seek to repair the Lansing roadways, as well as improve downtown aesthetics.

Two popular computer services - e-mail and search engines - are scheduled to combine with a new "Gmail" service provided by Google Inc. Announced Wednesday, the Web-based e-mail system would be free for users and offers 1 gigabyte of storage, more than 100 times the amount of rival free e-mail service providers.
