Germantown home invaders took safe, other valuables

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/dec/07/germantown-couple-bound-home-invasion/

Unanswered questions!!!!
Although I am pretty sure the couple is not lying about what happened, don't you think it is a little strange that nothing was given about the identity of the criminals? In the article the home owner said, "police have a “lot of interviewing” to do because of the number of housekeeping and other service people the couple hire. He said the home invasion was not random and that the homeowner had been specifically targeted." Maybe they should begin by asking for a description of the robbers. It is poosible that someone might have seen them in the area. I doesn't make me feel safe when I know that there was a break in about twenty minutes from my house, but I am unaware of who to watch out for.

Tigers climb to No. 2 in AP poll

It's the third time U of M ranked that high
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/dec/03/tiger-climb-no-2-ap-poll/
The University of Memphis's basketball team has great expectations this year. This is only the third time they have been ranked in the Associated Press Top 25. Both of the last times they have been ranked, they lost to Virginia Tech. I believe that the U of M men's basketball team will fill the shoes that have been given to them this year. They will not let anyone down. The team did very well last year and they have been working on things from last year. Their record so far this year is great and will only continue to get better.

Sheriff busts marijuana operation

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/dec/03/sheriff-busts-marijuana-operation/

"Shelby County sheriff’s deputies arrested six men and confiscated more than 1,200 pounds of marijuana last weekend." Drugs are more common than they need to be. It seems like every where you turn there is some kind of drug being used. Drugs need to be controlled, and the only way to help control them is if law enforcement tries to stop the spread of drugs, through manufacture and resell. When drugs are on the street, they are available for young teens and young adults to get a hold of. Drugs are very dangerous and i am grateful to see that the law enforcement officers busted a drug deal of this size.
