ROSEVILLE – A security guard was fired from a Roseville Best Buy after he tackled a suspect fleeing from deputies last week. Surveillance footage, taken by the family of Tyler, the former Best Buy security guard, shows Placer County deputies chasing a suspect through a Roseville shopping plaza. “There was a guy who walked by and when he got by his car, a bunch of undercover sheriffs came over to arrest him,” said Tyler.

Growing up in Roseville in the 1970s, by the time I reached junior high school the majority of my neighborhood friends were refugees from Detroit, those who fled at a time when the inner city was showing the earliest signs of degenerating into an urban wasteland. These suburban families represented the beginning of white flight, a massive population shift that would prove to be Detroit’s undoing over the next four decades. Once safely settled in suburbia, these whites would eventually lead the charge against cross-district busing and would congregate as an anti-Detroit voting bloc. That led to Macomb County political...

Al Qaeda 'Re-Emerging' in Pakistan Sanctuaries The U.S. military said Tuesday it expected Al Qaeda to continue its "re-emergence" in sanctuaries in Pakistan's tribal areas from where it supported attacks in Afghanistan. Sanctuary was provided to Al Qaeda and Taliban rebels after Islamabad signed a peace deal with militants in a desperate attempt to quell the unrest in its federally administered areas in September 2006, a U.S. military official said.

When Hewlett-Packard Co. opted to move 500 manufacturing jobs from Roseville to Houston last year, that decision was made easier by the fact that Texas officials courted HP, while California's leaders appeared indifferent, HP's top officer said Thursday. Speaking at a Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce luncheon, HP chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina said the technology giant received three calls from Texas Gov. Rick Perry plus some financial incentives from the state. "We endeavored to interact with both governments," Fiorina said. "I couldn't get anyone to pay much attention in California."
