Rut took piano lessons in grade school, but they didn't stick. He asked his parents for a guitar because he wanted to be Ace Frehley of KISS. When his guitar teacher told him the members of KISS "weren't real musicians," he stopped playing-until high school. "I found a friend who knew all the classic rock riffs. That's when I started hearing songs in my head," he said.

OAKLAND Police here have arrested a suspect in an ambush-style shooting that targeted two brothers who operated a late-night lingerie store in an area known for prostitution, according to jail records.

The shooting happened around 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 19.

The meeting, with a yet-to-be-determined date, comes as significant questions remain about plans for the 112 acres of land, the largest publicly owned redevelopment site in Oakland.

In 2019, the county entered a deal with the A's baseball team's owners to sell its 50% undivided interest in the property to the team.

The Greenfield Police Department in Monterey County is leading the operation. The department said it is part of a statewide theft ring in which people stole fuel from gas stations. Greenfield's police chief said two of his officers first discovered what was going on by chance. "We were lucky enough to have some officers that were on point and made an arrest during one of the several fuel thefts here in Greenfield, and that opened the box to this larger investigation,"

Both NBC Bay Area and KTVU were covering the story that FBI agents raided four East Bay locations Wednesday morning, in what is apparently an investigation into a stolen diesel fuel ring. Both reports are short on details, but the Bay Area News Groups seems way ahead on this one, noting that the raids come "amid reports that a group of thieves had set up a station to sell stolen gasoline at an East Oakland chop shop."

For starters, there was the physical and mental toll of running a restaurant for 10 years. It was a good run, but my body's all messed up now, he said. I realized that I was sort of sacrificing my health and well-being for the sake of the business. And I really want to spend more time with my son. This opportunity came along, and it was a really hard decision to make.

Insult has been added to injury for the estimated 200 people who were displaced by Monday morning's apartment fire in Oakland's Uptown, after their landlord issued them all eviction letters.
