Smith reportedly told authorities that he had committed the crime as retribution for Britt sitting in his favorite bingo seat. He said he was now embarrassed and regretted his actions.
Smith has since been released, but could face a fine of $500 for tire damage and restitution.

Although she has no hard feelings, Britt said she remains a bit puzzled.
"I thought everybody was my friend, but undoubtedly I have one enemy," Britt said.
She said she hopes Smith pays for her tire repair as fixing them took "every dime [she] had in the bank."

It’s the breast thing you’ll read all day. Sorry.

The fancy medical term for this is fibrocystic breast changes, and it refers to breast tissue that's particularly lumpy, with little fluid-filled cysts. It used to be called fibrocystic breast disease, but it's actually something that affects more than half of women at some point, so doctors dropped the word "disease," Dr. Sandhya Pruthi, an internist specializing in breast cancer prevention research at the Mayo Clinic, tells BuzzFeed Life.
You'll probably notice more lumps, breast pain, and tenderness as you approach your period, and it's most common between the ages of 20 and 50 (it usually calms down after menopause). Basically, it's totally normal and nothing to worry about. But if the pain gets worse or you notice new lumps that feel hard, irregular, and immovable, check it out with your doctor.

There is some evidence that caffeine may increase breast pain and tenderness, especially in people with fibrocystic breast changes, Dr. Elisa Port, chief of breast surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center and the co-director of the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai, tells BuzzFeed Life. But dedicated coffee drinkers might choose a little boob pain over living life uncaffeinated. So basically, do with that what you will.
That achy breast pain might actually be muscle soreness behind your boob, says Pruthi. So if you've been doing lots of pushups or chest exercises, it could be your pectoral muscles that are really hurting.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Carla Gugino in San Andreas

With an estimated domestic box office debut of $53.2 million, San Andreas is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's best ever opening weekend as the solo star of a film. But what does that even mean in 2015? Does San Andreas' box office success finally make Johnson a bona fide A-list movie star? Does it demonstrate instead that he is merely the actor with the best business savvy working in Hollywood today? Or is there, perhaps, no difference between the two anymore?
The definition of a movie star is, at best, difficult to pin down. It can mean an actor who regularly brings in massive box office on their name alone, like Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Will Smith used to do until they didn't anymore, or like Scarlett Johansson, Melissa McCarthy, and Kevin Hart have done over the past few years. It can mean an actor who is so strongly identified with a blockbuster franchise that one's success is inexorably linked to the other's, like Robert Downey Jr. with the Iron Man and Avengers movies, Jennifer Lawrence with the Hunger Games films, and Kristen Stewart with the Twilight films. Or it can mean an actor whose charismatic persona, stunning beauty, and Oscar credibility transcend the need for consistent blockbuster box office, like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Reese Witherspoon.
Johnson does not quite fall into any of those categories. His charisma and physical beauty are undeniable, but without any awards season attention, he hasn't yet reached Hollywood's most rarefied inner circle. (You only need to look at Mark Wahlberg and Jonah Hill's elevated stature in Hollywood after their respective Oscar nominations to understand how important it can be to an actor's career.)
As a solo star, meanwhile, only Johnson's family films have been hits, and modest ones at best — his most successful film to date, 2007's The Game Plan, pulled in $90.6 million domestically. Otherwise, movies built on Johnson's star power alone — low-budget crime thrillers like 2010's Faster and 2013's Snitch — haven't even reached $50 million in North America, and barely make any money overseas. The visual effects–driven fantasy adventure film Hercules, Johnson's big star vehicle for the summer of 2014, got creamed when it opened opposite Johansson's Lucy; the film ultimately eked out just $72.7 million in North America.

Instead, Johnson has had the most success joining franchises that were already modestly successful, and each time, his presence appeared to boost that franchise's global box office. 2013's G.I. Joe: Retaliation earned roughly $75 million more worldwide than 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. 2012's Journey 2: The Mysterious Island made nearly $100 more worldwide than its 2008 predecessor. And 2011's Fast Five nearly doubled the global box office of 2009's Fast and Furious — a trajectory that has barely slowed with the subsequent Fast and Furious movies. Furious 7 is now the fourth highest grossing film worldwide of all time.
These franchises, however, aren't defined in audiences' minds by Johnson's presence — he's added value, but he isn't the main event. San Andreas' marketing campaign similarly emphasized the film's destructive spectacle over Johnson's appeal as a movie star. You could arguably have substituted another bulked-up actor in the role — like Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Hunnam, or, yes, Mark Wahlberg — and the film's box office result likely would have been the same.
But the movie didn't star those actors; it starred Johnson. And in a Hollywood marketplace dominated by franchises and visual effects, and that has less and less need for specific actors to be a film’s main box office draw, Johnson has carved out a unique place for himself as a kind of 21st century movie star. With 49 million likes on Facebook, 8.7 million followers on Twitter, and a massive physique that is its own special effect, Johnson has created an unmistakable persona as an irrepressibly likable guy’s guy. Like the muscle-bound stars of the 1980s, he literally cannot disappear into a role, but unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Johnson is also content to let the destruction of California overshadow his star power. It’s a strategy that has increasingly paid off, especially overseas, where even Hercules earned an impressive $170 million. So while Johnson may not quite fulfill the traditional definition of a movie star, he is certainly redefining it for himself.

*Opening weekend
The three girls were able to signal for help using the bracelets after a car crash.
The car crashed, knocking Dazzio unconscious and trapping the two other young women in the car.
"You could smell the gas and smoke," Caroline Dazzio told WBRZ. "I was just thinking we need to get out of this car."
To make matters worse, two of their cell phones were dead. The women looked, but could not find the third cell phone in the car.
Go ahead, rub one out.

BuzzFeed Life spoke to Sulyn Silbar, ACSM-certified personal trainer and founder of Body + Mind NYC, and Luke Bongiorno, physical therapy director of NY SportsMed & Physical Therapy, who recommended these simple self-massages. You can do some with your hands only, while others require the aid of a tennis ball or foam roller — but all are super easy and only take a few minutes, no professional required.
The best part about this move is you can do it under your desk without interrupting whatever you're doing. You can use a regular tennis ball, but Silbar recommends a spiked ball like this one, which will leave you feeling airy on your feet.
Here's how to do it:
1. While sitting, step on the ball with a bare or socked foot and roll back and forth from heel to toe with firm pressure — but don't try to flatten the ball completely.
2. If anywhere feels particularly painful or tender, work those knots out by rolling in small circles.
If you need more pressure: Do while standing instead of sitting.
