Mays was released from the Flint City Lockup Saturday afternoon hours after he was arrested for alleged drunken driving and possession of marijuana on I-475.
Attorney Frank Manley said he is representing Mays, who also received citations for no proof of insurance and failure to submit to fingerprinting after his arrest.
"I expect him to remain on the city council until the residents in his ward deem otherwise," said Manley.
Manley declined comment on specifics of the allegations and said he needs to review reports in the case.
Manley said he may seek to have any case against Mays moved out of Genesee County due to the "hysterical outcry that appears to be emanating from people that have voiced their opinions so far."
"He is presumed innocent." Manley said of Mays. "His arrest has unleashed a feeding frenzy of malice."
Mays was arrested after Flint police were dispatched to southbound I-475 north of Carpenter Road in reference to a car with four flat tires around 2:51 a.m.
Police said the vehicle involved had been traveling north in the southbound lanes of I-475 on four flat tires. Mays was trying to change a flat when police found him.
Flint Emergency Manager Darnell Earley said he will discuss the councilman's arrest with Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday.

Darkness descends Singapore Changi Airport as I continue surfing the net and chatting on MSN ... it was now 19:10 and my boarding pass saids boarding for my flight home begins at 19:30. I was in Changi's Terminal 1 and my flight departs from Gate F31 in Terminal 2 ... and I was hungry and needed some food, fast. Quickly shutting the computer down, I grabbed my bags, stopped off at a bubbler (Aussie for drinking fountain) for a drink before heading upstairs to the food court and found Subway, where I bought an ultra-expensive S$6.10 roast beef sandwich. I've never been a fan of Subway but it was food to go ... and I forgot where McDonald's was in Terminal 1!
I then ran onto a people mover onto Terminal 2 (stuffing the Subway sandwich into my mouth as we travelled) and off the other side, walking briskly to Gate F31. I took a glance at the departure monitors, it dawned on me that the flight doesn't depart until 20:30 and that SQ allows for one hour to board the A380. Phew! It was an unceremonious start to what would be my second flight on the A380.
The Flight
Date: Tuesday 8 January, 2007
Flight: SQ221
Route: Singapore Changi Terminal 2 (SIN) - Sydney Kingsford-Smith (SYD)
Aircraft: Airbus A380-841 (9V-SKA)
Departs: 2030
Arrive: 0705 + 1 day
Seat: 75A ("UPPER DECK" )
The new darling of the skies
The Airbus A380 certainly is the new darling amongst air travellers - even people who don't have an interest in aviation talks about it. And so at Changi, the glass window looking onto Gate F31 (where 9V-SKA has "lived" since October) seems to be always full of people gawking and pointing at the A380, and getting their pictures taken with her. And I was lucky enough to fly aboard the A380 ... for the second time!
It goes without saying, however, that taking pictures of the plane would not be easy in the dark, with the sloping window and no tripod. Never mind, a bit of ingenuity with a magazine means I had a place to rest my camera. I do quite like the effect of the bright nose and darkened tail:
Moments later a SilkAir A320 (9V-SLG) would pull into the adjacent gate and this gave a rather interesting photo of the smallest and largest in the "family" side-by-side (both the Airbus and Singapore Airlines families!).
After drinking even more water from the drinking fountains (this no bottle/liquids rule is really p@#%ing me off!) I went to the boarding lounge. It was approaching 19:45 (I spent many minutes trying to get those photos ...) and the security lines were pretty long. Interestingly, the staff gave out Australian arrival cards after boarding pass check.
The lounge was pretty full already and it was difficult to find a seat - I hope they made the lounges bigger in the new Terminal 3! But not to worry, boarding was called almost immediately at 19:50 and the seats quickly emptied. I have always wondered why people feel the need to line up so early when you get the same seat on board anyway?!
Now, how does gate staff know which airbridge you should go onto? After all, for the A380 there is one bridge for the upper deck passengers and another for the lower deck. Easy, just print your assigned deck SO BIG on the boarding pass that you can see it from 38,000ft!
I took an opportunity to photograph 9V-SKA front-on, using my backpack as a tripod. Let's just say it took many, many attempts for one shot to turn out reasonably OK but despite the best effort from my hands I couldn't stop the reflection! Many others were also trying this photo but gave up pretty quickly ...
The A380 is the first time I've seen the seat map on a board in a departure lounge. I wonder if they had these boards back when the 747 was new?
SQ and Changi are milking the A380 connection for all its worth - big mural on the wall on the lounge.
By now it was 20:10 and I noticed the Upper Deck line had all but disappeared. So, I broke my "tradition" and walked on. By contrast, the Main Deck line still stretched halfway along the lounge - and you can see the line on the airbridge, too!
I really wonder if it's efficient using one airbridge for the 148 passengers on the top deck whilst the main deck also gets only one but having 323 passengers! It doesn't add up. I wonder if it's workable to draw a line on the lower deck (say from Door 4 back) and those passengers also board by the upper deck bridge?
An empty airbridge, something I have almost never seen on boarding any widebody aircraft (well except on this particular morning when I was stone motherless last in boarding my 777 in Hong Kong!).
And finally getting to the door. No-one here, either, the crew even has time to joke with the ground staff. It's another world compared to what the bridge is like on the main deck.
... to find a very empty Business Class! Boarding has just about finished and there's only a few solitary souls here! No wonder there was no queue to get on board.
Upper deck economy, however, was pretty full. Except my row. I got to Row 75 to find two empty seats! Again, the Singapore Girl offered to put my bag away in the overhead lockers before I got myself comfortable in my seat.
The greatest thing about travelling on the A380's Upper Deck are these - the extra storage bins by the window seats. Not only does it increase elbow room but also very handy to put your carry on. As these photos demonstrates, it swallows a 17" laptop satchel with plenty of room to spare. I even stuffed the pillow + my jacket in there.
The extra space between seat and wall really is enormous:
The seat next to me was still empty, so I decided to get up and take some pictures of the cabin. The lovely Singapore Girl seen here is the one who's responsible for the port side of Upper Deck Economy. Lucky me!
Windows are smaller on the Upper Deck compared to the Main Deck.
And they're impossible to take photos out of at night due to the curvature. Nevertheless I found it amusing they always put a 737 or an A320 on either side of the A380 - at least here in Terminal 2.
Of course, the last passenger to board took the seat next to me. D'oh!!!
I noticed quite a few passengers were wandering around getting photos, and commenting about how "different" and "special" this aircraft is compared to other planes they'd flown - even a bloke from Business Class came back for some pics. That saids everything you need to know about the A380.
Into the Tropical Night
It didn't seem long until we were pushed back and taxiied out towards Runway 02R for departure. It was dark, so nothing much to see at all. A Qantas 737 took off ahead of us - yes you read that right, a 737 ... I had noticed something like a Qantas 737 come into Terminal 1 just as I was leaving but thought I was seeing things ... I wonder why it was in Singapore and where it was headed to?
Just as I noticed on my first A380 flight, the aircraft was whisper quiet as we took off. Couldn't gauge whether we were gaining height quickly at all due to the lack of landmarks. But flaps went up pretty quickly so I guess we were speeding up at least! Soon landing lights were switched off and it was absolutely pitch black outside.
It was another bumpy climb away from Singapore. The Singapore Girls started handing out dinner menus and serving juice + peanuts pretty quickly. I compiled a bit of a playlist from the excellent CD collection and settled back to read a magazine. After the (mysterious) extra pitch in the 777 earlier in the day the A380 seemed extremely cramped.
One of the great things about SQ's new interior are the LED reading lights. No longer are they out of focus and nowhere near powerful enough, they're actually alright to read with. There's the conventional overhead light but to "not disturb others", there is another one provided under the IFE screen. With both on the light is pretty powerful, as you can see here:
Dinner was served about 1 hour 20 minutes after take-off. I chose the roast chicken option which is ok, far better than the "KFC" chicken with mash I had on the flight from Hong Kong. The roast chicken is done Chinese style with tasteless fried rice ... I only realised until after I'd eaten that the dark cup with the SQ logo is soy which you're meant to pour on the rice! Oops. The smoked salmon salad was a nice touch, the piece of salmon was HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and thick.
As is usual, this was followed by ice-cream, an ice-cream sandwich this time. Yum.
After the trays were cleared, it was time for a a walkabout. I decided to head down the spiral staircase to see what the main deck was like. It confirmed my suspicion that service really is slower downstairs - they were only just settling into their meal when we had finished our's. Here the F/A's had just made it into the galley after serving dinner.
Due to the trolleys being around I didn't walk any further and walked back up the stairs. After the usual post-meal rush for the lavatories the cabin was quiet as everyone settled into watching something on the IFE. The lights were dimmed to a yellowish glow.
Minutes later the lights went blue and then off. We were indeed settling into an overnight flight. I returned to my seat and tried to sleep. A380 or not, longhaul flying in Economy is as uncomfortable an experience as you can get.
The lack of noise and the turbulence put me to sleep rather quickly. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I woke up to find we had reached Western Australia - I had slept reasonably peacefully for about 90 minutes, which isn't that bad. I tried to go back to sleep but it wasn't easy ... then a baby started crying, and that was the end of sleeping!
I was getting awfully thirsty, probably not helped by the wine I had with dinner. So I pressed the call button and within 30 seconds the Singapore Girl appeared. She actually brought back a full tray of water and handed them to those who were awake at the time. Smart move, and not one that's repeated often on other carriers. Throughout the next few hours I pressed the button (trust me I really was thirsty! ) and she would appear within 30 seconds. Now that's service!
Cruising above the Great Australian Outback
It was pitch black outside. This also means that the sky was lit up by thousands of stars. It's simply magical, something that's a "trademark" for the Australian Outback.
The Australian Outback might seem like a sea of nothingness but a flight over it at night proves otherwise. Every minute or so a few lights would appear on the ground below - there are certainly many people who live and work on these remote cattle stations (and other properties).
To pass the time I flipped through Krisworld to see if anything caught my eye. I chose episode 1 of Michael Palin's New Europe series, but that didn't last long. I then plugged in my laptop and tried to sort through a few photos, not a good idea at what is 2:00am ... nor is trying to play ATC2 (the Japanese air traffic control game). And oh, just like last time I couldn't get any power through my Aussie/Kiwi/Chinese 3-pin plug - had to put on my European adaptor. It's advertised that you can use the Aussie plug on board but I couldn't get it to work either times ...
I really, really hate longhaul flying! Especially overnight flights!
Breakfast in the dark
Just as I got really bored the cabin lights were flicked on and breakfast was served as we exited the Northern Territory. There was still almost three hours to go! Surely they could've left it another 30-45 minutes!
We now had a nice tailwind behind us as we arrived in New South Wales:
The first rays of light appeared about an hour before we were due to touch down. I always enjoy watching sunrise from an aircraft, the colours are simply wonderful!
Soon the sky turned blue and revealed the farms of New England below.
A few minutes later we started our descent to Sydney over what should be the Upper Hunter Valley. The speed brakes were deployed.
Unfortunately the cloud cover started just as we turned onto the glidepath of Runway 16R - we were already locked on the glidepath when we were still more than 100 miles out! Here we are just a little north of Broke and Cessnock. It's a shame because I always enjoy the beautiful approach to Sydney over the Hunter Valley.
Arriving Home
It was a bumpy ride through the clouds as we continued to descend towards Sydney. We broke through the clouds at leafy North Turramurra with the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park in view here, and a glimpse of Bobbin Head Road which is one of the climbs I use when training on my bike.
The port side windows on a Runway 16 approach really shows off Sydney, as you'll see. Here we're over the North Shore suburb of Gordon.
Lindfield, the Lane Cove National Park and the University of Technology, Sydney campus - where I spent 3 years obtaining my first degree and 1 year as teaching staff.
The cargo ships that greet us on approach to Singapore Changi is now replaced by pleasure craft on the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers here in Sydney.
Over Parramatta River with formerly industrial Cockatoo Island in the middle - it's usually here aircraft on approach extend their landing gear, but owing to being on the upper deck I could not hear it being extended - although the added wind noise seems to confirm it already had.
Definitely Sydney now as the Harbour Bridge and the city comes into view - the thick clouds also made it dark all of a sudden. I do like the silhouette effect on the buildings.
Must be really humid - check out the air stream over the wing.
The Long Taxi
Strangely, we taxiied all the way down to the end of Runway 16R before turning off onto Taxiway Alpha. As I have not spotted A380 arrivals here I don't know whether this is a usual occurrence but it is weird to me.
Horses swimming at The Beach! First time I've seen them in the water after hearing about them from other spotters - and stepping in the horse s@#$ there!
Some edited pics showing my favourite spotting location in Sydney - The Beach. Yes you can walk out to the fence! Here someone takes their dog for a run around here (it is incredibly popular with dog owners who let their dogs run around off leash and have a swim - so don't go there if you don't like dogs!) The Fence is a fantastic spot to watch widebodies (they're almost all widebodies) taxi by just metres from you.
Other than that, the Breakwater is fantastic for seeing 16R rotations.
Over General Holmes Drive - light traffic at 0700.
Our long taxi has allowed Virgin Atlantic's A340-600 (G-VRED) to sneak ahead of us. Ironically she has also flown from Hong Kong - but left 5.5 hours after I did. This shows how much longer a Singapore transit takes.
Singapore Airlines has a 747-400 overnighting in Sydney ever night - on this occasion it is 9V-SPJ.
Finally, we arrived at Gate 57 - where my Asian journey began 36 days ago. As I had observed on that day the ground staff swarmed over the A380 as soon as we parked.
The "A380 Capable" catering truck doesn't take long to raise up to Upper Deck level.
Welcome Home - to a mess!
With just over 100 pax on the Upper Deck disembarkation was very swift, very narrowbody like. I really think they could let the rear of the Main Deck economy cabin come up the stairs and use this airbridge to disembark ...
A photo of Business Class on the way out:
[start rant] Sydney Airport is again a big mess with the A340-600 and A380 arriving at the same time - it's the first time in years I've come through this pier and the only "improvement" has been the intrusion of the duty free store. Personally I think it's disgusting that pax have to virtually walk through a duty free store to get to Immigration. There was a short line-up at Immigration but nothing compared to the Foreign Passports queue.
After the efficiency of Changi and Hong Kong it was a shock to arrive in Sydney. The baggage hall is about as elegant as that of Kuala Lumpur's Low Cost Terminal! And the carousels themselves are not long enough to handle a large widebody with suitcases being held back as the carousel is already full. It is not helped that the Immigration line is so long that most of the suitcases go unclaimed and go round and round. I waited 2 minutes for my suitcase to drop from the belt onto the carousel ...
Luckily, there was no queue at Quarantine, I simply showed the staff my bag of food (which was quite a bag!), whilst other staff put my luggage through the X-ray and off I went. I've long suspected that Aussie passport holders get an easier time through Quarantine and I noted the officer didn't really take much of a look inside the bag, nor at the X-ray machine!
With that, I navigated through the throng of greeting friends and relatives in the arrivals hall and proceeded on the long walk to the other side of the terminal for the train. It cost A$13.80 just to get to the city, what a blatant rip off - and all in the "comfort" of a hot, non air-conditioned train that is standing room only in peak hour.
Sydney really needs to up its game - the first impressions of a visitor can't be any worse ... especially one coming from an Asian country with their gleaming new infrastructure. It's not as though it can't be done (nor cost a lot of $$$$$), but that Sydney Airports Corporation has decided to spend money only on what can directly generate income (ie retail and parking) but not those that indirectly benefit everyone else. [/end of rant]
In the city I got off at St James, the station with only stairs for access, lugged my suitcase up the stairs and walked to my bus stop at the Queen Victoria Building, hoping that I'd made the connection as my route runs on a 2-hour frequency during the morning. The 8:25am bus home was there within 2 minutes (how's that for timing?!), and 50-minutes later I walked into the house.
Such was the sleep deprivation that I spent all day sleeping ... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The Verdict
If you had to fly SQ's A380 in Economy, go for Upper Deck at any cost - even if you can't get the seat you really wanted. It simply is another world compared to the Main Deck - there seems to be better crew/passenger ratio up there, service is faster, and there is a far cosier feel. That's on top of the extra storage bin for window seats and the much faster boarding and disembarkation processes. I actually wonder why SQ didn't opt for a premium economy class there instead of plain old Economy.
Singapore Airlines' service was simply superb and faultless on this flight. I would not hesitate to fly with them again. It was another good experience transiting Changi, too, even if it's getting extremely boring.
And the A380? My second flight confirmed my feelings from the first. It's quiet (babies notwithstanding) and it's different.
And that concludes my series of Trip Reports from my Asian trip. I really do appreciate the kind comments! Until next time ... Thanks very reading!

This is a long list, but every bit of it is insightful! Love it!
Some years ago, I put on writer's conferences at UC Irvine. One year, Theodore Sturgeon was one of our visiting writers. He was a fascinating man and wonderful teacher. One of the students asked him about being a writer. he said, "A writer writes. A writer will always write. A writer will write in the pouring rain when all he has is his hands and wet cardboard." I really loved that statement.
He was also known, at least in the science fiction community, for Sturgeon's Law: "Ninety percent of [science fiction] is crap, but then, ninety percent of everything is crap."
The scotch and weed tip through me for a loop! LOL! Love single malt scotch! Cheers for an enlightening post!

Manisha recently posted..4 Things Writers Should Know About Design
I really connected with number 95, about socialising with other writers. I was talking with some serious writers recently at a workshop, and made the mistake of asking, "What's your real job?" The answer is, of course, "I'm a writer," as I understood after having received some frank feedback about my misconception. The question I should have asked in that context was "What's your day job?" which can be quite different to your real job. The group included a guy whose day job was "balloon pilot", but who was more excited about his real job as a writer, even though he's never made a cent from it (yet).
To read and stay focused trough the entire blog I think a lot of people might need a post on 'How to be a Reader'! Great post!

Very Nice and Useful tips..!! Thanks a lot…!!
Lots of great tips. Please explain #99, though – I can understand having a mentor (#100), but hiring someone else to write for you? How will this make you a better writer…?
Lots of good stuff in here. I keep a box with all my bits of paper in it…thoughts, charcater profiles and info that I need to reflect on regularly. I also have a map with pins suck in it to represent all of the characters current location. Whenever I'm writing I spread all of it out around me so that I can re-immerse myself into the story.
Thank you for this wonderful list!
– Write for 24 hours straight: What a great idea, I think this could be really awesome. This would be my next project.
– Write 15 minutes a day. Every day: I do this and it works. Try it, too!
– Write when you're tired: Especially in the morning, when the world is dark, writing becomes a kind of magic.
This is wonderful! I'm thrilled by the list and I'll surely start developing my writing skills.
I've got quite a number of issues to write on and this realy, is a motivator.
I am really impressed by the list you have produced. After I publishing my first novel called" Love journey from Delhi to Sydney" I felt very disheartened , because I hardly sold any copy.

Hi there, its fastidious post regarding media print, we all
know media is a fantastic source of data.
jual kaos polos murah recently posted..jual kaos polos murah
Great tips! Reading through – and please don't take this wrong, it's just how my brain works! – but did you notice that #158 and #162 are the same? When in doubt, cut it out.
To replace the duplicate, may I suggest this: "Don't edit while you write, or you'll never get anything written past a very polished page 1."
Love #154! Having someone you trust read your work is so important. You need feedback! #165 says proofread, and to me that only means checking grammar and punctuation, not evaluation and critique. Feedback is CRUCIAL!
I also love #149. That's why I'm writing now!

What is it?Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) involves the development of an individualised and comprehensive plan that parents and carers use to teach and encourage appropriate behaviour (to replace difficult behaviour).
Psychologists usually develop PBS support plans along with parents, teachers and others involved in the daily life of the child.
Who is it for?PBS is for anyone who shows difficult behaviours, including children with ASD. The approach can also be used with people with intellectual, learning, developmental and social difficulties.
What is it used for?
The main goal of PBS is to reduce difficult behaviour.
This is done by making difficult behaviour unnecessary by removing the things that trigger, encourage or reward that behaviour, and teaching children alternative, more appropriate behaviour.
Where does it come from?
PBS emerged in the 1980s, evolving from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Both PBS and ABA are based on 'learning theory', but PBS developed with a stronger focus on being family-centred.
What is the idea behind it?
PBS is based on learning theory, which says that most human behaviour is learned through our interaction with our environment.
The idea behind PBS is that all behaviour serves a purpose. Difficult behaviour can be reduced if we know what people are trying to achieve by behaving in a particular way. The approach aims to teach people to behave in more appropriate ways to get what they want.
Key features of the PBS approach are that the individualised plan is:
The PBS approach changes the environment in which a behaviour is occurring. At the same time, children might be taught more positive and socially appropriate ways of communicating and getting what they want (such as using their words or signs). This then makes the difficult behaviour ineffective or unnecessary and less likely to be repeated.
What does it involve?
PBS involves the development of a behavioural support plan for carers and children:
The child is also taught and encouraged to use new skills and alternative, appropriate ways of communicating with others and expressing wants and needs.
Cost considerations
PBS plans are implemented by carers in the child's natural environment, so there is no financial cost of implementing the plan. There will be a cost for developing the plan because this is done with a trained practitioner, usually a psychologist. This cost will vary depending on how long it takes to develop the plan, as well as the practitioner's qualifications.
Parents might be eligible to access a psychologist at a subsidised rate for a limited number of sessions through Medicare. The Australian Psychology Society (APS) provides information about psychology services available under Medicare. Some private health care funds might also cover a portion of the consultation fee. If the therapist has HICAPS, parents might be able to make a claim immediately.
Does it work?
PBS is supported by quality research. Reported positive changes include improved school performance, making requests appropriately, and giving or sharing information.
Other found improvements include:
As with all types of behavioural intervention, outcomes can be influenced by whether the intervention is consistently and accurately implemented.
Who practises this method?
Psychologists and other professionals who are trained in PBS are able to develop PBS interventions and support carers in implementing them.
Parent education, training, support and involvement
Parental involvement is essential to this approach. Parents are central to the collaborative team who work together to develop the PBS support plan, and practitioners should provide parents with training in implementing the plan. They should also give parents information about – and support for – responding to difficult circumstances in appropriate ways.
Parents continue to be responsible for implementing the PBS plan at home and play an active role in providing feedback to the team about their child's progress.
Where can I find a practitioner?
The Australian Psychological Society (APS) is the national association for psychologists – it provides a service to help people find a psychologist. Note that membership of the APS is not compulsory, and not all psychologists are listed on the APS database.

With Mid-Penn Conference divisional races steaming at a full boil -- yet soon to arrive at a sudden close -- here's a quick glance at where things stand, who everyone has left and what needs to happen to crown a champion.
While Gettysburg secured a share of the Colonial Division championship Tuesday night by winning at James Buchanan, Jeff Bair's Warriors still have work to do to claim the Colonial crown and play in the Mid-Penn's four-team tournament (Feb. 12 & 14).
Eleven Mid-Penn sides remain mathematically alive for divisional championships -- some have strong hopes, while others are just clinging by the numbers -- with less than two weeks to go in the regular season.
Remember: Should two or more teams tie for their respective divisional championship, a playoff game(s) will be held to determine which club advances to Mid-Penn tournament play.
So stay tuned.
Only Harrisburg (16-1, 11-0) and State College (12-4, 9-2) remain in the chase for the Commonwealth crown -- and the Cougars (at CD East, at State College, Chambersburg) can end all the drama with a road win Thursday night against Marty Hasenfuss' East High Panthers.
State College (at Mifflin County, Harrisburg, at Cumberland Valley) was sitting one game behind Harrisburg, but Drew Frank's Little Lions lost in overtime Tuesday night at Chambersburg.
Although Susquehanna Twp. (17-1, 11-1) owns a sizable lead in the Keystone's title pursuit -- the Indians' magic number is two -- Trinity (12-3, 8-3), Palmyra (12-5, 7-4), Lower Dauphin (11-6, 7-5) and Bishop McDevitt (11-5, 7-5) remain in the hunt.
Should Susquehanna win tonight (at Red Land, Palmyra, Mechanicsburg, at Trinity), Lower Dauphin (at Hershey, at Palmyra, Cedar Cliff, at Mechanicsburg) and McDevitt (Palmyra, Trinity, at Mechanicsburg, Red Land) are out.
If Palmyra (at McDevitt, Lower Dauphin, at Susquehanna Twp, Trinity, at Hershey) loses tonight and Susquehanna wins, the Cougars are out as well.
Trinity (Mechanicsburg, at McDevitt, Red Land, at Palmyra, Susquehanna Twp) has a chance, but the Shamrocks must win at least three of their next four and hope Vince Rogers' Tribe drops three league games in a row.
Not likely, but should that happen an all-or-nothing scrap between Trinity and Susquehanna -- at Trinity -- would take place on Feb. 4.
Just a two-team race between Steel-High (13-2, 10-0) and Milton Hershey (11-5, 10-1), but ... obviously, nothing's settled.
Should the Rollers win tonight (Camp Hill, at Milton Hershey, at Middletown, East Pennsboro), Tramayne Hawthorne's streaking side will carry a one-game lead into the Spartan Center Friday night for Round 2 with Milton Hershey.
Mark Zerbe's Spartans (Steel-High, Northern, at West Perry), who pulled within a half-game of Steel-High by winning Tuesday night at Susquenita, have won six of seven since losing 66-62 in late December at the Roller Pit.
Steel-High will carry a 13-game winning streak into tonight's locally televised game against visiting Camp Hill.
Although the Colonial may be the clearest divisional race going -- the Commonwealth lost much of its cloud cover on Tuesday night -- it's only because Gettysburg (15-4, 10-0) sports a working margin over second-place Greencastle-Antrim (13-3, 7-2).
All Gettysburg (Boiling Springs, Big Spring) must do to lock up the Colonial crown and advance to the Mid-Penn tournament is win Friday night or Tuesday night at home. Since Tuesday's scrap with Big Spring will be the Warriors' regular-season finale, Bair's group may welcome a Mid-Penn tournament date -- just so they don't sit idle until the District 3-AAA playoffs begin.
Greencastle (Shippensburg, James Buchanan, at Big Spring) must win out, while hoping Gettysburg loses out, just to forge a tie and a playoff.
As for the Tri-Valley League, which will continue to hold regular-season contests following District 3's cutoff date (Feb. 6) for inclusion in the power rankings, we'll take a look at that nine-team circuit next week.
Greenwood holds a sizable lead over East Juniata, but the Wildcats still have work to do to secure their fifth consecutive league title.

John Denson
Created by Richard Hoyt
Consider this a touch of Gonzo-lite. Or maybe a New Age Northwest reincarnation of Shell Scott.
Seattle's JOHN DENSON definitely marches to the tune of a different drummer. Denson's a thirty-something Aquarius with a yen for darts, cheap screw-top wine and raw vegetables, especially cauliflower. And he's not adverse to a little bit of good ol' sex, either, although he does spare us the slo-mo replays. He's an earthy type, crude, but not rude, given to sometimes erratic behaviour, but loyal to his friends. He's been known to wear bright yellow boxer shorts with a smoking, very long-barrelled gun on front. He keeps a stuffed English pitbull in his apartment who answers the doorbell with pre-recorded barks. At last, a private eye who's not ashamed of having a good time! A nice change of pace from the usual gloom and doom.
Not that there isn't some pretty dark humour in hewre, among all the whimsy, mind you. The Siskiyou Two Step (1983, for example, opens with Denson riding the very naked -- and very dead -- body of a young woman down an Oregon rapids. Now that's not something you see every day...
Denson pals around with, and accasionally enlists the aid of drinking buddy and darts partner Willie Prettybird, a rather sizable Cowlitz Indian who claims to receive messages from animal spirits. John cheerfully refers to him as "Chief Dumbshit."
Denson doesn't like guns, and he tools around town in battered heaps, generally an ancient Fiat, or sometimes an old VW van. He's got a rather murky background in the CIA, as well as a stint as a journalist in Honolulu, and later Seattle. When the Seattle paper was bought out by a large chain "with their efficiency experts, barborous little bastards in pin-striped suits" who got "rid of the fun," he chucked it to become a private eye.
He's got a rep as "a good detective...but quirky." He only takes on cases that interest him, and he doesn't have much use for pretentiousness or the status quo.
It's a long-running series, and one you you should never quite count out. Unlike Roger Simon's Moses Wine, a similar former hippie eye, Denson is defiantly unrepentant. In 2003, after an absence of eight years, he returned in the New Age-ish The Weatherman's Daughters, still pretty much the same. Oh, sure, he's relocated to the northwest corner of Oregon, but otherwise he's still pony-tailed and horny, still partial to pot, cheap wine and Carlos Castaneda, and still palling around with Willie. As he puts it in Siskiyou, "all that really matters are friends, good times, a full belly, a little screw-top, and a lay now and then--not necessarily in that order."

the Bank Honor Roll out of nearly 400 banks
screened by KBW. Monarch is one of only three
Virginia-based banks on the list, and one of only
two Virginia-based banks winning the award
the past two years in a row. It was also the only
bank located in the Hampton Roads market to
garner this performance-based recognition.
Honor Roll winners are publicly traded
banking institutions with more than
$500 million in total assets that meet KBW's
criteria for superior performance.
"Superior" Five-star Rating Award:
Over the last eleven quarters, since September 2009, Monarch has received
the highest five (5) star rating from Bauer Financial, the nation's leading independent
bank rating and research firm. Five stars is defined as Superior based on capital rating
with safety and soundness in mind.
Can't wait for the next earnings release!
accolades galore........
In my opinion, MNRK is the best buyout target for a company that's looking to get a footprint in this region.

is this just rankings for this year? or are they for their career. if its only for the year, remember alot of teams didnt play all their matches so teams that only had 2 or 3 games that weekend wont be scored as high as teams that played more, also teams dont play every player every point so players that sat out for matches or didnt get any "kills" that match wont be scored high as well. but that only applies if these stats are for this psp season. so I could be completly wrong here.

MARQUETTE - What appeared to be a rout in the making turned out to be a nail-biter for the Marquette Senior High School football team Friday night.
Leading Traverse City Central 14-0 in the first quarter and 21-0 at the half, the Redmen wound up having to fight off the Trojans, 31-23, in the season-opening game for both schools.
Marquette senior quarterback Brett Place completed 11 of 18 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns. His favorite target was senior wide receiver Kurt Burmeister, who caught seven passes for 151 yards and two scores.

"It was a total team effort and I'm excited for the guys in getting their first win of the season," MSHS head coach Dave L'Huillier said. "It was really important to come out fast."
The Redmen scored twice in the first quarter, with Burmeister catching TD passes of 39 and 31 yards on the same called play.
"It was a bench fade and I ran it both times. I got a free outside lane on both," Burmeister said. "(Brett and I) just started clicking.

"I've been working hard all summer on my routes and timing after blowing out a knee last season."
Said Trojans' head coach Tom Passinault: "When you have a good quarterback and a good receiver at the high school level, they're difficult to stop. We don't have the time to prepare the defensive backfield like colleges and the pros.
"To their credit, those two kids really tore us up."
A 46-yard interception return by Brett Beauchamp helped the Redmen make it 21-0 at the half when Place went over from the two just three plays later.
"In the first half, we played some crisp football," L'Huillier said. "We took care of the ball.
"But in the second half, we didn't. We fumbled twice early and lost both."
The Trojans capitalized, scoring on a 6-yard pass from QB Sean Williams to wide receiver Zach Egbert, then getting a 40-yard field goal from Jake Gorter when the MSHS defense stiffened.
MSHS senior tight end Gabe Apple caught an 11-yard TD pass from Place to make it 28-10.
But on the first play from scrimmage that followed as Ethan Campbell raced 68 yards for a score to cut the TC Central deficit to 28-16.
Max Bednarek nailed a 27-yard field goal to give the Redmen a seemingly safe 31-16 lead with 4:48 remaining.
The Trojans wouldn't quit, however. Anthony Kratovil ran back the kickoff some 50 yards and Campbell - after runs of 15 and eight yards - scooted 6 yards for a TD to make it 31-23.
The latter finished with 123 yards rushing on 13 carries.
"Some of our running plays worked when (Marquette) got gassed," Passinault said. "Marquette certainly deserved to win the game, but we competed. I'm proud of the boys, but disappointed in the loss."
The Trojans got one last chance to tie the score, getting the ball at their own 31 with 2:23 left. But after gaining eight yards on two runs, TC Central failed to complete two passes to lose the ball on downs.
"The defense stepped up," L'Huillier said, noting senior linebacker Shane Duquette led the Redmen with 12 tackles to go along with 1 1/2 sacks. Senior linebacker Apple added nine tackles and senior linebacker Larry Burnette chipped in 2 1/2 sacks.
"There were some huge stops by the defense in the first half, but in the second, our offense put the defense in some bad situations.
"We have to shore up our running game, but we spread the ball to five different receivers.," L'Huillier added. "And the offensive line did a good job in pass protection."

Maybe it's Karma. What goes around comes around. If you think it, it will happen. I'm not a suspicious person; black cats run across my path on a weekly basis. But as of late, things just don't seem to be going as planned.
Thinking back, it all began after I wrote about Wal Mart and their Christmas competing with Halloween. I imagine the Ho Ho music, which is delightful and perfectly appropriate for Christmas (when Christmas is a couple weeks away) eventually transforms into a diabolical torture technique, driving workers (and Bah Humbugs such as I) to the edge of madness.
I assume this to be the reason behind the incessant beat of Jingle Bells that has infiltrated my head, tapping its steady rhythmic pattern, which is about as pleasant as kissing a hot poker.
When November rolled around, I shared with my office crew my opinion about pre-season jolly jingle tunes. Of course I have no say in what one can play at her desk (I'm certain some of my co-workers would rather be spared an afternoon of my Patsy Cline and Conway Twitty tunes) but Melissa (who sits at the front desk and 20 feet from my office) - bless her heart - gently warned me that Fa-La-La-La-La would be launching the day after Thanksgiving. Thank you for the warning...
Speaking of madness: Men seem to know everything. I've been tying stuff to the top of my car for years. I am proud to say I've never lost a single plastic kiddy pool or mattress. I've even battened down a few Christmas trees for the long haul so when the gentlemen blew me off after I suggested weaving the rope through and around the trunk of a beautiful Frasier Fur, I stepped back and let 'em have at it.
We made it one mile south on Highway 52. In horror, I watched the rearview mirror fill with green needles flailing about like tiny helpless arms. Before I could stop, my prized specimen had performed a swan dive off the back of the car. It met the pavement about as softly as a torpedo barreling into the side of a battle ship. It completed a few rolls before coming to a stop in the middle of the highway - into oncoming traffic.
Waving off would-be helpful motorists, we reach the lifeless mess and pulled it to saftey. Because of its size (and I wasn't about to hoist that sucker back on top of the car for round two), we abandoned our tattered road-rash-ridden evergreen with the newly split trunk until suitable transport (a pick up) could be located.
Was this Karma at work? Did my attitude lead to this unpleasant circumstance? Was my destiny determined by my previous actions? Maybe I've been too rough on the holiday thing. Maybe the madness isn't the music, or the ornaments, or the complete lack of common sense when securing a tree to a vehicle. Maybe it's time for me to embrace the holiday season two months ahead of schedule. If anything, I'd have plenty of time to marinate my rum-laced fruit cake and even memorize "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". Did somebody steal my Bah Humbug hat?

No. 4 vs. No. 6 - good job voters.
The Saginaw Arthur Hill-Saginaw High boys basketball Class A district final in Owosso was a convincing winner in our MLive.com Game of the Week statewide poll.
And we couldn't hand-pick a better game. Arthur Hill is ranked fourth in the final Associated Press poll released this week, while defending state champion Saginaw is No. 6.
The game led our poll most of the way and really took off during when the matchup was confirmed by Wednesday's semifinals. The game finished with 517 of 1,814 votes, or 23.0 percent.
The Class A matchup between Fenton and Grand Blance was second with 286 votes, or 15.8 percent - followed closely by the Hamilton-Hudsonville Unity Christian game with 280 votes, or 15.4 percent.
Our statewide poll started Monday, asking voters to select one of 10 district finals that won our final regional MLive.com Game of the Week polls of the basketball season.
The poll victory means the live chat for the 7 p.m. Arthur Hill-Saginaw game by the Saginaw News sports staff, will now get maximum exposure on our high school home page thoughout the night.
We'd all like to drive up to Owosso High School ourselves to watch this one. Both teams have 19-3 records and the lowest victory margin in their romps through this districts so far is 19 points.
The teams split during the regular season, and Hugh Bernreuter of the Saginaw News writes that the winner expects to have long run through the playoffs.
Here are all of the poll results:
Our improved phone apps, iPhone and Android, will let you join those chats from the field, as well as keep up with all of our scores. We'll be updating scores for these games, and many more statewide, every night there is action this fall.
We thank you for all the voting - in this poll, and all season.
This Saginaw-Arthur Hill vote was the biggest of the season for our statewide poll - and it might be the best game yet.

text: Well after the second Brown decision, the question came up as what the proper roll of the federal government was going to be in the enforcement, although the primary enforcement was left to the federal courts, therefore the justice department undertook and made a study of uh the, to find out what the precedence in this regard had been as to when and how the federal government could intervene when there was a dispute with local authorities over the, enforcement of a court decision. We found out there was there were two things that were necessary for the federal government to intervene and to have its action upheld by the Supreme Court. One was that the local authorities must ask for, for help and the other was that there should be um, widespread rioting or imminence of widespread rioting. Those two things had to uh, coincide. Uh, there had been, then there were sporadic uh, eruptions around the country before Little Rock, a number of cases where both of these conditions were not met. Little Rock in our opinion was the first place where the conditions were fully met, and uh, it made a good test case to prove that the federal government was supreme in this area. And of course the Little Rock case went up to the Supreme Court uh, and the uh Supreme Court upheld the opinion of the uh, Justice Department The, uh, after the Brown decision uh, we asked the FBI to run a continuing study as to what uh, the local conditions were in various trouble spots. And uh to find out whether there was any organized resistance uh, which uh, would lead to real trouble. And the FBI made such a study and uh, they found that in several spots there were local groups which were, actually organizing opposition to compliance with the uh, Brown decision. This was completed by the time of Little Rock. As a matter of fact there was another case in Arkansas, Hoxie, Arkansas, which was in the courts just before the Little Rock case and we presented that evidence to the Judge in the Case when he asked us to appear as a friend of the court in deciding the constitutional uh, question of uh whether the uh Brown decision flatly prohibited segregation in the public schools. At Little Rock we, had the benefit of the special FBI surveillance team there uh, throughout the days leading up to the crisis. And uh, the substance of our information was given to Governor Faubus, uh, although not publicized at the time so that he was aware of uh, the fact that the federal government had the power to intervene if the local authorities requested it and if there was uh actual violence.

Dee Atkins has been retired from the Savannah River Site for more than a decade, and said one of the main issues she faces as a retiree is getting access to her benefit money held by WageWorks a contractor hired to disperse benefits.
Atkins was one of more than 400 retirees in attendance at the SRS Retirees Association annual meeting on April 15 at the USC Aiken Etherredge Center. The association or the SRSRA spoke about the issues retirees face.
We have to apply to get that money back on our health premiums and other medical expenses, Atkins explained. You have to go through paperwork and certain procedures to get that money back, instead of us having a debit card or something like that we can use.
Retirees and SRS Retirees Association chair John Plodinec also addressed the issue. Plodinec said that a 75-year-old retiree shouldnt have to go through such a complex process to receive benefits.
He said two other main issues are affecting SRS retirees: Pension and medical benefits.
Pension has not been adjusted since 2002, and the purchasing power for our pension has gone down by 30 percent, he said. The old, the poor and the sick are all feeling it.
Plodinec said the group is looking to get a pension adjustment that will be targeted toward a flat-dollar amount. The amount would reward a retiree based on the number of years worked at the Site.
With medical benefits, he said retirees who are taking expensive medications are having to pay for them out of pocket.
Theyre literally paying thousands of dollars for their drugs. And so theyre faced with that uneasy choice of saying, Housing, food, medical ... what do I pay for? So were working to make adjustments and also help people use what they are getting a little better, Plodinec said.
The workload in front of them, he added, will include working with both the Site and Department of Energy headquarters in Washington, D.C.
On behalf of SRS, Site manager Dave Moody also spoke during the meeting. Moody applauded the retirees initiatives and said both the Site and members of the SRSRA are working to help improve the situation.
These are your benefits, and we want you to contribute to how we make this better, Moody said. We know there will be some things that we cant do, but well work to help you so we can both help each other.
He added, You created one of the safest Sites in the DOE complex, and for that, we owe you. At the same time, we want you to help us grow the Site and be ambassadors for SRS.

Last night I missed the first 47 minutes of American Idol because I recorded the show from the local Fox affiliate and I forgot I already had Smallville recording from the local WB affiliate at the same time slot.
There should be some warning if you are creating conflicting OTA timers.
As a computer programmer myself, I have to say I'm appalled at the level of QA and testing that went into this product.
If this level of testing was done on my projects, my project team would be fired quickly by about any client.
