To borrow a term from the baseball world, the Detroit Pistons hit a home run last year when they landed Andre Drummond with the ninth pick in the NBA Draft.
Now, Drummond will try to help them score again – this time in the NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday night in New York, , the Pistons announced today.
Drummond will represent the Pistons when the lottery drawing is held beginning at 8 p.m. in ESPN's studios in Time Square.
The Pistons are in line to pick seventh but could select higher as they've got a 3.6-percent of landing the No. 1 pick, a 4.16-percent chance at No.2 and a 4.91-percent chance at No. 3.
This is the third straight year the Pistons have had a lottery pick. They took Greg Monroe with the seventh pick in 2010 and Brandon Knight with the eighth pick in 2011.
Knight represented them at last year's lottery.

MOBILE, Alabama – The former superintendent of Prichard's sewer system has settled state and federal lawsuits with the utility.
Neither side disclosed the terms of the settlement.
Paul David, who lost his job more than two years ago when the utility decided to hire a private company to manage day-to-day operations, won a $275,000 judgment in Mobile County Circuit Court in May. Judge Lockett also ordered he board to reinstate him to his old $101,109-a-year job.
A separate racial discrimination lawsuit was making its way through federal court; David alleged that board members fired him because he is white. In addition, attorneys for the board had filed post-judgment motions in hopes of changing the ruling in the state court case.
"Now all of that stuff … everything has been dealt with," said Henry Brewster, an attorney for David.
Scott Hetrick, an attorney for the Prichard Water Works and Sewer Board, declined to comment.
David presided over the water and sewer system during one of the largest sewage spills in state history when an unreported and unrepaired leak flowed for weeks in 2003, spewing up to 30 million gallons, by some estimates, into a swampy section of Whistler.
Pollutants eventually reached the streams that empty into Mobile Bay.
A Mobile County District Court judge found David guilty of discharging pollution in public waters without a permit and fined him $3,000.
He appealed to Mobile County Circuit Court, and before a jury trial on the matter in 2007, the Mobile Count District Attorney's Office offered him a deal. According to terms of that agreement, the charge was dismissed after Paul had managed the utility for a period of time without incident.
The spill, though, appears not to have been a factor in the board's decision to hand over operations to a British firm called Severn Trent, and attorneys for the utility never raised it as a defense in the employment or discrimination cases.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

CHISHOLM, MN (Northland's NewsCenter)---The Iron Range man who allegedly went on a shooting spree at a Chisholm bar in 2010 killing one man and wounding two others appeared in court today for a pre-trial hearing.
A criminal complaint states 48-year-old Jason Musburger walked into the Jim Sports Bar and Grill in 2010 and opened fire.
Ed Walberg was shot to death, while Cale Nelson and Larry Elj were both wounded.
Musburger is charged with three counts of first degree per-mediated murder and one count of second degree murder.
He also faces charges of stalking and violation of a restraining order involving his ex-wife.
Musburger will go on trial March 19.

Jackson County schools are preparing to release the latest round of their students' Michigan Educational Assessment Program test scores.
It's safe to say that they're not going to look like any scores parents have seen before.
While the state Department of Education hasn't said yet when it will release the MEAP scores to the public, they have been released to the schools. Local superintendents estimate the number of students scoring "proficient" this year will decrease by 50 percent or more.
It's not due to a change in the test, it's due to a change from the Michigan Board of Education in the "cut scores" or the cut-off point between what it has determined is proficient and not proficient.
"They are drastic, drastic changes," said Scott Koziol, superintendent of the Michigan Center School District.
People won't likely see scores of 80 or 90 this year, Koziol said. In some cases, it could be more like scores of around 40, he said.
"You have to put it into perspective," Koziol said. "A score of 39 this year does not mean the same thing that a score of 39 did in previous years. The levels of proficiency have changed."
The state's goal in raising the bar on the cut scores is to give parents and students a better idea of the student's readiness for college and to eventually increase the number of students who are adequately prepared for college or a career in a global economy.
The Jackson County Intermediate School District is helping local districts convert their past scores to the current standards so they can accurately compare this year's scores to previous year's results and determine what areas need improvement, said Susan Townsend, director of learning services.
The same kind of lower results are also expected when scores for the Michigan Merit Exam are released later this year.
All public school students in third through ninth grades are required to take the annual MEAP test, which covers math, reading, writing, science and social studies. High school juniors take the MME, which covers reading, writing, math, science and social studies.
"We followed the rules given by the state and are looking at this as a baseline for us," said Randy Cook, Springport Public Schools superintendent. "We'll continue to look at what we can do to get better just like we always have."
This is the second time in six years that cut scores have changed for the MEAP and the second time in four years they have changed for the MME.
And don't get too used to this new way of scoring either. The state has said it will completely change its standardized student tests in two years by dropping the MEAP in favor of a national assessment test.

Hide lines
I arrived at the station half an hour early for my train, turning up at about 22:50. They ask you arrive an hour early but that�s overkill for a station midway along the line. I sat on my rucksack and listened to my music. It was a pleasantly night and I didn�t mind waiting.... for a while. An hour past and the train was now half an hour late. Another hour and I began becoming a bit impatient.
Most of the other people waiting on the platform had had enough of the crappy facilities in the station and started to cross the line and amble into two abandoned carriages shunted into the side, presumably because it was slightly more comfortable.
I waited another hour and a half before the train decided to amble along. Three and a half hours of worrying about my night ahead with my 2nd class ticket. What will the seats be like? Am I going to get all my stuff stolen? I seriously considered just leaving the station and trying for a better ticket another day, but I�d probably just find myself in the same situation again, so what would be the point.
Now the real fun and games started. I couldn�t find my carriage, it just wasn�t there. I looked up and down the train but couldn�t find it. Time was ticking away and the rail workers looked harrased as they tried to get the train away as quick as possible, obviously someone else further up the track hadn�t been doing their job.
I grabbed one of them and told him my carriage wasn�t there, he took hold of my ticket and ran to the back of the train. I had to trot after him with my 20Kg rucksack weighing me down. He got to the end of the train and looked confused as well, after further discussions he told me to get on the currently last carriage and wait, two more were being added at this station. It then dawned on me that the other passengers had actually known what was going to happen and had all been grabbing the best seats in the apparently abandoned carriages.
I climbed on and waited. I stood watching a strange damp patch outside the door realising the it had been caused by loads of people using the toilet while the train is stationary, maybe they don�t like getting shook around in there? The smell of the urine hung in the air and it�s a smell that I�ve had to get used to around here, in Sucre and during the Carnival in Oruro. The locals don�t seem to mind it and happily stand in the damp earth and drag part of it onto the train on the bottom of their feet. I kept my rucksack on my back during this, I wasn�t putting it down on this floor.
Now, what happened next has got to be my number one contestant for "The Most Disgusting Thing I Saw On My Trip" category. I�d been chatting with a few friendly locals while waiting for the train to move, I�d seen a couple of guys finishing of a chicken meal that they must have bought when the train first stopped. One of them got out his chair and came out to where I was been standing, he then spotted a thread on the floor. He looked really pleased with himself as he picked it up and then proceeded to use it as dental floss to extract that pesky bit of chicken stuck in his teeth. Don�t forget about the state of the train floor with regards to the toilet. Pass me the sick bag!
While all this had been going on a particularly unkempt but really friendly guy had jumped from the train and checked that my carriage actually wasn�t attached to the train afterall. He managed to climb back on as the train was moving off, out of breath after his little jaunt. We moved a little while and then the two spare carriages were shunted on, he then followed me from where I was onto to my carriage, having to give me a helpful push as I struggled up the big step with my backpack. He then followed me to my seat and helped my store it above the seats. I gave him a big thanks and he shuffled off. I was a little worried though, I couldn�t get it out of my mind that perhaps he was just checking me out and my stuff.
I was actually quite worried since the value of my baggage would more than likely be worth way more than the others here. I decided to stay awake and keep watch. Of course it�s not that simple, and withing half an hour I was snoring away, it was after 2AM afterall. I woke up a few hours later, really concered with my bag, and sure enough, it was still there. The journey was actually quite comfortable, there was plenty of spare seats so I was able to lie down a little bit and everyone was really friendly. Nothing to worry about in the end. We arrived in Santa Cruz an extra hour late, and I hopped in a taxi and to the guest house that I�d left just over a week before.
I�m afraid that this entry is just about the story of getting to Santa Cruz. I only stayed for a day and a half, during this time I just rested and did some necessary but boring tasks, such as updating travelpod and washing my clothes. I hope you liked the train story though!

Who: Portland vs. Kamloops
What: Game 6 Western Conference semifinals (Portland leads best-of-seven series 3-2)
Where: Interior Savings Centre, Kamloops, British Columbia
When: 7 p.m. Monday
Series notes: Kamloops is looking to avoid elimination for the third time in six days and force the series back to Portland for a Game 7 on Wednesday at Veteran Memorial Coliseum. Trailing 3-0 in the series, the Blazers rallied from a 4-0 deficit in Game 4 to win 5-4 in Kamloops and then rolled to a 7-2 victory in Game 5 Saturday at the Rose Garden. "Kamloops is starting to get back in the series and now the pressure shifts to them a little bit," Portland general manager and head coach Mike Johnston said after Saturday's game. "We're going on the road and I look forward to real good, quality road game. We still have to get better in a couple areas and that's going to be a critical game up there."
Portland forward Oliver Gabriel returns to the lineup after serving a four-game suspension for his hit on Kamloops goalie Cole Cheveldave late in the third period of the series opener. Cheveldave remains sidelined while recovering from concussion-like symptoms. … In the last four games, Blazers back-up goalie Cam Lanigan has gone 2-2 and stopped 115 of 129 shots, posting a 3.55 goals-against average with an .891 save percentage.
Portland right wing Ty Rattie, who has a league-high 13 goals and 21 points after nine playoff games, was a late addition to the Game 5 lineup after he left Game 4 midway through the first period with a neck injury. "I didn't think Ty was as sharp as he usually is," Johnston said. "There were parts of the game when I thought he looked like himself. Other parts, I didn't think he was as sharp. Coming off an injury like that, you knew he wouldn't be 100 percent, but he did generate a couple chances, and that's what you look for him to do -– generate those chances."
(Update) Kamloops forward J.C. Lipon, who was suspended by the league before Game 5 for the hit that knocked Rattie out of Game 4, is eligible to return for Monday's game after the WHL announced Sunday afternoon that his suspension would be limited to one game. … The Winterhawks are a win away from advancing to the West finals for the second consecutive season and the 15th time in franchise history, while Kamloops is hoping to reach the conference finals for the first time since the 1998-99 season. "Going to the (WHL) Finals last year, that's really going to help," said Rattie, looking ahead to Game 6. "We're facing a little adversity right now, but good playoff teams come back from that."
The Winterhawks, who had the WHL's top power play during the regular season, went 0 for 5 with the man-advantage Saturday and have failed to score in 13 consecutive power plays over the last three games. "You have to look at chances," Johnston said. "We had three back-door plays and the goaltender made phenomenal saves. We missed some outstanding chances. Sometimes with the power play you can over-examine it, because of goals. I know it's going to be a threat."
This is only the second time in the last five seasons that a series has gone to a Game 6 after one team opened a 3-0 lead. "After the collapse we had in Game 4, we gave them momentum, and right now they want it more than us," Winterhawks captain William Wrenn said after Game 5. "We've got to regroup. Everyone has to look inside themselves –- as cliché as it sounds -– and be ready to go Monday. It's do or die for them right now over there. They know it, and they're playing like it on the ice. And we're not there right now. We've got to work harder. It's as easy as that. Hopefully, all the guys get it into their heads and when we go up to Kamloops we're ready to go."

BAY CITY, MI — Blues musician Larry McCray sails away on the Princess Wenonah for a "good time with his hometown friends," said Magnolia Entertainment Manager Paul Koch.
Michigan Blues Society's Saginaw River Blues Cruise is set for Thursday, Aug. 29. Boarding begins at 5:30 p.m. with departure at 6:00 p.m. and returning at 10:00 p.m. Tickets cost $30.
"Larry is the Blues king of Michigan," said Koch. "He earned that by his live performances."
McCray was the first artist signed by Virgin Records' blues division, Pointblank Records, when he debuted with the album, "Ambition," in 1990. He has released five albums since and is currently working on a new album called "Pure Michigan." The album should be available in the beginning of November.
"People around here know him on a first name base," Koch said.
McCray, a world-traveling blues-rock guitarist and singer, was raised in Saginaw. He performed in Saginaw's FirstMerit Bank Event Park during the Rock n' Rib event on Aug. 16.
The Michigan Blue Society is based in the Great Lakes Bay area, but Koch is hoping to expand its reach to all of Michigan. The society started about two to three years ago as a way to reach the Blues fans.
"As a promoter, I wanted to network with the Blues fans in the Great Lakes Region," he said. "I wanted to create a more personal connection with the fans and musicians."
The Princess Wenonah has not had a Blues Cruise in more than six years, so when the opportunity presented itself, Koch "decided to go ahead and have fun," he said.
Tickets are available by calling 989-327-0801 or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/432477

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Former smokers tell heartbreaking and painful stories of living with smoking-related diseases in ads released Thursday, March 28, in the second round of the national "Tips from Former Smokers" campaign.
The 12-week campaign by the Centers for Disease Control shows people dealing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma and complications from diabetes, such as blindness, kidney failure and amputation.
Some are quite shocking, such as the video of Brandon, who lost his foot, fingers and other body parts to Buerger's disease, one of the lesser-known disorders linked to smoking.
The campaign also includes videos of people who talk about how they quit smoking and the effect it had on their lives.
Nearly one in five U.S. adults smoke, despite its negative effects on nearly every organ of the body, the CDC says. When it rolled out the first phase of the campaign in spring 2012, there was a 132 percent increase in calls to the TIPS hotline. And the visits to a smoking cessation website more than quadrupled.
The first phase of the campaign cost $54 million, which the CDC notes is the equivalent of what cigarette manufacturers spend on advertising and promotion in two days.
For more information about the campaign and CDC tips on quitting, go to the CDC website.
Readers, do you think the ads are effective? Are they worth the cost? If you are a smoker, do you think they will help you quit?

Teenager earns judge's praise
An Altoona teenager who eight months ago faced a possible trial in adult court and a state prison sentence for assault and gun violence has graduated from high school and is preparing for college, according to Blair County President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva.
The juvenile, 17, has spent the last eight months at a private, nonprofit juvenile treatment facility, George Junior Republic in Grove City, after he fired a gun through a sliding glass door into the kitchen of a home, nearly striking one of the occupants, and set up another youth for a beating by others. He has previous juvenile offenses.
After a lengthy hearing Wednesday, the judge suspended the 17-year-old's commitment to George Junior and indicated he could resume living with his mother.
The judge urged juvenile probation officers and others involved with the youngster's life "to get creative" in helping him transition from the treatment facility to life as a student at Delaware County Community College in Media.
While the teen is being set free, it comes with plenty of conditions.
He will be required to have a job and to prepare a list of his victims, including police officers and sheriff's deputies, with whom he had run-ins and to personally apologize to each for his crimes.
Kopriva warned him that not everybody would be ready to accept his apology, but she said it would be a start in his transition to being a college student.
George Junior will provide some money toward his college, and a representative of the facility said it had an aftercare program that would help him adjust.
That aftercare would include help to find a place to live and get settled into his new environment.
The teenager will also be under the supervision of the Delaware County Juvenile Probation Office when he is at school and under watch by Cathy Dickinson, a Blair County probation officer, when he is at home.
Dickinson has been a believer in the young man since he entered the juvenile system, despite the many criminal charges against him.
Her faith in the boy remains strong after his court hearing this week.
She said she went to George Junior to see him play basketball and met with him the next day. He showed her his acceptance letter to college, and he shed a tear as he told her, "Imagine that. I'm going to college."
"That was such a profound moment," she said.
Dickinson said he started a job Thursday and began writing his apology letters, which will be turned over the the Blair County victim-witness coordinator for distribution.
Aside from the judge's requirements, the 17-year-old will be like any other college student – preparing to move away from home and begin classes.
His high school graduation ceremony was May 31 in Grove City. His mother told the judge that 14 members of the family attended.
"I am ready to prove myself and work hard," the boy told the judge.
It was suspected, at one point, that the teenager was leading a gang, but his attorney, Brian Grabill, said after one of the many court appearances by the youth during the past year, that point was never proven.
Blair County District Attorney Richard A. Consiglio last year wanted the youth declared an adult because of his participation in the beating of another youngster and his use of a gun in a home shooting incident.
In the intervening months, representatives of George Junior said the boy had completed its programs to teach him how to cope with problems, including disappointment. A therapist said he has become "very stable" and "very controlled."
He also has been focused on school, it was reported.
He has been allowed to come home on several occasions, including a six-day pass. During the home visits, he kept close to his family and successfully completed the visits.
The boy sent a letter to Kopriva stating he wanted to "man up" and apologize to those who he harmed.
The judge asked him how he would handle a situation if confronted by one of his past victims. He said he would nod but would not fight.
If it came to possible violence, he said, he would walk away.
The boy will have to report regularly to the judge to relate how he is doing and explain what "challenges" he faces.
His mother told the judge she was proud of her son, and he told the judge, "My friends are my family."
Last summer the boy was one of two juveniles facing trial as adults, for crimes of violence. The crime sprees by the two boys were not related.
Blair County Judge Elizabeth Doyle held a series of hearings on both cases and decided the one boy, who was close to being 18 years old, would be tried as an adult for several robberies and for shooting into a house.
That teen was recently sent to a state correctional institution for five to 15 years.
An Altoona psychiatrist recommended that the younger boy be tried as a juvenile because he lacked the "sophistication" of an adult criminal, his acts being more impulsive.
Doyle decided that boy would be tried in juvenile court.
Kopriva said he faces a transition period as he prepares for college and she said the next few weeks will "test the skills he has developed."
Blair County Assistant District Attorney Deanne Paul represented the prosecution Wednesday, but Consiglio, who fought hard to have the youth placed in adult court, watched from the back of the courtroom.
He said he's not convinced that a boy who fired a shot into someone's home could turn around so quickly.
"I'm not buying that. … A guy doesn't turn around in a couple of months, he said.
He added he hoped he was wrong.
Dickinson said that tests showed the teen was low risk for reoffending, and she said teens who commit serious crime at age 16 and 17 have a recidivism rate of only 10 percent, meaning 90 percent are able to straighten out their lives.
She added the boy has undergone several types of therapy during his stay at George Junior.

Tales from the Treatment Rooms
Justice for Luis?
Ramirez's case is quite a complicated one. Some comments made on the roughcut
version of the film 'Tales
from the Treatment Rooms - The Luis Ramirez Story' by Punkvert and The
Treatment Rooms are that the viewers do not understand what Luis was supposed
to have done and why he should have been innocent. The makers of the film
also found this very complicated and for this reason kept explanations brief.
To understand the whole story, another film on Luis's court case, the US
Justice System and the effect race and poverty have on this (in)justice
would have had to be made.
Punkvert, the
makers of the film, decided to keep to the original focus - that of the relationship
between artist Carrie Reichardt and Luis and the subsequent art piece - the
Luis Ramirez memorial wall - situated in Chiswick, London and it's unveiling
on 18th June 2006 by Luis' family.
director Emma Blackwood, producers Punkvert ,The Treatment Rooms, artists,
family and people associated with Luis are of the opinion that whether guilty
or not, the Death Penalty is an inhumane sentence and should never be employed.

Baseball: Cedarcrest snaps Coupeville's win streak
The Coupeville High School baseball team's six-game win streak came to an abrupt halt Monday when first-place Cedarcrest defeated the visiting Wolves 10-0 in five innings Monday, April 19.
The Wolves (7-6, 9-6) committed eight infield errors and scratched out just one single in the loss to the state's defending 2A champions.
The Red Wolves, currently ranked third in the state 2A poll, slugged 12 hits (including three home runs) to run their record to 12-0 (12-1).
Coupeville coach Willie Smith called the game "the worst." He was frustrated that the Wolves' offense couldn't generate more than Alex McClain's infield single against a pitcher that didn't have one-hit stuff.
Seven of Cedarcrest's 10 runs were a result of the three home runs. Smith said, "That is what happens when you get the ball up."
Smith also pointed out that is what happens when pitchers are forced to throw "a lot more pitches" than they should because of eight errors.
The two teams meet Wednesday, April 21, at Coupeville at 4 p.m., then return to Cedarcrest Friday, April 23.

WASL scores are mixed but encouraging
Central Kitsap WASL scores are back ... and the results are mixed, though generally encouraging.
Results of the state-mandated Washington Assessment of Student Learning test are the most anxiously awaited results of all tests given to school kids nowadays.
The CK School District received preliminary scores two weeks ago, and presented final scores Sept. 9. The test is administered in the spring.
The state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) plans to make passing WASL mandatory for graduation by about 2008.
In the prelim results, there were some minor problems, said Linda Ellman, director of research and evaluation. A few kids were counted twice, and we had test results for kids from other districts accidentally mixed in with our results.
Compared to state scores, we made strong gains, said Janell Newman, executive director of curriculum and instruction.
Local students who performed the worst compared to the state were seventh-graders.
Other interesting findings:
Newman said 10th-graders lacked motivation to take the test. Many refused to participate, or would participate, but not answer open-ended (essay-style) questions.
Ninety-two percent of 10th-graders took the test. Ninety-seven percent of both fourth- and seventh-graders took the test. She said latest studies have shown WASL to be as good a predictor of college success as the more popular SAT the scores of which will be released next week.
We only found one-tenth percent difference in the two tests ability to predict success in college, she said.
There were sex differences, too, she added.
Generally, in reading and writing at all levels, girls outperform boys, she said. In math, boys generally outperform girls.
The district is adding several learning coaches or specialists in the grades and subjects suffering the lowest scores. This seems to work in other districts, said officials.
I think it takes a while for these seeds to germinate, said school board member Lee Ann Powers.
Here are the scores:
* Fourth-grade reading dropped slightly from 70 percentile to 68 percentile between 2001 and 2002. Math jumped from 45 percentile to 54 percentile. Writing went from 46 percentile to 47 percentile. Listening skills dropped from a high of 76 to 71.
(The term percentile is based on a national mean score of students who met the standard of a particular subject. The national mean is 50 percentile. Technically, this is not an average of scores, explained officials. A mean of 50 percentile indicates half of all students scored above 50 on the test and half were below.)
* Seventh-grade reading went from 41 to 44; math, 30 to 34; writing, 47 to 45; listening, 83 to 81.
* 10th-grade reading stayed at 72; math held at 45; writing jumped from 45 to 58; listening, 86 to 88 the highest score reported.
Comparisons to past WASLs:
* Between 1997 and 2002, fourth-graders went from 52 to 68 on reading; 26 to 54 on math; 32 to 47 on writing; 66 to 71 on listening.
* Between 1998 and 2002, seventh-graders went from 35 to 44 in reading; 22 to 34 in math; 28 to 45 in writing; 80 to 81 in listening.
* 10th-graders, 1999 and 2002, 59 to 72 reading; 41 to 45 math; 41 to 58 writing, 76 to 88 listening.
Other than seventh-grade listening skills, which remained virtually flat (and high), there has been mostly improvements. Higher grade levels did a little better than lower grades.
WASL results by school:
* Fourth-grade best reading score was Silver Ridge, 80 percentile; worst was Woodlands Elementary, 50. Best math, Silverdale Elementary, 67; worst, Cottonwood, 32. Best writing, Emerald Heights, 62; worst, Clear Creek, 40. Best listening, Emerald Heights, 85; worst, Woodlands, 49.
* Seventh-grade, best reading, Central Kitsap Junior High, 49; worst was a three-way tie between Fairview Junior High, Klahowya Secondary School and Ridgetop Junior High, 43. Best math, tied between CKHS and FVJH, 37; worst, KSS, 31, all very low. Best writing, tied between FVJH and KSS, 48; worst, RTJH, 41. Best listening, CKJH, 86; worst, KSS, 78.
* 10th-grade, best reading, CKHS, 77; worst, KSS, 69. Best math, CKHS, 52; worst, OHS, 43. Best writing, CKHS, 62; worst, OHS, 43. Best writing, CKHS, 62; worst, KSS, 46. Best listening, CKHS, 93; worst, KSS, 88.
CK vs. state:
* Fourth-grade reading, CK was 68, state was 66 percentile; CK math was 54, state was 52; writing, CK 47, state 50; listening, CK 71, state 66.
* Seventh-grade reading, CK 44, state 45; math, CK 34, State 30; writing, CK 45, state 53; listening, CK 81, state 84.
* Tenth-grade reading, CK 72, state 59; math, CK 45, state 37; writing, CK 58, state 54; listening, CK 88, state 82.
(Alternative school scores and off-campus home-schooled students were not included in the above break-down.)

Local woman sends care packages to troops
ARLINGTON Arlington resident Suzie Carter will send care packages to American troops in Iraq for the next two years, because thats how long her nephew will be stationed there.
Army 1st Lt. Colin LeBeau deployed with the 3rd Battalion Strike Brigade April 10, and has informed his aunt that hes lost three soldiers under his command since then. LeBeaus deployment in Iraq is expected to last approximately 600 days. Carter said shes been moved by his e-mail accounts of how much he and his troops have already dealt with.
Its sobering to me that theyre already used to mortar attacks and rocks going by, Carter said. He met an Iraqi man who sent his family to Syria so they would be safe. Colin worked to get this assignment. I asked him if he had a death wish, but he said he had to go where he belonged.
Inspired by her nephews e-mails, Carter sought to supply him and his troops with both necessities and conveniences, from snack food and recreational items to toiletries and clothing.
Ive sent off 37 boxes in the last two weeks, Carter said. The post office has been very generous about supplying assistance and flat-rate boxes. Each box still requires a 10-page customs form to be filled out, but theres no getting around that.
Carter explained that LeBeau questions detainees and took pride in the fact that he recently sent a big-time terrorist off to jail. She believes that other people need to thank American military members, as well.
You may not like the war, but you should still support our men and women who are over there, said Carter, who sees her care packages as one way of doing that. She singled out stores such as Staples and Costco for being especially helpful to her efforts.
All food items sent to service members must be prepackaged and separately sealed. Food items that might leak, and all liquid items, should be placed in zip-up plastic bags and bottle tops should be taped to make them more secure. Care packages should not include pork, pork products, alcohol or pornography. You should also not send pressurized items, since they may explode in transit, or products in glass containers. Do not send chocolate to the Middle East in the summer.
All troop mail should be sent via the U.S. Postal Service. Their Web site at http://www.usps.com includes more detailed information on sending mail to the troops. The Department of Defense does not accept mail addressed to any Service member.
Carter is still looking for donors, both among individuals and groups, as well as local businesses who would be willing to host collection boxes for care package supplies. You may contact her at 425-315-5709.

32 Iowa Conference titles
NORMAL, ILL.—Justin Livingston (senior, Winterset) shot 2-under-par at the 26-team Illinois Wesleyan Invitational to push the Central College men's golf team into ninth place after the first round Friday.
"We shot a below-average day," said coach Chad Green. "We didn't hit the ball too well. We just need to get the ball off the tee better."
Playing at the par-72 Ironwood Golf Course, the Dutch shot 304, just one shot behind No. 5 Nebraska Wesleyan and six shots behind No. 3 Illinois Wesleyan. No. 15 Wittenberg University (Ohio) sits in first place, 11 shots ahead of the Dutch. The only other Iowa Conference team in the tourney, Dubuque, is in 18th place at 316.
Livingston had two bogeys on the front nine, but fired a 35 on the back nine to finish at 76. He is tied for 13th place in the individual standings. Bryan Laraia (junior, Ankeny) started the front nine with a 36, but only shot a 40 on the back nine, tallying a 76 and tying for 33rd.
"Justin played really well in the back stretch and had an even 16 holes," Green said. "Bryan was the opposite and started out great on the front, but he ran into trouble on the backside. They both played decent today."
The remaining Dutch players tied. David Watson (sophomore, San Diego, Calif., Patrick Henry HS), Jon Prescott (sophomore, Mendota, Ill.) and Desmond Stoll (sophomore, Lockport, N.Y.) each shot 77 and are tied for 42nd.
"Tomorrow will be a totally different day," said Green. "We need to figure out how to put up a better score, especially with predicted high winds. It's going to be a tough day, but if we can hit the ball a little better, we can do well."
The final round of the Illinois Wesleyan tourney concludes Saturday.

LANSING — Police here are looking for a man who they say masqueraded as an officer of the law to hold a driver up at gunpoint.
Lansing police public information officer Robert Merritt said police were dispatched to the area of Pennsylvania Avenue and Lindbergh Drive about 10:50 p.m. Monday for a reported armed robbery. Officers arrived at the scene and located the victim, a 34-year-old Lansing man.
The victim told police he was driving north along Pennsylvania Avenue near Baker Street when he noticed a vehicle behind him with a flashing red light. Thinking he was being stopped by police, the man pulled over onto Lindbergh Drive.
The following vehicle pulled in behind him, the victim told police, and a man exited. The man approached the victim's driver-side window, pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded his wallet, according to Merritt.
The victim complied, also surrendering his cell phone and keys to his vehicle. The suspect instructed the man to walk away from his car as the suspect returned to his vehicle and drove off.
The victim was not injured in the incident.
"This is very rare," Merritt said. "For somebody to impersonate a cop, you just don't see it."
The suspect is described as a man between 25 and 35 years old, about 6 feet tall with a medium build, short black hair, and a medium-sized mustache and goatee. He was last seen wearing a white jersey top with green letters and blue jean pants, as well as a chain around his neck with a badge attached.
Merritt said the suspect was driving a dark-colored Chevy Impala, possibly a 2006 model. The vehicle had a red horizontal blinking light, about a foot long, on the middle of its dashboard. Merritt likened the light to the one from Kit in the 1980s TV show "Knight Rider."
In Michigan, impersonating a police officer in the commission of a crime is a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. Armed robbery, also a felony, is punishable by up to life imprisonment.
Merritt said Lansing police are on the lookout for a decommissioned police-style vehicle.
"I personally take offense to what this guy did last night," he said. "I took an oath 23 years ago to uphold the law and protect the citizens of Lansing, and when you get somebody out there who impersonates me as an officer and victimizes a citizen of Lansing, you take it real personally, and so do my coworkers.
"We take this seriously, but we take it a little bit more personally because this guy's impersonating one of us."
Lansing police issued the following information about official traffic stops:
- Official police vehicles are equipped with red and blue emergency lights
- Those emergency lights flash when activated
- Check if the supposed police officer is in an official police vehicle
- When being stopped, attempt to pull over into a well-lit location, like a gas station or convenience store
- Check if the supposed officer has a badge
- Check if the supposed officer is in a police uniform
- Ask for identification
- Call 911
Those with information on this incident are asked to call the Lansing Police Department's Crime Stoppers line at 517-483-STOP. Anonymous tips can also be sent to the department via text message at 847411. Begin the message with "LPD517," then text your tip.

The Sunday Times UK newspaper has deemed Rihanna as the next Princess Diana. They believe the similarities between pop diva Rihanna and the people's Princess are spot on. The publication shopped a pic of Rihanna and Princess Diana's face together for the cover, and offered up why this comparison can be a good and a bad thing.
On Loving The Media Attention:
Like Diana, Rihanna has worryingly drifted into using photo ops to send messages of allure, defiance, or revenge in a turbulent relationship with an errant partner…..Diana's anguished helplessness and isolation inside the royal family, with its stoical code of duty, led her to gravitate toward the ever-hovering paparazzi, whose global power as a media institution increased exponentially because of her popularity…
And their similar beginnings:
Diana and Rihanna began as sensitive, wounded, but appealingly bubbly and good-natured provincial girls who slowly discovered their own photogenic virtuosity and began to conceptualize themselves as living sculpture for the lens. Both developed a false intimacy with photographers and the public and began to cannibalize themselves in their futile search for security in love. Diana, rebuffed, eventually accepted her exile. But Rihanna, in the classic syndrome of the battered woman, still pities and hopes to change and save her abuser…
"Rihanna is in love with the camera, and the camera is in love with her. Not since Diana rocketed from a shy kindergarten aide to a lean, mean fashion machine has there been such a ravishingly seductive flirtation with the world press.
Like Diana, Rihanna has worryingly drifted into using photo ops to send messages of allure, defiance or revenge in a turbulent relationship with an errant partner. "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," Diana famously told the BBC's Martin Bashir about her frustrating inability to dislodge Charles's devotion to Camilla Parker Bowles, who would eventually become his second wife".

Clear drainage from ear (now both ears) (hashimoto's thyroiditis)
I've had this intermittent clear ear drainage problem for about a month.
It started after a cried for about 2 minutes a month ago.. the next morning
I noticed white globs of stuff in my right ear. I used a cotton swab to
clean out... then I noticed clear, foul smelling drainage.
This went on for a week, then went away. it came back, so I saw my doctor.
He prescribed Zephrex and Zithromax.. he said my ear drum was inflamed.
The doctor also said that I was congested.
Some greenish foul smelling junk was cleaned out of my left ear.
Now after that, and finishing my Zephrex and Zithromax, BOTH ears are
draining clear fluid, much worse now! In the day time I hardly notice it,
but at night time I wake up with both ears dripping fluid. The ear c****s
itch. There is no foul smelling stuff now.. just clear water draining from
both ears and the fluid is of a sticky consistancy. And now my nose runs
each morning also, plus now I have a sore throat.
What is going on with me?
fyi, I have been also diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in the past 2

Clear drainage from ear (now both ears)
How long was the script? If short duration it could have killed the
bugs making the green fluid but there may be anaerobic bugs causing
the inflamation. These generaly take long doses to erradicate. This
could also explain how it spread to other areas. good luck.

Clear drainage from ear (now both ears) (autoimmune thyroiditis)
Thanks. I remember you mentioned this last month.
I saw my new doctor this morning, and I brought this up.
He blew it off although I find this interesting because it is an autoimmune
disease... as is my autoimmune thyroiditis I have going on right now.
The doctor just looked in my ears, gave me a box of Nasonex and script for
I do get the feeling this is not going to help much. damn it. this fluid
keeps running out of my ears.. I asked this new doc if he would refer me to
an ENT... no, I don't need an ENT he assures me.
Any ideas, anyone? Someone told me that sodium chlorite drops can help
this... can't find any info on that. Dr. Grossan, anyone?

Clear drainage from ear (now both ears) (bacteria)
If this is an aenorobic infection the course is way to short. Weeks if
not months are needed to eradicate some bugs. Lyme for example needs
months of antibiotics and then Flagyl is put on top to erradicate it.
This is used because the bacteria goes into CWD(cell wall deficient
mode) most antibiotics stop cell wall production. In this situation a
broad spectrum antibiotic just isn't enough. Problem. Lyme can be
tested for now but if it's something else unless they puncture your
eardrum (or sinus) a culture can not be given. ENT's will not puncture
a sinus. too risky.

In this letter we present results from the FinSAR project, where the E-SAR and HUTSCAT instruments were operated together in order to validate tree height retrieval algorithms for boreal forest. The campaign was carried out in Finland in fall 2003. The main instruments of the campaign were the E-SAR airborne radar (operating at L- and X-band) and the HUTSCAT helicopter-borne profiling scatterometer (operating at X- and C-band). We compare and discuss forest height obtained from the inversion quad-pol POLInSAR data sets at L-band and forest height obtained from the inversion of single-pol Xband inSAR data with forest height estimates from HUTSCAT scatterometer data. Our results show that the forest height values, estimated by means of two different radar instruments, are in good agreement. The correlation between HUTSCAT and ESAR height estimates (R=0.77 at L- and R=0.75 At X-band) underline the good agreement between the results obtained by the two approaches.

The Opening Night of SF Sketchfest 2015 kicked off with two big shows.
Jakub Mosur
At the Marines Memorial, w00tstock Founders Night, treated audiences to almost four hours of geeky good times. Paul & Storm serenaded the crowd, moving an audience member to toss pink panties onto the stage within moments of the first strums. Rebecca Watson presented a slideshow on how she's learned to handle internet trolls. Wil Wheaton told a story about how he tried to be a hero but ended up scaring a woman in a Trader Joe's parking lot. Adam Savage mentioned how last year during Sketchfest was the first time his twin sons watched his act. They perched in the wings and he absentmindedly talked about penises quite a bit, which embarrassed them. He mentioned they were there again for Opening Night, which influenced his decision to choose juggling as a safer subject. Everyone took the stage for the final sing-along (Adam Savage, Wil Wheaton, John Roderick, Paul and Storm, Rebecca Watson and Jason Finn), which devolved into free riffing that was one of the funniest, silliest half-hours San Francisco audiences have been treated to since last year's w00tstock.
Dan Dion
At Cobb's, Night Train with Wyatt Cenac presented cream of the crop comedians Natasha Muse, Maronzio Vance, Phoebe Robinson and Cameron Esposito. Their sets tackled gender, race, romance, sleep lurkers, periods, and pubic hair.

Preparing young people for a successful future
Pittsford Federal Credit Union is doing our part to help young people learn about entrepreneurship, business, and finance. PFCU joined forces with Junior Achievement to deliver its world-class "Company Program" in Barker Road and Calkins Road Middle Schools this year. More than 25 students participated in these after-school, year-long programs, which allowed students to form and operate an actual company with the guidance of a business mentor.
Students had the opportunity to discover how businesses function, while learning about the structure of the free enterprise system and its benefits. They developed an understanding of the economic principals that influence business decisions, gained an introduction to career opportunities and work readiness skills and fostered positive relationships with members of the business community.
Perhaps just as critical, students spent time learning about the philanthropic aspects of business, and PFCU is proud that a majority of the profits in both Company Programs have benefited local non-profits in our community.
PFCU would like to thank teachers Suzanne Graser of Barker Road and Nancy Williams of Calkins Road, and business mentor John Baker, President & CEO of ACC Business, for the many hours of sound business advice and mentoring throughout the school year.
Pictured: Junior Achievement seeks to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.

Ronald McDonald House support
"Ham on white, with Swiss! Turkey on wheat, with Provolone! I need an apple for this order! More mayo, please!"
For nearly a year, Pittsford FCU has prepared and delivered a supply of 50 bagged lunches on a monthly basis for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester, NY. The lunches go to the visiting families, whose children have traveled to Rochester to receive treatment for various childhood diseases. Each lunch includes a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and a crunchy snack. In addition, we include an inspirational note to brighten each recipient's day. Every month, up to six team members volunteer to assemble and deliver the lunches.
"We have undertaken this initiative to give back to the community in an area where we perceived there was a need," said Member Service Center Manager Donna Burch, who helped establish the program. "Our plans are to donate the lunches on a monthly basis for the foreseeable future."
Since we started this project almost a year ago, the cold cuts and condiments have been generously donated by the Mendon Meadows Market. Pittsford FCU is extremely appreciative of the Market's support in our monthly effort to help the Ronald McDonald House.
For more information about the Ronald McDonald House Charities and their work in Rochester, visit them online at www.ronaldshouse.com.

6 SNAP (Food Stamp) Myths
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or SNAP, the new name for food stamps), is one of the best lines of defense against hunger in the United States. The federally funded program helps working families, seniors and many others in need put food on their tables. But stereotypes about SNAP and who uses it persist.
Let's set the record straight:
Myth #1: People who get SNAP don't work.
FACT: The overwhelming majority of SNAP recipients who can work do so. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, "Among SNAP households with at least one working-age, non-disabled adult, more than half work while receiving SNAP—and more than 80 percent work in the year prior to or the year after receiving SNAP. The rates are even higher for families with children—more than 60 percent work while receiving SNAP, and almost 90 percent work in the prior or subsequent year."
What's more, many SNAP participants aren't physically able to work. About 20 percent of SNAP participants are elderly or have a disability, according to the USDA.
Myth #2: SNAP is a drain on taxpayers.
FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity, according to Moody's economist Mark Zandi. SNAP not only helps low-income people buy groceries, it frees up cash for other expenses, such as medical care, clothing, home repairs and childcare. That benefits local businesses and their employees, which boosts the economy as a whole.
Myth #3: SNAP is rife with fraud and abuse.
FACT: "SNAP has one of the most rigorous quality control systems of any public benefit program," according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. SNAP fraud has actually been cut by three-quarters over the past 15 years, and the program's error rate is at an all-time low of less than 3 percent. The introduction of EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) cards has dramatically reduced consumer fraud. According to the USDA, the small amount of fraud that continues is usually on the part of retailers, not consumers.
Myth #4: SNAP benefits go to undocumented immigrants.
FACT: Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for SNAP. Documented immigrants can only get food stamps if they've lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with exceptions for refugees, asylees and children). In fact, immigrants are far less likely to apply for food stamps because they worry about jeopardizing their immigration status and because the application process is especially daunting for non-English speakers.
Important: SNAP is a nutrition program run by the USDA and is not considered a welfare program. Receiving SNAP benefits will not affect a documented immigrant's immigration status or any effort to gain U.S. citizenship.
Myth #5: Hunger isn't a problem in my community.
FACT: More than 658,000 people in the five-county region get SNAP, a 56 percent increase since the start of the recession. See the most recent figures on SNAP participation in Pennsylvania.
Myth #6: SNAP leads to unhealthy eating habits and obesity.
FACT: National studies show no significant link, positive or negative, between food stamps and healthy eating. Nor do they demonstrate a relationship between food stamps and weight gain.

The opposition party of Z.Zaev is the party that brought Macedonia to the point of bankrupt state by selling off every manufacturing enterprise in the country and pocketing the money for personal use.As of that result there were more than 280,000 people without a job.Present government of Nikola Gruevski has brought the country to the 5th place in doing business world wide.His government created more jobs,thanks to foreign investments than the opposition did in more than 16 years.Created work for over 1600 families who lost their jobs during the opposition in government.Created work for the health impaired individuals,increased pensions for the pensioners,increased the help to the farmers from 40 million to 500 million euros and many more.The opposition have nothing to show for themselves for their 16 years in government while the economy was booming in the world. And the worst thing one can do was the selling off the constitutional name to a foreign government that impedes the country's progress today.The think is,the opposition still fights the government for their southern neighbor Greece.I agree with one commentator on this site,the assassination attempt on Gligorov was due to the changes of the constitutional name of Macedonia.The only thing was the then Minister of Internal Affairs was L.Frckovski who was heavily involved in the sale of Macedonia to the Greeks.
Zaev was pardoned by Crvenkovski for stealing millions of dollars even before he was supposed to appear in front of a judge.
These journalists are paid by Soros as was the opposition paid by Greece in the tune of 130 million dollars.Does anyone remember 130 million dollars in black garbage bags stolen from the Greek banks to pay for the interests of Samaras destruction of the Republic of Macedonia and the Macedonian minority in Aegean Macedonia?.Has any of these journalists ever written anything about the plight of the Macedonians in Greece or Bulgaria?.This article is a disgrace to the journalism of Macedonia.

Quoted from ""MC A.H""1) You could play the tracks with same synth.
2) You could play 2 melodies and with 2 man it means you could play 4 melodies
3) No-one means that Scooter should play bassdrum, hi-hats etc.
4) So what if they make an mistake? They are humans!
5) What those DJ's are doing here? Scooter wants to be a live-act which means they should also play live
6) No-one ever said that Mantas would have been bad addition.
7) Biggest problem was that every f**king track were the same than they were in the album (at least nearly every track).

Quoted from ""MC A.H""Well that's your opinion and I can't change it...
But think those Scooter tracks in EAA. If you would play 4 melodies it is already nearly full played wouldn't it? I don't mean that they should play drums or anything like that but synths. And couple of mistakes wouldn't be bad thing. It makes actually some kind of live feeling.
Tiësto is moron. He plays S##t. Okay to the point. You're probably right when you say he is also a live act. But Scooter brings synths and all to the stage and I think they should also play them.
I didn't say that they should change every track but they should change some of the tracks. 2 isn't enough. And changes don't have to be radical. No Fate from Encore is a good example. It had something new but still it sounds like No Fate. Of course there is a risk that it would change to the worst direction (Well some of the tracks can't be worse...) but then again... The Leading Horse. It was bad in the album. Now it sounds good. And it still sounds like The Leading Horse.
Bass and drums harder? Well Scooter is already very banging to be dance act... And you're audience which doesn't like changes wouldn't like it faster. And so wouldn't our dear H.P. who has problems to MC everything even now...

The New Year's Eve theft of 68 cell phones valued at $19,000 from a kiosk inside the Staten Island Mall was an inside job, prosecutors said today.
Stephen J. Clarke, 21, of 209th Street in Queens, worked at the In-Touch T-Mobile stand, said prosecutors.
According to court papers, Clarke and an accomplice, Kenneth McGill, 20, of New Dorp, entered the mall around 1:30 a.m. Clarke had access via an employee entrance, said a law-enforcement source.
The pair headed to the cell phone kiosk where they unlocked "multiple combination locks," opened a cabinet and safe and swiped the cell phones, court records said.
Police arrested McGill Tuesday, as previously reported in the Advance.
Clarke, who prosecutors said "manned" the stand, was collared Thursday.
Each defendant was charged with single felony counts of third-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree stolen-property possession.
They potentially face a maximum of two and one-third to seven years in prison if convicted of any of those crimes.

Kilohertz QPOs have now been detected in more than twenty accreting neutron stars in low-mass binary systems. Two such QPOs are usually detected in each star. The two detected in the 401~Hz accretion-powered X-ray pulsar SAX~J1808.4-3658 have a frequency separation consistent with half its 401~Hz stellar spin frequency \nu\rm spin. Two kilohertz QPOs have also been detected in the 191~Hz accretion-powered X-ray pulsar XTE~J1807-294 with a frequency separation consistent with its 191~Hz stellar spin frequency. Thus the frequency separation is apparently \approx \nu\rm spin in some stars but \approx \nu\rm spin/2 in others. A frequency separation approximately equal to \nu\rm spin/2 is unexplained in all existing models of the kilohertz QPOs. Here we propose a modified version of the sonic-point beat-frequency model that can explain within a single framework why the frequency separation is close to \nu\rm spin in some stars but close to \nu\rm spin/2 in others. As in the original sonic-point model, the frequency \nu\rm QPO2 of the upper kilohertz QPO is close to the orbital frequency \nu\rm orb at the radius rsp of the sonic point in the disk flow. We show that magnetic and radiation fields rotating with the star will preferentially excite vertical motions in the disk at the ``spin-resonance'' radius rsr where \nu\rm orb - \nu\rm spin is equal to the vertical epicyclic frequency. If the flow at rsr is relatively smooth, the vertical motions excited at rsr modulate the X-ray flux at \nu\rm QPO1 \approx \nu\rm QPO2 - \nu\rm spin. If instead the gas at rsr is highly clumped, the vertical motions excited at rsr modulate the X-ray flux at \nu'\rm QPO1 \approx \nu\rm QPO2 - \nu\rm spin/2. This \textit {sonic-point and spin-resonance} beat-frequency model can also explain quantitatively the decrease of the kilohertz QPO frequency separation with increasing accretion rate that is observed in many sources. This research was supported in part by NASA grant NAG~5-12030, NSF grant AST~0098399, and funds of the Fortner Endowed Chair at Illinois, and by NSF grant AST~0098436 at Maryland.

Welp, so much for the Keyon comeback. He got on Twitter to say that it's not happening:
Hey everyone thank you for all the love and support that you guys give me daily.FYI I won't be returning this season #StayTuned @celticslife
— Keyon Dooling (@AmbassadorKD) January 30, 2013
He went on to basically thank Celtics fans for their support and say that he's not sure "what the future holds" for him. The folks from Sportsality say he may be "getting ready for next season". Not sure what, if anything, this means as far as the Celts' current PG situation. But as Keyon says, stay tuned….

Come Heller high water...
• Hey, sometimes the whiners and gripers are right -- there IS nothing to do around here, especially in the winter. But not these next few weeks. The next few weeks -- well, at the risk of sounding like a booster, they rock.
This weekend is the 41st annual Flint Art Fair on the grounds of the Flint Art Institute. I visit art fairs all over the state. This is one of the best. This year's official poster -- painted by Grand Blanc artist David Chapple -- is truly cool. It features vintage muscle cars in front of the Capitol Theater marquee. (You can check out David's fine work at www.autoart.com, by the way.)
Then, of course, there's the Buick Open at Warwick Hills (June 23-29). The Open causes a buzz locally like nothing else, save the Crim. (You just know Buick officials are cringing every time Tiger Woods takes a swing on his surgically-repaired knee in the ongoing U.S. Open.)
• I know Genesee County commissioners took some heat for donating tax dollars to Flint's Fourth of July fireworks at the same time county services are awaiting drastic cuts, but I think they made the right call. In fact, I think they should put more into the celebration, or perhaps put on a countywide show. Times are hard, sure, but if you let the good things die around here, what's left? A bigger, better Fourth would be defiance in the face of trouble, and I favor that mentality.
• Some may have rolled their eyes at The Don's veto of yet another city budget this week and figured we're in for another year of petty, counterproductive wrangling between him and the City Council. Maybe not. Remember, the Council passed the budget with a 6-3 majority. That's key. If that coalition stays together, the Council can override any mayoral veto, thereby rendering him essentially powerless on many matters. That, in turn, may force The Don to cooperate, negotiate, compromise. (Note to the mayor about those words: Check Webster's.)
• Rumor or truth? I'm hearing that two police employees who spoke to The Journal last week about the appointment of David Dicks as police chief may be disciplined. If so, wow, what a lousy start as far as team-building within the department, not to mention a violation of free speech. Why are people in public positions so freaked out by dissent? What are they afraid of? Didn't Dicks just say he wanted the department to be more "transparent"? (No return call from Dicks as of press time.)
• My keen baseball intellect tells me the Detroit Tigers have turned some kind of mental corner. If they can cut the division lead in half by the Fourth, watch out.
• If Barack Obama becomes president, does the fist bump replace the handshake?
• Blog Comment of the Week honors go to Kazimer for this on ice cream trucks: "The music over the truck's loudspeaker is much lower in volume from the past couple of years. Now what was becoming an annoyance is once again welcome invitation."
• Now if they'd just change the tune.
• Need Has a Face. This week it looks like Debra, a single mom of three who works part-time. She just received a much-needed couch, but it was filled with mice, so she's couchless once again. To help, call Meghan Scollon at Judson Center (810) 732-8510. Information provided by The Resource Center (810) 767-0500.
