DETROIT — State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr has ordered his legal staff to prepare an order that will strip the pay and authority from AWOL Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh.

Pugh has been a no-show at recent council meetings and failed to acknowledge by a 5 p.m. Wednesday deadline that he would be returning to work, Orr spokesman Bill Nowling said.

The congressional women’s team almost had it.

Going into the 6th inning at the 5th Annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game Wednesday evening, the lawmakers led the press corps 8-5, had the backing of a racuous cheering section, and looked like they could have the momentum to pull out a win.

But the Bad News Babes scored six runs in the sixth inning to take the lead for good, earning an 11-8 victory and Capitol Hill bragging rights. The annual matchup has congresswomen playing against women of the Washington press corps for glory and to raise money for young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

After the 4.45 firmware update knocked some PlayStation 3s out of commission last week, Sony has fulfilled its promise of a fixed version. 4.46 is now available to download, while a series of steps has been posted to the support site to walk users through updating any consoles that installed 4.45 and then failed to reboot. Additionally, for users that successfully installed 4.45 and later complained of NAT and “IP fragment issues,” a post on the support forum confirms that has been fixed as well. Owners of frozen consoles will need a USB memory stick with at least 168MB of space, although certain older models can also use SD, Memory Stick or Compact Flash cards. There’s still no word on exactly what went wrong, but for instructions on how to configure the flash storage and reboot into safe mode so you can start gaming again, just hit the source link below.

Nissan’s ZEOD RC may sound fast at 186MPH, but it’s a slow poke next to Drayson Racing’s B12/69EV. The modified Le Mans car just broke the FIA’s land speed record, hitting 204.2MPH on a course at the former RAF Elvington base in Yorkshire. While Drayson is quick to admit that the 850HP racer is unusual, it sees the project as groundwork for both a 2015 Formula E car and technologies that could filter down to regular vehicles. The speed record also gives electric racing more credibility at a crucial moment — when EVs are just starting to rival gas-powered counterparts on the track, any leap in performance can help.

When you feel you’ve been hurt or mistreated, it’s common to get angry — and anger is unpleasant, to say the least. Anger following a breakup or divorce is natural… but is it healthy? Does anger toward your ex help you move forward, or does it hold you back? Turns out, it does both.

On the surface, it seems remaining angry with your ex is the right thing to do. After all, he hurt you. He said horrible things to and about you. He may have cheated, turned your family or friends against you or taken away your livelihood. You think, “I have every right to be angry,” and you may be right.
