Sure, it's like a week past New Year's Eve, but you can't quash the Totescast's capacity for merriment – especially considering the rogues' gallery we assembled to sort through our Top Tens for 2010.

Michael King, Richard Whittaker, and your hosts Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar unpack the News team's year-end lists of notable local, state, City Hall, and criminal justice stories.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!
