The top of Class 4A basketball continued to trade blows Friday as No. 4 Goose Creek knocked off No. 2 Wando, 59-42, at home.
Just over two weeks ago, Wando, ranked No. 3, knocked off No. 1 Goose Creek by 34 points at home. The Gators' win Friday served the Warriors their first loss in Region VII, and evened the two rivals for first place with a week left in the regular season.
Wando (18-4, 5-1) now controls its own destiny. If the Warriors win Tuesday at Stratford and Friday against West Ashley, they'll win the Region VII championship by margin of victory in the series against Goose Creek (21-2, 6-1). The Gators close their regular season schedule Tuesday, highly favored on the road against Cane Bay.
"Our guys are going to be hungry for these last two games," Wando head coach David Eaton said. "They want that No. 1 seed and they know we have to have these next two to win the region and get it. Hopefully it's one of those things where it'll get us on a roll headed into the state playoffs."
Wando hasn't seen too many teams this season match hot shooting with a strong defense the way Goose Creek did Friday. The Gators rained in 12 threes while limiting the Warriors to their second-lowest scoring game of the season.
Wando opened the game on a 10-1 run that felt like the Jan. 21 blowout in Mount Pleasant. But instead of folding, this time Goose Creek came back firing with three threes to close the quarter on its own 10-1 run. The Gators dropped in four more threes in the second quarter, two from Chris Singleton, to break open a 12-point lead by halftime.
Goose Creek opened the second half with three straight threes, two from Dantez Bennamon, to power a 9-2 run through the first three minutes. Wando switched defensive looks, rotated lineups, applied pressure but never recovered. They cut the deficit to nine points late in the third, and 10 with four minutes to play in the fourth but couldn't seriously threaten.
Bennamon finished with a game-high 18 points, Singleton added 15 and Jordan McElveen 10. Jamez Rogers led Wando with 13 points, Amp Moore and Matt Pegram both added eight.
"Goose Creek earned it tonight," Eaton said. "I don't think my guys gave up one time tonight but (Goose Creek) did not stop hitting threes, you have to give them credit. Maybe we didn't talk as well, we needed a little bit more pressure but they were just hot all night.
"If we want to go far in the state tournament, a team is going to come out a punch us like they did tonight. We're a tough team and I think we have a chance to show that by how well we respond and come out and play next week."
Wando defeated Stratford by 25 points and won at West Ashley by 21 in the first meetings this season.

LISBON - The school district intends to contract with the Columbiana County Educational Service Center to share transportation administration duties following the loss of Lisbon's bus supervisor.
Robert Marra, whose resignation was accepted at this week's Lisbon school board meeting, quit to become transportation supervisor at Southern Local High School.
School Superintendent Don Thompson said he approached the ESC about sharing the position because the ESC is also in the process of looking for a transportation supervisor. He said the merger is made easier by the fact both districts already share the same bus garage.
Thompson said the ESC has yet to hire a transportation supervisor, and he said there may be the additional cost of contracting for mechanical services because Marra also served as bus mechanic.
In other action, the board hired DSV Builders of Niles for $19,800 to perform additional work at the football stadium, which will include encircling the War Memorial with decorative fence and erecting three lighted flag poles.
Thompson said smokers attending football games are prohibited from smoking inside the stadium and have begun congregating around the memorial at halftime to smoke.
"The concern is people aren't showing it the proper respect," which is the reason for the fence and flagpoles, Thompson said. "Plus, we had wanted to enhance that area anyway."
The money for the project will come from the district's permanent improvement fund, but the community's Stadium Improvement Committee is likely to contribute some funding, just as it has with the other stadium improvements.
The board also submitted the biannual financial forecast as required to the Ohio Department of Education. The report shows the district with a healthy balance for the next several years, but Treasurer Cindy Altomare pointed out expenditures have begun outpacing revenue, which, if the trend continues, will result in a budget deficit by 2017.
The board ended the most recent school year with a $3.6 million balance despite expenditures exceeding revenue by $303,000. "The fact we sit on the cushion we have is our advantage," Thompson said.
The board also heard from teachers Jodie McCullough, Beth Hiscox and Nikol Mundy, who were responsible for acquiring educational grants totaling $10,881. The money was used to purchase science-related books to encourage reading, create a geocaching game, monitor the local effects of global warming, engage in rainwater collection, and provide home energy-saving packets for students.
The student spotlight portion of the meeting was on Jessica McKee and Glen Wernke, senior Key Club officers, who spoke about all of the organization's community service and fundraising projects.
The board also approved the following personnel moves:
- Granted a leave of absence through the rest of the year to school bus driver Kathie Johns.
- Approved Ryan Snyder as a volunteer coach for the varsity boys basketball team.
- Awarded the following supplemental basketball coaching contracts: Dave Crismon, assistant girl's varsity; Mark Pezzano, girl's junior varsity coach; Allison Bell, eighth-grade girl's coach; Doug Andric, assistant varsity boy's coach; Todd Johnson, eighth-grade boy's coach; AJ Ondrey, seventh-grade boy's coach.

In the chaos immediately after the Boston Marathon blasts, David Green took a picture with his smartphone before helping those who had been injured in the second blast.
It wasn't until three days later, when officials released video of the two suspects, that Green realized that he had a clear photo of suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev walking away from the scene.
Green, the CEO of a sportswear company who ran the marathon, immediately understood the importance of taking the picture. "I was in New York during 9/11," he tells PEOPLE. "You just have to document something, [so] I pulled my phone out and took one picture."
"Then I ran into the crowd to help whoever was there. I got back to the hotel, called the FBI and said I had the photo, then I posted it on Facebook."
David Green
"I called the FBI [again]," Green says. "Within 30 minutes, I spoke to half a dozen agents. I think they knew we had ... the best photo of suspect number two. So they told me I could circulate that photo. I re-posted it on Facebook, said 'This is a photo of suspect two, please get this out.' And between 7 and 11 p.m. on Thursday night, it went viral."
Now home in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, Green is thankful that he thought to take the photo. "It certainly can't make up for the tragedy," he says. "But it felt really good to be able to help."

The Stockton Unified School District took its first step toward laying off dozens of teachers and counselors, along with 11 principals.
The school board Tuesday night decided to give the preliminary layoff notices before a March 15 state deadline.
"Theses notices are just a warning," Stockton Unified spokeswoman Diane Barth said. "It would not be until May 15 that we would know the budget and make actual layoffs."
The notices went out to a number of people, including 11 principals, 27 elementary school teachers and 17 counselors.
"This is (a) great concern to lay off that many principals," retired principal Eugene Jackson said. "The superintendent knows that stability is necessary for students, and now they will not even know who is in charge."
School district officials say the budget and the number of teachers retiring could affect the number of layoffs.

Published May 17, 2013
Liesl Folks, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, is the recipient of a national award recognizing her mentorship of science and engineering students.
The AVS Excellence in Leadership award, first issued in 2012, is presented by AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces and Processing. AVS is the former American Vacuum Society, a nonprofit professional organization of roughly 5,000 members that is affiliated with the American Institute of Physics.
AVS is unusual in that it is an interdisciplinary society that supports networking among academic, industry, government and consulting professionals. It spans all disciplines related to basic science, technology development and commercialization of materials, interfaces and processing.
Folks is the second UB researcher to receive the award in the past two years: Joseph A. Gardella Jr., UB's John and Frances Larkin Professor of Chemistry, received the inaugural AVS Excellence in Leadership award in 2012.
Folks has a long record of support for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) educational programs, from pre-K through 12th-grade initiatives to helping launch a graduate educational program in magnetics, which is her field of research. That program, sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), offers summer study opportunities to roughly 100 graduate students globally each year.
"Mentoring can play an important role in advancing the careers of young people in STEM fields and it has been a great joy for me to play even a small part in helping some great young scientists and engineers to advance," Folks says. "It is a great honor to be recognized by the AVS for these activities. I certainly have benefited from great mentoring during my career and am delighted if I can help others even a little through mentoring activities."
An internationally recognized expert in nanotechnology and magnetism, Folks holds 14 U.S. patents and is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed papers. Prior to arriving at UB in January, Folks worked for more than nine years at HGST, a hard disk drive company in San Jose, Calif. Before that, she worked at IBM Almaden Research Center, also in San Jose, for six years.
She is president of the IEEE's Magnetics Society and served in 2012 on the congressionally mandated panel for the Triennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, facilitated by the National Academy of Sciences.

I know it's football season when people start asking for the recipe for my "Ultimate Tailgating Mac and Cheese," a hybrid of smooth Velveeta-based baked macaroni and cheese, and the taste sensations of Buffalo style chicken wings.
It's an easily tailored recipe. Add more Frank's Red Hot, or fiercer habaneno stuff, if you like it spicy. Up the cheese quotient with aged provolone or feta for a more pungent dairy flavor.
Ultimate Tailgating Mac and Cheese
3 pounds elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
2 pound loaf Velveeta
Meat from 1 chicken, in bite-sized pieces
4 cups chopped onion
8 ounces blue cheese
4 ounces (1 stick) butter
2 cups milk
½ cup cayenne pepper hot sauce, like Frank's
1 pound sharp cheddar, shredded
2 cups celery, sliced thin
1 cup plain yogurt
• Cook macaroni al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Skin chicken and strip meat, tearing it into bite-sized chunks.
• In large pot, melt butter. When foaming stops, add onions. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until translucent and browning, 10 to 15 minutes. Do not allow to burn.
• Add hot sauce, stirring until sauce evaporates into onions, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add milk, yogurt and Velveeta torn in chunks. Stir steadily as Velveeta melts into liquid. (Do not allow to boil, or it will burn on the bottom of the pot.)
• Set oven to 500 degrees. Spread cooked macaroni in standard half-sheet sized foil catering pan. Scatter celery and chicken over the macaroni, and crush blue cheese to spread across the mixture. Add cheese sauce and stir to combine everything evenly. Smooth out the mixture.
• Top with shredded cheddar and place pan in preheated oven. Bake until brown and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes. Can be covered with heavy foil and kept warm in a cooler, stuffed with crumpled newspaper as insulation, for up to four hours.

Not a lot went wrong for the North squad in its 24-7 victory over the South in the 30th Lezzer Lumber Football Classic Friday night at Mansion Park.
On the other hand, not a lot went right for the South.
Penns Valley's Cameron Tobias earned the North team's Offensive Most Valuable Player award by completing six of 10 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns.

The South's Bradi Moore, a Central graduate, is tripped up by Tyler Stratton, who went to Clearfield.
Clarion High School's Cody Hearst, who made three catches in the game for 105 yards, caught a 13-yard Tobias touchdown pass in the second quarter.
Clarion's Damien Silke caught a 14-yard touchdown strike from Tobias late in the first quarter to open the game's scoring, and also ran 1 yard up the middle for a second-quarter touchdown for the North, which racked up 355 yards in total offense while building a 24-0 lead.
The South squad committed seven turnovers, five on interceptions. North safety Tyler Stratton of Clearfield High School made three picks en route to earning his team's Defensive Most Valuable Player award.
"They did a good job, and we just didn't execute well offensively,'' said Mifflin County High School coach George Miskinis, who coached the South squad. "Our offensive mistakes gave them good field position and a short field tonight.''
An interception by Trevor Schwiderske of DuBois set up the North's first score of the night. The South marched 72 yards in six plays, with Tobias' 37-yard pass down the seam to Bald Eagle Area's Bryce Greene the biggest. Tobias followed that completion three plays later with his 14-yard touchdown pass to Silke, who floated out of the backfield on to the left flat and found himself wide open.
"It was definitely a different offense than what I've been used to, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to do what needed to get done,'' Tobias said. "Our line blocked well, our receivers ran sharp routes, and I was able to do what I do best.''
A 59-yard burst down the right side by Bald Eagle Area's Dakota Bartley early in the second quarter set up Silke's 1-yard touchdown smash as the North team took a 14-0 lead.
"I expected a high-scoring shootout tonight,'' Bartley said. "This was definitely not the final score that I expected in an all-star game.''
Stratton's second of three interceptions helped the North build a 21-0 lead at intermission. Tobias found Hearst on a 25-yard pass completion, and a roughing-the-passer penalty on the play gave the North a first down at the South 13. Tobias then connected with Hearst on a 13-yard scoring pass with just 35 seconds left before halftime.
"This was a fun game,'' Stratton said about his three interceptions. "I kept looking into the quarterbacks' eyes all night, and I was in the right place at the right time.''
A rough night for the South squad was punctuated when Central's Austin Cunningham sustained a leg injury after being tackled on an option run early in the first quarter. Cunningham left the game and did not return, spending the remainder of the night on the sidelines with his leg elevated.
Another Clarion High School player, Antonio Troese, figured in the North team's scoring with a 32-yard third-quarter field goal that made it a 24-0 game.
Friday was a special night for Clarion High School football coach Larry Wiser, who directed the North squad.
"I'm so pleased,'' Wiser said. "From the very beginning of the week, these kids came in here and put in a solid week of practice. They were ready to go tonight.''
Central's Bradi Moore, who caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Williamsburg's Austin McMonagle with 5:52 left in the game to account for the South team's only scoring, picked up on a difference in intensity between the South and North squads Friday.
"Their team came out fired up and ready to play, and we didn't really get it done today,'' said Moore, who was named the South squad's Offensive MVP. "They were playing at a different speed than we were.''
Nonetheless, playing in the game was still a special experience for Moore.
"It's an awesome privilege to be a part of this team,'' Moore said. "This is the best of the best. I enjoyed it.''
Mifflin County's JM Maclay, who intercepted a pass in the end zone and made several tackles, was named the South's Defensive MVP.

Like many family members and friends, Tyrese Gibson continues to struggle with the untimely death of Paul Walker in a car crash on Saturday.
Gibson posted a heartfelt message to his Facebook account on Tuesday, mourning his Fast and the Furious costar.
"In moments like this, it feels – it feels like death has won. But the Bible says that love is stronger than death," Gibson wrote, paraphrasing a funeral sermon by Bishop T.D. Jakes.
"Your tears may flow. Your pain may come," Gibson continued. "You'll be driving down the street one day and you'll hear Paul's voice talking in your head. Something he said or something he did will pop up in your spirit and you'll giggle inside of yourself as if he were sitting in the car with you. And you will find that people that you really love, they may leave you outwardly, but they never leave you inwardly."
On Monday, Gibson created a Facebook post entitled, "My open letter to God ... "
"My heart is hurting so badly but in this darkness you used me as a light with my brothers family tonight. ... Use me up father God I owe you ... "

text: Mike Scott had been pursuing his grandiose "big music" since he founded the Waterboys, so it came as a shock when he scaled back the group's sound for the Irish and English folk of Fisherman's Blues. Although the arena-rock influences have been toned down,Scott's vision is no less sweeping or romantic, making even the simplest songs on Fisherman's Blues feel like epics. Nevertheless, the album is the Waterboys' warmest and most rewarding record, boasting a handful of fine songs ("And a Bang on the Ear," the ominous "We Will Not Be Lovers," "Has Anybody Here Seen Hank?," and the title track), as well as a surprisingly successful cover of Van Morrison's breathtaking "Sweet Thing."(Allmusic.com)

Can you define these popular missing words?
a girl with abnormally large tits, generally a friendly term said jokingly. She doesn't show them off though, and is very modest. Titzilla's a pretty good friend to have around. She's kind of a spaz though. But you like her anyways.
Girl 1: Hey, Titzilla!
Girl 2: I will end you.

NEW YORK Pinterest is allowing small businesses and corporations to create official accounts, a move that could be an early step toward profitability.
Pinterest Inc. burst onto the tech scene last year, appealing to designers, wedding planners, chefs and anyone else who likes to collect and share images from the Web.
The San Francisco company said it is offering businesses free tools for their Pinterest content. Companies already use Pinterest to share photos of clothes, recipes and designs.
With Wednesdays changes, businesses can officially link their websites so they are listed on their Pinterest profiles. For example, Home Depot can now verify that its Pinterest page is company-sanctioned and linked to www.homedepot.com.
Companies can also add buttons to their own websites to make it easier for visitors to pin items on Pinterest (using a pin it button) or follow their feeds on Pinterest.
Other social media companies have differentiated between people and institutional users. Facebook introduced pages for corporations, schools and sports teams that others could like in 2007.
Research firm comScore said the site had 26.7 million unique visitors last month, up from 3.3 million in October 2011.

When it comes to playing an iconic TV character, there probably aren't any sexier shoes to fill than those of Sex and the City's Samantha Jones.
That's why when Lindsey Gort got the call that she'd be playing young Samantha on season two of the CW's The Carrie Diaries, she lost it.
"I almost fell off of my balcony," she tells PEOPLE.
Despite being a dead ringer for Kim Cattrall's promiscuous character, Gort, 29, says in real life, she's not nearly as risqué. Here are five things to know about the sexy new star.
1. She was turned down twice for the role
The first time she auditioned, "I thought it went well, but my agent told me they were holding out for a bigger-name actress," says the newcomer, who's played extras and small roles before landing Samantha. "The next time they called me in, I didn't get it again." After auditioning a third time, "When my agent called to tell me I got the part I almost fell. I celebrated with my boyfriend."
2. Kim Cattrall sent her blessing via Twitter
"When they announced I got the part I didn't even have Twitter," says Gort. "A friend of mine told me to sign on because Kim Cattrall had Tweeted my name." The original Samantha sent Gort a message saying, "So happy you're playing fearless Sam, the key to her is her heart." Says Gort, "I'm such a fan, I couldn't believe it."
3. She was nearly nude her first day on set
"We got straight to business," she says of her first day on the New York set. "I was in underwear and pasties. It was a little nerve-wracking at first, but now, wearing less clothes actually makes me feel more like Samantha, because she's so fearless."
4. Her parents don't mind the racy role
Gort doesn't cringe over her parents seeing her play such a sexy character. "My parents are like the cool parents, you know. My mom tells me I got all of my sexiness from her. They're just so excited."
5. When she's not baring all on screen, she's singing
"I've actually been singing all of my life," says Gort, who was spotted by casting directors while performing with a musical theater group in Los Angeles. "I will always sing, but acting is what I'm loving right now. Who knows, young Samantha may break into song one episode."
The Carrie Diaries airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Crickets wings are folded around the body, where the grasshopper wings are carried like a tent over the body. There are a few different types of crickets you may encounter: the House Cricket, Field Cricket, Camel Cricket, Mole Cricket, Jerusalem Cricket, and the Tree Cricket. The distinctive sound that a cricket creates is produced by repeatedly rubbing its wings together. For the most part, Crickets are nocturnal and only become active in late evenings when they begin to forage for food.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Isotechnika Pharma will merge with Aurinia Pharmaceuticals to create a combined company focused on developing clinical-stage nephrology drugs, the companies said today.
The combined company, which will use the Aurinia name, will reacquire full rights to the novel calcineurin inhibitor voclosporin for autoimmune indications, including lupus, and transplantation in the U.S., Europe, and other regions of the world outside of Canada, Israel, South Africa, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Those rights will be reacquired from ILJIN Life Science, which last month withdrew claims for damages against Isotechnika, resolving a year-long legal dispute over a development, distribution, and licensing agreement. Isotechnika terminated the accord in January 2012, saying it wanted to engage ILJIN and other companies that expressed interest in voclosporin. One of those companies was Vifor Pharma, from which Aurinia was spun out.
In return, ILJIN will own 25% of the new company. ILJIN will also be entitled to C$10 million ($10.03 million) in predefined future milestone payments, plus up to C$1.6 million (about $1.61 million) tied to undisclosed financing milestones. The companies said they expect to complete their merger by March 15, subject to conditions that include approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, on which Isotechnika shares trade; approval by Isotechnika's shareholders; and Isotechnika securing a minimum C$3 million ($3.01 million) in debt or equity financing.
The current Aurinia holds the license for voclosporin in lupus nephritis, as well as to the database created by the Aspreva Lupus Management Study ("ALMS"), one of the largest and most important lupus nephritis studies ever conducted. ALMS resulted in development of mycophenolate mofetil as a new standard treatment for the disease.
Aurinia has used the ALMS dataset toward a study of voclosporin set to begin later this year. The combined company plans to assess the results of adding voclosporin to standard of care in treating lupus nephritis through multiple targets.
"This combination has the potential to rapidly and significantly improve patient outcomes. To that end, we expect to launch this Phase IIb study of voclosporin in lupus nephritis in 2013," Neil Solomons, M.D., the new company's chief medical officer and until now vp of clinical development at Vifor, said in a statement.
Aurinia is a privately-held spinout of Vifor, part of Swiss-owned Galenica Group, which in 2008 acquired Aspreva Pharmaceuticals for C$915 million ($917.75 million). Several former Aspreva senior managers, directors, and officers went on to join Aurenia's leadership team.
Robert Foster, Ph.D., Isotechnika's current president & CEO, will lead the new combined company, while Aurinia's current CEO, Michael Martin, will be serving as the new company's president and chief business officer. Dennis Bourgeault, Isotechnika's CFO, will be the new company's CFO.
The new company's board will be chaired by Richard Glickman, L.L.D., a major Aurinia shareholder and Aspreva's co-founder, chairman, and CEO before its acquisition by Galenica. Isotechnika's current chairman, Peter Wijngaard, Ph.D., will serve as vice-chairman.
"The consolidation of the intellectual property of these two companies ensures that this significant market opportunity is well protected and provides a powerful platform to create true stakeholder value," Dr. Glickman said in the statement.

The Pied Piper's Magic at DCT — a tribute to friendship on stage and off
One of the three elements that struck me most deeply in The Pied Piper's Magic at Dallas Children's Theater is the power of friendship — both on stage and off stage in form of the special relationship between Pied Piper author Steven Kellogg and the theater itself; DCT executive artistic director Robyn Flatt and her longtime staff are the only ones to whom Kellogg has entrusted the rights to adapt his warm and whimsical work. You can read my review here and my feature about it here.
Another element is the power of words — this piper's magic is that he can pipe words that come to life and he can reverse the letters of those words to create new images (a welcome message about the importance of looking at things from another perspective). And finally, it is very cool to see that in the wake of Harry Potter mania, nobody blinks at a character being a witch as Elbavol is here. To put it in perspective, some audience members gave the theater a hard time for the witch in Kellogg's A Christmas Witch in 1995. That's two years before Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in England and three before the retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published in America. So you could say A Christmas Witch was just ahead of its time.

No wonder he's so into politics!
Sexy star George Clooney is distantly related to America's storied 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, according to Ancestry.com. The finding came recently as Ancestry.com researchers were tracing the president's lineage in celebration of the upcoming film, Lincoln.
"We noticed there were similarities between the names and places of Abraham Lincoln's tree and George Clooney's tree," the genealogy website's Michelle Ercanbrack tells PEOPLE. "They both have deep roots in Kentucky, so once we honed in on that we were able to find a connection between the two."
The men are connected through Lucy Hanks, who was Lincoln's maternal grandmother. Marriages and births make Clooney the president's half-first cousin five times removed. But the men share more than just family, Ercanbrack points out.
"Maybe they're not two men you'd originally put together, but we've found some interesting similarities," Ercanbrack says. "They're both human rights advocates. ... Both are excellent writers. ... And obviously both have the talent of being able to grow a really great beard."
Though Clooney isn't aware of the connection just yet, "I'd love to hear his reaction," Ercanbrack says. "I'd like to hear what being related to this iconic American President would mean to him."

Pursuit of Cobra Wave 1 Bravo Class Wolf Hound with White Out:
Part of the Wave 1 Bravo Class vehicles (the other being the new HISS Tank), the Wolf Hound (aka Snow Cat) with driver White Out is a slightly retooled 1985 Snow Cat vehicle. The foot pegs have been re-sized to accommodate the modern figures from the '25th Anniversary" to the Rise of Cobra to latest line, The Pursuit of Cobra. Along with the retooled foot pegs, the Wolf Hound gets a new missile rack. A very common issue with the vintage Snow Cats are the missile racks. They are usually broken most of the time where they clip on to the missile launcher post. Hasbro has tried to address this issue with this latest re-issue. Aside from that the vehicle is just about identical. One other noticeable difference is the coloring though, the Wolf Hound is molded in a slightly marbled plastic (black is mixed into the white plastic).
As THE definitive Joe Arctic vehicle, the Wolf Hound comes with plenty to stop Cobra. It can carry up to seven (7) additional figures to the driver. It comes with four (4) missiles that fit into a tilting and rotating missile rack attached to the rear. Part of the missile launcher's "upgrade" is that it is now a spring-loaded launcher. With the sliding of a switch the missiles launch from their tubes. There are also two (2) ski torpedoes, one on each side. There is also a moving wiper blade attached to the canopy. The steering wheel found in the driver seat area swivels up and down. The front wheels move freely and there are two (2) small wheels underneath the rear area allow it to move across surfaces.
The Wolf Hound comes with driver White Out, a figure that hasn't appeared in the GI Joe line since 2000; is built from the "25th Annivesary" Snow Job and Arctic Snake Eyes figures. The arms and legs are from Snake Eyes and the torso, hood and goggles are from Snow Job. The head sculpt appears to be all new. The figure does not come with any other accessories besides the hood and goggles. It does not come with a figure stand either.
If you are a fan of the classic Snow Cat, you'll like this vehicle. This is one of the iconic Joe vehicles of the ARAH era. My only complaint is that Hasbro still insists on putting black and/or red stickers on either black or dark gray plastic. I don't get this, you can't read them Hasbro, so please stop this. Make them white. Other than that, my other big complaint would be White Out. It's not a bad figure, but the design of the figure does not allow him to sit all the way into the seat in the driver's seat. You can close the canopy with no problems, but the fact the figure doesn't fit entirely seems kind of silly since they did retool part(s) of this vehicle. Another thing I'm noticing on the instructions with the latest vehicles, is that someone isn't putting all the instructions for all the parts. There was nothing on the instructions for the wheels that fit into the rear tank treads area. One other thing, not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to get Frostbite with this vehicle, instead of White Out, since he was the driver of the original Snow Cat.

The Senate's chief health policy writer has advanced a bill targeting fraud in the state-federal Medicaid health insurance program for the poor.
Sen. Jane Nelson persuaded the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, which she leads, to report her bill to the floor.
Among other things, it would direct the Health and Human Service Commission's inspector general to prevent fraud, and not just investigate it after the fact. The measure also would more quickly eject from the program providers who've cheated. Responding to WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reports in Dallas about unusually high usage of braces by orthodontists participating in children's Medicaid, the bill would prohibit unsolicited door-to-door or personal contacts to steer Medicaid recipients to a provider.
"Members, fraud robs us of the resources that we need to care for the most vulnerable citizens," said Nelson, R-Flower Mound. "It breaches the trust of taxpayers. And I would add that this is also stealing money that could be used to reimburse providers – the vast majority of whom are providing services honestly and in accordance with our laws."
Nelson's bill would make several changes to Medicaid-paid transportation services. According to news reports, South Texas van services hauled unaccompanied children to unusually high numbers of visits with speech, occupational and physical therapists. In Dallas and Houston, the commission has begun a pilot program in which a broker is paid an up-front fee and then has to make sure all needed van rides fit within that amount. Nelson's bill would take that managed care approach statewide.
After some transportation providers asked to testify against her bill, saying they fear they'd not be allowed to bid on the work, Nelson said she would work with them. She cajoled them to change their witness cards so they were shown as testifying "on" the bill, not "against" it.

I feel sorry for Tall Man.
Tall Man is the first nickname you ever used for your middle finger … the vertically blessed digit that stands nail and knuckles above all others. When the song announces his arrival in the final verse with the query "Where is Tall Man? Where is Tall Man?" 32 five-year olds shout out "HERE I AM! HERE I AM!" and simultaneously 64 middle fingers get flipped at the teacher showing her she's still number one in their book.
I bet whoever wrote that early education song had one heck of a laugh in the teacher's lounge over a cigarette.
Lately though, the shadow of some unsavory press has been laid at Tall Man's feet. Some wayward birds were spotted during the July 24 special meeting of Berkeley County Council. Due to that, some new parliamentary procedures have been implemented that seek to cage this free bird. Security will conduct a digit check at the door to ensure all eight fingers and both thumbs are acting uniformly and all pointing in the same direction, and that council meetings will not begin until all audience members' hands are neatly folded in their laps and everyone is facing obediently forward.
I felt like I'd taken a trip back to first grade when Supervisor Dan Davis recently asked an audience member to sit for the remainder of the meeting with his hands folded neatly in his lap.
He was not allowed to scratch, itch or pick at anything for the next hour while county council tried to show Berkeley County department heads that 1 + 1 = 3 when it came to figuring out a budget for the coming year.
You see, the Berkeley County Council meeting room has suddenly become a Tall Man No Fly Zone. You cannot scratch certain parts of your body with the hand's most prominent finger as you may send the wrong message. While clearly you have an itchy nose or a stubborn fleck of garnish stuck to your front tooth, you could be inadvertently telling members of County Council what you think of their job performance.
A little history if you will in regard to Tall Man.
According to truthorfiction.com, before the Battle of Agincourtin in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew."
I promise I'm not making this up.
Sadly for France, they lost the battle, and the English began using the middle finger as a rallying cry to mock the French in future battles. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture became known as "giving the bird."
Now, how the word "pluck" morphed into the more vulgar F-bomb, you figure coming from a nation and a time when brushing one's teeth happened about twice a year, it was simply easier to form the F sound than the PL sound.
So there you have it.
You see? It's never too late to learn something new.
I guess we should thank Berkeley County Council for that one.

What Are Flashes and Floaters?
What Are Flashes and Floaters?
Have you ever seen flashes of light, stars, or streaks that aren't really there? A few of these flashes are seen by everyone from time to time. Usually you see them in one eye at a time. Flashes are often caused by the vitreous (the gel filling the inside of your eye) pulling on the retina (a membrane that lines the inside of your eye). Floaters look like dark specks, clouds, threads, or spider webs moving through your vision. Most people see them once in a while. Floaters may be pieces of gel or other material floating inside your eye. They are usually harmless.
Who Gets Flashes?
As you age or if you are nearsighted (have fuzzy distance vision), you are more likely to see flashes. Sometimes, flashes are signs of other eye problems that need care.
Who Gets Floaters?
The older you get, the more likely you'll notice floaters. Floaters can also be caused by an eye injury or surgery. People who are very nearsighted also get more floaters. If floaters appear suddenly or greatly increase in number, they may be a sign of an eye problem that needs care.

Can't sign a new contract until the last year of the current one. Datsyuk has two years left, so no, Kenny can not yet sign him to a new contract.

Well, there are 2-ways of looking at it. If you extend him to 40 years of age this time next year, you would think you'd get a pretty cap friendly hit because of term and age. If you sign him to a higher per year cap hit when only signing him to a 2 year deal, what happens after 2 years if he performs at a very high level and you then need to re-sign him again for another 2 years? You could end up paying more in that scenario. That said, the odds are the other way around and he likely get more on a 4-5 year deal than going shorter term because skills will likely keep diminishing (just going by norms here, not saying it is fact). I highly doubt they'd want to sign him to a contract that keeps him here until 40 anyway, since there is a good chance he'd retire before then and they'd still be stuck with the cap hit.
I love Datsyuk, his one the reasons that this team has been so successful. First of all we can't resign him now because he still has two years left, we'd have to wait until July 1st, 2013. Signing him threw out 2018 is not one that I'm for tho, I'm not a huge fan on 4-5 year contracts after the age of 35. Datsyuk is 34 and by the time his contract is out he will be 36. I would much rather see a 2 year deal when his contracts over and afterwards as time progresses go with 1 year deals just like we did with Lidstrom. Would be much more cap friendly for us.

Can't sign a new contract until the last year of the current one. Datsyuk has two years left, so no, Kenny can not yet sign him to a new contract.
Whew, see, there you go! Glad we got that misconception cleared up, but it does make you wonder what percentage of people dumping on Holland this offseason is based on outright inaccuracies or impossibilities. (Including, by the way, that there was any sales pitch or reasonable structuring of money that could've talked either Parise or Suter into playing for Detroit next year).
Seriously, the pendulum has swung WAY too far in the opposite direction on Holland. Four Stanley Cups, turning super-talented players like Yzerman, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg into Winged Wheel "lifers", and pulling a Hossa signing out of a hat in a season when nobody even dreamed about it....and then one offseason of relative inactivity/bad luck and the man is absolute garbage. I don't get.
The ONLY guy this offseason that I thought we could reasonably get and who seemed interested in playing here that disappointed me was Alex Semin. I was bummed to see him sign a short-term deal somewhere else, when it wasn't even certain if that was possible.
But given what we know now about the lockout, and the fact that another major CBA shakeup (with possible revisions to the salary cap and even retroactive adjustments to contracts) seems very likely, I'm somewhat glad go around the free agent market making it rain. Are we as strong as we've been in recent years? No. Do I think we still have a very good team with quality players at goaltending, defense, and forward? Absolutely I do.

True. It's unbelievable that he is already 34 years old. Seems like just yesterday he was our promising rookie back in '02. He'll play here for a few more years and head to Russia to play the remainder of his hockey career. I'm thinking 2 or 3 more years of Pavel Datsyuk in Detroit. That is a scary thought.
Besides the fact that he can't negotiate a new contract yet....Datsyuk has made it clear that he doesn't want to be playing at 40 and that he wants to play in Russia again before the end of his career so to answer your question...No, Kenny can't lock him into the 2017-2018 season and it will have nothing to do with his ability as a GM if he can't.

Definitely a huge downer even thinking about that, it's a big part of why I'm extra upset about the lockout because I know his career won't last forever and I'd like to see as much of him as possible until then. Either way, Dats is a loyal guy and as long as he's in the NHL I think he will play for Detroit. It won't be Kenny's fault when he leaves.

Explore real solutions to reduce gun tragedies
So,once again, after an unimaginable tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, law-abiding citizens are going to come under fire for strict gun control. Anti-gunners are going to take this tragedy to further their agenda. Any sane person knows that only law-abiding citizens obey the law.
When I was a kid, we had to practice getting under our desks at school in case of a possible nuke attack from Russia. Yeah, laughable, I know. So what are we doing with this very real threat? Disarming is not the answer. Building design, access control, student-teacher training and information technology make much more sense!
We are a reactive society, not a proactive one. After every accident, every tragedy, we think: "How can we make sure this doesn't happen again?" Well, it's easy to say: "Get all the guns off the street." We all know that this will never work. Bad people will always find a way. How about a real solution?
