Char Valley comes back and beats South Fayette in WPIAL playoffs
Quit is a four-letter word that is not found in the vocabulary of the Chartiers Valley boys' basketball team.
For, despite falling behind by nine points on several occasions and once by 12, the Colts roared back and defeated rival South Fayette, 67-62, in a WPIAL Class AAA quarterfinal playoff game at Canon-McMillan.
"There's no quit in my guys," said CV floor boass Tim McConnell. "They are resilient."
They proved that especially in the fourth quarter when they trailed by nine points with 5:07 to play,
The Colts weathered the Lions' 12-2 run to start the final frame, a run that came on the heels of a wild third-quarter finish in which Michael Boulos scored a buzzer beater that afforded CV a 47-46 advantage.
Dom Castello ignited the rally when he buried the Colts' sixth, 3-point field goal of the game, then he stripped the ball from the Lions and dashed in for an uncontested lay-up to cut the margin to 58-56 with 3:44 to play.
"When we hit that three at the (third-quarter) buzzer, I thought we had all the momentum," explained McConnell, "but then they opened up the big lead.
"I wasn't really nervous because I thought we had a lot of time left. We just needed to get turnovers and one of the keys was Castello. Once we got the lead, I was confident because I love my guards. They get it done."
With 3:05 to play, Matty McConnell put the Colts ahead for good, 59-58, when he scored the first of eight free throws. CV scored 21 points on free throws while McConnell finished with 19 points in the contest.
Though not as sharp as McConnell from the charity stripe down the stretch, Boulos fired in a team-high 20 points. He ignited CV in the final moments of the third quarter.
With 22.4 seconds to play, he converted a four-point play to edge the Colts ahead by a point. Evan Bonnaure upped the ante with a trey to swing the game back into the Lions' favor. Boulos responded and buried the buzzer beater to lift CV into the lead, 47-46 after three.
South Fayette controlled much of the play in the game.
Thanks to three, 3-pointers by Zach Challingsworth, the Lions edged ahead, 12-10, after one period. They stretched a 20-14 to nine points twice in the second stanza, 31-22 and 33-24, before settling into a 35-30 halftime lead.
By scoring the first seven points of the second half, the Lions extended their lead over the Colts to 42-30, before McConnell and Castello combined to cut the margin to 43-38 with 1:10 to go in the third. McConnell buried a three-pointer then stole the ball and scored a bucket while Castello connected on another long-range shot. Castello finished with 13 points.
For the Lions, Challingsworth led all scorers with a game-high 21 points. He and Bonnaure each buried four, 3-pointers. South Fayette converted 10, 3-pointers while Bonnaure finished with 17 points.
"This was a classic game," said SF head coach Rich Bonnaure. "The best game. It's as all WPIAL playoff games should be.
"It was a great game between two great programs. We played our best and we brought out the best in them. If there is any consolation, then that is it. You want to bring out the best in your opponent. It was a great effort by both teams."
CV's effort, however, vaults them into the semifinals against Beaver on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at a site and time to be determined. The Colts, who improved to 21-3 overall, dropped a 59-55 decision to the Bobcats earlier this season.
The Lions dropped to 14-10 and must wait until the WPIAL playoffs conclude to see if they would earn a berth in the PIAA tournament as the fifth or sixth qualifier from the district.

Welcome to the thread. I hope you continue to enjoy NA. You may find this Masterscast interview -- in which I answered a lot of behind-the-scenes questions about NA -- to be interesting. http://masterscast.com/?p=46
Now to your questions and observations:
5. You're correct about Master Sebrian speaking in a Biblical manner. If you'll read my "Primus' identity to be revealed" thread -- and it's kind of fun to read the posts beginning-to-end in order -- you'll have an understanding of why he does so. http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...rimus+Revealed For a long time orgers had been speculating as to what Primus really was -- Earth at another time, Eternia at another time, etc. So I think we had a lot of fun with this thread that finally revealed Primus' true identity.
As for Sebrian, it's true I occasionally inject theological matters in a subtle way in my work and he was a vehicle for this. It's never my intention to foist my views upon others, and I always want to be respectful of other's belief or non-belief. So that's why I try to be subtle rather than heavy-handed. I also feel the Bible offers great stories and that they can work in other areas of entertainment as well, proven aptly by the Star Wars franchise. I get that you find Sebrian's manner of speaking it "unappealing", but bear in mind that that's your subjective opinion, which you are certainly entitled to and which I respect. But I've had many other fans that found it appealing.
6. Could you please clarify this question?
8. NA's character development, as you'll see when you watch the rest of the series, goes extremely deep. I've always felt that the best entertainment is character-driven -- i.e., what do characters think, what compells them to act as they do, how do they feel about each other? To me this makes them more relatable and makes viewers care more about them when they are in jeopardy than they would if the characters were simple one-dimensional creatures going at it in battle with each other. To put it another way, we may not be able to recall scene-by-scene what happens in each Star Wars fim, each Rocky film or each Spider-man film, but we that like those films can sit down and write chapter and verse on Han Solo's personality, Darth Vader's, Rocky Balboa's, Apollo Creed's, Spidey's. This is because of the depth of their characters created by the writers. It's characters, imo, that drive the dramatic thrust of a series, so my work is always character-driven.
10. Great question. The two waves of main characters -- e.g., He-man, Skelly, Slushhead, Flogg, Hydron, Flipshot, Sagitaur -- were designed by Mattel. Mattel, however, gave me the latitutde to develop some of my character, which I did with Sebrian, Grot, Drissi, Caz, the scientists (regrettably) and my personal favorite, Crita. In those cases I created and described the characters, just as I did with many of the characters that appeared in only one episode. In those cases the artists at KKC&D took my descriptions and did renderings of the characters.
11. The Mark Taylor you refer to is not the artist. Mark, now retired, was a television executive who began his career at DIC Entertainment and then moved to Jetlag and Columbia/Sony before becoming VP and General Manager of Nickelodeon for a long, long run. He's one of my oldest friends in the industry, a true gentleman and an inspirational producer. http://www.awn.com/news/people/mark-...imation-studio
12. I love the MOTUC NA characters. The Four Horsemen are geniuses, and I rarely use that term. I would be thrilled to see Crita become the next NA MOTUC character.

Robinson Township supervisors heard representatives from Range Resources detail plans for a property off of Midway-Candor Road during a conditional use hearing Tuesday.
The packed, two-hour hearing was part of the scheduled board of supervisors' meeting. Supervisors had hoped to make a ruling at the end of the meeting but ultimately decided to postpone their final decision to their next meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 10, citing a need for more time to review additional documents filed by Range.
Range Resources had submitted an application to drill a well site on the property of Micheale F. Parees and Robert M. Frame off of Midway-Candor Road.
Engineers for Range laid out their plans to extract natural gas from the 168-acre property located on top of the Marcellus Shale formation, currently used for agricultural purposes. Range public affairs specialist Adrian Makocic said drilling operations would be beyond 1,000 feet from the nearest residence - the township's minimum setback distance.
Attorney Shawn Gallagher, representing Range Resources, said the energy company planned to build between three and six wells on the Parees property. If approved, Range would lay down a 1,700-foot gravel access road during a construction period said to last between four and six weeks. The access road would wind from Beech Hollow Road through the property and exit onto Midway-Candor Road. Both entrances would be paved to minimize debris on township roadways.
The proposed well pad would also be constructed of gravel rather than cement and no treatment pond would be built on-site as engineers proposed using the large, green "baker" tanks to store the liquid resulting from the hydraulic fracturing process. Natural gas extracted on the site would be brought to market using an underground pipeline.
During a "staging" phase, establishing tanks would transport 100,000 barrels of water to the site using 700 truckloads over a six-day period. During this period, the well site would receive up to 70 truckloads of water per day and 20 trucks of sand.
Each well would take four to six weeks to construct and the extraction period would last from three to six weeks per well. There would be flare-off operations on the site.
Board members and energy officials could not agree on whether "bunkhouse" trailers on the site to house workers would violate a township ordinance. Gallagher said the lodging was necessary because drill workers would be extracting gases on a 24-hour basis.
Markocic said area emergency personnel would be given an orientation of the site before drilling operations began. First responders would be trained in emergency preparedness at no cost to the township.
It was hard to gauge the feelings of the about 50 residents who filled the township building to capacity. During public comment, no one offered their thoughts despite the encouragement of the supervisors.
Gallagher objected to the board's motion to reconvene the meeting in December, but supervisors said they needed more time to digest Range's documents.
"I don't think it's reasonable for me to look at this in one day," said Chairman Brian Coppola as he held the booklet of Range documents entered into evidence - about the size of an encyclopedia volume. "I haven't looked at this before tonight… If I can read through this and I don't have any questions" supervisors will vote in favor of the conditional use approval in December.
The board was also scheduled to hear testimony regarding the conditional use application of Roger and Susan Kendall. However, the board granted a request by Range to reschedule the Kendall hearing until the Dec. 10 meeting in order to prepare documents.
Earlier this year, Kendall filed a complaint to the Pennsylvania Utility Commission arguing the board of supervisors violated Act 13 provisions mandating that Harrisburg have final say in zoning regulations, setting off a review of the township ordinance. That review request was later withdrawn.
Supervisors also announced their preliminary budget during Tuesday's meeting. The Robinson Township 2013 fiscal budget would include revenues and expenditures both totaling $530,899. The homeowners' tax rate would stay the same at 3 mills. Tax revenues for the municipality were estimated at $378,828 and the township's greatest expense was the highway fund at $196,171.

1 Pay to Play and Gov. Bill Richardson
SFR was a little sad when Gov. Richardson and New Mexico's pay-to-play scandal emerged as readers' No. 1 pick in this category. Not because we disagree, but because explaining this complicated multifaceted story in 100 words or so may be impossible. With a broad brush, here are six talking points you can use if it comes up at party:
1. "Pay to play" refers generally to the idea of companies and people receiving state business, contracts et al in exchange for making political contributions.
In regard to the federal investigation that kicked all this off, the term refers to the allegation that CDR Financial Products received a $1.5 million contract in exchange for donations it made to Richardson-related political action committees.
2. The grand jury investigation into this situation is the reason Richardson had to bow out as Obama's commerce secretary.
3. No one has been indicted as of yet, but the grand jury investigation was reportedly given to the US Attorney General's Office.
4. GRIP-gate is not a catchy name for this scandal, but it refers to Governor Richardson's Investment Partnership, the project for which CDR performed complicated financial services.
5. It's entirely possible readers weren't thinking of GRIP-gate per se or pay to play in general. They might have been thinking of the other ongoing investigation into the millions and millions and millions of dollars politically connected (to Richardson) "third party marketers," such as Marc Correra, made from helping companies secure finance-related state contracts via the State Investment Council. This scandal also is at the heart of at least two lawsuits and the subject of yet another Justice Department probe.
6. Gov. Richardson has denied any wrongdoing.

Tots test toys
Ryan Kalocay of Bethel Park had no idea he was testing a new toy in a competition for the Top 10 preschooler-approved toys in the country.
At 11 months, Ryan just liked the way the brightly colored toy looked and fit so well in his month without presenting a choking hazard, something his teachers liked.
Ryan was one of about 130 students in the Goddard School for Early Childhood Development in Peters Township to partake in a week-long toy test. Of the hundreds of Goodard School franchises across the country, the Peters Township school was one of only 37 schools to participate.
The students, ages 6 weeks to 6 years, were being introduced to about 20 new educational toys, not yet on store shelves. The toys were all age-appropriate, hence the reason Ryan had a set of stackable, multi-colored cups that resembled oversized half-egg shells.
Lori Santo, who owns the school with her husband, Robert, explained that the students played with the toys, and their reactions were evaluated by classroom teachers who filled out the paperwork for the test. The school got to keep the toys.
The older students were questioned on their preferences. For the younger groups, like Ryan's, teachers consider a number of factors, such as how long each toy holds a youngster's attention.
"This was a lot of fun, not just for the kids but the teachers," said Amanda White, school director. The parents were notified before the test week began.
"And this will give the parents an idea of what to get (the children) for Christmas," White said.
Participaing toy brands included ALEX Toys B, Chicco, Citiblocs, Faber-Castell/Creativity for Kids, Fat Brain Toys, Green Toys and several others.
The Citiblocs Hot Colors was a hit in the preschool room for students ages 3 and 4.
"The teachers said this is one toy the kids love," White said.
In the baby room, Santo said all of the toys help the children use all five of their senses. Halfway into the test week, Santo said there wasn't one toy the students didn't like.
Once all of the surveys were completed, a list of the Top 10 favorite educational toys will be announced Oct. 22.
Santo said if a particular toy is favored by a significant number of students, she will buy more of that toy.
A child's creative side of the brain is almost 80 percent developed by the age of 10, Santo explained, so having stimulating toys at an early age is important.
Meanwhile, Ryan didn't care about the educational value of the toy he was chewing on, or how it was helping the creative side of his brain form. He just liked the bright colors and how it tasted.

CHARLEROI – A Charleroi Area High School senior was arrested on a warrant Friday accusing him of making pipe bombs, one of which created a scare on the campus.
District Judge Larry Hopkins remanded Ryan Pfrogner, 18, of Lower Speers, to the Washington County jail on $50,000 during the teen's arraignment on a felony charge of risking a catastrophe and misdemeanor counts of making offensive weapons and reckless endangerment.
"These are serious charges," Hopkins said when the Pfrogner appeared before him in court.
The teen initially was facing an additional charge of bringing a weapon onto school property after school officials alerted Charleroi Regional police Nov. 20 that Pfrogner allegedly confessed to once having a pipe bomb stored in his car while it was parked in the school parking lot. Investigators conducted a search of the Fallowfield Township school without finding any weapons.
The Washington County district attorney's office withdrew that case Dec. 28 and refiled a new complaint based on evidence relating to pipe bombs found at the student's home.
Police searched his residence at 136 River St. Nov. 20 and said they seized two small, live PVC pipe bombs in his bedroom and bomb-making supplies in a workshop in the residence, court records show.
Pfrogner was released from the jail Friday afternoon after posting bond. His attorney, Ralston S. Jackson of Pittsburgh, did not return a call seeking comment.
Hopkins scheduled Pfrogner's preliminary hearing for 10 a.m. Thursday.

After months of being referred to as The Untitled Britney Spears Album, the singer has at long last confirmed that the title of her eighth (!) studio album—out December 3—is her first and middle name Britney Jean.
This is her second self-titled album since Britney in 2001. Are we to believe that this choice reflects a more personal album? Based on its first single "Work Bitch," probably not.
Let's look at some of the first name/middle name combos of today's divas and see who else might consider the choice for their next album.
Katy Perry: Katheryn Elizabeth
Taylor Swift: Taylor Alison
Rihanna: Robyn Rihanna
Ke$ha: Kesha Rose
Miley Cyrus: Miley Ray or Destiny Hope
P!nk: Alecia Beth
Beyonce: Beyonce Giselle
Madonna: Madonna Louise
Nicki Minaj: Onika Tanya
Avril Lavigne: Avril Ramona
Carrie Underwood: Carrie Marie
Well, we can all agree that Britney Jean certainly has a better ring to it than Avril Ramona. What do you think of Spears' choice?

Who has the answer?
Remember last year when the Penguins weren't able to answer what the Philadelphia Flyers were doing on the way to knocking them out of the playoffs in six games? The 2013 playoffs are still two months away but, based on what happened Wednesday at the Consol Energy Center, the Penguins' coaching staff still hasn't come up with an answer to whatever it is that the Flyers are doing.
Adjusting to opponents is one of the most important things a good coach has to do. Especially when those adjustments have to be made on the fly. So, of course, it's time to panic and assume that there is no way the Penguins can hope to get past the Flyers if they face them in the playoffs.
Unless, of course, you take into account that the Penguins have won three of the last five games against the Flyers, including a solid, dominating win in the season opener. That's not to say that the Penguins shouldn't take a lesson from their meltdown Wednesday night. When you get the Flyers down by two or more goals, don't change the way you played to get that lead and don't get goaded into penalties that allow the Flyers to get back in the game.
Here's hoping they don't avoid each other in the playoffs. How could that game Wednesday night not leave a good hockey fan wanting more?
• The Steelers' locker room is/was fractured if you listen to Antonio Brown. He said on ESPN that it was divided between players who care more about team goals and players who were more interested in their own statistics. Ryan Clark also admitted that there might have been some dissension.
General manager Kevin Colbert said that he and coach Mike Tomlin had talked to players since the end of the season and they disagree.
Guess what? There is/was a problem in the Steelers' locker room. When players say there was a problem, there was a problem. Because, if there are players saying there's a problem when there isn't a problem, then you have a problem.
The Steelers are 8-9 in their last 17 games, going back to the loss to the Broncos in the 2011 playoffs. They have lost a lot of solid citizens in the last few years – Jerome Bettis, James Farrior, Aaron Smith, Hines Ward – and they've been replaced by too many immature players.
Three of those four solid citizens – Bettis, Smith and Ward – go all the way back to the Tom Donahoe/Bill Cowher regime. Mike Tomlin needs to start bringing in and/or developing some solid citizens of his own. Colbert needs to draft and/or sign more Troy Polamalus and Brett Keisels and fewer Santonio Holmeses, Mike Wallaces and Rashard Mendenhalls. The jury is still out on Brown.
It's about more than just talent.
• Tavon Austin of West Virginia was telling people at this week's NFL Scouting Combine that he is the best all-around player in the draft. I'm not sure I disagree with him.
I don't know what kind of citizen he is, and I don't care what his combine numbers are. I do know that I haven't seen a more dangerous college football player in the last two years. He's a small, quick, explosive, elusive wide receiver and kick returner. He might not have the straight-ahead speed of Mike Wallace, but he is every bit as fast as Wallace with a football in his hands. Austin's also quicker and more elusive.
Assuming that there aren't any red flags that would keep teams from drafting him, the Steelers would be insane to pass on Austin if he's still on the board when it comes time for them to pick in the 17th spot. Putting him and Brown on the field together would create serious problems for opposing defensive coordinators, and he's the kind of player who is always a threat to turn a dink or a dunk into a big play. Just like Brown.
• It's scary to think of the New England Patriots' offense with Austin in the slot.
• One of these days, when I get the time, I'm going to do some research to determine whether smaller NFL players are any more likely to be injured than regular-sized and larger players. I have a feeling that it is a myth.
• The Pirates accomplished the two worst second-half collapses in the history of Major League Baseball in 2011 and 2012, then gave their manager a contract extension. What else do you need to know? That's not to say that the collapses were Clint Hurdle's fault, but it does either raise serious questions about the value of a manager or the Pirates' ridiculously low expectations. Probably both.
When a team that's serious about winning "accomplishes" what the Pirates "accomplished" the last two seasons, somebody has to be fired.
John Steigerwald writes a Sunday column for the Observer-Reporter.

Styling Steps
1 . Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
2 . Use a Blow-dryer and Fingers to Dry Your Hair Off
Using your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.
3 . Use Large Hot Rollers
A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.
4 . Apply Hot Rollers Through the Back
Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
5 . Apply Hot Rollers Vertically to the Side
Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
6 . Piece the Ends Using Wax
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
7 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
8 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

I received my last parcel from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion from back in November, just this week. Crazy that it took so long, I even contacted Digital River but they wasn't much help. Thankfully I now have my Clawful, Skeletor and Battleground Evil-Lyn.
Then Parcel Force delivered Procrustus, Mosquitor and Stratos on Thursday. Procrustus is easily my favourite giant!!!
Plus I already have Granamyr and Netossa thanks to the faster shipping method I opted for this year, so I'm all caught up. I wasn't thrilled with Netossa at first, but I keep finding myself admiring the sculpt so I'm of the complete opposite opinion now. She's an exceptional figure. A really beautiful toy.
Also won a few bids on ebay for some great 200x items - still have my eye on a few more actually. So far it's been a pretty cool month as a He-Man collector.
Can't wait for February though and am especially excited about Jitsu. Will probably pick up a double of him. Also planning on picking up 2 extra Ram Man figures (one for my son, plus a spare for me) on top of the one that comes with my sub. Those guys are gonna sell out so fast its not even funny.

They posted signs around the hall, affixed stickers to their shirts, tied purple and gold balloons to the podium, and chanted vigorously in a crowded semicircle.
With earnest enthusiasm and determination, members of the Service Employees International Union at Washington Hospital rallied around their cause Wednesday: a fair labor contract.
"What do we want?" shouted Zach Zobrist, SEIU vice president of SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania.
"Contract!" the crowd retorted.
"When do we want it?"
The union, representing 400-plus service workers at the hospital – about one-fourth of the 1,700 employed there – had a spirited rally Wednesday afternoon in the banquet room at Alpine Lanes in Washington. An audience of about 120 SEIU members and supporters heard and cheered the speakers, including state Rep. Jesse White, D-Cecil Township, and Zobrist.
With many wearing union colors – purple and gold – and bearing stickers proclaiming "RESPECT Our Union Our Rights," the crowd expressed its desire for a new contract – the existing one will expire today – while firmly opposing health care concessions they said the hospital is seeking.
Officials at Washington Hospital could not be reached for comment.
The union also said starting salaries for some jobs would be lowered and that ending the seniority-based structure of the union has been proposed.
On Monday, the SEIU rejected management's latest contract proposal then notified the hospital a strike notice of Feb. 12.
"They say cutback, we way fight back," union members and supporters shouted in unison.
"None of us wants to strike," said Brenda Fields, a unit secretary and 14-year employee from Washington. "We want to keep the hospital moving. But at the same time, we have to stand up for ourselves. They want to raise health-care coverage so high, it will be out of reach for some workers."
"We have to have health care and it has to be affordable," said Tina Harding of Bentleyville, a unit secretary with 8 1/2 years in at the hospital. "We can't afford what the CEO is paying. If he can pay it, more power to him. We can't."
Cindi Ellis, a nursing assistant, said: "We are the heart and soul of Washington Hospital. If you don't have us, what do you have?"
Referring to out-of-staters attracted to the gas and oil industry here, White asked the audience, "How many Texas license plates did you see in the parking lot?"
"The people in this room are the backbone of the Washington County community," White said. "This is what the trenches look like. People here are not looking for extraordinary wages, but fair ones.
"If you want a strong economy and good jobs, they should be for everybody."
Zobrist, who lives in Pittsburgh, and members of the SEIU negotiating team arrived a little late because of talks with management Wednesday. It was the eighth session since early December, with the final scheduled negotiations taking place today.
"We're certainly prepared to negotiate any date until Feb. 12," Zobrist said.
The sessions, he said, have been lengthy – about seven hours Wednesday, 10 on Tuesday. Zobrist would not say whether there was progress. "We want the workers to have affordable health care."
So does Sally Berdine of Richeyville, a housekeeping utility worker with 18 years of service. She also is acting president of the hospital's SEIU chapter.
"We want fair wages for a fair day's work," she said. "People say they're afraid of Obamacare. I'm afraid of Washington Hospital care."

WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — Chesapeake Energy has received the first permit in Ohio County for a labor camp.
The Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department recently issued the permit to Chesapeake for several natural gas drilling sites.
Chesapeake spokeswoman Jacque Bland tells The Intelligencer and Wheeling-News Register that the company always has had trailers with septic systems at its drilling sites. But new permitting requirements in Ohio County now define the units as labor camps.
Ohio County requires companies to obtain a labor camp permit for sites where at least 10 people are working or living.
Health department administrator Howard Gamble says other counties have labor camps for agriculture and farming, and some have issued permits for oil and gas operations.

CM Big Macs advance to wrestling finals
Canon-McMillan defeated Kiski, 36-24, and advanced to the finals in the WPIAL Class AAA team wrestling tournament.
The Big Macs faced Franklin Regional, a 28-27 winner over North Allegheny in the other semifinal, Feb. 2 at Chartiers Valley in the title match. The Big Macs, who have been Class AAA champion for the past three seasons, were ranked No. 1 while the Panthers were ranked No. 2.
The road to the finals was not easily paved as the Big Macs overcame an 10-0 deficit, dropping the first three bouts by close decisions. Steve Lefrance, Alex Campbell and Angelo Broglia suffered the defeats at 195, 220 and heavyweight.
CM, however strung together big wins in the next four matches and erased that margin. They turned it into a 23-10 advantage thanks to a technical fall by Brendon Price, a forfeit to Macri Dalton and falls by Joshua Minor and Connor Schram.
The Cavaliers won three of the next four, with Alec Hutchin getting the lone CM decision at 138, to pull within, 26-21. However, Sammy Minor and Cody Wiercioch iced the contest for CM. Minor posted a 9-0 major decision at 160 while Wiercioch recorded the fall at 170.
In Class AA action, South Fayette earned its first berth in a WPIAL team wrestling final when the Lions decisioned Jefferson-Morgan, 37-23. In the other semifinal, No. 1 Burrell defeated Chartiers-Houston, 37-30.
Grant and Mike Fetchet had falls for the Lions as did Zach Walker. Seth Carr recorded a major decision.
Jasper Wolf, Jared Cardillo, Shane Ging and Jared Walker had the other wins for SF.
Rich McGinnis, Tanner Sutton, Jimmy Saieva and Garrett Vulcano posted pins in CH's loss.
Despite the defeat, CH had an opportunity to qualify for the PIAA team tournament when it faced Jefferson-Morgan Feb. 2 in the consolation match also at Chartiers Valley.

Hi Kim.....sending big hugs to you>hope life is being good to you.lots of love.xxx
Thinking of YOU and hoping you're OK....Love and Hugs, Jeannette
Doing ok, now retired health is better. Having insurance problems need to handle. Otherwise doing good. Hope you are doing better. Hugs
Kiml......no problem....turns out I had a biopsy done and have another auto immune disease called lichen sclerosis. It is nothing scary. They say it's a thinning of the skin...as of now I have no symptoms..just some fyi to be aware of. Have a good week.
Oh Kim, I AM SO SORRY you are a mother of an alcoholic....... I have you in my heart and my thoughts..... Love and Hugs
Hi Kim; I can completely understand your fear and your anxiousness awaiting the results. Please consider that stress not only affects Lupus, it can also leave us susceptible to other diseases and can worsen other conditions. You must try to control your stress and alleviate your panic attacks. As my Oncologist told me "Even the worse news has treatment options". So, please do not worsen your condition with undue stress. Especially when, at this juncture, you have no definitive answers to stress about. Once you receive the results and/or diagnosis and if they do indicate something serious, you must then concentrate all of your energies on treatment and lifestyle changes in order to fight and win that battle. Stress and panic will only serve to hamper you in that fight and prevent you from doing what is necessary to win! Take a deep breath and know that, whatever it may be, you will work through it and conquer it!! You are not alone!
I continue to progress well in my recuperation. I know that I still have a long road ahead of me, but I am taking each step with grateful appreciation for where I am in that moment! {{{hugs}}}
glad you a surviving your close quarters.
slightly overcrowded !!!!!!!
at least you are not soaked as well.
flooding would not be good for you.
Hi Kim, ive not been online that much lately,but im sending you gentle hugs and hope you are feeling well as can be.Lots of love,xxxxx
thank you i hope that your christmas is filled with love warm hugs

Three years ago, the owner of Brother's Pizza was looking for a house with everything.
Howie Powell was 31, had never owned a home, and figured his quest may take awhile. Then on one of his early forays, he stepped inside a house in the Tylerdale section of Washington, a working-class section of Washington, that had been flipped by a buddy, Lew Golubosky.
The search was over instantly.
"I walked in where the carpet met (the floor), looked around, saw Lew in the kitchen, and said, 'It's mine.' It was, literally, one-stop shopping."
This was Powell's vision of a house with everything and more – sparkling, spacious, chic, with an opulent spiral staircase, an eclectic mix of woods and paint colors, a Minneapolis-sized bathroom, recessed lighting . . .
Following his joyous shoutout, he turned to Golubosky's wife, Leslie, the listing agent from Century 21 Frontier Realty, to begin the purchasing process. Powell moved into the Wellington Avenue home that April, the one his contractor calls "my work of art."
And the one in which he outdid Picasso.
Powell's future home was in a condemned state when Golubosky purchased it for $9,000 in 2007. He painstakingly tore out, then rebuilt the place over the better part of a year. His wife wasn't able to sell it immediately, but eventually did to a very satisfied client.
The sales price: $182,000.
It is a work of art, but it's not Golubosky's only work. For nearly three decades, he has been doing minor upgrades, major renovations and outright flips of houses in Washington County.
The owner of Lewis Golubosky Contracting has turned a teenage passion into a satisfying vocation, one in which he is in demand – especially on Wellington, where he also resides. He said a few friends help with certain projects, but that his company is basically "a one-man operation."
"This is my passion. If I have a hammer in my hand, I'm happy. I'd rather dig a ditch than do nothing," said Golubosky, 48, a stocky man with a shaved head and three jobs. He also has been a Frito-Lay salesman for 29 years, in the Wheeling-Steubenvile area, and assists Leslie with her company, Lewis' Dusting Angels, which cleans houses and businesses.
Leslie, in turn, is a valuable asset to his house-flipping endeavors. "She finds them and I buy and build them," her husband said.
These days, he flips over flipping: Golubosky has bought, renovated and sold 13 houses, all in the city. Four of his flips are on his street, where his roots run deep.
Golubosky grew up on Wellington Avenue, next door to his current home and a few houses down from Powell. He said he lived on nearby Duncan Avenue for 16 years, "but I had to move back. I missed it. Tylerdale is where I'm from."
Not only has he flipped four houses on Wellington, he has worked on five others. Five of those nine are strung together, three with decorative front walls erected by Golubosky.
This remodeling enhances the neighborhood and the city's tax rolls.
"Lew is the overseer of our street," Powell said.
Golubosky's enthusiasm for this vocation goes back to his ninth-grade wood shop class at Washington High School, from which he graduated in 1983. Allan Quackenbush was the instructor and Golubosky quickly embraced the curriculum.
"Guy Montecalvo and Allan Quackenbush have been my mentors," said Goluboski, an offensive guard on the varsity football team Montecalvo coached.
Quackenbush did remodeling and construction work outside of school back then and had Golubosky work with him for a few summers. Their first project together was the law offices of Washington attorney Jim McCune.
Contacted in Florida, where he lives part of the year, Quackenbush remembered the teenage Golubosky as being "like a sponge. He couldn't absorb enough knowledge. It would be wonderful if teachers could reach all of the students the way I did with him."
Pupil and pedagogue still speak to one another often.
"Lew tells me all the time that if were not for me, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing," said Quackenbush, 67, who also has a home in Taylorstown. "He's very conscientious. He works hard and does the right things. You hear so many stories about contractors today. It's a joy that there are some who are interested in doing the job correctly."
Powell can attest to that.
"Being a restaurant worker, I don't have time to do upgrades myself," said Powell, who also has a second job. He owns Howard Powell Jr. Trucking in Meadow Lands.
"Lew restored this house top to bottom. There are so many things he did, and it's breathtaking. All I've had to do is sit on the couch and smile.
"He said this is the 40th-some house he's remodeled, and this is the one he shows off."
Golubosky is proud to do so. This, after all, is his work of art.
"One Realtor said there was no way anyone could sell a house for $180,000 here," he said. "I made up my mind to do that here."

Name: Haley Sutton
School: Chartiers-Houston
Class: Junior
Sport: Softball
Sutton's week: Sutton went 5-for-11 with two home runs, a triple, five runs scored and four RBI during three wins for the Chartiers-Houston softball team at the Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, S.C., last Friday and Saturday.
"She's seeing the ball really well right now," Bucs coach Tricia Alderson said. "I'm glad that we had the opportunity to play some games because her swing looks great."
New season, new role: With the graduation of catcher Colby Miller and shortstop Rachel Tucker, the Bucs are looking for someone to fill those rather sizable shoes.
Sutton, who has started since her freshman year, hopes to take over one of those roles.
"Last year, Colby was our hero," Sutton said. "We all looked up to her. We knew no matter what, Colby was going to come through for us. This year, it's one of those things where we don't have someone like that to look up to. We're kind of all at the same level. I feel like it's something I should do: step up for my team."
Guess hitting .455 fits in that category. Same for getting on base at a .636 clip.
She'll play anywhere: If Alderson tapped Sutton on the shoulder and asked her to stand on top of the left-field fence, it's doubtful the junior would argue.
Sutton played third base as a freshman and sophomore but moved to third this season. She's also seen some time at shortstop and catcher in practice.
"She can player anywhere we need her to in the infield," Alderson said. "It's great for us because she's very versatile. She doesn't care where she's playing. She just wants to contribute and do whatever she can to help the team."
Sutton jokes that maybe she should stick to the infield, but still wouldn't protest if Alderson asked her to move out there.
"If they tell me to play at third … I love third," Sutton said. "If they tell me to go second, I'll be the best second baseman you've ever seen. If they want me to catch, I'll do my best."
Head on the ball: Sutton admits she's "the worst head-puller in the world." But this offseason, she borrowed a tee from her neighbor and hit the same bag of softballs in her garage for hours at a time.
"Everything is coming together for me," Sutton said. "This year, I'm finally keeping my head on the ball."
Outside interests: Softball is only part of what Sutton is about. She's also a cheerleader and rides horses. She's a member of the local 4H club and participates in International Barrel Racing Association competitions for horseback riding.
She carries a 4.2 quality-point average and indulged her equine passion at last year's state science fair with a project on how horses are affected by wind.
"I always get really into what I'm doing," said Sutton, whose team has won the past two WPIAL Class A softball titles. "Right now, it's softball, so I'm all about that. I'm excited for the upcoming season. I can't wait to see where we go this year."

Are the tusks meant to be part of the character's body or just part of his armor? If the later, what are the tusks used for that would make a fella wear such an armor?
Thinking about NA in MOTUC the other day, I realized that Tuskador could be easily made into a MOTUC figure using alot of existing parts. He doesn't need a lot of new tooling. I was playing around with photoshop and put together this quick mock up of a MOTUCized Tuskador.
He is one of the coolest NA figures and one that could look great MOTUCized.
As you will see he shares a lot of parts with Trap Jaw and Optikk.
He only practically needs a new head and armor.
The armor could be removable like every other MOTUC in the line so far and that would allow us to see his face like in the cartoon when he wasn't using his armor.

Are the tusks meant to be part of the character's body or just part of his armor? If the later, what are the tusks used for that would make a fella wear such an armor?
You want to know how he uses those tusks? here is an example for ya:
Well, personally, I must say that I'd prefer to see Snout Spout released way before Tuskador.
In NA, Tuskador is one of my least wanted figures. If Tuskador is made and if he looks exactly like the old NA Tuskador, I shall pass.
I feel the head and armor need to be completely redone. The 4 Horsemen should rethink his look, and make it cooler.
There are figures in NA that I bought as NA characters, accepting the fact that some looked quite lame and would be "canon fodder". HOWEVER, if such figures are released looking equally cheap and lame in MOTUC andn costing more than $20, I won't buy them. It is the case for Tuskador.
I hope I didn't hurt your feelings, Mike, but honestly, Tuskador is a character that needs to be redone and retooled. Personally, I must say that he's not a figure I expect to see soon. I wouldn't be happy to see him produced before Snout Spout.
There are many other figures I expect to see first in the "Galactic Protectors", like Sagitar, the never produced yet Darius, Kayo, Hydron, Spinwit, Flipshot and even Nocturna. But I hope characters such as Artilla, Tuskador and Vizar will be released later on, will be worked on and greatly improved (Artilla's face and general look were really terrible, and that is the kind of mistake and flaw I won't accept with MOTUC).

I'd love to see Tuskador- one of my faves from the NA line. As you say, the armor would need to be a unique sculpt but mostly everything else is reusable- although I'm expecting to see Hydron or Flipshot first for the goodies.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Dylamug - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets - King Ahgo - Filmation Grizzlor, Mantenna, Leech, Modulok and Multi-Bot
Not at all man. I just see a lot of potencial in this guy.
He could be turned into a great figure in the hands of the 4H.
And maybe we could see him sooner than we think.
And to be honest I really like this character.
Absolutely. But they would need to change the look of the head and armor.He could be turned into a great figure in the hands of the 4H.
There is also a minor problem : the tusks were part of an action feature. I don't see the need for such cumbersome tusks without a working action feature (and we know there won't be that kind of action feature anyway)... So I wonder what look the 4 Horsemen will give to Tuskador. They might make him look awesome. But if the receive the order from Mattel to make him look as much as possible as the original, I'll pass, that's for sure. Anyway, it will certainly be interesting to see how Tuskador's sculpt will come to life.
Personally, I hope the 4 Horsemen will be able to make great improvements, just like what they did for Snout Spout's face in the Staction line.

He just needs an " attitude" sculpt this time.
I am sure they are not gonna use the bent tusks like the original. They'll probably look more like normal tusks this time.
Kinda like this:
Very cool mock-up. This character needs a cool weapon. I hope to see more of your NA character into MOTUC mock ups...
Not one of my top NA characters, but you did a great job on this mock-up, Mike. For the most part I wouldn't mind some of the parts from Trap-Jaw and Kronis being used on him, though I would prefer that Mattel went the extra mile and did something more with his shoulder pieces. A bit too plain for this character, IMO.
I hope the 4h can do there magic on these NA guys. I'd Definately do Snout Spout before Tuskador. Seems like the Original creation of these guys were inspired by M.A.S.K. They're all so boxy and have weird helmets.
Wow very cool! i hope someone sees your designs and makes a custom off of him. I could see him and Ram-Man used as a battering squad to break through enemy ranks.
absolutly! tuskador was one of my favorite characters from NA! thats an awesome moc up too! id buy that in a heartbeat
personally,for the helmet and the armour i'd like to see something looking like in the picture attached.
the customizers is hordaks henchman.
but, for me, the real question is how to call him: tuskador or insyzor?!?
autoedit: forget to tell it before: great mock up, mike!

Great mock-up of Tuskador!
He'll make a great addition to MOTUC.
However, I hope to see other NA characters before the release of Tuskador.
I'd love to see these New Adventures characters first:
Slush Head (Kalamarr), Flogg (Brakk), Lizorr, NA Skeletor, Crita,

yeah! he'd be awesome, i really would like one. i think all the NA figures were badly made though, so awful looking - i'm sure in that respect the motuc version will look nothing like it.
Man, there are just so many figures that can be made from Trap Jaw legs, the Man E Faces crotch, and the Kronis arms.
Great mock-up! I will happily accept Tuskador into my home when he gets made.

Tuska who? Like Spectror already mentioned I'd rather have a Snout Spout before this guy.
I haven't gotten to my NA DVDs yet, so I have no idea who this is, but I'd buy him!

they could make the shoulderpads be attached at the torso like Trap Jaw's Chest Armor. It would limit the shoulder Articulation a little bit on Tuskador unfortunately.
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!

Very nice as always! I definitely prefer the Filmation/prototype colors because I think they pop more. But of course I wouldn't mind a repaint later.
How do you imagine her disc will be attached? It seems like her hair will make it difficult to attach to her back... and my preference would be that the disc is able to spin.

Rangers stave off elimination, force Game 5 with OT win over Bruins
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Henrik Lundqvist called it "the ugliest goal I've ever seen," but to the New York Rangers it was so, so beautiful. Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask's slip in the second period allowed Carl Hagelin to score the easiest goal of his career and turned Game 4 around.
"It gave us some life," said Rangers head coach John Tortorella. "It's funny how it works, huh?"
From that moment on, the Rangers played inspired hockey and woke up a Madison Square Garden crowd who grew restless after the Bruins took a 2-0 lead 7:41 into the second period. The energized arena reached its peak 7:03 into overtime when Chris Kreider redirected a Rick Nash pass to give the Rangers a 4-3 win, staving off elimination yet again:
The Rangers fought off elimination for a third time this postseason and will attempt to do so again on Saturday in Boston facing a 3-1 deficit.
Like Thursday night, Game 5 for the Rangers will be pressure-free. The expectations surrounding this team have changed drastically since January, and after digging themselves an 0-3 hole, handshakes were expected on the MSG ice Thursday night. That hockey tradition will be delayed for at least one more game.
"We're breathing. We have a long road to go," said Tortorella. "We just need to think about one more game and that's in Boston."
It's way too early to start talking about the 2010 Bruins team that blew a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers. Many of the 2013 Bruins were on that team and remember full well how that series slowly began to slip away. Bruins head coach Claude Julien will certainly examine the failings in Game 4 to ensure that there is a handshake line takes place after Game 5.
Everything the Bruins did successfully through the first three games didn't work in Game 4. Boston allowed New York to score their first power play goal since Game 4 against the Washington Capitals in the opening round. And after holding the Rangers to only one goal in third periods all series, Thursday night the Bruins allowed two. Both were game-tying.
"There is no panic here," said Julien. "Had we been outworked and not been there at all, we would be talking differently here. But we didn't get outworked, and all it was, as a team, was we didn't execute as well as we have been. Our work ethic was there, but the things that we did extremely well [before] weren't that easy [tonight]."
No panic in Boston. No pressure in New York. One game to win for the Bruins. One big challenge for the Rangers.
"We should have some fun with this and don't think about what you have to climb, think about the next game," said Tortorella.

Federal stimulus funds that support Medicaid will dry up in June, leaving state governments to support much more of the program. Meanwhile, Medicaid enrollment has been rising across the nation due to the economic downturn. The PBS NewsHour has obtained budgetary data from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services revealing how much Medicaid costs will increase for each state in fiscal 2012.
States that list the 2012 projected budget deficit as "N/A" include those that have indicated they will not have a budget shortfall in 2012 (ND, WY, AR, and AK) and those that will have a shortfall but have not said how large it will be (NH, TN, DC and AL).

CANONSBURG (AP) — Generic drug maker Mylan Inc. says it will buy Agila Specialties for $1.6 billion in cash, expanding its offerings of injectable drugs and its sales in international markets.
Southpointe-based Mylan is buying Agila from Strides Arcolab. It could pay Strides another $250 million based on other undisclosed conditions. Mylan said the deal will give it new generic injectable drugs and will help it enter the market in emerging markets like Brazil.
Mylan expects the Agila purchase will add to its earnings. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
Both Agila and Strides are based in India.
Mylan is one of the biggest generic drug companies in the world. Its sales grew 11 percent to $6.8 billion in 2012.

Millcraft Industries Chief Financial Officer Brian Walker stormed out of city hall Thursday night after Washington City Council shot down the company's request to amend the tax increment financing plan for the Crossroads Center building.
"I'm very disappointed with the vote," said Walker, adding he will now have to go back to Millcraft's board to determine how the company wants to proceed.
Just moments earlier, during the public comment portion of the council meeting and prior to council's vote, Walker's demeanor was much more pleasant as he thanked council for the time and effort it had given to the TIF proposal.
But, little did he know his hopes for the amended TIF plan would be quashed by a 3-2 vote. Mayor Brenda Davis and Councilmen Joe Manning and Terry Faust voted against the plan which called for extending the original 15-year plan until 2024 so the company could refinance and have more time to attract new tenants.
"After much thoughtful consideration and examination of the financial documents provided by Millcraft Industries, I have concluded that any extension" of the plan "is not in the best interest of the city of Washington or its citizens," said Manning in a written statement.
Manning, who is out of town, did not attend the meeting but was contacted by cellphone to cast his vote for this specific issue. The councilman, however, had prewritten his statement that was then read by Solicitor Lane Turturice.
Manning also said while every member of council would prefer to see growth rather than decline in the city, he did not see anything in the TIF proposal that would guarantee further development especially since the same mechanism has been in place for several years without success.
"Any revenue that is deferred during the length of this agreement must be borne by the remainder of the taxpayers, and that would be unfair," he stated.
Faust concurred with his colleague but pointed out while he voted in favor of the original TIF, he has found it to be a burden on the taxpayers and could not rightfully vote to extend it.
Davis said she knew little about the matter when appointed to the TIF advisory committee earlier this year, but believes she has gained vast knowledge about the matter to vote against it.
Davis, who is just finishing her first year as mayor, said since taking office she has always put the city at the forefront as well as the people who elected her to the position. At Monday's agenda meeting, Davis hinted to some concern when she questioned Walker and Washington County Redevelopment Authority staff on the TIF.
Meanwhile, Councilmen Ken Westcott and Matt Staniszewski said the city will definitely feel the impact of council's decision.
"I've looked at what revenues have come in and how they're going to continue to come in," Westcott said.
Staniszewski said the city now stands to lose "hundreds of thousands of new tax dollars."
The amended TIF proposal, according to Walker, would enable Millcraft to refinance its bond and continue to keep the building open for business. It was suggested throughout the TIF process that Millcraft might walk away from the building if the modification was not approved.
The original TIF was approved in 2004 by the city, Washington School District and the county with 80 percent of the new tax revenue that was paid on the Crossroads project going toward the construction of an adjacent parking garage. The remainder of the TIF payment is being split among the taxing bodies.
The TIF paved the way for the new commercial development that includes the $15 million office building and the building of the adjacent public parking garage.
A TIF allows the government to borrow money for infrastructure development – such as roads and storm sewers – and then pay off the debt using new tax revenue created by the project. The TIF used the increased property value to offset costs for which the redevelopment authority borrowed money to build the garage.
The 160,000-square-foot Crossroads building was to become the headquarters for LandAmerica, a title insurance company, and its 350 employees. With the economic downturn, however, LandAmerica soon abandoned the building, leaving Millcraft with a mostly empty structure. Occupancy is currently at 47 percent, Walker said. When LandAmerica left, it was down to 9 percent.
Since LandAmerica's exodus, the city has been held responsible for the cost of the parking garage that, until recently, was hardly being used.
With the amendment, Millcraft wanted to lower its TIF payments to 75 percent but at the same time is looking to lower its assessed value from $3.75 million to $2.68 million. Supporters of the TIF contended the city will lose only $647 in tax revenues annually while possibly gaining revenue through other means such as earned income and mercantile taxes, as well as more use of the parking garage.
Although Washington School District and county commissioners had approved the TIF plan, passage was completely in city council's hands.
