...career. Led by Arenas, the NBA's second leading scorer (at 29.4 points per game) and least conventional superstar, the Wizards (28-19) had the second best record in the admittedly woeful Eastern Conference as of Feb. 6. In Washington, only the Pentagon has a longer-range arsenal than Arenas does. And Arenas may be more accurate. He has scored more than 50 points three times this season, including a 60-point outing against the Lakers in Los Angeles; hit two game-winning three-pointers at the buzzer; and made dozens of acrobatic shots.

...Lackner found herself on the bench with four fouls for most of the second half. Moretzsohn scored a career-high 12 points, including back-to-back layups from the right block with under two minutes remaining. Fellow sophomore Liz Tindal, another post weapon in Delaney-Smith’s arsenal, provided a spark with a career-high 11 points and two key long-range buckets down the stretch.

That may sound a little pessimistic; after all, Pyongyang did return to the negotiating table this week after boycotting the talks or nearly a year. But after the resumed six-party talks aimed at bringing the North's nuclear program to an end concluded in Beijing, Friday, it was depressingly clear...
...Since their last bout ended in August, both Israel and Hizballah have been gearing up for a possible Round 2. Israeli, Arab and Lebanese sources hostile to Hizballah told TIME that the organization has been busy restocking its arsenal with help from Iran and Syria. Hizballah has taken delivery of Syrian-made Katyusha missiles with a range of almost 60 miles, able to strike the Israeli port of Haifa and maybe the northern outskirts of Tel Aviv. The Israeli military estimates that Hizballah's arsenal now has over 20,000 short-range missiles and hundreds of medium-range ones. This...
