Boeing's Dreamliners Return to the Skies

Boeing's 787 Dreamliners began flying again Monday

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is flying once again. The first 787 to fly in months made a short flight from Houston to Chicago Monday, CNN reports. The planes had been grounded by the FAA since January when lithium ion batteries on a couple of Japanese planes caught fire. Boeing also found problems with fuel leaks in other planes. The Dreamliner had been cleared for a crew only flight back in February to test battery and fuel line fixes, but Monday is the first time passengers have been allowed back on the planes.

After a scoreless game and two scoreless overtimes penalty kicks decided the S.C. 2013 Lower State champion

Nobody likes a tie, so when Bishop England and Academic Magnet were both scoreless after regulation and two overtimes, the 2013 Lower State AA Boys Soccer title game went to penalty kicks. The Bishops outscored the Raptors 3-1 with goals from Drew Costa, Nick Saunders and Joel Bunting, the Post and Courier reports (subscription required). Bishop England will play Indian Land for the State Title at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Gilbert High School. The Bishops will be playing for a record 16th state championship.
