Simon Garfield's Just My Type illuminated the world of fonts and made everyone take a stand on Comic Sans and care about kerning. Now Garfield takes on a subject even dearer to our fanatical human hearts: maps.
Imagine a world without maps. How would we travel? Could we own land? What would men and women argue about in cars? Scientists have even suggested that mapping—not language—is what elevated our prehistoric ancestors from ape-dom. Follow the history of maps from the early explorers' maps and the awe-inspiring medieval Mappa Mundi to Google Maps and the satellite renderings on our smartphones, Garfield explores the unique way that maps relate and realign our history—and reflect the best and worst of what makes us human.
Featuring a foreword by Dava Sobel and packed with fascinating tales of cartographic intrigue, outsize personalities, and amusing "pocket maps" on an array of subjects from how to fold a map to the strangest maps on the Internet, On the Map is a rich historical tapestry infused with Garfield's signature narrative flair. Map-obsessives and everyone who loved Just My Type will be lining up to join Garfield on his audacious journey through time and around the globe.
"Simon Garfield is charming company. His passion for the graphic carries the reader along […] On the Map offers a world of revelation."
–USA Today
"Mr. Garfield's book serves an immense need, connecting the latest geocacher with both the ancient art and modern science of the cartographer. Each may benefit from learning how the other approaches maps. Mr. Garfield uniquely provides that bridge."
–Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"There is a great deal that is good and charming and fun about this book."
–Simon Winchester, The Washington Post
"Garfield has a knack for creating high-spirited, erudite and user-friendly books on subjects that may seem crashingly dull to all but a few fanatics. […] On the Map is a treasure: exhilarating, witty, compulsively readable and just plain fun."
–Seattle Times
"A collection of marvelous anecdotes that explore the role maps have played in shaping human culture since ancient times."
"Garfield's new book details the evolution of cartography and why maps play such a vital role in our lives. […] his reverence for the form shines through vividly."
"Garfield's interest in the human side of mapmaking— the personalities, anecdotes, curiosities—is what makes On the Map such an enjoyable read. […] vastly entertaining."
"Garfield is a wonderful writer who deploys suspense to excellent effect, making each chapter read like a delightful short story or mini-mystery; his book speaks of vast, hidden depths."
–Smithsonian Magazine
"A vivid foray into the romance of maps. […] A fine, fun presentation of the brand of cartography that continues to whet our imaginations."
"Engaging …full of little conversation pieces"
–Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Enlightening and impossible to put down [. . .] The length and breadth of his scholarship are staggering, while the witty tone makes for the most convivial of literary guides."
"Readers will enjoy this romp through 16,000 years of mapmaking."
–Library Journal, starred review
"Delightful… If maps be the fuel of wanderlust, read on."
–From the foreword by Dava Sobel, author of Longitudes
"There couldn't be anyone better to write about our love for maps than Simon Garfield, who is a master at unearthing strange facts and mixing them with a lively personal narrative…fascinating."
–Giles Foden, Condé Nast Traveller (UK)
"Completely enthralling."
–Daily Mail (UK)
"Garfield has a genius for being sparked to life by esoteric enthusiasm and charming readers with his delight."
–Times (UK)
"Simon Garfield's new book is a rollicking sweep through map history, packed with curiosities and written with verve . . . On the Map will inspire you to take a trip to somewhere new, buy an antique globe to chart the rise and fall of empires, or just dig out a tatty orange Ordnance Survey Explorer map and let its filigree of contour lines evoke a long-forgotten walk in the rain . . . a great book."
–Independent on Sunday (UK)
"A pub quizzer's dream . . . Rather than over-romanticise the experience of map-reading, Garfield allows his varied, expertly researched stories to speak for themselves, and in so doing helps us see that there are fewer things in life more useful, rewarding and beautiful than a map that does what it's supposed to. Perhaps if Apple had read the book a few months ago, today's iPhone users would have a much better idea of where they're going."
–Daily Telegraph (UK)
Praise for Just My Type:
"This is a smart, funny, accessible book that does for typography what Lynne Truss's best-selling Eats, Shoots & Leaves did for punctuation: made it noticeable for people who had no idea they were interested in such things."
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"An engaging look at the world of fonts. […] Just My Type urges us to put on the brakes and take in the scenery as far as typography goes. Whether you're a graphic designer or a layperson with no background in this area, reading what Garfield has to say will change the way you perceive the written word forever."
—The Los Angeles Times
"Reading Simon Garfield's Just My Type can transform your daily life into an endless quest for knowledge of the typefaces in which signs, books, magazines, newspapers, etc. are set."
—The Washington Post
"Highly entertaining … Garfield takes readers on a rollicking tour of the world of typography, from book jackets to road signs, TV shows to computers."
—USA Today
"A deliriously clever and entertaining book"
—The Boston Globe
"Informative, delightful — and essential reading for word geeks everywhere."
—The Seattle Times
"Lively […] intriguing […] a cheeky book about the human side and our reaction to fonts."
—Seattle Post Intelligencer
"This is a book for typography lovers who just can't get enough of their favorite fonts. In this well-researched book, Garfield takes a look back at the history of typefaces and how they've influenced consumers throughout the years. Using specific examples, Garfield shows just how powerful different fonts can be."
—Philadelphia Intelligencer
"For typomaniacs […] who can't rest until they've identified a font, Garfield's engaging history of letter design will be eye candy."
—The Huffington Post
"Garfield's romping history (with multitype text) is zestfully informative."
"Garfield dances across 560 years of typographic history, sprinkled with fascinating anecdotes and vignettes, to infect you with his own inability to walk past a sign without identifying the typeface and some curious factoid about it. Funny and fascinating, irreverent and playful yet endlessly illuminating, the book is an absolute treat for the type-nerd, design history geek, and general lover of intelligent writing with humor."
—The Atlantic
"A thoroughly entertaining, well-informed tour of typefaces"
A "lively romp through the history of fonts. Garfield's evocative prose entices us to see letters instead of just reading them."
—Publishers Weekly
"Whether you're a hardcore typophile or a type-tyro, there's something here for you: be it the eye-opening revelations of Eric Gill's utter and complete perversity, or the creation of the typeface that helped Mr. Obama gain entrance to the White House."
—Chip Kidd
"Just My Type is an entertaining romp through the world of type design. Mr. Garfield explains the angst and the joy of typography; this is a great book for design geeks to press into the hands of the uninitiated in hopes of conversions, like missionaries with a religious tract."
—Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
"With wit, grace and intelligence, Simon Garfield tells the fascinating stories behind the letters that we encounter every day on our street corners, our bookstore shelves, and our computer screens. As someone who's worked with typography for over three decades, I kept finding lots of surprises. So will anyone who cares about the culture of reading and writing and this most ubiquitous of design forms."
—Michael Bierut, Partner, Pentagram Design, New York
"There is even a photograph of a quick brown fox literally jumping over a lazy dog. What a clever, clever book."
—Lynne Truss
"Did I love this book? My daughter's middle name is Bodoni. Enough said."
—Maira Kalman
"Mapping out the historical intricacies of the ampersand and the short-lived interrobang, the serif and the sans serif, Simon Garfield reveals an invisible world behind the printed word. From Trajan's Column to the ubiquitous Helvetica to the latest typefaces, like Dirtyfax, the lives of the designers and the letters they've created have never been more clearly detailed with so much flair."
—Jessica Kerwin Jenkins, author of Encyclopedia of the Exquisite
How did you get interested in maps?
I've been enthralled by maps since I began taking the London Underground to school at the age of 10. I only travelled one stop, but was excited by the possibility of the whole of London laid out in that simple diagrammatic way. I had no idea of the influence of that map throughout the world, but I did start collecting the free pocket maps supplied at stations, and I was hooked from then on. (I've got a whole collection of early ones lining my hallway, although sadly most weren't acquired free but bought at auction for silly money.)
What is the oldest map you encountered during your research?
The oldest map I laid hands on (albeit through glass, as it's worth millions) was the Mappa Mundi, the map of the world inscribed on calfskin in about 1290. It's a magnificent thing, a storyboard of life and the Christian worldview designed for visiting pilgrims, displayed in Hereford Cathedral. I have a chapter in the book describing how it was – unbelievably – almost sold to fix a leaky roof.
What do you like best about maps?
The wonder of maps is how much they reveal about our history, and what it's like to be human. They express both our best and worst attributes – our quest for power and domination, but also our curiosity and desire for exploration – and they can explain more in a single sheet than a whole book. They can also be things of great artistic beauty. But above all maps tell our stories, which is the premise of the book, unraveling great human tales with maps at their core.
What is your most prized map? Why?
The most prized map in my possession is one of those old (1920s) London Underground maps – lovely rich colors and each station written in a swirly calligraphic hand. But the map I prize more than any is in fact an atlas – the Atlas Maior by Joan Blaeu, made in Amsterdam in the 17th century. It's the most lavish and over-the-top volume you may ever see, with no stretch of water free of wild sea creatures or full-winded galleons. Taschen make a great reproduction; the original may bankrupt you.
Have you ever attempted to make a map?
Only back of the envelope directions, which are guaranteed by me not to get you there. But handmade, personal maps are a growing trend I think, a backlash against so much cold and impersonal digital mapping.
Do buried treasure maps with a big 'x marks the spot' really exist? Where did that start?
They do exist – the Library of Congress has a whole special collection of them, although they won't promise that all of them will make you rich. The big X-map trend comes principally from Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' from the 1880s.
What do you believe is something people don't realize about maps, but should?
One of the great emerging theories about maps – suggested by Oxford Professor Richard Dawkins and others – is that it was maps (rather than language) that may have first increased the size of our brains and enabled humans to make that leap from other apes. It was the drawing of maps in the dirt on the African plains that enabled teams of hunters to work together.
Why should we leave mapmaking to the professionals?
I think we're all mapmakers at heart – at every step of our daily lives we're making maps, most of them mentally, to get to work or even just to a certain part of our homes. And I do like the idea of people constructing personal maps of their movements much as one might keep a diary. And we certainly shouldn't leave maps to the professionals if the result is Apple Maps.
Before aerial photography, how did mapmakers figure out coastlines and islands?
By sailing. All the early coastal maps, pre-photography and satellite imagery, come from navigation and exploration, with each contour on each painstaking chart being added to the one that came before it to build up a complete picture, correcting errors over the years and centuries. That's why by the sixteenth century we already had a fairly good picture of the shape of Africa. Then as now, advances in mapmaking were led primarily by trade and ambition.
What is the strangest map you've ever seen?
In the book I write quite a lot about many of the great mistakes on maps. Some of these are colossal, like the invention of a mountain range in Africa called the Mountains of Kong that lasted on trusted maps for more than a hundred years. Or the belief that California was an island.
The strangest thing for me is how these map myths persisted over centuries, although perhaps it was a bit like Wikipedia: once it was up there or on a map it was taken as accurate and bound to be repeated. It's another example of the great power of maps.
How do you think GPS on smart phones have changed the landscape of maps and mapmaking?
Totally and irrevocably. I wrote an article for the BBC website about this, saying that it is now hard for most people aged below 25 to remember a time when we used maps that folded (or at least maps that came folded from a shop, and never folded quite so well again). And it is a sobering thought that our most influential maps are now in the hands of a very new breed of cartographers.
These are not people traditionally charged with representing our landscape with carefully plotted co-ordinates and contours, and with recognizable symbols and important landmarks. The new maps are gridded by technicians and pixel masters, who may be more concerned with screen-loading speeds than the absence on a map of certain parts of, say, Manchester or Chicago.
What do you prefer? GPS Smartphone maps or the old-fashioned ones? What are the pros/cons of each?
I use both, as any modern person should. The maps on my phone are great for when I suddenly need detail about an unfamiliar place, but less good when the battery runs out and I'm hallway up a mountain in Scotland and the fog's coming in. And GPS can be great in the car if you're alone on a long journey, but often you can use one and not know how you got from one end of the country to another. GPS can also be invaluable in helping tribes-people in Africa establish claims to their land in the face of deforestation, but GPS may also mean that we be becoming totally reliant on technology and lose our traditional map-reading skills. The lack of this spatial ability means that we may also be shrinking a portion of our brains; it's that old 'use it or lose it' thing. With GPS and smart phones we tend to only look 100 yards ahead.
Can maps ever cause more harm than good?
They are probably a contributory factor in a lot of divorces! And of course no one wants inaccurate maps that give us bad directions. But Columbus thought he was sailing to Japan, so there can be benefits too. And back to the disaster that is Apple maps – a friend of mine woke up the morning after he 'upgraded' to the new Apple operating system and found that a fishmonger had, according to his map, moved a mile down the high street into his back garden.
Do you think there will ever be a time when we don't have/need physical maps?
The time when we don't have physical maps is fast approaching, especially for the young. But I hope we will always need them, and they'll always be there for us.
Can you show me how to fold this map?
I wish I could.

Today it's all about photography!
This is like a guessing game, how many do you recognize? Me three. Or maybe four.
I love these photos, romantic abandon. I like abandoned things and houses, there is always something beautiful to find.
Isn't this how we all would like to be now and then, there but not there.
I spent 7 years of my childhood in the extreme north of Sweden (in Kiruna) and though I obviously didn't live like a same, I recognize the nature and the people. We had Same friends who shared their lives and traditions with us, giving us a unique insight into a different culture.
These portraits are beyond brilliant with their play on the person portrayed and how he is portrayed.

What is Gout?
Gout can occur if the level of uric acid (a by-product of the breakdown of dietary proteins usually excreted in the urine) in the blood exceeds the ability of the kidneys to remove it.
In articular or synovial gout, the uric acid crystallizes in the joints, ligaments, and tendon sheaths.
In visceral gout, uric acid deposits are found in the liver, spleen, pericardial sac (the covering of the heart), kidneys, and air sacs.
Gout can be primary, when the high uric acid level
is caused by an abnormal breakdown of protein, or secondary, in which case the kidneys aren't able to adequately excrete uric acid. Secondary gout can be caused by medications, chronic diseases, kidney disease, overeating, improper diet (high protein, and possibly high Vitamin D or low Vitamin A), dehydration, some infections, and other environmental factors that affect the kidneys' ability to eliminate uric acid.
Most birds with gout must be treated for the rest of their lives. If therapy is discontinued, there is a possibility that the painful signs may reappear.
Although there is no cure for gout, it's important for every bird owner to keep an eye out for symptoms, while also providing proper nutrition; an adequate source
of Vitamin A, either from leafy, green vegetables, or vitamin supplements; and fresh, clean water.

>Even though we are not heading south to Philmont till 2012 it is never to early to get ready.
Our deposits are in and we have secured our 2 crews, the excitement is building!
The other night we met with many of the Scouts going, we are going to start our preparations this summer, more hikes, gear shake downs and building the crews.
To start with though, we are showing them what they are going to see…
Thought I'd share a bit with you.
So for my contribution for this day of #100daysofscouting.. it was all about Philmont today.
I talked with on of our Troops Dads about clamming while out on the coast this month and he is doing some research about tides etc.
Other than that.. it was a pretty quiet Scouting Day!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Three familiar names will take the ice at Dwyer Arena this weekend, although it's up in the air how much playing time these goalies will receive when No. 17 Niagara hosts Bentley in an Atlantic Hockey Association two-game series in Lewiston.
Former Williamsville North star Branden Komm has started 21 games for the Bentley Falcons (11-11-1, 9-7-1), compiling a .916 save percentage, 2.96 goals-against average and 10-10 record. Blake Dougherty of East Amherst has started one game for Bentley, stopping 28 of 30 shots in a 2-2 tie with Air Force on Dec. 8.
Lockport native Chris Paulin recently joined Niagara, which has a 15-game unbeaten streak on home ice, as a backup to starting goalie Carsen Chubak, who leads the nation in shutouts (five) and ranks third in save percentage (.944).
Tonight's 7 p.m. game will air on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel as well as 1440 AM.

Whether you followed along with my experiment with Laughing Yoga or you read my recent Happy Thought for the Day about laughter, you know I'm a fan of laughing.
The fine folks at Great Clean Jokes are obvious fans of laughter as well, and they came up with an amazing infographic that talks about the health benefits of laughter. I learned a few things from it, and it highlights just how amazing laughter can be for both your mental AND physical health. Take a look – I hope you learn a few extra reasons to take the time to laugh!


text: This is the frontispiece of Henry Marsh's The Wits (1662), which reprints 'entertainments' presented by Robert Cox after theatres were closed by the Civil War. Seven 'Humours,' including Falstaff and 'Hostess' Quickly, occupy an indoor stage typical of Stuart private theatres such as the Blackfriars of Shakespeare's company. The sketch shows likely costumes for these figures. From his prominent position downstage it is clear that Falstaff maintains the earlier popularity recognized by Leonard Digges in his verse prelude to an edition of the Poems (1640) when he says "let but Falstaff come, Hal, Poins, the rest, you scarce shall have room."

HALOS, a Charleston-based nonprofit organization, recently received a grant of $15,000 from the TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, to provide services and support to kinship families. Kinship families occur when a relative, usually a grandparent, steps in to care for children full-time, in the absence of their parents, so that they will not have to enter foster care. The grant from the TD Charitable Foundation will ensure that this important work can continue.
The HALOS Kinship Care Program was developed in 2008 to support grandparents and other relatives raising grandchildren in the absence of their parents through twice monthly mutual support groups, referrals for services and educational and respite opportunities. The first of its kind in South Carolina, the program now serves more than 200 adults and 400 children annually.

In a high-scoring, fast-paced game that had a flavor of postseason play, Stetson nailed down its first win of the season Friday with a 84-77 victory over host Stephen F. Austin in the second round of the Preseason WNIT at the William H. Johnson Coliseum.
Sasha Sims led five Hatters in double figures with 23 points as Stetson (1-1) advances to play North Carolina A&T at 7 p.m. Saturday night.
"I thought we were better from our last game," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "If we get better every game, we are going to be OK. We rebounded the ball much better and we just had a lot more effort on the glass. I thought we did a great a job of only giving them one shot."
After leading by five at halftime and extending the advantage to as many as 13 in the second half, Stetson survived a late Ladyjacks (0-2) run that cut the deficit to one on two separate occasions. With just under five minutes to play, Cherisse Burris converted a lay-up after a drive through the lane to put Stetson ahead 72-69. Burris also added two free throws to build the lead back to five, but Stephen Austin rallied again, pulling within one point on a Tierney Henderson lay-up with 2:41 to play.
After a pair of C.J. Coddington free throws gave the Hatters a 76-73 advantage, the Ladyjacks had three opportunities to tie the game, but defensive rebounds by Sims, Burris, and Brianti Saunders helped preserve the lead. Following a Stetson timeout with under a minute to play, Coddington threw an inbounds pass that Burris converted into a lay-up and the Hatters held on for the victory.
"Stephen F. Austin came back and cut the lead and we could have folded, but we made some plays down the stretch and I was really proud of our kids," Bria said.
Sims went 9-for-14 from the field and added eight rebounds and two blocks to her game-high 23 points.
"I thought Sasha put two great halves together," Bria said. "She took the ball to the basket and took great shots, and she tried to create shots for her teammates, too. She had a very good defensive effort as well and had some key blocks down the stretch."
Jama Sharp scored 14 points and added a career-high 10 assists for her second career double-double. Burris (13 points), Amber Porter (12 points), and Saunders (10 points) also reached double figures for the Hatters.
Stetson shot 45.8 percent from the floor and went to the free throw line 39 times, connecting on 26 attempts. The Hatters outrebounded the Ladyjacks 47-33.
Notes: Amber Porter made her first career start and had six points, two rebounds, and a block in the first 1:44 of the game. All 12 of her points came in the first half ... Sims went over 20 points for the 11th time in her career.

RNC Tries to Lure Tech Talent
The Republican National Committee is launching a startup.
The staid, slightly clubby party committee is trying to recast its image for the digital age in the hopes of matching – and someday surpassing – the gains Democrats made in targeting voters during the last two presidential elections.
The RNC Tuesday is announcing the formation of Para Bellum Labs, an in-house technology incubator that combines the committee's data-analytics arm with its digital-marketing unit. As part of that effort, the committee is on the prowl for programmers and other engineers to staff its latest venture.
One of the Republicans' biggest takeaways from 2012 is that Democrats have developed far more sophisticated methods to identify, persuade and turn out potential supporters, from conducting behavioral experiments to figure out which messages resonate to making television ads more cost-effective.
Para Bellum Labs is an attempt by the RNC to narrow that gap. Republicans acknowledge the Democrats' prowess but are quick to point out that President Barack Obama's two successful White House campaigns built off of gains made by the GOP in 2004 to re-elect George W. Bush.

"For whatever reason, that advantage evaporated," said Chuck DeFeo, who led digital outreach on Mr. Bush's 2004 campaign and is overseeing this latest attempt to rebuild the party's information infrastructure in his role as the RNC's chief digital officer. "We've got a strategic moment here to catch up and surpass our opposition."
Part of the GOP's challenge is convincing engineers and other young tech wizards to forego a private-sector career to instead help elect Republicans in federal, state and local elections. To that end, Azarias Reda, the RNC's chief data officer, is making the rounds at top engineering schools and other tech-savvy locales to convince potential recruits that the committee offers them something other companies can't.
"When it comes to recruiting top talent, our competition isn't the Democratic Party – it's the Facebooks, LinkedIns and Googles of the world," Mr. Reda said in a release set to go out Tuesday.
Added RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, "Through Para Bellum Labs we will continue bringing in top talent to inspire innovative products to power campaigns and change the way we do business in the Republican Party."

In an era when outside groups can drown out either party or the individual campaigns with television ads, the RNC is trying to retain its foothold as the party's primary source for voter contact data. This push is an attempt to collect more information about individual donors and make the outreach process more accessible for individual campaigns. In January alone, the team collected 169,000 new email addresses that will give it another avenue to reach voters.
The RNC has even redecorated space on the first floor of its Washington, D.C., headquarters to look more like the bright, open offices often associated with tech startups, complete with walls made of dry-erase boards and lots of Apple products. Even the office attire is decidedly more casual than the coat-and-tie ethos of other departments.
In its pitch, the RNC is trying to convince these engineers that they will have all of the freedom of a startup to create new ways to improve turnout as well as a guaranteed funding stream that most Silicon Valley ventures would covet.
"We are here to push the envelope when it comes to how you manage, analyze and take advantage of data," Mr. Reda said in a video that accompanies the launch.
In another nod to the Obama campaign, the committee is trying to tap some of the same idealistic zeal that is driving young engineers to create new online applications and other digital tools in the name of progress.
In a video to promote the new effort, one member of the new data team says, "The cool thing about this is the fact that I am literally working to elect the next president…You can go try to work on the West Coast and potentially make a cool app, or you can actually physically change history."
The name, however, serves as a subtle reminder that this new wing of the RNC isn't solely devoted to high-minded ideals.
Para Bellum, translated from Latin, means "prepare for war."

ALBANY – Carl Paladino acknowledges, in his words, that he can be "impulsive."
So after he finished talking to reporters on the third floor of the State Capitol on Tuesday morning, he couldn't resist giving New York Post state columnist Fred Dicker the middle finger as he walked by his office.
Dicker got into a verbal shouting match with Paladino – in full view of television cameras – in Lake George during the Buffalo businessman's 2010 Republican gubernatorial campaign. The incident happened after Paladino accused then-Democratic candidate Andrew M. Cuomo of having an extramarital affair. Since Cuomo became governor two years ago, he has regularly used Dicker's morning Albany radio show to get his messages out.
Paladino was at the Capitol on Tuesday to speak at a rally by gun owners opposed to New York's new gun-control laws. He gestured to Dicker through the glass wall separating the Post's office from the third-floor hallway.
Near the beginning of Tuesday's radio show, Dicker said that if Paladino owns a gun, he might have to give it up because of a mental health provision in the new law that requires health professionals to report on patients who might be a threat to themselves or others. Dicker said the provision might apply to Paladino "because of the nature of comments he makes," which he called "threatening, menacing comments" against people.
"He has this thug quality to him, and apparently he hasn't grown up since he was running around the state menacing people a couple years ago," the Post columnist said.
In an email comment, Dicker said of Paladino, "His crudeness speaks for itself."
Paladino declined to comment.

Love and loss.
In many ways, they're the ultimate human stories. And we had several of them this week – stories that reminded us how wondrous, how precious and ultimately how fragile life can be.
Two deaths that were strangely timely, and one that was tragically untimely, were among this week's five stories that got the strongest reactions on PEOPLE.com.
Check them out below, and let us know what you think of every story by clicking on the icons at the bottom.
Rarely is a story about death met with so much love. But Kenneth and Helen Felumlee were never just an ordinary couple. They'd been inseparable since they were teenagers, and after 70 years of marriage, they still held hands at breakfast every morning. Their final acts were oddly united, too. Helen died at age 92 on April 12, and Kenneth, who was a year younger, died the next morning – a couple who really couldn't live without each other.
Earning the biggest "wow" of the week was our fun photo feature of PEOPLE's "Most Beautiful" celebrities posing with their younger selves – everyone from Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford and Meg Ryan to Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio. Seeing them all side by side proves, if anything, that they're only getting better with age!
Another week, another story about Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott that made PEOPLE readers angry. This time, the issue was McDermott's claim on True Tori that sex with his wife wasn't fulfilling for him. "We would have sex once every two weeks," he said. "It wasn't fantastic." Plenty of readers called him out on it, as did the therapist on the show, saying his views on sex and marriage were "like a fairy tale."
The saddest news of the week was the death of Eric Hill, 31, a contestant on Andi Dorfman's upcoming season of The Bachelorette, who passed away three days after a paragliding accident in Utah. "He gave us such a gift of a life fully lived and fully shared, and allowed us all to be a part of his last adventure here on earth," his sister wrote.
Finally, leave it to Neil Patrick Harris to get the biggest laugh of the week. When an audience member at his Broadway show Hedwig and the Angry Inch yelled out "I love you, Neil," the always entertaining actor had a quick and biting reply – in character, no less: "I'm doing something up here, motherf-----." Despite the profanity, "it really was a light-hearted moment," a rep for Harris said later.
Check back again next week for another must-read roundup. Until then, see what readers are reacting to every day by clicking here.

Authority borrows $2 million
Berkeley County takes loan to purchase land
January 3, 2013
By Samantha Cronk Journal staff writer MARTINSBURG — In an effort to make Berkeley County more attractive to large companies and large projects, the Berkeley County Development Authority recently......
If you cant sell the land you already have to companies in this inductrial park, what makes you think that buying more is a good idea!
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Who is selling the land, and how is/was he connected with local government?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The 340-acre parcel purchased from PNC Bank increases the amount of available acreage for development in Tabler Station Business Park to more than 580 acres, according to Christian. The additional land was previously considered for residential development, but American Homes, the company that proposed the housing project, went "belly up," Christian said.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Buy low, sell high. Looks like the land was purchased for around $4,400 per ac. Also, I'm not sure why anyone would consider it for residential development, as the sulfur smell from the asphalt plant nearby can be quite strong.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The Tabler Station industrial park only has one tenant at this time, an Asphalt Plant. I now get to wake up every morning and smell burnt asphalt, diesel fuel, tar and all the rest of the smells associated with this plant. The smell rolls right thru Arden and down to Inwood. So much for country air. I would like to force Mr. Christian to move next to it. And yes, I was living in the Arden area long ago.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
American Homes was owned by the Petry brothers in Inwood. They went belly up years ago and are still being pursued by homeowners, vendors and creditors. From what I was told, they lavish lifestyles of buying hunting property all over WV and Illinois, Corvettes, Jet Ski's, guns, Gators and 4-Wheelers, vacation property, etc came to a scratching halt when the real estate market bubble burst. Their arrogance is till offending people. So I'm not sure who profited from the sale of this property. I hope it wasn't them.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The problem is not the fact that there is is a shortage of land to develop or the condition of the property, the fact is who would want to bring their company to Berkeley County or WV. This is one of the most business unfriendly states in the country. If you don't believe this just ask someone that is trying to keep their business going. Also, I would think that the county council would have to have a process that they would have to go through,including public hearings,before any action could be taken. What about that?
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
That area is already friendly enough to businesses, thanks to tax breaks and other incentives. Sino Swearingen and several other companies were induced to locate there, but the return on investment in the form of jobs created and taxes paid, never happened. I wish the area was more friendly to the RESIDENTS, in the form of sane gasoline prices, lower taxes, fewer vices, better schools, and lower crime.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
How did this happen? It is Tax payer money they are spending and the Tax payer had no say in this decision. Is our County in the realestate business? We can not even afford a new Police car! 2 million borrowed! If this deal goes south who will bare the load? I am sure it will fall on the Tax payer, the same folks that had ZERO say in this deal.The old Martins building, over 3 million borrowed, now we are rehabing it, at who knows how much. The Rockafeller Business park ALL buildings EMPTY. Macy's, I pay more property Taxes than thay do! Who is in charge of this county?

Necrotizing vasculitis is a rare condition that involves inflammation of the blood vessel walls.
Vasculitis - necrotizing
Necrotizing vasculitis is common with:
It is very rare in children.
The cause of the inflammation is unknown. It is likely related to autoimmune factors. The wall of the blood vessel may scar and thicken, or die (become necrotic). The blood vessel may close, interrupting blood flow to the tissues it supplies. The lack of blood flow will cause the tissues to die.
Necrotizing vasculitis may affect any blood vessel in the body. Therefore, it can cause problems with the skin or any of the body's organs.
Fever, chills, fatigue, arthritis, or weight loss may be the only symptoms at first. However, symptoms may be in almost any part of the body.
Muscles and joints:
Brain and nervous system:
Lungs and respiratory tract:
Other symptoms include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. A nervous system (neurological) examination may show signs of nerve damage.
Tests that may be done include:
Corticosteroids are given in most cases. The dose will depend on how bad the condition is.
Other drugs that suppress the immune system may reduce inflammation of the blood vessels.
For severe disease, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) is usually given. A new medicine, rituximab, (Rituxan) may be used instead of Cytoxan.
Related conditions include:
The outcome depends on the location of the vasculitis and the severity of tissue damage.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of necrotizing vasculitis.
Emergency symptoms include:
There is no known way to prevent this disorder.

Weather Summary:
The first of several storm systems moved through Monday morning to open the door to more rain days ahead. The Triad received around a quarter of an inch of rain with up to around 0.80" of rain over the Foothills.
This storm system tracked to the northeast to allow high pressure to briefly move in through the first half of Monday night. The clouds will increase Monday night into early Tuesday morning as moisture begins to return out of the south.
Light drizzle will be possible early Tuesday morning as temperatures bottom out in the low 30s. Light freezing rain will be possible for a short period of time before temperatures warm back above freezing. There will be no impacts from freezing rain or drizzle.
Light scattered showers will develop across the Triad Tuesday afternoon as a cool northeasterly flow only allow temperatures to warm to near 40 degrees. Scattered showers will remain in the area through Tuesday night into the first half of the day on Wednesday.
Wednesday afternoon this second storm system is expected to exit the region and allow some sunshine and warmth to return to the area. High temperatures Wednesday afternoon will be in the upper 50s.

Why does precipitation not always appear on the radar?
Yes, the cloud that forms behind a jet airplane does have a name. Meteorologist Grant Gilmore has the answer.
A WFMY News 2 viewer snapped a picture and asked 2WTK what type of cloud it was and how it formed.
How do we know what's happening in the atmosphere? The weather balloon!
This summer is among the wettest summers on record, but single day rainfall hasn't even come close to record proportions.
When an inch of rain falls do you really know how much water that equates to over an acre?
In the summer the heat of the day is often something you what to avoid, but do you know when this typically occurs?

Just after 6 p.m., Brody – who wore a red sweatshirt – and Meester – who dressed in an oversized cardigan – met up with a pal at La Fiesta Brava, a local Mexican restaurant.
An onlooker tells PEOPLE that both Brody and Meester ordered enchiladas while chatting about film with their friend. "She sipped on a Mexican coke and sat back smiling and listening to the boys," the source adds.
As the meal came to a close, the boys split the check – although Meester offered to contribute. But before it was time to leave, the couple shared a romantic moment.
"Adam put his arm around Leighton and the two smiled at each other while she snuggled into his chest before the trio headed out," the source says.

WRIGHT'S CORNERS – A neighbor who saw something suspicious in the woods behind a store near her house alerted Niagara County sheriff's deputies, which led to the arrest of a Lockport man over the weekend.
Paul T. Villeneuve, 24, of Ridge Road, was charged with petit larceny just before 4:30 p.m. Saturday for shoplifting from Family Dollar and Rite Aid, both on Lockport-Olcott Road. Another man fled the scene and was not apprehended. Store owners from both stores said they were unaware that anything had been stolen, according to deputies.
Villeneuve and the other man are accused of shoplifting $32.60 worth of food, holiday and household items from Family Dollar, then going across the street and trying to hide the items in a bag in the woods before entering Rite Aid.
Deputies, alerted to the suspicious bag, confiscated it while the men were still in Rite Aid. Both men returned to pick up the bag and then fled when they realized patrol had confiscated it.
Villeneuve was apprehended and found with a lighter he admitted to stealing from Rite Aid, deputies said. They said he also admitted to stealing from Family Dollar.

In addition to the usual stresses of the holidays comes the added load of traffic woes. This boost in gridlock hits right when the days are their shortest and the weather its unfriendliest. To avoid the pitfalls and potholes of holiday driving, consider these handy tips.
Plan ahead to avoid a bumpy road. Allow extra time in a travel schedule. Bad traffic can often be avoided with a little preparation. The heaviest travel days are usually before and after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Consider taking an extra day off so that you aren't stuck in the pack. Also, try to minimize holiday stress by getting the bulk of your shopping done well before the holiday.
Make sure cars are well-equipped for travel. Breaking down in the dark, in bad weather or in the cold can crush the holiday spirit. It's a good idea to take the car in for a winter "check-up." A mechanic can inspect the antifreeze, battery, windshield wipers and other cold-weather components. Make sure that the tire pressure is at the recommended levels, as tires can be hazardous in wet weather when they are not filled to proper levels.
Think before you drive. Leon James, professor of psychology at the University of Hawaii and an expert on driver psychology, reminds us that the highways are a community. As much as we may want to think we are isolated in our steel and glass bubbles, driving is really a social interaction without words. To understand holiday driving conditions, think of the way people act outside of their cars in this time of year. Many are worried, preoccupied, hurried, distracted and all those states of mind that make them easily agitated and less careful. On the road, this means that everyone should be more vigilant than usual, give people more distance and be forgiving when someone does something rash or absent-minded. Avoid confrontations, and try not to let other drivers bring you out of the happy holiday zone.
Ease on down the road.Don't think of driving as a chore. Consider traveling to be part of the vacation. Rather than getting cranky from thinking that you are losing vacation time, try to find ways to enjoy the time you spend driving. This might include playing favorite holiday music or pre-recorded holiday "talking books," singing holiday carols or chatting with passengers as if sitting on the couch back at home.
Carry equipment for on-the-road emergencies. If traveling in bad weather or in snow country, prepare for problems by packing flares, blankets, a first-aid kit, flashlight, water and snacks. It's useful to have a shovel to dig out the wheels in case you get stuck, and a bag of kitty litter to pour under the wheels for traction. Also remember to pack the cell phone for emergencies, but be prudent about using it while driving in holiday traffic or in bad weather.
Pack tire chains if you heading into the snow, and consider putting them on before leaving home.
Drive responsibly. Once you get on the road, drive slowly and carefully. It's the time of year when to-do lists can run long and we all have places where we would much rather be than on the road, but a defensive approach pays off in the long run.
Don't drink and drive. Be aware of your physical and legal limits and the potential dangers of intoxicated driving.
Take it public. The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories have decreased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it's just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.
Flying? Get your bags on the plane pronto. Fliers don't want to pay fees for checked bags, and more and more of them are traveling with just carry-ons. The amount of space in overhead bins on planes, meanwhile, has remained the same. To nab a spot for your carry-on near your seat, get on the plane ASAP and be ready to store it right away.
Google it. Worried about a flight delay because of stormy weather? Type your airline's name and your flight number into a Google search bar. The site will fetch up-to-date flight status info.
Airport: Get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it's a slog. Plus, if you decide to cut it close you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have dramatically scaled back on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.

Noticed there wasn't a Naruto thread about, thought I'd make one. So who's your favourite characters, favourite jutsus, favourite hidden village? What're you thoughts on what will happen???
Naruto Thread
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Naruto is da bomb!!
Im up to date with the manga but havnt watched anime since the last lot of filler I think about 20 or so eps ago.
Although, I havent been reading the manga or watching the anime for a while because of exams
KAKASHI. God yeah, I love him XD I don't see myself as a Narutard anymore but my obsession wit him is still strong XD
Favourite hidden village is the mist one cuz it's cool but I like the leaf because it seems neutral and nice.
Favourite jutsu? Hell, I don't know XD Raikiri o.o nah but I like amaterasu, and Konan's paper thing for some reason...yeah insert stuff here *fail*
Anyway... I used to be so OBSESSED with this, it's still one of my favourites, but I kinda gave up with Shippuden, I must be like 50 episodes behind, but I still read the manga ^_^ But sometimes, in more recent timest, it loses my concentration and I drift off =/ but yeah... it's my first manga obsession so I'll follow it through =3
What I think will happen? Too long to gather my thoughts XD
Every week without fail!!
Fave character: Not sakura... annoying *****
Fave jutsu: amaterasu
Fave hidden village: Rain, because its so secretive and secluded.. so much to discover about it :P
Whats gonna happen: Senju vs Uchiha, sasuke vs naruto... but that'll come in about a zillion chapters LOL
Hell yeah. I only got into it 6-8 weeks ago, caught up to 76 or something in dubbed quickly, then went to subbed and I've been waiting a few weeks but then I got tired of waiting and read the manga :P Definitely prefer watching it, but the anime is soooooo far behind and has so much filler, and I read so many spoilers by accident. Really good show. I didn't like it much at first, but I was hooked after watching Zabuza cry for Haku. It's just got better and better since really (cept Naruto eps 130-220ish, I didn't know it was all filler and watched it all ha).
Favourite characters: Pein & Gaara
Favourite Jutsus: Anything the above two do! I like the Byakugan too.
Not really bothered about the villages!
What will happen... (Semi-spoilers if you are on dubbed or subbed) I get the feeling Naruto will die, maybe killed by Madara (who I don't believe is actually Madara) or something and then Sasuke will change sides and kill Madara. I guess Kabuto could be involved too and Orochimaru is bound to show up again somehow. It's just too much of a fairytale ending for Naruto to save the day and become Hokage imo, too expected too. I think the scene where Itachi spoke to Naruto will be the turning point in Sasuke and Naruto's fight, not sure if it'll stop Sasuke or whatever.
Naruto as an anime & manga is pretty damn good.
Favourite character: Might Guy! (DYNAMIC ENTRY!)
Favourite jutsu: Any jutsu which Orochimaru uses (he is the number 1 troll).
Wow, I've dropped Naruto a few years ago. I stopped just after the Shippudden started. Is it really worth picking up again?
Would it be better to read the manga or watch the anime?
As far as I can remember, my favourite character was Kakashi. Speaking of which, did they ever make an anime version of the Kakashi Gaiden?
My fav character: The Pervy Sage!! (Jiraiya)
Fav Jutsu: Flying Thunder God Technique
Fav hidden village: I used to like Mist, then Lightining a lot, but A has put me off a bit, now i'm sticking with Leaf
As for what I think will happen, I think Naruto will probably train a bit more with B, master the new tailed beast rasengan and be able to use it efficiently in battle. I hope Naruto will learn to use more nature elemental techniques - I think we'll probably see more Wind ones, but I'm pretty sure Naruto's second affinity will be water and we'll get some headway with that. Also I'm sure that he'll learn a technique of Minato - not from him, but maybe something left behind? Naruto is still trying to perfect 'that' jutsu too.
Obviously there's gonna be the big final battle with Naruto and Sasuke. Pretty sure the Raikaige and Tsunade and maybe two other Ninja (Kakashi maybe?) will take on Madara and Kabuto, but get injured/die, and Naruto of course saves the day. That's me thinking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead though, but I think we know the series is coming to a close soon (when I say soon I mean probably in about 2 years?). But yeah I really want Naruto to learn more techniques and be more controlled with them, rather than just using the rasengan all the time, not that I don't like it!

Naruto is the best
I love the Characters and the storyline.... My Faves are Killer bee and Naruto.. I like the Shruiken Rasengan and the Tailed Beast Bomb... Sage mode is awesome...
My favourite anime/manga at the moment, a manga thread for fans would be nice
stopped watching the anime, well I just watch the big fights but not full episodes generally, last one I watched was Sasuke vs the Raikage/Gaara. I've liked where the manga has been going recently but I do think it's been slightly all over the place at times
(Original post by Kiss)
Read the manga! A lot has changed if you've just started after Shippuuden. Read the manga first then watch the anime, because as much as I like the anime, I'm not a huge fan of the filler arcs - they just seem a bit hollow. Some are pretty entertaining though.
Yeah, I'll just read the manga, at least the quality of the drawing won't deteriorate, unlike in the anime. :3
I dropped Naruto a few years ago... I read quite a lot of the Manga and watched upto episode 90 or something, then I kind of lost interest to be honest:P
Thinking of watching Shippudden as everyone says it's really good
I'm only watching the anime, can't be bothered with the manga. But I'm still enjoying it
Is this series ending yet? I heard its drawing to one but I'm betting it'll just do a timeskip or something because as long as it prints money, it won't die.
Naruto only started watching the anime last October, been up to date with it since the last couple of months, its great, love it have been tempted to read the manga but decided not to since Shippuuden wont be the same if i know what happens
hmmm fav character..i duno, i have loads..probably Kakashi or Tsunade
fav jutsu, probably the Rasen-shuriken or Mangekyou sharingan
dont really have a fav village, Konoha i guess

I have a friend of mine that's somewhat on the inside who disclosed to me that a southern-based NHL franchise is in the process of preparing for a rebranding, allegedly to be announced sometime in the spring of 2012 and to be effective starting with the 2012-13 season.
The rebranding, I'm told, will incorporate not only a change in colors, but a change in the team's name and, quoting my friend, "something that's never been done in the NHL before."
Unfortunately, he didn't disclose which "southern-based" team he was referring to, nor provide any other details. But to even be able to break this here on the CCSLC (at least, I *think* I'm breaking it here; maybe someone else has posted it), even without detail, is cool for me.
So, let the speculation begin: who will it be, what new name will they use, what colors will they adopt, etc., etc.?
This was quoted from a member over at Chris Creamer's sport logo community. (Please do not blame me if you think its nonsense or not happening).Not sure how reliable this speculation actually is but if anyone wants to browse thru this thread please go ahead. http://boards.sports...showtopic=80699
With that being said I thought it brought up some good discussion if it is in fact true. I honestly could say I have no idea on which team it would be. Later in the thread the OP states that a team is NOT relocating so that means a current team is going to "rebrand". My best guess would be Nashville or Carolina... What's everyone else's opinions?!

For full disclosure, I have an office at the Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. I'm vitally interested in the Medical University and the College of Charleston. During my 38 years in the U.S. Senate, I brought facilities to both.
The problem in poor South Carolina is that we are rich in higher education. We have medical schools in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg and rumors of one starting in Florence.
The Medical University in Charleston used to get 48 percent of its budget from the Legislature. It now receives only 3 percent. I'm sure that S.C. State, the University of South Carolina, Clemson, The Citadel and Winthrop are short of money. I know the public schools and highways are short of money.
Mayor Joe Riley in his op-ed on Sunday supporting the merger asked: "What is the problem?" The answer is in the headline on page B-1: "Jobs focus on higher education funding."
As governor, we raised taxes, obtained a AAA credit rating and attracted industry. We need to raise taxes in South Carolina.
MUSC has research in sickle cell, cancer, drugs, etc. - health. Merging MUSC with the College of Charleston does not result in a research university.
The College of Charleston will need the staff and research facilities. A financial study of this need must be made before merging. It will take at least $200 million.
Boeing came to South Carolina because of our Right to Work Law and Trident Technical College. At a recent fundraiser for Trident Tech, I met many of the Boeing executives who bragged about the skills training at Trident.
When my brother, Robert, graduated from the College of Charleston in 1936, we had the likes of Harrison Randolph, Geissenheimer, Gilliardo and Easterby, and the best of education.
We need to build the college back to this pre-eminence. Princeton has pre-eminence in education and doesn't have a medical school, business school or law school.

Coming into the Region 8AAA game with third ranked Hanahan having won three out of their last four games, including a 40-14 whipping of James Island, the Berkeley Stags had to feel good about their chances against the Hawks.
That good feeling was gone in about three minutes Friday night at HHS.
Hanahan quarterback Mason Schwerzler made his own case for the title of Berkeley County's top quarterback, throwing for three first quarter touchdowns in the game's first four minutes, 171 yards and four TD passes overall, to lead the Hawks to a 36-0 whitewashing of Berkeley.
This game was over before the Stags ever touched the football.
Schwerzler took the opening kickoff and got his offense in range with three quick handoffs to running back Quan Wade to bring the ball to midfield.
Then Schwerzler went up top, hitting Terrell Green in stride with a 49-yard touchdown pass down the far sideline.
On the ensuing kickoff Hanahan pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat with an onside kick that caught the Stags so off guard that kicker Kyle Spigner was able to stroll along with the bouncing football until it reached 10 yards before falling on the ball to give the Hawks the ball at the Berkeley 49-yard line.
Lightning struck twice two plays later when Schwerzler again took to the friendly skies and hit Sam Denmark with an identical 49-yard touchdown pass at the 8:02 mark of the first quarter.
The Hawks had the lead, 14-0, and the Stags get the ball for the first time.
The revolving door at quarterback for the Stags of late had Matthew Harkness under center for the first series. On Berkeley's third play from scrimmage Harkness fumbled, giving the ball right back to Hanahan at the Stags' 30-yard line.
Four plays later Wade rumbled in from 10 yards out to make the score 21-0 before many Stags fans who made the trip down Hwy. 52 were able to find their seats.
Schwerzler wasn't done.
After Berkeley went three-and-out on their next possession, Schwerzler once again found Denmark, this time with a 69-yard touchdown strike and Hanahan was on top 27-0 before the first 12 minutes of play ticked off the clock.
Life didn't get much better for the Stags in the second quarter.
Joseph Dress, now in the shotgun set, drove the Stags to the Hanahan red zone before the drive stalled. A Vance Bailey field goal attempt hooked left and that would do it for the Stags offensively in the first half.
Though the scoring pace slowed in the second quarter for the Hawks, it was the defense's turn to put some points on the board. Dominique Green's pursuit of Harkness into his own end zone resulted in a safety when the Stags QB fell untouched for a sack and two points.
Schwerzler finished off his scoring night with just over 35 seconds left in the half, hitting Green for the second time with a 10-yard touchdown strike to make the score 36-0 going into the locker room.
Stags Coach Jeff Cruce told his team they needed to play with pride in the second half and they did, holding Hanahan to just 75 yards of offense in the second half.
The Stags were able to move the ball between the 20's against Hanahan, garnering 175 yards of rushing offense of their own, but their three drives inside the red zone in the second half ended with an interception, a fumble and a turnover on downs.
"We got beat by a better team tonight," said BHS Head Coach Jeff Cruce, whose Stags fall to 3-4 overall and 1-1 in Region 8AAA. "I thought we'd be better prepared."
Hanahan improved to 7-0 overall and 2-0 in region play.
The Stags return home on Friday to host Stall for Homecoming, but then must face the other two Region 8AAA teams ranked in the top 10, Orangeburg-Wilkinson at home, and Hilton Head on the road.

The Fort Dorchester boys' soccer team earned a 3-2 overtime victory over Beaufort Tuesday to move into first place for Region 8-AAAA.
Patriot coach Chris Jones was concerned last week's spring break might impact the momentum his team had built. However the Fort came off break and claimed its fifth straight victory, avenging its only region loss in the process.
The Patriots improved to 8-4 on the season with a 5-1 mark in the region. The Eagles, which defeated the Fort on penalty kicks in the region opener for both teams last month, fell to 8-3 and 4-2.
"We played a little as if we had just came off spring break, but it is good to get a win like this under those circumstances," Jones said. "Beaufort has a great group of kids and is a well-coached team so I'm happy our boys came together and got the W in what is the biggest game of the season for us so far."
After regulation ended in a tie, Fort Dorchester controlled the ball for most of overtime.
In the closing seconds of the first OT period, Alihan Ozsoylu broke free for great scoring opportunity but was illegally tackled from behind before he could take his shot. The officials placed the ball just inches outside of the box and Spencer Wilder took the free kick.
He drilled a shot just to the left of the wall and into the left side of the net for the 3-2 margin. The Patriots then continued to control the ball to keep Beaufort from getting off a shot in the second OT period.
Jones said it was nice to see the emphasis his team has placed on the 5 Minute Rule this year pay off. The rule hinges on the theory that a high percentage of goals are scored either in the first five minutes or last five minutes of a half or within five minutes of another goal being scored. Therefore, according to the rule, players should be at their most alert during those times.
"Our motto all year has been control the five minutes, follow the 5 Minute Rule," Jones said. "Our captains stepped up and said this is a great opportunity to follow the 5 Minute Rule. Right from the start (of overtime) we went for it so I am proud of them. We have talked about that, but they did it on their own tonight."
Beaufort did create one golden scoring opportunity in the first OT period. The Eagles sent a pass into the Fort box and the goalkeeper came out in an attempt to grab it. He was unable to secure it and a Beaufort player quickly slipped by him for a shot. Luckily for the Patriots, defender Clay Mahlie ran the ball down and swept it away before it could cross the goal line.
Regulation for the match was a battle that saw Beaufort take nine corner kicks while Fort Dorchester took eight.
Less than a minute into the game Lopez Hector scored for the Eagles, but the Patriots needed less than three minutes to answer. Ashton Reilly sent in a Fort corner kick that the Beaufort keeper was unable to secure. A scramble in the box followed and the ball was deflected in for a score.
With a little more than three minutes remaining in the half Caleb Sandoval and Gonzalo Millan worked the ball into the Beaufort box and Sandoval hit a shot for a 2-1 Fort advantage entering halftime.
Beaufort's other goal came 16 minutes into the second half. Following an Eagles' corner kick, Rabon Santee hit a shot from the left side of the goal.
Both teams took some nice shots afterwards, but the defenses held through the rest of regulation.

Program in Medical and Population Genetics
The Broad's Program in Medical and Population Genetics brings together a scientific community focused on understanding how genomic variation contributes to susceptibility to human disease and to an individual's response to therapy. Experts in population genetics, statistics, molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics collaborate to characterize common genetic variants and establish their role in disease.
Scientists in the Program in Medical and Population Genetics share ideas and launch collaborative projects to tackle key challenges. The program also works closely with scientists in the Genetic Analysis Platform. In addition, it collaborates with many other labs in the Harvard-MIT community and elsewhere.
Major areas of focus include:
Understanding the pattern of common genetic variation in the human population is a major focus of the program. First, this involves generating a systematic catalog of the common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human population. Second, it involves characterizing the correlations among nearby SNPs (known as haplotypes), making it possible to design genetic studies that are more efficient and powerful. With such information, it becomes possible to undertake systematic studies of the genetic factors underlying inherited susceptibility to common diseases.
Population genetics
Patterns of genetic variation shed light on recombination, demography, admixture, and evolutionary selection in the human population. In turn, knowledge about human population history helps inform studies in medical genetics.
Metabolic disease
The genetic basis of diseases associated with hormonal imbalance is being investigated. These include diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular traits, in collaboration with colleagues in Sweden and in the Framingham Heart Study.
Cancer susceptibility
Cancer risk is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic risk factors in hormone-dependent cancers are being studied, in collaboration with the USC-based Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study.
Inflammatory disease
Studies are focused on the genetic basis of autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
Medical and Population Genetics scientists are at the heart of genetic analysis projects across Broad, collaborating in the design and interpretation of genetic and genomic research efforts by developing computational methods that enable scientists to recognize and understand gene variation patterns and their influence on disease and drug response.

A traffic stop led to the arrest of a convicted felon who police said had a loaded weapon on him and a significant amount of marijuana bagged for sale.
Police in Ormond Beach pulled over 31-year-old Perrill Perkins Monday night.
According to the report, he was nervous and didn't want police searching his vehicle after a drug dog alerted on it.
Inside, police said they found the gun which was stolen during a burglary and plastic containers containing bags of pot.
Perkins previously served prison time for homicide and drug distribution. He is charged with possession of paraphernalia, grand theft of a firearm, drug offense and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Several stories can be told from this chart. One of them, explored in this NYT oped, ties the zigs and zags to the formation of political alliances. While the middle class (or, on the chart, the middle quintile) prospered, the piece of the pie owned by the wealthiest 1 percent shrunk. The ranks of the ultra-rich atrophied, with a higher portion having inherited their wealth than earned it, compared to earlier eras.
Shamus Khan writes: "In the postwar period the rich found themselves in a quandary. Their wages and their membership were static. They needed to resuscitate themselves. This required allies who shared a basic concern. The rich thought, not incorrectly, that high tax rates were handicapping their capacity to advance. And they found common ground with suburbanites who didn�t see social spending as something that enhanced their lives and neighborhoods, but as something that transferred their tax dollars to a different kind of American � urban, of a notably darker hue � who had only recently gained political legitimacy. Through a tax revolt these groups went to work dismantling social programs.
"They were terribly successful and they helped turn America on its head. Since the late 1970s, it has been average Americans who have experienced comparative wage stagnation and who are more likely than their parents to stay in the same economic position. For the rich, the story is the exact opposite."
