Another failed clear for the Boston Bruins, another goal for the Vancouver Canucks. That's been the B's kryptonite in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. This time, it was the mammoth Zdeno Chara, who rarely makes a mistake, making the mistake that led to the goal.
Daniel Sedin forced the turnover, then picked up a pass from Alex Burrows in front of Tim Thomas and lifted it into the empty net to give his club a much-needed goal in the third period. Yes, Boston, Burrows strikes again. It's now 2-2, and after the Rogers Arena crowd had been quieted for much of the latter part of the second period and the early part of the third, it's alive yet again.
Game 2 has been a seesaw, and as we wind down in regulation, it looks as though the Canucks again have the upper hand. Let's see who will have the late heroics this time around.
The Stanley Cup Finals are ongoing, as the Vancouver Canucks battle the Boston Bruins. Stick with this StoryStream for full coverage of Game 2. For coverage on the Finals, stick with our Stanley Cup Finals hub, our Canucks blog, Nucks Misconduct, and our Bruins blog, Stanley Cup of Chowder.

Not only does Borage Dry Skin Therapy 24-Hour Repair Cream moisturize on contact, but the added borage oil provides long-lasting moisturization, even after the cream wears off.

Many of you who have used Borage Therapy and have experienced relief from persistent dry skin, atopic dermatitis and eczema as a result have requested a formula for the face -- WELL - HERE IT IS.
The Healing Power of BorageThe oil extracted from the borage flower is actually the world's richest source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). This omega-6 fatty acid is vital for the formation and maintenance of healthy skin cells. Clinical studies show that borage oil provides longterm relief for people who suffer from chronic skin conditions. ShiKai Borage Therapy is the most effective way to utilize the healing properties of borage.What is Borage? BORAGE (borago officinalis), commonly called "starflower", is a well known herb which can be found in almost all temperate regions of the world.
The plant grows 18" to 36" high and spreads 12" to 20" wide. The leaves can become straggly and messy, but its abundant bright blue, star-shaped flowers, which bloom most of the summer, make the plant one of the prettiest and most colorful herbs. It can frequently be found bordering herb and vegetable gardens and it is reported that fields of cultivated borage plants in North America create a vivid green and purple landscape.
Borage is commercially grown for the very valuable oil found in its seeds. The great value of this oil is that it produces the highest yield (up to 24%) of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA. Among other benefits, GLA is essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy skin cell membranes.
SHIKAI Borage Therapy delivers omega-6 benefits directly to the cells for healthier, moister skin.
Gently massage onto face and neck. Use am. and pm. alone or under make-up. Even a small amount is effective, so use sparinly.
Long-term skin regeneration may take up to six weeks. Use daily for best results.

A victory for a group of Limestone Township residents Thursday.
By a margin of 4 to 3 the Peoria County Zoning Board denied a request by a Washington developer to allow rural residential construction on land off Smithville Road.
It's a debate that's taking place across Central Illinois, how to prevent encroachment on prime farm land without hampering development and that's Thursday's top story.
A group of local residents calling itself "Preserve Farm Land" argued against the proposed subdivision, saying the 17 lots on over 70 acres would create safety issues and result in unnecessary urban sprawl.
The zoning board sided with the residents, primarily because a rural residential classification would allow for more development in the future.
"I think most of the board members felt the intentions of this developer were very well-meaning, reasonable, both sides made great presentations and everyone was credible, but if plans change I think the majority of the board members was that we could end up having a parcel with 70 one acre lots on it." said Troy Roberts, Chairman of Peoria County Zoning Board.
The case will now go before the Land Use Committee on May 24th and will eventually be heard by the Peoria County Board. Washington Trails Edge is the developer.

EMSDALE – The Township of Perry has no intention of getting out of the information business, though they are waiting on interested parties to take over.
In a conference call with Mayor John Dunn and clerk Beth Morton on Monday, Morton confirmed that they are awaiting request for proposal submissions from interested parties to take over operations of the Almaguin Highlands Information Centre.
"We have two very, very interested individuals," said Morton.
The intent is for a business to move in and take over the operation of the information centre.
"There has never been an intention of getting out of the information business," said Dunn.
The Township of Perry has invested in technology at AHIC and different ways of advertising.
"We want to make sure that whatever goes there is an enhancement to the information centre," said Dunn.
Dunn adds that they are hoping the farmers' market, which began for the season this past summer at the gazebo, will continue.
"We're trying to get the people who are doing the farmers' market to find the farmers' and have a committee," he said. "It's not a profit thing for the town."
Dunn says the information centre costs about $70,000 annually to operate.
The RFP's, which are due at the end of January, will be brought to council for consideration in February.
Neither Dunn nor Morton could confirm the fate of the employees currently employed at the information centre, a matter that has been discussed in closed session.

Relax and get 'Good Hair'
Call the Bay View for free tickets to a special screening in San Francisco Wednesday, Oct. 21, 7 p.m.
by Esther Iverem
When I asked Rock about these omissions and deletions during a recent interview in Washington, D.C., Rock joked with a good-natured assurance that those of us who are au naturale belong to a small set of the Black population that goes to concerts featuring Common or Erykah Badu, as opposed to the masses following the likes of Lil Wayne. He reasoned further that a film, for example, about people with locs doing their hair "with shampoo and beeswax" couldn't compete with the footage, much of it a spectacle, that he and director Jeff Stilson have gathered for "Good Hair."
I guess it depends on what world you are living in – but Rock is from Brooklyn! – and what you are trying to say. No doubt, another treatise on natural hair, such as the 1997 "Middle Passage-N-Roots" by Ada Marie Babino or the 1984 "Hair Piece: A Film for Nappyheaded People" by Ayoka Chenzira could not compare to the surreal scene in "Good Hair" of the annual Bronner Bros. International Hair and Beauty Show in Atlanta.
At the show, hair stylists compete – in fishtanks, with near-naked models and while hanging upside down – to win first prize. But the show, with its dizzying statistics on the amount of money that Black people spend on hair care, the fact that most vendors and manufacturers are Asian, and the emphasis on relaxers and weaves – also amounts to a testament to the opposite of Black power. That testament about our lack of empowerment is delivered full blast while there is little acknowledgment of the African American resistance to a European beauty standard or our embracing of our own curls, waves, naps, braids and locs.
So, even though Rock includes very briefly two women who have turned their back on chemicals – the "creamy crack" one woman calls it – and exposes the ridiculous expense of most weaves, as well as the toxicity of the sodium hydroxide found in most relaxers, including so-called "kiddie perms," Rock glosses over the important history of our difficult and wonderful journey to reject straightened hair and embrace our natural selves.
In "Good Hair," we are only left with ridicule and a joke. I screened this movie with a predominantly White group of critics and every time they laughed, I knew they were laughing at Black people and not with Black people. Again, I guess it depends on what world you are living in and what you are trying to say. It's obvious that Rock is choosing to make his case with a mixture of (literal) acid and humor.
Those who think they know everything on this subject will still find Rock's journey to India illuminating. Apparently, much of or most of the human hair used for weaves – and not just for Black people – comes from India, from a Hindu ceremony, wherein pilgrims are shaved bald in an act of humility and sacrifice. The temples, where these offerings are made, earn billions from the sale of hair, which is used for charity. The hair is sold to India's hair industry, where it is washed, sanitized and sewn into strips that are eventually placed onto the heads of women getting a "weave."
These weaves are the norm in Hollywood. Actress Nia Long sat next to Rock during his D.C. interview and said point blank that if she wore her hair naturally that she wouldn't be considered for the role of a leading lady or "love interest" in movies. The charismatic Raven Symone is one of several actresses that come before the camera in "Good Hair" to detail their experiences with wearing hair from India, or wherever.
There are some obvious missing links (bald spots?) in "Good Hair." Rock says that he began this hair journey when one of his daughters asked him why she didn't have "good hair." She had been asked this by a child at her school.
But even though this question originated at home, Rock's wife, who would be the obvious person to oversee the hair maintenance of her daughters, is not included in the movie at all. By all appearances, it certainly looks as if Malaak Compton-Rock sports some combination of relaxed and/or weaved hair but we don't get to hear any comment from her on the subject. Her absence is conspicuous in "Good Hair," even more so than the absence of natural hairdos.
Esther Iverem is the editor and film critic for SeeingBlack.com and the author of the critically praised "We Gotta Have It: Twenty Years of Seeing Black at the Movies, 1986-2006." Read and search hundreds of reviews on SeeingBlack.com's Movies/TV channel and archive.
One thought on "Relax and get 'Good Hair'"
Esther I think you're missing the point. Mr. Rock is attempting to wake up a lot sleeping "negroes" who are trying to fulfill a "White Dream". It's pathetic to see Black women straightening their young daughters hair, for their child to be excepted in a society that demands that they disregard their own god given image to assimilate. Instead that Black mother should make an attempt to educate her child that hair texture doesn't define them, you can fine the so-called "kinky" hair in parts of Asia, Latin Amer., etc the majority of Black parents are not seeking true information about historical Afica if that was the case Chris Rock would not have to make this documentery, there would be no gang violence, AIDS or drug addiction. If the majority of BLACK, AFRICAN people reach back get connected to our African, history and culture….

A Bible study for middle school girls. We are currently reading through the book "One Girl Can Change the World" by Claudia Mitchell and Kim Goad. Each week we read a chapter and discuss how we can apply the Biblical principles to our lives. A major theme in the book is discovering our God-given talents and using them for His glory. So, every six weeks we do a craft project. We have screen-printed our own t-shirts, painted glass goblets and made African beaded bracelets.
We ask that each girl pay DUES of $20 to cover the cost of the book. We also ask that they contribute DO'S of $10 so at the end of each semester we can DO something with it. For Christmas, HIS adopted two young girls in our community and provided them with some AWESOME presents!! We were truly blessed to be able to serve!

There's nothing quite like a perfectly prepared piece of French toast. The outside is ever so crisp and the inside is moist and tender. Ordinary bread suddenly becomes a playground for maple syrup and other toppings. Use extraordinary bread and you're in for a guaranteed breakfast bonanza.
Here's 15 of the best French toast recipes on MrBreakfast.com:
Everybody needs a good go-to French toast recipe. This is mine. The custard that you dip the bread into is a simple combination of milk, beaten eggs, sugar and a hint of salt. If you're craving no-frills, classic diner-style French toast, this is a recipe you should try. Get the recipe here.
I can still remember the first time I tried Crunchy French Toast. It was several years ago at a restaurant in Los Angeles called Fred 62. I took a bite and was an immediate fan. A crisp French toast exterior is great. A crunchy exterior is even greater. The trick is dragging your bread through crushed corn flakes after you dip it in an egg and milk mixture. Get the recipe here.
#3. Cinnamon Crunch French Toast
Once you try Crunchy French Toast (#2), you might want to explore other ways to achieve a crunchy French Toast exterior. In this recipe, the crushed corn flakes from the previous recipe are replaced with crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Get the recipe here.

He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.
However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!
Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

2 guys in this era who I would have absolutely loved to have seen in the ring against Floyd ?
Vernon Forest and Winky Wright.
Both had excellent jabs, were accurate punchers from all distances and excellent defenses.
THOSE would have clearly been difficult fights for Floyd.

These are just my predictions for the Bobcats starters. This is based off the handful of games that I watched and some stats from each of the guys. Considering that they are my predictions you can probably go on to assume that they are all wrong and Mike Dunlap will do everything the opposite of me.
- Kemba Walker - I got Kemba starting at the point guard more based off of who I have at the other positions and the way he plays the game. Kemba is not a distributing point guard by any means. He will get his four to five assists but he is a scoring guard. I also remember upon Dunlap being hired him stating that he wanted Walker to be his point guard and that he liked his game.
- Gerald Henderson - Hendo is starting by default. Ben Gordon is the bench spark plug and that is where we will need him the most. Henderson is not a bad option (for this team) and can score/ create his own shot. That is the other reason he starts with Walker, who won't be setting him up, which is what Gordon needs.
- MKG - MKG is starting because he was the number two draft pick. If you don't start him he loses confidence and with his awful jump shot who knows where his head will go. He is also a great energy guy and will add a toughness to this starting lineup along with Kemba. I really like the parallel between MKG's game and Andrei Kirilenko's game. Kirilenko is not phenomenal at offense but he scraps and scores. He also stuffs the stat sheet with double digit points, 5-6 rebounds, 3-4 assists, a couple steals, and a block. I think that is MKG this year.
- Mullens - I am taking Mullens solely based off the way that he is playing in the preseason. How do you not start him. The guy is a true 7 footer knocking down three's, rebounding, and diving all over the floors. He has to be a starter especially in this Dunlap run system his effort will be a great asset to the team.
- Haywood - I would have had put Mullens here but they desperately need someone to hold down the inside. The Bobcats were 27th in opponent offensive rebounding rate last year. And they were dead last in opponent points allowed in the paint. So hopefully Haywood will be able to bring them back from the dead.
Let's get some debate going below on who you think will start. WE NEED TO GET EXCITED.

Southampton car showroom closes after break-in
12:30pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Crime
A SOUTHAMPTON car showroom was forced to close yesterday after being targeted by thieves.
Officers were called to Doves Vauxhall, in The Avenue, yesterday morning after staff arrived at work to find the building had been broken into overnight.
Crime scene specialists spent the day at the showroom gathering evidence, but it seems the offenders forced their way into the premises, including the workshop, where thorough searches were made.
It is not yet clear what has been stolen, but police are working with staff to clarify what has been taken.
Customers hoping to collect cars from the showroom were informed yesterday that the break-in had forced management to close the site while police carried out their investigations.

text: A Gwinnett County community is pulling together after a music teacher nearly died six months ago after contracting dangerous bacterial infection. Karen Thieken suffered permanent hearing loss after fighting the infection. Doctors told her it was the same bacteria that causes flesh-eating disease. Thieken is still recovering physically and financially."I have the luxury for not remembering the majority of it because I was out and in a medically-induced coma for so long," said Thieken.Her husband, Paul, a music teacher, remembers every bit of it all too clearly."There's two strains. One is the flesh-eating and the other shuts down all the organs," said Paul Thieken. "Every medical professional told me who saw Karen, even three days later, said they never thought they'd see her again. We know it's a miracle."Six months after fighting for her life in ICU, Karen is now able to walk and hug every person who cane to a Lawrenceville restaurant to support her. The community is raising money so the Thieken's can pay their medical bills and buy a hearing aid.The illness cost Karen the hearing on her right side."This is what churches do. We're a community, a community of believers. That we're here for each and we're here to support Karen and Paul and their kids tonight. She's a complete miracle that she survived this," said Rob Bruce."This will make a huge difference... we were both out of work," said Paul Thieken."I think the neatest thing is that here at Pollo Tropical, we're in the shadow of Gwinnett Medical Center where my life was saved. So it's kind of interesting to have it come full circle," said Karen Thieken.Karen says she still deals with pain and extreme fatigue. Doctors believe she picked up the bacteria and got it in to her system when she scratched her neck that was affected by eczema.

Business, Big Nerd Style
At Big Nerd Ranch in Atlanta, Ga., New College alumnus Aaron Hillegass wears the big hat.
As the founder, former CEO and now chief learning officer of the training and software development firm, he embraces his "nerd-dom" with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for sharing that knowledge with others. His specialty is crafting creative and approachable ways to teach the development of mobile apps and software — a brilliantly unique approach to teaching that sets Big Nerd Ranch apart.
"The puzzle in any business is to figure out how to use your passions to make money," he says. "One without the other is unsustainable. At Big Nerd Ranch, we are passionate about learning. Through learning we develop expertise, and we sell this expertise through our classes and our consulting."
Hillegass is consistently named one of the top 25 most influential people in the Mac community by MacTech. He is also the author of Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X and coauthor of Advanced Mac OS X Programming and iPhone Programming: the Big Nerd Ranch Guide. Under his leadership, Big Nerd Ranch has grown to more than 80 employees, including New College alumni Nate Chandler, Jeremy Sherman and Brian Stanwyck.
"To succeed in business you need a unique specialty, something that sets you apart from competitors," Hillegass says. "You also need to think creatively. My experience at New College helped me with the creative process to come up with ideas and be critical enough to throw out the bad ones."
Those good ideas have made Big Nerd Ranch a global success with corporate training on five continents and an impressive client roster of Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T, Boeing, Facebook, Google, Intuit, Pixar, Procter & Gamble and UPS. In fact, Big Nerd Ranch ran an intensive program last summer for Facebook staff to learn how to code native apps for iOS and Android, according to a report on Engadget.com. The training ran for eight hours each day for five days, with the goal that participants could start writing code for the apps the very next Monday.
And a merger last fall between Big Nerd Ranch and Highgroove Studios, a nearby web services company, has allowed Hillegass to realign with his passion for teaching and training.
From NCF Geek to Big Nerd
"I learned to write at New College," he says. "The way we marketed the company was by writing books, which established me as an expert in the field. Then I could sell all sorts of training." Hillegass' first book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, was published originally in 2001 and is widely considered the bible of Mac programming. It is now in its fourth edition with translations in French, German, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
While a New College student, he took his first professional programming job implementing signal processing algorithms at MITRE Corporation, a military contractor in the Washington, D.C., area near his hometown of Alexandria, Va. He also did an Independent Study Project there on neural networks.
After graduating from New College in 1991, Hillegass attended graduate school at the University of Washington, but he left early for an opportunity at NeXt Inc., the company founded by Steve Jobs. Apple purchased the company in 1996, and in 2000, Hillegass was asked to teach Apple engineers how to write apps for a new operating system — Mac OS X.
One year later, Hillegass cofounded Big Nerd Ranch with his childhood friend, Emily Herman. They focused the company on Apple technologies, a big risk at a time when Apple's stock was trading under $10. "What looks like a great idea now looked a lot like lunacy then," Hillegass recalls.
But having worked at NeXT and then Apple, Hillegass believed three factors would create a great opportunity: "Apple, with its purchase of NeXT, had a great technology platform to build upon. Steve Jobs, who had come along as part of the purchase, was creating a culture that could execute his vision. And as a consumer brand, Apple had no interest in the messy business that is professional services. I created Big Nerd Ranch to fill that hole."
And he has done just that. At Big Nerd Ranch trainers are more like mentors. They teach classes in remote conference centers, and students eat all their meals together and walk together in the afternoons.
"I wanted to create an environment for concentration and experimentation. The closest thing I could find was the idea of a monastic retreat," says Hillegass, who was inspired after spending a summer volunteering at the Omega Institute, a retreat center in Rhinebeck, N.Y. "I wanted to call it 'The Big Nerd Monastery,' but I thought that would make sales difficult. I tried to find something that evoked a similar feeling, and the dude ranch was as close as I could get."
The Ideal "Nerd"
"We try to find someone who is sharp enough to learn new things. We're in a very fast-moving industry. You need someone who can absorb new ideas and use them. I look for people who are self-starters. I want to be able to give them a big task, and six months later find it done."
New College alumnus Jeremy Sherman began at Big Nerd Ranch in 2008 within six months of graduation. He says his New College degree prepared him to learn quickly on the job by poring over the software guides to get up to speed. Now as a software engineer, he develops Mac and iOS software, applications, background processes that collect data and USB extensions for different USB devices. His Area of Concentration (AOC) at New College was Mathematics and Computational Science.
Alumnus Nate Chandler joined Big Nerd Ranch in September 2011 developing apps for Mac and iOS. As a New College student he completed an Independent Study Project in bioinformatics programming at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque, N.M. With an AOC in Mathematics, he also worked on faculty research in algebraic topology with Professor David Mullins. His current employee profile reads, "It's no wonder Nate is such a skilled software engineer — his brain is always working. This is a man who studies higher mathematics and reads philosophy in his free time."
Nearby in Atlanta, Brian Stanwyck had started working at Highgroove Studios within three months of his 2011 graduation from New College. He didn't know that soon he'd be working for a fellow Novo Collegian developing web apps.
"I didn't know until the day of the merge that Aaron was a New College alum," Stanwyck recalls. "It was pretty cool actually, because it was a point of contact, something familiar between us, all of us."
Stanwyck was in several New College classes with Chandler, including an abstract algebra class in which Stanwyck was a teaching assistant. "Nate probably knew more than me," he says.
Stanwyck's title now? "Nerd. That's what's actually in my employment contract."
Hillegass says his experience with New College students has been very good. "They fit that mold of hardworking, brilliant and kind. Every spring I call Dr. [Pat] McDonald to beg for the names of some soon-to-be-graduates with technical ability. I am always looking for employees who want to spend their lives learning."
Love of Learning
"Getting a company going is hard — you wake up each morning thinking, 'I've got to make something happen! Today has to be different than yesterday.' Once you have a healthy growing company, you wake each morning thinking, 'Boy, I hope nothing happens today. Yesterday was great — I hope today will be exactly the same.' That is, when you start a company you are trying to set fires, and later on you spend your energies trying to put out fires. Few leaders enjoy both situations."
His solution was found in Charles Brian Quinn, owner and CEO of Highgroove Studios, which was providing web services in the cloud for large companies.
"For nearly all mobile applications there are two pieces: the client and the web service," Hillegass explains. "The client is the app that runs on your mobile device; it can be written for iOS, Android, Windows 8 or HTML5. Big Nerd Ranch is an expert in writing clients. The web service is a process that runs in the cloud. A mobile client talking to a web service in the cloud is cornerstone of what pundits call 'The Post-PC Era.'"
With the merger, Big Nerd Ranch now offers its clients end-to-end solutions for mobile applications that access data in the cloud. And Hillegass has returned to what he loves: coding, teaching, writing and mentoring the younger engineers.
"It's wonderful. I love my job so much more. It's wonderful in every way. I feel genuinely useful in my new role, and I get to facilitate ways we can all learn from each other."
One of those ways is "Clash of the Coders," a recent 48-hour programming contest in which all engineers at Big Nerd Ranch competed. "They put themselves into teams, learned something new as they created any app they wanted, and the creators of the best app were showered with a dazzling array of prizes," Hillegass explains. "And while I recused myself from winning, I did get to code all day, with breaks only for meals. Just like the old days."
Hillegass admits that it has taken a leap of faith to pass over the reigns of the company he founded, but he trusts in Quinn's leadership.
"In a gesture of kindness, Charles has given me a bad-ass title: Chief Learning Officer. I suspect, however, that I will simply be known as 'the old nerd.'"

Strength Training Tips for Beginners
April 4, 2013 at 11:39 am , by Amelia Harnish
Why do you need to think about your muscles? Well, aside from making you look toned and fabulous, weight training also protects your joints, strengthens your bones and even revs your metabolism. As important as it is to get your heart rate up with walking, jogging or other aerobic activities, strength training is worth its weight in added health benefits. And with swimsuit season rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to get started. Here are a few beginners' tips from Deborah McConnell, a global master fitness trainer from the Life Fitness Academy.
Warm up first: "You want to wake up your joints and loosen up a bit beforehand to prevent injuries," says McConnell. Power walking, jogging or a little time on a treadmill or elliptical are all good options. Do it for at least five to 10 minutes.
Find the right routine: You'll need to do a bit of homework to find a training program that's right for you. "In general, I recommend beginners start with a full body routine. Do eight to 10 exercises that hit all the major muscle groups, and start with eight to 12 reps each," says McConnell. Try this basic routine from Jillian Michaels or check out the American Council on Exercise's Kick-Start Challenge.
Practice good form: A strong core is essential for weight lifting, whether you're using dumbbells, cable machines or your own body weight. Be sure to engage your core for every repetition, and don't forget to breathe. "Every movement should be slow and controlled. You can get hurt rushing through it," says McConnell. If you're using weights, make sure it's challenging, but light enough for you to get through each set with proper form.
Space out your sessions: Your muscles need time to rest and recover to get stronger. Shoot for two to three strength training workouts a week, with at least 24 hours between each one, says McConnell.
Don't forget to stretch: Evidence is mounting that you shouldn't stretch before exercise, but there is still good reason to stretch afterward. In fact, it's a good idea to break between sets to stretch and relax the muscles you just worked on, says McConnell. When stretching, gently hold until the muscle relaxes. Sudden movements or bouncing can lead to injury.

Republicans signaled their willingness to fight to hold their majority on the Wake County Board of Commissioners last week, with three incumbents and a like-minded newcomer arriving in unison to file as candidates in this years elections.
All four seats up for election on the seven-member board this year are held by Republicans. Of the four, only Tony Gurley will not run again, because the third district has been redrawn since his election and he no longer lives within its boundaries.
Board Chairman Phil Matthews, along with fellow incumbents Joe Bryan and Paul Coble, encouraged political newcomer Rich Gianni to run for Gurleys seat.
All five men trudged through leftover ice and snow Friday afternoon to meet at the elections office in a show of solidarity that reflected the way they have worked together since Republicans took over the majority in 2010.
We just felt that it would show a good strong team effort, Matthews said. Were willing to work together, and continue the good work that weve done the past three years.
Democrats have complained that Republicans have at times worked too closely with one another, excluding other points of view.
I dont think theyll be successful at keeping their majority on our board, said longtime commissioner Betty Lou Ward, one of the panels three Democrats along with Caroline Sullivan and James West. I think theyve had their time.
So far, one Democrat has filed to run for an open seat: Matt Calabria, who will challenge Matthews in District 2. Others are expected.
Since they took the majority on the board, Republicans have emphasized their desire to keep from raising taxes and cited that over-arching goal as they inserted themselves deep into the process of building schools. Thats a statutory function of the board of education, which determines where and how schools will be built but must get funding and approval from the board of commissioners.
The board of education is led by a Democratic majority. Republican commissioners have said repeatedly they would be better stewards of the publics money, including the $810 million in bonds county voters approved last year for school construction and improvements.
Republicans have said they will try again this year to get the legislature to allow commissioners to take control of the school-construction process, which they failed to do last year. Matthews has said that if Republicans can control the process, they might be able to stall or even prevent tax increases that voters were told would be necessary to pay for the bonds. That could involve postponing or significantly changing some of the new schools and renovation projects the bonds were designed to fund.
The board also has been divided over the future of transit in the county, with Republicans loathe to spend public money on projects they say would benefit mostly those who live and work in Raleigh, Cary or RTP, at the shared expense of those who live in Wakes more rural communities. Democrats have said its important to move forward with transit planning, including for light rail, so it can be coordinated with work underway in Durham and Orange counties and because continued rapid growth in Wake will make it more difficult and costly to secure rail routes.
If Democrats regain control of the Board of Commissioners this fall, Matthews and his fellow GOP members have said, spending and taxes are sure to rise.
Im afraid spending could get out of hand extremely quick, Matthews said. Their approach it wouldnt take long to see the fund balance start drying up, taxes going up, and we might even lose our AAA bond rating. It should be a big concern to people.
West said such claims are an attempt to further divide voters.
Just to say that if you get another Democrat on the board, youre going to start throwing money away and not be efficient and effective? I dont agree with that, West said.
In talking with possible candidates to run for the open seats, West said, We want people who will govern well and use common sense. Its not about the left or the right. Its about the people.
Calabria, the Democrat who filed as a candidate last week, lives in Fuquay-Varina with his wife and works in Raleigh as a commercial lawyer. His only political experience is serving as student-body president while he attended UNC, but he is critical of the effort by Republican commissioners to take over school construction, ownership and maintenance. The effort has created the appearance of instability in the county, he said, which is disconcerting to families and business leaders.
Gianni, also new to politics, is chief financial officer for Ziptronix, a Raleigh semiconductor company. Originally from West Virginia, he has lived in the Triangle for more than 20 years and has spent his professional life in budget management, mostly for startups. He and his wife and their youngest child live in Cary.
Gianni said he would like to use his budget and cash management expertise to help conservatives decide how to spend taxpayers money.
Coble, who is seeking his third term as the commissioner from District 7, said the difference between the way conservatives and progressives look at a budget may come down to a matter of planning.
I tell people, If its a good idea, Ill spend the money if its there, Coble said. Democrats will say, Its a good idea, lets do it, and then figure out how to pay for it.
The brilliance of a democracy, he said, is that, You get both schools of thought to come to the table. I would never want a board of all conservatives or a board of all liberals. You need to have that argument.
The filing period is open through Feb. 28.

Track Signs Massachusetts Shot Put Champion
April 28, 2003
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville University track team has announced the signing of Stephanie Jeffers (Barnstable, Mass.), the 2003 Massachusetts Indoor state champion in the shot put, to a national letter of intent Monday. The Dolphins also inked Ashley Williams (Oklahoma City, Okla.), a three-time state champ in the 400-meter dash, and local cross country standout Stacey Ollar (Jacksonville/Mandarin).
Jeffers, a senior at Barnstable (Mass.) High School, captured indoor shot put titles in both the Massachusetts and New England Indoor Championships as a senior, while establishing a new personal best with a mark of 43-11'1/2" at the New England Indoor Championships. Williams is a three-time 5A state champion in the 400-meter dash at Putnam City North (Okla.) High School. Ollar, a senior at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, earned cross country Gateway All-Conference honors as a senior and led the Mustangs to conference championships her sophomore and junior seasons, while serving as team captain the past three seasons.
"These three young athletes will provide quality and depth for our program at the conference level," said head track coach Ron Grigg. "But, most importantly, they possess the quality of character which will fit extremely well within our program."
The Dolphins returns to action Sunday, May 4 at the Florida Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.

Jaguars release DT Henderson and four others
The Jaguars announced Monday the release of four players, including two-time Pro Bowl DT John Henderson.
2010 draft choices by team: Jaguars
Here are the players who were chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2010 NFL draft.
Jaguars pleased with compensation for Groves
What was Al Davis thinking? That is what we're hearing in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars acquired a fifth-round pick the day before the draft in exchange for underachieving DE Quentin Groves.
Jaguars get great value in Morrison deal
Quentin Groves was sent to Oakland on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick. Now, the Jaguars have acquired MLB Kirk Morrison and another fifth-rounder in exchange for their fourth-round pick.
Jaguars acquire LB Morrison
The Jaguars continued to bolster their defense on Saturday as they traded their fourth-round pick to the Raiders for ILB Kirk Morrison and Oakland's fifth-round pick.
Jaguars continue strengthening D-line
With only one selection on Day Two of the draft (74th overall), Gene Smith and the Jaguars continued rebuilding the defensive line, selecting their second tackle of the weekend, Louisiana Tech DT D'Anthony Smith.
Smith turns heads with Alualu pick
GM Gene Smith provided the first big surprise of Draft Day with the selection of Cal DE Tyson Alualu. When teamed with offseason acquisition Aaron Kampman and rookie Terrance Knighton, the Jaguars' defensive line should possess a tenacity that was ...
Alualu, that's who!
Eric Edholm shares his thoughts on Jaguars first-round pick Tyson Alualu. He'll make frequent posts throughout the draft, in his "Around the NFL" blog.
Raiders acquire DE Groves for fifth-round pick
The Raiders dealt a 2010 fifth-round pick to the Jaguars for DE Quentin Groves, according to reports.
Jaguars sign DE Hayward
The Jaguars announced Thursday that they have re-signed UFA DE Reggie Hayward.
Receiver not a priority for Jaguars in this year's draft
The Jaguars find themselves in an unfamiliar position as they prepare for the draft. The way we hear it, the club feels good about the WR position for the first time in years.
Jaguars' season-ticket holders not in favor of drafting Tebow
Despite Tim Tebow's rock-star status in his hometown of Jacksonville, some Jaguars fans are coming to the realization that drafting the local hero to resurrect the slumbering fan base is not the answer.
Kampman signing another step in the right direction for Jaguars
While the Jaguars still have a long way to go in fixing their defense — plenty of help is still needed on the defensive line in addition to outside linebacker and free safety — the signing of DE Aaron Kampman is a ...
Report: Jaguars sign Kampman
The Florida Times-Union reported late Saturday evening that the Jaguars agreed to terms on a contract with unrestricted free agent Aaron Kampman, a key defender for the Packers the last eight seasons.
Jaguars add ex-Charger Osgood
The Jaguars signed unrestricted free-agent WR-ST Kassim Osgood on Saturday, adding a proven special-teams player and a potential contributor to their WR corps.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed Grimes off waivers from Houston.||||||| Grimes played in nine games this season, six with the Texans and three with the New York Jets. He carried twice for 6 yards with the Jets. The Jaguars needed depth at running back. Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) and Rashad Jennings (concussion/shoulder) are out Sunday against New England, and backups Jalen Parmele and Jordan Todman are on injured reserve.

Acting with Technology
Books published in the Acting With Technology Series are concerned with the study of meaningful human activity as it is mediated by tools and technologies. The Series has a broad interdisciplinary scope. While grounded in science and technology studies, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported collaborative work, the series aims to bring together and mutually inform conceptual developments and empirical explorations of the technological mediation of human activity in these and other fields such as sociology, communication, education, and organizational studies. Acting With Technology volumes encompass a diversity of theoretical frameworks including activity theory, actor network theory, distributed cognition, and other practice-based theories developed through ethnomethodological and grounded theory approaches. The books investigate tool-mediated processes of working, organizing, playing, and learning in and across a wide variety of social settings, with a special focus on significant contemporary issues related to emerging technology-related trends in culture and society.
Our goal is to publish the best new books both research monographs and textbooks that contribute to a discussion of technology as a crucial facet of human activity enacted in rich social and physical contexts. We are especially interested in manuscripts that integrate theoretical or disciplinary streams, and/or are based on research that combines macro-micro levels of analysis.
For inquiries regarding publication in the series, please contact a series editor or Marguerite Avery (617.253.1653) at The MIT Press.

Mew-Genics to feature different characters on different days
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Feb 16, 2014 02.16.14
Team Meat's upcoming game, Mew-Genics, will feature side characters that rotate out based on the time and day of the week, co-creator Edmund McMillen announced via the developer's blog. Each character will play a different role than Mew-Genics' main cast, introduced shortly after the game's announcement. According to McMillen, secondary characters could offer players something or perhaps "help you break into the cat genetics lab." Some characters will never actually appear in-game, but will only interact with players through letters. "Most of these new side characters will appear and ask something of you," McMillen wrote. McMillen also adds that the game has also taken "one final sharp turn" in development. Mew-Genics, announced in 2012, is being developed for Android, iOS and...

Team Meat releases second track for Mew-Genics
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Dec 29, 2013 12.29.13
Mew-Genics developer Team Meat released the second track, "Dirty Mittens," for its upcoming cat-breeding game. The game's music is being produced by two-man band Ridiculon. "Dirty Mittens," is an upbeat, brassy track available to download for $1 via Ridiculon's Bandcamp page. According to Team Meat co-founder Edmund McMillen, the song is one of 12 "jukebox" tracks that will loop through the game. "They change with the weather, so when it starts to rain it will cue up the slow moody tracks, or when it gets really hot the more fast paced tracks appear," McMillen wrote. You can listen to the track above. Team Meat released the first song from the game's soundtrack, "The Ballad of D. Claude," earlier this year. Mew-Genics is currently being developed for Android, iOS and Steam. A...

Mew-Genics will encourage you to hoard items
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Dec 01, 2013 12.01.13
Mew-Genics, Team Meat's upcoming cat-centric game, will feature hoardable items with special properties, co-founder Edmund McMillen announced via the game's blog. Players can buy different items in-game from the "Hoarders R Us" store. Each item has a special property, such as clocks that manipulate time or microwaves that raise the chance of mutations. Items can be collected in sets and will also impact a cat's identity. "Most know this design from Animal Crossing, you collect items to fill your house, it's basically the core of what Animal Crossing is," McMillen wrote. "But with Mew-Genics, we wanted to make this collecting/hoarding aspect more meaningful, we wanted it to go beyond basic hoarding for hoardings sake and into something that impacted gameplay." Mew-Genics is being...
Mew-Genics won't be playable at PAX after all, but here's a teaser trailer
By Brian Crecente on Aug 31, 2013 08.31.13
Team Meat will no longer be showing their upcoming iOS and Steam game, Mew-Genics, at PAX this weekend because they don't believe the demo will do the game justice, but they did release this new trailer. Mew-Genics is still very much a nebulous thing. As catchy as this new trailer (featuring music by Ridiculon) is, it doesn't really help define the game much more. Edmund McMillen, in his email announcing the trailer, describes the game as many things, all of them cat-centric. It is a cat breeding sim, a cat fighting sim, a cat hoarding sim, a cat pageant sim, a cat racing sim, he wrote. "At its foundation Mew-Genics is a randomly generated game that gives back the more you play it ... and its honestly quite hard to sum up in one articulate sentence," he wrote. "The best we can do is:...

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Jun 29, 2013 06.29.13
Team Meat will bring the first playable build of its randomly generated, cat-centric title, Mew-Genics, to PAX Prime, the developer announced via its website. In addition to the game, Team Meat will also have an official 28-page Mew-Genics comic filled with "funformation." No other details about the game or the comic were provided. Mew-Genics was announced in October of last year. Team Meat describes it as "a cross between Pokemon and The Sims with a sprinkling of Animal Crossing and a dash of Tamagotchi." The game is expected to launch for Steam, iOS, Android and possibly more. PAX Prime will take place in Seattle, Wash., from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. Polygon will be reporting live from the event.

Mew-Genics gameplay is unlike anything ever seen before, creator says
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Feb 23, 2013 02.23.13
Team Meat co-founder and Mew-Genics co-creator Edmund McMillen has only hinted at gameplay for the upcoming cat-centric title, but the designer's recent update explains that it will be unlike any other game. "I think most would describe Mew-Genics as a cross between The Sims and Pokémon with a sprinkling of Animal Crossing and a dash of Tamagotchi," McMillen wrote, "but at its core the game really isn't like anything we've seen before." Previous information revealed that players will be able to breed cats, enter them into pageants or even freeze them for safe-keeping. "I could write a book on the design of Mew-genics, it's by far the most complex game I've ever worked on and it's definitely pushing us both on many levels, but I think the best way to describe how Mew-Genics plays is...

By Emily Gera on Feb 11, 2013 02.11.13
Team Meat is offering up a track from the soundtrack of their upcoming Mew-Genics, which can be either streamed for free or downloaded at any price from online music store Bandcamp. "The Ballad of D. Claude" is described as one of the team's favorite tracks off of the cat-centric title's album. Lyrics to the song are available through Bandcamp, with a few poetic gems such as "My face ain't pretty, it's kinda loafy/And my butt ain't gonna win a cat ass trophy." A video teaser released by Team Meat last month offered the first look at the game's soundtrack, all of which is written and produced by the two-man band Ridiculon. The game will feature 10 songs in total. Mew-Genics is set to launch on iOS devices and other yet-to-be-revealed platforms. No release date is announced as of yet.

Team Meat put next Super Meat Boy game on 'pause' for Mew-Genics
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Feb 03, 2013 02.03.13
Team Meat put plans for a new Super Meat Boy on hold in order to focus full-time on their upcoming game Mew-Genics, according to a recent blog post from Edmund McMillen. According to McMillen, Mew-Genics was created for game jam Ludum Dare 24, where McMillen and Team Meat colleague Tommy Refenes working around the themes of "Evolution" and "100 Cats." "We thought the game actually had some odd potential and decided to work on it for another couple weeks to see where we ended up," McMillen wrote. "By week three Mew-Genics had taken the form of a monster mashup of many different game genres with an underlying theme we hadn't seen done in games before ... so we decided to officially pause work on the next Super Meat Boy and remake Mew-Genics outside of flash, making it our new full-time...

Team Meat's latest teaser update for Mew-Genics revealed that players will receive mail in-game Edmund McMillen calls "vital." "It keeps you up to date on what all your friends (and enemies) are up to, gets you into many upcoming contests and even drops some knowledge into that little brain of yours in [the] form of vital cat facts," McMillen wrote. A release date for Mew-Genics has not yet been announced, though Team Meat continues to reveal new information every "Caturday."
