In this race, volunteers don't hand you water - they douse you in dye

Participants in the Boston Color Me Rad 5K race will start with white T-shirts and clean faces. By the end, competitors will be covered in powdered dye:

If you're allergic to the metric system, corn starch, or unbridled joy, you'd probably be more comfortable in hospice care than at the starting blocks of this color-filled 5k.

It's July 15 at the South Shore Plaza. Yeah, in Braintree, which one presumes just doesn't have the same pull as "Boston."

Cambridge journalist to local businesses: No more Mr. Nice Guy

Mark Levy at Cambridge Day puts Cambridge businesses on record: If you put a giant "Going Out of Business" sale in your window, he's going to write about it, even if you ask him not to. He's tired of getting scooped on stories he knew about first.

Man gets 2 1/2 years for fatally shooting former friend who was beating him in the head with a padlock

Nhu Nguyen, 20, pleaded guilty today to killing Derek Matulina at the Savin Hill Red Line stop on May 11, 2011.

Under an agreement between his attorney and the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, Nguyen was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in a county jail on manslaughter and gun charges, to be followed by two years of probation.

The DA's office says the two were once best buds who had a falling out over the proceeds of marijuana sales.

The two meet up by chance at Savin Hill, where Nguyen demanded what he felt he was owed, the DA's office reports. Matulina challenged him to a fight, at which point Nguyen pulled out a .22 caliber handgun. Acquaintances separated the two, but then Matulina followed him onto the subway platform, striking him repeatedly with a padlock wrapped in a bandana, prosecutors say.

Matulina then grabbed Nguyen, who managed to escape, pull out his gun and shoot Matulina in the chest, the DA's office says.
