ATTICA - Seneca East's strong pitching has carried it to a 7-0 record.
Saturday, the Tigers showed they have a lot of bats in their dugout as well. Seneca East took a pair of five-inning affairs from Wynford, 10-0 and 14-4.
In the opener, Mason McWilliams blasted two home runs, a solo shot and a grand slam, to help his own cause, though he didn't need much of it. McWilliams tossed a one-hit shutout, striking out 12.

Slade Downing and Gray both singled twice and scored, and Caleb Garman singled twice.
Bucks blast St. Peter's
MANSFIELD - Buckeye Central's 18-run, 10-hit attack in the first game was impressive, but it paled in comparison to the nightcap.
After beating Mansfield St. Peter's 18-7 in the opener, the Bucks unloaded in the second game en route to a 35-2 victory.
Jordan Herrnstein and Cole Stacklin each drove in five runs for the Bucks in the lopsided second game. Herrnstein went 3 for 4 with five runs, and Stacklin scored three times, singled twice and doubled.

St. Peter's took a 5-4 lead in the first inning of the first game and scored one in the sixth to knot the game at 6, but it was all Bucks from there.

Ryan Depinet had a two-hit game for Hopewell-Loudon with an RBI. Garret Sendelbach chased in the other Chieftain run.
Clear Fork eats up TC
Clear Fork must not take kindly to being challenged.
The Colts were cruising through the afternoon enjoying a 6-0 lead before Columbian started to fight back in the fifth. The Tornadoes plated two to close the gap, but Clear Fork responded with eight in the sixth.
TC got two back in the bottom of the inning, but it wasn't enough to extend the game as the Colts left town with a 14-4 win.
Mason Swank had three hits for Clear Fort and Lee Snyder drove in two runs.
For Columbian, Russ Yeast singled and doubled with an RBI. Garrett Bean chased in two and scored a run. Jeffrey Crawford, Kyler Cook and John Van Camp also scored for Columbian.
Elgin sweeps Warriors
MARION - Elgin was an unkind host to Mohawk Saturday afternoon, as they Comets sent the Warriors back home with a pair of losses.
In Game 1, a 13-2 Elgin victory, only five of the Comets' runs were earned. Mohawk produced just as many hits as Elgin, but could muster only a pair of runs as Grant Gucker singled home Austin Harper and Austin Shock drove in Dominic Smith.
In Game 2, however, Mohawk struggled to get any offense going, dropping a 6-0 decision. Shock, Gucker and Derrick Sowers had the only hits in the game for the Warriors.

The 5 Most Overused Jokes On the Internet
Interwebz/Series of Tubes
Back in 2006, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens used the term "series of tubes" while explaining the Internet. The poor description was cited as an example of the Senator's unfamiliarity with the Net. Similarly, the term "Interwebz" is a deliberately awkward mixture of Internet and the Web put in the plural form which is also awkard. The point being that more than five years ago these were some phrases conveying ignorance of the Net.
"I didn't think people would keep making fun of me online way past the point of it being funny. Then again, I guess I don't know a lot about the Internet."
Yeah, more than five years ago. But despite the time passage and despite that even my mother (who still doesn't use ATMS) has never mispronounced the Internet or failed to understand what it is, this "joke" somehow persists. Bloggers use it incessantly. First it was annoying because much like TMI, the facetious use of the term implies that the writer is hip enough to know how to pronounce the Internet and understand what it does. Congratulations. My father is pushing 80 and recently installed all new drivers to run 64 bit programs. You're awesome.
But I don't even think that's the point of the joke anymore. There's just some sort of widespread online delusion that using these terms with nothing more is somehow smile-worthy. It's the greatest example of wrongheaded e-thinking since a billion people gave thumbs up to a Fred video on YouTube.
If this country has the good sense to reject other things it found funny in 2006 (like Dane Cook) then can't we agree it's time for this cliche to go too?
"Everyone will still be doing this is 2011. Trust me."
______y Mc________
Maybe a little confusing with those blanks, but this is the device where you insult/describe someone, usually with an adjective ending in "y" and a noun with a "Mc" pre-fix. Some examples might be:
Skanky McNoTalent
Blandy McReaganFace
Deady MacTooSoonJoke
Unlike the other entries on this list, I still kind of enjoy this. It's a fun construction and one that that surprised me when I first saw people using it because I thought I invented it in college by calling my friends "Douchey McFuckface." But it's just too easy, and we've all used it just too damn much. Much like your mom.
See? Even though the gratuitous use of a mother joke there was kind of funny, I wish I hadn't done it. The way I felt after I did your mom. Because now we just all feel a little dirty and used now. Much like your mom. Y'know, your mom: Clappy McGenitalWarts.
See? Doesn't matter if it still gets a laugh, it's tired and worn out from all the abuse. Just like your mom's . . . well you get the point.

Chinese Skip New-Year Trips to Japan
The number of Chinese tourists traveling to Japan over the Lunar New Year holiday are set to plummet more than 50% from a year earlier amid heightened territorial tension between the two countries.
A tiff over islands both nations claim further escalated this week with the Japanese accusing the Chinese military of twice locking weapons-guiding radar on its naval forces, an assertion that China denied on Friday.
This year, Thailand and South Korea have knocked Japan off the list as China's top international holiday market for the weeklong Lunar New Year break, according to Nasdaq-listed Ctrip.com, one of China's biggest online travel websites.
Tokyo-based Sogo World Travel Ltd., an inbound travel agent for which Chinese visitors account for around a third of business, is feeling the brunt of the travel downturn.
Company President Wang Yatnien said Friday the number of Chinese tourists Sogo World is arranging trips for this Lunar New Year has dropped 50% from a year earlier to around 2,000-3,000.
Mr. Wang said some individual Chinese travelers have returned to Japan as the yen has weakened, but Chinese tour groups remain notably absent, as it appeared travel agencies in China still refrain from arranging Japan trips.
"I wish people would just ignore political issues and visit here," said Mr. Wang, a Singapore citizen.
Meanwhile, Chinese airlines have shifted from the Japanese market as a result of lackluster demand, and that's contributing to a drop in international airfares out of China during the new-year period compared with last year.
The Lunar New Year, which officially starts over the weekend, is the busiest travel season of the year for Chinese and a time to see family or spend time overseas. International travel has seen particularly strong growth in recent years on the back of a stronger Chinese currency.
Despite the plunge in travel to Japan, international travel demand from China remains strong, with the total number of travelers booking international trips at Ctrip.com growing 40% to 50% during the new-year break from a year earlier.
"Instead of paying return visits to some domestic travel spots, more and more travelers are upgrading to short-haul or even long-haul outbound destinations," said Guo Dongjie, a senior vice president at Ctrip.com.
But as China's main airlines have boosted capacity with new aircraft and routes, airfares are under pressure. At the end of December, the nation's three main state airlines, Air China Ltd., China Southern Airlines Co., and China Eastern Airlines Corp. had passenger capacity increases of between 7% and 11% from a year earlier.
Average ticket prices for international travel are down 36% in this peak holiday period compared with a year earlier, according to data from online tourist agency Mangocity.com Ltd., a unit of state-run China Travel International Investment Hong Kong Ltd. 0308 0.00 % , dragged by excess capacity and fewer travellers to Japan.
The agency notes that one-way flights from the southwestern city of Kunming to Southeast Asia are going for as low as 99 yuan (about $16), while flights between Shanghai and New York could be as cheap as 2,800 yuan (around $450).
Prices for domestic air travel are also down for the Lunar New Year period, falling 6.1% from a year earlier, as "the launch of several high-speed rail routes in 2012 have diverted some of the domestic traffic from airlines," says Mangocity.com.
The nation's three largest state carriers declined to comment on their forward booking figures.
"We do feel some softening in domestic air travel demand this year. Last year, most of our popular routes were all fully booked during the Spring Festival, but now there are still empty seats on some routes," said Zhu Tao, chairman at West Air Co., a unit of China's aviation conglomerate HNA Group and sister company to Hainan Airlines Co. 600221 -0.62 %

NEW CUMBERLAND - A rally organized by members of the protest network Anonymous drew approximately 60 people to the steps of the Hancock County Courthouse in New Cumberland on Saturday afternoon.
The action, titled "Operation Innocence," was called to protest the release from jail of Tyler M. Graham, 19, of Weirton, who had been charged Feb. 19 with the alleged rape of a two-year-old "Jane Doe" while staying at the Weirton home of the child's mother in December of last year.
A $50,000 property bond secured Graham's release following an appearance before Hancock County Magistrate Michael Powell.

While the focus of the rally was the young victim of this assault, which has resulted in her contracting a sexually-transmitted disease, others spoke out regarding their own experiences with what they described as a similar lack of justice.
One of them was a Hancock County resident who, like many in the crowd, wore the Guy Fawkes mask which has become a hallmark of Anonymous events. He talked about the abuse suffered by his four-year-old daughter, Khylii, in 2011. She sustained injuries so severe that four surgeries at UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh were required to repair the hole torn in her stomach. Despite this, he says the accused, the boyfriend of the child's mother, was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation.
"It's just a major injustice against our children that is happening in Hancock County, Jefferson County, Steubenville," another attendee said. "It's in our valley. It's everywhere."
Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher was present for the protest and had positive comments towards the organizers of the event. "I see this as a positive move because they're trying to educate the public," he said. Fletcher said he understood the reasons why many victims of sexual abuse may refuse to come forward, including shame, fear or misplaced guilt.
While Fletcher did not speak at the event, he drew huge applause from the crowd when he stated there is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in West Virginia.

Friends who just met up with her at Stars On Ice backstage told me that she joked that she's too old for Sochi, unfortunately.
I agree with zschultz's post about if she wants to return hopefully she isn't held up and nobody should hold it against her for winning and not stepping aside. People always got mad that the Williams sisters kept being in all the Grand Slam finals in tennis... well, don't complain, get better.
I'm curious to see how Chartrand develops over the summer because her and Daleman are probably going to battle it out for the 2nd spot. On paper, both have excellent ambitious technical ability and it's truly exciting to put forth Canadian skaters who are capable of 3-3's and 3Z's.

I brake for squirrels.
It's not that I like the fuzzy rodents, I just can't stand the thought of one running under the car.
So when a squirrel ran in front of my car last week, I didn't hesitate to come to a quick stop. But then I did a double-take.
The squirrel was white, and I noticed just the slightest patch of gray on its back as it scampered up the neighbor's tree.
My husband, Rick, commented on it almost as soon as I did. Yes, that really was a white squirrel in Riverland Terrace on James Island.
It was beautiful, if slightly bigger than the normal gray squirrel, with a lovely arching tail. Or maybe it just seemed bigger because it didn't blend in with the road or the tree.
Neither one of us has ever seen a white squirrel, so I had to ask some questions. Like first — was it really a squirrel? And second, what was it doing in our neighborhood.
Enter the White Squirrel Research Institute in Brevard, N.C. (I love the internet for just this reason.) There's a professor there who happens to be a white squirrel expert, Robert Glesener. Brevard has a white squirrel population that is protected by the town, and he's studied the population for years. They count the number of white squirrels and have white squirrel spotters and, yes, even a White Squirrel Festival on Memorial Day weekend.
Glesener knows a lot about white squirrels and provides this information: In North America, so-called white squirrels are simply coat color variants of some squirrel species, in this case, the Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis).
Most white squirrels are not albinos, which would mean they have pink or blue eyes.
Glesener has a map of white squirrel locations, and Charleston is on it, so I checked our archives for previous stories, looking for locations. I found that there is a population of white squirrels on Yonge's Island.
In 2003, Virginia Geraty, the late Gullah scholar, told reporter Bo Petersen that her late husband, Charles, was responsible for the original breeding pairs in that area.
She said two pairs rode to the island in an airline shipping crate in her car a few decades ago on the way from who-knows-where to a menagerie kept by her husband on the bluff above the Stono River. He bred the squirrels and even created swings for them near their house.
Readers at the time also called to report white squirrels as far as Ladson and Moncks Corner. So I put a message out on Facebook to see if others have spotted squirrels in our area recently.
Karl McMillian confirmed that there are white squirrels in Stono Ferry near Hollywood. Kim Cooper says they have been spotted in a friend's yard near Cypress Gardens. Elisa Matthews said that, like me, she spotted one in Goose Creek, but doesn't know about any colonies there.
Glesener reports on the White Squirrel Institute's website that "Isolated sightings of white squirrels (usually with dark eyes but no coat markings, a condition known as leucism) occur regularly through out the entire range of the Eastern Gray squirrel. This common mutation seems to be weeded out before it can be firmly established into a so-called colony."
Yonge's Island and Moncks Corner are listed on the site as areas where isolated white squirrels have been spotted.
And Glesner also says that these squirrels are more likely to be seen near humans, where natural predators are reduced. It turns out that if people can spot these easily, so can a squirrel's enemies.
While I haven't seen the squirrel again, I've looked for it. I just hope our neighbor doesn't take offense that I slow down almost to a stop every time I pass his house, looking for the white curly tail.
Have you spotted a white squirrel? Let me know because I'd love to talk to you about it.

text: The origin of this religious school custom goes back to the nineteenth century, when the church, built in the seventeenth century, was visited regularly every spring. After a more or less speedy climb, the participants congregate for the church service. Then the traditional polenta is served to all, along with wine or milky coffee to help digest it. The afternoon is spent in drama presentations and sports competitions. After sundown, the crowd hikes back down to the village. The procession into the village and a short speech made by one of the adults conclude the festivities.

COLUMBIANA - Charges are pending for a man who led city police on a high speed chase through town and then abandoned the vehicle he was driving in a field outside of the city on Tuesday.
According to the police report, officer Matthew Jones attempted to stop an older black Chevy truck in the area of Fairfield Avenue around 5 p.m. after seeing that it was bearing expired license plates belonging on a red Chevy four-door car, and did not have the required county identification sticker.
The truck came to a stop at Fairfield Avenue just south of Duquesne Street and as Jones approached the vehicle on foot the driver pulled the vehicle forward and drove away. Jones ran back to his cruiser and pursued the truck southbound on Fairfield Avenue reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, according to the report.
The chase continued to Metz Road and at Columbiana Waterford Road the truck didn't stop for the posted stop sign and turned right onto Columbiana Waterford Road and accelerated.
The vehicle, reaching speeds up to 75 miles per hour, also ran through the red light at state Route 7 and continued southbound on that road until turning right onto Crestview Road.
The truck then went off road and continued through several fields. Officers searching the area on foot found it struck in wet turf not far from Short Road in Fairfield Township. The driver and his two passengers were nowhere in sight, however.
The county sheriff's office was notified and assisted with the investigation and AAA towed the vehicle from the field. The owner of the 1989 Chevy truck was found to be Peggy S. Dickson, Morris Road, Lisbon.
Police have a suspect in mind although no one has been taken in custody at this point, Police Chief Tim Gladis said.

Four stars out of four
"Circle Mirror Transformation," the clever comedy by Annie Baker that opened Friday night on the stage of 710 Main Theatre, turns the simple act of counting from one to 10 into cause for applause.
So smartly constructed is this piece of laugh-driven theater - a fast-forward glimpse into a six-week acting class in a small Vermont town - that moments with absolutely no right to be funny on their own manage to produce irrepressible outbursts of laughter.
And this production, because it has been so extraordinarily well executed by Road Less Traveled Productions co-founder Scott Behrend and his gifted cast of five, amplifies those laughs to deafening volumes.
Resounding laughter - gales of it - was the defining sound of Friday night's opening, which marked the first local production on stage of 710 Main, formerly Studio Arena Theatre, in four years. Like the trickle of one-off performances that reanimated the 710 Main stage last year, the occasion was treated as the beginning of a new era of prosperity for the troubled 625-seat space.
Before the actors took the stage, Ross Eckert of the 710 Main board of directors gave a short address, reminding theatergoers that the last show under the Studio Arena marquee was also a Road Less Traveled production, also directed by Behrend.
"Some call it deja vu," he said. "I say it's the beginning of something big. 710 Main is back to anchor Buffalo's theater district."
If this refreshingly well-oiled and sensitive presentation of "Circle Mirror Transformation" is any indication, that new era has begun in earnest.
Baker's play is a neat (and sometimes too-neat) exercise in comic writing. She mines the insecurities of her characters, from a hapless divorcé in his mid-40s (Dave Hayes) to a hippy-dippy acting teacher (Lisa Vitrano), for all they're worth. But she does so using as few words as possible. Baker prefers instead to luxuriate in the awkward pauses and stilting, non-liner dialogue of everyday life rather than the idealized mode in which many playwrights work.
Across the six weeks, excerpted in neat little vignettes, the identities of each character emerge and begin to intersect with one another. The dopey but lovable Schultz (Hayes) gets romantically tied up with Theresa (Morgan Chard), who turns out to be too stuck on her ex to continue the relationship. Meanwhile, teacher Marty (Vitrano) is having her own problems with her flawed but charming husband and classmate James (Robert Rutland), while the impetuous young Lauren (Kelsey Mogensen) struggles to see the point in all the strange exercises she and her classmates must perform.
Each cast member brings just the right ingredients to the table. Hayes' pitch perfect awkwardness matches up beautifully with Chard's constructed confidence, while Vitrano's grandiose gestures provide a good counterbalance to Rutland's quiet exasperation. Mogensen gets teenage impatience and naiveté; just right.
At times, the play can feel in a sense too formulaic, too stuck on one or another built-in archetype or convention such as the aw-shucks dorkitude of Hayes' character or the flightiness of Vitrano's. For the most part, though, Baker uses those formulas as a launching pad, bringing new and slightly off-kilter dimensions to the familiar tropes of situation comedy.
This glimmering production itself, rehearsed as such a play must be to within an inch of its life, all but obliterates those concerns. It's clear that Behrend and his cast have worked hard to get the timing right on each and every exchange, exhortation and facial expression. I could not detect a single joke that fell flat because of missed timing, an epic feat for any production on Broadway, let alone on Main Street.
The jokes, the cast, the venue, the director, Katie Menke's sound design, John Rickus' lights and Jeremy Delgado's utilitarian set -- all of it landed directly in the center of the strike zone. The much-trumpeted "new era" for the 710 Main Theatre is already looking good.

The 8 Manliest Images on the Internet
Wait… that came out wrong! Don't start the list ye-
#8. Hawk Pimp
Well, look at that: It's the pimped out Chinese Raptor Cavalry. Jesus, I don't even know where to start. Do I focus on his pelt of foxes? The fur-tipped clitoris on his head? Or the terrifying implications made by the World War I-era Kaiser helmet that his hawk is wearing?
No, instead I want to draw attention to something most of you probably missed: There appears to be a goat's skull and spine where his penis should be. Appreciate that for a moment, please. He's wearing the desiccated remains of a goat for a codpiece, and look at his face. He thinks that's funny.
He's probably the tribe's comedian. I'm sure he has even more jokes to tell you; just lean a little closer, so the Raptor-Kaiser can whisper them in your ear.
#7. Para-Hawker
What on God's swollen left testicle is the possible explanation for a man para-gliding with hawks glued to his elbows? Do the birds do his bidding, or do they despise him passionately? Are we witnessing the world's first eagle-navigated flight, or the first terrifying seconds of a bird-murder? I do not know. I put forth that it is impossible to know. I suggest to you that this image is in fact a Koan: A Zen parable whose very inability to be explained will eventually bring enlightenment.
What, you disagree?
Well listen, hotshot, if you think you have a logical-sounding explanation for this picture, I suggest you either:
A) Look up the word "logic" in a dictionary, because you clearly don't know what it means. Maybe you're getting "logic" confused with "hot dogs" or "impotency." It happens to me sometimes.
B) Have mercy on us groundfolk, Hawk-Man! Our pitiful senses are limited by the earth we must tread!
#6. Bear Robbery
Listen: Don't laugh guys. It's tough living in Russia. I mean, you finally get finished forging your house-analogue out of the ruined corpses of old buses discarded by the affluent pig-dog Western nations, and what's the first thing that happens?
Bear drive-by.
What was he supposed to do? Just bow down and let the grizzly gangs run the place? No, goddamnit. This is a man! He put down his bowl of shoe-leather soup, strapped on his Ursine Assaultin' Trackpants (every Russian has a pair) and he went to beat that fucker to death with a pepper-mill. What doesn't make sense about this to you?
Is it the pepper-mill? It's the pepper mill, isn't it?
Well, what do you use to spice up shoe-leather soup, smart guy?
#5. Shark Santa
Some questions might be running through your head right now, such as: "Is that guy underwater on a BMX bike? Is that a fucking shark? Is he trying to ollie? Is…is he ollying over the shark?" And finally: "HOLY SHIT IS THAT SANTA CLAUS?!"
Yes. The answer to all of those questions is yes. And the answer to your last, unspoken question, "why the crapping hell?" is easy: Because "good" is a relative term subject to the speaker's moral compass. So even bloodthirsty sharks have "good" little boys and girls, and they have to get presents too. Being Santa is like being a mailman: Neither snow, nor sleet, nor underwater shark BMX rallies shall keep you from your appointed rounds.
#4. Ogre Parking Enforcement
There's no fancy explanation for this one: You just parked in the wrong motherfucking spot. That's not me being cute with descriptions, it clearly says "This is the Wrong Motherfucking Spot" on that sign back there. And there are always consequences for ignoring the rules... it's just that sometimes those consequences are a little more Gravity Hammer-centric than others.
If he's not the John Shaft/Buck Rogers of meter maids, well then the only other explanation I can think of for a large black man with a hammer-from-the-future bludgeoning a vehicle to death is because this particular car appears to be a Porsche Boxster. And Boxsters are the vehicle equivalent of a puka shell necklace: If you're ever unfortunate enough to see one up close, chances are you've already been roofied and the owner is off somewhere doing his pre-date-rape stretches. Maybe Halo Shaft up there is just trying to make the world a better place, one double-popped-collar-wearing douchebag at a time.
#3. Mammoth Sword
Buster Sword guy is like The Little Engine That Could if somebody hung those novelty steel balls from the undercarriage. Buster Sword guy built himself a sword that everybody with any knowledge of basic physics knows you cannot ever practically wield, and then he fucking wielded it.
That's not to say that he wielded it well--if there is a victor in that video, it is certainly not Buster Sword guy. However, it is also not the palette. No, the only victor here is the force of gravity itself who, but for the lack of lips, would be screaming, "I told you so!" by the end of the tape. Still, Buster Sword guy should not be mocked. He is a fantastic man-problem. He built that fucking sword himself, you know. He lifted it countless times. He knew the exact weight of the metals it was formed from. He knew full well that he could not swing the finished blade and yet even still, upon completion, he turned to his friend and said, "Turn the cameras on. I am going to murder a family of wood now, and it must be filmed."
#2. Samurai Cyclist
His motorcycle is matte black, its "holders" are of the sword variety rather than the conventional "cup" and he obeys the helmet laws... to a truly terrifying extent! He is the Samurai Cyclist, and he is a man doing what man does best: looking badass without really knowing why. Honestly though, this is what all men would look like without the level-headed censure of a woman's influence. There is nothing particularly strange about this picture; this is just man at his most organic.
The great tragedy here is that, upon donning his custom built spiked shoulder pads, full samurai helmet and facemask; sheathing his swords in their spot-welded custom holders; and mounting his night-black, motored steed, this stupid world did not have the decency to end in a ball of fire, so the Samurai Cyclist found himself without a suitably post-apocalyptic landscape to race through. But did this stop him leaving the house? No! For he is man! He saw the unruined world outside and thought, "Fuck it. I'll just take this thing to Nordstrom's instead."
And so he did. He probably bought a sweater there, chatted up a puckish salesgirl and maybe tried a sampler of this new cologne he had his eye on. But all the while, inside his head, you know his thoughts were naught but steel and fire. And maybe just a touch of argyle.
#1. The Cycle Sheik
The temptation here is to chalk this picture up as just another one of those infamous "arab car stunts." But look closely at this man; he is not a reckless teenager trying to keep himself entertained in the most lethal way available to him (because his country unfortunately outlawed the more standard lethal teenage entertainment: Carlo Rossi). This is an older man--almost respectable looking, actually--with the kind of beard one can only grow while lost in the desert for decades after having your heart broken by a treacherous lover. This is a man who should know better, and probably does. No, I don't believe this is staged. There is something in that steadfast, noble posture that tells me this simply cannot be the case. I choose to believe this is just how Cycle-sheik gets from point A to Point B like any other commuter… except that "Point A," in this case, is probably a portal of fire that only opens once every 50 years to let him roam the streets for a day, and "Point B" is a motherfucker that's about to get stabbed at 75 miles an hour.
That's right: stabbed. Oh, I'm sorry... did you miss the sword?
Well, that's probably the best example of this point that I can possibly offer: When you stare in awe at a photo for several minutes and the very last thing you notice--almost as a side-note, really--is that the subject is armed with a three-foot, steel blade, what else can you be dealing with but a Man, in all of his bafflingly awesome, stunningly retarded glory?
You can pre-order Robert's book, Everything is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead on Amazon, or find him on Twitter, Facebook and his own site, I Fight Robots, where you can read more uncomfortably graphic odes to men! Spoiler alert! There's humpin'!

Storms that beat down much of the Houston region Friday and cost more than 103,000 residents their electricity are expected to bring an exceptionally pleasant mid-August weekend to the region.
Gusts of more than 70 mph took down power lines, and some neighborhoods saw hail and heavy rainfall. Bush Intercontinental Airport, for example, received about 1.8 inches of rain in a six-hour period Friday evening.
Lightning struck a woman's car near Bush Intercontinental Airport during the height of the storm. Although the strike damaged the vehicle, it wasn't clear whether the driver was injured, a Harris County sheriff's dispatcher said.
In addition KTRK and KHOU both reported Friday night that lightning is blamed for an oil well fire in Chambers County.
The Coast Guard tells KTRK that a there was a fire at an unmanned SandRidge Energy oil platform in Trinity Bay near Beach City, but there were no injuries.
For all the damage it did Friday, the storm front is expected to drop morning temperatures to the low 70s and keep daily highs to the mid-90s.
The question is whether next week's weather will be disrupted by a tropical system.
On Friday, the tropical disturbance moved off the Yucatan Peninsula and into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Although the system has yet to develop strong bands of rotating thunderstorms, atmospheric conditions are favorable for some organization this weekend as the disturbance moves slowly northwest across the Gulf.
The National Hurricane Center gives the system a 60 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane during the next five days.
Most forecast models indicate the system will track toward Mexico or South Texas, but as there is no well-defined center of circulation, and steering currents are currently weak, confidence in the storm's path is low.
If the storm does follow a more northerly track toward Texas, the Houston region might see at least some rain on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Flooding at The Woodlands Mall was recorded this afternoon as the storm blew through the area.

KAHULUI Maui bid aloha to U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye on Saturday.
Master of ceremonies Tony Takitani said that the gathering of family, friends and admirers at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Castle Theater was a celebration of life for Inouye.
And, "what an incredible life it was," he said.
Inouye was a leading figure in the political revolution that swept Democrats into control in Hawaii in 1954. He entered Congress at the dawn of statehood and was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962. He was a World War II hero, winner of the Medal of Honor, statesman and friend. Inouye died Dec. 17. He was 88.
"I think he loved our island more than all the rest," Takitani said. "At least he made us feel that way."
Mayor Alan Arakawa thanked Inouye's widow, Irene Hirano Inouye, and the rest of the late senator's family for allowing Neighbor Island residents the opportunity to celebrate his life.
The Maui remembrance was the last for the Neighbor Islands. Memorial services were held Thursday on the Big Island and Friday on Kauai. He was eulogized in services Dec. 23 at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in a service that included President Barack Obama.
The Maui event was more low key.
Inouye never forgot Maui County or the Neighbor Islands, Arakawa said, adding that his first question always was: "What can we do to help you in Maui County?"
From the supercomputer in Kihei to telescope facilities atop Haleakala, Inouye was always looking for projects for Maui, Arakawa said.
"There are no words to describe how grateful we are," he said.
Arakawa emphasized how the senator, despite being "larger than life," was down to earth and speaking to him would be like talking to an uncle or a neighbor.
"Somehow we all felt we knew Senator Inouye personally," he said. "He was one of us. He was our senior senator."
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui, who ascended to the state's second-highest office last week as a result of a political domino effect set off by Inouye's death, fought back emotion as he spoke of the late senator.
"For me, it's hard to imagine he's no longer with us," he said. "Maui will never forget Senator Inouye because he never forgot about us."

Ahmad Razlan said cooperation between SIC and AirAsia began a few months ago when Asia's low-budget airlines boss Tony Fernandes told him about his ambitious dream to set up an all-Malaysian F1 team.
Since the government is a partner in this project, I have a few questions to ask PM Najib Razak.
- How much of the taxpayers' money is involved?
- How much is the cost to run the team annually?
- What is the benefit or ROI for the people?
- How many low cost houses have the government build in a year? An updated statistics would be greatly appreciated.
- How can this involvement help to turn Proton around?
- How many Penans are going to be benefited from the project?
- How many hectares of land have been allocated to build houses for the poor? How many more Kampung Buah Palas incidents in the waiting?
This government got nothing better to do ah? What about improving the efficiency of the civil service? What about spending the money to help improve public amenities and public transport?
I hope the decision to invest in the Malaysian F1 Team is not another contribution of the newly and expensively assembled PR team.

Rachel Louise Springston
Feb. 10, 1916-Nov. 17, 2012
Age: 96
Residence: Greeley
Rachel Springston, 96, of Greeley, passed away Nov. 17, 2012, at Hospice of Northern Colorado. She was born Feb. 10, 1916, in Merino, Colo., to John and Louise (Bernhardt) Ostermiller. She married Joseph Springston on Nov. 7, 1942, in Merino, Colo. He passed in 1995.
Rachel graduated from Merino High School and lived in Merino until she left for college. She graduated from Colorado State University, where she majored in home economics.
She taught high school home economics in Stratton, Arickaree, and Castle Rock, Colo., until she married and moved to Platteville and then to Greeley where she taught at Meeker Jr. High. She later worked as a clerk in the Office of the Registrar at UNC.
In 1991, Rachel and Joseph received the AARP Community Award for their many contributions in the Greeley community. Along with her involvement with AARP, Rachel was a member of the First Congregational Church, and P.E.O. She was an avid gardener and a very good cook.

Landscape architect and planner Chris Hart, who made an unsuccessful bid for mayor in 2010 and formerly headed two Maui County departments, died early Monday. He was 71.
Hart, a Wailuku resident, had gone to Oahu to undergo preventative surgery to his aorta at Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center and Clinic, but he subsequently suffered several strokes that led to his death, according to Jordan Hart, the youngest of his four sons.
Jordan Hart said his father's passing was "definitely not expected" by family members.

Funeral arrangements were pending Monday.
"He was a very kind and generous and thoughtful person," Jordan Hart said.
Hart is survived by his wife, Maria. His other three sons are Matthew, Jon and Andrew. He also leaves four grandchildren.
Maria Hart said she married her husband about a year and a half ago.
"I always call him 'my heart,'" she said. "He's very sweet. He's a very caring man."
Hart's younger sister, Connie Hart of Florida, said that the family was not prepared for his death.
"Chris was a truly great man," she said. "He was a friend to everyone. He was an inspiration, but more importantly he was a father that loved his children.
"He was very, very committed to Maui now and Maui in the future," she said. "He loved this island. He loved being here and loved being part of the community. He fought hard for many, many years to preserve the beauty of the island. He was a wonderful brother. He was an inspiration. He will be missed terribly."
Mayor Alan Arakawa said that he worked with Hart in planning communities back to the late 1980s.
"Chris has always been very, very thoughtful. He was looking out for the betterment of the community," Arakawa said, adding that Hart left his fingerprints on community planning on Maui for decades.
"He was a really nice guy. We're really going to miss him," he said.
Maui County Council Member Gladys Baisa, incoming council chairwoman and current chairwoman of the council's General Plan Committee, said that she had known Hart for "many, many years."
She said her big regret was that Hart had not recovered from surgery on Oahu when the council's General Plan Committee recommended passage recently of the Maui Island Plan, which Hart had worked on "since the very beginning."
"He never had the satisfaction to know it passed," she said. "He was a real gentleman during the whole process."
Even when council members would tweak the plan, Hart wouldn't complain, Baisa said. "He was really a sport during the whole time."
Hart was born May 3, 1941, in upstate New York. He received a bachelor's of landscape architecture degree from Syracuse University in 1964. He worked as a landscape architect and in land use planning in White Plains and Bear Mountain, N.Y., before he was drafted into the Army, serving both stateside and in combat in Vietnam.
He joined the Maui County Department of Planning in 1970, where he served until 1984, rising from a staff planner to deputy planning director in 1980. In March 1980, he was involved with the establishment of the Maui County Urban Design Review Board and with the administration of urban design standards and the Maui Historic Commission.
From 1984 to 1986, Hart was director of the county Department of Human Concerns, where he helped develop affordable housing and oversaw the expansion of the Kaunoa Senior Center.
Then, from 1986 to 1991, he was director of the Department of Planning, overseeing the update of the 1990 General Plan, formulation of the Wailuku redevelopment plan update, country-town design guidelines for the Paia-Haiku region and the establishment of the Maui County Cultural Resources Commission.
After being self-employed for two years as a landscape architect, Hart founded Chris Hart & Partners Inc. in Wailuku. He was president of the company.
In 2010, Hart was among 11 candidates to run for the Mayor's Office, but he did not advance beyond the primary election.
For a while, Hart had a business venture, Dad's Donut Shop, in Wailuku. His community involvement included service with the Maui Academy of Performing Arts, the Maui Historical Society, the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, the Teen Challenge Substance Abuse Treatment Program, the Lahaina Restoration Foundation, youth soccer programs and the Rotary Club of Maui.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Improving the productivity of production cells, a major goal of biomanufacturers, involves the sequential application of cell-line engineering and optimization of media, feed, and process. Experts agree that this sometimes iterative process, like the development of higher human attributes, depends on both nature and nurture.
Crucell's PER.C6® cell line illustrates the necessary balance between these two factors. The volumetric productivity of PER.C6 has become legendary, with the current titer record of 27 g/L at harvest and more than 40 g/L if you subtract the cell volume and count only the supernatant.
The success of PER.C6 is based on the cell itself, a human retina-derived cell that provides human-like glycosylation and all attendant benefits. "Processors don't have to worry about undesirable post-translational modifications with PER.C6," observes Kathryn Golden, a scientist in upstream processing at Percivia, a joint venture between Crucell and DSM that specializes in bioprocess applications of PER.C6.
But the role of post-cell-engineering optimization cannot be overstated either. Percivia's mandate is to improve its parent company's prolific cell line through media, feed, and process strategies. One such improvement is implementation of Refine Technology's alternating tangential flow (ATF) technique, which perfuses fresh media through the culture while removing byproducts. ATF reportedly permits PER.C6 cells to grow to extremely high concentrations, up to 150 million cells/mL, in less than two weeks. Data shows that ATF generates viable biomass at ten times higher concentration than conventional cell culture.
With its licensing of zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology from Sangamo, SAFC Biosciences gained the capability to knock genes in or out with high specificity. According to Bruce Lehr, director of development, ZFN generates clones within six months. SAFC works directly on customers' cells or provides them with the ZFN kits to do the work themselves. SAFC expects to offer a full-spectrum service that combines cell-line engineering services with optimization based on media, feed, and processes within three years.
ZFNs are artificial restriction enzymes in which a zinc-dependent DNA-binding protein and a DNA-cleaving enzyme are fused, thus combining highly selective recognition with DNA splicing. ZFNs have received a lot of attention from medical researchers, who use the enzymes to knock out genes.
ZFNs work by removing a gene sequence, leaving behind a double-stranded break in the DNA backbone. In the absence of a suitable template the strands will often close perfectly, resulting in a clean deletion. When a homologous template strand is available it will insert into the break.
ZFN technology has been used to create knockout rats. In April 2010, a group from Singapore used the methodology to generate a zebrafish model for Parkinson disease. And recently, the Michael J. Fox Foundation awarded a one-year, $232,000 grant to Sigma Advanced Genetic Engineering (SAGE) Labs to develop a more convenient Parkinson model in rats. Researchers at SAGE are expected to use the company's CompoZr ZFN technology to create the model.
Knockout/knockdown strategies can have a tremendous impact on cell-line optimization for biomanufacturing, an area in which SAFC has been active. Lehr notes the potential for inactivating genes that code for apoptosis, host-cell proteins, or critical post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, methylation, or phosphorylation. One SAFC customer asked the company to delete a marker on the production cell that was homologous to the target receptor in humans.
SAFC has thus far focused on CHO cells, the workhorses of monoclonal antibody manufacturing. As it works on these production cells, the company is simultaneously matching media and feeds, to "optimize productivity from a very early stage," according to Lehr. The goal is to introduce platform production technologies that will assist small biotech companies and contract manufacturers to develop cells and move them into production rapidly.
"Large companies are already using platform technologies but the next tier down and many CMOs lack the time or expertise to develop them," Lehr reports. "Having platform manufacturing methods will help these companies attract customers." Another boost to platform methods, he says, will be the eventual approval of biosimilars.

CLEVELAND - The Steelers defense has put together a remarkable run to end the regular season, but safety Ryan Clark hasn't been overly impressed.
"No disrespect, but we haven't faced many world beaters,'' Clark said after the Steelers held off the 4-12 Cleveland Browns, 13-9, on Sunday at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Clark is correct in that the Steelers have faced marginal offenses in the Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams and the Browns twice in the last six weeks, but it's hard to overlook what the defense has done over that span - holding five of six opponents to nine points or less.
The one team to score more than 10 points on them was San Francisco, and it benefited from Steelers turnovers to score most of its points.
It hasn't exactly been a performance like the 1976 Steel Curtain, which recorded five shutouts and held nine of its final 11 opponents to six points or less. But, in this era of the NFL, where the rules favor the offenses more - eight teams scored 34 points or more on Sunday - one can't be too critical of the 2011 Steelers defense.
Statistically, the Steelers finished with the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL this season, both in the amount of yards and points allowed.
"It huge when you're holding teams to field goals,'' Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said. "We finished as the No. 1 defense, and that was a goal for us.''
The defense came up big again in Cleveland with Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu making the key play in the game. With the score tied at 6-6 in the third quarter, Polamalu stepped in front of Browns tight end Evan Moore and intercepted a Seneca Wallace pass near midfield.
The Steelers responded to the big defensive play by marching to the end zone for their only touchdown of the game.
"Got lucky I guess,'' Polamalu said about the interception. "They just had a flat curl route, and I was just going wherever the ball was going.''
But Polamalu came up with other key plays, timing a snap and sacking Wallace for a 3-yard loss, knocking away a short pass to Peyton Hills and being involved in knocking away a desperation throw by the Browns on the final play of the game.
In addition, cornerback Ike Taylor held receiver Greg Little without a catch, linebacker Lawrence Timmons and Clark recorded sacks, and cornerback William Gay knocked away two passes.
"We need to get more turnovers,'' Keisel said. "Troy's pick was huge, but we need to get more turnovers. But I thought any time you hold an NFL team to single digits [in points], it's pretty good.''
Unlike in the 49ers game, the defense came through after the offense put it in bad positions. Twice in the fourth quarter, Steelers running back Isaac Redman fumbled the ball to the Browns, but both times the Pittsburgh defense kept the Browns from getting into scoring range.
"We knew we had to go out and get stops,'' Keisel said. "We got a good defense, and sometimes in situations you have to make a stop and give your team a chance to win. And we did that today.''
The defense has been performing well for the last two months, and that's been without one of its defensive stars in linebacker LaMarr Woodley. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Woodley could be ready for the playoffs.
"It's that time of year,'' Tomlin said. "[The defense has] got to respond in that manner. We expect them to. We appreciate the fact that they delivered, but that's the level of expectation, particularly this time of year.''
The Steelers will travel to Denver in the first round of playoffs. If they get past the Broncos, they'll face the prospect of traveling to Baltimore and New England to reach the Super Bowl.
With the offense not playing well, the Steelers defense, which was highly criticized for being too old after their first-game loss to the Ravens back in September, will need to continue on its strong stretch run.
"On defense, we have a lot of work to still do,'' Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton said. "But we'll be alright. Everybody's got guys banged up at this time of year. You just got to go out and get it done.''

Protesters voice concerns about voter suppression
Small rally held at Metro Hall
Published 7:52 PM EST Jan 19, 2013
A small rally was held at Metro Hall on Saturday as protesters voiced concerns about voter suppression.
The protesters also said they were concerned about the huge amount of money spent on political campaigns.
"Ordinary citizens don't have unlimited funds, and their voice in terms of freedom of speech is limited compared to those who can put in tens of millions of dollars," organizer George Schuhmann said.
Similar rallies were held across the country and were scheduled to coincide with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday events.

NAIROBI, 26 September 2012 – The Kenya Climate Innovation Centre (CIC), a cutting-edge facility to boost locally sourced green technology, was launched today in Nairobi, Kenya. The centre will offer financing and other services to a growing network of climate technology entrepreneurs and innovators.
"I am proud to see the world's first Climate Innovation Centre being launched in Kenya," declared Mohammed Dawood, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, at the launch ceremony. He also highlighted the "critical role" of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in realizing the centre.
The launch was attended by members of the Kenyan government, private sector leaders and representatives of development agencies.
The Kenya CIC is expected to support up to 70 sustainable climate technology ventures within five years. It is estimated that these companies could create up to 4,600 direct and indirect jobs over 5 years and over 24,000 jobs in total within 10 years,
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, the Centre will accelerate business in high-growth sectors such as renewable energy, clean water, agriculture and energy efficiency.
The concept for the Centre was developed in a 2010 report entitled Climate Innovation Centres - a new way to foster climate technologies in the developing world? that was jointly prepared by UNIDO; the UK's Department for International Development (DFID); and infoDev, the World Bank's global partnership programme. The UNIDO office in Kenya was part of the winning consortium that set up the CIC.
The CIC is supported by infoDev, in partnership with the governments of Denmark and the UK, and will be seeded by a contribution of US$15 million over five years.
The Centre will serve as a model for six other climate innovation centres that are being established in other developing countries. These centres will be equipped with the necessary infrastructure to work in close connection with each other.

UNIVERSITY PARK - It's looking more and more likely that Penn State will play Central Florida in Dublin, Ireland in 2014.
"We're close. I'm telling you we're close. I hope it happens soon. But I think we're close," O'Brien said of the planning for that overseas game.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Friday that Central Florida officials just returned from Ireland, where they were checking things out and working on details. The newspaper cited sources saying the game likely will be played at Croke Park in Dublin, a stadium built in 1913 (renovated in 2004) that seats 82,300.
News and notes
O'Brien addressed a number of topics Friday before teeing off in the Coaches vs. Cancer golf event:
n The coach was asked if he has any thoughts about the Paterno family lawsuit against the NCAA and quickly responded, "No. Nope."
n It was one year ago at the Coaches vs. Cancer event when O'Brien named Matt McGloin the starting quarterback for 2012, but the Nittany Lions are in a different situation this year as incoming freshman Christian Hackenberg isn't even expected on campus until later this month.
"I don't think it's too different," O'Brien said of the circumstances. "We have one quarterback here on campus right now with Tyler Ferguson, and that's the guy who definitely has the lead going into training camp because he's been here. He's been here for 15 practices and a lot of meetings, so it's not that much different."
n When Hackenberg does arrive, the first thing he will do is what all incoming freshmen must do. "The big thing is they get acclimated to the class schedule first," O'Brien said. "They'll take a couple classes, they'll have study hall, knowing their way around campus, which he already knows a lot of that. Then they'll begin to work out with [strength coach Craig Fitzgerald]."
n O'Brien said the Lions did not lose any players to academics in the recently completed school year, but he did say some players have some work to do this summer.
n Most of the team is on campus this summer.
"I kind of leave it up to them unless they absolutely need it for academic reasons," O'Brien said. "I believe the majority of the team is here. It's voluntary, the workouts and things, but I'd say the majority of the team is here, going to class, working out."
n The offseason workout program will be a little different this season since the coaches and trainers know the players' individual strengths and weaknesses better.
"We've probably asked them to focus on individual skills that I think will make us a better team," O'Brien said.
"And then scheme-wise, we won't be the same team we were last year. We have a brand new quarterback, things like that are different, defensively we'll be different. I think you always have to change. You've got to stay on the edge of things. You can't just stay the same."
n More than 300 high school players are expected to attend today's Advanced Skills camp at PSU, and O'Brien addressed how significant camps like that will be to the program for recruiting.
"Camps are big for a lot of reasons," he said. "We have about 300 kids are showing up to [today's] camp, and to me, it's not only a chance for us to meet these guys, evaluate these guys, but it's also a chance for these guys to see our campus and see what this place is all about."
n O'Brien would love to see a hockey game played at Beaver Stadium.
"I would be all for that," he said. "I've told [AD] Dave Joyner that. To play a hockey game in Beaver Stadium in January or late December I think it would be great for this area.
"It would be interesting to see how many people we got at a game like that. You think we'd get 100,000? That would be pretty good. I think that'd be cool. I love hockey. My wife's a bigger hockey fan than me. I'm looking forward to the Bruins-Penguins series. I'm a Bruins fan, sorry about that to the Penguins fans out there. Going to try to get down to a game down in Pittsburgh."
n Someone bid $5,100 for the opportunity to play with O'Brien and men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers during Friday's golf outing. O'Brien said he's about a 25 handicap and noted he played golf several times last weekend on Cape Cod. He added that his father, who just turned 80, bested him on the course.
