FITCHBURG -- A Gardner man accused of stealing an ATM from a Fitchburg restaurant during a break-in last month was arraigned in Fitchburg District Court Thursday.
Security footage showed two men breaking into the Singapore Restaurant on Whalon Street on April 25. The robbers forced their way in and swiped two liquor bottles, which they drank from and broke, and stole an ATM loaded with cash.
The empty ATM was found the next day in the woods by Westminster police.
Police used security footage from a neighboring restaurant to identify a white van the thieves used.
Robert Nys, 46, of 45 Graham St., Gardner, was identified as one of the suspects., Police documents indicate he admitted to the theft to Gardner police. The identity of the other man was not available.
Nys is charged with breaking and entering, breaking into a depository, larceny under $250, larceny over $250 and vandalizing property. Bail was set for $500.

A bedroom closet seems like an odd place to store one's Olympic hopes.
But inside Kenny McCudden's Crystal Lake home, the red, white and blue warm-ups he has worn during his 21/2 years working with the United States women's hockey national team hang alongside his suits and ties rather than with the rest of his collection of coaching clothes.
McCudden doesn't know yet if he will be part of the coaching staff that accompanies the women's team to the Sochi Winter Olympics. Final word is expected to come in a matter of days. But not having a definitive answer won't dampen the longtime skating coach's enthusiasm.
"I kind of feel like a little bit of a player right now (being) in the process of trying to make the final cut," McCudden said this week. "My gut feeling is that I will be there and I'll be excited to be there. But at the same time, I understand that is out of my control."
An Olympic appointment would hold special meaning for McCudden, who is the Chicago Wolves' skating coach and who oversaw private Blackhawks workouts during last year's NHL lockout. In his time with the women's team, McCudden has helped prepare the Americans for a gold medal run at the upcoming Sochi Games. The U.S. won the silver medal in 2010, finishing behind Canada.
This year's Olympic team is built for speed. That puts an onus on precise skating, clearly defining McCudden's role. Because there is no body-checking allowed in the women's Olympic format, a greater emphasis is placed on skill. That's where McCudden has come in, physically preparing U.S. players for what they will face once the games begin. He has proven to be the right fit.
"The players love his enthusiasm and he has a ton of respect for them, so it's really fun to watch them interact," Reagan Carey, USA Hockey's director of women's hockey said Wednesday.
"You're talking about the best players in the world, and so everybody is skilled and everybody is talented. So it comes down to the details and the little things, and a lot of what Kenny focuses on is just those little things, and that's what makes us better."
The Americans boast a talented roster, but Canada has won three straight gold medals. But based on the work McCudden has seen U.S. players put in, he knows, when the time comes, they will be ready.
"Their compete level is absolutely off the charts," McCudden said. "The thing I've appreciated is how they just want to get better. They don't have the same level of competition (to make the team) as the men do because there's not as many women play hockey. So for them, the whole progression of them trying to make a team is phenomenal."
McCudden knows the feeling. Although he has remained part of a coaching staff that can change throughout the lead-up to the Olympics, McCudden has had to work to maintain his spot on just getting the chance to represent his country in Russia.
"You're going through the exact same time period as a player is," he said. "I just felt internally that I had to work that much harder every time I traveled with the team. Whether I was in Minnesota, Boston, Lake Placid – wherever I was going – I had to get better because my goal was to get to Sochi."

Norton Hurd: A lifetime of helping people
|Norton Hurd accepts the 2013 Pride of Middlesex Award from Middlesex Rotary Club president Pam Waldron (left) as his wife Alvine (right) joins in the celebration. (Photo by Tom Chillemi)
by Tom Chillemi
Norton Hurd, the 2013 recipient of the 15th annual Pride of Middlesex Award, lived by the advice he gave his children.
"It takes a long time to earn a good reputation, and it takes a short time to get a bad one," was one of Norton's sayings, said his son, Mike Hurd, who spoke at the award ceremony on Saturday at Christchurch School.
"Norton Hurd is here tonight partly because of his lifetime spent earning a great reputation," Mike told the large audience who attended the banquet.
Mike summarized Norton's life by asking the audience what sentence has his father repeated the most. The answer: "Can I help you with something?"
Norton started Hurd's Hardware in Deltaville in 1946 and today, at age 96, he's still waiting on customers.
Helping people in the store and in the community is something Norton has done most of his life, said Mike. He was a teacher at Amelia High School, a coach, a flight instructor, a Sunday school teacher, and a church leader at Philippi Christian Church. He helped establish the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad, the Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department, the Middlesex Lions Club, and the Deltaville Community Association. Norton also was a jury commissioner and served on the Middlesex Airport Committee. For 25 years, Norton was on the board of directors for the Bank of Middlesex.
"He did more than help customers," said Mike. "He helped visitors find comfort in knowing they had a local business where they were welcome and had a friend they could depend on.
"He taught others about the equality of people, and to treat people the same, regardless of race, sex or whether they were rich or poor," Mike said. "People who were born here or came here have all been treated the same, and all of them know they have a friend in Norton Hurd."
Norton is disappointed when his store does not have what a customer is looking for, said Jack. Norton overheard Jack tell a customer, "I can't remember the last time we had any, and I don't know when we will get any." Norton anxiously wanted to know what the customer wanted. "Rain," was Jack's reply.
"Even if he wasn't my father," said Jack, "he is one of those people who makes you feel like you're a better person, just for knowing him."
Myra Wall, Norton's daughter, said that she kept a letter her father wrote her while in college. "Think with your head, and not your heart," was his advice.
Middlesex Rotary president Pam Waldron, who said she is a "come here," recalled how she enjoyed it when Norton would visit a local restaurant while she was there. "If you could overhear the conversation at the men's table, you knew what was going on in town."
Norton Hurd designated that the $1,000 award, raised by the Pride of Middlesex Awards, go to Hands Across Middlesex.
The remainder of funds raised goes toward college scholarships.

When I was putting together our little tour I realised how many collections we have in our home -- books, CDs, surfboards, snow globes, magazines, children (just kidding).
I've already posted this photo but it made sense to include it here to give perspective. You can see how the dining area leads into the lounge area, which leads into the study, which leads into the kitchen. Classic narrow terrace living.
Some of my magazine collection. Lots of Australian Vogue, some dating back to the '90s (high school days) as well as British, American, Teen and French Vogue, Frankie, Russh, Country Style, Living Etc. The list goes on. I don't throw out glossies and go back to them quite often.
In the kitchen: can you see the surfboards by the fridge? There are more on the other side of the fridge too. Next to them is a tiny laundry cupboard. The French doors lead out to a little raised courtyard where we keep potted plants and two guinea pigs called Mookie and Peso. The boys named them.
Looking into the kitchen from the study area. We keep the computer paraphernalia like the printer, scanner and paper in the red Ikea PS locker.
A little kitsch gallery in the living area. I love thrifting for funny old pieces. These ones come from garage sales, markets and Mitchell Road Antique Centre in Alexandria. The top left is a self portrait the eldest drew in grade six. Max has named the girl in the bottom left 'Angelina'.
In the study area again, the popular and contemporary fiction bookshelf which is a mishmash of randomness. Top shelves: board games and biographies, plus the kids and my snow globe collection that I started 14 years ago. Middle shelf: we still have a large CD collection, mostly the mister's as I am sadly musically challenged.
More magazines. These ones were stacked on an industrial spool repurposed as a side table by the lounge.
Some of Rose's little shoes in the nursery: two hand-me-down pairs (the checkered ones used to be Max's) and a sparkly gift pair.
So that was a few of the little corners around our home, I hope you enjoyed visiting! Do let me know if I can tour your home too, I'd love to see :)
Part one of our mini house tour.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson bemoaned his side's defending as they came out on top in a 4-3 thriller against Reading to go three points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
After the game Ferguson was in no doubt as to the defensive display from his side that could have cost them a vital victory in the title race.
"I don't know what to make of it, the first half the defending was the worst this season, absolutely no doubt about that," he said. "Nobody competed for the crosses, in fairness Reading have a great delivery of the ball - the boy (Nicky) Shorey whips them in, fantastic crosses but we should be doing better than that. It was terrible."

2013 Baseball
Beavers sweep Anna Maria for 7-2 start
Bluffton gets it done late in sweep of Anna Maria
March 8, 2013
By: Kyle Niermann, sports information intern
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Bluffton University baseball team used an eight-run inning in game one and a walk-off single in game two to sweep Anna Maria at Fort Myers, Fla., on Friday, March 8, 2013. Eight runs in the sixth inning of the lidlifter propelled Bluffton to a 10-6 victory over the Amcats before junior captain Doug Paullin (Jeromesville/Hillsdale) laced a game-winning single in the nightcap as Bluffton improved to 7-2 on the season.
The first game of the doubleheader began quietly for the Beavers who went the first three innings without scoring a run while stranding four runners. It appeared as though there would be carry over from the previous day's contest, when Bluffton stranded 13 runners.
While the Beaver bats were cold, the Amcats were taking advantage of their opportunities. In the bottom of the first inning, Anna Maria managed to push two runs across against Bluffton starter Miles Richardson (Granville/Newark Catholic) and they did the same thing in the bottom of the second for a 4-0 lead. Richardson took over as the designated in favor of Hunter Ewing (Loveland) who came in and handled the Amcat hitters for the rest of the game.
The Beavers finally got on the board in the fourth inning, starting with a Jake Townley (Mansfield/Madison) double down the left field line. The next batter, David Ianiro (Mayfield), lined a fastball into the right-centerfield gap for a triple, scoring Townley. Ianiro would later cross the dish on a wild pitch.
Bluffton went quietly in the fifth but exploded for eight runs in the sixth which, again, was started by Townley. He was hit by a pitch and, following a line out and a pitching change, Mike Castro (Reynoldsburg), was also pegged by a pitch. Following a walk which loaded the bases, Jeff Roth (Bellevue) flared a ball over the second baseman's head for a single, making the score 4-3 in favor of the Amcats. With the bases still full, Kyle Niermann (Napoleon) linee a full count fastball down the right field line for a double and two RBI. The Beavers had a lead they would not relinquish, but the inning was far from over. After a strikeout, Richardson helped out his own cause by driving a single to left field, plating two more runs. After a single from Tim Webb (Deleware/Worthington Christian), the bases were again loaded for Ianiro, who walked, scoring another run. The final runs of the inning came when Doug Paullin lined a ball up the middle, adding two more tallies to the total. When the dust settled, the Beavers had plated eight runs on five hits, and it would be all they needed as their lead stood at 10-4.
The Amcats did make some noise in the final inning, plating two runs, but the game ended when, with runners on second and thrid, Joe McNeil smoked a base knock up the middle, which scored a run, but the trail runner was pegged at the plate on a strong throw from Niermann.
The final line for Ewing, who earned his first collegiate win, was five innings in relief, two runs (none earned) and three strikeouts. Niermann and Richardson led the Bluffton offense, collecting three and two hits, respectively.
Game two began in a similar fashion and it looked as though Bluffton would not be able to find the big hit. The Beavers stranded six runners in the first four innings, including a bases loaded situation in the fourth.
Doing a good job of keeping the Anna Maria hitters at bay was senior hurler Mark Hadaya (Beavercreek), who, despite struggling a bit early, settled down and only allowed three runs in his six innings of work while striking out two.
Bluffton did not manage to score until the bottom of the fifth inning which began with a Niermann double to left, his third hit of the game. Senior Anthony Cianci (Ravenna/Southeast) followed with a single to left, plating Niermann and making the score 3-1. However, a couple fly outs and a strikeout ended the threat.
The next inning, the Beavers were at it again. With one out, Paullin singled up the middle and went to second on a wild pitch. Aaron Young (Shelby) then chopped a ball to the left side that bounced over the third basemen's head for a single. The ball was misplayed by the left fielder and Young advanced to third as Paullin crossed the plate. Following a Roth walk, Young scored on an error by the second baseman, tying the game at three. Two fly outs ended the inning, but the Beavers had what they needed.
The Beavers made a pitching change in the top of the seventh, bringing in Niermann, who had not pitched since his freshman year, to keep the game tied. The job was done as he surrendered a single but nothing more, en route to his first collegiate victory on the mound.
The bottom of the seventh went as well as the Beavers could have hoped. It began with a Greg Franks (Smithville) base knock, which was followed by hits from Townley and Ianiro. The bases were loaded with no outs for Paullin who laced the first pitch he saw up the middle, past a drawn in infield, to give the Beavers a dramatic 4-3 walk-off win.
Leading the Beavers offensivley in game two were Paullin, Townley, and Franks, all with two hits, and Niermann who finished with three safeties.
Bluffton improved to 7-2 following the sweep which gives the Beavers momentum heading into their final matchup of the Florida trip, a game versus Heidelberg that is slated to start at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Remember the Computer Science Past Or Be Condemned To Repeat It? 479
theodp writes "In the movie Groundhog Day, a weatherman finds himself living the same day over and over again. It's a tale to which software-designers-of-a-certain-age can relate. Like Philip Greenspun, who wrote in 1999, 'One of the most painful things in our culture is to watch other people repeat earlier mistakes. We're not fond of Bill Gates, but it still hurts to see Microsoft struggle with problems that IBM solved in the 1960s.' Or Dave Winer, who recently observed, 'We marvel that the runtime environment of the web browser can do things that we had working 25 years ago on the Mac.' And then there's Scott Locklin, who argues in a new essay that one of the problems with modern computer technology is that programmers don't learn from the great masters. 'There is such a thing as a Beethoven or Mozart of software design,' Locklin writes. 'Modern programmers seem more familiar with Lady Gaga. It's not just a matter of taste and an appreciation for genius. It's a matter of forgetting important things.' Hey, maybe it's hard to learn from computer history when people don't acknowledge the existence of someone old enough to have lived it, as panelists reportedly did at an event held by Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us last Friday!"

The daughters name might be Gertrude Leonore Parmenter, but I am not certain. There was an Albert William Flanders who married my great-great aunt, Laura Hanson, so there could be a connection there, but I have not been able to find it. Uncertain of photos date, so youll have to judge it based on clothing and hair style.

Passing the Ass Around!
Pages: 1
This will be the first time posting our story.... So far we have only done MFM. It all began one night of drinking, me and my girlfriend decided to let my cousin watch us in the bedroom. We had never done anything like this.. she was a virgin when we got together. He was watching closly, telling us how good we fucked. I asked her if she wanted to touch his cock.. She said " I don't know". So I told him to whip it out, and I had her grab and jerk his cock, thats all that happened that night. A couple of months later, same situation... our friends are passed out. The three of us go in the room, I start fucking her doggie style on the bed. I tell her to suck his dick, he stands on the side of the bed and she puts his 9 inch & thick cock in her mouth, she sucks it good... I can hear him tell her to lick his shaft, she's sucking him & sucking him..enjoying this new huge cock in her mouth.. then all of a sudden he pulls it out and cums in his hand. He goes into the bathroom washes up and comes right back, now shes on her back across the bed.. i'm fucking her like crazy because of what I just saw. He's already ready for more, he then drops his cock right in her mouth while on her back... Then we start talking about DP... now she is riding me. We didn't have any condoms, so it took some convincing from him to let him have her ass bare. We moved to the edge of the bed, I can feel her tense up as he is trying to slide his big cock in her ass... He gets it in she starts moaning loudly... he gives her two good pumps, then pulls out and shoots a load on my thigh. Of course i flip out and have him whip it immediately. lol. A couple of weeks after that same thing, but this time me and him are up late and she laying down in the room. We both go to the bedroom.. We start touching her.. she sucks me while he eats her ass and pussy like a wild man. Then he gets up, gets a condom puts it on , & as she's laying on her back he slides his thick Cock in her pussy as I watch closely. They then switch to doggie very briefly, as I grab her cheeks and slam her on his big cock. I then tell her to ride him, she does ... he grabs her bubble butt and spreads her cheeks far apart... we then try DP again. Didn't work so he pulls out, I fuck her ass till I cum inside her. She then Starts riding him again for a while as I watch.... He finishes by cumming inside her w/ the condom on. After that night she has sucked his cock in many different positions. But we haven't done anything in a while... She would definitely like to feel the DP again, and for a longer period of time.
Thanks for your time guys... this story is 100 % accurate

Burrage tied the game 60-60 with a jumper with 57 seconds remaining. After a Bearkat turnover, he hit the game winner with 1.9 seconds remaining with a six-foot jumper from inside the lane.
Sam Houston State (6-9, Southland 0-1), outscored UTSA 34-28 in the second period and held a 59-52 lead with 3:33 remaining after a pair of free throws by Darius Gatson.
Konner Tucker led the Bearkats with 19 points including five three-pointers.
UTSA (9-6, Southland 2-0) had two other players in double figures with Michael Hale scoring 13 and Jeromie Hill 10.
Sam Houston outscored UTSA 28-22 in the paint and picked up 24 points off the Roadrunners' 20 turnovers.
San Antonio went on an 8-0 run, including two game-clinching buckets from Kannon Burrage to steal the victory right from under Sam Houston.
One more stop at the end of the game could have resulted in overtime, but Burrage was hot and hit on seven of his eight shot attempts to lead the Roadrunners with 17 points.
Sam Houston point guard Darius Gatson's only two turnovers in the game came at the most critical point, when he was called for consecutive offensive fouls drawn by Michael Hale III. Both fouls set up Burrage's shots down the stretch.
Still, the Bearkats showed promise in different areas.
"It's always tough when that happens and they hit a last second shot with just one second to go," Tucker said after the game. "I thought we did a lot of great things today.
"We made a lot of really good plays. Defensively, we knew everything they were doing, just came up short at the end."
Sam Houston shot 43 percent from the field after struggling offensively in its non-conference schedule.
Konner Tucker led the Bearkats with 19 points and Steven Werner came off the bench to add nine points.
Even with Sam Houston's committment on the defensive end, the conference's top shooting Roadrunners went 56 percent from the field. San Antonio managed to win the game in spite of its 20 turnovers compared to Sam Houston's eight.
Bearkats head coach Jason Hooten was not happy with the San Antonio shooting 56 percent for the game and wanted to see his team win the rebounding battle, which didn't happen.
The Roadrunners' depth was critical against the Bearkats.
Hooten noted after the game that San Antonio rotated 10 players, while Sam Houston rotated eight.
However, both teams had seven players who played 22 minutes or more.
San Antonio's bench still outscored outscored Sam Houston's 33-14
"It was hard fought Southland Conference game," Hooten said. "That's kind of what we thought it would be. They've got a really good team. They're picked first for a reason. We fought back in the second half and also started off the game really well.
"But they're really deep and they kept coming at us."
The teams went back and forth in the first half with four lead changes and two tied scores.
Sam Houston's Aaron Harwell stole a pass and took it the other way to score on an up-and-under layup.
From that point, San Antonio went on a 17-7 run with consecutive 3s from Hale and Burrage, five straight points for Sei Paye, then more 3s from Igor Nujic and Stephen Franklin.
The Bearkats come away from this experience knowing they can hang with the Southland Conference tournament champions and one of the league's favorites to do it again in a game where San Antonio couldn't miss.
The Roadrunners knocked down eight-of-12 3-pointers in the first half, but missed all five long range attempts after the break.
"I think Sam is a good basketball team and had a lot to do with why we didn't play well," San Antonio head coach Brooks Thompson said after the game. "I thought in the first half we played pretty well. Then in the second half they started getting physical and really played a better second half than we did.
"The thing I'm proud of is that we made the plays down the stretch that we had to make to win."

ALLEN PARK — Jared Allen remembers his early games in the NFL.
And that is exactly why the Minnesota Vikings defensive end will not take Detroit Lions left tackle Riley Reiff lightly.
The Lions and Vikings open the regular season at 1 p.m. Sunday at Ford Field.
"To be honest you have to prepare and bring your A game,'' the 31-year-old Allen said in a conference call on Wednesday. "Young guys are trying to make a name in the league too. How else do you make a name beside beating established players.
"I remember when I was young I got to go against Orlando Pace — I was licking my chops I was excited,'' Allen said. "I expect him to come out full of piss and vinegar, grit and ready to rock and roll.
"In this league you never want to take anybody for granted or approach anything thing because they're young you're going to have an easy day because you will be humbled,'' said Allen, the five-time Pro Bowler.
One edge Allen certainly has on Reiff is verbosity.
Reiff resembles Jeff Backus, the Lions' long-time left tackle who retired, right down to his quiet ways.
When the schedule came out, Reiff was not foaming at the mouth knowing that in his first full season as a starter (he had one start last season against Houston on Thanksgiving), he would be facing Allen, one of the best in the business.
"He's been with the Vikings I don't know how many years,'' Reiff said. "I knew he'd be starting he's a good player, I'm looking forward to the matchup.''
Reiff, a first-round draft pick in 2012, got a taste of the NFL last season in his one start and then when he lined up outside the tackles in a special package.
While there was competition at right tackle and right guard in training camp, left tackle had Reiff's name on it.
Getting the best of Allen, who has 117 career sacks in nine seasons, on Sunday would get Reiff off to a solid start.
"That would be a lot for us to get him (Jared Allen) blocked. He's a great player and he makes a lot of plays,'' coach Jim Schwartz said. "This isn't Riley Reiff's first start in the NFL. He started against a very good Houston team with some very good outside pass rushers last year and stepped in and did a nice job on a very short week.
"He played a lot of football for us last year. I'm sure that Jared Allen is going to be ready. Riley is going to be ready. All of our guys are going to be ready,'' Schwartz said.
Allen said it will be a little strange not to be lining up against Backus.
"It should be interesting,'' Allen said. "He had a notebook on me, I had a notebook on him. It makes you realize you're getting up there.''
Backus, who shows up occasionally at practice, still keeps in touch with Reiff and vice-versa. He'll call the retiree for tips this week on how to handle Allen.
"That's a very important matchup in this game. Jared Allen is a guy that makes a bunch of sacks, turns the ball over a lot, can force you into holding penalties and stuff,'' Schwartz said. "Riley, or whoever is lined up against Jared Allen, is going to have to play their very best."

text: Ah, Stargate: SG-1. I really liked this game. My experience is the one written by AEG. The book is a true tome, and for any fan of the TV series worth the price just for the in-depth background presented which takes up about half the book. I have actually incorporated many of the game mechanics of this game into several of my former campaigns. Of course, I am partial. The book is great for first time GMs too.

Loved it so much that I up and bought a motorcycle so I could take a tour every visit without the problem of trying to rent without an ARC (and without insurance - yikes).
I've been planning to ride from Kaohsiung across the Southern Cross Highway (20) to Taidong, then along the coast back to Kaohsiung, perhaps via the 199. But I read from another thread http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=106497&p=1388229&hilit=southern+cross#p1388229 that the road remains closed. Someone please tell me that a motorcycle can cross it? (I'll be on a 150cc cruiser-style motorcycle - not a scooter.) Even if it's closed to most people, I really really want to, plus I'm a nice guy, so that's probably enough to make the road available, right?
Google streetview images appear to be post-Morakot, so that's what made me think it's open. Anybody try riding Southern Cross Highway 20 on a motorcycle in the last couple months?
You could consider doing one of my tours when you visit. Both are sold out for 2012. But I'll probably have 3 for 2013. And it reduces the price if you have your own vehicle: http://hobbicide.com/M13Taiwan/

By the numbers
2: Interceptions by Ohio State in the first quarter on Saturday
3: Consecutive 100-yard rushing games by OSU's Carlos Hyde
2:17: Time elapsed on Ohio State's game-opening drive, resulting in a Carlos Hyde touchdown run
6: Heading into the game on Saturday, times Ohio State had returned an interception for a touchdown against Penn State
14-13: Ohio State has a one-game edge in the all-time season series, including 8-7 in Columbus
45: Game-time temperature
414: First-half yardage by Ohio State
Alternate uniform time
Ohio State was decked out in the same alternate uniforms for the Penn State game that they wore on Sept. 28 when it played Wisconsin.
The Nike Rivalry uniforms include shiny silver helmets with green buckeye leaves.
The only difference is OSU's players wore pink socks on Saturday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Think pink...
Shades of pink were prevalent inside Ohio Stadium on Saturday as OSU, Penn State and the fans recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Cheerleaders wore pink tops — and even the pyrotechnics that were shot off above the south stands when Ohio State took the field were pink.
... Or Red
While shades of pink were noticeable, so was the overriding sea of scarlet in Ohio Stadium on Saturday. At the beckoning of Ohio State, fans were asked to "Scarlet Out the Shoe" for the Penn State game. Judging from the sea of scarlet, the effort was much more successful than when the school attempted earlier in the season to have every other section dress in scarlet and gray.
Special guest
Grant Reed, the 12-year-old boy who named his tumor "Michigan," in his battle to fight cancer, was in attendance on Saturday.
Reed led the crowd in a cheer of "O-H-I-O" after script Ohio was performed. Then, he stood at midfield with the band director and drum major during the singing of Ohio State's alma mater, Carmen Ohio.
Can you top that?
One week after its halftime tribute to Michael Jackson went viral on the Internet, Ohio State's marching band dazzled the crowd with a show termed "Hollywood Blockbusters."
Music from Superman, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean was featured, with stunts including Superman emerging from a phone booth to catch a falling building and two pirate ships firing at each other.

Well, maybe. Just don't say that to Mike Adams.
"I don't think things were OK in the beginning," the veteran safety said Monday, laughing.
"We've still got to play," he elaborated. "(The playoffs are a) whole different season."
In a locker room full of players who should have been thrilled to leave the Patriots a step behind them, Adams' opinion wasn't unique. Most of the Broncos who spoke to the media Monday read little more into Sunday's results than to be thankful they got to watch from their couches. Sure, they want to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC come January, but they know the harsh truth: Being the top seed guarantees them nothing.
Just look at last year, when the Broncos marched out of the gate against the Baltimore Ravens as clear favorites, the No. 1 seed vs. the No. 4. The tale is still fresh, the devastating loss, an upset for the ages, blah, blah, blah.
But really, what happened on that ice-cold day last January shouldn't have shocked anyone. In the past 10 seasons, only eight No. 1 seeds have played in the Super Bowl, which means that 12 times out of 20, it has been a lower-seeded team with a harder path to the championship.
At the onset of Week 16, it would be crazy to say that the Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks aren't the clear favorites to be bundling up in New Jersey in February. Even so, these Broncos know that being a favorite means nothing, and getting the No. 1 seed is as much about pride as it is anything else.
"I see it as though it don't matter," Adams said. "You've seen the underdog win before. You see guys go on the road and win all the games. You see people who have one home game and win out, and vice versa. It really doesn't matter."
If anything, Week 15'sresults -- three of the four AFC division leaders lost -- have installed a sense of urgency in these Broncos. They know if they win out, they have the ultimate control, and even if that control guarantees nothing, they'd rather have it than not.
"Well, I think you just better have your 'A' game ready," coach John Fox said. "This is a great example of that. You look at the top three seeds, us included, losing, and all to division teams that maybe weren't really high in the standings. I think it just goes to show you that on any given Sunday, you better be ready to play."
Even facing two opponents with losing records to round out the season, first the Houston Texans and then the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos can't be looking to January -- not yet. One loss, and the Kansas City Chiefs could gain control of the division, pushing the Broncos all the way down to a No. 5 seed. Two losses, and the Chiefs are almost certainly at the top. That would mean not only travel, but also an extra game, an extra chance to lose.
"We've got to handle our business," defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said.
No team is invincible. Last weekend proved as much, and now that the Broncos have had a three-day taste of what it feels like to lose control, you have to know they'll be clinging to it like crazy.

New Tennessee Volunteer skipper to make managerial debut for Team USA
DURHAM, N.C. — USA Baseball announced Tuesday the naming of Dave Serrano as manager of the 2012 Collegiate National Team. The new Tennessee Volunteer head coach will be making his managerial debut for Team USA.
Serrano was named the 24th head coach of the University Tennessee baseball program on June 15, on the heels of his fourth season at the helm of Cal State Fullerton. The former Titans skipper earned Big West Coach of the Year honors in 2011 for the second season in a row and led Fullerton to its 20th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
"We could not be more pleased with Dave Serrano accepting our invitation to serve as manager of the 2012 Collegiate National Team," said Eric Campbell, general manager of USA Baseball National Teams. "The energy and passion he brought to the Collegiate program in 2010 was key to the success of that club, and we're confident those qualities will carry over to the 2012 team as well."
Serrano's first experience in the red, white and blue came as pitching coach of the 2010 Collegiate team. He helped guide a staff headlined by several 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft first round picks, including Gerrit Cole (No. 1 overall, Pittsburgh Pirates), Sonny Gray (No. 18 overall, Oakland Athletics), Matt Barnes (No. 19 overall, Boston Red Sox), Tyler Anderson (No. 20 overall, Colorado Rockies), and Sean Gilmartin (No. 28 overall, Atlanta Braves). The 2010 club finished 16-3 overall, and Serrano's staff compiled a 1.22 ERA for the summer.
"It is a tremendous honor to be given the opportunity to lead the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team," said Serrano. "My experience on Bill Kinneberg's staff in 2010 was nothing but first class, and I am both excited and humbled to have the chance to put on the USA Baseball uniform once again. I look forward to putting together a talented staff and representing this great country next year."
Over 17 seasons at the Division I level, dating back to the start of his coaching career at Cerritos College in 1998 and including stints at Tennessee, UC Irvine and Fullerton, Serrano has secured 16 postseason bids and has tutored 161 draft picks. Seven of the picks were first-round selections and 23 ultimately reached the Major League level. Serrano has coached 19 players that have starred for USA Baseball National Teams, including Todd Helton and Christian Colon, and he is one of just 11 head coaches ever to lead two teams to the College World Series in Omaha (UC Irvine, 2007; Cal State Fullerton, 2009).
The 2012 Collegiate National Team schedule and the remainder of the coaching staff are currently being finalized. An announcement will be made prior to the end of the year and details will be available on www.USABaseball.com. In 2011, the Collegiate team finished with an 11-2-1 record, and its season was highlighted by a 3-1-1 series win over Japan in the two counties' bi-annual collegiate all-star friendship series.

Brazil's real rose for the first time in four days as the central bank eased reserve requirements on bets against the dollar to boost the local currency.
The real appreciated 0.5 percent to 2.0892 per U.S. per dollar at 4:33 p.m. in Sao Paulo. Swap rates on contracts due in July 2014 increased two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 7.27 percent.
Financial institutions will be required to collect reserve requirements on short dollar positions above $3 billion starting Dec. 20 instead of the previous $1 billion level. A short is a bet an asset will lose value.
"If the central bank is making those rules more flexible, it's because it wants a stronger real," Reginaldo Siaca, the currency manager at Advanced Corretora de Cambio in Sao Paulo, said in a phone interview. "The central bank wants the market to cede a bit so the exchange rate doesn't affect inflation."
The government started this month loosening capital controls it imposed in the past two years after the real tumbled to a three-year low on Nov. 30 as the economy grew in the third quarter at half the pace forecast by analysts.
Swap rates rose today as the Foundation Economics Research Institute reported that Sao Paulo's consumer prices increased more than economists forecast, spurring speculation the central bank will begin raising borrowing costs to stem inflation.
Brazil's policy makers left the target lending rate at a record low 7.25 percent last month following 10 straight reductions. Traders use interest-rate swaps to bet on the direction of borrowing costs.
Falling Real
The real has fallen 10.6 percent this year, the worst performance among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The weakness in the exchange rate is inflating the cost of interest payments for Brazilian borrowers and sapping profit at companies with expenses in dollars such as Petroleo Brasileiro SA and Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA.
Policy makers have swung in 2012 between selling currency swaps aimed at preventing the real from depreciating too quickly and offering reverse currency swaps to protect exporters by keeping the real from strengthening.
The central bank sold $2.1 billion in currency swaps on Dec. 3 and $1.6 billion on Nov. 23 to stem the real's declines. From August through October, the bank sold reverse currency swaps to keep the real weaker than 2 per dollar.
Foreign direct investment, which has hovered at almost record levels in recent years even as global economic growth has slowed, will increase by $2 billion to $65 billion next year, the central bank reported today. That is just enough to cover the expected current account gap next year. Foreign direct investment in November was $4.6 billion, more than the $3 billion forecast by economists.

Mere days after the third birthday of Age of Conan, developer Funcom has announced that the MMORPG based upon Robert E. Howard's fantasy stories will be relaunched under a free-to-play model this summer. On top of that, it's planning a burst of good, old-fashioned sex and violence for all to enjoy.
With the launch of Age of Conan: Unrated, as it'll be called, all and sundry will be able to download and play the MMO completely free. Age of Conan will become funded by an in-game item store, selling "exclusive content such as weaponry and mounts" for real money, and optional "premium" subscriptions. Funcom says these subscriptions are the same as the current regular subs, which cost--now, at least--$14.99 per month.
As is typical for free-to-play MMOs, non-premium members will face a number of restrictions. An FAQ explains that free players will have fewer character slots, be only to play certain classes, be blocked from Sieges and certain dungeons, be stuck riding slow mounts, and suffer various other annoyances that are generally tolerable when you haven't paid a single penny to play.
Going 'Unrated' will also let Age of Conan reaffirm "its position as the sexiest and most savage MMO in the world," Funcom says. The team plans to create new content that's "even more true" to Howard's original stories and their "barbaric, brutal and sexy setting."
A number of high-ish-profile MMOs have made the switch from regular subscriptions to a free-to-play model in recent years, including Dungeons & Dragons Online, Global Agenda, The Lord of the Rings Online, EverQuest II, Champions Online, and, soon, Hellgate: London.
Funcom separately announced yesterday that it's also working on new content based upon the upcoming movie Conan the Barbarian, set twenty years after the fantasy flick.

I hear often that when something new appears that "competition is good". The primary reasons competition is seen as good, are: it drives down prices; it gives consumers more choice; it pushes technology forward, quicker. Competition is not good because: competition is why consumers have to choose between HD-DVD and BluRay; competition is why DRM exists; and more. In this article, each of the supposed benefits of competition will be looked at in more detail.

RE[3]: Competition is the reason my computer boots slow?
by Karitku on Thu 30th Aug 2007 18:25 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Competition is the reason my computer boots slow?"
This is kinda silly because my experience with Amiga is classical example why non-diversity lost. Amiga might been superior in same area of technology, but it was also expensive, had quality issue and suffered bad decision of company. Amiga simply lost because it couldn't meet the demands of people and couldn't lean down the costs. Business wanted something that Amiga couldn't offer, cheap and choices. Nazis had superior tanks against Russians but they still lost because what war needed was cheap and good enough tank. Overall whole article is confusing, you should read history and study financing before you go make this kind silly articles.

Yeah, sure it does.
I'm not so sure I'd jump to the conclusion that this is useful.
Determining the amount of sarcasm in bird calls doesn't seem to be an effective way to use research money IMO.
a sarcasm detector? that's a real useful invention!
A tweet isn't a birdcall. It's a new technology the web uses to display 140 character messages online.

This may help people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome recognize satire.
You don't have to be sarcastic, they might really find this useful.
Come on, can we be serious, please? This is an important discussion.
Not necessarily. Machine learning algorithms are generally either neural networks or weighted Bayesian statistics. In other words, the magic comes from abstract numbers that have no human-readable equivalent.
I always found that the easiest way to learn rules for social behavior is to read manuals - i.e. things like Emily Post's Book of Etiquette, How to read a person like a book, etc. Yes, they're not perfect, but if I just treat human behavior like some buggy software package and the books as manuals, it
tl;dr - Ranting about sarcastic laughter and prominent fools
I find myself laughing at stuff the writer and director never intended to be funny, for my own reason. - Yes, laughing 'at', not 'with'. - In these cases my mirth stems from a hidden irony, you might consider me callous for laughing when Homer Simpson's heart is broken but I bare in mind that the fictional man has no vindicative characteristic what so ever beyond infrequent decency and that he exists only to entertain me. I loathe the character so

I'd have though that even autistics would be able to recognize horns, goat legs, and a pan pipe? Oh, satire.
So was he and so am I. So are you.
A sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention!
It's only a matter of time before we can automatically generate sarcasm. Then websites can have snide comments auto-generated. When that happens, I'd like to see penalties for those attempting clever snark but failing to be smarter than a computer.
Agreed. IMO, it's almost as useful as the world changing invention of Ballerina Tutu Dresses for chihuahuas [sassypup.net] and an order of magnitude more useful as the internet itself.
I guess it's for those who just don't get it!
Just end your sarcasm tags before being sarcastic. This won't conform to W3C standards, however.
Well, if the <sarcasm> tag is a text modifier that works in the same way as <em> and <strong>, you can safely nest them. They might prove idempotent but not necessarily. It depends on Slashdot's specific CSS.
Seth Myers, is that you?
Given that sometimes not even humans understand when I am being sarcastic, I expect this software will have an exceptionally high recognition rate with very low false positives. A truly remarkable achievement and the one algorithm the human race has been waiting for!
The algorithm can then identify sarcastic sentences that are nothing like the examples.
Good luck with that.
I forsee nothing but success for this algorithm.

Place it in my office. If it still responds at the end of the week, it's not working correctly. If it's overloaded and partially melted, we've got a winner.
Recognizing sarcastic tweets... do twits even know what sarcasm is?

Oh yeah, THAT would work!
Many Slashdot users can benefit from such a technology. There are medical conditions whose sufferers cannot detect sarcasm. This leads to social ostracism and can cause reduced productivity and in very extreme cases, depression. People may scoff, but imagine if we could provide this technology on a portable device for those victims of the spectrum of diseases that cause anxieties?

There are times when I have been the goat because I misunderstood "Yes, I'll have the work completed by Monday" to mean that the coming Monday, the work would be completed. My sarcasm detector did not fire to alert me that the cable installer was being sarcastic. I would like to see this sarcasm detector available for handheld devices. When a girl responded, "Yeah, I'll go out with you," I could then check my iPhone or Droid and know immediately she was making an attempt at humor.
FYI: Sarcasm, Lies, and Little White Lies are not the same things. The cable guy lied. The pretty girl gave a white (gray?) lie.
The cable guy lied.
Depending on the tone and context it might have easily been sarcastic. If you just asked him "Can you have it done by Monday?" and he'd just checked his schedule that's booked clear up 'till a week from Monday, for example...
FYI: Sarcasm, Lies, and Little White Lies are not the same things.
Oh, really? Thank you for sharing that.
Haha...taking a page from the FOX News playbook.. Play sarcasm straight..
It dates back into some of the great classic works of our time... upon reading Romeo and Juliet one critic was overheard saying:
"Nice play Shakespeare..."
or upon solving a great mystery, Watson was once overheard saying, "No shit Sherlock."
... why can't you?
Use the word 'fuck' in your tweet/post. This way the profanity filter will block your message/post before it ever gets to the irony filter..
Thats a great fucking idea.
Sarcasm? On *Twitter*?! Never!!!
Their algorithm gets 77% accuracy. I think I can do better:
# Estimated accuracy: 92.1%
isSarcastic(tweet) { return true; }
Or does that only work for slashdot comments?
The point of Sarcasm is that the words, the text itself, convey a literal meaning, while the actual intent (which must be deduced by the reader knowing certain things about the writer; sometimes just tone of voice is enough) is the polar opposite.
Actually, you have just given a definition of irony. To be sarcasm, it must also be insulting, taunting, or express contempt for the subject.
In other news, there is still no software that can detect tweets without sarcasm.
Its got a pretty web gui and everything.
http://www.twitter.com/ [twitter.com]
Yes, I'm trolling, but its still true!
Please don't sue me twitter, it was a joke, I'm really not claiming I wrote your crappy software!
If there is an algorithm for it, the Sheldon could use it to recognize (and produce?) sarcasm.
Wonderful, can they apply it to irony as well, because I am fucking tired of people constantly proclaiming that someone's informative statement is 'ironic'?
But sure, like that is ever going to happen.
Don't we already have a tag?
"But again, we don't do it so well ourselves, do we?"
Hey, are you being sarcastic!?

Kötu Kedi Serafettin (Lombak #2, 2004)
Bülent Üstün is a Turkish comic artist best known for his comic series 'Kötu Kedi Serafettin' ('Serafettin, the Bad Cat'). Üstün published his first cartoon at age 12 and was subsequently a cartoonist for Çarşaf for a while. He turned professional when he started working for the new magazine Hıbır. He was present in HBR Maymun with the monkey 'Tonguç' and with the cartoon section 'Kabız Kuğu'.
Drawing inspiration from his own cat, Üstün first presented his Serafettin character to the pages of L-Manyak in 1996. The character resembles Gilbert Shelton's 'Fat Freddy's Cat', but then in a more aggressive fashion. The character is present in Lombak magazine since 2001 and throughout the years, Üstün introduced a great many other characters, such as 'L-Manyak Kerizleri', 'Homo Sapiens Öyküleri' and 'Kuduz Doktor Hektor'.
Creations for other magazines include 'Memo Tembelçizer' for L-Manyak Şehitleri, 'Bahadır Boysal' in Taze Kaşar and 'Kenan Yarar' in Hilal. He left Lombak in 2006 to join Femuar and eventually Uykusuz, the magazine for which he created 'Gittin Gideli Bebek'. He is the younger brother of cartoonist Cengiz Üstün.
