This Guy Really Hates the Plasma Center
The Dispatch has an article in today’s paper about ZLB Plasma Services (i.e. the plasma near Miani’s and Ledo’s on High St.) and the contempt neighbors in the area have for it. I find the article interesting because for the last year I’ve lived all of about 500 feet away from the business.

“F**CK BUSH” Column Lands Student Editor in “DEEP S**T”
As an editor at UWeekly, I like to keep somewhat in the loop on what’s going on in the wide world of collegiate journalism. Today I didn’t have to go looking very far, though, as this story was the most popular article this afternoon on CNN.com:

Idiotic Big Ten Network Ad
Check out this asinine ad for the Big Ten Network that’s currently up on The Lantern homepage.
“ACT NOW OR YOU’LL MISS YOUR OHIO STATE GAMES”
Apparently whoever is doing marketing for the Big Ten Network isn’t very familiar with their scheduling or programming: they only had the rights to air the first two OSU football games […]
If You Don’t Run Into Gordon Gee This Week, You’re Actively Avoiding Him
While E. Gordon Gee is a familiar face to longtime Central Ohio residents, many current students may not be aquainted with the two-time Ohio State University president.
Gee, of course, intends to change that.
In addition to yesterday’s Convocation and Buckeye Bash / Involvement Fair, Gee is expected to pop up just about everywhere he can during […]

So, I went over to the Giant Eagle last night to pick up some stuff and I happen to walk past the magazine/book section- check out what’s on top of the ‘Inspirational Reading’ stand.
