Notice anything amiss with The Week's current Tsarnaev brothers issue? I can't put my finger on it; feeling sort of in the dark.
That's Cameron D'Ambrosio in the photo above, flashing cash that, all told, probably totals $100. An 18-year-old pale goof from Methuen, Massachusetts, "Killa" Cam goes to the local public high school, plays videogames, and harbors rap dreams.

Remember when the New York Post got something wrong about the Boston Marathon bombing? No, not that time. The other time, when they incorrectly called two random young men “persons of interest,” even though both had already been identified by Reddit and other online groups. Now the father of one of the young men is in…
On Monday, federal authorities took a DNA sample from Katherine Russell, the wife of dead Boston bombing suspect Tameralan Tsarnaev. According to the New York Times, the FBI is attempting to determine whether it matches the female DNA found on one of the bombs detonated during the Boston Marathon.
Officials have found female DNA on one of the two explosives used in the Boston Marathon bombing, though they don't know whose it is, or where it came from. Maybe Reddit can blow up a couple photos real big to find out?
Nimer Ead is a 55-year-old design engineer who resides in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He also happens to be Muslim.

Russia recorded a conversation between Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, "vaguely discussing" the concept of Jihad.

Accused marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been transferred from the hospital to Federal Medical Center Devens, a prison equipped to handle inmates who require medical care.
The man carjacked by the Tsarnaev brothers last Thursday spoke to the Boston Globe about the ordeal and his daring escape: Danny thought about his burgeoning startup and about a girl he secretly liked in New York. “I think, ‘Oh my god, I have no chance to meet you again,’” he recalled.
In a press conference this afternoon, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly revealed that the Boston bombers were on their way to detonate more explosives in Times Square before being confronted and stopped by Boston-area police.
Up until last week, "One Direction Infection," a Tumblr blog created and maintained by an eighth grader we'll call Claire, looked like any other 14-year-old's Tumblr: a bright pink background, a default font that resembles cute handwriting, an embedded MP3 player playing Daddy Yankee and Jesse McCartney, and scores of…
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reportedly confessed and explained to the FBI how he and his brother carried out last week's Boston bombings, but he did so in the 16 hours of questioning before he was read his Miranda rights. Tsarnaev stopped cooperating once those rights were read to him, according to officials.
Officials are now saying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was unarmed when police captured him inside a boat Friday night. Authorities initially claimed police had exchanged gunfire with Tsarnaev for up to an hour before his arrest.
U.S. officials tell the Washington Post that the CIA wanted one of the Boston bombing suspects' names added to a terrorist watch list more than a year before the attack.
