It’s Saturday Afternoon and the world is waiting for you.  Actually, you can read this later than Saturday Afternoon, most of the details will still be good.  A massive earthquake strikes crowded China, a famous Aussie is in trouble with the law, and it turns out people had a really, really good reason to be scared of the dentist in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The death toll is rapidly rising from a powerful earthquake in the western Chinese Province of Sichuan.  At least 72 people are dead and hundreds if not thousands are injured. The United States Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 6.6, in the same area as the horrible 2008 quake that killed 70,000 people.

A 5-year old girl in Delhi is in critical condition and fighting for her life after a 2-day kidnap and rape ordeal.  The details are beyond disgusting, and we’ll spare you them here.  It’s the latest shocking sex crime that has India reexamining its laws and social mores.  Examine them faster, guys.

As assumed by many after the initial reports, it turns out the 83-year old entertainer questioned by British Police in a sex crimes probe is Rolf Harris.  He was arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police’s “Operation Yewtree” about sex offences going back for decades.  Rolf is free on bail pending further inquiries.  Now that it's out, Rolf's TV shows (Animal Clinic, Olive The Ostrich) have been pulled off the air.

A French family has been freed from Boko Haram Islamic militant kidnappers in Cameroon.  Paris denies any ransom was paid.  The three adults and four children are reportedly in good condition, appear to be much thinner than when they were displayed in a Boko Haram propaganda video, and will be flown to France this weekend.  The Moulin-Fournier was in Cameroon because the dad worked for an Oil Company there.

It’s been a rough inauguration day for President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela.  The national election council will grant his opponent Enrique Capriles an audit of last Sunday’s election that gave Maduro a very narrow victory.  But even though it is stopping short of a full recount, and audit might provide enough doubt to overturn the election results.  During his swearing in, a man in a red coat rushed the stage and pushed Maduro, only to be hustled away by security guards.  Maduro is supported by most of his neighboring chief executives in Latin America, most of whom attended the ceremony.

You can run but you can’t hide, Pervez Musharraf.  The former Pakistani military ruler was arrested on treason charges a day after fleeing the Supreme Court building when the order came from the high court justices.  They’re still stinging from his clash with them in 2007, stripping their power and declaring a national emergency.  They got it back and now he’s busted.

The leader of Italy's center-left alliance is quitting. Pier Luigi Bersani has promised to step down once parliament elects a new president.  The country has been under a caretaker government ever since elections denied Bersani a clear majority in both houses of Parliament.  His centre-left, the right, and the insurgent anti-establishment Five Star Movement have been unable to form a government.

It turns out that dozens of patients at least have gotten sick because of America’s filthiest dentist in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Dr. Scott Harrington didn’t sterilize his tools between low-income clients, and spread hepatitis and HIV to several dozen people.  The first half of 7,000 patients were tested: 57 were positive for hepatitis C, three were positive for hepatitis B and “less than three″ tested positive for HIV.  He’s already surrendered his dental license.  Harrington and his assistants each face up to four years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
