text: A hip-hop talent search that drew more than 2,000 contestants to Times Square yesterday morning led to four arrests for disorderly conduct and minor injuries to two police officers, the police said. The contestants waited overnight for auditions to be conducted by MTV, with a recording contract and $25,000 offered as prizes. The police said it was a larger crowd than anticipated. Jannie Kedas, an MTV spokeswoman, which has its studios in Times Square, said the auditions would be rescheduled.

Coalition urges approval of a farm subsidy
'Fiscal cliff' pact likely vehicle
A bipartisan coalition of senators representing almost a third of the chamber is pressing party leaders to include a long-delayed farm subsidy and food stamp bill in any overall package to avoid the looming "fiscal cliff."
Twenty-three Democrats, nine Republicans and an independent last week sent a joint letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, urging the pair to immediately take up the five-year, $500 billion "farm bill" the Senate approved in June.
"With each passing day, the difficulty of enacting a farm bill before the end of this Congress grows," the senators wrote. "Congress must do the responsible thing and pass a full, five-year reform farm bill. Accordingly, we urge you to consider folding in the Senate's strong bipartisan bill in any end-of-year package."
Supporters of the move say farm bill savings could be used to help mitigate potential damage to the economy if expiring George W. Bush-era tax breaks and cuts to defense and domestic programs kick in as scheduled early next month — a scenario dubbed the fiscal cliff.
But farm bill critics, who view the multiyear subsidy package as among the most egregious examples of federal pork, are pushing back at the idea of slipping such a measure — or even components of one — into any larger deficit-reduction legislation.
"It would [be] unconscionable for our nation's leaders to bypass the House and attach a $1 trillion farm bill to legislation designed to right the nation's finances," said Scott Faber, vice president of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group, a Washington nonprofit that advocates for health, environmental and government subsidy reforms.
"At a time when our nation's leaders are asking ordinary Americans to contribute to deficit reduction, it is simply shocking that same bill, the fiscal cliff bill, might even give more subsidies to farm millionaires and might further expose taxpayers to liability for farm payments," he said.
A coalition of fiscally conservative groups also this month sent Congress a letter urging against such action, saying "budget gimmicks and back room legislating is part of what got the country into this fiscal mess."
"Taxpayers deserve a simple and transparent solution to the fiscal cliff, not a bloated, over priced farm bill," said the letter, which was sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, Americans for Tax Reform, FreedomWorks, and Taxpayers for Common Sense, among other groups.
While the 2008 farm bill expired at the end of September without a replacement, coverage for most programs extends throughout the 2012 crop year. Some agriculture programs, such as crop insurance, also have continued under a separate authorization.
And funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP — formerly known as food stamps and which typically is a part of farm bills — was included in a six-month stopgap bill to fund the federal government that Congress passed in September.
But as the 2012 harvest rolls to an end, farmers and ranchers are gearing up for the 2013 crop season. In some parts of the country farmers already have seeded their 2013 winter wheat.
Dairy farmers say they are already feeling a pinch, as the Department of Agriculture's Milk Income Loss Contract Program, which compensates dairy producers when domestic milk prices fall below a specified level, expired after Sept. 30.
The bipartisan Senate bill would trim an estimated $23 billion in agricultural subsidies, land-conservation spending and other programs over the next decade, compared with the most recent farm bill.
The Republican-controlled House rejected the Senate measure and has failed to pass their own farm bill. The House Agriculture Committee in July passed a version that calls for $35 billion in savings, though partisan and intraparty bickering have prevented it from receiving a full floor vote.
Both proposals call for cuts to the $80 billion-a-year SNAP initiative.

Greensburg —
Decatur County Memorial Hospital (DCMH) is currently in "desperate need of volunteers," according to DCMH Director of Community Relations David Fry.
In a chat with the Daily News Friday afternoon, Fry said that this time of year is normally slow in regards to attracting volunteers, and 2013 is no exception.
"Many of our volunteers are retirees and seniors," Fry explained. "When cold weather sets in, they go to Florida for the season, which seriously depletes our volunteer workforce."
Fry emphasized that people in the community will likely be surprised to learn the diversity of volunteer opportunities available at DCMH.
"Many people assume there are only certain types of opportunities available to which they can contribute their time to the hospital," Fry said. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
Volunteers can choose from a range of possible assignments — from jobs at a desk in marketing to jobs whose duties include helping patients in the Cancer Unit complete paperwork and navigate the hospital. There are also opportunities in landscaping and certain special projects and off-campus events, such as DCMH's yearly Health Fairs in Westport and Greensburg. The hospital also frequently needs help with mailings.
"We'd like to start a hospital 'concierge' service, too," Fry said, adding that such a service probably wouldn't include more traditional aspects like valet parking. Rather, the functions of a DCMH concierge would involve more-practical functions such as helping patients from the car into the hospital or vice versa, and helping patients keep track of children — among others.
"Of course, such a service would be staffed by volunteers," Fry added. "These workers would be extremely important in helping improve patient experience and allowing us to be more proactive as a facility in addressing the needs of our clients."
While the concierge service is an idea in the planning stages, there are plenty of departments who need volunteers now, Fry said.
"We have a transport desk at the back of the hospital with volunteers who welcome patients," he added.
The director also mentioned volunteers who perform various functions on the hospital's Surgical Unit and those who work in the DCMH Gift Shop.
"All gift shop profits are channeled back into DCMH special projects," Fry said. "So volunteering there provides extra benefits to the hospital."
As examples of items purchased through gift shop profits, Fry mentioned new lead aprons purchased for the Radiology Department and emergency defibrillators at various spots around the hospital.
Fry emphasized, too, that volunteers can basically set their own schedules.
"We're very flexible with scheduling," he said. "We have volunteers who work once weekly, some who work several days a week, others who work just once a month and every schedule in between. We work really hard to fit our volunteers' schedules as opposed to the other way around."
Although volunteer time isn't tax deductible, mileage to and from the hospital or volunteer site can be claimed on taxes.
Fry also welcomed groups to call about volunteer opportunities.
"We work with church groups quite a bit," he said, "and sometimes school groups. We encourage churches and schools to call us; we can certainly find something for you to help us with."
For more information on volunteer opportunities with DCMH, call David Fry at 663-1220 or call DCMH Volunteer Services Coordinator Vicki Rudolph at 663-1220.

Anyone Outside the Big 4?
The so-called Big 4 of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have combined to win 33 of the past 34 Grand Slam titles, a stretch that began in 2005. Is there any chance anyone else breaks through at this tournament? Any discussion of other contenders must begin with the guy who kept it from being 34 of 34 — Juan Martin del Potro, the 6-foot-6 Argentine with the booming forehand who surprised Federer in five sets in the 2009 U.S. Open final. Another big hitter to keep an eye on? No. 5 Tomas Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up, although consistency is not his strong suit.

An Introduction to Theory and Models of CMEs, Shocks, and Solar Energetic Particles
Authors: Mikić, Z.; Lee, M.
Source: Space Science Reviews, Volume 123, Numbers 1-3, March 2006 , pp. 57-80(24)
Publisher: Springer
We present a brief introduction to the essential physics of coronal mass ejections as well as a review of theory and models of CME initiation, solar energetic particle (SEP) acceleration, and shock propagation. A brief review of the history of CME models demonstrates steady progress toward an understanding of CME initiation, but it is clear that the question of what initiates CMEs has still not been solved. For illustration, we focus on the flux cancellation model and the breakout model. We contrast the similarities and differences between these models, and we examine how their essential features compare with observations. We review the generation of shocks by CMEs. We also outline the theoretical ideas behind the origin of a gradual SEP event at the evolving CME-driven coronal/interplanetary shock and the origin of "impulsive" SEP events at flare sites of magnetic reconnection below CMEs. We argue that future developments in models require focused study of "campaign events" to best utilize the wealth of available CME and SEP observations.Document Type: Research Article

Medicom Toy's BE@RBRICK has come with a nice string of hits in the last year, including a bold collab with Mishka on a Keep Watch figurine earlier this month and now with a classic Polka Dot release, both of which further prove that the 11 year old brand is still only warming up. Hitting the stores on April 28, this Bearbrick wears a black and white polka dot pattern throughout save for white on its hands, feet, and large chest print and comes in both the 100% size or its larger cousin, the 400%. This figure is scheduled to drop on Saturday, April 28, at Project 1/6 and select MEDICOM TOY accounts around the globe.

Reviews for The Rotar |
Mendai Decovrii chapter 1 . 12/8/2013 What? I'm not the only one who was ever terrified I would bite the end off the thermometer? I feel so much less silly now ;) This is sweet adorable fluff and it makes me happy. :D |
Headoverheels14 chapter 1 . 1/2/2013 Super cute! I loved it! |
mngrue chapter 1 . 1/1/2013 Very sweet. |
zekeschance chapter 1 . 11/27/2012 Awww, I loved this! So cute, funny and fluffy! You painted a picture of their childhood that was so real and down to earth. Loved the interaction between the boys and I liked Jenny too. Thanks so much! |
becca-baby chapter 1 . 11/18/2012 bravo bravo please right more! can you check out emilyhenderson99? she's an awesome writer, just like you, and im trying to get her to write supernatural stories! she's super-sweet too. and she loves sick-fics so im sure if you told her about this story she'd read it! becca-baby |
luvjacobtwilight chapter 1 . 9/13/2012 when you wrote "im sick" you should have slurred it writing "'m s'k" duh! and when ever Sammy talked, because he was sick with a fever, you should have given a slight slur to as well but besides that good nice story |
Ginnylove9990 chapter 1 . 11/13/2011 This one is so sweet. I loved it. Please keep up the great work. |
Dassy1407 chapter 1 . 5/9/2010 Aw, that was cute. :) Miss Dassy |
ziggy.uk chapter 1 . 3/11/2010 Loved this, and great that you didn't go down the predictable route with Sammy being freaked out by a clown! Could so imagine him not feeling well and not wanting to ride the Rotar but not wanting to ruin Dean's evening so doing so. And understandable he would take himself off to be sick, not wanting to put a damper on Dean's date. Loved Dean in big brother mode, concerned and taking care of his sick little brother, and the piggy-back was perfect and just so Dean he demanded Sam not to puke! Perfect ending Sam falling asleep against Dean, sick with the flu, not from the ride, and imagine Dean will manage to get some sleep too. And great banter throughout, totally brotherly and believable, especially the comment about the thermometer! A really great read, thanks |
doyleshuny chapter 1 . 10/29/2009 AW That was sweet! I can totally feel Sammy and Deans pain on that! I took my little brother Jacob to to a carnival and my by friend and I took him on a ride and the poor little thing hurled all over my ex boyfriend. Good shot cause the guy was a jerk! Anyway that was so sweet. I so love Sammy and Dean! The brothers rock! GREAT JOB! |
CiZiwejes chapter 1 . 9/26/2009 Aww...I just love a story where Dean was being an awesome big brother. The piggy back ride, it was just adorable! And I especially love the banters between the brothers that you poured in here, it felt so real and so alive. Love this so much! After all, you finally answered the question that had been hovering my mind. How they started the bitch-jerk naming? Cool thought! |
Visionairy chapter 1 . 8/12/2009 I really loved this story! I couldn't review it at the time, but I read it a few days ago, and didn't want to forget to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I could really identify with both young Sam and young Dean in this story, especially Sam knowing he'd be sick but wanting to be nice to Dean and also not wanting Dean to think he was a wimp. (Yep, my brother talked me into riding the spinning ride with him, for basically the same reasons when I was a kid and I almost embarrassed myself all over the ride. He stopped me from throwing up part-way thru, by just saying in a very Dean-like voice, "Don't ...you ... DARE." It worked.) My favorite line was, "You over-tutor." That was great! My favorite part of the story was when Dean found Sam behind the trailer - you did such a great job of describing Dean's gentle actions with Sam after he said, "Dean, I'm sorry. I ruined your date." "Dean took a breath, bowed his head, looked me sternly in the eyes and said, "Curfew, Sam, not you. Not you," Dean repeated louder, dabbing at my eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. "Listen, let's get you back to the motel. Sound good?" Yes - the whole story sounded good! On to the next one. |
DontKnowMyName chapter 1 . 8/7/2009 Very cute! I absolutely LOVE the idea of Dean giving Sam a piggy back right, I was so excited to read that lol. Great story! ) |
mousefiction chapter 1 . 8/3/2009 This is one of the best fics I have read. You are an excellent writer, and you have Sam and Dean in character. Great Job. |
DeansBabyBird chapter 1 . 7/31/2009 Hey Karen. I thought I'd come have a read of some of your other stories, I liked your drabble so much and this was the first on the list. I like it. The boys sound like the boys i know and love and you have a nice degree of need and comfort between them. I like your dialogue. It's snappy and sharp and witty. Tagging you as a fav. Bev xx |

Vargas Gives Birth, Begins Maternity Leave
ABC news personality Elizabeth Vargas gave birth to a 7-lbs., 9 oz. baby boy Wednesday. ABC said previously that she would take a 9-12 week maternity leave. The impending birth of the child was cited as the official reason that Vargas was removed as anchor of ABC's World News Tonight (now simply called World News) and replaced by Charles Gibson. Vargas also co-hosts ABC's Friday-night news magazine 20/20 with John Stossel. The network has not indicated whether she will temporarily be replaced on that show or whether Stossel will host it on his own while Vargas is absent. She is married to singer/songwriter Marc Cohn, best known for his 1991 hit "Walking in Memphis."

ABSTRACT: To design a "mechano-active" small-diameter artificial vascular graft, a tubular scaffold made of elastomeric poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) fabrics at different wall thicknesses was fabricated using an electrospinning (ELSP) technique. The wall thickness of the fabricated tube (inner diameter; approximately 2.3-2.5 mm and wall thickness; 50-340 microm) increased proportionally with ELSP time. The wall thickness dependence of mechanical responses including intraluminal pressure-induced inflation was determined under static and dynamic flow conditions. From the compliance-related parameters (stiffness parameter and diameter compliance) measured under static condition, the smaller the wall thickness, the more compliant the tube. Under dynamic flow condition (1 Hz, maximal/minimal pressure of 90 mmHg/45 mmHg) produced by a custom-designed arterial circulatory system, strain, defined as the relative increase in diameter per pulse, increased with the decrease in wall thickness, which approached that of a native artery. Thus, a mechano-active scaffold that pulsates synchronously by responding to pulsatile flow was prepared using elastomeric PLCL as a base material and an ELSP technique.Biomaterials 04/2006; 27(8):1470-8. · 7.60 Impact Factor

Huge moves up in the yield of Greek paper and a growing concern about other EU members and their ability to grow out of large budget deficits has investors thinking twice.
One of the key players in trying to work out a solution is Germany, and I spoke with Axel Weber, President of Germany's central bank, the Deutsche Bundesbank.
Greece's embattled Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou is confident that his European peers will cough up to rescue his country from a debt default. The question is why?
With Greek debt continuing to soar at record levels, there is growing concern in some European markets that they too will soon face the same problems.

Hey i'm still pretty new to the game and before i spend my hard earned points on an assortment of runes I was just curious what some other people did with theirs I usually play physical damage builds but I'm also interested in tanking and caster builds thx
For physical classes I run ArP marks, Dodge seals, flat cdr glyphs, hp quints. Caster I run magic pen marks, scaling mp5 seals, flat cdr glyphs and hp quints. Best option all around IMO. Some people prefer diff rune setups for certain champs like Tryn or WW like crit runes or attack speed.
