From the Gothamist Newsmap: a bank robbery on E 42nd St in Manhattan, a home invasion on Clifton Ave in Staten Island and a fall victim on Katonah Ave and E 236th St in the Bronx.

President Obama rescinded the Bush administration’s limits on federal funding for stem cell research and chided his predecessor for putting politics ahead of science.
Most people putting up street fliers are looking for lost pets or apartments. This poor guy is in search of a kidney. Any B or O blood types in the house?
The NY State Senate's Democratic majority intends to have a budget resolution by the end of the week, but apparently it doesn't even have a finance secretary?
Poly Prep's production of The Producers will be the most-expensive community theater production ever in Brooklyn.
The Blender Theater at Gramercy is going back to plain ol' unsponsored Gramercy Theater—not that anyone ever used the Blender part anyway.

Great hot dog story. I love the word Alternative schools. Is that like a stepping stone to the big house? With a name like Tyshiune Haskins one has to know his future without being a Romanian fortune teller. Why were they stealing guns, to put food on there table because their fathers were out of work? Take individuals like this and just landfill the mofos. They will never ever ever be a part of the recovery plan set up by Obama.

Is there any lottery that pays-out its prizes in YUAN?

Because what's the use of winning a bunch of DOLLARS when I can easily get GREEN TOILET PAPER elsewhere when I need?

The Chinese own so much US debt that the Yuan will be pegged to the dollar for the next 20 years, so a lottery in USD and Yuan are basically the same.

That's the most sensible thing I've heard come out of an Olsen twin.
