- We're ambivalent of most of the never-ending supply of 9/11 memorials out there (i.e., the one in Jersey which includes the names of 40 people who didn't actually die in the attack!), however we adore the Tribute in Light. Sadly, its funding/fate after 2008 is up in the air, as it were. Not good.
- "In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent United State residents - nearly 96,000 - than in any year in the previous two decades." Good.
- Yay! CUNY enrollment has risen for the seventh straight year. It is now the highest it has been since CUNY started charging tuition thirty years ago.
- Careful riding motorcycles folks, there were two separate fatal motorcycle related accidents early this morning in Brooklyn.
- The Staten Island Fire Chief no-likey the NASCAR.
- Speaking of SI, jury selection in the case against a man charged with killing two undercover police officers there in 2003 has been postponed.
- DoE Chancellor Joel Klein says he does have the power to lower class sizes. Uhm, so why don't you Mr. Klein?
- Ugh. The Brooke Astor debacle just keeps on keeping on.
- A hard-working young father who recently graduated from college was struck down yesterday by a No. 2 train. Police are still investigating what happened.
- The epic battle between the NYPD and Bedbugs continues!
- Gothamist History: The Attica Prison riots began 35 years ago today.
- Look, Sleeping kitty!
