  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a shooting on 173rd St. in Manhattan, a robbery/assault on 13th St. in Brooklyn, and an aircraft emergency at JFK airport in Queens.
  • Barnard at Columbia has a new incoming president, snagged from Harvard Business School.
  • Don't miss the Super Bowl sitting in your local precinct's drunk tank. Get your Super Brawling out of the way early the next time someone pipes up about the Patriots.
  • It's not a cross-promotion with the Rambo revival, but those NJ deer drew first blood; they drew first blood. OK, they didn't, but snipers are still going to take them out.
  • Foxy Brown's bid to get out of Rikers early to fix her cochlear implant fell on deaf ears. Foxy says that it was knocked out of whack by a fellow inmate who punched her in the head.
  • Living in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn for only four bills. Whoops, did we say four bills? We meant $4 mills!
  • Another huge casino fire: this one on the East Coast at Foxwoods Resort in CT.
