- From the Gothamist Newsmap: An overturned vehicle on the southbound Deegan Expy just south of the Cross Bronx Expressway, a suspicious package at Penn Station and a floater near Rikers Island off Queens.
- Closing arguments are expected in the trial of Nixzmary Brown's mother, who is charged with the 7-year-old death in 2006.
- An in-depth interview with the retired cop who is suing the city over another cop "accidentally" shooting him in the back and causing spinal damage.
- An off-duty EMT helped a cop rescue man trapped in his drowning SUV in Cold Spring Harbor. The driver, who was done fishing, was pulling his boat out of the water when he blacked out.
- A Hartford Courant columnist is sad that Gossip Girl--like the Gilmore Girls before it--didn't shoot its Yale scenes at Yale (Columbia stood in!).
- An off-duty cop holding a Sweet 16 for his daughter in Tarrytown had to, uh, call the cops when a fight broke out--up to 200 people were brawling. There was also gunfire.
- Jesus, is Ringo Starr cranky! He says he doesn't want his fans to write to him anymore and if they do, "It's going to be tossed."
- Finally, on the other side of the country, a section of San Francisco was shut down due to a bomb threat--because a man was angry he didn't get to be a contestant on the press conference.





"doesn't want his fans to write to him"
Wow. Neither of them?
Just ignore the fanmail Ringo, no need to be a prick about it.
Ringo is great, he is also very cranky throughout The Beatles Anthology doc.
I am sad, however, that this new policy is exactly the opposite of what was depicted on the Simpsons. I feel like I was lied to, by somebody.
Ringo is so busy... doing... ??
