  • Former police commissioner Bernard Kerik's lawyers are trying to appeal the revocation of his bail.
  • Not so fast, housing sales recovery—the Times worries, "Artificially low interest rates and a government tax credit are luring buyers, but both those inducements are scheduled to end. Defaults and distress sales are rising in the middle and upper price ranges."
  • The NJ pastor, allegedly killed by the parish's janitor, may have told the janitor he would be laid off because he didn't pass a background check.
  • An elementary school student is being forced to take test prep instead of dance because her reading scores only meet her grade requirement (she scored above the requirement on math).
  • Someone stole $2,000 of lamb from an unattended food delivery truck on Columbus Avenue.
  • A tenant upset about having to pay a month's rent and security deposit for breaking his lease dropped off some shit to the leasing office.
  • The professor who founded pop culture studies died at age 87: "I’ve been criticized for three things. Wasting taxpayer money, embarrassing my colleagues and corrupting youth."

NOooo! That lamb I'm sure would've been delicious.

From the NYPD daily blotter - an 12 year old has an iPhone, are you kidding me!??????? WTF

RE the kid who has to take test prep classes, wow seriously? The parents are upset she can't take dance class? Let's try to get our priorities straight and act like parents, shall we?
