Over the past three years, there have only been three days during which there were no murders, slashing, nor stabbings reported from The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or Staten Island.
In fact, as of Monday NYC has enjoyed more than a week without any homicides reported to NYPD in the five boroughs. Could it be the cold temperatures? February of last year saw the city going through ten straight days without a homicide.
Suspended without pay for six months and some hope he goes away, far far away. After hearing from people who had to work wit him and reading the endless news stories and posts on social media, all that is left to say is Hasta Luego.
There are more important news stories developing all around the world and too much time has been wasted on an individual's ego trip and exaggerated tales gone from bad to worse.
Recently, while speaking with my oldest daughter Natasha, who has three delightful daughters (my grand-kids), I said she drives too fast. She asked me if I was implying that she's not a good driver. On the contrary, she is not only a better driver than me, but women as a whole are much better at many more things than men.
Women drive better than men.
Well this reverses a social myth – that women are bad drivers. Carnegie Mellon University researchers found after analyzing a lot of traffic data in 2007 that men are 77% more likely to die in a car accident than women, keeping the miles driven constant. So next time when your husband asks you to hand over the car keys, just give him this article.

I think we have had enough snow already. Mother Nature, please bring on Spring already. There have been 3 snow storms in the past 3 Mondays to hit the Northeastern US. Boston got hit once again, but winter storm warnings are also in place across the Northeast, including Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
The feathers will grow back with time. However, if there are feather pickers, they will be attracted to the blood-rich pin feathers emerging. This can make it appear that the baldness is permanent.
NBC you later, and arrivederci, Pinocchio... Journalist Mark Twain once said: “If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.”
Americans TV viewers may have been turning towards him, but his colleagues have turned away.

New York City Emergency Management has issued a Travel Advisory for Monday, February 9, 2015. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from midnight tonight until 6 AM Tuesday.
A mix of sleet and rain is expected this evening and will transition to freezing rain after midnight. This wintry mix will continue through Monday evening and will taper off overnight Monday into early Tuesday morning.
Widespread heavy rain is expected to continue across much of the West Coast this weekend. The heaviest rainfall will occur across northern California and southern Oregon, where as much as 6-10 inches of rainfall is forecast over the next two days. While beneficial for this drought-stricken region, the heavy rainfall also poses a threat for flash flooding.
The NYC area should prepare for hazardous weather with slushy days ahead as snow, sleet and rain is expected to continue falling through Monday.
