IDNYC

Images

IDNYC is the new, free identification card for all New York City residents, which gives all of us the opportunity to show who we are—New Yorkers. As a government-issued photo identification card, IDNYC secures the peace of mind and access to City services that come from having recognized identification. IDNYC benefits every city resident, including the most vulnerable communities—the homeless, youth, the elderly, undocumented immigrants, the formerly incarcerated and others who may have difficulty obtaining other government-issued ID.

Booze not necessary

I personally know a few casual and other regular drinkers, where on any given 24 hour cycle they might have a few drinks. But after my divorce to a woman who drank, when it came to dating, I would eventually learn that I preferred gals who were teetotalers.

What's Up With That?

When terrorists in Paris killed 12 people and injured as many, the international media went into overdrive to report this news story non stop... Why is there limited news coverage about the 2,000 feared killed in the deadliest Boko Haram attack in Nigeria?

Cold time in the city... An area of disturbed weather, currently in Texas, is expected to move northeast during the day on Sunday. As it does, it will encounter colder air which will cause wintry precipitation to be possible. Areas in northeast Texas and Arkansas will begin to see impacts on Sunday morning.

Areas further north and east, in southern Indiana and southern Ohio, will receive precipitation by Sunday evening.

Boco Haram Massacre

Thousands are said to have been executed in a Boko Haram attack. Refugees in Nigeria fleeing from another attack by the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram have spoken about civilian deaths and scores of houses destroyed in an already hard-hit region.

The militants reportedly opened fire on northern Nigerian villages, leaving bodies scattered everywhere and as many as 2,000 people feared dead.

Stop and Risk?

A proposed bill which is supported by half of NYC Council members that would reportedly require:

The police to gain permission, in audio or in writing, before a suspect or the vehicle of a suspect can be searched. That permission could be rescinded at any time during the search.

That the police officer, when seeking permission of the suspect, can only do so in a language understood by the suspect.
