- Public Art: Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls Transform New York
  Posted by Jeff from Newsweek
  The buzz on "The New York City Waterfalls" was loud enough that a boatload of reporters chugged out into New York Harbor one recent steamy morning with the installation's artist, Olafur Eliasson, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg for a first, up-close look at the project: four cascades, ranging in height from 90 to 120 feet, installed at sites along the East River. The falls work by an elaborate system that pumps water up from the river, then lets it tumble down a tower of scaffolding.

- An exchange with New York Post reporter on witch-hunt of school principal
  Posted by Sandyenglish

- New York City: steam pipe blast kills 1, injures dozens
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  In what many in the heart of midtown Manhattan initially mistook for a replay of the September 11 terrorist attacks, an aging steam pipe exploded Wednesday, sending a geyser of mud and debris and billowing clouds of steam rising over New York City’s skyscrapers.

- New York Plans Surveillance Veil for Downtown
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  The Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, as the plan is called, will resemble London’s so-called Ring of Steel, an extensive web of cameras and roadblocks designed to detect, track and deter terrorists. British officials said images captured by the cameras helped track suspects after the London subway bombings in 2005 and the car bomb plots last month.

- GOP Convention Papers Ordered Opened
  Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post
  The city had contended that the documents should remain confidential, saying opening them would jeopardize the city's rights to a fair trial. Lawsuits allege that the city violated constitutional rights when it arrested more than 1,800 people at the convention. The judge stayed his ruling for 10 days. Peter Farrell, a city lawyer, said the city is considering an appeal.

- Central Park Calls in the Dogs, Hoping They’ll Drive Out the Geese
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  New York City is using three border collies to solve their Canada Geese problem. It's a refreshing, humane and intelligent article in contrast to Seattle's gassing Green Lake's Canada Geese. Mayor Nickels so badly wants Seattle to become a major metropolitan city...take note Greg. Humane is in.
