In an effort to boost up security and prevent an attack on New York City subways, the NYPD will dispatch over two dozen German shepherd dogs to guard subway stations and sniff out explosives. The dogs are currently being trained to perform the task, which will include rescue operations, in searching for victims in case of an attack.

It's a great way to keep on the offensive on the war on terror, a far cry from the unorganized bag search the NYPD implemented. Additionally, 34 more dogs will be performing similar duties on the street. We're also approaching the 5th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, which is more reason to take a serious approach.


The City Council sided with Mayor Bloomberg in his Trash disposal plan. The plan calls for the construction of four marine transfer stations, eliminating the use of hundreds of garbage trucks and eliminating an estimated 3.5 million miles a year driven by garbage trucks. Also included in the plan is the development of a new major recycling center on a pier on the Hudson River Park in Manhattan near Gansevoort Street. The new plan seems very solid, and could possibly work, it also makes each borough responsible for its own trash. The down side is that this new cleaner system raises the cost of disposing of our garbage to $107 per ton from $77...and also sounds like this could eliminate ALOT of jobs, though they may keep people, it would be a huge change.

More GREAT news for New York! The IRS has approved of New York City's plan to grant $1.5 billion of tax-exempt bonds for the New York Yankees and Mets to build new stadiums.

The kids will begin drawing in September and the paintings will run thru 2007.
