Deadly Harlem Intersection Continues To Lack Crossing Guard

Deadly Harlem Intersection Continues To Lack Crossing Guard

The Harlem intersection where a 6-year-old boy was killed walking to school last February is routinely without an NYPD crossing guard. According to the Post, the crosswalks at First Avenue and East 117th Street, an area that is frequented by the kind of tractor trailers that fatally struck Amar Diarrassouba, had no crossing guard to escort children on Thursday. "If we have the manpower to put somebody there, we will. If not, it goes uncovered for the day," a supervisor at the 25th Precinct told a Post source. "Of course, it's dangerous. But I'm down guards in other areas." [ more › ]

A House Democrat with knowledge of the president's plan said that the fix would allow insurance companies to renew plans that do not meet the higher standard of the new health care law for a year for existing policy holders, though they would be required to notify the policy holder of alternative available coverage options, as well any benefits they might lose by staying on their existing, subpar plan.

Fw: Debt and Slavery

Debt and Slavery Editorial of The New York Sun | November 11, 2013 http://www.nysun.com/editorials/debt-and-slavery/88486/ Send Comment Share:   Governor Sarah Palin is in hot water again, this time for likening our national debt to slavery. She did this in a speech Saturday at Iowa. "Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China," she was quoted by the Register in Des Moines as saying. "When that money comes due — and this isn't racist — but it'll be like slavery when that note is due."
