Yankees Help Bring New Rival for Red Bulls
New York Yankees and Manchester City have teamed up to bring a new professional soccer team to NYC by 2015.
The New York Red Bulls, who call Harrison their home, will not be the only face of professional footy in the metropolitan area for much longer.

James, Why belittle another sport (which I dislike, by the way) in order to make your point? And all my point was that the attempt to market MLS as "major league," given the premiere leagues already in places--a number in Europe--was, to me, a waste of time. Can you go to an MLS game and have a great time and see a competitive, fairly topnotch game? Sure, in the same way you can go see the … more ›
Sandy Hook Coast Guard Base Still Recovering After Hurricane
Housing was damaged and small equipment lost on the Hook, but the base is "fully operational" say authorities.
Despite the unprecedented destruction caused to the 165-year-old Sandy Hook Coast Guard Base brought on by Superstorm Sandy in October, there are no plans to close or relocate the base and it is fully operational, even though it is still recovering from the damage caused by the storm. “The base was able to perform all Coast Guard operations within five days of the storm’s passage,” U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York spokesman Charles W. Rowe said. “ … The recovery is ongoing.” While the overall cost has not yet been fully calculated the Coast Guard estimates it will cost about $30 million to restore all bases in Sector New York. “All buildings in Sandy Hook were damaged to some extent and the Coast Guard is in the process of determining what…

Harmony School Principal Rehired After School Board Reverses Prior Decision
In the face of an outpouring of community support Tuesday night, the Middletown Township Board of Education reversed a prior decision and unanimously rehired Paulson citing "new information."
Harmony Elementary School Principal Erik Paulson will return to school next fall, following a unanimous decision Tuesday night by the Board of Education. On May 13, the board had voted 5-4 to not offer a new contract to the popular admininstrator, who would have received tenure. But in a stunning turn of events very late at the May 21 meeting, the board effectively reversed its prior decision after meeting in closed session. When they emerged around 11:45 p.m., board attorney Christopher Parton made a statement saying that there was some new information brought forth during the closed door session, of which he did not elaborate. Superintendent William O. George announced he wished to amend his evaluation of Paulson to say that he "highly …

"principals the caliber of mr.paulson's being let go for undisclosed reasons wouldnt fall by the wayside." Huh? Dr. George recommended rehiring Erik. That is all he can do, recommend. If he had not been rehired it would not have been on the shoulders of Dr. George. It would have been on the five members of the BOE starting with Joan Minnuies who voted not to vote in support of Dr. George's … more ›

Having worked in bars in my younger days, this is a common practice in many bars, especially ones that are struggling, I wonder if this is a common practice in TGIFridays or are all these on the list owned by the same company?
