New York, Nov. 28: New York City police have stepped up patrols in the city''s subways and trains after the federal government warned of a potential Al Qaeda attack during the holidays.
The potential threat — described in an internal FBI memo as "plausible but unsubstantiated" — does not extend beyond the New York City area, sources told FOX News.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne was quoted by Fox News as saying that the police have received the report and have "deployed additional resources in the mass transit system."
A person briefed on the matter, said the threat might also be directed at the passenger rail lines running through New York, such as Amtrak and the Long Island Rail Road.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27 -- The executive editor of D. C. Comics says the Caped Crusader is not dead, despite the title of its latest issue, "Batman, R. I. P.: Conclusion."
"He's not dead, though he'll definitely be gone for a while," Dan DiDio told the New York Daily News. "Batman and (alter ego) Bruce Wayne have been here long before me and they'll be around long after me."
The Daily News pointed out this is not the first time a superhero has appeared to meet his end. D. C. Comics killed off Superman in 1992, but later brought him back. Marvel Comics whacked Captain America, who has yet to make a comeback.
New York, Nov 27 : A new keyboard called ‘Keyboard for Blondes’ has been developed with keys that have ‘Smart Blonde Button’ and ‘Somewhat Useless Key’, written on them.
The keyboard, which comes in a bubblegum-pink colour and is priced at 50 dollars, can even talk back and has funny titles for boring keystrokes like, “I need my space” bar.
The best features, however, are the keys dedicated to 100-times-a-day texts like “OMG,” “LOL” or “ZZZD,” which is girl-speak for boring date.
“It’s pink? That''s great,” the New York Daily News quoted blonde Samantha Dubin, 34, as saying wryly.
New York, Nov. 27: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a warning of a possible Al Qaeda-orchestrated terror plot against New York City subway and other transit systems during the holidays.
According to a Fox News report, an internal FBI memo warned that such an attack is "plausible but unsubstantiated".
A person briefed on the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the intelligence-gathering work, said the threat may also be directed at the passenger rail lines running through New York, such as Amtrak and the Long Island Rail Road.
New York - A large US fitness studio chain is attracting members with a full cinema experience in its studios.
Instead of comfortable plush seats, treadmills are installed in the studio's Cardio Cinema areas, which are dark, just like regular cinemas. While exercising, members can watch movies such as Superman Returns or The Love Guru on a large screen. The programme changes daily, but for health reasons, no popcorn is served.
New York - Instead of blowing their money in the New York Stock Exchange, Americans can now invest in the careers of models in the hope that they will someday become a top star on the catwalk.
