Despite the current economy, it has been a great week for New York City. First with the arrival of the USS New York (its an awsome battleship), then Michael Bloomberg won reelection and now the Yankee's won the world series.
Three wonderful events for New York and its not even Thursday yet. Guess Bloomberg will be having that victory parade he promised tomorrow.
Let it be top of with the fact that Bloomberg had the honor of watching the World Series on the USS New York as it sailed from New Orleans to its namesake city.
But why celebrate with an expensive parade. Maybe its better for the Yankees to have a victory party on the USS New York with the servicemen and Mayor Bloomberg. All they will need is 15 kegs and 40 handles to celebrate this achievement.
Call it the biggest party of the year, they have all earned it.Despite the current economy, it has been a great week for New York City. First with... more

CHICAGO: Two veteran Indian community activists, Prof Ghanshyam Pandey and Naren Patel, heading one of the oldest Indian American organizations, the Association of Indians in America, Chicago (AIA) have taken strong exception to Mahatma Gandhi being featured as a baseball hitter for New York Yankees in 1933.
An 11-minute short film titled "Gandhi at the Bat", a faithful recreation of a black and white 1930s-style newsreel showing Gandhi as rookie hitter, is going around in film festivals world over, has won numerous awards, and even played at Baseball Hall of Fame.

NEW YORK — The five skyscrapers were all supposed to rise by early next decade to replace the ravaged World Trade Center, with the city's tallest towers set in a spiral evoking the Statue of Liberty's torch.
They would frame a massive memorial in a tree-filled park, plus a theater and a transportation hub with uplifted wings — one of several symbols intended to defy the terrorists who destroyed the 16-acre site in under two hours.
Standing on the site now — a multi-level labyrinth of concrete and steel, from the entrance resembling the rooftops of an underground city — the sweeping design unveiled 6 1/2 years ago still hasn't materialized.
It's not a pit," Ward said. "Now, it's a sense of rebirth." (-heh-)
Its history is "too sad to even really think about progress," said the 48-year-old Austin, Texas, insurance worker. But "I am a little surprised — I thought there'd be something built there.
When will there be?NEW YORK — The five skyscrapers were all supposed to rise by early next decade to... more
As the eighth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks approaches, the slow pace of construction at Ground Zero in New York is puzzling many people.
A poll found more than half of New Yorkers believe the rebuilding is going badly and more than 60 per cent do not think key parts of the project will be finished on time.
On the ravaged World Trade Centre site, signs of the massive rebuilding effort are finally edging above street level.
The work is hot and hard, but eight years after September 11, workers like carpenter Estelle St Clair are proud of the project.
"Even though I was so devastated then, I felt I didn't participate then when it happened, I feel like I'm participating now to bring us back to where we need to be here in New York and as a country," she said.
Years of cost blowouts and squabbling between the site's owner and developer have slowed down construction.
