In a New York court room Monday, a Pakistani-born U.S. citizen, the “Times Square Bomber” pleaded guilty to a 10 count indictment that included a charge to use a weapon of mass destruction.

"We haven't been given a shot, but we're here and I think we're deserving of it," Manning said. "Right now I'm excited as I can be."

Eli Manning continued his mistake-free streak as he went 21 for 40 with 254 yards passing, including ... (more)

The Heart Of Africa In The Heart Of New York City

...in the Joyce Theatre that night, as these 22 members who have lost so much are still able to look toward a brighter day as they bring smiles and cheer from people all across America as their share their talents and their continued success.

The soulful singing, vibrant dance moves and powerful music all came together to create a spectacular performance unprecedented by anything else I have ever seen. Although the show has already left New York, I know hundreds of more concert-goers throughout the country will enjoy this unique contemporary work of art as much as I have.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye Beavers Have Returned to New York City!

After a 200 year absence, it was reported this week that beavers, which grace New York City’s official seal, have returned to the Big Apple.
