The New York Knicks have been one of the worst NBA teams of the decade - hopefully the start of a new decade will bring better fortune. The last season the Knicks finished with a winning record was 00'-01' going 48-34. The Knicks hit bottom in 05'-06' with a 23-59 record.

With contracts the size of the GDP for a small country, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and C.C. Sabathia have all established themselves as the prominent Yankees that get most of the media attention.  Certainly their efforts last season were instrumental in taking down the World Series ring that the Steinbrenners have wanted so desperately in recent years.  But with some of the big names in New York getting off to a slow start in 2010, it's been second baseman Robinson Cano who has turned some heads, pointing out that he could be a potential MVP –type who has all the skills to be one of the best players in the game. Though Cano has hopefully been well-known to Yankee fans over the...

pr 27, 2010 – The case of People v. S.D. in New York County should simply not have been brought. The client was stopped at a checkpoint and asked if she had been drinking. She had not been. Nevertheless, the police officer in question asked her to step out of the car and take a breathelyzer. She complied. She was then placed under arrest. The officer than transported her to a police station where she was given another breathelyzer. The results of this test came back 0.0. This did not satisfy the police officer. He asked the client to take a urine test. Feeling uneasy, the client declined, and she was charged with DUI DWI.  "This is one of the most outlandish cases I have seen in my 10 years of...

Wall Street is one of the most famous streets in the world and is also one of the nation's, and perhaps the world's, most symbolic. It represents not only the New York Stock market and financial district that is literally associated with it, but also the overall national economic system and well-being of this country. And since the economic systems of countries across the world are connected and interdependent, what happens on Wall Street affects the economic systems of the world. It's really amazing to consider the symbolic significance of this one little street in Lower Manhattan that extends from Broadway to South Street along the East River. The name of this famous street was derived from the...

Many years ago I was an avid student of Karate. I had studied different styles until I happened upon American Kenpo. I thought it was a perfect blend of offensive and defensive moves because it embraced a pragmatic philosophy. It was Karate for the little guy. It was Karate in a phonebooth. You were up close and personal with not a lot of the high and hard kicks of Tae Kwon Do. Kenpo said, "do not bring your foot to their face, instead bring their face down to your foot." Stomping on feet, toes, and shins naturally bent and brought bigger (taller) people down. Then they were nicely positioned to hit, punch, and strike. In other words knock-em off at the knees. Aiming low (hitting below the belt) was...

My typical day begins something like this, "Hi, I got arrested for a DWI last night?" and my response is usually, "let me ask you a few questions first to help give you some guidance and direction."  The reason for my first couple of questions is to tell me exactly what "type" of DWI case we are dealing with. DWIs like people come in different shapes, sizes, and packages. DWIs can be:   1. With or without a traffic stop, ie. maybe the police were called to the scene to investigate an accident, or a person asleep behind the wheel, or a BOLO (be on the lookout) for an erratic driver, called in from a tip 2. With or without a breath test (the chemical test back at the police station or barracks) 3...

One word describes the CD Back In New York from Scott Hamilton... AWESOME! Scott Hamilton has been a super star in the Jazz genre for quite a while now and Back In New York is an excellent illustration as to why. Back In New York is a pleasantly varied, mix of 1 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard. Overall Back In New York is an outstanding release. What I call...

More and more states, counties and cities are passing laws to help people facing foreclosure save their homes. One of the most recent was the state of New York.

This new law expanded the reforms in the original law passed in 2008. The significant provisions of the law are: Lenders must send a 90 day...

We've all seen "I Love New York" t-shirts, mugs, posters, and other branded products, but few people know just where they came from, and even those who do are missing some of the trivia surrounding the slogan. The slogan is old enough that most people can glance at I Love New York t-shirts without wondering just where the brand came from, but at the same time it looks modern enough that we know it can't be more than a few decades old. This intuition about the vintage of I Love New York t-shirts is correct. The origin of the design was in 1977: the Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Department of Commerce, William S. Doyle, knew that New York had incredible potential to attract tourists. At...

A bright smile can lift your spirits and light up your darkest day. On your way to work, when you are busy honking your car horn, stuck in a traffic jam and running late for a meeting, the smile from a fellow driver can go a long way in soothing your frayed nerves. Many a times we have let a mischievous child off the hook, thanks to the lopsided grin that melts our heart! No romantic novel can be written without a reference to the ‘disarming smile’ of the hero that is responsible for stealing the fair maiden’s heart. The references to a winning smile are endless. No wonder in such circumstances a person who has a ‘less than perfect’ smile feels dejected and self conscious. A person with...
