Do a Google image search for ” Obama lift ” right now. You’ll find literally dozens of photos taken during pizza shop owner Scott Van Duzer’s now famous bear hug of President Obama a few days ago. This event wasn’t exactly staged, but it wasn’t entirely candid either. Journalists from around the world were present during the “big [...] -

Awesome subject. Love his story. Also love how you brought in his music video. I think it would be nice to tighten the whole thing up to about 2:00 minutes. It’d also be nice to just focus on his dichotomy as a man in two different worlds, what that means to him, why he did [...]

The sport began as a favorite off-season training activity for Tour de France riders nearly 100 years ago, and has since become a national pastime in several European countries.

Understanding job growth is a tricky business. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes dozens of quarterly projections, but few statistics are reviewed by national media. Virtually all of the annual job growth numbers are based on the time-tested non-farm payroll statistics. Non-farm payroll stats are nice for understanding broad national trends, but what about all of the jobs [...] -

The pizza is good. Damn good. As the Italians moved out of the neighborhood, all the other pizza shops closed down. Original [...]

Sometimes we forget that CUNY Journalism School is plopped down right in the middle of the biggest tourist attraction in the world. Like so many of my colleagues, I often block out the existence of all those pasty Middle Americans. Every once in a while, it is nice to remember that they are actually people. [...]

Several hundred members of the Colorbred Canary Club met at St. Jude Church in Canarsie on October 1 st for the 12 th Annual Canary Competition.

New York City transportation bloggers and tweeters have been absolutely titillated over the past few days by the announcement that the four boroughs (sorry, Staten Island) will be getting a new bike share system next summer. The city has decided to partner with Alta Bicycle Share based in Portland, Oregon to create the system. Mayor Bloomberg argues [...]

You’re broke. You’re bored. You surf the internet endlessly looking for that miracle job that nobody else found. Most likely, that’s how you ended up here. When it comes to making ends meet, most folks aren’t willing to cobble together piecemeal work and scramble for nickels. But if you are, here are some (legal) methods [...]

President Barack Obama will be addressing the country tonight on what will most likely be a pretty awful jobs outlook. Growth is stagnant and some are speculating that the Great Recession is about to take a double dip into the red. Miraculously, the nonprofit sector has seemingly bucked the national trend. Idealist.org, the largest nonprofit [...]
