A dissident investor group that is now the largest shareholder in The New York Times Co (NYT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday it was disappointed in a board slate recommended by the publisher and was preparing a proxy battle.The group, comprised of hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners and investment firm Firebrand Partners, disclosed in regulatory filings on Thursday that it had increased its stake in the Times to 15.6 percent from about 12 percent.The Times said it was still reviewing the investor group's four board nominees, but in a preliminary proxy filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, it recommended that shareholders vote for its own slate of directors.Times Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr said in the filing that the board "urges you not to sign or return any proxy card that you may receive from Harbinger."Firebrand and Harbinger's increased holding makes it the largest public shareholder of the New York Times and International Herald Tribune publisher.
I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it but here is Lindsay Lohan naked and topless for New York Magazine posing as Marilyn Monroe in “The Last Sitting” photoshoot.

That said, enjoy one of the most amazing posts ever.

New details in the bizarre case of the murder of a New york therapist by a meat cleaver-wielding lunatic have emerged including the strange items left behind by the killer. Sources say police discovered knives, rope, duct tape, women’s clothing and adult diapers abandoned by the pudgy-faced murderer after he slaughtered 57-year-old Kathryn Faughey in her upper East Side office.

Don't be intimidated by the big crowds and bigger buildings. New York can be a friendly and manageable city for visitors if you heed some of this time-tested advice.1. Don't be afraid to wander. Start spreading the news: New York is the safest big city in the United States. Gone are the days when people were warned not to venture into Alphabet City or the Lower East Side. Pretty much nowhere in Manhattan is off-limits – though it's still an urban area, so do use your common sense (for instance, you may not want to walk around at 3 a.m. by your lonesome). Most of Manhattan, with the exception of a few downtown neighborhoods like the West Village, the Lower East Side and Battery Park, is laid out on a grid system with very few hills, making it extremely easy to find your way around. In fact, a highlight of your trip will likely be strolling the streets gazing at the fascinating people, buildings and sights that pop up on every corner.2. Take the 'A' (and the 'B' and the 'C'…) train.
Ich bin und war nie ein Freund der New Yorker Fashion Week gewesen. Zu kommerziell, zu wenig avantgardistisch. Mode für die gemäßigte Amerikanerin, käuferfreundlich und kaum aufregend. Einige wenige Label haben es aber immer wieder geschafft meine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen. Leider gab es selbst bei diesen jetzt kaum Spannendes zu sehen. Mein Freund Yigal Azrouel z.B. der mich in den letzten beiden Saisons durchaus begeistern konnte, riss mich so gar nicht vom Stuhl. Schlecht ist es ja nicht, aber... Marc Jacobs war zum Gähnen und das in beiden Linien und das sehe nicht nur ich so. Adrian bringt es bildlich auf den Punkt und gräbt dazu noch ein vielsagendes Zitat Herrn Jacob's aus: I really wasn't very inspired this season. Wie jetzt? Inspiration oder nicht? Vielleicht Kopie? Da war wohl nichts... Hier noch ein Ausdruck der Enttäuschung. Nächstes Mal bitte wieder mehr. Vielleicht hat er all seine Energien in Louis Vuitton investiert? Wir werden sehen...

Brendan Dawes, creative director of UK based interactive design house magneticNorth (or mN to its friends) has been invited by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC to showcase Cinema Redux - a project he created that explores the idea of distilling a whole film down to one single image - at its much anticipated Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition which opens in February 2008.The exhibition, which opens to the general public from 24th February until 12th May, is a survey of the latest developments in the field of design focusing on designers' ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science and social mores - changes that will demand or reflect major adjustments in human behaviour - and then convert them into objects and systems that people understand and use.For Cinema Redux, Brendan created a piece of software that samples a movie every second and generates a small image of the frame at that moment in time. It does this for the entire film, with each row representing one minute

Caroline Kennedy ha mostrado públicamente su apoyo a Obama en un artículo publicado hoy en el New York Times. A título personal no me sorprende, porque esta familia y los Clinton, aún perteneciendo al mismo partido, siempre han tenido tiranteces. Solamente espero que Obama sufra exactamente de la misma suerte que tuvo el Kerry, cuando hace 4 años también fue comparado con el presidente americano de los años 60, al coincidir las iniciales de ambos: JFK. Y es que tanto para USA, como para el resto del mundo, es muy conveniente que el candidato demócrata sea Clinton, ya que dadas las circunstancias actuales, si los demócratas llegan a la Casa Blanca , mejor que sea con alguien que ya tiene experiencia en la “gran política”.

A 47 yard field goal stood in the way of the New York Giants, and a date with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42. It was that simple. However there was a problem, Lawrence Tynes had missed the previous two fields goals which would of given New York the lead. That and both field goals were closer than the one Tynes was about to attempt. The pressure was on. If Tynes misses this field goal he is the most hated person in the big apple, but if he makes it he redeems himself and is a self proclaimed hero. The snap good, the hold good, the kick straight down the middle. Lambeau field left stunned as the Giants, who basically kept Green Bay in the game down the stretch, went in and upset Brett Farve and the Packers. Now, just like a month ago, the 30 other football teams along with football fans outside of the Boston Massachusetts area will be rooting for the New York Giants as they are the final team in the way of the Patriots and the glory of being undefeated. Why is everyone behind

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shoppers got a Christmas Eve surprise on Monday when a pair of brothers handed out $100 bills at a mall on Long Island, New York. Police responded to a call from security staff at the Sunrise Mall in the town of Massapequa, concerned that the give-away might create a scene or involve counterfeit bills. Instead, officers found a simple case of Christmas charity where calm prevailed as the businessmen, aged 45 and 41, gave out the money at the entrance to the shopping center, police said. "These two brothers say they do this every year. They say they've been blessed and just want to give something back," Detective Sergeant Anthony Repalone said. "They gave it to people who they thought needed it. The people were very appreciative." Police declined to identify the brothers, respecting their wish to remain anonymous.
