Theater

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Theater Uploaded for the Guess Where NYC Flickr group. I’ll identify it here as soon as they guess it, which should be shortly.

From Niznoz: “It’s the Metro theatre on Broadway and 99th. It recently closed, again, and while the outside is protected as a landmark, the concern in the neighborhood is that it’s going to be gutted and turned into a supermarket. It’s a Deco classic.”

UK radiation jump blamed on Iraq shells
RADIATION detectors in Britain recorded a fourfold increase in uranium levels in the atmosphere after the “shock and awe” bombing campaign against Iraq, according to a report.Environmental scientists who uncovered the figures through freedom of information laws say it is evidence that depleted uranium from the shells was carried by wind currents to Britain.

Government officials, however, say the sharp rise in uranium detected by radiation monitors in Berkshire was a coincidence and probably came from local sources.

US Democrats plan bill to block Dubai-US port deal

Two U.S. Democratic senators said on Friday they would introduce legislation aimed at blocking Dubai Ports World from buying a company that operates several U.S. shipping ports because of security concerns.

Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Hillary Clinton of New York said they would offer a measure to ban companies owned or controlled by foreign governments from acquiring U.S. port operations.

“We wouldn’t turn the border patrol or the customs service over to a foreign government, and we can’t afford to turn our ports over to one either,” Menendez said in a statement.
