Mayor Bloomberg announced his plan to provide free flu shots to all city school children yesterday. The program will be administered by school nurses in the form of a nasal spray, both during school hours and on weekends. The free vaccine is an effort to stop the spread of the swine flue and curb panic among the public. This comes after the White House recently stated that up to half the county

There was an interesting comment made on WFAN 660 AM sports talk radio about the Yankees not winning the World Series whenever a Republican President is in office. Is this true? Let's find out...To the video tape:The world series wins in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 were all while President Bill Clinton was in the white house.Then there were the Yankees dark days of the 80's and early 90's while

The annual Jets/Giants game is the first sign that football is near. This year, with rookie quaterback Mark Sanchez leading the Jets offense and Eli Manning charged with shouldering a young wide receiver corps, the game had even more meaning for coaches, players, fans and pundits. The Giants started most of their regular season first team, minus Antonio Pierce and Aaron Ross, both injured but
