Keith Whamond

I haven’t seen any news stories about this yet, but a video on YouTube shows an unidentified woman laying down on subway tracks recently somewhere in New York. An equally unidentified man eventually climbs onto the tracks, with the train approaching, and convinces her to hop back onto the platform.

A horrifying situation, one that probably resonates with all you commuters out there. Pretty dramatic stuff.

Reader beware, the language in the video is not safe for work:

A quick note on two changes to our sites as of this morning:

• After relaunching the sites several  months ago, we’re out of beta! We’ve moved dozens of enhancements to the sites over the past months and improved our stability. We’re pretty thrilled with the sites, and judging by the tremendous increase in traffic we’ve seen, so are our users.
• One of the big reasons we’re out of beta: We now have RSS feeds for our most popular headline lists, from breaking news to headlines about your town to high school sports stories. You may have already noticed little RSS icons dotting our pages. You’ll see more in the future.
• We moved our search box into our header, giving us more area to promote some of our great content and making it easier for our users to quickly find what they’re looking for. Behold:

Our new search module

More new stuff is coming. Stay tuned!
