Tips of the Week: Cleaning up your web browser and turning off wireless router
February 17, 2013
Here are a couple of computer tips for you. First, we recommend using Firefox as your browser. It is much safer and less predatorial than the the others. However, even it can get bogged down with unwanted add-on programs. To clear it up, go to “help” then “troubleshooting” then “reset Firefox”.

NYPD refuses to charge taxi drivers
January 12, 2014- By Steven E. Greer
BatteryPark.TV has been the recipient of several assaults by TLC-licensed livery cab drivers over the last several years, as we successfully cleaned up the residential streets that had been serving as parking zones for the cars awaiting clients. In one case, two town car drivers entered the lobby of a residential building and threw punches. In another, this reporter was literally held hostage in a locked moving yellow cab.
However, in all cases, the police refused to get involved, always referring the matters to the TLC. The TLC then dealt out lame insufficient punishment.
The Post reports today that we were not alone. Apparently, even when people are killed by bad taxi drivers, criminal charges are almost never brought, Continue reading

January 1, 2014– By Steven E. Greer
Well, we made it into yet another year, sound and alive. Congratulations.

January 8, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD

The entire strip between Murray and Vesey Streets was jammed with gas guzzling SUVs. When the driver of the lead SUV (closest to Murray) got out of his car to walk into the Conrad, BP.TV asked him to move his car. He dismissed the request stating, “So, everyone is parked there.”.

December 2, 2013- By Steven E. Greer, MD
