June 28: Five Things You Need to Know Today

Gooood morning, Little Neck. Let's see. June 28. On this day in 1969, the Stonewall Riots began in New York City, marking the official beginning of the Gay Rights Movement. On this day in 1997, Mike Tyson was evicted from the boxing ring after biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield II's ear. And on this day in 2006, the Republic of Montenegro became the 192nd member of the United Nations.

What will today bring? Only one way to find out!

1. NYC.gov is prepared to help you handle the myriad disasters that could befall New Yorkers at any moment. Each of the site's 13 designated hazards is outfitted with a non-threatening icon, like serum viles for "Disease Outbreaks" and a snow-covered tree branch for "Winter Weather." We feel safer already.

2. Congrats to the Cardozo High School class of 2011! We've got of the big event at Hofstra University, and will have video footage later today, so check back.

3. Longtime Little Neck business is out to a larger space in Roslyn in the coming weeks. While the community will undoubtedly be sad to see the store go, now's the time to take advantage of some seriously discounted instruments.

4. It's Tuesday, so why not take some time to watch a few videos of baby animals falling asleep? Tell your boss we said it's OK.

5. Today's weather: Partly cloudy, but good and hot. Crank that ceiling fan.
