New York City to Shut Down Mass Transit on Saturday at Noon

With Hurricane Irene pushing relentlessly toward the East Coast, officials made plans to shut down New York City's sprawling subway and bus system beginning at noon on Saturday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said.

The commuter rail lines that serve Long Island, Westchester County and Connecticut will also be shut down.

Officials decided to go ahead with the transit shutdown, which they had first mentioned on Thursday as a possibility at a City Hall briefing on Thursday, as the city was evacuating hospitals and nursing homes in low-lying areas. State officials continued arrangements for coordinating emergency services and restoring electricity if the storm does the kind of damage many fear.

Federal Reserve Chief Offers No Signs of New Stimulus

The Federal Reserve chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, said Friday that the economy is recovering and the nation's long-term prospects remain strong, an upbeat assessment that offered little indication of any plans for additional measures to boost short-term growth.

"With respect to longer-run prospects," Mr. Bernanke said in his prepared remarks, "my own view is more optimistic." He continued, "The growth fundamentals of the United States do not appear to have been permanently altered by the shocks of the past four years."

"The country would be well-served by a better process for making fiscal decisions," he said, noting that the political battle over raising the debt-ceiling had disrupted the financial markets "and probably the economy as well."
