A woman carries a sign as she attends a meeting of the New York City Landmarks Commission in lower Manhattan, August 3, 2010. The City agency denied "landmark" status for an old building near the site of the September 11 attacks, clearing the way for the building to be torn down to make room for a Muslim cultural center which has spurred heated debate.
