Washington's legacy Jersey strong | Di Ionno
I'm a George Washington guy. No disrespect to Abraham Lincoln, FDR or JFK, or the other 40 chief execs, but President's Day started out as Washington's Birthday and should have stayed that way. In fact, it still is, officially. The federal government never changed the name from Washington's Birthday. Car dealers, mattress stores and PC state government's did that. So the holiday we celebrated last week has devolved from its original intent, to honor "The Father of Our Country," the man who won..>> view originalMan accused of killing his exes has history of arrests for violence
Jeffrey Holland (Courtesy of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office) NEWARK รข€” Long before investigators zeroed in on him as the chief suspect in three shooting deaths, Jeffrey Holland had already racked up a lengthy arrest record.

Bloomberg NEW BRUNSWICK — Studies have shown that most Americans actually prefer to send a text message than to make a phone call, according to a survey conduct by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. Embracing this increasing trend, Rutgers University has implemented a pilot program that allows students to use text messaging to contact police officers already out in the streets on patrol.

LAST WEEK, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., was catapulted into an unlikely spotlight when The New York Times listed him as a potential Supreme Court nominee. The Times also included five other potential candidates, all of whom have a great deal more legal experience than Booker. The specter of Booker as a potential Supreme Court nominee forces us to reexamine Booker’s prospects.
