NEWARK — Scott, Mitch, Kirstie, Avi and Kevin huddled around a dim lamp and prepared to sing, bereft not only of instruments — an expected arrangement for the a cappella superstars — but of microphones as well. Five un-amplified voices to fill the cavernous Prudential Center arena was a tall task, but Pentatonix had some help; their Newark audience of thousands was, by request, perfectly silent. The quiet was jarring, especially after an hour of booming, beatboxing and ultra-harmonizin..>> view originalNewark-born Trilogy Opera Company brings Black histories to the ...
When international opera singer Kevin Maynor invited an executive from Tower Records to Newark back in the early 2000’s for what he hoped would be the genesis of a major record initiative, the city rolled out the red carpet. Not long before, Maynor had been impressed that so many people from the area were successful in the music business at the time, a discovery he made while watching a music awards show with his sons. Maynor solicited help from then-mayor Sharpe James’ administration to try to ..>> view originalGlimpse of History: Welcoming the boys back in Newark
NEWARK — Newly returned GIs are greeted by members of the Red Cross at Newark Airport in this World War II-era photo. Npr.org offers what may be a little-known fact: Red Cross doughnuts weren't always free for military personnel. "The organization started charging only because the U.S. Secretary of War asked it to," the site notes.

You'll hear a lot about the upcoming "supermoon" over the next few days. As exciting as it sounds, it is not really a meaningful astronomical event. In fact, before 2011, most people — including astronomers — hadn't heard much about a supermoon. That the moon appears slightly larger when it is closest to Earth is a well-known, but not a significant or rare occurrence. Lunar perigee occurs every month and the full moon occurs near perigee two to three times a year. So when the moon is full tomo..>> view original
