    Newark police play Santa's helpers for sick children on Christmas
    BELLEVILLE-- Never has such an industrious throng of elves been so happy to be so underemployed. Singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," they poured onto the pediatric ward of Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville on Christmas morning, each of the gaily costumed two dozen elves laden with toys or lugging bulging bags of stuffed animals but found patients in short supply. One had just been discharged -- they greeted this with a small cheer -- leaving only two to receive visitors. In one ro..

    This Christmas, envision your Nativity scene without refugees ...
    The Vatican's Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square has an unusual addition this year: Next to Mary and Joseph, a fishing boat, to represent the thousands of refugees risking their lives at sea. Pope Francis said this is because the story of Jesus' birth echoes "the tragic reality of migrants on boats" from the Middle East and Africa today. He hopes all who visit will remember the message of "fraternity, sharing, welcoming and solidarity." "The sad experience of these brothers and sisters recall..

    Chris Christie could use a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past ...
    Chris Christie went on the radio last week to condemn "the haters" who are keeping him from getting paid for writing a book while he's still governor. I can't see why this gets him so upset. I mean, does the world really need another cookbook? I suspect that's the only kind of book Christie could sell these days. If he were to write a book on his life in politics, the working title would be "I Sold My Soul to Donald Trump - and He Demanded a Refund." The past year was yet another one in which ..

    Quantarid show coming up; remembering John Glenn
    Posted: Dec. 25, 2016 12:01 am The only January meteor shower with possibilities this month is the Annual Quantarid show, peaking the evening of Jan. 2 and morning of Jan 3. There is only a sliver of a crescent moon, so viewing should be great, clouds or weather permitting. One more note, according to my friend astronomer Kevin Conod of the Newark Museum, the window for observing the Quantarids is short — many showers have a ramp up and ramp down time frame, but not this one. If you want to se..
