| Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers says he is stunned that the $60 billion Sandy aid bill wasn't put up for a vote in the House of Representatives. He says fees brought in by tourism cover at least 70 percent of the borough's $12 million budget. Federal funds would help some displaced homeowners and help businesses build back inventory. Even though the boardwalk will be done in phases, he has stipulated in the contracts that it should be completed by May 10th in order to be up and running well... Read More |

The Quadrantids meteor shower, which can potentially be the best natural lightshow of the year, will be visible Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. Viewing conditions will be good around the Philadelphia area with partly clear skies but it will be quite frigid with temperatures only about 25 degrees. The moon is in a waning gibbous phase which could add to the light pollution and wash out dimmer meteors.
The peak is predicted to be somewhere around 2:30 to 3 a.m. on Jan... Read More |

Congress has started its climb back up the "fiscal cliff." After House Republicans relented to the Senate's plan, the House Tuesday night passed the bill 257-167 with GOP and Democratic support to avoid a fiscal cliff. President Obama thanked all parties involved in the negotiations. The bill, he said raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing a middle class tax hike that could have sent the economy back into a recession.
