Don't forget all the cab companies. NJ having non regulated taxi cab rates allows all local cab companies to Jack their prices for a 1 mile ride to and from the Meadowlands area up to $60-$100 a ride or some ridiculous amount. They already do it during any event at the Meadowlands.   more ›

Over 100 Years Old and Still Hitting the Weights

If you were thinking of skipping the gym today, you'll have to think of better excuses.

The young have no more excuses when it comes to working out. Cindy Carney has been teaching fitness for four years in Marlboro, to seniors at Sunrise Senior Living. One of her students is 101-years-old. Carney said she has some students who are with her weekly, as she teaches fitness to increase mobility and strength in her students. Exercises include balancing on one leg, squats to increase leg strength and make it easier to get out of a chair, and cardio to up the heart rate and strengthen the heart. So if you were thinking of skipping the gym today, you'll have to think of better excuses.

UPDATE: Feuding Baseball Teams Barred from Tournament

Media reports say both teams are barred from competing for the state tournament title after Saturday's bench-clearing brawl.

UPDATE, 6 pm Monday.  Both teams have been disqualified from the NJSIAA state tournament, reports the Two River Times on TRTNJ.com.

RunAPolooza Organizers: Wear Boston Marathon Colors at Race

Over 40 members of the Jersey Shore Running Club participated in the marathon.

Text messages and phone calls flew rapidly among members of the Jersey Shore Running Club (JSRC) Monday.  Any other year, these would have been messages of congratulations for the 40 or so club members running the challenging Boston Marathon course. Instead, the communications took on urgency: are they all safe? Moira Easton Haron of Spring Lake Heights ran faster than her planned marathon time and finished ahead of the explosions. Krissy Suckow of Wall made it out of Boston and was on her way home. All the JSRC members were indeed fine. With the club’s largest racing event, RunAPalooza, set to take place in Asbury Park on Saturday, JSRC leaders called for a show of solidarity at the event. Wear blue and yellow, the Boston Marathon colors…

Tell Us: Should Rice's Behavior at Rutgers Keep Him From Coaching Kids?

The former coach, fired for abusive behavior towards his basketball players, was spotted coaching a seventh grade girls basketball league this weekend.

Mike Rice was fired for hurling basketballs at his players and unleashing insulting homophobic rants, but the former Rutgers mens basketball coach was spotted over the weekend coaching a seventh grade girls AAU team in Holmdel. Deadspin.com reported that Rice, who lives in Little Silver, was seen coaching a 12-year-old girls  basketball team at Holmdel High School on Saturday night. The article cites tweets by contributor Brian Geltzeiler of hoopscritic.com reporting that Rice was acting "crazy as ever yelling @ both refs and kids." Geltzeiler posted in a follow up tweet, "Just to clarify. I'm not joking. Mike Rice is actually coaching a 7th grade girls AAU team today and he's still acting like a mad man." The news elicited a number of …
