Bruce Springsteen Hits Freehold Diner Twice In One Weekend
So you had a peptic ulcer that forced you to postpone a world tour and where do you go for a bite when you're feeling better? How 'bout a landmark diner in your hometown?

His stomach was obviously healthy enough for him to head there twice in the same weekend. The Freehold native did the E (Main) Street shuffle on Friday, Nov. 17 and again on Sunday, posing for pics at the former Tony’s Freehold Grill with Chef Robert…

Five From NJ Admit Pocketing $1.3M In Aircraft Equipment Scam
A crew of con artists from New Jersey admitted swindling more than $1.3 million from hundreds of businesses nationwide and abroad that thought they were buying specialized aviation equipment. The head of the operation, Antonio P. Signo, 36, of Somerset – aka "Tony Demetro" – had been the first to take a deal from prosecutors rather than face the potential consequences of a trial. The onetime fugitive pleaded guilty last August -- with no public notice from authorities – to a single count of theft by deception, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin revealed on Thursday, May 25. The…

NJ Man Who Scouted Landmarks As Terror Targets Gets 12 Years In Federal Prison
UPDATE: A convicted New Jersey “sleeper agent” for Hezbollah who scoped out potential terrorism targets in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. Alexei Saab, a 45-year-old software developer who lived in Morristown, must serve just about all of the sentence delivered in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, May 23, because there’s no parole in the federal prison system. Saab kept up appearances as an ordinary American citizen while working for Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO) from 2000 to 2005, federal prosecutors said. Dur…

Turns Out Hydroxychloroquine Isn’t Miracle Drug, Experts Say
It turns out an anti-malarial drug hasn’t been the “game changer” as some thought it would be in fighting the coronavirus. It could even prove harmful, experts warn. Researchers have reported no benefit from using hydroxychloroquine in U.S. veterans hospitals, saying they found more deaths among those given the drug than under standard care. In addition, a panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recommended that physicians don’t use a suggested combo of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 patients because of poten…

Covid-
19 Symptoms Worse, Experts Say
Despite the social media warnings, there’s no proof that over-the-counter ibuprofen can increase the risk of coronavirus or make the symptoms worse, experts say. Taking ibuprofen (Advil or Mortrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to treat pain or fever won't increase the risk of getting COVID-19 or worsen the symptoms, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. The confusion over brand-name painkillers began after France’s minister of Solidarity and Health tweeted that ibuprofren and cortisone “could be an aggravating factor” in COVID-19 infection. That kind of social medi…
