Standout New Games at Hard Rock Bet

Seeing a long list doesn’t exactly give you the big picture, so after playing a couple dozen of them we’ve hand-picked some of the most explosive new games.

Let’s break them down even further.

Don’t Hard Rock the Boat

Fans of the coins series by Wazdan (more on them later) will love this new and exclusive Hard Rock game.

Don’t Hard Rock the Boat from Pariplay (Wizard) sets you sailing across a 25-line slot, hunting for riches on the open water with bets starting at a mere $0.20.

So far, low-stakes players have really appreciated this new game, but it’s no slouch either if you’re looking to compete for bigger prizes.

In all, the offering caps off with a potential haul topping 2,000x your stake, making the rough seas of dead spins possibly worth the boat trip.

Fire in the Hole xBomb

Fire in the Hole xBomb is a dynamite-charged slot that plunges you deep into a volatile mining adventure with a Nolimit City twist.

This 6-reel beast starts with 486 ways to win, but its cascading mechanics and explosive xBomb feature can blast it open to 46,656 ways as rows expand up to 6.

Bets range from $0.20 to $50, and with extreme volatility, you’re eyeballing a max win of 60,000x your stake if the stars – and bombs – align.

The Lucky Wagon Spins bonus, packed with modifiers like dynamite and coin collectors, adds fuel to the fire making it a high-stakes thrill ride. Fans are hooked on its quirky energy, with one player even saying it’s “the most fun I’ve ever had losing $5.”

Weird, but true.

12 Coins Grand Platinum Edition

12 Coins Grand Platinum Edition is a slot that flips the script with a shiny, coin-collecting twist.

This Wazdan standout drops you into a sleek, treasure-themed reel layout where nabbing matching coin symbols can spark cascading wins and unlock the “Platinum Vault” bonus round.

Wagers span from $0.25 to $200, with a max haul of 5,000x your bet if you strike the ultimate coin combo.

Players are vibing with its polished retro flair and tight gameplay – one X user hailed it as “a hidden gem that keeps the reels hot.”

It’s a crisp, rewarding spin with some serious cash-out punch.

The Goonies Megaways

Blueprint’s The Goonies Megaways brings the ‘80s cult classic to Hard Rock Bet with up to 15,625 ways to win.

Join Chunk, Sloth, and the gang hunting One-Eyed Willy’s treasure, with Cash Collect symbols snagging instant prizes and a Treasure Blitz Super Spin mode that can push wins to 10,000x your bet.

Stakes run from $0.10 to $25, balancing low-risk fun with high-roller thrills.

NJ players are geeking out over the nostalgia!

New Provider Games Provider: Gamecode

Hardrock Online Gaming has now teamed up with Gamecode, a rising star in the gaming world, to pump some of these new titles into the mix.

Known for slick designs and innovative mechanics, Gamecode is bringing a fresh edge to the lineup with standout slots like Back of Beyond and Long Hu Dou.

These games lean hard into bold visuals and bonus-heavy gameplay – think cascading reels and jackpot triggers that keep the pulse racing.

Titanic Exhibition Returns to Liberty Science Center After a Decade

Titanic Exhibition Returns

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition opened at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, after ten years.

The exhibition will run until September 1, 2025, and give visitors a chance to learn about the RMS Titanic, one of the most famous ships in history, through over 130 real artifacts recovered from the wreck site.

Visitors enter with a replica boarding pass that assigns them the identity of a real Titanic passenger.

As they move through the exhibition, they follow the ship’s journey from its construction in 1909 to its departure on April 10, 1912, and its sinking on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg.

One part of the exhibition allows guests to touch an indoor iceberg, which shows how cold the Atlantic water was when the Titanic sank in the early morning hours of April 15.

Another feature is the logometer, which measures the ship’s daily distance.

It still shows the reading from the night Titanic went down.

Key Takeaways
  • Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Liberty Science Center runs until September 1, 2025.
  • A 20-pound crushed chandelier from the first-class smoking lounge recovered in 1987 is displayed for the first time alongside personal belongings, ship parts, and the logometer from the night Titanic sank.
  • Visitors receive a replica boarding pass of a real Titanic passenger and discover whether they survived.

Artifacts from the Wreck Site

For the first time, Liberty Science Center displays a 20-pound crushed chandelier from the first-class smoking lounge.

The chandelier, recovered in 1987, is dented and damaged but still has its gold patina.

It once hung in an area where the wealthiest passengers gathered.

Other artifacts include jewelry, clothing, shoes, silverware, champagne bottles, and ship fragments.

A Personal Connection to History

At the end of the exhibition, visitors learn if the person on their boarding pass survived the disaster.

This makes the experience more personal and helps people understand the human side of the tragedy.

The exhibition also features replica models of Titanic, including a detailed scale model of the iceberg that caused the disaster.

These models show the ship’s design and the size of the iceberg in comparison.

The Debate Over Titanic’s Artifacts

The display of artifacts from Titanic has led to debate.

Many believe the wreck should be left undisturbed as a maritime grave, whereas others argue that recovering and preserving artifacts educates future generations.

The exhibition explains the scientific and engineering challenges involved in bringing these objects to the surface and conserving them.

Titanic was one of the most advanced ships, but its sinking exposed flaws in design, safety measures, and human decision-making.

The exhibition helps visitors understand how this disaster changed ship safety rules and led to better passenger protection on modern ships.

Visiting the Exhibition

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition requires an additional $8 ticket along with general admission to Liberty Science Center.

The center, located in Liberty State Park, is a 300,000-square-foot educational facility near the Statue of Liberty.

More details, including ticket prices and visiting hours, are available at LSC.org.

New Heat Pumps in New York Public Housing Cut Costs and Improve Winter Heating

New Heat Pumps in New York Public Housing

For years, residents of the Woodside Houses in Queens struggled with inconsistent heating.

Steam radiators, powered by natural gas, often fail to provide reliable warmth.

On cold days, some apartments had no heat, while on warmer days, the radiators blasted too much heat, forcing tenants to open windows to cool down their homes.

Sometimes, the radiators would take hours to warm up, only to become too hot when the weather changed.

Key Takeaways
  • NYCHA’s new heat pumps at Woodside Houses use 87% less energy and cut heating costs by nearly 50%.
  • Residents have better temperature control, providing consistent and adjustable heating and cooling for residents.
  • The window-mounted heat pumps cost around $3,000 per unit, are installed in two hours, and don’t require costly electrical upgrades.

Heat Pumps Replace Unreliable Steam Radiators

To address these problems, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) launched a test program to replace steam radiators with electric heat pumps.

In July 2023, NYCHA installed the first heat pumps in 12 apartments at Woodside Houses. Later, another 12 units were installed, bringing the total to 72 heat pumps across two buildings. The results were clear and measurable.

According to NYCHA’s analysis, the heat pumps reduced energy use by 87% and lowered heating costs by almost 50%. Seeing the benefits, NYCHA now plans to install heat pumps in an entire building at Woodside Houses by fall 2025.

Eventually, all 19 buildings in the complex will have these new heating systems, and similar upgrades will happen in other NYCHA buildings across New York City.

How Heat Pumps Work and Why They’re Better

Heat pumps operate differently from traditional steam radiators. Instead of burning fuel, they pull warmth from the air outside and transfer it inside.

In the summer, heat pumps work in reverse, removing heat from the inside and cooling the room, which makes them more efficient than both boilers and air conditioners. They operate on electricity, unlike boilers that burn fuel on-site, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Since New York City’s buildings produce the most emissions of any sector, switching to heat pumps could help the city meet its environmental goals.

In 2021, NYCHA, the New York Power Authority, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority launched a contest to encourage companies to design an affordable, easy-to-install heat pump.

The challenge required that the units cost under $3,000 and not require major construction work. Two companies won contracts.

Based in New Jersey, Midea America was awarded 20,000 units, while Gradient, based in California, secured a contract for 10,000.

These partnerships helped bring the cost down and made heat pumps more accessible to more renters and homeowners.

Residents Adjust to the New System

At first, some residents were unsure about the new units.

The heat pumps, which are about the size of a dishwasher, are installed in windows, much like air conditioners. Some people worried they would take up too much space or be difficult to use. However, once winter arrived, many residents changed their minds.

The units provided steady, adjustable heat, something they never had with steam radiators.

Hector Rivera, one of the residents whose apartment was fitted with Gradient heat pumps, initially had some issues. One unit leaked, and another didn’t heat properly.

Nonetheless, technicians quickly fixed the problems, and Rivera said he now prefers the heat pumps over the old radiators. He especially liked that each room could be set to a different temperature.

Before, the radiators often dried out the air, which made breathing uncomfortable. Now, he said, the air quality is better, and he no longer experiences a dry throat from overheating.

Another resident, Roseline Vieira, had her apartment equipped with Midea heat pumps. She said they worked perfectly, and she could lower the temperature whenever she wanted. Vieira also appreciated the child-lock feature, which prevented her cats from accidentally changing the settings.

A Cost-Effective and Scalable Solution

One of the biggest challenges in upgrading heating systems is cost.

Installing a traditional central heat pump system in a NYCHA apartment would cost around $38,000. That price includes major electrical work and wall modifications, making it unrealistic for many buildings.

In contrast, the window-mounted heat pumps used at Woodside Houses cost about a third of that price. They plug into a regular wall outlet and take only two hours to install, making them a practical alternative for both public and private housing.

According to Punit Shah, vice president of buildings at Bright Power, one of the biggest barriers to switching to electric heating is the cost of upgrading a building’s electrical system.

Because these heat pumps don’t require those upgrades, they offer a more affordable option for many landlords and renters.

Gradient and Midea now sell these heat pumps commercially to those interested in purchasing their own unit. Prices range from $3,000 to $3,800, but buyers may qualify for federal tax credits and state rebates, making them more affordable.

The Future of Heating in Public Housing

The Woodside Houses pilot program has shown that electric heat pumps can successfully replace outdated steam radiators.

Residents have reported better comfort, lower heating costs, and more control over their indoor climate. So far, no one has complained about not getting enough heat, which suggests that the system is working well even in cold New York winters.

Tammy Reyes, president of the Woodside Houses Tenants Association, is excited about the change. Many see it as a sign that NYCHA is finally modernizing its buildings in a way that improves their daily lives.

As New York City continues to push for lower emissions and more energy-efficient housing, the Woodside Houses project could serve as a model for other public housing developments.

If the program expands as planned, thousands more NYCHA residents could soon have more reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly heating in their homes.

March Madness Injury Update: Clemson and LSU Face Injury Setbacks Ahead of Conference Tournaments

March Madness Injury Update

March is here, and for Clemson and LSU, it brings excitement with a side of concern.

Both teams are gearing up for deep tournament runs, but injuries to key players could change everything.

Clemson’s Chase Hunter is dealing with a calf injury, while LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson is out with shin inflammation.

Their teams are adjusting, but with the biggest games ahead, their recoveries could make or break the season.

Key Takeaways
  • Clemson’s Chase Hunter is recovering from a calf injury, and coach Brad Brownell is optimistic about his return ahead of the ACC tournament.
  • LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson is sidelined with shin inflammation and will miss the SEC tournament, but the team expects her to return for March Madness.
  • Both teams are preparing for major postseason runs, with Clemson aiming for ACC success and LSU prioritizing Johnson’s recovery to strengthen their NCAA tournament bid.

Clemson’s Hot Streak and Hunter’s Injury Worries

Clemson has won six straight games, proving they can win in different ways—inside, outside, or with tough defense. They’ve already secured a double-bye in the ACC Tournament, which starts March 11. But now, they need Chase Hunter, their All-ACC guard, to be fully healthy.

Hunter injured his calf in practice before last week’s game against Notre Dame. Though he played, the injury still lingers. Clemson coach Brad Brownell gave an update but kept things cautious.

“It’s better,” Brownell said. “I’ll find out today where he is. He had treatment yesterday, and I do think it’s heading in the right direction. I’m optimistic he’s going to be fine and playing our games this week, but again, I have not seen him today.”

With Hunter limited, Clemson has leaned on Del Jones, a former four-star recruit, who stepped up in their win against Virginia. Jones scored eight points in 20 minutes, showing confidence and energy on the floor. Brownell praised his fearlessness.

“He doesn’t play like a freshman who’s afraid to make a mistake,” Brownell said.

As Clemson prepares for the ACC Tournament, they remain confident. They’ve found ways to win no matter the situation, which Brownell sees as their biggest strength.

“We’ve won different ways,” he said. “That’s why we’re a good team. We scored a lot of balls inside against Virginia on Saturday. We’ve had games where we’ve made 13, 14 threes and won. We’ve won with our defense. So, I think this year’s team is impressive. We can win a bunch of different ways, and we have so this year.”

With talks of expanding March Madness beyond its 68-team field, Brownell supports the idea, believing more players deserve the experience.

“It’s what kids dream about,” he said. “It’s something they talk about when they’re older. I don’t like the answer being no for so many guys.”

LSU Takes a Big Risk Resting Flau’Jae Johnson

While Clemson hopes Hunter can keep playing, LSU is taking a different approach. Flau’Jae Johnson, the team’s leading scorer at 18.9 points per game, is being shut down for the SEC Tournament to recover from shin inflammation.

Coach Kim Mulkey made the call, prioritizing her long-term health over the conference tournament.

“I know she’s trying to mask the pain she’s in,” Mulkey said. “It’s not a stress fracture. It’s just rest. We’ll get that inflammation down, and we’ll see the Flau’Jae we need when playoffs start.”

Johnson had been playing through pain since mid-February, even scoring 16 points against Texas on February 16, but her last game against Alabama showed signs of struggle. She finished with just six points on 2-for-12 shooting, her worst performance in over a year.

Without her, LSU lost 85-77 to Ole Miss, blowing a 13-point halftime lead. The Tigers missed her scoring and defense, but Mulkey remains focused on the bigger picture.

“Win or lose, we are still a No. 3 seed,” she said. “The most important thing is getting her healthy before the NCAA Tournament.”

Johnson, part of LSU’s 2023 national championship team, has high expectations.

“Anything less than a Final Four I’m not gonna be happy about because I know what this team is capable of,” she said.

The good news is LSU’s medical staff says it’s just inflammation, not a stress fracture, so with rest, she should be ready for the tournament starting March 18.

But will missing high-level competition in the SEC Tournament leave her rusty?

That’s the risk LSU is taking.

Can Clemson and LSU Overcome These Setbacks?

Both teams are built for big moments, but their March Madness hopes depend on the health of their stars.

Clemson has proved they can win in different ways, but without Hunter at full strength, they’ll have to keep adjusting.

LSU is betting that resting Johnson now will pay off later, but if she’s not 100% by March 18, they could struggle.

The unpredictability of March Madness makes every decision critical.

For Clemson and LSU, the pressure is on—not just to win but to get their best players back in time.

Knicks Trade News: New York Adds Anton Watson, Fails to Land Walker Kessler, and Locks in OG Anunoby for $212.5M

By
Paulius Kundzelevicius
-

This is what the New York Knicks do.

They make moves that get people talking, shake things up when the timing feels right, and go all-in when they believe the moment calls for it.

And they’ve only done it again.

Some of these decisions make perfect sense.

Others leave you wondering if the front office knows something the rest of us don’t.

Key Takeaways
  • The Knicks signed Anton Watson to a two-way deal after he averaged 12 points and 5.4 rebounds in the G League.
  • New York failed to trade for Walker Kessler, keeping Mitchell Robinson as their primary center.
  • OG Anunoby secured a $212.5M deal after proving his defensive and scoring value.

Anton Watson Joins the Knicks

It started with Anton Watson, a player most people wouldn’t have expected to be in the Knicks’ plans.

But he’s now officially part of the roster, as claimed by the Boston Celtics after spending the season in the G League with Maine.

It’s a two-way contract, so it’s not some franchise-altering decision, but it’s another piece, another experiment, another name to keep an eye on.

The move only happened because the Knicks opened up some space, parting ways with Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin, who were hanging onto two-way deals.

They decided Watson was the better bet, the guy with more upside.

And if you ask ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Knicks didn’t waste any time filling that hole.

“The New York Knicks are claiming former Celtics forward Anton Watson on a two-way NBA deal, his agents Adie von Gontard and Daveed Cohen of Young Money APAA tell ESPN.”

Watson’s college career at Gonzaga was solid—five seasons, and by the time he wrapped up his run, he was a full-time starter.

The Celtics saw enough to draft him in the second round, No. 54 overall.

But they didn’t bring him into their rotation.

Instead, he spent the entire season playing for Maine, averaging 12 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 16 games.

So now he goes to Westchester, where he’ll either carve out something meaningful or become another name that drifts into the background.

But the bigger story isn’t about Watson; it’s more so about the trade that didn’t happen.

Knicks Miss Out on Walker Kessler as Jazz Hold Firm

This one had potential, a real potential.

The Knicks wanted Walker Kessler.

The Lakers wanted Walker Kessler.

But yet, Walker Kessler is still in Utah.

Marc Stein reported that both teams pushed hard to make a deal with the Jazz, who are dead last in the Western Conference at 15-45.

Logic says a rebuilding team should be open to deals, especially when their player isn’t an established All-Star yet.

But Utah wasn’t interested in moving Kessler unless they got exactly what they wanted.

They wanted more than what the Knicks or Lakers were willing to give up.

And because Kessler stayed put, New York is now left wondering what could’ve been.

Kessler’s numbers this season clearly show why he was a target:

  • 11.4 points per game on 67.3% shooting
  • 12.2 rebounds per game
  • 2.3 blocks per game
  • 30.4 minutes per game in 46 appearances

With Mitchell Robinson injured at the time, the Knicks needed a legit big man to protect the rim.

They weren’t about to go into the playoffs with just Isaiah Hartenstein holding down the paint.

The front office tried, and it wasn’t enough.

The Lakers had their own problems.

They had already moved Anthony Davis to Dallas for Luka Doncic, which meant they needed a center even more desperately than New York.

They nearly worked out a trade for Mark Williams from Charlotte, but the Hornets backed out because of concerns about his injuries.

So the Lakers walked away with nothing.

The Knicks walked away with nothing.

And the Jazz, somehow, still have Walker Kessler.

OG Anunoby Proves the Knicks Made the Right Call

If anyone thought OG Anunoby was just a short-term rental, the Knicks proved otherwise.

It all started at the end of 2023, when New York made a massive trade with the Toronto Raptors, sending RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley north of the border.

Both had been with the team since their draft nights in 2019 and 2020, which made the move emotional for Knicks fans.

The reaction was mixed—some were furious, others confused, and many just wanted to see Anunoby in action before forming an opinion.

Then he played, and suddenly, everything made sense.

Anunoby brought exactly what the Knicks needed—tough, smart defense, efficient shooting, and a presence that made New York a legitimate threat in the East.

The team was rolling, the energy was high, and the trade looked like a masterstroke.

But then, the injuries came.

First, Julius Randle dislocated his shoulder at the end of January, a blow that shook the team’s frontcourt.

Then, Anunoby suffered a hamstring injury in the second round of the playoffs against Indiana, forcing him to miss significant time.

He returned for Game 7 but barely saw the floor.

And just like that, the Knicks’ season ended.

Despite the setback, New York knew Anunoby was too valuable to let go, so they locked him in with a five-year, $212.5 million contract, ensuring he remained a key part of their future.

Some questioned the deal, especially when the Philadelphia 76ers landed Paul George on a four-year max contract, a move that seemed less risky and more polished on paper.

But the Knicks weren’t about to gamble on losing Anunoby.

They understood his impact, particularly on defense, and were willing to invest in his value.

So far, he’s proving them right.

This season, Anunoby is averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 47.4% from the field and 36.4% from three.

He recently had one of his best all-around performances, putting up 23 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in a win against Miami.

Sitting firmly in the top three of the Eastern Conference at 40-20, the Knicks know Anunoby is one of the most important parts of their championship puzzle.

And Then There’s RJ Barrett

What makes this whole thing even more interesting?

The guy the Knicks gave up to get Anunoby—RJ Barrett—might not even last long in Toronto.

Over the summer, the Raptors committed to Immanuel Quickley, signing him to a five-year, $175 million deal.

Barrett, on the other hand, is suddenly in trade rumors again.

The Raptors shocked everyone when they traded for Brandon Ingram before the deadline, raising real questions about where Barrett fits in their long-term plans.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported that Barrett was even offered in the Ingram trade, but the Pelicans wanted Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk instead.

And that says a lot.

“With Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones already on the wing, the Pelicans didn’t view Barrett as a suitable fit for their roster as talks would have necessitated finding a third team, sources said.”

If Toronto wasn’t fully sold on him, then what’s stopping them from moving him this offseason?

Are the Knicks One Piece Away from Becoming True Contenders?

They missed out on Kessler but secured Anunoby and picked up Watson, adding another young piece to their roster.

While questions remain about their frontcourt depth, the Warriors are 40-20 and positioned for a serious playoff run.

With Mitchell Robinson back, Jalen Brunson playing at an All-Star level, and Anunoby proving his worth, the Knicks have all the pieces to legitimately compete for a title.

It might not happen this year, but one thing is certain—this is no longer the Knicks team of old.

The days of being an afterthought in the NBA are over.

The Knicks are here, they’re serious, and they’re ready to take the next step.

Make sure to visit Olyaa Gallery at 704 76th Street in North Bergen, NJ, before the show ends!

New Jersey Funding Increased for 2025-26: State Allocates Record $12.1 Billion for Schools

By

New Jersey Funding Increased

New Jersey has released its 2025-26 school aid numbers, providing districts with a clearer picture of their funding for the next school year.

The Department of Education announced that 392 out of the state’s nearly 600 school districts will see increases, while 175 districts will receive less funding than last year.

Governor Phil Murphy’s budget proposes $12.1 billion for K-12 education, the highest in state history.

This amount includes a $386 million increase over last year’s budget, fully funding the state’s school funding formula for the second year in a row.

However, changes have been made to how funding is calculated.

The state has now placed a 6% cap on funding increases and a 3% limit on cuts to help districts plan budgets without major swings in aid.

Additionally, special education costs will be calculated using actual district expenses instead of state averages, and district wealth will now be based on three-year property value averages instead of just one year.

Key Takeaways
  • Nearly 68% of school districts (392 total) will receive increased state aid, while 31% will see cuts, with a maximum reduction of 3%.
  • Aid calculations now use actual special education costs instead of averages and three-year wealth and property averages instead of single-year data.
  • State aid increases are limited to 6%, while cuts are capped at 3%, aiming to reduce district budget uncertainty.

Districts Receiving the Highest Increases

A total of 392 school districts will receive more aid than last year.

Newark Public Schools will see the largest dollar increase, gaining $75 million, bringing its total state funding to $1.326 billion.

Other districts receiving significant increases include:

  • Trenton City Schools, increasing $22.6 million, reaching $399.7 million.
  • Paterson City Schools, increasing $35 million, reaching $618.6 million.
  • East Orange Schools, increasing $9.3 million, reaching $184.6 million.
  • Elizabeth City Schools, increasing $14.2 million, reaching $597.4 million.
  • Camden City Schools, increasing $20.9 million, reaching $369.7 million.

Several smaller districts will see the highest percentage increases.

The largest percentage increase goes to Beach Haven in Ocean County, with a 19.3% increase, raising its total aid to $414,893.

Other notable percentage increases include:

  • Central Regional School District (Ocean County), increasing 18%, with a total of $6.57 million
  • Franklin Township (Hunterdon County), increasing 16.1%, with a total of $555,956
  • Deal (Monmouth County), increasing 15.9%, with a total of $3.023 million
  • Frenchtown (Hunterdon County), increasing 15.2%, with a total of $346,898

Districts Facing Reductions

On the other hand, 175 school districts will see less aid compared to last year.

The biggest dollar reduction is in Jersey City Schools, which is losing $4 million in funding, bringing its total to $129.6 million.

The district with the largest percentage cut is Cape May City Schools, which is losing 27.3% of its funding, reducing aid by $444,752 to $1.185 million.

Other districts seeing reductions include:

  • Califon in Hunterdon County, down 7.8%
  • Colts Neck in Monmouth County, down 4.9%
  • Laurel Springs in Camden County, down 3.5%

While these cuts may seem small compared to past years, districts that relied on higher funding could still face budget challenges.

Changes in the School Funding Formula

The way New Jersey calculates school aid has also changed this year.

One of the biggest updates is that special education funding is now based on actual district costs instead of using statewide averages.

This change ensures that districts with higher numbers of special education students receive more appropriate funding, as opposed to relying on estimates that don’t always match actual expenses.

Another change affects how district wealth is measured.

The state will now average data over three years rather than using one year of property values and income.

This adjustment is meant to smooth out funding shifts caused by sudden economic changes in a district, providing more stability for school budgets.

Additionally, the budget includes more funding for mental health services and school security, recognizing the growing need for counselors, social workers, and security improvements.

State Officials Respond to the New Plan

Education Commissioner Kevin Dehmer explained that these changes came after years of feedback from school superintendents and education advocates.

Superintendents had also requested earlier notice of aid amounts, so the state released a preliminary funding floor in February to help districts plan for the worst-case scenario.

While some education leaders support these changes, Danielle Farrie from the Education Law Center believes the 6% cap on increase limits the state’s ability to fix funding inequities.

Implementation and Next Steps

Murphy’s budget proposal must now go through the state Legislature for approval.

The new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2025, and districts must finalize their budgets based on these state aid figures.

Districts that hold school elections in April must submit their budgets by March 7, while those with November elections must finalize budgets by March 19.

Although this year’s school funding plan offers more predictability than in past years, districts still face challenges such as inflation, rising special education costs, and school building repairs.

Governor Murphy has proposed $50 million for school construction, but some groups argue this is far too little.

The Schools Development Authority estimates that $7 billion is needed to renovate or replace aging buildings in high-poverty districts.

For now, schools will have to make the best use of their allocated funding.

While the new formula aims to bring more fairness and stability, how districts will adjust their budgets in the coming months remains to be seen.

Rep. Rob Menendez Takes Leadership Role in DCCC for 2026 Midterms

Rep. Rob Menendez Named DCCC

Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ-8) has been named a regional vice chair for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) as the party prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.

The DCCC’s goal is to win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Menendez will be responsible for overseeing Democratic efforts in the Northeast region.

He is one of four regional vice chairs joining Reps Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX-7), Sara Jacobs (D-CA-51), and Mark Pocan (D-WI-2).

DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said Menendez’s role will be critical to the committee’s strategy, calling him an effective communicator and advocate for working families.

Menendez’s assignment places him in charge of Democratic efforts in key races, including Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s (R-NJ-7) re-election campaign and Rep. Nellie Pou’s (D-NJ-9) first re-election bid.

Kean’s district has been competitive in recent elections, and Pou’s district voted narrowly for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Key Takeaways
  • Rep. Rob Menendez has been named a DCCC regional vice chair, overseeing Democratic campaign efforts in the Northeast for the 2026 midterms.
  • In addition to his DCCC role, Menendez serves as finance co-chair of CHC BOLD PAC and sits on the House Energy & Commerce Committee.
  • His leadership will be crucial in competitive Northeast races, including Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s re-election bid, while he prepares for his own 2026 race against Richard Badilla.

Menendez’s Political Background 

Menendez was first elected to Congress in 2022 and won re-election in 2024.

His district, which includes heavily Hispanic urban areas of North Jersey, is considered safely Democratic.

However, in 2024, he faced a serious primary challenge from Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla.

Menendez won with 52% of the vote, despite the political fallout from his father, former Sen. Bob Menendez, who was convicted on federal corruption charges.

House Democratic leaders and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus provided financial and political support that helped him win.

Menendez’s Expanding Role in Democratic Leadership

Beyond the DCCC, Menendez holds other leadership positions in Congress.

He serves as finance co-chair of CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, alongside Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24).

CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez (D-CA-38) has praised Menendez’s role in raising money for Latino candidates and strengthening Hispanic representation in Congress.

Menendez is also a member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, which oversees healthcare, energy policy, and telecommunications.

His appointment to this committee gives him a role in influencing laws about national issues.

Menendez’s Role in 2026 Midterms

The 2026 midterm elections will determine control of the House, where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority.

Democrats believe they can regain control by targeting vulnerable Republican-held seats, particularly in swing districts like New Jersey’s 7th.

Menendez has stated that House Republicans have failed to address economic and social issues, and he will focus on helping Democrats present an alternative.

As a DCCC regional vice chair, Menendez will help recruit and support Democratic candidates in competitive districts.

His responsibilities include fundraising, campaign strategy, and messaging.

Although his own district is not considered competitive, Menendez will face an independent challenger in 2026.

Richard Badilla, an engineer and teacher from Jersey City, has filed to run.

However, the 8th District’s heavily Democratic makeup makes it unlikely that Badilla’s campaign will pose a serious threat.

Menendez’s new leadership role in the DCCC and his position in CHC BOLD PAC show his increasing importance in the Democratic Party.

Campgrounds in New Jersey: Where to Pitch Your Tent or Park Your RV

Campgrounds in New Jersey

You probably don’t think of “camping” when you hear “New Jersey,” but that’s your first mistake.

The Garden State punches above its weight with campgrounds that range from beachside escapes to pine-filled retreats.

Whether you’re here to rough it or want a spot where the kids can roast marshmallows without complaining, there’s no doubt NJ has a place for you.

So, let’s talk about the ones that get it right.

Shady Pines

Kicking things off, let’s talk about Shady Pines in Galloway Township.

This spot is just 10 minutes from the buzz of Atlantic City, but you’ll never know it once you settle in.

Surrounded by two wildlife refuges, it’s a peaceful getaway that works for everyone—from families with kids to those embracing the 55+ lifestyle.

With over 95 full-hookup sites, it has space for big rigs, tents, and even a spacious RV rental if you don’t have a setup.

Every site comes with a private picnic table and fire ring, which is convenient as they’re a nightmare to travel with if you don’t have the space.

And they’ve also covered the extras: a swimming pool, shuffleboard, basketball courts, and even an arcade for when the kids (or you) need a break from the outdoors.

To top it all off, they also host bingo nights, potlucks, barbecues, and other events. So, there is, basically, zero chance you’ll get bored.

Turkey Swamp Park

If you end up heading to Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold, you’d better bring your sense of adventure (and maybe a fishing pole).

This activity haven, easily one of the best campgrounds in New Jersey, is practically an outdoor playground.

The lake is beautiful and the main attraction, with rentals for canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and paddleboats, or you can bring your own.

And if fishing’s your thing, you’ll have a chance to catch some bass, catfish, and bluegill.

Amazingly, though, the park is packed with space to just be outside.

Picnic areas with grills, open fields perfect for a lazy game of catch, and playgrounds for the kids make it easy to spend the whole day here.

It’s also one of the most serene places in New Jersey to explore: 9 miles of trails that’ll take you through wooded paths filled with pitch pines and oak trees.

Bonus points if you spot wildlife along the way.

Not to mention, they’ve got big group shelters that fit up to 250 people, an archery range, and sports fields.

The beauty of this place lies in the fact you can fill your day doing as much—or as little—as you want.

Sun Retreats Long Beach Island

Without question, Sun Retreats Long Beach Island in Barnegat knows a thing or two about camping in NJ.

Just 10 miles from the beach, it’s close enough for sandy afternoons but far enough to feel like a proper getaway.

The campground has space galore for all you RVers, tent campers, and even those who prefer a cozy cabin over sleeping under the stars.

It’s a family favorite; parents love seeing the little ones happy as they play their way through the giant jumping pillow, playground, and mini-golf course.

For a slower pace, there are nature trails to wander or a pool to cool off in. And even your dog gets a space to run at the on-site dog park.

Every site comes with the basics: water hookups, a fire ring, a grill, and a picnic table.

And if you forget something or need a snack, there’s a store with all you need, so you won’t have to worry about that.

Add in little conveniences like laundry facilities and an arcade for rainy days, and it’s a spot that makes camping feel easy.

Sun Retreats Avalon

Sun Retreats Avalon in Cape May Court House is a Jersey Shore camping spot you’ll likely fall in love with.

The campground features a 2,000-square-foot pool, a fishing lake, and kayak rentals for when you want to get out on the water.

And on land, there’s shuffleboard, bocce, and even a zip line.

Beyond the campground, you’re minutes from Cape May’s wildlife refuge and the county zoo—so it’s a great excuse for a quick day trip.

You can also check out nearby vineyards for tastings. Or for a dose of Shore nostalgia, Morey’s Piers isn’t far, with its rides, games, and boardwalk delights.

On-site, the setup is, thankfully, straightforward. A general store for supplies, laundry when you need it, and even golf carts to zip around.

They didn’t forget about the kids or the dogs, either—there’s an arcade, a playground, and a dog park.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: South Jersey

There’s no way around it—Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: South Jersey in Williamstown is built for families who want a fun, easy getaway.

There’s a swimming lake, pools, and gem mining that allows the kids to dig for treasure.

And the jumping pillow they’re adding soon will surely be a crowd-pleaser.

Additionally, you’ll find paddle boats and kayaking, sports fields, and arts and crafts.

The arcade is a nice touch, too—because sometimes you just need a break indoors.

And their campsites and cabins are ready for you to settle in, the general store handles the last-minute “we forgot this” moments, and bike rentals or golf carts make it easy to get around.

Harmony Ridge Farm & Campgrounds

There’s something easygoing about Harmony Ridge Farm & Campgrounds in the Kittatinny Mountains.

Sprawled across 160 acres, this family-run spot has been welcoming campers since 1963.

It’s got all the outdoor classics—swimming, fishing, hiking—and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors.

And there’s a crazy amount of other activities: paddle boats, shuffleboard, bocce, volleyball, and even a hockey rink.

What’s more, there’s a gaga ball court, a baseball field, and horseshoes, too, so if you’re with family or a big group, it’s one of the best NJ campgrounds you could go to.

Plus, the pavilion is a nice touch for group dinners or having some shade to gather under, and the playground and pool will entertain the kids for hours.

But, for sure, the best aspect of this place is the picturesque view of Kittatinny Mountain.

And, of course, the practical side of camping is covered: camp store for supplies, clean restrooms and showers, and laundry facilities for longer stays.

Chestnut Lake RV Campground

If a quiet retreat in the New Jersey Pine Barrens sounds like your kind of getaway, Chestnut Lake RV Campground might be the perfect fit.

With a peaceful fishing lake and a pool for cooling off, this NJ campground is one of the best places to slow down and enjoy the outdoors––a great spot to fish, read a book by the pool and relax under the trees.

And there’s more to it than the tranquil vibe.

The campground has 189 sites and welcomes pets, so you don’t have to leave your furry friends behind.

Kids can burn off energy at the playground, and for some casual fun, there’s shuffleboard, mini-golf, and a clubhouse with billiards and arcade games.

Laundry facilities are there, too, and the camp store is there for anything you forgot to pack.

However, what makes Chestnut Lake stand out is its location.

It’s a short drive to Atlantic City and Cape May, so it’s a breeze to access beaches, boardwalks, and clubs if you feel like getting your groove on.

Camping New Jersey: Find Your Perfect Spot

Camping in New Jersey will surprise you.

Whether it’s the peaceful escape of the Pine Barrens at Chestnut Lake, the non-stop fun of Jellystone Park, or the beachside convenience of Sun Retreats, there’s a spot here for every camper.

As we’ve seen, every campground in New Jersey is unique in its own right.

Some are perfect for families who want activities like gem mining or mini-golf, while others are built for hikers, fishers, and people who want to be among nature.

And with great locations close to places like Cape May, Atlantic City, and even New York City, the convenience is hard to beat.

The only question left is: Where are you heading first?

P.S. If you’ve got time, why not treat yourself to a meal at one of the best restaurants in NJ?

Yankees Trade Speculation Heats Up as Injuries to Luis Gil and DJ LeMahieu Create Urgent Roster Gaps

By
Paulius Kundzelevicius
-

The New York Yankees, an empire built on power and precision, are suddenly looking a lot like a house of cards, ready to topple at the slightest gust of wind.

The season hasn’t even started, and already, the cracks are showing.

Luis Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, is down with a shoulder issue.

So, the Yankees, of course, are playing the waiting game, hoping an MRI will tell them something they want to hear.

And then there’s DJ LeMahieu, the veteran infielder who was supposed to provide stability at third base, now sidelined with a calf injury.

Suddenly, everything’s in flux.

So what do the Yankees do?

Do they react with the urgency of a team that is supposed to be competing for a title?

Or do they sit back and pretend their depth chart is just fine?

Right now, it feels like the latter.

Key Takeaways
  • Luis Gil’s shoulder injury during a bullpen session leaves the Yankees scrambling, pushing Marcus Stroman—once seen as trade bait—into the No. 5 starter role.
  • DJ LeMahieu’s calf strain in a Spring Training game against the Astros forces the Yankees to weigh internal options or pursue a trade for Ke’Bryan Hayes or Nolan Arenado.
  • With Giancarlo Stanton’s status uncertain and bullpen depth lacking, the Yankees are in talks for J.D. Martinez, Nolan Arenado, and left-handed relievers like Brooks Raley.

Stroman: From Trade Bait to Lifeline

Marcus Stroman is still here, which is something nobody was expecting a month ago.

The Yankees had been dangling him in trade talks, seeing if they could offload his $18.5 million salary for something shinier.

But now, thanks to Gil’s injury, they need him desperately.

And here’s the thing about Stroman—he’s a good pitcher, but is he a good Yankees pitcher?

Well, New York expects dominance, not just reliability.

Stroman is solid, but he doesn’t exactly scream “ace.”

He’s stepping into the No. 5 starter role out of necessity, not because the Yankees want him there.

It’s a situation that makes you wonder: Why wasn’t the rotation built to withstand an injury or two?

The Yankees committed a massive $218 million to Max Fried, so they’re clearly willing to spend when it suits them.

But now, when an injury strikes, they suddenly have to scramble.

It’s just another example of this team constantly reacting instead of preparing.

The Third Base Mess That Should Have Been Avoided

Then we get to DJ LeMahieu.

He’s 36 years old, coming off a mediocre, injury-plagued season.

And yet, the Yankees entered Spring Training acting as if he was going to hold down third base with no problems.

That was always a mistake.

Now, after tweaking his calf, he’s a question mark for Opening Day.

So what happens now?

Both Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza are young, unproven, and far from ideal solutions.

The Yankees should have fixed this problem months ago.

And yet, here we are.

The answer seems obvious to everyone except those who actually make decisions in the Bronx: Go get Nolan Arenado.

Yankees fans are practically begging for it at this point.

The trade rumors have been swirling for months, and now there’s a real reason to pull the trigger.

Arenado is still a defensive wizard at third base, and even though he’s not the MVP-level hitter he used to be, he’d still be an instant upgrade.

But will the Yankees do it?

Probably not.

They’ll claim his contract—$74 million over the next few years—is too big.

Or they’ll decide they don’t want to part with prospects.

Meanwhile, they’re relying on Cabrera, who hit a forgettable .247/.296/.365 last year, and Peraza, who’s still an unknown.

Flirting With J.D. Martinez, But Why?

And while we’re talking about questionable moves, let’s address the J.D. Martinez rumors.

With Giancarlo Stanton’s availability in question, the team has reportedly made “some contact” with free agent J.D. Martinez.

But is signing a 37-year-old Martinez the answer?

Martinez was decent last year for the Mets—.235 average, 16 homers, 69 RBIs—but he’s not exactly the power bat he once was.

If this is just a stopgap solution, that’s fine.

But if the Yankees think he’s some kind of game-changer, then they’re fooling themselves.

Meanwhile, the Bullpen is Still a Puzzle

Remember when the Yankees had an elite bullpen?

That feels like a lifetime ago.

Right now, it’s a patchwork situation.

Tommy Kahnle is gone, off to Detroit on a one-year, $7.75 million deal.

Devin Williams is the new closer, which is great, but who else is there?

Luke Weaver is in the mix.

Ian Hamilton, Mark Leiter Jr., and Jonathan Loaisiga are around.

But it’s not exactly a group that inspires confidence.

The Yankees seem to realize this, which is why they’re sniffing around the free-agent market.

Brooks Raley and Andrew Chafin have been linked to them, both lefties who could provide some stability.

Raley is still recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he wouldn’t even be available until midseason.

Chafin, at 34, had a respectable 3.51 ERA last season but struggled with command.

The problem is that the Yankees are now in a position where they have to make these moves instead of doing them proactively.

It’s the same theme over and over again—scrambling when things go wrong instead of being ahead of the curve.

Oswaldo Cabrera Trade Talks: Just Another Distraction?

Oh, and speaking of infielders, other teams have apparently been calling about Oswaldo Cabrera.

But the Yankees, at least for now, seem unwilling to move him.

Why?

Cabrera is a nice utility piece, but he hasn’t exactly proven he’s a key part of this team’s future.

The Yankees have had chances to upgrade the roster, but they seem determined to hold onto young players who haven’t made the leap.

It’s the same frustrating pattern we’ve seen before.

The Bottom Line: Stop Reacting, Start Acting

So where does that leave us?

The Yankees are a team in flux, and not in a good way.

They’re waiting on MRI results for Luis Gil, hoping their rotation won’t take a devastating hit while also crossing their fingers that DJ LeMahieu’s calf injury won’t derail their already shaky infield plans.

Rather than making bold moves, they’re flirting with stopgap solutions like J.D. Martinez and Andrew Chafin, patching holes rather than building a powerhouse.

And most frustrating of all, they seem unwilling to go all-in when it comes to fixing obvious problems.

This is a franchise built on championships, a team that demands excellence—so why aren’t they acting like it?

The Yankees can’t afford to sit back and wait for good fortune to bail them out.

It’s time to be aggressive, stop reacting, and start shaping their own fate.

Right now, this doesn’t resemble a team preparing to win it all.

It, more so, looks like a club crossing its fingers and praying for luck.

In baseball, luck is just another way to lose, and it is never a strategy.
