Bear hunt brings out protesters

HACKENSACK, N.J. -- New Jersey has agreed to permit more bear-hunt opponents at one of its key check-in sites for a planned protest Saturday and allow a member of the group to photograph a carcass as it's weighed.

The settlement came as the parties appeared Thursday before a state Supreme Court justice as part of an appeal by the Animal Protection League of New Jersey. Judge Barry Albin encouraged the two sides to hash out a deal instead of moving forward with the process, an attorney for the animal rights group said.

Women's World Cup star hits new high at World Trade Center site

Heather O'Reilly, the New Jersey native who helped lead the United States to the Women's World Cup final this month, stared out of a utility elevator as it sped 800 feet up the steel frame of One World Trade Center on Friday.

"I'm freaking out a little," said the 26-year-old midfielder, who scored the first goal in a 3-0 shutout against Colombia. "I wasn't afraid of heights when I was younger."
