Big cats are the new big idea for reducing the deer population in the Northeast, where growing numbers of bucks and does wander through backyards and onto roads -- where they pose a danger to themselves and humans. A group of scientists is calling for re-introducing cougars into states like New York and New Jersey in an attempt to lower the exploding whitetail deer population. They say the 220-pound predators are a natural solution to a problem that causes 1.2 milllion car accidents per year, including 200 fatalities. "Recolonization by large caivores could provide an efficient solution to the problem of deer overabundance,” wrote study authors Laura Prugh, a wildlife scientist at the...

A New Jersey suburb known for its tree-lined streets and stately, multimillion-dollar homes has been transformed into a battleground over both a proposed mosque and the free speech rights of residents who oppose the project. Beards, a township of about 27,000 an hour west of New York City, has been cleaved by controversy since 2011, when its Plaing Board took up a proposal for a 4,250-square-foot mosque in a residential neighborhood known as Liberty Coer. The applicant, Islamic Society of Basking Ridge, is led by a former Beards mayor and has filed a federal civil rights suit accusing members of the board of religious discrimination in ultimately rejecting the project.

There’s no place like home, there’s no place like … wait, that one’s pretty close. A Long Island couple says an architect ripped off the blueprint to their one-of-a-kind dream house — to build a carbon copy in the town next door. Rivka Fortgang, an interior and exterior home designer from Five Towns, and her husband, Seth are now suing to block the mansion on Villa Place in Cedarhurst from being built because it will look nearly identical to their own home on Auerbach Lane in Lawrence, just a mile away. The Fortgangs “constructed their unique home from the ground up, creating a visually distinctive and unique exterior stucco façade” in 2005 and copyrighted the original architectural dr...

DEVELOPING … House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz suggested Thursday that the FBI’s decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton despite her mishandling of classified information represents a “double standard,” as he kicked off a highly anticipated hearing with FBI Director James Comey. Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he was “mystified” by the FBI conclusion not to recommend prosecution. “It seems to a lot of us that the average Joe … if they had done what you laid out in your statement, that they’d be in handcuffs,” Chaffetz said. “And I think there is a legitimate conce that there is a double standard -- if your name isn’t Clinton or you’re not part of the powerful elit...
