R.I.P. Jose “Chequi†Torres
When we think of the world of boxing and its inhabitants, probably the last thing we consider is the intellect of the persons wearing the gloves and trunks. Yet, by virtue of writing two of the best books on two of boxing’s most compelling figures; writing a regular city side column for The New York POST; being a political activist and campaigner for Bobby Kennedy, as well as being a regular at legendary literary boite, Elaine’s, former world light heavyweight champion Jose “Chequi†Torres transcended the sport and became a man of letters.

by Tom Dwyer
Walk through the halls of the jazz music department at New Jersey City University, and you can’t help but be struck by the lush and professional sounds of music students practicing: horn players getting down with a Miles Davis tune, jazz ensembles playing intricate arrangements of sophisticated big band charts, and vocalists warming up to a hip, smooth song. The NJCU Jazz Studies Program (part of the Music, Dance & Theatre Department) has become one of the best programs in the country to train serious young jazz musicians. Students from all corners of the country are finding that NJCU’s Jazz Program offers world-class jazz teachers, personal one-on-one study, and the chance to sit in with some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world.Â

Jen Hobbs - Model and Actress
By Evelyn Bonilla

But who stated that you need to be at least 5’8″ tall or taller (especially for runway) or that your body weight and proportions need to flatter your height. There are all types of models in the business that are inclusive of fashion, fitness, bikini, fine-art, and body-part models. So to typecast yourself, and not give yourself the opportunity, is to give up on the modeling dream.
So, giving up is not an option, just ask New Jersey (Hudson County) model Jen Hobbs, a beautiful, petite brunette. Hobbs has been a successful commercial model for the past few years. She has done all types of modeling from catalogue, brochures to body-part modeling. She is especially well-known as the Ped-Egg model, a product that helps feet reveal their smooth healthy skin.
