CNBNEWS.net received a number of comments yesterday, (March 11, 2013) on the article Gloucester High\’s Stefano Okoro Among an Elite Group of Basketball Players.
Some of the people suggested that the basketball coach, Kevin Hagan scheduled an extra game so Stefano could break the school record for most points. Okoro scored a total of 2,128 points during his four years playing basketball at Gloucester City High School. The comments, some of which were disparaging, were closed so more facts could be gathered.
We contacted School Superintendent Joseph Rafferty (photo) for an explanation. Rafferty stated,
\”The boys basketball team played the allowable number of games by the State of New Jersey, which is 26 games.
\”The boys season started with a 24 games schedule. There were two additional games added, which included St.Joseph in Hammonton and West Deptford. This brought the team up to the allowable limit. The boys did not play Highland due to a snow day cancellation.\”

Judge Milton Tingling ruled that the measures to restrict soda servings to a maximum of 16 ounces (470 milliliters) in fast-food and other restaurants, was an \”arbitrary\” measure and he was barring the plan \”permanently.\”
The mayor responded immediately on Twitter, saying he planned \”to appeal the sugary drinks decision as soon as possible, and we are confident the measure will ultimately be upheld.\”

(cnbnews.net)Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, \’Father, my dog is dead. Could ya\’ be sayin\’ a mass for the poor creature?\’
Father Patrick replied, \’I\’m afraid not, we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane and there\’s no tellin\’ what they believe. Maybe they\’ll do something for the creature.\’
Muldoon said, \’I\’ll go right away, Father. Do ya\’ think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?\’
Father Patrick exclaimed, \’Sweet Mary , Mother of Jesus! Why didn\’t ya\’ tell me the dog was Catholic?

Good Riddance, Say Policy Experts
New York, NY / Washington DC – Yesterday a New York State judge issued an injunction against New York Mayor Bloomberg\’s ban on the sale of large sugary drinks at New York City restaurants and other locations.
In a stinging rebuke of Mayor Bloomberg, Judge Milton Tingling ruled that the drink regulations were \”fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences\” that would be difficult to enforce with consistency \”even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole.\”
