Letters: When Will Verizon Fios be Available in Gloucester City? | cnbnews.net

Dear Mayor James and members of Gloucester City Council,

 

 

 In order for a town to attract professional individuals these days, people need to know that the infrastructure of the future in technology will be able to support them. I hope Gloucester City realizes this and would make a concerted effort to have the whole city wired. 

 As for where the Chatham Square apartments are being converted to townhouses next to Meadowbrook Run, since not a single one has been sold yet, maybe the city could turn it into a technology park to recruit technology based workers. That would be one step the city could take to show we are truly looking towards the future and adding good paying jobs in this city.

Eckel: Nick Foles is not a shoo-in to make the Philadelphia Eagles roster

 

 

\"\" Mark Eckel/The Times May 5, 2013, 6:00:00 AM EDT

 

 

Nobody, except Chip Kelly, knows what the Eagles offense will look like when the regular season opens in Washington, Sept. 9.

And nobody, and that might even include Kelly, knows who the startingquarterback will be that night against the Redskins.

Through mini-camp and the few OTA practices, Kelly hasn’t given the media even a peek at what things are going to look like, and he probably won’t until the league says he has to when training camp starts in late July.

As far as the quarterback situation goes, it’s anybody’s guess right now and that’s what everyone is doing.

Meandering w/ Mark: Movie \”Girl Most Likely\” set in Ocean City NJ, filmed in New York

\"GirlMostLikely\"CNBNews
Mark Matthews

The first trailer for a new major movie set in Ocean City, NJ has been released. The trailer also shows a scene taking place in Atlantic City. Unfortunately media sites indicate the film was shot in New York. Are State Tax Credits to blame?

Kristen Wiig scored huge with Bridesmaids, and this summer she is back in a romantic comedy called \”Girl Most Likely\” co-starring Glee\’s Darren Criss and also featuring well known actors Annette Bening and Matt Dillon.

I make this assessment only from viewing the trailer, but the movie seems to have a clear common theme with another movie set in this area \”Silver Lining Playbook\”. Both have the storyline of \”Adult child needs to live back at home after suffering mental lapses\”.

\"TCNJTCNJ Lions (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



Ewing, NJ … The College of New Jersey football program continued to enjoy its relationship with the Special Olympics New Jersey as they hosted a clinic and flag football game at their facility at TD Sports Field in Lawrenceville.

It marks the third straight year that the Lions’ football team and staff took the short ride to the SONJ campus to spend an action-filled evening with a large group of excited and impressionable athletes. Led by head coach Eric Hamilton, the players and coaches held an interactive drill session that concentrated both the offensive and defensive sides of the game. TCNJ ran the workouts with the same organization and intensity as they do at their home practices in Lions’ Stadium.

FDA to Investigate Added Caffeine | cnbnews

May 3,2013

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that, in response to a trend in which \"Ucm350617\" caffeine is being added to a growing number of products, the agency will investigate the safety of caffeine in food products, particularly its effects on children and adolescents.

Michael R. Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine at FDA, answers questions about his concerns and possible FDA actions.

Q: The announcement comes just as Wrigley\’s (a subsidiary of Mars) is promoting a new pack of gum with eight pieces, each containing as much caffeine as half a cup of coffee. Is the timing coincidental?

A: The gum is just one more unfortunate example of the trend to add caffeine to food. Our concern is about caffeine appearing in a range of new products, including ones that may be attractive and readily available to children and adolescents, without careful consideration of their cumulative impact.

One pack of this gum is like having four cups of coffee in your pocket. Caffeine is even being added to jelly beans, marshmallows, sunflower seeds and other snacks for its stimulant effect.

South Carolina House Makes Implementing Obamacare a Crime

May 3,2013

By DAN MCCUE /COURTHOUSE NEWS

 

\"\" (CN) – South Carolina lawmakers passed a bill criminalizing implementation of President Barack Obama\’s health care reform law, which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld last year.
The bill, which the state House approved Wednesday by a vote of 65-39, declares the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act \”null and void.\” If passed by the state Senate and signed by Gov. Nikki Haley, the law will be called the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act.
Supporters of the bill say that the U.S. Supreme Court erred in upholding a key provision of the health care law that imposes penalties on eligible citizens who choose not to purchase health insurance.
