Pennsauken Tech (47) at Gloucester City (56) – Boys Basketball
,
GLOUCESTER CITY NJ–Stefano Okoro joined an elite group Monday as the Gloucester High School senior joined Keith Gorman and Megan Light, both 1998 graduates, as the third Lion to reach the 2000-point mark as the Lions’ boys basketball team dumped Pennsauken Tech, 56-47, in a non-league matchup.
Okoro needed 24 points heading into the contest and hit that number on the nose. Eighteen of his 24 came in the second half, including 11 in the fourth quarter.

Volume XVIII No. 7: February 15, 2013
While Washington is ringing its hands about the automatic across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is digging taxpayers even deeper into debt by pushing a smorgasbord of wasteful dinosaur projects.
Exhibit A: Instead of prioritizing funding on the most economically justified and critically important projects, the Corps is reviving ancient duds like the New Madrid Floodway/St. John’s Bayou project. The New Madrid floodway is an old Mississippi river channel in Missouri’s boot heel. Levees surround the floodway, except for a small gap at the downstream end (near New Madrid, Missouri). When river levels get high enough to threaten flooding in Cairo, Illinois and other cities upstream the Corps \”operates\” the floodway by blowing up parts of the levee, sending millions of gallons of floodwaters across the sparsely populated farm land in the floodway—preventing flooding in Cairo. The water returns back to the river through the gap.

ST. LOUIS (CN) – St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church has won a long-running battle with the St. Louis Archdiocese for control of its own assets, but will no longer claim to be Roman Catholic.
In a joint statement, the archdiocese said it will dismiss its appeal and that the judgment of the trial court is final. St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Bryan Hettenbach affirmed St. Stanislaus\’ ownership of its property in March last year.
St. Stanislaus agreed to abstain from representing itself as affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. No money changed hands. Attorneys told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the rest of the agreement was confidential.
