\"gonzaga\"The efforts of many Jesuit universities to \”rebrand\” and water down their Catholic values is resulting in a widespread issue of misleading unsuspecting parents and students, argued Jim Infantine, the president of the Gonzaga University alumni group 1887 Trust, in a recentpiece for First Things. He suggested that, contrary to popular belief, Jesuit universities can be excellent in all areas, both academic and religious, if only Catholic identity is given priority.

SHOULD YOU BE WORRIED ? LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP SCHOOL BOARD

 

 

CNB Tips and Snippets:

 

by William E. Cleary Sr. 

 

SHOULD YOU BE WORRIED?–After watching the news report about an oil train derailment in West Virginia, it was good to see Conrail workers in the area installing new railroad ties and track ballast. The ballast is used to bear the load from the railroad ties, to facilitate drainage of water, and also to keep down vegetation that might interfere with the track structure. This also serves to hold the track in place as the trains roll by. It is typically made of crushed stone, although ballast has sometimes consisted of other, less suitable materials. The new material was placed along the Conrail line that runs south and north from Camden through Gloucester City, Brooklawn, Westville and beyond. 

 

The project was long overdue. Many of the railroad ties were rotten and broken. 

 

For some time now trains carrying flammable Bakken crude oil, just like the one in West Virginia, use that route to reach the Sunoco refinery in West Deptford. The crude oil product is also shipped to a refinery in Linden, NJ.

FACEBOOK ALONE CHOOSES U.S. PRESIDENTS | cnbnews.net

CNB EDITOR\’S NOTE: George Smith of Athens, Alabama recently wrote to Senator Jeff Sessions about Facebook and how it has unfairly influenced the outcome of the presidential election. His letter appears below: 

19 February, 2015


Senator Jeff Sessions
326 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-0104

Mark Zuckerberg and others[01, 02] suggests that Facebook gets to pick \"If-youre-not-outraged-youre-not-paying-attention\"

the president of the United States and that it has happened twice
already. Investigation into the Leader v. Facebook Washington judicial
corruption scandal has uncovered a scheme to manipulate U.S. elections.
This scheme appears to have already influenced the 2008 and 2012
elections unduly. Political opponents of candidates favored by
Facebook\’s key management, shareholders, attorneys and advertisers (the
Facebook Club) are not given equal time and access.[02] Electioneering
on Facebook is unregulated and unaudited. It is under the complete
control of private parties who exhibit a greater than 9 to 1 bias for
Democratic candidates. The heavy reliance on unregulated social media
in electioneering has destroyed the sacrosanct principle of \”free and
fair elections.\” Facebook\’s programmers (self-described \”hackers\”)
control ALL data and access to that data. This includes the U.S.
electioneering data for both political parties.

JUDGE WONT GRANT LOWER BAIL FOR ALLEGED DEPTFORD CHILD SEX OFFENDER

\"Audiosonic-1\"

 

 

WOODBURY NJ–Citing his concern that deportation might precede prosecution, a Superior Court judge today (2/20) denied any further reduction in the bail of Carlos Calderon (DOB 10/16/83), of Deptford NJ, charged with sexually assaulting a girl under age 13 in Deptford on at least two dates in 2014.

 

Judge Kevin T. Smith said the \”strong likelihood of deportation, even without conviction,\” convinced him to leave Calderon’s bail at $300,000, which had been reduced by court order from $800,000 at the time of his arrest on 2/11/15.

CNB HUNTING/FISHING DELAWARE: Hearing on Striped Bass Harvest Tonight

Division of Fish & Wildlife to hold Feb. 23 public hearing

on options to reduce recreational striped bass harvest

All Atlantic states required to reduce harvest by 25 percent

 

DOVER (Feb. 23, 2015) – DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23 on Delaware’s proposed options to reduce the recreational striped bass harvest by 25 percent as required by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). The hearing will be held in DNREC’s auditorium in the Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.

 

Delaware must comply with the ASMFC’s changes to the Atlantic Striped Bass Fisheries Management Plan as approved in October 2014. While the striped bass stock is not currently overfished, the ASFMC requires a 25 percent reduction in fishing mortality in 2015 to avoid overfishing the declining spawning stock in the coming years.
