• 'Jeopardy!' clue shouts out Bergen County. Did you get it right? (northjersey.com) — Fort Lee got a national shoutout on "Jeopardy! Masters" in a clue asking contestants to name the New Jersey county that includes Hackensack, Fort Lee, and Teaneck—yet none of the players rang in. Bergen County residents online celebrated knowing the answer, while some sympathized that the very local question stumped non–New Jersey contestants.
   

• NYPD finds a massive stash of cocaine in a NYC storage unit in its biggest bust in decades (pulptastic.com) — Federal agents first tied this major cocaine trafficking case to an earlier seizure in Fort Lee then tracked a suspect to a Queens storage unit where NYPD intercepted about 586 pounds of suspected cartel cocaine. Authorities say the multi-agency probe links New Jersey and New York in one of the city's largest narcotics busts in decades, with several arrests and more suspects sought.
