Do You See Me?
A few loaves of bread scattered among the debris are the only food around the house. “Look at me! Do you see me? I'm tired, I can't find any water and I sleep on the floor," cries Abd El-Rahman, a resident of Qale'et El-Kabsh in Sayeda Zeinab and a victim of the fire that took away his home and dozens more at the end of March. .
Mayor Michael Nutter’s Inaugural Address
We need to send an unmistakable message to the small minority who are holding the rest of us hostage that we will no longer tolerate their behavior. You will no longer terrorize our neighborhoods. No longer will you hold us hostage in our own city. In 2007, Philadelphia had 390 homicides. Our population is approximately 1.4 million. If we had a population the size of New York -- over 8 million people -- our murder rate would be over 2,200. New York has had 484 murders. We are going to change the mentality of those who think that they can get away with carrying and using illegal weapons on our streets. Today I will ask Chief Charles Ramsey, my appointee for Police Commissioner, to identify the neighborhoods in Philadelphia where we have a crime emergency.
Spears seeks psychiatric help
Britney Spears' manager has said the troubled pop star has "mental issues" and has seen a psychiatrist. US talk show host Barbara Walters said Sam Lufti made the revelation in a phone conversation. He told her the singer is suffering from a treatable mental illness. Spears was recently hospitalised after police were called to her home to settle a custody stand-off over her two sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one. The pop princess lost primary custody of her sons to Kevin Federline after her life spun out of control following their divorce in November 2006. Since then, she has spent time in rehab, been charged with hit-and-run driving and exhibited unusual behavior. .

Pollin has coughed up a second luxury box for the council members. Council Chairman Vince Gray handed out January's tickets to each council member at the monthly council breakfast Tuesday morning. Council members immediately tore into the envelopes and began thumbing through the stack of free tickets. "Dancing with the stars, this is sweet! I live for this," councilmember David Catania exclaimed. He made sure to point out that he was just kidding and has never watched the reality television show. But the council members quickly noticed they didn't all have the same tickets or the same box. Gray pointed out that the tickets are all for luxury boxes, just not the same box every night. The council members spent the rest of their meeting swapping tickets with each other trying to get to the events they wanted to see.
Stetson's say: Early Super Bowl betting thoughts
This Super Bowl line is starting to make everybody a bit nervous. At the open, most linesmakers had the New England Patriots favored by just under a couple of converted touchdowns. Then New York Giants bettors weighed in, flooding sportsbooks with underdog bets on Sunday and early Monday, forcing books to drop the line gradually. It bottomed out when celeb paparazzi scooped sports sleuths with footage of Tom Brady limping to his super hot model girlfriend's New York apartment with flowers in hand and a walking cast on his right foot. Patriots fans held their collective breath (the Golden Boy with a wonky wheel? No, it can't be!), while bettors piled on the Giants, keeping the line around 11 ½ until word came out that Brady had ditched the boot to get down at Butter, a swanky New York nightclub.
Fixit: Working on road or no, go slow
Q Signs on parts of Interstate Hwy. 35W that are under construction give the speed limit as 45 miles per hour. Is that only when equipment and workers are on the job? Drivers certainly aren't doing that speed in my observations. A Reduced speeds in construction zones are in effect whether or not there is work being done, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Sometimes lower speeds are necessary to safely maneuver through lane changes and other unexpected road conditions that occur on roadways under construction.
