This is troubling: "The rate of brain cancer among Phillies who played at the Vet between 1971 and 2003 is about three times the average rate among adult men."

Er... in the early 1990s I was a university cheerleader whose uni played football at Vet Stadium. I didn't spend nearly as much time at the Vet as these baseball players, but it's all kinda scary re we were all exposed to.

No surprises that Philly's local FOX affiliate goes overboard covering crime. I mean, how else are you going to scare old suburban folks?

Potentially good news in Philly re: gun violence--if this kind of programming can continue to attract funding. It's a shame the state #GOP refuses to allow Philly the tools it really needs to put a dent in crime, but they benefit if they can point to an urban area's crime statistics to scare the old folks come election time.

As an alum, I am absolutely ashamed of #TempleUniversity for their bullshit union-busting tactics here. They also just cut off striking workers’ health insurance.

Temple won't see a dime from me in alumni giving--EVER!--if this is what they're about.
