The federal court of appeals in Philadelphia today blocked Delaware's attempt to implement sports betting next month. Looks like people wanting to bet sports in the area will have to stick to bookies Bodog flying to Vegas.
In case you didn't know who you were casting your ballot for yesterday, you're not alone. Columnist John Baer proposes that maybe electing judges isn't the best way to fill seats on the bench. Meanwhile, primary election results are available here.
Beautiful morning, isn't it? But the clouds are rolling in again, as the region prepares to break a record for consecutive days of rain for this time of year.
A private eye testified yesterday that Fumo hired him to snoop on Ed Rendell, a long string of political enemies, his own son, an ex-girlfriend, a former wife, and two topless dancers.

Meanwhile, the Obama campaign has received threats at several of its Pennsylvania offices and is asking labor unions to help provide volunteer security at 27 of the offices between now and Election Day, including six in Philadelphia.
Someone sent a threatening letter containing a suspicious substance to Barack Obama's South Philadelphia campaign office at 15th and Christian streets. The office was evacuated, but initial tests determined the substance was brown sugar. Meanwhile, McCain was unveiling his new plan for the economy in Montgomery County.
This weekend a number of political superstars will be coming to the region, including Sarah Palin, who'll be dropping the first puck at the Flyers' regular-season opener at the Wachovia Center.
A second-grade student at Harrington Avery D School in West Philly brought a bag of marijuana to school yesterday and showed it off to his friends. A classmate notified the teacher, who notified police, and the cops then searched the home of the child's father, where they found more marijuana and crack cocaine. He was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and narcotics offenses.
Lane closures and traffic restrictions.
Some kids got sick at Council Rock High School North in Newtown, Bucks County yesterday after taking a drug called Snurf. We'd make fun of the Daily News for doing their research on Snurf at the Urban Dictionary, but really, that's where we'd probably end up, too.
The Penn State football team is in trouble again. Coach Joe Paterno said last night that defensive end Maurice Evans, defensive tackle Abe Koroma, and tight end Andrew Quarless would not play tomorrow against Oregon State after they were linked to a marijuana investigation at their campus apartment Tuesday night. He also kicked reserve cornerback Willie Harriott off the team for an unrelated issue.
A Philadelphia police officer was responding to a call to assist another officer around 1AM this morning when his police car collided with another car at a downtown intersection. The officer is listed in critical condition, but his prognosis is good.

Yesterday, amid criticism that they were seeking to profit from their child's death, Andrea and Daniel Kelly were dropped from their lawsuit against the city.

They also said if the parents are convicted of a crime, any money recovered in the lawsuit will go to Danieal Kelly's siblings.
Leonard P. Luchko, a top computer technician for State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo pleaded guilty yesterday and told a federal judge that he followed Fumo's orders to erase e-mails being sought by federal agents investigating the powerful Philadelphia Democrat. Apparently he failed to erase incriminating e-mails from his own devices, however.

Some parents send their children off to school with apples, and others write lunch box notes professing love to their embarrassed progeny. Some send their precious monsters off with Lunchables, the food-like product that will outlive us all, laughing it up with the Twinkies and the cockroaches. But some parents apparently send their kids to school with drugs.

It was just not a good week to be a lawyer with a drug problem. But then, we suppose, when is it? Criminal defense attorney D. Scott Perrine, who was arrested back in October for allegedly bringing cocaine into a prison facility, was ordered to prison—the very same prison, in fact, that he allegedly brought the cocaine into and was arrested at—after missing a hearing last week. We're pretty sure one of the first rules of being a criminal defense attorney is to avoid being a criminal defendant, but we could be wrong.
