Heidy ho, Philly! There's a "Chill Gripping Plains and Rockies" and the Phils are up a game in the NLDS. On our side of the Mississippi, it's looking like sunny skies and 70 degrees. And now, Headlines!

Hey Friday! How are you? Oh, you're going to hit 90 again today? And then rain some more, thanks to Hurricane Bill? How delightful. We love August. No really. And now, headlines:
• The police released a sketch of the suspect who shot a young African man on Monday in Elmwood Park.
• A school bus collided with a pickup truck this morning in New Castle County. 9 were minorly injured, including 8 students. Route 9 has been closed due to clean up.
• Updates from yesterday: More power to the 100 year old man who has been able to sustain his injuries, including some blood on his brain, after he got robbed by a man maybe 70 years his junior. Naturally, neighbors are pissed.

Hey Friday, Philly! Seems like you all pulled out for your boy Shane yesterday as it was announced that he won the final spot on the All-Star game roster. High fives all around! Go eat some Musubi and dance around in a grass skirt and a coconut bra tonight in celebration. We know we will.


• As it seems, the events that occured at Valley Swim club are taking more of a turn. It's become national news and everyone is pointing fingers at each other. One of the club's directors stated that the swim club doesn't discriminate and cited people of the black, Asian, Jewish and Russian communities as members. The state Human Relations Commissions is now investigating the allegations.
• Ladies, be careful out there. There's a reported groper hanging out on the Broad Street Line and previous attacks have occured during the day. Philly.com has a photo of the suspect from security cameras.
• Short Stories: Water main break in S.W. Philly. We haven't heard the last of the city pool closings. NFL bound rookie shot in Cheltenham.

Happy morning, everyone! As it's Thursday, we're now down to the final balloting hours to send Shane Victorino to the All-Star game. Cast away, little ones. As it turns out, Carlos Beltran of the Mets will be out of the game due to injury, and since Cholly is the team's manager, he may be able to finagle Victorino onto the roster regardless of whether or not Shane wins the Final Vote. But that doesn't matter; it's PRIDE people! But really, let us know in the comments, did Mayor Nutter show up at your door to ask you to vote for Shane?


• A swim club in Huntingdon Valley allegedly kicked a group of campers out of their pool based on race. The camp had set up prior arrangements to use the pool throughout the summer, but once the campers arrived, things got heated. There were allegations of racial comments made by club members and a week later the club sent the check back to the camp without a reason for the refund.
• Updates on Rian Thal: The neighbor, who was arraigned earlier week, has been arrested. Police are still looking for the man who left the apartment after the shootings and they still believe it's a robbery gone horribly awry.
• Not really Philly related, but the third Oscar Mayer died on Monday night. It's really not a good time to be famous, anymore. We plan on eating eight bologna sandwiches for lunch in his honor.

Hey there, Philadelphia. How 'bout those Phillies? Did any of you see the slaughter that was the 22-1 game last night over the Reds? Hot dawg. And we're playing them tonight and Wednesday, too!

Good Morning, Philadelphia! Welcome back to your desk. We apologize for the late news, but we're still adjusting to our Monday morning just as we suspect that you are. So, pour yourself another cup of coffee and settle in with today's highlights.


• 20 tons of trash and 130 portapotties were hauled from the Parkway this weekend. No official number yet, but they're saying "hundreds of thousands" of people showed up to Philly for the Welcome America festivities.
• The weekend wasn't without it's sad stories, however. Nationwide, five people died from fireworks, one accident occuring in Quakertown.
• Watch where you park your car on weekday mornings. The PPA is installing 17 truck loading zones where ONLY delivery trucks will be allowed to park from 6am to 10am. The PPA feels the measures are warranted due to the backups on Chestnut Street that the delivery trucks create.
