English: A chest X-ray demonstrating severe COPD. Note the small size of the heart in comparison to the lungs. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will complete its phase-out of all inhaler medical products containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) by Dec. 31, 2013. This effort is to comply with an international treaty to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the worldwide production of numerous substances, including CFCs, which contribute to ozone depletion. While most inhaler products containing CFCs have already been phased out by the FDA, two products currently remain on the market: Combivent Inhalation Aerosol and Maxair Autohaler. However, these products will no longer be available after the end of this year. People with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who use these inhalers should talk to their health care professional about a prescription for an alternative treatment. Inhalers are critical products for those persons suffering... Read more →

PHILADELPHIA PA (October 23, 2013)--An indictment unsealed today charges former Philadelphia Police Officer Joseph Harvey, 39, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with deprivation of civil rights under color of law, and Philadelphia Police Officer Sean Cahill, 34, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with making a material false statement, announced United States Attorney Zane David Memeger. Both defendants were arrested this morning. According to the indictment, Harvey, while acting under color of law as a police officer with the Philadelphia Police Department, instructed M.C. to remove all her clothing, thereby willfully depriving M.C. of the right, secured and protected by the United States Constitution and the law of the United States, to be free from an unreasonable seizure by a police officer. The indictment further alleges that defendant Cahill falsely claimed that he was with Harvey and that Harvey was never alone with M.C. at the time that M.C. alleged she was instructed by Harvey...

A screenshot from healthcare.gov. by Charles Ornstein ProPublica, Oct. 21, 2013, 11:08 a.m. In some ways, the Affordable Care Act seemed to catch a break last week. Republicans in Congress failed in their attempts to repeal the law or delay its implementation. At the same time, consumers and journalists began reporting success — after many failed attempts — at creating accounts onhealthcare.gov, the online home for the federal insurance marketplaces. They include Sarah Kliff of the Washington Post, Phil Galewitz of Kaiser Health News (after 63 tries) and, yes, me. Heck, the state of Delaware even got its first enrollee, albeit 11 days after healthcare.gov launched. But just as the front-end problems seemed to be getting worked out, even larger problems started popping up: namely, the back-end enrollment system that passes information between the government and insurance companies. Consider this from Bob Laszewski, a plain-spoken consultant, in an interview with... Read more →

PHILADELPHIA PA--Lawrence Wilson, 24, of Philadelphia, was sentenced today to 194 months in prison for his role in a large-scale drug organization responsible for transporting multiple kilograms of cocaine and hundreds of pounds of marijuana to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Wilson’s brother, Michael, ran the organization. In addition to the conspiracy, Lawrence Wilson was a major participant in the kidnapping of two female drug couriers on January 17, 2011. The women had just returned from Los Angeles, California, with four suitcases containing marijuana and cocaine for the organization. While waiting for the suitcases at the baggage claim carousel at the Philadelphia International Airport, a rival drug trafficking organization stole one of the suitcases. Lawrence Wilson and other members of the organization believed the women had set up the robbery. Lawrence Wilson and co-conspirator held the women at gunpoint. Wilson was also involved in money laundering conspiracy, depositing approximately $5,000... Read more →

Volume XVIII No. 42: October 18, 2013 TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE--It's been a long couple of weeks. Billions of dollars wasted on a government shutdown that accomplished nothing and dragged down economic growth as the debt ceiling was threatened. And the deal finally passed sets us up for another throwdown in January of next year. Less seasoned budget watchdogs might look at this with gloom. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What happens in the next couple months can forestall yet another threat of government shutdown or default. Congress has gotten a last minute reprieve and the chance to do what’s right. The choice is up to them. First off, the agreement starts a budget conference committee that is supposed to hammer out the differences between the House and Senate top line discretionary spending numbers by December 13—that’s Friday the 13th to be exact. This is all well... Read more →

from the Wall Street Journal – by Andrew Biggs - AARP—formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons—recently released a report proclaiming that “Social Security Generates Nearly $1.4 Trillion in Economic Activity and Supports More Than Nine Million Jobs.” As great as that sounds, AARP’s study is fundamentally flawed. Last year, Social Security paid out almost $715 billion in retirement, survivors and disability benefits. This money supports seniors, but according to AARP the gains don’t stop there. Retirees spend their benefits on food, for example, creating incomes for the supermarket owner and employees, who then spend these incomes, and so on. The report concludes: “Because of the multiplier effect, every dollar of Social Security paid out translates to almost two dollars in spending in the United States.” Sounds like magic. But what AARP overlooks is the money pulled out of the economy through Social Security payroll taxes to fund... Read more →

By Travis Gettys Police said a white couple was attacked by a group of black teens in a racially motivated assault last week in Brooklyn. Investigators said 30-year-old Ronald Russo had the green light about 7 p.m. Oct. 14 at Avenue U and East 58th Street when a group of about 10 teens illegally crossed the street, reported the New York Daily News.

‘This was no confrontation between them and the Republicans; it was a showdown between them and the people of this country.’ - WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 18 – “There’s a foul odor emanating from the nation’s capital that should have Americans wrinkling their noses. It’s the stench of a political power-grab undertaken by ideologues intent on usurping the Constitutional rights of the people,” according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. Weber said the bargain that ended the partial shutdown of the government and raised the nation’s debt ceiling was a “deal with the devil. We, the people, wanted reasonable concessions in exchange for the extension of credit—things like spending cuts and controls, a health care law that would treat us and those who enacted the law the same way and much-needed checks on the growth and power of government. We got none of these things because... Read more →

published on October 18, 2013/source Youtube The stone formation they destroyed was nearly 200 million years old, but the Boy Scout leaders who toppled it claim it posed an imminent threat. The 3 men responsible, who filmed their activity in Utah's Goblin Valley State Park and uploaded the footage to Facebook, may face felony charges. A copy of the video was posted on YouTube by the Salt Lake Tribune and shows a scene of giddy revelry. One of the men, "Glenn," is seen attempting to push over one of the park's signature stone formations, known as "goblins." When Glenn can't budge the rock, the man filming tells him to "wiggle it." He shifts position and pushes again; seconds later the delicate buttress that held the boulder aloft gives way, and the massive stone topples over. "We have now modified Goblin Valley," one of the men says in the video, soliciting... Read more →

Is your vote really counted when it comes to mail in ballots ???? In a recent situation in the Camden County Metro Police Department the FOP and the PBA recently had an election where it was all mail-in-ballots. The FOP beat the PBA by two votes, 86-84. However, when representatives from the FOP and PBA went to Trenton to count the votes, PERC notified them that they found an additional three votes and they were not going to count them due to a "technicality". The PBA contested the ruling and the election was never certified. During the appeal, PERC admitted they found an additional six more ballots for a total of nine. PERC said 120 police officers did not vote. But, most of the 120 sworn police officers said they mailed in their ballots.

The Cowboys and Eagles entered play on Sunday tied for first in the NFC East with 3-3 records, but Dallas pulled away in the second half and beat Philadelphia 17-3 to move into first all by themselves. A week after a four-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers, Eagles QB Nick Foles was just 11-of-29 for 80 yards and no touchdowns before leaving in the fourth quarter with a head injury. With starter Michael Vick injured on the sidelines, Foles was replaced by rookie Matt Barkley but that did not improve their chances on Sunday. Barkley threw three interceptions on 20 pass attempts.

Fan IQ October 17, 2013 Two seasons into his nine-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, 33-year-old netminder Ilya Bryzgalov was never comfortable in the orange, white and black jersey and ended up being bought out by the team this past off-season. That was strike one. Strike two occurred today when Bryzgalov wasreleased from his tryout with the East Coast Hockey League’s (ECHL) Las Vegas Wranglers. According to ESPN hockey scribe Pierre Lebrun, Bryzgalov and his agent Rich Winter are hoping that he does not strike out. Winter told Lebrun that his client is waiting for the right opportunity and will continue to train until that opportunity comes along. It is kind of hard to believe that no NHL team has a need for him this season. Yes, Bryzgalov is quirky and yes, he had two tough years in Philadelphia but deep down somewhere in Bryzgalov, there is more than a... Read more →

ARCHBISHOP CHAPUT’S WEEKLY COLUMN: PHILADELPHIA PA--Exactly 15 years ago this fall, America’s bishops issued a pastoral letter called Living the Gospel of Life. Even today, with the passage of time, this remains no ordinary Church text. I believed then, and I believe now, that it’s the best document ever issued by the U.S. bishops on the priorities of Catholic engagement in our nation’s public life. In writing it, the bishops sought to apply Pope John Paul II’s great encyclical Evangelium Vitae (“The Gospel of Life”) to the American situation. The heart of their statement, paragraph No. 23, stresses that: “Opposition to abortion and euthanasia does not excuse indifference to those who suffer from poverty, violence and injustice. Any politics of human life must work to resist the violence of war and the scandal of capital punishment. Any politics of human dignity must seriously address issues of racism, poverty, hunger, employment,... Read more →

By Mike Gotham Gym owner Rob Piela will make you a Lord of the Ring. Exercise motivation can be tough for some people from summer into fall and then winter. However, just because it is getting colder outside doesn’t mean you can’t toughen up with a fun health and fitness regimen. One of the most important plans is finding the right gym – one that is fun and stimulating. I recently found a fantastic alternative: Gotham Gym, a private facility in the West Village (600 Washington St), features a boxing ring and passionate trainers and members. The Gotham vibe is edgy. “We want our members to feel at home here,” explains owner Rob Piela.

October 17, 2013 Bill Donohue comments on the role that religion is playing in the race for the new mayor of New York City: New York is a secular town, but mayoral candidates usually say at least something about the public role of religion. Neither Joe Lhota, the Republican candidate, nor Bill de Blasio, the Democratic candidate, has said anything. It's as if religious liberty issues don't exist. In terms of their outreach to religious communities, they are both bending over backward to please Jews and Muslims, but Catholics are all but invisible to them. Is there a synagogue in Brooklyn that these two men haven't visited? Is there an African-American church that de Blasio hasn't spoken in? Just yesterday, both Lhota and de Blasio said the public schools should close on two Muslim holidays. "The origins of this nation [are] people of many different faiths coming together," said de...

FOX SPORTS OCTOBER 17, 2013 Tony Romo and Nick Foles hook up Sunday in Philadelphia. Updated Oct 17, 2013 4:39 PM ET The Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. For the love of Luis Zendejas, will one of them please stop sputtering? If you’re too young to remember Zendejas, you’re too young to remember when the NFC East wasn’t a punch line. We’ve all enjoyed a good laugh at Jerry Jones’ expense — but enough is enough. As much as you may hate overhyped, big-market bullies, the NFL is a better place when the NFC East has a fearsome team (or teams). We mean no disrespect to the West, South or any other direction — but let’s be honest. While teams like the Seahawks and Chiefs make great stories, how many people spit up their coffee when Kansas City is discussed over breakfast? Then there are the Cowboys,... Read more →

Harper pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of conspiracy and willful failure to file income tax returns, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.

By David A. Love October 16th marks the 45th anniversary of an iconic moment in sports history, in African-American history and in civil rights history. On this day in 1968, at the Olympics Games in Mexico City, two black U.S. medalists—Tommie Smith and John Carlos—took the victory stand with their heads bowed and eyes closed, their hands raised with black gloves, and fists clenched. Their “black power salute” during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner was a silent protest by these athletes against racial injustice, and their statement, viewed then as a controversial combination of Olympic sports and politics, sent shock waves throughout the games. Although the now legendary photo of the two men standing with clenched fists is universally recognized, the story behind the story is seldom mentioned, much less taught in schools. The actions of Smith—the gold medalist in the 200-meter race—and Carlos—the bronze winner—must be viewed within... Read more →
