2 die as Jeep crashes into I-95 accident scene; driver charged with DUI homicide

It was the worst place at the worst time.
Motoring up Interstate 95 en route from one New Year’s party to another just before 3 a.m. yesterday, Joseph Price got a flat tire. So he rolled to a stop in the freeway’s fast lane.
On any other night, the roadway might have been emptier - and the consequences less tragic.

When the entourage arrived at the Riverside Correctional Center for women, Nutter received a foot-stomping, hand-clapping, rock-star welcome.
His message was the same. Have a reentry plan. Play by the rules. Stay away from bad influences. And don’t return.
“Never, never, never come back to this place,” Nutter said to the about 125 women in attendance.

A prehistoric beast in Harrisburg?
By Amy Worden
Inquirer Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG - For nearly 12,000 years, the giant beast lay buried under a peat bog in the Poconos, until a dredging machine accidentally hooked its massive skull in 1968.
Workers quickly abandoned their peat-mining expedition and started collecting bones, gathering about 90 percent of its skeleton, the most nearly intact mastodon ever found in Pennsylvania.
The Marshalls Creek Mastodon - named for the tiny community near East Stroudsburg where it was found - has been part of the State Museum of Pennsylvania’s collection since, but the public has never seen it in its entirety.
That could change this month.

Responding to a sharp increase in homicides stemming from domestic violence, the Philadelphia Police Department announced plans this week to change how officers handle domestic abuse cases.
While Philadelphia’s overall homicide rate has dropped about 9 percent and all violent crime in the city is down compared with this time last year, there have been 35 domestic homicides since January — a 67 percent increase from 2008. The police say two additional killings are still being investigated and are likely to be added to the tally.
“It’s something we have to confront because domestic violence homicide is a crime where you know who the perpetrator is and there are often warning signs that the crime is coming,” said Patricia Giorgio-Fox, the deputy policy commissioner.
She added that 21 of the 35 domestic homicide victims had made a total of 178 calls to the police, and some of the callers had restraining orders against the individuals suspected or convicted of killing them.
The new police protocol will involve better data so that officers know when they answer a call if there have been previous reports of domestic violence from the address and whether a restraining order has been obtained.
one thing that I don’t think I’ll ever get used to at work is how many women tell us that they are (or have been) involved in abusive relationships.
