Shane Victorino Signs $39 Million Deal With Red Sox

The Flying Hawaiian won't be coming back to the Phillies' center field after all. Boston players seem to be stoked about the trade (although fans are looking a little cool), but the Inquirer's Matt Gelb thinks it's a sign of how crazy the market is that a 32-year-old who had a career-worst year in 2012 is still worth $13 million per season.

Ex Penn-State Prez to Court: “I Got Places to Go!”

Graham Spanier is apparently keeping busy as he prepares to face numerous counts of child endangerment, perjury, and obstruction of justice in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

For Train-Wreck Evacuees, the Party Don’t Stop

If not for that totally awful vinyl chloride spill in Paulsboro we mentioned earlier, this totally awesome group of Paulsborites would not have, like, finally met and, like, totally gotten down to some serious partying last night at the motel Conrail rented for them: Greenwich Township police say they responded to a disturbance at a Motel 6 on Swedesboro Avenue in the Gibbstown section about 10:28 p.m. Monday. Once there, they were informed of a large, out-of-control party at the motel. Police arrested 22 people, including six juveniles. All were charged with disorderly conduct. But additional charges are pending for possession of marijuana,...

A giant Union Jack will get a distinctly green treatment at the PHS Exhibit, which will celebrate the 185th anniversary and latest garden and design innovations...

The Philly Visitors Bureau Hates Philly

The PCVB — oh, excuse us, PHLCVB — has come up with a scheme that undoubtedly sounded brilliant in pitch meetings but boils down to lazy-webbing its way to marketing the city: A new marketing effort by the agency is centered on the idea of encouraging its partners — including government agencies, nonprofit organizations, corporations, colleges and universities — to help promulgate its stories about Philadelphia as a “modern renaissance city.” The agency is calling those open-source aspects of the effort unusual, if not unique. Materials like images, videos, fact sheets and logos will be available for sharing on a new Web...
