Americans told to toss romaine lettuce over E. coli fears
PHOENIX >> U.S. health officials on Friday told consumers to throw away any store-bought romaine lettuce they have in their kitchens and warned restaurants not to serve it amid an E. coli outbreak that has sickened more than 50 people in several states.

N. Korea, setting stage for talks, halts nuclear, ICBM tests
SEOUL, South Korea >> North Korea announced that it will suspend nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic missile launches ahead of its summits with Seoul and Washington, but stopped short of suggesting it has any intention of giving up its hard-won nuclear arsenal.

Darts & Laurels: Starbucks brews up a week of controversy
A look at the week that was, the issues and people who made headlines, and a few darts and laurels for those who deserve them.
DART: To Starbucks. People seem to sit around these popular coffee shops without necessarily buying something all the time. Apparently only when "sitting while black" did this become a problem at one Philly location.

Thank you to everyone that came out to vote in the election on Tuesday. What started out as a beautiful fall day in our borough turned to truly nasty weather by the time the polls closed. (Special thanks to my sister, shown below, who braved the worst of the weather with me.)
While the result wasn't a win myself or most of democrat team, I am deeply grateful to each of the 950 people that voted for me. I wish my opponent, Jim Glenn, great success in his new role on council. I…

I just received the Republican attack advertisement in my mail over the weekend - I’m not surprised. I’m not surprised how low the Ridley Park Republicans will go in their attempt to stop the residents of Ridley Park from voting for councilors who are United for Ridley Park.
"United for Ridley Park" is a collection of both Democrat and Republican residents who want to end the deception and strong-arm politics that have been running Ridley Park for far too many years. …

When they say “Parker's before Party” what does it mean?
It’s about picking good, experienced, knowledgeable people to help manage our Borough, regardless of their political party affiliation.
