Mexico City has been somewhat of an oasis from the cartel violence engulfing border states, but a spate of recent killings and decapitations has residents fearing that the drug war is encroaching.
In Acapulco, police said that they were not ruling out drug or organized-crime links, possibly related to prostitution in the killings of four women and a 14-year-old girl whose bodies were found Saturday.
All five worked at a beauty parlor in a neighborhood known for prostitution and drug dealing, the chief of detectives for the Guerrero state police said yesterday.
“It’s an area with many social problems,” Fernando Monreal Leyva said.
“On the second floor where the events occurred – in this case, the beauty parlor – a massage parlor was found where sexual acts may have been performed, although this is still under investigation,” Monreal Leyva said.

Francis Murphy, 39, or “Murph,” as he was known by those who dealt with him, had been the athletic director at Carroll since 1999. He had been varsity baseball coach since 1998 and was the offensive coordinator of the Archbishop Carroll Patriots football team. Murphy has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation and legal case that thrust him, and the school community into a spotlight nobody wants.
News of his arrest on April 15 sent a stunned ripple throughout the school, the extended Carroll community, the Philadelphia Catholic League and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Murphy is charged with unlawful contact or communication with a minor, promoting prostitution, corruption of minors, attempted corruption of minors, and related offenses. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said Murphy’s arrest followed an investigation in which police assumed the Facebook identity of a former Carroll student who said he had received messages from Murphy on Facebook. That led to a complaint filed with police.

Branta Canadensis maxima is the Latin name for public enemy No. 1, the Canada goose; that waddling excrement factory that serves no other purpose than to besmirch our parks and ball fields. In Pennsylvania, there is a full-time population of more than 230,000 full-time goose residents producing about 11,500 pounds of droppings EVERY DAY. Take a stroll onto Memorial Field or the idyllic Strawbridge Lake area and try to make it back to your car without an accumulation of goose poop on the bottom of your shoes.
Although I haven’t seen them lately, I know that at one time there were border collies patrolling Strawbridge Lake. A local resident told me that the border collies left Mo’town to work with Charlie Sheen, herding him away from danger and/or prostitutes. It doesn’t seem to be working, Lassie.

British privacy laws protect mostly menUsing a gag order to halt bad publicity isn’t uncommon.April 24, 2011|By Paisley Dodds, Associated Press
LONDON – A topless model has juicy details of a six-month affair with a married soccer star. A prostitute wants to dish the dirt about a sex romp with a British actor. But British courts have gagged the women and journalists from reporting the lurid details or the men’s identities.
The cases are the latest in a series of British court orders issued to protect the privacy of public figures, usually men involved in extramarital affairs.
Press freedom and legal advocates say the public figures – and the mostly male judges issuing the gag orders – are abusing and misinterpreting European human rights law. They ask what would happen if everyone were allowed to stop everyone else from talking about them.

The ‘Mona Lisa’ stole the heart of this art thiefApril 23, 2011|By Howard Shapiro, Inquirer Staff Writer
It’s 1911 and someone has stolen the Mona Lisa from the Louvre – and that’s no fiction. Vincenzo Peruggia, once a workman at the museum, took Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece from its case, hid it under his clothing, and left undetected.
According to Art Lover, Jules Tasca’s new play running through the weekend as part of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, the Italian immigrant – bedazzled by the painting and obsessed with the woman it depicts – kept Mona Lisa for two years in the shabby Paris apartment he shared with a former prostitute he’d fallen for. Peruggia said she reminded him of the woman in the painting.
Tasca invites us to consider whether Peruggia, his girlfriend, and the Mona Lisa were actually a love triangle. That may sound outlandish, but there’s solid evidence to pose the possibility: In Peruggia’s own writings he addressed both the woman and the p …

… It was not a good time,” she said. As one of only two women on the force, she said, she had to work harder to gain her male colleagues’ respect.
She worked in various bureaus, but her favorite was patrol. “That was my calling,” she said.
For most of her career, Thomas worked the Centerville and Fairview neighborhoods, where she developed a reputation for strength and zero tolerance.
“I can’t stand nonsense,” she said in an interview last week.
“A lot of guys would rather have her as a partner than another guy,” said Assemblyman Gilbert L. “Whip” Wilson, who served 26 years with the city Police Department. “People respected her.”
Thomas was one of the department’s “silent stars,” Wilson said, a person who broke up prostitution rings and also handed out Christmas baskets to the needy.
