Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit yesterday against one of its own counties — Montgomery — for illegally issuing marriage licenses for gay couples.
Last week, the county’s register of wills, Bruce Hanes, granted 31 licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of state law.
Ray McGarry, the
county solicitor, said in a statement the Department of Health’s petition has serious flaws.
“Montgomery County will be filing a response shortly,” he said. “In the meantime, the Register of Wills office will continue to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.” METRO

‘He smelled gas all night’ Jorge Colon repeated the same phrase all night: “I smell gas.”
He and his wife, Dani-elle James, who live on Wolf Street, checked the stove, but to no avail.
The next morning, as James hung out a second-floor window talking to
a neighbor, the house behind them exploded.
“Our stove was fine, so we knew it wasn’t coming from here,” she said. “We didn’t know where it was coming from. Now we do.”
Barry O’Sullivan, PGW spokesman, said no calls were received for gas odors. TOMMY ROWAN

Nutter says gas leak may not be cause of explosion
Refuting earlier reports, Mayor Michael Nutter yes-terday claimed a gas leak may not be to blame for an explosion Monday that leveled three row homes on Daly Street in South Philadelphia.
“We don’t know that it was a gas leak or not,” he said. “The fire marshal will tell us that.”
The information came despite a release from the city Monday that stated officials “determined that an explosion occurred due to natural gas” and that the fire marshal, De-partment of Licenses and Inspections and Philadel-phia Gas Works were “in-vestigating the cause of the gas leak.”
Nutter also addressed reports the explosion oc-curred in the basement of 428 Daly St. and was pos-sibly related to a recently installed hot water heater.
The mayor said he did not know where the work-er was during the blast and noted all permitted work on the property, including the furnace installation, was fully completed and inspected on July 26. He further stated the only re-pairs still being performed

Confl icting. The city yesterday contradicted earlier information issued about an explosion in South Philadelphia.
Monday were considered cosmetic in nature.
“It is our best under-standing the individual who was injured was do-ing other work inside the house, possibly described as more of a tile person,” Nutter said. “He was doing some floor work that does not require a permit.”
The worker is intubat-ed and has not yet been formally interviewed, he added.
Councilman Mark Squilla said yesterday neighbors in the area told him they overheard the in-jured worker say immedi-ately after the blast he had been lighting a cigarette at the time.
“This is just something I heard from the commu-nity that they overheard from the person who was injured,” he said.
Nutter called the ru-mor “pure speculation at this point” and refused to comment further.
Squilla agreed more information will come following the inquiry. “The Fire Department was on the scene today trying to find origin of explosion, whether it was in the basement where the water heater was,” he said. “From what I un-derstand, they actually pulled the water heater out of rubble today, so if it was intact, maybe it wasn’t the water heater that caused the explo-sion.”
Quoted
“Once the Fire Department completes its investigation, L & I will award a contract through what is considered a curbside bid process to complete demolition on 426, 428 and 430 Daly St.” Nutter

As three local chefs brain-stormed a game plan for Lincoln Financial Field’s expanded menu, they as-sumed their greatest foe was beer.
Peter McAndrews, head chef and owner of several local Italian bis-tros, cooked up a beef bris-ket bathed in horseradish mayonnaise and sharp provolone. He topped it off with a fried egg.
“A 12 o’clock game is close to breakfast,” said McAndrews. “That’s go-ing to save your life from a hangover, I think. Have a Paesano, have a couple six packs of beer and
you’ll be fine.”The Eagles yesterday
announced partnerships with local restaurateurs, including McAndrews, who will add some Philly-centric cuisine to the Linc’s game-day menu. Marc Vetri and Jose Garces also unveiled their signa-ture dishes.
Garces, who owns five restaurants in the city, wanted to add some spicy ingredients, so he used chipotle chicken for the tacos and added roasted jalapenos to the home-made guacamole.
Menu items
• Vetri: North Philly Sausage Cheesesteak on a pretzel roll.
• Garces: Carnitas Tacos with pineapple jicama salsa, black beans and
shaved radishes.
• McAndrews: Meatloaf Parmesan includes crispy Italian-style meatloaf, red sauce, fresh mozzarella and sharp provolone.

The parking lot where the fire happened is near Red Lion Road in Northeast Philadelphia.

Undo. Website Sugardaddie.com is off ering to foot the bill for three Philly couples seeking separations.
Dating site doles out free divorces to Philly couples
Divorces in America are on the rise, and so is the cost of obtaining one — some estimates peg the average price tag of a civil separa-tion at $20,000.
But matchmaking website Sugardaddie.com, which sets up wealthy older men with younger wealth-seeking women, is offering to ease the bur-den for three local couples, footing the bill for their breakups through Legal-zoom.com.
“It kinds of make sense that, look, the more di-vorces there are, the more members there are that could potentially join Su-gardaddie.com,” said site spokesman Darren Schus-ter of Pop Culture PR. “Philadelphia happens to be one of the most expen-sive cities to get a divorce in, according to the aver-
age hourly rate of a divorce attorney, so we figured we would start with a city that was extremely costly.”
A report from Business Insider using data from Attorneyfee.com ranked Philadelphia as the ninth most expensive U.S. city in which to obtain a divorce, pegging average hourly fees at $297.
The ranking noted the cost was, in part, due to the amount of time it takes Pennsylvania to pro-cess divorce documents, which has caused some cities in the state to aver-age three years to finalize a divorce.
There are apparently plenty of Philadelphians who would gladly take the site up on its offer — Schuster said the com-pany has received “several dozen” messages stating applicants’ desired reason for divorcing.
He said site administra-tors are seeking the most interesting and compelling stories.
“One that’s up for con-sideration, for example, she says she hasn’t seen her husband for nine years,” he said. “And the
nine years that they were together before that, he cheated on her.”
“I’ve never seen a dat-ing site offer free divorc-es,” he concluded. “I’m not sure what took us so long to come up with the idea — how do you not want to expand your market base?”

U.S. Army Private First Class Bradley Manning is escorted by military police as he leaves his military trial after he was found guilty of 20 out of 21 charges, yesterday at Fort George G. Meade. / GETTY IMAGES
Manning acquitted of aiding enemy, still may get long jail time
A military judge yesterday found U.S. soldier Brad-ley Manning not guilty of aiding the enemy, the most serious charge he faced for handing over documents to WikiLeaks, but he still likely faces a long jail term after being found guilty of 19 other counts.
Colonel Denise Lind ruled the 25-year-old
Army private first class was guilty of five es-pionage charges, among many others, for the larg-est unauthorized release of classified U.S. data in the nation’s history.
The trove of docu-ments, including battle-field videos and diplo-matic cables, was a huge boost to the profile of the WikiLeaks anti-secrecy website and its founder Julian Assange. Tuesday’s verdict could be a blow to his efforts to encour-age people with access to secret information to re-lease it publicly.
Supporters of Manning
were heartened by the not guilty ruling on the most serious charge, though WikiLeaks said the convic-tion represented “a very serious new precedent.”

US to declassify documents on spy programs
U.S. spy agencies plan to declassify documents about the National Secu-rity Agency surveillance programs revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden, and also mate-rial related to a secret intelligence court, a U.S. intelligence official said.
The declassified docu-ments were intended to provide the public more information about the
programs as part of a commitment by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for more transparency, the official told Reuters yesterday on condition of anonymity.
The documents would also include information about the Foreign Intelligence Sur-
veillance Court which operates in secrecy, the official said. The move to declassify the informa-tion was first reported by CNN.
Snowden’s release of information about the NSA surveillance pro-grams to media outlets sparked an uproar over revelations that U.S. in-telligence agencies had collected data on phone calls and other commu-nications of Americans and foreign citizens as a tool for fighting terror-ism. REUTERS
Information
The declassifi ed documents could be released as early as this week.

President Barack Obama proposed a “grand bar-gain for middle-class jobs” yesterday that would cut the U.S. cor-porate tax rate and use billions of dollars in reve-nues generated by a busi-ness tax overhaul to fund projects aimed at creat-ing jobs. He spoke at an Amazon.com facility in southeast Tennessee.
“I’ve come here to offer a framework that might help break through the political log-jam in Washington and get some of these proven ideas moving,” Obama said.
Obama’s proposal im-
mediately drew fire from the office of Republican John Boehner, speaker of the House of Represen-tatives. Bickering broke out as the White House said it had tried to tell Boehner’s aides about the plan on Monday,
but “never heard back” from them, said Obama spokesman Jay Carney.
The contretemps re-flected the highly par-tisan environment that has made negotiations nearly impossible in Washington. Efforts to reach a “grand bargain” between Democrats and Republicans on deficit re-duction have been at an impasse for months.
Obama also wants a minimum tax on foreign earnings as a tool against corporate tax evasion and the use of tax ha-vens.
In exchange for his support for a corporate tax reduction, Obama wants the money gener-ated by a tax overhaul to be used to fund such proj-ects as repairing roads and bridges, improving education at community colleges and promoting manufacturing, senior administration officials said. REUTERS
The U.S. Army has launched an investigation into claims that its special forces abducted and killed Afghan civilians, allega-tions Washington has denied, a NATO spokes-woman said yesterday.
U.S. Colonel Jane Crich-ton said the commander of the International Secu-rity Assistance Force, the NATO-led force in Afghani-stan, U.S. General Joseph Dunford, had ordered
the investigation after an Afghan translator accused the U.S. soldiers, with whom he had worked, of the crimes.
Accusations of U.S. troops committing crimes against civilians have dam-aged relations between the Afghan government and ISAF, particularly since a U.S. soldier was accused of murdering 16 civilians in Kandahar province in March last year. REUTERS

Inside Fergie’s ‘gayby’ baby shower
When I first heard that Fergie and Josh Duhamel threw a “gayby” themed baby shower for their son, due in September, I was a bit perplexed: How did they know their fetus liked boys?
But I was mistaken. Their “gayby” baby show-er, which was attended by the likes of Perez Hilton,
Kelly Osbourne, Adam Lambert, Molly Sims, Juli-anne Hough, RuPaul and Lance Bass, was named as such to flaunt Fergie’s gay-icon status (which makes me wonder what would have happened if Judy Garland were around to have a baby).
Sunday’s fetus fete, held at the SLS Hotel in
Los Angeles, featured burlesque dancers in drag, a performance by a drag queen and shirtless bar-tenders serving up drinks like Patron “Ferg-aritas.”
Hear that sound? That is the sound of a thousand Republicans simultane-ously combusting after reading this item.
Evan Rachel Wood is offi-cially a mom. The 25-year-old actress gave birth to her first child Monday, her rep confirms to Us Weekly. “Evan Rachel Wood and her husband, Jamie Bell, are parents to a beautiful boy,” the rep says. “Parents and baby are all doing well.” Bell couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, praising his wife on Twitter with, “Evan, you are my warrior! You never cease to amaze. Thank you for birthing our son so naturally and peace-fully. You did it!”
“Birthing” a child “peacefully”? Wood deserves all of the acclaim she gets for being a good actress, then.

2 Joe and Teresa Giudice, stars of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” appeared in court yesterday to face charges in a whole bunch of bad stuff — a whopping 39 counts in all — includ-ing defrauding lenders, illegally obtaining mort-gages and loans as well as allegedly hiding assets and income during a bank-ruptcy case in Newark. The most serious charges the couple face, bank fraud and loan application
fraud, has them looking at up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine if convicted.
Even worse? Joe is not a U.S. citizen, so he could be deported to Italy once he serves his possible jail time. You know, it’s funny: Whenever I’ve watched RHONJ, I’ve always won-dered how in the world they had enough money to spend it on all of their tasteless, obnoxious crap.
It turns out they didn’t!

Bieber’s bus drug bust Marijuana and drug paraphernalia were seized from one of Justin Bieber’s tour buses during a stop at the U.S.-Canada border, according to E! News. Bieber himself wasn’t on the bus, and his rep insists “it wasn’t Justin’s bus,” but Customs officials say it was part of his convoy. “The tour bus, associated with musician Justin Bieber, was en route to a concert sched-
ule later Sunday night in Detroit,” a spokesman says. “Officers seized mari-juana and paraphernalia and issued a penalty to the driver. The bus and passengers were released without further incident.”

I love those moments because they are just the right amount of naughty.” She’s also advising against extreme measures. “I’ve done juice cleanses in the past, and in my 20s I did the Master Cleanse, which left me hallucinating after 10 days,” she cautions. “Be aware: A juice detox can crash your metabolism and lead to future weight gain.”

Mads Mikkelsen can be seen on TV’s “Hannibal,” where he heroically avoids the mannerisms of Anthony Hopkins’ version of Hannibal Lecter. The “Casino Royale” villain still manages to do work back home in Denmark, as he did with the drama “The Hunt,” in which he plays a man falsely accused of ex-posing himself to a young girl — a performance that netted him Best Actor at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
It’s important that the fi lm clearly establishes that your character is not guilty.That was our point from the beginning. Thomas and his co-writer Tobias [Lindholm] did not want to turn this into a thriller. That would have been too banal. We wanted to see the snowball effect and show both sides, so we could make a classical drama rather than have the audience sitting on the edge, thinking, “Oh, did he do it?” We wanted to tell a story about how enormous love could turn into enormous fear and then into hate.
What were the diffi culties of playing a character who can’t really react?My character is at a dif-ficult place where I can’t place my anger anywhere. I can’t blame the girl, I can’t blame the best friend, I can’t blame the woman who works at the school. There’s no one I can blame. You’re running into closed doors every-where. If you scream too loud, you’re guilty. If you
MADS MIKKELSEN “Hannibal” star talks about playing a man falsely accused in “The Hunt.”
WITH A SIDE OF CHIANTI do nothing, you’re guilty. If you’re in the middle of the road, you‘re guilty. That’s the Kafkaesque universe of the story.
He does have a bit of
a dark side. He gets indignant when accused.Of course. He’s getting insulted. If my wife would ask me if I did something like this, I wouldn’t take that easily. I would prob-
ably do the same, and say, “Get the f— out.” In some ways he has a masculine way of dealing with this, and in some ways he does not. He treats this subject in a civilized manner. He
believes the system will take care of this. And the system fails. He’s fighting against the emotions of irrational people. The one place where he mans up is in the supermarket
scene [where he gets into a fight]. That’s the one time the audience goes, “Yeah, man, that’s cool!” But it’s interesting that we react like that, because he’s doing it in an uncivilized manner. It’s like we want him to be uncivilized.
For many people, even those proven to have been falsely accused, these accusations never really go away. If he was accused of robbing a bank he’d get a shoulder pat — “Hey, I thought for a second you robbed that bank!” But a bank is not as important as a kid. We’re so afraid today when something involves kids. It’s a little pathetic. It’s the same thing with the war on terror. We turn our democracy into something where we’re afraid of liv-ing our life because we’re fighting terror. And that’s exactly what it shouldn’t be. We restrict our lives.
Playing Hannibal Lecter “He’s a diff erent species. Hannibal is not a person. He’s basically Satan. He’s probably one of the most cheerful and happy characters I’ve ever played. He’s just enjoying life. Even if he would go to jail one day, he would see that as a beautiful opportunity for a new and fresh start. ”

Tip
Choose the right frames Keep it simple, advises Droessler. “The focus should be on the artwork and not the frame. Sim-ple white or black frames look great with photo-graphs or modern art. But really any frame that is simple and enhances the artwork is a good choice.” If you want to add a splash of color, she suggests using a colorful mat. “To get the right
mat, choose a color that is in the art,” she says. “If you do not want to com-mit to a large bright mat, a good option is to get a double mat, with a white top mat and a colorful bottom mat. With the mat, the same frame principal applies — the mat should enhance the art, not draw the focus away from the art.”
if your goal is an eclectic gallery wall, you want to have frames in various sizes,” she says. “If you want a clean, crisp look, then the frames should be hung in line, either as a column, as a grid wall or as a few rows.”
Start with an anchor piece“When building a gallery wall with different-size frames, it’s helpful have the largest work as the ‘an-chor’ so the other works can be added around this
piece,” says Droessler. “As you add frames, keep the frame wall balanced. By doing this you can naturally build out the wall over time and it will always look like one unit.” Droessler adds, “It’s impor-tant to hang the anchor off center, otherwise you run the risk of your eye only focusing on the large cen-ter frame, when what you want is the whole group of frames to be the focus. So by putting it off center and hanging the other frames around the anchor, the gallery wall looks like a cohesive unit.”
Start with an anchor piece and then build out. FRAMED & MATTED
Create a gallery wall in your home
Tired of looking at your plain white walls? Display some art already.
“Wall galleries are a great way for people who aren’t necessarily ‘artsy’ to add an artistic feel to their rooms,” says Chrissy Droessler, co-founder of the online custom framing company Framed & Matted. “The best part is that there’s no right or wrong way. Just do what you feel.” She helps us get started.
Figure out your layout before hanging
“One of the biggest mis-takes that people make while creating wall galler-ies is hanging individual pieces up before they actu-ally have an idea of the layout,” says Droessler. She suggests laying the frames out on the floor first to or-ganize your gallery. Doing so gives you a clearer pic-ture of the outcome. “Also,
Decor. Framing expert Chrissy Droessler tells us how to turn our drab wall into a showpiece for our memories and art .
White or black frames look great with photos or modern art. GETTY IMAGES/POLKA DOT RF
“Hang art at eye-level, with the center of the artwork at 60 inches off
the floor,” says Droessler. This way the frames are at a comfortable place for people to view. “Hang the work too high, and people have to crane their necks, making it less fun to look at.”
Advice
Dos and don’ts
• DO create a gal-lery that isn’t too
static and can always evolve and change.
• DON’T start hang-ing frames before your vision of the
gallery is clear.
• DO consider the color scheme of your framing in correla-tion with the room
layout or style.
• DON’T freak out! Gallery walls can be intimidating,
because they look so cool, but don’t allow yourself to
get overwhelmed. Take it one frame at
a time.

Blackstone Development wants to put up Liberty Square, a mixed-use build-ing in South Kensington in a former industrial cor-ridor. It’s starting to get a lot of attention from developers, architects and realtors — and that’s exactly why neighbors are so concerned.
Liberty Square would not be the only large-scale housing going up on the block. The approved Soko Lofts, with over 300 units, will be just across the street. “It’s something that is kind of a good thing and kind of a bad thing,” says Leah Murphy, co-chair of the planning and zoning committee at South Kensington Com-munity Partners. She’s

Size matters
“[Blackstone] came in at first with a 247-unit, six-story building,” says Murphy. “On the other side of Thompson you have two- and three-story homes, so you’d have a building tower-ing over you. That’s one thing we really pushed back on and they came back with reductions.” The new plan is a five-story building with 191 units.
the real issue lies: Some would say the charac-teristic of the neighbor-hood could benefit from a change.

5 Benefi t ‘That Gal’ Brightening Face Primer
I tried this on a bad skin day.
I was looking a bit sallow.
But after trying it on, my
cheeks looked rosy. It also
gave my skin a smooth
surface, hiding my scars and
minimizing the size of my
pores. Come
bedtime
— even
after I had
washed my
face — my
skin hadn’t
lost its glow.
$29, www.benefi tcosmetics.com
3 Estee Lauder Illuminating Perfecting Primer
Is that a glow I see? This
primer brightened up my
face and anchored down
my BB cream, stopping it
from sliding off my face.
The texture is thick, but not
pore-cloggingly so, and the
formula, which includes shea
butter, made my skin feel
softer than
usual. But
I could do
without the
mattifying
eff ect, which
was too pow-
dery for my
taste. $34, www.esteelauder.com
MAC Prep + Prime Skin Primer Everything about this is shim-
mery — the packaging, tube
and cream all contain glitter.
So I expected this to give my
skin a glow as well. No dice.
But I liked that this primer
made my skin feel smooth
and oil free.
However,
it took me
twice as
long to wash
my makeup
off . $29, www.mac cosmetics.com
Stila One Step Correct
This formula made my
makeup look natural and
healthy, leaving a dewy,
smooth fi nish. And the color-
correcting mousse managed
to hide the stubborn red
patches around my nose.
Best of all, it
lasted all day,
and I forgot I
had anything
on. $36, www.stilacosmetics.com
1 By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Primer The press release says the
formula will reduce enlarged
pores. But after putting it on,
mine still looked like gaping
holes. The formula felt
heavier than I expected, but
it gets high marks for staying
power. Twelve hours and a
sweaty yoga class later, I still
had a full face of makeup on.

Who says the humble turn-based RPG is dead? Sure, games like Skyrim have stolen their thunder a bit, but the genre still has plenty of life left in it. Have a hankering to grind for experience like the old days? Check out these games.
‘Mario and Luigi: Dream Team’
System: 3DSMaker: Nintendo• • • • •Ever since the “Super Ma-rio” RPG graced the SNES back in the shaggy-haired 1990s, Mario and Luigi have been taking part
in their own turn-based battles. “Mario and Luigi: Dream Team” continues this tradition, mixing in more of the ridiculous sense of humor and timed button mashing the series has become known for.
The plot involves jump-ing in and out of Luigi’s dreams to rescue Princess Peach. These dream seg-ments are where the game shines brightest, giving an inside glimpse into the subconscious of the less appreciated plumber. The gameplay is a mix of gen-tle platforming and RPG tropes, with an emphasis placed on well-timed hits and dodges as you battle.
series has always been, for better or worse, a digital take on pen-and-paper RPGs like “Dungeons and Dragons.” They feature a first-person view, labyrin-thine dungeons and brutal difficulty. Until now, they were for hard-core fans only.
The fourth entry in the series evens out the playing field, adding a casual difficulty setting and plenty of amazing new features, like the ability to use the touch-screen to draw a map as you explore. The addition of a genuine overworld gives gameplay even more depth. You may as well just quit your job, leave your family and buy a 128-pack of ramen noodles.

BPA linked to infertility Location of study: U.S.
Study subjects: 352 eggs
Results: Exposure to Bisphenol-
A could be contribute to infertil-
ity, according to new research
led by Catherine Racowsky,
Ph.D., director of the Assisted
Reproductive Technologies
Laboratory at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital. In a report
published in the journal Human
Reproduction, researchers state
that causes for infertility in 20
percent of American couples is
never diagnosed. In the study,
the eggs that were exposed
to greater levels of BPA were
less likely to mature and more
likely to degenerate or experi-
ence spontaneous activation.
Previous research examining
the impact of BPA exposure on
animal eggs had similar results.
Signifi cance: “Because expo-
sure to BPA is so ubiquitous,
patients and medical profes-
sionals should be aware that
BPA may cause a signifi cant
disruption to the fundamentals
of the human reproductive
process and may play a role
in unexplained infertility,”
Racowsky says.
Don’t sweat over hot yoga Location of study: U.S.
Study subjects: Data study
Results: Most hot yoga classes are
no more harmful than ordinary
yoga, according to a new study
commissioned by American
Council on Exercise. Researchers
found core temperature and heart
rate during 60-minute regular
yoga and hot yoga classes were
comparable. Room temperatures
did not exceed 95 degrees for
this study.
Signifi cance: “Anytime exercise
is conducted in extreme tempera-
tures, it’s important to remain
hydrated and to watch signs for
overheating,” said ACE Chief Sci-
ence Offi cer Dr. Cedric Bryant.
More overweight athletes in the US Location of study: U.S.
Study subjects: Peer-reviewed
literature review
Results: The number of over-
weight students entering college
level-sports is increasing, says a
report by Nestle Nutrition Institu-
tion Workshop Series.
Signifi cance: Melinda Manore,
professor of nutrition in the
College of Public Health and
Human Sciences at Oregon
State, says that athletes too
often follow restricted-calorie
diets that are unhealthy and
unsustainable. She recommends
a high fi ber, low-fat diet to
maintain healthy muscle while
still burning fat. LINDA CLARKE

30-second lifesaver
Coping with stress This week’s tip comes from Allen Elkin, Ph. D., author of Stress Management For Dummies, 2nd Edition.
One of the best ways of coping with stress is putting your stress into perspective. Here’s how to do this:
Step One: Rate your dis-tress level on a 10-point scale, where 1 indicates minor distress and a rat-
ing of 10 indicates a lot of distress. Step Two: Rate the im-portance of the situation or event that is triggering your distress on a similar 10-point scale, where 1 in-dicates a minor problem and 10 indicates a serious problem.Step Three: Compare your rated distress level with the importance of the stressor. If you had a 7 response to a 2 problem, you are creating much needless stress for yourself.
Get honest about how you’re feeling. / RK STUDIO, DEAN SANDERSON

What over-the-counter pain meds are best, and how much can I safely take?
Determining the specific source of pain is impor-tant for recommending an appropriate remedy or treatment, as pain is nature’s way of letting you know that something is wrong. For example, the abdominal pain caused by appendicitis requires a different approach than a painful kidney stone, or abdominal muscle strain. A migraine headache is treated differently than a tension headache, and the chest pain from a heart attack is an emergency whereas heartburn is often relieved with antacids. If you are experiencing pain that is new and different for you without an obvious source (like a sprained ankle or sore throat), you should seek medical at-tention.
Some substances are analgesic, which means they relieve pain directly at the source or decrease the nervous system’s perception of pain. An anti-inflammatory agent blocks the formation of various substances that cause inflammation, which indirectly causes pain often due to an injury or infection.
Some substances are analgesic, which means they relieve pain directly at the source or decrease the nervous system’s perception of pain.
Acetaminophen or Paracetamol (branded as Tylenol) is a mild analgesic that relieves headaches, muscle aches and post-surgical pain. It also reduces fever, which may cause pain. It takes about 15-30 minutes to kick in and lasts four to six hours.
Taking any of these OTC medicines for short periods of time (7-10 days) is safe, but prolonged or chronic pain should always be investigated by a doctor.
And be careful in dos-ing: Acetaminophen is metabolized by the liver and can cause liver failure if you overdose. NSAIDs and aspirin can irritate the lining of the stomach and cause ulcers and gastro-intestinal bleeding. If you
have a sensitive stomach, try taking an NSAID or aspirin with some food.
Alcohol increases overall bodily infl amma-tion so it may make pain worse. Avoid it if you take any OTC pill.
As with all medications,
if you are allergic, are taking other prescription drugs or have a medical condition that may be af-fected by over-the-counter medicines, make sure you talk to a doctor if you are unsure about the safety of any of these substances.
(Aleve) are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These are in contrast to steroids, which also relieve inflamma-tion (think cortisone) but require a prescription. Various inflammatory substances are released by the body to fight infection and repair injured tissues. While inflammation can be helpful, it also causes pain. NSAIDs are useful in relieving painful condi-tions that are caused by inflammation, such as sore throats, earaches or skin wounds. Injuries such as strains, sprains or wounds may also benefit from an NSAID. The medicine takes effect 20-30 minutes after you take it. Ibuprofen lasts about four to six hours and Naproxen about 10-12. Just don’t mix these two drugs.
Aspirin is both analge-sic and anti-inflammatory, and it relieves fever. It’s good for fevers, headaches and muscle or joint pain.

Of vice and menRe: ‘Cheaters can still prosper’ (Metro, July 30) I am responding to Owen Duncan’s reply about Weiner cheating in his wife, and “What does it matter?” While it may be OK for a man to rational-ize this awful behavior, Weiner took a vow in marriage. This is much like the vow he takes for office! If he doesn’t take one seriously, why should we think he’ll take any others seri-ously? His behavior and defiance is not only a sign of very poor charac-ter, but one who is unfit for public office.MAURA SHUFELDT, VIA EMAIL
Weiner committed injurious acts against a person that he (presum-ably) loves for personal
fulfillment and pleasure. How is one to ascertain the manner in which he will regard his duties to the public, people with whom he has had no relation?WILLIAM STOWE, VIA EMAIL
Metro readers seem to be divided on whether or not Mr. Weiner should be allowed to serve as mayor of New York. Certainly he is entitled to run. But we like to think that our political leaders have both good judge-ment and good taste. He clearly has neither. We want our politicians to be above reproach. In Mr. Weiner’s case, reproach is his middle name.I. MILTON KARABELL, VIA EMAIL

SEPTA is the vehicle, but the journey is yours.
Let SEPTA get you to the game.ISEPTAPHILLY.COM
The Phillies promoted prospect Cody Asche to the big club yesterday, a move that prompted rumors that Michael Young would be traded.
Asche, who will wear No. 25, did make it to Citizens Bank Park but he wasn’t in the starting lineup.
Young played third
base and batted second last night against the Giants.
Outfielder Steve Sus-dorf was designated for assignment.
The 23-year-old Asche was a fourth-round pick in 2011. He was hitting .295 with 15 homers for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.METRO
Called up. Asche joins Phillies, but sits on the bench for now
Chase Utley is still a Phillie — for now.
The second baseman is in the final year of his contract and his future is a hot button issue with the trade deadline here. Last week, a report sur-faced that the Phils were working on an extension to keep Utley around.
When reporters asked
Utley about it, he said he hadn’t heard anything about that.
GM Ruben Amaro Jr., has gone on record calling Utley a “franchise player” and a guy that could be a “Phillie for life.” Utley, a fan favorite, is batting .274 this sea-son for the Phillies. METRO
Cut to Chase. Utley’s rumored extension still not completed
Dutch recognized
Daulton to return? Darren Daulton is undergoing treatment for brain cancer in Florida. It’s unlikely he’ll be able to at-tend this weekend’s alumni festivities at the ballpark, but the Phillies haven’t ruled it out completely.
Either way, the team plans to honor the former catcher. METRO
Who stays and who goes for fading Phils?
After suffering through an eight-game losing streak, the fate of the Phillies is apparent. The team is far behind the Braves and GM Ruben Amaro Jr., has little alternative but to sell.
Who will the Phillies trade? Say goodbye to Mi-chael Young.
“There are so many teams that could use his righthanded bat,” a NL scout said.
“It’s just a matter of when Young will be traded and to what team.”
It gets more interesting after Young. The Phillies would be wise to trade Jon-athan Papelbon. A losing team can’t afford a luxury like an elite closer. Howev-er, the issue with Papelbon
is that he makes a ton of money and has lost veloc-ity on his fastball. He has also blown five of 25 save opportunities. It doesn’t help that Papelbon isn’t exactly a positive club-house presence.
“I would like to stay here. But if I’m going to have to put up with this year after year, then no, I don’t want to be here. Why would you? Why would anybody?” he said.
The Phillies are report-edly working on a contract extension with Chase Ut-ley, which makes sense if the deal is team friendly.
Cliff Lee has a limited no-trade clause, a high salary and the Phillies can’t replicate the deal they made with Seattle in which Lee was dealt for three prospects.
If Lee isn’t dealt for MLB-ready players, it would hurt the team and it would be a PR disaster.
MLB. The team appears to be in full-on sell mode at baseball’s trading deadline, arriving at 4 p.m. today.

MLB. The former Phillies outfi elder made his fi rst return as a rival to Citizens Bank Park last night.
Pence had date circled on calendar
Hunter Pence circled yes-terday’s date on his cal-endar.
“I’m looking forward to going back to Philadel-phia,” Pence said. “I had an incredible experience there. The fans treated me great. They were awe-some.”
It’s been nearly a year that Ruben Amaro traded Pence to San Francisco.
Pence made the most of it helping lead the Giants to their second World Series title in three seasons.
“It was amazing,” Pence said. “It’s the high-light of my career. But the thing is that I really
thought I was headed to the World Series with the Phillies when I joined that club.”
Pence was acquired by the Phillies in July 2011. He was regarded as the final piece on a club that set a record with 102 wins. But the Phillies won only two games in the postseason as St. Louis shocked the Phils.
“That team was amaz-ing,” Pence said. “So many people thought we were going to win it all, but you never know what is going to happen in the playoffs.”

Everything is different at Eagles training camp. From the loud pop mu-sic blaring at practices to running backs attached to strings, it’s a new era under Chip Kelly.
One of the newest wrinkles recently re-vealed is no tackling. Well, that’s not entirely true. There has been tackling in recent days, but Kelly isn’t asking his players to take each other down to the ground. He’ll let them use the pre-season games to work on that.
“We have four pre-season games for that,” Kelly said. “They’re hit-
ting pretty good when they get an opportunity. The big thing with tack-ling, you want to be on your feet anyway. We don’t want people diving. We want to be good form tacklers, so they get an opportunity. In the first team period we do every day, we’re going to be do-ing that.”
After losing two play-
ers to season-ending ACL tears — receiver Jeremy Maclin and linebacker Ja-son Phillips — in a three-day span, maybe it’s not such a bad idea. In fact, Kelly admitted that pre-venting injury is the main reason for it.
“It’s the pile-ups,” Kel-ly said. “Most of the time, it’s not the tackle or the tackler, it’s the rest of the guys coming through. It’s a dance everybody’s got to dance, but you want to make sure you get enough physicality in practice. I think our guys are doing a good job right now.”
The Eagles enjoyed an off-day yesterday, but they’ll be back out there in full pads today. The first preseason game is scheduled for Aug. 9 at the Linc against the New England Patriots.
NFL. There will be no real tackling at Eagles training camp. Not until the preseason games start up, at least.

See you in 2014
Birds place Maclin on IR The Eagles placed wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on injured reserve yes-terday, officially end-ing his 2013 season.
Maclin, who tore his ACL on July 27, will undergo surgery next week. There had been slight hope he could return for a potential playoff run, but that won’t happen. The Ea-gles re-signed receiver Nick Miller to take his roster spot. METRO
Slow down, Chip
NFL refs lay down law NFL referees might be conspiring to slow down Chip Kelly’s up-tempo offense.
Kelly’s system relies on snapping the ball quickly in his no-huddle attack. But the officials don’t intend to change the rules to accommodate that. According to a Wall Street Journal report, teams can’t hike the ball until a ref gives a signal. METRO
Pond search
Hernandez search rolls on Police in Connecticut are searching a pond for evidence related to the Aaron Hernandez murder case.
Authorities won’t comment on the search. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty. The murder weapon is still missing. METRO
