Bear Patrol Apparently Working Smoothly

Oh, so that bear in West Philadelphia? Yes, that was a lie; the prints were determined to be from a dog.

Bears have five prints on their paw tracks; dogs only have four. Hey, wouldn't you know.

The large dog is still at large.

Leftovers: It's A Shitty Thing

• Put away those gloves, it's time for basketball season! The NBA tipped off last night and the 76ers open tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. Be sure and tune in, as it may be the only game they win. The 76ers marketing slogan this year is "It's a Philly thing," which is true, because Philly sports teams aren't usually that good. [Inquirer]

• A Rolling Stones fan has filed a class-action lawsuit because of the Stones' Atlantic City show postponement. But of course. [AP/6 ABC]

• Congratulations to Doree Shafrir, the ex-PW A&E editor who began her job as associate editor at Gawker today! Doree was one of those people who sat in meetings with me before this blog started when I was just doing non-public test blogging. She gave useful advice -- i.e. "What the hell does 'RISP in close and late' situations mean?" -- that I immediately forgot about and became the puppy photo poster that I am today. Best of luck! [Gawker]

• The bear patrol may not be working in Jersey. A report says that New Jersey's plans to sterilize the state's black bears will be ineffective and expensive. But at least we'd get to fuck with some animals. [AP/6 ABC]

• Bensalem pretty much had a fucking parade for the first slot machine delivered to Philadelphia Park. [Bucks County Courier Times]
