NBC 10 Running All Over Nation's Laws

Oh, no, noted sex educator and Power 99 DJ Golden Girl lost her ring at the airport! She says it was stolen while going through airport security at PHL. Oh no! Scandal.

Well, apparently not. NBC 10's Lu Ann Cahn went down to the airport and got the scoop! And not only did she get the scoop, the cops just let her do whatever the hell she wanted to, apparently.

The NBC 10 Investigators looked at surveillance video of Power 99 radio host Golden Girl walking through security, and concluded that her ring probably wasn't stolen. The footage cannot be released to the public, but after police showed the NBC 10 Investigators the video, it appears the host lost her ring at a security checkpoint.

It is also clear, from two camera angles, that security or some other passengers did not take it, according to NBC 10's Lu Ann Cahn.

Wait, what? The footage can't be released to the public, but it's perfectly okay for police to show it to reporters. I didn't know that's how the law worked; thanks for cluing me in, NBC 10! I'm totally going to find out just who really shot JFK now.

Penn Students Apparently Treated By Inept Loudmouths

As you may have seen me write on the site, or inferred from my constant bashing of the University, I am a not-so-proud Penn alum. (I'm sure they ain't too fond of me, either.) But during my time at Penn, I think I only went to student health twice, which was pretty impressive since I had mono for half my senior year.

Okay, anecdotal lead over. The student health building is likely to move away from the hospital to 36th and Market, along with increased capacity and a better entranceway. (It takes a new student approximately 45 minutes to find the stupid side entrance to student health.)

Oh, and also, the HIPAA violations are expected to happen a little less frequently.

The Market Street building would feature a design more conducive to a medical setting, featuring "much less confusing" offices, said SHS Director Evelyn Wiener. She added that the proposed location would boost the number of appointments SHS can handle and "be much more respectful of privacy and confidentiality," a concern that many students have voiced.

Ha ha! We're sorry we're discussing your super mutant form of the clap loudly with each other. But it's just so damn funny!

Quickies: Hunka hunka burnin' love

• A man's girlfriend left him after saying he spent too much time with his Elvis collection. And, so, he's auctioning it off to win her back. Naturally, he lives in Philadelphia, hotbed of all things Elvis. [AP via CNN.com]

• Hey, know how you can cheat on your boy/girlfriend and even if he/she checks your cell for old calls you're safe because you always delete the numbers of the calls you don't want anyone to see? Well, no. Because now pretty much anyone can buy your phone records from the phone company. Oh, joy. [Chicago Sun-Times]

• Drexel's new big study from a cognitive neuroscience professor: What's up with yawning?

• And in the feel-good story of the day, a nun in Mayfair was hit by a car while crossing the street to attend 6:30 a.m. mass at St. Matt's. (In a not-so-much-of-a-shocker, this is in Northeast Philly.) The driver didn't stop. Who wants to bet he's an ex-Catholic school kid with lots of bad memories? [KYW 3]
