[UC] Found Cat
This cat appeared on my front porch on Saturday and has scarcely lifted his head from the food bowl in all that time. Male, fairly young (I’d say no more than 2), unfixed and extremely friendly. I’d say he hasn’t been away from home for too long because he’s not skittish at all and keeps trying to run in my house every time we open the door to get him more food. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/karen6790/cats/outside/stanley.jpg I’m putting him out here in the hopes that someone recognizes him. Barring that, if someone would like to adopt him, please let me know. He wants IN, and he wants in NOW. And I don’t think I have room for one more. If he’s yours, or you want him, email or call (215) 870-8356. Karen Heenan

Re: [UC] More Penn crime
In an interesting twist, this Penn Junior - alleged Burglar is also the current Mr. Penn a bodybuilder. Check out the You Tube video of his winning muscle presentation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGwYfHFPGHEfeature=related Anyway, it got me to thinking about the correlations between narcissism and greater ease in taking things that belong to other individuals a larger community narcissism and success definitions of success. This kid theoretically had it all and sold himself out for portable and fungible 'luxuries' like small electronics and DVDs His 'crimes' are not as bad as the Wharton Prof who battered his wife to death with his Chin up bar, but I wonder if the crimes are on the same continuum, and if they can be prevented, through better parenting, education or therapy. I don't want his next 'chance' to be back on a Campus that includes my daughter, yet I hope his talents can be directed toward good and not lost. What should Society do? It also got me to thinking about the Narcissism that lets Developers build up and over and to encroach upon and perhaps diminish the quality of life for others. Sometimes change is good, sometimes it profits few, sometimes it leaves a bankrupt hole in the fabric of a neighborhood. What is a community to do?

Re: [UC] More Penn crime - not due to muscles
Anyway, it got me to thinking about the correlations between narcissism and greater ease in taking things that belong to other individuals a larger community narcissism and success definitions of success. ... What should Society do? It also got me to thinking about the Narcissism that lets Developers build up and over and to encroach upon and perhaps diminish the quality of life for others. Huh? What? I don't think being a body builder has much to do with being a burglar or in this case more accurately a lowly gutless sneak thief. Last time I checked, Muscle and Fitness hadn't done a special feature from Greaterford or any of our local houses of correction. Hell, they don't have cause to do coverage from Phatadelphia. Without time to pull up the links, I doubt the local recently arrested identity thief, a Penn 2005 grad, or the current cyber-crimes Junior, also a GA grad, are body builders, though all three apparently have dedicated immoral compasses and a little misplaced hostility. Personally, I found lean and mean to be appropriate for when I was a gym rat, but I think it had more to do with the brain chemistry of increased testosterone levels; actually it was kind of cool. Being middle aged and mild is rather boring when as bad as I get is alleging Euclid Jr walked off the possible shadow of the Pine Street Hotel with short stubby unstable paces.

[UC] Still More Penn Crime
Add to that today's Daily News cover story about a Penn grad and a Drexel student who financed a lavish lifestyle in a $3,000 month Center City condo by way of identity theft committed against their condo neighbors. I don't think that Penn-affilliated people are any more prone to being criminals, but they are certainly not less prone. This may come as a shock to some, but they are no different than us mere mortals who went to Temple or some such hole-in-the-wall. So far, we've had a Penn economics professor convicted in Federal court after being caught by US Customs in possession of photos of himself having sex with underage boys, apparantly from the foreign countries he had been visiting; another Penn professor who pled guilty in Montgomery County court for bludgeoning his wife to death; and now alleged burglars and identity thieves. But the image Penn tries to project, and the one that is accepted without question in some quarters, both here in the neighborhood and beyond, is one of a superior class of people. To them, it is somehow unthinkable that someone associated with the almighty, all-knowing, all-powerful PENN could possibly do such things. Pretty soon there will be a new warning: Be careful, dont go EAST of 43rd Street!Karen Allen http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20071203_LIVING_LARGE.html To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 14:19:16 -0500Subject: Re: [UC] More Penn crimeFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In an interesting twist, this Penn Junior - alleged Burglar is also the current Mr. Penn a bodybuilder.

[UC] You gotta admire their chutzpah.
You gotta admire the Penn administration's chutzpah. They spend millions for the perception if not the reality of safety and security, then say * crimes on campus - even those perpetrated by students - [are] 'inevitable' * things that happen in and around the campus are completely beyond the control of the University's administrators * it's simple bad luck Worse, University spokeswoman Lori Doyle said she isn't concerned that Penn's image will be hurt by these incidents. They're worried about Penn's image. I would think they should be worried about Penn's people. Anyway, Karen Allen was right. We should post signs for the good folks out here in God's country warning them not to go into the danger zone east of 43rd street. Or, maybe suggest they find a Penn Security rent-a-cop to walk them through -- assuming he won't unzip and expose himself to anyone on the way. I refer, of course, to the following. from today's DP -- complete uncensored (I couldn't make up anything quite this nutty). Al Krigman -- -- University abuzz about 'perfect storm' of crime Officials not worried about student arrests, violent crime affecting school's reputation By: Anthony Campisi Posted: 12/3/07 Three students have been arrested or indicted in the past week. The north side of campus has seen two shootings in a month. A female student was sexually assaulted in her off-campus apartment, and suspects have flashed students in two separate incidents. The crimes are the perfect storm, said Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush. Ultimately, Rush said, because the crimes are completely unrelated, it's simple bad luck that has caused concern among officials and students. There's no doubt that [these incidents] … will raise some people's anxiety levels on campus, Rush said. In the short term, officials and experts say, strategies for handling the situation include communicating with the University about safety concerns and placing the incidents in the context of citywide crime trends. University spokeswoman Lori Doyle said she isn't concerned that Penn's image will be hurt by these incidents. She called crimes on campus - even those perpetrated by students - inevitable in an urban campus like Penn and said it's going to take a lot more than a few negative media stories to make a dent on [the University's] reputation. Public relations experts tended to agree with that assessment, but they said there are still steps a university can take in situations like this. David Kirk, president of thePRguy Inc., stressed the importance of communication about safety issues. Keeping the Penn community updated about crime problems has become increasingly important in the wake of last April's massacre at Virginia Tech, Kirk said. Rush said that because a Penn Police officer fired the shots that killed a gunman at Club Wizzards last Monday, it was especially important to inform the University about the incident. Having a fatal shooting from the Penn Police is highly unusual. … Clearly this is a huge thing, she said. Additionally, Penn's strategy of attempting to place recent campus crime in the context of the wider crime epidemic happening throughout the city is sound, according to John Moscatelli, senior vice president and COO of Anne Klein Communications Group LLC. Some of the things that happen in and around the campus are completely beyond the control of the University's administrators and the student body, he said, making it important for safety officials to place incidents in context. Jessica Tubbs, assistant program director of Security on Campus, an advocacy group, agreed, saying that, because the incidents on campus are unconnected, it's difficult to do anything about them. There's no explanation … for the randomness of the crimes, she said. Still, Penn students are concerned - especially because so many high-profile crimes have happened within a relatively short span of time. All of a sudden all of these things were happening at once, said College sophomore Sarah Sanchez. She added that, as a result of the two recent shootings at night clubs on 38th and Chestnut streets, she has begun to attend an earlier Mass at St. Agatha-St. James, a Catholic church located across the street from the site of the shootings. Now, Sanchez said, she doesn't feel comfortable leaving church at about 11 p.m. when the evening service usually gets out. And though Emily Price, a College sophomore, doesn't feel unsafe as a result of these incidents, she noted that it was strange that all these incidents have happened in such a short time span. © Copyright 2007 The Daily Pennsylvanian **Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
