A man accused of a 2008 murder is pursuing a controversial "gay-panic" defense in a Philadelphia court. Sara Jacobson, director of trial advocacy at Temple's Beasley School of Law, said there were no specific provisions for the gay-panic defense under the state criminal code unless it's used in conjunction with insanity or self-defense. In her 10 years as a city public defender, Jacobson said, she never saw it employed. "It strikes me as a defense theory that gets substituted for self-defense when self-defense isn't a good defense theory," she said.

Tweets, Facebook status updates and personal blogs now make it possible for our friends and followers to instantly know the most intimate details about our lives.

As Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter heads toward his re-election year, a bruising budget battle with Council has left him answering questions about his political acuity and management skills. Temple political scientist Michael Hagen says Nutter has faced a lot of challenges. "It's been a difficult time for anybody in public service," says Hagen, "especially for a leader of a large sprawling government. My feeling is that he has satisfied more people than he has disappointed to this point."

Factory orders for big-ticket manufactured goods declined in May, but excluding transportation, orders rose as manufacturing continued to help drive the recovery. Manufacturers are investing in equipment and repairs that they put off during the recession, Temple economist William Dunkelberg told the AP. "We will be replacing more and more machinery and repairing facilities, because the corporate sector does have a lot of cash and they're sitting there looking for things to do with that money," he said.

A new Convention Hall in Cape May could generate $550,000 per year in revenue and as much as $850,000 to $900,000 under the best conditions, according to Aubrey Kent, director of the Sport Management Program at Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Kent's program is involved in a tourism project with Cape May. Kent said he has tried to balance past uses of the Convention Hall with the "revenue-generating potential of what this spectacular new building will give us."
