Former Police man stirs up cops' ire

The former lead singer of the Police won't be welcomed by the cops when he comes to Pennsylvania for a concert this month.

The reason? Sting supports Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is on Death Row for the slaying of a Philadelphia police officer. Abu-Jamal's supporters say he didn't get a fair trial.

It is the world's largest organization of rank and file sworn officers, with over 2100 local lodges and over 325,000 members.  Lodge 27, which represents at least 900 retired and active Delaware County police officers, plans to call on officers from around Southeastern Pennsylvania to protest the singer's concert, said lodge president Joseph Fitzgerald.

Sting is scheduled to perform in Upper Darby on Nov. 14.

Johnny Cash goes home from hospital

Johnny Cash has been released from a Nashville, Tenn., hospital where he spent two weeks being treated for pneumonia.

The 67-year-old country star went home from Baptist Hospital on Sunday night, hospital spokeswoman Jessica Etz said.

Cash has Shy-Drager's Syndrome, which can cause blackouts, tremors and muscle stiffness, and makes him more susceptible to contracting pneumonia. He was hospitalized twice last year for pneumonia and nearly died from it last fall.

Cash's hits include ``A Boy Named Sue'' and ``I Walk the Line.''

Several of the athletes, who were in town for a match against American University, went topless while posing for the photo. It was their luck to do it just as a Washington Post photographer happened by.

Later, after defeating American, 19-0, the same group did it again, university officials said.

The team's captain, Megan Cowley, told the newspaper her teammates ``wanted to do something crazy. . . . It kind of makes us closer.''

The stunt was noted in Sunday's newspaper and the players received immediate discipline upon their return to school. The club normally practices twice a week, and officials hoped to resolve the matter in a way that was fair to the nonbaring teammates before any practices had to be called off, said J. Michael Dunn, the university's director of recreational sports.

Dunn added that the participants he spoke with viewed it at the time as a bonding experience but were chagrined after seeing what it looked like in print.
