All the juicy news you'll miss if you don't pick up today's paper.

- Isaiah Thompson talks to Temple prof/toxin expert Michael Boufadel, who argues that Philadelphia officials need to commission a study on the dangers of Shale drilling — since state politicians are dropping the ball.

- Will Councilman Frank DiCicco's proposed bill to extend the city's tax-abatement program period to 15 years in low-income neighborhoods actually, y'know, create more low-income housing? Yowei Shaw finds out.

- A Million Stories makes fun of City Controller Alan Butkovitz, Attorney General Tom Corbett and Committee of Seventy CEO Zack Stalberg. That's right, Stalberg! Shiiiit, A Million Stories boldly goes were no journalist has gone before.

- E. James Beale claims that soccer has finally made it in America. Europe disagrees.

- And in columns: Brian Howard recaps his booze-filled vacation, ManOverboard! gets all Pavlovian on us, and Bruce Schimmel bids adieu.
