Grease Pole Returns to S. Philly; Plane Wreckage Found; Charter Schools Get Lifeline

The grease pole is back. After nearly 20 years, the spectacle that was once was the centerpiece of the South Ninth Street Italian Market Festival returns this weekend. It's a 30 foot tall steel pole covered with pig fat. The object: climb to the top somehow. The pole is back to stay according to organizers. But if you want to give it a try, you must be 18, sign a liability waiver and pass a Breathalyzer test.

The Egyptian army says plane wreckage has been found 180 miles from Egypt's Alexandria. Investigators will inspect the plane debris and personal belongings in an effort to determine what took the plane down. The Airbus 320 plane operated by EgyptAir was carrying 66 people from Paris to Cairo when it disappeared off radar at around 2.45 a.m. yesterday.

Two charter school operators that were expected to lose two schools each, due to various academic and governance shortcomings, instead received temporary lifelines at Thursday night's School Reform Commission meeting. Aspira Inc., the North Philadelphia nonprofit dedicated to educating Latino children, was given one week to persuade the SRC to allow it to continue managing two of its struggling schools.
