The adage “all publicity is good publicity” has proven true for one of Philadelphia’s top companies, Urban Outfitters, whose president Richard Hayne recently received the coveted Edward Powell Award as an example of excellence in the city’s business community.

But in contrast to civic excellence, Hayne’s brand drew the ire of two ethnic groups Tuesday, with Saint Patrick’s

Federal officials raided the Center City home of Chaka “Chip” Fattah Jr. early yesterday and seized records and a computer from the law office of attorney David Shulick, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Shulick heads the board of directors of Delaware Valley High School, a forprofit alternative education provider. Fattah Jr., reportedly has received $450,000 from DVHS. Fattah currently is as president of 259 Strategies LLC, a consulting firm, according to his LinkedIn account. METRO/SDL

No raw deal for this milk RIKARD LARMA/METRO

The largest raw milk-related disease outbreak in Pennsylvania’s history, which sickened 43 people in four states, was traced back to Franklin County’s Family Cow farms. But advocates of the product say they have no intention to stop drinking it and purveyors say they’ve seen no decrease in demand.

“People who are into raw milk are very passionately into it,” said Paul Lawler, dairy and meat manager of the Reading Terminal’s Fair Food Farmstand, one of the city's leading vendors of raw milk.

He said that the Farmstand carried Family Cow farms raw milk until its voluntary recall in early February, but has not restocked it out of an abundance of caution. They have five other brands to choose from and have seen no decline in sales. “A lot of our customers come from pretty far

“And it creates economic opportunities for farmers – a dairy farmer who’s just selling liquid milk only makes pennies on the dollar, but raw milk is a much more valued product.”

A recent study from the

Center for Disease Control concluded that the risks of drinking raw milk outweighed its possible benefits, noting that there were 150 times more disease outbreaks linked to unpasteurized milk than pasteurized during the 13-year review.

“Real milk” advocacy group the Weston A. Price Foundation called the information supporting the conclusion “cherry picked” in a press release, noting that dairy products in total comprised an average of 112 food-borne illnesses per year out of almost 24,000.

itt Romney won the day on Tuesday (following Santorum’s surprise February hat trick) with a pair of muchneeded wins against his Republican primary opponents.

Or did he?

In Arizona, at least, Romney carried the day, collecting all 35 delegates in the state’s winner-take-all contest. But in Michigan — the candidate’s home state, where his father once governed and held an executive position at local job provider AMC — the win was murkier. There, Romney prevailed by a slim 3 percent margin, despite a significant money and ground advantage. And aside from the theoretical ef-

fect of his win-mentum, the fact is that the pair will mostly split the state’s delegate votes.

So where does that leave us — and them? Pundits are mixed on whether the lack of a delegate majority will force a brokered convention, but next week’s Super Tuesday may clear that up. In the meantime, we present some pertinent stats below to help inform your opinions.

Metro does not endorse the opinions of the author, or any opinions expressed on its pages.

gan by a 3-to-1 margin.

Whether that was due to the Santorum camp’s controversial robocalls — in which they called Democrats, encouraging them to come out and vote against Romney and, of course, for Santorum — remains unclear. Nearly 10 percent of voters in the open primary identified as Democrat, according to exit polls.

1,144 46 Romney won an estimated 46 delegates on Tuesday to Santorum’s estimated 13.

(The Santorum camp claims 15, but the final count will take a little while to sort out.)

In order to win the nomination, a candidate will have to secure 1,144 delegate votes by the August convention in Tampa — a majority of the total 2,286 delegates. Fox News estimates candidates’ current delegate shares as follows: Romney 209, Santorum 96, Newt Gingrich 32 and Ron Paul 19.

14

Due to GOP sanctions related to Michigan’s state party moving its primary to before Super Tuesday, however, only 14 of Romney’s estimated 21 Michigan delegates will be able to vote. Likewise for Santorum: Only 12 of his MI delegates can vote at the national convention.

THE WORD

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip In memoriam

Jones, ca. 1967

Davy Jones 1945-2012 Monkees singer Davy Jones died of a massive heart attack yesterday at age 66. Known for his theatrical smile, littleboy good looks and cheerful demeanor on the group’s hit TV show, Jones was the only Brit in the band full of Americans. His accented delivery of such hits as “Daydream Believer” and “I Wanna Be Free” helped make the group a cuddly commodity in the ’60s.

Jones and the Monkees would enjoy two great bursts of success, initially in the late ’60s and again in the mid’80s, when MTV and other networks began re-airing original “Monkees” episodes.

Jones’ other notable contributions to pop culture include pioneering the sashay dance that Axl Rose would later become known for, a memorable cameo on a “Brady Bunch” episode and serving as the reason that David Bowie (who was born David Jones) took up a stage name. PAT HEALY

Snooki: A little person expecting a little person?

Though she recently denied it, many news organizations are now reporting that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is indeed three months pregnant with boyfriend Jionni LaValle’s baby. The “Jersey Shore” star is reportedly looking to make the most of the announcement — and has even brokered a deal for a cover story with Us Weekly. Apparently, Snooki is looking to use her pregnancy to become “the next Kourtney Kardashian,” a source tells Page Six. But reps at MTV aren’t as excited, since Snooki is currently filming a “Jersey Shore” spin-off chroni-

cling her hard-partying lifestyle. “MTV went into crisis mode after they found out,” the source says. “They’re trying to hide it because it would greatly affect the creative direction of the show.”

I laughed at this because, well, “creative direction” and “‘Jersey Shore’ spin-off” do not go together. But then it makes sense: MTV’s programming is filled with a million bad parenting reality shows, from “Teen Mom” to “16 and Pregnant.”

Even they are probably loath to air a segment of Snooki taking her baby for her first spray tan.

“I think we definitely have a positive approach and that people love working with us because when you’re positive, people feel like they can open up,” Zaslow explains, adding that her company will only do blind dates. The client never gets to choose their match.

and pick someone who visually is right, but they don’t know anything about their insides,” Zaslow explains. “We spend so much time with our clients — that’s really our passion, the analyzing. We get invigorated by learning about people — what has worked for you, what hasn’t worked.”

On her new show, “The Love Broker,” Zaslow brings the cameras with her as she coaches her clients through the process of dating in New York City — a town that’s caught plenty of flack from Stanger, who once said that women in New York should “dumb it down a little bit.” Zaslow is a bit more optimistic about the state of dating in her city.

“I love New York. I love the people here. I feel like maybe it’s more of a challenge than in other cities because there are so many people,” she says. “That’s why people come here to find love and then move out of the city. People come here to meet people. I think New York’s known for that. It should be the Big Heart, not the Big Apple.” METRO/HP

Healthy reporting in news? Fat chance RE: “THE SKINNY ON EATING DISORDERS”: I found it quite

disturbing that Metro chose to run their eating disorder piece right next to one about how Emma Stone got her “red-carpet bod.” One of the reasons many women and girls suffer from low self esteem and eating disorders is that they’re constantly bombarded with the idea that their worth and value to society lies in their appearance.

There was also the bit on how wearing red is more attractive to men, and don’t even get

Manning up: Could Peyton be in play?

Colts QB generating buzz as March 8 approaches Medical expert thinks he should be ready, says decision is up to Manning Would Birds swoop in? Idea not that far-fetched

LETTERS@METRO.US GOT AN OPINION? SEND US YOUR THOUGHTS

Manning

The fans have spoken. The majority want Peyton Manning in Eagles green.

The message boards are abuzz, so too are talk radio lines. The common response to whether the Birds should sign Manning is: Why not? We got nothing to lose.

Manning underwent three procedures on his injured neck. The most recent, completed on Sept. 8, was a onelevel cervical neck fusion. Basically, the surgeon removed the herniated disc, which relieved the pressure on the

spine and nerves.

Dr. Andrew Hecht, co-chief of spine surgery at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, has never met Manning. But he has performed the one-level cervical neck fusion procedure on several big-time athletes, including college-level quarterbacks.

“Athletes who have this operation, you have no increased risk by going back to sports once they are healed,” said Dr. Hecht, who is also a spine surgical consultant for the New York Jets. “If you look at all the patients that have this surgery, they would return to contact sports, almost without exception.”

Dr. Hecht was quick to stress that he is basing his prognosis on his own experiences with the procedure.

From what he’s read about Manning’s situation, the QB has been cleared to play.

“From a medical standpoint, he should be OK to play,” Dr. Hecht said. “It’s Peyton Manning’s decision to make.”

MIKE GREGER

mgreger@metro.us

Why it makes

Why it doesn’t

sense for Birds

make sense

Eagles offensive line coach Howard Mudd served in the same capacity for much of Manning’s tenure in Indy.

Mike Vick has struggled at times picking up Mudd’s system, especially making calls at the line of scrimmage.

Andy Reid comes under fire for his game-day coaching — from wasting timeouts, not deviating from his “script,” to not making halftime adjustments. Manning has always run flawless offenses and serves as coach on the field.

He could shield Reid’s flaws.

If the Colts do indeed cut Manning by March 8, the Eagles wouldn’t have to give up anything to get him.

There is the tricky thing of figuring out what to pay him — he’s due $28 million — but an aging QB coming off a very serious injury might be in the Birds’ budget.

Eagles signed Mike Vick to a six-year, $100 million deal last August. While the team can opt out of the contract after next season, the Birds would eat a $7 million signing bonus. And then they’d either have to find a trading partner or convince Vick to be a backup. Good luck.

Reid has been drooling over No. 7 since his days in Atlanta and now he has him in his stable. It would be really hard to see Reid giving up on his reclamation project. After all, Vick all but promised Big Red a ring last season.

No one knows how healthy Manning is, or if he can ever be the Super Bowl-winning QB he once was. It’s already been reported that Manning’s velocity is down and he has been having trouble throwing to his left and across his body.

Friends say Peyton plays Coaches aren’t allowed to observe Manning until April, per the NFL’s new labor agreement.

However, the Colts’ medical staff is allowed since he failed his exit physical. Manning is due a $28 million option from the Colts by March 8. Or they can cut him.

Manning’s teammate, Jeff Saturday, has been in contact with him.

“He’ll be playing football, I can assure you that,” Saturday said. “I hope it’s here, but he’ll be playing somewhere.”

METRO

Peyton Manning is far from a sure thing healthwise, but the Eagles might be wise to make a phone call.
