Philly DA hopeful dons monitoring bracelet PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Voters in Philadelphia will have an easy time telling where one candidate for district attorney stands — with the help of a GPS ankle bracelet. Republican district attorney candidate Michael Untermeyer is wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet for the next month.

Untermeyer said Thursday the city could save millions of dollars by moving nonviolent defendants out of the prison system and keeping tabs on them electronically instead. Untermeyer says it costs $98 a day to keep someone locked up but just $8 a day to monitor them electronically. Democratic opponent Seth Williams says the ankle bracelet is just a gimmick and the prison overcrowding issue has no quick fix.

Yellowstone fire grows to 110 acres YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — A lightning-caused fire in Yellowstone National Park had grown to about 110 acres. Fire officials say that the Butte fire has been burning since Sunday near the summit of Druid Peak, along the Northeast Entrance Road, about 16 miles southwest of Cooke City, Mont. It is well away from any park attractions, roads and structures and so park managers are letting it burn for now. No trails are closed because of the fire. The National Park Service reports 15 fires in Yellowstone this summer. Thirteen of them were caused by lightning. So far, all but the Butte Fire have been less than a half acre in size.
