Police say an officer and three others were injured during an accident early Thursday morning in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia. This happened around 2 a.m. at 58th Street and Woodland Avenue. A car struck the police SUV after one of the vehicles ran a red light while the officer was responding to a call. The officer was taken Presbyterian Hospital with a possible head injury. Three people in the other vehicle were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries. All four are expected to recover. Also during the accident, the police SUV spun away, knocking down a traffic signal.

Thursday marks the nationâ€™s annual Day of Prayer and one Society Hill church has found an easy way for group prayer. Itâ€™s a prayer wall, inviting the community as people pass by to offer their prayers as they wish. This is at St. Peterâ€™s Church where parishioners spray-painted three large pieces of plywood, tying it to the brick barrier surrounding the church near 4th and Pine. On it they wrote the simple words â€œToday I prayâ€ and within hours, the twelve-foot board was filled with chalk-inscribed prayers for everything â€œfrom peace in Nepal to health for a 96-year-old parent, to good grades. Theyâ€™ll clean off the wall each day to give those passing by a chance to write new wishes. The wall will stay up throughout May.

According to a report in the journal Brain Imaging and Behavior, people may over-consume food in the evening because it may not be as appealing, and it takes more to fill the perceived need for calories. Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging studies to look at the brain activity of study volunteers as they were shown 360 images of low-calorie food and high-calorie foods. The participants were shown these images, once in the morning and once in the evening. The researchers found that the high-calorie foods consistently had a positive response, whatever time of day, but they were surprised to find that when images were shown of low-calorie foods in the evening, the functional MRI showed a decreased response for low-calorie foods when compared to high-calorie foods. Basically, the low-calorie foods were just not as appealing in the evening.
