Camden police brace for cutbacks The force must find cuts totaling $13.7 million. Layoffs are possible. By Darran Simon and Matt Katz INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS

Before the emergency meeting, officers from all shifts and districts shared jokes and hugs with colleagues they don’t see often. But many of the Camden police officers packed in the union hall quickly grew somber last week as union leaders talked about the imminent cut of millions of dollars in city spending. After a volley of questions, a detective asked union chief John Williamson, who led the meeting, what guarantee there was that they wouldn’t have the same conversation this time next year, in the same hall. Williamson, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 1, said, “We may very well be” in the same place in 2011. For now, Camden officers, like those in some of New Jersey’s other cities, face deep cuts because of reductions in state aid from the Christie administration. Layoffs are expected elsewhere, and the threat of lost jobs hangs over the Camden force. The roughly 390-member department that polices one of the nation’s historically most dangerous cities has to cut $13.7 million in salaries and wages to help Camden plug a $28 million deficit for fiscal year 2011. Mayor Dana L. Redd has ordered all departments to slash 24 percent of costs in time for a city budget to See CUTS on A4

Seth Grove first heard about the “sexting” problem from his wife: nude photos of teens spinning from one student’s cell phone to the next. There was a boy from Florida charged with a felony for sending around a photo of his girlfriend after they had a fight; a girl in Ohio who hanged herself after her ex-boyfriend shared a photo of her. “And then it happened in my alma mater high school,” said Grove, a state representative from York County. Eighteen students were suspended last year after pictures of two girls at Spring Grove Area High were circulated to the boy’s soccer team. That should be against the law, Grove thought. Earlier this month, Pennsylvania joined 20 other states to consider legislation prohibiting minors from sexting — electronically sending sexually explicit photos or text. Grove’s bill would impose a range of penalties, from a summary offense much like a traffic ticket to felony charges. The goal, said Grove, a Republican, is not to send children to juvenile jail for petty pranks but to create a law to protect them from themselves — and one another. “We want to make sure these pictures don’t victimize kids even more,” Grove said. But opponents near and far say criminalizing this behavior is unnecSee TEXTS on A4

Terren Pray Jackson spent 15 days at Pennsylvania Hospital after his weeks-early birth.

Changing attitudes on risks of early birth By Marie McCullough INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

About three years ago, the medical world embraced a small change in terminology that has big significance for babies such as Terren Pray Jackson, born a handful of weeks too early at Pennsylvania Hospital. “We started using the words late preterm instead of near term to refer to them,” explained Eileen McCarron, a physician assistant in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care nursery. “That’s when we realized the extra needs of this age group.” Near term implies what doctors used to believe: that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks are nearly the same as those who emerge when they should, at 38 to 41 weeks. Late preterm, in contrast, reflects the chillier conclusions of recent research and recommendations: Babies should not be delivered before 39 weeks unless there is a compelling medical reason because they are physically immature. Even though they often look reassuringly

Billy the Kid pardon faces a showdown

New Mexico governor will meet with kin of the man who shot the outlaw. By Barry Massey ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA FE, N.M. — The showdown between Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid has fascinated the American public for nearly 130 years, with its classic Old West story line of the frontier lawman hunting down the notorious gunslinger. As it turns out, the feud isn’t completely over. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is considering granting a posthumous pardon to Billy the Kid, angering descendants of Garrett who call it an insult to recognize such a violent outlaw. Three of the late lawman’s grandchildren have sent Richardson a letter asking him not to pardon the outlaw, saying such an act would represent an “inexcusable defamation” of Garrett. “If Billy the Kid was living amongst us now, would you issue a pardon for someone who made his living as a thief and, more egregiously, who killed four law enforcement officers and numerous others?” the Garrett family wrote. The issue resurfaced because Richardson asked a New Mexico columnist earlier this year to check with historians to measure their support for issuing a pardon. The governor plans to meet with Garrett family members this week to discuss the issue. Garrett shot Billy the Kid down on July 14, 1881. Garrett tracked him after the outlaw escaped from the Lincoln County jail in a famous gun battle that left two deputies dead. The Kid’s status as an Old West folk hero grew as countless books, films, and songs were written about the gunslinger and his exploits. According to legend, he killed 21 people, one for each year of his life, but the New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine. The pardon dispute is the latest in a long-running fight over whether Garrett shot the real Kid or someone else and then lied about it. Some history buffs claim Billy the Kid didn’t die in the shootout with Garrett and landed in Texas, where he went by “Brushy Bill” Roberts and died of a heart attack at age 90 in 1950. Richardson joined the tussle in 2003, supporting a plan by then-Lincoln County Sheriff Tom Sullivan to reinvestigate the century-old case. The governor said he was willing to consider a pardon for the Kid — something the outlaw hoped for but never received from New Mexico territorial Gov. Lew Wallace. “Governor Richardson has always said that he would consider making good on Governor Wallace’s promise to Billy

Mullen: U.S. has Iran attack plans

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has a plan to attack Iran, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday, although he said he thought a strike was probably a bad idea. Not long after Adm. Mike Mullen’s comments aired on Meet the Press, the deputy chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was quoted as saying there would be a strong Iranian response should the United States take military action against his country. Mullen, the highest-ranking U.S. military officer, often has warned that a strike on Iran would have serious and unpredictable ripple effects around the Middle East. At the same time, he said the risk of Iran’s developing a nuclear weapon was unacceptable, although he would not say which risk he thought was worse. — AP

Wendy’s robber wanted more

ATLANTA — Police say a man who robbed a fast-food restaurant with a gun was so mad about the amount of loot that he called back twice to complain. The man walked up to the drive-through window of an Atlanta Wendy’s late Saturday night, wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. He demanded the cash drawer, grabbed it, and ran away. But police say he later called the restaurant to complain about the amount. Police say in one call he said that “next time there better be more than $586.” He called again with a similar complaint. — AP

Dick Cheney is still hospitalized

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney is still in the hospital after heart surgery in early July. Daughter Liz Cheney told Fox News Sunday that her father was out of intensive care and hoped to return home this week. She said he was already planning trips for flyfishing and hunting this year. Dick Cheney, 69, has had five heart attacks since age 37. In his recent surgery at a northern Virginia hospital, Cheney had a small pump installed to help his heart work. After the operation, Cheney said in a statement that he was entering a new phase of treatment for what he called “increasing congestive heart failure.” — AP

Camden police brace for cutbacks

International Space Station cooling system on the fritz By Marcia Dunn

The first repair space walk likely would be Thursday at the earliest, with the second excursion two or three days later. A final decision on whether to proceed with the task will be made after an additional engineering review. Among the equipment switched off for now are the global-positioning system circuit, several power converters, and a set of devices that route commands to various equipment. Two of the four gyroscopes initially were shut down — part of the space station’s pointing and navigating system. But the crew installed a jumper cable to power a third gyroscope, leaving the station in a much more stable position. The crew consists of three Americans and three Russians. No space shuttle visits are planned before November. Only two U.S. shuttle missions remain before the fleet is retired; a third and final flight for next summer is under consideration.

JESSICA KOURKOUNIS

Marissa Miller, 15, shown in 2009 with her mother, MaryJo Miller, was threatened with charges over a cell-phone photo. The Millers fought back, winning their case in federal court.

Pa. legislation targets ‘sexting’ by teenagers TEXTS from A1 essary and violates free expression and privacy rights. “The way this bill is written, constitutionally protected activity is criminalized,” said Andy Hoover, legislative director for ACLU of Pennsylvania. “So in the scenario where a teenage couple is sharing pictures with each other, and they involve only nudity, not sex acts, they can be charged.” If passed, he said, the sexting law would allow the government to overly intrude in children’s lives. “Teaching kids about their sexuality is the job that belongs to parents and educators, not prosecutors.”

Slumber party photos

The landmark case that landed Pennsylvania at the forefront of a national debate over sexting began in a tiny town tucked into the state’s Endless Mountains. In 2009, MaryJo Miller was told by the Wyoming County district attorney that he had a cell-phone photo of her 15-year-old daughter, Marissa, posing “fully nude” with another girl. Further, Marissa was facing child-pornography charges along with 15 other students at Tunkhannock Area High caught up in a “sexting” sweep. But when Miller took one look at the photo that the district attorney pushed across his desk, she breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t be serious, Miller thought. The photo had been taken three years earlier, at Marissa’s slumber party. There she was with her friend, shot from the waist up, both in training bras. Marissa was talking on the phone. Her friend was making a peace sign. How, asked Miller and her ex-husband, could this be construed as pornography? Had the district attorney seen a Sears catalog? Had he ever walked by a Victoria’s Secret store? But the district attorney, George Skumanick Jr., wasn’t kidding. He threatened to press charges unless Marissa took “reeducation classes” and confessed to her crime. The Millers fought back, winning their case in March in a federal court in Philadelphia. Valerie Burch, an ACLU lawyer who represented the Millers and three other students, said none of the photos she is defending constitutes pornography. Pictures of breasts do not qualify as pornography, nor does a bare bottom. “Full nudity isn’t even porn,” said Burch. “In order to be porn, something has to include lascivious exhibition of the genitals.”

A difficult position

Prosecutors with the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, which backed Grove’s bill, argue that the lack of a clear sexting statute puts them in a tough spot. While they do not want to prosecute children, they say, current child-pornography laws make sexting a felony, even for minors, which could result in a permanent record and registration as a sex offender for 10 years or more. Jeff Mitchell, the new Wyoming County district attorney, said that when dealing with a critical sexting case, “for prosecutors the only option is to charge on child pornography, which is not feasible. It’s too harsh.” “The statute was intended for adults who compile porno-

graphic images of children,” said Mitchell, who became district attorney in January, after defeating Skumanick. “This is children having images of themselves or peers and they’re texting them back and forth.” There can be serious consequences, from excruciating embarrassment to felony charges to ruined lives. In some cases, sexting photos have drawn the interest of alleged pedophiles — including in Tunkhannock. “These images draw predators like a swamp draws mosquitoes,” said Michael J. Donohue, a Scranton lawyer who represented Skumanick in the Miller case. “This is just an effort by the legislature to stop what is an alarming and dangerous practice.” Opponents of the bill say sexting is poorly understood, poorly defined, and poorly investigated. As a result, in Pennsylvania at least, more than two dozen teenagers have been threatened or charged with felonies, including 12 students in Westmoreland and Perry Counties. In May, the Tunkhannock sexting sweep that pulled in Marissa Miller came up again when a student, now 19, identified as “N.N.” to protect her privacy, sued the high school principal and law enforcement officials for violating her constitutional rights and refusing to destroy or return her nude cell-phone photos. According to the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Scranton, a teacher confiscated N.N.’s phone in January 2009 after she used it at school, which is forbidden. The principal then turned it over to law enforcement when he discovered “explicit” photographs. The nude photos, about 15, showed N.N. mostly clothed, but also topless. She said she had not shared them with anyone and thought she might show them to her boyfriend. Later, after N.N. served a three-day suspension, she and her mother went to the District Attorney’s Office — Skumanick’s at the time — to recover the phone. When the mother stepped away, the suit says, a detective told N.N. that it was a shame she hadn’t waited until after her 18th birthday because “instead of getting into trouble, she could have submitted the photographs directly to Playboy magazine.” “They shouldn’t even have these pictures — they were obtained illegally, since there was no crime,” said the ACLU’s Burch, who represents N.N. “She doesn’t want these grown men looking at her pictures, which are very private.” Mitchell, who as the new district attorney is now a defendant in that case, said he could not comment. Donohue, representing Skumanick, disputed N.N.’s account and said he would file a response to her lawsuit.

Spin the bottle, updated

Anne Collier, codirector of ConnectSafely.org, a nonprofit online youth-safety organization, said sexting was really the modern version of spin the bottle, or truth or dare. “There is a right way to handle these situations,” said Collier, who cochairs a national task force for online safety. “I don’t want any child to be dragged through the legal system for making a really stupid mistake.” In the Miller case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit established precedent in ruling that if the

text is not child pornography but rather protected by the First Amendment, a district attorney may not file childpornography charges, Burch said. “It warns district attorneys that just because it’s teens sending sexy pictures of themselves,” said Burch, “they better not jump on the kids … unless they … established that that was child pornography.” Not child photography. The fate of Pennsylvania’s sexting bill now sits with the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Stewart J. Greenleaf (R., Montgomery). Greenleaf said he hopes to pass a version this year but wants to ensure that the penalties fit the crime. “What I’m trying to do is provide an alternative so that the prosecuting attorney can file something against them if appropriate without giving them a criminal record,” Greenleaf said. In the interim, prosecutors, principals, and parents are left to navigate a complicated cyberworld on their own. Like educators across the country, Hatboro-Horsham school Superintendent William Lessa has dealt more and more with the downside of teenage romance in the era of cell phones. It starts innocently enough with couples sharing intimate texts or photos, he said, but after the breakup, the sexting goes viral. “It’s happened in probably every high school in America,” Lessa said. “It ends up in the wrong hands because somebody shares it with the wrong person.” Contact staff writer Trish Wilson at 610-313-8095 or twilson@phillynews.com.

now the country’s northwest, where water levels at dams continued to rise. The growing frustration with the government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa this weekend is a large blow to Islamabad, which is often criticized for being disconnected from the needs of the people in the province, a pivotal battleground against the Islamic insurgency. The demanding relief effort in the coming days and weeks

will provide yet another test for the government to nurture the population in the nation’s northwest. Last summer, during the mass displacement, Pakistani authorities refused to allow U.S. officials and planes to deliver aid to the refugee camp. The authorities did not want to be associated with their unpopular ally. In the absence of effective government aid, hard-line Islamist charities pounced, us-

ing aid to sour public opinion against the war and the United States. “The flood has devastated us all, and I don’t know where my family has gone,” Hakimullah Khan, a resident of Charsadda town, told the Associated Press on Sunday. “Water is all around and there is no help in sight,” Khan said, complaining that the government had not helped him search for his missing wife and three children.

Emirates plan crackdown on BlackBerry

Sarkozy attacked for remarks

spondingly difficult. As a result, Research in Motion officials have clashed with officials elsewhere in recent years. In 2008, security agencies in India suggested that BlackBerry service might be shut down there unless the company installed servers in the country to allow messages to be intercepted. The company refused, but it sent representatives to meet with the government. Indian regulators, while expressing reservations, have said they have no plans to restrict the service. Analysts and telecommunications experts also say they believe that security concerns delayed the arrival of BlackBerry service in China. It is unclear what actions the company took, if any, to alleviate worries there. There were conflicting reports Sunday about whether

Saudi Arabia also would ban the BlackBerry services. Some news agencies cited an interview with a Saudi Telecom official on the Al-Arabiya television network that confirmed the decision, but in other Al-Arabiya reports company officials denied service would be cut off. In the United Arab Emirates, concerns also are fueled by the fact that native Emiratis are a minority there, and the government regards electronic surveillance as an important tool against would-be terrorists, swindlers, and other potential troublemakers drawn to the Emirates’ relatively unfettered environment. The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates in the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula bordering Saudi Arabia. Among the seven states are Abu Dhabi and Dubai, both economic power-

houses that encourage international trade and discourage financing of radical Islamic movements. Because of this, Krane suggested, the security concerns are not unfounded. In a statement Sunday, a government body in the Emirates, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, said officials were prepared to block BlackBerry data service starting Oct. 11 because it is the only service in the Emirates that exports mobile data to servers outside its borders. It will not affect phone service. The agency also said that it had been trying since 2007 to strike a deal under which it would assume authority over BlackBerry services within the Emirates. There are about 500,000 BlackBerry users in the United Arab Emirates, a large number of them in the business hub of Dubai.

The records showed a Louis Volpe living with his wife, Ella, and their three children at 1847 S. Sartain St., a slight stretch of lane in the heart of what was Italian South Philadelphia. Volpe’s listed occupation: house plumber. Gill went back another decade, to the 1920 census. There again was Louis Volpe. He was 23 and living on Mole Street, working as a plumber and caring for his widowed mother. The 1910 census revealed more: At that time Volpe was a boy of 13, living at 1200 Mifflin Street, in a house owned by his father, Michael. The father, who had emigrated from Italy in 1885, operated a barbershop. Gill figures that Volpe’s son, also named Michael, would now be about 90 if he were alive. Gill searched for him on the Internet and in phone books, and a friend checked cemetery records. So far, no luck.

A hand up

Gill was surprised to find

the message, but not that Christ Church would have hired workers in the depths of the Depression. In a sense, the church was the stimulus package of the day. And people who benefited did not forget. One time, Gill went to buy cutlery for the church from a local restaurant-supply firm. The owner wouldn’t accept payment, saying the church “kept me alive during the Depression.” Another time, at a Fishtown glass company, an old-timer shuffled out of the back shop to tell how the Rev. Washburn paid him a nickel a night to set pins at the bowling alley in the Neighborhood House. “That nickel,” the old man told Gill, “fed my mother and my father and my sisters.” Today, people know Christ Church as “the Nation’s Church,” the house of worship for Revolutionary War leaders including George Washington. It’s a key part of Independence National Historical Park and visited by 300,000 people a year. The church considers itself “a public church,” open to all and answering its call through programs that in-

The 400-member congregation comes mostly from Center City. “The Neighborhood House was built to serve the neighborhood, and the parishioners of Christ Church still take that very, very seriously,” said the Rev. Timothy Safford, the rector. “The bathtub inscription has reminded us that [while times have changed from when] Old City was tenements and slums, and there was no Independence National Park, Old City is still a neighborhood with lots of social needs.” When Washburn became rector in 1907, the church was regarded mostly as a historic structure, attracting only the curious or patriotic, author Gary B. Nash wrote in Landmarks of the American Revolution. “It took much time, considerable controversy and finally a crusading, progressive rector, Louis Cope Washburn,” Nash wrote, “to reinvent Christ Church as an urban church serving the down-

trodden people of its parish while preserving the edifice as a historic shrine.” Washburn preached the gospel of social services — and the 1911 construction of the Neighborhood House was part of that. It ran everything from lunch programs to baby clinics to summer camps. By the early 1940s it contained a basketball court. The Washburn House was built in 1932, named to honor the rector upon his 25th anniversary at the church. It originally was home to the church caretaker. Today, renovation has linked the two buildings via a central glass entryway and provided accessible space for everything from theater performances to tai chi classes. The apartment itself is empty. Eventually it will be reconfigured for meeting rooms. The tub and its message will be preserved in place. Gill never did find the source of the leak. Somehow, it seemed to have stopped.

EDITORIALS Founded in 1829

DRPA needs budget diet

ho can blame South Jersey lawyer Michael Joyce for making sure his daughter didn’t pay the bridge tolls while taking classes in Philadelphia? As the Delaware River Port Authority’s public safety director, Joyce knew better than most that the agency running the bridges was effectively setting fire to piles of money — for example, by paying him $189,000 a year. So of course he gave his child a DRPA E-ZPass transponder that would let her cross the Delaware for free. Letting his own flesh and blood support such extravagance would have made Joyce not just a bad public servant, but a bad father. The bright side of Joyce’s adventure in innovative transportation funding — besides his resignation last week — is that it helped force a host of Pennsylvania and New Jersey politicians, from the governors on down, to pretend they just realized the DRPA is a mess. Sure, there were a few other glaring signs: the authority’s ability to fund stadiums, museums, and other projects that have little to do with bridge-painting; a threatened 25 percent toll hike that was eventually postponed; and governance practices so opaque that even Philadelphia union boss John J. Dougherty realized something was amiss. The rising calls for reform may be rooted, fittingly enough, in a patronage dispute between the DRPA’s executive staff and Dougherty, a member of the agency’s board. But the most potent symbol of this crisis is the E-ZPass transponder that Joyce unilaterally transferred from a fired secretary to his daughter. Mind you, to oversee about 160 employees, Joyce was making almost as much as Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey gets to run a force of 6,600. The DRPA’s own consultant figured Joyce deserved a pay cut of about $50,000. He was so expensive that even his subordinates were costly by human standards: The DRPA chief of police, for example, makes $130,000 a year. And Joyce was moonlighting as a $67,000-ayear part-time solicitor for Pennsauken — presumably to make ends meet.

Maybe objections to the free E-ZPass an official gave to his daughter will finally change DRPA’s expensive habits.

A DRPA employee gets a close look at a cable during an inspection of the Ben Franklin Bridge.

What could possibly motivate a man drawing more than a quarter of a million dollars in government compensation to take pains to spare one of his dependents from paying four bucks to cross a bridge? Only a deep-seated and probably pervasive belief that the DRPA exists primarily for the personal benefit of the political appointees who nominally manage it. Not to worry: DRPA chairman John Estey says officials have been busy “professionalizing” the agency in recent years — a frightening prospect given the recent revelations. What was the agency doing before it was professionalized? And is professionalism really a concept that’s being introduced to an agency that operates four bridges and a rail line? Here’s a guiding principle for all of the politicians now joining the professionalization process: The DRPA simply doesn’t need and isn’t suited to a bloated staff of failed politicians pursuing an expansive mission of pork and patronage propagation. Let’s limit it to running a railroad and a few bridges. It’s a humble task, but it’s serious enough to occupy what should be a small government agency.

Youth should be a factor

he Supreme Court ruling in May that juveniles jailed for life should have a chance for parole is unlikely to change attitudes for those who believe teens convicted of brutal crimes should be locked up and the key thrown away. That much should be apparent during testimony Wednesday at a Pennsylvania House hearing scheduled in Philadelphia, where the House Judiciary Committee will consider legislation in response to the high-court ruling. Along with legal experts and juvenile-justice rights advocates, the panel will hear from several crime victims and a victims’ advocacy group — all witnesses likely to oppose parole for teen lifers. But state lawmakers and trialand appellate-court judges nonetheless will need to face up to the compelling logic behind the Supreme Court ruling — driven, in part, by what the court called “evolving standards of decency.” Just as the Supreme Court concluded in its earlier landmark ruling abolishing the death penalty for juveniles, its May ruling on parole pointed to scientific evidence that teens’ brains are undeveloped. That makes juveniles susceptible to bad decisions, but also means they are more capable of rehabilitation with maturity. Even though the ruling focused on life without parole in non-homicide cases, it impacts all juvenile crimes. It stands as a particular moral challenge to Pennsylvania, where prisons hold about one in five of all U.S. juvenile lifers. In fact, six Pennsylvania con-

Even with the most despicable crimes, the age of young offenders should be considered in sentencing them. victs’ causes are being taken up as test cases by area lawyers, joined by experts from law schools in San Francisco and Boston. New sentencing hearings are being sought for these lifers, according to Bradley S. Bridge of the Defender Association of Philadelphia. The high court ruling, Bridge says, provides “an opportunity for a lot of change.” Beyond those half-dozen cases, there are hundreds of lifers who, by virtue of underage convictions, deserve a shot at parole. Not all, of course, should be set free. But under a proposal by Rep. Kenyatta J. Johnson (D., Phila.), the courts would be given discretion to review these inmates’ life-without-parole sentences. His legislation (H.B. 1999) also would require that future life sentences given juveniles come with the proviso for parole. State leaders have a duty to enact sentencing reforms befitting a nation that values justice so highly, while also addressing the possibility of parole for juvenile lifers now behind bars. The hearing on Rep. Johnson’s legislation will be Wednesday at 10 a.m. in City Hall Room 400.

Bush given a pass on immigration

Obama following Chavez to fascism

Cops shouldn’t be guarding work sites

Republican-controlled Arizona waited until George W. Bush left office to pass its controversial immigration laws. I guess this immigration situation was under control until President Obama was elected. Republican leaders have also called for an extension of the tax cuts for the wealthy to help stimulate the economy, as if this policy has been doing that for the past three years. They must mean to stimulate the economy of some other country, like China.

The only motive I can imagine for Oliver Stone to produce his propaganda movie South of the Border is to mess up American minds. Contrary to Mark Weisbrot’s article (“What Hugo Chavez could teach Obama,” July 15), President Obama is attempting, with all his might, to emulate Chavez. Most Americans are poorly informed about Latin America and don’t know Chavez is far along in establishing a fascist state in Venezuela. I ask fellow citizens to see Stone’s propaganda for what it is, and work to maintain our freedom.

With the city’s budget under enormous pressure, and Mayor Nutter struggling to maintain the strength of an effective, crime-fighting police force, why do we see so many idling squad cars and officers guarding roadwork sites? Why can’t these jobs go to unemployed and underemployed citizens at much lower wages? Are we paying overtime to the police while padding the earnings upon which their future pensions are based?

Not everyone has abused DROP It is one thing for Ralph Cipriano to have his biased view of the DROP program, but it is wrong to publish it without demanding he explain the program better (“No stopping city's runaway gravy train,” Tuesday). The DROP payments, which Cipriano erroneously refers to as bonuses, are made by the Philadelphia Board of Pensions, and do not come from the city’s operating budget. Cipriano further insinuates that the city’s large jump in pension costs is due to DROP. This is a total fabrication. The increased funding costs are due to chronic underfunding of the pension system in years past, state laws mandating a set level of funding, and, most recently, stock-market losses. I further take offense at Cipriano’s attempt to lump together all DROP participants. Please do not put us all in the same category of those shameless few who have abused the program by accepting DROP payments and then allowing themselves to be reelected or rehired.

End commissions to save money Gov. Christie is going after school officials’ salaries while much bigger fish are at his feet. He should eliminate 99 percent of all commissions and authorities at the state, county, and local levels. These entities were created not for the good of the people, but for the politicians and former politicians who have absolutely no experience in these areas; not that they actually do any work. We don’t need sewer authorities; we need sewer departments. We don’t need water commissions; we need water departments.

I am disturbed when nonfacts cobbled together with stirring music and an authoritative voice-over are presented as the truth. Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak’s speaking at a Council on American-Islamic Relations dinner is being warped into just such a conclusion. Gov. Rendell and State Sen. Andy Dinniman also attended. Among the subjects Sestak addressed was his steadfast support of Israel. He suggested to those present that they need to accept Israel’s right to exist. Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey seems to be arguing that he is a greater supporter of Israel. How then does he explain his two “no” votes for appropriations to Israel within his three terms as a congressman?

Earmarks are the root of some evil Harold Jackson’s July 25 “Under the Sun” column about states’ rights comments on the obligation of members of Congress to balance the needs of their local constituents with the nation’s “general good.” In today’s partisan world, temptation lurks on both sides. The folks back home want you to deliver on appropriations, jobs, and favors, and to support their beliefs. Your national party, and its financial backers, push you to support “greater good” causes that, sometimes, are driven by political opportunism. What’s a poor public servant to do? One quick fix would be to just say no to all earmarks and to omnibus appropriations bills that are stuffed with pet projects. The longer-term solution would require a world where one could be elected to Congress without having to raise multimillion dollars of campaign funds and agree to vote the party line on every major bill. One can dream. Jim Lundberg Newtown Lundbergjames@hotmail.com

Question Toomey’s support of Israel

Hans Bombeck Philadelphia

Believed Obama would end America’s two wars When I made calls and eventually voted for Barack Obama, I did so with the understanding that he and the Democratic majority in Congress would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, not only have these conflicts not been resolved, but one, Iraq, remains an uncertain quagmire, and the other, Afghanistan, has escalated. There is an absolute disconnect between those of us who voted for hope and change — and yes, peace — and our leaders in the White House and Congress. We voted to end the politicization of war, and to get back to the ideals and values this country was built on. Instead, our country continues to throw trillions of dollars into bottomless pits in two godforsaken countries, while our economy and infrastructure at home crumble, and worse, people continue to die. The American people do not have the stomach for wars in two countries that most people here cannot even locate on a map. A secure United States is one that is economically sound, and where its citizens are confident in its leaders to make the right decisions. For those of us who lived through the Vietnam era, we are all too clear about how this story will end. It won’t.

Commentary Iran’s loony but dangerous leader is under pressure. Let’s keep it that way.

In bad times and good, organizations have to tend to their finances for survival’s sake.

“They [the United States and Israel] have decided to attack at least two countries in the region in the next three months.” — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, July 26

By R. Andrew Swinney

R. Andrew Swinney is the president of the Philadelphia Foundation, which provides grants and scholarships to Southeastern Pennsylvania nonprofits. The foundation’s white paper “Nonprofit Fiscal Health and Sustainability” is available at its website, www.philafound.org.

Ahmadinejad on the ropes

Toward sounder nonprofits

any Pennsylvania nonprofits are financially fragile for reasons that include state politics and the economy. But their trouble may have even more to do with their business models. Too many nonprofits make operational decisions based on insufficient financial data, fueled by a disproportionate focus on their missions, rather than their long-term market viability. It’s the responsibility of nonprofits’ funders, board members, and communities to correct this imbalance if the nonprofits that they care about most — and that serve us all — are to survive. The root of the problem is that the market forces that provide feedback in the business world generally don’t do so for nonprofits. In economic downturns, businesses adjust production, pricing, marketing, and staffing based on demand for their products. They also use research and development to improve their efficiency, product quality, and competitiveness. Their shareholders have a financial interest in ensuring that necessary adjustments are made. By contrast, a nonprofit’s revenue comes mainly from the voluntary contributions of individuals, foundations, and government. During economic downturns, demand for the “products” of nonprofits — especially in the case of socialservice organizations serving the most vulnerable — tends to increase even as funding diminishes. Nonprofits’ decisions about programs, staffing, and sustainability generally are not based on research about their comparative effectiveness or the viable alternatives. Given their tight budgets, nonprofits are unlikely to pay for research and development even in a good economy. Moreover, the “shareholders” of nonprofits — those who serve on their boards, as well as the community at large — are not necessarily direct investors and therefore may lack a direct financial stake in ensuring that necessary adjustments are made. And in a weak economy, nonprofits’ survival becomes even more dependent on their ability to appeal to a cadre of supporters who are committed to carrying out the mission. There is a better way. As counterintuitive as it may seem, nonprofits must focus now — in the short term — on their long-term fiscal health. They need to have frank discussions with donors about the crucial value of capitalization, and about avoiding slow starvation by investment in infrastructure and overhead. Nonprofits also must tell their supporters that they need general operating support and an established funding pipeline through planned giving programs just as much as — if not more than — they need underwriting of splashy new endeavors with naming rights. What’s at stake is the very fabric of our community and the quality of life we enjoy, which depend on the nonprofits that teach, heal, and entertain us, those that support our natural areas, and especially those that care for the people who fall through the holes in our overburdened social services safety net. The way to ensure the fiscal health of nonprofits is not to lie down and hope that the current economic crisis passes, but to develop healthy habits that strengthen nonprofits’ resilience and ensure they have long, fulfilling lives.

Fries with that? Maybe you don’t have to refuse Ronald (or Ed) based on body mass alone.

More than the sum of our BMIs

The Body Mass Index doesn’t mean as much as some would have you believe. By Patrick Basham and John Luik

he fat police are coming to a doctor’s office near you. Under the terms of last year’s federal stimulus package, new federal regulations require that an obesity rating must be part of every American’s electronic health records by 2014. The most common measure of whether a person is overweight or obese, and hence his or her obesity rating, is derived from weight and height and known as the Body Mass Index, or BMI. Because it’s easy to apply, the BMI is used almost universally to define obesity — despite its manifest shortcomings. The BMI is wholly arbitrary, having no scientifically valid relationship with mortality. It’s inadequate as a measure of body fat because it cannot account for the composition of a person’s body — fat, muscle, organs, water, etc. It’s also affected substantially by a person’s frame and the relative length of his or her legs and torso. And it does not take into account whether body fat is well-distributed or concentrated around the waist, the latter being more likely to indicate health risks. Official public-health pronouncements have held that people with BMIs in excess of 25 but under 30 are overweight, and that those with BMIs of more than 30 are obese. It’s also been repeatedly alleged that these measurements are associated with an increased risk of disease. All of this suggests that the BMI and these classifications are based on evidence and science. In fact, the 1997 decision to set new (and lower) BMI measurements as acceptable was made by the International Obesity Task Force, a nongovernmental organization that gets 75 percent of its funding from the pharmaceutical industry, which stands to benefit if more people are classified as overweight or obese. There is scant scientific evidence to support assertions by the federal government and others that being overweight or obese increases one’s mortality risks, or that the overweight and moderately obese can improve their health by losing weight. Such claims ignore 40 years of international data suggesting that obesity is not a cause of premature mortality. Many studies have demonstrated that the effects of diet and physical activity are independent of the effects of BMI and other measures of body size or fat. Age, sex, race, height, weight, blood type, and insulin resistance are among a host of characteristics that can account for profound differences between people with similar BMI scores. Such differences make it difficult to arrive at conclusions and recommendations that are generally valid, or to characterize body mass as having any reliable correlation with health. Recent empirical analysis of the relationship between BMI and mortality found that death rates were essentially the same given BMIs ranging from 20 to 35. Normal-weight individuals of both genders do not appear to live longer than the mildly obese (those with BMIs of 30 to 35). This suggests that the only scientifically justified obesity interventions pertain to the small fraction of the population with BMIs of more than 40 (3 percent to 4 percent of adults). This relatively small group might well benefit from medical and pharmaceutical interventions of various kinds — interventions that will depend on a better biological and medical understanding of obesity. Whatever the nature of these treatments for the extremely obese, the important point is that they — not those classified as merely overweight or moderately obese — should be the focus of any publicly funded antiobesity campaign. The BMI has acquired unwarranted authority. And the new federal regulation, telling us to accept a correlation of “high” BMI scores with shorter lives, is contrary to the available evidence. It’s too bad the fat police aren’t as interested in the weight of the scientific evidence as they are in that of Americans. Patrick Basham, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and John Luik, a senior fellow at the Democracy Institute, coauthored (with Gio Gori) the U.K. best-seller “Diet Nation: Exposing the Obesity Crusade.” They can be reached at patrickbasham@gmail.com and luik.janus@sympatico.ca.

ranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a penchant for the somewhat loony, as when, last weekend, he denounced Paul the Octopus, omniscient predictor of eight consecutive World Cup matches, as a symbol of decadence and purveyor of “Western propaganda and superstition.” But for all his clownishness, Ahmadinejad is nonetheless calculating and dangerous. What “two countries” was he talking about? They seem logically to be Lebanon and Syria. Hezbollah in Lebanon has armed itself with 50,000 rockets and made clear that it is in a position to start a war at any time. Fighting on this scale would immediately bring in Syria, which would in turn invite Iranian intervention in defense of its major Arab clients — and of the first Persian beachhead on the Mediterranean in 1,400 years. The idea that Israel, let alone the United States, has the slightest interest in starting a war on Israel’s north is crazy. But claims about imminent attacks are serious business in that region. In May 1967, the Soviet Union falsely told its client, Egypt, that Israel was preparing to attack Syria. These rumors set off a train of events — the mobilization of Arab armies, the southern blockade of Israel, the hasty signing of an inter-Arab military pact — that led to the Six-Day War. Ahmadinejad’s claim is not supported by a shred of evi-

dence. So what is he up to? It is a sign that he is under serious pressure. Passage of weak U.N. sanctions was followed by unilateral sanctions by the United States, Canada, Australia, and the European Union. Already, reports Reuters, Iran is experiencing a sharp drop in gasoline imports as Lloyd’s of London refuses to insure the ships delivering them. Second, the Arab states are no longer just whispering their desire for the United States to militarily take out Iranian nuclear facilities. The United Arab Emirates’ ambassador to Washington said so openly at a conference three weeks ago. Shortly before the 1991 Gulf War, Pat Buchanan charged that “the only two groups” that wanted the United States to forcibly liberate Kuwait were “the Israeli Defense Ministry and its amen corner in the United States.” That was a stupid charge, contradicted by the fact that George H.W. Bush went to war leading more than 30 nations, including the largest U.S.-led coalition of Arab states ever assembled. Twenty years later, the libel returns in the form of the scurrilous suggestion that the only ones who want the United States to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities are Israel and its American supporters. The Emirates ambassador is, as far as ascertainable, neither Israeli, American, nor Jewish. His publicly expressed desire for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities speaks for the intense Arab fear, approaching panic, of Iran’s nuclear program, and the urgent hope that America will take it out. Third, and perhaps even

more troubling from Tehran’s point of view, are developments in the United States. Former National Security Agency and CIA Director Michael Hayden suggested recently that over time, in his view, a military strike is looking increasingly favorable compared with the alternatives. Hayden is no Obama insider, but Time reports that high-level administration officials are once again considering the military option. This may reflect a new sense of urgency or merely be a bluff to make Tehran more pliable. But in either case, it suggests that after 18 months of failed engagement, the administration is hardening its line. The hardening is already having its effect. The Iranian regime is beginning to realize that even President Obama’s patience is limited — and that Iran may actually face a reckoning for its nuclear defiance. All of this pressure would be enough to rattle a regime already unsteady and sheared of domestic legitimacy. Hence Ahmadinejad’s otherwise inscrutable warning about an Israeli attack on two countries. (Said Defense Minister Ehud Barak to Fox News: “Who is the second one”?) It is a pointed reminder to the world of Iran’s capacity to trigger, through Hezbollah and Syria, a regional conflagration. This is the kind of brinkmanship you get when leaders of a rogue regime are under growing pressure. The only hope to get them to reverse course is to relentlessly increase their feeling that, if they don’t, the Arab states, Israel, the Europeans, and America will, one way or another, ensure that ruin is visited upon them.

Changing attitudes on risks of early birth

EARLY from A1 they go home — than fullterm babies. Indeed, a large new study of 19,000 late preterm newborns found that 37 percent had to be admitted to the intensive care nursery, in many cases because of breathing difficulties. At 34 weeks, the odds of respiratory distress were 40 times higher than at 39 weeks, according to the research, published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Briana Pray and Terren Jackson were braced for respiratory problems when their firstborn made his debut by cesarean section at 33 weeks. “The pediatrician warned us that because his lungs are immature, he might need to be put on a breathing machine,” Pray recalled last week as Terren nestled in his father’s arms. “Fortunately, he came out breathing.” Even so, it wasn’t until Friday, after 15 days in the intensive care nursery, that the five-pound Terren went home to West Philadelphia. Federal statistics show that the rate of premature birth has soared 30 percent since 1980. About 13 percent of births are now before 37 weeks, for reasons that are not well-understood. In the public mind, the word premature conjures images of a fragile, skeletal, palm-size preemie in an incubator, hooked to a welter of life-supporting machines. In reality, the so-called epidemic of prematurity has been fueled by late preterm deliveries. Since 1990, births at less than 32 weeks have decreased, while births at 34 to 37 have steadily increased. Late preterm babies now account for 75 percent of premature deliveries — and 9 percent of all deliveries — in the United States, federal records show. In other words, more than 375,000 babies a year — and counting — begin life outside the womb a week to a month too early. Some of this trend has been

In contrast, 27 percent of full-term babies born at the same hospitals were cesareans — close to the national average. Like doctors, women have come to perceive that late preterm birth is practically as safe as full term, researchers at Drexel University College of Medicine found. In August 2008, they surveyed 650 insured women who had recently given birth. A quarter of the women thought 34 to 36 weeks was full term, while half of them guessed 37 to 38 weeks. Asked how early it is safe to deliver a baby when there is no medical reason, only 8 percent of the new mothers chose 39 to 40 weeks. “Misinformation about the safety of early deliveries, especially those that are perceived to be ‘only a little early,’ combined with the desire for the pregnancy to be over, likely contributes to a patient ‘push’ for early delivery,” the researchers wrote in their paper, published in December

in the journal of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The OB-GYN organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Association of Neonatal Nurses, and other expert groups have been pushing back over the last three years. New guidelines, studies, reports — and the new terminology — have focused attention on the late preterm baby boom. To be sure, their risk of death is small compared with that of extreme preemies. About four out of 1,000 late preterm infants die within their first month

of life, studies show. (Still, this rate is almost five times higher than for fullterm infants.) But no one knows whether late preterm birth is linked to long-term developmental or behavioral problems because it has not been adequately studied. As the American Academy of Pediatrics noted in a seminal 2007 report, “the emotional, personal, and financial costs to individuals, families, and society” are still not clear.

A Chester County mother extolled her blessings on Facebook early this month, concluding: “Life is what it should be.” Less than two weeks later, Linda Duguay Wood was posting obituary information for her 16-year-old son, one of two fatalities in an accident involving multiple passengers and an inexperienced driver. The crash has generated questions — but no answers — about whether more tragedies will jump-start House Bill 67, a teen-safety initiative stalled in the state Senate. “Pennsylvania is a very difficult state for highway safety,” said Jonathan Adkins, a spokesman for the national Governors Highway Safety Association.

Write-in campaign for Rohrer By Tom Infield

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Dan Nelms and his wife, Sue, were never active in politics. “We weren’t even regular voters until a few years ago,” he confided. Then in April, they heard Republican gubernatorial candidate Sam Rohrer speak at a town-hall meeting. They went away so impressed by Rohrer’s quiet, plain-talk brand of libertarian conservatism that they ended up going door to door for him in their suburban Lancaster neighborhood. When Rohrer lost to Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett by more than a 2-1 ratio in the May 18 Republican primary, the Nelmses were bitterly disappointed — but not enough to go back into political hiding. They are now among leaders of a very small but impassioned effort by some Rohrer fans to mount a write-in efSee CANDIDATE on B3

Youngsters run to raise money for the George Fund, named for George Pappert, above right, who died

in 2008 at age 4. It benefits the pediatric hospice where he was treated and has raised $340,000 so far.

Focusing on the care of dying children Lars Haupt marched to the starting line and assumed the open stance of a sumo wrestler. “He runs all the time at home,” said his father, Paul Haupt, as the toddler contemplated his first race, a pacifier dangling from his T-shirt. “I’m just curious if he runs in a straight line.” Bunched up next to 16-monthold Lars were dozens of contestants, ages 1 to 3 years. Parents held hands of the u n s t e a d y, or filmed every step. Beyond them, clowns and dogs, balloon-twisters and face-painters set a festive mood. Jerry Pappert didn’t shy from the sadness of the cause. “This is a nice reminder of George’s life,” he said, thanking the 140 or so entrants in the inaugural KidsROX Fun Run. The Saturday event at Boathouse Row was the first public fund-raiser for the George Fund, which honors Jerry and Ellen Pappert’s late son, and benefits services at Keystone Hospice for dying children.

one of the children’s runs Saturday at the KidsROX fund-raising event.

The race brings attention to something people don’t want to talk about, said Pappert, 47, a former Pennsylvania attorney general. A child dies, he said, and parents want to focus on the cure. That’s good. But sometimes the cure is hard to come by, as in George’s case. That’s what made

the Papperts want to focus on the care. In May 2008, four months after the funeral, the couple got a letter from the director of Keystone, whose nurses and therapists had seen George through to the end. See GEORGE FUND on B4

Starting Monday, Philadelphia residents might need to keep a bucket of water handy because who knows when the Fire Department will show up. At least that’s the spin from the firefighters union. Top city officials, however, say that residents will hardly notice that fire companies are being closed, based on a temporary rotation. The truth lies somewhere in between amid what has been a fierce city budget battle. Some response times will be slower, but the city won’t burn down. Mayor Nutter last month balanced the city budget by cutting $47 million in spending. The Fire Department was cut by $3.8 million, and officials have scheduled temporary closings — called “rolling brownouts” — to reduce overtime costs. Around the nation, cities that are struggling financially have resorted to brownouts, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Sacramento. A brownout in San Diego might have contributed to the choking death of a 2-year-old boy last month, news organizations there reported. Firefighters at a station one block from the boy’s home were responding to a call that would have been handled by another station that was scheduled for a brownout that day. Local 22 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the city firefighters’ union, is expected to have a news conference Monday morning at one of the first companies to be closed, Engine 57 at 5559 Chestnut St., West Philadelphia. The union plans to distribute fliers and post signs that accuse the mayor of endangering public safety for budget expediency, union spokesman Bob Bedard said. Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers was not available for comment late Friday. Of the department’s 56 companies, only 23 will be part of the rolling brownouts, Ayers said last week. Though seven companies were closed permanently last year, the city experienced the fewest number of fire deaths since the 1950s, when such records were first kept. The department has a 10-hour See FIREFIGHTERS on B2

Scene Through the Lens

News in Brief Police investigate shootings of two in Frankford

Photographer Tom Gralish’s visual exploration of our region.

Philadelphia police were investigating a possible double murder Sunday after they responded to a tip that someone with a gun had entered a home in the city’s Frankford neighborhood. Police entering the residence on the 4600 block of Leiper Street about 1:15 a.m. Sunday discovered a 54-year-old woman in a first-floor bedroom and a 25-year-old woman in the living room. A medic pronounced both dead at 1:25 a.m., police said. Each had been shot repeatedly. Police did not release the names of the victims or other details. — Howard Shapiro

Missing man’s body found on hospital grounds

Police found the body of a 27-year-old man under debris in a large trash bin on the grounds of Abington Memorial Hospital in Montgomery County on Saturday night. The man had been reported missing Friday from a residence in Lower Moreland Township, an Abington police spokesman said Sunday in a news release. Police from Lower Moreland and Abington found his car at the hospital and, with the assistance of hospital personnel, searched the complex Friday to no avail. On Saturday, police from both departments, along with the Second Alarmers Rescue Squad, found the body and a handgun in the bin about 10:20 p.m. Police, attempting to contact the family, did not release the man’s name and are investigating the death as a probable suicide. — Howard Shapiro

One dead, one wounded in Chester shooting

One man was killed and another wounded in a shooting in Chester on Sunday morning. Police were called to the Ruth L. Bennett Homes in the 1000 block of Hunt Terrace just before noon. They found a 19-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his right side and a second man, 38, with a gunshot wound to the arm. Both men were taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where the younger man was pronounced dead, according to Capt. Stephen Fox of the Chester police. Names of the men were not released pending notification of the families. Fox said police were looking for two suspects and did not know why the two men had been shot. Police are asking anyone with information to call the city’s Anonymous Tip Line at 610-447-7810. — Mari A. Schaefer

A paper is DROPped from the Internet

What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam, at least for now. Since the publication in The Inquirer on Friday of an article on an early version of Philadelphia’s uber-secret assessment of the Deferred Retirement Option Plan that was presented six months ago at a conference in the Dutch capital, the academic group that hosted the news conference has taken the paper off its website. Apparently, Anthony Webb, one of three Boston College economists who wrote the paper, went beyond his agreement with Philadelphia in releasing information about the report. It also appears that Webb did not expect that his presentation for the Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging, and Retirement workshop, held Jan. 27 to 29 at the American Hotel in Amsterdam, would be posted online. But it was. At least until Friday, when the program listing each speaker was changed to remove the links to Webb’s paper and PowerPoint presentation. The final report is expected to be released this week. — Jeff Shields

Tragedy highlights teen driving perils SAFETY from B1 “Monte” A. Wood, an aspiring Eagle Scout, had sneaked out with some Twin Valley High School classmates about 3 a.m. July 16 in a high-powered Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. A joyride up and down Beaver Dam Road in Honey Brook Township followed what police termed a “campout” at Wood’s nearby home and ended with the deaths of Wood and his front-seat passenger, Britany Pearl Leger, 15, of Honey Brook Borough. Two other passengers, Damien Paterno and Cameron Merlino, both 15, are recovering from injuries. Police said none of the teens had a driver’s permit or license. Flaura Winston, a pediatrician who founded and directs the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said the crash — like many others — highlighted the need to impose passenger limits on teen drivers. “There’s a different brain pathway that starts working when teens are together,” she said. “You mix an Eagle Scout with a bunch of friends and something else emerges.” Winston said that even

though it was unlikely a law would have prevented the Honey Brook tragedy, she was frustrated by the state’s “epidemic of teen crashes.” Since 2005, more than 500 teen drivers and 300 of their passengers have died in Pennsylvania, Winston said, adding that teen drivers had killed 300 other people as well. “If there was some other epidemic killing kids this fast, we would demand that the killer be stopped, yet we tolerate this,” she said. As passed by the House in April 2009, H.B. 67 would have limited teenage drivers to one nonfamily passenger younger than 18 and added 15 hours of required driver training. It would have made the use of cell phones and the failure to buckle up primary offenses, meaning police could stop drivers for such violations. Currently, unbelted drivers can be cited only if they are pulled over for another reason. The Senate voted to ax the extra training, make cellphone use a secondary offense, and add a provision that after six months of driving, teenagers who had not caused an accident could

drive up to three nonfamily passengers younger than 18. The revamped bill set up a contentious debate in the House this month, ending with a 126-71 vote to return the bill to the Senate. Some supporters of the bill, including its sponsor, Rep. Joseph F. Markosek (D., Allegheny), majority chairman of the House Transportation Committee, urged colleagues to reject the Senate version. Other supporters, including Rep. Katharine M. Watson (R., Bucks), warned that senators were predicting the bill’s demise if it were returned. She said she advocated the Senate’s version only because one key provision remained intact: making the failure to buckle up a primary offense for anyone younger than 18. In the Honey Brook accident, only Leger used a seat belt. Asked whether she thought the accident would have any effect, Watson said, “Honestly, I don’t know.” Markosek said that after being “ignored” for several weeks, his staff had been talking to Senate staffers. “I expect a conclusion (one way or the other) in Septem-

ber,” he wrote in an e-mail. When the Senate returns Sept. 20, it can vote to “insist” on the amendments, which would begin the process of forming a conference committee of House and Senate members, or “recede” from the amendments and send a different version back to the House. Sen. Mike Folmer (R., Lebanon) said he did not know whether his colleagues would change their minds. “This is an emotional issue,” he said, adding that responsibility can’t be legislated. “We need to tweak the existing laws on reckless driving and let young people know there are consequences for their actions. … We aren’t going to end all the deaths until young people act responsibly.” Winston said it was everyone’s responsibility to protect children. “They need to get a mediator and reconcile their differences,” she said of lawmakers. “It just needs to happen. Our teens are dying.” Contact staff writer Kathleen Brady Shea at 610-696-3815 or kbrady@phillynews.com.

Dear friend: You do not need to hide your unsightly toes any longer. We have successfully treated cases of toenail fungus with a procedure that requires no drugs and no anesthesia. Best of all, it is more affordable than those prescription drugs that require lab tests and can be toxic.

Having trouble reaching your home improvement contractor?

It’s been a long time coming... After seeing thousands of patients over the years, we have first-hand experience with people that were upset with the results from the anti-fungal drugs. They would spend hundreds of dollars and endure many months of treatment, and the fungus was still actively eating away at their nails. Or worse, drug side effects would force them to stop treatment, leaving them feeling hopeless. It was frustrating for us too, but there was no better option. We wanted to offer our patients a treatment that worked. “Someday,” we told ourselves. After all, we went into medicine to help people get well.

Finally, that “someday” is today Our offices have treated several hundred cases of toenail fungus with this breakthrough laser technology. Our patients have been very happy with the new procedure. We use a laser designed to penetrate the nail and kill just the fungus. Your skin and toes are not harmed. For you, that means no needles, no drugs. You just kick back in a relaxing chair much like you would while getting a pedicure.

Back to a normal life right away You can go play soccer, go for a run or head right back to work (if you must). The treatment will have no negative side effects. You ladies will be able to wear toenail polish the next day.

Convenient appointments We have two offices for your convenience. Our friendly staff would love to schedule your initial visit today. We offer consultations and there is no obligation to come and ask questions. So give us a call and see what the buzz is all about!

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Northern Liberties celebrates itself

With the second annual Second Street Festival, “we’re turning this business district into a destination.” By Elisa Lala

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Forty years ago, Northern Liberties was “off the grid,” says a local business owner. Today, it’s an entrepreneurial hipster’s dream come true. On Sunday, the second annual Second Street Festival, held on the neighborhood’s main drag, showed off that transformation. The event, along Second from Germantown Avenue to Green Street, celebrated Northern Liberties’ destination status and showed off a bit of its trendy flair, said Nina DeCosta, a Northern Liberties resident for seven years and the owner/ founder of Northern Liberties Business Owners Association, which coordinated the event. The festival featured three stages of local live bands, including Post Post, the Homophones, and Black Landlord, while guests chose among four beer gardens (two more than last year) with local brews on tap. The event also showcased more than 40 vendor displays selling everything from jewelry and paintings to french fries and funnel cake. The pavements were transformed into an artists’ canvas, showcasing chalk sketches beside for-sale paintings by Tyler School of Art graduates Liz Briggs-Fandek, 26, Jessica Tyler, 24, roommates who live above an art studio on Second Street. DeCosta called the festival, which cost the association $44,000, a thank-you. “It was a way to give back to the neighborhood that has given so much to its people,” she said. “We’re turning this business district into a destination.” DeCosta, 61, who has lived in Center City for the greater part of her life, said that 40 years ago, she never would have ventured over to the noman’s-land of Northern Liberties.

At right, Mikki Woods hands out information about a beauty and makeup store. “I didn’t have a reason to,” she said. “This was North Philly. Why would I go?” Today, DeCosta says, Northern Liberties has everything — and it pretty much does.

Think artsy, edgy, trendy meets entrepreneurialism. The main hub, where the festival took place, is home to a boatload of restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries,

including the $150 million Piazza at Schmidts, encompassing an 80,000-squarefoot open-air plaza with year-round free events, 35 artists’ studios, four restau-

rants, and 500 apartments. The strip is also home to the tried-and-true anchors that predated cool, such as 700 Club and Liberty. New Northern Liberties

business owner Cheryl Leuzzi, who opened variety store Five to One and Then Some a few months ago, said that when she was looking for a store location, nothing stood up to the charm of Northern Liberties. Leuzzi and business partner Jean Squitiere “looked in Old City, Northeast Philly, South Philly. As soon as we parked the car and got out, we knew this was it,” she said. “It was the vibe.” In 2006, Forbes.com ranked Northern Liberties 11th nationally in its “Best Neighborhoods to Buy a Home.” Since then, the place has been booming, DeCosta said. “Real estate has skyrocketed more than 300 percent; commercial lending boomed. People want to be here,” she said. Festival attendee Jeanne Kohl, a Northern Liberties resident since 1994, said she hoped the neighborhood continued to grow. Kohl was sitting on a Second Street step with her husband, Neil, and their daughter, Maya, listening to a band. “We need more foot traffic,” she said. Her husband said the festival helped show people that Northern Liberties was worth sticking around for. “The irony is the boom in real estate pushed some artists out,” he said. He said his family was there to support those who stayed, include some friends who had stands. DeCosta said “NoLibs” residents have a special bond. “Northern Liberties is one of the most inclusive neighborhoods. It’s almost like a village,” she said. “We [residents] drink together and eat together, and we try to keep out dollars here in the neighborhood.” Contact staff writer Elisa Lala at 856-779-3970 or elala@phillynews.com.

GEORGE FUND from B1 Gail Inderwies wanted the family to know that Keystone had established a fund, in the boy’s name, for the care of terminally ill children. Jerry Pappert was so moved, he visited Inderwies at the hospice. By telling people that the family welcomed donations to both brain tumor research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the hospice, she said, Keystone had received $13,500. “Out of all the children you’ve cared for, why name a fund after my son?” he asked. “Because you are the only people who asked for contributions to be sent to us,” she replied. George was 31/2 back in July 2006 when he started throwing up first thing in the morning. Ellen Pappert drove him to their pediatrician, thinking it might be reflux. Jerry Pappert was at work at the Ballard Spahr law firm when his wife called, saying they were headed to the hospital for an MRI. He flew out of the building and grabbed a cab. Starting They waited together as the at boy was tested. Then, as they were shown to a room where the doctors would explain the results, they sensed someAC thing terrible. Checkup $80.00 “The first clue was that there was a chaplain or a social worker there,” he said. “You’re not prepared for what you’re about to be told. We Air Conditioner Includes: were thinking, ‘This can’t be • 24K Condenser • 24K Coil • Thermostat happening to us. We’ll start FINANCING AVAILABLE vacation down the Shore as planned.’ ” FREE ESTIMATES The boy had a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma — a form of malignant brain tumor that doesn’t respond to surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation could shrink the mass, buy some time. But not much. Life expectancy was measured in months, not years. Heater Includes: “We were told right there • GMT 45 and then that George was go• Thermostat ing to die and there wasn’t anything anybody anywhere could do about it,” Jerry Pappert said.

an extremely bright and communicative child,” Jerry Pappert said. “There was a gentleness to him that people noticed. He loved playing with his toy trucks. He liked baseball. He was just starting to play catch with me. He and his sister, Mary, would play happily for hours on end.” Radiation began immediately — 6:15 a.m. daily sessions that lasted three months. The treatment shrunk the tumor at first. But a year after his diagnosis, an MRI showed the tumor was growing again. The Papperts struggled with what to do next. “We just made a decision, as wonderful as CHOP was, we didn’t want to go back there anymore, for blood tests, or radiation, or anything,” he said. That fall, George was treated at home. Nurses monitored his symptoms, conferred with the doctors, took the pressure off the parents, even going to the pharmacy for them. Art and movement therapists visited the boy in his room — he fell in love with his movement therapist, Ellen Pappert said. “In the end, George couldn’t walk anymore. He lost coordination of his hands. So she was able to come up with ways to play with him with

the limited bit of coordination he had and really could get him laughing and smiling and engaged in ways we didn’t know how to.” The Papperts had excellent health insurance. They never saw a bill from Keystone. But they understand how the economics of hospice are especially tough on the parents of children. Inderwies says insurance typically pays only 30 percent of the costs of caring for a child. That’s the hole that the George Fund seeks to fill. To date, it has raised $340,000, and spent $85,000 of that on therapy and nursing care for 28 children. It has bought medical equipment that allowed two boys and a girl to spend their last days at home with family. The fund, Jerry Pappert says, gives some purpose to George’s short life. “People ask, ‘Why do you and Ellen do this to yourselves? Why deal with this every day and remind yourselves every day? Wouldn’t it be easy to go on and do something else?’ Yes, it would be a lot easier to forget about it. We’re doing it because no one else is.” Contact Daniel Rubin at 215-854-5917 or drubin@phillynews.com. The George Fund’s website is: www.keystonecare.com/pediatric/ the-george-fund.aspx

Robert C. Tucker, 92; wrote noted biographies of Stalin By Douglas Martin

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Robert C. Tucker, 92, a Sovietologist whose frustrations in persuading the authorities in Stalin’s Russia to let his new Russian wife accompany him home to the United States gave him insights into the Soviet leader, died Thursday at his home in Princeton. The cause was pneumonia, his wife, Evgeniya, said. Mr. Tucker commanded wide attention with two biographies of Stalin that used psychological interpretations to explain how he had achieved and exercised power. In his second Stalin biography, Stalin in Power: The Revolution From Above: 1928-1941 (1990), Mr. Tucker wrote of Stalin’s severe demands on the exhausted Russian people in the 1930s.

If Mr. Tucker was admired for describing Stalin’s victims, it owed much to his having been a victim himself. He had met a vivacious young woman, Evgeniya Pestretsova, at a Tchaikovsky opera a month after he arrived in Moscow in 1944 to work as a translator in the U.S. Embassy. They married in 1946. At the end of Mr. Tucker’s two-year term of employment, Evgeniya Tucker was denied an exit visa. The reason, she was told, was that Russian wives were treated badly abroad. Not until 1953 was she allowed to leave. As Mr. Tucker’s irritation grew, he developed a theory: In Stalin’s Russia, crazy things such as the denied visa happened because the man at the top was unhinged. When Stalin died on March 5, 1953, Robert Tucker re-

Screenwriter Suso Cecchi D’Amico, 96, who emerged from the male-dominated postwar Italian cinema to become a celebrated artist and contribute to such milestones as The Bicycle Thief and The Leopard, died Saturday in Rome, her hometown. Ms. Cecchi D’Amico worked with some of the most renowned Italian directors, including Franco Zeffirelli, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Mario Monicelli, whose movie Casanova 70 earned her an Oscar nomination. She was equally successful at writing scripts for neorealistic movies, art house films, and comedies such as Big Deal on Madonna Street. Her work helped make the Italian postwar movie scene vibrant and innovative. A long partnership with Luchino Visconti became a defining element in Ms. Cecchi D’Amico’s career, spanning more than two decades and several movies. Born Giovanna Cecchi in 1914 to a family of writers and intellectuals, she began work-

She went on to a long career during which she often adapted literary works, including The Stranger, The Taming of the Shrew, and books by Dostoevsky and Pirandello.

Robert Charles Tucker was born on May 29, 1918, in Kansas City, Mo., where his parents were friends with Harry Truman and his family. He went to Harvard University, where he was working on a Ph.D. in philosophy when the chance came to sign up for an intensive course in Russian sponsored by the State Department. That resulted in his two-year job in Moscow. He finished his Ph.D. on the early writings of Marx, worked for the RAND Corp., and taught at Indiana University, Princeton, and elsewhere. In addition to his wife of 64 years, he is survived by his daughter, Liza Tucker; a sister; and two grandchildren.

Seniors tell stories in oral-history project HISTORY from B1 Two years later, it took hold in Philadelphia with a grant from the state Department of Aging, resulting in programs that guide older adults into so-called encore careers, promote volunteerism among them, advocate for their common needs — and collect their stories. The Latino oral histories not only are about older immigrants, but also are recorded by them. A dozen are finished, among them Silva’s five-minute audio in Spanish. She was interviewed in her home by Manuel Portillo, 49, who came to the United States as a Guatemalan refugee in 1984. He now directs the storytelling project, and is training about 10 older Latino adults to gather more stories. Along with teaching them to use digital audio recorders, he offers some principles of good storytelling. “Be brief,” he instructs. “And each story has to have a lesson, a crisis, a resolution, a moral point to be made. They have to speak from the heart.” Isabel Silva’s does. It focuses mostly on her life in coastal Luquillo, Puerto Rico, and the loss that led the widowed mother of six to Philadelphia in the early 1950s. “I got married when I was 16. My husband was a baker. We had a normal courtship. His mom loved me very much,” she narrates in a voice thickened by age and emotion. “We were a good couple. … Then he passed away.” Her husband was 17 years her senior, she said in a subsequent unrecorded interview. On his deathbed, before he received last rites, they renewed their wedding vows. After he died, a heartbroken Silva washed and dressed the body for burial. Following the funeral, she marched a few hundred yards to the sea and thought about throwing herself in, such was her despair. She hadn’t planned to leave Puerto Rico, she said, but her eldest daughter, Priscilla, a nurse living in Brooklyn at the time, sent her money and convinced her to come to the United States for her physical and mental health. A few years later, seeking job opportunities, Silva moved to Philadelphia, where she worked as a laundress and seamstress to support her children. “I thank God I never got sick during all those years of hard work,” Silva said in her history. “It’s only now that I am a little bit older that I catch colds.” Coming from the feisty nonagenarian, the “little bit older” line drew chuckles at the Cardinal Bevilacqua Community Center of the Visitation BVM Church in Kensington last month. Silva’s story was being played during a program on using digital storytelling to identify the talents and energies of older people in the Latino community.

“This part of the city, this community in particular, is challenged,” said City Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez, one of 50 invitees. “A project like this is important. … Our kids and grandkids need to know our stories.” Coming of Age director Dick Goldberg said the Latino histories, with English voiceovers, would be played at civic events and made available to schools on CDs. There are other projects showcasing the assets of older members of other immigrant groups. In the Korean community of North Philadelphia, for example, Coming of Age has joined the nonprofit Philip Jaisohn Memorial Foundation to promote health awareness, including accompanying people to doctor appointments. In South Philadelphia, Coming of Age is working with the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition to produce a yearbook featuring brief stories about respected elders in the community. “One of the best ways people learn is by hearing someone else’s story. They relate to it. It’s a basis for asking questions,” said Goldberg, 63. “The emphasis here is on seeing that older people have value. … If you tally all the assets and subtract whatever liabilities we have, our portfolios are still much richer because we have been on the planet six, seven, eight decades.” Oral histories also should spur the community “to take action on what the stories reflect,” said project director Portillo. It might be the need for improved housing and public safety, or assistance for the growing ranks of grandparents raising grandchildren. “To get them involved in transforming their communities,” Portillo said, “we start at the center of their culture.” Silva’s longevity, and her continuing practice of santiguar, have made her a living link to the cultural heritage of Puerto Rico. She lived alone until just a few years ago, when a widowed daughter, Clotilde, 70, moved in with her. On a recent day, she and Clotilde were joined at the house by two more daughters, Gloria, 64, and Dolores, 67, and son Candido, 66. “Mom always tells us, ‘I want to bury all of you,’ ” said Gloria, who initially found that sentiment strange and upsetting. But considering the searing pain their mother suffered upon their father’s death, the siblings have come to accept that she merely means she does not want them left behind.

Pittsburgh bar owners to hire police, cleanup aid ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH — Bar owners in a Pittsburgh neighborhood that attracts crowds of young revelers are pooling their resources to hire extra cleanup crews and police patrols this fall. The owners will try to stem the anger of residents who complain about disturbances. So far, 11 establishments that are part of the new South Side Responsible Hospitality Partnership in the Western Pennsylvania city have pledged a total of about $60,000 to hire weekend cleanup crews, said Adam DeSimone, who owns the Diesel Club Lounge. Members already hire about 15 officers for security details at their establishments on Friday and Saturday nights. The neighborhood patrols, involving two to four officers per night, would be in addition to that. The group also plans to provide annual training for club employees, sponsor communi-

ty-service projects, and give bars a voice in matters affecting the entertainment district, DeSimone said. The effort follows longstanding complaints by residents about young people who flock to the area and litter, yell, and urinate on private property during latenight or early-morning hours. Last week, Internet postings by revelers and residents deteriorated into threats of violence, although no disturbances were reported. “There are problems,” DeSimone said. “I think there are fewer problems than what has been reported.” DeSimone said the partnership’s work would be aimed at defusing tensions and countering bad publicity — as well as protecting investments in the area’s businesses. “If the neighborhood isn’t safe, no one’s going to come,” he said. Hailing the initiative were

Nancy Eshelman, president of the South Side Chamber of Commerce, and Rick Belloli, executive director of the South Side Local Development Co. “I think what they’re talking about doing today is exactly what the South Side needs for the long run,” Belloli said, adding that the effort might incorporate the cleanup crew that his group employs seven days a week. Jim Peters, president of the California-based nonprofit Responsible Hospitality Institute, said a growing number of cities were forming “nightlife associations” to help address problems and set policy in entertainment districts. “I think it’s noble that the bars are coming together to hire the police, but some cities look at bars paying the police as a potential conflict,” Peters said. A better plan, Peters said, might be for the bars to make contributions to a third party, such as a business group, which would hire the officers.

St. Mary’s experienced orthopedic experts use the latest advances to heal joints, spines, hands, and sports injuries. So it’s no wonder we have some very impressive numbers to show. But we never forget that the most important number of all is that one person we’re treating right now.

“I’m a recovery room nurse at St. Mary, where I’ve worked for more than 30 years. So it was a whole new experience for me to be the patient. Before my knee replacement, it felt like there was a knife in my kneecap – the pain was agonizing. The physical demands of my job were a real struggle. I had my surgery at St. Mary because I’ve seen the team in action and completely trust them. “The morning after surgery, I actually walked to physical therapy with a walker. St. Mary even arranged great home care afterward. I feel like a totally new person. Now I can keep up with my friends on trips, walk the dog, and be a better nurse, because I have absolutely no pain. I wouldn’t have orthopedic surgery anyplace else.”

or all the antibacterial products and other weapons in the war against germs, even the cleanest of us still carry about 10 bacterial cells for every human cell. Most are harmless or even beneficial. Indeed, some scientists believe that the loss of friendly organisms in recent years could be contributing to rising rates of asthma, acid reflux, obesity, and some cancers. Bacterial colonies are necessary for the digestive and immune systems to work properly, and vice versa, said microbiologist Jeffrey Weiser of the University of Pennsylvania. “In some ways the bacteria are maintaining us to promote their own existence,” Weiser said. Part of the decline of good bacteria can be attributed to use of antibiotics, especially in children. But a recent study found huge differences in bacteSee BACTERIA on C2

Genetic clue to kidney disease in blacks By Vabren L. Watts

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

frican Americans are four times as likely to have kidney disease as Caucasians, and a recent study from Harvard University may explain why. Nephrologist Martin Pollak and his team found that a common genetic mutation of the APOL1 gene might be partly responsible for African Americans’ susceptibility. The mutation likely arose due to natural selection because it protects against African sleeping sickness, Pollak wrote. Yet it also makes African Americans more vulnerable to kidney See KIDNEY DISEASE on C3

An eco-friendly use for excess grease and oils going down the drain.

Phila. plans to turn scummy water into heat, energy

areful cooks know it’s a smart idea to drain their cooking grease into a tin can for disposal, rather than letting it run down the drain. Nevertheless, plenty of fats, oils, and grease end up at wastewater treatment plants, where they are typically skimmed off and taken to a landfill. Now the Philadelphia Water Department plans to join the ranks of communities that have a more eco-friendly approach: turning the yucky scum into energy. The plan is to convert the stuff into methane gas by putting it into a digester, essentially a big tank that contains anaerobic bacteria. The city already uses this process to break down waste-

water sludge — generating methane that is burned to heat department facilities in the winter — but adding fats and grease into the mix requires some adjustment. Metin Duran, an associate professor of engineering at Villanova University, says he is close to a solution, digesting the fats and grease in a five-gallon benchtop digester to determine just the right “recipe” for the full-scale operation. “This stuff is really gross,” admits Duran, who is working on the project with the national consulting firm of Brown & Caldwell. “You don’t even want to look at it.” The variables in question include temperature and mixing rate, said Christopher S. Crockett, the Water Department’s director of planning and

research. The optimal recipe depends on the composition of Philadelphia’s fats and grease. “Not all scum is alike,” Crockett says. Sludge digestion, meanwhile, is done at two of the city’s three treatment plants, and one of them also generates methane from another unwanted substance: aircraft deicing fluid. During the summer, when buildings don’t need heat, much of the resulting methane from the plants is burned off. But the plan is to build a cogeneration plant so that the gas also could generate electricity, Crockett says. Sludge, and now fats and grease. Unpleasant? Not for bacteria, Duran says: “The bugs just love this stuff.” — Tom Avril

Personal Health Having friends could lead to a longer, healthier life Researchers have known for two decades that the quantity and quality of social relationships — marriage, friends, church, community — have an impact on mortality. Yet neither physicians nor the public take them seriously as risk factors in the way that they do, say, smoking. Perhaps that is because relationships are complex and their benefits squishy, write the authors of a new report that tries to measure the specific impact that connections with others has on survival. The meta-analysis — a statistical technique for synthesizing findings from multiple studies — relies on 148 research papers that followed more than 300,000 participants for an average of 71/2 years. Although the effects varied widely, the authors found that, overall, not having social relationships posed a survival risk that was similar to smoking 15 cigarettes or having six alcoholic drinks a day — and was far riskier than not exercising or not getting treated for hypertension. “Individuals do not exist in isolation,” they concluded in last month’s issue of the journal PLoS Medicine. “Social relationship-based interventions represent a major opportunity to enhance not only the quality of life but also survival. — Don Sapatkin

Mother-infant interactions have lasting effects on distress The importance of quality relationships starts very early in life, according to a study in BMJ’s Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health last week. Researchers from Duke University, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Brown University report that parents who provide high levels of affection in early childhood have long-lasting effects on the children. The researchers studied 482 children born in Rhode Island in the 1960s. When the children were 8 months old, the researchers observed and rated mother-infant interactions to measure effective quality of the mothers. The researchers then followed up 34 years later using a standard emotional functioning checklist. The children whose mothers were rated as demonstrating high levels of affection at 8 months of age showed “significantly lower levels of distress” as adults. The researchers concluded that their results “suggest that early nurturing and warmth have long-lasting positive effects on mental health into adulthood.” — Josh Goldstein

Children with lice can go to school, pediatricians say Children who contract head lice should not be kept home from school, according to updated guidance on the common childhood problem from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The association of pediatricians said that although many schools have exclusion, or “no-nits” policies, keeping children with lice home from school has been shown to be ineffective in preventing the spread of the pests. “Healthy children should be in school and schools shouldn’t have no-nits policies,” said Barbara Frankowski, an author of the updated guidelines that were published online last week in the journal Pediatrics. The academy also said it no longer recommends the use of lindane, a neurotoxin, and that the first-line treatments are lotions with 1 percent permethrin which are available without prescription. Nonchemical options include combing the child’s hair to remove the lice and nits along with approaches that attempt to suffocate the insects such as olive oil or petroleum jelly. — J.G.

Modesty in men is viewed negatively in job interviews Hey guys, turns out you do have to act like a macho man — at least if you want others to view you positively. A recent study by researchers at Rutgers University examined the consequences of humility for men and women during job interviews. The researchers surveyed 100 men and 132 women after they watched videos of people displaying modesty in interviews. The observers rated humble males as significantly less likable and “insufficiently confident” compared with their female counterparts. Modesty did not, however, impact evaluations of either gender’s competence or their likelihood to get hired, the researchers found. Study coauthor Laurie Rudman explained that because of cultural labels, women are allowed to display weakness, whereas men cannot do so without creating a social backlash. While the study suggested that humility in men did not deter them from being hired, the researchers said it might adversely affect their income. Rudman says “people earn more when they negotiate their salaries well, and to do that, you can’t be modest.” The study was published in the American Psychological Association journal Psychology of Men & Masculinity. — Vabren L.

Throwing out good microbes with the bad BACTERIA from C1 ria present on the skin of newborns delivered by C-section vs. those delivered vaginally, possibly explaining why C-section babies are more vulnerable to infections. The infants were swabbed and tested moments after birth, yet those delivered by C-section were already colonized. “They’re like magnets,” said Maria Dominguez-Bello, who led the study. She said she’s not sure where the bacteria are coming from or what her finding means. It was a tiny study, examining just 10 infants, but she and her colleagues are now following a larger group of infants over time. The C-section babies were colonized mostly by staphylococcus, a type of skin bacteria that sometimes causes infections. The other babies were colonized by species similar to those living in their mothers’ vaginas, said DominguezBello, a biologist at the University of Puerto Rico. Previous studies have shown that babies delivered by C-section are more vulnerable to infection with the antibiotic-resistant staph strain known as MRSA, she said, but the reason has been unclear. The bacterial differences may also be connected to another mystery: why C-section babies are more likely to get asthma later on. “We believe there is so much we acquire very early and they live with us forever,” said Dominguez-Bello. The C-section study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is part of a larger effort to study the way modern lifestyles and medicine have altered and perhaps disrupted humans’ natural microbial communities. To get the “before” picture, Dominguez-Bello is studying natives of the Venezuelan Amazon. “In a sense they live in conditions like those of our ancestors,” she said. One of the big differences found so far is that almost everyone in the Amazon has the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, once known mainly for causing stomach ulcers. Before the 20th century, H. pylori was the dominant organism in human stomachs around the world, said New York University biologist Martin Blaser. About 70 percent of Americans born near the beginning of the 20th century

carried H. pylori, Blaser said. Among children born in the 21st century, it’s 6 percent. H. pylori is being eradicated by antibiotics prescribed for childhood ear infections, sore throats, and a host of other conditions, he said. That might mean ulcers and stomach cancers become much less common, but people without H. pylori are more likely to be diagnosed with esophageal reflux and cancer of the esophagus. They also appear to get more asthma in childhood. “An H. pylori-positive stomach is different from an H. pylori-negative one,” Blaser said. “There’s a cost to having it … but there’s also a cost to not having it.” Over the last century, asthma has risen at roughly the same rate that H. pylori has fallen, although a mechanism linking the two has yet to be discovered. Obesity may also have a bacterial connection. In 2006, biologist Jeffrey Gordon of Washington University in St. Louis and colleagues published a groundbreaking paper showing that obese people had a different mix of gut bacteria than did thin people. Blaser suspects H. pylori may play an important role. In the stomach, it influences two key appetite hormones: ghrelin, which makes us want to eat, and leptin, which makes us want to stop eating. “It’s well-known that farmers used to give antibiotics to animals to fatten them up,” said Blaser, even before antibiotics were used to prevent infections. If it fattened up chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs, and cattle, he thinks it’s reasonable to explore the possibility that antibiotic use and the loss of H. pylori are helping fatten up today’s humans. Blaser said he was surprised how long it had taken the medical community to catch on to the importance of beneficial microbes. One reason is that they were mostly invisible, said Rob Knight, a computational biologist at the University of Colorado and a collaborator on the C-section study. Until a few years ago, the only way to find microorganisms in the body was to place a sample of tissue or fluid in a petri dish and see what grew. Now scientists can use various types of “DNA fingerprinting” to identify hundreds of species even if they don’t grow outside the body. As many as 97 percent

of the species inhabiting humans may have been previously undetectable. Lately, it’s become cheap to read out the organisms’ whole genetic code through what’s called DNA sequencing. That has enabled Knight to begin compiling a sort of atlas of human microbes called the Human “Microbiome” Project — an effort analogous to last decade’s Human Genome Project. So far, it has shown that surprisingly different communities of organisms live on various parts of the body — our forearms are colonized by bugs not usually found in our armpits, which are again different from what’s in our navels. In a paper published in March, Knight demonstrated how people leave unique bacterial fingerprints on objects they touch. These might be used the same way that police use human DNA or actual fingerprints at crime scenes. A number of other researchers are exploring how good microbes might protect against bad diseases. Penn biologist Frederic Bushman is studying a possible connection between gut microbes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a group of sometimes debilitating intestinal disorders that include Crohn’s disease. Bushman believes scientists are just beginning to uncover a complicated system of cross talk between immune systems and the communities of microbes that live in them. “One thing people don’t realize is the importance of immune tone,” he said. By this, he explained, he means the way your immune system is always on — even when you’re not sick with some infectious agent. Instead of sitting there doing nothing, immune cells are responding to their surrounding community of microbes — “actively sculpting the composition of those communities in your body,” he said. An even newer field of science is beginning to look beyond the human microbiome to the community of human viruses — our viromes. The bacteria that people carry around are themselves carrying viruses, Bushman said — worlds embedded within worlds. Whether they, too, can be beneficial is not yet known.

Ask Dr. H By Mitchell Hecht Back pain hurts in the wallet, too

From Josh Goldstein’s blog “Check Up”: www.philly.com/checkup Back problems — from muscle strains to herniated discs — are a growing problem in the U.S., afflicting 27 million adults in 2007, or 12 percent of Americans 18 and older, according to the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Of those reporting back problems, more than 19 million sought treatment, resulting in $30.3 billion in health-care spending that year. More of that spending went for ambulatory care and prescription medications — $18.3 billion and $4.5 billion — with the rest being spent on ER visits, hospital care including surgery, and rehabilitation. That’s an average of $1,589 per patient — about $1,145 on average for doctors, chiropractors, and other providers, and about $445 for prescription drugs. And that doesn’t include the spending on over-thecounter treatments. And of all that spending, patients picked up nearly 17 percent, with private insurers covering 45 percent, and Medicare (23 percent) and other payers covering the remainder. Overall spending on back problems nearly doubled in the decade since 1997 when $16 billion was spent treating the condition.

Is growth hormone a safe supplement? MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Question: I’m a 76-year-old man in excellent health who’s considering growth hormone supplementation to help improve strength, lose weight, and maybe live longer. Are they safe to try for a while? Answer: There are some folks who feel that human growth hormone supplement has helped them find their lost youth. But much of this is just subjective opinion, not based on research. It is true that as we age, our level of growth hormone slowly declines. But does that mean that we should take replacement growth hormone to increase the level? At the moment, the answer is no. Growth hormone is important for the proper growth and repair of our tissues and organs. It’s absolutely necessary for children to have normal growth. For those children and young adults who have a deficiency of growth hormone, injections of the compound are appropriate and beneficial. But if you’re taking growth hormone for other reasons, you’re climbing a very slippery slope. While it may increase lean body mass and decrease fat mass, it has little effect

on muscle strength or function. It will not help you lose weight. Drawbacks to growth hormone supplementation are: it may raise blood sugar and bring about diabetes; it causes fluid retention, which can bring about high blood pressure and heart failure in certain folks; it can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle and joint problems; and there is no evidence that taking growth hormone will improve one’s life expectancy. For older folks who already have some of these health problems, growth hormone would only make things worse. Researchers in the field of aging are carefully studying growth hormone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin, and other potential streams in the fountain of youth. The current position of the National Institute on Aging on growth hormone is that it’s a very powerful chemical that can affect us in far-reaching ways and it needs more study.

Well Being By Art Carey

Weightlifting and cancer

WELL BEING from C1 Trade Center. When clients began asking her questions she couldn’t answer, she went back to school, earning a master’s degree in exercise science from Queens College of the City University of New York. She later added a doctorate in exercise physiology and a master’s in public health, both from the University of Minnesota. Her broad and varied background has enriched her perspective. She considers herself “a crossbreed,” combining exercise science and an interest in public health in a way that enables her to serve as a sort of personal trainer to the masses. She does so from her perch at the University of Pennsylvania, where she is an associate professor in the department of biostatistics and epidemiology. Her recent work has focused on the effect of exercise on those recovering from disease, specifically breast cancer survivors. The form of physical exertion that has attracted her interest, and increasing regard, is resistance exercise, or, weightlifting. To call it a panacea would be going too far, Schmitz says, but it is certainly an underrated palliative. “I call it the orphan exercise mode,” she says. In the so-called SHE study (for Strong, Healthy and Empowered), Schmitz and her coresearchers showed that resistance exercise significantly slowed middle-age weight gain, especially the accumulation of abdominal or visceral fat, which has been linked to such ills as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. “The obesity epidemic is hard to reverse,” Schmitz says. “Instead of trying to look like Halle Berry, let’s reframe success as maintaining your current weight.” In the study, the abdominal fat of women who lifted weights twice a week increased 7 percent over two years. By contrast, the abdominal fat of women in the control group, who did no strength training, increased by 22 percent. “You’re not going to lose weight by lifting weights,” Schmitz emphasizes, “but resistance exercise will help keep you from gaining more weight.” Weightlifting has this effect because muscle tissue is metabolically active. The more

Kathryn Schmitz’s study found that exercising during and after

cancer treatment helped the subject feel more vitality and a better overall quality of life. muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest. Plus, the more muscle you have, Schmitz theorizes, the easier it is to be physically active. After months of lifting weights, women in the study could carry canoes farther than their husbands when portaging in Minnesota’s lake country. Resistance exercise is just as beneficial, it turns out, for the nation’s 12 million cancer survivors. For years, the standard advice for cancer patients was to rest and avoid activity. Women recovering from breast cancer surgery were warned to lift no more than five pounds for fear it might precipitate or aggravate lymphedema, chronic swelling, usually of the arms or legs, caused by removal of the lymph nodes. “Women absolutely fear it,” Schmitz says. “Some say they’d rather have the other breast removed than get lymphedema. You can hide a mastectomy, but not a swollen arm.” Schmitz believed the guidelines were too risk-averse and impractical. “My baby weighed eight pounds. A gallon of milk weighs eight pounds,” she says. “When you consider what resistance exercise does for bone and metabolic health, it doesn’t make sense. Exercise improves your body’s ability to handle inflammation, injury, infection and trauma — the basic duties of the lymphatic system.” Which is exactly what Schmitz’s PAL study (for Phys-

ical Activity and Lymphedema), published last year, showed. Not only was weight training safe, it mitigated the worsening of lymphedema by 50 percent. That and similar findings spurred Schmitz and fellow members of an expert panel convened by the American College of Sports Medicine recently to declare: “Exercise training is safe during and after cancer treatments and results in improvements in physical functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related fatigue.” Addie Ford, 74, of Mount Airy, would agree. After a single mastectomy and the removal of 18 lymph nodes, Ford developed lymphedema. Recruited for the PAL study, she began a regular program of resistance exercise, which she continues today at a local rec center. “Weightlifting has given me more control of my life,” Ford says. “It keeps the fluids down and has given me more mobility and upper-body strength. Before, I could lift only one bag of groceries; now I can lift two. You have more freedom and can do your own thing.” Add Schmitz: “For so long, we’ve told people to walk or engage in aerobic exercise. If you do only one thing as an adult getting older, do resistance exercise. At the least, it will keep you strong enough that you’re able to do aerobic exercise.” Contact columnist Art Carey at 215-854-5606 or acarey@phillynews.com.

Blacks and kidney disease

KIDNEY DISEASE from C1 disease, according to the study released last month in the online issue of Science Magazine. “This is clearly a landmark paper,” says nephrologist Lawrence Holzman, chief of the Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension division at the University of Pennsylvania. He estimates that African Americans make up 70 percent of his patients. “It’s amazing how natural selection plays such an important role in a common disorder,” Holzman said. “This will start a gigantic avalanche for kidney research.” Penn evolutionary geneticist Sarah Tishkoff also praised the work, calling this one of the most important examples of genetic variation since the discovery of the sickle cell trait, which protected against malaria. Pollak’s laboratory has recently designed a specific APOL1 test to detect the presence of the mutations. The researchers hope this mechanism will pinpoint those individuals who are at high risk for kidney damage. “We need to figure out the mechanism by which these variants cause disease,” Pollak said. “Then, we hope, we can start to think about treatment.” The Harvard researchers used DNA samples from the 1000 Genomes Project’s database of individuals of African, European, and Asian descents. They discovered that 30 percent of African American chromosomes contained a mutated APOL1 gene, and observed that individuals with kidney failure were three times as likely to have both copies of the variant. Genetic alterations in other ethnic groups were not found. APOL1 can work to inactivate Trypanosoma parasites

Jeffrey Cook chats with nephrologist Alan G. Wasserstein while

getting dialysis at the Davita Dialysis building, University City. Researchers have found a causal link in the APOL1 gene. that cause the sleeping sickness. However, it can be ineffective against highly toxic forms of the parasite. Pollak and collaborators found that plasma from APOL1-mutated individuals was able to kill one of the most lethal parasites, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. But plasma from other ancestral groups and African Americans without the gene variant had no effect. Like the sickle cell trait, the gene is recessive, Pollak explains. “Those who inherit one mutant APOL1 gene are resistant to African sleeping sickness, whereas those with two copies are at risk for renal failure,” he said. The nephrology chief at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston says the risk is 10 times higher for individuals with two alleles (forms), compared to those with one. Any new treatment from this research can’t happen soon enough for West Philadelphia native Jeffrey B. Cooke Sr., 45, who learned he had kidney failure three years ago. Cooke represents

the third generation of renalfailure victims in his family and is one of the 136,000 African Americans undergoing dialysis treatments across the country, according to the National Kidney Foundation. “I always talk to my 10-yearold son,” Jeffrey Jr., “about the importance of taking care of his body and watching what he eats,” says the father of two. Cooke says the disorder has been limiting. “I can’t partake in summer league sports, travel, or work because of my dialysis treatments, which are three times a week,” said the former Lincoln University outfielder and Merrill Lynch financial adviser. When told about the study, Cooke said “it’s a nice thought to know that maybe something is out there. … I don’t wish kidney disease on anybody, especially not my kids. I’m glad that there is hope for them.” Contact staff writer Vabren L. Watts at 215-854-2245 or vwatts@phillynews.com.

Early prison release for LiLo? By Tirdad Derakhshani INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Even as you read this, Lindsay Lohan may be free. LiLo, who on July 20 began serving a 90-day stretch, was expected to be let go as early as Sunday evening because of overcrowding at her Los Angeles-area jail. But freedom is a relative term: Upon her release, LiLo must report to rehab. She will reportedly spend 90 days at Morningside Recovery in Orange County, Calif., for treatment of crystal-meth addiction and bipolar disorder. The exclusive rehab, which offers surfing, snorkeling, and yoga, costs $10,000 to $15,000 a month. Once out of rehab, LiLo will be subjected to random drug testing for a year.

Dear Amy: Almost seven years ago, my wife of 24 years learned that I had a 10-year affair with her closest friend. I had ended that relationship, but then I had a two-year affair with another friend of hers. (Affair partner No. 1 exposed my second affair to my wife.) I moved out, my wife divorced me, and our two grown kids were traumatized and disappointed in me, but chose to see that I was horribly ashamed of my behavior and forgave me. My former wife and I continued in therapy with the hopes of reconciliation. We are now living together. My commitment to her and our family is certain. I live with shame for what I did and how it affected many lives. My former wife will not go to social events if she might see the women who betrayed her. We have not seen the other couples in several years. My ex-wife’s pain from these traumas is always just below the surface, and I hear about my affairs again and again. I love her, but I am tiring of hearing about my actions, which traumatized me too. Is full reconciliation impossible? I can’t take back 12 years of adultery, but I want a future with the woman I loved all along. — Now, True Blue Dear Now: It is possible for your wife to forgive you and yet not be able to forget. Remember that she was betrayed not only by you, but by two friends. That’s a lot to get over. It is exceptionally hostile for you to choose to be unfaithful to your wife with her friends. I can only hope that in addition to atoning for your actions, you have also at least attempted to

By Patrick Berkery FOR THE INQUIRER

Someone forgot to tell Tom Petty that arena crowds don’t want to hear classic rockers play their new music in concert anymore. And they certainly don’t want to hear said new music delivered in a 20-minute block. But as they’ve been doing every night on their current tour, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers dedicated the middle of their hour-and-forty-minute set Saturday at the Wells Fargo (formerly Wachovia) Center to their new album Mojo, a collection of blues, R&B, and rootssteeped tunes devoid of anything resembling a classic Petty hook or harmony vocal. So as Petty and company offered up four new songs, many in the crowd occupied themselves with trips to the restrooms and concessions, or by sending pictures and updates to their social networks. That’s too bad. While the material might have been unfamiliar, the performances were plenty

JASON DeCROW / Associated Press

Tom Petty, shown in 2008, and the Heartbreakers included four new songs in their set at the Wells Fargo Center.

feistier than the early set readings of “Free Fallin’ ” or “I Won’t Back Down.” “Good Enough” picked up where the lurching coda of the Beatles’ “I Want You (She’s so Heavy)” left off. The song’s slow-burn grind was tailor-made for lead guitarist Mike Campbell’s hazy phrasing and frantically picked solos. And in the uptempo ode to survival “Running Man’s Bible,” the 59-year-old Petty spun lines such as “I took on my father

and I’m still walking/Took on all comers in some shape or form” in a devilish drawl, capping the tune with some very deliberate lead guitar of his own. By contrast to the mid-set Mojo break, the remainder of the show was filled with familiar safe bets. Some are still sublime after all these years — “Listen to Her Heart,” “Breakdown,” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream” — some a little too familiar. Though they are a comfortable fit for his time-weathered vocal range, Petty might want to think about sending the aforementioned warhorses, “Free Fallin’ ” and “I Won’t Back Down,” to the glue factory. Giving the versatile and skilled Heartbreakers just 20 minutes a night to throw out the playbook they have been using for several decades is a waste of a great band and an extremely deep catalog. Those fans who took the time to make banners requesting deeper cuts such as “Zombie Zoo” and “King’s Highway” would probably appreciate it.

Happy Birthday This year, you encounter obstacles when you least expect them. You are learning about a boss, respected authority figure or someone who means a lot to you. The demands of a situation could create a lot of stress. Take up some form of exercise or meditation. Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Understand the demands that are made on you. Remember, they are only demands. You make them into more. You could choose to lose that energy. It would be more efficient. Tonight: Gather your bills. Taurus (April 20-May 21) ★★★★★ Your insights remain key, though you could run into obstacles. Information heads in your direction that forces you to revise your thinking. Tonight: Do only what you want. Gemini (May 22-June 20) ★★★ Listen to others, specifically a partner. You wonder why and how this person has such a complete understanding of an issue you are trying to grasp. Tonight: Chat over dinner. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Defer to others, understanding that you, too, have limits. You could have difficulty getting into the swing of an intense day. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ You might feel that you have your hands full, as everyone seems to dump their work on you. You can handle the pressure, but be wise and set limits. Detach from the immediate issue. Tonight: Try something new. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ If you’re feeling entrenched or locked, do move away from the situation mentally, and possibly physically as well. You demand perfection of yourself. As a result, you will find solutions. Talk to an expert in such matters. Tonight: Surf the Net. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You suddenly reveal more of your thoughts. Others could challenge you. The more questions, the more someone plays devil’s advocate, the better off you are. You will be able to see any problems in your thinking. Tonight: See what is offered. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Take a hint, and know when to back off. There is a point where you and others will have had enough. You could become caught up in a power play. Back off while you can. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. Visit. Catch up on news. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21) ★★★ Maintain your focus on the big picture. You might be wondering if you can keep up this

hectic pace. You take a stand. Explain where you are coming from. Listen to feedback. Tonight: Focus on what must be done. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ Your creativity comes through when a jam appears. A boss or someone you care about could challenge you. A partner develops a major chip on his or her shoulder. Tonight: A must appearance. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Stay centered, knowing full well what you want. You could be tired and drawn. Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. You might want to pull back or distance yourself from a difficult situation. Tonight: Happy to be home. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ Keep reaching out for others. You might want to rethink a relationship. You might be in a phase where you are both changing. You could become closer once more. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat.

Cy the Cynic says it’s an ill wind that blows no minds. I suspect that what today’s West experienced could safely be called mind-blowing. Cy, South, did what most players would have done over East’s four-heart preempt: He risked four spades. West, looking at seven — count ’em, seven — trumps plus an ace roared out a penalty double and led the ace of hearts. West shifted to the queen of clubs, and Cy took the ace and led a trump to his ace, getting the expected news. The Cynic next let the nine of diamonds ride and continued with the queen. He led a third diamond to the ace and cashed the king of clubs. By that time, West had six trumps left, and Cy had the K-Q-10-8 of trumps, a club and a heart. Cy led a good diamond from the dummy and pitched the

club, and West had to ruff and lead a trump. Cy won with the eight and led his heart, and West — wearing a dazed expression — had to ruff East’s winner and lead a trump from his J-9-7 to Cy’s K-Q-10. Making four!

Bridge By Frank Stewart

DAILY QUESTION: You hold: ♠ 2 ♥ 10 8 7 ◆ A J 10 3 2 ♣ A K 3 2. You open one diamond, and your partner bids one heart. What do you say? ANSWER: Expert opinion would be divided. A bid of two clubs looks easy and obvious, but if your partner next bid two no-trump, two diamonds or three clubs, the hand would be too weak for a third bid, and a heart fit might be lost. Moreover, the opponents may be about to bid spades. Though I’d prefer better support, I’d raise to two hearts.

Lookin At Lucky wins the Haskell Invitational by four lengths. D7. M ONDAY, AUGUST 2, 2010

By Jeff McLane

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Andy Reid doles out carries to his running backs like scraps under the table. So when a back gets a leftover from his beloved passing game, it’s best to gnaw on it and make the best of what’s left on the bone. But what happens when there are three or four running backs scrounging for carries? Are they satisfied with their portions or do they bark for more? The Eagles have a stable of running backs in training camp this year, and the pecking order is in place. LeSean McCoy, tak-

ing over full time for Brian Westbrook, is the No. 1 tailback. Mike Bell, despite a hamstring injury he suffered Sunday, is the backup. And Eldra Buckley, Charles Scott and newly acquired J.J. Arrington will fight it out for the third spot. But there is also Leonard Weaver, a hybrid fullback making running back money. The trick for Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg this season, however, is not divvying up the pie so that each running back is content. It’s in finding the right complement to improve the offense. Bell, playing for Super Bowl See RUNNING BACKS on D3

Running back Mike Bell grabs his left hamstring after getting hurt. Eagles linebacker Stewart Bradley also hurt his hamstring.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — DeSean Jackson and Stewart Bradley, two of the Eagles’ most important players, sat out practice Sunday, and more Birds might join them on the training-camp sideline Monday. That’s because running back Mike Bell, cornerback Asante Samuel, guard Max Jean-Gilles, and center A.Q. Shipley each left practice early with a range of injuries.

It was only the third day of full-team practices at Lehigh University. Six weeks remain before the Sept. 12 season opener. Bell’s injury, at first glance, appeared to be the most serious: The hard-running No. 2 halfback pulled up while running in the open field and crumpled to the ground, grasping his left hamstring. After a strong morning practice, Bell cursed when trainers had to cart him off the field. Wide receiver Jackson was out with a back strain suffered in Saturday’s practice, according to the team. Bradley sat with a hamstring spasm in his right leg, the same side on which he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament last year. See EAGLES on D3

Howard hopes ankle sprain isn’t serious By Ray Parrillo

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

WASHINGTON — In retrospect, Ryan Howard should have stayed home for the weekend. The guy Phillies manager Charlie Manuel calls the Big Piece came to the nation’s capital Friday a weary slugger, got his first night off of the season Saturday, then left Nationals Park on Sunday on crutches. His left ankle was swollen and sore enough to make him forget about the pain in his right elbow that was the consequence of John Lannan’s

wayward fastball. It could have been worse. In a season in which 14 Phillies have gone on the disabled list, including several the team can barely live without, Manuel had to be thinking the worst as he ambled out to assist Howard, who went down while scrambling back to second base after a first-inning single by Ben Francisco. “Actually, I thought he wrenched his knee,” Manuel said after the Phillies manufactured a 6-4 win over the Nats in 11 innings.

When a video replay showed Howard’s ankle bent at an ugly angle, the season flashed before the Phillies’ eyes. X-rays on both the ankle and elbow showed no breaks. In Manuel’s worst scenario, Howard might miss a couple of games in a three-game series that begins Tuesday against the Marlins in Florida. “If anything, he’ll miss a day, or he might miss Tuesday or Wednesday, but he could very well be in the lineup Tuesday,” Manuel said.

LONG POND, Pa. — Greg Biffle paid tribute to his fallen car owner by snapping a 64-race NASCAR Sprint Cup winless streak Sunday at Pocono Raceway, rocketing away from the field over the final 21 laps to take the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500. “This one’s for Jack,” Biffle said after speaking with Jack Roush by phone from the team owner’s hospital room at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Roush, 68, is recuperating

from surgery for facial injuries after crash-landing his private jet Tuesday night in Wisconsin. Biffle also was quick to credit crew chief Greg Erwin and his Roush Fenway Racing crew for getting the No. 16 Ford Fusion off pit road with multiple, lightning-quick, two-tire stops. “Greg Erwin and those guys just never gave up,” Biffle said. “The car was just phenomenally fast there at the end.” Coming out of the day’s fifth and final caution, Biffle seized the lead from Sam Hornish Jr. See POCONO on D2

Appleby wins with 59 to tie PGA record ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Stuart Appleby hit golf’s magic number Sunday, shooting a 59 to win the Greenbrier Classic. Appleby’s 11-under round put him at 22 under to end a four-year winless drought. Third-round leader Jeff Overton finished second by 1 stroke after his birdie try slid by the hole on the par-3 18th. Appleby is the fifth PGA Tour player to reach the 59 milestone. The Australian’s round came less than a month after Paul Goydos had a 59 at John Deere Classic. The others to shoot 59 were Al Geiberger at the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck at the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational and David Duval at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. Appleby had nine birdies and an eagle in his round of on the Old White course. He is the first to shoot a 59 on a par-70 course.

Bernhard Langer shot a final round 3-under 67 and took advantage of Fred Couples’ critical mistake to complete a daunting trans-Atlantic double and win the U.S. Senior Open championship. Coming off a victory at the Senior British Open last week at Carnoustie, Langer finished at 8 under for the tournament, fighting off jet lag and a partisan hometown crowd hoping Couples could pull out victory just 20 miles east of where he grew up. Just like a dozen years ago when the PGA Championship was played at Sahalee Country Club, it wasn’t to be for Couples. Tied with Langer starting the day, Couples birdied the opening hole before his undoing on No. 2, a par 5 and the easiest hole on the course. Couples plopped his third shot in the greenside pond and by the time he walked off with a triple bogey, he was in chase mode. Langer didn’t let him catch up. Couples, who was runnerup at the Senior PGA Champi-

LPGA SOUTHPORT England — Taiwan’s Yani Tseng won the

Women’s British Open by 1 stroke, making a six-foot putt on the last hole to hold off Australia’s Katherine Hull. Hull had trailed Tseng by 4 strokes entering Sunday’s final round at Royal Birkdale but pulled within a stroke coming to the 18th hole. The Aussie missed a 20-foot birdie attempt and finished with a 70.

The contact sent Busch into the outside wall, then the No. 2 Dodge ricocheted wickedly across the grass infield.

Biffle roars to victory at Pocono

POCONO from D1 and went on to build a lead of more than five seconds before settling for a 3.598-second margin over runner-up Tony Stewart. The brilliant burst at the end, with cars scrambling for position in Biffle’s wake, was in stark contrast to the start of the race. The action over the first 315 miles was as dreary as the morning downpour, with the 43-car field playing follow the leader at 165 m.p.h. Jimmie Johnson’s dominant run over that span gave the fans little to cheer — and afforded opponents little hope — as Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon appeared to be the lone driver who was able to keep Johnson‘s No. 48 Chevrolet in view. Then almost magically, when the green flag flew for a restart on Lap 127, a switch seemed to click on and the real racing began. In-car radios crackled with crew chiefs warning drivers that rain clouds were rolling in from west of the raceway. The effort to beat the weather resulted in three-wide racing, which is not the most prudent way to navigate Pocono’s nar-

Knocked breathless, Sadler climbed from the car and lay on the ground before an ambulance ride to the infield care center, where he was examined and released. “That’s definitely the hardest hit I’ve ever had in a race car,” said Sadler, who one day earlier won Pocono’s inaugural Camping World Truck Series race. Busch, meanwhile, was also given medical clearance before placing the blame for the frightening incident on the

four-time defending Sprint Cup champion. “I got wrecked,” Busch said. “Jimmie Johnson drove straight through us.” Claiming that he was bumpdrafting when he came in contact with Busch, Johnson apologized over his radio as NASCAR parked the remaining cars on the track for a red flag period of nearly 30 minutes. A lengthy pit stop under yellow subsequently removed Gordon’s powerful No. 24 Impala from contention, then another red flag — a 17-minute stoppage for rain — set the stage for Biffle’s dynamic 21-lap dash to the finish.

nerback Darrelle Revis is holding out from training camp, locked in a contract dispute with the team. Revis did not report with teammates as they arrived for the start of the camp. Revis is to make $1 million in the fourth year of his sixyear rookie deal, but he wants to be the league’s highest-paid cornerback. Oakland’s Nnamdi Asomugha holds that distinction, signing a three-year, $45.3 million extension last off-season.

The two-time all-pro defensive tackle won’t be allowed to practice until he passes the test. He failed it on the first day of training camp Thursday and again on Friday. He didn’t take it Saturday. Haynesworth is the only Redskins player required to take the test because he skipped the team’s off-season conditioning program.

Wayne cuts comedy for Indy.

Reggie Wayne ditched the flashy camp entrance and sneaked in without a word. Peyton Manning’s favorite receiver and Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Mathis ended speculation about holdouts by reporting to training camp. The team’s new reportingday policy assured there would be no comedy routine — or immediate face time — from Wayne, Mathis, or almost any other Colts’ player. Wayne and Mathis skipped the team’s mandatory threeday minicamp. To avoid distractions, team officials prohibited access to all players except Manning. TV cameras and a photographer were permitted to shoot but were kept 75 yards away. Last year, Wayne arrived in a dump truck complete with hard hat and orange construction vest.

EAGLES TRAINING CAMP

Jordan moves past Fokou — for now By Jonathan Tamari

lights. In the morning, Kolb hit LeSean McCoy with a short pass that turned into a score. The secondteam defense blitzed on the play and McCoy was all alone when he caught the ball at about the 25-yard line. He sped untouched to the end zone with help from a Hank Baskett block downfield. Michael Vick and Mike Kafka each hit Riley Cooper on long touchdowns of more than 50 yards. It was probably the best deep throw Kafka has had in Eagles practices. Vick had a big gain on what looked like a designed run sold by a fake handoff. He might have been able to go for a touchdown, but it’s hard to say for sure because defenders treat the quarterback gingerly.

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — After just three full-team practices at training camp, the Eagles are tinkering at linebacker. Akeem Jordan lined up with the first-team defense at linebacker Eagles strong-side Sunday, bumping Moise Notes Fokou down to the second unit, at least for the day. Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott tried 10 combinations at linebacker last year, none for more than three consecutive weeks, in large part because he faced a raft of injuries. Sunday’s change, though, was not injury related. McDermott said it was about competition. McDermott praised Jordan’s past production in explaining the change and noted his edge in experience. Jordan is entering his fourth year in the NFL. Fokou is entering his second season. “We’re just trying to find the best combination of the first three,” McDermott said. He later added, “It really goes with the territory. If you’ve been around sports long enough, this happens all the time. At the same time, it’s a challenge for Moise, or the player in question, to rise up and respond to the challenge.” McDermott said the change is not a reflection on Fokou, saying “his best football is ahead of him.” Both players said they take the changes in stride, and just want to fight for a job.

Akeem Jordan closes in on Brent Celek. Jordan and Moise Fokou are both chasing the strong-side linebacker spot. “It’s football; we’re doing something we love to do,” Fokou said. “Whether its first team, second team, you’re going to go out there and give it your all every play. “Right now we’re out there competing with each other, trying to get the best 53-man roster we can.” Jordan has primarily played weakside linebacker, but said the strong side is about the same. He said he was eager to get on the field in any position he can.

Defense delivers

The play of the morning came

from a group effort by the first-team defense, which stuffed the secondteam offense on a fourth-and-1 run. A swarm of defenders got in on the play. “It was a great team effort. Everyone held their piece,” said Brodrick Bunkley, one of several defenders at the point of attack. McDermott was particularly proud because the defense had not even worked on short-yardage situations yet this camp. “That’s gut-check time … I was proud of how the players responded,” McDermott said.

The defense also seemed to get the better of the afternoon session. With the team practicing the blitz, pass rushers were consistently getting close to the quarterbacks (of course stopping short of hitting them). Nate Allen intercepted a pass from Kevin Kolb after Joselio Hanson provided pressure. Allen has a way of finding the ball — and sure hands once he reaches it. Later, Keenan Clayton intercepted Mike Kafka and Ellis Hobbs picked off Kolb. The offense did have a few high-

Linebacker Tracy White, re-signed Saturday night, made his presence felt early. The special-teams ace bowled over a blocker on kick-return practice, even though it was a noncontact drill. “Tracy White’s back!” his teammates called out.

Wait, come back …

The Eagles recalled the waiver placed on running back Martell Mallet, changing their mind about 17 hours after releasing him Saturday night. Instead they waived fullback Dwayne Wright, leaving Leonard Weaver as the only fullback on the roster. Contact staff writer Jonathan Tamari at 215-854-5214 or jtamari@phillynews.com.

Injury bug continues ravaging Birds

MATT ROURKE / Associated Press

Reporters at Eagles camp don’t have to hunt for the top draft pick, defensive end Brandon Graham. He finds them.

Graham is eagerly befriending media

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Brandon Graham is fighting for playing time on the field. Once the hitting is done, though, he appears to be running for mayor. Graham, a defensive end, has vowed to “kill QBs” but seems to have a pleasant demeanor toward everyone else. He has made a habit of shaking hands with every reporter who lurks outside the Eagles’ locker rooms at the Lehigh practice fields, an unusual tack even among the most media-friendly players. Typically, a handful of scribes huddle behind the A. Haigh Cundey Varsity House so they can grab quotes or some insight on the day. The players, meanwhile, seldom approach the press unless they are first approached. Graham is an exception. The rookie bounds out and shakes hands with every reporter there. Sunday, he was so enthusiastic in greeting the waiting writers that one unexpecting newsman dropped his BlackBerry. (The device is listed as day-to-day.) “You might as well make friends with them, that’s just how I look at it,” the first-round pick said.

from

LEHIGH field — much to the delight of Eagles fans in the bleachers. Riley Cooper, the wide receiver teammates call “Sunshine,” after a similarly long-haired character in the movie Remember the Titans, had two touchdown catches of more than 50 yards, on bombs from Michael Vick and Mike Kafka. Fans, who have taken an early liking to Cooper, went wild. Throughout practice they called out, “Come on, Sunshine!” and “Way to go, Sunshine!” They even cheered when he engaged in a physical battle with cornerback Macho Harris, no doubt remembering the fight Cooper had with Ellis Hobbs on Saturday. He is already drawing attention for his size, hair and receiving potential. Perhaps a little scuffle only further endeared Cooper to Philadelphia. — Jonathan Tamari Follow the action at training camp with breaking news, analysis, video, photo slide shows and more: www.philly.com/eagles

Receiver Riley “Sunshine” Cooper is catching on fast as a fan favorite. He snared two 50-yard-plus TD passes Sunday.

EAGLES from D1 Bradley’s injury sounds mild, but it represents another speed bump in his attempt to return to the field and highlighted the Eagles’ potentially precarious situation at middle linebacker. The critical position lies in the hands of Bradley and Omar Gaither, two players who are trying to return from significant physical problems in 2009. With those two hurt, the team cycled through six different starters in the middle last season, but the only insurance brought in for 2010 was Jamar Chaney, a seventhround draft choice out of Mississippi State. Instead of adding reinforcements, the Eagles are counting on Bradley to return as a physical force and leader. So far, though, he has been bothered by nagging injuries. He also missed June practices with a left calf injury. Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott downplayed concern about Bradley, whom he has called the quarterback of his defense. Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder “feels good about it, Stew feels good about it, and so does [coach Andy Reid],” McDermott said. “We look to have him back very soon.” Gaither filled in for Bradley on Sunday. The five-year veteran, who is coming back from a Lisfranc foot sprain that ended his 2009 season after five weeks, said he and Bradley will be fine. Gaither noted that he has started at middle linebacker before, holding the top spot in all

Middle linebacker Stewart Bradley’s hamstring injury appears mild, but it represents a speed bump in his attempt to return. It also highlights the Eagles’ shallow depth at that position. of 2007 and most of 2008. “I’ve done it for an entire season, so when I go in, it’s just like it’s real seamless,” Gaither said. The team listed Bradley as day-to-day and had the same prognosis for Jackson. Bell had a strong morning practice, pounding the ball on inside runs and blasting Trent Cole off his feet on a passblocking assignment, and was off to a good start in the afternoon before he got hurt. He caught a pass over the middle and was accelerating away from linebacker Keenan Clayton when he pulled up and dropped to the ground. He was audibly angry. The injury came just a few hours after he had expressed great optimism about the season. “I expect the best out of myself and I really don’t think I’ve reached it yet,” Bell said after the morning session, be-

fore he got hurt. Bell later left the locker room with his left leg in a compression wrap and, clearly not in the mood to talk, said simply, “I’m all right.” He did not appear to have a noticeable limp. Samuel also seemed to be walking without a problem. He had quietly ridden off the field in a cart. While losing Samuel would be a significant blow, there seemed to be little cause for concern Sunday. Samuel’s left hamstring injury went almost unnoticed at the time it happened, and he cracked jokes afterward when talking about his prognosis. “I’m not a mad scientist,” he said. “I might be out there tomorrow.” Dimitri Patterson took his place in practice. Jean-Gilles, who had offseason lap-band surgery to lose weight, was dehydrated,

the Eagles said. He gave a thumbs-up to reporters as he got into his truck. The problem sounds minor, but if it persists, it could add to the worries on an already wobbly offensive line. The Eagles already have an ailing guard, Todd Herremans, who is out with a foot injury. JeanGilles was filling in for him. Mike McGlynn stepped into Jean-Gilles’ guard spot in practice. The line is also missing center Jamaal Jackson, who is recovering from knee surgery. Shipley is competing to take Jackson’s place, but he hurt his ankle in the late session. He had been limping earlier in the day. Contact staff writer Jonathan Tamari at 215-854-5214 or jtamari@phillynews.com. Staff writer Jeff McLane contributed to this article.

McCoy, Bell look like best of the backs RUNNING BACKS from D1 champion New Orleans last season, was part of one of the better three-headed running back monsters of recent memory. Pierre Thomas was the dual-threat, shifty tailback. Reggie Bush was the passcatching threat out of the backfield. And Bell was the northsouth, short-yardage back. “We have great running backs in the backfield that can do different things and bring different things to the table,” Bell said earlier in the day before his injury. “I think that’s what you need. You need a variety of different things so teams won’t get used to running the same exact play.” While the Eagles may not have the same firepower as the 2009 Saints, they do have running backs that balance each other. If the 6-foot, 225-pound Bell likes to power ahead, McCoy prefers to bob and weave through a defense. “Mike is obviously a bigger guy and more of a power guy … and if he sees that spot and you’re in the way, he’s

taking you with him,” Reid said. “McCoy kind of picks and chooses in that area, but he’s got that elusiveness that is rare in this league.” Both have displayed their styles in the early portion of camp, despite some early rust from the offensive line. Bell, before his injury, continued to get tough yards running as the second-team tailback against the first-team defense in the live tackling sessions of practice. McCoy showed a great burst, especially when he took a screen pass from quarterback Kevin Kolb Sunday and ran 30-plus yards for a score. “It feels like I’m a sophomore back at Pitt — finding holes, breaking tackles, making receptions,” said McCoy, who left college after only two seasons. “Last year, I thought I had a good year. But there was something missing. The extra … whatever I have.” After two moribund seasons in Denver and then in New Orleans, Bell rebounded last season for 654 yards and

five touchdowns on 172 carries. But when the Eagles signed him as restricted free agent, it raised a few eyebrows because Bell hadn’t done much pass-catching since his rookie year and because he had pretty much never been asked to block. Both skills are necessary for a running back in the Eagles’ West Coast offense. During the morning practice, Bell pancaked defensive end Trent Cole. “I caught him off guard a little bit,” Bell said. “It’s important because I was never really asked to do that before in my career.” Arrington could find a niche if he shows he has recovered from microfracture knee surgery in June 2009. He participated in his first Eagles practice Sunday after the Eagles traded away linebacker Joe Mays to Denver for his rights. Even though his new No. 33 jersey didn’t have his name on the back, Arrington feels like his pass-catching abilities will keep him aboard.

“I definitely think I can bring that here,” Arrington said. “I used to run routes and stuff outside the backfield, so I figure once I understand the routes and the motions, I’ll be pretty good with that.” If Arrington does pan out — or even if Buckley, a relentless runner, or Scott, a runover-people rookie, wins the last spot — the Eagles could have their best trio of running backs since 2003 when Correll Buckhalter, Duce Staley and Westbrook split Reid’s crumbs. “It’s important to have three good running backs and that’s what we’re trying to put together here now,” said Staley, a coaching intern during camp. “Of course, these guys are young. McCoy is young, but you see the talent in McCoy. When you look at Bell, you see the talent.” Contact staff writer Jeff McLane at 215-854-4745 or jmclane@phillynews.com.

CINCINNATI — Brandon Phillips ripped the tying triple with two out in the fifth inning and scored the tiebreaking run on shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s error, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Atlanta Braves, 2-1, on Sunday in the rubber game of the weekend series. Ramon Hernandez was on first when Phillips lifted a fly ball down the rightfield line that eluded a diving Jason Heyward and bounced into the corner. Orlando Cabrera followed with a routine

grounder to Gonzalez, but the former Reds infielder dropped the ball, and Phillips scored while Cabrera easily beat the throw to first. The NL East-leading Braves have lost three of four and went 3-6 on their 10-day trip, earning one win at each stop. They wasted a solid outing by Tommy Hanson (8-8), who allowed an earned run and five hits in 71/3 innings. Rick Ankiel started in center field and went 0 for 3 with a walk in his first game with Atlanta. The Braves acquired Ank-

Dwight “Doc” Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, former manager Davey Johnson and longtime general manager Frank Cashen were inducted into the New York Mets’ Hall of Fame on Sunday. All were key parts of the 1986 World Series title team. Hall members Keith Hernandez, Mookie Wilson and Gary Carter — all part of the ’86 team — were on hand. Righthander Carlos Silva left the Chicago Cubs’ game against Colorado in the first inning after experiencing an abnormal heartbeat. He was examined by Colorado’s team doctors before being sent to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver, where he will spend the night for observation. The team said Silva’s pulse rate was a result of a syndrome called PSVT, which causes an abnormally high heart rhythm. Paramedics corrected the pulse on the way to the hospital, where the former Phillie was said to be back to normal.

Houston signed righthander Brett Myers to a two-year contract extension with a club option for a third year on Sunday. The guaranteed value of the two-year deal, including a buyout on the third season, is $21 million. If the third-season option is picked up, the total is $28 million. The former Phillie is 8-6 with a 3.10 ERA and is the only pitcher in the majors to have gone at least six innings in each start — he’s made 21 — this season.

NEW YORK — Adam LaRoche hit a pair of three-run homers and Daniel Hudson made a memorable debut for Arizona, which turned Citi Field into a launching pad in a romp in front of a booing New York crowd. Hudson (1-0) allowed three hits in eight innings in his sixth career start, the first since he was acquired from the White Sox last week in the deal that sent Edwin Jackson to Chicago. Hudson, 23, allowed only one hit after the first inning, and laced a two-run double in the fifth for his first career hit.

HOUSTON — Jason Michaels slugged a pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh inning and Houston beat Milwaukee to complete the three-game sweep. The Astros trailed, 2-0, before Michaels’ drive to the first row in left for his seventh homer of the season. Brewers starter Randy Wolf was cruising before he was hit on his left wrist by Hunter Pence’s single with none out in the seventh, forcing the lefthander from the game. There was no immediate update on his injury.

ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit a tworun homer and Adam Wainwright stayed unbeaten at home with seven strong innings and the go-ahead RBI in St. Louis’ win over Pittsburgh. Wainwright (15-6) allowed one earned run and six hits. He struck out five and did not walk a batter. He retired 10 in a row at one point and lowered his ERA to 2.19.

DENVER — Jorge De La Rosa pitched into the seventh inning to earn his first win in three months as Colorado beat Chicago for the Rockies’ fourth straight victory.

SAN DIEGO — Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a two-run double with two outs in the sixth inning to chase Florida ace Josh Johnson, and San Diego avoided a threegame sweep. Newly acquired Ryan Ludwick came up big during the three-run rally, delivering a pinch single and sliding in ahead of the throw after Hairston doubled over leftfielder Logan Morrison’s head. Johnson’s major-league-leading ERA rose from 1.72 to 1.96.

SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain pitched four-hit ball into the eighth for surging San Francisco, earning his first career win against Los Angeles as the Giants completed a three-game sweep. Edgar Renteria hit a two-run triple in the sixth for San Francisco, which won eight of its last 10 games. Cain (9-8) allowed four hits in 72/3 innings, improving to 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in his last four starts. The righthander had lost all eight previous decisions against San Francisco’s longtime rival. Newly acquired Javier Lopez got the last out of the eighth and Brian Wilson finished the four-hitter for his 31st save.

The Stephen Strasburg news of the day is that nothing happened to Stephen Strasburg on Sunday. Media scrutiny of the Washington Nationals’ flamethrower is so intense that a pain-free sideline session breeds news flashes. Strasburg played catch on Sunday morning for the first time since he was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 29 and reported no pain. He’ll play catch again in Arizona on Monday, joining millions of American youngsters in the harmless pastime.

Floyd hurls White Sox past A’s ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Gavin Floyd carried a perfect game into the sixth inning before settling for another outstanding outing, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Brent Lillibridge hit a three-run triple for Chicago, which has won six of seven. The White Sox also improved to 20-2 in their last 22 games at U.S. Cellular Field. Floyd (7-8) allowed one run and four hits in seven-plus innings, improving to

5-2 with a 1.06 ERA in his last 11 starts. The former Phillie walked Cliff Pennington with none out in the sixth for Oakland’s first baserunner. He then surrendered a one-out single to Matt Carson. Two more singles by Rajai Davis and Daric Barton cut Chicago’s lead to 4-1 and left the bases loaded with one out. But Floyd struck out Jack Cust and got Kevin Kouzmanoff to ground out, limiting the damage. Oakland starter Gio Gonzalez (9-7) pitched eight innings for his first career

complete game. He had a career-high 11 strikeouts without a walk and yielded six hits. Carlos Quentin hit a one-out single in the fifth for Chicago’s first baserunner against Gonzalez. Ramon Castro reached on an infield hit, and Gonzalez hit Andruw Jones with two out to load the bases. Lillibridge, playing second in place of Gordon Beckham, followed with a liner to right field that got by Carson before rolling to the fence. Juan Pierre added a bunt single to make it 4-0.

TORONTO — Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer, Jason Donald added a solo shot, and Cleveland beat Toronto. Jose Bautista, Aaron Hill and Yunel Escobar all hit solo homers for Toronto, but the Blue Jays still lost for the sixth time in seven games against the Indians. Called up from triple-A Columbus, Indians righthander Jeanmar Gomez (2-0) allowed two runs and five hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out two.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Gordon homered to lead Kansas City over Baltimore. Bruce Chen picked up his first win since July 3, lasting five innings. He allowed three runs and seven hits. The Royals worked out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the sixth inning. Adam Jones led off with a single. Felix Pie reached on Chen’s throwing error, and Jake Fox also singled. Rookie reliever Kanekoa Texeira replaced Chen and got Josh Bell to ground into a double play with Jones scoring. Texeira struck out Cesar Izturis to end the inning.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields worked into the eighth inning to outpitch CC Sabathia, prolong Alex Rodriguez’s quest for his 600th homer, and help Tampa Bay beat New York. Carl Crawford and Kelly Shoppach drove in runs for the Rays. The Yankees intended for Rodriguez to take a day off. But with Shields (10-9) sailing along with a three-run lead in the seventh, manager Joe Girardi inserted the slugger as a pinch-hitter with a runner on and two outs. Rodriguez took a third called strike. He remained in the game at third base but didn’t get to the plate again.

BOSTON — Pinch-runner Darnell McDonald scampered home when Marco Scutaro’s bunt was thrown away by pitcher Robbie Weinhardt, and Boston won in its last at-bat for the second straight game, beating Detroit. Jonathan Papelbon (4-4) earned the victory despite giving up Miguel Cabrera’s two-run double and a game-tying single by Jhonny Peralta in the ninth. Brad Thomas (4-1) took the loss, allowing an unearned run on two hits and a walk in one inning plus two batters. Clay Buchholz carried a two-hit shutout into the ninth before the Tigers tied it.

Low&Outside By Bob Kelley, Inquirer Staff Writer Guillen’s latest rant

Ozzie Guillen could use a logic translator. The White Sox manager went on a rant Sunday about how Asian players are treated better than Latinos: “Very bad. I say, why do we have Japanese interpreters and we don’t have a Spanish one? I always say that. Why do they have that privilege and we don’t? “Don’t take this wrong, but they take advantage of us. We bring a Japanese player and they are very good and they bring all these privileges to them. We bring a Dominican kid … go to the minor leagues, good luck. Good luck. And it’s always going to be like that.” Guillen also said that he’s the “only one” in baseball teaching young players from Latin JOHN SMIERCIAK / Associated Press America to avoid Ozzie Guillen feels Asian performance-enhancing drugs players are privileged. and that MLB doesn’t care about that but only about how often he argues with umpires.

Down Tampa Bay way

The Rays had been shopping mostly for hitters, then had to pick up Arizona reliever Chad Qualls instead due to unforeseeable boneheadedness. Qualls faced one batter Sunday but made it count — he got Berkman to ground into a double play. On Friday, Rays reliever Grant Balfour went out for four to six weeks with a left rib strain. He was on the field wrestling with pitching coach Jim Hickey during horseplay at batting practice when he got hurt. Speaking to the St. Petersburg Times, manager Joe Maddon called it “just kind of a freaky thing … something that guys do almost every day in these situations. Nothing ever happens. It happened.” His coaches wrestle with key players almost every day Angels 4, Rangers 1 during a tight pennant race with the Yanks?

WASHINGTON — When Raul Ibanez dove for a ball in the first inning Saturday, it looked gruesome. His left wrist bent so far that Phillies backward his glove flew Notes off as the ball fell out for a single. But Ibanez shook it off and later hit a home run to tie the game in the seventh inning. After the game, Ibanez had an X-ray. It was negative, but the soreness was enough for Charlie Manuel to scratch Ibanez from his lineup Sunday. Ibanez is optimistic he can play Tuesday in Florida. “I banged it up pretty good there,” Ibanez said before Sunday’s 11-inning win over Washington. The leftfielder did not take batting practice. In Manuel’s original lineup, he was supposed to hit second and play left. After arriving at the ballpark, Ibanez had his left wrist and thumb wrapped in ice. Manuel decided he couldn’t go. Manuel had planned to give rookie Domonic Brown the day off against another lefthanded starter, but Ibanez’s injury inserted Brown into the lineup in right. He was 1 for 5 with an RBI single. It’s an inopportune time for Ibanez to sit out. He is riding a 10-game hitting streak and hit .337 with a .952 OPS in the month of July. Ibanez, always a streaky hitter, appears to be heating up. Manuel said he didn’t even consider using Ibanez as a pinch-hitter in Sunday’s 6-4 win. With Monday’s off day, Ibanez has two days in a row to rest the wrist. “It’s all right,” Ibanez said

NICK WASS / Associated Press

Phillies leftfielder Raul Ibanez lands on his left wrist Saturday chasing a ball off the bat of the

Nationals’ Josh Willingham. Ibanez stayed in the game, but soreness sidelined him Sunday. before Sunday’s game. “I’ll be all right by Tuesday.”

Two Hamels mistakes

For just the second time in his last 17 starts, Cole Hamels allowed more than three runs. Hamels has been the model of consistency since a shaky April. On Sunday, he wasn’t awful by any means. He tied a season high with 10 strikeouts. He had dominating stuff early in the game. “That was great and all,” Hamels said, “but I left two pitches up, one to [Ryan] Zimmerman and one to [Adam] Dunn. That kind of sums up the game. You can be on things, but you make that one mistake to those two guys and it’s costly.” The one he wanted back the most was a 2-0 fastball to Dunn that the slugger hit for a two-run home run in the sixth inning.

“I was just trying to get a strike,” Hamels said. “I threw it up. And that’s his hot zone. I should have just kept battling and not go for the strike right off the bat.” The pitch to Zimmerman was also a fastball up in the zone. Zimmerman hit it to right for a two-run double in the fourth. The four runs were the most he had allowed in a start since June 26. In his previous four starts, Hamels had allowed four earned runs in 272/3 innings. He remained encouraged with his outing. “I thought I was able to hit my spots pretty well,” Hamels said.

Extra bases

Placido Polanco, who delivered the go-ahead hit in the 11th inning, has hit safely in 21 of his last 24 games. He ranks fourth in the National

League with a .317 batting average this season. … Roy Halladay starts Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins, the first time he will pitch at Sun Life Stadium since his perfect game on May 29. Halladay is 5-5 since the perfect game with a 2.44 ERA. … Lefthander Sean West will start for Florida, the third straight game the Phillies will have faced a lefty. The Phillies will miss Marlins ace Josh Johnson in the three-game set. “That makes it a little bit easier,” Manuel said. “At the same time, they always play us good, just like Washington does.” … The Phillies flew to Florida after Sunday’s game. They will spend the off day there. Contact staff writer Matt Gelb at 215-854-2928 or mgelb@phillynews.com. Follow on Twitter at www.twitter.com/magelb.

Lidge hurls 1-2-3 11th as Phils win PHILLIES from D1 the Phillies were optimistic that the injury would not require a visit to the disabled list. When Valdez came to bat in the 11th, there was just one healthy player remaining on the bench. In that situation, Valdez said he knew he had to get on base. “You have to play it smart,” Valdez said. “I know I have great speed.” He bunted a Collin Balester fastball to the right side, too far for Balester to field. Adam Dunn charged the ball and flipped it to Balester, covering first. Valdez dove headfirst into the bag and first-base umpire Doug Eddings signaled safe. Replays showed Valdez might have been out. He said he thought he was safe. “That’s good baseball,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “That’s a smart play.” Valdez took second on a bunt by pitcher turned pinchhitter Roy Oswalt. He took third on a fly out to center. And with two outs, Placido Polanco singled up the middle to score Valdez. Jayson Werth followed with a double to bring home Polanco, just for insurance. Everything went right for

One day removed from a brutal blown save, closer Brad Lidge atoned with a perfect 11th for his 11th save of the season. “I really wanted the ball again today,” Lidge said. The Phillies avoided being swept by the Nationals for the first time since baseball returned to the nation’s capital. They gained a game on

the Atlanta Braves in the NL East and trail by 21/2 games with an off-day Monday. The 11th inning salvaged a weekend that could have been worse. With his bench short, Manuel sent Oswalt, who was acquired in a trade Thursday from Houston, to the plate after Valdez reached on his bunt single. It was the first time Manuel used a pitcher to pinch-hit this season. In the eighth inning, pitching coach Rich Dubee approached Oswalt in the dugout and asked if he could bunt. “Yeah, I can,” Oswalt told him. Oswalt went to the clubhouse, put his spikes on, and waited. The righthander had seven sacrifice bunts for Houston, more than any Phillie. He had pinch-hit twice in his career, both in 2006. The last time, he hit a double against the Cardinals but missed first base and was called out. “So I learned next time to make sure I hit first,” Oswalt said. Oswalt laid down a good bunt and Valdez moved to second. Jimmy Rollins hit a deepenough fly ball to center that

got Valdez to third. Then Polanco delivered. “It took that to win,” Manuel said. “We had to manufacture some runs and we did.” The bullpen had held the Nationals after Cole Hamels allowed four runs in seven innings. Ryan Madson and Jose Contreras were especially impressive. That set it up for Lidge. After a blown save, every closer wants the ball the next day. Lidge said he wanted it even more than normal Sunday. “I’m not throwing 95 [m.p.h.] right now, but I know I can still get people out,” Lidge said. “I know I can still make my pitches. I know my slider is still going to get swings and misses.” Ryan Zimmerman, Lidge’s foil on Saturday, grounded out to third to begin the 11th. Josh Willingham flied out to right. Adam Kennedy flied out to left. No sweat. “A clean inning,” Manuel said proudly. Contact staff writer Matt Gelb at 215-854-2928 or mgelb@phillynews.com. Follow on Twitter at www.twitter.com/magelb.

Howard hopes ankle is not badly hurt HOWARD from D1 Manuel’s assessment seemed overly optimistic, considering how badly the ankle was swollen, an ankle that has to bear about 250 pounds. “I’m hoping not,” Howard said when asked if a stint on the DL was possible. “I guess once the swelling goes down, we’ll see what happens. It’s kind of a bad sprain. I just rolled it pretty bad. Nothing broke, so that’s good. Hopefully, maybe it’ll just be a couple days, get the swelling down and it’ll be all right.” The Phillies are contending despite problems with the bullpen and stints on the DL by Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Placido Polanco, Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz, among others. Utley, recovering from surgery on his right thumb, has been out since June 29 and may not return before Labor Day. Victorino (abdominal strain) went on the 15-day DL Wednesday. Raul Ibanez, the team’s hottest hitter of late, was scratched before Sunday’s game after banging up his left

After Howard was helped off the field by Manuel and assistant athletic trainer Mark Andersen, he was replaced at first by Cody Ransom, then by Ross Gload. Gload started two games when Howard was used as a designated hitter, and first base is his natural position. Ransom made his initial start at first Saturday to give

Howard a rest. Howard had gone hitless in his previous 14 at-bats with eight strikeouts. He had played every game, including the All-Star Game, and admitted he was a bit worn down.

missed two games. He said Sunday he’d never had a sprained ankle. “I don’t recommend it for everybody,” he said. Actually, the weekend wasn’t an entire waste for Howard. “It’s funny,” he said. “I got to first base, and I’m thinking, man, my elbow hurts. Next play at second it’s, oh, now my ankle hurts. My elbow doesn’t hurt anymore.” Contact staff writer Ray Parrillo at 215-854-2743 or rparrillo@phillynews.com.

Field is left Lookin At Lucky The Preakness winner raced to the head of the 3-year-old class at the Haskell Invitational. By Mike Jensen

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

OCEANPORT, N.J. — Stay clear of trouble. That was jockey Martin Garcia’s mantra, and pretty much his marching orders from trainer Bob Baffert. If Garcia could accomplish that not-alwayssimple task in the $1 million Haskell Invitational, Lookin At Lucky would take care of the rest. Sunday’s trip at Monmouth Park — untroubled, and practically carefree — put aside any debate for best 3-year-old colt of 2010 honors. Lookin At Lucky took off at the top of the stretch and demolished a strong field to win the Haskell by four lengths. Lookin at Lucky had won the Preakness Stakes, but that victory, while deserved, went down more in the gutty and gritty category. This was a head-turner. In front of 40,904, Lookin At Lucky finished the 11/8-mile course in 1 minute, 49.83 seconds, giving Baffert his record fourth Haskell victory. Baffert also won the Haskell with Point Given (2001), War Emblem (2003), and Roman Ruler (2005). “We all get in this business to find out who has the best horse,” Baffert said, not comparing his own Haskell winners but saying this one is a little different than the others — “just easier to train … very intelligent.” Baffert said his horse was so calm coming into the race that he knew he’d either “run the way he did or not show up. Today, he was phenomenal.” The official chart notes that Lookin At Lucky, a 6-5 favorite, “bobbled at the start.” But Garcia said the horse actually didn’t stumble. “He broke fine,” he said. “He’s got so much power, it looked like a stumble, but he didn’t. He broke in front of everybody. … I just moved him to the outside because I knew I was on a super horse and I

wanted to keep him out of trouble. I knew I was on the best horse.” Baffert would not commit to the Aug. 28 Travers Stakes at Saratoga, but that’s where Lookin at Lucky can lock up best 3-year-old honors before turning to the Breeders’ Cup and the top older horses. Just behind Sunday’s winning horse was a pack of very good ones. Trappe Shot, undefeated in his last four races, finished second, three-quarters of a length ahead of Preakness runner-up First Dude, who set the early pace, then fought past Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver for third by a nose.

lengths back in fifth. “He ran well — very well,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said of Trappe Shot. “We were second to a top horse. We’re disappointed because we think an awful lot of this horse. But this race is the best of the best, and right now, we’re in second place.” When Baffert drew the No. 1 Haskell post position, he moaned that he “couldn’t believe how poorly this horse draws.” That was mostly shtick, more a reminder of past troubles than concern about how it would affect Lookin At Lucky, who faced six horses after Uptowncharlybrown was scratched Sunday morning with a fever.

Lookin At Lucky had drawn the No. 1 post at the Derby and was done in by it, seeing nothing but trouble and finishing sixth. According to Baffert, Garcia sat back longer because he’s used to that style on California’s synthetic tracks. “When he pushed the button, this horse really took off,” Baffert said. “You can’t make that move on synthetic [surfaces], but on dirt it was the winning move. That’s really what I like to see — running fast horses on fast tracks.” Contact staff writer Mike Jensen at 215-854-4489 or mjensen@phillynews.com.

A pilot program seeks to train law enforcement officers who want to work in parks in cities.

The Phila. story, as told by statistics

Last week, I wrote about the release of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns report. It’s a great resource to learn how Philadelphia’s economy compares with those in other big metropolitan areas. And since the data are searchable on the Census Bureau website, it’s easy to go deep on whatever aspect of business you’re interested in. For example, let’s look at the retail sector. Since Philadelphia is the nation’s fifth-largest metro region, I expect it to rank highly in comparisons among various industry sectors. Sure enough, when it comes to employment at pet-supplies stores, Philadelphia’s No. 4 with 2,911 people changing the water and filling food dishes at 216 stores. When Philadelphia doesn’t rank among the top, it makes me wonder what’s different here to cause such a result. Why, for example, do more people work for vending-machine operators in Columbus, Ohio, than in the Philadelphia region? We may love our snack foods, but only 996 people were employed here by 98 operators of vending machines. In Columbus, 1,093 work at just 41 such companies. With apologies to loyal Wawa patrons, I wouldn’t have guessed that the Philadelphia region would rank second in See PHILLYINC on E4

Melissa Burch, a Temple intern with the National Park Service in Philadelphia, adjusts her fitted hat. Below, she and fellow intern Giancarlo Graziani, who speaks Italian, have just helped Italian tourists at Independence National Historical Park. At right, both interns do a safety check at Welcome Park on Second Street.

What kind of person would want to be a national park ranger? An outdoorsy type? Someone who loves to tramp through the woods, scale mountains, ford streams? That’s not Melissa Burch. Her name may sound like a tree, but “I never even went hiking,” said Burch, a park ranger intern who clearly wasn’t all that eager to start communing with nature (or bears) on a regular basis. That makes her perfect for the job. Burch is one of 13 Temple University students involved in a pilot partnership with the National Park Service to cultivate and train gun-carrying law enforcement rangers who want to work in urban parks such as Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. “Most people who want to be park rangers want to be in places like Yellowstone National Park,” said Burch, who interns at Independence Park. “I think they want to get on a horse and ride around. But I love the city. I love that you can leave here and get on a bus.” If only chief regional ranger Jill A. Hawk (another appropriate park name) could have a forest of Burches. Hawk, who is stationed in Philadelphia, says she struggles to keep the law enforcement park ranger positions filled in cities like Philadelphia, or downtown Boston, where the national park includes Faneuil Hall.

Philadelphia International Airport’s reputation has improved. An

escalator leads to D Terminal, which was renovated in 2008.

When most of us travel to a particular city or part of the world, we don’t choose the destination because we want to hang out at an airport. When my wife and I spent a week in Oregon this summer, we were there to see the sights and visit family and friends. Yet, as soon as we arrived for the first time at PDX — Portland International Airport — I was impressed. It quickly became clear why the airport wins popularity contests, and why the city might deserve its reputation for being clean, green, and friendly. At PDX, the concourses we used were wide and filled with natural light streaming in through glass ceilings 40

or 50 feet overhead. The shops and eateries lining the concourses are almost all run by Oregon-based companies, not national chains. Everything looked swept and polished. The overall effect put me in a good mood. Philadelphia International, or PHL, working with a half-century-old layout for its terminals and runways, has a much tougher job providing that same

kind of immediate welcome to newcomers than do airports with newer facilities. But after using and observing PHL as a traveler and a paid critic of the place for more than 25 years, I find a heartening transformation here. The way the airport’s reputation has slowly changed for the better makes it every bit as appealing to me as what’s found in many other cities. Perhaps someday Philadelphia’s airport, with help from Tinicum Township and the federal government, will even solve some of its chronic flight-delay problems.
