Is it a ‘flash mob’ or simply just a mob? VIDEO COURTESY OF AINE DOLEY

Still trying to figure out a name for the unruly, even violent behavior of teens One witness says they give bad name to real flash mobs Saturday night’s Broad Street melee was the summer’s first major incident in what has become an unwelcome Philadelphia tradition that has yet to receive a universal name. The controversial term “flash mob” was originally used to refer to groups of people who used social media to organize benign public performances. Later extended to describe kids who used the same sites to meet up and cause mayhem, the term is now being used as a catch-all to describe large gatherings of rowdy youths, whether preplanned or not. “We call them wolf pack attacks in Upper Darby when you get a group of six or seven or more that attack somebody, but you can define it as a mob,” said Upper Darby Police Chief Michael Chitwood. “Whether you want to put the term ‘flash mob’ on it, that’s up to the investigating agency.” Other cities use the word “wilding” to describe the type of spur-of-the-moment chaos that occurred Saturday night, when crowds of unruly teens attacked several passers-by. “Flash mobs usually originate by some type of social networking, whether Facebook, Twitter or texting,” said Chitwood, who is deal-

“It’s about the immediacy of a group of people coming together through some type of communication system for some type of criminality. It’s almost like a thunderstorm that arises, or a tsunami or hurricane — you don’t know it’s going to happen and then it’s there.”

ing with Upper Darby’s first such incident. Fifteen arrests were made yesterday after more than 30 teens gathered through Facebook and text messages at 69th Street and stormed a Sears. Upper Darby police has various social media accounts, but does not have the resources to dedicate an officer or unit solely to monitoring these outlets. ALEXANDRA WIGGLESWORTH

Not a ‘flash mob’ A witness to Saturday night’s chaos on North Broad Street, who also videotaped a short portion of the mayhem that included a young woman’s leg being broken, said it shouldn’t be called a flash mob. “I think calling these kids a ‘flash mob’ is a disservice to flash mobs in general be-

cause flash mobs have been used very creatively by groups of people,” said Aine Doley, 34. “It was a cool performance art thing. But the kids, it’s terrible. What they’re doing with it and the fact that people have called them a ‘flash mob’ is bad for what flash mobs can be. I don’t know what they are, but people need to start cracking down on them.” METRO/AW

Dog park sits, demolition stays halted temporarily RIKARD LARMA/METRO

Neighbors and leaders behind new pedestrian bridge over RR tracks along Schuylkill will discuss solutions Sides meet tomorrow to hash out replacement park

It’s the dog days for the Schuylkill River Dog Dun.

The Schuylkill River Dog Run will remain open and 27 nearby trees are safe until at least Thursday when representatives of the city, Schuylkill River Development Corp. and dog park users will meet to discuss possible compromises during the construction of a court-mandated pedestrian bridge. An emergency hearing was scheduled for yesterday after Citizens for Saving Schuylkill River Park filed for a temporary injunction. The city and SRDC moved the case to

federal court, and the citizens group has 30 days to respond. Their attorney, Damon K. Roberts, hoped it won’t come to that. Discussions will center on finding space for a similarly sized dog run to the one being closed near 25th and Locust streets. About the temporary dog run being expanded from 12 to 40 percent of the current one’s size, resident Max Zahniser said, “That’s good progress. Keep going.” Neighbors think powerful people with a voice on the Friends of Schuylkill

River Park governed location selection. Sarah Stuart Clark of the river’s Park Alliance noted that information had been publicly shared often, and that it’s unfortunate concerns weren’t raised earlier in the process. “There’s been a lot of ‘we’ll listen to you’ and then they just move ahead saying ‘you’ll live with it,’” Zahniser said. “I’m hoping there will be dialogue and not more of the same.” BRIAN HICKEY

Overtime inspection pay spurs SEPTA drivers suit RIKARD LARMA/METRO

Group argues in class action they don’t get paid for required vehicle inspections SEPTA does not agree

$25B Top of wide range in estimated value of what is essentially a priceless collection

$150M Construction and related costs for the new building

Fifteen bus and trolley operators filed a class action civil lawsuit against SEPTA last week in federal District Court, claiming the agency violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by not paying workers for mandatory inspections. SEPTA operators are required by state and federal law to inspect their vehicles before they go into service, including things like checking brakes, lights, doors, horns, etc. For the last three years, operators have been conducting the 15-minute checks “off the clock,” the complaint alleges. The suit claims that in many cases

the inspections would put operators at more than 40 hours per week and require overtime pay. The suit seeks three years of compensation, interest and attorneys fees. A separate suit has been filed regarding second-half pretrip inspections. SEPTA claims there is no basis for the complaint. “The time required for the pre-trip inspection was negotiated in the contract and the operators are paid for that time,” spokeswoman Jerri Williams said. SOLOMON D. LEACH

All trolleys need to be inspected before each driver’s shift.

Bombers attack top hotel in Afghan capital Suicide bombers attacked a major hotel frequented by Westerners in Afghanistan’s capital late yesterday, with four blasts and bursts of gunfire heard after an attack claimed by the Taliban, police and Reuters witnesses said. There was no immediate information about the casualties. The attack at the Intercontinental Hotel, one of Kabul’s two main hotels, came the night before a conference about the gradual transition of civil and military responsibility from foreign forces to Afghans was about to begin. The hotel was not one of the venues to be used by the conference or its delegates, an Afghan gov-

The laboratory will remain closed today due to fire danger, lab spokesman Kevin Roark told Reuters. Fire officials said the socalled Las Conchas blaze had the potential to double or triple in size. Several towns are under mandatory evacuation, including the nearby city of Los Alamos, with a population of around 12,000. Los Alamos lab officials called in teams late Monday to monitor its air quality, including a broad spec-

trum of radiation, and have high-volume air samplers ready to deploy. Roark said that no lab facilities faced immediate threat and all radioactive and hazardous materials were accounted for and protected. The closest call was when Monday’s spot fire burned an area called TA 49, which has been headquarters of the lab’s bomb squad and training facilities for its hazardous materials response team. The fire was quickly put out. REUTERS

Pawlenty criticizes Obama Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty accused President Barack Obama yesterday of a timid and incoherent response to the “Arab Spring” uprisings against autocratic rulers across the Middle East and North Africa.

“From Morocco to the Arabian Gulf, the escape from the dead hand of oppression is now a real possibility. Now is not the time to retreat from freedom’s rise,” Pawlenty said in what was billed as a major foreign policy address.

The former Minnesota governor, seeking to gain ground in the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, said Obama had failed to carry out an “effective and coherent strategy” in response to the Arab Spring uprisings. REUTERS

Search leader tries one more time to get into the social network biz

The new Google Plus shares some features with Facebook.

Google, frustrated by a string of failed attempts to crack social networking, is taking another stab at fending off Facebook and other hot social sites with a new service called Google Plus. Google designed the service, unveiled yesterday, to tie together all of its online properties, laying the foundation for a fullfledged social network. It is the company’s biggest foray into social networking since co-founder Larry Page took over as chief executive in April. Page has made social networking a top priority at the world’s No. 1 Internet search engine, whose position as the main gate-

way to online information could be at risk as people spend more time on sites like Facebook and Twitter. To set its service apart from Facebook, which has more than 500 million users, Google is betting on what it says is a better approach to privacy, a hotbutton issue that has burned Facebook, as well as Google, in the past. Central to Google Plus are so-called “circles” of friends and acquaintances. Users can organize contacts into different customized circles — family members, co-workers, etc — and share photos, videos or other information only within those groups. REUTERS

Solutions that can help you get out of debt. Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $2,000 or more in total credit card debt and falling behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest charges altogether. Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can lower your monthly payments by hundreds and save you thousands!

example of raunchy comedy done well. What do you think makes it work?

I think one of the things that makes the movie work is that Cameron is so intrinsically likable and is known for having such a bright personality that there’s a lot of fun to be had in seeing her kind of off the rails with that character, so I think that’s part of what makes that work.

At no point do you actually think she’s a bad person. Was there any improvisation for your scenes with her?

There was quite a bit of adlibbing. I think part of our process in general is that a lot of the hard work is done in casting, and once you’ve hired people that you’re confident know their parts even better than you do as the writer or director, and so you trust in

Between TV, film and promotional duties, how hectic is your schedule these days? I was in Michigan a couple of hours ago filming and then flew into New York. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for about three hours and then back home. So pretty busy. Right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m filming a movie called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Five-Year Engagementâ&#x20AC;? that I wrote with my writing partner, Nick Stoller, which is another romantic comedy under the Judd umbrella.

No really, it’s exactly what meets the eye ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ corrects past mistakes and takes the audience on an epic, wild ride COURTESY OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is in theaters today.

The lesson of the success of “X-Men: First Class” and “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” might be that in order to get an audience interested, you can’t be afraid to rewrite history. As “X-Men” revamped the Cuban Missile Crisis to suit its needs, “Transformers” put a new spin on the space race of the 1960s, proposing that it was the crash of an Autobot spaceship on the moon that inspired the U.S. to develop its NASA program. From there we meet up with Sam Witwicky in modern times (Shia LaBeouf), who after getting an Ivy League education, has moved in with his new girlfriend Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). Megan Fox’s character is quickly dismissed in one line of dialogue. Witwicky’s new goal is to

land a job, which he does, working for a strange incarnation of John Malkovich as Bruce Brazos, the brassy executive for a government contractor. Witwicky gets drawn back into the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons by way of the new company and a nutty scientist played by alwayshilarious Ken Jeong. What follows is a pretty tight sequence of events with the exception of the battles, which can be tediously long. But Michael Bay has

heard your pleas, “Transformers” fans. When the robots clash, it’s much easier to understand the physics of what’s happening, even if at times, they all look like the innards of a garbage disposal making out with a can opener. While the plot doesn’t require much heavy lifting (and would you really expect it to?), the comic moments always come off as they’re intended to. Huntington-Whitely doesn’t bring much to the table, but then again, the female in distress hardly has to. Overall, this third edition makes for an improvement on the last’s failures.

Helping to shed the stigma of anxiety

Fitness

PIXLAND

It’s more common than you think ‘Any anxiety should be addressed and treated,’ expert says If you’re struggling, don’t be afraid to ask for help Sweating, shaking, palpitations, shortness of breath and even vomiting are common symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Yet, Manhattan-based psychologist and therapist Dr. Jeff Gardere says that anxiety itself isn’t the problem. “Anxiety is a natural part of life,” Dr. Gardere tells Metro. “The problem is when we are unable to pinpoint the causes and deal with that. When anxiety becomes so constant it starts to affect us physically, then we see real problems in our lives.” Those problems can include fatigue, high blood pressure, difficulty in concentrating, irritability or sleep and appetite disturbances. “People often hide their anxiety and don’t deal with

Cognitive behavior therapy helps people move past the mental attitude [that causes the anxiety] and flips the script to something that empowers you.” Some deep-rooted problems might not be immediately apparent, which is when long-term therapy is amazing boyfriend — and an anxiety disorder.

useful “to work through the underlying issues,” says Gardere. “Anything that promotes relaxation, such as deep breathing techniques and mental imagery, [is helpful],” he adds. The first thing that people suffering with anxiety should realize is that they are not alone — it’s something most people experience at some time in their life. For instance, Gardere recently went back to school and one class was so difficult for him that on several occasions he vomited beforehand. “If it happened to me, a shrink who treats people for this,” he laughs, “it can happen to anyone.” LINDA CLARKE

Pros, cons of gay marriage Here’s the reality of the vote that took place in New York state over marriage that most people in the more liberal side of the press have not talked about: Of 50 states, there are 41 that have laws on the books outlawing samesex marriage. The vote in New York is hardly a victory for that minority; it actually shows just how bizarre their position is. No law by any government will change our faith, no matter how much money is thrown at it or who votes what.

So New York’s Gov. Cuomo has signed into law the legalization of gay marriage. I agree with that, but call it a civil union, partnership, cohabitation, etc. — anything but “marriage.” It’s blasphemous, a gross distortion, sacrilegious and an affront to all who were brought up with the basic understanding that traditional marriage is a union between a man and a woman. And that is that! HERB STARK, VIA E-MAIL

State Sen. Ruben Diaz thinks doomsday is upon us all due to gays allowed legally to marry? He should consider that

doomsday more easily will be brought by nuclear weapons in Iran or Japan nuclear plants, or the rains in South Dakota or every imaginable natural or man-made disaster — virtually anything except two people who want to get married. The pursuit of happiness is a right, and all men and women are equal.

Associating with persons who have a purpose in life, not those who are merely drifting, will make you feel more secure about your affairs in general. Hang with those who are going places. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Use your mental prowess to meet and overcome any obstacles you encounter. Considerable personal satisfaction can be derived from untangling knotty situations. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. It normally isn’t too smart to offer unsolicited advice to others. Yet if you can clearly see the answer to a problem that another is encountering, speak up and offer what you can. Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Don’t let another hurry you into making purchase beyond your chosen pace of consideration. Be cautious, firm and patient in all of your commercial dealings, regardless of the urgency.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. A recreational break could provide a healthy valve for preventing tension buildup in your body and mind.

Several matters you’ve been trying to resolve can be concluded to your satisfaction if you simply deal with them one at a time. Aries March 21-April 19. There isn’t likely to be too much that will escape your attention. You’re curious, alert and receptive to life itself, and eager to both acquire and impart knowledge about most everything. Taurus April 20-May 20. Just in case you have to improvise while under fire, it will be important to keep your wits about you at all times concerning anything financial. Gemini May 21-June 20.

No return time yet for bearded Woods Unsure when he’ll be back on the Tour Spending his days rehabbing Says he won’t play in July’s British Open unless he has a chance to win RIKARD LARMA/METRO

While it’s not up to the level of Walt Frazier’s mutton chops, there might be a grand purpose behind Tiger Woods’ new look, according to one commentator. “There’s a theory out there that suggests that men who usually don’t wear beards grow them when they want to reflect an inner change on the outside,” Nicholas Carlson wrote on the Business Insider website. “Maybe the beard means Tiger has come to terms with himself and is ready to give young Rory McIlroy a run for his money.”

Woods seemed in a good mood when he addressed the press at Aronimink Golf Club yesterday.

Tiger Woods walked into Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square yesterday sporting a full-on beard and mustache. Either he forgot to shave, or he was sending a message: Even hurt, he’s still the man on the PGA Tour. Woods was at the course for the first day of the VIDEO: IS THERE A LIMP? METRO.US/GOLFBLOG

McIlroy, beardless

AT&T National, which benefits his foundation. Even before reporters had a chance to ask about his balky knee and ankle, the golfer opened by laughing and saying, “I’m feeling good; just had lunch.” No one asked what he ate. All the questions were about one thing: When is Woods returning? “There’s no timetable,” Woods said. “That’s hard for me. I’ve always been very goal-oriented about when I’m going to play, how I’m going to peak, how I’m going to get ready,

The Twitterverse certainly noticed Woods’ new look yesterday.

lead in the tournament. “That was seriously good playing,” Woods said. “That’s what’s fun, when you have a lead and keep building it.” Then Woods took it a step further, saying he agreed with Mark O’Meara.

leisurely putting, Woods hasn’t teed it up and hit it for real. Instead, he’s been rehabbing in the gym and watching cartoons with his kids. (For the record, he’s sick of the “Dora the Explorer” theme song.) If there was a goal, which Woods repeatedly said there is not, it would be the British Open in two weeks. But he won’t enter unless he’s 100 percent. “I won’t go over there to just show up,” Woods said. MIKE GREGER

Woods’ longtime friend commented that McIlory has a better swing than Woods did at the same age. “I felt like at the same age, yeah, his swing is definitely better than mine was,” Woods said. METRO/MG

Good day The U.S. women’s national soccer team opened the World Cup on the right foot, beating North Korea, 2-0. It took the Americans 54 minutes to break through, when Lauren Cheney beat DPRK keeper Hong Myong Hui.

Bad day Talk about a buzzkill. Just weeks after winning the Stanley Cup, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara will meet with Montreal police over his March 8 hit on Habs F Max Pacioretty. Authorities are deciding whether to press charges against the B’s D-man.

Flyers usher in new era, hand out Carter’s jersey Simmonds accepts No. 17 in introductory press conference Schenn gets Versteeg’s digits Both players hope to make impact on new team GETTY IMAGES

Not only is Jeff Carter gone, but so is his jersey. Newcomer Wayne Simmonds slipped on Carter’s old No. 17 following yesterday’s introductory press conference, which also included highly regarded center Brayden Schenn and winger Jakub Voracek. Schenn posed for the cameras wearing No. 10, which probably doesn’t bode well for Kris Versteeg. Voracek, who posted 14 goals and 32 assists last year for Columbus, played it safe with No. 9, which was last worn by David Laliberte back in 2009. Mike Richards’ No. 18 wisely remains vacant, which is one way of saying none of these guys will at-

tempt to fill the departed captain’s skates. “I don’t feel there’s any added pressure,” said Simmonds, described by GM

Paul Holmgren as a “rough and tumble” right wing. “I’m just gonna come in and play my game. Go up and down the wall and

take pucks to the net. That’s what I’m good at, and that’s what I’m gonna stick to.” And 19-year-old Schenn, despite rave reviews across the board, just wants to make the team out of training camp, and then see where that leads. “I feel ready,” said Schenn, who played in eight games for the Kings last year. “All the experience I’ve had helps. I’ll just try to make the most of it.” Regardless of the numbers on their backs, don’t expect any of them to try to replace Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. JON MARKS

Two passionate teams, two passionate fan bases Phillies, Red Sox fans travel to support clubs Both get cheered and booed at opposing stadiums Former Philly skipper blocks out noise GETTY IMAGES

It doesn’t seem that long ago that fans sporting Boston Red Sox jerseys rivaled Phillies followers at Citizens Bank Park. Nowadays, tickets at the Bank are almost as difficult to score as ducats at Fenway Park. Both yards are always sold out. Still, the Sox were represented by a healthy number of fans last night at the standing-room-only park in South Philly. It’s the same when the Phillies play in Boston. “When we’re there, we get good support from our fans,” Shane Victorino said. “You see them and you hear them, and that’s great. Our fans travel [well] and so do the Red Sox fans. All of that makes the games more fun.” Red Sox slugger David Ortiz agreed. “The mix of the fans makes it that much more interesting,” Ortiz said. “It adds a lot of energy to the ballpark. That electricity is a good thing. I’m used to it. You hear some funny things sometimes.” Like when Phillies fans started an “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant at Fenway months after the Patriots beat the

Madson hits DL The Phillies placed closer Ryan Madson on the 15-day disabled list yesterday with a bruised right hand. Antonio Bastardo and Jose Contreras will take turns in the ninth inning, according to Phils skipper Charlie Manuel. Madson (3-1, 2.03 ERA) had converted 15-of-16 save chances. METRO

The Phillies have sold out 167 consecutive games.

On TV today Red Sox at Phillies, 7:05 p.m. (CSN)

Eagles in the Super Bowl. Sox manager Terry Francona, who was also the Phillies skipper in the late ’90s, blocks out all of the noise and visuals. “I never hear any of it,” Francona said. “I know

each fan base well and the fans in Boston and Philadelphia are both very passionate. But I block all of that out once I get to the park. We all have a job to do and our job is on the field. It has nothing to do with what’s going on in the stands.” ED CONDRAN sports@metro.us
