Council to weigh curfew expansion Proposed restrictions would apply to entire city and become permanent Nutter’s office claim the crackdown is ‘changing behavior’ among youth

In the news

CITY HALL. City Council

voted Thursday to adopt a simpler redistricting map negotiated by Councilmen Jim Kenney and Frank DiCicco.

Councilmen Brian O’Neill and Jack Kelly were the only members to vote nay.

The agreement meant a mere one-day delay in Council members’ paychecks, as their charter dictates they could not be paid until the map was finished.

The plan would condense the 7th District.

It now goes to Mayor Michael Nutter’s desk for his signature.

Lewis off ballot again A federal opinion issued Thursday removed former Olympian Carl Lewis from the ballot for New Jersey state Senate. A threejudge appeals panel reaffirmed the district court order against Lewis that he does not meet the four-year residency requirement. METRO

District changes a done deal

Olugbala (right) said an expanded curfew could lead to an uprising by city youths.

Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown introduced a bill on behalf of Mayor Michael Nutter’s administration Thursday that would significantly tighten curfew laws.

“What we’re doing is changing behavior,” said Nutter spokesman Mark McDonald. “I think the hope is that parents are getting the message and taking more direct control of their children.”

The bill divides minors into three age groups, reduces times and makes them uniform across the entire week and the entire city. The curfew will be ex-

tended an extra hour in the summer and is intended to be permanent.

“Since there’s never enough money for afterschool programs for all students, we need to put other controls on them,” Reynolds Brown said.

The bill holds parents more accountable, increasing the violation fine and making those whose children commit criminal acts liable to the victim.

McDonald said that it could be passed in as few as two weeks, depending on how quickly Council schedules hearings. “Our wish is that they move

opposition, independent mayoral candidate Diop Olugbala compared the legislation to Mubarak’s rule in Egypt and likened the possible response to London’s youth riots.

“You can only push people so far before they start to push back,” said Olugbala, who noted that a protest is planned for Nov. 5. “This repression is breeding resistance and will breed increasing resistance, particularly among the youth being targeted.”

Former SRC head did not vote, but set up backroom meetings State lawmaker defends his “passion” Former School Reform Commission Chairman Robert Archie played the role of facilitator in state Rep. Dwight Evans’ efforts to steer the charter operator selection for Martin Luther King High School, according to a report released Thursday by the city’s chief integrity officer.

The fact-finding report was commissioned by Mayor Michael Nutter based on published reports that backroom politics caused Mosaica Turnaround Partners to back out of operating the school on March 17, the day after it was unanimously selected by the SRC. It concludes that

Evans, who represents part of Northwest Philadelphia near MLK, strongly pressured Philadelphia School District officials to select Foundations Inc. as the operator, with help from Archie.

Archie, who resigned this week, arranged private meetings between Evans and former Superintendent Arlene Ackerman and the SRC; but both rebuffed Evans’ requests, the report says.

Evans declined an interview for the report, but issued a statement Thursday saying, “In public and in private meetings, I made clear my intent to make Martin Luther King Jr. High School the best in the nation.”

Archie did not return calls for comment.

Opinion

TOM FOREMAN

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN

THE RISE OF THE ROBOTS I met the future a few days ago. He was in a lab at Virginia Tech, 18 inches tall, had a nice smile, and he beat me at soccer. He also never complains; works 24 hours a day; demands no retirement, health benefits or promotions; will never unionize; and doesn’t talk back. When a colleague knocked him down, he did not rush off to HR. He stood back up and returned to work.

A

nd we wonder why, in the midst of a staggering economy, businesses keep handing our jobs over to robots.

How many jobs? That’s a sticky question.

People in the robot business tell you that their mechanized minions are snapping up mainly the three D’s: jobs that are dull, dirty and dangerous.

Like working a factory production line, bomb disposal or public relations for the Salahis.

In the process, the Quoted robotophiles argue that newer, better jobs are being created.

One survey a few years back “Arguing pointed out that Japan has far against more robots at work than any automation other country, and their unemmakes you ... a ployment rate is well under 5 Take that, you greedy fuddy-duddy at percent. humans! best, a Luddite But other economic and tech analysts say, “Cool your at worst.” diodes. That’s just a Replicant FOREMAN talking point.” They insist that one of the key reasons we are having such a hard time recovering jobs is that so many businesses, eager to save money in these tough times, are automating every task they can. Mail handling, breadmaking, phone answering, traffic control, feeding the dog, spaying the cat: “Hey, we’ve got an app for that!”

So where is Washington in all this? President Obama is strongly pro-robot. Earlier this year he went to Carnegie Mellon to talk up the idea that advanced robots, even if they take jobs in the short term, can make us more globally competitive and create much more work for humans in the long run. It’s a hard case for even his foes in Congress to counter. Arguing against automation makes you look like a fuddy-duddy at best, a Luddite at worst.

But I don’t know. As I watched my little soccer playing pal at that university lab, I kept thinking, is there anything these things can’t do? And what will be left for us? Because it looks like he’s not only ready to take over my Monday through Friday chores, but maybe my weekends, too.

More social problems for heavier children Study shows weight can play a role in kids’ relationships with peers Social, emotional problems cited Wakeup call for health providers

Children who are heavier than their peers at ages 4 and 5 are more likely to struggle in their relationships with other kids several years later, an Australian study suggests.

After following more than 3,300 children for about four years, researchers found that the heavy kids were up to 20 percent more likely at age 8 or 9 to be described by their parents as having social difficulties and by teachers as having emotional problems.

“It’s interesting that we’re seeing these problems at an early age,” said Christina Calamaro, a pro-

fessor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, who did not participate in the research.

“I think this speaks to the fact that health care providers need to take weight into consideration

at an earlier age, so we can cut it off at the pass before they hit middle school,” she told Reuters Health.

The researchers surveyed the parents and teachers of 3,363 Australian children participating in a large national health study.

The interviews were conducted first when the kids were 4 or 5, and again four years later.

The questions involved measures of children’s mental and behavioral health, such as emotional problems, hyperactivity and social skills.

Children also had their weight and height checked at each age. REUTERS

Irene. Water damage

Watch for pieces of satellite CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. A defunct NASA satellite the size of a bus that is expected to fall to Earth Friday will likely miss North America, NASA said.

The agency’s 13,000pound Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, has been slowly tumbling from orbit since its mission ended in 2005.

It is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and break apart Friday.

Most of the debris will incinerate as it plows through the air, but about 26 pieces, weighing a total of about 1,100 pounds, are expected to survive the fall and land somewhere on Earth. REUTERS

Holocaust, 9/11 in doubt for Iran head Ahmadinejad caused UN walkout after using speech to criticize history Anti-Semitic, US spokesman says GETTY IMAGES

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacked Western powers on Thursday for a catalog of misdeeds, but his address to the United Nations failed to mention Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

The U.S. delegation walked out when Ahmadinejad said “arrogant powers” threatened anyone who questioned the Holocaust and the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States with sanctions and military action. Other Western delegations soon made their exit.

Ahmadinejad made only a passing reference to the Palestinian issue which has

States of using the “mysterious” 9/11 attacks as a pretext to launch wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States and its allies “view Zionism as a sacred notion and ideology,” the Iranian leader said.

Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the U.S. mission at the United Nations, condemned Ahmadinejad’s remarks.

“Mr. Ahmadinejad had a chance to address his own people’s aspirations for freedom and dignity, but instead he again turned to abhorrent anti-Semitic slurs and despicable conspiracy theories,” Kornblau said in a statement. REUTERS PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

WWW.METRO.US/ TV

TOP 5 MUST-SEE NEW SERIES FALL TV GUIDE

‘2 Broke Girls’

‘New Girl’

Premise: Working gal (Kat Dennings) meets fallen socialite (Beth Behrs) in hipsterville, Brooklyn. Two girls from completely different economic and social worlds join forces to open a cupcake shop — one day, if they can save enough money from their current waitressing gig.

Premise: A socially awkward girl (Zooey Deschanel) who just got dumped moves in with three guys for a fresh start.

Why we’re watching: This totally enjoyable odd couple trades more hilariously crude one-liners than we would have ever expected on CBS. As hardscrabble Max, Dennings in particular is fiercely funny — especially when she’s chewing out the fauxhemian types who are becoming her beloved greasy spoon’s new clientele.

Why we’re watching: As Jess, Deschanel embodies the everywoman — well, minus those adorable saucer eyes, killer bangs and gorgeous voice, maybe. She admits she’s “not good at hiding her crazy” — she makes up songs on the spot and sings them out loud, often — and sees the good in most everything. We can’t help but root for her and this quirky-smart sitcom.

(Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox)

(Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on CBS)

‘Person of Interest’ Premise: A mysterious

billionaire (Michael Emerson) has built a machine that, using surveillance technology, can predict crimes before they happen. He enlists an exCIA agent (Jim Caviezel) to help him enact vigilante justice.

Why we’re watching:

When executive producer J.J. Abrams does mystery and paranoia, we pay attention. Not that we always know what’s going on, mind you, but this commentary on Big Brother’s watchful eye has us intrigued. Plus, we want to find out if Caviezel can take down a man by simply throwing him one of those intense death stares.

Scene-stealer: Lana Parrilla, ‘Once Upon a Time’

Ups and downs

ABC/KHAREN HILL

In present-day Storybrooke, Maine, the fairy tale characters we know and love — Snow White, Prince Charming and even Jiminy Cricket — have been trapped without their happy endings, perpetually stuck in time via a curse.

Lana Parrilla gets to play the baddie who put them there.

“I’m having a blast,” says the actress, who plays the Evil Queen with deliciously cruel flair.

But the residents of Storybrooke — including, seemingly, the queen — are unaware of their true identities. In this realworld parallel to the lost fairy-tale realm, Parrilla plays the mayor, Regina, who isn’t much kinder than her alter ego.

‘Revenge’ As the ladies of Wisteria Lane prepare to move on when “Desperate Housewives” signs off this season, you’re going to need a new bitchy, backstabbing drama to fill the void. Set in the Hamptons and citing “The Count of Monte Cristo” as inspiration, “Revenge” stars Emily VanCamp as a mysterious woman who moves to the tony community, plotting vengeance on those who destroyed her family 17 years ago.

The series takes full advantage of his metaphor — “Pan Am,” which takes place in 1963, not only taps into the nostalgia of the industry with gorgeous costuming and set design and stories uninhibited by TSA regulations, but it also delves into the burgeoning cultural revolution of the era.

“For the stewardesses, there was this sense of excitement and freedom,” says star Christina Ricci, whose bohemian character takes the gig as an opportunity to explore the world. “The job allowed these women to have a freedom that they weren’t really given in a regular sort of role in life at that time,” she explains. “Yes, they did have to pass

The Pan Am stewardess The opportunities afforded a Pan Am stewardess were rare for the 1960s, but not without old-fashioned contradictions.

“It was a coveted position at the time for young women,” says series creator Jack Orman.

“They needed to be college educated. They needed to speak several

languages. They were really pioneers in a lot of ways. So the idea that they have to be subjected to girdle checks and weigh-ins, I think adds a certain realism — but also an interesting, dramatic twist to the show.”

Jacob loses out again ‘Abduction’ Director: John Singleton Cast: Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins Rating: PG-13 Grade: –—˜™š

“Abduction� is supposed to offer a breakout role for “Twilight� third wheel, Taylor Lautner. It was his chance to prove he’s not only an actor who can headline a film, but also an action star.

Unfortunately, he picked a project that is poorly written, lazily executed and often unintentionally funny.

Lautner is a high school student whose work on a class project about missing persons leads him to a website featuring a photo of a familiar face: his own.

Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins are on the run!

Soon, a chain of events unfolds that leaves him and the girl next door (Lily Collins) on the run.

In theory, “Abduction� should be a terse thriller — an adolescent “Bourne Identity� — but instead, it’s a teen angst film, which honestly may be what they were going for. But any concerns about the quality of the movie certainly won’t stop rabid “Twilight� fans from showing up. JOEL AMOS

FRED BEANS REPEATS HISTORIC USED CAR SALE Limerick, PA – Fred Beans, CEO and Founder of the Fred Beans Family of Dealerships located in Limerick PA, has announced a ONE DAY SALE on Saturday, September 24th at 9:30 AM, where pre-owned vehicles will be sold for as low as $999. This sale is being held due to overwhelming public demand.

Cars will be clearly marked, so come early for the best selection. This is a ONE DAY ONLY sale designed to get the local community driving again.

Fred Beans’ pre-owned inventory levels need to be reduced to make room for shipments of new models arriving daily. As a result, all 3 Fred Beans Limerick locations are selling these overstocked pre-owned vehicles to the public at drastic discounts in an attempt to clear excess inventory.

In addition to this huge va-

riety of pre-owned vehicles, the Fred Beans Family of Dealerships in Limerick features new Chevrolet, Nissan and Kia vehicles.

Fred Beans believes reviving the economy starts at home, and changing things locally will lead to changing things nationally.

In addition to the Fred Beans Family of Dealerships’ extra inventory, additional vehicles have been acquired at incredible prices from various banks, repossession companies, auto auctions, credit unions, lease companies, and rental companies for this sale.

The sale will make pre-owned vehicles available for as low as $999, prices not normally offered to the general public. According to Fred Beans, “We want to give our customers a reason to believe in the local economy again. Someone has to look out for their best interests.�

Customers are encouraged to arrive as early as 9:00AM to inspect the entire inventory and ďŹ nd the car that is right for them. Every vehicle will be cleaned, detailed, and fully prepared for instant delivery.

On the evening of September 23rd after close of business, Mr. Beans and his team will mark the special sale price on each and every vehicle.

Because Fred Beans’ customers are feeling the credit crunch right now, the Fred Beans Automotive Group has given the dealerships’ ďŹ nancing managers the resources necessary to get most customers’ credit approved on the spot.

The Fred Beans Family of Dealerships has $10,000,000 in lending power, the result of over 50 years of strong relationships with the area’s leading lenders. This means that customers with “less than perfect� credit history can have their credit approved and drive a quality pre-owned car, truck, or SUV home by lunchtime on Saturday.

Even if a customer’s credit report shows a bankruptcy, divorce, tax lien, slow payment history, missed payment, or repossession, or if a customer is a ďŹ rst time buyer, Fred Beans may get them approved.

This special ONE DAY ONLY sale will be held at all 3 Fred Beans Limerick locations this Saturday, September 24th, at 9:30AM. Pre-owned vehicles will be sold for as low as $999. Customers are encour-

aged to arrive as early as 9:00AM for the start of inspection. Incredible sale prices, starting as low as $999, will be posted no later than 9:30AM. All vehicles will be sold on a ďŹ rst come, ďŹ rst serve basis. The Fred Beans Family of Dealerships is expecting a high volume of customers for this sale, so be sure to reserve your spot early.

Customers wishing to trade in a vehicle are asked to bring their title or payment book for immediate delivery. Fred Beans will even pay off your trade-in in full, no matter how much you still owe on it.

Most of these surplus preowned vehicles will get sent directly to auto auctions for liquidation. So, if anyone has been thinking about purchasing a good, clean, dependable pre-owned car, truck, van or sport utility vehicle, do not miss this special ONE DAY ONLY sale.

Synopsis

Director: Bennett Miller Cast: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill Rating: PG-13 Grade:

The synopsis sounds very dry, but so did “The Social Network” before you actually sat down and watched it.

“Moneyball” took what could be the dry subject of baseball stats and spices it up with complex characters and a compelling story while leaving sports movie cliches behind.

The movie moves at about half the speed of “The Social Network” but that’s OK — we’re not dealing with the fast-moving world of cyberspace here but the more relaxed pace of America’s favorite pastime. It’s a slow build, but the seventh

Based on Michael Lewis’ book, “Moneyball” is about Billy Beane (Pitt), real-life general manager of the Oakland A’s.

places the onus on the characters and not the technology that drives the story.

We’ve seen baseball movies before, but never from this angle.

Faced with having to piece together a pro team with a budget a fourth the size as the New York Yankees, he breaks with years of baseball tradition—using scouts, instinct and guts— to find a scientific method to build a team on the cheap instead. With a Yaletrained economist (Jonah Hill) he creates sabermetrics, a mind-boggling combination of facts, figures and computer algorithms to recruit his team.

‘Hey, I’m Jonah. I’m in this movie. I’d like to do more of this and I hope you accept me.’

Jonah Hill was in heavier times on the set of “Moneyball.”

Hill talks about his dramatic turn in ‘Moneyball’ — and his dramatic weight loss He regrets that the second story is not that interesting Jonah Hill is understandably a little hoarse when we meet up with him at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. The night before, he had been partying with the staff of the Harvard Lampoon. “Oh my gosh, one of the best nights of my entire life,” he says. “It was very inspirational, because a lot of the great comedy writers of our time and before passed through there and were a part of that organization.”

These days, Hill is thriving. The recently slimmed-down actor is starring in his first dramatic role, playing opposite Brad Pitt in the film adaptation of Michael Lewis’

2003 book, “Moneyball.”

I know you must be sick of talking about your weight, but could you give me a Cliffnote’s version?

I completely understand people’s interest in it. I went to a nutritionist. I wanted to be healthier. It’s really as simple as that. It’s not that talking about it bothers me; it’s just how uninteresting my answers are. I wish I had something more interesting to say.

At what point did you know you wanted to try a drama?

I feel very similar right now at this moment in my career to how I did when “Superbad” was coming out,

Q&A At the Video Music Awards late last month, you made a crack that “people keep saying, ‘Now that you’ve lost weight, you’re probably not funny anymore.’” Then you go and do a dramatic film!

I just like all kinds of movies.

To me it’s about making good movies. I’m lucky enough to spend my life doing this, and I’d like to do it when I’m an old man. I’d like to have a few DVDs — or whatever space technology they have — to show to my grandkids and go, “This is what I spent my life doing.”

I’m in this movie. I’d like to do more of this and I hope you accept me.” I got really lucky and it was really popular. ... So now I feel the same way because I’m re-introducing myself by saying “Hey, I’m Jonah and I’m in this different kind of movie that you’re definitely not used to seeing me in, a different kind of performance.

And I’d like to do more of this and I hope you accept me.” So it’s a very surreal, dreamlike experience.

AARON IGLER

Changing with the ‘Seasons’ Philly folk singer Meg Baird has a new solo album of original material ‘I’m not hiding it anymore,’ she says

Meg Baird knows how to spend a snow day.

In the early 20th century, Isaac Garfield Greer was one of the leading performers and researchers of American folk music. Today, many of his recordings are meticulously archived at the Smithsonian.

His great-greatgranddaughter is Meg Baird, co-founder of Espers — the little Philly indie

band with quite a big national following. Underneath Espers’ British-infused psychedelic soundscapes, there is the unmistakable influence of I.G. Greer and the American folk tradition.

And with Espers currently on hiatus, that tradition is rising to the surface of Meg Baird’s music. Her first solo album, “Dear Companion,” almost entirely featured traditional folk music.

Her latest, “Seasons on Earth,” was officially released this week. The new tracks are still influenced by the strictures of traditional folk melodies, but this time nearly all of them are Baird originals. “I don’t know if I would say I’m more confident as a songwriter,” she explains while on break from her day job at the Wagner Free Institute of Science. “Just maybe willing to be more exposed about it.

I’m not hiding it anymore.”

Baird moved to Philly over a decade ago after studying English literature

If you go On Saturday, Glenn Jones — a leading ambassador of the traditional acoustic steel guitar — will open for Baird at Johnny Brenda’s, followed by Baird’s punk-ish, raucous side project, Watery Love.

Saturday, 9:15 p.m.

Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave. $10, 215-739-9684 www.megbaird.com

at Rutgers University. The passionate tones of Byron, Shelley and Keats can also certainly be found in Baird’s romantic lyrics.

“I don’t really have an academic kind of mind or approach, I don’t think,” she says. “But it does get stuck in there after four years of study. It’s under your skin somewhere.”

A van full of ‘Freaks In Love’

Screening at Philly F/M, the Alice Donut doc’s name says it all Other festival highlights After 25 years as a band, there was nothing that the members of Alice Donut could say about the experience that could surprise each other.

“We spent so much time in the van together that eventually the only thing that changed was descriptions of our bowel movements and dreams,” says drummer Stephen Moses.

“That’s basically it.”

For fans and the uninitiated, “Freaks In Love” relates the band’s history through interviews and a wealth of archival concert footage dating back to their early days at legendary CBGBs. Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra and the Meat Puppets’ Curt Kirk-

wood chime in with praise, while the filmmakers try to put the Donuts’ fiercely independent, eccentric path through the punk world in broader perspective.

“I don’t know if our experience had anything at all to do with the history of the underground independent scene at that time,” shrugs guitarist Michael Jung. “But the film gives a larger picture of the music industry while we were doing the daily grind.”

“Freaks In Love” will screen on Saturday night at Invincible Pictures as part of the second Philly F/M Festival — a citywide music and film fest running through Sunday — and will be followed by an increas-

Here we are now: ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ turns 20 Where were you when you first heard Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic radically transform popular music? That’s what we asked these artists

I

n a few months, the baby on the cover or Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album will be old enough to drink. Although two decades have passed since it came out, no single album has shaken up the music industry and popular culture since. On Tuesday, Universal Music Enterprises is releasing 20th anniversary reissues, such as a special 4CD/1-DVD edition. Here we look back with some of the people who were close to the epicenter of the alternanation revolution — and those on the outskirts with curious reactions.

“I had an advanced cassette of the album. I didn’t think that was the big song. I remember that. I remember thinking ‘Drain You’ or ‘On a Plain’ or something were the songs that were going to be big hits. And neither of those ended up being the single. … I probably didn’t know that there was going to be a changing of the guard in that album.”

— Stephen Malkmus “What I remember is, the first time I saw them play it live, which was this show at Jabberjaw, which was a tiny place.

They weren’t a big band yet, but even for them, it was a tiny place to be playing in L.A. I just remember the reaction was insane. … I was on the inside, so I didn’t get to experience it publicly. I was trying to get people to experience it publicly.” — Mark Kates, founder of Fenway

think generally I felt distant from that kind of rock ’n’ roll. I was not cool, and I was probably listening to mid-‘90s Michael Jackson and the oldies radio station instead of Nirvana.”

— tUnE-yArDs singer Merril Garbus

“I remember feeling really relieved that music had that energy. Music had become so stilted.

Then Nirvana emerged with this wild energy that was exhilarating.”

“I loved them. I think they were just a great rock band. They had all the sort of great elements that a rock band has. They had that rebellious stance and a clandestine appeal. They were greatlooking and rough and messy.

And great songs. The whole package was there.” — Blondie singer Debbie Harry

“My oldest brother and his friends would always watch MTV, and be hanging out. I remember walking in the room one day and they were all really excited about it, and I didn’t really know what it was, but they turned up the TV, and everybody got quiet, and watched it. … I didn’t know quite what to think of it, actually.”

It was that memorable of an experience to hear it for the first time.” — Jonah Hill “I was watching MTV in Mexico City and I thought, ‘That sounded unlike anything I had heard.’ Because it was incredibly free and grungy, of course, but it was really sort of emotionally shattering.” — Director Guillermo del Toro With additional reporting

“GA. EXECUTES TROY DAVIS AMID PROTESTS”, CBSNEWS, SEPT. 22. This week, Ameri-

ca executed a man it couldn’t be sure was guilty.

Overzealous prosecutors, uncaring jurists and an imperfect legal system combined to sign the death warrant on Troy Davis’ life.

Having spent nearly two decades in prison based on suspect testimony and no physical evidence, perhaps he welcomed the end. We can never know now — we can’t un-kill Mr. Davis. And if it is indeed true that an innocent man has been killed, that also means a guilty murderer walks free.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. If you know you don’t have all the facts at hand, don’t try to call the shots. Taking a speculative risk on something or someone can lead to big trouble.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. When that common sense of yours is telling you to disengage yourself from something questionable, don’t ignore it. Remember, your better judgment is based on past experience.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. If you find yourself being disenchanted with the small stuff, it generally means your expectations are a bit too grand for your own good. Focus on quality, not size.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Although your judgment appears to be pretty good in most situations, don’t let that fool you. It could be a completely different story when it comes to money.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Your charm, wit and good looks are all valuable assets, but they will only carry you so far. It will take a whole lot of dedicated effort and experience to achieve success.

Taurus April 20-May 20. If you want to be successful, it will be up to you to direct your own affairs. Do not leave even minor matters to chance, because the slightest occurrence can throw things off course.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Someone who is overwhelmed might need your help, but do only what she or he wants and no more. You could unwittingly upset something the person already has going if you overstep your bounds.

Cancer June 21-July 22. Upsetting information that you get from someone you don’t know all that well shouldn’t be taken too seriously without first checking things out.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Certain advice you offer a friend will be sound and helpful, yet when it comes to your own affairs you might ignore the same good common sense.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Make sure your judgment calls are all based on reality and not on wishful thinking.

If you allow nonexistent factors to influence you, you’ll quickly meet your downfall. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Talkin’ bout practice RIKARD LARMA/METRO

Vick returns to field, avoids media Teammates say he looks fine Coaches still won’t name starter for Sunday’s game QB to wear Kevlar-padded helmet Mike Vick often refers to himself as Superman.

So, was there really ever any doubt about him returning to the field this week against the Giants, just one week after sustaining a slight concussion?

Vick was a full participant in Thursday’s practice, as he threw passes to assistant coaches and jogged around with teammates.

The Eagles announced that Vick was evaluated and cleared by an independent neurosurgeon, allowing him to return to football activities. However, coach Andy Reid wouldn’t say whether Vick will start Sunday’s game.

Vick didn’t meet with the media and headed right for the trainer’s room following practice. His teammates said the quarterback looked fine.

“He made all of the right throws and he looked like himself," receiver Jere-

Vick was a full participant at Thursday’s practice and seems likely to start Sunday afternoon against the Giants.

@MIKE_GREGER FOR AN UP-TO-DATE EAGLES/NFL FEED

Head case Vick is expected to wear a Kevlar-padded helmet, if he plays Sunday, according to an ESPN report.

Concussion proof?

Unequaled Technologies said Vick was refitting his helmet with Kevlar padding to help deal with post-concussive blows to the head, according to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio.

Part of the deal Vick, a spokesman for Unequaled Technologies, wore a Kevlar vest that the company designed for him last year when he suffered a rib injury.

my Maclin said. “I think he’s in good shape.”

“Mike Vick is Mike Vick.

We’re happy he’s back,” said running back LeSean McCoy. Before practice, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg told reporters that Vick had been in “mostly every meeting” this week and told the coaching staff that he wants to play.

“He has a great mentality, he looks great so we’ll see,” Mornhinweg said.

“Like you said, it’s not quite all in his hands, so we’ll see.”

BIG RED LIGHT FOR GREENE The best way to evaluate talent is with our own two eyes. See a guy that looks like a freak of nature? He’s probably going to help your fantasy team.

T

hat’s how we find guys like Kenny Britt, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Hernandez. And that’s how we can identify guys that won’t help us.

If a player isn’t a special talent, it will eventually catch up with him in terms of role, production or both.

Shonn Greene’s breakout was going to happen last year. Nope. It was surely going to be this year, right? Wrong again.

Greene is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry even though teams aren’t stacking the box. He doesn’t play on passing downs, is a poor receiver out of the backfield and isn’t showing any burst. With the

Jets’ offensive line already underperforming and getting ready to play without C Nick Mangold (ankle), it won’t get any better.

Roll up the Blount LeGarrette Blount is a lot like Greene. He’s not that athletic, so he struggles as a receiver and in space.

When the Bucs are behind, Earnest Graham is usually their primary back. Now is a perfect time to sell Blount, who scored two touchdowns in Week 2.

Pushed up Hillis The most appealing part of Peyton Hillis’s fantasy game are his monster workloads. It’s also a curse.

By touching the ball 25 to 30 times a game, he gets worn down. Hillis is getting just 3.4 YPC this year after sinking to 3.9 over the final eight games of last year. And now his coach is saying that he wants to get Montario Hardesty more involved.

Philadelphia hoops pride on line GETTY IMAGES

The NBA lockout won’t stop some of the game’s brightest stars from descending upon the Palestra on Sunday for “The Battle of I-95.”

The game, a matchup between Team Philly and Team Melo, will tip off at 6 p.m. and be streamed live on SI.com. The headliners for Team Melo include LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul. Team Philly includes Hakim Warrick, Tyreke Evans, Kyle Lowry,

John Salmons, Lou Williams and Jason Thompson.

Former Sixer Allen Iverson will not play, as previously rumored.

“My Philadelphia All-Stars look forward to getting on the court and proving to Melo and the people of Baltimore/D.C. that the best ballers come out of Philly,” Warrick said.

“Melo told me he was bring-

ing

a squad that can’t be beat, so I have a few all-star surprises for him when my team takes the court on Sept. 25.”

Team Philly is undoubtedly the underdog against a team with arguably four of the top 10 players in the world (LeBron, Melo, KD and CP3), but with Philadelphia pride on the line a

fierce, entertaining battle is expected in what will be a historic night.

“A lot of people are going to come there just because they’re fans of certain players,” Thompson said. “Once the game gets going, guys are going to be going at each other. That’s what makes the game exciting.

You never know what’s going to happen.”

Phillies looking for some momentum If the Phillies are going to surpass that franchiserecord 101 win total, they’ll need to get four more victories by next Wednesday (Sept. 28).

Entering Thursday night’s game, the club was riding a season-high, fivegame losing streak and stuck on 98 wins. Skipper Charlie Manuel is walking a fine between resting players and closing out the regular season.

“We definitely need to have our team ready and I plan on our team being ready,” Manuel said.

The Phillies, of course, are chasing history as they try to match or top the franchise record of 101

On TV Friday Phillies at N.Y. Mets, 7:10 p.m. (PHL17)

On TV Saturday Phillies at N.Y. Mets, 1:10 p.m. (CSN)

METRO POLL Do you think the Phillies will break the franchise record for wins this season?

A: YES B: NO

wins, which was set by the 1976 team and then matched in 1977. (For the

Noticeboard

record, neither of those teams won the World Series: the 1976 squad was swept in the NLCS and the ’77 club lost the NLCS to L.A. in four games.)

One way that Manuel intends on doing this is by keeping his starting rotation on schedule. Cole Hamels will get the start Friday night, with Roy Halladay going Sunday and then Cliff Lee on Monday.

Kyle Kendrick looks to get the spot start on Saturday.

“We haven’t been playing well and we need to figure it out and turn things around,” Lee said.

“Who knows? Every day’s a new day.”
