Running back LeSean McCoy had a lot to dance about, including a second-quarter touchdown.

Birds getting their swagger back After four weeks of poor performances and excruciating turnovers, the Eagles took their first steps down a long road to redemption by beating the Redskins, 20-13. The team rode LeSean McCoy into the bye week on a high note and won the turnover battle against one of the league’s worst quarterbacks, Rex Grossman.

Occupy Philly: Mix of politics, pleasure Building message is important, protesters say, but so is enjoying time during downtime Those at Dilworth Plaza ‘politically partying at times’ PAIGE OZAROSKI/METRO

Driving with dead woman A man who drove around Saturday with a dead woman in his car turned himself in to police. After allegedly accidentally shooting the woman Saturday, Charles Deloatche, 23, drove around the City Line area with Camilla Stephenson’s body in the passenger seat.

“It’s a political movement, but it’s a permanent community, too. It’s social politics, just like at party conventions. It’s about politics but kind of like a spirit week, too.

As Occupy Philly enters its third calendar week, the movement is still deciding on a unified political message and, at times, lapsing into party mode. “To me, it’s more of a social gathering or network,” said Chazz Colon, 48, of North Philadelphia, who has been outside City Hall daily. “Nothing indicates change — we still have the same problems. We’re still trying to be heard. I care about local issues — how

change the status quo, you have to celebrate while you’re doing it,” said an occupier who came down from the Wall Street protests eight days ago. “Revolutions have to be celebratory. They can’t solve things with simple anger.” “We’ve been politically partying at times. It depends on who you talk to because people from all walks of life are here,” said teen activist Sally Sue. “It was amazing, on Sat-

The city-funded shelter will be the first to offer comprehensive health services specifically for the transgender community. The home’s proposed site has not been publicly announced, but Ali assures that the home is a quicklydawning eventuality. “We are hoping to get the doors opened in November,� she said. “Everyone deserves access to services and a place to go.�

Can’t we all just ride along same lanes?

PAIGE OZAROSKI/METRO

Philly introduces new type of lane-sharing system on some Center City streets ‘Sharrows’ designate where cyclists, motorists must share road There’s now one more reason for motorists and cyclists in Center City to share the road peacefully: new sharrow lanes. A sharrow is a shared lane marking for bikes and automobiles. It looks like a bike lane symbol with two arrows above it — a concept used on streets that are too narrow or too congested for dedicated bike lanes. The tool has been used in cities such as San Francisco, Portland and New York City, and one was recently installed on South 15th Street between Penn Square and Washington Avenue. City transportation offi-

How’s ride in bike lanes? Stober said officials are still studying the effects of pilot bike lanes on 10th and 13th streets in Center City before issuing a final report. The lanes could become the first northsouth paths dedicated strictly to cyclists. They will be extended north to Spring Garden Street next month, Stober said, following the completion of road work by PennDOT. METRO/SDL

cials said others have been installed or will soon pop up on Christian Street in South Philadelphia and Main Street in Manayunk. It is part of the city’s plan to extend the bike network to cover 300 miles. “The purpose of those is to direct cyclists to just use that one lane and to alert motorists that they should expect to see cyclists in that lane,” said Andrew Stober, from the city’s Office of Transportation. The sharrows are on the left side of the street, typically four feet from parked cars to maximize visibility for drivers and cyclists.

“I’m very happy that the city is willing to ... try and make bicycling better in the city. I think that there are obvious limits to what a treatment like that does, but it’s a step in the right direction.” ALEX DOTY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF BICYCLE COALITION OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA

The global “Day of Rage” against the world’s financial system won some limited sympathy from political and economic leaders yesterday after protests that were peaceful everywhere but Italy. Cities from east Asia to Europe and North America saw rallies on Saturday denouncing capitalism, inequality and economic crisis, but riot police were busy only in Rome. The city cleared up yesterday, a day after masked “Black Bloc” protesters torched cars, attacked banks and hurled rocks. “They must be condemned by everyone without reservation,” Prime

Minister Silvio Berlusconi said. Yet many Italians asked why police had managed to arrest only 12 of the violent demonstrators. Lisbon and Madrid also saw tens of thousands march on Saturday. Spanish outrage has been fueled by multi-million-euro payouts for top staff at failed regional banks. Other cities across the United States and Canada saw modestly sized and peaceful demonstrations and protesters gathered in their hundreds in Japan and across Southeast Asia. “One word: accountability,” Professor Hayat Alvi of the United States Naval War Collegen said.

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip

This weekend’s celebrity movers and shakers In today’s column, we’ll look at the celebrities moving toward one another, those moving farther apart and one who found his way out of the closet over the weekend. On the up and up? Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lopez. (Maybe!) The actor stepped out recently with a woman who looked a lot like the “American Idol” judge, though she was going to great lengths to shield herself from photographers, according to Us Weekly. A source close to the singer says it was in fact Lopez meeting up with the “Hangover” star, getting together again after having dinner last month. “After their date in New York, Bradley and Jennifer stayed in touch,” the source says. “She does like his attention, and it makes her feel good that he seems so into her. She has a fun time with Bradley and he makes her laugh.”

Jennifer Lopez and Bradley Cooper chatted last year at the Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2011 show during Fashion Week. Were there sparks back then?

In a New York interview, the “Star Trek” actor chatted about his role in the offBroadway production of “Angels in America,” saying, “As a gay man, it made me feel like there’s still so much work to be done, and there’s still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed.” And that, actors, is a great way to come out.

Though Simon Le Bon once sang that “wild boys never lose it,” the Duran Duran singer experienced a huge physical setback when he blew out his voice during a concert earlier this summer. “I really did lose my top range — a whole octave of my range — for about two months,” he says. “The doctors were never able to give me a definitive diagnosis of what had occurred.” Le Bon went on vocal rest and his bandmates and he rejiggered their set, so that when the singer was ready to sing again, the songs would ramp up from their

mellower material into the frenetic songs they have always been known for. “After seven shows I’m starting to feel like I’m getting back to invincible again,” says the 52-year-old singer. Although there is an air of humor in this statement, there is also an air of truth. For a band whose sound so defined the 1980s, Duran Duran somehow escape being defined by that decade. For their most recent offering, last year’s “All You Need is Now,” they worked with producer Mark Ronson and achieved a sound that hon-

ors their legacy, while showing a keen awareness of where music is today. “I think we’re very lucky, in that we’ve had numerous hits, from the early stuff — I guess, ‘Hungry Like the Wolf’ was the first big hit and ‘Is There Something I Should Know,’ ‘Rio,’ ‘The Reflex,’ — we’ve got lots of songs that really have had huge success here, and

when you have so many of them, it’s difficult for any one song to enslave you,” he says. “We could very easily go out and play a greatest hits show, but we’re very conscious of the fact that to keep our excitement alive in the band, we need to make new albums, we need to make new songs and we need to play them to people.”

Le Bon says that Duran Duran has got their setlists down to a science, as far as what old hits and new numbers they play. “We don’t need to play as much as half the number of these songs, but not as little as a quarter,” he says. “There really is a balance that seems obvious when you’re playing a show. If you put four new songs together, then the audience gets twitchy. They want something they can dance to, and they know the words to, something they can sing along to, something they know can give them the feeling that they want.” PAT HEALY

‘In the Dark’ by Dev The coolest thing about this song, currently No. 1 on the Billboard dance chart, is probably how the main riff — almost always done by some synth-y sounding instrument in club music — actually sounds like a saxophone. It

probably isn’t an actual sax, but it is a spicy sound to hear that’s unexpected. Credit for that goes to producers, the Cataracs. You’ll recognize Dev’s voice from “Like a G6” by the Far East Movement from last year. In this song, she sings about dancing in the dark and

letting her hands do what they want, but the line you’ll be singing the next morning a little too loudly is, “I’ve got a sex drive. Push to start,” especially if you do have one of those newish cars that doesn’t need a key to get it going. Regardless, this song is the key to get your night going.

Green up the office

You recycle at home, so what’s the deal with tossing that giant stack of paper on the copier tray in the trash? How you can leave a softer environmental footprint at the office

A

t home, most of us wouldn’t think about leaving the air-conditioner on full blast while leaving town for a couple days. Or tossing a luncheon’s worth of plastic bottles directly in the trash. Or using individually packaged creamers for a cup of coffee from a massive pot we’ll never finish. And yet in the office, these are common practices even among those who consider themselves environmentally friendly. In their new book, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Greening Your Business,� co-authors Trish Riley and Heather Gadonniex look at companies’ most wasteful policies,

What can you do? Riley’s recommendations for a greener office: Don’t simply turn o your computer at night — unplug it. The machines use a small amount of “phantom energyâ€? when plugged in, hence the subtle glow and eerie hum of a room full of computers that are seemingly o. Establish an oďŹƒce compost bin in the kitchen in addition to the now-standard recycling bins. Make sure lights are o and that heating and cooling systems are adjusted for hours when the oďŹƒce is empty.

Hip-hop culture on the campus Around 1990, Emery Petchauer was exposed to De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. His life would never be the same. Now — after 20 years spent in various hip-hop scenes as an artist, organizer and scholar — Dr. Petchauer has completed his first book examining the culture of hip-hop on college campuses. “Hip-Hop Culture in College Students’ Lives: Elements, Embodiment, and Higher Edutainment� will be released by

Routledge Books this month. “There’s been a lot of talk about hip-hop in education for a while, but most of the time it’s focused on how teachers use rap music in order to teach,� says Petchauer, who is currently a professor at Lincoln University in Philadelphia. “I wanted to look at the creative spaces where people create hip-hop and develop habits of body, habits of mind — and how they take those habits into educational environments. It’s a way

to conceptualize and understand their education.� Based on Petchauer’s doctoral thesis, “Hip-Hop Culture� examines the underground hip-hop scenes at three anonymous U.S. colleges located in Southern California, the Northeast and the South. “I wasn’t focusing on students that just listened to hip-hop. I was interested in the kids that create and sustain hip-hop culture — these are MCs, dancers, DJs, graffiti writers and event organizers,� ex-

Erudite critic: OWS analysis A social, psychological and political analysis of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street movement demonstrates the theories of anarchism in their respective lack of a thorough analysis of American society. The OWS protesters criticize the corporative status quo and the military as instruments of American foreign policy, and have neither a nascent political party nor a platform of principles or demands necessary for concrete political and economic reform.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Be extra prudent in the management of your resources or be prepared to assume more debt than you can comfortably handle. You won’t like taking on so much financial obligation. Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Should opposition come from an unexpected quarter, you could get caught off guard. Figure out what precipitated this turn of events. Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. If you are taken to task for not doing something you were supposed to do, don’t make excuses. It’ll give you much more peace of mind to start performing instead. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Guard your behavior when in a social or group setting, so that you don’t absentmindedly do something that would be construed as ill-mannered. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. If you allow outside forces to invade your domicile, conditions will not be as placid as you would prefer them to be. Why invite trouble? Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. Certain concepts or ideas that you thought had considerable support might instead be challenged by some unexpected people. Don’t try to force compliance.

It’s time to stand up and demand the police put an end to OWS. They have become nothing more than a bunch of bums hangin’ out in a shantytown that the taxpayers are paying to maintain. I say let them sleep in their own feces — they seem to be comfortable with that. MICHAEL

Taurus April 20-May 20. Should you find yourself up against a person you dislike, don’t make matters worse by letting your feelings be known. If you do, you will only add to an already bad situation. Gemini May 21-June 20. If you’ve been covering up or failing to do something that was expected of you, it could be a time of reckoning. The things that you’ve been neglecting will be brought to light. Cancer June 21-July 22. Unless you make it a point to take a hand in formulating important plans, others involved will do so for you. Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Guard against taking on an involvement that you’re not equipped to handle. You could quickly find yourself in way over your head and cause all kinds of problems.

LeSean McCoy took the handoff, swept to the outside and appeared to have the game-sealing first down on a crucial secondand-3 with 2:26 showing on the clock. Naturally, the jovial running back had to celebrate somehow. His choice? To punch his coach in the gut. “He can do whatever he wants today,” said Andy Reid, who buckled as McCoy’s fist connected with his chest. “I thought he was a tough guy, maybe he’s not,” McCoy said. “I got to ask Tammy [Reid’s wife], ‘How tough is he?’” McCoy, who credited Brian Westbrook for the maneuver, was ruled a yard short on the play.

They insist they are taking it “one game at a time,” but most players still feel the NFC East is there for the taking. After yesterday’s win, the Eagles improved to 1-1 in the division. “No question,” said center Jason Kelce, when asked if the Eagles could still win the East. “I don’t think it’s out of our reach by any stretch of the imagination.

Safety net: Kurt Coleman was reinserted into the lineup and made the most of it. The second-year safety recorded three interceptions, marking the first time since 1966 that an Eagle had three picks in a game. It looks like Coleman is the starting strong safety moving forward, with Nate Allen — who nabbed a first-half interception — holding down the free safety spot. Both players have seen their stock soar.

Union clinches playoff berth after Toronto draw What a great day for a second-year franchise. The Union found out they had made the MLS playoffs following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Toronto FC at a sold-out PPL Park. That’s quite impressive, considering this team hasn’t been in existence all that long. “I’m very excited for our players, our organization and especially our great fans,� said Sebastien Le

Toux, who scored his teamleading 11th goal against Toronto. “It feels really great, and now we have to keep it going. That’s the next goal.� Philadelphia is 11-7-15, and extended its unbeaten streak to eight (3-0-5). The Union is one of nine teams that’s clinched a playoff berth. One spot is up for grabs. Next up is a trip to rival New York on Thursday, before finding out where the

postseason journey will begin. This much the team knows: They’re in. “This was our goal from Day 1,� midfielder Brian Carroll said. “We always knew it was possible. We worked as hard as we could and got it done. It feels great. We’re all very happy and excited about the next step.� ANDY JASNER sports@metro.us

Smaller SUVs beware the new Land Rover 2012 Evoque coupe at a glance

British sports utility brand wants to expand appeal to urbanites What new model gains in practical appeal, it loses in off-road range GETTY IMAGES

Speed: 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds Gas mileage per gallon: 28 highway, 18 city Price as tested: $59,820 Best feature: Stylish appearance and that massive panoramic sunroof. Worst feature: No low-range off-road. Target buyer: The small-SUV shopper who wants cutting-edge looks and acceptable gas mileage.

You’ve never considered owning a Land Rover? Clearly you don’t live in the Australian outback or have a Hollywood entourage to cart around between house parties in the Hills. Maybe you can’t rationalize the 12 miles per gallon in the city. You might have a BMW or Lexus SUV, but until now you’ve been safe from the siren call of the Gaydon, U.K.-based brand. Well, take a look at the new Range Rover Evoque. It’s a dazzlingly designed Trojan horse, aimed squarely at owners of the X3, RX and Audi Q5, an anti-box that looks like a crossover, while retaining a dash of Land Rover’s legendary offroad capability. Old-school Land Rover drivers who actually do drive in the bush will hate it. There’s a long-held perception that a Land Rover is

The Range Rover Evoque mixes off-roader with city-dweller.

an impractical purchase. The Evoque’s starting price of $44,000 is also more accessible for urbanites aspiring to get back to nature, or, at least, reaching suburbia’s big-box stores. The inside is distinctly carlike. There’s plenty of room, but it’s more like the space of a midsize sedan

than a fat SUV. The entire roof is glass, from door frame to door frame. The Evoque drives nearly as nicely on the road as any crossover or small SUV on the market, except for the latest-generation BMW X3. The X3 is faster, more fluid and outright more capable on-road; nearly as good as

the 3 Series sedan. For all that style and onroad comfort, you’ve got to give something, and in this case it’s a measure of offroad prowess. For hard-core off-roaders will find, to their horror, the Evoque has no low range, the type of lowend gearing needed for truly serious terrain. BLOOMBERG

Philly-area dealerships warm up for coat drive The Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Philadelphia Auto Show, announced that starting this past weekend the organization will distribute 22,548 brand-new winter coats to less fortunate children living throughout the region as part of its fourth annual Driving Away the

Cold program. “This initiative has grown every year,” Kevin Mazzucola of the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation and Auto Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia said. “We started back in 2008 ... [and] distributed 17,000 new coats then. Each year, we’ve been able to do more

and more. This would not be possible without the participation of our dealer members. It hasn’t been an easy four years for them, given the recent industry turmoil and state of the economy.” The Driving Away the Cold program is a two-part program: The charitable foundation jump-starts the

annual campaign with a donation of 10,000 new child-size coats, and then area auto dealers contribute as part of a special monthlong campaign. An additional 11,640 new coats were donated this year by the 163 participating dealerships, making the four-year campaign total exceed 79,000. METRO

Stacks of coats were shown off this past weekend.
