Colwyn officer claims the Darby Borough police chief used derogatory word, slammed a door on his leg in an unprovoked altercation last year A civil complaint has now been filed in the case of a police officer who claims he was assaulted by officers from a nearby municipality because of his race.

Colwyn Police Officer Clinton Craddock filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Pennsylvania last week against Darby Borough Police Chief Robert Smythe and eight other officers for an alleged incident in March 2011 in Darby.

According to the complaint, Smythe, who is Caucasian, used a racial slur towards Craddock, an AfricanAmerican, and allegedly slammed his leg in the door of a patrol car after Craddock arrested a suspect in Darby. Cpl. Bryant Baker then pushed Craddock and told him to leave, while the other officers watched the scene unfold, the suit claims.

The incident, which was caught on videotape, is under investigation by the Delaware County District Attorney’s office.

The suit alleges that Craddock has received harassing phone calls, presumably from

Penn State trustees delay vote on decree GETTY IMAGES

PSU president Rodney Erickson signed a decree with the NCAA.

Penn State University’s Board of Trustees has postponed a vote on a consent decree with the NCAA that doled out unprecedented penalties for the university for its inaction in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

The university’s board was set to vote on the decree signed

by University President Rodney Erickson during a Sunday night conference call, but held off due to a provision that requires 10 days’ notice of any meeting at which such action was to take place. Two board members raised the objection at the outset of the call. The meeting had been scheduled Thursday.

The NCAA announced the sanctions on July 23, barring the school from postseason for four years, fining it $60 million, reducing the number of future scholarships and invalidating 112 of the football team’s wins as a result of the report from former FBI director Louis Freeh.

Erickson told trustees that if he had not signed the decree, the university would have faced the death penalty — shuttering the football program for four years.

Two groups are currently appealing those sanctions.

Investigators are also seeking to determine if Sandusky sent “seductive letters” across state lines for sexual reasons, CBS News reported.

The federal probe began at the start of this year and involves the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Middle District of Pennsylvania, as well as U.S. Postal inspectors, according to

the network.

Joe Amendola, an attorney for Sandusky, disputed the allegations. “We believe they are unfounded and ridiculous,” he said in a statement.

“Jerry continues to maintain his innocence.”

Ryan pick sharpens Romney duel with Obama over budget Mitt Romney moved a partisan split over budget cuts and government’s size front and center in the presidential race by selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate, choosing a lawmaker seen by Republicans as a policy visionary and

by Democrats as a fiscal extremist.

Along with energizing his base, Romney’s vice presidential decision shifts a campaign he has sought to frame as a referendum on President Barack Obama’s economic record into a contest between two radically different visions of government’s role.

The former Massachusetts governor’s pairing with Ryan, a fresh-faced Wisconsin congressman, sharpens the Republican ticket’s contrast with Obama and promises a lively debate on whether and how dramatically to curb spending

and overhaul U.S. entitlements, particularly Medicare.

The selection thrilled Obama’s campaign, which hastened to brand Ryan a budgetcutting zealot whose selection shows Romney’s disregard for the middle class. The pick quelled fears among some Republicans, who said Ryan was a bold choice who would animate Romney’s bid and clarify his message.

“We’re offering a positive governing agenda that will lead to economic growth, to widespread and shared prosperity, and that will improve the lives of our fellow citizens,” Romney said in Norfolk, Va., yesterday before introducing Ryan as his running mate. “Our plan to strengthen the middle class will get America back to work and get our country back on track.”

BLOOMBERG

SAUL LOEB/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Who is Ryan?

42 years of age, has spent most of his adult life in Congress, with little business or executive experience to speak of.

He steadily built his credibility as a Washington insider, starting as an intern on Capitol Hill and then becoming an aide to a Republican senator from Wisconsin.

For the past 14 years, he has served as a member of the House of Representatives.

His 2010 manifesto “Young Guns, A New Generation of Conservative Leaders” elevated Ryan’s prominence.

Ryan also adds personal appeal to the Republican ticket.

Ryan is also a fitness buff and leads his fellow lawmakers in a daily exercise group.

Canada farmers cash in on United States drought JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES

After spring floods drowned his seeding plans two years straight, Canadian farmer Walter Finlay is harvesting what looks to be an average or slightly better crop of wheat and canola.

Average will do just fine this year.

The worst drought in a half century in the U.S. Midwest has scorched corn and soybean crops, igniting grain and oilseed prices and leaving farmers in Western Canada poised to profit nicely off the misery of U.S. growers.

Three U.S. Marines have been shot dead by an Afghan worker on a military base in southern Afghanistan, in a deadly 24 hours for NATO-led forces during which six American soldiers were killed in rogue attacks.

Canada is the world’s seventh-largest wheat-growing country, and the top exporter of spring wheat and durum, used in baking and pasta-making respectively. It’s the biggest producer and shipper of canola, used to make oil for salad dressings and margarine.

Canadian farmers will harvest a record-smashing 16 million tons of canola this year, and the biggest wheat crop in three years, according to a July poll by Reuters of traders and analysts.

Already farmers are finding new markets for their crops, as Canadian wheat replaces scarce U.S. corn in feedlots, coming to the rescue of livestock and poultry industries that are scrambling to feed their animals. Oilseeds users are also looking to plentiful canola rather than soybeans.

Metro’s reporter bids adieu to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London at Closing Ceremony Olympics brought countries together Showcased best of athletic competition TOSHIFUMI KITAMURA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Goodbye, London

The Olympic rings are superimposed over the British House of Parliament during the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympic Games.

D

id you watch Japan win gold in gymnastics?” an enthusiastic young Japanese woman asked me as the Olympic Closing Ceremony was about to begin.

I had to admit that I didn’t watch Kohei Uchimura win the men’s gymnastic floor exercise, but during these past two weeks I’ve watched athletes performing many other unusual activities: playing volleyball on a fake beach, cycling around in circles at breakneck speed. Fans have good-naturedly cheered them on, aided by the London Games’ exceptionally well-trained and friendly staff.

At the Olympic closing ceremony, the fans were again there to cheer their athletes on. “Ah, I just love the Dutch,” one of the Games’ volunteers told me as a Dutch fan gave him a Dutch mini-flag.

“They’re always so friendly.”

Then, turning to the fan: “Come on, man, give me a kiss.” But the Dutchman was already busy distributing flags to other Olympic staff.

Meanwhile, the internation-

Shut it down The British brought out the big guns of music to throw a real closing party.

A video of John Lennon performing “Imagine” got attention, while the music of Queen, Pink Floyd, The Who and The Kinks all appeared.

al harmony continued as Swedish fans posed with Iranians, while a group of young Frenchmen made new friends from Indonesia and Spaniards kissed Jamaicans. In fact, the London Games have proven — as the Olympics always should — that national pride doesn’t have to be aggressive.

“The visitors have been very nice and calm,” a security guard told me, referring to the 80,000 people who were streaming in for the Closing Ceremony.

Nowhere is that Olympic national pride more obvious than here in the host country.

Yes, Britain finished third in

gold medals, its best result in a century, but following the British media coverage one could easily get the impression that no other country has won any medals. Indeed, the Olympics have done Britain a lot of good, not just in financial terms. People are suddenly proud to be British, as opposed to English, Welch, Northern Irish or Scottish. Scotland’s planned independence is now uncertain.

As fans continued their cross-border love-in inside the Olympic Park, a large group of Islamists were holding a protest just outside the gates.

“UN go to hell! Assad go to hell!

Burma go to hell! Hands off Muslims! Allah Akhbar!” they shouted in an increasingly hostile manner. A young African strolled over and tried to calm the Islamists down: “Jesus saves, man.” But, I submit, inside the Olympic stadium quite a few people would say, “Usain Bolt saves, man.”

London gets a dose of Girl Power in Olympics

I

Felix is the first female to win three track golds since 1988.

t was fitting to have the originators of Girl Power — the Spice Girls — close out an Olympics that was the most dominant for women in history.

Not only did every country send at least one female representative for the first time, the U.S. team was dominated by performances from the ladies.

They won 29 of the 46 gold medals the United States won and 58 of the 104 total. It was the first time women had out-medaled their male counterparts — and it wasn’t even close.

From Allyson Felix winning three golds on the track to Missy Franklin taking home four in the pool, the U.S. women dominated.

And don’t forget about team sports, where the basketball, water polo and soccer teams all won gold. METRO

Scenes from two weeks in London 2012

1

After winning gold in Beijing, Kristin Armstrong retired from cycling to have a baby. Well, she decided to come out of retirement for London and stood on the podium with her 3-year-old son as gold medalist in the women’s time trial.

2

If you saw Missy Franklin in London, chances are you saw her smiling. The bubbly 17-year-old from Colorado with the size 13 feet won four golds — the most of any female athlete at the Games — in swimming.

3

One of the biggest upsets came in the men’s 100meter freestyle as American Nathan Adrian upset Aussie James Magnussen for the gold.

He also won quite a few female fans.

4 5

4 2

Any thought that these Olympics wouldn’t still belong to Michael Phelps disappeared after a fourth place finish in the 400-meter individual medley. In his next six races he won two silvers and four more golds as he set the record for most medals in Olympic history.

8

5

Finishing second is no fun.

Just ask Sanya RichardsRoss, who cracked down the final straightaway of the 400 meters in Beijing and lost her chance at gold. No such pain in London, as Richards-Ross took gold in the 400m and the 4x400m relay.

6

6

Storybook endings are rare in sports. Phelps got his in London, but so did the duo of Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor. The best pair in beach volleyball history won their third straight gold in London.

7

For the most part the weather was surprisingly good — and very unlike rainy London. Just don’t tell that to gold medalist Marianne Vos and the ladies of the women’s road race.

8 3

Remember when people talked about Usain Bolt being vulnerable coming into London? Not so much. He leaves as the unquestioned greatest sprinter of all-time.

Nothing sums up the agony of defeat more than American runner Morgan Uceny, who tripped and fell on the final lap of the women’s 1,500 meters. It was deja vu for Uceny, who also fell on the last lap at the 2011 World Championships.

10

Revenge never tasted as sweet as it did for the U.S. women’s soccer team. Alex Morgan’s goal in the 123rd minute of the semifinal against Canada set up the U.S. win over Japan, who beat them in the 2011 World Cup final.

11

13

15

You wouldn’t have known it in the U.S., but the biggest star going into the game for Britain was Jessica Ennis. The 26-year-old from Sheffield was plastered all over billboards in London.

She didn’t disappoint, winning the heptathlon in front of a raucus Olympic stadium.

There is rarely a better lock for gold than a Chinese diver. They won seven of eight golds in China and six of eight in London. But thanks to American David Boudia, they didn’t win the marquee event — the men’s 10-meter platform. Boudia sunk world champ Qiu Bo to take gold.

Nope, she isn’t even slightly impressed with that silver medal.

McKayla Maroney is probably still the best vaulter in the world — but after landing on her butt with a gold medal all but assured, it’s not surprising the world got that look.

12

14

Even Usain Bolt was imitating Mo Farah by the time the British native won double gold in the 5,000meter and 10,000-meter races.

He and Ennis were clearly the home favorites to come out of London.

16

As if you needed an illustration, it hurts to drop 423 pounds on your neck.

Germany’s Matthias Steiner found that out the hard way.

He was, thankfully, miraculously unharmed.

No such snear from individual all-around champion Gabby Douglas.

She was all smiles after capturing America’s third straight gold in the allaround — and a whole lot of fans back in the states.

World will head to Rio for 2016 Games

Who’s back?

GETTY IMAGES

The London Olympics may be only one day in the books, but the best cure for an Olympic hangover is to look ahead.

It was announced on Oct. 2, 2009, that the 2016 Summer Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — the first Games ever held in South America.

And with the handing over of the Olympic flame from London to Rio, the march to 2016 has already begun.

Rio is also hosting the

World Cup in 2014, so many of the same venues will be used. That includes Maracanã Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be performed, as well as the finals of the soccer tournaments — sure to be among the most raucous ever held.

When Rio submitted its bid to the IOC, it was planned to cost $14.4 billion. But that was just an estimate and it could certainly cost more than that.

IOC Chief Jacques Rogge said

before the London closing ceremonies he wanted a final budget as soon as possible.

Two new sports will debut in Rio, including golf and rugby. Tiger Woods was among the golfers who lobbied for the sports’ inclusion and will likely play as well.

The Games have come a long way since just nine sports in 1896.

Winter Games?

If you fell asleep in geography class, the 2016 Games in Rio will actually be held during the winter, since it is in the southern hemisphere.

Don’t worry about bringing a coat though. Temperatures in winter in Rio are generally about 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can bring your swimsuit.

Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes

MARK OSBORNE

Which US city should host next?

We know the 2016 Games will be held in Rio, but which athletes will be there to compete? Four years is a very long time in sports, but let’s take a look at some of the stars from the London Games and see if they could figure into Rio: Usain Bolt (Age: 25) Bolt has already said he hopes to be in Rio as long as he is healthy. We hope he is too.

Carl Lewis went to three straight Olympics as a sprinter, but was only on the 4x100-meter relay team. Bolt may be more driven by Yohan Blake, though.

Gabby Douglas (Age: 16) The good news for fans of the American and individual all-around champion is that she is only 16. But the U.S. women’s gymnastics team has been entirely new in each of the last three Olympics. It’s unlikely she, or any of the “Fab Five,” will be in Rio. Missy Franklin (Age: 17) Franklin is the anointed heir to the U.S. swimming crown, so huge things will be expected of her in Rio. She won four golds in London and could swim a Michael Phelps-esque program of eight races in 2016.

W

hile the financial rewards of London hosting the 2012 summer games will be highly debated over the next several days, cities across the globe won’t hesitate to put in a bid for the world’s biggest athletic celebration going forward.

With the 1996 Summer Games having been held in Atlanta and the 2002 Winter Games having been held in Salt Lake City, it is a near guarantee that a U.S. city will host another Olympics within the next 20 years.

Metro takes a look at where those games could be held in the U.S., and the likelihood that a bid would be accepted by the International Olympic Committee. MATT BURKE

Chicago

Philadelphia New York

Boston

Its bid for the 2016 Games came up short, but by the time the bidding for the 2024 games comes around (2015), Chicago should be one of the global favorites.

“The Chi” in the summertime is phenomenal and in its 2016 bid all of the athletic facilities would have been in close proximity. The reason this wouldn’t be a lock is the budget. Chicago was looking at a $3.8 billion budget for the 2016 games and many in the Windy City wanted to pass.

In the middle of the Northeast Corridor, Philly would have no trouble attracting a large, Olympic-sized crowd. But is the city really equipped to handle that much traffic?

One plus is that there are three relatively new athletic stadiums all within walking distance of one another. The Wells Fargo Center could host indoor events like basketball and volleyball, while Lincoln Financial Field would have to be altered for track and field.

Yes, the congestion in NYC would be horrific and no major U.S. city is currently in the position to budget $3 billion for two weeks of fun, but New York is the type of “world-class city” that the IOC drools over.

Its West Coast rival Los Angeles has, in Olympics-terms, likely hosted the Games too recently (1984) to be considered a possibility. The United States Olympic Committee nominated NYC for the 2012 games, but the bid was eliminated on the second ballot.

If Atlanta could host an Olympics, why couldn’t Boston?

The obvious issue, however, would be the ability to build an Olympic-sized stadium in the city. The last time a Gillette Stadium-sized project was proposed for Boston, it was met with endless barriers. There’s a reason why the Patriots still play 25 miles south of the city. And it took the threat of a move to Connecticut just to get that stadium built.

Olympic chances: 9

Olympic chances: 4

Olympic chances: 7

Olympic chances: 4

David Boudia (Age: 23) Like gymnastics, diving is often a young person’s game. In fact, Boudia was the oldest member of the men’s diving team in London. But Boudia was a late bloomer in the sport and his gold in London will likely mean he at least gives Rio a go.

Alex Morgan (Age: 23) Abby Wambach is almost certainly done on the U.S. women’s soccer team. So who is going to lead them? Well, Morgan is the natural bet. She may already be the most recognizable player. The pressure to beat Marta and Brazil in Rio will be absolutely tremendous for the U.S.

monica.weymouth@metro.us — Monica will return on Wednesday.

Perry, Mayer canoodling continues ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

It looks like Katy Perry’s got a type — tall, dark and grungy.

After splitting with hubby Russell Brand last year, the “Wide Awake” singer now seems to be getting cozy with another member of the showeraverse club: John Mayer. The two, who shared a dinner date earlier this month and have been spotted around L.A. since, were recently snapped leaving a house party in Los Feliz, Calif., over the weekend, TMZ reports.

So is the Hollywood playboy — who’s been linked to a slew of A-list ladies, including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson and Taylor Swift — Perry’s new knight in shining armor?

“She’s not talking like he’s ‘the one,’” a pal of Perry’s tells People. “She’s comfortable around guys who understand the craziness of that world, which he definitely does.”

If Perry has indeed found a man who understands her kind of world — a technicolor dreamland with purple wigs and whipped cream-spewing bras — we can’t help but won-

der what John Mayer really has been putting in his pipe all these years.

New celebrity BFF alert

It sounds like John Mayer is still testing the A-list dating pool.

Now here are two people we wouldn’t want to put in a room together: gossip magnets Kristen Stewart and Lindsay Lohan. X17.com reports that the two were seen at a party in Huntington Beach, Calif., which Stewart attended in support of her younger brother, Cameron, who had participated in a surfing competition connected with the fete. No word on why Lohan was there — but if other reports are true (see below), maybe it was just so she could throw things and shame others for not being famous. If Stewart wants to keep this whole reviled-by-the-public thing going, perhaps she has decided to learn from the master.

... and Katy Perry may be his new “Wonderland.”

‘Bourne’ beats Batman in the box office

A cast of celebrities — including Nick Lachey, Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street and Mr. Sarah Palin — train with members of the military to humiliate themselves and show just how hard our troops work. Gen. Wesley Clark — yes, the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe and presidential candidate — hosts.

Series premiere, 8 p.m., NBC

‘The Campaign’ trails Jeremy Renner’s action reboot to put ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in the third slot Action movie “The Bourne Legacy” and adult comedy “The Campaign” knocked three-time box office champ Batman from the top of U.S. and Canadian box office charts over the weekend.

“The Bourne Legacy” scored an estimated $40.3 million in ticket sales from Friday through Sunday, distributor Universal Pictures said. The film stars Jeremy Renner in the sequel to the three earlier “Bourne” spy films that featured Matt Damon.

“The Campaign,” starring Will Ferrell and Zack

Galifianakis, about two candidates running against each other for a seat in Congress, won $27.4 million at domestic theaters.

The two films pushed Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” to third place. The movie, starring Christian Bale, brought in $19.5 million during its fourth weekend in theaters.

Comcast Corp.’s Universal Pictures released “Bourne Legacy.” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Campaign” were distributed by Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc. REUTERS

How to craft your elevator pitch Motivational speaker Terri Sjodin teaches us the art of delivering an exciting presentation Plus, how to get what you want from meetings GEORGE DOYLE

M

otivational speaker Terri Sjodin has taught her persuasive sales techniques to hundreds of companies nationwide, from AETNA to the YMCA. Sjodin, an oft-featured speaker at Republican Party leadership events, says her latest book — “Small Message, Big Impact: The Elevator Speech Effect” — is an attempt to apply her strategies to everyday office situations.

The clock is ticking, so know exactly what you want to say.

How do you stay true to yourself and still craft an effective pitch?

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t behave appropriately in a meeting, but starting to blend in your natural passion would be a good first step.” SJODIN adventure story. While they’re sharing it, they’re animated, and they use their own little colloquialisms.

Basically, they’re having fun. Their natural voice comes through. Then I take that same person and video them giving a business presentation. They suddenly become like Stepford [wives].

There’s this fictitious business mode that people think they need to adopt. Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t behave appropriately in a meeting, but starting to blend in your natural passion would be a good first step.

Where do people go wrong in crafting an elevator speech?

They don’t take the time to craft it. They wing it. It takes time and effort to honestly ask yourself: What do I want to say?

What’s important about what I want to say? And, more importantly, what does the listener think is important? What’s the sexy nugget about what I have

to say?

But the listener often throws wild cards at you.

That’s why, before every business meeting, it’s also important to ask yourself a basic question: What do I want to happen as a result of this meet-

ing? Once you know what you want — in plain and clear language — it becomes easy to work out what they need to hear in order to give you that.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, paid interns spend more of their time on professional duties while unpaid interns are given more clerical tasks. Recently, NACE found that 60 percent of graduates who had paid internships received at least one job offer.

Use all of your resources.

The best way to learn about paid internships is to ask around. Talk to your family and friends, and connect with your LinkedIn contacts.

Go to conferences and local events, ask your teachers, attend job fairs and even look on Craigslist. When you approach a possible opportunity, ask up front if it’s paid before you go on a series of interviews. If it’s unpaid and you have no other options, try to at least get course credit for your hard work.

Alter expectations according to your interests.

Depending on your major and the industry you want to pursue, the likelihood of finding a paid internship changes. For instance, if you want a job in entertainment you may not get paid. If you’re an accounting or finance major, there’s a high likelihood that you will get paid as an intern. The more in-demand you and your degree are, the better chance you have at securing a paid internship. – Dan Schawbel is the founder of Millennial Branding, a Gen-Y research and consulting company.

End violence through knowledge After reading the letter titled “Coverage of Sikh temple killings found wanting” by Jahed Ahmed, I find it is profoundly true that this unfortunate, horrible incident was not given the media coverage it deserved. I agreed with Mr. Ahmed that this was NOT an act of mistaken identity but indeed premeditated.

The people of this country need to educate themselves on the other religions and understand their beliefs. It is a real shame that immigrants are not yet accepted in this country and a bigger shame that those that kill and hurt these innocent, God-loving people will never understand that most of them came to this country to better themselves. Wake up America, this country was built by

immigrants — and regardless how you want to take it, they are here to stay. You can kill, but you cannot kill the love these people have for humanity. It only strengthens it.

What does it matter about tax returns?

I could not care less whether Mitt Romney produces his tax returns. I am not voting for him or Obama. The lesser of two evils is not the correct choice. People should vote their conscience. That being said, why should Romney have to produce his tax returns? Why does anyone have the right to know what he does with his money? You wouldn’t want people demanding for you to produce your tax returns, so

why should you demand it from him? To all you people clamoring about Romney’s tax returns, you’re starting to sound a lot like Donald Trump and the “birthers.”

This is a dead issue meant to distract the public yet again from the real issues.

Congress should take more mental health days

US road paved with bad choices

Congress adjourning and leaving Washington for a fiveweek recess is actually great news. Our civil and economic liberties are continually at risk when any legislative body is in session. Elected officials on a bipartisan basis routinely pass legislation to increase spending, taxes, borrowing and deficits. They also

Sure, President Obama inherited all sorts of problems from George W. Bush, that diabolical nightmare. But that doesn’t let Obama off the hook. He has perpetuated these useless wars, practically ruined our economy with those bailouts, gun-running in Mexico to their drug lords, and worse. That’s not to say we’ll be any better off with Romney in the White House.

But we still have choices other than Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. Unfortunately, the American people will likely vote that way.

Andrew Bynum, new center of attention Sixers add missing piece underneath Seven-footer brings talent, attitude to young team Thorn confident center will sign long-term extension Trade greeted with rave reviews GETTY IMAGES

When was the last time the Sixers acquired a true franchise player? The year was 1996 and the “Answer” was Allen Iverson. They kept him for more than a decade.

Thursday night’s stunning, blockbuster trade that brought Andrew Bynum to town also brought longevity questions. The 7-footer’s contract is up after this season, making him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2013. Can the Sixers, devoid of star power for so long, convince Bynum to be the face of

Projected lineup With Bynum, the Sixers have a young, talented starting five (ages in parentheses): PG, Jrue Holiday (22) » Needs to up his playmaking with Andre Iguodala gone SG, Jason Richardson (31) » Brings much-needed, elite 3-point shooting C, Andrew Bynum (24) » Regarded as second-best true center in the NBA SF, Evan Turner (23) » Time for No. 2 overall pick to shine as the versatile swingman PF, Thad Young (24) » Bulky Bynum fits perfectly with slender Young.

the franchise for the foreseeable future?

“Our feeling is we will have a very good chance to sign Bynum for several reasons,” president Rod Thorn said.

“He’s very happy about getting traded to us. He thinks we have a good team and he’s very happy about it.”

As Thorn mentioned, the Sixers will have a lot going in their favor next summer. Although Bynum has spent his entire pro career in the glitz of Los Angeles, he calls nearby Plainsboro, N.J., home, a town that is about an hour’s drive from the Wells Fargo Center.

The Sixers also acquired his “Bird Rights” in the trade, meaning they will be able to offer him about $20 million more than any other team.

And finally, Bynum is a very confident guy who craves being a team’s star. He didn’t always appear content to share the Lakers’ spotlight with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

“I think he’s wanted to get back to the East Coast,” coach Doug Collins told reporters in London for the Olympics. “We think Andrew is going to want to stick around. I think the change of scenery is going to be good for him.”

Did Sixers get steal of offseason?

Bynum’s scoring numbers should rise in South Philly. Coach Doug Collins called him the best low-post center in the NBA.

The Sixers gave up Andre Iguodala, Moe Harkless, Nik Vucevic and a protected first-rounder for Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson.

Did they lose quality assets? Certainly. Did they get one of the most unique basketball players in the world? Definitely.

As the Sixers have found out, swingmen are available in every draft.

What we haven’t seen is a back-to-basket center than commands double teams every possession.

Bynum averaged 18.7 points, 11.8 boards and 1.9 blocks last season while playing in the shadow of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. If his numbers don’t rise here, it will be a major disappointment.

“He might be the best low-post center in the NBA,” Doug Collins said.

“You can throw the ball in to him, he can score, he can defend, he can rebound.” METRO/AL

3 Don’t go there

Reid not focused on new contract One day after his agent said Andy Reid would be coach of the Eagles for as long as Jeff Lurie owned the team, the coach set the record straight.

“I don’t even go there,” Reid said yesterday. “That’s not what this is about.”

Reid has two years left on his deal. In 14 years, he’s never gone into the final year of his contract.

The U.S. men’s basketball team won the gold medal yesterday in London. It wasn’t always pretty — in fact, the undefeated Americans led by just one point entering the fourth quarter — but the gold shines just as bright. That makes back-toback Olympic crowns for the Americans.

Kevin Durant paced the team with 30 points, while LeBron James put in 19 in a 107100 victory over Spain in the final, which was hard-fought and, at times, downright nasty.

In the end, it was James providing the signature moments, wowing the crowd with a jawdropping dunk and key 3-point-

Phils walk it off, top Cards in 11th inning Juan Pierre and Jimmy Rollins thought they had the day off.

When the Phillies needed them, the pair strapped on their running shoes and went to work.

Pierre drilled a liner at Rafael Furcal, which he fielded deep in the hole at shortstop.

Vance Worley started, but gave up four runs on nine hits in 5 1/3. Erik Kratz continued to state his case to be on the roster next season. The catcher crushed the first pitch he saw in the eighth 375-feet into the left-field stands. Kratz’s shot, which came with two outs, tied the game at 7-7.

In the 11th, it was Kratz doing damage again with a leadoff single. Rollins, who pinchhit for Michael Martinez in the eighth, got to second via two fielder’s choice plays then stole third. Pierre legged out the infield single to win it.
