Antonio Rodriguez, the man long suspected of being the Kensington Strangler, was convicted Thursday of brutally murdering three young women in late 2010.

Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Minehart found Rodriguez, 23, guilty of three counts of murder, rape, deviate sexual intercourse and abuse of a corpse in the deaths of Elaine Goldberg, Nicole Piacentini and Casey Mahoney. Minehart im-

mediately sentenced Rodriguez to three consecutive life terms with no chance of parole.

According to testimony during the trial, Rodriguez met each of the women before going to secluded locations where he had sex with them. Rodriguez strangled the women from behind and then positioned them in a kneeling position facedown after they were dead.

Minehart briefly summed up the gruesome nature of the murders.

“This is just a horrific case.

You not only violated these young women when they were alive, you violated them after they were dead,” he said. “You didn’t even give them peace.”

Rodriguez, who chose not to testify, stood with his head down staring at the floor, swaying from side to side as the sentence was announced. After-

ward, his attorney said Rodriguez would appeal.

Family members of each of the victims emotionally explained how the tragic deaths had affected them before Minehart issued the sentence.

“I’ll never be the same,” said Joseph Goldberg, father of Elaine Goldberg. “Life is not a joy for me anymore.”

‘Kensington Strangler’ guilty in three murders

Priest abuse charges refiled The Philadelphia district attorney’s office said Thursday that it will re-file felony sex assault charges against Andrew McCormick, 56, a former Montgomery County Catholic church pastor accused of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a 10year-old boy, hours after a judge dismissed the most serious of those charges during a preliminary hearing.

Philly’s Town Watch chief makes plea to Council that more help is needed at rec centers, parks Violence at supposed safe havens big concern

Comcast stock boom in 2012 PHILADELPHIA. Comcast and Time Warner Cable have soared to the top of S&P 500 media index this year, defying predictions of cable’s downfall, thanks in part to one big selling point: They don’t do business in Europe.

The two largest U.S. cable companies appeal to investors who want to avoid the fallout from Europe’s debt crisis and currency fluctuations, an analyst said.

Comcast has gained 44 percent this year. BLOOMBERG

Machete attacker on the loose NEW JERSEY. A manhunt was

under way Thursday in Vineland for a man who allegedly attacked a woman with a machete the night before, leaving her hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to a report from The News of Cumberland County. Police said Eugenio Morales, 43, stabbed the woman, 41, in the face, body and hands around 9 p.m. Wednesday and fled in a black SUV, which was later found abandoned in Buena Vista Township. METRO/AW

You may soon see nonuniformed town watch volunteers on motorcycles, bikes and horseback patrolling Philadelphia’s nearly 10,000 acres of parks and rec centers, especially in the evening hours when recreational activities cease and tend to give way to illicit ones.

“Violence is having an impact in such a way that organizing more town watch groups and reaching out to motorcycle groups and equestrian groups make sense,” director of Town Watch Integrated Services Anthony Murphy testified before a summer City Council hearing convened Thursday to discuss the rising tide of crime in supposed safe havens. “We have trails that are traveled particularly by people who ride horses.

You want to get them involved because they become another set of eyes and ears in the time they spend there.”

That was only one of the unconventional solutions discussed after a summer crime wave resulted in several disturbing incidents throughout the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation facilities. A man injured three people when he opened fire from the bleachers of the Wister Recreation Center

Where’s the technology?

One suggestion for enhanced safety is a swipecard entry system for park facilities or partnering with the local tech community to make a smartphone app that equips cameras to alert officials of unusual motion patterns.

Deputy Mayor Mike DiBerardinis said that cameras — sans apps — have already been purchased for 30 of the city’s more than 160 facilities and installation will begin in the fall.

But with a price tag of $375,000 from the department, combined with additional funds from District Council members to outfit less than 20 percent of rec centers with surveillance, limited resources continue to pose a challenge — hence some of the more creative suggestions.

Dressed all in white and ready for dinner

GETTY IMAGES

Culinary flash mob, French-style, will pop up in Philly next week ‘Diner en Blanc’ will mean lots of well-dressed people, fancy baskets If crowds of people clad all in snowy white with picnic baskets, folding tables and chairs in hand — and under arm — suddenly appear on your commute home from work next Thursday evening, you’ll be witnessing the pilgrimage to the secret location of the first Philadelphia iteration of “Diner en Blanc,� a pop-up picnic that originated in France.

This “dinner in white� is a equal parts culinary foray and participatory theater, with guests forking over $59 per couple to provide their own food, ensembles, tables, chairs, real china, silver, and even centerpieces and candles to participate in the event.

Quoted

“It depends if something like this excites you — I wouldn’t necessarily spend ten hours tailgating at the Eagles.�

Local organizer Natanya DiBona, who has been wrangling a blog, a Pinterest, and a message board flooded with questions about event protocol, divulged that there were 2,500

people still on a waiting list after the 1,300 lucky recipients of a spot had been confirmed. “Though some people see it as a lot of ‘work’ in a way that going out to dinner is not, it’s being part of an experience,� she said. “It depends if something like this excites you — I wouldn’t necessarily spend ten hours tailgating at the Eagles.�

In addition to local folks like Franklin Fountain owners Ryan and Eric Berley, Foobooz founder Art Etchells and Duke & Winston designer Seun Olubodun, chef Christina Wilson, a current contestant on Hell’s Kitchen, will be attending with her public relations rep Sara Ann Kelly.

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, August 18th at 9:00AM, 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 variety 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 and register by 8:15AM 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 August 17th 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 preowned 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, August 18th, at 9:00AM. Pre-owned vehicles will be sold for as low as $999. Customers are encouraged to arrive and register by 8:15AM for

the start of inspection. Incredible sale prices, starting as low as $999, will be posted no later than 8:00AM. 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 pre-owned 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.

Courtesy transportation available from all local airports, train stations and bus depots.

In the wake of the child molestation scandal that rocked Penn State and its esteemed football program, the university will host a conference on child sexual abuse featuring abuse survivors Sugar Ray Leonard and Elizabeth Smart.

The two-day event in October will bring together some of the top U.S. experts on child sexual abuse, prevention and treatment to help educate the public about the problem, according to a statement from the university.

Leonard, a famed American boxer, will give a keynote speech, and kidnap survivor

The scandal “Penn State has made a commitment to becoming a leader in the research, prevention and treatment of child abuse, and this conference is an important part of that,” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement.

Penn State campus

The conference, which is open to the public, will be held on Oct. 29 and 30 at the Penn State Conference Center Hotel on the University Park campus. Tickets can be purchased at protectchildren.psu.edu.

Meanwhile, lawyers for two of the ex-officials cited in the Freeh report as helping to cover up early reports of

Smart will be the final speaker at the conference. Both suffered abuse as children.

Penn State came under scrutiny after revelations that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years, including incidents in university locker rooms.

An independent investigation commissioned by Penn State and led by former FBI director Louis Freeh concluded that school officials were alerted about Sandusky’s abuse, did nothing to stop it and decided against reporting it to authorities. REUTERS

Sandusky’s abuse, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz, were scheduled to appear on their behalf in a Pennsylvania court.

Both are charged with failing to report suspected child abuse and then lying about it to a grand jury. They have pleaded not guilty.

News in brief White House may release oil reserve WASHINGTON. The White House is “dusting off old plans” for a potential release of oil reserves to dampen rising gasoline prices and prevent high energy costs from undermining the success of Iran sanctions, a source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.

U.S. officials will monitor market conditions over the coming weeks, watching whether gasoline prices fall after the Sept. 3 Labor Day holiday, as they historically do, the source said.

It was too early to say how big a drawdown would be from the U.S. Strategic Petro-

leum Reserve and, potentially, other international reserves if a decision to proceed were taken, the source said. REUTERS

Trends point to lackluster economic growth WASHINGTON. A trend measure of Americans signing up for new jobless benefits fell close to a four-year low last week, but weakness

in a regional factory gauge showed U.S. recovery still faces an uphill climb.

Other data on Thursday gave mixed signals about the strength of an incipient housing recovery, with groundbreaking on new homes falling slightly in July even as building permits rose.

Taken together, the data reinforced the view that economic growth might pick up in the second half of the year but would still be lackluster.

Chuck Norris is just one of many familiar faces in “Expendables 2.”

‘The Expendables 2’ Director: Simon West Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, JeanClaude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Liam Hemsworth, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger Rating: R Grade: You can’t take a film like “The Expendables 2” seriously. After all, any movie that begins with the most gratuitous body count sequence since “Team America” isn’t taking itself seriously, either.

Although the plot is negligible, it’s certainly beside the point. Instead, Sly Stallone and company continue their winking homage to ’80s action by amping up the destruction and slipping in cheesy one-liners. It’s not going to win any awards, but it is stupid fun for a Friday night.

Quentin Tarantino’s landmark film resurrected John Travolta’s career and became a watershed moment for indie cinema’s increasing profitability.

Director Wes Anderson’s quirky film about family dysfunction utilized each actor’s strongest talents so well that the film is largely considered his best. A 2008 survey by film magazine Empire named it the 159th best film of all time.

Review

Kodi Smit-McPhee gives voice to Norman Babcock in “ParaNorman.”

‘ParaNorman’ Director: Chris Butler, Sam Fell Cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck Rating: PG Grade: It’s been a long time since a kids’ movie this dark has been unleashed on our unsuspecting youth. “ParaNorman” harkens back to a time when Disney used to make creepy cartoons like “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” before it was decided that kids shouldn’t be exposed to anything except talking animals and stories about ecology. It’s

strange and weird, and parents should understand it could induce nightmares in the really young ones, but it’s very good.

The 3-D and scene composition give it the look of beautiful, old View-Master slides. The stop-motion work looks lovingly handmade, giving the whole thing an organic feel not found in slicker, computer-generated movies. As for who this movie is for, well, it’s not certain. It’s definitely not for little kids, but parents and children who enjoy getting mildly creeped out will find lots to like here.

Jordin Sparks keeps it real B

efore the interview begins, something white and fluffy rushes by.

“That’s Minnie, she’s my dog,” Jordin Sparks offers apologetically. “She got into a cup of coffee, so we want to watch her real quick for a little bit. She’s kind of walking sideways slightly, but she’ll be fine.” That’s just one more thing for Sparks to keep track of as the “American Idol” winner launches her first major foray into acting with “Sparkle,” the girl-group drama that has her going toe to toe with Whitney Houston.

What was your frame of mind going into the audition process as an actress for the first time?

My mind-set when I went in to

‘Idol’ chatter How do you think Mariah Carey will do as a judge on “American Idol”?

I feel like Mariah started out pretty young, and she’s grown up in the spotlight and industry. She’s had her ups and downs, she’s had high-profile relationships, she’s had all this stuff happen, and I think the fact that on “Idol” you have such a huge age range that she’s able to hit each thing that each contestant might come up with. I’m excited to see what she does, and I’m also excited to see who else they bring in.

audition was, “There’s a very real chance that you couldn’t get this part — but if you do, run with it. Just go, run with it, don’t question it.”

That mind-set of “I might not get it” is pretty mature. How do you get that balance?

If we’re going to go way back, my dad played football.

I’ve always kind of compared everything to the sports world. Like there’s always somebody who’s going to be coming up who’s more talented or faster or stronger or something like that. ... So I always had that mind-set because of my dad, and I applied that to “Idol” as well.

Kelsey Grammer stars in “Boss.� Season 2 premieres Friday at 9 p.m. on Starz.

Chicago is Mayor Tom Kane’s town. Portrayed with a commanding ferocity and effortless charisma by Kelsey Grammer, Kane plays the politics game better than anyone, sacrificing family and friends to retain his power on the Starz drama “Boss.� That’s despite suffering from the neurological disease Lewy body dementia, though his condition is worsening as Season 2 picks up on Friday. “Tom has discovered there are gaps in his life that maybe he would like to fill in, or at least try to,� Grammer says.

“He realizes that he’s not a fully realized human being and only has so many avenues to explore to actually make that different; one being his [estranged] daughter, and even his [emotionally detached] wife.�

Despite delivering a withering onscreen stare that real-life Chicago cops have told Grammer “is just like [former] Mayor [Richard] Daley,� and Kane’s penchant for dirty deeds, the actor insists “there is some humanity available to us to be explored� in the mayor.

Of course, the newspaper editor looking to expose Kane’s corruption may not think so — but that’s what makes this peek at backroom politics so dangerously appealing.

Cast additions Meet the new players in the Chicago power scene working with Mayor Kane in Season 2: Sanaa Lathan as Mona Fredricks: “Mona is a very smart, politically savvy woman who grew up on the South Side of Chicago,�

Lathan says. “She grew up in a community that was very disenfranchised. She pursued politics to be an advocate for those people in that community. Kane is really the only one who can do something about [the redevelopment of the neighborhood], so when she has the opportunity to work with him, she takes it.�

Jonathan Gro as Ian Todd: “Ian Todd is one of the new employees of Mayor Kane,â€? explains Groff. “Very ambitious, very smart, but very green. [He is] trying to get as close to Mayor Kane as he possibly can ‌ [while] holding onto deep, dark secrets at the same time.â€?

Tip “T.I.� Harris as Trey Rogers: “Trey is a very ambitious young man who comes from a hostile, hazardous environment, but he has plans to [expand] his influence into politics,� Harris says. “He feels that he could do just as good of a job as they can, and he has an interesting approach to it.�.

YES, YOU CAN ... CAN! Quoted

Want to make jam, but don’t have the Ball (jar)s? Laena McCarthy’s new book aims to demystify canning for urban cooks

I

t happens about this time every year. Confronted with a bounty of fresh fruit, we think, “This is the year I make my own jam.� But we never do. Whether it’s fear of contamination or lack of kitchen space, something always stops us short of, ahem, sealing the deal.

To help quell our fears, we turned to Brooklyn-based jammer Laena McCarthy, founder of Anarchy in a Jar (www.anarchyinajar.com) and author of the new book “Jam On: The Craft of Canning Fruit.� “I teach a lot of classes, and almost everybody who attends

Ready to jam? McCarthy recommends starting out with her book’s “3’s Company Triple Berry Jam� recipe. “It’s pretty foolproof,� she says. “The berries only cook for a short amount of time, so the whole process is very quick. ...

It’s pretty hard to screw up.�

“I teach a lot of ... fully capable cooks, but they’re terriďŹ ed that they’re going to kill someone if they make jam.

Essentially, you cannot kill someone.�

are totally smart, fully capable cooks, but they’re terrified that they’re going to kill someone if they make jam,� she tells us. “Essentially,� she continues, “you cannot kill someone. The pH in fruit is low enough that things like botulism can’t grow in that environment.�

McCarthy had the advantage of watching her mother make jam from local produce and garden herbs in upstate New York. Her personal technique, she says, is a blend of traditional American and European styles that reduces cooking time as well as the amount of added sugar, “slowly but

THE WORD

Checking in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer.

Metro’s Monica Weymouth shares her take on the world of gossip

@AlbertBrooks This election is making me insane. I would rather at this point see these four men box.

@monicaatmetro

Romney campaign needs a new playlist

@lindsaylohan Making movies happen.... :) @DomsWildThings (Dominic Monaghan) An ex bay watch actress was hospitalized after falling whilst hiking looking for “Noahs ark” somewhere in the middle east. This. Is. True.

As a general rule, we try not to mix celebrity gossip with politics here — even we have souls to answer to.

But, unfortunately, it’s just that time in the election cycle, so take a walk with us: The Silversun Pickups have sent Mitt Romney a cease-and-desist letter after his campaign played their 2009 hit, “Panic Switch,” at events without permission.

“We don’t like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking — and we don’t like the Romney campaign,” Silversun singer Brian Aubert said in a statement.

“We’re nice, approachable people. We won’t bite. Unless you’re Mitt Romney!”

A Romney rep told the Los Angeles Times that the song has been taken out of rotation, and that it wasn’t “played intentionally.” We’re inclined to believe them here, considering the song’s paranoid, gun-rid-

@lenadunham My Mom: “You know one of your babysitters killed herself.” My Dad: “Well, that wasn’t Lena’s fault.” My Mom: “it wasn’t NOT her fault.”

Romney may be a Silversun Pickups fan ...

... but the feeling isn’t mutual, says the band.

Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?”

dled chorus: “When you see yourself in a crowded room, Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?

Will you step in line or release the glitch?

Not as good as the Reagan campaign mistaking “Born in the USA” as a patriotic anthem, but still, pretty great playlist fail.

Get some chunky glasses, Lady Lady Gaga has been getting some backlash for stepping out in what appear to be real fur coats recently.

She took to her blog to oddly coo at her fans (“I care deeply about your feelings and views”) and offer this defense of her wardrobe: “You see a carcass, I see a museum piece de resistance,” she writes.

Lady Gaga, for the last time, weird hair — yours or bunnies’ — gives you no artist cred after high school.

Humphries has crafty lawyers Kris Humphries is engineering a you-hurt-my-feelings lawsuit against former wife Kim Kardashian, and in the process has to serve her current boyfriend, Kanye West, a subpoena.

Lady Gaga

So how do you corner a guy with an entourage on the payroll? In a stroke of enviable genius, Humphries’ lawyer sent the papers over in a Nordstrom box.

If a Cinnabon box lands at the Metro office, we’re going to have some very tough decisions to make.

Around the World in 80 Beers

Your passport to craft beer

Shark Week at PYT

Tapped out on all your go-to brews? World Cafe Live is showcasing rare beers from around the globe

F

or all of the spotlight that’s been cast onto craft brewers in recent years, much of the world remains in the dark. Traditional beer capitals like Germany, Belgium and the States remain the center of the hopsiverse. But according to Denny Carvell, food and beverage manag-

er of World Cafe Live, great beer can come from unexpected places.

“Think of any place that you wouldn’t expect,” Carvell says.

“There’s probably someone in that region brewing craft beer.

There’s so much out there to be discovered.”

World Cafe will help save curious imbibers

Restaurant news & notes

some exorbitant plane fares with “Around the World in 80 Beers,” a tasting of craft beers from across the globe. Carvell has scoured the dustier nooks of his distributors’ catalogs to offer samplings from breweries like Svyturys in Lithuania, Windhoek in Namibia and Hitachino in Japan. Other stops range from Italy to Austria to Denmark. In addition, Carvell will offer a few limited-edition North American brews that he set aside for just such an occasion.

The biggest challenges, Carvell says, were unearthing quality brews from Africa and South America, where the predominant offerings seemed to be “boring, Budweiser-style beers.” Among his most intriguing discoveries are 5 A.M. Saint — a red ale from Scotland’s BrewDog — Taj Mahal Lager from India and Dutch brewery Mikkeller. “I don’t even know what style I’m going to get from them,” he says of Mikkeller with a shrug. “It’s really irrelevant, because everything I’ve had from them is just out of this world.”

Strand Of Oaks’ latest effort is ‘futuristic, but very organic’ Catch them this weekend at the Folk Fest

career education

Self-released last month, “Dark Shores� is the follow-up to Strand Of Oaks’ acclaimed 2010 album, “Pope Killdragon.� Expanding on the latter, frontman Timothy Showalter intended for even more icy synthesizers and strange sci-fi rumbles to meet his acoustic guitarplaying and confessional songwriting on “Dark Shores.� He recorded the music (“Like an ’80s horror movie soundtrack,� he says) before writing the lyrics, then realized the lyrics didn’t quite mesh with the sonic mood. Scrapping the first version, he went to San Francisco to re-record with lauded indie artist John Vanderslice. “I made the soundtrack before the movie was written, and it just didn’t fit,� says Showalter. “The second version became more of a minimal, mostly acoustic album; the songs are even more lonely, autobiographical and raw. They’re still mostly about space, but the synthesizers were too obvious

this time. It turned out futuristic, but very organic.�

Always fascinated with space, on “Dark Shores�

Showalter explores how, as he gets older, his life’s becoming more alien to him. “Things are changing; I’m not as handsome as I once was,� he jokes. “Space is such a perfect mirror for what it was like turning 30 — losing friends, getting grayer and getting weirder-looking.�

The album’s startlingly heartwarming, with humorous flashes, but there’s an unshakeable melancholy. “It’s a genuinely sad record, and I’ve never admitted that before,� says Showalter. “It’s the realization of moving on from personal relationships, from who I once was. But there’s also hope. I didn’t want to write totally selfpitying music. But, man, these really are some sad bastard songs.�

Philadelphia rock band mewithoutYou’s latest album, “Ten Stories,� begins on Feb. 8, 1878, as a train transporting a traveling circus plows through the mountains of Montana.

Snow falls hard as the conductor increases the speed; when the train makes a sharp turn, an elephant slams itself against its cage, hoping to wreck the train and set itself free.

The plan works, and each song on the ambitious “Ten Stories,� which mewithoutYou will perform at the TLA on Saturday, focuses on the animals as they either escape to freedom or remain in captivity.

Vocalist and guitarist Aaron Weiss, a doctoral student in Temple’s Urban Education program, arrived at this idea after reading an essay by the American psychologist and philosopher William James. “It was a good starting point, and seemed like a colorful symbol of our own journey,� Weiss says about the brief story James told of a circus tiger remaining in its cage despite the possibility of escaping after a train crash. “I don’t think freedom and captiv-

ity are necessarily opposed to each other; it’s much more complicated.�

The tiger stays. So does the elephant, which nobly thinks it deserves punishment for crashing the train. The fox and the bear decide to run off into the cliffs. Meanwhile, the peacock is distracted by its own beauty. “I identify with them all,� says Weiss about the characters. “It was freeing to take a step back, rather than insert my own voice into the story. It was refreshing to think about it from the perspective of the animals; it allowed me to explore different aspects of my own personality. I’m more proud of some than others, but they’re all a part of me.�

The sick man has a clean bill of health RE: “THE SICK MAN OF EUROPE — AND US” (METRO, AUG. 16)

“Socialism is failing in Europe” says John Mielach.

Symptoms of that failure in Germany include: better employment numbers than ours; government assistance to work-sharing arrangements to minimize the spillover when Wall Street and the City of London almost drove the world economy over the cliff; national health insurance; national student-tuition subsidies, which ensure that German students do not face a mountain of debt when they graduate, and help make university education available for a broader group; and lots more — including government assistance to apprenticeship programs for youngsters

who are not college bound and other measures that make German manufacturing a world leader. Maybe we could use a little of this kind of failure.

World leaders shouldn’t give Iran the time of day

Iran’s leaders are defying U.N. resolutions and world opinion by continuing to develop nuclear weapons while issuing frequent threats to destroy Israel.

Tough sanctions and diplomatic isolation of Iran may be the only peaceful ways to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons state.

By attending the NonAligned Movement Summit in Tehran on Aug. 26, world leaders and the U.N. Secretary General are sabotaging these peaceful efforts to stop Iran’s

Any leader who shakes hands with Ahmadinejad is condoning his anti-Semitic attacks on Israel and the Jewish people.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. If faced with opposition from others, abide by what your inner feelings tell you is the right thing to do. The important thing is not to respond in a manner that is offensive.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Sometimes it’s smart to follow an intuition or a hunch, but if your logic and common sense are telling you to do otherwise, follow their lead.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. There is a strong chance that you could place your trust in an acquaintance whom you know from experience isn’t too reliable. If havoc results, you’ll have only yourself to blame.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Should you come up with a bright idea for an improvement, just be careful that you don’t destroy the good that was already there in the process.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Normally you’re a disciplined person who tries to be careful about expressing yourself. If this caution is not in effect, you could blurt out something offensive.

Don’t be chicken; protest correctly Dan Cathy’s beliefs and actions are wrong and inconsistent with American ideals — people should have the right to pursue happiness by any means, including marrying someone of their own sex. However, there is no legal basis by which New Yorkers can evict Chick-fil-A from this city; the company has the right to establish a business here as long as it abides by the laws and regulations of New York. Many people (including myself ) may want Chick-fil-A gone, but even this homophobic chicken has the right to cluck wherever it wants. So stop Chickfil-A the right way: Sign a petition, organize a protest, or boycott the store.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. Unless you take your duties and responsibilities seriously, chances are they’ll end up plaguing you well into next week. You can hide, but you can’t escape.

Gemini May 21-June 20. An associate at work might try to take credit for one of your ideas when you’re not looking. Be prepared to speak up and let the truth be known the minute you hear about it.

Cancer June 21-July 22. If you find yourself involved in a joint endeavor that requires more funding than anyone anticipated, don’t think you have to stay the course. Pull out as quickly as possible.

Jimmy Rollins was back in the Phillies’ lineup Thursday, one day after coming under fire for not running hard on a groundout.

Phils skipper Charlie Manuel admitted that he considered benching Rollins.

“I thought about it a little bit until I talked to him, and he seemed like he was fine,” Manuel told CSNPhilly. “I felt like I had a real good talk with him, and we’ll go from there.”

Radio announcer Larry Andersen called Rollins out on air as he casually jogged down the first-base line Wednesday night.

The shortstop also got into a back and forth with a fan on Twitter over the incident.

Thomas retires as Philadelphia Eagle Not many defensive ends could break Tra Thomas down. But as the Eagles paid tribute to the greatest left tackle in franchise history, Thomas broke himself down.

The tears started flowing as Thomas retired as an Eagle at the NovaCare Complex.

“I tell everybody that the

happiest day of my football career was being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. The saddest day was when I left,” Thomas said. “That has been erased by this right here; being able to retire a Philadelphia Eagle.”

Thomas spent 11 of his 12 NFL seasons with the Eagles.

He was voted the team’s alltime left tackle when the Birds celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2007.

“I saw him grow from a little college kid that was 6-foot, 8 inches to this mature father and husband,” coach Andy Reid said. “I am very proud of him for that.”

Reid recalled a story from Thomas’ rookie season, when the tackle asked the coach what he could improve on.

“I said, ‘Not much. You’re pretty good [so] just keep a level head.’ There were a couple little fundamental things, but there wasn’t a whole lot.”

Practice ends early for two Patriots J-Roll, Manuel clear the air

WEEKEND, AUGUST 17-19, 2012

Bill Belichick doesn’t mess around, not even in the preseason.

The Patriots coach kicked two players — WR Julian Edelman, LB Niko Koutouvides — out of Thursday’s practice after the teammates got into a fight. Belichick had reportedly warned his team, which had seen three fights in the past two days, that the next players starting a fight would be tossed.

Meanwhile, RB Stevan Ridley left practice early with an apparent hamstring injury.

METRO

Owens set to make debut Terrell Owens is slated to make his return to the NFL Saturday night.

The former Eagles receiver will enter the game “early” when the Seahawks take on the Broncos. He appears to be battling another veteran, Braylon Edwards, for a spot on the final roster.

“I’m not going to tell you how many plays it will be,” coach Pete Carroll told the Seattle Times. “We’ll see how it goes, but he’s going to play pretty early in the game.” METRO

Third-year cornerback seeing more reps due to Birds injured secondary Asomugha, Marsh, Hanson leave practice Hughes may start Monday If Brandon Hughes is starting Monday night, he’s certainly not telling anyone.

Hughes, plucked off the Giants practice squad in 2010, has always been high on Andy Reid’s radar. He played in 13 games last season, making one start and recording 13 tackles. Now, with Nnamdi Asomugha (neck) and Curtis Marsh (hamstring) nursing injuries, Hughes is the likely choice to step in and fill the void Monday in New England.

“I can’t speak on that,” Hughes said, when asked if he would start Monday. “You prepare to play, you prepare that if somebody goes down or somebody can’t go, that you can step in and do the job.”

Asomugha left Thursday’s practice with soreness in his neck, an injury related to the brutal hit he took earlier in the week. Marsh jogged off near the end of Thursday’s session, while nickel corner Joselio Hanson also exited with a dislocated finger.

QB shuffle

Foles

ON TV MONDAY Eagles at Patriots, 8 p.m. (ESPN)

Brandon Hughes may get a chance to start Monday night against New England due to injuries.

With Mike Kafka hurt, Andy Reid will list Nick Foles as his No. 2 QB and Trent Edwards No. 3 vs. New England.

Birds starters amped for Monday night

Reid on Foles: “He’s a pretty sharp kid, very diligent, works hard, and all of those things. We’ve got a load of plays in for him and he’s able to recite those properly.”

Reid on Edwards: “Every day it looks like his arm has gotten a little bit stronger. He’s got a great attitude throughout this whole thing, even when he wasn’t getting many reps.”

Andy Reid will play his starting unit for the first half Monday — and maybe into the third quarter.

The Eagles are treating the Patriots game as their last dress rehearsal before the regular season begins on Sept. 9 in Cleveland. For an offense that offered two three-and-outs in last

If Hughes does get promoted, he would be expected to take Asomugha’s role, which could mean covering All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Hughes has seen most of his work on the outside, spending the majority of his time with the Eagles in dime packages.

“When we got no dime, I’m usually the guy that steps inside,” Hughes said.

Either way, he’s ready.

“Anytime you can step on the field, whether it’s at practice or whether it’s a game, it’s an opportunity, no matter who you go against,” he said.

“There’s 31 teams, you don’t play all 31 but when you get an opportunity to go up against a guy in this league, it’s an opportunity.”

week’s opener, Monday can’t come soon enough.

“We want to be as precise as we can be with getting in and out of the huddle, the tempo, and just get a feel for where we’re at most importantly,” said Mike Vick, who went 3-of-4 for just six yards last week.

“I think it’s a good test playing against a good defense. They played in the Super Bowl last year, so we’ll have an opportunity to see where we stand.”

Union face crucial road test Sunday Chasing fifth postseason spot They’re down ‌ but not out.

It will be a long, uphill climb for the Union to secure its second consecutive playoff berth.

However, the trek isn’t insurmountable.

The Union (7-12-2) are tied for next-to-last with the New England Revolution in the Eastern Conference. They’re 13 points behind DC United (11-83) for the fifth and final playoff spot in the East.

Ironically, the Union travel to D.C. Sunday night. If Philadelphia harbors any hope of competing in the postseason, a huge victory, on the road, is a great place to start.

DC United defeated Philadelphia, 1-0, on June 16 in interim manager John Hackworth’s debut in place of Peter Nowak. “If we go down and get three points at DC United, we are right back in the playoff race, depending on what some other teams do,� Hackworth said. “I said this a couple weeks

The Soul ranked No. 1 in the AFL in scoring (68.2), rushing offense (44.2), turnover margin (+23) under Plank last season. But the team dropped the title game to Arizona, 72-54. METRO

ago, that when we didn’t gain points, our other competitors didn’t gain points, either. “This year in the Eastern Conference, it’s a dogfight and a lot of that we can’t control because of where we are. The only thing we can really do is try to get three points at D.C. and see where that puts us.�

The Union have dropped consecutive matches to Montreal and Chicago. The players are keenly aware that picking up three points is vital. “Of course, we want to go to the playoffs, but we’ve dug ourselves a big hole and we have to get out of it now,� said Brian Carroll, who has appeared in the postseason in all nine previous MLS seasons. “It starts with this match against DC United.

We have to forget about the last two and focus in here on getting three points.�

Flyers extend fan favorite Simmonds with six-year deal

GETTY IMAGES

One day after taking a puck to the face — umm, he actually scored a goal with his money maker — Wayne Simmonds was back on the ice and starting fights. That would normally make you a fan favorite in this town. Then throw in the fact it was against the hated Penguins. Hero status.

And Flyers fans will have plenty of time to worship after Simmonds signed a six-year contract extension Thursday worth a reported $4 million per season.

“Wayne plays the game with courage and honor, and we believe he will continue to be a very good winger for our organization,” GM Paul Holmgren said in a statement.

Simmonds, who will turn

Simmonds turns 24 later this month.

24 on Aug. 26, set career highs last season in goals (28) and points (49).

“I’m extremely happy to have this deal in place,” Simmonds said. “We’re going to

have a good team in Philly for a long time and I just wanted to be able to be a part of hopefully bringing a championship back to the Philly faithful.”
