Miss Del. Teen USA resigns over porn allegations DELAWARE. Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King officially gave up her crown yesterday after a hard-core pornography video starring a woman who closely resembles the 18year-old surfaced on the Internet.

“I would like to confirm the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant has received a resignation letter from Miss King’s attorney,” a pageant spokeswoman said in a statement yesterday. She declined to elaborate.

A copy of the video, which was reportedly shot last June, surfaced on a porn site Monday.

Though King has previously denied the allegations, she posted a message on her Facebook profile the day after the video was uploaded. METRO

Cop in viral ‘parade punch’ video found not guilty, judge says District attorney says he disagrees with the judge’s decision Josey might want job back YOUTUBE

Judge Patrick Dugan found former Philadelphia police Lt. Jonathan Josey not guilty of simple assault yesterday during a nonjury trial.

Josey was dismissed from the force in October after he was recorded on a cell-phone camera striking 39-year-old Chester woman Aida Guzman in the face. District Attorney Seth Williams charged Josey the next month.

“I respect Judge Dugan’s decision, but I disagree with it,” Williams said in a statement responding to yesterday’s ruling. “Let’s be clear there were no winners on that day in September.”

The video, which was shot on Sept. 30 during a Puerto Rican Day Parade celebration at 5th Street and Lehigh Avenue, was uploaded to YouTube and quickly went viral.

Prosecutors said Josey was investigating a car that was creating hazardous roadway conditions when he punched the woman.

Josey claimed before the court that he accidentally struck Guzman while trying to swat a beer bottle from her hand she alleged-

ly refused to put down.

Guzman was originally charged with disorderly conduct, but the charges were dropped and Mayor Michael Nutter issued the woman an apology.

Josey will reportedly attempt to get his job back following today’s ruling.

“While I believe Jonathan Josey was guilty of simple assault, this is not the time to dwell on

that, and I hope as a community we can move past this,” Williams said.

“As I said three months ago when Jonathan Josey was arrested, my job as district attorney is to ensure that we only charge the right people with only the correct charges — nothing more, nothing less.”

Tax man. Cometh

Mayor Michael Nutter said during a news conference in October that he was “ashamed” and “sickened” by the behavior Josey showed on tape.

“The conduct seen on this video is particularly appalling and not the kind of conduct the Philadelphia Police Department expects from anyone, especially anyone in a supervisory position,” he said.

He extended an apology to Guzman on behalf of the city and police department. “She was injured and humiliated at the hands of someone who knows better or should have known better,” he said.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said the video “deeply troubled” him.

Hatboro man Edward Doyle, 28, who was on Sunday arrested for child welfare endangerment in connection with the death of his 2-month-old daughter Makayla, is now facing murder charges.

Doyle originally told officials he tripped while holding the child and fell on top of her. He said he then placed her in an infant swing.

He claimed the accident came after a long night of drinking and that he didn't realize the extent of Makayla's injuries until he awoke the next morning and found her “limp.”

But prosecutors yesterday said autopsy results of the baby's body tell a different story.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said the child suffered “so many skull fractures that, at this point, they haven't all been able to be counted yet.”

Ferman claimed Doyle killed Makayla during a “drunken rage.”

Forensic pathologist Isidore Mihalakis ruled the child’s death a homicide.

He said in addition to multiple broken ribs and skull fractures, Makayla suffered facial injuries consistent with her nose being pinched, apparently in an effort to hamper breathing.

Attorney says death was accidental

Doyle

Quoted

“Very simply, this horrific death of a 2-month-old baby was caused by multiple traumatic injuries.”D.A. RISA VETRI Mihalakis also viewed a video of Doyle demonstrating how he fell while holding Makayla and found the man's version of events to be incompatible with the child’s extensive injuries.

Doyle was yesterday arraigned on the additional charges and jailed without bail at the Montgomery County Correction Facility.

He is next due in court on March 5 for a preliminary hearing.

No charges for New Jersey ‘tanning mom’ NEW JERSEY. A state grand jury yesterday declined to indict 44-year-old Patricia Krentcil of Nutley, N.J., who has become widely known by nickname “tanning mom.”

Krentcil made national headlines after she was arrested in April 2012 and charged with endangering the welfare

Doyle's attorney Robert Hoopes said his client is in “great pain,” but he thinks a different picture of the man will emerge during trial.

“He did nothing intentional — it was an accident,” Hoopes said of Doyle.

Hoopes seemed to lay a good deal of the blame at the feet of Doyle’s wife, 30-year-old Nicole Lavelle. Hoopes claimed his client went out drinking Saturday night without knowing he was going to have to take care of his children when he returned.

“He came home and he and his wife had some sort of discussion and she went to a neighbor's apartment,” Hoopes said. “He went down to get her. When he got there, she says, “I’m not coming back.

You can take care of the kids.’”

Hoopes reasserted that Doyle picked up a crying Makayla to console her and then tripped and fell on top of the child as he attempted to walk to the kitchen and make a bottle.

of a child for allegedly bringing her 5-year-old daughter into an artificial sun bed.

It is illegal in the

state of New Jersey for children under the age of 14 to patronize tanning salons.

Police were notified after officials at the child’s school noticed burns on the her legs.

Krentcil insisted the marks came from the sun and claimed she never brought the child into a booth.

The decision yesterday means that Krentcil will no longer face child endangerment offenses and the case is now over.

Five months after he helps deliver baby, SEPTA cop catches fugitive RIKARD LARMA/METRO

On the clock, SEPTA officer Loyd Rodgers helped bring a baby into the world. Five months later, he caught a fugitive in Market East Station.

“I brought in an innocent life first,” said Rodgers, 53, “And then I took out the trash.”

On Monday, Rodgers brought Marvin Holmes, a Delaware man wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service, to justice. Holmes was wanted in his home state for violating his parole after he was charged with rape.

After he received a police alert flier for Holmes early last week, Rodgers recognized Holmes as a frequent visitor to the Gallery and SEPTA’s Market East Regional Rail Station.

It’s all in the approach.

“I didn’t want to spook him,” Rodgers said He casually asked the man to walk with him, then threw him against

Quoted

“He didn’t know all the information that I had on him, so he’s trying to plead his case and he was telling me, ‘I don’t understand, officer, why you had to do it this way because it’s only — I’m an escapee from a halfway house.’”

Rodgers is becoming a regular in the news.

the wall and slapped on the cuffs, Rodgers said.

Now when they see him, locals stop the 6-foot2-inch former basketball player at Market East and pump his hand and call

him a hero.

“Without the cape,” he says with a smile.

In October, Rodgers and another officer spotted a 22-year-old woman gliding up an escalator at the Olney Transportation Center holding a baby covered in a milky substance with an umbilical cord attached. They comforted the mother, wrapped the baby in a sweatshirt and called for help.

They both brought joy, he said.

“Birthing a child is pure joy,” Rodgers said.

“Catching the perp is joy to others, ‘cause he’s off the streets.”

Encore?

“Something on the terrorist level, spoil some kind of terrorist attack,” he said, referring to his ideal next heroic moment. “That would be national.”

Obama: Washington stalemate over cuts puts jobs on the line

In the news GETTY IMAGES

President Barack Obama traveled to the Navy’s sole builder of aircraft carriers to drive home his argument that his political foes and their constituents will be among the hardest hit by spending cuts that start March 1.

Obama used the backdrop of the shipyard of Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. in Newport News, Va., to emphasize the effect on defense industry jobs if $85 billion in automatic budget cuts for the remaining seven months of the fiscal year kick in as scheduled on March 1. With 21,000 workers, the facility is Virginia’s biggest manufacturing employer.

“The impact of this policy won’t be felt overnight, but it will be real,” Obama said yesterday. “It’s not just restricted to the defense industry.”

Boehner staged a preemptive news conference in Washington earlier yesterday where the Ohio Republican accused Obama of using the military as a “prop” to promote tax increases. He said the House won’t act until the Democratic majority in the Senate “gets off their ass” to pass a fiscal plan.

With three days to go before the spending reductions known as sequestration begin, there was no public sign that the White House and congressional Republicans are in negotiations on an alternative fiscal plan. BLOOMBERG

Pentagon plans to tap potential of mobile devices WASHINGTON. The Pentagon unveiled a plan yesterday to ultimately enable the Defense Department’s 600,000 users of smartphones, computer tablets and other mobile devices to rapidly share classified and protected data using the latest commercial technologies.

The system aims to quickly enable the latest technologies to be securely used by the military while remaining “device agnostic,” said Major General Robert Wheeler, a Defense Department deputy chief information officer.

That sets the stage for

an intensified struggle for Pentagon customers among BlackBerry devices, Apple’s iPhones or iPads, and units using Google’s Android platform.

The Defense Department currently has more than 600,000 mobile device users, including 470,000 with BlackBerries, 41,000 who have Apple operating systems and 8,700 who use Android devices.

A warning label reports lead in gasoline.

Autism symptoms correspond to the level of toxic metal in the blood, with exposure to lead particularly harmful, according to a U.S. study.

Autism sufferers carried 74 percent more lead in their systems than control subjects, and 115 percent more tin. Sufferers with more severe symptoms carried higher concentrations of metal, with researchers at Arizona State University finding that toxic metal was the “strongest factor” in determining severity.

“We knew that exposure to lead makes people lose IQ points, and clearly it can induce autism,” lead researcher Professor James Adams said. “The study also showed that people with the highest levels are least able to excrete them.”

Autism was previously thought to be largely a hereditary condition, but environmental and chemical reasons are now being accepted. “Studies such as this improve our understanding,” said Caroline Hattersley, head of information and advice at the U.K.-based National Autism Society, calling for “more research ... across a greater geographical area.”

Pope Benedict was praying and packing yesterday, one day before his move out of the Vatican and into retirement, where he will assume the title of “pope emeritus” and still be referred to as “your holiness.”

The Vatican said Benedict was spending a day in the apostolic palace with no audiences.

“Today is a day dedicated to prayer and preparation for the events of the next two days,” Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said.

Lombardi said the pope was sifting through documents to see which will remain in the Vatican and go into the archives of his papacy and deciding which “are of a personal nature and which he will take to his new residence.”

Among the documents left for the next pope will be a confidential report by three cardinals into the “Vatileaks” affair last year when Benedict’s former butler leaked private papers revealing corruption and in-fighting inside the Vatican.

The practicing didn’t help. When she breathlessly whispered, “It came true!” when she held her Oscar for the first time, social media erupted with simultaneous vomiting. The vitriol was so outstanding that Lena Dunham tweeted: “Ladies: Anne

Hathaway is a feminist and she has amazing teeth.

Trousers looking very ’80s, sleeves very fancy Milan Fashion Week has closed but it’s worth devoting some ink to the smattering of oddly impractical looks that

showed. Among all of the perfectly sensible oversized coats and knee-length dresses, there’s been a range of looks that are kind of dressy (but not quite suitable enough for cocktail events) or kind of cold-weather appropriate — but weirdly not at the same time. Case in point: Marni’s strapless, bare-shouldered daytime looks, which came with giant, fur stoles.

And then there was Etro’s inyour-face, hyper-graphic separates, which would only

make sense in the closet of magazine editors, bloggers, stylists and anyone else regularly featured on street-style websites and blogs. A lot of the daytime options look as if they were designed with an end result of a Tommy Ton slideshow in mind.

Relaxed and easy: Oversized pants at Emporio Armani So far, the new shape for fall ’13 is slightly oversized and slouchy. Trousers, in particular, have been loose and roomy. Sometimes they’ve come with a little pleating on top — very ’80s —which is not always easy to wear.

But the general idea, as seen in shows such as Emporio Armani, Sportmax and Blumarine, is fluid and easy — good news for all of you used to last season’s laidback pajama pants.

Hyper-graphic: Etro Prints have been around for a while now. We’ve mixed them, clashed them and matched them from head to toe. So there’s nowhere else to take them but to a more extreme place. Think of an acid trip transplanted onto a dress like the ones that walked at Iceberg, Just Cavalli and Etro.

The arm as focal point: Dolce & Gabbana Last winter, fashion seemed to revolve around the waist, with its plethora of cinched, belted and tied coats and dresses. But the arms seem to be ruling now, thanks to the elaborate sleeves that have been on show.

A ‘TITANIC’ LEGACY

MICHAEL AND SUZ KARCHMER

Playwright brings new perspective to the famed ship’s lore by mixing comedy, tragedy

E

ver since James Cameron’s blockbuster romance “Titanic� tipped over the box office record for highest-grossing film in 1997, the legacy of the real luxury liner has been submerged. Bobbing on the surface and in plain view have been the beautiful faces of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

While Americans might be fine sticking with the Hollywood version, Ireland has sat on an uncomfortable viewpoint — that of the country that built a monument, only to watch it sink. Belfast, a Northern Ireland city with a long history of shipbuilding, christened the Titanic and has struggled with its memory since. According to Irish playwright Bernard McMullan, when asked by tourists why his countrymen built such a crappy ship, the typical response is a gruff and defensive “It was fine when it left here.�

McMullan channels Belfast’s struggle with the ship’s legacy in his play “Jimmy Titanic,� a oneman show that was acclaimed in New York City last fall and is opening in

If you go ‘Jimmy Titanic’ Feb. 27 to March 10 2nd Stage at the Adrienne 2030 Sansom St. $18-$25 www.tirnatheatre.org

Quoted

“We wanted to put the Titanic tragedy into context in terms of other disasters that have happened since and to address the question as to why its story has captured the imagination so much.� MCMULLAN

Colin Hamell plays 20 characters in “Jimmy Titanic,� opening at the Adrienne tonight.

Philadelphia this week.

But despite outsized memories of “Titanic� the movie, McMullan’s goal is modest. “We wanted to put the Titanic tragedy into context in terms of other disasters that have happened since and to ad-

dress the question as to why its story has captured the imagination so much,� he says.

The story is told in part through the guise of Irish shipbuilder and crewman Jimmy Boylan, who has ascended to heaven. Boylan

has mixed feelings about his ship and struggles with the super-celebrity status afforded him as a “victim of an historical event.� The play’s star and sole actor, Colin Hamell, morphs into 20 different characters to flesh out scenes taking

place in both heaven and in Boylan’s memory.

Though comedy is the play’s mainstay, it stops short of poking fun at the tragedy itself. “It was really important for us to inject humor into what is essentially a tragic tale, and I

think we have done that to a great degree while at the same time remaining respectful to the memory of those who lost their lives,�

McMullan says.

Now and later

‘Golden Boy’ puts a twist on the typical cop procedural Theo James plays a rookie destined to become police commissioner The folks behind “Golden Boy” are hoping TV audiences are in the mood for some high-concept plotting with their cop procedurals. It’s an ambitious story, to be sure, framed by interviews from seven years in the future when Walter Clark Jr. (Theo James) has become the youngest police commissioner in New York City history. Each episode in the first season then jumps back to his first year as a homicide detective working with a gruff older partner (Chi McBride).

But just how plausible is it that a hot-shot young detective could become police commissioner so quickly? “You know, the police commissioner is an appointment,” says executive producer Nicholas

Tune in “Golden Boy” airs next Tuesday on CBS before moving to Friday.

Wootton. “It’s not an elected position, and it is not something you have to take a test for. Some people are more suited to the job, clearly, as we’ve seen in the last many years, and then others are, you know, presently in jail.”

And just what kind of commissioner the main character on “Golden Boy” becomes is part of the fun of the show, Wootton explains. “You will see, as we continue forth in the series, that he is quite political,” he says. “You see instances in the future where he is kind of devi-

ous. We see him learning the lessons that Chi’s character teaches him. There’s a way to be. And then we see him learn things that are completely politically vicious. There’s no real element of the Clark character having any sense of, ‘I want to be the police commissioner’ [from the start].

That is something that is going to evolve hopefully in later seasons, should we be so fortunate. But you see the sort of elements that are clicking into place that is going to take him to become the man he is.

He is by far not the nicest guy in the world when he becomes the commissioner.”

Wootton admits they’ve been very careful about depicting life in the not-todistant future, finding a

familiar Avid TV fans may recognize “Golden Boy” star Theo James from an early and pivotal episode of “Downton Abbey” in which he played dashing and doomed Turkish diplomat Kemal Pamuk, who famously died while in bed with Lady Mary

“When I did the show, I kind of felt like it was going to be a big deal. It felt like it was a quality production,” James remembers. “But I mean, I’m onscreen for about 20 minutes, and I still get people going, ‘Mr. Pamuk!’”

Bryan Singer takes on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Giantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job: Kid stuff

W

DANIEL SMITH

ith â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack the Giant Slayer,â&#x20AC;? director Bryan Singer finds himself facing a whole new audience: kids. But while he admits the film has gone through a softening in both its title and the amount of onscreen violence, Singer insists heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digging playing for the younger crowd. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more excited about getting back into the XMen franchise with the currently in-development â&#x20AC;&#x153;X-Men: Days of Future Past.â&#x20AC;?

It felt like there was a more violent version of this movie just a few frames away. Was there a lot you had to change to scale it back for a family-friendly audience?

A change that I wish couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in there is when [a giant] picks up [Ewan Bremner] and bites

Q&A Can you talk about how â&#x20AC;&#x153;Days of Future Pastâ&#x20AC;? will mix actors from the different time periods of the [X-Men] franchise?

Um, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about that, but it does!

[Laughs] So I am able to accommodate both casts in a really fun and interesting way, a really cool way. I love the actors in the new cast, and as a

I thought it was kind of funny. I sat and watched it in a theater full of 7-yearolds, 8-year-olds, and they were [screaming], but you

know, nobody walked out.

But there was just so much fear on the part of the studio, and I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All right, fine. Cut the few frames.â&#x20AC;? But I think the kids couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken it.

producer I was instrumental in casting them, but I never had the opportunity to work with them as director, so I get to do that now. And in the development of the script, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting. Stuff comes to me a lot faster than it does on other films. So either itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about the [X-Men] universe that I get more than other things, or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more experienced and I have an instinct about it.

With this movie it has been fun. I love testing, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great experience. The kid behind me was kicking my seat, he was laughing so hard. But at first it can be intimidating, I guess.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hoarding: Buried Aliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; REALITY. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get

enough of this voyeuristic reality show. Peer into the lives of real people whose homes are jam-packed with junk/metaphors for emotional emptiness.

9 p.m., TLC

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;American Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

YouTubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest code now includes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;paid channelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GETTY IMAGES

Television may look to YouTube to sponsor shows with niche audiences $1 to $5 per month subscription fees

How it works

REALITY. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to

know that one of these people really could be the next Ruben Studdard. Are these people part hydrogen and plasma? Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re what stars are made of. 8 p.m., Fox

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Modern Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; COMEDY. Elizabeth Banks returns as Mitch and Camâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s train-wrecky best friend. Will they fit the bill as the best men in her impulsive, lastminute nuptials?

9 p.m., ABC NATALIE SHURE

Code found in YouTubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent app update suggests that Google may be working on pay-to-view channels.

Spotted by Android Police, the code mentions subscribing and unsubscribing from paid YouTube channels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a function that will apparently only be available on the Web, not in YouTubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile app.

Rumors have circulated for some time that Google was considering paid channels on YouTube; the stray code in the app update all but confirms that rumor.

In January, AdAge reported that Google had

reached out to a small number of channel producers, asking them to submit applications and create channels that users would have to pay to access, in most cases to the tune of $1 to $5 per month.

In response to the AdAge story in January, a YouTube representative told Mashable, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have long maintained that different content requires different types of payment models. The important thing is that, regardless of the model, our creators succeed on the platform.

There are a lot of our content creators that think

Will you one day have to pay to watch â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gangnam Styleâ&#x20AC;??

(And perhaps more importantly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would you?)

they would benefit from subscriptions, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at that.â&#x20AC;?

The company has previously discussed the possibility of offering pay-to-view channels as a way for television networks to continue to broadcast shows that

might not be bringing in enough cash to exist on cable networks, but have a passionate and dedicated audience.

EMILY PRICE FOR

Right now, this effort is being billed as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;experiment,â&#x20AC;? but it's one that YouTube reps have been suggesting for a long time.

YouTubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO Salar Kamangar teased the idea multiple times last year and noted during the Reuters Media and Technology Summit in June that it had â&#x20AC;&#x153;seen demand from the kind of networks that have smaller audiences on cable.â&#x20AC;?

By effectively launching a la carte and pay-per-view options for consuming video content, YouTube would likely bring in more money from ad dollars and a cut of the subscription revenue.

Plant-based diets

Calcium supplements and heart risks Location of study: U.S. Study subjects: 388,229 adults ages of 50 to 71 Results: A 12-year study found that the men who took daily calcium supplements of 1,000 milligrams or more were 20 percent more likely to die of heartrelated causes than those who did not take a calcium supplement.

SigniďŹ cance: The researchers think an overdose of calcium could cause a build-up in the arteries and veins. The results are part of a larger study of the symbiotic relationship between magnesium and calcium during metabolism.

Moms and dads: You might want to keep your lips sealed about your wild past.

eighth grades Results: A University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign study published in the journal â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human Communication Researchâ&#x20AC;? found that children whose parents talked to them about alcohol, cigarettes

and marijuana were more likely to be against drugs.

But those whose parents who told their kids about their own past drug use produced more positive views about using drugs.

SigniďŹ cance: The findings show how much children

Location of study: U.S. Study subjects: 7,447 individuals ages 55-80, at a high risk for cardiovascular disease Results: Research from the sixth International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition hosted by Loma Linda University Health in California states that eating a plant-based Mediterranean diet that includes nuts or virgin olive oil can slash heart disease risk by 30 percent.

SigniďŹ cance: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Mediterranean diet offers a preventive efficacy that was also assessed on secondary variables, including death from all causes, and incidence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome,â&#x20AC;? says Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Miguel Angel Martinez, one of the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead investigators.

Want to espouse the diet for yourself? Start incorporating more fresh produce, seafood, whole grains and nutritious fats, like walnuts and olive oil, into your meals. METRO/LC

How to properly choose sneakers

he head boneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connected to the neck bone, the neck boneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connected to the back bone, and so on.

This little ditty you sang as a kid carries an important message: Our body parts work in conjunction with one another. What starts at our feet, therefore, can influence how the rest of our body behaves. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why proper footwear is an important foundation for staying injury-free.

We enlisted Dr. Andrew Sands, the chief of foot and ankle surgery at New York Downtown Hospital, to give us some tips on choosing a good pair of sneakers that can carry us from treadmills to trails, and everything in between.

What can wearing the wrong sneakers do to your health?

Sneakers now have different areas of support for differently shaped feet. If someone does not know, for example, that they have a high arched foot, and [they buy] something that exaggerates that high arch, it can lead to injuries such as stress fractures or ankle sprains.

If [your shoes have] cheap materials and poor construction, and you walk all day on concrete, it can lead to pain, overload syndromes or stress fractures. I see many people with problems from wearing cheap sneakers. On a different subject, if someone has diabetes and develops foot insensitivity, cheap sneakers can lead to ulcers and other deformi-

Ideally, you should know what you need before you go to the store. I always recommend a sneaker that has width sizing, like Brooks. A good salesperson will measure your feet with a BRANNOCK [shoe sizing] device. Manufacturers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a standard sizing criterion, especially womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go by what you think is your number. Go by the proper fit: one finger space beyond the toe, and the width should be wider than your foot.

The size you were in college is not your current shoe size. Your feet change shape, especially after giving birth. The hormones that allow the baby to come out also allow your foot ligaments to spread and lengthen.

ties. Sneakers that are too small (short) cause bunions, stiff first toes and hammer toes.

What should you look for when buying sneakers?

It depends on the shape of your foot. And often salesmen donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. A visit with a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle surgery will give you information that will guide you in choosing. Sometimes a visit to a certified pedorthist is needed to craft a special insert. Your orthopedic surgeon will give you a prescription if needed.

What is a more expensive pair of sneakers oďŹ&#x20AC;ering that a cheaper pair isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?

The more expensive sneakers might be made in the USA, which is important for some people. Also, the materials tend to be better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the shoes might be sewed instead of glued and there might be a removable insert. Avoid seam lines over bunions, as seam lines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stretch.

Some shoes are overkill for everyday walkers. METRO

enjoyed reading your Oscars coverage, but would like to point out an error of yours. I’m an Oscar fan of 50 years! I know my stats.

You stated that the last time there was an Oscar tie it was the Streisand/Hepburn Best Actress tie in 1968. That is incorrect. In 1995 there was a tie in the Short Film, Live Action category: “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life” tied with “Trevor.” And the Streisand/Hepburn award was presented in 1969, not 1968.

article and recent letters, I sent copies to a French friend for his input as someone on the scene. This is his response: “As a Frenchman living in France and getting poorer and poorer every day, I say don’t you write about what you don’t know about! You’re not aware of what’s going on in France today. When Mr. Holand got elected as president, the unemployment was 8 percent and now it’s 11 percent and rising.

Factories are closing all over the nation, wealthy people are moving out, VAT are going up — and you are saying everything is going well in France? We are even sent a bill if we have an antenna on the roof to tax broadcast TV. Like yours, our government is borrowing money so the next generation will have to pay for today’s spending!”

Kendrick strong in two solid innings Phillies record first win of Grapefruit League season But offense struggles once again

GETTY IMAGES

SPORTS@METRO.US GOT AN OPINION? SEND US YOUR THOUGHTS

Kyle Kendrick caught the bleak Gulf Coast forecast.

There was a chance that his initial spring training start would be rained out.

“I was going to be really upset [if the game was postponed],” Kendrick said yesterday. “I felt like that little-league kid. I used to cry when games were rained out. I was happy. I was excited.”

Kendrick gave up a run in two strong innings.

Like Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay, he attacked the plate.

“I was throwing mostly strikes,” Kendrick said.

“But I feel confident heading into the spring. I’m looking forward to the season. I want to build up from last year, and I hope to get us into the playoffs.”

This is the first season since 2008 that Kendrick enters spring training with a spot locked up in the starting rotation.

“It’s nice,” Kendrick said. “I know people know that I can get the job done.

It’s nice to be in a routine every day when I go to the ballpark.”

The Phillies won their first game of the

Kendrick allowed one run on three hits in his Grapefruit League opener yesterday.

He went 11-12 with a 3.90 ERA in 2012, including a 20-plus-inning scoreless streak.

Grapefruit campaign yesterday, edging the New York Yankees, 4-3, but the offense is scuffling after four games. The Phillies didn’t get their first hit until Ryan Howard singled with two outs in the fourth inning.

The Phils managed just five hits, but two were

long homers — one by Domonic Brown, another

by Tommy Joseph.

Brown’s second homer of the spring was a titanic shot that traveled more than 450 feet and cleared the batter’s eye. Brown fouled off a pair of 0-2 fastballs before he went yard.

“I feel really good,”

Brown said. “I’m not trying to do anything extra with my swing. I’m trying to be patient and just put good wood on the ball. I’m not trying to over-swing. If I hit the ball right, it’s going to travel.”

sports@metro.us

There was a semi-panic yesterday when Chase Utley’s name didn’t appear on Charlie Manuel’s lineup card.

Rest assured, Phillies fans — it isn’t anything to worry about. Utley was held out due to wet conditions on the diamond. Kevin Frandsen started at second base against the Yankees.

Before the Phillies opened exhibition play, Manuel admitted he would be watching Utley closely — and trying to avoid playing him in back-to-back games.

Utley played Saturday, rested Sunday, then was back out there Monday.

Utley is 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in two games. METRO/EC

Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA power rankings | by Jimmy Toscano

PACERS (35-21)

The Pacers are somewhat keeping â&#x20AC;&#x153;paceâ&#x20AC;? with the Heat over the last 11 games, going 9-2 in that span.

7

Can we bottle up everything about Kenneth Faried and give it to every NBA player? It would make for some intense games.

SPURS (45-13)

The Spurs finish their nine-game road trip with a 7-2 record, and they win games despite fighting injuries. Health is the only issue for this team.

2

8

HEAT (40-14)

They have 11 wins in a row, seven of which have come by double digits.

Is that good? Not for the rest of the NBA.

3

NUGGETS (36-22)

THUNDER (41-15)

A 30-point beat down of Bulls is comforting. But why sign Derek Fisher a few hours later? Do they need?

4

KNICKS (33-20)

The Knicks have one win against a playoff team in February.

They are fading â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fast. Is anybody surprised?

It looked like the wheels fell off for the Warriors after six straight losses. But a comeback win over the Spurs was huge.

Would Kevin Garnett put them over the top? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know. But they have as good a chance as any team to win a title.

Van Riemsdyk thriving for Maple Leafs The NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth-leading goal scorer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t record a point Monday night in the Maple Leafsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4-2 win over the Flyers. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind one bit.

Then again, James van Riemsdyk is used to winning games at the Wells Fargo Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us too many chances, but we were able to win the game and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what matters,â&#x20AC;? said JVR, who has erupted for 11 goals since being traded to Toronto last summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely feels good to get this one out of the way and move forward.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, the most hectic moment for the Leafs came courtesy of JVR, when he was called for two penalties during the same Flyers possession late in the third period.

ON TV TODAY Capitals at Flyers, 7:30 p.m. (NBCSN)

Jake Voracek promptly scored on the first power play, cutting it to 3-2, before the Leafs killed off the second man disadvantage, then iced it with a late, empty-net goal.

No one breathed a deeper sigh of relief than van Riemsdyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an uneasy feeling in there,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the boys did a great job on the kill. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad they bailed me out there.â&#x20AC;?

And in the process assured it would a happy homecoming to his old stomping grounds for James van Riemsdyk.

The old Broad Street Armory is being replaced with new apartments Developer says units will be ‘light and airy’ The proposed look of for the new apartment building is modern, with large expanses of glass. with lots glass

South Broad Street is preparing for a face-lift.

The historic Broad Street Armory — which developers have deemed to be beyond repair — will be torn down, and in its place Landmark Architectural Design plans to put up a six-story apartment building. The current blueprint calls for each apartment to feature two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms.

“There will be large expanses of glass, which make the units light and airy,” says Landmark owner Vincent Mancini. The new building, which is set to be completed in two

years, is right near the Ellsworth-Federal subway stop. For the drivers, Mancini promises “ample parking” in an on-site outdoor parking lot, with one spot for each of the 50 or so apartments.

Along with the design of the apartments, Mancini shared his love for the neighborhood. “It’s a fantastic area, and I’m not just saying that because I’m from around here,” he says. “You’re a stone’s throw from Center City, you can walk to the stadiums, and you’ve got the Italian Market right nearby.”

EXIT BENCHMARK REALTY

One thing his company is not doing, though, is adding a new retailer to the neighborhood. Unlike many new construction projects, the first floor of the building will not be used as commercial property. Instead, it will be an extension of the building’s own design, with a greenleaning draw — think gardens and fountains. “We want to put our best foot

forward,” says Mancini.

“We don’t want to rely on a retailer on the first floor to make it look appealing.”

Mancini cites Landmark’s lead designer, Agata Reister, as the person who has sorted out everything that’s needed for the project. “We get thrown a lot of information, and we need to evaluate that so we know how this will work with the

neighborhood. Agata has been a critical part of the process,” he says. And who exactly will these apartments be made for?

Mancini says that it’s a varying demographic, but we know this much: The two-bedroom units will run you anywhere from $1,500 to $2,900 monthly.
