Chaos. Will Philly see a return of the flash mobs this summer?

The weather’s getting warmer, and some investigators fear flash mobs may again be forming in Philadelphia.

Police arrested 14 people Tuesday after a Center City brawl some officials are calling a “mob incident.” Police arrived around 4 p.m. and found about 200 people gathered.

Eleven boys and three girls were arrested, according to investigators. All but four of the suspects are under 18 years old.

Ten juveniles are charged with conspiracy, obstructing highways, failure to disperse and disorderly conduct. Four 18-year-olds face the same offenses. METRO

Busted. ‘Fake doctor’ ran clinic with no licensed practitioners

Gross. City controller says parks are wrecks, hazards everywhere

Police yesterday arrested reputed fake doctor Patrick Usanga, of Folcroft, Pa., for allegedly operating Northeast Behavioral Medicine without a license and collecting unemployment the entire time.

Prosecutors said not only was Usanga not a real doctor, but no employees at the practice were licensed caregivers.

Usanga allegedly collected more than $55,000 in unemployment between 2009 and 2011, though records show he treated patients and received payment then.

Authorities said he submitted multiple extended benefit forms claiming he was looking for work at Northeast Behavioral Medicine — the same facility he himself operated.

A report from City Controller Alan Butkovitz suggests parents may want to think twice before sending kids to play at city rec centers and playgrounds this summer.

Butkovitz said half of the 28 facilities reviewed had fire hazards, including fire exits locked and blocked with large

objects and empty fire extinguishers. Half the sites also had water damage.

“These hazards and conditions can cause serious injury and harm to our children,” Butkovitz said in a statement.

“Management and staff must take all safety measures, especially ensuring that exits are easily accessible.” METRO

A crowd of faces from all backgrounds watched a parade of young, old and passionate African-Americans plead for the preservation of black studies at Temple University yesterday.

“We’re going to do whatever it takes to preserve the dignity and respect of our department,” said Christina Harris, a doctoral student of the subject.

Students rallied at the bell tower between 13th and 12th streets on Berks St./Polett Walk and expressed a lack of leadership and direction in the liberal arts college will lead to the scaling back of the depart-

ment’s influence and impact.

“It’s definitely being marginalized,” said Tyree Boyd, 24, a black studies master’s student.

Ronald Armour, who’s lived in the North Philadelphia community for several years, sweated through his white shirt while speaking to the crowd.

“It’s very good when I can see students, the next generation, standing up,” he said.

Obama. Budget aims to kick-start deficit reduction talks President Barack Obama proposed a $3.77 trillion budget yesterday that combines controversial cuts to social safety net programs with tax increases on the wealthy.

The package is meant to lure Republicans to negotiate a broad deficitreduction plan, but the details mirror a proposal Obama laid out last year that was rejected by Republican leaders.

Obama’s budget for fiscal year 2014, which begins on October 1, would trim the deficit over three years by requiring people making more than $1 million

annually to pay more in taxes while enacting spending cuts that would replace the “sequester” reductions that went into place last month.

It has little chance of becoming law.

Many Republicans reject Obama’s push for tax increases and many Democrats oppose cuts to the popular Social Security retirement program.

But both sides want to lower the deficit, which Obama’s budget projected would fall to 744 billion in 2014.

Quoted

“So, in the coming days and weeks, I hope that Republicans will come forward and demonstrate that they’re really as serious ... about the deficits and debt as they claim to be.”

Key senators announce deal on background checks Gun violence.

A proposal for expanded background checks appears to be Obama’s best hope for gun-control legislation.

Two key senators announced a breakthrough deal yesterday to expand background checks for gun buyers, boosting prospects that the Senate will approve at least some of President Barack Obama’s proposed gun restrictions.

The agreement by Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania sets the stage for a Senate debate on a gun-control package starting today, when the Democrat-led chamber is expected to defeat conser-

More controversial parts of Obama’s plan — such as a ban on rapid-firing “assault” weapons — appear to have a slim chance of clearing the Senate. / GETTY IMAGES

vative Republican efforts to block the bill from even reaching a vote.

Manchin and Toomey said their measure would expand criminal background checks for prospective gun buyers to include sales made at gun shows and online, closing a ma-

jor loophole in a system that analysts say allows as many as 40 percent of gun buyers to avoid checks.

But the agreement, designed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill, left significant exemptions for

“temporary transfers” of weapons or private sales among friends and family members. No background checks would be required in such transactions. Other parts of Obama’s proposal have a slim chance of clearing the Senate.

Hurricane Sandy is believed to have directly killed at least 147 people, 72 of them in the U.S., according to the center. An additional 87 people died in the aftermath, the center said. / GETTY IMAGES

An above-average number of storms will emerge from the Atlantic this hurricane season, and the odds of the U.S. being hit by a major system are about 70 percent greater than predicted last year, Colorado State University researchers said.

Eighteen named storms will develop in 2013, the CSU forecasters said yesterday in their initial seasonal outlook.

Nine of the systems are expected to become hur-

ricanes, four of them major systems of Category 3 or higher with winds of at least 111 miles per hour.

The CSU team estimated the chances of a major hurricane strike on the U.S. this year at 72 percent, compared with 42 percent last year. Sandy, which devastated parts of New York and New Jersey in October, had winds of Category 1 level.

“We think we will have a pretty active season here,” said William Gray, professor emeritus of atmospheric science at the Fort Collins, Col., university, who pioneered longrange hurricane forecasting 30 years ago. “Things are just looking good.”

For the past three years, the Atlantic has spawned 19 storms each season, tying with 1995 and 1887 as the third-most active period in records going back to 1851. BLOOMBERG

A Note Regarding the Up To Prices listed in this Ad The condition and rarity of an item determines its price. If an item is in excellent condition and very rare it might be worth the up to price, or even more.

However, if an item is in poor condition, the value will be lower.

For example, a 1927 S Quarter could be worth $7,000 in new condition or less than $20 in poor condition. The up to price reflects items of exceptional quality and rarity. Although it is unlikely you will have these items due to their extreme rarity, feel

free to bring whatever items you may have and we will evaluate them free of charge.

Why We Can Usually Pay More Than Other Dealers Most jewelers and dealers specialize in few items and focus on newer looking items to resell.

Because they are unfamiliar with many other items including vintage jewelry, old watches, coins, flatware, etc. they tend to offer very low prices because these items are not readily saleable for them. Our company has many specialized buyers for the various classifications of items that we purchase, therefore we can usually pay more.

Customer Satisfaction Most of our business comes from satisfied customers and referrals which includes their friends and families. Our showrooms are safe and private. Our staff is courteous and professional and we strive as a company to make your selling experience a pleasant one.

They arrested him early yesterday morning at the Pine Tree Camp, where he was stealing food, police said. They said Knight, now being held at Kennebec County

Knight told the officers who arrested him that he had spoken with only one other person â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a lone hiker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during his years of solitude.

The oldest collection of fossilized dinosaur eggshells and embryos, found in China, suggests the animals grew quickly and flexed their muscles before they hatched, making them ready for action at birth.

The eggs and embryos were from about 190 million to 197 million years ago, during the early Jurassic period, according to a study published today in Nature.

More than 200 bones were extracted at the site, near Dawa in southern Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yunnan,

near Myanmar.

The bones are from about 20 embryos called Lufengosaurus, creatures that grew to about 26 feet long. An analysis of femurs, the longest bones in the leg, suggested they doubled in size while the dinosaurs were still embryos, from half an inch to an inch.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how fast this happened, though it suggests the embryos developed quickly, the researchers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are, for the first time, looking in great detail at how embryos in dinosaur eggs would have developed as they grew,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Reisz, a paleontologist at the University of Toronto, Mississauga, and leader of the international team that worked on the bones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Others could only look at a single glimpse, when the death of the embryo was frozen.â&#x20AC;?

PENNSYLVANIA DISTRIBUTION NOTICE: SB640

PHILADELPHIA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above and protected by armed guards are the Overstuffed Vault Bags that everyone is trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these Overstuffed bags containing 10 Vault Bags full of money could be worth someday.

That’s because each Vault Bag is loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins known to contain at least two dating clear back to the 1800s.

State zip codes determine who gets free Silver coins Hotlines are ringing off the hook as valuable U.S. Gov’t issued Silver coins get handed over free to Pennsylvania residents who beat the 2 day order deadline to get Vault Bags loaded with over 100 U.S. coins some dating back to the 1800s

11 philadelphia Thursday, April 11, 2013

Who gets the Silver coins Free: Listed below are the Philadelphia area zip codes that get the Silver Walking Liberty free. If you live in one of these areas immediately call the Toll Free Hotline: 1-888-526-4429 PENNSYLVANIA - The phone lines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because for the next 2 days Vault Bags containing valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to Philadelphia area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication.

“It’s hard to tell how much these Vault Bags could be worth. That’s because after they were loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins including: Silver, scarce, highly collectible and circulating coins the dates were unsearched and the bags are sealed for good. But, we do know that some of the coins date clear back to the 1800s. Any one of these Vault Bags could be worth a small fortune,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Chief Numismatist for the private World Reserve.

But even better than that, said Shissler, “Philadelphia area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are guaranteed to get a valuable Walking Liberty Silver coin free with each Vault Bag and just that one 90% pure Silver coin alone could be worth $22 to $325 in collector value, so nearly everyone is claiming at least 3 Vault Bags for just ninety-nine dollars each before they’re all gone.”

The only thing residents need to do is find their zip code on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication. If their zip code is on the list, they need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotline before the 2-day order deadline ends.

Everyone who does is being given the 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty coin for free just by covering the 3 Vault Bags each loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins for only $ 99 each or $30 more for just a single Vault Bag as long as they call before the deadline ends.

Since this advertising announcement can’t stop dealers and collec-

tors from hoarding all the valuable coins they can get their hands on, the World Reserve had to set a strict limit of ten Vault Bags per resident.

“Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what some of these coins could be worth someday,” said Shissler.

“With all this money up for grabs we’re bracing for all the calls and doing our best to make sure Philadelphia area residents get through. But, it’s important that all residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List call the National Distribution Hotlines before the deadline ends.

Because when the Vault Bags full of U.S. Gov’t issued coins are gone, they’re gone,” Shissler said.

Each Vault Bag is loaded with a small fortune containing in part, highly sought after valuable collector coins dating clear back to the 1800s including a 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, Eisenhower Dollars, the last ever minted Presidential Golden Dollars, Kennedy Half Dollars, Silver Mercury Dimes, rarely seen Liberty ‘V’ Nickels, nearly 100 year old Buffalo Nickels and circulating U.S. Gov’t issued nickels, dimes and quarter dollars.

“We’re allowing residents whose zip code appears on the State Zip Code Distribution List to claim as many as ten Silver Walking Liberty coins free. But, since you can’t get these Vault Bags loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins at banks or credit unions the limits will be strictly enforced,” he said.

Philadelphia area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends to get the Silver coins free. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

Tom Cruise on Holmes split

CULTURE

Tom Cruise is finally opening up about his divorce from Katie Holmes, which caught most of Hollywood off-guard. And it turns out it caught Cruise offguard as well. “I didn’t expect it,” he says in an interview with German TV station ProSieben.

“To be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything, and then it hits you — this is it, what life can do to you. Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a

If by “sense of humor” he means “being an internationally beloved superstar with piles of money” then I can see how he overcame that break-up.

Raise your lager to the new comedy in town Theater. “Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play” blends sketch comedy with drinking games.

Bye-bye liver.

Hello laughs.

The pub-themed comedy that’s been playing in Chicago for the last seven years has come to Philly.

“Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play” is at the Urban Saloon on Fairmount Ave. every Saturday.

“People like to go out and blow off a little steam, and a lot of comedy comes along with that,” says producer Sylvain Lucarelli.

The shows are now being performed in several cities, from Nashville to Milwaukee, with the same mission: Having a little fun with the sometimes touchy subject of alcohol.

“We don’t have a stance on it,” says Lucarelli on the topic of alcohol.

“It’s not that alcohol is bad or alcohol is good, but it’s an undeniable truth that people go out and drink regularly. Go-

ing to the bar is one of our biggest rituals.”

“Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play” features drinkingthemed sketch comedy routines performed by a cast of eight, with drinking games in between the skits.

“The sketches include what really goes on in the women’s bathroom ... to what happens when a trivia night goes wrong,” Lucarelli says.

The skits are tailormade for the discriminating Philly audience.

“In Philadelphia, it’s different than in other cities like Boston. The people here are more fun and more open to the gambit of humor,” says Lucarelli, a Jersey Shore native and the producer of both the Philly and Boston “Bye Bye Liver” shows.

“They’re more accepting of crossing over the lines than in other cities.”

‘To the Wonder’ “Tree of Life” director Terrence Malick, who once spent 20 years MIA, releases his second film in three years, with another (with Ryan Gosling in Austin, Texas) en route. Ben Affleck and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko play tormented lovers, but anyone who knows Malick knows plot isn’t his films’ most notable aspect.

‘Trance’ Director Danny Boyle is currently on a hot streak (see: “Slumdog Millionaire” and “127 Hours”), which is probably why he’s given money to

The comedy (and occasional drama) aren’t always there, but the atmosphere is affable and the insights into aging musicianhood prove potent.

“The films both document the creative process of music, but are also a work of art in themselves,” says LaMay. “It really does cut across cultures and age groups and demographics. But it’s all about the creative process.”

Getting it on (with a potted plant) Film. The new star of the “Scary Movie” franchise talks about learning to watch actual scary movies and simulating sex with household objects.

Here’s a challenge most actors don’t have to face: Doing last-minute reshoots that constitute more than half of the main plot of the movie.

But that’s exactly what Ashley Tisdale found herself faced with when her bosses on “Scary Movie 5” decided they needed their spoof to be more up-todate and worked in some digs at this year’s horror hits. And they had to work fast. Of course, some of that might be Tisdale’s own fault, though.

“I saw ‘Mama’ opening weekend,” Tisdale remembers. “I came out of there

and I texted the producers, ‘Oh my gosh, like we should really be spoofing “Mama” because it just worked so well.’ And then [writer] Phil [Beauman] was like, ‘Funny, we’re actually going to spoof “Mama.”’ So then we saw it again.” By the actress’ estimation, the additional material spoofing “Mama” and “Evil Dead” — based solely on seeing the trailer — accounted for about 60 percent of the finished movie, done over about 10 days of filming.

Before signing on for the latest in the “Scary Movie” franchise, Tisdale was admittedly far from a horror fan. “I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself, and seeing something, then having a big imagination and then thinking you see it in the middle of the night [is terrifying],” she says.

“So I’ve never been really into them. But it’s funny because doing this movie, now I like them. Now I’ll

“I had humped a potted plant in Atlanta, and that was nerve-racking.”

Tisdale

go watch ‘Mama,’ because then I see things and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s so spoof-able.’ Because sometimes it’s just so ridiculous.”

But not nearly as ridiculous as simulating sex with household objects, something Tisdale was called on to do to excess

for one overstuffed montage in “Scary Movie 5” — with some covered during the initial filming and some added in at the last minute. It proved to be a steep learning curve.

“I had humped a potted plant in Atlanta, and that was nerve-racking,” she remembers. “There

was only one camera guy and they kept it really quiet, so it was OK. But by the time I got to having to be with the chair and the microwave and all over the place, I was just like, ‘Oh, I’ve got this. It’s fine that everybody’s watching.’”

That earned confidence didn’t mean the performance was easy, though. “I do recall having the hardwood chair hitting me from behind and I looked from behind and I was all into it. And then suddenly, I was just like, ‘I’m getting slammed by a chair right now,’ and I started hysterically laughing,” she says, adding that the chair’s enthusiasm was provided by a prop guy. “They’re like, ‘Do it harder!’ And I’m like, ‘It’s hard wood. It hurts.’ I wish there was a camera on the prop guy who was probably like jamming it behind me. It just was so wrong.”

The skin he lives in Film. Max Thieriot talks going starkers in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disconnectâ&#x20AC;? and finding diversity in the webcam world.

Finding the comfort level to play Kyle, a young webcam model in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disconnect,â&#x20AC;? was no small feat for Max Thieriot.

The role required the 24-year-old to shed most of his clothing along with his child actor image, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear from roles in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chloe,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;House at the End of the Streetâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bates Motelâ&#x20AC;? that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been eager to do that for some time.

But few of his adult roles have required him to spend so much time with so little on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just remember starting out, going into it, I just wanted to achieve this comfort level,â&#x20AC;? Thieriot says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing about Kyle is heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so comfortable in his

own skin. ... So I think that was what I was constantly thinking about just so it came off as authentic as possible.â&#x20AC;?

The webcam world is a dark one, and part of the appeal of the most successful performers on it, Thieriot found, is their ability to seem both mature and immature at the same time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met and talked to a few people who are in this business and who do this,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you watch

webcammers, they always have this way that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to speak to everybody and how confident they are, and how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost able to flip it on you and make you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re weird for thinking that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re weird for what they do.â&#x20AC;?

Connecting with those folks and learning about their world meant spending a lot of time online himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I did more research for this movie than for any

Lianne La Havas: A ‘Big Enough’ love Music. The British singer/songwriter has instrumental skills to match soulful pipes.

England spawns smart, lovely songbirds like Adele and Lily Allen, and its latest ingenue is Lianne La Havas. The debut from the 23-yearold singer/songwriter, “Is Your Love Big Enough?,” features jazz-soul production and haunting pipes.

Comparisons to Norah Jones or Lauryn Hill are to be expected. But La Havas’ style is remarkably original and uplifting.

“It’s quite easy to write about your pain, but you should write about your happiness as well,” she says. “It’s just as strong a relationship.”

Guitar lines alternate from harp-like tinkles to rhythmic slide on songs like “Empty” and “No Room For Doubt” and bass-y riffs on her powerful “Forget.”

“It’s quite an eclectic record,” the singer says.

“There’s an overall theme of love. The sounds are very electric guitar-led. … When I started playing the guitar, my songwriting changed. I started exploring different ways I could write songs.”

Her look is Paris boudoir meets English country road. She is a retro vision seeped in Sade echoes and jazz guitar.

Her songwriting has a through-the-looking-glass

Lianne La Havas let her guitar lead her to write the songs on her debut album. / ANDY SHEPPARD, REDFERNS

“My single, ‘Is Your Love Big Enough?,’ is not about any of my boyfriends,” she says, bucking the scornedwoman trend. “It’s written about a great time I had when I was in New York.”

Bringing farmers and foodies to the same table Festival. Expect big crowds at the 2nd annual Philly Food and Farm Fest Last April, for just one day, the Convention Center became a crowded, buzzing farmers market. It was the inaugural Philly Food and Farm Fest, hosted by the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture and Fair Food Philly, with folks on hand from nearby farms, new city spots like Little Babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Cream, and artisan cheese makers. There were also workshops, lectures and, for the brave, a demo on beekeeping.

The event brought farmers and foodies together to share knowledge and sample some fresherthan-fresh wares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun event, and it speaks to the mission of Fair Food and PASA,â&#x20AC;? says Ann Karlan, executive director at Fair Food Philly. That mission? To support farmers and help introduce them to small businesses, wholesale buyers and individuals.

In addition to the vendors who are returning for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food and Farm Fest on April 14, there are 40 new merchants, making for about 130 total.

my life around! When my kids went to school, I thought about what I could do that is just for me. One day my son came home from school and told me something funny that happened, and I wrote it down. [The story] came flooding out of me, and the local paper ran it. Soon after, two more papers expressed interest. I realized this was going to be my second act. Finding the humor in parenting made me so much happier.

Finding the humor in parenting made this suburban mother much happier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and gave her a second act.

How did things begin to change?

My low point is when I got stopped by a cop driving in my dumpy bathrobe. I thought, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to turn

TRACY BECKERMAN

How did you decide to swap your city life for a suburban one, and what was the transition like?

After I had my son and went back to my job as a writer and producer for the local news, I never expected that I was going to not really care about it anymore. I felt like I was missing out by not being with my son. So we made the decision that I was going to quit my job.

Then we realized that we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to stay in the city! So we moved to New Jersey. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anybody, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my job to define me anymore and I just sort of lost it.

What should women in this situation keep in mind?

If you defined yourself by your career, it can be very hard when all of a sudden your job title is Stay-AtHome Mom. You need something for yourself thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about your kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something just for you that you feel good about.

LETTERS AND GAMES Letters

Horoscope

Aries | March 21 - April 20. If you’re thinking of teaming up with others in something that requires an investment, test the waters.

Cancer | June 21 - July 22. Accept your friends for who and what they are, faults and all. If you display intolerance, others will notice your imperfections.

Taurus | April 21 - May 21. Independence is a wonderful quality, but you can carry it too far when it’s necessary to play nice with others.

Be a team player when conditions ask it of you.

Leo | July 23 - Aug. 22.

The best way to get a message across to your family is to lead by example.

Gemini | May 22 - June 20. Guard against a tendency to treat your duties indifferently.

Virgo | Aug. 23 - Sept.

22. Unless associates believe that you know what you’re talking about, they aren’t likely to put much credence in your words.

Libra | Sept. 23 - Oct. 22. Even though you are presently in a good financial cycle, things could still get rocky.

Capricorn | Dec. 22 - Jan 20. Be extremely selective regarding with whom you associate. Don’t get mixed up with the wrong people.

Scorpio | Oct. 23 Nov. 21. Usually, you are a strong and decisive person who isn’t prone to wavering. However, today you might not be able to make up your mind.

Aquarius | Jan. 21 - Feb 18. Be particularly mindful of your behavior when in public, because your image is currently fragile.

Sagittarius | Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. Under most conditions, you’re not averse to helping others.

Today, though, you might miss a chance to help.

Pisces | Feb. 19 - March 20. Your associates will have a strong influence on your thinking. If you link up with a negative individual, you’re likely to see the world darkly.

You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Fewer bags, more Metro!

I read Metro on the train, and it’s not that it gets in other people’s way — it’s the fact that people get in the way of reading it.

I have the paper in my personal space held six inches from my face.

People are basically sitting on my lap. It’s not the paper, but the people who feel they need to get that close or have bags and just swing them without cause. Be kind and let me have my space to read my favorite paper. KENNETH MCPHERSON, VIA E-MAIL

Sick brains deadly Re: “College student wounds 14 in stabbing spree” (Metro, April 10) Now that a person has stabbed people at the college in Houston, I suppose we are to run to the government to take all knives away from people. But how will we cut our pineapples then?

Then when all knives are gone, the sickos will take bleach and throw it. Then we will have to have bleach-control laws.

When are we going to deal with mental illness?

SAVANNAH GORELISH, VIA E-MAIL

Driven to break laws Re: “Bikers need to follow the law” (Metro, April 9) Cycling has just as many bad apples riding around the city as there are bad drivers on the road. As one of the cyclists who does follow the rules, I feel there is a need for more education and enforcement of the rules of the road for both cyclists and drivers. Some of the death-defying maneuvers cyclists are seen making are due to motorists not sharing the road and parking in bike lanes.

Our favorite Karen O looks of all time

“Sacrilege” is a great song and all. But what about that slamming yellow suit?

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will release their fourth album, “Mosquito,” next week. And with it comes a new look from the band’s chameleon of a front woman Karen O. For one, she’s now blonde. And she’s into crystalencrusted Elvis Presley style suits, the latest in a long line of wonderfully weird stage outfits designed by her bestie, the designer Christian Joy. We look back at some of our favorites (fishnets! zigzags! giant headdresses!) from Yeah Yeah Yeahs gigs past. KENYA HUNT

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve participated in such an activity and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable disclosing it to your man, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheating.

Think about the impact telling will have on him. Although honesty is usually the best policy, if this truly is a one-time experience, then why upset him?

Consider dropping the matter and moving on.

Do know, though, if he ever asks if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cheated, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to disclose this indiscretion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because keeping a secret will force you to barricade a part of yourself and interfere with intimacy.

Finally, if this only occurred because of the alcohol, then lay off the booze. But consider the possibility that subconsciously youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got same-sex tendencies that came out because your inhibitions were reduced while under the influence.

If you are indeed confused about your sexuality, do yourself and him a favor and end the relationship.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maintain one relationship for stability while exploring other options.

No More Drama

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with my boyfriend for eight months and we have a good relationship. The other night, though, I was at a party without him and got drunk and flirted with another woman. One thing led to the next and we had sex. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told my boyfriend about it and I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked to the woman again. I know guys think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot to see two women together, but I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I should tell him what happened. I feel really guilty and confused.

What should I do?

For a moment, imagine your boyfriend is out at a party. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting drunk, starts flirting with another guy, and then one thing leads to the next and he has sex with the guy. Ask yourself: Are you OK with that?

Do you consider that cheating? My guess is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not OK with it and it violates a trust youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve established over the past eight months. After that many months of dating, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most likely an

Lackey heads to DL Red Sox starter John Lackey wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid the 15-day DL with a strained right-biceps muscle. The injury was termed minor for the pitcher, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still need to miss a couple starts. He was injured in his first start of the season. An MRI was negative.

Phillies crowd sees its share of fairer sex MLB. Women are showing up in droves to Citizens Bank Ballpark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and making their voices heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in the Church of Baseball,â&#x20AC;? Annie Savoy says in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bull Durham.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.

More women 50 and older watched last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giants-Tigers World Series than men under 49. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason that men should love baseball more than women,â&#x20AC;? Alyssa Cromwell, 34, of Northeast Philadelphia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cerebral game. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a thinker, you have to love baseball. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the strategy, the history and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful game. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why women wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love it.

Connelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now this is where we get a chance to meet up to spend a night out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very social environment here.

MLB. Phillies players happy to see female fans at the ballpark The Phillies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have tunnel vision to the point they miss who is in the stands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be amazed how much we see up there,â&#x20AC;?

Ryan Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on the game, but we notice our fans.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evident from the field that the players notice that there are strong numbers of females in the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see that we

get a lot of support from women, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;?

Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising to Jimmy Rollins that there are so many females supporting the Phillies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes sense to me,â&#x20AC;?

Rollins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up with baseball. My mother always loved it. She played softball. My mother is a big reason that I play baseball.

Women get in on action The Phillies might not sell out every night, but just try getting tickets to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Baseball 101 class. The tutorial sells out each time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offered at Citizens Bank Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard to get a ticket,â&#x20AC;? said Lynn Martin, of Lumberton, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we managed to get tickets [in 2012].

We were lucky and we loved it.â&#x20AC;?

The Baseball 101 class, which sells out in minutes, features seminars with coaches and players. Women learn the fundamentals and hear what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a major leaguer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating to hear about what they do,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you love baseball, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love the class.

You get to learn and you get a chance to do some things.â&#x20AC;?

Masters 2013: Woods’ coronation underway

Masters preview.

Tiger Woods is the name on the mind of every golf fan as the Masters begins today.

Maybe you’ve heard — Tiger Woods is on a hot streak and ready to roll over everyone en route to his fifth green jacket and 15th overall major.

Woods is the overwhelming favorite to win thanks to a two-tournament winning streak entering this weekend.

He won at the Cadillac Championship on March 10 and the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 25.

He hasn’t played this well entering the first major of the season since 2008 when he also won three tournaments prior to the Masters. It’s probably worth noting that is also the last year, preknee surgery and pre-infidelity scandal, he won a major (the U.S. Open).

Woods cracked jokes and looked decidedly less dour in Tuesday’s pre-tournament press

conference — more like a man not burdened by injury and paparazzi.

“I think it’s just a balance, a balance in life,” Woods told reporters. “I think that’s what you’re seeing.”

He famously went public with his relationship with Olympic skier Lindsay Vonn last month, an unprecedented move for the usually secretive golfer. Maybe she is part of the reason for his “balance.”

But it’s a different word than “balance” that often defined Woods during his height: fear.

Some of that was lost in 2009 when Y.E. Yang stared him down, headto-head, in the final

round of the PGA Championship and watched Woods crumble.

The fear has returned, and straight from the top of the leaderboard.

“You’re always worried about him making that big run the way he’s always done throughout his career,” four-time major champion Phil Mickelson told reporters.

“He’s got 14 majors.

I’ve got two,” defending PGA Player of the Year Rory McIlroy told reporters Tuesday. “If I saw myself as a rival to Tiger, I wouldn’t really be doing him much justice.”

MARK OSBORNE

mark.osborne@metro.us

Whose rival?

The man Tiger Woods just deposed as the No. 1 golfer in the world rankings seems like a natural rival for the resurgent Woods — to everyone but the man himself, Rory McIlroy.

•

“I don’t see myself as a rival to Tiger or to anyone,” McIlroy said.

Who is that man with the smile? Tiger Woods is happier and more dangerous than ever as he tees off today at 10:45 a.m. / ANDREW REDINGTON, GETTY IMAGES

Bryzgalov said to have slept at meeting Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov â&#x20AC;&#x153;dozed offâ&#x20AC;? during a team meeting on Monday, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Several Flyers players and coach Peter Laviolette publicly denied the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether he was actually sleeping or not, no one knows for sure,â&#x20AC;? an anonymous player told the Daily News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seemed like he may have been doing it to get a rise out of other players.

Mayberry Jr. gets a Mulligan in the Philliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outfield Phillies. After struggling in 2012, Mayberry Jr. is looking to turn his career around.

Opportunity is knocking again for John Mayberry Jr. after Mayberry squandered his chance at being a starting outfielder for the Phillies with a disappointing 2012 season.

But the Phillies have another gaping hole in the outfield. After enduring a rough spring training, Mayberry is digging in again.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of the first to the cage for batting practice this week.

John Mayberry Jr. GETTY IMAGES

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to work hard,â&#x20AC;? Mayberry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do whatever I can to help the team.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still believe that John Mayberry can be a star in this league,â&#x20AC;? MLB analyst Mitch Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has all the tools. He reminds me so much of Jayson Werth.â&#x20AC;?

Charlie Manuel, who agrees with Williams, recalls a conversation with Werth that relates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Werth, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to hit right-handed pitchers,â&#x20AC;? Manuel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then he started hitting right-handed pitchers and he won a job.â&#x20AC;?

Manuel will platoon Mayberry and Laynce Nix until Delmon Young is ready to play in May.
