BRIEF Judge leaning toward sealing some evidence in Cosby suit A U.S. judge on Wednesday brokered a compromise on whether to release evidence in a defamation suit brought against comedian Bill Cosby by seven women who accuse him of sexually assaulting them. Cosby’s attorneys wanted to seal all evidence in the case for at least 14 days. This would likely include depositions by Cosby and his wife Camille on topics cover-

ing sexual matters. U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy rejected their bid. Instead, he said he was inclined to give each side up to seven days to make the case for whether individual pieces of testimony should be sealed. Tamara Green sued Cosby in December 2014, accusing him of lying when he publicly denied having sexually assaulted her, and six other women have since joined in the lawsuit. Cosby, 78,

filed a countersuit in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts last month, accusing the women of defaming him. The seven are among more than 50 women who have come forward to publicly accuse Cosby of sexually assaulting them after plying them with drugs or alcohol in alleged attacks carried out over a number of decades. Hennessy said that once he had received a request for deposition evidence to be sealed, the

other side will have up to seven days to challenge. Joseph Cammarata, an attorney for the women, acknowledged that depositions of witnesses including Cosby and his wife, Camille, would delve into personal matters. “Are we going to talk about the sexual history? Of course. Are we going to talk about the extramarital activity? Yes,” Cammarata said. “We already know these subject matters.” REUTERS

Leaders mixed on Obama’s speech Casey, Toomey react to Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. JENNY DEHUFF @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

President Obama made no bones about it Tuesday night — he wanted to go out with a bang. “The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period. Period. It’s not even close. It’s not even close,” he said. Sen. Bob Casey called the president’s speech “forward-looking” and “optimistic, agreeing with Obama that Congress should move to help reduce the debt burden on college graduates. Obama proposed Tuesday night cutting the cost of college to zero for every student for the first two years, but didn’t say how he would pay for it. “A college degree is one of the single best tickets to the middle class — it shouldn’t come with a lifetime of debt,” Casey said in a statement. Sen. Pat Toomey had another viewpoint, pointing out two “great threats” facing the U.S., in the form of slow economic growth

and of violent Islamic extremist terrorists. “It is more dangerous than ever,” he said. “The president missed an opportunity to lay out a case for strong American leadership in the Middle East — especially tougher action to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.” He did tip his hat to Obama and Congress when it came to achievements made in the last year, including reforming education, promoting trade, investing in highways and bridges, boosting cybersecurity and fixing how Medicare reimburses doctors. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, herself the daughter of Indian immigrants, gave the Republican response immediately following the president’s address. She offered measured feedback, faulting lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for not working hard enough together to get jobs each have strived for done in nearly eight years’ time. “There is more than enough blame to go around,” she said. “We as Republicans need to own that truth. We need to accept that we’ve played a role in how and why our government is broken, and then, we need to fix it.”

Lawsuit accuses ‘Empire’ creators of plagiarism Philly native Clayton Prince Tanksley has filed a lawsuit arguing that creators of the smash hit “Empire” stole his ideas. SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

A Philly entertainer claimed in a federal lawsuit that the creators of the smash hit TV show “Empire” stole the idea for the show from him. Clayton Prince Tanksley claimed that “Empire,” created by director Lee Daniels, was lifted from a pilot for a show called “Cream” that Tanksley pitched to Daniels in 2008 after an event in Philly. “Prince spoke privately with ... Daniels and pitched ‘Cream’ to him,” stated the lawsuit, filed in Philly federal court on Jan. 8. “Daniels ... affirmatively represented to Prince that he was very interested in the property and might well be disposed to proceed further with its development as a television soap opera series.”

Tanksley, 50, an actor who played roles in “The Cosby Show” and TV series “Dark Justice,” claimed in court papers that in January 2015 he was startled to see the premiere of “Empire,” which he believed is a rip-off of his “Cream” concept. “The television series ‘Empire’ is so substantially similar to ‘Cream,’ that … the physical appearance of the characters, plots and scenes, as well as story lines are virtually identical to those shown on the DVD of ‘Cream,’” the lawsuit claimed. “Each of the male protagonists are from Philadelphia and have risen beyond their criminal pasts to establish record label businesses in that

city,” the suit states as evidence of plagiarism. A scene-by-scene comparison included in the lawsuit highlights numerous other similarities between the two shows. Tanksley also said that “Empire” killed any interest in “Cream,” which he first created in 2005. “Once ‘Empire’ began airing, none of the television networks was interested in ‘Cream’ due to its striking similarities to ‘Empire,’ which demonstrates that several objective observers immediately recognized the obvious and substantial similarities between the two shows,” the lawsuit alleged. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

“The television series ‘Empire’ is so substantially similar to ‘Cream,’ that ... the physical appearance of the characters, plots and scenes, as well as story lines are virtually identical ...” The lawsuit

PHILADELPHIA

Is Cosby a ‘rapist’? It’s more complex than you think The downfall of Bill Cosby famously began in October 2014 after comedian Hannibal Buress ragged on Cosby during a standup show at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, repeatedly calling him a “rapist.â€? Except there’s one problem with that statement: Cosby is not charged with rape. He is charged with indecent sexual assault. In the days since Cosby was arraigned by Montgomery County prosecutors, most media have used the phrase â€œsexual assaultâ€? when referring to the charges against Cosby.  While Cosby’s alleged crime occurred in 2004,  according to the FBI’s 2012 re-definition of the crime, the acts alleged would be classified as rape. The FBI now defines rape as “the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent

of the victim.â€? Some said that the federal definition, which is not used for prosecution but for federal record-keeping, should be embraced as it treats any kind of sexual violation as rape, which has been historically considered one of the most abhorrent crimes. â€œThere is never ‘just a sexual assault’ to the person who experienced it,â€? said Stephanie DeCandia, director of programs at the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. “We work with clients who define what happened to them as rape, yet in the criminal system the offender is charged with an indecent assault and battery because that is the charge the evidence in the case will allow,â€? DeCandia said. “That can be frustrating for survivors because they feel that what fully happened to them is being minimized or ignored.â€? The definition of rape is the subject of ongoing

A mural of Bill Cosby in Washington, D.C. GETTY IMAGES

lively discussions, as antirape activists claim for example that U.S. colleges have an epidemic of rape, while some, including Harvard Law School professors, have questioned the legality of college proceedings on rape. “We’re moving toward understanding sexual offenses as being deeply tied up with sexual autonomy, and charges shouldn’t require force — non-consent should be enough,â€? said Villanova University Law Professor Michelle Madden

Dempsey. â€œThat’s all the more true because there are so many cases like the Cosby case where someone is incapacitated, or when someone is experiencing what psychologists call being ‘frozen in fear.’â€? In Pennsylvania law, rape would only apply if the incident involved sexual intercourse. That definition is problematic for a number of reasons, Dempsey said — including that it’s difficult to secure a rape conviction. “Since the 1970s,

various jurisdictions have modernized their sexual offenses in a number of ways. Many states decided to drop the label rape and make the most egregious crime ‘sexual assault,’â€? she said. “The really old-fashioned definition of rape ‌ required physical resistance by the victim, both use of force and non-consent. It was quite a difficult definition to satisfy from the prosecutor’s perspective.â€? In a famous 1994 Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, a man had his rape conviction overturned because the act did not include the use of force, Dempsey pointed out. “In response, the Pennsylvania legislature ... came up with sexual assault for an offense that involves penetration without consent,â€? Dempsey said. “We count things like touching as criminal assault and battery if they’re done without consent. If they’re sexual in nature, if they involve

penis going into someone’s vagina or anus or what have you, it seems logical we should count that kind of conduct as sexual assault as well.� DeCandia also said legal realities often limit what a person is charged with. “The legal definitions and statutory titles are very fact-specific and charges brought are most often dependent on the facts that the prosecution believe can be proven to meet the legal definitions,� she said. “This is why it’s helpful for everyone to not view the criminal justice system as the be-all and end-all for defining what is sexual violence and whether or not it happened, and that it is not the only recourse for justice or healing.� “The understanding of those words covers roughly the behavior he has allegedly done,� she said. “It’s not a legal misrepresentation. But he is only accused.� SAM NEWHOUSE

National Guard helps distribute supplies in Flint water crisis The National Guard will work with state officials and volunteers to hand out bottled water, water filters, replacement cartridges and testing kits. Michigan National Guard members were set to arrive in Flint as soon as Wednesday to join door-to-door efforts to distribute bottled water and other supplies to residents coping with the city’s crisis over lead-contaminated drinking water. Gov. Rick Snyder activated the state’s National Guard on Tuesday and requested support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which approved the

request and appointed a disaster recovery coordinator to help the state, Snyder and a FEMA spokesman said on Twitter. The financially strapped city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager when it switched its source of tap water to the nearby Flint River in April 2014 from Detroit’s water system to save money. Flint, about 60 miles northwest of Detroit, returned to using Detroit water in October after tests found some children had elevated levels of lead in their blood and lead was found in higher-than-acceptable levels in the water. In December the city said lead levels were still “well above” the acceptable federal level in many homes.

BRIEF GoPro cuts jobs, estimates fourth-quarter revenue below expectations GoPro Inc said it was cutting 7 percent of its workforce and estimated revenue for the holiday quarter below estimates as it sold fewer action cameras than expected, sending its shares plunging 28 percent in extended trading. GoPro said it expects revenue to be about $435 million for the fourth quarter, well below analysts’ average estimate of $511.9 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The company, which had about 1,500 employees at the end of 2015, said quarterly revenue was hit as it cut the prices of its HERO4 Session cameras to cope with waning demand. GoPro Chief Executive Nicholas Woodman had said weaker-than-expected demand for its Hero4 Session camera was due to its initial high price and fewer marketing campaigns. Traders said on Wednesday that the revenue miss was expected but not of this magnitude. This does not bode well for its 2016 forecast, they added.

Snyder has apologized for the state’s mishandling of the situation. In late December, he accepted the resignation of the state official whose agency, the Department of Environmental Quality, oversees

water quality. Last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit said it was investigating the lead contamination of Flint’s water and Snyder declared a state of emergency in Genesee County, which includes

Official sees more cyberattacks on industrial control systems A U.S. government cybersecurity official warned that authorities have seen an increase in attacks that penetrate industrial control system networks over the past year, and said they are vulnerable because they are exposed to the Internet. Industrial control systems are computers that control operations of industrial processes, from energy plants and steel mills to cookie factories and breweries. â€œWe see more and more that are gaining access to that control system layer,â€? said Marty Edwards, who runs the Department of Homeland Security’s Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, or ICS-CERT. ICS-CERT helps U.S. firms investigate suspected cyberattacks on industrial control systems as well as corporate

networks. Interest in critical infrastructure security has surged since late last month when Ukraine authorities blamed a power outage on a cyberattack from Russia, which would make it the first known power outage caused by a cyber attack. Experts attending the S4 conference of some 300 critical infrastructure security specialists in

Miami said the incident has caused U.S. firms to ask whether their systems are vulnerable to similar incidents. Edwards said he believed the increase in attacks was mainly because more control systems are directly connected to the Internet. Edwards did not say whether those attacks had caused any service disruptions or threatened

public safety. Sean McBride, a critical infrastructure analyst with iSight Partners who attended the talk, said the increase may reflect more publicity in recent years over risks over cyber attacks, which prompted operators to find more infections. McBride said he could not say if the increase was troubling because he did not know the intent of the attackers. REUTERS

BRIEF Obama administration to announce eorts to boost self-driving cars The Obama administration will announce eorts to boost self-driving cars on Thursday, according to government oďŹƒcials. Mark Rosekind, head of the National Highway TraďŹƒc Safety Administration, told reporters that Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx will be in Detroit to talk about administration eorts to speed the introduction of self-driving vehicles. There is not yet a clear legal framework governing the presence of driverless cars on U.S. roads. Automakers and technology companies such as Alphabet Inc’s Google have called on regulators to clarify guidelines

for introduction of autonomous driving technology, in part out of concern that a mishap involving a self-driving car could result in costly litigation. A Google spokesman said the company will take part in Thursday’s announcement by Foxx. Detroit automakers are also likely to participate. In December, Rosekind said he opposed a “patchworkâ€? of state regulations on driverless cars and promised a “nimble, exibleâ€? approach to writing new rules for self-driving vehicles. OďŹƒcials had said President Barack Obama might discuss advanced transportation eorts in his ďŹ nal State of the Union Address on Tuesday, but he did not. REUTERS

GOSSIP

DiCaprio manned up and apologized for the Gaga shade The most inflammatory part of this Sunday’s Golden Globes wasn’t host Ricky Gervais’ decidedly noninflammatory jokes. It was a blink-and-miss it moment when Lady Gaga strolled up to the podium to receive an acting award. (To paraphrase “The Simpsons,” I know what those words mean but that sentence makes no sense.) As you well know, she bumped into Leonardo DiCaprio’s chair and he cast her some serious shade. According to Radar Online, Gaga’s fiance, actor Taylor Kinney, found out about it. At an after party he confronted the possible future Oscar-winning thespian, in a way that has been described as “nonconfrontational,” about making an apology. Whatever he said, it worked, and DiCaprio apologized and even partied down with the two. But surely saying sorry to Gaga can’t be as painful as bopping around snow and icy waters for months and canoodling with a CGI bear, as he did on the set of “The Revenant.” Has DiCaprio told anyone that movie was difficult to make?

The Razzies dogpiled on ‘Fifty Shades’ and ‘Jupiter’ because they suck Ugh, the Razzies. No fruit is too low-hanging for the awards body that’s essentially the anti-Oscars, who every year celebrate the year’s worst in cinematic product — or just make super-obvious jokes that your least funny friend already made. For their 2015 edition, they naturally, inevitably, lamely stuck it to “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “Jupiter Ascending” and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.” Nevermind that “Fifty Shades” has some merit, not the least of them Dakota Johnson’s quietly funny turn. So, of course, she was nominated, as was Eddie Redmayne

the word

for “Jupiter,” despite him being super-duper-megaultra over-the-top and entertaining. But let’s say some nice things about them for a change. At least they didn’t dogpile on “Aloha,” Cameron Crowe’s roundly derided but actually, secretly semi-good rom-com. And they did nominate Adam Sandler for not just

“Pixels” but the truly, inventively abysmal indie “The Cobbler.” On the other hand, did Amanda Seyfried run over a Razzie member’s dog? She’s in 20 seconds of “Pan” and is fine in “Love the Coopers,” and yet she’s been nominated for both. Ye gods, nevermind: The Razzies suck. MP

After Zayn Malik’s departure from the group in March 2015, the band went on tour and decided not to continue as a group after the tour finished, Fox stated in a related article. They had originally announced that an extended hiatus would begin in March, US Weekly added, also stating that the group will release one more video for a song from their “Made in the A.M.” album. “The 1D thing just ran its course. They’ll remain friends, but they are exhausted and want solo careers,” a source told US Weekly. JASON NUCKOLLS

The Knocks: Adding substance to sound The electronic duo proves that good dance music can be a little sad.

The Knocks’ Ben “BRoc� Ruttner wouldn’t advise most people to go into business with their roommate, but it’s worked out pretty great for him. “James and I are really lucky,� he says. “I always thought since our relationship was so easy that all other music groups were like that. But after being on the road with some other bands, I found out that is definitely not the case.� New York transplants Ruttner and his buddy James “JPatt� Patterson formed the electronic music duo back in 2010 while living in their East Village apartment where they survived on “dollar slices of pizza and had people living on our couch to pay the rent.�

In 2010, they made it big with their single, “Make It Better,� which was featured on a Corona commercial. They have since worked with heavyweights including X Ambassadors, Fetty

with Ruttner to get the full scoop.

No drama Ruttner and Patterson’s easy-going friendship spills into the way they

collaborate with other artists. They really do seem like the type of dudes who avoid drama and are friends with everyone. Not only do they have a track (“All That�) with Carly Rae Jepsen, they remained friends with her while working on a song with her ex-boyfriend Matthew Koma. “We actually worked with two of Matt Koma’s exes,� Ruttner laughs. “His other exgirlfriend is Crista [Ru] from POWERS.� Ruttner says that particular song, “Classic,� was actually the song that set the tone for their entire upcoming album. “We had a whole album

ready and done, but then ‘Classic’ set a new bar for us. Everything just clicked.� The song has a throwback, disco-pop sound juxtaposed with the beat-heavy club trend that was happening in the EDM space, and the risk worked out in their favor.

Beyond the beat Most electronic dance music sounds like happiness on steroids, but The Knocks’ songs have a bit of melancholy and nostalgia to them. “With dance music, for a while it was about who could have the craziest sounds or the wildest drop, but Disclosure and other [artists] like that are letting the world know you can have a really good dance song that has really good lyrics and content,� Ruttner says. “We aren’t just making songs people can just jump up and down to. Actual good songwriting is important.�

Rob Schneider’s doing it for himself The comedic actor talks voicing polar bears and defends Steven Seagal. MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

In his early stand-up days, before his stint on “Saturday Night Live,� Rob Schneider was known for the diversity of his voices. Sometimes he still gets to use that skill. No stranger to animation, Schneider voices the lead in “Norm of the North� — a polar bear trying to save the Arctic from greedy human developers. This family film comes soon after the debut of “Real Rob,� his fairly foul-mouthed Netflix show about a fictionalized version of himself and his family. You have a 3-year-old daughter. Does that inform some of the work you take? I’d like to be able to sit with her and watch one of my movies. There’s a couple animated films I did — I call it “emergency trauma surgery animation.� That’s

where they bring you in, and it’s already animated, and you have to squeeze jokes in. Or it’s in another language. A friend brought me into some films because he knows I can do a lot of voices. So I would do nine different voices for a movie called “The Reef,� which was a blatant ripoff of “Finding Nemo.� You make it as good as you can, but it’s not like this movie, where you start from scratch and really build something. I showed my daughter “The Reef 2� and after 10 minutes, she got up and walked out. [Laughs]

that was entertaining and funny and kind of my version of “Fawlty Towers.� Because where else is entertainment going to go? It has to be more personal. Reality TV is a bore. And it’s not real; they sketch it out. So you take an exaggerated version of yourself, and the audiences guess how much is real and how much isn’t.

You also have “Real Rob,â€? which, like your CBS show “Rob,â€? follows around a version of you. What made you want to return to a ďŹ ctionalized version of yourself? I wanted to do something

had a doubt in my mind we were going to wind up somewhere, because it’s good. We wanted to make something that was the highest quality possible. No one could have done what I did. I’m the only actor, only comedian ever who’s produced, written, edited, financed an entire season. I edited it for nine months. Nobody could do that. I don’t know if anyone would want to do that. With companies like Netflix, the door is open to produce your own stuff. I hope other people follow my lead, because you get complete artistic freedom. That’s what you want as an artist.

On ‘SNL’ You were there during Steven Seagal’s episode. Some have nominated him as the worst-ever host. I ďŹ nd that to be an exaggeration. I didn’t think he was the worst. There were other ones who were worse than him, to be honest. I don’t remember seeing David Spade in the writers room for an extended time, the whole time I was there. I think people are looking for a safe target. That’s mean-spirited. I’m going to call him out on that and say bulls—, David, you weren’t around him.

Restaurant Week is always an exciting time for those of us obsessed with eating out — it’s our chance to try a hot spot that’s usually way too expensive for a random Tuesday indulgence. More than 100 restaurants are participating in Center City Restaurant Week, Philly’s biggest version of the deal — so big it now stretches over two weeks: Jan. 17-22 and 24-29. Get a three-course dinner for just $35, or $20 for a three-course lunch at some spots. There’s even discounted parking; pick up a voucher at the restaurant to park in a nearby

garage for $9 or less. We took the pressure out of choosing your reservations with four very different Restaurant Week suggestions that have one thing in common: You won’t have buyer’s remorse at any of them. Go to Center City District’s site for the full list, links to book through OpenTable, and details on where to park.

Russet 1521 Spruce St.

Chef-owners Andrew and Kristin Wood run this elegant-yet-homey BYOB that emphasizes local and seasonal ingredients and — crucially — simplicity. The menu changes often, but for Restaurant Week the appetizers and entrees are set; dessert will be a surprise based on what’s freshest. We’re eyeing the heirloom squash soup with bacon, sage

and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the roasted rainbow trout with potatoes and salsa verde.

Amada 217 Chestnut St.

Bring a few friends and your table will overflow with plates of delectable Spanish tapas at this Old City staple from Iron Chef Jose Garces. All those small plates usually add up quick, so Restaurant Week will be a welcome break on the final bill. There’s a choice of two dishes for the first two courses, then either a Spanish custard or a dark chocolate tart for dessert.

Melograno 2012 Sansom St.

You won’t go wrong at this upscale, always crowded BYOB in the Rittenhouse neighborhood. The Italian food here falls somewhere

between hearty South Philly-style meals and more modern takes on tradition. Start with the polpette pork, veal and beef meatballs, move on to the lamb osso bucco or the ricotta gnudi (kale dumplings with butter, sage and pine nuts), then finish with the tiramisu, of course.

Butcher and Singer 1500 Walnut St.

Our mouths are watering just thinking about the plates at sexy old-school steakhouse Butcher and Singer, one of acclaimed restaurateur Stephen Starr’s finest. You can’t order all of our favorites off the Restaurant Week menu, but it’s an opportunity to check out this high-end spot without spending big bucks. Make sure to end the meal with a tall slice of carrot cake.

Susanna Foo is back The restaurateur is returning to the city, this time with son Gabe running the show.

On the menu Diners can expect delicate Chinese recipes along with more unusual Mongolian dishes. But that doesn’t mean that Foo won’t be returning to any of her greatest hits: Suga will serve her Chopped Asian Salad, as well as her light-as-air signature steamed dumplings, with meat, seafood or vegetables.

A.D. AMOROSI @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

When Philadelphia chef Susanna Foo exited her eponymous Walnut Street restaurant in June 2009 after a 22-year run, she left a hole in the city’s food scene: no more nuanced Chinese-French cuisine in a white linen experience. “I missed the city when I left,� Foo says. “[But] the running back and forth between there and my grandchildren in the suburbs took up all of my energy.� So this time around, she’s bringing the family into the city. Foo is about to open Suga at 17th and Sansom, with her son, coowner Gabe Foo, running the front of the house. She’ll be executive chef.

Suga is opening later this month. PROVIDED

“I decided to join the business when my parents were planning on opening our Radnor lo-

cation [in 2006]. It just seemed so exciting,� says photographer/restaurateur Gabe, referring to

the Main Line’s Gourmet Kitchen. It closed last year so the family could focus on Suga, but the younger Foo has been surprised at is “how difficult it is to open a business in Philadelphia,� he says. Suga was originally set to open in September. As for the venue itself, planned out by Eimer Design, “we’re going for a chic, clean, modern Asian feel,� Gabe says. “The colors — red, teal, gold — were inspired by the colors of the Chinese and Taiwanese night markets.� The space, lit by golden orbs, has natural wood accents. “We’re just returning to our roots,� says Gabe about both the look of Suga and its traditional Chinese menu, which includes dishes from Susanna’s childhood in Mongolia. “We’re focusing on the cuisine that my mom grew up with, but with her personal interpretation.�

20 TRAVEL

How to save money on your next trip Travel expert Mark Murphy tells us when and where to book our beach vacation. RACHEL VIGODA @rachelvigoda

rachel.vigoda@metro.us

With saving money on travel, when you go is as important as where you go. We checked in with Mark Murphy, founder of TravelPulse.com, to find out the best destinations for warm weather getaways that won’t break the bank, and the best times to book them. Not surprisingly, Murphy, who also publishes two magazines geared toward travel agents and organizes the Travvy Awards (touted as the Oscars of the industry), suggests using an agent — but he has some pretty convincing reasons why.

When to go “The key if you’re

looking for great value is finding the gaps,” Murphy says. “Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is one of the best times to travel because it’s cheap. The resorts empty out, and they don’t fill back up until the Christmas holiday. Right now is another great time to travel — you could have booked something for now for half the price as what you would have paid two weeks ago to travel over the holidays.” But that won’t hold true for long. The next few months are busy for destinations like Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean, Murphy says. And then there’s a dropoff again: “Any warm weather destination will see a dramatic drop in pricing right after the Easter break, and especially in May — that tends to be a really soft month, so it’s a great time to get

Is Mexico calling to you? Cancun is a great value right now, Murphy says. RACHEL VIGODA

away and have the same exact experience as someone who paid twice as much to go another time,” he says.

Not just for spring breakers If you’re looking for a beach destination easily accessible from the East Coast via nonstop flight, Cancun is one of the best values, Murphy says. And if you go with an all-inclusive resort, you’ll know all your costs up front. “People perceive the all-inclusive market as the way it was 10, 20 years ago, with buffet lines and things like that, but it’s really evolved and gone into

the luxury space,” he says. “One example at the high end is the five-star, all-inclusive resort Grand Velas in the Riviera Maya region — I sent people there who are big-time foodies, and they could not say enough good things about it. One restaurant there, they said it was on par with the best restaurants in New York. At an allinclusive!” Murphy also suggests the luxe Le Blanc, an all-inclusive adults-only property with butler service, or the Hyatt Ziva if you’re bringing the whole family, but there are “tons of choices” in the threeand four-star range in

Cancun as well.

Cruise from home Long gone are the days of having to fly to Miami to board a ship. “Whether you’re in Boston, New York or Philadelphia, you’re within a three-hour drive of a dozen cruise ships. It’s called homeport cruising,” Murphy says. “That’s a massive savings if you’re traveling as a family — you’re going to save on average about $2,000 in airfare versus flying somewhere to get to a ship or get to a resort.” As far as when to go, the same money-saving rules apply to cruises: Find the gap.

Don’t go it alone Murphy’s pro tip? Hire a pro. All signs point to travel agents, once declared obsolete, making a comeback. “The price you pay for doing all the work yourself is the same price you pay if you book through a travel agent. It’s a myth that it’s cheaper to book on your own,” Murphy says. In fact, it can be cheaper to use an agent: “The Marriott in Cancun, for example,

will give you the same price no matter where you book, if it’s the Marriott site or Expedia,” he explains. “But if you book with a travel agent, you might get an unpublished value-added offer [such as a dining credit] that is only available through an agent.” Not only can travel agents score you savings, plus sift through the overload of information so you don’t have

to, they’re also a resource if something goes wrong on the trip. “If there’s a problem with the hotel, you can call the agent and ask them to fix it,” he says. “So now you have an advocate who’s going to deal with it. If you book through Expedia, who are you going to call? Not every trip comes out perfect — my best travel tip is use a travel agent.”

FANTASY HOOPS: HOW TO UTILIZE USAGE AS A NEXT-LEVEL STAT FANTASY SPORTS

ADAM LEVITAN alevitan@metro.us

Mom’s basement is getting crowded these days. Everyone wants to get in on the buzz word of our generation: “analytics.” To many executives in sports and a lot of people who walked 4 miles through snow to get to school, the mere word analytics makes them shiver in fear. To some fantasy players, it’s overwhelming. There is no reason for these feelings. Using advanced stats to measure a player’s impact is relatively simple. For our purposes with fantasy basketball, usage rate is the most actionable metric. The exact formula for it involves field-goal

attempts, free-throw attempts, turnovers, assists, pace and minutes. But the bottom line is that it tells us how involved a player is on offense. The more usage, the more chance to post stats. With that in mind, here are players who have room to grow based on their usage rate.

usage rate of 27.3 shows us he’s a huge part of the Nuggets’ rebuild. In DFS leagues and season-long formats that are not impacted by efficiency, the 19-year-old Mudiay will bring back some value in the right matchups.

Kobe steak well done

The Kobe Bryant situation is a bit of a running joke. The Lakers have forsaken the progress of young players so he can do a Farewell Tour and jack up 17.3 shots a night. Kobe sits out home games and plays on the road so fans can have the “pleasure” of seeing him one more time. All that said, when Bryant does suit up he’s going to put up numbers via a top-10 usage rate of 29.8. In games he actually shoots over 45 percent, it’ll be ham.

Urging on Irving Kyrie Irving sat out the first 1½ months of the season as he recovered from a fractured kneecap. His return has predictably been a bit rocky, highlighted by a dreadful outing Sunday in a dream matchup against the Sixers. But Irving is a great bet to string together some massive games once he gets going. Even though he’s been limited by the injury, Irving’s 30.5 usage rate is seventh in the NBA. That’s

Upcoming MLS SuperDraft pivotal for rebuilding Union The Union have two top-six picks in Thursday’s draft. JEFF MCMENAMIN @Jeff_McMenamin sports@metro.us

On Thursday, the Union begin their rebuild. Under the guidance of newly acquired sporting director, Earnie Stewart, the Union have a crucial day ahead of them at the 2016 MLS SuperDraft. The Union own both the third and sixth pick in the draft. For a team that finished 10-17-7 in 2015, there’s a lot of work ahead of Stewart to make this team competitive again in 2016. “With the third and the sixth pick, there is a real opportunity for us to see players that will not only come in, but come in and contribute,â€? Union manager Jim Curtin said. “We will identify those guys, Earnie has been very good at clarifying the roles that we want and that we want a Philadelphia team to look like and to be a part of what the city is and to meet all those traits.â€? The Union ranked second to last in goal differential last season, with a putrid minus-13. On both sides of the ball, the Union struggled mightily. They were the only team in the league with both less than 43 goals (15th) and more than 54 goals allowed (17th).Â

3&6 THE UNION HOLD THE THIRD AND SIXTH PICKS IN THE SUPER DRAFT, AIRING THURSDAY AT 1 P.M. ON ESPN.

Both Draftutopia. com and SBNation.com have the Union selecting defender Brandon Vincent from Stanford with the third pick. Vincent played both left back and center back in college. They differ in their selection for the sixth pick. Draftutopia.com has forward Fabian Herbers of Creighton coming to the team, who netted 15 goals, 17 assists and 47 points in 2015. SBNation .com has the Union taking forward Omar Holness of North Carolina, who impressed teams greatly at the MLS combine due to his versatility. Whatever combination the Union decide to go with, it seems clear that they’ll likely address both offense and defense with their top-two selections. They also own the 23rd pick in the second round. “Our goal is to get starters and to make sure our roster is as strong as possible because we all believe at Philadelphia that if we can get two good players in every

Union have missed with recent ďŹ rstround picks The Union have a rough going in the ďŹ rst round. They hope to buck the trend when they select third and sixth overall in Thursday afternoon’s MLS SuperDraft: 2015: No selections 2014: Pick No. 1, Andre Blake, Goalie – The Union sent the No. 2 overall selection and allocation money to D.C. United in exchange for Blake. For a top pick in the draft, Blake has severely underperformed but has shown signs of promise in seven starts. His record stands at 2-4-1 and has 33 saves versus 11 goals against in his career. 2013: Traded out of ďŹ rst round 2012: Pick No. 13, Chandler Homan, Forward – Homan appeared in just seven games in one season with the Union. He registered zero goals, buried behind Jack McInerney and Antoine Happenot in the lineup. He was traded to the LA Galaxy for a conditional pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.

There is no concensus on who the Union will select third overall. Many say it could be UNC’s Omar Holness. GETTY IMAGES

our goal and obviously going into this you have to make sure that you identify those players,

and there are a couple of players here that will directly have impact here as starters.�

2011: Pick No. 5, Zac MacMath, Goalie – MacMath had an inconsistent career with the Union which ended tumultuously after the Union drafted goalie Andre Blake and signed goalie Rais M’Bolhi in the 2014 season. MacMath, who registered a 34-39-29 record with the Union from 2011-2014, was loaned to the Colorado Rapids prior to the 2015 season before being traded to the Rapids in December for a second-round draft pick in 2017. He’s the Union’s all-time leader in starts (102) shutouts (28) and saves (287).

Taurus Listen to the advice offered, but make up your own mind. You will have the insight and knowledge to make the best choice. Gemini Be cautious how you divide your time. Don’t be too willing to give your all to someone else’s cause or concern.

Cancer Don’t fear doing things differently. A change will do you good and spark new ideas that can help you make personal and professional gains. Leo You’ll mesmerize those you encounter with your lively attitude and innovative ideas. Good fortune will come through the connections you make.

Virgo Explore new places in order to discover interesting opportunities, but first take care of your responsibilities at home before someone complains.

Libra Getting together with people who understand you and can help you see a personal situation clearly will help to ease your mind. Scorpio Don’t be too trusting of someone showering you with compliments. Ulterior motives lie behind kind gestures. Focus inward.

Sagittarius Problems will develop if you travel or get into an emotional scuffle with someone equally as passionate about winning as you are.
