3 things you need to know MIAMI MARLINS STAR PITCHER JOSE FERNANDEZ KILLED IN BOAT CRASH

1

Miami Marlins star Jose Fernandez, one of the most dominant pitchers in professional baseball, was killed in a boating crash early on Sunday in Florida, the U.S. Coast Guard said. He was 24 years old. Fernandez was one of three men killed when the 32-foot boat collided with a rocky jetty off of Miami Beach, the Coast Guard said. The identities of the two other crash victims were not released. “All of baseball is shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez,” Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “He was one of our game’s young stars who made a dramatic impact on and off the field.” Emergency crews responded to reports of an boat overturned on a jetty near the Government Cut shipping channel and South Pointe Park at about 3:30 a.m. local time, the Coast Guard said. The bodies of three deceased men between the ages of 24 and 27, including Fernandez, were found on and underneath the boat, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Lorenzo Veloz said at a news conference.

TRAIN DRIVER WOUNDED AS BOMB ON RAIL LINE EXPLODES IN TURKEY

2

The driver of a freight train was slightly wounded on Sunday when a bomb left on a railway track in southeastern Turkey was detonated as the train came past, security sources said, blaming Kurdish militants for the explosion. The train’s locomotive was damaged in the incident near the town of Saray in Van province, near the Iranian border, the sources said on condition of anonymity. There were no immediate claims of responsibility. The Kurdistan Workers Party, which has waged a three-decade insurgency against Turkish forces, has in the past attacked railroads, pipelines and other targets it considers strategic in the mainly Kurdish southeast.

AUTUMN USHERS IN COOLER TEMPERATURE Bolaris’ Weather Watch

JOHN BOLARIS @weathersavior

You’re waking up to the coolest morning in a long time, and yes we even have some frost on the pumpkin in the distant suburbs of Philadelphia, New York City and Boston. Cooler temperatures should remain locked-in through the week, with daytime highs mainly in the pleasant 70s and overnight lows mainly in the 50s. Big question marks as far as just how dry or wet this week will turn out to be as computer models are far apart in any consistency. Right now, I’m very confident that after a beautiful day today, we will see widespread

showers start to move in mainly late tonight across the Northeast I-95 corridor, and the rain should continue into at least midday Tuesday. Keep in mind we NEED the rain, as much of the Northeast remains in moderate to severe drought conditions. Computer models are split on how the second half of this week and the weekend will turn out? Right now, I believe a coastal low could form along the Carolina coast late Wednesday night and then move slowly northeastward with needed rains spilling into Philadelphia and New York City on Thursday. The rain should make its way into Boston as well, and that rain could linger into Friday, especially along coastal areas. The weekend picture remains unclear. Too early to give you any type of forecast with confidence

for your upcoming weekend as some models stall the front and give us unsettled weather right through your weekend as others have the rain clearing on the coast, so I’m not ready to give you a green light for the weekend.

Hurricane Matthew to form? A tropical disturbance off the Cabo Verde Islands (far eastern Atlantic) is rather disorganized currently. However, the hurricane forecast center is giving this disturbance an 80-percent chance of intensification into possible hurricane status over the next several days. The Windward Islands would first need to pay attention to the future track, and long-range guidance suggests that it’s not out of the question that the U.S mainland might need to watch this closely as a few models bend potential

Philly Today: Sunshine, mixing with clouds, High 74 Tuesday: Showers until mid-day, HIgh 73 Wednesday: Sun to clouds, late shower, High 75 Thursday: Periods of rain, High 71 Friday: Breaks of sun, showers, High 72 Weekend Saturday: Showers, High 70 Sunday: Clearing, High 75 Matthew toward the Gulf of Mexico or the southeast coast during the first week of October, with its tropical rains moving up the eastern seaboard. Any forecasts beyond five days is subject to large errors.

BEEN INJURED? AUTO ACCIDENTS • SEPTA ACCIDENTS • LIQUOR LIABILITY • MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Did You Know? Wrongful death claims are brought against a person who has caused someone’s death either negligently or intentionally. Wrongful death claims allow the estate of the deceased person to sue the party who is responsible. The suit is usually filed by a representative of the estate, on behalf of surviving family members. A survival claim is brought by the estate for the damages the deceased person would be entitled if they had lived, such as the pain the deceased suffered from the time of negligence through death. Wrongful death and survival claims can occur in a variety of situations, including medical malpractice and accidents. If a doctor or other health care provider was careless, and death resulted, an action can be brought. Car accident fatalities involving negligence can be wrongful death, if a victim dies as a result of injuries caused by another driver’s carelessness.

WE CAN HELP YOU: • MEDICAL MALPRACTICE • SEPTA ACCIDENTS • AUTO ACCIDENTS • SLIP AND FALL INJURIES • MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS • BIRTH INJURY

These are just a few examples of personal injury cases that are wrongful death/survival claims. A wrongful death/survival claim can stem from almost any kind of personal injury situation resulting in death. Spouses, children, and other dependents may suffer from financial loss and emotional stress caused by the wrongful death of a loved one. Family members often can recover for a wrongful death from the harm left behind by an accidental death. If you have lost a loved one due to another’s carelessness or negligence, call us at 215-569-1212 to explore whether you may have the right to recover full compensation for your loss.

Everything you need to know about tonight’s first presidential debate Clinton and Trump.

message about interplanetary exploration (“The future of the human race is space exploration,” he said Sunday).

AMANDA MIKELBERG @MetroBOS

amanda.mikelberg@metro.us

Millions of Americans will be riveted to television and computer screens tonight for the first face-to-face encounter between two presidential candidates whose political philosophies could not be more diametrically opposed. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump square-off in the first of three scheduled debates in what many have described as an unconventional election campaign. Each candidate heads into the debate facing not only their opponent, but also obstacles of their own making: public vitriol stemming from Trump’s bullying, race-baiting campaign; Clinton’s email trouble, questionable health and an image shaped in part by her husband’s presidency. A first debate primer: THE PROGRAM — NBC’s Lester Holt will moderate the 90-minute debate at Long Island’s Hofstra Uni-

ENDORSEMENTS — Heading into the debate each candidate scored a highprofile endorsement. The New York Times’ editorial board threw its support behind Clinton. One-time rival for the Republican presidential nomination Ted Cruz finally endorsed Trump.

versity, which is expected to fetch the biggest audience for a presidential debate ever, possibly matching or exceeding Super Bowl 2015’s 114.4 million viewers. The format will be six 15-minute segments, two of which are dedicated to topics Holt selected: America’s direction, achieving prosperity, and securing America. The rest of the time will be used for rebuttals and deeper discussion of those topics. POLLS — With only 42 days to go until the general election on Nov. 8, anything can make or break these campaigns.

The debates are expected to be a significant factor in the general election as the candidates are in a true tie, each with 41 percent among registered voters (and Clinton leading Trump 46 to 44 percent among “likely voters”), according to the Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday. The same poll reports that 36 percent of likely voters said there is at least a small chance the debate will change their minds. And three-quarters of the registered voters polled said they will be watching tonight. PROTESTS — Not all the

action will be on the stage. Thousands of protesters are expected to gather outside Hofstra; among them is expected to be Green Party candidate Jill Stein, whose numbers did not qualify her for the debate, but whose supporters will stage a “Let Jill Debate” protest and a subsequent “People’s Debate.” Over 1,500 fast-food workers will be there on behalf of a $15 minimum wage. And some from the New York Communists said they will go to rail against Trump. The other Independent, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, will be in New York spreading his

TACTICS — The big noise yesterday came from reports that the Trump campaign invited Gennifer Flowers, a formerfling of Bill Clinton, to the debate, which they later denied but which succeeded to bring that aspect of Clinton’s past into the spotlight. The Clinton campaign defended their invitation to Shark Tank business guru Mark Cuban. The Clinton strategy includes emphasis on fact-checking during the debate, and the theory that Trump’s rash temperament, above all, disqualifies him. SCREENS AND STREAMS — TV - All three presidential debates will air on most prime networks: ABC, NBC, Fox, Fox News,

CBS, MSNBC, Univision and C-SPAN. Online - The digital news providers will also have livestreams: Buzzfeed News, Huffington Post, Politico, Yahoo, Telemundo, The Daily Caller will be broadcasting along with the simulcasts offered online by most of the prime-time broadcasters listed above. Social – Social media has plenty of alternative ways to appreciate and join the debate: Twitter teams with Bloomberg for a livestream, Snapchat will be pumping out Live Stories. Facebook Live will feature other journalists and audience members at Hofstra. FOR THE MOST FUN — Clever apps that will make your debate experience even more fun include “HillaryDonald” which allows you to virtually “boo” or “cheer” the candidates by shaking or tapping your phone – those stats are translated into live maps and graphs showing the reaction from around the country. Another one, called TwitterScope, combs tweets for negative and positive sentiments and pumps out scores.

PHILADELPHIA

BRIEFS Michelle Obama, Biden to campaign in Philly The Hillary Clinton campaign will continue to bring political stars to Philadelphia, with visits planned this week from Michelle Obama and Joe Biden. With less than 50 days to the presidential election and polls showing an increasingly tight race in battleground state Pennsylvania, big-ticket Democrats have been parading through Philly recently.

Thousands got to see President Barack Obama campaign at a free outdoor rally that was open to the public, Clinton spoke at Temple University to address issues of concern to millennials, and civil rights icon John Lewis attended the opening of a new campaign office in West Philly to urge residents to vote. This Tuesday, Vice President Biden will be at Drexel University for National Voter Registration

Day to urge voters to register before the Oct. 11 deadline. The event, at 10:45 a.m. in Drexel’s Great Court, is free and open to the public. The first lady, meanwhile, will campaign in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on Wednesday. In Philly, Obama will campaign at a noontime rally at LaSalle University. She’ll speak at the University of Pittsburgh that afternoon.

Clinton may need all the help she can get to win the Keystone State’s coveted 20 electoral votes. Most polls still show Clinton leading in Pennsylvania. But a poll released Sunday by the Morning Call paper and Muhlenberg College found Clinton’s lead down to just three percentage points, leading 44-41 in the state, a steep drop from her nine-point lead earlier this summer.

Council to conduct hearings on burglaries targeting Asian businesses At least 11 Asian-American businesses have been hit during the crime spree. SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

A series of burglaries and home-invasion robberies targeting AsianAmericans has prompted City Hall to conduct hearings to address the problem. “We need to resolve this issue quickly, especially on behalf of the victims, and develop a plan to prevent future crimes,” City Councilman David Oh said in a statement announcing the hearings. “This is a public safety concern,” he said. “This is an economic concern. This is an international concern, because these episodes can lead toward characterizations of Philadelphia in Asia as a city that is unfriendly to immigrants.” The hearings are intended to give victims a chance to speak out and share concerns with representatives of law enforcement agencies. The move was authorized after a resolution introduced by Oh unanimously passed City Council last week. “The targeting of Asian business owners is especially traumatic for immigrant small business owners who speak limited English,” Oh’s office

said in a news release. More than a dozen Asian-American businesses have been targeted since May in burglaries and home invasions. “In most reported incidences, offenders carrying handguns have invaded upstairs residences above food businesses,” according to Oh’s office. The police department has released surveillance images of two suspects from the crime spree, which targeted 11 Asianowned businesses around Philly since May. “In many of the incidents, the suspects break into the closed businesses where the residences are attached and tie the occupants while threatening and robbing them at gunpoint taking money, cigarettes, jewelry and electronics,” the police department wrote. A week after releasing the surveillance images, police identified the suspects as Anthony Campbell and Norman Bowen, who were swiftly apprehended. However, there may be more suspects out there, investigators said. Bowen and Campbell were charged with only eight of the original 11 incidents reported. “While some of the criminal perpetrators have been apprehended, several remain at large,” Oh’s office said in a news release “The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are continuing to work to find suspects and bring justice to these robbery victims.”

Investigators were working to determine what led a gunman to open fire and kill five people in a department store at a Washington state mall, police said on Sunday after arresting a 20-yearold suspect in the deadly rampage. Police took Turkishborn Arcan Cetin into custody on Saturday evening in Oak Harbor, about 30 miles southwest of Burlington where the shooting occurred on Friday night. Cetin’s demeanor when apprehended was “zombie-like,� police said at a news conference. He was unarmed and did not run from officers, they said. A motive for the rampage remains unclear and Cetin, who is due to appear in court on Monday, has not been charged. Cetin, who police said is a legal, permanent resident of the United States, is accused of opening fire in the cosmetics section of a Macy’s department store at Cascade Mall, killing four women and a man. Surveillance video showed the suspect entering the mall without a

rifle but he was later spotted on video in the store brandishing a weapon, police said. The rifle was recovered at the mall. The attack followed a series of violent outbursts at shopping centers across the United States, including the stabbing of nine people at a Minnesota center last weekend. It comes at a time of heightened tensions in the United States after a succession of seemingly random attacks in public places, ranging from a gay night club in Orlando, Florida, to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado. Investigators planned to search Cetin’s Oak Harbor residence, vehicle and interview witnesses on Sunday to collect evi-

Trump Tower in New York, Trump told Netanyahu that under his administration, the United States would “recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel.� While Israel calls Jerusalem its capital, few other countries accept that, including the United States. Most nations maintain embassies in Tel Aviv. Palestinians want East Jerusalem, captured by Israel in a 1967 war, as capital of the state they aim to establish alongside

Israel in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. During the closed-door meeting, the campaign said that Trump agreed with Netanyahu that peace in the Middle East could only be achieved when “the Palestinians renounce hatred and violence and accept Israel as a Jewish State.� According to a readout of the meeting from the campaign, the two discussed “at length� Israel’s border fence,

dence and “build as good as a case as you can,� said Sergeant Mark Francis, a spokesman for the Washington State Police. Police have reports that Cetin’s ex-girlfriend worked at the Macy’s, Francis said. The possible connection was under investigation. Cetin has a crimi-

nal record that includes three domestic violence charges in which his stepfather was the victim, the Seattle Times reported, citing court records. He also was arrested for drunken driving and barred by a judge in December from possessing a firearm, the newspaper reported without providing details. Reuters was unable to confirm the reports. Police did not identify the victims but local media said they ranged in age from mid-teens to mid-90s, and included a mother and her daughter. The Skagit County Coroner’s Office said it planned to release information about shooting victims on Monday. REUTERS

BRIEF Trump tells Netanyahu he would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Sunday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that if elected, the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the campaign said, marking a potential dramatic shift in U.S. policy on the issue.

Other regional issues, including the ďŹ ght against Islamic State, U.S. military assistance to Israel — “an excellent investmentâ€? — and the Iran nuclear deal, which both parties have criticized, were also discussed.

Protesters have filled the city’s streets for nearly a week in response to the killing of Keith Scott. More than 100 people chanted and marched outside a National Football League game in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday in protests over police killing a black man, a day after police released videos of the confrontation. The video did not show clearly whether Scott had a gun at the time, and Charlotte, the state’s largest city and one of the U.S. Southeast’s most vibrant urban centers, remains the latest flashpoint in two years of tense protests over U.S. police killings of black men, many of them unarmed. Small groups of police in riot gear chatted with fans as they arrived for the NFL game between the Carolina Panthers and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, while a peaceful crowd of protesters swelled to more than 100 people. “Black lives matter,” the demonstrators chant-

ed. “We don’t need no riot gear. Why are you in riot gear?” As their numbers swelled, police officers on bicycles kept the protesters out of the path of arriving fans. Among them was Simon Gebrekristos, a 26-year-old Panthers fan who works at a gas station. He arrived at the stadium holding tickets he said had cost him $160, but decided against going inside after seeing the protesters. “I can go to the game any other time,” he said. Inside the stadium,

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton signaled his support during the pre-game workout by wearing a T-shirt with a Martin Luther King Jr. quote: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” About two thirds of NFL players are black, and several players in the league, including San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, have taken to bending down on one knee during the pre-game singing of the national anthem in protest at police violence.

Spanish regional elections fail to break political deadlock Two inconclusive general elections in December and June have plunged politicians into months of fruitless negotiations to try to assemble a government. Their inability to form a coalition means the country could be headed for a third election. Spain’s regional elections reinforced the centerright People’s Party (PP) on Sunday while dealing a blow to the opposition Socialists but failed to signal a clear path to avoid a third nationwide vote in December. The ballots in the northern regions of Gali-

cia and the Basque Country boosted acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy while the Socialists lost seats in both regions, but it remains to be seen if the results lead the Socialists to abstain in any future parliamentary vote of confidence to allow Rajoy a second term as leader. Rajoy’s PP easily romped to an absolute majority in his native Galicia, a conservative stronghold. The PP have ruled this rainy, northwestern region for most of Spain’s four-decade democracy. The conservative regional party, the Basque Nationalist Party, won most votes in the Basque Country, as expected, although not enough to rule by majority. It will now seek a coalition partner, most likely the Socialists. In both ballots, the

Socialists lost seats from previous elections four years ago, ceding votes to anti-austerity newcomer Podemos (“We Can�). The poor results for the 137-year-old social democrat group will make it harder for leader Pedro Sanchez to form a coalition with Podemos and market-friendly Ciudadanos at national level, something he failed to do in any case following December’s general election.

Kerry’s ceaseless diplomacy faces sternest test on Syria Kerry hammered out the truce two weeks ago, but was left pleading in vain with Russia last week to halt renewed air strikes on the besieged city of Aleppo. John Kerry had heard enough. After last week’s bombing of a U.N. aid convoy in Syria dealt a death blow to a cease-fire deal in which he had invested all his diplomatic capital with Russia, the U.S. Secretary of State tossed aside a page of notes and looked at Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov across the horseshoe-shaped table in the U.N. Security Council. “I listened to my colleague from Russia, and I sort of felt a little bit like they’re sort of in a parallel universe here,” said a visibly angry Kerry, effective-

ly calling Lavrov a liar for blaming the United States for spoiling the cease-fire. The moment in some ways captured the former politician’s time as the top U.S. diplomat, which will end with a new administration in January. Not for the first time, Kerry had invested months of intensive diplomacy and tireless traveling on an issue only to end up feeling let down or deceived by negotiating partners. On Syria, Kerry has wanted greater U.S. involvement than President Barack Obama was willing to support. In an interview on Friday with Reuters, Kerry said Lavrov’s “blatant obfuscation of reality ... took my breath away.” The attempted Syria ceasefire was his most ambitious effort to fix what some argue was the biggest foreign policy misstep of Obama’s admin-

istration, which began with the failure in 2013 to follow through on a “red line” threat against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over the use of chemical weapons. James Dobbins, a former U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan, noted Kerry’s “tireless, ceaseless engagement” even when pursuing administration policies he didn’t always agree with. “Kerry to his credit has stayed in the game even when he had a weak hand,” said Dobbins, a career diplomat who worked alongside Kerry in 2013 to hammer out a deal with President Hamid Karzai to keep U.S. forces in Afghanistan. “The situation in Syria is too serious and too consequential to simply back off and leave it to others.” From Kerry’s perspective, it is better to fail than not to have tried.

“The weakest hand of all would be to have another round of migrants going into Europe, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin do whatever he wants by dropping bombs and the United States doing nothing but pretending we’re sending some support to people,” Kerry told Reuters. “That is the weakest hand, and it is far stronger to stand up and find a way to leverage getting to the table and getting some kind of an understanding,” he added. In his nearly four years as America’s top diplomat, Kerry has racked up more miles than any other secretary of state, sometimes appearing to rush in without a clear strategy. “It is clear that Kerry is prepared to take greater risks with his own personal reputation than others might have ... because they did not want to be

identified with failure,” said Dobbins. But some critics say Kerry stayed in the game too long in negotiating with Russia, which they argue manipulated his quest for a deal over Syria to strengthen its position. The Syrian conflict, with its shifting geopolitical forces, complex new alliances and new threats such as the rise of Islamic State, has tested Kerry like no other issue. After Obama declined to carry out threatened attacks on Assad’s forces over chemical weapons, Kerry perceived an opening to work with Lavrov on an agreement to get Syria to turn over its

chemical arsenal, he told Reuters. That deal struck in 2013 was considered a success, but the war has since deteriorated and grown more complex following Russia’s military intervention backing Assad last year. Now the continuing cease-fire push by Kerry strikes some as hopeless gesturing. “Kerry’s plan is to do more of the same despite the repeated failure of U.S. attempts to strike a deal with Russia,” said Mutasem Alsyofi of the Syrian Civil Society Declaration Initiative, who met Kerry in New York last week.

A gunman shot dead Jordanian writer Nahed Hattar on Sunday outside the court where he was to stand trial on charges of contempt of religion after sharing on social media a caricature seen as insulting Islam, witnesses and state media said. The gunman was arrested at the scene, state news agency Petra said. A security source said he was a 39-year-old Muslim preacher in a mosque in the capital. Hattar, a Christian and a anti-Islamist activist who was a supporter of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was arrested last month after he shared a caricature that depicted a bearded man in heaven smoking in bed with women and asking God to bring him wine and cashews. In the cartoon, the man also asks God to clear his dishes and put a door on his tent and knock before entering.

Many conservative Muslim Jordanians considered Hattar’s move offensive and against their religion. The authorities said he violated the law by sharing the caricature. The state news agency quoted a security source as saying Hattar was killed by a man who fired three shots at him on the steps of the palace of justice in the Jordanian capital. “The assailant was arrested and investigations are ongoing,� Petra quoted the security source as saying. Two witnesses said the gunman was wearing a traditional Arab dishashada, worn by ultra conservative Sunni Salafis who adhere to a puritanical version of Islam and shun Western lifestyles. Some secular and liberal supporters of Hattar said his arrest last month was a breach of freedom of speech but other Jordanians thought the

caricature’s publication had crossed a red line in a Muslim country where it is a taboo to attack God or the prophet Muhammad. Hattar was charged with contempt of religion and sowing sectarian tensions. The country’s highest official religious fatwa authority criticized Hattar for what it said was the “insult to the divine entity, Islam and religious symbols.� Hattar had apologized on social media and said he did not mean to insult

God but had shared the cartoon to mock fundamentalist Sunni radicals and what he said was their vision of God and heaven. He had accused his Islamist opponents of using the cartoon to settle scores with him. Hattar also supported restricting the rights and privileges of Jordanians of Palestinian descent. The Jordanian government condemned the attack. â€œThe law will be strictly enforced on the culprit who did this criminal act and will hit with an iron fist anyone who tries to harm state of law,â€? government spokesman Mohammad Momani said. The moderate Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group also warned against a flare up in religious and sectarian tensions in a country in which Jordanian Christians are a minority but wield wide political and economic influence.

New Men’s Pleasure Pill Makes ED Remedies Obsolete Soaring Demand for New Sex Pill that Gives Men Longer, Better and More Intense Sex By Harlan S. Waxman Health News Syndicate New York – If you’re like the rest of us guys over 50; you probably already know the truth… “Viagra® doesn’t work! Simply getting an erection doesn’t fix the problem” says Dr. Bassam Damaj, chief scientific officer at the world famous Innovus Pharma Laboratories. As we get older, we need more help in bed. Not only does our desire fade; but erections can be soft or feeble, one of the main complaints with Viagra®. Besides, Viagra® is expensive… costing as much as $50.00 a pill. Plus, it does nothing to stimulate your brain to want sex. “I don’t care what you take, if you aren’t interested in sex, you can’t get or keep an erection. It’s physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Damaj.

MADE JUST FOR MEN OVER 50 But now, for the first time ever, there’s a pill made just for older men. It’s called Vesele®. A new pill that helps you get an erection by stimulating your body and your brainwaves. So Vesele® can work even when nothing else worked before. The new men’s pill is not a drug. It’s something completely different Because you don’t need a prescription for Vesele®, sales are exploding. The maker just can’t produce enough of it to keep up with demand. Even doctors are having a tough time getting their hands on it. So what’s all the fuss about?

WORKS ON YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BODY The new formula takes on erectile problems with a whole new twist. It doesn’t just address the physical problems of getting older; it works on the mental part of sex too. Unlike Viagra®, the new pill stimulates your sexual brain chemistry as well. Actually helping you regain the passion and burning desire you had for your partner again. So you will want sex with the hunger and stamina of a 25-year-old.

work on your brainwaves to stimulate your desire for sex. The results were remarkable and published in the world’s most respected medical journals. THE SCIENCE OF SEX The study asked men, 45 to 65 years old to take the main ingredient in Vesele® once a day. Then they were instructed not to change the way they eat or exercise but to take Vesele® twice a day. What happened next was remarkable. Virtually every man in the study who took Vesele® twice a day reported a huge difference in their desire for sex. In layman’s terms, they were horny again. They also experienced harder erections that lasted for almost 20 minutes. The placebo controlled group (who received sugar pills) mostly saw no difference.

mind/body connection is unbeatable when achieving and maintaining an erection and the results are remarkable” said Dr. Damaj. (His findings are illustrated in the charts below.)

JAW-DROPPING CLINICAL PROOF Satisfaction—Increase from 41.4% to 88.1% Frequency—Increase from 44.9% to 79.5% Desire—Increase from 47.9% to 82% Hardness—Increase from 36.2% to 85.7% Duration—Increase from 35% to 79.5% Hardness—Increase from 36.2% to 85.7% Ability to Satisfy—Increase from 44.1% to 83.3% AN UNEXPECTED BONUS: The study results even showed an impressive increase in the energy, brain-power and memory of the participants.

SUPPLY LIMITED BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND “Once we saw the results we knew we had a game-changer said Dr. Damaj. We get hundreds of calls a day from people begging us for a bottle. It’s been crazy. We try to meet the crushing demand for Vesele®.”

HERE’S WHAT MEN ARE SAYING • I’m ready to go sexually and mentally. • More frequent erections in the night (while sleeping) and in the morning. • I have seen a change in sexual desire. • Typically take 1 each morning and 1 each night. Great stamina results! • An increased intensity in orgasms. • My focus (mental) has really improved… Huge improvement. • Amazing orgasms! • I really did notice a great improvement in my ability.

HOW TO GET VESELE® This is the first official public release of Vesele® since its news release. In order to get the word out about Vesele®, Innovus Pharma is offering special introductory discounts to all who call.

THE BRAIN/ERECTION CONNECTION Vesele takes off where Viagra® only begins. Thanks to a discovery made by 3 Nobel-Prize winning scientists; Vesele® has become the first ever patented supplement to harden you and your libido. So you regain your desire as well as the ability to act on it.

New men’s pill overwhelms your senses with sexual desire as well as firmer, long-lasting erections. There’s never been anything like it before.

DOCTOR: “VESELE® PASSED THE TEST” “As a doctor, I’ve studied the effectiveness of Nitric Oxide on the body and the brain. I’m impressed by the way it increases cerebral and penile blood flow. The result is evident in the creation of Vesele®. It’s sure-fire proof that the

From the slums to the chessboard to Hollywood Phiona Mutesi talks “Queen of Katwe,” which shows how she escaped poverty in Uganda.

IMAGES The movie, by Indian filmmaker Mira Nair (“Monsoon Wedding”), manages to blend uplift with an honest depiction of the world its hero escaped. Mutesi was born and, up until a few years ago lived, in Katwe, a slum of the Ugandan city Kampala. Her father died of an AIDS-related illness when was about three. An older sister, Juliet, passed when she was about 9.

If you ever wondered what it’s like to watch a movie about yourself, you can always ask Phiona Mutesi. When we speak, it’s been just a day since she saw “Queen of Katwe,” the film based on her life. Some would find that a surreal experience. Not Mutesi. “It was so humbling and so emotional,” Mutesi tells us. “I had to brush away tears every time something happened. I just couldn’t believe it.” The movie would move anyone. It’s an underdog story, and Mutesi’s might be the ultimate example. “Katwe” shows a woman who went from a slum kid in Uganda to a teen chess champion, playing around the world when she was no older

water. Along with her mother, Harriet, her two brothers and a niece, she had to move six times in four years, settling for no more than shacks or tiny rooms. Mutesi does not know her date of birth, as records are not often kept in Katwe. These days Mutesi, now about 20, speaks to a barrage of journalists covering a movie that skips some of these details, but still conveys her brilliance at an elite game. It shows her (played by Madina Nalwanga) discovering a chess club for kids, run out of a local dilapidated church, by Oyelowo’s Robert Katende.

ery mother (Nyong’o). The movie ends around 2012. What has happened since? For one thing, Mutesi has been traveling, both for her chess tournaments and for the film. She’s a fan of California. “I like its weather. It’s like Uganda,” she says. She’s not a fan of New York, though. “It’s so noisy. I couldn’t believe it.” When she’s back in Uganda — in a house her family could afford after both the film and a book, by Jim Crothers, published in 2012 — she lives a normal life. She still goes to high school, and her studies mean less time for chess, which she can only practice on the holidays. (Though she did participate in an Olympiad a couple weeks ago.) Her last exam is in November, and she’s considering university. Her

preference is Harvard, and she wants to go into law. “In the slums, no one is there to speak on your behalf. They don’t have rights,” she says. “I want to speak for the kids.” Her real mother, by the way, is doing well, Mutesi says. Harriet mostly stays in their new home. “She’s no longer struggling for food. She’s doing great where she is right now,” she explains. Harriet hasn’t seen the movie yet, but she did get to spend time with the Oscar-winning actress playing her. “Now they are really friends,” she says. Nyong’o, Mutesi says, got her mom exactly. “Everything she does, it’s the same as my mom, how she used to act. It’s all true.”

Glass Animals know The British electropop ensemble goes from dark to bright and moody to light on their new album. A.D. AMOROSI @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

For a quartet of funloving Brits who’ve known each other since childhood, England’s Glass Animals are as capable of creating deeply moody musical interludes as they are springy electronic dance tracks. Though run-through with the rhythms and righteous chord changes of R&B and hip-hop, the band’s first album, “Zaba� (2014) was an eerily, atmospheric epic. Glass Animals’ just-released sophomore effort, “How to Be a Human Being,� however, is bolder, brighter and blunter in its execution of electro-soul with a rap-rock kick.

setting? We knew each other starting when we were pretty small. Small like tiny, or small like young? [Laughs] Young, like 12 or 13. We went to school together as kids. There was really no music involved, apart from the occasional band that would come through Ipswich. There were lots of festivals then. We loved music, but it was never a thing until we started playing together much, much later in our lives together. That was kind of cool, actually — we were friends long before college, long before music. You say age 12 or 13. What bands were you guys drawn to? Really anything that came through this club called the Zodiac – a really dingy place with sticky walls and rats dead in the corner. It was both horrible but really great. Guitar bands like Bloc Party came through and did their thing. Maximo Park was big there. LCD Soundsystem was a game-changer for us, though — they really got us thinking about

Have you just cheered up? It’s probably a confidence thing, being a bit braver — cheering up, that’s funny. Plus, I don’t think we knew much about anything when we did that first album, so many things went wrong. At the very least, this new album is more right than wrong. We pushed ourselves emotionally because we wanted to get across the sentiment; same thing with any real anger that we were trying to show. We also weren’t worrying about polishing things too much, so maybe the new album is more relaxed.

BRIAN VULORES

The calm before the storm Germany’s Roosevelt slips into the gray zone between club pop and garage rock on his debut album, but you’ll still want to dance to it. It is “the calm before the storm,” says Marius Lauber, aka electronic pop artist Roosevelt, speaking from his studio in Cologne, Germany. “I’m charging the battery.” Not the one in his phone or any other device; the artist is referring to his internal battery. He’s gearing up to tour for his selftitled debut album, which was released in August. In this very same studio, Lauber seamlessly crafted songs from sweeping electronic soundscapes, sultry Latin boogie beats, and ’80s club pop a la Duran Duran. Lauber’s incandescent voice floats in and out of the music, creating a hazy daisy of an album filled with dreamy and very danceable songs. Except, Lauber doesn’t aim to create dance music per se. “I never wanted to be

techno and make people dance,” says the 26-yearold, who grew up an hour outside of Cologne. “When I started playing guitar in bands in school, bands like The Strokes were coming up. We played a lot of Strokes songs, and [Red Hot] Chili Peppers, and Arctic Monkeys; the kind of thing a teenage boy in a band wants to play. I like to be in the gray zone between guitar-based songs and club music. I come from the rock world.” That may be, but Lauber, who will tour as a three-piece with a drummer and bassist, says he isn’t into being in a band anymore. “I wanted to realize my own music,” he says of going solo. “I spent eight years in bands, and I eventually decided to come out of my comfort zone. I was just a bit bored with the whole band format. Sometimes there’s an amazing energy especially live, but in the studio I would get bored by

how slow it can be. Everyone has to agree on every decision, and it can be exhausting.” Lauber credits a move to Cologne and immersion in the club scene for tailoring his supercatchy, supersmart dance sound. “It’s a mix of all the different things I listen to. The album has influences like Nile Rogers and Giorgio Moroder: classic ’70s disco; and maybe ’70s pop music, too. But my idea isn’t to sound retro; it’s always to make contemporary pop music out of it all.” As for his distinguished nom de plume, the name hasn’t much to do with the iconic American political family. “It’s linked to how I write lyrics: I have to like the sound of a word. I liked the sound of Roosevelt,” he explains. “Adopting an artist’s name seems pretty alien in the beginning. Then, after a couple of years I was bound to it.” RACHEL RACZKA AND LINDA LABAN

How Gen Z learns For the first time, all the students heading back to school are part of Gen Z. SARA FEINSTEIN @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2012, is the first generation to grow up with the internet and social media at their fingertips. But how does technology and access to information affect their ability to learn and communicate? We spoke to Gen Z expert David Stillman to find out the learning habits of the most plugged-in generation. How has technology affected Generation Z’s work habits? Too often what we do is judge how they get their work done. Sure, they might study a little bit, jump on social media and then just back to studying. At the end of the day we need to look at performance. If these kids are performing well, I’m not sure that’s such a bad thing. What you find on social media is that they might look to their friends and close colleagues as experts — and that’s a problem. This access to information — being able to

&

collaborate with a network beyond those sitting next to them at the desk and the fact that they’re getting information in real time — is all great, provided that there are teachers and parents helping them sift through, prioritize and validate that information.

jobs education

So supervisors are really that crucial for this generation? The mistake that [the generation] keeps making is that they have all access to all of this information, so they don’t need [supervisors]. It’s really changed the role of a teacher. It used to be the teacher was in front of the room, he and she had all of the information and then disseminated that information out. The modern approach is now called “guide on the side.” That means they’ve got their technology and tools, and then teachers and parents sit on the side helping them navigate through their information.

Does the fact that they can find information so quickly take away from its value? They expect information instantaneously because they’ve always been able to get it. What concerns me is that they do a search, and sometimes just click on the No. 1 thing that shows up on Google. They need parents to help them sift through. Maybe the answer is four lines down or on page two, which they never go to. It opens up the door for the need to really be mentored. How can we encourage Gen Z to dig deeper? It comes down to mentoring them on the validity of information.

HOW TO GET AHEAD Getting the information the quickest doesn’t mean it’s the best. As they enter college, everyone’s going to want their best work. Speaking of entering the workforce, do you think workplace policies for future Gen Z employees will include more technologically advanced offices? We have to look historically at what happened. When Generation X showed up to the work-

place, they were pushing for access to the internet, and workplaces were thinking, “I don’t want people online.” Well, people couldn’t get work done without the internet. Same thing with millennials: they showed up and they were pushing for access to Facebook. Workplaces again were not sure if they wanted to be doing that. Now, most workplaces have a fulltime position in charge of social media. With

any new generation, they’re going to bring technology, people are going to resist it and then we’ll figure out a way for it to find its way into the workplace. [Technology expert] Don Tapscott has one of my favorite quotes. He said, “For the first time in history, children are an authority on something that’s really important.” Technology, social media — the ones that are going to lead the way is Generation Z.

Reverse mentoring cracks the old workplace code Senior employees are tapping into millennials’ knowledge of tech and trends with this new strategy. ALIZAH SALARIO @Alirosa

alizah.salario@metro.us

The word “mentoring” tends to conjure an image of a wizened top executive bestowing knowledge upon an impressionable young employee. But that’s so last century. Reverse mentoring, in which younger employees mentor older executives — generally about technology, social media and trends — is gaining traction in many fields. “Why are we still in this mind-set that you have to be mentored by someone with more experience?” says Jay Olshonsky, president of NAI Global, a network of commercial real estate firms where reverse mentoring

Experience and age doesn’t necessarily equal ability. ISTOCK

is common practice. The most effective reverse mentoring programs mix formal and informal elements, and pair people in rapidinnovation divisions like in tech with leaders or senior employees who wield more influence, explains Olshonsky. “Don’t assume just because I’ve got the 30plus years that I’ve got

the best thoughts. That’s a really bad assumption,” he adds. Reverse mentoring isn’t necessarily about age or years of experience, either. For instance, reverse mentoring can take place between someone who has advanced technical skills and someone who has no technical skills, Olshonsky says.

A shift in workplace culture Greater acceptance of reverse mentoring reflects a shift in traditional workplace hierarchies. The proverbial ladder is being replaced with a horizontal career structure — and an understanding that learning and growth happen at all stages of one’s career.

For instance, when Olshonsky started out in the real estate business, memorizing the physical attributes of different properties was par for the course. Today, everything he needs to know about a given property is a few clicks and swipes away — a shift that younger digital natives might take to more naturally. Olshonsky says that being open and curious about new technology and trends — and accepting that younger, less experienced employees might be more adept at certain aspects of the job — is key to making reverse mentoring work. “Essentially, the younger or less experienced but better technical person can answer a question in 10 seconds that would’ve taken the older person a couple days to get the same information,” he says. A lot of traditional workplaces are also using their junior staff to help educate more experienced

members on trends and social-media usage, says Kristen Morgan, director JRT Realty Group. In real estate, reverse mentoring can help more-seasoned employees “recognize cooler, more artisanal boutique brands over big box retailers for certain locations, especially in emerging markets,” and “recognize what the younger demographic of employees or residents want in certain neighborhoods, ” she says. Whether it’s in real estate, marketing or media, taking time to create an environment where reverse mentoring is valued is key to its success, says Olshonsky. “You’re not just sugarcoating this, and saying, ‘This is your job and this is the way we do it, and if you don’t like it, go find another job.’ You’re kind of empowering them to reach beyond what they’re currently doing. It’s a huge positive reinforcement,” he says.

How to start your own dream business PopSugar’s Lisa Sugar shares her secrets to success. LAKSHMI GANDHI @LakshmiGandhi

lakshmi.gandhi@metro.us

A decade ago, Lisa Sugar looked as if she was settling into a long career in advertising. She then surprised everyone by doing a complete 180 when she realized her interests lay elsewhere. “The most important thing I did was that I started small,” Sugar says of her then blog. “I really wanted to get into the habit of writing every day, so I started a blog, but I still had money coming in from my other job.” After six months of writing at night and working during the day, Sugar left her day job to devote herself to her site, which we now know as the celebrity and lifestyle site PopSugar. She reveals the secrets to her success in her new book “Power Your Happy: Work Hard, Play Nice, and Build Your Dream Life.” We asked Sugar for her advice for anyone who wants to pursue their dream careers.

Don’t do anythingg drastic Changing careers — particularly if you are about to work for yourself after having a staff position — is a

big step. “I always tell people to slowly start integrating their new job into their lives and not to do anything irresponsible,” says Sugar. Can you continue working at your new position for a bit while you build your clientele? Having a steady income during this time makes a big difference.

Surround yourself with hard-working people Unlike many startups, many of PopSugar’s senior employees have been with the company since the beginning. Sugar says a good team is essential to a startup’s success. “When someone comes in for an interview, I really want to see how passionate you are,” Sugar says. “I want to know what interests you.” Sugar also stresses that interviewees should be able to explain how they would tackle the job. “If If

you are applying to be a fitness editor, I want to know what you love about fitness. What workout are you excited about? What recipes are you going to try out next?”

Promote from within Part of the reason so many PopSugar employees have stayed with the company so long is because their job responsibilities have grown with them over the years. “We tell people who have been with us and want to grow, ‘Write the job description for the job you want,’” Sugar explains. “People totally switched part of their jobs as the years went by. For example, someone was a fashion editor and then came back from maternity leave and said they wanted to be the moms editor because they had a passion for that now.”

Ke up on Keep technology tec “I a always tell people that think that you have to I th keep your focus on your kee brand, and that you bra have to be adaptable,” hav says Sugar. “There was say no social media when we started PopSugar, but it definitely made us bu think differently about thi the company.” It’s th important to note that im what works for you w now is unlikely to still no work a decade in. w

It’s official: The Eagles are contenders. The transformation of Philadelphia’s football team from rebuilding for the future to a 3-0 mark heading into the bye week seems to have even caught the biggest fans by surprise — with Sunday’s 34-3 victory over in-state rivals the Steelers the proverbial icing on the cake as the squad is sure to soar in NFL power rankings across the country. Jim Schwartz’s disciplined and calculated defense was magnificent, paired with spectacular play-calling by Doug Pederson and execution well beyond Carson Wentz’ years. You’d think the Eagles were Super Bowl contenders if you saw them play the Steelers in Week 3, and perhaps they are. With 13 days until Philly plays another football game, get ready for pundits and commentators alike to start booking flights to Houston (and tickets to Canton on layaway to see Wentz’s Hall of Fame induction). Here are three things we saw in a feast for Philly fans Sunday afternoon:

The defense also missed very few tackles, keeping their opponent in front of them as much as possible.

ing lead to 34-3. In all, the NFC East’s leader got to Roethlisberger four times in the game, though many more hurries were created by a simple four-man rush from the Eagles’ talented defensive line. Philly finished Week 3 as one of two teams who haven’t allowed a passing touchdown.They added an interception late in the fourth, a Rodney McLeod pick deep in the end zone.

does 2Defense enough Coming into Sunday,

DeAngelo Williams led the NFL in rushing and Roethlisberger led the NFL in touchdowns. Williams ran for 21 yards, and Big Ben was kept out of the end zone all day. The Eagles got a stop to start the afternoon, giving up a few big plays but settling down in the red zone to force Pittsburgh to attempt a chip shot field goal. Thanks to the long, extended left arm of Bennie Logan the blocked kick kept things scoreless early. In the subsequent defensive drive the Eagles were able to both

get adequate pressure with their front four while also covering the Steelers receivers pretty well (some drops helped), leading to a punt. Later in the second, the Eagles stepped it up after allowing a 41-yard deep ball to Sammie Coates by locking things down in the red zone once again. After Fletcher Cox sacked Ben Roethlisberger on third down, the Steelers settled for a field goal and trailed, 10-3. In the third, the Eagles nearly picked Roethlisberger off on three consecutive plays, the last a fourth-down stop

Big plays on short passes with long runs after by Brent Celek and Darren Sproles propelled Philly to its own field goal attempt, a made 29-yarder by Caleb Sturgis. The opportunistic Eagles offense continued into the second quarter as the second drive saw a big third down completion to Dorial Green-Beckham following a holding penalty that brought back a screen. Wentz (23-for-31, 302 yards and 2 TDs) found Jordan Matthews a few plays later on a quick 12yard slant into the end zone to put the Eagles up, 10-0, and cap off an impressive 12-play, 82yard drive. Sproles kicked off the second half with an insane 73-yard touchdown catch — a scamper really — collecting a dump-off, running pass from Carson Wentz and darting around defenders en route to a score to put the Eagles up 20-3. Later in the third Philly extended its lead to 27-3, thanks to a seven play, 67-yard drive and 1-yard touchdown run by Wendell Smallwood (his first career score). Smallwood broke through and led all rushers with 79 yards. The Eagles’ offense has not turned the ball over yet this season and the team leads the NFC in points allowed and point differential.

Giants fall, Eagles in first in NFC East A look around the NFL in Week 3. LUKE MILLER @LukeFM7

sports@metro.us

Week 3 of the NFL season was a wild one as the Redskins and Bills scored upsets. A look around the league. Washington 29, New York Giants 27 Dustin Hopkins went five-for-five on field goals and Desean Jackson and Jamison Crowder caught long touchdowns for Washington (1-2) in a game that saw five lead changes in the second half. Turnovers plagued a Giants (2-1) offense for the second straight week despite Eli Manning (25/38, 350, TD, 2 INT) and co. having little trouble moving the football. Buffalo 33, Arizona 18 Playing early on the East coast, the Cardinals (1-2) were slow to wake up, as LeSean McCoy ran for two touchdowns to help the Bills (1-2) build a 17-0 lead. Tyrod Taylor

Allen Robinson got his season back on track with two touchdown catches but it wasn’t enough to keep the Jaguars (0-3) from falling to the Ravens (3-0) at home. Justin Tucker put the Ravens ahead for good with a game-winning 54-yard field goal, his fourth kick of the day. Joe Flacco (29/40, 214, 2 INT) couldn’t find the end zone through the air but notched the Ravens’ only touchdown on a seven yard scramble.

(14/25, 119, INT) added a 20-yard touchdown while the Bills defense feasted on Carson Palmer (26/50, 261, 4 INT), creating five turnovers. Miami 30, Cleveland 24 (OT) The Dolphins (1-2) got their first win of the season at home, but Terrelle Pryor made them work for it. Pryor had 35 yards passing, 21 yards and a touchdown rushing, and 144 yards receiving for the Browns (0-3.) The Browns had a chance to win at the end of regulation after a Ryan Tannehill (25/39, 319, 3 TD, 2 INT) fumble, but Cody Parkey’s sixth field goal attempt of the day was wide left. Minnesota 22, Carolina 10 The Vikings (3-0) broke the Panthers’ (1-2) 14game home win streak by sacking Cam Newton (21/35, 252, 3 INT) eight times (once for a safety) and intercepting him thrice. While Newton appeared to injure his ankle in the first half, he missed only one snap. The Panthers built a 10-0 lead, but a 54-yard

Washington’s Quinton Dunbar intercepts Eli Manning in the third quarter Sunday. GETTY IMAGES

punt return touchdown by Marcus Sherels and a Kyle Rudolph touchdown were enough to give the Vikings the victory on a day where they gained just 211 yards on offense. Denver 29, Cincinnati 17 Trevor Siemian (23/35, 312, 4 TD) lit up the Bengals (1-2) defense as Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas both hit the 100 yard receiving mark and caught three touchdowns

between them. A tight game was broken open at the end by the Broncos’ (3-0) passing game. While the Broncos had heavily relied on their run game to this point this season, it was the Bengals’ Jeremy Hill (97 yards, two touchdowns) who dominated the ground in this contest.

(2-1) built a 31-3 lead, but Marvin Jones Jr’s 73-yard touchdown catch before the half was a sign that the Lions (1-2) still had fight left in them. Jones finished the game with six catches for 205 yards and his second touchdown got the Lions within a score. The Packers were able to run out the clock and assuage some fears after last weeks loss to the Vikings. Baltimore 19, Jacksonville 17

Oakland 17, Tennessee 10 A week ago, Andre Johnson caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota (17/33, 214, 2 INT) and it seemed he had caught the gametying touchdown late in the fourth quarter this week. In this one, however, Johnson was called for pass interference and the Raiders (2-1) held on to beat the Titans (1-2.) After a brutal beginning to the game, the Raiders defense sacked Mariota three times and forced him into three turnovers.

The Owls are back to the .500 mark with the daunting conference schedule about to begin. JON MARKS @MetroPhilly

sports@metro.us

After an up-and-down preseason, the defending Eastern champions of the American Athletic Conference say they’re finally ready to start defending their crown. But even after crushing Charlotte, 48-20, Saturday at the Linc, Temple knows it won’t be easy. “When you win, I think everyone looks at you differently,” said Jahad Thomas, who ran for 68 yards and a touchdown, caught three passes for 49 yards and is slowly rounding into form after missing the first two games with a hand injury. “We have a target on our back because we won our side of the conference last year. Everyone at the end of the year is trying to hold that trophy up. We don’t really worry about that. We just go out there and do what we need to do.” They certainly did against the overmatched 49ers, overcoming a ear-

ly 7-3 deficit by breaking the game open with 28 second-quarter points, including Philip Walker touchdown passes of 51 and 40 yards to Adonis Jennings and Brodrick Yancy respectively. That evens the Owls’ record at 2-2, with wins over Stony Brook and Charlotte, losses to Army and Penn State. Not good enough, says Walker. “I think the record should be different ,but there are learning curves to this game,” said Walker, who threw for 268 yards while Temple amassed 507 yards on offense. “We just have to keep building as a team. Now we have a whole new season to play. We are 0-0, and now it’s conference play. I’m looking forward to it.” It starts with 2-2 SMU coming to town Saturday, before the Owls head on the road to Memphis and Central Florida. But to have a chance at winning the East again — and perhaps earning a shot for a rematch with defending AAC champ Houston, the heavy Western favorite — Temple needs more consistency than it’s shown throughout the preseason. “We’re going to look at the whole preseason,”

said defensive lineman Praise Martin-Oguike, who returned a fumble 20 yards to set the stage for Thomas’ 13-yard touchdown to make it 17-7. “We haven’t played to our full potential yet. I feel we’re going to look at the mistakes we made and correct them.” Of greatest concerns are the 725 yards rushing they’ve allowed, with Penn State’s Saquon Barkley burning them for a late 55-yard score last week, then Charlotte’s Kalif Phillips taking it 66 to the house Saturday, along with a defense that has only five sacks. Last year the Owls had 32. “My gut would be we’re still not stout enough inside versus the run and the pass rush was not where it needed to be,” Head coach Matt Rhule agreed, trying to assess where his team is after four games. “It looks like we’re getting some penetration, we’re just not getting home as much as we’d like to. And then we’re still taking too many silly penalties.” He also didn’t like the way the 1-3 49ers were able to keep them off balance with their nohuddle offense, racking up 429 yards. SMU also runs the no-huddle.
