BARRON’S: SNAP’S STOCK SCHWARZENEGGER FIRED, TENN. CHICKEN FLOCK DIDN’T QUIT, TRUMP SAYS HIT BY AVIAN INFLUENZA PRICE HARD TO JUSTIFY

President Donald Trump disputed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s announcement about quitting as host of the reality show “The Celebrity Apprentice,” saying that Schwarzenegger was leaving involuntarily after drawing few viewers. Schwarzenegger had announced on Friday that he would not return for a second season of the NBC show.

He blamed Trump, an executive producer and former host of the

show, for low ratings, describing the president’s involvement as “baggage.”

Trump sees it differently. “Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad [pathetic] ratings, not by me,” Trump wrote in a message on his personal Twitter account.

A strain of bird flu has been detected in a commercial chicken breeder flock in Tennessee’s Lincoln County and the 73,500 birds will be culled to prevent the virus from entering the food system, U.S. and state agriculture officials said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said this represented the first confirmed case of highly pathogenic H7 avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial

poultry in the United States this year. The facility has been placed under quarantine, along with approximately 30 other poultry farms within a 6.2-mile radius of the site, the Tennessee state government said. Other flocks in the quarantined area are being tested for the virus, it added.

In 2014 and 2015, the United States killed nearly 50 million birds, mostly egg-laying hens, during a bout of HPAI. REUTERS

The United States Soccer Federation has instituted a policy that requires players on a national team to “stand respectfully” during national anthems, The New York Times and other media reported. The policy was reportedly passed by the federation’s board of directors on Feb. 9 but came to light Saturday. The policy, posted on Twitter by former men’s national team player Stuart Holden,

reads: “All persons representing a Federation national team shall stand respectfully during the playing of the national anthems at any event in which the Federation is represented.” U.S. Soccer director of communications Neil Buethe confirmed the policy in an email to The New York Times.

The policy comes after U.S. national player Megan Rapinoe knelt during the anthem on two occasions last year. REUTERS

TRUMP’S AMERICA

Is Donald mad — or mad?

Mad as in angry, or mad as in deeply disconnected from the here and now? Not halfway through his first 100 days, there is screaming evidence for both diagnoses.

No doubt the new president is angry. On Friday, just before flying to Mar-a-Lago, a fuming Trump summoned his top aides to the Oval Office. The group included chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus, daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner, communications director Mike Dubke and press secretary Sean Spicer.

The prez was positively seething that loyal Attorney General Jeff Sessions will no longer head the Justice Department’s investigation into Russia’s attack on the 2016 election. That made Sessions the second high-ranking Trumpster to get publicly slapped for being too cozy with the dour Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak — and then lying about it.

The week had gotten off to such a cheerful start, Trump grumbled to the

assembled aides. The reviews for Tuesday’s speech to Congress had been so upbeat — and now this!?

But in the hot glare of Palm Beach, angrymad soon gave way to the fact-free, certifiable, seeing-things-that-don’texist kind of mad. Without a crumb of actual evidence, the tweet-happy commander-in-chief ac-

cused “Bad [or sick] guy” Barack Obama of tapping the Trump Tower telephones. “Nixon/Watergate,” typed the so-called leader of free world. “McCarthyism!” Apparently, he’d been listening to right-wing talk radio or reading Breitbart News again.

Obama’s people declared the claim “simply false.” And all day yesterday, sane-ish political people on both sides of the aisle were trying to

decide: Which was it?

Should they be baffled, frightened or stunned?

“The president’s in trouble,” snorted New York’s Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader of the Senate. Republican Sen. Ben Sasse charged that Trump had just unleashed a “civilizationwarping crisis of public trust.” A nice turn of phrase! Republican Marco Rubio could only shake his head and roll his eyes.

“I’ve never heard that

allegation made before by anybody,” the Senate intelligence committee member said.

But hand it to Republican Mike Rogers, former chairman of the

House intel committee, for delivering the quote of the day: “He just put another quarter in the conspiracy parking meter,” Rogers said of our mad president.

White House asks Congress to probe Trump’s accusation of Obama wiretap The White House asked Congress on Sunday to examine whether the Obama administration abused its investigative authority during the 2016 campaign, as part of an ongoing congressional probe into Russia’s influence on the election.

However, FBI Director James Comey asked the Justice Department to reject President Donald Trump’s wiretapping claim as false.

Trump alleged, without supporting evidence, that then-President Obama ordered a wiretap of the phones at his campaign headquarters in Trump Tower in New York.

Reports of fake ICE agents extorting immigrants put communities on edge Local law enforcement authorities nationwide are advising immigrants to be aware of scammers preying on their uncertainty.

KRISTIN TOUSSAINT @kristindakota

kristin.toussaint@metro.us

Rumors began flying last month around Lynn, Massachusetts, that federal immigration officers were conducting large-scale raids to apprehend undocumented immigrants.

It was late February, after a federal judge had suspended President Donald Trump’s travel ban that prohibited immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. In addition to the travel ban, the administration launched

an aggressive new action to enforce existing immigration laws.

Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants was putting people on edge.

Some residents of Lynn, a working-class, racially diverse city just outside Boston, described being confronted by officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What was troubling, however, was that these ICE agents had threatened to arrest immigrants unless cash payments were handed over.

Talk around the town of more than 90,000 grew so intense that local police took to Facebook, writing, “There have been NO ICE raids in this city,” and adding that if someone posing as a federal agent demands money, it was “a scam.”

The continually chang-

ing immigration rules have created an uncertainty nationwide on the part of immigrants, with attorneys and advocacy organizations trying to figure out what to do next, and what advice to provide.

Adding to that anxiety are recurring reports of people fraudulently posing as federal immigration agents, hoping to extort money from desperate families trying to avoid deportation.

Incidents have most recently been reported in New York City and Massachusetts.

After multiple incidents of that kind of fraud in New York, elected officials, including state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, have warned immigrants to be aware of scammers.

Authorities in Philadelphia are also on alert.

“Unfortunately, it’s a common scam that we’ve

seen over the years,” said Adrian Smith, a public affairs officer for the ICE field office there.

And it appears to still be happening.

On Friday, unconfirmed reports spread online of recent ICE raids in Framingham, Massachusetts, about 30 miles west of Boston. In an interview, Framingham Police Lt. Stephen Cronin said he was not aware of any such incidents.

Immigration officials

did not respond to a question about whether any official activity had taken place in the town.

Cronin noted that typically, federal law enforcement agencies would reach out to local police ahead of any enforcement action. They are not required to do so, however.

Whether or not federal officials give advance notice, local police can address the issue of a possible scam agent approaching residents, the lieutenant

said.

“We can send an officer over there to confirm an agent’s identification, and we can call the ICE field office and ask them, ‘Do you have an operation going on?’” he said. “So we always recommend, if in doubt, call local law enforcement and if we don’t already know [what’s going on], we have the resources to find out.”

Petition urges city to open controversial heroin clinic A petition to Mayor Jim Kenney urges the questionable solution.

ALEXIS SACHDEV @lexsachdev

alexis.sachdev@metro.us

Supervised injection sites — governmentfunded sites where heroin users can shoot up in a safe, clean environment — are controversial solutions to drug epidemics, but might be the answer to Philadelphia’s heroin crisis.

That’s the position of an online petition, which urges Mayor Jim Kenney and the city’s Opioid Task Force to open such a facility in Philadelphia, where 900 people died of opiate overdose alone in 2016.

“We need safe, super-

vised injection clinics to get needles off our streets, to alleviate the stress on law enforcement and hospitals and, most importantly, to save lives,” the petition, launched two weeks ago on Change.org, says.

Created by Dan Martino, a member of the Philadelphia Opioid Prevention Initiative, the petition seeks to build a location where users can self-inject in a medically supervised, sterile environment.

While users would have access to clean needles in stress-free environments, supervised injection clinics would also connect drug users to rehabilitation resources and counseling.

These facilities have been proven to increase public safety, as well as reduce risk behav-

iors that contribute to the spread of HIV and hepatitis C, like syringe sharing and unprotected sex, according to the Drug Policy Alliance.

Safe injection facilities (SIFs) can also result in cost savings for a city by reducing disease, overdose deaths and emergency medical services.

There are approximately 100 SIFs in at least 66 cities around the world, but none in the United States.

Earlier this year, Seattle approved plans for two such facilities, which would also be stocked with naloxone, an anti-overdose drug.

Critics of SIFs, however, say they encourage and enable drug use, despite not actually supplying any drugs. Pri-

marily, they don’t want to see government dollars spent on facilitating drug use, which could send a mixed message to young people.

In 2003, Insite, the first SIF in North America, opened in Vancouver. Since its opening, Insite has seen more than 40,000 clinical

visits, and nearly 5,000 overdoses — and no deaths.

Its operational budget for the most recent fiscal year was just shy of $3 million.

While Philadelphia has no plans to create such a facility, Kenney has sent a clear message that combating heroin

abuse is a priority of his administration.

In his proposed budget unveiled Thursday, the mayor earmarked $1.9 million for fighting opioid addiction, which would include distributing naloxone and increasing public awareness about the problem.

New budget priorities threaten housing aid programs HUD provides about five million Americans with some form of housing assistance, either through vouchers to renters, subsidies to landlords or public housing projects, which comprises about 85 percent of its budget.

When Paul Ryan, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, talks of social mobility, about helping struggling Americans move out of impoverished areas to give them greater opportunity, Shiva Daniels is the kind of person he has in mind.

A federal housing voucher allowed Daniels to escape her crimeplagued neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, and move her four children to the suburb of Garland.

That move helped Daniels find a good job, working for a property management company.

Today, she cherishes the small, two-bedroom house she rents, with a yard where her children can safely play, away from drugs and gang violence in Dallas.

But if Daniels, 31, were to lose the $1,082 monthly stipend she receives, she has no doubt what would happen. “I would have to move back,” she said. “I wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

Pulling Americans out of poverty is a subject

close to Ryan’s heart. And President Donald Trump has frequently talked about aiding the inner cities.

But the housing assistance provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, could fall victim to fiscal policies under consideration by the White House and Congress, which include a massive tax cut and increased military spending, according to a dozen congressional aides who spoke to Reuters.

While the White House has not been specific about its plans for HUD — the budget process remains in flux — it has called for a $54 billion cut in non-military discretionary domestic programs in the next fiscal year, which likely will dramatically impact safety-net programs that are not entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security, budget experts said.

Altogether, housing advocates paint a bleak picture of the landscape for low-income housing under the Trump administration. They warn that deep cuts to housing funds would force some people out of their homes and hollow out grant programs meant to revitalize urban neighborhoods.

There is also a ripple effect, they warn: Rental prices would likely rise alongside declines in affordable housing projects and vouchers available to renters. That would make it tougher for renters to save enough to eventually buy homes. REUTERS

“It’s a bad cycle,” said Carol Galante. ... It puts pressure on the rental market. The rents are higher and higher so people can save less and less.”

Afghan family with US visas detained on arrival in LA U.S. agents detained an Afghan family of five with valid entry visas at Los Angeles International Airport and have been holding them for several days in California, according to legal papers filed in federal court in California by human rights lawyers.

The father, mother and three small children were granted Special Immigrant Visas because family members risked their lives to defend the U.S. government overseas, said the filing from lawyers with the International Refugee Assistance Project, a legal aid group for refugees and displaced persons.

“Yet despite this record of service on behalf of our country, CBP has detained this brave family and denied them access to counsel,” said the petition, filed on Saturday with the U.S. District Court Central District of California, referring to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBP declined to com-

ment on the matter.

Immigrant advocates are increasingly concerned about tougher scrutiny of visitors, even those with the proper documentation and visas, as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration on national security grounds.

“The betrayal of this family by the U.S. government shocks the conscience,” the petition said, adding the father, who was not named, was employed by the U.S. government in Afghanistan. The wife and children, aged 7 years, 6 years, and 8 months,

were also not named.

The lawsuit did not state the nature of his employment but the visas are often granted after careful vetting of people who serve in jobs such as translators for the U.S. military.

“It is extremely unusual if not entirely unique” for someone with this type of visa to be detained upon arrival. The visas require extreme vetting to get,” said Talia Inlender, a lawyer with Public Counsel who is part of the family’s defense team.

The family arrived in the United States on Thursday and was almost immediately taken into custody by CBP agents at the Los Angeles airport, the filing said.

The mother was being detained in downtown Los Angeles with her children, while the father was in a maximum-security detention facility in Orange County, California, Inlender told Reuters. REUTERS

12 NEWS ALLEGATIONS Source: Marine Corps looking into nude photo scandal The U.S. Marine Corps is looking into the suspected distribution of nude photographs of female members of the service among military personnel and veterans via a social media network that promotes sexual violence, the Marine Corps Times said on Sunday.

A Marine Corps spokesman told the independent newspaper specializing on the Corps that military officials are

uncertain how many military personnel could be involved.

Officials from the Marine Corps Naval Criminal Investigative Service were not immediately available for comment.

The paper published an internal Marine Corps communications document with talking points about the issue, describing the social media network as a closed Facebook group with about 30,000 members. The network solicited nude photos of female service members,

The site talked of misogynist behavior, the document said, and the photos were on a secure drive in cloud storage, which has been removed.

The document advised a response along the lines of: “The Marine Corps is deeply concerned about allegations regarding the derogatory online comments and sharing of salacious photographs in a closed

website. This behavior destroys morale, erodes trust, and degrades the individual.”

Representative Adam Smith, a Democrat from Washington State, and ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, called for a complete investigation and for proper care of the victims.

“This behavior by Marines and former Marines is degrading, dangerous, and completely unacceptable,” the congressman said in a statement. REUTERS

If your child is being treated for ADHD, but has trouble controlling anger...

A clinical study is now enrolling.

Children with ADHD sometimes show symptoms of additional disorders, including Impulsive Aggression (IA). The child’s behavior is out of control with anger and aggression that occurs rapidly and without reason. Examples of IA include arguing, cursing, yelling, threatening, throwing things, hair pulling, and hitting.

This clinical research study will evaluate a study medication for IA. Your child may qualify for the study if he or she: UÊÊ ÃÊÈÊÌ Ê£ÓÊÞi>ÀÃÊ `ÊUÊ >ÃÊLii Ê` >} Ãi`Ê with ADHD UÊ ÃÊLi }ÊÌÀi>Ìi`ÊÜ Ì Ê i` V>Ì Êv ÀÊ

A police investigation Sunday into the displacement of 42 tombstones at a primarily Jewish cemetery in Brooklyn, earlier suspected to be an act of anti-Semitic vandalism, found the cause to be unintentional, police said.

The NYPD hate crime task force inspected the grounds at the Washington Cemetery near Midwood, after an initial count of five gravestones were discovered knocked down late Saturday night.

It was later reported that as many as 42 gravestones were found toppled.

High winds, eroded soil and neglect were cited as the probable causes.

“It definitely was not vandalism,” Marisa Tarantino, general manager of the Washington Cemetery insisted to the Daily News.

“The older sections, as the stones wear, they do fall over or are unstable,” she continued. “What we do is we lay them across the grave to keep them memorialized rather than taking [them] away.”

The puzzling disturbance coincides with a wave of anti-Semitic vandalism targeting burial sights.

In the past two weeks, vandalism at Jewish cemeteries was reported in Rochester, where more than a dozen headstones were knocked down, in Philadelphia, where 100 were vandalized and St. Louis, Missouri, where about 170 headstones were vandalized.

Several New York officials called for a further in-

vestigation of the downed gravestones in Brooklyn, pointing out what they believe are telltale signs that some of the stones were purposely tipped over and that the cemetery fence had been compromised.

Standing outside of the cemetery Sunday, state Assemblyman Dov Hovkind, City Councilman Dan Greenfield and City Comptroller Scott Stringer raised questions about the damage.

“Some of the tombstones are obviously 100 years old,” Greenfield said.

“Others are newer tombstones … you don’t have to be a forensic scientist to see that they were very clearly knocked down.”

Stringer said that while he hopes that it was not an act of anti-Semitism, such reports must be properly considered in light of the rise in hate crimes.

“Anti-Semitism is on the rise in this country and in New York City,” he said. “When we hear tombstones falling, it is our obligation to come and find out what’s going on.”

Since the beginning of 2017, there have been approximately 122 bomb threats made to Jewish organizations across three dozen states, along with many reports of anti-Semitic graffiti, verbal abuse and assaults in New York and across the country.

Despite coincidental timing, New York police are no longer investigating the incident as a crime. METRO

With the Democrats currently like aging housecats (loss of hiss, no teeth — at least in political terms) all eyes are turning to the growing rift within the Republican party. That’s what leads off my three things to watch this week.

1. REPEAL AND …

OH, WAIT A MINUTE Despite months (heck, years) of hollering about scrapping Obamacare, the GOPers are in a bind.

Sharp differences have emerged between those who want the whole thing trashed fast, and those who feel it will be a risky move unless the replacement plan is already in place. And, btw, what is the plan? This is the biggest fight in D.C. right now and the most important, because controlling Congress and the White House is valuable only if your party stays united, and the Repubs are wildly splintered on this issue.

This is the week they’d better get on the same page or I predict an avalanche

istration sharing tea and biscuits with the Russians, it’s a problem. There is no evidence yet anyone broke a law, but with investigations underway this is a genuine threat to the credibility of the Trump team.

So watch for lots of strong denials, deflections and efforts to point out any Dems who also might have links — no matter how tenuous — to Moscow.

TOM FOREMAN Opinion

of complaints from across the political spectrum.

2. RUSSIAN TO JUDGMENT Way back in 2015 (before politics went entirely loopy), Donald Trump made an offhand comment about how he could get along with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

No one thought much of it, but now amid a torrent of headlines about members of his admin-

3. CALL IN THE STUNT MAN! This past week everyone in D.C. seemed to be staging stunts to make a point.

Sen. Rand Paul launched a “hunt” for the Obamacare replacement bill, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi pitched in with a tweeted picture of some tracking dogs, and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer posting video of himself talking to a statue of Lincoln. Don’t ask. They all seem to think it is working so watch for more this week unless sanity returns and they realize they are not YouTube stars. Which is unlikely.

16 GOSSIP

Are Amber Heard and Elon Musk a thing now?

It sounds like Amber Heard has a new older man in her life.

According to Us Weekly, the actress who almost made the first “Magic Mike” movie unbearable is maybe dating Elon Musk.

The two reportedly attended a VIP screening of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth Sequel: Truth to Power,” together. If you can think of anything more romantic than watching a film about the disastrous effects of global warming and how we’re all gonna die, please let me know.

A source tells Us Weekly that the two hang out and “casually

Depp, a humanoid chiefly composed of pinstripes, questionable facial hair, and slept-in eyeliner.

Can’t wait to see what other romantic dates these two cook up. see each other whenever time permits.” And that is basically the definition of friends with benefits, so that’s that.

Musk, 45, and Heard, 30, are both very recently divorced. Musk — a billionaire entrepreneur — split from wife Talulah Riley last year.

Heard, of course, was embroiled in a horrible divorce battle with her ex-husband Johnny

Nicki and Azealia practically naked at PFW Nicki Minaj is at Paris Fashion Week. So is Azealia Banks. And they are both just letting it all hang out.

And by “it,” I mean their left breast, and entire ass, respectively.

At least Nicki is giving Lil’ Kim a solid tribute. You know, the classic single boob covered by a delicately placed pasty. She’s giving me empowered, futuristic sex slave and it’s hideous.

But Azealia’s look is even worse. Her denim

Justin Timberlake throws wifey birthday bash

shorts are so beyond deconstructed that in the back, her entire behind is exposed — We are this close to seeing this woman’s ovaries.

Both of the rappers are very busy outside of PFW. Minaj, 34, is mostly in a feud with Remy Ma right now.

Banks, 25, practices witchcraft and spends most of her time trolling people more famous than her on social media platforms, until she gets kicked off of them.

Justin Timberlake threw his wife Jessica Biel an epic birthday party. And since neither of them are quite sure that you’re paying them enough attention, they posted about it numerously on Instagram.

The couple posed in matching shirts that read “Make America Skate Again,” because the best

the word RACHAEL CLEMMONS rachael.clemmons@metro.us

INSTAGRAM/@JUSTINTIMBERLAKE

way to show people you really love someone is to get shirts created that make light of the precarious political situation happening in your country. So clever!

Timberlake, 36, also shared a video of himself skating in slow-motion, writing “When you throw a roller skating Bday party for your wife but you can’t figure out

how to wear your hat...”

If you can’t make your wife’s birthday about yourself, why are you even married, you know?

Biel, 35, wrote on her Instagram to thank her husband for the birthday of her dreams. “I love you to the moon and back.

And then back again.”

So yeah, I mean she’s clearly into Timberlake’s tomfoolery.

Louis Tomlinson gets arrested Louis Tomlinson, formerly of One Direction fame, was reportedly arrested on Friday after attacking a paparazzo at LAX. What is this, the late aughts?

According to TMZ, the 25-year-old was with his girlfriend when the paparazzo got too close for comfort. So naturally, Tomlinson allegedly pulled the photog to the floor by his legs.

You know, because that’s just what ya do.

The photographer then took it upon himself to make a citizen’s arrest

which, again, what year is it exactly?

The singer’s team issued a statement to TMZ, saying that the paparazzi provoked the situation. “It’s not the first time that a paparazzi has created an altercation with a celebrity.” Duh. Although Tomlinson is a celebrity, I really just see him for what he is: just another a wayward youth with ostensibly no job, who has been in jail.

It’s not a great look, is what I’m saying.

Originating in Taiwan nearly two decades ago, the cat cafe has finally found a place in Philadelphia.

Brewerytownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Le Cat Cafe, Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first cat cafe, opened its doors nearly a year ago. It offers comfy seating for patrons and their new feline friends, but it more important, it acts as an adoption platform for Green Street Animal Rescue. This nonprofit aims to rescue stray and homeless cats by finding them good foster homes. It also aims to educate people about appropriately trapping, rescuing and fostering strays.

When asked what made her want to open a cat cafe, owner Kathy Jordan, who is also the founder of Green Street Animal Rescue, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same problem thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been here for longer than you or I: There are too many cats out on the streets that need a home.â&#x20AC;?

What it comes down to is finding a faster way to get them adopted oth-

er than using pet shops like Fairmount Pet Shop or Doggie Style as platforms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They become depressed. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get adopted,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get euthanized.â&#x20AC;?

Part of the predicament rescue groups face is that the city limits 12 cats to a house. Any more than that and it becomes a shelter and has to face a greater onslaught of rules and regulations.

With the exception of the one person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paid to be at the cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front desk, Le Cat Cafe is run by volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do it on top of full-time jobs. Anybody who helps me trap, transport, get to the vets, get back from the vets or foster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all doing it out of their love for cats and the kindness of their hearts. Not because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting paid,â&#x20AC;? says Jordan.

Among Le Cat Cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current residents are gentle giant Buggy, snack-lover Tennessee and tiny calico Priscilla. Many others have gush-worthy online portraits, but swooning at a screen canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare to an in-person visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you take a cat out of a cage, you have no idea what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be like in your living room.

MUSIC

Carltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 stop at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville. This month, she follows it up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earlier Things Live,â&#x20AC;? a collection of six songs from her earlier catalog (including â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Housesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Thousand Milesâ&#x20AC;?), recorded in concert, that same evening.

Carlton and her manager chose to lay down a recording of the night after a successful live run with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liberman,â&#x20AC;? having decided the vibes created should live â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyond the tour.â&#x20AC;? Deer Tick singer-guitarist John McCauley guests on the album, as do the Watson Twins and folk violist Skye Steele. (Carlton and McCauley have been married since 2013; Nicks performed their ceremony.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was cool to put those older tunes together, because obviously my voice has changed so much over the years,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Actually, this is what I sound like now, and these are those songs, the older stuff.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

As for Carltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drift from pop, she recognizes the role working outside a major label played in her evolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libermanâ&#x20AC;? was released on Caroline/Dine Alone Records, an indie label that Tokyo Police

Club and Twin Forks also call home. (Prior, Carlton had been signed to A&M, where she released 2002â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Not Nobodyâ&#x20AC;? and 2004â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harmonium.â&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real change to get over the hurdle of the ma rket ing structure I was in, and the sound I had in the major label machine, but in the end, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not who I am,â&#x20AC;? Carlton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think because of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Liberman,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to up my game even more. I want to put myself in a role Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not uncomfortable in, and push myself. I want to keep evolving.

I have no interest in the past, really.â&#x20AC;?

FILM

conjures up less-enlightened times — an era of grindhouse exploitation cheapies in which women beat the crap out of each other for the enjoyment of a male audience. The smackdowns in “Catfight” don’t feel like they’re only there for dudes.

“There’s a lot of energy here that you don’t get to see women express so physically in films,” Oh says.

The film — written and directed by a man, Onur Tukel, as it were — offers far more than OhHeche beatdowns. In between their three fights, we follow them on their separate lives, which often involve hilariously over-the-top tragedies.

For example, after their first fight, Ve r o n i c a is knocked into a coma.

She awakens two years later to find her

23

The Donald “Catfight” also proved to be a timely film, if somewhat by accident.

The movie opens with a new, unpredictable lunatic assuming the presidency, who leads America into another war in the Middle East.

When it jumps forward again, we find that he’s reinstated the draft and ended universal health care. Hopefully it’s not too prescient.

“We shot this in 2015, and here we are. The things that [Tukel] wrote that were so outrageous or absurd are not so absurd now,” says Oh. “But that’s what we do as artists: We see into the future as much as we can and make stories about them to warn ourselves.”

Why women outperform men in the workplace Being a women at work may actually be your biggest advantage, thanks to these two traits.

SARA FEINSTEIN @SaraBFeinstein

sara.feinstein@metro.us

Have a job opening? You should hire a woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she might perform better.

There are studies to prove it. Research shows that women possess a group of traits that make them better investors, decision makers and overall leaders, explains Sallie Krawcheck, CEO of Ellevest, a digital investment platform that aims to make more women financial players.

While many women fear their gender may be a liability in the job market, the truth is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an asset.

We spoke with Krawcheck about how women can take their careers to the next level by playing with a new set of rules that build on their own natural strengths.

A healthy dose of risk-awareness If the stock-market crash

of 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spurred by excessive risk-taking of the male-dominated Wall Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a strongenough example, there are numerous studies that show that women are inherently more cautious than men, says Krawcheck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why women tend to be better investors than men, and why companies with female chief financial officers are less likely to make valuedestroying purchases, she explains, because they make sure to fully flesh out all positions and discuss the potential downsides before making a final decision. A woman might say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not do that acquisition because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in another country where we have no experience. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s think through that risk, rather than, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? So what can womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk awareness offer to businesses?

More transparency, better decision-making and, overall, fewer mistakes, says Krawcheck.

Ability to see the big picture While men tend to make quicker decisions on average, women make slower but more effective deci-

sions, says Krawcheck.

She uses an analogy of a husband and wife at a restaurant: The man orders upon his first glance at the menu, while the woman studies the page like an aspiring lawyer preparing for the bar exam. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juggling the complexity of her options, weighing pros and cons so she can make the best overall choice.

And while it may be characterized as â&#x20AC;&#x153;slowness,â&#x20AC;? this holistic view is now more valuable than ever, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereas information was scarce historically, information is abundant today, and so taking into account more factors when making decisions and keeping up with complexity are a value in the changing workplace.â&#x20AC;?

Coding is the must-have job skill of the future. ISTOCK

Learn to code free with these online classes From Python and JavaScript basics to creating your own mobile app â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can master it all.

SARA FEINSTEIN @SaraBFeinstein

sara.feinstein@metro.us

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, coding isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for the supernerds anymore. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become the most indemand skill across industries.

But not everyone can afford to pay, let alone make time, for in-person classes.

Here are five you could take free, and on your own schedule:

Introduction to Computer Science Taught by four instructors from Harvard University, this entrylevel course provides learners with a broad and robust understanding of computer science and programming.

Students will be introduced to the topics of abstraction, software engineering, data structures and web development, to name a few, and become familiar with a number of languages including C, Python, SQL, JavaScript, CSS and HTML.

Coding Mobile

Apps for Entrepreneurs

This course will explain how to create fully functional apps for all major mobile platforms and distribute them on the Play Store, Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s App Store and the Windows Store. The material will also cover the basics of coding, which will enable students to create richer apps with more functions, like storing text and data on the phone and connecting to the internet. The best part: No prior coding knowledge is required.

Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python Designed to help students with very little or no computing background, this class will go through the basics of building simple interactive applications using Python. Learners will be introduced to the basic elements of programming (such as expressions, conditionals and functions) and then use these elements to create applications such as a digital stopwatch.

To top it all off, at the end of the course, students will build their own version of the classic arcade game â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pong.â&#x20AC;?

Introduction to HTML and JavaScript

Students will gain experience with both HTML and JavaScript separately, and then combine them to create web applications with a strong structure, reusable style components and custom interactive features.

Throughout the course they will learn basic HTML markup, advanced HTML components and elements, basic CSS style definitions and basic JavaScript programming.

Students will also take part in hands-on labs that will enable them to build basic HTML pages.

How to Code: Systematic Program Design With a focus on simple data, students will learn a systematic programming method so they can program in any language.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also learn how to produce programs with consistent structure that are easy to modify later, and how to make programs more reliable by building tests into the process. At the end of the course, they will design a simple interactive program and complete a final project in the form of an interactive game.

NFL draft will have diamonds in the rough at cornerback The Eagles will have many options to replenish their secondary.

KYLE PHILLIPPI @Kyle_Phillippi sports@metro.us

The Eagles are in luck.

According to NFL Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Mayock, the 2017 draft class is littered with talent in the pool of cornerbacks. As Eagles fans are well aware of, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a position the organization is severely lacking in with Jalen Mills being the only returning starter of the group after the release of Leodis McKelvin and assuming Nolan Carroll heads elsewhere in free agency.

Speaking to members of the media,

Mayock believes that upwards of 18 cornerbacks could be selected within the first three rounds. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even heard rumblings from coaches that believe there are fifth-round corners who could easily go in the second if not for the loaded class.

There are projected to be anywhere from five to eight corners chosen in the first round, including potential first round selections of the Eagles in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sidney Jones and Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teez Tabor.

If the Eagles opt to trust Mayockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instincts regarding this crop, and believing thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting caliber talent in the mid-rounds, who could they target outside of the big names in the first round?

Howard Wilson, Houston A potential third or fourth round pick -- if not higher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wilson is one of the bigger prospects in the group at 6-foot-1, 186 pounds.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of the younger ones having skipped his final two seasons to enter the draft. Perhaps a bit more raw because of that, Wilson does have some major upside which makes him an attractive option for a team looking for size to go against the wide receiver-loaded NFC East.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been mentioned in several trade rumors in the past few days and Philly has consistently been mentioned as a landing spot for the speedy pass catcher.

The Sporting Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alex Marvez even tweeted on Friday that the Eagles are Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;likely landing spot.â&#x20AC;?

The Saints want a high draft pick in exchange for Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; services. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Sunday that the Patriots oďŹ&#x20AC;ered up the No. 32 overall pick in 2017 for Cooks but the Saints turned them down.

most certainly affected his stock. Before that, he had six interceptions in three years and also took a pair of punt returns back. He likes to play physical, which is something the Eagles could use, and his 32 passes defended surpassed Eric Berry for fourth most in school history. He also forced nine turnovers with six

Dario Saric gets to the rim at Orlando. GETTY IMAGES

Saric a key piece to the Sixers’ future Dario Saric deserves to be in the Rookie of the Year conversation.

ANDY JASNER @AndyJasner

sports@metro.us

Rewind back to the 2014 NBA Draft.

When the No. 12 pick came along, the Orlando Magic selected a relatively unknown forward named Dario Saric. On that same night, former 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie traded for Saric in a deal which sent draft pick Elfrid Payton to Orlando.

It was a bit of a risky move because of Saric’s international commitment to his Turkish team Anadolu Efes.

Hinkie was not averse to risk and the move has paid off in a huge way.

After playing two seasons overseas, Saric was eventually named the Most Valuable Player of the 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for his native Croatia. Saric signed with the Sixers in July and

through this bizarre season, he’s on his way to a potential Rookie of the Year award.

Joel Embiid played 31 dazzling games for the Sixers, but another injury setback has the big man out for the season.

With other players like Nerlens Noel and Ersan Ilyasova shipped off before the trade deadline, Saric is getting plenty of playing time.

And he’s thriving.

Saric has scored 20 or more points eight times this season along with five double-doubles in his last 11 games.

The Sixers are careening to another spot in the draft lottery, but Saric is clearly a huge bright spot.

“I think the confidence and the poise is emerging game by game,” Sixers coach Brett Brown said of Saric. “We all should feel very proud that how can it not be the Rookie of the Year goes through Philadelphia? Say it any way you want, I am proud of what he has been doing. I think tonight it validates some

of the layers to making that comment even more true.”

It will be difficult for a player who has competed in 31 of 82 games to win a major award such as Rookie of the Year. Saric has been on the court consistently all season and he continues to produce in every way. He’s definitely deserving.

“I know everybody talks about it,” Saric said. “Joel deserves to be Rookie of the Year, but I don’t know if he has had enough games.

I just try to push myself every game, try to win every game, try to push my teammates and get them to believe. The games without Gerald [Henderson], Joel, and Ben [Simmons], sometimes we need to be ready for every moment.

I don’t like when somebody says, ‘You’re trash without these guys,’ I don’t like when somebody says that. I try to push my teammates, and we have to be ready to win tomorrow, I believe in them, and I lead them in that way.”

metro.us/horoscopes Aries Communicate and get your point across in order to forge a clear path to victory. Partnerships will need adjustments, but once boundaries are set, the sky is the limit.

Libra Personal problems will escalate if you or someone you love is neglectful. Tend to matters affecting your home, family or loved ones to avoid uncertainty.

Taurus You’ll learn more if you step back and watch what others do. Engage in collaborative discussions to get a better sense of what’s expected of you.

Scorpio Investments will pay off. Honing your skills and making residential moves or changes are favored and will improve your financial position and emotional well-being.

Gemini You’ll be disappointed if you rely on someone to help you. Set your goals and work diligently on your own if you want to receive the recognition you deserve.

Sagittarius Avoid anyone trying to bait you into a dispute. Alterations to the way you look or live will bring the highest rewards.

Work alone and avoid interference.

Cancer Express your feelings and use your imagination to come up with new ideas.

Partnerships will depend on both your generosity and your moderation.

Capricorn Experience will help you handle anyone who is offering something suspicious, or using pressure to persuade you to get involved in something questionable.

Leo Look inward and size up your personal and professional situations. Consider your options and prepare to make a move that will add to your financial security.

Aquarius Move forward passionately and with the intent to make progress. Use your connections and your physical drive and courage to find success.

Virgo Before you ask for something, make sure you know exactly what’s expected of you. You don’t want to be beholden to anyone. A partnership looks promising.

Pisces Make positive changes that will help you as well as those around you. Focus on domestic and community improvements.

Make a difference. EUGENIA LAST
