RYAN TAX REFORM BLUEPRINT LOSING STEAM

UNITED WON’T USE POLICE SPICER SAYS HE LET TRUMP TO REMOVE PASSENGERS DOWN WITH COMMENTS

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s tax reform blueprint appears to be losing its status as the likely framework for the first major tax overhaul since 1986, with rival approaches emerging from the White House, Senate and other quarters in Congress. Congressional aides, lobbyists and analysts say the changing focus could delay passage of a tax bill until late 2017 or 2018, potentially foiling Republican efforts to score

a legislative victory for President Donald Trump by August, following last month’s failed bill to repeal and replace Obamacare health insurance. Like the healthcare bill, the House Republican tax blueprint stems from Ryan’s “A Better Way” legislative agenda launched during the 2016 election campaign. REUTERS

United Airlines will no longer use law enforcement officers to remove passengers from overbooked flights after global outrage erupted over a video showing a passenger dragged from one of its planes in Chicago. “We’re not going to put a law enforcement official … to remove a booked, paid, seated passenger,” United Continental Holdings Inc. Chief Executive Officer Oscar Munoz

told ABC News. “We can’t do that.” Munoz said the incident on Sunday resulted from a “system failure” that prevented employees from using “common sense” in the situation and that Dr. David Dao, whom security officers pulled by his hands from the cabin before takeoff, was not at fault. An online petition calling for Munoz to step down as CEO had more than 45,000 signatures on Wednesday morning. REUTERS

PUERTO RICO SLIDING TOWARD BANKRUPTCY

5

Bankruptcy for Puerto Rico is looking ever more likely as the clock ticks down toward a May 1 deadline to restructure $70 billion in debt, ramping up uncertainty for anyone betting on returns from the island’s widely held U.S. municipal bonds. When U.S. Congress last year passed the Puerto Rico rescue law dubbed PROMESA, it froze creditor lawsuits against the island so its federally ap-

pointed oversight board and creditors could negotiate out of court on the biggest debt restructuring in U.S. municipal history. The freeze expires on May 1, however, and an extension by Congress is “not going to happen,” said a Republican aide to the House Committee on Natural Resources, which is in charge of territory matters. A round of mediated talks is scheduled to begin on Thursday. REUTERS

Philly march to demand Trump tax returns

ISTOCK

Philly pulls plug on parking meter app The app’s vendor has “financial problems,� city officials say. SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

Thousands of drivers who used their smartphones to pay for on-street parking with the meterUp app are once again dealing with meters and kiosks. The Philadelphia Parking Authority announced that it suspended the mobile payment app as a payment option on Wednesday after Pango USA, the app service provider, told the agency it cannot pay its bills. Shutting down the app was “unavoidable,�

PPA Executive Director Clarena Tolson said in a statement. “Financial problems being experienced by its service provider, Pango USA, led us to conclude that we must suspend this payment option,� she said. According to the PPA, Pango “is experiencing revenue shortfalls and is unable to pay its contractors including its credit card processor.� Pango provides the “digital system that powers the meterUp app.� The PPA acquired the app for free as part of its agreement reached in 2015 with Pango. The service provider was allowed to charge a “convenience fee� whenever the app was used. “Since the last quar-

ter of 2016, when Pango was purchased and new ownership inherited the PPA Agreement, Pango has tried to work with PPA to find solutions that were consistent with the Agreement and that would give Pango the opportunity to make additional income beyond the $.01 convenience fee, to help limit losses,� the company said in a statement. “After months of meetings without progress on those solutions, and since PPA demanded to cut off value-added services that were already in place, both parties have now agreed that this agreement cannot continue,� the statement added. Pango USA was sold in October 2016 to a com-

pany known as Parking by Phone. Within six months of its launch, the popular app had been downloaded by 36,287 people, and used to pay for more than 90,000 parking sessions. It had been expanded citywide. The PPA will issue a new request for proposals to find a new app developer and operator, Tolson said, but that process could take months. Pango also ran the parking app in Harrisburg. That city’s parking authorities dropped it last month in favor of a company called Parkmobile. A total of 47 cities rely on its apps, which has served more than 700,000 customers, Pango stated on its website.

President Donald Trump has made his opinions on his tax returns clear: He doesn’t think people care. “I don’t think so. I won. I mean, I became president. No, I don’t think they care at all,� he told a reporter at a Jan. 11 news conference. “The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters, OK?� Just how many people care about Trump’s tax returns will become somewhat evident on April 15, when tax marches are scheduled in Pennsylvania and around the country to demand that the president release his entire tax history. More than 3,000 people have responded to an RSVP on Facebook to say they intend to participate in the Philly Tax March, scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday at Thomas Paine Plaza near JFK and Broad Street. “Activists across the country will be rallying on Tax Day, calling on

Donald Trump to act transparently and release his tax returns,� wrote organizers from Philadelphia Jobs with Justice. “This march isn’t just about papers — it’s about economic justice. It’s also about whether Donald Trump and the rest of the superrich are paying their fair share.� The White House released Trump’s 2005 return on the day MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was set to report on the return. It showed Trump was taxed at a roughly 25 percent rate that year, $38 million in taxes on $150 million in income. Trump promised during the campaign to release his tax returns after he was audited, and said he can’t release them while they are under audit. But the IRS said anyone can publicly release their own tax documents, and an audit could last indefinitely. Visit Taxmarch.org for more information. SAM NEWHOUSE

Philly K-9 trainer works with ‘dog whisperer’ Cesar Milan on new show Throw Away Dogs cofounder talks about training K-9 Sting for the an episode of “Dog Nation.� SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

When Carol Skaziak was starting Throw Away Dogs, a nonprofit that trains strays into K-9s, she didn’t imagine the group getting national attention. But all that will change Friday, when the latest episode of Cesar Milan’s new show “Dog Nationâ€? airs, featuring his visit to Philly and work with Throw Away Dogs. “I never thought it would take this route,â€? Skaziak said. “I didn’t ex-

pect it. We didn’t reach out to him, he reached out to us.â€? “Dog Nationâ€? is the latest TV show from Milan, known worldwide as “the dog whisperer,â€? and focuses on communities built around dogs. The new episode, airing on Nat Geo TV, prominently features his work helping Throw Away Dogs train a difficult K-9 candidate, Sting, during Cesar’s visit to the City of Brotherly Love last September. “He was exactly the way you see him on TV,â€? Skaziak said of working with the “dog whispererâ€? in person, whom she described as a “mentor,â€? and his son Andre, who also trains dogs. “There’s no camera tricks,â€? she said. “When you see him fix a dog immediately, he really does fix a dog immediately.

It’s done right then and there.â€? Skaziak, the wife of a Philly police officer, and Throw Away Dogs cofounder Jason Walters, a SEPTA K-9 cop, started the organization in 2014 to help stray dogs with untapped

potential. So far, the group has trained 17 stray dogs to become K-9s and donated them to police departments around the country. Those dogs are mostly German Shepherds and include some Belgian Malinois.

Graduates include K-9 Sonji, a drug detection dog who works for the Logan County Sheriff’s Office in Paris, Arkansas, and K-9 Laika, who now does bomb sweeps at the 9/11 Memorial and Statue of Liberty for the U.S. Parks Police. Throw Away Dogs is currently training two dogs, said Skaziak while driving to pick up a new German Shepherd that was being surrendered to her by a family. Many dog lovers support the concept of dogs being trained to serve the public. “We’re saving a dog, then we’re saving the department money, but what’s happening after that is we’re making a difference in the communities,â€? Skaziak said. “This is huge. This is completely repurposing

Empty chair at Philly City Hall honors US military veterans missing in action The POW/MIA “National Chair of Honor” was unveiled in a ceremony on Monday. The black chair installed in Philadelphia City Hall will forever remain empty, a silent testament to the thousands of American war veterans still considered missing in action. Called the POW/ MIA “National Chair of Honor,” it was unveiled in a ceremony on Monday and dedicated to the memory of service members and the sacrifices they made. “It’s the right thing to do,” said Patrick Hughes, a Marine Corps veteran. Hughes is a photographer with Rolling Thunder, a national nonprofit dedicated to preserving the memory of Ameri-

can prisoners of war and those missing in action of all wars. “Every veteran has earned the absolute right to come home,” Hughes said. It was the latest installation of a memorial chair that has been placed in dozens of sports venues and other locations in Massachusetts, and now includes several in the Philadelphia area. Locally, those include Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, Wells Fargo Center and Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Even St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi Church in South Philly has an entire pew dedicated to the POW/ MIA. Mayor Jim Kenney joined Congressman Bob Brady at the City Hall unveiling, along with members of City Council and local veterans.

At Philadelphia City Hall on Monday, Mayor Jim Kenney, second from right, helped install the POW/MIA National Chair of Honor. PATRICK J. HUGHES

“We are trying to place these chairs in places of prominence to show that the government, knowingly or unknowingly, has left people behind,” Hughes said

in an interview Wednesday. “An empty chair is an instant reminder [of that].” Hughes has helped bring more than 40 of the memorial chairs

to the tri-state area. A planned Memorial Day ceremony to install a Chair of Honor in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington will now take place later this year.

In all, there is an estimated 83,000 U.S. service members still listed as missing in action since World War II. The Chair of Honor program was started by Joe D’Entremont, a locksmith from Boston, and a fellow Rolling Thunder member. He came up with the idea after seeing a seat left vacant for service members at a racing event in Bristol, Tennessee. D’Entremont, who could not be reached for this article due to personal health issues, was determined to bring similar chairs to sporting venues throughout Massachusetts. The first was placed at Gillette Stadium in 2012. Since then, more than 100 chairs have been placed throughout D’Entremont’s home state, including one at Fenway Park in Boston. HAYDEN MITTMAN

866-DOC-LEON

The White House has accused Moscow of trying to cover up Assad’s use of chemical weapons after the attack on a town killed 87 people last week. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday trust had eroded between the United States and Russia under President Donald Trump as Moscow delivered an unusually hostile reception to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a faceoff over Syria. Any hope in Russia that the Trump administration would herald less confrontational relations has been dashed in the past week after the new U.S. leader fired missiles at Syria to punish Moscow’s ally for its suspected use of poison gas. Tillerson met Putin in the Kremlin after talking to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov for around three hours. The Kremlin had previously declined to confirm Putin would meet Tillerson, reflecting tensions over the U.S. strike on Syria. As Tillerson sat down for talks with Lavrov earlier on Wednesday, a senior Russian official assailed the “primitiveness and loutishnessâ€? of U.S. rhetoric, part of a volley of statements that appeared timed to maximize the awkwardness during the first visit by a member of Trump’s cabinet. “One could say that the level of trust on a working level, especially on the military level, has not improved but has rather deteriorated,â€? Putin said in an interview broadcast on Russian television. He doubled down on Russia’s support for

Moscow has stood by Assad, saying the poison gas belonged to rebels, an explanation Washington dismisses as beyond credible GETTY IMAGES

“One could say that the level of trust on a working level, especially on the military level, has not improved but has rather deteriorated.� Putin

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, repeating denials that Assad’s government was to blame for the gas attack last week and adding a new theory that the attack may have been faked by Assad’s enemies. Tillerson reiterated the U.S. position that Assad must eventually relinquish power in Syria but appeared to take a slightly softer line with Russia. â€œWe discussed our view that Russia as their closest ally in the conflict perhaps has the best means of helping Assad recognize this reality,â€? he said. Lavrov had greeted Tillerson with unusually icy remarks, denouncing the missile strike on Syria as illegal and accusing Washington of behaving unpredictably. One of Lavrov’s deputies was even more undiplomatic. “In general, primitiveness and loutishness are very characteristic of the current rhetoric

coming out of Washington,â€? Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia’s stateowned RIA news agency. But Lavrov said some progress had been made on Syria at the meeting and that a working group would be set up to examine the poor state of U.S.-Russia ties. He also said that Putin had agreed to reactivate a U.S.-Russian air safety agreement over Syria which Moscow suspended after the U.S. missile strikes. Tillerson noted the low level of trust between the two countries. â€œThe world’s two foremost nuclear powers cannot have this kind of relationship,â€? he said. Moscow’s hostility to Trump administration figures is a sharp change from last year, when Putin hailed Trump as a strong figure and Russian state television was consistently full of effusive praise for him.

United passenger launches legal action Lawyers for the passenger dragged from a United Airlines plane in Chicago filed an emergency request with an Illinois state court on Wednesday to require the carrier to preserve video recordings and other evidence related to the incident. Citing the risk of “serious prejudice” to their

client, Dr. David Dao, the lawyers want United and the City of Chicago, which runs O’Hare International Airport, to preserve surveillance videos, cockpit voice recordings, passenger and crew lists, and other materials related to United Flight 3411. Chicago’s Aviation Department said on Wednesday that two

more officers had been placed on leave in connection with the April 9 incident, during which airport security officers dragged Dao from his seat aboard a United jet headed for Louisville, Kentucky. One officer was placed on leave on Tuesday. Paul Callan, a civil and criminal trial lawyer in

New York, said the public outcry over Dao’s treatment would likely push the airline to a quick and generous settlement. “Because United has such a catastrophic PR problem, this case has a much greater value than such a case would normally have,” he said.

Wednesday apologized to Dao, his family and United customers in an ABC News interview, saying the company would no longer use law enforcement officers to remove passengers from overbooked flights. “This can never, will never happen again,” he said. Munoz is under pressure to contain a torrent of bad publicity and calls for boycotts against United unleashed by videos that captured Dao’s rough treatment by airline and airport security staff. Dao was removed to make room for additional crew members, United said. Footage from the incident shows Dao, bloodied and disheveled, returning to the cabin and repeating: “Just kill me. Kill me,” and “I have to go home.” As of Tuesday, Dao was still in a Chicago hospital recovering from his injuries, his lawyer said. On Wednesday, United said it would compensate all passengers on board the flight the cost of their tickets. Munoz said United would be examining

the way it compensates customers who volunteer to give up seats on overbooked planes, adding that it would likely not demand that seated passengers surrender their places. Some U.S. lawmakers called for new rules that could make it more difficult for airlines to overbook flights as a tool for increasing revenue. President Donald Trump said it was “horrible” that Dao was dragged off the flight, according to an interview from the Wall Street Journal. Rather than calling for an end to the practice of overselling, Trump said that instead, there should be no upper limit to incentives carriers can offer passengers in exchange for their seats on overbooked flights. Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate committee that oversees transportation have questioned United’s actions. But Delta Air Lines Inc CEO Ed Bastian on Wednesday defended overbooking as “a valid business practice” that does not require additional oversight by the government. REUTERS

Russia blocks UN condemnation of Syria attack It was the eighth time during Syria’s six-yearold civil war that Moscow has used its veto power on the Security Council to shield Assad’s government.

Russia blocked a Western-led effort at the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday to condemn last week’s deadly gas attack in Syria and push Moscow’s ally President Bashar al-Assad to cooperate with international inquiries into the incident. In the latest veto, Russia blocked a draft resolution backed by the United

States, France and Britain to denounce the attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun and tell Assad’s government to provide access for investigators and information such as flight plans. The toxic gas attack on April 4 prompted the United States to launch missile strikes on a Syrian air base and widened

a rift between the United States and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that trust had eroded between the two countries under U.S. President Donald Trump. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson echoed that comment after meetings with Russian leaders in Moscow, saying that rela-

tions are at a low point with a low level of trust. Tillerson called for Assad to eventually relinquish power. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, called on Moscow to stop protecting Assad and said the United States wants to work with Russia toward a political solution for Syria. “Russia once again has chosen to side with Assad, even as the rest of the world, including the Arab world, overwhelmingly comes together to condemn this murderous regime,â€? Haley told the 15-member Security Council. “If the regime is innocent, as Russia claims, the information requested in this resolution would have vindicated them.â€? Russia’s deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, said the draft resolution laid blame prior to an independent investigation. “I’m amazed that this was the conclusion. No one has yet visited the site of the crime. How do you know that?â€? he said. He said the U.S. attack on the Syrian air base “was carried out in violation of international norms.â€? Syria’s government has denied responsibility for the gas attack in a rebel-held area of northern Syria that killed at least 87 people, many of them children. A fact-finding mission from the Organization for

the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is investigating the attack. If it determines that chemical weapons were used, then a joint U.N./ OPCW investigation will look at the incident to determine who is to blame. This team has already found Syrian government forces were responsible for three chlorine gas attacks in 2014 and 2015 and that Islamic State militants used mustard gas. China, which has vetoed six resolutions on Syria since the civil war began, abstained from Wednesday’s U.N. vote, along with Ethiopia and Kazakhstan. Ten countries voted in favor of the text, while Bolivia joined Russia in voting no. President Donald Trump, speaking at an event in the White House, said he was not surprised by China’s abstention. Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft told the Security Council that samples taken from the site of the April 4 attack had been analyzed by British scientists and tested positive for the nerve gas sarin. He said Assad’s government was responsible. Diplomats said that Russia has put forward a rival draft resolution that expresses concern at last week’s gas attack and condemns the U.S. strike on Syria. It was unclear if Moscow planned to put the text to a vote. REUTERS

BOSTON Joe Biden to speak at Harvard’s Class Day Former Vice President Joe Biden will head to Harvard on May 24 to speak at the university’s 2017 Class Day. Biden, who before becoming former President Obama’s No. 2 represented Delaware in the Senate, will speak to graduating seniors before their commencement, the school announced on Wednesday. Harvard dropout and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg

will deliver the commencement address the next day. The Class Day tradition started in 1968 when the Senior Class Committee began inviting its own speakers, according to the university. The first invited guest was Martin Luther King Jr.; his widow Coretta Scott King delivered the Class Day speech in his place after his assassination. Last year, actress Rashida Jones, who attended Harvard, delivered the Class Day address.

Other speakers have included Natalie Portman, NBC “Today” anchor Matt Lauer and former President Bill Clinton. “I am honored to be invited to be a part of this special day at Harvard,” Biden said in a statement. “Today’s generation of students is the most engaged, the most tolerant and the best educated in the history of the United

States of America. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to this year’s graduating class about the great power they hold to shape our nation’s future.” Class Day events, which include award presentations and student speeches, will take place at 2 p.m., in Tercentenary Theatre in Harvard Yard, and will be livestreamed.

Trapped by Depression? Britain’s Daily Mail agreed on Wednesday to pay Melania Trump an undisclosed sum and issue an apology after it published an article saying the first lady had offered “services beyond simply modeling” in her former job. President Donald Trump’s wife, 46, had sued the publisher of the Daily Mail in Britain and also filed a $150 million lawsuit against it in New York, claiming the article had cost her millions of dollars in potential business. A person familiar with the situation said the settlement was worth less than $3 million, including legal costs and damages. The Daily Mail, which runs what it calls the world’s largest Englishlanguage newspaper website, apologized for the article on Wednesday and issued a retraction on its home page. “An article on 20th August 2016 about Melania Trump … questioned the nature of her work as a professional model, and republished allegations that she provided services beyond simply modeling,” publisher

Associated Newspapers said. “We accept that these allegations about Mrs. Trump are not true and we retract and withdraw them … we have agreed to pay her damages and costs.” At the High Court in London, Trump’s lawyer said the article, headlined “Racy photos and troubling questions about his wife’s past that could derail Trump,” was published as a two-page spread and accompanied by an old photo of Melania Trump standing naked with her front against a wall but looking back at the camera. “Readers of the newspaper that day could not fail to miss the article,” John Kelly told the court. “The article included false and defamatory claims about the claimant which questioned the nature of her work as a professional model. “The suggestion that such allegations even merit investigation is deeply offensive and has caused a great deal of upset and distress to the claimant,” he said.

Civil liberties groups sue US, Widow of Orlando nightclub gunman seek details on travel ban The suits are an attempt to enforce requests filed under the Freedom of Information Act just days after Trump signed his first executive order limiting travel. Civil liberties groups on Wednesday said they were filing a series of lawsuits against the federal government seeking details on how federal agencies enforced President Donald Trump’s ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. The lawsuits were filed by local chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union against U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security and cover their operations in 14 cities stretching from Portland, Maine, to San Diego. That Jan. 27 order,

intended to fulfill a campaign promise to take a tough stance on immigration, first temporarily barred travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The order, which also temporarily barred refugees, led to a weekend of chaos at airports with travelers barred from entering the country upon landing while thousands of people turned out to protest the measures. A federal judge ordered a halt to enforcement of that ban and Trump followed up in March with a less-sweeping order that

did not limit travelers from Iraq, but which has also been challenged in courts. Opponents said the orders violated the Constitution’s prohibitions on religious discrimination, citing Trump’s campaign promises to impose a “Muslim ban.” The Trump administration said the restrictions are legal and are necessary to protect national security. The suits, filed in federal courts, seek disclosure of how many people have been detained or subjected to additional screening since the first executive or-

der as well as the guidance that was provided to DHS staff about how to enforce the order. “Customs and Border Protection has a long, rich history of ignoring its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act and so these lawsuits are an effort to enforce its obligations,” said Zachary Heiden, legal director at the ACLU of Maine, in a phone interview. He noted that the ACLU filed its FOIA requests for information on Feb. 2. Officials at CBP and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the suits. In addition to Portland and San Diego, the suits cover CBP operations in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Tucson, Miami and Tampa. One suit filed in Florida covers the two cities in that state. REUTERS

pleads not guilty in Florida court The widow of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to aiding her husband in the June 2016 killings. Noor Salman, 30, the wife of Omar Mateen, appeared in federal court in Orlando for less than five minutes. It was her first court appearance in Florida since she was transferred by U.S. marshals from California where she had been held. She faces charges of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting Mateen in his attempt to provide material support to a terrorist organization. Prosecutors have said she made up a cover story for her husband

that she told to police officers and FBI agents. Salman has said she was herself a victim of domestic abuse by Mateen and was unaware of his intentions to attack the nightclub. Her trial is scheduled to begin in June before U.S. District Judge Paul Byron in Orlando. Salman’s attorney waived the reading of the indictment against her and entered pleas of not guilty to the charges. Police killed Mateen, a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, after the shooting rampage at the Pulse nightclub. After the killings began, Mateen called emergency dispatchers to profess allegiance to a leader of the Islamic State militant group. REUTERS

ARE YOU CURRENTLY BEING TREATED WITH BUPRENORPHINE (SUBOXONEÂŽ, SUBUTEXÂŽ OR BUNAVAILÂŽ) AND WOULD LIKE TO BE OPIOID FREE?

MAKING COLLEGE PLANS People get all lathered up over things the federal government does, even when those things don’t actually have a lot to do with our lives. But big states can also take actions which affect the whole county. That’s why educators are on red alert over pending legislation in New York. The Empire State appears poised to approve free college for — well, if not everyone — at least an awful lot of folks who might otherwise struggle mightily to pay the bills. This has been a Democratic dream for years, and Bernie Sanders (and to a lesser degree, Hillary Clinton) raised it to grail status during the last election. And why not? College costs have exploded like vig payments to the mob, far outpacing inflation. Many families have no prayer of saving enough, and when their kids head off to school they know they are diving into an ocean of debt. The Excelsior Scholar-

TOM FOREMAN Opinion

ship will be aimed at New York kids going to their own state’s colleges, as long as their families make less than $100,000 a year. The promise: free tuition for four years of college or two years of community college for a significant portion of the middle class. Room, board, and books are not included and that still involves a lot of cash, but the plan is nonetheless worth

thousands to any qualifying family. There are plenty of details to consider. For example, students who go for this will have to remain and work in the state for several years after graduating or the cost of their education becomes a loan they must repay. And private schools, which have griped this could cut into their client base, will get a little funding assistance too. Lawmakers will certainly have to tweak it along the way. This is, after all, a big program which will cost a bundle. Still, while some less-populous states have been fiddling with some aspects of free college, if all goes as expected, New York will become the biggest player to join in this grand experiment. And that has the real possibility of tipping some others over the edge ‌ bringing one of Bernie Sanders’ most ardent ideas to life, long after his campaign died.

If the answers is yes, you may qualify to take part in a clinical research study.

Japan automakers look to robots to keep elderly on the move Toyota Motor Corp. said it saw the possibility of becoming a mass producer of robots to help the elderly in a country whose population is ageing faster than the rest of the world as the birthrate decreases. Japanese automakers are looking beyond the industry trend to develop self-driving cars and turning their attention to robots to help keep the country’s rapidly graying society on the move. The country’s changing demographics place its automakers in a unique situation. Along with the issues usually associated with falling

populations such as labor shortages and pension squeezes, Japan also faces dwindling domestic demand for cars. Toyota, the world’s second largest automaker, made its first foray into commercializing rehabilitation robots on Wednesday, launching a rental service for its walk assist system,

which helps patients to learn how to walk again after suffering strokes and other conditions. Toyota’s system follows the release by Honda Motor Co. of its own walking assist “robotic legs” in 2015, which was based on technology developed for its ASIMO dancing robot. “If there’s a way that

producing robots would be a natural step for the company which evolved from a loom maker in 1905 into an automaker whose mission is to “make practical products which serve a purpose.” “Be it robots or cars, if there’s a need for mass produced robots, we should do it with gusto,” Isobe said. Japan is graying faster than the rest of the world, with the number of people aged 65 or older accounting for 26.7 percent of the population in 2015, dwarfing the global average of about 8.5 percent. As a result, demand for care services for elderly people has boomed and a shrinking working population means that fewer ablebodied adults are available to look after them.

UK lawmakers: Brexit referendum website might have been hacked A website which allowed Britons to register to vote in last year’s European Union referendum might have been targeted by foreign hackers causing it to crash before the deadline, a committee of British lawmakers said. More than a million potential voters applied to register online in the run up to the deadline two weeks before last June’s vote and the government extended the cut-off point after the website crashed, blaming it on a late rush by mainly young citizens. In a report, parliament’s Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee said it did not rule out the possibility that the crash was caused by a Distributed Denial of Service cyber attack. “PACAC is deeply concerned about these allegations about foreign interference,” said the report, adding the committee did not believe any interference had impacted the outcome. Russia has been accused of trying to influence the 2016 U.S. election and the committee said the government needed to ensure future elections and referendums were monitored.

Allison Williams says goodbye to Marnie HBO/MARK SCHAFER

THE FUN STARTS HERE HBO/DANIELLE LEVITT

The actress tells us about her last day on the “Girls” set. ARIANA BUSTOS/MWN @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

It’s no small feat to play one of the most unlikable characters on “Girls,” much less for six seasons. While Marnie Michaels is often maligned for her narcissism and naivete, embarrassing musical moments and poor relationship choices, after inhabiting the role for six years, Allison Williams came to appreciate her better qualities. Before the end of “Girls,” the 28-year-old actress tells us what she admires about Marnie and what she’s learned from the show. What aspects of Marnie have you adopted and vice versa throughout the series? I like her bravery, how she behaves without fear.

I’m not like that, but maybe it’s a good thing because every time Marnie does something wild, like singing, it’s embarrassing. I would not do that. Something good about Marnie is that when she has an idea, she simply does it without worrying about what others might think of her. She works in mysterious ways, I’m still learning, but I probably will not start picking up the microphone at other people’s parties to sing when no one wants me to. From me, Marnie took my entire body, the way I look. She took everything I have. I think I gave her a home. How have you evolved as an actress during these six seasons? It’s so strange. In the first season I had no idea what I was doing. All my training had been on improvising. So I just knew what I did not have to do: improvise. But over time I got better with this ability

to step in and know exactly how to interpret the situation Marnie was going through. Part of that is because I got to know Marnie very well.“Girls” feels very natural to me, to just enter into Marnie’s mind and be there. What values do you think “Girls” has instilled in female viewers? I think empowerment and self-sufficiency. At the end of the day you have to be all you need for yourself, which is something that all the characters in the series end up learning in some way. It’s a bit sad to think that you can’t trust others for certain reasons, but I think they all realize they have to be there when the other person needs it. And that is the only way to be a good friend. I think that is a very important value for girls: knowing that before you start helping others, you have to know yourself and be your best advocate

know Lena has mentioned it in some interviews, and it would be fascinating to see what the characters are doing in 10 years from now and find out if my fantasy of what I want for Marnie came true. I want her to marry Elijah and have a very modern marriage where everyone can do whatever they want outside the couple, have children they love and support each other as best and inseparable friends. And that they can live their romantic fantasies wherever they are.

My last day was really sad, although I had finished shooting the day before, I was on the set to accompany Lena and distract her, because none of the scenes she had to do were sad. So, we both sat down and started to talk about our best moments during the series and remembered a lot of things. It was happy, but also really strange to know we were not going to be together again with the entire team and the cast. Do you think there will be a movie or spin-off of “Girls”? I hope we can come back to “Girls” one day. I

What’s next for you? I was in the movie “Get Out.” And then I’ll work on several things for myself until something else comes up. I’m not interested in doing something I’ve already done, and I’m not going to play anything that resembles Marnie.

‘Doctor Who’ is new again Bill Potts joins The Doctor for the 10th season of “Doctor Who,� starting April 15 on BBC America. BBC AMERICA

The rebooted sci-fi series’ 10th season has tons of treats in store for new and longtime fans. SARAH YANEZ-RICHARDS @MetroNewYork letters@metro.us

Can a show entering its 10th season really be new again? That’s the magic of “Doctor Who,� the sci-fi series about a time-traveling alien called The Doctor and his human Companion, which began in 1963, was canceled in 1989 and revived by the BBC in 2005. When Season 10 premieres on Saturday, April 15, on BBC America, it will introduce a new Companion — the first openly gay one, at that — and bring back some of the series’ most iconic villains for even wilder adventures. It’s a treat

for longtime fans, and a great way to introduce new ones to the “Doctor Who� universe. Stars Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie, along with showrunner Steven Moffat, tell us what to expect. Her name is Bill Even more than when The Doctor regenerates into a new form (read: actor), changing his Companion is a great way for new fans to get into the show. The character of Bill Potts (Mackie) took nearly a year to craft, according to Moffat, who doesn’t see her sexuality as the headline news it’s become. “We do not expect a pat on the back,� he says. “This is the least representation that people should have, and it has taken a long time to get here.� For her part, Mackie describes her character

as “very real and very human.� Unlike the calculating, manic alien that is The Doctor, the human Companion is meant to be a touchstone for viewers. “I hope people can identify with her. Bill says inopportune things, she gets carried away by

While many other Companions simply accept The Doctor’s wonky reality, Bill is going to need a little explanation before risking her life for adventures in space and time. “She asks him the questions that should be asked, and these are questions that have not been asked before,� says Moffat. “It is not because she is an interrogator, but because she is alive and curious.� Perhaps as a last hurrah by Moffat after a long tenure as showrunner, The Doctor will also confront some of his oldest enemies: The original 1960s Cybermen make a return, as do both incarnations of his ultimate frenemy, The Master and, of course, the Daleks. If you’re not up on the mythology, don’t worry — with Bill along, The Doctor will be explaining his convoluted history as he deals with whatever trouble he’s gotten them into.

A last hurrah It’s been Capaldi’s dream to play The Doctor since he watched the original series at 5 years old, but after three seasons he’s decided to move on. “Sad, because it has been a great experience,� he says of leaving the Tardis, his dimension-hopping phone booth. “I loved being a Doctor, but it’s time to go. It was becoming increasingly difficult to find new ways to interpret the character.� That said, the third season definitely gave him plenty to work with. He hints that The Doctor sees “great potential� in Bill. “She is not afraid of things that happen to her or of what The Doctor shows.�

Where should the ‘Fast and the Furious’ series go next? A mash-up movie

The action franchise’s grip on reality is tentative, so what extreme plot points could the future hold?

Batman has fought Superman. The Men in Black once nearly paired with the “21 Jump Street” reboot team, for some reason. Why not do some crossover episode involving the “Furious” hot rodders? We’d like to see them battle the Transformers, with one army of speed racers versus another in a cross-country marathon — basically “The Cannonball Run” but with a part where The Rock and Bumblebee beat each other up.

MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Remember “The Fast and the Furious”? We mean the original. It was 2001, and the summer movie season was gifted with a simple entertainment in which two up-andcomers — one Vin Diesel and one Paul Walker — played ripped dudes who drive cars real fast. It wasn’t “realistic,” but compared to the outlandish, surreal, OTT events of the last few sequels, it’s an English period piece. At some point a relatively small, Roger Corman-style exploitation movie about cars morphed into a franchise where The Rock battles a helicopter and our heroes jump a car between two separate Abu Dhabi skyscrapers.

Our heroes drive over ice or whatever in the new “The Fate of the Furious,” in theaters Friday. MARK ROGERS

Both those events hail from “Furious 7.” Perhaps you remember the longest airline tarmac in the world from “Fast & Furious 6”? There are even silly sights in “The Fate of the Furious,” too. Where on earth could they go next? How could they top a series that no longer has much to do with the stripped-down

original? Well, we have some suggestions:

Under the sea Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is ocean. That’s a lot of new places to drive around. Dom could equip his team’s gallery of sweet rides with aquatic capabilities, much like that Bond car from “The Spy

Who Loved Me” that can turn into an underwater cruiser. Their adventures could be of the Jules Verne variety, with our heroes discovering mermaids and fantastical deep sea monsters. And the hand-to-hand combat could be done in the style of the hilarious underwater fight that capped off the ZAZ parody “Top Secret!”

Time travel Don’t remake “Back to the Future,” as execs have occasionally threatened to do. Just let the “Fast/Furious” team go back in time. Instead of a tricked-up DeLorean, we’d have an even faster ride that can jump to the past in about three seconds. Dom et al. could kill Hitler or save Rome from burning or fight in the Revolutionary War or tussle with the armies of Alexander the Great. They could become cowboys or centurions or hang with Genghis Khan. Or they could go back to the first film and tell everyone how ridiculous the series would become one day.

Straight-up race car movie Or they could return to their roots. Having caused enough mischief around the globe, our team could retire and go back to their Los Angeles digs. But you can’t keep good speed junkies down for long. Eventually Dom would secretly nip off to some old-fashioned illegal races, while Letty could slip off to steal some goods. Along the way they teach some young kids how to do what they do. They could be played by Ashton Sanders of “Moonlight” and Jacob Tremblay from “Room.” And thus the series could live on into the infinite.

Charlize Theron (with Vin Diesel) plays the villain with terrible hair in “The Fate of the Furious.� UNIVERSAL PICTURES

“The Fate of the Furious�

Director: F. Gary Gray Stars: Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez Rating: PG-13 The only way to go, as they say, is up. But where exactly is “upâ€? when your last ďŹ lm had the Rock ďŹ ghting a helicopter? Or a sweet ride speeding from one skyscraper into another skyscraper? Or a part where Thai martial arts god Tony Jaa is bested by Paul Walker (or anyone, for that matter)? The “Fast and/or Furiousâ€? franchise has grown more ludicrous with each installment. (In fact, the turning point was when they added Ludacris himself to the team in “Fast Five.â€?) Episode eight in the most confusingly titled franchise aside from the “Ramboâ€? series

can’t top what came before. It’s an auto-fetishist saga that’s oďŹƒcially spinning its wheels. OK, maybe that’s unfair: It does sport the Rock manhandling a torpedo and a race against a submarine and Jason Statham killing untold minions while holding a baby. Stupid thrills are still stupid thrills, and “Fateâ€? at least adds something generally fresh to the series: a story. Rather than the usual Bondian amalgam of set pieces half-assedly strung together, it has Vin Diesel’s Dom — our heroes’ glowering honcho and obnoxious overuser of the word “familyâ€? — mysteriously go bad. Turning on his gang of thieves (or whatever they are now), he shacks up with a mega-ultra-super-hacker played by Charlize Theron, who has a yen for stealing assorted apocalyptic MacGuďŹƒns. “Fateâ€? is a little too quick

to supply a reason for Dom going Benedict Arnold; it would have been fun to see him spend a little bit longer acting like the Evil Man of Steel from “Superman III.� Still, there is Theron, predictably delightful as she orgasmically purrs threats, rising above her credibility-subtracting thin, blonde dreadlocks. And there are action scenes that think outside-the-box, including a prison break that brings back the old quicksilver Statham, and a clever (and, to New Yorkers, harrowing) stretch where a sea

of hacked cars speed down Fifth Avenue. Nevermind that it’s a Hollywood blockbuster in which no one bats an eye that the NSA can spy on anyone near a camera. And maybe disregard its eternally uninspired midaction scene quips. Here’s a limo that comes equipped with a helicopter gun and Dame Helen Mirren swinging by long enough to drop the token fbomb. Spinning wheels is only a problem when you suck. MP

Things you can’t miss at the Easter Promenade Mr. and Mrs Peter Cottontail in their 1956 Thunderbird ALL PHOTOS PROVIDED.

This weekend marks its 86th anniversary. JENNIFER LOGUE @jenniferlogue

jennifer.logue@metro.us

Easter is this weekend, and if you’re looking for some family-friendly fun, hop on down to the 86th annual Easter Promenade on Sunday, April 16. The event begins at 12:30 p.m. at Passyunk Avenue and South Street, with a formal introduction from master of

ceremonies, Henri David. Promenade participants will stroll to Headhouse Square (at 2nd Street), where most of the action will be happening. Here are five things you definitely shouldn’t miss:

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cottontail The Easter Bunny and his wife will be at the event, hanging out with the kids and grownups alike, as well as cruising down South Street in their 1956 Thunderbird.

Entrants for Best Dressed Girls wave their numbers at the judges.

The live music Big music fan? Be sure to make time in your schedule to hear the Philadelphia Freedom Band perform. They will march in the promenade and will even perform the “Bunny Hop” at the mainstage area in Headhouse Square. During this time, volunteers dressed as bunnies will dance along with the audience.

all-out with his ensemble. His costumes have sometimes been as big as three feet wide and up to four feet high — always with a lot of color and that South Street “razzle dazzle.” David has served as master of ceremonies since the ’80s.

Taking part in the costume contest Both children and adults can enter the costume contests, being judged this year by a team of celebrity judges (including me) at Headhouse Square. The 12 categories are: best dressed little girl, best dressed little boy, best dressed young girl, best dressed young boy, best dressed teen girl, best dressed teen boy, best dressed woman, best dressed man, best dressed family, best dressed pet, best Easter

bonnet and best South Street razzle dazzle. All children who enter receive free Easter treats and stickers.

Digging into brunch specials Easter isn’t complete without indulging in a decadent meal with the family. A few area restaurants offering special Easter brunches include: The Twisted Tail, Pizzeria Stella, The Little Lion, Bridget Foy’s and more.

All eyes were on this dapper little gent in 2015 — he went on to win best dressed boy.

Night Market kicks off in May The Food Trust’s outdoor food truck festival begins in Burholme. MEREDITH ORLANDINI@ MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

Seven years ago, The Food Trust created an event that would bring all of Philly’s communities together in order to celebrate one of our favorite things — food. Four area neighborhoods will host The Food Trust’s outdoor food truck festival this year, which kicks off Thursday, May 11, in Burholme, running from 6-10 p.m. at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Rising Sun Avenue. It continues each month through October (except for September) in the neighborhoods of Spruce Hill, Roxborough and the Italian Market. During each Night Market, the streets will flood with music, drinks

Whether you’re looking for something salty and greasy or light and fresh, Night Market’s plethora of food trucks are equipped to satisfy. Roam the streets of your Philly neighborhoods and find the best foods. With all the yummy options, just remember: Don’t fill up at the first food truck.

some delicious finger foods, however, there might be some delicious dishes that surprise you. “Night Market is all about showing people that festival food isn’t just chicken fingers and hot dogs, which are still delicious, but there’s actually quite a diversity of flavors and even healthy and fresh options.” Night Market is in fact more than just a fun food festival; it’s a way to help support local food entrepreneurs as well as highlight new blossoming areas of our city.

The Barnes latest exhibit, “Person of the Crowd: The Contemporary Art of Flanerie,” examines work inspired by the flaneur — an idler who takes their time to stop and observe the world around them. These observations produce artful commentary on issues ranging from gentrification, gender politics, racism and more.

How to spend a long weekend in Fort Lauderdale. ED CONDRAN @MetroPhilly

When it comes to the East Coast of Florida, Miami tends to grab all the headlines. But if you look just half an hour north to Fort Lauderdale, you’ll find plenty of charm, great drinks and fun excursions.

View from the sea In the yachting capital of the world, you have to take a cruise. Sail down Millionaire’s Row on the Intracoastal Waterway to see the ostentatious homes (Wayne Huiz-

Everglades Holiday Park FACEBOOK

enga’s estate features three waterfalls and a bell tower) and the mega yachts courtesy of Island Queen Cruises ($28 adults, $20 kids, islandqueencruises. com). The 90-minute cruise also takes visitors south to Biscayne Bay for views of the downtown Miami skyline and Miami Beach.

Grab a drink After the sobering experience of seeing how the 1 percenters live, drop anchor at one of Fort Lauderdale’s best watering holes. The swanky Blue Martini Lounge (2432 E. Sunrise Blvd., fortlauderdale.bluemartinilounge.com) hit the spot with their bellinis and dirty martinis. After hanging out on

their outdoor patio, dial it down at the H20 Cafe (101 S. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., h2ocafe. net), a mellow Italian bar and bistro. The Parrot Lounge (911 Sunrise Lane, parrotlounge. com) is a local institution that started as a Spring Break hotspot a generation ago and is now a no-frills joint offering good pub grub, a raw bar and quality craft brews.

River of grass No Fort Lauderdale trip would be complete without an airboat tour. Trek to nearby Everglades Holiday Park ($30.99, $12 and under $18.99, evergladesholidaypark. com) for a close-up look at alligators, snakes, heron and more native wildlife.

Your Fort Lauderdale boutique escape Spring may have arrived earlier than expected, but we were ready to jump right into summer with a trip to Fort Lauderdale. After a three-hour flight ($181 roundtrip via Newark), we felt like we were light years away upon arriving at the luxe Pelican Grand Beach Resort (2000 N. Ocean Blvd., pelicanbeach.com). Unlike some of its ultramodern neighbors (some would argue too modern for Florida’s casual, timeless beaches), the Pelican Grand exudes warmth and class. The resort conjures the feeling of Old Florida, its tin-roofed turrets and shingle siding rising regally from the sandy shores. The destination within a destination is one of the few boutique resorts right on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Not dealing with the perpetually busy A1A is a huge plus. Add-

ing to the tranquility is Pelican Grand’s pristine private beach, which is much less crowded than those farther south. The hotel

pool boasts the only lazy river in the city — parents can dig into a book while kids spend hours basking under the warm sun along the lengthy river. For a bit of rejuvenation, the

on-site Pure Spa takes a Swedish approach to holistic wellbeing, with the latest technology like Hydra Therapy, which soothes and replenishes your skin — essential after a long day in the sun and sand. The hotel’s Ocean2000 Restaurant and Lounge is a can’t-miss for dinner. Ask for a table on the porch and you will find yourself in a room to dine for, so to speak, considering the dramatic view. The artisan charcuterie & cheese board features local honeycomb and housemade pickles, while the Florida lobster risotto, accompanied by fresh black truffles, is a total indulgence. When you’re reading to turn in for the day, every spacious suite offers a private balcony, while the Sky Suite penthouse or the Pure Suite are all about stunning views and opulence.

Bonnaroo has to be summer’s chillest music festival — with four days of musical acts, art installations and more spread over 700 acres, you’ve got to pace yourself. Not this year, hippies. Founded in the spirit of

Woodstock and Phish’s legendary jam sessions, 2017’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is making more room for newer genres. The festival, which takes place June 8-11 at Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee, is launching an all-night party on a brand new open-air stage dubbed The Other. Because Bonnaroo’s previous Other Tent just couldn’t hold them anymore, the biggest names in dance, electronic and hip-hop music like cos-

tumed EDM star Marshmello, “instrumental livetronica” group Big Gigantic, Dutch DJ San Holo and more will take over for an epic all-night set. Spanning 13 stages, Bonnaroo will feature over 130 performers led by Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Weeknd and, for their first time at the festival, U2 will perform a special set celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1987 album “The Joshua Tree.” Tickets start at $210.50 at bonnaroo. com.

Flyers’ struggles could lead to Claude Giroux trade Injuries and lack of production might spell the end of Giroux’s career in Philadelphia. EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

There are few players in Philadelphia who are as long-tenured and fully indoctrinated into the sports landscape in the city as Claude Giroux, the Flyers captain and a staple with the team since 2008. As their season came to a disappointing end, becoming the first team in NHL history to miss the playoffs during a year that contained a 10game win streak, there is not surprisingly a lot of blame landing on the center’s shoulders. So much so that several news outlets have reported rumors, or have suggested strategically, that general manager Ron Hextall and the Flyers’ front office move

on and trade the 29-yearold. After missing the postseason for the third time in five seasons with roughly the same exact core at the center of the team’s offense, something has to change, right? “When you don’t make the playoffs, when you don’t meet your expectations, change might happen,� Giroux said, in full acknowledgement of the team’s three goals per game scoring average through 32 games that shrunk to just two over the final 50. “But at the end of the day, it’s not up to us. For us, it’s to keep working, keep doing what we’re doing. We like our team, we like our group.� Giroux faced a few road blocks that led to his decreased production and minus-15 rating. He had a constantly-changing roster and played with a bevy of different line combinations. He also had offseason surgery on his hip.

“When you try to do something and you can’t do it, your mind wants to do something but your body doesn’t do it, it’s frustrating,� Giroux said. “It was up and down like our team and

it’s got to be better, and it will.� Giroux scored just 14 goals in 2016-17, his lowest total since playing in just 48 games in 201213. He played in all 82 games this season and

has scored 20 or more goals in five of his last six full seasons. “G’s a great player,� Giroux’s teammate and occasional linemate Wayne Simmonds said. “This year I don’t know

what it was. I think his hip, I don’t know what it was. Maybe there was something there. Maybe he wasn’t 100 percent, but he’s a warrior. He’s going to battle for the guys, he’s our captain, he’s our leader. He’s not going to leave us to hang no matter how he feels. He’s going to show up and he’s going to put his best effort forth no matter what.� There are a lot of unknowns this offseason for a team with a deep, rich farm system and a core of players for whom expectations are always sky high. Is it possible the Flyers are not as close to contending for championships as many have thought in recent years? “I really think that we’re not far off,� Giroux said. “We’ve shown that we can be a good team, but good teams are a little more consistent than what we were this year. It’s just a couple games that we let get away from us.�

Phillies vets on two different trajectories Clay Buchholz is done for the year, Howie Kendrick has been sharp. KYLE PHILLIPPI @Kyle_Phillippi sports@metro.us

Pete Mackanin didn’t mince words after the Phillies’ disastrous 14-4 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night. “Another embarrassing game against the New York Mets,” the Phillies manager said. Indeed it was, but it also highlighted the good and the bad that the Phillies have seen in their offseason acquisitions through the first

week and a half of the regular season. Clay Buchholz, brought in via trade from the Boston Red Sox, has a $13.5 million price tag besides his name for the 2017 season, and while he’ll be off the books after this year, it certainly hasn’t gone the way the team had intended. While general manager Matt Klentak said over the weekend that this organization doesn’t necessarily view the veterans they bring in as potential trade deadline bait — if they turn out to be so, Klentak said, than that’s a bonus — Bucholz appeared destined to be just that with the slew of young arms wait-

ing on the farm. After just two starts though, Buchholz is out for the year with a partial tear in his forearm. The right-hander finishes 2017 with a 0-1 record and a 12.27 ERA in just seven innings of work through two outings. Having been through injuries before, Buchholz called the situation “frustrating.” Jake Thompson, Zach Eflin or Nick Pivetta will likely replace Buchholz in the Phillies’ starting rotation. Would any team have wanted Buchholz at the deadline anyway, especially considering the little interest he had this offseason? Probably not.

Thankfully for the Phillies, there’s Howie Kendrick and to a lesser degree, Michael Saunders. Kendrick, brought in through a trade, has been nothing short of spectacular on a team that has been lackluster. The 33-year-old leads the team with a .407 average, is one back of the lead in RBIs with five and has three doubles and a triple, as well. He has a hit in all but one game he’s played in this season.

As for Saunders, he has yet to really make his mark, but has driven in five runs and when he’s flashed, he’s done so in a big way with a pair of multi-hit games, including a strong 3-for5 game against Washington in which he fell a homer shy of the cycle. Between the two of them, there’s certainly going to be some interest from contending teams come the deadline assuming they maintain or in Saunders’ case, elevate just a little bit

more, to keep up their value. As for the pitching staff, well, the Phillies are seeing that maybe not even a veteran out to prove his worth can replicate what Jeremy Hellickson did on a oneyear deal in 2016. So, yes, there’s some risk to bringing in veterans as the Phillies did in three players this offseason, but if they can hit on at least two of them, they could definitely become commodities over the summer.

So Khloe Kardashian wants to have kids with Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson and made that public this week in ES Magazine. “[Thompson] is already a father and I know for a fact that he would be an impeccable father,” Khloe said. “I definitely want to be a mom. But I don’t put pressure on it. It’s not like, ‘the clock is ticking.’” Oh boy. The old “clock is ticking” deal

LONGEST OF ODDS The NBA remains the most predictable when it comes to the four major U.S. pro sports leagues. You’d have to go back to the Detroit Pistons of 2004 to recall an NBA championship victory that was truly shocking. Even that team was a No. 3 seed in the East and the season prior they were a No. 1 seed and were established as a “top team.” That’s why some of these NBA playoff odds really aren’t ridiculous enough. The Portland Trail Blazers are currently 300/1 odds to win

the NBA title this spring. I would make the case that those odds should be more like 9,000/1. The Celtics have 30/1 odds of winning the title this spring. I would say something more realistic would be 600/1. The only way the C’s beat a playoff field with the Cavs (7/2 odds) and the starstudded Warriors (10/23 odds) in front of them is if LeBron, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry all go down with season-ending injuries. The odds of that happening probably do lie somewhere around 600/1.

… passive-aggressive city. Based on those comments and the fact that Khloe has been a part of the sports world since Celtics fans chanted, “ug-ly sis-ter” at Lamar Odom in the 2010 NBA Finals — I assumed Khloe was approaching being 40 years old and the clock really was ticking when it came to a potential Tristan Jr. Not quite. Kardashian is still just 32.

ORAL FIXATION One of those funnyname schools that always found its way into your bracket each March was Oral Roberts. The guy who coached the school’s basketball team since 1999 was Scott Sutton (pictured), and he was fired this week because his teams were not as good the past two years. Sutton did not just all of a sudden forget how to coach basketball. Instead, he was

forced to adhere to rules implemented by school president and full-time stickler, Billy Wilson. Wilson demanded that Sutton get back in touch with the school’s evangelical tradition and told him to not recruit players with tattoos. Players would also have to pass a “faith exam� to sign with Oral Roberts. Remember folks: Bureaucrats kill societies.

Aries Make strategic moves that will help you gain respect and the support of your peers. Choose perfection and precision over excess to help you reach your goals.

Libra Don’t stifle passionate feelings. Speak up about past regrets and actions you would like to take to resolve pending matters. Your honesty will be appreciated.

Taurus Push for what you want, but do so in your own way. If you aren’t afraid to stand out, people will take notice and give you the little push you need to reach your goals.

Scorpio Do something to boost your morale. Doing something special or exciting with a loved one will help revitalize your physical well-being.

Gemini You’ll face a dilemma if you mix business with pleasure. A partnership will head into a stalemate if you or the person you are dealing with isn’t being authentic.

Sagittarius Secret plans will be ruined if you aren’t careful. Don’t trust anyone to uphold a promise to keep something under wraps. To avoid meddling, don’t share your plans.

Cancer Show passion in all that you pursue. Make arrangements to socialize with people you haven’t seen for some time. Make romance a priority.

Capricorn Turn your thoughts and ideas into something tangible. You’ll have the chance to excel if you veer from the mainstream and do your own thing.

Leo You’ll end up being angry if you let someone force you into a compromising position. Take a pass and concentrate on personal improvements.

Aquarius Look for a creative outlet that will allow you to put your skills and intelligence to work. Mapping out what you want to accomplish will help you reach your goal.

Virgo Emotional energy will encourage you to push through what needs to be done so that you can move forward with your plans.

Pisces Move forward at a steady pace. Don’t feel pressured to jump too quickly. Stick to your game plan in order to succeed. EUGENIA LAST
