TRUMP: CHINA COULD HAVE HACKED EMAILS

TORNADOES TEAR ACROSS RELIGIOUS LEADERS MUST TEXAS, KILLING FOUR UNITE TO DEFEAT HATRED

President Donald Trump said China may have hacked the emails of Democratic officials to meddle with the 2016 presidential election, countering the view of U.S. intelligence officials who have said Moscow orchestrated the hacks. In an interview transcript published on Sunday, Trump gave no evidence backing his allegation, first made on the eve of the Nov. 8 presidential election,

that China could have hacked the emails of his rivals. “If you don’t catch a hacker, OK, in the act, it’s very hard to say who did the hacking,” the president said in an interview with CBS “Face the Nation.” “[It] could have been China, could have been a lot of different groups.” REUTERS

Tornadoes ripped through an East Texas county on Saturday evening, killing at least four people and injuring dozens of others, and authorities warned the number of casualties could rise. Three tornadoes were confirmed by the U.S. National Weather Service in Canton, a city about 60 miles east of Dallas in Van Zandt County. The winds flipped over cars, snapped trees, destroyed houses and left roads

strewn with debris and fallen power lines, according to photographs and video published by the Dallas Morning News.

“We have at least four fatalities,” Canton Mayor Lou Ann Everett said at a news conference on Sunday, adding that number could rise. “The damage was extensive in the affected area. It is heartbreaking and upsetting.” So far, 49 people had been treated for injuries, she said. REUTERS

UPS AIR MAINTENANCE THREATEN TO STRIKE

A union representing 1,200 U.S. air maintenance workers at United Parcel Service Inc. turned up pressure on the company on Sunday to settle a three-year contract dispute, saying it would seek clearance to strike. The union is taking its grievances directly to UPS shareholders, running as an advertisement an open letter to David Abney, the company’s chief executive, ahead of a

Thursday shareholders meeting.

The letter, which has been delivered to board members, was signed by nearly 78 percent of members of Local 2727 of the Teamsters union, asking the company to maintain air mechanics’ current health plan and not demand other concessions. “We’re not willing to back off of this and we will strike over it,” said Tim Boyle, the local president.

Leaders of all faiths should unite in renouncing religious extremism and counter the “barbarity of those who foment hatred and violence,” Pope Francis said on Friday at the start of a two-day visit to Cairo. “Let us say once more a firm and clear ‘No!’ to every form of violence, vengeance and hatred carried out in the name of religion or in the name of God,” the pope told

a peace conference at Egypt’s highest Islamic authority, AlAzhar. Francis’ trip, aimed at improving ties between Muslims and Roman Catholics, comes three weeks after Islamic State suicide bombers killed at least 45 people in two Egyptian churches. REUTERS

Draft could return to Philly soon Why not hold it here every year?

EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

The NFL draft in Philadelphia put the city’s love for football on display this past weekend. And Ron Jaworski, who led the Eagles to an NFC championship in 1980, was one of the key cogs in bringing the event to the Art Museum.

Ask anyone who checked out the gigantic undertaking on Ben Franklin Parkway and you’ll get generally beaming reviews.

“I have pride because it’s Philadelphia,” Jaworski said, minutes after walking off the stage after helping announce Philly’s 43rd overall selection of Sidney Jones. “This is where I make my home.

There were skeptics when we decided to bring the draft to Philadelphia, and I was not one of them. I believed the passion of the sports fans in this town.

I believed they would support it. I believed a partnership with the city, the NFL and the visitors convention bureau would be a huge success, and it’s obvious after the past few nights.”

Upward of 200,000 fans are estimated to have spent time inside the NFL Draft Experience area over the first two days alone — at the foot of a gargantuan stage at the foot of the “Rocky Steps.”

With so much effort put into design, construction and marketing, it would make sense for the event to come back again, right?

“Philadelphia once again has raised the bar,” Jaworski said. “I think the fact that it played out so well, the commissioner, who I have spent a lot of time with, now

NFL fans take pictures of the stage structure as it is being built. ALL IMAGES CHARLES MOSTOLLER

believes there is a really good chance there is an option to bring the draft back here next year. The business community is thrilled. There will be a $100 million impact.”

Analysts on NFL Network’s draft broadcast echoed the same sentient, with Mike Mayock proclaiming, “Chicago got two years, why can’t Philly?”

Precedent suggests Philly will be a favorite for the 2018 extravaganza as after a bevy of years in New York City, the draft was in Chicago for consecutive years in 2015

and 2016.

“This city has to be incredibly proud of themselves,” Jaws said. “It’s going to move, we know that. It left New York to go to Chicago. They did a

great job, but Philadelphia took it to another level.

“There are 23 other cities that want to get involved in getting the draft, but we aren’t scared of competition.”

You saw where Donald Trump was on Saturday night. He skipped the traditional jocular ribbing of the black-tie White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton.

Instead, he chose the deep adulation of a ball-capsand-work-boots crowd at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

During the campaign, he’d called Harrisburg “just rotting … just a war zone.” This time, he called the city “a wonderful, beautiful” place. And 9,000 people roared their approval.

We all need affection, just not as much as Donald Trump does. At 102 days and counting, he has chosen a dicey way to get it: by isolating himself from criticism of any sort, even the humorous kind, and then watching way too much “Fox & Friends.” As he put it Saturday night while the Washington media swells partied on without him: “CNN and MSNBC are fake news,” and the media in general are “a disgrace … incompetent, dishonest people.”

The media’s latest sin? Pointing out that the touchy president has failed to achieve his Obamacare repeal, his tax overhaul, his Muslim ban, his sanctuary city cutoff or any other major legislation. Why listen to talk like that when you can

gather another round of swing-state applause. The people in Harrisburg certainly obliged, even breaking into fresh rounds of “Lock her up! Lock her up!” — just for old times’ sake.

You’d think that Barack Obama, the biracial kid whose father abandoned him, would be the one with an oversized need for adult approval. But no.

That title falls squarely on the privileged white boy whose father was a real estate mogul.

You could argue that Trump won the Battle of the Cable News Split Screens on Saturday. In a down-home showdown, it’s easy to beat Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on C-SPAN, squeezed like gray-haired sausages into black tuxedos. But it also helps sometimes to laugh at yourself. At the Washington Hilton, “Daily Show” correspondent Hasan Minhaj was busy working the Trump-less ballroom.

“Who is tweeting at 3 a.m. sober?” he marveled.

“Donald Trump, because it’s 10 a.m. in Russia.

Those are business hours! … Now that a professional wrestler is our president, anything is possible. ‘Anything is possible’ used to have a positive connotation.”

The jokes weren’t bad, but the person who should have been laughing was 120 miles away.

Why 67-year-old PETA president is getting naked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are we so obsessed with bacon,â&#x20AC;? the president of PETA asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and not obsessed with saving the lives of smart and sensitive animals?â&#x20AC;?

KIMBERLY M. AQUILINA @KimESTAqui kimberly.aquilina@metro.us

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals launched an eye-popping ad campaign against the Bacon and Beer Classic, which was April 29 and 30 at Citi Field in Queens.

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, 67, spoke to us about baring her body on billboards in an attempt to convince festivalgoers to go vegan.

The billboards will ap-

pear in six phone kiosks in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. PETAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s billboard truck circled the Metsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stadium Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

Tell us about the new ad campaign.

I love pigs, not dead but alive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve rescued many, many pigs here at PETA, including helping somebody get pigs off a

slaughter truck within minutes of them arriving at the slaughterhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rescuing them and having them now jump and run in the fields, sleep under the stars, bathe in a pond and enjoy strawberries.

[Laughs] I just wish people all knew that pigs are like us. They are flesh and blood, which is one of the reasons I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll strip and hang next

to these pigs.â&#x20AC;? You can see my flesh is the same color and just like their flesh.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all flesh and blood.

And we all value freedom.

We all feel pain. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to die â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to die badly, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stood in slaughterhouses, and the way they die is very badly. They scream, they struggle, they try to turn around and go the other way. They know what is ahead of them because they have a keen sense of smell.

PETA has done other nude campaigns. Was this a natural progression for you to strip down?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pushing 70 now.

When I was younger, I used to do â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Furâ&#x20AC;? demonstrations all over the world, but I thought it would be important not to have this sexual in any way. And now, of course, there is nothing sexual about me, so I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want it to be a body. I want people to see the bodies and try to make the connection.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done [ads] where you talk about the body parts the loin and the chops, the shoulder of pork; I have a shoulder. I have loins. I have ribs. You have standing rib roast. I have those.

Please, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shocked by this, be more shocked at what we put these wonderful individuals through just for a fleeting taste of what? Bacon. Why are we so obsessed with bacon?

And not obsessed with saving the lives of smart and sensitive animals that are like our dogs?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like our kids; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like people we know. [Pigs] think things through, solve puzzles.

They enjoy relaxing.

They grieve. They fall in love. Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that our obsession? To close the slaughterhouses and not decide which bourbon to have when eating part of their rotting flesh?

Your will states that you want your body to be

barbecued when you die, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that right?

Back when people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know what veggie dogs were â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy them in the store â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we used to get veggie dogs and fry onions in a wok, and people would love the smell and come over. They would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are they? What are they made of?â&#x20AC;? and we would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made of plants,â&#x20AC;? and people, especially men, would go, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ew, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to eat that.â&#x20AC;?

[Laughs] Well, the ones next door are made of the decomposing corpses of slaughtered animals!

You want those instead?

It taught me that if you cook onions, people come over. [Laughs] I thought it would be really a hoot, because I have no use of my body when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dead.

If we cooked that up with onions and people would come over, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh what is that?â&#x20AC;? and [the cooks] would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her!â&#x20AC;? and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ewww!â&#x20AC;? [The cooks] would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a volunteer. The ones at the next-door stand arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t volunteers.â&#x20AC;?

No oďŹ&#x20AC;ense, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not coming to your barbecue.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good! [Laughs] Part of my liver is going to France to protest foie gras â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they force-feed ducks to get a swollen liver for foie gras and pate.

Any last thoughts for Metro readers?

One thing we do is we show people the gory bits because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reality, but then we try to help make change easy so the whole theme is just try vegan. You may love it. Your arteries will love it. The animals will love it, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a clear conscience.

Textalyzer tech would know when a driver in an accident was distracted at the wheel A prototype of the “Textalyzer” was recently unveiled to New York legislators.

KRISTIN TOUSSAINT @kristindakota

kristin.toussaint@metro.us

If you drink and drive and get into an accident, you’d probably take a breathalyzer test so police can measure your level of intoxication.

But if you were texting behind the wheel instead, how would an officer prove that you were breaking the law?

Some say phone records or a warrant to check the driver’s device would work, but Ben Lieberman, an activist against distracted driving, knows those methods aren’t enough.

That’s why he joined forces with Cellebrite, a

Like a breathalyzer that can prove if someone was

drinking, the Textalyzer will evaluate the driver’s phone to see if they were using it in the moments before an accident.

Lieberman has been fighting against what he calls the “distracted driving epidemic” since 2011

attorney involved.”

The Textalyzer would fill these gaps, Lieberman said, because it connects to the driver’s phone at the scene of the crash to detect immediately if there was recent activity.

Some have opposed the technology, citing privacy concerns, but Lieberman asserted that the phone would never leave the owner’s hand to be accessed by police and that the Textalyzer “can’t get at any personal content.”

Legislation pending in New York would allow police to use this technology at — and only at — crash scenes. Once the product is on the market, Lieberman hopes it continues to spread across the country.

“What is right here in front of us is we have a law against texting and driving. We have that law,” he said. “The important thing we’re trying to do here is reinforce the law already in place.”

His son was sitting in the backseat and wearing his seat belt when an oncoming driver drifted across the lane, hitting the vehicle head on.

The driver told police

they had fallen asleep.

Half a year later, Lieberman got the truth: The driver had been texting.

“What we found out is that there is no police protocol when a crash happens [because of texting],” he said. “After a crash, they say the cause is being investigated, but people don’t realize that doesn’t really include the phone.”

It took Lieberman six months to get that driver’s phone records. Those still paint a limited picture because they don’t show anything internetrelated, like email, Facebook or Snapchat activity.

“It only gives you a small percent of what’s there. Not only [are phone records] difficult to get, but they are actually obsolete,” he said.

Iran’s leader rebuffs Rouhani’s detente policy ahead of vote

White House: Trump invites Philippines’ Rodrigio Duterte to Washington President Donald Trump invited Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House during a phone call on Saturday that also addressed concerns over North Korea, the White House said in a statement.

The White House gave no details of when the leaders would meet in Washington to discuss their alliance, but said Trump looked forward to visiting the Philippines in November as part of two summits with other Asian nations. REUTERS

Patrick is a real patient.

BROKEN NECK FIXED. TRAINING RESTORED.

Active and fit, the former two-sport NCAA athlete and veteran broke his neck in a diving accident. Fortunately, he was taken to Jefferson Health, where our specialists used traction and a halo brace to align his broken bones – allowing him to heal. Without surgery, Patrick’s back in action.

That’s freedom restored.

Iranians should not thank President Hassan Rouhani’s policy of detente with the West for any reduction in the threat of war, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday, stepping up his criticisms of the president as elections approach.

In comments that appeared to favor hardline candidates in the May 19 vote, Khamenei played down the benefits of Rouhani’s landmark agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear activities in return for a lifting of international sanctions.

“Some say since they took office the shadow of war has been faded away. This is not correct,” Khamenei was quoted as saying by state media.

“It’s been people’s presence in the political scene that has removed the shadow of war from the country.”

Khamenei and his hard-line supporters have also criticized the nuclear deal — which stiffled talk by Washington of possible military action against Iran — for failing to deliver promised economic benefits.

But speaking at the opening of a refinery that Iran says will make it selfsufficient in oil products, Rouhani defended his position.

“The nuclear deal was a national achievement.

We should make use of its advantages. But some have started a fight over it,” Rouhani said. He cited the new refinery, in the Persian Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas, as

a result of the deal and “interaction with the world.”

One of Rouhani’s main challengers, Ebrahim Raisi, an influential cleric with decades of experience in the hard-line judiciary, said Iran had no need of foreign help to improve the economy and could always defend itself.

“We should not warn our people of wars and crises. We have full security in the country,” Raisi said in a recorded address on state television.

“This approach, that we should wait for foreign investment and for foreigners to resolve our issues, is wrong.

“This is wrong, to wait years and years for foreign investors to come …

We should resolve issues by relying on domestic capabilities,” Raisi said in comments that echoed those previously made by Khamenei, Iran’s highest authority.

Rouhani has said Iran needs foreign capital to modernize its oil and gas, transportation and telecommunication sectors after decades of international isolation.

However, foreign investors are still cautious about trading with or investing in Iran, fearing penalties from remaining unilateral U.S. sanctions and President Donald Trump’s tough rhetoric on the Islamic Republic.

This has caused long delays in contracts that Iran seeks with international firms to develop its oil and gas fields.

South Korea: US reaffirms funds for anti-missle system; Trump calls Asian allies Major elements of the advanced Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system were moved into the planned site in Seonjgu, in the south of the country, this week.

South Korea said the United States had reaffirmed it would shoulder the cost of deploying the THAAD anti-missile system, days after President Donald Trump said Seoul should pay for the $1 billion battery designed to defend against North Korea.

In a telephone call on Sunday, Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, reassured his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, that the U.S. alliance with South Korea was its top priority in the Asia-Pacific region, the South’s presidential office said.

The conversation followed another North Korean missile test launch on Saturday which Washington and Seoul said was unsuccessful, but which drew widespread international condemnation.

Trump, asked about his message to North Korea after the latest missile test, told reporters, “You’ll soon find out,” but did not elaborate on what the U.S. response would be.

Trump is stepping up outreach to allies in Asia to discuss the North Korean nuclear threat and make sure all are “on the same page” if action was needed, a top White House official said. The president will discuss North Korea with the leaders of Thailand and Singapore on Sunday after speaking with the Philippines’ president on Saturday.

“There is nothing

right now facing this country and facing the region that is a bigger threat than what is happening in North Korea,” White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told ABC’s “This Week.”

Trump’s comments in an interview with Reuters on Thursday that he wanted Seoul to pay for the THAAD deployment perplexed South Koreans and raised questions about his commitment to the two countries’ alliance.

South Korean officials responded that the cost was for Washington to bear, under the bilateral agreement.

“National security adviser H.R. McMaster explained that the recent statements by President Trump were made in a general context, in line with the U.S. public expectations on defense cost burden-sharing with allies,” South Korea’s Blue House said in a statement, adding that McMaster requested the call.

The deployment has drawn protests from China, which says the powerful radar which can penetrate its territory will undermine regional security, and from local residents worried they will be a target for North Korean missiles.

About 300 residents rallied on Sunday as two U.S. Army trucks tried to enter the THAAD deployment site. Video provided by villagers showed protesters blocking the road with a car and chanting slogans such as “Don’t lie to us! Go back to your country!”

Police said they had sent about 800 officers to the site and two residents were injured during clashes with them.

South Korea and the United States say the sole purpose of THAAD is to guard against North Korean missiles. REUTERS

French voters are skeptical Macron, Le Pen have answers percent. But the momentum has recently been with Le Pen, who has clawed back about 5 percentage points over the past week.

According to the Ifop poll, 45 percent of voters believe the two finalists would not put an end to unemployment, which has for years stood close to 10 percent in France. And 36 percent say neither candidate is able to protect France from attacks.

France has been under a state of emergency since 2015 and has suffered a spate of Islamist militant attacks mostly perpetrated by young men who grew up in France and Belgium.

More than 230 people

A week before a decisive second round in Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential election, many voters are skeptical that either of the two candidates can solve chronic unemployment or tackle security concerns, a poll published on Sunday found.

The Ifop survey for the Journal du Dimanche highlights two key battlegrounds as centrist presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen enter a final week of campaigning, expected to focus on Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and borders.

Polls predict Macron, a former economy minister, will win the May 7 runoff with about 59-60

Days before the April 23 first round, a French policeman was shot dead and two others were wounded in central Paris in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.

The outcome of the runoff will depend to a large extent on floating voters and potentially high levels of abstention.

In the first round, 22.2 percent of voters abstained: The highest percentage since 2002 when Marine Le Penâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Jean-Marie, surged into the second round only to be defeated overwhelmingly by conservative Jacques Chirac.

France returns to the polls in June to select members of the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, where a majority is needed to push through government policies.

Both Macron, who launched a new party a year ago, and Le Pen, whose National Front has only two seats in the National Assembly, have faced questions about their ability to build a parliamentary majority.

Le Pen said on Saturday defeated rightwing candidate Nicolas Dupont-Aignan would be her prime minister if she wins.

Macron received support on Sunday from Jean-Louis Borloo, a previous leader of the UDI, a small centrist party, but has yet to say who he would ask to lead a government. REUTERS

Leonardo DiCaprio marched for climate change with a manila folder for a sign Leonardo DiCaprio joined protestors at the People’s Climate March in Washington, D.C., this weekend to remind everyone that when he’s not boinking 25-year-old models, he does really care about the environment.

The 42-year-old actor reportedly marched alongside people indigenous to both North and South America. He carried a sign that said “Climate Change is real,” written on the back of a manila filing folder.

Because, of course he did.

Dicaprio, who whined his way into winning an Academy Award, used his acceptance speech at the 2016 Oscars to draw attention to environmental activism.

“Making ‘The Revenant’ was about man’s relationship with the natural world, a world that we collectively

felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history,” he said.

When DiCaprio isn’t proving how passionate he is about climate change, he’s

after their exorbitant wedding ceremony.

This is Wilson’s first child, and Ciara’s second — she shares 2-year-old Future Jr. with rapper Future.

Whose real name is not Future, by the way.

Let’s briefly consider a world where children are named after their parents’ stage names.

We could be living in a world with a Sir Mixa-Lot IV, or a Vanilla Ice Jr. Which would be both delightful and legitimately insane.

Anyway, congratulations on that baby!

Ken Marino gives some bad advice The actor says you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to the tips in his film â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Be a Latin Lover.â&#x20AC;?

MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

Sadly, Ken Marino isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Be a Latin Lover.â&#x20AC;? But he did direct it. The prolific comic actor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an alum of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Party Downâ&#x20AC;? and his own sexy fireman show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burning Love,â&#x20AC;? among countless others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stays behind the camera on the new comedy, a vehicle for actor Eugenio Derbez, whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instructions Not Includedâ&#x20AC;? became the highest grossing Mexican film of all time in the U.S. back in 2013. Derbez plays a gold digger whose old, rich wife dumps him after 25 years. So he goes scouting for a second one, all while giving his young nephew (Raphael

Alejandro) terrible, terrible advice.

So what did you learn about being a Latin lover, being yourself an Italian-American?

Well, if I was taking tips from this movie, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be getting the wrong tips. I guess you can learn how to do a little sexy walk.

Have a lot of confidence.

But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of bad advice thrown out in the movie.

You directed this but did not act in it. What is your directorial style?

Are you incredibly dictatorial?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the actors look me in the eye. If they do, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fired immediately. And I usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear pants.

That should keep them on their toes. Do you yell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not funny!â&#x20AC;? if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being funny?

I just yell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again!â&#x20AC;? very loudly until they get it.

here in the States arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with him. The hope for this movie is to get more people to know him. Because he certainly is a comic force.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she gets as many chances to do comedy as I certainly want her to have. Because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented on top of being so beautiful.

And sadly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to see Salma Hayek, who plays Derbezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, do comedy.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so good at it!

Is that intimidating, directing someone so beautiful?

See, I thought you were going to ask it the other way around: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was it hard for her to look at me and my beauty?â&#x20AC;?

And the answer is, no it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard for her at all, because she clearly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intimidated nor did she think I was particularly beautiful.

We have to wrap this up.

It was a pleasure, Matt.

And I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to each other long enough for me to say this: I love you.

Ken Marino is seen on set directing star Eugenio Derbez in â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Be a Latin Lover,â&#x20AC;? now in theaters. CLAUDETTE BARIUS, PANTELION FILMS

The director Samuel Fuller used to shoot a gun when he began a take.

I did something very similar: I would set people on fire at the end of a take. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take it to another level.

Sam, he did that already.

So what are you going to do?

I have to admit I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Eugenio Derbez before â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instructions Not Included.â&#x20AC;? I felt very stupid and out of the loop.

A lot of people

I love you, too. I feel like you made this movie only so I could tell you how much I love you.

Maybe I did.

The best movies coming to Netflix in May From “Forrest Gump” to “Inglourious Basterds,” here are your best streaming picks this month.

MATT PRIGGE “FORREST GUMP” (MAY 1)

“HAPPY FEET” (MAY 1)

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

We’re in the minority about this one: We find Robert Zemeckis’ Oscar-gobbling paean to stupidity kind of stupid, as well as retrograde.

At heart, it’s a conservative diss on all things progressive and ’60s. Hippies, yippies, Black Panthers, the SDS — all are depicted as cruel and scary, especially in the face of sweet and dumb Tom Hanks. But again, we know we’re in the minority.

“THE BREAK-UP” (MAY 16)

Here’s a weird fact: That dancing, singing penguin movie — and its less-loved 2011 sequel — was made by the guy who made all the “Mad Max” films. You can thank the megasuccess of this kiddie film for ensuring director George Miller could go make the brilliant twohour car chase that was “Fury Road.” Maybe weirdest of all: “Happy Feet” is actually pretty good.

WARNER BROS. PICTURES

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

The best part of this 2006 comedy is that they really break up. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn — who enjoyed their time playing a split-up couple so much that they briefly became one in real life — duke it out as successful New Yorkers who duel over which one should take their swanky apartment. And remember when Vaughn still made good comedies? This will make you wish he had yet another comeback.

“INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS” (MAY 22)

Quentin Tarantino’s epic slab of revisionist World War II history ends with Brad Pitt carving a swastika into a Nazi’s head, then proclaiming, “This might be my masterpiece.”

We’d argue this is Tarantino’s masterpiece — a fragmented and compulsively gripping war romp with untold killer scenes, all building to a part where Jewish soldiers get to kill Hitler themselves and then shoot him in his dead, ugly face. If dreams don’t always come true in real life, at least they can in the movies.

The Celebration of Black Arts returns to Philadelphia in its 33rd year for a monthlong festival, honoring literary, film, vi-

sual and performing arts by local and nationally recognized black artists.

What started as the Celebration of Black Writing, the festival is indicative to the progress black art has made in the community and in the United States. However, talking with Coretta Scott King Award winner Bryan Collier and Art Sanctuary’s Executive Director

Your living room could use some new art — buy from local artists.

Valerie Gay, it’s clear that black art still has far to go.

Collier is known for his work as a children’s book illustrator, including “Freedom River”

by Doreen Rappaport, “Rosa” by Nikki Giovanni and “Uptown.” Born and raised in the countryside of Maryland, access to literature was much different than what it is

now. “In Maryland, we had a book mobile,” he reminisces. “There were no stores in Maryland in the country in the ’70s.”

But what sparked his desire to become an illustrator was what happened two days after he graduated from art school. “I was in Barnes & Noble in Manhattan and I looked around and I said, ‘Wow, there are no

people of color in these books.’ It hit me: Maybe I should make a book.”

He pitched to publishing houses weekly for seven years before he got his first offer. Collier persevered, and is now one of the most revered illustrators in the industry. He looked back at his pursuit with fondness, noting that he “was enthralled with the world

I was discovering.” However, he sees the literary industry today as much less glamorous.

“We’ve got a long way to go in mainstream houses publishing people of color,” he says. “It feels like not enough books are out there.” Collier attributes an antiquated approach to marketing by mainstream publishing houses. “A business

According to an annual report by Fireside Fiction in 2016, of 2,039 stories published in 63 magazines in 2015, 38 were by black writers.

Black fiction is not only not being published, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being written â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and ultimately, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being submitted. If black children arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reading, particularly stories that resonate with a common voice or face, then they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t writing, which means they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t publishing, which means black stories are largely unavailable. Art Sanc-

tuaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration of Black Arts is a requisite platform for exposure to black art that breaks that vicious cycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether as individuals or organizations, we can expand our reach as black artists by supporting each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, extending ourselves beyond our own communities to join with allies,â&#x20AC;? says Valerie Gay, execu-

22 THINGS TO DO

Making the most of Philly Tech Week With 100 core events, planning ahead is key.

JENNIFER LOGUE @jenniferlogue

jennifer.logue@metro.us

Philly Tech Week, a celebration of technology and innovation in Greater Philadelphia, kicked off Friday for its seventh year. With highlights like the Mayoral Tech Town Hall With Mayor Jim Kenney today, a day-long Future of Digital Marketing conference Tuesday and a Q&A with Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday, taking part is a no-brainer, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the tech industry.

Attendees can choose from 100 events throughout the week, which are organized into seven tracks: media, business, creative, civic, dev, sciences and access. The best part: Several events are free

to attend, as long as you register. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown the number and types of organizations that take part and retain the groups,â&#x20AC;? says PTW co-founder, journalist Christopher Wink.

Why software developer jobs are in demand Developers aren’t simply coding in i solitude lit d — they th actually t ll spendd quite it a lot l t off time ti interacting i t ti with ith clients li t andd endd users. ISTOCK

Learn about the various roles of this creative profession.

SARA FEINSTEIN @SaraBFeinstein

sara.feinstein@metro.us

We tend to imagine software developers as hermits sitting in a dark room coding all day, but the reality is actually very different.

“They are people, people — they’re not the geeks and nerds that it used to be, couldn’t communicate with human beings. At least, not the successful ones,” says Dick Wilkins, a professor of computer science at Thomas College in Maine.

In fact, the best software developers have strong communication skills and are wellequipped to interact with clients. After all, screen time is only one small part of the process.

We spoke to Wilkins to find out more about the profession.

What does a software developer do?

In the simplest of terms, their main role is to solve problems, says Wilkins.

“The slightly more expanded version of that is understanding the needs of customers and clients, and then producing highquality, reliable computer programs that can facilitate the customer in being successful at whatever they’re trying to do.”

But knowing the syn-

tax of a computer language, writing code and getting it to produce an executable program is only a minor part of the process.

“It turns out that a software developer actually spends only 10 to 20 percent of their time producing computer programs and probably 80 percent of their time understanding the problem, getting a design in place, figuring how it’s all going to work, testing it, and then working with the clients to make sure that it actually meets their needs once it’s been developed,” says Wilkins.

What schooling do you need?

A four-year college degree is not an absolute requirement but it is important, says Wilkins.

In fact, he suggests that anyone looking to enter the technology field acquire a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

“It can carry into any kind of job, from information technology and dat-center management, to computer architecture and design — from one end of the gamut to the other,” he says.

Those who are looking to succeed as basic software developers, however, can learn a majority of these skills by taking technology-programming-style courses through adult-education programs, at a four-yearcollege or even online, says Wilkins.

What’s the typical salary?

The median annual salary for software developers was $106,860 in May 2016, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. The best-paid 10 percent in the profession made $163,220, while the lowest-paid 10 percent made $64,650.

Is it hard to find employment?

Not at all. “Programmers are in demand everywhere,” he says. “Were also in the process of entering one of those turnover periods where a lot of people who became programmers back in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s are all retiring, so a lot of jobs are opening up.”

Aside from that, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 17 percent employment growth between 2014 and 2024, during which an estimated 186,600 jobs will open up.

The pros One of the biggest perks of the job is getting to be creative in the way that you design programs, says Wilkins. “And when you see that exciting new website or feature work or you see the robot do something really physically interesting, that gives you quite a strong feeling of satisfaction,” he says.

It’s also a stimulating job in that it’s not overly repetitive. “You’re not doing the same thing over and over again. It’s

constantly new, exciting, and challenging— which helps keep your mind active.”

The cons Getting a computer system to do what you

want it to do can be challenging. “They seem to have a mind of their own at times, and just refuse to help you,” he says.

“There’s also an incredible pressure to

deliver high-quality programs in shorter and shorter time periods,” Wilkins continues.

“That pressure can get to you after a while and make it feel like there’s never enough time.”

Grading the Eagles’ 2017 draft

The Eagles grabbed Washington cornerback Sidney Jones in Round 2. GETTY IMAGES

The Birds doubledipped at two key positions.

LUKE MILLER @LukeFM7

sports@metro.us

The Eagles’ first draft with the complete team of Howie Roseman, Joe Douglas and Doug

Pederson is in the books.

Afterward, we may have a better idea of what the team will emphasize while building their draft board, and what they will not. The Eagles had eight picks and drafted eight players, but not all selections came at their original spot. The team made three trades during the draft, all on

the third day. In case you missed it, here are their selections:

Round 4, Pick 118: Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina

Round 1, Pick 14: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

Round 4, Pick 132: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State

Round 2, Pick 43: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington Round 3, Pick 99: Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia

Round 5, Pick 166: Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia Round 5, Pick 184: Nathan Gerry, LB, Nebraska Round 6, Pick 214: Elijah Qualls, DT, Washington The Eagles double dipped in two ways: selecting two wide receivers and cornerbacks, positions hailed as their greatest needs at the start of the off-season, and by selecting two players from both West Virginia and Washington. Let’s check out the corners.

While we said the final verdict on the 2015 draft would always come down to the success of Carson Wentz, the same could be applied to 2016 and Sidney Jones’ ability to recover from the Achilles injury he suffered at his pro day.

Before that injury, he could easily have been the Eagles’ pick at No. 14, and may have fought

Marshon Lattimore for the chance to be the first cornerback off the board.

Now, the team will have to wait until probably October to see Jones get on the field. Even then, without an off-season practicing, it may be foolish to expect much from Jones in 2016. But this is easily the Eagles most accomplished draft pick at cornerback since Lito Sheppard was taken in the first round in 2002.

17

RASUL DOUGLAS WAS THE 17TH CB IN THE FIRST 99 PICKS OF THE DRAFT TO BE CHOSEN Rasul Douglas, their next pick, should be ready to start competing with the team’s current cornerback corps from day one. Douglas was the 17th corner to come off the board in the first 99 picks of the draft. Four corners went in the nine selections before the Eagles took Douglas, so they probably felt some added pressure to grab a corner who could con-

tribute immediately. Part of the 99th pick should be evaluated with the addition of Timmy Jernigan in mind. The Eagles dropped back from 74th to get Jernigan from the Ravens. At that spot fan favorite targets Fabian Moreau, Chris Godwin and Kareem Hunt would still have been in play.

A theme throughout the draft was the Eagles emphasizing production and tape over combine warriors when given the choice.

Derek Barnett, their first round selection, broke Reggie White’s career sack record at Tennessee, but had an unremarkable combine. Douglas has impressive physical measurables: standing at 6-foot-2, but didn’t impress with his 40 or vertical. He did have eight interceptions in 2016 alone, however.

Donnel Pumphrey, the only running back the Eagles left the draft with, is the new FBS career rushing yardage leader after gaining 6,405 rushing and 1,039 receiving yards at San Diego State. He also weighs in at 176 pounds and stands 5 feet 8 inches tall. His size is leading to a lot of Darren Sproles comparisons, but that’s perhaps not the most effective one. Pumphrey didn’t handle very much return work at all in college (and his plate was rather full, with 1,059 career carries) so anything he might do there is a projection. Sproles also has a more compact build: at his combine, he weighed in at 187 pounds despite being 2 inches shorter than Pumphrey. He also completed 23 bench press reps compared to Pumphrey’s five.

Their two new receivers, Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson, turn that perception on its head a bit. Both have deep speed, though Gibson was victim of an apparent equipment malfunction adding to his combine 40 time. At his pro day, he ran a 4.39.

Both averaged over 20 yards per reception for their careers, though neither saw a huge volume of receptions. Hollins is 6-foot-4.

Arizona Cardinals are now ‘Temple South’ Former Temple coach Bruce Arians drafted Haason Reddick.

KYLE PHILLIPPI @Kyle_Phillippi sports@metro.us

There wasn’t a better story coming into the NFL Draft than that of Haason Reddick and his rapid climb up draft boards.

His story, which went from Camden to a walkon at Temple to a potential mid-round draft prospect to the No. 13 pick on Thursday, added yet another feel-good moment to it when Temple’s very own Bruce Arians became his NFL head coach.

“To play for a fellow Temple guy, that’s special,” Reddick said. “How many people coming from this draft can say they’re going to play for a fellow alum? It’s going to be really special.”

Arians, who coached the Owls during the ’80s, reportedly fell in love with Reddick throughout

He goes to a team that sees him under a grand light. After announcing the selection, Arians told the assembled media at the team’s facilities that he reminds him of, arguably, the best linebacker in football, Von Miller.

As always, though, Reddick won’t let the outside noise impact anything he does. Whether its being looked down on as he was coming out of high school or being viewed as the next big thing in the NFL like Arians sees him to be, the South Jersey native is just going to maintain his surgical-like focus.

“I never saw this coming,” Reddick said. “I always worked hard without setting in every word, I never thought what could come out of it until my junior year in college and I put in even more work my senior year.

Now that I’m here and I finally got my name on a card, it’s still sinking in.

I’m being overwhelmed with emotion.”

If there’s one thing that’ll make this transition as easy as possible for him, it’ll be the calming influence that is Arians, who certainly will be doing all he can to make sure the Temple kid is in the best position to succeed from Day 1.

Mixed feelings for new defensive end Barnett Some Eagles fans loved the Birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round pick, many did not.

EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

Derek Barnett is the newest Philadelphia Eagle.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a talented passrusher from Tennessee and will join Fletcher Cox as a centerpiece of the Birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; potent attack on the quarterback.

After being selected in front of more than 70,000 fans at the Philadelphia Art Museum, Barnett had many fans, and many detractors too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad pick,â&#x20AC;?

South Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cody Berry, who waited in front of the stage for seven hours to get in the front row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be nice to go with [Brandon] Graham at the outside and probably was the best available pick.â&#x20AC;?

University Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neil Galauski was a little more timid about the choice, but was still excited about the newest member of the Eagles defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed pass rush, I love it,â&#x20AC;? Galauski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He broke Reggie Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

sack record in college. It was a vanilla pick. I kind of assumed it was going to happen.â&#x20AC;?

The makings were in place for Philly to nab a top defensive prospect, after an unexpected early rush on offense left players like Reuben Foster, Jonathan Allen and Barnett ripe for the taking.

But Keith Howard, an Eagles fan who traveled to Philadelphia from New Orleans to watch his favorite team select a player

was not nearly as satisfied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went in the wrong direction I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it, man,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reuben Foster, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who I wanted. They do the same thing every year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just frustrating.

They could have taken [RB] Dalvin Cook too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This guy better come in and get 10 sacks this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graham all over again. We have to stop making picks like this.â&#x20AC;?

Barnett is excited to be an Eagle despite the well-

known criticism heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll no doubt experience in his career in Philly. He says he has the mental toughness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; paired with the physical skills that made Eagles scouts compare him to Terrell Suggs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to succeed here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did a lot of studying.â&#x20AC;? Barnett said shortly after getting drafted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my edge.

I have to get an advantage mentally, and I feel like throughout my career thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did.â&#x20AC;?

Aries If someone uses force on you, respond with intelligence to outsmart him or her.

You will have the upper hand as long as you don’t let your emotions take control.

Libra Emotional tension will mount if you prematurely try to address issues with a partner. Take a moment to weigh all sides of a situation before commenting.

Taurus Refuse to let anyone bully you or talk you into taking on something that will infringe on time you should be spending more productively. Learn to say no.

Scorpio Show your emotions physically. Your actions will make a difference when dealing with situations that require less talk and more action. Follow your gut.

Gemini Look for the best deal, idea or project, and get moving. Actively following your dream will lead to greater confidence and success.

Sagittarius Gauge whether your emotions are to blame for your frivolous feelings or impulsive actions. Rein in temptation until you fully understand your motive.

Cancer Play it safe and avoid being sorry. You may not agree with what others do or say, but interfering or starting up a conversation that will end in controversy is best avoided.

Capricorn Set a steady pace with a destination in sight. Stick to your plan, budget and timeline. Implement a diet and exercise plan into your daily routine. Be a leader.

Leo You can be creative, but if you don’t let the world see what you can do, you won’t get ahead. Step up to the podium and present what you have to offer.

Aquarius Collaborate with others and combine old and new ideas. Use your skills and experience in order to excel. Financial gain looks promising.

Virgo Choose to be practical. Don’t let your emotions prompt you to spend rashly or invest in something that isn’t realistic. A snap decision will be costly.

Pisces Take care of your responsibilities. Be helpful, but not at your expense. If someone wants something, consider why and what’s in it for you. EUGENIA LAST
