PARENTS OF UK BABY AGREE TO LET HIM DIE

ISRAEL TO REPLACE METAL DETECTORS IN JERUSALEM

The parents of Charlie Gard tearfully gave up their legal battle to keep their terminally ill baby alive on Monday, saying his condition had deteriorated too far for any possible recovery, in a case they said had touched the world. The parents said their 11-month-old son might have been able to live normally if he had received experimental U.S. treatment earlier but too much time had been

“wasted.” “We have decided to let our son go,” his mother Connie Yates told London’s High Court, where a judge had been due to hear final arguments as to why a hospital should not turn off life support. “Charlie did have a real chance of getting better. Now we will never know what would have happened if he got treatment.”

Israel on Tuesday decided to remove metal detectors it had placed at the entrance to a holy site in Jerusalem’s Old City with other, less obtrusive surveillance means, a cabinet statement said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet voted to remove the metal detector gates after a meeting lasting several hours convening for a second time on Monday after they had broken off discussions

a day earlier. Tensions escalated sharply since Israel installed the metal detectors at entry points to Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem after two police guards were shot dead by gunmen there on July 14.

KUSHNER DENIES COLLUSION

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser, told Senate investigators on Monday he had met with Russian officials four times last year but said he did not collude with Moscow to influence the 2016 U.S. election. A businessman like Trump, Kushner portrayed himself as new to politics when he became a top adviser to Trump’s campaign.

A man charged in Texas with transporting unauthorized immigrants in a stifling truck told investigators he had no idea that they were inside until he stopped and found dozens of dead and dehydrated people in the back, court papers showed on Monday. James Matthew Bradley Jr., 60, was arrested on Sunday and could face the death penalty after authorities found eight men dead in the

back of his tractor trailer truck parked outside a Walmart store in San Antonio. Scores of other immigrants, including children, suffering from dehydration and heat stroke, were also inside. Two of them later died after being hospitalized, bringing the death toll to 10. One of the immigrants aboard later described to investigators unbearable conditions inside the crowded, pitch-black interior.

Amazon.com Inc. plans to meet on Wednesday with a dozen U.S. ranchers, seeking to expand distribution of organic and grass-fed meats as it takes over Whole Foods Market Inc., according to the meeting’s organizer. Analysts and investors have speculated that Amazon is aiming to combine its expertise in order fulfillment with the grocer’s facilities to build out delivery of fresh food, but the online retailer

has not yet detailed its plans. Amazon visited Georgia grassfed meat producer White Oak Pastures in March, 2½ months before announcing the $13.7 billion Whole Foods takeover, to discuss a possible distribution deal, White Oak owner Will Harris told Reuters. The retailer later asked the farmer to invite other U.S. livestock producers to discuss distribution of organic and grass-fed meat, Harris said.

NJ rehab center changing how we heal from addiction WRITTEN BY

Amy Smith For individuals and families finding their way through addiction recovery, achieving long-term sobriety is the ultimate goal. But when you’re at the starting point, this can feel like a huge, intimidating prospect. Enter addiction rehabilitation programs, which dramatically up the odds of sober success. Instead of navigating through recovery alone, the right program provides reliable support and an abundance of resources in a safe space. But the challenge is switching people out of the mindset that recovery is an overnight process, or something that can

be “cured.” It’s rather a lifelong disease that people can effectively manage if given the right tools. For many who are struggling with addiction, attending weekly support meetings on their own simply isn’t enough to trigger deep, long-lasting change and introspection. Seabrook House, a New Jersey-based addiction rehab center, is driven by this truth. Their long-term residential (LTR) program was designed specifically for individuals and families who are ready to get on the path to sobriety, but don’t know how. “Our LTR program really pushes people to dig deep, get vulnerable, and do the work,” says Elizabeth Verdi, director of the program. “Our goal is to really prepare residents for the transition from rehab back to their everyday lives. This means zeroing

in on why they use in the first place, pinpointing triggers, and replacing the destructive coping strategies that got them addicted.”

to 12 months, is built on a six-phase system that’s dedicated to helping people grow as individuals and live their best sober lives. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach to recovery, they break down individualized treatment plans into six bite-sized phases for residents to work through before returning to their everyday lives.

Verdi points to a key piece of the puzzle - feeling prepared for the transition from rehab to home. People who are chronically relapsing on their own are the ones who benefit the most from Seabrook House’s LTR program. The reasons behind relapse are different for each person, but mental health issues and cooccurring disorders and/ or addictions often play a role. The program’s team of skilled and compassionate therapists know this and take a multi-tiered approach when tackling the complexities of addiction. Seabrook House’s LTR program, which typically lasts anywhere from three

Each one has its own clinical focus that builds on the one before: stability, introspection, family, vocation, life skills, and transition. To “graduate” to the next phase, residents must do the therapeutic work and then present it to their therapist. This phase work, as it’s called, is customized and tailored to each individual. All the while, residents are meeting both individually and in groups to maximize their efforts. Seabrook

House also offers a variety of holistic services, like yoga, meditation and acupuncture, to encourage healing the whole being: mind, body and soul. The idea is to replace negative coping behaviors (drugs and alcohol) with healthy ones residents can reach for when out in the real world. Seabrook House is a celebrated private rehab center located about 90 minutes from New York City in Bridgeton, New Jersey. They also operate four neighboring outpatient facilities, as

well as its LTR programs for men and women. The organization also helps facilitate family interventions—or, as they lovingly call them, carefrontations. Each one is individually designed and carefully coached for every step of the process. The idea is to heal the family unit through loving kindness, with the guidance of a trained family interventionist.

lice officers involved in last week’s shooting of a man who allegedly aimed a gun at police officers while he was being sought for an attempted murder. Law enforcement officials said four police officers were involved in the Thursday, July 19, shooting of attempted murder suspect Jose LeBron, 37, of Kensington. There were also three SEPTA officers involved in the shooting as well, police said. According to police, the shooting happened after 7:33 p.m. on Thursday, when officers responded to a call of a shooting along the 400 block of East Somerset Street. Officers arriving on the scene found a 48-year-old woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck and, police said, she was transported to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. Shortly after officers arrived, police said, LeBron exited a home along the block while holding a firearm. In a confrontation with officers, law enforcement officials said, LeBron “was alternately pointing the firearm at his head and pointing it at officers arriving on the shooting scene.” When he didn’t respond to demands to drop

his weapon — as could be seen in body-cam footage of the incident — police opened fire, striking LeBron in his right shoulder and both legs. He was taken to Temple University Hospital, where police said he was listed in stable condition. LeBron was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, gun violations and related charges. Also, police said that his firearm was recovered at the scene and no officers or bystanders were injured in the shooting. The police department identified the officers involved in this incident as Harry Taylor, a 19-year veteran assigned to the 8th District, Brian Mitchell, a 10-year veteran assigned to the 24th District, Anthony Nicoletti, a four-year veteran assigned to the 25th District, and Francis Rafferty, a 19-year veteran assigned to the 8th District. The three SEPTA police officers involved in the incident are also all on administrative duty, officials said. They are Peter Sieron, a seven-year veteran of the SEPTA Transit Police Department, Timothy Butler, another seven-year veteran, and Kevin Dougherty, currently in his first year on the force.

Congressman proposes ban on government use of Trump hotels A Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives proposed legislation on Monday to bar the U.S. government from renting rooms at President Donald Trump’s hotels for official business. “Donald Trump should not be allowed to line his or his family’s pockets with taxpayer dollars,” Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia said in a statement. He said the amendments he was introducing to a spending bill were necessary because of the Republican president’s “unprecedented failure to divest from his business, and the ongoing entanglement between the Trump Organization and the White House.” Republicans control the

House and the Senate. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last month, the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit alleging that government payments to Trump’s businesses violated the U.S. Constitution. REUTERS

Can President Trump pardon himself? Nope, top legal experts have now said Three of the nation’s top constitutional law and White House ethics experts, and a member of the House Judiciary during Watergate, point to precedent dating back centuries.

MICHAEL MARTIN @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

After last week’s New York Times report last week that President Trump was asking his legal team about his ability to pardon

his associates, his family and himself, the question arose: Could Trump personally escape charges in the Russia investigation with an unprecedented self-pardon? The argument: The Constitution’s section on presidential

pardons doesn’t explicitly say that he can’t. The president himself tweeted, “While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us.

FAKE NEWS.” But agreement couldn’t be further than universal. And over the weekend, several significant opinions and one precedent emerged stating that presidential pardon power is the opposite of complete — and that the Constitution is clear that the president can’t pardon himself.

“The Constitution specifically bars the president from using the pardon power to prevent his own impeachment and removal,” said a trio including the nation’s top constitutional scholar and two top White House ethics experts — Harvard constitutional law professor Lawrence Tribe, former Bush White House ethics chief Richard Painter, and former Obama White House ethics chief Norm Eisen — in a Washington Post op-ed on Friday. Their main argument: “Any official removed through impeachment remains fully subject to criminal prosecution.

That provision would make no sense if the president could pardon himself. … Self-pardon under this rubric is impossible.” The trio added there isn’t a single case in history when a self-pardon was revealed to be legitimate, going back to a 1610 case that is the foundation of the AngloAmerican legal tradition against self-dealing. A recently uncovered 1974 memo produced by the Office of Legal Counsel during the Watergate investigation warned President Richard Nixon that there was a “fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, and the president cannot pardon himself.” Elizabeth Holtzman, a former New York congresswoman who served on the House Judiciary Committee during Watergate, agreed in her own Washington Post piece. Her argument: During the Constitutional Convention, an amendment specifying that a president could not grant pardons in cases of treason — with the intent to discourage presidents from committing treason — was knocked down as unnecessary because a president guilty of that crime would be impeached and prosecuted. “The Constitution specifically provides for ‘indictment, trial . . . and punishment’ of a president under the criminal laws, in addition to impeachment,” she wrote. On Sunday, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow and communications director Anthony Scaramucci denied that the president had asked about his pardon power.

3-2-1 CONTACT Make no mistake: For months, Team Trump insisted there were no meetings with Russians during the presidential campaign. No one tied to the president shared a bowl of borscht with some guy named Boris. No one hovered over a herring casserole with Helga. And absolutely no one discussed any plans the Russians might have for meddling in the election. To borrow from the “Wizard of Oz,” “Not nobody, not no how!” But now a big question mark hangs over those denials, because it turns out there were meetings. The latest revelations are tied to President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Kushner says he met with Russians twice during the election, and twice during the transition, and he insists it was always proper. “Let me be clear,” he said, “I did not collude with Russia, nor do I know anyone with the campaign who did.” This, of course,

this subtle yet meaningful shift go sailing by — from never had contact to never colluded. Why? Because the White House has made a cottage industry of beating the holy heck out of anyone who has dared to even ask about the possibility of such meetings. “Russia talk is fake news put out by the Dems” and “a total scam!” the president has tweeted. “Did you or anyone in your campaign have any contact with Russia leading up to or during the campaign?” he was asked in January. “No. Not at all,” he scoffed.

Now we know there were meetings with Russians during the campaign, despite all those months of denials. Some of the closest members of the president’s team attended, and they are saying so. And you can bet the president’s opponents are hoping he pays a real price for all his howls of “fake news!”

Martin Shkreli, the pharmaceutical entrepreneur vilified as the “pharma bro” for raising the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000 percent, said on Monday in federal court that he would not testify in his securities fraud trial. Shkreli’s statement to U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto came after jurors had been dismissed for the day in the middle of testimony from U.S. prosecutors’ last witness in the case, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent who investigated Shkreli.

“natural herbs coffee” actually had some potent ingredients omitted from the label. Most prominently, the lab for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found the product contained desmethyl carbodenafil, which the FDA reports is structurally similar to the active ingredient, sildenafil, found in Viagra. Though

customers buying a coffee marketed for “male enhancement” might be happily surprised by the outcome of a cup or two with this hidden ingredient, there are real risks. This unlisted ingredient could potentially interact with some prescription drugs that treat various disorders like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease and more.

Sean Spicer is out and there’s a new game in town: Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci will be taking over as the communications director for the Trump administration. The name might sound new to you, but the 52-year-old had been standing in as a surrogate for Trump for a while on cable news shows and he’s been vying for a position in the Trump administration since before Trump even took office. People had been predicting an end to Sean Spicer’s tenure as press secretary for months, but it wasn’t until Friday that President Donald Trump made his intentions for the communications office clear. Spicer’s deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will now serve as press secretary and Scaramucci will take on a more supervisory role.

Here’s a look a Trump’s new go-to guy. Anthony Scaramucci worked in finance. Scaramucci is a financier who got his start at Goldman Sachs after graduating Harvard Law School. He spent more than a decade on Wall Street and eventually started his own hedge fund, SkyBridge Capital, in 2005. He earned early fame writing books about his experiences. His hedge fund was reportedly worth billions. Anthony Scaramucci rose through the financial ranks of New York and developed his own hedge fund, which had been estimated to be worth as much as $11.8 billion. In January, Scaramucci divested from his company in hopes of being offered a job within the Trump administration. Scaramucci has no political experience. Scaramucci has

had no formal experience in managing communications, but even though he wasn’t initially in the Trump camp, he eventually proved his loyalty and has served as a stand-in for Trump. His loyalties vary. Scaramucci hasn’t had traditional experience as a politician, and as a private citizen, he has supported ev-

eryone from Trump to Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton. Generally, Scaramucci has been a political supporter, but he didn’t always get behind Donald Trump. Initially, Scaramucci supported Republican candidate Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. He later supported Jeb Bush before throwing his support behind Donald Trump. ERIN TIERNAN

At a Comic-Con panel on Saturday, “The Simpsons� creators Matt Groening and Al Jean answered questions from fans, plugged a DVD release and made a bunch of political news. When asked by an audience member if there was anyone that the celebrity-cameo-friendly show had turned down, Jean replied: “Let’s just say he’s the president of the United States.� Trump wasn’t the only political roastee during the panel. Groening and Jean also revealed that the Fox network asked them to ease up on a Fox News joke that they were “not

Charlize Theron doesn’t know a Tia Mowry

What’s a Tia Mowry?

METRO.US TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2017

For more features stories, visit metro.us

Charlize Theron — “Atomic Blonde” star and dreamy, ass-kicking babe — has heard about that Tia Mowry rumor. And it’s pretty clear that she doesn’t even know what a Tia Mowry is. The 41-year-old reacted to an old rumor that she was rude to Mowry after a run-in at SoulCycle on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” because, of course. In 2014, the um, “Sister, Sister” star allegedly told InTouch that Theron snubbed her, big time. “I said, ‘Hi,’ and she actually rolled her eyes and said, ‘Oh my God.’ … Charlize was just

mean.” When Cohen asks the “Mad Max: Fury Road” star about the run in, it’s pretty clear that Theron has no f—s to give. “I’m not an eye-roller,” she says. “But I would be like, ‘F—k off.’” Same! Also, SoulCycle is the worst, and none of this would have happened if all celebrities were more dedicated to being couch potatoes and less dedicated to living their best, healthiest lives.

A Hilary Duff Whodunit Hilary Duff’s Los Angeles home was robbed, with hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property stolen, and I’m wondering which one of y’all did it?

TMZ reports that someone broke into the “Younger” star’s home Wednesday, July 19 while Duff, 29, was on vacation. Like, really on vacation. So on vacation that she

Scott Disick isn’t a sex addict Did Scott Disick refer to himself as a sex addict in an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians?” Yes, yes, he did. But now he’s saying that you guys are being rude by calling him a sex addict because, I don’t know, he lost his mind in Cannes when he was dry humping Bella Thorne in front of the paparazzi? “I would say I think it’s a little rude that everybody keeps addressing me as a sex addict,” Disick told E! News over the weekend. “I just like

sex, but I’m not a sex addict. I said that in a humorous, joking fashion on the show and now I’m getting billed as one, and it’s not the case. I do like sex, but I am not an addict.” Oh, fantastic. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Disick! The 34-year-old father of three also noted that his sexual appetite is super-healthy. “A gargantuan appetite, but not an addict!” Who knew Disick knew the word “gargantuan”?!

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez have birthdays within three days of each other. So, naturally, they’re celebrating together and making a very big deal out of it! All the Leo talk is very annoying and very classic them. Lopez turned 48 on Monday, and Rodriguez will be 42 come Thursday. And it’s incredibly special, OK!? “Their birthdays are both this week and they spent the weekend celebrating in Miami with friends and family,” a Lopez source tells People. “They have almost been together for six months now, but Jen says it feels like longer. She is very happy —

shared plenty of photos of said vacation on her Instagram — which

is likely what tipped Aaron Carter, I mean, the robbers off. Burglaries are very in this year — it’s basically like “Bling Ring” all over again. Celebrities have to get smarter in the digital age, probably. There has to be a way where you can post pictures of what you’re doing, but also throw Aaron Carters, I mean, thieves, off of your trail.

Tell me who did it.

J.Lo & A.Rod celebrate their birthdays Classic them. INSTAGRAM/@JLO

Alex takes great care of her. … Things are easy and fun.” Also their love is still one for the ages! “They are really into each other ,and A-Rod constantly tells her how amazing she looks and is. She is

super-happy being with him ,and the kids really love him,” adds a friend of Lopez’s. Neat-o! Happy birthday, both of you! You’re doing great ignoring those infidelity rumors, keep at it!

Joe Mande’s special touches on a great variety of things, from “Shark Tank� pitches to Jewish summer camp. NETFLIX

RACHAEL VAUGHAN CLEMMONS @rachaelclemz

rachael.clemmons@metro.us

Joe Mande’s Netflix special, “Joe Mande’s Award-Winning Comedy Special,� probably won’t win any awards, but it is certainly a unique take on stand-up. The show has elements of stand-up and sketch comedy sprinkled with observational and cringeworthy humor. “I don’t want anything I do to ever feel stale,� says the 34-year-old, perhaps best known for buying 1 million followers from an Eastern European bot lord. Some of the jokes in the special are admittedly on the lazy side — surely comedians have exhausted every take on morning wood by now — but one thing is for sure:

The comedian is pretty entertaining to chat with. We talked to Mande about getting blocked by Russell Crowe, joking about ISIS and how Trump’s America is basically like living in Mordor from “Lord of the Rings.� You do stand-up, you write for “The Good Place� and you’re an actor. You’re doing a lot.

You can put actor in quotation marks. You’re described on Wikipedia as a comedian, a writer and an internet troll. What’s it like to be a professional internet troll? I’m not! That keeps getting erased, so there’s just this one person that keeps defacing my Wikipedia page, and now

this person — I’m assuming it’s a he — found some sort of citation. Whatever. My whole attitude about that sort of thing when I get upset is Antarctica’s melting, so who cares what my Wikipedia

GETTY

Is the “professional troll� bit just because you bought a million followers from a European bot lord? Or because you’ve been blocked and unfollowed by the likes of Russell Crowe and Jessica Alba? I sort of gravitate to getting into fights with people online. But I was a little bit more unhinged a few years ago. I used to get a thrill

out of getting blocked by people and stuff, so I get it. But it’s annoying that that’s my biography. In the show, you talk about your love for ISIS videos and their highquality production. Aren’t you scared the government is coming for you? Nothing’s happened yet. I’ve sort of had the same “whatever� attitude, I’ve just been assuming the government has been monitoring me. I used to just on the regs send pictures of d— to Newt Gingrich or Mitch McConnell [on Twitter]. So I assume I’m just on a bunch of lists. Besides, you don’t have to dig very deep to find ISIS videos. That joke ended up working [for the special] but the first 20 times I did it, I’ve never had a joke bomb harder. People were so uncomfortable and I was essentially defending ISIS. So it took me a while to figure out what the actual joke was.

How Charlize Theron became an action goddess

Oh my God, does Charlize Theron bring the pain in “Atomic Blonde.” ALL PHOTOS JONATHAN PRIME

The Oscar-winner kicks all the butt in “Atomic Bride.” Don’t be surprised. MATT PRIGGE @mattprigge

matt.prigge@metro.us

In “Atomic Blonde,” Charlize Theron smashes a guy in the face with a hot plate. She pummels a baddie silly with the heel of her shoe. It’s Charlize as we’ve never seen her: as a full-on, knock-down, drag-out action goddess. And given the chance, she puts all of her “Fate of the Furious” cast members

to shame — well, maybe not Jason Statham. Thing is, this isn’t that surprising. Theron’s done action before — or appeared in action movies, we should say. “Mad Max: Fury Road” was only two years ago. Granted, as vengeful savior Furiosa, she didn’t get much of a chance to lob hurtin’ bombs; she was mostly behind the wheel, driving, with steely determination, a monster of a truck across the Australian Outback. But when she got the chance to do more — say, go mano-emano with Tom Hardy’s Mad Max 2.0 — she brought the pain. Hell,

Furiosa tore off the main villain’s mouth. Action movies have largely confined Theron to the sides. Even as the villain of “The Fate of the Furious,” she spends most of her time in front of computers, away from the gravity- and sciencedefying mayhem. But she always looks driven. In “The Italian Job,” her first action movie, all the dudes are thrillseekers, jokesters, boys who will be boys. But her character is serious, laser-focused, out to get the monster (Edward Norton) who killed her father (Donald Sutherland). Adding worse to worse, Theron’s also a dancer. She can move — and “Atomic Blonde” is proof of it, and how. But there’s a deeper reason “Atomic Blonde” Charlize isn’t a shock: Theron is a shape-shifter. Poring over her filmography, it’s clear she’s changed directions as quickly as Lorraine, her MI6 bruise in “Atomic Blonde,” can take out a roomful of minions. First she was yet another model-turned-actress. Then she revealed she

FILM could be funny. Then she turned into a serious, Oscar-winning thespian. Then she morphed into a hero in dumb wouldbe-blockbusters. Then, at the Hollywood-old age of 37, it turned out she could be a to-die-for villain as well. And now, lo and behold, she’s a fast and furious action star now, too. In other words, Charl-

ize contains multitudes. She’s a renaissance woman, a more respectable Max Fischer, always adding new talents to her résumé. If we can play armchair psychologist, we’d like to think what drives her is the need to defy low expectations. Yes, she started out as a model who wanted to act. Theron must have known that

Don’t underestimate Charlize when she’s dolled up.

she’d be seen as a cliché, a statistic, bound for failure. We’d like to think, when she arrived in Hollywood, she stared at the sign affixed to Mount Lee and thought, “I’ll show them.” And she did. Then she got older — by Hollywood standards. By the time she wound up as the aging, bitter villain in “Snow White and the Huntsman,” terrorizing the new class of Hollywood female royalty (Kristen Stewart), she wasn’t even yet 40. You can see the rage at a system that was already putting her out to pasture. But you can also sense pride. She steals “Snow White and the Hunstman” (and its dopey sequel), vamping regally, purring threats and insults, wielding her anger like one of the proton packs from “Ghostbusters” and firing it anyone who would doubt her. The role tells us what “Atomic Blonde” says in spades: Never underestimate Charlize. Otherwise, you’ll get a champagne bottle broken in your eye.

When you think of hummus in Philly, chances are you immediately think of Michael Solomonov meccas like Zahav and Dizengoff. When I saw Hummusology take over Cake and the Beanstalk’s spot last year, I have to admit, I dismissed it, thinking no other hummus could stand up to the established Philly hummus royalty. I was also pretty sad to see Cake and the Beanstalk go. (I have a notorious sweet tooth, and its flourless chocolate cake was my everything). However, time heals all wounds, and thanks to the magical powers of Instagram, I began to take note of how exquisitely put-together Hummusology’s platters were. It was time to bury the hatchet (or in this case, a fork) and give it a try. The space is cozy and inviting with plenty of light coming in from the garden outside. The menu has a plethora of

options (more than I thought possible) but I went for the Vegetables Rave ($12), one of their most popular dishes. The hummus is made on the spot and this particular dish is topped with roasted vegetables (mine had gorgeous red peppers, eggplant and sweet potato!) paprika, cumin, olive oil, green sauce and an adorable dollop of tahini. As if this wasn’t enough, you get freshbaked pita bread (whole wheat or white flour) and a side salad. While I can easily fin-

ish my whole meal at Dizengoff without being too full, here you’ll want to take leftovers home with you. It’s supergenerous with toppings, which makes for a really satisfying meal that can be stretched into an additional snack. Overall, I’d definitely go again, as everything on the menu looked delicious. (the Hamshuka, $12) is next on my list — topped with Shakshuka and chickpeas! Oh, and then there’s the Wicked Hummus from the West ($11) which comes with a hard-boiled egg).

Out of curiosity, I had to ask Hummusology owner Tal Ben about how it feels like to open a hummus restaurant in a Solomonov-loving city, and he’s got nothing but love for his fellow hummus masters. “We have great respect for other hummus restaurants,” he says. “We think there’s plenty of room for everyone in Philadelphia. Each place brings its own charm. We are glad to see people in Philadelphia embrace hummus.” Hummusology is located at 1112 Locust St.

What to eat to make the most of the season and also, what to avoid. KATE MOONEY @yatinbrooklyn

Summer is a time to wander farmer’s markets, have picnics in the park and relax at barbecues. What do all three of those activities have in common? Eating. While everybody knows burgers and hot dogs aren’t the best for you, when it comes to other culinary options we associate with the summer, making the healthiest choice isn’t always as obvious. Kayleen St. John, executive director of nutrition at Euphebe, suggests her favorite summer produce and tells us what “healthy� summertime foods we’d do better to avoid. Seasonal produce “I love any fresh green in the summer for a light-feeling salad,� says St. John. The next time you’re at the farmer’s market, explore the bounty of leafy greens — whatever’s fresh and local will have more

antioxidants, she says. St. John also goes for radishes, which are antioxidant-rich, Vitamin C powerhouses. And don’t toss the radish greens — you can chop them up to add to a salad, or sautee with garlic and olive oil for a veggie side. Fruit-wise, cherries

are a summer treat that are also high in potassium and can help alleviate bloat. St. John loves summer zucchinis because their high water content makes them a hydrating choice for the summer. She recommends making a zucchini gazpacho, blending the vegetable with onion, olive oil, cashews, basil and lemon juice, served chilled.

Go easy on the juice “A fruit or veggie juice may seem like a ‘light’ lunch option come summertime, but these juices can be a downfall,� she explains. They won’t fill you up and they could cause a blood sugar/insulin spike.

Eagles rookies starting to feel love, heat from Philly fans The Eagles’ youngest players know exactly what fans expect from them in Philadelphia. EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

There’s no doubt the college football fans are a passionate bunch. And the Eagles incoming rookies — all of whom reported to training camp Monday as the 2017 summer schedule officially kicked off — have played in front of passionate fans before. But in the pressurecooker that is Philadelphia, the media spotlight can take it’s toll on talented players (like it did with Nelson Agholor last season). And the fans are not shy to voice their support or displeasure. “They’re very pas-

sionate,” running back Donnell Pumphrey said, who spent his break at home in Southern California with his daughter. “On social media you can see that they’re very passionate. I see posts every day. It’s nice to have those type of fans behind you.” Philadelphians will famously support a team like no other when it’s doing well, and give it hell like no other when it’s down. They demand success and won’t stand for lack of effort or production. And even though the Birds have yet to play a game with Pumphrey and the team’s other rookies on the field yet, they are starting to recognize who they play for. “Philly fans are kind of crazier than West Virginia fans, it doesn’t matter what you say,” Rasul Douglas, a rookie cornerback, said Mon-

day. “I can say ‘I am at my grandma’s house’ they’ll be like ‘why aren’t you working out?’ I can’t get a day off ? They want this city to be great, they want a lot from us and we have to be able to do it.” The Eagles have never won a Super Bowl — a simple fact that likely looms in the back of minds of Eagles fans all across the Delaware Valley and South Jersey. And in the Eagles’ players too. “We’ve been in the hotel a lot,” rookie wide receiver Mack Hollins said. “We haven’t really ventured out but from what I’ve seen we have some diehard fans. I think there’s nothing better than fans who get mad at you when you make mistakes, they wouldn’t be saying stuff if they didn’t care. They want to win and win the Super Bowl. I am all about it.”

Mack Hollins is learning, fast, what it takes to play professional football in Philadelphia.

The Eagles No. 1 overall pick Derek Barnett is an even-keeled kind of guy and one who keeps his true thoughts and emotions close to his chest. His mentality

when it comes to dealing with Philly fan pressure may be the smartest of all. “I don’t feel any pressure for myself but I have very high expecta-

CHARLES MOSTOLLER

tions for myself,” the highly-skilled pass-rusher said. “I am the biggest critic for myself. I have high expectations and I am very excited for the season.”

Eagles’ veterans McGloin, Wisniewski share leadership roles, Penn State connection as teammates once again The football gods seem to insist that Matt McGloin and Stephen Wisniewski cross paths on the gridiron. The two were among the last recruited players under Joe Paterno’s Penn State regime and played together during a very important stage in the history of the Nittany Lion program. They played together in Oakland after each started an NFL career, and this spring were reunited for a third time back in Pennsylvania with the Eagles. After playing one full season with the Eagles as a backup and starter, Wisniewski said he wanted to find a place to both start and remain for a long period of time. Whether or not he ascends to start in a deep, crowded

offensive line group remains to be seen, but he did sign a three-year deal this past offseason. McGloin started a few games last season in Oakland after Derek Carr’s late-season injury derailed an impressive season. He signed a one-year deal and will serve as a third-stringer and potential mentor for Carson Wentz, sharing back up duties with Nick Foles. “It’s a very healthy quarterback room with Nick and Carson,” McGloin said Monday after his first day of training camp in South Philly, “and an opportunity to work with [quarterbacks coach] John DeFilippo again and [offensive coordinator] Frank Reich and [head coach] Doug [Pederson]. It’s a quarterback heavy

Matt McGloin will likely start the year at No. 3 on the depth chart.

staff.” “I think it’s important you have that veteran presence, veteran quarterback as a backup,” Pederson said. “Obviously I was there at one point in my career. I think it’s just a valuable guy. Matt McGloin who is a veteran quarterback who has played in this league.” For McGloin, having one of his old college buddies — and one of the best offensive linemen in Nittany Lions history to share a locker room with — is certainly a plus as he returns to the state that made him who he is today. “I played with Wiz at Penn State, I took snaps from him,” McGloin said. “I played with Wiz in Oakland and took

some snaps with him this year in OTAs and minicamp. It’s a bonus to play with him. That guy, he’s a really smart person, a great guy and football player.” The pair were able to wear their Penn State pride loudly last fall, as they watched their college team return to national prominence as they nearly shocked USC in a shootout at the Rose Bowl, a 52-49 Trojan victory. McGloin is optimistic about next season with many key players coming back. “It’s great to see where the program is at,” the quarterback said. “It’s great to see those kids buying into what [PSU head coach] James Franklin has in store for them. I am looking forward to 2017.” EVAN MACY

Carson Wentz returned to training camp rested and enthusiastic Monday morning after four weeks o.

CHARLES MOSTOLLER

EAGLES WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IF ... Great anticipation accompanies the opening of Eagles camp this week. Will Carson Wentz take that giant step in his second season? Can LeGarrette Blount repeat in South Philly what he did in New England last year? Is Doug Pederson a playoff-caliber coach? Will Lane Johnson stay clean? My early thoughts on those: Yes. No. I fear not. And absolutely — unless he’s the world’s dumbest human. But those are just educated guesses. Predicting the future in the NFL is a fool’s errand, or the Atlanta Falcons wouldn’t have had an over/under of 7½ wins going into last season. So I can’t guarantee today the Eagles will win the NFC East for the first time since 2013. But I’ll promise you we’ll have clarity by Oct. 12. That’s the date of their sixth game, and the finish of a hellish early schedule. Improved as the Eagles may be, a septet of tough contests threatens to bury their season before the leaves have turned. Here is what the Birds face to open the year: At Washington, at Kansas City, home vs. the Giants, at the LA Chargers,

THE SPORTS PROFESSOR

GLEN MACNOW @RealGlenMacnow

home vs. Arizona, at Carolina. There’s not a layup in the bunch. Other than the Giants game, there may not be one where the Eagles are favored, even if they are a vastly improved club. The Eagles face three of their first four games on the road. Let’s examine those: They open at Washington, where they’ve lost five straight. The Chiefs in Week 2 will be tough, with the likelihood that Andy Reid is stinging from a likely opening loss at New England. The relocated Chargers may not be a contender, but the Eagles are 2-7 on West Coast since 2009. Oh, and that game in Carolina? It’s a Thursday night affair. Road teams went 6-12 on Thursday nights last season, and haven’t topped .500 since 2009. Things finally lighten up after that, with three straight home games – Washington, the Niners

and the Broncos. I’m not here to whine about the schedule, and I doubt Doug Pederson will either. I’m just reporting that it’s a tough draw. By my figuring, the Eagles must start at 3-3 to remain contenders. Don’t expect the Cowboys or Giants to roll over. Can they do it? Sure. Even if Washington has dominated the series recently, that franchise had a hideous offseason. So let’s project an opening victory for the good guys. I’ll also pencil in a win against the Giants on Week 3. We’ve seen Bad Eli more than Good Eli in recent years — his QB rating has topped 82.0 just twice in the last eight matchups. Put Little Brother down for two costly INTs and say the Eagles win that one. The third win? You pick it. Maybe at the Chargers. Maybe the Cards here in Philly. As I said at the top, it’s a hazy crystal ball that forecasts the future in the NFL. But I’m fairly certain of this: If the Eagles are going to make the playoffs, they’ve got to survive those first six weeks. Come on, Doug, show us what you’ve got.

metro.us/horoscopes Aries You’ll face secretive opposition. Be careful whom you trust with your ideas and personal information. Refuse to overreact or show excessive or impulsive tendencies.

Libra Get involved with others. Attend a conference, seminar or retreat to gain greater awareness and knowledge. Taking short trips or updating your look is favored.

Taurus Avoid emotional situations that have the potential to put you in an awkward position. Social or networking events are best handled responsibly.

Scorpio Consider your vocational options. A deal you are offered will not be as good as you are led to believe. Question its terms and negotiate on your own behalf.

Gemini Changes at home will be beneficial. Take care of personal, financial, medical or legal matters. You stand to gain ground if you are detailed and energetic in your pursuits.

Sagittarius Emotional distress will occur if someone is not being honest about his or her feelings. Say what’s on your mind and move forward.

Cancer You may not like change, but accepting the inevitable will allow you to move forward even if you don’t like the prospects you are offered. The benefits will unfold in time.

Capricorn You are best off doing your own legwork when dealing with personal financial matters. Someone will offer you an inflated picture of what you can expect.

Leo Don’t put up with nonsense or situations that are dragging you down. It’s up to you to take a stand and make the changes that will bring greater joy to your life.

Aquarius Self-deception or emotional manipulation is possible if you don’t look at the big picture and ask relevant questions. Get the facts before you make a move.

Virgo Take note of what’s happening around you. Work to take advantage of an opportunity to make a positive change. Taking a business trip or attending a retreat is encouraged.

Pisces Work in unison with someone you respect or who has the same values as you. What you offer will make a difference. Changes are heading your way. EUGENIA LAST
