#1 DAILY NEWSPAPER IN CENTER CITY WEEKEND, MARCH 16-18, 201202 philadelphia

1 City Council passed a resolu-tion introduced by Council-man David Oh on Thursdayauthorizing an investigationinto prioritizing prison spacefor violent offenders andthose arrested with illegalguns and looking for alterna-tive places to house nonvio-lent and low-risk offenders.

“When we look at crimein Philadelphia, I know weneed to have long-term solu-tions, including educationand culture change, but thattakes place years from now,”Oh said. “People need solu-

tions to make streets andneighborhoods safe today.”

Housing nonviolent crimi-nals in outpatient and treat-ment facilities will free upspace to ensure that high-riskoffenders receive a speedy tri-al and aren’t given the oppor-tunity to become fugitives orcontinue committing streetcrimes as their cases are de-layed by lengthy continu-ances or as they wait to besentenced, according to Oh.

“It will let police and pros-ecutors know that there isroom to lock up violent of-

fenders,” he said. “With thecourt system right now, wearrest fellows with illegalweapons and guns, then setthem free the next day.”

The initiative will also

save money — each prisonerat a maximum security facili-ty costs taxpayers $114.86per day, while at alternativecenters, offenders are re-quired to pay their own roomand board, Oh said.

Prioritizing prison facespace for violent criminalswill also be beneficial fornonviolent offenders them-selves.

“They can receive educa-tional services and do clean-ing and greening work,” hesaid.

Goal: Find new place tohouse low-risk inmates

Council to investigate if alternative housing for nonviolent prisoners isoption to free up space Court system doesn’t prioritize properly

Gun court

Oh said the prioritization ofprison space would allowcity to conduct gun court.

“The law is set up but hasn’tbeen put into action — that’snot up to the mayor or toCity Council, it’s up to thecourt system,” Oh said. “Guncourt is one place where thejudge is familiar with gunlaws and would address allthat’s needed to prosecutesuch cases, including ballistics”

But a spokeswoman for thecity district attorney’s office,Tasha Jamerson, said thatgun court “no longer exists.”

“With the courtsystem right now,we arrest fellowswith illegalweapons and guns,then set them freethe next day.”

Homeless people received food outside City Hall Thursday prior to a public hearing.

With dozens lined up outsidethe Municipal Services Build-ing, more than 40 homelessadvocates and citizens testi-fied at a public hearing Thurs-day against a proposed cityregulation that would bangroups from feeding homelessresidents in city parks.

Under the measure, resi-dents and groups could befined for feeding people incity parks. They would insteadbe forced to take their pro-grams indoors or on privateproperty.

Another alternative wouldallow groups to serve mealson the City Hall apron for thenext year, but they would toreceive approval from two citydepartments.

The Nutter administrationsaid the regulation is aimed ataddressing health concernsand providing dignity to thehomeless.

Opponents claim the movewould only further harm analready vulnerable popula-tion.

"We all know that it soundsgood, but it's just not realis-tic," City Councilwoman Jan-nie Blackwell told the city'sHealth Board. "We're not go-ing to resolve the problem

without places for people togo."

Some characterized theregulation as a way to pushthe homeless off the tourist-friendly Benjamin FranklinParkway, which is set to opentwo new museums this year.

"We'd like to serve the citynotice right now we are notmoving," declared Brian Jenk-ins, executive director of Cho-sen 300 Ministries, whosegroup regularly providesmeals on the Parkway.

The regulation was ap-proved last month and is setfor final adoption March 22. Ifapproved, the ban would beimplemented in mid-April.

30Days residents had tooffer public comment onthe little-knownregulation. Healthofficials will vote nextThursday on themeasure banningpublicly serving food tothe homeless.

GREEN DRAININ PA. BUDGET

GREG VITALI STATE REPRESENTATIVE,D-DELAWARE COUNTY

Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget would further weaken Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection and drain funds from valuable environmental programs.

The governor’s proposed fiscal year 2012-13 budgetwould cut an additional $10.5 million dollars fromthe DEP general fund appropriation, reducing it to$124 million. The DEP state appropriation was cut$10 million last year, and its state appropriation

has been reduced by $65 million since 2006. TheDepartment cannot perform its mission reasonably with abudget below $170 million, according to former DEP secre-tary John Hanger.

There has been about a 10 percent cut in DEP personnelsince 2006. Non-union staff hasnot received a salary increase infour years. Noncompetitivesalaries combined with increasingworkloads due to these staffingcuts have made it difficult for theDEP to attract and retain qualitypeople. “We are hemorrhagingjobs to the oil and gas industry,”one former DEP senior staffer toldme.

Corbett’s budget would al-so take money from atleast three popular andsuccessful environmen-tal programs: the

Keystone Recreation, Park andConservation fund; the FarmlandPreservation program; and the Al-ternative Fuels Incentive Grandprogram. The funding from theseprograms would be transferred tothe general fund to balance hisbudget.

The governor would take $38.5 million from theKeystone fund in the Department of Conservation and Natu-ral Resources budget. This program supports Communityparks and recreation, land trust projects and state park andforest rehabilitation. The DCNR has estimated about abillion dollar backlog in state park and forest infrastructureprojects.

Corbett has proposed cuts to the DEP and these environ-mental programs while refusing to consider logical fundingsources for them. Two sources would be a reasonable sever-ance tax on Marcellus drilling and the increase in air emis-sion permitting fees proposed by the previousadministration.

To be, or not to be, a tax?That is the question in this

month’s U.S. Supreme Courtcase testing the validity of Presi-dent Barack Obama’s controver-sial healthcare system overhaul.

At issue is the money thatAmericans will have to pay start-ing in 2014 to the Internal Rev-enue Service if they fail to ob-tain medical insurance.

During his 2008 campaign,Obama promised not to raise tax-es on families earning less than$250,000. That’s the same in-come bracket where a lot of peo-ple lack health insurance.

So, as president, Obama and

his aides studiously avoided us-ing the “T-word” as they workedto persuade Congress to pass thehealthcare overhaul. Instead,they called it a “penalty.”

Now enacted, the law refersto a “penalty” that must be paidif a taxpayer fails to get coverage.

Health and Human ServicesSecretary Kathleen Sebelius saidat a recent congressional hear-ing that the payment “operatesthe same way a tax would oper-ate, but it is not, per se, a tax.”

Just last month, acting WhiteHouse budget director JeffreyZients said in a hearing that itwas not a tax. REUTERS

In a near-simultaneous an-nouncement, the Afghan Tal-iban said it was suspending nas-

cent peace talks with the UnitedStates seen as a strong chance toend the country’s decade-longconflict, blaming “shaky, erraticand vague” U.S. statements.

Karzai said as a consequenceof the weekend massacre, “in-ternational security forces haveto be taken out of Afghan vil-lage outposts and return to(larger) bases.” REUTERS

Ford suedover tanks Ford Motor Co. has beensued for allegedly sellingtrucks over a 10-year peri-od that had defective fueltank linings and for hid-ing the problem from con-sumers even as it warneddealers.

The lawsuit filedWednesday in a New Jer-sey federal court said fueltank linings on 10 E- andF-series truck modelsmade between 1999 and2008 would “separate andflake off.”

It said this would clogfuel systems with debrisand rust, causing a suddenloss of engine power andpotentially causing vehi-cles to buck or kick orsuddenly stall.

Ford in 2007 issued a“secret” technical servicebulletin to dealers advis-ing of the problem, butneither recalled the affect-ed trucks nor offered torepair them for free, thecomplaint said. REUTERS

Is the Republican partywaging a “War onWomen,” and if so, arethey winning it? The an-swers to these questions

depend on whether you per-ceive the nasty legislative bat-tle over the Obama adminis-tration’s health care mandateas one over religious liberty orwomen’s reproductive health.

Leading Republican presi-dential candidates Mitt Rom-ney and Rick Santorum say thepresident is trampling reli-gious freedom by forcing em-ployers to comply with a na-tional health care law requir-ing insurers to provide contra-ceptive services for women. ABloomberg poll releasedWednesday reports that 62 per-cent of respondents think oth-erwise. (The poll also indicatedthat Democrats aren’t actuallybenefiting from the debate.)

So just what are Repub-lican legislators doing?Following the failureto pass the controver-sial Blunt Amendment

— which would have allowedemployers to opt out of provid-ing contraception coverage if itviolated their beliefs, like, forinstance, devout mysoginists— national lawmakers largelyabandoned the issue, if not therhetoric. But at least nine Republican-led states aren’tready to move on, proposing toexpand contraception exemp-tions or moving symbolic con-demnations of the law. In Ari-zona, lawmakers take theirsupport of religious liberty astep further than others, work-ing to legalize firing workersover birth control use.

What began with falloutover the Komen foundation’snow-rescinded decision to un-fund Planned Parenthood andled to the Virginia invasive ul-trasound bill (imposing barri-ers on a woman’s choice to

abort) segued effortlessly intothe character assassination ofSandra Fluke — which hasnow devolved into attacks overthe student activist’s “rich so-cialist boyfriend” and a vaca-tion that apparently includedsome alcohol consumption.

Then on Thursday, the sto-ry grew to envelop a Senatefight over the Violence AgainstWomen Act, which providesfunding to investigate domes-tic violence, passed with bipar-tisan consensus in 1994. Con-servative activist PhyllisSchlafly says the law led to “di-vorce, breakup of marriageand hatred of men.” Republi-can Sen. Lisa Murkowski cau-tioned her party that it was “atrisk of being successfullypainted as anti-woman,” TheNew York Times reported.

Whichever sideyou sit on, it’shard not to con-nect the dotshere. Republi-

cans accuse Democrats of polit-ical point-scoring; Senate Mi-nority Leader Mitch McConnellsaid Dems were “manufactur-ing fights” over the WomenAct. (Murkowski doesn’t see itthat way. “This is too impor-tant an issue for women andmen and families that we notaddress it,” she said.)

McConnell’s argument isn’t, of course, unimaginable— U.S. politics seem to be a no-holds-barred arena. But, in re-sponse, why are Republicanlegislators playing into thisnarrative? Maybe it’s because,despite public outrage, theythink they’re the ones winningall the points. Ramesh Ponnu-ru of the National Review cer-tainly thinks so: “The issue islikely to help Republicans inthe fall, if they can keep theirwits about them,” he writes.For the current field of Repub-lican presidential candidates,that’s a very big “if.”

By, Stefan Rothler; Freelance Health Writer;

If you’re like Tom, you know how frustrating it is when you can’t “Stand Up” for yourself. Especially in the bedroom! And even though your wife tells you “its okay”— she secretly wishes you weren’t such “a softy”. For your sake and hers.

Tom’s Story:

Tom M. had a big problem. His love-life was “coming up short”. And like a lot of men his age, he had a tough time “performing” in the bedroom.

But Tom’s wife was kind. She reassured him with words like “it’s no big deal”--- but it really was. So she urged him to get some help. He took her advice…

Tom searched the web for answers, and came up with nothing but scams. Everything he tried failed. He thought about asking his doctor about that well-known “little blue pill”. But it was way too expensive (as much as $30.00 per tablet). Plus, it doesn’t work for 32% of all men who try it. And according to its warning labels you could wind up deaf, blind, or even dead! It’s just not worth the risk.

The Secret of the Adult Film Industry

And by age 60, you’re left with a fraction of the HGH you used to have. The signs of aging become impossible to ignore... narrower shoulders and more weight around the middle... thinner skin that loses elasticity... creases and wrinkles... aching joints and brittle bones... all signs that your body is gradually breaking down.

Add to that, decreased desire and ability and a loss of muscle tone that leads to a dangerous loss of agility and balance. But none of this has to happen...

Secret of The Rich and Famous

As Tom continued his research, he came across something unusual. He read that male actors in the adult film industry use something called “Herbal Virility”. Before filming, the actors would pop one of these tiny pills in their mouth--- so when the director yells “action”- there’s always plenty of it!

It’s been the secret of adult film producers for years! That’s because instead of taking a full-hour for it to work, Herbal Virility starts giving you “solid, long-lasting results” almost immediately after you take it --- no waiting!

Tom was excited to try it. After all, Herbal Virility helped thousands of men get back their confidence in the bedroom. And since its all-natural Herbal Virility is a lot safer than drugs. There are no pumps to hassle with, no embarrassing doctor visits needed and it’s surprisingly affordable. Plus, it’s based on Nobel prize-winning re-search...

Here’s How It Works:

In 1998, three scientists shared a Nobel Prize for dis-covering that the chemical compound nitric oxide (or NO) plays a vital role in widening your blood vessels so blood flows more freely... especially in the “intimate areas” of your body.

When you’re young, nitric oxide flows abundantly through your body. Unfortunately, as you grow older, your NO production starts to diminish. As a result, so does your love life. That’s why Herbal Virility is so important.

Just pop a Herbal Virility into your mouth. Its proprietary formulation has no bitter taste and dissolves quickly into your bloodstream.

Herbal Virility contains all 25 of the most potent natural male enhancement boosters on earth. It helps kick-start your body’s natural ability to produce nitric oxide on its own. So you’re ready for action when you want it --- and as often as you want it. You’ll get a “big boost” of confidence in the bedroom. And your wife will be so excited she may wake up the neighbors!

Rave Reviews Coming in Everyday

Most men, who experience Herbal Virility’s firm results, can’t get enough of it. Here’s what people are saying...

W. Pritchett II of Newport News, VA, tells us; “After I turned 52, I couldn’t get it to work. I thought my fun was over. But now, thanks to Herbal Virility I can heat things up in the bedroom anytime I want to.” Please send me another 6 month supply!”

Melissa M. of Key Largo, FL reports; “Herbal Virility saved our marriage! What a difference it made in my husband. He’s like a new man! All I can say is WOW!”.

Not Available in Stores

The demand for Herbal Virility has been overwhelming. And until now, there just wasn’t enough of it to go around. That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility are limiting its supply to newspaper and magazine readers only.

Herbal Virility is amazing. Men who try it can’t seem to get enough. But to really understand why, you have to try it for yourself. That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility asked us to “spread the word” by off ering our readers a full-month supply, at a super-discounted, “readers only” price.

Try Herbal Virility Risk-Free... with a Limited Time Money-Back Guarantee!

See for yourself. You have time to decide. Here’s our guarantee; If Herbal Virility doesn’t give you back your desire, your stamina --- and get you “interested” whenever you need it --- you won’t have to pay a dime. Either you’re absolutely thrilled with Herbal Virility… or you get back every red cent!

Jimmy CliffOne of reggae’s founding fa-thers seemed to be challenginghimself to tone down his set onWednesday night. Accompa-nied by only an acoustic gui-tarist and a drummer, thesinger wore a simple red shirtand backwards baseball cap,and for much of the set,strummed a right-handedacoustic guitar that lookedenormous on him in the left-handed position. Though thearrangement was basic, Cliff’sperformance was anything but.The 63-year-old Jamaican’shigh, elastic voice still soundsso sweet and strong. His set wasfilled with songs that spannedhis career and almost served asa testament that his catalogshould be required listening forany self-respecting songwriter.When he belted out “ManyRivers to Cross,” it was a truemoment of transcendence;when he updated his anti-warsong, “Vietnam,” by changing

the chorus to “Afghanistan,” itwas a poignant reminder thatalthough the place where we’refighting is different, the situa-tion remains the same. The on-ly complaint with this set wasthat he finished on a songcalled “One More,” where heengaged the audience in a fren-zied call-and-response that con-tinued after he left the stage.With a title like “One More”and that kind of reaction fromthe crowd, one would think itwas an obvious reason to comeback for an encore. But no suchluck.

album, “Tall Hours in the Glow-stream,” he must have realizedthat it wouldn’t be possible totop it, so he said, “I guess thatwas our last song.” Instead offeeling like a bow of defeat oran excuse of time constraints, itfelt like an acknowledgmentthat magic had happened inthe way the sing-along chorusof “Come on, baby let the riverroll” resounded.

Bands with buzzThe long lines for shows atSXSW can be a goodresource for what to seenext. And with many bandsperforming multiple times,you can always find outwhat’s worth the wait. Hereare the ones who havebeen earning enough ravereviews that I’m going totry to check them out thisweekend: Santigold, Ala-bama Shakes, I Am Oak,Henry Clay People, JohnFullbright, Capsula, TheEttes, Dent May and JDMcPherson.

SXSWONDERFUL

Fiona AppleKicking off NPR’s showcase,Fiona Apple made it easy toforget this was the same mu-sician who had an infamousonstage meltdown in 2005.Vacillating between a lowcroon and a hoarse primalscream, she spent most ofthe set hunched forwardwith her arms at her side, asif she were possessed by hersongs. Her band expertly exe-cuted the loud-to-soft and

soft-to-loud dynamic shiftsthat Apple’s songs demand.There were even a few timeswhen the band wandered in-to jam-band territory. Butwhere that can sometimesfeel frivolous, when anchor -ed by a truly commandingsinger like Apple, it works.She ended the set with aseething rendition of her1996 breakout hit,“Criminal.” If Apple truly did“need to be redeemed,” shecertainly was on this night.

Boss bySouthwestIn a disarmingly funnyand candid keynoteaddress on Thursday,Bruce Springsteentalked about the stateof modern music andshared a heartfelt his-tory of his ownjourney. For more thanan hour, he detailedpersonal politics, im-parted words ofwisdom for young mu-sicians, discussed ahost of artists across allgenres that he felt in-debted to (from theSex Pistols to Elvis) andeven revealed that hestill plays guitar in themirror. “Don’t you?” heasked the amusedcrowd of 3,000.“C’mon! You’ve gottacheck out yourmoves!”

“‘SEEKING JUSTICE’ IS AN INTENSE THRILLER... KEEPS YOU WIRED FROM START TO FINISH!”

– REX REED, NEW YORK OBSERVER

WWW.METRO.US

On most nights, Rumor andChris’ Jazz Cafe seem much far-ther apart than the block thatseparates them. At one, sweat-drenched crowds dance to elec-tronic beats; at the other, din-ers quietly appreciate classicacoustic jazz sounds.

On Friday, however, the twowill be connected by blood, asRumor hosts the hometown de-but of DJ/producer Des McMa-hon, whose father, Alan McMa-hon, has booked the music atChris’ for more than 15 years.

“I sometimes forget how

much my dad has influencedme in doing this,” says Des,currently in his last semester atAmerican University in Wash-ington, D.C. “I’m just realizingrecently how the stuff hepushed into my ears as a kid isstarting to catch up to menow.”

The most vivid example ishis recent single “UrbanChords,” which features long-time Chris’ regular Tony Miceliplaying vibraphone over aMcMahon-created beat. “I listento computer-processed music

all day long,” Des says, “sosometimes it’s nice to go backand listen to a record that mydad gave me, an old Miles DavisCD or something like that.”

As for the proud father,Alan McMahon says that heand his wife never pushedtheir sons into music, but that“when you come into ourhouse, there’s always music.”And even though his son’s mu-sic is markedly different fromhis own tastes, Alan says, “Ilove the passion that he has forwhat he’s doing.”

“THE MOST AWESOMECOMEDY OF THE YEAR!”

Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV

The PinkFloyd soundSince Pink Floyd are fromBritain, isn’t going by BritFloyd a bit like calling yourU.S.-based Aerosmith actAmerosmith? Darlington saysthe potential redundancy is al-most inherent in the structureof the original Australian PinkFloyd, which he joined in 1994,

when “one of the originalAussies had gone home toAustralia.”

“It was that whole sort ofirony about when we weretouring that there were noAustralians in it,” he says, andwhen the group splintered in2010 “we decided to go ourown way, call it the British PinkFloyd, and then we shortenedit to Brit Floyd because it’s a bitmore snappy.”

Brit Floyd may be the puresttribute band on the planet. Thegroup, who re-create the musicand live experience of PinkFloyd, broke off from anothergroup of people playing thesame songs that called them-selves Australian Pink Floyd.This seems like an uncannyecho of the split between Floydfounder Roger Waters and therest of the members who car-ried on without him.

“I suppose it would be thelogical thing to think thatwe’ve taken the tribute idea toits extreme and paid tribute tothe actual politics of Pink Floyditself,” jokes musical directorDamian Darlington.

But unlike the originalFloyd, Darlington says the divi-sion wasn’t bitter. “There’s nofeuding,” he says. “People wantto go in different directions, somyself and all the other guys inBrit Floyd who have been do-ing all the tours in North

America decided to strike offand do our own thing.”

And doing their own thingthis year means the “A Foot inthe Door” world tour, whichcelebrates the “Best of” albumthat their heroes released inNovember. The show includescareer-spanning classics like“See Emily Play,” “Wish YouWere Here,” “ComfortablyNumb” and “Learning to Fly.”

Darlington, who has re-ceived direct praise from Floydmembers David Gilmour andthe late Richard Wright, sayshis favorite song is from “TheWall,” the album that first ex-posed him to Floyd as a 10-year-old: “As a guitarist, I’dhave to say ‘ComfortablyNumb,’ because it’s one of theiconic rock ’n’ roll solos, rightup there with ‘Stairway toHeaven.’”

‘Casa de Mi Padre’Director: Matt PiedmontCast: Will Ferrell, Diego Luna, GaelGarcia Bernal, Genesis RodriguezRating: R Grade: ��In this subtitled telenovelaspoof, Will Ferrell stars as Ar-mando Alvarez — just go withit, OK? — a good-natured ranchhand on his father’s property inMexico. After his brother Raul(Luna) returns home withenough money to save the fa-ther’s estate from financial ru-in, plus a beautiful new fiancee(Rodriguez), Armando learnsthe truth behind his sibling’snew fortune: He’s in businesswith the country’s dreadeddrug lord, La Onza (GarciaBernal). Armando must man upin order to protect who and

what he values most in his life.Ferrell gets kudos for his act-

ing (extra for doing so in Span-ish!), which is always good forlaughs. The inclusion of Lunaand Bernal — two of Mexico’sbiggest stars — is a treat, andnewcomer Rodriguez is spot-onin this setting, considering herbackground is in Spanish-lan-guage soaps. Though this isn’ton par with Ferrell classics like“Anchorman” and “OldSchool,” it has its funny mo-ments. And it definitely earnsits R rating: There’s a ton of vio-lence, plus some nudity — in-cluding a good, hard look atFerrell’s tush.

‘21 Jump Street’Directors: Phil Lord, Chris MillerStars: Jonah Hill, ChanningTatumRating: R Grade: ��The big-screen comic adaptationof ’80s TV hit “21 Jump Street” isanything but consistent. Oddlyenough, it still sort of works.Led by “Superbad” star JonahHill and Channing Tatum (also

currently seen in “The Vow”),this adventure of two bumblingcops reliving high school as un-dercover narcs combinesslapstick with shootouts and carchases in what amounts to oneextravagant but groundless gagfest. While a handful of jokesand cameos refer to the old se-ries, the film’s laughs still playbig, broad and immodestly bold.

Join the fight against

kidney disease.When Genne Murphy movedback to Philadelphia, she gaveherself a weekly assignment towrite short plays inspired byoft-overlooked public spaces.

“I was using it as a way to in-teract with the city and to re-mind myself that there are sto-ries literally around every cor-ner,” she says. “I was obsessedwith the lonely places ofPhiladelphia — places thatspoke to me when I was inthem.”

As the pages mounted, she

discovered a common thread tomany of the characters: lossand addiction. By 2009 her firstfull-length play, “Hope Streetand Other Lonely Places,” wasborn, featuring five lost soulsculled from countless hours ofinventing characters to weaveinto complex, urban, lonelylandscapes.

Azuka Theatre snatched thescript up in short order, and theplay will begin previews thisweekend, marking Murphy’sfirst professional production.

Set amidst a collage of ob-jects found on Philly streetsand featuring photography byChristopher Colucci, the playpresents a series of interlockingvignettes, connecting pain andhope into both geographicaland spiritual connections.

“It’s hard for me to walkthrough Philadelphia withoutconstantly connecting to mem-ory,” says Murphy. “I grew uphere, so every street corner andtrolley is filled with both thepast and the present.”

THE WORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]

Here’s the thing: You can getaway with a few little whitelies on your résumé if you’reapplying to, say, a remote Ap-plebee’s in some God-forsakenstrip mall off the interstate.But when you are auditioningfor one of the most powerfulbrands in the entire universe,a brand that has billions ofdollars at their disposal tomake sure nothing happens totarnish their reputation, youshould probably be up frontwith anything that might biteyou on the butt later.

It seems “American Idol”contestant Jermaine Jonesdidn’t get this memo. The top12 finalist was disqualifiedfrom the show after the pow-

ers-that-be learned he’d kepthis criminal background un-der wraps, having four out-standing arrest warrants in hishome state of New Jersey anda history of using multiplefake names with cops. And soexecutive producers NigelLythgoe and Ken Warwick firedhim on national TV Wednes-day night, Donald Trump-style.

However, the drama lead-ing up to the evening (blogshave been buzzing with theJones news since The SmokingGun uncovered his unsavorypast) did nothing to boost theshow’s ratings. In fact, viewer-ship was down 5 percent fromlast week.

Checking in withsome of Hollywood’sbiggest names to seewhat they’ve been upto — in their ownwords, in 140 characters or fewer.

Debi Mazar isapartment-hunting,Sandra Bernhard is im-pressed with her im-posters, Joel McHalehas a child with animagination and Co-nan O’Brien is hungry.

Jermaine Jones, dubbed “The Gentle Giant” by host Ryan Seacrest, is maybe not so gentle.

Brand’s warrantfor his arrestNew Orleans police haveissued a warrant for Rus-sell Brand in connectionwith an incident duringwhich Brand reportedlyhurled a paparazzo’siPhone into an office win-dow, according to TMZ.The warrant is for simplecriminal damage to prop-erty, a misdemeanor. Thewebsite previously report-ed that immediately fol-lowing the incident onMonday, reps for Brandcontacted the law officeinvolved and said Brandwould pay for the damageto the window. And whileBrand has made noofficial comment on theincident, he did makelight of it on Twitter, post-ing, “Since Steve Jobs diedI cannot bear to see any-one use an iphone irrever-ently, what I did was atribute to his memory.”

JermaineJones: ‘You’refired!’

“With the cooperation of lawenforcement, we discovered informationthat left us with no choice but toeliminate one of our own from thecompetition. When you’re doing a liveshow, anything can happen.”RYAN SEACREST, ON THE FIRING OF CONTESTANT JERMAINE JONES

Newsflash: Obamais also half white!

RE: “OBAMA’S ALBATROSS: RACETO THE BOTTOM?”: Tondalaya,are you aware that the presi-dent is only 50 percentblack? How does the hatredof Obama go back to color? Itwas uneducated voters likeyourself, who based therevote on color, that providedus this idiot. The race cardshould now be pointed atyou. MARK CARRIERI, VIA E-MAIL

I think it’s simultaneously hu-morous and sad that so manyObama supporters think hisdetractors dislike himbecause he’s (half) black. Be-tween the handling of the oilspill in the Gulf, the poor useof stimulus money, our mili-tary operations in Libya andthe rising estimates of whathis national health care planwill cost, there are plenty of

reasons to be unhappy withhis administration. MICHAEL B. JUSTICE, VIA E-MAIL

Some people think Obamashould be given a secondchance because he inheriteda bad economy from Bush.As I recall, Obama promisedto fix America; but instead,after almost four full yearsin office, has made thingsworse. I’m not rich and can’tafford another four years ofObama’s wealth redistribu-tion, can you? DALTON DAVIS, VIA E-MAIL

The astute letter-writers inThursday’s letters section hitthe nail right on the head. No-body is looking at the econo-my or Iran or a health caretakeover that was ramroddedsideways and backwardsthrough Congress. No one islooking at opposition to

drilling, full backing of algaebased fuel and solar powercompanies that go bankruptafter having taxpayer hand-outs. We’re all just looking atthe color of the man whoseface is put on the U.S. flag inplace of the field of stars,flown proudly over Democrat-ic headquarters in Florida.Why don’t we just forget thenomination process and justprint out ballots that say“White Guy” and “Black Guy,”since that’s how most of theleft plan to vote anyway?FRANK DIXON, VIA E-MAIL

Health care can’tsupercede beliefsRE: “RESPECT IS EARNED, NOTTAKEN BY FORCE”: The Found-ing Fathers knew there was aneed for separation of Churchand State. That’s why ourConstitution protects the

rights of any group toworship as they please with-out government interference.The government cannot, forexample, pass a law orderinga Jewish orthodox hospital toserve pork chops in its cafete-ria because some of thepatients think they have aright to eat pork. That’s whythe new “health care” law isbeing challenged. Incidental-ly, contraception is not ahealth issue. Some individu-als try to link it to Viagra orhormone-replacement thera-py to justify their position,but these medicines restorewhat once occurred naturally.Contraception is used to pre-vent unwanted, but normal,functioning. ADELAIDE VERPONI, VIA E-MAIL

It’s interesting that many let-ters bash the Bible but neverdiscuss the Koran. People donot stone people as suggestedin the Bible but they do stone,behead and engage in honorkillings as prescribed in theKoran. Why doesn’t anyonehave the courage to talkabout that? JOHN ARSLANIAN, VIA E-MAIL

Solution to Thursday’s crossword

“Studio arts, martial arts andculinary arts are all very im-portant creative outlets forme,” says 30-year-old SouthPhiladelphia resident PaulDavis. “And they have allmeshed together in a strangeway with Kung Fu Hoagies.”

Davis and partner SteveRenzi, also 30, debuted their

food cart, Kung Fu Hoagies,last weekend in Clark Park.Offering all vegan and vegetar-ian fare — Renzi and Davisboth are vegetarians — thecart is now stationed near34th and Chestnut streets onweekdays and at Clark Park onweekends.

Davis and Renzi becamefast friends while working to-gether at Whole Foods sever-al years ago. After travelingfor a spell — Davis livedbriefly in South America andSeattle — the two reconnect-ed back in Philadelphia. Thenthey met Master Phuoc Phan,who practices a Vietnamesestyle of martial arts, and be-gan studying with him at Sev-en Mountains Spirit FirstKung Fu studio. It changedtheir lives.

“A big part of it is learninghow to focus the mind and al-low natural creativity to come

out. Master Phan also helpedus put together the menu:simple, healthy dishes,” saysDavis about the currenthoagie and noodle options,which include a Vietnamesebanh mi hoagie and sesamepeanut chicken noodles (bothvegan). “There's a strong Viet-namese food influence mixedwith our own creativity.”

Kung Fu Hoagies has a can’t-lose recipe: Martial arts,

veggie fare and good-luck dragons

Hot wheels“They are symbols for goodluck and good fortune,” saysDavis about the colorfuldragons he painted on bothsides of the cart. “And nowthe dragons symbolize goodfood.” With long, curledwhiskers and bulging eyes,they’re also quite silly. Butthen, so is the cart’s logo: ahoagie on a cutting boardbeing karate chopped.

The roundup

A fifth consecutive trip to theNCAA tournament obviouslymeans a lot to the entire Tem-ple program.

For fifth-year senior MichaelEric, it means everything. Itmeans he’ll be extending hiscareer, something he wasn’t al-ways sure would happen.

“Man, I’m excited to be play-ing, really excited,” Eric saidwith a grin last Sunday, right af-ter Temple was selected as aNo. 5 seed in this year’s NCAAtournament. “With the injuriesI’ve had, I’ve learned to takenothing for granted. I’m readyfor the tournament. Let’s go.”

Eric fractured his rightpatella last season and missedlast year’s tournament.

Eric reinjured the samepatella on Nov. 25 and woundup missing 13 games. The 6-foot-11 center is averaging 9.1points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.0blocked shots per game — andhis rebounding would haveranked second in the entire At-lantic 10, if not for the 13games he missed.

Numbers aside, he’s justthrilled to be playing.

“When you have somethingtaken away from you, it’srough,” said Eric, who hasearned his bachelor’s degree in

advertising and is pursuing hismaster’s degree in adult and or-ganizational development. “Iworked so hard to get back andthen I got hurt again. It wasn’teasy this season. I just tried towork hard, stay positive andtake it one day at a time. I’m sohappy that I’m healthy for thetournament.”

With Eric patrolling thepaint, the Owls are much moredangerous on both ends of the

court. Just ask one of his team-mates.

“Michael is a great defensiveplayer and he’ll erase shots if aguy gets by one of us,” saidguard Ramone Moore. “He alsochanges so many shots with hispresence in there. HavingMichael on the court makes usa totally different team.”

Jackson saw the journey,enjoys ‘blessed feeling’DeSean Jackson formally ac-cepted his new contractThursday afternoon in SouthPhiladelphia.

The wide receiver, who hasa love-hate relationship withthe city, started by thankingGod, then praised his family,the entire Eagles’ organizationand the fans.

“To the city of Philadelphia,I wouldn’t have liked to seemyself play anywhere else,”Jackson said Thursday. “Thishas been a home to me sinceday one that I’ve been here. Isaw this journey a long timeago, and I’m very happy thatI’ve been blessed with this op-portunity.”

Jackson has $4 millionworth of escalators built into

his five-year deal. To reach allof them, he would have toreach four straight Pro Bowls,win four Super Bowls andnotch 1,300 yards and 10touchdown receptions eachseason. Jackson does get $15million fully guaranteed.

“I’m comfortable and I’m

not greedy. I still have ways inmy contract of making what-ever I’m worth,” Jackson said.“As long as I go out there andplay at the level I know I’m ca-pable of playing at, with themoney, the sky is the limit.”

Jackson referenced severaltimes his late father, Bill, whodied from pancreatic cancerduring the 2009 NFL playoffs.He said the two had envisionedthis moment many times.

“One thing my dad alwayssaid is that you can’t dreamwith your eyes open and youhave to go to sleep and dreamthings and remember things,”Jackson said.

Receiver officially inks five-year deal with Birds Recalls dreaming of moment with late father Thanks God, owner, coach, family and fans
